All right, let's see. All right, a little bit of news. Looks like President-elect Trump is sticking with his plan to levy tariffs against America's trading partners in an interview on Meet the Press that aired this weekend. He said heavy tariffs would be imposed against the likes of Mexico, Canada, China. Asked about concerns. He said he can't guarantee anything, but here's what his list is to attack. He said he's going to work on extending tax cuts. He won't seek to impose restrictions on abortion bills. Does plan to deport the criminal undocumented immigrants.

to deport the criminal undocumented immigrants, pardons for some of the January 6th people. He's not going to raise the age for government programs like Social Security and Medicare and will not make any cuts to those at all. So that's good news. There's pressure this time of year to be happy, but for many, Christmas brings the holiday blues. That's what it says here.

This doctor says the best thing to do is talk it out, get rest, eat right. Hey, thanks for that advice. It really helps make a difference. Come break some shit. Yeah. There you go. Go break something. That's what you need to do.

Go over to the break room and channel that into something fun. Yeah. And little doggie, you do have to make an appointment. Yeah. Yeah, you got to make an appointment. Yeah. Let's see so uh the rumor mills in high gear trying to figure out who's going to be cast for the new

harry potter series on hbo francesca gardner from succession is the writer she said over 30 32 000 kids in audition tapes for the lead roles of harry hermione and ron uh the level of secrecy is pretty high, but they are starting to float some names out. We'll see what happens. But interesting that they're going back to dust that off and make a series out of what they made seven movies out of. Yeah.

Are you interested? I don't know about that. You know, I've seen it. I mean, it's Harry Potter season. Yeah. I mean, it's... Your wife's going to I mean, it's... I guess it is. Your wife's going to be all over that, isn't she, though? Not likely.

No? I thought she was a big Potter fan. No, she can't. Anything that's science fiction, she doesn't do it. There's the guy. She doesn't like... The only sci-fi she'll make an exception for is Deadpool. And that's because it's Ryan Reynolds.

Is that sci-fi? Even in a costume. Is that sci-fi? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Okay. pool and that's because it's ryan reynolds even in a costume is that sci-fi yeah yeah absolutely okay yeah if you have superpowers it's sci-fi uh let's see a gold derby put together its list of the most popular christmas songs ever you might expect mariah carey to be top of this list um but actually the song all i Want for Christmas was number one. Bing Crosby's White Christmas is up there. Elvis Presley's Blue Christmas.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. All those. Let's see. Thousands of people are commenting on social media. Hey, just make all the noise you want, Gunnar. It's cool. We're not running a show here, bro. I mean, thanks for coming by.

It was decorated and lit up with Christmas lights. Probably not smart.

They said the driver had a revoked license. Hey, dumbass. Shocker. Nothing like bringing attention to yourself when you have a revoked license, huh? Well, how was he supposed to get, like, wherever he needed to go? Well, I don't know. I guess walk. Take an Uber. supposed to get like wherever he needed to go well i don't know i guess walk taking uber the

government of uh syrian president assad collapsed over the weekend that led assad to flee the country for russia uh speaking at a conference on saturday before rebels moved into damascus the security advisor said rebels were able to move quickly because the chief backers of the Assad regime had been weakened and distracted, referring to Iran, Russia, and Hezbollah. That opinion was repeated by Biden when he addressed the nation yesterday, saying this regime brutalized, tortured, killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Syrians. So we'll see if the new boss is better than the old boss. Yeah, I mean, honestly. I'm sure we'll have to remove them from power and, you know, 15 years or something like that.

Who knows? Uh, the search still on for the guy who smoked the United healthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, uh, the New York police department released two photos of the suspect, one showing him through the partition of what appears to be a taxi wearing a blue medical mask and hoodie,

a gray backpack found in central park found to have a jacket and monopoly money in it uh the murder weapon has not been found thus far uh the weird phenomena going on man uh all these people coming out like celebrating this and it's so weird it is hilarious and there's a group i'm a part of, and the memes that have come out are hilarious because they're all Twilight-based, like the movie Twilight. And everybody's thirsting over this guy, like absolutely thirsting over him. Over the killer? Yes. Yes.

What about, though, all the people who are talking about that they're acting as if the CEO had it coming, like, oh, that's fine. Kill more of them. What do you think? I agree. You agree? Yeah. Come on now. That would be murder.

Demand us. What? It's murder. She just looked at me like I'm crazy. Okay. Well, I'm just asking you to elaborate. I mean, if you're going to take people out. Well, no.

I'm not saying that, you know well i can understand like i can i can understand you know i mean who knows you empathize with some of the statements no i empathize 100 100 the claims that get denied people that die the the uhc is like the worst insurance company we have in our country, and they deny so many claims. All the reports about what they've done as far as like using AI software, you know, now, and it's denying over 90% of the claims. And this stuff that can be covered, should be covered, is covered. And this stuff that can be covered, should be covered, is covered. You've got people that have no medical experience or knowledge making decisions on what an individual needs rather than listening to the doctor. Like they can eat a dick.

You know, I have no sympathy. I like what I mean. I like that you have a strong take on it. take on it. It's a real interesting conversation anyway, because, you know, if you go back to the nineties, the early nineties, health insurance was a luxury. Not everybody had health insurance at all. Now, when it first started, it was pretty inexpensive, but over time it became more expensive because guess what? We started doing more stuff. You know, we started having, you know, taking more medications, doing more things. We started treating things that you wouldn't necessarily have done before. And so the costs do go up.

So I guess the question I have is what should they be obligated to cover? You know, and that's where it gets real gray, doesn't it? You know, is what should, I mean, you're paying for a service. What should, I mean, is it a human right to have health care? I don't know. I should i mean you're paying for a service what should i mean is it a human right to have health care i don't know i mean if you pay for it i mean i don't know i mean it's a it's a question in australia uh i sat and talked to a guy probably for an hour it's fascinating they pay 70 that's what their tax rate is now they don't have any health stuff they have to pay for. It's all paid for. But again, they pay 70% income tax.

That's a large chunk. I'm sure a big chunk of that goes to combating all the things that want to kill you in Australia. Yes, definitely. It's hard. It's probably pretty high there. Everything that wants to kill you? Well, no. You have to have a life alert.

You're required to if you live in Australia. Tell them I've been attacked and I can't get away. 70% on a small business, man. That's a lot. I mean, that's a lot on everybody, isn't it? That's a lot, man. The FDA is seeing red about red at a meeting. This is good. At the Senate Health Education Labor Pensions Committee,

the FDA deputy commissioner says it's been over 10 years since the safety of red number 40 had been evaluated and that FDA has a petition in front of them to revoke the authorization board. And so they're going to try to get rid of the red dyes. Yeah. Well, they should. I mean, that one.

I support that so much. It's been a problem for a long time. I don't know about that. That's pretty good. But it is. Yeah, it tastes pretty good. No, I actually have a reaction to it. Do you?

Yeah. It makes me, it nauseates me. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. The threats against elected officials apparently continue. Democrat Rep. Lori Trahan said her family and home got a bomb threat.

Yeah, that's not uncommon these days everybody's getting them everybody's getting them um it looks like that during a wide-ranging interview on meet the press uh donald trump said that rfk is going to investigate the link between potentially between vaccines and autism you don't think that's possible? I didn't say that. No, I was just curious. Just curious. I don't know if it is or not.

Alex Jones lost another attempt. Yeah, he's a POS. I don't like Alex Jones. So I'm not mad that he lost. Let's see. Federal appeals court rejected TikTok's attempt to overturn the ban law. It's one step closer to being banned. A federal appeals court rejected their attempt. I still don't quite understand. I don't either. I mean, it's like, so only American

companies can spy on us. Is that the deal? That's what's up. I mean, I like TikTok. They're spying on me. So be it. I mean, what am I hiding? Well, I figured that was part of an agreement that we have with them or something, you know? Probably so, you know that's that's great that's great that's great china yeah united airlines fantasy flight program spreads holiday cheer to kids facing hardships takes them and their families on special journeys to the north pole uh the special flight takes off from 13 cities worldwide, circles the skies, lands back at the gate that's been transformed into Santa's workshop by volunteers. One flight from Honolulu offered kids battling cancer or grieving loved ones a heartwarming holiday experience. That's pretty cool. Flagler County Sheriff Sergeant Paul DeSouza saved a young boy's life while vacationing at Dollywood with his family.

D'Souza saved a young boy's life while vacationing at Dollywood with his family. He heard cries for help, discovered a park employee attempting the Heimlich maneuver on a boy who stopped breathing and was turning blue. With help from an off-duty paramedic who was also with his family, they performed CPR, successfully revived him, and the boy is fine. Yeah, didn't get back on another roller coaster, but he was fine. Hey, if you got extra money, you could have had this. A pair of ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz sold for 28 mil at auction. Those are the ones that were stolen previously? Yes, they were stolen from a museum in 2005, recovered by the FBI in 2018. They're one of only four pairs remaining from the 1939 film.

The bidding, which included the Judy Garland Museum, was intense, but the winning bidder remains anonymous and paid $32.5 million with fees and all. Good God. Yeah. Shut your face. Yeah, no, that beat the record of $5.52

million for Marilyn Monroe's dress. $28 million and you pay $32 and some change. Bless your heart. I'm so sorry. I want to remain anonymous too. No, it's probably better that way. My therapist would be like. Moana 2 won the box office again.

Overall, it's taking about 600 mil in two weeks wicked uh another 35 mil gladiator 2 still bringing in money 12.5 million um yeah uh reacher have you do you watch that show reacher oh my god it's such a good show man if you get a chance to watch it uh the trailer dropped and it's pretty cool because if you know anything about uh the guy that plays him alan richardson he's six five real big guy and in the trailer this guy is much bigger and whooping his ass uh seven foot two and uh yeah he's seven foot two bodybuilder and uh it's a real real interesting little trailer there to take a look at because you don't see a guy that big get manhandled you know i want to see that yeah all right a little bit of sports the college football championship weekend

So in the first round on December 20th, number 10 Indiana will fight number 7 Notre Dame. Saturday it'll be SMU and Penn State, Clemson and Texas, Tennessee and Ohio State. Any predictions on those games? No? Somebody's going to win. That's a good call. Good call, Amanda. The second round matchups will see Boise State play host on New Year's Eve

the salary goes from 51 million to 55 million. That's nice. That's nice. That's good for him, man. And the WWE. Sometime early next year, wrestling fans will be treated to a new series called WWE LFG.

Those last three letters stand for legends and future guests as compared to what you probably thought when you first started this show will center around former superstars like triple h the undertaker sean michaels booker t and others as they take a stab at mentoring a new generation of aspiring wrestlers so that's interesting now they're going gonna you know keep the older guys in by turning it into uh kind of a ufc style and i got caught up on my wrestling this weekend this past weekend but i still got two episodes i finally finished war games and it was the best i've seen in a hot freaking minute man the otc is back and you defeat defeated um solo i mean oh i'm solo

i wish um no it was such a good it was such a good grito shot first if gunner says it then it's true that's that's right that's right if gunner says it it's true it's true let's uh true. Let's do this. Let's talk about Fitz Auto for just a minute. Listen, if you are looking for a vehicle, go to 8421 Stagecoach Road in Little Rock or Fitzauto.com. You can do your application online there. And it does not affect your credit. They'll get you pre-approved without affecting your credit. And when I say they have good vehicles i'm talking about newer vehicles low miles a great condition we bought seven vehicles from them and uh matter of fact my

lexus now has about a quarter million miles on it it's gone through my wife myself and now my son that's how good a vehicle it's been and i think you'll have the same luck check them out fitsauto.com uh let's talk about something else shall we manners for men when a woman explains how she feels always respond with I hear you and then fix it with duct tape there you go now we can watch the movie this has been manners for men high five donkey Well, I don't know if that's appropriate or not. But I think this is, here's some holiday stuff kind of interesting. On Thursday, Uber, Uber Eats, says they're now going to deliver Christmas trees, Hanukkah bushes, and other decor right to your door. Stop it.

That's right. They said each December we look for new ways to delight our customers. Delight. Yes. So they're going we look for new ways to delight our customers. Delight. Yes. So they're going to bring the holiday magic directly to your door. They even had Macaulay Culkin in the promo. Shut up. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's good marketing. So they'll offer Uber carolers, which is exactly what it sounds like. No. A troop of talented carolers that arrive at your home. Now, see, I think that would be a great prank to send someone. If you could send carolers to someone's house. Is there anything more awkward than having people open the door and people start singing Christmas songs? You've got to stand there.

You ain't coming to my neighborhood to do that. Yeah. No, they might. In the same vein, around Valentine's Day, one of my buddies in the band plays tuba. He does tubograms. Oh, that's awesome. That's right. I love that.

People pay him to show up to their significant other's work and with the tuba. Oh, that's great. Yeah, that's great, man. And there's nothing subtle about that. No, not a thing. You can't be subtle with a tuba no matter what you do. Maybe I should get him to go around and do Christmas carols as well. You should.

Maybe so, man. It's a great idea. A little caroling on his own there. I like that. They also say they'll bring you the Christmas tree, the Hanukkah bush, any holiday decor. I don't know how you order it online. I'm realizing on how lazy we are now. Right. We are pretty lazy, aren't we? Yeah. I mean, I don't want to you order it uh online on how lazy we are now right we are pretty lazy aren't we yeah i mean i don't want to go get my own tree like now you were talking about how much your

your kids asking for for christmas they want big stuff uh is there a normal amount to spend on your kids call it holiday halls depends on your situation of course but uh this group polled moms with kids of at least uh one kid five or younger and found that on average parents spend 173 bucks on presents for each kid that's it yeah that's fine mom i wish i wish thank you families with one kid shell out an average of 202 dollars maybe in the 80s okay seriously i mean like that's insane man like i'm sorry man i get it but that i don't know what do you think if you have a kid who is let's say five six seven years old what's the minimum you think you're gonna spend on their christmas toys are expensive toys are expensive toys are really expensive yeah

like the games like the nintendos and all that gets really expensive but when they're young like the toys like some of that stuff is expensive so what do you think three four hundred dollars yeah five or six yeah y'all got some spoiled ass kids i know that get my cardboard box and a marker and say enjoy. Here's your kingdom. Go enjoy it. Spoiled. Edge Junior.

Mine is the first grandchild for the baby of the family. I was the baby. The black sheep is still the baby. He's the baby of the baby. He's been spoiled his entire life and it's like baby to the third power the struggle is real at 18. so have you ever dreamed about how to combine your favorite thanksgiving and christmas foods all the time well how about in the form of a hot dog never yeah well i want to introduce to you holla No. Holla Dog is a limited twist on a dog egg.

Of course, it's Sam's Club. It is. Sam's Club's combination of Thanksgiving and Christmas all on a bun. Nope. No. Here it is. The club mashup is mashed potatoes and Christmas cookies. Oh, hell no.

The turkey and the prime rib. The turkey and the prime rib on a hot dog. Yeah, that could be all right. I can do that. Yeah. Turducken or something. Yeah, kind of like that yeah something like that all right uh and okay well maybe you'll like this better i know you'll love this uh uh dive bar is generally not considered the best smelling places but i'm sure yours is uh but stones throw a dive no it's not but it's a great bar well it could be a dive

bar i mean divey yeah uh stale bears stale beer sweat and despair linger in the air but the beers are cheap the company largely non-judgmental so miller high life is rolling out a cologne the miller high life dive bar fume goes on sale today a bottle's 40 bucks i'm getting that for my baby daddy the highlight that was my favorite beer when i drank well on a budget my favorite beer was red star it said while we haven't gotten a whip ourselves it captures every familiar dive bar scent from the satisfying crack of a freshly opened beer to the comforting savory taste of bar snacks uh to achieve this the maker said they blended a variety of scents cedarwood patchouli to bring the smell of the bar top tobacco and leather to recreate the barstool smell

uh chumpaca blossom is included to recreate the smell of miller highlife opening that's an odd choice i don't ever notice flowers when i open that beer uh sea salt not included as apparently the guy at the end of the bar who's always there yeah i'm not a fan of that patchouli you know you know i like patchouli you don't like it if it's too much it's too much yeah you have to do it way too much yeah okay okay i'm i'm getting that are you i am getting the miller high life i'm getting that from my baby it's just my baby did a stone's throw should put out a cologne you really should yeah i mean i go home smelling like beer every day anyway so yeah do you do you ever just you know maybe put a little behind your ears it gets there so tell us about there and um you know you guys are a micro brewery meaning you make it so what

without giving away trade secrets or anything you know how does that even work how did how did you get started do it making beer and you know what is the process like now versus when you started at home well i mean i did start at home. That's right. That's how, that's how we started. I guess I was, I was 21, 22, maybe my sister got me this deluxe homebrew kit for Christmas one year and was like, here, you want to make, you like beer? You want to make beer?

I was like, sure. Sounds fun. And well, see where that went. Right. And so, you know, a couple of years later, I joined the homebrew club in town, met my future partners, four of us there in the club. For years, we were talking about, hey, we could probably start a brewery. And this is back, this is 2009, 2010. Back in the old days, yeah.

As far as the Little Rock brewery boom, that's back in the old days. No, that really was. It was Diamond Bear. Yeah. That was it. That's it. Diamond Bear opened in, when did they open? 2000?

And we were the next ones to open. Yeah. So we were like, yeah, there's a hole. We could, you know, let's make a brewery. And they're like, nah, let's not. Let's not. Yeah, we could do it. So one day we were like, we got to,

we got to either shit or get off the pot guys. Yeah. And so we did. And here you are. Here we are. 11 years later. So how does the process vary? I mean, obviously it's, it's a similar process,

but it's just a lot more sophisticated when you're doing it the way you do now, right? Yes and no. The process is the same. Every brewery you go to, it's, you know now right yes and no the process is the same every brewery you go to it's you know barley water hops yeast it's just a matter of how much money you've put into your equipment yeah how automated it can be our equipment's not very automated um i'm the automation yeah okay so you know it's still it's still pretty hands-on to do it uh very similar to

what i was doing at home, just 20 times larger. Yeah. Now, have you ever just ruined a whole batch? Yeah. Yeah. Were you mad at yourself? Really mad? Yeah.

Yeah, it happens. Yeah. It just straight up happens. What kind of things would cause that? Typically, it happens on the back end during fermentation. Your fermentation can go bad, be off flavors, or somehow you didn't sanitize good enough. It just takes like one cell of bacteria. To mess it up.

To mess it up, yeah. So, have you ever had a happy mistake where you did something different and it came out great? Yeah. Yeah, and you kept it? We did. Yeah? We you kept it. We did. Yeah. We've done it. You have an example?

There was one beer. At one time, my kettle is like the Mark I model of the brew kettle we got from this company that was making the smaller scale stuff, and it had kind of a design flaw whereas the the tube on the bottom that you get the beer out of is like right above the burner okay so there's this stainless steel tube just out in the open with direct fire on it so it's heating it up you can imagine how that goes yeah yeah and so it kind of kind of scorched it a little bit okay but that scorch kind of played really well with some coffee oh and it made a really nice coffee lager oh that's cool yeah

that sounds wild that does that sounds interesting though so what for the uneducated theron what's the difference you know a beer lager, all these different, what are the differences? I mean, at the basicness, there's beers or there's ale and there's lager. Okay. So ale is fermented at a warmer temperature. It's usually fermented around 70-ish degrees. Okay. That yeast operates, it's called top fermenting yeast. So it does all its magic up at the top okay

warmer hot you know hot air rises sort of thing uh that lends to a uh to a more you know fruity beer kind of uh almost say you know we'll say like fruity but but a lighter but yeah more more uh a lighter but yeah more more uh aromatic more fruity flavor kind of flavors uh more rich you know bigger bigger flavors okay and then lagers are bottom fermenting so and they ferment at 50 degrees so a lot colder and it takes longer but those are a lot smoother a lot crisper, cleaner. Okay. Just think, like, you know, the difference in, say, the finish on an IPA versus, like, American lager, Miller Lite. Those are real crisp, no aftertaste, really. You know, that's how lagers are supposed to be, where you get a lot more with the ales. Yeah. Okay.

All right. lagers are supposed to be where you get you get a lot more with it with the ales yeah okay all right what uh what are your favorite uh flavors right now the most popular uh right right now at this brewery we uh i just put out a couple weeks ago a new hazy ipa called cashmere crush okay that's a good name yeah there's a new a new hop that became available. They named Crush. It's real melon, fruity, just really good juicy hop. And it plays well with another one called Cashmere. So in a roundabout way, beer and marijuana have some similarities. It sounds like you have different things that you integrate that create different flavors and effects.

Hops and cannabis are very closely related. Yeah. Terpene sounds like. Yeah. Except you don't put terpenes in beer, right? No. It's the hops. They call it lupulin.

Lupulin? In the hops, yeah. Okay. It's pretty similar. Okay. Very interesting. There's no psychotropic effects from the leucolin, of course. Right.

Unless you drink enough of it. But it's, yeah, cannabis and hops are very, very closely related plants. Now, have you ever considered doing like a CBD or weed infused type? We have. We have. Right back. It's been a few years ago when CBD was really starting. Yeah.

And it became legal in Arkansas. Yeah. Or not illegal. Right. Yeah. We were doing it then. But talking to the ABC at that time, they were like, like yeah there's no rules on it and we can't promise you that you will not get in trouble yeah well i'm i guess i will just you can't promise me

i won't can you really they can't tell you whether it's right or wrong at that time no because there was no they don't know man there was no that's right because the uh the hemp that it comes from yeah it's kind of operating in the or was in a gray area i don't i think they've tried to i think they're getting ready to do something but that delta eight yeah you know that loophole there my i i said this before my son came home and said look at this delta eight i was like son that's that's marijuana and uh then i said well let's field test it and make sure and uh sure enough, it was, in fact, marijuana, yeah. He called it Delta-8, but it was weed all day. Have you seen the THCA?

THCA, no. It's THCA, but when you put heat to it, it turns into THC. I'm like, man, that's the same thing with that Delta-8. Yeah. Once you put heat to it, it changes the molecules, and then it's different. And even more in the gray area, like, you use the full-spectrum CBD, it's got straight-up THC in it. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Percentages. Yeah. Okay. So, there's these. So, you know, I've got a friend with a bakery that makes the magic cookies. Oh, yeah. They use the full use the friend they use

the full spectrum stuff but it ends up with you know five to ten percent thc yeah and it's not a weed brownie yeah because it's so wow that's wild isn't it and the little loopholes that uh can be there all right hey let's do something uh different shall we this hour brought to you by put a stick in your bum i'm depressed i wish there brought to you by Put a Stick in Your Bum.

All right. Let's talk about this this i think this is fascinating man so researchers are exploring the use of uh cyborg cockroaches and beetles what yeah for research and rescue so what they do is they attach these tiny circuit boards to the roaches, okay? And they can control their movement using electrical pulses. The goal is to deploy them in disaster zones like earthquake sites or things of that nature where they could locate survivors and deliver life-saving supplies. What? The cockroach isn't delivering the life-saving supplies, right?

No, no, no. It's just a search and rescue. I got you. You know, it goes and finds. Locate them. Yes. Yeah. Okay. But the cockroach isn't delivering the life-saving supplies, right? No, no, no. It's just a search and rescue. You know, it goes and finds. Locate them. Yes. Yeah. Okay. That's the story.

The work is led by Lachlan Fitzgerald. He's at the University of Queensland. It's still in its early stages, but the potential to save lives is significant although some people have raised ethical concerns about is it okay to you know hijack the bug uh in order to accomplish this oh please okay i thought they were gonna say that it could be used for bug right i thought they were gonna say it could be used for like nefarious reasons you know yeah well Yeah. Well, it certainly could be. Well, I was thinking. Buy your own roach cyborg kit.

Shut up. I was thinking about like Fifth Element, you know, like where the bug comes in. Oh, yeah. Hey, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you. Yeah, right. It's not only your Google, it's your roaches are standing watching you. Screw Alexa. Oh my God. Is it ethically wrong to hack into the bug and make it do that?

No. Is it when you smash them? What do you think, Gary? No no see we we have no uh no sympathy for the bug not for a roach a roach and a rat for a roach nope bless it no no no roaches rights no roaches rights okay we picked these men black. This is keeping the roaches alive instead of just murdering them. Okay. Give them a job. No, that's fair.

No, you're putting them to work. We're not really in control of their body. We're saving millions of lives here. We really are. No, that's fine. What if it was puppies? Uh-oh. Or kittens.

Would that be different? I don't think that I don't think it'll work on the kids only dropped one so far. Well, I did my exercises with Chad this morning. We got to roll out. We got to work them out. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. I love lamp. La, la, la. I think it's crazy that they can control a roach with a computer chip.

That's the thing. What else are they controlling? Well, that's what I wonder. I know the roaches aren't watching me now yeah some of these plants that they say we're screwed now we've just set something in motion oh yeah no okay what happens all right i wonder if we'll get shut down gunner well we were talking about big brother is coming for us ceasing to sit yeah okay uh so we're talking about animals and uh this story yeah this story

uh may make you a little bit uh sympathetic to a cat to some extent um this is a tough one a sick ohio woman who killed and ate a cat what they are eating the cats was uh was hit with a one-year jail sentence on my yeah they are they are eating the cat uh with a one-year jail sentence. Yeah, they are. They are eating the cats. With a one-year jail sentence on Monday as a furious judge slammed her for the act. To me, you present quite a danger to our community. This is Alexis Farrell. She's 27.

Said this is repulsive to me. I mean, anyone who would do this to an animal, and an animal is like a kid. i don't know if you understand that or not i i'm going to disagree with you judging just hungry animal's not like a kid is that her uh no that oh bless it i don't know what's going on yeah is she in a towel she might be did they like interrupt her in her bathing i don't know doing her spa day? I'm not sure. Oh, he's looking at something else? Okay, yeah.

He said, I don't know what. Oh, we're on our OnlyFans. Okay. I didn't realize this was a. That's right. Yeah, I didn't realize this was one of the options in there. It's like body cam footage too. He got confused when he read woman eats cat. Oh.

No, he didn't. You're stepping on my punchline no he didn't stepping on my punchline there was no confusion i like how this is blurred right here yeah the case drew headlines in september when news spread after uh she was busted in the middle of a frenzy. Officials said Pharrell is not an immigrant, and it's not tied in any way to those cases. Thank you for clearing that up. But the video on the body cam showed Pharrell on all fours outdoors eating the cat as horrified neighbors looked on. Holy shit. What did you do?

One cop is asking, why did you kill the cat? I was hungry. The judge said, you've embarrassed this county. You've embarrassed this nation. More importantly, you've embarrassed yourself. She got a one-year sentence for the cat eating incident, which will be tacked on to a separate 18 months for a hit and was hit with two prior crimes involving child endangerment.

Bless it. Yeah. Gunner, are we going to link this on the website so people can see this my question is you're sitting here eating a cat i'm guessing that she's eating that kitty raw oh no barbecue based off of like the the photos and the stills or whatever that i'm seeing that's that's my assumption like i think she just caught it and ate it yeah come here bro y'all need to put her on a whole here's the question was the cat dead when she found it or did she kill it and eat it if she killed it and ate it it was roadkill i mean yeah if it's

roadkill you're like okay well maybe i kind of get that but if you i don't i don't get it well if you're hungry well if you're hungry she're hungry, she don't look like she's hungry. I'm a little poor. She really doesn't look hungry. She's over there on the sidewalk eating a cat the little kid's looking for. Like, that's horrible.

Being a kid coming out looking for your cat and there she is eating it. Munching on it. Or your mom. Like, you know, the child endangerment charges or whatever.

Yeah, that is somebody's mom. That's the scary part. Bless them children's hearts. I don't know what kind of drugs she's got. Y'all need to get some therapy. I just don't know. Yeah, I don't know what to make you. This crocodile.

Some things will make you eat kitty, but to make you eat a cat's another story. Some things will make you eat kitty. Yeah, but not a cat's a different story. Another ball game, man. It's called ecstasy. Hey-o! Attention station employees.

The general manager says we can't afford pumpkin spiced coffee in the lounge. So instead, just sip your normal coffee and then sniff the pumpkin candle next to the machine. Thank you. Yeah, that'll do it. That'll absolutely do it. Let's do a little bit of celebrity news here. Gene Simmons has announced a new solo tour for 2025. Are you excited about that?

No. Earlier this year, he told Steve-O, in addition to wearing much more comfortable clothing, not having to spend hours applying his face paint, he makes more money at his solo shows than he did as a member of kiss he said i just show it with my guitar pick that's it no manager no roadies no trucks no equipment everything is provided by the promoter the flight hotel amps drums everything's run it locally that's the promoter's cost and whatever six figures or more amount there is i pocket

um yeah i i don't know that i'd want to go see him solo i'm not sure what what is he singing solo why i'm not buying it no i'm not buying it i think that's i think that is him is he doing jazz standards i don't know but i'm not buying it no he's doing some crooner stuff he He's doing like the Frank Sinatra thing. Man. What money? What money are you making? If it's not Kiss, who cares?

I don't know. It's so weird to me. Several of Saturday Night Live's most iconic past and current members have reflected on their time on the series. But one thing that came out recently was Pete Davidson. He said, do you know what they pay us? He was on eight seasons. No, we don't. He said, it's like three grand an episode. And I guess he said, I mean, you really don't make enough money to make big purchases.

Like, hold on, that's three grand an episode. That's once a week. That's 12 grand a month. 12 grand. I know you live in New York, but 12 grand a month ought to be okay to live on shouldn't it i feel bad davidson davidson man skeet davidson yes little doggies killing me kanye gave him that name now uh what's his name keenan thompson said well look you gotta pay your dues you gotta dues. You know, he makes more than that.

I was going to say, yeah, that's performing. That's not writing. And I'm assuming there's. Not only that, but you have to understand that Pete Davidson was in like one skit, an episode. Yeah. And he barely was there. Barely there.

Sometimes he wasn't there. Yeah. He does have some great, like. Oh, no, he's good when he's on there. The Gavin the Great. Gavin the Great. Oh, yeah. I like him. That episode is one of my all-time favorites i like i like pete no i don't like him i don't dislike him

i was kind of mad at kanye when he was calling skeet i was like why were you mad at kanye i just like i like pete man pete was cool he was kind of bullying kanye but i mean he was kind of bullying pete yeah he's kind of going back and forth i think he was in his you know kanye but i mean he was kind of bullying pete yeah he's just mad i think he was you know kanye's insane and if you're pete davidson you don't poke that bear man say what you want but uh pete davidson benefited from that yeah i mean look he he's doing just fine isn't he and i mean he's hooked up with some of the hottest ladies on the planet he sure has i mean he has man give him that that shows you you know a sense of humor goes a lot further. Yeah, because it certainly isn't his delicious looks, is it?

Hell no, it is not. No, I promise you it is not. All right, and this is kind of a weird situation. Gender neutrality, that was the thing du jour at some kind of awards called the Gotham Awards in New York. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the Gotham Awards in New York. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the Gotham Awards. And so they had actresses like Nicole Kidman, Demi Moore, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, all of these amazing ladies. But Natalie, they went they went gender neutral. And so the result

of that is no woman won any award at all. Wow. Did you hear what I said? Yeah. They went gender neutral and the ladies didn't get jack squat. Do you find an irony to this? Yeah, I do. The Gotham Independent Film Awards introduced gender-neutral acting categories in 2021. Other award shows and festivals to go gender-neutral.

It doesn't even matter. It doesn't matter. No. But there's been a movement to pressure the Academy Awards to do the same. So far, they haven't. But at the Gotham Awards Monday, actor Coleman Domingo took home the lead acting prize. His co-star Clarence Macklin won supporting acting. And, well, the ladies didn't get jack shit, so there you go.

We've solved all the problems now, so everybody can go back to work. That's great. That's fantastic. I love it. Does your cat hate you? Here, kitty. Never mind. I'm going with yes. Maybe it's because you make him poop in that crappy litter. I'd hate you if you made me do that. Oh, I do hate you? Here, kitty. Never mind. I'm going with yes.

Maybe it's because you make him poop in that crappy litter. I'd hate you if you made me do that. Oh, I do hate you. Introducing Glitter. Glitter is litter made of diamonds. Diamonds. You've heard of them. Jay-Z's cat poops on diamonds.

Are you saying Jay-Z loves his cat more than you do? Might need a new... If you get your cat glitter litter made of diamonds, maybe his attitude will improve. Pooping on diamonds will do that. Ask Beyonce. And if Jay-Z can afford litter made of diamonds, anyone can. If your cat is still

mean after you give him diamonds to poop on, he's probably just an asshole. Just stop feeding him. Glitter! Litter made of diamonds. Because your cat deserves better. Yeah, I don't know if Jay-Z's going to be getting glitter, kitty glitter for its kitty anymore. No. Hey,

a home this weekend that was great yeah i know it was great and i'll tell you what if uh now's a pretty good time uh honestly because the market's had a pretty big shift. We're seeing another decrease in mortgage rates this week, which is awesome. But what you're really seeing and the reason it might be a good time is the market shifting to more buyer market right now. So it's a little lopsided where the buyers can kind of get a better deal right now. So if you're thinking about getting a house, it's a very good time to do that because there's some great values on the market right now. Rates are down and you're going to have a little bit more power than I think in six months from now. In six months from now, when all the inventory flips again, I think it'll

be a seller's market again. So I would say, Hey, if you're thinking about getting a house in the next few months is probably a really good time to do it. And you can email me, you can call me 575-5485. That's my cell phone. [phone]. Text me, call me if you got a house to sell. If you want to buy a house, I'm glad to help you out with either of those things or just get you some information, uh, whatever you need. All right. Uh, let's talk about this. Uh, everybody stumbles trying to say a name or a new word from time to time, but some tend to trip people up more often. A new report tells us what the most mispronounced words of the year are. Might make you feel better about some of the words you struggle with this year.

This company is called the Captioning Group, and they determine which words newscasters, politicians, and others in the media had the most trouble saying in 2024. So what are the most mispronounced words in the U.S.? According to this, number one is Kamala. I'm pretty sure that's intentional. Kamala Harris is the actual, not Kamala. I always said that. Like the Ugandan warrior?

I don't know. Yeah, no. No, no, no. Apparently this, I don't even know this word, Quaker Hunchie. Quaker Hunchie. That's a dog breed that apparently made headlines when shohai otani's uh i don't know something to it's like a lab i think yeah yeah uh why are these names pete budaj yeah we knew that weird one uh she and the sheen do you know the place you order stuff from where they they have kids do it

yeah those kids work those kids work cheap y'all man i don't know if you know that but you can buy stuff for pennies man i i wish we could pay kids to work that cheap here man we get some good stuff um let's see uh speculus speculus 3b it says that's an earth-sized exoplanet what what the is that got to do with anything stupidest worst list i've ever seen i'm impeaching it now seriously i've just impeached it i thought it was like going like i thought it was real words yeah i didn't think that was dumb as shit i'm not gonna lie instead of saying specific people to say pacific yeah no that like that's absolutely just a ridiculous list. Rassling. Rassling.

From the south, man. From the what? Basinger. Basinger. This is weird and a great story. Congressional and internal investigations into sexual misconduct at the Mountain Home VA Med Center in Tennessee have led to resignation of several top VA officials as investigators discovered widespread sexual misconduct. At least 12 officials had an orgy at the hospital.

The location's exact place unclear. At least two employees admitted to having sex on the property, but the discovery comes after the veteran affair chairman fired off a letter to the department of the VA demanding information regarding allegations of harassment, assault, proper relationships um so okay what yeah what go ahead davanda you know you want in there i do want in there um i mean not in the orgy but i want in the conversation okay like i mean i'm getting the impression that you know that this was a consensual event maybe it was a saturday social you know they were tired of the ice cream and chill yeah you know like the team building exercise well i feel like i feel like this is like kind of um ageist maybe you know maybe a little ableist i like to throw in these i like to throw in these

words i don't know if patients were involved or not they could have had amputees involved how do i know i mean i'm assuming that that um at least do I know? I mean, I'm assuming that residents... Wouldn't you want at least one in a 12-person orgy? I'm assuming that residents were involved, and it was an event. It was a nice little gathering. It was an event, probably. It was...

They were doing this to build morale, okay? This was service work for our veterans. You can get together and watch... Christmas bonuses. Christmas bonuses. You got dang right. Y'all ain't getting a turkey this year, but we going to gobble gobble. Yeah.

Gobble gobble. Turkey leg. It's. I love it. I think it's great. Why don't these VAs, these veterans, these olders, these amputees, these PTS, these folks need. They have every right to have sexual gratification. Here's the problem.

Everyone else. The problem that I have is that, you know, we've been hearing for years about how bad the care is at the VA. Looks like things are going pretty good. Why do you want to be mad? You want to be mad about it now? Yeah. Now I don't know if it was the patients.

I don't know if it was the patients i don't know if it was the staff uh or if it was both together yeah sign up for the pot luck yeah everybody sign up for have you signed up for the orgy mildred what you bringing, girl?

So they said, well, since we did so good here on your person, let's go to your house where they were covering 17 mobile phones, 332 sheets of spice paper, five wraps of cannabis, and eight grand in cash. Five wraps of cannabis? I don't even know what that is.

Yeah, he was absolutely Winnie the pooing it down. He was Donald Ducking it. Oh, man. I want to find some honey. I don't know. What's the problem, officer? Like high school, when he's running down the street.

Yeah, we're going streaking. Who? Everybody. Who is we? All right. A German gold merchant appears to have produced the most expensive Christmas tree, or at least one of them, a $5.5 million worth of bullion on this tree. The gold Christmas tree illustrates the timeless meaning of precious metal

in an impressive way. That's what he says. German goldsmith Pro Orum might have produced one of the most expensive trees ever, it says. The high-carat conifer comprised of 2 gold phil harmonic coins they're one of the world's top selling collector coins said the gold christmas tree uh well we already said that it's 10 feet tall it was displayed at the bullion's headquarters in munich for several days i wonder how many guards stood around that damn thing man all the way around it man i'd want to get all up on that tree man that's crazy is that a picture of it yeah that is that's weak sauce that is weak for

Okay.

A box of donuts prompted the bomb squad to be called to Johnny Smith Intermediate School in Butler Township Thursday. They were called to the school on reports of a suspicious person at 1048. You see, Superintendent Rob O'Leary said a man called then showed up at the school asking for a tour. He had a box of donuts. When he was denied entry, he left the donuts outside the building well the school decided they better call the bomb squad that looks like a bomb because he left a box of donuts the bomb squad claimed they opened the box and guess what they all had a donut that's how that ended yeah it was donuts uh as michigan was whipped with winter weather and lake effect snows Wednesday, Pawpaw residence, that's a place, Pawpaw,

Janice and Eric Pantelleria went outside to find unusual lawn ornaments, dozens upon dozens of rolled up snow donuts across their lawn. Like sand dunes. Yeah, the snowy rollers are somewhat of an unusual weather phenomena since you just kind of have this heavy sticky snow coming off the lake that packed together combined with heavy winds they form these giant cylindrical snow rolls they call them snow donuts yeah said my husband's outside clearing the driveway when he noticed them at first he thought the kids had rolled snowballs but then then they were everywhere. Look at that. I would call them snowballs and not snowdonuts.

Yeah, they kind of look more like balls, don't they? They are balls. Yeah. There's no hole. No. Okay. Hey, let's see if this is true or not true real quick. Fine lines underneath the eyes, deep set wrinkles along the forehead are to be expected as part of your natural aging.

But they say if you drink through a straw, it could give you wrinkles. Is that true? Well, let's come to the answer of that. The answer is it depends on how much you drink through a straw. That's the answer. So there you go. Problem solved. Now, you know, no one's half the battle. Move on with your life. i'm glad you didn't read all 40 11 paragraphs of that why would i get us to what we are no we know it's just a waste of time actually you need like the more you know section the more you know the more you know yeah store didn't we get what you know store what we don't care about that stuff all right uh. In Maplesville, Alabama, a man dressed as the Grinch was arrested after having too much eggnog at the old-fashioned Christmas event and causing a scene at the parade. They charged him with public intox, resisting arrest, theft of property, and, quote, intent to steal Christmas cheer.

Having too much fun. Shut up. Yeah. Yeah. No, he was definitely arrested in Alabama. What? Stealing Christmas cheer. Is that even a charge?

Well, it is for the Grinch. In Orlando, a Florida woman, Victoria Moose, fled a traffic stop by driving off in her SUV while a police officer was in the back seat with her six-year-old daughter. Officers initially stopped her for failing to yield, discovering during the stop her license was suspended. She had a DUI warrant. After being informed of her arrest, she resisted, ran back to her escape, and drove away despite commands to stop. She was followed by other officers and taken into custody i cannot wait to see that

footage yeah yeah that's gonna be great there's the grinch by the way you got arrested yeah yeah yeah that's rigged what i think that was rigged that was no no not at all no way come on he's arrested for attempting to steal christmas cheer Yeah, no, that's legit. Sounds legit. That's right. Two men with strikingly similar appearances, same name, same job, decided to take a DNA test to see if they were brothers.

Both named Brady Fiegel. The six-four red-haired, red-bearded baseball pitchers share not only their looks and profession, making their connection more bizarre. One plays for Perico de Puebla in Mexico. The other plays for Oakland in the U.S.

The DNA test did reveal they're not biologically related despite their uncanny resemblance. Look at them. They look like twins. They really do. So much so, they thought they had to get tested. That's kind of crazy. They really do. So much so they thought they had to get tested. That's kind of crazy.

That is wild. I don't know. You don't even know, huh? I don't know. It's Monday. No, she's acting weird. Let's go. Attention station employees.

Adderall is a controlled substance, but it definitely makes you better at your job, which can lead to promotion and making more money but don't do drugs thank you drugs are bad man what's going on here let's pull that mic up there for you there you go love to the mic yeah you just want to get up about like this on it you know all right what's going on man hey how's it going man it's going good tell everybody who you are man hey i'm zed ballantyne i'm a comedian out of little rock yeah so uh you uh are a stand-up comedian right and you perform uh all over you perform locally are you newer to it are you a long time in it i do a lot locally but also travel as well okay and uh i've been doing it a little over three years three years now okay so you do perform at the joint the loony bin where do you go yeah yeah joint and loony bin okay and so

uh i do do a lot of gigs there uh i actually have a gig at the joint uh next month that i'm at the end of next month and i'm producing and I bring in a headliner from Missouri oh that's cool yeah that's great that's great man that's awesome so what got you into comedy well um I've always been a fan I remember uh back in junior high uh I'd watch a lot of stand-up on BET and uh it just uh fascinated me that people could could just hold an audience's attention with these words. And so, you know, I wanted to do it for 20 years before I actually went to an open mic to try it for the first time. So, and when I did, you know, I feel like I've kind of force-gumped my way through comedy. Yeah.

Stumbled through some, into some really good opportunities by accident. But, you know, I did an open mic at a club in Chattanooga. A couple weeks later, they had me come back and do it. And so I had a whole other five minutes. And that one went well. And at the end of that night, they had me back for a weekend of paid gigs. Yeah, that's right. Six weeks in, I was getting paid for it, which is absurd.

That's pretty great. That is absurd. That's a good natural ability to have right there. So who were some of your favorite comics that inspired you? I really love Ron White. Yeah, he's a great storyteller. He's one of my favorites, which you know i i was introduced to him like most people with through the blue collar comedy tour yeah yeah he was the good one on

that yeah yeah he was my favorite by far and uh uh i i was recently went back and watched that set and surprisingly it it's like a only a 10 minute set you know like uh yeah they aren't that long yeah there's that on that show and uh but it made them household names all of them and it was it was one of the most brilliantly packaged comedy tours in the history of time i mean it absolutely they combined their forces as um lame as some of them were them were and did amazing things with it. Look, I think Larry the Cable Guy is great. I think he carved a good niche. I've never been a fan of Foxworthy.

No. And what was the other? Bill Ingvall. Yeah, never been a fan of Here's Your Sign, Bill Ingvall. I can't even remember. Yeah, no, everybody forgot about him. Everybody forgot about him. But Foxworthy hadn't worked a day since that tour.

No, I mean, no. It was brilliant. I take nothing away from the marketing. You know, it's brilliant. But lots of things are marketed that we buy and suck. I didn't feel like Ron. Yes, I'm in the beer industry. I'm very well aware that marketing sells beer.

Not quality. Some people buy natural light by choice. in the beer industry yes i'm very well aware that marketing sells beer yeah not quality some people buy natural light by choice yeah by choice they choose natty light yeah yeah i don't know about that now i didn't really feel like ron fit in with the blue collar part like i didn't feel like i don't know maybe maybe a higher level blue collar but it just i think he's just different because it seemed like he drank better liquor than the rest of them so it didn't match for me he's just a storyteller versus a punchline dropper but he was funny i've always thought ron was funny he know he public you threw me into public i was drunk in a bar like ron how many times have i been there like that's like every tuesday before

i quit drinking like no he he has a a really great way about it he's one of probably one of the better storytellers i've ever seen uh he's really really good uh who else did you like man i love nate bargatze he's one of my favorites okay yeah she's just blowing up right yeah all over the place so where is the coolest place that you feel like you've played so far that you enjoyed the most? You know, I'll always be, I'll always love the Comedy Catch in Chattanooga because that's where I got my start. Right.

And I love Looney Bin Little Rock. You know, that's where I'm able to cut my teeth. Yeah. I love Looney Bin Tulsa. Like like i've always had every time i go there i've always had what kind of comedy uh what kind of comedian are you would you say um well i am a clean comedian and so um you know i'm someone you can bring your grandmother to see and she won't get too uh too offended uh she's dead so she'll be yeah okay well even so you know yeah yeah but i'll roll her out do you do any dead grandma jokes i do i do have that's great yeah if you're not doing a dead grandma joke what are you doing right right how to do that and uh i'm also a musician so i work in uh musical comedy too so oh that's great dad do you guitar piano what

uh guitar guitar okay yeah there's a a great uh musical comedian by the name of adam dodd and uh adam is uh from the east coast you ever get a chance to look him up okay uh because he is he's really really good and uh he's a great one so hey are you guys having fun he is he found a cape and a mask it's about to get wild in here it is monday in the legion scaffolding studios so tell me this uh it's got to be now more than ever i would say challenging to break through as a clean comic uh versus you know what you see a lot of uh everybody's out free in the nipple, freeing their language, you know, doing their thing. Of course, Jim Gaffigan, Brian Regan come to mind.

They're both outstanding comedians who've mastered that art form. How do you, you know, break through and get people's attention, you know, going clean like that? Yeah, I mean, that's a good question. That's something I'm trying to figure out myself. Like, I would say being clean can get you a lot of work. Like, you know, like, especially a lot of hosts and opener work.

Sure, right. Yeah. You know, clean headliners want clean openers. Even some dirty headliners want clean openers. No, that's true. That's actually an interesting point that he's bringing up because I've seen that before I've had that requested of me at times where the manager of the the comedian who was headlining came to me

and said listen we would prefer you don't use any F bombs or anything like that we want to save that for the headliner and so they don't want you to break that wall they want them to break that wall do they come to you early on with that or is that something they spring on you whenever you get on site they like to spring it to you when you get there dick move yeah no it's a great move and um no dick yeah no it's a great move okay no it's one of those things where you just go okay yeah whatever you say you know okay um yeah i've definitely seen that i've never cared what the comedians before me did as long as it was funny or terrible either of those work great

i love to follow i'd say i love to follow a comedian who failed. That's the best way to get up on stage because the tension is so high at that point that if you come out with a good joke, you're just crushing, you know? Same for you? I don't know. I prefer the person, I don't like to dig out of a hole. I would prefer that. I prefer somebody else to do the work. I live in a hole. Yeah. Same. I want to ride somebody else's co the work. I live in a hole. Yeah.

Same. I want to ride somebody else's coattail. Okay. Let them bring the energy up, and I'll just ride that wave. I like that. Look, it's great to take a hot hand and run with it, you know, as long as you can do it. Yeah. You know, and that's the key, is if they've got a hot hand, you better come in, better come in ready to do it as well and be just as hot.

What about you? Like in a beer competition. No, Darren is funny. He's super witty. He's just low key. Yeah. You know? Yeah.

It was absolutely terrible. And I was

like, you know, we could do a better job than this. So here's what, what they sent. They sent this thing of punchlines. I guess you're supposed to use in this, which is top signs. Your dinner was microwave, which sounds like a throwback to some old you know tonight show type thing or something right yes uh first of all the prep sucks because of that the format of it sucks however having said that i was just like well let me read through and see you know what kind of punch lines they generated so top signs your dinner was microwaved uh you were eating 20 seconds after the beep is that funny no no okay uh there's a bit of melted plastic in your food yeah yeah that's how i felt too sarah lee was the chef shut up yeah uh-huh uh the corn is burned the potatoes are too hot and the chicken is ice cold

those are pretty pretty uh bad so let's just do our own yeah it completely brought down the energy in the room yeah i did it's meant to uh so come up with our own punch lines let's go to the comedian top sign your dinner was microwave go you pulled it out of a microwave that was gonna be my great answer right there i'll give that one that's strong that's strong that's strong yeah i like that that's great all right darren top signs your dinner was microwave yeah yeah okay yeah no i love it i love it amanda i mean that that was mine yeah i would say pulled it out of the microwave two words Salisbury steak. Oh. Yeah, that's the one.

Patio. Patio. You remember patio? Yeah, El Patio. Oh, God, I miss the patios. Man, I remember when microwaves first came out, and I know that sounds stupid to say, but it was the coolest thing in the world.

It was. It was like, oh, my God, I can make food this fast, man. So what were the things that you were doing? what do you remember the the food you were excited about in that time um i mean if he pop no no but healthy choice healthy choice and lean cuisine first came out kind of you know when i was getting in with microwaves we were really only doing popcorn in microwaves like my well no my mom has made chicken in microwave. Oh, no, no, don't do that. No, well, it was, it was, it was the eighties and the nineties. So, I mean, this is why I'll probably live forever. But, um, we ate salmonella and didn't complain.

Yeah. It was delicious. Yeah. It was part of a staple meal. Thank you. Thank you. More gluten, more salmonella. Yes.

Thanks mom. 100%. But we had, more salmonella. Yes. Thanks, mom. 100%. But we had a bank of microwaves at the school. Oh, yeah. And all the girls had body image and issues and eating disorders. So we all would roll in with lunch. And it was always like a healthy choice or a lean cuisine meal. Wow.

Yeah. But there was this chicken. It was chicken and wild rice and green beans with mushroom reduction. And that was like my, that was your jam. That's what I ate until, you know, I started, you know, hell yeah. I wanted to, that's back when they were wrapped in aluminum foil and I wanted to thaw one out. How'd that work for you? Set it on fire? Set the microwave on fire. Yeah, that's awesome, man. Yeah. I'll never forget the first time I accidentally left a fork in there and it looked like that, uh, that Tesla machine, you know, it's going crazy. It's's funny though to think about the things that we didn't have uh you know we had to to actually cook the food you couldn't microwave

the food yeah yeah the same same thing you think about when you you know you had to call someone on an actual telephone that's what i was thinking about is the landlines you know they were the greatest man landlines were the greatest it was the absolute greatest wasn't it yeah nothing better than having your dad get on and needing to use the phone and just going oh my god or or when we first got internets the the internets and you had you couldn't be on the phone if somebody picked up the phone you were kicked off blessings and salutations yeah it was very difficult to get your porn on in early internet days it'd take forever to load yeah you know take like 20 minutes for the boob picture to load in you're done before it even loads you know

like or i don't know that's me theron you you strike me as a non-microwave person. Nowadays, yeah. Yeah. I cook a lot, yeah. Yeah. You know, early days, you know, microwave pizzas. Mm-hmm. The ones that are really terrible.

Oh, yeah. They're the best. The Red Baron. Yeah. Should not be eaten. But, you know. Yeah. They were often like school pizzas, the first microwave pizzas. I ate a lot of those as a teenager. Yeah. Now, I like the. Those were delicious. The school pizzas the first uh microwave pizza a lot of those as a

teenager yeah no i like the uh those were delicious the school pizzas were the best that was a good day the rectangle shape with the corn and the salad yes that's how it always came at my school one pepperoni like if you got a whole pepper yeah you're like oh my god yeah ours came with the little little chunks yeah you know we had the little square pieces on it yeah oh bless it no we never had a whole pepperoni that was a privileged school that's mount saint mary's for you you get an actual pepperoni at mount we got papa john's oh wow but that was once every couple weeks or something some shit like that yeah i thought it was the coolest thing when i got into high school because you know i i would either take your lunch or go to the cafeteria but

in high school we had the snack bar where you could go and buy burgers and all the things that were absolutely wrong to have uh and that's what i did every day like no i don't want the cat why would i go over and eat fried chicken with green beans where i can go get a burger and fries are you kidding me yeah no that's what i did yeah uh did y'all have the snack bar at school like that uh no we didn't we had vending machines though yeah yeah we did have vending machines um and you you know you had some options as far as like food but most of us you know survived on snickers and diet have they completely gotten rid of chocolate milk in school or is it back now? Yeah, I have no idea.

They were taking it out. Michelle Obama took it out. But I don't know if it went back in or not. I was like, that's the most evil thing I can imagine taking the chocolate milk out. That's why I homeschool my kids. Yeah, no, that's a good call. That's where we drew the line. That's where you should draw the line.

Yeah, no, that's enough. Speaking speaking of landlines do any of you remember your your landline number from when you were a kid i do i do too what was yours uh 226-7586 west sider oh south we're from south arkansas oh south arkansas okay okay 376-1650 i don't i don't remember mine to be honest no it's just been too long that triggered me what about you yeah uh the downstairs line oh we're getting we're getting oh downstairs line oh up and down number wow the downstairs line was my parents line you know 942-4430 you know that one.

That's what happens. You learn how to operate the heavy equipment. Like, once I got the hang hang of the rod and lawnmower like why don't you go get on the husk barn over there and start bush hogging yeah did you ever see anything cool like on your 480 acres like no sasquatch no not really skinwalker no no bear cougar not just you know in her 40s but no just just the regular just regular animals did you have any interesting pets like raccoons or squirrels yeah my dad my dad liked birds yeah okay and when i say birds we had them all turkeys turkeys chickens peacocks.

And it was pretty rough in that time even. But behind, I was at the back of the apartments, and right behind it was a street. And why these people had a rooster, I do not know.

But they did. And that rooster, about 4.30 every morning, would crow. And it would wake me up because it was literally right behind my apartment and I was getting pissed off. So I went and bought a BB gun. And I would set my alarm for 4.15 and I would just aim my sight on it and wait. And as soon as that beat came open, pow! And go, er, and pow after about three days it never crowed again it never crowed you now that's wrong i know that's wrong but uh but i slept better what's your punting story or or bb gun whatever your your animal cruelty so sarah mclaughlin coming for you story. Oh, yeah. She definitely was coming for me. I used to bully chickens at my babysitter's house.

Oh, wow. This is a great story already. Already. And then one day they all, I don't know how they communicate, but they all had a plan and they revolted all at the same time. Like I went out to the yard to get a bicycle, and I could tell something was up. Something in the air.

The vibe was off. The chickens had a look about them. They just started kind of all migrating towards me at the same time from different directions. Oh, shit. And when I realized they were about to pounce on me, I grabbed the bike and took off and then that's when they just came unglued and oh i never was cruel to an animal after that

they must have really did you yeah which uh to this day like did they like jump on you fly at you what did they do yeah just fly just basically got their bluff in like yeah i wasn't injured or anything but like a bird flying at me still freaks me out it's like raptors he got circled by the raptors these little dinosaurs yeah yeah no that's great i had a bird that uh at the old station that uh i guess it had a nest up there and when i'd go out to smoke it would start diving at my head and try to hit me yeah i'm like i'm plenty away from it i'm not really like i'm just down here to hit me. I'm like, I'm plenty away from it. I'm not really, I'm just down here smoking.

Leave me alone. I'm not even over by the nest, but it didn't like it. Yeah. It also had a bird shit on my head once. Just standing outside and you're like, oh, come on, man. Yeah, that's pretty bad. I've had that happen. I was out running and I could see it happening.

The bird was flying this way overhead and i could just see the torpedo coming down and oh wow that was the last time i ran i can also understand that the last time i did forget that what kind of if you could have any animal as a pet uh within reason what what would you have man wombat a wombat all right what is that's kind of like a a nutria like a big rat it's like a beaver it's a big rodent yeah yeah yeah you just want a big beaver yeah don't we all yeah i mean rodents of unusual size you can understand i do i definitely understand uh well if you could have any it's more cushion what is it you said you said a uh wombat a wombat okay where are do

they have those here even are they here are they only in australia somebody google that okay what about if you could have any animals a pet not? Not a domestic. I want a big kitty. Like a lion or a tiger. Yeah. Yeah. No, you haven't learned from Joe Exotic how that works? No, not at all. When he calls tomorrow, I'm going to put you on with him and let you learn something.

I figured since we've got this great relationship now, he can give me all the ins and outs on how to do this. Oh, I'm sure he can give you the care package. Well, I mean, not me. He won't give me the care package, but I mean. Yeah, I don't know. He'll give you the care package. Well, I mean, not me. He won't give me the care package, but I mean. Yeah, I don't know. He'll give you the care package. He will.

And what about yourself, man? I think I would like to have a baby chimp. A chimp? Yeah, about. Yeah, something that will eat your face off. Good idea. Have you seen Chimp Crazy yet? Yeah.

Yeah, no, I don't want anything to do with a chimpanzee or any other monkey for that matter. I did have a pet skunk one time. Did you? Yeah, that's what's up. He sent it? No, no, I don't want anything to do with the chimpanzee or any other monkey for that matter. I did have a pet skunk one time growing up. Did you? Yeah, that's what's up. No, no. Oh, that's a little scary there. You are, you're a badass. Yeah.

So you had a pet? No, just white trash. You're just white trash? Okay. Did you just find it as a baby? Yeah. How did you end up with a pet skunk? I don't know how my parents found this skunk but they

brought it home one day they're like hey we have this and i'm like what what's the deal my dad was like yeah it's just like a cat no why don't you bring home a cat it would have been better yeah it's a pole cat it's in the ferret family they're all the same. Speaking of skunks, I just got back from overseas. The zoos over there, they have displays of skunks and raccoons and possums. I was like, I guess those are exotic over here. Wow, that is amazing that they have those in the zoo, actually. That never occurred to me. Wow.

Yeah, I never would have thought about it. We just looked at them in the yard. It was on the highway. Yeah. One of the funniest things, and it is terrible, but one of the funniest things I'd ever seen was that, and it was here in Arkansas that I think somebody got the picture of it, but it was like an armadillo that it was roadkill and it was laying on its back and somebody put a cigarette in its mouth and some balloons in its hand. We've done that a few times. Oh my God, that was so funny. Oh my God. We've done that a few times oh my god that was so funny oh my god yeah that shit's funny awesome that's so funny doug said he loved how ready you were to say wombat yeah yeah i feel like you've thought about this yeah yeah i'm i'm

i'm a fan of the wombat okay yeah uh listen uh joey said my high school took out the cafeteria and put in McDonald's. Wow. That's a fancy. Wow. What kind of school? That's amazing. I wish I'd had that. That's no, I'd be even fatter.

Um, let's see. Uh, said we also had pizza on Fridays at school and home because we live in predominantly a Catholic town. What Catholics, they love pizza or something. Is that the deal? It's Catholic. Oh, okay. I love pizza or something? Is that the deal? Pizza on Fridays, Catholic High did it. Oh, okay. I think everybody did that.

I don't know about that. Okay. I figured every school had pizza day. But is it a meat-free pizza? Oh, cheese pizza. Yeah. Meatless Friday or whatever they have. Filet-O-Fish pizza.

Yeah, there you go. Filet-O-Fish pizza. Yeah, there you go. Filet-O-Fish pizza. There you go. Be careful because you'll end up with like Zaza's doing that or something. Oh, God, yeah. Ew. Ew. Ew.

Filet-O-Fish pizza. Yeah, I can't. No, I can't do that. Do you like the Filet-O-Fish? Is that a sandwich you get down to? I've never had the Filet-O-Fish. You've never had one? Correct.et of fish is that a sandwich you get down to i've never had the filet of fish you've never had one correct wow is it how is that possible is it is that really surprising that i've ever had that yeah how could you not have a filet of fish at least once in your life why would i get a fish sandwich from mcdonald's well you do you have you been to mcdonald's it's

pretty tasty yes i have been to pretty and tasty you're full of shit no i i don't believe i am you're full of filet no i don't think so you like the filet of fish man no no the only one i ever got was because they gave me the wrong order okay and i was like well i'll try it yeah and you did not i did not enjoy it no okay absolutely how about you man no i will never try that you've never tried it no no both of you are going to eat a filet of fish uh together uh and you're going to share it in front of me i had mcdonald's on the way over here and you've had it i mean yeah yeah because you're poor you've had it before yeah see amanda showed her privilege she wasn't as poor as she wanted to let on i think he just doesn't want to have to eat one on air i don't want to die like i feel like there's just there's a phobia bro bro i am so effing sorry the only thing i

have to eat is a filet of fish fine i'll eat it but i'm not juicy there's nothing in me that's like let me get that filet of fish. I mean, it's not the 90s no more, y'all. Like, I quit. Never mind. No, I understand. I quit fileting fish a long time ago. Yeah, no, it makes perfect sense. It certainly does.

Of course, you know, this new journey I'm on in my life, who knows? You never can tell what's going to show up. That's true. Okay. Choices. I'm just letting you go. I'm having fun listening to you. It's Monday.

Okay. Well, let's do something different then. So a study conducted by Army Intelligence suggests that reincarnation is real. Because consciousness never dies, according to this study that they've done, which is kind of an interesting thing. I think that's two different things. I mean, just because my consciousness never dies doesn't mean I'm coming back as something. Okay, well.

But I will say that if I'm coming back, I don't want to come back as a cockroach or a rat, just like who said that on here? Well, you don't want to be a cyborg cockroach. You don't want to be controlled. Exactly. The research has resurfaced on social media um they summarize well it says uh consciousness is energy and it exists outside of our understanding of reality uh energy never dies the mind-bending official pentagon study was commissioned to better understand what its army intel colleagues were doing sending personnel to a small institute in charlottesville virginia that was working on the gateway experience

so then secretive project based on the analysis so it was a training system designed to i don't even know what they're doing there but uh but nonetheless through this you know this series of tests they determined that uh they think that the reincarnation is real because the energy never dies therefore it's going to go into something else what uh do you do you think what do you think about reincarnation there and you think yes no possible possible possible i think there's a lot of things we don't know and don't understand yeah can't understand so yeah i agree like politics yeah yeah no that'd be one for me filet of fish yeah no i i feel you yeah i know you're

struggling with the filet of fish right now it's okay and what is that show me on the doll where the filet of fish when it's like that soda we were talking about last week too the um ranch oh yeah yeah no it doesn't compute to me no it's like eating i had a hot dog flavored potato chip once and it it really messed me up for about a year you remember the lays that whole lays thing yeah we're doing the flavors and yeah some of them are weird uh so what about you manation? Do you think it's real or no? No, I don't. But I also wonder, like, these studies, like, how do they know these things? Like, you know, if consciousness never dies. How do they know that?

Which, I mean, I'm not saying I disagree with that. Because even after she dies, your wife's still bitching at you. I don't know. It's like some of these studies that come out, I'm just like, how do you know that? No, I mean, that's fair. It's like some of these studies that come out, I'm just like, how do you know that? I mean, that's fair. That's fair. I'm taking it at face value that whatever they studied was somewhat accurate. I don't know if I believe in reincarnation in the way that I'm going to come back as an eagle or something.

But I do think your energy goes somewhere. Maybe back to the collective. I mean, energy is neither created nor destroyed. So, I mean yeah like you can't it's got to go somewhere yeah it's got to go somewhere there's a docu-series surviving death and um one of the last episodes of it um they talk to people that have uh experience their experience uh crossing over oh okay well so the first two episodes are about um near-death experiences um there's mediumship things like that but then there's the reincarnation the past lives

and some of the stuff that they i mean it's extremely interesting for me it was i don't know about anybody else but it was extremely interesting to me because just the information that some of these people had from their previous life was kind of remarkable. Now, sometimes you do see people who, for some reason, can spout off facts and identify things that sound like they're from, you know, someone's previous life or whatever that are unexplainable. It could just be crazy. Maybe. And we've talked about it before. If you wake up, you've seen it happen where people wake up and they speak a completely different language that they've never spoken before.

Now, how does that happen? You know, I mean, you didn't just pick up German by listening to a little bit here and there on TV. You know, I mean, so there's got to be some kind of wiring in there yeah i'm guessing uh darren what's a conspiracy theory that uh you you embrace um i don't think there's any you don't have any conspiracy theory i don't i don't think so no really no yeah i'm way too logical yeah okay okay okay that's interesting yeah way too logical yeah because i mean whenever i mean i'll say

something and i was like that that sounds like crap yeah and then i'll look i'm like yeah it's crap so do you think let me let me just tell you a couple easy ones here do you think that we went to the moon? Yeah. Yeah, okay. So you don't think anything about that could be a hoax or fake or anything? No, no. I saw a Transformers. We've been there. We've been there.

No, no, definitely. Yeah, no, it's a good call. Good call. Flat Earth? No. I spent too much time in the air. Yeah, you've seen the planet, actually. I've seen.

Yeah, forget that you were a commercial airline pilot. So, yeah. Yeah, you've seen the planet, actually. I've seen. Yeah, forget that you were a commercial airline pilot. So, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was before he decided to make beer. He said, ah, I know I'm a pilot and I'm cool. I got the uniform. I got the dough. I got the chicks. I got it all.

I don't want that anymore. Yeah. I want beer. Yeah. Yeah. So, as a pilot, what were some of the interesting things you've seen, some of the crazy moments that you experienced as a pilot? Just people in general.

If you can imagine it, someone at the airport did it. Yeah. Now, have you ever, you know. Oh, a good one just popped in my head. Okay. I went because it just popped over my facebook memories the other day so i remember it went to the bathroom at o'hare just you know just the regular the regular the normal bad normal people bad not the pilot and there's three three i think asian guys they look like they were asian-ish they're all three in the same stall using it, peeing.

Whoa. At the same time? At the same time, sharing. Door open? Door open, yep. Just three banging that toilet. Wow, that's fascinating. That's efficient, though.

Yeah. I mean, they're really saving water. I appreciate that. I just like a different culture, I guess. Yeah, no, it's just. You didn't say anything, too? No, I just, yeah. just yeah i'd have walked in said you got room for one more there wasn't enough room for me so you know yeah no no you make room guys come on scooch over but just just just weird stuff like that all the time now did you ever have a mechanical malfunction while flying a real one

honestly nothing major i mean there's stuff that breaks all the time but it's typically not not that big of a deal nothing like nothing like an engine failure or a fire what about real turbulence oh yeah yeah i've been been through that yeah it is you know occasionally you see a turbulence where it's really bad and people can even be injured. Yeah. That's just air current. That's all that is, really? Yeah.

Yeah. There's a difference in the shears between the wind speeds. That causes it to just swoop? Yeah. Drop like that? Yeah. What are you raising your hand for, Chad? This is not a classroom.

Oh, okay. He's asking, Chad wants to know, have you seen a ufo that's a great question want to know yeah personally no i've not seen any ufos no nothing at all have you heard stories yeah people like yeah i mean should we consider credible i don't know about credible they were very adamant yeah yeah but i've never personally how much did you normally it was it you know two or more drinks before you fly what's the required yeah yeah um typically started at two two yeah two drink minimum that was just on the ride to the airport yeah no that's the way to do it yeah that's what i want right there always pre-game before you fly for spirit i don't think spirit was around no it was

uh it was united okay no he was legit he was legit he was legit man uh it was you know how was it when you were becoming a pilot going through pilot school uh how long did that last uh i actually started started taking flying lessons when i was 15 okay and uh just because my granddaddy was like hey you want to take flying lessons? I'll pay for it. I'm like, 15-year-old, you're like, yeah, that sounds fun. Yeah, no, it sounds fun right now. Yeah.

So, you know, I started taking flying lessons. It stuck. Yeah. Now, when you were doing that, were you flying small, like prop planes? Yeah, just a single engine. Yeah. A little trainer aircraft. Okay.

And you have to be 17 to get your private pilot's license. So I got it on my 17th birthday. Okay, that's cool. And then went to Henderson, did four years there. Four years of college, of course, but was it pertaining to air? Yeah, they have an aviation program. Really? So I finished out

all my degrees and all my ratings so you learned basically to fly a plane in college not practically but just from a an education standpoint yeah and there's there's a bunch of uh ratings you got to get before you can get the airline job so you get all those in college and you learn you learn the fundamentals of so when you graduated college did you immediately go to united or did you go to you know bob's puddle jumpers first did you i mean how did that work i got i got lucky because at the time this was 2004 it was right at the beginning of a hiring boom okay so i went to express jet which was a wholly owned subsidiary of continental at the time okay and so it was you got hired there you had you were at express jet flying the regional but you had a seniority

number at continental and then they merged with united 10 years later i said to hell with this so you know you've seen the movie catch me if You Can. Yeah. So based on that, if I believe that, all the stewardesses love the pilots. Is that, do the stewardesses all try to. I'm sorry, flight attendants, my apologies, ladies and gentlemen. Do they really, are they all trying to, you know, is it to plant their flag with the pilot? Not the ones that you want to. It's Matilda. matilda wants to yeah she's 72 she's about to retire and she's got an extra drink for you yeah yeah yes she does yeah that's great that's great that yeah when or at least when i was there the uh were passengers i mean did you find that when you're when people find out or you're wearing

your uniform were they were the ladies coming at you because you know part and parcel to the uniform or not not so much no no everybody thinks they're gonna get a free ride well you're gonna get a free ride all right uh okay i've said you didn't really take advantage of it leverage it no not really line them up no i mean to be fair i was married most of the time oh that doesn't make a difference yeah that makes a difference you know that battle axe i was married to wouldn't let me have a girlfriend no i can understand she was opposed to a sneaky link like if it happens in the air it's not even real honey exactly you know that doesn't even count it's not on earth exactly okay did you join the mile hackley no i actually never did come on man you're a pilot i never did flying the plane patrick exactly exactly my point you're flying the plane i don't want the pilot you're supposed to be the first

one taken care of i don't want him stepping away from the control who said he had to step away i mean how big is the cockpit depends on the air hey it's not your business oh never mind i thought you were being a little forward there and then i heard the rest of it i'm sorry it didn't play out the same way uh yeah no that had to be fascinating though the first time that you you know you you flew one of the big commercial jets were you just nervous out of your gourd as far as being in the airplane though because we go through such intensive training before okay the simulators that we train in are it's exactly like the airplane really like you other than the the shitty graphics on the screen on the 8-bit screens in front of you like all the instrument like the

the instrument panel everything is an exact replica of the air of the airplane so do you do you really look out the window when you're flying or are you just really instrumentation mainly it's autopilot yeah for takeoff and landings you're looking outside yeah but otherwise mainly it's autopilot for the most part yeah it's autopilot now what about uh any tricky landings that you ever had difficult landing yeah all the time really all the time yeah because airlines aren't like oh the weather's less than optimal yeah we should let's just let's hold off a little bit they're like no get your ass there yeah so yeah so what was maybe you know one of them that was uh a little nerve-wracking to you um the top one was i don't remember what year this was mid 2010s was this big, big snowstorm that was moving across the U.S.

You know, shut down the eastern seaboard for like two weeks or something. Yeah. You remember that one? Yes. The day before it was in Dayton, Ohio. And guess who was flying to Dayton, Ohio? That'd be you. That would be me.

Yeah. Yeah. And so you had to land in the snow and all that. Yes, this blizzard of snow and crap and everything and land in it and then it was like six feet of snow on the ground we're trying to plow through to get to the gate wow that had to be really nerve-wracking it was not fun no i do not enjoy winter weather no i can't imagine that uh anything like that would be enjoyable did you ever have birds that hit you or anything? Yeah. Normally, they don't cause that much damage.

It's usually the smaller, like sparrows or whatever. The non-important birds. Yeah, and they bounce off. Yeah. They bounce off? Yeah. Off of what? The airplane. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. they bounce off off of what airplane oh okay yeah yeah i know i know i used to have a glass

window on the back of my house and birds would fly into that and die yeah so i have to assume they just fly into the plane and die oh yeah they they die pretty quickly yeah okay yeah and i mean hitting the bigger birds like well they're pretty dumb if they don't see you anyway yeah i mean honestly they should die but you know hitting hitting. I mean, honestly, they should die. But, you know, hitting a bigger bird like they did in New York with the miracle in the Hudson. Yeah. That's pretty rare. Okay.

Yeah, because you see that sometimes in the disaster movies where it's always like a big flock of birds that come into the plane. And that's a weird thing. It does happen, but it's not common is that what happened in the one where sully sullenberger yeah that's what you're talking about right it's like geese or something and that's what caused all the problem yeah it went through the few of them went through the engine blamed him out where he had to land on the river or whatever it was yeah and he was held a hero for that yeah was he a hero for that yeah yeah yeah that was hard to do you think yeah because

this whole time everybody's like yeah if we land in the water we're dead and now you actually have to land in the water now oh really yeah because of that yeah it can be done now so okay that's wild so everybody just thought you can't do that and then he did it and i didn't realize that yeah okay so would that change now to the same over an ocean i mean the same way you would try to land on the water there too yeah that's wild for a while well anything close for a second almost you know i mean yeah the wings are mostly hollow yeah and sealed so that you know there's a lot of air just when they break off it becomes a big problem then it takes in water yeah yeah goes down yeah the problem with landing on the on the water is like when you're

hitting the water that fast it's like concrete yeah it you know if it's not just right it's just gonna rip the airplane apart yeah did you ever have a co-pilot you didn't like? All the time. So what causes a co-pilot you don't like? They talk too much? I just, I mean, you know, there's some of those, yeah. But you know the stereotypical arrogant pilot? Yeah, those guys.

Those guys, yeah. Man, i had one guy that he'd been at the airline for a month and was already planning his life as a senior captain on the triple seven like dude you got about 30 years settle down yeah so when you start because there are different size commercial liners is that the biggest that the biggest, a 777 or whatever? What's the biggest? An Airbus A10? A380. Okay.

Airbus A380 is the biggest one right now. Okay. Now, do you graduate to different sizes or do you just fly whatever? Just whatever. It just depends. Like, you know, at my airline, we only had the one airplane. Okay. That's what I flew.

But, you know, you go to American or had the one airplane okay that's what i flew but if you go you know you go to like american or whatever and they've got all the airplanes it's just a matter of you bid you bid what you fly based on your seniority okay and whatever you can hold so now do different jobs pay more yeah really yeah the bigger airplanes you get more money okay because just because it's bigger it's bigger and longer routes okay and yeah so yeah yeah we know what's on your mind um so the uh when when you're doing you know these kind of flights um and now i lost my question thinking about what you're saying no you're good you're good um

you know you were saying they're bigger the longer flight so how long were you typically out as a pilot i mean how long before you come back home off off duty well at the end of my tenure is one of the reasons why i quit was uh generally about five days six days i was gone come home long enough to uh do laundry yeah and then leave again yeah and i assume you they just put you up in the hotel they have cooperative deals there where you stay at a hotel it was a hotel every night yeah yeah yeah now it it does get old you know a lot of people don't think about like when you stand up comedy and that's where you spend most of your time actually in a hotel uh unless you're just walking around the town you're in you know and it does get kind of

miserable after a while so now that you're done with that do you have an aversion to staying in hotels and motels no okay but he is but he is afraid of flying what's the coolest place you've ever flown to? Coolest place? I don't know. A lot of the airports in Mexico are pretty fun to fly into. Yeah. Because they're in mountains.

You've got to kind of do a kind of a intricate little approach to get in there i've seen the one and i don't know exactly where it is i'm sure you do uh but there's that one place where it's so difficult to land because of the air currents that you always see people there it's the crazy landings have you ever had to face winds like that to land in yeah all the time that's got to be the most frightening thing because i think about just you know uh sliding in my car you know just sliding on a little ice much less than a giant airplane with 200 people on board if you do it all day every day it's just what you do just what you yeah see that's what a baller would say it's just what you do right just what you do man okay so it's like so nonchalant so it had the

weather would have to be really really bad i see yeah okay all right do you ever miss it no not at all one day i didn't i didn't uh no detect that you did no no no you you enjoy what you do i miss i miss the travel yeah because i was able to just i wanted to go wherever just go to the airport go and i would say you work less now but you don't no it's it's different yeah it's different it's better but no i don't work you are enjoying what you're doing though yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you have fun with beer. And I do what I want, basically, because I'm my own boss. So if I want to not go to work on Monday morning and come hang out here. Right.

No, you could do that. I can do that. Yeah, no, that's cool. That's cool. All right, let me circle back here.

It's the worst news you could ever hear Things just like this make you fear Lying lunched on a dumb guy's knee Or a big hard fuck drowning somebody Why you laughing? Why you laughing? This shit ain't funny Well, it might be. I don't know. A Mexican actress is dead after voluntarily participating in a spiritual cleansing ritual

during which she consumed poisonous Amazonian frog venom. Marcella Rodriguez, 33, took some of it as part of a spiritual cleansing that some South American natives have used. She started throwing up, had severe diarrhea. I'm glad they shared that. She first refused help while feeling ill ill but eventually gave in when her friend visited her and uh her condition had worsened the production company said she was a beloved colleague and friend with deep regret we mourn the death of our beloved colleague uh so i'm i'm guessing that uh it was a little too much poison yeah she shat herself to death that's a bad way to go to be

honest with you i mean that stuff is no joke yeah now i i don't think i want to go try any frog venom once the venom did you really yeah i did it once in the amazon no hot springs village like dmt no it was combo and um it was tree tree fog venom it's probably the same stuff but um it was part of part of the spiritual you know during covid i got really into you know some gathering type stuff i would like to try the the uh what is it ayahuasca ayahuasca not ayahuasca ayahuasca yeah that ayahuasca which dmt i, is the short version of that. I guess it's like a synthetic version. Yeah.

I have to find my photo, but yeah, there's a photo of me, and I'm all swollen up from the venom. That's great. That's great. I didn't shit myself, though. No, I did not shit myself. That's great. That's important.

Or at all. Health officials continue to monitor an outbreak of Marburg virus known as bleeding eye virus uh it's sparking concerns about a potential spread worldwide the u.s department state department issued a travel advisory saying hey if you're going to rwanda no for vacation look out uh travelers may be subject to additional health screenings but similar to ebola marburg is a rare but viral hemorrhagic fever that's deadly it has a what's his a 20 to 90 fatality rate that's a broad spread narrow that down a little bit seriously uh the first case confirmed in september they've had 66 cases, 15 deaths, most of the infected people, healthcare workers. But yeah, the symptoms normally mimic the flu, but apparently you also begin to have bleeding of the eyes, nose, mouth, just pretty much everywhere.

Yeah, you start bleeding. That's always one of the insides anal don't you think it's good stuff if anal leakage is a side effect yeah no it's a drug you want yeah yeah can I sauce my pants I can a Canadian man and I see, this is a guy who really, really loves his significant other. And I have to ask you, do you love your significant other this much? A Canadian man leaped to the defense of his wife after a polar bear lunged toward her in a dramatic ambush in Ontario. Sorry, babe. I knew that was coming. I mean, I can't beat a bear.

I mean, I tried. According to the Nishnawabi ASCII police services, the unidentified couple left their house at 5 a.m. They were met in the driveway by, quote, a feisty polar bear. Yeah, I bet. Who lunged at the woman. They said the fast-moving man jumped onto the bear to prevent the attack the woman slipped to the ground as her husband uh leaped onto the animal

to prevent the attack the bear then attacked him causing serious but non-life-threatening injuries to his arm and legs a neighbor arrived with a gun and shot the bear several times it retreated into the woods and of course died and then the wife divorces him a week later yeah right right now he's definitely divorced no he jumped on the Bears back would you would you would you do that for your lady there and jump on the Bears back I don't know that that would be in my playbook yeah I don't know either I'm just saying what about yourself you if you were married and and liked him would you jump on the bear's back um yeah that's what i thought yeah most people are like you know i just had you know i mean i'm sorry it's me or you you know i was running for a gun

i'm in the middle of a divorce yeah she would be like oh no you clearly wouldn't on that one i would be petting the bear yeah he's like yeah you want some honey on it again i'm a white woman so i know that i could make friends with that bear yes of course you could it would be my bestie we would be wearing matching sweaters. No, that is. Going for a pup cup. I mean. No, that all makes perfect sense. I agree with you. Yeah.

Your whiteness will prevail. Well, I've told you about the guy that I follow. There's this guy that does videos, voiceover videos of these women. And they're white women that are coming up on bears. Oh, these dumb bitches. And bobcats and wombats and all this stuff. No, no, they're saving them.

Nothing's happening to them. He's like, white women ain't scared of shit. And I was like, they are. But not animals. Anybody who gets out and tries to get a selfie with an elk or a bear deserves the bison. That's hilarious, man.

Wendy, why is your husband on his own? Your husband's on his own with a bear. I thought you said he was on his way with a bear. I was like, does he get a Christmas, like Christmas present? As it said, I don't have to outrun the bear. I just have to outrun you. So Patrick. Yes. Oh, I would absolutely jump on outrun the bear. I just have to outrun you. So Patrick. Yes.

Oh, I would absolutely jump on the bear's back. Are you kidding me? We need that. I'd be more inclined to be the guy with the gun. Yeah. I'm fighting the bear. And that's why they're getting the divorce is because she's having an affair with the guy that had the gun because he was smart.

Yeah, probably true. Yeah. A good guy. Speaking of good guys with a gun, a good guy with a gun took care of business against two people who tried to rob a convenience store and threatened him with a firearm in New Orleans. Well, that's pretty normal. Louisiana reported the incident happening. The store employee said that two people walked in with guns, demanded cash.

The suspects, 16-year-old Cecil Batiz, 18-year-old Tioni Juarez. They obtained video footage showing they start with Batiz and Juarez walking into the store, one of them pointing a weapon in the clerk's face. The employee hands over the cash, and the gun-wielding perp saunters around the store with his partner in crime. Apparently, the clerk still felt threatened, grabbed a firearm, and opened fire on one of the suspects who fell to the floor. The employee then jumps over the counter, starts firing at the other. They were transported to a local hospital. One of them died and the other one didn't, but he'll now be in prison.

So, yeah, unfortunately, you come in swinging a gun at somebody, you could get smoked. I mean, that's just the rule of life right there. Don't be a dumbass. F-A-F-O. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, mess around and find out. And finally, we'll do this one. A 15-year-old suspect charged with killing all but one of his family members in their Washington State Lakefront home in October.

His defense team recently denied accusations that they altered the crime scene, but authorities discovered the bodies of two adults, three kids at the house. They immediately took the 15-year-old into custody. They identified the victims Mark Herniston, 43, Sarah, 42, the kids Ben, 13, Josh, 9, Kate, 7. A judge prohibited the media's release of the suspect's identity, but the 11-year-old sister survived the attack. Said she closed her eyes, held her breath, and pretended to be dead, then escaped through a fire window in her bedroom. Several members of the suspect's defense team were granted a 10-hour window to take pictures and conduct 3D scans, but last month prosecutors alleged the evidence that the teen suspect's defense team said that they exceeded what was permitted. So they're arguing back and forth about that, but prosecutors said they documented the home before and after the defense's

team, and they alleged that a bottle of Clorox wipes from the home was missing and backpacks belonging to the victims were opened or moved. So there's some evidence issues going on here. But that's just crazy that, I mean, what's going on with a 15-year-old that, I mean, everybody? It's the red dye 40. Right? Yeah, I don't think it's the red dye

i had plenty of that no i had plenty of it you had the old school red dye yeah yeah yeah and i did i snorted it i didn't smoke it so that's different you know i never shot up the dye anything like that let's move on shall we Let's move on, shall we?
