Are they, uh, they seem pretty sure about it. They do, but that just makes me have less faith in them. No, I don't think it's going to snow a bit. No, I mean, normally that's what happens.

They'll say that and then it doesn't. Hey, I like that hat, man. Yeah. That's a New York Jets. Yeah. Go Jets. I mean, they had absolutely horrible this season, but hey, they won. Uh, they won the last game against Miami.

I think it'll be Detroit and Kansas City. Man, the Bills have choked so many times, man. I mean, they're just choke artists. I just don't think- Well, do you? It's hard to believe in them. New England I can't believe they got beat by New England last week. Oh right right. New England's horrible this year. No they are who was it that Kansas you know put their third string in against the last game there you know

that game was so heavy I'm like man you beat their cheerleaders what are you talking about man. It was Denver. Yeah that's who it was Denver. Yeah the Broncos. Well, I mean they killed the third spring out there, you know, the clipboard squad. Right, right. That's who they took out man, you know. All right. What's been going on with your holidays man? It was good? Oh man, it was a good holiday. Yeah. Nice Christmas. Kido got a Power Wheels Jeep for Christmas.

So he's been driving me crazy with that. Oh yeah. Yeah, it's one of those ones that... Driving all over making lots of noise. Oh yeah, and it can hook up to Bluetooth to your phone or whatever. So he'll do that and start playing music on it. Yeah, that's great. Yeah. He knows how to Bluetooth. Oh yeah. How old is he? Six. Oh God. Man, that's crazy. Isn't that when you think about it? How about you, Bundy? Man, you have a good one.

Yeah, good holiday. We didn't do nothing too exciting for New Year's. Just went to the Whitewater Tavern. Yeah. Yeah. Checked out their cart. Karaoke night. Played some pool. Oh, that's nice. That's a good night though. Barely made it to midnight. Yeah. No, we did too, man. We barely made it to midnight and then we said, yeah, I'm going to sleep. I didn't even make it. I made it to 11 and then we said yeah I'm going to sleep. I made it to 11 and I was like I was a kid that was the big thing is yeah you want to stay up as long as you can now I'm like now I need to get up tomorrow at some point. I'm just trying to get to midnight. Yeah that's it. Let's get into

this some news and whatnot United Airlines is gonna launch its first commercial flight with Starlink Wi-Fi this spring. Oh cool yeah, it's accelerating its timeline for the new Internet service, which is part of Elon Musk's SpaceX. They plan to have its entire two cabin fleet use Starlink by the end of the year. The satellite based Wi-Fi will be free for members of whatever their programs are. Busty Costco recalling some of its cold and flu medication. It's labeled its Kirkland Signature Severe Cold and Flu Plus Congestion Caplets. They say the recall is due to possible foreign material contamination.

Yeah, you don't want that. It's bad to get. Let's see. Five Snowplows in Madison, Wisconsin, need names. They'll be asking everyone to put their submissions in. The department said silly and punny names with references to pop cultures preferred. Last year, one plow was dubbed Dolly Plouton submissions. That doesn't matter.

Hey, check this out. Kate Beckinsdale and Matt Reif were seen hooking up at an after party for the Golden Globe. Oh, I hate him even more now. Listen man, Kate Beckinsdale, there's nothing she likes better than a young single dude. She will run to it man. Because Pete Davidson, he came back to her. Yeah, Pete Davidson hooked up with that. Yeah, and I'm like, man, she likes to do it. She likes to get it in. More than 50 million people in the US remain under winter weather alerts as of late yesterday afternoon. Obviously, the Arctic air mass moving through the country brought a lot of cold temperature, heavy snow, freezing rain, road closures. As of yesterday, nine fatalities have been attributed to storm systems, two in Missouri,

two in Kansas, three in Virginia, one in North Carolina, one in West Virginia. All of them were related to car crashes. They weren't just freezing to death out there. Be careful out there. Be careful on the roads. Over 2,000 flights canceled yesterday. Yeah, if you don't have to get out in it, don't get out in it. I mean, really, it doesn't feel good. It's not nice.

A joint session of Congress officially certified the electoral college vote count yesterday afternoon with no objections. 312 votes for Trump and 226 for Kamala Harris. Newly elected Andy Kim of New Jersey said that January 6 should be an unremarkable day. House Minority Leader reposted his statement, there are no election deniers on our side of the aisle. Well, congratulations. Let's see.

Hey, this is wild. Kind of unexpected, but interesting for sure. Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada, announced he's resigning as the Liberal Party leader and Prime Minister. His resignation will go into effect once his party's chosen a new leader. Now that process could take months. Their parliament is paused until a new leader is selected and set to resume no sooner than March 24th. Trudeau took over in 2015. Um, and of course he's been kind of going back and forth with the

president elect Trump a little bit. Yeah. They, he keeps saying he wants to adopt Canada as the new first state. Yeah. I don't think they're going to do that. I feel like he's copying our style. Like no, our liberal president step down for copy us, right. I kind of copy us, dude. Yeah, maybe so.

Uh, over 400 people around the world have died from an HSN one infection. That's known as bird flu. And now the first person in the U S as that person in Louisiana confirmed to be the first death in the U S was over 65 at multiple underlying medical issues and had been in contact with sick and dying birds in a backyard flock. So yeah, if you're really sickly and you're hanging out with chickens, you might have a problem. Let's see. When President Biden commuted the death sentences of 37 inmates on death row,

he probably wasn't expecting anybody to say no, of 37 inmates on death row. He probably wasn't expecting anybody to say no, but two of the prisoners did exactly that. Shannon Agofsky and Lynn Davis filed emergency motions in court to get an injunction to block the commutation of their death sentences. The reason being is they're trying to appeal their case and that would be problematic legally for them.

The Jefferson County deputies called out Friday afternoon in Missouri on a report of something strange going on. It wasn't an exaggeration. When the deputies arrived, they found a spider monkey wearing a pink tutu running around. The monkey is staying at a nearby home, somehow managed to get a door open and wander off.

Luckily, deputies were able to make friends with the monkey and get it back home. I would have ran away, too, if you're dressing me up. Yeah, what are you doing with that monkey at 2-2, man? I'm gonna save that for later. Let's see. Oh, this is cool. While remodeling the bathroom of his parents' home in Lombard, Illinois, Tim King discovered a decades-old Christmas present hidden behind the drywall. The present was wrapped in paper, it had his name on it. He thinks it fell into the wall decades ago as his parents used the attic to store holiday presents. The home was actually built by his great grandparents

and has been in the family for three generations. That's pretty cool. Yeah, that's dope. When he opened it, by the way, he found a matchbox set of Thunder Jets. A toy he described as perfect for his six a six year old self back in 1978. That's cool. Probably get something out of it.

It's probably worth something now. I would think so. Yeah. L on opened, especially, um, man, I hope this isn't true. Will Smith shared a cryptic post to social media that has fans thinking he may be joining a new matrix movie. He, uh, his post calls out the fact that back in the day he was offered the role of Neo but turned it down for Wild Wild West. Epic fail. Smart decision.

People have wondered what those movies would have been like with him in the role instead of... No they haven't. No they haven't. Nobody's ever wondered. Never once in my life was I watching those and watching Keanu kick ass and be like, man, I wish Will Smith would just come slap someone. I wish that was a fresh Prince of Bel Air. No, I'm not even certain that, you know, I mean, Keanu Reeves took a lot of martial arts. I mean, a whole lot of martial arts. He really learned it.

And that's why he made a bunch of other movies like John Wick and stuff, because he did learn that. Will Smith wouldn't do it no, no, man. You can't joke your way out of the matrix, bro. But he said his. Post said, wake up. Will the matrix has you? Uh, but before anyone gets too excited, uh, he said his teasers are related to a music project, we'll see, but I hope he's not in the matrix.

No, I do. We don't need that. Let's see. Let's get to some sports. The day after the end of the NFL regular seasons, traditionally known as Black Friday, where coaches underperforming, find their fate and start looking for new kicks. Certainly more changes to come. But a few highlights after a 4-in-13 campaign, the Jags fired Doug Peterson in the most predictable move. The owner said it's going to be a complete overhaul. Despite having the league leading quarterback wide receiver and defensive end, the Bengals still missed the playoffs as punishment. They axed the defensive coordinator, Lou Anna Rumo, as well as their offensive line, defensive line and lineback coaches. Uh, surprisingly after a team worse three and 14, the giants opted to retain the service of head coach Brian DeBole.

Ownership did make it a point to say they're running out of patients. Yeah. Three and 14. I can't believe you still got to say what was the goals. I mean, I don't know, man, but you can just go win one just when you're out the Eagles hoping for a longer playoff run than last season they secured the two spot in NFC and will host the Green Bay Packers in the wild card round this weekend One big question is what about Jalen hurts?

The quarterback remains in concussion protocol two weeks after suffering the injury during the loss to the commanders on the road. And the head coach broke the news to reporters on Monday, which leaves him availability kind of up in the air. So that's not what you want to have if you are a fan of that team and them getting past the Packers. But if Jalen Hurts is healthy, they should easily get past the Packers. I think so. Yeah.

Gino Smith led the Seahawks to their first 10-win season in four years. And despite missing the postseason, he was able to leave week 18 a bit richer. He entered the game against the Rams on Sunday with a shot of earning six million bucks thanks to three contract escalators. You got two million each if Seattle picked up a tenth win and finished the season with at least 4282 passing yards and a completion percentage of almost 70% or better and he did, you know, so he got himself a little six million dollar bonus even without the playoffs.

That's all right. Yeah, he did better than I did. Yeah, that's for sure. And you were talking about the J earlier and I, I certainly would, would love to hear your take on this, but, uh, of course, Aaron Rogers threw four TD passes, helped the jets beat the dolphins, uh, you know, killed their playoff hopes 32 to 20, uh, may have been the 41 year old quarterbacks final game in that role as, uh, they're now talking about sending him over to the Tennessee Titans, hadn't heard Tennessee. Yeah.

Yeah. The Titans is the name that has been floated out there a lot and maybe trading him over there, but what do you think about that? Man? Uh, I don't know. It's hard to say he hadn't really said a whole lot himself. You know, they pressed him in the press conference yesterday about it. And he was like, you know, it could have been my, my last NFL game, or it could

have been my last game as a jet, or it could just be my last game in the season. And I'll be back here next year. You know, we'll see. So he doesn't know really. Yeah. He doesn't know. I was a fan of course, I'm like, please keep him, you know, do whatever you got to do. But he didn't have a great year.

No, no, he didn't. I mean, it wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great. No, it wasn't great. And really, I think a lot of that's to do with the O line on the Jets. But, and you know, Woody Johnson, the owner, he's about to be on Trump's cabinet here. Oh, is he? Yeah. So that's another thing I think has made it convoluted is Woody Johnson's kids are going to supposedly take over. Oh, they're going to be wearing it. Whether Aaron's like, yeah, I'm not playing with the kids, man. These new bucks aren't going to be

telling me what to do. Yeah. But, uh, now it'll be interesting to see how it all shakes out. So you've been a Jets fan for your whole life? Uh, no, probably like the last seven years. Okay. What, uh, what made you become a Jets fan? Um, well, Peyton Manning retired. I really didn't have, uh, you didn't have a quarterback after that.

You know, I rooted for Brett Farber before. I've never really been a, a team. Yeah. You know, all the quarterback. Yeah. And I forget who the jets had when I started falling them. You know, Smith now, honestly, I think the first year I started really rooting for the jets, I think was the year they brought T-bo in for four games.

Yeah. Yeah. Um, but yeah. And also, uh, Gary Vaynerchuk, you know, he's a, his whole deal is he wants to buy the Jets. Oh yeah. He's a huge Jets fan. Yeah. See, I was a big TV 12 fan. I liked Tom and the Jets. Oh man. He did every time. Um, and I liked Brett Favre a lot. Yeah. Yeah. And Peyton Manning a lot. What do you think about the similarities between Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers going out?

You know, they both went to the Jets, both had horrible, horrible seasons with them. Didn't Aaron, I mean, didn't Brett also go to the Vikings? Yeah, I think he is last year was at Minnesota. There are very few times where you're going to leave a team and go to another one in the last minutes of your career and bag a Super Bowl. That magic's just not there anymore. Well, no. I mean, you had it put together, both of them, Aaron and Brett with the Packers. You know, you got that team dynamic for 10 years and then you had to go somewhere else. That's tough, man.

Yeah. You know, and Jordan Love does a good job of that. I like Jordan Love. You know, his consistency though, I've been, that's why I think. I don't know if he's that guy. Right. I don't know if he is or not. I like the kid. Like I think he's a good football player, but yeah, they just haven't been able to get it done when they need to every time this year.

No, they, they really haven't. Uh, they've looked pretty damn bad to be honest with you. Like you said, if, uh, Jaylen plays with the Eagles, I don't think they'll have any problem. Yeah. No, let's change it up a little bit here. Listen, if you're, uh, in need of a vehicle, uh, why don't you think about Fitz auto, uh, go over to 8421 stage coach road in need of a vehicle, why don't you think about Fitz Auto?

Go over to 8421 States Coast Road in Little Rock. Man, they've got some great vehicles right now. They have good low mileage vehicles, late models, whether you want a pickup truck, a minivan, a sports car, a sedan, it doesn't matter, SUV. They even have campers, ATVsVs motorcycles doesn't matter what you want they got it there for you so go check them out you can also go to Fitzauto.com you see all their inventory all their prices everything is right there you can even get pre-qualified without getting a credit hit which is pretty cool so go

over and check that out so you guys weren't here yesterday to benefit from a really great report that we got in. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We had and we went over it pretty thoroughly, but it's the 2024 what people had stuck in their ass in the ER report. And we went down an amazing list of items that people got stuck into their backside. But the good news for you is you have shown up on a great day where that we do have a look back at 2024's data from the ERs about what was pulled out of our junk. No.

Yeah. And I'm talking about man junk, by the way. Yeah. I didn't know things got stuck down This data comes from a list of things medical professionals had to pull out of the penises of patients in 2024 I'm already like tensing up over. Yeah. Yeah, I'm ready. I start with an air pod Maybe you wanted to hear it makes me you wanted to hear it different. A pen cap. A coffee stirrer. A screw. What are people doing? Are these by accident? This is on purpose?

Have you ever accidentally got anything in your penis? Honestly, anything at all. No, you haven't ever. This never happened. Paperclip, 4 inch metal tube. That was oddly specific. This one says, took a piece of plastic coated paper from a milk container, rolled it tightly, wrapped it with tape to the size greater than a crayon, and inserted it as far as he could several hours ago. What are you doing? Why? Why? Are you just that bored? Have you got nothing to do? I wonder what it would feel like if I shove this in.

No, of course it doesn't. What do you mean? The handle of a plastic spoon, a plastic fork, the handle of a plastic spoon, a plastic fork, glue. You were trying to glue it? You didn't want to pee anymore? What? Uh, rolled up magazine page, a ring from a Powerade bottle, a domino. Okay, now that's a tough one right there. A domino.

A domino, bro. You gotta be packing to show a domino. That's a lot of space in there, man. I don't know how you do that. A brick door? A phone charging cable and a thermometer. Yeah, that's where you check your thermometer right there. Yeah, that's where you check the temperature, right?

So apparently this is a thing. What is? This shoving things into your... It's like a... Into your junk hole? It's like a kink. Really? He knows nothing about it.

No, I don't! I just look. My Google search history has become so weird since being on this podcast. Yeah, no, it will. That's for sure. I used to have to explain things. Yeah, I'm going to be looking at certain things that may not be corporately friendly. You gotta call your take guy. Like, look, don't flame me for this. Yeah, please don though, man. Yeah.

Apparently it's called your urethral sounding. Is the thing. And you know, there's something for everyone in there. I mean, I mean, are you a urethral sounder out there? Is that your thing? You wait till Friday, five o'clock driving home thinking, man, I'm gonna shove this pen right up my junk, man. I'm gonna put this Mont Blanc all the way in there. My wife gives me shit all the

time because I tell like just even the thought of a catheter. Oh God. If something ever happens they got to use a catheter. No, don't put me to sleep. Put me down. Put me down. I can't do it. Yeah some people do it for themselves. Oh I can't do it. Yeah. Some people do it for themselves. Oh, I can't do it. Yeah. Yeah. That's the thought of it makes my head hurt. Yeah. No, definitely.

Any, anything that goes in that orifice is not feeling good to me. I had a friend of mine who went to the free clinic and he thought he had an STD. And so they went to test him and the lady came up and she said, I'm just going to get a quick swab and said before, before he she grabbed his stretch and took a long Q tip went yeah didn't even tell him nothing course would you let her if you did you know no that's probably one of the things you don't want to give events no to three no you're not gonna be ready for it no there's no ready for that I would leave I'd be like no I just, just give me the medicine. I'm good.

I know if my wife is watching, she's eating it up because just even talking about the shit like it just, oh, yeah. No, it's so weird that, uh, what the things that, uh, you know, get people's jollies. You know, I mean, how do you get to putting something in an orifice that doesn't belong there? Right. You know, exit only. Well, I mean for some apparently, right?

I mean, others are using it like a storage pouch. Like a little, you get your boom flag. Like an old guy. You know, that'd be hilarious. Yeah. A little thing. It'd be great, man. It'd be great.

Speaking of getting slammed through the table, we ain't forgot about you, Rich. I tried to bring a table up here. Everybody saw that picture that you, uh, you texted me yesterday.

I, it's not going to work out for you this time, big dog. You know, that's, that's got to feel like he may as well have walked out in an NWO shirt. That would have been the better ploy. Yeah, no, I did. It sounds like it was not a good, I I'm surprised to hear that. I guess. I mean, I didn't know. I thought that, you know, everybody was so excited.

He came back. Well, I mean, he was in Little Rock a few weeks ago and I was stoked. They were getting pictures. Remember this event took place in Los Angeles, California. You know, Hulk Hogan, wrestling fan though. I mean, I mean, some people, you know, he's controversial things. I'm not going to sit here and defend any of that whatsoever. But I do think, you know, that, you know, I mean, how long ago was it?

I mean, do you give a person a chance to change and evolve and become a better human and grow and reflect from it? I mean, how many years away from it has it been? Are they still holding on to that? I will say, I feel like Hogan was the most gimmicky thing of the whole show. Oh yeah. I mean, he got out there and came out to promote the beer. Yeah.

I promoted his beer and I mean, read off a, you know, prompter, what Netflix wanted me to say, and it was like, I don't know if that was the reason for the booze or just a natural reaction. Like, no, we don't like Hogan. We don't mess with him anymore. Like, but it was interesting. It wasn't really until this morning that people started you know commenting on my Facebook and because I had posted a little thing about the show you know and that I you know knew of the political aspect of it

between California and how they feel about Hulk Hogan. I thought it was because he came out and did the whole shameless plug thing. Right right. I mean it was they were booing so loud. They had to like, you know, mute the crowd sound. Yeah. Wow. That's, that's tough. That's gotta be tough, man.

To walk out in a big stadium like that and just say everybody hate your gut. 17,000 people. No, I'm sure he's been there before. I mean, he's played the heels, so he gets it, but it, you know, it's gotta be a little personal. Yeah, I'm sure. Uh, let's see to be a little personal. Yeah. I'm sure let's see What are people saying?

Pump man 501 say good morning people's what's up, man? Mike said good morning fellas. What's up? Good morning, Latasha Carrie said dog titty Sean said morning. What's up, man? And Lindsey say good morning. Good morning to all of you and thank you for being here and listening and all that We appreciate it on the Facebook feed Darren Riggins said what up fam? Cheers. Yeah man, Darren man him and his band Death Metal Disco. I got to introduce them at Tiki Fingers the other night. Hell of a show man. Just a hell of a show man. People just man they packed it out. It was standing room only and they went nuts. I mean they just the guys in the band though they've been staple members of

the local music scene for years here and they're really super well respected by other bands and so you had a lot of I bet there were eight different bands that showed up to support them just because they respect them so much as musicians nice you know and that's cool awesome to support them just because they respect them so much as musicians. Nice. You know, and that's cool. Awesome. That's really cool. That's always cool to see.

Drew Allen says good morning. So good morning, Drew. Also in Death Metal Disco. And Michael Glover, he's from Dad's After Dark. Yeah, what's up, Mike? He's tuning in and listening. So what's up? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I caught their show last night and it was good, man. Good. I know you and I are going to try and make it on there here soon. Yeah, next couple Mondays we'll be on Dad's After Dark. Hang out there with them and cut up and have a little good time. You had a question too on here. They said, um, they're somebody was it only Zeus says I'm just asking if you need a video editor at all for like your live stream podcast turning content. I didn't know if you're Yeah, man. Any help or what? Absolutely, man. Reach out to us for sure. You can email me Patrick at Patrick and

the people dot com. Yeah we'd love to have somebody that you know was hands-on doing stuff like that for us. You know right now it's it's pretty skeletal it's Gunnar and myself and Brandon behind the scenes doing all of those things so yeah absolutely please message us up. Hit me with an email. Hit me on Facebook Messenger, whatever. And yeah, I'd love to talk to you about it. It'd be great. Awesome. Man, I'll tell you what, I had a great Christmas and New Year's. I think the thing I'm looking the most forward to is the kiddo goes back to school on Wednesday. Man, you said something that I did not know, which is that they um, that they've converted now in hot springs, at least two year round school.

Yeah. And in the hot spring school district, Tommy Pingo, dirty bastard. I am not a fan. I am, of course it would be like the schedule, this whole, so they go to school for six weeks and then they get a week off and then they go to school for six weeks and then a week a week off and then they go to school for six weeks and then a week off. What is the benefit of this? What do they expect the parents to do for the week off that they get every six weeks?

I mean, lucky for me, and again, I always say this, I'm blessed and grateful to be able to work from home. That's so nice. I guess I'm trying to figure out what the benefit is. Now I know what someone might say. Well, we're so behind educationally. Yeah, but you know what? Let me tell you something. We went to school for, I don't know, seven hours a day when

I was a kid and everybody came out reading, writing and doing math, you know, and maybe if we get back to reading, writing and doing math instead of, you know, talking about everyone's feelings and their genders, whatever else the hell is going on. Maybe if we just learn reading, writing and math, but yesterday at a story, you may have seen it in New Jersey, and this is 100% true. They literally passed a law there where that teachers in New Jersey no longer required to pass a basic writing, reading and math test. Right. Oh shit.

Yeah. Think about that. So what are they teaching? What are they teaching? I guess it doesn't matter if you're teaching. I don't know what they're teaching there, man. I don't know what the hell's going on, but I'm telling you, in the next 10 to 20 years, it's all going to go online. It's all going to be home based, man. Because you can't, I mean, think about that. You're going to hire teachers that can't pass a basic reading, writing, and math rest.

Right. And they said it's because it's a, you know, uh, causing hiring problems. I'm like, uh, well then go somewhere else. Right. I'm sure. Find other people, pay more, do something. Oh, you know, that's crazy to me. More attractive to be a teacher.

How about, I mean, I don't know, man. I've, I'm not. They deserve it. Really? Like, no, of course, they anybody deserves if there's any occupation out there that deserves to have some eyes put on it and figure out how to make it absolutely more worth it and attractive. I say it's teaching. Yeah, I think you're going to end up with a handful of teachers and then people doing large internet courses. Right. What's going to happen?

It'll be so anything instead of like school of of choice we'll go to teacher of choice? Maybe. I mean you probably pick your unit curriculum as long as it matches up with whatever they got to do. Just take them at home you know just got to figure out. Or they could even they could even do it still use the school but use the digital learning. Where the teacher's not in the class itself. But didn't we try that during COVID? This was sold to me as this is being done to combat all that happened during COVID and

everybody falling behind. It's not going to combat it. I mean, it's not. You know what will combat it is getting back to basic education things that actually make sense instead of questioning everything in the world. When you, you know, you introduce common core and you go, Hey, you can't carry the one anymore. It's like, why are you talking about? It's always worked. Of course I'm going to carry the one you dumb ass, but you know, we outsmart ourselves.

Yeah, the common core, I'm not 100% familiar with it, but it just seems like, did Matt need extra work? Did Matt need extra work? Were we not already killing ourselves trying to figure out Matt? No, we were. It was already a struggle. Let's make this harder. Well, what they said is, well, you can't show your work when you carry the one.

Why don't need to? I have the right answer. Why do I need to show anything that works? It's fail proof, you know? Well, and speaking of new generations, ready or not, a new generation is here. Kids born between 2025 and 2039 are going to be part of Generation Beta. So here are some predictions for what they'll experience in their lifetime that's different than us. Now this report came from Prudential.

You know they're an insurance company, investment company, and they revealed the results of the survey of over 2,000 adults and what their thoughts are. So half of respondents believe cancer will be cured by Gen Beta. I don't think so. No. I think it's too lucrative of a business. I was just about to say foreign to cure. Unless they decide to allow cancer to be cured, it ain't being cured. Well, there's a lot of money in the treatment of diseases. It's hard for them to give you a cure. They don't like to very much, do they? Right. You know, the last time they did it was polio. Yeah. You know, everything else now you have to manage it. It never really goes away. Right? Yeah, exactly More than two-thirds 71 percent think gen beta will have access to

Individualized health care based on their DNA Hmm, that's an interesting thought. I mean it does make sense that We've learned a lot in the past especially 20 years years about, you know, how much impact DNA has because, you know, it was always weird to us that somebody who never drink would die of cirrhosis and someone who drinks a day would just keep going until they're old and that's all DNA. And so, you know, sometimes you can throw everything out the window of DNA, uh, as they're predisposed or not disposed to it.

And that's some of the first things that like a doctor will tell you nowadays is like get a DNA test to see what you are naturally deficient in. You might be taking these vitamins for shit that you don't need. Well, right. You know, I think that, and here's another thing too, that's pretty fascinating. Um, like, you know, antidepressants, the way they're prescribed, it's still very stupid. Uh, it's just trial in there.

Right. I don't know what to work for you. And you take it and you try it for a few weeks, see if it works and see if you get suicidal or, you know, whatever's going to happen. Because if you make it or you don't, yeah. Um, but you can literally, there's a, clinic, and I'm trying to remember where it is, but where they'll do a brain scan and it tells exactly what chemicals

your brain would respond to. And so you would know exactly what antidepressant that would be effective for someone. And so until we can- It's no guesswork. Yeah. And that's what we need to do is get that technology out more.

And I was gonna say, there's a doctor I know of that I heard of in Hot Springs that does something like, it's called like gene pool testing or whatever. But essentially they can take your blood and then look at the way like your enzymes break down in your liver or whatever and it'll tell them exactly like. I do think it's funny like us as a society we're finally like, oh yeah, we each need like specific individual needs. You can't just throw a blanket over it. It's like, man, that's a good idea.

Right? Right? Man, it's so surprising that that works. I mean, we're real close to some Star Trek shit, you know, where they have the medical device and they just scan you and tell you, you know, we're right there. We're right there. Right on the edge. Let's see.

Jen Beta will have jobs that haven't even been invented yet. According to 86% of people poll. Well, that probably makes sense. Someone's going to have to repair the robots and pick those and, you know, all the new technology that we don't even see around the curve for yet. And I'm sure that, I mean, think about just how far it's come in the past 20 years, just since you were a kid. How much has technology changed since you were a kid?

Oh man. I feel like I was born in 92 and I feel like I was born in such a weird time. Cause I got a bunch of the new stuff along with a bunch of the old stuff, but now home phones, CB radios, record players, tape players. Like I got all the old PCs. Yeah. Oh yeah. All that, but giant microwaves.

What about did you have, you didn't have VCRs then did you? Oh yeah. We have VCRs. Yeah. Oh yeah. All that. But giant microwaves. What about, did you have, you didn't have VCRs then did you? Oh yeah. We had VCRs. Yeah. I remember the transition from VCRs to where you could buy a VCR and DVD player. Yeah. That was the shit. If you had that, yeah. No, you were, you were pimpin'. Yeah. The VCR side always broke too. Yeah. Every single one. I love my mom but she sent me a DVD for Christmas. Me and my wife looked at it and said what are we gonna do with that? I don't have a DVD player. Yeah there's nothing in my house that will play. No I don't have a game. I don't have a system. I got nothing to play. I couldn't play a VCR or DVD. Nothing. Cassette. Yeah. I mean I guess I could put a CD in my car.

I think it still has for some reason a CD player. See, we bought a 2019 RAV4, no CD player. Yeah, none. But yeah, obviously the phone being the biggest technological difference. That's been a giant job. I remember my mother had a bag car phone. Oh yeah, the Airstrike phone. I remember that was fancy. We got a phone. Oh yeah. Yep. Airstrike phone. I remember that was fancy. Like we got a phone in the car.

No, that was cool. That was dope. We don't have to put a quarter in. No, you were pimping then. Yeah. And have you tried to use a pay phone in the past 10 years? Like none of them work.

I don't. Is there one? I don't even know there were any. Yeah, there's a few in Conway. None of them are in service. No, I can't imagine so. I mean, who uses a pay phone? For God's sake.

And how bad is it? I was stranded for gas, like five or seven years ago something like that For some reason didn't have a phone and you couldn't find a There's no worries pay phone right there and go Ain't nobody use no You're gonna do it. All right, let's see Yeah, no, no, no, go ahead man. Go ahead. What's he got rich? Oh, no, no, just a comment here Yeah, read it. Let me see

Let me go here. Brandon. Jack said he's already paying off generation master beta Oh, yeah, that's that's good, man. I see what you're saying there. I think I see what you did. Yeah Uh-huh. Uh, let's see. Uh, all right six and ten think the government will actually stop printing cash Because gin beta won't use it. Well, that doesn't surprise me. I mean, we're 95% cashless now. I was going to say, we're there. We're there.

I mean, I don't want it to go completely cashless, but something will replace it. I mean, you know, there's never going to be a time where people aren't going to have some form of currency on the side. Well, I was going to say it was a surprise to me, like when we've gone to the Travelers baseball games, it's a completely cashless facility. Oh yeah, we just went to Memphis for the Liberty Bowl, same way. A lot of places won't take it anymore, you're right. And it is wild, but you know, it makes me a little nervous because once they, they get you completely off cash, then they can say, well, some things we have to

control your spending. Oh yeah. You know, and let me ask you this though. It's like, um, I feel like generations before us probably said the same thing when they went to cash, when they went to cash. First they're trading gold and silver. Yeah. Actual value. You're probably right.

Paper notes. These don't really have value. Well, neither does Bitcoin or crypto or any of that. It's just, no, it's a weird transition. Well, we're going to see. You're right. You know, and everybody thinks and same thing, but on the flip side of that token, like, and I, do y'all remember, gosh, it was years ago.

But up there in Michigan and like half of the east coast of the US had a blackout okay like all the power went down for like yeah I do remember that okay when there's no electricity and all your money's on a card guess what you are you're nothing you're nothing you ain't got a dime to your name and that's it it. That's a, that is a problem, you know, uh, for sure that, that, that is a serious issue for people. It's like, you know, I, I keep wanting to drive Bitcoin and cryptic coin and all that stuff, but I'm like, I can't touch it.

It makes me nervous that I can never touch it or see it. Now I know people say, well, same with your cash in the bank, but I can go get that out. I can hold it in my hand. I can get that machine to spit it out. I cannot get it to spit a Bitcoin out. Right. No matter what I do, you know, and that makes me a little anxious. Well, I mean, hey, if you invest in Hock to a coin, you can just spit your hand in. Yeah. No, that's a, yeah. What's crazy about it is it's up to a hundred thousand dollars, Bitcoin specifically. It's like, man, that's, that's interesting. You know, it's wild. It's wild. I think probably it's, um, highly supported

by things that you wouldn't want to know about, you know, they keep that currency buoyed. Yeah. Things that happen underground on the dark web places like that where this currency really moves a lot. I just don't understand where it's spent on. I mean, I don't have a bunch of friends spending Bitcoin that I know of. Right. I could be wrong. I could have a lot of friends using Bitcoin, but I don't, I don't.

Uh, yeah. When it's lucrative, um, you know, back in 2021, it dropped off. I mean, like 13,000, something like that. That's it. I try to, with all things just remain unemotional about it. Whether I like it or not, it's lucrative. Yeah. How about it?

Yeah. That's the best way to make a dollar off of it. Yeah. You know, Kelly bank says her side of the argument is the bank is FDIC insured. What is Bitcoin backed by? You don't have any? No, it's backed by nothing itself. You know, that's that's my thing. It makes me anxious. So I don't know, that may change. Okay, let's see what else here. Two-thirds believe this generation will have more pets than kids. 86% say the nuclear family will not be the most common type of family in the future the nuclear family

Yeah, the like preppers, you know people Know like a you know mom dad two kids. That's quite a good a nuclear family, you know Do you think that that's true that the traditional family is, is going the way that's true now. Yeah. So someone with three dogs and no kids. Uh, yeah, that's true for now. Is it, I mean, obviously it's it's choice that you're not having kids, but, uh, w without, you know, getting into too deep water, is that something that

y'all have actively discussed many times and, and just have made a concerted decision or for sure. For sure. I think, um, you know, I think everybody's perception of time is a little skewed. Sure. We come from a small town where everybody gets pregnant and married at 18. Right. And we just thought, well, let's, let's not do that. Let's not do that. Let's not do that. And, uh, you know, everybody acts like the thirties are just way too old to have kids or do anything. And I still feel pretty good.

No, that's fine. Yeah. But yeah, it has been a concerted conscious effort. You know, we try to think into the, do you think that in the future you may want to do that? For sure. Yeah. I do want kids eventually.

I didn't have my first cent until I was 30, almost 30. And, um, and, and that was by design. I did not want, I wasn't prepared. I didn't want it. If I had a kid at 18 or 20, I'd have destroyed them. Oh my God. It'd be horrible. No, it's somebody raised without a father figure in their life.

It's like, that's the last thing that I wanted to put out in the world. Now, my mom, every time we got in the car from the time I was 13 till I left the house, I'd hear the condom lecture, you know. It was effective. I mean, it did work. I was 29 before I had the first one and I didn't have any scares. So, you know. All right. Let's see. Six and 10 think the go- Oh no, we did that one. Hold on. When it comes to technology, 71% of prospective Gen VEDA parents predict AI will replace teachers. Well, there you go. That's what we were kind of talking about. Yeah.

Yeah. Nearly predicted that and didn't need a study. 46% think space will be the most popular vacation destination. I don't think so. It's not logistically, feasibly, cost efficient in any way. You know, even with the SpaceX and all that right now, you don't have a means to, I mean, maybe for the richest people on the planet. First of all, you have to have somewhere to go. You know,

what are you going to go up to the space station and get stuck there? Like those astronauts for a few weeks, months or years, whatever. I think all of our space efforts should be concentrated on the flat Earth community. We should take every one of them up first. Yeah. No, I saw a dude on TV the other day. He had went on the ocean to prove that the Earth was flat and he was like, well, I guess I was wrong.

Yeah. You think? You are. You are. Dumbass. Yeah, it's not flat. Okay. But I'm, I'm, I guess I was wrong. Yeah, you think? You are. You think, dumbass? Yeah, it's not flat, okay? But I'm the one, I'm the dummy, because I think the earth is round, right?

Yeah. No, you just don't know, the government's tricky. Yes, you're right, absolutely. They want me to think it's round for what reason again? I'm just waiting to see the commercials on TV for like, come see Disney World on Mars this summer. Yeah, it's not happening. They'll come up with time travel before you're going to Mars. Right. Yeah, no. Let's see, close to half of respondents don't think Gen Beta will ever retire in the future considering the estimate they'll

need 1.88 million to retire. I don't think that's the case but I think already I mean again that's another current thing that's going on. It really is because you know I mean if you go back 50 years ago at somewhere between 50 and 60 normally people quit working right and they took their social security and they just did what they did from there. You know, live life, did this, did that. Uh, that's not the case anymore.

Most of the time, you know, I mean, most people probably 70 work until they can't. Well, retirement age now is, is it 70? It's like 67, but it's changing. I mean, it's going up and I assume by the time I get there, I'll be, have to be 85 to get any kind of social security. I like how life expectancy goes down, retirement age goes up. Right. I guess it's a balance.

Well, the most recent thing affected that, I mean, technically life expectancy is up, but because of the pandemic, it went down for a few years but now it's it's backwards. Those numbers are skewed. I mean look medically speaking we are living longer. There's a huge challenge right now. The big challenge is that you've got people living longer and they have enough medication and things to be here but not always enough to be able to take care of self. Yeah. Yeah.

And that, that is a big challenge that, uh, that we're facing. I think the nursing home owners are raking that money in on all of us. Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah, if, if that's where you're going with it, some people, you know, take their family in some people do a nursing home, which, you know, I get if, if, if there's just no other alternative or if you hate their guts, you know, which, you know, I get if, if, if there's just no other alternative or if you hate their guts, you know, but otherwise I could, yeah, yeah.

No, I couldn't just chunk them in a, no, that's one of my, that's one of my biggest goals in life is to not be in a nursing home, not to have my mother in the nursing home and my mother's young now, but it's just, yeah, nursing home tomorrow. Yeah. I was young now, but it's just, I grew up in a nursing home tomorrow. I grew up with, uh, I was blessed to grow up with a four great grandparents. Oh wow.

Yeah. Yeah. Seeing, seeing, uh, your family members go to a nursing home. That's, that's hard to see. And you know, they don't pay them anything. They go to those guys peanuts. And yeah, no, my, both that, well, both well my grandmother uh but she had Alzheimer's and dementia and she went to a facility like that you know but she didn't I mean she knew who I was but no almost nobody else in grandkids she

often didn't know I was the first so she always knew who I was but it was weird because you know I I, the, the last, uh, few months she was alive. I went up there and, and, uh, she would think I was, it was, uh, you know, she would ask about my previous wife. Oh yeah. How's she doing? Yeah.

No, no. I got rid of that bitch pretty well. I'm trying to forget about her too. Yeah. Let's see. Uh, 80% of those surveyed say parents of Jen Betus should start saving for their kids retirement at birth. Well, I think, I mean, that's a good idea for anybody.

If you can do it. I mean, it's hard, especially in this economy to, hey, you're barely trying to cover your own retirement, much less thinking about your kids. Right. But I do weird though, how that's changed. Cause like, used to be, you know, you want to save for your kids to go to college. Now you want to save for them to be able to even retire. Right.

Well, yeah. I mean, it's a, it is an interesting thing, uh, how it's evolved, you know, and just like, uh, when I, when I was young, everybody left home at 18. Yeah. I mean, no, you're hanging out. No, I literally got a broken plate in a rat package for my 18th. Yeah. I said, here you go.

Yep. See you later. Yeah. Uh, I'd left at 16, came back at late 17 and then left again. But, um, but yeah, now, you know, kids are staying home much longer, which I, I, I like it. I feel like it's a good thing. Honestly.

And you've talked to people from other countries and they're like, yeah, that's, it's more of an American thing. Yeah. Yeah. It really is. You know, I mean, and I get it. You want to be independent and all that. And I, and I do think we've lost some of that, but I do love the fact that I'm

still very close with my son's one of them, one of them still home and I, and I do think we've lost some of that, but I do love the fact that I'm still very close with my son's, uh, one of them, one of them still home. And I, and I have the luxury of him being able to graduate Barbara College and stay at home and be able to do that. And you see that more and more in us feels like the family dynamic in those situations is better. It is better, man. My family dynamic wasn't like that. I mean, my parents weren't my friends.

No, not as a kid. Either in life they did, but they weren't my friends. They, they know. Yeah. Right. I left the house at 17. It was the same. I was screwing up. You know, my parents said, you can't live here if you're doing that. Yeah. No, I got kicked out at 16 and went and worked full time and went to high school. And you know, that's just what you did then. That doesn't make it a good idea. Right. Right. And it wasn't a good idea for anybody involved in my equation, you know, uh, but certainly now, you know, I like spending time with my son. They're cool people. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they are my friends now and I'm still a parent, but I mean, they're grown,

you know, and we worked hard to maintain a very good, I mean we still disciplined our kids or did the things we had to do to you know get them through this whatever they needed to get through but we developed meaningful real relationships with them because we wanted them you know. My dad you know children are meant to be seen not heard. Yeah I mean that's that's, you know, dinner, you know, that was that generation. I mean, we were talking about that earlier, the difference in, you know, yeah, I mean, I remember being a kid, you didn't talk at the dinner table unless you were spoken to, you know, that you had your own table.

The kids table. Yeah, sometimes you did. Yeah. Especially if you went to other family members house, they put you over to the table like we're going to get thrown through. But let's see who else is talking to us. Let's see. Kelly said, how's Jersey and his chickens?

You know, Kelly, Jersey had some health issues and I don't know how he is. He was really having some challenges. Hope is doing all right. I do too. I care a great deal about him, you know, but he was really battling some significant health issues last I understood. Tiffany said good morning. Hey, good morning. Keith, say good morning. I'm glad I had my boys when I was 19, but starting over with another one in my 30sies, after I felt like they were almost grown and out that suck. Now they're all adults. Yeah.

Now that, that late one that shows up or, or, you know, that's, that's a, yeah, yeah, that's tough. Uh, there's always been flat Richard because God created it that way to be flat. Yeah. Don't worry about that. Okay. Is that you, your flat? Richard? worry about that okay is that you your flat Richard no that's my brother okay I don't know what in the world he's trying

to talk about there dad got his social security after 30 years of working at these times grass craft that was my that was my dad our dad yeah and yeah he was a he was a delivery driver for 30 years at a local printing company and retired retired. Yeah. Because back then you'd have a retirement, a pension. I mean, you know, things like that really like back in my, in my younger child days, like my mom worked, my dad worked, they both worked, you know, 40 hour full-time jobs. It was, it was a good life, but then yeah, you know, life happened. You know, I mean, it is, it is what it is. Yeah. Did, did your mom work or did she?

Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My mom, it was me and just me and her for a little while and she got with my stepdad. They both worked at a factory in Conway. Both still work there. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, still working in the same factory. Wow. That's crazy. Still antiques on the side. Yeah. My stepdad we're still working factory. Yeah. That's crazy. So antiques on the side. Yeah. Yeah. My stepdad's worked there since he was 18. I wonder how many people right now. Have been at a job over 20 years. How many do you know that have been at a job over 20 years now?

Man, they would, you know, anybody other than your parents, my parents, yeah, and maybe my wife's my wife's mom. Yeah, that's it. The parents. That's it. Just the parents. Yeah. Because nobody else is going to stay that long anywhere. First of all, a lot of companies don't make it, but secondly, you're like, yeah,

I can get better pay somewhere else. I'm out. You know, I think people hate like, just like I'm talking about my parents working at a factory. Um, I think people hate looking down that barrel of, man, I'm going to come to the same building every day, every single day. Isn't that the same argument about being married?

But if you think so, hey, we don't give a shit. Yeah. Whackadoo, Ben the Noob. I had my people talk to the Grammy nominee, we're gonna see if we can get a special category created just for, you know, Jingle's Pops. That's fantastic. I'm hopeful for that. They were super interested, man. Everybody's interested.

As soon as they can get a category, man, it's an award winner for sure. I think it's number five now. It was number one on iTunes for two months, but Russia is ripping open the coffers in hopes of addressing the country's catastrophic birth rate crisis. The Ukraine war has resulted in heavy casualties and a mass exodus. So they say as a result fewer babies than ever being born. So to address it some female college students are being offered cash incentives to get knocked up and give birth. These days a brand spanking new and healthy baby will get a girl a hundred thousand rubles. That's

about nine hundred and ten dollars by the way. The offer is open to full-time college students under the age of 25. Nine hundred dollars. Man, that's not even enough to have sex. I mean, much less have a baby. Wow, that's crazy. Is the viral 75 hard workout challenge for you? In 2019, the 75 hard workout challenge became a thing on TikTok. It's survived ever since. Particularly a thing at the beginning of each year when people give themselves resolutions. Well, you know what they all are. But use Ticktoe Healthy Diet. No cheat meals or alcohol. On each of the 75 days, you have to work out 45 minutes twice a day. Drink at least three liters of water daily. And it says read 10 pages of a nonfiction book each day. Obviously a serious time commitment that goes on with it. Yeah, that's I guess you

got time to do it. That's great. That's great. It is a good good like little workout routine program. I mean I tried it. Okay. I make it but I tried it. If you hadn't found a business idea yet, now everybody needs to be an entrepreneur at some point in their life. Yeah, for sure. Here's a Polish entrepreneur named Alexandra Kasparic. She said she realized one day that sometimes people just need a hug. So she opened up a professional cuddling salon. The Snuggle Center opened up two years ago. It's grown so popular there's a wait list of days to get an appointment for a one-hour snuggle session. There's no hanky-panky, there's no sex allowed, nothing like that. I don't believe her. The rules customers have to agree to make

it clear crossing boundaries leads to immediate end to the session. She said the service is most popular with people between 40 and 60 and it's 37 for an hour and 72 for a couple of them. What do you think? Professional cuddling? Do you need a cuddler? You know, this isn't the first time that I've heard about something like this though. No, no, it's not necessarily new but it is You know, I figured it'd be gone by now. I mean why not? Okay, why not? I can't say that I you know, hey if I wasn't ever you know, like man, I could just use a hug Yeah, like why not? I had to have just call me rich. I'll give you a hug

Don't go pay a lady You want to put me through. Jeez. Yeah. Must be tough by come by hugs these days. I don't know. I mean, a town in England has a banana mystery on its hands in Beeston. Plates loaded with peeled bananas are being left by a roadside every month. And it's been going on for a year.

One resident figured out they're left on the second each month. So she left a sign at the spot reading, please respectfully, no more bananas. The uncontrolled plates are uncollected plates and rotting bananas leave such a mess wishing a happy new year to you all. Uh, no one has a clue why the bananas are appearing or who's behind it. She is missing an excellent opportunity for herself here. Don't you know bananas on picture frames sell for like millions of dollars? True man.

It's art. You've got a free unlimited supply. That is art. That's definitely art. You're right about that. All right. Kevin O'Leary, Shark Tank. Yeah, that's wonderful.

He's actually working on a deal to buy TikTok. Oh yeah. Yeah, he told Fox News Martha McCallum that he'll need Trump's help to make it happen. He said Trump will be who we have to work with to close the deal in the months ahead. On X, the investor also added that former Dodgers owner Frank Frank McCourt, would be his partner in the deal. He said, it's not just about buying TikTok U.S. assets. It's about something bigger protecting the privacy of 170 million American users. Well, from China, not from you. Yeah, I know. I mean, it's okay if it's the U.S. to snoop on you.

Just like China or Mr. Wonderful the Shark. I mean come on man. A Missouri man was seen going 107 miles an hour on I-35 and pulled over. He was driving on guess what? A suspended license. That's a surprise. The reason he gave for speeding probably won't help him at all. Dakota Crater told police he wasn't aware he was speeding

because he was playing a video game while driving. What a moron. What an absolute utter moron. My bad, I was playing for it. I was GTA in here. Grabbed the wrong controller. Police didn't ask what game he was playing or if he set a high score Police in Nagasaki Japan arrested a 40 year old man for assault after he hit his buddy on the head with a bottle at a bar While that's a go-to move in action movies He wasn't using a special effects bottle and injured his friend's head when police asked the 40 year old if he hit his friend He admitted he had when they asked why

They said his answer was incoherent Yeah, in other words, he's drunk Drunk idiots, that's what they do drunk. Yeah, try not to kill us there man. Hey, you know Oh, here we go, this is this is is what you need at the ski slope right here. This is great. A story disputed by historians claims that when us. Hold on a second. Now, this is going to be too long and convoluted,

so I'll just give you the headline. And it says, hold on. The headline is California ski resort owner puts up giant Virgin Mary statue. That's all you need to know. That's it. Yeah. This lady is pissed off. She has a woman on TikTok has revealed how she navigates life with her extraordinarily long acrylic nails. Uh they're four feet long. My Jesus. Mm hmm. A lot of people ask me if

my nails are heavy and how I work with them. Uh but honestly, once you start wearing them, you gain all this finger muscle. It doesn't feel heavy at all. And a clip updated on January 3rd, the nail enthusiast explain their desire to have long nails with 156 charms attached to them. This may be my longest set yet, literally as long as my torso. Despite the length, she brags about her ability to do tasks like cook, take care of her four

kids, including her newborns. She said, if I didn't take care of a baby with these nails, what makes you think I can't do anything else? She admitted to using her nails as cooking utensils when stirring in the kitchen. That's disgusting. That's nasty. That was enough for me. I just assume if you're a long nail enthusiast that you're also a cocaine enthusiast. That's how she's getting all that shit done. Although impressed with her ability to do much with her nails,

TikTok couldn't help but notice the dark colored substance under her nails. One said, is that doo doo? Oh, my God, I can see the picture on there. Yeah, look at that. That's right. You're not getting nothing. There's something mentally wrong with this person. For real. Look, if you're growing your fingernails There's something mentally wrong with real.

Look, if you're growing your fingernails four feet long, there's you have mental issues. Look like to see her wipe her ass. Edward Scissorhead, they say that they that's not a problem for them. But it's hard for me to believe that. I'm sure honestly. Yeah, I mean, as someone who's wiped their ass his whole life, I think that's a challenge. I want to see. Oh, no, no, no,

one second. Hey, what up Paul? Paul Barnett, he just popped in on Facebook. Oh, there we go. No, that's going to the wrong thing. Oh well, I guess that story doesn't matter. That story's good. That's a good headline, but it kept going to the wrong story. So that's out. All right, let's move on and do something else now, shall we? All right Yeah, I guess some other Yeah, I got I put a few new ones in there break it up a little bit That's good driving music right there Yeah, it's got a lot of nice grunge to it.

I could be doing 107 miles an hour and playing a video game right now. Absolutely. I feel pretty good. I feel pretty good. I feel pretty good. Okay, hey this is some good news and you probably need to know it. The van has announced a partnership with the city of Little Rock and has opened winter shelters. has announced a partnership with the City of Little Rock and has opened Winter Shelters.

After news broke Friday that the van had reached a snag in opening a Winter Shelter, they announced they renewed their partnership with the City to get a shelter opened ahead of winter weather. Aaron Redden, you know Aaron, he's been in here, he's been a friend of mine for many years. He founded and operates the van. He shared the news online Saturday afternoon thanking everyone who may call send email and showed they care for almost 700 people. He says are unsheltered right now. Shout out Aaron. He's been really popping up in the news a little bit everywhere.

Oh, yeah, things are really popping on the news almost every night. Yeah, that's what I'm yeah. Well, it's awesome look, I don't even want to walk to my car. Yeah. I don't want to wait for the heat to get to warm up in my car. There was a seven amputees in one weekend last year. Well, after one, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's terrible. That's good. And it's unnecessary.

It is. Uh, they said we're working on it. There'll be a plan out quickly. We'll be opening in Little Rock. I mean, I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do. That's good. And it's unnecessary. It is. They said we're working on it.

There'll be a plan out quickly. We'll be opening in Little Rock. There's also one that's happening in North Little Rock and then one in Jacksonville also. The city said the Dunbar Community Center will be a temporary, well, it was Sunday night. The van is still working on a permanent shelter after plans to purchase a building it fell

through, but I think he's got something now, doesn't he? Well, he had that building, the one that fell through. That was one I was talking about last time I was here. And yeah, it came down to like the guy who's listed on record as owning it cannot provide any proof of ownership or any document. That's a big problem. Yeah. Yeah. When you don't have a title, it's a problem. You know, it's like, I'd like to say this car, do you have a title? Sure don't. Yeah. Not too sure about that one. No, no. Yeah, dude. Aaron though, man, if not for him, I don't know

that the city would have made any arrangements. I mean, here's what I don't, I don't understand. I know there have to be buildings out there that, Oh, do you know how many that are abandoned vacant and not being used at all? Where that surely somebody who owns it somewhere could go here. You can use this. You can have this. You can do whatever with it. And I know people don't just want the people, you know, running ragged over there or squatting on their stuff, but it's like, man, if you look at how many vacant rooms are in Little Rock versus how many people live outside in Little Rock, can we not meet? Well, I do understand.

It is a tough debate at times because sometimes folks are homeless for reasons that make it difficult for them to be around other people, right? You know, they may have issues and may have drug addiction, alcohol addiction, you know, a lot of different issues. I can make that a challenge Could be a criminal element. I mean, there's so many variables and so, you know, I do understand where you know, I know that The last time it got cold there was a hotel that was helping out and we went over and help feed everybody You know, Laura and I did and it took meals to rooms and everything but it was a little bit of pandemonium there. Yeah. You know and I was like yeah I can see where. And it always kind of is

and that's why I just give Aaron the kudos. Oh man. He throws all that shit out the window. He said no man if you've ever been really hungry or really cold, you know, that nobody deserves to be whatever you, whatever baggage you got, none of that shit matters. We're all just people trying to survive. I do deserve to be hungry a little bit. More often. All right.

Uh, let's move on with this then because I think this is interesting the leading causes of death in America don't know if you have any idea what they are if you get guessed what would you think? Smoking. Cancer. Smoking. How many people smoke anymore? Like 5%. Number 10 COVID. No kid. Yeah. 49,000 deaths. It fell from number four in 2022. It accounted for 1.6% of deaths then. Not now. So, alright, let's see what else. Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis is number nine. Yeah, that makes sense. else. Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis is number nine.

That makes sense. Yeah, yeah, a lot of drinking. Number eight, kidney disease. Number seven, diabetes. That's gotta be coming down dramatically. I mean, this is all Ozempic life right now. Yeah, I mean, people may wither away, but they're not gonna have diabetes.

They might blow away in the wind but Alzheimer's is number six I think they're on the cusp of really making some breakthroughs they've with it identified some genetic markers I was about to say we're talking about the genetic testing earlier and that's a huge thing uh it is I learned that um I say most countries of some developed countries refer to we're the only ones that refer to it as Alzheimer's. Other countries refer to it as type three diabetes. Really? As a result of the shit we're eating.

Really shit where, you know, we just see it as Americans as a natural part of getting old. Oh, you kind of start to lose your mind and get dementia, Alzheimer's and they're coming out more and more and saying, what is it we're eating? They're not. That's the question. Um, I think a lot of the dyes in our food, a lot of the preservatives that, uh, you

know, there's a ton of stuff that the American food and drug administration lets in our food that other countries. No, we don't in the red dye now. Yeah. Yeah. Um, and I'm not anywhere the person to be qualified talking about it, but that's the general consensus is that yeah, it's a lot of the stuff we're eating and they say now that, um, mental wellbeing has a lot to do with your gut. Yeah.

You got bomb. Yeah. My wife could tell you about that. Um, it's pretty fascinating when you think about it for sure. Yeah. Yeah. It's a direct line to the brain. Yeah.

It's like a second brain some, man. Yeah. Yeah. Um, all right. So you were right, uh, rich rich number five chronic lower respiratory diseases. So I don't know what I'm talking about here Bronchitis that kind of stuff number four Cerebrovascular disease so that strokes that accounts for about 5% of total deaths in 2023.

Accidental or unintentional injuries, number three, 222,000 deaths from that. Man, you all need to be more careful. Yeah. Seriously. I guess the next two, car wrecks and suicide. Cancer is number two. Yeah. Let's still say heart attack number one.

And cancer is, I mean, that, I mean I mean look you're going to get at some point you're going to get cancer if you live long enough you live right and it may not be at 90 you could it may take you to 120 but you will eventually it will happen. Yeah. Yeah. I mean that's just part of it and then number one is heart disease. So I said heart attack. Yeah. 22% number one is heart disease All deaths heart disease, yeah, so you know and I don't know how long it technically could last All right, I mean in a perfect even in a perfect world. How long could it last? All right. Yeah, but now soon enough when they get you, you know get your consciousness moved over to a robot. Yeah There you go. Really matter and get frozen. Would you that? If you could? Yeah. 100% I would.

You'd move your consciousness. Yeah. If it was an option. Yeah. If they had some technology to, I mean, why not? What else are you gonna be dead in a box? Anyway, you might as well. I'm tired. That's why. I'm clocking out, dude. My shift is up. No, no, no robot. Now I can never stop. Yeah. Already had that problem. Right. Right.

Hd. Yeah. You know, uh, would you do that? Would you transfer your consciousness to a machine? No, no, I'm out. I'm clocking out too. Yeah. I'm done.

Thanks for the life was a good run. I'm like you. I was busy enough. I don't want to ever not. But I'm now I'm. No, I mean, some people would do they're like, I'd love. Thanks for the life. It was a good run. I'm like you. I was busy enough. I don't want to ever not shut off now. No, I mean, some people would, they're like, I'd love to live forever to 150. I'm like, 100, man, I don't even want to make it to 100. To be honest, I know that sounds silly, but I'm like, no, man, I'm not at 100. I'm not going to be spry and feeling great.

I'm going to be like just waiting for the Grim Reaper. I'm just hurry up already. Come on. Yeah, I mean, it's got to be weird once and feeling great. I'm going to be like just waiting for the Grim Reaper. I just hurry up already. Come on. I mean, that's got to be weird once you get my number already. Once you get a certain age, it's got to be weird. Every day you're like, well, I did wake up. It's got to start to really wear on you. Oh, yeah.

I'm sure. Thinking, man, any second now. Any day I'm going to go to sleep. Any day. It's going it'll be done and it's gonna be wonderful and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and he transports for funeral homes and he says you won't you you don't realize how many people actually die a day like just in general how many yeah yeah no i'm sure uh that a lot of people die every day yeah i would imagine so um hey check this out the folks are ripping you off but you knew that right i mean it's's not new but these stories are a little bit new breaking news

According to a new book Spotify has been promoting ghost artists so it can avoid paying royalties to real artists. Oh Yeah, how about that in an excerpt from a book called mood machine the rise of Spotify and the cost of the perfect playlist mood machine, the rise of Spotify and the cost of the perfect playlist, the author reveals the streaming platform has a secret internal program that prioritizes cheap and generic music. It's dubbed Perfect Fit Content or PFC and the program not only involved a network of affiliated production firms that created a ton of low-budget stock music for the platform but also a team of employees who put tracks from those firms on the curated playlist. So in doing so they're effectively working to grow the percentage of streams that don't cost them anything to run.

Gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah I'd be aggravated if I was an artist and you're paying a bunch of crap that no Yeah, AI generated crap, which is what it probably is. Oh, yeah. Is that something? Are you seeing things like that show up in your playlist? An artist you've never heard of I mean artist I was gonna say yeah, there's there's been a few times I've pulled up a playlist on play on Spotify specifically and then like where in the hell did this even come from? Like is it just instrumental? Do they have vocals? I mean what? No, it's all yeah, it's vocals and songs and full length stuff that sounds like- Have you not heard an AI song yet? Well, I mean I've heard the ones that you know, you see on the internet where

yeah, you know somebody talks about it or whatever, but no, I don't just go pull up a lot of AI music. Is it big in your life? Are you an AI music guy? Yes or no. Okay. Like I'd hear more. Well, I will say that it's, it's becoming a great tool for wrestlers to use.

Oh, for intro and entrance music and everything. That's where I've really seen it. Right. Right. And that's where I've really seen it get used a lot at and even used it myself for. So, you know, in that point, yeah, moving to where somebody's gym plate. Really? Yeah.

No, I absolutely. Oh yeah. Well, I had talked to y'all, uh, I think we were talking about this a couple of weeks ago. They've already used AI to essentially, they took, they took Randy Travis's voice. Oh yeah, that's right. And then they had a whole bunch of other country stars come in and like record, like they were singing, you know, Randy Travis's style.

And then mix the two together and basically came out with a whole album that was AI, but sounded exactly like Randy Travis. Right. And he signed off on it. Yeah. And he signed off on it. He was good, but I see, I mean, I think about it, like not necessarily, you know, bumping any music, but if you're a, you're a, you're a creator or a music person,

sure. You can go into a program, type in your lyrics and everything, select the style, and all of a sudden, bam, you got your song. If you're a songwriter, it's a helpful tool. There are lots of ways it is helpful, I'm just saying that. I do think at some point they'll start more and more cloning artist styles versus crediting the artist and put their stuff out. You know, I mean, the better AI gets, you know, it's harder to differentiate.

If they came up with an AI that kind of sounded like Chris Cornell, people might buy it up. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Right. Right. If it was just a shade off of it, just a pitch off or something. Yeah, yeah, just a little bit, but still the same kind of thing. You'd be like, ah, this is great. Right. You know, how long is it before we're going to be fooled by an artist who's not real? And it becomes one of your favorites. I guess I'm almost thinking or at least hoping that it will, with the surgence of AI music, that it will almost add more value to genuine music. Maybe it will. You know what I mean? It'll be, but the easier, the better it gets, the harder it's going to be to even pick out if what you're listening, the better it gets, the harder it's going to be to

even pick out if what else, some of it's probably practically AI now. Some of these pop stars, I don't know. I don't know how much they're actually doing or not doing, you know, I'm not even sure how many of them play instruments anymore. Is that a thing? Do we do that anymore? Or is band AI now marching bands all AI? Right.

Yeah. You see more and more singers. That's all they do. They're just up there singing. They're not playing anything. Yeah. Now, speaking of artist and ripping us off, in a jaw-dropping expose, new details reveal how the shuttered venue operators grant. That was a taxpayer funded pandemic relief program. It was designed to help save businesses and independent art organizations but it apparently turned into a free for all for Hollywood for both actors and musicians.

Okay so Lil Wayne whom I love and I consider the ghost, he got an $8.9 million grant. Now instead of directing those funds towards sustaining music operations, he spent $1.3 on a private jet, about $460,000 on designer clothing. Additionally, he billed taxpayers $88,000 for a New Year's Eve concert in Coachella, which he did cancel. And similarly, Chris Brown's company, CBE Touring, secured a $10 million grant. Brown personally pocketed $5 million and used $80,000 to fund a birthday party, complete with models, an LED dance dance floor and other things.

Let's see a DJ Marshmello got 9.9 million with his business manager claiming the money went into his personal account. Steve Aoki another DJ his company DJ Kid Millionaire got 2.4 million for payroll cost and 1.9 went to him. That's good payroll. Hell yeah. Even rock bands like Shinedown got in on the action. They split 2.5 million among the three members from their 8.3 million dollar grant. Alice in Chains members took distributions from their grant despite selling their catalog for 48 million. Well, you know. Yeah. It's nice to know where all my hard work has gone to. Well, they were able to get themselves a new plate, you know, no, no. I just want you to know that while you're having to file taxes, right?

You know, having them take money out of your check that at least DJ Marshmallow is getting one. I mean, you know, I would know. I mean, that's good, right? Thank goodness. Glad to know that my taxes are going exactly where I need them to. No, I absolutely want to support Chris Brown's LED dance floor. I mean, why wouldn't I? Please go get yourself that new jet.

Don't worry about the hamburger meat that I can't afford at the grocery store. No, that's fine. Let's see. Scotty said, I'm going into my 20th full year at A&B Dirt and Conway. 30 off and on, really. I'm 49. That's amazing, Scotty said, I'm going into my 20th full year at A&B Dirt and Conway. 30 off and on, really, I'm 49. That's amazing, man.

We were asking earlier how many people have been at a company 20 years or longer. By the way, you're the only person who has said that. Commented. Yeah, about being somewhere 20 years or more. Now, there may be somebody else out there. If you are, I'd be interested to know where you are and why you're there. Yeah, what kept you there? Yeah, I mean, 20 years at A&B Dirt, you must be a pretty valuable employee or the owner now.

Andy said, hey, hey. Maybe they just really like to play with dirt as a kid. I mean, look, operating heavy machinery is probably fun. I mean, I've never done it, but I think it'd be fun. It seems like it would now. I'm sure like anything else after you do it a while, it's, it's work, right? You know, just like being a singer at some point, you know, you sang that song a thousand times. It's a job, but, but still, you may not have been with the same company, but you've been in radio for over 20 years.

That's true. I mean, it's true. I mean, that's fact, you know, I have been in the industry at least. That's yeah. Uh, but I, but I'm an entertainer is what I love doing. Right. You know, I mean, I've been in entertainment since I could remember. And, um, and yeah, I don't.

But I mean, there's a, you know, your point's well made. I mean, if I could have been with the same company, if they weren't a piece of shit, I would have been there. Hey, I'm glad we're here though. I'm glad we're here. Well, that hadn't happened. I am too. I had a lot of people when I was, went out to Sticky's for Death Metal Disco and was

talking to all the guys and the band members and everything there. And we were all, they were all talking about it the guys and the band members and everything there and we were all They were all talking about it because it you know, and I I didn't realize how many people Really felt the type of way about it. Oh, yeah, you know, I like we're really hot about it Oh, yeah, you know and there's your dude straight up told me said man. I turned it off. Yeah He said I'll never go back. No piss me off real bad. All right. Well, I't, you know, I knew I was passionate, but I'm the one being paid to do it. Yeah. Exactly. Do your other people express that? I have not heard one reaction that was different than that right there from everybody, you

know, as a fan and a friend, you know, like that's the general consensus to everybody. Like, nope, that's not my, that's not the number one button anymore no hey good luck to them you know i i know hate on anybody there's room for everybody and if you love it you love it that's great you know i mean look i mean if you're going to get music and and uh you want the you know modern rock that's right that's probably how you're going to get it unless you're just going to play a uh you know, mp3s or whatever. Yeah. Right.

Stream it. Right. I don't know if so many people do that now anyways. You have, you know, satellite radio, you're just plugging your phone or Bluetooth your phone to it and... I think overwhelmingly now more people probably stream content. Oh yeah, for sure. Oh yeah.

At any point. A thousand percent. Yeah. I'm certain of that as a matter of fact, you know because when I you know I'll even admit when they first started the streaming thing. I was like I Don't know about this. I'm not sure and You know when the yeah, it made me a little anxious. Yeah first, but but over time I was like now this is really amazing because

beforehand if you were in any kind of entertainment, you'd have to be syndicated to get out Uh, but, but over time I was like, now this is really amazing because beforehand, if you were in any kind of entertainment, you'd have to be syndicated to get out to, you know, people all over the planet or all over the country. Now, all you need is streaming and you can be heard or seen or whatever, anywhere in the world. Right. That's kind of dope. Yeah.

The opportunity just floated, but we were concerned about it now rightfully so in some ways because if you listen to corporate radio and and you know what I mean, I mean it's Almost all sound the same. Yeah, you know, it's it's it's they've stripped out all the originality and the fun Oh, yeah the most part and they just put in the the, the hokey cheesy, you know, double shot of lead. That's that. Yeah. Okay.

Thanks, man. I can't wait to hear it again. And that's, I feel like that's all it's turned into for people is background. Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, it's something to have on in the background. It is. It's not something that out of interest.

I remember when I was going through broadcasting school, the big term was, you know, some stations after the morning show go to being robot stations. Yeah, that's true. The people don't realize that in radio, the morning show makes the money for the station. Right. That's where you want it to be. That's where the money is. That is the money.

That's the revenue generator for the station. The other shows may do well, but your morning show is always the biggest revenue. Right. You know, that's where everybody congregated, you know? But now it's changing a lot. Yeah. And if you could get a syndicated,

if you could be a morning show and get yourself syndicated, you just stamped your ticket. I mean, when I was doing the rant, If you could be a morning show and get yourself syndicated, you just stamped your ticket. When I was doing the rant and I ended up being in, I don't know, 18 states doing it, it was really, it was really cool. I was like, wow, this is crazy because the internet wasn't as big then as it is now. So that it was quite a big deal at that point to do that. And it was not an easy thing to accomplish either.

I mean, because I had to call and solicit that shit. They weren't just calling me. At first anyway, they weren't, you know, but, but over time, I mean, we, the hell I was on in Boston, El Paso and Denver and Mankato, Minnesota. I mean, hell, I was everywhere. Man, New England. It was cool cool man. It was really cool to little doggy He worked at a place called gets craft printers. It was in Ann Arbor, Michigan Yeah, now he's been in printing for as long as I know. Yeah He's been in that industry his whole life to my knowledge as long as I've known him. Well, that's not true I've known him since fourth grade

He's been in writing. Yeah, my dad was like I said, he was to the delivery driver for him, but man He loved that job. He took pride in it. Yeah, everybody knew him like walk into a business and then you know Oh, there's birds of the delivery guy. Yeah, come on through. He just just that kind of guy is always friendly Yeah, I know people see my dad go. There's that brick that owes me money always friendly. Yeah I know people see my dad and go there's that brick that owes me money. Let's see, Koda said the last co-worker I had that was employed at our place of work told me that if I'm still there in 20 years I should go ahead and end it. David said not the same company but 20 years next year in HVAC. Yeah I think if you're a tradesman like that, you know, a printer, if you're in heating air, a lot of those industries, you may stay in that industry for your life.

But it is still pretty rare to stay with the same company. Even if you're staying within the industry. Right, right. I know. Scotty Thorpe says several reasons that he stayed this long. Construction is a fickle business. He loves running equipment. He's never ran out of work. He could bounce around and chase work, but they run out.

No, I mean, I'm not part owner, but yeah. I can believe that though. I mean, if you look, if you're a heavy equipment operator, you're always in demand. Yeah. Because I promise you, I promise you they're not spitting out a ton of new ones today like they used to. I mean, and I agree with his last statement. He says, last sentence here, he said, they take good care of us and there's no real reason

to leave. Yeah. And I think really as an employee, like that's all you want. You want to, you know, we understand that we're working. We understand that, you know, everybody above us is who we're making money for. Like we're not dumb, but you want to feel appreciated for doing that. Yeah, no, I agree with you on that. I mean, look, we, most people know that they're, you know, make money for the company. That's what you're there for.

You know, it's only in recent years, we've become angry about that. And some of that is justified because you have some greedy mother. Well, that're paying themselves eight million dollars yeah you got 14 an hour and that's trash but but yeah I mean most of the deal I don't mind a company making money I don't mind you know I don't mind at all I want them to profit if I like them right and I've actually had that conversation with a couple of friends myself because my work from home job they're like you know, I don't mind at all. I want them to profit if I like them. Right. And I've actually had that conversation with a couple of friends myself, because my work from home job, they're like, we haven't gotten a raise in like two years. And they're like, you've been there long enough.

You know what you're doing. You could go to another company and make more. And I'm like, yeah, but there's no guarantee that A, they're going to have me on the same schedule. B, I'm a single dad. You know, can I go take a 45 minute lunch break to go pick up my kid from school? Like sometimes there's a value to being a known commodity and flexibility.

You don't have another job, right? It takes a while to earn that. You know, if you've been somewhere long enough, you can go boss, I need to take off a little more. Right. And it's cool, you know, and if you have a good relationship, that is a good reason to stay. I mean, you know, just going for a dollar an hour more isn't enough reason to leave a company. You'd have to have for me many reasons.

Right. Yeah. Just that, you know. I'd say that was one of my biggest entrepreneurial motivators as a young man was going to the company I worked for his Christmas party at the boss's house and just seeing where my boss lives, what he was paying me. I said, now I can't do this. I can't do it. And here's the interesting thing too. I mean, just stop and think about it for a minute. I mean, we all need something to shoot for. We all need something to work for, a dream,

a goal, something, you know, and if you don't have people live in that life, how are you going to know what that life is to go for it? Exactly. I've never felt angry for people making money or being rich or being successful or having cool shit. Right. I think that's great if you do, you know, I mean, good for you on that. You know, I know some people feel like, well, you should be, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do you know, take nothing jobs they had to do or whatever. Now they're making money for it. Yeah. Well, a lot of people do work long and hard.

Let's be honest here. None of us that operate here have drawn a single paycheck of any kind. No, right now we're just here on good spirits and good times. Right. Oh yeah. Oh yeah baby. Let's go. Let's go. The hope is eventually that that results in the way that we want it to, you know? Absolutely. And if it does, I'm not going to feel bad for that.

Right. Because look at the amount of time that we put in. Right. That's exactly my point. I don't mean that to be a dick. I'm just saying that I'm the one here, you're the one here. Right. Putting this time in and doing it unpaid with a good attitude,

I might admit, mostly. And so yeah, when it does come to the pay part, I do want that. Of course I do. I'm like, yeah, all those hours I worked, I'd like to be compensated sometimes, if I could be. But that's exactly my point. It's what Iated right if I could be Right because I could walk away from this in nine months or ten months from now and a year and

Say I'm done and never have made any money at all right right. I mean, that's the risk I take right, you know, absolutely. Yeah, so if you make you know a million dollars from it Why why is that my place to say oh you need to give that to me I did but yeah but I feel you and I understand like I get the anger at Big Farm now I don't yeah yeah corporations I do well yeah I do not I will not I'll never tell you that killing people is an answer I think that's stupid right but I do understand the anger because I mean, people's lives are impacted. You don't have a choice. This is those kinds of things.

That's where the greed can get out of here. Well, you know, and we all know that. And that's, that's a, yeah, that's, I mean, when you can go and when you can make a medicine that can cure my disease for 20 cents and you want to charge me $200 to buy it I'm gonna be pissed off with that. Look. I understand that you have to pay for research and development things like that I get that but there there is at some point a line I would think an ethical moral line that goes

Man, I can't rate people like that You know, but they're not yeah, but they're not. Yeah, but they're not, you know, they don't sometimes. Right. And it's definitely, it's definitely different looking at the greed of like corporations and stuff like that, especially the big corporation. You know, yeah. But as far as like other individuals never get, never get pessimistic or jealous or insecure, just be motivated, take some notes, learn from them. Yeah. In fairness too, sometimes you know you look at someone and you think, oh they got the best life ever and maybe they don't. No, I mean we're sitting here and do shows every week together and we still lack so much context on each other's lives. Oh yeah.

We're good friends. Imagine how much context you lack on a stranger's life. You have no idea. You have no idea. No, I mean, I guarantee you people must think that... I know people think this. They think that my life is like one big party. I'm just out kicking, you know, ranting and showing up. But that ain't how it is. I work my ass off.

I work here. I work in real estate. I didn't get home last night. I don't know what time it was. I know, I work my ass off. Yeah, you know, I work here. I work in real estate. I didn't get home last night. I don't know what time it was. I mean, it was late. Right. You know, and that's every day. And I'm not bitching about that right now. Bitching about that. I chose real estate because to be honest,

I was tired of making everybody else money. Right. Right. You know, now I'm still making somebody else. You know, but at least with real estate, I have a little, little better way to go about it. Right. And I can use that as a means to hopefully improve my financial situation. Right. You know, I'd like at some point to, to be that guy again, where I go, yeah, no, I got a credit score that's around 800. When I hear that, when people say that to me, I just look at them and go. I don't even, I never even approached it.

Yeah. 721, but, but it's crazy. You know, uh, what people may perceive your life to be. No, I'm empathetic with that. You know, people told me all the time, like, Oh man, you're in your thirties. You don't have any kids. You travel around. Oh yeah, you're loaded. I mean, truth be told, I worked my ass off. I mean, you're on the grind too. You worked late and there's some days I wish like, man, I wish I was just going somewhere for eight hours a day. I'm going to tell you the 100% unvarnished truth. Uh. This morning, the alarm went off and this is a daily

thing for me about the first 10 to 12 minutes. I don't want to get up. I don't want to do this show. I don't want to talk to you. I don't want to talk to you. I don't like anybody. I don't want anything to do with anything. I just want to go back to bed. That's what I want for the first 10 to 12 minutes. After that my attitude adjusts and I adapt and I'm happy. But yeah I mean everybody no matter how fun or cool or whatever your job may be it's a job. If I'm gonna get up and do this I gotta get up and do this. Even on the days I don't feel like it. Well you know she was to walk out in those even on the days I don't feel like well you know she was to walk out in those 20 degree promise you when I open the door and that my balls I don't know man

do I need this in my life I got a really need a show anymore no do I have to get a remote starter for my truck. Oh, yeah. Cause that kills me. Yeah, I know. Every time Chad does it, I do feel a sense of envy. You know, the Chad. Chad is a fancy badass boy. Yeah, I know. You know what I did this morning?

What? I woke up, I put on my hoodie, I went out, walked up the stairs to my car and started it just like it's meant to be. And then walked right back inside and said, I'm gonna wait 15 minutes for it to warm up. I did not do that. No, I don't have the remote, you know, all this fancy remote starter. No, I get in it. I started, I wait about one minute and I go, and they say, you know, you

used to, you had to warm them up. They say now the modern cars, you only need 20 or 30 seconds, but I also think for a minute in the cold. I'm not blessed enough to drive a modern car. Yeah, mine's not modern. Mine's not that modern, you Yeah, mine's not modern. That modern, you know, it's 2013 or whatever. Here's a 2013, mine's 90s, 98.

Yeah, but that's a good one though. Is it a Buick? Yeah, it's a Buick Century. With under 100,000 miles under it. Original everything. That's a lead sled too. Those things ride like a cloud, bro Ride now I used to sell the shit out of Buick centuries when I was in the car business. Yeah. Yeah, I worked for a

Kurt Zorn Motor Company in Benton and they sold junk. Yeah What it was man we literally had people When when they bought the car they they would sign an as is agreement. That said, if this car breaks in half as I drive off the lot, I will pay for both halves. You had to sign that shit, man. Can you imagine that? I mean, it's like, what? I'm not so sure about this.

I don't believe that would fly today in today's market. I'm not sure anybody would sign that. That's hilarious. We sold a bunch of junkers, but the Century is a good car though. It really is. I enjoy it as much as I dog on it for it being an old car and everything. Get you from A to B. That's all the matters. I'm not you know, it the great thing about cars like that is they they aren't Over-relying on computers and everything they can break down, you know

I have been on both sides of the spectrum because you know now I drive a 98 straight We got you rich we got you but I've had a I had a, uh, was a 2009 Cadillac CTS for a minute. Oh yeah. That's a nice car. Dude, it was, I love that was, that was luxury for sure. It was all leather interior. That's what my mother-in-law has. Warmers and everything.

Yeah. Oh, nine CTS. Yeah. And then then coil packs blue and they said, Oh, it's going to be like $2,000 to replace them. And I was like, so here's the keys. Yeah. I'm gonna go back to that 98. Now I sometimes I miss the old cars.

They were just simple and easy. Yeah. I could work on it. Yeah. That's what I want to work on. 2019 RAV4 and I'm no mechanic, but I can change my oil and the brakes and I can't do anything on her car. I can't find the oil filter.

No, some of them are that way. Like the Lexus, I never could. I mean that I could put oil in it, but that was it. I mean it's just the way it's designed is so compact. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Those older cars, you could crawl under the hood. Yeah. I can shut the hood and stay in there for about an hour. You know, I did change my thermostat out the other day, which was yeah, I did. I, which is not that big a deal, but I was like, all right, you know, I hadn't done anything like this in a little while. Like on your own or did you, you know, YouTube some tutorials and

no, I'm always going to YouTube it. Because you, you learn what not to do that. I feel like any females in our audience are like what you know Why is that a big deal and every dude in our audience are like? Now I did and I was happy about it when I was done I was like it was pretty damn manly Prompted it or you just yeah, no my car overheated prompted it or you just yeah no my car overheated yeah yeah and I had a car years ago and that's where I first learned about thermostats and cars because it kept overheating and I thought it was gonna be some incredible

you know expensive fix and no no you're good to go thermostats always anytime you have overheating that's the first thing unless you have an obvious hose that's right. Right. First thing you do is change the thermostat because they're only like 15, 20 bucks. And it's not usually very difficult to change out, you know, now after that, it gets into other things, you know, the old cars too, you, you crack your windshield

or something, a hundred bucks. You get it. It's over a thousand now, at least for my wife's rave. We got our window cracked driving back from Montana. And I was like, no big deal. We'll just stop somewhere. And they said like 1200 bucks. And I'm like, what?

Dude. Well, my wife told me that the other day about hers. I was like, isn't it like you, you go over to safe lives like 50 bucks. Yeah. Yeah. It's nothing. Yeah. No, it's 500.

I said, what are you talking about? 500, what are you talking about? Yeah, like, stupid lords. What do you mean 500? It's a piece of glass. Oh, windshield's not 500. Right. Oh yeah, no, they are now.

I got my mind blown when I was car shopping before that one, like, with just the general call. Like, I grew up in the days of, you know, if you could turn the key over and it started, it was worth 500 bucks at least. Right, right. And That still lasts you a good year or so as a car. I've spent a few $500 dollars in my day. But now dude, unless you're spending like five grand on a car it might last you a day. No, when I decided to buy a different vehicle for you you know, because in real estate, I drive

all the time. I mean, yeah, I'm, I mean, it's like an in, in, in town truck driver, right? Right. I mean, I'm literally on the road almost all day. And so I was like, well, I need a, a more efficient vehicle for that, you know, and I wanted to go buy the cheap car. Yeah. I looked for cars that might be $3,000 cash cash for and every one of them I'd look at I was like that is a turd. Yeah. I can't do nothing with that. That's just that's just waiting to die on. So yeah, you got to pony up. Yeah, I bought my first truck 200 bucks 200 bucks cash. I couldn't even have a driver's license yet and I drove it home and my parents were pissed. They're like, what are you doing? It was $200. I had the money. I was back then. Yeah, no, I, uh, trying to remember.

I remember buying a car after I graduated for $500. Oh yeah. Yeah. Monte Carlo. I think it was a Monte Carlo four door lead sled. It was a piece of crap, but it ran. Oh yeah. You know, and it got me back and forth, didn't it? I was always mad I didn't have a good stereo.

That was always the most important thing to me. That was the number one thing when you were, you know, 15, 16. Well yeah, if you couldn't bump lead zeppelin, what could you do? Yeah, you were trash, right? Y'all, I gotta take off and get out of here myself. I hate to have to leave you a little early. But that's the way it works out today, so. Well, okay. Thanks for having me, man.

Hell yeah, man. We'll see you. Ring the bell real quick. Alright. And we'll be back on Thursday. Just one more time, you know? Yeah. Alright. We're gonna get a table set up here for you to get slam Thursday. Yeah, one preferably without any exposed rusty nails or anything that's gonna kill me man. We're gonna make sure it's a solid steel one. Yeah, there you go. Hey y'all have a good one. We'll see you back here Thursday. Mark and brawl January 25th. Mark your calendars.

Nice. That's right. Have a good one y'all. Later. Alright bro. Later. So let's do, let's change gears real quick and we'll do this and uh and uh yeah here we go. I don't know, Luke, it might be, it might be. This is exactly what belongs here. Love can make you do stupid shit, let's be honest, but here's a new champion in that area.

A zookeeper at a private zoo went into the lion enclosure to film himself petting the lions to impress his fiance. Unfortunately for him, the three fully grown lions weren't interested in love and attacked him and killed him. What were described as his partially eaten remains were found for four hours after the incident. Two of the lions were tranquilized because they escaped the enclosure after he left it unlocked. The third lion was shot. Reports say the man was an experienced lion handler. Well, not a good one. I'm sure that's what he said to his girlfriend right before.

Right. Like, no, I've done this before. Yeah, no, she's like, do you think he should know yeah no this is cool yeah that had to be a tough moment for him when they just started working and he's like oh this was a bad idea I should have kept my mouth shut yeah no this is a bad idea right as good as this as I thought I was no definitely a letdown right there. All right This is a pretty interesting one too here This is animals are pissed off a young woman killed by an Asian elephant at a sanctuary in Thailand Friday during a bathing session gone wrong a

Spanish citizen Blanca. Oh I Want to say it right one Gurren? Was visiting Koyao elephant care Oh, I want to say it right. Juan Gurin was visiting Coyal Elephant Care with her boyfriend at the time. The newspaper reported over the weekend she studied law at the University of Navarra. The Elephant Care told the Spanish outlet the 50 year old elephant pushed her with its trunk while she bathed it and caused a fatal blow. About 18 people were at the sanctuary at the time, including her boyfriend.

She was rushed to a local hospital where she later died. The sanctuary owners of the business was temporarily closed as a result. They offer tourist packages, 50 to 85 bucks. The company offered two hour sessions with elephants that include everything ranging from cooking classes to kayak sessions But yeah, I mean look if you do with wild animals, all right, there's a risk to it. Yeah, I might die Yeah

I feel like it's almost like the Titanic submarine like if you're rich enough to be taking baths with elephants and I think yeah I deserve it. Well, I mean what happens happens, right? All right Swedish rapper Gaboro, he's 23. He was executed in a public parking lot in Sweden. The execution shockingly live streamed with footage showing the assailant firing multiple shots as he attempted to flee and. Pledged for his life. Uh, Gaboro succumbed to his injuries despite efforts to save him.

At about 8 p.m., authorities were alerted to a shooting in a parking lot. They found him injured with multiple gunshot wounds. The artist who had prior convictions for alleged gang affiliations became the latest casualty in Sweden's escalating gang violence epidemic. Now, if I'm not mistaken, just a few years ago, Sweden and Denmark were the happiest place in the world. Everybody wants to be there. Yeah, the least violent.

Yeah, now you've got gang violence going on. You gotta get the street cred. Wow, that's wild for Sweden. I would not expect that. They do have this very stringent gun control laws, but they've witnessed a surge and firearm homicides now so in spite of the fact they have the really strong laws it has yeah all the bad guys have gone that is exactly how that works

you're right yeah now make the good guys give them up and what happens yeah exactly one person died at least five hospitalized after a boat exploded and a dock fire at a marina in Fort Lauderdale. Well, you don't want to die in Fort Lauderdale, do you? It's a good trip. It's just ruined for everybody. They responded to several 911 calls upon arrival. They discovered one primary boat fire that had spread to a second nearby vessel. Several people were injured from both the explosion and the fire. Three of those individuals hospitalized with traumatic injuries. Divers and watercraft started searching for one it was

unaccounted for. One of them that was taken to the hospital was impaled by some kind of metal bar that apparently went in his back and out the bottom of his legs somewhere. Wow. That had to feel that it'd be pretty bad. It probably sounds like, hold on, like, yeah, yeah, I would think that's about what that sounded like right there. Yeah, that's I think that's about what that sounded like right there. Yeah, that's that's bad. All right, and two luxury real estate agents and their brother

Are accused of drugging and assaulting raping dozens of women according to a federal indictment. Wow. Yeah tall 38 and or an Alexander 37 to prominent jet-setting brokers in New York and Miami and their brother Alon were arrested Miami Beach. Prosecutors say they work together with others known and unknown to repeatedly assault dozens of victims in New York, Miami and elsewhere. The prosecutor said the conduct is heinous, which you would imagine them to say, but they arranged for these well in advance using the promise of luxury experiences, travel accommodations to lure and entice women to locations where they were then. Assaulted sometimes by multiple people. At times the brothers restrained and held their victims down. According to the charges and the indictment, the three brothers had conspired in the trafficking

scheme since at least 2010. How do you get away with it? Okay, that long and think somebody pick up. I mean, I just don't understand. Yeah, that's why I how you can solve people for that length of time and get away with it. No, I pick up on the scam you're running. No, I mean, that's that's that's pretty wild. All right and uh let's see what this one says. Oh this is this is another

really crazy thing. A judge in California ruled last week that a woman that women I'm sorry who are allegedly sexually assaulted in a women's prison by a man who claims female identity man who claims female identity must use she and her pronouns to describe the defendant remain Carol a 52 year old prisoner housed in Central California women's facility after claiming they identify as female but is accused of assaulting multiple female inmates after his first cellmate became pregnant and the and two other cellmates complained he had assaulted them. Hold on a minute.

Yeah, wait, wait. You claimed to be a woman, but you just got this woman pregnant who was your cellmate, and now you're gonna put two more in there? How about sending him back to the men's prison where he

belongs? That whole shit is a racket. And that's what happens. That's what, well, why wouldn't you? Why wouldn't you? If you're a male, of course, all you got to say is I'll send you to the women's. Yeah. And look what happened. Exactly. Supervising district attorney noted that the outlet, the alleged victims must use female language to describe the abuser. He said, look,

it's insane that a victim would have to get on the stand and police their pronouns when they're trying to talk about one of the worst times in their entire life. Uh, yeah. Why is that prioritized in the case? I mean, that's what I'm saying. I mean, look, clearly if you were a woman, that got removed when you got your cellmate pregnant.

Yeah. We wouldn't be here right now. Yeah. That's a, that's, uh, that's wild. But then, you know, and, and this is the stupid stuff that happens in California that people don't understand, right? You know, so say what you want. But I look at that and I'm like, are you kidding me? A rapist and you're worried about the pronouns.

And dudes in women's prison. Like, come on. I don't care how they identify it. If they have a penis, they don't belong there. It's like, uh, if, if you've been sent to federal prison, I feel like you've kind of forfeited your right to identify as anything other than a prisoner. But now they want the taxpayer to foot the bill for giving them operations and whatnot. I'm like, why? They're in prison. What do they even need it for? Right. Right. That whole shit. What does the equipment matter? Can they pee? Can they poop? like why they're in prison what do they even need it for right right matter can

they pee yeah and they poop yeah and that's all that matters you know otherwise sorry you're in prison when you get out spend your money on whatever you want that's just how it goes you find yourself in prison then yeah you don't have the freedom you don't know you don't know you don't know anything other than an inmate exactly yeah that's what you're an inmate inmate number whatever yeah not male not female not anything you know the whole shit's a racket. I hate to, it's not helping the cause. That's for sure.

No, it definitely is not, uh, doing that. Well, uh, listen to today's show is a little bit shorter. Uh, I've got something that I need to do this morning, but I want to thank everybody.
