1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: Well, they're starting their rally at the state House.

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 2: I saw somebody brought cookies.

3
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: Oh do we know how many people are there? Have

4
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: we gotten any information? Is there any on the ground

5
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: video of all the people who have showed up to

6
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: protest the lack of redistricting from the Indiana Senate.

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: No, I haven't seen anything yet. I'm looking to see

8
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 2: if Indie reporter or Nikki Kelly or somebody I know

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: they're there. Yeah, so I'm sure they'll they'll write something

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 2: up soon.

11
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: So it would appear there was not like a swarm

12
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: of people that you would think if you like they

13
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: were lined out the door, there would have been some

14
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: sort of heads up on that.

15
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 2: I know they brought cookies. Maybe the governor will bring

16
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: in some cookies for Hammer and Nigel Libert today.

17
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: Because there's no one there, I don't want to go

18
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,319
Speaker 1: down there on waste my time walking all the way

19
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: down there.

20
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: Well, if you put eyes on, you'll know for yourself

21
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: how many people I know.

22
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 1: But that's a long walk all the way right.

23
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: It's all a block and a half.

24
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I forgot I got the sports betting show I

25
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: got to do too, So that means I'm raining too.

26
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, why don't you just go down there?

27
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm good. But they are coming out of

28
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: the woodwork. Now. You have somebody who has announced their

29
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 2: candidacy or their campaign for State Senate District twenty three,

30
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: Paula Copenhaveer.

31
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, all these people now are going to get all

32
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: gun ho about challenging these senators that are voting for

33
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: or not voting for redistricting. And again I come back

34
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: to every person who's now pulling the trigger on this,

35
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: how pathetic are you that you won't challenge them over

36
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: screwing everybody on property taxes. You won't challenge them over

37
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: screwing everybody on ever rising utility bills. You won't challenge

38
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: them over the never ending gas tax, one of the

39
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: highest in the nation. You won't challenge him over the

40
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: what appears to be just blatant corruption and conflicts of

41
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: interest to the tunes of one hundreds of millions of

42
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: dollars in the IDC. But you see some opportunity over redistricting,

43
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: and that this is why some thing ever changes, because

44
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: it appears to be a bunch of people who are

45
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: opportunistic in their approach rather than hammerly gonna go in

46
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: there and fight for the folks. So I'm not interested

47
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: in any of this right now because it seems pretty

48
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: selfish to me that this is what did it in

49
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: for you. Well, they're vulnerable, and if you think Trump

50
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: is gonna be some magic bullet for you, Trump is

51
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: gonna forget about you before he changes his underwear tomorrow.

52
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: Who are you if you're bang on Donald trup What

53
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: do you think he's gonna do fundraisers for you? That's

54
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: not how this is going to work. Indiana is a

55
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: red state, but Trump's approval ratings in multiple polls show

56
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,839
Speaker 1: him somewhere around fifty percent in Indiana, which means people

57
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: will vote for him if they vote Republican. They're probably

58
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: much more happy that he's the president than Kamala. But

59
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: this is not for the average person. Some undying loyalty,

60
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: and they're not gonna just use deep pockets to help you.

61
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: I think it's a fool's errand by these people.

62
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: For a state senator position.

63
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: Right if you can get it, it pays seventy plus

64
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: a year, and it's a three month a year job, and

65
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: it's a great deal and you get all sorts of power.

66
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: I just think people that are viewing redistricting as some

67
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: sort of magic bullet are going to be sorely disappointed

68
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 1: in how this actually plays out come primary season next year.

69
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 2: So Copenhager said that for months Hoosiers have watched week

70
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 2: leadership in the state Senate failed to deliver redistricting plan

71
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: needed to keep America on the path that will deliver

72
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: affordability to American families.

73
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: Whoa, whoaa they have Paula And I know paul listens

74
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: to this show. What she was the Fountain County clerk,

75
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: right and I think she works for Mica beck With Now,

76
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: so like, why aren't they doing it? Now? Where's the affordability? Now?

77
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: If all this is about letting the Republicans keep control

78
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: of Congress, the Republicans have full control of Congress right now,

79
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: where is the affordability? Where is the plan for affordability? See,

80
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: this is not gonna fly with people because people are

81
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: gonna say, well, what are you gonna do? What are

82
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: they gonna do? What is two more Jefferson streams or

83
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: Jennifer Ruth Green's or or Aaron Houchins. What's that going

84
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: to do for affordability? You tell me what's the Republican plan. Casey,

85
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: if I were to ask you the Republican plan on

86
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: affordability in the Congress right now is well, what did jd.

87
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: Vance say? It was something about housing affordability was because

88
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: of immigration. And then you had the Treasury Secretary Vesince

89
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: say that the beef prices were high because of immigration.

90
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: It's something about See you didn't Yeah, you don't even

91
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: know what it is. It's a it's a it's a

92
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: worm and illegal immigrants coming through Mexico. That's the that's

93
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: the cause of everything. Of course, when it was the

94
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: birds with the bird flew and that was the price

95
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: of eggs, that was Biden's vault. See, this is my

96
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: point at all of this, like we are so desperate

97
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: in this country for people who will cut the bs

98
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: and actually lead and actually be honest. And so many

99
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: of these people who are now just oh, I'll run

100
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: for this or I'll run for that. It comes off

101
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: as very opportunistic. It's not going to be this magic

102
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: potion to win because the reality is these senators have

103
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: all built relationships, they spent years building infrastructure. The people

104
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: who are with them are not going to abandon them

105
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: over redistricting. It's just not that big a deal to

106
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: most people. The average person doesn't care at all. And

107
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: that's the reality on this. The polling shows that most people,

108
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: even if they have an opinion on it, they're not

109
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: super passionate about it. They're not motivated to vote on

110
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: it one way or another. And so how you're going

111
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: to beat an entrenched incumbent with relationships and money and

112
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: resources if your go to thing is some issue that

113
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: most people don't even care about.

114
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: I was talking to a friend of mine who's in

115
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: the media, so this is somebody who's pretty well informed.

116
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: She was like, you know, hey, how's it going, how's

117
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 2: the job, blah blah blah, And I said, oh, you know,

118
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: each day's just a new fun adventure and futility. And

119
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: her reply was, oh yeah, probably with the government shutdown.

120
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: It had nothing to do with what's going on in

121
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: Indiana with redistricting, had nothing to do with the election

122
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 2: that just happened. It was oh right, just a real

123
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 2: high level Oh yeah, government shutdown. That's that was that

124
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 2: person's vision and world of government.

125
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: One of the things that and look, this thing going

126
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: on with redistricting is entertaining or interesting, I guess I

127
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: would say, because you have the arguably the second most

128
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: powerful man in the state, the pro tem of the Senate,

129
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: in a high profile fight with the governor of the

130
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: state like in Indiana and the president well and the president,

131
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: which makes it even more interesting. But so that there's

132
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: like intrigue with that. But the actual issue you itself

133
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: is nothing for people because it doesn't affect them. Oh,

134
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: there's two more Republicans in Washington, Oh okay, or there's

135
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: not two more Republicans?

136
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: Was mayk it one more? Just naturally if they just

137
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: let it be well, they.

138
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: Could govern effectively. People would want to vote for them. Right.

139
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: That's the crazy thing. This Mervan district up near Chicago

140
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: that they're targeting. It's within range that if you gave

141
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: people compelling reason to go vote, you could win. They

142
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: don't do that, And you know, it's just crazy that

143
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: none of these people are like, hey man, maybe we

144
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: should just do our jobs better. Maybe we should just

145
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: give people a reason to believe in us. And so,

146
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: you know, what is front and center for people's the

147
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: price of food. What are the Indiana Republicans doing about

148
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: the price of food? Zero? You know, it is front

149
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: and center for people is the price of gas. Well,

150
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: gas has gone down because of a constricting economy, one

151
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: one of the highest gas taxes in the nation. Our

152
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: gas is much higher than other people's gas. What are

153
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: we doing about that? Nothing? Utility bills totally out of control.

154
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: What are they doing about that? Nothing? Like these are

155
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: things that people If I were running a campaign for

156
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: state Senate.

157
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: That would be your boogeyman, not the radical Democrats socialist agenda.

158
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: What's his name, Specter Deary. The guy's name, Spencer Deary.

159
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: That's his name, right, who's currently in She's looks a

160
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: challenging correct.

161
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Paula, you're going to lose if you run on

162
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: redistrict ing. Now you can run against this guy and

163
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: hit him on the property taxes, the gas taxes, the utilities,

164
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: the corruption and state government. All of that stuff is

165
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: what people care about, not this whether there's two more

166
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: Republicans in Washington.

167
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, well they're using the radical Democrats socialist agenda as

168
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 2: the boogeyman today.

169
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, that doesn't that doesn't work. So all right, So

170
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: now you got to go down there and new because

171
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: I gotta go do sports betting post.

172
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 2: So you go down there to me.

173
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people. I'll go down there and

174
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: join you.

175
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 2: Okay. Speaking of finances, forty six percent of gen Z

176
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: says they don't understand finances specifically cryptocurrency, thirty three percent

177
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: aren't sure about inflation or interest rates, and eight percent

178
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 2: don't know how many cents are in a dollar. Oh,

179
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 2: you're lying, No, this is a new study from who

180
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: you do? Birdie is who It doesn't matter who did

181
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: the study.

182
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: Does matter who did this study?

183
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: You do? Birdie is the name of the platform, But it's.

184
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 1: A bunch of old people who hate young people, and

185
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: it's out in the sphere of the old people. It

186
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: does matter. Wait, so what's the number?

187
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: What they say? Eight percent of gen Z don't know

188
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 2: how many cents are in a dollar, thirty three percent

189
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 2: so a third aren't sure about inflation or interest rates.

190
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: What this article is saying is that gen Z may

191
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 2: know how to navigate TikTok with these but when it

192
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 2: comes to finances, they're lacking. They don't know how to finance,

193
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: they don't know how to budget.

194
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: You're telling me eight out of every one hundred people

195
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: in gen Z can't tell you. There's one hundred pennies

196
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: and a dollar. Correct, Whoo, We're done, Just fold it up,

197
00:09:58,800 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: it's over.

198
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: Well, there's this into it for Education initiative and their

199
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: goal is to have fifty million students with financial literacy

200
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: by the year twenty thirty.

201
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: You mean know how many pennies are in a dollar?

202
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: Huh? And wasn't it Florida who said who put in

203
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: that financial literacy course that you can't graduate high school

204
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 2: until you pass this class? I believe there's eighteen states

205
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: that have that. Now what an Indiana's not one of them?

206
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: What an indictment on the public education system that eight

207
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: out of one hundred gen Z kids can't tell you

208
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: how many pennies are in a dollar?

209
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: Correct?

210
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: That's not economics, that's math, right, it's like math.

211
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, And you're hitting.

212
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: The nail on the head though. This is the biggest issue,

213
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: which is if they can't even math, how are you

214
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: going to how do they plan?

215
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 2: Yeah?

216
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, how do you pay bills? How do you you know?

217
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 1: How do you anything? I gotta even function? Like that's

218
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: the foreign to me, the idea that you couldn't know

219
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: that that there's one hundred pennies and a dollar. It's

220
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: just we're toast. It's just starting to pack it up

221
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: as a country. If that, how do you I mean.

222
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 2: If you're not and we're hearing, how you know in

223
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 2: bad shape? Gen Z is going to be social Security

224
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 2: running out and housing out of reach. But it does

225
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 2: exp Now they can't even math, but.

226
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: It does explain to you how guys like Mandamie get elected.

227
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: Then if they can't even have any pennies earn a dollar,

228
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: how are they gonna like do anything but buy his

229
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: bs on economics?

230
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: Right? Just let the government take care of you. Yeah,

231
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: but if they give it to you, they also can

232
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 2: take it away.

233
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: That's crazy.

234
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 2: Kind of like Casey, it's ninety three WYBC.

235
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: Okay, Casey, I need you to help me win some money.

236
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: You got it.

237
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: We're closing in. They wrapping up the year on our

238
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: Degenerate sports betting podcast, which you can get anywhere you

239
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: get your podcast. It's myself Hammer and we have two

240
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: pros that compete with us. I'm within striking distance of

241
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: winning the college football congratulations, but I really got to

242
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: run the table today or this week. So wait. It

243
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: works as we get a game of the week and

244
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: then we pick our own game and I'm going to

245
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: go back to the old tried and true because we

246
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: had some success with this of letting you pick the

247
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: Notre Dame game. Oh okay, For those who don't know,

248
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: Casey spent years as a broadcaster in South ben you

249
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: had season tickets for many years to the Notre Dame games.

250
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: So Notre Dame is playing at home against Syracuse on Saturday. Okay,

251
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: the spread Notre Dame is a thirty five and a

252
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: half point favorite. Okay, So five touchdowns plus a half

253
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: a point and the over under it in the ball

254
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: game is fifty and a half points. Oh boy, So

255
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: you can either take the over under, or you can

256
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: take Notre Dame laying thirty five and a half points

257
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: or Syracuse getting thirty five and a half points.

258
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: Day. Syracuse has only won two games, two games all year.

259
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 2: Now games, by the way, your four care not ranked?

260
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 2: Are they no very much not ranked? They're not very good.

261
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: Hence the thirty five and a half point favorite. Now,

262
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: your weather forecast for Saturday is partly cloudy with a

263
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: high in near fifty degrees or partly stunning with a

264
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: high in your fifty degrees at kickoff time?

265
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 2: Okay, which times kickoff is three thirty three, thirty three

266
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: thirty Okay. You know you're going to have that sun

267
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: setting halfway through the game. Temp is going to drop

268
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: halfway through. So if Notre Dame comes out strong in

269
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 2: the first two quarters, I think you're set. Let's go

270
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: with the points. Notre Dame.

271
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: We like Notre Dame laying thirty five and a half points.

272
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we're in.

273
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: Okay, very good, thank you.

274
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: They're going to have to do it though, quick, which

275
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 2: they will.

276
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: That's why I believe I owe you two US dollars

277
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: correct before you're correct.

278
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 2: Huh, or two hundred pennies.

279
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: I'm I'm writing this down here. I'm sending my picks

280
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: to hammer here. So we're we are. We are take

281
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: Notre Name laying thirty five and a half.

282
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: Yeah good, Okay, that's an easy one.

283
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: Speaking of paychecks, finances, money, it's not good.

284
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 2: Nearly a quarter of US households live paycheck to paycheck

285
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 2: twenty five percent. Now, this is a growing share of

286
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: lower income Americans. They're definitely struggling to get by financially.

287
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: Wages are stagnant, inflation on the rise.

288
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: That is a recipe for disaster. Wages, stagnant, prices on

289
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: the rise. Yeah, And so what that means is literally

290
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: every day you are worth less than you were the

291
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: day before. And you know what's fascinating is we're reaching

292
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: a point and nobody's really talking about this yet. But

293
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: even what I call the secondary job market is getting

294
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: kind of tied out there. Like every so often I

295
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: just peruse the secondary job market like kind of what

296
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: I call part time. I mean for some people their

297
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: full time jobs, but for a lot of people, they

298
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: would be like a secondary we're at a hardware store

299
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: or you know, Walmart or whatever, and even the secondary

300
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: job market out there tight, which would a lot of

301
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: times you gos be like, well, worst case scenario, go

302
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: get a second job. Like for two years I worked

303
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: golf course with bartender, ran the pro shop, something to

304
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: do in the evenings and weekends before my daughter was born,

305
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: and like that was that was a fun. I love golf,

306
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: it was a fun. I liked the job, like the

307
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: people made decent money, a fun secondary job. But I

308
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: looked at other jobs as well, and a lot of

309
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: those jobs aren't out there right now. And the other

310
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: thing is they aren't paying what they were paying a

311
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, so it's very interesting, which means

312
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: more people are desiring those jobs.

313
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 2: Inflation rose to three percent in twenty twenty five this year,

314
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 2: and it dipped a little but back on its way up.

315
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 2: So the gap is just winding right. And you had

316
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: a lot of wage growth during the pandemic for low

317
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 2: wage workers and that's now leveling.

318
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: All.

319
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

320
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: You know what's fascinating is during the panic, I actually

321
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: went and interviewed for now. Ultimately I decided I just

322
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: couldn't make it work. But a major package provider in

323
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: this country and in a warehouse because like I don't

324
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: I don't want a job where I like have any

325
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: real responsibility just might be kind of fun. Because it

326
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: was like, is radio even going to survive the pandemic?

327
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: All that is, well, I'll be good to have something

328
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: you'll fall down.

329
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: Radio did pretty well well, people were at home listening.

330
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: Well yeah, but it was like financially it was so

331
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: because of advertising everything. I thought, well, we have something

332
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: good to fall back on this injury level, Like warehouse

333
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: job was paying twenty four dollars an hour. They could

334
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: not get people in there, and that same job now

335
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: I notice pays like eighteen dollars as an entry level posession.

336
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 2: Right. Well, that's because everybody had to order everything right

337
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: to be delivered, right ye, Like now they can leave.

338
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: I should get in on that.

339
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 2: You kind of wonder though, like you know the third

340
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: spaces that seem to be disappearing.

341
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and so my point of all that is,

342
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: if you are getting stretched, even find a second job

343
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: to elevate yourself from what you're not getting with your first,

344
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that's like your recipe is a disaster because

345
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: not only as your buying power being diluted, not unless

346
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: your financial position being diluted. But you can't You're going

347
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: to struggle now to even find a secondary position to

348
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: be able to elevate that pay.

349
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 2: I've seen a lot of people that are highly qualified

350
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: for it posting how they got turned down of a

351
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 2: part time job at Target or wherever. You know, like, really,

352
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 2: I can't even get that job. It's uh discouraging, it's

353
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: it's it is tough.

354
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: I mean, then you feel bad about yourself because you're like, really,

355
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: I'm not call by to work at Target.

356
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 2: And then that's where the job hugging comes into play,

357
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 2: where people would rather be doing something else but they decideh,

358
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 2: I better stay where I am. Yeah, because it's pretty

359
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 2: tight out there. So there's an AI podcasting machine they

360
00:17:58,720 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 2: have to talk about.

361
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: It's all over for us.

362
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 2: Churning out over three thousand episodes a week.

363
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: Oh, Kevin, it's been great working with.

364
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 2: And people are listening. We've got the data coming up

365
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: on ninety three WIBC.

366
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: That's too funny.

367
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 2: What are you laughing at?

368
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:28,959
Speaker 1: Well, you sent this over to me. Oh Adam Wren

369
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: from Political and Importantville is at the state House. He

370
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: has tweeted the photo. The rally was supposed to start

371
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: at eleven. This tweet was dated eleven sixteen. He said, quote,

372
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: only a few dozen people have showed up at the

373
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: pro redistricting rally at the Indiana State House.

374
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like there's more camera men and newspeople

375
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: there than actual rally go.

376
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: He has supposed a photo. Now, maybe everybody's just late

377
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: to the party, but this is another example of when

378
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: the public was given an opportunity to show how four

379
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,959
Speaker 1: redistricting they are, and at least as of what appears

380
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: to be eleven sixteen, nobody's there. Okay, I mean, how

381
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: many times I have to see this. We keep telling,

382
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: We're keeping told how all these people are for this,

383
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: all these people want this, all these people are in

384
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 1: favor of it, and they never show up anything.

385
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 2: So Nikki Kelly, also from Indiana Capitol Chronicle, also tweeted

386
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 2: out a few dozen pro districting hoosiers gathering red at

387
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: the Indiana State House. Secretary of State Diego Morales and

388
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 2: Lieutenant Governor Micah Beck was stopped.

389
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: By Diego Morales. Was he seen shouting I paid for

390
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: India redistrict of State. I paid for India.

391
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 2: I pay He's standing on his tippy toes, and you know,

392
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 2: what's what? How is? How is the news going to

393
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 2: report this? Because when we have the rally and we

394
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 2: know the head count because the Indiana State Police told

395
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 2: us it was over one thousand, it was reported that

396
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 2: there were a smattering of people, and then with this

397
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 2: it's you know, we're seeing pictures where there's a couple dozen.

398
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 2: Is it going to be thousands?

399
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: Well, I mean there's always going to be a boogeyman.

400
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: So what will the left wing conspiracy be that kept

401
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: people at home? Like? What what's the new?

402
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 2: The rain?

403
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,479
Speaker 1: You know, like like traffic, it's again I come back

404
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: to what we've been saying for months on this program,

405
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: and how many times do you have to see because

406
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: there's always some nahuh, Like there's been four or five

407
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: public polls, multiple done by Republican affiliated pollsters that show

408
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: people don't want it. And then you hear, now I

409
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: can't trust the poles. I didn't get pulled. Well that's

410
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: not how this works, right, But that that didn't work.

411
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: Then we have the town halls, nobody shows up. Well,

412
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: that's not a reflection of the people. Okay, Well then

413
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: we'll have a rally. Well, you know, twenty people are there.

414
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: That doesn't matter, Like how many times you have to

415
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: see this? Like, just because you don't like the result

416
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's not real. Where we at a rally,

417
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: thousand people came. The people showed up, right, because people

418
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: were passionate about it. They didn't even respond to that, right,

419
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: But they're like, how many times do we have to see?

420
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: People just don't care about this issue. Even the people

421
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: who are for it are not motivated by it. And

422
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: this is why Rod Bray and the Senate are not

423
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: moving on this because there's no upside for them to

424
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: do it. Because the people who are barking. Most of

425
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: them don't live in their district, can't vote for them

426
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: or against them.

427
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 2: The comments on X with like the DC Draino type

428
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 2: of people. You are here with an arrow. According to Florida.

429
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: These these senators do not fear d C. Draino. They

430
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: don't fear the what's the guy's name in Pennsylvania, Scott Presley.

431
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: They're not worried about that's not happening.

432
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 2: He's in Washington State right now.

433
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: Okay, where whatever?

434
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 3: You know.

435
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: It's like, where in the world is Carmen San Diego?

436
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: Right wherever the guy is. They're not worried about any

437
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: of that. They're worried about their district. They're worried about

438
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: They're not even worried about things that are important to

439
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: their district. They're not even worried about things that are

440
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: important to their district, like a affording life. You think

441
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna care about redistricting. It's just it's always been

442
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: an exercise in futility. This stuff does more harm than

443
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: good because now they see nobody cared enough to show up.

444
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: What are we doing here?

445
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's over so an AI podcasting machine churning out

446
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: three thousand episodes a week and rob bad news people

447
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: are listening.

448
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: Uh oh.

449
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 2: This is called Inception Point AI. It's a startup. They

450
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: started with eight employees and they produce three thousand AI

451
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 2: generated episodes per week. They already have at least one

452
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy five thousand AI podcasts episodes about what

453
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 2: well they have different things. Okay, they have one hundred

454
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 2: and twenty different host personas. These aren't real people, so

455
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 2: they're personas. And these personas have backstories, flaws, humors, and

456
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 2: they range from different things. For example, there's one host

457
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 2: persona named Kai who is a confidence coach. This persona

458
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 2: has a British voice and offers short self help episodes.

459
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 2: There's another one, Vivian Steele, which is celeb Confidential, and

460
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 2: this one covers celebrity gossip but apparently has a robotic tone.

461
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: There's a an episode of the Office where they put

462
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: they finally put the you know this is whatever ten

463
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: to fifteen years ago, but they finally put the ability

464
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: to buy paper online, and it's dwighte As convinced he

465
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: can beat the computer, and so the whole day is

466
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: him just working as hard as he possibly can to

467
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: beat the computer and they keep a tally, and of

468
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: course it's the office, so there's all sorts of ridiculous

469
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: stuff happening. But is that where we're at now?

470
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 2: Is where we're going?

471
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: Am I Dwight? And I'm now fighting?

472
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 2: You're trying to beat the comor computer? I think? So.

473
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 2: Episodes cost just one dollar each to produce, and this

474
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 2: company will make a profit if only twenty people listen

475
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 2: to an episode.

476
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're done as a country, right.

477
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 2: So they say. The topics range from localized weather and

478
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 2: pollen trackers to biographies and also cultural events. What they

479
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 2: do is they have AI scan the Internet for ideas

480
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 2: and then a human team will pair topics with the

481
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 2: personalities and just with a few prompts boop, produce an episode.

482
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: No, no, no, have you heard any of these? Is there

483
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:29,959
Speaker 1: any passion from these people?

484
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 2: The reports are that the hosts, the personas have a

485
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 2: very monotone delivery, right, and very robotics. Some of them

486
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 2: even have Instagram pages to go along with it.

487
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: Who would follow an Instagram page of a not real person?

488
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,719
Speaker 2: Yeah? People do? People do? So this company is on

489
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 2: track to produce one hundred and fifty thousand episodes by

490
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 2: the end of this year. Okay, so critics, of course

491
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 2: they're calling it AI slop.

492
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: Right, right, I've said and I maintain that AI cannot

493
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: recreate my DNA. AI cannot recreate my life experience. AI

494
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: cannot recreate my DNA, my life experience, my passion, my drive,

495
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: my thing that motivates me every day to produce this,

496
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: to put together this. Well, you put together radio show.

497
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: I show up and talk on this radio show, right,

498
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: like I can't keV produces you put it together. I

499
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: just show up and talk. But they but like you

500
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: know what I'm.

501
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 2: Saying, AI is not going to stomach ache over it.

502
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: But that's the point. So you can't do that, but

503
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: it is keV. This would be a question for you

504
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: if you knew a woman was fake, would you follow

505
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: the Instagram account? No?

506
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 2: No, Right, that seems pretty pointless to right.

507
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: But there are people who do that, Right, they have

508
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: AI girlfriends or they have a robot girlfriends or Right.

509
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 2: So, why there's a country music artist that's all AI

510
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 2: when it's getting millions of listens?

511
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: What joy would you get in listening to a show

512
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: in which there's no human experience because part of talk

513
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: radio or podcasting or whatever whoever you're listening to, is

514
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: it's sort of like with music, right, their expections. Yeah,

515
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: their experience is reflected in the content, and there's no

516
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: experience reflected in this content. It's just it's not even real.

517
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: So who would do that, who would invest in that?

518
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: Who's that lonely for companionship.

519
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 2: Or just needing the noise in the background. So, this

520
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 2: company's podcast listenership five hundred and eighty four million listeners

521
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 2: this past year, and they're projected to get six hundred

522
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 2: and nineteen million listens next year.

523
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: It's all over.

524
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: You're gonna be okay, I'll be fine.

525
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: I mean I told you I'm going to prepare for

526
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: a career to Windy's or you know, carrying boxes somewhere. Ibbi. Fine.

527
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 2: So do you remember back in the inauguration when Baron

528
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 2: Trump leaned in and he shook Joe Biden's hand and

529
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 2: the exchange some words. Yes, the moment went viral. People

530
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 2: were speculating on what he said to him. They had

531
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 2: lip reading people experts come in to try and decipher

532
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 2: what Baron Trump said to Joe Biden at the inauguration. Yes,

533
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 2: Eric Trump asked his brother and finally got the answer.

534
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 3: You remember that whole controversy where he went up to

535
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:27,479
Speaker 3: Biden rights and they had all these they had all

536
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 3: these like lip reading experts, and they just you know,

537
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 3: and they're like, Baron just told Biden to go f himself.

538
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: Like So one night I'm very close to Baron. I

539
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: love Baron death right.

540
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 3: One night I called Baron, I go, buddy, look what

541
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 3: did you actually say? And he goes, you know, like

542
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,239
Speaker 3: it was something so polite I almost wouldn't even get

543
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 3: it right, but like, you know, congratulations and you know,

544
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 3: best of luck to you or something like that, something

545
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 3: very respectful.

546
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 2: Wasn't controversial at all.

547
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: Got disappointing it.

548
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know right where you were hoping for something

549
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 2: a little bit more sellacious. Yeah, it's kind of like Casey,

550
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 2: it's ninety three WIBC.

551
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: That photo for Nicki Kelly looks like something out of

552
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: like Mad magazine. Yeah, that's pathetic. So obviously we talked

553
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: about last segment. Nobody showed up to this rally today

554
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: for Redistrict dat.

555
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say nobody, but it was a small It

556
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 2: was a smattering, a small gathering, like a.

557
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: Couple dozen people. Is what the estimates they put at.

558
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: And there's a photo of Nikki Kelly from the Capitol

559
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: Chronicle as of Diego. They've got it right, like bunch

560
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: together right. So they've tried to like, Okay, this is

561
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: gonna be on TV. So everybody just scrunching to make

562
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: it look like there's some people there, and it's Diego.

563
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if he' shouting.

564
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 2: Got paid for Indian fake WIBC.

565
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's shouting about. But Mike is

566
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: standing next to him looking like he's ready to strangle

567
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: the guy. Micah hasn't looked this displeased with Diego since

568
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: they ended up next to that high profile known felon

569
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: at the NBA Finals together and what a colossal bomb

570
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: this whole thing was.

571
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 2: Do you want to talk about the new once mighty

572
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 2: steakhouse that got down to seventy four locations is now

573
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 2: looking at a comeback. I never went to this place,

574
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 2: did you?

575
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: You never went to a sizzler?

576
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 2: No? Never, really, I've never been to a sizzler like ever.

577
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: No, in South Ben they have a sizzler up in

578
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: South Ben. I thought, I recall, have you ever been

579
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: to a Sizzler.

580
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 2: I've never been to the Sizzler. They used to have

581
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 2: over seven hundred and seventy restaurants nationwide. All you can

582
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 2: eat salad bar apparently. Yeah, and the cheese toast. That's

583
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: just the thing.

584
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: I feel like the Sizzler kind of went out in

585
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: the early nineties. I'm when I was a kid, I

586
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: like a small child. I definitely remember them.

587
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 2: Wood paneled booths in a Tiffany style lamp. Did they

588
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 2: Did you ever have the soft served ice cream that

589
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: they served?

590
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, it was thirty years ago. Case it

591
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: was in like some.

592
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 2: Well apparently that's what they're known for.

593
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: Probably maybe. I mean it's like something in trench into

594
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: my mind. Who was like a restaurant I went to.

595
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: I think that Sizzler was long ago enough that they

596
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: had smoking in the sizzl that's like that. So I remember,

597
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: like young people like smoking. What but most people will

598
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: remember when CAVERI you old enough to remember when people

599
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: you're thirty, Are you old to remember when people could

600
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: smoke in a restaurant?

601
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 2: I think I was a very small child when they

602
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 2: could still do it. Do you remember when McDonald's used

603
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 2: to have ash trays? The little gold ash trays was

604
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 2: just like in the fifties. No, you don't remember that,

605
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 2: do you. What are you saying, Yeah, you'd be able

606
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 2: to smoke a McDonald.

607
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: Here's some ash for your happy meal, Junior.

608
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 2: They said, have gold ash trays.

609
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: So Sizzler. But like I said, I think Sizzler was

610
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: as a kid the late eighties, early nights. I never

611
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,959
Speaker 1: remember them being around. What happened? They just went out

612
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: of business.

613
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 2: Well, they say, you know, the shifting taste of people,

614
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 2: and plus says in their food was right, plus competition

615
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: from places like Applebee's and Outback Steakhouse led to their

616
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 2: decline in the nineties. They filed for bankruptcy twice, once

617
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 2: in ninety six from once in twenty twenty.

618
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: So nice, we did it twice and they only.

619
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 2: Had seventy for locations by twenty ten. But they're remodeling

620
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 2: now and the sales that they're remodeled stores all seventy

621
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 2: four of them have jumped up to seventy or to

622
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 2: forty seven percent increase. So now Sizzler apparently is on

623
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 2: the comeback.

624
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, isn't it interesting? There were sort of expanding these

625
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: restaurants that were staples of that era, right, like that

626
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: I remember as a kid that are I mean, they

627
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: may in some capacity to be around, but certainly not

628
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: any sort of prominence. The freshest Big Boy was a

629
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: big one. The Ponderosa was a big one. The Sizzler

630
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: Shonies was another. Yeah, all of those kind of disappeared,

631
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: even though they may exist somewhere. And I believe we

632
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: should bring as much of the nineteen eighties back as

633
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: we possibly can. You need to heartedly support the return

634
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: of the Sizzler.

635
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, well maybe they will so if Chili's can do

636
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 2: it right, Sizzlers can well.

637
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: But he made a good point in the YouTube chat.

638
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: Another thing you don't see very much of anymore now.

639
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: You do the like what's the big buffet? You don't

640
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: see it as nearly all Gold Corral, Thank you is

641
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: the is the big one, But you don't see very

642
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: many Like the old Country Buffet was a big one.

643
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: That's largely disappeared. I guess just the cost of food

644
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: has gotten so immense that what you would have to

645
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: charge people in order to turn some sort of profit

646
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: just isn't doable unless you're buying it on such an

647
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: immense scale that you have some sort of local buffet.

648
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: It's just not feasible.

649
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 2: And I gotta believe the restaurant business has always operated

650
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 2: on razor thin margins.

651
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, yeah yeah, but.

652
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 2: Now it's got to be even harder. Now.

653
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: I wonder does the KFC buffet still exists, Like the

654
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: Brownsburg KFC does not have a buffet, but for yours,

655
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: the one in Avon did. And I wonder if the

656
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: one in Avon still has a buffet that buffet. Yeah,

657
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: there was a KFC. Oh yeah.

658
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 2: You don't walk up to the counter, no no.

659
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: No, I mean you pay, but then there's a buffet

660
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: and you just get your food there, like the one

661
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: in Brazil Indiana. Because the great thing you think about

662
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: Brazil Indiana known fact, other than being the home.

663
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 4: Of uh Henly Summer by the Hope of the Honeysuckle

665
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 4: that it had for years a very nice public golf course.

666
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 2: And did you play at it?

667
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, and then and then at a KFC

668
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: with the buffet right next to it, so you could

669
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: go play at the very nice public golf course there

670
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: in Brazil, and then uh which is a great bill.

671
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 2: You go to the KFC, befect, go and get your
