1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: This is the Kendall and Casey Show, ninety three WIBC. 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: My name is Craig Collins, filling in. 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 2: Thrilled to be with you. 4 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: A bunch of stuff out there to talk about. 5 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 2: In the news. 6 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,399 Speaker 1: You heard a report in the sports about how Philip 7 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: Rivers is unlikely to play the last game of the 8 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 1: season for the Colts. They're going to let Riley Leonard play. 9 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: It's not a big sports take, it's just a simple one. 10 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: Let the man play. The season's over. The Colts were 11 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: eliminated before they even played this past weekend, so let 12 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,319 Speaker 1: Rivers play one more game. 13 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 2: Man. 14 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: It's been fun to watch him, even if some of 15 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: the throws have been terrible, and if that late interception 16 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: was also not a good throw by any set of 17 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: professional standards. 18 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 2: Just come on, like, one more. 19 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 1: Game for Philip, a guy who's having a blast as 20 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: he helped the Colts get eliminated from the playoffs and 21 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: has gone zero to three so far as a starter. 22 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 2: Just give him one more. 23 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: You know, Riley Leonard has already been sat on the 24 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: bench more than he probably should have been, and injuries 25 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: were supposedly the reason why. Who cares, man, Just let 26 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: the dude, play one more game. That's my take in 27 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: the world of the cults and football, and how sad 28 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: it is that that team fell apart, only the third 29 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: team in the history of the NFL since the playoffs 30 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: were expanded to twelve teams to start eight and two 31 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: and not make the playoffs is not a good look. 32 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: So yes, just let the guy play. It's the most 33 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: fun story in sports right now to me. All right now, 34 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: getting into politics, Scott Jennings said something on CNN last 35 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: night that I thought was pretty interesting. This is a 36 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: take about California and how they're going to tax more billionaires. 37 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: This is something that's always popular for Democrats to say. 38 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: Whether or not they actually do it is another thing, 39 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: And whether or not there's loopholes that help people not 40 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: actually pay these taxes another thing entirely. And of course, 41 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: also just vilifying people who are successful seems like a 42 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: bad strategy since those successful people might just leave the 43 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: state you're in. But Jennings had an interesting take as 44 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: to why he thinks this is happening, and it feels 45 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: like it's very much inspired by what's going on in 46 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: Minnesota and a lot of other places. And I'll tell 47 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: you how that relates to Indiana in just a second. 48 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: But first here, let's play this. Let's play what Jennings 49 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: said on CNN about the craziness of California turning on 50 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: the uber wealthy there. 51 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 3: It's not a it's not a millionaire tax. It's a 52 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 3: billionaire tax. 53 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: And the idea would be, I guess, to use that 54 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 2: revenue in order to offer improvements for the average Californian. 55 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 3: Worth debating why why pick a billion? Why in Washington 56 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 3: did you pick a million? Why don't Why don't you 57 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 3: pick nine hundred and ninetynine thousand, nine hundred? Why not 58 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 3: pick five hundred thousand? Why pick five percent? 59 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: Why not six? Why not ten? 60 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 3: Why not twenty? Why not fifty? 61 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 2: The thing is, it's. 62 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 3: All arbitrary, just to attack people that we hate, and 63 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 3: it is not for the public benefit. In California, the 64 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 3: state auditor just found seventy billion dollars in fraud going 65 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 3: on in this state. The reason they need a wealth 66 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 3: tax is to cover up the fraud. The hole in 67 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 3: the budget in California is due to fraud. That's why 68 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:58,239 Speaker 3: they're trying to tax. 69 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: When you visit, everybody's yelled him. Now, so I'm good. 70 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: I'm good on that seventy billion. You know what's crazy 71 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: is if you look up the numbers for our country 72 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: as a whole. Because the amount of money out of 73 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: Minnesota right now seems staggering a couple billion dollars, but 74 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: the United States per year has an amount of government 75 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: fraud that is in the hundreds of billions of dollars. 76 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: And that's just the cost of doing business, according to 77 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: the organizations that audit this kind of stuff. Yes, we'd 78 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: like to catch them all, Yes, we'd like to get 79 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: them all in as much trouble as humanly possible, But 80 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: apparently we're also just going to accept it, which is 81 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: the biggest reason why. 82 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 2: And you and I don't have to accept it. 83 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: I don't accept it, but the people in positions of power, unfortunately, 84 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: are going to continue to not be able to catch 85 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: all of it, or even a small percentage of it 86 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: in a lot of these cases. But the biggest reason 87 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: why I tell people all the time that the solution 88 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: to your problem is not the government is this is 89 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: this exact demonstration of it. Now, how does any of 90 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: this relate to Indiana? Several people have started to talk 91 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: about the changes that have been made to Medicaid. Medicare 92 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: a lot of things in Indiana over the course of 93 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: the last year. This is stuff where the leadership like 94 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: Mike Brown in Indiana were really attacked for the changes 95 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: that they were making by people on the left, by 96 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: people that are crazy Democrats, because they were saying it 97 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: was going to make it too hard for the victims 98 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: that need these sort of services to get the things 99 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: they need. Things like simply requiring people to demonstrate their 100 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 1: trying to work or that they might be working at 101 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: least part time in order to qualify for some of 102 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: these benefits were hateful out of some But right now, 103 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: the biggest focus is how much better off Indiana is 104 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: than Minnesota, a state very close to it, because of 105 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: the changes that were made and the likelihood that fraud 106 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: was removed much more from the equation in one place 107 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: than in another place. So that goes to the very 108 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: easy discussion point here, having a deterrent is more important 109 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: than over allowing something to be accessible, because you claim 110 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: that with the deterurn in place, you're hurting people that 111 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: deserve something. That is always the back and forth, the 112 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: yin and yang of this discussion, as the people on 113 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: the left will say somehow you've harmed some innocent person here. 114 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: They did that a lot when they talked about certain 115 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: voting law changes in places like Georgia. If you remember, 116 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: they called certain things Jim Crow two point zero and 117 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: then the outcome of an election after they did that 118 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: was that more black people voted than had ever voted 119 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: before in an election. So it seemed like the Jim 120 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: Crow two point h narrative failed. But they do that 121 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: everywhere no matter what it is. And in Indiana the 122 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: same thing, the same discussion about how you're being unfair 123 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: to people that need certain social services in order to survive, 124 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: and that if you don't ease these restrictions, then there 125 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: are people who are not going to get access to 126 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: the things they need of the long wait lists for 127 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: medicaid and whatnot are usually an example of this. But 128 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: which one would you prefer? Because at the end of 129 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: the day, and I will say it this way, the 130 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: amount of fraud that you have is going to impact 131 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: the ability for you to do good things to other people. 132 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: Those individuals who you say might be stuck in a 133 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: waiting list because they don't qualify for benefits the way 134 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: that they should qualify for benefits. 135 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: If the restrictions were different, a. 136 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: Lot of those people might also be without any money 137 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: when they're not at the front of the line because 138 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: they're not the fraudsters, and a lot of them might 139 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 1: actually just be the fraudsters. 140 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 2: That's the other component to it. It matters. 141 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: But I think that this is truly a significant discussion, 142 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: and honestly, like this simple logic can be applied to anything. 143 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: When you talk about the difference in the border from 144 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: the past administration to this one, and the strength of 145 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: the deterrent that's being used, whether that deterrent is deporting people. 146 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: And I have this conversation a lot with people, mostly 147 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: because I'm married to someone from another country, about the 148 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 1: mean or the lack of compassion. And they say in 149 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: a lot of the polls that a lot of Americans 150 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: now feel this way about some deportation news. They've heard 151 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: that it goes too far, that it's too much, that 152 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: it's this or that. And I think the thing that 153 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: people fail to understand is the need for the deterrent 154 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: to be believed by the people who take advantage of 155 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: the system, And does that mean occasionally that you might 156 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: have to go a little bit more extreme than say 157 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: even you would want to. I mean, I recall something 158 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: from Trump's first term in office where they were talking 159 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: about the kids in cages stuff, and eventually Trump relented 160 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: on something the separation of families, you know, adults and 161 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: children at the border who are being apprehended there had 162 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: changed it and he said Malania told them to and whatnot. 163 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: But I remember at the time what Trump said to 164 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: the American people was that you have a heart and 165 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: you have a brain, and as even a leader in 166 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: our country. And people don't remember that Trump said this 167 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: because it's authentic and it's human, and it's you know, 168 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: the kind of thing other people might say, so disregard 169 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: that it happened. But anyway, the brain wants you to 170 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: do one thing, and the heart might want you to 171 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: do something else. People take advantage of our hearts all 172 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: the time in every aspect of the world. There are 173 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: people out there who want to do it. And especially 174 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: and again I don't mean to rant on this, but 175 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: I will when people live in this country without a 176 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: need to respect the values of the country they're in, 177 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: meaning they came here without going through the process legally 178 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: to become a citizen, to be asked to care about 179 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: our value system, and might even actually feel like they're 180 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: here intent to take advantage of the place they're in. 181 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: Refugees from Somalia are one example of people who may potentially, 182 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: I'm not saying all of them feel this way, but 183 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: may potentially feel as though the place they're in is 184 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: a place that they don't want to be in, and 185 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: the place they came from is a place they wish 186 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: was better, and so why not just take advantage of 187 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: this rich place there. You know, it's interesting. I'll tell 188 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: this a different way, and it's anecdotal. And as I'm 189 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: saying this, and I know the objection that people are 190 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: going to say to it, it's all crazy. This is 191 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: my own personal life. When I got married to my wife, 192 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 1: we got married in Mexico. It's very important to her 193 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: to be married near her family. We threw a party there. 194 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: Of course, we paid for it, the wedding and the reception. 195 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: And the funny thing is, like early on, I was 196 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: in my mid twenties, so I'm not making a bunch 197 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: of and I'm in radio, so I wasn't making a 198 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: bunch of money at all. But no one brought us 199 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: a gift at our wedding, like nobody the entire I 200 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: think maybe one person who was ashamed of the gift 201 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: they brought. And when I asked my wife why, later 202 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: she found out that most of her family assumed I 203 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: was rich because I'm an American, because I was, you know, 204 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: marrying into the family from elsewhere. So they just assumed 205 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: that I was so wealthy that how dare they even 206 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: give me gifts. There's even a thing a tradition at 207 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: Mexican weddings called the dollar dance, which is where you 208 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: come up and dance with the bride and groom and 209 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: you like give them dollars. They get pinned, I think, 210 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: to your jacket or something. There's some version of that. 211 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: It's kind of silly. I think I've seen it before. 212 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: They didn't do it for us, for me and my wife, 213 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: because again, they just assumed we're rich. And so there 214 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: are people who come from other countries with very negative 215 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: opinions of the United States who wind up living here 216 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: and have every desire to take advantage of it because 217 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: they feel entitled to do it. They feel like they're 218 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: allowed to harm this country that they think is unfairly 219 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: in a place that they're not in and so I 220 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: think that that does matter, that does deserve to be 221 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: talked about, and it seems to be at the heart 222 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: of some of the fraud going on, because when you 223 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: do fraud in the world of like daycres or autism 224 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,319 Speaker 1: treatment or health care for the elderly, you really don't 225 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: care about the optics of what you're doing about the 226 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 1: people you're hurting about, the people who might actually need 227 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: this sort of thing. And so again, to go back 228 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: to the discussion from the changes that have been made 229 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: in the last year or so in Indiana, the prevention 230 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: mechanism is sometimes far more important to the value of 231 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: something than actually the mercy or the forgiving nature of 232 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: whatever the system is you're putting in place, because of 233 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: how many bad actors are out there with every interest, 234 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: every intention, and even a lot of motivation to do 235 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: something to harm you. All right, we'll take a break 236 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: a lot more in a very short amount of time left. 237 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 2: We only got about forty five minutes left in the show. 238 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: Craig Collins filling in on Kendlan Casey ninety three WIBC. 239 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,359 Speaker 1: This is the Kendall and Casey Show, ninety three WIBC. 240 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: My name is Craig Collins filling in Thrilled to be 241 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: with You. Producer Kylan is working on special assignment as well. 242 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,119 Speaker 2: Over the holidays. 243 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: Y'all hiring was a viral reaction to a video that 244 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: went out online. A boss bought all of his employees 245 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: actual Christmas gifts, like fancy stuff, whether it was gift 246 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: cards to places. Somebody got a flat screen television. Other 247 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: people got like video game systems and stuff. But I 248 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: guess the boss of a smaller company somewhere in this 249 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: country I decided to go big on Christmas and buy 250 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: people actual presents. I think all the presents were capable 251 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: of being exchanged if you didn't want the thing to 252 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: but lots of stuff, thousands of dollars worth of things. 253 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: And so the reaction was, why don't more employers do this? 254 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: I have a couple sort of funny things in reaction 255 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: to this, But I'm wondering what Kylon thinks of an 256 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: actual Christmas where there's like a tree and then you 257 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: get real gifts from an employer. 258 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 4: I didn't. There's an actual tree that he brought in 259 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 4: and everything. 260 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, he put the presents under a tree. People's names 261 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: were on them. They opened them at the tail end 262 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 1: of the workday the day before they had a break 263 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: for Christmas, and they all got actual gifts inside the boxes. 264 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 5: Foam. 265 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: How lovely, right, how over the top and ridiculous, but 266 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 1: also wonderful and honestly probably something that nobody else is 267 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: going to do, but definitely a fun thing that happened. 268 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 5: Recognition is deserved and across many different business industries. Taylor 269 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 5: Swift just made headlines of Yesterday's and I saw the story. 270 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 5: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey were seen during the Christmas 271 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 5: Day game Arahead Stadium.

There you go. 282 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: Well, it reminds me of the time that I was 283 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: working for a guy at w GEN Radio. I don't 284 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: even care. I think I can say it is now. 285 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: His name's Gary Meyer, a radio Hall of famer, a 286 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: fancy dude. I was his producer for years at WGN, 287 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: and there was a Christmas and he used to give 288 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: us like gifts and stuff, not like this, but like 289 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: something a little a bit. 290 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 2: But there was a Christmas. 291 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: I was working with him and he forgot to get 292 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: something and he looked at me as like, you know, Craig, 293 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: did I get you something for Christmas? 294 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 5: Yet? 295 00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 2: And I'm like, no, you didn't care. 296 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: And he reached into his and pulled out like three 297 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: or four hundred bucks and just gave it to me. Wow, 298 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: so here you go, I know. And I was like 299 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: thanks Gary, and he was like you're welcome. You do 300 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: a good job, all right, I'll see you later. And 301 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: then he walked away, and I was like that was 302 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: this is a good Christmas for me. People underestimate the 303 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: value of just straight cash and how great that is, 304 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: because that's the one ba humbug thing I thought about 305 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: this story, even though it's cool and wholesome and great, 306 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: is that if you open something and you didn't want 307 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: it like that, probably is a little bit of a 308 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: letdown compared to someone just giving you money, which is 309 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: always always better, I think. 310 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 2: But yeah, it is what it is. 311 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: It's nice, it's beautiful, it's lovely. Another story out there 312 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: I saw I just bragged about Gary Meyer. The guy 313 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: was doing well in his life at that time, so 314 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: I think the four hundred didn't matter much to him. 315 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: I think it was like four hundred bucks. I can't 316 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: even remember now. It was just a lot of cash. 317 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 2: So did it actually. 318 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 4: Mean a lot to you then if you can't even remember, yeah. 319 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: We no, Yes, it did it meant a lot because 320 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: at the time, I think I might have inflated the 321 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: amount over time, if I'm being honest with you, Kylein 322 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: since you're putting them on the spot, I think that 323 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: it might have been three hundred and fifty bucks and 324 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: it's turned into four to five hundred bucks as time 325 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: has gone on. But I was a twenty something producer 326 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: man and. 327 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 4: That was time. 328 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was an amount of money. 329 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting that all of a sudden got put 330 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: in my hand, So it was it was really lovely, 331 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: but it was definitely more than three hundred dollars. I 332 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: will for sure die on that hill forever. But this 333 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: was also almost twenty years ago now that that happened. 334 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: So I'm just getting old is part of the problem, 335 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: all right. And I know a lot of people yelling 336 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: at the radios that forty isn't old. To anybody that's 337 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: younger than me, it is, all right, this is out there. 338 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: I thought this was interesting. Timothy Shallomey has been doing 339 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: a lot of crazy stunts to promote his newest movie. 340 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: It's a ping pong movie that apparently did much better 341 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: in the box office than people expected it to do. 342 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: But here's the thing about this. This is old school radio. 343 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: A radio all the time used to do crazy, you know, 344 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: publicity stunt things. One of my favorite stories is a 345 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 1: guy I worked with put his producer in the back 346 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: of a car, in the trunk of a car, and 347 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: they were at like a remote and they gave him 348 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: a microphone and he was testing the shocks of the 349 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: car by bouncing around in the trunk. And now, granted today, 350 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: that probably wouldn't be safe for something we did, but 351 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: that was very common place in radio back in the day. 352 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: I think it's something a lot of the social media 353 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: influencers do now, and Timothy Shallame apparently is doing this 354 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: where he's doing stunts and I think he flew a 355 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: hot air balloon or something at some point. All of 356 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: this to promote his new movie. People are wondering if 357 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: this is something more actors should do in the future. 358 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 5: I think they've done a lot, especially with social media, 359 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 5: to be able to promote their films. But when you're 360 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 5: putting this much work into it, like Okay, Timothy, he 361 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 5: wore contact blenses that blurs his vision and then work 362 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 5: prescription glasses to correct it. Because of how much this 363 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 5: character relied on this wo yeah because. 364 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, Well you're an actress. 365 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: Do you think that if you had to promote what's 366 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: going on at the zoo or something and they asked 367 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: to you like a crazy stunt, that you'd say yes 368 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: to it. 369 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 2: If it was safe. 370 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 4: I think I would. 371 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,199 Speaker 5: I would think if the stunt related back to the movie, 372 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 5: Like okay, so Marty Supreme is about right this table 373 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,959 Speaker 5: times player, yeah, ping pong, And so if it were 374 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 5: some stunt around ping pong, like going with you know, 375 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 5: like dude perfect and doing a whole bunch of fun 376 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 5: trick shots. 377 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 4: I think that was fun. 378 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 2: Okay, I got it. 379 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: Yes, Well, apparently the crazier the marketing, the more successful 380 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: it's going to be in today's society because of how 381 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 1: the Internet and social media and everything works. So again, 382 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: I just think this is old school radio popping back 383 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: into you know, mainstream culture in a way that we 384 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 1: all know this game. The longer you've been in radio, 385 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: the more you know how this game was done and 386 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: how successful it can be. And so crazy stunts feels 387 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 1: like it's absolutely okay. And you know what, I'll put 388 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 1: this out there before we take a break. I'm just 389 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 1: a part time guy who pops up occasionally at WIBC. 390 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: I'll do crazy stunts to promote this station. If you 391 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: guys want it, I'm totally fine with that. Fire me 392 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: out of a plane with a WIBC you know parachute, 393 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: That's totally cool with me. We'll figure it out. It 394 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: sounds absolutely great If it helps the station and also 395 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: helps me, I'm on board, so wib If WIBC is 396 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: looking for a hand to get raised, to get fired 397 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: out of a cannon, you know, during I don't know, 398 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,719 Speaker 1: the next Indy five hundred with a WIBC flag, this 399 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: guy right here is willing to do that. Totally fine. 400 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: Hopefully it ends well for all involved. But all right, 401 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: we'll take another break. I like that you already agreed 402 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: to it, Kylon. I don't know that either one of 403 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: us have the power to get this done, but you're 404 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: on board. You would light the fuse to the cannon 405 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: they fire me out of. 406 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 4: Imagine it. I'm working this out. 407 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 5: That'll be a New York eavesdrop instead of a ball drop. 408 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 5: We'll just be firing you out of a cannon. 409 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 2: There we go. 410 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna beg that's the new thing every time 411 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: I fill in on WIBC. Now I'm going to keep 412 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: promoting fire me out of a cannon somewhere in Indiana 413 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: to promote the radio station. And we'll see how long 414 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: it takes them to tell me to stop, because they're 415 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: probably never going to do it. But all right, quick 416 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: break a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on Kendall 417 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: and Casey ninety three WIBC. This is Kendall and Casey 418 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: ninety three WIBC. My name is Craig Collins, filling in. 419 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,199 Speaker 1: Thrilled to be with you. I have decided that this 420 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: last half hour when filling in on the show is 421 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: when I get sick of news, and so I'm only 422 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: doing it begrudgingly in whatever way I can. But actually 423 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: I wanted to start with a year in review stuff. 424 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: I looked up a lot of these. I know that 425 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: producer Kylan was finding some of these two before the show. 426 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 2: Just a bunch of different year and review. 427 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: Lists of stuff that happened that you might think of 428 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: as the most significant or newsworthy moments of the year. 429 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: Here's what I thought was funny about a bunch of 430 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,360 Speaker 1: these lists is several of them include jeans in Sydney Sweeney, 431 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: the American Eagle Campaign, and Sidney Sweeney and jeans and 432 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 1: all the stuff that was talked. 433 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 2: About in reaction to it. 434 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: There's two reasons that I think that this story actually 435 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 1: became incredibly viral. The first one is just Sidney Sweeney. 436 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: She was already someone who was getting talked about a 437 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: lot in media, someone who has cared about a lot 438 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: for a variety of reasons, one of them being that 439 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 1: she's exceptionally attractive and also an actress who I think 440 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: actually did one of her best acting gigs. 441 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 2: This one of her best. 442 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: Roles in movies, at least according to a lot of 443 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 1: the critics happened this year. It's not talked about as 444 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: much as the gene ad, but it is a thing. 445 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,479 Speaker 1: But the other thing that's funny about it to me 446 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: is that people I think infused politics in a place 447 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: that it wasn't intent to go. I do not think 448 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: American Eagle was trying to make a political statement. I 449 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: do not think Sidney Sweeney was trying to make a 450 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: political statement, even as someone who wound up being outed 451 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: as a dirty conservative, as a horrible person, or at 452 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: least potentially a family member of conservatives. But I just 453 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: thought it was so funny that this made the list, Like, 454 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: there's way more important things that happened in our society 455 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: than a discussion about an ad about genes involving an 456 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 1: attractive actress. But it's every list I'm on, I see 457 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: that it's mentioned at least there. Other lists include things 458 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: like Jimmy Kimmel being a big deal, even though it 459 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: didn't feel like a big deal to a whole lot 460 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: of us that he was suspended for a few days 461 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: for saying what obviously were pretty awful things other than 462 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: he pretended he didn't mean the way they came out, 463 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: or even pretended he didn't say them the way they 464 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: were said, essentially blaming the person who killed Charlie Kirk 465 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: of being a conservative and then blaming conservative somehow for 466 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: trying to cover that up. All of it was crazy, 467 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 1: but that story was a Year in Review thing. I 468 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: also saw that Sean Diddy Colms definitely made the list 469 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: of year and Review stuff because he was convicted and 470 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: sentenced to prison for being a truly awful, terrible person. 471 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: And then this one really amused me as far as 472 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 1: things on this list too. And actually, Travis Kelcey and 473 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift getting engaged was on USA Today's top eight 474 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: or ten things. 475 00:21:58,920 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 2: Per Year in Review. 476 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,199 Speaker 1: That he makes Kylon happy that that Travis and Taylor 477 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: made the list. But Katy Perry, what is that? 478 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 2: Would you? 479 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 4: Says Taylor intro that okay? 480 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 2: Is that their name? Their name is Tavis, it's one 481 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 2: of the ship names. 482 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: Yet, oh my god, that is I feel terrible that 483 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: the were okay, fine, that's fine. One of the other 484 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: ones that amused me that was on this list is 485 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: Katie Perry going to Space, which people really hated at 486 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, and I thought was also 487 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: tremendously stupid in the way they behaved. A Gail King 488 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: and Katy Perry I think did an interview where they 489 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: called themselves astronauts, which was uniquely hilarious to me. But 490 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: how many people really hated this story? And again, you 491 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 1: know what's funny about this list and all the things 492 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, none of them involved Trump. President Trump 493 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,719 Speaker 1: feels as though he controls a lot of the daily 494 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: news cycle, for good or for worse. If you love 495 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: him or you hate him, he's probably for both of 496 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: those reasons, someone you think about a lot, and whatever's 497 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: going on with him. Of course, Pea steals all these 498 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: things that he pumplished not going to be in any 499 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 1: of these year and reviews lists. But even any of 500 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: the things that they said were bad that happened that 501 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: involved Trump still not on the list. The only sort 502 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: of tangential connection on some of these to Trump is 503 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: Colbert and Kimmel, who, of course they blame Trump for 504 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: the fact that late night television is nowhere near as 505 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: good as it used to be, nowhere near as watched 506 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: as it used to be, and likely to be dying. 507 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 1: I assume that in the next few years, all of 508 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: the late night TV people will be out of a 509 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: gig because no one watches it there. People either watch 510 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: the clips online or watch something else entirely, like the 511 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 1: audience has absolutely shrunk for late night comedy television that 512 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: is overly one sided anyway, But I just thought that 513 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: was interesting that that most of these lists don't even 514 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: mention politics at all, even though at this point it 515 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: feels like politics is part of your everyday life. And 516 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: then finally, one last one on the list, and I 517 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: don't know, Kylin, if you know anything about this one? 518 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: K Pop Demon Hunters and the cultural phenomenon that was 519 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: that Netflix cartoon apparently is deserving of a list of 520 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: the most influential or most important things that happened in 521 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,199 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, the K Pop and the Demon and 522 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: the Hunters. Do you have any thoughts on that one? 523 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 5: One hundred percent? It should be listed. 524 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 4: It was a global phenomenon. 525 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 2: Okay, did you like it? Did you enjoy the K 526 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 2: Pop Demon Hunters? 527 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 4: I did. I enjoyed the movie. I thought it was fun. 528 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 5: And the music it gets stuck in your brain. Did 529 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 5: you ever listen to the song? 530 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: I've I've heard some of the songs and because a 531 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: couple of them wound up being like top chart hits 532 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: and stuff, so you play them all the time. 533 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 2: Like Golden I think was one of the ones. Oh 534 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 2: here we go. Ah yeah, yeah, it is. 535 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 4: The Halloween costumes too, It really was. 536 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 2: It was a lot of stuff. 537 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 1: But the thing that amuses me about the K Pop 538 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: Demon Hunters is how many people are going to probably 539 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 1: try to do another version of this in the near 540 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: future and try to. 541 00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 2: Make that successful. 542 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: And also the way that it was something discovered by 543 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: people who don't have kids, because for me, I wound 544 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: up being told about it a whole lot of times. 545 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: And actually I was so I was doing this thing 546 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: on weekends in Houston when I first moved here. I 547 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: was helping out at the food bank, and I was 548 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 1: hosting volunteers that showed up at the food bank to volunteer. 549 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: They called you a volunteer host and like you brought 550 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: people around to their area and taught them how to 551 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: do you know, a volunteer shift for There was a 552 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: lot of fun. I really liked that gig. I probably 553 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: should still be doing it, but I'm not. And anyway, 554 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: as I was doing that, we would let people give 555 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: music suggestions. 556 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 2: And all the time. 557 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: Every shift, kids would come up and be like, play 558 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: this K pop Demon Hunter thing, play this K pop 559 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: demon Hunter thing, And I'm like, what is that? Why 560 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: are you children all asking for a demon hunter? It 561 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: makes no sense to me, But eventually you figure out 562 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: what it is because everybody was like loved it. Although 563 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: I will say that in a three hour volunteer shift 564 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: you could not allow them to keep her quest in 565 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 1: K Pop Demon Hunters because the rest of the group 566 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: would be very upset that that music was all we 567 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: were playing on repeat. 568 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 2: It was if you have any thoughts, get go? 569 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 4: Was the number one pick at the zoo for Zoo Boo? 570 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 3: Was it? 571 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 2: Yeah? 572 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 5: Everyone would be playing the Golden or any of the 573 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 5: other K pop demon yeah. 574 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 4: All the time. 575 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 5: Yeah. 576 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: So did you know about it before people started asking 577 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: for it or did you learn about it because of 578 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: the gig you had. 579 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 2: At the time. 580 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 5: My nieces and my younger sister both were They both 581 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 5: dressed up as the K Pop Demon Hunters. 582 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 4: They were all about it, so I watched it with them. 583 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I get it because like for me, it 584 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: really took a while to understand that it wasn't something 585 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: that was inappropriate that the kids probably shouldn't be watching, 586 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: because when they tell you they want to hear K 587 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: pop Demon Hunters party, who is like, I don't know, 588 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: I don't know what's occurring here? Did you watch a 589 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 1: scary movie you're not supposed to watch? How did this happen? 590 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: One last one on the list of things to remember 591 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: from this past year, And I thought it was kind 592 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: of hilarious that it made the list too, But Kendrick 593 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show actually. 594 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 2: Was thought of as one of the more marking moments 595 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 2: of this year. I think that is the influence of 596 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 2: social media. 597 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: When I look at these lists and some of the 598 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 1: things on it, I think that the TikTok and I 599 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: like calling it the TikTok because it makes me sound old, 600 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,959 Speaker 1: and all the different versions of people doing the Kendrick 601 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: Lamar dance and whatnot after that thing was the thing 602 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: that happened in our society made it more impactful than 603 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: it actually was, because to me, it wasn't even really 604 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: all that good of it. It was an okay halftime show. 605 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 1: It wasn't excellent, it wasn't terrible, it was fine. And 606 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: then I moved on to watch the rest of the 607 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: football game, but darn it, I'm usually there for the 608 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: football and not actually the halftime show. So I just 609 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 1: thought it was interesting that made the list too, But 610 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: I think it had a longer shelf life because of 611 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: the way social media works. 612 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 5: Now Cold Place Kiss King also made the list, and 613 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 5: I think that's, oh yeah, because of social media. 614 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 2: Yes, that entirely because of social media. 615 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: I mean that story was crazy where you know, the 616 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: CEO and the HR person are definitely in some kind 617 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: of version of an affair, whether it's you know, at 618 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 1: the beginning, so I don't know what it was, and 619 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 1: I don't know what they've even said about it, but 620 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,479 Speaker 1: both lose their jobs. A part of the reason that 621 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 1: was probably so viral, and I remember talking about it 622 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 1: on the Matt and Craig Excellent Podcast, which is a 623 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: podcast you can check out a part of the WIBC family, 624 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: Matt Bear and I talk about all kinds of crazy things. 625 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: I think part of it was the fact that the 626 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: internet sluice could figure out who they were, you know, like, 627 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,719 Speaker 1: I think it only would have had so much shelf 628 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: life if they remained a mystery who the people are. 629 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: But once you find out who the guy is, what 630 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: company he works for, what her job is. It became 631 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: so much more of a thing, and I think a 632 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: lot of people might have had financial resentment as a 633 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: reason that they were motivated to make it such a thing. 634 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: But nonetheless, I just thought it was interesting that without 635 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: the ability to figure that out, this probably is almost 636 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: a nothing story, very quickly hapened. 637 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 2: All right. 638 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: On that note, I don't know, is there anything else 639 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: you wanted to mention, Kylon that you saw on your 640 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: lists of big things that happened this year? 641 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 4: There's plenty of the tiny little ones. 642 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 5: Katy Perry was one that kept popping up online, which 643 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 5: I completely forgot about. There's so many of those that 644 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 5: it's just been such a long year. I'm stuck in 645 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 5: like July. 646 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 2: Sure, yea, I know. 647 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: It is interesting to go through these lists and remember 648 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: all the things that did get talked about a lot, 649 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: because they did unwind up being bigger topics, at least 650 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: for a few days in the world of you know, 651 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: what we pay attention to and what we don't pay 652 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: attention to. But it is funny when you go back 653 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: and see it, how few things actually even involve politics. 654 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: Because the last thing I'll say, and this is just 655 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: something I've been thinking a lot toward the end of 656 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: the year, and as a guy who does political radio 657 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: as a living, that you do feel like and I 658 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: know that. I think I've mentioned the reason South Park 659 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: claims that it's done so much anti Trump stuff is 660 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: partially because of what they think politically, of course, but 661 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: then also partially because they say that Trump is is 662 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: pop culture in today's society, that you know, politics is 663 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: so mainstream, people talk about it so much, but then 664 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: you go through these lists and you see so little 665 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: of it that you're mind how often. 666 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 2: Although I guess there's a political. 667 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: Spin to several of these stories, whether it's you know, 668 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: the Sydney Sweeney thing, what it might be, it's not 669 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: politics directly, but politics indirectly. That feels like it's a 670 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: portion of several of this stuff. So maybe that's what 671 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: people mean. But I think it's kind of a nice 672 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: reminder that there's a lot of stories out there that 673 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: have almost no connection to politics that wind up being 674 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: a big thing that we talk about a lot. That 675 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: seems like a nice demonstration that we are not, as 676 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: you know, singularly focused as people might think on some 677 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: of these bigger news stories that are out there all 678 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: the time. All Right, we'll take a break, we'll come back. 679 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: We'll wrap up the show in all kinds of exciting ways. 680 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: Craig Collins filling in producer Kylon hanging out on Kendall 681 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: and casey ninety three WIBC. This is Kendall and Case 682 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: ninety three WIBC. My name is Craig Collins, filling in 683 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: producer Kylan hanging out as well. I was actually going 684 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: to start this segment by asking if you had New 685 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: Year's Eve plans, Kylan, I'm just curious. My wife and 686 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: I I have made what I think are pretty unique 687 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: plans compared to what we usually do on New Year's Eve. 688 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: And the reason we made the unique plans is that 689 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: we moved to a new place. So before I tell 690 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: you what mine are, do you have anything that you're 691 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: planning to do this year for the holiday? 692 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 4: Normally I spend my time with my friend. 693 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 5: I spent New Year's Eve with her since high school 694 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 5: and so that's always been a tradition. But my family's 695 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 5: in town this year, so I'll be going back to 696 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 5: my hometown. 697 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: Gotcha, And so the friend is getting abandoned. 698 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 4: Yep, having good luck? 699 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, is a friend complaining about that at all? 700 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 3: Is that? 701 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 2: Have there been texts about how dare you? 702 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 5: So I'll stop in before I head down and just 703 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 5: say hey for at least Senior's Eve? But no, I 704 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 5: won't be any midnight drop or anything with her. 705 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 2: Okay, I got it. 706 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: So my wife was starting to ask me, like, earlier 707 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: this past week. The job she has, she gets time 708 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: off around the holiday. 709 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 2: Everybody does. 710 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: The whole company kind of shuts down for like a week, 711 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: so everybody has to use vacation to get paid for 712 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: that week, but they all do it. It seems like 713 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: it's fine. So she's off of work the entirety of 714 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: this week and part of last week, and so she 715 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: started to ask me, like what we should do for 716 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 1: New Year's Eve? And I actually work a lot in 717 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: the holidays. So my decision was, let's do something where 718 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: I'm still going to be able to not have to, like, 719 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: you know, cancel on anything. But she eventually landed on 720 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: We're going to go to Galveston, Texas, which is the 721 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: beachy area of. 722 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 2: The place in which I live. 723 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 1: There's part of a beach there on the Gulf of 724 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: America that you know, we're going to be in a 725 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: hotel and we're probably going to go to some sort 726 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: of fancy hotel party. We haven't done something that's like 727 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: go out fancy for New Year's Eve in years, and 728 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: so it's just so odd that my wife was the 729 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: one who was inspired to tell me to try this, 730 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: and now we're going to do it. And even some 731 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: people I work with here in Texas have been asking 732 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: me what our plans are, like, Oh, like that is 733 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: the party place to go for New Year's Eve. I 734 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: don't think we're young enough to do the thing that 735 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: we're going to try to do with all the partying 736 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: and whatnot. 737 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 2: That'll take place. 738 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: And I know people on the chat are telling me 739 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: that forty is not old at all, and I get it. 740 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: I understand that if you're older than forty, it's not 741 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: old at all. But I also probably want to be 742 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: in bed by like twelve oh one. That's just me, 743 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: and it sounds like that might not happen this New 744 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: Year's Eve with the plan that we have concocted. 745 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 4: Do you do any of the New Year's superstitions. 746 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 2: The like you gotta kiss right at midnight thing? 747 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 5: The kiss at midnight, eating grapes under the table, throwing 748 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 5: salt do or like it's even okaying up the doors. 749 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 3: I don't. 750 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 2: I don't know what the opening up the doors one is. 751 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 1: I know about the grapes because my wife does the grapes, 752 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: and then we do have to kiss, she tells me 753 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: on New Year's Eve right at midnight, or our year 754 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,239 Speaker 1: is doomed, we will be screwed. So that tradition has 755 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: lasted every New Year's Eve since we were dating. And 756 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: I think I would get like hit with something if 757 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: we didn't do that right then. But those are the 758 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 1: only two we do. And I don't know anything about 759 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: the salt to the door one. I don't know what 760 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: you're talking about with the door. 761 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 5: I've heard somewhere you have to open up the doors 762 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 5: and windows so you let out anything left over from 763 00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 5: the old year to go fresh into the new year. 764 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 5: That's been one, okay, Yeah, eating twelve grapes twelve exactly right. 765 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, that one I know about. 766 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: And I don't know why that's a thing, but we 767 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: have to eat twelve grapes, and so that I don't 768 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: think I have to do it anymore. I think I 769 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: was forced to do it at some point for a while. 770 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: But now just Betty eats the twelve grapes and I 771 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 1: think that still works. 772 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 2: I don't know. 773 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 1: I'm much more superstitious about sports than New Year's Eve. 774 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,800 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that I helped the Blackhawks win a 775 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: Stanley Cup and the Bulls win a NBA Championship. Well, 776 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,800 Speaker 1: in my living room, I'm fairly certain that I deserve 777 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: a ring that no one has sent me yet. But 778 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: when it comes to Year's Eve, I all bets are off. 779 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 2: Some people. 780 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 5: Man, they even go down to the underwear, Like what 781 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 5: color underwear means? Whatever you're going to be wanting for 782 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,320 Speaker 5: in the new year. So red is romance? 783 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 4: White? 784 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 2: Okay? 785 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 4: Hee yellow as wealth?

Maybe it's something terrible. Maybe that's 808 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 1: the problem. Maybe anytime the year doesn't go well. I 809 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: didn't realize that my underwear played a component in that. 810 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 1: I can't wait to tell my wife this after the 811 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 1: show is over today, Kylon and have her look at 812 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 1: me like I'm an insane person, because that'll happen at 813 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 1: some point.
