Speaker 3: He's scheduled to join us in the four o'clock hour.

15

Speaker 3: But holidays like tonight in Saint Patrick's Day, where in

16
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 3: bibing is a pretty big part of the evening's activities,

17
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: so many people who don't know how to handle their

18
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 3: alcohol intake will be out on the roads. So please

19

Speaker 3: call Uber, call Lift. I am going to be completely

20
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 3: honest with you guys. There have been times in the past,

21
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: long before ride sharing stuff was around. I probably drove

22
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 3: when I should not have. And I'm being honest with you, guys.

23
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: That shouldn't happen now. Okay, it should not happen now

24
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 3: for your generation, Chris, You guys have got all the

25
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 3: things you need on your phone, and.

26
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 4: If you've got tech savvy, we all are with all

27
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 4: these apps on our phone and you can get a

28
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 4: ride anywhere you want right now. There's no excuse for

29
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 4: people to be driving under the influence tonight, with how

30
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 4: much technology there is out there.

31
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: If you've got a credit card or a debit card

32
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 3: and the phone, you should be able to get to

33
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 3: point A to point B safely without endangering others.

34
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: And that's what this is about.

35
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 3: If you want to get drunk and crash into a tree,

36
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 3: that's a decision that you've made. But there are people

37
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: coming home from work, people going out to dinner, coming

38
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 3: home from other gatherings tonight, innocent people out of the roads.

39
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 3: Don't you dare endanger those folks. And again, I have

40
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 3: made some mistakes in the past. I have never been

41
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 3: pulled over. I've never been arrested in my life.

42
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: But times are different now.

43
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 3: You don't have to make those Well, I want to

44
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: get my car home decisions. You can go get your

45
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 3: car the next day by calling Uber again or having

46
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 3: a buddy. Right, So please be safe out on the

47
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 3: roads tonight. Taking a look at some things happening around Indy.

48
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 3: It's an end of an era today, not just the

49
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 3: end of a year, but the end of an era.

50
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 3: Circle Center Mall will close after today.

51
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 4: Oh man, I didn't even realize today was this last day.

52
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 4: But man, when that thing first opened, I remember seeing

53
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 4: all the pictures about how much of a big deal

54
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 4: that was. Like there was like a big grand opening

55
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 4: thing where they had fireworks out there. But I went

56
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 4: in there, I think it was about a month ago,

57
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 4: just to get some lunch. I was on a job

58
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 4: job working promotion, so I went to go get some lunch.

59
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 4: There's nothing left in there other than the food court.

60
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 4: That's the only reason you would go in there is

61
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 4: to get food. But right it is a ghost town

62
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 4: in there. Right now. There's like maybe one store open

63
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 4: in that entire facility right now.

64
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: There was a time where that mall being added downtown

65
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: transitioned Indie from being kind of a cool town to

66
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: a major player for conventions and events.

67
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean malls were a huge thing. Like

68
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 4: you know, before the Internet, before Amazon, like that was

69
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 4: where everyone went to go hang out, you went to

70
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 4: go do stuff. But man like with as we mentioned earlier,

71
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 4: the rise of technology, it's kind of killing off the

72
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 4: whole mall thing and the whole actual physical store thing.

73
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: Right.

74
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 3: And it wasn't just a mall. There was a movie theater.

75
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: You had nightclubs in there, multiple nightclubs. I remember the

76
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 3: Big Arcade used to be on the top floor. Went

77
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 3: there as a kid a couple times. I can't remember

78
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: what the name of the nightclub was that was on

79
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 3: top of the Circle Center mall back in the day.

80
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 3: But at a previous radio station I was working at.

81
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: I was there because the band Digital Underground was performing

82
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: that night. Now, Chris, I know this is a little

83
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 3: bit before your time, but if I say the Humpty Dance,

84
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: does that do anything for you?

85
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 4: That does I do? I am familiar?

86
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 3: Okay, shock g A young Tupac got his teeth wet

87
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 3: with the Underground. But the Humpty Dance was the big song.

88
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 3: There's a signature song. They had others, but they were

89
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 3: doing a show. I think it was world Marti Gras

90
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 3: pretty sure that was the name of it world Marti

91
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 3: Gras and I'm there with the radio station and great

92
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 3: moments in Circle Center Mall History, the PR guy for

93
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 3: Humpty Hump himself asked if I could get them weed.

94
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 3: Oh now I did not have any on me, but

95
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 3: I was flattered that they just looked.

96
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: At this radio kid and said, I bet that guy's

97
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: got weed.

98
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: I bet that big eared kid right over there probably

99
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 3: knows where I can get some green, and we want

100
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: Humpty to get it from you. It's like, well, man,

101
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 3: I can probably make a few phone calls. I don't

102
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: know what time is like right now.

103
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 4: I did go to Beechgrove High School, so there's as

104
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 4: the friend of yours that you could give a call

105
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 4: to real quick.

106
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 3: Just give me about thirty minutes here and I'll have

107
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 3: it delivered. But I don't know what your time frame is.

108
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 3: But it did not work out. But I felt flattered.

109
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: That's my world, Marty Girl, Circle Center Mall Story. Also

110
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: looking back at some of the crime numbers in NDY

111
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five, and this is good news. One

112
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty seven is the number of killings this

113
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 3: past year. It's still a high number, but it's down

114
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 3: about thirty percent year over year, so that's good. That's

115
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: good news. This number includes self defense killings, which are up,

116
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 3: by the way, so citizens are arming themselves exactly in

117
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 3: justified situations and they're taking care of themselves using the

118
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 3: Second Amendment right that they've got.

119
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: So those killings are up.

120
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 3: And for whatever reason, there are reporters in this city,

121
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 3: like Russ McQuaid that want to make it sound like

122
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: that's a bad thing. But listen, have you seen the

123
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 3: justice system here in Marion County. Yes, some of these

124
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: self defense killings, those guys will not be getting back

125
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 3: out on the street, and maybe that's why some of

126
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 3: the numbers are going down. Now the mayor's office and

127
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 3: the police department will say, well, it's a strategy that

128
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: we have in place, that's why the crime numbers are

129
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 3: going down. We've got more faith based groups out on

130
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 3: the streets. I know Reverend Charles Harrison and his group

131
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 3: work with the Mayor's office for some reason, but they're

132
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: still out doing their thing.

133
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: There are other folks that.

134
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: Are getting paid quite a bit of money, taxpayer money

135
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 3: to walk the streets. You could tell me it's investments

136
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 3: in technology with the police department. And maybe that's the

137
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 3: case too, but I'm telling you it's armed citizens constitutional

138
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 3: carry that has made a big difference here. And this

139
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 3: is an opinion. Ever since constitutional carry was put into

140
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 3: law in the state of Indiana, every year since then,

141
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 3: the homicides, criminal homicides have gone down.

142
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 4: Because you're starting to scare these criminals. They know, well,

143
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 4: if the prosecutor isn't going to do his job, well,

144
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 4: the citizens are going to take defend themselves. They're going

145
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 4: to put their family at risk because they're not allowed

146
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 4: to defend themselves. They're going to take it into their

147
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 4: own hands. Now you know, there's a specific quote out there.

148
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 4: Can't say the exact version of it on the radio,

149
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 4: but mess around and find out.

150
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: That's what Oh right, yes, right.

151
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 3: Murders down twenty percent compared to twenty twenty four, nearly

152
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 3: forty five percent since they peaked in twenty twenty one.

153
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,119
Speaker 3: Now keep in mind, before everybody starts singing Kumbai ya

154
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 3: and looks like we made it, Indy is still outpacing

155
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: Chicago and homicides per capita now based on the last census,

156
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 3: which I believe was in twenty twenty, Chicago's population was

157
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 3: around two point seven million. Indy's was I think eight hundred,

158
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 3: eight hundred and fifty thousand. So once you factor in

159
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: the population difference homicides per one thousand residents, Indy still

160
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 3: outpacing Chicago by seventeen.

161
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: And a half percent.

162
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous.

163
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous. Now, listen, Chicago is probably doctoring the numbers.

164
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 3: But let's not act like Indy probably doesn't do the same.

165
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 4: All major cities do. I mean, if we're being one

166
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 4: hundred percent honest here.

167
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,480

Speaker 3: I don't know what they've got planned, but in the

210
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: years past they thought a good programming decision was to

211
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 3: have Anderson Cooper. That's right, that guy, Anderson Cooper drinking

212
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 3: tequila on the air.

213
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,360

214
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: you're driving, but feel free to toast along with us.

215
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,480

216
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: a great time.

217
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 4: It's not a good drinker.

218
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 5: Ah, it's like burning your lungs Ah.

219
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: What the hell was that?

220
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 4: Christ?

221
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 3: That sounded like that scene and Revenge of the Nerds

222
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 3: where Poindexter was watching the video of the pies and

223
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 3: got a little excited. Okay, now let's compare and contrast

224
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 3: Anderson Cooper tequila with an excited Poindexter her.

225
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 2: That's the same sound. I'm sorry, that's the exact same sound.

226
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 4: That was one clip that.

227
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: Might have been Matt Bear, now that I think about it.

228
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 6: Matt, you was listening to the Hammer and Nichel show.

229
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,840

232
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,920

233
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 3: the Beasts, right, And I think it all stems from

234
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: your appearance on our show early in the summer where

235
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,080

Speaker 4: All right?

266
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,360

267
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 7: that took up. It started in May and it took

268
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 7: up all the way through July. It took up a

269
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 7: big chunk, I would say, of the year with throughout

270
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 7: like pre trial trial, the daily updates, the crazy stories

271
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 7: I mean. And here's another another little hidbit for you.

272
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 7: I also came from the music industry before I was

273
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 7: backup dancing, and so I know a lot about the

274
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 7: music industry, and I know a lot of the things

275
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 7: that had happened are very much so true.

276
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: Have you ever been to a Didty party?

277
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 7: I have not been to a Ditty party, but I

278
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 7: do know what producers are.

279
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 8: How should I say this that is PG rated or

280
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 8: G rated.

281
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 2: You can give it radio plates. This is the show

282
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: that has.

283
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 7: What you heard throughout the trial and some of the stories.

284
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 7: That is just like a dime a dozen. That's what

285
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 7: they do. They want you to You're basically signing your

286
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 7: life away when you go into the music industry. I

287
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 7: had a contract and I did not sign it because

288
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 7: a lot of it was very immoral and I did

289
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 7: not want to partake in a lot of those activities.

290
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 3: The fourteen year old with a fake ideas said, this

291
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 3: is where I draw the well.

292
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 8: At the time.

293
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 7: At the time, I was nineteen years old. So I finally,

294
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 7: you know, to me, I grew up. I was like, oh,

295
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 7: I'm past that.

296
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 5: Good for you, you know.

297
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 8: And so I did not sign those crazy contracts.

298
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 3: But that wasn't just some sort of wild conspiracy theory

299
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: that those lube parties and all that kind of stuff

300
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 3: take place.

301
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, no, no, not a conspiracy at all. It's

302
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 7: a lot of that, and it's a way for them

303
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 7: to control you. That's how they like to control people

304
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 7: in the music industry.

305
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: Okay, so that trial takes place.

306
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 3: Some would say, did he get to slap on the wrist,

307
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 3: He gets hit with the prostitution charges taking prostitutes across

308
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: state line, but nothing from a sex offender or human

309
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 3: trafficking standpoint.

310
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 8: Which ends to fifty months.

311
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: And that's it, right, Okay, so we've got that. What

312
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 2: else do we have?

313
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 4: Oh?

314
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:53,280

00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 7: the memes, the memes, the mats. My favorite one was

318
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 7: the cats. There was cats each other. It was my favorite,

319
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 7: I think and a.

320
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: Dog hugging each other at one point.

321
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 7: But I just felt like it literally took the world

322
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 7: by storm, like seeing all the comments, the memes.

323
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 2: It lived on for weeks.

324
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 3: I felt like and Ai was a big part of

325
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 3: this too, because I dabbled a little AI creation And

326
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 3: I'm kicking myself that I didn't strike while the iron

327
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 3: was hot, because the trend was take two people who

328
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 3: shouldn't be together and make them like hugging. How did

329
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 3: I not do Tony Kats in a ladder like? How

330
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 3: did I not make Ai Tony Kats in a ladder

331
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 3: like hugging at the Coldplay concert? Because He's made it

332
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 3: very clear he's not getting on the ladder.

333
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 8: Yeah.

334
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 7: Well, what's so funny was if they didn't may have

335
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 7: that such a big reaction, nobody would have noticed anything

336
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 7: new cared.

337
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 8: It was the whole fact of what they did.

338
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: But then the Coldplay front man was like, Hey, I

339
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 3: think they're having an.

340
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 2: Affair, which is what you want to hear when you're

341
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: having an affair.

342
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 8: Yeah, right.

343
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 7: After that, So that happened in July, and then I'll

344
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 7: actually a couple things happened July. That happened towards the

345
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 7: beginning of July, and then after that, Ozzy Osbourne passed

346
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 7: away July twenty second, so seventy six years old.

347
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 3: I remember that as my friend Donald, who I have

348
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 3: known for a long time, played football against them when

349
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 3: I was a kid. Went to another school. He ended

350
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 3: up playing football at Purdue. Just an awesome dude. Black

351
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 3: guy sends me a text the next day. I'm just

352
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 3: checking on my whites. I want to make sure how

353
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 3: my whites are doing okay. Losing Ozzy Osborne, It's kind

354
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 3: of like when we lost Tupac. So I just want

355
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 3: to make sure by White was a thirday week, because

356
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 3: that was the same week I believe. We also lost

357
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 3: Haul Cogan.

358
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 8: A few days after that.

359
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a pretty bad week in terms of celebrity.

360
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 8: We also died July twenty fourth, and he was seventy one.

361
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 2: Bad week for the whites.

362
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 3: Like my buddy was right, like he wanted to check

363
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 3: on us, make sure we were good.

364
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 2: But that was a rough week for the whites.

365
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 8: All right, that was three and four.

366
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 7: So number five for me would be in August. You know,

367
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 7: we had T and T get engaged. What he's like,

368
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 7: come on, come on, Taylor Swift and Travis.

369
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 2: Oh no, they were called T and T.

370
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 4: Youve al we're talking about dynamite here.

371
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 2: We blew somebody up.

372
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 8: But I missed said T and T. I don't know.

373
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 7: I don't really pay attention to them, although I do

374
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 7: know that was a really big, huge deal.

375
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 2: It was a huge pop culture stories. Yes, but the

376
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 2: fact that you called him T and T you just

377
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 2: lost all the cool street cred, Like I don't even

378
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 2: care that you were a fourteen year old lunatic and

379
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 2: Tiajuana anymore, Like, don't ever call that T and T

380
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 2: ever ever? Again, we've mentioned Ozzie and Hawk Hogan, any

381
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 2: other celebrity passings that moved the needle this past year.

382
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 8: I feel like it there's those two moved needle.

383
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 3: I mean there was I mean obviously Charlie Kirk's killing,

384
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 3: which was the biggest news story correct of the year.

385
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 2: Yes, you had Brian Wilson.

386
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 3: Many would say, have the Beach Boys, one of the

387
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 3: great songwriters of all time. Now, the Beach Boys weren't

388
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 3: writing meaningful songs per se, but they inspired that whole

389
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 3: California era.

390
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: The Beach Boys.

391
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 3: You had George Foreman's passing. We talked about boxing earlier.

392
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 3: How I wish boxing were as good today as it

393
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 3: used to be back in the day. We're certainly legitimate.

394
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 3: Folks of my dad's era would say, George Foreman, bad man.

395
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 3: And then you got the folks from another generation will say,

396
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 3: that's the grill guy.

397
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 2: The George Foreman grill.

398
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 4: You still have one that would be me.

399
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 8: I would say, that's the grill guy, George w.

400
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 4: Mcgrill is awesome. You can do so much stuff.

401
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 2: You still use it.

402
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 4: I still do use it, especially during the winter time

403
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 4: when I don't want to actually go outside in this weather.

404
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 4: To my actual grill, I just put it up inside

405
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 4: and make some Hamburgers inside.

406
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 3: That's fantastic. Have a great New Year's Eve tonight. Take

407
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 3: some time off you deserve it. We've been one of

408
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 3: like the few ten people in this building here the

409
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 3: last couple of days. I think I see tumbleweeds, you know,

410
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 3: blowing out in the hallway. There's nobody here. But thank

411
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 3: you for coming in and making this show better. John

413
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 3: and Nigel Show, Life, Good, Live, Good, Nigel Show.

414
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: Anybody been arrested in Minnesota yet? Anybody been arrested? I'm

415
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: just curious because I feel.

416
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 3: Like had that been any one of us, we'd already

417
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 3: be in federal pound, me in the you know what prison.

418
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 2: It's the Hammer and Nigel Show.

419
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 3: I'm Jason Hammer, Chris Hammer and future governor of Indiana,

420
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 3: filling in for Big Nige here.

421
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 2: We'll get to the Minnesota story here in just a moment.

422
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 3: But we were just having a conversation with john Nette

423
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 3: Cruz from the newsroom about celebrity deaths this past year,

424
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 3: and time became a factor.

425
00:20:58,720 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 2: We had the news coming up.

426
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 3: We had a cut our conversation a little short there,

427
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 3: but we mentioned Hawk Hogan and Ozzy Osbourne and Brian

428
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 3: Wilson and some other folks.

429
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: There were quite a few names that we left off

430
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 2: the board. Chris Right, Val Kilmer, I believe was this

431
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 2: year as well. Top gun Man.

432
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 3: I loved Real Genius, like when he was still doing

433
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 3: slapstick comedy before he became like a serious actor.

434
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: Real Genius was fantastic with Val Kilmer. Oh yes, oh yes,

435
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 2: this one kind of hit me. I thought it was

436
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 2: last year, but I guess this did take place in January.

437
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 2: Was Bob Yuker, mister Baseball, long time announcer for the

438
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 2: Brewers in Major League.

439
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 4: He was amazing in Major League that movie. He was

440
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 4: one of the lifebloods of that movie right there. It's

441
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 4: one of the reasons it's one of my favorite movies

442
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 4: of all time.

443
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 3: And to this day, if you're watching a baseball game

444
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 3: when you see a pitcher I throw a wild pitch,

445
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 3: you probably quote just a bit outside.

446
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 4: I played baseball growing up. Every time we saw it

447
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 4: in the dugout, That's that's what we said. That was

448
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 4: the line. It could be over the net for anyone said,

449
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 4: and it's always just a bit outside. You tried the

450
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 4: corner and missed.

451
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 3: In February, Gene Hackman and his wife found dead in

452
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 3: their house. Of course, Gene Hackman best known in these

453
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 3: parts as coach Norman Dale in the movie Hoosier, but

454
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 3: one of.

455
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 2: The great Hollywood actors of all time.

456
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 3: I want to say, if I remember properly, that was

457
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 3: like a gas leak issue in their home because they

458
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 3: had been dead in there for a while. Yeah, and

459
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 3: I remember that. Yeah, it was a wild story. But

460
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 3: Gene Hackman, we lost him. This year we mentioned George Foreman,

461
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 3: Pope Francis, the Woke Pope, as many referred to him as,

462
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 3: dying at the age of eighty eight. If I say

463
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 3: the name Steve Mango McMichael, does that do anything for you?

464
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 4: Does not, does not ring a bell for me?

465
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 2: I bet you've seen a video.

466
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 5: Though.

467
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 3: Former Chicago Bears defensive lineman became a professional wrestler beloved

468
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 3: in Chicago, and there was one night where he was

469
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 3: singing the seventh inning stretch at a Cubs game when

470
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 3: Angel Hernandez was the umpire behind home plate and was

471
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 3: just butchering calls left and right, and a possibly overserved

472
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 3: Steve Mango McMichael gets on the microphone.

473
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have a talk with that umpire after the game.

474
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,360

525
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,280

00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 4: i've ever seen.

00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:57,360

Speaker 3: Freeley seventy four years old. And then you get into

538
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 3: what took place in December. Rob Reiner and his wife

539
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 3: murdered in their home. So those were some of the

540
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 3: folks that we lost this past year in twenty twenty five.

541
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 3: Let's get you up to date on some other things

542
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 3: happening in the world right now. I said this earlier.

543
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 3: Anybody been arrested in Minnesota? Zero, Nope, naa, okay, because

544
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 3: I know AJHS just froze all childcare payments to Minnesota.

545
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 3: They're trying to work on this billion dollar fraud story.

546
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 3: But nobody's been arrested yet. And I find this to

547
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 3: be redamdiculous because I bet if it were Chris hand

548
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 3: oh yeah, or Kurt Gerald's or myself that were embezzling

549
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 3: money from urban Ie or Lily or some major Indiana

550
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 3: company here, we would already be behind bars, oh yeah,

551
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 3: especially if it.

552
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 4: Takes place in a red state like Indiana or Florida.

553
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 4: We might even be looking at the chair at this

554
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 4: point with the way the political climate is.

555
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: You know.

556
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 3: And the thing that's frustrating is right now, the political

557
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 3: climate at a national level, at the federal level, should

558
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 3: be very red.

559
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 2: Right.

560
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 3: Trump has chosen his attorney general, his FBI, it's his

561
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 3: Department of Justice. Now nobody's been arrested yet, No, And

562
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 3: that's redamndiculous. And I know the Republicans announced today that

563
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 3: here in two weeks there's going to be some sort

564
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 3: of big hearing in Washington.

565
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 4: And nothing's gonna come with that. You're gonna get a

566
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 4: lot of soundbites. But quite frankly, that's all the Republicans

567
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 4: have been doing this past year. A lot of sound bites,

568
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 4: not a lot of results. I mean, say what you

569
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 4: will about the Democratic Party, at least they do the

570
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 4: crazy stuff that they say they're going to. Republicans like

571
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 4: to talk up a big game and talk up get

572
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 4: all these sound bites to put out there, to make

573
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 4: these cool edits on Twitter and Instagram, and then nothing

574
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 4: ever happens. You just they hope you forget about the

575
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 4: story after that.

576
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 3: The Democrats, when they say they're going to indict Trump

577
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 3: for bull crap, they do it right. When they say

578
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,719
Speaker 3: they want to get a mug shot of Donald Trump,

579
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 3: they get it. The Republicans will have James Comer huffing

580
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 3: and puffing, and we're gonna play amazing audio on the

581
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 3: show of when it happens, and then nothing will happen.

582
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 3: Nobody will go to jail. And this is how it

583
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 3: works all the time. Fauci got away with it big

584
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 3: Tech got away with it, and whoever the hell is

585
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 3: in charge of this big fraud system in Minnesota, they're.

586
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 2: Also going to get away with it.

587
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 3: This is the wishy, washy, squish ass Republican Party, as

588
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 3: hard as Donald Trump is, and he's.

589
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: Borderline gangster right right.

590
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 3: Not everybody's got that lion heart in him, Not everybody's

591
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 3: got that dog in him, so to speak. And the

592
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 3: Republicans are so weak when it comes to this kind

593
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 3: of stuff. I want arrests. It's the Hammer of Nigel Show.

594
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 6: Hammer and Nigel.

595
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,880

596
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 7: So let.

00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 5: really is. And one of the things you have to remember,

621
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 5: especially if you're partying downtown, maybe you have a big

622
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,400

00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 5: And it's under construction.

625

631
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 5: stay sober tonight. Or use a ride share. Yeah, use

632
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 5: the ride share as a big one. It's a busy

633
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 5: night for ride shares.

634
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 3: It might cost you a little more, there might be

635
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 3: a delay, but it's better than getting pulled over and

636
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 3: going to jail.

637
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 5: Yeah. I've had that before, and that's a very expensive process.

638
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 5: And even worse than that is I still kind of

639
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 5: deal with those things a little bit. But one of

640
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 5: the big things is using that ride share and paying

641
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 5: the extra dollar for that, And it's not so much

642
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 5: you have to worry about yourself. You have to do

643
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 5: that a little bit. It's going to be everybody else,

644
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 5: like you said here, or it's going to be you know,

645
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 5: the people who don't drink a lot and making those

646
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 5: bad decisions, and especially if you're ordering the ride share.

647
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 5: Another thing I want to think about, and I don't

648
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 5: want to be the downer guys, but you think back

649
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 5: in twenty nineteen, there was this awful murder of this woman,

650
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 5: this twenty one year old law student who got in

651
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 5: the wrong uber and there was the child locks and everything,

652
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 5: and I won't get into detail because it's just a horrific,

653
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 5: but she got in the wrong uber, So make sure

654
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 5: you're standing with the people you love until that car

655
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 5: comes and make sure they're getting into the right car.

656
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 5: That's one of the big things with ride sharing and

657
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,479
Speaker 5: ordering it. Make sure that vehicle is intended for you,

658
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,959
Speaker 5: and make sure it's in the actual ride share and

659
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 5: not just some person just pulling up and wanted to

660
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 5: take you home because you look good or whatever.

661
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm.

662
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 3: Glad you bring this up because there are a lot

663
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 3: of I think predominantly young ladies in the city that

664
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 3: might not feel comfortable carrying a firearm or carrying a

665
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 3: knife or some sort of weapon, even mace. So it's

666
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 3: so important if you're not going to carry anything, which

667
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 3: I would highly advise you do so, but if you

668
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 3: don't feel comfortable doing that, you've got to make sure

669
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 3: everything is right before you get into that stranger's car.

670
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 5: Maybe some bear masa pepper spray or something like that, sparsially, yeah,

671
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 5: something you could just tuck away and whatever you're carrying.

672
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 5: This is the night, and you know it's guys, this

673
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 5: is harder for us to do, but this is the night.

674
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 5: Whether you're buddying in or you're going with a couple.

675
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 5: You look at the other people and you say, no,

676
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 5: matter what, you're getting home safely tonight. This is the

677
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 5: night you do that. This is the night where you

678
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 5: can be the leader and you can say, hey, listen,

679
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 5: I'm gonna drink my ass off, but I'm gonna be

680
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 5: responsible enough to make sure you get a nowhere you're

681
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 5: in a lyft and you're in right eye in or whatever.

682
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 5: It is a new one that they have here. It's

683
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 5: in Drive, a new app that you can use in drive.

684
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 5: Just go to whatever app store you're using. Ad it's

685
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 5: one where you actually propose the fair to the ride

686
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 5: share driver. And that's kind of a new concept because

687
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 5: usually it's the fair, you take the fair, but this

688
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 5: one you can propose. Now. I don't know about you, guys,

689
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 5: but if it's midnight at New Year's Eve back in

690
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 5: the old life, I'm not out for negotiating. You know,

691
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 5: marketing's gonna be a very hard thing for me to do.

692
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 5: But it's another option other than driving. Just don't drive,

693
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 5: don't drink and drive. It done that. It sucks and

694
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 5: it's totally your response.

695
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 4: I could just imagine that one drunk guy come out

696
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 4: the bar with that new app just thinks he's like

697
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 4: Mark Cuban on Shark Town, trying to go it is fair.

698
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 4: On the way home. You can be sitting in the

699
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 4: parking for an hour while he's doing his best Donald

700
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 4: Trump let's make a deal impression.

701
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 5: He's going to Morrisville and he wants five bucks, five fifteen,

702
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 5: just a minute.

703
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 3: It's not like it's seventy outside, right, You're gonna be

704
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 3: in a freezing cold standing outside.

705
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 2: Matt Bear, the traffic Beast joining us.

706
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 3: He's also got an amazing podcast supporting sobriety holidays where

707
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 3: drinking is a big part of it. Again, I keep

708
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 3: bringing up Saint Patrick's day in New Year's Eve? Is

709
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 3: this tough for you?

710
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's a little bit tough. And this is

711
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 5: where the disease of addiction. I'm a recovery now acohol.

712
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 5: Like my podcast partner, right, Hedrick, a recovering addict. I'm

713
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 5: also an addict d This is where it gets a

714
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 5: little tricky with the disease of addiction and the and

715
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 5: the BS. It tells you when I go to bed

716
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 5: tonight at nine o'clock, that's what I do New Year's Eve,

717
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 5: You know, I do some work tomorrow. I want to

718
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 5: be up on one.

719
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 3: You also have an unbelievable work schedule, though you're working

720
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 3: split shifts like a morning show, and then you come

721
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 3: back and do afternoons.

722
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm still very blessed to have that. Giving some

723
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,479
Speaker 5: of my history here in the drunkenness on the air, and.

724
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 2: Hey, if they've fired people for drunkeness on the.

725
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 5: Air, well that's a little more distinct I think of mine.

726
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 5: But I look at New Year's Eve, know, I'm thinking, man,

727
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 5: you know, and I'm looking at these bars that are packed.

728
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 5: And I love me some downtown. This has been the

729
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,439
Speaker 5: closest thing to home to me. I love being down

730
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 5: here and I will go buy this Arcade bar on

731
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 5: New York Street on the way home tonight. And I

732
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 5: love myself the classic arcade. And you know there are

733
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 5: bars on the first floor and the second floor. And

734
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 5: I'm like, yeah, you could have been a part of

735
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 5: that if if you hadn't quit drinking in that I

736
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 5: was never the guy people wanted to hang out with

737
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 5: at the bar. Again, the disease of addiction, my alcoholism says,

738
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 5: go to the bar tonight, man, go be a player.

739
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 5: Dress up well, your small T shirts. Maybe they'll get

740
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 5: you somewhere. Maybe that'll be a nice breaking on the.

741
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 2: Chicks in the YouTube chat. That's all I'm gonna say.

742
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 2: Thank you when you say disease.

743
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 3: And again, I don't know if this is appropriate or not,

744
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 3: but Norm MacDonald had great joke. I thought it was funny.

745
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 3: But you tell me if it's inappropriate or not. If

746
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 3: you're gonna have a disease, alcoholism is the one you want.

747
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 3: Cancer makes your body hurt, It kills you, It makes

748
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 3: you feel miserable. Aids will just suck away all of

749
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 3: your you know, ability to breathe and function.

750
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 2: Alcohol makes you feel good.

751
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, alcohols paraphrasing, but that was the old Norm McDonald

752
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 5: ben that if you're going to have a disease, this

753
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 5: is the one you want. Hey, everything i've been addicted

754
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,919
Speaker 5: to is made me feel good, you know, to a point,

755
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 5: and then that until it does, until it doesn't, until

756
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 5: you have to have it. You have to have the

757
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,919
Speaker 5: alcohol to survive, otherwise you'll go into the dts your hands.

758
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 2: Say that again, because I think that's very powerful.

759
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, you have to have the alcohol so you survive.

760
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 5: That's that's the crazy thing about this because as bad

761
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 5: as I was, as far down as I was into

762
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 5: the abyss, I couldn't stop drinking. You want to stop drinking,

763
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 5: but your hands are shaking so badly. I remember one

764
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 5: night doing election coverage here at w I shouldn't be

765
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 5: telling these stories at way. It was before John was

766
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 5: the news director, and I was trying to run the

767
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 5: board and my hands were shaking so badly, and had

768
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 5: I started just running around the fourth floor, you know,

769
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 5: just trying to find anything. And I found something in

770
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 5: my bag and I was able to stave off those

771
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 5: handshakes for a little bit. Now I was in rehab

772
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 5: a couple of weeks later. That was a crazy thing

773
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 5: about it. I knew I was going to rehab. But

774
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 5: you can't stop drinking because alcoholic cardiac arrest and Nigel

775
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 5: I have talked about this a little bit on the air.

776
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 5: Alcoholic cardiac arrest comes to a lot of people who

777
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,720
Speaker 5: stopped drinking suddenly. So which is why I always recommend

778
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 5: professional detoxification processes when you mess with this stuff. This

779
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 5: stuff is a killer. It doesn't care about you, me

780
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 5: or anybody else. If you're far down as I was,

781
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 5: do it professionally. Do it the right way. Then get

782
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 5: with people that love you, and that's going to be

783
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 5: people in recovery.

784
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 3: Matt Bear traffic beast with us, all right, I want

785
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 3: to switch gears. Now we're all cult fans in the studio.

786
00:37:54,200 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 3: Matt is a huge, very passionate, outspoken Colts fan. Did

787
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 3: you like the move to bring in Philip Rivers? Now,

788
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 3: he didn't win any games, but he wasn't awful. I'm

789
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 3: going to play you a SoundBite of CBS commentator Danny Knell.

790
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 3: He was asked on his program if it was a

791
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 3: good thing that the Colts brought in Philip Rivers.

792
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 11: The quarterback position now is easier to play than it's

793
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 11: ever been before. You're not allowed to get touched, no

794
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 11: one can hit you. Every rule favors you. And the

795
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 11: thing that impressed me was Philip Rivers's ability to make

796
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 11: plays because.

797
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 5: Of his mind.

798
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 11: I mean watching him operate the line of scrimmage, getting

799
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 11: into even run plays that sometimes people take for granted.

800
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 11: Getting protections directed the right way allowed him to have

801
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 11: some success in all three games. He gave him a

802
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,720
Speaker 11: position to put him in a position to win those games.

803
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 11: I think it's unequivocally been a success. I know he

804
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 11: wouldn't say that because they've lost those three games. But

805
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 11: I think it's been a great story, and I think

806
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 11: it's been a real inspiration and a lesson to be

807
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 11: learned from younger quarterbacks that watch a quarterback operate and

808
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 11: win potentially with their mind if they can make those

809
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 11: closing plays.

810
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 3: That's a guy that's been a quarterback in the league,

811
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 3: very successful college player at Florida State.

812
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 5: Your thoughts, I'm good with all that. I hated the

813
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 5: sign again Philip Rivers, though for a couple of reasons. One,

814
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 5: I'm one of the guys who as soon as I

815
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 5: heard the name Philip Rivers when Daniel Jones went down,

816
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 5: I knew. I really felt like the Colts were going

817
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 5: to sign him because it's a very Colts thing to

818
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,479
Speaker 5: do when the quarterback purgatory we've had here since Andrew

819
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 5: Luck retired and I don't know anything. I thought that

820
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 5: story was fun, but I was, okay, you have to

821
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 5: develop something. You know Riley Leonard is I guess he

822
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 5: was a quarterback from Notre Dame that was drafted. Lated

823
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 5: If you go with somebody like Philip Rivers, you know

824
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 5: he's not going to be playing next season, So what

825
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,879
Speaker 5: are we doing? What's the point of this? You don't

826
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 5: develop your franchise, and if you're really all in, you

827
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 5: can't be all in. When your franchise quarterback goes down.

828
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,720
Speaker 2: It's all over. It is over when one or two

829
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,240
Speaker 2: with Philip Rivers, maybe more or so than Riley Leonard,

830
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 2: I guess that you think.

831
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 4: I believe Roley Leonard also got hurt in that same

832
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 4: game that Daniel Jones got hurt as well too, So yeah,

833
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 4: there was a period in time where the Colts didn't

834
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 4: have an active quarterback on the rosters. Right, it feels

835
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 4: like the Philip Rivers signning was something out of desperation

836
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:14,959
Speaker 4: rather than a legit move.

837
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 3: To the Jacksonville game, you had Rivers, I'm sorry, you

838
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:23,240
Speaker 3: had your starting quarterback go down with then Achilles Daniel Jones,

839
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 3: and then Riley comes in. He's not bad, but he

840
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 3: gets a concussion, he gets another injury. And oh, by

841
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 3: the way, the guy you invested an early draft pick

842
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 3: on basically can't see because he smacked himself with a

843
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 3: workout band. So that was your quarterback room at the time.

844
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 5: Of stretching exercise too. Just an amazing season for the Colts.

845
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 5: I having said all of this, I'm at the point

846
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 5: where I say, bring back Daniel Jones, do the money.

847
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 5: I don't want to tag him, do the franchise tag,

848
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 5: but I'd like to bring him back and go with

849
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 5: this newclease again next year. Not necessarily with the GM

850
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 5: and the head coach, but I think there were some really,

851
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 5: really freaking good football players on this team and.

852
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 2: Got to find a pass rush of some cod some con.

853
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 4: You've got to fire. Somebody can't start eight and two

854
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 4: and not make the pain. Somebody's gonna lose their job

855
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 4: because of that.

856
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 6: Psents.

857
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 8: It depends upon what the meaning of the word is.

858
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:32,200

00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 3: I'll run these stories by you. You tell me if

865
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 3: they're anything or not.

866
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 4: Let's do it.

867
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 3: Dayline, New York, an Italian restaurant is selling a seven

868
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 3: pound spaghetti in meatball dish, not spaghetti and spaghetti in

869
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 3: this is where the pasta is baked inside of a big,

870
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 3: badass meatball. One meatball loaded with spaghetti is supposed to

871
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 3: feed twelve people and it costs.

872
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 2: One hundred and fifty bucks. Is this anything?

873
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 4: Yeah? This is something I mean, I mean price aside,

874
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 4: it sounds amazing.

875
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 3: Dude, feeding twelve people for one hundred and fifty bucks

876
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 3: seven pounds pretty good value, right, especially in New York.

877
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 4: City of all places. But a seven pound meatball. I

878
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 4: just I need to see what a seven pound meatball

879
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 4: looks like in front of me, and knowing that it's

880
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 4: got spaghetti baked inside of it, right, that sounds amazing.

881
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 3: Now I've got issues with each one feeds twelve people.

882
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 3: That's like when you get a frozen pizza and it says, oh,

883
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 3: this might feed two to three people.

884
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 2: Who eats the whole thing by themselves? Anybody? All right,

885
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 2: everybody's hand is up in the duties.

886
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 4: Frozen pizzas are extremely small, but they act like because

887
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 4: they have twelve really small slices, they say, oh that

888
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 4: could feed three people.

889
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 3: Right, would you buy like a miniature bag of Cheetos

890
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 3: from the gas station, or like a candy bar serving

891
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 3: size two.

892
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 2: It's not two, it's not it's.

893
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 3: Going into my fat ass directly. Sober one serving size

894
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:36,280
Speaker 3: is one. So if you're telling me a seven pound

895
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 3: meatball that's supposed to feed twelve people as loaded with

896
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 3: spaghetti on the inside, I'm cutting that number in half.

897
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,240
Speaker 2: I'm saying it's probably five to six.

898
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 4: Which is still amazing. Is this anything?

899
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 3: The has Burrow Toy Company just announced that it has

900
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 3: successfully trademarked the smell of play dough. They describe the

901
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 3: scent of Plato as quote sweet, slightly musky, vanilla like

902
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 3: with a fragrance with slight overtones of cherry and the

903
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 3: natural smell of salted wheat based dough. The smell of

904
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 3: Plato has been trademarked.

905
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 2: Is this anything?

906
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say no, because what are they gonna do

907
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 4: with this. I'm assuming they already have Plato itself trademark

908
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 4: because they invented that. What exactly are they gonna do

909
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 4: with the trademarked smell of it? Because if you already

910
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 4: have Plato trademarked and you're making Plato, you already have

911
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 4: the smell. Are they wanting to make like candles that

912
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 4: smell like Plato or that could be I'm just confused

913
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 4: on what they're actually gonna do with this trademark of

914
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 4: the smell of Plato.

915
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 2: The scented candle industry is a big industry. True.

916
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 3: I got suckered into buying a candle because it's said

917
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 3: it's smelled like the lobby of the Flamingo Hotel in

918
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 3: Las Vegas, which is a mixture of a couple different

919
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 3: perfumes and cashmere and vanilla and a couple different things.

920
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 3: If you've been to Vegas, you know the Flamingo scot

921
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 3: its distinctive smell.

922
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 2: So I bought a candle that smelled like it. Eh.

923
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 2: Eh was my review of it. Is this anything? A

924
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 2: couple in Texas thought that armageddon was about to happen,

925
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 2: so they gave away all of their stuff. They started

926
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 2: handing out one hundred dollars bills to random people at

927
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,320
Speaker 2: a park, and they may have set their own house

928
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 2: on fire.

929
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 3: They were seen arrested and walking away from it as

930
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 3: the blaze was happening, kind of like the Joker and

931
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 3: Batman walking away from the hospital exploding.

932
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:45,760
Speaker 2: Oh by the way they were naked. Is this anything?

933
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 4: This is something? I want to know what they saw

934
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 4: that made them think armageddon like was on the way.

935
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 4: Like this reminds me of like it's New Year's so

936
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 4: twenty five years ago when the Y two K stuff

937
00:45:58,040 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 4: was happening and everybody thought that the world was going

938
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 4: to end, and I remember seeing like people were buying

939
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 4: actual like nuclear bomb shelters just for nothing to happen

940
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 4: at all. I mean, this is something because I imagine

941
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 4: if I'm just a random citizen in this town and

942
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 4: I get handed one hundred dollars bill.

943
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 3: All right, great, thank you so much, have a great armageddon. Right,

944
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 3: tell me that you watch MSNBC without telling me you

945
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 3: watch MSNBC because they probably hurt somebody say Trump is

946
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 3: going to be the dictator that ends our democracy and

947
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 3: these morons who probably are a little screwy. I'm going

948
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 3: to bet the elevator doesn't go all the way to

949
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 3: the top here.

950
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:37,919
Speaker 4: You mean the nude people that lit their house on fire?

951
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 4: Are all there?

952
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 2: Those people?

953
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm going to bet they took it literally And

954
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 3: next thing you know, they're naked, they're in a park,

955
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 3: they're passing out hondows and their house is burning down.

956
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 2: I've seen it a million times.

957
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 10: Can I just say I know what a crackhead sounds

958
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 10: like when I hear it.

959
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 5: If there had to be drugs involved?

960
00:46:55,920 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 2: Right, It doesn't say, but one would assume, right, one

961
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 2: would assume it's the Hammer and Nigel Show.

962
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 6: She would listening to The Hammer and Nigel Show.

963
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 3: Thank you for spending a small part of your New

964

965
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:19,200

966
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:24,280
Speaker 3: filling in for Miss Allison and the boy Chris Hammer

967
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:25,959
Speaker 3: in the passenger seat here.

968
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,399
Speaker 2: How's it been the last couple of days? You had fun?

969
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 4: Oh, I've had a lot of fun here. I think

970
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 4: I saw a comment on Facebook it said that for

971
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 4: the month of December, it's almost like I've worked more

972
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:35,919
Speaker 4: than Nigel this month.

973
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 2: Oh, there's no almost to it.

974
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 3: You have, you have, and by the way, that's two days, ironically,

975
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 3: So congratulations. Got a response on Twitter from a listener

976
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,359
Speaker 3: that said, Hey, listening to you guys, I'm at work.

977
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 3: I'm up here in Cocomo. But it's starting to snow,

978
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 3: so they're getting some snow in Cookemo. Those beach boys

979
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 3: are full of crap, but they're getting the snow up there.

980
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:06,280
Speaker 2: So hey, northsiders, folks.

981
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 3: North of Marion County, you're going to get it, probably

982
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 3: a little worse than us here downtown. But be careful

983
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 3: and please let me know if this affects the hip

984
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 3: hugger in any way. From a national perspective, man, I

985
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 3: gotta tell you, I think our country is going in

986
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 3: the right direction. I do you look at what's happening

987
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 3: at the border. Crime numbers are going down, inflation down

988
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 3: to the mid twos. The GDP last time I checked

989
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 3: was four point three percent. We keep hearing from all

990
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 3: these economic experts that twenty twenty six is going to

991
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 3: be an economic boom.

992
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 2: We'll see.

993
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 3: But I think when you look at all the things

994
00:48:53,080 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 3: that actually matter Chris, inflation, crime, the border, all of

995
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 3: those things are trending in the right direction here, I'll

996
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 3: take it.

997
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,760
Speaker 4: That's right. Yeah, they're definitely turning in the right direction.

998
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 4: If you know, if you just look at the numbers,

999
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 4: you would see that. But sadly, like everybody thinks that

1000
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 4: the world's coming to an end because you watch any

1001
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 4: news program whatsoever, any legacy media. They'll tell you that, Oh,

1002
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 4: our country has never been worse. This is the worst

1003
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 4: time in our country's history. This is worse than like

1004
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:22,359
Speaker 4: World War two era.

1005
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 3: Right, everybody tries to one up themselves with the shock factor, right,

1006
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 3: And it's funny. I always laugh at trolls of this

1007
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,839
Speaker 3: radio station that say Hammer and Nigel, those guys are

1008
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 3: shock jocks, which, by the way, that is such an

1009
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 3: eighties term, shock jocks, right, like we've got naked porn

1010
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:46,760
Speaker 3: stars in here running around or something. No, first of all,

1011
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 3: we just speak the truth from this program. We can

1012
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 3: be a little crass at times, but that's how dudes talk.

1013
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 3: This is a show hosted by dudes, and for the

1014
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 3: most part we're talking to dudes.

1015
00:49:59,280 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 4: Now.

1016
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 2: We love our eighties.

1017
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 3: We love our ladies around here, the crazy Coupon Lady

1018
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 3: and on the YouTube chat the folks that you know

1019
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 3: interact with us on social media are pal Claudia. We

1020
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 3: love the ladies around here, right, But we're dudes.

1021
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:13,359
Speaker 2: This is how we.

1022
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,359
Speaker 4: Talk the way I described it as you guys talk

1023
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 4: about stuff the way that people talk about stuff in

1024
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 4: the real world. Thank you, I do you want to hear.

1025
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 3: That's it shock jocks, you know, since you're using that

1026
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 3: phrase at the height of its popularity. Once you go

1027
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 3: do the ice bucket challenge next, but you bring up

1028
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 3: the national media. Chris, we were having a conversation earlier today.

1029
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 3: You can't hate the national media enough. Now, I know

1030
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 3: that sounds a little odd coming from somebody who works

1031
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 3: in local media, but I appear on national media quite

1032
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 3: a bit.

1033
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 2: I do news hits.

1034
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 3: I've been on Fox, I've been on News Nation, I'm

1035
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 3: on OutKick every single week on the streaming platform that

1036
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:56,839
Speaker 3: Fox owns.

1037
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,399
Speaker 2: But you can't hate some of these people enough.

1038
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 3: It's been a bad year for legacy media, and right now,

1039
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 3: the way they're treating this independent journalist that broke the

1040
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 3: fraud story in Minnesota.

1041
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 4: They're not concerned about the fraud. Oh no, they could

1042
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 4: give a crap less about that.

1043
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 3: They're concerned, Well, this guy doesn't have a journalism degree.

1044
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 3: That's one of the arguments that I heard on the

1045
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 3: CNN panel.

1046
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 4: Anytime something that makes any left leaning politicists or anything

1047
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 4: in a left leaning state look bad, it's never let's

1048
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:31,359
Speaker 4: tell you what happened, it's let's see how we can

1049
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 4: cover this up and discredit this whatsoever. But again, I'll

1050
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 4: say it again, I've said it multiple times. Heaven forbid.

1051
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,959
Speaker 4: If this happened in Texas or Florida, Oh, Legacy Media

1052
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 4: will have all their trucks out in that state, reporting

1053
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 4: live from the governor's mansion. They'll stay out there all night,

1054
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 4: hounding DeSantis or whoever it would be if it was

1055
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 4: a red state.

1056
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 3: And it's been a rough year for legacy media. Legacy

1057
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 3: Media brought us the quote.

1058
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 2: Maryland manned God.

1059
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,839
Speaker 3: Now, if you don't know anything about the news, let's

1060
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 3: say you woke up from a coma from a car

1061
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 3: wreck and you turned on MS DNC or CNN and

1062
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 3: you saw the story, you would think, oh, this is awful.

1063
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 3: We deported the wrong guy. He's just a simple Maryland man.

1064
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 3: He's a dad. I can't believe the Trump administration would

1065
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 3: do this. But the real story was that this guy

1066
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 3: was a violent gang member linked to MS thirteen and oh,

1067
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 3: by the way, a domestic abuser, among other things. So yeah,

1068
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 3: you can tell him to go. I don't care if

1069
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,760
Speaker 3: he's a dad. I don't care if he's from Maryland,

1070
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,280
Speaker 3: if he's got a rap sheet longer than a CVS

1071
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 3: receipt kick rocks.

1072
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 4: I don't think I'm losing sleep over to the fact

1073
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 4: that this guy is out of the country. I have

1074
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 4: the stuff that he does here, I mean, and even

1075
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 4: with the brain, wouldn't lose sleep over that too. But

1076
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 4: because it's the world we live in now, the media

1077
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,839
Speaker 4: will wrap their heads around this and say that this

1078
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 4: guy was a great person. They're saying, a gang member,

1079
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 4: somebody that beats.

1080
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:07,240
Speaker 2: The hell out of women. But he's just a simple

1081
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 2: Maryland dad. No, he's not. No.

1082
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 3: And also the media is shifting the narrative that the

1083
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:19,760
Speaker 3: real victims in the war on drugs are these poor, innocent,

1084
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 3: struggling folks that are just trying to drive fentanyl loaded

1085
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 3: vessels in the ocean.

1086
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 2: They're pro drug boat.

1087
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 3: They are trying to make the drug dealers who want

1088
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 3: to bring in fetanyl to kill all of your teenage sons,

1089
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 3: maybe your daughters. But it's a big killer of teenage

1090
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 3: boys in this country. Fentanyl coming over in drug boats

1091
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 3: from Venezuela. Fetterman, Democratic Senator, senator himself. We've got the intelligence,

1092
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 3: we know who they are. This isn't a crapshoot. We're

1093
00:53:55,760 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 3: killing drug dealers, but CNN and ms D. They're making

1094
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 3: this sound like, well, we had to go back and

1095
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 3: bomb them again because those poor struggling survivors got back

1096
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 3: on the boat. Struggling survivors people that want to bring

1097
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 3: fentanyl in Chris to kill people your age.

1098
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,320
Speaker 4: Drug dealers that are smuggling fentanyl in throughout the country,

1099
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 4: which is a major problem in this country. And this

1100
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,760
Speaker 4: is such a horrible hill to die on, not only

1101
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 4: for legacy media, but for Democrats too. They are also

1102
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 4: in support of these just violent drug dealers, and I

1103
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 4: don't think it's going over well with the public. Like

1104
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 4: if they're gonna die on the hill that we need

1105
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 4: to be defending drug cartel members and drug smugglers, that

1106
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,919
Speaker 4: is an extremely tough sell to the American people right there.

1107
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 3: That's good enough to be popular in your inner circle

1108
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 3: of liberal butt sniffers, but it can't win you a

1109
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 3: national election, right exactly. It could win you a primary

1110
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 3: depending on the states or the district. You can't win

1111
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,439
Speaker 3: national being that level of stupid, You just can't.

1112
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 4: The swing States would not agree with you on that

1113
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 4: whatsoever right there.

1114
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 3: But I think the gold standard of hating the national

1115
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 3: media came after the Charlie Kirk assassination. Now I will

1116
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 3: give ms I'll call them by their proper name now MS.

1117
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 3: Now the artist formerly known as ms NBC, which I

1118
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 3: believe Trump dubbed them ms DNC. They had a guy

1119
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:34,840
Speaker 3: named Matthew Dowd. And this is minutes, not even an hour,

1120
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:38,919
Speaker 3: I believe, after Charlie Kirk was announced dead after being

1121
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 3: shot on stage at one of his Turning Point USA events.

1122
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 3: This clown, Matthew Dowd has the worst take of the year.

1123
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 3: So at first he claims the gun shot might have

1124
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 3: been some rowdy Trump supporter firing a gun and celebration

1125
00:55:56,520 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 3: because they love guns so much. But then if that

1126
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:04,920
Speaker 3: stupidity wasn't enough, he doubles down by saying, well, Charlie

1127
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 3: was divisive, so he was basically asking for it.

1128
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 2: This took place on the air.

1129
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 9: We don't know any the full details of this that

1130
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 9: we don't know if this was a supporter or shooting

1131
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 9: their gun off in celebration or so. We have no

1132
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:22,280
Speaker 9: idea about this. But following up what was just said,

1133
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,840
Speaker 9: he's been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger

1134
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 9: figures in this who is constantly sort of pushing this

1135
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 9: sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups.

1136
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 9: And I always go back to hateful thoughts lead to

1137
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 9: hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. And I

1138
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 9: think that's the environment we're in that people just you

1139
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 9: can't stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have

1140
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,800
Speaker 9: and then saying these awful words and not expect awful

1141
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 9: actions to take place. And that's the unfortunate environment we're in.

1142
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,360
Speaker 3: It takes a lot, I mean a lot to be

1143
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 3: the dumb guy on MSNBC, and it takes a lot

1144
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,280
Speaker 3: to get fired from ms NBC.

1145
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 2: He pulled off both.

1146
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 4: So according to Matt here, if you just have a

1147
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 4: different opinion, you are asking to get shot and killed.

1148
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 4: Is that the take he's trying to make here?

1149
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 2: That's correct?

1150
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 4: Yes, Jesus Christ.

1151
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 3: And it could have been a rowdy Trump supporter, because

1152
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 3: you know, we're all just Yosemite Sam running around firing

1153
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 3: as in theirs.

1154
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 4: After a gold rush? Here, what's going Jesus?

1155
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 3: That was the worst take of anybody in the national

1156
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 3: media in twenty twenty five. I think we need something fun.

1157
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 3: I think we need something more lighthearted to pick us

1158
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 3: up here on New Year's Eve. So stick around. Coming

1159
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 3: up after the break, the final round of Alabama jokes,

1160
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 3: making fun of those Hillbillies, those toothless.

1161
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 2: Imbreands down in Alabama.

1162
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 3: Let's got the Rose Bowl that's next tomorrow. It's on

1163
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 3: like Donkey call the Rose Bowl, the Hoosiers, the Crimson

1164
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 3: Tide for the final time. Let's crak up some good

1165
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 3: old fashioned Alabama jokes. Why couldn't baby Jesus be born

1166
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 3: in Alabama because there's no way they would find three

1167
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 3: wise men or a young virgin.

1168
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 4: Why are there so many unsolved murders in Alabama? Well

1169
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 4: that would be because there's no dental records and everyone

1170
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 4: has the same DNA.

1171
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you give an Alabama man of a sectomy?

1172
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 2: You slap his sister in the back of the head.

1173
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 4: What do tornadoes and Alabama couples getting divorced have in common?

1174
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, somebody is going to

1175
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 4: lose a trailer.

1176
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,479
Speaker 3: What did the Alabama couples say to the judge before

1177
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 3: their divorce was finalized?

1178
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 2: Do we still get to be brother and sister?

1179
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:00,080
Speaker 7: Hoo o?

1180
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 4: What is the definition of safe sex down in Alabama? Well,

1181
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 4: wrapping your cousin in bubble wrap.

1182
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 2: Should do it all.

1183
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 3: Oh, We're gonna close this with a little Hammer and

1184
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 3: Nigel Records tribute to the fan base of those trailer

1185
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 3: park trash folks from Tuscaloosa who are not only going

1186
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 3: to lose, but the Hoosiers are going.

1187
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 2: To cover tomorrow.

1188
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 3: Kurt, I'm sorry if we go over our time, but

Speaker 12: full of meat.

1194

01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 2: And that's what this is about.

1249
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 3: If you want to get drunk and crash into a tree,

1250
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 3: that's a decision that you've made. But there are people

1251
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 3: coming home from work, people going out to dinner, coming

1252
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 3: home from other gatherings tonight, innocent people out of the roads.

1253
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 3: Don't you dare endanger those folks. And again, I have

1254
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 3: made some mistakes in the past. I have never been

1255
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 3: pulled over, I've never been arrested in my life, but

1256
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 3: times are different.

1257
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 5: Now.

1258
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:06,960
Speaker 3: You don't have to make those well I want to

1259
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 3: get my car home decisions. You can go get your

1260
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,520
Speaker 3: car the next day by calling Uber again or having

1261
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 3: a buddy. Right, So, please be safe out on the

1262
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 3: roads tonight. Taking a look at some things happening around Indy.

1263
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 3: It's an end of an era today, not just the

1264
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 3: end of a year, but the end of an era.

1265
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 3: Circle Center Mall will close after today.

1266
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 4: Oh man, I didn't even realize today was its last day.

1267
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 4: But man, when that thing first opened, I remember seeing

1268
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 4: all the pictures about how much of a big deal

1269
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 4: that was. There was like a big grand opening thing

1270
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 4: where they had fireworks out there. But I went in there,

1271
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 4: I think it was about a month ago, just to

1272
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 4: get some lunch. I was on a job job working promotions.

1273
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 4: I want to go get some lunch. There's nothing left

1274
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 4: in there other than the food court. That's the only

1275
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 4: reason you would go in there is to get food.

1276
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 4: But right it is a ghost town in there. Right now,

1277
01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:02,840
Speaker 4: there's like maybe one store opening that entire facility right now.

1278
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 3: There was a time where that mall being added downtown

1279
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 3: transitioned Indie from being kind of a cool town to

1280
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 3: a major player for conventions and events.

1281
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean malls were a huge thing, Like you know,

1282
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 4: before the Internet, before Amazon, like, that was where everyone

1283
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 4: went to go hang out, you went to go do stuff.

1284
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 4: But man like with as we mentioned earlier, the rise

1285
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 4: of technology, it's kind of killing off the whole mall

1286
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 4: thing and the whole actual physical store thing.

1287
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 2: Right. And it wasn't just a mall. There was a

1288
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 2: movie theater.

1289
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 3: You had nightclubs in there, multiple nightclubs.

1290
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 4: I remember the Big Arcade used to be on the

1291
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 4: top floor used to We went there as a kid

1292
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 4: a couple of times.

1293
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 3: I can't remember what the name of the nightclub was

1294
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 3: that was on top of the Circle Center mall back

1295
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 3: in the day. But at a previous radio station I

1296
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 3: was working at. I was there because the band Digital

1297
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 3: Underground was performing that. Now, Chris, I know this is

1298
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 3: a little bit before your time. But if I say

1299
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 3: the Humpty Dance, does that do anything for you?

1300
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 4: That does I do?

1301
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 3: I am familiar with Okay, shock g A young Tupac

1302
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 3: got his teeth wet with the Underground, But the Humpty

1303
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 3: Dance was the big song. There's a signature song. They

1304
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 3: had others, but they were doing a show. I think

1305
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 3: it was World Marty Graws. Pretty sure that was the

1306
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 3: name of it. World Marti Gras and I'm there with

1307
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:29,280
Speaker 3: the radio station and great moments In Circle Center Mall History,

1308
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 3: the PR guy for Humpty Hump himself asked if I

1309
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 3: could get them weed.

1310
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 4: Oh, Now I.

1311
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 3: Did not have any on me, but I was flattered

1312
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 3: that they just looked at this radio kid and said,

1313
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 3: I bet that guy's got weed. I bet that big

1314
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 3: eared kid right over there probably knows where I can

1315
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 3: get some green, and we want Humpty to get it

1316
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:53,439
Speaker 3: from you.

1317
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:55,960
Speaker 2: It's like, well, man, I can probably make a few

1318
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 2: phone calls. I don't know what time is like right now.

1319
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 4: I did go to Beech Grove High School for the

1320
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 4: years that you could give a call to real quick.

1321
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:04,520
Speaker 3: Just give me about thirty minutes here and I'll have

1322
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 3: it delivered. But I don't know what your time frame is.

1323
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:10,480
Speaker 3: But it did not work out. But I felt flattered.

1324
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 3: That's my world, Marty Girl, Circle Center Mall Story. Also

1325
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 3: looking back at some of the crime numbers in NDY

1326
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five, and this is good news. One

1327
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:27,520
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty seven is the number of killings this

1328
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 3: past year. It's still a high number, but it's down

1329
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:38,480
Speaker 3: about thirty percent year over year, so that's good.

1330
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 2: That's good news.

1331
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 3: This number includes self defense killings, which are up, by

1332
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:50,000
Speaker 3: the way, so citizens are arming themselves exactly in justified

1333
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 3: situations and they're taking care of themselves using the Second

1334
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:58,919
Speaker 3: Amendment right that they've got. So those killings are up.

1335
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:02,680
Speaker 3: And for whatever, there are reporters in the city like

1336
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:04,800
Speaker 3: Russ McQuaid that want to make it sound like that's

1337
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 3: a bad thing, but listen, have you seen the justice

1338
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 3: system here in Marion County. Yes, some of these self

1339
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 3: defense killings, those guys will not be getting back out

1340
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 3: on the street, and maybe that's why some of the

1341
01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 3: numbers are going down. Now the mayor's office and the

1342
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 3: police department will say, well, it's a strategy that we

1343
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:28,959
Speaker 3: have in place, that's why the crime numbers are going down.

1344
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 3: We've got more faith based groups out on the streets.

1345
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:36,120
Speaker 3: I know Reverend Charles Harrison and his group. They don't

1346
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 3: work with the mayor's office for some reason, but they're

1347
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 3: still out doing their thing. There are other folks that

1348
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 3: are getting paid quite a bit of money, taxpayer money

1349
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 3: to walk the streets You could tell me it's investments

1350
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:53,000
Speaker 3: in technology with the police department, and maybe that's the

1351
01:07:53,040 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 3: case too, But I'm telling you it's armed citizens, constant

1352
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 3: situtional carry that has made a big difference here.

1353
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 2: And this is an opinion.

1354
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 3: Ever since constitutional carry was put into law in the

1355
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 3: state of Indiana, every year since then, the homicides, criminal

1356
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 3: homicides have gone down.

1357
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:18,840
Speaker 4: Because you're starting to scare these criminals. They know, well,

1358
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:21,160
Speaker 4: if the prosecutor isn't going to do his job, well,

1359
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:23,599
Speaker 4: the citizens are going to take defend themselves. They're going

1360
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:25,759
Speaker 4: to put their family at risk because they're not allowed

1361
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:27,720
Speaker 4: to defend themselves. They're going to take it into their

1362
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 4: own hands. Now you know there's a specific quote out there.

1363
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 4: Can't say the exact version of it on the radio,

1364
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:35,240
Speaker 4: but mess around and find out.

1365
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 2: That's what Oh right, yes, right.

1366
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:43,719
Speaker 3: Murders down twenty percent compared to twenty twenty four, nearly

1367
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 3: forty five percent since they peaked in twenty twenty one.

1368
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:51,160
Speaker 3: Now keep in mind, before everybody starts singing Kumbai ya

1369
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:54,880
Speaker 3: and looks like we made it, India is still outpacing

1370
01:08:55,000 --> 01:09:00,520
Speaker 3: Chicago and homicides per capita now based on the last setsis,

1371
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:04,240
Speaker 3: which I believe was In twenty twenty, Chicago's population was

1372
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:09,719
Speaker 3: around two point seven million, Indy's was I think eight hundred,

1373
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 3: eight hundred.

1374
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:11,559
Speaker 2: And fifty thousand.

1375
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:17,760
Speaker 3: So once you factor in the population difference homicides per

1376
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 3: one thousand residents, Indy still outpacing Chicago by seventeen and

1377
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:25,160
Speaker 3: a half percent.

1378
01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous.

1379
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous. Now, Listen, Chicago is probably doctoring the numbers.

1380
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 3: But let not act like Indy probably doesn't do the

1381
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 3: same all major cities do. I mean, if we're being

1382
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 3: one hundred percent honest here, right, If you're looking for

1383
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 3: some fun things to do tonight, queue up some movies,

1384
01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:45,400

01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:49,720
Speaker 3: movies that will time out perfectly for your midnight celebration.

1386
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:54,280

Speaker 2: Now.

1422
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 3: I don't know what they've got planned, but in the

1423
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 3: years past, they thought a good programming decision was to

1424
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 3: have Anderson Cooper. That's right, that guy, Anderson Cooper drinking

1425
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:56,679
Speaker 3: tequila on the air.

1426

01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:14,240

1431
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 2: What the hell was that?

1432
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 4: Christ?

1433
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:22,679
Speaker 3: That sounded like that scene and Revenge of the Nerds

1434
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 3: where Poindexter was watching the video of the Pies and

1435
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 3: got a little excited. Okay, now let's compare and contrast

1436
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 3: Anderson Cooper tequila with an excited Poindexter. That's the same sound.

1437
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, that's the exact same seven. That was one

1438
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 3: clip that might have been Matt Bear, now that I

1439
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:50,200
Speaker 3: think about it, Matt.

1440
01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:55,519

Speaker 7: Combs trial, because that took up. It started in May

1480
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:42,280
Speaker 7: and it took up all the way through July. It

1481
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 7: took up a big chunk, I would say, of the

1482
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 7: year with throughout like free trial trial, the daily updates,

1483
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:49,800
Speaker 7: the crazy stories, I mean.

1484
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:52,960
Speaker 8: And here's another another little hibit for you.

1485
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:55,880

1486
01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:58,240
Speaker 7: backup dancing, and so I know a lot about the

1487
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 7: music industry, and I know a lot of the things

1488
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 7: that had happened are very much so true.

1489
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:04,240

1490
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:06,240
Speaker 7: I have not been to a ditty party, but I

1491
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:08,880
Speaker 7: do know what producers are.

1492
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:12,960
Speaker 8: How should I say this that is PG rated or

1493
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:13,519
Speaker 8: G rated.

1494
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:16,679
Speaker 2: You could keep it radio plates. This is the show

1495
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:20,240
Speaker 2: that has as.

1496
01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:21,960
Speaker 7: What you heard throughout the trial and some of the stories,

1497
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 7: that is just like a dime a dozen.

1498
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:24,640
Speaker 8: That's what they do.

1499
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:27,599
Speaker 7: They want you to You're basically signing your life away

1500
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:29,400
Speaker 7: when you go into the music industry. I had a

1501
01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:32,240
Speaker 7: contract and I did not sign it because a lot

1502
01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:35,000
Speaker 7: of it was very immoral and I did not want

1503
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:37,480
Speaker 7: to partake in a lot of those activities.

1504
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:39,559
Speaker 3: The fourteen year old with a fake ideas that this

1505
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:40,799
Speaker 3: is where I draw the well.

1506
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:44,559
Speaker 8: At the time. At the time, I was nineteen years old.

1507
01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:46,439
Speaker 8: So I finally, you know, to me, I grew up.

1508
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:48,639
Speaker 8: I was like, oh, I'm past that and for you

1509
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 8: you know, And so I did not sign those crazy contracts.

1510
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:55,519
Speaker 3: But that wasn't just some sort of wild conspiracy theory

1511
01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 3: that those lube parties and all that kind of stuff

1512
01:15:58,520 --> 01:15:59,000
Speaker 3: take place.

1513
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:01,360
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, no, no, not a conspiracy at all. It's

1514
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:03,439
Speaker 7: a lot of that and it's a way for them

1515
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 7: to control you. That's how they like to control people

1516
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 7: in the music industry.

1517
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 3: Okay, so that trial takes place, some would say did

1518
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:13,840
Speaker 3: he get to slap on the wrist. He gets hit

1519
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:18,320
Speaker 3: with the prostitution charges taking prostitutes across state line, but

1520
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:23,280
Speaker 3: nothing from a sex offender or human trafficking standpoint.

1521
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:24,599
Speaker 8: Which mots to fifty months.

1522
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:27,479
Speaker 2: And that's it right, Okay, so we've got that.

1523
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:29,080
Speaker 4: What else do we have? Oh? Next?

1524
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:29,320

01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:42,920
Speaker 8: My favorite one was the cats. There was cats each other.

1529
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:43,920
Speaker 8: It was my favorite.

1530
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:47,320
Speaker 2: I think and a dog hugging each other at one point.

1531
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:49,719
Speaker 7: But I just felt like it literally took the world

1532
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:52,600
Speaker 7: by storm, like seeing all the comments, the memes.

1533
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 2: It lived on for weeks.

1534
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 3: I felt like and AI was a big part of

1535
01:16:57,080 --> 01:17:00,080
Speaker 3: this too, because I dabbled a little AI creation And

1536
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:02,320
Speaker 3: I'm kicking myself that I didn't strike while the iron

1537
01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:05,320
Speaker 3: was hot, because the trend was take two people who

1538
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:08,760
Speaker 3: shouldn't be together and make them like hugging. How did

1539
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 3: I not do Tony Kats in a ladder like? How

1543
01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1544
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:23,559
Speaker 7: Well, what's so funny was if they didn't may have

1545
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:26,599
Speaker 7: that such a big reaction, nobody would have noticed anything

1546
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:29,439
Speaker 7: new cared it was the whole fact of what they did.

1547
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:32,320
Speaker 2: But then the Coldplay front man was like, Hey, I

1548
01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:37,240

1549
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:39,280

1566
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:23,519
Speaker 4: a few days after that. Yeah, that was a pretty

1567
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:24,799
Speaker 4: bad week in terms of celebrities.

1568
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 8: Also died July twenty fourth, and he was seventy one.

1569
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 3: Bad week for the whites. Like my buddy was right,

1570
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:32,040
Speaker 3: like he wanted to check on us, make sure we

1571
01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:33,920
Speaker 3: were good. But that was a rough week for.

1572
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:36,840
Speaker 7: The whites, all right, So that was three and four.

1573
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:39,280
Speaker 7: So number five for me would be in August. You know,

01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:50,720
Speaker 4: I thot we're talking about dynamite here.

1578
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:53,120
Speaker 2: We blew somebody up.

1579
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 8: But I missed it said T and T. I don't know.

1580
01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:57,400
Speaker 7: I don't really pay attention to them, although I do

1581
01:18:57,640 --> 01:18:59,719
Speaker 7: know that was a really big, huge deal.

1582
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:04,160
Speaker 2: Was a huge pop culture story. Yes, but the fact

1583
01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:06,720
Speaker 2: that you called him TNT, you just lost all the

1584
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:09,720
Speaker 2: cool street cred. Like I don't even care that you

1585
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:12,320
Speaker 2: were a fourteen year old lunatic in Tijuana anymore.

1586
01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:15,120
Speaker 3: Like, don't ever call that T and T ever ever Again,

1587
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:21,720
Speaker 3: we've mentioned Ozzie and Hawk Hogan, any other celebrity passings

1588
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:23,360
Speaker 3: that moved the needle this past year.

1589
01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:27,479
Speaker 8: I feel like those two needle I mean.

1590
01:19:27,439 --> 01:19:30,760
Speaker 3: There was I mean, obviously Charlie Kirk's killing, which was

1591
01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:36,559
Speaker 3: the biggest news story of the year. You had Brian Wilson.

1592
01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:39,439
Speaker 3: Many would say of the Beach Boys, one of the

1593
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:41,160
Speaker 3: great songwriters of all time.

1594
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:42,439
Speaker 2: Now, the Beach Boys.

1595
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:46,920
Speaker 3: Weren't writing meaningful songs per se, but they inspired that

1596
01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:52,200
Speaker 3: whole California era, the Beach Boys. You had George Foreman's passing.

1597
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:56,080
Speaker 3: We talked about boxing earlier. How I wish boxing were

1598
01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:58,240
Speaker 3: as good today as it used to be.

1599
01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 2: Back in the day. Were certainly lejitimate.

1600
01:20:01,080 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 4: Uh.

1601
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:04,760
Speaker 3: Folks of my dad's era would say, George Foreman, bad man.

1602
01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 3: And then you got the folks from another generation will say,

1603
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:09,000
Speaker 3: that's the grill guy.

1604
01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 2: Oh, the George Foreman grill.

1605
01:20:11,479 --> 01:20:13,680
Speaker 4: You still have it. I have a George for That

1606
01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:14,120
Speaker 4: would be me.

1607
01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:15,559
Speaker 8: I would say, that's the girl guy.

1608
01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:18,000
Speaker 4: George mcgrill is awesome. You can do so much stuff.

1609
01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:18,720
Speaker 2: You still use it.

1610
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:20,800
Speaker 4: I still do use it, really, especially during the winter

1611
01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:22,439
Speaker 4: time when I don't want to actually go outside in

1612
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:24,400
Speaker 4: this weather. To my actual grill. Yeah, I just put

1613
01:20:24,439 --> 01:20:26,280

1633
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:32,559
Speaker 3: Cruz from the newsroom about celebrity deaths this past year,

1634
01:21:32,680 --> 01:21:34,599
Speaker 3: and time became a factor.

1635
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:35,720
Speaker 2: We had the news coming up.

1636
01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:37,720
Speaker 3: We had to cut our conversation a little short there,

1637
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 3: but we mentioned Hawk Hogan and Ozzy Osbourne and Brian

1638
01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:46,720
Speaker 3: Wilson and some other folks. There were quite a few

1639
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:48,639
Speaker 3: names that we left off the board.

1640
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:49,840
Speaker 2: Chris Right.

1641
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:52,439
Speaker 4: Val Kilmer I believe was this year as well. Top

1642
01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:53,240
Speaker 4: gun Man.

1643
01:21:54,360 --> 01:21:56,599
Speaker 3: I loved Real Genius, like when he was still doing

1644
01:21:56,720 --> 01:22:00,400
Speaker 3: slapstick comedy before he became like a serious actor.

1645
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 2: Real Genius was fantastic with Val Kilmer.

1646
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:05,720
Speaker 4: Oh yes, oh yes, this one kind of hit me.

1647
01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 4: I thought it was last year, but I guess this

1648
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:10,240
Speaker 4: did take place in January. Was Bob Yuker, mister Baseball,

1649
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:13,000
Speaker 4: long time announcer for the Brewers in Major League. He

1650
01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:15,800
Speaker 4: was amazing in Major League that movie. He was one

1651
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:17,519
Speaker 4: of the lifebloods of that movie right there. It's one

1652
01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:18,960
Speaker 4: of the reasons it's one of my favorite movies of

1653
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:19,400
Speaker 4: all time.

1654
01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:22,519
Speaker 3: And to this day, if you're watching a baseball game

1655
01:22:22,560 --> 01:22:24,639
Speaker 3: and you see a pitcher I throw a wild pitch,

1656
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:28,839
Speaker 3: you probably quote just the bit outside I played.

1657
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:30,759
Speaker 4: Baseball growing up. Every time we saw it in the dugout,

1658
01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:32,680
Speaker 4: that's that's what we said. That was the line. It

1659
01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:36,120
Speaker 4: could be over the net for anyone sit in whatever,

1660
01:22:36,439 --> 01:22:38,720
Speaker 4: and it's always just a bit outside, he tried the

1661
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:39,360
Speaker 4: corner and missed.

1662
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 3: In February, Gene Hackman and his wife found dead in

1663
01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:46,120
Speaker 3: their house. Of course, Gene Hackman best known in these

1664
01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:49,120
Speaker 3: parts as coach Norman Dale in the movie Hoosier, but

1665
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:52,600
Speaker 3: one of the great Hollywood actors of all time. I

1666
01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 3: want to say, if I remember properly, that was like

1667
01:22:55,880 --> 01:23:00,320
Speaker 3: a gas leak issue in their home because they had

1668
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:03,120
Speaker 3: been dead in there for a while. Yeah, and I

1669
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:08,000
Speaker 3: remember that. Yeah, it was a wild story. But Gene Hackman,

1670
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:13,439
Speaker 3: we lost him. This year we mentioned George Foreman, Pope Francis,

1671
01:23:14,439 --> 01:23:17,760
Speaker 3: the Woke Pope, as many referred to him as, dying

1672
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:20,320
Speaker 3: at the age of eighty eight. If I say the

1673
01:23:20,439 --> 01:23:24,120
Speaker 3: name Steve Mango McMichael, does that do anything for you?

1674
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:25,280
Speaker 2: Does not?

1675
01:23:25,439 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 4: Does not ring a bell for me?

1676
01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:27,840
Speaker 2: I bet you've seen a video.

1677
01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 6: Though.

1678
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:34,400
Speaker 3: Former Chicago Bears defensive lineman became a professional wrestler beloved

1679
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:37,200
Speaker 3: in Chicago, and there was one night where he was

1680
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:40,000
Speaker 3: singing the seventh inning stretch at a Cubs game when

1681
01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:43,280
Speaker 3: Angel Hernandez was the umpire behind home plate and was

1682
01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:48,600
Speaker 3: just butchering calls left and right, and a possibly overserved

1683
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:49,719
Speaker 3: Steve Mango.

1684
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:53,439
Speaker 2: McMichael gets on the microphone. I'm going to have a

1685
01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:55,880
Speaker 2: talk with that umpire after the game. I was straighten

1686
01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:56,360
Speaker 2: him out.

1687
01:23:56,439 --> 01:23:58,439
Speaker 4: I remember this. I've seen this clip before and correct

1688
01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:00,240
Speaker 4: me if I'm wrong. I think I love the scene

1689
01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:02,400
Speaker 4: where they just panned Angel Hernandez's face and he's just

1690
01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:03,519
Speaker 4: standing there all mad.

1691
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 2: He throws him out.

1692
01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:05,560
Speaker 4: I think he throws him out the game after the

1693
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:07,920
Speaker 4: end of the Symphathony stretch there threw him out.

1694
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:13,040
Speaker 3: Norm from Cheers, one of the Chicago Bears super fans, George,

1695
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:17,439

Speaker 3: guy that's pretty shady in his own right, Jimmy Swaggert.

1699
01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:36,759
Speaker 3: If you grew up in the early eighties mid eighties,

Speaker 3: you remember all the televangelists on TV. Jimmy Swaggered Crooked

01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:03,920
Speaker 2: with the Indians at Victory Field.

1707

1711
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:12,639
Speaker 2: Because you're old man. For those who don't know, it's

Speaker 2: a family show today, Kurt is my cousin.

1713
01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:17,920
Speaker 3: Your dad is my cousin, and I grew up playing

1714
01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:21,080
Speaker 3: baseball with your old man, and we're Cub fans, and

1715
01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:23,559
Speaker 3: we grew up in the Rhino Andre Dawson era.

1716
01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:24,639
Speaker 5: Yep. I got the jersey.

1717
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:27,280
Speaker 10: I was working promotions for the station he was there,

1718
01:25:27,400 --> 01:25:29,280
Speaker 10: got some pictures and he ended up signing the jersey

1719
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:31,519
Speaker 10: that my dad still has, so rest in peace to

1720
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:32,320
Speaker 10: the Goat.

1721
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:36,080
Speaker 3: Really, Cup fans, I mean he was your modern day

1722
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:39,320
Speaker 3: mister Cub. Ernie Banks will always be mister Cub, but

1723
01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:41,679
Speaker 3: like a modern day was Rhino and he's a mortal.

1724
01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:44,120
Speaker 4: I believe he has a statue outside Wrigley Field. Yes, right,

1725
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:46,080
Speaker 4: number retired. Nobody can wear twenty three YEP.

1726
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 2: Actress Lannie Anderson, former love interest of one Burt Reynolds,

1727
01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:55,120
Speaker 2: star of w KRP passing away at seventy nine.

1728
01:25:55,520 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 3: Chris, I know you're a space nerd Jim Lovell of

1729
01:25:59,479 --> 01:26:04,559
Speaker 3: Apollo thirteen, Commander Fame, Long Life Man, Great Life, lived

1730
01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:05,360
Speaker 3: at ninety seven.

1731
01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:07,120
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, a lot of stuff. He's seen a lot

1732
01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:08,960
Speaker 4: of stuff that nobody on this earth will ever see

1733
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:11,679
Speaker 4: that he's seen right there, especially on that Apollo thirteen mission.

1734
01:26:12,200 --> 01:26:15,880
Speaker 3: You want to talk about iconic Hollywood actors, Robert Redford

1735
01:26:16,760 --> 01:26:20,680
Speaker 3: The Natural, dying at the age of eighty nine. Did

1736
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:24,280
Speaker 3: you ever watch The Natural? It's a baseball movie, but

1737
01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:27,040
Speaker 3: it's a little before your time. I know you're a

1738
01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:28,599
Speaker 3: baseball kid, right.

1739
01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:30,840
Speaker 4: I don't think I have. If I have, maybe i've

1740
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:32,160
Speaker 4: seen like clips of it, but I don't think i've

1741
01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:32,439
Speaker 4: ever seen.

1742
01:26:32,479 --> 01:26:34,639
Speaker 3: Okay, your assignment. Next time you come back, I want

1743
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:36,639
Speaker 3: you to sit down and have a viewing of The Natural.

1744
01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:37,040
Speaker 4: Okay.

1745
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:42,799
Speaker 3: Jane goodall the groundbreaking scientists that worked with the chimps.

1746
01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:48,960
Speaker 3: She passed away. Diane Keaton, actress seventy nine years old.

1747
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:54,680
Speaker 3: Kiss guitarist Ace Freely seventy four years old. And then

1748
01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:59,080
Speaker 3: you get into what took place in December. Rob Reiner

1749
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 3: and his wife they murdered in their home. So those

1750
01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:05,280
Speaker 3: were some of the folks that we lost this past

1751
01:27:05,400 --> 01:27:08,560
Speaker 3: year in twenty twenty five. Let's get you up to

1752
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 3: date on some other things happening in the world right now.

1753
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 3: I said this earlier. Anybody been arrested in Minnesota? Uh zero, Nope, naa, okay,

1754
01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:24,240
Speaker 3: because I know AHHS just froze all childcare payments to Minnesota.

1755
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:29,439
Speaker 3: They're trying to work on this billion dollar fraud story.

1756
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:33,160
Speaker 3: But nobody's been arrested yet. And I find this to

1757
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:36,240
Speaker 3: be redamdiculous because I bet if it were Chris Hammer,

1758
01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:40,840
Speaker 3: oh yeah, or Kurt Jerald's or myself that were embezzling

1759
01:27:40,960 --> 01:27:45,719
Speaker 3: money from Urban One or Lily or some major Indiana

1760
01:27:45,840 --> 01:27:49,160
Speaker 3: company here, we would already be behind bars.

1761
01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:51,000
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, especially if it takes place in a red

1762
01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 4: state like Indiana or Florida. We might even be looking

1763
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:54,640
Speaker 4: at the chair at this point. With the way the

1764
01:27:54,680 --> 01:27:55,720
Speaker 4: political climate.

1765
01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:58,599
Speaker 3: Is, you know, And the thing that's frustrating is, right now,

1766
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:02,960
Speaker 3: the political climate at a national level, at the federal level,

1767
01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:04,559
Speaker 3: should be very red.

1768
01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:05,200
Speaker 4: Right.

1769
01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:09,080
Speaker 3: Trump has chosen his attorney general, his FBI, it's his

1770
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:13,080
Speaker 3: Department of Justice. Now nobody's been arrested yet, No and

1771
01:28:13,160 --> 01:28:17,519
Speaker 3: that's redamndiculous. And I know the Republicans announced today that

1772
01:28:18,080 --> 01:28:19,880
Speaker 3: here in two weeks there's gonna be some sort of

1773
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:22,160
Speaker 3: big hearing in Washington.

1774
01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:23,680
Speaker 4: And nothing's gonna come with that. You're gonna get a

1775
01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:26,360
Speaker 4: lot of sound bites. But quite frankly, that's all the

1776
01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:28,560
Speaker 4: Republicans have been doing this past year. A lot of

1777
01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:31,240
Speaker 4: sound bites, not a lot of results. I mean, say

1778
01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:33,760
Speaker 4: what you will about the Democratic Party. At least they

1779
01:28:33,880 --> 01:28:36,160
Speaker 4: do the crazy stuff that they say they're gonna do.

1780
01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:39,080
Speaker 4: Republicans like to talk up a big game and talk up,

1781
01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:40,680
Speaker 4: get all these sound bites to put out there, to

1782
01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:44,160
Speaker 4: make these cool edits on Twitter and Instagram, and then

1783
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:46,479
Speaker 4: nothing ever happens. You just hope you forget about the

1784
01:28:46,479 --> 01:28:47,040
Speaker 4: story after that.

1785
01:28:47,720 --> 01:28:51,599
Speaker 3: The Democrats, when they say they're going to indict Trump

1786
01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:54,479
Speaker 3: for bull crap, they do it right. When they say

1787
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:56,639
Speaker 3: they want to get a mug shot of Donald Trump,

1788
01:28:57,040 --> 01:29:01,839
Speaker 3: they get it. The Republicans will have James huffing and puffing,

1789
01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:04,960
Speaker 3: and we're gonna play amazing audio on this show of

1790
01:29:05,080 --> 01:29:08,960
Speaker 3: when it happens, and then nothing will happen. Nobody will

1791
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:11,439
Speaker 3: go to jail. And this is how it works. All

1792
01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:12,040
Speaker 3: the time.

1793
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:16,040
Speaker 2: Fauci got away with it, Big Tech got away with it,

1794
01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:17,240
Speaker 2: and whoever the.

1795
01:29:17,280 --> 01:29:21,080
Speaker 3: Hell is in charge of this big fraud system in Minnesota,

1796
01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:24,040
Speaker 3: they're also going to get away with it. This is

1797
01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:28,640
Speaker 3: the wishy, washy, squish ass Republican Party, as hard as

1798
01:29:28,720 --> 01:29:33,360
Speaker 3: Donald Trump is, and he's borderline gangster right right. Not

1799
01:29:33,560 --> 01:29:37,640
Speaker 3: everybody's got that lion heart in him, Not everybody's got

1800
01:29:37,680 --> 01:29:40,880
Speaker 3: that dog in him, so to speak. And the Republicans

1801
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:43,519
Speaker 3: are so weak when it comes to this kind of stuff.

1802
01:29:43,880 --> 01:29:46,839
Speaker 3: I want arrests. It's the Hammer of Nigel Show.

1803
01:29:47,600 --> 01:29:50,519
Speaker 1: Hammer and Nigel. You believe these characters are weirdos.

1804
01:29:53,360 --> 01:29:59,000
Speaker 3: The clock is ticking on twenty twenty five, counting down

1805
01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:02,599
Speaker 3: the hours and then the minutes and then the seconds

1806
01:30:03,760 --> 01:30:07,200
Speaker 3: for a brand new year. Happy New Year's Eve, you

1807
01:30:07,320 --> 01:30:12,720
Speaker 3: filthy animals. I'm Jason Hammer. Nigel is somewhere, probably blacked out,

1808
01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:16,920
Speaker 3: which means Chris Hammer, the boy Wonder, the future Governor,

1809
01:30:17,160 --> 01:30:20,439
Speaker 3: is here. And if you're watching us on the YouTube stream,

1810
01:30:21,400 --> 01:30:26,519
Speaker 3: you're welcome because Matt Behar has just sashade and sauntered

1811
01:30:26,680 --> 01:30:31,120
Speaker 3: into the studio, blessing our audience on the YouTube camera,

1812
01:30:31,760 --> 01:30:34,160
Speaker 3: wearing his usual medium T shirt.

1813
01:30:34,439 --> 01:30:34,840
Speaker 2: How are you.

1814
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:39,320
Speaker 5: I'm fantastic. I really mailed it in today with the

1815
01:30:39,360 --> 01:30:41,160
Speaker 5: T shirt. I just kind of rolled out of bed

1816
01:30:41,200 --> 01:30:43,360
Speaker 5: for evening. Rus said Happy New Year and to run whatever.

1817
01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:45,120
Speaker 5: But happy New Year, guys.

1818
01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:47,240
Speaker 2: Year, Mary, New Year.

1819
01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:48,439
Speaker 5: You know the thing.

1820
01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:52,800
Speaker 3: So again, anything we need to know about the roads

1821
01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:56,479
Speaker 3: tonight we kind of mentioned earlier. I view New Year's

1822
01:30:56,520 --> 01:31:00,720
Speaker 3: Eve and Saint Patrick's Day as amateur hour where the

1823
01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:03,360
Speaker 3: people that might not normally drink a lot, the people

1824
01:31:03,400 --> 01:31:06,679
Speaker 3: that can't control their booze are out on the roads,

1825
01:31:07,120 --> 01:31:08,080
Speaker 3: and that's not good.

1826
01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:10,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a tough night for rookie mistakes. It

1827
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:13,799
Speaker 5: really is. And one of the things you have to remember,

1828
01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:16,160
Speaker 5: especially if you're partying downtown, maybe you have a big

1829
01:31:16,240 --> 01:31:18,400
Speaker 5: ticket going to do the New Year's Eve thing, high

1830
01:31:18,439 --> 01:31:21,360
Speaker 5: price and everything else, is this area is under construction,

1831
01:31:21,600 --> 01:31:22,920
Speaker 5: and it's under construction.

1832
01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:25,960
Speaker 2: In this area meeting the city of Indianapolis.

1833
01:31:26,240 --> 01:31:29,599
Speaker 5: Exactly, whole county, the whole county, all of Marion County

1834
01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:32,360
Speaker 5: is under construction right now, especially on the south side.

1835
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:36,280
Speaker 5: So if you're coming in or out of Indianapolis and

1836
01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:38,519
Speaker 5: say it's just you and the wife, you and a husband, whatever,

1837
01:31:38,600 --> 01:31:41,360
Speaker 5: whoever's driving, and it's got to stay sober. You gotta

1838
01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:44,680
Speaker 5: stay sober tonight. Or use a ride share. Ye, use

1839
01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:47,000
Speaker 5: the ride share as a big one. It's a busy

1840
01:31:47,120 --> 01:31:48,160
Speaker 5: night for ride shares.

1841
01:31:48,400 --> 01:31:50,320
Speaker 3: It might cost you a little more, there might be

1842
01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:53,519
Speaker 3: a delay, but it's better than getting pulled over and

1843
01:31:53,600 --> 01:31:54,120
Speaker 3: going to jail.

1844
01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:56,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've had that before, and that's a very expensive process.

1845
01:31:56,920 --> 01:31:59,960
Speaker 5: And even worse than that is I still get a

1846
01:32:00,040 --> 01:32:02,360
Speaker 5: deal with those things a little bit. But one of

1847
01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:05,479
Speaker 5: the big things is using that ride share and paying

1848
01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:08,920
Speaker 5: the extra dollar for that, And it's not so much

1849
01:32:09,160 --> 01:32:11,360
Speaker 5: you have to worry about yourself. You have to do

1850
01:32:11,439 --> 01:32:13,000
Speaker 5: that a little bit. It's going to be everybody else,

1851
01:32:13,080 --> 01:32:15,120
Speaker 5: like you said here, or it's going to be you know,

1852
01:32:15,200 --> 01:32:17,599
Speaker 5: the people who don't drink a lot and making those

1853
01:32:17,680 --> 01:32:21,559
Speaker 5: bad decisions, and especially if you're ordering the ride share.

1854
01:32:21,600 --> 01:32:23,760
Speaker 5: Another thing I want to think about, and I don't

1855
01:32:23,800 --> 01:32:25,320
Speaker 5: want to be the downer guys, but you think back

1856
01:32:25,360 --> 01:32:27,840
Speaker 5: in twenty nineteen, there was this awful murder of this woman,

1857
01:32:27,920 --> 01:32:29,760
Speaker 5: this twenty one year old law student who got in

1858
01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:33,840
Speaker 5: the wrong uber and there was the child locks and everything.

1859
01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:35,479
Speaker 5: And I won't get into detail because it's just a

1860
01:32:35,520 --> 01:32:37,680
Speaker 5: horrific murder. But she got in the wrong uber. So

1861
01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:40,719
Speaker 5: make sure you're standing with the people you love until

1862
01:32:40,760 --> 01:32:43,519
Speaker 5: that car comes and make sure they're getting into the

1863
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:45,840
Speaker 5: right car. That's one of the big things with ride

1864
01:32:45,880 --> 01:32:49,160
Speaker 5: sharing and ordering it. Make sure that vehicle is intended

1865
01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:51,800
Speaker 5: for you, and make sure it's the actual ride share

1866
01:32:51,880 --> 01:32:54,880
Speaker 5: and not just some person just pulling up and wanting

1867
01:32:54,960 --> 01:32:56,679
Speaker 5: to take you home because you look good or whatever.

1868
01:32:56,880 --> 01:32:59,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm glad you bring this up because there

1869
01:32:59,120 --> 01:33:03,640
Speaker 3: are a lot of I think predominantly young ladies in

1870
01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:07,600
Speaker 3: this city that might not feel comfortable carrying a firearm

1871
01:33:07,720 --> 01:33:11,040
Speaker 3: or carrying a knife or some sort of weapon, even mace.

1872
01:33:11,600 --> 01:33:14,719
Speaker 3: So it's so important if you're not going to carry anything,

1873
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:17,760
Speaker 3: which I would highly advise you do so, but if

1874
01:33:17,800 --> 01:33:20,559
Speaker 3: you don't feel comfortable doing that, you've got to make

1875
01:33:20,640 --> 01:33:23,720
Speaker 3: sure everything is right before you get into that stranger's car.

1876
01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:27,040
Speaker 5: Maybe some bear masa pepper spray or something like that. Scarisly, Yeah,

1877
01:33:27,080 --> 01:33:29,040
Speaker 5: something you could just tuck away and whatever you're carrying.

1878
01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:32,439
Speaker 5: This is the night, and you know it's guys, this

1879
01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:34,720
Speaker 5: is harder for us to do, but this is the night.

1880
01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:37,000
Speaker 5: Whether you're buddying in, or you're going with a couple.

1881
01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:38,600
Speaker 5: You look at the other people and you say, no,

1882
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:42,880
Speaker 5: matter what, you're getting home safely tonight. This is the

1883
01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:45,360
Speaker 5: knight you do that. This is the night where you

1884
01:33:45,479 --> 01:33:47,400
Speaker 5: can be the leader and you can say, hey, listen,

1885
01:33:47,439 --> 01:33:48,960
Speaker 5: I'm going to drink my ass off, but I'm going

1886
01:33:49,040 --> 01:33:50,920
Speaker 5: to be responsible enough to make sure you get a

1887
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:53,479
Speaker 5: nowhere you're in a lift and you're in right eye

1888
01:33:53,520 --> 01:33:54,960
Speaker 5: in or whatever. It is a new one that they

1889
01:33:55,040 --> 01:33:58,479
Speaker 5: have here. It's in Drive, a new app that you

1890
01:33:58,560 --> 01:34:01,080
Speaker 5: can use in drive. Just go to whatever app store

1891
01:34:01,080 --> 01:34:05,000
Speaker 5: you're using. And it's one where you actually propose the

1892
01:34:05,160 --> 01:34:08,760
Speaker 5: fair to the ride share driver. And that's kind of

1893
01:34:08,800 --> 01:34:10,720
Speaker 5: a new concept because usually it's the fair, you take

1894
01:34:10,720 --> 01:34:12,720
Speaker 5: the fair, but this one you can propose. Now. I

1895
01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:14,680
Speaker 5: don't know about you, guys, but if it's midnight at

1896
01:34:14,720 --> 01:34:16,680
Speaker 5: New Year's Eve back in the old life, I'm not

1897
01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:21,040
Speaker 5: out for negotiating. You know, marketing's gonna be a very

1898
01:34:21,120 --> 01:34:23,559
Speaker 5: hard thing for me to do. But it's another option

1899
01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:27,080
Speaker 5: other than driving. Just don't drive, don't drink and drive.

1900
01:34:27,080 --> 01:34:30,160
Speaker 5: It done that. It sucks and it's totally irresponse.

1901
01:34:30,200 --> 01:34:32,080
Speaker 4: I could just imagine that one drunk guy come out

1902
01:34:32,160 --> 01:34:34,200
Speaker 4: the bar with that new app. Just thinks he's like

1903
01:34:34,280 --> 01:34:36,760
Speaker 4: Mark Cuban on Shark Tak trying to negotiate his fair

1904
01:34:36,840 --> 01:34:38,320
Speaker 4: on the way home. I'm gon be sitting in the

1905
01:34:38,360 --> 01:34:40,200
Speaker 4: parking lot for an hour while he's doing his best

1906
01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:42,040
Speaker 4: Donald Trump, let's make a deal impression.

1907
01:34:42,080 --> 01:34:44,479
Speaker 5: He's going to Morrisville and he wants five bucks five fifteen.

1908
01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:45,040
Speaker 5: Just a mate.

1909
01:34:45,040 --> 01:34:47,920
Speaker 3: It's not like it's seventy outside, right, You're gonna be

1910
01:34:47,920 --> 01:34:50,640
Speaker 3: in a freezing cold standing outside.

1911
01:34:51,680 --> 01:34:53,640
Speaker 2: Matt Bear, the traffic Beast joining us.

1912
01:34:53,760 --> 01:34:58,559
Speaker 3: He's also got an amazing podcast supporting sobriety holidays where

1913
01:34:59,400 --> 01:35:02,160
Speaker 3: drinking is a big part of it. Again, I keep

1914
01:35:02,240 --> 01:35:04,200
Speaker 3: bringing up Saint Patrick's day in New Year's Eve.

1915
01:35:04,560 --> 01:35:05,200
Speaker 2: Is this tough for you?

1916
01:35:05,439 --> 01:35:07,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's a little bit tough. And this is

1917
01:35:07,840 --> 01:35:09,960
Speaker 5: where the disease of addiction. I'm a recovery now guy.

1918
01:35:10,080 --> 01:35:13,479
Speaker 5: Like my podcast partner, right, Hedrick, a recovering edict. I'm

1919
01:35:13,479 --> 01:35:16,240
Speaker 5: also an edict dad. This is where it gets a

1920
01:35:16,240 --> 01:35:18,719
Speaker 5: little tricky with the disease of addiction and the BS.

1921
01:35:18,800 --> 01:35:22,439
Speaker 5: It tells you when I go to bed tonight at

1922
01:35:22,479 --> 01:35:24,479
Speaker 5: nine o'clock, that's what I do New Year's Eve. You know,

1923
01:35:24,560 --> 01:35:26,519
Speaker 5: I do some work tomorrow. I want to be up.

1924
01:35:26,560 --> 01:35:29,200
Speaker 3: And one you also have an unbelievable work schedule though

1925
01:35:29,240 --> 01:35:32,080
Speaker 3: you're working split shifts like a morning show, and then

1926
01:35:32,120 --> 01:35:33,640
Speaker 3: you come back and do afternoons.

1927
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:37,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'm still very blessed to have that. Giving

1928
01:35:38,120 --> 01:35:40,679
Speaker 5: some of my history here in the drunkenness on the air,

1929
01:35:41,280 --> 01:35:44,000
Speaker 5: and hey, if they fired people for drunkeness on the air,

1930
01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:48,240
Speaker 5: well that's a little more distinct I think of mine.

1931
01:35:49,479 --> 01:35:51,639
Speaker 5: But I look at New Year's Eve, I'm thinking, man,

1932
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:53,479
Speaker 5: you know, and I'm looking at these bars that are packed.

1933
01:35:53,520 --> 01:35:55,479
Speaker 5: And I love me some downtown. This has been the

1934
01:35:55,520 --> 01:35:57,639
Speaker 5: closest thing home to me. I love being down here.

1935
01:35:57,640 --> 01:35:59,559
Speaker 5: And I will go buy this Arcade bar on New

1936
01:35:59,640 --> 01:36:02,040
Speaker 5: York on the way home tonight, and I love myself

1937
01:36:02,080 --> 01:36:04,840
Speaker 5: the classic arcade. And you know there are bars on

1938
01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:07,400
Speaker 5: the first floor and the second floor. And I'm like, yeah,

1939
01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:09,080
Speaker 5: you could have been a part of that if you

1940
01:36:09,120 --> 01:36:13,200
Speaker 5: hadn't quit drinking in that I was never the guy

1941
01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:15,880
Speaker 5: people wanted to hang out with at the bar. Again,

1942
01:36:15,960 --> 01:36:18,400
Speaker 5: the disease of addiction, my alcoholism says, go to the

1943
01:36:18,439 --> 01:36:21,479
Speaker 5: bar tonight, man, Go be a player. Dress up well,

1944
01:36:21,520 --> 01:36:24,320
Speaker 5: your small T shirts. Maybe they'll get you somewhere. Maybe

1945
01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:26,200
Speaker 5: that'll be a nice breaking on the.

1946
01:36:26,280 --> 01:36:28,519
Speaker 2: Chicks in the YouTube chat. That's all I'm gonna say.

1947
01:36:29,720 --> 01:36:32,040
Speaker 2: Thank you when you say disease.

1948
01:36:32,240 --> 01:36:34,040
Speaker 3: And again, I don't know if this is appropriate or not,

1949
01:36:34,520 --> 01:36:37,200
Speaker 3: but Norm MacDonald had a great joke. I thought it

1950
01:36:37,320 --> 01:36:39,600
Speaker 3: was funny. But you tell me if it's inappropriate or not.

1951
01:36:40,320 --> 01:36:43,519
Speaker 3: If you're gonna have a disease, alcoholism is the one

1952
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:47,000
Speaker 3: you want. Cancer makes your body hurt, It kills you,

1953
01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:50,880
Speaker 3: It makes you feel miserable. Aids will just suck away

1954
01:36:51,040 --> 01:36:53,559
Speaker 3: all of your you know, ability to breathe and function.

1955
01:36:54,560 --> 01:36:55,800
Speaker 3: Alcohol makes you feel good.

1956
01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:56,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1957
01:36:56,200 --> 01:37:00,719
Speaker 3: Alcohols paraphrasing there, but that was the old or McDonald

1958
01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:01,080
Speaker 3: been that.

1959
01:37:01,320 --> 01:37:02,920
Speaker 2: If you're going to have a disease, this is the

1960
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:03,559
Speaker 2: one you want.

1961
01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:06,240
Speaker 5: Hey, everything I've been addicted to is made me feel good,

1962
01:37:06,320 --> 01:37:09,559
Speaker 5: you know, to a point, and then that until it does,

1963
01:37:09,920 --> 01:37:12,920
Speaker 5: until it doesn't, until you have to have it. You

1964
01:37:13,040 --> 01:37:15,760
Speaker 5: have to have the alcohol to survive, otherwise you'll go

1965
01:37:15,840 --> 01:37:17,920
Speaker 5: into the DT's your hands. Say that again, because I

1966
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:19,760
Speaker 5: think that's very powerful. Yeah, you have to have the

1967
01:37:19,840 --> 01:37:22,840
Speaker 5: alcohol so you survive. That's that's the crazy thing about this,

1968
01:37:23,080 --> 01:37:25,320
Speaker 5: because as bad as I was, as far down as

1969
01:37:25,400 --> 01:37:29,400
Speaker 5: I was into the ABYSS, I couldn't stop drinking. You

1970
01:37:29,479 --> 01:37:32,000
Speaker 5: want to stop drinking, but your hands are shaking so badly.

1971
01:37:32,080 --> 01:37:34,200
Speaker 5: I remember one night doing election coverage here at w

1972
01:37:34,320 --> 01:37:37,640
Speaker 5: I shouldn't be telling these stories at WYBS yet. It

1973
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:39,479
Speaker 5: was before John was the news director, and I was

1974
01:37:39,520 --> 01:37:41,439
Speaker 5: trying to run the board and my hands were shaking

1975
01:37:41,680 --> 01:37:45,439
Speaker 5: so badly, and I had to. I started just running

1976
01:37:45,479 --> 01:37:48,200
Speaker 5: around the fourth floor, you know, just trying to find anything,

1977
01:37:48,240 --> 01:37:49,720
Speaker 5: and I found something in my bag and I was

1978
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:51,960
Speaker 5: able to stave off those handshakes for a little bit.

1979
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:53,640
Speaker 5: Now was in rehab a couple of weeks later. That

1980
01:37:53,720 --> 01:37:55,280
Speaker 5: was a crazy thing about it. I knew I was

1981
01:37:55,360 --> 01:37:58,799
Speaker 5: going to rehab, But you can't stop drinking because alcoholic

1982
01:37:58,880 --> 01:38:01,800
Speaker 5: cardiac arrested. I have talked about this a little bit

1983
01:38:01,880 --> 01:38:06,120
Speaker 5: on the air. Alcoholic cardiac arrest comes to a lot

1984
01:38:06,240 --> 01:38:08,720
Speaker 5: of people who stopped drinking suddenly, So which is why

1985
01:38:08,880 --> 01:38:12,280
Speaker 5: I always recommend professional detoxification processes when you mess with

1986
01:38:12,360 --> 01:38:15,360
Speaker 5: this stuff. This stuff is a killer. It doesn't care

1987
01:38:15,360 --> 01:38:17,800
Speaker 5: about you, me or anybody else. If you're far down

1988
01:38:17,960 --> 01:38:20,320
Speaker 5: as I was, do what professionally, do it the right way,

1989
01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:22,280
Speaker 5: then get with people that love you, and that's going

1990
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:23,360
Speaker 5: to be people in recovery.

1991
01:38:23,600 --> 01:38:26,280
Speaker 3: Matt Bear traffic beast with us, all right, I want

1992
01:38:26,280 --> 01:38:29,479
Speaker 3: to switch gears. Now we're all Colt fans in the studio.

1993
01:38:30,240 --> 01:38:36,200
Speaker 3: Matt is a huge, very passionate, outspoken Colts fan. Did

1994
01:38:36,280 --> 01:38:39,680
Speaker 3: you like the move to bring in Philip Rivers? Now,

1995
01:38:39,840 --> 01:38:43,680
Speaker 3: he didn't win any games, but he wasn't awful. I'm

1996
01:38:43,720 --> 01:38:47,519
Speaker 3: going to play you a SoundBite of CBS commentator Danny Kanell.

1997
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:51,560
Speaker 3: He was asked on his program if it was a

1998
01:38:51,640 --> 01:38:53,960
Speaker 3: good thing that the Colts brought in Philip Rivers.

1999
01:38:54,320 --> 01:38:57,760
Speaker 11: The quarterback position now is easier to play than it's

2000
01:38:57,800 --> 01:39:00,320
Speaker 11: ever been before. You're not allowed to get touch, no

2001
01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:01,040
Speaker 11: one can hit you.

2002
01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:02,479
Speaker 6: Every rule favors you.

2003
01:39:02,920 --> 01:39:05,080
Speaker 11: And the thing that impressed me was Philip Rivers's ability

2004
01:39:05,160 --> 01:39:07,599
Speaker 11: to make plays because of his mind. I mean watching

2005
01:39:07,680 --> 01:39:10,400
Speaker 11: him operate the line of scrimmage, getting into even run

2006
01:39:10,479 --> 01:39:14,240
Speaker 11: plays that sometimes people take for granted. Getting protections directed

2007
01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:16,680
Speaker 11: the right way allowed him to have some success in

2008
01:39:16,800 --> 01:39:19,080
Speaker 11: all three games. He gave him a position and put

2009
01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:21,160
Speaker 11: him in a position to win those games. I think

2010
01:39:21,200 --> 01:39:23,680
Speaker 11: it's unequivocally been a success. I know he wouldn't say

2011
01:39:23,720 --> 01:39:25,920
Speaker 11: that because they've lost those three games, but I think

2012
01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:27,519
Speaker 11: it's been a great story, and I think it's been

2013
01:39:27,560 --> 01:39:30,680
Speaker 11: a real inspiration and a lesson to be learned from

2014
01:39:30,800 --> 01:39:35,160
Speaker 11: younger quarterbacks that watch a quarterback operate and win potentially

2015
01:39:35,280 --> 01:39:37,599
Speaker 11: with their minds if they can make those closing plays.

2016
01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:40,559
Speaker 3: That's a guy that's been a quarterback in the league,

2017
01:39:41,360 --> 01:39:43,800
Speaker 3: very successful college player at Florida State.

2018
01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:46,519
Speaker 5: Your thoughts, I'm good with all of that. I hated

2019
01:39:46,560 --> 01:39:49,960
Speaker 5: the sign again Philip Rivers, so for a couple of reasons. One,

2020
01:39:50,200 --> 01:39:52,360
Speaker 5: I'm one of the guys who as soon as I

2021
01:39:52,479 --> 01:39:55,559
Speaker 5: heard the name Philip Rivers when Daniel Jones went down,

2022
01:39:55,720 --> 01:39:57,720
Speaker 5: I knew I really felt like the Colts were going

2023
01:39:57,760 --> 01:40:00,320
Speaker 5: to sign him, because it's a very cold sting when

2024
01:40:00,320 --> 01:40:03,280
Speaker 5: the quarterback purgatory we've had here since Andrew Luck retired

2025
01:40:03,840 --> 01:40:06,840
Speaker 5: and I don't know anything. I thought that story was fun,

2026
01:40:07,080 --> 01:40:10,040
Speaker 5: but I was, okay, you have to develop something. You

2027
01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:14,160
Speaker 5: know Riley Leonard is I guess he was a quarterback

2028
01:40:14,360 --> 01:40:17,280
Speaker 5: from Notre Dame that was drafted late to If you

2029
01:40:17,400 --> 01:40:19,800
Speaker 5: go with somebody like Philip Rivers. You know he's not

2030
01:40:19,880 --> 01:40:22,080
Speaker 5: going to be playing next season, so what are we doing?

2031
01:40:22,880 --> 01:40:25,400
Speaker 5: What's what's the point of this? You don't develop your

2032
01:40:25,400 --> 01:40:28,120
Speaker 5: franchise and if you're really all and you can't be

2033
01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:31,720
Speaker 5: all in when your franchise quarterback goes down, it is.

2034
01:40:31,880 --> 01:40:36,080
Speaker 2: Over when one or two with Philip Rivers, maybe more

2035
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,160
Speaker 2: so than Riley Leonard, I think I.

2036
01:40:38,120 --> 01:40:40,400
Speaker 4: Believe Riley Leonard also got hurt in that same game

2037
01:40:40,439 --> 01:40:43,000
Speaker 4: that Daniel Jones got hurt as well too, So yeah,

2038
01:40:43,160 --> 01:40:44,719
Speaker 4: there was a period in time where the Colts didn't

2039
01:40:44,720 --> 01:40:47,639
Speaker 4: have an active quarterback on the rosters. Right, it feels

2040
01:40:47,640 --> 01:40:49,679
Speaker 4: like the Philip Rivers sning was something out of desperation

2041
01:40:49,840 --> 01:40:51,240
Speaker 4: rather than a legit move to.

2042
01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:54,600
Speaker 3: Do the Jacksonville game you had, Rivers, I'm sorry, you

2043
01:40:54,720 --> 01:40:59,240
Speaker 3: had your starting quarterback go down with then Achilles Daniel Jones,

2044
01:40:59,640 --> 01:41:01,800
Speaker 3: and then Riley comes in. He's not bad, but he

2045
01:41:01,840 --> 01:41:04,559
Speaker 3: gets a concussion, he gets another injury. And oh, by

2046
01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:07,400
Speaker 3: the way, the guy you invested an early draft pick

2047
01:41:07,520 --> 01:41:10,439
Speaker 3: on basically can't see because he smacked himself with a

2048
01:41:10,479 --> 01:41:11,160
Speaker 3: workout band.

2049
01:41:11,439 --> 01:41:14,200
Speaker 2: So that was your quarterback room at the time.

2050
01:41:14,360 --> 01:41:19,160
Speaker 5: Of stretching exercise too just an amazing season for the Colts.

2051
01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:22,800
Speaker 5: I having said all of this, I'm at the point

2052
01:41:22,840 --> 01:41:26,160
Speaker 5: where I say, bring back Daniel Jones, do the money.

2053
01:41:26,200 --> 01:41:28,559
Speaker 5: I don't want to tag him, do the franchise tag,

2054
01:41:28,600 --> 01:41:30,519
Speaker 5: but I'd like to bring him back and go with

2055
01:41:30,640 --> 01:41:33,400
Speaker 5: this nuclease again next year. Not necessarily with the GM

2056
01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:35,559
Speaker 5: and the head coach. But I think there are some really,

2057
01:41:35,920 --> 01:41:38,120
Speaker 5: really freaking good football players on this team.

2058
01:41:38,280 --> 01:41:40,679
Speaker 4: And go to find a pass rush of some cock,

2059
01:41:41,680 --> 01:41:44,200
Speaker 4: some con You've got to fire. Somebody can't start eight

2060
01:41:44,280 --> 01:41:45,160
Speaker 4: and two and not make the PA.

2061
01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:46,639
Speaker 5: No, it's criminous.

2062
01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:48,720
Speaker 4: Somebody's gonna lose their job because of.

2063
01:41:48,720 --> 01:41:52,160
Speaker 6: That presents.

2064
01:41:55,960 --> 01:41:58,519

2075
01:42:37,840 --> 01:42:42,120
Speaker 3: Let's do it Dayline, New York, an Italian restaurant is

2076
01:42:42,240 --> 01:42:50,160
Speaker 3: selling a seven pound spaghetti in meatball dish, not spaghetti

2077
01:42:50,280 --> 01:42:54,960
Speaker 3: and spaghetti in this is where the pasta is baked

2078
01:42:55,240 --> 01:43:01,040
Speaker 3: inside of a big, badass meatball. One e ball loaded

2079
01:43:01,120 --> 01:43:04,280
Speaker 3: with spaghetti is supposed to feed twelve people, and it

2080
01:43:04,360 --> 01:43:06,000
Speaker 3: costs one hundred and fifty bucks.

2081
01:43:06,400 --> 01:43:07,080
Speaker 2: Is does anything?

2082
01:43:07,200 --> 01:43:07,400
Speaker 1: Yeah?

2083
01:43:07,439 --> 01:43:11,200
Speaker 4: This is something I mean, I mean price aside, this

2084
01:43:11,439 --> 01:43:12,559
Speaker 4: sounds amazing.

2085
01:43:13,280 --> 01:43:15,960
Speaker 3: Dude, feeding twelve people for one hundred and fifty bucks

2086
01:43:16,040 --> 01:43:17,920
Speaker 3: seven pounds pretty good value, right.

2087
01:43:17,920 --> 01:43:20,560
Speaker 4: Especially in New York City of all places. But a

2088
01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:23,680
Speaker 4: seven pound meatball. I just I need to see what

2089
01:43:23,800 --> 01:43:26,280
Speaker 4: a seven pound meatball looks like in front of me,

2090
01:43:26,320 --> 01:43:29,160
Speaker 4: and knowing that it's got spaghetti baked inside of it, right,

2091
01:43:29,320 --> 01:43:30,360
Speaker 4: that sounds amazing.

2092
01:43:30,720 --> 01:43:34,519
Speaker 2: Now I've got issues with each one feeds twelve people.

2093
01:43:35,040 --> 01:43:38,599
Speaker 3: That's like when you get a frozen pizza and it says, oh,

2094
01:43:38,760 --> 01:43:42,800
Speaker 3: this might feed two to three people who eats the

2095
01:43:42,880 --> 01:43:46,200
Speaker 3: whole thing by themselves? Anybody, all right, everybody's hand is

2096
01:43:46,360 --> 01:43:47,200
Speaker 3: up in the dudies.

2097
01:43:47,320 --> 01:43:50,280
Speaker 4: Frozen pizzas are extremely small, but they act like because

2098
01:43:50,280 --> 01:43:53,479
Speaker 4: they have twelve really small slices. They say oh, that

2099
01:43:53,560 --> 01:43:54,479
Speaker 4: could feed three people.

2100
01:43:54,880 --> 01:43:58,600
Speaker 3: Right when you buy like a miniature bag of Cheetos

2101
01:43:58,680 --> 01:44:01,799
Speaker 3: from the gas station, or like a candy bar serving

2102
01:44:01,920 --> 01:44:04,479
Speaker 3: size two, it's not two, it's not it's.

2103
01:44:04,360 --> 01:44:06,439
Speaker 2: Going into my fat ass directly.

2104
01:44:06,880 --> 01:44:07,519
Speaker 4: It's number one.

2105
01:44:07,880 --> 01:44:09,519
Speaker 2: Serving size is one.

2106
01:44:10,280 --> 01:44:13,240
Speaker 3: So if you're telling me a seven pound meatball that's

2107
01:44:13,280 --> 01:44:16,400
Speaker 3: supposed to feed twelve people as loaded with spaghetti on

2108
01:44:16,439 --> 01:44:18,840
Speaker 3: the inside, I'm cutting that number in half.

2109
01:44:18,920 --> 01:44:20,719
Speaker 2: I'm saying it's probably five.

2110
01:44:20,640 --> 01:44:22,320
Speaker 4: To six, which is still amazing.

2111
01:44:23,240 --> 01:44:24,040
Speaker 2: Is this anything?

2112
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:29,040
Speaker 3: The has Burrow Toy Company just announced that it has

2113
01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:35,240
Speaker 3: successfully trademarked the smell of play Doo. They describe the

2114
01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:41,880
Speaker 3: scent of Plato as quote sweet, slightly musky, vanilla like

2115
01:44:42,080 --> 01:44:45,680
Speaker 3: with a fragrance with slight overtones of cherry and the

2116
01:44:45,840 --> 01:44:51,080
Speaker 3: natural smell of salted wheat based dough. The smell of

2117
01:44:51,240 --> 01:44:53,840
Speaker 3: play Do has been trademarked.

2118
01:44:54,280 --> 01:44:54,920
Speaker 2: Is this anything?

2119
01:44:55,280 --> 01:44:57,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say no, because what are they gonna do

2120
01:44:57,160 --> 01:44:59,839
Speaker 4: with this? I'm assuming they already have Plato itself trademark

2121
01:45:00,120 --> 01:45:03,720
Speaker 4: they invented that. What exactly are they going to do

2122
01:45:03,840 --> 01:45:06,360
Speaker 4: with the trademark smell of it? Because if you already

2123
01:45:06,439 --> 01:45:10,360
Speaker 4: have Plato trademarked, and you're making Plato, you already have

2124
01:45:10,520 --> 01:45:12,800
Speaker 4: the smell. Are they wanted to make like candles that

2125
01:45:12,960 --> 01:45:16,000
Speaker 4: smell like Plato or that could be. I'm just confused

2126
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:18,800
Speaker 4: on what they're actually gonna do with this trademark of

2127
01:45:18,840 --> 01:45:19,679
Speaker 4: the smell of Plato.

2128
01:45:20,040 --> 01:45:22,919
Speaker 2: The scented candle industry is a big industry.

2129
01:45:23,080 --> 01:45:23,280
Speaker 4: True.

2130
01:45:23,479 --> 01:45:26,679
Speaker 3: I got suckered into buying a candle because it's said

2131
01:45:26,760 --> 01:45:30,160
Speaker 3: it smelled like the lobby of the Flamingo Hotel in

2132
01:45:30,240 --> 01:45:33,840
Speaker 3: Las Vegas, which is a mixture of a couple different

2133
01:45:33,960 --> 01:45:38,200
Speaker 3: perfumes and cashmere and vanilla.

2134
01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:40,400
Speaker 2: And a couple different things. If you've been to Vegas,

2135
01:45:40,640 --> 01:45:45,080
Speaker 2: you know the Flamingo scott its distinctive smell. So I

2136
01:45:45,160 --> 01:45:49,439
Speaker 2: bought a candle that smelled like it. Eh eh was

2137
01:45:49,520 --> 01:45:51,839
Speaker 2: my review of it. Is this anything?

2138
01:45:52,240 --> 01:45:56,759
Speaker 3: A couple in Texas thought that armageddon was about to happen,

2139
01:45:57,360 --> 01:45:59,880
Speaker 3: so they gave away all of their stuff. They started

2140
01:46:00,080 --> 01:46:03,080
Speaker 3: handing out one hundred dollar bills to random people at

2141
01:46:03,120 --> 01:46:06,320
Speaker 3: a park, and they may have set their own house

2142
01:46:06,400 --> 01:46:06,920
Speaker 3: on fire.

2143
01:46:07,360 --> 01:46:10,720
Speaker 2: They were seen arrested and walking away from it as the.

2144
01:46:10,840 --> 01:46:14,719
Speaker 3: Blaze was happening, kind of like the Joker and Batman

2145
01:46:14,880 --> 01:46:16,960
Speaker 3: walking away from the hospital exploding.

2146
01:46:17,760 --> 01:46:21,759
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, they were naked. Is this anything?

2147
01:46:22,360 --> 01:46:26,280
Speaker 4: This is something. I want to know what they saw

2148
01:46:26,760 --> 01:46:29,240
Speaker 4: that made them think armageddon like was on the way.

2149
01:46:29,320 --> 01:46:31,479
Speaker 4: Like this reminds me of like it's New Year's so

2150
01:46:31,800 --> 01:46:34,000
Speaker 4: twenty five years ago, when the Y two K stuff

2151
01:46:34,080 --> 01:46:35,760
Speaker 4: was happening and everybody thought that the world was going

2152
01:46:35,840 --> 01:46:38,400
Speaker 4: to end. I remember seeing like people were buying actual

2153
01:46:38,439 --> 01:46:42,559
Speaker 4: like nuclear bomb shelters just for nothing to happen at all.

2154
01:46:43,040 --> 01:46:46,320
Speaker 4: I mean, this is something because I imagine if I'm

2155
01:46:46,360 --> 01:46:48,080
Speaker 4: just a random citizen in this town and I get

2156
01:46:48,120 --> 01:46:49,200
Speaker 4: handed one hundred dollars bill.

2157
01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:52,720
Speaker 2: All right, great, thank you so much, have a great armageddon.

2158
01:46:53,320 --> 01:46:58,400
Speaker 3: Right, tell me that you watch MSNBC without telling me

2159
01:46:58,640 --> 01:47:02,920
Speaker 3: you watch MSNBC because they probably heard somebody say Trump

2160
01:47:03,080 --> 01:47:05,680
Speaker 3: is going to be the dictator that ends our democracy

2161
01:47:06,040 --> 01:47:09,120
Speaker 3: and these morons who probably are a little screwy. I'm

2162
01:47:09,120 --> 01:47:11,040
Speaker 3: going to bet the elevator doesn't go all the way

2163
01:47:11,040 --> 01:47:12,880
Speaker 3: to the top here. You mean the nude people that

2164
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:13,920
Speaker 3: lit their house on fire?

2165
01:47:14,040 --> 01:47:14,599
Speaker 4: Are all there?

2166
01:47:14,880 --> 01:47:15,479
Speaker 2: Those people?

2167
01:47:15,760 --> 01:47:18,560
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm going to bet they took it literally and

2168
01:47:18,720 --> 01:47:21,240
Speaker 3: next thing you know, they're naked, They're in a park.

2169
01:47:21,320 --> 01:47:24,160
Speaker 3: They're passing out hundos and their house is burning down.

2170
01:47:24,360 --> 01:47:25,639
Speaker 3: I've seen it a million times.

2171
01:47:25,720 --> 01:47:27,599
Speaker 10: Can I just say I know what a crackhead sounds

2172
01:47:27,680 --> 01:47:31,040
Speaker 10: like when I hear it. If there had to be

2173
01:47:31,160 --> 01:47:32,240
Speaker 10: drugs involved, right.

2174
01:47:32,560 --> 01:47:37,400
Speaker 2: It doesn't say, but one would assume, right, one would assume.

2175
01:47:37,840 --> 01:47:39,080
Speaker 2: It's the Hammer and Nigel Show.

2176
01:47:39,400 --> 01:47:41,479
Speaker 6: You're listening to The Hammer and Nigel Show.

2177

Speaker 2: How's it been the last couple of days? You had fun?

2183
01:48:04,640 --> 01:48:06,800
Speaker 4: I've had a lot of fun here. I think I

2184
01:48:06,880 --> 01:48:09,040
Speaker 4: saw a comment on Facebook It said that for the

2185
01:48:09,080 --> 01:48:10,880
Speaker 4: month of December, it's almost like I've worked more than

2186
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:11,920
Speaker 4: Nigel this month.

2187
01:48:12,040 --> 01:48:13,400
Speaker 2: Oh, there's no almost to it.

2188
01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:15,360
Speaker 7: You have, you have?

2189
01:48:15,920 --> 01:48:19,680
Speaker 3: And by the way, that's two days, ironically, so congratulations.

2190
01:48:20,760 --> 01:48:24,280
Speaker 3: Got a response on Twitter from a listener that said, Hey,

2191
01:48:24,680 --> 01:48:26,880
Speaker 3: listening to you guys. I'm at work. I'm up here

2192
01:48:26,920 --> 01:48:30,880
Speaker 3: in Cocomo. But it's starting to snow. So they're getting

2193
01:48:30,920 --> 01:48:35,360
Speaker 3: some snow in Cocomo. Those beach boys are full of crap,

2194
01:48:36,680 --> 01:48:40,880
Speaker 3: but they're getting the snow up there. So hey, northsiders,

2195
01:48:41,520 --> 01:48:44,360
Speaker 3: folks north of Marion County, you're going to get it,

2196
01:48:44,360 --> 01:48:47,439
Speaker 3: probably a little worse than us here downtown. But be

2197
01:48:47,640 --> 01:48:50,479
Speaker 3: careful and please let me know if this affects the

2198
01:48:50,560 --> 01:48:51,880
Speaker 3: hip hugger in any way.

2199
01:48:52,560 --> 01:48:52,640
Speaker 1: Uh.

2200
01:48:52,840 --> 01:48:57,479
Speaker 3: From a national perspective, man, I gotta tell you, I

2201
01:48:57,680 --> 01:49:01,120
Speaker 3: think our country is going going in the right direction.

2202
01:49:02,040 --> 01:49:02,360
Speaker 5: I do.

2203
01:49:04,560 --> 01:49:06,080
Speaker 2: You look at what's happening at the border.

2204
01:49:06,880 --> 01:49:12,160
Speaker 3: Crime numbers are going down, inflation down to the mid two's.

2205
01:49:13,160 --> 01:49:17,360
Speaker 2: The GDP last time I checked was four point three percent.

2206
01:49:18,479 --> 01:49:21,479
Speaker 3: We keep hearing from all these economic experts that twenty

2207
01:49:21,600 --> 01:49:23,920
Speaker 3: twenty six is going to be an economic boom.

2208
01:49:24,800 --> 01:49:25,360
Speaker 2: We'll see.

2209
01:49:26,080 --> 01:49:29,040
Speaker 3: But I think when you look at all the things

2210
01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:36,360
Speaker 3: that actually matter Chris, inflation, crime, the border, all of

2211
01:49:36,439 --> 01:49:39,720
Speaker 3: those things are trending in the right direction here, I'll

2212
01:49:39,760 --> 01:49:40,040
Speaker 3: take it.

2213
01:49:40,360 --> 01:49:42,719
Speaker 4: That's right. Yeah, they're definitely turning in the right direction.

2214
01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:44,799
Speaker 4: If you know, if you just look at the numbers,

2215
01:49:44,880 --> 01:49:47,640
Speaker 4: you would see that. But sadly, like everybody thinks that

2216
01:49:47,720 --> 01:49:49,639
Speaker 4: the world's coming to an end. Because you watch any

2217
01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:53,200
Speaker 4: news program whatsoever, any legacy media, they'll tell you that, oh,

2218
01:49:53,200 --> 01:49:55,080
Speaker 4: our country has never been worse. This is the worst

2219
01:49:55,120 --> 01:49:57,240
Speaker 4: time in our country's history. This is worse than like

2220
01:49:57,400 --> 01:49:58,519
Speaker 4: World War two era.

2221
01:49:58,800 --> 01:50:02,240
Speaker 3: Right, everybody I used to one up themselves with the

2222
01:50:02,680 --> 01:50:06,040
Speaker 3: shock factor, right, And it's funny. I always laugh at

2223
01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:10,080
Speaker 3: trolls of this radio station that say Hammer and Nigel,

2224
01:50:10,200 --> 01:50:13,600
Speaker 3: those guys are shock jocks, which, by the way, that

2225
01:50:13,800 --> 01:50:18,080
Speaker 3: is such an eighties term, shock jokes, right, like we've

2226
01:50:18,120 --> 01:50:21,600
Speaker 3: got naked porn stars in here running around or something. No,

2227
01:50:22,080 --> 01:50:25,799
Speaker 3: first of all, we just speak the truth on this program.

2228
01:50:26,120 --> 01:50:28,519
Speaker 3: We can be a little crass at times, but that's

2229
01:50:28,560 --> 01:50:32,439
Speaker 3: how dudes talk. This is a show hosted by dudes,

2230
01:50:32,880 --> 01:50:35,439
Speaker 3: and for the most part we're talking to dudes. Now,

2231
01:50:35,520 --> 01:50:38,280
Speaker 3: we love our ladies. We love our ladies around here,

2232
01:50:38,479 --> 01:50:41,640
Speaker 3: the Crazy Coupon lady and on the YouTube chat. The

2233
01:50:41,720 --> 01:50:44,320
Speaker 3: folks that you know interact with us on social media

2234
01:50:44,520 --> 01:50:47,720
Speaker 3: are Palclaudia. We love the ladies around here, right, But

2235
01:50:47,880 --> 01:50:48,519
Speaker 3: we're dudes.

2236
01:50:48,640 --> 01:50:49,479
Speaker 2: This is how we talk.

2237
01:50:49,600 --> 01:50:51,639
Speaker 4: The way I described it is, you guys talk about

2238
01:50:51,680 --> 01:50:53,439
Speaker 4: stuff the way that people talk about stuff in the

2239
01:50:53,560 --> 01:50:54,160
Speaker 4: real world.

2240
01:50:54,479 --> 01:50:54,720
Speaker 2: Thank you.

2241
01:50:54,800 --> 01:50:58,720
Speaker 3: If you want to hear that's it shock jocks, you know,

2242
01:50:59,080 --> 01:51:02,120
Speaker 3: since you're using that phrase at the height of its popularity.

2243
01:51:02,320 --> 01:51:06,200
Speaker 3: Once you go do the ice bucket challenge next. But

2244
01:51:06,320 --> 01:51:08,360
Speaker 3: you bring up the national media. Chris, we were having

2245
01:51:08,400 --> 01:51:15,320
Speaker 3: a conversation earlier today. You can't hate the national media enough. Now,

2246
01:51:15,400 --> 01:51:18,439
Speaker 3: I know that sounds a little odd coming from somebody

2247
01:51:18,520 --> 01:51:22,759
Speaker 3: who works in local media, but I appear on national

2248
01:51:22,840 --> 01:51:23,680
Speaker 3: media quite a bit.

2249
01:51:23,960 --> 01:51:25,120
Speaker 2: I do news hits.

2250
01:51:25,160 --> 01:51:27,599
Speaker 3: I've been on Fox, I've been on News Nation, I'm

2251
01:51:27,640 --> 01:51:31,720
Speaker 3: on OutKick every single week on the streaming platform that

2252
01:51:31,840 --> 01:51:32,519
Speaker 3: Fox owns.

2253
01:51:33,800 --> 01:51:36,439
Speaker 2: But you can't hate some of these people enough.

2254
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:39,960
Speaker 3: It's been a bad year for legacy media, and right now,

2255
01:51:40,600 --> 01:51:44,080
Speaker 3: the way they're treating this independent journalist that broke the

2256
01:51:44,240 --> 01:51:46,120
Speaker 3: fraud story in Minnesota.

2257
01:51:46,720 --> 01:51:48,120
Speaker 2: They're not concerned about the fraud.

2258
01:51:48,240 --> 01:51:50,360
Speaker 4: Oh no, they could give a crap less about that.

2259
01:51:51,040 --> 01:51:54,679
Speaker 3: They're concerned, Well, this guy doesn't have a journalism degree.

2260
01:51:55,479 --> 01:51:57,240
Speaker 3: That's one of the arguments that I heard on the

2261
01:51:57,320 --> 01:51:58,160
Speaker 3: CNN panel.

2262
01:51:58,360 --> 01:52:02,880
Speaker 4: Anytime something that may any left leaning politicis or anything

2263
01:52:02,920 --> 01:52:05,559
Speaker 4: in a left leaning state look bad, it's never let's

2264
01:52:05,560 --> 01:52:07,400
Speaker 4: tell you what happened, it's let's see how we could

2265
01:52:07,439 --> 01:52:10,479
Speaker 4: cover this up and discredit this whatsoever. But again, I'll

2266
01:52:10,520 --> 01:52:12,960
Speaker 4: say it again, I've said it multiple times. Heaven forbid.

2267
01:52:13,040 --> 01:52:15,960
Speaker 4: If this happened in Texas or Florida, Oh, Legacy media

2268
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:18,439
Speaker 4: will have all their trucks out in that state, reporting

2269
01:52:18,560 --> 01:52:21,559
Speaker 4: live from the governor's mansion. They'll stay out there all night,

2270
01:52:21,640 --> 01:52:24,240
Speaker 4: hounding DeSantis or whoever it would be if it was

2271
01:52:24,240 --> 01:52:24,800
Speaker 4: a red state.

2272
01:52:25,880 --> 01:52:30,160
Speaker 3: And it's been a rough year for legacy media. Legacy

2273
01:52:30,320 --> 01:52:33,320
Speaker 3: Media brought us the quote Maryland manned.

2274
01:52:33,439 --> 01:52:34,000
Speaker 5: Oh god.

2275
01:52:34,560 --> 01:52:37,880
Speaker 3: Now, if you don't know anything about the news, Let's

2276
01:52:37,880 --> 01:52:40,280
Speaker 3: say you woke up from a coma from a car

2277
01:52:40,400 --> 01:52:45,840
Speaker 3: wreck and you turned on MS DNC or CNN and

2278
01:52:46,040 --> 01:52:48,920
Speaker 3: you saw the story, you would think, oh, this is awful.

2279
01:52:49,439 --> 01:52:53,720
Speaker 3: We deported the wrong guy. He's just a simple Maryland man.

2280
01:52:54,080 --> 01:52:57,599
Speaker 3: He's a dad. I can't believe the Trump administration would

2281
01:52:57,640 --> 01:53:02,160
Speaker 3: do this. But the real st was that this guy

2282
01:53:02,400 --> 01:53:07,000
Speaker 3: was a violent gang member, linked to MS thirteen and oh,

2283
01:53:07,080 --> 01:53:11,960
Speaker 3: by the way, a domestic abuser, among other things. So yeah,

2284
01:53:12,160 --> 01:53:14,479
Speaker 3: you can tell him to go. I don't care if

2285
01:53:14,520 --> 01:53:16,759
Speaker 3: he's a dad. I don't care if he's from Maryland,

2286
01:53:16,960 --> 01:53:19,200
Speaker 3: if he's got a rap sheet longer than a CVS

2287
01:53:19,360 --> 01:53:20,519
Speaker 3: receipt Kick Rocks.

2288
01:53:20,800 --> 01:53:22,639
Speaker 4: I don't think I'm losing sleep over to the fact

2289
01:53:22,680 --> 01:53:24,400
Speaker 4: that this guy is out of the country. I have

2290
01:53:24,479 --> 01:53:26,600
Speaker 4: the stuff that he does here. I mean, anyone with

2291
01:53:26,680 --> 01:53:29,320
Speaker 4: the brain wouldn't lose sleep over that too. But because

2292
01:53:29,360 --> 01:53:32,200
Speaker 4: it's it's the world we live in now, the media

2293
01:53:32,479 --> 01:53:34,800
Speaker 4: will wrap their heads around this and say that this

2294
01:53:34,880 --> 01:53:37,439
Speaker 4: guy was a great person. They're saying a gang member

2295
01:53:38,040 --> 01:53:38,960
Speaker 4: was a good person.

2296
01:53:39,000 --> 01:53:42,439
Speaker 3: Somebody that beats the hell out of women. But he's

2297
01:53:42,600 --> 01:53:44,160
Speaker 3: just a simple Maryland dad.

2298
01:53:44,520 --> 01:53:45,439
Speaker 2: No, he's not. No.

2299
01:53:46,000 --> 01:53:50,160
Speaker 3: And also the media is shifting the narrative that the

2300
01:53:50,320 --> 01:53:55,759
Speaker 3: real victims in the war on drugs are these poor, innocent,

2301
01:53:55,920 --> 01:54:00,479
Speaker 3: struggling folks that are just trying to drive fentanyl loaded

2302
01:54:00,880 --> 01:54:02,439
Speaker 3: vessels in the ocean.

2303
01:54:02,880 --> 01:54:04,160
Speaker 2: They're pro drug boat.

2304
01:54:04,960 --> 01:54:07,680
Speaker 3: They are trying to make the drug dealers who want

2305
01:54:07,720 --> 01:54:12,559
Speaker 3: to bring in fetanyl to kill all of your teenage sons,

2306
01:54:13,280 --> 01:54:16,800
Speaker 3: maybe your daughters. But it's a big killer of teenage

2307
01:54:16,880 --> 01:54:21,479
Speaker 3: boys in this country. Fentanyl coming over in drug boats

2308
01:54:21,520 --> 01:54:28,000
Speaker 3: from Venezuela. Fetterman, Democratic Senator, Senator himself, we've got the intelligence,

2309
01:54:28,280 --> 01:54:31,639
Speaker 3: we know who they are. This isn't a crapshoot. We're

2310
01:54:31,800 --> 01:54:38,080
Speaker 3: killing drug dealers. But CNN and ms DNC they're making

2311
01:54:38,160 --> 01:54:41,160
Speaker 3: this sound like, well, we had to go back and

2312
01:54:41,280 --> 01:54:45,640
Speaker 3: bomb them again because those poor struggling survivors got back

2313
01:54:45,720 --> 01:54:49,080
Speaker 3: on the boat. Struggling survivors people that want to bring

2314
01:54:49,200 --> 01:54:52,720
Speaker 3: fetanyl in Chris to kill people your age, drug.

2315
01:54:52,560 --> 01:54:55,600
Speaker 4: Dealers that are smuggling fentanyl in throughout the country, which

2316
01:54:55,640 --> 01:54:57,440
Speaker 4: is a major problem in this country. And this is

2317
01:54:57,480 --> 01:54:59,800
Speaker 4: such a horrible hill to die on, not only for

2318
01:55:00,240 --> 01:55:03,360
Speaker 4: legacy media, but for Democrats too. They are also in

2319
01:55:03,480 --> 01:55:07,240
Speaker 4: support of these just violent drug dealers, and I don't

2320
01:55:07,280 --> 01:55:10,040
Speaker 4: think it's going over well with the public. Like if

2321
01:55:10,080 --> 01:55:11,720
Speaker 4: they're gonna die on the hill that we need to

2322
01:55:11,760 --> 01:55:16,080
Speaker 4: be defending drug cartel members and drug smugglers, that is

2323
01:55:16,160 --> 01:55:19,880
Speaker 4: an extremely tough sell to the American people right there.

2324
01:55:20,600 --> 01:55:23,440
Speaker 3: That's good enough to be popular in your inner circle

2325
01:55:23,560 --> 01:55:26,640
Speaker 3: of liberal butt sniffers, right, but it can't win you

2326
01:55:26,800 --> 01:55:28,200
Speaker 3: a national election.

2327
01:55:28,080 --> 01:55:28,680
Speaker 4: Right exactly.

2328
01:55:28,840 --> 01:55:31,600
Speaker 3: It could win you a primary depending on the states

2329
01:55:31,920 --> 01:55:36,360
Speaker 3: or the district. You can't win national being that level

2330
01:55:36,400 --> 01:55:37,480
Speaker 3: of stupid, You just can't.

2331
01:55:37,520 --> 01:55:40,280
Speaker 4: The swing states would not agree with you on that whatsoever.

2332
01:55:40,400 --> 01:55:40,720
Speaker 4: Right there.

2333
01:55:41,360 --> 01:55:45,640
Speaker 3: But I think the gold standard of hating the national

2334
01:55:45,760 --> 01:55:50,560
Speaker 3: media came after the Charlie Kirk assassination. Now I will

2335
01:55:50,640 --> 01:55:54,760
Speaker 3: give ms I'll call them by their proper name now MS.

2336
01:55:55,080 --> 01:55:59,600
Speaker 3: Now the artist formerly known as ms NBC, which I

2337
01:55:59,640 --> 01:56:02,120
Speaker 3: believe Trump dubbed them ms DNC.

2338
01:56:03,760 --> 01:56:05,560
Speaker 2: They had a guy named Matthew Dowd.

2339
01:56:06,480 --> 01:56:11,400
Speaker 3: And this is minutes, not even an hour, I believe,

2340
01:56:11,440 --> 01:56:15,480
Speaker 3: after Charlie Kirk was announced dead after being shot on

2341
01:56:15,760 --> 01:56:19,360
Speaker 3: stage at one of his Turning Point USA events. This

2342
01:56:19,600 --> 01:56:23,960
Speaker 3: clown Matthew Dowd has the worst take of the year.

2343
01:56:24,960 --> 01:56:28,200
Speaker 3: So at first he claims the gun shot might have

2344
01:56:28,280 --> 01:56:32,160
Speaker 3: been some rowdy Trump supporter firing a gun and celebration

2345
01:56:32,560 --> 01:56:36,560
Speaker 3: because they love guns so much. But then if that

2346
01:56:36,680 --> 01:56:40,880
Speaker 3: stupidity wasn't enough, he doubles down by saying, well, Charlie

2347
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:44,080
Speaker 3: was divisive, so he was basically asking for it.

2348
01:56:44,760 --> 01:56:47,560
Speaker 2: This took place on the air.

2349
01:56:48,160 --> 01:56:50,280
Speaker 9: We don't know any of the full details of this

2350
01:56:50,440 --> 01:56:52,120
Speaker 9: that we don't know if this was a supporter or

2351
01:56:52,160 --> 01:56:54,920
Speaker 9: shooting their gun off in celebration or so. We have

2352
01:56:55,080 --> 01:56:58,240
Speaker 9: no idea about this. But following up what was just said,

2353
01:56:58,440 --> 01:57:01,440
Speaker 9: he's been one of the most deviceive of especially devisive

2354
01:57:01,520 --> 01:57:05,320
Speaker 9: younger figures in this who is constantly sort of pushing

2355
01:57:05,960 --> 01:57:08,800
Speaker 9: this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at

2356
01:57:08,840 --> 01:57:12,800
Speaker 9: certain groups. And I always go back to hateful thoughts

2357
01:57:13,480 --> 01:57:17,800
Speaker 9: lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions.

2358
01:57:18,400 --> 01:57:21,360
Speaker 9: And I think that's the environment we're in that people

2359
01:57:21,520 --> 01:57:24,440
Speaker 9: just you can't stop with these sort of awful thoughts

2360
01:57:24,520 --> 01:57:26,760
Speaker 9: you have and then saying these awful words and not

2361
01:57:26,960 --> 01:57:29,040
Speaker 9: expect awful actions to take place.

2362
01:57:29,520 --> 01:57:31,360
Speaker 2: And that's the unfortunate environment we're in.

2363
01:57:32,120 --> 01:57:35,320
Speaker 3: It takes a lot, I mean a lot to be

2364
01:57:36,080 --> 01:57:39,480
Speaker 3: the dumb guy on MSNBC, and it takes a lot

2365
01:57:39,520 --> 01:57:42,240
Speaker 3: to get fired from ms NBC.

2366
01:57:43,000 --> 01:57:43,960
Speaker 2: He pulled off both.

2367
01:57:44,360 --> 01:57:47,200
Speaker 4: So according to Matt here, if you just have a

2368
01:57:47,320 --> 01:57:51,080
Speaker 4: different opinion, you are asking to get shot and killed.

2369
01:57:51,400 --> 01:57:54,160
Speaker 4: Is that the take he's trying to make here, that's correct? Yes,

2370
01:57:54,520 --> 01:57:55,280
Speaker 4: Jesus Christ.

2371
01:57:55,720 --> 01:57:58,800
Speaker 3: And it could have been a rowdy Trump supporter, because

2372
01:57:58,800 --> 01:58:01,200
Speaker 3: you know, we're all just you say, Andy Sam running

2373
01:58:01,240 --> 01:58:02,320
Speaker 3: around firing.

2374
01:58:02,040 --> 01:58:05,160
Speaker 4: A once in the as after a gold rush here,

2375
01:58:05,200 --> 01:58:06,440
Speaker 4: what's going on? Jesus.

2376
01:58:06,560 --> 01:58:10,920
Speaker 3: That was the worst take of anybody in the national

2377
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:12,680
Speaker 3: media in twenty twenty five.

2378
01:58:13,320 --> 01:58:15,120
Speaker 2: I think we need something fun.

2379
01:58:15,320 --> 01:58:17,760
Speaker 3: I think we need something more lighthearted to pick us

2380
01:58:17,840 --> 01:58:20,760
Speaker 3: up here on New Year's Eve, so stick around. Coming

2381
01:58:20,840 --> 01:58:24,920
Speaker 3: up after the break, the final round of Alabama jokes,

2382
01:58:25,600 --> 01:58:30,240
Speaker 3: making fun of those Hillbillies, those toothless imbrands down in Alabama.

2383
01:58:30,400 --> 01:58:34,720
Speaker 3: Let's have the Rose Bowl that's next tomorrow. It's on

2384
01:58:35,120 --> 01:58:40,000
Speaker 3: like Donkey Kong, the Rose Bowl, the Hoosiers, the Crimson Tide.

2385
01:58:40,320 --> 01:58:42,960
Speaker 3: For the final time, let's crank up some good old

2386
01:58:43,000 --> 01:58:48,840
Speaker 3: fashioned Alabama jokes. Why couldn't baby Jesus be born in

2387
01:58:48,920 --> 01:58:52,920
Speaker 3: Alabama because there's no way they would find three wise

2388
01:58:53,000 --> 01:58:54,360
Speaker 3: men or a young virgin.

2389
01:58:54,760 --> 01:59:01,800
Speaker 4: Why are there so many unsolved murder in Alabama? Well

2390
01:59:01,960 --> 01:59:04,640
Speaker 4: that would be because there's no dental records and everyone

2391
01:59:04,760 --> 01:59:05,640
Speaker 4: has the same DNA.

2392
01:59:06,000 --> 01:59:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you give an Alabama man of a sectomy?

2393
01:59:11,960 --> 01:59:13,840
Speaker 2: You slap his sister in the back of the head.

2394
01:59:16,760 --> 01:59:20,839
Speaker 4: What do tornadoes and Alabama couples getting divorced have in common?

2395
01:59:21,440 --> 01:59:23,240
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, somebody is going to

2396
01:59:23,280 --> 01:59:23,920
Speaker 4: lose a trailer.

2397
01:59:26,960 --> 01:59:29,480
Speaker 3: What did the Alabama couples say to the judge before

2398
01:59:29,520 --> 01:59:31,160
Speaker 3: their divorce was finalized?

2399
01:59:32,080 --> 01:59:34,440
Speaker 2: Do we still get to be brother and sister? Pooh?

2400
01:59:37,200 --> 01:59:41,840
Speaker 4: What is the definition of safe sex down in Alabama. Well,

2401
01:59:42,240 --> 01:59:44,160
Speaker 4: wrapping your cousin in bubble wrap should do it.

2402
01:59:45,360 --> 01:59:51,240
Speaker 3: Are Oh, we're gonna close this with a little Hammer
