1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: This is the Kendall and Casey Show, ninety three WIBC. 2 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: with you. I am going to talk about some news things, 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: although I also have a story about naked flying that 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: I'll get to later on. It's not you think it's 6 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,439 Speaker 1: it's now you think, but it is a trend a 7 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 1: lot of people are doing, apparently to make travel easier 8 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: for them. You do wear cloth clothing well, naked flying. 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: We'll get to that, as I said later on, though 10 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that now. Some other things 11 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: out there that I thought were interesting. I think the 12 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: conversation about Minnesota is still tremendously fascinating for a variety 13 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: of reasons, and I won't do as deep of a 14 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 1: dive into it in this segment as I did. 15 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 2: Earlier to open the show up. 16 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: But I just I'm fascinated with the length of time 17 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: that this conversation was going on. There's audio that leaked 18 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: from twenty fifteen. I think it's from a local NPR 19 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: in the area. And the reason I say I think 20 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,279 Speaker 1: that is because they're doing the annoying, you know, podcast 21 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: narrative VOI over thing that people at NPR do, where 22 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 1: you act like you're as confused about the story as 23 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: the people you're telling about it, so you act like 24 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: just a regular person also listening to the thing that 25 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 1: you made. 26 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 2: It annoys me. 27 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: But anyway, they dive into this twenty fifteen town hall 28 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: meeting in which people are complaining about the Somali community, 29 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: the amount of people who were brought in there, and 30 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: how people in Minneapolis and Minnesota didn't really ask if 31 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: refugees should be sent there compared to somewhere else in society, 32 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 1: and the changes that were taking place, And actually one 33 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: of the questions asked was about assimilation, which of course 34 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: I think would send the NPR person up in arms, 35 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: and you know, racism and all that other stuff winds 36 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: up being the caveat or the actual goal. 37 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: Of the discussion. 38 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: But I do think that there's a value in talking 39 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: about the way that a community changes if a whole 40 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: bunch of people that have a very different set of 41 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: cultural values come into the place all at once, and 42 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: if the people who all come in at once would 43 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: rather have the cultural values of the place they left 44 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 1: than the place that they now live. That's the biggest 45 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: reason that these things get talked about, the great replacement 46 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: theory or whatever the thing is that you want a 47 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: reference and debate about and scream and yell racism about. 48 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: All of that becomes true in some sort of way 49 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: based on the preference people have, especially people who don't 50 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: go through the proper legal channels to live in this 51 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: country appropriately, to not live by the ideals of the 52 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: United States, even if they're on our soil, to live 53 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: by the ideals of wherever they're from, and that causes 54 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: problems for us. 55 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 2: That's the nice. 56 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: Way, the simplistic way, or maybe some people will still 57 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: call it the racist way to say this, but it's true. 58 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: It's very simply and easily true. And I think you're 59 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: seeing a lot of the aftermath of that play out 60 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: where people who actually don't like this country or resent 61 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: what they think is the prosperity, the richness, the financial 62 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: success of our country and so taking advantage of the 63 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: you know, political system, of daycare system, whatever it might be, 64 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: as far as a value to the individuals doing it. 65 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: They might think they're they're shoving their you know, middle 66 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: finger at the country that they don't like, like they're 67 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: hurting the place that they think is rich and powerful, 68 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: so their motivation is quite a bit different. And I 69 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: say this mostly because I'm married to someone who became 70 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: a US citizen. My wife, born and raised in Mexico, 71 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: went through the legal process of becoming a US citizen, 72 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: and it was kind of cool to see it from 73 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: you know, afar how to watch her study for the 74 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: test and then be very disappointed when she was only 75 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: asked like three or four history questions and she studied 76 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: one hundred and five or whatever the totality of the 77 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: thing was for the test. Like, my wife knew them all. 78 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: We had flashcards everything. She could tell you all kinds 79 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: of US history answers, or at least at that point 80 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: she could have, and then they only asked her like 81 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: four random questions. She's upset about that. She wanted way more, 82 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: but she got one hundred percent on her small test. 83 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: But that was just one part of the process. Other 84 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: things happened, and eventually she became a US citizen. And 85 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: then we actually got to go to an event where 86 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: a bunch of other people had gone through the appropriate 87 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: process of becoming US citizens and you know, stand up 88 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: and applaud and all that. It was cool and you 89 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: could see the value system on display from the way 90 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: that the you know, passion for becoming a US citizen 91 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: felt a parent and all the people who'd gone through 92 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: the process, like multiple people were crying and weeping. And 93 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: if you're here without the right to be here, or 94 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: with some pseudo right to be here, you might not 95 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: have likely don't have any of that value system and 96 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: may very much in fact hate the country that you 97 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: live in. And we're seeing a lot of that more 98 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,679 Speaker 1: for people who are born and raised here. You're seeing 99 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: the hate and the dislike of the United States come 100 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: out of a lot of young people that I think 101 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: don't understand and well enough what they're saying. I will 102 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: go the road of I think they're being idiots when 103 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: they say and do this stuff this way because of 104 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: how much worse it is other places. If you really 105 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: think that the United States is so terrible, go live 106 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: somewhere else and then see if you want to come 107 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: back here. The Rosie O'Donnell's of the world want to return. 108 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: The Ellen Degenereses of the world who left because they 109 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: hate Trump now want to come back to the US 110 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: because it's much better. And these are people who are wealthy, 111 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: who could have a very different lifestyle than say a 112 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: bunch of the other people complaining who go other places. 113 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: That is just one story, as I said, that's out there. 114 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: There are other things in the news that seem deserving 115 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: to be talked about. This is a crazy story and 116 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: it might not be on a lot of people's radar, 117 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: and it's not politics. But there is a story about 118 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: the boxer who just beat the crap out a Jake Paul, 119 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: who got in a horrible accident in Nigeria. I think 120 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: two of the people in the car he was in, 121 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: the truck he was in died, but Anthony Joshua is 122 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: the name of the boxer he lived. He has minor injuries. 123 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: I think there were two other individuals in the car 124 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: that were okay. They hit a parked car. I think 125 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: their suv hit a parked truck and it killed two people, 126 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: injured one the famous one, and then you know, two 127 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: other people walked away basically without a scratch. But just 128 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: sort of surreal to see that story in the news. 129 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure the reason for the accident will at some 130 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: point come out, and I know there's some speculation as 131 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: to what that is. I'm not going to go there 132 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: per se, because it's not definitive yet, but it might 133 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: not be good for the people that inevitably, you know, 134 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: caused the accident, and also the people who may have 135 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: lost their lives in this. They might have made decisions 136 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: they shouldn't have made that caused them to get in 137 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: the accent they got in. But nonetheless, it's just sort 138 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: of surreal to see that hit the news. And there's 139 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: even a video of Anthony Joshua sitting in the back 140 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: seat of the suv not yet getting removed from it. 141 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: I think he's the only person you can see. You 142 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: can't see any of the other people in the video 143 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: before eventually getting out of the car and then. 144 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 2: Being taken to the hospital. 145 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: It's just sort of insane to see that name in 146 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: the news that quickly for whatever reason. And then one 147 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: other story I saw out there that I thought was 148 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: interesting And I haven't touched on this much, but the 149 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: ability for there to be peace between Russia and Ukraine 150 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: has taken a significant hit recently. Russia is claiming that 151 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: an attempt at the life of Vladimir Putin was made 152 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: by Ukraine. Ukraine is saying, obviously that's a lie. In crap, 153 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: and I think Zelensky said that this is typical Russian 154 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: lies to try to sabotage peace talks. I'm going to 155 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: say something very blunt about this topic, and it might 156 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: not even be very popular, and I guess I don't 157 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: care darned. 158 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 2: I'm a fillin guy. 159 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: You can send the hate mail to me directly Radio 160 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: craigsy on social media if you want, might be the 161 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,679 Speaker 1: best way to do it. I don't know who to trust. 162 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: I know that I saw Ukraine and still do see 163 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: Ukraine as much more the victim in the conflict between 164 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: the two, of course, because they were invaded by Russia. 165 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: But for a variety of reasons, I see Ukraine as 166 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: the the you know, person in the conflict that I 167 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: most connect to the United States. Their defiant, ability to 168 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: fight a power more significant than them, all those things. 169 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: And yet I also know the history of Ukraine. I 170 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: know how corrupt that place has been for how long 171 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: it's been corrupt, and how difficult it is to believe 172 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: the things they say are true. And so I don't 173 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: know how to disconnect those two things in this conversation, 174 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: and I think that's been a problem of mine. The 175 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: entirety of the conflict is that even though I very much, 176 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: you know, would like to see Ukraine capable of defending itself, 177 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: I don't want Russian aggression to be rewarded in any way, 178 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: shape or form, and it is likely to be at 179 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: least partially in the piece steel that they've created. But 180 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: that feels like it also had to happen. But nonetheless, 181 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: I want to say this as clearly as I can 182 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: that while I feel as though I should believe Ukraine 183 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: and I want to believe Ukraine, it is hard for 184 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 1: me to parse out how likely it is for them 185 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: to lie. And because here's the other thing, I'll tell you, 186 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: and it's just my opinion, and then we'll take a 187 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: break and we'll come back and we'll do more fun things. 188 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 1: Ukraine doesn't believe in this piece at all. They might 189 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: be likely to sign on the dotted line, and they 190 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: might really push for a US security reassurances, which I 191 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: think is going to be fraught with issues, even though 192 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: I think they are necessary. You gotta do them. If 193 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: you're Ukraine and you're going to give up territory, you 194 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: have to be told that the totality of what's left 195 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: of your country is going to be protected, even if 196 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: it might not be, even if the US might go 197 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: back on that word, if God forbid, another invasion happened 198 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: in the future. And I can get to that some 199 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: other time. But I do think that all those pieces 200 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: are in play. And at the same time, Ukraine would 201 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 1: much rather have the US put boots on the ground 202 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: and fight. They would very much. As much as I 203 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: think Russia would not want that, Ukraine would want that, 204 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: and I think the whole world wouldn't want that, essentially 205 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: other than Ukraine. And so is there a chance that 206 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,959 Speaker 1: Ukraine did do this a disabotage peace talks themselves. Absolutely 207 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: there is, especially again when you consider the history of 208 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: the country. But I don't know if I'm allowed to 209 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: say that out loud without people yelling at me that 210 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: I'm a horrible person, a terrible person, and somehow a 211 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: fan of Vladimir Putin, which I'm not at all. Vladimir 212 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: Putin often makes his enemies disappear, which is, you know, 213 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: the scariest of the boogeymen that exist out there. 214 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 2: He is a terrible person. That is easily said. 215 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: No matter what President Trump says about his relationship with Putin, 216 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: Putin's a horrible world leader and not a friend of 217 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: the United States, so no one in that scenario is 218 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: easy to trust. 219 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 2: All right, quick break a lot more. 220 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: Craig Collins filling in Kendall in Casey ninety three WIBC. 221 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: This is the Kendall and Casey Show, ninety three WIBC. 222 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: My name is Craig Collins, filling in. By the way, 223 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: programming notes, I will be in on the Danish show tonight, 224 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: which airs on WIBC. I will be in on the 225 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: Chad Benson Show later this week, so you'll hear a 226 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: lot of me. Plus I'll be in for Tony Katz 227 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: I think tomorrow and then on Friday. So programming notes 228 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: for places you'll hear Craig Collins for the holidays are 229 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: officially over, of course, everybody is still traveling getting back 230 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: home from wherever it is you went over the next 231 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: few days, and so I have a couple of travel 232 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: stories that I thought were interesting. The first one is 233 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,599 Speaker 1: a brand new viral trend. This is in the category 234 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: of viral trends where you do something very differently. I 235 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: don't want to say the term that's used for it, 236 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: because it's actually a euphemism, but it is used a lot. 237 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: But anyway, these are things that you do that are 238 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: different than, say, what is typical. The latest trend is 239 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: called naked flying. This is where you show up at 240 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: the airport with nothing but your clothing that's on you 241 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: and also your wallet, your keys, your cell phone charger. 242 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: You don't bring any luggage event, not even a backpack. 243 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: You know, nothing, It's just you and you're there. I've 244 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: actually done this before, not to be a trend, but 245 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: because I didn't want to bring stuff with me for 246 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: a very short trip and people look at you like 247 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: you're insane. 248 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 2: I will put that out there. 249 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: When you show up to the airport and you have 250 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: nothing with you, and this is even after you've checked in, 251 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: where people could assume I just checked all my luggage, 252 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: people look at you like you're crazy when it's just 253 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: you and pockets. But anyway, they're saying this is a 254 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: great move. That you save all kinds of fees, that 255 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: stress is less, and that if you go somewhere guess what, 256 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: usually where you go you can buy stuff. So if 257 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: you wind up needing something at the place you're going, 258 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: you can purchase it. And then things are okay, but 259 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: I once flew for you know, most of a day 260 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: from one part of Florida to another part of Florida 261 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: and then was flown back. So it was a day trip. 262 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: So I brought nothing with me. I just showed up 263 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: as I was and it was great And I highly 264 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: recommend this. More people should do this. Kylin, what do 265 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: you think of naked flying? 266 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 3: I am a fan of this naked flying and again 267 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 3: not to be mistaken with being part of the mile 268 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 3: high club. 269 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 2: Right, exactly correct, right, and also the go ahead. 270 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 3: I would just be stressed out. My anxiety would be 271 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 3: through the roof, not even having a backpack. I carry 272 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 3: my backpack with me wherever I go, Like you never 273 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 3: know when you'll need insert all of these things. 274 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 2: This is true. 275 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, Now my wife would go insane with this too. Actually, 276 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: so the one trip that I went on where I 277 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: did this, she didn't come with me. 278 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 2: But if if there was a trip that happened, I. 279 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: Think she'd not only be, you know, freaking out, even 280 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 1: if she had all of her stuff, she'd be looking 281 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: at me in a way like I can't even I 282 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: can't even process you because it causes me to be 283 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: you know, anxious, but. 284 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 2: It is great. 285 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: I highly recommend it, and I think we should do 286 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: more of this. And I do love a different version 287 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: of this, which is not as fancy, but it's where 288 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: you drive somewhere for a few days and bring nothing 289 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: with you. I have done that multiple times. I've gone 290 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: to family friends' houses and had nothing. There was a 291 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: period of time where my brother had a downstairs bathroom 292 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: in his house that was full of Craig stuff because 293 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: they knew I wasn't going to come with like a 294 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 1: toothbrush or anything, so they just had all the stuff 295 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: there so we didn't have to keep buying it, and 296 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 1: it stayed there year round for when Craig stayed with them, 297 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 1: and I love that. There's something great about that, Like 298 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: when I want to go somewhere, jump in the car, 299 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: leave where I go to. I'll have stuff for me 300 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: there and that'll be good. This is the kind of 301 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: thing we're going back home to your family, if they've 302 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: left your room intact at all, you don't have to 303 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: bring stuff with you. 304 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 2: This is great. I highly recommend this all the time. 305 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 2: I don't know if you want to react to that. 306 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: Just driving somewhere for a couple of days without anything too, 307 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,239 Speaker 1: If you could handle. 308 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 3: That, I'd be curious if it's as good on your 309 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 3: mental health as disconnecting on social media and your electronics. 310 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 3: If it's you, like you truly relieve yourself of all 311 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 3: the materialistic things just live in. 312 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think it depends on who you are, 313 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: because it sounds like for you or for my wife, 314 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: it would be the exact opposite. It would make your 315 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: mental health, right, it would make it so much worse 316 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: even if you had everything the place you were going. Like, 317 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: the funny thing is when we fly back to Mexico, 318 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: my wife and I, and she goes more often than 319 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: I do. That's where she's from, born and raised. She 320 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: still has a room in her parents' house. 321 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 2: They've left it. 322 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: They've left a lot of her clothes in the closet 323 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: like they don't need it, so there's just. 324 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 2: A room in the house. 325 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: And so I always tell her when she's packing them, 326 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: like you have everything in Mexico, and she looks at 327 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: me like, how dare you, sir? We need to make 328 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: sure we have all this stuff a second or a 329 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: third time. But she could easily naked fly again. That's 330 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: wearing clothing, and you know not. The other thing from 331 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: the US to Mexico, without any issue whatsoever, has everything 332 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: she needs in the other house. 333 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 2: But she's never done it, never will, all right. 334 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: Another thing out there that I thought was interesting, there 335 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: is a viral trend belittling airplanes that are becoming more comfortable. 336 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: I can explain this a little more. It seems like 337 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: there's some airplanes that are trying to make it easier 338 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: to sleep. The position of your legs under the chair 339 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: in front of you, the way the chair goes back, 340 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: it kind of a slant, so that you could actually 341 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: be more like you're laying down. People are easily saying 342 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: this looks incredibly dangerous, like if the plane were to 343 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: crash or something bad were to happen, your seat belt 344 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: doesn't seem like it's going to secure you that kind 345 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: of thing. So people are calling this, yeah, it seems dangerous. 346 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: I have to be honest about something. I've never thought 347 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: the seat belt on the plane had value. I know 348 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: it probably does. I know people tell me it does. 349 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: But a plane crash is very different than a car crash, 350 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: and so part of me thinks that if you can 351 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: make me more comfortable laying down, even if it risks, 352 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: you know, my safety more in the awful event of 353 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: a crash. I think I'm okay with that because I'll 354 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: play the odds friend that things are probably not going 355 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: to be good no matter what I do in this world. 356 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: But people are crapping on the fancier ways to add 357 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: more comfort to airplanes, and I think that's terrible. 358 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 3: I feel like there's a way to go both worlds 359 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 3: in the middle of both. Yeah, yeah, and can't you 360 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 3: have the option to go comfy but then immediately be 361 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 3: able to put it back up to where it is 362 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 3: ideally more safe. 363 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're probably right, but I don't know the airplane 364 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: seat buck. I know a bunch of like stand up 365 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: comedians have done jokes about this before. To me, is 366 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: a mental health thing. I don't think it's really there 367 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: to help you, right, And I know that there's some 368 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: turbulence out there where you're probably happy that you're strapped 369 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: into the seat, so that's probably true. But by and large, 370 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 1: it's really just a thing. Like when you click it, 371 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: my brain always tells me this is not going to 372 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: protect me at all, So I really think it's just 373 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: there for mental health. So I would lean toward as 374 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: comfy as possible. I would love it if the airplane 375 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: just had full on beds that we could lay in, 376 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: you know, and just do it that way, even if 377 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 1: there was no safety. That sounds terrible for a bunch 378 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: of other reasons, but I would love it because I 379 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 1: can't sleep sitting up, so I never fall asleep on 380 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: a plane anyway. 381 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 3: Are seat belts on buses? 382 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 2: Some not all? 383 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: There's like, as a kid, like, that's the funny. Actually, 384 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: that's the funniest thing about the question you just asked. 385 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: As a little kid, nobody cared, you know, Like, you 386 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: got on a bus, there was no seat belt. What 387 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: are you talking about? That bus was pandemonium. I don't 388 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: even think you had to sit. The teacher or the 389 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: bus driver would scream at you to sit. But a 390 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 1: bunch of us kids went to school without sitting. We jumped, 391 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: we we talked, we did things we weren't supposed to do, 392 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 1: and the bus went relatively slow. 393 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 2: So I guess that's why it was safe. 394 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: But you learned at a very young age that that 395 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: was unimportant in certain situations, only to learn later in 396 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 1: life how bad of a decision that probably was. 397 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 3: Absolutely it's so interesting that the one the people with 398 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 3: the amount of the fact that you're on a bus 399 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 3: full of children and you don't have seat belts that 400 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 3: are actually adequate. 401 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 2: No did you have that? 402 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 4: Or no? 403 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 2: Did you do the bus? 404 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 3: Going to tell me little ones that you like hardly 405 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 3: even snap together? 406 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 2: Gotcha? Yeah? Yeah. Now I don't know, though. 407 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: That's funny to me that they taught you something totally different, Like, honestly, 408 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: the other thing that's funny about I turned forty this year, Kylin, 409 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: and I feel very old, and I'm very sad about 410 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: my age, and that's totally fine, But I'm trying to 411 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: eat healthier, and I keep thinking about how it is 412 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: a little kid like you ate terrible stuff and society 413 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: told you it's fine. You're a little kid, It'll be okay, 414 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: don't worry about that till you get older. That's a 415 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 1: terrible reverse lesson. I should have been taught at a 416 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: younger age, when I could eat whatever I wanted, that 417 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 1: you're supposed to be healthy. I'm not blaming anyone else 418 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: but myself or any of my food related decisions. I 419 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 1: just wish they didn't teach me the reverse first, and 420 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 1: then you learn the hard truth later. In life that 421 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: at forty you cannot have a fruit roll up and 422 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: have it not have the same amount of impact as 423 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: it did when you work it. 424 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 3: Well, even just not even encourage it's it's not just 425 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 3: being like, yeah, you're fine with it, the reverse stuff, 426 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 3: but encouraging it. Giving you candy for Halloween, giving you 427 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 3: more candy for an advent calendar through December, and it's 428 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 3: all of it. 429 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 2: Yes, it's all No. 430 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: And I was born on Halloween, by the way, so 431 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 1: for me, the candy became ubiquitous with my birthday, and 432 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: I thought everybody was celebrating me when we went out 433 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 1: in costumes, and I guess they weren't. Someone told me 434 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: eventually that they weren't. So yes, I blame everyone but 435 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: me for the fact that I'm not at the weight 436 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: I want to be at. And I don't want to 437 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: do the ozempic. I don't think I ever want to 438 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: do the ozempic. 439 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 2: But who knows. 440 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 1: I know more and more people that are doing it, 441 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: and I know more and more people that say that 442 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: it's something that's relatively safe and you know, there aren't 443 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: a lot of side effects and all that. I hear 444 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: a lot of medical people talking about that, and I'm 445 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,439 Speaker 1: not at a weight where I think I seriously need 446 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 1: to think about stuff like that. 447 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 2: But nonetheless, I just don't want to do it. 448 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: I feel like it's cheating for me personally. I feel 449 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: like you either got to get in real shape or 450 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 1: you know not. 451 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 2: I don't know. 452 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 1: But now I've ranted about that, all right, I think 453 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: it's time to take a break. After the break, we'll 454 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: come back. We'll do other stuff. We will talk about 455 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: serious stuff and silly stuff, because darn it, it's the holiday. 456 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 2: We should do both. 457 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: But this is Craig Collins filling in along with producer 458 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: Kylon hanging out in special assignment on the Kendall and 459 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: k C Show ninety three WYBC. 460 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 2: This is the. 461 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: Kendall and Case Show a ninety three WIBC. My name 462 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: is Craig Collins, filling in a thrilled to be with you. 463 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: I will be on for Dana Lash later tonight. I'm 464 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: going to keep mentioning that because it's on this radio station. 465 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: When I fill in some places, I can't say stuff 466 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: that I'm doing. But everything I fill in on happens 467 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: actually also air on WIBC, which is pretty cool. Actually 468 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: that's not how I got to fill in on that 469 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: other stuff. I've been asked that recently about Hall of that. 470 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 1: I think because I used to fill in on the 471 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: Chad Benson Show and still do. That's why Indianapolis and 472 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: WIBC first asked me to jump on this station, which 473 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: is awesome, and so I was thrilled when that happened 474 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 1: years ago. But anyway, I'll be filling in nationally for 475 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: Dana lash later tonight on your station. A couple quick 476 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: things to talk about. First, President Trump responded yesterday to 477 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: a question about the land strike that occurred in Venezuela. 478 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: He said, there was a massive explosion that essentially we 479 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 1: blew up a facility that loads drugs onto the boats 480 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: that then come into our country. Whether you believe or 481 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: not that this is a fight about drugs, I guess. 482 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 2: I don't really care. 483 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,239 Speaker 1: But this is a step further in the potential for 484 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: some sort of actual military conflict between the US and Venezuela, 485 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 1: a war to be started. A land strike puts you 486 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: one step closer to that being a potent inevitability. So 487 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: here's how President Trump responded to that question. 488 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 4: Okay, there was a major explosion in the dock area 489 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 4: where they load the boats up with drugs. They load 490 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 4: the boats up with drugs. So we hit all the boats, 491 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 4: and now we hit the area. It's the implementation area. 492 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 4: That's where the implemented and that is no longer around. 493 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, I do like that version of 494 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: that's no longer around. We destroyed it, and we'll keep 495 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: doing whatever we think is necessary in this fight. And 496 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: we'll see how Venezuela responds to that. But we're not afraid. 497 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: There is a version of a military might that obviously 498 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: exists for the United States, but how it's wielded that 499 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: causes other people to stand down and not fight us. 500 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: And I think this is potentially that version of military might, 501 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: the unapologetic demonstration of our capability in ways where we 502 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: believe what we're actually targeting and destroying is important to 503 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: the world. 504 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 2: The drug trade is bad. 505 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: I feel like that's a very obvious thing to say, 506 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: and a whole lot of people believe that to be true. 507 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: The people who are tied to the drug trade are 508 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: usually bad, terrible people who do awful things. So again, 509 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: like an attack on this, a fight on this is 510 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 1: not inherently bad for the world, even if people are 511 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: pretending that it is, which is ridiculous, but nonetheless, even 512 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: more so, it's very simplistically stated by Trump. Yeah, we 513 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: did that, and we might do more of that, and 514 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: Venezuela is going to have to decide how it's going 515 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: to respond to the fact that we're not really worried 516 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 1: about making them mad right now because of the thing 517 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 1: we're fighting. And I described this the other day. I'll 518 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: do it again. All of this is truthfully not about oil. 519 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 1: It's somewhat about drugs, but it's not about oil in 520 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: the way that people say it is. But it is 521 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: about controlling the biggest partner in our own part of 522 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 1: the world that works with places like Russia and China 523 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: to circumvent and sanctions that the US puts on those 524 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: countries when it wants it to do different things. A 525 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: China encircled Taiwan the other day, and I know Trump 526 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: said he's not at all worried about anything going on 527 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: over there or any sort of you know, potential show 528 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: of strength from China toward Taiwan, which is an interesting 529 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: point or you know, stance for the president to have 530 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 1: on that. Not that I'm saying he's wrong about it. 531 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: I just thought it was interesting that he said, I'm 532 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: not really worried about that at all. But nonetheless, I 533 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: think that what's happening in Venezuela is all designed to 534 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: try to get people like you know, those in China 535 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: and other places, to be more likely to behave when 536 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: we want them to behave and not do what we 537 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: don't want them to do. And had we had this 538 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: version of potential conflict and then hopefully control of some 539 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: of the decision making in Venezuela, we may not have 540 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: had Russia invade Ukraine. That's that's true. The way for 541 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: Russia to get around economic sanctions heavily, you know, depends 542 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: on places like Venezuela helping them do that. And if 543 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 1: we had an ability to disrupt that, which is what 544 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: is happening now, potentially I think that different things might 545 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 1: have happened. And when Trump does say that if I 546 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 1: was in office, that war wouldn't have occurred, this might 547 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: be the way that he meant going about doing that. 548 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:17,239 Speaker 4: All. 549 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: I want to play some other audio. This is Vladimir's Lensky, 550 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: who popped up on Fox News and did an interview 551 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: with Brett bher talking about a lot of different things 552 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: after his meeting with President Trump, but one of the 553 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: questions that Brett Bhar asked Lensky was about fraud. Fraud 554 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: that exists inside Ukraine, the amount of people inside the 555 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 1: government of Ukraine who have been caught stealing the money 556 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,959 Speaker 1: that's been sent to them to help defend themselves at 557 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: a time of war. For anything we talk about in 558 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: the world of political corruption, whether it's Minnesota and the 559 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: terrible things they're doing with the daycares like anything out there. 560 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 1: It's a different level to me of willingness to not 561 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 1: give a crap about any of the people that you're 562 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: supposed to care about in the world of government. To 563 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: take money during a time of war, to embezzle money 564 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: and things that are being sent to you to help 565 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: your country defend itself against someone else, to steal at 566 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: that moment is particularly evil in our society, and it's 567 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: been happening a bunch in Ukraine. So it deserves to 568 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: be answered. And this was the answer that Zelensky gave 569 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: to the question that Brett Bair asked about. You know 570 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: how you deal with that. So what do you say 571 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 1: to people about the concern about corruption inside Ukraine today. 572 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 5: Look, I'm focusing on the war. What about under corruption agencies? 573 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 5: I mean that they do what they have to do. 574 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 5: They have all their independence. Nobody is stopping there. They're 575 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 5: checking what they have to do, and we do stopping. 576 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,239 Speaker 5: It doesn't matter what person close or not we know 577 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 5: that or not or we don't. 578 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 2: I mean, they have to. 579 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 5: Do their work. This is war, this is democracy in 580 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 5: the same way, yes, and we have to respect it. 581 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 2: Of course, that was a terrible answer out of that question. 582 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 1: And I know that some people might say it's hard 583 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,199 Speaker 1: to understand what he's saying because the guy's got a 584 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: thick accent, But he actually tried to say absolutely nothing, 585 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: and he did a really terrible job of saying nothing, 586 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: of saying, well, the anti corruption agencies are allowed to 587 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: do whatever it is they do. He didn't condemn the 588 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: amount of corruption that's been caught and exists inside Ukraine. 589 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: And I know that it's both obvious to say I'm 590 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 1: focused on the war and probably important to make sure 591 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: that that's at the forefront of the things you care 592 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: about as the president of a country at war, But 593 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: you should be uniquely upset about the corruption going on. 594 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: That's been caught within your country at this time, because 595 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: a Zelensky will go out there often and say, we 596 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: don't have what we need to defend ourselves. We don't 597 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: have this, we don't have that, we need these things 598 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 1: to defend ourselves. Of course, if this peace deal isn't 599 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 1: made between Russia and Ukraine, it's very likely that Zelensky 600 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: goes out there says. 601 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 2: We need more help, we need more help. 602 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: And I think the first thing you should be doing 603 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: as a leader of a country, especially when at war, 604 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 1: is making sure you're not wasting the help you're getting. 605 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: And it sounds like a lot of that is occurring there, 606 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: and so it's just sort of surreal to hear someone 607 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: try to dodge a question like that. And again, I 608 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: guess this goes to the thing I'm going to be 609 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 1: a broken record about wishing that transparency became more obvious, 610 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 1: more apparent, more commonplace in the world of politics, because 611 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: it just simply isn't a thing that exists there. And 612 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people will say like, you 613 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: can't do it, Oh, we can't do it for this reason, 614 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: for that reason, for the security of our country or whatever. 615 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: I think more people than ever demanding it. And actually, 616 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: I'll say this a different way. So the guy a 617 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: Nick Shirley is his name, who went to Minnesota and 618 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: went around with I think a viewer of his YouTube show, 619 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: a guy named David who seemed to have actual information 620 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: about the amount of fraudulent clinics that existed in Minneapol 621 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: listen in the surrounding area. He went there, he did 622 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: a video. The video lasted a few hours and it 623 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: went megaviral on the internet. What is the importance of 624 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: that topic or that version of independent journalism, whatever you 625 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: want to call it, that I think Nick Shirley calls 626 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: himself an independent journalist, that people are doing it demonstrates 627 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: that it's harder to cover up the lie in the 628 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: society we live in now. That's the biggest takeaway for 629 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: me is that if you have someone motivated, and that 630 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: person can be motivated by a financial benefit. Yes, Nick 631 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: Shirley has asked for money after he put out that video, 632 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: and I would rather give him money than have him 633 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: find a job with an organization that's going to tell 634 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: him what he can and cannot talk about, Because if 635 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: he gets a higher paying job at some point in 636 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: the future from mainstream media, he won't be able to 637 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: report on everything anymore. So I think even supporting independent 638 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: journalism is actually important. I think it's valuable, and I'm 639 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 1: happy to see it. 640 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 2: It's good or bad. 641 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: We decide that, you know, if somebody starts doing salacious 642 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: stories just to get money, then I'd stop giving the money. 643 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: You get to determine the quality of the reporting every 644 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: single time someone puts it out there. But I think 645 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: lies are harder to cover up, even the Epstein stuff, 646 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: just quickly ranting about that, the amount of people that 647 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: demanded transparency, even when someone like President Trump was out 648 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: there saying it's not important, we don't need it, let's 649 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: move on from it. That didn't, you know, turn that 650 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: flame any lower. People still wanted it. Inevitably, we're hoping 651 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: to get it. There are still layers of what I think, 652 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: are you know, delays that might inevitably not prevent the 653 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: information from coming out at all, but at least delay 654 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: it longer than we want it to be delayed. But 655 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: that story seems to demonstrate the importance of being transparent, 656 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: of being honest, of being willing to tell us what 657 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: the actual truth is, because if you don't, someone out 658 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: there might go find it themselves. And so I think 659 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: that that threat, if that's what it is, which used 660 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: to be the threat that media and news had on 661 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: the power structures that exist in our society. There was 662 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: a time when certain reporters would knock at the front 663 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: door and they'd say that they want information, and it 664 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: would actually cause fear in the hearts of politicians and others. 665 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: And now that's anybody. Now anybody can essentially do this, 666 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 1: and I'm sure that causes a lot of headaches too, 667 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: But in the end, in the grand scheme of things, 668 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: hopefully it causes more honesty to exist in our society 669 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: from the places that want to hide the most things 670 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: from us because they're afraid that getting caught is worse 671 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: than not telling us the truth to begin with, and 672 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: it should always be worse. 673 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 2: Getting caught should always be more. 674 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: Damaging than just telling us whatever the thing is that 675 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: you don't want to tell us, all right, And that's 676 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: true of all things. That's not just politics, that's your 677 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: own everyday life, your relationship. If I do something and 678 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: the misses is going to be mad at me, better 679 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,719 Speaker 1: to rip that band aid off and tell her, especially 680 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: if the thing I did was buy something on Amazon 681 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: she didn't want me to buy, and it's going to 682 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: show up at the house anyway. And actually I have 683 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: a topic about Amazon will do after the break. More 684 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: drones are doing deliveries of products in places closer to 685 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: where I live. They're doing test things. I think Dallas, 686 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: Texas is one of the places that is doing this. 687 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: And I have a very unique thought about the drone 688 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: delivery of items that I'll get to after the break. 689 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: This is Craig Collins filling in on the Kendall and 690 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: Casey show ninety three WIBC. This is Kendall and Casey 691 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: ninety three WIBC. My name is Craig Collins, filling in 692 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: producer Kylin hanging out on special assignment as well. Drone 693 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: deliveries are becoming more common for Amazon. I think they're 694 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: doing it on the West coast California, Arizona, starting to 695 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: do it in some places in the South like here 696 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: in Texas, and likely to do it eventually in places 697 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: like Indiana and just everywhere in the future. A couple 698 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: quick things about the drone delivery stuff that I thought 699 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: was funny. First, the value of it would be a 700 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: last minute gift. If you want to do something in 701 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: the last second and someone cannot deliver it any other 702 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 1: way and it costs more money to do it, you 703 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: get it delivered via drone from whatever distribution center is 704 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: near you to your home. And the reason I love 705 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: that is that it would be impossible to hide it. 706 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: The whole reason for me, as a married man to 707 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: get a last minute gift is because I forgot about something. 708 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: It's an anniversary or some kind of thing, and I 709 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: forgot it existed, and I need to get a gift asap. 710 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 2: That's got to be there same day. 711 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: That's when you use the drone, And so the challenge 712 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: would be that I'd also have to distract my wife 713 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: long enough for the drone to drop whatever the thing 714 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: is I bought in the backyard, to pretend like it 715 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: was back there the whole time. 716 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 2: I love that part. 717 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: Of this equation because you'd have to like know when 718 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: the drone is coming and then maybe turn on a 719 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: movie real loud if it's going to be a lowed drone. 720 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: I don't know how any of this works, but I 721 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: just love that that was a thing out there that 722 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: people were talking about. And then also in the world 723 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: of the drone stuff. Can we shoot him down is 724 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: the other question, And I think there have been demonstrations 725 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: of law suits where people said, no, you can't shoot 726 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: that thing down when it's over your house because it's 727 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: somebody else's property. 728 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 2: But it feels like you should be able to. So 729 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 2: it feels like there's. 730 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: A gray area there where once the thing goes over 731 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 1: my house, I should be able to take it out, 732 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: although I know that's inherently dangerous, probably beyond just the drone. 733 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 1: If you fire up in the air with a gun 734 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: and miss that, bad things will happen. But those are 735 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 1: two questions that I had. I doubt that drones are 736 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: a big conversation right now in places like Indianapolis, but 737 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: it's coming. It's something that comes in the future, and 738 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 1: so I don't know if there'd be a better, you know, 739 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 1: decision than the distraction of turning on a loud movie 740 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 1: if you're trying to have something land in your backyard. 741 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: But someone who buys something via drone probably doesn't want 742 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 1: it to be as obvious as it is that it's 743 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 1: getting landed there. I don't know if you have a 744 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: thought on Matt Kylon or not. 745 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,919 Speaker 3: I hate that I immediately think of AI where it's 746 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 3: like it could be used for good or bad, and 747 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 3: we have to be seeing it and like is this 748 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 3: a good drone or is sure a bad drone? 749 00:34:58,800 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 4: Now? 750 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, every single question about technology right now goes through 751 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: the terminator movies, like is it are we creating terminators? 752 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 4: Yes? 753 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 2: Or no? I hope the answer is no, but it 754 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:07,959 Speaker 2: might be yes. 755 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: Another story out there that you saw that you fired 756 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 1: my way is about a really, really gross and of 757 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 1: course it's coming out of Minnesota, a distribution center that 758 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 1: apparently had like animal droppings and animal things and then 759 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 1: also bird droppings that rodent droppings and bird droppings that 760 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: somehow got into their products, and these products then got 761 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: distributed to a bunch of places in the Midwest, including 762 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,240 Speaker 1: Indiana one of the states that got these items. 763 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 2: And it's a lot of things. 764 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 1: Kylin, do you want to tell me the amount of 765 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: products that were impacted by the distribution center that's now 766 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 1: doing a recall for you know, rodent and bird droppings. 767 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't be able to list all of them 768 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 3: because there are two thousand products. 769 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 2: It's a lot of on the recall. 770 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 3: So like skittles, peanut butters, jingles, cosmetics, even pet food. 771 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 3: It's kind of concerning. 772 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, the cosmetics has to be concerning in a different 773 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: way than I would think of. That's not something that's 774 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: concerning to me necessarily. But you were even telling me 775 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 1: off the air that a lot of cosmetics have gross 776 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:12,879 Speaker 1: stuff in them. 777 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, most cosmetics are not made in great ways. I 778 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 3: think we're moving away from that. But mascara was known 779 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 3: to have bat droppings, the guana. There's a whole bunch 780 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 3: of different things in the cosmetic world that are just 781 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 3: not okay. 782 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 2: And ramen here that's terrible. 783 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's food, it's pet food, as you said, it's cosmetics. 784 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 1: It's all kind of crazy things. And this recall is 785 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 1: going to impact a lot of places. 786 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 2: A sugar, sugar. 787 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. This is a weird question. I don't 788 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: know how to ask this differently. I'm suspicious sometimes of 789 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,279 Speaker 1: the stuff I buy. Like there's no recall, there's no 790 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,920 Speaker 1: reason to be, but like, if something's off about the 791 00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 1: thing that I'm consuming, I'm worried about it. Last night, 792 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: my wife and I went to get bubble tea, which 793 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 1: she loves. She loves the bubble tea, and we were 794 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,359 Speaker 1: drinking it on the way home, and it just didn't 795 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,799 Speaker 1: taste right. It tastes like something was wrong. And it 796 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,840 Speaker 1: was the end of the night, right before they closed, 797 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: and I kept asking, like, do you think there's cleaning 798 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: agents in this thing? I really thought there could be, 799 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,359 Speaker 1: And we're both alive, we're both fine, so I guess 800 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: there weren't. But we didn't finish our bubble teas because 801 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,399 Speaker 1: it seemed like I think they just forgot to put 802 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 1: actual flavoring in it, so it was just milk and 803 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 1: bubbles and not actually any sort of you know, tea product. 804 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 2: But it was weird. 805 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 1: And anytime that happens to me, if I open up 806 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,719 Speaker 1: like a candy bar and it tastes wrong, I get 807 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: very suspicious, very quickly. 808 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 3: There's a whole list of the products listed on FDA 809 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 3: dot gov to go through the two thousand if you 810 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,399 Speaker 3: are intrigued or curious or even concerned that you might 811 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 3: have bought some, because there were some Indianapolis stores that 812 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 3: they were sold at. I saw that Bloomington, some here 813 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 3: in Indianapolis, not major ones like Kroger or Walmart, but 814 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 3: they're still listed. Another recall that I've seen online is 815 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 3: geoactive shrimp has been sold in Indiana. 816 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 1: What when did that happen? 817 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 3: It's just right now. They published on December nineteenth. It's 818 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,839 Speaker 3: still active through the holidays, especially going into your New 819 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 3: Year's Eve. Don't be buying waterfront bistro shrimp because. 820 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:21,320 Speaker 2: They might be radioactive. 821 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 1: And that is not how you get superpowers, even if 822 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: you think it is how you get so you do 823 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: not get superpowers that way by eating radio and no 824 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 1: one would want to be shrimp man either. 825 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 2: That sounds terrible. 826 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 3: Even something that the FDA had to investigate in back 827 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 3: in August was radioactive shrimp.
