1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: All right, So lot's still going on as it relates

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: to the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 2: Casey, what's the latest.

4
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,239
Speaker 3: So reported from NBC News, Pentagon officials are considering a

5
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 3: new military recruitment campaign honoring Charlie Kirk. The campaign would

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 3: serve as a quote national call to service, and it

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 3: would target young conservatives. They actually even have a proposed

8
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 3: slogan Charlie has awakened a generation of warriors, and this

9
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 3: effort is reportedly being led by the Undersecretary of Defense

10
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 3: Anthony Tata.

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: Okay, So, gut reaction is that feels a little icky

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: to use someone's death, just like were talked about for

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: political purposes for a military campaign.

14
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 2: Am I wrong with that? Like?

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: What is your gut instinct on that? Because I mean,

16
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: I want to be very sensitive to this. Obviously, Charlie

17
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: Kirk was an incredibly patriotic person. He loved his country

18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: very much. He was a big fan of the current

19
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: administration in running Washington, d C. But using the guy

20
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: in an ad or his assassination in an AD, I

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: don't know about all that.

22
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 2: What's say you?

23
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, some of the Pentagon officials they are opposing the

24
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 3: idea and they warn that exactly what you said, it

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 3: may appear that the military is exploiting his death. No,

26
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 3: something to note, Charlie Kirk never served in the military.

27
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: Right, and that's you know, lots of people I never

28
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: served in the military either. I have immense respect for

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: people who did. Try to always go out of my

30
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: way to say thanks for your service if I know

31
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: you served, and you know, wholeheartedly support our military. But

32
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: so I don't think you have to be a bit

33
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: a military person in order to be honored by the military.

34
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: However, it feels like it's more than honored.

35
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: It feels like it's using someone's death to try to get

36
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: people to do.

37
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: Behavior.

38
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 4: Right.

39
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: It feels very similar to people who are trying to

40
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: use Charlie Kirk's death on the redistricting stuff that it

41
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: just feels that feels kind of icky.

42
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 3: So there are some recruiting shortfalls. This from the Military

43
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: Service Recruitment Task Force. Only seven to eleven percent of

44
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 3: Americans now view military service as a viable career. That's

45
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 3: down from twenty seven percent.

46
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: Okay, I want to I want to come back to

47
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: something for a second, because the military does use I mean,

48
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: let's just be honest. They do use anything to get

49
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: people to enlist, right, I mean, in the wake of

50
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: nine to eleven, you know, the idea of patriotism, et cetera.

51
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: So they do this is not uncharted territory that they

52
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: would use some tragedy to try to get more people

53
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: to engage in the in the military. I did like,

54
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: I thought that was relevant to point that out. That

55
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: they've done this before, they'll do it again. They've had

56
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: various marketing campaigns over the years. They're just like any

57
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: other operation. They're they're trying to get you to do

58
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: something instead of buy a product. It's in the list

59
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: in there in their military.

60
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 3: In the US military, so some of the long term recruitment,

61
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 3: their numbers are down, and they're saying that this is

62
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 3: because of a shrinking youth population. Also fewer military family legacies.

63
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: So this is very This is very interesting that that

64
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: there are fewer people finding this to be a worthy

65
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: cause or cause that they are willing to put their

66
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: their life behind.

67
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: I think there's a variety of reasons for this.

68
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: Number One, when you continually hear what a rotten, horrible

69
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: country this place is, or ot we're oppressors, or whatever

70
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: the caused dejure or slogan dezure of the mainstream national media,

71
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: and let's face it, quite frankly many voices in the

72
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: Democrat Party, it sort of ingrains in you, why would

73
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: I want to serve for that?

74
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: Why would I want to die for that?

75
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it used to be that while we had

76
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: differences on policy or the way to run the country,

77
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: we all sort of had this core set of principles

78
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: or ideals that we agreed on. We just kind of

79
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: disagreed on how to get there. But that is not

80
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: the case anymore. I mean, there are a lot of

81
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: people who genuinely hate this country, and they some of

82
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: them have very loud voices, and I think when young

83
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: people see that, they go, why wouldn't want to go

84
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: die for that?

85
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 3: Another reason that they're saying that the numbers are low

86
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 3: is because more youth are being disqualified, and it's because

87
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: of their weight, their academics, or even their mental health history.

88
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: One other thing in our old pal Stephen Whitmer from

89
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: the Indie Reporter account on Twitter said this, and it's true,

90
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: which is boy, I don't mean to get off topic here.

91
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: So Fetterman is on Fox news, and you almost never

92
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: see a full body shot of him. They've had some

93
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: still photo of him.

94
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: He's like a wall Like I didn't I mean, I

95
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: knew he's yeah, but I mean he's like a like massive,

96
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: He's like a like an egg. He's like an egg

97
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: with legs. Was walking over there.

98
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if I guess it's been a while

99
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: since I've seen a full body shot at him. And

100
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: he looks so ridiculous as a US senator walking around

101
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: with the shorts and that's at that hoodie, Like on, dude,

102
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: you're one of the one hundred most powerful people in

103
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: the country. Wear a dang suit. Anyway, Sorry, I don't

104
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: mean to get distracted. Everybody said that it was like, holy,

105
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: he is a massive human anyway. Stephen made a good

106
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: point with this. So much of what our military seems

107
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: to be called to do now is engaging things or

108
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: be a part of things that benefit a very select

109
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: group of people, and a lot of people get rich

110
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: off of And what reward do you get for it?

111
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: Not anything that necessarily better is the country, but you

112
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: get the opportunity to try to not get killed.

113
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 3: Well if this happens. They're saying that they're discussing using

114
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 3: Turning Point USA chapters at schools as military recruiting centers,

115
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: and they have now surpassed over sixty two thousand chapter requests.

116
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 3: So Charlie Kirk's goal was to have twenty thousand chapters,

117
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 3: so they have well more than doubled that.

118
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: I had this conversation with somebody the other day. The

119
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 1: issue is not people in this moment that want to engage,

120
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: it's how do you.

121
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 3: Keep people engaged staining it, especially the.

122
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: Twenty four or seven news cycle right Like, he's got

123
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: his funeral coming up this weekend, which will be tons

124
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: of publicity and very well attended. I'm sure it'll be

125
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: a very emotional event. But then after that, that's sort

126
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: of the last thing. Then it starts to fade from

127
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: the news. Now, obviously this assassin, as his trial moves forward,

128
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: it'll be front and center, and if they find out

129
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: other people were indeed involved in the cover up or

130
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: knew about it doing anything, that'll make the news. But

131
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: where are we going to be six months from now?

132
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: How do you keep especially young people, you know, they

133
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: have attention span of a gnat.

134
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 2: I'm an old person. I have an attention span of

135
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 2: a gnat.

136
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: How do you keep people engaging this thing after it

137
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: starts to fade from the new cycle and frankly fade

138
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: from the memory.

139
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 3: Well that will be up to the new CEO. And

140
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: it was just announced yesterday that the new CEO of

141
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 3: Turning Point USA will be Erica Kirk.

142
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 4: Since everything has happened, I think the number one question

143
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 4: is what is going to happen with Turning Point? What

144
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 4: is going to happen next? And I'm pleased to be

145
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 4: able to announce that the Turning Point Board has unanimously

146
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 4: selected Erica Kirk as the new CEO and Chair of

147
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 4: the Board. And not only is that amazing in and

148
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 4: of itself, but I can assure you, Megan, that Charlie

149
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 4: told me personally, and he told others. He probably told

150
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 4: Mikey that if anything ever happened to him, that this

151
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 4: is exactly what he wanted.

152
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 3: So the board's vote was unanimous, and of course you

153
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: probably heard it. Eric opledged to make Turning Point USA

154
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 3: the biggest thing this nation has ever seen. She vowed

155
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 3: to continue all the Turning Point USA initiatives, like the

156
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,559
Speaker 3: campus speaking tour, the America Fest conference, his radio show,

157
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 3: his podcast, show. I have no doubt in my mind

158
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: this is a woman who is on a mission now

159
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 3: to continue his legacy. Charlie Kirk was a very talented

160
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 3: person and very busy. How are they going to fill

161
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 3: the role of that well?

162
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: And so I think what you're alluding to, And we

163
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: said this in the wake of his tragic death, his assassination.

164
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes sometimes the thing like we've said this for years

165
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: about WIBC. We do very well here. However, many many

166
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: talented broadcasters have come and gone and WIBC, you know,

167
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: it's had peaks, it's had valleys, but WIBC remains an institution.

168
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: The name WIBC is bigger than any person who has

169
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: ever cracked a microphone on this radio station, certainly including us.

170
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: If they told us tomorrow you're out of here, WIBC

171
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: would still go on. The institution itself is bigger than

172
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: any one person who's ever worked here. But there are

173
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: many organizations where an individual, companies, nonprofits, whatever, where a

174
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: single individual carries the day. There's a name for a

175
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: company they're working for, an organization they're part of, but

176
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: they are the thing.

177
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 2: It's them.

178
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: And so that's going to be very fascinating to see.

179
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: And again, I think for six months or whatever, you're

180
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: going to see it remain you know, a real freight train.

181
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 4: Right.

182
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: People are feeling this sense of you know, obligation, you know,

183
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: just stand up whatever. I think that'll be strong. But

184
00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: a year from now, two years from now, was was

185
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk like us, just a part of a very

186
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: successful institution or was he so powerful? Was his personality

187
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: so big that without him there they're not going to

188
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: be able to sustain that.

189
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 3: Well, you're definitely going to see an evolution of some sort.

190
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 3: But I do believe that Erica Kirk will be determined

191
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 3: to make it successful. Turning point USA. They played a

192
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 3: major role in youth engagement, especially during the twenty four election.

193
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: But who but okay, but come back to this. There

194
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: has to be somebody worth seeing. You're in the entertainment industry,

195
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: anything that whether it's US radio, live shows, sporting events,

196
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: there's somebody worth seeing. Without that, it just becomes sort

197
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: of some activist organization.

198
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 3: And maybe that's what it will evolve into. And it's

199
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 3: not going to be so much about the messenger, but

200
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 3: the message and the yeah.

201
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: But then you run into there's a million different people

202
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 2: who do that.

203
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: Like, I'm not trying to be you know, crasp by

204
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: saying this. There's a million other organizations that deliver conservative messaging.

205
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: You have to have somebody that's worth getting the people

206
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: to go see. Now, I'm not super familiar with Turning

207
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: Point USA. I obviously knew about Charlie Kirk, but I

208
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: don't know about their structure. Do they have a bunch

209
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: of people? Is there is there, like, for lack of

210
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: a better, a minor league system of people that they're

211
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: going to elevate that can be that next guy. The

212
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: reason when Charlie Kirk went to these events and there

213
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: were thousands of people there was he was larger than life.

214
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 2: He was the show. People wanted to go see him. Hey,

215
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 2: he's going to get into it with you know, these

216
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 2: liberals and right exactly. So, how do you do that

217
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 2: and not just become another organization without that individual.

218
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: Drawing people to these How do you create the large

219
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: crowds a year from now, two years from now without

220
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: that that larger than life personality there.

221
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 2: I hope they can do it.

222
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: I think it will be phenomenal for society. The message

223
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: he did was great. The way went about it was great.

224
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: I just don't know how you and how you do

225
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: it without the guy, and I guess we'll.

226
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 3: See it is Kendall and Casey. It's ninety three w IBC.

227
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: Mom to Robert Kendall.

228
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 3: I did not. I just said Rob Kendall because the

229
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 3: the bumper music was playing, and you are always so

230
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 3: concerned that I'm not. I know if you're aware that

231
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 3: that was the bumper music. I don't know how familiar

232
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 3: are with Ed Sheeran's music.

233
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: That's all like, you're always so concerned. I'm not going

234
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: to be in here on time. I'm not gonna pay

235
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: attention when the bumper music plays. After three and a

236
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: half years, haven't you figured out that I have mastered

237
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: the art of half assing it?

238
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 2: Haven't you figured that out by now?

239
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 3: You do an excellent job of that.

240
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 2: That is, nobody can put less effort than I do

241
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: into something and get a better result.

242
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 3: This is true. So Ed shearon is set to perform

00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 3: it's a country band, it's a college. No, it's also

317
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 3: a country band.

318
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 2: Oh where was that at Grand Rapids?

319
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: Oh, it's been a long time since you've been to

320
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: a live music show.

321
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a couple of years. Oh wow, what

356
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:14,959
Speaker 1: filling in?

357
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 3: If you want? I mean, I don't think it's a

358
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 3: big sequel.

359
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 2: I didn't know. I didn't know if we were, like,

360
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 2: I haven't told.

361
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 3: Our bosses yet.

362
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 2: Oh, but do they have veto power over that?

363
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 3: I think they do. The other ones who signed the checks. Oh,

364
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 3: they have veto power over. But did they say anything

365
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 3: we do? Did they say that it was okay for

366
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 3: you to ask this person? Oh so then you already know?

367
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 2: Yes?

368
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: Okay, So next Friday, I'm taking a rare day off

369
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: of work. I'm also going to take that Monday off.

370
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 3: That seed now that I didn't know about, you just

371
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 3: like slid that one. Well right in there, you're like Friday,

372
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 3: it's a big deal. Ryder Cup.

373
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: Ok, here's what's happening. I have very little fun in

374
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: my life anymore. But the one thing I look forward

375
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: to it because it's only every two years. It is

376
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: basically the Olympics of golf. It is arguably now the

377
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: biggest event in all of golf is the Ryder Cup

378
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: where USA plays Europe. It is in America this year,

379
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: and I think it is my favorite event in golf.

380
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: It's a massive, massive thing. And I put on having

381
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: a lot of fun over the three days Friday, Saturday, Sunday,

382
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: so you.

383
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 3: Might be a little tired.

384
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: Friday, I was in I would be in no business

385
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: to participate with humanity. And then I'm worried about having

386
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: that much fun over three days. What Monday is going

387
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: to look like. So I just said, for the good

388
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: of the show, I gotta take the Monday off.

389
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 3: I'm glad you're taking Monday off, not because I don't

390
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 3: want you here, but because you need to use up

391
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 3: your vacation days.

392
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: I told my wife, I said, no parenting of any

393
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: kind for me over that Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

394
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 3: So she said, get a grip, dude, you have a child.

395
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 3: You're going to parent every single day.

396
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: Said, I'll do all the stuff the week of lead up,

397
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: but come eight am Friday morning.

398
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 2: I'm out. Huh nothing. Don't expect anything out of me.

399
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 3: That's not going to happen. You have a two year

400
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 3: old sponsibility.

401
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 2: You can ruin everything for me. Can you let me

402
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 2: have this one thing?

403
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 3: So I wanted to mention before we get to the

404
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 3: news really quick to Indiana bars named top ten college

Speaker 3: known as the Backer, very.

412
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: Very low selling bin seems like a very boring place

413
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: to party. That's that Bloomington. When you said blue, I

414

420
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: or six saturdays a year.

421
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. But the Backer

422
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 3: is right across from campus and it's always packed.

423
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 2: To do that anymore. I've retired.

00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 2: Fall. You ever noticed all the country music kind of

427
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 2: sounds exactly the same.

428
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 3: I like that song that's Old Dominion. By the way.

429
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 2: Do you ever work at a country station?

430
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, a few times.

431
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:24,080

435
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: My dear friend Shane, who runs the radio station in Brownsburg,

436
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: who's always pointing out all my flaws. He's a regular listener,

437
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: he pointed out and agregious mistake by me. We didn't

438
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: even We got to arguing. Your fault, not mine. We

439
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: got to arguing, and you you distracted me the point

440
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: where I failed to tell everybody who was filling in

441
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:51,359

Speaker 2: be with me on Friday.

450
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe Monday, h yeah, So there you go. So

451
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: I was interesting. I was talking with you know, we

452
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: had a wild show yesterday and one of the things

453
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: I think got it got lost because of the Aaron

454
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: Sheridan interview was that we had the Avon school people

455
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: and the superintendent and the school board president. We had

456
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: a spirited back and forth about they're going for a

457
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: referendum and they've pushed this timeline up to the this

458
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 1: year rather than what the new law says for next year.

459
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: And they sprinted to get that done, that paperwork done

460
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: so they could do that, and they had that video

461
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: that came out that was a private video, and of

462
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: course we got access to it and we had a

463
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: fun back and forth. Look, I give them credit. Most

464
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: people do to have near enough stones come in here

465
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: and have that conversation, and they did. Now, I still

466
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: think they're totally full of crap that they're pushing that

467
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: through this year because they want fewer people to vote

468
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: and it works in their favor. They can say whatever

469
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: they want about hiring teachers, whatever. And I think absolutely

470
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: they intended for that video to be private because they

471
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: wanted select people to get it, and we got it

472
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: and they didn't anticipate that, but you know, you got

473
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 1: twelve minutes or whatever it was, and there's only so

474
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: much you can get to. And they were very nice,

475
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: and that was a fun conversation. But one of the

476
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: things we were talking about was the lack of local engagement.

477
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: Talking with a friend of mine who has worked in

478
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: the state government for years and very respected individual who

479
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: we will not name for fear of being totally ostracized

480
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: and tarred and feathered if his name got out that

481
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: he associates with me. But we were talking about the

482
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: lack of local engagement because look, there isn't a great

483
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: organized opposition to this referendum, and oftentimes many of these

484
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: a referendums, and that's why they passed. The schools always

485
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 1: get organized, they get their people, they do it. And

486
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: I have a feeling this one's going to probably go

487
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 1: the same way. May be pleasantly surprised. Maybe our show

488
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: is that powerful that us just talking about it was

489
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: an to alert the people of avon how you're about

490
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: to get screwed once again. But anyway, and so we

491
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:10,719
Speaker 1: started talking about local engagement and why people don't engage

492
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 1: on a local level, and he made a great point,

493
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: he said, especially in an Obama and now Trump world,

494
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: it used to be that all politics was local, but

495
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: because of the headlines that these people grab, that sort

496
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: of isn't the case anymore. It seems like all politics

497
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: is national, and these politicians, as we're seeing play out

498
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: here in Indiana, are more afraid of the national boot

499
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,719
Speaker 1: coming down on them than they are the local backlash anymore,

500
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: because people have sort of bought it in all things

501
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: being national, whereas it used to be all things are local.

502
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is the top down governing, which is not

503
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 3: how it is supposed to be. It's supposed to actually

504
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 3: go the other way.

505
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I I obviously attribute a lot of that

506
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: to Trump. And look, there are a lot of people who,

507
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, emotionally invest in Trump on like any

508
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 1: other politician before. And no matter how many times you

509
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: can show people, hey, this is gonna be bad for you,

510
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: this isn't gonna work that, this is how it's gonna armue. Well,

511
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,239
Speaker 1: Trump wanted it, so we'll do it, or we'll e

512
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: gauge in it or whatever. And I don't know now

513
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: going forward, because obviously since Trump has become president the

514
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: first time and now again. Our society has changed a

515
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 1: great deal. The technology has changed a great deal. Social

516
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: media has become, you know, a much bigger thing. I

517
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: don't know how we go back from this national down

518
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: approach that we have today versus the local up approach

519
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: that we had before.

520
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if it's possible. And I heard

521
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 3: somebody saying the other day, you know, has has it

522
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 3: always been like this? No, you're just more aware now

523
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 3: because of social media.

524
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had this having this. I had this conversation

525
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: with Jim Marrett the other day. I don't think you

526
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: mind me sharing. I said, were you guys always this corrupt?

527
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: Or they're just aware of it now? And you know, Jim,

528
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: he's so nice. He goes, oh, No, the politicians were

529
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: always this.

530
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 3: It's always been this way.

531
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 2: You just know about it.

532
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and the media landscape has changed a

533
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: great deal. Was having conversation yesterday with someone who is

534
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: about to start a political media company here in the

535
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: state of Indiana. Don't know when they're going to get

536
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: it off the ground, but they've been in the process

537
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: of doing this for a while. And I said, one

538
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: of the things that's fascinating is there's fewer and fewer

539
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: legacy media people. I mean, we're still here, Star is

540
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: still here. But and while we do very well in

541
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: the ratings, we don't have the presence in the state

542
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: House we used to. We don't have a reporter there

543
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: every day anymore.

544
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 2: Star. They're spread out.

545
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: They have people that cover the state House, but they

546
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: cover a variety of other things. And so as you've

547
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 1: got fewer and fewer, you know, legacy media type of

548
00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: people in the state House, it has I have been

549
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: it's been pleasantly surprised that it has given rise because

550
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: there's somebody's stepped up.

551
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 2: People have stepped up to fill the vacuum.

552
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: The Capitol Chronicle, even our Palindi reporter is the citizen

553
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: journalists people the Adam Ran and Dual people like. So

554
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: there's new people getting information out and in a weird way,

555
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: you're almost getting more information out right. But is the

556
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 1: public lesson gage than they used to be because they

557
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: have so many areas they're being taken and they're being

558
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: spread so thin that they're not actively paying it. It

559
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 1: used to be when I was a kid, Star said it,

560
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: everybody got it, everybody read it. All the information was

561
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: funneled there and boom, they had a lot of power.

562
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: Now somethy can post something on the Internet and the

563
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: media might have not gotten before. But unless enough people

564
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 1: share it or it goes front and center, do enough

565
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: people see it to make a difference.

566
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 3: Well, to your point, I look at like television stations

567
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 3: in South Bend, where I lived for many years, they

568
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 3: would have people come down to Indianapolis to report on

569
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 3: what's going on in the State House. I don't do

570
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 3: that anymore. No, they're you know, getting their stories secondhand.

571
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: And though the downfall of that becomes and we've seen

572
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: this play out with elections where people here WIBC, the

573
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,719
Speaker 1: election results are much different than where they don't. And

574
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: so for guys like Diego Morales, they've totally figured out,

575
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: even though every so often he makes an egregious mistake

576
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: because he has such a massive ego and he is

577
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 1: an idiot, that other than where people can hear us

578
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: the twenty five counties or whatever, that story doesn't get reported.

579
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 2: You know, this India stuff doesn't show up in these.

580
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: Other places because you're right, Casey, there aren't the people

581
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: in these far reaches of the state covering the state

582
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: House getting the information back to their local citizens the

583
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: way they used to.

584
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 3: Well, it's because of budget cuts right hotly.

585
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 2: They can't do it absolutely.

586
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: And while there may be people in these far corners

587
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: of the state who are these citizen journalists, they don't

588
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: have the resources to come to the state House and

589
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: cover and then report back. They're reporting things that are

590
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: getting to them, So you don't have that the way

591
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: that you used to.

592
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 3: It is Kendall and Casey. It's ninety two read wyb

593
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 3: C and.

594
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 2: Coming up next. Yeah, I can't believe this is a thing.

595
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 3: It is. It's a thing.

596
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: There's a there's a I don't believe the one that

597
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: there's a world record for this, but there's a new

598
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: world record that I can't just process that. They keep

599
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: track of this, and you're enthralled by this, you think

600
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: it's amazing.

601
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 3: We're gonna go out on a light note. Okay, very good. Okay.

602
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 3: It's Kennel and Casey on ninety three w IBC.

603
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: Where we always on my that's awful.

604
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 3: The flag of piracy flew from my mess myself, was said,

605
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 3: wing the wing. I had a juke box, graduate boy.

606
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 2: So there's a new record in the Guinness Book of

607
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 2: World Records.

608
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 3: Yes, and it stems out of Fort Lane, Indiana. We

609
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 3: have a record breaker right here in the great state

610
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 3: of Indiana.

611
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: How exciting. It's Kenel and Casey Show and Rob that's Casey.

612
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 2: Do you know anyone who has ever been in the

613
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 2: Guinness Book of World Records?

614
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 3: No?

615
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 2: Have you?

616
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 3: You? You ever?

617
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: But most of my life is focused on me, So

618
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 2: that wouldn't I mean, does it?

619
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 3: It would take the attention off you and place it

620
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 3: on someone else.

621
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 2: I mean I haven't crossed paths with somebody. I just

622
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 2: wasn't interested enough to ask.

623
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 3: Well. I wrote about this the other day at WIBC

624
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 3: dot com. And since it's Friday and it's been a really,

625
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 3: really messed up week, I.

626
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 2: Thought it fun though.

627
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 3: I thought, let's go out with a nicer, more uplifting story.

628
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 2: And boy is it up because the.

629
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 3: Story is a Fort Wayne man has grown the tallest

630
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 3: sunflower in the world.

631
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 2: Rock. Wait, that's a record? How do they like? How

632
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 2: do they know?

633
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 3: Okay, well, they have the Guinness Book of World Record.

634
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 3: People come out and measure it.

635
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: Does every sunflower somebody grows? It's really taller. They're like,

636
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: let me get the Guinness people out here.

637
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,959
Speaker 3: Well, this was this guy's goal to grow the tallest sunflower.

638
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: Like some people want to be president of the United States,

639
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: some people want to run a fortune five hundred companies.

640
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: Some people want to create a nonprofit that serves the needy.

641
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: This guy's goal in life was to grow the world's

642
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: tallest sunflower.

643
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 3: Well, here's the backstory on this fella. His name is

644
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 3: Alex Babbitch, and he was an immigrant from Ukraine when

645
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 3: he was twelve years old. He left after Chernobyl and

646
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 3: he ended up here in Indiana. The sunflower, i guess,

647
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 3: is the national flower of Ukraine. So he was planting

648
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 3: flowers for years, so.

649
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: He was bringing his cultures and traditions over here rather

650
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: than adapting to ours.

651
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 2: Very good casey, carry on, Okay.

652
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 3: Well, he grew the record breaking sunflower. It reached thirty

653
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 3: five feet and nine inches, taller than a telephone pole.

654
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 3: How tall? Thirty five feet nine inches.

655
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 2: So like.

656
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: Miles Turner for the pacer, Well, he's not on the

657
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: pacers anymore, but he's like seven foot tall. So you

658
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: took five of them of him and just stacked him

659
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: on top of himself. That's how tall this thing would be.

660
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, The previous record was held by somebody in Germany.

661
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 3: But this flower in Fort Wayne clearly beat the record.

662
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 3: It's got a name. Even the flower has a name.

663
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 2: Well, the flower has a name.

664
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 3: It's called clover. And on September third, about eighty five

665
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 3: people gathered in Fort Wayne to witness the official measurement,

666
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 3: and they had representatives from Guinness on hand. They had

667
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 3: a drone and a cherry picker. I was gonna refuse

668
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 3: to confirm the height.

669
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, how did they get up there to do that? Okay,

670
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 2: so what does he do now? Just snip it and

671
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 2: let it fall down?

672
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know what he's gonna do. I think

673
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 3: eventually it will just fall over, right sunflower? Yeah, it

674
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 3: gets top heavy.

675
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: It is very bizarre that this is what people do

676
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: with I mean, at some point this guy had to

677
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: be sitting around and said, whether he likes sunflowers, whatever,

678
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: you know what I'm gonna do. I'm going to grow

679
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: the world's tallest sunflower because we haven't done enough for

680
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: Ukraine in this country. We haven't given Ukraine enough. Now

681
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: we need to have their flower on American soil, setting

682
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: the Guinness Book of World Records.

683
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 3: Well, this guy is a landscape gardener and he also

684
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 3: sells seeds. Now, keep in mind he has been in

685
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 3: the United States since he was twelve years old. He's

686
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 3: a grown adult with children now, so he's been here

687
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 3: for quite a while. The giant flower, it's going to

688
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 3: be featured in a documentary called Bloom. But that got

689
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 3: me thinking about the Guinness Book of World Records. Yeah,

690
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 3: you know it's.

691
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 2: I worked there.

692
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: How do you get that? How do you get to

693
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: work for? Is that like you going indeed or something?

694
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: Are they looking for people? How do you get a job?

695
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 3: I want to be a record measure with the.

696
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: Guinness Book of Work And okay, so let's say some

697
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: guy like says I'm gonna grow the world's tallest sunflower.

698
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: They've got to have a historical log of that. Hey, Pete,

699
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: get back in the sunflower section of the book. Let's

700
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: see what the tallest sunflower is.

701
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 3: Yes, they're keeping these, you know, measurements and documents. It

702
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 3: was first published in nineteen fifty five and it started

703
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 3: out of England because some guys were arguing in a

704
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 3: pub and somebody said, hey, you know what, it'd be

705
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 3: really good if we could start keeping track of stuff.

706
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 3: And this might not be a bad idea for a book.

707
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 2: How do they make money though?

708
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: Like, okay, so my question, like at one point they

709
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: physically sold a book, right, maybe they still do, but

710
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 1: in the internet era, how do they make money? Do

711
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: you have to subscribe to their web I'm sure it's

712
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: all online now do you have to subscribe to their website?

713
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: Is it a pay service?

714
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 4: Yeah?

715
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 3: Behind a pay wall?

716
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 2: That was question homework and look this up before we

717
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 2: did this segment.

718
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 3: Well, you know, besides the book, the Guinness Book of

719
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 3: World Records, it expanded to TV shows, museums, attractions, and

720
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 3: social media. Like you said, the book published in over

721
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 3: one hundred countries, thirty seven different languages. And they do

722
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 3: have people who send applications. They submit an application like hey,

723
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 3: I think I've got the record for whatever it is

724
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 3: you're doing, and then they have adjusters educators that come

725
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 3: and verify the records. So like this guy in Fort

726
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 3: Wayne had to submit his sunflower.

727
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 2: It is I just went on their website and it's

728
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 2: right there. You can just look it up there.

729
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: It is boom, the smallest sunflower.

730
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 2: It was two and one fifth inches. That's just a

731
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 2: little guy. So there's records for all this, so I'm

732
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 2: not I'm still okay, that's interesting. I'm now I'm going

733
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 2: to spend the week in figure out how they make

734
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 2: money now, because this was a freedom.

735
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 3: Look, you're always interested in the business model. So if

736
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 3: you were to enter something in the Guinness Book.

737
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 2: Of World Records, what would it.

738
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 3: Be longest rant?

739
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll give biggest ego. Maybe we'll do it next week.

740
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: We'll find out what the world's longest Lincoln Day Dinner

741
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: speech is, and I can give.

742
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 3: It on like they're keeping track of that.

743
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 2: Well, I kept track of a sunflower?

744
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 3: Sure, why not?

745
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't they keep track of boring ass?

746
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 3: We just get on there and look up Lincoln Day dinner.

747
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 3: First of all, the people at Guinness would be like,

748
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 3: what is a Lincoln Day dinner? What? What are you

749
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 3: talking about?

750
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 1: Well, that was a very uplifting story, both in terms

751
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: of positive but also very high in the air.

752
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 2: Yeah you got you checked all the boxes.

753
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 3: I encourage you to go break a record this weekend

754
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 3: of kindness and love? Can you do that?

755
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 2: Well, you're coming to the wrong place for that case.

00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:28,120
