1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,399 Speaker 1: This is the Kendall and Casey Show, ninety three WIBC. 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: with you. A bunch of stuff to talk about. During 4 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: that last break, I found audio of steven A. Smith 5 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: talking about President Trump with a lot of bad words 6 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,080 Speaker 1: in there. Not steven A being critical of Trump, by 7 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 1: the way, but Stephen A saying how Democrats screwed up 8 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 1: by vilifying Trump as much as they did leading up 9 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: to the election and trying to throw them in jail. 10 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 2: That was another thing. 11 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: I've cleaned up this audio as best I could in 12 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 1: just a few minutes. There are no bad words in it. 13 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,639 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any bleep sound, so I think 14 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: you're not even going to be able to tell that 15 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: some bad words are in here. But let's go ahead 16 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: and play on this, and let's hope for the Let's 17 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: risk it for the biscuit. Is the way that a 18 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: friend of mine in radio says all the time. Because 19 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: I think the audio is actually pretty good, and I've 20 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: warned Kylon enough times indirectly that a bad word might 21 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: have been met. 22 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 2: No, I'm kidding. I think all the bad words are 23 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 2: out here. We go. 24 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,279 Speaker 3: I told him what Trump let it go? What you're 25 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 3: trying to put him in jail for? They did everything 26 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 3: they could to prevent him from being the president. Trump 27 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 3: ain't going after these people, man, because of the election. 28 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 3: He going after these people because they tried to get 29 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 3: him to spend the rest of his life. Where is it? 30 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 3: He approached it eighty years old and you tried to 31 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 3: throw him behind bass He coming. 32 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I jumped some words in there, so we're good. 33 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: No bad words came out. And he kept going steven 34 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: A about how you know he's coming after these bleeping 35 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 1: people because of the thing they tried to do to him. 36 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: But yeah, that is essentially the argument I've made before 37 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,559 Speaker 1: on why if anyone thinks that there's political prosecution, which 38 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: I don't actually think is happening as much as mainstream 39 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: media does, of course in this current term, this current administration. 40 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: But if anybody thinks any that's occurring at all, or 41 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: even just some of the falling out of relationships, some 42 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: of that might be tied to the fact that they 43 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: almost got Trump to go to jail, or at least 44 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: they tried very hard to make that happen. And I 45 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: think I would also add they try to kill him 46 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: into that discussion. And so if you're someone in a 47 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: position of power, you know, I thought about. 48 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 2: It this way. This is a weird way to talk 49 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: about it. 50 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: Some places that I've worked in my life in radio 51 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: and media. I'm not here at WIBC, where I'm just 52 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: a part timer, but it's awesome to work for this organization. 53 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: But some other places I've worked, they haven't had the 54 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: same acceptance of the mission statement at all levels. What 55 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: I mean by that is, if you have a conservative 56 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 1: leaning station, but you have people within the company who 57 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: do not lean conservative, those people might not want the 58 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: station that you have to succeed that disagrees with them. 59 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: And they could be sales directors, they could be news directors, 60 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: they could be all kinds of people. There are people 61 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: who are at odds with the mission of the organization 62 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: they work for, and that's bad. That doesn't turn out good, 63 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: and especially in the world of media, it significantly makes 64 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: things worse. And so I've been at places where as 65 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: things progressed and even as success is being found and 66 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: like ratings are turning out good and whatnot, there's people 67 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: actively cheering against you and sort of trying to harm 68 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: you along the way. And the reason I'm saying this 69 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: is not to complain about my career. That would be 70 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: fun and cathartic, but that's not the point of this. 71 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: The point is I always fantasize what it would be 72 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: like to become in charge of those places. The place 73 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: is where there were roadblocks that shouldn't exist. And I 74 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: think anybody who say, has somebody at work at whatever 75 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: the job is you do, who you feel like is 76 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: standing in your way and trying to prevent you from 77 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: whatever the success is, whether it's jumping over them in 78 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: the chain, which of course I guess people might do 79 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: that if they think that you're going to, you know, 80 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: rise above wherever they're at. A lot of resentment can 81 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: take place in those situation, whatever it might be. 82 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 2: I don't care what the reason. 83 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: Is, but anyway, I think a lot of people fantasize 84 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: about just firing everybody. You get in that position of power. 85 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: As soon as you you know, are in a role 86 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: where you can actually impact the people who've been impacting you. 87 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: You want to do as much negative as you can 88 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: and then think of it times a million. If you're 89 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: the president of the United States, and you get into a 90 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: position of power where every system they had, you know, 91 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: at their disposal, they tried to use against you. What 92 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: would you do is the question of that? How would 93 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: you behave? And I'll go even a step further. And 94 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is controversial per se to say, 95 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: but darn it, we're here. 96 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 2: I'm going to do it anyway. 97 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: When the Rob Reiner posts came out for President Trump 98 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: after Rob Reiner was horrifically killed by likely his son, 99 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: I only say likely because that court case isn't over yet, 100 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: but likely killed his own son in a you know, 101 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: horrible way. And then Trump's post comes out, and it 102 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: does at the beginning, I'm going to put this out 103 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: there too, at the beginning and the end of the post, it. 104 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 2: Does say it's tragic or horrible. 105 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: But then the whole middle is a person who's very 106 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: you know, very much not happy with the individual that 107 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: Rob Reiner was when he was alive, very much showing 108 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: his dislike of that person. A most of media, even 109 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: a lot of conservative outlet's, attack Trump for this. They 110 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: said that it looked bad. And I'll be honest, it's 111 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: not the kind of thing I would do. I would not, 112 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: I think, attack someone who is just killed. However, if 113 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: you're trying to humanize people and not think of all 114 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: of the individuals in society as different than us, like 115 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: they're all just people too, even President Trump, then the 116 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: amount of anger that Trump specifically had for Reiner could 117 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: start to make a little more sense. 118 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 2: Now. 119 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: Granted, I think even Joe Rogan, who is the one 120 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: who put up the Stephen A. Smith audio, but that's 121 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: why I mentioned Rogan. Even Joe Rogan has said recently 122 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: that it's just a bad look. It's just not what 123 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: in empathetic society should look like to attack somebody after 124 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: they've been murdered. And I get it, I understand the position. 125 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: But if we're just being people, like the amount of 126 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: people who wake up every day and just hate Trump 127 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: to a degree that's sort of amazing, and they hate 128 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: him regardless of what he does, regardless of what he says. 129 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: If they think that there's something he said or done 130 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: that means that their hate is justified, it's long over 131 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: and they definitely don't care anymore about what he says 132 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: or does. And some of these people are important, Some 133 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: of these people have, you know, platforms of their own 134 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: or followings, or you know, money to donate to campaigns. 135 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: All of those things are things that you deal with 136 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: as the person in a position of power. And I'm 137 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: not trying to make the Trump the victim here. That's 138 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: not the intention of this, although I'm sure that in 139 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: his own mind he might see that at times being 140 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: a thing that's true. But what I think is really 141 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: interesting about that is that again, you're just a person. 142 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: You're just a people, which is the way that i'd 143 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: say it to my wife. She likes to say it 144 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,799 Speaker 1: that way. So you're just somebody out there in society 145 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: that's that's living a certain way. And and here, I 146 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: guess is the spin of this. And this might not matter. 147 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: It's the holidays, this is an older story. I couldn't 148 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: help feeling it connected out of this segment that I'm 149 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: talking about now. And I know I've mentioned Charlie Kirk 150 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: a lot on this show, more so than I think 151 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: I've mentioned even filling in for Tony Katz over. 152 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 2: The last few days. 153 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: But I will say that that The Vitriolic responds to 154 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: the murder of Charlie Kirk by everyday people, just a 155 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: ton of people who might have felt as though they 156 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: had every right to be mad at Charlie. Showed me 157 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: more about society than the way that one person, no 158 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: matter how important that person in society is, even if 159 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: it's the president, reacts to the death of someone else, 160 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: because it was not all of conservative media or a 161 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: bunch of conservative seeming people that are online, you know, 162 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: a loud people that were celebrating the death of Rob 163 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: Bryan or I'm certainly not celebrating the death of that 164 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: person whatsoever, or saying that it's deserved or any of 165 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: that crap. And so that to me was the bigger 166 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: takeaway is that when you look at the totality of 167 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: the response to something and you see one version of 168 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: it and a different version of it. And I think 169 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,119 Speaker 1: that's the biggest mistake people make in politics right now. 170 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: And I mean this about the left more than anybody else. 171 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: And I have a bunch of people that are still 172 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: friends of mine that I see they're crazy posts about 173 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: Trump all the time. I think the left looks for 174 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: a way to blame voters for the behavior of President Trump. 175 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: Whatever Trump does, the people that are angry at him, 176 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: they want to also be angry at Maga or whatever 177 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: they call it whatever the thing is out there that 178 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: they think is bad, and so the behavior of one 179 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: becomes the assumed behavior of all. And granted, a whole 180 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: lot of people might agree with the stuff he does 181 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: or the way he acts, or not care about it, whatever, 182 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: and that's totally fine. I get that. 183 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 2: I understand that. 184 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: But by and large, when I'm talking to someone who 185 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: tells me how awful this behavior is, it's Trump's behavior, 186 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: and they want to put it on the feet of 187 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: other people. When you do it the opposite way, it's 188 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: usually the behavior of mass media or social media and 189 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: the way that they censored certain things. It's usually a 190 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: whole lot of not famous voices that are collectively saying 191 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 1: a thing. It's the hive mind that comes out, the 192 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: mind virus, as I think Elon Musk has called it. 193 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: That's interesting to me because one of them is a 194 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: reflection of a totality of people, or at least a 195 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: subset of a larger group, and one's just one person. 196 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: So why do we so often talk about the behavior 197 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: of one person as if it's a reflection of all 198 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: the people who voted for that individual, bad or good. 199 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 2: I'm not trying to crap on Trump in this segment. 200 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 2: That's not the point. 201 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: I'm actually not even really trying on purpose to give 202 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: a lot of my opinions of a lot of this. 203 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: But truthfully, the reason why I think it's interesting is 204 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: that so very often I feel as though I'm put 205 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: in a position with friends of mine on the other side, 206 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: to defend the behavior of one person as opposed to 207 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: when I ask a question, it's really the behavior of 208 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: tons of people who all seem to think that they 209 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: have the right to behave the way they do, and 210 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: that seems bad. All right, we'll take a break on that. 211 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: We'll come back and talk about some more fun stuff. 212 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: I didn't mean to get a deep dive philosophical on 213 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: the show. If that's even what we just did there, 214 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: I just can't help it. It's the holidays. I feel 215 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: like there's only so much news that you want to 216 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: hear about, and only so much news I want to 217 00:09:59,320 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: talk about. 218 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 2: So who knows. We'll do more of this, but we'll 219 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 2: keep you informed in everything. 220 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: I will talk about Ukraine and the United States and Russia, 221 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: because that's a big story that's out there. I will 222 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: keep you informed in everything. I will also have some 223 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: fun in just a bit. This is Craig Collins filling 224 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: in on Kendall and Casey ninety three WIBC. This is 225 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: the Kendall and Casey Show. My name is Craig Collins, 226 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of 227 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: stuff out there to talk about. I did see something 228 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: that I thought was kind of interesting, and I wonder 229 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: how much of this is actually just because of the 230 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: way that social media works today. But there are studies 231 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: that found that gen Z specifically is not a big 232 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: on alcohol. They're drinking less and less alcohol in general. 233 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: They're partying differently than say, generations before them partied. My generation, 234 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,719 Speaker 1: I am a millennial, definitely partied the same way as 235 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: generations before us, and gen Z, for the most part, 236 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: seems to be less interested in booze than the ones 237 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: before it. But here's the Caveat at least according to 238 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: social profiler dot com, they are turning toward looking at 239 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: more salacious content online even at work. The not safe 240 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: for work content is what they call it. Whether this 241 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: is just stuff that's on social media where someone posts 242 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: something provocative and then somebody else interacts with it. 243 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 2: And I think this is funny too. 244 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: And this is a side study that's sort of tangentially 245 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: connected to this one. There's a lot of people that 246 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: say that many women interact with inappropriate photos of other 247 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: women online. 248 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:31,719 Speaker 2: And I have a theory. 249 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: As to why that is by the way that it's 250 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: women who are responding to like the bikini picture of 251 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: their friend and not dudes that are going by and 252 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,599 Speaker 1: large and responding to that. Because that was part of 253 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: the study. Is it said that men are not engaging 254 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: as much in this material in a way that they 255 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: could check and study and understand meaning publicly, as women 256 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 1: seem to be. And they thought that was interesting that 257 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: this generation seems less concerned with you know, quote not 258 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: safe for work stuff than they are with going out 259 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: and drinking. And I think Kylan is gen z. I 260 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: don't know if you want to weigh in on this 261 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: topic at all before I give you my theory as 262 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: to why they studied this and saw that more women 263 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: interact to the thirst trap photo of a friend online 264 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: than men do. 265 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 2: But the overarching message the lack of alcohol. 266 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 1: And the not being as you know, ashamed of interacting 267 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: with social media content that might be more salacious in nature, 268 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: even while at work. 269 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 4: I am gen Z, but I'm curious to hear about 270 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 4: your theory on this. 271 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 2: I would like to Yeah, let's get into fine, I'll 272 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 2: do the theory. 273 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: I think that the guys aren't interacting publicly because they 274 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: know they're going to get in trouble. I don't think 275 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: that they're not paying attention. I think that by and large, 276 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: if you have a you know, social media page that's 277 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: you showing off how attractive you are to society, a 278 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: whole lot of dudes are aware of it, you know. 279 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: Like I think they even say that a lot of 280 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: the influencers that are just like young attractive women joke 281 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: that their audience is predominantly met, which makes sense again 282 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: because it's just a different version of the same thing 283 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: we've seen before. But if you're someone studying it and 284 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: looking for who's liking and commenting on stuff, I think 285 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: it's much safer if it's female friends than if it's 286 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: a dude. I think that the dudes are going to 287 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: shy away from that. I would be curious to study 288 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,079 Speaker 1: the amount of private messages that come into these accounts 289 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: and who those people are, if they're guys or women, 290 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: because I think you'd get a very different sense of 291 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: the attention and who's responding to it, if you could 292 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: see an extra layer that the study couldn't see. But 293 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: the study was saying that men buy and large or 294 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: not really commenting on this stuff. That it's women who 295 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: are doing it. And I think that that's the old 296 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: you go girl, I support you thing that seems more 297 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: appropriate in the internet society we have than a bunch 298 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: of dudes doing it. That's my theory is that the 299 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: study didn't actually reflect the amount of people paying attention, 300 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: just the amount of people publicly willing to demonstrate that 301 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: they were interested in something. 302 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 4: I love this that we just have a whole bunch 303 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 4: of girls, girls out there. 304 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: Well that's the only thing that's allowed right now. I'm kidding. 305 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: I know everybody listening who thinks this is all dumb, 306 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 1: is like, you don't have to follow whatever rules people make. 307 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 2: That's true, you don't. It's fine. 308 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: But Matt Baher has joked a lot about when he 309 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: goes to the gym and how he has to stare 310 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: at the ceiling, as do I whenever I go to 311 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: that place, because you don't want someone mad at you. 312 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: You don't want someone to think you looked at them 313 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: and then get mad at you. I think social media 314 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: is the same thing. Like, if you're a dude out 315 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: there commenting, I'm gonna all right, I'm going to tell 316 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: you something. And I shouldn't do this, but I'm gonna 317 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: do it anyway because I think it's funny. I work 318 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: at a different place in radio, it's not WIBC, and 319 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: I went to work and a co worker who's a 320 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: little bit older than me and a guy had left 321 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: their Facebook open on the computer and I didn't look 322 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: at it. I wasn't like trying to. I was gonna 323 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: log out of it. But the post he left up 324 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: was him definitely hitting on a woman on the comment section, 325 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: like he said something about how good they looked and whatever. 326 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: And my first reaction was to be like, ah, man, 327 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: that's not going to go well for you. 328 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 2: Like the first thing I thought was this is going to. 329 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: Be a swing and a misattempt at trying to pick 330 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: up a woman on the internet because it's in public, 331 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: it's a comment under the thing, And yeah, I don't 332 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: think he's actually going to wind up meeting this young 333 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: woman that he was commenting on. I think that's the 334 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: society we live in now is people see those things 335 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: and think of them as not necessarily, you know, the 336 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: right way to go about connecting with a human. 337 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 2: You don't know. 338 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: I'm being very nice about how I'm discussing this, and 339 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: so yeah, I saw that, and I was like, dude, 340 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: this is a guy who obviously is of a different 341 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: generation and hoping this works, and it's probably not going 342 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: to work. 343 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 4: No, I would agree with that. 344 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 2: No notes, No notes, I don't think. Okay, do you 345 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 2: think that that's true? 346 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 4: Though? 347 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: Also, do you feel like, as a friend of somebody 348 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: if they're posting something out there for whatever reason, Like 349 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: maybe they don't post this stuff all the time, but 350 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: maybe your female friend who buy and large has a 351 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: regular social media page, has thrown up the bikini photo 352 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: because they've been in the gym or something. As a 353 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: female friend of this person in a supportive way, do 354 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: you kind of feel a pressure to comment and be like, 355 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: way to go, this looks great? 356 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 2: Yeah you go girl. 357 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: Okay, See, I thought that guys do not feel that pressure. 358 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: We feel the exact opposite version of I really shouldn't 359 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: comment on this one. I need to go find the 360 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: artistic photo of her where she's not wearing a bathing suit, 361 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: and it's really more of a focus on a painting 362 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: or something and tell her how great that looks, and 363 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: hope for the best there instead of the one where 364 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: she's the ki I think SNL has made fun of 365 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: this too, by the way, I think I just described 366 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: an SNL bit, But anyway, I just thought that was 367 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: so funny. Is that again people were talking about the 368 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: difference in society now for men and women, and I 369 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: would really like to know the behind the scenes. I 370 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: think that, and probably not in a good way. There's 371 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: going to be a whole lot of direct messages coming 372 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: in from people that are not women saying things to 373 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: some of these young influencers that are out there in 374 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: the world. 375 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 2: All Right, I'll shift gears. 376 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: There's one other thing out there that I saw that 377 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: I thought was interesting, and this is actually also sillacious 378 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: in nature. I didn't do this on purpose, Kylon. These 379 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: are the topics I found. These are the things I found. 380 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: Apparently some people are creating what they think is a 381 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: more attractive Santa. 382 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 2: I don't know how I'm gona talk about this is 383 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 2: on the New York Post. 384 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: It is a holiday thing where someone would like to, 385 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 1: you know, dress like Santa Claus, but do it in 386 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: a fancier way to where you actually look good. There 387 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: are guys who have like red suits on that aren't 388 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: the typical Santa suit with Italian stuff. And apparently this 389 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: is a thing that guys on social media are trying 390 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: to make Santa a more attractive dude but also look 391 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 1: like Santa, and women are responding well to the attempt 392 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: to make Sannah more modely and less like you know, 393 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: big jolly fat guy. I don't know what you think 394 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: of this topic, but my complaint, and my complaint is 395 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: the same all the time with this stuff, is you 396 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: don't need to go these roads. Man Like, Halloween ruins 397 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: a lot of characters that are not inherently attractive that 398 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: then Halloween tries to make attractive, Like the person who 399 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 1: goes out dressed a SpongeBob SquarePants and wants SpongeBob to 400 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 1: be a hot lady. 401 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 2: That does not make sense to me. That is not 402 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 2: a good move. 403 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: The same feels true here that anyone who's trying to 404 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: create a more attractive version of Santa is missing the 405 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: point of Santa Claus entirely. He does not need to 406 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: be an attractive dude. He needs to be a jolly 407 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: older guy with a big, big belly who I wind 408 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: up wanting presents from. 409 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 2: That's exactly what it is. It doesn't have to be 410 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 2: anything else. You want to comment on this one or 411 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 2: do you want to take the fifth. 412 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 4: There absolutely is an audience for it. I'm not there, 413 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 4: but I've seen so many things about events for like 414 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 4: Magic Mike, Santa Night type of things. 415 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 2: Yet yeah, the whole thing. Yeah, yeah, it's weird. Yeah, okay, good. 416 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: I'm glad that you're not going to pretend this isn't real, 417 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: because apparently the New York Post is saying it's real 418 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: and you've seen it too, So yes, it's odd. I 419 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: don't know why people want to do this. Maybe it's 420 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: a challenge of it. Like I kind of think this 421 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: is going to be an overly nice way to describe this. 422 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 1: Artistic people like to do artistically challenging things. I know 423 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: that for a fact as someone who I think is 424 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: at times artistic. And so maybe somebody somewhere is sitting 425 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 1: in the corner of a room planning their next show 426 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: and saying to themselves, you know, it would be really 427 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: tough to make Sanna somebody who's hot, and then they 428 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: try to do that, They try to make that show 429 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: and have an audience that goes to it and responds 430 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: well to it, because it's artistically more challenging than making 431 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: someone that's you know, not traditionally thought of as attractive hot. 432 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: This is the same thing I think I see on 433 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: Halloween when I see young women dressed as stuff that 434 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: shouldn't be hot, like hot SpongeBob and hot Patrick, and 435 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: yet they tried to turn it into something that's attractive. 436 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 2: It just confuses me. The male brain is simplistic. 437 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: It just makes it odd and confusing to see that 438 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: stuff out there and wonder why I now have to have, 439 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: you know, a competing thought in my brain about something 440 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: that I thought was very easy out there. 441 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 2: Anything else you want to say about this or no. 442 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 4: I think you put it pretty pretty plainly simplicity, right. 443 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 2: Beg you beg you Kylin. You're like, yeah, let's move on, 444 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 2: let's change the topic. We'll take a break, we'll do 445 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 2: more things in just a bit. 446 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: I love running out of time on adult topic segments 447 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: because then we can't even blame me. We just have 448 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: to blame the fact that we're stopping now on the commercial, 449 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: but we'll be back in a bit. This is Craig 450 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: Collins filling in on Kendall and Casey ninety three WIBC. 451 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: This is the Kendall in Casey Show, ninety three WIBC. 452 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Just a quick 453 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: sweep of some of the bigger things out there in 454 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,719 Speaker 1: the news. President Trump sat down with Vladimir's Lensky and 455 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: it seems like things went very well. It seems as 456 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 1: though they're sit down in Florida. By and large, has 457 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: the United States and Ukraine in the same place, with 458 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: the same objective and ending a four year war between 459 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: Russia and Ukraine that Russia started, Russia invaded them, all 460 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: those things, and you've definitely heard in the station. And 461 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 1: I continue to praise Tony Katz. I'm not trying to. 462 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 2: I know that's not his show, the one I'm doing 463 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 2: right now. 464 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: But he's done a really great job of talking about 465 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: this issue, and I think helping people understand that Ukraine 466 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: was going to wind up giving things up in some 467 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: sort of peace deal because no one else was going 468 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,199 Speaker 1: to put boots on the ground and fight, not that 469 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: I think it's a good idea, And I don't mean 470 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: to speak for Tony, but I think I get the 471 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 1: sense that he didn't think it was a good idea either. 472 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 2: But if you actually. 473 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: Wanted to defeat Russia in a way that would have 474 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,719 Speaker 1: benefited Ukraine, you would have had to help them with 475 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: military bodies, not just military equipment. And so I do 476 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: think it's really interesting that, even though people are upset, 477 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: that that's the likely scenario here, that it's going to happen. 478 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: There is also the US's offer for a fifteen year 479 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: security guarantee as part of a peace plan. It does 480 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: have an expiration date, but it would be an amount 481 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 1: of time in which, once everything is parsed out, once 482 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: all the different pieces are agreed to, if Russia does 483 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: something to be provocative, the United States would have an 484 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: in simply, you know, obvious, in writing black and white 485 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: way in which they would respond with more strength, respond 486 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: beyond the way of sending just weapons and things to Ukraine. 487 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: So that feels as though it's the path that Ukraine 488 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: most wants. If they give in, they want to make 489 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: sure that there is a protection for whatever is left, 490 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: which would be a significant part of the country. Of course, 491 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 1: the only things that are really being discussed to give 492 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: away are things that were long contested areas like the 493 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: Donbas region. Anyone that doesn't know much about that area, 494 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: and you probably know a lot more over the last 495 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: few years than you might have known before it. There 496 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 1: were areas that were essentially having a proxy war where 497 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: Russia would be supporting a force that wasn't necessarily its 498 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: military but behaved like it against Ukraine in these long 499 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 1: contested areas. 500 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 2: Now it seems that some of. 501 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: Those areas, most of those areas would probably be surrendered 502 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: to Russia and then the rest of Ukraine would stay 503 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 1: the way it is. But anyway, that's a big story 504 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: that's out there news. Winter storms are a big story 505 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: throughout the country on the East coast and of course 506 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis, where things are getting colder and crazier very quickly. 507 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: It's just I'll say this, it's mean. I don't know 508 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 1: how to say that differently. I remember all the time 509 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: making jokes about that, my wife making jokes about that 510 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: that like mother Nature is mean, or whoever you want 511 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: to call it. Is to have like a really nice 512 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: Christmas and then have immediately terrible weather after Christmas. It's 513 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: the inverse of what you want. You want the winter 514 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: day to happen on Christmas Day, and then when you 515 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: get tempted by the oh my god, it's so lovely outside, 516 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: it's so fancy and nice, or at least it's not miserable. 517 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: If it's not quite as warm in some places as others, 518 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: at least it's not you know, freezing and terrible, and 519 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you go right back to 520 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 1: getting kicked in the teeth. That is the hardest thing 521 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: about living in the Midwest is the fluctuation of weather. 522 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: That one day it'll be sixty, the next day it'll 523 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: be negative tent and you just have to live with that. 524 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: I do think that that's something that's out there, and 525 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: I think that that stinks, and it's been that way 526 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 1: for a very long time. This is not a version 527 00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: of me talking about any changes in climate in our society. 528 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 1: That's not the point, and I love when people do that. 529 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: By the way, I think I've talked about this before. 530 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's here, but I have mentioned 531 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,719 Speaker 1: before how entertained I am when people tell me that 532 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 1: like shockingly good weather is an indication that climate change 533 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,199 Speaker 1: is a horrible problem in our society because I like 534 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: to do the opposite. I want to be the person 535 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: that's fear mongering about, you know, the cold snap that's 536 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: tending us back into the dark ages of you know, 537 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: all the things that happened when everything was frozen in 538 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: the world, because that never happens. Man, whenever we have 539 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 1: a uniquely cold day in the middle of the summer 540 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: or some other time. These same people that are out 541 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: there screaming about how bad things are don't do the opposite. 542 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 2: And I think they. 543 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: Should just at least do that because it entertained me more. 544 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: It makes more fun for me. And I'm a millennial. 545 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: I'm someone who grew up being taught about climate change 546 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 1: in school. I'm not necessarily trying to tell you that 547 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: none of it exists, but I think the version of 548 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 1: it that people talk about is overly dramaticized and crazy, 549 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: and it winds up being not true all the time. 550 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: The projections are always wrong. And even more than that, 551 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: the solution to any of this is not to give 552 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: the government a bunch of money, because if we're learning 553 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: anything in Minnesota or elsewhere, it's if you want to 554 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: fix a problem. The last thing you should do is 555 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: give a whole bunch more money to the government is 556 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: they'll make it worse, not better, and they'll lose a 557 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: lot of the money and steal a lot of the 558 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: money along the way. But anyway, let's move on to 559 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: other things out there. I thought this was interesting. The 560 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: economy doing pretty well according to many people. The CEO 561 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: of Bank of America popped up on face the nation 562 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: to say that there's three different things that he pays 563 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 1: attention to, and all of those seem to be trending 564 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 1: in the right direction. Whether or not you feel it 565 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: right now is probably unlikely to be true. And I 566 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 1: think mostly because of the time of year. To be honest, 567 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: there were times during the Biden administration where they said 568 00:25:55,320 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: that the inflation of certain things was transitory. They were 569 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: wrong about all that. The high prices that we were 570 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: paying on stuff never went the other way, never went back. 571 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: It was horrible and terrible and a tremendous failure of 572 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 1: the Biden administration to have things get so expensive so quickly, 573 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: and probably a byproduct of a war on oil and 574 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: gas and energy that makes things as expensive as they are. 575 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: But what's interesting to me is that right now is 576 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: the time of year where people spend way more money 577 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: than they have, regardless of how well the economy is doing. 578 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: Most people choose to overspend on the holidays for the 579 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 1: loved ones, for their friends, for whoever they think that 580 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,400 Speaker 1: they need to get stuff for. So it's a very 581 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: difficult time to say, hey, things are going better than 582 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: I thought, because you're more likely to be cash strapped 583 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: now than at any other time during the year. 584 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 2: But here I'll play the audio of the CEO. 585 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: Of Bank of America saying to him things are going well, 586 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: and the economy itself was doing better than people expected. 587 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: I think a full point in Q three more than 588 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: expected for the amount of growth and the amount of 589 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: spending that we're seeing. And again that might be partially 590 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 1: a byproduct of what I'm saying about the time of 591 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: year it is. 592 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 2: But hey, good news is good news. But here we go. 593 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 3: Is that still though stilted towards the upper income bracte? 594 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 2: Is it that K shaped economy? 595 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 5: Some people, Yeah, talk about our team. It looks at this, Yes, 596 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 5: it's the growth freight difference is higher, but all the 597 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 5: all the third or third or third all three thirds 598 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 5: are growing and so continue. And that's been continuous, and 599 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 5: so that that's the question. They grow at different rates, 600 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 5: but they're all growing, which all means are putting more 601 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 5: money the economy they did this time last year. 602 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 2: All right, that's good. 603 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 1: He's saying again that the people at the top are 604 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,199 Speaker 1: making more money that their income. 605 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 2: There. 606 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: You know, financial successes is going a certain direction. But 607 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: and K shaped is an interesting term for it, when 608 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: really the Bank of America is saying more E shaped. 609 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: He's saying more every single layer is doing well, not 610 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: the middle layer is doing poorly, which is used what 611 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: the people unfaced the nation. I want to tell you, 612 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: whether you believe that or not, whether you experience that 613 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: or not, it seems to be the underlying truth. 614 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 2: Also, I thought this was interesting. 615 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 1: This is Scott Jennings talking about the success that existed 616 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: within the economy and then also talking about the success 617 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: that's existed within immigration. And I know there are people 618 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: that think that Trump is going way too far, doing 619 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: way too much as far as the amount of people 620 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: that are here illegally that are not going to be 621 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: allowed to stay. But this was a campaign promise that 622 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: he made. He said that he would fix this and 623 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 1: it got tremendously worse under Biden. It got so bad, 624 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: And this is always sort of the barometer for me 625 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: that I think is interesting that the South Side of 626 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: Chicago overwhelmingly liberal, overwhelmingly minorities, mostly black people who live 627 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: in the South Side of Chicago. They were complaining that 628 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: they thought the immigration system was broken and too much 629 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: money was going to communities. 630 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 2: That weren't theirs, and how unfair it was. 631 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,239 Speaker 1: And that's a group of people that overwhelmingly vote, you know, 632 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: democratic politicians into positions of power, whether it's mayors in Chicago, presidents, 633 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: what have you. They were likely to be turning on 634 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: the people that you know they typically vote for because 635 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: they're upset that things are going in the direction they're going. So, 636 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: how do you fix something that gets that broken disproportionately? 637 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: How do you seesaw it back the other way? You 638 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: do what Trump is doing. You might have to significantly 639 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: change the amount of people who are currently here and 640 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: do it in a way where even a lot of 641 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: mainstream media outlets and others complain that like you're ripping 642 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: mothers from their families, even though buy and large it's 643 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: not actually true. But I think that this is the 644 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: way you respond to someone doing what Biden did while 645 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: he was in office. But here's Jennings talking about it 646 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: and how it is also simply a campaign promise that's 647 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: been fulfilled. 648 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 6: Well, look, I think on the immigration piece, it's been 649 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 6: as big as success this year. It's the biggest promise fulfilled. 650 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 6: We've had two and a half million people deported. A 651 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 6: significant number of the more self deported, you know, they 652 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 6: use the government's app or just decided to leave the 653 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 6: country altogether. 654 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: And by the way, he says, the significant number one 655 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: point nine million of the two point five million people 656 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: left on their own, they left with cash in their hands. 657 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,479 Speaker 1: I think they get three thousand right now. They were 658 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: getting a thousand before it. So a vast majority of 659 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: the people, eighty percent of the individuals who've left this 660 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: country during this term in office so far for the president, 661 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: have done so of their own choosing. That feels important 662 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: to mention too, to the people who are saying, you 663 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: know that ICE is this horrible organization that's ruining lives 664 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: and families throughout the country that feels disconnected from the 665 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: simple stat here we're going. 666 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 6: So when I talked to Republicans and Trump supporters around 667 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 6: the country. They're more than thrilled with the aggressive nature 668 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 6: of it. You know, we haven't passed any new immigration 669 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 6: laws since Donald Trump became the president. Again, we're just 670 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 6: enforcing the laws that we have, something the previous administration 671 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 6: would not do. So I know the left is treated 672 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 6: this as some big controversy, but I don't know what's 673 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 6: controversial about the president just simply enforcing the laws that 674 00:30:59,280 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 6: are on the books. 675 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what it's controversial about that either, Scott. 676 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: And even more important than that, and this is what 677 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: I think is really interesting is is Trump is not 678 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: alone as far as a president who has deported people. 679 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: Outside of Biden, You've seen deportations and quite a few 680 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: of them in other administrations. Even the Obama administration had 681 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: deported a lot of people. And how dare they do that? 682 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: I was not, for some reason, the reaction of mainstream media. 683 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: It's just this time around, because you don't want any 684 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: success to be success. You want everything to be a failure, 685 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: one way or another, whatever it might be. That to 686 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: me is essentially the way that mainstream media wakes up 687 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: in the morning and decides they're going to cover Trump 688 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: is that it has to be bad. 689 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 2: It has to be terrible. 690 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: We have to find out how, and mostly it has 691 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: to be just identity terrible. It has to be identity politics. 692 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: He's a bad person. He's racist, he's sexist, he's something 693 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: as opposed to you know, he's simply now enforcing a 694 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: law that did exist before and the previous administration didn't 695 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 1: want to enforce for a bunch of political reasons. All right, Well, 696 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: take a break. A lot coming up. Greg Collins filling 697 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 1: in ending Casey ninety three WYBC. This is the Kendall 698 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: and Casey Show on ninety three WIBC. My name is 699 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be with you. Producer 700 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: Kylon is hanging out as well on special assignment. I 701 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: do like these stories when they come out, mostly because 702 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: it just means I feel smart, So that's always good. 703 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 2: I think that's always a good thing. 704 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: But apparently New York City teachers discovered the young people 705 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: teenagers can't read clocks. The reason that they discovered this 706 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: is they took away cell phones and then the kids 707 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: had no idea what time it was. 708 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 2: I imagine this might be. 709 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: A bit of an exaggeration. Although it might also be true. 710 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: But if you have like a clock in the back 711 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: of the room on the wall, the way that everybody 712 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: remembers in school, looking up at that thing and hoping 713 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 1: for it to go faster so you get to leave 714 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: and go home from school, Apparently the kids now have 715 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: no idea what's going on is they can't see the 716 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: digital version on their phone if it's in a bin 717 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: somewhere in the front of the room. I was just 718 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: very upsetic, apparently for the kids. But I find this 719 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: uniquely hilarious and also terrible. If you're in a school 720 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: system and you notice the children can't read a clock, 721 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: I feel like you take a whole day you teach 722 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 1: them that that's a life skill that they need. I 723 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 1: go ahead and throw out the math itinerary for the day, 724 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: and let's just do clocks until we get past that topic, 725 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: and then we'll go on to other things. 726 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 2: I don't think schools do that enough. 727 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: If you notice a problem that's very basic with a 728 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: large amount of the people in the school, let's go 729 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: ahead and switch the curriculum for twenty four hours to 730 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: get through that roadblock. We also need to bring back 731 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: things like shop class. I think the kids know how 732 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: to make stuff. But Kylin, did you want to weigh 733 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: in on the teenagers don't know how to read clock story? 734 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 2: I would absolutely believe it. 735 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 4: I had problems reading the clock growing up, and I 736 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 4: was taught it during school, So like them, not even 737 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 4: learning it is absolutely believable. 738 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they. 739 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 4: I think it's also fine if you feel like you 740 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 4: need to be smarter, if you ever want like a 741 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 4: little confidence booster, sure, just remember that I went through 742 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 4: school without AI, without AI doing it working, I say, you, yep. 743 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,319 Speaker 1: Anything, Yes, I know, I'm aware of this. I went 744 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: through a school without a whole lot of that existing 745 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: at all. AI couldn't do anything for me, and not 746 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: even just AI, there were even other cheats that didn't exist. 747 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,919 Speaker 1: The best thing I had was spark notes. I don't 748 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: know if you even know what that is. 749 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 2: Do you know what that is? 750 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 5: Oh? 751 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, spark notes. Yeah okay, good, I didn't know. 752 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,959 Speaker 1: I don't know who knows what that is. Spark Notes 753 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: was when you could not read a book, but you 754 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 1: could read the abridged version in the highlights of the 755 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 1: book online on a specific website and then feel like 756 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: you kind of knew what it was My favorite as 757 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 1: far as the way cheating used to work in college, 758 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: and I didn't do this, but it did happen, is 759 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: when someone noticed that you copy and pasted something out 760 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: of Wikipedia and then put it into your paper, and 761 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:45,839 Speaker 1: then you got in trouble for it. 762 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 2: I had a buddy that did that. 763 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 1: Multiple times, and every time it failed because it was 764 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: way too easy to check in on why that was 765 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: a thing he was doing. And I love the fact 766 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: that every time it happened, he was still mystified. 767 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:58,399 Speaker 2: He's like, I don't know how they figured it out. 768 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 1: I only took that one paragraph entirely from Wikipedia, but 769 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: that was our version of AI, the Internet version of 770 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: the Encyclopedia. I was the closest we got. But now 771 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: everybody writes, you know, my mom's a teacher. I don't 772 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,720 Speaker 1: know if I've mentioned this before. She's mostly a guidance counselor, 773 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: but she actually teaches classes too, from college courses and 774 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 1: whatnot in Indiana. Actually is where she lives. I don't 775 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:20,799 Speaker 1: want to say where because she always gets mad at 776 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: me want to do that. But anyway, she uses AI 777 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 1: to grade papers. She's told me this before, and her 778 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: favorite part of AI helping her grade the paper. Is 779 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: it identifies if it's if it's grading other AI. 780 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,280 Speaker 2: It tries to tell. It's like, we think this is AI. 781 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: You don't know for sure, but apparently it's competing against itself, 782 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 1: you know, where the one AI writes the thing and 783 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 1: the other AI decides if it's a real thing or 784 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: if it's actually artificial intelligence that wrote it. 785 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 4: My sister is a ghost copywriter and has to do 786 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 4: similar fantastic where she ghost writes for whatever the assignment is. 787 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and for turning it in, she has to 788 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 4: put it through this AI tester so they know that 789 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,919 Speaker 4: she didn't use AI. And when she puts it through, 790 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 4: even though she wrote all of it, she puts it 791 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,240 Speaker 4: through and then has to rewrite everything because they believe 792 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 4: it's AI because wow, how it was done. 793 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pros and cons. 794 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 4: You know. 795 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 2: I wonder. 796 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,839 Speaker 1: I wonder because here let's do something that's a little 797 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: bit liberal in nature, where you blame somebody for something. 798 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,359 Speaker 1: I wonder if the robots are being humanists, if they 799 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 1: think that we're too smart and so then they say, 800 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: now this's got to be us. This has got to 801 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: be computers and not humans. And so then they claim 802 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 1: that it's AI when it's just a smart human that's 803 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 1: doing a thing. 804 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 2: I think that's what it is. 805 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 1: I think it's it's human racism by the computers that 806 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:36,439 Speaker 1: are out there. 807 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,800 Speaker 2: In the world. I love that. I'm definitely kidding. I 808 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 2: don't know where we've gotten. Yeah, tongue in cheek saying that, 809 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 2: by the way, but. 810 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 4: We need to bring back the life skills classes like 811 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 4: you said, like shop class, you're cooking and you're sewing 812 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 4: all of it. 813 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,280 Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah, No, I think a great day in school 814 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,439 Speaker 1: would be like just to puncture somebody's tire and see 815 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 1: what happens. Like all the kids get to school and 816 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 1: then you pop a tire. Maybe you have the spare 817 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 1: ready and you're like, children, fix this, and if they 818 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 1: can't do it, that's bad. 819 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 2: We got to do other things. Do you know how 820 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 2: to change a tire on a car? 821 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 4: I sure do, Okay, I learned that dad. Yep, my 822 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 4: dad had a flat when I was in the car 823 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,360 Speaker 4: with him. So he's like, all right, learning lesson, let's. 824 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 2: Go come on out. You know what's funny about this? 825 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 2: I don't. 826 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to break bad on the missus I 827 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: love my wife. She's awesome, she's amazing. She's from Mexico. 828 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 1: In Mexico, just like in New Jersey where I was born, 829 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 1: you don't pump your own gas. That people pump it 830 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 1: for you. You pull up, they do everything, You do nothing. 831 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 1: And so my wife, even though she definitely knows how 832 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 1: to do it now and it's not that hard, still 833 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,319 Speaker 1: freaks out every time she pulls up at the gas 834 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 1: station to pump the gas and then makes me go 835 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 1: with her and do it for her because she thinks 836 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: she's gonna do something wrong. She thinks the gas is 837 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 1: gonna spill all over the place. 838 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 2: I love that. 839 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: I think that's hilarious and also a way for me 840 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: to be a man that saves the day, which is 841 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: something that most men want to be. I think quite 842 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: often we need to be called in to save the 843 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 1: day in any situation. If you have a can that's 844 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,239 Speaker 1: too tight and I need to open it instead of you, 845 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 1: I feel like a a spartan for the rest of 846 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 1: the day because I open that can. The same is 847 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 1: true when I pump her gas. But I just love 848 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 1: the fact that it's just it's a life thing. She 849 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,279 Speaker 1: didn't experience it where she was all right. I think 850 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,439 Speaker 1: I did that nicely. We'll take a break. More coming 851 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 1: up in a bit. Craig Collin's filling in on the 852 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:18,399 Speaker 1: Kendall and Casey Show.
