35
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: Saturday morning to start this Saturday morning edition on seven

36
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: hundred WLW not I the Internet of Things world is

37
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: the world we live in. And this morning I became

38
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: very distressed. Right at the beginning of the show. I

39
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: tried to cover it up with music, and that's what

40
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: I did basicly, but my computer wouldn't work. My mouse

41
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't work. I brought Liam in here. He couldn't get

42
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: it to work properly either, So I can you read

43
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: stuff on my computer and bring people up on the telephones?

44
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: I need my mouse to work. I mean, Liam can

45
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: do all of that. But yet I feel, because I

46
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: am a control freak ultimately that I need to have

47
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: total control of the show except things like answering the phones,

48
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: which Liam does very well, and read the sports, which

49
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: Liam is much more than adequate at at this point.

50
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: But I couldn't get the mouse to work properly and

51
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: in my room, and then I realized the mouse was

52
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: upside down, so I just turned it the other way

53
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: and now it works perfectly. Well, I'm a genius. Good morning, Lynnette.

135
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: I told my wife the truth. I told her I

136
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: was seeing a psychiatrist, and then she told me the

137
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: truth that she was seeing a psychiatrist. Two plumbers and

138
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: a bartender.

139
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 12: Jokes told by Dave from Harrison are not necessarily considered

140
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 12: funny by the staff, management or advertisers of seven hundred

141
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 12: WLW or his parent company, iHeartMedia. If these attempts at

142
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 12: humor have caused you to roll your eyes, made your

143
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 12: stomach churn, or you have considered the entire exercise to

144
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 12: be a colossal waste of time, we deeply apologize. Now

145
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 12: back to our irregular programming.

146
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: My friend, who I think is listening in right now.

147
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: His name's Art and Bolo. He's also known as Radio's

148
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: best Friend, has been bugging me for a picture of

149
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: me and Liam together. For what purpose?

150
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 10: I have no idea.

151
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: Art's kind of a different guy, but it kind of

152
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: reminds me of the the Robin Williams movie Good Morning Vietnam,

153
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: where the Vietnamese bartender or bar owner is always asking

154
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: him for naked pictures of Walter Brennan. It kind of

155
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: reminds me of that. So Art, Liam's in the studio

156
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: right now and figured we just go ahead and get

157
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: it done because he bugged me again this morning. Liam

158
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: all right, uh que, there you go, you look less

159
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: like a hostage. Now here we go, picture made. It'll

160
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: be sent forthwith Art. Thank you, Liam, appreciate that. And

161
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: now that we've got that little piece of business taken

162
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: care of. Let's talk to mister Washburn all radio. Rick,

163
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: good morning, how are you receiving us?

164
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 13: I'm sorry, I'm distracted thinking of the old George Carlon

165
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 13: routine of somebody broke into my house and stole my

166
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 13: nude pictures of Ernest bordnine.

167
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: Who doesn't Who doesn't have nude pictures of Ernest borgnine?

168
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 10: Right?

169
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 13: That's see everyone, I hope that's there's probably a website

170
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 13: for that.

171
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: Anyway, Merry Christmas to you, my friend.

172
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 13: You're coming in four by four, which is better than expected,

173
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 13: quite frankly, really on a Majestic Model one four. This

174
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 13: radio is for nineteen fifty one. It's an AM radio

175
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 13: boasting four tubes and nothing else, oh except that it's

176
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 13: a marbled Catlan, which means it costs a lot to

177
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 13: buy one now. And it's in the shape of Rudolph

178
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 13: the Red Nose reindeer. And it has a dial likee

179
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 13: that doesn't like the dial, but it lights up his

180
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 13: little red nose. It's really cute. It was based on

181
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 13: the Oregond four forty four, which was the Mighty Mite.

182
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 13: But I'll tell you what the Rudolph obviously being for kids.

183
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 13: And by the way today's money, it actually sold for

184
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 13: less than two hundred bucks, so that's not bad for

185
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 13: radio back then. Absolutely. But the one nice thing is

186
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 13: that it is Catlin because the the Arvin Mighty Might

187
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 13: that was based on was a metal cabinet and what

188
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 13: they called the hot chassis. Depending upon which way you

189
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 13: plug the plug into the outlet. Yeah, if you touch

190
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 13: did it might send you across the room?

191
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: Okay?

192
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 6: Nice?

193
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it was it was an electronic travel agent.

194
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 3: I like it.

195
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 13: So the catalogs the Arvin says smart, trim and dainty,

196
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 13: so small and compact. Okay, so far they're bat and

197
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 13: two for two so big in power and tone. No,

198
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 13: that's not true. So attractive in design when you remove

199
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 13: Rudolph it's no, it's not. But solo in price, yes

200
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 13: it is. Most families need three or more Arvins. Okay,

201
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 13: then there's one way to sell them upstairs, downstairs, anywhere.

202
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 13: They were really reaching for anything.

203
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: No, I mean you know they're trying to upsell those suckers,

204
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. I mean, you know, the more

205
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: the merrier, how do you do it? Volume?

206
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 13: It's right, they made one with Rudolph, and they made

207
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 13: one with the lone Ranger and the the marbled Catlan

208
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 13: cabins like this one. Well, they'll bring in two grand

209
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 13: or more today. And then Ward's Airline also had a

210
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 13: bake light version that was not the marbled color, and

211
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 13: it was a more fragile plastic. But nonetheless it will

212
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 13: still bring in a grand or so.

213
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: Oh, no doubt, no doubt. So uh you need? I mean,

214
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: how many Arvins do you have?

215
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 13: I actually had six of the little Mighty Mites and

216
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 13: always and I put polarized plugs on them, so they

217
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 13: will not send you across the room.

218
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 6: They will across the room.

219
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 5: So what do you do?

220
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: What are you and Marie doing for Christmas?

221
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 10: Rick?

222
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: What's the usual traditional Washburn Christmas?

223
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 10: We?

224
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 13: Well, traditional Washburn Christmas. We actually celebrated two days ago

225
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 13: with our daughter and had a uh we went out

226
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 13: to Ford's Garage for dinner, which is a really cool

227
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 13: restaurant that has a model a hanging over the bar

228
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 13: and a great menu and lots of old antique signs

229
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 13: from from old Ford dealerships and repair places.

230
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 6: And so forth.

231
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,000

00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 15: Her singing this morning was beautiful.

316
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: Oh I'm like I said, that's my favorite Christmas hymn

317
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: hands down is Yeah.

318
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 15: Well, how well, sweetheart, I've been fine, trying to get

319
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 15: back into the groove.

320
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 6: Yeah.

321
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 15: Well, anyway, I just pray for the kids and especially

322
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 15: the lost children. So anyway, sweetheart, you just have a happy.

323
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: Birthday, Okay, all right, Pat, Merry Christmas.

324
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 15: Dear saying to you babe, bye bye bye.

325
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: Six at seven l our friend Steve from at Ohio.

326
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: Good morning, Steve, and Marry, Good.

327
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 5: Morning Gary, Jeff. Indeed, it was on Christmas Eve and

328
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 5: Christmas Day of nineteen fourteen, just a couple of months

329
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 5: after World War One started. US wasn't involved yet, you

330
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 5: are correct. The soldiers on both sides came out of

331
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 5: their foxholes, they shook hands. The Germans actually produced a

332
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 5: Christmas tree. I did a little digging in just to

333
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,959
Speaker 5: see how many books and how many papers had been

334
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 5: written about this incident, and I came up with this one.

335
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 5: This particular author acknowledges the fact that, beginning in the

336
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 5: nineteen eighties, the Brits suddenly took a very active interest

337
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 5: in exactly what happened. Now, let me read a few

338
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 5: paragraphs at the end of this report. I've tried to

339
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 5: counteract two popular misconceptions of the truths. One is that

340
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 5: only common soldiers took part in it, while officers opposed it.

341
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 5: No few officers opposed it, and many took part. The

342
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 5: other is that neither side wished to return to fighting. No,

343
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 5: most soldiers, especially British, French and Belgium, remained determined to

344
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 5: fight and win. Sadly, I also had to admit the

345
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,479
Speaker 5: Christmas Day games of football or soccer as they call

346
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 5: it in the US, often falsely associated with the truth.

347
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 5: The truth is that the terrain of No Man's Land

348
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 5: ruled out formal games. Though certainly some soldiers kicked around

349
00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 5: balls and make shifts substitutes. Another false idea about the

350
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 5: truce was held even by most soldiers who were there,

351
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 5: that it was unique in history. Though the Christmas Truce

352
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 5: is the greatest example of its kind, informal truces had

353
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 5: been an outstanding military tradition during the American Civil War.

354
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 5: For instance, rebels and Yankees traded tobacco, coffee and newspapers,

355
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 5: fished peacefully on opposite sides of the stream, and even

356
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 5: gathered blackberries together. Some degree of fellow feeling had always

357
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 5: been common among soldiers sent to battle. It got me

358
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 5: to thinking, there's a lot of hate going around. As

359
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 5: a matter of fact, there's more hate this Christmas than

360
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 5: anyone since I've been alive and aware of what was

361
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 5: going on around me. It's despicable in every respect. It

362
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 5: would be just speakable even if it wasn't Christmas. But

363
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 5: I got to thinking, can I ask God on his birthday?

364
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,239
Speaker 5: Can I ask Jesus? Could you give us another one

365
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 5: of these Christmas truces in Australia, Ukraine, the United States?

366
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 5: Wouldn't it be wonderful? And I know you can do it, Jesus.

367
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 5: I want to end, as we always do at Christmas time,

368
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 5: happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to Jim le Barbara,

369
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 5: and happy birthday to my great grandchild first one, all

370
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 5: of whom were born on the twenty second. God bless y'all,

371
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 5: and God bless everybody else.

372
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: Thank you, Gary Jeff, Thank you Steve. Great Christmas message.

373
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: Can it be so? My friend Ray will join us

374
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: Ray Scott here in just a moment as we continue

375
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: on this Saturday before Christmas six fifty one at seven

376
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 1: hundred WLW actually heard during a report recently the alleged

377
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: killer died of a gunshot wound from a gun No kidding.

378
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: Our friend Steve Shilty, who also has a birthday coming

379
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: up this coming week, his on Christmas Eve. He has

380
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: a birthday on Christmas Eve every year, and he is

381
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: also our resident environmental engineer. You know, environmental engineers never

382
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: really retire, They just appear on the radio once a week.

383
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: Steve Shilte, good morning and merry Christmas, my friend. How

384
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: are we?

385
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 6: Good morning, Gary Jeff? Better than I deserve as always,

386

389
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: do that for us on Monday. What are you doing

00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: on Monday, Steve?

391
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 10: Right now?

392
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 6: Nothing starting two, one thing after another.

393
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, well, you know noon to three, you know

394
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: where we'll be. You wanted to give some shout outs

395
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: first this morning? What have you got for it?

396
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 6: First of all, shout out to my fellow Golden LaSalle

397
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 6: alumni as we enjoyed our third annual Class of seventy

398
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 6: three Christmas party at the firehouse at Covington Yard, hosted

399
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 6: by our fellow classmate Steve Hamburger. Okay, so were was

400
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 6: about fifty somewhere between fifty and sixty guys joined us,

401
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 6: and that was great.

402
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: No, no way, how long ago? I don't want to

403
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: divulge too much personal information of yours, but how long

404
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 1: ago did you graduate from Lassell?

405
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 6: I said, class of seventy three.

406
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: Seventy three, okay, so we're talking about fifty two years? Yes, well,

407
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: and what made you decide to start doing an annual

408
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: Christmas party three years ago?

409
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 6: At our fiftieth I think it was at our fiftieth

410
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 6: ann fiftieth you know, animation decided to have we decided

411
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 6: to have it.

412
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: So that's great and.

413
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 6: Steve Hamburger owns the firehouse that coming into the yards

414
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 6: a great place, especially with fifty sixty guys. So we've

415
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 6: done it today. This year is our third year. Also

416
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 6: to acknowledge guy I've known since grade school, Tim Iory

417
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 6: and his wife who always listened to the program. And

418
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 6: interesting one I don't I can't remember who it was.

419
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 6: Another alumnus, when he heard that I was doing this

420
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 6: gig every week, responded quote, I remember his quote. So

421
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 6: you are the Steve Shulty. I've been noting you two

422
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 6: for years. That's yep, that's me. But onto the subject

423
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 6: and topic at.

424
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: Hands bear polar bears. Everybody loves the cute little polar

425
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: bears that will rip your shrowdout if you get too close. Yeah, anyway,

426
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: go ahead.

427
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 6: But Climate Change Weekly number five sixty six from yesterday

428
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 6: Heartland dot org gur polar bear populations decreasing or on again.

429
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 6: We've been hearing for years that polar bear populations are

430
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 6: decreasing and threatening due to so called man's made catastrophic

431
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 6: climate change. And to this day, even in your favorite

432
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 6: NGOs such as the National Resource Defense Council and the

433
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 6: World Wildlife Federation used polar bears as their poster childs

434
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 6: for fundraising. It's not you know, give us lots of

435
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 6: money and we're gonna save the bears. Well, here's the fact.

436
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 6: Pullar bear populations have been increasing ever since sciences have

437
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 6: been had started counting them despite slight warming and the

438
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 6: loss of ice in the arty, since nineteen fifty, which

439
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 6: is when they started counting them. But I guess the

440
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 6: best they could population estimate it went from ten thousand

441
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 6: to today over thirty nine thousand. Part of the reason

442
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 6: is tighter restrictions in the hunting, but there were more

443
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 6: to it. Polar bears have are extremely adaptable predators and

444
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 6: scavengers evolved over hundreds of thousands of years. That's the

445
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 6: number of folks hundreds of thousands of years, lived through

446
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 6: periods that were warmer than today, such as five thousand

447
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 6: and just seven thousand years ago. They also survived cold

448
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 6: periods we know as ice age that other animals and

449
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 6: species died, like the wooly mammoth and the sabertooth tiger.

450
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 6: And yes, there are some local populations that have declined,

451
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 6: but they're far outweighed by booms of population and other

452
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 6: In fact, research suggests that ice loss in the Arctic

453
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 6: regions has benefited polar bears by resulting in increased the

454
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 6: populations of healthy ringed and bearded seals, which polar bears

455
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 6: love to must be the filaming young for polar bears.

456
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 6: They've showed that the polar bears in some regions are

457
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 6: literally fatter going into winter harbonations than they did decades ago,

458
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 6: in having more cubs survived the adulthood. So again, once again,

459
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 6: another so called man made catastrophic climate change hopes hits

460
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 6: the scrap pile.

461
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: Well, well, Steve, what you just said, though, illuminates the

462
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: danger of man made climate change because we are causing

463
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: the polar bears to become obese.

464
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 6: They're fatter, so yeah, the extent of the cute little

465
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 6: uh bearded and polar and ring polar polar seals. Yeah, no,

466
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 6: they're cute too.

467
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 10: Yeah.

468
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: I think I think humans prefer seal meat over bear meat,

469
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: so I can understand while hunting has been greatly restricted,

470
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: I don't need any polar bear backstrips or ground polar bear.

Speaker 1: Christmas up of wild wacky stories from around the world,

497
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: around the country. Tom Good morning, Gary Jeff. This week

498
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: the world's biggest snowman is Chinese. But first, a husband

499
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: in distress seen hanging from the second floor sign of

500
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: a hotel naked. He was apparently caught seeing someone on

501
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: the side when his wife walked in and he ended

502
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: up out the window hanging from a sign. Rescuers were

503
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: able to get him down, but instead of hanging around,

504
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: he took off running naked through the streets and he

505
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: is still missing. Meanwhile, NBC News is reporting on a

506
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: camel kick during a Christmas gig. The faithful attending a

507
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: live Nativity scene at the Champion Forest Baptist Church had

508
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: a front row seat to see a camel kick its

509
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: hind legs back and hit a woman seated in the audience.

510
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: She was immediately tended to and she's expected to be okay.

511
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 17: There is no word on the camel's motive Aboutinez, California

512
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 17: wife surprised her husband with a Godzilla rage room for

513
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 17: his birthday. The man, a Godzilla superfan, dressed up as

514
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 17: the monster and smashed a mini replica of Tokyo. His

515
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 17: wife shared the experience on social media and said it

516
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 17: was a fun way for him to let off steam.

517
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 17: The internet had a mixed reaction, everything from he's a

518
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 17: week loser to at least she cares enough to indulge

519
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 17: his infantile behavior and finally, it's the size of Godzilla.

520
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 17: But it's not Japanese, it's Chinese. The world's largest snowman

521
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 17: was just built in Harbin, China. It took a team

522
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 17: of workers weeks to pile up three hundred and ninety

523
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 17: six thousand pounds of snow into a sixty two foot

524
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 17: tall snowman. He's wearing your red Santa outfit and is

525
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 17: called Frosty. Last year's snowman was a record breaker, and

526
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 17: they beat it this year by three feet. Next week,

527
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 17: Oklahoma family dazed and confused when a kangaroo busts down

528
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 17: the door during dinner.

Speaker 1: I had scrambled eggs, which were delicious. I mean, and

547
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: you can get scrambled eggs in any of those kind

548
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: of breakfasts, but these were very very good. They had

00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: getta and I don't know who made the getta, but

550
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: I found it was a little overdone, but it was

551
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 1: still very good. Bacon. I had a cinnamon roll and

552
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: lots of fresh fruit that was oh breakfast, potatoes too,

553

Speaker 1: very well seasoned, and coffee and a bloody Mary. Before

554
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: the breakfast started, I was with the Bonavito brothers. Is

555
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: there a more Italian West Side name than Bonavito. So

556
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: I'm there with the Bonavitos and the little Bonavitos. They

557
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: brought their sons along, and we were the only ones

558
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: at the bar. Actually, before breakfast, I just wanted a

559
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: Bloody Mary, so I had that and enjoyed that. And

560
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: one of them had bourbon in their bloody Mary and

561
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: I never heard of that before, and it still kind

562
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: of makes me gag a little bit when I think

563
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: of it when it comes to bloody Mary's. You know,

564
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,720
Speaker 1: vodka jin maybe, but not bourbon.

565
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 10: I don't know anyway, And I'm like the donkey put

566
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 10: a smile on my wife's face this morning.

567
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: Didn't really?

568
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 10: Yes?

569
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: Has she always been a fan of donkeys?

570
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 10: Yes, sir, yeah, well, I mean it's not when she

574
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well hopefully hopefully you'll be listening. It's it's

575
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: during Willie's show. He's gone and they asked me to

576
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: fill in, and I said, wow, that's my birthday. I

577
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: might as well host my own birthday party with Jim

578
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: Lebarbera because it's his birthday too. Jim is exactly nineteen

579
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: years older than I am, and I am I am

580
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: clipping at sixty five on Monday, which I'm not really

581
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: fully prepared for still, you know, trying to figure out

582
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: the medicare thing and all of that garbage, and it's

583
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: just it's a little bit much for me.

584
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 10: Well, I know where to go to.

585
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 1: Oh do you good?

586
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 8: One?

587
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 10: Yeah, we'll actually go to you.

588
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: We will we will talk. We will talk after the show, Michael,

589
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. All right, So what do you

590
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: got this morning?

591
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 6: Right?

592
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 10: One? This is quickly one of the better social science

593
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 10: studies that for the year. I think that regularly helping

594
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 10: people outside your household can actually improve your help improve

595
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 10: your cognitive decline and keep it astray and people of

596
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 10: our age, middle aged and older adults. So what they

597
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 10: did thirty thousand Americans. They looked at from over the

598
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 10: age of fifty one since like ninety eight, and they

599
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 10: counted for OTU factors as well with education and current

600
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 10: physical mental health. And what they found out is if

601
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 10: you formally and even informally help somebody else two to

602
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 10: four hours a week in this scheduled environment, or even

603
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 10: go help a neighbor with you know, yard work or

604
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 10: get their garbage every Monday night or anything like that,

605
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 10: or something regular like that. They can decrease your probability

606
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 10: of having cognitive decline by twenty percent. You know, it

607
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 10: helps you stay connected to the outside world too, and

608
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 10: things like that. But just it's amazing. It's like help.

609
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 10: Things are interrelated. Helping other people helps you. You know.

610
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 10: One of the stats I've read was one three of

611
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 10: Americans take part in schedule formal volunteering in this country,

612
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 10: and fifty percent do informal informal help for their neighbor.

613
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 10: So you know, it's not all bad out there.

614
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: What, No, No, it's not. In fact, we hear about

615
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: the bad because that is news that is out of

616
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: the ordinary. The bad is out of the out of

617
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: the usual of what goes on in most people's lives.

618
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: I've talked about this for years, Mike. The reason people

619
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: always go, well, why isn't there any good news? There's

620
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: good news all around us. We only hear about the

621
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: so called bad news because it's the aberration, it's the anomaly,

622
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: it's not the usual. And people need to remember that

623
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: if they feel inundated with chaos and bad news all

624
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: the time. Remember the reason you don't hear good news

625
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:36,080

Speaker 1: Merry Christmas to that Teresa and to you kids. Time

672
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: will gives from Wally. Does anybody really know what time

673
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 1: it is? The guy goes to the doctor for his

674
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: annual physical doctor's office calls him wants him to come

675
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: back in the lab reports have detected a serious terminal illness.

676
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: The doctor says, I don't know how to tell you this.

677
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 1: I'll just tell you there's no treatment right now that

678
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: we know of, no surgery, and I'd say you have

679
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 1: about six months to live. You probably need to make

680
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: sure your your will is in order. You have a will,

681
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: I hope, get your affairs in order, and uh, just

682
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,760
Speaker 1: figure out what you're gonna do with the last six months.

683
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: The guy thinks for a second. He says, Doc, I

684
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna go live with my mother in law.

685
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 1: I says, well, I mean it's your business, but why

686
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: are you gonna go live with your mother they're in law?

687
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: Because it'll be the longest six months of my life.

688
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,879
Speaker 1: Is it going to be almost sixty degrees on Christmas Day?

689
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 1: Which is kind of weird, especially after what we've just

690
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: been through the last couple of weeks. I'm curious about

691
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: what our friend Moe Egger has cooking for the Christmas

692
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 1: season and the Christmas week ahead. So what do you

693
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: think We'll ask him? Hey, mo, how are we doing?

694
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: I'm doing fantastic. One of my favorite times of the year.

695
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: You know, it's my birthday, on Monday. And by the way,

696
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 1: I want you to know if you're around, you're more

697
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: than invited to the on air Christmas birthday party we're

698
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: going to have for myself and jim Lebarbara on Monday

699
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: in lieu of the Willie Show. I'll be on for

700
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: mister Cunningham, and I decided, you know, nobody else is

701
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: going to throw me at Christmas party, so I throw

702
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: my own, just like why I throw my own anniversary

703
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: party for this show because I knew nobody else would

704
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:03,359
Speaker 1: do it. So my question for you as a dad,

705
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 1: uh huh. Everybody has Christmas traditions in their family, and

706
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: I'm just curious if you want to share with us

707
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: what Christmas tradition have you established for you and the

708
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 1: missus and and Crosley. Do you have any Christmas traditions

709
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 1: something that you've come to do every year since you've

710
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: become a dad, Crawsley.

711
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 8: Do we have any cool Christmas traditions? Well, she gave

712
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 8: me a shoulder shrug.

713
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: Oh no, she's already, she's already. She's already got your

714
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: personality pretty much.

715
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, pretty much. I don't you know we uh,

716
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:45,280
Speaker 9: Crosley and I usually take a Saturday early in December

717
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 9: and go visit Fanta Claus and have lunch. That's probably

718
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 9: it qualifies our most recurring one. We've done that every year.

719
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: For a long time.

720
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 8: You know what I like to do on Christmas, and

721
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 8: this has very little to do with my family.

722
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 9: I like on Christmas Eve night, I like to pour

723
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 9: myself a live as and I like to watch.

724
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 8: Mass midnight Mass from the Vatican.

725
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 10: I like that.

726
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 9: Nice, probably not for everybody. It's quiet in the house

727
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 9: before the storm the next day. My friends of mine

728
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:29,839
Speaker 9: who laugh at me for enjoying.

729
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 8: This prevision, but because they said, well, don't you just

730
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 8: go to a real Mass?

731
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 9: But I actually do enjoy doing that.

732
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 1: Oh no, that that totally qualifies. And you know, it's

733
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: it's your thing, So it's got to be cool if

734
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: that's what you enjoy doing, and that's the way you

735
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 1: kind of soak in the spirit of what should be

736
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 1: a joyous time for believers and for people who understand

737
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: the reason for the season. I mean that that totally

738
00:46:57,719 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 1: gets it for me.

739
00:46:58,440 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 6: I love that.

740
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: I like that, you know, and and what she spoke

741
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:07,439
Speaker 1: to there also speaks to something that a lot more

742
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 1: of us could benefit from. Not just at Christmas, but

743
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: in our daily lives, and that is taken some quiet

744
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: time by ourselves, maybe maybe not with anything on in

745
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: front of us, maybe with some screen time like masks

746
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: like you're talking about, but just taking just taking some

747
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 1: time to just be quiet and tune out from everything else.

748
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 10: Mo.

749
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been more and more people are talking

750
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: about that, especially in the age in which we live,

751
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 1: where we're constantly on our screens, on our phones. And

752
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: like you said, the noise of the next day, I

753
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,240
Speaker 1: hear Crosley in the background. Is she singing?

754
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 9: She's yes, she's making Christmas cards and I think she's

755
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 9: trying to get hurt on the radio.

756
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 8: I think is gotcha?

757
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: Hi, Crosley? How you doing.

758
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 9: She's doing well, as you can tell. I enjoy everything

759
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:09,760
Speaker 9: that you just talked about. The occasional bursts of quiet

760
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 9: time are very much cherished.

761
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 3: Oh.

762
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,359
Speaker 1: I come home from when I work at the bar,

763
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: and I will again today when I get home a

764
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: little after seven o'clock tonight, after listening to the jukebox

765
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:27,839
Speaker 1: and to the TVs with the games. The last thing

766
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: I want is noise. And when I get home from

767
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: this show, I will sit for an hour before I

768
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 1: have to go to work at my other job, and

769
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 1: we never on Saturday mornings have the TV on or anything.

770
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 1: When I get home, we just sit there in silence,

771
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 1: drink a little coffee. Sometimes I take a nap. But

772
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm telling you what tuning out is. I think one

773
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 1: of the healthiest things you can do mentally, just to

774
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: replenish your soul. Man, it's mass It really matters.

775
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 8: It matters a lot.

776
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's uh.

777
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 9: That's a big part of my morning every day is.

778
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:12,800
Speaker 8: Drop it off school and enjoying some some silence before

779
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 8: we uh, before we get going for the day.

780
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about that. No silence in that stadium

781
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:23,240
Speaker 1: last night in Oklahoma and Norman. That was a Rockets

782
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: place and it looked like the crowd was going to

783
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: rule the day along with the Sooners in the first half.

784
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: But Alabama came to the fore man and they they

785
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 1: knocked it out and moved on. In the College Football Championship,

786
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: do you like the setup of the first round games

787
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: being played on the top top teams in the seedings

788
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 1: home home field.

789
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 6: Do you like that?

790
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 10: I do.

791
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 9: I kind of wish that was the case in the

792
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 9: second round as well, to give those teams that got

793
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 9: by the home field advantage that the teams in the

794
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 9: first round that earned home games got. I think it's

795
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 9: it's a cool element. You know, the scene last night

796
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 9: and Norman was awesome. I also feel like if you

797
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 9: put those games on neutral sites, logistically with the turnaround,

798
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 9: you know, you're not giving fans that much of an

799
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,919
Speaker 9: opportunity to go see their favorite team play.

800
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 8: And so I think you would have a lot of

801
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 8: venues that are what.

802
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 9: You don't want for a college football playoff game, and

803
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 9: that's half empty or mostly empty.

804
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 8: But yeah, I think you know, last year.

805
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 9: Home teams won all four games in the first round,

806
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 9: and frankly, none of them were very competitive. Last night

807
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 9: was two entirely different games. I think I was like

808
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 9: a lot of people who thought, Okay, Alabama is down

809
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,720
Speaker 9: seventeen to nothing, there's a lot of noise arounding their coach.

810
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: Maybe going to Michigan.

811
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 8: They just laid an egg in the SEC championship game.

812
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:51,879
Speaker 1: They're playing on the road.

813
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 9: And then because of some Oklahoma mistakes, they had a

814
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 9: punt that was dropped where the putter literally dropped the

815
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 9: ball he was about to kick. They had a pick

816
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 9: six that just totally felt like it swung the game.

817
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,800
Speaker 9: But yeah, there's lots of issues with the College Football

818
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 9: Playoff that people have. Some of them are very legitimate gripes.

819
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 9: But I think the coolest element that has been added

820
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 9: since they expanded the field of twelve was playing games

821
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,760
Speaker 9: on campus sites. It's last year Notre Dame hosting Indiana.

822
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 9: That was an awesome setting. The game wasn't very good,

823
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 9: but that was an awesome setting. Ohio State got a

824
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 9: home game last year and there were a ton of

825
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 9: Tennessee fans there because it was in the wake of

826
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 9: Ohio State losing to Michigan. I thought that was a

827
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 9: really cool setting.

828
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 8: It wasn't much of a game.

829
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 9: I like the fact where we're seeing games played in

830
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 9: true home sites in the first round, and I wish

831
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 9: it would continue in the second round.

832
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah when that and this is the last thing I

833
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 1: saw on last night's Alabama Oklahoma game was one of

834
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: the best punters in the nation simply dropping the punt

835
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 1: right before his foot met it, and you know, Alabama recovers,

836
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 1: And to me, that was the at one play was

837
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: the shifting of the mo.

838
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 8: Mo and you could feel it, you could see it.

839
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 10: In real time.

840
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 9: They also missed. They also missed a couple of field goals,

841
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 9: including a chip shot.

842
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 8: By a guy who hadn't missed since the first game

843
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 8: of the season.

844
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 9: That game very quickly went from one that felt like

845
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 9: Oklahoma was in complete control to one that very quickly

846
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 9: felt like it was slipping away, which it did.

847
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, amazing that the choke color fit at home.

848
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 10: Now.

849
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: The only game today that seems like it's going to

850
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: be competitive is the Miami Texas A and M game,

851
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: because I mean, let's face it, James Madison in Tulane

852
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: are not college football juggernauts. They got in because they're

853
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 1: in that Power five. Whatever. What do you look for

854
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 1: in the Texas A and M Miami game today? And

855
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:49,720
Speaker 1: how do you think that's.

856
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 10: Going to go?

857
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 9: I want to see how good Miami quarterback Carson Beck is.

858
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 9: You know, in this day and age of college football,

859
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 9: there are certain players who feel like they've been playing since.

860
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 8: I was in college.

861
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 9: Yeah, and he's won and look to me, you know,

862
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 9: the big The two controversial selections were obviously Alabama getting

863
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 9: in instead of Notre Dame and Miami getting in instead

864
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 9: of Notre Dame. Now, I think the consensus is that

865
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 9: ultimately Miami deserved to get in ahead of Notre Dame

866
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,399
Speaker 9: because they won head to head, but how they got

867
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 9: there was weird, and how they got there has elicited

868
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 9: some very legitimate gripes from not just Notre Dame fans,

869
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 9: but the athletic director at Notre Dame who went on

870
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 9: about a three day crusade to kind of tell everybody

871
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 9: how much his team got screwed. And I think, to

872
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 9: a degree, they did.

873
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 8: And so I think it's not dissimilar from last night.

874
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:45,479
Speaker 9: Do the Hurricanes belong in this field? If they play

875
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 9: well and win, then I think to a degree, it's

876
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 9: going to justify what the committee did. It's also a

877
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 9: game between the ACC representative, not the ACC champion, versus.

878
00:53:58,239 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 1: The SEC team.

879
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 9: And I think if Miami loses tonight, it's going to

880
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 9: be a very stark referendum on a conference that did

881
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 9: not have a very good season, that did not send

882
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 9: its champion to the College Football Playoff.

883
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 6: And so we'll see.

884
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 9: And it's also a coach in Mario Cristobal at Miami.

885
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 9: And I was listening to a college football podcast with

886
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 9: a talk show host from Miami who was on who

887
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 9: was talking about the fact that, you know, Mario Cristiball,

888
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 9: who played at Miami, was the center, was the coach

889
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 9: at Oregon, now coaching his alma mater. He's had some

890
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 9: terrific wins, but he's also had some games where his

891
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 9: decision making has cost his team victory. If that happens

892
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 9: today in the game against Texas A and M I

893
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:43,439
Speaker 9: think how he's talked about and how he's written about

894
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 9: is going to be really interesting.

895
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: I had some definite thoughts about Notre Dame and their

896
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: reaction to not getting in, and they're you know, taking

897
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: their collective balls and just saying, no, we're not going

898
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 1: to play. Yeah, you cheated us out of a chance

899
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 1: to play for a champion, so we're just not going

900
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: to play in any bulls. And I've talked about this

901
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 1: Notre Dame fans and they kind of agree with me.

902
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 1: And you know, maybe it's time Notre Dame joins a conference.

903
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 1: Maybe it's time that they play the best week in

904
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:18,240
Speaker 1: and week out during a conference schedule instead of relying

905
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 1: on the name Notre Dame. What do you think about that?

906
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:25,800
Speaker 9: Well, I think if there's a program that has often

907
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 9: fairly been accused of being entitled. It's Notre Dame. And

908
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 9: you know, look, your independence comes at a cost, and

909
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 9: for Notre Dame, the cost is unlike everybody else in

910
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 9: the conference, don't get a chance to play a thirteenth game,

911
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 9: don't get a chance to call yourself conference championships. Now,

912
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 9: the upside of that is if you make the college

913
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 9: football playoffs, you don't have to split the money, and

914
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 9: so you know, there's a cost of independence.

915
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 6: I didn't have an issue with.

916
00:55:56,040 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 9: What Notre Dame did. Mainly I remember Florida State two

917
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 9: years ago. Florida State got snubbed because their quarterback got

918
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 9: hurt and they excluded them despite being undefeated from the

919
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 9: College Football playoff. They had a lot of players opt out,

920
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 9: and they put a product on the field that was

921
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,840
Speaker 9: not representative of how good that Florida State team was

922
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:22,479
Speaker 9: all season, and they got destroyed by Georgia. I would

923
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 9: rather a team say we're not showing up, we're not

924
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 9: gonna play, We're not gonna play without a bunch of

925
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 9: guys who opt out, then put on the field what

926
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 9: Florida State did. And look, a lot of schools say

927
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 9: no to bowl games. A lot of schools say look

928
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 9: for a variety of reasons, whether it's a coaching change,

929
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 9: whether it's you know, we have players who aren't going

930
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 9: to play in the game because they're going to go

931
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 9: pursue other opportunities.

932
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 10: Whatever it is.

933
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 13: There's a lot of schools that say no to bowl games.

934
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 9: There are schools that say no to the NIIT or

935
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,840
Speaker 9: some of the other college basketball tournaments every March. With

936
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 9: Notre Dame, the reaction is a little bit different because

937
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 9: it's Notre Dame, and because the athletic director did a

938
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 9: fair amount of whining and again, and I thought many

939
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 9: of his gripes were legitimate. But bowl games have never

940
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 9: mattered less. Notre Dame doesn't need to pay out from

941
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 9: some second or third tier. Bowl schools opt out all

942
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,720
Speaker 9: the time. And frankly, as you watch some of these bowls,

943
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 9: when you see teams take the field without you know, sticks, ten, twelve,

944
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 9: fifteen of their best players, sure the games often become

945
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 9: kind of a farce. I would rather a team just say, look,

946
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 9: we're not going to be a part of that than

947
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 9: put a team on the field that gives us a

948
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 9: game that's not very competitive.

949
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 1: Well, I'll be watching with great interest the Vanderbilt Iowa

950
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: game because my dad's in Iowa alum. I was born

951
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: in Iowa, and I rooted for Vanderbilt for the last

952
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: I don't know decade or whatever. So that's a bowl

953
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: game that's not in the championship that I'll I'll have

954
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 1: great interest in. Listen, Moe, have a very very merry Christmas.

955
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 1: Enjoy Mass on Tuesday night and or but yeah, Wednesday night,

956
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 1: and Merry Christmas to Crosley, you too, man, Thanks so much.

957
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: All Right, you got a counselor what's going on? Hey, buddy,

958
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: how you doing. You're one of those Notre Dame fans whining,

959
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: aren't you. I'm one of those Notre Dame fans, but

960
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: not whining. Okay, go ahead, I mean I kind of

961
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 1: agree with Moe on that one.

962
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 20: What's on the show today, Well, I'll tell you we're

963
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 20: gonna be talking a lot about what's going on in

964
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 20: Minnesota and Gary Jeff.

965
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 1: It is just unbelievable. They're now up to I believe

966
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:30,919
Speaker 1: six billion. I heard nine. Well, this is on our.

967
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 20: That's undocumented so far. It's going to go beyond that. Well,

968
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 20: beyond that, we're going to talk about that in detail,

969
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 20: in the rant. Also Janis Higel of the Epoch Time.

970
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 20: She filed no less than five separate stories this week

971
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 20: on it. She's up there on the ground, she's all

972
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 20: over this thing. We're gonna talk to Janis about that.

973
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 20: I believe I've got her on at eleven o'clock. I'm

974
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:57,400
Speaker 20: going to talk to her about that. Go to talk

975
00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:01,919
Speaker 20: to Kevin Burton, independent political consultant. This Ohio governor's race

976
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 20: is getting close. It's heating up.

977
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 10: You know.

978
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 20: Everybody thought, myself included Vivek Ramaswami, would blow Amy Act

979
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 20: in a way, and that may ultimately happen, but it

980
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 20: is tight now. Also Texas Senate race Jasmine Crockett. I mean,

981
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 20: if the people of Texas elect that woman, I'm moving

982
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 20: to Mexico. So we'll be talking to Kevin about all

983
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 20: those things. And again heavily on the Minnesota situation. Yeah,

984
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 20: I'd hold off on the move to Mexico. I think

985
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 20: that's gonna happen. I don't think and Amy Acting just

986
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 20: needs to go smoke some dope and leave us alone.

987
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 20: Have a fantastic Christmas. Merry Christmas too, buddy, you're invited

988
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 20: to the Christmas party. Money if you want to come

00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,880
