1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM sixty on demand. 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 2: Blue Penrose with you till ten o'clock. Thanks for tuning in. 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 2: Good to have you along with us on a Tuesday. 4 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 2: All right, you got the top story. A person has 5 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 2: been detained in connection to the abduction of Savannah Guthrie's mom. 6 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 2: That's a big story. ABC News is the agency reporting this. 7 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 2: Detained for questioning. So this is pretty fascinating. This technology 8 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:37,959 Speaker 2: that they have that allows the cameras to see the 9 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 2: just the eyes. Like literally, the guy's wearing a ski mask, 10 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 2: like old school bad guy mask like you see in 11 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 2: all the movies, right, all the clin Eastwood movies. All 12 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 2: the bad guys had these ski masks in San Francisco, 13 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 2: and uh, you know, just the the old will cut 14 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 2: out the little thing for the nose. And the technology 15 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 2: is so great that they can begin I mean, they 16 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 2: can shoot a camera on it and the artificial intelligence 17 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 2: can say, all right, there's a let's see here. We 18 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 2: can narrow down on planet Earth that configuration of eyes 19 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 2: and nose to about sixteen hundred, then down to six hundred, 20 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 2: then down to six. Now it's look at every photographed 21 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: individual in public everywhere on every camera at every bank, airport, 22 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 2: every driver's license all fifty states, every passport photo, everywhere 23 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 2: in government and in public, that a photograph was ever taken, 24 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 2: and whose eyes match up? And send an email to 25 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 2: the guys in Pima County, Arizona and boom, that's pretty amazing. 26 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 2: I mean, that's criminology, that's crime stopping. I want that. 27 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 2: I know everybody's worried about big Brother, but I'll tell 28 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 2: you what, when somebody kidnaps your mom, you want big brother, 29 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: you want that kind of technology. Just I'm fascinated with 30 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 2: the story and I'm looking forward to learning more. This 31 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 2: is why I'm in favor of the cameras. There's always 32 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 2: an argument every city in Los Angeles County. We're having 33 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: an argument now where I am in San Diego. I 34 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: guess I don't know. I'm sure it to Levisa. One 35 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: of the cities wants to bring back the red light cameras. 36 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 2: Everybody's met at the red light cameras. Oh no, it's 37 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 2: an invasion of my privacy. What are you talking about. 38 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 2: You're in public anyway, people see you in public, they 39 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,679 Speaker 2: can photograph you in public. Why not have the cameras 40 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 2: on so that when somebody smashes into your parked car, 41 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 2: you know the cops have a photograph of them, or 42 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: if somebody attacks your daughter, or if somebody steals your mother. 43 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm pretty impressed, Ronner. It did not take 44 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: long before the footage of the ring doorbell camera came 45 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 2: out and they announced that they had a person in custody. No, 46 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 2: it was on. It's a straight line between technology and 47 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 2: criminal justice. 48 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a huge relief. But also there's the fact 49 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 3: that she's been missing more than a week, the eighty 50 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 3: four year old mother, and we don't know if she's 51 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 3: had the medication she needs or not, or what kind 52 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 3: of condition she's in. So we're all hoping that they 53 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 3: get her back as quickly as possible. 54 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 2: For sure, I mean it's still a tragic story. I'm 55 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 2: not minimalizing the law. I mean, she's gone for a week, 56 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: so I don't know where she is and we don't 57 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 2: have her yet. But we're closer than we were yesterday. 58 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 4: Absolutely right. 59 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 2: I mean they're going to ask this guy some questions. 60 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 2: I'm just I think that this is moving in the 61 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: right direction, Like these kinds of terrible stories won't be 62 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 2: able to happen eventually. I mean little things help right, 63 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 2: identifying that the blood is the blood from the mom. 64 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 2: I mean, that's again gruesome and tragic, but nevertheless it 65 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 2: is helpful. And DNA allows that to happen. This ring 66 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: doorball cameras everywhere, and the facial recognition technology. I just 67 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 2: think it's a net positive to go after these bad guys. 68 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 2: And I know everybody's a little you know, touchy and 69 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: nancy about Big Brother and facial recognition and all that, 70 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,679 Speaker 2: but I look at it from big picture, thirty thousand 71 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 2: feet level, and I think it's working for us. So 72 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: I'm a huge fan and I look forward to what 73 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 2: they want to ask this guy and what he has 74 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 2: to say. And I mean, this may be one of 75 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 2: many guys that the ski mask image matches up within 76 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 2: the facial recognition technology. So huge, huge story and huge update. 77 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 2: And it is seven days, but it's not a cold 78 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 2: lead anymore. Now We're onto something, all right. I'd be 79 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: remiss if I did not remark on the big news 80 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 2: here on KFI today. Everybody is always so excited about 81 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 2: these kinds of changes, and uh, Tim Conway Junior very 82 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: excited about being back in the time slot and John 83 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 2: Cobelt back in Afternoon Drive. So from what I gather, 84 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 2: they blew up KFI so as to return it to 85 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 2: the way KFI was before they blew it up. That 86 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 2: pretty much the way it's all landing. And they added 87 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 2: my man Chris Merrill and are partnering him with the 88 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 2: my boy Michael Monks. So what are those guys gonna 89 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 2: talk about? You're gonna talk about everything. I could tell 90 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 2: Chris Merrill stories from San Diego if anybody wants to 91 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 2: know any now. But in all seriousness, that's a that's 92 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 2: a that's a star team right there, two very talented 93 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 2: people for Los Angeles. So that's gonna be a big thing. 94 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 2: And everybody's excited that Tim Conway Junior is back on 95 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 2: in the late evenings so he can go to the 96 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 2: racetrack and hit Costco before they close. That's a big hit. 97 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: Does that mean now that I am officially filling in 98 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 2: for the Tim Conway Junior show at this moment? Fushu said, 99 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 2: it's not official, but how could it not be official? 100 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 2: It's on the internet. 101 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 4: No, it's official. It's ready to go. 102 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 2: All right, Because for a while, like Michelle would call 103 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 2: me and say hey, I got some dates, can you 104 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 2: fill in?

Love 106 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 2: being with the whole team here at KFI. And I 107 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 2: would text it like wh what do I say? Like 108 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 2: who am I filling in for? And she's like nobody, 109 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: Like Okay, how long is this going to go? So yeah, 110 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 2: I've been filling in for this position seven to ten 111 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 2: on and off since Thanksgiving, and so has Chris Merrill, 112 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 2: by the way, and Andy has too, and we've all 113 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 2: kind of back channeled talked to each other like what 114 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 2: exactly are they doing. 115 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 4: There in the evenings? 116 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 2: So I guess the plan was to just go back 117 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 2: to the way it was. I love it. I love progress. 118 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 2: All right, we got a lot to get to this evening. 119 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: The New York Times has shifted its position on the 120 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 2: legalization of marijuana. They've come to the conclusion doing a 121 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 2: lot of research that America has a marijuana addiction problem 122 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: and it's worse than anybody thought. 123 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 5: Now. 124 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 2: I was an early supporter of the legalization of marijuana. 125 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 2: I was an early supporter of the legalization of medicinal marijuana. 126 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 2: I could never figure out why people would be opposed 127 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:39,679 Speaker 2: to doctors prescribing marijuana. Doctors prescribed narcotics for crying out loud, 128 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 2: and anesteciologists have all kinds of stuff back there. So 129 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 2: if a doctor says, yeah, marijuana could work for you, 130 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 2: if you have glaucoma or you're suffering from a wasting 131 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 2: disease like AIDS, why can't a doctor prescribe it. But 132 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 2: it was a fight then, and now it's legalized in California, 133 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 2: and it's legalized in a number of states, and people 134 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 2: are becoming a to it in the LA. The New 135 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 2: York Times is moving back on it. So I'll share 136 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 2: with you what they had to say and take your 137 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 2: telephone calls. All coming up. 138 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: Next, you're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand, Hylou. 139 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 2: It's Encinitas that's trying to bring back the red light 140 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 2: cameras because that little girl got hit by the car 141 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 2: and the crosswalk by Ralph. Yeah, right by Ralphs. That's 142 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 2: right in Encinitas. So now they're bringing back the red 143 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 2: light cameras. Look this story out of Arizona with Savannah 144 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 2: Guthrie's mom, and if this camera facial recognition recognition of 145 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,719 Speaker 2: a guy in a scheme, ask just the eyes in 146 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 2: the nose configuration. If this turns out to be a 147 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: hot lead and they get the guy, I mean, this 148 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 2: changes everything with respect to facial recognition software. This is 149 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 2: a net plow. This is a huge plus. And I've 150 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 2: been watching this for a while because talk radio is 151 00:08:54,280 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 2: filled with libertarians and I'm not a libertarian, but I 152 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 2: you know, hey, I'm free. The government is a necessary evil. 153 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 2: I don't need the government knowing everything I do. Why 154 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 2: do I have to report to the government. Why do 155 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 2: they need to have my ID right? That's classic libertarianism 156 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 2: and it sounds bravado, but it doesn't really work in 157 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 2: a civilized society because at the end of the day, sure, 158 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 2: nobody has the right to know where you are until 159 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 2: we're looking for you. And if you did something wrong, 160 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,719 Speaker 2: we want to know where you are. And if you 161 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 2: stole somebody's mother, we want to know where that guy went. 162 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 2: So it does work out. And I've just been watching 163 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 2: the technology get better and better and better, and I've 164 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 2: like my libertarian bone has gotten smaller and smaller and smaller. 165 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 2: Where my libertarian concern I just I think that we 166 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 2: are better off. It's Certainly, when it comes to issues 167 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 2: of crime, we are way better off having more cameras, 168 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 2: more tech anology, catch the bad guys right away. 169 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 5: If I screwed the pooch again, they should have chosen. 170 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 2: Years while, always a bridesmaid, never a bride. 171 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 5: Hey, Lou, I agree with you. 172 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 6: I don't care if there's security cameras anywhere and everywhere, whether. 173 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 2: It's red light, the mall, the store, the streets, the sidewalks. 174 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 2: If you're not com meeting any crimes, you have nothing 175 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 2: to be afraid of. Well, it's not so much that, 176 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 2: like that isn't the right attitude. If you're not doing 177 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 2: anything wrong, then what do you care if they're filming you. 178 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 2: They can film you because you're in public. But you 179 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 2: could take that too far. If you have nothing to hide, 180 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 2: then let the cops. 181 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 4: In without a warrant. 182 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 2: Right, we don't want to go that far, but certainly 183 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 2: in public, like most crimes take place in public, or 184 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 2: the escape is in public, like having everything in public 185 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 2: filmed with high quality cameras that capture facial recognition. I 186 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 2: don't know. I'm just a I'm becoming a huge fan, 187 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 2: and I think that if that is what turns this 188 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 2: case around, regardless of the final disposition is of the 189 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 2: person that's being looked for. Fortunately, I mean, I mean 190 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 2: certainly Unfortunately. We're seven days now, so we all understand 191 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 2: the reality of the timeline and an eighty four year 192 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 2: old woman. But as I said, we're closer to finding 193 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 2: the guy today than we were yesterday. All right, so 194 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 2: everyone's smoking pot. New York Times editorial board is shifting 195 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 2: its stance on legalization of marijuana, arguing that the US 196 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 2: has gone far too far and accepting and promoting the 197 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 2: use of weed. 198 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 6: The Times writes, quote, the unfortunate truth is that the 199 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 6: loosening of marijuana policies, especially the decision to legalize pot 200 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 6: without adequately regulating it, has led to worse outcomes than 201 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 6: many Americans expected. 202 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 2: All Right, So I'm not sure that's true. I don't 203 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 2: like inebriated people in public. I don't want people that 204 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 2: I can't drive driving, and I don't want anybody stoned 205 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 2: if they're, you know, working on anything that's important to me, 206 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 2: like my car. Having said that, I didn't legalize, I 207 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 2: didn't support the legalization of marijuana because I wanted society 208 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 2: to devolve. I supported the legalization of marijuana, because I 209 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 2: wanted people to be free to choose whatever kind of 210 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 2: recreational drug they wanted to do. Like it's hypocritical of 211 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 2: me to talk about Martiniz all the time and say, 212 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 2: but you know what, pots illegal and shame on you 213 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 2: for smoking wheed. If people want to smoke pot, then 214 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 2: they should smoke pot. Were we ever convinced that it 215 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 2: wasn't going to get people stoned? I mean, that's what 216 00:12:54,480 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 2: it does. It doesn't clear you, it sedates you or whatever. 217 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 2: I'm not a pot guy, so I'm not exactly sure 218 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 2: what the attraction is. I mean, I've tried it in college. 219 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 2: All you do is sit on the sofa and start 220 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 2: eating it. Like it really brings the party down in 221 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 2: my experience, so it wasn't my thing. I remember coming 222 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 2: back to the frat house and everybody's doing snowbongs because 223 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 2: it's the first snow and that's what you do. And 224 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 2: you know, you walk in and all the boys are 225 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 2: getting high. All right, guys, what are you doing? And 226 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 2: you know it's a couple of laughs, and then eventually 227 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 2: I'd walk back into the you know, the great room 228 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 2: of the fraternity house and they're just watching TV like 229 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 2: doing bomb hits, and I'm thinking, don't you guys want 230 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 2: to go out and do something? I mean, like, what 231 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 2: are you just going to hang out here? And that's 232 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 2: what they did. So I always knew that if we 233 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 2: made it legal and more accessible, then people would do 234 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 2: more of what they did in the fraternity house, and 235 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 2: that is just smoke and sit there. So I don't 236 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 2: know why the New York Times is surprised. 237 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 6: It is time to acknowledge reality and change course. The 238 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 6: Time says pot should be legal, but the government should 239 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 6: increase taxes on marijuana to discourage daily use. 240 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, no, no no. That is not 241 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 2: the way you discourage daily use. When you regulate and 242 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 2: tax it, it drives it underground and we go back to 243 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 2: buying pot from Jerome from upstairs. So that's not the solution. 244 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 2: So you mean to tell me that we're going to 245 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 2: have legal pot, but you're mad that people are using 246 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 2: legal pot, and so to discourage people from using pot, 247 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 2: you're going to make it on purpose expensive. So I 248 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 2: now have to go to that hippie girl who lives 249 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 2: on the corner. That's a you know, in many respects, 250 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 2: that's a perfect New York Times solution. We legalize pot, 251 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 2: and now everyone's smoking pot, and we think there's too 252 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 2: man many people smoking pot, so we're going to tax 253 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 2: it to get you to spend your last dime smoking pots. 254 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 6: Studies show today's pot is much more potent, addictive, and 255 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 6: harmful than previously thought. 256 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 2: Wow, that's the New York Times. Potent, addictive and harmful. 257 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 2: Like that's the stuff I heard from the Christian Coalition. 258 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 2: Like the Christian Coalition were one of the big anti 259 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 2: medicinal marijuana people. I remember this in the early nineties. 260 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 2: It was like nineteen ninety four, and the Secretary of 261 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 2: Health and Human Services was a woman by the name 262 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 2: of Donna Shalela, and she was in the Clinton administration, 263 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 2: and she was opposed. The Clinton administration, as a matter 264 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 2: of policy, was opposed to the medicinal use of marijuana. 265 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 2: And she would make all these arguments that, oh, there 266 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 2: is synthetic marinol and you can get it from the doctor, 267 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 2: and there's no reason for you to buy marijuana, and 268 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 2: we don't need to legalize it, and it's bad for society. 269 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 2: And I thought, you're a Democrat and a hippie and 270 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 2: I'm a Republican. But I'm full freedom, and you're telling 271 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 2: me that people should not be free to smoke their 272 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 2: own pot. But by the a synthetic version of DAC 273 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 2: from a pharmaceutical company. That's amazing. But I remember then saying, 274 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 2: certainly for medicine, people should be able to do what 275 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 2: they want. It's their own body. But now they're saying 276 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 2: that we made pot too strong and people can handle. 277 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 6: It and harmful then previously thought. According to the National 278 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 6: Survey on Drug Use, nearly eighteen million Americans now report 279 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 6: using marijuana twenty one plus days a month. 280 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 2: Is that a lot? Twenty one? Let's see, I mean 281 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 2: for February that would be a lot. Yeah, that's a lot. 282 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 2: That's more than just Friday nights. What's going on out there? 283 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 2: Can't be smoking pot all that much. 284 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 6: Million Americans now report using marijuana twenty one plus days 285 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 6: a month. That has skyrocketed from less than a million 286 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 6: in nineteen ninety two. 287 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 4: Wow. 288 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 2: So yeah, the days that the Clinton administration was fighting 289 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 2: the medicial use of marijuana, it's increased daily use by 290 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 2: a factor of twenty six. 291 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 4: Wow. Well, there you have it. 292 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 2: No wonder nobody's drinking booze anymore. 293 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 294 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 2: The New York Times editorial board shifting its stance on marijuana, 295 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 2: saying the United States has a marijuana problem. There's a 296 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 2: comment on social media. Well, no, this is from the Times. 297 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,479 Speaker 2: One of the biggest reasons people stopped drinking is because 298 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 2: they took up marijuana. Eighteen million Americans are smoking we 299 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 2: twenty one days a month. This is a full blown 300 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 2: addiction crisis that even the New York Times now says 301 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 2: is an addiction. It's time for America to admit it 302 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 2: has a marijuana problem. So that's not really fair. You 303 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 2: can't say people gave up alcohol to smoke more pot, 304 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 2: and therefore pot is bad. Like alcohol is a sedative, right, 305 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 2: you don't do shots before you go to work. Healthy 306 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 2: people don't, right, So like, that's not really fair. If 307 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 2: people decided to switch from whatever they're doing, partying, celebrating life, relaxing, socializing, 308 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 2: self medicating, whatever, whatever you claim to be doing with it, 309 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 2: whatever the it is, if you put down the shot 310 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 2: glass and pick up a vape pen, it's even money. 311 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 2: So I don't understand the outrage here, and I don't 312 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 2: understand the addiction problem. So here's where I define things, 313 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 2: and you know me Lou Penrose rule number four. Words matter. 314 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 2: Addiction is a thing. Addiction is a word. Words matter. 315 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 2: That you are using and enjoying marijuana more frequently than 316 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 2: the New York Times thought you would be does not 317 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 2: make you an addict. You can't use your way to addiction. 318 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 2: You are addicted or you're not. Now you could get 319 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 2: comfortable in using any substance, and uh, that's just a 320 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 2: real distraction, and you're killing time. If it's not healthy 321 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,959 Speaker 2: for you. It's not healthy for you. It doesn't mean 322 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,239 Speaker 2: you're and it's an addiction. So you've gotta be very, 323 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 2: very careful with the terms here. So if the New 324 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 2: York Times is just angry that people are smoking pot 325 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 2: far more frequently than they would be drinking, as far 326 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 2: as I'm concerned, if you get up and go to 327 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 2: work the next day, you're good to go, as far 328 00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 2: as I'm concerned. 329 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 5: One thing smoothing from hind to Beach to Nashville, Tennessee. 330 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 5: As I miss the cannabis. They have camp here, but 331 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 5: the hemp is really weird. It's not cannabis. 332 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 2: No, I don't think. I think hemp is the stuff 333 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 2: that they may cloth out of. 334 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 3: I'm good with the changes, but we need Lou Penrose 335 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 3: on the station every day too. 336 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, Yeah, Lou is a tax on 337 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 2: nureer one? 338 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 3: Is that pretty much the same thing as the soon 339 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 3: attacks they were trying to put on people. 340 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 7: And just wondering why they're going to start taxing you know, 341 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 7: pizza and taco bell, more and more. 342 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 2: Where does it end? Right? And that's that's a hell 343 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 2: of a position for the New York Times to take 344 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 2: that this is really bad for you, so we need 345 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 2: to stop you from doing it, So we need to 346 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 2: consider imposing attacks. 347 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 6: The pot should be legal, but the government should increase 348 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 6: taxes on marijuana to discourage daily use. 349 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 2: No oh no, no, no, no no no. That's called 350 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 2: a sin tax, and you can't be committing a sin 351 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 2: it's legal. This is not the Deep South. We don't 352 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 2: have blue laws in this country. We don't live in 353 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 2: a theocracy. I don't need God telling me what to do, 354 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 2: and I don't need the government being God's policemen. Like 355 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 2: that's such a wrong position for the New York Times 356 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 2: to say a lot of people are smoking a lot 357 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 2: of pot and pot's real strong these days, and therefore 358 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 2: we don't want people using pot that much, so we 359 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 2: are going to increase the taxes on purpose, just to punish. 360 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 2: Where is this new attitude coming from? This from what's 361 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 2: supposed to be a progressive newspaper. And again, I'm not 362 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 2: a progressive, but I do have a strong sense of freedom. 363 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 2: You're allowed to do whatever you want. You're grown ass adult, 364 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 2: like it's up to you to get yourself out of 365 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 2: bed and to work and earn a living. What you 366 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 2: do on your own free time is your own business. 367 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't want you telling me what 368 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 2: to do, so I don't want you telling I'm not 369 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 2: gonna be telling you what to do. And I honestly, 370 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 2: I don't know where the outrage is coming from that 371 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 2: it's so much stronger. Everybody knew that marijuana was strong, 372 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 2: and I'm I was always told that it's way healthier 373 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 2: than the alcohol. I was told that alcohol is poisoned. 374 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 2: I was told, and everybody even says it, like, I 375 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 2: know people that go to the gym and are in 376 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 2: far better shape than I am and smoke marijuana all 377 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 2: the time, and they tell me, You know, Lou your gains. 378 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 2: You'd be you would have a better workout on Monday 379 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 2: if you didn't drink so much on the weekend. And 380 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 2: I say, well, I mean I don't drink so much 381 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,479 Speaker 2: on the weekend. I don't drink on school nights. Uh. 382 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 2: But the weekend is where you don't have to wake 383 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 2: up the next day. But yeah, you feel like hell 384 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 2: on Monday. But that's what Mondays are for. And they're like, yeah, 385 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 2: but if you didn't drink alcohol at all, that poison 386 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 2: woul get out of your system and you would hit 387 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 2: the gym on Monday morning like it was the best 388 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 2: day of the week. Look at me, and I see 389 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 2: and they smell like pot looking. So you're not doing 390 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 2: anything differently, But maybe you are. I don't know. It's 391 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 2: just not for me, not my thing. I don't like 392 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 2: that smell. You do whatever you want. I don't want 393 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 2: you telling me that I'm drinking too much, and I 394 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 2: won't tell you that you're smoking too much. So take 395 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 2: that New York Times all right, when we come back. 396 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 2: There's a dating problem in the high school. They have 397 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 2: a term for it here, a dating recession. High School 398 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 2: dating has fallen fifty percent in the last forty years. 399 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 2: Back in the day, people used to date in high 400 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 2: school a lot. That's where dating started. Back in the day, 401 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 2: people were done dating after high school and college and 402 00:23:54,680 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 2: we're choosing fiancees. But times have changed now everybody's still, 403 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 2: you know, with boyfriends and girlfriends using those terms in 404 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 2: their late twenties and early thirties. No one's getting married, 405 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 2: and back in high school when it is the right 406 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 2: time to date, nobody is dating at all, like at all. 407 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 2: Forty six percent of high school seniors said they ever 408 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 2: went out on a date. A majority, fifty four percent 409 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 2: of high school seniors never went on a date. They 410 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 2: don't even know what a date is. So we'll talk 411 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 2: about the social implications of not understanding what a date 412 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 2: is for a high school student. That's all coming up next. 413 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 414 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 2: So Tim Conway Junior taking over his show, but not 415 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 2: till Tuesday.

That's the official number. 418 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 2: And uh, that's up from a year ago.

It's up three million from last year's 421 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 2: Super Bowl. Was it that big of a party? Foosh? 422 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 2: What did you did? You did you super Bowl? 423 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 4: At a super Bowl? But I did not party, not 424 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 4: at all. 425 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 2: I mean like not even like one person at the 426 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 2: house or you'd. 427 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 4: Enjoy No, no, yeah, no. It was just me and my dad. 428 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 4: We ordered a large pizza. Just just chilled. That was it. 429 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 4: Nothing crazy, okay, right, nothing crazy. 430 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 2: I mean I went to a large party and I 431 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 2: had uh, gray goose and soda all night. And let's see, 432 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 2: somebody made ribs. They were really good, fell right off 433 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 2: the bone. I don't ever eat ribs, and I was 434 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 2: interested to see how that was going to mix with 435 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 2: the grey goose and soda. And then I think at 436 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 2: that point, you know, once you start drinking, then everything 437 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 2: looks good. And whoever put out that trim cocktail, that 438 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 2: cocktail sauce. 439 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 7: Was really good, and I think that'll have people of 440 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,959 Speaker 7: a certain age. You still you use that as an 441 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 7: excuse to just I mean, you just use the excuse 442 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 7: to just get down. 443 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 4: So that's why they just take the day off, but. 444 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 2: To miss work. First off, we're on the West coast, 445 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 2: So the Super Bowl ended like six o'clock before then, 446 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 2: I before when I would even have dinner. I get 447 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 2: it if you're on the East Coast, but even there 448 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 2: at nine o'clock, you can't, you know, whoop it up 449 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 2: till nine ten o'clock at night and still get up 450 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 2: and go to work the next day? Like this isn't that? 451 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 2: I mean, that wasn't. 452 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 4: So much of a blowout? I don't know. 453 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 2: Fourth of July is usually a bigger one to get 454 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 2: ready for the next day because you have to wait 455 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 2: for it to get dark and really your party, like 456 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 2: Fourth of July is a tough holiday because it's a barbecue, 457 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,199 Speaker 2: which means you're eating and drinking at noon. Like the 458 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 2: hardest part of the Fourth of July is waiting for 459 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 2: noon to have that first beer, because that feels about right. 460 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 2: You really feel like a loser if you're drinking in 461 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 2: the ten eleven o'clock hour, unless you're getting champagne mimosas, 462 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 2: then it's okay. But you know, for those of us 463 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 2: that are responsible and you know you're gonna be up 464 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 2: late and dealing with fireworks, right, you don't really want 465 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 2: to crack that first can of beer until around noon 466 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 2: and then you feel like a responsible person. But now 467 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 2: you've been drinking from noon all the way until like 468 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 2: eight nine o'clock until it starts getting dark, and then 469 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 2: you get to right then you break out the fireworks. 470 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 7: All I gotta say is that's the best day for 471 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 7: uber because you got people parting during the day and 472 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 7: then they take it all the way through the night. 473 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 7: I mean all the way through the night, all the 474 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 7: ways like that. 475 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 2: I could see taking it taking a day off after 476 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 2: the fourth of July if it lands on a workday. 477 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 2: But super Bowl, I mean, it's not that how many 478 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 2: chicken wings could people be eating? Like how upset is 479 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 2: your stomach? And how smash can you get? And like 480 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 2: I said, the game, like World Series games go later 481 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 2: than the super Bowl does. So everyone's excited because next 482 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 2: year the super Bowl coincides with President's Day weekend. And 483 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 2: I know the NFL have been calling for this for 484 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 2: a long time. Well, there've been calls for the NFL 485 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 2: to align with President's Day. The President's Day is always 486 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 2: in February. Super Bowl is always the second weekend, in 487 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 2: a second Sunday in February, and a lot of people 488 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 2: have said Hey, guys, there's an opportunity three day weekend 489 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 2: always falling into February make the Super Bowl President's Day 490 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 2: weekend all the time, and the NFL has resisted that. 491 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 2: But next year in twenty twenty seven, it's going to 492 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 2: work out that way. Also going to be Valentine's Day, 493 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 2: so it's gonna be Valentine's Day, super Bowl Sunday and 494 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 2: Monday off. So everyone's excited because Wow, I can really 495 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 2: get smashed. I'm thinking how much partying goes on during 496 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 2: these Super Bowl parties and when it's like, when the 497 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 2: game's over, time to clean up, Like nobody lingers that 498 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 2: long after the Super Bowl. So I I gotta say 499 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 2: three million Americans increased in the number of call in 500 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,239 Speaker 2: sick people in the country. That's pretty lame. Like my 501 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 2: parents drank wine and played cards every Sunday night of 502 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 2: my life. Later then that then the Super Bowl Trophy 503 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 2: presentation ceremony, they're up ten eleven o'clock sometimes midnight with 504 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 2: company coming over. Like the company would come over and 505 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 2: they would lit up when they came over, but they 506 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 2: would swing by coming back from somebody else's house just 507 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 2: because the lights were on. Oh I saw and Josie's 508 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 2: lights were on. I wanted to shoot y'all all doing. 509 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 2: And then they go in to liquor cabin and break 510 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 2: out cordials on a Sunday night. It wasn't the super Bowl, 511 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 2: it wasn't a holiday, it was just Sunday. And I 512 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 2: can hear them downstairs. I'm trying to go to sleep. 513 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 2: I gotta go to school tomorrow, and they're talk loud, 514 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 2: smoking cigarettes and drinking Groppa. And then they would get 515 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 2: up the next day and go to work on scaffolding, 516 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 2: like putting people's chimneys together.
