1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: It's Camp I Am six and you're listening to the 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 2: Story we had earlier is that the students at USC 4 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 2: reported finding maggots and stink bugs in the food in 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 2: the dining areas in the campus cafeteria. So they posted 6 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 2: photos and videos and things like that and their social media, 7 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 2: and so now the school is scrambling. So we asked 8 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 2: the question, what's the grossest thing that you've ever eaten? 9 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 2: Could be out of a dare, could be on accident, 10 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 2: whatever it is, what is the grossest thing you've ever eaten? 11 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 2: And the obvious joke is my wife's cooking doesn't come. 12 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 2: So we got a few more talkbacks on that. Hit 13 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 2: us up on the talkback as well. If you're on 14 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app, just hit that talk back button and 15 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,919 Speaker 2: let's see to record your answer, and if it's good, 16 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 2: we'll play it on the air. 17 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 3: I've got a few more. We'll get to it a second. 18 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 2: But I did want to get to this, and that 19 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 2: is that we've been hearing an awful lot about affordability, affordability, affordability, affordability. 20 00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 2: What affordability really means is main street economy. That's it, 21 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 2: main street economy. Whether it's low wages and I can't 22 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 2: afford things, or whether it's inflation and I can't afford things, 23 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: It's all about main street economy, kitchen table economics. The 24 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 2: buzzword right now is affordability. Affordability is out of reach. 25 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 2: Affordability is out of reach, affordability. 26 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 4: Now. 27 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 2: The President is upset because people keep talking about affordability. 28 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 2: It doesn't like that word, mostly becase it's getting pinned 29 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: on him and he's not a fan of it. Here 30 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 2: here's a report from ABC seven with him talking about it. 31 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,639 Speaker 5: With less than a year ago until the midterms, President 32 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 5: Trump and Pennsylvania taking on a major issue for Americans, 33 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:39,919 Speaker 5: the cost of living. 34 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 6: I have no higher priority than making America affordable again. 35 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 4: That's what we're going to do. 36 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 5: It comes as a new Reuters Ipsos poll shows fifty 37 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 5: six percent of Americans disapprove of how the President is 38 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 5: handling the cost of living. Thirty one percent approve. The 39 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 5: price of groceries are up from a year ago, as 40 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 5: well as housing, rent, health insurance, and household energy. 41 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 3: Who's improving it? Who's this? Thirty percent that are like, no, 42 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 3: everything's great. 43 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 2: Now that's people just responding to a pole, and they 44 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 2: know that the pole is potentially going to make their 45 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: president look bad, and they go, no, I don't want 46 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: him to look bad. I'm gonna say he's doing great. 47 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: But either that or you just have so much money 48 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: you don't care. In what we call this K shaped economy, 49 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: which means the people on top have plenty, but the 50 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: people who are in the middle and below don't have anything. 51 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 2: They're the ones that are really struggling. But if you've 52 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 2: got money, your stocks are doing great. Your four oh 53 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 2: one k is looking dynamite. I just pulled mine up 54 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 2: today and I was shocked that it keeps going up. 55 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 2: And I think, I think, how is this going up? 56 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: Do not go to the grocery store and the eggs 57 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 2: are still high, and they're not like they were a 58 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 2: year or two ago, but eggs are still high. 59 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 3: Beef is outrageous, it's crazy. 60 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: And even some of those other meats are getting more 61 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: expensive now too, thanks to bird flu and these other things. 62 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 2: And so these are all the challenges that any president 63 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: would be facing. Any president would face things like the 64 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 2: beef shortage that whether it's the screwworm and four and beef, 65 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 2: or whether it's the drought that hurt our beef herds 66 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 2: here in the United States. That's not the president's fault. 67 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 2: It's not the president's fault. You have bird flu. It 68 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,839 Speaker 2: wasn't President Biden's fault that bird flu was wiping out 69 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 2: flocks and driving up the price of chickens and eggs. 70 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 2: But it doesn't matter because we look to say who 71 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: is responsible for this, and it's the person on the top. 72 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 2: Like Truman said, the buck stops here. Whether the president 73 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: has anything to do with the dilemma or not, we 74 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: rely on that leader to fix it right. And that's 75 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 2: what President Trump ran on. And I think it's entirely 76 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 2: fair to say you said you were going to fix things. 77 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 2: You said you had the ability to fix things right, 78 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: and they're not. 79 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 3: They're not being fixed. 80 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 2: And so when people say affordability, I can't afford things, 81 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 2: and they go, you said you were. 82 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 3: Gonna fix it. Where's the fix. 83 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 7: This is? 84 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: It's not unlike anything else in our lives. It's like, uh, 85 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 2: it's like, well, you gotta you gotta a door that sticks, right, 86 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 2: You got a door that sticks in your house and 87 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 2: your wife says, this door is sticking is driving me crazy. 88 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 2: I'm gonna fix it. She goes, You better. The next 89 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 2: day she comes out and the door is sticking. She goes, 90 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 2: I thought you said you were gonna fix this. You 91 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 2: know I'm gonna. I'm going to. I'm going to. Next day, 92 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 2: door is still sticking. You said you were gonna fix this. 93 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 2: I'm gonna fix it. I'm gonna fix it. Look, it's 94 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: not your fault that the house is settling, or that 95 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 2: the humidity is expanding the wood. It's not your fault 96 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 2: why the door is sticking. But you said you were 97 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 2: gonna fix it. Why isn't it fixed? Okay, Then the 98 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 2: question is if you do go to fix it. This 99 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: is like me being the handyman at the house. I 100 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 2: tell my wife I'm gonna fix something. She goes, You're 101 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 2: only gonna make it worse. Whenever you touch something, it 102 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 2: just goes to crap. You're gonna make it worse. What's 103 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 2: the opposite of the Midas touch? What is everything Mightas 104 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 2: touch turned to gold? Everything I touch turns to crap. 105 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 2: So I go, I'm gonna fix it. 106 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 3: And so what do I do? 107 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 2: I take the door off the hinges and I start 108 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 2: trying to adjust the hinges, and then I try to 109 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: put the door back on. The door doesn't go on 110 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 2: the hinges, and somehow I mounted it upside down. She goes, what. 111 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 3: Are you doing. You go, I'm fixing it. She goes, 112 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 3: you made it worse. That's tariffs. 113 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 2: So the president says, I'm gonna fix it, and he starts, 114 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 2: he starts tinkering with the terrorists. 115 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 3: He starts trying to apply these terrifts. He goes, I'm 116 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 3: gonna fix it. 117 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna change our I'm gonna change the relationship, 118 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 2: the trade relationships with other countries, and I'm gonna make 119 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 2: everything better. And it's not getting any better. It's getting worse. 120 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 2: And he says, no, no, no, but it's going to get better. 121 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 2: Just just bear with me. It's gonna get better. It's 122 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: gonna get better. It's gonna get better. And thirty one 123 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 2: percent of the country says, no, no, it's gonna get better. 124 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 2: We believe him, it's gonna get better. But more than 125 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 2: half the country says, it's not. You mounted the door 126 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 2: upside down. In my metaphor, and it's like, my wife goes, 127 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 2: what do you do when you put the door on 128 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 2: upside down. Now it's worse, and I go, it's all 129 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 2: part of the process. I'm just sizing it up. I 130 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 2: gotta try to figure it this out so that I 131 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 2: can mount it the right way, and then the door 132 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 2: is not gonna anymore. But eventually my wife is gonna say, 133 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 2: you keep screwing this up. It got worse. I'm leaving 134 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 2: you for your brother. That may be extreme. It could 135 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 2: just be that your wife says, you're screwing this up. 136 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: It's getting worse. I'm calling a handyman. But in the 137 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 2: case of politics, you gotta get it fixed fast, because 138 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 2: then wife goes, I'm giving up on you altogether. In 139 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 2: the case of politics, you go. You said you were 140 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 2: gonna fix it. You tried something to fix it, it 141 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 2: made it worse. We're gonna find somebody else. People are struggling. 142 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 3: This is Chuck Schumer, who of course is electric boy. 143 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 2: They can to afford basic needs, and Donald Trump keeps 144 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 2: making fun of it by calling it all a giant hoax. 145 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 5: Trump last night blaming President Biden for the current cost 146 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 5: of living. 147 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 3: But that's our message. 148 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,679 Speaker 8: They gave you high prices, they gave you the highest 149 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 8: inflation in history, and we're giving you what those prices 150 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 8: down rapidly overall? 151 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 2: Yeah not not now. Gas prices are down. Gas prices 152 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 2: are down nationwide. Gas prices are getting lower. And that's good, 153 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 2: But how long are you gonna keep I mean, when 154 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 2: you say this is Biden's fault, that works on the 155 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 2: campaign trail because he was the guy on top, and 156 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: everybody says, yeah, yeah, we're blaming Biden. We expected him 157 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 2: to fix this. It's getting worse, and so what do 158 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: they do? They replace him? But now you've been there 159 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 2: a year and you said you were going to change 160 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 2: things on day one, and we're not feeling it. 161 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 9: Overall, inflation rate has gone up since President Trump took 162 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 9: office in January. 163 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, what were we down to two point two? Two 164 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 2: point three percent inflation? We were hearing, you know, that's 165 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 2: still slightly above what the what the the Feds are 166 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 2: aiming at. But we're getting back to we're getting close 167 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 2: to normal. Now we're back up to three. We don't 168 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 2: really know if it's going any higher than that because 169 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: we shut down the government and then they stopped giving 170 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 2: us reports because they look bad. 171 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 9: Now sitting at three percent, that's the last number we 172 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 9: saw for September, remember the government shut down, said that 173 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 9: it means that we don't have the most recent economic data. 174 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 9: That's sort of trickling in. 175 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 5: Top officials of the Fed have shown publicer's agreement over 176 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 5: a possible cut as inflation has gone up in recent 177 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 5: months and hiring has slowed down. 178 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, but they did just they did just cut it. 179 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 2: So now you've got the Democrats are going to keep 180 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: hammering Trump on this affordability thing. They go, this is 181 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 2: our opening. They're gonna hammer him on this. And in 182 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 2: the meantime, you've got a very central figure in California 183 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 2: politics who has been for years, who's seeing poll numbers 184 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 2: that are climbing, and what's he doing. He is, He's 185 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 2: tweeting insults, he's tweeting memes, and he's releasing a book. 186 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 2: It may not surprise you to find out that many 187 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 2: Californians are rolling their eyes and yet poll numbers keep climbing. 188 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 2: You'll find out about this next Chris Meryl. 189 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 10: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI 190 00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 10: AM six. 191 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 3: Forty students at us see. 192 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 2: You say that they've got stink bugs and maggots in 193 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 2: the food of the dining halls. The university is responding 194 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 2: and trying to get to the bottom of it, and 195 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 2: they obviously are thinking, uh, what in the world is happening. 196 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 2: To their credit, they're not coming out and saying the 197 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 2: kids are all liars. They're saying, look, we're investigating, we're 198 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 2: taking a look at it. And if you know, we've 199 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 2: got a high the safety record, we've got a ratings 200 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 2: for the from the health department. We take these things 201 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 2: very seriously, so I gotta give them credit for it. 202 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 2: But there's a lot of social media that's going around 203 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 2: that's showing videos and photos of these of these bugs, 204 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 2: so basically, you know, what in the world is happening. 205 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 2: Their reports on these are that the group that's reporting 206 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 2: that there's an issue have vetted the students and that 207 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 2: they believe the students. But the university is going, look, 208 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 2: we're trying to get to the bottom of it. We 209 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 2: don't have any evidence that shows that there's bugs. So anyway, 210 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 2: that's what's happening right now. Sparks the question, what is 211 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 2: the grossest thing that you have ever eaten? A mosquito? 212 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 3: And I tasted other people's blood e. 213 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 2: On accident, of course, Oh, you were killing mosquito and 214 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 2: that just like splatters and their blood in it, like 215 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 2: it just ate.

Oh that could 235 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 3: have been. 236 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 2: That could have been when I was When I was 237 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 2: a teenager, I worked at a grocery store for summer 238 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 2: and one of my jobs was that if the milk 239 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 2: on the shelf had expired, I had to take it 240 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 2: out back and dump it in the sewer. 241 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 3: Dream. I don't know if that's even legal now, but whatever, that's. 242 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 2: What we did, and I can't It surprised me because 243 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 2: in my house, my parents would just they would just 244 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 2: drink expired milk if it was They'd say, now, if 245 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 2: it's less than a week expired, it's still good. That's 246 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 2: a sell by date. That's not an expiration date. It's fine. 247 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 2: Let me tell you. After working at the grocery store, 248 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 2: that was an expiration date because we had stuff that 249 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 2: would be like a day old, and I would dump 250 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 2: out the milk and it would chunk out of there, 251 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 2: like like cottage cheese coming out of the milk cargo. 252 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 7: Yeah. 253 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 2: I have a feeling that if we actually knew what 254 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 2: everything was that we were putting inside, is we just 255 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 2: we'd eat vitamins and astronaut food. 256 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 3: We wouldn't go near most things. That's a good point. 257 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 2: Maybe instead of taking to his appetite, I should just 258 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 2: investigate the foods that I'm eating. 259 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 3: And that I would just not want to eat them anymore. 260 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 2: I dread finding out about things, because you always find 261 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 2: out about things that are prone to have worms or 262 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 2: bugs in them. Yes, and I just I try not 263 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 2: to look anything up anymore. No, that's a good plan. 264 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 2: I also don't inspect my food before I eat it. 265 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 2: I'd just rather not know. I mean, you open up, 266 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 2: you open up some hamburger that all looks like worms anyway, 267 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 2: don't look too closely. Yeah, if you taste something that 268 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 2: doesn't sound right, deal with it in the moment. 269 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 3: Just deal with it. 270 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 2: Don't borrow trouble ahead of time. That mosquito tastes bloody. 271 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 2: But you know what, I'm not even gonna question it. 272 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna if it's a condiment. 273 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 3: That was good. That was good. 274 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 2: I was watching John Cobalt. He was going off on 275 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom's approval rating is doing really well 276 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 2: right now, it's like fifty four percent. He keeps going up. 277 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: It's up ten percent. And he was beside himself, as 278 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 2: one might imagine. And now Newsom is out with a 279 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 2: new book. He's got his new autobiography out, and then 280 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 2: he was pitching it. So Newsom cut his own commercial, 281 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 2: you should buy my book. All the music is great? 282 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 2: How about that? 283 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 6: This? This is not the book you'd expect me to write. 284 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 6: It's a story about the people that form well better 285 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 6: or worse, make us who we are, made me who 286 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 6: I am, the hopes that drive us for the failures 287 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 6: that send us reeling, and the immense burden of grief 288 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 6: and regret. Nobody's family is easy, nobody's story is tidy, 289 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 6: and I'm no different. 290 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 3: God do I not want to read this book? 291 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 6: A lot of people look at me in the stark 292 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 6: white shirt, the blue suit, and yeah, the gelled hair, 293 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 6: and they think, oh, I know this guy. I know 294 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 6: this guy better than I ever want to know him. 295 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 4: I get it. 296 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 6: This is a story of the kid always felt like 297 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 6: he wasn't quite enough. This is a truly vulnerable book. 298 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 6: It was incredibly hard, even painful, to write. 299 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, nothing from Gavin Newsom seems authentic. 300 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 2: Maybe everything he's saying is totally true, But it's the 301 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 2: suit and the gelled hair and the slick smile and 302 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 2: the tan telling us about how vulnerable he is. If 303 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 2: you have to tell me how vulnerable you are, I 304 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 2: don't think that you're being vulnerable. It just it seems 305 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 2: so disingenuous. You know what it feels like. It feels 306 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 2: like jd Vance writing his book. 307 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 4: Right. 308 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 2: Jadie Vance wrote that book, the hill Billy Elogy, and 309 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 2: he was like telling people about being raised by his 310 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 2: grandmother and the Appalachians and things. 311 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 3: And then. 312 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 2: Did he reveal in there that he was making love 313 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 2: to the couch? Is that where that rumor came from? 314 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 2: Nothing about the eyeliner in the butt. 315 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 3: I don't think I don't think you touched on that one. Okay. 316 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 2: So this feels a lot like Gavin Newsom is putting 317 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 2: out like a Beverly Hillbilly elogy, where like, I've had 318 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 2: a really tough life. 319 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 3: It's been so difficult. 320 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 2: I mean one time I went to school and I 321 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 2: barely had enough money for every lunch into the cafeteria. 322 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 2: You're doing, Harvey Firestein, that's not medicine. I didn't have anything. 323 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 2: My parents once sent me to school with less than 324 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 2: a thousand dollars in my pocket. 325 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 3: Yeah. 326 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 2: I know that's not his story, but it just doesn't 327 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 2: feel who doesn't feel genuine. In the meantime, though his 328 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 2: approval writing is going way up. 329 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 8: The book release comes as Newsom is writing an answer 330 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 8: from news nation, I'm ty trump bump. His attacks of 331 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 8: the president on social media, his forceful pushback on immigration raids, 332 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 8: along with his successful November campaign for Prop fifty redistrict 333 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 8: in California to counter republic and redissearching in other states, 334 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 8: have positioned Newsome as Trump's biggest political opponent, and it 335 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 8: is paying off. According to new polling from the Public 336 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 8: Policy Institute of California, Newsom's favorability rating has surged by 337 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 8: ten percentage points just since June. 338 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 3: Wow. 339 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's it's up. It's up Bigley, it's up 340 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 2: way big, which is really good for him because you know, 341 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 2: he's done next year. No, he's done in Yeah, he's 342 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 2: done next year. Right, he's done next year, and then 343 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 2: he's got two years to ramp up to run for 344 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 2: the White House. 345 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 3: And it's pretty easy. 346 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 2: To explain why he's putting the why he's putting the 347 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 2: book out, and why why is his favorability has gone up? 348 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 3: Right? 349 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 2: I mean, Trump's approval rating on the economy is down 350 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 2: to thirty one percent. You heard that in the last segment, 351 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 2: and that's the lowest point across both of his terms. 352 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 2: So his approval rating, especially when it comes to the 353 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 2: economy is way down. No issue is bigger to the 354 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 2: American voter than the economy is. James carb said, is 355 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 2: the economy stupid? Right, So it's pretty easy to explain. 356 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 2: People are frustrated, they're exhausted, and in our world, we 357 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 2: blame the president, whomever that may be, from whichever party. 358 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 2: We blame them for the high prices, we blame them 359 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 2: for drooping employment, we blame them for general anxiety. And 360 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 2: Newsom is front and centers of the is the face 361 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 2: of the not Trump campaign, and so the approval rating 362 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 2: that you're getting isn't so much a reflection of people's 363 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 2: feelings on the governor as much as it's a reflection 364 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 2: of their dissatisfaction with the president who claimed he was 365 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 2: going to fix the affordability issue. So it's it's not 366 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 2: a coincidence that Trump's approval rating is so low at 367 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 2: the same time Newsom's is rising. 368 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 3: From the talkbacks. We have a creedy leftists by the 369 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 3: name of Ronor. 370 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 2: He's telling everybody everything is inflated. 371 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 3: No, no, nope, yep, did I say the fake news? 372 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 3: There you go?

I don't want to. 385 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 2: You ever wonder what it would take for one parent 386 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 2: to stay at home instead of trying to juggle childcare 387 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 2: and work. There's a number that the people in southern 388 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 2: California are crunching to figure out what it would take 389 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 2: to stay home. And it might surprise you what it 390 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 2: takes to make that choice. 391 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 10: Next, Chris Meryl, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on 392 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 10: de Maya from KFI AM sixty. 393 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 3: Yeah.

A dude branch, 445 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 2: dude ranch, not Jackson Hole. They won't let us get 446 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 2: close to a place like that. Probably Casper. And because 447 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 2: I can't name another city in Wyoming, that's it. I've 448 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 2: just topped out.

And 460 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 2: then they bring us out a plate of fried Rocky 461 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 2: Mountain oysters. I think I would try it.

Do you expect me to insult 555 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 2: the entire nation of France? Of course I'd try them, 556 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 2: but you won't. You'll you're fine with insulting the entire 557 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 2: state of Wyoming by not eating Rocky mountin oysters. 558 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 3: I just, uh, how do I put this and not 559 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 3: get fired? 560 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 4: Now? 561 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 3: I don't? Okay. 562 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 2: So I was reading the story Fox eleven had the 563 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 2: story about how much you got to make in order 564 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 2: to be a stay at home parent, and I thought 565 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 2: that numbers as high as I expected. Maybe I'm just 566 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 2: off my rocker Californians how the second highest income needed 567 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 2: to keep a parent at home, you would need to 568 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 2: make ninety seven thousand, six hundred and fifty six dollars 569 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 2: to have to live on one income. That really surprised me, 570 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 2: because when I think of affordability and I think of 571 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 2: the cost of rent. Of course that's California as a 572 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 2: whole state too, So I guess take that for what 573 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 2: it's worth, probably a lot more in southern California or 574 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 2: in the Bay Area versus you know, Bakersfield, whatever. Right, 575 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 2: that surprised me. This is really interesting to me too, though. 576 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 2: If both parents are working. This is if you're a parent, right, 577 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 2: this is if you're raising kids. If both parents are 578 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 2: working and you got one kid, you would need to 579 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 2: earn one hundred and fifteen eight hundred fourteen dollars to 580 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 2: cover everything. In other words, another eighteen thousand dollars a year. 581 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 2: That's what child care is costing out. Eighteen thousand dollars 582 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 2: a year. Isn't that wild? 583 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 3: Oh? Here we go, La County. Oh, this isn't too 584 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 3: bad either, La County. 585 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 2: A family needs to earn ninety nine thousand dollars a 586 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 2: year for one parent to stay at home without causing 587 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 2: financial strain for basic living expenses. Totally straight with you. 588 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 2: That seems low to me. Maybe it's just in my 589 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,239 Speaker 2: lifestyle is more expensive, but that just I mean, if 590 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 2: my wife didn't have a good job, I don't know. 591 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 2: I don't know what I would be doing. Thank God 592 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 2: I've got her. She's good with money and makes a 593 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 2: makes a good living. She lets me chase this silly dream. 594 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 2: But I I can't imagine just trying to live on 595 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 2: her income alone. And we don't even have any kids. 596 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 2: For Pete's say, our kids are grown. I can't imagine 597 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 2: trying to raise kids on less than one hundred thousand 598 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 2: dollars a year. The dream of a stay at home 599 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 2: parent is sharply limited by housing and childcare costs in 600 00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 2: southern California is and for most families, you gotta two 601 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 2: paychecks just to break human. So what's happening is people 602 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,239 Speaker 2: are making sacrifices and they're saying, Okay, we want to 603 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 2: have a parent at home. We don't want to pay 604 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 2: for childcare. It's important to us to have a stay 605 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 2: at home parent, whether that's nuclear family, maybe you've got homeschooling, 606 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 2: whatever it is. If you're doing it, and you're making 607 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,479 Speaker 2: those sacrifices. God bless you, really. I mean, that is 608 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 2: so great that you're able to be there for your kids, 609 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 2: and I think your kids are going to be better 610 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 2: adjusted as a result of it. But man, what are 611 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 2: the sacrifices that you're making? Because if your rent, I mean, 612 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:39,959 Speaker 2: if you're renting a place, I mean, what's rent like 613 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 2: four grand a month? 614 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 4: Right? 615 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 2: So I mean if you're making one hundred grand a 616 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 2: year and your take home is, then what eighty plus 617 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 2: all the other taxes that you end up paying. I 618 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 2: always figure about a third of your paycheck goes toward 619 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 2: the government some in some way, shape or form, property. 620 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 3: Taxes, sales taxes, in taxes. 621 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 2: Right, So right there, you're down below seventy thousand dollars. 622 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 2: And if you're paying four grand a month in rent, 623 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 2: maybe you're paying you know, maybe your rents a little 624 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 2: bit less, which is great. 625 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 3: But even if it's three grand. 626 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 2: A month in rent, that's thirty six thousand dollars a year, 627 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 2: which means more than half of your paycheck is going 628 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 2: to rent. So that leaves you with like thirty five grand. 629 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 2: I'm using rough numbers obviously, for those of you that 630 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 2: are quick on math at least with like thirty five 631 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 2: grand a year to survive on us three grand a month. 632 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 2: I spend more than that myself, which my wife fails 633 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 2: at me all the time. 634 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 3: She's like, have you seen the credit card bill? 635 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 2: It's outrageous? 636 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 4: This is on you. 637 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 2: She's not wrong, but I can't imagine trying to buy 638 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 2: groceries for two parents and one child, let alone two 639 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 2: kids we had three, plus all the expenses of school 640 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 2: because every time we turn around the school wants more money. 641 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 2: I can't imagine trying to get buy it one hundred 642 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 2: grand a year with just one just one parent, working. 643 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 3: Hard. Man. 644 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 2: For those of you that are doing it, God bless you. 645 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 2: I really am impressed, genuinely. And this is coming from 646 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 2: a guy who lived in an RV for a couple 647 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 2: of years to try to pay off all of his debt. 648 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 2: So I know what sacrifice is like, and you're doing 649 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 2: it for the family and good Anya. 650 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 3: I just I sacrifice long enough. I don't want to anymore. 651 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 3: I am a spoiled little brat. 652 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 2: Although I would try Rocky Mountain Oysters not hagis though, 653 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 2: not touching that crap.
