You can't stop spending money, 0:01:52.030 --> 0:01:54.560 by the way. Wow. I get hit with $ 500 worth 0:01:54.590 --> 0:01:55.280 of paint, and Jack. 0:01:56.900 --> 0:01:58.220 Oh, by the way, is this that same thing we've 0:01:58.240 --> 0:01:58.800 been talking about? 0:01:59.240 --> 0:01:59.660 It is. 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.990 Did you take my advice? Yes. Did you get it? 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:05.760 Not only did I get the part back, but I 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:09.299 also brought in a mechanic to talk to the dealership. 0:02:10.180 --> 0:02:13.160 Oh, I'm sorry. I meant to say dealership. Oh, one 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:14.380 of those. 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:15.100 Barbed. 0:02:15.900 --> 0:02:16.500 Barbed? 0:02:16.660 --> 0:02:20.829 It was an uncomfortable 15 minutes. Seems like it was 0:02:20.870 --> 0:02:24.000 three hours of standing there. As this back and forth 0:02:24.060 --> 0:02:26.560 was happening on my behalf. Using a language you don't 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:27.360 even recognize. 0:02:27.380 --> 0:02:27.840 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:02:27.860 --> 0:02:29.960 This is like Crimeline because I see Barb. 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:33.520 Yeah, yeah. And in the end, it took the bill 0:02:33.540 --> 0:02:36.450 down almost 200 bucks. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Jack had 0:02:36.490 --> 0:02:38.110 a situation where, and I don't know if you guys 0:02:38.150 --> 0:02:40.470 have ever been to the mechanic or whatever, but I 0:02:40.470 --> 0:02:42.930 was telling Jack, you know, when you take a car 0:02:42.970 --> 0:02:45.270 to the mechanic, and if you don't know anything about 0:02:45.350 --> 0:02:48.150 cars or what's being replaced or whatever, right? Do you 0:02:48.190 --> 0:02:50.250 know what we're talking about here, Ross? No, I do not. 0:02:50.290 --> 0:02:52.110 Let's say you have to take your Honda in to 0:02:52.150 --> 0:02:55.210 get a new alternator, right? Or something like that, right? 0:02:55.410 --> 0:02:57.810 Yeah, we got to make it from Decepticon to, yeah, 0:02:57.850 --> 0:03:00.970 I got it. Because you take your car and you're like, well, man, 0:03:00.990 --> 0:03:02.070 you know, something's happening here. 0:03:02.090 --> 0:03:04.110 I don't know what's going on. They go back in 0:03:04.130 --> 0:03:05.950 the back. They go, oh, it's your alternator. That's going 0:03:05.990 --> 0:03:09.419 to be $ 500, right? Well, every time you do that, 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:11.580 or at least I do this, when I tell them that, 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.160 I'm like, okay, no problem. Let's fix the alternator. I 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:16.000 want to see the bad part when you're done, though. 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.600 You got to bring me the part that you replace. 0:03:19.660 --> 0:03:21.260 I need to see that in a box, if you 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.410 don't mind. Because what happens is a lot of times, 0:03:24.450 --> 0:03:25.870 I'm not saying a lot of times, I'm just saying 0:03:25.889 --> 0:03:27.850 with sketchy mechanics, what they'll do is they'll take it back, 0:03:27.870 --> 0:03:34.530 and it could be a fuse. Like $ 20, $ 5, $ 3, $ 4. 0:03:33.630 --> 0:03:35.270 And they were like, yeah, you need a new alternator. 0:03:36.010 --> 0:03:38.450 Charge you for a new alternator, put a fuse in 0:03:38.770 --> 0:03:40.030 because you don't know the difference. 0:03:41.230 --> 0:03:44.030 Matter of fact, that story, it happened to someone else 0:03:44.090 --> 0:03:46.720 and someone told me that exact thing happened with an 0:03:46.780 --> 0:03:48.060 alternator specifically. 0:03:48.140 --> 0:03:48.380 Yes. 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.300 That was not the case. I was dealing with a 0:03:50.340 --> 0:03:53.520 low pressure fuel pump and the whole assembly. And basically 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.960 what they charged me for the part was four times 0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:00.010 over what I would have paid at Rock Auto. And 0:04:00.050 --> 0:04:05.040 then labor on top of that. They said a two-hour job, 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:06.060 which is debatable. 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:08.740 Even that's in question now? 0:04:08.860 --> 0:04:12.960 Anyway, that, and if I finance it, and they had 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.100 some deal, I could get another 15% off, so I 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.220 took a $ 1, 300 bill down to $ 900. 0:04:17.100 --> 0:04:19.919 Yeah, not bad at all. Wow, still, that's crazy for 0:04:19.940 --> 0:04:23.200 a fuel pump. What was wrong with the carbon shaft? Yeah, 0:04:23.220 --> 0:04:25.599 the carbon shaft on the low-pressure fuel pump. Yeah, yeah, 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:31.180 the dilator came unglued from the... Spit valve. How much 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:34.870 did it dilate? Oh, big time. But it's inside the 0:04:34.910 --> 0:04:38.290 gas tank. The variance is 0.3. All right, good. It's 0:04:38.290 --> 0:04:39.870 0.3 and a half. That's why it had to be replaced. 0:04:39.910 --> 0:04:41.390 That's got to be 8 millimeters. 0:04:41.390 --> 0:04:41.450 77031. 0:04:41.430 --> 0:04:45.779 That's why you got to do that. Yeah, you got 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.250 to ask for the part. And then you're like, man, 0:04:48.290 --> 0:04:52.650 what an awkward, tense situation. Oh, and then, oh, yeah. 0:04:52.810 --> 0:04:54.850 Somebody arguing on your behalf and you just have to 0:04:54.870 --> 0:04:57.510 stand there like your mom's talking to a bully. 0:04:57.570 --> 0:04:59.789 I talk to my mom, talk to my mom. And 0:04:59.830 --> 0:05:02.220 then he's like, you know, can you do something on 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:03.679 this or do we need to go to the GM? 0:05:05.220 --> 0:05:06.600 Oh, he dropped that. 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.560 He dropped that. And the guy was like, well, you know, 0:05:09.580 --> 0:05:11.060 we might have to go to the GM. And we 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.469 went through it more and then said it. So I 0:05:13.490 --> 0:05:15.510 come in with the sugar. I go, can we do 0:05:15.570 --> 0:05:17.659 something on the price? And he goes, yeah, let me 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:19.960 look at it. And then they worked it. 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.619 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I could tell he was really 0:05:22.660 --> 0:05:24.960 glad we were not going to the GM. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, 0:05:24.990 --> 0:05:26.920 they don't like the GM being brought in. No, no, no. 0:05:26.930 --> 0:05:29.390 Because I think like kind of corporate protocol, don't they 0:05:29.410 --> 0:05:31.070 have to make a– there has to be a note 0:05:31.110 --> 0:05:33.600 of that. Yeah, correct. It's like getting written up. It 0:05:33.620 --> 0:05:35.339 goes into your permanent record. I don't know if there's 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.900 a permanent record, but yeah. You get the idea. So 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.099 you ask for the part. That's wild. 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:44.300 And a very confrontational choice, which I'm not disagreeing with 0:05:44.420 --> 0:05:46.040 is like necessary at times. 0:05:46.140 --> 0:05:47.180 I think it's brilliant. 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:49.380 Yeah, but I don't know if I would like the 0:05:49.420 --> 0:05:51.020 way my buddy did it. 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:51.900 And he's a mechanic. 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.230 So he knew this guy wasn't kind of he was 0:05:54.260 --> 0:05:56.370 trying to like talk circles the way they explained it 0:05:56.390 --> 0:05:56.560 to me. 0:05:56.589 --> 0:05:58.489 I'm like, oh, they said it was a loose seal. 0:05:58.650 --> 0:06:00.730 So there's like there's no loose seal on this. I 0:06:00.830 --> 0:06:02.490 learned this because my uncle back in the day had 0:06:02.529 --> 0:06:05.810 a car that had a hydraulic clutch booster. I believe 0:06:05.830 --> 0:06:08.410 that's what it was, right? Yeah, exactly. Well, your brakes 0:06:08.430 --> 0:06:10.490 have a brake booster that allows you to use hydraulic 0:06:10.529 --> 0:06:14.710 pressure to engage the brakes without breaking your leg while 0:06:14.750 --> 0:06:17.070 doing it, right? So when you have a car that 0:06:17.170 --> 0:06:19.150 shifts and the clutch is there, sometimes you have a, 0:06:19.140 --> 0:06:22.120 they had a clutch booster that ran just like your 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.860 brake booster, right? So you take the, the person takes 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:26.440 their car in, they're like, I think I need a 0:06:26.460 --> 0:06:28.110 new clutch because it was hard to get in gear, 0:06:28.380 --> 0:06:29.930 hard to get out of gear. They take it in 0:06:29.970 --> 0:06:31.589 the back. They go, yeah, man, you need a whole 0:06:31.630 --> 0:06:34.690 new clutch assembly, the whole nine yards, right? He says, okay, 0:06:34.730 --> 0:06:38.029 no problem. He goes, I'll be back tomorrow. In that time, 0:06:38.070 --> 0:06:40.030 the guy's son had called a buddy of his who's 0:06:40.050 --> 0:06:41.650 a mechanic and said, come over and look at my 0:06:41.690 --> 0:06:44.080 dad's car. I don't think it's what they think it is, right? 0:06:44.100 --> 0:06:46.040 Because there was no smell. Usually when you have a 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.180 clutch go bad, there's a certain smell to it, right? 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:52.380 Turns out that the clutch booster was just out of 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:56.360 hydraulic fluid. Not even a full can of fluid that 0:06:56.380 --> 0:06:56.700 cost $ 3. 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:56.660 10. 0:06:56.640 --> 0:07:00.600 They were about to charge this guy $ 600 for a 0:07:00.620 --> 0:07:04.450 new clutch because he just simply didn't know. I could 0:07:04.529 --> 0:07:05.350 see myself. 0:07:05.750 --> 0:07:09.210 There's only one scenario where I could see myself asking, 0:07:09.290 --> 0:07:10.850 all right, that's fine, man, but just give me the 0:07:10.890 --> 0:07:14.020 broken part. And that is if I have one to 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:18.140 two beers running through my system. there is no way 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.940 I'm going to John wick in the middle of a 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:21.840 mechanic shop. 0:07:22.060 --> 0:07:23.060 We'd sober. No way. 0:07:23.620 --> 0:07:25.900 I'm going to need some bourbon, but you can even 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.180 do it. Like just, I want to see, show me 0:07:28.220 --> 0:07:30.640 what was wrong on the other. So I understand, you know, 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:31.760 show me what was wrong on it. 0:07:31.820 --> 0:07:31.940 Yeah. 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:33.840 Because a lot of places they'll be like, well, we 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:35.940 took the other part as a, what they call a 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.440 core charge, because what they'll do is they'll take these 0:07:38.490 --> 0:07:41.110 big assemblies and they'll send them back to the factory 0:07:41.130 --> 0:07:42.810 and they'll refurbish them and resell them. 0:07:43.170 --> 0:07:44.210 Like, Right? 0:07:44.310 --> 0:07:44.610 Yeah. 0:07:44.650 --> 0:07:45.850 When you get a battery, I think that's kind of 0:07:45.870 --> 0:07:48.170 what they do. They take the battery and recycle it. Tires, 0:07:48.190 --> 0:07:49.730 they use it to recycle. But some of these parts, 0:07:49.750 --> 0:07:51.970 you'll get a core part or a core charge. And 0:07:52.010 --> 0:07:54.050 if you let them have the other part, you'll get that. 0:07:54.110 --> 0:07:56.010 You don't have to pay for it. Man, I always 0:07:56.030 --> 0:07:57.170 like put it in a box, bring it out. Let 0:07:57.190 --> 0:07:58.070 me see it. Yeah. 0:07:58.130 --> 0:07:58.270 Yeah. 0:07:58.290 --> 0:07:58.800 Let me see it. 0:07:59.250 --> 0:08:01.790 Because I think also until you sign off on the job, 0:08:01.990 --> 0:08:04.270 they can't, they're not supposed to throw away your part. 0:08:04.290 --> 0:08:04.370 Yeah. 0:08:04.390 --> 0:08:06.350 They're not supposed to. Dude, I knew somebody used to 0:08:06.450 --> 0:08:07.990 mark them. Like if he thought he had a part 0:08:08.010 --> 0:08:09.780 that had to be done, he'd mark it with a 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:11.960 pen or a paint pen or something to make sure 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:15.750 they replaced it. Crazy. And I don't think the mechanic– 0:08:15.770 --> 0:08:17.470 I don't know, man. I don't know if the business 0:08:17.510 --> 0:08:19.570 is still like that much anymore. I mean this thing here, 0:08:19.850 --> 0:08:22.300 like marking parts up is not a scam. I mean 0:08:22.310 --> 0:08:24.320 marking them up for a certain point is a scam. 0:08:24.420 --> 0:08:24.780 Correct. 0:08:25.180 --> 0:08:26.080 And that's subjective. 0:08:26.260 --> 0:08:29.240 But it's also what they told you they need and 0:08:29.260 --> 0:08:32.120 then what they actually ended up replacing. And then there 0:08:32.140 --> 0:08:34.660 was a little question of, oh, it wasn't the whole assembly. 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.380 You took one part of the assembly, but you're charging 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:38.559 me the full price. 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:42.200 Couldn't imagine like– I'm not being misogynist here by any means, 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.790 but could not imagine being– a woman that goes and 0:08:45.809 --> 0:08:48.010 takes a car into a mechanic shop with no knowledge 0:08:48.050 --> 0:08:50.660 of it and just has to trust the person who 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.750 is giving you the indication that something's wrong. Oh, well, 0:08:53.790 --> 0:08:55.890 let me tell you how it feels. Oh, it's not great. 0:08:58.140 --> 0:09:00.760 Yeah, you just– you hopefully have a group of friends 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:02.440 that you know you can rely on. 0:09:02.500 --> 0:09:04.400 Yeah, because you and I have talked about car issues before. 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.900 I'm like– Oh, yeah. And certain things you just got 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:09.740 to make sure you pay attention to because there are 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:10.780 ways to take advantage of you. 0:09:10.860 --> 0:09:12.480 I'll either go back to the place where I bought 0:09:12.500 --> 0:09:14.320 the car or my best friend who's a gearhead. 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:15.270 Absolutely got to do it. 0:09:15.300 --> 0:09:18.820 And I have two mechanic friends that I– well, one– 0:09:19.290 --> 0:09:21.730 not my friend, just a mechanic I trust. Another buddy 0:09:21.750 --> 0:09:24.949 who's a mechanic I trust. But sometimes you need the 0:09:24.990 --> 0:09:30.480 dealership because they got all the– The car exclusive technology. 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.920 I had a recall, and the guy who sold me 0:09:32.940 --> 0:09:35.280 the car tried because he was able to fix some 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.400 Honda things. He was given permission to do, figured that 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.359 might make him, and they're like, no, got to go 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:41.960 to the dealership. 0:09:41.980 --> 0:09:44.040 Yeah, the dealer for recalls for sure. That's a better 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.359 technique than I do. I walk in all fours, ton 0:09:47.380 --> 0:09:51.580 of leather, ball gag, ready to get done. I walk 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.880 in knowing this is a weakness of mine. I refuse 0:09:53.900 --> 0:09:57.910 to work on it. And you guys take me wherever 0:09:57.929 --> 0:10:00.930 you want to go. I am your car gimp. I 0:10:01.050 --> 0:10:01.890 am your car gimp. 0:10:02.460 --> 0:10:04.219 Lock me in the trunk. Do what you want with me. 0:10:04.550 --> 0:10:07.280 And I will see you afterwards when we invoice. 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:09.560 Just tell me the damage. And I know this oil 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.920 change will come with a comma. So after I get 0:10:11.980 --> 0:10:12.200 out of. 0:10:12.220 --> 0:10:15.760 It all and the thing started with the engine lights on, 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:17.000 I drove my daughter's car home. 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.800 It was her car. And I'm like, oh, look at that. 0:10:20.380 --> 0:10:21.180 Engine light's still on. 0:10:22.700 --> 0:10:23.699 Oh, no. 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:25.209 No, dude. No, no. 0:10:25.450 --> 0:10:29.410 But what was happening is it's now running fine, but 0:10:29.530 --> 0:10:30.630 the engine light's still on. 0:10:30.730 --> 0:10:32.309 Right, and it's on fire. Yeah, well. 0:10:33.670 --> 0:10:35.790 So I'm like, I could go right back to them, 0:10:35.850 --> 0:10:37.230 but I'm like, you know, I'm going to go to 0:10:38.309 --> 0:10:40.170 one of the auto stores. I'm going to have them 0:10:40.190 --> 0:10:42.439 plug it in. you tell me what's wrong tell me 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.800 what error code i'm getting before i end up going 0:10:44.900 --> 0:10:47.840 back absolutely yeah yeah i'll tell you one cool thing 0:10:47.860 --> 0:10:49.610 that happened today like i didn't know this was the 0:10:49.650 --> 0:10:51.890 case right so if you ever get a nail in 0:10:51.910 --> 0:10:53.469 your tire it's the biggest pain in the ass in 0:10:53.490 --> 0:10:54.709 the world because it if. 0:10:54.770 --> 0:10:57.939 It's even touching the sidewall that new tire if it's 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.040 near the corner i mean they wouldn't even think about 0:11:00.059 --> 0:11:01.939 it they like that's like a little out that they 0:11:01.980 --> 0:11:04.860 have like i'm sorry sir that screw head is near 0:11:04.900 --> 0:11:07.920 the sidewall we can't replace it it's against the law 0:11:07.940 --> 0:11:09.760 you need a new tire so it goes from being 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:13.840 a dollar and a half to 340 whatever a new tire. 0:11:13.540 --> 0:11:16.920 Is somebody just texted us at 77031 saying i had 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:18.839 one show me a photo of a nail in my 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:22.819 tire but it wasn't even my tire When the tread 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.610 looked brand new and not the same pattern. 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.950 That is bold. Isn't it? They just check GPT of tire. 0:11:30.690 --> 0:11:32.790 Show me how I can make money. But my wife 0:11:33.330 --> 0:11:36.050 had a nail or a screw in her tire last 0:11:36.110 --> 0:11:38.270 night and she had to go take it to, it 0:11:38.290 --> 0:11:40.370 was just a super slow leak. So it wasn't like 0:11:40.490 --> 0:11:42.230 leaving her a flat. She had to go take care 0:11:42.250 --> 0:11:44.800 of it this morning. And we were debating on what 0:11:44.820 --> 0:11:47.160 they were going to charge her to plug a tire 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.160 with a screw in the top. We found the screw. 0:11:49.179 --> 0:11:51.079 We knew exactly where it was. And how much do 0:11:51.100 --> 0:11:54.240 you think they charged her? 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:54.320 $ 10. 0:11:54.270 --> 0:11:54.350 $ 110. 0:11:54.300 --> 0:11:55.620 Oh, $ 75. $ 0. 0:11:55.500 --> 0:11:56.450 Nice. 0:11:56.490 --> 0:11:59.430 Does she have a warranty on the tire? 0:11:59.590 --> 0:12:01.650 I don't know, dude. She just said they didn't charge 0:12:01.670 --> 0:12:02.929 me a dime for my repair. 0:12:04.070 --> 0:12:07.630 That's outstanding. Did she go to a dealership or where 0:12:07.650 --> 0:12:08.470 she got the car from? 0:12:08.630 --> 0:12:10.510 We use a tire place out there that she's bought 0:12:10.530 --> 0:12:13.170 tires from, like a Tire Kingdom kind of place or whatever. 0:12:13.350 --> 0:12:14.929 So a lot of times when you buy a tire 0:12:15.030 --> 0:12:17.690 at a certain place, if you get the road hazard 0:12:17.870 --> 0:12:20.860 warranty on that tire, they plug it for free.

I just didn't want to spend another 0:12:26.700 --> 0:12:29.700 $ 350 on another tire. I had a discovery this year. 0:12:29.820 --> 0:12:34.380 Right a mile from my house, there's a used tire place. $ 10, 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:34.540 they plug a tire. 0:12:34.580 --> 0:12:34.900 Really? 0:12:34.940 --> 0:12:35.740 Yeah, let's go. 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:38.320 I'm a little confused on how you're not a little 0:12:38.380 --> 0:12:40.740 worried about this free tire patch, my man. 0:12:40.820 --> 0:12:43.400 I'm perfectly fine with a free tire patch.

Orlando police have made an arrest 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:59.070 in a 15-year missing persons case. Michelle Parker disappeared in 0:14:59.110 --> 0:15:03.950 November of 2011 after dropping off her children with her ex-fiance, 0:15:04.110 --> 0:15:05.330 Dale Smith Jr. 0:15:05.670 --> 0:15:06.390 Smith was the. 0:15:06.370 --> 0:15:09.510 Last known person to see or hear from Michelle on 0:15:09.550 --> 0:15:13.989 November 17, 2011, after she dropped their children off at 0:15:14.030 --> 0:15:14.370 his home. 0:15:14.750 --> 0:15:18.430 So Police Chief Eric Smith says detectives used new evidence 0:15:18.590 --> 0:15:21.800 and digital forensics to connect the suspect. They say he 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.980 was interviewed several times by detectives and changed his. 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.540 Stories over the years. That's always a sign. 0:15:28.060 --> 0:15:31.010 Smith is charged with second-degree murder, and prosecutors say a 0:15:31.050 --> 0:15:34.670 grand jury could upgrade that to a first-degree murder charge. 0:15:35.050 --> 0:15:38.100 Parker and Smith appeared in a 2011 episode of The 0:15:38.150 --> 0:15:41.770 People's Court in a dispute over her engagement ring. The 0:15:41.860 --> 0:15:45.760 episode aired the day Parker disappeared after she'd reportedly thrown 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.100 the ring at him, which was said to be like 0:15:48.140 --> 0:15:50.560 three and a half carats or some other large size. 0:15:50.580 --> 0:15:51.800 It was a honker. It was. 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:55.560 And her parents, if you remember, had sued seeking to 0:15:55.620 --> 0:15:59.860 have not custody, but at least visitation with her two children, 0:15:59.920 --> 0:16:03.660 because since she disappeared. He has taken the children and 0:16:03.820 --> 0:16:05.760 I believe moved to North Carolina. 0:16:05.780 --> 0:16:08.040 I thought it was North Carolina or Georgia. I know. 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:09.060 And he left pretty quickly. 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:10.020 He left pretty quickly. 0:16:10.180 --> 0:16:12.619 And apparently he was arrested today at his place of 0:16:12.660 --> 0:16:13.960 business where he was working. 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:15.400 Fifteen years. 0:16:15.820 --> 0:16:19.660 You know, those kids were living with a dad now 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:23.530 of questionable background. missing their mom and not even having 0:16:23.610 --> 0:16:24.810 access to their grandparents. 0:16:24.830 --> 0:16:25.170 Yeah. 0:16:25.250 --> 0:16:25.870 It's tragic. 0:16:25.950 --> 0:16:27.450 Just, yeah, man. I got to tell you, you know, 0:16:27.490 --> 0:16:29.270 that's that all, all that happened out there where I'm, 0:16:29.350 --> 0:16:30.990 where I used to live at that Geneva area. 0:16:31.070 --> 0:16:33.130 I thought I remembered you saying that the folks out 0:16:33.250 --> 0:16:35.780 in Geneva were not real happy with him and kind of, 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:37.700 that was the talk of the time. 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:38.859 I mean, that was the talk of the entire, we 0:16:38.900 --> 0:16:40.200 didn't live there yet, but we knew it was the 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:42.300 talk of the town. Even, even when we were there 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:44.260 years after it happened, it was still kind of one 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:47.010 of those buzzy topics. I text a couple of people 0:16:47.070 --> 0:16:51.060 I know that know him. And know them. And they're like, yeah, 0:16:51.100 --> 0:16:53.040 I'm watching it right now. Crazy. It was huge. 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:55.600 This and the Jennifer Kessie case. 0:16:55.620 --> 0:16:56.920 These are two of the biggest. 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.100 Yeah, exactly. All right. 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:02.540 Florida's Hurricane Isaias death toll has climbed to six with 0:17:02.580 --> 0:17:06.780 Governor Ron DeSantis announcing four additional storm related deaths. Goes 0:17:06.820 --> 0:17:09.320 to show hurricanes and tropical weather can be far more 0:17:09.619 --> 0:17:11.960 just as dangerous after they've moved out of the area. 0:17:12.100 --> 0:17:12.260 Right. 0:17:13.190 --> 0:17:15.970 We had talked about two previously reported deaths. One involved 0:17:15.990 --> 0:17:17.770 a woman killed when a tree fell on her home 0:17:17.830 --> 0:17:20.510 and a man who died from carbon monoxide poisoning after 0:17:20.609 --> 0:17:24.470 using a generator in a garage. The newly linked deaths 0:17:25.050 --> 0:17:28.750 include a traffic crash at an intersection with non-working signals 0:17:28.869 --> 0:17:32.889 in two cases where storm disruptions affected medical treatment. 0:17:32.950 --> 0:17:33.410 Wow. 0:17:34.350 --> 0:17:37.990 State officials count fatalities caused by a storm's aftermath, not 0:17:38.060 --> 0:17:42.160 just direct impacts. In the meantime, Florida animal rescue groups 0:17:42.220 --> 0:17:45.359 are stepping up to help pets displaced by Hurricane Isaias 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:48.940 in the Panhandle. Nate's Honor Animal Rescue in Bradenton took 0:17:49.100 --> 0:17:53.420 in 22 dogs, including seniors and animals with medical needs. 0:17:53.540 --> 0:17:57.640 Suncoast Animal League in Palm Harbor is preparing to receive 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:01.770 33 dogs and cats from storm-impacted shelters in Florida and Alabama. 0:18:02.090 --> 0:18:05.550 What makes this heartbreaking touching is that both organizations say 0:18:05.570 --> 0:18:09.690 the animals need medical care, fostering and community support as 0:18:09.770 --> 0:18:11.490 recovery efforts continue. 0:18:12.210 --> 0:18:12.490 All right. 0:18:12.650 --> 0:18:16.450 Closer to home, SeaWorld Orlando has temporarily closed its Mako 0:18:16.550 --> 0:18:21.230 Hyper coaster. The precautionary shutdown follows that tragic incident Monday 0:18:21.270 --> 0:18:24.189 where a 42-year-old rider fell to his death from the 0:18:24.230 --> 0:18:27.480 Goliath coaster at Six Flags over Georgia and four other 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:30.720 riders were hurt. It turns out both rides use similar 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:36.159 clamshell lap restraints. Built by Swiss manufacturer Bollinger and Mabillard, 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:39.379 SeaWorld hasn't announced when Mako will reopen. 0:18:39.859 --> 0:18:43.119 Yeah, I hear more, hearing more details from that roller 0:18:43.140 --> 0:18:45.960 coaster accident is, it's horrifying. 0:18:45.980 --> 0:18:46.380 It is. 0:18:46.540 --> 0:18:49.359 I mean, just horrifying. Hit people on the way down. 0:18:49.460 --> 0:18:49.840 Yeah. 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:52.700 They said when the car came in, the first car 0:18:52.740 --> 0:18:54.879 came in before they shut the ride down. there were 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:57.800 kids in the car like covered in blood because when 0:18:57.820 --> 0:18:59.520 he flew out and they said that the bar, that 0:18:59.540 --> 0:19:01.440 I guess his seat bar was kind of loose or whatever. 0:19:01.790 --> 0:19:02.980 That's what I read this morning. I don't know how 0:19:03.010 --> 0:19:03.639 verified that is. 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:06.070 Yeah, well, they had said that he was launched from 0:19:06.150 --> 0:19:07.890 his seat and he had hit the ride at least 0:19:07.970 --> 0:19:10.310 on three separate occasions on his way down. And as 0:19:10.350 --> 0:19:14.350 we had mentioned yesterday, unfortunately, his fall was caught on 0:19:14.750 --> 0:19:18.250 several souvenir photos because a lot of roller coasters, a 0:19:18.290 --> 0:19:20.389 lot of rides will take photos of you screaming on 0:19:20.430 --> 0:19:21.909 the ride and then you can get those when you 0:19:21.930 --> 0:19:24.919 get off the ride. His fall was unfortunately captured in 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:26.020 several of those photos. 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:27.240 Well, that's inevitable. 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:31.200 The unfortunate part is anyone who has copies of that 0:19:31.550 --> 0:19:34.090 and are going to distribute that. 0:19:34.190 --> 0:19:39.149 I would argue, not inevitable, a crazy chance that that 0:19:39.369 --> 0:19:42.510 tragedy is happening during the one part of the ride 0:19:42.530 --> 0:19:46.510 where the camera is set up. That's my takeaway when 0:19:46.550 --> 0:19:48.149 I heard about the reports of like, what do you 0:19:48.190 --> 0:19:49.950 mean he's also in the photos? 0:19:40.030 --> 0:19:40.210 Yeah. 0:19:40.230 --> 0:19:40.350 Yeah. 0:19:40.369 --> 0:19:40.449 Yeah. 0:20:02.220 --> 0:20:04.620 Point during the track it'd be like falling out during 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:06.840 the jurassic drop right yeah because that's where they take 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:07.740 the picture right. 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:10.710 Or but with roller coasters there's usually just kind of 0:20:10.730 --> 0:20:14.690 like one like a drop or they're putting their hands 0:20:14.770 --> 0:20:18.050 up or whatever yeah sometimes a drop but also just 0:20:18.090 --> 0:20:21.760 a random moment okay like it's i can't get over 0:20:21.780 --> 0:20:23.320 that how crazy. 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:25.699 You're invited to pay your respects to a fallen Brevard 0:20:25.740 --> 0:20:28.880 County deputy. Sheriff Wayne Ivey announced yesterday that a memorial 0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:31.899 service will take place Saturday for Deputy Kevin Morris. The 0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:35.570 55-year-old was killed in an on-duty crash Saturday. He's going 0:20:35.590 --> 0:20:38.109 to be laid to rest with full law enforcement honors 0:20:38.550 --> 0:20:41.609 at Calvary Chapel, Melbourne and West Melbourne on Minton Road 0:20:41.670 --> 0:20:45.010 at 11 a.m. Ivey says Morris loved the community and 0:20:45.109 --> 0:20:48.169 all are invited to celebrate his life. Ivey adds Morris 0:20:48.190 --> 0:20:51.800 was a great cop, an amazing son, husband, dad, grandfather, coach. 0:20:52.300 --> 0:20:55.760 friend and mentor and then we go to this next 0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:58.600 story where a central florida convenience store owner is accused 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:02.960 of hitting a teen with his car okay and leaving 0:21:03.030 --> 0:21:05.570 him critically injured on the side of the road. 0:21:05.650 --> 0:21:06.970 Oh i was gonna make a joke until he's a 0:21:07.010 --> 0:21:08.690 critical i know thanks deb. 0:21:08.510 --> 0:21:10.310 Well at least i got it in there before you 0:21:10.350 --> 0:21:12.410 made your joke you're welcome. 0:21:12.510 --> 0:21:13.970 I listen do you see how i didn't make a 0:21:13.990 --> 0:21:16.389 noise because i have touched this hot stove yeah. 0:21:16.250 --> 0:21:20.129 Yeah Police say Kavan Patel confronted the teen after a 0:21:20.170 --> 0:21:24.060 reported break-in at his store in West Melbourne. Investigators allege 0:21:24.100 --> 0:21:26.900 Patel struck the teen while he was riding his e-bike, 0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:30.980 then left. The 14-year-old was found nearly an hour later 0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:35.480 and taken to the hospital with serious injuries. Patel faces 0:21:35.540 --> 0:21:38.210 charges of aggravated battery and leaving the scene of a 0:21:38.250 --> 0:21:41.310 crash involving serious injuries. Bodily injury. 0:21:41.330 --> 0:21:43.950 You better be glad there's not an attempted murder in that. Yeah, exactly. 0:21:43.970 --> 0:21:47.149 I wouldn't even be surprised, depending on what happens with 0:21:47.190 --> 0:21:49.900 that teen in his recovery, he could be facing upgraded charges. 0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:52.399 When you point your car at somebody, that's... Do we 0:21:52.420 --> 0:21:54.679 know the kid was innocent? No, it doesn't matter. You 0:21:54.700 --> 0:21:58.159 can't run him over. 0:21:58.200 --> 0:21:59.930 No, that's just someone who's had to deal with a 0:21:59.950 --> 0:22:01.790 teenager before, as you all have. 0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:02.500 All right. 0:22:02.540 --> 0:22:05.780 Pope Leo is up and about after yesterday's surgery to 0:22:05.820 --> 0:22:08.840 remove a cancerous nodule on his lung as well as 0:22:09.100 --> 0:22:12.170 his right lobe of his lung. The Vatican reports he's 0:22:12.230 --> 0:22:14.350 eating normally, walking around his hospital room. 0:22:14.710 --> 0:22:15.010 Dr. 0:22:15.070 --> 0:22:18.250 Samuel Gurevich is a pulmonologist at Cleveland Clinic and says 0:22:18.290 --> 0:22:21.570 the 71-year-old pope is blessed that the spot on his 0:22:21.650 --> 0:22:23.250 lung was detected early. 0:22:23.740 --> 0:22:25.659 By the time that these spots happen to grow in 0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:27.920 their cancer and they give you symptoms, they're usually pretty 0:22:27.980 --> 0:22:30.300 far along and much harder to treat. The nine things 0:22:30.320 --> 0:22:33.220 usually don't grow, and so if a spot doesn't change over. 0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:35.180 A period of time, you know, we usually leave it alone. 0:22:35.480 --> 0:22:35.920 Now, Dr. 0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:38.700 Gurevich says lung cancer is more rare in people with 0:22:38.740 --> 0:22:41.150 no history of smoking. Think Dana Reeve, right? 0:22:41.250 --> 0:22:41.530 Yeah. 0:22:41.750 --> 0:22:44.370 Christopher Reeve's former wife. She, too, died of lung cancer, 0:22:44.450 --> 0:22:45.010 never smoked. 0:22:45.270 --> 0:22:45.609 Right. 0:22:45.630 --> 0:22:47.610 The Pope is reportedly a non-smoker. 0:22:47.650 --> 0:22:50.429 The Vatican has not publicly disclosed the Pope's stage of 0:22:50.470 --> 0:22:53.159 lung cancer yet. And the diagnosis comes less than a 0:22:53.200 --> 0:22:56.640 year and a half after he became the first American pope. 0:22:56.660 --> 0:22:57.600 But it's not just that. 0:22:57.940 --> 0:23:01.720 Learn today that his older brother, Louis, who had been 0:23:01.770 --> 0:23:05.010 dealing with multiple myeloma that had been in remission, found 0:23:05.070 --> 0:23:07.570 out just three months ago that his cancer has as 0:23:07.650 --> 0:23:08.310 well returned. 0:23:08.350 --> 0:23:09.609 Yeah, I saw that. Yeah. 0:23:09.890 --> 0:23:10.050 Crazy. 0:23:10.070 --> 0:23:10.750 So it is. 0:23:11.690 --> 0:23:16.629 Speaking of crazy, this is a truly cool story. Hillsborough 0:23:16.670 --> 0:23:23.850 County Fire Rescue is debuting a first-in-the-nation... emergency drone program. 0:23:24.230 --> 0:23:26.600 Okay. Check this. This is Tampa area, right? 0:23:26.619 --> 0:23:26.859 Yeah. 0:23:26.930 --> 0:23:27.100 Yep. 0:23:27.210 --> 0:23:29.480 Exactly. Off rip sounds a little cyber diney. 0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:33.540 Well, get ready because it's definitely cyber diney. But if 0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:37.620 you're in a tragic car accident, you know, partnering with 0:23:37.660 --> 0:23:42.760 Tampa General Hospital, autonomous drones are going to fly temperature 0:23:42.840 --> 0:23:47.060 controlled whole blood directly to trauma scenes. 0:23:47.180 --> 0:23:49.540 Damn, dude, that is crazy. 0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:50.840 That's Cyberdiny, right? 0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:52.480 Hey, Ralph, look at that skeeter. 0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:58.880 The system costs how much money every month for each 0:23:59.190 --> 0:24:02.709 drone to deliver life-saving blood in under four minutes? 0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:05.320 It's just to maintain the program? 0:24:05.540 --> 0:24:08.400 For each drone, the system costs this much money every 0:24:08.460 --> 0:24:11.680 month for each drone to deliver life-saving blood in under 0:24:11.770 --> 0:24:12.270 four minutes. 0:24:12.270 --> 0:24:12.570 $ 5, 000. 0:24:12.369 --> 0:24:15.450 Oh, what'd you say? $ 5, 000. Mother blinker. 0:24:15.690 --> 0:24:16.030 God. 0:24:16.750 --> 0:24:17.090 All right. 0:24:17.090 --> 0:24:17.330 $ 5, 200. 0:24:17.170 --> 0:24:17.410 $ 4, 800. 0:24:17.250 --> 0:24:19.609 Point to Jimmy, $ 9, 000 every month for each drone. 0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:27.400 To deliver life-saving blood in under four minutes. 0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:28.040 What a great idea. 0:24:28.060 --> 0:24:30.280 Why wouldn't you want that to be more cost-effective so 0:24:30.300 --> 0:24:31.160 we could save more lives? 0:24:31.180 --> 0:24:33.639 Why are you sharing the prices? Oh, you walked into it. 0:24:33.850 --> 0:24:36.650 These are mutually exclusive events. Shame on you. I'm trying 0:24:36.670 --> 0:24:39.410 to win a contest. I don't want to discharge them more. 0:24:41.430 --> 0:24:44.209 Jack's like that floor like in the 90s movies when 0:24:44.230 --> 0:24:45.500 there's a bunch of marbles on it. 0:24:45.670 --> 0:24:47.929 You try to run over it. 0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:49.520 All right. 0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:53.340 If a new poll is any indication, Florida Republicans may 0:24:53.380 --> 0:24:56.609 be able to hold off a blue wave. Stetson University 0:24:56.660 --> 0:25:00.450 released a poll yesterday that shows Republicans Byron Donalds and 0:25:00.590 --> 0:25:03.070 Ashley Moody leading their races by double digits. 0:25:03.230 --> 0:25:05.190 Thank God, because we need data centers. 0:25:05.290 --> 0:25:06.170 Yeah, no doubt. 0:25:06.230 --> 0:25:09.130 Donalds is up 11 percentage points in the governor's race 0:25:09.190 --> 0:25:12.379 against Democrat David Jolly. Moody is also up 11 in 0:25:12.410 --> 0:25:16.020 her Senate race against Democrat Angie Nixon. The poll also 0:25:16.060 --> 0:25:19.530 found President Trump as a 50 percent Democrat. Approval rating 0:25:19.570 --> 0:25:22.050 in Florida, damn near double what it is with the 0:25:22.109 --> 0:25:25.700 rest of the country. And Governor Ron DeSantis' approval rating 0:25:25.780 --> 0:25:30.300 is 55%. As for Amendment 3, the poll finds 56% 0:25:30.300 --> 0:25:35.050 support raising the homestead exemption, but that's short of the 60% 0:25:35.050 --> 0:25:38.050 needed for it to become law. All right, in the meantime, 0:25:38.070 --> 0:25:41.730 there's just 20 days, praise God, until the midterm elections. 0:25:42.310 --> 0:25:44.010 It's going to get so much better after that, Deb, 0:25:44.030 --> 0:25:44.450 you're right. 0:25:44.530 --> 0:25:48.239 University of Central Florida's Dr. Aubrey Jewett says, this is 0:25:48.320 --> 0:25:51.980 music to the ears of anyone annoyed with the onslaught 0:25:52.040 --> 0:25:55.040 of negative ads, but they prove effective. 0:25:55.320 --> 0:25:58.080 When you get people angry, upset, or scared, they will 0:25:58.100 --> 0:25:58.660 do something. 0:25:58.700 --> 0:26:00.889 Maybe in some cases it makes you more likely to 0:26:00.920 --> 0:26:01.310 turn out. 0:26:01.350 --> 0:26:03.070 In some cases it might turn you off. 0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:06.400 He says AI has also added to confusion as people 0:26:06.480 --> 0:26:10.260 try to verify information. Early voting begins in Broward and 0:26:10.300 --> 0:26:13.220 Miami-Dade Monday and runs through November 1st ahead of the 0:26:13.280 --> 0:26:14.480 general election on the 3rd. 0:26:14.520 --> 0:26:16.120 I believe that goes for us here as well. 0:26:16.740 --> 0:26:19.890 White House officials have officially called off President Trump's trip 0:26:19.910 --> 0:26:23.910 to Sunday's Buccaneers-Steelers game at Raymond James Stadium. I just 0:26:23.950 --> 0:26:26.290 saw that yesterday that he was planning to attend. And 0:26:26.330 --> 0:26:31.389 then today, despite initial reports from CNN, Sports Illustrated and others, 0:26:31.470 --> 0:26:34.160 Trump will no longer attend. Attend the matchup. The shift 0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:39.679 follows J.D. Vance's recent midterm rally in nearby Lakeland. For us, 0:26:39.740 --> 0:26:40.520 he's probably tired. 0:26:40.540 --> 0:26:43.090 He's exhausted, man. He's 80 years old, dude. 0:26:43.490 --> 0:26:46.770 And then speaking of on the Gulf Coast still, Tampa 0:26:46.790 --> 0:26:49.929 Bay back on even ground in the American League Championship Series. 0:26:49.970 --> 0:26:52.520 The Rays bounced back last night, beating the Cleveland Guardians 0:26:52.540 --> 0:26:55.460 3-1 to even the best of seven series at a 0:26:55.480 --> 0:26:58.960 game apiece. Tampa Bay now heads to Cleveland for Game 0:26:58.960 --> 0:27:02.000 3 tomorrow night. Meanwhile, in the National League, the Dodgers 0:27:02.040 --> 0:27:05.220 are fighting to stay alive as they host the Brewers. 0:27:04.900 --> 0:27:06.900 Tonight, trailing two games to none. 0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:08.820 Oh, I'm torn. Go Brewers. 0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:12.980 I was rooting for Tampa because I like smaller market 0:27:13.000 --> 0:27:17.680 teams with a lower salary. And I find out Cleveland... Is. 0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:19.920 That so frustrating to say he feels that way and yet. 0:27:19.760 --> 0:27:21.220 He's a Yankees fan? 0:27:21.540 --> 0:27:25.330 Cleveland's salary, $ 20 million lower than the Rays. There's a 0:27:25.350 --> 0:27:28.189 low market team now. The small market. 0:27:28.510 --> 0:27:31.350 You're doubling and tripling down. I know. I think we 0:27:31.390 --> 0:27:32.110 make more than the Indians. 0:27:36.950 --> 0:27:38.250 Guardians, Jimmy, Guardians. 0:27:38.270 --> 0:27:38.689 Yeah, whatever. 0:27:39.109 --> 0:27:42.939 Geez, Jack, good Lord have mercy. 0:27:42.980 --> 0:27:43.580 He was yawning, Jimmy. 0:27:43.600 --> 0:27:45.560 You're the one who said it.

The vibe isn't as vibey? The 0:28:01.060 --> 0:28:03.630 vibe isn't as vibey. Maybe it's because everything's so expensive 0:28:03.650 --> 0:28:05.760 and people are like on a pension dollars, but I 0:28:05.780 --> 0:28:08.359 don't have the, I'm not getting the big time money 0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:10.119 Halloween vibe. I know I'm wrong. 0:28:10.300 --> 0:28:12.460 You want to know how the fact that that is 0:28:12.500 --> 0:28:15.439 completely wrong is the fact that even Deb has already 0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:16.540 been in a Halloween costume. 0:28:16.560 --> 0:28:17.300 Yeah, this is a question. 0:28:17.400 --> 0:28:18.060 At a party. 0:28:18.260 --> 0:28:18.600 Yeah. 0:28:18.900 --> 0:28:19.240 Right? 0:28:19.380 --> 0:28:20.580 This is total America? 0:28:20.600 --> 0:28:23.820 Total America.

No. Or maybe according to 0:28:32.180 --> 0:28:34.840 that laugh, it is. $ 11 billion. I'll go $ 20. 0:28:34.780 --> 0:28:39.060 How about $ 13. 0:28:37.300 --> 0:28:38.640 5 billion? 0:28:38.680 --> 0:28:40.640 Wow, man, that's so much cash. 0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:43.830 That's according to the National Retail Federation, which expects spending 0:28:43.890 --> 0:28:46.990 to increase this year by some $ 400 million. 0:28:47.150 --> 0:28:48.510 Jeez Louise. 0:28:48.690 --> 0:28:51.630 Some three-quarters of consumers say they plan to celebrate.

Oh, it's better to make 0:29:06.420 --> 0:29:06.840 it at home. 0:29:06.860 --> 0:29:08.600 And I think this is, well, I say a new thing, 0:29:08.640 --> 0:29:10.540 not a new thing per se, but I believe like 0:29:10.580 --> 0:29:12.880 since Halloween Horror Nights kind of started and kind of 0:29:12.900 --> 0:29:15.900 got hold, you know, Halloween's turned into like an adult thing. 0:29:15.940 --> 0:29:17.560 It's not like a kid thing anymore. So back in 0:29:17.580 --> 0:29:19.000 the day, it would have never been that much money 0:29:19.040 --> 0:29:23.340 because adults were blowing it out of spirit every Halloween 0:29:23.640 --> 0:29:26.160 for their biggest, baddest costume. We were in the 90s 0:29:26.200 --> 0:29:29.080 and early 2000s. Really?

Lemonhead candy guy. 0:32:27.390 --> 0:32:30.390 Lemonhead candy guy. Use candy because all I have is 0:32:30.410 --> 0:32:32.430 a picture of the Lemonheads, the band.

There's Deb. 0:34:17.810 --> 0:34:18.549 Hello. 0:34:18.630 --> 0:34:21.370 Jack is here as well. Yeah, he is. And so is. 0:34:23.450 --> 0:34:23.910 Ross. 0:34:23.969 --> 0:34:27.430 It's all true. It is all true. For you old 0:34:27.489 --> 0:34:32.330 schoolers out there, Ross, do you have a particular show 0:34:32.570 --> 0:34:36.279 or a particular movie or something that you have to 0:34:36.320 --> 0:34:39.470 watch every Halloween that you feel like? I know that 0:34:39.510 --> 0:34:41.540 everybody has their Christmas shows and stuff, but is there 0:34:41.620 --> 0:34:43.440 one that you watch during Halloween? I know that there 0:34:43.460 --> 0:34:44.980 are a lot of the horror movies people are like, well, 0:34:45.000 --> 0:34:47.440 I'm going to watch Friday the 13th or Halloween 1 0:34:47.440 --> 0:34:49.420 because I like throwing it back to the OG of 0:34:49.460 --> 0:34:51.739 the slasher movies or something like that. Do you watch 0:34:51.760 --> 0:34:52.279 any of that stuff? 0:34:52.580 --> 0:34:55.200 I don't know if I have a movie that's every year, 0:34:55.340 --> 0:34:58.340 but I have a movie that's most years, and I 0:34:58.380 --> 0:35:00.620 have a handful of movies that's most years. So there's 0:35:00.680 --> 0:35:04.450 probably like four movies that I just rotate throughout my Halloweens. 0:35:04.450 --> 0:35:07.790 28 Days Later is one of the best ever. I 0:35:07.830 --> 0:35:09.290 think it's not just one of the best horror films. 0:35:09.330 --> 0:35:14.230 I think it's flawless from start to finish. Agreed 100%. 0:35:14.230 --> 0:35:17.580 What's another one? There's also hokey ones. I'm kind of 0:35:17.860 --> 0:35:21.100 embarrassed to say this, but I like some Hocus Pocus. Oh, 0:35:21.120 --> 0:35:23.500 I love Hocus Pocus. I don't mind a little Hocus 0:35:23.540 --> 0:35:25.350 Pocus on the TV around this time. 0:35:25.390 --> 0:35:25.890 Oh, yeah. 0:35:26.390 --> 0:35:29.049 So there's some go-tos. All right, very good. You guys 0:35:29.090 --> 0:35:30.290 feel the same way? Do you have something you like 0:35:30.330 --> 0:35:35.110 to watch for Halloween? Charlie Brown. Now, that's exactly why 0:35:35.140 --> 0:35:37.100 I brought this up. Did you see the story? No. 0:35:37.420 --> 0:35:40.320 So the rights of that have been purchased, I believe, 0:35:40.380 --> 0:35:42.180 and they kind of took that off network television and 0:35:42.219 --> 0:35:43.319 moved it on to one of the other. 0:35:43.700 --> 0:35:45.940 Apple TV Plus for the past couple of years. So 0:35:45.980 --> 0:35:49.420 that's exactly what happened. This weekend is the Apple TV 0:35:49.460 --> 0:35:52.630 Plus where you can watch Charlie Brown for free. And 0:35:52.670 --> 0:35:55.830 for me, and I know a lot of people my age, 0:35:56.090 --> 0:35:59.430 this special was one of the only Halloween specials that 0:35:59.469 --> 0:36:02.730 you could watch. There really weren't any Halloween shows when 0:36:02.750 --> 0:36:05.300 we were kids. This was legit one of the only 0:36:05.380 --> 0:36:08.540 shows built specifically to talk about Halloween. 0:36:09.239 --> 0:36:10.980 I mean, that's it. So, I mean, like, this is 0:36:11.020 --> 0:36:12.839 like a rite of passage kind of thing for me. 0:36:12.880 --> 0:36:15.860 So I will be watching, um, the Charlie Brown. I 0:36:15.880 --> 0:36:17.620 think it's the great pumpkin, Charlie Brown. 0:36:17.980 --> 0:36:19.729 This is back when we were kids, when the TV 0:36:19.750 --> 0:36:21.750 had two settings on and off, right? 0:36:21.790 --> 0:36:22.230 Exactly. 0:36:22.310 --> 0:36:24.969 Three channels. Uh, but these, you know, these shows are 0:36:24.989 --> 0:36:26.630 like a part of my childhood. And that's why I 0:36:26.670 --> 0:36:28.870 like a lot of the Charlie Brown shows, whether it be, 0:36:29.190 --> 0:36:30.950 you know, Charlie Brown's Christmas or any of the shows, 0:36:30.989 --> 0:36:33.799 because it, it just is such a nostalgic flashback. And 0:36:33.860 --> 0:36:37.080 it's the same with the Rankin and Bass holiday Christmas specials. 0:36:37.140 --> 0:36:40.110 And yeah, For us, back at the time, it's waiting 0:36:40.150 --> 0:36:42.210 for it to come. It came on once, and that 0:36:42.230 --> 0:36:44.520 was it. That's it. You didn't even have a VCR 0:36:44.540 --> 0:36:46.560 to record it back then. And the only thing I 0:36:46.620 --> 0:36:50.160 never understood is why they aired them so early. Like, 0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:53.239 even with the Rankin and Bass shows, and for what 0:36:53.260 --> 0:36:56.680 we're seeing with the Rankin and Bass, it's the stop-motion, like, Rudolph... Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:36:56.710 --> 0:36:58.910 Shows like that that kind of inundate television during the 0:36:58.930 --> 0:37:00.410 Christmas season. Yeah, without a Santa Claus. 0:37:00.450 --> 0:37:00.569 Right. 0:37:00.610 --> 0:37:00.910 Oh, yeah. 0:37:00.950 --> 0:37:03.129 But they would always play those like the first week 0:37:03.150 --> 0:37:05.509 in December. I remember like right after Thanksgiving, you had 0:37:05.530 --> 0:37:07.529 to have your S together. Yeah. Because if you didn't, 0:37:07.550 --> 0:37:09.140 you would miss all these shows because they played them 0:37:09.160 --> 0:37:11.520 in the beginning of the season rather than closer to 0:37:11.540 --> 0:37:13.520 the actual holiday, which I always found wild. 0:37:14.320 --> 0:37:16.739 Another thing that's kind of blowing my mind talking about 0:37:16.800 --> 0:37:18.640 like nostalgic Halloween movies. 0:37:18.660 --> 0:37:20.790 So another big one was Halloween Town. 0:37:21.250 --> 0:37:21.730 Oh, yeah. 0:37:21.810 --> 0:37:22.029 Right? 0:37:22.090 --> 0:37:24.650 Halloween Town, when you find out that the grandma was 0:37:24.690 --> 0:37:25.110 a witch. 0:37:25.130 --> 0:37:27.489 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's just a really, really fun, 0:37:27.530 --> 0:37:29.649 wholesome movie. I think it was on Disney or something. 0:37:29.670 --> 0:37:31.210 And that came out, like, in the late 90s, did 0:37:31.230 --> 0:37:31.410 it not? 0:37:31.430 --> 0:37:33.930 It came out in 98. In fact, that's actually kind 0:37:33.950 --> 0:37:35.690 of where I'm going with this. I was born in 89. 0:37:35.690 --> 0:37:38.569 That movie came out in 98, which means I was 0:37:38.690 --> 0:37:42.370 nine years old. And I look at nine-year-olds now as 0:37:42.550 --> 0:37:45.930 far more adult than the nine-year-old me. Like, I saw 0:37:45.950 --> 0:37:49.319 a nine-year-old smoking last night. Like, you know, like they 0:37:49.340 --> 0:37:51.900 come back with like tattoos and war stories at this 0:37:51.960 --> 0:37:53.040 time at nine. 0:37:53.200 --> 0:37:56.000 I sold him the cigarettes. Yeah. So I don't know. 0:37:56.020 --> 0:37:58.450 That just kind of made me stop in my tracks 0:37:58.489 --> 0:38:00.490 of like even nine year olds are different. 0:38:00.590 --> 0:38:04.710 Dude, my kids loved Halloween Town. They loved it. We 0:38:04.730 --> 0:38:07.390 would pile up in my recliner and watch Halloween Town. 0:38:07.410 --> 0:38:09.200 They were like probably four or five, six years old. 0:38:09.260 --> 0:38:11.640 It was playing in the early 2000s at that point. 0:38:11.940 --> 0:38:15.239 And man, they loved it. Who was the star of that? 0:38:16.020 --> 0:38:20.120 It's a bunch of, it's Kimberly J. Brown, Debbie Reynolds, 0:38:20.969 --> 0:38:25.230 Joey Zimmerman. It's not a whole bunch of people. Did 0:38:25.250 --> 0:38:27.830 you have one, Deb? Did you watch the Charlie Brown shows? 0:38:27.870 --> 0:38:32.190 Oh, yeah. And now it's Nightmare Before Christmas, Hocus Pocus. 0:38:32.530 --> 0:38:33.410 That's wild, yeah, yeah. 0:38:33.469 --> 0:38:36.680 And Hocus Pocus and Titanic have something a little uncommon 0:38:36.739 --> 0:38:37.040 for me. 0:38:37.530 --> 0:38:40.609 Because those are some, that's like first boobs. Oh, there's 0:38:40.930 --> 0:38:41.790 boobs in Hocus Pocus? 0:38:41.810 --> 0:38:46.010 There's not boobs, not raw boob, but there's this level 0:38:46.050 --> 0:38:48.850 of cleavage that young me was not ready for from 0:38:49.570 --> 0:38:50.690 Sarah Jessica Parker. 0:38:50.850 --> 0:38:51.670 Oh, yeah, really? 0:38:51.690 --> 0:38:55.450 She was the pale one with the corset, and everything 0:38:55.469 --> 0:38:56.839 was just getting pushed up. 0:38:57.020 --> 0:38:58.880 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think they're all in competition. 0:41:08.130 --> 0:41:08.630 Spiders. 0:41:10.090 --> 0:41:15.049 You started this interview off with woo. They forgot the 0:41:15.090 --> 0:41:15.650 right person. 0:41:15.690 --> 0:41:18.840 Daisy's one of my favorites. I love it when Daisy 0:41:19.020 --> 0:41:20.580 comes in.

Like, 0:42:17.650 --> 0:42:21.840 we love filet mignons as a human, right? What would 0:42:21.860 --> 0:42:24.560 be an owl's filet mignon? Well, first of all, this 0:42:24.620 --> 0:42:25.919 is a screech owl, right? 0:42:26.260 --> 0:42:26.760 Correct. 0:42:26.860 --> 0:42:29.969 Eastern screech owl. Is this the smallest of the owl 0:42:30.010 --> 0:42:31.270 breeds that we have in the States? 0:42:31.390 --> 0:42:33.330 Yes, the smallest in Florida, for sure. 0:42:33.570 --> 0:42:35.870 Okay, so this would be like the filet mignon for 0:42:35.910 --> 0:42:36.950 like a barred owl? 0:42:37.130 --> 0:42:37.780 Possibly. 0:42:37.800 --> 0:42:41.580 A little snack for a barred owl. You know, you've 0:42:41.620 --> 0:42:44.930 got the right animal, just the wrong part. All raptors 0:42:45.060 --> 0:42:46.820 universally love beef hearts. 0:42:47.100 --> 0:42:47.940 Do they really? 0:42:47.980 --> 0:42:51.380 Yes. I was not expecting that. 0:42:51.520 --> 0:42:53.000 They probably couldn't get in the wild. 0:42:53.060 --> 0:42:54.620 They're all Peruvian. 0:42:54.680 --> 0:42:57.040 But you can actually go to Publix. You can ask 0:42:57.080 --> 0:43:00.629 the butcher for a beef heart. They're very expensive. Some 0:43:00.670 --> 0:43:02.610 humans do eat them. I'm told it's delicious. 0:43:02.650 --> 0:43:04.170 Yeah, I'm telling you, it's a Peruvian staple. 0:43:04.230 --> 0:43:04.529 It really is. 0:43:04.570 --> 0:43:05.410 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:43:05.430 --> 0:43:06.989 But the birds love it. 0:43:07.090 --> 0:43:07.689 I wonder why. 0:43:07.710 --> 0:43:09.590 Is it because of the iron. 0:43:09.430 --> 0:43:09.910 Level or something? 0:43:09.930 --> 0:43:10.310 I would imagine. 0:43:10.330 --> 0:43:10.950 I don't know. 0:43:11.510 --> 0:43:12.590 It is kind of fatty. 0:43:12.610 --> 0:43:12.670 Oh. 0:43:12.969 --> 0:43:15.839 So I imagine it's like partly that, but it's like 0:43:15.900 --> 0:43:16.739 candy for these guys. 0:43:16.760 --> 0:43:17.899 They go absolutely nuts. 0:43:17.940 --> 0:43:18.740 Wow. That's crazy. 0:43:18.760 --> 0:43:19.740 Can you get her to talk? 0:43:19.880 --> 0:43:20.420 Was that the owl? 0:43:20.440 --> 0:43:22.160 You know, Billy's not a big talker. 0:43:22.239 --> 0:43:22.800 She's not? 0:43:22.920 --> 0:43:23.500 No. 0:43:23.719 --> 0:43:26.850 I mean, not during the day. At night, she's pretty chatty. 0:43:26.969 --> 0:43:27.850 Yeah, like she chatted up. 0:43:27.969 --> 0:43:29.609 You know, she'll mostly only talk to other owls. 0:43:29.670 --> 0:43:31.790 We're trash. 0:43:32.750 --> 0:43:33.910 What was that, Ross? 0:43:34.050 --> 0:43:36.970 No, I thought I heard a noise. Did someone? That 0:43:36.989 --> 0:43:39.759 was Deborah. Oh, I was like, damn, did the owls chirp? 0:43:39.840 --> 0:43:41.000 It was not bad, though. 0:43:41.020 --> 0:43:41.760 That was close. 0:43:41.820 --> 0:43:42.060 Yeah. 0:43:42.460 --> 0:43:46.200 I used to call her the owls when I lived 0:43:46.239 --> 0:43:49.500 in Delaney Park. So Billie Owlish has been with you 0:43:49.540 --> 0:43:50.719 guys for quite a while now. 0:43:50.920 --> 0:43:51.480 She has. 0:43:51.520 --> 0:43:54.819 She turned six or seven this year. And she's been 0:43:54.840 --> 0:43:57.279 with us since she was like tiny, like three weeks old. 0:43:57.430 --> 0:43:59.469 She came in like the size of a marshmallow. 0:43:59.550 --> 0:44:00.089 Right, yeah. 0:44:00.140 --> 0:44:02.049 And she had an infection in both her eyes. She 0:44:02.070 --> 0:44:03.710 just got it out in the wild. It happens. 0:44:04.170 --> 0:44:07.170 But it destroyed one of her eyes. So it's very 0:44:07.210 --> 0:44:11.569 hard to hunt without death perception. Sometimes adult owls can 0:44:11.610 --> 0:44:13.170 figure it out if they've already learned to hunt and 0:44:13.190 --> 0:44:15.750 they lose an eye, but a baby who's never had 0:44:15.790 --> 0:44:16.370 the eye. 0:44:16.290 --> 0:44:17.589 Is just impossible. 0:44:17.770 --> 0:44:18.110 Yeah. 0:44:18.190 --> 0:44:21.109 And she's just kind of been an ambassador since that moment, correct? Yeah. Well, 0:44:21.150 --> 0:44:21.770 she was with us. 0:44:21.710 --> 0:44:25.200 So small that like, she's really chill. You know, I 0:44:25.239 --> 0:44:27.400 say she's my chillest soldier. She's the one I take 0:44:27.420 --> 0:44:28.680 to events and preschools. 0:44:28.739 --> 0:44:36.270 Are owls found on every continent? Except Antarctica. 0:44:36.670 --> 0:44:39.410 Okay. Wow, really? So there's not like a snow owl? 0:44:39.550 --> 0:44:41.360 I thought there was. Oh, there is. Yeah, there's a 0:44:41.360 --> 0:44:43.900 snow owl. They're beautiful, my God, man. Yeah, but they 0:44:43.920 --> 0:44:45.340 don't chill in Antarctica? 0:44:45.580 --> 0:44:46.580 No, they're north. 0:44:47.040 --> 0:44:49.080 I guess there's no trees in Antarctica. 0:44:49.140 --> 0:44:52.110 I have seen one snowy owl in my whole life. 0:44:52.489 --> 0:44:53.430 One snowy owl. 0:44:53.450 --> 0:44:53.520 Woo! 0:44:53.960 --> 0:44:54.480 In the wild? 0:44:54.840 --> 0:44:55.440 In the wild. 0:44:55.460 --> 0:44:56.440 We're talking wild. 0:44:56.500 --> 0:44:59.660 In the wild, in Wisconsin, in the wintertime. It had 0:44:59.719 --> 0:45:02.180 come and flown and landed on the top of a theater. 0:45:02.260 --> 0:45:06.700 That bird had to have been huge. It was huge. 0:45:07.620 --> 0:45:10.839 Wingspan alone. Very rare to see a snowy owl. 0:45:11.469 --> 0:45:12.850 I've only ever seen one in a zoo. 0:45:13.110 --> 0:45:16.590 Really, yeah. How often do you make the mistake with Ratfinger? 0:45:17.530 --> 0:45:20.330 and do stuff on your face with rat finger. Do 0:45:20.630 --> 0:45:22.950 you accidentally, like if something happens on your face, you 0:45:22.989 --> 0:45:24.569 forget you have rat finger and you reach up there 0:45:24.590 --> 0:45:26.319 and scratch it with rat finger? Yeah, all the time. 0:45:26.340 --> 0:45:27.540 Is it like poop chalk? 0:45:27.640 --> 0:45:30.060 I'll like find it in my hair when I shower. 0:45:30.080 --> 0:45:31.800 One time I found a whole mouse in my pocket. 0:45:31.860 --> 0:45:32.440 Oh, cool. 0:45:32.640 --> 0:45:34.800 And I went through the laundry and I was like, well... 0:45:35.020 --> 0:45:36.300 His pants are ruined. 0:45:36.320 --> 0:45:41.180 Yeah, people are going to look at you and go, 0:45:41.260 --> 0:45:42.560 that's an odd climbing aid. 0:45:42.580 --> 0:45:45.940 Yeah, every zookeeper has done it. You find hay in 0:45:46.140 --> 0:45:48.360 weird places. You're sitting on the couch and you're like, 0:45:48.380 --> 0:45:49.360 why is there hay? 0:45:49.510 --> 0:45:51.590 But not an animal. You just put an animal in 0:45:51.620 --> 0:45:54.340 there like a crumpled up fiber. He ever say hi 0:45:54.360 --> 0:45:58.230 to hay? There's a mouse in my couch. Good Lord. 0:45:58.430 --> 0:46:01.210 So what's going on? We were talking before the segment. 0:46:01.230 --> 0:46:03.189 You said that things are cracking over at the center. 0:46:03.650 --> 0:46:05.629 Oh my gosh, we're going to be so busy this fall. 0:46:05.650 --> 0:46:07.469 We got a bunch of new stuff planned. You know, 0:46:07.489 --> 0:46:09.549 we built our brand new owl aviary and we're like, 0:46:10.110 --> 0:46:11.170 Halloween's on a Saturday. 0:46:11.270 --> 0:46:12.050 Let's get spooky. 0:46:12.410 --> 0:46:15.080 You know, we got these owls.

It's called 0:46:17.360 --> 0:46:18.340 Hawks and Haunts. 0:46:18.460 --> 0:46:18.900 I love it. 0:46:19.000 --> 0:46:20.660 I came up with that and I'm so proud of it. 0:46:21.880 --> 0:46:23.320 That's a doctor working hard. 0:46:24.060 --> 0:46:27.810 That's why I get paid the very medium bucks.

Super easy to find. Yes, 0:47:35.130 --> 0:47:37.910 so easy. Centrally located, easy to find. You're going to. 0:47:37.890 --> 0:47:39.910 Have the family in for Thanksgiving weekend. You're going to 0:47:39.930 --> 0:47:41.310 be looking for stuff to do anyway. 0:47:41.370 --> 0:47:43.670 Yeah, exactly. And kids love these birds, do they not? 0:47:43.710 --> 0:47:43.810 Yes. 0:47:43.830 --> 0:47:46.210 I mean, they lose their minds over these birds, don't they? 0:47:46.370 --> 0:47:47.230 Yes. Oh, my gosh. 0:47:47.290 --> 0:47:49.790 I'm sure I'll have Billy out at some point. There 0:47:49.810 --> 0:47:52.390 will be lots for the kids to do, and you 0:47:52.410 --> 0:47:53.200 can get your shopping done. 0:47:53.219 --> 0:47:53.780 It's going to be awesome. 0:47:53.800 --> 0:47:56.620 What kind of questions do they ask you guys about 0:47:56.640 --> 0:47:58.360 the birds? I mean, is there a common thing, a 0:47:58.400 --> 0:48:00.860 common trope that comes up from students who ask you 0:48:00.880 --> 0:48:01.560 about the raptors? 0:48:02.320 --> 0:48:05.540 Kids are very unpredictable. So they'll be like, who's Billy's 0:48:05.580 --> 0:48:10.950 best friend? What's Billy's favorite color? Mostly kids ask, like, 0:48:10.969 --> 0:48:13.489 what do they eat and where do they live? And like, 0:48:13.510 --> 0:48:15.750 can they spin their heads all the way around? 0:48:15.810 --> 0:48:16.270 Yeah, yeah. 0:48:16.430 --> 0:48:18.380 Which, you know, three quarters of the way. 0:48:18.400 --> 0:48:18.480 Yeah. 0:48:19.460 --> 0:48:20.120 I have a question. 0:48:20.180 --> 0:48:23.319 Another bird owl predator question is that like I'm seeing 0:48:23.360 --> 0:48:25.739 right here. I'm just doing quick research about like I 0:48:25.780 --> 0:48:28.040 want to learn more about owls quickly. And I'm seeing 0:48:28.400 --> 0:48:32.460 that like if they eat an entire mouse, right? Skeleton, everything. 0:48:32.980 --> 0:48:36.020 They just keep all the nutrients and throw up the 0:48:36.080 --> 0:48:37.759 stuff that they can't digest. 0:48:38.120 --> 0:48:39.000 Yes, sir. 0:48:39.120 --> 0:48:41.880 And that's every bird that got the two finger diet. 0:48:42.160 --> 0:48:42.600 Yeah. 0:48:43.200 --> 0:48:46.759 Well, all the raptors. So they eat things whole. You know, 0:48:46.780 --> 0:48:48.490 they don't have a fork and a knife. So the 0:48:48.700 --> 0:48:50.859 owls just swallow it whole. If I gave her a mouse, 0:48:50.880 --> 0:48:53.360 she could swallow it whole. There's fur and feathers and 0:48:53.380 --> 0:48:55.340 bones and crap that you don't want. So they just 0:48:55.440 --> 0:48:56.920 cough it up. That's an owl pellet. 0:48:57.400 --> 0:48:58.160 Wow, really? 0:48:58.180 --> 0:48:59.379 And that's why it's called owl pellet. 0:48:59.400 --> 0:49:00.140 An owl pellet. 0:49:00.160 --> 0:49:02.419 But that's also why it's really important if you have 0:49:02.500 --> 0:49:05.129 rodents to find a more natural or. 0:49:05.150 --> 0:49:05.220 Yes. 0:49:05.410 --> 0:49:09.430 Because the rodent dies, then the owl eats the rodent 0:49:09.670 --> 0:49:11.990 or the owl takes the rodent back to their nest 0:49:12.070 --> 0:49:13.310 and feeds it to their young. 0:49:13.489 --> 0:49:16.100 And now you have... Yes, exactly. 0:49:16.160 --> 0:49:19.340 Rodenticides are a big, big problem for owls. It's a 0:49:19.360 --> 0:49:20.489 lot of owls. 0:49:20.340 --> 0:49:23.910 And pesticides do. Pesticides are like really small. So she 0:49:23.930 --> 0:49:24.930 did a lot of insects. 0:49:24.950 --> 0:49:25.969 So if you poison those. 0:49:26.550 --> 0:49:28.500 You know, you're going to poison her. 0:49:28.520 --> 0:49:29.440 Well, that's crazy, man. 0:49:29.620 --> 0:49:29.859 Yeah. 0:49:29.880 --> 0:49:30.180 Yeah. 0:49:30.380 --> 0:49:32.939 So is it just the rural owls? I mean, or 0:49:33.180 --> 0:49:35.420 like owls that live kind of in because the owls 0:49:35.560 --> 0:49:38.540 live harmonious harmoniously in cities all the time. 0:49:38.620 --> 0:49:38.939 Oh, yeah. 0:49:39.239 --> 0:49:39.560 Oh, yeah. 0:49:39.580 --> 0:49:39.739 Yeah. 0:49:39.760 --> 0:49:42.640 So they would run into that rodenticide kind of thing. Oh, yeah. 0:49:42.680 --> 0:49:42.819 Yeah. 0:49:42.840 --> 0:49:44.950 You'd be surprised how much people in the country, though. 0:49:44.969 --> 0:49:46.270 Oh, really? Yeah. 0:49:46.310 --> 0:49:47.750 And pesticides on crops. 0:49:47.830 --> 0:49:48.230 Yeah. 0:49:48.250 --> 0:49:48.390 Yeah. 0:49:48.510 --> 0:49:50.169 All kinds of stuff like that. I mean, the best 0:49:50.210 --> 0:49:52.870 solution is to attract the owls, you know. When I 0:49:52.890 --> 0:49:55.050 moved into my house, I had a rat problem in 0:49:55.090 --> 0:49:56.710 the attic. And they were like, you know, put the 0:49:56.750 --> 0:49:57.310 poisons out. 0:49:57.390 --> 0:49:59.170 I didn't. But I did. 0:49:59.190 --> 0:50:00.450 Put the owl in. Yeah. 0:50:00.469 --> 0:50:02.299 I got a leaf pile in the back. I got 0:50:02.320 --> 0:50:04.860 a brush pile. I attracted a pair of great horned owls. 0:50:05.260 --> 0:50:07.520 They have babies every year. I haven't seen a rat since. 0:50:07.820 --> 0:50:08.620 No way. 0:50:08.640 --> 0:50:09.400 It's the best. 0:50:09.600 --> 0:50:12.180 It's just between that and rat snakes, it's the best 0:50:12.260 --> 0:50:13.560 way for natural protection. 0:50:13.860 --> 0:50:16.060 But the leaf pile is what drew it? 0:50:16.580 --> 0:50:17.049 Yeah. 0:50:17.110 --> 0:50:20.610 So the leaf pile gave the rats a centralized location 0:50:20.630 --> 0:50:22.270 to be. And so they're easy to hunt. 0:50:25.330 --> 0:50:25.450 Oh. 0:50:25.489 --> 0:50:30.090 So bamboo stands are very popular with rats as well, right? 0:50:30.110 --> 0:50:32.270 So Ross has a big bamboo stand that he whacked 0:50:32.290 --> 0:50:33.690 down a second ago. And I told him, I said, 0:50:33.710 --> 0:50:34.969 you got to get that thing out of there because 0:50:35.330 --> 0:50:37.300 rats go in the middle of those bamboo. And when 0:50:37.320 --> 0:50:40.379 the bamboo falls, it makes like a little cave system 0:50:40.400 --> 0:50:42.239 for them. But it brings all the owls to the yard. 0:50:42.520 --> 0:50:43.160 Yeah. 0:50:43.180 --> 0:50:46.380 Brush piles, leaf piles, they're shelter for a lot of stuff, 0:50:47.080 --> 0:50:51.029 including insects, you know, overwintering. So any of that, that 0:50:51.050 --> 0:50:54.910 can bring the prey population and then bring the predator population. 0:50:54.930 --> 0:50:56.920 And I'm sure they're quite efficient hunters. 0:50:57.160 --> 0:50:57.760 Oh, my gosh. 0:50:57.800 --> 0:50:58.160 Yeah. 0:50:58.960 --> 0:51:00.890 Well, it's kind of like having a bird feeder, right? 0:51:00.930 --> 0:51:04.609 You have a bird feeder. It attracts your songbirds or whatever. 0:51:04.640 --> 0:51:07.560 Then the feed that falls on the ground attracts the rats. 0:51:07.660 --> 0:51:08.040 Right, yeah. 0:51:08.060 --> 0:51:10.240 And so the snakes will hang around your bird feeder 0:51:10.280 --> 0:51:12.239 because they know that's where they can eat the rats. 0:51:12.280 --> 0:51:13.960 That's exactly what happened in my house in Geneva. We 0:51:13.980 --> 0:51:15.520 had one of those that stuck to the window so 0:51:15.560 --> 0:51:16.600 you could watch them doing it. 0:51:16.600 --> 0:51:16.839 Right. 0:51:16.940 --> 0:51:19.620 And saw a gigantic black saint right below it because 0:51:19.660 --> 0:51:20.900 that's exactly what was happening. 0:51:20.940 --> 0:51:22.299 Yeah, they know they're getting a free meal. 0:51:25.830 --> 0:51:28.670 This whole time you've just been feeding this owl rat corpse, 0:51:28.890 --> 0:51:30.730 and I want to say thank you. 0:51:30.770 --> 0:51:32.950 I appreciate that. It's a little meatball. 0:51:34.489 --> 0:51:36.140 I did want to ask you, though, Daisy, because we've 0:51:36.180 --> 0:51:38.080 had a couple people text us this, and I really 0:51:38.120 --> 0:51:41.800 don't know the answer. But a couple people texted us 0:51:42.020 --> 0:51:45.680 at 77031 wondering if Hedwig in Harry Potter, was that 0:51:45.719 --> 0:51:46.459 a snowy owl? 0:51:46.700 --> 0:51:49.100 She was supposed to be a snowy owl. I know 0:51:49.120 --> 0:51:52.060 a stupid number of facts about that owl, you guys. 0:51:52.480 --> 0:51:52.980 No, that's cool. 0:51:53.000 --> 0:51:56.180 It was actually like 10 separate owl actors. The main 0:51:56.239 --> 0:51:59.620 one was Gizmo. But they're actually all males because in 0:51:59.660 --> 0:52:02.260 Snowy Owls, the males are pure white and the females 0:52:02.300 --> 0:52:04.219 actually have a lot of black spots and they wanted 0:52:04.239 --> 0:52:05.200 her to look pure white. 0:52:05.260 --> 0:52:06.040 So it's a male. 0:52:07.050 --> 0:52:09.270 And if you watch the movie very closely, her eyes 0:52:09.450 --> 0:52:11.990 change color from yellow to orange. And those are the different. 0:52:12.620 --> 0:52:15.660 Oh, wow. Okay, there you go. There you go. Who 0:52:15.780 --> 0:52:17.020 knew they had different eye colors? 0:52:17.260 --> 0:52:20.730 Yeah, so snowy owls can be yellow-eyed or amber-eyed. 0:52:21.150 --> 0:52:23.090 Is there a difference for the yellow and amber? 0:52:23.130 --> 0:52:25.390 No, not really. Just like humans, you might have different 0:52:25.410 --> 0:52:25.609 eye colors. 0:52:25.890 --> 0:52:28.150 I've just noticed because when Jack will put the owls 0:52:28.290 --> 0:52:30.710 up on the fourth box sometimes on our YouTube channel, 0:52:30.750 --> 0:52:33.550 I wonder, well, why are their eyes orange and their 0:52:33.680 --> 0:52:34.200 eyes are yellow? 0:52:34.219 --> 0:52:35.660 But it's just a difference. 0:52:35.680 --> 0:52:38.260 Screech owls have the same. Billy has, well, her pupil 0:52:38.280 --> 0:52:41.360 is huge right now. She has very yellow eyes.

Scott does write for The Sentinel. You can 0:56:47.780 --> 0:56:50.020 read his columns Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. He has a 0:56:50.040 --> 0:56:54.200 column in today's paper regarding choosing and voting for judges, 0:56:54.239 --> 0:56:55.620 and I think we have a couple other things as well. 0:56:55.640 --> 0:57:00.689 How you doing, buddy? How's your week been? Terrible. why 0:57:00.710 --> 0:57:03.589 terrible why is your wheat been terrible you do have 0:57:03.660 --> 0:57:05.500 a you do have a face of pain on today 0:57:05.540 --> 0:57:08.140 like you got something uh taxing you what's up. 0:57:09.100 --> 0:57:13.580 Our world went to stir-fried hell yesterday when uh you 0:57:13.600 --> 0:57:16.640 tell me if you've ever heard this before cindy and 0:57:16.720 --> 0:57:19.180 i are uh both working in the house during the 0:57:19.220 --> 0:57:22.080 day And all of a sudden the power starts to go. 0:57:22.860 --> 0:57:26.040 Like basically our power lines to our house decided after 0:57:26.040 --> 0:57:27.740 50 years, they'd done enough. 0:57:28.200 --> 0:57:30.480 They were calling it quits. 0:57:30.880 --> 0:57:33.300 So we are sitting in the house and the air 0:57:33.320 --> 0:57:35.850 conditioning goes down and we're like, I don't look good. 0:57:36.270 --> 0:57:39.510 And about 10 minutes later, the fridge goes down and 0:57:39.530 --> 0:57:42.570 then the microwave and the TV. And then we get 0:57:42.650 --> 0:57:44.650 to about an hour into this thing. And the only 0:57:44.690 --> 0:57:47.950 thing we got left is lights and internet. Uh, left 0:57:47.970 --> 0:57:50.530 in our house and, uh, we call it, uh, you know, the, oh, 0:57:50.550 --> 0:57:52.430 you see, and they're like, oh yeah, you got a problem. 0:57:52.670 --> 0:57:58.190 You know, and we're checking with all the neighbors, you know, 0:57:58.210 --> 0:58:00.140 the neighbors like, Hey, everybody got a power outage. 0:58:00.160 --> 0:58:03.560 And they're like, hell no. Everything's cool and comfy over here. 0:58:04.690 --> 0:58:08.680 Apparently, after a while, power lines to your house just 0:58:08.720 --> 0:58:12.060 decide they're done. And when you live in a house 0:58:12.100 --> 0:58:15.080 like I do, built in the 70s, they can't find 0:58:15.120 --> 0:58:16.060 those lines anymore. 0:58:16.640 --> 0:58:19.940 So they just say, yeah, you don't have power anymore. 0:58:20.000 --> 0:58:21.860 Now, what they're going to do, and bless their hearts, 0:58:22.340 --> 0:58:25.310 is they just run a temporary power line. 0:58:25.590 --> 0:58:27.860 My house looks like a hobo Holiday Inn right now. 0:58:28.190 --> 0:58:33.090 It's just got a giant Fred Flintstone-like cord. running from 0:58:33.110 --> 0:58:35.910 the street into the side duct tape and everything like 0:58:35.930 --> 0:58:37.710 this was power in our house right now. 0:58:37.680 --> 0:58:40.770 Like you're plugged into the county yeah yeah. 0:58:41.480 --> 0:58:43.040 That's right it looks like something you'd see on a 0:58:43.080 --> 0:58:45.420 saturday morning cartoon where somebody's like. 0:58:45.280 --> 0:58:47.320 Now we're not now the house is gonna run it 0:58:47.340 --> 0:58:49.860 looks like you're stealing a lot of cable hold. 0:58:49.780 --> 0:58:53.180 On dude didn't you just get struck by lightning last 0:58:53.220 --> 0:58:55.820 year didn't you just have to replace all your appliances 0:58:55.860 --> 0:58:58.360 and televisions just not even 18 months ago. 0:58:59.100 --> 0:59:01.500 We sure did, Jim. And we were sort of wondering, 0:59:01.520 --> 0:59:04.080 how can this happen again? Fortunately, it wasn't that. Unfortunately, 0:59:04.100 --> 0:59:08.090 this is the power company. And they will ultimately dig 0:59:08.150 --> 0:59:09.970 up our entire yard and put new power. 0:59:10.220 --> 0:59:13.180 Lines in it. But I just never heard of the 0:59:13.220 --> 0:59:17.350 power lines deciding they were done. Wow. That's all they do. 0:59:17.470 --> 0:59:20.210 It's so wild to have those things check out one 0:59:20.270 --> 0:59:24.070 after the other. It goes down like domino effect of 0:59:24.110 --> 0:59:26.220 just checking out completely. That's crazy. 0:59:27.070 --> 0:59:30.070 Yeah, it was very strange, and also a nice 90-degree 0:59:30.110 --> 0:59:31.760 day to not have heat for eight hours. 0:59:31.800 --> 0:59:33.360 I mean, not have power for eight hours. 0:59:33.400 --> 0:59:33.540 Wow. 0:59:33.740 --> 0:59:34.060 You know what? 0:59:34.280 --> 0:59:36.610 These are all first-world problems, but when you asked me 0:59:36.620 --> 0:59:39.130 how it was going, it was a day yesterday. 0:59:39.290 --> 0:59:42.270 It was one. One of them. Yeah. Yeah, very good. 0:59:42.640 --> 0:59:44.180 Let's get to the column. Of course, Scott does write 0:59:44.200 --> 0:59:47.070 for the Orlando Sentinel. Like I said, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. 0:59:47.110 --> 0:59:50.310 Today's column was about choosing judges. And it was interesting 0:59:50.330 --> 0:59:52.470 that I read that today because my wife has a 0:59:52.610 --> 0:59:56.330 theory on voting for judges. She says, vote them out 0:59:56.450 --> 1:00:00.560 every time. Vote them out every time. They've had a run. 1:00:00.600 --> 1:00:02.580 Let's get new judges in there. Vote them out every 1:00:02.620 --> 1:00:05.000 single time. Now, of course, your column doesn't agree with that. 1:00:05.020 --> 1:00:06.580 I think there's four up for grabs. And you say 1:00:06.600 --> 1:00:09.590 that three are worth retaining and one doesn't necessarily have 1:00:09.620 --> 1:00:10.250 the best record. 1:00:11.110 --> 1:00:13.560 That's basically what I said, though. Admittedly, I don't even 1:00:13.600 --> 1:00:16.920 feel strongly about those three. I was recapping the editorial board. 1:00:17.160 --> 1:00:19.100 But one of the things I was writing about, the 1:00:19.160 --> 1:00:21.300 reasons I was writing about this is because if your 1:00:21.360 --> 1:00:23.140 wife says vote him out, I can tell you that 1:00:23.200 --> 1:00:25.640 she is in the distinct minority because there are two 1:00:25.680 --> 1:00:29.220 kinds of judges elections. There are the traditional elections that 1:00:29.260 --> 1:00:31.860 most people are familiar with. Two people, you know, Jane 1:00:31.880 --> 1:00:34.320 Doe and John Doe or John Schmoe, they run against 1:00:34.360 --> 1:00:36.920 each other and everybody decides who wants to be a judge. 1:00:37.300 --> 1:00:40.760 But after a judge gets appointed to a big court, 1:00:41.110 --> 1:00:45.600 like the Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals, Florida 1:00:45.700 --> 1:00:49.100 theoretically has a checks and balance. It's called merit retention. 1:00:49.800 --> 1:00:52.580 And voters in Florida get to decide whether these high 1:00:52.680 --> 1:00:54.820 court justices get to keep their seats. 1:00:54.840 --> 1:00:57.310 It doesn't work that way in the United States Supreme Court. 1:00:57.810 --> 1:01:01.230 But never in the history of Florida have voters ever 1:01:01.290 --> 1:01:03.850 decided to vote out a sitting judge on one of 1:01:03.890 --> 1:01:04.250 these things. 1:01:04.430 --> 1:01:06.630 Zero times in, I don't think it's been a half 1:01:06.670 --> 1:01:07.630 century or something like that. 1:01:08.950 --> 1:01:12.230 And I can't claim to be an expert on all 1:01:12.350 --> 1:01:16.620 of the appellate judges, but our editorial board studies a 1:01:16.660 --> 1:01:18.360 lot of these things. And they looked at four that 1:01:18.380 --> 1:01:21.380 are on the ballots this year and all were appointed 1:01:21.420 --> 1:01:24.060 by Republicans. And they said three of these have done 1:01:24.160 --> 1:01:28.300 fine jobs. They should go. But one Supreme Court justice 1:01:28.320 --> 1:01:31.590 named Carlos Muniz needs to go. And that is a 1:01:31.610 --> 1:01:34.150 guy who I heartily recommended does need to go. And 1:01:34.190 --> 1:01:36.490 I can say that because I watched him long before 1:01:36.910 --> 1:01:39.290 He was a Supreme Court justice back when he was 1:01:39.330 --> 1:01:43.450 basically sort of a bag man for Pam Bondi. You 1:01:43.490 --> 1:01:46.050 may remember the Trump University scandal. 1:01:46.170 --> 1:01:46.770 Oh, yeah, yeah. 1:01:47.270 --> 1:01:49.930 When the short version of that was people felt like 1:01:49.950 --> 1:01:53.810 they got swindled. People in two states mainly complained to 1:01:53.860 --> 1:01:57.960 their state's prosecutors, people in Florida and in New York. 1:01:58.560 --> 1:02:01.780 In Florida, they complained to Pam Bondi. Donald Trump made 1:02:01.820 --> 1:02:05.230 a $ 50, 000 donation to Pam Bondi. And then Pam Bondi's 1:02:05.310 --> 1:02:10.190 office decided not to investigate. Carlos Muniz, as her deputy 1:02:10.210 --> 1:02:13.120 chief of staff and I mean, deputy attorney general and 1:02:13.340 --> 1:02:15.680 chief of staff was one of those who justified, you know, 1:02:15.720 --> 1:02:17.439 this was this was an OK thing we did. 1:02:17.900 --> 1:02:20.800 Meanwhile, up in Florida, they ran with it and. 1:02:20.740 --> 1:02:25.850 They got all kinds of remuneration for remuneration for people 1:02:25.910 --> 1:02:29.030 up there who'd been scammed. So Same complaints, two different states. 1:02:29.170 --> 1:02:32.770 People once got justice and the other did not. And 1:02:32.810 --> 1:02:34.770 another thing I watched them on is there was a story. 1:02:34.810 --> 1:02:37.690 This was like 15 years ago. 60 Minutes did this 1:02:37.730 --> 1:02:41.030 story on mortgage fraud and investigators in the state. You 1:02:41.070 --> 1:02:44.340 may remember back in the 2010s, people were getting booted 1:02:44.390 --> 1:02:46.340 out of their house for no good reason. 1:02:46.360 --> 1:02:46.620 Yeah, yeah. 1:02:46.860 --> 1:02:49.919 For all sorts of technicalities. And there were these two 1:02:50.020 --> 1:02:53.200 hard-nosed investigators in the attorney general's office that were doing 1:02:53.280 --> 1:02:54.520 such a good job. 1:02:54.260 --> 1:02:58.010 Standing up for taxpayers. that 60 Minutes profiled them. 1:02:58.250 --> 1:03:00.310 And they were basically like, these are the only two 1:03:00.370 --> 1:03:03.390 women who are standing between people unfairly losing their homes 1:03:03.610 --> 1:03:05.280 and standing up to the mortgage industry. 1:03:05.620 --> 1:03:07.220 Well, Pam Bondi fired them. 1:03:07.560 --> 1:03:10.080 And the reason she fired them was because her chief 1:03:10.160 --> 1:03:13.890 of staff slash deputy attorney general, Carlos Muniz, heard complaints. 1:03:15.220 --> 1:03:17.440 uh from the mortgage industry the office did and then 1:03:17.480 --> 1:03:20.440 muniz uh uh sort of justified their ousting and they 1:03:20.460 --> 1:03:23.470 were fired so like these two celebrated people uh for 1:03:23.490 --> 1:03:25.950 standing up for consumers were gotten rid of and that's 1:03:25.990 --> 1:03:27.770 all i need to know that that's not a guy 1:03:27.910 --> 1:03:31.670 i want at the top court when when uh companies 1:03:31.730 --> 1:03:34.220 are asking for the rights to sort of uh take 1:03:34.260 --> 1:03:36.600 advantage of consumers i don't want him passing judgment so 1:03:36.620 --> 1:03:39.140 anyway i'm voting no on that i do not suffer 1:03:39.220 --> 1:03:42.480 any delusions that he will be tossed out of office because, 1:03:42.520 --> 1:03:46.130 like I say, no Supreme Court justice has ever been 1:03:46.170 --> 1:03:47.410 tossed out of office in Florida. 1:03:47.430 --> 1:03:48.990 But if they're going to ask me, I know what 1:03:49.030 --> 1:03:51.250 I think. Sure thing. That's crazy. Like I said, I 1:03:51.270 --> 1:03:54.180 read the story today, and that's just the start of it, right? 1:03:54.390 --> 1:03:55.760 There's more with this guy, is there not? 1:03:56.840 --> 1:03:59.479 Well, he's also part of the– the Ed Board also 1:03:59.500 --> 1:04:03.300 made the case that this Supreme Court has just gone 1:04:03.360 --> 1:04:05.440 off the rails and they say he's part of that. 1:04:05.780 --> 1:04:08.100 And I think you could debate. Some of the decisions 1:04:08.140 --> 1:04:10.880 are debatable. I think one where they're really right is 1:04:10.920 --> 1:04:15.070 the gerrymandering. You may remember DeSantis called this special session. 1:04:15.150 --> 1:04:17.930 He wanted to rush to gerrymandering. I don't think anybody, 1:04:17.970 --> 1:04:20.050 I mean, it was you. In fact, Jim, you talked, 1:04:20.090 --> 1:04:21.990 I think you may have been talking about this before 1:04:22.030 --> 1:04:24.030 anybody else put it on my radar. It was like 1:04:24.090 --> 1:04:27.880 Texas and California were like, we are going to intentionally force, 1:04:28.520 --> 1:04:31.450 you know, designed the state to benefit our party unabashedly. 1:04:31.630 --> 1:04:35.540 Well, that's not OK by the Florida Constitution. It's not Florida. 1:04:36.000 --> 1:04:36.140 Yeah. 1:04:36.820 --> 1:04:37.780 You can debate whether it's. 1:04:37.760 --> 1:04:40.780 OK in life, but it's not legal in Florida because 1:04:40.960 --> 1:04:43.940 voters said we don't we don't want to allow that. 1:04:44.240 --> 1:04:47.020 Yet the Supreme Court gave a green light. And when 1:04:47.040 --> 1:04:50.780 that was initially offered up by Governor DeSantis, didn't that 1:04:50.890 --> 1:04:53.450 get didn't that get some pushback even from Republicans in 1:04:53.470 --> 1:04:55.390 the House here in Florida as well or no? Was 1:04:55.410 --> 1:04:57.470 that green lit from the very beginning? I thought for 1:04:57.510 --> 1:04:59.530 some reason I mentioned that when they mentioned that, that 1:04:59.550 --> 1:05:01.350 they they got some pushback because, of course, they've had 1:05:01.390 --> 1:05:03.890 a contentious relationship since. the entire time and not the 1:05:03.930 --> 1:05:05.820 entire time but you know many years he's been in 1:05:05.890 --> 1:05:07.820 office the house has always had a little weird thing 1:05:07.860 --> 1:05:09.240 with them but do you remember that or. 1:05:09.240 --> 1:05:12.100 No they they i think there was originally but the 1:05:12.420 --> 1:05:14.240 you know the sort of the story in tallahassee has 1:05:14.280 --> 1:05:16.820 been some push back to sort of you know you 1:05:16.860 --> 1:05:19.270 know rotate him a little bit and then ultimately give 1:05:19.310 --> 1:05:21.250 him what he wants the same thing with amendment three 1:05:21.310 --> 1:05:22.590 they you know they said we're not going to do 1:05:22.630 --> 1:05:23.450 this and then they. 1:05:23.390 --> 1:05:26.930 Did this right yeah yeah so crazy what else is 1:05:26.970 --> 1:05:29.330 out there buddy what you got going Well, I also 1:05:29.370 --> 1:05:31.290 just posted something I shared. 1:05:31.310 --> 1:05:33.730 I think it was probably part of your news earlier 1:05:33.770 --> 1:05:37.870 this week, but RJ Middy, you may know him as 1:05:37.970 --> 1:05:39.330 the Walter White Jr. 1:05:39.410 --> 1:05:41.630 From Breaking Bad. Yeah. 1:05:42.590 --> 1:05:46.430 And it was a terribly tragic story that he passed 1:05:46.490 --> 1:05:50.170 away on Monday as a result of his family says suicide. 1:05:50.850 --> 1:05:53.910 And there's been a lot written about that. But what 1:05:53.990 --> 1:05:57.330 thing I did not think most people here know is 1:05:57.430 --> 1:06:02.660 that he was Big time plugged in to United Cerebral Palsy. 1:06:02.720 --> 1:06:06.020 Like it was his number one charity. He lived in Brownsville, Texas. Obviously, 1:06:06.040 --> 1:06:08.610 he worked in Hollywood, other places like that. But when 1:06:08.650 --> 1:06:11.790 he died on Monday, yesterday, his family came out and 1:06:11.930 --> 1:06:14.700 told this millions of fans he died. They said, if 1:06:14.720 --> 1:06:16.940 you want to do anything to honor RJ, please make 1:06:16.980 --> 1:06:21.100 a donation to United Cerebral Palsy. And RJ, as you 1:06:21.120 --> 1:06:23.530 may know, he played a kid with cerebral palsy on 1:06:23.590 --> 1:06:24.230 Breaking Bad. 1:06:24.310 --> 1:06:26.650 He had cerebral palsy in real life. 1:06:27.270 --> 1:06:30.230 And he was just a big believer in telling kids 1:06:30.310 --> 1:06:33.190 that your disease or your disability should not define you. 1:06:33.710 --> 1:06:36.390 And he'd been coming out here every year, sometimes twice 1:06:36.450 --> 1:06:40.040 a year, just to inspire these kids and volunteer. And 1:06:40.060 --> 1:06:44.150 at this past year's big fundraiser, He and his fiance 1:06:44.190 --> 1:06:46.550 and my wife and I actually spent some time together 1:06:47.150 --> 1:06:48.660 at the same table and got to know him a 1:06:48.680 --> 1:06:49.070 little bit. 1:06:49.140 --> 1:06:50.140 And one of the. 1:06:50.100 --> 1:06:52.040 Things that struck both of us was that he didn't 1:06:52.400 --> 1:06:54.520 want to talk about celebrity. He's still making movies. He's 1:06:54.560 --> 1:06:56.780 still doing things like that. But he wasn't interested in 1:06:56.820 --> 1:06:59.760 talking about typical Hollywood stuff. All he wanted to talk 1:06:59.800 --> 1:07:03.000 about was helping these kids, some of whom can't lift 1:07:03.060 --> 1:07:06.140 up their own heads, some of whom use feeding tubes. 1:07:06.550 --> 1:07:09.710 And he was saying those kids deserve every opportunity ever. 1:07:09.990 --> 1:07:12.910 That your kids deserve and they get a hard row 1:07:12.950 --> 1:07:15.450 in life. And so I'm here to help an organization 1:07:15.490 --> 1:07:18.740 that did. So it was it was pretty devastating to 1:07:18.840 --> 1:07:20.520 fans of his that he took his life. And that's 1:07:20.560 --> 1:07:23.300 a complicated thing. I would never presume to understand what 1:07:23.340 --> 1:07:25.290 was going on there. But I did think it was 1:07:25.330 --> 1:07:27.590 worth people. I didn't think it was worth knowing for 1:07:27.640 --> 1:07:29.480 people around here that this is a guy who committed 1:07:29.500 --> 1:07:32.700 a lot of time to helping disabled children here in Orlando. 1:07:32.820 --> 1:07:35.620 And even the kind of even again, you will never 1:07:35.720 --> 1:07:38.420 understand when somebody is in the throes of that and 1:07:38.440 --> 1:07:41.060 they consider taking their own life. But I'd even read 1:07:41.100 --> 1:07:43.540 that he was doing events up until like a couple 1:07:43.560 --> 1:07:46.260 of days before this before it happened. Like he was. 1:07:46.610 --> 1:07:49.910 doing charity events and hosting stuff like literally the day before. 1:07:50.230 --> 1:07:54.410 There's a couple of heartbreaking podcast appearances that it's, that's 1:07:54.510 --> 1:07:57.370 one of the worst parts is that whenever something like 1:07:57.390 --> 1:07:59.750 this happens, you, then you look at the quick, you know, 1:07:59.830 --> 1:08:02.300 recent memory of things that he's been a part of. 1:08:02.710 --> 1:08:05.790 And there's some just really heart wrenching interviews that are 1:08:05.810 --> 1:08:09.530 now being resurfaced and they're tough to watch. 1:08:10.850 --> 1:08:11.150 Yeah. 1:08:11.290 --> 1:08:13.290 And one of the ones Ross mentioned, I think was, 1:08:13.960 --> 1:08:15.520 I mean, I don't remember when it was recorded, but 1:08:15.540 --> 1:08:19.440 I think it aired the day before he died. And 1:08:19.479 --> 1:08:24.180 you've seen actors like Bryan Cranston, the star, say he 1:08:24.240 --> 1:08:28.110 and RJ had been making plans to have lunch last week, 1:08:28.229 --> 1:08:29.970 and it was going to come soon. 1:08:30.050 --> 1:08:32.070 And so people don't understand it. 1:08:32.130 --> 1:08:33.870 I think it can be a fool's errand to try 1:08:33.910 --> 1:08:37.650 to understand that there's something not working a lot of time. 1:08:38.250 --> 1:08:40.460 But I think the reason this one hit pretty hard 1:08:40.520 --> 1:08:43.240 is this was a guy who– Just made it his life. 1:08:43.280 --> 1:08:45.180 He felt like he had so much to give. 1:08:45.320 --> 1:08:47.220 He loved to stand in front of kids and say, 1:08:47.760 --> 1:08:50.099 you know, I was diagnosed at age three and people 1:08:50.100 --> 1:08:52.910 thought you're never going to do what all the other 1:08:52.910 --> 1:08:55.580 kids and grownups do. And every year he wanted to 1:08:55.580 --> 1:08:57.500 go and say, you can you can do this and 1:08:57.560 --> 1:09:00.900 don't let anybody else set your definition of your boundaries. 1:09:01.080 --> 1:09:04.040 So puzzling, so puzzling Scott, because he had already accomplished 1:09:04.100 --> 1:09:06.470 so much. He'd already, you know, he, he, he'd kind 1:09:06.510 --> 1:09:10.169 of persevered through the idea of having this debilitating disease, 1:09:10.510 --> 1:09:12.610 had a film career, had a television career, was part 1:09:12.630 --> 1:09:14.510 of what is most people consider the best TV show 1:09:14.530 --> 1:09:18.020 that's ever been made. Um, and you could never understand, like, 1:09:18.060 --> 1:09:20.880 how could somebody with that, that going, you know, have, 1:09:21.120 --> 1:09:23.980 and then be engaged up until the moment of, you know, 1:09:24.020 --> 1:09:26.180 what led to that? And you're, I agree. It is 1:09:26.200 --> 1:09:30.170 a fool's errand. No way possible to know. It's, but yeah, uh, 34, 1:09:30.170 --> 1:09:33.770 he's eight years old. So way too young, uh, now gone. 1:09:33.810 --> 1:09:37.070 But I know that, uh, UCP, which was originally United 1:09:37.090 --> 1:09:39.050 Cerebral Palsy here in Orlando, uh, is going to get 1:09:39.070 --> 1:09:41.440 a lot of support based on his family saying, if 1:09:41.479 --> 1:09:43.340 you loved his work, if you care about the things 1:09:43.400 --> 1:09:45.620 he did, this is the organization he would. 1:09:45.520 --> 1:09:47.780 Want you to donate to. So I thought his work 1:09:48.080 --> 1:09:51.019 was worth recognizing. Well, also a little internally here, I 1:09:51.060 --> 1:09:53.200 know that tomorrow you are going to appear on the 1:09:53.300 --> 1:09:56.049 News Junkie to debate the Amendment 3 with Sean. Is 1:09:56.060 --> 1:09:58.840 that true? That's what I understood. 1:09:58.880 --> 1:10:02.900 Debate, a friendly discussion, an exchange of ideas, whatever you 1:10:02.930 --> 1:10:05.430 want to call it. I think Jack, as program director, 1:10:05.490 --> 1:10:09.290 is hoping for blood, blood seeping through the speakers coming out. 1:10:09.750 --> 1:10:12.130 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm 1:10:12.150 --> 1:10:14.010 too bad at my job for that. I just want 1:10:14.050 --> 1:10:19.300 to see people get educated on what the true effects 1:10:19.340 --> 1:10:21.960 of Amendment 3 could bring for our communities. 1:10:22.300 --> 1:10:24.280 I saw a thing on Facebook today that I responded to, 1:10:24.320 --> 1:10:26.140 and it was somebody put up the salaries of some 1:10:26.160 --> 1:10:28.860 of these people who who lead counties, and one of 1:10:28.880 --> 1:10:30.400 the big complaints was like, how did you see that 1:10:30.420 --> 1:10:33.500 the person who runs Orange County Public Schools makes like 1:10:33.500 --> 1:10:36.030 $ 350, 000 a year? So I did a little research going 1:10:36.070 --> 1:10:38.090 back there, and I said, well, how much– what do 1:10:38.110 --> 1:10:39.630 you think the– I'll just ask you guys. What do 1:10:39.650 --> 1:10:41.750 you think the budget is for Orange County Public Schools? 1:10:41.910 --> 1:10:42.090 Yep. 1:10:43.610 --> 1:10:43.990 Oh, God. 1:10:44.010 --> 1:10:45.950 What do you think the budget is for Orange County 1:10:45.970 --> 1:10:48.690 Public Schools for one year? $ 1. 2 billion. 1:10:48.930 --> 1:10:50.940 That's what I was going to say, $ 1. 5 billion. 1:10:51.270 --> 1:10:54.759 Billion? I'll go $ 200 million. $ 200 million. How many people 1:10:54.800 --> 1:10:58.140 do you think the person who manages– Orange County Public Schools. 1:10:58.189 --> 1:11:01.559 How many employees is that? I know the answer to 1:11:01.800 --> 1:11:02.200 that one. 1:11:02.200 --> 1:11:02.260 3,500. 1:11:02.240 --> 1:11:04.120 Okay, let me give you an idea. So how much 1:11:04.160 --> 1:11:06.220 do you think an executive makes in a company that 1:11:06.520 --> 1:11:08.800 could make maybe $ 20 or $ 30 million a year and 1:11:08.840 --> 1:11:11.300 has maybe 300 employees? You think that guy makes a 1:11:11.320 --> 1:11:13.380 big $ 350K a year? Let me help. They do. And 1:11:13.420 --> 1:11:18.479 that much more. This person manages $ 8. 5 billion and 24,500 employees. Wow. 1:11:18.540 --> 1:11:21.019 For $ 350, 000. It's a deal. The dude probably should be 1:11:21.050 --> 1:11:28.809 making a million. Running an organization like that, like I've 1:11:28.820 --> 1:11:31.130 said a thousand times before, and like I said during 1:11:31.170 --> 1:11:34.540 that post, I find it unbelievably odd. that somebody could 1:11:34.600 --> 1:11:38.019 condemn someone's salary and have zero idea of what it 1:11:38.060 --> 1:11:40.640 takes to do that job. Zero. But yet they do 1:11:40.680 --> 1:11:43.480 it over and over trying to prove that Amendment 3 1:11:43.479 --> 1:11:48.019 is wasteful because they pay people who run gigantic budgets, 1:11:48.450 --> 1:11:52.290 manage unmanageable situations, and they pay them salaries that they 1:11:52.330 --> 1:11:55.510 themselves don't see themselves making so they don't think anybody 1:11:55.610 --> 1:11:57.610 else should make it if they don't think the job 1:11:57.710 --> 1:12:01.130 equals it, which is amazing to me. That is an 1:12:01.310 --> 1:12:04.550 interesting psychosis to me. How you could look at somebody 1:12:04.560 --> 1:12:06.470 and go, well, that person shouldn't make that much money 1:12:07.050 --> 1:12:09.470 because I don't think the job requires that much to 1:12:09.490 --> 1:12:11.590 make it when you don't have any idea what the 1:12:11.630 --> 1:12:14.969 job requires. Unbelievable. But it's happening over and over online. 1:12:15.330 --> 1:12:18.160 Well, I think it stems from a different thing. It's 1:12:18.240 --> 1:12:20.660 from I think it comes from a place of frustration 1:12:20.680 --> 1:12:24.240 because if they feel that way with the lack of context, well, 1:12:24.260 --> 1:12:27.280 it's because they're not happy about how things are going. 1:12:27.360 --> 1:12:27.580 Right. 1:12:27.680 --> 1:12:29.580 Understood, but why take it out on somebody who's doing 1:12:29.620 --> 1:12:31.850 a job? Couldn't agree more. Yeah, you shouldn't take it 1:12:31.860 --> 1:12:33.430 out on them. They're not doing anything wrong. They just 1:12:33.450 --> 1:12:35.130 see the number 350 and are like, well, that person 1:12:35.170 --> 1:12:37.790 doesn't deserve that. How hard could that job be? Not 1:12:37.830 --> 1:12:39.390 knowing how hard the job is at all. 1:12:41.840 --> 1:12:44.600 I got into this business to combat government waste. Like 1:12:44.620 --> 1:12:46.440 that's a lot of what we do is when there's 1:12:46.820 --> 1:12:49.680 misspending 300, I've looked at the same numbers. 1:12:49.700 --> 1:12:52.179 Jim, $ 350, 000. 1:12:50.470 --> 1:12:58.030 For managing a workforce of, it varies between 23,000 and 25,000. 1:12:58.030 --> 1:12:59.889 That seems actually low, way low. 1:13:00.170 --> 1:13:02.030 You're going to have a tough time finding a private 1:13:02.070 --> 1:13:05.660 sector company with a, who CEO oversees that many people 1:13:05.720 --> 1:13:09.640 making maybe even a third, you know, three times that much. 1:13:09.920 --> 1:13:12.330 But on top of that, Let's say you're let's say 1:13:12.350 --> 1:13:14.770 you're outraged about all those salaries. Do you know what 1:13:14.810 --> 1:13:19.809 percentage of a budget executive salaries constitute? 1:13:20.090 --> 1:13:22.770 I mean, it's a fraction of a percent. 1:13:23.460 --> 1:13:25.880 If you're pissed off, let's fire every one of the 1:13:25.939 --> 1:13:27.620 top 10 people at Orange County. 1:13:27.740 --> 1:13:28.500 And guess what? 1:13:28.820 --> 1:13:31.139 You ain't done squat to change the way the budget 1:13:31.160 --> 1:13:33.309 runs because the trash has still got to get picked up. 1:13:33.540 --> 1:13:36.200 The streets have still got to get sweeped. The library's 1:13:36.220 --> 1:13:40.180 still got to be open. Everything else goes on. And 1:13:40.200 --> 1:13:42.730 the way that it works in this state is we've 1:13:42.770 --> 1:13:46.070 decided that we want to fund local government with property taxes. 1:13:46.110 --> 1:13:48.689 We don't have income tax. That's a big deal here. 1:13:48.970 --> 1:13:49.990 We do not have income tax. 1:13:50.250 --> 1:13:51.070 We've decided. 1:13:51.450 --> 1:13:53.590 And so if you want to tell a county or 1:13:53.630 --> 1:13:56.560 a city that more than half, more than half of 1:13:56.600 --> 1:14:01.000 the homeowners no longer have to pay anything whatsoever for 1:14:01.040 --> 1:14:02.950 local government taxes, Who do you think is going to 1:14:02.970 --> 1:14:03.790 pay for it? 1:14:03.850 --> 1:14:05.349 How do you think it's going to offer it? Well, 1:14:05.370 --> 1:14:09.530 like I said during my comments, Scott, it's not stopping 1:14:09.550 --> 1:14:11.790 and it's shifting it. I mean, we'll get ready to 1:14:11.830 --> 1:14:14.050 pay more for everything else because the money has to 1:14:14.090 --> 1:14:16.830 come from somewhere. They're cutting budgets like crazy and they're 1:14:16.930 --> 1:14:20.550 still finding shortfalls. So it is a math problem that 1:14:20.590 --> 1:14:23.940 doesn't math. Yeah, I'm going to get a break. I 1:14:23.950 --> 1:14:25.920 would get a break under this thing. Absolutely. 1:14:26.180 --> 1:14:27.680 I'll take it right to the bank. 1:14:28.080 --> 1:14:28.600 My kids. 1:14:29.410 --> 1:14:33.070 who are renters, are going to see their monthly costs skyrocket. 1:14:33.450 --> 1:14:35.750 I realize there are some people who are fine with 1:14:35.790 --> 1:14:36.290 that math. 1:14:36.310 --> 1:14:37.070 You're right, exactly. 1:14:37.970 --> 1:14:38.350 I'm not. 1:14:38.750 --> 1:14:40.630 Yeah, always good seeing you, Scott. Guys, good and loud 1:14:40.650 --> 1:14:41.630 for Scott Maxwell. What do you say? 1:14:41.790 --> 1:14:45.019 Yay! 1:14:45.120 --> 1:14:46.960 What time is the Blood Fest tomorrow? What time is 1:14:46.979 --> 1:14:49.800 that happening? 2 p.m. 2 p.m., right? All right, very good. 1:14:49.820 --> 1:14:51.500 So tune in to News Junkie tomorrow at 2 o'clock. 1:14:51.560 --> 1:14:54.559 Scott Maxwell and Sean Lawson will debate Amendment 3. Always 1:14:54.600 --> 1:14:57.020 good seeing you, buddy. Like gentlemen. Yes, like gentlemen for sure. 1:14:57.520 --> 1:15:01.220 All right, 407-916-1041. Text us 77031. Back in one sec 1:15:01.260 --> 1:15:04.320 with more of the Jim Colbert Show. Because they're jealous. 1:15:05.360 --> 1:15:08.580 And they know that they will never be successful and 1:15:08.700 --> 1:15:11.710 able to put in the effort required to do the 1:15:11.750 --> 1:15:14.890 job that that person does to deserve the salary that 1:15:14.930 --> 1:15:20.130 they make. They're too lazy and too jealous to pull 1:15:20.189 --> 1:15:22.470 up their bootstraps and do the work that they need 1:15:22.510 --> 1:15:22.809 to do. 1:15:22.870 --> 1:15:24.970 So they need to bring them down and yell at 1:15:25.010 --> 1:15:28.900 them for what they make. Well, I will tell you, 1:15:28.920 --> 1:15:30.800 I think the same argument used to be made with 1:15:30.860 --> 1:15:34.020 professional athletes, with people when they saw the professional athlete salary, 1:15:34.040 --> 1:15:35.640 they're like, oh, what do they do? It's a game. 1:15:36.200 --> 1:15:39.020 But they don't understand the aspect of a professional athlete 1:15:39.100 --> 1:15:42.080 bringing 30,000 people to an arena that are going to 1:15:42.100 --> 1:15:46.040 pay $ 75 for that and pay $ 80 for food and 1:15:46.080 --> 1:15:48.300 drink while they're there. It's way more than just what 1:15:48.340 --> 1:15:51.600 that person makes. It's what they provide to whoever pays 1:15:51.620 --> 1:15:55.020 them that money. I mean, famously here in Orlando, Rich 1:15:55.060 --> 1:15:58.660 DeVos said, No athlete's worth $ 100 million. And Shaquille O'Neal 1:15:58.689 --> 1:16:01.410 went to L.A. and showed them exactly how much an 1:16:01.490 --> 1:16:03.330 athlete could be worth. And if you don't know this, 1:16:03.490 --> 1:16:07.710 I'll break the news to you. That affected our community's GDP. 1:16:08.050 --> 1:16:13.689 It did. 100%. That impacted all of Orlando's 90s history. 1:16:14.410 --> 1:16:16.370 And I think it's even a little bit more insidious 1:16:16.390 --> 1:16:18.730 than what our friend there said, our caller said, because 1:16:19.070 --> 1:16:21.970 I think there is a certain aspect of that that 1:16:23.150 --> 1:16:29.559 What's the word I'm trying to find? When you look 1:16:29.600 --> 1:16:31.519 at somebody's salary, or if you happen to know that, 1:16:31.530 --> 1:16:33.360 and this is public stuff, and you go, well, I 1:16:33.380 --> 1:16:35.519 don't think that. I don't think you. It doesn't sound 1:16:35.540 --> 1:16:37.540 like you deserve that. I'm talking to somebody online right now. 1:16:37.540 --> 1:16:37.640 $ 8. 1:16:37.540 --> 1:16:43.510 5 billion budget, 24,500 employees. I bet money if you 1:16:43.530 --> 1:16:45.850 went into the private sector and found somebody that managed 1:16:45.910 --> 1:16:49.190 a company with that many assets and that many employees, 1:16:49.450 --> 1:16:52.850 that person's probably making anywhere between $ 2. 5 million and $ 5 1:16:52.510 --> 1:16:54.370 million a year. Minimum. 1:16:56.390 --> 1:17:00.430 And for the person who has those skills able to 1:17:00.530 --> 1:17:03.190 accomplish that, there is competition out there. 1:17:03.290 --> 1:17:03.490 Yes. 1:17:03.689 --> 1:17:07.700 And there's companies of that size, whether it's a private 1:17:07.740 --> 1:17:12.040 sector or other school districts, who are willing to pay that. 1:17:12.100 --> 1:17:14.060 And again, like Scott said, if you blow out the 1:17:14.100 --> 1:17:17.420 top 10, what are you going to replace them with? 1:17:17.520 --> 1:17:19.620 It's one of those magical things where you fire a guy. 1:17:19.880 --> 1:17:21.560 You may get lucky to find somebody that will do 1:17:21.600 --> 1:17:25.500 that job for $ 350, 000, again, that's actually qualified to do 1:17:25.540 --> 1:17:29.270 that job. So it's just amazing. I don't know. It's 1:17:29.290 --> 1:17:30.850 always been wild to me when people say that, well, 1:17:30.870 --> 1:17:32.450 that person doesn't make that much money, but yet teachers 1:17:32.490 --> 1:17:34.889 make like $ 65, 000 a year. What do they deserve? 1:17:35.030 --> 1:17:37.590 The athlete one has always been a pet peeve of 1:17:37.650 --> 1:17:41.670 mine because if you've ever been around competitive sports, even 1:17:41.729 --> 1:17:45.530 on a youth level, you understand that everyone that goes 1:17:45.550 --> 1:17:49.189 to that high school football team, right? We're not talking about, 1:17:49.380 --> 1:17:52.939 not even in the county, it is so incredibly hard 1:17:52.960 --> 1:17:57.299 to become a professional athlete that your brain, my brain, 1:17:57.479 --> 1:17:58.720 can't even fathom. 1:17:58.760 --> 1:17:59.120 Sure, yeah. 1:17:59.520 --> 1:18:03.650 So, like, not to even mention injuries, that you could 1:18:03.670 --> 1:18:06.010 just snap something in college and then have it all 1:18:06.030 --> 1:18:06.490 be done. 1:18:06.670 --> 1:18:08.930 What's the average expectancy for an NFL player? It's like 1:18:08.970 --> 1:18:10.930 five years, right? I believe, what is it, not for 1:18:10.990 --> 1:18:12.870 long is what NFL stands for, right? 1:18:13.530 --> 1:18:16.980 I mean, there's so many countless stories of people wasting 1:18:17.000 --> 1:18:18.260 their money or losing their money. 1:18:18.280 --> 1:18:20.460 I have a question for you when we come back. 1:18:21.120 --> 1:18:23.360 Nothing crazy, though, but we ran a little late with Scott, 1:18:23.380 --> 1:18:26.120 so we are short already. But I'll just kind of 1:18:26.140 --> 1:18:27.680 put this in your head real quick. When did the 1:18:27.740 --> 1:18:32.620 vacation in America start? When did the idea of going 1:18:32.680 --> 1:18:34.640 on vacation start? It's not the 40s. 1:18:36.610 --> 1:18:40.220 Do you want an answer? I think it's post-World War II. 1:18:40.240 --> 1:18:43.300 I think it's the affluent society. I think it's the 50s. 1:18:43.400 --> 1:18:44.969 You don't think it was before that? Maybe with the 1:18:45.050 --> 1:18:47.150 advent of the car? Like, do you think you're taking 1:18:47.189 --> 1:18:50.470 a covered wagon on vacation? Because, I mean, where would 1:18:50.490 --> 1:18:53.680 you go? I mean, a vacation means, like, days, travels, 1:18:53.680 --> 1:18:54.240 10 miles. 1:18:54.240 --> 1:18:54.519 20 miles. 1:18:54.560 --> 1:18:55.979 I mean, you know what I'm saying? 1:18:56.240 --> 1:18:58.180 Or people going on vacations on horse. 1:18:58.200 --> 1:18:59.300 That's kind of what my point is. 1:18:59.540 --> 1:18:59.860 Yeah. 1:18:59.960 --> 1:19:00.479 Back in a sec. 1:19:01.680 --> 1:19:05.560 This is the Jim Colbert Show.

Realradio.fm slash watch. 1:19:14.700 --> 1:19:19.590 Pull yourself up by the bootstraps is quite honestly the 1:19:19.710 --> 1:19:25.710 dumbest phrase I've ever heard in my life. It's physically impossible, one. 1:19:26.410 --> 1:19:31.140 And two, no, there is no two. You can't pull 1:19:31.180 --> 1:19:34.439 yourself up by your own bootstraps anymore than you can 1:19:34.460 --> 1:19:37.240 pick yourself up off the ground by grabbing your hair 1:19:37.300 --> 1:19:38.040 and pulling it up. 1:19:39.320 --> 1:19:41.300 You can call and debate yourself anytime you want, dude. 1:19:41.400 --> 1:19:43.560 I'm going to take that. And you know what? Number two? 1:19:43.720 --> 1:19:45.020 There is a number two. 1:19:45.780 --> 1:19:46.139 All right. 1:19:46.160 --> 1:19:49.979 WIN, W-I-N, WIN is your 5 o'clock keyword.

A lot of things on the 1:20:03.960 --> 1:20:05.729 vacationing thing. I'm going to switch gears, though, because I 1:20:05.740 --> 1:20:08.130 forgot we have Ross McCoy coming in a minute. The 1:20:08.150 --> 1:20:09.990 Mo Comedy Jam is coming up this Saturday night with 1:20:10.030 --> 1:20:13.750 two Stone Cold killers that are headlining. Plus, Amy the Psychic. 1:20:14.010 --> 1:20:17.059 Her name is Amy LaCour? Amy LaCour, yes. She's going 1:20:17.070 --> 1:20:20.420 to be on that bill as well. Will Blaylock and 1:20:20.500 --> 1:20:23.160 Sean Finnerty are also on that. Amy the Counselor. She's 1:20:23.200 --> 1:20:25.860 not a psychic. She's a counselor. I keep saying the psychic. 1:20:25.880 --> 1:20:27.920 I don't know why I do that. But yeah, Amy 1:20:27.960 --> 1:20:30.349 the Counselor, who is always on the Monsters, she's going 1:20:30.360 --> 1:20:31.940 to be part of it as well. I didn't know 1:20:31.990 --> 1:20:35.250 she was a stand-up in conjunction with that. I didn't 1:20:35.270 --> 1:20:35.570 know that. 1:20:35.890 --> 1:20:38.729 She's a very good friend of mine. At least, hopefully, 1:20:38.770 --> 1:20:40.070 she feels that same way. 1:20:40.090 --> 1:20:41.990 I don't know. I never really asked her what she 1:20:42.030 --> 1:20:42.570 thought about me. 1:20:42.930 --> 1:20:45.730 But she is a talented comedian, but she's also just 1:20:45.930 --> 1:20:49.110 such a good conversation. The counseling aspect of Amy LaCour 1:20:49.370 --> 1:20:51.940 should not be overlooked. It's kind of helped me out 1:20:52.110 --> 1:20:54.320 in some ways that... I will take to the grave. 1:20:54.420 --> 1:20:54.580 Yeah. 1:20:54.640 --> 1:20:56.920 And of course, Ross will be part of that as well. 1:20:56.939 --> 1:20:58.060 It's gonna be a good ass time. I'm going to 1:20:58.080 --> 1:21:00.620 be there Saturday night. Jack's coming out Saturday night, six o'clock. 1:21:00.660 --> 1:21:03.820 It's the Mo comedy jam. Now I, I pardon me 1:21:03.860 --> 1:21:06.059 here because I do not know this, this supports something. 1:21:06.180 --> 1:21:06.720 Does it not? 1:21:07.140 --> 1:21:07.360 Yes. 1:21:07.820 --> 1:21:09.740 What does it support? I cannot remember ever. I know 1:21:09.760 --> 1:21:11.939 that he's big on these things and, and I did not, 1:21:12.240 --> 1:21:14.380 I did not see that part of the gig. Well, 1:21:14.720 --> 1:21:17.710 maybe if McCoy is doing his job, he can tell us. 1:21:17.979 --> 1:21:20.010 He's definitely going to tell us, but the reason I'm 1:21:20.050 --> 1:21:22.150 kind of doing this is, um, I wanted to kind of, uh, 1:21:22.800 --> 1:21:25.240 Daniel actually asked me earlier, he goes, are you talking 1:21:25.260 --> 1:21:27.940 about the Shane Gillis thing today? I said, well, it's 1:21:27.970 --> 1:21:30.050 been talked about a lot online and everything. I don't 1:21:30.810 --> 1:21:32.590 know what to say about the Shane Gillis thing, but 1:21:32.950 --> 1:21:34.490 we can talk about the Shane Gillis thing because you're 1:21:34.510 --> 1:21:37.110 a professional comic. Ross is coming in. He's a comic 1:21:37.170 --> 1:21:40.690 as well. So obviously, there's some things to be said there. 1:21:41.150 --> 1:21:43.910 If you didn't know, Shane Gillis did SNL this past weekend, 1:21:43.930 --> 1:21:47.490 and his monologue included a line of quote-unquote jokes that 1:21:47.510 --> 1:21:52.000 talked about When did women in gyms become whores? Dress. 1:21:52.300 --> 1:21:54.780 Dress like whores based on what they're wearing because of 1:21:54.800 --> 1:21:58.900 the way the pants fit them or whatever. Anyway, catching 1:21:58.939 --> 1:21:59.780 a bunch of crap about it. 1:22:00.300 --> 1:22:03.120 Yeah, I know we talked about it on this week's 1:22:03.360 --> 1:22:04.740 episode of Good Sauce as well. 1:22:04.770 --> 1:22:06.710 That's tonight, by the way, at 8 o'clock. It is 1:22:07.450 --> 1:22:08.750 on the tip of everyone's tongue. 1:22:08.810 --> 1:22:11.610 And I, by all means, don't think that my two 1:22:11.710 --> 1:22:13.890 cents is that radically important. 1:22:14.390 --> 1:22:15.090 Do I get my. 1:22:17.290 --> 1:22:19.550 Feelings hurt during that monologue. I did not. 1:22:19.770 --> 1:22:22.610 But I will say this is that I do think 1:22:22.689 --> 1:22:26.450 it is a drop in a larger bucket that is 1:22:26.530 --> 1:22:30.870 not overflowing, but has had more water in it than 1:22:30.930 --> 1:22:31.930 I've ever seen before. 1:22:32.070 --> 1:22:34.130 You're talking about with the idea of using language like 1:22:34.170 --> 1:22:36.680 that outwardly, as opposed to what's happened over the last 1:22:36.700 --> 1:22:38.100 like 10, 15 years with the. 1:22:38.200 --> 1:22:40.620 Uh, are also, how about this, man? I mean, just 1:22:40.660 --> 1:22:44.220 straight up misogyny, the poor timing of literally this case 1:22:44.320 --> 1:22:46.940 out in Cornell, uh, And I'm not here to debate 1:22:47.280 --> 1:22:49.420 what you think or what somebody else thinks, but that's 1:22:49.640 --> 1:22:50.269 in the news. 1:22:50.990 --> 1:22:55.090 And it's just that's not good timing. And I don't know. 1:22:55.210 --> 1:22:58.130 I just see I've had the ground change underneath me 1:22:58.330 --> 1:23:01.939 four times, I think, doing live comedy over 17 years. 1:23:03.120 --> 1:23:05.260 I don't like feeling this way, but this is my 1:23:05.340 --> 1:23:06.440 least favorite ground. 1:23:06.760 --> 1:23:08.860 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's an interesting time. 1:23:09.000 --> 1:23:12.580 I still think he's probably the funniest comedian working right now. 1:23:13.840 --> 1:23:16.120 The numbers also back that up. And to be honest 1:23:16.160 --> 1:23:18.600 with you, the laugh that I had on my couch 1:23:18.770 --> 1:23:22.450 on his live in Austin YouTube special is the hardest 1:23:22.530 --> 1:23:25.870 I've laughed at stand-up in 10 years. 1:23:25.970 --> 1:23:28.050 My thing I think that gets me the most is this. 1:23:28.290 --> 1:23:32.450 We've gone through many iterations of comics. who pushed the 1:23:32.550 --> 1:23:35.330 edge when it comes to content. We kind of know 1:23:35.370 --> 1:23:37.769 what he does. My whole thing is like, you know, 1:23:37.950 --> 1:23:40.470 it's like the frog and the scorpion story, right? You know, 1:23:40.510 --> 1:23:43.080 it's the same thing. Like, what more would you expect? 1:23:43.100 --> 1:23:44.440 Do you expect him to come out and start doing 1:23:44.500 --> 1:23:48.320 really ethereal, intellectual stuff? He's Shane Gillis. I mean, the 1:23:48.360 --> 1:23:51.800 whole idea is that whole kind of almost fake misogyny 1:23:51.820 --> 1:23:53.439 kind of thing. And I don't even know how real 1:23:53.460 --> 1:23:54.280 it is, to be honest with you. 1:23:54.560 --> 1:23:56.500 So you're saying if you're offended, you should be more 1:23:56.540 --> 1:23:58.740 mad at Saturday Night Live and Lorne Michaels? 1:23:59.210 --> 1:23:59.570 No. 1:23:59.630 --> 1:24:02.530 But you're saying you know that Shane Gillis, you know 1:24:02.570 --> 1:24:04.929 who he is. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I misunderstood your question. 1:24:04.950 --> 1:24:07.729 The problem is if you're offended by it, you're saying 1:24:07.970 --> 1:24:09.090 don't be mad at Shane Gillis. 1:24:09.130 --> 1:24:10.670 Be mad at Lorne Michaels. Yeah, because they're going to 1:24:10.689 --> 1:24:12.210 put a guy on that does that. It'd be like 1:24:12.229 --> 1:24:14.570 them inviting Dice Clay and then getting mad at Dice Clay. 1:24:14.710 --> 1:24:17.259 It's Dice Clay. That's what he does. But I just 1:24:17.270 --> 1:24:18.720 think about, you know. 1:24:19.920 --> 1:24:23.280 Half of this planet is female, and I can't look 1:24:23.320 --> 1:24:26.320 at them in their eyes off of that monologue and 1:24:26.400 --> 1:24:29.900 comfortably say, hey, it's just a joke. I can't, because 1:24:30.220 --> 1:24:33.800 I'm aware, and God knows I'm not perfect, dude, and 1:24:33.840 --> 1:24:37.269 I feel somewhat hypocritical because I'm somewhat insecure about some 1:24:37.280 --> 1:24:39.470 of the jokes that I've said in the past, even 1:24:39.550 --> 1:24:42.910 on this very station. And the one thing that I 1:24:42.950 --> 1:24:47.660 just wish other comedians maybe would do more is... Uh, I, 1:24:47.850 --> 1:24:50.530 I know I have swung and missed and I have 1:24:50.570 --> 1:24:53.970 felt so sorry and I have lost sleep over jokes. 1:24:54.010 --> 1:24:54.210 Yeah. 1:24:54.510 --> 1:24:58.030 And I just don't know how many comedians are, that's 1:24:58.110 --> 1:25:00.330 not their reaction when it's a swing and a miss. 1:25:00.350 --> 1:25:00.550 Yeah. 1:25:00.610 --> 1:25:05.150 It's usually you didn't get it. You didn't get the joke. 1:25:05.189 --> 1:25:08.160 It's just a joke. And I, I come from the 1:25:08.200 --> 1:25:11.479 thought of, I will never blame the audience. And there 1:25:11.560 --> 1:25:14.360 comes a bunch of faults with that as well. But 1:25:14.500 --> 1:25:17.900 I think the audience, for the most part, responded. 1:25:17.979 --> 1:25:20.550 But you tune into SNL and you know Shane Gillis 1:25:20.590 --> 1:25:23.090 is the host. You saw his last monologue. I mean, 1:25:23.229 --> 1:25:25.550 you see his stand-up. You hear his stand-up. He's clipped 1:25:25.630 --> 1:25:28.670 everywhere online. But you know what you're getting. Not really. 1:25:28.750 --> 1:25:30.750 But this is different. How do you say not really? 1:25:30.770 --> 1:25:33.260 I don't get it. I would say this is different 1:25:33.400 --> 1:25:33.920 off of. 1:25:34.360 --> 1:25:38.330 I've never seen a Shane Gillis... If you haven't assigned 1:25:38.370 --> 1:25:38.990 it for what you do. 1:25:39.010 --> 1:25:39.229 That's new. 1:25:39.250 --> 1:25:40.210 Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, yeah. 1:25:40.229 --> 1:25:42.570 So there's a large part of the audience that didn't 1:25:42.610 --> 1:25:43.990 know what they were going to be getting. 1:25:44.050 --> 1:25:47.730 And that's not just Shane Gillis. That's national broadcast television. 1:25:47.870 --> 1:25:49.780 And we are creatures of our surroundings. 1:25:49.860 --> 1:25:51.900 And SNL didn't know because it's live television. 1:25:52.020 --> 1:25:55.719 And there's this weird– and this is what I mean by– 1:25:55.860 --> 1:25:57.940 I think this is my least favorite ground to do 1:25:58.000 --> 1:26:02.800 stand-up underneath is because there's this weird– fake stuff is 1:26:02.840 --> 1:26:07.420 not doing well. TV shows aren't doing that great. Characters, 1:26:07.640 --> 1:26:11.920 writing a character is probably doing the worst I've ever seen. 1:26:12.300 --> 1:26:16.980 What is exploding? Stand-up comedy, because there is a real element. 1:26:17.140 --> 1:26:20.520 I end every performance with, my name's Ross Padgett, have 1:26:20.540 --> 1:26:23.720 a great night. It's not, my name's Ronald Jenkins, and 1:26:23.780 --> 1:26:26.980 I was born in 1885, and here's my story. Like, 1:26:27.360 --> 1:26:30.960 There's this weird blurring the line of real world and 1:26:31.100 --> 1:26:35.760 fake world that stand-up comedy is doing right now. So 1:26:36.780 --> 1:26:38.400 you're saying if he tells this joke in a show 1:26:38.420 --> 1:26:40.350 that you pay money to, it's not even a story. 1:26:41.100 --> 1:26:42.670 It's the fact that he did it on SNL. I'm 1:26:42.689 --> 1:26:44.429 not trying to trap you. I'm just saying it's because 1:26:44.470 --> 1:26:45.969 he did it on SNL that's the problem. 1:26:46.570 --> 1:26:51.809 I think bigger platforms do deserve bigger responsibility. 1:26:52.340 --> 1:26:54.300 Well, it's also network television. I mean, although it's in 1:26:54.320 --> 1:26:57.220 the middle of the night, it is a network TV. But, 1:26:57.280 --> 1:26:57.520 you know. 1:26:58.040 --> 1:27:02.050 Yeah, because just like you mentioned that, well, Shane Gillis, 1:27:02.070 --> 1:27:04.170 you went there. Like, if you go to his show, 1:27:04.550 --> 1:27:06.910 then you have an idea of what you're signing up for. 1:27:07.030 --> 1:27:07.189 Right. 1:27:07.229 --> 1:27:12.089 You're watching Saturday Night Live. You may or may not. Yeah, understood. 1:27:12.370 --> 1:27:14.729 For me, I look at the joke writing of like, 1:27:14.750 --> 1:27:18.229 you could have said that same exact joke by instead 1:27:18.250 --> 1:27:19.710 of saying, can we even say that. 1:27:19.610 --> 1:27:23.370 Word on air? I don't even know. Right? Whore. Yeah, 1:27:23.410 --> 1:27:26.389 you can say whore. Yeah, okay, all right. You can. 1:27:26.510 --> 1:27:28.309 Instead of saying that, if you would have just said, 1:27:28.520 --> 1:27:31.080 I didn't know girls dressed like that. Yeah. I didn't 1:27:31.100 --> 1:27:33.720 know girls dressed like that. But that's not the joke, though, right? 1:27:33.740 --> 1:27:35.080 I mean, that's not the joke you wrote. 1:27:35.120 --> 1:27:37.600 No, the joke is that Shane Gillis was at the gym. 1:27:37.810 --> 1:27:38.630 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1:27:38.670 --> 1:27:41.030 But that's the thing is that, like, that part that 1:27:41.150 --> 1:27:45.769 everyone's upset about wasn't the joke. It totally was unnecessary, 1:27:45.810 --> 1:27:48.630 if you ask me. In fact, the joke is that 1:27:48.670 --> 1:27:51.100 he's in the back of all of these TikToks. So 1:27:51.140 --> 1:27:55.420 it just seems like a completely unnecessary step. And right now, 1:27:57.120 --> 1:28:00.060 How I perceive state of comedy is that so much 1:28:00.120 --> 1:28:04.280 of it that's blowing up is jackass for words. Watch 1:28:04.340 --> 1:28:07.650 this white guy say something that he's not supposed to say. 1:28:07.990 --> 1:28:09.950 I was going to ask, do you think that movement 1:28:10.010 --> 1:28:13.370 still has the same penetrating value it had with Andrew Schultz, 1:28:13.430 --> 1:28:18.510 Theo Vaughn, Shane Gillis? I mean, the guy from Tony Hinchcliffe. 1:28:18.790 --> 1:28:21.390 Is that whole movement still alive? Because I'd heard that 1:28:21.430 --> 1:28:25.450 Hinchcliffe did a show recently in a... in an arena 1:28:25.470 --> 1:28:27.600 that would have held that five years ago because it 1:28:27.640 --> 1:28:30.290 was so hot, but hardly any sold. So I wonder 1:28:30.290 --> 1:28:32.510 if that thing kind of has run its term, and 1:28:32.510 --> 1:28:34.960 this is the what you're seeing is the first is 1:28:35.000 --> 1:28:37.400 the first blowback on that wave of that or no. 1:28:37.580 --> 1:28:37.979 I know. 1:28:38.040 --> 1:28:40.660 I think it's still exploding. And to be honest with you, 1:28:40.680 --> 1:28:42.900 there's still some parts of it that I enjoy. Like, 1:28:43.010 --> 1:28:45.050 it's so complex to me. 1:28:45.189 --> 1:28:45.410 Right. 1:28:45.970 --> 1:28:48.330 Austin's comedy scene. I was just out there and a 1:28:48.390 --> 1:28:51.470 lot of my friends have a lot of. honestly takes that. 1:28:51.530 --> 1:28:56.059 I disagree about Austin. I think it's fascinating that comedy mothership, 1:28:56.140 --> 1:29:00.880 Joe Rogan's comedy club gives every door guy, a acting class. 1:29:00.900 --> 1:29:01.139 Yeah. 1:29:01.560 --> 1:29:04.060 That makes me go, Oh, I know not a lot 1:29:04.080 --> 1:29:05.800 of people probably know that. 1:29:05.860 --> 1:29:06.120 Yeah. 1:29:06.420 --> 1:29:09.800 And trying to pursue and better these no name comedians. 1:29:09.880 --> 1:29:14.120 But there's also a side effect of like, yo, comedy 1:29:14.140 --> 1:29:17.830 is influencing way more than entertaining right now. 1:29:17.850 --> 1:29:23.790 And yeah, It's weird. I've never seen that happen before. Also, 1:29:23.810 --> 1:29:25.470 you told me you saw a show recently where people 1:29:25.490 --> 1:29:29.830 were using language on stage that was just inward and 1:29:29.870 --> 1:29:32.410 stuff like that. And do you think those two things 1:29:32.450 --> 1:29:34.189 blend together, what he was saying on the air, the 1:29:34.350 --> 1:29:37.870 idea of pushing the boundaries as somebody that maybe shouldn't be? 1:29:37.910 --> 1:29:39.490 Like you were saying, the white guy that's saying the 1:29:39.530 --> 1:29:42.480 thing that's racially charged to the point where You're wondering 1:29:42.500 --> 1:29:43.840 if somebody in the audience is going to get up 1:29:43.880 --> 1:29:45.180 and say something on a scenario? 1:29:45.200 --> 1:29:47.460 I kind of lost me. I got a little lost 1:29:47.520 --> 1:29:50.300 in the sauce on that question, though. What were you 1:29:50.360 --> 1:29:54.320 asking there? Do I all think it's all one part 1:29:54.360 --> 1:29:55.639 of one notion? 1:29:55.840 --> 1:29:56.240 I do. 1:29:56.320 --> 1:29:58.800 I think that all of that is on the rise 1:29:59.080 --> 1:30:01.600 and certain vocabulary is on the rise. 1:30:01.650 --> 1:30:03.470 But it's the market, though, right? I mean, because if 1:30:03.479 --> 1:30:05.509 there's no market for it, there would be no comedy 1:30:05.530 --> 1:30:07.510 like that because nobody would be buying it. Nobody putting 1:30:07.530 --> 1:30:10.200 you on TV. Your clips would die online. So there's 1:30:10.220 --> 1:30:11.780 got to be a market for it. Somebody out there 1:30:11.810 --> 1:30:15.170 likes it. Yeah, but I mean, is that enough to 1:30:15.229 --> 1:30:17.050 make it okay? I didn't say it was okay. I'm 1:30:17.070 --> 1:30:19.810 just saying there's an audience. And unfortunately, this is a business. 1:30:19.830 --> 1:30:21.590 They're trying to make money. And if you can find 1:30:21.610 --> 1:30:23.650 somebody who draws an audience and they don't get thrown 1:30:23.689 --> 1:30:25.610 out of stage and they don't do anything that's crime, 1:30:25.910 --> 1:30:27.610 they're going to use that to make money. I mean, 1:30:27.630 --> 1:30:29.110 we know that for a fact. I mean, SNL brought 1:30:29.150 --> 1:30:30.269 this guy back and they knew it was a roll 1:30:30.340 --> 1:30:33.019 of the dice. Ultimately, was this a win for SNL? 1:30:34.229 --> 1:30:37.210 I don't think it was. It was a win for 1:30:37.250 --> 1:30:39.910 Shane Gillis because, I mean, he's gotten more free publicity 1:30:39.950 --> 1:30:42.180 over the last three days than I think any one 1:30:42.220 --> 1:30:43.019 person in America. 1:30:43.040 --> 1:30:46.120 Did SNL also get that same free publicity? Yeah, but 1:30:46.340 --> 1:30:47.000 it hit the same. 1:30:47.520 --> 1:30:50.250 I mean, what's also wild is that he dropped an F-bomb, 1:30:50.310 --> 1:30:53.650 which is like cardinal rule number one on that show. 1:30:53.790 --> 1:30:54.650 Nobody's talking about that. 1:30:54.810 --> 1:30:55.030 Yeah. 1:30:55.050 --> 1:30:56.990 And nobody cares about the F-bomb because we've heard the 1:30:57.030 --> 1:30:59.130 F-bomb a hundred times and it was, you know, 1230 1:30:59.130 --> 1:30:59.830 at night or what. 1:31:00.050 --> 1:31:01.870 No, I watch it. I was watching it live when 1:31:01.930 --> 1:31:04.070 it happened. And it was shocking and it was fun 1:31:04.110 --> 1:31:07.080 watching him try and recover. Mikey Day ad lib aligned, 1:31:07.120 --> 1:31:10.939 which was hysterical in it. But it's also not even 1:31:10.979 --> 1:31:12.940 illegal because it was safe harbor. 1:31:13.060 --> 1:31:13.260 Right. 1:31:13.400 --> 1:31:15.439 You know, they cut it out of the West Coast broadcast. 1:31:15.500 --> 1:31:18.059 So it was one of the things, if you were there, 1:31:18.300 --> 1:31:20.439 you got to see it. If not, it wasn't that 1:31:20.479 --> 1:31:22.240 big a deal and there's no blowback over it. 1:31:22.240 --> 1:31:22.900 Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. 1:31:23.300 --> 1:31:26.170 It was obvious that was a mistake and not intention. Yeah, 1:31:26.189 --> 1:31:27.210 these comments are way different. 1:31:27.450 --> 1:31:29.830 I know this is like such a stretch, but I'm 1:31:29.890 --> 1:31:33.450 going to exaggerate an example to hopefully make a point 1:31:33.530 --> 1:31:37.639 that I hopefully people won't hate me for is that laughter. 1:31:37.680 --> 1:31:39.080 People go, it's just a joke. 1:31:39.160 --> 1:31:43.820 But jokes come with definitive statements, and they're usually hidden 1:31:43.979 --> 1:31:46.640 within the joke. I'm going to put the thought in 1:31:46.740 --> 1:31:49.800 your brain. I didn't say it. I didn't say I 1:31:49.840 --> 1:31:51.570 put the thought in your brain, but I didn't say 1:31:51.590 --> 1:31:52.210 it's an infant. 1:31:52.250 --> 1:31:52.510 Right. 1:31:52.550 --> 1:31:57.530 Comedians are are straight, soft tissue paper when they don't 1:31:57.630 --> 1:32:01.800 sign up for the responsibility and the accountability of putting 1:32:01.840 --> 1:32:05.840 that thought in an audience's head. You know what you did. Uh, 1:32:06.640 --> 1:32:10.000 and sometimes within a joke, a definitive statement can get murky. 1:32:10.020 --> 1:32:12.000 So I don't, I don't want to blame the audience 1:32:12.040 --> 1:32:14.599 for going, what, what do you mean? This is what, what, 1:32:14.650 --> 1:32:17.349 what's wrong with this is because sometimes it's hidden, but 1:32:17.610 --> 1:32:20.710 every joke comes with a definitive statement where I'm going 1:32:20.750 --> 1:32:22.189 with this. And I'll end it with this is that 1:32:22.650 --> 1:32:26.110 there have been times in history where laughter has been 1:32:26.189 --> 1:32:29.309 weaponized to degrade and dehumanize people. 1:32:29.890 --> 1:32:31.460 Yeah, the roasts every single time. 1:32:31.720 --> 1:32:34.019 I was thinking about more so blackface. 1:32:34.100 --> 1:32:35.139 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1:32:35.280 --> 1:32:39.300 Or cartoons in the 30s and 40s where like that's 1:32:39.380 --> 1:32:44.430 a thing. And I know that's a greatly exaggerated example. 1:32:44.470 --> 1:32:47.130 But just to have something to be like, look, this 1:32:47.170 --> 1:32:51.410 is when laughter can honestly do so much more than entertain. 1:32:51.470 --> 1:32:54.160 And it's influencing more than I would like. And I 1:32:54.160 --> 1:32:58.500 think Shane said it when he talked to Chelsea Handler 1:32:58.520 --> 1:33:00.320 when she came at him for something that he said. 1:33:00.340 --> 1:33:03.340 What was the Chelsea Handler comment to him? When there 1:33:03.380 --> 1:33:06.280 was something he said and she came at him and 1:33:06.720 --> 1:33:10.040 his statement. From the roast. Yeah, his statement after that 1:33:10.180 --> 1:33:13.300 was like the statement I was trying to explain to you. 1:33:13.620 --> 1:33:16.420 I think his comment was something like, oh, yeah, I 1:33:16.460 --> 1:33:19.080 hear you, Chelsea. If you want to come back at me, 1:33:19.140 --> 1:33:21.040 you can see me at the Madison Square Garden. I've 1:33:21.060 --> 1:33:24.189 sold out two nights in a row. Yeah. So his 1:33:24.250 --> 1:33:28.210 thing was, is that's your take, but I'm selling 60,000 1:33:28.210 --> 1:33:30.920 tickets in the next two days. And I would argue 1:33:31.100 --> 1:33:34.680 both things can be true. Sure, yeah, yeah. All right, 407-916-1041. 1:33:34.720 --> 1:33:37.519 Text us 77031. Ross McCoy up next. We'll talk about 1:33:37.560 --> 1:33:43.620 most comedy jam coming up Saturday. All right, welcome back 1:33:43.660 --> 1:33:47.059 to the Jim Colbert Show, Real Radio 104.1.

And I made sure to go up. Jim 1:34:51.689 --> 1:34:55.189 was there on location that day. And me and my 1:34:55.250 --> 1:34:57.670 kids and... We took a ride in a minivan, did 1:34:57.710 --> 1:35:00.380 we not? We got in a minivan. We couldn't figure 1:35:00.410 --> 1:35:03.000 out how to buckle my kid's car seat in. So 1:35:03.020 --> 1:35:04.240 Jim was just like, put him on the floor. He'll 1:35:04.260 --> 1:35:04.820 be fine. 1:35:04.920 --> 1:35:07.979 Lay face down. You got better balance. 1:35:08.180 --> 1:35:08.519 And then. 1:35:09.240 --> 1:35:11.640 on like one of the first cell phones ever made 1:35:11.720 --> 1:35:14.080 jim called into the cut into the monsters live while 1:35:14.100 --> 1:35:14.740 we did a test. 1:35:14.580 --> 1:35:16.580 Drive yeah and ross has been in the game for 1:35:16.600 --> 1:35:18.440 a while here of course you've uh heard him on 1:35:18.479 --> 1:35:20.870 tom and dan for many many years and uh running 1:35:21.010 --> 1:35:22.670 uh open mics for a long time i know you 1:35:22.689 --> 1:35:24.830 did that with s sandwich over at bull and bush 1:35:24.870 --> 1:35:25.970 for many many years i don't think you do that 1:35:26.010 --> 1:35:26.729 anymore right. 1:35:26.750 --> 1:35:28.470 No i decided to step back from that and then 1:35:28.550 --> 1:35:29.870 uh one of the comics on the lineup actually you 1:35:29.890 --> 1:35:31.389 guys probably know her she comes in here a lot 1:35:31.450 --> 1:35:35.019 amy lacore took over uh hosting there so Very nice. 1:35:35.030 --> 1:35:36.700 And, of course, the gig coming up Saturday is very 1:35:36.740 --> 1:35:39.620 exciting for us. My wife is a gigantic Will Blalock fan. 1:35:40.700 --> 1:35:43.719 I am a gigantic Sean Finnerty and Will Blalock fan. 1:35:43.939 --> 1:35:45.720 I've not seen Amy do stand-up. I've seen you do 1:35:45.740 --> 1:35:47.330 stand-up a number of times because I've been to the 1:35:47.410 --> 1:35:49.349 open mic nights that you've hosted for many, many years. 1:35:49.689 --> 1:35:51.030 And I think this is one of the best lineups 1:35:51.070 --> 1:35:52.790 I've seen for this gig. Well, tell him you're a 1:35:52.830 --> 1:35:53.550 fan of him, too. 1:35:53.630 --> 1:35:53.970 Come on. 1:35:54.070 --> 1:35:56.309 I am a fan of him. He knows. You didn't 1:35:56.350 --> 1:35:56.840 say it, though. 1:35:57.570 --> 1:35:59.830 What I like about Jim is that I'm a comedy 1:35:59.850 --> 1:36:02.070 host more than anything. I do a lot of hosting. And, 1:36:02.560 --> 1:36:04.740 you know, a lot of times that's like the framework 1:36:04.760 --> 1:36:06.519 of a building. You don't really see it, but it 1:36:06.560 --> 1:36:09.820 supports everything. And I know, like, anytime Jim's in the 1:36:09.880 --> 1:36:12.110 audience and I have to pull some hosting tricks out 1:36:12.150 --> 1:36:13.630 of my hat, I know... Jim's going to come up 1:36:13.650 --> 1:36:15.250 to me at the patio afterwards and be like, hey, 1:36:15.510 --> 1:36:17.230 I saw you do this and this, and that was 1:36:17.250 --> 1:36:18.150 a really cool move. 1:36:18.229 --> 1:36:19.240 So I appreciate it. 1:36:19.270 --> 1:36:24.640 Go ahead. Then he says, can I hit that? I 1:36:24.680 --> 1:36:25.439 say that beforehand. 1:36:26.479 --> 1:36:28.660 For what it's worth, top three hosts of all time 1:36:28.780 --> 1:36:29.500 that I've ever seen. 1:36:29.560 --> 1:36:30.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1:36:30.020 --> 1:36:30.820 He's very good at what he does. 1:36:31.280 --> 1:36:33.220 And it's good to hear that Tori's going to be there, too, 1:36:33.240 --> 1:36:35.549 because she is maybe the best laugher in the world. 1:36:35.670 --> 1:36:37.670 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. If you tell a good joke, 1:36:37.750 --> 1:36:39.150 you will know she's in the room. As a matter 1:36:39.170 --> 1:36:40.750 of fact, I know some of the comics would recognize 1:36:40.790 --> 1:36:42.930 her laugh more than her, and they would be like, 1:36:43.010 --> 1:36:44.590 if they heard her laugh, they'd be like, oh, Tori's here. 1:36:44.770 --> 1:36:45.330 It's probably true. 1:36:45.350 --> 1:36:45.689 Yeah, yeah. 1:36:45.930 --> 1:36:48.450 So, okay, so it starts at 6 o'clock, Funny Bones. 1:36:48.550 --> 1:36:50.170 First thing first, where do you get tickets?

Correct. And a stone-cold slayer. 1:37:32.620 --> 1:37:35.540 I mean, both of these guys are absolute monsters. And 1:37:35.560 --> 1:37:37.480 along with you guys, I can't imagine it's going to 1:37:37.510 --> 1:37:39.490 be great. And a big surprise is coming up. I mean, 1:37:39.590 --> 1:37:41.849 usually when they do these things, there's always a drop-in 1:37:41.890 --> 1:37:43.310 or some kind of surprise that happens. 1:37:43.430 --> 1:37:46.490 There will be a special Halloween surprise for you. And 1:37:46.530 --> 1:37:47.990 then the only other comic we haven't mentioned yet is 1:37:48.030 --> 1:37:50.090 my friend Larry Fulford. Uh, me and him kind of 1:37:50.250 --> 1:37:52.510 co-host this, uh, this is the 15 year old Mo 1:37:52.530 --> 1:37:54.440 comedy jam. They've just been straight up comedy shows to 1:37:54.479 --> 1:37:54.880 this point. 1:37:54.900 --> 1:37:55.030 Yeah. 1:37:55.229 --> 1:37:57.870 Me hosting comics coming up, doing their thing. And then, uh, 1:37:57.900 --> 1:37:59.960 but this one is a special event. I kind of 1:37:59.979 --> 1:38:02.220 cashed in my chips with Mo and I, I put 1:38:02.240 --> 1:38:03.720 all my cards on the table and I said, Hey Mo, 1:38:04.020 --> 1:38:05.759 I want to do something special. It's going to be weird. 1:38:05.800 --> 1:38:07.610 It's not the same old, same old. It's going to be, 1:38:07.750 --> 1:38:09.030 it's a special thing called a, what do you want 1:38:09.050 --> 1:38:11.590 from us? And this is a show that Larry developed where, uh, 1:38:11.610 --> 1:38:14.430 it was during COVID times online where like you would 1:38:14.450 --> 1:38:16.530 do a show online, uh, But people would just be 1:38:16.550 --> 1:38:17.060 at their computers. 1:38:17.070 --> 1:38:17.880 They wouldn't be paying attention. 1:38:17.900 --> 1:38:20.860 There's no engagement. You could get zero traction, zero engagement. 1:38:20.880 --> 1:38:24.860 I'm sorry. Larry came up with this idea where he 1:38:24.900 --> 1:38:26.870 gets three or four comics together. He takes all their jokes. 1:38:26.890 --> 1:38:28.740 He puts them into a format where it where you 1:38:29.320 --> 1:38:32.120 there's a question and then there's three answers and you 1:38:32.180 --> 1:38:34.570 in the audience you've scanned a QR code you've got 1:38:34.610 --> 1:38:36.390 up on your phone a little quiz it gives you 1:38:36.410 --> 1:38:38.450 the question and the three answers you get to choose 1:38:38.510 --> 1:38:40.970 one of the answers and then whatever answer gets the 1:38:41.010 --> 1:38:44.130 most votes correlates to a joke that a comic has 1:38:44.229 --> 1:38:46.050 on stage, and that comic gets up and tells her jokes. 1:38:46.390 --> 1:38:48.130 Oh, that's awesome. So the audience runs the show for 1:38:48.170 --> 1:38:48.809 this one. Oh, that's cool. 1:38:48.990 --> 1:38:52.309 Everybody picks every joke, and it's super fun and live. 1:38:52.780 --> 1:38:55.400 It's electrifying how engaged audiences get with this show. 1:38:55.420 --> 1:38:57.120 And I've got to tell you, this club is so 1:38:57.160 --> 1:38:58.540 much fun to go to. By the way, the woman 1:38:58.560 --> 1:39:00.059 who runs this club, Krista, is one of the greatest 1:39:00.100 --> 1:39:02.189 people out there. She's the best. And going out to 1:39:02.200 --> 1:39:04.410 the club, it is a pure comedy club. This is 1:39:04.470 --> 1:39:06.630 not like a comedy happening in a restaurant or comedy 1:39:06.670 --> 1:39:09.690 happening in an old theater. This is built for comedy. 1:39:09.729 --> 1:39:12.000 So if you're in the front rows, you are literally, 1:39:12.400 --> 1:39:15.580 you are feet inches sometimes from the comics. It is 1:39:15.640 --> 1:39:18.220 very personal, very intimate, and a lot of fun. And 1:39:18.240 --> 1:39:19.969 if you've not been to a show out there, I 1:39:20.210 --> 1:39:22.370 urge you to buy a ticket and go. Because this 1:39:22.430 --> 1:39:25.110 lineup is exceptionally good. And it's going to be a 1:39:25.150 --> 1:39:26.790 lot of fun. I can't wait. Jack's going out with 1:39:26.830 --> 1:39:27.990 me as well. So we're going to have a blast. 1:39:28.110 --> 1:39:29.770 And this shows kind of the evolution of a lot 1:39:29.790 --> 1:39:32.610 of things. Like when we started, it was online. And 1:39:32.640 --> 1:39:34.440 then when we went live, we were up in Sanford 1:39:34.479 --> 1:39:35.360 at Tuffy's Music Box. 1:39:35.400 --> 1:39:36.620 Yeah, I remember that. Which is a great venue. 1:39:36.640 --> 1:39:38.479 That's the last one I went to. It's a great venue, 1:39:38.560 --> 1:39:40.620 but not really cut out for comedy. The ceilings are 1:39:40.640 --> 1:39:43.300 too high. There's no chairs. We had a couple of 1:39:43.320 --> 1:39:45.140 years there that were real good. Then we moved to 1:39:45.160 --> 1:39:47.990 the Funny Bone venue. But they put us on Thursday nights. 1:39:48.030 --> 1:39:48.510 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1:39:48.530 --> 1:39:50.790 And that's great. We're in the A-room in town. That's 1:39:51.150 --> 1:39:52.929 an accomplishment in and of itself. But on a Thursday, 1:39:52.950 --> 1:39:54.890 it's hard for people to get out. This year, we 1:39:54.910 --> 1:39:56.870 talked them into letting us have a Saturday. So we're 1:39:56.930 --> 1:39:59.809 in the A-room. It's a Saturday. It's this show that 1:39:59.830 --> 1:40:01.610 I'm telling you, you have to see to believe. The 1:40:01.650 --> 1:40:04.600 engagement is just incredible. And so it's going to be 1:40:04.620 --> 1:40:06.019 just a show not to miss. 1:40:06.040 --> 1:40:07.500 Let me tell you, dude, don't sleep on their food, 1:40:07.560 --> 1:40:08.240 by the way. 1:40:08.260 --> 1:40:08.400 Dude. 1:40:08.600 --> 1:40:10.220 Do not sleep on their food at the Funny Bone. 1:40:10.260 --> 1:40:12.640 It is crazy. It's crazy good. Last time we were there, 1:40:12.660 --> 1:40:14.140 we didn't get to eat beforehand. We had to wind 1:40:14.180 --> 1:40:16.520 up eating there. And my wife got a club sandwich. 1:40:16.540 --> 1:40:17.939 I was like, that may be one of the better 1:40:17.960 --> 1:40:19.190 club sandwiches you've ever had. 1:40:19.310 --> 1:40:21.310 Well, one of the best nights of my life, I 1:40:21.630 --> 1:40:25.070 ate the wedge salad at the Funny Bone with Doug Benson. 1:40:25.229 --> 1:40:27.790 And it was just an amazing night. Getting high with 1:40:27.810 --> 1:40:28.990 Doug Benson. Yeah. 1:40:29.010 --> 1:40:29.550 Yeah. 1:40:29.590 --> 1:40:35.270 Yeah. Hey, just real quick, we kind of buzzed around 1:40:35.310 --> 1:40:37.540 this Shane Gillis thing a little bit. I know that 1:40:37.580 --> 1:40:39.080 you're a guy that doesn't mind stepping out on an 1:40:39.280 --> 1:40:41.000 edge when it comes to doing comedy. What was your 1:40:41.020 --> 1:40:43.580 take on the Shane Gillis thing and the blowback and 1:40:43.600 --> 1:40:44.680 all the stuff that's gone around it? 1:40:44.939 --> 1:40:47.860 I mean, I hesitate to criticize another comedian, especially when 1:40:47.880 --> 1:40:50.200 I admittedly I haven't seen the full set. I've just 1:40:50.240 --> 1:40:52.710 like heard the outtakes of it all. But that being said, 1:40:53.070 --> 1:40:53.930 it was a terrible joke. 1:40:54.290 --> 1:40:54.490 Yeah. 1:40:54.610 --> 1:40:57.850 Like I heard another comedian on a podcast this morning. 1:40:57.870 --> 1:40:59.470 I was listening to kind of try to defend it. 1:40:59.490 --> 1:41:01.050 And he was like, okay, but if he said I 1:41:01.590 --> 1:41:03.670 went to the gym and all the women were just 1:41:03.990 --> 1:41:07.630 dressed very provocatively, that's not funny. Okay. Well, if you 1:41:07.890 --> 1:41:11.010 replace dress very product provocatively with the word whores, is 1:41:11.030 --> 1:41:14.030 that makes it funny? No, it's still a bad joke. 1:41:14.410 --> 1:41:17.120 You're just kind of trading on the shock value of 1:41:17.140 --> 1:41:18.460 the word whore at that point. 1:41:18.479 --> 1:41:20.460 Somebody said earlier on the texting service, it's just low 1:41:20.479 --> 1:41:23.299 hanging fruit. It's an easy way out. It's a, It's 1:41:23.420 --> 1:41:25.280 ordering steak at a restaurant. It's the you know, it's 1:41:25.320 --> 1:41:26.960 the easiest thing in the world for the restaurant to 1:41:27.000 --> 1:41:28.160 pull off. And I think that's what a lot of 1:41:28.180 --> 1:41:30.160 people say is like they expect a little bit more 1:41:30.240 --> 1:41:33.950 because this guy has, you know, big specials, gigantic sold 1:41:34.010 --> 1:41:37.590 out national tours and on national television. That's the best 1:41:37.650 --> 1:41:38.010 it can do. 1:41:38.290 --> 1:41:40.269 And like, again, as a guy who ran an open 1:41:40.290 --> 1:41:41.970 mic for like the better part of a decade, if 1:41:42.010 --> 1:41:45.130 not longer, you you'd learn the difference between a joke 1:41:45.490 --> 1:41:48.530 where it's funny because they crafted it. And a joke 1:41:48.570 --> 1:41:50.070 where they are trying to get you to laugh because 1:41:50.090 --> 1:41:52.540 it's a shocker. And that's what that was. And in 1:41:52.580 --> 1:41:56.500 his defense, maybe it's like the whole week of SNL thing. 1:41:56.540 --> 1:41:58.240 It's just too hard to write actual jokes. 1:41:58.340 --> 1:42:00.460 I don't know. I've never been there. Yeah. You know, 1:42:00.500 --> 1:42:02.240 it also is something that's kind of interesting to happen. 1:42:02.260 --> 1:42:03.960 I haven't actually had a chance to talk to you 1:42:04.000 --> 1:42:07.210 since it did happen, but. you know, Cam's rise to 1:42:07.350 --> 1:42:10.630 prominence up there at SNL. Who? Cam Patterson. 1:42:10.950 --> 1:42:12.030 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 1:42:12.229 --> 1:42:13.640 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that kid who used to 1:42:13.680 --> 1:42:15.220 come to my open mic with no shoes on. 1:42:15.280 --> 1:42:15.500 Yeah. 1:42:15.560 --> 1:42:17.720 Yeah, yeah. It's so funny. That's the number one story 1:42:17.740 --> 1:42:20.510 I tell everybody. I'm like, when he got it, I 1:42:20.610 --> 1:42:22.810 actually text Tori and I was like, Can you believe 1:42:22.890 --> 1:42:25.769 Cam Patterson just made it on SNL? Not because Cam 1:42:25.810 --> 1:42:27.830 isn't talented. It has nothing to do with that. But 1:42:27.870 --> 1:42:31.090 we saw Cam do so many three- or five-minute sets 1:42:31.390 --> 1:42:34.480 at Bullenbush, a foot from him. He'd walk in, do 1:42:34.500 --> 1:42:36.260 his five, haul ass, and go do another five at 1:42:36.300 --> 1:42:38.900 another open, then haul ass from that, go another five. 1:42:38.920 --> 1:42:41.820 And again, Jack, he would walk in not wearing shoes. 1:42:42.560 --> 1:42:46.860 And do his time. And I remember him being good. But, 1:42:46.979 --> 1:42:49.890 you know, being honest, I don't remember him like slaying. 1:42:49.930 --> 1:42:51.990 I think people kind of like, oh, man, his character 1:42:52.030 --> 1:42:53.770 is good. The whole setup is good. But he was 1:42:53.790 --> 1:42:55.730 still kind of working through material at that time. 1:42:56.410 --> 1:42:58.570 I had one moment that kind of jumped out to 1:42:58.610 --> 1:43:01.820 me that I went, oh, Cam is a little different. 1:43:02.120 --> 1:43:04.900 And he did some guest spots when I was headlining 1:43:04.960 --> 1:43:07.960 out in Ocala. And these rooms were call it. I 1:43:08.000 --> 1:43:09.009 don't have time to explain it. 1:43:09.040 --> 1:43:11.730 I'm going to be blunt. Old and white. Yeah. Real, 1:43:11.890 --> 1:43:13.429 real old, white and wealthy. 1:43:13.510 --> 1:43:13.750 Right. 1:43:14.210 --> 1:43:16.690 And Cam walked up and I'm not, I can't even 1:43:16.729 --> 1:43:18.309 say his joke on air. I'm not going to try to, 1:43:18.330 --> 1:43:20.660 but let's just say it was pretty filthy. It was 1:43:20.800 --> 1:43:23.500 one of the filthier jokes for his opener. Ross, if 1:43:23.540 --> 1:43:26.820 you remember it, let's say the punchline was I'm seven 1:43:26.840 --> 1:43:32.910 and And he got those old white people laughing so 1:43:33.010 --> 1:43:37.030 hard at such a gross joke that nobody else could 1:43:37.050 --> 1:43:38.650 get away with. And that was the first sign that 1:43:38.689 --> 1:43:41.240 made me go like, oh, dude, this guy, he's really good. 1:43:41.660 --> 1:43:44.400 But the thing that definitely put him over the top 1:43:44.439 --> 1:43:46.000 was that Kill Tony appearance. And I don't know if 1:43:46.020 --> 1:43:46.710 you've listened to it. 1:43:46.720 --> 1:43:47.300 The rocks thing. 1:43:47.320 --> 1:43:49.360 When he says, I like rocks, the room exploded in 1:43:49.400 --> 1:43:52.490 a way I've only ever heard one time before. And 1:43:52.590 --> 1:43:55.870 I was hosting for Grandma, what's her name? 1:43:56.450 --> 1:43:58.790 Grandma Rich. No, a different Grandma comic, Ross. 1:43:58.970 --> 1:43:59.290 Oh, God. 1:43:59.310 --> 1:44:01.250 They always have the first name. The one that was 1:44:01.270 --> 1:44:05.939 on America's Got Talent. But anyway, it was in Ocala, 1:44:06.000 --> 1:44:07.780 and the stage is like 85 feet high, and there's 1:44:07.800 --> 1:44:08.660 a giant staircase. 1:44:09.100 --> 1:44:10.140 And she's like, you're going to have to help me 1:44:10.180 --> 1:44:13.100 up there, Sonny. Grandma Lee. Grandma Lee. It was Grandma Lee. 1:44:13.540 --> 1:44:16.360 And so I go up. 1:44:16.400 --> 1:44:17.970 I do my thing. I bring the feature up. He 1:44:18.010 --> 1:44:21.920 does his thing. Jeff Zenezec out of Jacksonville. And then 1:44:22.580 --> 1:44:24.320 I go down and I have to walk her up. 1:44:24.340 --> 1:44:25.960 And the whole time I'm going like, give it up 1:44:26.000 --> 1:44:28.020 for grandma Lee. And like, we get up two stairs. 1:44:28.060 --> 1:44:30.730 I'm like, keep it going for grandma. And this goes 1:44:30.770 --> 1:44:32.309 on for like five minutes until I get her up. 1:44:32.370 --> 1:44:33.850 I get her on her stool. She settles in the 1:44:33.870 --> 1:44:35.790 room is like dead quiet at this point, because like 1:44:36.090 --> 1:44:38.110 I have burned them out, just getting her up the stairs. 1:44:38.590 --> 1:44:41.190 And she goes, give it up for your feature. Jeff's 1:44:41.250 --> 1:44:44.290 in a says it. And everybody's like, And she goes, 1:44:44.560 --> 1:44:45.140 I'd hit it. 1:44:45.300 --> 1:44:47.360 And the roof exploded. 1:44:47.380 --> 1:44:50.040 The roof blew off of that place. That's absolutely awesome. 1:44:50.340 --> 1:44:53.849 But you also had other brushes as well. Do you 1:44:53.870 --> 1:44:55.610 take a lot of pride in that? Because not only 1:44:55.770 --> 1:44:57.979 did Cam go and make it on SNL, but David 1:44:58.020 --> 1:45:03.200 Jolly now. is part of that universe. Um, David Jolly, uh, Chris, 1:45:03.220 --> 1:45:07.679 your Lawson, your Lawson, um, Akeem Woods is huge right now. 1:45:07.760 --> 1:45:10.540 Heather Shaw just announced like a giant, her, first of all, 1:45:10.580 --> 1:45:12.979 her wedding was in people magazine. And then she's going 1:45:13.000 --> 1:45:16.400 to be starting a podcast now. Like, um, just Orlando 1:45:16.510 --> 1:45:18.870 is such a hotbed of talent for comedy. And I'm 1:45:18.930 --> 1:45:20.689 super proud of that. And I'm proud of my part in, 1:45:21.090 --> 1:45:23.370 in having fostered that by running shows for so many years. 1:45:23.780 --> 1:45:24.890 but I think a lot of it has to do 1:45:24.910 --> 1:45:26.550 with the fact that in this town, like, I don't 1:45:26.570 --> 1:45:30.070 know if you live in, uh, if you live in Shreveport, Louisiana, 1:45:30.090 --> 1:45:32.050 there's a certain amount of stuff to do at night, 1:45:32.310 --> 1:45:33.790 but like we have to get up and compete with 1:45:33.810 --> 1:45:36.070 Disney every day. You know, like there's, there's tons of 1:45:36.100 --> 1:45:37.099 stuff in this town for some people. 1:45:37.120 --> 1:45:38.720 Yeah. You gotta be funny if you're going to get 1:45:38.740 --> 1:45:40.700 up and yeah, but I'm, there's a, Pretty good percentage 1:45:40.740 --> 1:45:44.380 of that Austin scene that is born, bred, and curated 1:45:44.439 --> 1:45:47.180 right here in Orlando, Florida. I mean, we could name, like, what, 1:45:47.240 --> 1:45:48.939 seven of them right now that are out there doing work? 1:45:48.979 --> 1:45:49.240 For sure. 1:45:49.380 --> 1:45:51.320 I think that was one of the coolest things for 1:45:51.380 --> 1:45:55.969 Ross and I, both Ross-eyes, that all of our friends 1:45:55.979 --> 1:45:59.610 that moved to Austin all excelled, which kind of made us, 1:45:59.850 --> 1:46:01.450 I don't want to put words in your mouth, but 1:46:01.530 --> 1:46:03.929 for me at least, made me go, I wasn't crazy. 1:46:04.390 --> 1:46:04.770 Yeah, yeah. 1:46:04.850 --> 1:46:06.950 This was good. Yeah, yeah. And to have it. 1:46:06.970 --> 1:46:11.240 See mainstream backup success kind of gave me confidence. 1:46:11.660 --> 1:46:12.920 Ross says all of them, but there's a couple guys 1:46:12.939 --> 1:46:14.920 that moved out to Austin and got landscaping. That is true. 1:46:15.140 --> 1:46:18.010 That is true. That's also true. But this Saturday night, 1:46:18.070 --> 1:46:20.470 it is the Mo Comedy Jam. It's at Funny Bones 1:46:20.610 --> 1:46:24.110 out there on iDrive. Go to mo comedy jam.com. All 1:46:24.150 --> 1:46:26.560 the information's right there. Tickets are right there. All the 1:46:26.580 --> 1:46:28.240 information you need to be able to get out there. 1:46:28.360 --> 1:46:29.540 Jack and I are going to be out there hanging 1:46:29.580 --> 1:46:31.220 out with our wives. Can't wait. We will. 1:46:31.340 --> 1:46:34.870 And congratulations on doing an 18 minute interview in 12, 1:46:34.870 --> 1:46:37.250 because we found someone who speaks faster than Jimmy. 1:46:38.250 --> 1:46:40.570 He's nervous. They're shaking. And I slammed a ghost right 1:46:40.590 --> 1:46:41.810 before this. What's a ghost? 1:46:42.370 --> 1:46:46.720 It started as a pre-workout, and then they managed to. 1:46:46.860 --> 1:46:49.640 It started as a pre-workout. They managed to turn it 1:46:49.660 --> 1:46:54.469 into an energy drink. That's like saying this. TNT started 1:46:54.520 --> 1:46:55.810 out as a mining apparatus. 1:46:57.250 --> 1:46:57.390 Right? 1:46:57.410 --> 1:46:59.010 That same scenario? You're so right. 1:46:59.090 --> 1:47:02.130 It was just pre-workout, and then they realized, yo, way 1:47:02.150 --> 1:47:03.950 more money just putting it in a can. 1:47:04.490 --> 1:47:06.349 Yeah, they don't sell a lot of pre-workout in the 1:47:06.410 --> 1:47:09.220 cooler at 7-Eleven, but they walk these things out the door. 1:47:09.620 --> 1:47:11.640 That's great. Well, buddy, thanks for coming by. We appreciate 1:47:11.660 --> 1:47:13.820 it so much. That's Ross McCoy. You can see him 1:47:13.900 --> 1:47:16.660 live along with Will Blaylock, along with Sean Finnerty, along 1:47:16.700 --> 1:47:20.540 with Amy LaCour, Larry Fulford. Larry Fulford? Fulford. There you go. 1:47:20.560 --> 1:47:22.780 And a special surprise guest. You have to be there 1:47:22.800 --> 1:47:23.860 to see. That's right. And Jack and I are going 1:47:23.880 --> 1:47:25.240 to be out there. It's going to be a good-ass time. 1:47:25.320 --> 1:47:28.979 And it supports a really good organization, the Yellow Brick. 1:47:28.800 --> 1:47:33.220 Road Foundation, YBRF.com. And they do stuff for kids with 1:47:33.260 --> 1:47:36.059 congenital heart disease. My favorite thing that they do is 1:47:36.090 --> 1:47:38.610 the Wagon Project. I don't know if you've ever had 1:47:38.630 --> 1:47:40.030 a kid that had to spend an extended amount of 1:47:40.050 --> 1:47:41.729 time in the hospital, but they get bored. 1:47:42.090 --> 1:47:43.270 They get tired. They get lonely. 1:47:43.590 --> 1:47:45.250 And the kids with congenital heart disease, it's hard to 1:47:45.290 --> 1:47:48.210 move them around. And so Yellow Brick Road Foundation provides 1:47:48.229 --> 1:47:50.010 these wagons where they can put the kid in. They 1:47:50.030 --> 1:47:51.809 can hang their IV. And it's easier to get them 1:47:51.830 --> 1:47:53.950 around to the rooms where there's toys. Oh, that's cool. 1:47:54.070 --> 1:47:58.140 It's super cool. YBRF.com. They couldn't be a better organization. Yeah, yeah. 1:47:58.160 --> 1:47:59.979 Run by a good guy as well. Absolutely.

But you know what? They're just jokes. 1:48:52.270 --> 1:48:52.970 They're just jokes. 1:48:53.070 --> 1:48:55.980 Nobody got stabbed. Nobody got shot. Nobody's going to go 1:48:56.020 --> 1:48:58.420 home and just get over it. Man, I can't even 1:48:58.460 --> 1:49:01.540 explain it. Oh, a bunch of crybabies. Great show. Love you.

In other words, 1:49:20.189 --> 1:49:23.470 he's up in a soapbox complaining, yada, yada, yada, yada, 1:49:23.650 --> 1:49:26.810 and then he's doing the same thing. Much like all 1:49:26.830 --> 1:49:28.910 of the politicians out there that have been caught with 1:49:29.550 --> 1:49:30.639 gay sex scandals. 1:49:30.760 --> 1:49:31.110 Whoa. 1:49:32.340 --> 1:49:34.640 That took a turn.

One of 1:51:52.240 --> 1:51:54.600 these answers is not true, Mike. 1:51:54.620 --> 1:51:54.809 What? 1:51:55.150 --> 1:51:56.310 But if you can find it, I'll send you to 1:51:56.350 --> 1:51:57.810 see Jack. He's got a bunch of stuff, and you 1:51:57.850 --> 1:51:59.550 can pick something out nice for yourself. Are you ready? 1:52:00.710 --> 1:52:03.830 Let's go. Here we go, buddy. On this day in 1926, 1:52:03.830 --> 1:52:09.299 English author A.A. Milne releases his legendary children's book, Winnie 1:52:09.360 --> 1:52:12.599 the Pooh. Okay. Here are three fun facts about Winnie 1:52:12.640 --> 1:52:16.270 the Pooh and one lie that's no bother. Very good. 1:52:16.290 --> 1:52:17.790 All right, we're talking about Winnie the Pooh here. Which 1:52:17.830 --> 1:52:20.689 one of these is not true? Number one, Winnie the 1:52:20.710 --> 1:52:24.770 Pooh's original name was Edward Bear. Number two, although Winnie 1:52:24.790 --> 1:52:27.350 the Pooh is male, his character is based on Winnipeg, 1:52:27.630 --> 1:52:31.050 a female Canadian black bear. Number three, Winnie the Pooh 1:52:31.070 --> 1:52:34.750 was the first licensed fictional character to be used overseas. 1:52:35.150 --> 1:52:38.730 Or lastly, his full name is A. Allen Milne. That 1:52:38.910 --> 1:52:41.760 first A has no meaning. He simply thought it sounded 1:52:41.800 --> 1:52:46.990 more intellectual. Which of those is a lie? Oh, goodness. 1:52:47.030 --> 1:52:51.770 They all sound good. Number two. No, that's absolutely true. 1:52:51.950 --> 1:52:54.450 Although Winnie the Pooh is male, his character is based 1:52:54.510 --> 1:52:58.160 on Winnipeg. That's where they get Winnie, which was a 1:52:58.280 --> 1:52:59.400 female Canadian bear. 1:52:59.560 --> 1:53:00.120 Whoa! 1:53:00.280 --> 1:53:02.840 Yeah, kind of cool, right? That was extremely cool, finding 1:53:02.860 --> 1:53:05.800 out where Winnie came from. Winnie was Winnipeg. Winnipeg was 1:53:05.840 --> 1:53:08.620 the name of the bear. Actually, the soldier bought that bear, 1:53:08.640 --> 1:53:12.110 and you could actually see the skull on... on display 1:53:12.290 --> 1:53:13.470 at a museum in London. 1:53:13.490 --> 1:53:14.430 Yep. Oh, wow. 1:53:14.490 --> 1:53:18.590 I kind of stopped liking that fact. All right, very good. Two, three, 1:53:18.630 --> 1:53:19.050 or four? 1:53:19.470 --> 1:53:19.810 Two. 1:53:19.830 --> 1:53:21.670 Let's go to two. That is the other Mike. Mike, 1:53:21.689 --> 1:53:22.110 how you doing? 1:53:23.090 --> 1:53:23.729 I'm doing well. 1:53:23.760 --> 1:53:24.340 How about yourself? 1:53:24.400 --> 1:53:24.729 Good, buddy. 1:53:24.760 --> 1:53:26.300 We're talking about Winnie the Pooh. Which one of these 1:53:26.420 --> 1:53:28.500 isn't true? Number one, Winnie the Pooh's original name was 1:53:28.640 --> 1:53:30.960 Edward Bear. Number two, Winnie the Pooh was the first 1:53:31.080 --> 1:53:34.760 licensed fictional character to be used overseas. Or lastly, his 1:53:34.800 --> 1:53:37.500 full name is A. Allen Milne. The first A has 1:53:37.580 --> 1:53:41.870 no meaning. He simply thought it sounded more intellectual. Try 1:53:41.890 --> 1:53:44.850 number one. No, that's absolutely true. Winnie the Pooh's original 1:53:44.890 --> 1:53:48.750 name was Edward Bear. Oh, wow. Cool, huh? All right. 1:53:48.770 --> 1:53:50.269 I wonder if it was for the royal family. I 1:53:50.290 --> 1:53:50.630 don't know. 1:53:50.670 --> 1:53:52.570 That's a good question, though. Three or four, what do 1:53:52.590 --> 1:53:54.640 you say? Hey, Dave, if you go number three, this 1:53:54.680 --> 1:53:56.360 guy kind of sounds like SpongeBob to me. 1:53:56.520 --> 1:53:57.320 All right, let's go three. 1:53:57.340 --> 1:53:57.760 Three, there. 1:53:57.860 --> 1:53:58.680 Gary, how you doing? 1:53:59.630 --> 1:54:00.550 All right, how are you? 1:54:00.570 --> 1:54:04.080 You can't do that anymore. 1:54:05.300 --> 1:54:05.680 Why? 1:54:05.880 --> 1:54:09.519 No, no, not you, buddy. You're fine. You're fine. We're 1:54:09.560 --> 1:54:11.540 talking about Winnie the Pooh here, Gary. You got a 1:54:11.560 --> 1:54:13.650 50-50 shot. Which one of these is not true? Number one, 1:54:13.890 --> 1:54:16.229 Winnie the Pooh was the first licensed fictional character to 1:54:16.250 --> 1:54:19.000 be used overseas. Or lastly, his full name is A. 1:54:19.470 --> 1:54:22.269 Allen Milne. The first A has no meaning. He simply 1:54:22.310 --> 1:54:23.570 thought it sounded more intellectual. 1:54:26.020 --> 1:54:26.519 Second one. 1:54:26.650 --> 1:54:27.420 That's the one, buddy! 1:54:27.439 --> 1:54:28.000 You're a winner! 1:54:29.000 --> 1:54:30.500 Oh, I thought for sure it was the first one. Yeah, 1:54:30.520 --> 1:54:34.620 his name is Alan Alexander Milne. Or Milne, or whatever 1:54:34.640 --> 1:54:36.380 you want to say. That's his actual full name. And 1:54:36.400 --> 1:54:39.580 Winnie the Pooh was the first licensed fictional character to 1:54:39.600 --> 1:54:41.380 be used for products overseas. 1:54:41.460 --> 1:54:42.700 What year was that again? 1:54:42.700 --> 1:54:46.110 26 is when he released the book. 1:54:46.470 --> 1:54:48.130 Okay, I thought it would have been Mickey Mouse. 1:54:48.660 --> 1:54:51.920 Yeah, maybe so. I don't know, but overseas. I don't know. Okay. 1:54:51.940 --> 1:54:53.620 Some other things before we get to Ross Thoughts. You 1:54:53.640 --> 1:54:56.360 may not know about Winnie the Pooh. The 100-acre wood 1:54:56.460 --> 1:55:00.800 is actually real. It's based on Ashdown Forest that is 1:55:00.860 --> 1:55:04.820 in East Sussex, England, and it's a real forest. 1:55:05.040 --> 1:55:05.120 Oh. 1:55:05.570 --> 1:55:05.890 Nice. 1:55:06.490 --> 1:55:09.520 Kanga is the only female character in the Winnie the 1:55:09.560 --> 1:55:10.020 Pooh crew. 1:55:10.380 --> 1:55:12.060 And Sam Jackson's hat brand. 1:55:12.140 --> 1:55:15.160 Yeah, you're right, 100%. Sorry, that's Kangol. Damn it. Stupid joke. 1:55:15.260 --> 1:55:17.360 Before the success of Winnie the Pooh, what do you 1:55:17.400 --> 1:55:19.740 think A.A. Milne did? 1:55:21.160 --> 1:55:21.860 Haberdasher. 1:55:22.200 --> 1:55:27.020 Made hats. Pottery. Cobbler. I'll keep this train going. He 1:55:27.040 --> 1:55:31.900 was a World War II soldier and a very accomplished playwright. Yeah, 1:55:31.960 --> 1:55:35.620 he wrote the book for his kids. It was an accident. 1:55:35.640 --> 1:55:36.800 It didn't even mean to happen, really. 1:55:36.820 --> 1:55:40.620 Man, talk about the bookends right there. Fought a war 1:55:40.740 --> 1:55:43.380 and then wrote and is also an author. 1:55:43.480 --> 1:55:47.040 Yeah, legendary children's book. In 2006, Winnie the Pooh received 1:55:47.080 --> 1:55:50.020 a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Oh, wow. 1:55:50.040 --> 1:55:53.700 And then lastly here, Winnie the Pooh's original name was hyphenated. 1:55:53.760 --> 1:55:57.440 Remember that? It was Winnie hyphen the hyphen Pooh. Where 1:55:57.460 --> 1:55:58.140 do you think that went? 1:55:58.960 --> 1:55:59.380 Divorce. 1:56:00.080 --> 1:56:03.380 That's funny. Lost his hyphens in the divorce. When Disney 1:56:03.400 --> 1:56:04.860 bought the rights to Winnie the Pooh, he didn't like 1:56:04.880 --> 1:56:07.800 the way it looked, so he nixed it. And now 1:56:07.900 --> 1:56:13.020 the accepted use of Winnie the Pooh is no hyphens. Oh, wow. 1:56:13.060 --> 1:56:14.000 And it's because of Disney. 1:56:14.220 --> 1:56:17.000 So now I'm starting to think, is his name Winnie 1:56:17.020 --> 1:56:20.730 the Pooh, or is it just the Pooh and his 1:56:20.860 --> 1:56:23.530 friend group, or is his legal name Winnie? 1:56:23.710 --> 1:56:27.250 Well, they call him Pooh, right? Yeah, Pooh Bear. Remember? 1:56:27.690 --> 1:56:31.000 But where do you think Pooh came from? Well, don't 1:56:31.040 --> 1:56:35.780 make me do the dumb jokes up. Pooh actually, if 1:56:35.820 --> 1:56:38.630 I remember right, was a goose that lived or a 1:56:38.700 --> 1:56:41.210 duck that lived on the farm where or lived in 1:56:41.250 --> 1:56:45.370 the area. And I think his son named that that 1:56:45.450 --> 1:56:48.370 duck Pooh. And then on top of that, Millen, when 1:56:48.390 --> 1:56:50.860 he was writing the book, said Pooh is the sound 1:56:50.900 --> 1:56:53.200 that the bear would make when he was blowing flies 1:56:53.240 --> 1:56:55.930 out of his face. So it's Winnie the Pooh. That's 1:56:55.950 --> 1:56:56.650 where it came from. 1:56:56.730 --> 1:57:00.089 And then Winnie means, like, gentle friend. 1:57:00.690 --> 1:57:03.630 Does it really? I believe so, yes. Yeah, yeah. But 1:57:03.690 --> 1:57:06.010 Winnie is short for Winnipeg, and I don't know if 1:57:06.030 --> 1:57:07.930 that was meant to be, but, yeah, that's the case. 1:57:08.270 --> 1:57:12.100 Really interesting history about this book and this entire series 1:57:12.180 --> 1:57:12.800 and the author. 1:57:13.120 --> 1:57:14.839 Oh, and the fact he just wrote it for his kids? 1:57:14.880 --> 1:57:17.800 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure did. It's crazy. And Christopher Robin's 1:57:17.820 --> 1:57:20.000 a real guy. His real name is Christopher Robin Milne. Dude, 1:57:20.040 --> 1:57:23.020 I'd be forgetting a diaper. This guy wrote a book. 1:57:25.990 --> 1:57:26.770 So I do. 1:57:26.790 --> 1:57:29.290 There's actually I'm giving you a little BOGO here because 1:57:29.470 --> 1:57:32.650 I'm having a third life crisis and I've never I 1:57:32.890 --> 1:57:37.180 don't think I've ever experienced this one aspect of, quote unquote, 1:57:37.190 --> 1:57:40.780 a type of therapy that I've ever experienced before. And 1:57:40.800 --> 1:57:43.160 I can't be stopped. And I kind of like it. 1:57:43.220 --> 1:57:45.200 And it makes me feel like an independent woman. 1:57:45.220 --> 1:57:49.570 We'll find out what that is next.

Like a third life crisis? 1:59:46.320 --> 1:59:46.600 Yeah. 1:59:46.700 --> 1:59:49.920 What am I, 37? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, fifth? 1:59:50.090 --> 1:59:51.910 That's midlife. Yeah, midlife. 1:59:51.930 --> 1:59:54.530 Believe it or not, this is a midlife crisis. Listen, 1:59:54.650 --> 1:59:56.370 I'll fall on that sword, sure. We'll call it a 1:59:56.410 --> 1:59:57.210 midlife crisis. 1:59:57.890 --> 1:59:58.040 And I. 1:59:58.610 --> 2:00:02.410 You're not feeling it though, are you? Yeah, I know. Well, 2:00:02.690 --> 2:00:03.860 all I know is it's a crisis. 2:00:03.900 --> 2:00:07.120 We can give it whatever PR we want, but I 2:00:07.200 --> 2:00:10.140 am pulling the trigger on some decisions that like, have 2:00:10.180 --> 2:00:12.320 you guys ever bought something and made you think like 2:00:12.340 --> 2:00:15.360 to yourself quickly after the purchase, maybe you're like going 2:00:15.380 --> 2:00:15.880 through something. 2:00:16.760 --> 2:00:21.620 Oh, you mean like a vet at 62 or like 2:00:21.700 --> 2:00:25.810 a core vet or like a spray tan? Yeah. 2:00:27.630 --> 2:00:29.850 If I bought a spray tan, I would walk out 2:00:29.890 --> 2:00:31.890 in my car and be like, I think I might 2:00:31.910 --> 2:00:33.230 be going through something. 2:00:33.610 --> 2:00:36.660 Perfect white veneers almost. They're blue almost. Yeah, with your 2:00:36.900 --> 2:00:38.880 orange and now you just look like a creamsicle. 2:00:38.900 --> 2:00:39.120 Yeah. 2:00:40.760 --> 2:00:45.540 You look very orange soda-like. And I have that. And 2:00:45.620 --> 2:00:49.280 I also found my solution as well. Like, I found 2:00:49.380 --> 2:00:53.360 my rock bottom and I found my Mount Everest top 2:00:53.580 --> 2:00:55.300 all this past weekend. All right, so you have the 2:00:55.340 --> 2:00:58.190 bookends all in one weekend. First and foremost, let me 2:00:58.200 --> 2:01:01.830 just confess something. I'm kind of addicted right now to 2:01:02.410 --> 2:01:04.130 buying Switch 2 video games. 2:01:05.670 --> 2:01:07.940 Like, embarrassingly. How many are there? 2:01:08.220 --> 2:01:09.800 There's a lot, Jim. 2:01:09.920 --> 2:01:12.940 Oh, are there? There's a lot. Like 100 of these 2:01:13.020 --> 2:01:14.760 or 50 of these? I don't have 100. I don't 2:01:14.780 --> 2:01:16.280 have 50. You know what I'm saying? It's like, how 2:01:16.320 --> 2:01:18.390 many are there available? Like, I mean, when can your 2:01:18.400 --> 2:01:22.090 addiction stop? How many do you have right now? Endless. Indefinite. 2:01:22.290 --> 2:01:26.850 How many have you purchased? That's a straightforward question, Ross. 2:01:27.670 --> 2:01:28.010 I don't know. 2:01:28.030 --> 2:01:30.050 What do you mean you don't know? That's how many. 2:01:31.030 --> 2:01:34.180 I haven't counted because it's happened so fast. And the 2:01:34.280 --> 2:01:36.610 first time in my life, this is the moment where 2:01:36.650 --> 2:01:39.530 I thought, maybe I am going through something. 2:01:39.670 --> 2:01:44.440 Because I have never. A divorce? Nope. I've never had 2:01:44.600 --> 2:01:49.630 a backlog of content. Oh, in other words, you've never 2:01:49.650 --> 2:01:51.110 had a stack of stuff you had to get to 2:01:51.140 --> 2:01:55.140 when it came to video games. Not even video games. Books. Really? 2:01:55.300 --> 2:01:57.220 I have always bought a video game. 2:01:57.260 --> 2:01:57.840 I went home. 2:01:57.900 --> 2:02:00.120 I played it for the next two, three weeks. And 2:02:00.160 --> 2:02:02.240 then I'm like, all right, sure. I can go buy 2:02:02.300 --> 2:02:04.090 another one. You never had one you could get to. 2:02:04.730 --> 2:02:09.130 Is it the idea of the gaming industry switching to 2:02:09.370 --> 2:02:12.370 no hard copies where you will own nothing and like 2:02:12.450 --> 2:02:14.470 it and you are trying to fight back? 2:02:14.910 --> 2:02:18.000 I think so. Also, probably in pursuit of my youth 2:02:18.060 --> 2:02:18.700 all over again. 2:02:18.780 --> 2:02:21.940 Yeah. Because I'm buying games, Jim, that I also played 2:02:21.980 --> 2:02:22.740 when I was young. 2:02:22.760 --> 2:02:25.460 Are you really? Yeah, that's a midlife crisis. 2:02:25.560 --> 2:02:25.740 Oh, no. 2:02:25.740 --> 2:02:27.060 That's the very definition. 2:02:27.120 --> 2:02:29.550 Yeah, I think it could be a three-quarter life crisis. Hey, look, 2:02:29.570 --> 2:02:31.870 when I bought my little Mustang, that was a midlife 2:02:31.890 --> 2:02:33.990 crisis a little bit. Not because it was very expensive 2:02:34.010 --> 2:02:35.730 or anything like that, but it was the car I 2:02:35.770 --> 2:02:38.400 liked when I was a kid, when I was young. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 2:02:38.850 --> 2:02:39.380 Oh, God. 2:02:39.420 --> 2:02:43.080 That's not good for me. Yeah. I like the wiener van. Okay. 2:02:43.200 --> 2:02:46.570 So glad you said van. Yeah. The truck. 2:02:47.160 --> 2:02:48.570 That was my favorite car when I was a kid. 2:02:48.590 --> 2:02:49.350 I thought it was hilarious. 2:02:49.370 --> 2:02:51.710 The Wienermobile? Yeah, the Wienermobile. That's going to be a 2:02:51.750 --> 2:02:52.650 weird midlife crisis. 2:02:52.690 --> 2:02:53.050 It is. 2:02:53.070 --> 2:02:56.130 I think it's also a three bed, two bed. 2:02:57.470 --> 2:03:00.270 So I've been, and for any nerds out there, yeah, 2:03:00.340 --> 2:03:04.660 I'm talking Fire Emblem. Yeah, I'm talking Star Fox. And yeah, 2:03:04.820 --> 2:03:05.460 I'm talking. 2:03:05.480 --> 2:03:06.480 These are the games? 2:03:06.600 --> 2:03:09.720 Yeah, these are some of the games. I just found 2:03:09.800 --> 2:03:13.290 Oblivion Gym on Switch 2. That's a hard find. 2:03:13.510 --> 2:03:13.930 Is it really? 2:03:13.970 --> 2:03:16.250 That's a hard find. I found it and I bought it. 2:03:17.430 --> 2:03:20.070 And that was also another one of those moments of like, 2:03:20.090 --> 2:03:20.590 what am I doing? 2:03:20.690 --> 2:03:20.950 Yeah. 2:03:21.050 --> 2:03:26.130 Because right now I have unopened video games, like four 2:03:26.170 --> 2:03:26.450 of them. 2:03:26.690 --> 2:03:28.630 Well, how expensive are they, though? I mean, if they're 2:03:28.670 --> 2:03:29.510 not expensive. 2:03:29.530 --> 2:03:31.310 Sometimes one of them was 20 bucks. 2:03:31.370 --> 2:03:34.370 I think the most expensive one in Elden Ring, which, 2:03:34.490 --> 2:03:36.970 by the way, I already own. 2:03:37.130 --> 2:03:40.070 Yeah.

Only at 2:05:37.420 --> 2:05:39.880 work did I realize, like, what am I doing? 2:05:39.920 --> 2:05:42.600 This is your version of a woman going out and 2:05:42.640 --> 2:05:45.050 shopping for clothes for herself or something like that, right? 2:05:45.100 --> 2:05:48.770 Yeah, I think so. 100%. What would your version of 2:05:48.790 --> 2:05:52.150 that be? Do you have one? Mine's all golf stuff. 2:05:52.270 --> 2:05:53.190 I mean, it's all golf stuff. 2:05:53.310 --> 2:05:55.450 Golf stuff? Yeah, yeah, like New Driver, stuff like that. 2:05:55.690 --> 2:05:56.850 What are you gasping at, Jackson? 2:05:56.890 --> 2:05:59.490 I'd hate to interrupt his segment here, but this text, 2:05:59.530 --> 2:06:03.100 I think he has to handle this immediately. Someone's saying, Sauce, 2:06:03.500 --> 2:06:05.140 Switch and Switch 2 suck. 2:06:05.860 --> 2:06:06.280 Why? 2:06:06.700 --> 2:06:09.880 I could understand if they were PS2 games or just 2:06:09.960 --> 2:06:13.440 Traveler's Tales Lego games, but Switch blows. 2:06:14.270 --> 2:06:14.490 Yeah. 2:06:14.810 --> 2:06:15.150 Wow. 2:06:15.450 --> 2:06:19.880 Disagree. This is actually one time Nintendo, you don't need 2:06:19.920 --> 2:06:21.980 to blow anything. It rocks. 2:06:22.760 --> 2:06:24.720 And that is such a nerd joke. That wasn't even 2:06:24.760 --> 2:06:29.430 a sexual reference. That was a cartridge blowing cartridge joke. 2:06:29.780 --> 2:06:34.930 I was laughing at the sex reference. I thought that 2:06:34.970 --> 2:06:37.350 was the funny part. My bad. You gotta tell me 2:06:37.370 --> 2:06:38.230 these things, dude. I don't know. 2:06:39.070 --> 2:06:41.510 I know I'm doing two topics here, but at a 2:06:41.570 --> 2:06:44.200 time where I really needed it the most, there is 2:06:44.300 --> 2:06:47.720 something that not just live music can accomplish. 2:06:47.880 --> 2:06:48.260 Okay. 2:06:48.320 --> 2:06:48.520 Right? 2:06:48.760 --> 2:06:50.500 I'm at Inter.co Stadium. 2:06:50.520 --> 2:06:54.380 I'm hosting for Orlando City, and it's... Noche Latina, which 2:06:54.600 --> 2:06:56.340 as my mom calls it, Latin night. 2:06:56.920 --> 2:07:03.920 And they got empanadas up in there. Oh, I love it. 2:07:04.030 --> 2:07:05.290 And the night's going amazing. 2:07:05.470 --> 2:07:08.470 And then they announce in the pre-show meeting, they go, hey, 2:07:08.930 --> 2:07:13.310 also we have Mariachi Cobra in for performing the national 2:07:13.430 --> 2:07:14.130 anthem tonight. 2:07:14.370 --> 2:07:15.470 Mariachi Cobra. 2:07:15.590 --> 2:07:18.270 Mariachi Cobra. This is a Mariachi band. This is a 2:07:18.290 --> 2:07:22.910 Mariachi band. And Jim, I'm here to tell you, I 2:07:22.950 --> 2:07:26.920 didn't know how much I needed a mariachi band that night. 2:07:27.760 --> 2:07:31.420 They absolutely rocked my socks off. 2:07:31.560 --> 2:07:35.300 I love mariachi bands. What is it? I don't know, 2:07:35.360 --> 2:07:37.680 but I love them. The minute I hear one, I 2:07:37.700 --> 2:07:41.600 start smelling tequila. You just... I don't think there is a... 2:07:41.730 --> 2:07:43.350 I don't even know if it's a genre. Is it 2:07:43.390 --> 2:07:47.490 a genre? Is mariachi a genre? Oh, yeah, yeah. Mariachi music? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 2:07:47.790 --> 2:07:48.830 Sure it is. 2:07:48.850 --> 2:07:52.570 It is, in my two cents, the best to be around, 2:07:52.570 --> 2:07:54.400 and it's not even that close. 2:07:54.400 --> 2:07:57.220 So passionate. Dude, we used to, when we go on cruises, 2:07:57.600 --> 2:07:59.880 when we find a mariachi band, we pile up. It's 2:07:59.920 --> 2:08:01.880 the greatest. We went to a restaurant one time where 2:08:01.900 --> 2:08:03.360 they would, they had like a small one that would 2:08:03.380 --> 2:08:06.400 travel around from table to table, guitar, stand up bass, 2:08:06.480 --> 2:08:09.360 and like a trumpet. Oh my God. Unbelievable. 2:08:09.500 --> 2:08:09.760 Yeah. 2:08:09.780 --> 2:08:12.440 So I'm, I'm just listening to them play and I'm 2:08:12.460 --> 2:08:15.230 starting to like love myself all over again. And then 2:08:15.270 --> 2:08:18.750 just like quickly pulled out my phone and, Bought another 2:08:18.790 --> 2:08:24.600 video game. Traveler Zero. Don't care if it's a download. 2:08:24.650 --> 2:08:27.300 I still got it. The world can't stop me. Those 2:08:27.320 --> 2:08:29.380 are your raw thoughts.

Driving around in a 1992 Geo Tracker, 2:09:03.210 --> 2:09:07.440 blaring the Halo theme song, pretending that this tracker was 2:09:07.480 --> 2:09:09.340 a warthog. They got a guy standing up with a 2:09:09.380 --> 2:09:10.060 machine gun. 2:09:10.620 --> 2:09:14.220 Oh, it was awesome. And then Zellie thought it was awesome. 2:09:15.470 --> 2:09:18.730 Welcome back. Your 6 o'clock keyword is bank, B-A-N-K. I'm Jim. 2:09:18.750 --> 2:09:19.230 There's Deb. 2:09:19.810 --> 2:09:20.090 Jack. 2:09:20.750 --> 2:09:21.720 And Ross as well. 2:09:21.810 --> 2:09:27.060 Yeah. You ever went to a midnight launch? Did you 2:09:27.080 --> 2:09:29.440 ever do that? Like a midnight showing? 2:09:31.590 --> 2:09:33.670 Of what, buddy? Just like a movie or something? A 2:09:33.890 --> 2:09:35.290 release of anything. 2:09:35.370 --> 2:09:38.840 I remember seeing Revenge of the Sith at midnight, and 2:09:39.060 --> 2:09:41.140 it was a forever memory. 2:09:41.280 --> 2:09:44.440 Never waited. I mean, I waited online overnight for tickets 2:09:44.620 --> 2:09:49.900 for my ex-wife for a band called Genesis, and then 2:09:49.980 --> 2:09:52.860 I was the one right before they sold the last ticket, 2:09:53.360 --> 2:09:57.740 after waiting there overnight. And then what else did I 2:09:57.800 --> 2:09:59.900 wait in line for? I don't know. Nothing like that, maybe. 2:09:59.940 --> 2:10:04.660 Black Friday, anything? Oh, yeah, Black Friday at night for 2:10:04.680 --> 2:10:08.240 an $ 80 TV or something. I did that one time. 2:10:08.320 --> 2:10:10.210 It counts. At Home Depot, oddly enough. 2:10:10.350 --> 2:10:12.410 It counts, but that comes with an asterisk for the 2:10:12.470 --> 2:10:15.990 midnight launch. Because midnight launch was for one specific thing. 2:10:16.030 --> 2:10:19.630 And here's the greatest part about midnight launches is that 2:10:19.650 --> 2:10:21.220 you were with like-minded people. 2:10:21.610 --> 2:10:22.610 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 2:10:22.650 --> 2:10:25.140 You were hanging out with other Halo fans or other 2:10:25.200 --> 2:10:26.160 Harry Potter fans. 2:10:26.180 --> 2:10:28.380 That's how it was at the Genesis show because everybody 2:10:28.400 --> 2:10:30.940 there was a gigantic fan of the band. So we 2:10:30.960 --> 2:10:32.300 talked about music the entire night. 2:10:32.320 --> 2:10:35.000 Yeah, the Harry Potter books were another one where you 2:10:35.020 --> 2:10:35.920 would have to line up for. 2:10:35.940 --> 2:10:36.960 Oh, really? Yeah. 2:10:37.020 --> 2:10:38.620 Yeah, I went to a midnight release for that. 2:10:38.760 --> 2:10:39.900 Did you really for the Harry Potter books? 2:10:39.920 --> 2:10:40.750 Yep, dressed up. 2:10:40.880 --> 2:10:41.960 Yeah, I know her. As who? 2:10:42.020 --> 2:10:42.340 Really? 2:10:42.360 --> 2:10:43.020 As a witch. 2:10:43.440 --> 2:10:46.970 Oh, that's awesome. I saw a thing today on– A 2:10:47.050 --> 2:10:49.670 really interesting thing, because Halloween stuff, as it comes around, 2:10:49.770 --> 2:10:51.450 you see stories about that. Do you know what the 2:10:51.570 --> 2:10:53.580 origin of the witch's hat is? 2:10:55.220 --> 2:10:56.300 I'm reading it as we speak. 2:10:56.360 --> 2:10:58.360 It's very interesting. Where are you on reading that? 2:10:59.020 --> 2:11:00.620 Just why it's pointy and black. 2:11:00.940 --> 2:11:03.970 Right. So I think it was the New York Times 2:11:04.010 --> 2:11:09.390 today had a big article about the history of why 2:11:09.490 --> 2:11:13.110 witch's hats are pointed. And it turns out that in history, 2:11:13.350 --> 2:11:16.630 a lot of people who are marginalized have been have 2:11:16.670 --> 2:11:20.390 been deemed to wear the cone hat. Well, think about 2:11:20.410 --> 2:11:23.480 the dumps. Yeah, that's just one of them. But all 2:11:23.490 --> 2:11:26.400 through our history for years, you know, societies and cultures 2:11:26.440 --> 2:11:28.560 have put pointed hats on people to point them out 2:11:28.660 --> 2:11:31.120 for nothing good. By the way, they're never, ever, ever 2:11:31.340 --> 2:11:33.340 used to go. That's the smartest guy in the room 2:11:33.380 --> 2:11:36.180 or that person saves my life. It's always to point 2:11:36.220 --> 2:11:39.720 them out as somebody that's like dumber or marginalized or 2:11:39.800 --> 2:11:41.080 isn't as good as the rest of the group. 2:11:42.040 --> 2:11:44.340 It's interesting considering the Klan had pointed hats. 2:11:44.460 --> 2:11:44.660 Right. 2:11:45.080 --> 2:11:46.780 It's kind of wild. I don't know why. 2:11:46.980 --> 2:11:49.560 It's never like, see that? That's the direction they go 2:11:49.660 --> 2:11:52.700 after they die. It's never like good news. 2:11:53.220 --> 2:11:56.940 They go to heaven. You guys know who Ella Langley is, right? 2:11:57.740 --> 2:12:00.970 Country artist with that song, Choose in Texas. Have you 2:12:00.990 --> 2:12:04.300 not heard the song? I did not. I don't think so. 2:12:04.500 --> 2:12:05.920 Can you play a little bit of it, Jack, without 2:12:05.960 --> 2:12:08.540 doing the thing or no? I can. I'll just have 2:12:08.560 --> 2:12:10.320 to cut this out of the podcast. Well, no, don't 2:12:10.340 --> 2:12:11.280 worry about it then. I don't want you to have 2:12:11.300 --> 2:12:13.440 to do that. So the song Choose in Texas is 2:12:13.480 --> 2:12:16.830 now the number one selling and the number one charting 2:12:16.890 --> 2:12:19.430 song in the history of music, right? More than any 2:12:19.470 --> 2:12:22.230 Beatles tune, more than any Elvis song, more than any 2:12:22.290 --> 2:12:25.130 Christmas song. It is a gigantic hit. 2:12:25.230 --> 2:12:25.390 Here. 2:12:26.510 --> 2:12:29.200 That's all I can give. Got it. I have heard 2:12:29.220 --> 2:12:32.840 that song. That worked. And it's actually kind of a 2:12:32.880 --> 2:12:35.780 cool little theory. She's from Tennessee. The girl that she's 2:12:35.800 --> 2:12:37.960 going to lose her boyfriend to is from Texas. So 2:12:37.980 --> 2:12:40.670 that's why it's called choosing Texas. Texas is actually a 2:12:40.710 --> 2:12:44.450 girl from Texas, right? Well, there's some controversy around her 2:12:44.470 --> 2:12:48.260 now because do you know who Riley Green is? He's 2:12:48.280 --> 2:12:50.700 the guy that is on your wife's hall pass. 2:12:50.740 --> 2:12:51.020 Yes. 2:12:51.090 --> 2:12:53.850 Well, Riley Green is a country music artist, is also 2:12:53.890 --> 2:12:58.110 an actor, and he had a duet with her. I'm saying, 2:12:58.130 --> 2:13:01.480 and the duet was a big hit. Well, Riley green, 2:13:01.760 --> 2:13:04.140 if I remember reading the story, right, took her out 2:13:04.300 --> 2:13:06.800 on tour when he went out on a major tour 2:13:06.980 --> 2:13:07.880 to open up for him. 2:13:07.960 --> 2:13:08.200 Right. 2:13:08.780 --> 2:13:12.310 So he's now a guest or a judge on the voice. 2:13:12.390 --> 2:13:12.630 Right. 2:13:12.890 --> 2:13:13.150 Right. 2:13:13.610 --> 2:13:16.870 So I guess during the voice, he made a comment 2:13:17.050 --> 2:13:20.930 about taking Ella Langley out on tour with him. And 2:13:20.990 --> 2:13:23.350 it seemed like that he was trying to take a 2:13:23.380 --> 2:13:25.100 little credit for her success. 2:13:25.120 --> 2:13:25.220 Right. 2:13:25.970 --> 2:13:26.130 Right. 2:13:26.150 --> 2:13:28.570 That's kind of what happened because she fired back about, 2:13:28.870 --> 2:13:30.420 you know, that sounds like what a man would say 2:13:30.480 --> 2:13:33.220 kind of thing. But I read the entire interaction and 2:13:33.260 --> 2:13:35.100 it didn't sound like that at all. But even though 2:13:35.720 --> 2:13:37.860 that that's the case, I mean, he didn't make the 2:13:37.900 --> 2:13:41.130 song great, but he did. He does. He's doing what 2:13:41.150 --> 2:13:44.210 the show asks him to do, which is recognize talent. 2:13:44.270 --> 2:13:44.490 Right. 2:13:45.050 --> 2:13:47.610 The whole show is to find singers that they think 2:13:47.630 --> 2:13:49.630 they can make it. And that's exactly what he did 2:13:49.670 --> 2:13:52.720 with her by putting her on his tour. And I 2:13:52.760 --> 2:13:54.220 didn't think he was trying to take credit for it. 2:13:54.420 --> 2:13:56.240 I think he was just trying to say, hey, look, 2:13:56.420 --> 2:13:58.040 I gave her a good shot. She did the most 2:13:58.080 --> 2:13:58.360 with it. 2:13:58.580 --> 2:14:02.500 When I interviewed Christopher Cross recently, to this day, he 2:14:02.560 --> 2:14:06.560 gives credit to the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac. After his 2:14:06.680 --> 2:14:09.280 album comes up, he credits him because they took him 2:14:09.380 --> 2:14:10.360 on tour with them. 2:14:10.420 --> 2:14:10.680 Right. 2:14:11.000 --> 2:14:11.340 With him. 2:14:11.780 --> 2:14:14.130 And so he was able to play in front of 2:14:14.150 --> 2:14:16.850 those audience, which really, and you know, then his career 2:14:16.910 --> 2:14:19.450 took off after that, but he totally gave credit to 2:14:19.470 --> 2:14:23.210 the bands that allowed opening up. How many artists blew 2:14:23.310 --> 2:14:25.850 up because they were able to open for Taylor Swift 2:14:26.050 --> 2:14:27.650 on the air, on the errors tour. 2:14:27.670 --> 2:14:28.940 Well, do you, how about I think all of them, 2:14:29.100 --> 2:14:31.060 I go to see Limp Bizkit years and years ago 2:14:31.100 --> 2:14:33.500 and their opening band was a nobody band that nobody 2:14:33.520 --> 2:14:35.520 had heard of. And then three years later, they had 2:14:35.560 --> 2:14:37.620 the biggest rock album in the world. And it was 2:14:38.040 --> 2:14:41.090 a system of a down. They opened up for– I 2:14:41.310 --> 2:14:43.370 think they were the opening band and then another band 2:14:43.650 --> 2:14:46.130 before Limp Bizkit came out. So they're the opener opener, 2:14:46.510 --> 2:14:48.710 and they blew up. And part of that was because 2:14:49.050 --> 2:14:51.810 they got to show their music and play their music 2:14:51.840 --> 2:14:55.420 for people who were like-minded, and it made them gigantic stars. 2:14:55.800 --> 2:14:58.080 I think you can– it's hard to take. It's hard 2:14:58.120 --> 2:15:00.210 to say that, like, oh, I'll take credit for it, 2:15:00.240 --> 2:15:02.000 but I don't think there's anything wrong with going, like, 2:15:02.060 --> 2:15:04.470 I was one of the positive steps in the right direction. 2:15:04.480 --> 2:15:07.950 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm happy that I was able to help. 100%. 2:15:07.950 --> 2:15:10.130 You look at what the Monsters have done over 35 2:15:10.130 --> 2:15:13.010 years and how many different shows have kind of come 2:15:13.110 --> 2:15:15.950 out of that cast, how many different entities of entertainment 2:15:16.270 --> 2:15:18.190 have come out of that cast over the years, right? 2:15:18.550 --> 2:15:21.990 I mean, it's just the truth. It happened. So that's 2:15:22.030 --> 2:15:25.630 the biggest indicator, like, from what I have experienced. I'm like, yeah. Hey, 2:15:25.670 --> 2:15:27.830 it came from monsters. If not for that monster show, 2:15:28.130 --> 2:15:30.830 probably wouldn't have had this show, you know? So it's 2:15:30.850 --> 2:15:32.210 just one of those things. You take a comic out, 2:15:32.230 --> 2:15:34.610 let's say you're, you're booking shows and you find a 2:15:34.640 --> 2:15:36.360 comic in Orlando. You think is awesome. You put them 2:15:36.380 --> 2:15:39.200 on the show. They explode. You know, you can't take 2:15:39.260 --> 2:15:40.860 credit for their comedy cause you didn't write it, but 2:15:40.880 --> 2:15:43.760 you could also, you can take credit for recognizing game. 2:15:44.860 --> 2:15:49.240 I mean, listen, if anybody wants to be my opening act, uh, 2:15:49.480 --> 2:15:51.850 you should, because they've all done better than me. 2:15:52.010 --> 2:15:52.090 Yeah. 2:15:55.210 --> 2:15:59.830 Every single one of them has absolutely gone on to 2:15:59.870 --> 2:16:01.430 do amazing and great things. 2:16:01.510 --> 2:16:04.520 Done better is relative because they don't have a beautiful 2:16:04.540 --> 2:16:06.440 child and a gorgeous wife. That is correct. Yeah, so 2:16:06.480 --> 2:16:09.540 it's all relative there. They don't have Mr. Miles. Yeah, 2:16:09.560 --> 2:16:11.300 they don't have Mr. Miles for sure. I just found 2:16:11.320 --> 2:16:12.900 that kind of wild that she would do that. I mean, 2:16:12.920 --> 2:16:15.720 she doesn't have to do that. And I didn't think 2:16:15.760 --> 2:16:17.910 he was really trying to take credit for it because 2:16:17.930 --> 2:16:19.750 he didn't write the song. I mean, she and Miranda 2:16:19.770 --> 2:16:22.290 Lambert wrote the song. He was just basically saying, look, 2:16:22.330 --> 2:16:24.370 I gave her a shot. I recognize she had game. 2:16:24.410 --> 2:16:26.150 I gave her a shot. Do you think that's kind 2:16:26.190 --> 2:16:27.570 of taking credit for it? No, not at all. 2:16:27.630 --> 2:16:30.130 I mean, you have to acknowledge the people that helped 2:16:30.150 --> 2:16:30.710 you get there. 2:16:30.730 --> 2:16:31.810 Sure, 100%. 2:16:31.810 --> 2:16:35.040 If she doesn't have what's considered maybe the biggest hit 2:16:35.180 --> 2:16:39.100 ever in the history of music with this song, and 2:16:39.220 --> 2:16:41.959 everything else is the same, does she take offense at 2:16:42.000 --> 2:16:42.560 that comment? 2:16:42.580 --> 2:16:44.340 Yeah, that's a really good point. Or does he even 2:16:44.379 --> 2:16:44.920 make the comment? 2:16:45.700 --> 2:16:48.580 Well, I want to know the exact comment because that's 2:16:48.700 --> 2:16:50.120 pretty important. 2:16:50.180 --> 2:16:51.480 What's the exact. 2:16:51.180 --> 2:16:53.890 Pull quote of what he said that all of a 2:16:53.930 --> 2:16:57.630 sudden made the possibility of confrontation even a chance? 2:16:57.650 --> 2:17:00.250 It's funny. I only wrote down what I wrote down 2:17:00.370 --> 2:17:05.110 is Ella Langley fires at Riley Green's comment on taking 2:17:05.170 --> 2:17:06.700 her on tour. It was viewed as him trying to 2:17:06.740 --> 2:17:09.420 take credit for her success. It's not. Him taking her 2:17:09.480 --> 2:17:11.100 on tour is an indication that he knows how to 2:17:11.140 --> 2:17:13.240 spot talent, and that's what his show that he's on 2:17:13.280 --> 2:17:16.020 is all about. If he was a budding comic and 2:17:16.080 --> 2:17:18.140 Ross took him on tour and I blew up, Ross 2:17:18.160 --> 2:17:20.600 gets credit for recognizing game, right? That's exactly what I 2:17:20.620 --> 2:17:23.060 wrote down in my paragraph here. The story is too long. 2:17:23.100 --> 2:17:24.520 I didn't pull it to talk about because it's just 2:17:24.540 --> 2:17:27.060 such a blurb. So the quote. 2:17:26.820 --> 2:17:30.800 Was on the show, he goes, he's talking to two sisters. 2:17:31.140 --> 2:17:34.220 He told sisters, Fahrenheit, Brinkley, right? I believe they are 2:17:34.260 --> 2:17:36.039 the competitors probably on the show. 2:17:36.120 --> 2:17:36.280 Yeah. 2:17:36.520 --> 2:17:38.760 There was a girl that reminded me a lot of y'all. 2:17:39.120 --> 2:17:42.160 I took her on tour with me. Her name's Ella Langley. 2:17:42.680 --> 2:17:46.430 She's doing pretty well. Does that sound like he's trying 2:17:46.470 --> 2:17:48.550 to take credit for her success? 2:17:49.629 --> 2:17:54.980 No, but I will say this. Why wouldn't you associate 2:17:55.010 --> 2:17:56.670 yourself with that if you had something to do with it? 2:17:56.720 --> 2:17:57.520 I would immediately. 2:17:57.800 --> 2:18:02.260 I think he is smart enough to associate himself with 2:18:02.459 --> 2:18:06.280 the exploding, meteoric, rising talent. 2:18:05.780 --> 2:18:07.640 Of Buddy, if you ever made it to SNL, I'd 2:18:07.700 --> 2:18:10.379 never shut up about it. I would never shut up 2:18:10.420 --> 2:18:12.260 about it. I'd be like, yep, I brought this guy in. 2:18:12.760 --> 2:18:15.959 I gave him a spot. He blew up. I couldn't 2:18:15.980 --> 2:18:18.879 get out of my own way taking credit. 2:18:18.900 --> 2:18:21.980 I think that would be the only thing that you 2:18:22.020 --> 2:18:24.800 could find any bit of criticism for, but I'm still 2:18:24.840 --> 2:18:25.840 not going to be. 2:18:25.940 --> 2:18:27.980 That's just kind of the name of the game, man. 2:18:28.000 --> 2:18:30.340 That's showbiz. And there's some other celebrity drama out there. 2:18:30.360 --> 2:18:32.490 Have you guys been paying attention to this Kelly Clarkson 2:18:32.500 --> 2:18:33.310 drama that's happening? 2:18:33.330 --> 2:18:33.520 Uh-oh. 2:18:34.570 --> 2:18:35.850 Did you have you paid attention to it. 2:18:36.110 --> 2:18:38.110 I haven't been paying attention to it really but you 2:18:38.129 --> 2:18:38.970 can't escape it yeah. 2:18:39.010 --> 2:18:41.150 It's crazy it's everywhere have you guys heard about it 2:18:41.370 --> 2:18:43.590 yeah she went had to do with it she went 2:18:43.610 --> 2:18:46.109 into a store and then kind of got in a 2:18:46.170 --> 2:18:48.810 tiff well okay so she it's a she had a 2:18:48.870 --> 2:18:51.860 pretty woman moment is what she says now that's how 2:18:51.879 --> 2:18:54.100 she described well let me tell you this thing's gone 2:18:54.240 --> 2:18:58.660 crazy okay this kelly clarkson thing is everywhere right so 2:18:59.120 --> 2:19:01.449 Kelly Clarkson goes into a shop in. 2:19:01.410 --> 2:19:02.410 The Bronx or Brooklyn? 2:19:02.610 --> 2:19:03.570 I think it was Brooklyn. 2:19:03.590 --> 2:19:05.470 In Brooklyn. It's a little shop, and it's a little, 2:19:05.709 --> 2:19:09.290 like a niche-y little toy kind of curiosity shop, right, 2:19:09.310 --> 2:19:10.790 that she heard about. She said she was going in 2:19:10.830 --> 2:19:13.480 there because she thought it looked rad online, so she 2:19:13.500 --> 2:19:15.640 wanted to see what was up. So she goes in, 2:19:15.660 --> 2:19:19.820 and she starts asking or looking at this animatronic bird 2:19:19.840 --> 2:19:23.160 that is on the wall. And the bird apparently has 2:19:23.180 --> 2:19:26.840 like a price tag or whatever. And she asked about it. 2:19:27.000 --> 2:19:29.660 And the guy says, well, it's not for sale, but 2:19:29.680 --> 2:19:31.980 there was a tag hanging there. And he says, I 2:19:32.020 --> 2:19:36.410 can show you something a little bit more affordable, affordable, right? 2:19:36.530 --> 2:19:39.010 As if to say that she couldn't afford the 15 2:19:39.010 --> 2:19:42.550 grand they were looking for, for that particular bird. And 2:19:42.590 --> 2:19:44.550 she lost her mind. She thought that they were kind 2:19:44.590 --> 2:19:47.270 of giving her the pretty woman thing and judging her 2:19:47.390 --> 2:19:48.970 by the way she looked and not what she could 2:19:49.010 --> 2:19:51.800 afford or whatever. And apparently she, It went crazy. She 2:19:51.820 --> 2:19:54.810 went online, pitched it on Bitch Online. All of her 2:19:55.010 --> 2:19:57.470 followers started kind of coming at this store. The store 2:19:57.490 --> 2:20:00.050 is coming back at her, and now the video got released. 2:20:00.690 --> 2:20:01.850 It is the craziest thing. 2:20:01.970 --> 2:20:04.610 Well, now the store says that the bird named Molly, 2:20:04.670 --> 2:20:07.850 which was $ 15, 000 when she looked at it, is now. 2:20:07.690 --> 2:20:08.850 $ 15 million. 2:20:09.010 --> 2:20:09.250 Right. 2:20:09.830 --> 2:20:14.410 And they're also saying that their employees are now in danger. 2:20:14.430 --> 2:20:17.629 They have protesters next to the shop where people– Live 2:20:17.670 --> 2:20:18.470 around the shop now. 2:20:18.510 --> 2:20:19.930 They're dealing with protesters. 2:20:20.010 --> 2:20:21.480 She came at him online pretty good. 2:20:21.500 --> 2:20:24.959 Yeah, and I don't want to say it's punching down, 2:20:25.060 --> 2:20:27.200 but it kind of is, right? 2:20:27.320 --> 2:20:28.280 It's really punching down. 2:20:28.320 --> 2:20:33.160 Yeah, she's using her power to, you know, the celebrity 2:20:33.180 --> 2:20:33.920 that she has. 2:20:35.030 --> 2:20:38.930 To what end? Because she was offended? Yeah, yeah. So 2:20:38.970 --> 2:20:41.890 now you're going to release, like, holy hell on this 2:20:41.930 --> 2:20:44.070 guy and his business? And my thing is, so it's 2:20:44.129 --> 2:20:46.970 interesting because she went online and tried to shame this 2:20:47.110 --> 2:20:50.629 shop to listeners. And how many of the people who 2:20:50.690 --> 2:20:53.830 listen to her music can afford a $ 15, 000 novelty bird? 2:20:54.050 --> 2:20:57.090 And that's really— Are you serious with this? That's such 2:20:57.140 --> 2:20:59.420 a bad look when people are struggling to pay for 2:20:59.500 --> 2:21:01.400 gas and health care and housing. 2:21:01.420 --> 2:21:01.640 Yeah, dude. 2:21:02.070 --> 2:21:04.369 To watch a celebrity who, I mean, she looked like 2:21:04.390 --> 2:21:05.950 a Schlumpa Dinka when she went in there. 2:21:05.970 --> 2:21:06.330 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 2:21:06.350 --> 2:21:07.690 Baseball cap, backpack. 2:21:07.730 --> 2:21:10.910 I mean, she wasn't Kelly Clarkson, but most celebrities don't 2:21:10.950 --> 2:21:13.709 want to be recognized when they're out with their kids, 2:21:13.770 --> 2:21:15.250 just want a day on a Saturday shopping. 2:21:15.310 --> 2:21:16.970 By the way, that's how she plays shows. I saw 2:21:16.990 --> 2:21:19.130 her play Universal Studios, and it looked like she just 2:21:19.150 --> 2:21:22.779 came from a softball game. Really? Yeah, barefoot with ill-fitting 2:21:22.820 --> 2:21:25.439 jeans and this half shirt. She looked like she did 2:21:25.480 --> 2:21:26.160 not want to be there. 2:21:26.360 --> 2:21:26.760 Oh, wow. 2:21:26.780 --> 2:21:27.279 It was crazy. 2:21:27.379 --> 2:21:28.970 I like dressing down when I'm going to make a 2:21:29.010 --> 2:21:31.270 big purchase. I want to see how I'm going to 2:21:31.290 --> 2:21:31.770 be treated. 2:21:31.790 --> 2:21:34.250 Now, like, you know what? 2:21:34.510 --> 2:21:35.090 I will have both. 2:21:36.670 --> 2:21:40.830 Tubes of toothpaste yeah the there's one tier of communication 2:21:41.050 --> 2:21:44.030 miscommunication though that i think that needs to be worth 2:21:44.090 --> 2:21:47.100 noting is that the store's response was saying hey i 2:21:47.140 --> 2:21:49.300 know that there was a price tag on it but 2:21:49.340 --> 2:21:50.699 it wasn't for sale. 2:21:50.600 --> 2:21:53.540 Yeah that bird is a permanent fixture of the shop 2:21:54.000 --> 2:21:56.789 she could um hire the artist who would make her 2:21:56.890 --> 2:22:00.430 a different bird But Molly on the wall is. 2:22:00.850 --> 2:22:02.670 Supposed to be a permanent fixture of the store. 2:22:02.690 --> 2:22:05.310 Yeah, because the shop did say, I can give you 2:22:05.350 --> 2:22:07.470 the guy's information and he can make you one on 2:22:07.490 --> 2:22:08.090 your own, I guess. 2:22:08.170 --> 2:22:11.349 So to me, it wasn't even like, hey, you can't 2:22:11.390 --> 2:22:15.350 afford this. It was them trying to like maybe whimsically 2:22:15.450 --> 2:22:18.670 trying to point someone into a different direction. Now, granted, 2:22:18.720 --> 2:22:20.699 I don't think the choice of, hey, you can't afford that. 2:22:20.980 --> 2:22:23.000 Maybe honestly, maybe even the price tag of 15 G's. 2:22:24.040 --> 2:22:25.740 of that thing being on there was kind of just 2:22:25.780 --> 2:22:28.699 for novelty reasons to even begin with. Because if it 2:22:28.720 --> 2:22:30.359 wasn't for sale, why does it have a price tag 2:22:30.379 --> 2:22:30.500 on it? 2:22:30.540 --> 2:22:31.280 Yeah, exactly. 2:22:31.300 --> 2:22:34.820 Well, that's really the only argument that they have against 2:22:34.900 --> 2:22:36.530 the store, really, is the fact that there is a 2:22:36.550 --> 2:22:39.189 price tag, and it clearly shows it was $ 15, 000. So 2:22:39.230 --> 2:22:39.949 a texter. 2:22:39.650 --> 2:22:42.150 Says we're missing the point because a customer should be 2:22:42.230 --> 2:22:44.990 treated well regardless of what they look like. Was she 2:22:45.090 --> 2:22:48.980 treated unwell? She didn't get what she wanted. She kind 2:22:49.020 --> 2:22:53.340 of thought that she was being treated because of how 2:22:53.420 --> 2:22:56.410 she looked. But if it wasn't for sale for her, 2:22:56.650 --> 2:22:58.110 it wasn't for sale for anyone. 2:22:58.209 --> 2:23:00.869 Right, yeah. So if that's the case, then was she 2:23:00.970 --> 2:23:04.470 treated unwell? And what she says is she thought they 2:23:04.490 --> 2:23:07.410 were talking down to her. Like, again, the pretty woman 2:23:07.450 --> 2:23:10.150 thing where they were like, you know, oh, yeah, sure, 2:23:10.190 --> 2:23:13.060 you want to buy the $ 15, 000 bird. That's what she's 2:23:13.200 --> 2:23:16.080 upset about because they assume they knew about it. 2:23:16.180 --> 2:23:19.750 It would have to be for sale to somebody if 2:23:19.830 --> 2:23:21.890 that's true. 2:23:22.330 --> 2:23:25.369 And a texter just said that the fact that there 2:23:25.430 --> 2:23:27.350 was a price tag meant at one point it was 2:23:27.390 --> 2:23:27.910 for sale. 2:23:30.170 --> 2:23:31.910 For the record, guys, real quick, I go into these 2:23:32.150 --> 2:23:36.650 estate sales and antique shops all the time. This is 2:23:36.790 --> 2:23:39.970 pretty regular. You can walk into an antique shop and 2:23:40.050 --> 2:23:42.950 find something that is really stunning. and go over and 2:23:42.990 --> 2:23:44.949 they will tell you, I'm sorry, that's not for sale. 2:23:44.990 --> 2:23:47.619 It's just for show as to show you kind of 2:23:47.680 --> 2:23:50.120 what we do sell. And I'm like, okay, no big deal. 2:23:50.140 --> 2:23:52.959 He's going to move on. And sometimes it is odd. 2:23:52.980 --> 2:23:54.720 Sometimes they do have price tags on it, but it's 2:23:54.740 --> 2:23:57.160 just not for sale. Have you also seen this bird 2:23:57.220 --> 2:23:57.759 in action? 2:23:57.840 --> 2:23:58.120 Yeah. 2:23:58.650 --> 2:24:00.830 I'm not going to lie. Pretty cool. Pretty badass. 2:24:00.850 --> 2:24:04.610 Yeah, it's pretty badass. It is unbelievably cool. Yeah, tiki 2:24:04.650 --> 2:24:09.770 bird badass. They just wind up. It's all acoustic. It's 2:24:09.850 --> 2:24:12.270 all not plugged in. They wind this thing up, and 2:24:12.310 --> 2:24:16.070 this little animatronic bird just comes to life. 2:24:16.129 --> 2:24:19.000 It's made by a clockmaker. Like a real, real famous clockmaker, 2:24:19.030 --> 2:24:20.379 I guess. I thought it was a real bird. 2:24:20.720 --> 2:24:20.939 No, no. 2:24:21.280 --> 2:24:21.580 No, no, no. 2:24:22.240 --> 2:24:23.660 No, no, it's not that at all. Maybe he's like 2:24:23.760 --> 2:24:26.260 singing and whistling and whatnot. And I guess that at 2:24:26.300 --> 2:24:29.019 the end it says Clarkson's influence is heavily weighted in 2:24:29.040 --> 2:24:31.860 the celebrity's favor. That doesn't mean celebrities should be censored 2:24:31.879 --> 2:24:33.939 or barred from speaking, but they should be cognizant of 2:24:33.970 --> 2:24:35.950 the reality in determining what they say and how they 2:24:35.990 --> 2:24:38.710 say it. Quote, you can't hold the celebrity responsible for 2:24:38.770 --> 2:24:41.790 everything that their followers do, of course. But if you 2:24:41.830 --> 2:24:45.150 have influence and you point them in a direction with anger, 2:24:45.170 --> 2:24:50.400 you know, who's responsible for that type thing? But it's 2:24:50.420 --> 2:24:53.420 always the person who is doing the harassment. It's their fault. 2:24:53.459 --> 2:24:54.580 It's not Kelly Clarkson's fault. 2:24:56.959 --> 2:24:58.200 She's America's sweetheart. 2:24:58.300 --> 2:25:01.500 Yeah, the art of play in Brooklyn is the name 2:25:01.520 --> 2:25:05.609 of the place. High price, mechanical bird, rising more issues 2:25:05.650 --> 2:25:07.810 than just the quality of customer service. It's also a 2:25:07.850 --> 2:25:11.369 case study in power dynamics and the differential that exists 2:25:11.410 --> 2:25:14.850 between someone at a high profile and someone without high profile. 2:25:15.290 --> 2:25:18.800 Also, another little plot twist to this whole Kelly Clarkson thing. 2:25:19.820 --> 2:25:21.520 This is a deep cut for some, but a lot 2:25:21.560 --> 2:25:23.860 of people are going to go, no way. So the 2:25:24.080 --> 2:25:27.920 footage from the store, do you know who obtained that footage? 2:25:28.180 --> 2:25:28.679 I do not. 2:25:28.940 --> 2:25:34.570 Pablo Torre, the former ESPN, like... No way. 2:25:34.730 --> 2:25:35.209 Yeah. 2:25:35.450 --> 2:25:36.070 That's wild. 2:25:36.129 --> 2:25:39.150 And it's just such a sign of 2026 to me 2:25:39.250 --> 2:25:42.910 that all of these beat writers and journalists who were 2:25:43.190 --> 2:25:46.810 on national television are still doing what they do just 2:25:46.850 --> 2:25:47.550 without TV. 2:25:47.570 --> 2:25:48.470 Yeah, yeah. 2:25:48.770 --> 2:25:51.470 Now they're just an Instagram page or a Twitter follow 2:25:51.790 --> 2:25:54.170 looking at Bill Simmons as a great example. 2:25:54.250 --> 2:25:54.800 Oh, yeah, yeah. 2:25:54.980 --> 2:25:57.520 And his show is now doing very well. 2:25:57.620 --> 2:25:57.900 Yeah, yeah. 2:25:57.920 --> 2:26:00.220 I guess the video is obtained by the Pablo Torrey 2:26:00.280 --> 2:26:01.359 Finds Out podcast. 2:26:01.400 --> 2:26:01.480 Yes. 2:26:02.459 --> 2:26:05.780 To the people who know that name, that's an insane 2:26:05.840 --> 2:26:07.200 little chapter to this event. 2:26:07.459 --> 2:26:08.780 Hey, one thing we brought up yesterday. We only have 2:26:08.800 --> 2:26:10.720 about 30 seconds before we get out of here for 2:26:10.740 --> 2:26:12.539 the segment is, what do you think about the Drewski 2:26:12.580 --> 2:26:15.360 doing the SNL thing? It's pretty cool, right? Another sign 2:26:15.379 --> 2:26:19.199 of 2026. Very happy for him. Crazy, right? An influencer 2:26:19.230 --> 2:26:21.310 is going to do that. What a pot of people 2:26:21.350 --> 2:26:23.890 to pull from. Because we were wondering, why is it Mr. 2:26:23.910 --> 2:26:27.430 Beast there? He's got TV cred. Obviously, for SNL, it's 2:26:27.470 --> 2:26:29.990 super smart because they're bringing somebody with millions of followers. 2:26:31.129 --> 2:26:34.590 I would put Drewski also in a different category of 2:26:34.650 --> 2:26:39.450 not just influencer, but he is a new-age comedian. I mean, 2:26:39.490 --> 2:26:42.850 the productions that his sketches and his videos have, and 2:26:42.890 --> 2:26:44.330 they always have bite. 2:26:45.330 --> 2:26:48.410 They come with a definitive statement. Yeah, the Erica Kirk 2:26:48.430 --> 2:26:49.740 thing is what put him on the map, though, right? 2:26:49.770 --> 2:26:49.920 Yeah. 2:26:51.180 --> 2:26:52.300 Well, to most America? 2:26:52.500 --> 2:26:55.240 To most, but I think it was a rap video 2:26:55.280 --> 2:26:57.379 that he broke through, and that was what he looks 2:26:57.459 --> 2:26:58.840 at as like a big step up. 2:26:58.860 --> 2:27:00.700 He was like in a Drake music video. By the way, 2:27:01.980 --> 2:27:03.870 all of this drama for Kelly Clarkson, she was in 2:27:03.890 --> 2:27:05.190 the store for a grand total of? 2:27:05.190 --> 2:27:06.609 30 seconds. 2:27:06.990 --> 2:27:09.750 Three minutes. Five minutes. Five minutes is the answer, yeah. 2:27:09.910 --> 2:27:12.289 Five minutes, and all this drama over a five-minute visit 2:27:12.310 --> 2:27:13.109 to a toy store. 2:27:13.170 --> 2:27:15.880 Yeah, but five minutes, but look at that bird. So 2:27:15.920 --> 2:27:19.019 does the store come out ahead, Ben, with all this advertising? 2:27:20.129 --> 2:27:22.879 Geez, I don't know. I would think it would have 2:27:22.900 --> 2:27:24.160 to be, right? Because they put them on the map. 2:27:24.200 --> 2:27:26.119 I mean, I think most people who go, maybe Kelly's 2:27:26.160 --> 2:27:27.520 a bitch. I'm going to go there and find something cool. 2:27:27.760 --> 2:27:30.420 Or will time only tell if the hassle, because you 2:27:30.440 --> 2:27:31.940 figure the fervor will die down. 2:27:32.000 --> 2:27:32.340 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 2:27:32.540 --> 2:27:36.850 But then will the ongoing awareness that they now have 2:27:36.950 --> 2:27:37.950 benefit them long term? 2:27:37.970 --> 2:27:39.270 Dude, if I was in New York, why wouldn't you 2:27:39.290 --> 2:27:39.980 drop by and check it out? 2:27:40.100 --> 2:27:40.300 Yeah. 2:27:40.379 --> 2:27:41.780 I mean, why wouldn't you? I want to see this bird. 2:27:41.820 --> 2:27:42.000 Yeah. 2:27:42.020 --> 2:27:44.300 All right, Deb, you heard it here first for us? 2:27:44.400 --> 2:27:47.830 Yeah, relief is coming to some Lake County residents.

And now we know why Diddy 2:27:54.050 --> 2:27:55.110 was hospitalized. 2:27:55.570 --> 2:27:56.490 Oh, no. 2:27:56.530 --> 2:27:59.060 We'll talk about that next during You Heard It Here First. 2:27:59.080 --> 2:28:00.100 All right, you take a little break.

All right, Deb, let's 2:31:04.100 --> 2:31:06.100 do You Heard It Here Foist. 2:31:07.970 --> 2:31:11.270 Time for You Heard It Here First on the Jim 2:31:11.290 --> 2:31:12.080 Colbert Show. 2:31:12.170 --> 2:31:15.140 Relief is coming to some Lake County residents whose lives 2:31:15.180 --> 2:31:18.060 haven't been the same since a roundabout was installed. 2:31:18.400 --> 2:31:18.879 Oh, man. 2:31:18.980 --> 2:31:21.459 The roundabout is in Mount Dora on Bay Road, and 2:31:21.500 --> 2:31:24.420 neighbors say the lights from passing cars at night light 2:31:24.480 --> 2:31:25.080 up their homes. 2:31:25.400 --> 2:31:26.439 Oh, no. 2:31:26.500 --> 2:31:29.320 That's something you don't think about, right? 2:31:29.700 --> 2:31:31.600 No way. That sucks. 2:31:31.860 --> 2:31:35.359 So that, combined with the traffic and noise... had them 2:31:35.480 --> 2:31:40.250 asking the County Commission, please do something. And commissioners voted 2:31:40.290 --> 2:31:44.349 yesterday to pay for privacy fencing at three of the homes. 2:31:44.390 --> 2:31:45.090 Damn, dude. 2:31:45.370 --> 2:31:48.750 The county will pay up to $ 10, 000 per property. 2:31:48.850 --> 2:31:50.209 That's like, right? 2:31:50.390 --> 2:31:53.910 Boy, you shouldn't tell any fence contractor that. Oh, how 2:31:53.950 --> 2:31:55.610 much is it going to be? Ten grand? 2:31:55.730 --> 2:31:56.190 Oh, yeah. 2:31:56.250 --> 2:31:56.650 Perfect. 2:31:56.830 --> 2:31:57.650 Works out great. 2:31:57.850 --> 2:32:00.970 One homeowner is grateful, but also not totally convinced this 2:32:01.010 --> 2:32:03.949 will solve the problem. He tells News 6 it'll eliminate 2:32:03.990 --> 2:32:06.310 just part of the problem. as it would take a 2:32:06.310 --> 2:32:09.910 20 foot fence to help anyone on the second floor. 2:32:09.970 --> 2:32:11.640 I know somebody who lived at a road like that, 2:32:11.670 --> 2:32:13.680 where it was a crossroad and the stop in their 2:32:13.720 --> 2:32:16.320 house was right there. And I was, I remember being 2:32:16.400 --> 2:32:19.959 over there and every three seconds, the living room just 2:32:20.020 --> 2:32:22.100 lit up. Like it was being abducted. I'd be like, 2:32:22.140 --> 2:32:24.780 how do you live here? It was their front window too. 2:32:25.120 --> 2:32:27.720 Oh no. Yeah. And you have no control over where 2:32:27.740 --> 2:32:29.400 they can do stuff. You can't put a fence up 2:32:29.420 --> 2:32:32.129 there by right across your driveway. Exactly. Insane. 2:32:32.209 --> 2:32:34.870 So they install it and then you're left with the problem. Well, 2:32:35.050 --> 2:32:37.350 if you're one of these three lucky folks, you don't 2:32:37.370 --> 2:32:39.510 have to worry about it because Central Florida has three 2:32:39.670 --> 2:32:44.350 new millionaires. The Florida Lottery announced that Orlando's May Hall, 2:32:45.090 --> 2:32:49.580 Orlando's Nathan Brown, and Ocala's Robin Vollmer were winners in June. 2:32:49.820 --> 2:32:51.740 And probably hating it that we're talking about it. 2:32:51.740 --> 2:32:52.720 You bet your ass they are. 2:32:52.980 --> 2:32:55.600 Hall was the biggest winner, taking home over $ 10 million. 2:32:55.620 --> 2:33:00.170 Damn. from 300 times the cash scratch-off game. I don't 2:33:00.250 --> 2:33:04.250 think of those scratch-off games enough. Brown took home $ 4 2:33:03.930 --> 2:33:06.610 million from the Mega Millions, and Vollmer was paid over 2:33:06.610 --> 2:33:10.960 $ 3 million from the $ 5 million triple-match scratch-off game. 2:33:11.000 --> 2:33:13.160 That's going to be one hell of a side-by-side out 2:33:13.180 --> 2:33:16.960 there in the forest. And you know it's coming. You 2:33:17.020 --> 2:33:17.599 know it's coming. 2:33:17.720 --> 2:33:21.510 And then finally, more details are emerging from Sean Diddy Combs' 2:33:21.550 --> 2:33:25.730 hospitalization over the weekend. That guy's not wrong. That talkback, right? Well, 2:33:25.750 --> 2:33:31.380 TMZ reports the entertainer suffered a severe head injury during 2:33:31.480 --> 2:33:34.680 a prison fight with a Jamaican drug lord. 2:33:35.140 --> 2:33:35.940 Oh, no way. 2:33:36.040 --> 2:33:36.320 Really? 2:33:36.379 --> 2:33:36.619 Yeah. 2:33:36.680 --> 2:33:38.140 Apparently Christopher Coke. 2:33:38.820 --> 2:33:39.780 Oh, irony. 2:33:41.260 --> 2:33:45.260 Reportedly confronted Diddy over a loss of privileges. 2:33:45.660 --> 2:33:49.680 He was the guy from Kingston, right? Christopher Coke. Yeah. Yeah, 2:33:50.020 --> 2:33:51.480 this is big time. 2:33:51.540 --> 2:33:55.100 So he lost his privileges due to an NBC News 2:33:55.140 --> 2:33:57.840 report about a posh lifestyle behind bars. 2:33:59.230 --> 2:34:00.910 Oh, so this guy was supplying Diddy with all the 2:34:00.950 --> 2:34:03.570 stuff from that? No, no, no, no. He was benefiting 2:34:03.650 --> 2:34:04.109 as well. 2:34:04.170 --> 2:34:07.070 But when news gets out about what's happening to Diddy. 2:34:07.110 --> 2:34:09.250 It blew everybody up. Everyone lost their. 2:34:09.270 --> 2:34:12.930 Everybody lost their privileges. Can you imagine? 2:34:13.770 --> 2:34:15.680 Jamaican drug lords are kind of on top of the 2:34:15.720 --> 2:34:17.820 list not to piss off. I was just about to 2:34:17.840 --> 2:34:18.520 say that, Ross. 2:34:18.540 --> 2:34:20.060 I was going to say of all the people you 2:34:20.080 --> 2:34:22.100 don't want to piss off, I would say Jamaican drug 2:34:22.140 --> 2:34:23.420 lord with the last name Cope. 2:34:23.440 --> 2:34:24.240 Yeah, that's a good one. 2:34:24.340 --> 2:34:26.160 Is someone you don't want to make mad. 2:34:26.220 --> 2:34:27.200 It's a straight up movie character. 2:34:27.660 --> 2:34:31.400 Now, both men are now serving time in solitary confinement. And, 2:34:31.420 --> 2:34:34.820 of course, Diddy's had his prison time extended because of 2:34:34.879 --> 2:34:37.640 these privileges that he's been allowed behind bars. So he's 2:34:37.680 --> 2:34:39.720 not even getting out until March when he thought it 2:34:39.760 --> 2:34:40.920 was going to be January. 2:34:41.080 --> 2:34:41.459 Damn. 2:34:41.800 --> 2:34:44.379 And you heard it here first on the Jim Colbert Show. 2:34:44.820 --> 2:34:46.260 Good job, Deb.
