WEBVTT - Ask Dr. Jesse Friday 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:05.880 Nay Jesse Kelly Show, Final hour of The Jesse Kelly 0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:10.280 Show on a wonderful Friday. All kinds of wonderful things 0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:14.200 this hour, from regifting to serious things. We're talking about 0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:18.760 Somali's sauce people, all that and so much more coming 0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:21.160 up in the final hour of The Jesse Kelly Show. 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:23.319 I wanted to touch on something quick first because I 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:29.120 brought it up yesterday just for little background. Animal Farm 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:33.760 was a book written by George Orwell. Orwell was not 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:37.800 some hardcore righty freedom fighter, by the way, but Orwell 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:42.720 also understood how truly evil and sick Soviet Communism was, 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:49.040 and he wrote Animal Farm to condemn Soviet Communism. And 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:53.320 this is all written down well documented. There's a new 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:57.200 Animal Farm movie coming out by Angel Studios. We'll get 0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:59.480 to that in a moment. There's a new Animal Farm 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:03.520 movie come out out, and they're already printing articles about 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:08.400 how they essentially flip the story on its head again, 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:14.039 completely subversive. Now, this one's an indictment of capitalism, right, 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.400 So they took something that was supposed to make communism 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:21.080 look bad and of course twisted it. Now it's supposed 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:24.160 to indict capitalism and I got this email Bronco Jesse. 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.080 I just heard you say that the new animated version 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:32.440 of Animal Farms subverts the original book and makes capitalism 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:35.520 to be evil. This blew my mind because I was 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:39.559 looking forward to seeing it because it's from Angel Studios. 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.880 Everything I've seen from them has been good, and I've 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:47.560 considered them to be trustworthy. Does this mean Angel Studios 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.320 has been infiltrated by communists? Says His name is Dave, 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:52.320 all right. 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:52.400 So. 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:58.520 I don't know if Angel Studios has been infiltrated by 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:03.120 communists yet. So let's pause for a moment. That doesn't 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:08.760 take away the fact that Angels Studios has made good, wholesome, 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:14.640 family worthy movies. Right, that's one. Here's what has happened 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:18.040 in Hollywood in recent years. Let's just talk briefly about 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:22.519 the business model, because I know you've seen this. Hollywood 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.400 was it's been left since the sixties, right, it's been left. 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:32.040 But in recent years they've gone all in on the communism. 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.000 And this is honestly in large part to all the 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:39.880 DEI efforts. If you're a normal, sane, certainly white male, 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.320 you are unhirable. So they go hire as many race 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.880 communists and women as they possibly can, and everything they 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:51.040 put out is wretched slop, with stupid female superheroes doing 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:56.240 super doing flip kits, a a tranny person in every 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.359 TV show. It's horrible. It's been horrible. Okay, you got 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:05.320 all that. Hollywood has a problem. Normal people caught onto 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:09.240 it and they don't want to go. They started gaging 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.040 up every single thing I told you about that movie. 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.480 I think it was Super Pets or DC Pets. I 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:16.760 went to like five minutes into the movie, there's two 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.440 lesbians in the park. This is a communist kids movie. 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:25.760 They can't help themselves. Everything has to be communist propaganda. 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:29.560 Coinciding with that, as people stopped going to the movies, 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:35.120 we saw the rise of what would be considered more traditional, 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.320 maybe even right wing, depending on how you wanted to 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.960 put it. Put it movies and movie studios. We'll make 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:44.600 this about kind of Christian movies. I would say ten 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:48.320 years ago Hollywood would still put out a Christian movie 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:51.520 or two. And if you're being honest with yourself, they 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:58.120 were freaking garbage, horrible movies. Why it was no budget. 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.840 There was no budget for the movie. You can't hire 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.280 great writers, you can't hire great directors. You can't hire 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.600 great actors. You go grab this guy, that guy, and 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:11.080 that guy and cobble together some motley crew and put 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:14.160 out a movie, admittedly with usually a pretty wonderful message. 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:19.239 But the movie was garbage, garbage. I know this because 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.760 I was at those movies. Ah mey. We took the 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:26.280 boys of those movies crap, total crap, and we noticed something. 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:32.400 Over the last ten years, they're getting better and better 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:37.520 and better and better. What's happening now? You got that 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.120 it's quaid in these things and stuff like that. What 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:46.840 is happening, well, something wonderful and can be terrible people, 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:50.400 even though the movies were not top quality, they want 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:54.359 to go to the movies with their kids, with their friends, 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.920 with a girlfriend, with somebody. Right. People like to go 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.480 to the movies. Certainly Americans like to go to the movies. 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.760 If every other movie in the theater is going to 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.120 be a gate up bunch of commie slop nonsense, I 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:12.279 just won't go. If you sprinkle out some movie with 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.400 a good message, I'll take the family, I'll bite the bullet, 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:19.400 I'll go. These movies started making money. They didn't cost 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:22.880 a lot to make, and they started making nice amounts 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:29.240 of money. What's the result. More money starts coming in. Now, 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:33.560 Let's say let's say I'm a Christian director and I 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:37.080 get a movie script about some wonderful story, about redemption 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.320 story someone finds Jesus. You know how it always goes well, 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:43.919 I have to go get somebody to pay me to 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.120 produce it. I have to go find people to produce it. 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.360 My pool of people is very, very small. If I'm 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.039 just trying to push out a good message. If I'm 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.719 trying to make money, my pool gets significantly larger. I 0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:00.000 go sit in front of a producer, let's call him 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.440 Jewish producer Chris. He's got a bunch of money. Doesn't 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:05.360 really agree with my movie or whatever, but you don's 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.440 to give a crap. It's about money. So I go 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:09.400 sit down in front of Chris and say, hey, Chris, 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.880 got this script, great script. I have Dennis Quaid lined up, 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.400 I have this, I have that. Look at what my 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.920 last four movies. Look at what they made, Chris, can 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.240 I have thirty forty fifty million dollars to make a movie. 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.880 Chris looks at the bottom line and says, yeah, sure, 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:29.080 I'm gonna make all my money back go ahead. But 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:33.640 with that comes a danger, and there's a lesson in 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:37.880 this for all of us, myself included very much. So 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:44.480 maybe that fifty million dollars from Chris comes with a 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:49.799 couple strings. Maybe they're even suggestions, maybe they're flat out demands. Sure, sure, 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.919 here's your fifty million dollars. Go hire Dennis Quaid. But 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.480 I have a daughter, well, actually she's my son. Now 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:02.560 she wouldn't already had the surgery. Her name's Trina. She 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:06.440 loves to write movies. She fancies herself as a movie writer. 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.520 I would like her to have final approval on the 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:13.760 script for your new Christian movie. Anyway you want my 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:19.600 fifty million dollars, Trina comes with it. Now you have 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.760 a decision to make. If you're that director, you can 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.640 make a fifty million dollar budget movie with Dennis Quaid 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.960 and movie stars, or you can go back to the 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.400 days of scrapping and scraping and try to make a 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:35.559 low budget pile of crap. I'm not at all saying 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.239 that happen with Angel Studios. I don't know the behind 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:42.760 the scenes stuff on this, but that oftentimes is how 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:50.320 not just movie studios, people businesses. They get corrupted by that, 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:56.040 and it's easy to understand the why and the how. 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:03.000 It's just it's human nature. I told you this story before. 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.800 I think I told it once because this was not 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:11.040 long ago. People you see on social media, people with 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.360 big platforms, maybe even big podcasts and stuff like that, 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:20.600 they are oftentimes paid to have a specific opinion. It's 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.120 not that they think it or believe it. They're paid 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:27.280 to have that opinion by interests of various kinds, domestic 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:31.440 and foreign interests. And because I have this national show 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.560 and I guess a big platform, I had somebody who 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.000 I know reach out to me. I read you the 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:38.560 message I'm not going to dig it up right now, 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.920 and said, hey, I represent a bunch of firms. He 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:46.440 did not say who they were. They're interested in partnering 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:52.520 with you on essentially campaigns going forward. So I would 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:55.679 come on, maybe it'd be on social media, maybe it 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.760 would be on here, and I might say something to 0:08:58.800 --> 0:08:59.520 the effect of. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:05.480 That's a really underrated place. Qatar, man, I'm a huge 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:11.000 guitar fan. That country is pretty frigging cool. You've never 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.079 heard me say a word about Katar. I don't give 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.120 a crap about Qatar. I know they fund a lot 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:19.320 of terrorism, kind of a dirtball country. But if I 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.720 said that, you would have no idea because I wouldn't 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.880 put a disclaimer on it. Yeah, Katar just wrote me 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.560 a fifty thousand dollars check to say that on the air. 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:30.600 I didn't even respond to the guy. I didn't decline 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:32.800 it and say yes, I didn't even respond. My opinions 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.520 are not for sale. I have stupid opinions for free. 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:41.800 But it tells you how easily that can happen, Right, 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:43.920 And what if it was I never asked the price, 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.360 By the way, what if it was a million dollars? 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:48.320 I don't know what they were offering. 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.600 What if it was what if it was a million dollars? Hey, Jesse, 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:56.160 a million dollars? And all we need you to say 0:09:56.280 --> 0:10:00.200 is you love Brussels sprouts. Now everybody knows I hate 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:05.400 vegetables and I hate Brussels sprouts. A million dollars, A 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:09.320 million dollars, a lot of cheddar cheese, right, million dollars, 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:15.000 first class eating steaks, fancy hotels. You see how it 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.680 can happen. It is the Jesse Kelly Show. And you 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:22.840 can't email us Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com oracle, 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.600 what are your thoughts on regifting? Last year, my brother 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.920 regifted my present to him to our cousin, so I 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:33.199 put his truck or put his truck on Jackson and 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:39.360 emptied the air and his tires. Oh all right, I'll 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:46.600 tell you something right now. Aub and I we have 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:52.800 a regifting stash. It's not that I'm okay with regifting. 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:56.720 I have in my home. I don't know where she 0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:03.439 keeps it in an entire box of stuff that can be regifted. 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:09.040 I am a regifting master. Don't shake your head, Chris. 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:11.520 I believe it is good and right. I don't want 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:15.600 to be wasteful. What's more appropriate for me to just 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.320 set it on my shelf, to collect dust or throw 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.680 it away. It's not like I open it and play 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:22.880 with it for a while and then hand it to somebody. 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:24.880 Someone else may may you have a use for it? 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:30.920 What Chris Chris said, as are we talking like a 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:32.440 birthday gift or a one off gift? 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:32.679 No? 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:36.559 No, no, for all occasions. If it's what Chris, If 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:41.840 it's a birthday, Christmas, whenever there is an occasion where 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.280 I need to give somebody a gift it's not the 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:52.680 last stop, it's the first stop, the regifting box. It's beautiful. 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:58.080 Now there is a danger, a danger, and you know 0:11:58.160 --> 0:11:59.920 exactly what the danger is. You probably already know what 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:04.040 I'm gonna say. If you forget who gave you the 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:08.640 gift and you give back to them the gift they 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:13.319 gave you, then you are exposed on a couple different levels. 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:17.160 You're exposed that you hated the gift they gave you. 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.680 You are exposed that you are a regifter. That's why 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.040 you don't want to tell anybody you're a regifter. You 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:26.640 want to make sure you keep that quiet. But the 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:31.760 closest I came to running into that was I had 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:35.560 This is after my dad died. One of my neighbors 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:38.920 I'm friends with. He he doesn't know that I don't 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:42.959 really drink much anymore, but he brought me a six 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:46.160 pack of Guinness beer. Six pack of Guinness beer. This 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:47.920 is a cool thing to do, right, It's nice. It's 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:51.200 a nice gesture. Now, I don't drink much anymore, and 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:53.959 I don't drink Guinness. I hate Guinness. It's just I've 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:55.720 never been a Guinness guy. You're a Guinness guy, Chris, 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:59.080 I don't like anyway, brings me a six pack of Guinness. 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:03.760 I don't drink Guinness, so I threw it in the 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:06.000 fridge and it's kind of left the freaking guinness there. 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:13.240 Bob throws a big party. She throws a big neighborhood party. 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:14.960 This is I think it was last year. Throws a 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.800 big neighborhood party. And we wanted to set things out, 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:19.560 so you know, there's the big bowl of fruit punch 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.079 and everything else. And then we had a cooler. It 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:24.520 was a cooler just sitting on the ground. We put 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:29.000 sodas in waters and beers in there, and we thought, well, 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.320 we have a six pack a Guinness. Maybe someone coming 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:40.200 will want a Guinness. He walks in, he notices the 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:44.120 Guinness and he's like, oh, I'm glad to see. I 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.560 wasn't sure you were a Guinness guy. I'm glad to 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.280 see that's your thing. And I said, oh, you should 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:55.000 have seen it. Chris lied stone face, lied right to 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:58.520 his face. I was like, oh, yeah, big time, big time. 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.600 I stucked up because I knew you were a Guinness 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.600 guy too. Anyway, can I get you a beer? And 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:07.680 I sat there and watched him take one of his 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:12.720 guinnesses out of the cooler, hope it wasn't bad, popped 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:18.560 the top on it, enjoyed himself. Hey Jesse. A few 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.800 days ago, my twenty four year old son Donnie, came 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.360 home for lunch with a McDonald's bag and a drink. 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.680 After looking through the bag, he angrily threw it all 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:31.520 in the trash without taking a single bite. When I 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.880 asked whether his order was wrong, he said it wasn't. However, 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:38.000 the extra sweet and sour sauce he paid for was missing. 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:40.880 When I asked why he didn't just eat the meal 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:44.440 without it, he launched into a tirade about how I 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:48.480 didn't understand the disappointment of anticipating dipping his fries and 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:52.320 nuggets in the sauce. According to him, eating the food 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:56.520 without it completely negates the experience. About thirty minutes later, 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.520 he came out of his room and said he had 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:04.440 taken into his own hands. He purchased one hundred McDonald's 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:10.120 Sweet and Sour sauces on eBay for sixty dollars. He 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:13.520 did apologize for his outburst, but he said he is 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:18.880 tired of being dismissed and disrespected as a saucer. Did 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:26.640 he overreact. I have in my fridge at home. I 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:34.680 have items like Chick fil a ranch, I have water 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:41.560 Burger Jalapeno ranch. I have an entire bottle of a 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:45.680 bottle they sold by the bottle of Popeye's Blackened Ranch. 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:50.120 And you know why I have these things because your 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:54.640 son is one hundred percent correct. The sauce in many 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:59.760 cases makes the meal. Without the sauce, the meal is 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:03.480 not worth eating. I have had to explain this before 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:07.760 to restaurants who forgot my sauce, left my sauce out, 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:09.840 and they wanted to, you know, give me a two 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:14.080 dollar refund. I said, I don't need a two dollar refund. 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:20.600 I need a refund for everything, because your ignorance of 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:25.480 my sauce, of my sauce needs ruined the entire meal. 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.880 It didn't ruin two dollars of the meal, it ruined 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.600 the entire thing. You can have the whole meal back. 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:37.360 If anything your son underreacted. It is the Jesse Kelly 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:42.720 Show on a Fantastic Friday heading into the Christmas season. 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:48.320 Before I get back to the emails, I got a situation. 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:57.840 Here's the situation. Ob she loves Trans Siberian Orchestra everyone 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.880 knows what Trans Siberian Orchestra was that or is that 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:02.040 big Christmas band? 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:02.520 Whatever. 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:05.800 She loves it, has loved it since she was a child. 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:12.680 Loves their music, loves their stuff. Now. I like concerts 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:17.879 a lot. Okay, I like concerts. I don't attend many anymore, 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:20.720 and I hate to sound like a grandpa. Let me 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:26.840 explain myself. They're too loud. My ears are now how 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:29.879 my ears and my voice are how I earn my living, 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:33.000 and concerts destroy both of them. If I try to 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:36.359 speak to people, I have to shout, and it trashes 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:40.240 my vocal chords and the music destroys your ear drums. 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.120 I know that sounds lame, and it is lame and pathetic. 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:46.320 I know. But concerts, Now, last concert we went to 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:50.040 was a Billie Jewel concert. It was in Houston, and 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.399 they had the volume turned up so loud that I 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.879 had to leave and go stand outside and leave everyone inside. 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:57.800 It was destroying my ears. I couldn't do it. I 0:17:57.920 --> 0:17:59.399 can't do it. It's how I make my living, so 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:03.959 I feed my family, all right. So that said, I 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:09.000 do like concerts, and years ago I don't remember how 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:12.280 many I took. Ob I think it was a my 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:16.560 Christmas gift to her. I bought us both Trans Siberian 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:20.960 Orchestra tickets. Not necessarily my thing, but hey, let's go 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:24.159 watch Trans Siberian Orchestra. They were I think there were 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:25.800 fifty bucks a piece or something like that. It was 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:29.760 years ago. We got a couple Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets. 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:36.760 It's so long, Chris, buddy, I think it was three 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:41.560 hours long. I know, yeah, it's long, And believe me, 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:45.000 if you're into it, it was so well done. It's 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:47.639 not like it was an amateur hour and there's a 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.200 story behind it and a new theme and stuff like that. 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:53.400 I am in no way trashing Trans Siberian Orchestra. They 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:57.639 put on a first rate show. But I got a 0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:02.480 little bored after three hours. I was zoning out. I 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:06.840 was not really into it. And apparently my body language 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:09.840 is easy to read for aub. At this point in time, 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:13.000 she could tell I wasn't into it, and she is 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:17.159 just completely captivated by the whole thing, every minute the 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:19.160 whole time. It could be twelve hours and she would 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:21.840 sit there just soaking up every bit of it. But 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:26.560 she's getting bad vibes, to use a modern term, she's 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:31.480 getting bad vibes from me. Okay. After that, she decided 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:37.160 she needed a new Trans Siberian Orchestra concert partner, and 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:41.399 she found one in Luke, our youngest son. He's into 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:45.080 a lot of that stuff that she's into. He enjoys it. 0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:47.560 It's been a tradition now for at least I think 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:54.200 five years. They will get Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets. If 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:59.600 they're anywhere nearby drivable distance, She'll get tickets just those 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:03.640 two and they'll go, which I think is really cool. 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:08.040 A father or a father, a mother's son tradition that 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:11.760 he will remember his whole life, showed treasure those memories 0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:17.760 his whole life. It's all good, right. I don't know 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:22.520 what happened. But this year, honestly, this year, it was 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:27.280 ten minutes ago. I got a text message because they 0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:29.440 have I think it's in two weeks. Two weeks. One 0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:34.760 week they have a concert again, Luke ob Trans Siberian 0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:39.000 Orchestra concert. I get a text message that says, hey, 0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:44.480 I would love for you and James to join us 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:51.280 this year. It's not just that I don't want to go. 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:57.120 It's not only that James also doesn't want to go. 0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:00.679 And if you think my body language is not the 0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:04.640 best when I'm not into something, James is one hundred 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:07.920 times worse than mine, you know, when he's into it 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:10.800 and when he's not into it, to the point when 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:13.120 he was younger. He doesn't do this anymore. But when 0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:16.000 he was younger, if we were let's say we're out 0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:18.879 at dinner, maybe it's a big family dinner, Thanksgiving or 0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:23.639 something like that, and he's bored. Eventually he gets bored, 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:26.920 he'll just like lay his head on the table as 0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:29.240 if he's going to sleep. Then I had to inform 0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:31.240 him that is bad body language. You don't do it, 0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:32.680 you know. So he doesn't do that. But that's the 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:36.199 kind of kid he is. It is Oh gosh. So 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:39.399 it's not just that I don't want to go and 0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:44.600 James doesn't want to go. It's a terrible idea for 0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:47.439 us to go three It's not just three hours, Chris. 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:51.119 She's gonna lose us both, and the body language is 0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:54.640 gonna get bad, and then she's gonna be mad we came. 0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:59.399 She's making bad decisions right now and I haven't responded yet. 0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:02.600 I'm actually telling you before I've talked to her about it. 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:06.320 I need out of it. I need an excuse. And 0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:09.640 you know what I think I'm gonna do. I think 0:22:09.640 --> 0:22:13.960 I'm gonna call in sick. I'm gonna call in sick. 0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:19.200 What Chris, What I need any Chris said, I need 0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:24.879 an excuse for two nobuddy, No, listen, James is just 0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:28.159 gonna have to go. Look, I can't save everybody in 0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:33.600 a triage situation. The point of triage is you only 0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:37.240 save who you can save, and those you can't save. 0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:41.040 You've got to let him go. There's nothing I can 0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:44.480 do for James right now. He's on his own. But 0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:49.399 he's gonna have to go enjoy the concert. Me feeling 0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:55.480 a little feverish. What Chris Cory said, What if James 0:22:55.520 --> 0:22:58.440 has beating me to the punch, I'll beat him to death. No, 0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:04.680 now this, I'm glad you brought this up. I have 0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:10.879 to get in being sick before James gets in being sick. 0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:14.800 But I can't get in too early, Like I said, 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:16.800 I don't remember when they're going. It might be two weeks, 0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:19.840 it might be a week. I can't get in too early. 0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:23.240 Otherwise I'll have to fake being sick for too many 0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:27.240 days and IB will eventually catch on when I'm sitting 0:23:27.240 --> 0:23:30.720 there eating a pizza or something like that. That won't 0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:36.359 work at all. So I think I'm gonna fake sick. 0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:39.560 I think I'm gonna fake Chris. There's no other way 0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:42.200 out of it. I've thought about it. There's no other way. 0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:45.480 It's gonna have to be a stomach ache or feverish, 0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:48.520 or it's gonna have to be something. I don't want 0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:51.400 to go to another three hour concert. I don't want 0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:53.240 to do this. I don't want to do it, Jesse. 0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:57.400 The next big election is obviously the midterms, and while 0:23:57.440 --> 0:23:59.800 that is everyone's focus, I think it's fun to look 0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:03.560 at head Traditionally VP would be the front runner for 0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:06.680 twenty twenty eight, but let's think outside the box. Who 0:24:06.720 --> 0:24:09.560 would be You're out of nowhere or under the radar 0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:13.119 primary winner for each party. You think it's someone already 0:24:13.119 --> 0:24:15.760 out there, so on and so forth. Okay, I love 0:24:15.800 --> 0:24:18.159 the show. Merry Christmas to you all your family. His 0:24:18.240 --> 0:24:20.439 name is Eric, and he said happy Hanuka to Chris. 0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:26.399 I'll tell you I'll set aside the Republican side because 0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:29.200 I think it's honestly, it's so obvious that JD. Vans 0:24:29.280 --> 0:24:32.040 is gonna run which means Marco Rubio isn't going to run. 0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:35.480 It would be interesting to see if Ron DeSantis could 0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:37.960 make more noise this time than last time. Last time 0:24:38.000 --> 0:24:40.560 he was so overshadowed by Trump. But there's not been 0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:42.399 a better governor for eight years. I mean, Ron de 0:24:42.520 --> 0:24:45.439 Santis has just killed it down there. I don't know 0:24:45.480 --> 0:24:47.240 whether that would matter in a primary. I don't know. 0:24:47.280 --> 0:24:48.639 I can't I can't see that. I haven't seen the 0:24:48.680 --> 0:24:51.439 poll numbers on the Democrat side. I brought this up 0:24:51.480 --> 0:24:56.960 a while ago, so i'll bring it up again. JB. Pritzker, JB. Pritzker, 0:24:57.000 --> 0:24:59.200 and I don't like him, Okay, so don't start throwing 0:24:59.240 --> 0:25:02.640 things at me if you're from Illinois. But JB. Pritzker, 0:25:03.720 --> 0:25:07.080 he kind of looks like your uncle. Kind of fat, 0:25:07.600 --> 0:25:11.520 but probably not too fat. Fat enough that he's relatable, 0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:13.960 but not so fat where you're thinking, jeez, buddy, have 0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:18.520 you ever gone for a walk. He is insanely wealthy, 0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:20.960 so he's going to be able to raise a ton 0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:24.359 of money. Everyone's kind of already handing the nomination to 0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:29.360 Gavin Newsom, while also allowing that AOC or someone some 0:25:29.480 --> 0:25:34.080 Bonker's nutball may come up. But if JB. Pritzker made 0:25:34.080 --> 0:25:36.360 a serious run at it, I wouldn't be surprised. He's 0:25:36.400 --> 0:25:39.399 a guy who got elected governor in Illinois, gonna have 0:25:39.440 --> 0:25:42.680
