Speaker 2: turning Japanese.
Speaker 4: I really think so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Easy, Jack.
Speaker 2: Jack, what the hell? That's worse than what he said.
Speaker 2: Is this how it's going to be today? Who's got
Speaker 2: the liquor? That's the next verse in the song. It's Friday.
Speaker 2: And Shebop is supposed to be about that as well. Shebop. Oh, really?
Speaker 4: I had no idea. But then I did not know.
Speaker 4: And only recently learned what Prince's Little Red Corvette, I think,
Speaker 4: may have been about. I really don't know.
Speaker 6: What was that? What was that?
Speaker 2: I don't know about that one either one. A couple
Speaker 2: of like double A's? Little Red Corvette? I don't know.
Speaker 4: If anyone's going to know.
Speaker 2: Little Red Corvette. It's going to be Jack Bradshaw. I
Speaker 2: have no idea. Jack doesn't know where he is right now.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get this banner off of our video.
Speaker 2: I know. I hate that.
Speaker 3: So there is a line in Little Red Corvette where
Speaker 3: he says, I got a pocket of horses.
Speaker 2: Or something like that. And it's Trojans, right? Right. And
Speaker 2: some of them used. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So this is where we're going to lean on you. 77031.
Speaker 4: Text us and let us know. What does Little Red
Speaker 4: Corvette actually mean?
Speaker 2: Now, the one song I never could figure out was
Speaker 2: Sugar Walls by Sheena Easton. Was that a real question
Speaker 2: or a joke? I don't even know. I got to
Speaker 2: tell you.
Speaker 7: Same.
Speaker 2: It's so funny. I saw.
Speaker 3: Do you guys remember the old PMRC song? Tipper Gore,
Speaker 3: Al Gore. People who do not know back in the day.
Speaker 4: That's where we got the warnings on music.
Speaker 2: Exactly.
Speaker 3: That whole PMRC, which is the parental materials. What was it, guys?
Speaker 2: Parental music advisory. PMRC. I think it's what actually sold albums. Yeah.
Speaker 2: They found, oh, it increased album sales. That's right. And
Speaker 2: they started– and today they listed– it was like– there's
Speaker 2: some anniversary of that. I think this is the day
Speaker 2: where they released the Dirty 15, which is the 15
Speaker 2: songs that they thought should never be played on the air.
Speaker 4: I mean, I remember when my parents called me into
Speaker 4: their bedroom after Blondie's Rapture.
Speaker 2: Oh, really?
Speaker 4: I'd been pulled from the radio, and they were like, so–
Speaker 4: because I'm– Rapture? One of my favorite songs of all time.
Speaker 4: It's a cool tune, but it's not even remotely controversial.
Speaker 4: Then you weren't listening closely. Because my parents said, so
Speaker 4: do you know why they pulled that song?
Speaker 2: I do not know this.
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, because they said his fingers. And my parents
Speaker 4: were like, oh, okay.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 2: You got it. What happened with the fingers? Whoa, really?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 2: I want to know what the fingers do. Where the
Speaker 2: fingers go? Jimmy, we ought to listen to lyrics. We're
Speaker 2: missing out on half our life.
Speaker 4: No, but my parents were shocked, you know, because I
Speaker 4: am standing in their bedroom saying, yeah, I know the line.
Speaker 4: This is why they pulled the song and his fingers.
Speaker 2: I am currently shocked.
Speaker 4: 24 hours shopping.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Looked at the lyrics. I see the finger lyrics.
Speaker 2: It's funny about Tipper Gore putting out these music. What
Speaker 2: I found more disturbing and offensive than the songs that
Speaker 2: they labeled was her kiss with Al Gore at the
Speaker 2: Democratic National Convention. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Did they?
Speaker 2: They went at it? They did. On stage. It was wild, dude.
Speaker 2: And I was trying to prove something because he's got
Speaker 2: that weird little femme lips going. It's like, I'm Al Gore.
Speaker 2: I'm here to just get your vote. I'm ready to
Speaker 2: just do stuff for you in America. Also, he was
Speaker 2: coming off the heels of Clinton and the whole Clinton controversy.
Speaker 2: So it's like basically saying, hey, I'm in love with
Speaker 2: my wife. My wife, right.
Speaker 4: Let me gargle her tonsils to show you how I care.
Speaker 2: I by no means have a blue dress. I don't
Speaker 2: think I've ever seen this Al Gore kiss. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't think you were alive for it yet. You
Speaker 4: may have been a toddler.
Speaker 2: It was 2000.
Speaker 1: Or 99.
Speaker 2: Okay, he was 10. This is the feeling it's going
Speaker 2: to give you. You ever see your parents really make out?
Speaker 2: We're not talking about the kiss. I'm not talking about
Speaker 2: the welcome home honey kiss. Good to see you. Then
Speaker 2: turn around and continue cooking the roast. I'm talking about
Speaker 2: she turns around and it is like we're in a bar.
Speaker 2: Four drinks deep. I mean, we're trying to figure out
Speaker 2: what we had for lunch that day. By pulling it
Speaker 2: out of your mullet.
Speaker 8: We're not kissing.
Speaker 2: We're mining. I'm trying to have a lot of PDA
Speaker 2: in front of my son. That's a good thing. I'm
Speaker 2: trying to kiss my wife in front of my son.
Speaker 2: Let the boy watch. Let the boy watch. I'm trying
Speaker 2: to show as much affection towards my wife as I can.
Speaker 2: That is one of the best things you can do
Speaker 2: for your kids, by the way.
Speaker 3: My kids, actually, if you were to ask my kids
Speaker 3: about our relationship, my wife and I's relationship, that's one
Speaker 3: of the number one things they would leave with, is
Speaker 3: we were always smacking ass and kissing and all kinds
Speaker 3: of stuff.
Speaker 2: We showed true physical attention to each other. If my
Speaker 2: son sees me kiss my wife like Al Gore kissed
Speaker 2: in this video that I just watched for the first time,
Speaker 2: he's calling the cops. That doesn't look consensual at all.
Speaker 4: You know what it also looks like, which is a
Speaker 4: really bad, a damn shame? It doesn't look like they practiced.
Speaker 6: Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: And they haven't done anything like that in a long time.
Speaker 2: That's what it was! Isn't that what it looks like?
Speaker 2: It's almost like she turned to him and said, Al,
Speaker 2: do the thing.
Speaker 4: I mean, he wanted to slip her some tongue, but
Speaker 4: she's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This
Speaker 4: has been a while. Come on.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 2: It's the ease into the slowly. And you know what
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you? Tipper Gore's not a bad-looking woman.
Speaker 2: She wasn't a bad-looking woman. I was like, good for Al.
Speaker 2: Not a bad pull. Sorry. I'm real hard into the
Speaker 2: mic there. I love this.
Speaker 4: Somebody texted us and went, damn, three already?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an odd kiss. Yeah, man. So that was
Speaker 2: kind of like a light moment, right?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: That was like a baby one of those. That was like,
Speaker 2: what 90 was that? I mean, Clinton was out of
Speaker 2: office in 94? No, no, no. Clinton started in office
Speaker 2: in 94, went to 99, Al Gore renegade. the 2000
Speaker 2: election was against george w yeah yeah that's the uh
Speaker 2: that's the hanging chad yeah the supreme court said you're
Speaker 2: president yeah yeah exactly right and what is so weird
Speaker 2: about this and what makes it this much worse looking
Speaker 2: back on this exact moment it's right when he won
Speaker 2: the nomination this is seconds into you being the democratic
Speaker 2: nominee and it is awkward And it's wild. It's weird.
Speaker 3: He's a Republican candidate proving of his male viruleness, and
Speaker 3: it's still– I mean, no, he's not a Republican.
Speaker 2: No, he's a Democrat.
Speaker 3: And he's trying to prove his virile manhood, and it backfired.
Speaker 2: It did not– I think it actually hurt him. Like,
Speaker 2: the way he kissed her kind of hurt. Yeah. It
Speaker 2: looked like it hurt. It did look like it hurt.
Speaker 4: It looked like she'd like a heads up next time.
Speaker 2: 500 Florida votes is all that cat needed. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: That's all he needed. That kiss ruined it for him. Well,
Speaker 2: you know who introduced him? Do you remember who introduced him?
Speaker 2: Was it James Carville? No, it was his college roommate. Oh,
Speaker 2: who's famous? Tommy Lee Jones.
Speaker 7: Yes. Yeah.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Wait, men in black?
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: What? They were roommates at Harvard. It gets better. You
Speaker 2: should see them make out. We are rocking Ross's world.
Speaker 2: The year 2000 was wild. Tommy Lee Jones wrote Shebop. Anyway, 407- No! Y2K, baby.
Speaker 3: Text us at 77031. We have a bunch of stuff
Speaker 3: to talk about. Ross, you did a Halloween Horror Nights preview.
Speaker 3: Was it last night?
Speaker 2: I did. In fact, I went through all 10 houses,
Speaker 2: and I'm here to tell you one quick spoiler for
Speaker 2: my 6 o'clock review.
Speaker 6: Go.
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. That's a go. Spoiler, huh?
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And that's my spoiler. Go. It's one of the best years.
Speaker 9: All right.
Speaker 2: We have a bunch of stuff to talk about today.
Speaker 3: One of the things I saw today was Netflix. God,
Speaker 3: I don't know if I want to say this because
Speaker 3: I don't want people to kind of get ahead of it.
Speaker 3: That's what sucks about, like, you know, previewing what we're
Speaker 3: going to do today is because people can hop online
Speaker 3: and see what it is.
Speaker 2: Well, then don't tell.
Speaker 7: Exactly.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say anything.
Speaker 3: Netflix made an announcement today that I think you'll be
Speaker 3: very interested in because it has a little bit to
Speaker 3: do with nostalgia.
Speaker 2: We'll leave it there.
Speaker 4: Which is a big deal, this younger generation.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw somebody earlier today on one of the
Speaker 4: local news stations talking about how their college-age daughter and
Speaker 4: her friends prefer playing with an old-school pinball machine.
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, crazy, right?
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then yesterday, you know, Dolly Parton passed away. We
Speaker 2: didn't break the news here, but it happened right before
Speaker 2: we came on the air. And, of course, we lost
Speaker 2: another legend today, Tim Curry, from Rocky Horror Picture Show fame.
Speaker 2: And let me tell you something. I've got a great
Speaker 2: Rocky Horror Picture Show story. A little bit later in
Speaker 2: the program, my sister moved down from Palatka at 17
Speaker 2: or 18 years old as well. And let me tell you,
Speaker 2: you can't put a human in a jar more than
Speaker 2: my sister. I mean, she could not be more small town.
Speaker 2: What's that? What's that? The first thing I did for
Speaker 2: her is take her to Rocky Horror.
Speaker 4: You are a cruel, cruel man.
Speaker 2: She cried.
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sure she did, dude.
Speaker 2: She was traumatized, dude. She was absolutely, she didn't know
Speaker 2: what to do.
Speaker 6: Oh, Dr.
Speaker 2: Frankenfurter. She left and prayed. So we are waiting on
Speaker 2: the third right now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we are.
Speaker 2: And who mentioned that yesterday? Was it you? No, Talkback.
Speaker 2: Talkback mentioned it yesterday? So now we have the two.
Speaker 2: Wellness check on Willie Nelson. Yeah, both 80 years old
Speaker 2: as well, right? Yeah, that was it. Yeah, there was another.
Speaker 2: Didn't you mention one as well earlier? We were talking
Speaker 2: about who would be who was next. Oh, Deb's predicting death.
Speaker 10: No, no.
Speaker 2: But we were talking about it before the show. She
Speaker 2: needs the milk bath first. Oh, King Charles. King Charles.
Speaker 11: Yes.
Speaker 12: We were discussing the fact that. Harry and Meghan moving
Speaker 12: back to the UK when being away. I mean, it
Speaker 12: was such a sudden decision. I was wondering if it
Speaker 12: has something to do with the King's health. And that's
Speaker 12: why they decided to go back into that hornet's nest.
Speaker 2: And then of all the things yesterday, this is why
Speaker 2: I brought the whole Dolly thing up again. Of all
Speaker 2: the things yesterday, at the end of the show, we
Speaker 2: do our question of the day. And again, that's why
Speaker 2: we ask you if you want to Watch us on YouTube, jimcorbertlive.com.
Speaker 2: You can go in, and we do have the question
Speaker 2: of the day is in the chat room there, right?
Speaker 2: So you can kind of get involved, get your vote
Speaker 2: in there. Yesterday, Jack put up four Dolly Parton movies.
Speaker 2: We were going to choose the favorite Dolly Parton movie, right?
Speaker 13: Yes.
Speaker 2: Nine to five, right? Steel Magnolias. Correct.
Speaker 12: Right?
Speaker 4: Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and Rhinestone.
Speaker 2: And Rhinestone. Do you know what's wild about that list?
Speaker 2: Dolly Parton did a show about talk radio and we
Speaker 2: forgot about it.
Speaker 4: I didn't know about it.
Speaker 2: There's a movie called Straight Talk that she did where
Speaker 2: she was like delivering something to a radio station and
Speaker 2: something happened and she had to get on the air
Speaker 2: and take a call and turned it into a career
Speaker 2: and we did not mention the Dolly Parton movie that
Speaker 2: deals with talk radio. It's a little more strange than
Speaker 2: that because I googled top four Dolly Parton movies and
Speaker 2: straight talk was there. I'm like, I'd never heard of that.
Speaker 2: I put, I put rhinestone cause I saw rhinestone. And
Speaker 2: it's actually a cute little movie and a little bit
Speaker 2: of an insight into the business. It's kind of cool.
Speaker 3: She kind of stumbles into the studio as a, either
Speaker 3: a side employee or somebody that's delivering something and, takes
Speaker 3: a call and uses that southern charm and becomes like
Speaker 3: a star and has to go through the whole thing
Speaker 3: of being a talk radio star.
Speaker 2: Throwing this out here, that's the same exact plot of
Speaker 2: Joe Dirt. Is it really?
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Look at that.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like a Delilah thing, Jack, right? She
Speaker 3: kind of becomes that kind of Delilah character. I didn't
Speaker 3: know this movie existed before yesterday.
Speaker 2: Joe Dirt? Someone said Hayden Panettere for the third. No,
Speaker 2: that time frame doesn't work. That was too long ago.
Speaker 2: Too long ago. But someone else said Annette Febre passed
Speaker 2: away yesterday, too? Shelly Febre, wasn't it? Shelly Febre? Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I don't think she's at that caliber. She's not.
Speaker 2: I mean, just off rip, I can tell right now. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's a Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson thing. Yeah, exactly. And
Speaker 2: you know who she was married to, right? Shelly Febre? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who?
Speaker 2: The guy from MASH, not Alan Alda. BJ Honeycutt? Yeah,
Speaker 2: the other guy. Who played him? Mike something, right? Yeah,
Speaker 2: Mike Love... Yeah, it was him. That's fine. Anyway, 407... 407...
Speaker 2: That's Bobby Brady, I think. Bobby Brady, JJ Honeycutt. What
Speaker 2: the hell are you guys? Is this an old basketball team?
Speaker 3: He played forward for the Spurs in 71, Deb News.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Americans are among the missing in Nepal after flash flooding.
Speaker 4: Where Florida stands on the meta social media settlement and
Speaker 4: on this National Dog Day, we're going to talk about
Speaker 4: the top dog breeds U.S. families are choosing in 2026.
Speaker 4: We'll talk about that and more coming up next during
Speaker 4: JCS News.
Speaker 2: You got it. Let's take a little break. We'll come
Speaker 2: back and get Deb's news and continue on with the
Speaker 2: Jim Colbert Show. So hold on loosely, but don't let go.
Speaker 15: If you squeeze too tightly, I'm going to lose control.
Speaker 2: I think we all know what that's about.
Speaker 4: I do now.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 2: Seriously? I had no idea. Are we just getting our
Speaker 2: faces blown off today with song lyrics?
Speaker 8: Don't say that.
Speaker 2: Is that what's going to happen? I have all the verbiage.
Speaker 2: Did you choose that?
Speaker 3: I don't want to know anymore. I have an idea
Speaker 3: what I want these songs to be like. I don't
Speaker 3: want the real truth. Welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show.
Speaker 3: We're already at 104.1.
Speaker 2: I'm Jim. Deb, Jack, and Ross are here as well.
Speaker 2: Speaking of Deb, she's got your news. Let's get it.
Speaker 1: It's time for JCS News.
Speaker 10: Wow.
Speaker 1: Has this guy got to put his name on everything?
Speaker 2: It's in my contract, dude.
Speaker 1: Here's the news on the Jim Colbert Show.
Speaker 4: And JCS News is brought to you by that mortgage guy, Don.
Speaker 4: At least 47 Americans are missing after flash flooding tore
Speaker 4: through valleys in Nepal and the country's northern areas. That's
Speaker 4: according to Nepal officials. Almost 100 deaths have been reported
Speaker 4: and more than 380 people are missing. Those are really,
Speaker 4: really low numbers. The floods decimated villages as they ripped
Speaker 4: through houses, roads, bridges, power plants. There's no word yet
Speaker 4: on the nationalities of the casualties.
Speaker 3: I will tell you guys, and I actually wrote this
Speaker 3: down to talk about today, the video from this flash flooding,
Speaker 3: the video from this, there's two major videos. One of
Speaker 3: the flash flood coming down this valley and the other
Speaker 3: one is the perspective of looking down on what looks
Speaker 3: to be a bus station and some other things like
Speaker 3: that from a mountaintop. It's top five natural disaster videos
Speaker 3: I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: In my life. It is horrifying. It really is. I mean,
Speaker 2: the videos are horrifying. You don't ever see you. It
Speaker 2: looks fake. It looks like something that that you were like, OK,
Speaker 2: I make the worst possible flash flood scenario for me
Speaker 2: right now and show it to me. And that's the
Speaker 2: video you get. It's that bad.
Speaker 4: It is that bad. Jack has it on our fourth
Speaker 4: screen if you're watching us on YouTube. But at one
Speaker 4: point during the videos, you literally watch this wall of
Speaker 4: water overtake a building, overtake a train station, and just
Speaker 4: push buses along the road like they're toys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 11: All right.
Speaker 4: Back stateside, actor Tim Curry has died at the age
Speaker 4: of 80. Curry is best known for his role as Dr.
Speaker 4: Frankenfurter in the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Speaker 2: I see you shiver with anticipation. Wait for it.
Speaker 4: TMZ reports Curry had been dealing with health issues for
Speaker 4: years and passed away Tuesday night. He's also known for
Speaker 4: his role as Pennywise in 1990's It. I forgot about that.
Speaker 4: And as well, the hotel clerk, Mr.
Speaker 7: Hector.
Speaker 4: And Home Alone 2 lost in New York.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's wild because when the cons were happening here
Speaker 3: earlier this summer, there's a lot of stuff on Reddit
Speaker 3: about who people met, who they thought were the greatest
Speaker 3: and the biggest D-bags. And everybody who met Tim Curry said,
Speaker 3: even in his state, he was in a wheelchair. You
Speaker 3: could barely move or talk. They said he was the
Speaker 3: most gracious guy ever. And so pleasant to have met.
Speaker 3: So that was great to read in here.
Speaker 4: He's one of those I'm going to miss as well.
Speaker 2: With Tim Curry, with all those roles that you just mentioned,
Speaker 2: it's how I met him. And it tells so much
Speaker 2: about my childhood of being obsessed with Comedy Central in
Speaker 2: the mid 90s and late 90s. It was Clue and
Speaker 2: him playing Wadsworth.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I think that is, I know I'm biased because
Speaker 2: that's like one of my first movies I understood from beginning, middle,
Speaker 2: and end.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: But that is comedic performance gold.
Speaker 4: Oh, no, it's not. No, it's not.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 4: Because Governor Ron DeSantis says, hold my beer. He paid
Speaker 4: tribute to country music icon Dolly Parton at the start
Speaker 4: of this morning's news conference at Florida International University.
Speaker 2: You're welcome. Tumbled out of bed, stumbled into the kitchen.
Speaker 16: Down that cup of ambition, and here we are, and
Speaker 16: we'll be working longer than nine to five.
Speaker 4: I think it was that ah in the background that
Speaker 4: made him go, I'm going to stop this right now.
Speaker 2: Right now. Yeah, yeah. He gave it a shot, though.
Speaker 2: He did.
Speaker 9: He did.
Speaker 1: He did.
Speaker 4: Kudos to him for that.
Speaker 2: But that person, can we play that again real fast?
Speaker 2: Just make sure you hear the person in the background go, oh, no.
Speaker 2: Here we go.
Speaker 16: Tumbled out of bed, stumbled into the kitchen. Down that
Speaker 16: cup of ambition, and here we are, and we'll be
Speaker 16: working longer than 9 to 5.
Speaker 10: Oh, he's cute.
Speaker 2: He tries. That's absolutely right. You're right, Deb. As soon
Speaker 2: as he hears that noise, he goes, I'm not going
Speaker 2: to perform anymore.
Speaker 4: Calling her an American icon and original, DeSantis also credits
Speaker 4: Parton for her quiet generosity. Dolly Parton died after a
Speaker 4: brief battle with cancer at the age of 80, although
Speaker 4: her family hasn't disclosed. what kind of cancer she was
Speaker 4: fighting from. Not only that, flags are lowered to half
Speaker 4: staff across Florida in honor of Dolly Parton. Governor DeSantis
Speaker 4: says the flags will remain lowered through sunset on September 1st.
Speaker 4: DeSantis says the U.S. and state flags will be flown
Speaker 4: at half staff at all local and state buildings, and
Speaker 4: that's following a presidential order. All right, it's now up
Speaker 4: to the governor to pick primary and general election dates
Speaker 4: to fill the seat left vacant by Hialeah State Senator
Speaker 4: Brian Avila, resigning to run alongside Republican candidate for governor
Speaker 4: Byron Donalds.
Speaker 2: Well, it would make sense to put it on the
Speaker 2: November election and it would be efficient.
Speaker 7: To do so.
Speaker 2: State law doesn't allow it. We need more time.
Speaker 4: So Berry University's Dr. Sean Foreman predicts the election will
Speaker 4: be held in early 2027 with the legislative session beginning
Speaker 4: in March. Florida is refusing to join the multi-state settlement
Speaker 4: with Meta over claims that the company's social media platforms
Speaker 4: contributed to youth addiction. Attorney General James Uthmeyer says the
Speaker 4: state rejected what he called a weak settlement and plans
Speaker 4: to pursue its case in court. The agreement would require
Speaker 4: Meta to adopt new protections for teen users and pay
Speaker 4: nearly $ 17 billion to states. While denying wrongdoing, Uthmeyer argues
Speaker 4: the settlement doesn't go far enough to address what Florida
Speaker 4: alleges were harmful, profit-driven features aimed at young users. In
Speaker 4: other technology news, Manatee County commissioners are voting against installing
Speaker 4: flock license plate reader cameras at county parks, buildings, and
Speaker 4: other public facilities. County Commissioner Bob McCann says he believes
Speaker 4: the number of cameras being installed is too much.
Speaker 2: Somebody's got to get a handle on it.
Speaker 13: Because it's like he said, you know, you don't want
Speaker 13: to go to Premier Park and, you know, have your
Speaker 13: face on a camera just because you went to a park.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got bad news for you, buddy. We're there.
Speaker 4: Residents also voiced their concern.
Speaker 2: There's just.
Speaker 6: Too much that is heading us, I believe, personally in
Speaker 6: the direction of becoming a surveillance state.
Speaker 4: Like you said, Jimmy, we're already there. Supporters of the technology,
Speaker 4: including the Sheriff's Office, say license plate readers have helped
Speaker 4: solve crimes, recover stolen vehicles, and locate missing people. The
Speaker 4: vote does not affect cameras already used by the Manatee
Speaker 4: County Sheriff's Office, but commissioners say They want higher limits
Speaker 4: on technology at county-controlled sites.
Speaker 3: And it's funny because what happens is governments will show
Speaker 3: you once they busted somebody doing something crazy. I saw
Speaker 3: a story yesterday where a guy killed this girl, set
Speaker 3: the house on fire, and then left and got on
Speaker 3: a bus and went across town and did some other stuff.
Speaker 2: And let me tell you something. There weren't two steps.
Speaker 2: This guy didn't take. They didn't have on video.
Speaker 3: This guy, from the minute he showed up on property,
Speaker 3: the minute he did the crime, the entire bus ride,
Speaker 3: when he got off the bus, where he went after
Speaker 3: the bus. Now, look, that's great, of course. But it
Speaker 3: just shows you when they're trying to prove to you, hey.
Speaker 2: We're keeping you safe. They're also showing you, hey, we
Speaker 2: know everything you're doing. Well, yeah. Every step you take.
Speaker 2: That's all.
Speaker 4: But that's been the question, right? It's not a matter
Speaker 4: of public safety. It's who the hell is flock.
Speaker 2: Right. Exactly.
Speaker 4: I mean, first time we heard the cameras were already up.
Speaker 4: Contracts had already been approved.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 4: It's our data they're selling, and it's like we've always
Speaker 4: been told. If you're not buying something, you are the product.
Speaker 2: And some people are already misusing them. Exactly.
Speaker 7: Exactly.
Speaker 4: Especially those we're told, hey, just trust them. They know
Speaker 4: what they're doing.
Speaker 2: It's every step you take and not in a romantic way.
Speaker 4: It never was romantic. That's a stalker song.
Speaker 7: It is.
Speaker 4: Parents in Orlando can get a little peace of mind
Speaker 4: thanks to a new Uber feature that's available locally. The
Speaker 4: Rideshare company is offering live video streaming for Uber teen accounts.
Speaker 4: So it allows a linked parent or guardian to peek
Speaker 4: in on a teenager's ride in real time through the
Speaker 4: front-facing camera on the driver's phone.
Speaker 7: Oh, wow.
Speaker 4: The live stream is also encrypted.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: The new feature will be available in nine markets, including
Speaker 4: here in Orlando. Uber says it hopes to expand the
Speaker 4: feature nationwide over the coming weeks.
Speaker 17: Wow, really?
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: After admitting he doesn't know the specifics... Of the case
Speaker 4: where Florida International University punished seven icebreakers for their silent protest,
Speaker 4: Governor Ron DeSantis says he supports the First Amendment.
Speaker 16: Certainly students at this university have a right to protest
Speaker 16: in favor of immigration enforcement or against immigration enforcement.
Speaker 2: That's part of what it means to... to have a
Speaker 2: First Amendment.
Speaker 4: So if you remember, the Icebreakers members stood up briefly
Speaker 4: and walked out of a school event in protest of
Speaker 4: the university cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement In issuing
Speaker 4: a preliminary injunction, a Miami federal judge has ruled FIU
Speaker 4: likely violated the students' constitutional rights. Remember, they were required
Speaker 4: to write a formal apology and also had the threat
Speaker 4: of their diplomas being withheld. And they never interrupted the proceedings.
Speaker 4: It was a silent protest. They let their T-shirts do
Speaker 4: the talking. FIU is considering its next legal move. Cannot
Speaker 4: believe I even said that. But it is complying with
Speaker 4: the judge's order. All right, a dozen lawmakers want to
Speaker 4: know why the state can't say how much money there
Speaker 4: is in an emergency fund. Twelve Democrats from the House
Speaker 4: and Senate sent a letter yesterday to Emergency Management Director
Speaker 4: Jared Perdue. The lawmakers say that his department is 40
Speaker 4: days late with a report that's supposed to reveal how
Speaker 4: much money is in the Emergency Preparedness and Response Fund. Now,
Speaker 4: in the letter, the lawmakers say they want the report
Speaker 4: and an explanation for why it's late. Orlando Democratic State
Speaker 4: Representative Anna Eskamani says, Listen, we are in the peak
Speaker 4: weeks of hurricane season, and neither chamber can say with
Speaker 4: confidence what's left in the fund. that Florida will depend
Speaker 4: on if and when a storm hits.
Speaker 2: Jack's right. Didn't we tap that fund earlier this year
Speaker 2: for other things? Wasn't that a big thing that they
Speaker 2: were kind of dipping into that fund for other services
Speaker 2: and resources?
Speaker 4: You mean like the $ 1. 2 billion for a facility that
Speaker 4: was only open for 350 days? I believe it is.
Speaker 2: That one? All right.
Speaker 4: One more story out of FIU. And speaking of emergency management,
Speaker 4: this is actually kind of cool. I guess it depends
Speaker 4: on What kind of career you see yourself going into.
Speaker 4: But the first official rollout of Florida's Coalition for Operational
Speaker 4: Readiness and Education, or CORE. Man, they love their acronyms.
Speaker 4: Is that F-I-U?
Speaker 7: We do.
Speaker 4: DeSantis says the new statewide program will connect students with
Speaker 4: careers in emergency management and disaster response.
Speaker 2: Goal.
Speaker 16: Is to create a strong workforce pipeline to be able
Speaker 16: to serve in emergency management.
Speaker 4: And what's cool is that when addressing the students earlier,
Speaker 4: he had said, listen, going back to Dolly Parton, I
Speaker 4: can tell you it is not 9 to 5 when
Speaker 4: you're in this situation.
Speaker 2: Man, he can't get it off his brain. He's got
Speaker 2: a soft spot for it.
Speaker 4: She was voted America's most popular person a couple of
Speaker 4: years ago.
Speaker 2: He should have, like, he could have worked some other
Speaker 2: movies in there, though, you know? Hey, look, this isn't
Speaker 2: covered in rhinestones. Hey, we're giving you straight talk here.
Speaker 2: We're giving you straight talk here.
Speaker 4: All right, exactly.
Speaker 2: This is on a 9 to 5 gig.
Speaker 4: Core brings together the Florida Division of Emergency Management, Higher
Speaker 4: Education Institutions, and Private Sector Partners to ensure Florida... maintains
Speaker 4: a trained workforce.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 4: Since we are in the dog days of summer, it's
Speaker 4: only fitting that today is National Dog Day.
Speaker 2: I am damp.
Speaker 4: It was created back in 2004 to raise awareness about
Speaker 4: the massive number of dogs in shelters that need adoption.
Speaker 4: And it's where we first heard the phrase, adopt, don't shop,
Speaker 4: urging people to think twice before buying puppies at pet stores.
Speaker 4: National Dog Day also recognizes the contributions service dogs make
Speaker 4: to help keep people safe. We're one month out today
Speaker 4: from our fourth annual Suds, Pups, and Pints.
Speaker 2: Yay!
Speaker 4: At beautiful Sunset Park in Mount Dora. Our upcoming guest,
Speaker 4: Daryl Payne, and his beautiful wife, Penny, have some really
Speaker 4: fun games coming up for the event this year. Before
Speaker 4: we close it out, now dogs may not be aware
Speaker 4: of what a popularity contest is, but these 10 breeds
Speaker 4: are winning one anyway. The Pet Sitter and Service Provider Rover.
Speaker 4: Have you ever used Rover?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have used Rover, actually. Oh, I've used– I
Speaker 2: used Rover all the.
Speaker 4: Time when I had Lex.
Speaker 2: What is Rover again? It's a Pet Sitter.
Speaker 17: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: And Service Provider.
Speaker 2: And they're vetted. Yeah. And we used them– we actually
Speaker 2: had Maisie and Dexter at one Pet Sitter.
Speaker 3: One dog, 135 pounds. The other dog, like 35. you know,
Speaker 3: 11 pounds and they loved it.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was great. Great experience. He had a
Speaker 2: kennel built for it. It was like his business. And he,
Speaker 2: he was great, man. A lot.
Speaker 4: I loved it too with my dog. Cause if you
Speaker 4: were going out of town and you didn't want to
Speaker 4: pay like a, you know, a borders price, you could
Speaker 4: find someone that could actually stay in their home. They'll,
Speaker 4: Come and walk your dog. It's a great service. So
Speaker 4: it's like an Airbnb for your dog?
Speaker 2: Yeah. An Airbnb for your DOG? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: So the pet sitter and service provider Rover assessed its
Speaker 4: database of millions of users submitted dogs to determine which
Speaker 4: 10 breeds are among the most popular with U.S. families
Speaker 4: in 2026. Now, I'll kick it off easy by mentioning
Speaker 4: non-designer mixed breeds. Once again, come in at number one
Speaker 4: in the rankings. Think your mutt mix is right?
Speaker 2: I mean, it's got to be French. It's a Frenchie, right?
Speaker 4: Okay, so you think Frenchie is number two?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Frenchie's up there in the top five
Speaker 2: for sure. All right. It's top five, but I think
Speaker 2: it got dethroned. Chihuahua.
Speaker 4: Okay, Ross, what would be your choice?
Speaker 2: We're not going to look into Jack's answer. I'm going
Speaker 2: to go with Golden Retriever.
Speaker 9: Yep.
Speaker 8: All right.
Speaker 2: How about Corgis?
Speaker 4: You're cute uh yeah no uh number one are the
Speaker 4: mixed breed dogs number two are labrador retrievers number three
Speaker 4: my favorite golden retrievers uh number four are golden doodles
Speaker 4: number five are german shepherds yeah yeah all right that
Speaker 4: rounds up the top five jack is right the small
Speaker 4: but feisty chihuahua chihuahua chihuahua enters the list at number
Speaker 4: six followed by your favorite jimmy The Mastiff? You love
Speaker 4: these little dogs. Oh, you talked about putting her in
Speaker 4: the dishwasher and all kinds of other lovely things.
Speaker 2: Miniature dachshunds?
Speaker 4: There you go, just dachshunds. And there comes your French Bulldog.
Speaker 2: All right, very good. Coming up after the... A great
Speaker 2: fall for the Frenchie.
Speaker 7: I know.
Speaker 4: After French Bulldogs are the Shizus, be very careful pronouncing that.
Speaker 4: And then Yorkshire Terriers to complete the top ten rankings.
Speaker 2: Wow, Yorkies and Shizus.
Speaker 7: I guess.
Speaker 4: No Bichon Frise. No Mastiffs. No Bullies. No Bully Breeds.
Speaker 2: Did Shizu pull like a rebrand? Are we talking about
Speaker 2: the same dog? Shih Tzu? Yeah, yeah. I know, I know.
Speaker 2: It's a show by Eugene Levy. Yeah, yeah. But I
Speaker 2: was just thinking, did they pull a Uranus? You know,
Speaker 2: where they're like, we're tired of it. We're tired of Snickers. Yeah,
Speaker 2: our name is Uranus now. They pulled a Filatoski. Oh,
Speaker 2: too soon. Come on. I don't even know if you
Speaker 2: can say that. All right, sure. I love when I
Speaker 2: find out where the line is. It's usually behind us. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And that concludes your JCS News.
Speaker 2: All right, 407-916-1047. I don't know what that was. Let's
Speaker 2: never tell anybody what that is. I don't know what
Speaker 2: it is. In perpetuity, just let people guess what that is.
Speaker 2: Somebody said one day, they're like, hey, what's the D
Speaker 2: to Lee thing? And I didn't even know how to respond. Like,
Speaker 2: I literally didn't even know how to respond. I'm like,
Speaker 2: a guitar solo, maybe? But it doesn't sound like it.
Speaker 2: We don't know.
Speaker 18: We don't know.
Speaker 4: We've been trying to make it sound like a guitar solo.
Speaker 2: We're 2007 this morning. It started as the guitar solo,
Speaker 2: and then I would come in and try to do
Speaker 2: the whammy bar, and then it just turned into me
Speaker 2: shouting things off the top of my head like I
Speaker 2: have Tourette's syndrome.
Speaker 4: And the last thing we sound like are guitars people
Speaker 4: refer to as the diddly-dee.
Speaker 2: And then I'd pop back up, and you're like, uh,
Speaker 2: do the bass. I was like, all right, what?
Speaker 4: And yet we make it work.
Speaker 2: You better be glad I didn't give you Timbales. I'm happy.
Speaker 2: I'm happy. Daryl Payne next.
Speaker 17: Come on, those of us who watch WKRP in Cincinnati
Speaker 17: know that Les Nesman had the correct pronunciation.
Speaker 7: Chihuahua.
Speaker 2: Chihuahua. You know what a Chihuahua is, Daryl Payne?
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, that's a gringo translation.
Speaker 2: It's your favorite dog.
Speaker 10: Oh, no.
Speaker 7: Don't tell me it's a French boy.
Speaker 2: Les Nesman. A chihuahua. A chihuahua.
Speaker 7: A chihuahua. A chihuahua.
Speaker 2: A chihuahua. A chihuahua. A chihuahua. A chihuahua. A chihuahua.
Speaker 2: A chihuahua. A chihuahua.
Speaker 3: All right, 407-916-1041, Texas 77031. Welcome back.
Speaker 2: I'm Jim. There's Deb. Hello.
Speaker 1: Jack.
Speaker 2: Yep. And Ross is here as well. I don't know
Speaker 2: who Les Nesman is. Yeah, yeah. That's fine. But I'm
Speaker 2: going to find out.
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: It's the third time we brought him up today. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you've already heard his voice. Daryl Payne joins us from
Speaker 2: Pawfection Dog Training. We'll do Animal House in the top
Speaker 2: of the hour.
Speaker 3: And if you have a dog that has a behavioral issue,
Speaker 3: maybe they've just started kind of jumping or barking or...
Speaker 3: scratching or digging holes or going to the bathroom in
Speaker 3: the house or anything like that. If you have an
Speaker 3: issue like that, hop on the line at the top
Speaker 3: of the hour, and Daryl will take those calls for
Speaker 3: free and try to give you some guidance on how
Speaker 3: you can make that animal's behavior a little better.
Speaker 2: How are you doing, by the way, Bill?
Speaker 6: Yeah, good.
Speaker 7: Happy National Dogs Day.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And we're one month away from Suds, Pups, and Pints.
Speaker 4: I know we're going to talk later on about the
Speaker 4: new games you guys have planned.
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Very nice.
Speaker 7: We're still devising them.
Speaker 2: So I tasked Daryl.
Speaker 3: I said, hey, look, when you come in for the
Speaker 3: short segment, as we introduce people to the segment and
Speaker 3: set everybody up for the 4 o'clock part of this,
Speaker 3: give us a little something we don't know about dogs.
Speaker 3: I mean, Daryl's worked with dogs at Scotland Yard 30
Speaker 3: years now, 35 years?
Speaker 7: Well, I've been training dogs 40 years, but I was
Speaker 7: a canine and a canine supervisor for 25 years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow. So you have learned a lot about dogs
Speaker 2: and what makes them tick. So let's run some stuff here,
Speaker 2: some random dog body facts.
Speaker 7: Well, we talk a lot about noses always, don't we? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7: The nose is the most primary sense. So I thought
Speaker 7: we'd have a look at the other side of things.
Speaker 7: So something I remember from my study, and actually when
Speaker 7: I was studying to be a canine, dogs have three eyelids.
Speaker 10: Whoa.
Speaker 7: There's one called a nictitating membrane. And so everyone is
Speaker 7: now looking at their dog's eyes, aren't they? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7: Grabbing their faces.
Speaker 2: Come here, you alien. Wait, is it that white thing that, like,
Speaker 2: sometimes covers up a little bit?
Speaker 7: Yeah, it comes across. And what it does is it
Speaker 7: keeps the eye lubricated, but without them blinking. So, yeah,
Speaker 7: the nictitating membrane. So, you know, everyone look at that.
Speaker 7: It's like a little shutter that comes across.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 7: Something I noticed, again, when I was handling dogs, the
Speaker 7: dogs have 18 muscles. controlling each ear.
Speaker 14: 18.
Speaker 2: Which is amazing.
Speaker 4: I had no idea that many muscles.
Speaker 6: That's the thing.
Speaker 7: If you ever watch your dog, the ears will actually
Speaker 7: move independently of each other.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I noticed that with my little one. When she
Speaker 3: hears something in the house, she'll just take that right
Speaker 3: ear and throw it up real quick. The other one's
Speaker 3: just not even doing anything. He's still having a cocktail.
Speaker 7: If you've got a dog with pointy ears, a shepherd, Malinois,
Speaker 7: something like that, You're going to see it more so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like little satellite dishes.
Speaker 7: They are. When I was working my police dog, if
Speaker 7: I called a challenge into a field or something and
Speaker 7: it all went quiet, his ears would move independently as
Speaker 7: he's scanning for noise. And then when he heard a noise,
Speaker 7: both ears would go in the same direction. So they
Speaker 7: independently scan.
Speaker 3: And they'll do that when you can't hear it because
Speaker 3: their sense of hearing is also incredible. I mean, I
Speaker 3: make little sounds and drive my dog crazy, and it's like–
Speaker 3: Like that.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not even that loud, and she picks
Speaker 2: up on it immediately. I might as well have screamed.
Speaker 2: What a good roommate. Okay. You have a treat.
Speaker 7: Bag from 300 feet away. Yeah, right. Dogs walk on
Speaker 7: their toes. Did you know that?
Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
Speaker 7: No. They're detention-grade animals. So what you think is their
Speaker 7: elbow at the back there is not. It's just called
Speaker 7: the hock. But actually what they do is, and if
Speaker 7: you look online, I think Jack's put it up on
Speaker 7: the site. If you look, they actually are walking along
Speaker 7: on their pads, which is effectively their toes.
Speaker 2: I'll be damned.
Speaker 7: So they tiptoe along.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: Through the tulips.
Speaker 2: So that first little bend there actually would be the
Speaker 2: heel of what we would consider. Yeah, exactly. I'll be damned.
Speaker 7: They have really long feet, so that's why they don't
Speaker 7: wear shoes. It's too expensive.
Speaker 19: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Their whiskers are sensory things. So a bit like cats. Cats,
Speaker 7: they use them to judge distances and stuff like that.
Speaker 7: With dogs, they have sensors on their whiskers, which tells
Speaker 7: them of anything that's getting close to their face.
Speaker 2: They can also, yeah, they feel the air move. Because
Speaker 2: I can do it with my little one. She's asleep.
Speaker 2: If I just move my hand near her and she's
Speaker 2: dead asleep, she can feel the air hit and she'll
Speaker 2: wake up because she knows something's moving.
Speaker 7: And these are all things. These are things of survival,
Speaker 7: you see.
Speaker 2: Right, right, right.
Speaker 7: So it keeps them alive in the wild before they
Speaker 7: had nice homes to live in. They would have these
Speaker 7: things which helps them keep them alive.
Speaker 2: And then the last one.
Speaker 4: He saved the best for last.
Speaker 7: My personal favorite.
Speaker 2: You've got to be careful how we do this.
Speaker 7: Dogs have a bone in their penis.
Speaker 2: Okay. Easy.
Speaker 7: An actual bone.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 7: And not only that, actually not the bone, but the
Speaker 7: penis actually inflates in a part of it.
Speaker 2: With air? No, not with air.
Speaker 7: No, it just engorges with blood inside.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 7: And what that does, it has the effect of locking
Speaker 7: the dog into the female. Now, the reason I tell
Speaker 7: you this is because what will happen is your dog
Speaker 7: will mount, say, a female. You'll panic, go rushing over
Speaker 7: there to drag them apart. And it is a really
Speaker 7: dangerous thing to do.
Speaker 20: Really?
Speaker 7: Because they're locked in like that, you can't just drag
Speaker 7: them apart because it will damage either or both of
Speaker 7: them really badly.
Speaker 8: Really?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just have to grab a cigarette and a phone.
Speaker 2: I thought you scored them with a garden hose.
Speaker 4: That's what I've always heard.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they've got to release on their own. So you've
Speaker 7: got to sort of... gently take them apart or distract
Speaker 7: them so that they stop. But you can't just pull
Speaker 7: them apart because if you do that, you can damage
Speaker 7: both of them.
Speaker 2: Just start yelling Little League Baseball, Little League Baseball.
Speaker 4: Naked Grandma, Naked Grandma.
Speaker 2: Also, why would you want to get in the name
Speaker 2: of love?
Speaker 3: I mean, if you don't want your dog to get pregnant,
Speaker 3: if you're not ready for your animal to have a litter,
Speaker 3: I mean, if you own the female part of that equation.
Speaker 2: All right, Jafar.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And you don't want that to happen. You're trying to
Speaker 2: stop that immediately.
Speaker 4: Let me tell you what. If you've never witnessed a
Speaker 4: female dog in heat and how far other males will go.
Speaker 4: It is incredible to see the amount of male dogs
Speaker 4: standing outside the gate of your house just trying to
Speaker 4: get to the female inside.
Speaker 7: And that's why it's important to fix males.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they'll travel.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I mean, the sniff of a female on heat from
Speaker 7: a mile away.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: And it will drive your male unneutered dog crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7: You know, it really does. They get very, very frustrated.
Speaker 7: You know, you're not doing them any favors by keeping
Speaker 7: them intact.
Speaker 4: Especially if you're in the city.
Speaker 17: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Well, you know, and anywhere plus so. I remember when
Speaker 7: we had my German Shepherd, he was 10 when we
Speaker 7: got our boxer, female boxer, and she had one season
Speaker 7: before we spayed her and he sort of crept up
Speaker 7: on us. And she was backing into him all the time.
Speaker 7: And he was looking all confused, like, what the hell
Speaker 7: am I supposed to do with this?
Speaker 2: She was like, hello.
Speaker 4: How you doing, big buddy?
Speaker 2: I've been to that club. I've been to that club.
Speaker 7: So, yeah, so some facts just away from the nose. But, yeah,
Speaker 7: have a look at these things. You know, you'll never
Speaker 7: look at the dog the same now. You'll be looking
Speaker 7: at their eyes, seeing them tippy-toe across the ground.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's wild because you're right. When Sadie, my little dog,
Speaker 3: was in heat, my in-laws would come over and they'd
Speaker 3: bring their dog. They have a Yorkie, right? So they're
Speaker 3: about the same size, so they could make that happen
Speaker 3: for sure. They are completely compatible that way. And you're
Speaker 3: a thousand percent right. When she's not in heat. It's
Speaker 3: like she's covered in doo-doo. When she is in heat,
Speaker 3: it's like she's made of steak. And you're right. He
Speaker 3: can't do anything about it. There's no telling him no.
Speaker 7: Someone told me the other day they had a cross
Speaker 7: between a German shepherd and a Basset hound.
Speaker 2: Oh, Lord.
Speaker 7: And the father was the Basset. Now, how does that work?
Speaker 7: I can only assume he had a stepladder.
Speaker 4: That's having a goal. My stepdad... My stepdad, actually, they
Speaker 4: had come home one day and found out one of
Speaker 4: the doors from the outside had the glass was broken,
Speaker 4: covered in blood. Turned out their male had smelled another
Speaker 4: female like another farm or two over. And even through
Speaker 4: the glass broke through the door to try and get
Speaker 4: to her.
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So, I mean, they literally get desperate when they're not fixed. Plus,
Speaker 4: they're so much more aggressive and they're more prone to cancer.
Speaker 2: That makes me think of prom.
Speaker 4: He got sprayed with a water bottle too.
Speaker 7: More importantly, let me just ask, how is the French
Speaker 7: bulldog the number one dog again. Four years running now,
Speaker 7: the number one dog, the French Bulldog.
Speaker 2: Was it?
Speaker 4: Now, according to our list on Rover, it was the
Speaker 4: mixed breed dog. Frenchies were not even in the top five.
Speaker 2: Oh, no.
Speaker 7: According to my one, it was the Frenchie again.
Speaker 2: Really?
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And they're expensive. They're expensive to own, right?
Speaker 9: Very.
Speaker 7: Yeah, because they have all these weird health issues. Well,
Speaker 7: not as bad as English Bulldogs. English Bulldogs are the
Speaker 7: veterinary liabilities.
Speaker 6: Are they?
Speaker 7: Yeah, they are horrendous.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 7: You've got to get a plan with those, but... Frenchies
Speaker 7: are just horrible. Stop getting Frenchies. They make the best
Speaker 7: online content, though. Frenchies and Huskies, by far, make the
Speaker 7: best online sassy dog. There's three things wrong with them.
Speaker 7: They're stubborn. They're French.
Speaker 4: They can't swim.
Speaker 2: And they're French.
Speaker 4: Says the Englishman.
Speaker 7: Well, the car swimming thing has got to be a bonus,
Speaker 7: I think. All right.
Speaker 2: 407-916-1041. Text us 77031.
Speaker 3: If you have a question for Daryl Payne from Pawfection

Speaker 2: Load up the phones. We'll take those calls next.
Speaker 17: Hey, guys.
Speaker 21: Happy day. Daryl, I have a question about my dogs,
Speaker 21: all of them, and every dog in existence. When you
Speaker 21: go to scratch them on the belly and they go
Speaker 21: to kicking their leg, are they enjoying that, or are
Speaker 21: they telling you to get the hell away from them?
Speaker 21: I've always wondered, and I kind of actually stopped scratching
Speaker 21: his belly if I hit that tickle spot. Do you
Speaker 21: know if they're enjoying that, or is it miserable for them?
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 7: No, they're enjoying it.
Speaker 4: That's a good question, though.
Speaker 2: Question for Daryl Payne.
Speaker 1: Uh-oh.
Speaker 15: When I let my Miniature snails are off her leash
Speaker 15: to go run back to the house.
Speaker 20: Why does she run sideways?
Speaker 7: I just had a stroke.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show. Still
Speaker 2: ready at 104.1. I am Jim, Deb, Jack, and Ross,
Speaker 2: and Daryl Payne is here as well. Let's do Animal House.
Speaker 2: She likes them fuzzy, furry, feathery, tough, and scaly.
Speaker 1: It's time for Animal House with Debra Roberts.
Speaker 4: And Animal House is generously brought to us each and
Speaker 4: every week by personal injury attorney Glenn Klausman over at
Speaker 4: Klausman Law. We'll tell you how you can get in
Speaker 4: touch with Glenn at the end of the segment, but
Speaker 4: now please join me in officially welcoming Daryl Payne of
Speaker 4: Pawfection Dog Training.
Speaker 6: Hey!
Speaker 2: He's a dog shaman.
Speaker 7: The only people that are pleased to see me, you
Speaker 7: know that.
Speaker 2: Always good seeing you, buddy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's good being here.
Speaker 3: PawfectionDogTraining.com. You can also go to their website on Facebook.
Speaker 3: We'll give you more information later down the road as well.
Speaker 3: So we have a lot of questions. I know we
Speaker 3: have someone waiting on the line.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: We have a caller and then we have some other
Speaker 2: texting as well.
Speaker 7: Okay, good.
Speaker 4: Do we want to take the caller first?
Speaker 2: Let's get right to it. What do you say? Here
Speaker 2: is Lauren. Lauren, you're on with Daryl Payne from Pawfection
Speaker 2: Dog Training. What's your question?
Speaker 19: I have a two-year-old female dog, and we just adopted
Speaker 19: a puppy who's male. And she grooms him, but she
Speaker 19: does the oddest thing where she will literally almost put
Speaker 19: her whole entire face into his mouth and, like, clean
Speaker 19: the inside of his mouth and almost, like, his throat.
Speaker 2: And he loves her. Keep talking.
Speaker 19: Is this normal?
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah i think you said is it normal yes it
Speaker 7: is yeah i mean she's she's being a mum to
Speaker 7: it um you know make the most of it enjoy
Speaker 7: that because as he gets a bit older she's going
Speaker 7: to still be a mum to him but she'll be
Speaker 7: nailing to the ground.
Speaker 22: And right yeah and beating him up and not for
Speaker 22: not behaving himself yeah but yeah she's just grooming him
Speaker 22: so she's she's the old mother instincts kicked in there
Speaker 22: and they do that she will pin him down and
Speaker 22: she'll lick his ears and clean his mouth for him
Speaker 22: and It's her natural motherly instinct, which is nice because
Speaker 22: it shows that she really likes it.
Speaker 2: It's fine, Lauren. Why are you being such a weirdo?
Speaker 19: No, because it looks so weird. It's like his mouth,
Speaker 19: he's literally almost eating her up to her ears. We've
Speaker 19: never seen that.
Speaker 1: It looks weird.
Speaker 2: I've got to tell you, I would feel the same
Speaker 2: exact way, Lauren. Thanks for your call. I appreciate it
Speaker 2: very much.
Speaker 7: It's normal, but tell your husband not for humans. It's
Speaker 7: not normal for them. You don't tell me what to
Speaker 7: do in my bedroom, buddy. Or in a restaurant.
Speaker 2: Either way. All right, 77031, if you want to text us,
Speaker 2: of course, you can always call 407-916-1041.
Speaker 4: So someone texted us to say they have an almost
Speaker 4: six-month-old male mini long-haired dachshund. He loves people and animals
Speaker 4: so much that when we walk for exercise or to
Speaker 4: do his business, everything distracts him. He'll wait to meet them,
Speaker 4: and then walking with another dog, he just wants to play,
Speaker 4: and they're noticing other owners getting annoyed. because he distracts
Speaker 4: their dogs from doing their business. How do they convince
Speaker 4: him there's a time to walk and a time to play?
Speaker 2: What a crazy question.
Speaker 21: I know.
Speaker 4: Well, they say he's super sweet and seemingly smart, 90%
Speaker 4: potty trained, so they're asking if they're the dum-dum.
Speaker 2: And how old is he? Six months?
Speaker 4: Yeah, six months old.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's still a baby. I mean, to be honest
Speaker 7: with you, walking great distances and that kind of thing
Speaker 7: and the obedience side of things really isn't important at
Speaker 7: the moment. This is the time, the first 12 months
Speaker 7: of a dog's life, and especially, you know, this is
Speaker 7: his stage. He wants to meet people. Let him meet people.
Speaker 7: Let him be made a fuss of. Let him meet
Speaker 7: the dogs you can trust, so the neighbor's dogs you know.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 7: Otherwise, he might meet the wrong dog. In all honesty,
Speaker 7: as he transitions from this, so when you want him
Speaker 7: to know the difference between the time to meet and
Speaker 7: the time not to, bring him along to our group training.
Speaker 7: That's the best thing because they get a chance to
Speaker 7: play with each other, interact, socialize. But then there's some
Speaker 7: obedience as well. So they switch on and off, and
Speaker 7: they learn, okay, this is the time to behave and
Speaker 7: to focus. This is the time to play. But at
Speaker 7: the moment, six months, while he's friendly and stuff like that,
Speaker 7: let him meet the things you trust.
Speaker 2: There you go. All right, 407-916-1041. Got a couple more
Speaker 2: callers here. Hey, Mike, how you doing? You're on with
Speaker 2: Daryl Payne from Fawfection Dog Training. Good.
Speaker 10: Hey, how you doing, Daryl?
Speaker 6: Hey, Mike.
Speaker 10: I have a new puppy. Well, it's not new, but
Speaker 10: we've had it eight months. He'll be two in October.
Speaker 10: And every time we take him out and he sees
Speaker 10: a car coming on the road, he goes and tries
Speaker 10: to chase it, either whether it's a scooter, a motorcycle,
Speaker 10: a van. He gets distracted when he's going to the
Speaker 10: bathroom and he wants to attack him. the, uh, automobile
Speaker 10: or whatever's coming by, you know, he jerks us, you know,
Speaker 10: cause he is so, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Why does his dog chase cars?
Speaker 7: Yeah. It's prey drive.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: It's the prey drive. We often see it with anything
Speaker 7: with wheels, skateboards, bikes, anything like that. Um, some dogs
Speaker 7: are worse with larger trucks, that kind of thing, or UPS, um, or.
Speaker 2: Uh, with UPS.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So those, those things make it make a bigger noise. Yeah. Um, yeah,
Speaker 7: it's the prey drive that's kicking in. If it's a
Speaker 7: dog with a naturally high prey drive. So something that's
Speaker 7: got a terrier in it, um, they tend, they tend
Speaker 7: to be worse. Um, if you give us a call,
Speaker 7: we can fix that for you. There's a couple of
Speaker 7: things we need to do. One is we need to
Speaker 7: work on the leash work for you so that, um,
Speaker 7: you don't get pulled over because with a dog that
Speaker 7: lunges suddenly, um, because their center of gravity is lower,
Speaker 7: when they suddenly take off, they can pull you straight over.
Speaker 4: Had that happened.
Speaker 7: So when you get to my age, you can break
Speaker 7: a hip on that one.
Speaker 2: So give us a call.
Speaker 7: We can switch that off for you, and then you
Speaker 7: can enjoy the walk, because also the dog can enjoy
Speaker 7: the walk, because at the moment it's hypervigilant, looking for
Speaker 7: the next thing to chase. Thanks, Mike.
Speaker 2: I appreciate your call, buddy. There you go, man. Just
Speaker 2: give them a call, and they can help you out
Speaker 2: for sure, bud. I wonder if it was just, you
Speaker 2: would think it was also would be FedEx as well, right?
Speaker 7: It's normally FedEx, Amazon, UPS. Other carriers are available.
Speaker 3: All right, 407-916-1041. Another call here. Let's go to Kyle. Kyle,
Speaker 3: how are you doing? You're on with Daryl Payne from
Speaker 3: Pulp Fiction Dog Training.
Speaker 14: Hey, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2: I love your show. Thank you, brother. Appreciate it.
Speaker 14: Daryl, I have a two-year-old chocolate lab. We rescued him
Speaker 14: from Labrador Retriever of Central Florida. And he is very
Speaker 14: shy and skittish of just about everybody except for me
Speaker 14: and my wife. And every now and then he will
Speaker 14: want to eat my other dog's feces.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 14: Is there anything I can do to stop that?
Speaker 21: Okay.
Speaker 7: Well, you've got two different things going on.
Speaker 2: For a start.
Speaker 4: That's putting it lightly.
Speaker 2: Yeah i gotta say that that that was unexpected dog
Speaker 2: i gotta tell you that is.
Speaker 7: Not exactly the last one in there by the end
Speaker 7: i didn't know that was going to end you know
Speaker 7: we just had.
Speaker 2: My answer for the first one exactly it was a
Speaker 2: two-parter we go into your call after talking to literally
Speaker 2: a pair of overalls.
Speaker 7: Yeah it's you know it's hyperactive and it steals the
Speaker 7: car um well first of all with the it's obviously
Speaker 7: hasn't had much socialization um and that's not unusual for
Speaker 7: when you get a rescue dog um so you know
Speaker 7: the best thing you can do is to start socializing
Speaker 7: it taking it out slowly to you know ever increasingly
Speaker 7: challenging areas but don't you know don't take it straight
Speaker 7: down to lake yoda or out into downtown and stuff
Speaker 7: but um socialization is is a is a good start
Speaker 7: um If you want to bring him along to our
Speaker 7: group training, come along and see us, just to visit us.
Speaker 7: So I can have a look at the dog and
Speaker 7: advise you there with what I'm seeing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7: But I think we need to start that socialization process,
Speaker 7: and I can give you a roadmap to that. In
Speaker 7: regards to the feces, that can be linked to its … Diet? Well,
Speaker 7: it can be diet. It can also be submission. If
Speaker 7: it is a very submissive dog, it can be cleaning
Speaker 7: up after the other dog, If it's diet and it
Speaker 7: depends on what you're feeding them, if there is a
Speaker 7: deficiency in the diet somewhere, it might be getting it
Speaker 7: from the other dog's poop because what one dog will
Speaker 7: excrete will contain still nutrients and stuff that that particular
Speaker 7: dog didn't need. And the other dog will pick up
Speaker 7: on that because they can basically with their noses, they
Speaker 7: can filter out everything that's in there or not in there.
Speaker 7: And he might be seeing that as a food source
Speaker 7: to supplement his diet. So It can be a submissive behavior.
Speaker 7: It can be nutritional. But if you come down and
Speaker 7: see us, I'll have a look at him. I can
Speaker 7: give you some advice going forward about socialization.
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah.
Speaker 7: And we can have a chat about that eating as well.
Speaker 2: And Kyle, just hang loose, buddy, at the end of
Speaker 2: the segment. Don't say hang loose.
Speaker 3: At the end of the segment, we'll explain how you
Speaker 3: can do that, where Daryl's going to be this weekend,
Speaker 3: where you can come up and do that very thing.
Speaker 2: All right, we have one more here. Let's go to Carolyn. Carolyn,
Speaker 2: how are you doing? You're on with Daryl Payne from
Speaker 2: Pawfection Dog Training.
Speaker 6: Oh, I just called.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're on the air, Carolyn.
Speaker 16: Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: That's okay.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I have a female pit bull.
Speaker 9: And she just, when she walks, all she does is.
Speaker 14: Her face is on the ground constantly.
Speaker 12: Like, she will not walk with her head up.
Speaker 2: Carolyn, just real quick, are you running a steam tractor
Speaker 2: right now?
Speaker 15: Oh, I'm driving a 95, but I'm not holding my phone.
Speaker 2: That's all right, you're fine.
Speaker 7: I wouldn't worry too much about it, Caroline, to be
Speaker 7: honest with you, because when her nose is on the ground,
Speaker 7: she's sniffing. And when we take a dog for a walk,
Speaker 7: we want the dog to sniff and wear itself out.
Speaker 7: Walking along with its head up right next to you
Speaker 7: the whole time really sucks as a walk for dogs.
Speaker 7: A lot of trainers are hell-bent on the dog walking
Speaker 7: next to you the whole time.
Speaker 2: Just so it looks submissive and looks like it's doing
Speaker 2: exactly what you want.
Speaker 7: And you want the dog to enjoy the walk. Now,
Speaker 7: if its nose is on the ground and it's eating
Speaker 7: fried worms or poop and stuff like that, then that
Speaker 7: would be a different matter.
Speaker 9: No, she doesn't do that.
Speaker 6: She just walks with her nose to the ground. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: That's really not that big of a deal. That's pretty common.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Thanks, darling. I appreciate that.
Speaker 7: Let her sniff. And if she's not pulling you, you know,
Speaker 7: give her some extra leash. And if she stops to sniff,
Speaker 7: you keep walking. She can catch up with you. But,
Speaker 7: you know, this is her time. When we take a
Speaker 7: dog for a walk, you know, unless we're actually doing
Speaker 7: obedience or we're somewhere where there's a lot of cars,
Speaker 7: a lot of people, and you need them next to you.
Speaker 7: Then give them some freedom.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but a walk isn't necessarily always a walk.
Speaker 7: This is their face time.
Speaker 3: When we lived in the Airbnb over there in Sanford,
Speaker 3: when we were waiting to move in here, we would
Speaker 3: take Sadie on a walk. And the walk could be
Speaker 3: just like one block because, I mean, there's so many
Speaker 3: other dogs that did that very thing. I mean, she
Speaker 3: was just having a blast, you know, snorting and sniffing
Speaker 3: every single item that she could find that other dogs
Speaker 3: had come close to.
Speaker 7: And that was like, you could see how happy she
Speaker 7: was doing it. Yeah, this is their Facebook time. They
Speaker 7: see who's been there, what's been there. They can tell,
Speaker 7: you know, they can tell the sex of a dog.
Speaker 4: You've got mail.
Speaker 7: Yeah, how dominant a dog is. So let them sniff.
Speaker 7: Too many trainers are just hell-bent on dogs walking right
Speaker 7: next to you all the time like they're doing obedience
Speaker 7: all the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, an obedience thing.
Speaker 7: You don't need to do that.
Speaker 2: All right, and you mentioned that people could come see
Speaker 2: you at your group training. Where would that be?
Speaker 7: Yeah, we are in Oviedo, Shane Kelly. We're behind the
Speaker 7: Shane Kelly Park. It's a custom-built training area that we're
Speaker 7: in partnership with the city of Oviedo. And we're there
Speaker 7: Saturday morning. We're there from 7.30 in the morning through
Speaker 7: to 11.30, 12 o'clock in the afternoon. You know, we
Speaker 7: do obedience mixed with agility. So they have fun while
Speaker 7: they're learning. They learn to switch on and off with puppies.
Speaker 7: So anything under seven months, they have a free play
Speaker 7: together and socialization time as well as obstacles, that kind
Speaker 7: of thing. You know, we do pass the puppy, you
Speaker 7: sit in a big circle and you get to meet
Speaker 7: 10 puppies. So, you know, this is what we do
Speaker 7: on a Thursday, sorry, Saturday morning or Thursday evening. We
Speaker 7: have a class at six o'clock on a Thursday evening
Speaker 7: as well. So, you know, if you want to come
Speaker 7: and see us, and even if you want to just
Speaker 7: come down and see what we do, you're more than welcome.
Speaker 7: Come and see us. And if you've got a behavioral problem, remember,
Speaker 7: we come to you because that's where the issues are.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah. And you can go to the website, pawfectiondogtraining.com.
Speaker 2: You can also visit the website, the website, or the
Speaker 2: Facebook page. The Facebook page is awesome because a lot
Speaker 2: of people that are involved with that have already had
Speaker 2: experiences with it.

Speaker 2: There's two.

Speaker 7: public page. Or Pawfection Dog Training USA members page. That's

Speaker 7: be doing some lectures very shortly with the Seminole County
Speaker 7: Animal Services. So if you're thinking about adopting a dog,
Speaker 7: we're going to run some seminars for you to ask
Speaker 7: questions and to sort of manage your expectations about getting
Speaker 7: a dog from the rescue.
Speaker 2: Right on, man.
Speaker 7: So they don't get returned.
Speaker 2: Always good to see you, man. You guys give it
Speaker 2: up for Daryl Payne.

Speaker 17: remember the name. She was on a lot of game shows.
Speaker 2: She was a bawdy, a bawdy kind of.
Speaker 2: Back in the late 70s. What I remember about her
Speaker 2: is she was always on the gong show. She was
Speaker 2: one of the three panelists on the gong show. Always, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2: Stone to kind of pump it up a little bit.
Speaker 2: And so we got a little music and production behind
Speaker 2: it now. How about that? I am honored. It only
Speaker 2: took me 25 years.

Speaker 3: We can go out there and do some stuff out
Speaker 3: and around, take the bus back over there. We're really excited.
Speaker 3: They're wonderful guys, and it is a really unique business
Speaker 3: in Orlando.
Speaker 2: It is unique.
Speaker 20: It's a homey place, and just because the name is great,
Speaker 20: I can't say it enough. The Sentinel whiskey is named
Speaker 20: Old Watchdog.
Speaker 2: Old Watchdog. All right, Scott writes for the Orlando Sentinel,
Speaker 2: like he just said, Wednesdays and Thursdays and Sundays. You
Speaker 2: can read his column.
Speaker 3: Today's was interesting as well because I've actually been reading
Speaker 3: about this a little bit. It seems to fly in
Speaker 3: the face of some national stories that we hear about,
Speaker 3: but I think it's the demo that really makes the difference, right?
Speaker 2: Right. The headline of your story today is Florida is
Speaker 2: a boom state no more. Explain, sir.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 20: And so for history, anybody who lives here knows that
Speaker 20: Florida has always been one of the fastest growing states
Speaker 20: in America ever since air conditioning was invented and citizens
Speaker 20: outlawed income taxes back in 1924. You know, people have
Speaker 20: flocked down here for mild winters and no taxes. But recently,
Speaker 20: our growth rate has dropped precipitously. In fact, last year,
Speaker 20: Florida's growth rate was less than one percent and only
Speaker 20: twice in the past century has it ever been that low.
Speaker 20: One was during the Great Recession.
Speaker 2: Once was the 1940s.
Speaker 20: So, I mean, just to put it in perspective, we're
Speaker 20: still even at one percent growing faster than most states.
Speaker 20: But this is way slower than anything Florida has had.
Speaker 20: I mean, we're now trailing like Idaho. You know, forget
Speaker 20: big states like Texas and Arizona. South Carolina and North
Speaker 20: Carolina have faster growth rates. And while some people may
Speaker 20: like this, you know, fewer cars on I-4 and we've
Speaker 20: been growing maybe a little too fast, economists and business
Speaker 20: leaders are concerned about, as you pointed out, why we've
Speaker 20: slowed down. And a big part of that is that
Speaker 20: 20-somethings are getting the hell out of this state. They
Speaker 20: might be getting their college degree here. But afterwards, they're bolting.
Speaker 20: And retirees, they're still coming. And, you know, God knows
Speaker 20: a newspaper loves retirees, right? They are our bread and butter.
Speaker 20: But God love them. Retirees don't make anything. They don't
Speaker 20: fuel an economy. They're not working 40-hour jobs. And so
Speaker 20: that's a big reason that people, including people like Rick Scott,
Speaker 20: are sounding alarms.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Of all people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is interesting because, I mean, it's just the
Speaker 3: cost of living here is so unbelievable that, you know,
Speaker 3: it's hard. I mean, you know, one of the big
Speaker 3: stories is regardless if you're moving here or just live here,
Speaker 3: the idea of buying a home with a median price near,
Speaker 3: is it near or over 400K now in Central Florida?
Speaker 2: Like 365? I haven't looked at the rates at once, but.
Speaker 2: But that's about right.
Speaker 20: And when my wife and I moved here in a
Speaker 20: nice neighborhood just outside of Maitland that you're familiar with,
Speaker 20: $ 125, 000 got you four bedrooms and a pool in a
Speaker 20: nice neighborhood. And the 20-somethings are seeing the market and
Speaker 20: knowing they can't make that happen.
Speaker 2: And you're right.
Speaker 20: It's the cost of living. Florida used to be a
Speaker 20: cheap state. Everybody could come down here and make a
Speaker 20: cheap living. But that's not the case. Jobs don't pay enough.
Speaker 20: We pay much less than other states, a median wage.
Speaker 20: As everyone knows, property insurance is high. Housing is high.
Speaker 20: MSCNBC recently named Florida one of America's 10 most expensive states.
Speaker 20: And people might say, wait, California, New York's got to
Speaker 20: be more expensive.
Speaker 2: And they are. They are more expensive.
Speaker 20: But places that are more expensive, most of those places
Speaker 20: also pay better.
Speaker 2: We don't have that.
Speaker 20: So what we are attracting, and like Rhonda Santos often say, well, look,
Speaker 20: another billionaire moved to Florida. And one of the things
Speaker 20: that the Wall Street Journal and they're the ones who've
Speaker 20: really focused on this over the past year. They've said
Speaker 20: Florida is not the state it used to be. They've said, yeah,
Speaker 20: rich people are coming, but they're not bringing their companies
Speaker 20: and they're not bringing their jobs. Mark Zuckerberg, you know,
Speaker 20: buys a house in South Florida. He didn't move Facebook
Speaker 20: down there.
Speaker 2: Bezos lives here now. He didn't he didn't bring Amazon here.
Speaker 20: Amazon's not here except for the shipping facilities. The only
Speaker 20: reason they're coming here is to dodge taxes. And one
Speaker 20: of the things that the Wall Street Journal reporters honed
Speaker 20: in is that a side effect is these wealthy people come,
Speaker 20: particularly in South Florida, and they actually drive up housing prices.
Speaker 20: So they don't bring jobs. They don't bring anything else
Speaker 20: that really creates, but they do boost the housing stock.
Speaker 20: So 20-somethings are saying, I'm heading to North Carolina where
Speaker 20: if I make $ 75, 000, I might have a chance at.
Speaker 2: Owning a house. I got to tell you real quick, Ross.
Speaker 3: I got to tell you, there's a line in this
Speaker 3: story today that was absolutely stultifying. I had no idea
Speaker 3: this was the case. Florida has fewer Fortune 500 companies
Speaker 3: than any of the other big four states. It would
Speaker 3: be Texas, New York, and California, correct?
Speaker 6: Correct.
Speaker 2: But it gets worse than that. Did you guys know this?
Speaker 2: Listen to this stat. This is crazy.
Speaker 3: Would you have bet any money that Florida has fewer
Speaker 3: Fortune 500 companies than the city of Dallas?
Speaker 2: Whoa.
Speaker 3: We have fewer Fortune 500 companies in the entire state
Speaker 3: of Florida. By the way, the fourth biggest or fifth
Speaker 3: biggest economy in the U.S., and we have fewer Fortune
Speaker 3: 500 companies than just Dallas, Texas.
Speaker 2: That's amazing, dude. Like, that is truly amazing. With all
Speaker 2: the tax breaks and subsidies, we have failed to attract
Speaker 2: the top, the headquarters of these buildings.
Speaker 20: That is exactly right, Jack. And when I say that
Speaker 20: we have fewer than the big states... It's like not
Speaker 20: even close. I looked at the number just I can't remember.
Speaker 20: But I think ours is 22. The big states are
Speaker 20: having like 56, 80 and over 100. So we're not
Speaker 20: even close. We're not even in the top 10. I
Speaker 20: last I checked for those. And it's because of what.
Speaker 2: You just said.
Speaker 20: We don't have a ready workforce. We don't have we
Speaker 20: don't have a tech community. We don't have a medical community.
Speaker 20: I mean, even places like we often talk about North Carolina.
Speaker 20: You know, there's a medical community. complex up there. We
Speaker 20: don't have that here. And so when you're not making things,
Speaker 20: you don't have a big workforce for thousands of jobs,
Speaker 20: theme parks and hotels. And the other thing that both
Speaker 20: the Wall Street Journal and I focused on is one
Speaker 20: of Florida's biggest industries is growth itself. And that's not sustainable.
Speaker 20: By that, I mean it's construction, it's development, it's strip
Speaker 20: centers and condos. That's not a sustainable industry by itself.
Speaker 20: And every time a recession hits, places like Nevada and
Speaker 20: Florida get hit way.
Speaker 2: Worse than anyone else. Scott, I think you just perfectly
Speaker 2: described the trajectory of one of the smartest people life
Speaker 2: has ever had me cross, which is my brother-in-law. He's
Speaker 2: a college graduate, smoked all of his classes, and now
Speaker 2: lives in North Carolina and has a government job as
Speaker 2: an engineer. And I asked him, I remember, I was like,
Speaker 2: why'd you leave Florida? He was like, Basically, everything you
Speaker 2: just said, didn't like it. I really enjoy over there more. And, dude,
Speaker 2: you're right. The Carolinas have seen growth. At first, it
Speaker 2: started with North Carolina. Like, that was great. But, man,
Speaker 2: South Carolina... has.
Speaker 3: Seen some exponential growth recently simply because the state is beautiful.
Speaker 2: It's accessible. It isn't overrun yet. It's affordable.
Speaker 3: Insurance is affordable. It's protected from a lot of natural
Speaker 3: disaster kind of areas.
Speaker 2: There's jobs. It's kind of crazy. Although they are still
Speaker 2: sad about losing the war. Yeah, they are.
Speaker 20: Civil war, that is. Not quite as sad as they
Speaker 20: used to be, but yeah, you're right. They are sad.
Speaker 20: And Jim, that was the state that surprised me the
Speaker 20: most was South Carolina. Because yeah, we've all heard of
Speaker 20: I think Idaho was the other one that surprised me.
Speaker 20: Idaho and South Carolina are both booming. And Ross, what
Speaker 20: you're talking about with your brother-in-law, I mean, once again,
Speaker 20: this isn't an ideological thing. It's a mathematical thing. We've
Speaker 20: talked about this before. The average salary, the average job
Speaker 20: in central Florida pays about, I think it was about
Speaker 20: $ 40, 000 a year. Well, if Jim's right, the average house
Speaker 20: is $ 400, 000 a year. The math on that don't work.
Speaker 20: It just, those two things don't. And we're talking about
Speaker 20: the median in both cases here. So there's a lot
Speaker 20: of people making a lot less, whereas people go up
Speaker 20: to North Carolina and maybe they're not living right in
Speaker 20: the heart of Charlotte, but they're living in a suburb.
Speaker 20: or they're living in a suburb of Chapel Hill or
Speaker 20: someplace that, and they can still find a house and
Speaker 20: their job's going to pay about 20 to 25% more.
Speaker 2: By the way, I was wrong. The average median house,
Speaker 2: according to homes.com in central Florida is 410 to $ 414, 000.
Speaker 2: A condo can run you 307.
Speaker 7: Damn.
Speaker 20: Now, if you, and I've, I've done this before, but
Speaker 20: if you just went to Zillow and said like, what's
Speaker 20: your average mortgage payment going to be on a $ 400, 000 house? Again,
Speaker 20: that math does not add up with a $ 40, 000 a
Speaker 20: year job.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no way you can do that.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Incredible, dude. So, like, I hate to just wrap this up.
Speaker 2: It's like, well, what do we do? I'm glad you asked, Ron.
Speaker 2: You've got to create some higher-paying jobs. You've got to
Speaker 2: create some more industry. We need to make things. We
Speaker 2: need to export things. We need to create things.
Speaker 20: I mean, this is, you know, I'd be banging on
Speaker 20: this drum forever, but, like, this is a community and
Speaker 20: a state at large that is just so happy to
Speaker 20: be tourism dependent. And if you think tourism by itself
Speaker 20: makes a good economy, you should visit Haiti.
Speaker 2: Oh, man.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 20: It's one of their biggest economic engines.
Speaker 2: And you're right.
Speaker 3: You're right 100 percent, Scott, because one of our most
Speaker 3: burgeoning tourist industries is the cruise industry. I mean, you
Speaker 3: think about how much money they're going to pour into
Speaker 3: the port over the Canaveral and how many ships go
Speaker 3: through there. But yet it's yet another job that pays low.
Speaker 3: It's these low-paying jobs, loading ships, offloading ships, cleaning ships.
Speaker 3: You know, there's like there's like maybe 20 guys on
Speaker 3: the entire ship that actually make a bunch of money.
Speaker 3: And there's only like 20 of those ships that come
Speaker 3: through there. So of all those jobs that are the
Speaker 3: cruise industry, a lot of them don't really have high
Speaker 3: paying jobs.
Speaker 12: Yes.
Speaker 20: And and there are not great benefits for a lot
Speaker 20: of the hospitality. The major ones do. But the major ones,
Speaker 20: you know, Disney only has so many hotels. A lot
Speaker 20: of the people working in this community are working at
Speaker 20: the Motel 6s and the no-name places, the Royal Palm
Speaker 20: that got created after Best Western left town.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I was just going to mention the numbers
Speaker 4: have been coming in, and tourism numbers have dropped significantly.
Speaker 2: Quite a bit, yeah.
Speaker 4: You know, quite a bit. Not drastic levels, but enough
Speaker 4: that that cash cow is starting to look like, well,
Speaker 4: maybe we shouldn't hook our wagon completely up to this.
Speaker 2: The weird thing about building industry in Florida is kind
Speaker 2: of a weird thing, right? So land here costs a
Speaker 2: lot of money.
Speaker 3: So if you're building an industry and you're going to
Speaker 3: create a factory or whatever the case may be, you know,
Speaker 3: it's hard to go in without, like Jack said, I mean–
Speaker 3: Without help from the state or some type of subsidy
Speaker 3: to find a giant plot of land in the state
Speaker 3: of Florida that isn't already scheduled for development.
Speaker 4: You mean data centers?
Speaker 3: It's got to be difficult as well. And I know
Speaker 3: that you said that there's no medical, but we are
Speaker 3: taking a shot at that. That Lake Nona area out
Speaker 3: there has become like a medical city, but it's not
Speaker 3: a complex like you're talking about built around a college
Speaker 3: city like Shands and Gainesville or any of the complexes
Speaker 3: up in North Carolina either.
Speaker 20: I still believe that one of the single best things
Speaker 20: this community did was create a medical school at UCF
Speaker 20: for exactly that reason. If you think about what the
Speaker 20: future holds, there's a lot that we're not sure about
Speaker 20: in the economy and what we're going to need. But
Speaker 20: one thing we're always going to need is medicine. And
Speaker 20: another thing we all know is technology. And the successful communities,
Speaker 20: whether they're Austin, Texas, or Raleigh, Durham, North Carolina, they've
Speaker 20: been investing in those two things. And it not only
Speaker 20: secures jobs that are always going to be there, they're
Speaker 20: jobs that pay twice, three times, four.
Speaker 2: Times as much as what we have.
Speaker 20: And keep in mind, just to put it in perspective,
Speaker 20: this is a state where the governors still celebrate the
Speaker 20: opening of Buc-ee's.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 20: We go out to ribbon cuttings out there and we
Speaker 20: get very excited about that. Meanwhile, you know, Dell or
Speaker 20: whatever is expanding a third campus outside Texas.
Speaker 2: The stuff adds up. Yeah, yeah, for sure. But have
Speaker 2: you had a beaver nugget?
Speaker 20: I have to tell you, Ross, I have actually, this
Speaker 20: is a moment of shame, I have never set foot
Speaker 20: in a Bucky.
Speaker 1: Really?
Speaker 2: You know what I'm going to tell you? It's worth
Speaker 2: the drive up there. I know people who've driven up
Speaker 2: there just to experience it, to stand in front of
Speaker 2: the wall of jerky. No, no, no. It's worth a
Speaker 2: pit stop if you are driving somewhere else. Jack, I disagree.
Speaker 2: It's worth the trip. It's not your destination. It's a
Speaker 2: destination event, Jack. It's no wah-wah.
Speaker 20: Maybe if you're on the way to one of the
Speaker 20: poker rooms.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, maybe so. It's even past that, though, I think.
Speaker 17: I know.
Speaker 2: I know where it is.
Speaker 20: Yeah, no, I'll go up there and get some jerky
Speaker 20: and some flip-flops.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. Some jerky and flip-flops. Sounds like a
Speaker 2: true Floridian. And a little laugh love sign in the kitchen.
Speaker 2: All right, you guys give it up for Scott. What
Speaker 2: do you say there?
Speaker 9: Yeah!
Speaker 2: Thursday, Sunday, right there in the pages of the Orlando Sentinel.
Speaker 2: Get your prescription. Get your subscription today at OrlandoSentinel.com. Ask
Speaker 2: your doctor about the paper. Good seeing you, buddy. It's addictive. Thanks, guys.
Speaker 20: 407-916-1041.
Speaker 2: Text us 77031. Back in one sec.
Speaker 6: Born and raised Floridian here. Now I'm up in North
Speaker 6: Carolina working for Wake Forest Health Care System.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 6: Ain't no way I'm ever moving back to Florida. North
Speaker 6: Carolina is where it's at, man. The cost of living,
Speaker 6: the mountains, the beach. not being such a red state.
Speaker 6: And there are a bunch of Floridians I know that
Speaker 6: have actually moved up here. So, yeah, the exodus from
Speaker 6: Florida is real.
Speaker 2: Yeah, both of those. Go ahead.
Speaker 7: You're good.
Speaker 18: Hey, how's it ohana? Oh, no secret to people in
Speaker 18: the Melbourne area right now. It is gnarly. The rain,
Speaker 18: the lightning. I mean, people, please slow down. Don't tailgate
Speaker 18: people and stuff like this.
Speaker 2: There's already flooded roads, people hydroplaning.
Speaker 18: And, man, just slow down.
Speaker 2: Be careful.
Speaker 18: I was just on the causeway. Big lightning bolt hit
Speaker 18: in front of me. Shook my truck. Shook me. Shook
Speaker 18: me up. It's electrifying.
Speaker 2: Aloha. Aloha, bro.
Speaker 7: Aloha.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Carolinas offer some really interesting beaches and mountains,
Speaker 3: seasonal changes. Yeah, I mean, the Blue Ridge Parkway is
Speaker 3: absolutely stunning. You know, Charlotte, great cities all around there,
Speaker 3: great food. That scene is coming alive. You know, South
Speaker 3: Carolina has Myrtle Beach, one of the best golf destinations
Speaker 3: in the entire United States of America. And that continues
Speaker 3: all the way west in that state as well. Plus
Speaker 3: affordable land, affordable housing. 407-916-1041. Text us, 77031.
Speaker 2: I'm Jim. There's Deb.
Speaker 10: Hello.
Speaker 2: Jack is here as well. And so is Ross. 14
Speaker 2: sketches this Saturday.
Speaker 3: I was about to say, speaking of Ross, this Saturday,
Speaker 3: 14 sketches is coming to the Mount Dora Music Hall,
Speaker 3: and it's going to be a damn good time.
Speaker 2: It's Joel and Ross.
Speaker 3: You guys saw these guys do their fringe show, 20 sketches.

Speaker 3: you right to the dome tonight. It's so cool. We've
Speaker 3: been in rehearsals all week. It's been going great to
Speaker 3: get the sketches back in the blood.
Speaker 2: And I'll throw this out here. I'll say this. I
Speaker 2: don't think anybody listening to this, I don't think you've
Speaker 2: seen a two-man sketch show in your life. You know
Speaker 2: why you probably have never seen a two-man live sketch
Speaker 2: show before?
Speaker 7: Why's that?
Speaker 2: It's really hard. Yeah, yeah. It's stupid hard.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to say you invented it. No,
Speaker 2: I did not invent it. That would probably be, what,
Speaker 2: Abbott and Costello? All I'm saying is that this is
Speaker 2: such a unique entertainment offering. I'm stupid proud of it,
Speaker 2: and it's such a great time. It's got like half
Speaker 2: a million likes on social media. That's likes there. I
Speaker 2: don't even know how many views. They always go viral
Speaker 2: when I post them. So now we get to do
Speaker 2: it live in Mount Dora. It's a very special night.
Speaker 2: It's funny. You said, who'd you say? Lauren Hardy? Abbott
Speaker 2: and Costello. Who was first? Lauren Hardy was first?
Speaker 4: I think so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. And then who are the other great duos?

Speaker 2: dot com. Spell it like sauce. Yes, for sure. All right.
Speaker 2: So we're going to get a break here in a second,
Speaker 2: but I want to set this up because that's what
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about when we come back.
Speaker 3: Netflix announced today some of the shows that are coming out. Actually,
Speaker 3: I've been going to the BBC. The BBC does a
Speaker 3: really good job at this. I was talking to Emily,
Speaker 3: the movie girl, just the other day. because I saw
Speaker 3: this list of movies coming out in September, and a
Speaker 3: few of them I'm super excited about. She already had
Speaker 3: them on her list to watch. They did the same
Speaker 3: thing today with television shows, right? And, Jack, did you
Speaker 3: ever see Slow Horses? I watched the first season. I
Speaker 3: enjoyed it. I have not gone back. The new season
Speaker 3: is coming out. I guess it's the third season of that.
Speaker 3: That's Gary Oldman, whom I believe is one of the best,
Speaker 3: most kind of under-mentioned stars Great actors in Hollywood.
Speaker 2: British spy show.
Speaker 6: Exactly.
Speaker 2: I read the book. Yeah, really? Is what I would...
Speaker 2: Is the title... of person that I would like to be.
Speaker 2: I did not read the book, but I wanted to. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: But that's coming out.
Speaker 3: But one of the shows I found to be quite interesting,
Speaker 3: all right? So they did this with Roseanne, all right?
Speaker 3: Remember when they brought back Roseanne, how did.
Speaker 17: They do it?
Speaker 2: Do you guys remember?
Speaker 4: It's called the Connors, right?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was called the Connors. No, but when they
Speaker 2: brought it back, it was Roseanne. Then she made the comment. Right,
Speaker 2: then they booted her and just called it the Connors.
Speaker 2: They killed her in a van accident or something. I
Speaker 2: don't know what it was.
Speaker 8: I'm joking.
Speaker 2: But the concept there was they picked up where the
Speaker 2: show left off. They didn't go back and try to
Speaker 2: reboot the show, right? Isn't that how it went? Right, yes.
Speaker 3: In other words, when they rebooted the show, you got
Speaker 3: to see where they are now.
Speaker 18: Correct.
Speaker 3: You're not going back and creating the show from the
Speaker 3: beginning with maybe new characters or something like that. Nothing
Speaker 3: like that, right? They're doing that to a show from
Speaker 3: the 90s. And the cool thing is from the show
Speaker 3: from the 90s is they're actually using a lot of
Speaker 3: the cast that was in the original show. And they're
Speaker 3: rebooting it, and it is exactly like that. They're picking
Speaker 3: up where this other show left off. And that show
Speaker 3: is right after this break.
Speaker 2: Anything that's a doodle isn't actually a breed. It's a
Speaker 2: mixed breed. So congratulations on your fancy mutt. They shouldn't
Speaker 2: also be worth that much. It's kind of crazy how
Speaker 2: much they go for. Coming in hot. Guy hates doodles.
Speaker 23: On a different note, I've recently started using the tanning bed.
Speaker 23: Just because I'm going to prank my ex-wife into thinking
Speaker 23: I've just come back From my honeymoon in the Caribbean.
Speaker 10: Why?
Speaker 2: Because it's not illegal to make her think I've gotten
Speaker 2: remarried very quickly and all of a sudden. What a
Speaker 2: weird flex. That's wild. I would nominate that as one
Speaker 2: of the weirdest talkbacks we've ever had. It is very bizarre.
Speaker 2: And he's thinking about it.
Speaker 4: Oh, no, it sounds like he's doing it.
Speaker 2: Or just go outside, brother. Get a tan. All right,
Speaker 2: welcome back. We're in Florida, buddy. It works. All right, 407-916-1041.
Speaker 2: Text us, 77031. You don't need to talk back. That's easy.
Speaker 2: Grab the iHeartRadio app. Go straight to our radio and
Speaker 2: use that mic to send your comment over to Jack.
Speaker 2: We'll get you on the air. I'm Jim, there's Deb. Hello.
Speaker 6: Jack.
Speaker 2: And Ross as well. It is true. Just checking the
Speaker 2: texting service during the break. I was wrong.
Speaker 3: They did not kill her in a van crash. I
Speaker 3: did not know this, however. Did you guys know that
Speaker 3: they made her OD on the show?
Speaker 2: Did you know that? I didn't watch it, so I
Speaker 2: just saw the texting service. That made me aware.
Speaker 7: I was not.
Speaker 4: Same here.
Speaker 3: I didn't know they did it like that. I mean,
Speaker 3: that's kind of a dirty way to write somebody off
Speaker 3: a show, right? Isn't a car crash like considerably more
Speaker 3: like a kind of random? I mean, a drug overdose,
Speaker 3: even though it's a character, you know, people are going
Speaker 3: to draw a weird line between that sometimes.
Speaker 2: Seems like a shot, doesn't it? I think it probably
Speaker 2: was a shot. It's like, hey, we just rebooted this successfully.
Speaker 2: You did what online? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But is that
Speaker 2: worse than how they killed Charlie Sheen's character in Two
Speaker 2: and a Half Men? How did they do that? I
Speaker 2: don't even know. They had a piano drop on his
Speaker 2: head when he was standing at the front door of
Speaker 2: his house. I got to tell you, I like that
Speaker 2: better than an OD. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think if you're going to be a character killed off,
Speaker 3: I mean, I think, you know, they can really make you,
Speaker 3: because you don't have a say-so anymore.
Speaker 2: You know, you're just a character.
Speaker 3: But writing you off as a drug overdose, that is
Speaker 3: a shot. Because writers have the ability to do whatever
Speaker 3: the hell they want.
Speaker 4: They do, but it could also be just that her character,
Speaker 4: once again, they were a blue-collar family facing what a
Speaker 4: lot of blue-collar families faced. And for a lot of that,
Speaker 4: that meant workplace accidents and being put on opioids as
Speaker 4: a way of dealing with that pain. So maybe it
Speaker 4: could have been a sly shot, but also a way
Speaker 4: of saying, hey– This family suffers just the way your
Speaker 4: family suffers.
Speaker 2: Interesting, yeah, yeah. I guess you could certainly look at
Speaker 2: it like that.
Speaker 3: But I think when Jack said that, you know, when
Speaker 3: they rebooted the show and then she goes online and
Speaker 3: makes a bunch of bombastic statements that really kind of
Speaker 3: embarrass the network or whatever, it leads me to believe
Speaker 3: that the only retribution they could really get against her
Speaker 3: other than get her off the show is they got
Speaker 3: to make the choice on how to write her off
Speaker 3: the program.
Speaker 2: And I think an OD is like one of the
Speaker 2: worst things. I mean, think about that. I mean, I
Speaker 2: guess you could make her a pedophile and get shot
Speaker 2: during a raid or something. There's another one of these
Speaker 2: incidents that I just recently stumbled across with comedian T.J. Miller. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2: That guy made everybody hate him quick. And he has
Speaker 2: a reputation out in Hollywood, but I'll still stand on
Speaker 2: the hill and be like, dude, put a microphone in
Speaker 2: his hand at a comedy club. He's going to destroy.
Speaker 2: With that said, him and Michael Bay. I believe did
Speaker 2: not exactly get along for the Transformers series. I heard
Speaker 2: he had some issues with Deadpool as well. Yes. Or
Speaker 2: maybe it was, it was one of the big Marvel
Speaker 2: movies is that he, but his death is just very
Speaker 2: over the top in the movie.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's kind of wild. It was Deadpool. They
Speaker 2: could have, they could have made her like have a
Speaker 2: parachuting accident. They could have done anything really.
Speaker 21: Right.
Speaker 3: You know, I mean, and they wrote her off as
Speaker 3: an OD. I think that's a shot. It feels like
Speaker 3: that to me anyway. But, I mean, Deb could be 100% right.
Speaker 3: I mean, because that would be representative of what people
Speaker 3: do deal with sometimes. You know, work injury.
Speaker 2: We know somebody. I know somebody close to me who
Speaker 2: did a situation like that. Work injury. started taking meds
Speaker 2: to maintain that, became an addict, lost everything.
Speaker 4: Well, somebody did text us at 77031. They played her
Speaker 4: as addicted to painkillers from knee pain and all of that.
Speaker 4: And they also played a little bit of political stuff
Speaker 4: in there as well.
Speaker 2: Oh, really?
Speaker 4: I didn't watch it.
Speaker 2: Double correction. It was Transformers. Was it really? Kill me, Jack.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 3: So I tease going into the break that there is
Speaker 3: a show that Netflix is rebooting, and it is going
Speaker 3: to be a show that kind of picks up where
Speaker 3: the old show left off. Now, I don't know how
Speaker 3: many people watch this. I know it was very popular
Speaker 3: because the show itself was a spinoff.
Speaker 2: Whoa. Brian and Mindy. Primarily African-American cast. Martin. The Jeffersons. Well,
Speaker 2: all of those are great guests. Martin is a great guest.
Speaker 2: More current than the Jeffersons.
Speaker 4: Cosby show?
Speaker 2: With Dr. Huxtables? What was the spinoff from that, though?
Speaker 2: Lisa Bonet, right?
Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: What was that show? I think this is the right one.
Speaker 2: I hope I have it right. Us too.
Speaker 4: Not Punky Brewster.
Speaker 8: No, no.
Speaker 2: Lisa Bonet's show after that. I don't remember what it
Speaker 2: was called. Family Matters?
Speaker 14: No.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: A Different World?
Speaker 6: Ah.
Speaker 2: Is that it? Yeah, I think it is. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: A Different World. Jada Pinkett Smith was on the show
Speaker 2: as well, right? I want to check that out.
Speaker 3: I think this is a 90s, late 90s show, maybe
Speaker 3: early 2000s. So it's A Different World, which was a
Speaker 3: spinoff of The Cosbys. And it was on the air
Speaker 3: for maybe seven or eight years or whatever. They're bringing
Speaker 3: that back, and they're just basically using some of the
Speaker 3: old cast members and kind of rebooting it. Now, look,
Speaker 3: I don't care anything about A Different World. I never
Speaker 3: was that fan of that. I wasn't really a fan
Speaker 3: of Cosby either. A Cosby show I enjoyed. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: never got.
Speaker 2: Into any of that.
Speaker 3: Really, to be honest with you, I was out of
Speaker 3: sitcom world during that time anyway, so... I'd lost my
Speaker 3: verb for sitcoms. But my question is, what show do
Speaker 3: you like that for? What show would you like to
Speaker 3: see right now that they would pick up where they
Speaker 3: left off, where the show ended, and kind of move
Speaker 3: on into a next chapter of what the characters there
Speaker 3: would have done?
Speaker 2: For me, one of the first ones was Sopranos. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I was just thinking that.
Speaker 3: Sopranos because of the way it ended. And I think
Speaker 3: that has the biggest part of it is, how do
Speaker 3: those shows end? If they end really mysteriously like Sopranos did,
Speaker 3: you wonder, what does the wife do after that? Do
Speaker 3: the kids turn into, are they targeted because they were
Speaker 3: with Soprano and his family? I mean, what would have happened?
Speaker 3: I think that would be a good show. Does the
Speaker 3: kid take over for Tony? Does he grow up in
Speaker 3: the business? Stuff like that.
Speaker 2: I think it also offers something for writers to kind
Speaker 2: of bite into. Well, I know– oh, man.
Speaker 11: Friends?
Speaker 2: Malcolm in the Middle is about to do this.
Speaker 8: Are they really?
Speaker 2: Or they just did.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: They're all grown up now.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And you see Malcolm like in a suit and tie.
Speaker 4: King of the Hill is the same thing. Now Bobby–
Speaker 4: I mean his parents are catching Bobby having sex.
Speaker 2: Oh, really? Yeah. Frankie Munoz in that one you were
Speaker 2: talking about, right?
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And he's going to be in the new show?
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: He's like a race car driver now. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I wonder if Brian, is Brian Cranston going to be
Speaker 4: part of it as well?
Speaker 2: Die. And James Merrick.
Speaker 17: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I can't imagine Cranston's doing it. That guy's like a
Speaker 2: massive star, but I guess work is work. I don't know.
Speaker 4: Plus, that was, you know.
Speaker 2: He seems like the kind of guy who would do it.
Speaker 2: He bounces around and does fun stuff. Yeah, I would
Speaker 2: kind of agree with that.
Speaker 21: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got to tell you, man, this Matthew Rhys guy,
Speaker 3: I've seen more and more interviews with him lately. I
Speaker 3: can't wait to see him in anything now. I hope
Speaker 3: they do reboot Widow's Bay and we can get a
Speaker 3: second season. I think they already committed to it. Is
Speaker 3: he going to be the Riddler in the Batman movies?
Speaker 2: No, I haven't heard that, dude. I haven't heard that
Speaker 2: at all. Yeah. Oh, he would be really good if so.
Speaker 2: Cranston's in it, by the way. The only person who's
Speaker 2: not in it is Dewey. Oh, why is he alive?
Speaker 21: No, yeah.
Speaker 4: I believe he's facing some legal problem.
Speaker 2: Oh, Dewey. Who played him? He was the little kid. Oh, really?
Speaker 2: He's got child actor problems?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think he's following up with that prophecy. I think
Speaker 2: you could do this with friends. And again, writing-wise, because
Speaker 2: they kind of paired up. You kind of visit them
Speaker 2: after the case and you have three different shows you
Speaker 2: can do or you have three different scenarios you could
Speaker 2: write for. Well, you got to get the actors on
Speaker 2: board with that. Like Full House, they did it. Right, right, right.
Speaker 2: Fuller House. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know if there's
Speaker 2: any good or any of them worth a damn.
Speaker 3: When you pick them up, I think you also have
Speaker 3: to have a show that has some vibes going out.
Speaker 2: Like, again, I don't think you could do it with Seinfeld.
Speaker 2: I mean, he would never do it again. He wouldn't
Speaker 2: do the show when he was on the air. They
Speaker 2: were going to pay him $ 5 million a season. I mean,
Speaker 2: he could. Last time we saw him, they were all
Speaker 2: in a jail cell together.
Speaker 8: Oh, really?
Speaker 4: Such a stupid ending.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't see that. I didn't see the ending
Speaker 2: of Seinfeld.
Speaker 4: What about Dexter? I mean, I know they have done
Speaker 4: a couple of reboots, but.
Speaker 2: They did reboot him. They rebooted him for an entire season.
Speaker 2: They killed him, brought him back.
Speaker 3: And they brought all the people back, like all the
Speaker 3: old people he'd killed. They made cameos as apparitions in
Speaker 3: his memory and stuff.
Speaker 2: Wait, you're not a Seinfeld guy? Not a Seinfeld guy, buddy.
Speaker 2: Are you a Friends guy? Yeah, I watched it because
Speaker 2: of my wife. Oh, is he immediately on the defense? Yeah,
Speaker 2: after it had already ended. Look, I choose to watch
Speaker 2: it now in the replays. There's a channel that plays
Speaker 2: Friends all day long. And occasionally we'll kind of tune
Speaker 2: in and watch a couple old episodes of Friends. I
Speaker 2: think the writing's good. I just never, I never, I'm
Speaker 2: not a big fan of Jerry Seinfeld. He seems like
Speaker 2: a douchebag. All right. So it's hard for me to
Speaker 2: kind of get it, to find him funny because he
Speaker 2: seems like such a dick. Texter says, I assume they're
Speaker 2: talking about Malcolm in the Middle kid. It says no
Speaker 2: legal problems. He just stopped acting. He didn't want to
Speaker 2: be in the spotlight anymore. I'll be damned.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm thinking of a different one. I think I'm
Speaker 4: thinking from Tool Time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh, Tim Allen?
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I would think that they also rebooted that, did they not?
Speaker 3: Can I say a cartoon to answer your question?
Speaker 2: I think that's even more exciting. Are you going to
Speaker 2: make fun of me, though? Yes, probably. Yeah, definitely. No
Speaker 2: matter what you say. Back in 1992, one of my
Speaker 2: favorite animated series happened, and it was my introduction to cartoon, Batman,
Speaker 2: the animated series, that just gothic art direction. I just
Speaker 2: wish I had more episodes of that. But I think
Speaker 2: they ran through all the villains.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And I just looked to the right, and actually the
Speaker 3: one that I see on the texting service is one
Speaker 3: of the first I thought of when I saw the story,
Speaker 3: and it's the X-Files. And I think now with the
Speaker 3: rebooted kind of UFO vibes that are going on right
Speaker 3: now out of the White House. I thought they're doing that.
Speaker 4: They're getting ready.
Speaker 2: Oh, I did not know that.
Speaker 4: There's an X-Files reboot. With Julian Anderson and David Duchovny? No.
Speaker 2: They're affiliated but not starring.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're not the detectives this time. They're like directors
Speaker 4: or something? They say fans of the series will love
Speaker 4: the people that are taking over for the next paranormal thing.
Speaker 2: It's weird that they don't– I guess I'm sitting here
Speaker 2: saying I'm learning that they are doing this in TV,
Speaker 2: but we've done this in the movie world so much,
Speaker 2: kind of done these reboots and re-ups of movie ideas
Speaker 2: that I was like, this is one of the first
Speaker 2: ones I remember from television, but you guys are right.
Speaker 2: There's a bunch of them out there. What was the–
Speaker 2: Star of X-Files. What was the name? Julian Anderson. David Duchovny.
Speaker 2: David Duchovny. That guy. I just saw an interview with him,
Speaker 2: and he just confessed to his co-star. He goes, hey,
Speaker 2: I just want to let you know that every phone
Speaker 2: call we ever had on the show, there was another
Speaker 2: person on the other line feeding my lines.
Speaker 17: Oh, really?
Speaker 2: And it was a big inside joke on set because
Speaker 2: she memorized every line.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And that he kind of trolled her by going, how
Speaker 2: is he so good at this? And it's because he
Speaker 2: was actually on a phone call.
Speaker 3: You know what's really unique about that show? I just
Speaker 3: saw them doing an interview. God, I'm so clueless sometimes.
Speaker 3: Maybe they were actually doing the interview because they were rebooting.
Speaker 3: Did you see the effect of the X-Files? Do you
Speaker 3: remember what happened?
Speaker 2: What happened? Do you remember, Jack? Yeah, after the.
Speaker 3: X-Files, there was a movie I saw. Yeah, there was
Speaker 3: a thing called the Scully Effect. There was a massive
Speaker 3: influx of women going into the forensic science field.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's cool.
Speaker 3: And going into those fields of investigation, joining the FBI,
Speaker 3: trying to get into the CIA, NSA, and all those fields.
Speaker 3: Women didn't really feel invited into that world anymore. Until
Speaker 3: they saw Scully. And by the way, she was only
Speaker 3: like 26 years old when she was making that show,
Speaker 3: playing like a 35-year-old. I believe she lied to the
Speaker 3: producers because she had a little bit more of a
Speaker 3: mature look to her. But she was only in her
Speaker 3: mid-20s doing that.
Speaker 2: That's the power of representation, even when it's fiction. Right, yeah, 100%.
Speaker 2: But just seeing someone do something, letting you know, oh, well,
Speaker 2: I can do that.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: There's not too much fiction when you're eight years old. Right. Exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I want to be that.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And look, what a great role model because the show
Speaker 3: was really good. I loved the X-Files. I think I
Speaker 3: watched the first three seasons and never missed an episode.
Speaker 2: Texter points out one that Deb was rooting for, but
Speaker 2: then went away again. Also connected with Dolly Parton. I
Speaker 2: learned as well, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean, and Sarah Michelle Gellar was back. You had
Speaker 4: so many of the original characters.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: And then for some reason, I guess the studio just
Speaker 4: didn't like the script. They didn't like where the characters
Speaker 4: were going. And they just shelved it. I mean, they
Speaker 4: just pulled the plug completely on that project.
Speaker 2: I think my wife would love that show as well.
Speaker 2: You think with all the different options now, whether it's– well,
Speaker 2: I guess they're all becoming one again. But there might
Speaker 2: be a studio opportunity to do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: If they're not just sitting on the rights to it.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And I would think that if you're a writer in
Speaker 3: Hollywood or you're a studio and you're considering one of
Speaker 3: these reboots, I think the– How many members of the
Speaker 3: cast being alive or relevant anymore would also come into play, right?
Speaker 2: Like somebody just typed in Cheers, which was a brilliant show.
Speaker 2: It was. It was absolutely brilliant.
Speaker 3: But I don't know that that cast, you know, you're
Speaker 3: Ted Danson.
Speaker 2: And your George went. Well, George died. Yeah, George is dead.
Speaker 2: Uncle to Jason Sudeikis. That's right. You have Kelsey Grammer
Speaker 2: still with us. You can do him. I mean, life
Speaker 2: would be great for me and an entire millennial generation
Speaker 2: if we could pick up right where I believe season
Speaker 2: five of The Office, not six or seven. I could
Speaker 2: feel a generation just feel like a weighted blanket. Yeah,
Speaker 2: when Steve Carell, I mean, that show ended without Steve
Speaker 2: Carell really being a part of it for those last
Speaker 2: two seasons, and it just felt like we were naked
Speaker 2: watching it. Like, where'd dad go? Where's the funny dad?
Speaker 4: I'm almost scared to say this one just because of
Speaker 4: how real to life it was. It was like, wait
Speaker 4: a minute, how did you guys predict this stuff was
Speaker 4: going to happen but 24?
Speaker 2: Oh, with Kiefer Sutherland?
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Remember how the episode would come out or like the
Speaker 4: week before there'd be like some catastrophe and they're like, hey, oops.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. I used to watch that all the time.
Speaker 2: Please stop that. Was it good? I think I saw
Speaker 2: one episode of that show, but I'm not a big keeper.
Speaker 2: I thought it was awesome. Yeah, it was great. And
Speaker 2: that was the one where it was real time, so
Speaker 2: an hour was an hour. Right, right, right. And so
Speaker 2: that was kind of the gimmick to it. 24 was
Speaker 2: 24 hours, right? That was the whole idea? Everything happened
Speaker 2: in one day? One day. He can't do 24, but
Speaker 2: he can do raw screaming pivot. I don't get it.
Speaker 2: He's a bookend guy. All right.
Speaker 6: 407-916-1041.
Speaker 2: Text us 77031. Back in a sec with more of
Speaker 2: the Jim Colbert Show. Stay put. We'll be right back.
Speaker 11: Calvert Crew, it's Sarah.
Speaker 8: Hello.
Speaker 11: Wow, it is raining. Anyway, I just got out of
Speaker 11: work and I heard a caller talk some crap about doodles.
Speaker 11: By the way, I have his back because I worked
Speaker 11: at two different animal clinics. I will tell you right now,
Speaker 11: doodles are absolutely dumb. Every doodle I feel like has
Speaker 11: been dropped on their head because they are not mentally there.
Speaker 11: Not even cute like an orange cat with the one
Speaker 11: brain cell. They are just dumb animals. All the skin problems,
Speaker 11: all the belly problems, all the special diet food prescription.
Speaker 6: It's awful.
Speaker 9: Aw.
Speaker 6: Damn.
Speaker 2: Come on. Good afternoon, Colbert Carew.
Speaker 24: Okay, so a show that I do believe could use
Speaker 24: some more finality and actually quite a bit of explaining
Speaker 24: still is Lost, because that whole show was weird and whack,
Speaker 24: but awesome. But, you know, speaking of being lost, Jimmy,
Speaker 24: you know if you're in the Army and you lose
Speaker 24: your rifle, they'll charge you $ 85?
Speaker 7: Here we go.
Speaker 24: But also, that explains why captains in.
Speaker 2: The Navy go down with their ship. Big T out.
Speaker 2: It would be very expensive. Yeah.
Speaker 8: I got two interesting deaths from TV. Edith Blunker on
Speaker 8: All in the Family. No idea how she got whacked.
Speaker 8: And then Adrian on the Rocky series.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Hold up for a second. Help me out
Speaker 2: on this one. All right, man. They killed off Edith
Speaker 2: during that show? They didn't, did they? I don't remember that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because she was still alive and acting, but when Archie
Speaker 2: came back, I think he was a widow. I don't
Speaker 2: know why. Yeah, that's wild. I do not remember that.
Speaker 3: My dad was a gigantic fan of All in the family,
Speaker 3: which is kind of wild.
Speaker 2: For the right reasons? Because he was Archie Bunker. I
Speaker 2: think he thought it was a bio. That's what I think.
Speaker 2: Welcome back. I'm Jim. Deb, Jack, and Ross are here
Speaker 2: as well. Don't be groundbreaking. Ross, in about 30 minutes,
Speaker 2: has a HHN, Halloween Horror Nights, preview for Ross Thoughts.
Speaker 2: I've done all the houses, and yes, Edith Bunker did die.
Speaker 2: It says that the story... It was revealed, excuse me,
Speaker 2: that Edith died off camera from a stroke. No way. See,
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that this is going to sound crazy.
Speaker 2: Season two premiere.
Speaker 3: I don't mean any disrespect for this, but, you know,
Speaker 3: if you're going to go out in a TV show
Speaker 3: and be written off the show, I think that's one
Speaker 3: of the better ways to do it, right? Like a
Speaker 3: natural kind of occurrence, whether it be heart attack or
Speaker 3: stroke or something like that. I still believe that having.
Speaker 2: The character O.D., even in the context of trying to
Speaker 2: make a statement about it, is still kind of a
Speaker 2: wild take, you know? So Gene Stapleton played Edith for
Speaker 2: nine seasons on All in the Family. They brought it.
Speaker 2: Then the show transformed into Archie Bunker's place. That's right.
Speaker 2: And she's like, I'm done. I'm done with this character.
Speaker 2: And then Carol O'Connor, who played Archie, actually dealt with
Speaker 2: some personal stuff. I guess his son had some dependency
Speaker 2: issues and was a complete nightmare his entire career. I
Speaker 2: think Carol Burnett also went through the same thing. So
Speaker 2: it was a spinoff that she got killed off. Yes.
Speaker 2: But she agreed to appear in a few of the
Speaker 2: early episodes to help that transition. Yeah. I saw she
Speaker 2: popped up on an episode of Everyone Loves Raymond. That's
Speaker 2: one that when it comes online. TV land or whatever, the,
Speaker 2: the me TV or cozy I'll watch. That was a
Speaker 2: really well-written show. Very well done. And there, I mean,
Speaker 2: really good. There is one, and this is a, I'll
Speaker 2: find it for what you do. I got to write
Speaker 2: it down. I'm going to save this one for what
Speaker 2: you do.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the other thing, too, is in that show, if
Speaker 3: you talk about legend Hollywood stuff from our era, and
Speaker 3: if you guys out there are a little bit younger
Speaker 3: and you haven't seen the movie Young Frankenstein, let me
Speaker 3: tell you, it's one of Mel Brooks' genius movies. It
Speaker 3: is so unbelievably funny, one of the most unique movies
Speaker 3: you'll ever see. It is painfully relevant still to this day.
Speaker 3: And who was the actor who played... who played Frankenstein
Speaker 3: or the monster in that movie. Oh, Peter Boyle, who
Speaker 3: was the dad in Everyone Loves Raymond. I turned into
Speaker 3: Everyone Loves Raymond the first time, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 3: that's Frankenstein. Yeah, it's kind of wild how that crew
Speaker 3: came together, but everybody on that show had game, dude.
Speaker 3: Every character was super funny. Brad Garrett was funny. Of course,
Speaker 3: Raymond's funny. The parents were funny.
Speaker 2: It was great. I got a Snapple fact about Everybody
Speaker 2: Loves Raymond. It's the title of the movie. Do you
Speaker 2: know how our title of the show, Everybody Loves Raymond,
Speaker 2: do you know how they got to that? I do
Speaker 2: not know that. I know he was like the original
Speaker 2: Nate Bargatze. Well, it's a real-life story with Raymond's real-life
Speaker 2: brother and that his brother, who's a police officer... was
Speaker 2: kind of joking around and saying that, oh, everybody loves Raymond,
Speaker 2: the comedian. Everybody loves Raymond. Raymond told Phil Rosenthal that story.
Speaker 2: He loved it so much that Phil Rosenthal told the producers,
Speaker 2: all the bigwigs, we're naming the show Everybody Loves Raymond.
Speaker 2: Raymond sees the damn title of the show and he's like, what?
Speaker 4: And his brother is a police officer in the show.
Speaker 2: In the show. And so he goes ahead and starts
Speaker 2: going like, we have to change the title. There's no
Speaker 2: way this is going to work. You can't. And in
Speaker 2: his defense, I completely get it. As a comedian, you
Speaker 2: don't want the host bringing you up as, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 2: the single greatest comedian to ever watch this show. And
Speaker 2: if you name your show, Everybody Loves Raymond. It kind
Speaker 2: of feels like you're setting yourself up for awkward failure.
Speaker 2: But his personality on the show kind of made that
Speaker 2: a joke in itself.
Speaker 1: Exactly.
Speaker 3: Because he was kind of a, not a curmudgeon, but
Speaker 3: he was kind of a whiner. A funny kind of
Speaker 3: whiner on the show.
Speaker 2: You nailed it. It's exactly why I would think Phil
Speaker 2: Rosenthal pulled the trigger on naming the show that, because
Speaker 2: everybody loves Raymond, and then you hear and see that.
Speaker 4: Guy, and you're like, yeah, no. Patricia Heaton deserves an award.
Speaker 2: But yeah, there's your little sample fact of Everybody Loves Raymond.
Speaker 2: He hated the title. That's so funny.
Speaker 3: By the way, somebody texted in earlier, what we're talking
Speaker 3: about is Netflix is rebooting A Different World, and they're
Speaker 3: basically just picking up where it left off, and we
Speaker 3: were kind of just Trying to figure out what shows
Speaker 3: you could do that with. Somebody said Married with Children,
Speaker 3: which you could do because Ed O'Neill is still with us.
Speaker 3: Katie Segal is still with us. Now, of course, the
Speaker 3: Christina Applegate thing would be weird, but I think that
Speaker 3: also could possibly be a storyline. She still acts. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Dave Faustino is still with us and stuff. So, I mean,
Speaker 3: they could actually do that program. and still kind of
Speaker 3: pick up. I don't know what they would do with it.
Speaker 3: I don't know how they'd write it. But I think
Speaker 3: that comedy would still play now. I think it went
Speaker 3: through a period where it would not play, and right
Speaker 3: now it would still play.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Because we're in the Pat McAfee world. So you can
Speaker 3: still kind of do that bro comedy, and it's still
Speaker 3: kind of, you know, it's not.
Speaker 2: Looked down on anymore.
Speaker 4: What about bringing back Taxi?
Speaker 2: Oh, man. That was such a good show. God almighty.
Speaker 2: That even jumped networks. It was so good. It wasn't
Speaker 2: getting the ratings, but someone recognized, oh, no, that's a
Speaker 2: really good show.
Speaker 3: You talk about some of the most unique characters on television.
Speaker 3: I would say also... Oh, Barney's. Barney Miller. Yeah, some
Speaker 3: other unbelievable characters. But, man, you're talking about spawning some big,
Speaker 3: big stars. Man, Taxi spawned some. You could look at
Speaker 3: all the shows and say, what show, post that show,
Speaker 3: had the most successful cast?
Speaker 2: And taxi ain't far, buddy.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean, taxi, soap, bosom buddies.
Speaker 2: Andy Kaufman went on to be an icon, a comedy legend. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: Danny DeVito, Christopher Lloyd, Judge Hirsch, Mary Lou Henner, Tony Danza,
Speaker 2: and then Kenickie, Jeff Conway. Yeah, yeah, dude. All of
Speaker 2: those guys went on to have massive careers after that.
Speaker 2: This conversation saddens me a little bit.
Speaker 7: Why's that?
Speaker 2: Because we don't do this anymore. What do you mean?
Speaker 2: We don't do this anymore. Like write shows like that? No,
Speaker 2: we do, but what we're doing right now... Talking about it?
Speaker 2: doesn't happen anymore because there's no... There's no more 80 channels. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So did you see that thing last night? No, that
Speaker 2: doesn't happen anymore. And it's weird that we have, we're
Speaker 2: so oversaturated with entertainment options and it's such a, I
Speaker 2: heard this term recently, bubble gum dystopia. I don't know
Speaker 2: what that means. Oh man, we're on its way. That's where,
Speaker 2: but it just, it, we are being, we're just being,
Speaker 2: Back in the day, it was so much more community
Speaker 2: and more of a conversation that we saw the same thing.
Speaker 2: You saw Seinfeld last night. You saw Friends last night.
Speaker 2: And just right now, I don't know if it's by
Speaker 2: design or just by money-making, capitalistic ways. That's what I'm
Speaker 2: leaning on.
Speaker 4: So bubblegum dystopia is a sci-fi concept where a corporate-ruled
Speaker 4: future is masked in bright, candy-colored, hyper-consumerist aesthetics.
Speaker 17: Yeah, bro.
Speaker 2: You mean now. I mean now. And if you want
Speaker 2: to go down a wormhole, bubblegum dystopia, and just seeing,
Speaker 2: hearing this makes me go like, God, you just don't
Speaker 2: know the good times when you're in them. People are
Speaker 2: texting Night Court. Now, they did bring that back. They did.
Speaker 2: Because he died, Harry Anderson. And also- I know I didn't.
Speaker 2: Did you mention Tony Danza? Yeah, Tony Danza. Oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: you mentioned him. You just mentioned him.
Speaker 3: Look, I'm sitting here thinking while Ross is talking. I mean,
Speaker 3: is there a cast more successful after the show ended
Speaker 3: than Taxi?
Speaker 2: I mean, look at Cheers.
Speaker 3: George Wendt had a little show that died. Cliff Clavin
Speaker 3: or John Ratzenberger did a little something, but it didn't
Speaker 3: go anywhere.
Speaker 2: Kelsey Grammer flew.
Speaker 7: I mean.
Speaker 2: David Hyde Pierce was also on that show, was he not? Well,
Speaker 2: he was on Frasier. He wasn't on Cheers. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: Frasier lasted just as long as Cheers did. I think
Speaker 2: they were both about eight seasons. Woody Harrelson from Cheers?
Speaker 4: I mean, think of the 70s and 80s show. That's
Speaker 4: the movie stars we have today is because we saw
Speaker 4: Robin Williams as Mark.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 4: You know, we if. And that was a spinoff, right?
Speaker 4: He was on Happy Days. And then he ended up
Speaker 4: getting work in Mindy.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then turned into a, I mean, you can't,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 4: I knew watching Bosom Buddies with Tom Hanks.
Speaker 18: I knew.
Speaker 4: I said, even as a child, he's going to, we're
Speaker 4: going to see it. Just like I felt the way.
Speaker 6: Really?
Speaker 4: Even like John Travolta, when you saw him in Welcome Back, Cotter,
Speaker 4: just out of all the kids in that classroom, you
Speaker 4: just knew you were going to be seeing those three guys.
Speaker 4: I knew I'm like, yeah, they're going to end up
Speaker 4: being famous.
Speaker 3: Dude, by the way, I saw Bronson Pinchot just doing
Speaker 3: a video on Instagram the other day. My man looks amazing. Like,
Speaker 3: he looks like he could be a movie star right now.
Speaker 2: I don't know what. Was he in Soap?
Speaker 7: How? Who?
Speaker 2: Bronson Pinchot?
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Booze and Buddies. Oh, that's right. He was the other guy. No,
Speaker 2: it wasn't him.
Speaker 4: No, he was.
Speaker 2: Let me look it up. No, Bronson Pinchot was Serge
Speaker 2: in the Beverly Scott movie. But he was also part
Speaker 2: of a sitcom where I believe.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: Where they like cross-dressed or something, wasn't it? No, that's
Speaker 2: Booze and Buddies. But he was in another sitcom, dude. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he was in the sitcom.
Speaker 6: You're right.
Speaker 10: Peter Scolari.
Speaker 2: Peter Scolari. He was the guy in Bosom Buddies. What
Speaker 2: was Bronson Pinchot in?
Speaker 4: Bronson Pinchot. I want to say he was in the...
Speaker 4: People used to say I look like him. By the way,
Speaker 4: he improvised a lot of that scene in the furniture
Speaker 4: store when they met the first time.
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah?
Speaker 21: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: And Eddie Murphy could barely keep it together because he
Speaker 3: wasn't expecting that wild kind of accent.
Speaker 2: And, Deb, so you were just saying, like, you kind
Speaker 2: of could pick up on, like, a star, like, oh, this...
Speaker 2: You just knew. You just knew?
Speaker 4: Just from the way that they acted. He just, from
Speaker 4: Bosom Buddies... You never remembered Peter Scolari's name, but you
Speaker 4: always remember Tom Hanks.
Speaker 2: And I ask that question is because that's another thing
Speaker 2: that I just don't think happens anymore, where someone may
Speaker 2: look at somebody and go, oh, man, stardom on its way. Instead,
Speaker 2: it gets it got replaced with, oh, I like this one.
Speaker 2: I like this channel.
Speaker 7: By the way.
Speaker 2: Perfect Strangers is a TV show with Bronson Pinchot.
Speaker 4: I could see where you look a lot like him.
Speaker 2: Like, have you done that recently, Deb? Have you seen
Speaker 2: someone in the making that you were like in the
Speaker 2: last five years that you're like, oh, total. This is
Speaker 2: buckle up.
Speaker 4: The last time I saw that would have been Buffy.
Speaker 4: Because you had David Boreanaz, who came out of that,
Speaker 4: and then he ended up having his own spinoff series.
Speaker 8: Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: You had Seth Green. I remember Seth Green doing Kodak commercials.
Speaker 4: Do you guys remember the disposable cameras?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember.
Speaker 4: I remember seeing the commercial and going, that kid we're
Speaker 4: going to see somewhere else.
Speaker 3: So what's the show– if Taxi's one of those, what's
Speaker 3: the show that has the most success and then nobody
Speaker 3: did anything after it?
Speaker 2: I mean– First of all, I would say SNL, but
Speaker 2: I don't think that counts. No, it doesn't count because
Speaker 2: that's a rotating cast.
Speaker 3: Even with Married with Children, Katie Segal went on to
Speaker 3: have a massive career.
Speaker 2: Ed O'Neill did. Yeah, Ed O'Neill as well.
Speaker 4: I mean, none of the stars, I mean, outside of
Speaker 4: the Scream franchise, but that was filmed during.
Speaker 2: It took a while, but they finally all kind of
Speaker 2: took off. I mean, they've all been working steady.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I can't name any of their projects that
Speaker 4: they're working on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Schwimmer, I think he's the one who did the
Speaker 2: lease afterwards, right? Madagascar is not.
Speaker 4: Leased yeah matt leblanc he's not wrong jimmy jesus nobody
Speaker 4: else could be the giraffe thank you dude you.
Speaker 2: Don't understand i clearly said swimmer that's not what we're
Speaker 2: arguing i know that's the problem he was in band
Speaker 2: of brothers yeah at least the first one yeah yeah
Speaker 2: but uh there's a sequel i Come on, man. He's
Speaker 2: at the first one. We're begging. Okay, so Band of Brothers,
Speaker 2: by the way, the greatest cinema made about World War II,
Speaker 2: and it's a 10-episode series.
Speaker 4: I've heard that, yeah.
Speaker 2: Produced by Spielberg and Hanks, and it follows a Charlie company.
Speaker 2: It is absolutely amazing. Band of Brothers. Start to finish. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Then they came back, and they actually did one for
Speaker 2: the Pacific region. which is good, but the original was
Speaker 2: just the best because not only with each story, they
Speaker 2: actually interviewed the real guys at the end of each episode,
Speaker 2: and it was just over the top. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: It was so great. Look, I'm going to say when
Speaker 2: it's kind of crazy because they didn't do anything on
Speaker 2: television after this, and I mean nothing, but nobody from
Speaker 2: the Dukes of Hazzard cast had a career after that.
Speaker 2: John Schneider had a little bit of a music career.
Speaker 3: But after that, nobody really– and the funny thing is
Speaker 3: the guy who played Boss Hogg, Sorrel Book, was a–
Speaker 3: I mean, he was a stage legend. Like, he was a–
Speaker 3: he's kind of a– he was a Shakespearean actor. So
Speaker 3: it was kind of weird to hear him playing that thing.
Speaker 3: But that's kind of what he did. But nobody on
Speaker 3: that show did anything. Catherine Bott basically became a pinup girl.
Speaker 3: Denver Pyle didn't really do anything after that. James Best, hello.
Speaker 3: James Best did nothing. He had an acting school here
Speaker 3: in Central Florida.
Speaker 2: He lived here. That's what he did. That's what he did. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: That's his big accomplishment. What about Tom Wolpack?
Speaker 7: Nothing.
Speaker 2: They did nothing. That show burned hot for like four years,
Speaker 2: and they went nowhere after that. What do you know
Speaker 2: about Degrassi? Degrassi's pumped out some stars. That's Drake and
Speaker 2: that one girl, right? Yeah, yeah. That's wheelchair Drake. People
Speaker 2: don't know that. Let me tell everyone in Central Florida.
Speaker 2: Wheelchair Drizzy? Dude, Drake's climb up of stardom had him
Speaker 2: in a Canadian pop sitcom, which featured him getting shot.
Speaker 2: and being put in a wheelchair. Wow, really? Never forget
Speaker 2: that that's part of Drake's background story. Weezy had New Orleans,
Speaker 2: all right, and Louisiana and Holly Grove. Weezy was on
Speaker 2: the streets at 12, dude. Drake was filming television. Weezy
Speaker 2: was being raised by a gang member when he was
Speaker 2: like 13, dude. While Drake is over here practicing his lines.
Speaker 2: And I got to tell you, he was really good
Speaker 2: on the show. Dating Lance Morissette.

Speaker 3: a lot of the music and co-writing some of those
Speaker 3: big hits of hers.
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: I didn't know the mom was into that at all.
Speaker 2: I want to say the dad is also into performing
Speaker 2: or somewhere in entertainment.
Speaker 3: A couple other things you may not know about. Geez,
Speaker 3: let me try that on a regular speed. A couple
Speaker 3: things you may not know about Melissa McCarthy before we
Speaker 3: get to the top of the hour. We've got a
Speaker 3: raw sauce coming up, which includes... a Halloween Horror Nights review.
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. She was in the Groundlings for how long?
Speaker 2: Two years.
Speaker 4: Three years.
Speaker 2: Four years. Ten years. Just short of that, actually. Really? Yeah,
Speaker 2: ten years. Nine years into months. Wow.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: That's awesome. That is. You know, I thought you were
Speaker 2: going to say three weeks as the real answer afterwards.
Speaker 2: She set up shop, yes. She put in her work.
Speaker 2: She did not actually plan on being in entertainment. She
Speaker 2: really went to school to be a designer. She wanted
Speaker 2: to be in fashion. One of her best friends was
Speaker 2: a guy who designed shoes and stuff. She became enamored
Speaker 2: with it and kind of off to the races there.
Speaker 2: She's the first cousin of model and actress Jenny McCarthy. Okay.
Speaker 2: The blonde that was married to Jim Carrey. Really? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: They're related. That's her first cousin. God almighty. We just
Speaker 2: caused a car accident. And then lastly here, her all-time
Speaker 2: favorite movie is this. I got to tell you.
Speaker 3: This is a movie that maybe, you know, we did
Speaker 3: this thing last week where if you're going to show
Speaker 3: a movie to somebody who had never seen a movie,
Speaker 3: just to prove to them how badass movies are, this
Speaker 3: movie never gets mentioned in that comedy drama world. And
Speaker 3: it is absolutely brilliant. One of the best movies out
Speaker 3: there dialogue-wise, everything about it. And it's our favorite movie.
Speaker 3: It's Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we never talk about that in the great scheme
Speaker 3: of movies. But man, that thing holds up generation after generation.
Speaker 3: And on the short list of Thanksgiving movies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, 100%, man. Great pick.
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, did you remember that Steve
Speaker 3: Martin said that John Candy was so convincing as that
Speaker 3: character when he does that last speech where he explains
Speaker 3: that he doesn't have a family, that everything is a scam,
Speaker 3: he's just basically homeless and he wanders around doing this stuff,
Speaker 3: that it was so believable that Steve Martin had to
Speaker 3: call cut on the first shot because he broke down
Speaker 3: crying and how convincing john candy was explaining to him
Speaker 3: what his life really was like you know steve martin
Speaker 3: was so into it it like affected him emotionally like
Speaker 3: incredible uh ross thoughts yes halloween horror nights i just

Speaker 2: but it was just so normal. Like, it was just
Speaker 2: comedy you would have in your house with your family
Speaker 2: every day. It was so good.
Speaker 21: A show that produced a lot of people, like a
Speaker 21: lot of stars, In Living Color, man.

Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
Speaker 16: You got Jim Carrey and Tommy Davidson and David Allen Greer, Jennifer.
Speaker 2: Lopez, Jamie Foxx came from In Living.
Speaker 10: Color, man.
Speaker 2: That's pretty strong now.
Speaker 7: Later.
Speaker 2: J-Lo was on that show for a while. He was
Speaker 2: a backup dancer, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which Wayans is
Speaker 2: that again? I can't remember. It was all of them, Jim. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I know what that means. Keenan was the oldest brother. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because that whole family, there's like a bunch of them.
Speaker 2: It's like Melinda's. There's a whole bunch of those. All right,
Speaker 2: welcome back to the Jim Corpore Show. We're already at 104.1.
Speaker 2: I'm Jim. Deb and Jack are here as well. And
Speaker 2: Ross has some thoughts. Let's get them. It's weird. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I've got thoughts. It's funny. What are you going to
Speaker 2: do about it?
Speaker 1: Sometimes.
Speaker 2: Check this out. It's Ross. My first thought. Spelled like sauce.
Speaker 2: It's actually advice. It's Ross Thoughts. Because my first thought is,
Speaker 2: if you're trying to become a better adult and you
Speaker 2: don't know anything about your mortgage, well, do I have
Speaker 2: a guy. ThatMortgageGuyDon.com. He knows everything that you need to
Speaker 2: know about refi.com. Anything you need to know when it
Speaker 2: comes to your mortgage, be proactive. Be on top of
Speaker 2: that because that can help out your monthly payment. Trust me,
Speaker 2: a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 9: All right.
Speaker 2: It's literally saved my life and it's the reason why
Speaker 2: I can tip 30% every now and then because I refied.
Speaker 2: Do not miss out on that opportunity. If you're not
Speaker 2: on top of it, thatmortgageguydon.com. Please, it will change your life. Now,
Speaker 2: throwing this out here. I am very privy to some
Speaker 2: really cool things as I've pursued entertainment throughout the last
Speaker 2: 18 years of my life.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 2: And one of the coolest things I'll tell everyone is
Speaker 2: that when I first moved up to Orlando, my brother
Speaker 2: was working at Universal. I got hired at Universal. And
Speaker 2: the first thing that I it was right around the
Speaker 2: time it was time for the employee preview. And the
Speaker 2: employee preview is basically one of the coolest things that
Speaker 2: happens in Central Florida that a lot of Central Floridians
Speaker 2: don't ever get to go to. Because it's the dress
Speaker 2: rehearsal for the world-renowned event that Universal holds, Halloween Horror Night. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that was nice. I'm doing that with my hand. And
Speaker 2: it is as good as you think. If you're a
Speaker 2: fan of that event, it's a little bit discounted on
Speaker 2: the drinks. It's a little bit way less populated. So, like,
Speaker 2: the longest wait time I had for any house, I think,
Speaker 2: was like 15 minutes. Oh, that's a dream. No one
Speaker 2: likes this flex.
Speaker 17: Okay.
Speaker 2: Well, the flex is also just letting everybody know that
Speaker 2: it is such a special night for theme park employees.
Speaker 2: I would argue the most special night. for theme park
Speaker 2: employees on the planet, because there's not many times that
Speaker 2: all the employees get to be off and then be
Speaker 2: in the theme park, hanging out and talking and reminiscing.
Speaker 2: It is such a beautiful time with that said, why
Speaker 2: got to do all the haunted houses and boy this year,
Speaker 2: I think is my favorite. Can I ask you a
Speaker 2: question before we move forward with the review? Yeah.
Speaker 3: This is just a little like a behind the scenes
Speaker 3: kind of thing. Is it a major no-no as an
Speaker 3: employee is if you're going through one of the houses
Speaker 3: and you recognize an employee, you know, in character to
Speaker 3: not say anything or say, is that a, that's a
Speaker 3: major no-no, right?
Speaker 2: It is a fantastic question. And I don't know if
Speaker 2: it's a no-no. All I know for me personally, it's
Speaker 2: a yes, yes. And it is awesome. Yeah, yeah. And
Speaker 2: it does happen. That's awesome. And the more people you know,
Speaker 2: the more likely you're going to know this character. You're
Speaker 2: trying to bust them up a little bit? I never
Speaker 2: try to bust them up, but they always try to
Speaker 2: bust me up a little bit. So it's really, really fun.
Speaker 2: But yes, to answer your question. Now, with that said,
Speaker 2: I've got to tell you, and I'm not getting paid
Speaker 2: to say this. I think this year's Halloween Horror Nights
Speaker 2: is A +. Really? Bonafide one of the best years.
Speaker 2: Everyone knows in that community that every five years or
Speaker 2: every ten years on whatever the centennial version of 35 is,
Speaker 2: they kind of go a little bit harder. This 35th
Speaker 2: year of doing this event, which, by the way, 35th
Speaker 2: year of doing this event. That's insane. Now that's culture.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: They knocked it out of the park. Now, let's get
Speaker 2: to these houses. I've got number 10, Jim. We're going
Speaker 2: to start it off, but friendly reminder, all of these
Speaker 2: houses were amazing. Number 10, I've got Caged Cannibals. Okay.
Speaker 2: Madeline's Caged Cannibals. All right. It is set in this
Speaker 2: post-apocalyptic zoo, right? But all of the zoo animals are gone.
Speaker 17: Uh-oh.
Speaker 2: The cannibals have taken the cages.
Speaker 4: All right, all right.
Speaker 10: Right?
Speaker 2: And to me, it's my 10th, and it's just my
Speaker 2: cup of oolong. Cannibals don't scare me. Okay. Because I'm like, dude,
Speaker 2: we live in the States. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We live
Speaker 2: in Florida, dog. We had people eating people in this state.
Speaker 2: I could throw a rock over at I-Drive.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: We had a guy just trying to chill in his garage.
Speaker 2: I just don't. You got eight. Go to Tijuana Flats. Like,
Speaker 2: I don't understand. Cannibals never scared me.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: I just feel like if you can be defeated by a... McGriddle,
Speaker 2: you don't scare me. Number nine, Stranger Things. That might
Speaker 2: be my hottest take. This is probably one of the
Speaker 2: bigger budgeted houses of the year. It's the last season
Speaker 2: of Stranger Things as well. I only saw the first season.
Speaker 2: If you love the show, you're probably going to love
Speaker 2: the house, but for me... I only liked the show.
Speaker 2: So number nine, Stranger Things. Number eight, Jim, Cyber Gorya.
Speaker 2: Cyber Gorya. Cyber Gorya. It's all in the name. What
Speaker 2: I like about this is that it's very sci-fi, and
Speaker 2: it's trying to give everybody eternal life. Like alien vibes
Speaker 2: kind of thing? Yeah, kind of like alien vibes, but
Speaker 2: with robots and with beauty.
Speaker 16: Okay.
Speaker 2: It's like plastic surgery to live as long as possible,
Speaker 2: or you kind of get frozen. It's the horror of vanity? Yes, yes.
Speaker 10: Ooh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. So if you want to see billionaires freeze
Speaker 2: and not make it, that's the house for you. Number seven,
Speaker 2: the Evil Dead Burn House. Okay. This is the first...
Speaker 2: Is this where you go to smoke weed? No, nope, nope. Nope,
Speaker 2: it is not.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 2: Evil Dead Burn, if this is off the franchise, the
Speaker 2: movie Evil Dead. I love this house, but it's a
Speaker 2: top ten. It smelled so good. It smelled like the
Speaker 2: house was on fire. Oh, really? As you're walking through
Speaker 2: this demon-possessed... Dude, I love it when they do that.
Speaker 2: I love when they put in the smell.
Speaker 3: Like the baby one that time we walk in and
Speaker 3: it smells like a diaper genie.
Speaker 2: Yes, I remember that one. It was the greatest. And
Speaker 2: then you'd go ahead and be like, how old am I?
Speaker 2: Am I 32 again? Number six. Now, this is where
Speaker 2: it's a coin flip from here on out outside of
Speaker 2: the top two.
Speaker 3: So in other words, you're saying you could really shift
Speaker 3: it back and forth. You theoretically could put five at one.
Speaker 2: I couldn't put five to one, but I could put
Speaker 2: five to six, and I could put four to five.
Speaker 2: These next three, we're splitting hairs. One and two, you're definitive.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: Number six, Ozzy Osbourne. I need to tell the real
Speaker 2: radio listeners one thing that they need to do if
Speaker 2: you are an Ozzy Osbourne fan. It's this haunted house.
Speaker 2: You may be asking why. It's because you get to
Speaker 2: go on the crazy train. Oh, that's awesome. And by
Speaker 2: the way, somebody just tuned out and said that because
Speaker 2: they didn't want any spoilers. There's no spoilers.
Speaker 3: He's just telling you which ones are the best. By
Speaker 3: the way, that's the second vote. We had a guy
Speaker 3: just text in and say that he thought the Aussie house.
Speaker 2: Was the best one. Yeah, I'm also going off of
Speaker 2: literally this. Everything that I'm saying right now has already
Speaker 2: been released on the Internet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead. Number five, extraterrestrial getting abducted and not
Speaker 2: in like a butt way, but like in a fun way.
Speaker 2: Who said the bad way can't be the fun way? Well,
Speaker 2: my sobriety.
Speaker 4: Easy, Jack.
Speaker 2: You didn't need to second that, dude. God damn. Jack
Speaker 2: came in with a hell yeah. I love aliens. I
Speaker 2: love abductions. I love that as a horror movie, War
Speaker 2: of the Worlds, that genre. Agreed. It is that house.
Speaker 7: Agreed.
Speaker 2: I like that. And you get to go into that alien.
Speaker 2: It's so much fun. Number four, I've got for sinners.
Speaker 2: So it's not just vampires. It's also racism is the villain.
Speaker 2: And Sinners is such a good house, though. It's so good.
Speaker 2: I only said the racist thing because it's a huge
Speaker 2: through line through the movie. Not really in the house.
Speaker 2: But if you love the brothers, if you love the twins,
Speaker 2: you got to see him at Halloween Horror Nights. It
Speaker 2: is so awesome to see. Number three, the in-house. This
Speaker 2: is such a celebration for the fans of this event.
Speaker 2: Jack and Odd Fellows.
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2: That chaos and control house is such a celebration for
Speaker 2: maybe Orlando. best event right yeah it's so cool uh
Speaker 2: man was jack the very first kind of um a
Speaker 2: character that they like hey it's jack's house kind of
Speaker 2: thing that's the first one they weren't when they themed
Speaker 2: it to one character because they had the old lady
Speaker 2: in the rocking chair they've had So that was one year,
Speaker 2: but Jack was the first and the biggest and the
Speaker 2: best and he's the worst and the scariest.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Number two, and this is the whole reason
Speaker 2: why I am doing this segment because I want as
Speaker 2: many people. Number two is my favorite house. I think
Speaker 2: number one is a better house, but subjectively speaking, number
Speaker 2: two is my favorite house.
Speaker 10: H.R.
Speaker 2: Blood and Guts is an absolute must at this year's
Speaker 2: Halloween Horror Nights. Very nice.
Speaker 9: H.R.
Speaker 2: Blood and Guts. It's an O.G.I.P.
Speaker 17: H.R.
Speaker 2: Puffin stuff?
Speaker 20: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, no. They created this character in-house. It is flawless.
Speaker 2: It is perfect. And to be honest with you, it
Speaker 2: feels like I made it because it's exactly how I
Speaker 2: think entertainment should be. Don't make me think too much
Speaker 2: so I can enjoy a whole lot more. And you
Speaker 2: get the concept immediately. You understand everything that's happening. So
Speaker 2: throughout the entire house, you're either laughing or getting scared.
Speaker 2: But at the end of that house, if you aren't entertained,
Speaker 2: you're missing a sense. You have an affliction. Because it
Speaker 2: was so much fun. It's the only house I did twice.
Speaker 3: HR Blood and Guts is like a cross between Dracula
Speaker 3: and the Phantom of the Opera kind of thing?
Speaker 2: Yes, but the story is that he was a failed actor.
Speaker 2: And then he takes over a TV station. And then
Speaker 2: he has his television spectacular. I like it. And then
Speaker 2: you go through all the different shows. Number one, if
Speaker 2: you just listen closely in process of elimination, and this
Speaker 2: could be its own topic, is I've never seen a
Speaker 2: single frame of this franchise. It is the scariest house
Speaker 2: I've ever walked through at Halloween Horror Nights.
Speaker 6: Really?
Speaker 2: It is the bloodiest house I've ever walked through at
Speaker 2: Halloween Horror Nights. It's probably also the longest house I
Speaker 2: have ever walked through at Halloween Horror Nights. It's an
Speaker 2: IP Hellraiser. Oh, man. Hellraiser, dude? Hellraiser's on it. I
Speaker 2: felt like I went to hell.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: And then I came back and it was so effective
Speaker 2: of a haunted house. I didn't want to almost do
Speaker 2: it again. Like the pinhead character, right? The pinhead, it
Speaker 2: scared me. It made me... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Isn't it
Speaker 2: kind of one of those almost sadomasochism thing?
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: Like you're celebrating pain kind of thing? I did not
Speaker 2: know that. I haven't seen a... I want to watch
Speaker 2: the movies now. Oh, yeah. But that house... kind of
Speaker 2: scarred me a little bit. Really? It was some powerful
Speaker 2: imagery in that haunted house. It was horrifying. It was disturbing.
Speaker 2: It was great. It was awesome. It's my number one house.
Speaker 2: All right, very good. And because of those reasons, because
Speaker 2: I've never seen a theme park go so hard. And
Speaker 2: I think I won't be alone in the two cents
Speaker 2: in thinking that at the end of this year's run.
Speaker 3: Hey, did they kind of make a statement at the
Speaker 3: beginning of this year or whatever that they were going
Speaker 3: to do that? Like it was going to be a
Speaker 3: little bit more kind of out.
Speaker 2: There than it was years before? I mean, I never
Speaker 2: heard anybody say that. All I know is Hellraiser is
Speaker 2: saying that at this year's Halloween Horror Night. Celebrate. It's
Speaker 2: right around the corner. I know the season starts. We
Speaker 2: don't get brown leaves here in Central Florida, but what
Speaker 2: we do get is badass events at these multi-bajillion dollar
Speaker 2: facilities that only exist, once again, friendly reminder, to entertain us.
Speaker 2: That's absolutely right, man. And those are your Ross thoughts.
Speaker 2: I'm out. Peace. Go see Blood and Guts. Great job.
Speaker 3: I think people are probably out there making notes because,
Speaker 3: I mean, you only have so much time to get
Speaker 3: in some of these houses, so you definitely want to
Speaker 3: not waste your time on ones that you don't think
Speaker 3: are great.
Speaker 2: I mean, you've been doing this for years. I have been.
Speaker 2: So I think that's very valuable to the customers. Top
Speaker 2: three houses, Oddfellow and Jack, number two, HR, Blood and Guts,
Speaker 2: number one, Hellraiser. That's my top three houses of this
Speaker 2: year's Halloween Horror Nights. All right. Very good, buddy. Back
Speaker 2: in a sec with more of the Jim Colbert Show. Hello, everyone.
Speaker 13: Simply Jeremy here. So I've been a real radio listener
Speaker 13: since Ed Till and Aaron Summer's days.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 13: And for the longest time, every time I would hear Mr.
Speaker 2: Phillips talk, I always pictured.
Speaker 13: Bryan Cranston in his underwear and Josh Pinkman dressed as
Speaker 13: Jesse Pinkman. And that was the mental picture I always
Speaker 13: had of them back before we had YouTube and the
Speaker 13: Internet to be able to see what everybody looked like.
Speaker 20: Raymond Dodd, writer.
Speaker 6: Later. Hello.
Speaker 2: Can't believe you missed this comedy duo, Cheech and Chong.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 17: Yes, they're mostly known for their movies and their albums,
Speaker 17: but they do perform on stage, and a lot of
Speaker 17: those sketches that were on stage made it into their
Speaker 17: movies and albums.
Speaker 10: Smoke up!
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show, Real
Speaker 3: Radio 104.1. Man, if you're out there on the roads,
Speaker 3: be careful.
Speaker 9: Whoa.
Speaker 2: If you're in the Central Florida area, anywhere in the
Speaker 2: Central Florida area, whether it be Winter Park, Oviedo, Maitland, Altamont.
Speaker 4: Tavares, Eustis.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Windermere, it is nasty out there. Be careful. Slow down.
Speaker 4: It's literally the entire length of I-4 from Daytona Beach
Speaker 4: all the way down to Arcadia.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's a big old storm. It is like midnight
Speaker 2: out there right now.
Speaker 4: And it's not moving.
Speaker 8: All right.
Speaker 2: Welcome back.
Speaker 7: I'm Jim.
Speaker 2: There's Deb. Hello.
Speaker 21: Jack.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And Ross. It's all true.
Speaker 3: So malls, we know, are having a very difficult time, right?
Speaker 3: There's only a couple of those really making it. All
Speaker 3: the other malls are being transitioned into something else.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised it's happening in Florida. What a tip to serve.
Speaker 2: So we know that Altamont Mall is one of the
Speaker 2: viable malls in Central Florida. for a while i think
Speaker 2: the theater actually helps that out a little bit they
Speaker 2: do it's not adjacent but it does bring it brings
Speaker 2: the the boys into the yard yeah yeah thank you
Speaker 2: jack i appreciate that thank you thank you kesha no
Speaker 2: that's not kesha is it no no that's uh kellis
Speaker 2: kellis yeah yeah you have a mall of millennia what
Speaker 2: about the florida mall florida mall still out there that's
Speaker 2: all that's that's banging that's you got about three Yeah,
Speaker 2: you have Florida Mall. You have Millennium Mall. You have
Speaker 2: Altamont Mall. And that's it. Fashion Square is dead. West
Speaker 2: Oaks is dead. Oviedo is dead.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're transitioning into whatever's next. So are they then mall?
Speaker 3: So malls are always looking for a way. How did
Speaker 3: you get Kellis?
Speaker 2: God, that is impressive. Couldn't tell me your phone number
Speaker 2: right now, but you just nailed the milkshake song, lady.
Speaker 2: Just read my tat, dude. Just read my tat. That's
Speaker 2: where my form is. It's a cover-up.
Speaker 6: Of.
Speaker 2: It doesn't end.
Speaker 4: No, it doesn't.
Speaker 2: It's impressive. I couldn't remember the artist you said first.
Speaker 2: That's what I was going to say. I was covering up.
Speaker 5: See what I'm talking about? How did you pull Kellis
Speaker 5: out of that? I just remember the song.
Speaker 2: I don't know why. I went through a Kellis moment
Speaker 2: in my life. What can I say?
Speaker 3: So what other– malls are looking for ways to make revenue.
Speaker 3: Of course, if you're having a hard time getting people
Speaker 3: to come to your store, that's going to be a problem, right?
Speaker 3: But they're figuring out other ways to do this. Now,
Speaker 3: it's not sitting well with people who– who are doing this,
Speaker 3: not really sitting well. How do you think they're doing it? Now,
Speaker 3: let me find out where this is.
Speaker 10: Strip clubs.
Speaker 2: Not strip clubs. That's a good idea. This is happening
Speaker 2: in Wayne, New Jersey.
Speaker 18: Oh, boy.
Speaker 2: Where's Wayne, New Jersey, Jack? Is that Bradshaw adjacent? It's
Speaker 2: a little south, but New Jersey is like the mall
Speaker 2: capital of the world. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Data centers. Not
Speaker 2: data centers. Oh, good guess. Wait, why aren't we doing that?
Speaker 2: I don't want to help out the bad guys. Nobody
Speaker 2: will know it's there. That's not it. Deb, what do
Speaker 2: you think they're doing?
Speaker 3: What do you think malls are doing trying to make
Speaker 3: more revenue that would really piss people off?
Speaker 2: By the way, it has nothing to do with the building.
Speaker 2: Ice detention centers. That's super funny.
Speaker 4: Homeless shelters or drug treatment centers.
Speaker 2: Got another. Those are all great ideas. Somebody should be
Speaker 2: listening and writing this down. We'll send them the podcast.
Speaker 2: They're trying to charge for parking.
Speaker 17: What?
Speaker 2: The mall. Okay. On the surface, it's single-handedly the dumbest
Speaker 2: idea I've heard in five years. So what they're doing
Speaker 2: in this mall is they're taking all the spots that
Speaker 2: are closest to the stores, and they're basically kind of
Speaker 2: roping those off. It turned out to be about a hundred.
Speaker 2: 120 parking spots around the mall and they're charging you.
Speaker 2: Let me see the time.
Speaker 3: How much do you think they're charging you? It's this
Speaker 3: number for the first hour and then this number for
Speaker 3: every hour after that. And the cap is this. It
Speaker 3: should be negative three bucks.
Speaker 2: They should pay you for parking there? Yeah, because I'm
Speaker 2: going to the mall. Five bucks with a cap at 25. Ooh.
Speaker 2: God dang, dude, that's a lot.
Speaker 4: I'm going to say it starts at $ 3. 50 with a
Speaker 4: cap at $ 5.
Speaker 2: What do you think? I'll go $ 3. 10. So it's a
Speaker 2: QR code that has a little sign in front of it.
Speaker 2: People love those. Yeah. And boy, do they trust them.
Speaker 3: And when you scan this QR, it gives you a
Speaker 3: five-digit number, and it's $ 2. 45 for the first hour, $ 2
Speaker 3: for every hour after that, and the cap is about $ 10.
Speaker 1: 50 a day.
Speaker 3: And by the way, this apparently has legs because similar
Speaker 3: arrangements have rolled out in Louisville, in Bakersfield, California, in Arizona. L.A.,
Speaker 3: in Columbia, Maryland, and in a Chicago mall as well.
Speaker 3: It says, all in all, 23 malls out of over
Speaker 3: 95 GGP properties, that's the mall owning group, I guess,
Speaker 3: are doing the preferred parking across the country. It's intended
Speaker 3: for those who want the convenience not to look for
Speaker 3: a spot. Why does this anger me?
Speaker 2: Cheryl says she sends a text to the outlet mall
Speaker 2: in Lake Buena Vista where the Dolly Parton dinner show
Speaker 2: used to be. Yeah, yeah. Already charges for parking.
Speaker 11: Oh, really?
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Like Dixie Stampede was there, right?
Speaker 21: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, here's the thing. I'll give you an example
Speaker 2: of how this can kind of work maybe. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Look at the weather we're having right now. I don't
Speaker 2: know about you guys, but when I'm in Florida in
Speaker 2: the afternoons in the summer, you have to kind of
Speaker 2: figure out what's going to happen after you're done with work.
Speaker 2: Because today we're going to have to step out there
Speaker 2: in a damn monsoon to get out of here tonight.
Speaker 2: So I can see getting that preferential parking right up
Speaker 2: front to avoid any weather issues. Maybe it's snow. Most
Speaker 2: of these are in areas where there's snow, except for
Speaker 2: the one in California. Yeah, I don't know why this
Speaker 2: makes me so angry. It shouldn't make you angry. It's
Speaker 2: kind of dumb. I get it, but the thing is,
Speaker 2: they're doing it. That just says the Florida Mall already
Speaker 2: does it. Oh, really?
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 4: All the more reason to wait a moment.
Speaker 2: It says.
Speaker 4: Sorry.
Speaker 2: She's allergic to bad ideas. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Let me play that fart noise again. That was a
Speaker 2: weird commercial. I was just listening to this show, and look, man,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of stuff happening over there. It's hard
Speaker 2: to get the right buttons. We're sitting here, Deb and I,
Speaker 2: and Deb and I, our ears are like, we're like bloodhounds.
Speaker 2: And we hear this fart come over, and we immediately
Speaker 2: look at each other. Because I didn't do it. We
Speaker 2: think that's in-house. Right. We just hear that going on.
Speaker 2: I'm like, are we selling turds? Do we have a
Speaker 2: new client that's selling turds? Is that what we're doing?
Speaker 4: Jump on the talkback.
Speaker 17: Out on the air. Out on the air.
Speaker 2: I think it angers me just because. Audacity. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: think that's why I'm just like, as soon as I
Speaker 2: think that you can't stoop so low, you found another
Speaker 2: opportunity to squeeze out a couple of bucks from us.
Speaker 4: This is no different than turning the screen around at anywhere, right?
Speaker 4: You didn't do anything and ask how much you want.
Speaker 4: I want a tip.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 3: It says, look, here it says, obviously, this is getting
Speaker 3: just completely blasted online. It says in today's economy, when
Speaker 3: you talk about people being pushed and tipped over the
Speaker 3: edge for everything right now, it's yet another level of capitalism.
Speaker 3: People want to grow their business, but there should be
Speaker 3: a line somewhere in the sand. Now, look, you don't
Speaker 3: have to use these spots.
Speaker 2: There are plenty. Like they say in this, like there's
Speaker 2: 7,000 spots in all these malls that are completely free.
Speaker 2: That's not the problem, Jim. They can't use those spots. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're right. They cannot. Not the way that they used to.
Speaker 2: I don't know how I could convince the uber wealthy
Speaker 2: people that first comes first. is okay. I guess, I
Speaker 2: don't know. So Texter says Florida Mall does not charge
Speaker 2: for parking. They do charge for valet parking and so
Speaker 2: does Mall of Millennia. And the reason why is that
Speaker 2: mall has like a night, not a nightclub, but like
Speaker 2: it used to have Blue Martini in there and it
Speaker 2: also has.
Speaker 4: No, it has called Neiman Marcus and those bitches don't
Speaker 4: want to walk.
Speaker 2: They have a couple of nice restaurants in there, I believe,
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 4: I haven't been there. I mean, I've been to the mall,
Speaker 4: but now Blue Martini's moved out. Yeah, it's moved out
Speaker 4: because they used to be Tiger Stomp. You see all
Speaker 4: the Aston Martins, the Maserati, the Lamborghini.
Speaker 2: The Ferrari. That was the hunting grounds for Mr. Woods
Speaker 2: for a while over there. Well, dude, Blue Martini, when
Speaker 2: one night you could have a booth with... Tiger Woods,
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan, and Derek Jeter all at the same table.
Speaker 2: And then across the way, it would be Ken Griffey Jr.,
Speaker 2: Dee Brown, and Dennis Scott or Shaq or whatever.
Speaker 4: Don't give Tiger too much credit. He liked a good
Speaker 4: Perkins waitress every once in a while, too.
Speaker 2: And now you go there and it's just like a
Speaker 2: drunk Chuck E. Cheese and the polar bear from Icy.
Speaker 2: What happened to this place, man? We used to have
Speaker 2: boy bands. It's Chuck E. Cheese and King Henry with
Speaker 2: a turkey leg in costume. And the one dude from
Speaker 2: Cirque du Soleil, the weird walking guy. Appliance direct and
Speaker 2: fun spots over at that table. The dude with the
Speaker 2: eye patch and the chick with the cast. They're all chilling.
Speaker 2: What a cast of characters we have here in Orlando.
Speaker 2: This drink costs too much. This food, it's huge. What
Speaker 2: was the other one? The other characters we had in town.
Speaker 2: What's the used car guy from over on the coast?
Speaker 2: The big dude. Family Automart. Family Automart. I got to
Speaker 2: tell you, if you want, if you people are just
Speaker 2: coming to town and you didn't get to experience. The
Speaker 2: local advertising and local production that was the family Auto
Speaker 2: Mart commercials. Remember Cletus?
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: They had characters. Oh, my God, dude. It was crazy.
Speaker 2: My first house was right down the block from their lot.
Speaker 2: We actually had them at one of our sporting clays tournament.
Speaker 17: Oh, really?
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And you remember the, it's so funny. They were an advertiser.
Speaker 3: They became so popular. They started doing endorsements for other companies.
Speaker 6: Yes.
Speaker 2: Do you remember which one?
Speaker 21: No.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Didn't the guy, high tide Harry's. Oh yeah. Didn't the
Speaker 2: guy from family auto Mart also endorse high tide Harry's.
Speaker 2: I remember that being a drop. I don't remember him
Speaker 2: to actually doing the commercial. And you know who the
Speaker 2: OG is though, right? The OG of all those people is.
Speaker 2: Artie Grindle, I want to sell you a van. Artie Grindle.
Speaker 4: Who tried to run his wife over in one of
Speaker 4: his vans.
Speaker 2: Did he really?
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't you remember? That's when I was like legal trouble.
Speaker 2: I did not remember that. Yeah, you really started this
Speaker 2: thing off positive. This guy's whole gig was, he was
Speaker 2: so aggro. He goes, I'm Artie Grindle and I want
Speaker 2: to sell you a car. He would jump up on
Speaker 2: his cars and kick in the windshields. You guys remember that?
Speaker 18: Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2: He'd jump up and.
Speaker 3: Down like a maniac on the hood of a car. Man,
Speaker 3: that's what we're missing now. There's no more great local
Speaker 3: commercials anymore. I don't want to body shame, but I'm
Speaker 3: about to a little bit. But there's a new car salesman.
Speaker 3: He'll pop up as a YouTube ad every now and then.
Speaker 3: But every time I see him, I'm just like, he's
Speaker 3: got a 50-50 body.
Speaker 2: He's 50% upper torso, 50% bottom torso.
Speaker 8: Okay.
Speaker 2: So it kind of just looks like a... Big torso
Speaker 2: with feet?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Like a Humpty Dumpty? He just looks like he's half leg,
Speaker 2: half arm.
Speaker 23: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Who is it? I forgot his name, but once you
Speaker 2: see him, it's very Slender Man. And he just looks Gumby-esque. God,
Speaker 2: do you remember the guy... It's so funny that.
Speaker 3: You could probably find these on YouTube, but they did
Speaker 3: these two characters, and they were like these hillbilly characters.
Speaker 3: They had those fake hillbilly teeth. And they did this song, Fixin'
Speaker 3: to Learn Ya.
Speaker 2: You remember that? I'm fixing to learn you. I'm fixing
Speaker 2: to learn you. About the deal on a car or whatever.
Speaker 2: That is a lost art, man. That local, cheesy, campy commercial.
Speaker 4: The only ones are the Appliance Direct.
Speaker 2: They don't even do that anymore. Oh, they do. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think they do. I got them on YouTube. YouTube ad.
Speaker 2: Family Auto Mart, we had them do an ID for us. Oh,
Speaker 2: did they really? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he doesn't say, you pay too much. And
Speaker 4: the woman with the knee brace is gone.
Speaker 2: Terry, I think was her name.
Speaker 1: Terry.
Speaker 2: But there's one on the coast, and I think that's
Speaker 2: one of the only ones left. Somebody said there is
Speaker 2: one over here. Yeah, somebody said that there was one
Speaker 2: out by us, but there's not. I looked everywhere, and
Speaker 2: there's no— I mean, there was even no listing for it.
Speaker 2: Last time I went, it was where the Tibby's Plaza
Speaker 2: is on 436. Oh, over in Atlanta. Yeah, it used
Speaker 2: to be there was a giant yellow warehouse a little
Speaker 2: further east, but then they kind of shrunk out of
Speaker 2: that and went to a storefront by Tibby's.
Speaker 3: They're the last of that breed, right? You pay too much, guys.
Speaker 3: That's the last of the local ad breed.
Speaker 4: That's all I can think of.
Speaker 2: Maybe the Fun Spot guys, but they're just local businessmen.
Speaker 2: They didn't try to do anything. They didn't have a
Speaker 2: campy hook like the eye patch or the cast or
Speaker 2: anything like that. I thought those were real injuries. No,
Speaker 2: get out of here. You're going to tell me that
Speaker 2: guy was faking an eye injury? Dude.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 2: Are you serious, dude? This is an episode that's been
Speaker 2: filled with me getting epiphany after epiphany.
Speaker 3: You're telling me that chick wore that cast for like
Speaker 3: six years? That's the worst break of all time. That
Speaker 3: cast was a thing, dude. It's like a Silence of
Speaker 3: the Lambs thing.
Speaker 2: They want you to get in the van so they
Speaker 2: can put you in the well and then sell you stuff.
Speaker 2: I thought that was just like an ace bandage.
Speaker 7: No, dude.
Speaker 2: That she was committed to. No, I'm telling you, man. Yeah,
Speaker 2: somebody just said David Moss. David Moss, well, he was
Speaker 2: a character. I knew David well, but he wasn't a character.
Speaker 2: What about Tires Ain't Pretty?
Speaker 6: Oh, that's it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tires Ain't Pretty.
Speaker 6: Sam?
Speaker 2: Sam Bear? Sam Bear. Sam Bear.
Speaker 4: Where you throw the tire through the window? Or the
Speaker 4: old lady, they still would play that commercial with the
Speaker 4: old lady walking up with the tire and throw it
Speaker 4: through the window, if I'm remembering that correctly.
Speaker 3: And that business was one of the oldest in Orlando
Speaker 3: for the longest time. That shoe store was around for
Speaker 3: like 80 years. You had the Mattress Barn guy. Remember
Speaker 3: Mattress Barn? He was always doing commercials over in Brevard.
Speaker 3: I know he had season tickets to the Magic.
Speaker 6: Oh, did he really?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: God, man, we need to do that. We need to
Speaker 2: bring that back, man. We need to get some business out.
Speaker 2: Do something dumb so we can kind of watch and
Speaker 2: have some fun with it. I bet they made a
Speaker 2: bunch of money with that stuff.
Speaker 7: Too, man.
Speaker 2: I know they still go viral every now and then,
Speaker 2: but the virality is now fake. It used to get
Speaker 2: a lot of views because can you believe how crazy
Speaker 2: this is? guy is? But now it's... It seems... He's
Speaker 2: doing it for the likes and views. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: And back in the day, you're just doing it for attention.
Speaker 2: Just anything... Which is the same thing. I mean, likes
Speaker 2: and views and attention. Is Family Artemark... Is it still around?
Speaker 2: We know Appliance Direct is still around. We know that
Speaker 2: Sam Baer is, I think, gone. I don't think the
Speaker 2: shoe store is there anymore, but I don't know if
Speaker 2: that's still around. That guy was not blind in one eye.
Speaker 2: I don't think so, buddy. I think the eye patch
Speaker 2: was a gimmick. Look it up. That's such a hot take.
Speaker 2: Why is that a hot take? Because you don't... Don't
Speaker 2: you find it odd that they both had injuries?
Speaker 3: Don't you find that in the least bit odd? What
Speaker 3: are the chances of two people having injuries that last lifetimes?
Speaker 3: It was for attention, man.
Speaker 2: Well, no, I just think it's somewhat of a hot
Speaker 2: take to look at anybody with an eye patch and
Speaker 2: go faking it.
Speaker 7: His name....
Speaker 2: His name is Sam Pak, right? Sam P-A-K... Eye patch.
Speaker 2: Sand pack? Yeah, real. Oh, come on, Jack. Stop it. No,
Speaker 2: it was sand pack. Yeah, sand pack. Was it not
Speaker 2: pockets pack? Oh, okay. Maybe it is pockets. I always
Speaker 2: thought it was pack. Okay. The eye patch was legit.
Speaker 2: I will give you 100 of my finest dollars if
Speaker 2: within two guesses you can guess what happened to his
Speaker 2: eye and why he wears the eye patch. Lawn dart. No,
Speaker 2: that's one guess. Dishwasher accident.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 4: Somebody farted in his pillow.
Speaker 2: Oh, good one, Deb. Thanks. He doesn't wear it anymore, though,
Speaker 2: because he had a cornea transplant and it's all good now.
Speaker 2: Pool cue. It's a sport. Oh, okay.
Speaker 3: He took a racquetball to the eye at 20 years old,
Speaker 3: and it dislodged his cornea, but he didn't want to
Speaker 3: have the surgery, so he wore the eye patch for
Speaker 3: a while.
Speaker 2: But he's 54 years old now. He's had a cornea transplant,
Speaker 2: and everything's fine. That was awesome. You want to look
Speaker 2: up arthritis in that Terry's knee?
Speaker 3: Now I have to find out if Terry's dead. All right, 407-916-1041,
Speaker 3: text us, 77031. Deb, got some news for us?
Speaker 4: A man and a woman are accused of burglarizing the
Speaker 4: home of a couple killed in a crash. Special place
Speaker 4: in hell for folks like that. A verdict is in
Speaker 4: for the murder of a Microsoft executive, and a country
Speaker 4: music superstar announces an Orlando Arena stop. We'll talk about
Speaker 4: that next during You Heard It Here First.
Speaker 2: You got it. We'll come back and get Deb's news
Speaker 2: and get the hell out of here on a Wednesday.
Speaker 2: This here's the family, man. You're listening to The Real Radio.
Speaker 1: It's time for a Talkback Purge on the Jim Colbert Show.
Speaker 2: Does anyone remember when Ernest P.
Speaker 16: Worrell used to do commercials for TV 35, which is
Speaker 16: now Fox 35?
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. He'd do his little thing where he'd do
Speaker 2: commercials and.
Speaker 21: He'd be Hey Vern, you gonna watch the Beverly Hillbillies
Speaker 21: on TV 35?
Speaker 2: Coming up right next. Stick around.
Speaker 15: Help me, Jack Juan Kenobi. You're my only hope. That
Speaker 15: song that was just playing behind the Family Auto Mart
Speaker 15: liner that you just played. What's the name of that song?
Speaker 15: I've been wanting to know for years. Jim Phillips always
Speaker 15: used to use it for all of his liners. I
Speaker 15: need to know, what's the name of that song?
Speaker 2: Wayfaring Stranger by Eva Cassidy.
Speaker 15: Whoa.
Speaker 23: All right, so the thing with the woman, when they
Speaker 23: first started doing the commercial, she was in it.
Speaker 8: And she had the cast on.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 20: And then either the audience was, they got a little
Speaker 20: disturbed when she didn't have it or they just decided
Speaker 20: to run with it.
Speaker 2: But yes, it was a prop. After, initially, she actually
Speaker 2: needed it. So, yes, it's both. She wasn't even an actor.
Speaker 2: She was a schoolteacher.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's just on there with the knee brace, and.
Speaker 2: She was scratching dead like the stuff she was selling. Oh,
Speaker 2: my God, dude. Damn. That was the symbolism. Oh, my God. Okay. Hey, Ohana.
Speaker 2: You're such a duck.
Speaker 18: So glad you mentioned Art Grendel. Man, he was the OG.
Speaker 1: That guy was a wild man.
Speaker 19: Aloha.
Speaker 10: Aloha.
Speaker 6: Aloha.
Speaker 2: Man, I grew up on that family auto mart, too.
Speaker 12: Some boo-coo minivans.
Speaker 8: Boo-coo.
Speaker 24: They had a lot of cars with me.
Speaker 2: Look out for me and Irene. So good, dude. Okay.
Speaker 2: Come on. Come on.
Speaker 7: It's okay.
Speaker 2: Can you feel the tension in the air? I can
Speaker 2: feel it all the way down in my plums.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: Obscured by the clouds.
Speaker 17: Light the candle.
Speaker 2: Let the boy watch. Let the boy watch. That's your purge.
Speaker 2: Unreal show today, guys. So much fun. Lord have mercy.

Speaker 2: It cycles down so fast. Jimmy, Uber, vigilant on the
Speaker 2: handicap beat. Get out of that wheelchair, Hawking, you complete fraud.
Speaker 2: As you perfectly said, I read that one and laughed
Speaker 2: my ass off as well. So many good times. All right. 407-916-1041.
Speaker 2: Text us 77031. Welcome back. I'm Jim. Deb, Jack, and
Speaker 2: Ross are here as well. Speaking of Deb, let's do
Speaker 2: You Heard It Here First.
Speaker 1: It's time for You Heard It Here First on the
Speaker 1: Jim Colbert Show.
Speaker 4: Like I said, a special place in hell for people
Speaker 4: like this. A man and woman are accused of burglarizing
Speaker 4: the Coral Gables home of a couple killed in a
Speaker 4: helicopter crash in Kenya. Police say Gabor Garcia and Melanie
Speaker 4: Perdomo stole luxury cars, expensive art, and other valuable items.
Speaker 4: The burglary was reported.
Speaker 2: By the housekeeper.
Speaker 4: On August 23rd, just four days after the deadly accident,
Speaker 4: thankfully investigators were able to find the suspects by tracking
Speaker 4: the location of a stolen MacBook and Range Rover. Charges
Speaker 4: include burglary and grand theft.
Speaker 13: Wow.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: One of three people accused in a murder-for-hire plot is
Speaker 4: being found guilty in Jacksonville. The jury has convicted Mario
Speaker 4: Fernandez-Saldana of arranging the shooting death of his wife's ex-husband,
Speaker 4: Microsoft executive Jared Breidegen. His widow, Kirsten, says it's a
Speaker 4: welcome verdict.
Speaker 9: Truth was seen in that courtroom. The jury saw that
Speaker 9: truth and they acted accordingly. And because of that, Mario
Speaker 9: Fernandez is a murderer and he will be put away
Speaker 9: for the rest of his life as he deserves.
Speaker 4: Now, the victim's former wife, Shana Gardner, is also charged
Speaker 4: with his murder and her trial will begin in September
Speaker 4: while a third Henry Tennant also awaits trial. Breitigan was
Speaker 4: shot dead in Jacksonville Beach in 2022 when he got
Speaker 4: out of his vehicle to remove a tire blocking the road.
Speaker 4: His two-year-old daughter was inside his car at the time.
Speaker 4: And then finally, country music superstar Garth Brooks is announcing
Speaker 4: back-to-back performances in Orlando as part of his Blame It
Speaker 4: All on My Roots arena tour. Two shows are scheduled
Speaker 4: at the Kia Center on September 25th and 26th. Tickets
Speaker 4: go on sale one week from today. You are not
Speaker 4: allowed to go to the one on September 26th. You

Speaker 3: She said, yeah, but all the tickets are one price.
Speaker 3: They're going to go so fast, we're never going to
Speaker 3: get a seat. I guess all the tickets are $ 154 regardless.
Speaker 2: Really? I repeat, you cannot go to the one on
Speaker 2: the 26th because you will be somewhere. Where am I
Speaker 2: going to be? What's going on? We already made the
