By 59 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: that was over almost two weeks. And and then you 60 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: know that one was a terrible one, and there you know, 61 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: it kept icing over, icing over.

I'd never heard of anything, 243 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: seen anything like that. I mean, I mean, those people have, 244 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: like I say, they don't pray enough, and they it 245 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 1: just happened. It just happened. And my daughter was in 246 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 1: the middle. But I remember, and I said her, I said, 247 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: but I'm thinking, here's the story on this banana deal. Okay, 248 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 1: you heard the guy that the guy that sold a 249 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: banana for six million dollars. Uh. Anyway, Uh, he has 250 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 1: a gallery out there. Well he sold here to a 251 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: crypto entrepreneur and uh, and he's he's in his studio. 252 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: The gallery is in the Venetian resort. And so I 253 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: guess this crypto guy came in there and and he 254 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: bought it.

You know, I hate the 392 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: title of that series that they gave The six million 393 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: Dollar Man, because you know, people are that said. I'll 394 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: never get away from that title, you know, and and 395 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: you know, people think I made a lot of money 396 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: on that show. We're talking way back, you know, in 397 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: the seventies. The big value was in the sixties, and 398 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: didn't I didn't get a penny from that. And it's 399 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: run reruns every day, but I don't get anything from that. 400 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: And because there were no residuals back then, and you know, 401 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: everything else was under a contractor universal and the deals 402 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: weren't very big. So you know, people, oh, read the 403 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: six million Dollar Man every time I hear in a 404 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: carange because I'm not the sixty dollar man you think, 405 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 1: you know. So, I'm still doing old comic cons here 406 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 1: and there that kind of pay the bills. 407 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 5: And anyway, I've never been to comic con, but I 408 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 5: am told by my friend Ken Webster, who does go 409 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 5: and who is one of these. I mean, he's really 410 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 5: really into it and he says that amazingly but not surprisingly, 411 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 5: you are one of the top draws to this day. 412 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 5: People love you at that event. 413 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: No, no, you know who's the top draw or less. 414 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 1: It's Weave Patten, my buddy, my friend. 415 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 5: I would believe that. I would believe that. 416 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know they so some of us say 417 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: so some of the stuff, you know, like I can't 418 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: remember what all his figures were, but you know, you 419 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 1: had a lot of memorabilia stuff, but actually stuff that 420 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: they used in the show. 421 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 5: And that's because Shatner has what you have and very 422 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 5: few people have, which is, no matter what you do, 423 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 5: it's cool and cool is not something you can you 424 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 5: can create or build or buy it.

It's a wonderful, wonderful world 437 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 5: we live in. It's a wonderful era, a golden age 438 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 5: or content creation and content consumption. You can always hear 439 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 5: any of our shows rebroadcast as a podcast. And if 440 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 5: you only get two hours of our show a day 441 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 5: and for some crazy reason you would like more, you can. 442 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 5: You'll see the time we do a morning show, and 443 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 5: then you're getting now what we air in the evening 444 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,719 Speaker 5: Central time. Five to seven were on delay in many markets, 445 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 5: and you can hear our morning show, which is eight 446 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 5: am to eleven am Central, and you'll just look at 447 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 5: the time and you'll see that. So if you listen 448 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:14,959 Speaker 5: to an evening show and you want to try out 449 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 5: our morning show, it's a little a little more relaxed. 450 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 5: We're a little more serious on this show, and the 451 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 5: reason is because people will ask, well you sound different. 452 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 5: The reason is when we started in radio nineteen years ago. 453 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 5: In a few years in once stations started picking us up, 454 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 5: it's the evening show format. A lot of our listeners 455 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 5: are in stations that were listening to at that time 456 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 5: Glenn back in the morning, Rush in the midday, and 457 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 5: then Hannity, and then we were coming on after that. 458 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 5: That listener was accustomed to a pretty serious show. Now 459 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 5: Rush Rush used humor. And that's the thing that bothers me. 460 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,239 Speaker 5: When people who don't like Rush the left, they make 461 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 5: him sound like a bitter, angry man. Rush was not 462 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:07,919 Speaker 5: bitter at all. Rush loved life. He had a zest 463 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 5: for life. He was a happy person all the while. 464 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 5: He was a joyful warrior. To use the less term, 465 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 5: but it's true. In the culture wars. He was a teacher. 466 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 5: He cared about people. You could hear it, you could 467 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 5: hear what he brought to the table every day. I 468 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:33,360 Speaker 5: have so much admiration for this man in his ministry, 469 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 5: and I do see it as a ministry. I don't 470 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 5: think you have to preach in a pulpit or have 471 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 5: congregants per se to be a minister. A person who ministers. 472 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 5: We talked earlier about nurses. I think nurses minister, I 473 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 5: think teachers, minister, I think a good parent ministers. I 474 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 5: think we think of parenting as providing a roof over 475 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 5: the head and a ride to the soccer game, But 476 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 5: is so much more to being a parent. Parents mold 477 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 5: us into who and what we are. I know mine did. 478 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 5: So I have a story for you in this our 479 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 5: last segment. All that was by way of saying, if 480 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 5: you don't already listen to our podcast, you can download them. 481 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 5: They're free. iHeart Spotify, iTunes, wherever else you get your podcast. 482 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 5: And by the way, if you've never listened to podcasts, 483 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 5: because people tell me every day they just discovered our 484 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 5: podcast and they just discovered the concept of podcasting. There 485 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 5: is such a wonderful world of content out there that 486 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 5: you would not believe. 487 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 2: You know, used to. 488 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 5: People will say that I'm in the radio business. Not 489 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 5: in the radio business. I'm in the entertainment business. And 490 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 5: other people will say, oh, I think that cheapens what 491 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 5: you do. 492 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no no no no. 493 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 5: Rush was in the entertainment business. There are a lot 494 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,479 Speaker 5: of people screaming into the microphone, and that's not very 495 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 5: entertaining in the sense that it's enjoyable, but it is 496 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 5: entertaining in the sense that some people like that. I mean, 497 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 5: there's been talk show hosts, and you know who they are, 498 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 5: most aren't around anymore. Who all they do is is 499 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 5: what I call angry white man radio. They just screamed, 500 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 5: there's mad at everybody all day long. I life's too short. 501 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 5: I got enough things to worry about that I don't 502 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 5: need to turn it on. And here's some guys scream 503 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 5: and holler and be mad all the time. Rush was 504 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 5: able to lay out what was going on and explain 505 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 5: makes sense of the crazy things that were going on 506 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 5: in the world, but do it in a way that 507 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 5: didn't make you want to take your own life or 508 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 5: drown yourself in a bottle. He did it in such 509 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 5: a way that we could learn to laugh at things 510 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 5: around us that we don't like. And many people never 511 00:28:54,280 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 5: grasp this. This life lesson and hear me out. When 512 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 5: you can laugh at something, you own what you laugh at. 513 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 5: When something makes you angry, that thing, person, idea, concept, 514 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 5: action owns you. Many people will never get that. They'll 515 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 5: argue with me, well, I'm never going to be happy 516 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 5: about the point at which you learn to laugh at 517 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 5: it is the point at which you exercise dominion over it. 518 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 5: When you tell me that this person comes on TV 519 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 5: and you get so mad that you have to turn 520 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 5: the TV and walk outside and yell at your dog 521 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 5: and kick your cat, that is the moment that you 522 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 5: have lost perspective and control over it. And I'll tell 523 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 5: you this, if you want to make a liberal mad, 524 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 5: you can argue with them, you can insult them, But 525 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 5: when you laugh at them, that's when they'll start swinging. 526 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 5: That's when they grow angry. Because the one thing the 527 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 5: left cannot do is laugh at themselves. They are which 528 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 5: is one of the worst insults you can ever hurl. 529 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 5: They are humorless. I often say, if you have no sight, 530 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 5: you are blind. That's a sense that you do not possess. 531 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 5: If you have no hearing, you are deaf. It's a 532 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 5: sense that you lack. You cannot speak, you are dumb. 533 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 5: We don't use the term dumb anymore, but that's where 534 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 5: what it meant meant you were mute because you lack 535 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 5: that sense. You lack that well. If you do not 536 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 5: see humor where it naturally exists, it's fertile ground. For it, 537 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 5: and you are humorless. The left is humorless. And the 538 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 5: unfortunate thing is many people on our side of the 539 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 5: aisle have become equally humorless and powerless are so they 540 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 5: believe to not be humorless. The moment you tell me 541 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 5: but Michael, I can't laugh at Joe Biden because he 542 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 5: ruined this country. The moment you laugh is the moment 543 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 5: you can deal with it. And if I can't get 544 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 5: that through to you, if you cannot understand that, if 545 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 5: you really give it some thought and you cannot understand it, 546 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 5: then I'm going to keep trying because that was Russia's goal, 547 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 5: and that's why I brought Rush up. A great leader 548 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 5: of a movement uses humor. That's why people underestimate the 549 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 5: influence of stand up comics. They're very powerful. Kat Williams 550 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 5: can make some incredibly deep points while making you laugh. 551 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 5: A lot of a lot of the great comics that 552 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 5: you know had social Unfortunately most of them were liberals, 553 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 5: but they were very influential. By making people laugh, you're 554 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 5: also making people think. I do enjoy your emails.
