Speaker 2: I love you, Bobby, say that I missed you, Bobby.
Speaker 2: I've been on the road. I've been on the road
Speaker 2: with Dave Chappelle and Tiffany Haddich. We were in Charlotte,
Speaker 2: North Carolina. Charlotte, North Carolina, you were the greatest place
Speaker 2: that I've been on the road since that's not That's
Speaker 2: not this credit any other cities. Charlotte just had some
Speaker 2: kind of magic about it. And then the next day
Speaker 2: I went to Saint Louis with Tiffany Hadi. Saint Louis,
Speaker 2: you were fantastic. Then I was in Atlanta with the pageant.
Speaker 2: I did an interview with Comedy Height magazine with Siphony.
Speaker 2: You guys, go listen to this on YouTube, the big
Speaker 2: one that's coming out in a week. And now I'm

Speaker 2: Friday and hamm and casino and Saturday, I am finally
Speaker 2: able to say I can go home and do coffee
Speaker 2: time in my window with my bad blind that you
Speaker 2: guys love to point out.
Speaker 1: It's been gorgeous here. We had beautiful weather for five days.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if it's a PC term anymore,
Speaker 1: but we used to call it an Indian summer when
Speaker 1: the summer came like well after summertime. We had eighty
Speaker 1: five degrees for five days, and now right now it
Speaker 1: is thirty six degrees. So all of a sudden, Halloween
Speaker 1: hit yesterday and it came in with a bang. Fall
Speaker 1: came right in with it. It is Chile, and I
Speaker 1: guess the whole country been has been having some sort
Speaker 1: of something going on with the weather. You know, there's
Speaker 1: no global warming.
Speaker 2: You heard. The weather is got the country crazy and
Speaker 2: people just crazy period. We did not come on vast
Speaker 2: week late Jon because I was traveling, but we do
Speaker 2: want to come on, and so I'm gonna come on
Speaker 2: with the syrup this week. I'm feeling it's heavy and
Speaker 2: it's still very prevalent, and the syrup is heavy from
Speaker 2: prayers to all the people affected by the tragedy and
Speaker 2: the senseless murders that happened in Maine last week. It
Speaker 2: was just barbaric and I don't even know what words
Speaker 2: to say, but prayers to all the children who lost parents,
Speaker 2: all the parents who lost children, all the family members
Speaker 2: who lost other family members. It was so tragic, and
Speaker 2: so said, I don't even know if I ever got
Speaker 2: to the root of the Storybobby, but I do know
Speaker 2: that they apparently found a god with a self inflicted
Speaker 2: gum rong dead. It just yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: We have according to Axius and BBC, they were giving
Speaker 1: out some numbers and we have had in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: Hold on to your socks, and I really do mean,
Speaker 1: I shouldn't even make light of it. Five hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty five mass shootings. It's marking the third the third
Speaker 1: consecutive year that the nation has surpassed five hundred and
Speaker 1: through September. So that doesn't even include the Lewiston people
Speaker 1: that were killed, the eighteen that were killed, five hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy one dead and nineteen on one hundred and
Speaker 1: forty seven wounded. It is absolutely crazy. I think we're
Speaker 1: going to have a lot more information as they start
Speaker 1: to peel back the onion With the Lewiston case. He
Speaker 1: was a reservist who was also a trainer, you know,
Speaker 1: with with guns. Spend time over the summer doing his training.
Speaker 1: The Army pulled him from that sent him for two
Speaker 1: weeks into a mental facility because he was having They
Speaker 1: were free, he was going to harm himself or other people.
Speaker 1: And for some reason talk about needing gun reform. The
Speaker 1: legal system or the system that they have set up
Speaker 1: for guns in Maine. They don't have the red flag.
Speaker 1: And red flag is when you could say, for one
Speaker 1: of your kids' flame, or your mom or your brothers
Speaker 1: or whatever, you could say they're having some sort of episode,
Speaker 1: you know, tell authorities and they'll take those weapons away
Speaker 1: from them. They don't have that. They had to lobby
Speaker 1: with the gun people and they got something called yellow flag.
Speaker 1: And the yellow flag is not as strict as the
Speaker 1: red flag. Uh, it means there's more bureaucracy with it.
Speaker 1: So you have to have a medical provider or somebody
Speaker 1: that's official make that standing. But he had two weeks
Speaker 1: in in the hospital. So why somebody somebody there that
Speaker 1: the information that was there because I saw on I
Speaker 1: believe it was on CNN. The army did say that
Speaker 1: he should not be allowed to have a weapon. Why
Speaker 1: didn't somebody go and get that. I don't understand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the part of that story that bothered me
Speaker 2: the absolute most barbing them. Was mind barger that the
Speaker 2: news even shared the fact that this man was a
Speaker 2: weapons trainer, he's in the Army reserve. And then they
Speaker 2: had on record that he had been to issues, So
Speaker 2: why even have him still in that position? And they
Speaker 2: only put him in there for two weeks. They didn't
Speaker 2: say were and he came back to work or that.
Speaker 2: It's almost like, dude, who's stupid us or y'all.
Speaker 1: I don't know he was. They did say that he couldn't,
Speaker 1: that he was on I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: what the right word is. I think it's more of
Speaker 1: a medical leaf flame. I can't say he was suspended,
Speaker 1: but he needed help. They felt that he needed some
Speaker 1: sort of help, is what I've read so far. But
Speaker 1: it's almost like he fell through the cracks. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand's doing.
Speaker 1: The family right along, you and I have spoken about
Speaker 1: this as it was happening, had informed him, had informed
Speaker 1: the authority, so that this guy needed help. You know,
Speaker 1: he he has you know, flown off the edge. Now
Speaker 1: they're trying to say that the catalyst for this is
Speaker 1: back in February when his girlfriend broke up with him.
Speaker 1: I don't. I think that might have just been the
Speaker 1: last draw. But I think if you've got mental issues,
Speaker 1: you got mental issues. It's not it's not just a girlfriend.
Speaker 2: Yeah, whatever, whatever it is, he stole and affected, He
Speaker 2: stole eighteenized and affected so many more, right right, because yes,
Speaker 2: because you don't dad, don't mean that you're not gonna
Speaker 2: have nightmares or track. This was just a barbaric tragic
Speaker 2: and I don't want them with sugarcoated. And I just
Speaker 2: couldn't understand how they couldn't have caught him soon or
Speaker 2: found him. So because here's the thing, we can see
Speaker 2: what he's he doing from down here. You mean to
Speaker 2: tell me with all the heat senses and dogs and
Speaker 2: all of the the drones, y'all couldn't find this man?
Speaker 1: Well they I do. I do want to. You know,
Speaker 1: Like California is a little bit different than it is
Speaker 1: here in New England. So because we've had a superfic
Speaker 1: we're talking about it being warm, right, we have had
Speaker 1: a really warm summer, the warmest in history actually up
Speaker 1: in New England. The leaves haven't fallen off the trees
Speaker 1: claim so it was hard to get drowne in that
Speaker 1: could actually get the tree exactly. We just had. I
Speaker 1: think I sent you a picture of a tree right
Speaker 1: this week, they've all they're all everything has. If that
Speaker 1: had happened this week, I think they might have had
Speaker 1: a quicker outcome because all the leaves are stunting to fall,
Speaker 1: so it would make it a little easier the heat
Speaker 1: seeking stuff. I agree with that, but it's it's super
Speaker 1: tricky in these super heavily wooded areas. So I can't
Speaker 1: I can't you know, on that, I can't give them
Speaker 1: the thumbs down, but disappointed I can the thumbs down
Speaker 1: for me is main doesn't have doesn't require background checks
Speaker 1: on the on the sales of guns. They don't have
Speaker 1: a red red flag. They have the that yellow that
Speaker 1: I just told you. They don't prevent domestic abusers from
Speaker 1: accessing guns. They don't ban assault weapons. They they don't
Speaker 1: limit magazine capacity, they don't require concealed carry permits. They
Speaker 1: they don't restrict open carry, and they don't have a
Speaker 1: waiting period.
Speaker 2: So well, they need some of that. Some of that
Speaker 2: is going to have to be reformed, and I understand
Speaker 2: why some of it is not because they have a
Speaker 2: lot of nature, and especially in that area, So you
Speaker 2: have to have a weapon to stop a damn moose.
Speaker 2: But yep, something has to be done, something has to
Speaker 2: be reformed, because, like you said, Bobby, there's no wait
Speaker 2: limit or anything. There's no no, no, no license needed
Speaker 2: for the long gun. You stop a moose, you don't
Speaker 2: stop people. You stop a buffalo, you don't stop people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I agree. I don't know. I don't understand
Speaker 1: the assault weapons. They do have a congressman up there,
Speaker 1: Jared Golden, who is actually was in the Marine Corps himself,
Speaker 1: who voted to He was one of the people that
Speaker 1: helped negotiate. I guess what the system that they have
Speaker 1: up there now. And he said he's counting from own
Speaker 1: self for for accountability that he was actually wrong with
Speaker 1: the stuff that they put into place. So and he's
Speaker 1: changing his stance on al assault weapons.
Speaker 2: So, you know, and prayers, prayers, and Gods, God please
Speaker 2: touch that area because it's so in all these affected areas.
Speaker 2: My big fear about whenever I see stuff like the
Speaker 2: mass shootings, Bobby, I'm always worried about the copycat effect.
Speaker 2: I'm always a worried about what kid is watching this
Speaker 2: now or what man or woman because they don't have
Speaker 2: to be A man's watching this down and say, oh,
Speaker 2: I want to make history. So if this one Q eighteen,
Speaker 2: I got that, I'll do this one. I got to
Speaker 2: kill twenty five. It's just good. Even over the.
Speaker 1: Weekend they had eleven more over the weekend Indianapolis, there
Speaker 1: was one I think it's called Yaibor in Florida. It's
Speaker 1: a part of Tampa. They had another shooting where two
Speaker 1: were dead, sixteen injured. Chicago's West Side had fifteen people shot.
Speaker 1: I mean, what you're stating, it's already happening. You know,
Speaker 1: you already have a bunch of other people. We didn't
Speaker 1: even get to report on this, and just over the weekend.
Speaker 1: Look how much never mind with the holiday yesterday, how
Speaker 1: much craziness was probably out there. But I mean he did.
Speaker 1: They did find him with self inflicted wound by the
Speaker 1: recycling plant, which I guess fired him. He shot up
Speaker 1: the places that he used to go with the girlfriend. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so sad. I feel one of them was a fourteen
Speaker 1: year older and there was a sixteen year older that
Speaker 1: was shot. But he seems to be He's in a
Speaker 1: Boston hospital and he seems to be doing okay so far.
Speaker 1: I don't know about the psych portion of it, how
Speaker 1: he'll do that way, but he seems like he's physically
Speaker 1: he's healing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh still a fair Bobby. So scared it is
Speaker 2: to all the families and the children. I watched that story,
Speaker 2: and this is what made me know that, Yep, we
Speaker 2: all have We may all have and I'm not saying
Speaker 2: we all have, but we may all have some some
Speaker 2: of racist or some sense of prejudice in some sort
Speaker 2: of way. But when I said it in my being,
Speaker 2: and I watched that story un photo MSNBC, and I'm
Speaker 2: not talking about the actual story, but I was talking
Speaker 2: about when they were to actually talk about the victims,
Speaker 2: the parents, and they were thinking they were showing the
Speaker 2: pictures of those dads with their children and those people
Speaker 2: who died with their kids and their kids. It just
Speaker 2: really bothered me, Bobby. That removed all the titles, removed
Speaker 2: the color of my skin, remove the religion, and we're
Speaker 2: all Americans, but we don't see that. It really bothered me.
Speaker 2: I was in tears, almost in tears, Bobby, just like
Speaker 2: I was when they killed all the black people at
Speaker 2: the grocery store over there in New York. It just
Speaker 2: it's just people, you know, and those people belonged to somebody.
Speaker 2: Everybody's life matters and.
Speaker 1: Doing regular stuffling like, there wasn't anything here that was
Speaker 1: I mean, you and I can't go out and go
Speaker 1: bowling at a bowling tournament. You can't go out for
Speaker 1: a burger on a Friday night. I mean, you can't
Speaker 1: these not There's no risky behavior here.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: It's not like you're at two in the morning, you're
Speaker 1: out and god knows what even then you should nothing
Speaker 1: should happen. But there was absolutely no risk risky behavior.
Speaker 1: It is devastating. I feel terrible for the community. I
Speaker 1: saw that James Taylor actually went up to the kids'
Speaker 1: football I think he was trying to perk them up
Speaker 1: football game. They had some big tournament and he's saying
Speaker 1: that the Star Spangled banner, so that was sort of nice.
Speaker 1: They're getting a little they're getting a little noticed. So
Speaker 1: anything that's going to try to help them heal it
Speaker 1: or or try to take the stigma off, because I
Speaker 1: don't know how you live in that community and it's
Speaker 1: a big college community as well, and you're not looking
Speaker 1: over your shoulder the whole time.
Speaker 2: Oh you mentioned James Taylor. Myself by James Taylor is operate.
Speaker 2: I love operating.
Speaker 1: He's getting honest to God flavor. It's like a mirror
Speaker 1: of he's getting older. He did all right, but he
Speaker 1: wasn't that James Taylor singing of old. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're all getting old the right hated, but he did well.
Speaker 1: And I agree with you the prayers out, I feel
Speaker 1: like that's all we do is we're praying for people
Speaker 1: on this podcast. But but we are we feel you know,
Speaker 1: this is this is horrific, so.
Speaker 2: And this and since we're already there again, we're not
Speaker 2: going to discuss the war, but we wanted some prayers
Speaker 2: out to Israel as well as PALASTI were as stupid. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 2: we do not agree with the war. I do not
Speaker 2: agree with the war. That is my thing is I
Speaker 2: don't know Bobby stands, but I know Bobby does not
Speaker 2: like war. But we do not agree with the war.
Speaker 2: And I'm not getting in the middle of the conversation,
Speaker 2: but prayers to all the people involved over there, especially
Speaker 2: the very very innocent.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I'm right with you and a few people I mean,
Speaker 1: the only thing that we can talk about that would
Speaker 1: be positive is there have been a few people that
Speaker 1: have been that have been released. So we had a
Speaker 1: few Americans, we had a few, a few Israelis. I
Speaker 1: know that they're negotiations. Blincoln got something done in Biden
Speaker 1: where they're going to allow they're going to allow some
Speaker 1: of the people to start coming home, the Americans and
Speaker 1: a few others, get them over into their own countries.
Speaker 1: The people that don't belong there get them out, which
Speaker 1: to me makes the you know, as long as the
Speaker 1: other side isn't shooting us down, it kind of makes
Speaker 1: the most sense to get everybody back or they want
Speaker 1: to Your vacation is over, folks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, after that, Okay, what we're going by, we're going to.
Speaker 1: We are going politics. So just on that note, speaking
Speaker 1: about that war, in the Ukraine War, Biden's requested a
Speaker 1: one oh six billion emergency funding package, where fourteen billion
Speaker 1: would go to the Israel conflict, sixty one would go
Speaker 1: to Ukraine's war, ten billion would go towards humanitarian aid
Speaker 1: for the refugees and the people who are who have
Speaker 1: been losing out. You know, in between all the wars
Speaker 1: and thirteen billion to border security, and oh then the
Speaker 1: last is ten billion to Taiwan and the Indo Pacific.
Speaker 1: The Democratics are passing the package on its merits right now,
Speaker 1: but just because everything is in such a crisis and
Speaker 1: Republicans say that it's throwing money at the border, they're
Speaker 1: stuck on the border as one of the places they
Speaker 1: want to have a different fix for the immigration issues,
Speaker 1: which the immigration has been going on since the beginning
Speaker 1: of time. Flame, I don't know, you're not going to
Speaker 1: fix it on the whole.
Speaker 2: Money sism immigrants.
Speaker 1: I am. I'm only second generation, you know, so I'm
Speaker 1: not even My grandparents are the ones that came over.
Speaker 1: So I can't even say that I've been. I feel
Speaker 1: really like an immigrant, you know. I saw the immigrants
Speaker 1: and how they fought and how they worked. You know,
Speaker 1: I still have the scar from it in a positive way.
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't understand, but that's where it's
Speaker 1: being held up. We'll pray for them as well, Sweet
Speaker 1: and Mary, see if we can get some of this money.
Speaker 2: I know that they are in negotiations about giving up
Speaker 2: their money to buy what has the Speaker of the
Speaker 2: house there, Oh, we don't have one.
Speaker 1: We finally, so we get that nut bag. That's a
Speaker 1: whole other, that's a whole other, you know, kettle of fish.
Speaker 2: I don't know what the heck we don't have one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no one that's willing to work. You know who
Speaker 1: they who? They ended up getting put into place. He
Speaker 1: just doesn't seem he walks around with his Bible. He
Speaker 1: believes that you can pray it away for the love
Speaker 1: of God. You know, I don't know. I'm hoping that
Speaker 1: he can sort of remove himself or what his needs
Speaker 1: are and get to the work of what the people are.
Speaker 1: We've got to you know, we've got to pass our budget,
Speaker 1: you know, the gut. It's going to shut down in
Speaker 1: so many days. So I'm hoping to Jesus that uh,
Speaker 1: that he can he can get something done. Fingers that
Speaker 1: chows crossed. We haven't heard anything yet.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, while we are in the house, you know,
Speaker 2: they voted today to try to have George Santos removed
Speaker 2: and he is He's still in his position even with
Speaker 2: all the lads of this country is innocent and proved
Speaker 2: until proven guilty. How about he is guilty as and
Speaker 2: busted and they will not get rid of him. Okay,
Speaker 2: I need you to explain that to me. Boy I
Speaker 2: count but.
Speaker 1: They needed two thirds majority and and and fortunately they
Speaker 1: fell short. The final vote was one seventy nine to
Speaker 1: two thirteen, So I don't And only five times have
Speaker 1: they ever expelled, you know, a representative, and the last
Speaker 1: was two thousand and two. It was a Democrat, James
Speaker 1: traffick Ant I think it was his name, and he
Speaker 1: was convicted, convicted of ten felony counts. I'm hoping that
Speaker 1: the fact that they even tried it the once, uh,
Speaker 1: that that they'll push it along. It was done only
Speaker 1: at the end of last week, I believe, uh, And
Speaker 1: it's sort of hot off the press, and they didn't
Speaker 1: get it done today. I don't understand. The only thing
Speaker 1: that I can think of flame is that he hasn't
Speaker 1: been convicted yet. He's been indicted, you know, and accused
Speaker 1: of and that's what he's hanging He's hanging on like
Speaker 1: one of those cats with their fingernails, just you know,
Speaker 1: digging in so they don't get pulled back, saying that
Speaker 1: he's innocent. He has never had a chance to even
Speaker 1: to prove his innocence and blah blah, blah blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. So I don't know if that's going to
Speaker 1: be it. If that's the reason, I kind of imagine
Speaker 1: every Democrat wouldn't have wouldn't have jumped on board that.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's an embarrassment. For the love of God.
Speaker 2: Well, well, the Republicans to hold him in there because
Speaker 2: he's holding a power position, that's all that is by Clippy,
Speaker 2: you know that, because they don't want his aft. He's
Speaker 2: like you said, he's an embarrassing I can't but I
Speaker 2: can't imagine.
Speaker 1: I don't know all the ins and outs of what
Speaker 1: the rules are for replacing him, but I would think,
Speaker 1: just like when Feinstein passed that the governor or there's
Speaker 1: somebody else that could put somebody could put somebody in
Speaker 1: to replace him. I don't know, but I think it
Speaker 1: said they don't get right, they don't want to give
Speaker 1: up the seat. I don't know if they can do
Speaker 1: the same thing, you know, in the with with his
Speaker 1: position as they did when someone passes another Chucola.
Speaker 2: And we still haven't heard from LGBT community, because not
Speaker 2: only is he an embarrassment to the Republican Party and
Speaker 2: enter the country, but he represents LGBT qui ava and
Speaker 2: we haven't heard from him seeing anything in a negative
Speaker 2: consentation and he positive. Yeah, I'm not saying that he's
Speaker 2: anti gay, but he is. He was back Santos, who
Speaker 2: is don't say gay Biel and no drag shows.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I mean, I don't. I haven't heard anybody.
Speaker 1: I haven't. They've been very quiet period with him. I
Speaker 1: haven't heard yay we love him or no, we hate him.
Speaker 1: He certainly wasn't doing anything that was that was help
Speaker 1: in the community. Uh so, I don't know. Another disgrace
Speaker 1: is that that New Jersey he's a Democratic Senator Menendez.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, him his wife was getting over paul lice.
Speaker 1: Allegedly and that's what he said. So he went to
Speaker 1: Uh So, that's it's something to think about. Do you
Speaker 1: have or should they when you're indicted of something like
Speaker 1: that of helping another foreign country, did you have your
Speaker 1: security clearance lowered or taken away? Because he went to
Speaker 1: the Ukraine briefing today he didn't go to Israel after
Speaker 1: a conversation with Chuck Schum Schumer and he said the
Speaker 1: Chuck Schuman didn't tell me not to go. He was
Speaker 1: like a little child when CNN kind of went up
Speaker 1: to him. But should you have you know, when when
Speaker 1: you're colluding with the enemy, so to speak, or with
Speaker 1: another country, should you have your security clearance lowered?
Speaker 2: He didn't.
Speaker 1: He got he got in and he got information about Ukraine,
Speaker 1: but he certainly didn't get it about the Middle East,
Speaker 1: which I sort of liked Israel. But I mean, somebody
Speaker 1: has to do something with him as well. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't want to give up a position plane, but
Speaker 1: I don't want him representing the United States. He's not
Speaker 1: in my state, but I wouldn't want him representing me.
Speaker 1: He's a fool. He and his wife and how they've
Speaker 1: been allowed in when this stuff is they it's kind
Speaker 1: of been brought to light before. I don't know.
Speaker 2: And they got Oh my god, they get they so much.
Speaker 2: They just you think about the homeless and the poor
Speaker 2: in his country, and then you think about the greed
Speaker 2: from some of these people, and it's just out of control.
Speaker 2: It's terrible, Bobby, and.
Speaker 1: They do it in plain sight. It's I don't think
Speaker 1: these people, any of them, anybody like George Santos all
Speaker 1: of his lies. He admitted that he lied you know,
Speaker 1: like they're doing it in plain sight and we're not
Speaker 1: calling them on it. I just don't. I don't. It's
Speaker 1: sort of like the Lewiston saying as well, like people
Speaker 1: said that he shouldn't be you know, he shouldn't have
Speaker 1: a weapon, and we're not. Nobody's there's no follow up
Speaker 1: or follow through, but we need to We certainly need
Speaker 1: to figure it out because we needed to clean it
Speaker 1: up and have people that are actually working for us. Now.
Speaker 1: I would love to say he was like a Robin
Speaker 1: Hood flame George Santos, and so he might be a liar,
Speaker 1: but my god, all this good that he's done for,
Speaker 1: done for everybody hasn't done anything because the whole focus
Speaker 1: is but on him and all of his misdeeds. What
Speaker 1: he thinks he can do for his people in New York.
Speaker 1: I have no idea. He's a he's a complete bozo.
Speaker 2: Well he came, he came in that state, that position
Speaker 2: on his own. The powers that be are surrounding him
Speaker 2: and keeping him in that position by so yeah, yeh
Speaker 2: yeh yeh where.
Speaker 1: We oh you know what, No, this is in politics,
Speaker 1: but I'm just I just was curious if you've seen
Speaker 1: it did you see that the ABC anchors TJ. Holmes
Speaker 1: and Amy Robock are returning to the air with a
Speaker 1: podcast Nothing is off Limits? I think they're stealing your
Speaker 1: If you're not afraid to ask, I'm all for a answer.
Speaker 1: I just should we be all in people's business. If
Speaker 1: you haven't an affair, does the public really care?
Speaker 2: Well? I didn't care that they were having one of ABC.
Speaker 2: In fact, I was familiar with seeing that they were
Speaker 2: familiar basis on good Going America to me, and I
Speaker 2: like the familiarity of getting my news from somebody that
Speaker 2: I was comfortable seeing, just like I missed Chris Crmo
Speaker 2: for that same reason. But if ABC has a strict
Speaker 2: frienditizing policy, but you can't tell the heart or the
Speaker 2: body what it wants because when it wants, it wants it.
Speaker 2: I just I don't know if they got if they
Speaker 2: publicized it too much, or if they were just be
Speaker 2: inspired or who knows, But hats off to them for
Speaker 2: at least coming back to work. Hopefully the podcast will
Speaker 2: be successful, because some people is going to rub in
Speaker 2: the wrong way that they're together, and for so many
Speaker 2: different reasons, even in twenty twenty three, for so many
Speaker 2: different reasons.
Speaker 1: They're a cute couple.
Speaker 2: I mean, Bobby, you took the words out of their mouth.
Speaker 2: They were a cue. They are a q couple.
Speaker 1: They really are, I said, because they're they're doing some
Speaker 1: of the the marketing for the podcast, and they just
Speaker 1: they kind of they just fit, if that makes any sense.
Speaker 1: They just look they look adorable.
Speaker 2: I'm sure, I'm sure.
Speaker 1: But so hats off to them. I just saw that
Speaker 1: there were a few things that I just saw just
Speaker 1: as we were getting ready on. So here's here's another
Speaker 1: thing I'm going to ask you, being on more of
Speaker 1: the celebrity side, do you think that people should make
Speaker 1: comments about other people's children? Paris Hilton, her kid does
Speaker 1: have a large squash. What can I say? But she's
Speaker 1: had a lot of haters that have been really picking
Speaker 1: on her baby, and she's sort of been clapping back.
Speaker 1: And I think, should we make comments about people's kids,
Speaker 1: Does it make a difference, should they be off limits
Speaker 1: because the kids aren't asking to be famous?
Speaker 2: So what they call the baby he and molt he
Speaker 2: got more then he got body.
Speaker 1: He really I don't think. I think he's gonna have
Speaker 1: a tough time sitting up. He's gonna fall over with
Speaker 1: that head.
Speaker 2: We'll grow into exactly he'll grow into or or he'll
Speaker 2: be Pat saved yet. Yeah, because the reading Pat Sajack
Speaker 2: got the job on the Will Fortune. I remember him
Speaker 2: the State to telling the story that MERV Gripper said
Speaker 2: that he thought that people with big heads were more
Speaker 2: successful on TV. And Pat Thinkjack has had that job.
Speaker 2: But how many forty plus years?
Speaker 1: It's true, it's true?
Speaker 2: So it is it is. I hear what you're saying
Speaker 2: about the kids. But you know, after tru nothing has
Speaker 2: been off limits to say about anybody because as a
Speaker 2: president of these United States, he was allowed to get
Speaker 2: away with saying anything and everything about all types of people,
Speaker 2: people with disabilities and people with physical and so you know,
Speaker 2: is it wrong? Is it right? Or were you given
Speaker 2: a green light because your leader did it and he
Speaker 2: didn't get reprimanded for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just think that, like we're so involved in
Speaker 1: people's personal Like the other thing that I saw that
Speaker 1: came out, and I thought, who kias for me? Who
Speaker 1: kills Meryl Streep and her husband of forty five years
Speaker 1: they've been living apart separately for sex. I don't think
Speaker 1: that they're like divorced. I think that we do better
Speaker 1: if you live in that house and I live in
Speaker 1: this house. And oh my god, the comments people were
Speaker 1: making and they were up in arms, and I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: kiss if it works for them and they're happy after
Speaker 1: forty years of living together, they decided these last so
Speaker 1: many years they want to live. Who are we the
Speaker 1: public to put in on someone's marriage. I just it's
Speaker 1: sort of like the TJ. Holmes and abing robots. I
Speaker 1: don't care as long as you're not doing something to
Speaker 1: me and you're doing your job. Well, I just don't
Speaker 1: understand why people think they have they have the right
Speaker 1: to make so many comments about people, and why we
Speaker 1: have to be.
Speaker 2: So people's business because we're on the outset looking in
Speaker 2: and we want more what it is, that's all, that's
Speaker 2: all we want more.
Speaker 1: Well, I can tell you I don't want it like
Speaker 1: I got. I got my own problems. For the love
Speaker 1: of God, I can't be I couldn't make my marriage
Speaker 1: work for two point three seconds. Never mind this broad
Speaker 1: has forty six years of marriage. God bless her.
Speaker 2: Well, I think that because we don't know the in
Speaker 2: the workings of their marriage like you see it, maybe
Speaker 2: that we still love each other, but we don't like
Speaker 2: to live in I can't change your pet peeves, and
Speaker 2: after thirty five years of marriage, I'm sticking you leading
Speaker 2: the toilet feed up. That don't mean I want to
Speaker 2: divorce you. I just don't want to live in the
Speaker 2: same house at you. Now. That don't mean I don't
Speaker 2: spend a night at your house three or four nights
Speaker 2: out the week, but I go home to my own
Speaker 2: house for my own sanity. That might be keeping their
Speaker 2: marriage together. But you know, people will be ready to like, oh,
Speaker 2: I think is stupid, and I will, well, what you
Speaker 2: think and what's happening in my marriage ain't got shit
Speaker 2: to do with me.
Speaker 1: Well, I want to say, how's your marriage?
Speaker 2: Most of the comments, most of the comments are probably
Speaker 2: don't even have a marriage. That's that's the killer right there.
Speaker 1: I can't even I kind of but I just thought,
Speaker 1: I keep seeing like a trend that's coming over and
Speaker 1: over and I know it's not what we usually do.
Speaker 1: We talk more politics, But I thought, I am when
Speaker 1: do we become a community that our society that needs
Speaker 1: to make a comment about everything everybody else is doing,
Speaker 1: Like you know, Jada Pinkett Smith, right, so she's going
Speaker 1: to put all her business out. I don't care. I
Speaker 1: won't be buying the book. I don't want to be
Speaker 1: in your marriage. Take me off the group text. I
Speaker 1: don't want. I don't need to know. So you guys
Speaker 1: work it out yourselves. Blush your little hearts. I don't
Speaker 1: need as much information as you think I'm interested. I'm
Speaker 1: not interested.
Speaker 2: And all the people who saying that she ain't making money,
Speaker 2: that book is number three on the New York Times
Speaker 2: Bestseller Oh God bless her.
Speaker 1: Oh she she'd make money. And so you don't know
Speaker 1: about this stuff is hyped for the books and for sales,
Speaker 1: and I just think, oh, I just don't want to
Speaker 1: know anymore. But I want them both to do well.
Speaker 1: I want them to be successful. I think that they
Speaker 1: are both incredibly talented at what they do, and I
Speaker 1: will go to the box office and watch them. But
Speaker 1: I really don't care what's happening in their household as
Speaker 1: long as anyone's getting hurt.
Speaker 2: I think they belong together personally.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes a match is made, right, But back to
Speaker 1: more politic y stuff. I saw that the economy rose
Speaker 1: four point nine percent whoop, whoop last quarter you know,
Speaker 1: with all the FEDS measures, they decided today that they're
Speaker 1: going to hold interest rates down for now. But US Americans,
Speaker 1: it's funny. I'm not an economist, so I don't really
Speaker 1: get it. But the more we spend, it's going to
Speaker 1: get some trouble because it's not slowing things down, so
Speaker 1: they want to keep inflation down, so they're holding it
Speaker 1: for now.
Speaker 2: I'm maybe I'll get it next morning, because that must
Speaker 2: have missed it me either.
Speaker 1: But if the the country is doing better, it's crawling
Speaker 1: back flame, But it is. It's the trajectory prior to
Speaker 1: all of the nonsense like with Israel and stuff that's
Speaker 1: gone on, it has been climbing up, you know, in
Speaker 1: the in the right direction. Let's just put it that way.
Speaker 1: You know, the economic growth, the annualized rate is two
Speaker 1: point one, so it's still a positive sign. It's not great.
Speaker 1: It will be nice if it was like fifteen percent,
Speaker 1: but I'll take I'll take what we have. I also
Speaker 1: saw that do you remember Representative Jamal Bowman. He was
Speaker 1: the guy that were had to go in and have
Speaker 1: the vote for for shutting the country down or not,
Speaker 1: and he couldn't get in, so he pulled the fire alarm.
Speaker 1: He's getting he's getting dinged. He has to pay a fine.
Speaker 1: When they when they reviewed the case, they didn't think
Speaker 1: there was any malice. He wasn't trying to hold up
Speaker 1: the vote or anything. He just was a stupidhead. He
Speaker 1: wanted to get into the building and couldn't figure another way,
Speaker 1: you know, another door to get in. So he is.
Speaker 1: They put him on three months probation. As long as
Speaker 1: he doesn't do anything again that that that will go away.
Speaker 1: And he has to pay the fine for having the
Speaker 1: police in the fire and everybody to shoot up another thing.
Speaker 1: That's a little old, But I wanted to get your take.
Speaker 1: Being a frequent flyer, what do you think about the
Speaker 1: pilot that that was trying to bring down the flight
Speaker 1: that used psychedelic mushrooms forty eight hours before before the
Speaker 1: flight do you think, I mean, they're not going to
Speaker 1: be able to sit in the jump seat anymore and
Speaker 1: get a free get a free ride. I just can
Speaker 1: you imagine if you took down the plane because he
Speaker 1: was depressed, he probably took the mushrooms because he's depressed.
Speaker 1: That's a new thing, it's a new treatment.
Speaker 2: I've never taken a fact of their mushroms. I don't
Speaker 2: I don't know, and I don't know the lingering effect.
Speaker 2: But here's the thing. You had sense enough to go
Speaker 2: get on the plane, right, You had sense enough to
Speaker 2: go and stick calm and get on that jump steat.
Speaker 2: You had sense enough to fool all those people and
Speaker 2: go through security. And because because they still have to
Speaker 2: do all of that, they sell to take off. Well,
Speaker 2: they may not have to take off their shoes. But
Speaker 2: you had sense enough to do all of that. But
Speaker 2: then when you get on the plane and you don't
Speaker 2: have any sense, girl missing me with that, I'm not
Speaker 2: bad about it. You can't sell that to me. I
Speaker 2: just cannot buy that because when I thought about that
Speaker 2: whole situation, and I've been traveling so much, and I
Speaker 2: know what it entails to just get to the plane.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about security lines and dog sniffing and taking
Speaker 2: off your shoes and belts and putting your arms up
Speaker 2: and being pat down. But then you still get the
Speaker 2: sanity and the to go through all there. And then
Speaker 2: but now it's so all of a sudden, you get
Speaker 2: to our plane and you're in saying, almost, let me
Speaker 2: see it for real, nigga please.
Speaker 1: I mean, his life is going to be over because
Speaker 1: he's being charged in eighty three accounts of attempted murder.
Speaker 1: I don't know how you come back from that plane.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about getting a job. He won't even be
Speaker 1: able to sweep the floors at the airport, you know,
Speaker 1: when it's all over, I wouldn't think so, I don't
Speaker 1: know what. I don't know what in the world what
Speaker 1: he was thinking of. But I'm glad nobody got hurt.
Speaker 1: I almost I almost had a stroke on it because
Speaker 1: I'm not a great flyer to begin with.
Speaker 2: But I thought Robbie and I am so ain'tal now where,
Speaker 2: not even now, because I think I've talked about this
Speaker 2: on coffee dawn before. When we land, if the carpet
Speaker 2: is open, and the pilots, because sometimes they come out,
Speaker 2: sometimes they don't. I'm always thank you for a safe flight.
Speaker 2: Thank you for a safe flight because at that moment
Speaker 2: olives in the driver's hands.
Speaker 1: It's the truth. And thank you for not taking my
Speaker 1: shrooms two days ago. Thank you for not getting loaded.
Speaker 1: Did you know the night before so that you're feeling
Speaker 1: hungover for doing the right thing? I mean, should we
Speaker 1: have to thank people for doing exactly what their job is. No,
Speaker 1: but it is nice. It is nice to give a
Speaker 1: little two thumbs up. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 2: Well, it makes people feel better and it makes them
Speaker 2: feel appreciated because I'm super pilots, the drivers and endor
Speaker 2: mean and elevator men or whatever. That's really telling my
Speaker 2: age they had an elevator man in a long time.
Speaker 2: But I'm sure that they are a genuine act of
Speaker 2: kindness to thank you and I appreciate you. It goes
Speaker 2: a long way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it is, and you do appreciate I'm sure
Speaker 1: you like it when people tell you had a great sound,
Speaker 1: right if you see them af there it make sure
Speaker 1: it is nice to know that people appreciate what you do.
Speaker 1: They certainly when when they don't appreciate you, they failure.
Speaker 2: So that's the problem. The negative. Our wings are positive
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 1: Uh you know what else? I saw that that was
Speaker 1: kind of nice. It was like a week and a
Speaker 1: half ago. But the city of Orlando is uh finally
Speaker 1: approving to buy the Pulse nightclub where forty forty nine
Speaker 1: people were killed fifty three were injured, and interested in
Speaker 1: making it the property of permanent memorials to honor the victims,
Speaker 1: and I thought, isn't that nice.
Speaker 2: That's beautiful because a lot of those kids, those people
Speaker 2: loved their last My girl, that was my girlfriend, Angelica
Speaker 2: fan Chess, who was on the news. She was the
Speaker 2: one who climbed up in the office, up in the
Speaker 2: up in the air ducks to get away and they
Speaker 2: get terrifying. Yeah, she was the one who did that,
Speaker 2: and so she reported that the CNA it is. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we just like you said, you don't know, you could
Speaker 2: be anywhere.
Speaker 1: Just doing what you're supposed to do, you know, like
Speaker 1: just doing your regular I mean bowling. When did bowling
Speaker 1: become treacherous? For the love of God, bowling maybe boredom,
Speaker 1: but but not anything that was violent. It's just crazy.
Speaker 1: The elections have had a little bit of move so
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've heard that Pens and Will Hurd have
Speaker 1: backed out. Penn said it's just not his time. I
Speaker 1: don't know what.
Speaker 2: I was about to say, Yo, damn ain't coming the bag,
Speaker 2: no boat. Yeah, baby chunked the head. I'm chumped the head.
Speaker 2: All the people turn on Hill. But that Nicky Hayley
Speaker 2: exclaiming in the polls and rots not clambing.
Speaker 1: No, he's sorta flat. They think that, like is it
Speaker 1: Tim Scott, Asa Hutchinson, that Bergham and Larry Elder, they'll
Speaker 1: be dropping out. I heard that Chris Christie, and I
Speaker 1: think he's reasonable. So you know, I like him because
Speaker 1: I understand what he says and when he talks to me,
Speaker 1: and he doesn't seem to be lying lying, but he
Speaker 1: seems he's going by the New Hampshire polls. And he
Speaker 1: said that he thought it was smart that Pence. You know,
Speaker 1: everybody's taking a hard look at how viable they're going
Speaker 1: to be. And I'm like, pow, you're not that much.
Speaker 1: You're I think you're like a tenth of a percent.
Speaker 1: But you know, I think I think the GOP it'll
Speaker 1: be will be down to like three or four within
Speaker 1: the next month or so. But somebody named Dean Phillips,
Speaker 1: a representative of Minnesota, is announcing candidacy for the Democrats.
Speaker 1: Who I never heard of him before.
Speaker 2: Who he really is?
Speaker 1: Who I mean? They said, Dean became like who? Like
Speaker 1: I didn't. Then I said Minnesota, and I went all right,
Speaker 1: but I don't know that he's done anything. I'm going
Speaker 1: to have to do a little research on him. But
Speaker 1: he thinks that President Biden has done an unbelievable job
Speaker 1: for the people. But you know, they keep going back
Speaker 1: to the age, you know. But he thinks that that,
Speaker 1: you know, somebody else could should put their hat.
Speaker 2: In the ring.
Speaker 1: And I guess he thinks that should be him. I
Speaker 1: don't know what he thinks he'll get done when nobody
Speaker 1: has heard of him. I I don't think we're going
Speaker 1: to have another President Obama, you know, kind of flying
Speaker 1: through the ranks here. But we'll see what happens with that.
Speaker 1: It was a little I was a little disappointed. And
Speaker 1: Trump is still can you imagine he's still now, he's
Speaker 1: fifty six percent. They had the gag order back in.
Speaker 1: They took it off her for a minute and put
Speaker 1: it back on because he just can't seemed to keep
Speaker 1: his mouth closed when it caught.
Speaker 2: Which is what? Which is what should be exactly what
Speaker 2: if he's going to be the leader of the free
Speaker 2: world if he wins the president, that that is what
Speaker 2: his title will be. But you can't even follow the
Speaker 2: rules that are in the constitution and play in this country.
Speaker 2: That is all reflanks to me. But because his base
Speaker 2: is so listen, I wish somebody loved me like that
Speaker 2: good guy.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't even get it.
Speaker 2: And I don't even know if it's love boy, but
Speaker 2: whatever it is, it's it's.
Speaker 1: Like a cult. I saw Adam's Kinsinger am My pronouncing
Speaker 1: it right. He stood up for the election and ended
Speaker 1: up losing his seat over it, and he's come out
Speaker 1: with a book book, And he was on Maria Streiver
Speaker 1: has a live in a podcast that she does, and
Speaker 1: he was on and he said, it's a cult, you know,
Speaker 1: when it down to it, and people actually look it's
Speaker 1: it's because it's it's giving every bit of your belief
Speaker 1: away with even when you're when you're being told what
Speaker 1: the reality is. So he said, he voted Democrat the
Speaker 1: last election, and if it's Trump and Biden again, he
Speaker 1: will vote Democrat even though he's a Republican. So interesting
Speaker 1: he's got, I mean, and Trump's got a lot of problems.
Speaker 1: Look at all the plea deals he's got. Several of
Speaker 1: his attorneys, Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, Kenneth Cheeseborrow, Scott Hall
Speaker 1: and all all pleading guilty and taking plea deals. And
Speaker 1: Mark Meadows has been given immunity for January six I'm
Speaker 1: dying to see what he comes out. The only thing
Speaker 1: he's come out with so far is that he's being
Speaker 1: dishonest about what he said happened in the in the
Speaker 1: in the Oval office about January sixth. So he's got
Speaker 1: to be shaking in his boots. But you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know if Trump has it, you know, like I
Speaker 1: think he's missing that be nervous over something.
Speaker 2: He seems like Bobby. I think I think that it's
Speaker 2: not a confidence level, but I think that he is
Speaker 2: so reassured that I got the goods on y'all. So
Speaker 2: when y'all try to put me away, I'm going to
Speaker 2: drop the goods on everybody because Trump gives me very
Speaker 2: that if he's busted, everybody's gone.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, this won't be this term won't be first
Speaker 1: of all, when we get him out. But this term
Speaker 1: is all about retaliation. It has nothing about doing doing
Speaker 1: good for the people that his base is, like lower
Speaker 1: middle class, Like he could care lots about the group
Speaker 1: of people that have actually, you know, jumped on him
Speaker 1: and think that he's he's their guy. And I want
Speaker 1: to say, oh please, the expression you used earlier. Are
Speaker 1: you kidding me? I just kind of I just kind
Speaker 1: of imagine. It seems absolutely crazy to me. But we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens.
Speaker 2: Oh you mean, nigga? Please? Oh Bobby, please say it?
Speaker 1: Oh I could, but I like when you set up.
Speaker 1: But that's what you want to say, Honest to God,
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: I learned, but let me learn. This is a this
Speaker 2: is still that still for comedy. I'm not putting Bobby
Speaker 2: on his flapping for me. So before anybody takes that,
Speaker 2: a run Bobby, our friends. And that was just a joke.
Speaker 2: I knew she was not going to say it. That
Speaker 2: was just a joke. Say y'all now, because y'all would
Speaker 2: take that and run with the good God. No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: Did you see Texas? A g Ken Paxton is suing
Speaker 1: Biden because they cut his razor wire. Because they cut
Speaker 1: the razor wire down on the border. He thinks that
Speaker 1: the migrants are if they're they're increasing, and he's very
Speaker 1: upset over so he's gonna.
Speaker 2: Waste He's still inviting over that. Uh. The santist is
Speaker 2: wearing high heeled boots. Girl, where is the world coming to.
Speaker 1: Can you can you even imagine? I just can't even
Speaker 1: I mean, the Biden administration is still plugging along. They've
Speaker 1: cut even more student loans. They I think they're up
Speaker 1: to one hundred and twenty seven billion for three point
Speaker 1: six million people. And it's the public sector workers. They're
Speaker 1: just finding more programs they can get people who have
Speaker 1: been paying for over twenty years, people who were defrauded
Speaker 1: for for profit colleges aka Trump University or I should
Speaker 1: say ie not aka. So you know, So that's that's
Speaker 1: what has seen for the people, kind of kind of
Speaker 1: good for the people. Ford went back to I believe
Speaker 1: it was scored that went back to work, and then
Speaker 1: the actors strike. There were three thousand people out last
Speaker 1: week on the picket lines in Hollywood. But they said
Speaker 1: that they're making they're making some progress. They're inching little
Speaker 1: by a little closer to a deal. Have you heard
Speaker 1: anything on that.
Speaker 2: Yes, apparently that might be a until January, because you
Speaker 2: know what, Hollywood is about to shut down by Hollywood
Speaker 2: usually shut down the week before Thanksgiving into after the
Speaker 2: new year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the negotiations will stop at that point or
Speaker 1: just slow.
Speaker 2: I think that they will probably be no existent until
Speaker 2: after the new year, because people go home, people go
Speaker 2: back to wherever they came from. To me with family
Speaker 2: and friends and loved ones. But I would like for
Speaker 2: it to be over. But I'm telling you about me
Speaker 2: right now. This AI thing girl is way spookier than
Speaker 2: people know. And people have not dove into it. They
Speaker 2: taking it as a joke. But it is something that
Speaker 2: is very real and it's going to make a lot
Speaker 2: of people go to the suit kitchen or go to
Speaker 2: the rear line because AI will do things without without
Speaker 2: talk back, would do things without an attitude because it's
Speaker 2: a damn computer or it's a damn push up a button.
Speaker 2: But I don't support the AI in every capacity, especially
Speaker 2: at the grocery store. I say, would you like to
Speaker 2: do stuff checkout? I say, I don't work here, No,
Speaker 2: And I.
Speaker 1: Get that, But part of that is us ways in
Speaker 1: our kids, right, they're lazy. They don't want jobs. You know,
Speaker 1: they're sort of trying to tap dance. I figure out
Speaker 1: a way to get your groceries out the store where
Speaker 1: they can still get the money. But I certainly know
Speaker 1: our kids don't get a job. I saw this week
Speaker 1: that President Biden, but I can't speak to it on
Speaker 1: this at least this week. I can't that he's trying
Speaker 1: to put in guardrails with AI and where it's acceptable
Speaker 1: to use, where it's not acceptable to use. So I'll
Speaker 1: be very interested to see A if he's able to
Speaker 1: get whatever it is past and what the actual guardrails are,
Speaker 1: because there are positive things to AI, you know from
Speaker 1: what I hear you can so it might take some
Speaker 1: jobs away, but it's supposed to be able to add
Speaker 1: other jobs because they'll need to kind of shift that
Speaker 1: work to another place, like when we used to do
Speaker 1: things manually way back in the day. Remember there were loomers,
Speaker 1: not back in yours in my day. I know, people
Speaker 1: think we're old. We're not that old, but we used
Speaker 1: to have a loom and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: we have that was electric. But they needed people to
Speaker 1: run those electric blooms, and they need people to repair
Speaker 1: those electric blooms. So it's not that it will take
Speaker 1: away all jobs, but it is scary when you see it,
Speaker 1: especially would say in Hollywood, right, the things that you'd
Speaker 1: be able to do, you'd make people look like they
Speaker 1: were doing things that they weren't actually doing. So I'll
Speaker 1: be interested to see about what the guardrails are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just it's so crazy. But AI, that's what
Speaker 2: they're fighting over. And I got a lot of free
Speaker 2: intrants out of work. And I'm telling you they were
Speaker 2: on TV every week. But apparently the money was not
Speaker 2: as great as what it was because they are already
Speaker 2: working at McDonald's. And that's not a bad thing working
Speaker 2: because McDonald's in California paid like twenty two dollars an
Speaker 2: hour and they have benefits.
Speaker 1: They have quite a benefit package from I know somebody
Speaker 1: that worked there. They had six days, they had four
Speaker 1: on one kids, they had a profit sharing, they had
Speaker 1: I mean, playes not so bad. And if you have
Speaker 1: no job, it's better to have any job so that
Speaker 1: you can at least put I know it's not as
Speaker 1: glamorous as is working. But the people who were probably
Speaker 1: there weren't a list actors. I'm sure they were. They
Speaker 1: were lower, no, but.
Speaker 2: But they were working paycheck to paycheck. Because a lot
Speaker 2: of people think because you're on TV, you're rich, but
Speaker 2: they forget that acting is a job. It's a job.
Speaker 1: You need every every job that you have, you need
Speaker 1: a side gig, right, you need something else. You can't
Speaker 1: put all your eggs on one basket. Look at you
Speaker 1: do the hosting, you do the comedy, you do anything
Speaker 1: that you get an opportunity to do. You do the podcast.
Speaker 1: You gotta have You got to have another, a side gig.
Speaker 1: You got to have something else that brings in money
Speaker 1: once one one thing doesn't.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna have to go ahead and start. There's
Speaker 2: the only fans accounts I get paid. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna maybe account. Maybe I started an only fans
Speaker 2: account and just eat bacon on that, because you know,
Speaker 2: people are into that.
Speaker 1: Who do you do coffee time? People are in what
Speaker 1: kind of bacon is it is? I'm like, take a breath,
Speaker 1: I know right by me.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, it's bacon. Y'all see my
Speaker 2: play has eating it every day.
Speaker 1: They want the details. I think it might be onto
Speaker 1: something there, especially if you've got a few pet pigs
Speaker 1: and put them around you probably really you'd probably really
Speaker 1: scare them.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll do it. Maybe I'll do it in the
Speaker 2: broad and a wing and just eating.
Speaker 1: I think I think they like it. Oh look at
Speaker 1: my tastes turning bright red.
Speaker 2: Somebody be into it. Look, somebody will watch it. At
Speaker 2: least look, maybe the white Howard will watch it. Oh,
Speaker 2: I want to go down that road. I want to
Speaker 2: say I admire that the white Howard taking a stance
Speaker 2: for the white Howard. I appreciate that more people need
Speaker 2: to stand up for themselves because what that man does
Speaker 2: in the privacy of Higby room should have stayed in
Speaker 2: the privacy of his room and the person they the
Speaker 2: consensual adult that he chose to sleep with, whether it
Speaker 2: was man, woman, or whatever they identified as. But we
Speaker 2: so quick to judge and run at people. He's a
Speaker 2: very attractive man, and so many men and women who
Speaker 2: would saw him and knew exactly what went down would
Speaker 2: still sleep with him because he's a good look at
Speaker 2: man and he's an NBA prayer.
Speaker 1: Were back to the how we One of the conversations
Speaker 1: that we had at the beginning of the podcast, I
Speaker 1: don't care. I don't care what other people do. I
Speaker 1: don't so you noted it, okay, But then the conversation is,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I don't care as
Speaker 1: long as people aren't getting hurt or he's not forcing people.
Speaker 1: That's a different conversation. I really don't care. It's it's
Speaker 1: we all have enough troubles. Like concentrate on your own
Speaker 1: and fiction, your own life. Don't worry about where people
Speaker 1: put their parts and who they're putting them with. I
Speaker 1: don't really care.
Speaker 2: And yeah, that was his statement. He said, where I
Speaker 2: put my wood is why I lay my wood is
Speaker 2: my business? I said, yes, would Leah, Yes.
Speaker 1: No, absolutely, I can't even Yeah, move it along. I
Speaker 1: can't stand it. We have had I think we're coming
Speaker 1: to the end, and we've had a lot of debts.
Speaker 1: We had Bertie Beauman, who is the longest serving Black congressman.
Speaker 1: He died at ninety two. We had all Richard Rowntree,
Speaker 1: who played Shaft. He was the highest thing. I thought
Speaker 1: he was cooler than cooler and cool. He was the
Speaker 1: first black action hero on television. He died from pancreatic
Speaker 1: cancer at eighty one. We had Bert Young. You remember
Speaker 1: Bert Young. He was poor in Rocky films. He died
Speaker 1: at eighty three. We had Pyle Laurie. She died at
Speaker 1: ninety one. She was like a character actor. She had
Speaker 1: these fun, funky spots. You when you see her, you
Speaker 1: know who she is. I didn't know her name from
Speaker 1: a home in the Wall. I know she played in
Speaker 1: Carrie and she played in Hustler or The Hustler. I
Speaker 1: think it was called I think Yesterday or Today. A
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame college coach. Bob Knight died in eighty three,
Speaker 1: and then Matthew Perry dies at fifty four, I mean
Speaker 1: apparent drowning. They got some of his talk screen back.
Speaker 1: Everything has been cleared to think he is were he
Speaker 1: worked so hard in his sobriety.
Speaker 2: He was so.
Speaker 1: Honest about coming out with it and trying to help people.
Speaker 1: In fact, he didn't want people to know him for acting.
Speaker 1: He was obviously hoping to have thirty more years at least,
Speaker 1: and you know of he wanted to be known for
Speaker 1: his good deeds or for being able to help people.
Speaker 1: And in the time that he had, God bless him
Speaker 1: he did. But that was shocked. Were you shocked with that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I would. And another story is still unfolded because
Speaker 2: they they was gonna go right to say, oh it
Speaker 2: was Josey, It was jos It was jokes And I
Speaker 2: just I liked his character on the show. Yeah, And
Speaker 2: from when I whenever any view I was saying about
Speaker 2: him because that I wasn't like a fan that followed
Speaker 2: his career, but any times that I ever saw anything
Speaker 2: that he was on, he always seemed like such a
Speaker 2: lovely man. He did what everybody's saying, and he was
Speaker 2: just a regular person. He had demons, like we all do.
Speaker 2: We all have damons.
Speaker 1: He did, and that few other actors have come out
Speaker 1: and said that they were struggling as well, and he
Speaker 1: kind of just put his arm around them and helped
Speaker 1: them and got them through. He got them over the humps.
Speaker 1: They could call him twenty four to seven, and I
Speaker 1: think that's what he wanted to be known for. So
Speaker 1: I hope more and more people come out and talk
Speaker 1: about that. I think the screening out. One of the
Speaker 1: screenings came back today. There was no methods that I mean,
Speaker 1: like there's you know, it takes longer and longer and
Speaker 1: longer to get some of them. But I went, oh,
Speaker 1: thank God, because you know, I know that everybody's going
Speaker 1: he was going to go to that, but he put
Speaker 1: his heart. I'm assuming it's a heart attack. He is
Speaker 1: of a certain age, and he did a lot of
Speaker 1: you know, I have alcoholics in my own family. He
Speaker 1: did a lot of damage to that heart, probably so.
Speaker 1: But it's sad when your parents is still a lot
Speaker 1: and they have to watch you, you know, they have
Speaker 1: to go through this. It breaks my heart. But so
Speaker 1: God bless. I hope it was peaceful and I hope.
Speaker 2: He's and prayers to the cast, the friends in his family,
Speaker 2: because the child who knows what kind of relationship they had.
Speaker 2: They think they all think very close. And I love
Speaker 2: that they all stood together to make sure that they
Speaker 2: all get equal paid. You see that equality equality. You
Speaker 2: stand together. When you stand together, you make change.
Speaker 1: And you say that all the time with your fist right. Yes,
Speaker 1: I always loved that expression. That's one of my favorite
Speaker 1: expressions that used to that you say. But they did,
Speaker 1: and they and they came out actually as a group
Speaker 1: even with this and said we're grieving, so please like
Speaker 1: basically nicely leave us alone for now. We're processing. We
Speaker 1: can't believe it. I think when you're in your formative years,
Speaker 1: they were in their early you know, early in mid
Speaker 1: twenties when they all started this. I think I think
Speaker 1: that sort of gells you. Sometimes they seemed like they
Speaker 1: were more they had such a bond, they seemed like
Speaker 1: they were more family than friends strang no pun intended,
Speaker 1: but if I get credit for it, I'll take it.
Speaker 1: So I you know, God bless everybody there, and I
Speaker 1: think that that's all I had. Did you have anything?
Speaker 1: Where were you off to? Did you already tell us
Speaker 1: where you were off to?
Speaker 2: I mean Detroit, I mean Canada Tomorrow at the Windsor
Speaker 2: Casino with Tiffany Hattish and Lil rel Howery and with
Speaker 2: Essi Grantic and then on Friday we will be at
Speaker 2: the Horseshoe Casino and having Indiana and on Faridie. I
Speaker 2: am going home. Thank you, Jeeves. I'm ready to go home.
Speaker 2: I miss Dexter and Timmy and not in that order.
Speaker 1: Will you? Will you be off until the holidays. I
Speaker 1: feel like there's not a lot that happens in Shieldbez during.
Speaker 2: The I think I'm off until the eleventh with Tiffany.
Speaker 2: I think we do the eleventh until and then I'm
Speaker 2: off until the holidays. But I have been having the
Speaker 2: time of my life and a great whirl win. I
Speaker 2: want you guys to please if you can go to
Speaker 2: Comedy Hype and listen to the interview I did with Tiffany.
Speaker 2: She's a lovely, lovely woman she was. The interview was
Speaker 2: pretty good because the interview was very fair, and I was,
Speaker 2: of course I was just flameing rope. But it was
Speaker 2: the way her tone, her temperament, the way she said
Speaker 2: up the questions. She laughed with me. She made me
Speaker 2: so comfortable. She's a good interview I really like her
Speaker 2: a lot, and I want you guys to go listen
Speaker 2: to it. I didn't say anything that I think that
Speaker 2: should offend anybody, but I wasn't trying to speak to
Speaker 2: a being or to not a being. I was just
Speaker 2: being flame by bro.
Speaker 1: No, you were good. I liked it. You had a
Speaker 1: high energy, and I do agree. I liked her. You
Speaker 1: know what I liked about her, I said this to
Speaker 1: you already. I like when an interviewer is prepared, they
Speaker 1: actually know who the subject matter is. They get a
Speaker 1: little bit of attention. She already kind of know your
Speaker 1: stances on things, so nothing was shocking for her either.
Speaker 1: It was very comfortable. There weren't any like aha moments
Speaker 1: where you were shocked and grabbing your pearls. It was
Speaker 1: a very comfortable, high energy interview. I loved it. I
Speaker 1: thought it was great. So if you can put it
Speaker 1: on in your car. You can put it on anywhere everybody.
Speaker 1: So I'm definitely.
Speaker 2: On the comedy high page. Oh my god. But we

Speaker 2: been we are not trying to get you and change
Speaker 2: your mind. We are only trying to get you to

Speaker 1: to waste.
Speaker 2: And if you listen to some of these these democratis,
Speaker 2: these politicians, they are wasting your time and their man
Speaker 2: because they ain't got one good God. Some of these
Speaker 2: politicians just crazy. We live in America, both both That's
Speaker 2: why I said I meant to say, I'm about to
Speaker 2: say revoke the Democrat down, said politicians, because both sides.
Speaker 2: While you're absolutely right, I want to send out special
Speaker 2: prayers all the teachers in the United States. The teachers
Speaker 2: are the most underpaid, overwork and the jobs are almost
Speaker 2: dangerous right now. The jobs are almost you want to
Speaker 2: put down dangerous. But who's going to teach our children
Speaker 2: if we don't protect these teachers because the teaching industry,
Speaker 2: I just found this out statistically, we have a shortage
Speaker 2: for teachers. People don't want to be teaching no more
Speaker 2: because they're afraid of the backlass, they're afraid of being
Speaker 2: killed in class and not being protected. And then the
Speaker 2: pay is not good. Who's going to teach our kids
Speaker 2: because the parents don't want to teach their kids. Me included,
Speaker 2: I was like, herey, I'm go to school.
Speaker 1: It's true, and in the state of Massachusetts, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure it's everywhere. I'm only saying the state of mouse
Speaker 1: because that's the only one I can speak to for
Speaker 1: public school teachers. They have to have a master's too.
Speaker 1: So these people are coming out in the public sector
Speaker 1: with big student loans, not making a lot of money,
Speaker 1: no appreciation. You can't celebrate anything anymore. Like you know,
Speaker 1: when you were in grade school, you used to get
Speaker 1: to celebrate Halloween and this and that. You can't celebrate
Speaker 1: anything anymore. It's a tough gig, and the parents want
Speaker 1: to do less than they've ever wanted to do. So
Speaker 1: my family is loaded with teachers. So I agree with you, flame,
Speaker 1: and I love that you said.
