Yeah, that sounds about right. Let me 25 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: get the get back to the story here. Yeah, a 26 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: hard nine whole putting green inside the house. Can you 27 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: imagine that? Yeah? I'm impressed by it because obviously somebody 28 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: really cares about this, But then there's this other side 29 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: of me that wants to see it. Is it just boring? 30 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: Because if all of it is a putting green, you know, 31 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: I want to put a clown's mouth in there, and 32 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: a windmill and a lighthouse and all the other stuff 33 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: that you'd have to try to golf around. That's to me, 34 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: that's the only way you would do a nine whole 35 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: putting green. Well, and some death traps, some man traps something, Yeah, 36 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: a seltzer bottle sprayer to hit you in the face 37 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: if you miss a pot. Let's step this up. Absolutely. 38 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: What struck me the most about the story Obviously it's 39 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: unique because it has that that indoor putting green, mini 40 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: golf course, whatever it is. But what struck me the most. 41 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: The story was the price. Would you say it was 42 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: like a million bucks? It is a little more than 43 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: one million dollars, which that seems low to me, especially 44 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: for well, I don't know. It's it's in Phoenix, so 45 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: so you don't know. Yeah, Now Phoenix has got some 46 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: nice areas there. If you're up in Paradise Valley and 47 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: around Scottsdale, things are going for a lot more money 48 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: up there, right. But I heard the million dollars and uh, 49 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: And I was just thinking, if that were southern California, 50 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: a million dollars, you'd have like a two bedroom, one 51 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: bath with maybe a little sideyard that your dog could 52 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 1: go out in. That would be about it. Yeah, that 53 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: gets you if you're if you're in southern California and 54 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: in Phoenix you went up with an entire mini golf 55 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: course inside your home. It's just crazy the difference in prices. 56 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: And this is this is what happened. I lived in 57 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: Phoenix and I bought a house in twenty fifteen. I 58 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: paid about three hundred thousand for it. We sold it, 59 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: and we closed on this house. We sold it January 60 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Just as we were hearing about this, this 61 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: COVID thing in in China, and we were talking about, 62 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: oh is it going to get here? This sort of question, right, 63 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: and it really hadn't hit the States at all yet. 64 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: That's when we closed down our house. We closed on 65 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: it for about three hundred and eighty five thousand, and 66 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: I thought, wow, we did. We did really well over 67 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: the course of that five years. It's just eighty five 68 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. It's not bad, right, We thought pretty good, 69 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: pretty good. The people that bought our house just sold 70 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: it again, and it just closed this month for seven 71 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars. Lord, and I can tell you now 72 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: and again, seven hundred thousand dollars in southern California, it 73 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: doesn't get you very far. But I can tell you 74 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: it didn't have an indoor putting green. It did have 75 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: a swimming pool. But the idea of the house that 76 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: I was in being worth seven hundred thousand dollars is lunacy. 77 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,839 Speaker 1: And it's the same thing here when you start taking 78 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: a look at the prices. I had a house in 79 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: San Diego. We were renting it, and just for fun, 80 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: I thought, I'm going to check and see what this 81 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: house is worth in San Diego Now, you know, for 82 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: a guy who comes from the Midwest, southern California prices 83 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: are just total sticker shock, right. So when we were there, Yeah, 84 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: when we were there, the house was valued at about 85 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: six hundred thousand, which in my mind was about four 86 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars too much. I just checked in that house. 87 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: Of course it's Zillo, but you know it's the closest 88 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: I have to an accurate appraisal. That house now two 89 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: point three six million. Yeah, So if you're in your 90 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: real estate porn at all, and if you look at 91 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: houses I lived for a period of time in the 92 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: Midwest too, Yeah, what you could get a castle there 93 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: for us for what essentially a small one bedroom house 94 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: would be here. It's really depressing, it is. But then 95 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: you feel a little bit better if you start taking 96 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: a look at what they're doing in northern California. If 97 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,799 Speaker 1: you're up in the Bay Area, it's like, take everything 98 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: we have here and you can just about double it 99 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: up there. The average home price in San Francisco, now 100 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: you're just talking about the city itself, not the surrounding barrier. 101 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: But in San Francisco, I believe that the median home 102 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: price there is one point five million, So that means 103 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: your one bedroom, one bath condos as well as your 104 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: larger homes median home price one point five million. And 105 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: I just shook my head. I couldn't I couldn't believe it. 106 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: I'll be living in an RV. That's it. I'm oh 107 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: my gosh. Oh, it's eye popping. It's just wild, so wild. 108 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: And everything seems to be getting more and more expensive 109 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: and even unreliable as you've got to inflation is hitting, 110 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: You've got gas pranks are really high, and it doesn't 111 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: seem to be deterring people here on Memorial Day weekend. 112 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: They're they're still running around, flying everywhere, taking vacations everywhere. 113 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: In fact, one of the big concerns this weekend has 114 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: been flight cancelations. I think it was Channel seven had 115 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: had a review on that, another big story this weekend 116 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: across the country. The wave of flight cancelations this holiday 117 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: weekend continues. Fourteen flights have been canceled at LAX over 118 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours. That's according to flight that 119 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: was yesterday, fight aware dot com, and nationwide, more than 120 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: twelve hundred flights have been canceled today. So again that 121 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: was yesterday. Now I'm looking at an updated story that 122 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: CBS has. It says at lax the thirty eight flight 123 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: delays being reported in seventeen flight cancelations on Sunday alone, 124 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: So that is up from the early morning report. I 125 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: just played to the audio from thirty five hundred flights 126 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: nationwide cancel over five hundred sixty flights delayed over what 127 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: travel experts indicated would be the busiest weekend since twenty nineteen. 128 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: So even though prices have gone up and everything is 129 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: so daggum expensive now, it's almost like, well, we weren't 130 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: spending our money for the last two years. We couldn't 131 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: go on that family vacation, you know. Wow, we couldn't 132 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: go rent that RV and go to the Grand Canyon, 133 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: or we couldn't go up to the Grand Tetons or 134 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: wherever you're going. We couldn't do We couldn't do those things. 135 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: And it's almost like the vacation funds ballooned and everybody's 136 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: ready to spend that money now. They don't even care 137 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: necessarily about value. I was talking with Alex Stone from 138 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: ABC News last week, and we were talking about, you know, 139 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: where people are going and how much they're spending and 140 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: this sort of thing. And he said, there's there's nothing 141 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: deturing people from heading out. There's there's just nothing. And 142 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: the cost of plane tickets keeps going up and up 143 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: and up, even though I keep getting ads from Southwest, 144 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: I keep getting their mailers. It's like, oh, you know, 145 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,239 Speaker 1: it's your want to get away fair fifty nine dollars 146 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: and then you click on it and fifty nine dollars 147 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: takes you nowhere. There's nowhere that actually goes for fifty 148 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: nine dollars. But Southwest keeps saying, check our flights for 149 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: fifty nine dollars. I think the fifty nine dollars flight 150 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: is from lax to Burbank. I think that's it. I 151 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: think that's the only fifty nine dollars flight that they have. Well, 152 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: they always do that. Have you noticed that that's like this? 153 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: It makes me crazy when you see on the side 154 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: of the vans at say nineteen ninety nine a day, 155 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: it's never that's that's their loss leader to get you 156 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: in the door. That's exactly right. Yeah, those those truck 157 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: rentals sometimes you do better renting renting a U haul 158 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: than you do actually renting a car. In fact, when 159 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: I was hearing about this late last year, as all 160 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: of a sudden, there was a car rental shortage as 161 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: they you know, the car rental companies couldn't get the 162 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: new vehicles because of the supply chain issues with the 163 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: auto manufacturers, and so people were just renting U holes. 164 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: We'll do We'll just do a U hole. And now 165 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: you've got rental cars that are averaging. And again, this 166 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: is what I was talking to Alex about, and he 167 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: asked me to guess what the average rental cars. And 168 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: it used to be you could get a super subcompact 169 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: what amounts to basically a go cart with a trunk, 170 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: and it would be like twenty three dollars a day, right, 171 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: and then you have to double that because of all 172 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: your airport fees and your cleaning fees and your paperwork 173 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: fees and everything else. He said, now the prices are 174 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 1: like ninety bucks, even for the cheap stuff. And I 175 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: haven't I haven't looked into it any further, but just 176 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: the idea of just deters me from wanting to go 177 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: on vacation. And then if you've got a family, you're 178 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 1: getting something a little bit bigger. And he can't even 179 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: afford to fill the gas tank. Man, I sound like 180 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 1: an old man, don't I know. And then there's kids 181 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: on my lawn, and then the clouds keep they keep 182 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: moving by my house faster than I can watch them 183 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: turn the hose on those kids. Now that it's watering 184 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: the price of gas, eye watering, eye watering, eye watering. Hey, 185 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: the big thing here that I and I heard MO 186 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: talking about this here a second ago I got I 187 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: got down the rabbit hole watching trailers for Top Gun 188 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: before the show started, so I haven't seen it yet. 189 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: I am amped about it. I'll share with you a 190 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: little bit of what they're saying about this movie, because 191 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: this seems to be truly the first blockbuster that we 192 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: have seen in two and a half years. We'll discuss 193 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: out here in just a moment. It's Chris Merrill in 194 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: four John and Ken k if I am six forty 195 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: more stimulating talk. Thanks for inviting us here into your 196 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 1: Memorial Day. Whatever your things. The thing is that you 197 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: got going on, if you're hanging on, I always think 198 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: of Memorial Day and people sitting around a barbecue in 199 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: the backyard. But I know for some of you, you're 200 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: at work. For some of you. You're stuck in traffic, 201 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: whatever that might be. So thanks for making us a 202 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: part of whatever misery or suffering, whether it's a traffic 203 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: or family or whatever ails you. I'm I'm not a 204 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: huge movie buff. I was when I was younger. New 205 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: movies come out and I go, Okay, that's cool. That 206 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: sounds like a good movie. That sounds neat, and in 207 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: my mind, I think, oh, well, hopefully that'll end up 208 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: on Netflix or Hulu or one of the services I have. 209 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: I don't have them all. Every time I turn around, 210 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: somebody else is trying to start a new services, Disney 211 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: and Paramount and all these, and I can't keep up 212 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: with all of them. So I got Disney, excuse me. 213 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: I've got Hulu, I've got Netflix, I have Apple TV, 214 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: and then I scal a password for HBO Max. So 215 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: that's all I've got, right, But I'm always hoping that 216 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: these movies end up being something that, oh, oh, hopefully 217 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 1: that'll hit my streaming service. I think I'm going to 218 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: bite the bullet and buy tickets to this Top Gun Maverick. 219 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: I'm there's a whole lot of nostalgia in that for me. 220 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: I love that movie as a kid. Oh, give me 221 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: goosebumps every time I hear it. Oh, what is this 222 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: one thing we knew about the eighties, The bigger the hair, 223 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: the better the music, and Harold Fultmeyer had big hair 224 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: and that it was fantastic. So this top gun Maverick. 225 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: Everything I've heard is that this is living up to expectations. 226 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: If you haven't heard about this thing, Maverick is back. 227 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: Tom Cruise's character is back, and we're all gonna get 228 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: really excited about seeing Maverick, who, frankly, he was kind 229 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: of obnoxious to me when that movie came out and 230 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: whatever it was, eighty four whatever. I always thought it 231 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: was kind of obnoxious, But I'm down with it now. Yeah, 232 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: seeing not be done with that. Your instructor is one 233 00:11:50,920 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: of the finest pilots this program has ever produced. You 234 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: know it's gonna be a fun movie when it has 235 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: a trailer with a short voice over and then lots 236 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,239 Speaker 1: of big sound effects. Just screams Jerry Bruckheimer. Doesn't it 237 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: His exploits our legendary. What he has to teach you, 238 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: they very well mean the difference between life and death. 239 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: Now a big sound effect show. See it's just a 240 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: sign of good, So there's the nostalgia factor. And then 241 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: I was watching I Got I Got, as I was saying, 242 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: I went down the rabbit hole before we went on 243 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: the air here today. So I was watching all the 244 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: different previews and trailers and behind the scenes and all 245 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: this stuff, and so I was sort of buying into 246 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: the hype. I'd been told about the hype by some 247 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: some movie reviewers, you know, this last week, and now 248 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: I'm following up on that, watching the stuff on the YouTube, 249 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: and I think I might. I think I'm gonna buy 250 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: the tickets. It'll be the first time I've gone to 251 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: the movie theaters now. The guys in the studio are 252 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: like old man, It'll be the first time I've gone 253 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: to see as my father would say, Oh, it's the 254 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: first time I've gone to the show in well, it's 255 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: got to be more than three years, because it had 256 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: been a while and then COVID hit and so nobody 257 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: was going anywhere, and I haven't been to the movie 258 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: theater since. So, yeah, I think I'm gonna I think 259 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. I was shocked to find this out. 260 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: Now here's a little tidbit of information that really surprised me, 261 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: genuinely surprised me, and I find it to be almost impossible. 262 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: Here's why. Headline Tom Gun Maverick gross is one hundred 263 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: and twenty four million dollars, making it Tom Cruise's best 264 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: domestic opening weekend. How is that possible that Tom Cruise 265 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: has never had another movie that's been and that high. 266 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 1: The studio expects the film to reach one hundred and 267 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: fifty one million for the four day Memorial Day weekend. 268 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: They said it could have a stronghold over for the 269 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: next few weeks as it faces limited box office competition 270 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: until the June tenth release of Universal's Jurassic World Dominion. 271 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: For me, I feel like the Jurassic Park franchise is 272 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: just milking it at this point, like I've seen it. Okay, 273 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: I get it. Dinosaurs, I got it. Look, you got dinosaurs, 274 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: and dinosaurs is scary, and dinosaurs somehow got out of 275 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: wherever you were supposed to be keeping them, and man 276 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: should not be tinkering with nature. I get it. Okay, 277 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: Jurassic I got it. It shocks me to find out 278 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: that Tom Cruise hasn't had another box office opening weekend 279 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: opening of more than one hundred and twenty four million 280 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: dollars when we see these films that are coming out, 281 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: you know, the Avenger films, and whether that's the Avengers 282 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: themselves or the spinoff or not the spinoff, but the 283 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: what do you call that? The Marvel Cinematic Universe, is 284 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: that right, guys? MCU? That's mc okay, MCU, Thanks Mark, 285 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: that's yeah, the MCU. So, whether it's Doctor Strange or 286 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: Thor or Iron Man or whatever else, it feels like 287 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: whenever those come out, you better expect one fifty to 288 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars for somebody as big as Tom Cruise. 289 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: And I was seeing all these headlines splashed all over 290 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: as Tom Cruise the last true movie star, and I thought, ah, no, 291 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: he's not. Oh he's he's this, you know, he used this. 292 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: And I don't want to take anything away from Tom Cruise, 293 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: because everything that I've read about Tom Cruise before this 294 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: movie was made, I've been really impressed by Tom Cruise, 295 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: far more impressed by Tom Cruise later in his career 296 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: than what I was early on in his career. I 297 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: always thought it was kind of the pretty boy with 298 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: a smile early on in his career, and I've just 299 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: seen him do some incredible work both on camera and 300 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: then what I see him doing off camera I think 301 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: is spectacular. But do you mean to tell me that 302 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: he hasn't made whether it was War the Worlds or 303 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, name other big Tom Cruise movies. Guys, 304 00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: how is it that other films haven't made more than 305 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: one hundred twenty four million dollars in their opening weekend? 306 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: That seems almost impossible. I still think he's doing okay, 307 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: though I don't think we should pity Tom Cruise. I 308 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: think no, I don't. But don't you think with his 309 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: name he's always had one of the biggest draws in Hollywood. 310 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: How is it only that this is the biggest opening 311 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: he's ever had? How's that possible? Well? I think people 312 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: have been under house arrest for two years and they 313 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: just want to get out. But none of those Mission 314 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: Impossible movies made more than this. I have to check 315 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: on that. But they all were phenomenally successful. I mean, 316 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: how many of those have there been? Seven so far? 317 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: Or that's seven? Yeah, Mark, That's what I'm saying, is 318 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: that they've been He's had some huge blockbusters. How is 319 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: this now? I'm not saying that this one shouldn't be 320 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: the biggest, But how is one hundred twenty four million 321 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: only the biggest blockbuster that's ever had? It? Just it's 322 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: hard for me to wrap my head around that for 323 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: funny duddies like me who like to sit around and 324 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: watch the streaming services. And I'm a I'm a fan 325 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: of being able to not get off my keyster. And frankly, 326 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: I don't feel guilty if I'm sitting at home and 327 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 1: I'm watching TV and I'm then I'm on my phone. 328 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: You know, if I can watch a streaming service, I 329 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: just jack around on my phone. I don't know if 330 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 1: I can sit still in the theater. Now I've become 331 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 1: one of those add adults, right. It's like it's like 332 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: all the add we complained about the kids they used days. 333 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: That's me when I'm sitting at home watching TV or whatever. 334 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: So I don't know if I'm gonna do it in 335 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: the theater, but I guess Ted Serrandos, who's the CEO 336 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: of Netflix, I was talking about the controversy with Dave 337 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: Chappelle's transphobic remarks in a twenty twenty one comedy special. 338 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: He was talking in an interview with The New York Times, 339 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: and he says, look, what we put out is not 340 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: going to be for everybody. And I'm with him on this. 341 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you there's going to be art that 342 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: you don't like. If everybody liked all art, it wouldn't 343 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: really be art, would it if everybody liked For instance, 344 00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: I have a story coming up a little bit later 345 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 1: on about Mona Lisa. Now, I'm not an art expert, 346 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 1: and you're gonna find that, as I keep rambling here, 347 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: not an art expert. But I always looked at Mona 348 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: Lisa and I went, yeah, I know she's got that 349 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: weird Is she smiling? Is she frowning? Is she disappointed 350 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 1: because you didn't empty the dishwasher? She's always got that look, right. 351 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: I understand that the look is what's drawing, but I 352 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: always meh, he, I don't get so excited about it. 353 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: You remember the Robert Mapelethorpe controversies back in the eighties. 354 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: Not everybody sees art the same way. Some people the 355 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: art actually offends. So I appreciate that Netflix is actually 356 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: saying you're not gonna like everything. Let me see Sorrando's 357 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: expressing his views of Chappelle's as a top committe in 358 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: the United States and for the streaming platform, saying nobody 359 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: would say that what he does isn't thoughtful or smart. 360 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: You just don't agree with him. And I agree with 361 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: Sorrandos on that. I don't. I don't agree with Chappelle. 362 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: But it's not as though he's not making his case right. 363 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: And I don't think Chappelle's taking the low road. He's 364 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: not taking those old transphobic jokes right. I mean, people 365 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: are accusing him of being transphobic and having transphobic monologues, 366 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: but I don't see him out there making the same 367 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: sort of stupid sophomore at jokes that people were making 368 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: in the eighties and nineties. That's not happening. So, yeah, 369 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: you know what, good Netflix. Not everybody's gonna like it. 370 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: I'm not canceling my subscription because you had a show 371 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: that I didn't like, because news flash, Netflix has lots 372 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: of shows I don't like. All Right, since I just 373 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 1: put my foot in my mouth already and I'm gonna 374 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: have people upset with me, wait until I get going 375 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: on guns next. I won't. I won't get too crazy. 376 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: It's memorial day. I'm not gonna get too wild here. 377 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: Sit tight.

I am dismayed 382 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: as I was sitting down here and Misty and Andrew 383 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: and I were putting the show together, and I just 384 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 1: started pulling up story after story after story of shootings, shootings. 385 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: Let me see we go a headline Shooters at large 386 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: after six teenagers shot downtown Chattanooga. Six teenagers shot and 387 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: wounded two critically Saturday night when multiple people open fired 388 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee during a confrontation between two large groups 389 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: of young people. So I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, well, 390 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: this sounds like a gang thing, and it could be. 391 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: It could be. Don't know exactly what the deal was. 392 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: This shooting was at just shy of eleven o'clock PM, 393 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: So I don't Again, I don't know all the details, 394 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 1: but I do know that you've got teenagers. Police said 395 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 1: early this morning that two victims. Excuse yeah, two victims 396 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 1: were fifteen year old girls.

We're talking about 400 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: high school and junior high kids here, all right, So 401 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 1: more shootings. That's in Tennessee. In Thomas and Georgia, multiple 402 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: team casualties reported after a shooting broke out at a 403 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: graduation party on Saturday morning, deadly incident a little before 404 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 1: one am.

At least one 408 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: one victim was killed. Akim Ellison, was eighteen, taken to 409 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: the regional Medical Center for treatment, later pronounced dead.

So 414 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: we Go, Tennessee, Georgia, one dead, seven injured during a 415 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: shooting at a Memorial Day festival. This was in Oklahoma. 416 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: Fifteen hundred people in attendance at the Old City Square 417 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,919 Speaker 1: in Taft, Oklahoma, forty five miles southeast of Tulsa, when 418 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: the shooting took place early Sunday morning, when missus telling 419 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 1: investigators a gunfire erupted after an argument took place just 420 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: after midnight.

Turned him 425 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: into the sheriff's office. So here we've got again elementary 426 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: school kids getting hurt because of gun played. It wasn't 427 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: at school, But I don't think anybody went to this, 428 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: this Memorial Day festival in Oklahoma thinking that it was 429 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: going to be unsafe. Florida teenager arrested after posting a 430 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: gun threat photo on social media. This is a juvenile 431 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: that just makes a crack, not realizing the implications of 432 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: the crack to posted photos of himself with what appeared 433 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 1: to be a handgun. A rifle and a tactical style 434 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: vast After receiving a tip on Sunday, the Hillsboro County 435 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: Sheriff's office saying in a news release, evidently he put 436 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: up a post of him with those firearms and then said, hey, 437 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,239 Speaker 1: Sirie directions to the nearest school. Again, this is an 438 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: eighteen year old with maturation issues and post something that 439 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: they think is funny and obviously not funny being taken 440 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: very seriously. And then you've got this other dude out 441 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: of Oklahoma City, Britain. Kirk found with parts of an 442 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 1: A R fifteen bullets and a book on how to 443 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: make bombs. A police set. The suspect bought several guns 444 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: in Homa City planned to fly to Washington, DC to 445 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: hurt politicians. He was arrested a psychiatric facility. He did 446 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: have a pilot license. The guy knew how to fly. 447 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: He was talking about stealing a plane and flying to DC. 448 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 1: As I'm looking at all of these with these ups 449 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: last Nutter who wanted to steal the plane. You have 450 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: people at public events, or you've got students that have 451 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: these these firearms, and I can't help but to wonder 452 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: if you are going to a Memorial Day festival, and 453 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: the nation is on edge after what we witnessed in Texas, 454 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 1: after what we witnessed in in Buffalo, what we witnessed 455 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: here to Laguna, Laguna Hills. Right with all of these 456 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 1: different issues, uh oh, Laguna would excuse me, I apologize 457 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: all of these different episodes and all of the attention 458 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: that's brought. Why in the world would you take a 459 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: firearm with you too a graduation party, to a Memorial 460 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 1: Day festival? Why would you take these firearms with you too? 461 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 1: Whatever the event was there in Tennessee where you had 462 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: the thirteen and fifteen year olds getting hurt, why would 463 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: you do that? Now? Wait a minute now, because most 464 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: of us are thinking the same thing, We're going how 465 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: stupid can you be? But you have to you have 466 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 1: to realize that if you're someone who relies on that 467 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: firearm and you say the firearm is for my protection, right, 468 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 1: it's there to keep me safe. And if you're someone 469 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 1: who's been told time and time again that those kids 470 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 1: in Vivaldi wouldn't have been hurt if the teacher had 471 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: been armed, Now you can never prove a negative, so 472 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: you can't tell that person that they're wrong. But they're 473 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: certainly not necessarily right either. Right, if a teacher had 474 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 1: a firearm, is it possible that teacher could have taken 475 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: out the shooter. Sure, it's possible. It's also possible the 476 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: shooter would have taken out the teacher first and then 477 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 1: picked up the firearm and had another firearm to be 478 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: able to use. Right. So you can't prove a negative, 479 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: but the mindset is and especially again we're talking about 480 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 1: places largely in the South here where we have these 481 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: tennessee Georgia, Oklahoma, Florida, and the messaging is the guns 482 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: keep you safe. Guns keep you safe, Guns keep you safe. 483 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: And so you have these shootings that go on in Buffalo, 484 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: Laguna Woods, in Uvaldi, and you've got these teenagers that 485 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 1: are being told guns keep you safe. So you go 486 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: why would you Why would you carry a gun after 487 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: a mass shooting? And to the teenager, they go, why 488 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: wouldn't I? Right, But then you end up with teenagers who, 489 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: in the case of young males, have more testosterone than brains. 490 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: That is a that is a condition we have nationwide, 491 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: and they take the firearms with them because they believe 492 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be safer if I have this, and then 493 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: they get into a heated exchange with somebody else who 494 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: had the same idea. So here they are at a 495 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: graduation party. Here they are at a festival. Here they 496 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: are somewhere else. And these stories say, well, there was 497 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 1: a confrontation that spilled over. Oh, it was a confrontation 498 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: that escalated. Oh, there was a confrontation between two different 499 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: groups of people. And you've got two different groups of 500 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: people all carrying firearms with them, either because they always 501 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: have or because now they feel like they need too 502 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: in order to stay safe. And as that starts to escalate, 503 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: you know what happens. Somebody pulls one out. And why 504 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: do they pull it out? Because the firearm in their 505 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: hands isn't to keep them safe at that moment. That 506 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: may have been their intention when they took it with them, 507 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 1: but at that moment, when they pull that firearm out, 508 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: it's not about their own safety. It's about exerting power 509 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: over someone else. And so somebody pulls that firearm, and 510 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: somebody on the other side of the confrontation goes, oh, yeah, 511 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: me too, And now what do you have? You got 512 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: to stand off of deadly weapons, And somebody pulls the 513 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: trigger to show I have more power over you, and 514 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,400 Speaker 1: then shots start erupting back and forth, back and forth. 515 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 1: So it really is not a surprise that in the 516 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: wake of these devastating shootings that we've experienced over the 517 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: last three weeks, that we end up with more shootings 518 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 1: and more skirmishes and more escalation and things that. Look, 519 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: you and I were young, right, we were there in 520 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: ten in our teenage years. Whether you were part of 521 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: it or you witnessed it, whether it was your your 522 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: high school or your your junior high groups of kids 523 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: will get into fights. Not abnormal at all. So they 524 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: get into a fight and and it would end with fisticuffs. 525 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean that that that we've changed as humans, But 526 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: the difference is is that now we're we're preparing for 527 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,959 Speaker 1: battle more than we ever had before, whether it's intentional 528 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: or it's because well, I gotta be safe and look 529 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: to the people. You're a You're in a confrontation and 530 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: somebody on the other side pulls a firearm and immediately 531 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: in your mind you go, oh, good glad I brought mine. 532 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: Now I've got it, and now you've got escalation. Instead 533 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: of going oh, they've got a gun, okay, whatever, man, 534 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: I'm out. Whatever. It doesn't work that way now, all 535 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you've got to you've got a standoff. 536 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: You've got puffery, they would say. And it's an unfortunate situation. 537 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: It's not going to change until we start addressing if 538 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: guns are there for safety. You can't pretend that they're 539 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: there for safety and then use them for power and control. 540 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: You can't do it. All right. I want to talk 541 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: a little more about Memorial Day here, because let's face 542 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: it's something you and I all have in common. Memorial 543 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: Day today and what you should be doing coming up 544 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:34,719 Speaker 1: at three o'clock. You're supposed to do something for Memorial Day. 545 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what that is next. Chris Merrill in 546 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: for John and Ken k If. I am six forty. 547 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: I didn't realize that Memorial Day was always supposed to 548 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 1: be on May thirtieth. Did you know that? I had 549 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: no idea. I just thought it's last Monday of May, right, No, 550 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: Actually it was supposed to be May thirtieth. I guess 551 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: A Memorial Day originally called Decoration Day. Just after the 552 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: Civil War, the head of an organization of union veter 553 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: established Decoration Day is away from the nation to honor 554 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: the graves of those who died in the Civil War 555 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: with flowers. And so then there's this, Okay, what's their 556 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: official origin of Memorial Day itself. They said that there 557 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: was an observation held the year prior at Arlington National 558 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: Cemetery in eighteen sixty eight. Lyndon Johnson said, Waterloo, New 559 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: York is the official birthplace of the holiday. That's according 560 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: to the VA now, and it was supposed to be 561 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: May thirtieth. The reason they chose the end of May 562 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: form Memorial Day. It goes back to this notion of 563 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: putting flowers on the graves of the fallen, and they 564 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: thought May thirtieth, there's a good time because flowers are 565 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: going to be in bloom nationwide. Wherever you are in 566 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: the country, there's going to be flowers blooming. And I thought, oh, 567 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: that makes perfect sense. Somebody was using their noodle on 568 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: this one. And so they said May thirtieth is the day. 569 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: And then it was in the late I guess, not 570 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: late twentieth century. It was the early seventies that Congress said, Okay, 571 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna do the last Monday in May. That way, 572 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: would just do another Monday national holiday and there. It 573 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: is one thing that passed and maybe you remember it. 574 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: I don't recall. Although I was paying close attention to 575 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: the news in December of two thousand, I had just 576 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: started my radio career in that year. I started in 577 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: January of two thousand and I guess I missed this, 578 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: or maybe I didn't. Maybe I just don't recall it. 579 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: But George was it? George W. B. Bush. No, it 580 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: would have been President Clinton that signed the National Moment 581 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: of Remembrance Act. Are you familiar with this? The National 582 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: Moment of Remembrance Act is a time that all Americans 583 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: are asked to take part in a national Moment remembrance, 584 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 1: time to pause in a moment of silence to honor 585 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,959 Speaker 1: those who have died serving the United States. And so 586 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: coming up here at three o'clock, right at three pm, 587 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: you're supposed to take just a moment of silence. I 588 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: don't know how long that moment's supposed to last. I 589 00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: don't know if you do a moment of silence for 590 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: five seconds, seconds, thirty seconds, I'm not sure, but it 591 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: is in your own way. Right at three pm, that's 592 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: when you're asked to take just a moment of remembrance. 593 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: So now you know you've got directives for three o'clock 594 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: and then back to barbecues and shopping. Every year, I 595 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: get so frustrated with all of the commercialism around Memorial Day. Right, 596 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: you probably have felt the same way in the past 597 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: two here's the problem with us being frustrated about commercialism. 598 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: We go, my gosh, I can't believe that this has turned. 599 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: Commercialism in America is awful. We're supposed to be remembering 600 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: our love. Did you say, save two hundred dollars on 601 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: a mattress while commercialism is bad? Behind just two hundred 602 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: dollars and we've been shopping for a mattress, and you 603 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: know the say, with inflation nowadays, we've really got to 604 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: take advantage when I'm just sick about it. But it 605 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: is two hundred dollars, yep. Do you know why there's 606 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: so much commercialism around the national holidays, whether it's whether 607 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 1: it's Memorial Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Flag Day, Fourth 608 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: of July. You're supposed to buy a car, or a 609 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: mattress or a furniture. You're supposed to do whatever it 610 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: is you're supposed to do. Do you know why that 611 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: continues to happen, much to the chagrin of those of 612 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: us that say, how dare you commercialize a solemn event 613 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: because it works because we keep buying the crap. If 614 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: we stop buying the crap, then it wouldn't pay off 615 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: to have the sales around those holidays. But that's exactly 616 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: what we do. It kind of blows my mind with 617 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: furniture too, because one of the nice things about buying 618 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: furniture is that most furniture places are going to offer 619 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: same day delivery, but probably not a Memorial Day, or 620 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,719 Speaker 1: if they are, that's pretty great, unless you're somebody who 621 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: works for him and then you gotta work on Memorial Day. Hopefully, 622 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: if you're working on Memorial Day delivering furniture, mattresses and 623 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 1: things like that, hopefully somebody's giving you something. Well, Benny 624 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: on the side, there maybe somebody giving you a little 625 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: tip on the way out the door. Thanks for setting 626 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 1: up the temper Peeding's a little cash ola on the side, 627 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,359 Speaker 1: Appreciate your efforts. And it doesn't seem to be We've 628 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 1: got high inflation, and as I mentioned earlier in the show, 629 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: it seems like when when the pandemic hit, we just 630 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: money started getting saved. We couldn't go out to eat, 631 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: so we had to cook our own food. We started 632 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 1: saving money. Inflation hadn't really hit very, very hard until 633 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,839 Speaker 1: earlier this year, I guess late last year, and so 634 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: we couldn't go out to spend the money. We couldn't 635 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: go to the movie theater. The restaurants weren't open, or 636 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 1: if they were, it was, you know, it was takeout 637 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: only or whatever it might be, right, And so we 638 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:42,760 Speaker 1: were sort of squirreling money away. And now with inflation, 639 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: we're starting to see that while people are griping about 640 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 1: the cost of products, we're still spending the money like 641 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 1: it's like it doesn't matter. CBS had a story about 642 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: this free prices are up due to inflation. But we 643 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,399 Speaker 1: spoke to some shoppers here who didn't seem to bother 644 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,720 Speaker 1: them at all. I mean, they're going in there knowing 645 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: full well that it's expensive. Are you noticing any of 646 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: the prices while you're in Oh, yeah, they're a lot 647 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 1: higher here. It's no secret. Food prices are up everywhere. 648 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 1: According to the Consumer Price Index, supermarket food prices have 649 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: jumped ten point four percent in April compared to April 650 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one. Doesn't it feel like it's more 651 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 1: than that? Though? And I think the reason it feels 652 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 1: like it's more than that is that we notice those 653 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 1: products that have gone up more than that. Because not 654 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 1: everything has gone up just ten percent across the board. 655 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 1: Some things have gone up far more. Somethings haven't gone 656 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 1: up quite as much. And so when you start seeing 657 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: prices on some you know, poultry for instance, has gone 658 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: up way more, we go, my gosh, I can't believe 659 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 1: how high the prices are. Rebecca Stewart has a lot 660 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: of mouths to feed. Her family's here on vacation from Idaho, 661 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 1: and she even felt the California difference. We spent like 662 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: three hundred dollars normally would be like one hundred and 663 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: fifty back home. Okay, but you went to California, right, 664 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 1: this is what's driving me bonkers. Oh, I can't believe 665 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: how expensive California is. Okay, Well, let's go on vacation. 666 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: Where do you want to go? Oh, California? Okay, Well 667 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,479 Speaker 1: it's gonna be more expensive, right, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, 668 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: you're right, California's more expensive, so yeah, okay, and then 669 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 1: local camera crew shows up microphone in your face. We're like, 670 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 1: can't believe how expensive it is here. We spent all 671 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: this money on airline tickets, are on fuel, and those 672 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: prices have all gone up. And then we got here 673 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:32,280 Speaker 1: and we had to pay more for our groceries. Duh, 674 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 1: what do you think you've been complaining about from back 675 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 1: home for the last fifty years?

I mean, now I 681 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 1: didn't look at prices. Why's that? He's just money there? Okay, 682 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 1: I want to kind of mock her for that, but 683 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,839 Speaker 1: I mean she's kind of got the right attitude. As 684 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 1: long as you have the disposable income, you know, you're 685 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 1: not borrowing out of your kids college fund or anything then, 686 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 1: and you're not willing to change your lifestyle, then why 687 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 1: complain about it?
