And we talk sometimes 9 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 2: on this show Booth Buck and myself we're pretty big 10 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 2: history nerds, and Buck, I will say one of the 11 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 2: coolest things I've ever gotten to do from a history 12 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 2: nerd perspective. 13 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've gotten to go. I don't 14 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 1: know if we've talked about this. 15 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 2: I got to go to spend the day touring the 16 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 2: beaches of Normandy several years ago. And when you get 17 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 2: to the United States Cemetery there and you see all 18 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 2: of those white crosses as far as you can see. 19 00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 2: Of those you know, young teenage twenty somethings at best 20 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 2: oftentimes are in their thirties, but most of the time 21 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 2: much younger than that, and you see the ground that 22 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:12,199 Speaker 2: they stormed. It's an incredibly ennobling experience. And what's wild 23 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 2: is even seventy some odd years after January June sixth 24 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 2: of nineteen forty four, you can still see that ground. 25 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: It still looks very similar. It's hallowed ground, but still farms. 26 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 2: It hasn't changed very much in that area of France. 27 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 2: And so as we sort of move into Memorial Day, 28 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 2: obviously a lot of you also are going to be 29 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 2: hanging out with friends. I know, Buck down in Miami, 30 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 2: you're gonna have some friends over to your and Carrie's place. 31 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 2: I'm sure that we'll do the same in the Nashville area, 32 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: spend some time with friends and family. Much less serious 33 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 2: than honoring all those who have given us the opportunity 34 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 2: to have the freedoms that we do. A big part 35 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: of typically Memorial Day for a lot of people is 36 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 2: grilling out. He starts to celebrate the start of summer. 37 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 2: And we're in an incredible inflection point here, by which 38 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know that we have ever seen 39 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 2: people out there who are on the right, who are conservatives, 40 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 2: who are independent, who are reasonable, rising up against brands. 41 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: And I don't know how many of you have seen 42 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 2: this footage out there, And I want to give you 43 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 2: a preview of where I think this is going. Bud 44 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 2: Light is basically giving away their beer now I mean 45 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 2: Walmart's everywhere grocery stores, if you're out like. 46 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: A thousands per dollar, right, I mean yes. 47 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 2: And I think what they're doing Buck is they've gotten 48 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 2: so desperate because nobody is buying bud Light that they 49 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 2: are basically giving it away and they're going to be 50 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 2: losing tens of millions of dollars in revenue in the process. 51 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 2: But they're just trying to get rid of their product. 52 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: Now. 53 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 2: It's like when you've overloaded on inventory and people haven't 54 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: bought what you want, and they're going to try to say, well, 55 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 2: we've reversed the collapse in our business because over a 56 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 2: Memorial Day weekend, their volume theoretically may go back up 57 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 2: because so many people are going to go out and buy. 58 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,119 Speaker 1: You see this, though, the poster is reporting that bud 59 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: Light truck drivers have been flipped the bird and called 60 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: homophobic slurs. Just I know this audience already knows this, 61 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: But the bud Light truck drivers are not to blame 62 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: in any of this. They had no part of the 63 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: first of all, the you shouldn't do this to anybody anyway. 64 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: You shouldn't be, you know, profane and nasty to people 65 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: you don't know for no reason. But you know, it's 66 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: one thing to choose not to buy a product. It's 67 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: another thing to you know, to take it out of 68 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: because I actually I bring it up because I feel 69 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: bad for the bud Light truck drivers because those guys, 70 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: first of all, listen to this show. Yeah, they're on 71 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,119 Speaker 1: our team for the most part, and you know they're 72 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: they're paying a financial price here, and I think that 73 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: can get lost in all this. I'm not saying that 74 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that in the end, we got to do 75 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: these things and this is the way it's going to be, 76 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: but it may be something to think about. You know, 77 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: if you happen to be a I don't know, man, 78 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: if you know some guy who's a conservative poons of beer, 79 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: maybe he could help some of these guys out, get 80 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: them a transport other beer. 81 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 2: Well, I think what has to happen is what is happening, 82 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: and there's gonna be some collateral damage along the way. 83 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 2: And yes, certainly you should treat people with respect who 84 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: are out, you know, busting their asses to try to 85 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: keep this economy rolling. As opposed to Democrats who are 86 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 2: primarily sitting in their air conditioning, still arguing that the 87 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 2: lockdowns made a lot of sense when everybody out there 88 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 2: who had to keep the country running never actually got 89 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 2: to lockdown, which almost no one talks about. 90 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: In grocery store stockers. We're just gas station projective of 91 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,119 Speaker 1: our truckers here after years and years of doing radio. 92 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: The truckers are like a special family within the family. 93 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: But what you're seeing is, I think this is a 94 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: big deal. Disney is now taking it on the chin. 95 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: Target taking it on the chin, bud Light taking it 96 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: on the chin to the extent that bud Light is 97 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: now almost diverb where brands are sitting around saying we 98 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: don't want to get bud lighted. Target stock price has 99 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: collapsed billions of dollars in lost market capitalization, as many 100 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: of you out there listening to us right now, particularly 101 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: moms who I would say are the backbone of the 102 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: Target shopper, are deciding, you know what, I'm not going 103 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: to go out and spend my money with a company 104 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: like Target which is thumbing its nose at us. And 105 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: the fact that Disney has become a battleground here is 106 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: really kind of fascinating to me. 107 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: And Trump has come out. We played the audio yesterday 108 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 2: of Donald Trump talking about Ron DeSantis and he basically 109 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 2: Trump has taken the side of Disney. DeSantis came out 110 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 2: and said, look, Trump's taking Disney side. Listen to this 111 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 2: discussion last night with I Believe Eric Bowling on Newsmax 112 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 2: buck Listen to this. 113 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 3: Some of the things he's been attacking me on. I've 114 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 3: been a little surprised at because he's attacking me from 115 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 3: the left, and that really wasn't that Donald Trump from 116 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 3: twenty fifteen to twenty six he was a hard charger, 117 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 3: leaning in on all the issues, very edgy on conservative issues, 118 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 3: and it was part of the reason he did so well. 119 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 3: But when he's taken Disney side against me, I just 120 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 3: kind of wonder, like, Okay, I get he wants to 121 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 3: hit me, but don't take the side of a multinational 122 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 3: corporation that wants the sexualized kids. He's also hitting me 123 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 3: against voting against immigration amnesty, to hit me for being 124 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 3: taken the America first position, I just think is a 125 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 3: little strange. I'm not sure what his strategy is, but 126 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 3: I think he's taking positions that are a little bit 127 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 3: different than four or five years ago. 128 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 2: Would you have ever believed, Buck, because I candidly would 129 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 2: not that a Republican primary debate would be fought over 130 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 2: whether Disney should be supported or not. This, to me 131 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 2: is a testament to how much of a disaster Bob 132 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 2: Eiger's leadership of Disney. And I saw it initially coming, Buck, 133 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 2: because I saw what they did to ESPN, and so 134 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 2: the way that they turned ESPN, which used to be 135 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 2: you know, I get up in my in the morning, Buck, 136 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 2: I'd pour my my cereal wash it. 137 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: In college it was sports Yeah, you put on Sports Center. 138 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: I know, we're crazy. You put on Sports Center, you 139 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: would see you who won or not? 140 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 2: And now you know, Dan Patrick and Keith Oberman back 141 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 2: in the day were an iconic duo on Sports Center. 142 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 2: Now Keith Oberman is sending tweets at you and me 143 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 2: like that are just drained, completely deranged, lunatic. But what 144 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 2: is happening with Disney. I saw happen at a ESPN. 145 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 2: That's why I found it out, Kick, and now I 146 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 2: see it going on at the larger corporate level, and 147 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: I do think it's strange, Buck. I mean, you tell 148 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 2: me if you disagree. I think it's strange that Donald 149 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 2: Trump is coming down on the side of Disney when 150 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 2: the bills that were put in place in Florida don't teach, 151 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 2: you know, kindergarten, first, second, third graders about sex related issues. 152 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 2: I got a second grader. He just finished school, by 153 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 2: the way, yesterday, he's now for the summer. Congrats to 154 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 2: Nash my youngest. I don't want him taught sex related 155 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 2: things and second grade like that. That's absurd. And so 156 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 2: the idea that Trump would be, as he put out 157 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 2: his attack ad on DeSantis yesterday that we played on 158 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 2: the show, coming down on the side of Disney and 159 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 2: against DeSantis, is really strange because now Trump's on the 160 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 2: side of big business. 161 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: Look. I think one thing we're gonna see is that 162 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: for people for whom Trump is already the guy, there 163 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: will be a sense that how did he win in 164 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen? And it was this, you know, ambush, no rules, 165 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: do whatever you do to win becausepaign, but because that's 166 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: what you're up against with the Democrats. So this anything, 167 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: no holds barred, anything goes and and that worked in 168 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. And it worked also because he was a 169 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: true political outsider. And so the question now becomes, as 170 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: a former president and somebody who had four years in office, 171 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: can you really do that again? Because now you don't 172 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: just know that you were the system. And this is 173 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: another part of it that people keep saying, Oh, he's 174 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: an outsider. You're not a political outsider when you were 175 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 1: the president. I hate to be maybe a little a 176 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: little harsh on this, but you're no longer now. That 177 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you don't have an outsider's mentality about d C. 178 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: It doesn't. But we have to add some perspective here. 179 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: It's not someone who does it. It's not like, oh, 180 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: I've the guy had the nuclear codes. Yeah, I mean 181 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: this is this is the absolute top of the government 182 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: is being the president. And so I just wonder how 183 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: the strategy works. Now to your point about DeSantis and Disney, 184 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: to take whatever position in the primary is advantageous in 185 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: his mind to win, does that work irrespective of what 186 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: it would change for a general election position, right, because 187 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: I think and correct me if I'm wrong. If there's 188 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: some people who are all in and we heard from 189 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: like three all in Trump supporters just in the last hour. 190 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: You're all in on Trump already in the primary. Is 191 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: this just Trump doing what he has to do to 192 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: outflank DeSantis because this is a no holds barred primary, 193 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: or is this Trump actually changed, Is this really his 194 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: position or is this just to beat DeSantis? That's essentially 195 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 1: what I'm asking. 196 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, and my question would be, what does Trump disagree 197 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 2: about what DeSantis has done with Disney? Because I'm gonna 198 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 2: be honest with you every step of the way that Remember, 199 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 2: Disney threw the first punch at Ron DeSantis, and you 200 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 2: can say, and this was there coming out against the 201 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 2: bill that huge majorities of parents support, which is why 202 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 2: I think it's emblematic of how much Disney has lost 203 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 2: their way. Remember what Disney did. They came out and said, 204 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 2: we disagree with a Florida bill that doesn't allow sexuality 205 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 2: to be taught to kindergarten, first, second and third graders. 206 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 2: I mean, why in the world did Disney take that 207 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 2: perspective in the first place. Disney's perspective is radical left 208 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 2: wing here and not supported by most parents. So if 209 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 2: you're DeSantis, you could take that punch, right, Sometimes you 210 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 2: take a punch and not respond. But no, DeSantis came 211 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 2: back and said, wait a minute, Disney. If you're going 212 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 2: to try to tell Florida people how we can raise 213 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 2: our kids, then I'm not going to allow you to 214 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 2: get favorable political treatment when it comes to zoning on 215 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 2: your amusement parks, the so called Reedy Creek, which is 216 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 2: basically just given Disney the ability to do whatever they 217 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 2: want with that property. 218 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 1: We're not going to give you special treatment. So then 219 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: they took away that like that scenes it's totally rational 220 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: to me. Well, it seems to me also that at 221 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: the state level, that's what Disney had its kind of 222 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: the swamp. I know disneylove preparation all this stuff, but yeah, 223 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: but they had a special deal. They had a extra 224 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: edge over their competitive. 225 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 2: Universal studios and see world don't have for instance. 226 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: So isn't the swamp when it's people that are leveraging 227 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 1: their connections to get at unfair advantages over other players. 228 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: So to me and I, you know, swamps in Florida 229 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: mean a different thing. I think there swamps are beloved 230 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: wetlands down here, they're not swamps. But you all know 231 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: what I mean. It's a different situation a little bit. 232 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: So you know, again, and when we ask these questions 233 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: and we're gonna go to calls in the back half 234 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: of this hour or two on this you know, we 235 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: really put it out there. We're we're just watching and 236 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: observing this primary too, like all of you, and trying 237 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: to understand the strategies. And you know, there's gonna be 238 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: hits for both sides. There's gonna be misses for both sides. 239 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: And I think we're gonna learn. We're gonna learn a 240 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: lot in the weeks ahead about how all this stuff 241 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: is being addressed. But I mean, I think that we 242 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: always have to be rooted in what is reality? What 243 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: do we know? And I've never seen I don't understand. 244 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: The argument about Disney and DeSantis within the right seemed 245 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: to me like it was already said of the long 246 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: time before the primary, which is, unless you want Woll 247 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: Corporations telling your twelve year olds that they're at actually transgender, 248 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: you gotta do something. Yeah, And and look, I understand 249 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: the idea. In nineteen sixty nine, I think was when 250 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: Disney uh basically opened Disney World or began to buy 251 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: all that property. Florida was a different place, so they 252 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,599 Speaker 1: were super excited for Disney to come. I think a 253 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: lot of people who are in Florida now, are like, Yeah, 254 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: Disney's fortunate to be located in Florida because guess what, 255 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: they kept disney World open when Disneyland got shut down 256 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: for a year. 257 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 2: So I'm actually curious eight hundred and two eight two 258 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 2: two eight eight two what would you argue Desantus did 259 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 2: wrong with Florida? Uh as it pertains to the battle 260 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 2: with Disney, Because if Trump's gonna rip him on the 261 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 2: relationship with Disney, and I would say the same thing 262 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 2: to Trump, what would you have done different? Because when 263 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 2: I look at the way that the Disney battle went, 264 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 2: I don't know that I would change anything. So if 265 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 2: you're out there listening to us right now again target 266 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 2: bud Light, I think people uh parents, Conservatives, people on 267 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 2: the right, people on the middle, people maybe even a 268 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 2: little bit to the left, are finally fighting back against 269 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 2: this woke agenda. What did they get wrong? What if 270 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 2: you're supporting the Trump attack on Disney, what did DeSantis 271 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 2: do wrong? Because I don't see it. I don't see 272 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 2: that as a fertile attack. And I also just don't 273 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 2: see that Desantas did anything wrong at all. 274 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: Eight hunder two two two eight A two Light it up, 275 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: tell us what you think. I hope you have the 276 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: chance to join me earlier this week for an exclusive 277 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: interview with an extraordinary market analyst by the name Mason Sexton. 278 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: That sounds familiar, well it's because, yeah, that's right.

Okay, I tease this and I 362 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 2: saw these quotes, and Buck and I we're texting this 363 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 2: story back and forth because it was just so crazy. 364 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: This guy, this Florida guy. 365 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 2: I want everybody to be careful out there, especially if 366 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 2: you're going down to Florida for the holidays. Here this guy, 367 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 2: Jordan Rivera, said the line was too long at the bathroom, 368 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 2: so he decided to go down by the lake to 369 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 2: go pee. And here's his quotes. These are real quotes. 370 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 2: I just saw a little lake, so I was trying 371 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 2: to go over there and take a little pee. Say, 372 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 2: he didn't realize how big the pond actually was. 373 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: This is a quote. 374 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 2: Something happened where I either tripped or the ground below 375 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 2: me kind of just went down and I ended up 376 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 2: in the water. And that's literally the last thing I remember. Okay, Buck, 377 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but I'm gonna bet that 378 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 2: this guy was pretty drunk. Because when you say something 379 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 2: happened where I either tripped or the ground below me 380 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 2: kind of went down and I ended up in the water, 381 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 2: it's bad enough to end up in the water. He 382 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 2: ended up in the water with a ten foot alligator 383 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 2: that took his arm. Here's a quote. I looked over 384 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 2: and I saw my arm the way it was, and 385 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 2: I was like, whoa. It was the craziest thing. It 386 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 2: was almost like out of a movie. And then we 387 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 2: had the quot where he says I didn't lose my life. 388 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 2: He says they don't even serve food. He said he 389 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,719 Speaker 2: wanted this is the other thing. He said, there's gossip 390 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 2: that he decided he was going to go hand feed 391 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 2: an alligator, and he said he wants to dispel that rumor. 392 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 2: They don't even serve food at the bar. Couldn't have 393 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 2: even served the gator food. It's completely not true. And 394 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 2: he said again, these guys saved his life. Another amazing quote. 395 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 2: The first thing I would do is shake the man's hand, 396 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 2: said Rivera, perhaps forgetting that he lost the arm, said 397 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 2: it feels like it's kind of there. 398 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: Anyway, angel saved him. The US rest question wrapped on 399 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: him to stop the bleeding, to try to try to 400 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: to save this arm. 401 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 2: All right, So I would say, of all the things 402 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 2: that could happen when you leave and go outside, buck 403 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 2: full disclosure. Have you ever left a crowded bar because 404 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 2: you couldn't get to the bathroom and gone outside to. 405 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: Plead the fifth on this matter, I will just will 406 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: I will admit to it. 407 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 2: I one hundred percent have seen long lines in the 408 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 2: bathroom before gone outside. This guy was just gonna go 409 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 2: pee in the pee in the lake, he says. Next 410 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 2: thing you know, he's attacked by an alligator and loses 411 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 2: his arm. That is the worst result of the bar 412 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 2: line being too too long for the bathroom. 413 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,719 Speaker 1: So I gave you the options if you're meeting your 414 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: maker because shark, crocodile, bear, or lion attack. And I 415 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: have data to back this up. I think I think 416 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: it's crocodile, and I'll tell you why my worst I 417 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: think crocodile would be the worst. I know alligator, crocodile, 418 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: this is an alex, but you know this is a 419 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: large reptile that eats you. I'll tell you my theory 420 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: on why it's the worst. Two analysis points one in 421 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: the water. 422 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 2: I think not only would you be likely to be 423 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 2: attacked by an alligator or a crocodile, you would know 424 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 2: that you were being eaten, ripped to pieces, but I 425 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 2: also think the likelihood is you probably would drown, So 426 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 2: drowning is supposedly an. 427 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: Awful way to go. They do the death roll, that's right. 428 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, So I think you combine getting killed by a 429 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 2: live animal and also drowning, which sounds like the worst 430 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 2: possible way to go other than like getting burned to 431 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 2: death or something, which. 432 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: I will tell you it was. It was shocking to 433 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: see there are this little pole, little Friday pole. There 434 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: are thousands of people that weighed in four thousand plus votes. 435 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: Crocodile came in with the worst way to think in 436 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: the animal kingdom at least of these options. I wanted 437 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: to throw hippopotamus on there, because they're actually incredibly dangerous, 438 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: and I just feel like no one, you know, going 439 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: by a hippo would be like getting eaten by a 440 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: panda bear, Like we still think of them as cute 441 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: even though they're actually quite dangerous. But it was fascinating 442 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: to read the analysis that people came up with Clay. 443 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 1: In the comments, people went deep on the like various 444 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, there must be a lot of 445 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 1: ems folks that are following me on Twitter because they're 446 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: talking about the difference in how but everyone was like, lion, 447 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 1: no big deal. Lions are apparently they're just like, Ah, 448 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 1: they grabbed you by the neck, You're out like a light, 449 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 1: no problem. I think they would end you quickly. Yeah, 450 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: they say end quickly. Shark, you're talking massive blood loss trauma. 451 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: That probably also pretty fast, all things considered. Although just 452 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: being in the water, which you also have with the crocodile, 453 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: very scary. Some of the folks that wait him with 454 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: the bear one. The bear one was actually way worse 455 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: than I thought it would be because apparently bears they 456 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: kind of maul slowly. So anyway, people went very deep 457 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: into the comments here. Crocodile was the winner of the 458 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: worst A bad way to go? What do you think 459 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: happened to this guy? Do you think he was just 460 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: My theory would be super drunk, super drunk, passed out 461 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: and then the allegant because I don't believe the alligator 462 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: was there, like coming out of the water. Yeah, like 463 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 1: I think he probably passed out at the water's edge 464 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 1: where alligators are bush hunters. It's where they do it. 465 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: And and then you know it was, you know, it 466 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: just went for it. 467 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 2: I don't know, I mean that is I mean again 468 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 2: when he says, like I was standing by the water, 469 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 2: and I bet he started to have a little bit 470 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 2: of the spins. Maybe he had a lot of drinks 471 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 2: and then he just went in the water. 472 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: He's like he did drink. I asked carry this question recently, 473 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: and as a as a transplanted New Yorker. It's just 474 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: I feel like people that live in these areas would 475 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: never think about this. So the the the habitat of 476 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: the American alligator goes up into it's obviously Florida's like 477 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: you know, Grand Central for alligators, right, and then you 478 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: go up and uh and you see it. Georgia plenty 479 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: of alligators. Parts of eastern Texas. There are alley of 480 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: southeastern Texas their alligators. But right around like the Carolinas, 481 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: it starts to stop, right like you said, the range 482 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: slows down. But I asked, this is a real question. 483 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: We probably have an there must be a zone where 484 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: you think, oh, I'll just go swimming in my lake 485 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: house because there's like there's no gators up here. But actually, 486 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 1: you know, I mean I think like like maybe part 487 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,679 Speaker 1: of South Carolina or part of North Carolina, like there 488 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: have to be places where you think you're in the 489 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: safe zone and you're gonna go splashing around in the pond, 490 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: but maybe you've got a gator that's you know, got 491 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: a fleece, got a vest on or something. It's a 492 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: great point. 493 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 2: And also Florida people can get pretty cocky because you know, 494 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 2: you'll be out on your boat, you'll be out jet skiing, 495 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 2: you'll be out. They're not as afraid of alligators as 496 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 2: I would say a lot of people elsewhere are. And 497 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 2: the other aspect of this is that that is such 498 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 2: a good point because there are places like Memphis, for instance, 499 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 2: has alleg I was gonna. 500 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 1: Say, I just checked yolks and Tennessee. You're you think 501 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: you're all safe in Tennessee and Clay's home state. 502 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 2: There are alligators in Tennessee, not many, there are now 503 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 2: some around Memphis. And if you're in North Alabama, I believe, 504 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 2: like around the Huntsville area where the Tennessee River, there's 505 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 2: there's certain places where there are a few alligators there. 506 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 2: It definitely seems unfair that you would, you know, go 507 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 2: jump in a lake in Memphis and suddenly you should 508 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,719 Speaker 2: all from say from Allegay. 509 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: But then you know, that. I mean, there was a 510 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: there was one. I mean, it's a total, like the 511 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: odds of this are one in a million. 512 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 4: You know. 513 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: There was a great white a great white shark attack, 514 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: a fatal one up off the islands of Maine. That 515 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: happened a few years ago. So there's sometimes things, crazy 516 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: things happen. 517 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 2: There's a great shark attack book about I think it 518 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 2: was like in the nineteen twenties, and it's part of 519 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 2: what inspired Jaws. 520 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: A great Matawan creek, I know, Oh, dude, could see 521 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: we're talking with Moto one Creek all the time. Three 522 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: attacks in a few days. They think it was a 523 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: bull shark nineteen eleven, maybe I think it was. 524 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 2: This was like way off the coast, right, somebody's seven 525 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 2: miles inland, seven miles inland. You just jump into a 526 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 2: freshwater creek and you get killed by a. 527 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: Nineteen sixteen off in the Jersey shore, there was a 528 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: brackish creek connecting to the ocean. It was nineteen sixteen. 529 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 2: That's a great book. What's the name of the book 530 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 2: that they wrote about this. They think it was one 531 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 2: shark that killed tons of people because at the time, 532 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 2: and it goes all into the. 533 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: History close to shore, the terrifying shark attacks of nineteen sixteen, 534 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 1: is that the one I read. 535 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 2: I may be the book I read, A fantastic one 536 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,239 Speaker 2: about this particular shark attack where they think it was one. 537 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: There's one called I Survived the Shark Attacks. Well that's 538 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: for kids, Oh and I Survived books are actually my 539 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 1: boys really liked the I Survived Shark Attack books.

It's only the 553 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: beach as leisure that has really kind of taken off 554 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 1: in the last hundred years in many ways. Yes, So 555 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 1: it's a fascinating kind of portrayal about the way that 556 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 1: Americans decide to spend their time and what the dangers 557 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: are associated with it. 558 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 2: So put it on the radar.

It was fantastic. The 602 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 2: book is called Close to Shore The Terrifying Shark Attacks 603 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 2: of nineteen sixteen. Michael Capuzo is the author. I don't 604 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 2: know how long the book has been out. 605 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: I read it. 606 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 2: It's really well done. It supposedly was the story that 607 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 2: provided the idea to Peter Benchley, who wrote the novel Jaws, 608 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 2: which was then obviously turned into the fabulously successful Steven 609 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 2: Spielberg movie, which actually buck began. I believe I'm correcting this. 610 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 2: I think Jaws was the beginning of the summer movie blockbuster. 611 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 2: And I think Jaws came out in like, what did 612 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 2: Jaws come out in nineteen seventy six? 613 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: That sounds I had to check. That sounds about right. 614 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: Let me just say the Mattawan Creek was if you 615 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: haven't seen it, it is very narrow at some points. 616 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: You're talking about a creek that is at some of 617 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: the attacks were six or seven miles from the ocean 618 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: and the creek. If you look at the photo, the 619 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: creek is not very wide. You would never believe a 620 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: shark kid in. It gets to be about eight to 621 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: ten feet in some places, which when you think of 622 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: a ten foot creek. The notion that you could be 623 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: attacked by a man and it killed I believe with 624 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: the three people, I think maybe attack three killed two, 625 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: but severe shark attacks in a short period of time. 626 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: They believe that it was a bull shark because of 627 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: the brackish nature. Is that what it's said in the book, 628 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: by the way, that's always what I've read. Yeah, that's 629 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: a great question. Some people have said that, oh, but 630 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: maybe it was like a road great white. I believe 631 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: that most of the zoologists out there were what are 632 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: the people that are, you know, the water zoologists you 633 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: know I'm talking about, yeah, animal marine biologists, marine biologists 634 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: or zoologist who cares? Point is they think it's a 635 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: bull shark. Interesting Interesting about bull sharks. They're believed to 636 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: have the highest testosterone levels of any animal in the world, 637 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: and they can go into fresh as well as salt water, 638 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: so they're taking a lot of Chalcose bull sharks. This 639 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,239 Speaker 1: was a great white they think all on they think 640 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: it was a great white. Yeah, that was I thought 641 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: that creek I had always had, I had read in 642 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: other shark attack books. They believe it was a bull 643 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: You you would lead, you would love. I mean, I 644 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: think everybody out there, if you like this, show close 645 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: to Shore again The Terrifying Shark Attacks of twenty nineteen sixteen. 646 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: It's a fabulous book. 647 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 2: Now, if you're gonna it's it's not necessarily the one 648 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 2: you want to read while you're sitting at the beach 649 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 2: because interesting. 650 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: So they say they caught a seven foot, two hundred 651 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 1: and thirty pound bull shark at the mouth of Mattawan, 652 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: But there are some people who say that it was 653 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: actually a white shark. But because of the nature anyway, 654 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: do we have a do we have a marine biologist 655 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: in the audience who could weigh in on this one. 656 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 2: I bet a lot of other people have read this 657 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 2: book because it was a bestseller back in the day 658 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 2: when it came out. And again we're probably gonna make 659 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 2: this author a ton of money because I bet he 660 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 2: hasn't had an endorsement like this. 661 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: It's a great beach reading. 662 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 2: But then all of a sudden you're like, yeah, yeah, 663 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 2: I don't necessarily it's the best one, but yeah. July 664 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 2: nineteen sixteen alone, great White left its usual deep ocean habitat, 665 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 2: headed along the New Jersey shoreline and in Beech Haveaven 666 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 2: in Spring Lake. And this was, by the way, eleven 667 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 2: miles inland. The most ferocious and unpredictable of predators began 668 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 2: a deadly rampage, the first shark attacks on swimmers in 669 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 2: US history. Because again it's really kind of fascinating. They 670 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 2: never believed up to that point necessarily that sharks were 671 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 2: this dangerous to humans. And so anyway, you will love it. 672 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 2: It's all about the history of sharks and swimming and 673 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 2: bathing and everything else associated with the beach lifestyle. Because 674 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:14,320 Speaker 2: this was basically as the beach lifestyle began common to exist. 675 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 2: You know, the idea that you'd put on a bathing 676 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 2: suit and go swim in the ocean for fun was 677 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 2: not something that in the eighteen hundreds necessarily existed at all. 678 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: It's a very good point. Also, I wonder I've seen 679 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 1: stuff about how even some people who were especially if 680 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 1: you were impressed into naval service and you're forced to 681 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: in the age of the great sailing ships, like not 682 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: everybody knew how to swim. Oh imagine imagine being out 683 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: there on a ship in the middle of the ocean. 684 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: It's like, if this thing, even if you were withinside 685 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,720 Speaker 1: a shore, this thing goes down, I'm in rough shape. 686 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 2: One of the things that was so great we were 687 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 2: talking earlier about. It's obviously Memorial Day, another great book 688 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 2: about the soldiers who decided to jump into behind enemy 689 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 2: lines on the Nazis. Many of the guys in the 690 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,399 Speaker 2: hundred and for Stairborne Buck who ended up jumping out 691 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 2: and fighting Nazis the first time they ever went up 692 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:06,800 Speaker 2: in an airplane. 693 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 1: They jumped out of it. 694 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that is a That is a detail 695 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,240 Speaker 2: for everybody out there who's ever been in an airplane. 696 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,399 Speaker 2: How badass were these kids? These were you know, farm guys. 697 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 2: They'd hardly ever been anywhere, they'd never been in an airplane. 698 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 2: Can you imagine the first time you got in an 699 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 2: airplane jumping out with a parachute. 700 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,319 Speaker 1: I still have I've actually never have you ever done. 701 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: I'm terrified to skydive in the first place. They used 702 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: to want to like height Langley used to as part 703 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,360 Speaker 1: of our basic training and CIA there was some skydiving 704 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:35,840 Speaker 1: I think way back in the day, but then the 705 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: nerds took over and we're like, I had a lot 706 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: of spraying ankles, so you know. 707 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 2: But can you imagine the first time you ever got 708 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 2: in an airplane? If you can remember out there listening 709 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 2: to us right now, the first time you got an 710 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 2: air airplane? How awe inspiring, how terrifying, how amazing it 711 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,799 Speaker 2: is to be up above the clouds. The first time 712 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 2: you ever went up in an airplane, you jumped out 713 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,399 Speaker 2: of it. This is a different level of bravery from 714 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 2: those guys to the very first time. And then of 715 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 2: course you jump out of an airplane while getting shot 716 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 2: at by Nazis and fight them.
