1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,000 Live from the historic river market in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, from the crystal blue waters of the Missouri River, it's two douchebags and a microphone podcast. 2 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,000 Two monkey fuckers and a toaster will be right back. 3 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:24,000 Our constant pursuit for a real knee slapper. It's strange insults from an alien. Real hilarity. 4 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:31,000 You are dressed like an assistant event coach at an Ohio State Middle School. 5 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000 Hey everybody, this is Two Douchebags and a Microphone. I'm Mark. 6 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,000 And I'm Rob. 7 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:55,000 Rob, we were just talking off air. You have an interesting story that I want to hear about. So please. 8 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000 I bet you do. I bet a lot of people want to hear this. 9 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000 Please, be my guest. 10 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:09,000 If you want to check it out, I found this on Futurism. 11 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000 Okay. 12 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,000 Talking about hitting the mark. Sorry, we have to. 13 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:34,000 Met a formerly Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, an avid Jujitsu devotee and fighting fan, took to Instagram on Sunday to show off his recent training trophies. 14 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:54,000 Rich amount to not one, but two black eyes. And considering that the picture is a close up selfie that captures just the hint of a smize, it certainly seems like Zeko was believed to have some battle wounds to play. 15 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000 Yeah, I'm looking at it. Yeah, dude. He got nailed it. 16 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000 I'm looking at it right now. 17 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,000 He got this fucking clock clean, dude. I'm looking at it right now. 18 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:24,000 Sparring got a little out of hand, that captured the selfie. Maybe that date by avatar he added was indeed to reference to the recently revamped Metazuk. 19 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:34,000 Look, I think it's funny. There were some professional fighters that weighed in. They were saying, nice Shiner. 20 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000 You see, I love that because I do not like Zuck the fuck. 21 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:46,000 But I on the same token, though, I have to give him some credit for even doing it. 22 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000 For even getting his clock clean like that, which I enjoy. 23 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000 What do you think Elon's chances are now? 24 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000 I was getting ready to go to that. 25 00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:01,000 What do you think chance in hell that Elon could even begin to start to do anything like that to Zuck the fuck? 26 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,000 Nothing. No, none at all. 27 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:09,000 Elon would get his fucking ass mashed into the ground. 28 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:16,000 And I mean, you know, Elon would not have a prayer. And that's how come Elon shut his mouth. 29 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:26,000 He fucking he packed up his shit and he went home. He fucking grabbed the ball and he went home because he knows he knows he ain't playing in this league. 30 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,000 So I got to give Elon one thing. At least he knew enough not to get his ass kicked. 31 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,000 So yeah, yeah. 32 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000 But other than that, what a pussy move. 33 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,000 You know, at this point, in my opinion, you go in there and you get your ass kicked. 34 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,000 Then you say, you know what? I'm going to go get better and I'm going to kick the shit out of this boy next time. 35 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000 And you do it. 36 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,000 But you don't push out. Yeah, you don't push out like that. 37 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000 And also make up shit. 38 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:05,000 Yeah, you know, and no matter Twitter or X is fucking failing so bad, people just don't like the weasel. 39 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,000 You know, in my opinion, they just don't like the weasel. 40 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:15,000 They're like, you know what? I'm not going to be a part of it because I don't like the guy. So. 41 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,000 Anyhow, all right. Some some good sleuthing there, Rob. I like that. That's good. 42 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000 That that brought that brought a smile to my heart. 43 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000 I bet it did. It did. 44 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,000 It's like every time I see little Joey Burrow hit the turf, my heart warms. 45 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:42,000 All of a sudden I hear angels singing and I feel I feel this inner peace over me and I giggle uncontrollably and I laugh. 46 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000 It's great. 47 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:51,000 So anyhow, I'm going to go and do a couple of these stories that we did last week. 48 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:58,000 But if you noticed last week or not last week, but a couple of days ago, podcasts, I think it was released today. 49 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,000 It wasn't a full podcast. 50 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:09,000 One released today. Yeah, there was going to be three quarters of the podcast and then a best of on it because Rob was wearing down pretty quick. 51 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,000 He goes to work early in the morning and we decided to wrap it up. 52 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,000 Well, there was at least 25, 930 on a Sunday night. 53 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,000 Yeah, there was at least 25 more minutes that podcast. 54 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:25,000 But it had a horrible buzzing sound, some sort of electrical sound that I just could. 55 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000 And I compressed it. I cleaned it up. 56 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000 I removed the background noise and all it did was make it worse. 57 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,000 So I had to take off the first 25 or so minutes of that podcast. 58 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000 And then we started from their dish bags on. 59 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:45,000 So anyhow, I'm going to we can't replay a couple of these stories, but I can't replay them as we've done then. 60 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,000 So I'm just going to go over now and let's just act like it's brand new. 61 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,000 Rob, how's that? 62 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,000 Well, I'm going to hope I have my stories. 63 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,000 OK, that's cool. And then I think tomorrow night. 64 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,000 We'll make it up. 65 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,000 Yeah, you know what? I'll just make some shit up. Yeah, that sounds great to me. 66 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,000 That's what we do anyhow. All these stories we just made up. None of them are true. 67 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,000 Like Zuckerberg getting smashed in the face is a lie. 68 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:21,000 Rob just come up with that. He called me up beforehand. He said, hey, I'm just going to tell everyone he got smashed in the face. 69 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,000 No, not really. He did. I kind of like the idea. 70 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,000 I do, too. I do, too. I love the idea. 71 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:37,000 I hope he gets smashed in the face a lot more, but I hope he just gets smashed in the face periodically for the next three years. 72 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,000 Just like, I don't know, people, you know, know walking up, smash him in the face really good. 73 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:46,000 Then just walk off when they be thought that'd be fantastic, wouldn't it? 74 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,000 I'm honestly surprised it don't happen anymore. 75 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,000 Oh, he's probably got bodyguards. 76 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,000 Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. What's that? Oh, that's one of those things. That's what it was. 77 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:06,000 What do they call them? Humans? Oh, get them away from me. Get them away from me. 78 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:13,000 OK, anyhow, this story is a part of CNBC's Make It Six Figure Side Hustle series 79 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:19,000 where people in lucrative side hustles break down the routines and habits they've used to make money 80 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,000 on top of their full time jobs. 81 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:29,000 And this is a part of a two story, a two part story that we that we that we'll go into second. 82 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:37,000 So anyhow, it took Rodney Melton just over a year to build a six figure side hustle. 83 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:44,000 In March 2021, Melton started molding, engraving and selling headstones for pet memorials on Etsy. 84 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:52,000 He'd long worked with concrete and stone as a hobby while working 60 hours per week as a maintenance lead at Mars Pet Care. 85 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,000 He already owned fifteen thousand dollar engraver. 86 00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:00,000 Plus, he could work in a self built workshop behind his home in Alma, Arkansas, 87 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000 a town of less than six thousand people on edge of those are mountains. 88 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,000 And you and I have discussed it last podcast, which no one will hear. 89 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,000 We both know Alma, Arkansas. Well, nice, so Larry in the Valley. Yeah. 90 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,000 I've been there several times. Beautiful place. Not really big. 91 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,000 At first, it took Melton two or three days to set the headstones and molds, 92 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,000 then another five hours to engrave them for his wife added epoxy filling. 93 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,000 As a side hustle grew, revenue started pouring in. 94 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:34,000 So he used a combination of proceeds and savings to invest another fifty one thousand five hundred 95 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:41,000 in other tools like a sandblaster, granite saw and chisel and laser engraver. 96 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:47,000 Each piece of equipment minimized Melton's production time, allowing him to sell more headstones. 97 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:53,000 In May 2022, his Etsy shop brought in nearly twenty thousand dollars and Milton left his full time job. 98 00:08:53,000 --> 00:09:00,000 Now he works few hours and spends them with his family after hiring his daughter and daughter in law last summer. 99 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,000 Last year, the four person operation brought in more than two hundred and seven thousand dollars on Etsy, 100 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,000 according to documents reviewed by CNBC. 101 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,000 Make it about two thirds of that is profit. 102 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:17,000 Melton estimates that he's on track to make roughly about the same amount this year. 103 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000 Here he discusses how he built his business, why he likes working with family members 104 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,000 and what you might need to replicate his success. 105 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:30,000 So CNBC make it said, do you think the side hustle is replicable? 106 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,000 And he said, what what do you need to get started is what they asked basically. 107 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,000 Milton, anyone can do this. I'd say you need about ten thousand dollars or less to get started. 108 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:46,000 That's for cement molds and sandblast equipment. It's just a matter of having the passion for it. 109 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,000 My mom passed it then to 2020 and my dad and I were taking it really hard. 110 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,000 I started making things like concrete crosses, 3D roses and plaques, just a little memorial pieces. 111 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,000 It turned out really nice. Then my friend Carlos lost his dog, Molly. 112 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000 I think these things had a lot to do with the direction I went. 113 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,000 My heart has been in it for the people who lost their pets. 114 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:12,000 But by result, if you serve more people, you make more money. 115 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:18,000 And then they asked him, CNBC make it said, have you set any boundaries working with your family? 116 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,000 He said, not really. If you have an alpha personality and are really assertive, 117 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000 it might clash with some of your family members. 118 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,000 But you let everyone have a part in it. Things can run smoothly. 119 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,000 In the beginning, my wife and I would meet my daughter, Kristen, for lunch. 120 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,000 One day a week, we would just sit there and talk about things and brainstorm. 121 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,000 She came up with an idea for a concrete mold shaped like a dog bone. 122 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,000 We've sold thousands of dollars worth of them since. 123 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:48,000 And I say that because these two stories caught my attention. 124 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:58,000 In particular, one, the side hustle and two, side hustles are a huge thing now with Gen Zers. 125 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:04,000 Gen Zers do side hustles now, and it isn't the reason for people think. 126 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000 They think it's for extra money. 127 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000 But here's what they've said. 128 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,000 Many Gen Zers have a regular job and a side hustle to boot. 129 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:16,000 Now when asked why both answer is exactly not what I expected at all. 130 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:21,000 Turns out Gen Z's have taken notice in the generations before them, like their parents. 131 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,000 Most of them were at the mercy of the economy. 132 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,000 When things got bumpy, many of Gen Z's parents were laid off. 133 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,000 Gen Z's most common answer for the side hustle is, 134 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,000 I want to back up income so I don't get burned like my parents did. 135 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:40,000 So the generation that holds nothing sacred has more of a back up plan than all the others? 136 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,000 And like you were saying Rob, I do remember you tell me this. 137 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,000 You always take side hustles for extra money, right? 138 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000 Yeah, yeah. 139 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:55,000 I always have. I mean I've always had side work after my 40 hours. 140 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,000 You gotta make that extra money man. 141 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000 Yeah, yeah. 142 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,000 So, I mean, but Gen Zers are doing it so they don't get burned. 143 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,000 I mean, shit. 144 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,000 You know, I never really, growing up I never really thought about starting my own business. 145 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:16,000 It's funny how generations have come up, right? 146 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,000 Yeah. 147 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:23,000 What the biggest deal was, we didn't have the internet to sell shit or do a side hustle when we were growing up. 148 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:29,000 So if the internet was going on when I was young, I could have started a lawn mowing network. 149 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,000 I could have started a landscaping network. 150 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:37,000 I did have my own landscaping and lawn business in the 90s. 151 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,000 But if I would have had the internet, how it would have taken off even more. 152 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,000 I sold it and went to trade school and all that. 153 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,000 But you know, I can't say I made the wrong move because I made a really good living doing what I do. 154 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:56,000 But if I would have had the internet then I could not imagine how many lawns I could have sold or whatever. 155 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,000 You know? 156 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:09,000 So Gen Zers have a much bigger distinctive advantage by having the internet to be able to let people know about their product and what to do. 157 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:15,000 You see, and that's something that you and I need to get together with and brainstorm. 158 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,000 The podcast is doing phenomenally well. 159 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:27,000 Do you love being able to look at the RSS feed and see what's going on and where these up and coming neighborhoods are and how we're exploding? 160 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,000 I love it. 161 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000 Isn't it great? 162 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:39,000 Imagine if we learn how to work this thing and really get on the map how much more this podcast will explode, Rob. 163 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,000 I'm wearing my shirt to the concert Friday night. 164 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,000 That's great. Good. 165 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,000 I'm going to spread our name. 166 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,000 Good. 167 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:58,000 Well, I'm going to find out because I'm going to start going to the city market on, you know, whenever I have a weekend off, a weekend day off. 168 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,000 And I'm going to be down there with you on my Bluetooth casting. 169 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:09,000 And then anyone that wants to come up and podcast is fine, like we're doing before. 170 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:20,000 And anyhow, but what I'm going to do instead of the banner we used to have is I'm getting a big thick board that has two douchebags and microfilm engraved in it. 171 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,000 And it will be like an A-frame board. 172 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,000 And it's going to be sitting there. 173 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:29,000 I think that will work better because the wind won't blow it down and it will look fantastic. 174 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:34,000 And on that board, what I plan on doing is having a QR code. 175 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,000 People come up, they talk, they turn around, they hit the QR code. 176 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,000 It takes them straight to our to our podcast. 177 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,000 They go home. 178 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,000 Hey, the podcast will be out Tuesday. 179 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:51,000 OK, they listen to it, get a couple of ha ha's and then there. 180 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,000 There's another listener. 181 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:58,000 And there's other things we can do to there's keywords on Google and stuff like that you can do. 182 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:06,000 So anyhow, we're working on it and we are we are a work in progress. 183 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000 I hope everybody likes the new intro. 184 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000 Do you like the new intro intro? 185 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,000 Oh, I love it. 186 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,000 Yeah. 187 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,000 I'm going to jazz it up even more, though. 188 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,000 But I like I like some of those. 189 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,000 I'm sure you will. 190 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,000 The new segments Things Overheard in Hell is going over well. 191 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,000 I had three emails about that saying Bravo. 192 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,000 It's brilliant. 193 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:38,000 It's the one that I got the comment about was the Axl Rose is such a great childhood therapist. 194 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,000 I hope he puts out another book. 195 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,000 The guy said he almost choked on his fucking ramen noodles. 196 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,000 Listen to that. 197 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,000 I replied back. 198 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000 I said that is the best comment I could ever get. 199 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,000 Thank you. 200 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,000 Thank

talked to him a little bit more brick the brickyard as in Lincoln, Nebraska, brickyard over there near the stadium. 204 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,000 Yeah. 205 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,000 He works at the brickyard at one of the at one of the bars there. 206 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,000 And he said that they listen over the P.A. on it now. 207 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000 And he said like there's like 10 people that listen to it. 208 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000 Where we put a podcast. 209 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,000 He said they can't do it during hours. 210 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000 You know, we cuss and get race and everything. 211 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,000 But he said in the mornings when they're setting shit up, they throw us on and they love it. 212 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,000 And anyhow, he said that one in particular about killed him. 213 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,000 He said everybody else is like they're they're about ready to drop fucking dishes and stuff. 214 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,000 They're like, oh, my God. 215 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,000 So I said that is the best. 216 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,000 That is the best compliment we could ever receive. 217 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000 And thank you. 218 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,000 Thank you. 219 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,000 Thank you. 220 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,000 All I can say is we're still getting better. 221 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,000 We're still getting better. 222 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,000 We're still perfecting us. 223 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,000 I'm just starting. 224 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,000 Rob, you have come along so far. 225 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,000 I want you to listen. 226 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,000 If you can remember the first podcast that you've done, just the podcast. 227 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000 I'm not talking about the Collins. 228 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000 Yeah, I'm not talking about the Collins with me and Topher. 229 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,000 OK, you have. 230 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,000 So you've noticed, right? 231 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000 You've noticed how much better you got. 232 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,000 OK. 233 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,000 Well, just think of that in a year. 234 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,000 Oh, I can't wait. 235 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,000 I listen to my first podcast. 236 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:38,000 The inaugural one, and then I listen to this one and I'm like, oh, my God. 237 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,000 I learned things I didn't even know I learned. 238 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,000 You know what I mean? 239 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,000 It's just habits you pick up because you listen and you're like, I'm not happy with that. 240 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:55,000 You don't necessarily go home and think think about, well, I don't like the way I sounded at that is something that you do internally and you correct internally. 241 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,000 You don't really think about. 242 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,000 Exactly. 243 00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,000 Yeah. 244 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:08,000 So we're just getting underway here and we thank everybody for listening and we sincerely, we sincerely thank you. 245 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:14,000 Yes, we have a couple of businesses that are kind of semi-sponsored. 246 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:20,000 Besides Rick from the Filthy Bean, he's been our sponsor from long time. 247 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:25,000 And we have to make it there because he's insisting, Rob, he's insisting he's never met you. 248 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,000 He wants to meet you. 249 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,000 And he said, we got to get down there. 250 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,000 And I said, we will. 251 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,000 He he saved up his Southwest points. 252 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,000 I bitched at him. 253 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,000 I said, hey, how about a Delta flight? 254 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,000 And he hung up on me. 255 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,000 So anyhow, I guess the Southwest. 256 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:53,000 It'd be about the same time if I drive by the time I get to the airport, go to the airport. 257 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000 Yeah, I could drive there. 258 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,000 Yeah, because yeah, by the time you get up here to Casey Einer, you know what? 259 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,000 I never even think about that. 260 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,000 Maybe I'll just meet you there then. 261 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,000 Hey, hey, hey, I gave you Rick's number last time, right? 262 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,000 Couple of podcasts ago. 263 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,000 No, I didn't give it to you. 264 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,000 Oh, OK. 265 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,000 All right. 266 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,000 All right. 267 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,000 I'll send you I'll send you the number. 268 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,000 We'll do that. 269 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,000 We'll do that later. 270 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,000 Yeah, a little bit later. 271 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,000 And you call him and you let him know what's going on. 272 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,000 OK, I don't know, but he's buying my ticket. 273 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,000 I can introduce myself to it. 274 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000 You know, you know what? 275 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,000 Hang on, hang on, hang on. 276 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,000 OK, you're right. 277 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,000 Hang on. 278 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,000 OK. 279 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,000 And you know what? 280 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,000 We'll talk about all this later. 281 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,000 We'll have to have all have to call and then tell him that you're going to call him. 282 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:51,000 And or if I can figure out through a way, calling would do it like that because I don't just want you to call him. 283 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000 But let's do all of this off the air because I go to you. 284 00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:01,000 It would probably be better with you on the line to call up and say the robber at this point. 285 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,000 Oh, anyone. 286 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,000 Anyone that has his number. 287 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,000 You know what? 288 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,000 You're right. 289 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,000 OK. 290 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,000 All right. 291 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,000 Let's let's just drop that talk right now. 292 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,000 We'll talk about later. 293 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:17,000 Yeah, because I guarantee you, ninety nine percent of everyone listening right now is hoping we shut up about this. 294 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,000 OK. 295 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:24,000 Oh, but anyhow, we have some we have a couple of sponsors in the wing. 296 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:29,000 I mean, it's not a whole lot of money, but I mean, it's it's at least break even if not a little bit more. 297 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,000 And that's all we can ask for for right now. 298 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:37,000 So anyhow, let's take a break and let's come back with one of these stories that I have here. 299 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,000 Is that cool? 300 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,000 Sounds good to me. 301 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,000 All right. 302 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:47,000 We'll be right back. 303 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:56,000 Two

00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,000 All right. 322 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:03,000 Did you hear about the United States representative from Texas that was carjacked at gunpoint? 323 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,000 No, I did not. 324 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,000 Okay. 325 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:17,000 US representative Henry Collier was carjacked at gunpoint Monday night while parking about a mile from the US Capitol in Washington, DC. 326 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:26,000 Now, I've been to Washington, DC a few times and every time it was for a job through my old employment. 327 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:31,000 We were working a mile off of the off of the White House and the Capitol building. 328 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,000 You could see them all from the top of this high rise. 329 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,000 It was a slum. 330 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:48,000 I could not believe it was so eye opening that that close to our supposedly most sacred things in America is that big of a slum. 331 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,000 That big of a wasteland right next to there. 332 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000 It's insane. 333 00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:05,000 We were stopping at lights and there's people in tents right next to light reaching out with their hand and taking food from people and not even getting out of their tent. 334 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:11,000 It was insane the amount of crime and violence that went on there. 335 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,000 I've heard that. 336 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,000 Oh, it is. 337 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000 I've never been there but I've heard that. 338 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:26,000 That's where I saw a representative do a food drop to get votes, to harvest votes. 339 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:35,000 This bitch was in my way every second of the way being a snide little snatch. 340 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,000 She would not get out of my way. 341 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,000 I was trying to work and she didn't care because I was a working man. 342 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,000 She knew I wasn't going to vote her way anyhow. 343 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,000 She didn't care and also I wasn't from there anyhow. 344 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:54,000 This bitch would not get out of my way but he was doing a food drop in the alleyway a block away. 345 00:23:54,000 --> 00:24:04,000 These people out of this high rise that were mentally disabled, elderly, they were all put there for a reason because they had problems. 346 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:15,000 I'm not making fun of that by any means but this congressman of that district was giving away food and then going around and signing them up to vote. 347 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,000 Which I think is fucking evil and should be against the law. 348 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:32,000 I'm trying to get in there because DC is so packed that after like 10 minutes the FedEx truck starts accumulating huge fines because he's closing down a lane of that road. 349 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:39,000 So many people drove a little Vespa's and just parked them in yards or behind trees because there's no parking. 350 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:53,000 The whole thing I'm getting ready to say is it is some of the worst fucking ghetto you'll see right next to the White House and right next to the Capitol and it is embarrassing and disgusting that America has this happen on our soil. 351 00:24:53,000 --> 00:25:02,000 So, Collier, a Democrat representing Texas 28th District was not harmed during the attack. 352 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,000 Like I give a shit. 353 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,000 Police have since recovered Collier's car. 354 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:13,000 As the representative was parking, three guys with guns approached him and demanded the vehicle. 355 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,000 He is working with law enforcement currently. 356 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,000 Welcome to the bullshit. 357 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,000 You fucking bleeding hearts have created this. 358 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000 I hope you fucking wallow in it. 359 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:34,000 Before you go to your fucking gated communities, I hope you get carjacked every fucking night because you guys made this fucking world a hell for us because we gotta live in this shit. 360 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:39,000 We gotta live with these fucking crazies out here every fucking day coming after us because we work for a living. 361 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,000 They want our shit and they're gonna do it with guns. 362 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:47,000 So every day one of you motherfuckers get a gun pulled in your face, I say, Amen, Hallelujah. 363 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000 I hope it fucking happens more. 364 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:57,000 It was his brother and his brother's best friend, which both of them got relieved. 365 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,000 Fucking deal with it. 366 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,000 Yeah. 367 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,000 I can tell you what it feels like to be that chicken. 368 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:10,000 This is because two thirds of Texas prisons are not air conditioned. 369 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:17,000 Well, yeah, yeah. 370 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:30,000 So, yeah, yeah. 371 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,000 You know what? 372 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,000 Deal with it, fuckface. 373 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,000 Just like whoever you fucking did to whatever, they're dealing with it too. 374 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,000 Right? 375 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,000 Yeah. 376 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,000 So you deal with it. 377 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,000 Twenty three years. 378 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000 I'm betting you probably murdered somebody. 379 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,000 Deal with it. 380 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,000 Bake. 381 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,000 Bake like a rotisserie chicken. 382 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:54,000 You might as well get used to it because when you spend that time in hell, you'll be nice and fucking hot going in there and you'll be used to it. 383 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,000 So I think they're doing you a favor. 384 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,000 What do you think, Rob? 385 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,000 I don't care. 386 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,000 I think so too. 387 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:07,000 They're keeping him safe so that other people's family don't get to it. 388 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,000 Yeah. 389 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,000 Yeah. 390 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:14,000 So enjoy your little slice of pre-hell before hell. 391 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000 Yeah. 392 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000 Okay. 393 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,000 Anyhow, let's go on to a little something else, a little bit lighthearted here. 394 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,000 A little bit lighter hearted. 395 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:33,000 Like I predicted last year, if they wouldn't listen to the program enough and if they listened to it after this one, McRib is back just like I predicted. 396 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,000 That groundswell grassroots effort led to this. 397 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,000 That's what I said was going to happen, remember? 398 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,000 I said all of a sudden there's going to be this internet groundswell. 399 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,000 Well, guess who I think started it? 400 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,000 In my opinion, McDonald's started it. 401 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:53,000 In a new report after this, after like I said, McRib is coming back for a limited time, better go get it. 402 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,000 Oh boy, going to take it away again. 403 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,000 Oh my, oh my golly. 404 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,000 The American consumer has been trained like Pavlov's dog. 405 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000 They say McRib and they start fucking sliving. 406 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:15,000 Anyhow, so, anyhow, in a new report, Taco Bell's new drive-through tech was the fastest in the industry. 407 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:19,000 The report from QSR ranked 10 fast food chain drive-throughs. 408 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:28,000 Customers on the average get their food in less than three minutes at Taco Bell, which is the best by quite a bit, by almost a minute. 409 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,000 Second was Wendy's at three minutes and 49 seconds. 410 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,000 Third was KFC at three minutes and 50 seconds. 411 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,000 Fourth, Carl's Jr. a little bit over four minutes. 412 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,000 Fifth, Dunkin' at four minutes and 20 seconds. 413 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,000 Sixth, Burger King is a little bit under five minutes. 414 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,000 Seven is Jack in the Box, no time, didn't put any time. 415 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,000 Eight is McDonald's, no time on that. 416 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,000 Nine is Panera, no time on that. 417 00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:01,000 And then 10 is a combination of A&W, Sonic, Whataburger, In-N-Out, and a bunch of other ones. 418 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:09,000 So, anyhow, those are, that's our fast food report for this one. 419 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:16,000 And those are the best, they say that, I mean, it sounded like a lot of time to me, right? 420 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000 But, yeah. 421 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:25,000 They say that drive-through is getting better, that they're getting quicker and more efficient, so I don't know. 422 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:30,000 Whatever, I don't know. I don't go through drive-through if I can help it anyhow. 423 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:36,000 So, anyhow, you got something you want to speak of, Rob? 424 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:44,000 Yeah, are you ready? It's been a few days. Are you ready for an old west hygiene? 425 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,000 Yes, I am. I'm always ready for that. You know that, Rob. 426 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,000 Alright. 427 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,000 Okay. 428 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:59,000 While the old mission church in New Mexico stands a symbol of rich history and cultural heritage, 429 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:06,000 it holds secrets of unsanitary practices from the past. 430 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:13,000 Back in the days of the wild west, hygiene was often neglected, and the church was no exception. 431 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:22,000 With transitions in ownership and occupations by various groups, the church lacked proper maintenance and sanitation. 432 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:30,000 Dust and dirt settled on its ancient walls, making it a breeding ground for bacteria and allergens. 433 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:39,000 The lack of hygiene standards in those times contributed to the spread of diseases and discomfort for the worse person. 434 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:45,000 Today, we admire the old mission church as a testament of our history. 435 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:54,000 But let's not forget the unhygienic realities of the past. 436 00:30:54,000 --> 00:31:03,000 Yeah. I don't know how to say it. Okay. Every time you come up with one of these, it amazes me just a little bit. 437 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:08,000 You know what I mean? Even though I know how bad the last one was. 438 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:14,000 Wow. You talk about a completely different world than living. Could you imagine that? 439 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:20,000 But I guess, you know what? If that's all you know, that's all you know, right? 440 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,000 Right. 441 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:26,000 You're there and you gotta live or you gotta try to. So wow. 442 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:31,000 No wonder people are always regularly being picked off at 40, 35. 443 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:41,000 And just think, if life goes to shit in this world, we're gonna have to go back to living like that. 444 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:48,000 I would say 95% of the world population would die off immediately. 445 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:54,000 They would not be able to handle it. They wouldn't be tough enough mentally. They would just wither and die. 446 00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:04,000 The other 5% would probably have a war and then the last 2% would be left repopulating and figuring everything out. 447 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,000 That's my estimation. That's my science fiction novel or whatever. 448 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,000 Yeah. 449 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,000 Yeah. 450 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:18,000 Do you know there is, this is a new trend, but this lady has done this for years. 451 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,000 You ever heard about a rennamon? 452 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,000 No. 453 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:34,000 This is actually a great idea, Rob. When I first heard it, well I heard about it on the news this morning on Fox 4 and I kind of raised my eyebrow and I was like, I don't know. 454 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:43,000 But then when I checked, when they started talking about it, it's actually kind of brilliant and actually really I bet you it does really well and I was right on both. 455 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:49,000 It was brilliant and it does really well. A rennamon is this. 456 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,000 The lady says, I'm a rennamon for Gen Z college students. 457 00:32:53,000 --> 00:33:00,000 Parents pay me $10,000 to cook, do dishes, do laundry and bail them out of jail. 458 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:09,000 Like any good mom, when one of her kids calls, Cammie Coombe comes running, no matter the time, day or night. 459 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:17,000 The biological parent of 3 and grandmother of 6 from Boston does it all. 460 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:29,000 Even in her 70s, emergency grocery shopping, cooking or laundry, she even jumped on a plane in the wee hours of the morning to bail out one of her youngsters. 461 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:39,000 This is one that she takes care of, not her like real kids, but you know, someone paid her a little extra to go get their kid out of jail from wherever USA. 462 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,000 However, Coombe isn't the actual mother of these kids. 463 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:49,000 I'm a mom away from mom. A total support system for students is what she said. 464 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:56,000 Coombe is the founder of Concie Air Service for Students. 465 00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:03,000 We get kids in pre-boarding schools of college. She said we take care of their practical needs. 466 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:12,000 She started the service in 1993, the price tag of $10,000 per academic year. 467 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,000 What do you think of that so far Rob? 468 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,000 Wow. 469 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,000 That's a pretty fucking nifty idea, isn't it? 470 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000 Yeah. 471 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:26,000 Yeah, that's what I thought too.

Enjoyed that. 528 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:18,000 I see where Aaron Rodgers called Travis Kelsey Mr. Pfizer. 529 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,000 Because he... I read a little something about that, yeah. 530 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:32,000 Yeah, but meanwhile he's taking money from the, they say the Pfizer Harris is maybe the one that owns the Jets or something like that. I'll have to look into that. 531 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:40,000 But that's what I was reading. I'll have to make sure that that's true before I come out complete with it, completely with that. 532 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:58,000 But the internet is also on fire right now, giving Aaron Rodgers shit, saying, hey, you know what, you're sitting here saying this stuff about Travis Kelsey when you're actually getting money from someone that got their money from vaccinations and pharmaceuticals. 533 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,000 And they're also giving him shit about lying about getting the shots, too. 534 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:06,000 When he said that he didn't lie, so, you know. 535 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,000 Yeah, hello. 536 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,000 So... 537 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:15,000 Anyhow, it's pretty cool. 538 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,000 There's a little something else here. Hang on a second. 539 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:23,000 Okay, go ahead. What did you want to know? What did you say? 540 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,000 Oh, I got another story here for you. 541 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,000 Okay. 542 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:46,000 A Chicago woman, a 104 year old Chicago woman is hoping to be certified as the oldest person to ever skydive after leaving her walker on the ground at making a 10 jump in Northern Illinois. 543 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,000 Well, that's awesome. 544 00:41:49,000 --> 00:42:05,000 Ages just a number Dorothy Hoffman told a cheering crowd moments after touching the ground Sunday at Skydive Chicago in Ottawa, about 85 miles southwest of Chicago. 545 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,000 The Chicago Trippian reported. 546 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:23,000 The Guinness Book of World Records for oldest skydiver was set in May of 2022 by 103 year old Nina Ingrid Larsson from Sweden. 547 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,000 I probably didn't even say that right. 548 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,000 Who cares? 549 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,000 You know, just call her... 550 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,000 Yeah, I don't want to ask that. 551 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,000 Just call her Greta from now on. Okay, so Greta did what? 552 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,000 Yeah, wait a minute. 553 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:48,000 Skydive Chicago is working to have Guinness World Records certified Hoffman's jump as a record. WLS TV reported. 554 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:52,000 Off her first skydive when she was 100. 555 00:42:52,000 --> 00:43:06,000 On Sunday, she left the walker behind, disorted the plane, a skyvan, and was helped to join others waiting inside skydive. 556 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:12,000 Let's go, let's go Geronimo, Hoffman said after she was finally seated. 557 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,000 Greta, great job. 558 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:18,000 It goes on to talk about the dive and everything. 559 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,000 Great job, Greta. Great job. Hang on. 560 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:24,000 She plans on trying it again. 561 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:29,000 Oh, and she turns 105 this December. 562 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,000 Great job, Greta. We're very happy for you. 563 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,000 Yes. 564 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,000 You're an inspiration. 565 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,000 That's an achievement, man. That is an achievement. 566 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,000 It really is. That is fantastic. 567 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,000 That is really fantastic. 568 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:48,000 I'd be lucky to be alive by then, let alone walking, and skydiving. 569 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,000 The same here. The same here. 570 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:56,000 Wow. Cool story, Rob. Very cool. 571 00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:07,000 You know of Vermont Town known for its autumn foliage as closest roads to the public for the season, citing an overwhelming amount of influencer tourists. 572 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:18,000 The select board of Palm Fret voted to close Cloudland Road and Barber Hill Road to non-residents from September 23rd to October 15th. 573 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:25,000 That also blocks access to the popular Sleepy Hollow Farm, a private residence that many tourists try to visit. 574 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:40,000 Foliage season traffic in this area has steadily increased during the last several years, causing significant safety, environmental, aesthetic, and quality of our life issues, the select board wrote with a memo. 575 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:47,000 Sleepy Hollow Farm has been a hot destination for influencers looking to get their perfect shot at fall foliage. 576 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:59,000 Videos using the hashtag Sleepy Hollow Farm have been viewed over 800,000 times on TikTok. Meanwhile, thousands of photos of the farm have been posted on Instagram. 577 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:07,000 Some TikTok videos from recent years showed crowds around the entrances to Sleepy Hollow Farm, which had a no trespassing sign. 578 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:12,000 Despite the sign, one video showed tourists entering the property to take pictures. 579 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,000 So who can blame them? 580 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:22,000 You have a bunch of fucking numbnuts out there tromping your land down just to get like four or five likes on a social platform. 581 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:27,000 I'm with them 100%. I hope they keep it shut down. 582 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:35,000 So, and then the property owners can post what they want and they can reap the benefits of their own land. 583 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,000 Right? 584 00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:44,000 Yeah. If they choose, if they want it to be a well known, a not known secret, then they can just keep it to themselves. 585 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:48,000 But if they want it posted, they can post it themselves. How about that? 586 00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,000 So there you go. 587 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:56,000 Rob, you know what blue light is? 588 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,000 No. 589 00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:07,000 Blue light is what you get from all these electronics, especially cell phones, but also laptops, PCs, stuff like that. 590 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:08,000 Oh, OK. OK. 591 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:15,000 Yeah, I knew you did. I knew you did. You just wasn't familiar with blue light because it's called by different things, different ways, different areas. 592 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,000 Yeah. 593 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:22,000 So electronic devices have become an integral part of most children's lives. 594 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:28,000 Kids use screen based electronics throughout the day for schoolwork, entertainment, communication and more. 595 00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:36,000 While technology offers countless educational social benefits, there are also downsides to our widespread easy access to these devices, 596 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:40,000 including the impact technology may be having on sleep. 597 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:47,000 And I've known this because ever since I read a big, I think we talked about it not too long ago. 598 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:52,000 It's called sleep hygiene. And this is how you sleep better. 599 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:58,000 You know, like hygiene, you know, you wash yourself, you smell better, you feel better, you smell fresh. 600 00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:03,000 You got all of last yesterday's germs off, you know, all that stuff. Right. 601 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:08,000 Well, sleep hygiene is not that much different only for sleep. 602 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:13,000 And there's things you need to do if you're not sleeping well to help yourself sleep better. 603 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:19,000 One of the things is, is put yourself away, away from the bed to where it cannot be reached. 604 00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:26,000 And put everything on silent or shut it off to where it's not affecting. 605 00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:37,000 And since I did that, I got a sleep, a sleep number bed help because now I can raise and lower it, feed or head because I hurt. 606 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,000 I've worked all my life. I've done a heavy job all my life. 607 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,000 Yeah. 608 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,000 And stuff like that. So this is part of the sleep hygiene. 609 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,000 I would love to have a sleep number bed. 610 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:52,000 Rob, when you get there, get one. Get one. And you'll get there, Rob. You work hard. You'll do it. 611 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:53,000 Oh, I will. 612 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,000 I worked hard all my life, scratching, clawing. 613 00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,000 Oh, I got the money coming. 614 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:05,000 Yeah. I mean, I'm finally to a point where I don't have to scratch and claw as hard and I can do some stuff I love to do like this. 615 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:09,000 And I know you love to do this, which makes me, it makes me feel even better. 616 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:14,000 And I agree with you. I feel like my brother somewhere out there in the great beyond. 617 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:22,000 I prefer to think of him being in heaven. And I believe he's there is having as part of this of you and me getting together and doing this podcast. 618 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,000 And we both love it so much. 619 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:25,000 Yeah. 620 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:31,000 And anyhow, it allows me to do stuff like this. Allows me to have the time to do stuff like this. 621 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,000 But anyhow, I'm getting off track. 622 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:40,000 Electronic devices have become, oh, shit, I already read that. The full spectrum of visible light consists of very light waves. 623 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:45,000 Violet light has the shortest wavelength, while red light wavelengths are the longest. 624 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:50,000 Blue light is a short wavelength type of light that promotes alertness and performance. 625 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:59,000 Blue light is also the most important regulator of our sleep-wake cycle in a rhythm. 626 00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:12,000 All right. Blue light and the effects on children. Common sources of blue light, the screens of television, smartphones, tablets, computers, gaming systems, and certain e-readers all produce artificial blue light. 627 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:19,000 However, we aren't exposed to blue light solely through electronics. We get most of our blue light exposure through the sun. 628 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:23,000 Additionally, LED and fluorescent light bulbs produce blue light. 629 00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:29,000 Blue light suppresses the production of melatonin, a hormone that promotes feelings of sleepiness. 630 00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:35,000 Humans evolved to maintain a sleep-wake cycle based around the rising and setting of the sun. 631 00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:42,000 When we only receive natural sunlight, our melatonin levels are low during the day, but they start to rise after sunset. 632 00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:47,000 They reach their highest point in the middle of the night, and then they slowly decrease until morning. 633 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:54,000 Exposure to blue light during the day from sunlight or other sources is a healthy promoter of energy and concentration. 634 00:49:54,000 --> 00:50:00,000 Daytime blue light exposure has also been shown to improve sleep quality and duration. 635 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:10,000 However, using these devices that produce artificial blue light in the evening and nighttime disrupts our natural sleep-wake cycle by tricking the brain into not producing melatonin before bed. 636 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:30,000 This causes us to feel less sleepy than we should at bedtime and causes in most children, what would you call it, the way they don't sleep as well, sleep disruption, non-drowsiness, insomnia. 637 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,000 Sleep apnea? 638 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,000 Yeah, all of these things. 639 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:35,000 No, sleep apnea. 640 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:38,000 Not sleep apnea, but yeah. 641 00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,000 I know what you're talking about. 642 00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:41,000 Yeah, yep. 643 00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:57,000 So, anyhow, I thought that story deserved a little mentioning because it came out a couple of times, and both times I ignored it, and this last time it was up there, I'm like, you know what, I'm going to go ahead and report on this. 644 00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:01,000 Yeah, it's a little serious, but actually there's a lot of truth to it, and you know. 645 00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:02,000 Yeah. 646 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:07,000 Yep. 647 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:12,000 Let's see, you got another story here. 648 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,000 If you don't, I do. 649 00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,000 You know what, go ahead and go with your story, Rob. 650 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:21,000 You've been on a roll, so everybody, Rob Rad, the floor is Rob Rad's. 651 00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:24,000 Go for it, my friend. 652 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:28,000 Mark, have you ever wondered where Bonanza was filmed?

660 00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,000 I'm about to tell you. 661 00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:45,000 Okay, anyhow. 662 00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:46,000 I'm about to tell you. 663 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,000 Okay. 664 00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:57,000 Bonanza's first opening scene in season one was shot on location in Lake Hammett in Mountain Center, California. 665 00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:11,000 It featured original cast, Penel Roberts, Lauren Green, Dan Blocker, and Michael Landon on horseback in front of the San Jacinto Mountains. 666 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:23,000 The ranch where the best known opening sequence was shot was located near Lake Tahoe, Nevada, just as the Ponderosa was. 667 00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:31,000 It featured a more relaxed, long shot of the cast on horseback before the Sierra Nevada. 668 00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:42,000 This ranch was also sold in 2020, making for headlines and memories of Bonanza's heyday. 669 00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:55,000 But the most part, Bonanza was filmed at Paramount Studio back lots in Hollywood, where the western street and interior and exterior settings were created. 670 00:52:55,000 --> 00:53:05,000 Location shots from around Nevada were included, however, to add realism and style to the color TV western. 671 00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:09,000 Wow. 672 00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:10,000 I didn't know that. 673 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,000 I didn't either. 674 00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:13,000 Wow. 675 00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,000 You're on a roll, Rob. 676 00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,000 Oh yeah, I thought I was going to. 677 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,000 Hell, growing up, I thought they were on the ranch a whole damn time. 678 00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:21,000 Me too. 679 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:24,000 But then again, growing up, I didn't really give a shit. 680 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:28,000 I just knew it was like a cool ass cast and a bunch of cool cowboys. 681 00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,000 And then they were Indians. 682 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:37,000 Now I think they're, shit, I forgot what they call them now, anyhow, Native Americans or whatever. 683 00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,000 So yeah, yeah, yeah, very cool. 684 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,000 Yeah. 685 00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,000 All right. 686 00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:53,000 You know the Las Vegas Sphere is to debut life-like robot greeters, and people aren't liking it. 687 00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:59,000 Humanoid robots will greet guests entering the Sphere in Las Vegas, the venue announced Tuesday. 688 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:14,000 According to a news release, five like-like units, all named Aura, will welcome guests ahead of events to tell the story of humanity's history of innovation, a history that naturally ends at the Sphere, where else? 689 00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:21,000 Robots in a high-tech atmosphere are certainly appropriate, and then the novelty factors are huge with Aura units. 690 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:26,000 But are we celebrating machines that will eventually make all human jobs obsolete? 691 00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:31,000 Probably, that's what I'd say. Would you say it's headed that way, Rob? 692 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,000 Yeah. 693 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:44,000 In 2020, the World Economic Forum released a report estimating by 2025, 85 million jobs may be displaced by a shift in labor division between humans and machines. 694 00:54:44,000 --> 00:55:01,000 In Las Vegas, the threat of automation looms particularly large. Studies show that between 38 and 65 percent of all, this is 38 to 65 percent, mind you, of all strip jobs could be fully automated in the next 10 to 15 years. 695 00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:05,000 Now, what are these people going to do to eat? 696 00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:13,000 I mean, well, let's, I mean, nobody's working right now, so I guess the same thing they're doing now to eat. Nothing. 697 00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:27,000 Okay. Robots serve food and drinks and work as front desk agents, while tech spots make restaurant recommendations instead of consignees and abloins. 698 00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:44,000 Concierge, new technology being introduced in the workplace is not new. Bethany Conn, a spokes working for Culinary Workers Union, Local 226, which represents about 60,000 workers in Las Vegas hospitality injury, told Casino.org last year. 699 00:55:44,000 --> 00:56:00,000 Hospitality jobs will continue to change and evolve as they always have, Conn said. The Culinary's Union innovative technology language ensures that workers can grow with technology, have a seat at the table, and that new technology is implemented in a worker centered way. 700 00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:13,000 Later this year, the Culinary Union hopes to have a new negotiating contract that includes protections against AI replacing jobs. And there is the main reason I put that story in. 701 00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:30,000 You know the next babble is going to be fought with unions, don't you? It's going to be against automation. Because now the biggest threat isn't just the greedy upper echelon, it's against automation. 702 00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:51,000 Automation will take so many jobs that if they don't put protections in there against this can't be automated, this can't be automated, this can't be automated, the American worker, any worker in the world is going to be obsolete basically, or most of them, except the people making AI and producing it. 703 00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:57,000 But then how long will it be before AI can produce AI? Right? 704 00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:02,000 But then how are humans going to support themselves? 705 00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,000 It's such a slippery slope. 706 00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,000 There ain't going to be no jobs. 707 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:15,000 The reason, I just spoke of that whole article, yeah it was interesting on a lot of levels, but the fact is it's true. What they're doing right now. 708 00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:24,000 No, it's true. And as kids we were told this was going to happen. Machines would take our jobs. 709 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:29,000 Yes, and back then it was ha ha. Now it's like, oh shit. 710 00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,000 It's actually happening. 711 00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:35,000 Yes, yes. I'm waiting for John Connor, what about you? 712 00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,000 Okay. 713 00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:40,000 John Connor, where are you? 714 00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:41,000 Yeah. 715 00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,000 We need to start fighting these Terminator bitches. 716 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,000 He'll be along soon. 717 00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:49,000 Yeah, he's got to be. It's in the script, right? 718 00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,000 Yeah, yeah it is. 719 00:57:51,000 --> 00:58:03,000 Yeah. No, this is very scary, Rob. And I like that the union is actually looking into this and trying to safeguard themselves, at least from some of it. 720 00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:16,000 Well, I really did not realize what AI was until I started working with you on this podcast. And I started reading more and more about it. That's why I keep saying. 721 00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:17,000 Let me tell you, Rob. 722 00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:20,000 Terminator's coming. Terminator's coming. 723 00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:25,000 When this podcast has opened up my eyes to so many things, and I already have my eyes open. 724 00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:26,000 Oh my God. 725 00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:37,000 I was always the quiz-tive one. I was always looking around. I always find a different angle before this. But man, I'll tell you what, when you start digging for stories and looking deeper into things, I'll tell you what. 726 00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:40,000 This is really eye-opening. That's all I got to say. 727 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:41,000 It is. 728 00:58:41,000 --> 00:59:06,000 This is one of the best things I could have ever done intellectually in my mind. It's because it opens up my mind to looking and physically digging out new ideas and things that are going on in this Earth that I had no idea about. And I love it. I personally love it. My thirst for knowledge has grown even as I've been doing more knowledge. You know what I mean? It's... 729 00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,000 Go ahead. 730 00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:22,000 For the last quite a few years, I pretty much have my brain shut down because I've been in a relationship with kids and work and that's all I did. Work and go home. 731 00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,000 Yeah, got it. 732 00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:38,000 And then me and her split up and I discovered this. And dude, I'm using my brain more than I ever have. 733 00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,000 Isn't it great? I mean, it's... 734 00:59:40,000 --> 01:00:01,000 I'm thinking things out more. I think things before I say it and I watch what I say. Yeah, I mean, this podcast is really helping me as a person. It really is. 735 01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:02,000 It's a fantastic deal. 736 01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:03,000 Thank you. 737 01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:12,000 Thank you, Rob. I couldn't do this without you. Could not do this without you and also thank Topher. Topher had so much to do with the inception of this. 738 01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,000 Thank you, Topher. Thank you, Topher. 739 01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:25,000 Getting this out, getting on the ball. You see, Topher's retired so we had time to figure this stuff out, the RSS feed, the how to run, how to run the board here, how to do all this stuff. 740 01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:33,000 He figured it out before me and then he showed me the knowledge to do it. So if it wasn't for Topher, we would not be here right now. 741 01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:40,000 And I'm still hoping that Topher is going to feel comfortable enough to do his own segment, if not join us on here. 742 01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,000 We'll come around and talk. 743 01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:51,000 Yeah. So it'll only make the podcast better. But that being said, we are well over the hour mark and Rob, we are getting on nine o'clock. 744 01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:58,000 So I think I'm going to go ahead and shut this show down and tell you to have a good night so you get up and go to work tomorrow. 745 01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:09,000 One last thing. Yes. A story I just ran across. Oh, yeah, sure. Unfortunately, it was one day ago and this is on Rolling Stone. 746 01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:12,000 Okay. 747 01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:16,000 One day ago, which would be Monday. Today is Tuesday. 748 01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,000 Okay. 749 01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:24,000 Ronnie Millsap will play his final Nashville concert Tuesday night. 750 01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:28,000 In other words, as we've been doing this podcast. 751 01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:29,000 Really? 752 01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:44,000 A guest heavy salute to the piano player featuring Kelly Clauston, Little Big Town, Sarah Evans, Parker McCollum, Breeland, Ricky Skaggs and more. 753 01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:50,000 Millsap is 80 now and regarded as a pillar of the country music. 754 01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:52,000 The country music hall. 755 01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,000 And he is. 756 01:01:54,000 --> 01:02:04,000 In 2014, with a heart who remains an unapologetic pop vocalist. 757 01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:07,000 Tonight.
