00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.019
You are listening to Two Douchebags in Microphone,

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:10.720
alternate universe edition. The alternate douchebags

00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:14.400
pledge. Turn up the show and scream obscenities

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:17.260
while flapping your arms like a chicken. That's

00:00:17.260 --> 00:00:20.960
it. We keep it simple in this universe. Three,

00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:30.920
two, one, and go. Two douchebags and a microphone?

00:00:31.260 --> 00:00:33.679
We don't stand behind our journalistic integrity.

00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.780
Go ahead and assume we got the story wrong. At

00:00:37.780 --> 00:00:40.859
least we admit it. Not like all those other guys,

00:00:41.060 --> 00:00:43.719
we can and will lie if it makes the story better.

00:00:45.299 --> 00:00:58.079
Two douchebags and a microphone? Says ouch. before

00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:02.520
the needle touches him. Needs a pep talk a minute

00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:06.659
of silence before sending an email. Orders mild

00:01:06.659 --> 00:01:10.299
salsa and still sweats like he just ran a marathon.

00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:17.700
Looks at WebMD after sneezing. Needs a jacket

00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:22.840
when it's 75 degrees outside. Apologizes to furniture

00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:28.040
after bumping into it. is exhausted after boiling

00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:31.459
water. This is your douchebag gangbang question

00:01:31.459 --> 00:01:35.900
of the week. Do you tip to go orders? Email us

00:01:35.900 --> 00:01:38.920
your answers at twodouches at mail .com. Spell

00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:41.879
out the number two. Don't be a dummy. Good evening,

00:01:41.939 --> 00:01:44.219
friends and neighbors. I'm going to read to you

00:01:44.219 --> 00:01:46.959
a list of hypocrites. Self -righteous assholes

00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:48.680
that want to tell you what you're doing wrong,

00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:52.340
but will not address this for themselves. One

00:01:52.340 --> 00:01:55.409
newer issue among these dollards. is the stolen

00:01:55.409 --> 00:01:58.170
land gimmick. They tell us we need to give up

00:01:58.170 --> 00:02:00.730
the land back, but when they were confronted,

00:02:00.969 --> 00:02:03.510
they offered nothing. Therefore, hypocrites and

00:02:03.510 --> 00:02:07.890
liars. Alyssa Milano, hypocrite and a liar. Mark

00:02:07.890 --> 00:02:12.129
Ruffalo, hypocrite and a liar. Jane Fonda, longtime

00:02:12.129 --> 00:02:17.509
hypocrite, liar. Elizabeth Warren, longtime idiot,

00:02:17.650 --> 00:02:21.960
liar, hypocrite. Leonardo DiCaprio. Your name

00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:23.919
might be on a list somewhere that just came out.

00:02:23.939 --> 00:02:26.419
I don't know. Possibly. Maybe you need to shut

00:02:26.419 --> 00:02:31.000
your mouth. Yeah, you probably do. Billy Eilish.

00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:35.699
Liar. Ben and Jerry. Liars. We go on for another

00:02:35.699 --> 00:02:38.280
hour, but you get the point. I once again present

00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:41.520
to you the You First Movement. This is when you

00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:43.840
mouth off about stolen land or anything else.

00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:47.039
You go first. You live on stolen land. You give

00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.860
your land back. But until this happens, shut

00:02:49.860 --> 00:02:58.159
the fuck up. Out. Hi, all. This is Chicago. I

00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:02.060
am the most dangerous city in North America.

00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:08.219
You can't touch me. Oh, yeah? This is Kansas

00:03:08.219 --> 00:03:11.080
City here. Hold my beer, bitch. Hey, my fellow

00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:15.039
heavy breathers. This is Dash Riptide. Your music

00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:21.000
news. Metal band Slayer. Fans unite. Your boys.

00:03:21.469 --> 00:03:24.629
and Slayer have a new hot sauce named Rain and

00:03:24.629 --> 00:03:27.830
Blood. This sauce's heat meter is off the hook.

00:03:27.969 --> 00:03:32.150
So use with caution or be a dick and put it on

00:03:32.150 --> 00:03:36.689
your buddy's sandwich. Maybe not. This is Gash

00:03:36.689 --> 00:03:40.189
Riptine and that was your music news. If it's

00:03:40.189 --> 00:03:42.889
too loud, you probably have ear damage just like

00:03:42.889 --> 00:03:52.360
me. This is Joshua Belmont, your food for thought

00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:56.120
man on the hustle. Today, we need to focus on

00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.680
the genius Franklin Harris for inventing the

00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:02.560
jukebox override. Some dumbass puts down a hundred

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:06.020
on the Melvins to last all night. No worry, thanks

00:04:06.020 --> 00:04:09.340
to Mr. Harris. Just put in a buck a song to override

00:04:09.340 --> 00:04:13.020
shitty music and you can be the hero. Mr. Harris,

00:04:13.180 --> 00:04:16.139
not many stop to admire your fine work, but we

00:04:16.139 --> 00:04:19.100
do here at Two Douchebags and a Microphone. Thank

00:04:19.100 --> 00:04:22.439
you, Mr. Harris, for being a patriotic, great

00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:27.100
human being. Swimming in toxic masculinity and

00:04:27.100 --> 00:04:29.620
wiping their ass with politically correct wash

00:04:29.620 --> 00:04:32.680
rags. Two Douchebags and a Microphone invade

00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:38.639
your ear holes in three, two, one. Let's see

00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:41.569
what we're getting. I think it's coming pretty

00:04:41.569 --> 00:04:44.170
well through the headphones. How about you? Oh,

00:04:44.170 --> 00:04:48.329
hang on. Excuse me. Hello. Did you guys have

00:04:48.329 --> 00:04:52.110
to close the door for a minute? Yes, yes it is.

00:04:54.929 --> 00:04:56.889
Yeah, we're going to be here for a few hours.

00:04:57.649 --> 00:05:00.069
It's just kind of cold. If it works out for you,

00:05:00.110 --> 00:05:02.529
it would be nice to close it. I can open it for

00:05:02.529 --> 00:05:06.170
an hour or an hour and a half. Let's try to have

00:05:06.170 --> 00:05:09.769
it open. No, I understand. Just leave it the

00:05:09.769 --> 00:05:12.170
way it is. That's fine. I'm sorry. No, no, you're

00:05:12.170 --> 00:05:13.910
good. I can't do it inside of my store. I don't

00:05:13.910 --> 00:05:17.589
mind. Well, we might move in there. I appreciate

00:05:17.589 --> 00:05:19.670
that. Take one of that and sit and do whatever

00:05:19.670 --> 00:05:22.470
you want. I appreciate it. Sure. Wow, that's

00:05:22.470 --> 00:05:24.529
a good idea. If it gets too cold, do it. All

00:05:24.529 --> 00:05:28.430
right. Okay. He said if it gets too cold, we

00:05:28.430 --> 00:05:30.110
can move into his store, sit back in the corner

00:05:30.110 --> 00:05:32.569
and do our podcast. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. All

00:05:32.569 --> 00:05:34.829
right. Very nice of him. Remember that padlock

00:05:34.829 --> 00:05:37.810
you put on? Oh, yeah. It's still there, isn't

00:05:37.810 --> 00:05:44.750
it? It's still there? Oops. Everybody around

00:05:44.750 --> 00:05:47.649
here is very nice. Yeah, we love this place.

00:05:49.430 --> 00:05:53.459
Okay, that is music. I got us something a little

00:05:53.459 --> 00:05:55.660
different this morning. I got us loaded fries

00:05:55.660 --> 00:06:01.879
with shaved prime rib. And then, of course, the

00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:05.199
regular fried pickles. Really can't do without

00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:07.759
that. I never used to like fried pickles, but,

00:06:07.779 --> 00:06:09.180
man, they're awesome. Oh, they're fucking good.

00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.579
I was testing levels, but I've already got an

00:06:13.579 --> 00:06:15.879
hour, I mean a minute and 30 seconds of just

00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:18.060
us yakking. Should we leave that in? Just leave

00:06:18.060 --> 00:06:19.379
it in. All right, we're just going to leave it

00:06:19.379 --> 00:06:22.079
in. Okay. Yeah. We turn the gain down just a

00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:24.560
hair so we don't clip anything. In case anyone's

00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.800
wondering, this is the Two Douchebags Microphone

00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:33.579
Alternate Universe. Hey, if every science fiction

00:06:33.579 --> 00:06:35.459
show in the world can use Alternate Universe,

00:06:35.699 --> 00:06:39.019
we can use it too. Yes, yep. But we're not copying

00:06:39.019 --> 00:06:41.720
because this is a podcast. Yes, indeed. We are

00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:43.779
the first podcast to have an alternate universe.

00:06:44.699 --> 00:06:47.480
And I think we were the first to do an international

00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:49.740
podcast where we were in different countries.

00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:53.120
Yes, yes. And I think we're the first to do a

00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.420
podcast within a podcast. Yes, yeah. We have

00:06:56.420 --> 00:06:59.060
a lot of firsts here. Yeah, yeah. Take that,

00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:01.339
two fucknuts and a recorder. Oh, yeah, yeah,

00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:05.279
yeah. Yeah, yeah. We only changed our name because

00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:07.300
we didn't want to be associated with you guys.

00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.839
Yeah, yeah. And as we always say, the rumors

00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:12.980
are true. Yes, it is. The rumors you've heard

00:07:12.980 --> 00:07:15.699
are true. Oh, right here, wherever. Sorry about

00:07:15.699 --> 00:07:23.160
that. Thank you very much. All right. So we're

00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.980
getting our foods on. That looks like cheese

00:07:26.980 --> 00:07:30.180
on the fries. I might have to avoid that. Oh,

00:07:30.180 --> 00:07:34.480
fuck. That's all right. Yeah, sorry. I'm just

00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:36.819
the parasite that sponges off your food. Well,

00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:39.040
you know what? I should have read the description

00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.259
a little bit better. I will let you have the

00:07:41.259 --> 00:07:43.720
majority of those then, of the fried pickles.

00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.220
Oh, I appreciate it. Yep. But I got to have a

00:07:46.220 --> 00:07:48.819
couple. Yeah, definitely. They're so good. Oh,

00:07:48.819 --> 00:07:52.759
they are. So, what are we going to talk about

00:07:52.759 --> 00:08:01.879
first? Because I got NFL. Since we still do the

00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.240
sports bastards, but, you know, we do the alternate

00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.860
universe this time of year because of lack of

00:08:07.860 --> 00:08:11.259
information and stuff going on. Yeah. Okay. I

00:08:11.259 --> 00:08:14.569
have some 2026. NFL season opener information

00:08:14.569 --> 00:08:19.509
they put out last night. Good. Okay. The 2026

00:08:19.509 --> 00:08:22.790
season will officially kick off on Wednesday,

00:08:22.910 --> 00:08:26.949
September 9th. Mm -hmm. 2026, featuring the defending

00:08:26.949 --> 00:08:29.509
Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks at home,

00:08:29.649 --> 00:08:34.090
marking a rare Wednesday start. Oh. Yeah. Must

00:08:34.090 --> 00:08:36.509
be something going on Thursday. I guess. It does

00:08:36.509 --> 00:08:39.690
not say, is the thing. The matchup will air on

00:08:39.690 --> 00:08:46.080
NBC and Peacock at 820. The schedule change facilitates

00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:49.740
a special week one, oh, a week one international

00:08:49.740 --> 00:08:53.679
game in Melbourne, Australia. Oh. So, and nobody

00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:56.960
knows who that team is, so that's going to be

00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:02.159
over there. So. It's funny, they're on the other

00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.159
side of the international date line, so when

00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:05.919
they start playing the game, it'll be a different

00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:08.340
day than us watching the game. Oh, I know, and

00:09:08.340 --> 00:09:09.960
that's probably why they're doing it like that.

00:09:12.779 --> 00:09:18.659
So, the 2026 season marks a part of a massive

00:09:18.659 --> 00:09:21.639
international expansion with nine games planned

00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:26.740
across four countries in week one. Wow. So, they're

00:09:26.740 --> 00:09:29.120
really going for that international. They definitely

00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:34.259
are. And I remember reading that one of the things

00:09:34.259 --> 00:09:38.059
they want to go for is 16 international games

00:09:38.059 --> 00:09:41.039
a season is what they're going for. They're going

00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.679
to kill the players. Oh, God, yes. Adding extra

00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.700
games, and now they have to go overseas. Mm -hmm.

00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:53.919
Mm. If they do it as a residency, it's like,

00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:57.899
okay, Cleveland Browns, go do a three -week residency

00:09:57.899 --> 00:10:00.820
in Madrid. Didn't they do that to the Jaguars

00:10:00.820 --> 00:10:03.059
last year? Yeah, they played two games. Yeah,

00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.799
two games. But I think that would be a good idea,

00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.360
except... The NFL wants every team to play an

00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.039
international game. That's what the problem is.

00:10:11.179 --> 00:10:19.360
Yeah. I don't know. Pretty aggressive, but, I

00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:21.700
mean, I don't know. So far, everything they've

00:10:21.700 --> 00:10:24.259
done seems to be working out pretty well. They

00:10:24.259 --> 00:10:27.620
definitely have a plan, and that's definitely

00:10:27.620 --> 00:10:31.379
something that they take into account when they're

00:10:31.379 --> 00:10:33.820
vetting new owners. Uh -huh. Because they've

00:10:33.820 --> 00:10:36.850
got plans for next year. Five years from now,

00:10:36.909 --> 00:10:39.230
ten years from now. So any new owners coming

00:10:39.230 --> 00:10:41.429
in have to be on board with the plans that are

00:10:41.429 --> 00:10:43.870
already in motion. Oh, yeah. They're not changing

00:10:43.870 --> 00:10:48.129
it for anybody now. Okay. Another thing slightly

00:10:48.129 --> 00:10:52.950
different. I applaud Delta Airlines. Huh? You

00:10:52.950 --> 00:10:56.929
know why? Why? They have suspended special services

00:10:56.929 --> 00:11:01.230
for all of Congress. Nice. Delta idiots opened

00:11:01.230 --> 00:11:05.080
up the government again. Yep. So. That's going

00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.399
to be a good thing because they're not giving

00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:09.899
preferential treatment. They've got to wait in

00:11:09.899 --> 00:11:13.600
lines like everybody else for Delta. They're

00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.480
our employees. They should wait in line with

00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:19.120
us. Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. As a matter of

00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:20.940
fact, they should not be getting paid right now.

00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:24.220
Nope. Them getting paid is atrocious. Yeah. This

00:11:24.220 --> 00:11:26.360
shows how much they care about us. Oh, no, they

00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:30.039
don't. They don't. Yeah. Well, good for Delta.

00:11:30.539 --> 00:11:32.519
Yeah, and if anyone has a problem with Trump

00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:34.139
being in office, I can tell you this, and I'm

00:11:34.139 --> 00:11:38.120
not saying pro or against, okay? You're the one

00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:40.419
that caused this. By accepting the government

00:11:40.419 --> 00:11:43.059
we have is the reason we get someone. Yeah, collectively

00:11:43.059 --> 00:11:48.980
as Americans, a voting ability, it's on us. Because

00:11:48.980 --> 00:11:51.120
we could get a different government if we just

00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:54.539
chose to. But we all have to work together and

00:11:54.539 --> 00:11:57.159
figure out what we want and quit letting them

00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:02.179
tell us. So, people opt to go for something different.

00:12:02.340 --> 00:12:03.620
They're like, you know what? What we're doing,

00:12:03.659 --> 00:12:06.159
we're getting fucking fleece blind. So, let's

00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:08.519
try something different. So, Delta, thank you.

00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:11.740
You guys have earned my respect on that one.

00:12:13.379 --> 00:12:17.360
So, you got something you want to go into? Keeping

00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:22.419
with the NFL, let me find where I put it in my

00:12:22.419 --> 00:12:27.620
list here. The NFL is deciding that they're all

00:12:27.620 --> 00:12:32.519
in on an 18 -game season. It's being fast -tracked,

00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:35.679
basically. I believe that. It may be as early

00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:41.379
as next season, 2027. It would add a second bye

00:12:41.379 --> 00:12:44.919
week to the season. Okay. So you've got an extra

00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:47.440
game and an extra bye week. The whole season

00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:49.840
would be two weeks longer. Okay, so it's going

00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:51.860
to start earlier. And like I said before, remember

00:12:51.860 --> 00:12:55.039
how I said, the NBA championship will just end

00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:59.039
and you'll have preseason starting right, mini

00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:03.000
camp preseason starting right then. Yeah. And

00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:08.059
it kind of makes sense to put more of your season

00:13:08.059 --> 00:13:12.220
in the nice weather and pull it back from the

00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:15.059
frigid temperatures in December and January.

00:13:15.940 --> 00:13:20.399
The fans would appreciate it. Yep. The networks

00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:23.009
that are Trying to broadcast the games would

00:13:23.009 --> 00:13:24.990
appreciate it. The players would appreciate it.

00:13:25.590 --> 00:13:28.730
The bookies would appreciate it, so they wouldn't

00:13:28.730 --> 00:13:30.470
have to take the weather into account so much.

00:13:30.470 --> 00:13:35.330
So true. Yeah. Well, and also, all of the cold

00:13:35.330 --> 00:13:38.590
games are going to be gone in another few years

00:13:38.590 --> 00:13:41.190
because we're going to dome stadiums. The Chiefs

00:13:41.190 --> 00:13:43.490
are, Buffalo is, all these teams that traditionally

00:13:43.490 --> 00:13:47.470
had an edge up in their stadiums because of loudness,

00:13:47.570 --> 00:13:50.679
cold, all that. Yeah. are losing that and i don't

00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:53.080
understand it i don't understand that i'm not

00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:56.019
really sure either but unless i i hope they at

00:13:56.019 --> 00:13:59.500
least go to the stadiums that you can open the

00:13:59.500 --> 00:14:01.399
roof or close the roof but the ones that are

00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:04.259
just permanently closed like like new orleans

00:14:04.259 --> 00:14:07.480
that's just awful well i don't know if the chiefs

00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:11.340
are doing that i i have not read anything about

00:14:11.340 --> 00:14:14.539
a retractable roof because i wish they would

00:14:14.539 --> 00:14:18.639
well at this point The Chief Stadium has not

00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.860
even, I mean, they're not anywhere near to finalizing

00:14:22.860 --> 00:14:24.600
the design on that, so anything could go there.

00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:28.100
So they could do it, okay. Another thing they're

00:14:28.100 --> 00:14:31.159
talking about doing to make the 18 -game season

00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.899
work is capping the players at 17 games. Oh.

00:14:35.980 --> 00:14:38.340
So every player will have to sit out at least

00:14:38.340 --> 00:14:40.840
one game as a healthy stretch. See, I like that

00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:43.559
idea a lot. But I bet they will have an exception

00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:46.480
for quarterbacks and other key players. Of course.

00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:52.379
Yeah. I'd like that. I do too. Okay. You know,

00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:55.120
think baseball. Your pitcher doesn't pitch every

00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:58.740
single game. He rotates. NFL can do that. They

00:14:58.740 --> 00:15:00.700
just don't want to. They don't want to. They

00:15:00.700 --> 00:15:03.460
don't want to. No, and that makes sense too.

00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:05.559
You don't want Lamar Jackson. You don't want

00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:08.220
Patrick Mahomes out of the last game or whatever,

00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:13.559
you know, the extra game. Well, in keeping with

00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:19.179
the NFL, I was watching this morning on the NFL

00:15:19.179 --> 00:15:21.639
Network, which is, of course, now owned by ESPN.

00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:24.759
They actually had a game show that was pretty

00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:27.460
fun. It was called Which Jalen? Because there

00:15:27.460 --> 00:15:29.279
are so many players in the league right now whose

00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:32.220
first name is Jalen that they were quizzing the

00:15:32.220 --> 00:15:35.179
players, and they were showing them a darkened

00:15:35.179 --> 00:15:38.019
silhouette of the player. giving you three clues

00:15:38.019 --> 00:15:40.500
as to who the player was. And then to win, you

00:15:40.500 --> 00:15:43.200
had to guess the player's name and how to spell

00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.059
Jalen because there's like 12 different spellings

00:15:46.059 --> 00:15:48.919
within the NFL of the name Jalen. I love that.

00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:54.399
It was actually pretty funny. But something else

00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:57.440
I saw was they were talking about the possibility

00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:02.700
of Max Crosby being traded to the Cowboys. Now,

00:16:02.740 --> 00:16:04.279
that would make sense for the Cowboys because

00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:08.129
they lost Michael Parsons last year. It seems

00:16:08.129 --> 00:16:12.409
like a decent fit for Max Crosby. It'd be a step

00:16:12.409 --> 00:16:16.669
up. I mean, not much, but you know. There are

00:16:16.669 --> 00:16:19.590
a number of sources saying, yeah, but the Cowboys

00:16:19.590 --> 00:16:21.509
aren't interested. They're not going to do it.

00:16:21.549 --> 00:16:24.649
But of course, that's very likely a smokescreen.

00:16:26.610 --> 00:16:30.809
But I started thinking it would take Jerry Jones

00:16:30.809 --> 00:16:35.529
making a smart and reasonable football personnel

00:16:35.529 --> 00:16:39.809
decision. And he doesn't make very many of those.

00:16:39.929 --> 00:16:42.490
It's few and far between that he makes a smart,

00:16:42.570 --> 00:16:44.289
reasonable personnel decision. No, he trades

00:16:44.289 --> 00:16:47.110
Micah Parsons on a whim and doesn't tell anybody.

00:16:47.429 --> 00:16:50.750
Yeah. So I think if it does happen, it will be

00:16:50.750 --> 00:16:53.330
despite Jerry Jones. If it doesn't happen, it'll

00:16:53.330 --> 00:16:57.110
be because Jerry Jones. Yes, I agree. Yeah. But

00:16:57.110 --> 00:16:59.769
either way, I'm starting to feel like the Cowboys

00:16:59.769 --> 00:17:01.629
and the Giants are going to be slugging it out

00:17:01.629 --> 00:17:04.329
for that division next year. I think you're right.

00:17:06.490 --> 00:17:11.250
Will, you know, there's something going on with

00:17:11.250 --> 00:17:14.430
Max Crosby. I know people are saying that it's

00:17:14.430 --> 00:17:18.089
bullshit that Baltimore backed out of it, and

00:17:18.089 --> 00:17:22.230
probably so. But if he was that desirable...

00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:26.099
They would have done it anyhow. Yeah. And the

00:17:26.099 --> 00:17:28.640
excuse I've heard most often is with Crosby,

00:17:28.700 --> 00:17:30.599
it was a trade. They'd have to give up something.

00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.220
With Hendrickson, he was a free agent. All they

00:17:33.220 --> 00:17:35.200
had to do was sign him. Which, you know, makes

00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:38.440
sense. But it's still a crappy thing to do to

00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.400
Max Crosby, especially labeling him with he failed

00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:43.839
his physical, which could damage his reputation

00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:46.519
among other teams. It makes me wonder if there's

00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:49.000
like some shred of truth to it. It could be.

00:17:49.099 --> 00:17:51.000
It could be. I mean, he has had leg injuries.

00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:54.980
So it's reasonable. But I think most teams are

00:17:54.980 --> 00:17:56.720
like, yeah, we know you just wanted out of the

00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:59.180
deal. Yeah, yeah. And I think it was exploited,

00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:01.920
yes. But, I mean, the fact that a bunch of teams

00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:05.119
didn't just jump in line to get him I found very

00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:07.720
surprising. Yes. And it's not like they're asking

00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:10.740
for anything that crazy for him. Yeah, yeah.

00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:13.240
That's a point that they're really not talking

00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:16.220
about is nobody else is pursuing him that we

00:18:16.220 --> 00:18:21.720
know of. Yeah. It's odd. Mm -hmm. It would be

00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:24.240
really strange to see Max Crosby playing for

00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:26.200
the Raiders next year and see what his attitude

00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:29.299
might be. Couldn't be too good, you would think.

00:18:29.539 --> 00:18:32.920
Yeah. I mean, he's a quality player, quality

00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:35.759
guy. He'll probably make the honest effort, but

00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:38.779
really, if you know the team is trying to move

00:18:38.779 --> 00:18:42.759
you, how motivated do you really feel to put

00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:45.059
it all on the line for that team? Well, when

00:18:45.059 --> 00:18:47.420
does his contract end? Because then I can tell

00:18:47.420 --> 00:18:49.519
you a little bit more. I'm not sure about that.

00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:51.599
If he's buying for a new contract, you're going

00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:54.599
to see him play his ass off. Yeah, true. But

00:18:54.599 --> 00:19:01.319
if not, then, I mean, you know, feelings can't

00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:02.980
really help it. But if you think someone's trying

00:19:02.980 --> 00:19:05.200
to edge you out and, you know, and you're like

00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:07.079
going, well, why should I do anything for these

00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:10.200
guys? They don't want me here anyhow. Yeah. Yeah.

00:19:11.539 --> 00:19:15.000
But another interesting thing I saw on the feed

00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.519
this morning. was how they did the mock drafts.

00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:23.019
Up until recently, they've shown the Chiefs at

00:19:23.019 --> 00:19:25.759
the number nine pick more often than not drafting

00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:27.859
running back Jeremiah Love out of Notre Dame,

00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:31.380
which is way too high a pick to spend on a running

00:19:31.380 --> 00:19:36.960
back. We've proven that. Yes. And now that the

00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:41.400
Chiefs have Kenneth Walker instead at that number

00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:45.099
nine pick, I've seen mock drafts saying either

00:19:45.099 --> 00:19:48.819
the Chiefs take an edge rusher or the Chiefs

00:19:48.819 --> 00:19:52.140
trade out of that pick, trading with the Jets.

00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:54.960
And I started thinking, wow, maybe that was a

00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:57.519
secret clause for the Justin Fields trade is

00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:00.640
when draft day comes, you'll trade out of that

00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:02.920
pick with us if we want to. They trade really

00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:05.839
well with the Jets. Yeah, they do. But I wouldn't

00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:08.440
be surprised if that was a leftover clause from

00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:10.180
the Justin Fields deal. That wouldn't surprise

00:20:10.180 --> 00:20:13.319
me either. Yeah. Yeah. But the weird thing about

00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:17.400
Jeremiah Love is now that they don't have the

00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:20.099
Chiefs picking him at number nine, some mock

00:20:20.099 --> 00:20:22.640
drafts have him dropping out of the first round

00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:25.740
altogether, which tells me he never was a first

00:20:25.740 --> 00:20:29.759
-round draft choice. Legitimately, they were

00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:32.119
just putting him there because, whatever their

00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:36.039
reason. And some other mock drafts show teams

00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:39.799
who didn't take him. ahead of the Chiefs at number

00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:42.839
nine, suddenly now wanting him at number four

00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:45.559
or number five. It's like, no. I don't believe

00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:48.619
that. What has changed to make them suddenly

00:20:48.619 --> 00:20:51.680
want this player more? No, they could always

00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:54.200
have drafted him ahead of the Chiefs. Why suddenly

00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:57.400
now? Or is it now? Again, they're just trying

00:20:57.400 --> 00:20:59.380
to tell us what we want to hear, so we get all

00:20:59.380 --> 00:21:01.819
excited. Yeah, exactly. They're trying to create

00:21:01.819 --> 00:21:07.599
buzz. And the whole Jeremiah Love thing, I have

00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:10.180
no idea if it's ever true. Were they ever looking

00:21:10.180 --> 00:21:12.700
at him? Probably. Yeah, you mentioned that on

00:21:12.700 --> 00:21:14.619
the way down here. I hadn't thought about that.

00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:16.319
Yeah, but probably they never were interested

00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:17.940
in Jeremiah Love, but they were just letting

00:21:17.940 --> 00:21:20.039
everyone believe that. I think if they were interested

00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:24.920
in him, they would not have traded him. I mean,

00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:27.660
you know, on draft, you fall in love with that

00:21:27.660 --> 00:21:29.559
guy. Yeah. Right? You're like, oh, this is the

00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:36.569
guy we need. Yeah. So, I don't know. It's going

00:21:36.569 --> 00:21:38.230
to be interesting to see what actually really

00:21:38.230 --> 00:21:41.670
happens. We've got a few more weeks. I would

00:21:41.670 --> 00:21:46.410
not be all that upset if they traded down enough

00:21:46.410 --> 00:21:50.329
to get the tight end out of Oregon. I wouldn't

00:21:50.329 --> 00:21:53.670
either. I wouldn't either. I'm not sure how you

00:21:53.670 --> 00:21:59.430
pronounce his last name, S -A -D -I -Q. I haven't

00:21:59.430 --> 00:22:01.529
heard it enough and I'm familiar enough to tell

00:22:01.529 --> 00:22:03.880
you how it's pronounced, but yeah. I wouldn't

00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:05.640
mind doing that either. No, I think that would

00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:09.319
be a better choice for late first round, early

00:22:09.319 --> 00:22:11.799
second round. I think so too. I think so too

00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:15.500
because right now I don't see an urgent, unless

00:22:15.500 --> 00:22:18.299
there's a D lineman in there that I'm unaware

00:22:18.299 --> 00:22:22.180
of that they have their eyes on. I think a really

00:22:22.180 --> 00:22:24.819
good D lineman would definitely get their interest.

00:22:25.099 --> 00:22:27.720
Yeah. And I think there are a number of other

00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:29.779
teams that seem to be interested in drafting

00:22:29.779 --> 00:22:32.829
that tight end. So he may not last long enough

00:22:32.829 --> 00:22:34.950
for the Chiefs to get him, but that happens every

00:22:34.950 --> 00:22:37.410
year. So you make plans to work around that.

00:22:37.589 --> 00:22:42.309
No big deal. And an edge rusher specifically.

00:22:43.069 --> 00:22:47.829
Yeah. As long as we're talking about the draft,

00:22:48.109 --> 00:22:51.250
apart from quarterback, what do you think is

00:22:51.250 --> 00:22:53.970
the most difficult position to draft and get

00:22:53.970 --> 00:23:05.410
right? Okay. Let me think. Where do people swing

00:23:05.410 --> 00:23:07.730
and miss all the time besides a quarterback?

00:23:08.329 --> 00:23:12.089
I'm thinking pass rusher. Pass rusher. And wide

00:23:12.089 --> 00:23:15.490
receiver. I think pass rusher next and then wide

00:23:15.490 --> 00:23:18.529
receiver close. Yeah. Yeah. And then maybe O

00:23:18.529 --> 00:23:20.589
-lineman. O -lineman too, yeah. There's been

00:23:20.589 --> 00:23:24.410
a lot of. I mean, I don't call the players a

00:23:24.410 --> 00:23:26.230
bust because they have no control over where

00:23:26.230 --> 00:23:29.109
they get drafted. But I would say as far as the

00:23:29.109 --> 00:23:32.250
team goes, it's a wasted pick on a lot of offensive

00:23:32.250 --> 00:23:35.809
linemen because they just pick poorly. It's never

00:23:35.809 --> 00:23:38.329
the player's fault, how it turns out. It was

00:23:38.329 --> 00:23:40.509
always the team's fault for drafting them that

00:23:40.509 --> 00:23:42.289
early and thinking there was more there than

00:23:42.289 --> 00:23:45.900
there was. Yeah, true, true. But, you know, then

00:23:45.900 --> 00:23:47.500
there are the players that just don't even try.

00:23:47.619 --> 00:23:50.000
There was one player that, on his way to training

00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:52.720
camp, kidnapped somebody and held him for ransom.

00:23:54.420 --> 00:23:56.539
I forgot who that was. That was sometime back

00:23:56.539 --> 00:24:00.680
in the 60s. I can't remember who that was. It's

00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:02.539
like, why not rob a bank while you're at it?

00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:10.359
What was it? The X Factor or Superfan or whatever,

00:24:10.500 --> 00:24:12.890
the Chiefs? Guy who dressed up, he turns out

00:24:12.890 --> 00:24:16.589
he was a bank robber. Oh, my God. What was he,

00:24:16.650 --> 00:24:18.529
super fan or something? Yeah, I think he was

00:24:18.529 --> 00:24:22.569
a super fan. Yeah. He was affording those good

00:24:22.569 --> 00:24:24.690
tickets because he was robbing banks. Stupid

00:24:24.690 --> 00:24:27.150
ass. He was going to be robbing a lot more banks

00:24:27.150 --> 00:24:28.589
when they go to the new one, didn't he? Yeah,

00:24:28.589 --> 00:24:35.210
really. All right, let's see. I also have a story.

00:24:35.450 --> 00:24:39.130
Oh, are you done or you got more? Yeah, I think

00:24:39.130 --> 00:24:41.500
that's about it. I don't think any other positions

00:24:41.500 --> 00:24:47.779
are really all that commonly blown. Cornerbacks,

00:24:48.019 --> 00:24:50.559
usually if you think you've got a good one and

00:24:50.559 --> 00:24:52.579
you watch them, usually you do have a good one

00:24:52.579 --> 00:24:54.099
or at least someone that's going to be playing.

00:24:54.460 --> 00:24:58.000
Yeah, I think corner in college football really

00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:00.819
gets a chance to show what they're capable of.

00:25:00.980 --> 00:25:03.519
Yeah. We've got a leaf blower going here. It'll

00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:07.940
be on and off, so y 'all just ignore it. Yeah,

00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:14.500
true. Running backs. I mean, you know, there's

00:25:14.500 --> 00:25:16.660
so much involved in that, and I'm not going to

00:25:16.660 --> 00:25:18.579
go there because most of the good ones are found

00:25:18.579 --> 00:25:20.799
in the third round anyhow. This is true. This

00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:24.700
is true. Now, if you drop one in the first round,

00:25:24.740 --> 00:25:29.339
that's on you with the puck. Yeah. I mean, unless

00:25:29.339 --> 00:25:34.400
you have that Travis Henry, Jonathan Taylor,

00:25:34.539 --> 00:25:38.140
someone that's like a real, real clear -cut difference

00:25:38.140 --> 00:25:42.210
maker. Yeah. Yeah. Not worth a first -round pick.

00:25:42.670 --> 00:25:48.029
Usually you're not, no. Occasionally, if a running

00:25:48.029 --> 00:25:51.230
back gets drafted and he turns out to be phenomenal,

00:25:51.690 --> 00:25:55.509
occasionally a team will trade a late first -round

00:25:55.509 --> 00:25:58.029
pick to get him, but then they want something

00:25:58.029 --> 00:26:01.230
else in return, too. Yeah, you're going to have

00:26:01.230 --> 00:26:03.450
to send him a fourth -rounder or some shit or

00:26:03.450 --> 00:26:05.589
something, yeah. But in order to spend a first

00:26:05.589 --> 00:26:10.039
-round pick, you really want the... the proof

00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:11.720
of what the player is all about and what he can

00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:16.980
do. No quantity is tough to waste a first -round

00:26:16.980 --> 00:26:21.140
draft pick on anymore. Oh, yeah. Well, people

00:26:21.140 --> 00:26:24.480
started, well, it seems to me like franchises

00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:26.799
started taking a little bit more value in their

00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:29.539
draft picks than they used to. Yeah. I mean,

00:26:29.579 --> 00:26:31.839
remember when, was it Mike Dick and I forgot

00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:36.759
the other guy, or was he the GM and the head

00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:38.799
coach in New Orleans? Yeah, I think he was both.

00:26:39.319 --> 00:26:41.180
He traded all his rounds for Ricky Williams.

00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:45.079
Yep. And the NFL was furious about it, but there

00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:47.480
was nothing they could do to stop it. The next

00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:50.279
season there sure was. They passed a rule that

00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:53.220
said, no, you can't do that. Anything that excessive

00:26:53.220 --> 00:26:55.319
has to be approved to the league office first.

00:26:56.180 --> 00:26:58.819
Yeah, and that was insane because there wasn't

00:26:58.819 --> 00:27:01.539
a reason for it. No. There was no evidence to

00:27:01.539 --> 00:27:03.940
show that he was that great a running back to

00:27:03.940 --> 00:27:06.259
trade for him and to get up all those picks.

00:27:06.299 --> 00:27:09.069
And who was it? Was that Minnesota that gave

00:27:09.069 --> 00:27:11.549
him up? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, they did nothing

00:27:11.549 --> 00:27:14.890
with the picks, but, you know. But, yeah, that

00:27:14.890 --> 00:27:17.890
really – it could have severely unbalanced the

00:27:17.890 --> 00:27:20.710
league, which would just piss the NFL League

00:27:20.710 --> 00:27:24.450
office right off. Had to be a Saints fan when

00:27:24.450 --> 00:27:29.690
you saw that. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Well, maybe Ditka

00:27:29.690 --> 00:27:31.769
knew that, you know, it was all or nothing this

00:27:31.769 --> 00:27:34.579
season and his ass was gone if he didn't. do

00:27:34.579 --> 00:27:37.240
something. His undercoat, his ass was gone. It

00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:40.740
was, yeah. Ditka did okay in Buffalo because

00:27:40.740 --> 00:27:44.579
it was the exact right fit for him. But you put

00:27:44.579 --> 00:27:47.180
him in New Orleans and he showed that he really

00:27:47.180 --> 00:27:49.619
didn't know what to do. Yeah, yeah. And in Chicago,

00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:53.319
I mean, yeah, he was behind that big, the great

00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:56.819
defense and all that stuff. But, I mean, he also

00:27:56.819 --> 00:28:01.980
had a general manager behind him too. I mean,

00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:04.630
yeah. He is a great coach. He did win a Super

00:28:04.630 --> 00:28:09.950
Bowl, but still. Yeah. All right. I've got one

00:28:09.950 --> 00:28:13.750
more thing, and then we'll go to this a little

00:28:13.750 --> 00:28:17.690
bit later. Okay. Bullet points? Let's do some

00:28:17.690 --> 00:28:22.869
bullet points. Okay. What is the future of TV

00:28:22.869 --> 00:28:30.710
as we know it? Ooh. I think more and more programming

00:28:30.710 --> 00:28:32.829
is going to be the stuff that you really don't

00:28:32.829 --> 00:28:37.049
have to pay much attention to. So all the big

00:28:37.049 --> 00:28:41.230
blockbuster movies and series that you do pay

00:28:41.230 --> 00:28:43.869
attention to, like Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones

00:28:43.869 --> 00:28:45.150
or whatever, those are just going to move to

00:28:45.150 --> 00:28:47.710
the streaming services. I agree. I think any

00:28:47.710 --> 00:28:50.650
kind of decent quality entertainment is going

00:28:50.650 --> 00:28:54.210
to move to streaming. And what you're going to

00:28:54.210 --> 00:28:58.059
get over broadcast is going to be... Well, right

00:28:58.059 --> 00:29:01.480
now, if you look on a streaming service, a 30

00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:03.859
-minute TV show, when you cut the commercials

00:29:03.859 --> 00:29:06.960
out, is actually about 19 minutes. And that includes

00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:09.460
the opening credits and the ending credits. Yeah,

00:29:09.500 --> 00:29:12.619
that's everything. So you're approaching half

00:29:12.619 --> 00:29:16.319
commercials and half show. I think it's going

00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:18.440
to go well beyond that point. Oh, I think so,

00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:19.980
too. You're going to get meaningless entertainment

00:29:19.980 --> 00:29:23.559
like The Real Housewives of whatever. Yeah, stuff

00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:28.200
that costs nothing to produce. two -thirds to

00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:31.180
three -quarters advertisement, and it's going

00:29:31.180 --> 00:29:34.279
to have the bottom third of the screen running

00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:38.220
advertisements constantly as an overlay. And

00:29:38.220 --> 00:29:40.880
you can always pay for the premium service. Yes,

00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:44.000
but there are so many people that would sign

00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:46.180
right up for that and don't care because commercials

00:29:46.180 --> 00:29:48.240
don't bother them at all. It's like, I don't

00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:51.579
care. All right, that's the way TV is going to

00:29:51.579 --> 00:29:54.319
go. That's why I go get my ranch dip and chips

00:29:54.319 --> 00:30:04.690
or whatever. Yeah, true. Well, also, I agree

00:30:04.690 --> 00:30:08.230
with that 100%. I think it's going to be pieced

00:30:08.230 --> 00:30:10.589
together forever because I don't think that you're

00:30:10.589 --> 00:30:13.289
– there's so many acquisitions and sales and

00:30:13.289 --> 00:30:15.430
all that that I don't think they're ever going

00:30:15.430 --> 00:30:17.650
to consolidate everything like a cable does.

00:30:17.809 --> 00:30:23.089
Yeah. Now, things might get different when they

00:30:23.089 --> 00:30:26.089
eventually squeeze the broadcast over the air

00:30:26.089 --> 00:30:30.119
channels off. Because those wavelengths being

00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:32.900
used for over -the -air broadcast of TV signals

00:30:32.900 --> 00:30:37.180
are way too valuable to just spend on TV. Right

00:30:37.180 --> 00:30:40.720
now, the TV networks are able to pay enough to

00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:43.920
keep them viable. But that's not going to...

00:30:43.920 --> 00:30:47.180
No. It's like the KC Star. One time, that newspaper

00:30:47.180 --> 00:30:49.319
was very wealthy and very powerful and could

00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:51.960
do all sorts of stuff. Now it's nothing. Yeah,

00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:55.380
now it's not worth any advertising at all. People

00:30:55.380 --> 00:30:57.960
are not going to pay for that form of advertisement

00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:01.599
because it's simply not that popular. And I think

00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:04.119
TV networks are going to get to the point where

00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:06.339
every single one of them is just a crappy little

00:31:06.339 --> 00:31:09.500
nickel and dime outfit. And the government's

00:31:09.500 --> 00:31:11.859
going to say, you can't pay us enough to use

00:31:11.859 --> 00:31:13.819
all these wavelengths. We're taking them from

00:31:13.819 --> 00:31:15.740
you, and all of you are going to have to go onto

00:31:15.740 --> 00:31:18.890
cable now. I see that happening, and I see that

00:31:18.890 --> 00:31:21.029
happening in the next five to ten years easily.

00:31:21.390 --> 00:31:24.109
Yeah, and I think radio's not far behind, because

00:31:24.109 --> 00:31:27.049
right now the only reason that cars come with

00:31:27.049 --> 00:31:29.289
AM and FM radios is because they're required

00:31:29.289 --> 00:31:31.849
to by law because of the emergency broadcasting

00:31:31.849 --> 00:31:34.690
service and emergency alerts. Remember, they

00:31:34.690 --> 00:31:36.869
took away AM, but then they had to put it back.

00:31:37.049 --> 00:31:42.460
Yep. A lot of car manufacturers... took off am

00:31:42.460 --> 00:31:44.799
said well nobody's listening to it you know like

00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:47.160
i got a great for instance well now i can listen

00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:51.480
to um a10 whb on 1037 yeah they actually bought

00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:54.839
a signal from cumulus or rented not bought ready

00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:58.160
to signal an fm signal so i listened to them

00:31:58.160 --> 00:32:00.279
on there but before that instead of dealing with

00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:02.880
am i went to the internet yeah i would go on

00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:05.279
the internet and pick up their channel and blow

00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:07.460
it through my bluetooth in the car sounds so

00:32:07.460 --> 00:32:09.579
much better that way yeah it was perfect yeah

00:32:09.579 --> 00:32:12.960
so Yeah, the sound quality limitations of AM

00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:15.339
radios, they've never been able to get past.

00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:17.900
And that's also when I realized that the internet

00:32:17.900 --> 00:32:20.259
feed has different commercials than the FM feed.

00:32:20.259 --> 00:32:24.059
Yes, it sure does. But I can see car manufacturers

00:32:24.059 --> 00:32:27.940
eventually being able to put a dedicated emergency

00:32:27.940 --> 00:32:32.140
broadcast device in your car instead of a radio.

00:32:32.420 --> 00:32:34.920
Well, for instance, I think it was Rossington.

00:32:35.549 --> 00:32:39.009
One of our really good listeners sent in an email

00:32:39.009 --> 00:32:42.289
for the Douchebag Gangbang show and said that

00:32:42.289 --> 00:32:44.690
they're having bad weather down there in Dallas

00:32:44.690 --> 00:32:51.309
and that they kept running it over our program.

00:32:51.910 --> 00:32:55.089
And he thought, well, I don't know if he thought

00:32:55.089 --> 00:32:57.650
we were doing it. He wanted us to know. And it's

00:32:57.650 --> 00:32:59.250
like, well, that's your phone. You're not going

00:32:59.250 --> 00:33:01.930
to get away from that. Yeah, unless you're in

00:33:01.930 --> 00:33:04.599
airplane mode. Yeah. In which case you have to

00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:06.640
download the podcast and play it from memory.

00:33:06.740 --> 00:33:08.519
And then play, yeah. And that's actually a good

00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:10.140
way. You know those little games you play and

00:33:10.140 --> 00:33:13.160
they run a million ads between, like, Solitaire

00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:15.519
or whatever? Put your phone in airplane mode

00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:18.619
and it can't download all those ads. Of course,

00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:20.119
you've got to remember to take it out of airplane

00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:22.019
mode or you'll never get a call. Yeah, that's

00:33:22.019 --> 00:33:24.240
true. And you know what? I don't necessarily

00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:26.980
give a shit most of the times anyhow. Yeah. Most

00:33:26.980 --> 00:33:29.440
of the calls I get are bullshit. Yeah. This guy

00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:32.480
Scam Likely keeps calling me. Yeah, same here.

00:33:32.619 --> 00:33:34.920
Is he related to that white receiver named Likely?

00:33:35.380 --> 00:33:37.759
He is. The one who put his toe over the line,

00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:41.000
didn't wear white shoes? Yeah, but still wears

00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:44.519
black shoes. Yeah. So his brother, Scam, keeps

00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:46.619
calling me because the phone says, hey, his name

00:33:46.619 --> 00:33:49.740
is Scam Likely. Yeah, and also the inventor of

00:33:49.740 --> 00:33:54.339
Spam, the pork whatever. The actual meat product.

00:33:54.420 --> 00:33:57.660
Yeah, yeah. He keeps calling me too. Yeah. He's

00:33:57.660 --> 00:34:00.769
got an odd first name though, Potential. Oh,

00:34:00.769 --> 00:34:03.730
yeah. I wonder if that's like, I don't know,

00:34:03.829 --> 00:34:07.269
Bulgarian. I think it is. I looked it up. The

00:34:07.269 --> 00:34:09.829
origin I do believe is Bulgarian. Yeah. Yeah,

00:34:09.829 --> 00:34:12.309
potential. Maybe Hungarian, but something in

00:34:12.309 --> 00:34:14.949
the Aryan. Something like that. Don't say Aryan.

00:34:14.949 --> 00:34:16.429
Oh, wait a minute. Yeah, that's bad. That's bad.

00:34:16.429 --> 00:34:19.090
Yeah, let's say something in the Garian. Garian.

00:34:19.090 --> 00:34:23.269
There we go. The Garian countries. Then you have

00:34:23.269 --> 00:34:26.869
the Ikistan countries. Yeah, the Ikistans. Yeah,

00:34:26.949 --> 00:34:32.280
yeah. It must mean something. I'm sure it does.

00:34:32.340 --> 00:34:35.579
Yeah, it's like there's so many cities over here

00:34:35.579 --> 00:34:38.179
that end in the word city. And people from other

00:34:38.179 --> 00:34:40.139
countries are like, what the hell does C -I -T

00:34:40.139 --> 00:34:41.840
-Y mean and why do they use it in other countries'

00:34:41.860 --> 00:34:42.800
city names? Why are they using it all the time?

00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:46.860
I'm sure it's something just like that. Because

00:34:46.860 --> 00:34:48.900
they didn't teach us much language skills in

00:34:48.900 --> 00:34:51.340
high school. No. Because they don't want us to

00:34:51.340 --> 00:34:53.480
know. They never gave us the why we're doing

00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:55.139
it. They just told you this is the way we do

00:34:55.139 --> 00:34:58.500
it. You can learn Spanish or you can hear French.

00:34:59.179 --> 00:35:01.639
Yeah. Well, what if I want to learn something

00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:08.559
else? No. Yep, pretty much. I wound up taking

00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:10.480
three years of French. I wish I'd taken three

00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:12.340
years of Spanish. I could actually use that.

00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:13.900
You could use Spanish? I could have used that

00:35:13.900 --> 00:35:16.099
all the time when I was delivering mail. I don't

00:35:16.099 --> 00:35:17.760
remember a single French person on the route,

00:35:17.860 --> 00:35:19.480
but there were a lot of people speaking Spanish.

00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:22.659
Also, you can actually figure out what they're

00:35:22.659 --> 00:35:24.940
saying about you too, which is really valuable

00:35:24.940 --> 00:35:30.889
sometimes. Yeah. All right. Will movie theaters

00:35:30.889 --> 00:35:33.750
become obsolete? Yeah, they pretty much have,

00:35:33.829 --> 00:35:36.469
haven't they? Yeah. I can see some being turned

00:35:36.469 --> 00:35:41.309
into live event venues, but I really don't know

00:35:41.309 --> 00:35:43.730
if that's going to pay the rent. I don't think

00:35:43.730 --> 00:35:47.329
so. For instance, the B &B Theater downtown,

00:35:47.630 --> 00:35:49.650
the old Alamo Drafthouse, which went under too,

00:35:49.809 --> 00:35:53.960
they're closing down. Not B &B, but I'm probably

00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:57.860
close to, but I mean, not yet. But the one downtown's

00:35:57.860 --> 00:36:02.639
gone. Yep. COVID really did a number on that.

00:36:03.079 --> 00:36:06.619
It's not because it changed everyone from like,

00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:08.579
oh, I don't want to go into theater because I'll

00:36:08.579 --> 00:36:12.340
get infected. It made people realize that they

00:36:12.340 --> 00:36:14.800
can get that same entertainment without going

00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:16.579
to the movie theater and spending all that money.

00:36:16.579 --> 00:36:19.099
And that's what people are doing. Yeah. Is they

00:36:19.099 --> 00:36:22.199
learn they can live without theater releases.

00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:24.619
And also, everybody has a 70 -inch TV. Yeah.

00:36:24.739 --> 00:36:27.199
And the great surround sound. And the great surround

00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:29.719
sound. Or good headphones and earbuds. It's like,

00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:32.360
yeah, you don't need to go there and sit in a

00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:36.960
stinky seat with a sticky floor eating $15 popcorn.

00:36:37.420 --> 00:36:39.860
Yeah. And sitting through 20 minutes of commercials

00:36:39.860 --> 00:36:41.880
before the movie comes on. And that's one of

00:36:41.880 --> 00:36:44.900
the things, too, is people would buy the stuff

00:36:44.900 --> 00:36:48.539
there if they were reasonable. But it's not reasonable.

00:36:48.880 --> 00:36:53.219
It is so overpriced that people are like, you

00:36:53.219 --> 00:36:55.699
know, I would love to, like, help keep you guys

00:36:55.699 --> 00:36:58.940
going, but I'm not paying $15 for a bag of popcorn.

00:36:59.159 --> 00:37:02.559
Yeah. You know, this is excessive. Yeah. It's

00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:05.300
like the food at the stadiums. Yeah, same thing.

00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:07.260
It's like, yeah. Captive audience. What else

00:37:07.260 --> 00:37:09.559
are you going to do? Go hungry? Yeah, well, that's

00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:11.500
where that card comes in that guarantees you're

00:37:11.500 --> 00:37:13.900
going to spend a certain amount, which has been

00:37:13.900 --> 00:37:16.559
floated around but would not surprise me if that's

00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:19.699
the truth eventually. So, yeah, you know, it's

00:37:19.699 --> 00:37:22.860
like we've got to make it to where we make you

00:37:22.860 --> 00:37:27.860
buy that $30 cheeseburger. Yeah, yeah. Or keep

00:37:27.860 --> 00:37:30.340
it simple, make it like a hotel where you put

00:37:30.340 --> 00:37:32.929
a credit card on file. So when you buy your season

00:37:32.929 --> 00:37:35.329
tickets, you put a credit card on file, and when

00:37:35.329 --> 00:37:36.750
you go to the game, they're like, yeah, we're

00:37:36.750 --> 00:37:39.369
charging you $250, so you might as well order

00:37:39.369 --> 00:37:44.929
some food. Yeah, yep. Yeah, so. Oh, and then

00:37:44.929 --> 00:37:46.750
you have to tip on top of that. Oh, yeah, yeah,

00:37:46.750 --> 00:37:50.570
yeah, of course. Which was the question of the

00:37:50.570 --> 00:37:54.090
week on the gang ban. It was like, yeah, do you

00:37:54.090 --> 00:37:57.030
think tipping's gone too far? Way too far. Way

00:37:57.030 --> 00:37:59.630
too far. So many other countries around the planet.

00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:02.800
don't have this insane tipping culture that we

00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:05.679
have here. No, they don't. It's odd. In a lot

00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:09.019
of places, businesses actually pay their employees

00:38:09.019 --> 00:38:12.420
enough in wages that they don't need tips. Imagine

00:38:12.420 --> 00:38:17.119
that. Instead, you go to a restaurant and you're

00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:19.639
subsidizing their workforce, you're allowing

00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:22.780
them to pay their workforce shit wages, and you

00:38:22.780 --> 00:38:27.119
make up for it by tipping. Isn't that funny how

00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:28.960
they convinced us that we're supposed to go help

00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:33.039
pay their payroll? Yeah. It's a great scam. It

00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:37.539
is. It's an awesome scam. It's like the question

00:38:37.539 --> 00:38:41.239
asked, you know. There's like self -checkout

00:38:41.239 --> 00:38:44.460
machines prompting you for tips now. Who gets

00:38:44.460 --> 00:38:48.039
that money? Corporate. Corporate, yeah. Yeah.

00:38:48.179 --> 00:38:49.980
And who's dumb enough to do that? Obviously,

00:38:50.039 --> 00:38:51.980
people are. That's why they have them. Yeah.

00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:54.980
Hey, when I was delivering mail. Wouldn't that

00:38:54.980 --> 00:38:58.079
be awesome if like all 600 to 700 people on my

00:38:58.079 --> 00:39:00.659
route daily would give me a tip? Yeah, that'd

00:39:00.659 --> 00:39:02.659
be great. Hey, just a buck from every person.

00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:04.760
Then I wouldn't have to work anymore. I don't

00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:06.780
know. A couple years of that and you're like

00:39:06.780 --> 00:39:08.519
not doing it anymore. You're like, fuck it. Hey,

00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:10.739
I'm walking up to your house. I'm stuffing all

00:39:10.739 --> 00:39:12.940
this mail in your mailbox. I'm picking up your

00:39:12.940 --> 00:39:16.579
outgoing stuff. I deserve a tip. Yeah. I would

00:39:16.579 --> 00:39:18.719
be more inclined to give you a tip than I would

00:39:18.719 --> 00:39:21.159
someone that's just doing a to -go order. Yeah.

00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:23.500
And it's like, wait, you're doing your job that

00:39:23.500 --> 00:39:26.400
you did before that you didn't require extra

00:39:26.400 --> 00:39:31.199
money. So what's the difference now? All right.

00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:36.300
Next question. Will Hollywood go under? No, I

00:39:36.300 --> 00:39:39.340
think it'll adapt. I think so too. Yeah. As shitty

00:39:39.340 --> 00:39:42.860
as it is. Yeah. Yeah. Because Hollywood exists

00:39:42.860 --> 00:39:46.940
to make an enormous amount of money. They don't

00:39:46.940 --> 00:39:50.119
care about agendas. They don't care about influencing.

00:39:51.980 --> 00:39:55.519
They don't care about anything if it doesn't

00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:58.239
make them money. Making money is the main thing.

00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:01.019
So whatever makes them money, they will do. And

00:40:01.019 --> 00:40:03.820
if making TV shows and movies and things like

00:40:03.820 --> 00:40:06.619
that suddenly becomes difficult or expensive,

00:40:06.960 --> 00:40:09.239
they'll shift to something else. Yeah, they will.

00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:11.039
They'll start making podcasts. They'll start

00:40:11.039 --> 00:40:13.900
making commercials only. They'll start making,

00:40:14.099 --> 00:40:16.619
I don't know, training films. They'll do something

00:40:16.619 --> 00:40:20.829
to keep the money flowing and keep their... Whatever

00:40:20.829 --> 00:40:25.809
it is going. Yep. They're whatever it allegedly

00:40:25.809 --> 00:40:31.349
is going. All right. Do you believe that freelance

00:40:31.349 --> 00:40:33.929
talent on the Internet will continue to be the

00:40:33.929 --> 00:40:37.210
rage? God, I hope so. I think so. I don't see

00:40:37.210 --> 00:40:40.170
any reason why not. Well, unless they change

00:40:40.170 --> 00:40:42.929
the rules dramatically, it's a perfect platform

00:40:42.929 --> 00:40:46.000
for most people. Yeah. You know, you just dip

00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:48.079
into it when you want. You leave whenever you

00:40:48.079 --> 00:40:53.099
want. You don't pay extra. Your algorithms will,

00:40:53.139 --> 00:40:55.360
like, if you like seeing people get smacked in

00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:57.639
the balls, your algorithms will start throwing

00:40:57.639 --> 00:41:00.420
that at you. You know, I mean, so actually it

00:41:00.420 --> 00:41:03.360
works pretty well, I think. And I tend to like

00:41:03.360 --> 00:41:07.309
channels with fewer subscribers. Just because

00:41:07.309 --> 00:41:09.530
the more subscribers they have for their channel,

00:41:09.610 --> 00:41:12.110
the more likely they are to quit being who they

00:41:12.110 --> 00:41:14.130
started to be and just be whatever it takes to

00:41:14.130 --> 00:41:16.329
pander to the subscribers. All the time. Yeah.

00:41:17.050 --> 00:41:20.530
It's like when NPR programs, you know, they program

00:41:20.530 --> 00:41:22.929
to whoever's going to donate during Pledge Week.

00:41:23.329 --> 00:41:26.690
These content creators are like, okay, these

00:41:26.690 --> 00:41:29.269
people over here sent me tons of money on my

00:41:29.269 --> 00:41:31.690
last livestream because I said and did these

00:41:31.690 --> 00:41:33.530
things. I'm going to do that a lot more often.

00:41:33.769 --> 00:41:36.480
Yeah. There's one channel I used to watch because

00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:39.019
a guy would play simulation games, and he'd do

00:41:39.019 --> 00:41:41.340
tutorials and kind of how -to, show you tips

00:41:41.340 --> 00:41:44.420
and tricks. but he's pretty much abandoned that,

00:41:44.500 --> 00:41:47.679
and all he does now are live streams of him gaming,

00:41:47.780 --> 00:41:51.719
because people just throw money at him. He'll

00:41:51.719 --> 00:41:54.119
do a five to seven hour live stream of himself

00:41:54.119 --> 00:41:56.960
playing something, and he'll maybe play for about

00:41:56.960 --> 00:41:59.619
an hour through that time. The rest of the time,

00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:01.739
he's got it on pause, and he's talking with people

00:42:01.739 --> 00:42:04.119
in the chat stream, thanking them for all the

00:42:04.119 --> 00:42:07.599
money they're giving. Why am I going to sit here

00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:09.980
and watch this guy rake in money? I want to see

00:42:09.980 --> 00:42:12.360
him play the game. Yeah. I mean, he's become

00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:15.739
just insanely boring to me. He's making tons

00:42:15.739 --> 00:42:18.480
of money, so he ain't going to change. No, he's

00:42:18.480 --> 00:42:20.460
going to continue doing that. Yep. So it used

00:42:20.460 --> 00:42:22.739
to be a fun and interesting channel. Now it's

00:42:22.739 --> 00:42:26.360
just a money grab. And I'm the same way, too.

00:42:26.460 --> 00:42:30.159
If it has a lot of subscribers, generally you're

00:42:30.159 --> 00:42:34.150
going to see this dragging. Yeah. Okay, they

00:42:34.150 --> 00:42:37.570
drag so they can fit more commercials in and

00:42:37.570 --> 00:42:40.869
more time of you watching. Yeah, yeah. I've listened

00:42:40.869 --> 00:42:43.190
to some where they say the same thing in about

00:42:43.190 --> 00:42:46.210
six different ways. Yeah. And then they say something

00:42:46.210 --> 00:42:48.050
else, and then they go back to that thing they've

00:42:48.050 --> 00:42:50.510
already said six different ways. Kevin Keatsman

00:42:50.510 --> 00:42:53.090
was really good at that when he was on broadcast

00:42:53.090 --> 00:42:55.969
radio. Yeah. He could take 20 minutes to tell

00:42:55.969 --> 00:42:58.760
you one thing. And at the end of that, you weren't

00:42:58.760 --> 00:43:01.039
really sure exactly if he told you anything or

00:43:01.039 --> 00:43:03.139
not. Because he was so good at sight tracking.

00:43:03.280 --> 00:43:07.539
Oh no, he was a master. Just stalling, delaying,

00:43:07.539 --> 00:43:10.460
padding it out the time. It was amazing. That's

00:43:10.460 --> 00:43:13.960
how come his podcast is an hour long. You don't

00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:16.699
drag him out quite like that on a podcast. He

00:43:16.699 --> 00:43:19.179
had like a 3 -4 hour radio show and he had about

00:43:19.179 --> 00:43:21.619
an hour's worth of material. So he padded everything

00:43:21.619 --> 00:43:24.739
out. And the first 10 minutes back from the commercial

00:43:24.739 --> 00:43:27.090
break would be a recap of Everything you talked

00:43:27.090 --> 00:43:29.530
about in the last hour is like more wasted time.

00:43:29.789 --> 00:43:34.170
Yeah. Yep. He was really good at it. I'm sure

00:43:34.170 --> 00:43:37.449
he still is. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he is. I listen

00:43:37.449 --> 00:43:40.630
to his podcast occasionally. And actually, I

00:43:40.630 --> 00:43:43.269
think he's better at the podcast than he is great

00:43:43.269 --> 00:43:45.989
on radio. Obviously, he did so well. I listen

00:43:45.989 --> 00:43:51.849
to him. But the thing is, is he's better at podcasting

00:43:51.849 --> 00:43:55.250
because he's really good at delivering it. It's

00:43:55.250 --> 00:43:57.650
a great delivery is what he does. And his monologues

00:43:57.650 --> 00:44:00.389
are really strong and going in a certain area.

00:44:00.630 --> 00:44:04.090
And I believe he probably has more freedom on

00:44:04.090 --> 00:44:06.710
when to take the breaks. With the radio format,

00:44:07.030 --> 00:44:09.769
the news break is coming at exactly this time.

00:44:09.969 --> 00:44:12.690
The commercial break is coming at exactly this

00:44:12.690 --> 00:44:15.650
time. So you've got to make your point by then.

00:44:16.170 --> 00:44:19.489
But now it's like he can take an extra three

00:44:19.489 --> 00:44:21.309
or four minutes to make his point and then go

00:44:21.309 --> 00:44:23.110
to a break because it's not depending on the

00:44:23.110 --> 00:44:25.570
network timing. Yes. It's like, hey, take a break

00:44:25.570 --> 00:44:27.570
whenever I feel like it. I can finish my point,

00:44:27.730 --> 00:44:30.030
set everyone up for the next thing, and then

00:44:30.030 --> 00:44:32.409
take a break. Yeah. It's got to be so much easier.

00:44:32.650 --> 00:44:37.050
Yeah. Yep, I agree. So, yeah, and I think, you

00:44:37.050 --> 00:44:39.789
know, he does one hour of radio a day on 710.

00:44:40.619 --> 00:44:43.000
And I think that's by design, too. I think he

00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:44.940
doesn't want any more than that because he does

00:44:44.940 --> 00:44:47.099
so well with the podcast and gets to do what

00:44:47.099 --> 00:44:49.300
he wants. Yeah, I think an hour is enough to

00:44:49.300 --> 00:44:52.159
do a lead -in to his podcast. Yeah. It's not

00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:54.579
like he's doing the podcast to try to get back

00:44:54.579 --> 00:44:57.300
on radio. He's doing some radio to get you over

00:44:57.300 --> 00:45:00.579
to his podcast. Yes, yeah. And the thing is,

00:45:00.659 --> 00:45:05.860
he said something not too long ago that people

00:45:05.860 --> 00:45:08.599
deemed iffy. And there's nothing they can do

00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:10.539
about it because what are they going to do, take

00:45:10.539 --> 00:45:13.840
away his podcast? Yeah. It's a perfect crime.

00:45:14.039 --> 00:45:16.420
There are no FCC rules. No. Because he's not

00:45:16.420 --> 00:45:19.679
broadcasting a damn thing. No, nope. And that's

00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:22.400
the thing. He can say whatever he wants, however

00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:25.400
he feels, and no one can mess with him, really.

00:45:25.539 --> 00:45:29.659
Yeah. I mean, anything besides slander or something

00:45:29.659 --> 00:45:33.659
like that, you know. True, yeah. Okay, so I just

00:45:33.659 --> 00:45:36.170
got over a bout with COVID. I tested negative,

00:45:36.289 --> 00:45:39.449
by the way, so you're fine. How long will it

00:45:39.449 --> 00:45:43.710
be around? I'm saying it's not going away. Yeah,

00:45:43.730 --> 00:45:46.210
I don't think it's ever going away. It's just

00:45:46.210 --> 00:45:48.730
going to be different forms. Yeah, yeah. That's

00:45:48.730 --> 00:45:50.690
the weird thing is it will eventually mutate

00:45:50.690 --> 00:45:54.269
into other weird things. Yeah. And who knows

00:45:54.269 --> 00:45:56.469
if they'll bring it back some year as, oh, this

00:45:56.469 --> 00:45:58.789
is the new COVID. This is what it is now. Everyone

00:45:58.789 --> 00:46:02.070
gets scared. We all know that it's all about

00:46:02.070 --> 00:46:05.210
money. Yeah. And I'm not saying they purposely

00:46:05.210 --> 00:46:08.150
did or didn't unleash it or anything like that.

00:46:08.210 --> 00:46:11.170
What I'm saying is they found a way to make their

00:46:11.170 --> 00:46:13.250
money off of it and they're going with it. Exactly.

00:46:13.250 --> 00:46:16.250
However COVID came about, people found a way

00:46:16.250 --> 00:46:18.889
to monetize it right away. So therefore, yes.

00:46:19.070 --> 00:46:22.969
Yeah. And so if there's an advantage in them

00:46:22.969 --> 00:46:25.170
calling it COVID, that's what you're going to

00:46:25.170 --> 00:46:28.309
get. True. If they think they can make more money

00:46:28.309 --> 00:46:31.409
by calling it the new whatever, then that's what

00:46:31.409 --> 00:46:33.849
you're going to get. Before COVID, it was SARS.

00:46:34.050 --> 00:46:35.949
We were all supposed to be just totally afraid

00:46:35.949 --> 00:46:38.230
of SARS. Yeah, that's right. Before that, it

00:46:38.230 --> 00:46:42.570
was swine flu or avian flu, bird flu. Yeah, back

00:46:42.570 --> 00:46:46.110
in the 70s, I think it was swine flu. Med -Cal,

00:46:46.269 --> 00:46:49.030
that was like a huge deal. We were hearing about

00:46:49.030 --> 00:46:52.050
all these tens of thousands of cattle being slaughtered

00:46:52.050 --> 00:46:53.809
because they were exposed and it was driving

00:46:53.809 --> 00:46:56.900
beef prices up. But that was the thing. It was

00:46:56.900 --> 00:46:59.219
an excuse to get... It was driving beef prices

00:46:59.219 --> 00:47:01.800
up where people manipulate in the market, not

00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:04.199
this mad cow disease that got, I don't know,

00:47:04.360 --> 00:47:07.780
10 ,000 cows. And I'm sure those 10 ,000 cows

00:47:07.780 --> 00:47:10.519
were killed at the slaughterhouse and then turned

00:47:10.519 --> 00:47:14.659
into hamburger and roasts. But they got a great

00:47:14.659 --> 00:47:17.800
convenient excuse. Yeah, whoever checks. You

00:47:17.800 --> 00:47:20.679
know, the news networks and all the other people

00:47:20.679 --> 00:47:23.280
tell you, yeah, mad cow outbreak. Well, there's

00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:24.900
something in it for them, too. They're getting

00:47:24.900 --> 00:47:28.679
you to watch their TV show. Yes. Yep. Yeah, the

00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:31.739
sensationalism on everything is insane. Yeah.

00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:35.199
But, you know, if it's somebody you like, you

00:47:35.199 --> 00:47:38.059
tend to believe whatever they tell you. And if

00:47:38.059 --> 00:47:39.840
it's somebody who's telling you something that

00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:42.460
you already like, you tend to believe them right

00:47:42.460 --> 00:47:46.960
away. Yes. It's not a criticism. That's the way

00:47:46.960 --> 00:47:48.980
humans are. No, it's true. Our brains are wired.

00:47:49.340 --> 00:47:51.260
Yep. And if it's somebody you don't like, you

00:47:51.260 --> 00:47:53.519
tend to not believe anything they tell you. Or

00:47:53.519 --> 00:47:55.119
if they're telling you something that upsets

00:47:55.119 --> 00:47:57.480
you, you tend to think, oh, it's a lie. I don't

00:47:57.480 --> 00:47:59.780
believe that. Oh, that's a very good point right

00:47:59.780 --> 00:48:01.780
there. If it's something that upsets you, yeah,

00:48:01.900 --> 00:48:03.880
that's the first thing people do. Oh, that's

00:48:03.880 --> 00:48:06.179
bullshit. I don't believe it for one minute.

00:48:06.579 --> 00:48:08.739
I can't believe that. It doesn't suit my purposes.

00:48:09.179 --> 00:48:12.440
Exactly. People filter stuff the way they want

00:48:12.440 --> 00:48:14.760
it. Yep. Everyone does it. It's not a criticism.

00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:17.980
It's just, let's be a little more self -aware.

00:48:18.400 --> 00:48:20.019
what we're telling ourselves. Well, that's the

00:48:20.019 --> 00:48:22.280
thing. Self -aware is what gets me. It's like

00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:25.119
you either know what you're doing or, you know,

00:48:25.239 --> 00:48:29.159
I mean, so. And most people tend to look the

00:48:29.159 --> 00:48:31.599
other way. It's like the people who think that

00:48:31.599 --> 00:48:34.380
we really have a chance to make the NFL give

00:48:34.380 --> 00:48:37.239
us another team here in Kansas City because we

00:48:37.239 --> 00:48:39.360
lost ours. I know. They really think that there's

00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:41.539
even the slightest possibility because they're

00:48:41.539 --> 00:48:43.880
just fooling themselves. Yeah. I mean, the reality

00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:45.739
is it ain't going to happen. And there's like

00:48:45.739 --> 00:48:47.940
a thousand reasons why it ain't going to happen.

00:48:48.280 --> 00:48:50.699
But they want to believe. There would be a better

00:48:50.699 --> 00:48:54.039
chance if Missouri really wanted a team. They

00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:56.380
would have to negotiate with NFL, which they

00:48:56.380 --> 00:48:58.800
are not capable of doing very well, obviously.

00:48:59.099 --> 00:49:01.940
They would have to negotiate with NFL and a team

00:49:01.940 --> 00:49:04.980
to bring to St. Louis. But there will not be

00:49:04.980 --> 00:49:09.420
a team ever competing with Kansas City, Missouri,

00:49:09.639 --> 00:49:14.039
or Kansas. Unless the Chiefs leave. And then

00:49:14.039 --> 00:49:16.179
they'll be competing against the Chiefs somewhere

00:49:16.179 --> 00:49:23.659
else. But that kind of wishful thinking and fooling

00:49:23.659 --> 00:49:26.940
yourself is just kind of scary to me. It is.

00:49:26.980 --> 00:49:29.059
Because being around those people, they can get

00:49:29.059 --> 00:49:32.059
you into all sorts of shit. Yeah. Because their

00:49:32.059 --> 00:49:34.380
lives are probably full of all sorts of damage

00:49:34.380 --> 00:49:37.500
and problems because they won't face reality.

00:49:37.500 --> 00:49:40.360
It's like, okay, you go live your life over there.

00:49:40.420 --> 00:49:41.800
I'm going to stay over here where it's quiet

00:49:41.800 --> 00:49:47.380
and peaceful. Yeah. Yep. Drew, all right, next

00:49:47.380 --> 00:49:50.980
one. With younger generations growing up on the

00:49:50.980 --> 00:49:53.559
Internet with playlists and such, and we've already

00:49:53.559 --> 00:49:55.460
kind of answered this, but we'll go into it again.

00:49:55.820 --> 00:49:59.079
Will terrestrial radio be phased out? Yeah, I

00:49:59.079 --> 00:50:02.000
believe so. I think so, too. I think it's pretty

00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:03.960
much like this. It's like you have an option

00:50:03.960 --> 00:50:06.280
to subscribe to this service if you don't have

00:50:06.280 --> 00:50:09.849
a phone that you can get in. whatever on or they

00:50:09.849 --> 00:50:11.909
might just start doing that where it's subscription

00:50:11.909 --> 00:50:15.530
where you get uh oh all of iheart's radios all

00:50:15.530 --> 00:50:20.369
of cumulus's for uh 4 .99 a month yeah anywhere

00:50:20.369 --> 00:50:23.309
in the world i could see that happening think

00:50:23.309 --> 00:50:27.710
about it broadcast radio as an form of entertainment

00:50:27.710 --> 00:50:30.690
has been around for only a little over 100 years

00:50:30.690 --> 00:50:33.730
yeah just a little over 100 years and look how

00:50:33.730 --> 00:50:37.139
much It's changed in how it's hanging by a thread

00:50:37.139 --> 00:50:38.800
after just that short amount of time. I remember

00:50:38.800 --> 00:50:42.719
when FM was taking over AM. Yeah. You know, KY

00:50:42.719 --> 00:50:47.420
-102 was a big thing in Kansas City because FM

00:50:47.420 --> 00:50:53.920
and the big swing in D in Kansas City was WHB

00:50:53.920 --> 00:50:58.579
-710 AM at the time. And you had Rockin' Johnny

00:50:58.579 --> 00:51:00.920
Dolan and all of those guys. I mean, yeah, they

00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:04.730
were like the first big booming. rock station

00:51:04.730 --> 00:51:08.809
in Kansas City. Yeah. Very tempered after something

00:51:08.809 --> 00:51:11.769
like WLS and Chicago or something like that.

00:51:12.050 --> 00:51:14.630
Yeah. If you wanted to hear the newest rock songs,

00:51:14.889 --> 00:51:19.130
then you would tune into them. So then, KY came

00:51:19.130 --> 00:51:21.809
out, and it wasn't necessarily their playlist,

00:51:21.929 --> 00:51:26.090
but it was the fact that they're on FM. Yeah.

00:51:26.110 --> 00:51:29.010
And it was so much better sounding. Yeah, it

00:51:29.010 --> 00:51:30.570
really was. And it didn't go out underneath the

00:51:30.570 --> 00:51:35.369
bridges, you know. It was a really clear stereo

00:51:35.369 --> 00:51:37.230
sound. People ran out and started buying their

00:51:37.230 --> 00:51:39.789
Jensens and Kragers and all that. Yeah, and you

00:51:39.789 --> 00:51:41.949
could get a decent signal after sundown from

00:51:41.949 --> 00:51:47.050
FM. Yeah. Oh, man, I thought I was going to keep

00:51:47.050 --> 00:51:52.909
going. I slipped my mind. Okay. So KY came by,

00:51:53.050 --> 00:51:56.610
and then they introduced a lot of personalities,

00:51:56.869 --> 00:52:00.210
too, because they had to because WHB had those

00:52:00.210 --> 00:52:03.139
personalities that everybody was used to. So

00:52:03.139 --> 00:52:05.760
KY combined took the banner primarily because

00:52:05.760 --> 00:52:08.460
it's FM, but they had to do it right, and I'm

00:52:08.460 --> 00:52:10.800
not taking any credit away from them at all.

00:52:10.860 --> 00:52:13.400
They had years and years and years of ultimate

00:52:13.400 --> 00:52:16.440
success. I mean, they had the number one rated

00:52:16.440 --> 00:52:19.159
station in Kansas City over everything else for

00:52:19.159 --> 00:52:23.059
years. Yeah, yeah. At the time they really started

00:52:23.059 --> 00:52:26.800
going, they found a segment of the market that

00:52:26.800 --> 00:52:29.300
was fairly young that they really appealed to.

00:52:29.920 --> 00:52:32.519
And then that segment of the market grew up,

00:52:32.539 --> 00:52:34.760
and as they aged, they continued listening to

00:52:34.760 --> 00:52:37.599
102. And 102 kind of altered their programming

00:52:37.599 --> 00:52:40.599
to keep that big audience, big baby boomer audience.

00:52:41.519 --> 00:52:44.059
And there just really isn't a big audience like

00:52:44.059 --> 00:52:46.000
that anymore. No, no. Because there are too many

00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:48.780
choices. No, I know. Well, I've got an example

00:52:48.780 --> 00:52:50.340
of you. Have you listened to the Fox lately?

00:52:50.800 --> 00:52:53.260
No, actually, I haven't. Okay, well, if you do,

00:52:53.360 --> 00:52:56.940
you're going to hear a lot of Green Day, Stained.

00:52:57.440 --> 00:53:00.199
Stuff like that. Stuff that's 25 years old, not

00:53:00.199 --> 00:53:03.599
50 years old. Rarely do you hear the Beatles

00:53:03.599 --> 00:53:05.519
on there when you used to hear them all the time.

00:53:05.820 --> 00:53:08.860
This is true. This is true. Mamas and Papas.

00:53:08.920 --> 00:53:12.900
All of that classic stuff you used to hear on

00:53:12.900 --> 00:53:16.500
101, but it had to grow up with the people. So

00:53:16.500 --> 00:53:19.380
now they're reaching back 25 years, at the most

00:53:19.380 --> 00:53:22.159
40. You'll get some Aerosmith and stuff like

00:53:22.159 --> 00:53:26.659
that. They're even past the Motley Crue and the

00:53:26.659 --> 00:53:29.719
Def Leppard scene. Now they're going on to the

00:53:29.719 --> 00:53:34.340
90s era and now the 2000s, early 2000s. Or if

00:53:34.340 --> 00:53:38.360
the song came out in 2000, 2001, it is classic

00:53:38.360 --> 00:53:42.780
rock. Yeah, that's kind of the cutoff point for

00:53:42.780 --> 00:53:46.780
an antique car in 25 years. You can get an antique

00:53:46.780 --> 00:53:49.099
plate for your car if it's more than 25 years

00:53:49.099 --> 00:53:52.400
old. At least in Missouri you can. So any music

00:53:52.400 --> 00:53:55.360
that's 25 years older or more is considered classic

00:53:55.360 --> 00:53:57.699
rock, which means every year you add another

00:53:57.699 --> 00:54:04.400
year. And I remember there used to be some songs

00:54:04.400 --> 00:54:08.599
from the 60s, you know, late 60s, that 101 would

00:54:08.599 --> 00:54:11.400
play a lot. I doubt they play anything earlier

00:54:11.400 --> 00:54:14.929
than, say, 1975 now. I don't think so. I don't

00:54:14.929 --> 00:54:17.449
think they play anything earlier than that. And

00:54:17.449 --> 00:54:20.230
it's not even much of that. Well, if it's early

00:54:20.230 --> 00:54:23.829
Black Sabbath. Yeah, the standards. But I wonder

00:54:23.829 --> 00:54:26.409
if 101 even plays Freebird anymore. That used

00:54:26.409 --> 00:54:28.730
to be a staple. I don't think they play it that

00:54:28.730 --> 00:54:32.630
much. I don't think so. Yeah. So, in other words,

00:54:32.650 --> 00:54:35.070
they do still play some of that stuff. Yeah.

00:54:35.130 --> 00:54:37.329
But they don't go back so far to where you get

00:54:37.329 --> 00:54:39.889
the Beatles or something like that. Yeah. And

00:54:39.889 --> 00:54:44.110
no Deep Tracks. No. None of those anymore. Nope.

00:54:44.329 --> 00:54:48.650
No. The next one is kind of out of nowhere. Are

00:54:48.650 --> 00:54:52.389
Americans too busy? Yeah. Yeah, because they're

00:54:52.389 --> 00:54:55.010
not willing to stand up for their rights. And,

00:54:55.050 --> 00:54:56.769
you know, it's intentional. We're being kept

00:54:56.769 --> 00:54:59.030
busy and distracted, so we don't have time to

00:54:59.030 --> 00:55:01.070
think about what's really happening to us and

00:55:01.070 --> 00:55:03.329
how much everything is really costing us. Yeah.

00:55:03.949 --> 00:55:06.170
And, you know, if you keep people occupied and

00:55:06.170 --> 00:55:09.469
busy, their brains scattered. They can't. They

00:55:09.469 --> 00:55:10.989
can't figure that stuff out, and they certainly

00:55:10.989 --> 00:55:12.789
can't organize to do anything about it. Hell

00:55:12.789 --> 00:55:18.050
no. No. That's out. That's gone. They keep talking

00:55:18.050 --> 00:55:19.909
about all these rights we have as Americans.

00:55:20.110 --> 00:55:22.909
We keep giving them up for the sake of convenience

00:55:22.909 --> 00:55:26.969
and immediate pleasure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep.

00:55:28.409 --> 00:55:34.789
So, all right. The constant distractions being

00:55:34.789 --> 00:55:37.809
the norm, will there ever be another quiet generation?

00:55:39.279 --> 00:55:43.019
No, I don't think so. Oh, neither. No. I think

00:55:43.019 --> 00:55:44.900
every generation is going to be in your face

00:55:44.900 --> 00:55:47.300
loud, and they have rights, and they're going

00:55:47.300 --> 00:55:49.119
to express it to everybody, and it's going to

00:55:49.119 --> 00:55:53.920
be on the Internet. Yeah. Yeah, we are all encouraged

00:55:53.920 --> 00:56:02.179
to do things that are selfish and rude and to

00:56:02.179 --> 00:56:05.829
tell ourselves this is what we deserve. Yeah.

00:56:05.829 --> 00:56:09.170
I've heard probably 30 years of commercials trying

00:56:09.170 --> 00:56:11.610
to tell me what I deserve. Remember McDonald's,

00:56:11.670 --> 00:56:15.050
you deserve a break today. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:56:15.230 --> 00:56:17.769
So commercials have been telling us for decades

00:56:17.769 --> 00:56:21.070
what we deserve. And we all started to believe

00:56:21.070 --> 00:56:24.289
it. We all became entitled assholes. Yeah. Oh,

00:56:24.309 --> 00:56:26.409
look, we deserve this. I deserve to have this

00:56:26.409 --> 00:56:29.289
right away. Yeah, that's so true. Okay. How about

00:56:29.289 --> 00:56:33.269
working for it? Oh, hell no. I just want it.

00:56:33.289 --> 00:56:37.059
Give it. That's a great way of putting it, actually.

00:56:37.099 --> 00:56:39.340
They're teaching us all to be spoiled, demanding

00:56:39.340 --> 00:56:42.280
brats, and then somebody will come along and

00:56:42.280 --> 00:56:45.659
give us what we want as long as we give up the

00:56:45.659 --> 00:56:48.079
right thing. You're right. And for the most part,

00:56:48.119 --> 00:56:50.400
what they want us to give up is any kind of self

00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:53.480
-determination or even paying attention to what's

00:56:53.480 --> 00:56:56.539
going on around us. Yep. Live your life, earn

00:56:56.539 --> 00:56:59.099
a shit ton of money, spend every penny, die broke.

00:56:59.380 --> 00:57:01.420
Yeah. That's it. That's their message. Yeah.

00:57:02.349 --> 00:57:05.050
All right. And then finally, ever since Gen X,

00:57:05.110 --> 00:57:07.550
the generations have been more open and nothing

00:57:07.550 --> 00:57:10.389
is sacred. And this kind of goes along what we're

00:57:10.389 --> 00:57:13.070
just saying. Do you see the progression or will

00:57:13.070 --> 00:57:15.889
it hit a wall? I think it'll eventually hit a

00:57:15.889 --> 00:57:18.650
wall. I do too. Just like there's some things

00:57:18.650 --> 00:57:22.769
that nobody can be forgiven for doing. Now, the

00:57:22.769 --> 00:57:24.829
things that you can be forgiven for is getting

00:57:24.829 --> 00:57:27.210
bigger and bigger and bigger. I mean, it used

00:57:27.210 --> 00:57:29.969
to be if you got a divorce, that would kill your

00:57:29.969 --> 00:57:32.610
career in business. Like, oh, he got a divorce.

00:57:32.750 --> 00:57:35.190
What a scumbag human he is. That's a good point,

00:57:35.250 --> 00:57:38.349
yeah. That used to be like a no -no. Or like

00:57:38.349 --> 00:57:42.590
a Protestant married to an Irish Catholic. That

00:57:42.590 --> 00:57:45.250
was a mixed marriage in a lot of people's minds.

00:57:45.630 --> 00:57:47.389
Yeah, people were frowning on it. Oh, man, I

00:57:47.389 --> 00:57:50.349
don't know if they went too far. You can't mix

00:57:50.349 --> 00:57:54.210
those two. I mean, tons of stuff like that is

00:57:54.210 --> 00:57:59.630
no big deal as far as sexual preference. That's

00:57:59.630 --> 00:58:02.010
getting to the point where nobody gives a damn.

00:58:02.250 --> 00:58:05.849
For a while it was, we all want to know. But

00:58:05.849 --> 00:58:08.650
now it's like, why are you telling me? I don't

00:58:08.650 --> 00:58:12.610
care. If someone tells me, it's got nothing to

00:58:12.610 --> 00:58:14.610
do with nothing. But most people, I find out

00:58:14.610 --> 00:58:16.389
if they're gay or something way after the fact.

00:58:16.670 --> 00:58:19.590
Unless they're obviously... Because I work with

00:58:19.590 --> 00:58:21.789
a guy. I would have never guessed it just walking

00:58:21.789 --> 00:58:24.849
up and talking to him. Because it really doesn't

00:58:24.849 --> 00:58:26.889
matter. It doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter.

00:58:27.150 --> 00:58:29.760
Nope. And then when he told me, yeah, my boyfriend,

00:58:29.880 --> 00:58:32.659
I'm just like, oh, okay. It wasn't anything different.

00:58:32.780 --> 00:58:35.500
So all of this stuff, you know, the Protestant

00:58:35.500 --> 00:58:39.619
and the Catholic and all that, it seems like

00:58:39.619 --> 00:58:42.340
once they figure out, like, it's no big deal,

00:58:42.519 --> 00:58:46.719
humanity moves on. Yeah, but there's some things

00:58:46.719 --> 00:58:50.260
that are still... Some things that are out of

00:58:50.260 --> 00:58:53.679
touch. Yeah, a little too far outside the normal

00:58:53.679 --> 00:58:57.699
to be accepted. Yes. Let's hope nobody ever gets

00:58:57.699 --> 00:59:00.639
any kind of tolerance for pedophilia. Let's hope

00:59:00.639 --> 00:59:03.400
nobody ever gets any kind of tolerance for rapists.

00:59:03.400 --> 00:59:05.559
Yeah, they're trying to normalize a lot of that

00:59:05.559 --> 00:59:08.739
stuff, and it's just fucked up. Because, yeah,

00:59:08.780 --> 00:59:10.960
they're trying to flood the market with all this

00:59:10.960 --> 00:59:14.400
stuff. And when actually, no, it's wrong, and

00:59:14.400 --> 00:59:16.900
people don't believe in it, but they're trying

00:59:16.900 --> 00:59:20.239
to make it seem like no big deal. In fact, Meta,

00:59:20.260 --> 00:59:22.599
which is what Facebook's parent company is, they

00:59:22.599 --> 00:59:29.059
just lost a $375 million settlement because they

00:59:29.059 --> 00:59:31.900
were doing things to endanger children. Yeah,

00:59:31.940 --> 00:59:35.340
they knew it. They knew it. They defended vigorously

00:59:35.340 --> 00:59:37.019
against it. They say they're going to appeal

00:59:37.019 --> 00:59:41.119
because they want to keep doing it. Yeah. And

00:59:41.119 --> 00:59:43.219
that was the trial where Zuckerberg and his lawyer

00:59:43.219 --> 00:59:45.599
walked in wearing their AI glasses to try to

00:59:45.599 --> 00:59:46.619
intimidate the judge. Yeah, they thought they

00:59:46.619 --> 00:59:48.500
were going to intimidate the judge. And the judge

00:59:48.500 --> 00:59:51.460
says, take those off your face or you'll spend

00:59:51.460 --> 00:59:54.360
the night in jail. Speaking of judges, on the

00:59:54.360 --> 00:59:56.780
last Douchebag program that we did Wednesday

00:59:56.780 --> 01:00:00.440
night, there is a new segment on it. Well, yeah,

01:00:00.619 --> 01:00:03.519
it is a new segment. It's Buford T. Rasputin.

01:00:03.539 --> 01:00:08.050
He is a common sense concierge. And he had to

01:00:08.050 --> 01:00:09.829
take that job because none of us fit the bill.

01:00:09.969 --> 01:00:13.610
Yeah. So, yeah. But he has a new adopted judge

01:00:13.610 --> 01:00:16.309
program. Oh, cool. That's very interesting, yes.

01:00:16.469 --> 01:00:19.869
Yeah, so I encourage everybody to listen to Buford.

01:00:19.889 --> 01:00:22.710
He is the common sense concierge. Yeah. Yeah.

01:00:27.710 --> 01:00:29.650
Anyhow, okay, that's all of the bullet points

01:00:29.650 --> 01:00:31.090
I had. You got something you want to go into?

01:00:31.090 --> 01:00:33.449
I've got one last bullet point to add in. Oh,

01:00:33.449 --> 01:00:36.289
okay. Of all the quarterbacks currently playing

01:00:36.289 --> 01:00:39.449
in the league now, which ones would you really

01:00:39.449 --> 01:00:43.369
like to see win a Super Bowl or at least get

01:00:43.369 --> 01:00:46.590
into a Super Bowl before they retire? Lamar Jackson.

01:00:46.969 --> 01:00:49.690
Yeah, Lamar Jackson definitely. And this doesn't

01:00:49.690 --> 01:00:51.269
have to be with their present team. They could

01:00:51.269 --> 01:00:53.130
move around, whatever. I think Lamar Jackson

01:00:53.130 --> 01:00:56.190
would probably have a greater chance off of the

01:00:56.190 --> 01:00:58.309
Ravens than he does on. I do too. Because they've

01:00:58.309 --> 01:01:01.409
shown that they don't know how to use what talent

01:01:01.409 --> 01:01:04.110
he has. get them over the edge. Maybe another

01:01:04.110 --> 01:01:07.010
team will be better able to do that. Yeah, maybe

01:01:07.010 --> 01:01:08.809
so. I don't think there's a damn thing wrong

01:01:08.809 --> 01:01:11.050
with Lamar Jackson. I really don't. No, no, it's

01:01:11.050 --> 01:01:15.150
not him. It's not him. How about Brock Purdy?

01:01:17.489 --> 01:01:20.429
Yeah, I'd like to see him get a Super Bowl. Just

01:01:20.429 --> 01:01:25.050
because he was pretty much irrelevant as Lowe's

01:01:25.050 --> 01:01:27.010
where he was drafted. It'd be fun to see him

01:01:27.010 --> 01:01:31.280
get it. It's another Tom Brady story. I can't

01:01:31.280 --> 01:01:34.019
say Josh Allen because I really kind of don't

01:01:34.019 --> 01:01:36.300
care about him anymore. He's had plenty of opportunities,

01:01:36.400 --> 01:01:39.179
and he hasn't been able to get it done, and it's

01:01:39.179 --> 01:01:40.300
been kind of on him. He's done it to himself,

01:01:40.380 --> 01:01:44.179
honestly, so much to where I just don't care

01:01:44.179 --> 01:01:47.260
if he wins anymore or not. I'd like to see Baker

01:01:47.260 --> 01:01:49.679
Mayfield get a Super Bowl. That's a good one.

01:01:49.699 --> 01:01:52.659
Actually, I put Baker Mayfield ahead of Brock

01:01:52.659 --> 01:01:55.679
Purdy. I would love to see Baker Mayfield get

01:01:55.679 --> 01:01:59.380
it. I'd love to see him as a backup for the Chiefs.

01:01:59.400 --> 01:02:01.880
Yeah, yeah, yeah. In a couple years, maybe he

01:02:01.880 --> 01:02:06.639
can. Yeah, yeah. Him and Mahomes, the famous

01:02:06.639 --> 01:02:13.679
battle royales. In college, of course. Let's

01:02:13.679 --> 01:02:18.139
see. Trevor Lawrence, I really don't care. C

01:02:18.139 --> 01:02:21.300
.J. Stroud, I would like C .J. Stroud, Caleb

01:02:21.300 --> 01:02:23.099
Williams, and the guy from Washington. C .J.

01:02:23.360 --> 01:02:29.889
Stroud, yeah. Oh, Jaden Daniels. Yes. Those three

01:02:29.889 --> 01:02:34.070
I would like to see live up to the potential

01:02:34.070 --> 01:02:36.889
that everyone believed they had and just really

01:02:36.889 --> 01:02:39.829
have a great run. That would be awesome if those

01:02:39.829 --> 01:02:42.809
three quarterbacks start being the three that

01:02:42.809 --> 01:02:44.889
are fighting each other. That would be good,

01:02:44.889 --> 01:02:49.329
wouldn't it? Yeah. Because right now we've got

01:02:49.329 --> 01:02:55.730
Mahomes, Burrow, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson. That's

01:02:55.730 --> 01:02:58.280
kind of it. And Joe Burrow, I don't give a shit

01:02:58.280 --> 01:03:01.579
anymore either. I wouldn't mind, but on the other

01:03:01.579 --> 01:03:04.420
hand... I wouldn't be pissed or nothing or...

01:03:05.299 --> 01:03:06.940
I'd be like, all right, good. Well, I'm glad

01:03:06.940 --> 01:03:09.119
he got one. Yeah, I'd be more likely to root

01:03:09.119 --> 01:03:11.800
for him if he was off the Bengals. Me too. Me

01:03:11.800 --> 01:03:14.139
too. That's it right there. If he was on a different

01:03:14.139 --> 01:03:16.619
team, I'd really like him a lot more. Yeah, and

01:03:16.619 --> 01:03:19.059
I like the Bengals. I always have liked the Bengals.

01:03:19.079 --> 01:03:20.920
It's just they piss me off the way they run their

01:03:20.920 --> 01:03:23.619
franchise. Me too. They waste so many opportunities.

01:03:23.760 --> 01:03:27.260
They waste so many good players. kind of pisses

01:03:27.260 --> 01:03:29.260
me off. That's why I wouldn't mind him winning

01:03:29.260 --> 01:03:32.500
a Super Bowl somewhere else besides with Cincinnati

01:03:32.500 --> 01:03:35.159
is because of the way they run their operation

01:03:35.159 --> 01:03:37.500
and how they shoot themselves in the foot constantly.

01:03:37.639 --> 01:03:39.699
Yeah. And I don't feel that Burrow deserves that.

01:03:40.139 --> 01:03:43.519
No. Burrow has definitely done everything asked

01:03:43.519 --> 01:03:48.150
of him. He's kept a pretty decent attitude. You

01:03:48.150 --> 01:03:49.809
know, he's had some times where he's said some

01:03:49.809 --> 01:03:52.010
things, but he could have gone off a lot more

01:03:52.010 --> 01:03:53.329
than that. He could have went off a lot more.

01:03:53.489 --> 01:03:56.610
He's definitely shown restraint. Yeah. At the

01:03:56.610 --> 01:03:58.510
time, I was down on him, but then the more we

01:03:58.510 --> 01:04:00.530
go on and the more I examine how the Bengals

01:04:00.530 --> 01:04:04.730
do stuff, I get it now. See, we were reading

01:04:04.730 --> 01:04:07.949
and paying attention to the spin that the Bengals

01:04:07.949 --> 01:04:09.869
organization were putting out on Burr because

01:04:09.869 --> 01:04:12.090
they were trying to make him look like a spoiled

01:04:12.090 --> 01:04:14.570
brat so he would side with the organization over

01:04:14.570 --> 01:04:17.099
him. But then we started looking at what was

01:04:17.099 --> 01:04:22.940
really going on. Apologies to Joe Burrow. You've

01:04:22.940 --> 01:04:26.460
never been anything less than everything they

01:04:26.460 --> 01:04:28.099
wanted you to be and they just don't know how

01:04:28.099 --> 01:04:30.400
to use you correctly. Do yourself a favor, Joe.

01:04:30.719 --> 01:04:33.099
Get off of that team. And don't go to Dallas.

01:04:34.860 --> 01:04:44.869
Or the Raiders. I saw a really interesting movie

01:04:44.869 --> 01:04:47.070
the other day. I just got to tell you about this.

01:04:47.250 --> 01:04:49.389
Okay. I thought it was going to be a comedy.

01:04:49.650 --> 01:04:52.670
The movie was called The Man Who Assassinated

01:04:52.670 --> 01:04:56.070
Hitler and The Bigfoot. Sounds like it'd be a

01:04:56.070 --> 01:04:58.949
comedy. Yeah, it was an adventure drama starring

01:04:58.949 --> 01:05:03.030
Sam Elliott, of all people. And it was played

01:05:03.030 --> 01:05:08.289
completely straight. First clue was it was written,

01:05:08.349 --> 01:05:10.590
produced, and directed all by the same guy. I

01:05:10.590 --> 01:05:13.050
don't recognize this name. By the way, Buford

01:05:13.050 --> 01:05:15.710
T. Rasputin, the common sense concierge, has

01:05:15.710 --> 01:05:18.289
tailored himself after Sam Elliott. Oh, nice.

01:05:18.369 --> 01:05:23.969
Yeah, you'll hear it. Yeah. So the movie, I couldn't

01:05:23.969 --> 01:05:26.010
tell if they just really didn't know what they

01:05:26.010 --> 01:05:28.670
were doing or whether they just really weren't

01:05:28.670 --> 01:05:31.949
trying very hard, but it was very unevenly paced.

01:05:32.849 --> 01:05:39.019
The photography was... They would spend way too

01:05:39.019 --> 01:05:42.800
long on something that just didn't matter. We

01:05:42.800 --> 01:05:46.559
had about 10 minutes of some guy on his way to

01:05:46.559 --> 01:05:48.599
assassinate Hitler. He goes to this farmhouse

01:05:48.599 --> 01:05:51.599
and gets a German shepherd from some kid. You

01:05:51.599 --> 01:05:53.099
know, it's the kid's own pet dog. I love it.

01:05:53.099 --> 01:05:54.960
It's a German shepherd. And he has to give it

01:05:54.960 --> 01:05:57.139
to him. So he's there, like, dressed in a Nazi

01:05:57.139 --> 01:05:59.539
uniform to infiltrate the bunker to shoot Hitler.

01:06:00.300 --> 01:06:02.940
And you see about ten minutes of him traveling

01:06:02.940 --> 01:06:06.739
by truck and by bus and by train just with this

01:06:06.739 --> 01:06:09.079
dog and going all over the place and walking.

01:06:09.500 --> 01:06:11.739
And he finally gets where he's going and he ties

01:06:11.739 --> 01:06:14.400
the dog to a tree and walks away. And you never

01:06:14.400 --> 01:06:17.059
see the dog again. Wow. What the hell was the

01:06:17.059 --> 01:06:20.320
point of the dog? So this was a very cheaply

01:06:20.320 --> 01:06:23.340
made movie. Apparently so. And Sam Elliott obviously

01:06:23.340 --> 01:06:27.260
needed money. I think he did. But the plot line

01:06:27.260 --> 01:06:30.599
is during World War II, Sam Elliott was the guy

01:06:30.599 --> 01:06:33.179
who assassinated Hitler, but the Germans covered

01:06:33.179 --> 01:06:36.840
it up and just put in a body double. Which is

01:06:36.840 --> 01:06:39.139
probably true. Which is probably true. And then

01:06:39.139 --> 01:06:42.659
they needed him to come out of retirement and

01:06:42.659 --> 01:06:45.980
go kill Bigfoot because Bigfoot was carrying

01:06:45.980 --> 01:06:48.900
the Nightmare Plague, which was the source of

01:06:48.900 --> 01:06:53.340
SARS and COVID and swine flu. When did this come

01:06:53.340 --> 01:06:57.219
out? Six years ago. No, eight years ago, 2018.

01:06:57.760 --> 01:07:01.340
Okay. So he had to go north into Canada where

01:07:01.340 --> 01:07:04.280
they had Bigfoot trapped in this big ring of

01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:06.739
fire, and he had to go in on foot with a rifle

01:07:06.739 --> 01:07:09.880
and kill Bigfoot before he spread his diseases

01:07:09.880 --> 01:07:13.000
across the whole world and everything died. Oh,

01:07:13.000 --> 01:07:15.219
no, that's funny. Oh, my gosh. And there's this

01:07:15.219 --> 01:07:18.019
big epic battle scene between him and Bigfoot.

01:07:18.059 --> 01:07:21.460
It's just... I've got to see this. You know,

01:07:21.480 --> 01:07:25.320
my favorite... My favorite... portrayed or whatever

01:07:25.320 --> 01:07:31.280
is the family guy where his mustache just starts

01:07:31.280 --> 01:07:38.239
talking on its own takes off but there's so many

01:07:38.239 --> 01:07:40.800
cliche elements in the in the movie like there's

01:07:40.800 --> 01:07:43.889
the big scene where young punks try to ambush

01:07:43.889 --> 01:07:46.369
him and even though he's like 900 years old,

01:07:46.449 --> 01:07:50.690
he wins. Secret government organizations. It's

01:07:50.690 --> 01:07:53.269
just like every stupid cliche was worked into

01:07:53.269 --> 01:07:56.349
it. It started getting so funny because it was

01:07:56.349 --> 01:07:59.289
so bad. And the problem is it wasn't meant to

01:07:59.289 --> 01:08:01.670
be in comedy. No, it wasn't. And it was weird.

01:08:02.090 --> 01:08:05.469
My wife and I watched it together and we sat

01:08:05.469 --> 01:08:08.250
there and at one point we said, This movie's

01:08:08.250 --> 01:08:10.369
only an hour and 38 minutes long, but it feels

01:08:10.369 --> 01:08:12.110
like we've been already watching two freaking

01:08:12.110 --> 01:08:15.989
hours. This just takes forever. It was about

01:08:15.989 --> 01:08:18.409
the longest, most boring hour and 38 minutes

01:08:18.409 --> 01:08:20.689
I've ever spent. But looking back, it was pretty

01:08:20.689 --> 01:08:25.350
funny. Is it kind of like Napoleon Dynamite where

01:08:25.350 --> 01:08:29.210
it's so horrible you can't turn it off? Well,

01:08:29.229 --> 01:08:30.869
at least in Napoleon Dynamite they were trying

01:08:30.869 --> 01:08:34.319
to be funny. Yeah, that's true. they're not trying

01:08:34.319 --> 01:08:36.800
at all to be funny. They're trying to be completely

01:08:36.800 --> 01:08:39.520
serious and really draw you in, and it's just

01:08:39.520 --> 01:08:42.520
failing so miserably. I mean, the acting performances

01:08:42.520 --> 01:08:46.439
were crap. Sam Elliott is a good actor, but the

01:08:46.439 --> 01:08:49.140
director didn't get anything out of him. He got

01:08:49.140 --> 01:08:55.560
a half -assed take and said, good enough. Anyway,

01:08:56.260 --> 01:08:58.140
if you've got two hours to kill, the man who

01:08:58.140 --> 01:09:01.850
killed Hitler and the Bigfoot. I would recommend

01:09:01.850 --> 01:09:05.149
that's get drunk or high or something. Invite

01:09:05.149 --> 01:09:06.989
a bunch of people over and laugh your asses off.

01:09:07.069 --> 01:09:14.050
It's pretty fun. Okay. So I got some things if

01:09:14.050 --> 01:09:19.630
you want me to do some stuff. I've got a few

01:09:19.630 --> 01:09:22.050
more from my list of really weird products. And

01:09:22.050 --> 01:09:23.609
you kind of think, what the hell were they thinking?

01:09:23.890 --> 01:09:26.689
Okay. You're familiar with a Keurig coffee making

01:09:26.689 --> 01:09:29.729
machine? Yeah. Oh, yeah. They had a soda -making

01:09:29.729 --> 01:09:33.850
machine, too. They called Keurig Cold, with a

01:09:33.850 --> 01:09:37.470
K. I actually, I remember that. Yeah. I do remember

01:09:37.470 --> 01:09:40.770
that, okay. Now, you had to buy these soda pods

01:09:40.770 --> 01:09:44.630
that were large and a lot of plastic, so it was

01:09:44.630 --> 01:09:47.770
a recycling nightmare. They were two bucks each.

01:09:49.210 --> 01:09:53.770
And it made a pretty small serving size, like

01:09:53.770 --> 01:09:58.560
this 12 -ounce cup here. Maybe you'd get... most

01:09:58.560 --> 01:10:00.239
of the way filled it threw a bunch of ice in.

01:10:01.460 --> 01:10:03.619
So it was a pretty small serving size for two

01:10:03.619 --> 01:10:07.260
bucks. At the time the machine cost about 300

01:10:07.260 --> 01:10:12.279
bucks. It took up a lot of counter space because

01:10:12.279 --> 01:10:16.520
it was huge and it was incredibly loud. And really

01:10:16.520 --> 01:10:19.220
the only benefit to it was you could keep a bunch

01:10:19.220 --> 01:10:21.439
of the pods on hand and if you really wanted

01:10:21.439 --> 01:10:24.399
like one serving of a specific soda you could

01:10:24.399 --> 01:10:26.779
get the pod out and make that for yourself. But

01:10:26.779 --> 01:10:29.939
apart from that, it was utterly useless. And,

01:10:30.079 --> 01:10:34.260
of course, it failed very quickly. If they introduced

01:10:34.260 --> 01:10:36.119
it now, what they would do would be the pods

01:10:36.119 --> 01:10:38.720
would be a subscription service that every month

01:10:38.720 --> 01:10:43.539
you would get a box of them. The next one I have

01:10:43.539 --> 01:10:48.279
is, remember mobile ESPN? This was a streaming

01:10:48.279 --> 01:10:53.789
service slash phone plan. where instead of streaming

01:10:53.789 --> 01:10:56.310
ESPN on your regular phone, which everyone could

01:10:56.310 --> 01:10:58.710
do at the time, they said, oh no, get our special

01:10:58.710 --> 01:11:01.649
phone. And your phone plan and your ESPN streaming

01:11:01.649 --> 01:11:06.189
service are all rolled into one. And supposedly

01:11:06.189 --> 01:11:09.869
it was supposed to make things better, but you

01:11:09.869 --> 01:11:13.029
had to pay an extra $400 for this extra phone,

01:11:13.130 --> 01:11:17.409
and then you had to pay $40 a month for the subscription.

01:11:19.119 --> 01:11:21.479
And you basically get everything you had before,

01:11:21.560 --> 01:11:23.800
except now you've got an ESPN -branded phone.

01:11:24.340 --> 01:11:27.079
There was actually zero benefit to the customer

01:11:27.079 --> 01:11:31.260
to do it. Just none. Of course, that failed pretty

01:11:31.260 --> 01:11:35.079
quickly. But ESPN bought about 100 ,000 of these

01:11:35.079 --> 01:11:37.000
really crappy phones that they couldn't sell.

01:11:37.399 --> 01:11:39.939
Next week, my schedule's the same. It's the following

01:11:39.939 --> 01:11:41.939
week that I told you about. I just remembered

01:11:41.939 --> 01:11:43.899
something. I'll take a look at it. All right.

01:11:45.060 --> 01:11:49.720
And then there was the Apple Lisa computer. This

01:11:49.720 --> 01:11:52.020
was supposed to be a high -end business machine.

01:11:52.159 --> 01:11:55.640
It was aimed at the upper executives, chairman

01:11:55.640 --> 01:11:58.640
of the board, president, whatever. It used a

01:11:58.640 --> 01:12:00.960
graphic interface, which is fairly new. It was

01:12:00.960 --> 01:12:03.380
back when Windows was kind of becoming a thing,

01:12:03.500 --> 01:12:06.079
and everyone wanted a graphic interface. But

01:12:06.079 --> 01:12:11.819
even in 1983, this computer cost $10 ,000. Wow.

01:12:12.180 --> 01:12:17.949
Yeah. What is that? 40 years ago, $10 ,000 was

01:12:17.949 --> 01:12:20.029
a whole lot more than it is today. No one would

01:12:20.029 --> 01:12:23.130
spend $10 ,000 on a computer now. No, gosh no,

01:12:23.229 --> 01:12:27.090
but back then it was even worse. And for a $10

01:12:27.090 --> 01:12:30.789
,000 high -end business machine, it had tons

01:12:30.789 --> 01:12:33.710
of performance issues. It was constantly crashing,

01:12:34.069 --> 01:12:39.689
blank screens, garbled screens, and Apple, true

01:12:39.689 --> 01:12:43.130
to their usual form, provided very little software

01:12:43.130 --> 01:12:45.880
for it. So you spend all that money on a business

01:12:45.880 --> 01:12:48.899
machine, and it really can't help run your business

01:12:48.899 --> 01:12:51.840
because there's no software. Wow. So they had

01:12:51.840 --> 01:12:54.500
to rely on other developers to make the software.

01:12:54.659 --> 01:12:57.500
The whole thing just fell again. It was like

01:12:57.500 --> 01:12:59.979
the Apple III all over again. Oh, gosh. Yeah.

01:13:01.100 --> 01:13:04.180
And the last one I have is for Bazaar products.

01:13:04.239 --> 01:13:08.779
Remember the Philips CDI format? Yeah. This was

01:13:08.779 --> 01:13:13.000
supposed to be an all -in -one home media entertainment.

01:13:14.970 --> 01:13:19.270
It was very expensive. It was incompatible with

01:13:19.270 --> 01:13:23.750
regular CD formats. So it required the CDI format,

01:13:23.970 --> 01:13:26.689
required other companies to make their stuff

01:13:26.689 --> 01:13:30.149
in the CDI format, which nobody was interested

01:13:30.149 --> 01:13:33.649
in doing. It needed an extra cartridge add -on

01:13:33.649 --> 01:13:38.949
just to play movies. Oh, wow. All of the tech

01:13:38.949 --> 01:13:42.930
involved was outdated on release. it was already

01:13:42.930 --> 01:13:46.510
superseded by other things. Oh, yeah. Desktop

01:13:46.510 --> 01:13:49.789
PCs did everything it did and did it better and

01:13:49.789 --> 01:13:52.630
did it cheaper. Yeah, there's absolutely no reason

01:13:52.630 --> 01:13:55.750
to get it. I remember looking for a CD player,

01:13:55.869 --> 01:13:58.710
and the guy at the store, I think, was Silo.

01:13:58.710 --> 01:14:02.520
Remember those? They sold electronics. He was

01:14:02.520 --> 01:14:05.439
really pushing the CDI format. And he kept telling

01:14:05.439 --> 01:14:07.579
me, oh, yeah, get this. And then you can get

01:14:07.579 --> 01:14:11.060
all these CDI discs and do this. And I kept asking,

01:14:11.199 --> 01:14:13.560
is this compatible with everything else? Well,

01:14:13.739 --> 01:14:16.140
you know, everything's available on CDIs. Like,

01:14:16.159 --> 01:14:18.520
he wouldn't really answer my question. Yeah,

01:14:18.579 --> 01:14:20.619
that's not answering whether it's compatible

01:14:20.619 --> 01:14:22.819
or not. But I'm sure he was under pressure to

01:14:22.819 --> 01:14:24.560
sell a bunch of those. I'm sure he was because

01:14:24.560 --> 01:14:27.619
they bought them and, yeah, they needed to sell

01:14:27.619 --> 01:14:32.029
them. But eventually when the CDI format failed

01:14:32.029 --> 01:14:34.189
and everyone had these players and there was

01:14:34.189 --> 01:14:36.890
nothing to play on them anymore, they got together

01:14:36.890 --> 01:14:39.210
a class action lawsuit, and I think they got

01:14:39.210 --> 01:14:43.010
money back from the Phillips Corporation to help

01:14:43.010 --> 01:14:45.569
offset the cost of these useless machines everyone

01:14:45.569 --> 01:14:48.770
had now. That's funny. So they admitted they

01:14:48.770 --> 01:14:52.069
got duped. They're like, oh, yeah, we were wrong.

01:14:52.329 --> 01:14:56.659
So Phillips tried it. It didn't work. If I got

01:14:56.659 --> 01:14:58.699
a little story here, I think it'd be pretty good.

01:14:58.840 --> 01:15:02.220
Yeah. Okay. A humanoid robot was detained by

01:15:02.220 --> 01:15:04.819
the cops after terrorizing an elderly woman on

01:15:04.819 --> 01:15:08.979
the street. Oh. Yeah. Creepy. Yep. A humanoid

01:15:08.979 --> 01:15:12.439
robot has been detained by the cops for terrorizing

01:15:12.439 --> 01:15:16.140
an elderly woman on a Chinese street. The surreal

01:15:16.140 --> 01:15:19.340
incident occurred last week in the city of Macaw.

01:15:19.560 --> 01:15:22.119
I believe is how you pronounce it. Just kind

01:15:22.119 --> 01:15:24.739
of like the bird. Yeah. With the startled 70

01:15:24.739 --> 01:15:28.149
-year -old Andy. ending up in the hospital following

01:15:28.149 --> 01:15:30.550
her encounter with a four -foot -four -inch robot.

01:15:32.109 --> 01:15:34.989
Not very big, but still can do a lot of damage.

01:15:34.989 --> 01:15:36.989
Hell, a goose can break your arm. Well, as I

01:15:36.989 --> 01:15:39.430
go on, it's more of the woman's problem, not

01:15:39.430 --> 01:15:41.369
really the robot, but there's a little bit more

01:15:41.369 --> 01:15:43.869
to it. You're making my heart race, the woman

01:15:43.869 --> 01:15:47.390
raised in Cantonese, per a report in the Macaw

01:15:47.390 --> 01:15:50.029
Post. You've got plenty to do, so what's the

01:15:50.029 --> 01:15:52.170
point of messing around with this? Are you freaking

01:15:52.170 --> 01:15:54.770
crazy? This is what the lady was telling the

01:15:54.770 --> 01:15:58.630
robot. Okay. I think I know who I think's crazy.

01:15:58.689 --> 01:16:01.789
Yeah. And it's not the robot. No. So, according

01:16:01.789 --> 01:16:03.869
to the publication, the woman was walking along

01:16:03.869 --> 01:16:06.529
the street looking for her cell phone when she

01:16:06.529 --> 01:16:09.149
realized something was following closely behind

01:16:09.149 --> 01:16:13.810
her. Okay. Startled, she turned around and she

01:16:13.810 --> 01:16:16.350
found the robot. Okay. In the video footage,

01:16:16.470 --> 01:16:19.130
the bot was seen raising both arms as he was

01:16:19.130 --> 01:16:23.329
scolded by the woman. So she scolded the robot.

01:16:23.800 --> 01:16:25.779
Okay. Or in his feelings, maybe. I don't know.

01:16:25.960 --> 01:16:28.899
Well, I mean, it's AI. It's just going to react.

01:16:29.159 --> 01:16:33.479
Yeah. So, the video subsequently shows two police

01:16:33.479 --> 01:16:36.340
officers taking the robot off of the street.

01:16:37.319 --> 01:16:42.680
I would have taken her off. I think so too. The

01:16:42.680 --> 01:16:47.659
Eastern Post reports that there was no physical

01:16:47.659 --> 01:16:49.939
contact between the woman and the robot. That's

01:16:49.939 --> 01:16:52.439
good. However, she was taken to the hospital

01:16:52.439 --> 01:16:55.939
where she was examined and released. The robot

01:16:55.939 --> 01:17:00.340
purportedly belongs to an education center in

01:17:00.340 --> 01:17:02.939
Central District and was conducting promotional

01:17:02.939 --> 01:17:06.829
activities in the area. The android was being

01:17:06.829 --> 01:17:10.609
operated remotely by a 50 -year -old man who

01:17:10.609 --> 01:17:13.949
told the police he was testing the robot to further

01:17:13.949 --> 01:17:17.729
improve its operation. He was subsequently warned

01:17:17.729 --> 01:17:20.350
by authorities to be more mindful of endangering

01:17:20.350 --> 01:17:22.369
or frightening pedestrians. Well, hell yeah,

01:17:22.409 --> 01:17:24.010
what gives him the right to go out and test his

01:17:24.010 --> 01:17:26.869
robot using us without our knowledge? What an

01:17:26.869 --> 01:17:31.510
asshole. He is an asshole, but the woman really

01:17:31.510 --> 01:17:35.060
overreacted to him. Footage of the incident went

01:17:35.060 --> 01:17:38.159
viral, prompting amusing responses from pundits,

01:17:38.180 --> 01:17:41.239
which I didn't include because who cares? How

01:17:41.239 --> 01:17:45.380
likely do you think it is that people have been

01:17:45.380 --> 01:17:48.760
seriously injured and or killed by these autonomous

01:17:48.760 --> 01:17:51.739
robots and it's just been covered up? I would

01:17:51.739 --> 01:17:55.699
say a handful. Yeah, I think so too. Yeah, of

01:17:55.699 --> 01:17:58.460
course that number's going to grow. And there's

01:17:58.460 --> 01:18:00.300
going to be that one incident where, I don't

01:18:00.300 --> 01:18:02.640
know, a bot grabs a gun and just starts blowing

01:18:02.640 --> 01:18:04.479
people away or something. That's going to happen.

01:18:04.560 --> 01:18:08.979
We know this. I have seen video. It was a company,

01:18:09.239 --> 01:18:11.880
I believe, in China. And they had humanoid -looking

01:18:11.880 --> 01:18:16.100
robots hanging from these racks. And one of them

01:18:16.100 --> 01:18:18.220
started flipping out and going crazy. And all

01:18:18.220 --> 01:18:20.840
four of its limbs were flailing around like crazy.

01:18:20.840 --> 01:18:22.640
Oh, it would have killed somebody. Yeah, it came

01:18:22.640 --> 01:18:25.520
really close to cracking this guy's skull. And

01:18:25.520 --> 01:18:27.260
it was hitting other things and destroying things.

01:18:27.340 --> 01:18:28.960
If it had hit that guy's head, he would have

01:18:28.960 --> 01:18:31.880
been seriously injured. Yeah. And that's just

01:18:31.880 --> 01:18:33.899
the one that they let us see. Imagine all the

01:18:33.899 --> 01:18:35.960
ones that they won't let us see. And now I don't

01:18:35.960 --> 01:18:37.880
think you can find that footage. I don't think

01:18:37.880 --> 01:18:41.500
so. Yeah, they took it away. Speaking of footage,

01:18:41.739 --> 01:18:44.880
you remember the Roomba robot? Yes. The vacuum?

01:18:46.250 --> 01:18:50.409
Most of those models used actual cameras to navigate

01:18:50.409 --> 01:18:53.250
instead of LIDAR. All the ones now use LIDAR.

01:18:53.409 --> 01:18:57.890
But the Roomba ones used actual cameras. And

01:18:57.890 --> 01:19:01.810
there has been a report and a leaked photograph

01:19:01.810 --> 01:19:06.210
showing that the Roomba vacuum trundled into

01:19:06.210 --> 01:19:08.510
this woman's bathroom and took a picture of her

01:19:08.510 --> 01:19:13.189
sitting on the toilet. And sent it back to the

01:19:13.189 --> 01:19:16.529
parent company iRobot. And then it got passed

01:19:16.529 --> 01:19:20.109
around. Oh! Remember when Tesla was doing that

01:19:20.109 --> 01:19:22.050
with the internal cameras on cars? They were

01:19:22.050 --> 01:19:24.289
passing around videos of people having sex in

01:19:24.289 --> 01:19:28.520
their cars. The Roomba. Robot. A vacuum was doing

01:19:28.520 --> 01:19:30.819
the same thing. It was getting porno pictures

01:19:30.819 --> 01:19:32.840
because it was trundling around people's houses

01:19:32.840 --> 01:19:35.439
taking pictures everywhere. People don't think

01:19:35.439 --> 01:19:38.100
when they get products. They don't think. Let

01:19:38.100 --> 01:19:41.420
me invite this spy and parasite into my home

01:19:41.420 --> 01:19:43.600
and let it milk me for everything. But don't

01:19:43.600 --> 01:19:45.340
worry. They said they're not going to do that.

01:19:45.439 --> 01:19:47.399
Oh, yeah. It's like, remember when Apple promised

01:19:47.399 --> 01:19:49.539
they would never do anything like that? Yeah.

01:19:50.960 --> 01:19:53.140
How well did that turn out for them? Oh, and

01:19:53.140 --> 01:19:56.609
everyone in the Apple cult believed them. Oh,

01:19:56.609 --> 01:19:59.430
they wouldn't lie to us. No, it's Apple. Yeah.

01:20:01.850 --> 01:20:05.050
I've got something here. Okay. A judge shuts

01:20:05.050 --> 01:20:08.130
down Mark Gastineau's $25 million lawsuit against

01:20:08.130 --> 01:20:12.770
ESPN over Brett Favre drama. Were you aware of

01:20:12.770 --> 01:20:14.890
this? No, I didn't realize he was involved in

01:20:14.890 --> 01:20:17.369
any way. Yeah, well, it's really interesting

01:20:17.369 --> 01:20:21.210
of how he's involved. Okay. So, the former Jetstar

01:20:21.210 --> 01:20:24.470
pass rusher. had his lawsuit dismissed against

01:20:24.470 --> 01:20:27.970
ESPN over its presentation of him in a scene

01:20:27.970 --> 01:20:31.829
in the show 30 for 30. Oh, okay. All right. Any

01:20:31.829 --> 01:20:37.569
judge, a New York judge, not any. A New York

01:20:37.569 --> 01:20:40.369
judge. I was reading that like AI would. Yeah,

01:20:40.369 --> 01:20:44.880
I did. Well, I didn't have enough time to type

01:20:44.880 --> 01:20:47.279
this out, so to scribble, I saw this story and

01:20:47.279 --> 01:20:49.560
started writing it down. And so anyhow, the New

01:20:49.560 --> 01:20:52.439
York judge cited that Gastineau signed a contract

01:20:52.439 --> 01:20:58.460
that protected them from lawsuits, saying that

01:20:58.460 --> 01:21:00.659
they could go ahead with the content and show

01:21:00.659 --> 01:21:03.479
it. It's a problem. Gastineau confronted Brett

01:21:03.479 --> 01:21:06.699
Favre at the Chicago Sports Spectacular in 2023,

01:21:07.159 --> 01:21:10.199
in which he alleged that Favre did Michael Strahan

01:21:10.199 --> 01:21:13.649
a favor. by letting him sack him and get the

01:21:13.649 --> 01:21:15.829
single -season all -time record for sacks. I

01:21:15.829 --> 01:21:18.970
remember that. Yes. Everyone knew that Favre

01:21:18.970 --> 01:21:21.489
took a flop and let his buddy Strahan get the

01:21:21.489 --> 01:21:24.850
record. Yes, and it's pretty evident if you watch

01:21:24.850 --> 01:21:27.510
it. I mean, it really looks like he laid down.

01:21:27.510 --> 01:21:30.630
And they shared a grin afterwards. Yeah. Yeah,

01:21:30.710 --> 01:21:32.989
it's very obvious. And thankfully, Strahan has

01:21:32.989 --> 01:21:35.430
been surpassed since then, so his bullshit record

01:21:35.430 --> 01:21:37.729
is no longer standing. It's gone. Yes. He never

01:21:37.729 --> 01:21:39.569
deserved that record in the first place. I'm

01:21:39.569 --> 01:21:40.770
glad it's gone. So I guess Gastineau had the

01:21:40.770 --> 01:21:44.090
record before that? I think so. Prior to 1982,

01:21:44.430 --> 01:21:46.649
they didn't even count sacks. They didn't even

01:21:46.649 --> 01:21:48.029
talk about them, but they wouldn't count them.

01:21:48.170 --> 01:21:50.810
No. Well, they've got to find a better way to

01:21:50.810 --> 01:21:56.369
record pressures that lead to sacks. Yes. Because

01:21:56.369 --> 01:21:59.710
pressures are what really usually leads to sacks.

01:21:59.770 --> 01:22:01.670
They lead to a heck of a lot more interceptions,

01:22:01.689 --> 01:22:05.520
too. Yes, they do. Yes. Yep, you get a couple

01:22:05.520 --> 01:22:07.260
of big hands in your face while trying to throw

01:22:07.260 --> 01:22:09.220
that ball, and it's funny what you do. Yeah,

01:22:09.300 --> 01:22:11.939
you start seeing those in your sleep. Yeah. You

01:22:11.939 --> 01:22:15.920
see these giant fingers, and you think, Andre

01:22:15.920 --> 01:22:20.939
the Giant's going to check my oil. Yeah. Imagine

01:22:20.939 --> 01:22:24.199
that. Oh, God. You have no idea you got on his

01:22:24.199 --> 01:22:26.359
bad side, but you find out when he body slams

01:22:26.359 --> 01:22:34.539
you. Yes. Biggin' says hello, chomp. Yes. If

01:22:34.539 --> 01:22:36.260
you know, you know. If you know, you know. Yeah,

01:22:36.279 --> 01:22:40.300
that's right. Oh, Biggin'. Yep. Yep. Not making

01:22:40.300 --> 01:22:43.140
fun of you. You know, you're in the great beyond

01:22:43.140 --> 01:22:46.960
now. But, yeah, yeah. And if you don't know what

01:22:46.960 --> 01:22:48.920
we're talking about, I think I need to go find

01:22:48.920 --> 01:22:52.220
that episode. Yeah. Yeah. Or we'll just redo

01:22:52.220 --> 01:22:54.500
it. We'll redo it like we always do. This one.

01:22:54.699 --> 01:22:58.199
Yeah. What was the other one I got to redo? Oh,

01:22:58.399 --> 01:23:01.939
the Bluetooth story. Yes. Yeah. Yep. because

01:23:01.939 --> 01:23:05.920
I don't know where they're at. So, anyhow. Yeah,

01:23:06.020 --> 01:23:08.319
I need that one and that one in particular. Those

01:23:08.319 --> 01:23:10.340
are the ones that are most asked about because,

01:23:10.579 --> 01:23:13.479
you know, Babel Snatch and the mall and all that

01:23:13.479 --> 01:23:16.340
stuff we have and I periodically throw them in

01:23:16.340 --> 01:23:18.500
something. The Mad Shitter. The Mad Shitter,

01:23:18.579 --> 01:23:20.420
of course. You know, that's one of the most famous.

01:23:20.520 --> 01:23:24.100
Very popular. Yeah, very popular. All right.

01:23:26.100 --> 01:23:28.239
Remember a few weeks ago when I was mentioning

01:23:28.239 --> 01:23:30.640
that Nissan was in... financial trouble and they

01:23:30.640 --> 01:23:33.300
were looking for somebody to buy them and Honda

01:23:33.300 --> 01:23:36.399
said no thanks. Yeah. Well I've learned now why

01:23:36.399 --> 01:23:39.579
Honda said no thanks and why Nissan was looking

01:23:39.579 --> 01:23:41.840
to get them to buy because Honda's in big trouble

01:23:41.840 --> 01:23:46.199
too. Oh. They are in big trouble. So Nissan was

01:23:46.199 --> 01:23:48.319
thinking hey between the two of us we can cut

01:23:48.319 --> 01:23:51.979
the fat save the good stuff and reorganize. And

01:23:51.979 --> 01:23:54.300
Honda's basically saying no we think we've got

01:23:54.300 --> 01:23:58.989
a way out of this. We don't want you. But Let

01:23:58.989 --> 01:24:01.130
me read you what's going on here. Honda faces

01:24:01.130 --> 01:24:05.810
a potential $3 .6 billion to $4 .3 billion loss

01:24:05.810 --> 01:24:09.149
for the fiscal year. One year's loss. One year's

01:24:09.149 --> 01:24:13.069
loss. Wow. Yeah. A sharp reversal from previous

01:24:13.069 --> 01:24:15.729
expectations. So not only is it, like, huge,

01:24:15.750 --> 01:24:17.869
but they thought they were going to do better

01:24:17.869 --> 01:24:22.189
than this, a whole lot better. The problem was

01:24:22.189 --> 01:24:26.329
they made a disastrous bet on aggressive EV sales

01:24:26.329 --> 01:24:29.069
growth. electronic vehicle electric vehicles

01:24:29.069 --> 01:24:33.810
um they canceled key models like the honda o

01:24:33.810 --> 01:24:37.909
zero series and they had huge expenses trying

01:24:37.909 --> 01:24:40.810
to restructure and get all this electric vehicle

01:24:40.810 --> 01:24:45.850
stuff going One of their biggest markets was

01:24:45.850 --> 01:24:48.449
China. They were betting everything on really

01:24:48.449 --> 01:24:51.050
breaking into China. In the EV market? In the

01:24:51.050 --> 01:24:53.270
electric vehicle market. But China's kicking

01:24:53.270 --> 01:24:57.949
their ass. The last 24 consecutive months, sales

01:24:57.949 --> 01:25:01.050
in China have dropped every month for Honda.

01:25:01.890 --> 01:25:04.770
As well as mounting losses from its auto operations.

01:25:06.569 --> 01:25:10.189
Operating profit for the 2025 -26 period is projected

01:25:10.189 --> 01:25:15.770
to fall by over 50%. Wow. Yeah. Now, the recovery

01:25:15.770 --> 01:25:18.489
measures that they're trying to do is they're

01:25:18.489 --> 01:25:21.649
shifting its focus towards and relying on its

01:25:21.649 --> 01:25:24.729
profitable hybrid models. Now, Honda hybrid models

01:25:24.729 --> 01:25:27.270
sell really well. A lot of people like them.

01:25:27.329 --> 01:25:29.930
They're doing really well. But they were kicking

01:25:29.930 --> 01:25:32.649
those to the curb for the full electric. Now

01:25:32.649 --> 01:25:37.229
they've learned their lesson. But here's the

01:25:37.229 --> 01:25:40.710
fun part. is right now the only thing keeping

01:25:40.710 --> 01:25:43.409
Honda in business is their motorcycle division.

01:25:43.810 --> 01:25:48.029
Really? That's making a crap ton of money. And

01:25:48.029 --> 01:25:51.649
it's keeping the whole business afloat. Yeah.

01:25:52.329 --> 01:25:54.369
That's what Honda started with was motorcycles.

01:25:54.649 --> 01:25:58.010
Yeah, it is. So if it weren't for that, Honda

01:25:58.010 --> 01:26:00.989
would pretty much be in bankruptcy right now.

01:26:01.210 --> 01:26:04.270
Wow. So they better thank their lucky stars that

01:26:04.270 --> 01:26:05.890
they never got rid of their motorcycle division.

01:26:06.210 --> 01:26:09.159
Yeah. Well, that's interesting because Honda

01:26:09.159 --> 01:26:13.119
in the 80s and some of the 90s was like the brand

01:26:13.119 --> 01:26:15.539
people wanted to get. You know, that and Toyota.

01:26:15.859 --> 01:26:18.319
And they still make really good cars, really

01:26:18.319 --> 01:26:20.699
good quality, well -designed cars. It's just

01:26:20.699 --> 01:26:23.720
they blew so much operating capital on the wrong

01:26:23.720 --> 01:26:27.000
idea. Yeah. And it didn't pan out. Well, EVs

01:26:27.000 --> 01:26:28.920
is what's like taking a lot of companies down

01:26:28.920 --> 01:26:31.649
because people are like, oh, this is a... This

01:26:31.649 --> 01:26:34.569
is the future. And then the further they go on

01:26:34.569 --> 01:26:37.289
to realize that, no, it's not. No, it's not.

01:26:37.310 --> 01:26:40.310
No, it's not the best way to handle this crisis

01:26:40.310 --> 01:26:42.750
or whatever. Yeah. See, electric vehicles were

01:26:42.750 --> 01:26:44.649
never designed to save the planet. They were

01:26:44.649 --> 01:26:47.409
designed to save the car industry. Yes. and all

01:26:47.409 --> 01:26:50.750
its associated industries. But there's so many

01:26:50.750 --> 01:26:54.149
other better choices. There just are. One of

01:26:54.149 --> 01:26:57.489
which is not driving so much, which is an option

01:26:57.489 --> 01:26:59.930
everybody has. Everybody has, yeah. When you

01:26:59.930 --> 01:27:01.329
start complaining about that. Or public transit,

01:27:01.470 --> 01:27:09.390
if you will. It's interesting that I hope Honda

01:27:09.390 --> 01:27:12.529
does recover, and I hope they bring back some

01:27:12.529 --> 01:27:15.170
of the models that they killed. But it made me

01:27:15.170 --> 01:27:17.909
think of Jaguar. and the way they destroyed their

01:27:17.909 --> 01:27:21.170
company. Oh, gosh. When they canceled all their

01:27:21.170 --> 01:27:23.890
existing lines of cars and did the two -year

01:27:23.890 --> 01:27:26.130
shutdown before bringing out their all -electric

01:27:26.130 --> 01:27:30.630
vehicles, they had cars that were almost ready

01:27:30.630 --> 01:27:34.010
for production. They had spent all the money

01:27:34.010 --> 01:27:37.369
to develop the design, test it, do viability,

01:27:37.609 --> 01:27:39.970
get the safety testing done. It was pretty much

01:27:39.970 --> 01:27:43.810
ready to put into assembly line production. And

01:27:43.810 --> 01:27:45.590
it was time to make your money back on it, and

01:27:45.590 --> 01:27:48.590
Jaguar killed it. Oh, no, gas engine? Forget

01:27:48.590 --> 01:27:50.710
it. We're not gas anymore. We're all electric.

01:27:51.170 --> 01:27:54.270
They could not have fucked their business up

01:27:54.270 --> 01:27:58.909
any worse. And the Type 00 fully electric vehicle

01:27:58.909 --> 01:28:01.920
that they've been showing off. It's a concept

01:28:01.920 --> 01:28:05.220
car. It doesn't work. It can't work. It will

01:28:05.220 --> 01:28:07.720
not work as a production vehicle. So go ahead

01:28:07.720 --> 01:28:09.500
and look at it and say how pretty and cool it

01:28:09.500 --> 01:28:11.720
is, but you're never going to get to drive one.

01:28:12.100 --> 01:28:15.239
It's just a mock -up. There's absolutely no way

01:28:15.239 --> 01:28:18.880
that model would pass any safety standards or

01:28:18.880 --> 01:28:21.340
any kind of anything standards and become a production

01:28:21.340 --> 01:28:25.050
car. It's just there to tease you. So really,

01:28:25.149 --> 01:28:27.750
you have absolutely no idea what Jaguar has,

01:28:27.949 --> 01:28:29.649
what they're working on, what they might produce.

01:28:29.850 --> 01:28:32.289
It's just all according. They're probably going

01:28:32.289 --> 01:28:34.710
to go under because of this idiot that runs them.

01:28:34.810 --> 01:28:37.670
Yeah. Or did run them. Yeah, they fired him.

01:28:37.850 --> 01:28:40.069
And then they got a new guy. He's really trying

01:28:40.069 --> 01:28:43.729
to patch things up. He's got to bring it back.

01:28:44.130 --> 01:28:47.430
So far, they're not going back. I mean, the same

01:28:47.430 --> 01:28:51.010
company that owns Jaguar owns Land Rover. And

01:28:51.010 --> 01:28:54.600
Land Rover is still profitable. So the overall

01:28:54.600 --> 01:28:59.300
company, I mean, just Tata Motors. It's an Indian

01:28:59.300 --> 01:29:02.439
company. But they're letting this go on. It stands

01:29:02.439 --> 01:29:05.399
for boobie. Yes, it does. But it's so weird that

01:29:05.399 --> 01:29:07.920
the parent company isn't stepping in and starting

01:29:07.920 --> 01:29:10.420
to slap people's faces over Jaguar and saying,

01:29:10.539 --> 01:29:13.020
mind your manners, people. Let's go back to making

01:29:13.020 --> 01:29:17.619
money. It's just the weirdest thing. I don't

01:29:17.619 --> 01:29:19.840
know. I wish the show Top Gear were still going

01:29:19.840 --> 01:29:23.460
on because Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond

01:29:23.460 --> 01:29:26.460
and James May would have fun roasting Jaguar

01:29:26.460 --> 01:29:29.460
to pieces over this. Oh, gosh, yeah. Because

01:29:29.460 --> 01:29:32.720
Clarkson in particular was a big Jaguar fan.

01:29:32.920 --> 01:29:38.020
He really liked Jags. It's sad to see a once

01:29:38.020 --> 01:29:41.489
proud brand become... Just a joke. Oh, yeah.

01:29:41.590 --> 01:29:44.210
An utter joke. If I had one of the older Jags,

01:29:44.210 --> 01:29:45.909
I think I might be a little embarrassed to drive

01:29:45.909 --> 01:29:47.590
it around at this point. I think I would, too.

01:29:47.729 --> 01:29:49.869
Yeah. Like, nah, I don't want anything to do

01:29:49.869 --> 01:29:52.170
with that company. Yeah. I mean, imagine being

01:29:52.170 --> 01:29:54.529
so proud of your big Ford pickup and then the

01:29:54.529 --> 01:29:59.909
picture surfaces of Henry Ford in drag having

01:29:59.909 --> 01:30:03.350
sex with a statue. Wouldn't you be a little embarrassed

01:30:03.350 --> 01:30:12.859
to drive a Ford pickup truck? True. Yeah. I got

01:30:12.859 --> 01:30:14.239
something a little bit different, if you're done.

01:30:14.500 --> 01:30:17.100
That was it. Oh, okay. Well, as we all know,

01:30:17.159 --> 01:30:20.199
Chuck Norris passed away last week, which sucked,

01:30:20.359 --> 01:30:24.279
you know, because dude was very cool. Apparently,

01:30:24.300 --> 01:30:26.800
he had to go kick some ass in heaven. Yes, which

01:30:26.800 --> 01:30:30.220
he probably is right now. So, yeah, the reason

01:30:30.220 --> 01:30:32.439
it took him so long is he was negotiating the

01:30:32.439 --> 01:30:36.600
terms of, yeah, everything. So, yeah. All right.

01:30:37.310 --> 01:30:40.210
I've got some Chuck Norris facts. Okay. Okay.

01:30:40.529 --> 01:30:44.310
Chuck Norris doesn't do push -ups. He pushes

01:30:44.310 --> 01:30:51.729
the earth down. Yes. When Chuck Norris enters

01:30:51.729 --> 01:30:55.170
a room, he doesn't turn the lights on. He turns

01:30:55.170 --> 01:31:00.210
the dark off. Oh, yeah. I like that one. Def

01:31:00.210 --> 01:31:07.819
once had a near -Chuck experience. This one's

01:31:07.819 --> 01:31:10.819
one of my favorites. Chuck Norris once counted

01:31:10.819 --> 01:31:19.680
to infinity, then did it twice. Excellent. There's

01:31:19.680 --> 01:31:22.819
no theory of evolution, just a list of Chuck

01:31:22.819 --> 01:31:27.640
Norris allows to live. That's a good one. Oh,

01:31:27.640 --> 01:31:29.979
this next one I love. Chuck Norris can divide

01:31:29.979 --> 01:31:36.739
by zero. Oh, that is a good one. When the boogeyman

01:31:36.739 --> 01:31:39.039
goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet

01:31:39.039 --> 01:31:46.100
with Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris doesn't wear

01:31:46.100 --> 01:31:53.279
a watch. He decides what time it is. Chuck Norris

01:31:53.279 --> 01:31:56.159
beat the sun in a staring contest. Oh, that's

01:31:56.159 --> 01:32:00.840
a good one. Yeah, it is. This one. Chuck Norris

01:32:00.840 --> 01:32:06.130
can slam a revolving door. Wow, that is skill

01:32:06.130 --> 01:32:08.210
and that is a very good one. That's very good.

01:32:10.829 --> 01:32:19.069
Chuck Norris can hear sign language. Oh, that's

01:32:19.069 --> 01:32:22.010
awesome. Chuck Norris can unscramble an egg.

01:32:22.250 --> 01:32:26.409
No, I believe that. I believe it too. Chuck Norris

01:32:26.409 --> 01:32:29.010
can win a game of Connect Four in three moves.

01:32:34.979 --> 01:32:37.899
Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one bird.

01:32:38.020 --> 01:32:44.479
Oh, that's pretty cool. Chuck Norris doesn't

01:32:44.479 --> 01:32:46.800
read books. He stares them down until they give

01:32:46.800 --> 01:32:53.239
him the information. I have more if that's not

01:32:53.239 --> 01:32:55.720
enough. I remember some of them I remember hearing

01:32:55.720 --> 01:32:59.819
is Chuck Norris can eat nails. crap razor blades

01:32:59.819 --> 01:33:06.680
i like that one a lot and then that i was i was

01:33:06.680 --> 01:33:09.420
bow hunting at the time and that segue to the

01:33:09.420 --> 01:33:11.340
bow hunting community was when your broadheads

01:33:11.340 --> 01:33:14.600
get dull just you know chuck norris swallows

01:33:14.600 --> 01:33:19.500
them and craps them out sharp i like that yeah

01:33:19.500 --> 01:33:24.079
they got really inventive didn't they let's see

01:33:24.079 --> 01:33:26.100
there was one chuck norris never gets a busy

01:33:26.100 --> 01:33:38.789
signal the phone waits for him Chuck Norris once

01:33:38.789 --> 01:33:45.590
stared into the abyss. The abyss blinked. Hell

01:33:45.590 --> 01:33:51.489
is just a place Chuck Norris chooses to go off.

01:33:55.659 --> 01:33:57.659
Chuck Norris doesn't fear the end of the world.

01:33:58.319 --> 01:34:05.439
The world fears the end of him. Chuck Norris

01:34:05.439 --> 01:34:08.699
doesn't run from danger. Danger runs, hide, and

01:34:08.699 --> 01:34:15.100
still gets found. Chuck Norris doesn't have nightmares.

01:34:15.840 --> 01:34:21.960
Nightmares have Chuck Norris. When Chuck Norris

01:34:21.960 --> 01:34:27.010
breaks the law, the law apologizes. That's a

01:34:27.010 --> 01:34:29.329
good one. Chuck Norris once round -out kicked

01:34:29.329 --> 01:34:37.750
a shadow. It never came back. Let's see. Chuck

01:34:37.750 --> 01:34:39.789
Norris once threw a punch so hard it traveled

01:34:39.789 --> 01:34:42.250
back in time to win the fight before it started.

01:34:43.710 --> 01:34:47.710
That is actually a pretty good one. It is. Ooh,

01:34:47.710 --> 01:34:49.810
remind me to tell you about boxing. Oh, okay.

01:34:50.369 --> 01:34:53.399
And anyhow, that's about it. Okay. So, yeah,

01:34:53.460 --> 01:34:55.319
boxing has been on my mind lately. I've been

01:34:55.319 --> 01:34:59.680
seeing things about boxing, and my maternal grandfather

01:34:59.680 --> 01:35:02.579
was a boxer. The one that didn't get murdered

01:35:02.579 --> 01:35:08.880
was a boxer. Yeah, by the alleged... By the alleged

01:35:08.880 --> 01:35:15.060
Carlos Sevilla. Yes. So, anyway, boxing used

01:35:15.060 --> 01:35:17.460
to be vastly different than it is now. What we're

01:35:17.460 --> 01:35:20.619
accustomed to is, what, two -minute rounds? Yeah.

01:35:21.039 --> 01:35:23.899
And what, fights go at 15 rounds and then they

01:35:23.899 --> 01:35:25.640
make a decision? Yeah, and then they say, yep.

01:35:25.880 --> 01:35:30.359
The way boxing used to be is the round lasted

01:35:30.359 --> 01:35:32.960
however long it took for someone to get knocked

01:35:32.960 --> 01:35:37.380
down. Oh, I like that. Sometimes 15 minute rounds

01:35:37.380 --> 01:35:39.939
before somebody... So every round ended in a

01:35:39.939 --> 01:35:42.220
knockdown. And then they would ring the bell

01:35:42.220 --> 01:35:44.159
and you'd go to your corners and you'd have your

01:35:44.159 --> 01:35:46.539
little... You know, in between. See, I like that

01:35:46.539 --> 01:35:48.579
because stamina would play more of a difference.

01:35:48.619 --> 01:35:52.460
Yes, it would. Very much so. And you've heard

01:35:52.460 --> 01:35:55.960
the expression, can you answer the bell? Yeah.

01:35:56.020 --> 01:35:58.579
That was what the bell would ring for the next

01:35:58.579 --> 01:36:00.420
round. And if you couldn't make it out of your

01:36:00.420 --> 01:36:03.239
corner, then you lose. You couldn't answer the

01:36:03.239 --> 01:36:06.239
bell. I like that. And it was not all that common

01:36:06.239 --> 01:36:07.939
for someone to get knocked out in the middle

01:36:07.939 --> 01:36:10.460
of the round. It was usually... When they got

01:36:10.460 --> 01:36:12.380
knocked down, the round was over, they'd sit

01:36:12.380 --> 01:36:14.279
in their corner, and then the next round started,

01:36:14.319 --> 01:36:16.079
they just couldn't get up. That was it. They

01:36:16.079 --> 01:36:18.720
were still fucked. That's good because that gives

01:36:18.720 --> 01:36:20.800
them two minutes to clear the cobwebs and come

01:36:20.800 --> 01:36:23.199
back out instead of a standing aid or whatever.

01:36:23.500 --> 01:36:28.439
Yeah. Yeah. But even with all these extreme circumstances,

01:36:28.720 --> 01:36:31.100
super long rounds, getting knocked down over

01:36:31.100 --> 01:36:34.720
and over, fights would sometimes last 30 or 40

01:36:34.720 --> 01:36:38.869
rounds. Wow. Yeah. Was this bare knuckle back

01:36:38.869 --> 01:36:41.710
then? A lot of times it was. Wow. That's why

01:36:41.710 --> 01:36:45.649
a lot of boxers used to die. It was a brutal

01:36:45.649 --> 01:36:48.989
sport for a long time. And they changed it to

01:36:48.989 --> 01:36:51.390
make it something where you weren't actually

01:36:51.390 --> 01:36:53.609
always taking your life into your hand every

01:36:53.609 --> 01:36:55.449
time you got in the ring. Well, they kind of

01:36:55.449 --> 01:37:00.010
had to. But, man, boxing used to be tough. It

01:37:00.010 --> 01:37:01.689
used to be a whole lot tougher. I would have

01:37:01.689 --> 01:37:06.090
loved to have seen that. How long have we got?

01:37:07.019 --> 01:37:10.300
Aaron, 32. All right. Do you want to go into

01:37:10.300 --> 01:37:14.239
the music creeps? How about some of the biggest

01:37:14.239 --> 01:37:17.020
box office flops of the past year? I like that.

01:37:17.979 --> 01:37:20.960
So based on reported box office data for 2025,

01:37:21.479 --> 01:37:24.079
here are the most significant high -profile losses.

01:37:24.739 --> 01:37:27.680
We can both guess what number one is. Snow White.

01:37:27.859 --> 01:37:33.840
Yep. It had a $269 million budget. It was considered

01:37:33.840 --> 01:37:36.840
a massive bomb, losing well over $200 million.

01:37:37.039 --> 01:37:42.800
I don't feel bad for them at all. They made less

01:37:42.800 --> 01:37:47.439
than $60 million on the movie. Worldwide. I love

01:37:47.439 --> 01:37:52.760
that. Now, films like Snow White and another

01:37:52.760 --> 01:37:58.539
I'm going to mention, they had so much money

01:37:58.539 --> 01:38:01.630
spent on special effects. And then recasting

01:38:01.630 --> 01:38:03.770
and rewrites and all of a sudden, they needed

01:38:03.770 --> 01:38:07.250
a massive return just to break even. Never were

01:38:07.250 --> 01:38:10.069
going to get it with Snow White anyway. And then

01:38:10.069 --> 01:38:12.109
when they did all sorts of bizarre things to

01:38:12.109 --> 01:38:14.409
the story, people were like, yeah, we'll pass.

01:38:14.470 --> 01:38:16.970
Yeah, that's it. I mean, it wasn't even a kid

01:38:16.970 --> 01:38:19.109
-friendly movie anymore. It just really wasn't.

01:38:19.149 --> 01:38:21.670
No, no, no. They did everything Hollywood does.

01:38:21.670 --> 01:38:26.050
They completely screwed it up. Yeah. Next on

01:38:26.050 --> 01:38:29.229
the list is Tron Ares. It had a $220 million

01:38:29.229 --> 01:38:33.989
plus budget. Oh, yeah. It made about $142 million

01:38:33.989 --> 01:38:38.050
worldwide. So $80 million in losses right off

01:38:38.050 --> 01:38:41.590
the bat at least. And again, they spent just

01:38:41.590 --> 01:38:45.329
so much money on special effects, and there wasn't

01:38:45.329 --> 01:38:47.930
much movie there. And a lot of times that works.

01:38:48.010 --> 01:38:49.970
I mean, Avatar wasn't much of a movie, but the

01:38:49.970 --> 01:38:53.329
special effects were amazing. And that was enough

01:38:53.329 --> 01:38:58.069
to carry it. That was them. This is them. Yeah.

01:38:58.069 --> 01:39:01.310
And here's another one. Elio, Pixar's venture,

01:39:01.489 --> 01:39:05.010
failed to resonate. They spent $200 million plus

01:39:05.010 --> 01:39:08.729
and made back $154 million. So about a $50 million

01:39:08.729 --> 01:39:14.630
loss for Pixar. Wow. And a massive miscalculation

01:39:14.630 --> 01:39:16.770
on what people wanted. Yeah, well, I'd say, yeah.

01:39:18.090 --> 01:39:20.289
Here's one I don't remember called Mickey 17.

01:39:21.210 --> 01:39:25.500
I think it was a kid. And he was like the 17th

01:39:25.500 --> 01:39:28.739
version of that kid. It's like he clones or replicas

01:39:28.739 --> 01:39:32.680
or something like that. 17, okay. $118 million

01:39:32.680 --> 01:39:35.539
budget. Failed to draw large audiences despite

01:39:35.539 --> 01:39:39.819
a popular director and star. Uh -huh. The Smashing

01:39:39.819 --> 01:39:43.619
Machine starring Dwayne Johnson. Had a $50 million

01:39:43.619 --> 01:39:48.439
budget. It was A24's sports drama. Saw poor returns

01:39:48.439 --> 01:39:52.750
of only $20 million. So they lost 30, despite

01:39:52.750 --> 01:39:54.869
critical praise for the performance. So apparently

01:39:54.869 --> 01:39:57.109
Dwayne Johnson did a good job in the movie. It's

01:39:57.109 --> 01:40:00.109
just nobody cared. Nobody wanted to see it. I

01:40:00.109 --> 01:40:03.270
think Dwayne Johnson's star is fading. Yeah,

01:40:03.270 --> 01:40:05.369
well, I think so, too. People don't care anymore.

01:40:05.510 --> 01:40:08.989
I mean, he's been forgotten. Yeah. The Running

01:40:08.989 --> 01:40:11.829
Man had a $110 million budget, brought in about

01:40:11.829 --> 01:40:16.449
$68 million. Big -budget action film that really,

01:40:16.689 --> 01:40:21.359
really underperformed expectations. Entered the

01:40:21.359 --> 01:40:25.119
theaters, exited almost immediately. Because

01:40:25.119 --> 01:40:28.180
you can make $30, $40 million in an opening weekend

01:40:28.180 --> 01:40:30.800
even with a crap movie. Because enough people

01:40:30.800 --> 01:40:32.579
will go see it before the word gets out that

01:40:32.579 --> 01:40:37.119
it's a piece of junk. Sidney Sweeney starred

01:40:37.119 --> 01:40:39.939
in a movie called Christy with a $15 million

01:40:39.939 --> 01:40:43.739
budget. Despite her star power, the boxing biopic

01:40:43.739 --> 01:40:47.880
bombed, grossing only $2 million for a $15 million

01:40:47.880 --> 01:40:52.729
investment. Cool. Alto Knights for a $45 million

01:40:52.729 --> 01:40:56.170
budget. Robert De Niro gangster film that failed

01:40:56.170 --> 01:40:58.810
to generate any audience interest. I believe

01:40:58.810 --> 01:41:03.270
that. Can you even look at Robert De Niro now

01:41:03.270 --> 01:41:06.250
and think anything like that? No. I look at him

01:41:06.250 --> 01:41:08.729
and think pathetic, old, whiny, little crybaby.

01:41:09.010 --> 01:41:11.590
Which is a shame because I like the movie Godfather

01:41:11.590 --> 01:41:13.850
2. I do too. And he's a big part of that, but

01:41:13.850 --> 01:41:16.170
I don't know that I can watch it anymore because

01:41:16.170 --> 01:41:19.369
I know what a whiny old... It's not believable

01:41:19.369 --> 01:41:24.470
now. No. It's not believable. No. Let's see.

01:41:24.529 --> 01:41:28.930
Hurry Up Tomorrow was a project by music star

01:41:28.930 --> 01:41:33.329
The Weeknd. Failed to draw crowds. Lost its whole

01:41:33.329 --> 01:41:37.529
$15 million budget. Captain America, Brave New

01:41:37.529 --> 01:41:40.439
World. Nobody knows exactly how much they spent

01:41:40.439 --> 01:41:43.380
on it, but it underperformed for a Marvel blockbuster,

01:41:43.420 --> 01:41:46.539
earning $415 million globally, but they spent

01:41:46.539 --> 01:41:48.939
more than that, and they expected it to do better

01:41:48.939 --> 01:41:52.119
than that. So $415 million is still a lot of

01:41:52.119 --> 01:41:55.140
money, but they were expecting way more from

01:41:55.140 --> 01:41:59.060
it. They're saying that audience disinterest

01:41:59.060 --> 01:42:01.579
in high -profile stars like Dwayne Johnson, Jared

01:42:01.579 --> 01:42:04.279
Leto, and Robert De Niro failed to boost their

01:42:04.279 --> 01:42:06.659
respective films, and there's a lot of franchise

01:42:06.659 --> 01:42:09.600
fatigue. People are really tired from sequels

01:42:09.600 --> 01:42:11.859
and reboots. Oh, I bet they are. Yeah. Thank

01:42:11.859 --> 01:42:13.899
God people are finally getting tired of that,

01:42:13.960 --> 01:42:16.319
because I was tired of it five years ago. Yeah,

01:42:16.359 --> 01:42:19.649
so was I. Well, and another thing is they changed

01:42:19.649 --> 01:42:23.250
the story and the characters way too much. Yeah.

01:42:23.649 --> 01:42:26.409
To where it's not even nearly the same story,

01:42:26.590 --> 01:42:29.430
and they try to get their little fucking messages

01:42:29.430 --> 01:42:32.930
that they want across, which makes the fucking

01:42:32.930 --> 01:42:36.539
movie boring. Yeah, yeah. And a lot of times

01:42:36.539 --> 01:42:38.800
even people that agree with the message and like

01:42:38.800 --> 01:42:41.239
the message find it very boring to be lectured

01:42:41.239 --> 01:42:44.180
to in a movie theater. Exactly, yeah. And you're

01:42:44.180 --> 01:42:46.220
right. It's not whether you believe the message

01:42:46.220 --> 01:42:48.479
or not. What it is is the fact that they put

01:42:48.479 --> 01:42:52.420
it in there. Yeah, yeah. Like protest music is

01:42:52.420 --> 01:42:55.140
a good example. There's protest music that even

01:42:55.140 --> 01:42:57.100
if you don't support the cause, it's still a

01:42:57.100 --> 01:42:59.060
really good piece of music. Yeah. And there's

01:42:59.060 --> 01:43:02.630
other protest music that is... And even though

01:43:02.630 --> 01:43:04.329
you think the cause is right, you're ashamed

01:43:04.329 --> 01:43:06.689
that that piece of crap is now associated with

01:43:06.689 --> 01:43:07.829
your cause. Yeah, it's like, man, why did you

01:43:07.829 --> 01:43:10.590
do that? Yeah, I agree. It's like, you know,

01:43:10.590 --> 01:43:13.489
painting your graffiti in human shit. Like, dude,

01:43:13.970 --> 01:43:17.470
why did you have to do that? It was fun. Now

01:43:17.470 --> 01:43:21.819
you completely fucked it up. Yeah, that'd be

01:43:21.819 --> 01:43:24.880
a good way to put it is, you know, soapbox, you

01:43:24.880 --> 01:43:28.180
know, political messages in social issue messages

01:43:28.180 --> 01:43:31.439
in movies is like painting a really pretty picture

01:43:31.439 --> 01:43:36.739
in shit. It is. It's just, it's not going to

01:43:36.739 --> 01:43:40.119
work out. No. It's not, no. Nope. So, anyway,

01:43:40.239 --> 01:43:42.060
I'll see you the next, I've got another one about

01:43:42.060 --> 01:43:45.449
TV shows that were. Big Then Disappear that I've

01:43:45.449 --> 01:43:47.850
got a list of TV shows that were cancelled before

01:43:47.850 --> 01:43:49.869
the very first airing, but we can save that until

01:43:49.869 --> 01:43:52.029
next time if you like. Okay. Yeah, yeah. No,

01:43:52.130 --> 01:43:54.029
we're just on a time limit today. That's why

01:43:54.029 --> 01:43:56.210
I asked. Yeah. We've got to be out of here by

01:43:56.210 --> 01:43:59.289
2 by 2. Yeah. So we probably would have about

01:43:59.289 --> 01:44:03.960
an hour 40. Yep. Not bad. Okay. All right. And

01:44:03.960 --> 01:44:06.359
I got to go pee again. Okay. So yeah, let's go

01:44:06.359 --> 01:44:08.720
ahead and just, uh, anyhow, everybody, thank

01:44:08.720 --> 01:44:10.659
you for listening. We really appreciate it. You

01:44:10.659 --> 01:44:13.220

01:44:13.380 --> 01:44:16.180
I mean, we really thank you guys very much for

01:44:16.180 --> 01:44:18.960
