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?

00:00:31.120 --> 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,

00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:43.719
we can and will lie if it makes the story better.

00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:57.820
Two douchebags and a microphone? Hey peeps! It's

00:00:57.820 --> 00:01:01.159
time for the police blotter. That's right stories

00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:05.379
about stupid criminals and the dumbassness that

00:01:05.379 --> 00:01:10.739
ensued. Let us begin now. Dean Young, 26, entered

00:01:10.739 --> 00:01:13.040
a parked landscaping van in Hialeah, Florida,

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.730
allegedly to steal the tools in the inside. He

00:01:16.730 --> 00:01:18.750
accidentally locked himself inside the van and

00:01:18.750 --> 00:01:20.569
begins screaming for someone to let him out.

00:01:20.689 --> 00:01:22.950
The landscapers heard the man's screams and promptly

00:01:22.950 --> 00:01:24.950
called the police where he was arrested for breaking

00:01:24.950 --> 00:01:27.090
and entering a vehicle and for attempted theft.

00:01:27.650 --> 00:01:32.090
This guy gets a stupid pendant pronto. People

00:01:32.090 --> 00:01:34.670
often ask, how do we cram so much money into

00:01:34.670 --> 00:01:38.129
one little shell? Well, it's simple. We buy funny

00:01:38.129 --> 00:01:41.829
in bulk on the internet. Hey Mark, you're wanted

00:01:41.829 --> 00:01:44.090
at the front door. There's a big bag of funny

00:01:44.090 --> 00:01:47.469
they need you to sign for. Okay, thanks a lot.

00:01:47.549 --> 00:01:49.329
I'll be right there. I'm still sorting out the

00:01:49.329 --> 00:01:52.030
funny we got from yesterday. There's your answer.

00:01:52.049 --> 00:01:55.930
We buy funny in bulk on the internet. Hey there,

00:01:56.010 --> 00:01:58.870
slap nuts. It's time for the Creeps Music News.

00:02:01.469 --> 00:02:04.030
Hey, my little pumpkin seeds. This is Johnny

00:02:04.030 --> 00:02:07.790
Rohypnol with your music news. Remember the 70s

00:02:07.790 --> 00:02:12.849
rock band Angel? Yep, those guys. All dressed

00:02:12.849 --> 00:02:16.610
in white with the logo that read Angel. Upside

00:02:16.610 --> 00:02:22.889
or down? Yes, those guys. Well, they have a final

00:02:22.889 --> 00:02:26.469
album in the works with a final tour. No date

00:02:26.469 --> 00:02:29.430
set yet, but the album is coming out this summer.

00:02:30.349 --> 00:02:33.789
This is Johnny Rohypnol. That was your music

00:02:33.789 --> 00:02:36.569
news. And remember, bar chords are bullshit.

00:02:39.650 --> 00:02:41.810
Have you ever wondered what something is about?

00:02:42.300 --> 00:02:44.080
Have you ever looked at something and said, hey,

00:02:44.180 --> 00:02:47.259
I wonder what the origin of that is? Well, so

00:02:47.259 --> 00:02:51.159
have we. That's why we give you The Origin of.

00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.699
The Origin of the Goatee. The Goatee is a beard

00:02:56.699 --> 00:02:59.080
style that dates back to ancient Greece and Rome

00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:02.099
and is named for its resemblance to a goat's

00:03:02.099 --> 00:03:05.139
beard. The Goatee has been worn by many famous

00:03:05.139 --> 00:03:07.340
men throughout history, including Uncle Sam,

00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:11.189
Henry M. Hoyt, and Mr. Spock. The god Pam was

00:03:11.189 --> 00:03:13.550
often depicted with a goatee, and in medieval

00:03:13.550 --> 00:03:16.009
and renaissance art, Satan was depicted with

00:03:16.009 --> 00:03:19.270
a goatee as well. The goatee became popular again

00:03:19.270 --> 00:03:22.930
in the 1940s as a defining trait of the beatniks

00:03:22.930 --> 00:03:25.610
and jazz musicians. It fell out of favor again

00:03:25.610 --> 00:03:28.409
in the 1960s, but became fashionable again in

00:03:28.409 --> 00:03:31.870
the 1990s and 2000s. The term goatee originated

00:03:31.870 --> 00:03:35.009
in the late 20th century. It was originally called

00:03:35.009 --> 00:03:39.610
a goatee. Here we go. Signs that you might be

00:03:39.610 --> 00:03:53.409
a pussy. Signs that you might be a pussy. If

00:03:53.409 --> 00:03:56.210
you've ever had Phil Collins or Oingo Boingo

00:03:56.210 --> 00:04:00.469
posters on your wall. If you've ever raised your

00:04:00.469 --> 00:04:03.050
coffee mug or tea glass with your pinky extended.

00:04:04.330 --> 00:04:07.879
If you often lotion up your hands with no apparent

00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:11.340
reason. If you like poached eggs, if you sing

00:04:11.340 --> 00:04:13.919
along to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, or if you have

00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.740
ever wore a pair of Crocs, even just trying them

00:04:16.740 --> 00:04:20.660
out, you are a pussy. Here at Two Douchebags

00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:23.180
Central, we needed a voice for common sense,

00:04:23.379 --> 00:04:26.699
since none of us fit that bill. We opted for

00:04:26.699 --> 00:04:32.579
another voice. So here I am, Mr. Buford T. Rasputin.

00:04:33.409 --> 00:04:37.170
DeCarlos Brown Jr. in late 2025 was released

00:04:37.170 --> 00:04:40.550
on a promise to appear by Magistrate Judge Teresa

00:04:40.550 --> 00:04:46.149
Stokes, despite having 14 prior arrests. Following

00:04:46.149 --> 00:04:49.670
his release, he stabbed to death Irina Zarytska

00:04:49.670 --> 00:04:53.529
to death at a light rail station. Jason Ayala,

00:04:53.730 --> 00:04:58.420
New York, New York. In January 2025, Judge Robert

00:04:58.420 --> 00:05:02.000
Rosehensel granted Ayala supervised release while

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.560
he was awaiting violent forced robbery charges.

00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.560
The following day, Ayala allegedly committed

00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:12.060
a sexual assault spree, molesting two children

00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:15.560
and three adult women within a 30 -minute window.

00:05:16.100 --> 00:05:19.199
There are literally hundreds more over that span

00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:22.120
of a couple of years, so that's where this fine

00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:26.470
show comes in. We introduce to you the Adopt

00:05:26.470 --> 00:05:30.029
-a -Judge program. This would be a true way to

00:05:30.029 --> 00:05:32.470
measure if a judge is willing to guarantee the

00:05:32.470 --> 00:05:35.850
criminal has reformed. The program is simple.

00:05:36.149 --> 00:05:39.529
A judge lets a violent criminal out early or

00:05:39.529 --> 00:05:42.769
on a signature bond or whatever. The said judge

00:05:42.769 --> 00:05:46.170
has to sign responsibility papers to ensure that

00:05:46.170 --> 00:05:49.170
his convict will not partake in heinous acts.

00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.420
The released convict would also have to live

00:05:52.420 --> 00:05:55.620
with that judge until the victim's family okays

00:05:55.620 --> 00:05:58.639
the person for a regular life and can leave the

00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:03.459
judge's dwelling. This has been Buford T. Rasputin

00:06:03.459 --> 00:06:07.220
signing off with your Common Sense Moment. Get

00:06:07.220 --> 00:06:09.620
on out of here so mama can make some pancakes,

00:06:09.939 --> 00:06:13.899
boy. And now we look in on the adventures of

00:06:13.899 --> 00:06:18.360
the Technical Explanation Guy. Why, excuse me,

00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:21.860

nearest self -employed person in a motorized

00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.800
vehicle that will transport me where I ask them

00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.899

00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:37.300
ride. Then just say an Uber ride, you dumb motherfucker.

00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:39.399
And why are you constantly following me around

00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:44.899
asking me stupid questions? Fucking idiot. and

00:06:44.899 --> 00:06:48.420

the very first heartbeats ground level of the

00:06:56.339 --> 00:06:59.819
rock island bridge here in kansas city actually

00:06:59.819 --> 00:07:01.920
kansas because as soon as you hit the bridge

00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:04.379
it is kansas officially you cross the state line

00:07:04.379 --> 00:07:06.879
so remember that the laws over here in kansas

00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.370
are slightly different Yep, yep, so hide your

weed. Yeah, leave your weed at home, definitely.

00:07:11.490 --> 00:07:13.449
But, I mean, if you want to prostitute or something,

00:07:13.550 --> 00:07:15.509
that's fine. Kansas doesn't care. They love it.

00:07:17.069 --> 00:07:19.230
Allegedly, not really. Allegedly, yeah. You know

00:07:19.230 --> 00:07:22.269

from this bridge. We are. Ever. Yes, ever. That's

00:07:25.910 --> 00:07:27.870
pretty amazing. As a matter of fact, we already

00:07:27.870 --> 00:07:29.790
made some friends of this bridge. We did, yeah.

00:07:30.189 --> 00:07:31.589
Yeah, they're going to come over and promote

00:07:57.060 --> 00:07:59.399
at first. I did too, and I signed up going by

00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:02.300
that. I'm going to walk the dog all over that.

00:08:02.339 --> 00:08:04.720
Oh, wait, yoga? No, okay, never mind. Yeah, forget

00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:07.019
it. But speaking of dogs, it is a dog -friendly

00:08:07.019 --> 00:08:09.160
bridge. It is. Keep your dog on a leash, no problem.

00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.720
Yeah, all the dogs said hi to me. Yeah. I know,

00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:16.300
it was so friendly. All right. Okay. So this

00:08:16.300 --> 00:08:19.180
is the Two Douchebags and Microphone Alternative

00:08:19.180 --> 00:08:20.879
Universe Edition. Alternative Universe, yeah.

00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:22.600
But we do have some football stuff, you know.

00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:25.259
Yeah. So we are going to – do you want to go

00:08:25.259 --> 00:08:27.579
straight to the football stuff? Yeah, yeah. That's

00:08:27.579 --> 00:08:29.459
what we're kind of warmed up on. Yeah. Okay.

00:08:29.660 --> 00:08:31.839
We're still working out the kinks of our location

00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:33.639
here, so you're going to hear some noises and

00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:35.220
some things. Yeah, we hear a little rattling.

00:08:35.340 --> 00:08:38.259
We'll figure it out. Yeah. So, I mean, it's still

00:08:38.259 --> 00:08:42.279
us, though. Yeah. For better or worse. All right.

00:08:43.340 --> 00:08:45.460
Curious Need is supposedly going to sign with

00:08:45.460 --> 00:08:49.179
the Chiefs per Adam Schefter. Wow. I hope he's

00:08:49.179 --> 00:08:51.620
cheaper. He would have to be. He would have to

00:08:51.620 --> 00:08:53.960
be pretty cheap. Well, no, the rumor is he said,

00:08:54.019 --> 00:08:56.940
I want to go to the Chiefs. Yeah. And he's taken

00:08:56.940 --> 00:08:59.080
less money to go to the Chiefs. And he didn't

00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:01.440
exactly have a dazzling performance those two

00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.960
years over there in Tennessee. No, no, no. I

00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:05.860
mean, good for him that he was able to get a

00:09:05.860 --> 00:09:09.549
good payday there. Also good for him for realizing

00:09:09.549 --> 00:09:12.289
that Kansas City Chiefs is where he needs to

00:09:12.289 --> 00:09:13.970
be. Well, yeah, he was traded. He was traded,

00:09:13.990 --> 00:09:15.269
so he had no choice. Because we couldn't afford

00:09:15.269 --> 00:09:18.169
him. Yeah, we couldn't afford him. But now it

00:09:18.169 --> 00:09:20.450
appears that we will be able to afford him, which

00:09:20.450 --> 00:09:22.889
I'm all about. I mean, look, the guy, if he could

00:09:22.889 --> 00:09:25.289
become that shutdown corner again like he did

00:09:25.289 --> 00:09:28.529
here a couple of years ago. Yeah. Yeah, that's

00:09:28.529 --> 00:09:30.470
what we need on that one side. And then we have

00:09:30.470 --> 00:09:33.899
Williams. Yeah. I think it's Knoll. There's a

00:09:33.899 --> 00:09:36.019
couple of Williams. One we let go. We're going

00:09:36.019 --> 00:09:38.620
to go test free agency. Yeah, Noel Williams.

00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:42.539
It appears to be. another guy in the coming up

00:09:42.539 --> 00:09:44.500
and then uh you know we're getting some defensive

00:09:44.500 --> 00:09:47.700
line help we gotta yeah um the defense suddenly

00:09:47.700 --> 00:09:52.139
isn't quite as worrisome if they if they do sign

00:09:52.139 --> 00:09:54.960
legerius need and he is healthy and he is somewhat

00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:57.200
of what he used to be yeah yeah just that one

00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:59.620
little move well i guess they've made some other

00:09:59.620 --> 00:10:01.960
moves too but nothing like big and splashy like

00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:04.059
kenneth walker happened on the defense but still

00:10:04.059 --> 00:10:05.700
that was starting to feel good about the defense

00:10:05.700 --> 00:10:08.100
i still shake my head and go wow i can't believe

00:10:08.100 --> 00:10:11.259
the chiefs actually paid for somebody I mean,

00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:15.879
their M .O. was Kelsey, Mahomes, Jones. I mean,

00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:17.820
everyone else they gave good contracts to, but

00:10:17.820 --> 00:10:20.240
those were like the cornerstones. Yeah, but you

00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:23.919
look back at the Dallas dynasty with Aikman at

00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:26.279
quarterback. Emmitt Smith. Michael Irvin at receiver.

00:10:26.379 --> 00:10:28.279
Yeah, and Emmitt Smith at running back. And so

00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:29.940
you had the quarterback, the receiver, and the

00:10:29.940 --> 00:10:32.519
running back. Yes. And that was really tough

00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:35.220
to stop. And it was a winning formula, so that's

00:10:35.220 --> 00:10:36.899
what we're trying here. And people, for some

00:10:36.899 --> 00:10:42.279
reason, are still high on Rice. He has all the

00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:45.340
ability in the world. Yeah. And he was injured.

00:10:45.899 --> 00:10:48.500
So I'm willing to go ahead and let's see what

00:10:48.500 --> 00:10:50.600
happens. And let's hope another year removed

00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:53.700
from his whole mess with the traffic accident

00:10:53.700 --> 00:10:56.980
and all that stuff. Maybe his head's a little

00:10:56.980 --> 00:10:59.299
bit... in a better place and he can concentrate

00:10:59.299 --> 00:11:01.100
on the game more and do better on the field.

00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.000
Primarily, he needs to succeed as a human being,

00:11:04.139 --> 00:11:05.860
but let's hope he's done that to the point where

00:11:05.860 --> 00:11:08.440
he can now succeed as a Kansas City Chief, too.

00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:11.639
The early reports is he has changed his life

00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:14.279
around. I hope so. I certainly hope so. And not

00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:16.460
just for the Chiefs, but for the young man. Absolutely.

00:11:16.700 --> 00:11:18.460
And everybody in his family, everyone who cares

00:11:18.460 --> 00:11:20.419
about him, they want him to succeed. Yeah, I

00:11:20.419 --> 00:11:22.879
want him to succeed because he's a young man

00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:25.460
that has a talent. Even if he were on the hated

00:11:25.460 --> 00:11:27.259
Raiders, I would want him to succeed. succeed

00:11:27.259 --> 00:11:29.639
it's same here you know he's a human being i

00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:31.440
don't care what team he's on he's a human being

00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:34.620
yeah so so that part of it yeah we really really

00:11:34.620 --> 00:11:36.899
wish him luck and yeah but we would love to see

00:11:36.899 --> 00:11:39.120
him come back to form too so definitely definitely

00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:42.120
um i got just a couple of questions this isn't

00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:45.879
bullet points yet okay so um so who would be

00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.460
the top five super bowl contenders right now

00:11:48.460 --> 00:11:51.700
wow you know i'm thinking the chiefs have got

00:11:51.700 --> 00:11:55.700
to be in there Because of pedigree, barely. I'm

00:11:55.700 --> 00:11:58.519
going to say they're number five. Yeah, if Kelsey

00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:01.440
wasn't coming back, then it would probably not

00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.100
be in the top five. Yeah. But, yeah, I'm thinking

00:12:05.100 --> 00:12:12.100
probably number five, the Chiefs. Yeah. And as

00:12:12.100 --> 00:12:13.840
far as teams that have been strong. Number one,

00:12:13.980 --> 00:12:16.139
you've got to go with Seattle. Probably Seattle,

00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:19.740
yeah. Yeah, they've lost a couple of pieces,

00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:21.639
but I still think there's enough of them. Anyhow,

00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:23.779
go ahead. I'm thinking Denver's going to make

00:12:23.779 --> 00:12:26.659
a serious run. Denver is probably number two.

00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:30.500
I don't know if I include the Patriots in it

00:12:30.500 --> 00:12:34.379
or not. Yeah, Patriots, Bills, Ravens, I'm just

00:12:34.379 --> 00:12:37.220
not really sure about. I'm not sure either. The

00:12:37.220 --> 00:12:40.580
Bills have done some different things this year,

00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:42.700
but I can't get a really good read on it. It

00:12:42.700 --> 00:12:45.000
seems to me like they're, oh, hey, thank you.

00:12:45.419 --> 00:12:48.559
Hey, we just got a card from... Hey, you got

00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:50.220
anything you want to talk about on here? All

00:12:50.220 --> 00:12:54.759
right. Okay, thank you. We have a contact now.

00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:59.059
Oh, good. This might be our new home base. We'll

00:12:59.059 --> 00:13:00.659
get our name on the list and we'll feel like

00:13:00.659 --> 00:13:06.480
we're cool. Yeah, we will. But we'll see. As

00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:09.039
far as the rest of the AFC, man, I'm struggling

00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:10.799
to find something. I mean, Pittsburgh might be

00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:13.629
better. But they have a long way to go. Yeah,

00:13:13.649 --> 00:13:16.490
Pittsburgh has got a lot of different holes they

00:13:16.490 --> 00:13:19.210
need to fill. And Aaron Rodgers is going to be

00:13:19.210 --> 00:13:21.450
a year older. I'm pretty sure he's coming back

00:13:21.450 --> 00:13:23.649
because of Mike McCarthy. Yeah, it seems pretty

00:13:23.649 --> 00:13:25.230
likely. I think that was the whole idea when

00:13:25.230 --> 00:13:28.750
Tomlin decided to step down. He probably said,

00:13:28.870 --> 00:13:31.409
you know, I really like McCarthy. I might stick

00:13:31.409 --> 00:13:33.490
around if he's here. And I think he probably

00:13:33.490 --> 00:13:36.870
had a lot to do with him being there. Yeah, yeah.

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:40.639
I know Rogers felt really bad about stinking

00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:42.899
it up last year, and he feels like he was part

00:13:42.899 --> 00:13:46.039
of the reason Tomlin was fired. Yeah. Well, was

00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:49.240
he fired? Do you think he was? Well, yeah, he

00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:52.519
resigned, but it was the kind of thing of, you

00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:54.179
know, we'll let you resign so you don't have

00:13:54.179 --> 00:13:56.200
the stigma of getting fired. Yeah. You know,

00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:58.039
you can tell everyone you left on your own terms.

00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:00.100
And also, I still have problems with firing someone

00:14:00.100 --> 00:14:02.820
like Mike Tomlin, but I know it has to happen,

00:14:02.860 --> 00:14:05.559
though. Yeah, yeah. It's not necessarily the

00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:08.019
fact that they suck, because they don't. It's

00:14:08.019 --> 00:14:09.740
just the fact that you've been, I mean, look

00:14:09.740 --> 00:14:12.240
at Andy Reid in Philadelphia. Yeah. He admitted,

00:14:12.379 --> 00:14:14.559
he said, it is my time to go. Yeah. And, well,

00:14:14.740 --> 00:14:17.679
he didn't look back, did he? Yeah. No. I don't

00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:20.279
think it was Sean McDermott's time to go in Buffalo

00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:22.700
quite yet. No, he deserved. I wasn't surprised

00:14:22.700 --> 00:14:24.159
when it happened to him. I wasn't surprised,

00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:26.779
no. But I didn't think it was the right move

00:14:26.779 --> 00:14:29.600
at that time. I think it was more, it was obviously

00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:32.159
the body of work. Yeah. Because they go, okay.

00:14:32.750 --> 00:14:37.750
Now, to put that in realistically, look at the

00:14:37.750 --> 00:14:40.889
AFC during the time. Okay, you had Josh Allen,

00:14:40.990 --> 00:14:44.389
of course, but you had Patrick Mahomes, and you

00:14:44.389 --> 00:14:48.529
also had Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow. You had

00:14:48.529 --> 00:14:52.370
elite quarterbacks as good, if not better, than

00:14:52.370 --> 00:14:56.090
your quarterback. So I don't know what McDermott

00:14:56.090 --> 00:14:58.490
could have done with a lot of those games. The

00:14:58.490 --> 00:15:01.559
13th second game, no. No, no, no. There was nothing

00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:04.179
you could do. No, no, really. No. I wonder how

00:15:04.179 --> 00:15:08.279
much influence the new stadium next year had

00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:11.279
on firing McDermott. I think it's a pressure

00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:13.620
on him. Yeah, I think that was part of the pressure.

00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:16.039
If they hadn't had the new stadium next year,

00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.039
McDermott might have stuck around another year.

00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:21.600
I would agree. Yeah. Yeah, so, you know, but

00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:23.600
McDermott's going to be fine. He's going to land

00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:25.519
on his feet. He decided to take the year off,

00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:27.590
I believe. Seems like it, yeah, and that's probably

00:15:27.590 --> 00:15:30.230
a good idea. It is. Let him go clear his head

00:15:30.230 --> 00:15:32.789
and then look for the right opportunity. He has

00:15:32.789 --> 00:15:37.009
enough behind him to where he can wait for that

00:15:37.009 --> 00:15:39.129
job, and I think he's going to. He's not a dumb

00:15:39.129 --> 00:15:41.490
guy, obviously. And from the indications that

00:15:41.490 --> 00:15:46.549
we all read and heard, McDermott knew a few weeks

00:15:46.549 --> 00:15:50.129
before the end of the season that it was make

00:15:50.129 --> 00:15:52.789
it to the Super Bowl or you're done. So I'm sure

00:15:52.789 --> 00:15:55.220
he was making plans at that point. That's what

00:15:55.220 --> 00:16:00.320
smart people do. Yeah. So whatever he had as

00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:02.799
his backup plan, now he can go do that. Yeah.

00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:06.419
Yeah. So, you know, and I like McDermott. I've

00:16:06.419 --> 00:16:09.860
always been a fan of him. He is a pretty, to

00:16:09.860 --> 00:16:12.259
me, a pretty well -grounded, reasonable guy.

00:16:12.500 --> 00:16:15.200
Yeah. Yeah, you never hear of any blow -ups or

00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.500
outbursts or dick moves on his part. It's always

00:16:18.500 --> 00:16:21.600
just business as usual. Yeah. That seems to be

00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:23.480
what Buffalo wants in a head coach. They don't

00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:26.389
want some. wild man. No, you're right, they don't.

00:16:26.570 --> 00:16:29.789
Colleges seem to like wild coaches, but the NFL

00:16:29.789 --> 00:16:31.730
tends to not like the wild, crazy coaches. Or

00:16:31.730 --> 00:16:35.169
the good old Urban Meyer at Jacksonville. Or

00:16:35.169 --> 00:16:38.909
Deion Sanders wasn't exactly calm and tame over

00:16:38.909 --> 00:16:41.669
there in Colorado. No, he wasn't, no. But you

00:16:41.669 --> 00:16:45.029
noticed on the Urban Meyer situation where they

00:16:45.029 --> 00:16:47.429
got rid of him so quick that the whole thing

00:16:47.429 --> 00:16:49.789
did not come out. Yeah. That was on purpose.

00:16:50.070 --> 00:16:53.029
Yeah, and I think the message there to the entire

00:16:53.029 --> 00:16:57.090
college coaching community was, don't come up

00:16:57.090 --> 00:16:59.730
here and act like this guy, or we're just going

00:16:59.730 --> 00:17:01.710
to quit bringing in college coaches for a while.

00:17:01.809 --> 00:17:04.349
Yes. We'll hire from within, and y 'all are going

00:17:04.349 --> 00:17:07.569
to start out as low -level assistants. Yeah,

00:17:07.670 --> 00:17:10.450
and I mean, actually, I mean, there's a few of

00:17:10.450 --> 00:17:12.990
them that work out really well in college, and

00:17:12.990 --> 00:17:16.880
then a majority of them don't. Urban Meyer was

00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:19.400
at Florida? Florida, yeah. And they were all

00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:22.519
in on his image. Yeah, they were. And so they

00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:24.920
weren't going to make him tame his ass down because

00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:26.700
having Urban Meyer in the NFL would have been

00:17:26.700 --> 00:17:29.720
excellent news for Florida. Yeah, if he went

00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:35.019
into like staying in the town that you just left

00:17:35.019 --> 00:17:38.599
with some girl. Yeah, I believe he was married,

00:17:38.660 --> 00:17:41.079
wasn't he? Yeah, I think he was. Maybe not so

00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:43.240
much anymore, maybe. I don't know. Oh, yeah.

00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:45.119
I don't know. You think Dave Grohl, the Foo Fighters,

00:17:45.140 --> 00:17:47.279
wound up unmarried for about the same reason?

00:17:47.500 --> 00:17:53.279
Because he wound up plus kidded. Yes. Plus kidded.

00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:57.019
Yeah. Okay. He portrayed his image as one of

00:17:57.019 --> 00:17:59.400
the better guys in rock and roll, the family

00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:02.839
man who never strays and blah, blah. Well, the

00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:05.680
best way it was ever handled was Ozzy Osbourne.

00:18:06.980 --> 00:18:09.039
when he got caught having an affair with his

00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:12.700
hairdresser. And he goes, I'm a rock star. That's

00:18:12.700 --> 00:18:14.839
what I'm supposed to do. And everyone was like,

00:18:15.019 --> 00:18:20.940
nothing to see here. I loved it. He just, hey,

00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:24.680
this is what I do. Get out of here now. Ozzy

00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:27.460
had so many opportunities where he said just

00:18:27.460 --> 00:18:30.039
the exact right thing for the circumstance. And

00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:31.900
he just came up with it at the spur of the moment.

00:18:32.019 --> 00:18:35.460
Oh, I know. Quite brilliant. Very gifted in that

00:18:35.460 --> 00:18:37.599
way. He gets a lot of credit, but he'll never

00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:40.839
get the credit for everything that he's done.

00:18:41.380 --> 00:18:44.279
Because people tend to look at him, even myself,

00:18:44.420 --> 00:18:46.200
as, oh, he wasn't that good a singer. Actually,

00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:49.400
he really was. Yeah, I mean, you're not going

00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:53.799
to want him to sing Sinatra or anything like

00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:56.380
that. But for being a rock and roll vocalist.

00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:58.680
What more could you want, really? No, he was

00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:02.039
energetic. Everybody liked his voice. Yeah. He

00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:04.619
had a very distinct voice. He could sing anywhere.

00:19:04.980 --> 00:19:06.980
Yeah. He could sing in a choir. You could pick

00:19:06.980 --> 00:19:10.390
him out. I think he had a pretty decent range,

00:19:10.529 --> 00:19:12.309
too. I mean, he had a better range than a lot

00:19:12.309 --> 00:19:14.970
of people who were also very successful. Well,

00:19:15.009 --> 00:19:17.549
people are more famously like Robert Plant and

00:19:17.549 --> 00:19:19.069
stuff like that, and they're like, well, Ozzy

00:19:19.069 --> 00:19:20.869
was off -key. Well, did you ever hear Robert

00:19:20.869 --> 00:19:23.730
Plant? Oh, my God. Robert Plant didn't care what

00:19:23.730 --> 00:19:25.769
key you were in. He was just going to emit one

00:19:25.769 --> 00:19:27.650
of those wails, and it was going to be all over

00:19:27.650 --> 00:19:30.650
the place. keyboard just like I don't care David

00:19:30.650 --> 00:19:33.250
Coverdell can get painful at times yeah yeah

00:19:33.250 --> 00:19:36.130
but he can also be very good too I mean yeah

00:19:36.130 --> 00:19:38.630
so well anyhow all right we'll go back to football

00:19:38.630 --> 00:19:40.769
here all right we kind of answered this already

00:19:40.769 --> 00:19:43.269
but it's on here so how tough will Denver be

00:19:43.269 --> 00:19:45.910
this year I think they'll be a lot tougher it's

00:19:45.910 --> 00:19:47.430
gonna be them and the Chiefs I think battling

00:19:48.639 --> 00:19:51.579
I don't think that the Chargers are quite there

00:19:51.579 --> 00:19:54.400
yet. No, really not. They didn't do anything

00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:57.140
this past season to really help themselves. Yeah,

00:19:57.279 --> 00:19:59.240
they kind of look like they're going to take

00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:02.440
a step back. Yeah. And also, I am just not that

00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:07.440
big of a Justin Herbert fan. Yeah, I'm not either.

00:20:07.539 --> 00:20:11.759
He doesn't really show that gut. You see Josh

00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:14.140
Allen out there, and he's just like, fuck, he's

00:20:14.140 --> 00:20:17.599
just like obsessed with winning it. And it just

00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:19.240
looks to me like Justin Herbert's kind of like,

00:20:19.259 --> 00:20:21.740
he's kind of like Trevor Lawrence. It looks like

00:20:21.740 --> 00:20:23.339
he's thinking about the beach instead of like

00:20:23.339 --> 00:20:25.259
thinking about winning the game. That's a good

00:20:25.259 --> 00:20:28.099
point. When I'm watching, I'm realizing now what

00:20:28.099 --> 00:20:31.339
I'm seeing in Josh Allen is he doesn't care what

00:20:31.339 --> 00:20:33.079
happens to him. He wants the play to succeed.

00:20:33.180 --> 00:20:34.660
Exactly, where it looks like Herbert's kind of

00:20:34.660 --> 00:20:36.039
like, I'm not doing that. I'm going to get hurt.

00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:38.259
Yeah, yeah, which is what most normal people

00:20:38.259 --> 00:20:40.519
do is like, oh, no, that's going to hurt. I'm

00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:42.720
holding back. I'm moving somewhere else. Yeah,

00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:44.660
it looks to me like he holds back where someone

00:20:44.660 --> 00:20:48.480
like Allen or Mahomes or Jackson, you know, it

00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:50.859
doesn't care. He doesn't have the fearless quality

00:20:50.859 --> 00:20:52.819
where he's just going to throw it all out there

00:20:52.819 --> 00:20:55.019
and hope for the best. Or Jackson will just keep...

00:20:55.019 --> 00:20:58.380
Oh, God. Oh, man, that guy, I bet you... They

00:20:58.380 --> 00:21:00.680
are defensive backs crying in their sleep over

00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:04.059
that guy. It can also go wrong because Tua would

00:21:04.059 --> 00:21:06.160
have had a longer career in Miami if he hadn't

00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:08.099
thrown himself into a lot of situations. And

00:21:08.099 --> 00:21:10.519
I think Jackson is starting to get to that because

00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:14.660
he does have the arm. You see, I have to give

00:21:14.660 --> 00:21:17.140
John Harbaugh and his staff a lot of credit.

00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:19.400
Instead of just sitting on their laurels with

00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:22.140
this guy being really good, they're like, no,

00:21:22.180 --> 00:21:24.240
no, no, we're going to perfect his passing. And

00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:27.339
they did. So the guy, he can throw that pinpoint

00:21:27.339 --> 00:21:31.599
pass, and he can run. And if you ever see him

00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:33.779
like someone with Andy Reid or something, oh,

00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:35.819
my gosh, that would be just deadly, wouldn't

00:21:35.819 --> 00:21:39.960
it? That would. Yeah, so anyhow. All right. So

00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:42.299
despite all the Chiefs' recent success, are the

00:21:42.299 --> 00:21:44.299
Broncos the team to beat in the division? And

00:21:44.299 --> 00:21:49.339
I would say yes, but. Yeah, plus, you know. With

00:21:49.339 --> 00:21:52.400
the way the Denver season ended last year with

00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:54.980
Bo Nix going out and them having basically nobody,

00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:58.000
they're going to make sure that doesn't happen

00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:01.160
to them again. Yes. So you're not going to see

00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:03.799
that ever happen again with the Broncos under

00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:06.559
this head coach. Someone's peeling a child. Oh,

00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:10.079
yeah. I thought they had an area for that. Oh,

00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:13.319
yeah. Child peeling areas over there to the left.

00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:16.759
It's like they got one arm off. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:22:17.099 --> 00:22:18.779
They're trying to get the foot off, and that's

00:22:18.779 --> 00:22:20.779
what the problem is. He's very attached to his

00:22:20.779 --> 00:22:24.680
foot. All right, you got something. We talked

00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:26.059
a little football. We can go back to football.

00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:29.559
I have more stories. I watched some UFL action

00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:33.359
over the weekend. Oh, yeah. And I was really

00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:37.740
impressed with the level of play. It was good

00:22:37.740 --> 00:22:39.799
football. It's better. I've watched some of it.

00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:42.680
Yeah, yeah. It was exciting turnovers, exciting

00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:45.839
long passes. I like some of the new rules. Yeah,

00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:47.880
yeah. That's a good point. They have some new

00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:52.160
rules for this year. Number one is once you cross

00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:56.220
the 50, you cannot punt. Yeah, I love that. I

00:22:56.220 --> 00:22:59.180
love it, too. Okay, now, like we were talking

00:22:59.180 --> 00:23:02.099
about before is, okay, here's how something like

00:23:02.099 --> 00:23:05.990
that can work, okay? All right. Everything's

00:23:05.990 --> 00:23:09.130
a Hail Mary past 50 -yard line. Yeah. It's like,

00:23:09.250 --> 00:23:11.430
okay, I'm going to throw it down there. I'm going

00:23:11.430 --> 00:23:13.769
to have my guys all in this area. If they catch

00:23:13.769 --> 00:23:16.569
it, we got the first down. We're on the goal

00:23:16.569 --> 00:23:19.509
line or really close. And if not, they catch

00:23:19.509 --> 00:23:22.609
it, we tackle them, and it is the same as a kick.

00:23:22.789 --> 00:23:25.630
Yeah, pretty much. I love that. Yeah. It dares

00:23:25.630 --> 00:23:29.230
teams to go for it. Plus the fact that. If it's

00:23:29.230 --> 00:23:31.309
a long enough field goal, you get four points

00:23:31.309 --> 00:23:33.549
instead of three. Yeah. Oh, downtown airport,

00:23:33.769 --> 00:23:35.369
we're going to hear a lot of planes. Oh, yeah,

00:23:35.410 --> 00:23:37.049
this is true. We're probably not going to see

00:23:37.049 --> 00:23:38.609
too many because the cloud cover is pretty low.

00:23:38.690 --> 00:23:40.670
Oh, there it is behind you. Oh, yeah, there he

00:23:40.670 --> 00:23:45.410
is. Twin engine biz jet. Yep. Kill. All right.

00:23:45.589 --> 00:23:50.150
Another rule change. Was that Braniff? TWA. TWA,

00:23:50.170 --> 00:23:54.190
okay. They have identical planes. Let's see,

00:23:54.230 --> 00:23:56.950
another rule change. Google it. Yeah. One foot.

00:23:57.279 --> 00:23:59.839
Inbounds for receptions, not two feet. You only

00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:02.099
need one foot, just like in college. I love that.

00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:04.079
That is awesome. That's going to take away all

00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:07.880
these iffies like, well, like... Did he drag

00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:10.799
his toe? Can you see it moving the grass blades?

00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:14.000
The Isaiah Likely play, famous a couple of years

00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:17.740
ago with the jeans with his black shoe on the

00:24:17.740 --> 00:24:22.079
white line. And then when Mahomes said wear white

00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:25.200
shoes, he got pissed for some reason. Mahomes

00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:27.950
was right. He is, absolutely. He wasn't being

00:24:27.950 --> 00:24:30.049
a smartass. He said, wear white shoes. They won't

00:24:30.049 --> 00:24:33.690
be able to tell. Oh, that's good. Yeah. Let's

00:24:33.690 --> 00:24:37.269
see. And then, as in college, they stop the clock

00:24:37.269 --> 00:24:39.509
on a first down so they can reset the down markers,

00:24:39.670 --> 00:24:41.869
which will help make the game last a little longer,

00:24:41.970 --> 00:24:43.930
especially in under two minutes. Well, they want

00:24:43.930 --> 00:24:46.450
people to have time to hit that bet button. Plus,

00:24:47.269 --> 00:24:49.670
no more tush -push in the UFL. You know what?

00:24:49.690 --> 00:24:51.529
I agree with that 100%. I agree, too. It's a

00:24:51.529 --> 00:24:53.390
dead play. It's done. It's another dead play.

00:24:53.490 --> 00:24:55.569
And also, it's off sides. It's been proven. Yeah.

00:24:56.029 --> 00:24:59.069
It was taken from rugby, I believe. Oh, yeah.

00:24:59.410 --> 00:25:02.410
Or, yeah, the scrum. The scrum, yeah. The scrum,

00:25:02.410 --> 00:25:04.589
that's it. And that's actually where we got the

00:25:04.589 --> 00:25:06.670
name line of scrimmage, because it used to be

00:25:06.670 --> 00:25:08.950
called the line of scrummage. Scrummage. Because

00:25:08.950 --> 00:25:10.829
the scrum would happen right there on that line,

00:25:10.890 --> 00:25:13.230
so it got modified to scrimmage. I think scrum

00:25:13.230 --> 00:25:15.910
became somewhat of a cuss word for a while. Yeah.

00:25:16.170 --> 00:25:19.269
Oh, look at this scrum in here. So I think that's

00:25:19.269 --> 00:25:21.630
when they started going, okay, it's scrimmage

00:25:21.630 --> 00:25:27.630
now. It's not scrum. Yeah. So, anyhow. They got

00:25:27.630 --> 00:25:31.069
some new teams in the UFL. New stadiums. They're

00:25:31.069 --> 00:25:32.990
not doing them all out of one or two stadiums

00:25:32.990 --> 00:25:34.529
now. In fact, one of the ones that I watched

00:25:34.529 --> 00:25:36.809
the replay of, it was sold out. The stadium was

00:25:36.809 --> 00:25:39.190
sold out. Which is, I don't know, that happens

00:25:39.190 --> 00:25:40.950
all that often in the NFL. I don't think so,

00:25:41.009 --> 00:25:43.130
but I think that's going to be to where every

00:25:43.130 --> 00:25:44.750
new market, they're probably going to be giving

00:25:44.750 --> 00:25:47.769
away promotionary tickets to, probably to like

00:25:47.769 --> 00:25:50.730
corporations and stuff. And going, hey, thanks

00:25:50.730 --> 00:25:52.329
for doing business with us here. Take you and

00:25:52.329 --> 00:25:54.869
your family, go to see the Octopuses game or

00:25:54.869 --> 00:25:56.569
whatever their name is. And it makes perfect

00:25:56.569 --> 00:25:59.329
sense. I mean, would you rather have 15 ,000

00:25:59.329 --> 00:26:01.250
unsold seats and you just throw the tickets away?

00:26:01.740 --> 00:26:03.259
Or do you want to give those tickets away and

00:26:03.259 --> 00:26:05.099
those people show up and buy concessions and

00:26:05.099 --> 00:26:07.000
merchandise? Oh, I'd rather give the tickets

00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:08.880
away. Yeah, give the tickets away rather than

00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:11.960
just burn them. Yeah, bands that really can't

00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:14.640
sell like they think they can, like Motley Crue

00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:16.740
allegedly and stuff like that, they end up doing

00:26:16.740 --> 00:26:21.259
$20 tickets. Or I actually got into a couple

00:26:21.259 --> 00:26:23.920
of concerts. Because they're just still giveaways.

00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:27.720
Yeah. This is on an online radio station. And

00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:30.799
Black Sabbath, the reunion with Ozzy when they

00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:34.099
came through in 2014, I believe. Yeah. I was

00:26:34.099 --> 00:26:37.160
actually in line when I won the tickets through

00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:40.519
this online radio station called knac .com. Wow.

00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:44.140
And my brother, he goes. Fine, we'll just sell

00:26:44.140 --> 00:26:45.660
your tickets. I'm like, what do you mean? He

00:26:45.660 --> 00:26:47.660
goes, yeah. He goes, just go, hey, I got a ticket

00:26:47.660 --> 00:26:50.720
for sale. So I said, let's go to Will Call first.

00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:53.319
Make sure we got these tickets. Oh, yeah. And

00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:56.279
they did. It was legit, and they were great seats.

00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:59.819
And I just won them. And that was probably through

00:26:59.819 --> 00:27:03.119
the promoter saying, hey, you know, we need to

00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:04.920
get more people in here to buy beers. And we

00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:07.220
did. We bought beers with extra money. Why not?

00:27:07.259 --> 00:27:09.900
We both sold our tickets for $80 each at the

00:27:09.900 --> 00:27:12.220
front. Right there, we walked the person up to

00:27:12.220 --> 00:27:15.369
the front. to make sure they were real. Guy said,

00:27:15.430 --> 00:27:17.529
yep, it's real. Gave us 80 bucks, we gave him

00:27:17.529 --> 00:27:20.250
the ticket. And it worked out well. But no, they

00:27:20.250 --> 00:27:22.470
do stuff like that all the time, and the UFL

00:27:22.470 --> 00:27:26.109
should do it too. Yeah, yeah. And bands are doing

00:27:26.109 --> 00:27:29.269
that too. A lot of bands that aren't big mainstream.

00:27:30.329 --> 00:27:32.470
they get the majority of their money from merchandise

00:27:32.470 --> 00:27:35.170
sale. So they're happy to show up at a place

00:27:35.170 --> 00:27:38.609
and play for either free or like a buck a head

00:27:38.609 --> 00:27:40.289
to get in. Well, a lot of these festivals, that's

00:27:40.289 --> 00:27:41.829
what it is. It's like, all right, you're going

00:27:41.829 --> 00:27:44.109
to have your tent over here, and you're going

00:27:44.109 --> 00:27:46.049
to have three different types of t -shirts, and

00:27:46.049 --> 00:27:48.750
every beer sold during your show, you're going

00:27:48.750 --> 00:27:52.069
to get a quarter or whatever. I had some gigs

00:27:52.069 --> 00:27:54.329
like that where we got a percentage of the door

00:27:54.329 --> 00:27:57.329
and a percentage of the bar during the hours

00:27:57.329 --> 00:28:00.089
we were supposed to be playing. But we got screwed

00:28:00.089 --> 00:28:01.869
on that every single time. They always do that.

00:28:01.970 --> 00:28:03.930
There was a time the place was packed, and the

00:28:03.930 --> 00:28:06.589
guy tried to tell us that only 50 people showed

00:28:06.589 --> 00:28:09.009
up, and they didn't drink much beer. It was like,

00:28:09.089 --> 00:28:11.789
asshole. But by then, there's nothing you can

00:28:11.789 --> 00:28:14.349
do. No, you already performed it. What are you

00:28:14.349 --> 00:28:16.730
going to do, go get a lawyer? Well, the way to

00:28:16.730 --> 00:28:20.029
fight that is to get a union card. But then those

00:28:20.029 --> 00:28:22.190
bars won't hire you. No, they won't. You're right.

00:28:23.150 --> 00:28:26.880
Oh, well. All right, anyhow, go ahead. We were

00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:32.259
talking about the NFL. So it really seems like

00:28:32.259 --> 00:28:35.279
the NFL is trying to develop that as either a

00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:38.140
minor league or a developmental league. ESPN

00:28:38.140 --> 00:28:40.660
is showing a lot of the games, flexing some of

00:28:40.660 --> 00:28:43.559
them off to Fox, flexing some of them off into

00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:47.160
the NFL Network, and they're playing the same

00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:50.380
bump music that they lay on the... NFL games,

00:28:50.539 --> 00:28:52.519
dum -da -da -dum -da -da -dum -da -da -dum -dum

00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:54.720
-dum. You know, it's like, oh, football Sunday.

00:28:54.859 --> 00:28:57.279
Oh, no way, the UFL. Well, that's a brilliant

00:28:57.279 --> 00:28:59.779
idea, number one. It is, yeah. Number two, I

00:28:59.779 --> 00:29:01.440
could see it becoming a minor league because

00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:06.200
it needs to. On the sideline of the UFL game,

00:29:06.380 --> 00:29:11.519
I saw a lighted scroll using the term red zone,

00:29:11.619 --> 00:29:13.579
but it was two words instead of a single word.

00:29:14.700 --> 00:29:17.740
ESPN owns the rights to the word red zone. They

00:29:17.740 --> 00:29:21.599
bought it from the NFL. And then I looked in

00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:26.019
my Dish Network programming, and channel 155

00:29:26.019 --> 00:29:29.059
is supposed to be NFL Red Zone. It's not there

00:29:29.059 --> 00:29:32.900
anymore. Channel 155 is there, and the abbreviation

00:29:32.900 --> 00:29:35.680
NFLRZ is still there next to the numbers, but

00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:40.160
the description says sign off. That's all there

00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:42.759
is to it. That's it? So I think ESPN is taking

00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:45.930
the whole. The red zone concept is probably going

00:29:45.930 --> 00:29:47.609
to be on an ESPN channel this year. That's probably

00:29:47.609 --> 00:29:51.589
why they bought it, was they need that. The red

00:29:51.589 --> 00:29:55.029
zone is a really, really good term that people

00:29:55.029 --> 00:29:57.549
understand. It's like, oh, he's in the red zone.

00:29:57.809 --> 00:29:59.670
Whenever you say red zone, people turn their

00:29:59.670 --> 00:30:03.509
heads. It's like, oh, it's time to watch. But

00:30:03.509 --> 00:30:07.849
I think if you say it as two words, red space

00:30:07.849 --> 00:30:11.009
zone, I think you can still use that anywhere

00:30:11.009 --> 00:30:14.589
you want. your tachometer in your car has a red

00:30:14.589 --> 00:30:17.829
zone. But if it's all one word, red zone, that

00:30:17.829 --> 00:30:20.369
applies to football, I think, specifically. Yeah,

00:30:20.410 --> 00:30:22.650
I think you're right. You can still get around

00:30:22.650 --> 00:30:28.470
it, but... Good old lawyers. Yeah. Yep. So, all

00:30:28.470 --> 00:30:31.269
right. I can't think of much else that I've seen

00:30:31.269 --> 00:30:35.130
happening on the football front. Well, I have

00:30:35.130 --> 00:30:37.309
some other football stories here. Good, good.

00:30:37.309 --> 00:30:40.069
I just had miscellaneous stories. Yeah. Then

00:30:40.069 --> 00:30:42.069
we can go into the alternative universe. Yeah.

00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:44.299
Another train coming. I'm not exactly sure where

00:30:44.299 --> 00:30:47.940
the tracks are, but I certainly hear them. All

00:30:47.940 --> 00:30:52.720
right. Here are some of what people believe the

00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:55.579
chiefs are looking at in the draft. Okay. Okay.

00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:58.480
And this would be like the usual suspects, the

00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:01.440
people, you know, the draft people. Yeah. And

00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:03.640
this is just a compilation of the ones that seem

00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:05.859
to make somewhat sense. There's some of them

00:31:05.859 --> 00:31:10.970
like... Jordan, Jeremiah Love. No, no, no. Jordan

00:31:10.970 --> 00:31:14.130
Connor keeps coming up as a pass rusher, an edge

00:31:14.130 --> 00:31:16.309
rusher that they want to get from the Saints.

00:31:16.890 --> 00:31:20.230
He's 36, though, and you already have an older

00:31:20.230 --> 00:31:22.230
edge rusher. I don't know if you want to do it.

00:31:22.269 --> 00:31:25.730
But people seem to like that idea. Me, I'm kind

00:31:25.730 --> 00:31:27.970
of neutral. I don't know. I'm not so sure. Yeah,

00:31:27.970 --> 00:31:30.869
at the age of 36, man, that's getting up there

00:31:30.869 --> 00:31:32.930
for a football player, especially an edge rusher.

00:31:33.029 --> 00:31:37.109
Yeah, it is. All right, well, the Kansas City

00:31:37.109 --> 00:31:39.710
have taken much -needed steps in revamping their

00:31:39.710 --> 00:31:41.950
running backs for even this offseason. They could

00:31:41.950 --> 00:31:44.650
add a longtime AOC rival to help bolster the

00:31:44.650 --> 00:31:47.630
wide receiver position. According to Mike Morales

00:31:47.630 --> 00:31:50.509
of the Sporting News, the Chiefs are possibly

00:31:50.509 --> 00:31:52.930
in the market for veteran free agent receiver

00:31:52.930 --> 00:31:57.130
Stephon Diggs. Oh, God. Now, the Sporting News

00:31:57.130 --> 00:31:59.829
guy, I've never heard of him before. It's important

00:31:59.829 --> 00:32:03.470
to note that. Yeah, yeah. And nobody knows where

00:32:03.470 --> 00:32:06.240
he got his information from. And this could just

00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:09.380
be bait to try to get people outraged and yelling

00:32:09.380 --> 00:32:11.759
and screaming. This could be very easily, but

00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:14.980
it bared mention because I was doing this possible

00:32:14.980 --> 00:32:19.000
acquisitions. But this is the only report I've

00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:21.319
heard on this, which gives me a red flag. Yeah.

00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:25.460
So anyhow, this is what he's saying. And if it

00:32:25.460 --> 00:32:27.819
doesn't work out, the guy can always go, yeah,

00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:30.319
they couldn't get it figured out. Yeah. And then,

00:32:30.339 --> 00:32:32.180
you know, he's still, he could be right. Who

00:32:32.180 --> 00:32:36.339
knows? All right. He'd been involved in many

00:32:36.339 --> 00:32:38.519
battles against the Chiefs, and they know him

00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:41.519
well, especially with the Buffalo Bills. And

00:32:41.519 --> 00:32:43.759
supposedly that's part of the thought process

00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:45.700
is to get him off the market, get him over here.

00:32:45.740 --> 00:32:47.920
He already knows us. And that's a good point.

00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:50.160
And the Chiefs are accustomed to playing against

00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:52.460
him so they would have a better idea of his capabilities

00:32:52.460 --> 00:32:54.819
and his health information. If this is true,

00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:57.160
then that's what it is. They're like, we know

00:32:57.160 --> 00:32:59.099
this guy can still do it, and we think we can.

00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:02.599
I mean, you're talking about a guy that got Michael

00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:05.190
Vick. You're talking about a guy that took. problem

00:33:05.190 --> 00:33:08.009
children, and pretty much straighten him out.

00:33:08.089 --> 00:33:10.730
I mean, you know, on a lot of levels. I mean,

00:33:10.750 --> 00:33:13.309
he's done this a lot. And I'm talking about Andy

00:33:13.309 --> 00:33:15.809
Reid. I'm just remembering when Schottenheimer

00:33:15.809 --> 00:33:17.890
and Carl Peterson started bringing in the bad

00:33:17.890 --> 00:33:20.650
boys of the NFL and what an utter mess that made

00:33:20.650 --> 00:33:23.599
the team. It just destroyed the team. Yeah. You

00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:25.579
had, like, what was it? Bam Morris was driving

00:33:25.579 --> 00:33:29.220
back from Texas with a car full of weed. Yeah,

00:33:29.259 --> 00:33:31.440
they called him Bong Morris. Or I think as Jim

00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:33.180
Rome, they called him Bong Morris. Bong Morris,

00:33:33.339 --> 00:33:36.039
yeah. And then, see, you had another person who

00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:38.859
was involved in a stolen car ring. Yeah. And

00:33:38.859 --> 00:33:41.380
then you had Andre Rison that was going out and

00:33:41.380 --> 00:33:43.279
getting into fights, wasn't he? Or Spider -Man.

00:33:43.299 --> 00:33:45.220
Somebody was getting into fights. I think it

00:33:45.220 --> 00:33:46.779
was Bad Moon, but there were some other ones,

00:33:46.900 --> 00:33:50.920
too. Larry Johnson, very famously, was a complete

00:33:50.920 --> 00:33:53.490
dickhead. He couldn't stop punching women. I

00:33:53.490 --> 00:33:55.609
mean, he specifically was caught punching women

00:33:55.609 --> 00:33:58.490
over and over. He really seemed to enjoy punching

00:33:58.490 --> 00:34:01.289
women, which is problematic. Yeah. Very problematic.

00:34:01.289 --> 00:34:03.730
Now, he's turned it all around, and he's a completely

00:34:03.730 --> 00:34:06.109
different guy now. And God bless him. I think

00:34:06.109 --> 00:34:07.789
that's great. Yeah, good for him. But back then,

00:34:07.910 --> 00:34:11.769
man, he was awful. Oh, he was. He was. And as

00:34:11.769 --> 00:34:13.570
soon as he stopped performing on the field is

00:34:13.570 --> 00:34:15.949
when they got rid of him, which, you know. That

00:34:15.949 --> 00:34:17.550
was the only thing keeping him here is because

00:34:17.550 --> 00:34:21.829
he was outperforming Priest Holmes. Yeah, Priest

00:34:21.829 --> 00:34:26.730
Holmes. Priest Mahomes. Now, I would like to

00:34:26.730 --> 00:34:29.809
see a little bit of Priest Holmes in him. I mean,

00:34:29.809 --> 00:34:31.369
not the injury, but I'm talking about the guy

00:34:31.369 --> 00:34:35.030
that we had before that could run like nuts before

00:34:35.030 --> 00:34:36.789
he injured himself. Oh, that would be great.

00:34:36.909 --> 00:34:38.670
It's hard to remember that he came from Baltimore.

00:34:38.710 --> 00:34:42.619
He did because they had Jamal Lewis. They had

00:34:42.619 --> 00:34:45.320
two running backs that could get close to 2 ,000.

00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:48.260
Jamal Lewis got 2 ,000 yards on a couple of seasons,

00:34:48.440 --> 00:34:51.719
but he didn't last long. And he was a huge guy,

00:34:51.780 --> 00:34:55.039
too. Yeah. And the Falcons had some guy named

00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:58.539
Jamal Anderson, I think, who had enormous thighs.

00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:01.159
I mean, the thighs on that guy were like two

00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:02.679
of anybody else's. He reminded me of Barry Sanders.

00:35:02.780 --> 00:35:04.679
His thighs were so big. I mean, they're like

00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:07.559
the size of fucking warships. I mean, they're

00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:10.239
like huge fucking thighs. Yeah. Which means that

00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:12.480
he could run, and it's hard to stop him. Yeah.

00:35:12.500 --> 00:35:14.800
Hard to get him on the ground. Not necessarily

00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:17.800
a fast explosive push, but when he pushed with

00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:20.079
those thigh muscles, you weren't going to stop

00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:22.139
him. No. He was going to get two or three extra

00:35:22.139 --> 00:35:24.119
yards. I would like to know how much force that

00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:26.239
was whenever he pushed off with those thighs.

00:35:26.699 --> 00:35:31.280
Good question. Yeah. Damn. Yeah. All right. The

00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:33.179
Chiefs are another team that needs to add a wide

00:35:33.179 --> 00:35:35.699
receiver. Their group is currently headlined

00:35:35.699 --> 00:35:38.800
by Rasheed Rice, who is facing more legal trouble.

00:35:38.980 --> 00:35:41.659
And Xavier Worthy, who is coming off a disappointing

00:35:41.659 --> 00:35:46.940
season, is still considered unproven. Yeah. And

00:35:46.940 --> 00:35:50.760
this is what Moradis wrote, this guy. So, all

00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:55.690
right. Here is a compilation. Edge rushers, they're

00:35:55.690 --> 00:35:57.829
top targets the Chiefs are looking at, and I

00:35:57.829 --> 00:36:01.010
think this will depend on who's there. So in

00:36:01.010 --> 00:36:04.610
Texas Tech, I mean, you know, Mahomes is familiar

00:36:04.610 --> 00:36:07.070
with it, so he may want to go that way, but I

00:36:07.070 --> 00:36:09.349
don't know if he's the best choice because Bain,

00:36:09.489 --> 00:36:11.929
Reuben Bain Jr. might be a better choice, but

00:36:11.929 --> 00:36:14.030
I don't know. Edge rushers, top targets, David

00:36:14.030 --> 00:36:17.349
Bailey, Texas Tech, considered an intriguing

00:36:17.349 --> 00:36:20.369
option who can single -handedly wreck offenses,

00:36:20.429 --> 00:36:24.369
offering high sack potential. Nice. So, yeah,

00:36:24.670 --> 00:36:27.030
I do like him, and I did bother to look up some

00:36:27.030 --> 00:36:31.429
of his stats and his work, and I think he's very

00:36:31.429 --> 00:36:34.150
– I think there's something there, yes. Good

00:36:34.150 --> 00:36:37.610
deal. Reuben Bain, Jr., who I referred to a little

00:36:37.610 --> 00:36:40.550
bit ago, a technical fit for defensive coordinator

00:36:40.550 --> 00:36:43.829
Steve Spagnuolo, though his short arm length,

00:36:44.030 --> 00:36:46.590
31 inches, is a concern, but so was Mahomes'

00:36:46.730 --> 00:36:51.070
footwork. I mean, look, his arm length I don't

00:36:51.070 --> 00:36:54.289
think really – what you got to look at is quickness

00:36:54.289 --> 00:36:57.250
and coming off of the ball that's true i mean

00:36:57.250 --> 00:37:00.190
that extra reach helps but not all that often

00:37:00.190 --> 00:37:02.690
what helps more than that is when he does make

00:37:02.690 --> 00:37:05.429
contact having the grip strength to not let go

00:37:05.429 --> 00:37:08.050
yes that's not any more important than having

00:37:08.050 --> 00:37:11.409
a couple extra inches of reach and the uh i would

00:37:11.409 --> 00:37:14.530
like to know how far off arm length are we talking

00:37:15.289 --> 00:37:18.070
I mean, are we talking inches? Are we talking,

00:37:18.150 --> 00:37:20.030
you know what I mean? Like, are we talking like

00:37:20.030 --> 00:37:22.469
one or two inches or are we talking like six

00:37:22.469 --> 00:37:26.070
or seven? Well, typically a person with their

00:37:26.070 --> 00:37:29.110
arms outstretched to the side will be as wide

00:37:29.110 --> 00:37:32.449
as they are tall. So that sounds about right.

00:37:32.489 --> 00:37:36.289
So with a 31 inch wingspan, that means 61 inches

00:37:36.289 --> 00:37:38.630
overall, which is like five feet, one inches.

00:37:39.869 --> 00:37:41.710
But I don't know if they're counting his chest,

00:37:41.849 --> 00:37:43.630
too. I mean, if it's just his arms themselves.

00:37:43.650 --> 00:37:46.730
I don't know. If he's 6 '5", you'd expect him

00:37:46.730 --> 00:37:51.989
to have a reach of half that. Yeah. So, yeah,

00:37:52.070 --> 00:37:55.150
we'll see. I mean, actually, after reading this,

00:37:55.269 --> 00:37:58.010
and I did not look at Bain Jr. I was familiar

00:37:58.010 --> 00:38:01.730
with him just because college plays a lot of

00:38:01.730 --> 00:38:05.949
Miami's games. Yeah. And he looks good. It seems

00:38:05.949 --> 00:38:07.429
like a lot of people are looking at him, too.

00:38:07.690 --> 00:38:09.489
Yes, they are. There may be some people trading

00:38:09.489 --> 00:38:12.190
up, and he's gone. Maybe David Bailey will be

00:38:12.190 --> 00:38:14.809
the guy we go, or we could trade down. I will

00:38:14.809 --> 00:38:17.969
not put that out of the Chiefs. Yeah, I would

00:38:17.969 --> 00:38:20.210
like to see them trade out of that number nine

00:38:20.210 --> 00:38:22.469
if there's not somebody who's clearly a number

00:38:22.469 --> 00:38:24.449
nine pick. You have to have the number nine pick.

00:38:24.530 --> 00:38:26.030
You can't go, well, all right, I guess we'll

00:38:26.030 --> 00:38:28.260
just go ahead and get Jeremiah Love. No. None

00:38:28.260 --> 00:38:30.920
of that. It's like trade out. Get a couple more,

00:38:31.059 --> 00:38:33.619
get one for next year. Well, he won't be there

00:38:33.619 --> 00:38:36.159
in our next pick, so we better get him now. No.

00:38:36.500 --> 00:38:39.199
No, no, no. The Chiefs did that a few times,

00:38:39.199 --> 00:38:41.900
not under Reid, but they did that a few times.

00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:44.579
You wind up reaching for every single player

00:38:44.579 --> 00:38:46.500
when you do that. Yes, you do. And that was one

00:38:46.500 --> 00:38:48.199
of their problems is they used to do that. Yeah.

00:38:48.519 --> 00:38:53.730
So, all right. Reuben Bain Jr. fits Spagnuolo,

00:38:53.869 --> 00:38:55.809
but that doesn't mean anything, you know, because

00:38:55.809 --> 00:38:57.769
Spagnuolo can work with anybody. This is true.

00:38:57.849 --> 00:39:01.030
And put them in his system. So, Colonel Tate,

00:39:01.150 --> 00:39:04.590
a consensus top wideout prospect, consistently

00:39:04.590 --> 00:39:09.010
mocked to KC to fit and fix a receiver depth.

00:39:10.050 --> 00:39:12.570
Makai Lemon, a quarterback -friendly option,

00:39:12.650 --> 00:39:14.469
prays for his route running and ball skills.

00:39:15.449 --> 00:39:18.250
Jordan Tyson, a high -riser noted for his potential

00:39:18.250 --> 00:39:21.440
if medical reports are clear. Notes in New York

00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:25.900
Times. And then Mansoor Delane, or Delaney, whichever,

00:39:26.199 --> 00:39:29.159
he is viewed as a lockdown cornerback and an

00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:31.639
option to bolster the secondary, who I think

00:39:31.639 --> 00:39:34.400
might be more of an option on the table than

00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:37.039
people think. Yeah, yeah. Especially if everyone

00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:39.139
else is taken. If they think that much of him

00:39:39.139 --> 00:39:43.219
being a lockdown corner and you do get Legereus

00:39:43.219 --> 00:39:46.559
back, suddenly you're looking at a possible very

00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:50.860
potent. Secondary, yeah. Defense, too. Yeah,

00:39:50.900 --> 00:39:53.059
and defense also. It is odd for the Chiefs to

00:39:53.059 --> 00:39:55.699
draft a corner that high, but they do have good

00:39:55.699 --> 00:39:57.860
luck drafting corners. Yeah, they do. They're

00:39:57.860 --> 00:39:59.980
really good at drafting corners. Yeah, and developing

00:39:59.980 --> 00:40:02.900
them. Well, that's the thing is they take people

00:40:02.900 --> 00:40:04.559
with talent and they know how to develop them.

00:40:04.599 --> 00:40:06.760
And Spagnuolo, I have to give him credit. Him

00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:13.219
and his whole coaching crew, they're brilliant

00:40:13.219 --> 00:40:17.070
at it, obviously. Now, the Chiefs. do tend to

00:40:17.070 --> 00:40:19.190
get rid of cornerbacks when they start costing

00:40:19.190 --> 00:40:20.789
him too much money because they always figure

00:40:20.789 --> 00:40:22.050
they can find the next person. They always find

00:40:22.050 --> 00:40:23.949
more in the third and fourth round. But there

00:40:23.949 --> 00:40:25.630
are positions where they stick with somebody

00:40:25.630 --> 00:40:27.190
like Mahomes. They're never going to let him

00:40:27.190 --> 00:40:32.409
go. Kelsey, they never let him go. I would like

00:40:32.409 --> 00:40:36.389
to see if they draft a cornerback high to just

00:40:36.389 --> 00:40:40.750
go all in, and if he starts being your franchise

00:40:40.750 --> 00:40:43.150
corner, commit to keeping him for the rest of

00:40:43.150 --> 00:40:45.760
his career. I think it depends on the timing

00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:48.940
because you have these other contracts like Mahomes

00:40:48.940 --> 00:40:52.239
you have to fulfill. So if it comes down to Mahomes

00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:56.039
or a nice cornerback, well, I'd go Mahomes. Good

00:40:56.039 --> 00:40:58.760
point. All this is just going to be however it

00:40:58.760 --> 00:41:01.559
lands in the future. Yeah, it's all going to

00:41:01.559 --> 00:41:04.280
keep changing day by day. So that was reported

00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:07.199
by Fox 4 KC. Caleb Downs, a safety considered

00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:09.920
if the team pivots to a defensive playmaker,

00:41:10.059 --> 00:41:13.739
notes the New York Times. Spencer Fano, I think

00:41:13.739 --> 00:41:16.099
probably Fano, a potential option to solidify

00:41:16.099 --> 00:41:19.619
offensive line. And that was from Fox 4 KC, too.

00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:23.199
Based on draft analytics, the Chiefs are focused

00:41:23.199 --> 00:41:26.019
on adding immediate impact players on defense

00:41:26.019 --> 00:41:28.960
or finding a primary target for quarterback Patrick

00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:32.300
Mahomes for New York Times. And if I was a Chiefs,

00:41:32.300 --> 00:41:33.940
I would like... to them anyhow, so who knows.

00:41:35.199 --> 00:41:40.780
So, is it a top priority for you to see the Chiefs

00:41:40.780 --> 00:41:43.480
draft a new weapon for Patrick Mahomes over upgrading

00:41:43.480 --> 00:41:45.699
the defense, or do you think upgrading the defense

00:41:45.699 --> 00:41:49.980
is over getting Mahomes more help? That's a tough

00:41:49.980 --> 00:41:53.380
question. I think I'm going to say get him another

00:41:53.380 --> 00:41:55.070
weapon. I think so, too. Because that was lacking

00:41:55.070 --> 00:41:57.750
so much last year, and it was such a big effect

00:41:57.750 --> 00:42:00.849
on the offense last year. Well, we spoke about

00:42:00.849 --> 00:42:03.030
this earlier, and we believe that they can draft

00:42:03.030 --> 00:42:08.769
well enough to get around that. So, I mean, in

00:42:08.769 --> 00:42:10.829
third and fourth round. Oh, yeah. So, I'm with

00:42:10.829 --> 00:42:14.050
you. I'm the same way. I'm like, you know. But

00:42:14.050 --> 00:42:17.150
the fast, tall, sure -handed receivers are going

00:42:17.150 --> 00:42:19.210
to go in the first round, late, early second

00:42:19.210 --> 00:42:22.130
round. So you can't wait until the third round

00:42:22.130 --> 00:42:24.409
to get one of them. No. Unless he was injured

00:42:24.409 --> 00:42:26.869
half his college career. That's a great point,

00:42:26.949 --> 00:42:29.530
too, is someone, a difference maker like that,

00:42:29.610 --> 00:42:33.730
you're not going to get that any earlier. No.

00:42:33.730 --> 00:42:35.630
No, that's just the way it is. You'll get tall

00:42:35.630 --> 00:42:37.650
guys with bad hands or short guys with great

00:42:37.650 --> 00:42:43.369
hands. Yeah, or bad minds or questionable. questionable

00:42:43.369 --> 00:42:46.389
habits yeah stuff like that super fast but can't

00:42:46.389 --> 00:42:48.150
remember what route he's supposed to run all

00:42:48.150 --> 00:42:49.849
that kind of those are your third and fourth

00:42:49.849 --> 00:42:52.289
rounders those guys yes yeah when you get somebody

00:42:52.289 --> 00:42:55.670
wide receiver in those later mid to later rounds

00:42:55.670 --> 00:43:00.469
you got to figure their project yeah well i mean

00:43:00.469 --> 00:43:02.449
this place i didn't think it'd be that busy but

00:43:02.449 --> 00:43:04.570
it's actually less busy than i thought it's probably

00:43:04.570 --> 00:43:08.150
because of the weather yeah yeah It'll probably

00:43:08.150 --> 00:43:10.389
pick up a little bit. I think this is an old

00:43:10.389 --> 00:43:13.210
train bridge, the first one ever built in the

00:43:13.210 --> 00:43:16.949
Midwest. Was it 1902? I believe so. Yeah. Yep.

00:43:17.150 --> 00:43:19.250
The coming of the railroad. Yep. That's what

00:43:19.250 --> 00:43:21.030
they called that era. They used to drive cattle

00:43:21.030 --> 00:43:23.369
across the bridge, too. Yes, they did. We're

00:43:23.369 --> 00:43:25.610
near the stockyards on the Missouri side. Yep.

00:43:25.750 --> 00:43:28.050
This is where the cattle used to stop for a cigarette.

00:43:28.150 --> 00:43:31.449
Yeah. Right here. It's pretty cool. They have

00:43:31.449 --> 00:43:35.050
a lot of old photos of them smoking. Usually

00:43:35.050 --> 00:43:41.630
Marlboro. Yes, yes, yes. And no cheesecake vaping.

00:43:41.630 --> 00:43:44.369
No cheesecake vaping. These cows were tough.

00:43:44.730 --> 00:43:48.030
They were big John Wayne fans. As a matter of

00:43:48.030 --> 00:43:50.730
fact, they did great impressions of him. They

00:43:50.730 --> 00:43:53.050
did, yeah. He kind of walked like him, too. Yeah,

00:43:53.050 --> 00:43:54.690
he did. Rolled him side to side. What kind of

00:43:54.690 --> 00:43:57.369
monkey fuck bullshit are we going on around here,

00:43:57.550 --> 00:44:00.889
son? I don't think I ever recall seeing a girl

00:44:00.889 --> 00:44:05.780
like you around here. I'm a guy! It's funny,

00:44:05.940 --> 00:44:07.739
I think the only cuss word I ever heard John

00:44:07.739 --> 00:44:10.420
Wayne say was son of a bitch. I think that's

00:44:10.420 --> 00:44:12.880
about it. I don't think he ever dropped an F

00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:14.960
-bomb or anything like that. Not on screen, anyway.

00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:16.340
You never know about real life. It would be funny

00:44:16.340 --> 00:44:18.940
to hear him say the see you next Tuesday. Well,

00:44:19.099 --> 00:44:20.860
I think everyone's just a see you next Tuesday.

00:44:20.960 --> 00:44:23.539
What? Oh, my gosh. Is that really John Wayne?

00:44:23.719 --> 00:44:26.960
That couldn't be. He doesn't say that. You bet

00:44:26.960 --> 00:44:29.380
your damn right ankle I do. You're damn right.

00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:34.300
Sam Houston is going on here, fellas. So, all

00:44:34.300 --> 00:44:37.539
right. All right, Topher, let's turn it to you.

00:44:37.579 --> 00:44:40.980
You got something? Yeah, let me. That's all my

00:44:40.980 --> 00:44:46.139
football stuff. Okay. I want to talk about cicada

00:44:46.139 --> 00:44:50.579
COVID. Okay. That's probably what you had the

00:44:50.579 --> 00:44:53.539
other day was cicada COVID. Probably was. All

00:44:53.539 --> 00:44:55.179
right. You're a nasty little bastard. I know

00:44:55.179 --> 00:44:58.139
that. So. It's getting an ass spanking, by the

00:44:58.139 --> 00:45:00.590
way. It is. It's getting pedaling, yes. So there's

00:45:00.590 --> 00:45:04.289
a new variant of the COVID -19 called BA -3 .2,

00:45:04.369 --> 00:45:06.530
which has circulated under the radar since late

00:45:06.530 --> 00:45:09.429
2024, and it's now spreading quickly across the

00:45:09.429 --> 00:45:11.369
United States. Okay, then that's probably what

00:45:11.369 --> 00:45:13.730
I got. I think after every sentence, you should

00:45:13.730 --> 00:45:16.690
think in your mind, allegedly. Allegedly. After

00:45:16.690 --> 00:45:18.730
every sentence I read, just think in your mind,

00:45:18.789 --> 00:45:21.010
allegedly. Allegedly. Well, we do it at the first

00:45:21.010 --> 00:45:23.130
anyhow. Listen, we're not to be trusted. We say

00:45:23.130 --> 00:45:27.389
this constantly. You get what you pay for here,

00:45:27.489 --> 00:45:30.630
that's for sure. So enjoy your free. Okay, so

00:45:30.630 --> 00:45:33.989
there's no sign so far that the BA3 .2, nicknamed

00:45:33.989 --> 00:45:36.309
Cicada, is any more dangerous or causes more

00:45:36.309 --> 00:45:39.190
severe symptoms than the variants that are currently

00:45:39.190 --> 00:45:43.010
circulating in the winter of 2025 to 2026. But

00:45:43.010 --> 00:45:45.230
because it's significantly different from them,

00:45:45.269 --> 00:45:48.090
the current COVID -19 vaccine may not be as effective

00:45:48.090 --> 00:45:50.690
against it. Big surprise, they want you to take

00:45:50.690 --> 00:45:57.199
another shot. Oh, nice. Big surprise there. I'm

00:45:57.199 --> 00:45:59.639
sorry. Anything Bill Gates has to do, I'm running

00:45:59.639 --> 00:46:02.900
the fuck away from. I'm kidding. The first U

00:46:02.900 --> 00:46:05.159
.S. case was detected in a traveler coming into

00:46:05.159 --> 00:46:08.000
the U .S. in June 2025. Since then, it has been

00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:10.460
detected in patients and the wastewater systems

00:46:10.460 --> 00:46:13.280
of 29 states. Oh, okay. Turns out wastewater

00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:15.679
monitoring is one of the best early methods of

00:46:15.679 --> 00:46:18.539
detecting the strain shift from one strain to

00:46:18.539 --> 00:46:21.510
another. Because rather than finding people and

00:46:21.510 --> 00:46:24.190
testing them, you just test their wastewater.

00:46:24.510 --> 00:46:26.690
They pee and poop all that stuff out. You just

00:46:26.690 --> 00:46:28.349
test that. It's like, yeah, somebody in this

00:46:28.349 --> 00:46:30.690
building is infected. They used to do that actually

00:46:30.690 --> 00:46:32.489
during the height of COVID. That's how they could

00:46:32.489 --> 00:46:35.210
tell what areas had it the worst. At one time,

00:46:35.269 --> 00:46:39.630
Clinton, Missouri had a 70 % positive rate. Oh,

00:46:39.630 --> 00:46:43.440
wow. Yeah, look at it. It was crazy. They all

00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:47.420
go to the same bar downtown. The number of states

00:46:47.420 --> 00:46:50.599
submitting wastewater data to the CDC has declined

00:46:50.599 --> 00:46:53.239
since around 2022 after the height of the pandemic,

00:46:53.360 --> 00:46:56.940
as you said. And then they have the common sense

00:46:56.940 --> 00:46:59.940
steps to avoid getting or spreading COVID -19.

00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:03.239
Well, their common sense... They're common sense

00:47:03.239 --> 00:47:06.239
steps for anything. It's not just going. It's

00:47:06.239 --> 00:47:08.579
like if you've got dirt on your hands. Okay,

00:47:09.039 --> 00:47:11.099
first wash your hands after using the bathroom,

00:47:11.260 --> 00:47:13.679
before preparing food or eating, and after being

00:47:13.679 --> 00:47:14.820
in contact with a sick person. Oh, damn it, there

00:47:14.820 --> 00:47:18.179
goes my plant. I mean, isn't that true for anything?

00:47:18.539 --> 00:47:21.380
It is. No, that's what pisses me off is they

00:47:21.380 --> 00:47:24.250
state the obvious. Are people that stupid or

00:47:24.250 --> 00:47:26.670
do they just do it for filler? I think it's just

00:47:26.670 --> 00:47:29.230
filler. I think it is too. The second one, if

00:47:29.230 --> 00:47:32.130
you feel unwell, stay home. Not just to take

00:47:32.130 --> 00:47:34.289
care of yourself to prevent spreading the disease.

00:47:34.389 --> 00:47:36.909
They say that for everything and people don't

00:47:36.909 --> 00:47:39.050
do it. That's odd because when I tested positive,

00:47:39.269 --> 00:47:42.150
I sent my work a message and I don't say who

00:47:42.150 --> 00:47:43.750
they are. I love them. They're a great place

00:47:43.750 --> 00:47:46.389
to work, but I don't know how they feel about

00:47:46.389 --> 00:47:48.949
podcasts, so I don't say who they are. But they

00:47:48.949 --> 00:47:52.719
said, if you feel all right, come on in. Yeah,

00:47:52.780 --> 00:47:55.619
it's not treated as anything. No, it really isn't.

00:47:56.059 --> 00:47:58.860
And then third, go outside. Reducing your time

00:47:58.860 --> 00:48:01.119
in crowded environments reduces your chance of

00:48:01.119 --> 00:48:06.000
exposure. It's like, well, duh. Thank you, Captain

00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:08.260
Obvious. I don't know. Is pollen worse right

00:48:08.260 --> 00:48:12.159
now? Possibly. Maybe I'd rather have COVID than

00:48:12.159 --> 00:48:16.280
this pollen bullshit. I don't know. It's just...

00:48:16.650 --> 00:48:19.349
Why is it nicknamed cicada, did it say? It actually

00:48:19.349 --> 00:48:21.349
didn't say, but I kind of like cicada COVID.

00:48:21.409 --> 00:48:24.429
They said it's a variant of the Omicron. Oh,

00:48:24.489 --> 00:48:26.730
I wonder if it makes your ears buzz or something.

00:48:26.949 --> 00:48:28.710
It could be, or maybe it comes around once every

00:48:28.710 --> 00:48:32.530
17 years. Oh, that could be too. It's mating

00:48:32.530 --> 00:48:34.909
season for COVID. Yes. That's why they're making

00:48:34.909 --> 00:48:38.489
that sound. Now, one little fun fact about cicadas,

00:48:38.670 --> 00:48:42.010
you have the 7 -year and the 11 -year, the 13

00:48:42.010 --> 00:48:45.739
-year. Those are all prime numbers. How did the

00:48:45.739 --> 00:48:49.239
cicadas manage to land on prime numbers? Well,

00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:51.380
they're really good at math. I guess so. Yeah,

00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:55.239
yeah. The cicadas have been proven. They give

00:48:55.239 --> 00:48:57.460
them a little pencil and give them little things

00:48:57.460 --> 00:48:59.420
to do, and they're really good at it. I mean,

00:48:59.460 --> 00:49:01.360
a lot of them are accountants now. Yeah, that's

00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:04.559
true. I mean, it works out great. Since they're

00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:07.159
prime numbers, they're not divisible by anything

00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:10.099
other than themselves. That's true. So you very,

00:49:10.199 --> 00:49:13.739
very, very rarely get two broods of cicadas coming

00:49:13.739 --> 00:49:15.340
out in the same year. Yeah, that's true. Yeah.

00:49:16.320 --> 00:49:19.719
So somehow cicadas got that all figured out through

00:49:19.719 --> 00:49:21.880
advanced calculus and, you know, getting their

00:49:21.880 --> 00:49:24.320
little cicada abacus going. Well, I mean, you

00:49:24.320 --> 00:49:27.739
know, they do have a history of organizing very

00:49:27.739 --> 00:49:30.739
well. So, yeah, you know, they all show up at

00:49:30.739 --> 00:49:32.719
once. They all leave at once. They all make the

00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:36.440
same noise. So, yeah, you know. Anyhow, go ahead.

00:49:36.519 --> 00:49:39.519
I'm sorry. Well, that's it for the cicada COVID.

00:49:39.780 --> 00:49:41.139
If you've got something else, go ahead. I've

00:49:41.139 --> 00:49:43.119
got a couple more stories, but it can wait. I've

00:49:43.119 --> 00:49:45.579
got a story here about a man who has died from

00:49:45.579 --> 00:49:49.039
a kratom overdose while trying to avoid opioid

00:49:49.039 --> 00:49:51.980
drugs. Oh. You know, kratom is one of those things

00:49:51.980 --> 00:49:54.880
you can buy in gas stations and vape shops and

00:49:54.880 --> 00:49:59.599
stuff. What do they call that? 70H? Yeah, yeah,

00:49:59.659 --> 00:50:02.510
yeah. Yeah, that's the actual active ingredient,

00:50:02.650 --> 00:50:07.969
like THC is in marijuana, is 7 -OH. Most of the

00:50:07.969 --> 00:50:10.170
attention around gas station drugs over the last

00:50:10.170 --> 00:50:13.510
year has focused on 7 -hydroxymitragynine, also

00:50:13.510 --> 00:50:16.650
known as 7 -OH. Okay. That's the potent kratom

00:50:16.650 --> 00:50:18.650
derivative that has, in many ways, taken over

00:50:18.650 --> 00:50:21.530
the kratom market. Pills, gummies, and drinks

00:50:21.530 --> 00:50:24.210
containing it remain top sellers at Quickie Marts

00:50:24.210 --> 00:50:26.010
and smoke shops all across the country, even

00:50:26.010 --> 00:50:28.030
as the federal government has moved to ban the

00:50:28.030 --> 00:50:30.630
drug, and many cities and states already have.

00:50:30.829 --> 00:50:33.210
I prefer Come and Go. Yeah. Quickie Mart's cool,

00:50:33.289 --> 00:50:36.250
but Come and Go's better. True. You get Siapu

00:50:36.250 --> 00:50:39.909
in there. Yeah. Oh, no, he's in Quickie Mart.

00:50:40.050 --> 00:50:42.489
Oh, that is. Yeah, yeah, that's right. It was

00:50:42.489 --> 00:50:45.730
the golden blow that Marge's sisters worked at.

00:50:46.239 --> 00:50:49.460
That was it. Yeah. Gulping blow. Gulping blow.

00:50:50.099 --> 00:50:54.460
All right. 70H. Incredibly addictive. I mean,

00:50:54.480 --> 00:50:56.900
just ferociously addictive. It is several times

00:50:56.900 --> 00:51:00.179
more potent than morphine and was, until recently,

00:51:00.280 --> 00:51:03.139
almost entirely unregulated, which is, of course,

00:51:03.139 --> 00:51:05.699
why everybody jumped on it, because there's shit

00:51:05.699 --> 00:51:07.599
tons of money to be made on things that aren't

00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:09.940
regulated. Yep. You don't have to pay off anybody.

00:51:10.099 --> 00:51:13.409
You can just go do it. Yeah. The recent focus

00:51:13.409 --> 00:51:15.849
on 7 -OH obscures something else, the Kratom

00:51:15.849 --> 00:51:19.150
itself. 7 -OH is naturally present in all Kratom,

00:51:19.150 --> 00:51:22.230
but only in trace amounts. The reason 7 -OH products

00:51:22.230 --> 00:51:24.570
on the market are so potent is because manufacturers

00:51:24.570 --> 00:51:28.510
isolate, concentrate, and chemically enhance

00:51:28.510 --> 00:51:31.530
the 7 -OH, just like cigarette companies did

00:51:31.530 --> 00:51:35.309
with nicotine, to make the most pleasurable and

00:51:35.309 --> 00:51:37.889
powerful stuff inside Kratom and then press it

00:51:37.889 --> 00:51:41.170
into pills and other products. Now, there's a

00:51:41.170 --> 00:51:44.789
case where a man named David Thacker was taking

00:51:44.789 --> 00:51:50.530
Kratom for back pain. He fell off a tractor while

00:51:50.530 --> 00:51:52.449
mowing the grass along the highway for the Missouri

00:51:52.449 --> 00:51:55.110
Department of Transportation. He suffered a concussion

00:51:55.110 --> 00:51:58.969
and back injury. Chronic pain ensued, but because

00:51:58.969 --> 00:52:01.510
he lost years of his life in the past to alcoholism,

00:52:01.530 --> 00:52:03.309
he didn't want opioids. He said, I'm going to

00:52:03.309 --> 00:52:05.050
get addicted to it. I won't want opiates. Give

00:52:05.050 --> 00:52:08.630
me something else. So, he decided to try Kratom.

00:52:09.639 --> 00:52:12.380
Well, one day last year, his sister came home

00:52:12.380 --> 00:52:14.420
from the work and found him dead on the kitchen

00:52:14.420 --> 00:52:18.539
floor at age 44. The autopsy determined his cause

00:52:18.539 --> 00:52:21.219
of death to be an overdose of mitragynine, the

00:52:21.219 --> 00:52:24.400
primary alkaloid in Kratom. No other drugs were

00:52:24.400 --> 00:52:27.480
detected. So that by itself did it. That by itself.

00:52:27.519 --> 00:52:29.679
And this is the first time that they've been

00:52:29.679 --> 00:52:31.880
able to pin it directly on Kratom, because a

00:52:31.880 --> 00:52:33.880
lot of the times it was Kratom and several other

00:52:33.880 --> 00:52:35.960
things found in the bloodstream. Which gave them

00:52:35.960 --> 00:52:39.119
wiggle room, yeah. but this guy died with only

00:52:39.119 --> 00:52:42.360
that drug in his system. Okay, well, to me, that's

00:52:42.360 --> 00:52:46.219
pretty damning evidence. Now, the hub, a smoke

00:52:46.219 --> 00:52:48.940
shop on North Oak Traffic Way in Gladstone, is

00:52:48.940 --> 00:52:50.960
where he bought at least some of his Kratom.

00:52:51.400 --> 00:52:53.920
The hub is one of several defendants in the wrongful

00:52:53.920 --> 00:52:56.440
death lawsuit about David. It has five locations

00:52:56.440 --> 00:52:58.519
in the Kansas City area where it sells a wide

00:52:58.519 --> 00:53:01.860
variety of gray area intoxicants, including 70H

00:53:01.860 --> 00:53:06.579
and Kratom. The lawsuit alleges that... Thacker

00:53:06.579 --> 00:53:10.360
regularly bought Kratom there, including the

00:53:10.360 --> 00:53:12.880
red Borneo powder found near him when he died.

00:53:13.219 --> 00:53:15.639
Quote, the hub appears to be buying Kratom in

00:53:15.639 --> 00:53:18.920
bulk, mixing it themselves, repackaging it into

00:53:18.920 --> 00:53:21.420
unmarked bags, and selling it at the store, said

00:53:21.420 --> 00:53:23.800
attorney Mark Schlegel, who filed the case on

00:53:23.800 --> 00:53:26.820
behalf of Thacker's family. Quote again, there's

00:53:26.820 --> 00:53:28.980
no real labeling, no warnings, no ingredient

00:53:28.980 --> 00:53:31.579
disclosures, nothing that would comply with standard

00:53:31.579 --> 00:53:34.380
labeling requirements. Maybe write the name of

00:53:34.380 --> 00:53:37.300
the strain on the bag, but that's it. The hub's

00:53:37.300 --> 00:53:39.659
ownership structure is a maze of overlapping

00:53:39.659 --> 00:53:42.059
entities. Of course, they're trying not to get

00:53:42.059 --> 00:53:44.539
traced. Many are named in Schlegel's lawsuit.

00:53:44.639 --> 00:53:48.920
They include Vapor III LLC, Odai Alamari, Obata

00:53:48.920 --> 00:53:54.360
Mustafa, and Wellness Connect LLC. The suit also

00:53:54.360 --> 00:53:56.619
names as dependents the makers of other Kratom

00:53:56.619 --> 00:54:00.159
products found at the death scene. OPMS Kratom

00:54:00.159 --> 00:54:03.179
and Club 13. None of them could be reached for

00:54:03.179 --> 00:54:05.900
comment on this story. And none have yet filed

00:54:05.900 --> 00:54:08.519
a response in court. Of course they didn't. Yep.

00:54:10.059 --> 00:54:12.119
Hey, how you doing? I'm good, thank you. Hi.

00:54:12.199 --> 00:54:15.199
Good. Beautiful place, isn't it? It's gorgeous.

00:54:16.460 --> 00:54:18.659
Has Mike been around? Mike Zellers been around?

00:54:19.019 --> 00:54:22.019
Is who? Mike Zellers? No, we had a guy, Jeff

00:54:22.019 --> 00:54:24.519
Johnson, come up and talk to us. We had Jeff

00:54:24.519 --> 00:54:26.460
Johnson come up and talk to us, but that's it.

00:54:30.280 --> 00:54:36.199
I'll find another story here. Black flies. Oh,

00:54:36.199 --> 00:54:39.699
okay. Residents of the San Gabriel Valley in

00:54:39.699 --> 00:54:41.940
California are contending with a dramatic surge

00:54:41.940 --> 00:54:44.559
in black flies, a painful little pest known for

00:54:44.559 --> 00:54:46.860
biting around the eyes and necks of people and

00:54:46.860 --> 00:54:51.900
pets. Nasty little critters. The San Gabriel

00:54:51.900 --> 00:54:53.980
Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District.

00:54:54.670 --> 00:54:56.349
issued a warning this week advising residents

00:54:56.349 --> 00:54:59.110
of a spike in blackfly activity in the foothill

00:54:59.110 --> 00:55:01.869
communities including Altadena, Azusa, Bradbury,

00:55:02.070 --> 00:55:05.349
Duarte, Glendora, Monrovia, San Dimas, and Sierra

00:55:05.349 --> 00:55:08.969
Madre. So it's all over in California? All over,

00:55:09.070 --> 00:55:12.489
yeah. Well, the San Gabriel Valley. Oh, okay.

00:55:12.510 --> 00:55:14.530
All up and down the San Gabriel Valley. The flies

00:55:14.530 --> 00:55:17.349
develop quickly in flowing waters where females

00:55:17.349 --> 00:55:22.000
lay 200 to 500 fertilized eggs at a time. They're

00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:23.880
currently very active in the valley, and many

00:55:23.880 --> 00:55:26.239
residents are feeling overwhelmed, said the district

00:55:26.239 --> 00:55:29.300
in a statement. Right now, populations are increasing

00:55:29.300 --> 00:55:31.519
due to favorable conditions, and black flies

00:55:31.519 --> 00:55:34.940
can travel up to five miles from where they emerge,

00:55:35.099 --> 00:55:37.300
which is why they're being seen throughout the

00:55:37.300 --> 00:55:40.920
community. There's a brand of... Oh, yeah. Yeah.

00:55:41.079 --> 00:55:45.880
The pretty colors. Yeah. Let's see. Azusa resident

00:55:45.880 --> 00:55:48.139
Constance Yu described the persistent bugs as

00:55:48.139 --> 00:55:50.929
like... tiny little demons while she slaughtered

00:55:50.929 --> 00:55:53.929
away the critters during an interview. I love

00:55:53.929 --> 00:55:56.369
that. Though the flies cause discomfort, they

00:55:56.369 --> 00:55:58.750
are not known to transmit diseases in L .A. County,

00:55:58.829 --> 00:56:01.630
according to the Vector Control District. Now,

00:56:01.650 --> 00:56:04.190
this time last year, surveillance traps had single

00:56:04.190 --> 00:56:06.230
-digit counts of black flies, anywhere from one

00:56:06.230 --> 00:56:09.349
to nine. This year, they're capturing more than

00:56:09.349 --> 00:56:14.639
500 at a time. That's how big an increase. Over

00:56:14.639 --> 00:56:17.460
the same period last year. You know what? That

00:56:17.460 --> 00:56:20.500
wood smoke has suddenly started smelling delicious.

00:56:21.019 --> 00:56:23.059
Look right over there. You see something smoking?

00:56:23.300 --> 00:56:26.579
Oh, that's it. Yeah, they got a big smoker grill

00:56:26.579 --> 00:56:29.820
going. Well, maybe we're going to have to sample.

00:56:30.440 --> 00:56:32.460
They're starting to get hungry. Yeah, me too.

00:56:34.039 --> 00:56:38.599
Yeah, podcast's over. Let's see. District spokesperson

00:56:38.599 --> 00:56:43.000
Anais Medina -Diaz said it is... unusual to see

00:56:43.000 --> 00:56:46.079
such much fly activity this time of year. Noting

00:56:46.079 --> 00:56:48.059
that the uptick is probably connected to the

00:56:48.059 --> 00:56:50.699
recent record -setting heat wave, Southern California

00:56:50.699 --> 00:56:52.659
is experiencing the hottest March on record,

00:56:52.739 --> 00:56:54.900
leading to a surge in snow runoff for the mountains.

00:56:55.099 --> 00:57:00.260
Oh yeah, I did see that, yeah. The Southland

00:57:00.260 --> 00:57:02.460
has also seen more rattlesnakes with two recent

00:57:02.460 --> 00:57:04.780
human fatalities as the early heat draws more

00:57:04.780 --> 00:57:06.460
serpents onto the hiking trails. Wow, that's

00:57:06.460 --> 00:57:08.440
interesting because, I mean, even rattlesnakes,

00:57:08.440 --> 00:57:10.800
it's hard to die from anymore. Yeah, it is. Because

00:57:10.800 --> 00:57:13.139
they usually get you help really quick and get

00:57:13.139 --> 00:57:15.559
the anti -venom in you. And a lot of times they

00:57:15.559 --> 00:57:17.360
bite and they don't even inject the venom because

00:57:17.360 --> 00:57:18.920
they're trying to bite you to get you to go away.

00:57:19.119 --> 00:57:22.059
Yeah, yeah, they don't, yeah. They want to...

00:57:22.679 --> 00:57:24.099
The way I read it is they want to save their

00:57:24.099 --> 00:57:26.440
venom for a real predator. It takes a while to

00:57:26.440 --> 00:57:29.320
make that. Yeah, they're like, here, I won't

00:57:29.320 --> 00:57:31.340
bite you, but it's going to be a warning bite.

00:57:31.420 --> 00:57:33.039
So get the hell out of here. I ain't going to

00:57:33.039 --> 00:57:34.860
put none of the juice in it. Yeah, no, no, no.

00:57:34.860 --> 00:57:37.099
I'm going to save that for somebody else or something

00:57:37.099 --> 00:57:39.719
else. They say the toasty ocean temperatures.

00:57:40.480 --> 00:57:42.119
As a result of the heat wave, it's also been

00:57:42.119 --> 00:57:44.280
linked to a great white shark sighting in Newport

00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:47.000
Beach that prompted a temporary beach closing.

00:57:47.320 --> 00:57:50.960
It pisses the sharks off. I mean, imagine if

00:57:50.960 --> 00:57:54.559
every water you had to drink was hot. All right,

00:57:54.579 --> 00:57:57.219
technical glitch. Yeah. It turns out if you set

00:57:57.219 --> 00:57:59.780
your paperwork down on top of the laptop, it

00:57:59.780 --> 00:58:02.139
presses the space bar, turns the recording off.

00:58:03.119 --> 00:58:09.159
Yes. So I won't do that anymore. Yeah. At least

00:58:09.159 --> 00:58:11.219
we know that for next time, right? Yeah. Okay.

00:58:11.539 --> 00:58:13.760
So did you want to redo your story or did you

00:58:13.760 --> 00:58:15.800
want to go into something else? Let's go ahead

00:58:15.800 --> 00:58:18.159
and redo that story. Okay. I liked it, so yes.

00:58:18.760 --> 00:58:20.360
Okay, this time I'm going to put my readers on

00:58:20.360 --> 00:58:24.460
so I can see what I'm reading. Okay. All right.

00:58:25.539 --> 00:58:30.480
Study of the Mars rover images from NASA have

00:58:30.480 --> 00:58:32.920
raised intriguing possibilities about extraterrestrial

00:58:32.920 --> 00:58:36.909
life on the red planet. Ohio University professor

00:58:36.909 --> 00:58:41.050
William Romaser has identified what he believes

00:58:41.050 --> 00:58:45.050
to be insect and reptile -like creatures. They've

00:58:45.050 --> 00:58:47.590
been looking on Mars for traces of life, like

00:58:47.590 --> 00:58:51.710
chemical residue, microbe -sized fossils, etc.

00:58:52.590 --> 00:58:56.929
But these things are big enough to see. He believes

00:58:56.929 --> 00:59:00.550
that Mars once harbored insect and reptile -like

00:59:00.550 --> 00:59:03.639
creatures. because he's seeing images from the

00:59:03.639 --> 00:59:07.000
Curiosity rover suggesting that some of the things

00:59:07.000 --> 00:59:10.219
he's looking at are winged insects and snake

00:59:10.219 --> 00:59:14.699
-like reptiles that were hunting them. He refers

00:59:14.699 --> 00:59:18.039
to the insect things as bees, and they appear

00:59:18.039 --> 00:59:20.860
to possess features similar to terrestrial insects,

00:59:20.940 --> 00:59:24.340
including segmented bodies, wings, and jointed

00:59:24.340 --> 00:59:27.260
appendages. In one of his findings, a creature

00:59:27.260 --> 00:59:29.420
is seen performing an acrobatic flight maneuver

00:59:29.420 --> 00:59:31.820
diving steeply before leveling off, much like

00:59:31.820 --> 00:59:34.599
an insect on Earth. Which is hard to imagine

00:59:34.599 --> 00:59:38.000
because he's looking at still pictures. How does

00:59:38.000 --> 00:59:39.840
he know it's diving steeply before leveling off?

00:59:39.840 --> 00:59:42.579
That's a good point. How would he know? So, guesswork,

00:59:42.599 --> 00:59:46.579
I guess, on his part. He's also uncovered what

00:59:46.579 --> 00:59:48.739
he believes are reptile fossils among the rover

00:59:48.739 --> 00:59:52.570
photos. One of his key findings... shows a specimen

00:59:52.570 --> 00:59:55.050
that bears similarities to an eastern kingsnake

00:59:55.050 --> 00:59:57.389
with a distinctive head and bilateral nostrils.

00:59:58.190 --> 01:00:00.869
Seems to have a large mouth capable of gaping,

01:00:00.889 --> 01:00:04.389
supporting the theory that they were feeding

01:00:04.389 --> 01:00:09.190
on the insects. The reptile -like forms show

01:00:09.190 --> 01:00:12.230
symmetry and anatomical traits that parallel

01:00:12.230 --> 01:00:16.670
Earth's reptiles. These observations led Romeser

01:00:16.670 --> 01:00:19.130
to propose that Mars may have supported or may

01:00:19.130 --> 01:00:21.010
still support life similar to those on Earth.

01:00:23.050 --> 01:00:26.050
And in some of the pictures, it seems like the

01:00:26.050 --> 01:00:29.869
reptile creatures are actively hunting the little

01:00:29.869 --> 01:00:33.630
bee -type creatures. Now, he has received some

01:00:33.630 --> 01:00:37.050
pushback. Some people saying, no, we don't think

01:00:37.050 --> 01:00:41.550
this is correct. One of the main points brought

01:00:41.550 --> 01:00:45.429
up for this being not correct is the fact that

01:00:45.429 --> 01:00:49.170
the Martian atmosphere is so thin. Here on Earth,

01:00:49.289 --> 01:00:52.880
we've got a fairly thick atmosphere. You can

01:00:52.880 --> 01:00:54.820
fly, we can have airplanes, you can have birds

01:00:54.820 --> 01:00:58.980
and things. On Mars, the atmosphere is so thin

01:00:58.980 --> 01:01:01.599
that in order to fly, these insects would probably

01:01:01.599 --> 01:01:05.440
need wings about four to five feet long. Yeah.

01:01:05.619 --> 01:01:08.619
Or bigger. Because of the thin atmosphere. Yeah,

01:01:08.639 --> 01:01:12.380
yeah. And that's not what you're seeing. What

01:01:12.380 --> 01:01:15.340
you're seeing in these supposed images are insects

01:01:15.340 --> 01:01:19.219
that could fly on Earth, but not on Mars. And

01:01:19.219 --> 01:01:20.860
there would be no reason for them to develop

01:01:20.860 --> 01:01:24.019
wings unless they could fly on Mars. So these

01:01:24.019 --> 01:01:28.420
seem to be, like, not realistic. To give an example,

01:01:28.500 --> 01:01:32.420
that movie The Martian with Matt Damon, one of

01:01:32.420 --> 01:01:34.579
the key points was the rocket was going to blow

01:01:34.579 --> 01:01:38.480
over in the windstorm. Well, the most severe

01:01:38.480 --> 01:01:41.380
and violent windstorm on Mars feels like a light

01:01:41.380 --> 01:01:44.300
breeze because the air is so freaking thin. It's

01:01:44.300 --> 01:01:47.519
like somebody throwing feathers at you. You probably

01:01:47.519 --> 01:01:49.800
wouldn't even notice. As opposed to somebody

01:01:49.800 --> 01:01:52.679
throwing pool balls at you. Yeah. Those you would

01:01:52.679 --> 01:01:55.219
notice. Yeah. But Martian atmosphere is so thin,

01:01:55.440 --> 01:01:58.940
these things could fly. No way. Yeah. And there's

01:01:58.940 --> 01:02:01.219
been no evidence that Mars at once had a very

01:02:01.219 --> 01:02:03.800
large and thick atmosphere because it doesn't

01:02:03.800 --> 01:02:06.440
have high enough gravity. No, it never has. Yeah.

01:02:06.519 --> 01:02:10.639
So this seems like a fun idea, but I really don't

01:02:10.639 --> 01:02:13.639
think so. I think I agree with you on that. All

01:02:13.639 --> 01:02:17.719
right. Well, I got to... Another, and who knows,

01:02:17.800 --> 01:02:19.360
you know, the guy'd just be saying that to get

01:02:19.360 --> 01:02:22.199
notoriety or something, you know. True, somebody

01:02:22.199 --> 01:02:24.679
will give him grant money to go study it. Yeah,

01:02:24.699 --> 01:02:26.780
yeah, I'm certain of this. Okay, all right, well,

01:02:26.840 --> 01:02:31.360
here, so. Okay, there is a stuffed animal that's

01:02:31.360 --> 01:02:34.300
dropped from Earth's stratosphere. I wonder why

01:02:34.300 --> 01:02:37.679
they decided to do that. Well, it goes into it

01:02:37.679 --> 01:02:39.780
a little bit here. Cool. To probably go where

01:02:39.780 --> 01:02:43.239
no plushie has gone before, so. A British tech

01:02:43.239 --> 01:02:45.380
company dropped a stuffed animal from the Earth's

01:02:45.380 --> 01:02:47.900
stratosphere and are hoping they broke a world

01:02:47.900 --> 01:02:51.579
record. So that's one reason right there. The

01:02:51.579 --> 01:02:54.239
stunt was orchestrated by Raspberry Circle, an

01:02:54.239 --> 01:02:57.880
app maker based in the UK. Okay. And plus she

01:02:57.880 --> 01:03:00.659
landed intact in a tree in Windsor, Connecticut.

01:03:00.800 --> 01:03:05.500
Raspberry CEO something Raoul said. So it didn't

01:03:05.500 --> 01:03:08.739
burn up then? No, it did not. Raoul told the

01:03:08.739 --> 01:03:12.659
Post that... Emmy was submitted to World Record

01:03:12.659 --> 01:03:15.420
Certification Agency for the record of highest

01:03:15.420 --> 01:03:18.579
altitude a plushie has reached aboard a high

01:03:18.579 --> 01:03:22.559
-altitude balloon. That's awesome. It is, isn't

01:03:22.559 --> 01:03:24.699
it? And that company was waiting to hear the

01:03:24.699 --> 01:03:27.500
results. I would imagine that they probably got

01:03:27.500 --> 01:03:29.739
it. It's just a formality. They got to go through

01:03:29.739 --> 01:03:32.679
it all. I would think. It's Rampage documenting

01:03:32.679 --> 01:03:36.579
Emmy's adventures. Emmy is the name of the plushie,

01:03:36.599 --> 01:03:40.000
by the way. Has amassed more than 1 million followers,

01:03:40.179 --> 01:03:42.320
and that would be another reason. Oh, yeah. And

01:03:42.320 --> 01:03:46.699
has been seen by over 65 million people, according

01:03:46.699 --> 01:03:50.380
to Instagram, which would be another reason you

01:03:50.380 --> 01:03:53.179
would do that. Yep. Some observers speculated

01:03:53.179 --> 01:03:56.119
Emmy may have been barbecued in her return trip,

01:03:56.260 --> 01:03:58.260
like you were saying, and that's what I thought.

01:03:58.320 --> 01:04:01.019
But no, she was not incinerated during the reentry

01:04:01.019 --> 01:04:03.400
into Earth's atmosphere because of her low density

01:04:03.400 --> 01:04:06.300
and slow maximum speed, according to Harvard.

01:04:09.199 --> 01:04:12.539
Physicist Avi Loeb. Oh, that's true. There's

01:04:12.539 --> 01:04:16.000
only so fast you can fall before wind resistance

01:04:16.000 --> 01:04:18.059
slows you down. It's like you can throw an ant

01:04:18.059 --> 01:04:20.699
off the Empire State Building, and he'll just

01:04:20.699 --> 01:04:23.340
drift down, land on the ground, and crawl away.

01:04:23.420 --> 01:04:25.460
And crawl away, yeah. He doesn't weigh enough

01:04:25.460 --> 01:04:28.440
to fall fast. No. Nope, and that's pretty much

01:04:28.440 --> 01:04:30.559
the same here, too, is it didn't weigh enough

01:04:30.559 --> 01:04:34.940
to gather that much friction to burst into flames.

01:04:36.199 --> 01:04:38.260
That's pretty cool that they could find it. It

01:04:38.260 --> 01:04:40.679
is. Dropping from that height, you really can't

01:04:40.679 --> 01:04:42.840
tell exactly where it's going to land. Yeah.

01:04:42.900 --> 01:04:48.000
Not like it's a guided teddy bear. No. Little

01:04:48.000 --> 01:04:51.000
fins on it and maneuvering. A little maneuvering

01:04:51.000 --> 01:04:56.980
and all that shit. More jets. There's a lot of

01:04:56.980 --> 01:04:59.179
traffic going into downtown airport, a lot more

01:04:59.179 --> 01:05:01.059
than I ever thought. Yeah, a lot of business

01:05:01.059 --> 01:05:05.780
jets. Something must be coming up. I guess so.

01:05:06.699 --> 01:05:09.519
Maybe it's this place. Maybe people are coming

01:05:09.519 --> 01:05:12.880
to town for this. I wouldn't be surprised. They

01:05:12.880 --> 01:05:15.500
heard that the very first podcast from the Rock

01:05:15.500 --> 01:05:17.280
Island Bridge was happening today. Yeah, they

01:05:17.280 --> 01:05:19.579
could not wait to get here. They're all in line,

01:05:19.599 --> 01:05:21.179
though. We told them all the way we have to get

01:05:21.179 --> 01:05:23.480
here. I guess we'll be signing autographs for

01:05:23.480 --> 01:05:26.119
a while. Yeah, yeah. I told them I only do it

01:05:26.119 --> 01:05:30.239
in blood. They were a little weary, but they

01:05:30.239 --> 01:05:34.239
agreed to it. Now, I didn't tell them it was

01:05:34.239 --> 01:05:36.159
their blood. Oh, that's a good point. That could

01:05:36.159 --> 01:05:37.619
be the sticking point right there. That is a

01:05:37.619 --> 01:05:41.880
good point, yeah. But, anyhow, you got something

01:05:41.880 --> 01:05:43.139
or you want me to keep going with something?

01:05:44.559 --> 01:05:48.940
I don't know. I've got a story about little bitty

01:05:48.940 --> 01:05:51.559
holes drilled in the bottom of the ocean. I am

01:05:51.559 --> 01:05:57.159
familiar and, yeah, please. This is weird. At

01:05:57.159 --> 01:06:04.150
a depth of 2 ,540 meters. Along the Mid -Atlantic

01:06:04.150 --> 01:06:08.690
Ridge. Now, this is 1 .6 miles down, about 2

01:06:08.690 --> 01:06:12.230
,800 yards. This is like two -thirds of the way

01:06:12.230 --> 01:06:17.670
towards how deep the Titanic is. Yeah, it's black.

01:06:18.369 --> 01:06:24.349
To give a good reference, the continental shell,

01:06:24.570 --> 01:06:29.110
you can actually reach the bottom of it. The

01:06:29.110 --> 01:06:31.190
bottom of the ocean, where there's no shell,

01:06:31.710 --> 01:06:35.570
It's just almost limitless how deep it is. At

01:06:35.570 --> 01:06:41.849
this point, excuse me, at 2 ,500 meters, the

01:06:41.849 --> 01:06:44.989
pressure of the water down there is 255 times

01:06:44.989 --> 01:06:47.150
greater than the pressure at the surface. Isn't

01:06:47.150 --> 01:06:50.010
that, yeah. So here on the surface, we're experiencing

01:06:50.010 --> 01:06:52.329
15 pounds of pressure per square inch on our

01:06:52.329 --> 01:06:56.369
body. Yeah. Down there, it would be 3 ,750 pounds

01:06:56.369 --> 01:06:59.409
per square inch. Yes. Almost two tons on every

01:06:59.409 --> 01:07:01.980
square inch of your body. Yeah. Flattened in

01:07:01.980 --> 01:07:05.159
a heartbeat. Anyway. Wow. Massive pressures.

01:07:05.159 --> 01:07:06.579
If you ever want to know what happened to that

01:07:06.579 --> 01:07:11.239
submarine. Yeah. Yeah. So anywhere, they were

01:07:11.239 --> 01:07:13.139
looking down there. They put a remotely operated

01:07:13.139 --> 01:07:14.980
vehicle that can go down with lights and take

01:07:14.980 --> 01:07:19.639
a look. National oceanographic specialists found

01:07:19.639 --> 01:07:22.400
rows of perfectly aligned holes on the ocean

01:07:22.400 --> 01:07:24.780
floor, each surrounded by a small mound of sediment.

01:07:26.599 --> 01:07:29.539
The pattern is so precise that it appears artificial,

01:07:29.739 --> 01:07:32.360
but to this day, no one knows what created them.

01:07:32.639 --> 01:07:36.199
Wow. During a scientific expedition in 2022,

01:07:36.659 --> 01:07:42.219
they found these tiny holes, and they appear

01:07:42.219 --> 01:07:46.599
to have been systematically excavated. Each hole

01:07:46.599 --> 01:07:49.619
is only a few centimeters in diameter, so maybe

01:07:49.619 --> 01:07:53.179
an inch. and surrounded by a small mound of sediment

01:07:53.179 --> 01:07:55.480
as if something had removed the material from

01:07:55.480 --> 01:07:57.800
within and piled it up around the outside. Oh,

01:07:57.800 --> 01:08:00.219
wow. Even more intriguing was the fact that these

01:08:00.219 --> 01:08:02.639
holes appeared arranged in almost straight lines,

01:08:02.820 --> 01:08:06.360
separated by relatively regular intervals. I

01:08:06.360 --> 01:08:07.920
mean, it doesn't look like it was laid out with

01:08:07.920 --> 01:08:10.920
a ruler, but it's definitely not random, definitely

01:08:10.920 --> 01:08:13.099
not an accident. I mean, this is like a grid.

01:08:14.019 --> 01:08:15.780
I've seen the pictures. It's pretty amazing.

01:08:15.880 --> 01:08:19.789
No, I have too. And it's hard to fathom. What

01:08:19.789 --> 01:08:23.909
could have done that? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Anyhow,

01:08:23.949 --> 01:08:26.989
go ahead. It says each hole exhibits similar

01:08:26.989 --> 01:08:29.770
characteristics. The diameter is a few centimeters.

01:08:30.489 --> 01:08:34.590
It has well -defined edges in the sediment, small

01:08:34.590 --> 01:08:37.890
mounds of material around, uniform spacing between

01:08:37.890 --> 01:08:41.609
the holes. This characteristic suggests that

01:08:41.609 --> 01:08:43.909
the holes may have been excavated by some specific

01:08:43.909 --> 01:08:47.029
organism or process rather than resulting from

01:08:47.029 --> 01:08:51.569
natural erosion. It's kind of hard when you see

01:08:51.569 --> 01:08:54.829
it, though, to believe that. It is just too organized

01:08:54.829 --> 01:09:01.449
and too symmetrical. Yeah. One of the most discussed

01:09:01.449 --> 01:09:04.930
possibilities involves burrowing organisms of

01:09:04.930 --> 01:09:07.189
the seabed. Many species of animals that live

01:09:07.189 --> 01:09:09.270
in deep environments, such as marine worms and

01:09:09.270 --> 01:09:11.770
crustaceans or benthic fish, can burrow into

01:09:11.770 --> 01:09:14.329
the sediments in search of food or shelter. But

01:09:14.329 --> 01:09:16.810
they don't burrow in regular grid patterns. Yeah.

01:09:17.310 --> 01:09:19.430
There is also the possibility that these holes

01:09:19.430 --> 01:09:22.029
are related to geological processes or release

01:09:22.029 --> 01:09:24.689
of gases trapped in the sediment. But again,

01:09:24.789 --> 01:09:29.289
why would they do it in such a regimented grid

01:09:29.289 --> 01:09:32.829
pattern? Yeah, it doesn't make sense why they

01:09:32.829 --> 01:09:36.350
would do it, but go ahead. And they have actually,

01:09:36.510 --> 01:09:39.430
with the remotely operated vehicle, tried to

01:09:39.430 --> 01:09:43.029
get samples of sediment, but they can't actually

01:09:43.029 --> 01:09:45.390
get sediment from around the holes because it's

01:09:45.390 --> 01:09:48.199
too hard and compacted. So they can get sediment

01:09:48.199 --> 01:09:50.039
from a little farther away, but that's really

01:09:50.039 --> 01:09:52.960
not telling them what they need to know. So,

01:09:52.979 --> 01:09:55.140
odd little holes way down there in the bottom

01:09:55.140 --> 01:09:57.619
of the ocean in the pitch black. And I don't

01:09:57.619 --> 01:09:59.039
know if they're ever going to figure out what

01:09:59.039 --> 01:10:00.920
that is either. I think they would have to catch

01:10:00.920 --> 01:10:03.439
something or somebody making those holes. Yeah,

01:10:03.439 --> 01:10:07.340
but how could it be somebody when it is way down

01:10:07.340 --> 01:10:09.680
there? It takes millions of dollars in equipment

01:10:09.680 --> 01:10:13.420
and money just to get down there. Yeah. Why would

01:10:13.420 --> 01:10:15.159
anything or anybody go down there and make these

01:10:15.159 --> 01:10:17.539
random holes and go away? Oh, yeah. Well, let's

01:10:17.539 --> 01:10:19.939
face it. We don't know what's down there. There's

01:10:19.939 --> 01:10:23.319
no possible way we could. I mean, like I was

01:10:23.319 --> 01:10:25.140
talking about, I mean, you do make it down. There's

01:10:25.140 --> 01:10:27.760
pitch black. You can't see anything anyhow. It's

01:10:27.760 --> 01:10:30.439
so far down, there's no sunlight, nothing. Yeah.

01:10:31.420 --> 01:10:35.060
Maybe Aquaman's down there drilling holes. I

01:10:35.060 --> 01:10:36.779
think he is. He is, yeah. Yeah, I hear he's going

01:10:36.779 --> 01:10:42.359
to open up the Strait of Hormuz. Yeah. Yeah.

01:10:42.579 --> 01:10:45.920
He's going to work with the mermaids. Yeah, yeah,

01:10:46.039 --> 01:10:48.560
yep, they're right now. They're right now coming

01:10:48.560 --> 01:10:51.659
up with a plan. Yeah, so we actually got to use

01:10:51.659 --> 01:10:54.500
Aquaman for something. Yeah. Besides gay jokes.

01:10:55.260 --> 01:11:02.960
Oh, gosh. Think of poor Aquaman. He swims around

01:11:02.960 --> 01:11:06.439
all day in fish pee. I know, yeah. I'd be mad,

01:11:06.460 --> 01:11:09.130
too. And his own, I mean. It's not like he goes

01:11:09.130 --> 01:11:11.510
up on dry land to go pee. He pees wherever he

01:11:11.510 --> 01:11:13.949
is. He's the laughingstock of all superheroes,

01:11:14.170 --> 01:11:15.609
too. Definitely. It's kind of like, do you want

01:11:15.609 --> 01:11:19.350
me to bring Aquaman? Why? I'm sorry. I forgot.

01:11:19.550 --> 01:11:23.810
Okay. I mean, even the Submariner was much tougher

01:11:23.810 --> 01:11:27.430
than Aquaman. He even looked mean. Aquaman, not

01:11:27.430 --> 01:11:29.930
so much. Unless it's Jason Momoa Aquaman, then

01:11:29.930 --> 01:11:33.550
that's kind of reasonable. Yeah. Yeah. But still.

01:11:34.590 --> 01:11:37.130
He talked to fish. Yeah, I know, I know. Yeah,

01:11:37.289 --> 01:11:43.569
yeah, it's like, go get him, you carp. Oh, no,

01:11:43.649 --> 01:11:45.489
don't nudge me up with your big, bad carp there.

01:11:45.550 --> 01:11:47.489
Oh, my God, look, he's sucking on my toe. Get

01:11:47.489 --> 01:11:51.010
him out of here. It just really doesn't sound

01:11:51.010 --> 01:11:52.630
about that threatening, does it? No, it doesn't,

01:11:52.630 --> 01:11:55.390
no. No, if he, like, had a bunch of great white

01:11:55.390 --> 01:11:57.270
sharks, man, we might be talking. Well, yeah,

01:11:57.369 --> 01:11:59.550
true. Yeah, but, I mean, riding a whale, you

01:11:59.550 --> 01:12:01.430
know, people are just like, oh, okay, cool. Whales

01:12:01.430 --> 01:12:06.260
are cute. Yeah, yeah, Aquaman, look at him. It's

01:12:06.260 --> 01:12:08.399
really weird that he doesn't have a tan for being

01:12:08.399 --> 01:12:10.439
in the ocean all the time. This is true. He's

01:12:10.439 --> 01:12:13.539
awfully white, yeah. I wonder if his skin will

01:12:13.539 --> 01:12:15.420
prune up when he's in the water for a long time.

01:12:15.500 --> 01:12:17.579
You would think so. He's awful light -skinned.

01:12:17.640 --> 01:12:20.680
I mean, you know? He would look like he would

01:12:20.680 --> 01:12:23.199
be in northern parts, like Nordic or something,

01:12:23.279 --> 01:12:25.520
but no. Well, I guess if he's in salt water,

01:12:25.680 --> 01:12:27.819
your skin doesn't prune up. Oh, you know what?

01:12:27.859 --> 01:12:29.619
You're right. Because if it's in fresh water...

01:12:30.380 --> 01:12:33.779
Your skin prunes up because your skin is absorbing

01:12:33.779 --> 01:12:36.500
the fresh water into the saltier tissues of your

01:12:36.500 --> 01:12:38.840
skin. So it's not like water's coming out of

01:12:38.840 --> 01:12:42.060
your fingers. It's going in and making ridges.

01:12:42.180 --> 01:12:45.520
That's true. But in ocean water, ocean water

01:12:45.520 --> 01:12:48.420
is pretty much the same saltiness as the inside

01:12:48.420 --> 01:12:51.479
of our bodies is. So it doesn't do it. Yeah.

01:12:51.500 --> 01:12:55.340
Well, you know. No pruning. Yeah. No pruning.

01:12:55.760 --> 01:12:58.340
I just, I still wonder about the tan, though.

01:12:58.569 --> 01:13:01.050
I mean, he's usually riding on fish, not under

01:13:01.050 --> 01:13:03.189
the water, so why doesn't he have a better tan?

01:13:04.010 --> 01:13:07.170
You would think so, yeah. He'd have hellacious

01:13:07.170 --> 01:13:12.510
tan lines. Yes, he would. The problem is, I hear

01:13:12.510 --> 01:13:14.489
he goes around showing them in awkward places.

01:13:15.949 --> 01:13:18.270
Now, is Aquaman the kind of guy who has a secret

01:13:18.270 --> 01:13:20.829
identity, or is he Aquaman all the time? You

01:13:20.829 --> 01:13:23.090
know, I think he's Aquaman all the time. I've

01:13:23.090 --> 01:13:27.750
never seen, like, Clark... You know, like Clark

01:13:27.750 --> 01:13:29.909
Kent or something, or Bruce Wayne. You know,

01:13:29.930 --> 01:13:32.609
his name would be like, I don't know. He looks

01:13:32.609 --> 01:13:36.489
like a Jeffy, doesn't he? Yeah. Yeah, Jeffy Molenberg.

01:13:36.649 --> 01:13:39.409
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Jeffy Molenberg. That would

01:13:39.409 --> 01:13:41.569
be his name. That would be, yeah. Yeah. He looks

01:13:41.569 --> 01:13:43.390
like a Jeffy Molenberg. He doesn't look like

01:13:43.390 --> 01:13:49.850
anything else. All right. Okay. All right. Hundreds

01:13:49.850 --> 01:13:53.069
of teens flood Carolina Mall, disrupting traffic

01:13:53.069 --> 01:13:58.319
and climb on cars. Ooh, not good? No, not at

01:13:58.319 --> 01:14:00.960
all. Around 200 to 300 teens took over the streets

01:14:00.960 --> 01:14:04.239
in Birkdale Village, a shopping district in Huntersville,

01:14:04.359 --> 01:14:07.180
North Carolina, blocking cars, even dancing on

01:14:07.180 --> 01:14:09.680
them when drivers tried to pass through. Wow.

01:14:09.899 --> 01:14:14.479
Yeah, that old gag. The police have adopted drastic

01:14:14.479 --> 01:14:17.380
measures to ensure teenagers do not take over

01:14:17.380 --> 01:14:20.680
the streets again. Yeah, it's called a paddle.

01:14:23.529 --> 01:14:26.350
It's called lethal force. Yes, it's called shoot

01:14:26.350 --> 01:14:30.170
them. Gone are the days when street takeovers

01:14:30.170 --> 01:14:32.670
were about underground car mod competitions or

01:14:32.670 --> 01:14:35.210
drifting at intersections in the middle of the

01:14:35.210 --> 01:14:37.850
night. The modern versions look more like hundreds

01:14:37.850 --> 01:14:39.710
of people mobbing city streets and preventing

01:14:39.710 --> 01:14:42.609
people from going about their business. Not to

01:14:42.609 --> 01:14:44.609
forget potential damage to public and private

01:14:44.609 --> 01:14:47.810
property, litter strewn throughout, violent clashes

01:14:47.810 --> 01:14:52.470
with police, and multiple arrests. So these guys

01:14:52.470 --> 01:14:54.149
are stupid. You know, they could get paid for

01:14:54.149 --> 01:14:55.670
doing shit like this, but they're not. That's

01:14:55.670 --> 01:14:56.949
true. They're just doing it for the hell of it.

01:14:57.050 --> 01:15:00.949
Might as well get money. Motor Biscuit reported

01:15:00.949 --> 01:15:04.010
the incident. Now, Motor Biscuit must be a website,

01:15:04.210 --> 01:15:07.229
I guess. Reported the incident that occurred

01:15:07.229 --> 01:15:09.949
in Birkdale Village early this month. The viral

01:15:09.949 --> 01:15:12.130
video has highlighted the scale of the incident,

01:15:12.270 --> 01:15:14.770
showing how hundreds of teens annoyed motorists

01:15:14.770 --> 01:15:16.630
and climbed on the roofs of several vehicles.

01:15:17.010 --> 01:15:19.659
Police Chief Brian Vaughn revealed that... No

01:15:19.659 --> 01:15:21.819
assaults were reported during the street takeover.

01:15:21.920 --> 01:15:24.600
Oh, so they're pussies, too. I guess so. Yep.

01:15:25.000 --> 01:15:26.520
Come on, now. If you're going to do that, beat

01:15:26.520 --> 01:15:28.800
someone up. Come on. At least one of the motorists

01:15:28.800 --> 01:15:31.840
get out and say, you know, you just dented my

01:15:31.840 --> 01:15:34.739
car. Yeah, yeah. Give me a couple of your teeth

01:15:34.739 --> 01:15:37.939
as payment. Yeah. Here, this will do. Here, let

01:15:37.939 --> 01:15:40.119
me rip out this earring. How much is this worth?

01:15:42.119 --> 01:15:44.199
All right, now get on out of here, you little

01:15:44.199 --> 01:15:48.199
scamp. Before things get stupid. All right. Speaking

01:15:48.199 --> 01:15:50.439
to a large number of teens who arrived in the

01:15:50.439 --> 01:15:52.699
shopping district, he said they were dropped

01:15:52.699 --> 01:15:55.619
off via rideshare apps for surrounding counties.

01:15:56.020 --> 01:15:59.119
All right. As a measure to prevent such street

01:15:59.119 --> 01:16:03.079
takeovers that endanger the lives of the residents

01:16:03.079 --> 01:16:04.920
and teens crowding the road, the Huntersville

01:16:04.920 --> 01:16:06.899
Police Department has announced a special rule

01:16:06.899 --> 01:16:10.260
for people age 17 or younger. The new rule, which

01:16:10.260 --> 01:16:12.479
was brought into immediate effect, states that

01:16:12.479 --> 01:16:15.220
any visitor under 18 must be accompanied by an

01:16:15.220 --> 01:16:19.119
adult. After 6 p .m. And also, I forgot to tell,

01:16:19.180 --> 01:16:22.920
starting today, the podcast tonight and the next

01:16:22.920 --> 01:16:25.760
one that we do also, we are sponsored by All

01:16:25.760 --> 01:16:29.899
Star Pest Solutions. And I'm going to have the

01:16:29.899 --> 01:16:33.760
one Mr. Joe Cusick on speaking about what you

01:16:33.760 --> 01:16:36.239
need to look for in these pests with springtime

01:16:36.239 --> 01:16:38.399
right upon us. That's true. I've started seeing

01:16:38.399 --> 01:16:41.399
ants. Yes, a lot of ants and a lot of other things.

01:16:41.479 --> 01:16:43.060
And tonight we're going to be working on that

01:16:43.060 --> 01:16:45.909
commercial briefly for a little bit, too. And

01:16:45.909 --> 01:16:47.829
then we have another one coming up, but I cannot

01:16:47.829 --> 01:16:50.470
talk about that yet. I still got to go over the

01:16:50.470 --> 01:16:56.069
logistics with her about it. But I would say

01:16:56.069 --> 01:17:00.829
our audience would probably maybe like this.

01:17:01.029 --> 01:17:05.770
I would think so. But I'll get into that later.

01:17:05.850 --> 01:17:08.229
And we're going to have her on the show speaking

01:17:08.229 --> 01:17:14.449
about it. And also Joe, too, tonight. I'm going

01:17:14.449 --> 01:17:18.130
to speak with Joe, and that would be All Star

01:17:18.130 --> 01:17:21.630
Pest Solutions. And I don't have anything with

01:17:21.630 --> 01:17:24.210
me. I'll have the number, everything. But I think

01:17:24.210 --> 01:17:27.489
we're going to just start having his logo and

01:17:27.489 --> 01:17:29.529
just, like, putting it on our table and saying

01:17:29.529 --> 01:17:31.869
this is sponsored by All Star Pest Solutions.

01:17:31.909 --> 01:17:33.989
That's a good idea. He's a good guy. Joe Cusick

01:17:33.989 --> 01:17:36.550
owns it. He has a very unique story. I've known

01:17:36.550 --> 01:17:42.899
him all my life. Good man. All right. I've got

01:17:42.899 --> 01:17:47.239
a story about the days on Earth are getting slightly

01:17:47.239 --> 01:17:51.399
longer. They tend to vary a little bit in length,

01:17:51.460 --> 01:17:53.539
a little longer here, a little shorter there.

01:17:53.739 --> 01:17:56.600
I forgot the reasoning. I read something. Go

01:17:56.600 --> 01:17:59.140
ahead. They said there's a reason for them getting

01:17:59.140 --> 01:18:00.960
longer, and I can't remember, but go ahead. I'm

01:18:00.960 --> 01:18:03.800
sorry. But recently they discovered that our

01:18:03.800 --> 01:18:06.939
days have gotten longer by roughly 1 .33 milliseconds

01:18:06.939 --> 01:18:10.439
per century. Which doesn't sound like very much,

01:18:10.520 --> 01:18:12.680
but it's actually the most rapidly that the Earth's

01:18:12.680 --> 01:18:14.760
spin has slowed that has ever been recorded.

01:18:15.739 --> 01:18:18.279
They refer to this phenomenon as continental

01:18:18.279 --> 01:18:22.779
ocean mass redistribution. So in plain language,

01:18:22.840 --> 01:18:26.619
that is, water is gathering at the equator. Oh,

01:18:26.619 --> 01:18:29.600
okay, okay. So think of it like a figure skater

01:18:29.600 --> 01:18:33.640
who is skating around and goes into a spin, and

01:18:33.640 --> 01:18:35.920
then they draw their arms and legs in and spin

01:18:35.920 --> 01:18:38.840
faster. and then they stick them out again and

01:18:38.840 --> 01:18:41.300
they spin slower, that's what's happening with

01:18:41.300 --> 01:18:43.520
the Earth. The more water builds up at the equator,

01:18:43.899 --> 01:18:49.000
it slows the Earth down. So what they're talking

01:18:49.000 --> 01:18:51.640
about is melt from polar ice sheets and mountain

01:18:51.640 --> 01:18:54.640
glacier pools moves down into the Earth's oceans,

01:18:54.739 --> 01:18:57.340
and extra water weight builds up in the wide

01:18:57.340 --> 01:18:59.560
lower latitudes around the equator. It's like

01:18:59.560 --> 01:19:04.000
having a big spare tire around your belly. And

01:19:04.000 --> 01:19:07.800
that creates more drag on the Earth's spin. There

01:19:07.800 --> 01:19:10.260
are all sorts of other things that also affect

01:19:10.260 --> 01:19:13.819
the Earth's spin. The creation of many new enormous

01:19:13.819 --> 01:19:16.479
water reservoirs, many of which are in a single

01:19:16.479 --> 01:19:21.979
country, China. Okay. Which induces an out -of

01:19:21.979 --> 01:19:24.640
-balance wobble to the Earth's rotation and slows

01:19:24.640 --> 01:19:28.300
it down. Also, the continued movements of the

01:19:28.300 --> 01:19:30.340
continental plates on the Earth's surface throws

01:19:30.340 --> 01:19:34.720
it out of balance. The boiling in our planet's

01:19:34.720 --> 01:19:38.819
molten core is not even. and symmetrical, atmospheric

01:19:38.819 --> 01:19:41.460
pressure and wind, and the shifting orbit of

01:19:41.460 --> 01:19:45.739
the moon. Right now, the moon is a pretty strong

01:19:45.739 --> 01:19:49.000
influencer on making the days last a little longer

01:19:49.000 --> 01:19:54.739
or a little less. And others are pointing out

01:19:54.739 --> 01:19:56.960
that the lengthening day is more likely to be

01:19:56.960 --> 01:19:59.100
the cause of climate change than it is climate

01:19:59.100 --> 01:20:01.930
change causing the lengthening day. And the more

01:20:01.930 --> 01:20:04.010
they go into this, the more they're finding out

01:20:04.010 --> 01:20:05.949
that, like, a lot of the stuff that we think

01:20:05.949 --> 01:20:09.270
we can change, we can't. No, the Earth's doing

01:20:09.270 --> 01:20:12.729
its thing. Yes, yes. We haven't been here long

01:20:12.729 --> 01:20:15.170
enough to determine shit is what it amounts to.

01:20:15.310 --> 01:20:18.390
Yeah, yeah. So, I mean, but that would just give

01:20:18.390 --> 01:20:22.149
somewhat of an explanation to, you know, that

01:20:22.149 --> 01:20:24.289
they say, well, ocean levels are rising, but

01:20:24.289 --> 01:20:26.510
then they show you pictures taken 200 years or

01:20:26.510 --> 01:20:30.029
120 years ago. And the ocean's at the exact same

01:20:30.029 --> 01:20:32.829
level it is now. Well, I guess what they're saying

01:20:32.829 --> 01:20:34.789
is it's building up around the equator. Because

01:20:34.789 --> 01:20:37.289
the ocean's level isn't even across the whole

01:20:37.289 --> 01:20:40.050
planet. No, it can't be. No, it's higher in some

01:20:40.050 --> 01:20:44.489
areas, lower in some areas. But they say if the

01:20:44.489 --> 01:20:46.810
ocean level does rise at the equator to a significant

01:20:46.810 --> 01:20:51.789
level, then it could surpass the moon as an influence

01:20:51.789 --> 01:20:54.210
on the Earth's rotation. Right now, the moon

01:20:54.210 --> 01:20:57.420
is a bigger influence than the... redistribution

01:20:57.420 --> 01:20:59.800
of water so that would be the main reason the

01:20:59.800 --> 01:21:03.140
earth is slowing down and and like the milliseconds

01:21:03.140 --> 01:21:05.619
i i know it seems like nothing but it's also

01:21:05.619 --> 01:21:09.060
like it's concerning too because uh not for us

01:21:09.060 --> 01:21:12.560
of course but for people later down the road

01:21:12.560 --> 01:21:17.279
because also they have at the same pace new york

01:21:17.279 --> 01:21:21.539
is sinking yeah the city at almost the same pace

01:21:21.539 --> 01:21:26.220
billet Why can't it be Los Angeles? What can

01:21:26.220 --> 01:21:30.060
we do without that? Yeah, New York's... Yeah,

01:21:30.220 --> 01:21:35.340
they're better than Los Angeles. I'm not fond

01:21:35.340 --> 01:21:37.119
of either one of them. I did a lot of work in

01:21:37.119 --> 01:21:43.220
New York, and to me, it's a tedious city. But,

01:21:43.239 --> 01:21:49.140
anyhow, go ahead. I think that was it. I think

01:21:49.140 --> 01:21:52.130
that's all I got. Oh, okay. Alright. I'm all

01:21:52.130 --> 01:21:54.630
out of stuff on that one. How long have we got?

01:21:55.210 --> 01:21:57.729
We've got an hour and 15. Okay, do you want to

01:21:57.729 --> 01:21:59.189
keep going on this one, or do you want to go

01:21:59.189 --> 01:22:02.489
into the music creeps? Let's just see if I've

01:22:02.489 --> 01:22:04.789
got something on my music section that fits in

01:22:04.789 --> 01:22:06.310
with this. I don't think I have. I think this

01:22:06.310 --> 01:22:08.430
is all music. I've got something we could use

01:22:08.430 --> 01:22:11.489
here, actually. I just found it. Okay. Well,

01:22:11.510 --> 01:22:13.710
first off, the world mourns as they just found

01:22:13.710 --> 01:22:15.949
out that it's been confirmed Robert De Niro does

01:22:15.949 --> 01:22:19.590
not have laryngitis. I know. I got my hopes up.

01:22:19.670 --> 01:22:22.890
Yeah. That's like those sad days when they discover

01:22:22.890 --> 01:22:25.689
that Bruce Springsteen is still alive. I know.

01:22:25.829 --> 01:22:28.409
It's tragic. Every time. It's tragic. Oh, I have

01:22:28.409 --> 01:22:29.890
to go in the corner and collect my thoughts.

01:22:29.930 --> 01:22:32.970
I'm like, he's still around. What a shame. Yeah,

01:22:33.029 --> 01:22:37.279
what a waste of breath. But he still has those

01:22:37.279 --> 01:22:39.699
shoes that he wears that have like four foot

01:22:39.699 --> 01:22:41.880
on the bottom of them. Yeah, because he's like

01:22:41.880 --> 01:22:45.399
four foot two naturally. Yeah. He is actually

01:22:45.399 --> 01:22:48.619
some form of, he does have some kind of dwarfism,

01:22:48.640 --> 01:22:50.119
but he just doesn't want to talk about it. And

01:22:50.119 --> 01:22:52.180
he acts such. He acts such. Yeah. Yeah, he has

01:22:52.180 --> 01:22:54.899
little man disease. It's like Danny DeVito. He

01:22:54.899 --> 01:22:58.859
actually has a recognized form of dwarfism, but

01:22:58.859 --> 01:23:02.199
he has never, ever advocated for his community.

01:23:02.680 --> 01:23:05.779
No. Not once. No. In fact, he never even talks

01:23:05.779 --> 01:23:07.760
about it or acknowledges it. I have a lot of

01:23:07.760 --> 01:23:11.579
respect for DeVito. I have no respect for De

01:23:11.579 --> 01:23:18.659
Niro. Yeah. Okay, all right. These are what would

01:23:18.659 --> 01:23:21.760
you rather have or what would you rather it be?

01:23:22.640 --> 01:23:26.180
Okay, how about spaghetti hair versus jelly bean

01:23:26.180 --> 01:23:32.130
teeth? Let's say spaghetti. At least you can

01:23:32.130 --> 01:23:35.109
eat food with regular teeth. Jelly bean teeth?

01:23:35.710 --> 01:23:39.789
That would make life tough. It would. Okay, that

01:23:39.789 --> 01:23:42.770
one I think was pretty easy. How about a duck

01:23:42.770 --> 01:23:47.010
-sized horse or a horse -sized duck? I think

01:23:47.010 --> 01:23:49.369
a duck -sized horse would be pretty cool. It

01:23:49.369 --> 01:23:51.510
would be like a little dog. It would be cool.

01:23:51.569 --> 01:23:54.909
Oh, yeah. Come here, Fido. Come here. Man, a

01:23:54.909 --> 01:23:56.890
horse -sized duck would probably peck the snot

01:23:56.890 --> 01:24:01.800
out of you. Oh, yeah. Oh, fuck. Let's get out

01:24:01.800 --> 01:24:04.140
of here. Give me the bread and popcorn, you asshole.

01:24:04.140 --> 01:24:10.319
No offense, Rob. No offense, Rob. All right.

01:24:11.840 --> 01:24:15.300
How about constant hiccups versus unreachable

01:24:15.300 --> 01:24:19.279
itch? Wow, those are both pretty bad. Yeah, they

01:24:19.279 --> 01:24:22.420
are. I get the hiccups more often than I get

01:24:22.420 --> 01:24:23.819
the uncontrollable itch. I do, too. I think I

01:24:23.819 --> 01:24:25.560
can handle the hiccups a little bit better than

01:24:25.560 --> 01:24:27.760
the uncontrollable itch that you can't get to.

01:24:28.119 --> 01:24:30.819
Because, now, the thing I want to know is, can

01:24:30.819 --> 01:24:34.000
you use a gimmick, you know, like a back scratch

01:24:34.000 --> 01:24:36.039
or something? Because if you could use something

01:24:36.039 --> 01:24:39.600
to help you to get to it, then I'd go for that.

01:24:39.760 --> 01:24:43.500
Yeah. Or you can scratch up against a wall or

01:24:43.500 --> 01:24:46.000
something. But otherwise, you know, the unreachable

01:24:46.000 --> 01:24:47.180
itch, you just can't concentrate. That would

01:24:47.180 --> 01:24:49.100
drive you crazy. Yeah, you can't think straight.

01:24:49.869 --> 01:24:53.010
Yeah, it just drives you insane. The hiccups

01:24:53.010 --> 01:24:54.789
just make you sound like a weirdo on the phone.

01:24:54.949 --> 01:24:56.810
Yeah, and they're annoying, but they don't necessarily,

01:24:56.869 --> 01:25:00.810
like, drive you nuts. Yeah. All right. How about

01:25:00.810 --> 01:25:03.850
no eyebrows versus no eyelashes? I'm going to

01:25:03.850 --> 01:25:06.329
go eyebrows. Yeah, I'd rather get my eyebrows

01:25:06.329 --> 01:25:08.310
than my eyelashes. I can at least sleep with

01:25:08.310 --> 01:25:10.729
eyelashes, you know. Without eyelashes, I think

01:25:10.729 --> 01:25:12.350
you could probably still sleep, but it's going

01:25:12.350 --> 01:25:14.710
to be weird. Yeah, all sorts of crap get in your

01:25:14.710 --> 01:25:16.630
eyes without the lashes. Yeah, that's true. I

01:25:16.630 --> 01:25:19.720
count on those. However, I am going to my eye

01:25:19.720 --> 01:25:22.600
doctor because they have a new medicine out,

01:25:22.699 --> 01:25:25.140
and they just found out about this not too long

01:25:25.140 --> 01:25:28.880
ago, and it's eyelash mites. They're causing

01:25:28.880 --> 01:25:32.239
most people the redness and itchy eyes. Here

01:25:32.239 --> 01:25:35.739
we are going allergies. Parasites. They're parasites,

01:25:35.939 --> 01:25:38.880
and their mating fluid is what makes you itch.

01:25:38.880 --> 01:25:40.800
That makes sense. Yeah, so they're banging on

01:25:40.800 --> 01:25:45.300
your eyelashes and giving you itchy eyes. Little

01:25:45.300 --> 01:25:47.539
bastards are making porns on your fucking eyelash.

01:25:47.680 --> 01:25:51.300
Yeah. Might orgies. Yeah. Sorry, Billy Eilish.

01:25:51.579 --> 01:25:54.479
Eyelash. Eyelash. Oh, no, no, no. Wait. No, fucker.

01:25:54.500 --> 01:25:56.279
We don't feel sorry for her. No, we don't. Dumb

01:25:56.279 --> 01:26:01.359
bitch. Yeah. Let's see. What are they? Leftist

01:26:01.359 --> 01:26:03.640
hypocrite. That's how she was described. Yep.

01:26:03.779 --> 01:26:06.439
Yep. Yes, she is. As a matter of fact, I have

01:26:06.439 --> 01:26:08.899
a hypocrite section on the show. Oh, nice. Yeah.

01:26:09.420 --> 01:26:12.460
Long list of hypocrites. Yeah. But, I mean, we

01:26:12.460 --> 01:26:14.899
didn't start to cover them. Yeah. But, you know,

01:26:14.939 --> 01:26:17.619
I got, like, the top ten in there. So, all right.

01:26:17.920 --> 01:26:20.239
Now, I have heard, speaking of eyes, I've heard

01:26:20.239 --> 01:26:26.239
of a recent thing using eye drops that are made

01:26:26.239 --> 01:26:30.760
from pig semen. Oh. And it's being used to treat

01:26:30.760 --> 01:26:35.739
diseases because they're tapping into, like,

01:26:35.840 --> 01:26:38.560
when the sperm are going for the egg, only one

01:26:38.560 --> 01:26:40.060
of them get through and the rest are blocked

01:26:40.060 --> 01:26:43.619
out. Mm -hmm. What they're going for is the ability

01:26:43.619 --> 01:26:46.560
of sperm to get through a barrier like that to

01:26:46.560 --> 01:26:51.060
deliver drugs into, like, a tumor. Oh! That has

01:26:51.060 --> 01:26:54.119
a natural resistance. So it's nasty that it's

01:26:54.119 --> 01:26:56.060
made out of pig semen, but that's going to help

01:26:56.060 --> 01:26:59.000
it deliver the drugs into the tumor that is putting

01:26:59.000 --> 01:27:02.699
a protective barrier around itself. So it's like

01:27:02.699 --> 01:27:05.850
you're impregnating the tumor with... cancer

01:27:05.850 --> 01:27:08.369
-killing drugs. How fucking brilliant. Isn't

01:27:08.369 --> 01:27:10.829
it? It is. Wow. That's amazing. And the reason

01:27:10.829 --> 01:27:12.630
they're using pig semen is because if they used

01:27:12.630 --> 01:27:14.989
human semen, nobody would want it. Yeah, this

01:27:14.989 --> 01:27:16.829
is true. But pig semen is fairly similar. It

01:27:16.829 --> 01:27:19.810
is, yep. They want the properties, not necessarily.

01:27:19.970 --> 01:27:23.149
Yeah, okay, it's okay. No, I was talking to the

01:27:23.149 --> 01:27:26.329
echocardiogram, my annual echocardiogram this

01:27:26.329 --> 01:27:28.350
morning. I was talking to her. The advances are

01:27:28.350 --> 01:27:32.199
just insane in what they're doing. Yeah. All

01:27:32.199 --> 01:27:35.039
right, so who knows? You guys may be in for maybe

01:27:35.039 --> 01:27:38.539
another 30 years of this bullshit. Yeah. So there

01:27:38.539 --> 01:27:43.140
you go. You can thank modern medicine. All right,

01:27:43.220 --> 01:27:45.920
how about wearing one Halloween costume for a

01:27:45.920 --> 01:27:50.199
year? Ooh. That's some dedication. Or explaining

01:27:50.199 --> 01:27:56.079
Earth to aliens with three times... Yeah, yeah.

01:27:56.159 --> 01:28:01.140
Let's see. Something cut off here. Let me try

01:28:01.140 --> 01:28:05.720
to make sense of this. Okay, wear one Halloween

01:28:05.720 --> 01:28:07.960
costume for a year. Explain and hurt the aliens

01:28:07.960 --> 01:28:11.300
with three times... I don't understand. Three

01:28:11.300 --> 01:28:15.539
items. Oh, shit. Okay, three items. Okay. Oh,

01:28:15.600 --> 01:28:17.659
so you only have three things that you can show

01:28:17.659 --> 01:28:19.960
to explain. Oh, I think I'd rather wear the Halloween

01:28:19.960 --> 01:28:22.359
costume all year. You can always tell you lost

01:28:22.359 --> 01:28:25.979
a bet. Yeah, you know, that's true. I mean, that

01:28:25.979 --> 01:28:27.819
pretty much clears you for anything. You can

01:28:27.819 --> 01:28:30.079
hop down the street with your pants around your

01:28:30.079 --> 01:28:32.899
ankle and a duck on your head and say, yeah,

01:28:33.000 --> 01:28:34.760
I lost a bet, and nobody would think anything

01:28:34.760 --> 01:28:38.439
of it. That's true. Damn it, I didn't bring my

01:28:38.439 --> 01:28:41.140
eyeglass cleaner. I couldn't see that very well

01:28:41.140 --> 01:28:43.779
because I got a big smudge right here. You see

01:28:43.779 --> 01:28:47.000
that fucking thing? I do. It's like having cataracts.

01:28:47.380 --> 01:28:52.659
Yeah. Oh, well, all right. So, yeah, Halloween

01:28:52.659 --> 01:28:57.159
costume. Okay, how about naming your life sitcom

01:28:57.159 --> 01:29:00.399
or replacing your hands with kitchen utensils?

01:29:03.239 --> 01:29:06.539
I think naming my life sitcom, I could find something

01:29:06.539 --> 01:29:09.739
interesting. Yeah. I can't think of any kitchen

01:29:09.739 --> 01:29:12.840
utensils that I would be okay with in place of

01:29:12.840 --> 01:29:15.949
hands. No. Yeah. And anyhow, part of this is

01:29:15.949 --> 01:29:18.069
left off, so I'm going to do the best I can with

01:29:18.069 --> 01:29:21.390
this. Printers are starting to lead the wave

01:29:21.390 --> 01:29:23.430
of rebellion against humans, aren't they? Oh,

01:29:23.430 --> 01:29:26.510
my printer does whatever the hell it wants. And

01:29:26.510 --> 01:29:28.989
then I tried to print something from my phone,

01:29:29.069 --> 01:29:31.470
and then it's trying to tell me that I wasn't

01:29:31.470 --> 01:29:36.729
on the Wi -Fi when I was. It's just insane. Yeah,

01:29:36.789 --> 01:29:41.149
mine was trying to tell me that my laptop couldn't

01:29:41.149 --> 01:29:44.810
communicate with the Wi -Fi. So I set my laptop

01:29:44.810 --> 01:29:47.729
directly on top of the router and it still said,

01:29:47.829 --> 01:29:53.090
weak signal, move it closer. I don't know how

01:29:53.090 --> 01:29:55.409
much closer you could have moved that. I think

01:29:55.409 --> 01:29:57.329
that's just one of those pre -programmed excuses

01:29:57.329 --> 01:29:59.109
when they don't really want to tell you what's

01:29:59.109 --> 01:30:01.989
really going on. It's like, oh, well, let's just

01:30:01.989 --> 01:30:03.489
convince them that this is what's happening.

01:30:03.710 --> 01:30:06.869
I think what happened on that was it became a

01:30:06.869 --> 01:30:09.369
versus, versus, versus. But then after that,

01:30:09.470 --> 01:30:16.279
I think it parlayed into... Odd things that could

01:30:16.279 --> 01:30:18.479
happen to you. Because I had two articles, and

01:30:18.479 --> 01:30:21.680
I don't know what it did. So, anyhow. Alright,

01:30:21.939 --> 01:30:24.159
do you want to keep going? Or you got something

01:30:24.159 --> 01:30:25.520
you want to keep going on this? Or you want to

01:30:25.520 --> 01:30:29.180
do music creeps? Oh, let's move on to the music

01:30:29.180 --> 01:30:31.880
creepies. Okay, alright. Well, hey, everybody.

01:30:31.979 --> 01:30:36.500
New location. Same fantastic broadcast as always.

01:30:37.039 --> 01:30:39.600
So we appreciate you guys listening. And like

01:30:39.600 --> 01:30:42.159
always, thank you all for listening so very much.

01:30:42.199 --> 01:30:43.199
And go fuck yourself.
