Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live each weekday morning five to eighth Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Nashville, Tennessee
two below, Mississippi and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine and take the drive
to work with you, but better late than never.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
We're grateful you're here now. Enjoy the podcast two three
starting your morning off right?

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Thank you. A new way of talk, a new way
of understanding, because we're in this together.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Miss is your morning show with Michael Dell Jean. It
is the Monday Coach. Are we ready? Maybe we win?
We smell like winning around him? Goes all right, way
to start a Monday.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Jeff, all right, I have to explain to everybody. Jeff
is very distracted this morning. He accidentally heard Electric Avenue, Yeah,
twelve days ago and hasn't been able to get it
out of his head. In fact, every spare thought he
goes in, do keva new?

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Hey, that happens? I had one the other day.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
All of a sudden, I was just sitting there in
a quiet moment. I thought, maybe God will speak to me,
you know, maybe something profound will happen. And all of
a sudden I heard Gloria. I think they got your number.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Gloria, how do we get these earworms?

Speaker 1 (01:21):
I think they got your alias that you've been living under.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Do you know? I didn't even know those lyrics, and
that came to me. I remember Gloria.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
By the way, Laura Branigan terrific talent. I mean, all right,
I'll tell you if I'm in a car all alone,
and how am I supposed to live without you? Comes
on whether it's her or who originally wrote it Michael Bolton,
doesn't matter which version. I'm like that scene and Tommy
Boy going down the highway. But other than that, you

(01:51):
know nothing. I'm sorry she died young. She was a
great wife, took care of her husband, had a long
bout with cancer.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
But all this, I think they got your alias.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
I didn't even know the lyric. Lord Brannigan's songs live on.
They are still strong today.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
I love them.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Go Figure songs get stuck in our head. We don't
know why anyway, how are we doing? Coach Prime says
we smell like winners. The evidence is we smell like
winning around here, not so much for a Monday eight
minutes after the hour. Thanks are waking up with your
morning show. We think we're here to serve you. I'm Michael,
that's Jeffrey, and welcome to Monday, the twenty third September
twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
It's fall. My favorite season. Is it really.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Just just just narrowly over winter, which I think makes
me very weird.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Okay, death and a cold, frozen over grave are my
two favorite things.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
I mean, I'm gonna say it's congested for the next
two months.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
That's death in nature.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yes, it's one of the most beautiful things you will
ever witness. Well, they both occur together. Well yeah, but
we don't look so good in death. Well we decompose,
please turn beautiful colors.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Well, they're decomposing at that time.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
You know, people often ask me what is it about
that I don't know, could be neuro associations.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
You know.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
I grew up in Arlington Heights since I was thirteen fourteen,
and then at fourteen is ish. We moved to New Orleans,
and New Orleans was just so hot and humid. Made
me hate summer Chicago. I mean, it was just something
about you. You had your jeans on right, your Converse
All Stars sweater, your coat. You were sitting by the
bus stop with the dudes. Yeah, you know, swimming through

(03:43):
the atmosphere. Sometimes I think it's the fashion. Sometimes I
think it's the holidays. Sometimes I think it's footballer. Put
them all together, and I just love fall and Sunday.
We'll give you the history, okay, of why yesterday was
the first day of fall?

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Or was yesterday the last day of summer? No, yesterday
was actually the first day of fall.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
As sue the son of the Equini, the son and
the equator believe something. It's got to do with something,
and I'm the one given the lesson. Accuse Trump assassin.
A detention hearing scheduled for today. House Speaker Mike Johnson
says his chamber is set to vote this week on
a stopgap funding bill to keep the federal government opened.
Although there's a lot of us you don't want to

(04:22):
do it right before an election, especially when they're gonna
blame it on you, and you know how the media is.
But you know, there's nothing wrong with the government shutdown.
In fact, what we call the government shutdown is just
fiscal common sense, all right, just our founding father's intent.
Ask any ridiculous politician, well, what happened to a government shutdown? Well,

(04:43):
they'll try to scare this nod out of you. By
the way, that's our journey of discovery today. We're gonna
We're gonna tackle fear and despair and don't forget fear
is the creation of anger, and despair is the creation
of depression. We talk about this issue of fear and
despair in America, whether it's from the social media dilemma,

(05:05):
whether it's from the mainstream media dilemma, whether it's from
your own how to focus hysteria. It's a pretty serious
thing to address because anger leads to rage, leads to violence,
depression leads to hopelessness.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
My therapist says, angers the secondary emotion. Yeah, it is
actually to fear. I'm usually to fear.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah, we'll address that in our journey of discovery.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
That topic I am ready for.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
I'm going to do on fall for fall.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
I got myself a cutting paste, all right, I'm going
to do it. I'm gonna do a kamala.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
I had a terrible weekend and I just want to
chime right in and say, whatever whatever happens with today's show,
blame it on optometrists. No kidding. So I don't know
how long I've worn glasses since the second grade. I
squinted like a mouse forever and then finally they think it.
And back when I got glasses, you know, glasses weren't

(06:03):
cool at all. Uh So then I looked into contacts,
and back then all we had was hard lenses. Maybe
it's ever wore a hard lens can relate to me.
That's sticking glass in your eye and.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
You got to clean them every day and do all that.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
And remember how I used to take them out, Just
do your eye and then blank and they snap. There
was just awful, terrible experiences. So anyway, now that I'm older,
and I think it started with COVID. Like with COVID,
I just stopped wearing contacts. I was just like, why bother?

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (06:31):
You know?

Speaker 1 (06:32):
I think that's when I stopped showering too. I'm kidding.
Where's that zucchini sound effect? When we needed we should
always have for when a joke falls flat? The best
part of the we hit it again. The best part
about the zucchini sound effect when we when we found

(06:52):
the zucchini sound effect that was for hitting people in
the grocery store, because the Democrats are saying this is
where we got to.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
It was Wall, Wasn't that sure? Yeah? Vice Presidential Canada,
Tim Walls.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
This is where the election is going to be one
in the produce section where you you ask people if
they've registered to vote, ask him who they're voting for.
And we're thinking, can you imagine being at the grocery
store and somebody you're picking out zucchinis, and some guy
walks up to you.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
If you consider vote, if you Kamala Harris, and.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
We were like, I would grab that zucchini and right
in the well as we were playing with the sound effect.
That's when we decided to have technical difficulties on one
of our radio stations that just kept repeating the last
ten and seconds before a break, and so for over
and over again on that radio station, just kept peering
and it was playing over at I don't.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Even know why I brought that up.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
So anyway, somehow during COVID, you know, I just stopped
wearing glasses and then covids over and back to warm.
So I can't say how many pairs of glasses I bought,
and every single one of them I didn't. I didn't
like them. I only wore them really in bed to
watch TV. Just hated and hate them. So finally I
go to, uh, I'll give a I'll give a national
shout out to Cool Spring's Eye Care okay in Cole Springs.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Tennessee, which is technically Franklin, but.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Anyway, and Max is helping me, and Max turns me
on to like these. I had a final four that
was unbelievable, and then I got to a final two
and I couldn't decide so much. I bought them both,
Oh did you? And one of them I called my
mister mcgoos because they're kind of blue. They're not round,
but they're of an odd shape. And it's the first

(08:26):
time I ever looked forward to glasses in my life.
I used to call every day, Are they in?

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Are they in? Are they in? I couldn't wait for them.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
And then one day I was out Chris Berry was
in town and I'm on my way home and I
got the voicemail from Max.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
My glasses were in. I go fly in there. I
put them on. I'm so proud, I love them. I'm
so happy. I mean, I think that's when I first
started thinking Gloria, Gloria.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
But I digress and I get home and I don't
want to take them off.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
I'm wearing them and I'm wearing.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Them, and then I started feeling some of my eyes
and I remember thinking to myself, am I just not
used to wearing glasses that my eyes are hurting?

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Well.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
I had to get rid of a Mercedes Benz one time,
and I loved this suv, but it had a strip
of metal that went down the side of the door
and it went right across my leg and I noticed
my legs started bubbling and melting. Oh over time, I mean,
big bliss. And then I figured out, oh my gosh,
I have a metal allergy. You're not gonna be able

(09:26):
to see it very good. I don't think I've been
treating it for two days. But I've got pictures i'll
send you. So I wake up the next morning and
I look like the Elephant Man.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
I'm telling it.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Doesn't like I was in a little bit, not an animal.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
It's a difference.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
It was a cross between the Elephant Man and Robert
de Niro playing Jake Lamada.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Oh wow.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
It was just awful and blisters bubbling on both sides,
so now I finally get a great pair of glasses.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
And I can't keep them. What am I gonna do?
I have to make a decision on a great pair
of glasses and we'll go see Max. But I don't know.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
You better check and see if he got a medal
in it. I went analogy these mockups of the glasses,
and of course I want the spectacles, and my wife
was like, you don't need those. You need you need
square glasses. So now I have to go back and
go through all those frames again to find a pair
that I like.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
She didn't.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
She said, I look like Harry Potter. And here's one
of the great fascinating things you're gonna leave with. How
did Danny Gokey? Who was I don't even did Danny
Gokey come in the top ten?

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Did what do you finish? Like? Eighth?

Speaker 1 (10:32):
An American idol twenty years ago?

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Something like that?

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, and his frames are the most well, they're up
there as the most expensive and the best.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
You can't go wrong with Goky.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Well, he's probably a billionaire, not for singing, but for
the glasses he wore.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
And now that he.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Designs them, go find something we could have made a
lot of money designing glasses instead of doing this It
only costs like thirty bucks a pair to make, and
then you sell them for one hundred and twenty and above.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
I have a simple rule in life. I do delight
in the misfortune of others.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
But the North Carolina Republican governor Republican candidate for governor
has had a great misfortune. His entire staff virtually at
this point, has stepped down after he reportedly made leude
and inflammatory comments years ago on a porn site that
has come back to haunt him as a couple of

(11:24):
applicable lessons for us all. If I have any favorite stories,
it's the polls. Because we entered the weekend with the
polls saying this is a debt, this is a deady.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Then you get an ABC.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Poll, then you get an NBC and you know other
polls showing Kamala Harris leading by five. It makes you
want to just kind of go into the polls. And
as I was doing that, I stumbled on the latest
poll from Virginia that has it down to two percent.
You know what they say, if you're trailing Donald if
you're leading Donald Trump by two, you're trailing by three
is Virginia in play? And just when we think, you know, oh,

(11:58):
it's gonna all come down to this, you know, North
Carolina's key and now at the top of the ticket
and a scandal could that flip North Carolina to Kamala. Well,
has anybody taken for granted Virginia because Virginia looks like
it could go Trump map chaos because we have an
election that can't be called in more states than just

(12:19):
the swing five as we call them. We'll probe into that.
As I mentioned earlier, we're gonna have our journey of discovery.
We're gonna look into fear and despair and don't forget
behind fear. Fear creates anger. Behind despair, despair, you know,
can create depressions. So these are pretty big topics of
when you get politics so big and the rest of
your life and what's really important gets real small.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
We'll talk about that a little bit later on.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
John Decker is going to have the latest on the
week ahead, as we are pretty much approaching our final
forty days rather quickly. Aaron Rayal Kamala Harris is making
a stealthy push to win over corporate America. She'll uncover
the plan of Kamala Harris good luck fighting any specificity,
but she'll give it a shop. And we had the

(13:07):
president of Israel say we're not trying to escalate this war.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
We're not trying to create a bigger war, a world war.
We're just doing what we have to do to defend ourselves.
And they are back in Lebanon with more bombing. Rory
will have that story. We got a lot to talk about,
three hours to do it. This is your Morning Show
with Michael del chna. Hey, Welcome to Fall. Monday, September
twenty twenty four.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Accused Trump assassin has the tension hearing scheduled for today.
House Speaker Mike Johnson says his chamber is ready to
vote to keep the government open.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Oh, by all means closing.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Got a Monday night football double header for you tonight,
Jags and Buffalo Commanders and Bengals and if you fell
asleep last night, two fourth downstands late in the fourth
quarter and the Champs the Chiefs hung on twenty two
to seventeen.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Over the Atlanta Falcons.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
By the way, garbage is until I think Wednesday my neighborhood. Yeah,
but I don't think it's too soon to bring the
Titans out, the Cowboys out, and if you others, curb man,
I think for those listening in Tampa this morning, you
might want to take the Bucks out. Awful losing at
home thirty four to seven to the Broncos. All of

(14:18):
the Broncos looked better the Broncos. Give Sean Payton time. Yeah,
there's a guy that knows how to make them out
of garbage. Titans fell to Onwen three, losing thirty to
fourteen to the Packers, and they got beat by their
old quarterback to boot while there's fumbled through interceptions. Brown's
lost twenty one fifteen to the g Men. That's pretty
bad at home. Waking up in Cleveland, you probably want

(14:40):
to take the Browns out to the garbage or as
we like to call it, what is it? A no
the fan of the video We always play the Browns fan,
it's a something of despair.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
What is it? Yeah, you are a factory of sadness.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
You are a factory of sandy, That's what they're saying
in Cleveland. Waking Ravens twenty twenty five over the Cowboys,
Lions twenty to thirteen, Cardinals, Phoenix.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
You guys Arizona lost at home.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
A great game between the forty nine ers and the Rams,
and the Rams showed no quick came back got the
game winner with time expiring over the San Francisco forty
nine ers. Panthers thirty six twenty two over the Raiders,
who woke up the Panther. I think Raiders, Browns, Box, Titans, Cowboys. Yeah,
tring to throw the Cowboys over there, because the other

(15:31):
Ravens are good, but they're off to a rough start
with two losses, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
And baseball raised one four to three over the Jays,
Cardinals won two to one over the Guardians, Rangers won
six y five over the Maritors, d Backs, and Nats lost.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
And that's sports from over the weekend.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
In college football, real quickly, the top five is Texas
number one, arch Manning finally got some playing time at
a blow out over a smaller college, Georgia at number two.
Ohio State number three, And let me tell you something.
There might be a big difference between one, two and
three and the rest of the world, but Alabama's in
there at four. In Tennessee is five after a big

(16:07):
win over Oklahoma over the weekend, which I'm not going
to bring up we have two affiliates in Oklahoma, we
have two in Tennessee.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
And it doesn't do us any good to talk about them.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
No, just Taylor Swift's me yes, and I don't even
know Taylor Swifting. So we were talking about, you know,
these poles, and I want to give you the very latest,
not that we're dodging it. CBS News had a poll
that came out Sunday, and in the CBS poll, Harris
leads nationwide fifty four to forty eight, which means it

(16:36):
is probably a dead heat, but it's got Harris up four.
ANDBC it come out with a pole with Harris leading
forty nine to forty four, up five, both right there
at the margin of air, and both with the undersampling
of Trump. Probably say it's close. But that's a dramatic
swing in two days, four points towards Harris from the
Thursday poll which showed it tide and that's a New

(16:59):
York Times poll. There was also pulled down by Rasmussen,
who happens to consistently be one of the more accurate,
that had Trump up to forty nine to forty seven.
All of these polls are to be taken with a
great grain of salt, as always, And they are snapshots.

(17:21):
And what do we remind you of when you call
somebody said that the election we're held today, who would
you vote for? I guess what the election could be
with some early voters that day, but for most the
election is not that day. And it's a snapshot in
time and time that no longer exists. So by the
time you were poured in a poll, it's no longer accurate.
Probably doesn't mean it shifts that much, but the volatility

(17:45):
of certain polls. And I can't think of any momentum
going Harris's way.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Now.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
If this was coming out of the debate, yeah, I'd
probably connect that Trump performed that poorly. Then Trump's gaslight
everybody and told him he won. He doesn't have to
do another debate, and it kind of worked. Anybody can
gaslight anybody in this era of non truth, Why do
you do it? That's the way we roll. Some other
interesting polls, the Electoral College in Pennsylvania, which is so key,

(18:15):
Harris leads by zero point seven. I like to call
this that is well within the Trump margin of error,
the underreporting of Donald Trump. So I don't think anybody
at Camp Harris is excited knowing that just barely above
a half a point lead over Donald Trump. And that's Pennsylvania.
But let's keep up the razor thin and be fair
to both sides. In North Carolina, Trump leads Harris by

(18:41):
zero point one percent. Georgia it's one point seven. Trump
leads Arizona, it's one point six. Trump leads Wisconsin, Harris
leads by one, Michigan Harris leads by one, and Nevada,
Harris leads by zero point two. So these are all
very very close races. Go back to North Carolina, Trump

(19:02):
leads by zero point one percent. North Carolina doesn't fail often.
But that's what makes this story so significant. That you've
got a Republican and at the top of the ticket
is the presidential race. But it's not could not help

(19:23):
Trump that a North Carolina gubernatorial leading candidate is and
caught in a scandal, especially when you're talking about a
zero point one ten percent lead. I always do this
as a disclaimer because we have new stations, new markets,
just so you know me. I never delight in the

(19:44):
misfortune of others. In fact, if you delight in the
misfortune of others. I'm not saying there's something wrong with you.
I'm saying there's something that hasn't been addressed in you.
There's something that in you that needs to grow a little.
Even your enemies, I don't delight in their misfortune. I

(20:07):
just don't life provides enough misfortune. I am in need
of so much mercy and grace myself. I don't have
time to look at others, but I do think from
a human being standpoint, what part of all have sinned
and fallen short? Don't you understand? We all make mistakes.

(20:27):
Culture decides which ones are despicable. Culture also decides which
ones will be exposed and which ones will not be.
There are so many stories about this story that are
more important. This is the kind of stuff that people
dig up. This is why good people today may be flawed.
A decade ago, three decade, three decades ago, we'll run

(20:50):
for office and we desperately need them to. This is
another reminder that anything you do on the Internet is
not written in pencil. It's in permanent ink. There's no
such thing as privacy. At any point, anybody can destroy you.
Don't say anything in a text message or online that
you wouldn't say on NBC Nightly News tonight. Actually, there's

(21:13):
less chance someone would hear it if you said on
NBC Nightly News tonight. That's why I mean to him.
Lester's always wearing a vast He's nice. But here's the scandal.
Key aids for North Carolina's Republican candidate for governor have
all stepped down after he reportedly made lewd and inflammatory
comments years ago on a porn site. Marc Robinson allegedly

(21:36):
made the post in the message board of a porn
site called Nude Africa. Now, before you get too scared,
Robinson is a person of color, so he's commenting on
his own race, but he reportedly referred to himself as
a black Nazi and supported bringing back black slavery. He
also allegedly said he enjoyed watching transgender porn and recounted

(22:00):
story of when he was fourteen years old and was
peeping at women in the school Jim Shower. The Sunday
release from Robinson's campaign says that those who left include
his campaign manager, finance director, deputy campaign manager, and general consultant,
senior advisor.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Everyone.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
You know, there's another side story, right when a guy
needs you the most to abandon him. Oh right, this
wasn't this weekend. We're talking a long, long time ago.
And I'm not defending him in any way. He doesn't
need me to defend him. When I see stories like this,
my heart goes out to his wife, his two children,

(22:38):
and to him to be embarrassed nationally.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
And usually I ignore these stories.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
The only reason why I bring it up is to
make some of these other points and to tell you.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
And don't forget a North Carolina. The race is at
zero point one percent Trump's way. It wouldn't take much
to sway it. So this is not necessarily good news
for these poles. Of plenty of all of them.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
The one I would highlight the most as I'm running
out of time Virginia. In Virginia, the University of Maryland,
University of mary Washington pole shows Harris leading by two
forty eight to forty six. It screams out loud, Virginia

(23:25):
the Commonwealth is a toss up? Are there states out
there that no one is paying attention to that will
be the swing states rather than the swing states everybody's
counting on. And this just goes part and parcel with
how close this race is. And when you add the

(23:50):
mistrust in polls, you had the mistrust in the media,
you had the mistrust in social media, it adds to it.
There's a lot of states that could fall. And in
the end, just when you think, what if Trump loses Nevada,
what if Trump loses Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. But it's
gotta be over right unless he hangs out in North

(24:13):
Carolina and then takes Virginia to boot. In fact, let's
go to our two seventy map. Now this assumes that
Trump hangs on in Nevada and Arizona, which I think
he will.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
There's no sneeze but there's no sneeze button, is there.
There's a cough button, but there isn't a knee button.
So I have to share it with the entire country.
Bless you on behalf of the country.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
I'd like to thank everybody that turned the radio and
said God, bless you into everyone else, how dare you?
But that gives Trump Nevada, Arizona, North Carolina, and Georgia,
and it gives her Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. And
if that happens, and then the one district in Maine

(24:53):
for Trump in the one district in Nebraska for Harris.
As many predict, Harris wins two seventy to two sixty eight.
When I turned Virginia read Trump wins two eighty one
to two fifty seven. Count your eggs making breakfast this morning.

They've had enough of me.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
No, just casting your support. You're introducing yourself at the
Morning Show kitchen table.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
All right, it's the old joke, how many people does
it take to change a light bulb? Well, how much
does it cost to change a light bulb? Would you believe?
Four hundred dollars? Please don't give my wife any ideas
I'll be getting bills. Let's take a look at the
cost of appliance repairs, because this isn't a joke.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Aaron Raal is here, Good morning.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Yes, appliance repairs. I don't know if you have any
new appliances. I purchased a new microwave about three years ago.
I've had literally someone out no less than four times
since then. I also have an oven that's thirty years old,
never broke, so I really yeah. What this comes down
to is the fact that things are made smart lately,

(26:55):
and smart is synonymous with you know, a computer.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
It's just a computer.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
And several states have these right to repair laws. Now,
so what those are doing is they're going to require
manufacturers of certain devices, whether it be like an electronic
or an appliance, they want them to make parts and
then software updates that are available at a fair and
reasonable reasonable price. The states that have this so far
are California, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Colorado, Oregon.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
They've all passed legislation and now the FTC is like, oh,
maybe we should do something on a broader level. And
they're doing this in the force of in the form
of writing a letter to manufacturers the major major appliances
saying that they want like warranty related enforcement action. I mean,
it seems it seems a little laxed.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
R yeah, so it being yeah, go ahead. When I
saw this over the weekend, I thought, oh, I can't
wait to talk to her about this. I don't And
it sounds like you did the same thing so with
your stove. We have a refrigerator. And I got to
be honest with you, like, I'll see these new Samsungs
and it's not so much the little like video screen
that can like you can you know, have messages or
I think it can even play television whatever.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
It's really that little second door.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
In the front where you open it and it's just
your drinks, and then you open the whole thing and
it's the whole I mean, yeah, all the different drawers
out there, they've designed them better now. And I wish
I had one of these new Samsungs. Why don't I
buy one? Because I got a kitchen aid that's twenty
years old, stainless steal and that thing won't break, never breaks,
and I dread the day it dies because then I'm
going to enter this world of smart which is really

(28:27):
stupid appliances.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
What do we eventually? So we're gonna be rebooting our
refrigerators that's the.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
Future, yes, unless so here's the thing I want to
say that these right to repair laws, essentially what they're
doing is like if the light bulb breaks in your microwave,
you have to be able to fix it. Today many microwaves,
if the light bulb breaks, well, it's going to be
dark for the rest of the microwaves from that life.
Or you're gonna have to spend like close to four

(28:53):
hundred bucks to get someone to come out there, and
usually it's two people because I have to take it
out of the wall and then it's built into the
heart wear, so it's not like a simple light bulb
replacement like it would be on older things.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
So the idea, the rebuttal to this, like the critics.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Of these right to repair legislations say that what it's
going to do is make products kind.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Of less the quality will be lower.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Now I think, wait, is it the quality of the sleekness?
Because I don't think okay.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
Thank you, yes, and that's what like, I think this
is a hollow rebuttal given the thirty year old of
an example, the idea of being like no, no, no, they're
not less good and the quality is not decreased because
they're not computers, Like it's it's a different thing you're
talking about, like the quality of the type of materiality
they used on older appliances. Like let's say, like an

(29:42):
old Viking range that'll probably like outlive nuclear ward I'm joking,
but like that thing is like indestructible.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
I wish I could tell you the name of the
washer and dryer that we bought.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
It's very expensive, but I mean it's as tough as
anything in a laundry mat. I mean, you couldn't wear
this hang out if you had ten children. Now they
don't look anything like the Samsungs, and they don't ding
at you like the Samsungs. They just wash clothes really
good for a long time without breaking. I can't remember
the name of it. And they're very expensive, but they
look so old school. That nice of me to try

(30:17):
to talk over the screaming children in the background.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
Oh, it's a Monday, So I go into the city Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
I love you. I'm covering for you. Are you kidding me?
It doesn't bother me. We're all in this together. This
is your Morning show with Michael and Old shown
