Speaker 4 (01:55):

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Hey, pizza boy, Bengals no more? Who did your morning show?

Speaker 1 (02:45):
No time like the President.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Had the Chief and I mean the world is hailing him,
Chief the great peacemaker, mister President, good morning.

Speaker 7 (02:57):
Well I want to say good morning to you, pizza boy.
You I will bring you piece everywhere.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
We're bringing piece everywhere except between Bagaly Billy Pritsker and
his scale.

Speaker 7 (03:06):
There's no piece.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
There's only pieces, right, he stands on his scale and
it's now pieces. You talk about obliteration, that poor thing.

Speaker 8 (03:14):
But we're doing very well.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
We're bringing peace to so many people, and really a
lot of people are very happy about it.

Speaker 8 (03:21):
You know, you have a lot of countries that are
very happy about it.

Speaker 7 (03:24):
So if they're happy, we're happy.

Speaker 5 (03:26):
And especially if we're happy, the rest of the people
are happy. If we're not happy, a lot of people
have a lot of problems you know that.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
I'm sitting here thinking of how historic the view was
for me, and I was up in the middle of
the night as it was happening.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
But you were it, you were living it.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
I mean, you were on that Air Force one making
a fly over a freed square. You were the ones
speaking to the Kanesset in Egypt and then flying home
exhausted and still hosting the Medal of Freedom ceremony for
Charlie Kirk. What was it like to live all that?

Speaker 8 (04:00):
It was a distinct honor to be able to do that.

Speaker 5 (04:03):
I can say it's a distinct honor. You know, we
went to the Middle East. We do a tremendous job
in the Middle East. The last time we were in
the Middle East, and when you think about it, we
dropped Stacy Abrams on the Iran nuclear facility. Remember that
we called it Operation Midnight Hammer. And could you imagine
if could you imagine if we weren't the president and

(04:25):
somebody else was president by the name of Kamala, it
would have been operation instead of Midnight Hammer, Operation hammered
by nude.

Speaker 8 (04:32):
You understand that because she has a.

Speaker 7 (04:34):
Problem, she has no problem.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
But she claims she's the most qualified candidate for president
ever New Washington.

Speaker 5 (04:42):
Well, I could claim that I'm the you know that
I'm the fastest man on the earth.

Speaker 7 (04:46):
But you're saying, Bill boy, I'm a big problem with me, right,
even though I'm probably faster than him, I never challenged him.

Speaker 5 (04:51):
He would never want to step up and race the
greatest sprint demigrade sprinter.

Speaker 7 (04:56):
You look at it.

Speaker 8 (04:58):
Now, she's a very stupid person. Let's be ho, she's
very stupid. She says he's qualified.

Speaker 7 (05:02):
She's very stupid.

Speaker 5 (05:03):
Uh And in fairness, with a lot of our pants presidents,
you have to be a stupid person.

Speaker 7 (05:07):
So maybe this is right.

Speaker 8 (05:09):
Maybe she's right. You look at George W.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
Bush, not the bright it's not the sharpest, they say,
not the sharpest tool.

Speaker 7 (05:15):
You look at Obama.

Speaker 8 (05:17):
You know he's a smart guy, but also a very
stupid guy.

Speaker 7 (05:19):
You look at Bider.

Speaker 8 (05:20):
What more needs to be said about Crooked Joe?

Speaker 7 (05:23):
And now you look at me.

Speaker 5 (05:24):
You know, the greatest guy, the highest IQ. Really, you know,
everybody talks about it in the history of the world.
And by the way, Bobby is very impressed.

Speaker 7 (05:33):
I call him Bobbie.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
Well, he saw my numbers, he saw my cardiac cardiac
age's sixty five.

Speaker 7 (05:39):
I'm seventy nine.

Speaker 8 (05:40):
They say sixty five.

Speaker 7 (05:42):
Bobby said, sir, how the hell did you that? I said,
a lot of golf, a lot of them gods, and
a lot.

Speaker 8 (05:47):
Of help from my friends, like Bobby.

Speaker 5 (05:49):
He's a tremendous guy, and that's always intind to call
him Bobby because our health is doing tremendously well.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Friday with forty seven, you were busy making history. Meanwhile, well,
Stephanopholis was sitting a new low with the treatment of
your vice president, and I guess you don't plan to
take any questions from ABC over that.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
Well, you look at George slap Adopolis. We call him
slap Adopolis because he's a sloppy guy. He's a slob
and another low IQ person, you know. But we're very
thankful for him, you know that, because we got sixteen
million dollars from Swapadophoulis.

Speaker 8 (06:26):
You look at him, and you look at that sixteen million.

Speaker 7 (06:29):
It's a lot of money.

Speaker 8 (06:30):
You look at that, and we're going to use that
for a presidential library.

Speaker 7 (06:35):
You know. Crooked Joe.

Speaker 8 (06:36):
They say, Crooked.

Speaker 5 (06:36):
Joe's not building a presidential library because well, first of all,
he can't read You know that he used to be.

Speaker 7 (06:42):
Able to read. He can't read it anymore.

Speaker 8 (06:46):
President, excuse me, Let me just tell yourself.

Speaker 5 (06:50):
Get down.

Speaker 7 (06:51):
We have to be careful. We have to be very careful.

Speaker 6 (06:53):
I'm very tense.

Speaker 7 (06:54):
I came back from the Middle East. I've got a
happy trigger finger. You gotta be careful.

Speaker 8 (06:58):
And I used to get your confused with Sean Hannity.

Speaker 7 (07:00):
He jumps all over.

Speaker 8 (07:01):
Me when I'm talking right.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
So we don't want here is that I don't want
to be No, I don't.

Speaker 5 (07:06):
But you look at Slapadopolis and he's a tough gotta
look at. But when you look at Slapadopolis, sixteen million dollars,
we're building a big, beautiful fake news wing. We're gonna
feature Slapadopolis and CBS para map.

Speaker 8 (07:20):
Who knows, maybe we'll.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
Feature Jimmy Kimmel, so we'll put him in the basement
where his ratings are.

Speaker 7 (07:26):
Maybe.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
All right, let's talk about mom, Donnie. He clearly, with
Martha McCallum on Fox, would not call An Hamas to disarm.
He says, it's far too early to give you or
anybody else's credit for peace. It sounds like he's is
lomist and rooting against America, against peace and against Israel.
And uh, he's still planning on arresting which he can't legally.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Uh, but he's planning on arresting Net and Yahoo.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
And then I mean, there's is no question in this
race this guy's inn is lomist.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
But nobody I'll ever ask him the question.

Speaker 7 (08:01):
Well, no, he's a nasty guy. You look at him.
He's a very nasty guy.

Speaker 5 (08:05):
He's a young guy, but a nasty guy. And uh,
you know he wants to arrest BB. And I don't
call him Bobby. I call him BB. Right, you look
at that, but we call him BB. He's he's a
great person.

Speaker 7 (08:17):
We get along very well. Uh, you can't arrest them.
He's not going to arrest him.

Speaker 8 (08:21):
He's not going to be able to arrest him.

Speaker 9 (08:24):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (08:24):
Maybe we're going to arrest mom Donnie will see what happens.
But I don't know how we would do it, who
we might do it. But he's doing some terrible things
in New York City's gonna do horrible thing, and we're
gonna cut off the funding. We're gonna cut off the
funding like you've never seen.

Speaker 7 (08:40):
They're not gonna get any money.

Speaker 5 (08:41):
So uh zorn, mam, Donnie. He's a radical left wing,
crazy Marxist guy. He's already getting the Statue of Liberty
fitted for a burka.

Speaker 7 (08:51):
Could you believe that?

Speaker 8 (08:53):
They say to me, sir, don't say that. They say
I said, We're gonna say it because it's true.

Speaker 5 (09:00):
Daddy is a nasty guys. We call him the Manhattan Maniac.
He's a nasty.

Speaker 7 (09:05):
Guy and we don't want to see him win. But
the only other guy is a toolbag.

Speaker 8 (09:11):
In Andrew Cuomo.

Speaker 7 (09:12):
He's another horrible person, right, so we don't like him either.

Speaker 5 (09:16):
So New York unless they elect a good person, which
they probably won't do because there's a.

Speaker 7 (09:21):
Lot of stupid people who took over New York. When
I was in New York.

Speaker 8 (09:24):
There were a lot of smart people.

Speaker 7 (09:26):
I was the last smart guy in New York, and
I left and then it went to hell.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
So here's the issue.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
He wants to give free buses, you know, free healthcare,
free childcare. Well, just a childcare and bus alone is
eight billion dollars. Now, Kathy Hochel, the governor who I
know you're a fan of, she is pledging no new
taxes you can't raise taxes in New York City without
the governor's approval. I mean, somebody's lying and somebody's banding
or both.

Speaker 5 (09:53):
Well, you look at Kathy Hockel, she is the buck
tooth boattox bandit of Buffalo.

Speaker 8 (09:58):
And Buffalo, by the way, has a.

Speaker 7 (09:59):
Lot of problems.

Speaker 5 (10:00):
You look at the bills, right, you look at the
Buffalo bills.

Speaker 6 (10:03):
They lost.

Speaker 8 (10:03):
They look four and two.

Speaker 5 (10:04):
I have to say this, by the way, the teams
that they beat are a combined three and twenty one.

Speaker 7 (10:09):
Can you believe that? But when they face a.

Speaker 5 (10:12):
Good team, When you face a good team, I have
to say this, when you pat they lose. They lost
to the Patriots, which is a great team. And the
Atlanta Falcons. Who the hell knows about the Atlanta I
can tell you something though, I know all about very
bad things in Atlanta.

Speaker 7 (10:27):
We saw what happened in twenty twenty. But we don't
want to go there. The bills, there are a lot
of trouble.

Speaker 8 (10:32):
But you look at you look at uncle the bucker
boatox band in a Buffalo A horrible person.

Speaker 5 (10:38):
There's another word that starts with B that I'd love
to describe it.

Speaker 6 (10:41):
But we're going to do that.

Speaker 7 (10:44):
We will never I would never do something like that.
At locker room talk. You look at her and you
look at mom Donnie.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
They're gonna have a lot of problems together. They're gonna
have a lot of problems between those two. New York
has been run into the ground and someone's got to
save it.

Speaker 8 (11:00):
And maybe somebody will say, but maybe when.

Speaker 5 (11:02):
I'm done with president in a few years, we'll save
New York.

Speaker 7 (11:06):
Let's see what happens.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Closing moments with forty seven himself and I fear that
maybe you have disarmed the buffalo bills, but the plan
on hamas they're obviously not behaving in the gaza with others.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Where do you think this is headed?

Speaker 8 (11:22):
Well, I think we are. We're going to get them
to disarm.

Speaker 7 (11:25):
You know that they don't want to mess with me.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
Just look at what we did with the drug boats
in Venezuela. We said row, row, row your boat, right,
and the next thing that happened is they were fish food.

Speaker 7 (11:35):
And now you have a bunch of sharks and a
bunch of fish that are cracked out.

Speaker 5 (11:40):
You saw the drugs are all over the water, and
because you're cracked out, it's unbelievable.

Speaker 10 (11:45):
You know that.

Speaker 5 (11:45):
And you have Hunter Biden. All of a sudden, Hunter
Biden is a Smuba.

Speaker 8 (11:49):
Diamon because you believe that.

Speaker 7 (11:50):
I wonder what he's after.

Speaker 8 (11:51):
I wonder what he's after. But Hamas is gonna disarm. Well,
we're gonna disarm them.

Speaker 7 (11:58):
We're going to do the same thing to them that
we into our We have.

Here's the thirty three year old mom, Donnie.

Speaker 11 (13:58):
And the definition of experience is not doing the same
thing again and again and hoping for a different result.
That's actually the definition of insane. Cuomo fired back.

In other words, what the assemblingman said is he has
no experience, and this is not a job for someone
who has no management experience.

God's word says there is no authority, accept that given
by him. God put Trump in the White House in
New York, went after him unrighteously and his family. Keep
in mind the word that says it's a righteous thing
for God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you.

(19:50):
Perhaps this Marxist Islamist, maybe that tribulation.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Have a good day, all right.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
So when you read email or text messages from people
you know, do you read it in your voice and
your mood or their voice and what you project their
mood to be. This is what option be b Well,
that was what became the big problem in the business world.
When emails appeared. People started reading emails in the tone

(20:20):
of their mood, which wasn't the tone it was intended,
and there was a lot of miscommunication. I say all
that to say whenever Jimmy Suits emails me, I always
read it in Jimmy's voice, So I warn you this
might be loud. Boys.

Speaker 13 (20:35):
I'm so disappointed I wasn't invited to lux with Big
John today.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
It would have been a blast. Oh sure, I may
have been thrown out, but that's okay.

Speaker 13 (20:44):
I been to Nashville before and I don't need the
j out of them.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
Why didn't you guys invite him? I didn't know he
was here.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Rush had the remember the rushroom phenomenon. People go to
lunch and listen to Rush Limbaugh and need a certain restaurants.
Yeah yeah, And of course that was a love for
Rush Limbaugh. Our listeners, they just love each other. Whether
I'm there or not, They're ready to have a good time.
Redd had a great idea, we need a convention, your
morning c show convention or the host doesn't.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Show up, just the listeners your morning show.

Speaker 7 (21:15):
All right.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
It looks like Donald Trump may have finally realized that
the Hamas cancer sell just simply can't remain. It was
one of my biggest points of naivete in his twenty
point piece plan. This notion that a Hamas would disarm
be if they did, they'd stay disarmed, or see that

(21:37):
they would suddenly convert to some lesser form of radical Islam.
It's like leaving cancer cells in the body and pretending
that they won't be what they are a cancer. Sell Oh,
they'll suddenly be a healthy so another cancer, and you
can't leave them in the body. They will grow, and
they will metastasize, and they will attack other cells. So

(22:02):
that's how it always is with radical Islam. And I
think in this particular case, and we really don't know
for sure, is there some Hamas leadership that was going
to turn over the twenty living turn over as many
bodies as they can find and try to cooperate for
a little while until they regroup and others in the
Gaza just haven't gotten the memo yet. That could be

(22:26):
or they never planned to give up the gaza. Either way,
the President's got to deal with it now. So the
President is saying, disarm or we're going to kill you.
I think if nothing else, if the President has to
go in and kill them, he can't allow them to remain.
But the president's quote was if Hamas continues to kill
people in the Gaza, which was not the deal, we

(22:48):
will have no choice but to go in and kill them.
Those operations could happen as soon as this weekend. Meanwhile,
Trump added that the bodies of hostages held by Hamas
that had been returned earned to Israel on Thursday. They
also said that they're going to behave. We're going to
find out if they behave. If they behave good, If

(23:09):
they don't behave, we'll take care of it. In terms
of the bodies, I don't know, and I think it's
somewhat legitimate. I don't think they know where these bodies are,
and it's going to take They're asking for help. It
is that important to the families in Israel to find them.
It may take an international committee to come in and
do the search and find these remains for them and

(23:32):
return them to their Jewish families. Meanwhile, the President, maybe
as soon as this weekend, is going to have to
strike in the Gaza and get rid of this remaining
element of Hamas that isn't cooperating. Meanwhile, the President is
turning his big attention towards peace between Russia and Ukraine.
Zelensky Ukrainian president will be at the White House today.

(23:53):
The President announced plans to meet with Putin in Budapest.
There have been no dates. You can search through all
these stories, no dates and set. But Trump is saying
the plan is to hold a meeting in Budapest at
a date yet to be announced, and that the two
leaders have agreed to such a meeting, but they haven't

(24:14):
worked out the date yet, and this comes as progress.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Please don't take this as foreign policy analysis.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
One might speculate that Donald Trump's threat of using Tomahawk
missiles through Ukraine pushed Booten towards at least setting a meeting.
Does he need a more bigger push to set a date.
Time will tell, and a key meeting at the White
House today was Selensky. But I think what it signals

(24:46):
is and we all said this. I watched that From
the Earth to the Moon, which I haven't seen since
the late nineties, and I was reminded quickly how much
better it was than even the movie Ron Howard made,
and that was brilliant. Apollo thirteen, but they did one
episode in the series about nineteen sixty eight, and it
really was a year that reminds me a lot of

(25:06):
twenty twenty five, from the writing to the assassinations and
assassination attempts to the violence, and then at the end
they finally circle the moon, and when they come around
the dark side of the moon, they get their first
glimpse of the only color in space, Planet Earth, the

(25:28):
only planet that looks alive. Imagine spending all that time
sixteen miles looking down at the dust of the moon.
You come around in darkness and there's this ball of life.
And it inspired the astronauts to read from Genesis the
creation story when they wished everybody a good night, everybody
on the good Earth.

Speaker 5 (25:48):
And then.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Houston decided to read them some telegrams that they had received,
and one I believe was from President Johnson, you know,
other big names. And they get to the last one
and they say, this is a missus Porter. I don't
think you're going to know her or recognize her name,
but all the guys felt like you needed to hear
this telegram and it simply said, thank you, you saved

(26:14):
nineteen sixty eight. And I said, earlier this week, and
I think there's going to be some turbulence, but things
are headed towards peace. What can't be ignored. Is what
Trump did accomplish. The twenty living hostages are home. Nine
of the bodies are home, and we'll find the other seventeen.

(26:39):
Hamas probably is not going to cooperate. They probably never
were going to cooperate. I wouldn't have left that cancer
sell in that region period, and I suspect that they're
going to be surgically removed. And then that's when the
last piece kicks in with the President has masterfully done
beating back Amas, beating back hasba Llah, beating back the

(26:59):
hoo Thy, creating an alliance with the Arabian nations as
well as the reasonable Muslim nations, especially Turkey, to kind
of oversee this area so that American Israel doesn't have
to do it, and so that Palestinians don't have to
turn to thugs like Amas or the PLO, that they
might actually experience an actual rebuild, real security, real peace,

(27:26):
real prosperity, and take a shot at living. Right now,
there is still one last chance for this tall to
blow up, and that is that the Palestinian people, like
their radical leaders they keep choosing, do not believe Israel
has a right to exist as they are within the
borders of Israel. But there is a chance for not forever,

(27:50):
trust me. I've read the end of the book, but
for a lasting piece. And there is clear signs that
the President is now moving on to create a peace
and an end to this Russian Ukrainian word if he
does so by the end of the year, and even
if he doesn't, he's still going to get the no
about peace price. But if he gets that done, then
he gets the missus Porter. Thank you, mister President, you

(28:11):
save twenty twenty five.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
It's your morning show with Michael del Jarno.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Two stories we didn't get to today and I really
wanted to. Two axios stories. One, how the Democrats are
plotting to get Fetterman out. Remember, if you're far left,
whether it's socialist or Islamist, you pull the whole party
in if you're sensible, which puts you in a position
to become very powerful.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
We saw that.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
With the West Virginia Senator for the longest period of time. Well,
that's what Fetterman's role has been, and they're trying to
force him out. You're no longer welcome, Sensible Democrats are
no longer welcome. That's an interesting story and coming from
Axios with their inside scoop, you really get a good
glimpse of it. And then the other is that dozens
of Democrat House candidates will not commit to backing Hakeem Jeffreys.

(29:01):
Could things begin to cave? Our money whiz and economist
David Bonson joined us yesterday and he said, isn't it
funny you're not seeing the legacy left media doing many
stories because this is not faring well, and we had
more pull in our polls of plenty today. We also
didn't get to things are shifting more and more towards
blaming the Democrats. So I actually think that there might

(29:21):
be the Democrats caving and ending this shutdown. But remember,
don't celebrate long. You'll only be two weeks away from
the next shutdown. That's the level of dere election of
duty we have in the House in Washington and Congress.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
All right.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Former National Security advisor John Bolton indicted eighteen counts related
to handling of classified documents. Although they're just playing well,
I'm the latest victim of the tyrant Trump and the
weaponization of the Justice Department. And then real question is
did he do it? Then we had the New York
City Debate. We played a lot of those highlights as
Freely has passed away at the age of seventy four.

(29:59):
The guitarists from Kiss Cincinnati fought back to beat the
Steelers thirty three to thirty one, as the Joe Flacco
trade really came through for them. On Thursday Night football.
Blue Jays love being in Seattle. They've tied the series
up two games apiece. They I don't remember what the
total was. Since arriving, they have outscored the Mariners twenty

(30:19):
one to six and two games.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
Trust me, they don't want to go back to Toronto and.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Rory's here because well, President Trump's going to be meeting
with the Ukrainian presidents Lenski at the White House. There's
talk of a meeting in Budapest with Putin, and then
in the meantime the grand jury indictment of National Security
Advisor John Bolton.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
That's a lot to wrap up.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
With a busy White House after a busy early week
of peace. Moving on of peace to Russia and Ukraine
is the main topic, right.

Speaker 16 (30:56):
And we saw that phone call yesterday with Presidents Putin
and Trump starting that discussion about Tomahawk missiles and whether
or not the US will allow for the sale of
those long range missiles to Ukraine.

Speaker 6 (31:08):
That's why Zelenski is at the Oval office today for lunch.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Tomahawk stakes perhaps for one, as they.

Speaker 16 (31:15):
Decided that was too easy, wasn't it. It's also like
the tenth time I've used it. Oh okay, I liked it.

Speaker 7 (31:22):
I laugh.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yes, a Tomahawk's stake.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
But I had made the point that, you know, Putin's
just kind of installing, stalling Stallin. Then the Tomahawk missile
issue comes up, and now they've set buddhapest.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
They just haven't set the date.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
I suspect if you launch a couple of those, maybe
he'll set the date as well.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
But it seems to be pushing Putin to the table.

Speaker 16 (31:42):
Something isn't oh right, And once there is going to
be sort of a pre meeting with Secretary Rubio ahead
of that Trump Putin meeting. Secretary of Rubio is going
to have something with his counterpart as well to sort
of set the stage, because look, the last meeting I
think it was it certainly put on a great show
for Putin, but as a result, actually Putin ended up

(32:02):
launching more attacks to Ukraine.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
So we didn't get the result we were hoping for.

Speaker 16 (32:07):
So now with the wind that is back, and after
all that success in the Middle East this week, I
think President Trump is trying to strike while the iron
is hot.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
So this one's kind of narrativized by the matrix. John
Bolton follows Komy and Letitia James and gets indicted eighteen
counts related to handling of classified documents, ten of which
were on a flimsy AOL account that got hacked, others
remained in his possession. Eighteen counts in all. I threw
in the one for seventies mustache but it didn't stick.

(32:38):
But this will all be narrativized. Right the left will say, well,
this is the tyrant Trump and the weaponized Justice Department,
And I guess the right would say, it's about time
some of these guys get the same treatment they dished out,
or that we start getting some justice for this corruption
so that doesn't happen in the future. And somewhere in
the middle is what reality. Well, yeah, typically you call

(32:59):
it narrative. I call it noise.

Speaker 16 (33:00):
But yeah, so the interesting thing here is that this
happened out of Maryland, not the Eastern District of Virginia.
Like we saw with the last two indictments that some
have said were pretty flimsy, this time around, most say
there's meat on the bones with these allegations. The defense being, Hey,
the FBI knew about this five years ago after the
hack of the AOL account, and they are only choosing

(33:22):
to prosecute now because it's a political prosecution by Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
So let me get this straight. If you're ever sitting
around and wondering who's still on AOL? I have one
friend still on AOL, Joe Vigliola, Joe vig and Tampa.
Every time I get something an email and says that AOL,
And I'm like, who's still on AOL? Boltons of our secrets?
No I have, but that was where I started on AOL.
So I'd like to joke about that.

Speaker 16 (33:47):
But I know another national radio figure of who I
contact through AOL.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yep, seriously, still on AOL.

Speaker 16 (33:54):
You would know that person's name as well, and they're
on AOL. Well you could say it, No, what do
you mean to him?

Speaker 7 (34:01):
Is?

Speaker 5 (34:01):
I mean?

Speaker 6 (34:01):
Guess you're nice?

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Ton't want to embarrass him? And did it?

Speaker 9 (34:04):
Next week?

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Nice? On what's coming up this weekend on the Weekend
Dive with Rory Union.

Speaker 16 (34:11):
Yeah, we're also you know, we've all talked about AI
so much that we're sort of like, we don't even
know what it means. But in the past couple of weeks,
we're also hearing more chatter about the AI bubble and
hard things about to burst. So we'll focus on the bubble,
and there's been so much bubble talk we're wondering if
it's a double bubble.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
We'll talk about that.

Speaker 16 (34:28):
What's the crazy cost of Halloween candy? Will my one
hundred grand actually cost me one hundred grand? And will
I be forced to give up raisins this year? I
don't think it's gonna be one hundred grand.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
The Weekend Dive.

the iHeartRadio app.
