Speaker 2 (00:09):
He's the new Secretary of the Interior. Would you look
at that? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Surprised, No, I mean he was positioning himself to get something.
He kept showing up to that trial. It's like pick me,
pick me, isn't.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
That what do they call him these days? One of
those pick me girls?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Yeah, yeah, except he's like a bazillionaire politician type of those.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Turned his ankle play and pick up basketball in cowboy boots. Yeah,
it wasn't really that. It was more just like an
obliteration of achilles tendon. But yeah, he seems to have
recovered from that. I mean he couldn't play basketball today.
Actually yeah he could.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
It's been a year. It's been a year since that happened, right,
m h Yeah, that's usually the shelf life for that.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, So he's fine, he's fine, he
can walk, you can play basketball. Yeah, it's a Doug
Bergham Secretary of the Interior. Could pop quiz? Give me
name one Secretary of the Interior over the last twenty years.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Martha Stewart. That's not true. Well, she's an interior designer.
You know what, I always get those confused one, Okay,
Sarah Barelli.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
No, just name one ever, like like, yeah, just any
anyone that's.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Gone on to other things that I would even recognize,
you know, like what Chris Christie Maybe I don't know.
He doesn't get out much. No, No, I don't know. No. No,
let me think of random politicians and I'll keep trying. No,
how about Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
No, the only one that's even kind of like in
this the last one hundred years, make that one hundred
and ten years. The only one that's like, yeah, make
that one hundred and twenty years, The only one that
I kind of recognizes. James Garfield is the son of
the president that got killed by the insane guy at
the train station of the same name. Yeah, James Garfield.
(01:57):
He named his son James Garfield in this. James Garfield
was Secretary of the Interior for a couple of years
under Teddy Roosevelt.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Okay, so you kind of set me up to fail there. Correct.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Correct, There was a guy named Orville Browning. There was
a guy named James Harland. Do you think that's the
guy he's from Iowa. You think they named the town
of Harland after him? Is that the guy they had
to name it after somebody? Yeah, I don't know. Anyway,
Harlan was a close friend of Abraham Lincoln and was
(02:30):
Secretary of the Interior under Johnson Andrew Johnson. Yeah, there's
no obvious answers to this. So is it a super
important job? I'm sure it is. Deb Holland from New
Mexico is uh, she's been Joe Biden's.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
For pretty much the entire time. So there you go.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Anyway, Rob, says Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt from the Clinton administration.
Bruce Babbitt, Ding, ding, Ding, He's a winner, got that
one right on the head. Bruce Babbitt actually served the
entire term, the entire Like, that's rare. Wow, somebody stayed
for eight years in the same job under one president.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
You ever seen that old Looney Tunes cartoon where like
there it's a couple of couple of guys there. I
think they're rabbits, and one of them just keeps yelling, babbit, No,
they're cats. Oh they're cats. Yeah, that's it, they're cats.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, it's a it's like Abbott and Costello except their
cats and they're going after That was Tweety's first first cartoon. Oh,
it was before Sylvester came around.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I was thinking that when I hear the word babbitt,
I that's a classic Looney Tunes. Yeah it is.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I mean, it really is so good with a couple
of characters that didn't really last very long. You know,
Tweety was the one that survived there the longest. But yeah, anyway,
that's the big one. That's the big one. There's there's
some others that. You know, a lot of people are
going after Tulsa Gabbard as like why why is she
getting national intelligence? And I saw AOC jumped on MSNBC
(04:02):
to talk about this and said that that is she's
more like she's more concerned about Tulsa Gabbard getting appointed
is devastating and it's way worse than even Matt Gates
getting appointed.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
And I just.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I don't know, this is you know what I you
know what I think and quote you can quote me
on this. They're just trying to set themselves up the
best that they can to talk about how bad things
are going for Trump and the Republicans, because that's that's
how politics work.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
They can't just start talking.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
They're not gonna sit here and wait to see what
happens and then start to try to tear it apart.
They're gonna start They're gonna use their political little brains
now to demean what the Trump administration is doing from
the time he was elected to the time he is
out of office, because that's what makes them more attractive, right.
(04:51):
I mean, you have to be constantly just going after
and after and after them, right, That's just how it works.
You can't just be telling people, oh, yeah, things are
great until they don't go great, and the same thing
can be happened on the other side. Whatever the Democratic
A Team would have looked like, for you know, a
Democratic presidential candidate like let's se Kamala Harris gets elected,
(05:11):
and she puts together the Democrat A Team an AO
season one spot, and she pulls in a Keem Jeffries
into another spot, which would be a bad idea because
he's the Leader of the House for their party, but
you know, still, and then she grabs you know, Bernie
Sanders for another thing, and they bring back and Michelle
Obama wants to get in the mix, and she appoints
her something or whatever. Like, imagine that a team. No
(05:34):
matter what, Republicans are going to say, this is bad.
These are bad people. They're not gonna do good their
jobs very well. This is just part of the gig,
you know what I'm saying. I have an open mind
about this stuff. Yeah, you can tell me that certain
people like Tulci Gabbert or Pete Haigsith or you know where,
Christy Nome or any of these other people. Oh yeah,
they may not have like specific experience, they're going to
(05:55):
stink at their jobs. Okay, fine, but you can't tell
me you know that for a fact. You're just saying
that because you don't like them and you want it
to sound stupid. That's what happens to me too. The
Green Bay Packers could sign the ghost of Johnny Unitis
to be their next quarterback, and I'm going to say, oh,
that's stupid, that's dumb.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Johnny unit It's a great quarterback of all time. But
I'm not going to give the Packers any credit. I'm
going to try to demean them at every turn. That's
just who I am as a Bears fan. It works
like that in politics too. Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and
Teddy Roosevelt could all be in this cabinet and the
Democrats would just be, you know, shooting it all to heck.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
You can only determine that by hindsight.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Damn it.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
How But that's the thing though, these Yeah, they're guessing
that this is going to be bad.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
They don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
They're just saying it because it's beneficial for the Democrats
to talk smack about what the Republicans are doing.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Right, but also from their vantage point, these politicians want
to do things that they don't think are good for
this country. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
At the same time, how do they know they lost?
They took the l American people felt differently, Monny, you
suck it up for a little bit. I get it
this part of the game. But you just sound like
so losers. Right now, Let's let them do some work
and see if it does. Indeed suck. They suck, That's
what I think. This whole thing sucks. Them going on
television and talking smack about people they don't even know
(07:11):
how good they're going to be at their job.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Smack talk them stupid.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Anyway, to eighteen, we got to talk about old men
getting in fist fights with boxing gloves on. We got
to talk about things that come in forest and I
want to talk about, just briefly, Scottish fireworks and why
I hate them next on news Radio eleven ten KFAB and.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Marie Songer on News Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Can you be a notary, like a verbal notary that
I am sitting here and I have said, with the
disclaimer at the top of this argument, that I am
not in favor of taking away anyone's right to anything.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I can notarize that you've said that. I have said that.
Now you've said that. Okay, I notarized that you've said it.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Now it may sound differently now that I'm going to
talk about what I want to talk about. First of all,
do you don't want to say that we're the name
of the big town in Scotland starts.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
With e uh like Edinburgh.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Nice. Yeah, you're close. It's spelled like Edinburgh Edinburgh, but
it's Edinburgh Edinburgh, Yeah, Edinburgh Edinburgh or Edinburgh if you
want to, like, just smash those last two syllables together Edinburgh.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I had a Scottish I lived with a Scottish guy
in college. For a couple of years. Yeah, yeah, he
was touchy about stuff like that. Did he break out
the kilt? No, no, but he said he wore a
kilt the prom. So they didn't bring one state side.
Now why not? Because he was like, what would he
have worn it? You think he's gonna get girls in
a kilt? Yes, he got girls. He would get more
(08:41):
in a kilt. I don't think he would out there
in bagpipes and a kilt. He doesn't know how to
play the bagpipes. That is not something they just know
how to do over.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
There doesn't even have to play it, he just can
hold them.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, there was expensive and there's not very many of
them that are available to a twenty year old college kid.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Shut up, I'm trying to work on something here. I'm sorry.
Go ahead anyway. Edinburgh has a zoo.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
It's called the Edinburgh Zoo, and I just hate this story,
but I have to talk about it because this is
what we do here, right Like I have a forum
to talk about the stuff that bothers me. This is
something that bothers me. Zoo keepers at the Edinburgh Zoo
have blamed fireworks for the death of a baby red
panda Roxy is a baby red panda roughly three months old.
(09:23):
And have you seen the red panda. There's a red
panda or red pandas over at Henry Doorley Zoo.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
That's what they tell me. But every single time I've
been there, I never get a glimpse.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
But I have They can be in the trees and
they have access to indoors all the time.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, they're den which is good.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Yeah, most zoo animals have the ability to go inside
or outside to their liking most of the time. What
they said this is Deputy Chief Executive of the Royal
Zoological Society of Scotland, Ben Supple says Roxy had access
to her den, but the frightening noises seem to have
been too much for her. Very sadly she choked on
(10:00):
her own vomit on Bonfire night and our vets believe
this was probably a reaction to fireworks. Yeah, and they
have a bonfire night, So basically what that is. In
sixteen oh five, it's Guy Fox Day.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Have you have you? Have you heard of Guy Fox?
I have?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
And the weird face thing and all that stuff. Yeah, yeah,
yea yeah yeah yeah. Sixteen oh five was a failed
plot in sixteen oh five to blow up British Parliament
and they commemorate that in early November. According to the
zoo keepers, they say that, okay, so her mom was
a little older and she actually passed away earlier this summer,
(10:37):
just like a few weeks before, and they said she
was actually responding pretty well. They were unsure because that's
a bad time to lose your mom, right, even in captivity,
when there are people that can step in and kind
of help feed her and get her up to health.
Many people said that, you know, that's a tough time,
right for a three month old who still would be
(10:58):
with mom to still be like without mom and try
to figure this out.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Well, she they said that she was losing weight and
she was responding better to eating and stuff, but then
she choked on her you know, the John bottom. She
did the John bottom and passed away. Now I can't
say under any circumstance that this is entirely related to
the fireworks, because I looked up the map, because this
(11:26):
is what a good person who knows cares about this
stuff does. You know where Edinburgh Zoo is right smack
dab in the middle of Edinburgh. Okay, where is the
Henry Doorley Zoo in relation to Omaha.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
South like on the edge right downtown.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, and like Blank Park Zoo, which is the Moine Zoo,
also on the south side of town. It is not
right dead center, right in the middle of everything. Not
a great spot to be if everybody in town is
going to be firing off a bunch of fireworks.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Am I right? I could see that.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
The vets believe if it was a reaction to fireworks
that she got so scared. As three months old, we
know animals have adverse reaction to fireworks, but now there's
a huge push. They have gotten tens of thousands of
signatures in the last two days since this news came
out this week, tens of thousands of signatures of people
trying to ban or regulate or force people to have
licenses to get fireworks in Edinburgh. What do you think
(12:22):
a license to buy fireworks? Could that be applicable to
a place like here?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
A license?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, like you have to apply to then have the
ability to walk into a fireworks store and then buy
the fireworks. Now again economically, that's the first thing that
popped up here when I was like getting the reaction.
There are people within the government that say, look, this
is a tragedy and we don't want to lose an
animal at the zoo, especially one like the red panda,
which is critically endangered in the wild. Even if they
(12:49):
do very well in zoos, they are critically endangered in
the wild.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Okay, And you.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Want to know, you want to know something here. They
can say it's sad, but I understand they have to govern.
And they said, you don't understand there is an economic
impact if we just decide, hey, it's going to be
impossible to sell fireworks anymore. And I don't want to
suggest that because remember remember what I said at the
beginning of this segment. I don't want to suggest any
of that. I don't want to take that away from people.
(13:14):
I'm just saying, how enjoyable are blowing up that those
fireworks compared to like the danger we talk about this
near independence say, and I just still don't get it,
not just the danger of like hurting yourself. You hear
people all the time accidentally blowing off a finger or
hurting themselves because they were trying to light it blow
up a firework and they mismanaged their time somehow, or
(13:39):
it shot the wrong direction. You've heard of those stories.
I have, everybody has. Yeah, of course, it's not an
uncommon thing to have happened to people, because people who
are not professionals mess around with this stuff all the time.
My dogs have had some serious issues with them the
last couple of years, which is different than in previous years.
I don't know what happened to them, but now like
(14:00):
they're six year old dogs and they still were, you know,
really messed up by the fireworks. I have to calm
them down and try to you know, like, I'm not
the only person that has that issue. I understand that.
And here we have actual, somewhat evidence. I don't know,
like I said, I don't know if it's one hundred
percent to blame. I don't think we have that kind
of information. But the people in the zoo, based on
(14:23):
the timing of all this and how this happened, they
say that the fireworks probably were to blame for her reaction,
and she, unfortunately with no person inside her den with her,
was unable to survive, choking on her own regurgitation, if
you will. It's an incredibly sad story. The reason I
share it is because maybe we can just I think
(14:44):
it's important to think about other things when we do
and make decisions for ourselves. And this isn't me telling
you not to fire off fireworks, and this isn't me
telling you that it should be illegal to own or.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Fire off fireworks. I'm just saying that.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
But there are a lot of people and things in
life adversely affected by pyrotechnics, and that.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Goes beyond just you.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
And there are some people that do enjoy them, and
I'm not trying to discount that either, but it just
seems to me like there's a lot more potential negatives
than there are potential positives, especially with the advent of
you know, safe drone shows and things of that nature
that I was able to see a couple of this year,
and those are really impressive. Just throwing that out there.
(15:32):
But may that poor young red fox or red panda,
sorry red panda Roxy, may she rest in peace in
zoo heaven. It's two twenty nine, all right, let's get goofy.
When we come back. We got plenty of things to
talk about, including an old man trying to take on
a kid with a beard. Next on News Radio eleven
ten kfab.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Emery Sunger on News radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
How much is that worth to you? Well, if I
have Okay, I'm gonna cheat because if I have all
the money in the world that Mike am, I'll say
you have one billion dollars? Well, I mean I'd kind
of be like I would, I would test the waters.
What's what's your rate?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Like?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
If I knew that this was really gonna help my campaign?
Would it me personally? I don't know. I don't know
what am I running for president? I could see that helping. Yeah,
you know why because I don't think Oprah would normally
endorse me, right, because I mean you'd have to pay
her for the endorsement. But you think her endorsement would
matter for you? I think it would help. It might
help me bridge the gap with some voters and get
(16:30):
me to where I need to be, and I'd be
a great president. Is that weird?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Is that weird that you you would need to pay
somebody just to support you anyway that normally wouldn't support you.
Maybe isn't that kind of against like the whole idea
of an endorsement? Cardi b says she wasn't paid for
her appearance. By the way, what have you heard some
of the There was a very prominent YouTuber who got
a letter from the Harris campaign that was like, hey,
here's much here's how much we'll pay you to indorse me.
(16:55):
And he talked about that on streaming on his you know,
on his show that he had on YouTube, which yeah,
I mean if he was a fan, and he was,
you know, he's already a fan paired to be a supporter,
then cool, Yeah, pay me and I'll show up. Well,
but I'll stick my neck out for it. Yeah, okay,
I can see that. But just paying somebody to support you,
(17:17):
we it feels weird. Cardi b says she wasn't paid
and good because she didn't earn nothing. Uh, she she
did more damage than she did good for that campus,
who Cogan paid?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I don't think so, I I it's hard. I don't.
I don't know. That's a good question. I don't. Is
the my pillow guy paid? People pay him for his pillows.
They pay him for his pillows. But I don't.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I don't think the campaign itself paid him. It wouldn't
that be a guy you would just bring it along
for the ride. I think he's along for the ride. Yeah,
just like hey, come with us. You know.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I think he finds out their road in advance and
just shows up. That's why I came.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I might where we need somebody to be the pillow
guy in the in the White House who wants pillows.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
No, oh brah, one million dollars one million, one million
for a five minute speech at a town hall in Philadelphia?
Are we okay with that? Are we okay with just
giving millions of dollars to people to do this? Isn't
that kind of against what the whole politics thing was?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
If somebody's already an avid supporter, I can see paying
them to appear or to give a speech, because that's
not nothing like you have to prepare for that, you know,
Like I I if I go in speak in the classroom,
that's one thing, you know. I've done that before. I'm
not gonna ask somebody to pay me for that. I
do that because I want to help the next generation.
But if somebody's trying to actually gain something by me
(18:36):
being there with my presence, like hey, we need somebody
to en see this awards show or something, and I've
been asked to do that too, guess what they've paid me.
You know why, because like that takes effort, It takes time.
You can't be doing stuff for free in this world
at the same time paying somebody strictly so they would
support you. That seems weird to me. It seems weird.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Well, you're paying for the speech though, right may maybe,
but we're also talking like that person specifically that you
were talking about, got a letter that said, here's the
price that we can offer you if you endorse Kamala.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Harris, And I think it came with a script too,
that tells me, right like you're buying endorsements. That just
sounds it feels nasty to me.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
It's certainly it's the opposite of grassroots, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Exactly the old, the old nineteen eighty style too, or
it's not a lot of given that it's like concrete.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Yeah, like the Brady Bunch Astro turf. Oh, you're all
on that. You're going to skin your elbow worse than
you ever imagine. Yeah. I saw somewhere Beyonce's number is fluctuating.
I saw five million.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Jeff just sent me an email and said it was
ten million for Beyonce. I don't know what the number was,
but she was on stage for roughly four and a
half minutes. What are we doing here? Five million dollars
maybe ten million dollars for somebody to give you a
speech to endorse you for what? Aren't the most power
full endorsements the ones of people that you're not like
(20:04):
sure about. I'm not so sure about what you know
a certain person thinks, right, like who's Who's a person
that you genuinely would be surprised if they supported a
political candidate all the ones you just meant it mentioned
but for the other side. Yeah, but yeah, exactly, That's
what I'm saying, right. Would it have been an incredibly
powerful endorsement to get somebody who was center right that
(20:26):
was somewhat notable, like somebody who's never Trump, I mean
like McCain, sure, and Cheney, Like Liz Cheney was like
kind of but you're talking more in the entertainment. I'm
talking like somebody that you know is generally like liked
because of work they do outside of politics, and then
they kind of surprise you, like, hey, I'm actually more
(20:48):
of a Republican, but I'm supporting Kamala. That would have
been like a really big deal, way bigger of a
deal than any of these people were talking about. We
talked about Beyonce and Cardi B and Megan the Stallion
and Lady Gaga and all this stuff, Like none of
those were surprising that they were aligned with her, So
who did they really like?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Get same thing with Taylor Swift? Kind of right.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
I mean, Taylor Swift might be the kind of person
that made mobilize some twenty year olds that weren't thinking
they wanted to vote. She might mobilize them if they
weren't already there. But Chapelon's kind of the same thing,
and she refused to make an endorsement, even though she's
pretty clearly a leftist as well.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
So I don't know. Here we go. Rob sent me.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Rob sent me an article that says breaking Trump paid
Hulk Hogan for his appearance at the Republican National Convention
with three scratch offs and a meatball sub.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Aha.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
That's from the Babylon B scratch offs and a meatball sub.
Now see, that's a budget I can live with. I
would have bargained for some beef jerky. That's just me.
Oh anyway, yeah, I need yeah, and Jeffson's in, Hey,
Warren Buffett endorsement, that would be power for some people. Hey,
(22:01):
here's a gigantic gazillionaire who never talks about politics. If
he swung his endorsement to a Democratic candidate. Don't you
think that would matter to some people? It'd be surprising,
but it would matter.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I just think five million dollars for Beyonce, one million
dollars for Opera. It didn't really do what they wanted
it to do. How many people do they pay that
money to to not win? They should have paid Tony
Hinchcliffe more money to be worse at the Madison Square
Garden rally. Maybe that would have helped them more than
giving ten million dollars to one person. It's just just
(22:36):
my two cents or my ten million cents something like that.
Colleen says, how do you feel about the Elon Musk
money giveaway? That was kind of an interesting thing right
where he said, Hey, anybody that donates or registers to
vote or something will be entered to win my in Pennsylvania.
They'll be intered twin a million dollars potentially, And he'll
give away a million dollars every day for like three
(22:57):
weeks or something, and he did. It's a little like
that Doug Bergham scam, right, It's like, hey, give me
one dollar and then I'll mail you a gift card
that's worth twenty dollars.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I feel like both of those things are going to
become illegal going forward. They need to be. I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
I feel like the Elon Musk money giveaway, you're kind
of bribing people for their for their vote.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Almost.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, I don't like it. I don't like it. I
don't it's not illegal. The court ruled that it wasn't illegal,
but it's still slimy to me.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
It's two forty eight. We'll come back. We got more fun, funny,
weird stuff to talk about. Just have fun with us
on news radio eleven ten Kfab and.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Vere Songer on news radio eleven ten.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Kfab, Con O'Brien, Conan O'Brian, How about that? That's cool?
Isn't that cool? Good for him? Bring him back, you know,
bring him back. Well he is back. What are you
talking about? I mean, like, well, replace like get rid
of one of these late night boobs and bring in
(23:57):
Cone and O'Brien.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Like, I doesn't want to come back. Well, I know, oh,
I know, but why would he come on? Why would
he He doesn't, he doesn't need nothing from nobody, he doesn't.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I don't disagree one bit, and I just think that
he is one of the most underrated. He was the best.
He's always get the best. Yeah, I honestly like, I mean,
I could rant about that because I don't know if
there's another late night host who is better. And I
mean with all of them, I don't know a whole
lot about Johnny Carson because he's before my time, but
(24:28):
I'm talking him on YouTube, Jay Leno and Dave Letterman
to going forward. I don't know if there's a better
person to riff with his guests the way Conan O'Brien did.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Conan's stuff is the best. Just if you felt differently,
then go rewatch some of the old He's not even
that old. I mean, there's so many great bits. I'm
excited for him, good for him, I'm happy for him.
He's gonna be the new host. You know who hosted
the last two years? Oh?
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Is it Ricky Gervais? Nope? Was it Chris Rock.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Chris Rock last hosted in sixteen? Was that when he
slapped he wasn't hosting. He was I'm sorry, Chris. Yeah,
Will Smith slapped him, but he was just there to
do an award.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
He wasn't there to host. Oh that's right.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
He did host though in sixteen. Most recently he miss
is How Misinformation Start?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah? He also hosted in two thousand and five. So yeah,
So so the same person hosted the last two years. Yep,
here's a hint. He cried on national television. Oh, Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah, yeah, he hosts the last two years, and he
hosted also in seventeen and eighteen, So he's hosted. They
didn't have a single host in nineteen twenty or twenty
one for the for the show, and so essentially he's
hosted five of the lat or four of the last
five shows that they.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Have done an actual host for. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
If there's anything that we can get from this is
that this doesn't actually matter. I mean, did you know
that Billy Crystal has hosted nine oscars?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Nine? Yeah, all less remarkable than the last. I don't
know much about Billy Crystals, to be honest. You need
to watch some you need to watch some movies. What
is wrong with you? Ricky Gervais was great though he wasn't.
He didn't host the Oscars, but he hosted the other one,
the Golden Globe. Yeah, it's a different show. I feel
(26:17):
like this is a good year for him to come
back and just roast all those high horse celebrities. He
could make fun of them all for donating all that money.
You know, can you imagine what he'd say to George
Clooney Right now, they're keeping him away. They are keeping
there saying no Ricky Gervais. I bet, I bet they
signed a letter among those celebrities who were like, if
he even comes near the place, we're not showing up
(26:37):
for the award. Pompous celebrities with their smug looks. Let's
get it out of here. But out there, you know
what put me up there, it's all that fun. Bob Hope,
by the way, has hosted more Oscars than anyone. Nineteen nineteen,
Johnny Carson five, Billy Crystal nine, those are the top
three ever. Yeah, they used to do this thing on radio.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
They didn't even televise this thing until you know, got
to the sixties or fifties, fifties, until they got to
the fifties. But yeah, you can go back. I don't
know if there's any video of it. But Frank Capra
hosted the nineteen thirty six Oscars. Oh sure, guests who
won the Best Picture Old Philly, Funny Bone.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Mutiney on the Bounty, Mutiny on the Bounty, Mutiny on
the Bounty. Yeah yeah, Clark Gable was in now One.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
As opposed to Riot on the poop Deck. What are
we talking?
Speaker 1 (27:30):
On the Bounty is actually a great book? You ever
read Mutiny on the Bounty. I don't get out much.
I don't read much.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I don't do much.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
You know, you don't know Mutiny on the Bounty, or
refresh my memory. It's Charles Nordhoff, James Norman Hall. It's
a novel. It's it's great. They made multiple movies about it.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
I don't know. You got you gotta you gotta read
a book here lately. Gee whizz.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
All right, we need to talk about old men getting
in the mix of deciding that they're gonna start fighting
with boxing gloves on against YouTubers. We're gonna talk about that.
We all have a Friday four forty as well. We
got all sorts of different things that is on our mind,
and we're just gonna have fun because it's Friday, and
why not have some fun. So stick with us and
(28:16):
have some fun. On news radio eleven ten kfab
The growing staff of Donald Trump. Doug Bergham, Oh, Dougie,
doug Oh, Dougie, Dougie.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
He's the new Secretary of the Interior. Would you look
at that? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Surprised, No, I mean he was positioning himself to get something.
He kept showing up to that trial. It's like pick me,
pick me, isn't.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
That what do they call him these days? One of
those pick me girls?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Yeah, yeah, except he's like a bazillionaire politician type of those.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Turned his ankle play and pick up basketball in cowboy boots. Yeah,
it wasn't really that. It was more just like an
obliteration of achilles tendon. But yeah, he seems to have
recovered from that. I mean he couldn't play basketball today.
Actually yeah he could.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
It's been a year. It's been a year since that happened, right,
m h Yeah, that's usually the shelf life for that.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, So he's fine, he's fine, he
can walk, you can play basketball. Yeah, it's a Doug
Bergham Secretary of the Interior. Could pop quiz? Give me
name one Secretary of the Interior over the last twenty years.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Martha Stewart. That's not true. Well, she's an interior designer.
You know what, I always get those confused one, Okay,
Sarah Barelli.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
No, just name one ever, like like, yeah, just any
anyone that's.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Gone on to other things that I would even recognize,
you know, like what Chris Christie Maybe I don't know.
He doesn't get out much. No, No, I don't know. No. No,
let me think of random politicians and I'll keep trying. No,
how about Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
No, the only one that's even kind of like in
this the last one hundred years, make that one hundred
and ten years. The only one that's like, yeah, make
that one hundred and twenty years, The only one that
I kind of recognizes. James Garfield is the son of
the president that got killed by the insane guy at
the train station of the same name. Yeah, James Garfield.
(01:57):
He named his son James Garfield in this. James Garfield
was Secretary of the Interior for a couple of years
under Teddy Roosevelt.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Okay, so you kind of set me up to fail there. Correct.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Correct, There was a guy named Orville Browning. There was
a guy named James Harland. Do you think that's the
guy he's from Iowa. You think they named the town
of Harland after him? Is that the guy they had
to name it after somebody? Yeah, I don't know. Anyway,
Harlan was a close friend of Abraham Lincoln and was
(02:30):
Secretary of the Interior under Johnson Andrew Johnson. Yeah, there's
no obvious answers to this. So is it a super
important job? I'm sure it is. Deb Holland from New
Mexico is uh, she's been Joe Biden's.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
For pretty much the entire time. So there you go.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Anyway, Rob, says Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt from the Clinton administration.
Bruce Babbitt, Ding, ding, Ding, He's a winner, got that
one right on the head. Bruce Babbitt actually served the
entire term, the entire Like, that's rare. Wow, somebody stayed
for eight years in the same job under one president.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
You ever seen that old Looney Tunes cartoon where like
there it's a couple of couple of guys there. I
think they're rabbits, and one of them just keeps yelling, babbit, No,
they're cats. Oh they're cats. Yeah, that's it, they're cats.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, it's a it's like Abbott and Costello except their
cats and they're going after That was Tweety's first first cartoon. Oh,
it was before Sylvester came around.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I was thinking that when I hear the word babbitt,
I that's a classic Looney Tunes. Yeah it is.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I mean, it really is so good with a couple
of characters that didn't really last very long. You know,
Tweety was the one that survived there the longest. But yeah, anyway,
that's the big one. That's the big one. There's there's
some others that. You know, a lot of people are
going after Tulsa Gabbard as like why why is she
getting national intelligence? And I saw AOC jumped on MSNBC
(04:02):
to talk about this and said that that is she's
more like she's more concerned about Tulsa Gabbard getting appointed
is devastating and it's way worse than even Matt Gates
getting appointed.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
And I just.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I don't know, this is you know what I you
know what I think and quote you can quote me
on this. They're just trying to set themselves up the
best that they can to talk about how bad things
are going for Trump and the Republicans, because that's that's
how politics work.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
They can't just start talking.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
They're not gonna sit here and wait to see what
happens and then start to try to tear it apart.
They're gonna start They're gonna use their political little brains
now to demean what the Trump administration is doing from
the time he was elected to the time he is
out of office, because that's what makes them more attractive, right.
(04:51):
I mean, you have to be constantly just going after
and after and after them, right, That's just how it works.
You can't just be telling people, oh, yeah, things are
great until they don't go great, and the same thing
can be happened on the other side. Whatever the Democratic
A Team would have looked like, for you know, a
Democratic presidential candidate like let's se Kamala Harris gets elected,
(05:11):
and she puts together the Democrat A Team an AO
season one spot, and she pulls in a Keem Jeffries
into another spot, which would be a bad idea because
he's the Leader of the House for their party, but
you know, still, and then she grabs you know, Bernie
Sanders for another thing, and they bring back and Michelle
Obama wants to get in the mix, and she appoints
her something or whatever. Like, imagine that a team. No
(05:34):
matter what, Republicans are going to say, this is bad.
These are bad people. They're not gonna do good their
jobs very well. This is just part of the gig,
you know what I'm saying. I have an open mind
about this stuff. Yeah, you can tell me that certain
people like Tulci Gabbert or Pete Haigsith or you know where,
Christy Nome or any of these other people. Oh yeah,
they may not have like specific experience, they're going to
(05:55):
stink at their jobs. Okay, fine, but you can't tell
me you know that for a fact. You're just saying
that because you don't like them and you want it
to sound stupid. That's what happens to me too. The
Green Bay Packers could sign the ghost of Johnny Unitis
to be their next quarterback, and I'm going to say, oh,
that's stupid, that's dumb.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Johnny unit It's a great quarterback of all time. But
I'm not going to give the Packers any credit. I'm
going to try to demean them at every turn. That's
just who I am as a Bears fan. It works
like that in politics too. Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and
Teddy Roosevelt could all be in this cabinet and the
Democrats would just be, you know, shooting it all to heck.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
You can only determine that by hindsight.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Damn it.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
How But that's the thing though, these Yeah, they're guessing
that this is going to be bad.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
They don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
They're just saying it because it's beneficial for the Democrats
to talk smack about what the Republicans are doing.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Right, but also from their vantage point, these politicians want
to do things that they don't think are good for
this country. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
At the same time, how do they know they lost?
They took the l American people felt differently, Monny, you
suck it up for a little bit. I get it
this part of the game. But you just sound like
so losers. Right now, Let's let them do some work
and see if it does. Indeed suck. They suck, That's
what I think. This whole thing sucks. Them going on
television and talking smack about people they don't even know
(07:11):
how good they're going to be at their job.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Smack talk them stupid.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Anyway, to eighteen, we got to talk about old men
getting in fist fights with boxing gloves on. We got
to talk about things that come in forest and I
want to talk about, just briefly, Scottish fireworks and why
I hate them next on news Radio eleven ten KFAB and.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Marie Songer on News Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Can you be a notary, like a verbal notary that
I am sitting here and I have said, with the
disclaimer at the top of this argument, that I am
not in favor of taking away anyone's right to anything.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I can notarize that you've said that. I have said that.
Now you've said that. Okay, I notarized that you've said it.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Now it may sound differently now that I'm going to
talk about what I want to talk about. First of all,
do you don't want to say that we're the name
of the big town in Scotland starts.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
With e uh like Edinburgh.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Nice. Yeah, you're close. It's spelled like Edinburgh Edinburgh, but
it's Edinburgh Edinburgh, Yeah, Edinburgh Edinburgh or Edinburgh if you
want to, like, just smash those last two syllables together Edinburgh.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I had a Scottish I lived with a Scottish guy
in college. For a couple of years. Yeah, yeah, he
was touchy about stuff like that. Did he break out
the kilt? No, no, but he said he wore a
kilt the prom. So they didn't bring one state side.
Now why not? Because he was like, what would he
have worn it? You think he's gonna get girls in
a kilt? Yes, he got girls. He would get more
(08:41):
in a kilt. I don't think he would out there
in bagpipes and a kilt. He doesn't know how to
play the bagpipes. That is not something they just know
how to do over.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
There doesn't even have to play it, he just can
hold them.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, there was expensive and there's not very many of
them that are available to a twenty year old college kid.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Shut up, I'm trying to work on something here. I'm sorry.
Go ahead anyway. Edinburgh has a zoo.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
It's called the Edinburgh Zoo, and I just hate this story,
but I have to talk about it because this is
what we do here, right Like I have a forum
to talk about the stuff that bothers me. This is
something that bothers me. Zoo keepers at the Edinburgh Zoo
have blamed fireworks for the death of a baby red
panda Roxy is a baby red panda roughly three months old.
(09:23):
And have you seen the red panda. There's a red
panda or red pandas over at Henry Doorley Zoo.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
That's what they tell me. But every single time I've
been there, I never get a glimpse.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
But I have They can be in the trees and
they have access to indoors all the time.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, they're den which is good.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Yeah, most zoo animals have the ability to go inside
or outside to their liking most of the time. What
they said this is Deputy Chief Executive of the Royal
Zoological Society of Scotland, Ben Supple says Roxy had access
to her den, but the frightening noises seem to have
been too much for her. Very sadly she choked on
(10:00):
her own vomit on Bonfire night and our vets believe
this was probably a reaction to fireworks. Yeah, and they
have a bonfire night, So basically what that is. In
sixteen oh five, it's Guy Fox Day.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Have you have you? Have you heard of Guy Fox?
I have?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
And the weird face thing and all that stuff. Yeah, yeah,
yea yeah yeah yeah. Sixteen oh five was a failed
plot in sixteen oh five to blow up British Parliament
and they commemorate that in early November. According to the
zoo keepers, they say that, okay, so her mom was
a little older and she actually passed away earlier this summer,
(10:37):
just like a few weeks before, and they said she
was actually responding pretty well. They were unsure because that's
a bad time to lose your mom, right, even in captivity,
when there are people that can step in and kind
of help feed her and get her up to health.
Many people said that, you know, that's a tough time,
right for a three month old who still would be
(10:58):
with mom to still be like without mom and try
to figure this out.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Well, she they said that she was losing weight and
she was responding better to eating and stuff, but then
she choked on her you know, the John bottom. She
did the John bottom and passed away. Now I can't
say under any circumstance that this is entirely related to
the fireworks, because I looked up the map, because this
(11:26):
is what a good person who knows cares about this
stuff does. You know where Edinburgh Zoo is right smack
dab in the middle of Edinburgh. Okay, where is the
Henry Doorley Zoo in relation to Omaha.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
South like on the edge right downtown.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, and like Blank Park Zoo, which is the Moine Zoo,
also on the south side of town. It is not
right dead center, right in the middle of everything. Not
a great spot to be if everybody in town is
going to be firing off a bunch of fireworks.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Am I right? I could see that.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
The vets believe if it was a reaction to fireworks
that she got so scared. As three months old, we
know animals have adverse reaction to fireworks, but now there's
a huge push. They have gotten tens of thousands of
signatures in the last two days since this news came
out this week, tens of thousands of signatures of people
trying to ban or regulate or force people to have
licenses to get fireworks in Edinburgh. What do you think
(12:22):
a license to buy fireworks? Could that be applicable to
a place like here?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
A license?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, like you have to apply to then have the
ability to walk into a fireworks store and then buy
the fireworks. Now again economically, that's the first thing that
popped up here when I was like getting the reaction.
There are people within the government that say, look, this
is a tragedy and we don't want to lose an
animal at the zoo, especially one like the red panda,
which is critically endangered in the wild. Even if they
(12:49):
do very well in zoos, they are critically endangered in
the wild.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Okay, And you.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Want to know, you want to know something here. They
can say it's sad, but I understand they have to govern.
And they said, you don't understand there is an economic
impact if we just decide, hey, it's going to be
impossible to sell fireworks anymore. And I don't want to
suggest that because remember remember what I said at the
beginning of this segment. I don't want to suggest any
of that. I don't want to take that away from people.
(13:14):
I'm just saying, how enjoyable are blowing up that those
fireworks compared to like the danger we talk about this
near independence say, and I just still don't get it,
not just the danger of like hurting yourself. You hear
people all the time accidentally blowing off a finger or
hurting themselves because they were trying to light it blow
up a firework and they mismanaged their time somehow, or
(13:39):
it shot the wrong direction. You've heard of those stories.
I have, everybody has. Yeah, of course, it's not an
uncommon thing to have happened to people, because people who
are not professionals mess around with this stuff all the time.
My dogs have had some serious issues with them the
last couple of years, which is different than in previous years.
I don't know what happened to them, but now like
(14:00):
they're six year old dogs and they still were, you know,
really messed up by the fireworks. I have to calm
them down and try to you know, like, I'm not
the only person that has that issue. I understand that.
And here we have actual, somewhat evidence. I don't know,
like I said, I don't know if it's one hundred
percent to blame. I don't think we have that kind
of information. But the people in the zoo, based on
(14:23):
the timing of all this and how this happened, they
say that the fireworks probably were to blame for her reaction,
and she, unfortunately with no person inside her den with her,
was unable to survive, choking on her own regurgitation, if
you will. It's an incredibly sad story. The reason I
share it is because maybe we can just I think
(14:44):
it's important to think about other things when we do
and make decisions for ourselves. And this isn't me telling
you not to fire off fireworks, and this isn't me
telling you that it should be illegal to own or.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Fire off fireworks. I'm just saying that.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
But there are a lot of people and things in
life adversely affected by pyrotechnics, and that.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Goes beyond just you.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
And there are some people that do enjoy them, and
I'm not trying to discount that either, but it just
seems to me like there's a lot more potential negatives
than there are potential positives, especially with the advent of
you know, safe drone shows and things of that nature
that I was able to see a couple of this year,
and those are really impressive. Just throwing that out there.
(15:32):
But may that poor young red fox or red panda,
sorry red panda Roxy, may she rest in peace in
zoo heaven. It's two twenty nine, all right, let's get goofy.
When we come back. We got plenty of things to
talk about, including an old man trying to take on
a kid with a beard. Next on News Radio eleven
ten kfab.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Emery Sunger on News radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
How much is that worth to you? Well, if I
have Okay, I'm gonna cheat because if I have all
the money in the world that Mike am, I'll say
you have one billion dollars? Well, I mean I'd kind
of be like I would, I would test the waters.
What's what's your rate?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Like?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
If I knew that this was really gonna help my campaign?
Would it me personally? I don't know. I don't know
what am I running for president? I could see that helping. Yeah,
you know why because I don't think Oprah would normally
endorse me, right, because I mean you'd have to pay
her for the endorsement. But you think her endorsement would
matter for you? I think it would help. It might
help me bridge the gap with some voters and get
(16:30):
me to where I need to be, and I'd be
a great president. Is that weird?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Is that weird that you you would need to pay
somebody just to support you anyway that normally wouldn't support you.
Maybe isn't that kind of against like the whole idea
of an endorsement? Cardi b says she wasn't paid for
her appearance. By the way, what have you heard some
of the There was a very prominent YouTuber who got
a letter from the Harris campaign that was like, hey,
here's much here's how much we'll pay you to indorse me.
(16:55):
And he talked about that on streaming on his you know,
on his show that he had on YouTube, which yeah,
I mean if he was a fan, and he was,
you know, he's already a fan paired to be a supporter,
then cool, Yeah, pay me and I'll show up. Well,
but I'll stick my neck out for it. Yeah, okay,
I can see that. But just paying somebody to support you,
(17:17):
we it feels weird. Cardi b says she wasn't paid
and good because she didn't earn nothing. Uh, she she
did more damage than she did good for that campus,
who Cogan paid?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I don't think so, I I it's hard. I don't.
I don't know. That's a good question. I don't. Is
the my pillow guy paid? People pay him for his pillows.
They pay him for his pillows. But I don't.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I don't think the campaign itself paid him. It wouldn't
that be a guy you would just bring it along
for the ride. I think he's along for the ride. Yeah,
just like hey, come with us. You know.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I think he finds out their road in advance and
just shows up. That's why I came.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I might where we need somebody to be the pillow
guy in the in the White House who wants pillows.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
No, oh brah, one million dollars one million, one million
for a five minute speech at a town hall in Philadelphia?
Are we okay with that? Are we okay with just
giving millions of dollars to people to do this? Isn't
that kind of against what the whole politics thing was?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
If somebody's already an avid supporter, I can see paying
them to appear or to give a speech, because that's
not nothing like you have to prepare for that, you know,
Like I I if I go in speak in the classroom,
that's one thing, you know. I've done that before. I'm
not gonna ask somebody to pay me for that. I
do that because I want to help the next generation.
But if somebody's trying to actually gain something by me
(18:36):
being there with my presence, like hey, we need somebody
to en see this awards show or something, and I've
been asked to do that too, guess what they've paid me.
You know why, because like that takes effort, It takes time.
You can't be doing stuff for free in this world
at the same time paying somebody strictly so they would
support you. That seems weird to me. It seems weird.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Well, you're paying for the speech though, right may maybe,
but we're also talking like that person specifically that you
were talking about, got a letter that said, here's the
price that we can offer you if you endorse Kamala.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Harris, And I think it came with a script too,
that tells me, right like you're buying endorsements. That just
sounds it feels nasty to me.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
It's certainly it's the opposite of grassroots, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Exactly the old, the old nineteen eighty style too, or
it's not a lot of given that it's like concrete.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Yeah, like the Brady Bunch Astro turf. Oh, you're all
on that. You're going to skin your elbow worse than
you ever imagine. Yeah. I saw somewhere Beyonce's number is fluctuating.
I saw five million.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Jeff just sent me an email and said it was
ten million for Beyonce. I don't know what the number was,
but she was on stage for roughly four and a
half minutes. What are we doing here? Five million dollars
maybe ten million dollars for somebody to give you a
speech to endorse you for what? Aren't the most power
full endorsements the ones of people that you're not like
(20:04):
sure about. I'm not so sure about what you know
a certain person thinks, right, like who's Who's a person
that you genuinely would be surprised if they supported a
political candidate all the ones you just meant it mentioned
but for the other side. Yeah, but yeah, exactly, That's
what I'm saying, right. Would it have been an incredibly
powerful endorsement to get somebody who was center right that
(20:26):
was somewhat notable, like somebody who's never Trump, I mean
like McCain, sure, and Cheney, Like Liz Cheney was like
kind of but you're talking more in the entertainment. I'm
talking like somebody that you know is generally like liked
because of work they do outside of politics, and then
they kind of surprise you, like, hey, I'm actually more
(20:48):
of a Republican, but I'm supporting Kamala. That would have
been like a really big deal, way bigger of a
deal than any of these people were talking about. We
talked about Beyonce and Cardi B and Megan the Stallion
and Lady Gaga and all this stuff, Like none of
those were surprising that they were aligned with her, So
who did they really like?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Get same thing with Taylor Swift? Kind of right.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
I mean, Taylor Swift might be the kind of person
that made mobilize some twenty year olds that weren't thinking
they wanted to vote. She might mobilize them if they
weren't already there. But Chapelon's kind of the same thing,
and she refused to make an endorsement, even though she's
pretty clearly a leftist as well.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
So I don't know. Here we go. Rob sent me.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Rob sent me an article that says breaking Trump paid
Hulk Hogan for his appearance at the Republican National Convention
with three scratch offs and a meatball sub.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Aha.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
That's from the Babylon B scratch offs and a meatball sub.
Now see, that's a budget I can live with. I
would have bargained for some beef jerky. That's just me.
Oh anyway, yeah, I need yeah, and Jeffson's in, Hey,
Warren Buffett endorsement, that would be power for some people. Hey,
(22:01):
here's a gigantic gazillionaire who never talks about politics. If
he swung his endorsement to a Democratic candidate. Don't you
think that would matter to some people? It'd be surprising,
but it would matter.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I just think five million dollars for Beyonce, one million
dollars for Opera. It didn't really do what they wanted
it to do. How many people do they pay that
money to to not win? They should have paid Tony
Hinchcliffe more money to be worse at the Madison Square
Garden rally. Maybe that would have helped them more than
giving ten million dollars to one person. It's just just
(22:36):
my two cents or my ten million cents something like that.
Colleen says, how do you feel about the Elon Musk
money giveaway? That was kind of an interesting thing right
where he said, Hey, anybody that donates or registers to
vote or something will be entered to win my in Pennsylvania.
They'll be intered twin a million dollars potentially, And he'll
give away a million dollars every day for like three
(22:57):
weeks or something, and he did. It's a little like
that Doug Bergham scam, right, It's like, hey, give me
one dollar and then I'll mail you a gift card
that's worth twenty dollars.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I feel like both of those things are going to
become illegal going forward. They need to be. I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
I feel like the Elon Musk money giveaway, you're kind
of bribing people for their for their vote.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Almost.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, I don't like it. I don't like it. I
don't it's not illegal. The court ruled that it wasn't illegal,
but it's still slimy to me.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
It's two forty eight. We'll come back. We got more fun, funny,
weird stuff to talk about. Just have fun with us
on news radio eleven ten Kfab and.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Vere Songer on news radio eleven ten.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Kfab, Con O'Brien, Conan O'Brian, How about that? That's cool?
Isn't that cool? Good for him? Bring him back, you know,
bring him back. Well he is back. What are you
talking about? I mean, like, well, replace like get rid
of one of these late night boobs and bring in
(23:57):
Cone and O'Brien.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Like, I doesn't want to come back. Well, I know, oh,
I know, but why would he come on? Why would
he He doesn't, he doesn't need nothing from nobody, he doesn't.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I don't disagree one bit, and I just think that
he is one of the most underrated. He was the best.
He's always get the best. Yeah, I honestly like, I mean,
I could rant about that because I don't know if
there's another late night host who is better. And I
mean with all of them, I don't know a whole
lot about Johnny Carson because he's before my time, but
(24:28):
I'm talking him on YouTube, Jay Leno and Dave Letterman
to going forward. I don't know if there's a better
person to riff with his guests the way Conan O'Brien did.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Conan's stuff is the best. Just if you felt differently,
then go rewatch some of the old He's not even
that old. I mean, there's so many great bits. I'm
excited for him, good for him, I'm happy for him.
He's gonna be the new host. You know who hosted
the last two years? Oh?
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Is it Ricky Gervais? Nope? Was it Chris Rock.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Chris Rock last hosted in sixteen? Was that when he
slapped he wasn't hosting. He was I'm sorry, Chris. Yeah,
Will Smith slapped him, but he was just there to
do an award.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
He wasn't there to host. Oh that's right.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
He did host though in sixteen. Most recently he miss
is How Misinformation Start?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah? He also hosted in two thousand and five. So yeah,
So so the same person hosted the last two years. Yep,
here's a hint. He cried on national television. Oh, Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah, yeah, he hosts the last two years, and he
hosted also in seventeen and eighteen, So he's hosted. They
didn't have a single host in nineteen twenty or twenty
one for the for the show, and so essentially he's
hosted five of the lat or four of the last
five shows that they.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Have done an actual host for. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
If there's anything that we can get from this is
that this doesn't actually matter. I mean, did you know
that Billy Crystal has hosted nine oscars?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Nine? Yeah, all less remarkable than the last. I don't
know much about Billy Crystals, to be honest. You need
to watch some you need to watch some movies. What
is wrong with you? Ricky Gervais was great though he wasn't.
He didn't host the Oscars, but he hosted the other one,
the Golden Globe. Yeah, it's a different show. I feel
(26:17):
like this is a good year for him to come
back and just roast all those high horse celebrities. He
could make fun of them all for donating all that money.
You know, can you imagine what he'd say to George
Clooney Right now, they're keeping him away. They are keeping
there saying no Ricky Gervais. I bet, I bet they
signed a letter among those celebrities who were like, if
he even comes near the place, we're not showing up
(26:37):
for the award. Pompous celebrities with their smug looks. Let's
get it out of here. But out there, you know
what put me up there, it's all that fun. Bob Hope,
by the way, has hosted more Oscars than anyone. Nineteen nineteen,
Johnny Carson five, Billy Crystal nine, those are the top
three ever. Yeah, they used to do this thing on radio.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
They didn't even televise this thing until you know, got
to the sixties or fifties, fifties, until they got to
the fifties. But yeah, you can go back. I don't
know if there's any video of it. But Frank Capra
hosted the nineteen thirty six Oscars. Oh sure, guests who
won the Best Picture Old Philly, Funny Bone.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Mutiney on the Bounty, Mutiny on the Bounty, Mutiny on
the Bounty. Yeah yeah, Clark Gable was in now One.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
As opposed to Riot on the poop Deck. What are
we talking?
Speaker 1 (27:30):
On the Bounty is actually a great book? You ever
read Mutiny on the Bounty. I don't get out much.
I don't read much.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I don't do much.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
You know, you don't know Mutiny on the Bounty, or
refresh my memory. It's Charles Nordhoff, James Norman Hall. It's
a novel. It's it's great. They made multiple movies about it.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
I don't know. You got you gotta you gotta read
a book here lately. Gee whizz.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
All right, we need to talk about old men getting
in the mix of deciding that they're gonna start fighting
with boxing gloves on against YouTubers. We're gonna talk about that.
We all have a Friday four forty as well. We
got all sorts of different things that is on our mind,
and we're just gonna have fun because it's Friday, and
why not have some fun. So stick with us and
