Speaker 1 (00:00):
Trying to come up with solutions that are actually good
for college football and not exclusive for you know, the
big boys.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
And so the big boys all get to play. Lots
of college football fans laying on the couch these days,
you know, talking it out, trying to talk to their
feelings of that experience over the last weekend. A lot
of stress balls going around right now.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
And I'm here to say, making the club more exclusive
isn't good. FCS figured out a twenty four team playoff,
made it very exciting. All of the conference champions got
a chance to be a part of it. So this year,
let's just say we did that all the conference champions.
But we don't seed. No, you don't get automatic buys
if you're a conference champion or anything like that. We
just seed based on what the rankings look like. But
(00:41):
every conference champion gets into the twenty four team field.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
And then here here's another thing to help the teams
that got the buys, the top eight, we will reseed
after the first round. It will become a real bracket
after the first round. So the first round, the nine
seed in this case would be Boise State would play
twenty four seed Jacksonville's eight. Okay, okay, And the idea
is like, whoever wins that just gets to go to
the next round. And then after we get all the winners,
(01:07):
then we reseed and the number one seed, Oregon would
play the worst remaining seed.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Does that make sense? Yeah? Okay?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
So other games notable Ohio against SMU the MAC champion,
Ohio Bobcats, Army against Arizona State in a clash of styles.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
How about Missouri against Ole miss Iowad State would play
South Carolina in a twenty fourteen playoff. I would stay
South Carolina's that's the tad juicy there, b Y, you
would play Clipson, Miami would take on Illinois. Marshall would
play Alabama.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
M that one. That one doesn't stand out. But those
are those are the first round matchups. Who's not watching this?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
You're telling me of those eight games, we're not gonna
get at least one or two that are awesome.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
You know what? Yeah, I I am I follow following Armies,
you know what?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
And okay, and then we reced and then Oregon plays
the worst team left and Georgia, Texas, Penn State, Notre Dame,
Ohio State, Tennessee and Indiana. We just like run through
that and then we play another round.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
The fact that Army gets in there, you know what,
I'm eating my words a little bit because I would
love to see Army in there. I would love to
see Army get a shot today.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
The reason they're in for those who don't know, they
won the American Athletic Conference this year.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, and you know what, I'd give them a scrappers
chance against Arizona State. They're tough, they're tough to game
plan for now. Notre Dame made mincemeat out of them,
but that doesn't mean in Arizona State is going to
roll over them. Arizona States never played a team like that.
They've been playing big twelve teams. They haven't seen the
the power and the power tea out there. Yeah, the Wishbone.
(02:40):
Yeah yeah. So who says no? This would be This
would be a lot of fun. And there's definitely a
couple of games that could provide some interesting upsets possibly
as well. But I mean, we have Power Conference matchups Illinois, Miami,
Missouri and Old miss Iowa, Stay in South Carolina, BUYU
and Clemson. Those are all Power Conference matchups in the
(03:02):
first round and then you're basically gonna get a ton
more of that kind of like matchup, but you let
the underdog, like an SMU or even an army or
in Iowa State, have a chance to decide that on
the field. What are we doing here? How is that?
How are we not doing that already?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
We have to keep the sanctity of the ballgames. My bad, Sorry,
I forgot bike. Those TV networks happy got it right.
It's never about playing the games or winning the games.
It's just where the money's coming from.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
But don't you miss Ron Daane playing against Stanford in
the Rose Bowl?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Sorry, I don't, because the Rose Bowl most years, what
did it mean? Oh, we won the Rose Bowl. Yeah,
that's what it meant. But that wasn't There wasn't any
bigger meaning to that. I remember when that was enough. Yeah,
well it's not now, because we want to crown a
national champion the right way. Everybody else, every other sport
in America, every other level of football, including FCS Division two,
(03:57):
Division three, naia' you co high schools around the country,
they all have a playoff system figured out to crown
a champion.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
The one level that has had the worst.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Time figuring this out is the big time FBS college football,
and now it's just like everybody else, and people are
still complaining. Now it's not just like everybody else. The
twelve team playoff is too new, and none of these
people that actually are educated about anything, they don't know
what it's like to actually crown a national champion. They
just think, well, your name is Ohio State or Alabama,
(04:29):
you deserve to have a shot at winning the thing.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
And that is bull hockey to me. You know what
it reminds me of. I remember when Nebraska won the
national championship back in ninety four. Penn State was pretty
frustrated because I believe they either finished with one loss
or were undefeated that year, and they felt like, you
know what, if we had a shot, We just wish
we had our shot. Yeah, and I'm here to provide
literally everyone with an earshot a shot. I'm just saying
(04:53):
Alabama right now is saying I wish I had a
shot at SMU. Yeah they lost three games. Well I
bet you they wouldn't have lost to SMU my opinion,
But I think I'm r fine win the game. Okay,
you know, I'm giving you an option here, I like
twenty four better than twelve. I'll put it that way.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Twenty four team playoff. Everybody has a seat at the table.
We don't have to argue about this. Who were the
first teams we left out? Syracuse and UNLV. That's right,
So those are the teams. Okay, So like, okay, come on, now,
what are we talking about here? If you're really one
of the major players and you're ranked in the top fifteen,
you're making this bracket.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Syracuse, Colorado and UNLV were left out. Those were the
three that I had to make a room for for
the major room four yeah, for the lower level conference champions. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
And then in the future there would be another team
we'd probably have to leave out with the new PAC
twelve unless they were ranked.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Can you imagine, okay, let's just pretend in a false
world where this's actually happened, Oregon State or Washington State
would have gotten in because they won the one game. Well,
I'm not thinking about that. I'm more thinking about can
you imagine Dion Sanders and how big of a stink
he would have made if his Colorado Buffaloes got left
out of the twenty four If that's what happened or
that close. Yeah, oh, that would have just lapped that
(06:01):
up like the most delicious soup in the world.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
This is what college football is now. We're trying to
fix it. We're trying to fix it. They're not gonna
fix it. You know what they're gonna do. We're sitting
here watching the Idaho Potato Bowl, which is fine, congratulations.
You know what we're gonna do. We're gonna sit here
and have twelve teams next year, and I'm guessing that
the little guy is going to be left on the
outside looking in more often than not. Now, they're probably
(06:26):
gonna expand a fourteen or sixteen. But the conversation is
going to stay the same is are we sure we
want to allow all the conference champs in? Are we
sure we want to allow them to have the buys?
Are we sure we want to allow teams like Indiana
who have no ranked wins to be in this thing?
Oh but Texas, that's okay, that's different. If you're not
ranked in the top ten preseason, it's an uphill battle. Sparky,
better win every single one of your games. That's the
(06:48):
end of the that's the discussion. It's stupid stupid anyway,
and the games weren't even enjoyable to watch it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
The atmospheres were fine, but the games were boring in blowouts.
Couple of things that we needed to get to in
the news. I don't want to spend too much time,
you know, boring people on the news. And it's not
like the news is always boring, it's just it's Christmas,
Christmas on our mind. I'm wearing my squirrel Christmas sweater.
(07:15):
Say that again for the people.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
I'm wearing my squirtle Christmas sweater. Yeah, okay, what I
don't know. I just think there's like I would say
that ninety seven percent of the people listening don't know
what that means. Okay, tell them what it means. I
don't want to. I wanted to remain a mystery. No,
I want Ethel out there to never know what squirrel is.
Tell them what squirrel is. Ethyl ask your grandson on
(07:36):
Christmas about squirrel? Yeah, the radio told me to ask
you about squirtle.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Could you imagine being like a ten year old kid
and Grandma Ethel pulls that out while you're opening.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Presents, son, What is a squirrele? Very cute?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Turtle looking thing who is a Pokemon and he can
squirt water. He has different water attacks. Is that with
that when he battles and he wears a shell because
he's a turtle, he's bipedal. He oh, he's bipedal. Now
he can walk on two legs most of the time.
And in the first episode he wears sunglasses. Squirt all
(08:17):
squirt and what pokemon say the words that are their name,
so like Charmanders speaks words.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
He says, Charmander.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I'm just gonna go ahead and take a break. It's
three sixteen.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I'll get to the news that the real hard hitting
stuff coming up next on news radio eleven ten Kfab and.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Marie Sungner on News Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
This is important stuff that needs to be talked about.
We talked about last hour, Joe Biden commuting the sentences
of thirty seven of the forty people that are in
a federal death row. But one thing that we were
definitely paying very close attention to is Matt Gates and
the House at this committee report, which we knew was coming,
(09:04):
was that last week that they told us that this
was going to be coming. Something like that, I feel
like they've been talking about this for a while.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
He had a statement last week though, in preparation essentially
for this if it were to come out.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
And you know, when you make a preemptive statement stating
a list of allegations you didn't do, and the.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Fact that you're upset that you don't get a chance
to properly debate them. Now, I'm just saying, that's a
certain kind of look, you know, well, and the fact
that and this is the other thing. And I'm not
trying to say, you know, we are a country of
innocent until proven guilty kind of thing. But for him
to be nominated as Attorney General, immediately resigned from his
post as the representative from Florida and basically just kind
(09:45):
of be out there with this looming. They had to
make a special vote to still release this. They're like,
you're not getting away from us, Matt. We got to
let people know. And it is by partisan. There are
Republicans that are on that committee as well, but again,
he didn't have a lot of friends that were Republicans either.
If you think about it, I mean, he was constantly
rocking the boat and flipping carts and trying to, you know,
(10:07):
do some different things in there, and it really rubbed
a lot of people the wrong way, which probably went
against him in this And it was an eleven page ledger.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Are you ready to hear what was in here? Think
about it? Okay? All right, here we go.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
The report says, and I quote, from twenty seventeen to
twenty twenty, Representative Gates made tens of thousands of dollars
in payments to women that the committee determined were likely
in connection with sexual activity and or drug use.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
That's not good.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
The Ethics panel also mentions Representative Gates appears to have
initially set up this pseudonymous Is that how you say that? Pseudonomus?
Like a pseudonym? Right, I've never heard that before. Pseudonymous? Yeah,
so a pseudonym you've heard of.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Sounds like it sounds like a wrestler whose first name
is sueus up the turd buckle.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
This pseudonym is like you're going under a different name,
Like you do you go under a pseudonym on the radio?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Oh right, yeah, I don't. You're not supposed to say that.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
My bad, I didn't tell I didn't say what your
real name is, though, better not, but when you like
this is the anonymous versus anonymity things.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Sudonamus sounds like a wrestler that Andy Coffin wrestled back
in the seventies for those who.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Know, no pseudonamous Oh gosh, what a word to pull there.
Representative Gates appears to have initially set up the pseudonymous
email account in order to make payments relating to cannabis
products and then also used it to make payments to women.
The ledger released by the committee shows a range of
descriptions that were used when sending the payments, including groceries,
(11:47):
dry clean, dinner reimbursement, as well as relaxation and for
being my friend. Is also accused in this situation in
twenty seventeen of having relations with in seventeen year old woman.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
What's Randy Newman got to do with any of this? Oh?
Thank you for being and that's a different got a
friend in me? Yeah? No, have you ever seen Will
Sasso's Randy Newman? By the way, No, oh, that's good.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
See I've seen his ventura though it's Jesse Ventura, which
is good.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Oh Will sass.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yeah, he's pretty good at that, Okay, And then they
released some text messages as part of this. A message
in twenty eighteen Gates repeatedly asked an unnamed woman for cartridges, vitamins,
and a full complement of party favors. One September twenty eighteen,
exchange shows Gates messaging, I need cartridges cartridges?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
What to talk at ink? This guy running out of
ink the commodity owner.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
The committee report references them and says they were referring
to marijuana cartridges for vaping.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Just a few days later, the former congressman agreed to
pay fifteen hundred dollars intuition for the same woman to
enroll in an online class. The woman wrote to him
via text, Hey, Matt, would I be able to ask
you guys a huge favor. I'm also back home and
have refills for you. The panel was not able to
determine how and win Representative Gates paid for party favors,
(13:08):
which were explained as ecstasy and cocaine.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Wow now.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Also in the House Ethics Report, there were text messages
that women had complained that Gates had not paid what
he had agreed to pay. A woman asked Gates in
a text and she was saved as Marissa. Marissa Marisa said,
so I'm not to be taken care of for last week,
(13:35):
and then Gates said, I gave you two fifty today
and I don't know. Now you're getting stuck in like
what a weird paper trail, Like nobody's gonna find these
even if you delete these from your phone. I mean
they exist in the ether that the phone companies can
go back and find this stuff. They're just not gone forever,
asked Tom Brady. He tried to smash his phone completely
(13:57):
open so people didn't think he was doing anything wrong
when he deflated those footballs.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Mister deflate gate tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Anyway, that'll fall report. I'm not going to read all
eleven pages. But yeah, yeah, it's not a great look.
None of this is a great look for old Matt.
And uh, I guess what is this going to look
like for him if he doesn't have the ability to
kind of properly defend these and try like they tried
a lawsuit at the end here to try to prevent
(14:26):
it from being released.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
That didn't work out. They released it.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Anyway, It's not not a great look for Matt Gates,
and I don't like I'm certain he's not going to
be well we figured he wasn't, but he's not going
to be a senator. Now, does he go into television?
What network would just be like, Okay, it's okay, Matt,
like we're gonna forget about all this other stuff. Does
he take hag Seth's spot if haig Seth gets confirmed?
Does he take Hexith spot on Fox News? It's tough,
(14:52):
that would be it. That'd be a tough thing to
explain if you're if you're Fox News, I'm not sure
that's the kind of guy that you're.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah, I think he he's coming to a podcast near you.
I don't think. I don't think a network. No, you
imagine that. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
There's too much crazy stuff going on out there right now. Okay,
let's go to Georgie on the phone line of four
h two five to five, eight eleven ten. George, welcome
to the show today. What's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Hey? Brother? What's up? Hello? Here's the problem I'm having
with this releaseing gates of stuff after he's gone. Yeah,
they don't do that on a regular basis.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
They almost never do that.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Things these things are classified. But here's my major problem.
We have seventeen million dollars paid in the last ten
years for sexual harassment lawsuits from congressman and senators. Most
of them were settled, according to the News, between fifty
and sixty five thousand dollars of settlement. That means we
(15:47):
have hundreds of congressmens and senators with sexual harassment claims
that were paid off by the taxpayers with no names attached.
If you're going to release this guy, let's see the
rest of this garbage you people got going on.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Yeah, it's a good point there, Georgia and I try
to figure out on a variety of levels here, You know,
what was Gates like, I know that he didn't make
a lot of friends in the Republican Party, and I
know that the Democrats obviously hate him.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
What were they were?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
This release is certainly trying to block him from doing
something in the future. And I wonder, and he resigned.
If he didn't resign, he would have still been serving there,
even if he would have lost reelection, he'd still be
in the chamber. So I'm guessing they were just like, look,
this is a strange circumstance. Him resigning changed up this timeline,
but we're still going to vote to release this. There
(16:34):
had to be some reason that they want to try
to smear him to the point where he can't come back.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Yeah, they don't like him because he's a jack ball.
But the point being, if I'm Gates, I'm goffing everybody's
name that I know. Hey, Senator so and so, did
this cost it eighty four thousand bucks? Congressman, So I'm
telling on everybody. I'll be on CNN every night for
a month's feeling.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Hey, well see if he does that. He's the kind
of guy that probably would. I'll be honest with you
what I mean.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
He's a vindictive, little little cross eyed hobo. But Ahi, Bud,
you have a good day.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Merry Christmas, George Christmas.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Well, so George doesn't like Matt Gates, but he for
the sake of fairness, we need to hear some other names,
because it's certainly not just a Matt Gage problem.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
A vindictive, cross eyed little hobo.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Oh what was that jack ball? I like that one. Dude.
Joe's on the phone line. Well, get Joe real quick, Hey, Joe,
it's up.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Hey, every I heard you guys are talking about a
squirre tol. But I have not a clue what that is?
What is that?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Uh, it's a turtle.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
It's a turtle guy from Pokemon and he uh he
does he does stuff with water. He can squirt water
at people and in battles and stuff.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
So it's not a female thing.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
No, no, no, now now now, j I appreciate this.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Joe, Joe, have a happy Christmas.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Joe.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Oh that's funny. No it's not. It's it's a very innocent,
very innocent thing. Squirrel.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
You can search search him on you search him on
the Google and you'll find out what squirrel is. And
I like him and he's on my Christmas sweater. Three
twenty nine, News Radio eleven Think Kfa.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
B Emery's songer Share It with Someone you Love on
News Radio eleven ten Kfab.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I like the idea of uh, you know, festivities is
you know, like the the pop Tarts Bowl. I always
say it will be playing in They're gonna be uh
pop tarts everywhere, including live pop tarts, and they're gonna
be a fan vote as to like which pop tart
is gonna cook be cooked alive essentially for people to eat. Afterwards,
the winning team gets to eat the pop tart whoa.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, so what is it like? Is it like, uh,
look like them show style look at to know these
pop darts. Yeah, they're gonna be doing stuff throughout. Yeah,
they're different flavors and everything. Okay, boys and Berry, tell
me what's your favorite kind of music? Boys in Berry,
I don't know what are the pop tarts? Pop tart?
Come on? I like the s'morest ones. I was a
big Smores pop dart guy. Everybody likes the Smores pop tarts.
(19:17):
Oh well, I like the Oreo two Oreole pop tarts.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I had plenty of those. Look, I'm
just saying I'm excited for that. You look up the
video from last year. The guy had a sign he
was super excited to get frieda alive in that toaster.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Which what does that really say? Right?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, he's pop tart pop tarts if they were sentient,
would like to be cooked and eaten.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
It sounds like I also think you could possibly compare
that to the Fall of Rome.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I'm just you know, positing that you're you're drawing too
many lines here real quick. We were talking about football,
and we've had a lot of people commenting one where
he's another We had an angry guy call in and
said he hate us talking about football because apparently he
doesn't like football.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
So he was, yeah, boy, that guy. You know what,
that's a guy who needs to have a lay on
a couch and and talk about his feelings. Man, he
was hot. It's December twenty third.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
We're just messing around having some fun on a radio show,
and he was angry enough that we were talking about
football that he called in to.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yell at you about it.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
He did, Yeah, that's the stuff we have to deal with,
ladies and gentlemen. So if you think that we just
sit in here on some high horse or whatever that
might That might go for some radio hosts in this
building or otherwise, not us. I'm sitting on a very
low horse as we speak. Yeah, yeah, And I gotta
tell you I don't mind it. I kind of like
being humbled by the people every once in a while.
(20:33):
But just know that I like to mix it up.
Right back. We did get this guy on the talk back.
Do we have a name for this, Oh, let me
check really quick. They sometimes there's a name another Kevin. Yeah,
different Kevin, I believe, yeah, and not the same Kevin,
all right, not the same But what did Kevin have
to say about this conversation we've been having.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
I don't know why YouTube ding gongs are arguing about this.
It ain't gonna happen. It would be nice, but ain't
gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
You later, you literally play that one more time? Wait
before you play it. Yeah, me and Matt we were
talking about the Roman Empire and like whether or not
this was good, and we were really going after each
other's throats.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
And then and here's what Kevin thought about it.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
I don't know why YouTube ding dongs are arguing about this.
It ain't gonna happen. It would be nice, but ain't
gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Later, play one more time. Let me just try one more.
Could you imagine if we changed to a monarchy. I
give you like five good reasons why we should go
to a monarchy in our gouvernment.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I agree, one good king is better than a mediocre democracy.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
And no, no, that's wrong, you're wrong. We've been arguing
about this. What does Kevin have to say?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
I don't know why YouTube ding dongs are arguing about this.
It ain't gonna happen. It would be nice, but ain't
gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
He must Kevin must like the idea of a monarchy.
You could take that and use it for anything. Yeah,
we saved that one. That's a good one, thanks, Kevin.
I like, you know what, today is a day of
creative insults. We had jack Ball and now we got
ding dongs. We are kind of ding dongs. I'll take it.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
You know.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
That's one that I'll take with ding dongs.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Another news item that we needed to get to here,
Luigi Mangioni made the court appearance. Did you see what
he was wearing today? Did you see what he was wearing?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
I know?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Reddit did that site? Reddit? Yeah? What did it say?
That's basically just changed that site's name to a murderers
fan club. Did you see what happened on SNL last night?
Uh huh?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
So Colin Jost is doing a Let me send you
the clip. Let me just send it to you. Let
me just send you the clip. Talk for a couple
of seconds.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
So, Luigi man Joan, I don't want a Joni Man Jonie,
excuse me? I just you know, it's super Mario Brothers
and then you got Chuck Man Joni, you know, and
how do you combine the two? He's a plumber that
plays the trumpet's so smooth, but he's but the guy murdered,
so it's it's not a good thing to talk about.
This is what happens. You maybe just say stuff, and
I am these are the things that run through my head.
(22:56):
I'm trying to make that fit.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Right.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
So he's a guy in a green overalls jump suit.
He's playing the trumpets, but he also is a murder
and that's not good. It's bad and we shouldn't be
making jokes about it. But how do you not? It's
so right for jokes. The jokes are right there, sitting
on a tree, giant delicious apples, but you can't touch
it forbidden fruit because he's because he murdered. I hate it.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
I hate it.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
It's too good, it's too good. Make the guy more boring.
Don't give him a name like Luigi, but man, Joni,
Chuck Man Joni feels so good? A bet it does it? Luigi? No,
don't make that joke. See this is the internal dialogue.
I fall asleep with this stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
This is why I host the show, right, Yeah, And
you get to filter in with some of this because
if I just let you go for an hour That's
what would happen right there.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I would be me arguing with myself about Luigi man
Joni jokes. I say you a link, you could play it.
I'm pretty sure you could just play it straight up.
This was from S and L, which, by the way,
can I just say this having a pretty good season.
I know people don't like the politics and stuff. I
think they were pretty spot on with some of theics.
It made fun of the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Stan at Carve as Joe Biden stumbling around was great
gaff again as the uh as Tim Walls. I almost
forgot Tim Walls's name. That's probably not good for Tim Walls. Uh, yeah,
they're making fun of it was great.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
It was fun. It was funny and stuff. I'm not
too sensitive about stuff and.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
That a lot of this stuff's been actually pretty funny
this season, so I'm not gonna be upset. Well, this
is they They do this thing called a weekend Update
or whatever, where they talk about some of the big
things that are happening in uh the world, and they
make jokes about it. It's kind of like a weekend
version of what you know Letterman used to do or
Colbert does now and Fallon and all those guys where they,
(24:39):
you know, comment on Hey did you hear about this
thing that's going on? And here's a joke about it?
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Haa.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
It's kind of like that, except it's, you know, two
guys sitting here in Colin. Jo just is sitting there
doing this. Let's hear when he brings up Luigi Manjoni.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Luigi Mangioni drama. Yeah, yeah, definitely woo you're wooing for justice?
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Right?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
All right, so there's a yeah, how about that? What
does that tell you? It's not just on Reddit?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Well did you hear about that? When he showed up
to the courthouse, did you hear it? See what he
looked like today? Well, no family showed up to support him,
but you know who did? Twenty four young ladies with
masks on look it up? What kind of masks?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I don't want to look at um. I'm trying to
stay pure and clean. We're getting close to Christmas. We're dwelling.
We're dwelling on comfort and joy and happiness. He looks
so cool. No he does not, Yes he does. He
objectively does. And that's the appeal. You can't tell me
in a vacuum anybody'd be cheering this guy if he
wasn't a handsome, well dressed twenty six year old Italian guy.
(25:49):
I mean, seriously, he looks like an unhinged murderer with
a back problem. That's what he looks like. No, that's
what he is.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Okay, you're getting those two things mixed up. He looks
like something else. You know, was it Ted Bundy? The
guy who uh was a Ted Bundy? Was?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Who was it?
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Who was very charming, was able to like talk his
way into like having many followers. Yeah, yeah, and you're
just like, this person should not have this many females
that are like into him as some sort of like deity.
I mean, he killed people, but some people they just
get brainwashed by this. And people don't like the healthcare industry.
We've outlined that for a variety of different reasons. People
(26:30):
don't tend to want to care about somebody who's in
the healthcare industry and their health and their well being,
their family or whatever. And he's like, this guy was
making millions of dollars a year. He's making more than
our salaries every single day of the year. And while
at the same time they were basically holding people's lives
in their hands by saying yes they can have that,
(26:50):
No they cannot have that. Stuff like that, Right, there's
not going to be a lot of empathy for people
who were making those calls. And I can understand that.
At the same time, he murdered a guy in cold blood.
We have evidence that makes it seem as though he
is the guy. Now today he entered a not guilty plea.
It'll be interesting to see how they defend that because
he's got the manifesto, he had, the gun, he had
(27:13):
the I mean, you can pretty clearly compare the identity,
like the identification of the photos and his fake identification
that he was using around town to this guy, right,
and it's just like, what defense could he possibly have
that he didn't do this except for maybe like they're
pleading insanity or something.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Time is going to tell on this, but ugh, not great.
Although he did look very handsome when he went in today.
Objectively speaking, this is the play he is. He is
trying to appeal to people, and this is his play, handsome,
well dressed twenty six year old Italian guy. I don't
know how to explain it well. When does his line
(27:55):
come out. Well, let's hope there isn't one his his
his jailhouse merch. We'll all be wearing orange jumpsuits. No, no,
but let's be honest. There's a reason that so many
women aren't interested in this guy. You can't tell me
that if you looked like you were me, no disrespect
to you, we'd have that.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Kind of following.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
People don't know what I look like, so they actually
think you're serious.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah, you're a handsome guy. You're not Luigi Mangione handsome,
but neither am I. It's hard to be that handsome,
not quite all handsome, maybe like palmsome. I probably should
take a break. It's three fifty news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
Emery songer on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Listen to news radio eleven ten kfab anywhere anytime on
your free I heard radio app oh your music radio
and podcasts. All right, it's three fifty three.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
We were talking about Luigi Manngoni here and the people
that are really into them, and I guess the conversation Matt.
First of all, we're trying to under why there are
so many supporters of him. In my theory is he's
just hot. He's a good looking young man. He's twenty
six years old, he's Italian, he's got a good skin tone,
(29:10):
he's got nice hair, and if you watched what he
was looking like when he walked in, he had a
nice burgundy sweater over a collared shirt. I mean, the guy,
the guy is basically like doing an Armani ad while
he's walking in for his pre trial hearing Matt Case.
You know why he's got support, It's because he looks
(29:30):
like that. And that's that's my best theory, because people
who are cold blooded murderers usually don't get this kind
of hype.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
You know why he does?
Speaker 1 (29:41):
You think do you think anybody looked at Dylan Roof
and was like, oh, yeah, that's a good guy, not
that he did it. Like, let's say Dylan Roof did this.
I don't think the same thing happens. There's a whole
lot of sickos in the world, I don't, you know.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah, well, I guess it's the unfortunate side effect of
being falling broken piece people. I yeah, but it is.
I mean I suppose I kinda I could start to
see where you're coming from. Sure, Like if you okay,
if you imagine, let's put the shoe on the other foot.
If Sabrina Carpenter you mentioned earlier in the show. Yeah,
(30:14):
if she went out there and you know, popped a ceo.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
You know, with a gun, with a gun, not any
other way, or a connotation that you can make there,
Oh right, important, context context matters case she commits a crime.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
But would we feel more bad for her?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
The answer is yes, isn't it if she did the
exact same thing he did and she's not already famous.
It's just like she looks like Sabrina Carpenter and it's
a woman like that, and she's got like some history
of being like wronged by the healthcare industry and like
got to a desperate point where she just like commits
this crime. Like we would still, I think objectively, say
she needs to be punished for the crime that she committed.
(30:53):
But we'd have more sympathy for her than we have
for Luigi. We're not attracted to Luigi. Our heart isn't
like Luigi, Why do you have to do this? You
look so cool, You're such a smart guy, you had
nothing like like you.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Were so set up for success. Why Luigi?
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Why we're not saying that because we're just like, this
guy killed a guy in cold blood on a New
York street. But if it was an attractive young woman
instead who was had the exact same backstory, and I
think we would I think we would look at it differently.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Well, there would. The line would be out the door
of fellas with neck beards and acne and fedoras, and
they'd be lining up.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
They'd be like, I'll help you bail out of jail.
Why do you have to throw fedors in? I don't
know plenty of good classy individuals who like to wear
a fedor. No, I agree, but not with a T shirt.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
If you're going for.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Door, you better look nice with it unless you're Italian. No,
that's across the board. Dang hardcore. Well, anyway, there's our
Luigi Manngioni conversation on this Christmas Eve eve Day. We
gotta have more for you. You can call us a
four oh two five five eight eleven ten. We're just
having fun, goofing off, have fun with us. News Rady
(32:06):
eleven ten, KFA b
Trying to come up with solutions that are actually good
for college football and not exclusive for you know, the
big boys.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
And so the big boys all get to play. Lots
of college football fans laying on the couch these days,
you know, talking it out, trying to talk to their
feelings of that experience over the last weekend. A lot
of stress balls going around right now.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
And I'm here to say, making the club more exclusive
isn't good. FCS figured out a twenty four team playoff,
made it very exciting. All of the conference champions got
a chance to be a part of it. So this year,
let's just say we did that all the conference champions.
But we don't seed. No, you don't get automatic buys
if you're a conference champion or anything like that. We
just seed based on what the rankings look like. But
(00:41):
every conference champion gets into the twenty four team field.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
And then here here's another thing to help the teams
that got the buys, the top eight, we will reseed
after the first round. It will become a real bracket
after the first round. So the first round, the nine
seed in this case would be Boise State would play
twenty four seed Jacksonville's eight. Okay, okay, And the idea
is like, whoever wins that just gets to go to
the next round. And then after we get all the winners,
(01:07):
then we reseed and the number one seed, Oregon would
play the worst remaining seed.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Does that make sense? Yeah? Okay?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
So other games notable Ohio against SMU the MAC champion,
Ohio Bobcats, Army against Arizona State in a clash of styles.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
How about Missouri against Ole miss Iowad State would play
South Carolina in a twenty fourteen playoff. I would stay
South Carolina's that's the tad juicy there, b Y, you
would play Clipson, Miami would take on Illinois. Marshall would
play Alabama.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
M that one. That one doesn't stand out. But those
are those are the first round matchups. Who's not watching this?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
You're telling me of those eight games, we're not gonna
get at least one or two that are awesome.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
You know what? Yeah, I I am I follow following Armies,
you know what?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
And okay, and then we reced and then Oregon plays
the worst team left and Georgia, Texas, Penn State, Notre Dame,
Ohio State, Tennessee and Indiana. We just like run through
that and then we play another round.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
The fact that Army gets in there, you know what,
I'm eating my words a little bit because I would
love to see Army in there. I would love to
see Army get a shot today.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
The reason they're in for those who don't know, they
won the American Athletic Conference this year.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, and you know what, I'd give them a scrappers
chance against Arizona State. They're tough, they're tough to game
plan for now. Notre Dame made mincemeat out of them,
but that doesn't mean in Arizona State is going to
roll over them. Arizona States never played a team like that.
They've been playing big twelve teams. They haven't seen the
the power and the power tea out there. Yeah, the Wishbone.
(02:40):
Yeah yeah. So who says no? This would be This
would be a lot of fun. And there's definitely a
couple of games that could provide some interesting upsets possibly
as well. But I mean, we have Power Conference matchups Illinois, Miami,
Missouri and Old miss Iowa, Stay in South Carolina, BUYU
and Clemson. Those are all Power Conference matchups in the
(03:02):
first round and then you're basically gonna get a ton
more of that kind of like matchup, but you let
the underdog, like an SMU or even an army or
in Iowa State, have a chance to decide that on
the field. What are we doing here? How is that?
How are we not doing that already?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
We have to keep the sanctity of the ballgames. My bad, Sorry,
I forgot bike. Those TV networks happy got it right.
It's never about playing the games or winning the games.
It's just where the money's coming from.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
But don't you miss Ron Daane playing against Stanford in
the Rose Bowl?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Sorry, I don't, because the Rose Bowl most years, what
did it mean? Oh, we won the Rose Bowl. Yeah,
that's what it meant. But that wasn't There wasn't any
bigger meaning to that. I remember when that was enough. Yeah,
well it's not now, because we want to crown a
national champion the right way. Everybody else, every other sport
in America, every other level of football, including FCS Division two,
(03:57):
Division three, naia' you co high schools around the country,
they all have a playoff system figured out to crown
a champion.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
The one level that has had the worst.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Time figuring this out is the big time FBS college football,
and now it's just like everybody else, and people are
still complaining. Now it's not just like everybody else. The
twelve team playoff is too new, and none of these
people that actually are educated about anything, they don't know
what it's like to actually crown a national champion. They
just think, well, your name is Ohio State or Alabama,
(04:29):
you deserve to have a shot at winning the thing.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
And that is bull hockey to me. You know what
it reminds me of. I remember when Nebraska won the
national championship back in ninety four. Penn State was pretty
frustrated because I believe they either finished with one loss
or were undefeated that year, and they felt like, you
know what, if we had a shot, We just wish
we had our shot. Yeah, and I'm here to provide
literally everyone with an earshot a shot. I'm just saying
(04:53):
Alabama right now is saying I wish I had a
shot at SMU. Yeah they lost three games. Well I
bet you they wouldn't have lost to SMU my opinion,
But I think I'm r fine win the game. Okay,
you know, I'm giving you an option here, I like
twenty four better than twelve. I'll put it that way.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Twenty four team playoff. Everybody has a seat at the table.
We don't have to argue about this. Who were the
first teams we left out? Syracuse and UNLV. That's right,
So those are the teams. Okay, So like, okay, come on, now,
what are we talking about here? If you're really one
of the major players and you're ranked in the top fifteen,
you're making this bracket.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Syracuse, Colorado and UNLV were left out. Those were the
three that I had to make a room for for
the major room four yeah, for the lower level conference champions. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
And then in the future there would be another team
we'd probably have to leave out with the new PAC
twelve unless they were ranked.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Can you imagine, okay, let's just pretend in a false
world where this's actually happened, Oregon State or Washington State
would have gotten in because they won the one game. Well,
I'm not thinking about that. I'm more thinking about can
you imagine Dion Sanders and how big of a stink
he would have made if his Colorado Buffaloes got left
out of the twenty four If that's what happened or
that close. Yeah, oh, that would have just lapped that
(06:01):
up like the most delicious soup in the world.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
This is what college football is now. We're trying to
fix it. We're trying to fix it. They're not gonna
fix it. You know what they're gonna do. We're sitting
here watching the Idaho Potato Bowl, which is fine, congratulations.
You know what we're gonna do. We're gonna sit here
and have twelve teams next year, and I'm guessing that
the little guy is going to be left on the
outside looking in more often than not. Now, they're probably
(06:26):
gonna expand a fourteen or sixteen. But the conversation is
going to stay the same is are we sure we
want to allow all the conference champs in? Are we
sure we want to allow them to have the buys?
Are we sure we want to allow teams like Indiana
who have no ranked wins to be in this thing?
Oh but Texas, that's okay, that's different. If you're not
ranked in the top ten preseason, it's an uphill battle. Sparky,
better win every single one of your games. That's the
(06:48):
end of the that's the discussion. It's stupid stupid anyway,
and the games weren't even enjoyable to watch it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
The atmospheres were fine, but the games were boring in blowouts.
Couple of things that we needed to get to in
the news. I don't want to spend too much time,
you know, boring people on the news. And it's not
like the news is always boring, it's just it's Christmas,
Christmas on our mind. I'm wearing my squirrel Christmas sweater.
(07:15):
Say that again for the people.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
I'm wearing my squirtle Christmas sweater. Yeah, okay, what I
don't know. I just think there's like I would say
that ninety seven percent of the people listening don't know
what that means. Okay, tell them what it means. I
don't want to. I wanted to remain a mystery. No,
I want Ethel out there to never know what squirrel is.
Tell them what squirrel is. Ethyl ask your grandson on
(07:36):
Christmas about squirrel? Yeah, the radio told me to ask
you about squirtle.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Could you imagine being like a ten year old kid
and Grandma Ethel pulls that out while you're opening.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Presents, son, What is a squirrele? Very cute?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Turtle looking thing who is a Pokemon and he can
squirt water. He has different water attacks. Is that with
that when he battles and he wears a shell because
he's a turtle, he's bipedal. He oh, he's bipedal. Now
he can walk on two legs most of the time.
And in the first episode he wears sunglasses. Squirt all
(08:17):
squirt and what pokemon say the words that are their name,
so like Charmanders speaks words.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
He says, Charmander.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I'm just gonna go ahead and take a break. It's
three sixteen.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I'll get to the news that the real hard hitting
stuff coming up next on news radio eleven ten Kfab and.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Marie Sungner on News Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
This is important stuff that needs to be talked about.
We talked about last hour, Joe Biden commuting the sentences
of thirty seven of the forty people that are in
a federal death row. But one thing that we were
definitely paying very close attention to is Matt Gates and
the House at this committee report, which we knew was coming,
(09:04):
was that last week that they told us that this
was going to be coming. Something like that, I feel
like they've been talking about this for a while.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
He had a statement last week though, in preparation essentially
for this if it were to come out.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
And you know, when you make a preemptive statement stating
a list of allegations you didn't do, and the.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Fact that you're upset that you don't get a chance
to properly debate them. Now, I'm just saying, that's a
certain kind of look, you know, well, and the fact
that and this is the other thing. And I'm not
trying to say, you know, we are a country of
innocent until proven guilty kind of thing. But for him
to be nominated as Attorney General, immediately resigned from his
post as the representative from Florida and basically just kind
(09:45):
of be out there with this looming. They had to
make a special vote to still release this. They're like,
you're not getting away from us, Matt. We got to
let people know. And it is by partisan. There are
Republicans that are on that committee as well, but again,
he didn't have a lot of friends that were Republicans either.
If you think about it, I mean, he was constantly
rocking the boat and flipping carts and trying to, you know,
(10:07):
do some different things in there, and it really rubbed
a lot of people the wrong way, which probably went
against him in this And it was an eleven page ledger.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Are you ready to hear what was in here? Think
about it? Okay? All right, here we go.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
The report says, and I quote, from twenty seventeen to
twenty twenty, Representative Gates made tens of thousands of dollars
in payments to women that the committee determined were likely
in connection with sexual activity and or drug use.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
That's not good.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
The Ethics panel also mentions Representative Gates appears to have
initially set up this pseudonymous Is that how you say that? Pseudonomus?
Like a pseudonym? Right, I've never heard that before. Pseudonymous? Yeah,
so a pseudonym you've heard of.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Sounds like it sounds like a wrestler whose first name
is sueus up the turd buckle.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
This pseudonym is like you're going under a different name,
Like you do you go under a pseudonym on the radio?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Oh right, yeah, I don't. You're not supposed to say that.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
My bad, I didn't tell I didn't say what your
real name is, though, better not, but when you like
this is the anonymous versus anonymity things.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Sudonamus sounds like a wrestler that Andy Coffin wrestled back
in the seventies for those who.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Know, no pseudonamous Oh gosh, what a word to pull there.
Representative Gates appears to have initially set up the pseudonymous
email account in order to make payments relating to cannabis
products and then also used it to make payments to women.
The ledger released by the committee shows a range of
descriptions that were used when sending the payments, including groceries,
(11:47):
dry clean, dinner reimbursement, as well as relaxation and for
being my friend. Is also accused in this situation in
twenty seventeen of having relations with in seventeen year old woman.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
What's Randy Newman got to do with any of this? Oh?
Thank you for being and that's a different got a
friend in me? Yeah? No, have you ever seen Will
Sasso's Randy Newman? By the way, No, oh, that's good.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
See I've seen his ventura though it's Jesse Ventura, which
is good.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Oh Will sass.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yeah, he's pretty good at that, Okay, And then they
released some text messages as part of this. A message
in twenty eighteen Gates repeatedly asked an unnamed woman for cartridges, vitamins,
and a full complement of party favors. One September twenty eighteen,
exchange shows Gates messaging, I need cartridges cartridges?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
What to talk at ink? This guy running out of
ink the commodity owner.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
The committee report references them and says they were referring
to marijuana cartridges for vaping.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Just a few days later, the former congressman agreed to
pay fifteen hundred dollars intuition for the same woman to
enroll in an online class. The woman wrote to him
via text, Hey, Matt, would I be able to ask
you guys a huge favor. I'm also back home and
have refills for you. The panel was not able to
determine how and win Representative Gates paid for party favors,
(13:08):
which were explained as ecstasy and cocaine.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Wow now.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Also in the House Ethics Report, there were text messages
that women had complained that Gates had not paid what
he had agreed to pay. A woman asked Gates in
a text and she was saved as Marissa. Marissa Marisa said,
so I'm not to be taken care of for last week,
(13:35):
and then Gates said, I gave you two fifty today
and I don't know. Now you're getting stuck in like
what a weird paper trail, Like nobody's gonna find these
even if you delete these from your phone. I mean
they exist in the ether that the phone companies can
go back and find this stuff. They're just not gone forever,
asked Tom Brady. He tried to smash his phone completely
(13:57):
open so people didn't think he was doing anything wrong
when he deflated those footballs.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Mister deflate gate tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Anyway, that'll fall report. I'm not going to read all
eleven pages. But yeah, yeah, it's not a great look.
None of this is a great look for old Matt.
And uh, I guess what is this going to look
like for him if he doesn't have the ability to
kind of properly defend these and try like they tried
a lawsuit at the end here to try to prevent
(14:26):
it from being released.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
That didn't work out. They released it.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Anyway, It's not not a great look for Matt Gates,
and I don't like I'm certain he's not going to
be well we figured he wasn't, but he's not going
to be a senator. Now, does he go into television?
What network would just be like, Okay, it's okay, Matt,
like we're gonna forget about all this other stuff. Does
he take hag Seth's spot if haig Seth gets confirmed?
Does he take Hexith spot on Fox News? It's tough,
(14:52):
that would be it. That'd be a tough thing to
explain if you're if you're Fox News, I'm not sure
that's the kind of guy that you're.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah, I think he he's coming to a podcast near you.
I don't think. I don't think a network. No, you
imagine that. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
There's too much crazy stuff going on out there right now. Okay,
let's go to Georgie on the phone line of four
h two five to five, eight eleven ten. George, welcome
to the show today. What's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Hey? Brother? What's up? Hello? Here's the problem I'm having
with this releaseing gates of stuff after he's gone. Yeah,
they don't do that on a regular basis.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
They almost never do that.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Things these things are classified. But here's my major problem.
We have seventeen million dollars paid in the last ten
years for sexual harassment lawsuits from congressman and senators. Most
of them were settled, according to the News, between fifty
and sixty five thousand dollars of settlement. That means we
(15:47):
have hundreds of congressmens and senators with sexual harassment claims
that were paid off by the taxpayers with no names attached.
If you're going to release this guy, let's see the
rest of this garbage you people got going on.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Yeah, it's a good point there, Georgia and I try
to figure out on a variety of levels here, You know,
what was Gates like, I know that he didn't make
a lot of friends in the Republican Party, and I
know that the Democrats obviously hate him.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
What were they were?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
This release is certainly trying to block him from doing
something in the future. And I wonder, and he resigned.
If he didn't resign, he would have still been serving there,
even if he would have lost reelection, he'd still be
in the chamber. So I'm guessing they were just like, look,
this is a strange circumstance. Him resigning changed up this timeline,
but we're still going to vote to release this. There
(16:34):
had to be some reason that they want to try
to smear him to the point where he can't come back.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Yeah, they don't like him because he's a jack ball.
But the point being, if I'm Gates, I'm goffing everybody's
name that I know. Hey, Senator so and so, did
this cost it eighty four thousand bucks? Congressman, So I'm
telling on everybody. I'll be on CNN every night for
a month's feeling.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Hey, well see if he does that. He's the kind
of guy that probably would. I'll be honest with you
what I mean.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
He's a vindictive, little little cross eyed hobo. But Ahi, Bud,
you have a good day.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Merry Christmas, George Christmas.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Well, so George doesn't like Matt Gates, but he for
the sake of fairness, we need to hear some other names,
because it's certainly not just a Matt Gage problem.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
A vindictive, cross eyed little hobo.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Oh what was that jack ball? I like that one. Dude.
Joe's on the phone line. Well, get Joe real quick, Hey, Joe,
it's up.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Hey, every I heard you guys are talking about a
squirre tol. But I have not a clue what that is?
What is that?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Uh, it's a turtle.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
It's a turtle guy from Pokemon and he uh he
does he does stuff with water. He can squirt water
at people and in battles and stuff.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
So it's not a female thing.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
No, no, no, now now now, j I appreciate this.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Joe, Joe, have a happy Christmas.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Joe.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Oh that's funny. No it's not. It's it's a very innocent,
very innocent thing. Squirrel.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
You can search search him on you search him on
the Google and you'll find out what squirrel is. And
I like him and he's on my Christmas sweater. Three

Speaker 5 (18:25):
B Emery's songer Share It with Someone you Love on
News Radio eleven ten Kfab.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I like the idea of uh, you know, festivities is
you know, like the the pop Tarts Bowl. I always
say it will be playing in They're gonna be uh
pop tarts everywhere, including live pop tarts, and they're gonna
be a fan vote as to like which pop tart
is gonna cook be cooked alive essentially for people to eat. Afterwards,
the winning team gets to eat the pop tart whoa.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, so what is it like? Is it like, uh,
look like them show style look at to know these
pop darts. Yeah, they're gonna be doing stuff throughout. Yeah,
they're different flavors and everything. Okay, boys and Berry, tell
me what's your favorite kind of music? Boys in Berry,
I don't know what are the pop tarts? Pop tart?
Come on? I like the s'morest ones. I was a
big Smores pop dart guy. Everybody likes the Smores pop tarts.
(19:17):
Oh well, I like the Oreo two Oreole pop tarts.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I had plenty of those. Look, I'm
just saying I'm excited for that. You look up the
video from last year. The guy had a sign he
was super excited to get frieda alive in that toaster.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Which what does that really say? Right?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, he's pop tart pop tarts if they were sentient,
would like to be cooked and eaten.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
It sounds like I also think you could possibly compare
that to the Fall of Rome.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I'm just you know, positing that you're you're drawing too
many lines here real quick. We were talking about football,
and we've had a lot of people commenting one where
he's another We had an angry guy call in and
said he hate us talking about football because apparently he
doesn't like football.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
So he was, yeah, boy, that guy. You know what,
that's a guy who needs to have a lay on
a couch and and talk about his feelings. Man, he
was hot. It's December twenty third.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
We're just messing around having some fun on a radio show,
and he was angry enough that we were talking about
football that he called in to.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yell at you about it.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
He did, Yeah, that's the stuff we have to deal with,
ladies and gentlemen. So if you think that we just
sit in here on some high horse or whatever that
might That might go for some radio hosts in this
building or otherwise, not us. I'm sitting on a very
low horse as we speak. Yeah, yeah, And I gotta
tell you I don't mind it. I kind of like
being humbled by the people every once in a while.
(20:33):
But just know that I like to mix it up.
Right back. We did get this guy on the talk back.
Do we have a name for this, Oh, let me
check really quick. They sometimes there's a name another Kevin. Yeah,
different Kevin, I believe, yeah, and not the same Kevin,
all right, not the same But what did Kevin have
to say about this conversation we've been having.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
I don't know why YouTube ding gongs are arguing about this.
It ain't gonna happen. It would be nice, but ain't
gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
You later, you literally play that one more time? Wait
before you play it. Yeah, me and Matt we were
talking about the Roman Empire and like whether or not
this was good, and we were really going after each
other's throats.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
And then and here's what Kevin thought about it.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
I don't know why YouTube ding dongs are arguing about this.
It ain't gonna happen. It would be nice, but ain't
gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Later, play one more time. Let me just try one more.
Could you imagine if we changed to a monarchy. I
give you like five good reasons why we should go
to a monarchy in our gouvernment.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I agree, one good king is better than a mediocre democracy.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
And no, no, that's wrong, you're wrong. We've been arguing
about this. What does Kevin have to say?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
I don't know why YouTube ding dongs are arguing about this.
It ain't gonna happen. It would be nice, but ain't
gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
He must Kevin must like the idea of a monarchy.
You could take that and use it for anything. Yeah,
we saved that one. That's a good one, thanks, Kevin.
I like, you know what, today is a day of
creative insults. We had jack Ball and now we got
ding dongs. We are kind of ding dongs. I'll take it.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
You know.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
That's one that I'll take with ding dongs.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Another news item that we needed to get to here,
Luigi Mangioni made the court appearance. Did you see what
he was wearing today? Did you see what he was wearing?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
I know?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Reddit did that site? Reddit? Yeah? What did it say?
That's basically just changed that site's name to a murderers
fan club. Did you see what happened on SNL last night?
Uh huh?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
So Colin Jost is doing a Let me send you
the clip. Let me just send it to you. Let
me just send you the clip. Talk for a couple
of seconds.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
So, Luigi man Joan, I don't want a Joni Man Jonie,
excuse me? I just you know, it's super Mario Brothers
and then you got Chuck Man Joni, you know, and
how do you combine the two? He's a plumber that
plays the trumpet's so smooth, but he's but the guy murdered,
so it's it's not a good thing to talk about.
This is what happens. You maybe just say stuff, and
I am these are the things that run through my head.
(22:56):
I'm trying to make that fit.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Right.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
So he's a guy in a green overalls jump suit.
He's playing the trumpets, but he also is a murder
and that's not good. It's bad and we shouldn't be
making jokes about it. But how do you not? It's
so right for jokes. The jokes are right there, sitting
on a tree, giant delicious apples, but you can't touch
it forbidden fruit because he's because he murdered. I hate it.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
I hate it.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
It's too good, it's too good. Make the guy more boring.
Don't give him a name like Luigi, but man, Joni,
Chuck Man Joni feels so good? A bet it does it? Luigi? No,
don't make that joke. See this is the internal dialogue.
I fall asleep with this stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
This is why I host the show, right, Yeah, And
you get to filter in with some of this because
if I just let you go for an hour That's
what would happen right there.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I would be me arguing with myself about Luigi man
Joni jokes. I say you a link, you could play it.
I'm pretty sure you could just play it straight up.
This was from S and L, which, by the way,
can I just say this having a pretty good season.
I know people don't like the politics and stuff. I
think they were pretty spot on with some of theics.
It made fun of the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Stan at Carve as Joe Biden stumbling around was great
gaff again as the uh as Tim Walls. I almost
forgot Tim Walls's name. That's probably not good for Tim Walls. Uh, yeah,
they're making fun of it was great.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
It was fun. It was funny and stuff. I'm not
too sensitive about stuff and.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
That a lot of this stuff's been actually pretty funny
this season, so I'm not gonna be upset. Well, this
is they They do this thing called a weekend Update
or whatever, where they talk about some of the big
things that are happening in uh the world, and they
make jokes about it. It's kind of like a weekend
version of what you know Letterman used to do or
Colbert does now and Fallon and all those guys where they,
(24:39):
you know, comment on Hey did you hear about this
thing that's going on? And here's a joke about it?
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Haa.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
It's kind of like that, except it's, you know, two
guys sitting here in Colin. Jo just is sitting there
doing this. Let's hear when he brings up Luigi Manjoni.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Luigi Mangioni drama. Yeah, yeah, definitely woo you're wooing for justice?
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Right?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
All right, so there's a yeah, how about that? What
does that tell you? It's not just on Reddit?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Well did you hear about that? When he showed up
to the courthouse, did you hear it? See what he
looked like today? Well, no family showed up to support him,
but you know who did? Twenty four young ladies with
masks on look it up? What kind of masks?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I don't want to look at um. I'm trying to
stay pure and clean. We're getting close to Christmas. We're dwelling.
We're dwelling on comfort and joy and happiness. He looks
so cool. No he does not, Yes he does. He
objectively does. And that's the appeal. You can't tell me
in a vacuum anybody'd be cheering this guy if he
wasn't a handsome, well dressed twenty six year old Italian guy.
(25:49):
I mean, seriously, he looks like an unhinged murderer with
a back problem. That's what he looks like. No, that's
what he is.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Okay, you're getting those two things mixed up. He looks
like something else. You know, was it Ted Bundy? The
guy who uh was a Ted Bundy? Was?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Who was it?
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Who was very charming, was able to like talk his
way into like having many followers. Yeah, yeah, and you're
just like, this person should not have this many females
that are like into him as some sort of like deity.
I mean, he killed people, but some people they just
get brainwashed by this. And people don't like the healthcare industry.
We've outlined that for a variety of different reasons. People
(26:30):
don't tend to want to care about somebody who's in
the healthcare industry and their health and their well being,
their family or whatever. And he's like, this guy was
making millions of dollars a year. He's making more than
our salaries every single day of the year. And while
at the same time they were basically holding people's lives
in their hands by saying yes they can have that,
(26:50):
No they cannot have that. Stuff like that, Right, there's
not going to be a lot of empathy for people
who were making those calls. And I can understand that.
At the same time, he murdered a guy in cold blood.
We have evidence that makes it seem as though he
is the guy. Now today he entered a not guilty plea.
It'll be interesting to see how they defend that because
he's got the manifesto, he had, the gun, he had
(27:13):
the I mean, you can pretty clearly compare the identity,
like the identification of the photos and his fake identification
that he was using around town to this guy, right,
and it's just like, what defense could he possibly have
that he didn't do this except for maybe like they're
pleading insanity or something.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Time is going to tell on this, but ugh, not great.
Although he did look very handsome when he went in today.
Objectively speaking, this is the play he is. He is
trying to appeal to people, and this is his play, handsome,
well dressed twenty six year old Italian guy. I don't
know how to explain it well. When does his line
(27:55):
come out. Well, let's hope there isn't one his his
his jailhouse merch. We'll all be wearing orange jumpsuits. No, no,
but let's be honest. There's a reason that so many
women aren't interested in this guy. You can't tell me
that if you looked like you were me, no disrespect
to you, we'd have that.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Kind of following.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
People don't know what I look like, so they actually
think you're serious.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah, you're a handsome guy. You're not Luigi Mangione handsome,
but neither am I. It's hard to be that handsome,
not quite all handsome, maybe like palmsome. I probably should
take a break. It's three fifty news radio eleven ten kfab.

Listen to news radio eleven ten kfab anywhere anytime on

and podcasts. All right, it's three fifty three.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
We were talking about Luigi Manngoni here and the people
that are really into them, and I guess the conversation Matt.
First of all, we're trying to under why there are
so many supporters of him. In my theory is he's
just hot. He's a good looking young man. He's twenty
six years old, he's Italian, he's got a good skin tone,
(29:10):
he's got nice hair, and if you watched what he
was looking like when he walked in, he had a
nice burgundy sweater over a collared shirt. I mean, the guy,
the guy is basically like doing an Armani ad while
he's walking in for his pre trial hearing Matt Case.
You know why he's got support, It's because he looks
(29:30):
like that. And that's that's my best theory, because people
who are cold blooded murderers usually don't get this kind
of hype.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
You know why he does?
Speaker 1 (29:41):
You think do you think anybody looked at Dylan Roof
and was like, oh, yeah, that's a good guy, not
that he did it. Like, let's say Dylan Roof did this.
I don't think the same thing happens. There's a whole
lot of sickos in the world, I don't, you know.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah, well, I guess it's the unfortunate side effect of
being falling broken piece people. I yeah, but it is.
I mean I suppose I kinda I could start to
see where you're coming from. Sure, Like if you okay,
if you imagine, let's put the shoe on the other foot.
If Sabrina Carpenter you mentioned earlier in the show. Yeah,
(30:14):
if she went out there and you know, popped a ceo.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
You know, with a gun, with a gun, not any
other way, or a connotation that you can make there,
Oh right, important, context context matters case she commits a crime.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
But would we feel more bad for her?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
The answer is yes, isn't it if she did the
exact same thing he did and she's not already famous.
It's just like she looks like Sabrina Carpenter and it's
a woman like that, and she's got like some history
of being like wronged by the healthcare industry and like
got to a desperate point where she just like commits
this crime. Like we would still, I think objectively, say
she needs to be punished for the crime that she committed.
(30:53):
But we'd have more sympathy for her than we have
for Luigi. We're not attracted to Luigi. Our heart isn't
like Luigi, Why do you have to do this? You
look so cool, You're such a smart guy, you had
nothing like like you.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Were so set up for success. Why Luigi?
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Why we're not saying that because we're just like, this
guy killed a guy in cold blood on a New
York street. But if it was an attractive young woman
instead who was had the exact same backstory, and I
think we would I think we would look at it differently.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Well, there would. The line would be out the door
of fellas with neck beards and acne and fedoras, and
they'd be lining up.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
They'd be like, I'll help you bail out of jail.
Why do you have to throw fedors in? I don't
know plenty of good classy individuals who like to wear
a fedor. No, I agree, but not with a T shirt.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
If you're going for.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Door, you better look nice with it unless you're Italian. No,
that's across the board. Dang hardcore. Well, anyway, there's our
Luigi Manngioni conversation on this Christmas Eve eve Day. We
gotta have more for you. You can call us a

having fun, goofing off, have fun with us. News Rady
