Speaker 1 (00:00):
We get to say score, and then we high five,
and then we put it on the scoreboard.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
And then we tell people who ask us what the
score is. We can just be like scoreboard.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Yeah, we're just like those, like the White Sox announcers.
Another one goes on the board.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yes, it's you can put it on the board. Yes,
that guy's been retired for a while now, and it's sad.
Oh it's never been the same since.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
That's about how long it's been since I watched baseball
that I remember.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
That guy, Hawk Harrelson. Yeah, yeah, he's still alive, but
he taught me a lot about baseball. You know, you
have these people that just kind of enter your life
in very weird ways, and you don't understand the influence
of the effect they have. Hawk Harrelson, the White Sox announcer.
As I was growing up watching the White Sox games,
I mean, I just loved listening to him because he
talked baseball strategy. So I learned a lot about baseball
strategy from him. But just the way that he had
(00:44):
all those little like catchphrases. I mean when I started
my baseball broadcasting career, I mean, fifty percent of what
I was saying came directly from hearing Hawk Harrelson say
it one hundred times hawk Hawk. Well, his first name's Ken,
but his nicknames Hawk Ken, the Hawk Harrelson.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
That's pretty cool nickname.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, it's because he had a big old nose. Oh really,
look like he had a beak.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Well, you know, he got a cool nickname out of
the deal, so he's probably not complaining.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yeah, he's good though. I mean a lot of people
who aren't white Sox fans think he's terrible historically because
he's such a cheerleader for his team. Nowadays, it's like
all local broadcast announcers. Isn't he supposed to be the
local broadcast announcer? I loved it. Yeah, and then they
would be doing badly. I mean you could hear it
in his voice. I mean it truly pained him that
they were playing poorly. That's the way the announcers are
(01:29):
around here. When you hear the Huskers and in the
local announcers, you know, they definitely root for the team.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
That's fine.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah I think so too. But yeah, that guy you
want to talk about, just a guy that you don't
know how much they influence you. I mean, the reason
I'm in this business in some ways because of him
and what I learned watching him and hearing him broadcast
so many games. Because my entire broadcasting career came from
me starting broadcasting baseball games when I was eighteen years old,
straight up. So there you go. Yeah, did you get
(01:56):
to meet him? No, But I will say this, you know,
you just bring him up randomly. It's interesting. I don't
know if there's a bigger influence on my entire life
than that guy when you consider where my career ended
up taking me. Wow, just because of how much what
I learned from listening to him, even when I didn't
want to be a broadcaster growing up, and how much
that influenced me early in my career that made me
eventually want to become a broadcaster. If I didn't have
(02:17):
the knowledge that I learned from him as a broadcaster
and using some of the stuff that he said to
get me going until I became good enough to have
my own stuff, who knows where I would have been.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
This is good to know, considering we're what about five
months away from your two year anniversary. Yeah, I just
forget everything I said and keep going.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
To two years doing this specific show yeah right, Yeah,
I'm just saying you never talked to the man that
it might be kind of cool to do on air. Yeah,
I don't know. He's pretty old these days, and he's
probably on a golf car somewhere every single day. I'm
sure he doesn't like to be uh pestered too much.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I give us ten minutes and it'll be a fun time,
you know, and he'll certainly get his fair share of praise. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
we'll see, we'll see. That'd be pretty sick, though hopefully
he doesn't. What's the guy from Mash Radar Oriiley? Hope
he doesn't pull a Radar O'Reilly on us? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
What the heck was that guy? About? The guy who
plays Radar O'Reilly and Mash. For decades, people of a
tumble eyewall were begging for him just to come for
mash Fest, and he just outright refuses, like, I don't
care about you people, I don't care that you like
the character that I played on television and became famous for.
Leave me alone, all right, fine, sorry, geez, we're just
trying to celebrate you anyway. Four eleven. A couple of
(03:24):
things here, TikTok, It's set to be banned on Sunday.
You use TikTok no I have it. I don't really
scroll through it that much. You have it on your phone, Yeah,
so that I don't know. I wouldn't even have that
app on my phone. And that's just me personally. But
there's a lot of apps like that though, there are
many apps like that now. It's the Chinese connection that
makes this a little bit weird. But I'll be honest
(03:45):
with you, Like, between you and me, I don't have
a lot of things to hide, and I'm gonna have
a lot of people that are gonna get my emails
and my DMS and stuff and be like, you dirty
person for having this app on your phone. I'll be
on with you. Just I don't have a lot of worries.
I have a lot of different passwords, I have a
lot of different you know things that I have security wise,
(04:09):
you know, cybersecurity stuff. I feel pretty confident that if
the Chinese people have anything on me, it's nothing that
Facebook doesn't have. It's nothing that Instagram doesn't have, doesn't
it's it's nothing that you know, people in Google doesn't like.
If you want to know this stuff that I'm looking
up on the Internet, and the app is just kind
of like infiltrating into other things that I'm doing on
(04:30):
my phone. Well, trust me, I know these apps are
already doing that. I open Facebook up, I don't even
have to search something. I could even just be in
a conversation and talk to somebody about it, and all
of a sudden, I'm getting an app on Facebook for
this thing.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Right.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
So it's just like, this is the world that we
live in now. Anyway, because of the Chinese connections and
because the parent company of TikTok doesn't want to sell
it's it's said to be banned this weekend, and there's
you know some you know, like Last Dance type things
pop it up of people saying, oh, here are my
favorite tiktoks of the last however many years, and all
this stuff. Right, Well, the Washington Post is reporting today
(05:03):
this afternoon, over the last thirty minutes, Matt, that there
is somebody trying to save TikTok at the eleventh hour
here before it actually gets banned. Wow. Can you guess
who it is who would benefit from saving TikTok?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Would it be? Again?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
According to the Washington Post.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
And it's probably a big big time a digital creator.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
It could be. There's plenty of those.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
You know, mister Beast, Mister Beast, Yeah, that guy, the
guy from mister Beast.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
How much that guy is like smashing up Lamborghini's in
his videos he's renting out like, I mean, that guy's
got to be bringing like he says. I watched him
do an interview I think it was with Logan Paul,
and mister Beast said, like, he doesn't really make that
much money because he puts like ninety five percent of
everything that he makes into the next video. Now again,
that still probably gives him quite a bit of overhead,
(05:53):
and he's making hundreds of thousands of dollars per video
at least. But I mean, this is the most viewede
person like influencer on social media in YouTube. You would think, like,
I don't know how much TikTok is. I mean, Elon
bought it for forty four billion dollars. Mister Beast doesn't
have that much money.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Right, right, I wouldn't think. I mean, I'm just I'm
sitting here trying to calculate my mind how I don't
understand how that works, how he could be so rich.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Well, yeah, but you and me are just a little
tool I think to have an understanding. Time named him
one of the most one hundred most influential people in
the world in twenty twenty three. He had was ranked
on the Forbes list of highest paid YouTube creator in
twenty twenty two. His current estimated net worth five hundred
million dollars. According to CNBC about this time last year,
(06:39):
he was bringing in roughly seven hundred million dollars a year.
But he said he's not rich because even though he's
bringing in seven hundred million dollars a year, like I said,
he's investing most of the money that he makes into
the next video, which is a good model if you
think about it, because it's just like elevating the next
video because of the stuff that he's buying or putting
into the video, of the efforts he puts in to
(07:00):
the production and stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Sounds like that guy could use a financial advisor. I
don't know if that's a good model. You put a
little away, well, I'm sure he's putting a little ways.
He's not losing all seven hundred million dollars that you
know what go beyond a financial advisor. Just sit him
in front of its tree. And watch a squirrel once
in a while put a nut away, you know, like
squirrel a nut away every once in a while, mister beast.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
According to Celebrity net Worth in Parade Magazine, mister Beets
is reportedly now worth roughly one billion dollars as of
January twenty twenty five. When we say that again, one billion,
did you hear that? With a b billion, mister beast,
He's gonna be ay a villain someday. He says, I
can make almost anything go viral. That's true, uh, Parade
magazine says. Multiple Reports Online says he's a billionaire, but
(07:44):
he says, I don't have any access to my bank accounts.
I have a CFO and everything, but my mom is
the one who has the only access to my master
bank account.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
So he's basically he's still living in his mom's basement.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
According to Celebrity net Worth, his monthly salary is roughly
fifty million dollars, his yearly revenues between six hundred and
seven hundred million dollars, and.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
He still eats fruit loops for supper. I don't know
about that, but I bet you he stays up too
late playing World of Warcraft too.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It's still not enough to buy TikTok. TikTok would be
worth more than the forty four billion dollars Elon paid
for for Twitter, you would think. So he couldn't buy
it even if he had a billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
And I still bet you that all of his pictures
on his online dating profile are selfies.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
He no way, He's still single, right, he could pick
basically any under to thirty year old woman in have
her have? What have her as his? What have her
has his significant other? No, it's not him trying to
save TikTok. It's a you know what? Drum roll please?
Oh okay, I'll tell you after the commercial break on
(08:48):
news radio eleven ten kfab none other than the presidents
alect Donald Trump who could step into save TikTok. Now,
the Supreme Court did pass up a chance to intervene today,
so the band continues to be imminent. And again by Dance,
the parent company, Chinese based not interested And why would
they sell now at the eleventh hour, It's like, okay, fine,
(09:10):
lose TikTok. See if I care, I have a billion
people in my country. Now, apparently there's this thing called
red note. Have you read about this. No, it's another
app Chinese based that is kind of like an offshoot
of TikTok, is kind of similar in the way that
they set up. My wife is telling me about it.
Do you guys who are joining these apps not understand
that the whole problem is that it is directly related
(09:32):
to the Chinese government. That's exactly why this is happening
in the first place. So don't get too excited, you
young whipper snappers who are jumping on red note and
deciding not to you know, like, hey, if tik Tok goes,
let's just all gather on this other app, probably pick
a non Chinese one, but anyway, the ban essentially is
(09:53):
supposed to take place on Sunday and Donald Trump, according
to the Washington Post, they have an exclusive that they
running here and you know what it says. It says
right what Trump considers an executive order hoping to save
TikTok from ban. Can you believe this? Like, how low
would he have been on your list of guys who
(10:14):
are going to be like trying to save TikTok?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Has he been kind of talking about that?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
He's like the guy who was who helped get the
situation started.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
To ban it. Yeah, and now he doesn't want to ban.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
It, right because I think now that he's won, it's
no longer a talking point to win an election. Right.
It has everything to do with hey, you know what,
Like that's fine, I'm fine.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
He's like Kramer when he was going back and forth
with the whole does he want to have the plug
pulled or not? When he if he drifts into a coma.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Well yeah, but I'm just sitting here just like I
understand what he's saying, right, because now that he's won,
you can reach a younger generation as republic as the
Republican Party if you do this right. But vivek Ramaswami,
I mean, it was a huge contentious piece, you know,
Nicky Haley talking about the terribleness of TikTok and relation
to the Chinese government. So if Donald Trump comes in
(11:03):
here and does this to save this what a I mean, like,
what do we make of that after being told how
terrible this app is because of his connection to China? Now,
maybe Donald Trump is you know, going to push like
Elon to buy it, which I don't know how smart
that is for you know, the same guy to be
like owning all of these things. But we know that
Elon is a big believer in the First Amendment, and
(11:23):
things could be worse. I don't know what he would
do to change with how TikTok operates. But if bike
Dance doesn't even want to sell it, how can somebody
buy it? I'm just saying now that it's not an
election talking point. Does the Trump administration just say, look,
I get that we think that this may be dangerous,
but for the time being, let's just kind of play
this out a little bit more, mostly because they see
it as an opportunity to reach the younger people of America,
(11:46):
and with some of these influencers that are money makers,
like the Paul Brothers who basically came out and said, yeah,
I'm supporting Donald Trump in the election. Here, how powerful
could that voice be if you're able to utilize TikTok
in a way to influence that generation and not just
ban it altogether because you're afraid of what's being you know,
what's what they're doing on there, and also how that
(12:07):
information is going back to China. Again, there's a lawsuit
from the state of Iowa, among other places, in regards
to the age requirements through TikTok and some of the
inappropriate stuff you can find there. If your you know,
twelve year old tries to jump on TikTok, you might
not like some of the stuff that they have the
ability to see. But at the same time, right, if
you are the Republican Party and you want to stay
(12:28):
electable in twenty six and twenty eight and beyond, you
got to start talking to the kids the same way
that the Dems are doing, and this is a great
way to do that. So I'm curious why the Washington
Post would have this story if it wasn't true, And
I don't know. I guess, I guess we'll learn about
this in the coming days. But again, the TikTok ban
is scheduled for this weekend. We're going to learn as
(12:49):
much as we can about what the situation is on
that because it is used by one hundred and seventy
million Americans, or at least that many accounts in America.
If you can imagine that, it's like half of America
is on this app one way or the other. Now, again,
I don't really scroll it like I scroll like YouTube
or Facebook, but or X but you know, like I
(13:10):
still have it, and I'll post videos on there and
interact with people who like my bird watching videos and
my dog videos. You know, it's fairly innocent, right, Wow,
that's how that's how I use it. But you know
what I've been told by too many people, right, well,
TikTok is this hugely dangerous thing? Okay? Well, Donald Trump
of all people says, hey, maybe we don't want to
(13:30):
ban this yet. I guess we'll see. I guess we'll see.
It's four twenty eight. Hey, we got plenty more. Donald
or Joe Biden sorry, has his farewell address tonight as
he wraps up his loan presidential term. Matt and I
are going to talk about what kind of a farewell
address would be for us and what we'd like to
say if we were leaving forever from office. We'll talk
about that coming up next, but I promise we're not
(13:52):
actually leaving forever. That's coming up on news radio eleven
Thin Kfab, Emery Sunger on news radio li Kfab And
I don't think anybody's ever been named Waneda before.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Whyanita. You know what, Hey, it's gonna happen now, think
about it. That's one heck of an influence that you've
had on somebody's life. If you just threw that name
out there and somebody listening, it's like, you know what
next kid I have?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
It's a girl, Whyanita.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I expect the call to come into this show in
a couple of weeks, letting us know the good news.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
If that happens. And trust me, we live in America.
Totally okay for you to do whatever the heck you want,
but I reserve the right to judge you.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
And that's not necessarily a bad thing. He might mean
he wants to loud praise on you. I certainly will.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah, you will, right, I'll be like, wow, So what
does she go by?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Why? So why Nitas? Did I say? Why Nita?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah? You don't go buy that full name?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Maybe just Eda? Yeah you can go Eda.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Where you're in big trouble. You're already in major trouble.
So I think we need to try again. It's a
bad name anyway. No, it's not Boisey. It's Corpus Christy again.
Corpus Christy again, second time in five hours, same station two.
Makes me wonder, I don't know how to do for
another one? Or always do get that keyword in go
to campeb dot com put the keyword pay pay in
(15:08):
pay all right, Matt, here we go Joe Biden tonight
seven pm Central Time, I believe is the scheduled start time.
Who knows if it's going to be on time or not.
But Joe Biden has this farewell address. What do you
put in a farewell address if you're the president of
the United States? And I don't know. This is a
little bit of a weird one because he would have
been up for reelection but didn't get the opportunity to
(15:31):
actually finish his campaign. So what do you expect to
hear from him tonight?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Well, I think he'll laud his own praises, for sure.
I mean that's just he'll spend some time doing what
he considers, you know, being humble.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
With any politician, you know, we are the We did
the best thing ever. We did the most of this ever,
We did the greatest part of this ever. We were
the most inclusive people ever. We got the most jobs ever.
We got us out of a worldwide pandemic. We were
able to I mean, he may, you know, take a
victory lap on this Israel Hamas thing. He squeeze that
into the speech. Take credit for that while while you're
(16:04):
at it, even though you know, anybody with the functioning
brain from outside just looking and saying, the Donald Trump
effect was very real in how this got done. But anyway,
I mean, that's that's ninety percent of it, isn't it.
It's just recapping all the great things you think that
you did, or even the stuff that wasn't great that
you did. Yeah, like like just framing it as like good.
I don't think we're gonna hear about that Afghanistan pull out.
(16:25):
I don't think we're going to hear about anything regarding
the southern border.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
You don't think he'll He'll kind of take an approach
of saying, some of the things I have done that
are great you don't even know about yet. He's wait
fifteen years you could say that, But I mean, that's
you don't even know. I mean, it's very James Cameron.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
You know. It's just like the James Cameron effect, right,
you know? Yeah, Titanic gets Best Picture, I win Best Director.
I have two words for you, Academy, and for everybody
else that said that this movie would never make any
money and you didn't trust that the process with this
two words for it.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
He did that.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
I mean, in so many words, go back and watch
the nineteen ninety eight Oscars. James Cameron really kind of
he became a big time jerk. People. If people who
didn't know James Cameron and his general attitude about things,
they were like, oh gosh, all right, guy, I get it.
Gee is you won? Your movie was great? Thanks?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Wait, what's his deal?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
He's just like, this is what you get for doubting me.
I got two words for you.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
It's not nice to do James.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah, but Biden, I would imagine you know what you're
saying insinuating him doing is like, hey, you you'll be
ruining the day that you did not put you know,
like you have taken me for granted, wait ten years
and you're going to be wishing I was president again
or something like that. It's very James Cameron, like, that's
that's what that reminded me of.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Do you think he'll be snarky? Do you think he'll
say anything alluding to the fact that you know, if
you guys wouldn't have pulled me out of the race,
this wouldn't be happening.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
No, No, because he's he's he's going to be a
team player. He's gonna, you know, talk on behalf of
the entire Democratic Party. Still, even if Jill Biden is
you know, somebody who would be like, Hey, you want
to know something. I have two words for it.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Oh really, she's gonna pull it out.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Huh. She she's the I think she. He probably felt
it too, but I think she really felt it, just like,
how could you do this to this guy? How could
you just like remove him actively from.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
This Maybe that's her role. Maybe she stands beside him
and he plays the humble, gracious and then she over
and he's.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Like and for all of you in the Democratic Party,
including George Clooney, who pushed my husband out of being,
you know, the nomination for the president this time around,
to try to get re elected, I have two words.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
For you, which are love you.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
That's not what it is.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Maybe they are best wishes.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Nope, that's definitely not it either.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Maybe it's America rules.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I don't think she'd say that either. Okay, well I'm
out of guess yeah it. So use your imagination, kids,
or go watch a Degeneration X promo from the World
Wrestling Federation Circle nineteen ninety seventy and you get it.
You'd figure it out. Eh. Hey, hey, I was raised
on that stuff. My mom very quickly realized that I
could no longer watch wrestling when I was that age,
(18:58):
thanks to degeneration X.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
You know what's funny what I had a similar situation.
I got a wrestling game for the PlayStation and they
said a bad word. You can click on each of
the wrestlers and what's that guy's name, Diamond Dallas Page. Yeah,
this was a WCW Mayhem or was it one of
those you know, like the late nineties. It would have
been WCW because I was a WCW guy.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I that's the only reason we watched WCW because my
grandma wanted to follow the Hulkgan Roddy Piper types, while
you know, the World Wrestling Federation, you know, is kind
of moving into the stone Colt, Steve Austin, generation X
the Rock kind of thing. So, yeah, we were watching WCW. Yeah,
but the DDP said a bad word. Yeah, you can
like click on the guys and then they'll say something,
(19:40):
you know what I mean. We were clicking on all
the guys. We didn't even play the game yet, and
we clicked on that guy and he said a bad word?
Would he say he said a bad word? Which one?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
It had to be, like hell, that had to be
like the only one. Well, okay, give you a little context.
Love your mom, if you're listening, you're the best. And
I approve of your decision because you were just watching
out for us kids, doing what was best for us.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
All right.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
In some households, this wouldn't have been a big deal.
But he took the lord's name in vain and that
was not okay to to to Matt's mom, and the
game had to go back. The game got sent back.
We sent the game all the way back to the store.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Were you watching WCW when you were growing up at
that point, because I was gonna say that was across
the line, but you were watching them actually talk on
live television.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Now you remember being a kid too. It's it's not
about what's across the line, it's what it's what your
parents hear, right, Yeah, Yeah, that's why I couldn't watch
the Generation X anymore. They were also I mean, like
that was they were. They were a couple of steps
across the line, even if they weren't actually using bad words.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
You know, it's the way they were talking. You know,
what's the suggestiveness of the conversations.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Well, the saying that you're mentioning is quite suggestive. Yeah,
even if it isn't necessarily a curse word. Right, Yeah,
everything within its context, I suppose.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah, so so Mo probably. You know, for seven year
old Emory, it made sense not to watch, not to
have Emory watch that. It was a little more controllable watching,
you know, the nWo. Anyway, back to what we were
talking about. I don't know how that happened.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
That's because you started saying that thing.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Oh yeah, that's right. Well, you know, this is what
I would say. You want to know what I would say.
I'm gonna sit up there and I'm gonna watch I'm
gonna watch Old Joey and I'm gonna sit there and
you know what I'm gonna think if I was doing this,
if I was leaving office, what would I say? And
you know what I would do. I would say, my
job here is done. I have a place in American
history for the rest of forever. I was elected, whether
(21:27):
you want to believe it or not, I was elected
President of the United States of America, and I served
a four year term and did the darn best as
I could. Did I make some mistake, sure, But when
was the last time you did anything perfect? You want
to know what I think about me? I think I
did a pretty darn good job, especially for a geriatric dude.
Who uh, I can't even ride a bike. There's no
way I could drive a car.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Is this his moment? You know some sometimes when the
athlete doesn't win the big game and they've been hiding
an injury.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Is this the moment, oh, where he tells everybody I
have you know, dementia, or he says I'm in bad
health or I have some sort of physical ailment. No,
I don't think he does that. But if I was there,
that's what I would say. I would do that. I
would say, you know, what do I have to lose?
I'm leaving you, schmoez are never gonna hear from me again.
As long as I'm alive, I'll show up to like
the functions. I'll be at the you know, presidential stuff
(22:17):
that I need to be at. You know, if Clinton
croaks before me, I'll be at his you know, funeral
or whatever. You know. Like, But y'all are gonna take
me for granted forever. Now, he is certainly not a
great politician. He's a great politician at getting elected. He
buddied up to Barack Obama at the perfect time in
his life, so he was able to graduate from the
(22:37):
Senate to being in the White House. But at the
end of the day, brother, you know what, I was
the President of the United States and you can't take
that away from me. And if you want to say
I'm the worst president ever, I have two words for you.
James Buchanan. Boom, what do you want from that?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Come at me, bro? You think he ends with that
one of those.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Yeah, yeah, what do you want from me? Go read
about James Buchanan? Then come back to me with that
worst president ever? Be at cash me outside?
Speaker 1 (22:59):
What's up? Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I don't know if I could lift my arms high
enough to actually fight you, but you know what, we could, like,
we could go, we could throw down. I had nothing
to lose at this point. Jill can hold my arms
and she can swing them at you. Actually, Jill's gonna
do the fighting. That's a good idea. Let's just have
her do it. She's a lot younger than me. She
knows what she's doing like, let her take care of it.
She's probably gonna marry a guy who's gonna be president
later anyway. I mean, she's got some time here.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
So you think he's gonna go full on like you know, oh,
he'll turn I mean, forget you, forget you, you're cool,
forget you, forget you?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, real mister Deed style, like like
who gets to say and who gets to go? No,
And he's not gonna do this. But if I was him,
that's what I do. You didn't want me to be
president again, Well guess what happens? You lost your big losers?
Who was right after all this time? Anyway? And you
were the schmos that had You know, I'd be like,
I didn't even want Kamala, y'all. You know, d I
(23:48):
fools that are running the Democratic Party wanted Kamala thinking
that indentity politics were gonna win me elections. Well look
where that got you, your pieces of crap. Screw all
of y'all. Wow, that's what I would have said. But
I'm not the president, And you know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna be in my underwear on my couch, cuddling
with one of my dogs, probably you know, eating cheetos
watching this, So who really is the joke in all this?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
But in that circumstance, if he did go scorch DIRF,
would you get off the couch and start, you know,
cheering along and hooting and hollering, I'd laugh, I'd probably
sit up. Yeah, I mean my blood start pumping a
little bit. But would network television like dip out of that, like, Okay,
this guy's lost. Imagine they cut away, They're like and
moving on to other pressing events here.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yes, he's like, you know what, I think we need
to stop this and we will revisit the highlights after
he's done. Seven seconds delays not enough for this guy.
We get to say score, and then we high five,
and then we put it on the scoreboard.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
And then we tell people who ask us what the
score is. We can just be like scoreboard.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Yeah, we're just like those, like the White Sox announcers.
Another one goes on the board.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yes, it's you can put it on the board. Yes,
that guy's been retired for a while now, and it's sad.
Oh it's never been the same since.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
That's about how long it's been since I watched baseball
that I remember.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
That guy, Hawk Harrelson. Yeah, yeah, he's still alive, but
he taught me a lot about baseball. You know, you
have these people that just kind of enter your life
in very weird ways, and you don't understand the influence
of the effect they have. Hawk Harrelson, the White Sox announcer.
As I was growing up watching the White Sox games,
I mean, I just loved listening to him because he
talked baseball strategy. So I learned a lot about baseball
strategy from him. But just the way that he had
(00:44):
all those little like catchphrases. I mean when I started
my baseball broadcasting career, I mean, fifty percent of what
I was saying came directly from hearing Hawk Harrelson say
it one hundred times hawk Hawk. Well, his first name's Ken,
but his nicknames Hawk Ken, the Hawk Harrelson.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
That's pretty cool nickname.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, it's because he had a big old nose. Oh really,
look like he had a beak.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Well, you know, he got a cool nickname out of
the deal, so he's probably not complaining.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yeah, he's good though. I mean a lot of people
who aren't white Sox fans think he's terrible historically because
he's such a cheerleader for his team. Nowadays, it's like
all local broadcast announcers. Isn't he supposed to be the
local broadcast announcer? I loved it. Yeah, and then they
would be doing badly. I mean you could hear it
in his voice. I mean it truly pained him that
they were playing poorly. That's the way the announcers are
(01:29):
around here. When you hear the Huskers and in the
local announcers, you know, they definitely root for the team.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
That's fine.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah I think so too. But yeah, that guy you
want to talk about, just a guy that you don't
know how much they influence you. I mean, the reason
I'm in this business in some ways because of him
and what I learned watching him and hearing him broadcast
so many games. Because my entire broadcasting career came from
me starting broadcasting baseball games when I was eighteen years old,
straight up. So there you go. Yeah, did you get
(01:56):
to meet him? No, But I will say this, you know,
you just bring him up randomly. It's interesting. I don't
know if there's a bigger influence on my entire life
than that guy when you consider where my career ended
up taking me. Wow, just because of how much what
I learned from listening to him, even when I didn't
want to be a broadcaster growing up, and how much
that influenced me early in my career that made me
eventually want to become a broadcaster. If I didn't have
(02:17):
the knowledge that I learned from him as a broadcaster
and using some of the stuff that he said to
get me going until I became good enough to have
my own stuff, who knows where I would have been.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
This is good to know, considering we're what about five
months away from your two year anniversary. Yeah, I just
forget everything I said and keep going.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
To two years doing this specific show yeah right, Yeah,
I'm just saying you never talked to the man that
it might be kind of cool to do on air. Yeah,
I don't know. He's pretty old these days, and he's
probably on a golf car somewhere every single day. I'm
sure he doesn't like to be uh pestered too much.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I give us ten minutes and it'll be a fun time,
you know, and he'll certainly get his fair share of praise. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
we'll see, we'll see. That'd be pretty sick, though hopefully
he doesn't. What's the guy from Mash Radar Oriiley? Hope
he doesn't pull a Radar O'Reilly on us? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
What the heck was that guy? About? The guy who
plays Radar O'Reilly and Mash. For decades, people of a
tumble eyewall were begging for him just to come for
mash Fest, and he just outright refuses, like, I don't
care about you people, I don't care that you like
the character that I played on television and became famous for.
Leave me alone, all right, fine, sorry, geez, we're just
trying to celebrate you anyway. Four eleven. A couple of
(03:24):
things here, TikTok, It's set to be banned on Sunday.
You use TikTok no I have it. I don't really
scroll through it that much. You have it on your phone, Yeah,
so that I don't know. I wouldn't even have that
app on my phone. And that's just me personally. But
there's a lot of apps like that though, there are
many apps like that now. It's the Chinese connection that
makes this a little bit weird. But I'll be honest
(03:45):
with you, Like, between you and me, I don't have
a lot of things to hide, and I'm gonna have
a lot of people that are gonna get my emails
and my DMS and stuff and be like, you dirty
person for having this app on your phone. I'll be
on with you. Just I don't have a lot of worries.
I have a lot of different passwords, I have a
lot of different you know things that I have security wise,
(04:09):
you know, cybersecurity stuff. I feel pretty confident that if
the Chinese people have anything on me, it's nothing that
Facebook doesn't have. It's nothing that Instagram doesn't have, doesn't
it's it's nothing that you know, people in Google doesn't like.
If you want to know this stuff that I'm looking
up on the Internet, and the app is just kind
of like infiltrating into other things that I'm doing on
(04:30):
my phone. Well, trust me, I know these apps are
already doing that. I open Facebook up, I don't even
have to search something. I could even just be in
a conversation and talk to somebody about it, and all
of a sudden, I'm getting an app on Facebook for
this thing.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Right.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
So it's just like, this is the world that we
live in now. Anyway, because of the Chinese connections and
because the parent company of TikTok doesn't want to sell
it's it's said to be banned this weekend, and there's
you know some you know, like Last Dance type things
pop it up of people saying, oh, here are my
favorite tiktoks of the last however many years, and all
this stuff. Right, Well, the Washington Post is reporting today
(05:03):
this afternoon, over the last thirty minutes, Matt, that there
is somebody trying to save TikTok at the eleventh hour
here before it actually gets banned. Wow. Can you guess
who it is who would benefit from saving TikTok?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Would it be? Again?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
According to the Washington Post.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
And it's probably a big big time a digital creator.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
It could be. There's plenty of those.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
You know, mister Beast, Mister Beast, Yeah, that guy, the
guy from mister Beast.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
How much that guy is like smashing up Lamborghini's in
his videos he's renting out like, I mean, that guy's
got to be bringing like he says. I watched him
do an interview I think it was with Logan Paul,
and mister Beast said, like, he doesn't really make that
much money because he puts like ninety five percent of
everything that he makes into the next video. Now again,
that still probably gives him quite a bit of overhead,
(05:53):
and he's making hundreds of thousands of dollars per video
at least. But I mean, this is the most viewede
person like influencer on social media in YouTube. You would think, like,
I don't know how much TikTok is. I mean, Elon
bought it for forty four billion dollars. Mister Beast doesn't
have that much money.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Right, right, I wouldn't think. I mean, I'm just I'm
sitting here trying to calculate my mind how I don't
understand how that works, how he could be so rich.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Well, yeah, but you and me are just a little
tool I think to have an understanding. Time named him
one of the most one hundred most influential people in
the world in twenty twenty three. He had was ranked
on the Forbes list of highest paid YouTube creator in
twenty twenty two. His current estimated net worth five hundred
million dollars. According to CNBC about this time last year,
(06:39):
he was bringing in roughly seven hundred million dollars a year.
But he said he's not rich because even though he's
bringing in seven hundred million dollars a year, like I said,
he's investing most of the money that he makes into
the next video, which is a good model if you
think about it, because it's just like elevating the next
video because of the stuff that he's buying or putting
into the video, of the efforts he puts in to
(07:00):
the production and stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Sounds like that guy could use a financial advisor. I
don't know if that's a good model. You put a
little away, well, I'm sure he's putting a little ways.
He's not losing all seven hundred million dollars that you
know what go beyond a financial advisor. Just sit him
in front of its tree. And watch a squirrel once
in a while put a nut away, you know, like
squirrel a nut away every once in a while, mister beast.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
According to Celebrity net Worth in Parade Magazine, mister Beets
is reportedly now worth roughly one billion dollars as of
January twenty twenty five. When we say that again, one billion,
did you hear that? With a b billion, mister beast,
He's gonna be ay a villain someday. He says, I
can make almost anything go viral. That's true, uh, Parade
magazine says. Multiple Reports Online says he's a billionaire, but
(07:44):
he says, I don't have any access to my bank accounts.
I have a CFO and everything, but my mom is
the one who has the only access to my master
bank account.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
So he's basically he's still living in his mom's basement.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
According to Celebrity net Worth, his monthly salary is roughly
fifty million dollars, his yearly revenues between six hundred and
seven hundred million dollars, and.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
He still eats fruit loops for supper. I don't know
about that, but I bet you he stays up too
late playing World of Warcraft too.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It's still not enough to buy TikTok. TikTok would be
worth more than the forty four billion dollars Elon paid
for for Twitter, you would think. So he couldn't buy
it even if he had a billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
And I still bet you that all of his pictures
on his online dating profile are selfies.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
He no way, He's still single, right, he could pick
basically any under to thirty year old woman in have
her have? What have her as his? What have her
has his significant other? No, it's not him trying to
save TikTok. It's a you know what? Drum roll please?
Oh okay, I'll tell you after the commercial break on
(08:48):
news radio eleven ten kfab none other than the presidents
alect Donald Trump who could step into save TikTok. Now,
the Supreme Court did pass up a chance to intervene today,
so the band continues to be imminent. And again by Dance,
the parent company, Chinese based not interested And why would
they sell now at the eleventh hour, It's like, okay, fine,
(09:10):
lose TikTok. See if I care, I have a billion
people in my country. Now, apparently there's this thing called
red note. Have you read about this. No, it's another
app Chinese based that is kind of like an offshoot
of TikTok, is kind of similar in the way that
they set up. My wife is telling me about it.
Do you guys who are joining these apps not understand
that the whole problem is that it is directly related
(09:32):
to the Chinese government. That's exactly why this is happening
in the first place. So don't get too excited, you
young whipper snappers who are jumping on red note and
deciding not to you know, like, hey, if tik Tok goes,
let's just all gather on this other app, probably pick
a non Chinese one, but anyway, the ban essentially is
(09:53):
supposed to take place on Sunday and Donald Trump, according
to the Washington Post, they have an exclusive that they
running here and you know what it says. It says
right what Trump considers an executive order hoping to save
TikTok from ban. Can you believe this? Like, how low
would he have been on your list of guys who
(10:14):
are going to be like trying to save TikTok?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Has he been kind of talking about that?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
He's like the guy who was who helped get the
situation started.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
To ban it. Yeah, and now he doesn't want to ban.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
It, right because I think now that he's won, it's
no longer a talking point to win an election. Right.
It has everything to do with hey, you know what,
Like that's fine, I'm fine.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
He's like Kramer when he was going back and forth
with the whole does he want to have the plug
pulled or not? When he if he drifts into a coma.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Well yeah, but I'm just sitting here just like I
understand what he's saying, right, because now that he's won,
you can reach a younger generation as republic as the
Republican Party if you do this right. But vivek Ramaswami,
I mean, it was a huge contentious piece, you know,
Nicky Haley talking about the terribleness of TikTok and relation
to the Chinese government. So if Donald Trump comes in
(11:03):
here and does this to save this what a I mean, like,
what do we make of that after being told how
terrible this app is because of his connection to China? Now,
maybe Donald Trump is you know, going to push like
Elon to buy it, which I don't know how smart
that is for you know, the same guy to be
like owning all of these things. But we know that
Elon is a big believer in the First Amendment, and
(11:23):
things could be worse. I don't know what he would
do to change with how TikTok operates. But if bike
Dance doesn't even want to sell it, how can somebody
buy it? I'm just saying now that it's not an
election talking point. Does the Trump administration just say, look,
I get that we think that this may be dangerous,
but for the time being, let's just kind of play
this out a little bit more, mostly because they see
it as an opportunity to reach the younger people of America,
(11:46):
and with some of these influencers that are money makers,
like the Paul Brothers who basically came out and said, yeah,
I'm supporting Donald Trump in the election. Here, how powerful
could that voice be if you're able to utilize TikTok
in a way to influence that generation and not just
ban it altogether because you're afraid of what's being you know,
what's what they're doing on there, and also how that
(12:07):
information is going back to China. Again, there's a lawsuit
from the state of Iowa, among other places, in regards
to the age requirements through TikTok and some of the
inappropriate stuff you can find there. If your you know,
twelve year old tries to jump on TikTok, you might
not like some of the stuff that they have the
ability to see. But at the same time, right, if
you are the Republican Party and you want to stay
(12:28):
electable in twenty six and twenty eight and beyond, you
got to start talking to the kids the same way
that the Dems are doing, and this is a great
way to do that. So I'm curious why the Washington
Post would have this story if it wasn't true, And
I don't know. I guess, I guess we'll learn about
this in the coming days. But again, the TikTok ban
is scheduled for this weekend. We're going to learn as
(12:49):
much as we can about what the situation is on
that because it is used by one hundred and seventy
million Americans, or at least that many accounts in America.
If you can imagine that, it's like half of America
is on this app one way or the other. Now, again,
I don't really scroll it like I scroll like YouTube
or Facebook, but or X but you know, like I
(13:10):
still have it, and I'll post videos on there and
interact with people who like my bird watching videos and
my dog videos. You know, it's fairly innocent, right, Wow,
that's how that's how I use it. But you know
what I've been told by too many people, right, well,
TikTok is this hugely dangerous thing? Okay? Well, Donald Trump
of all people says, hey, maybe we don't want to
(13:30):
ban this yet. I guess we'll see. I guess we'll see.
It's four twenty eight. Hey, we got plenty more. Donald
or Joe Biden sorry, has his farewell address tonight as
he wraps up his loan presidential term. Matt and I
are going to talk about what kind of a farewell
address would be for us and what we'd like to
say if we were leaving forever from office. We'll talk
about that coming up next, but I promise we're not
(13:52):
actually leaving forever. That's coming up on news radio eleven
Thin Kfab, Emery Sunger on news radio li Kfab And
I don't think anybody's ever been named Waneda before.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Whyanita. You know what, Hey, it's gonna happen now, think
about it. That's one heck of an influence that you've
had on somebody's life. If you just threw that name
out there and somebody listening, it's like, you know what
next kid I have?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
It's a girl, Whyanita.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I expect the call to come into this show in
a couple of weeks, letting us know the good news.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
If that happens. And trust me, we live in America.
Totally okay for you to do whatever the heck you want,
but I reserve the right to judge you.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
And that's not necessarily a bad thing. He might mean
he wants to loud praise on you. I certainly will.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah, you will, right, I'll be like, wow, So what
does she go by?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Why? So why Nitas? Did I say? Why Nita?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah? You don't go buy that full name?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Maybe just Eda? Yeah you can go Eda.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Where you're in big trouble. You're already in major trouble.
So I think we need to try again. It's a
bad name anyway. No, it's not Boisey. It's Corpus Christy again.
Corpus Christy again, second time in five hours, same station two.
Makes me wonder, I don't know how to do for
another one? Or always do get that keyword in go
to campeb dot com put the keyword pay pay in
(15:08):
pay all right, Matt, here we go Joe Biden tonight
seven pm Central Time, I believe is the scheduled start time.
Who knows if it's going to be on time or not.
But Joe Biden has this farewell address. What do you
put in a farewell address if you're the president of
the United States? And I don't know. This is a
little bit of a weird one because he would have
been up for reelection but didn't get the opportunity to
(15:31):
actually finish his campaign. So what do you expect to
hear from him tonight?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Well, I think he'll laud his own praises, for sure.
I mean that's just he'll spend some time doing what
he considers, you know, being humble.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
With any politician, you know, we are the We did
the best thing ever. We did the most of this ever,
We did the greatest part of this ever. We were
the most inclusive people ever. We got the most jobs ever.
We got us out of a worldwide pandemic. We were
able to I mean, he may, you know, take a
victory lap on this Israel Hamas thing. He squeeze that
into the speech. Take credit for that while while you're
(16:04):
at it, even though you know, anybody with the functioning
brain from outside just looking and saying, the Donald Trump
effect was very real in how this got done. But anyway,
I mean, that's that's ninety percent of it, isn't it.
It's just recapping all the great things you think that
you did, or even the stuff that wasn't great that
you did. Yeah, like like just framing it as like good.
I don't think we're gonna hear about that Afghanistan pull out.
(16:25):
I don't think we're going to hear about anything regarding
the southern border.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
You don't think he'll He'll kind of take an approach
of saying, some of the things I have done that
are great you don't even know about yet. He's wait
fifteen years you could say that, But I mean, that's
you don't even know. I mean, it's very James Cameron.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
You know. It's just like the James Cameron effect, right,
you know? Yeah, Titanic gets Best Picture, I win Best Director.
I have two words for you, Academy, and for everybody
else that said that this movie would never make any
money and you didn't trust that the process with this
two words for it.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
He did that.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
I mean, in so many words, go back and watch
the nineteen ninety eight Oscars. James Cameron really kind of
he became a big time jerk. People. If people who
didn't know James Cameron and his general attitude about things,
they were like, oh gosh, all right, guy, I get it.
Gee is you won? Your movie was great? Thanks?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Wait, what's his deal?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
He's just like, this is what you get for doubting me.
I got two words for you.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
It's not nice to do James.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah, but Biden, I would imagine you know what you're
saying insinuating him doing is like, hey, you you'll be
ruining the day that you did not put you know,
like you have taken me for granted, wait ten years
and you're going to be wishing I was president again
or something like that. It's very James Cameron, like, that's
that's what that reminded me of.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Do you think he'll be snarky? Do you think he'll
say anything alluding to the fact that you know, if
you guys wouldn't have pulled me out of the race,
this wouldn't be happening.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
No, No, because he's he's he's going to be a
team player. He's gonna, you know, talk on behalf of
the entire Democratic Party. Still, even if Jill Biden is
you know, somebody who would be like, Hey, you want
to know something. I have two words for it.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Oh really, she's gonna pull it out.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Huh. She she's the I think she. He probably felt
it too, but I think she really felt it, just like,
how could you do this to this guy? How could
you just like remove him actively from.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
This Maybe that's her role. Maybe she stands beside him
and he plays the humble, gracious and then she over
and he's.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Like and for all of you in the Democratic Party,
including George Clooney, who pushed my husband out of being,
you know, the nomination for the president this time around,
to try to get re elected, I have two words.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
For you, which are love you.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
That's not what it is.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Maybe they are best wishes.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Nope, that's definitely not it either.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Maybe it's America rules.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I don't think she'd say that either. Okay, well I'm
out of guess yeah it. So use your imagination, kids,
or go watch a Degeneration X promo from the World
Wrestling Federation Circle nineteen ninety seventy and you get it.
You'd figure it out. Eh. Hey, hey, I was raised
on that stuff. My mom very quickly realized that I
could no longer watch wrestling when I was that age,
(18:58):
thanks to degeneration X.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
You know what's funny what I had a similar situation.
I got a wrestling game for the PlayStation and they
said a bad word. You can click on each of
the wrestlers and what's that guy's name, Diamond Dallas Page. Yeah,
this was a WCW Mayhem or was it one of
those you know, like the late nineties. It would have
been WCW because I was a WCW guy.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I that's the only reason we watched WCW because my
grandma wanted to follow the Hulkgan Roddy Piper types, while
you know, the World Wrestling Federation, you know, is kind
of moving into the stone Colt, Steve Austin, generation X
the Rock kind of thing. So, yeah, we were watching WCW. Yeah,
but the DDP said a bad word. Yeah, you can
like click on the guys and then they'll say something,
(19:40):
you know what I mean. We were clicking on all
the guys. We didn't even play the game yet, and
we clicked on that guy and he said a bad word?
Would he say he said a bad word? Which one?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
It had to be, like hell, that had to be
like the only one. Well, okay, give you a little context.
Love your mom, if you're listening, you're the best. And
I approve of your decision because you were just watching
out for us kids, doing what was best for us.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
All right.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
In some households, this wouldn't have been a big deal.
But he took the lord's name in vain and that
was not okay to to to Matt's mom, and the
game had to go back. The game got sent back.
We sent the game all the way back to the store.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Were you watching WCW when you were growing up at
that point, because I was gonna say that was across
the line, but you were watching them actually talk on
live television.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Now you remember being a kid too. It's it's not
about what's across the line, it's what it's what your
parents hear, right, Yeah, Yeah, that's why I couldn't watch
the Generation X anymore. They were also I mean, like
that was they were. They were a couple of steps
across the line, even if they weren't actually using bad words.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
You know, it's the way they were talking. You know,
what's the suggestiveness of the conversations.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Well, the saying that you're mentioning is quite suggestive. Yeah,
even if it isn't necessarily a curse word. Right, Yeah,
everything within its context, I suppose.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah, so so Mo probably. You know, for seven year
old Emory, it made sense not to watch, not to
have Emory watch that. It was a little more controllable watching,
you know, the nWo. Anyway, back to what we were
talking about. I don't know how that happened.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
That's because you started saying that thing.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Oh yeah, that's right. Well, you know, this is what
I would say. You want to know what I would say.
I'm gonna sit up there and I'm gonna watch I'm
gonna watch Old Joey and I'm gonna sit there and
you know what I'm gonna think if I was doing this,
if I was leaving office, what would I say? And
you know what I would do. I would say, my
job here is done. I have a place in American
history for the rest of forever. I was elected, whether
(21:27):
you want to believe it or not, I was elected
President of the United States of America, and I served
a four year term and did the darn best as
I could. Did I make some mistake, sure, But when
was the last time you did anything perfect? You want
to know what I think about me? I think I
did a pretty darn good job, especially for a geriatric dude.
Who uh, I can't even ride a bike. There's no
way I could drive a car.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Is this his moment? You know some sometimes when the
athlete doesn't win the big game and they've been hiding
an injury.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Is this the moment, oh, where he tells everybody I
have you know, dementia, or he says I'm in bad
health or I have some sort of physical ailment. No,
I don't think he does that. But if I was there,
that's what I would say. I would do that. I
would say, you know, what do I have to lose?
I'm leaving you, schmoez are never gonna hear from me again.
As long as I'm alive, I'll show up to like
the functions. I'll be at the you know, presidential stuff
(22:17):
that I need to be at. You know, if Clinton
croaks before me, I'll be at his you know, funeral
or whatever. You know. Like, But y'all are gonna take
me for granted forever. Now, he is certainly not a
great politician. He's a great politician at getting elected. He
buddied up to Barack Obama at the perfect time in
his life, so he was able to graduate from the
(22:37):
Senate to being in the White House. But at the
end of the day, brother, you know what, I was
the President of the United States and you can't take
that away from me. And if you want to say
I'm the worst president ever, I have two words for you.
James Buchanan. Boom, what do you want from that?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Come at me, bro? You think he ends with that
one of those.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Yeah, yeah, what do you want from me? Go read
about James Buchanan? Then come back to me with that
worst president ever? Be at cash me outside?
Speaker 1 (22:59):
What's up? Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I don't know if I could lift my arms high
enough to actually fight you, but you know what, we could, like,
we could go, we could throw down. I had nothing
to lose at this point. Jill can hold my arms
and she can swing them at you. Actually, Jill's gonna
do the fighting. That's a good idea. Let's just have
her do it. She's a lot younger than me. She
knows what she's doing like, let her take care of it.
She's probably gonna marry a guy who's gonna be president
later anyway. I mean, she's got some time here.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
So you think he's gonna go full on like you know, oh,
he'll turn I mean, forget you, forget you, you're cool,
forget you, forget you?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, real mister Deed style, like like
who gets to say and who gets to go? No,
And he's not gonna do this. But if I was him,
that's what I do. You didn't want me to be
president again, Well guess what happens? You lost your big losers?
Who was right after all this time? Anyway? And you
were the schmos that had You know, I'd be like,
I didn't even want Kamala, y'all. You know, d I
(23:48):
fools that are running the Democratic Party wanted Kamala thinking
that indentity politics were gonna win me elections. Well look
where that got you, your pieces of crap. Screw all
of y'all. Wow, that's what I would have said. But
I'm not the president, And you know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna be in my underwear on my couch, cuddling
with one of my dogs, probably you know, eating cheetos
watching this, So who really is the joke in all this?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
But in that circumstance, if he did go scorch DIRF,
would you get off the couch and start, you know,
cheering along and hooting and hollering, I'd laugh, I'd probably
sit up. Yeah, I mean my blood start pumping a
little bit. But would network television like dip out of that, like, Okay,
this guy's lost. Imagine they cut away, They're like and
moving on to other pressing events here.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yes, he's like, you know what, I think we need
to stop this and we will revisit the highlights after
he's done. Seven seconds delays not enough for this guy.
