Speaker 1 (00:01):
You bully it, you bow it, you blew it. Have
you ever done something really stupid? Yeah? Me, neither, but
these people did, and that means it's time for you
get an f all right, it is three point fifty
and you know what.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
I saw this a few weeks ago, and I just
I held on to it, and now I want to
talk to it, talk to you about it.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Are you familiar with the doomsday clock? Heard about it?

Speaker 2 (00:33):
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists have moved the doomsday
clock to eighty nine seconds to midnight, which essentially means
that humanity is closer than it ever has been to
a catastrophe. Now, I'm not really in the fear mongering world.
I don't really like to fear monger. I like to
ask questions and I like to have discussions. And I

(00:53):
think there have been a lot of things that happened
in the world that hasn't led to the end of
the world at this point. There's been a lot of
things that were crazier than the time we're living right now,
if you can believe it. And so for this this
unit of scientists or people they call themselves the Bulletin
of the Atomic Scientists, I'm going to go ahead and
just say this real quick. Nobody cares about you. Nobody

(01:16):
really has any interest in you trying to scare us
all into something, and you want us to get like
you're trying to get our attention about something.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
You want to know what I think. I think you are.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Trying to hold on to any sort of relevancy that
you once may have had when we were in the
Cold War or the Cuban missile crisis or whatever was
going on. And the last thing I need is a
bunch of uppity high Horsey type people who call themselves
atomic scientists to tell me that, oh, we're closer to
a catastrophe in the world than we ever have before.

(01:48):
I'm gonna go ahead and call your bluff on that.
So for every single person that decided, oh, eighty nine
seconds to midnight, that's what it is. Yeah, why don't
you go get lost and take this sef with you.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
That's shown up. That's what I thought. Yeah, you got
one for me today. I guy one, all right, fire away.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
I think it's a pretty good one too, okay, which
got a couple of gentlemen down in Colorado came up
with a unique way to get their friends inside the
state pen.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
The drugs they wanted. Oh how did they do that?

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Don't do drugs, kids, These two gentlemen in Colorado from
from Greeley, Colorado, shout out Greeley. They had somebodies on
the inside who wanted some tobacco. That's not drugs, it's not,
but you can't have it on the inside. Yeah, but
that's not a drug. It is though it's just legal.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
No, it's not.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
It is nicotine. Okay, I take tobaccy it's got nicotine.
How did they get how did they get it in there?
Tobacco and meth? Okay, meth is a drug. That's a
very bad one. Yeah, it's kind of like zero to one.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Hunters there.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Probably have led with that. But anyway, go ahead. They
used a cannon, a what they wheeled a cannon up
to the side of the state pen, loaded it for bear,
and sent the drugs on inside.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Okay, So how'd that happen? Did it work?

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Well? I guess we're hearing about it. So they didn't
get away scott free. Okay, But but honestly, like what
did they think was gonna happen? They were just gonna
fire this stuff in and no one would notice except
the guy that needed to notice.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Like, wait, is that is that a cannon?

Speaker 3 (03:33):
What are they putting in the cannon?

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Oh, they're shooting something into the prison with a cannon.
But nobody was going to see that.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
So what ends up happening, Well, the UF Sheriff's Office
is releasing the statement about it, so I assume and
they and then both of the two guys have names
who they've been found and are facing charges of attempting
to introduce contraband into a penal institution and attempting to
distribute methmphetamine. That's not going Yeah, so it was. It
was one hundred and twelve thousand dollars worth of tobacco

(04:01):
and eighty nine five hundred dollars worth of meth. There
was more value in the tobacco than there was the meth. Right,
that's a lot of tobacco.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
It sure is all right, We'll go ahead and do
the honors because I think a couple of guys are
deserving of this.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, you know what it is though, and I'm gonna
mix it up a little bit. Now they get the F.
Those two get the F There's no doubt about it.
But you haven't given them the F yet, which means
there's a caveat to this. My caveat is a for creativity,
F for execution, and whatever the word would be for
the like, find something better to shoot into the prison,

(04:36):
like maybe shoot a book that's like a self help
book or something, you know, like you could have used
the cannon in a cooler way. That's all I'm trying
to say. More cannons, not less. I just don't like
this representation of cannons. And for people out there who
love a good cannon and hate to see it use
this way, I'm with you, because we don't need any
more bad publicity for cannons out there. I say, good

(04:58):
pub for cannons. I mean, I'm happy to be their
publicist today. We need more. We need cannons doing more
good workout in society, shooting cannonballs into chubby guy's bellies
and all whatnot. You know, So cannons, I just want
to say cannons one more time. Cannons.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
All right, that's not how that's not how you say
when you do the buzzer.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Those two guys who are going to jail now because
they did some weird stuff, they get an after job. Dude, cannons.
Cannons back at no Old York, Nebraska. When they score
a touchdown, you know what they do, Fire a cannon,
Fire a cannon. I don't need cannon, man. You can

(05:36):
hear that thing from like uh okay wow.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
And you know what, can somebody explain to me like
this is the same thing with fireworks. It's just like,
what's the point, Like, oh, sweet loud bang, we swort
a touchdown. Congratulations. Now all town knows that's great congratulations.
If you're not ready for it, it's going to scare
the pants off yet, That's what I'm saying. So you
know what I think. I think maybe we need more trebbish.

(06:01):
Those things did that. They're not necessarily quite as efficient
as cannons, but they're a lot quieter. They can still
be incredibly effective at launching things, and they just look
immensely cooler.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
I mean, let's bring back medieval times. Let's get a trebuche.
More trebouches in the world. How about that. I can
get behind that. There we go. More on the Way
