Episode Transcript

(00:02):
Good, good morning everybody, HappyNew year to all of you. Happy
twenty twenty four, ladies and gentlemen. Great to be back with you.
Jamie Allman here and yes he's runningfor governor. Senator Bill Eigel is over
there. Bill Eigel, first ofall, Happy new year to you,
my friend. How you doing,Happy new year, Jamie, Just trying

(00:25):
to stay warm in the first andthe second day of twenty twenty four.
A great day though. I knowMan, and I know you're hitting the
tracks and making your way all aroundthe state. How's the campaign going so
far? Fantastic. We had ajust wrapped up an incredibly successful twenty twenty
three. We had almost forty thousandpeople sign up on our website to be

(00:46):
a part of our state wide effortto become the next governor of the state.
We've moved into second place and thepolling ahead of the lieutenant governor who
has whose message of being the establishmentchampion just has not resonated that so,
of course I'm talking about Lieutenant GovernorMike Keho. And of course we have
people are putting not just time andenergy, but are donating to the campaign.

(01:07):
We raised more than two and ahalf million dollars last year. So
we're very excited. We're firing onall cylinders. We're the only campaign that
has any momentum. And really it'sbecause folks are looking for a reckoning in
Jefferson City. It's going to bea great twenty twenty four. Where is
Mike Keijo? And I shouldn't beasking you this. I mean, I'm

(01:27):
not kidding you. I mean Iknow that a lot there's people who like
him and support him, but Idon't know where he is. Well,
well, he's not out talking toRepublican voters. I can tell you that.
You know, I've put over fiftythousand miles on my truck driving all
over this state, meeting actual Republicanvoters, finding out just how frustrated and
angry they are with these Republican supermajoritiesthat quite frankly don't get anything done down

(01:49):
there in Jefferson City, which causesus to fall behind. And every time
I've visited, of all the placesthat I have visited, all the events
I've been to, all the gatheringsof Republicans I've attended spoken to, I
only saw Mike Keho at one eventlast year. One in the entire year.
So Mike Keyo is he stays wrappedup in his Jefferson City bubble,

(02:13):
and it's you know, it's there'sthis old saying, Jay Jimmy, when
when your opponents are making mistakes,don't interfere. So, you know,
I think that I think that Ithink that Mike Keho understands that his message
that we're going to keep things thesame in Jefferson City, that we're gonna
keep on the same path that we'reon in the state of Missouri, which
is one of stagnation, one offalling behind all the other big red states

(02:37):
like Texas and Tennessee and Florida thatare doing a heck of a lot better
than we are. I know thatI think he knows that that doesn't resonate
with the people of this state.You know, he's a he's a special
interest guy, and you know,folks just aren't interested in it. So
you know, maybe it makes strategicsense for him to stay away from the
people that are going to make adecision in this upcoming primary. Yeah,
it was one thing to see GovernorParson hanging out with the corrupt energy secretary

(03:01):
promoting this ev scam, and nowanother thing to have this executive order on
foreign land ownership of Missouri farmland,and that's something you're on top of.
Explain what happened. Well, so, yeah, this is another And by
the way, people are gonna askme, what thing do have I done

(03:23):
in the past four years that Iregret the most? And you know,
it's becoming more and more clear thatsupporting Mike Parson for reelection and seeing where
he has tried to take the stateis going to be right up there near
the top of my list. Well, apparently at noon today he's going to
put out an executive order having todo with the foreign purchase of land in

(03:43):
the state of Missouri by foreign entities, whether it's China or otherwise. And
honestly, on one part, onone hand, I'm glad that he's finally
weighing in. We've been talking aboutthis issue for year years and how we
don't want foreign entities to be buyingup the farmland in this state. Well,
finally Mike Keho is going to makean executive order today. Of course,
I called on him to have aspecial session on this topic back in
the summer so that we could makeit illegal for China or any other foreign

(04:06):
country to buy our land in thisstate, and of course he did nothing.
So now here we are at thenew year, he's going to come
out with an executive order. Thiscomes on the heels of after in twenty
thirteen, he and Mike Keho actuallyvoted to let foreign countries buy up to
one percent of our farmland in thefirst place. That's about two hundred and
seventy thousand acres, which is acounty nearly the size of Saint Charles County.

(04:29):
So it's because of Mike Parson andMike Keho that foreign countries are buying
land in Missouri in the first place. I'm very curious what he's going to
say in the form of an executiveorder today, but I can tell you
nobody from his office has reached outto my office to reach out to me
to say, hey, we wantto get behind your constitutional amendment, Senator
Agel that's going to actually stop theforeign purchase of land and is going to

(04:50):
get the land that we've lost toChina and other countries back. So I'm
not holding my breath that we're goingto see something real exciting for Mike Parson
because Mike Parson and Mike Keeho arethe source of this problem. We've been
taken to calling Mike Keyho Kung PoleKeyho because he's the guy that facilitated China
buying our land in the first place. So, uh, Senator II,

(05:12):
let me ask you something. Theexecutive order seems like it's something that is
like a piece of cake. Youknow, it's like it tastes good,
but it's really not permanent in anyway, shape or form. It's clearly
not as permanent as legislation would be. I mean, because an executive order
can be rescinded automatically with the nextadministration or whoever exactly know what the you

(05:36):
know what this really is, Jamie. This is a This is an in
kind donation from Mike Parson's government officeto the Mike Keho campaign for governor.
That's what this is. This isan in kind donation. All he's trying
to do is trying to give MikeKeeho political cover to hide up the fact
that Mike Keho voted to allow Chinato buy our land back in two thirteen,

(05:58):
that Mike Parson also votes to allowChina to buy our land back in
twenty thirteen, and now they're lookingto try to make a statement of some
such that's going to hide the factthat they're the ones that caused this problem
in the first place. They're theones that have done nothing for the intervening
years. Will foreign entities have actuallybought up our ground. And I tell
you what, I just hope thatthis is reported on the Missouri Ethics Commission

(06:21):
website as a political donation and apolitical stunt, not actual policy that the
governor believes in. Yeah, well, in the end, I mean,
I do remember back in the day, you remember the whole China Hub day.
You know, there were some peopleit was before you came to Jefferson
City, and there were some peoplewho were kind of making this claim that

(06:41):
we needed to create this trade lanewith China. They buy our soybeans and
we blah blah blah blah. Butthat turned into something clearly well beyond the
scope of some kind of trade partnership. It wound up being actually the purchasing
of this lane, which I don'tthink most of most of most Missourians thought

(07:04):
about that when they were being soldthis China Hub line. Yes, and
so and a lot of if youlook back at what actually happened again,
this was around in twenty thirteen,so it was a few years before I
got into office. But in twentythirteen, there was a move in the
part of the state legislature to actuallyprior actually, let me go back a

(07:25):
little bit further. Prior to twentythirteen, it was illegal for any foreign
entity to buy farmland in the stateof Missouri, And in twenty thirteen,
the legislature passed the law that wasvoted on by Mike Parson and Mike Keho
that changed the limit on how muchland could be bought by foreign npties from
zero percent where it was totally illegal, to one percent. So that means

(07:46):
that up to two hundred and seventythousand acres could be bought by foreign entities,
including China from that moment forward,thanks to the votes of Mike Parson
and Mike Keiho, who were servingin the state Senate at the time.
So that facilityated, that actually facilitateddirectly facilitated. A couple months later,
Smithfield Foods up in Northwest Missouri,which is one of our largest food producers

(08:07):
in the state of Missouri, wassold to Chinese National Interest, and that
actually transferred more than forty four thousandacres of Missouri farmland to Chinese control.
So this is when people suddenly realize, WHOA, this is a terrible deal.
We started raising the alarm bells inthe intervening years that said, hey,
let's cut this off. We can'thave foreign countries, whether it's China

(08:31):
or otherwise, coming into our stateand taking control of our food supply.
And as folks that certain folks likemyself have been out there raising the alarm
bell saying hey, we need topass legislation that'll put a stop to this
practice, that'll get the land backthat we've lost. Our statewide leaders,
including Mike Kee and Mike Parson,have done absolutely nothing. And this has
gone on year after year. Everycall to have a special session has been

(08:52):
ignored. And now today, imaginethat today, at the start of the
twenty twenty four campaign cycle, MikeParson wants to come out and give an
executive order to provide political cover toMike Keho and his political campaign. So
this is the This is like thepolitics as usual of Jefferson City. This
is why people hate politics right becausethese politicians who are part of the swamp

(09:16):
do nothing for years and then allof a sudden when campaign season starts,
they find religion on trying to dothe things that they think that people want
them to do well that. Idon't think that the people in twenty twenty
four are gonna are gonna buy that. I think the people of this state
in twenty twenty four are looking fora reckoning for the Mike Parsons and the
Mike Keyhos of this of this state, and we're gonna choose a direction that

(09:39):
we're gonna be a leader in thiscountry instead of just pandering to the special
interest class of our state capitol downin Jefferson City. And why wouldn't Governor
Parson decide He's I mean, we'regonna start a new session soon, So
why wouldn't Why wouldn't Governor Parson decidethis is gonna be a time where the
governor actually does take some leader shipon an issue and move some legislative action

(10:05):
forward that would be more permanent andhave more teeth. I'm not quite sure
why he would decide to do thatwhen we have a session starting on the
sixteenth or whatever it is, Actuallyit's Wednesday, it's starting this Wednesday.
Yeah, it started to show itstarts tomorrow and what's great. But you're
absolutely right, Jamie, if hewas serious, then he would come out

(10:26):
and say, you know what,we need to stop the purchase of foreign
land in this state. In fact, my good friend Bill Eigel has a
bill in a constitutional amendment that woulddo just that, and I'm putting all
the power of my office getting behindthat good idea, and I'm endorsing that
idea as we move into twenty twentyfour. But of course he's not going

(10:46):
to do that because he wants hewants my Keyho to become the governor.
So he's going to play politics byissuing an executive order, which almost certainly
isn't going to change anything. Infact, like you said, Jamie,
it can't change anything because he can'tmake law from the executive branch. So
this is just this is a politicalcontribution to the Mike Keyho campaign, trying

(11:07):
to hide the fact that Mike Keihowas one of the architects of this problem
in the first place. And they'redoing this now because they understand how politically
vulnerable they are as a result ofMike Keyho's bad decisions when he was in
the state Senate and so so reallyin the end and we're getting someplace here,
because in the end, then thisis a direct end around of you.

(11:31):
This is this is purposely done sothat you don't have any legs starting
this legislative session on this China thing. He's gonna he's basically, you know
what, blocking you in this legislativeeffort. That's what this is. Well,
this is I tell you, thatis his intent. That is for
sure his intent. Uh. Andso he's gonna try to make it seem

(11:54):
like because he's got this executive orderout there, that we don't need to
take legislative action. But here's thething, they once again are underestimating what's
important to the people of this state. Mike Parson coming out and signing a
meaningless piece of paper is not goingto take away the desire for change and
the people of this state. It'snot going to cause people to say,

(12:15):
oh, Okay, there's this signedpiece of paper somewhere that doesn't do anything.
So we're satisfied with that level ofprotection of our farmland and our property
rights in the state. And he'sgoing to find that his efforts to maneuver
exclusively on behalf of a politically motivated. Mike Keiho is not going to convince
the people of this state and themotivation from the public to do these big

(12:37):
red ideas like they're doing in Arkansas, by the way, like they're doing
in other states, like we starteda national conversation to protect our farmland from
foreign entities, whether it's China orotherwise, is going to be the driving
force as we head into this session, not some piece of paper that Mike
Parson signs as an executive order.So I think he's going to be surprised

(12:58):
in a negative way because he doesn'treally believe in this issue in the first
place. And that's okay, becausetwenty twenty four is all about a reckoning
coming to the swamp in Jefferson City, and it looks like it's just going
to start on the footsteps of MikeParson. Yeah, and I'm not an
afficionado an authority about the Missouri Constitution, but if I'm not mistaken, if

(13:20):
it's anything like the US Constitution,the only people that really can clearly regulate
commerce would be the legislative brands.Correct, Yeah, that's absolutely absolutely That's
why I have filed legislation, bothstate statutes and a constitutional amendment, And
let's keep in mind the things thatwhat I want to accomplish is twofold.

(13:43):
Yes, we want to stop thesale of our land to any foreign entities,
and really that's becoming the low hangingfruit, is to stop the sale.
What I really want to focus onis not only do we want to
stop the sale of further land toforeign entities, I want to get the
land back that we've already lost.So those forty four thousand acres of land
that China took over when they boughtSmithfield Foods in twenty thirteen, I want

(14:05):
them to restore ownership of that landto American interest in the first place.
That's what my constitutional amendment does.It not only stops the sale of future
land, it gets back the landthat we've already lost. So whether it's
China, whether it's the World EconomicForum, whether it's any other foreign country
that wants to control our farmland,it's not gonna happen. And if they've

(14:26):
already taken some of it, they'vegot to give it back. That's what
we call leadership on this issue.I just wish and yet, even though
that's where I've been for two yearson this subject. I haven't one time
gotten a phone call from Mike Parsonto indicate that he's even remotely interested in
getting something accomplished on this issue.That's why the swamp is going to lose

(14:48):
in twenty twenty four. That's whythe reckoning is going to show up on
my key host doorstep. And he'snot prepared for it. Golly, And
to your point earlier, Senator BillAigel, really he does kind of turn
people away from politics, especially whenyou just know something is so brazenly political
and it's a gratuitous maneuvering job andyou're like, well, I mean,

(15:11):
you know, thanks for doing that, but we know why you're doing it,
and so it doesn't feel good,you know, it's just well,
well I'll tell you, you know. And that's what my keyho has been
all about. You know, Here'sa guy, Mike Kejo is a guy
that has been a used car salesmanfor the past thirty five years, and
right now he's tried to he's goingaround the state trying to tell every rural

(15:33):
farmer in this state that he's actuallya first generation cattle farmer when he's been
selling cars for twenty five years.Mike Keyho lives at a forty five hundred
square foot McMansion and suburbia Jefferson City, and the fact that he's actually trying
to tell folks that he's actually afarmer is the most political thing that I've
heard in my entire political career.So it tells me that nobody's gonna buy

(15:56):
that, and nobody's gonna take theseinsults that Mike Keyho is l at their
feet anymore than they're going to takethe insult that he's somehow going to be
a leader on defending our farmland fromforeid investors like China and anybody else.
They're just not going to go forthat. The electorate is angry. They're
looking for actual change in our leadershipin Jefferson City. Mike Keiho is not
it, and there's nothing Mike Parsoncan do about that. You know,

(16:18):
one quick thing before you go.I don't know whether this is all connected,
but I keep thinking about the peopleof Silex and the other community that
basically had the entirety of their economyripped out from underneath them when those chicken
plants closed. Yeah, and I'mtrying to figure out I don't know what

(16:41):
was connected to. And I can'tremember what the reason everything else was,
but ultimately, you know, it'sa consolidation or something. The feed I
don't know, but something tells methat if we could get back control of
all of our farmland and that wehad, you know, American Missouri and
control of it, maybe we'd havebetter results in keeping certain companies here or

(17:04):
whatever. I don't know whether it'sconnected, but something kind of in my
pit of my stomach, says man, I wonder if this is connected.
Yeah, you know, and Noel, Missouri too, then yeah, where
they they had, you know,more than half of the population of those
towns were working for the Tyson chickenplant. And you know, all the
government that Mike Parson and Mike Keehohave grown and spent money on in the

(17:26):
intervening seven years, because they've growngovernment more in the seven years they've been
in charge than all the Democratic governorsgoing back to the founding of the state
combined. But all that government thatthey've put into place didn't save those two
towns. They didn't do a darnthing. And if they would have been
focused on actual Republican principles like reducingthe tax burden, like getting more limited

(17:48):
government like we've seen in Tennessee andTexas and Florida. Maybe Missouri would have
been attractive enough and motivational enough forthose entities to stay operating in our state
instead of close in those doors.So I really think that those are being
laid at the feet of those guys. And if we continue to pick Republicans
that love big government like Mike Keehoand Mike Parson, then we're gonna continue

(18:10):
to stagnate, and unfortunately, we'regoing to continue to see these these failures
occur across the state of Missouri.All right, Senator Bill Eagel, Happy

How you doing, I'm doing great, Jammy. This want to thank you

(24:26):
for your advice for the Nativity scene. I was likely enough to get it
on eBay. One too, toobad. They actually got another one.
I got two daughters and my onedaughters in Connecticut, but I had my
other daughter listen to it. Sheabsolutely loved it. So I'm figuring I'm
gong gone, and they have kids, I'm gonna get one for each one
of them. Because what a greatstory. And that is John John's talking

(24:47):
about the Jemmy uh Nativity scene.It is absolutely one of my prized holiday
possessions. How much did you payfor it on eBay? I believe it
or not? Only thirty two bucks? Thirty two dollars. Yeah, well
I didn't think it was that badactually, and no, I mean there's
another one. Yeah, it wasreasonable. I was sure you took that.

(25:07):
Sorry, but there's another one forthirty six bucks. Doing difference there.
One of the wise men's a littleloose. Shoot, I can,
I can go it down. Butmy daughter was impressed with the lighting and
the music. Oh yeah, thingit's a symphony. I mean I bought
mine originally for like nine bucks atWalgreens. Uh, but it was yeah,
yeah, it's a symphony. Butand and by the way, you

(25:30):
don't want to lose wise man,that's for sure. Yeah, no doubt
about it. But yes, no, thanks again for device. I'm so
happy you're back. Really missed whileyou're gone. But I'm glad you got
some time off as hard as youwork. Yeah, thanks, Boddy,
I appreciate it. Thank you somuch. Man. I love you brother,
all right, love you too.That's said John calling. And he
bought the the Jemmy Nativity scene.So during the break, I found also

(25:53):
my billy bass. The same companythat makes billy bass, you know,
the talking fish is it makes theNativity scene. It's it's identified by that
little red button, you know.So I brought the billy bass up,
put the uh, put the batteriesin it, and showed the girls.

(26:15):
And it's just really getting a littleharder and harder to amuse them as they
get older and son. And theproblem too, is that the billy bass
doesn't like turn its head anymore.So it used to be like it used
to be able to, like wewould turn its head and look at you
and start talking. It'll only staysa certain way. And Lily was slightly

(26:38):
amused, and Natalie would have nothingto do with it and wasn't even remotely
impressed. But I am, andI'm still very excited. And the billy
bass is sitting right next to theNativity scene. Maybe I should take a
picture of it for you, becausethey're both sitting there, going, hey,
we're from the same company. Idon't have any loose wise men however

(26:59):
the way, but I wouldn't buyit. If the wise man is loose,
you can plastic, you could glueit whatever. But maybe that's it
all right. So, speaking ofamusing, So you guys know how much
I can't stand Green Day. GreenDay hates America. They always hated America
and any band that has American idiot, especially when you're an insufferable brit I

(27:23):
mean, how dare you? Imean, who's the idiot? The one
who taxed our tea and quartered thetroops in our houses and then forgot to
take away our guns. To me, that's pretty idiotic of you Brits.

(27:47):
So for all your crumpets and rottingteeth, I don't think you guys have
a whole lot of room to talk. So green Day decides, you know
they're gonna change a lyric in Americanidiot, uh to, I'm not part
of the mega agenda used to be. I'm not part of the redneck agenda
whatever. I'm not part of themaga agenda. Now keep in mind,

(28:11):
this is green Day on Dick Clark'sNew Year's Rock and Eve right with Ryan
Seacrest, and I think Green Dayis thinking, hey, we're gonna be
edgy and cool by changing the lyricsof this song. I'm on a part

(28:34):
of a magagin Dude, You're partof something if I think it's cool or
to be part of the mega agenda, that is to be like a forty
five year old British has been onDick Clark's New Year's Rock and Eve.

(28:55):
I mean, it's funny these guysthink they're like, they're so cool by
throwing Trump under the bus and thewhole MAGA thing under the bus. I
think they're so cool. But inthe end, the reality is it's pretty
uncool really to position yourself as beingcool when you're on Dick Clark's New Year's

(29:21):
Rock and Eve. It's like,dudes, you already sold out. And
not that I'm offended by anybody onNew Year's Rock and Eve, but you
sold out, and now you're tryingto claim somehow that you're cool while you're
on Dick Clark's New Year's Rock andEve. I mean, it's unbelievable.

(29:44):
Meanwhile, over in merri A Lago, we have the Vanilla Ice showing up,
and Vanilla Ice is cool. Andthe reason why it's cool is because
because vanilla ice would be considered tobe uncool. But seemingly every time Donald

(30:06):
Trump touches something, it becomes alittle bit cooler than green days. You
know what I'm saying, I don'tknow what's better. What's better that,
or or or some British turnball throwingDonald Trump under the bus. Yeah,

(30:38):
you are part of the mega agenda. You just don't know it yet.
That's all. You're playing right intoour hands. It's like this guy trying
to make a political statement while beingwell while selling himself to Dick Clark's New
Year's Rock and Eves gonna be thelaugh so far of the of the week.

(30:59):
All right, I want to getsomething disturbing that has you look at
these interviews with the former NIH guysabout COVID and the COVID lockdowns. And
this guy was Fauci's boss, andhis name is Francis Collins, and he's

(31:22):
the former National Institute of Health director. And basically this is an interview that
is old, but it's been recentlyunearthed. And you're hearing this guy and
you're thinking, oh, my goodness. You remember when Donald Trump said explicitly,
hey, the damage in reaction toCOVID should not be worse than the

(31:49):
COVID itself. I'll never forget that. It's kind of a President Trump has
this way of saying things ultimately thatbecomes uh so pretient, and you're like,
man, I remember we said that, Like, for instance, remember
he said, Hey, this mailin voting thing seems to be kind of

(32:14):
corrupt, don't you think? Andthen nobody paid attention to it afterwards.
It was that that was around thesame time they distracted us with the story
about how he was going after thepost office. Remember that. But he's
like, hey, I know,I think it seems like this male in
voting thing is like really easily corruptible. Like oh no, no, it's

(32:34):
not a big you have to doit because of COVID. Then of course
you also remember, hey, uh, our reaction to COVID shouldn't be worse
than the actual COVID itself. Doyou think, oh, shut up,
Donald, You're just like, you'rejust you know, hey, we should
go back to church for Easter.No, that right after after he said

(32:58):
we should go back to church forEaster, they all came up to two
million people are going to die overthe summer. Remember that crazy? Anyway,
this Francis Collins basically says, youknow, we weren't thinking we the
lockdowns, there were a mistakes.Well, you taught me some really important
things about how this kind of conversationplayed out in the real world. As

(33:22):
a guy living inside the Beltway,feeling a sense of crisis, trying to
decide what to do in some situationroom in the White House with people who
had data that was incomplete, weweren't really thinking about what that would mean
to wilk and his family in Minnesota, a thousand miles away from where the
virus was hitting so hard. Weweren't really considering the consequences in communities that

(33:45):
were not New York City, GreatThanks for Nothing, or some other big
city. The public health people.We talked about this earlier, and this
really important point. If you're apublic health person and you're trying to make
decision, you have this very narrowview of what the right decision is,

(34:06):
and that is something that will savea life, doesn't matter what else happens.
So you attach infinite value to stoppingthe disease and saving a life.
You attach a zero value to whetherthis actually totally disrupts people's lives, ruins
the economy, and has many kidskept out of school in a way that
they never quite require for collateral.Yeah, that's that's doctor Fauci's boss or

(34:37):
former boss. So much for nothing, right, three one, four,
five, five sixty sixty one ohfour. Happy New Year, everybody,
it's concentrating. Saint Louis has anew home for real talk. Good good

(35:00):
morning everybody in Happy Happy New Yearto all of you and yours. It's
home in the morning. It's commonsense radio. And Tammy on the Facebook
page informs me the Green Days actuallyfrom California. Well, then they have
no excuse at all. Then Ithought, almost instantly, how can any
American actually hate America that much?And so I defaulted to the position that

(35:27):
they must be British, which whenyou somehow are easily mistaken for a brit
you're really doing something wrong. Ithink Steve Church good looking this spotting how
are you man? A little chipper? You know when you get kicked in

(35:50):
the gut and you're like and thenyou have this self loathing feel bad for
myself, and then something just kindof kicks in and then you kind of
have this full of piss and vinegarattitude. Well that's where I'm at for
the new year. Wow, whata week. Huh? Yes, isn't
it great? You know Green Day? They would actually play at their school
in Orange County during lunch. Isthere from Orange County? Orange County used

(36:17):
to Orange County used to be likeone of the most republican places on the
planet. That's where Nixon's from.I think, yes, Orange County is
still pretty republican, even down toSan Diego. Yep, yep, absolutely.
You remember Scarborough would Joe Scarborough heclaimed he wrote that song and he

(36:40):
played it on the air and itwas it just sounded like a loathing,
awful dreen Day song. Ironically,monkey House, Welcome to the Monkey House,
We Come to the Monk. Yeah, called it a monkey the Monkey
House. Oh did you see?I remember that? You can hardly find
it, you know, anywhere onthe web. I tried to look forward

(37:04):
for a while there it's been scrubbed. But but probably because the copyright issues
copyright infringement of Green Day. Ohokay, because I remember the band members
that he was performing it, Ithink on Colbert's show, and I remember
the band members were obviously so embarrassed. It was like it was like such
a it was like here, thisis this is it? Listen to this

(37:27):
real quickly? Did Elvis Presley onthe Beatles performing their new single monkey House,
Monkey House, Ladies, gentlemen.Scarborough looks that crowd now, all

(37:52):
the all his fellow bandmates are likefaking like they're into it, and they're
so pleaded. It's like their soulshave been stripped away from them. And
there where they are with Joe Scarboroughon the on the air Welcome to the
Monkey Yah yas from the producers ofTake the Jab. There's two black women

(38:19):
behind them. Oh lordie. Yeah, it's like why did I know?
I know? The reminders terrible.It's like they're like doing They're like behind
him thinking Joe Biden was right.We are back in shackles. We're singing
for Joe Scarborough. Oh lordie.Oh anyway, what was the good What

(38:46):
was the good news that put thechip in your step? No, it
really was no good news. AlthoughMaszoo, I will say I was ready
to fire drinkquets at the K Stategame. Even thicker kicker me this making
the kick, I was still like, get rid of this guy. You
call a time out and you havea delay a game, you put your

(39:07):
kicker back ten yards to make asixty one yard field goal that, in
all odds would never have I wasready to fire him. Then. I
was never a fan, but youknow, I'm I was wrong. Look
at us, We'll probably we couldbe in the top six at the end
of this thing. So oh yeah, yeah, well you know that's true.

(39:29):
It was an amazing game. ApparentlyDrinkowitz gave like an amazing speech to
these guys. Yeah before the game. Right, he is a motivator,
he's a great recruiter, and I'llgive him that. And evidently that the
ball was given to the offensive coordinatorafter the K State game on the clock

(39:51):
management and calling the shots, andthat's when things started really clicking. So
yeah, go maszoo right on.So, but you sent me something over
the during the week, I guesswas supposed to make me happy. I'm
not really particularly, I don't reallyI'm not you know, searching around for
approval from chicks. But you know, well, what's the deal. According

(40:19):
there's a study, I guess,and they said that iPhone users are better
looking and are more tractable than Androidusers. Oh, according to the New
York Post. Yeah, well I'msure about that story. That couldn't have
come from iPhone users. I knowthat because usually the Android users are the

(40:39):
ones who brag about things, soespecially they're androids, so that that must
have not come from an Android userthat poll. No way. No.
In fact, they'll deny it.They'll deny that story even exists and just
give you an uptick uses to whythey are the way they are. Yeah

(41:02):
yeah, man, So what whatwhat? What basis would like that like
somebody with an iPhone be more attractivethan somebody with an Android? Like what
is it based on? Like?Who did this poll? I think like
an eighteen year old girl. Ohbut but I mean what what would be

(41:22):
the reasons why somebody who has aniPhone could be more attractive to a woman
or a girl, I guess thansomebody with an android. I really don't
understand that. I really didn't understandit either, but I found it amusing
and it clicked something in my headand I said, oh, I'm gonna
send this to Jamie Allmon. Yeah, because of Android Ku loving users.

(41:49):
So yeah, this iPhone. Youknow, sometimes you just don't need an
answer. You just accept it.You just accept the fact it is what
it is. Why go against thegrain? Why why make communication more difficult?
Well, but it's probably because thewomen, uh probably find the guys
who with the androids less attractive becausethe guys with androids are always showing them

(42:13):
their android. You know, lookat my phone. Is an android works
much better than I phone? Becausethat's not very attractive. Bragging is not
very attractive to women. I knowthat. So, uh maybe maybe that's
maybe that's the problem, is thatis not attractive either. I think it
goes with the whole android thing.Oh really, you're going down that route?

(42:34):
Huh? So what are you womendon't like? What is it?
Uh? Oh? You know Iremember that there was a band in college.
Uh, and one of the greatsongs was called chicks only go out
with jerks. Don't try to bea nice guy. It never works.
M that's interesting. Well, Imean it seems to be along the lines

(42:54):
of the of your thinking. It'snot my thinking, but yeah, it's
what It's what I've been told.But yeah, I don't particularly dig it.
Like the whole women bad boy thing. I don't know, it depends,
you know, it's kind of maybeI'm too old for this crap.

(43:15):
I'm fifty three. Yeah, Iknow. You know, bad boys tended
to catch us up on you alittle bit, you know, when you're
credit score and all that kind ofstuff. Aren't up the snuff, you
know, exactly, So yeah,exactly, those are only so much bad
boy women really want, that's true, Yeah, because you can't fix them.
