Speaker 1 (00:00):
But first we were talking about Luigi Mangioni and why
he's got a fan club, and I am under the
impression that it's because he's an attractive twenty six year
old Italian guy who dresses up. Well, that's my thoughts.
And people don't have a lot of sympathy for the
healthcare industry. Well, we are talking about a few different things. Four, two, five, five, eight, eleven, ten, Dan,
(00:20):
you got something angle wise with this.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
You know, you're kind of onto something because like take
Milana Banakrub for example, and if she were like say,
a serial puppy killer or something like that, it'd be like, yeah,
that's kind of quirky and stuff. But I dang, look
at her. Give a girl a pass. It's fine.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Just well, that is a strange it's a strange personal
poll there. But okay, uh, Dan, I think we all
we all have our own opinions, I suppose.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
But wow, Mary Christmas, thanks for listen.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
She gets Ah, there's no privilege like beautiful white, beautiful
woman privilege.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, there's no doubt about that, Dan, and Luigi's enjoying
the attractive male version of that.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Somehow. The ladies just want him to.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Be free somebody's got to turn him onto like eyebrow
wax Center or something and get rid of those caterpillars
on top of his eyes. Woo, it's really distracting.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Ooh, Dan throwing down the eyebrows, because.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
If there are really caterpillars, that means we're in for
a really harsh winter because they're really thick and really black.
So I mean, gaging off of his eyebrows, it's gonna
be a really harsh winter.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Well, we're gonna have to put that into entomology of
playbook here for the off season. All right, Dan, I
cannot wait for your Eyebrow Almanac, which is going to
be coming out soon in bookstores everywhere. I appreciate you
call it in, buddy, Thanks for listenings. Merry Christmas to
you too. Dang with the eyebrows, what do you think?
I don't even notice the eyebrows. I just see like
a very good symmetrical face and the nose and the hair,
(01:58):
and I just feel like in the skin tone. But
apparently I'm gonna have to look back. But apparently he's
got according to according uh Brooks, Shields made it work.
Did brook Shields have big eyebrows? That is that a
thing which had GBT know this?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Sure? Do I have big eyebrows? No weird.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Fred's on the phone line of four or two, five, five, eight,
eleven ten. What are you thinking about today?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Fred?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Hey, well, you guys keep talking about the Luisy and
how everybody's praising him for taking out this CEO whatever.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
There's a lot of people, but not everybody, but yeah,
I hear you.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Yeah, Okay, there's a lot of people cheering for this,
and I'm just kind of wondering the healthcare industry do
they understand what they're cheering against right now? Well, it'd
be known as it's known as Obamacare. Yeah, yeah, sure, sure,
this is what you are rallying against. This is Obamacare,
(02:54):
and this is what it was designed to do. And
now you guys are all upset and you're cheering this
guy off for taking another guy out. Congratulations, pack yourself.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
On the back.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah, that's that's the other thing, Fred. And this is
a generalization.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
So anybody out there that knows a liberal person or
a young person who tends to, you know, sympathize more
with Luigi here. Fred, just not the smartest bulbs in
the shed. I like that was a terrible analogy and
was not what I want meant to say. But you
know what I'm saying, it's like not the smartest bulbs
in the shed. That's not what I meant. Yeah, but
(03:29):
but you know.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
What I'm saying that they're they're they're not.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
They're not They're not so sharp when it comes to
this stuff, right. They only do what society tells them
to do, or what social media tells them to do.
And they say Obama good, Biden good, Kamala good, Luigi good,
healthcare bad. You know, like there's not a lot of
thought process into like the cause and effect of a
lot of this stuff, you.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Right, But they're too ignorant to stop and look healthcare bad.
Oh wait, hey, hold on a second, that's Obamacare. We
cheered for that crap.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Well, that's the thing, Fred is you can try to
tell them that and then that would just kind of
like blow their brains into smither rings because they don't
think that deeply about anything. You know, They're they're very
like secular one topic at a time. They can't handle
two topics kind of merging together at the same time. Fred,
And again generalization there, but you're You're right. It's like,
why do you think we have this system? Ladies and gentlemen?
(04:22):
You know what I say?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Fred, thanks for coming up, Mary Christmas. Doug's on a
fun line of four or two, five, five, eight to
eleven ten? What's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Doug?
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Hey, buddy, how you doing?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (04:34):
The couple of callers ago, the guy was talking about
his uh caterpill or eyebrows.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Yeah, I got a little point.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Take that bug shot where he was, you know, just
standing there not looking so hot, you know. And then
go watch Old Monsters rerun and look at Eddie Murphy
Eddie Munster. Oh boy, he looks like a grown up
Eddie Munster to me, Oh boy, oh boy.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Okay, yeah we can get the If we can get
to Luigi looks like Eddie Munster, propaganda machine up and
run on social media, we might be able to stop
this fan club before it starts.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Maybe maybe that's what we need to work on.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Thanks to joke all Jokesa's side though, just one more point.
It's a sad state of affairs when some guy gets
shot in the back with by a coward and people
are praising him. I don't care how screwed up the
healthcare system is. That guy did not deserve to get
shot in the back.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Absolutely, Doug. Anyway, thank you. I appreciate Merry Christmas.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
All right, thank you, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah, so he's right, right, we're talking about an industry, yeah,
that does make decisions on people with pre existing conditions
or or you know, what procedures can be covered or
not covered, right, unless you're a bazillionaire. And honestly, like
you look at Luigimnngioni's family, they have a lot of money, right.
(06:10):
I don't know how much money Luigi's carrying around with
him on a day to day basis, but pretty well
off and affluent. He gets off of his parents' health
care like everybody does at twenty six years old. Right,
Maybe that has something to do with all this, and
he just doesn't feel like it's a fair system or
anything like that. But there's a lot of people out
there that are frustrated that they have very little control
(06:31):
over what they can and cannot have in their health care, right,
versus what they think that they deserve or what you know,
they think that the healthcare industry should be doing for them.
There's that element of what that looks like. And they
have now this guy, this younger guy, who decided to
(06:52):
take that out, and they think him taking this guy
out was actually good, even though death is like the
worst thing you can do to somebody. Murdering somebody is
like the worst thing you could do to someone. And
we're just like flippantly not even talking about that with
these people that are like support him because they're.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Like, oh, yeah, you know, like it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
That guy was running a healthcare insurance company that basically
was telling people whether they could live or die, and
how they could live or die, and what they would
and wouldn't cover all the time.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
So I'm sorry, I don't feel bad.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
He got shot, he got killed, he got murdered, he
had a family. How is that okay? It's not okay.
It should not be okay. How are we justifying this somehow?
It's dumb? Jim is on phone four two, five, five,
eight eleven ten. What do you think, Jim?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yeah, actually, so if.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
You think about it, it was ultimately our elected officials
and the federal government that sets the laws the United
Healthcare has to follow. So ultimately it's the elected officials
that should be on the shopping block, not the CEOs
that are following the law.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, and that makes a lot of sense, Jim. It's
just hard to explain that to people out there who
are getting denied by their specific healthcare company, right, because
each healthcare company has different rates of denials on claims,
and I think that's what put United in the cross here,
is more so than maybe some of the other healthcare
industries or companies, because they have a like some of
(08:19):
the healthcare companies are sitting at like eighteen to twenty percent,
and it's something like thirty two or thirty three percent
claim denials by United Healthcare.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
So I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
You're one hundred percent right that they're trying to operate
within the parameters of what the government says. But based
like if you research like how many denials or what
percentage of denials each company has, United Healthcare has the
most denials like percentage wise, of any other company, So
that might be why they were targeted here more so
(08:52):
than anyone else.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
And the scary thing is we don't educate the consumer
because there's an appeals process, so not working in up
are not knowing all those things. But it seems to
me everybody's always pointing the finger as it's always someone
else's fault and I'm in a bad situation. The guy
grew up in Central Iowa of modest means that worked
(09:14):
to be a great success. Isn't that the American dream
to be successful?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I mean from his perspective, absolutely, And you know what,
like if we were able to make millions of dollars
doing something that we you know, ended up getting into
a career field for that would be a success story
as well. But there's also that other thing of like
there are people from outside that industry looking in and saying, well,
that industry just like is the that's the top one percent?
And that guy has lost the plot. Like yeah, you
(09:41):
could look at his entire life and say he was
living in the American dream. But every person that isn't
in the top one percent and isn't making eighty thousand
dollars a day like this guy was, or looking at
these guys and nope, that's a one percenter who doesn't
get us, doesn't care about us, doesn't he doesn't need
us for his job to operate. And that's why I
(10:01):
don't think people feel bad for him because they don't
think about what he used to be or how he
grew up. They think about him being a guy that
makes over ten million dollars a year.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
And the scary thing is the accountability. It's always someone else.
I'm not accountable for myself. And until we can get
that changed. And it's in the public school system or
in the school system, right, it's always somebody else, it's
not me.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Yeah, it starts.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
It starts with the parents, though, Jim.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
It starts with the parents, because there's a lot more
parents in my generation, in the generation below me that
I'm seeing, you know, like in their the younger people.
It's gotten worse, every single generation of parents just going
to bat for their kid over everything else. The kid
never does anything wrong. I mean, it's the reason why
you see all these parents getting really angry at these
youth sports games. Their kid you call the foul, you know,
(10:50):
you high school referee, that's you know, officiating my fourth
grader's basketball game. How dare you not say that that
was a strike, That was a perfect pitch.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
You know.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
We've gotten to a point where we are so far
removed from holding our kids more accountable and turning them
into the best people they can be. And that's unfortunate
because then they're going to grow up and it's gonna
be the same thing, and then that's going to be
projected even further down the.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Line that unfortunately, it's going to be going to take
a generational change. Yeah, to get us back on track
and get the ship turned so great thing. We have
great leaders elected taken over this here in a few weeks. Yeah,
and hopefully we'll write the.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Ship fingers crossed, Jim, fingers crossed.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
But we're all we all got to hold ourselves accountable
for how we you know, raise our kids in hopefully
before they even get into school. You know, they kind
of have that built into them as well.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Yeah, Chris, Yeah, and Merry Christmas, Jim.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
We appreciate you for calling in nine Sorry it is
four nineteen and we'll be back with more. Thanks for
listening on news radio eleven ten KFAB and.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Maurice Sellner on news Radio eleven ten KFAB.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
This is being played the famous Idaho Potato Bowl, predictably
is being played in Idaho at the Blue Turf of
Boise State. Right it's being played. The game kicked off
just after one o'clock Central time, which would have been
noon there. I remember a time where this Bowl, the
Potato Bowl, was kind of a primetime thing. Does it matter?
(12:24):
I don't think it does. You made a pretty interesting point.
We were talking about this twelve team playoff in the
first round being very disappointing over the weekend. But on
top of that, right, it's like, it's not great that
their games were competitive, but I proposed a twenty fourteen playoff,
and then you looked up here and he's like, this
should not like explain what the crowd looked like in
(12:44):
that video.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
I see it's about a Baker's dozen there, you know,
but I think I think I counted up to about thirteen.
Maybe I counted one of the cheerleaders or coaches in there,
so it might be a little less than that. Yeah,
not too many people were able to take the Monday
off and get there by a two in Boise to
go see Fresnos date go toe to toe with whoever
it was, Chattanooga or somebody who cares.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
So it's northern Illinois for those keepan te.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Southern Indiana, you know, it might as well be West
Poland nobody gives up about this game. And let's face it,
this is why there are too many Bowl games right here. Yeah, hey,
tell you what, we made it to six wins. I'll
see you at two pm in Boise on Monday. How's
that sound? Doesn't sound great?
Speaker 6 (13:27):
No?
Speaker 7 (13:27):
You know what, honestly, it sounds like a pointless football
game to me. What they could have done is they
could have packaged this game up, moved about an hour
away to Moscow, not Russia.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Moscow.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
Idaho played there in the Kibbi Dome. The Idaho Vandals
University of Idaho. They play in a little place called
the Kibbi Dome.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
It's very unique.
Speaker 7 (13:47):
It's about a ten thousand. It's a dome that seats
about ten thousand people. And so that Baker's dozen that
showed up to this game at least would have been
able to make some noise people could have heard on
the field if they would have played it in that game.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
You don't think the people, the fine people of the
cab in Illinois are packing up and making the trip
to boys You to cheer on their Huskies, would you?
Speaker 5 (14:09):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
But I'm not going to New York to watch the
Huskers either. You know, isn't thea that the Pinstripe Bowl
isn't that just like a big conference version of this game?
I just I like, this is these are these are
the group of five teams, right, Like these are the
type of teams that you basically have to win all
your games to go eleven and one to have a
prayer making the playoff, right, So this is like they
(14:29):
get to play in an extra game and they're not
going to be as decimated by the transfer portal as
maybe some of these other big schools that you know
are losing players left and right or whatever, you know.
So I'm thinking to myself, just you know, what's the
what's the like the Pinstripe Bowl just feels like the
Big Conference version of that? And you have a ton
of guys on both teams boy Boston College and Nebraska
(14:50):
that aren't going to be playing in that game. So
like it's not all about like what's the point as
much as it is like, what's like how many how
many Husker fans do you think are going to go?
And this isn't me trying to take a pooh won
the bowl system or the Huskers making a bowl game,
but I bet it's a solid number it's going to
be a lot more than Fresno or Northern Illinois had
(15:12):
here With Boston College.
Speaker 7 (15:14):
I'm sure the officials who oversee the Pinstripe Bowl are
thrilled the Huskers got the invite. In fact, I'm sure
that they were very thrilled, because that's the team you
want if you want a good full stadium. Plenty of
people are going to travel more than many other schools.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
But this game, the Pinstriple has been going on for
over a decade now and they're averaging well over thirty
thousand people per game. So people are going to this
game to see this football game in Yankee Stadium in
New York, right.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
There's just something about the fact that it really doesn't
matter at the end of the day that I think
is just like, Okay, we are past the point of
these games taking place. But objectively, let's just get more
playoff games, get more teams a chance to win a
national title on the field, and call it good.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
It's a game that's being played at two pm on
a Monday in a mostly empty stadium. You're telling me
in IDESBN is sitting here saying that they're getting better
ratings for this game than they would for Around the Horn.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
But that's what they that's why they put it here.
That's what they're doing. Yeah, I guarantee that they're getting
better ratings. You and me don't have Around the Horn
on the screen. We're watching this. Ah, it doesn't mean
it's good. But they had to scheduled early because they
don't want to run into Monday night football, which they
will be airing in a couple hours.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
See, this is the corruption of the million and you
know how much money that they're giving some of these conferences.
These Bowl games have a ton of money coming out
in two but the ESPN and these media rightes deals
are giving tens of millions of dollars to every major
school in America, the players getting none of it. So,
I don't know, it's just a it's a weird situation.
Four point thirty. We'll have more coming up News Radio
(16:46):
eleven to ten Kfab Emery's songer.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I don't know how to put this, but I'm kind
of a big deal.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
On News Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Main thing I think from my perspective on this, we
got to talk about it that this fire related thing
in New York on the subway. As this story was reported.
(17:18):
It's a thirty three year old Sebastian Zapeta is the
person who is suspected of setting this homeless woman on fire.
She eventually dies. It's just a horrific thing to hear about.
But they say he's a migrant from Guatemala and he
had been previously deported. He was arrested on June first,
(17:39):
twenty eighteen. He crossed illegally in Arizona. He was deported
just days later June seventh, six days later and sent
back to where he came from. And then he re
entered the US illegally on an unknown date and an
unknown location. So they are familiar with who he is.
They just have no idea what the what to do
(17:59):
here post And I'll be honest with you. I don't
want to blame everything across the board on illegal immigrants.
But every time that you hear about a horrific thing
that like this that happens, and this tells you all
you need to know about the New York subway system.
For the record, I want to remind you New York
is a bigger city than Madrid, Spain is. But Madrid
(18:22):
is basically like in between Los Angeles and Chicago in size,
and Barcelona, which is basically Philadelphia size. Okay, like these
are like like these are These are two big cities,
and I was greatly using like with regularity. I was
using their subway systems in both cities. I probably was
(18:44):
on the subway at least twenty times over the two
weeks that we were there. I felt safe every single day,
every single time I used it. I felt like I
was nothing bad was going to happen to me. And
I'm I understand that maybe I only used it twenty times,
ten in Barcelona, ten in Madrid. Like, I totally get
(19:06):
what we're talking about here. However, New York City, how
do you feel safe getting on the subway at all?
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Now? There's a ton of people.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
There are tens of thousands of people easily that are
in every single car every single day there. So I
don't want to say public transportation is bad, because I
think public trans transportation, when done right, is actually a
great selling point of your cities. You know, Barcelona itself
had a ton of different options in public transportation. They
had a subway, they had a cable car or a
(19:33):
street car that was like operating around town. They have
a bus system, they have bikes that you can use.
There's so many different things taxi system that you can
use to get around whatever you're most comfortable in, what
you're you know, most likely to utilize. And in New
York you have a lot of that stuff too, but
(19:54):
it's dilapidated and it doesn't feel safe so much. And
I'll be honest with you, in like hailing a cab
in Barcelona, it was chill, like, there was never like
this moment of trying to feel like, oh yeah, absolutely,
we obviously feel like like we're totally safe in a
(20:16):
taxi in Barcelona, but with like a Spanish speaking driver
usually I had no problem talking to them. And the
roads like there's not as much like honking, they're not
cutting each other off. There's just a lot less vitriol
there with their public transportation than here. And I bring
all this up to say that this is a societal
problem that we have and New York being this unsafe
(20:39):
in their subway systems. You had the Daniel Penny Jordan
Neely thing obviously that put a big spotlight on that,
but now you're having an illegal immigrant who shouldn't even
be in the United States to begin with setting a
woman on fire of all things. It's just an incredible
thing to even think is happening here. And so I
don't want to can dem giant groups of people here
(21:03):
or a public transportation system or anything like that, but
it is. It's an unfortunate thing that you can go
right back to the immigration aspect and illegal immigration specifically
being at the forefront of this conversation, which is just
really sad, and it results in the death of somebody who, yes,
I'm sure their life wasn't going super great, but it
(21:25):
is not not a great situation on any level there.
And if I was living in New York and I
kept seeing this, there's no way that I'd be taking
the subway system. And that's really sad too, because that
is probably the most affordable way to get around town.
It's incredibly affordable to take subway systems, but I don't
know how you could feel safe doing it. Julian's on
(21:45):
our phone line of four h two, five, five, eight,
eleven ten.
Speaker 8 (21:47):
What do you think, Julian, Hey, Emory, how's it going? Listen?
You know that Europe the train stations are a lot cleaner,
a lot more set than New York City. Another thing,
when you're in New York City, you're in a war zone. Man,
to be on top of your game. I mean, you
don't take the train at three o'clock in the morning, right,
I mean, you got to get a cat. You're going out.
(22:08):
You can definitely take the train six o'clock, seven o'clock
at night. Go where you're going in Manhattan. But coming back,
maybe you got to get a cat. For sure, you're
gonna get mugged. But yeah, it's a war zone. You
got to look alive. That's definitely the clue over there.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yeah, that's a good point. I was taking you know,
subways in Spain. You know all times I did after
a real Madrid match in Madrid, and I'll be honest
with you, I was skeptical about that because there were
so many people trying to get on. I was back
at my like where we were staying within like ten minutes.
It was crazy how fast it worked. It was crazy.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
Oh no, Hemry, I was in Berlin, and Berlin four o'clock,
five o'clock coming out of the beautiful everybody was cool.
In New York City, man, you got to be on
top of New York.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yeah, and it just like, why is America like this?
In other countries they have that figured out? And what
is it about their culture that they haven't had to
worry about that? Is it the influx of immigration that
we're dealing with in these major cities. I don't know,
but maybe that's something we have to look at. Julian,
I appreciate your thoughts on this.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
Hey like your show, Take care, thanks man.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Merry Christmas. Yeah, it's weird. He's talking about Germany being
the same way as Spain. Is how are these European
countries to advance with this stuff and people can feel
safe and not and we can't feel that way in America.
It's wild to me anyway. It's four to forty seven.
We'll get some more fun stuff here from now till
the end of the show. It's fun Christmas and debauchery

Four fifty one.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Matt Case has spent his entire afternoon taking a big
old poo poo on the famous Sidaho Potato Bowl taking
place here in Boise, Idaho, in the middle of the
afternoon on a Monday, which is a fair understanding, understandably
strange thing. But they're in the middle of the second
overtime and we just saw a sweet double reverse path
to the quarterback on a two point conversion. Matt, and
(24:03):
I'm just like, if you're a football fan, how are
you not loving this? How are you not loving the heck.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Out of this?
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (24:09):
I guess it's still a pointless game.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
So what isn't everything in sports kind of pointless at
the end of it?
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Ooh, I like it, getting a little ecclesiastical on me.
You know what, if you really think about it, nothing
really serves a point.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
I don't know. I don't know. It was that was
too far? Yeah, maybe not?
Speaker 5 (24:31):
You know, I.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
Classic classic, Matt thought I was joining in. All I
did was show off how sad I am.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Inside ecclesiastical as a heck of a word. I love
that word, and I love that Book of the Bible. Yes,
is that that's before Psalms? That's a good question. I'm
not sure that's okay.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
I know it is absolutely the most emo book of
the Bible.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, it's like if if the Bible was written in
like the post hardcore mid two thousands, and someone in
the band Afi or my Chemical Romance was like called
by God to write things down. It kind of probably
end up not too far from what it ended up
being to begin with.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
If you open Ecclesiastes to the first page, actually, if
you read the first few words, it's just to night
is not the game?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
You finish it? What's the rest of that lyric?
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I don't want to know. No, that's what That song
is a bit over the top over again. I know
that word's in there. No, no, but we're having fun.
This is great, this is great. Men's basketball tonight Nebraska
takes on Hawaii.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Is that right? Nine thirty tonight, Central time. That'd be fun,
you know what.
Speaker 7 (25:46):
The on second thought, I think Ecclesiastes a little bit
more joy division, you know.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Oh so it's not really emo. It's just like the Smiths.
Speaker 7 (25:55):
Yeah, yeah, even a little bit of the Cure in there.
It's a little dark, little dark, yeah, a little dark
like a Mad World by Gary Jeules. There's a good
one for one comp right there. It's a little dark,
but not necessarily like hardcore emotional. It's just like just
a little dark yeah, a little melancholy.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Yeah, yeah, you gotta have some of that, you know,
the Old Testament's got a lot of that stuff going
on there.
Speaker 7 (26:16):
The way, we need a music comp for every single book,
and we got to figure out Ecclesiastes first.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
That's what I say.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
It's Genesis Genesis. It probably has to be. But is
that really what you want it to be.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
It's definitely not. Genesis is more progressive than anything. But
you could make the argument the Genesis the book is
pretty progressive too, because.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
A lot of stuff was made there. What's that song
by Paul Simon? Scarborough Fair? No, there's a song by
Paul Simon I want to submit as the soundtrack to Genesis.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
What about Exodus? Exodus is like Exodus is kind of
emo because you're leaving. You know, you're not leaving, You're
getting pushed out. You're getting extracted, right, you're getting roped in.
It's Christmas time. Why are we talking about the books
that talk about Chris.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
I'm just giving people a great math conversation starter.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
My Matthew, Mark Luke and John needs songs, but yeah,
they're gonna be similar.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Songs.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Are artists that would you know, provide the cattle.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
Maybe maybe a song from each of the beatles that
went independent, right, like what was Ringo Star's top song?
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Oh no, no, no, no you do like is he
Matthew Ringo?
Speaker 3 (27:22):
That's probably not right. Good question.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
What's your comp there, Matthew, Mark Luke and John Who's
Ringo Star?
Speaker 1 (27:27):
There are people that are hardcore church goers listening to
this like you boys been I go to church every week,
and I said, we are having a great time. Better
be careful boys. Anyway, all right, we got another hour
for you. We're gonna have a lot of fun. All good,
all fun. You have a fun. Matt I'm having a
great time. I'm having a great time too. We got
one more hour of great times coming up here on
news Radio eleven ten kh Aybe
But first we were talking about Luigi Mangioni and why
he's got a fan club, and I am under the
impression that it's because he's an attractive twenty six year
old Italian guy who dresses up. Well, that's my thoughts.
And people don't have a lot of sympathy for the
healthcare industry. Well, we are talking about a few different things. Four, two, five, five, eight, eleven, ten, Dan,
(00:20):
you got something angle wise with this.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
You know, you're kind of onto something because like take
Milana Banakrub for example, and if she were like say,
a serial puppy killer or something like that, it'd be like, yeah,
that's kind of quirky and stuff. But I dang, look
at her. Give a girl a pass. It's fine.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Just well, that is a strange it's a strange personal
poll there. But okay, uh, Dan, I think we all
we all have our own opinions, I suppose.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
But wow, Mary Christmas, thanks for listen.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
She gets Ah, there's no privilege like beautiful white, beautiful
woman privilege.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, there's no doubt about that, Dan, and Luigi's enjoying
the attractive male version of that.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Somehow. The ladies just want him to.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Be free somebody's got to turn him onto like eyebrow
wax Center or something and get rid of those caterpillars
on top of his eyes. Woo, it's really distracting.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Ooh, Dan throwing down the eyebrows, because.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
If there are really caterpillars, that means we're in for
a really harsh winter because they're really thick and really black.
So I mean, gaging off of his eyebrows, it's gonna
be a really harsh winter.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Well, we're gonna have to put that into entomology of
playbook here for the off season. All right, Dan, I
cannot wait for your Eyebrow Almanac, which is going to
be coming out soon in bookstores everywhere. I appreciate you
call it in, buddy, Thanks for listenings. Merry Christmas to
you too. Dang with the eyebrows, what do you think?
I don't even notice the eyebrows. I just see like
a very good symmetrical face and the nose and the hair,
(01:58):
and I just feel like in the skin tone. But
apparently I'm gonna have to look back. But apparently he's
got according to according uh Brooks, Shields made it work.
Did brook Shields have big eyebrows? That is that a
thing which had GBT know this?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Sure? Do I have big eyebrows? No weird.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Fred's on the phone line of four or two, five, five, eight,
eleven ten. What are you thinking about today?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Fred?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Hey, well, you guys keep talking about the Luisy and
how everybody's praising him for taking out this CEO whatever.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
There's a lot of people, but not everybody, but yeah,
I hear you.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Yeah, Okay, there's a lot of people cheering for this,
and I'm just kind of wondering the healthcare industry do
they understand what they're cheering against right now? Well, it'd
be known as it's known as Obamacare. Yeah, yeah, sure, sure,
this is what you are rallying against. This is Obamacare,
(02:54):
and this is what it was designed to do. And
now you guys are all upset and you're cheering this
guy off for taking another guy out. Congratulations, pack yourself.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
On the back.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah, that's that's the other thing, Fred. And this is
a generalization.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
So anybody out there that knows a liberal person or
a young person who tends to, you know, sympathize more
with Luigi here. Fred, just not the smartest bulbs in
the shed. I like that was a terrible analogy and
was not what I want meant to say. But you
know what I'm saying, it's like not the smartest bulbs
in the shed. That's not what I meant. Yeah, but
(03:29):
but you know.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
What I'm saying that they're they're they're not.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
They're not They're not so sharp when it comes to
this stuff, right. They only do what society tells them
to do, or what social media tells them to do.
And they say Obama good, Biden good, Kamala good, Luigi good,
healthcare bad. You know, like there's not a lot of
thought process into like the cause and effect of a
lot of this stuff, you.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Right, But they're too ignorant to stop and look healthcare bad.
Oh wait, hey, hold on a second, that's Obamacare. We
cheered for that crap.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Well, that's the thing, Fred is you can try to
tell them that and then that would just kind of
like blow their brains into smither rings because they don't
think that deeply about anything. You know, They're they're very
like secular one topic at a time. They can't handle
two topics kind of merging together at the same time. Fred,
And again generalization there, but you're You're right. It's like,
why do you think we have this system? Ladies and gentlemen?
(04:22):
You know what I say?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Fred, thanks for coming up, Mary Christmas. Doug's on a
fun line of four or two, five, five, eight to
eleven ten? What's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Doug?
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Hey, buddy, how you doing?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (04:34):
The couple of callers ago, the guy was talking about
his uh caterpill or eyebrows.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Yeah, I got a little point.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Take that bug shot where he was, you know, just
standing there not looking so hot, you know. And then
go watch Old Monsters rerun and look at Eddie Murphy
Eddie Munster. Oh boy, he looks like a grown up
Eddie Munster to me, Oh boy, oh boy.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Okay, yeah we can get the If we can get
to Luigi looks like Eddie Munster, propaganda machine up and
run on social media, we might be able to stop
this fan club before it starts.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Maybe maybe that's what we need to work on.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Thanks to joke all Jokesa's side though, just one more point.
It's a sad state of affairs when some guy gets
shot in the back with by a coward and people
are praising him. I don't care how screwed up the
healthcare system is. That guy did not deserve to get
shot in the back.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Absolutely, Doug. Anyway, thank you. I appreciate Merry Christmas.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
All right, thank you, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah, so he's right, right, we're talking about an industry, yeah,
that does make decisions on people with pre existing conditions
or or you know, what procedures can be covered or
not covered, right, unless you're a bazillionaire. And honestly, like
you look at Luigimnngioni's family, they have a lot of money, right.
(06:10):
I don't know how much money Luigi's carrying around with
him on a day to day basis, but pretty well
off and affluent. He gets off of his parents' health
care like everybody does at twenty six years old. Right,
Maybe that has something to do with all this, and
he just doesn't feel like it's a fair system or
anything like that. But there's a lot of people out
there that are frustrated that they have very little control
(06:31):
over what they can and cannot have in their health care, right,
versus what they think that they deserve or what you know,
they think that the healthcare industry should be doing for them.
There's that element of what that looks like. And they
have now this guy, this younger guy, who decided to
(06:52):
take that out, and they think him taking this guy
out was actually good, even though death is like the
worst thing you can do to somebody. Murdering somebody is
like the worst thing you could do to someone. And
we're just like flippantly not even talking about that with
these people that are like support him because they're.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Like, oh, yeah, you know, like it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
That guy was running a healthcare insurance company that basically
was telling people whether they could live or die, and
how they could live or die, and what they would
and wouldn't cover all the time.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
So I'm sorry, I don't feel bad.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
He got shot, he got killed, he got murdered, he
had a family. How is that okay? It's not okay.
It should not be okay. How are we justifying this somehow?
It's dumb? Jim is on phone four two, five, five,
eight eleven ten. What do you think, Jim?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yeah, actually, so if.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
You think about it, it was ultimately our elected officials
and the federal government that sets the laws the United
Healthcare has to follow. So ultimately it's the elected officials
that should be on the shopping block, not the CEOs
that are following the law.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, and that makes a lot of sense, Jim. It's
just hard to explain that to people out there who
are getting denied by their specific healthcare company, right, because
each healthcare company has different rates of denials on claims,
and I think that's what put United in the cross here,
is more so than maybe some of the other healthcare
industries or companies, because they have a like some of
(08:19):
the healthcare companies are sitting at like eighteen to twenty percent,
and it's something like thirty two or thirty three percent
claim denials by United Healthcare.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
So I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
You're one hundred percent right that they're trying to operate
within the parameters of what the government says. But based
like if you research like how many denials or what
percentage of denials each company has, United Healthcare has the
most denials like percentage wise, of any other company, So
that might be why they were targeted here more so
(08:52):
than anyone else.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
And the scary thing is we don't educate the consumer
because there's an appeals process, so not working in up
are not knowing all those things. But it seems to
me everybody's always pointing the finger as it's always someone
else's fault and I'm in a bad situation. The guy
grew up in Central Iowa of modest means that worked
(09:14):
to be a great success. Isn't that the American dream
to be successful?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I mean from his perspective, absolutely, And you know what,
like if we were able to make millions of dollars
doing something that we you know, ended up getting into
a career field for that would be a success story
as well. But there's also that other thing of like
there are people from outside that industry looking in and saying, well,
that industry just like is the that's the top one percent?
And that guy has lost the plot. Like yeah, you
(09:41):
could look at his entire life and say he was
living in the American dream. But every person that isn't
in the top one percent and isn't making eighty thousand
dollars a day like this guy was, or looking at
these guys and nope, that's a one percenter who doesn't
get us, doesn't care about us, doesn't he doesn't need
us for his job to operate. And that's why I
(10:01):
don't think people feel bad for him because they don't
think about what he used to be or how he
grew up. They think about him being a guy that
makes over ten million dollars a year.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
And the scary thing is the accountability. It's always someone else.
I'm not accountable for myself. And until we can get
that changed. And it's in the public school system or
in the school system, right, it's always somebody else, it's
not me.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Yeah, it starts.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
It starts with the parents, though, Jim.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
It starts with the parents, because there's a lot more
parents in my generation, in the generation below me that
I'm seeing, you know, like in their the younger people.
It's gotten worse, every single generation of parents just going
to bat for their kid over everything else. The kid
never does anything wrong. I mean, it's the reason why
you see all these parents getting really angry at these
youth sports games. Their kid you call the foul, you know,
(10:50):
you high school referee, that's you know, officiating my fourth
grader's basketball game. How dare you not say that that
was a strike, That was a perfect pitch.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
You know.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
We've gotten to a point where we are so far
removed from holding our kids more accountable and turning them
into the best people they can be. And that's unfortunate
because then they're going to grow up and it's gonna
be the same thing, and then that's going to be
projected even further down the.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Line that unfortunately, it's going to be going to take
a generational change. Yeah, to get us back on track
and get the ship turned so great thing. We have
great leaders elected taken over this here in a few weeks. Yeah,
and hopefully we'll write the.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Ship fingers crossed, Jim, fingers crossed.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
But we're all we all got to hold ourselves accountable
for how we you know, raise our kids in hopefully
before they even get into school. You know, they kind
of have that built into them as well.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Yeah, Chris, Yeah, and Merry Christmas, Jim.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
We appreciate you for calling in nine Sorry it is
four nineteen and we'll be back with more. Thanks for
listening on news radio eleven ten KFAB and.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Maurice Sellner on news Radio eleven ten KFAB.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
This is being played the famous Idaho Potato Bowl, predictably
is being played in Idaho at the Blue Turf of
Boise State. Right it's being played. The game kicked off
just after one o'clock Central time, which would have been
noon there. I remember a time where this Bowl, the
Potato Bowl, was kind of a primetime thing. Does it matter?
(12:24):
I don't think it does. You made a pretty interesting point.
We were talking about this twelve team playoff in the
first round being very disappointing over the weekend. But on
top of that, right, it's like, it's not great that
their games were competitive, but I proposed a twenty fourteen playoff,
and then you looked up here and he's like, this
should not like explain what the crowd looked like in
(12:44):
that video.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
I see it's about a Baker's dozen there, you know,
but I think I think I counted up to about thirteen.
Maybe I counted one of the cheerleaders or coaches in there,
so it might be a little less than that. Yeah,
not too many people were able to take the Monday
off and get there by a two in Boise to
go see Fresnos date go toe to toe with whoever
it was, Chattanooga or somebody who cares.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
So it's northern Illinois for those keepan te.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Southern Indiana, you know, it might as well be West
Poland nobody gives up about this game. And let's face it,
this is why there are too many Bowl games right here. Yeah, hey,
tell you what, we made it to six wins. I'll
see you at two pm in Boise on Monday. How's
that sound? Doesn't sound great?
Speaker 6 (13:27):
No?
Speaker 7 (13:27):
You know what, honestly, it sounds like a pointless football
game to me. What they could have done is they
could have packaged this game up, moved about an hour
away to Moscow, not Russia.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Moscow.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
Idaho played there in the Kibbi Dome. The Idaho Vandals
University of Idaho. They play in a little place called
the Kibbi Dome.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
It's very unique.
Speaker 7 (13:47):
It's about a ten thousand. It's a dome that seats
about ten thousand people. And so that Baker's dozen that
showed up to this game at least would have been
able to make some noise people could have heard on
the field if they would have played it in that game.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
You don't think the people, the fine people of the
cab in Illinois are packing up and making the trip
to boys You to cheer on their Huskies, would you?
Speaker 5 (14:09):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
But I'm not going to New York to watch the
Huskers either. You know, isn't thea that the Pinstripe Bowl
isn't that just like a big conference version of this game?
I just I like, this is these are these are
the group of five teams, right, Like these are the
type of teams that you basically have to win all
your games to go eleven and one to have a
prayer making the playoff, right, So this is like they
(14:29):
get to play in an extra game and they're not
going to be as decimated by the transfer portal as
maybe some of these other big schools that you know
are losing players left and right or whatever, you know.
So I'm thinking to myself, just you know, what's the
what's the like the Pinstripe Bowl just feels like the
Big Conference version of that? And you have a ton
of guys on both teams boy Boston College and Nebraska
(14:50):
that aren't going to be playing in that game. So
like it's not all about like what's the point as
much as it is like, what's like how many how
many Husker fans do you think are going to go?
And this isn't me trying to take a pooh won
the bowl system or the Huskers making a bowl game,
but I bet it's a solid number it's going to
be a lot more than Fresno or Northern Illinois had
(15:12):
here With Boston College.
Speaker 7 (15:14):
I'm sure the officials who oversee the Pinstripe Bowl are
thrilled the Huskers got the invite. In fact, I'm sure
that they were very thrilled, because that's the team you
want if you want a good full stadium. Plenty of
people are going to travel more than many other schools.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
But this game, the Pinstriple has been going on for
over a decade now and they're averaging well over thirty
thousand people per game. So people are going to this
game to see this football game in Yankee Stadium in
New York, right.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
There's just something about the fact that it really doesn't
matter at the end of the day that I think
is just like, Okay, we are past the point of
these games taking place. But objectively, let's just get more
playoff games, get more teams a chance to win a
national title on the field, and call it good.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
It's a game that's being played at two pm on
a Monday in a mostly empty stadium. You're telling me
in IDESBN is sitting here saying that they're getting better
ratings for this game than they would for Around the Horn.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
But that's what they that's why they put it here.
That's what they're doing. Yeah, I guarantee that they're getting
better ratings. You and me don't have Around the Horn
on the screen. We're watching this. Ah, it doesn't mean
it's good. But they had to scheduled early because they
don't want to run into Monday night football, which they
will be airing in a couple hours.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
See, this is the corruption of the million and you
know how much money that they're giving some of these conferences.
These Bowl games have a ton of money coming out
in two but the ESPN and these media rightes deals
are giving tens of millions of dollars to every major
school in America, the players getting none of it. So,
I don't know, it's just a it's a weird situation.
Four point thirty. We'll have more coming up News Radio
(16:46):
eleven to ten Kfab Emery's songer.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I don't know how to put this, but I'm kind
of a big deal.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
On News Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Main thing I think from my perspective on this, we
got to talk about it that this fire related thing
in New York on the subway. As this story was reported.
(17:18):
It's a thirty three year old Sebastian Zapeta is the
person who is suspected of setting this homeless woman on fire.
She eventually dies. It's just a horrific thing to hear about.
But they say he's a migrant from Guatemala and he
had been previously deported. He was arrested on June first,
(17:39):
twenty eighteen. He crossed illegally in Arizona. He was deported
just days later June seventh, six days later and sent
back to where he came from. And then he re
entered the US illegally on an unknown date and an
unknown location. So they are familiar with who he is.
They just have no idea what the what to do
(17:59):
here post And I'll be honest with you. I don't
want to blame everything across the board on illegal immigrants.
But every time that you hear about a horrific thing
that like this that happens, and this tells you all
you need to know about the New York subway system.
For the record, I want to remind you New York
is a bigger city than Madrid, Spain is. But Madrid
(18:22):
is basically like in between Los Angeles and Chicago in size,
and Barcelona, which is basically Philadelphia size. Okay, like these
are like like these are These are two big cities,
and I was greatly using like with regularity. I was
using their subway systems in both cities. I probably was
(18:44):
on the subway at least twenty times over the two
weeks that we were there. I felt safe every single day,
every single time I used it. I felt like I
was nothing bad was going to happen to me. And
I'm I understand that maybe I only used it twenty times,
ten in Barcelona, ten in Madrid. Like, I totally get
(19:06):
what we're talking about here. However, New York City, how
do you feel safe getting on the subway at all?
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Now? There's a ton of people.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
There are tens of thousands of people easily that are
in every single car every single day there. So I
don't want to say public transportation is bad, because I
think public trans transportation, when done right, is actually a
great selling point of your cities. You know, Barcelona itself
had a ton of different options in public transportation. They
had a subway, they had a cable car or a
(19:33):
street car that was like operating around town. They have
a bus system, they have bikes that you can use.
There's so many different things taxi system that you can
use to get around whatever you're most comfortable in, what
you're you know, most likely to utilize. And in New
York you have a lot of that stuff too, but
(19:54):
it's dilapidated and it doesn't feel safe so much. And
I'll be honest with you, in like hailing a cab
in Barcelona, it was chill, like, there was never like
this moment of trying to feel like, oh yeah, absolutely,
we obviously feel like like we're totally safe in a
(20:16):
taxi in Barcelona, but with like a Spanish speaking driver
usually I had no problem talking to them. And the
roads like there's not as much like honking, they're not
cutting each other off. There's just a lot less vitriol
there with their public transportation than here. And I bring
all this up to say that this is a societal
problem that we have and New York being this unsafe
(20:39):
in their subway systems. You had the Daniel Penny Jordan
Neely thing obviously that put a big spotlight on that,
but now you're having an illegal immigrant who shouldn't even
be in the United States to begin with setting a
woman on fire of all things. It's just an incredible
thing to even think is happening here. And so I
don't want to can dem giant groups of people here
(21:03):
or a public transportation system or anything like that, but
it is. It's an unfortunate thing that you can go
right back to the immigration aspect and illegal immigration specifically
being at the forefront of this conversation, which is just
really sad, and it results in the death of somebody who, yes,
I'm sure their life wasn't going super great, but it
(21:25):
is not not a great situation on any level there.
And if I was living in New York and I
kept seeing this, there's no way that I'd be taking
the subway system. And that's really sad too, because that
is probably the most affordable way to get around town.
It's incredibly affordable to take subway systems, but I don't
know how you could feel safe doing it. Julian's on
(21:45):
our phone line of four h two, five, five, eight,
eleven ten.
Speaker 8 (21:47):
What do you think, Julian, Hey, Emory, how's it going? Listen?
You know that Europe the train stations are a lot cleaner,
a lot more set than New York City. Another thing,
when you're in New York City, you're in a war zone. Man,
to be on top of your game. I mean, you
don't take the train at three o'clock in the morning, right,
I mean, you got to get a cat. You're going out.
(22:08):
You can definitely take the train six o'clock, seven o'clock
at night. Go where you're going in Manhattan. But coming back,
maybe you got to get a cat. For sure, you're
gonna get mugged. But yeah, it's a war zone. You
got to look alive. That's definitely the clue over there.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yeah, that's a good point. I was taking you know,
subways in Spain. You know all times I did after
a real Madrid match in Madrid, and I'll be honest
with you, I was skeptical about that because there were
so many people trying to get on. I was back
at my like where we were staying within like ten minutes.
It was crazy how fast it worked. It was crazy.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
Oh no, Hemry, I was in Berlin, and Berlin four o'clock,
five o'clock coming out of the beautiful everybody was cool.
In New York City, man, you got to be on
top of New York.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yeah, and it just like, why is America like this?
In other countries they have that figured out? And what
is it about their culture that they haven't had to
worry about that? Is it the influx of immigration that
we're dealing with in these major cities. I don't know,
but maybe that's something we have to look at. Julian,
I appreciate your thoughts on this.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
Hey like your show, Take care, thanks man.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Merry Christmas. Yeah, it's weird. He's talking about Germany being
the same way as Spain. Is how are these European
countries to advance with this stuff and people can feel
safe and not and we can't feel that way in America.
It's wild to me anyway. It's four to forty seven.
We'll get some more fun stuff here from now till
the end of the show. It's fun Christmas and debauchery

Matt Case has spent his entire afternoon taking a big
old poo poo on the famous Sidaho Potato Bowl taking
place here in Boise, Idaho, in the middle of the
afternoon on a Monday, which is a fair understanding, understandably
strange thing. But they're in the middle of the second
overtime and we just saw a sweet double reverse path
to the quarterback on a two point conversion. Matt, and
(24:03):
I'm just like, if you're a football fan, how are
you not loving this? How are you not loving the heck.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Out of this?
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (24:09):
I guess it's still a pointless game.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
So what isn't everything in sports kind of pointless at
the end of it?
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Ooh, I like it, getting a little ecclesiastical on me.
You know what, if you really think about it, nothing
really serves a point.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
I don't know. I don't know. It was that was
too far? Yeah, maybe not?
Speaker 5 (24:31):
You know, I.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
Classic classic, Matt thought I was joining in. All I
did was show off how sad I am.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Inside ecclesiastical as a heck of a word. I love
that word, and I love that Book of the Bible. Yes,
is that that's before Psalms? That's a good question. I'm
not sure that's okay.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
I know it is absolutely the most emo book of
the Bible.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, it's like if if the Bible was written in
like the post hardcore mid two thousands, and someone in
the band Afi or my Chemical Romance was like called
by God to write things down. It kind of probably
end up not too far from what it ended up
being to begin with.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
If you open Ecclesiastes to the first page, actually, if
you read the first few words, it's just to night
is not the game?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
You finish it? What's the rest of that lyric?
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I don't want to know. No, that's what That song
is a bit over the top over again. I know
that word's in there. No, no, but we're having fun.
This is great, this is great. Men's basketball tonight Nebraska
takes on Hawaii.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Is that right? Nine thirty tonight, Central time. That'd be fun,
you know what.
Speaker 7 (25:46):
The on second thought, I think Ecclesiastes a little bit
more joy division, you know.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Oh so it's not really emo. It's just like the Smiths.
Speaker 7 (25:55):
Yeah, yeah, even a little bit of the Cure in there.
It's a little dark, little dark, yeah, a little dark
like a Mad World by Gary Jeules. There's a good
one for one comp right there. It's a little dark,
but not necessarily like hardcore emotional. It's just like just
a little dark yeah, a little melancholy.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Yeah, yeah, you gotta have some of that, you know,
the Old Testament's got a lot of that stuff going
on there.
Speaker 7 (26:16):
The way, we need a music comp for every single book,
and we got to figure out Ecclesiastes first.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
That's what I say.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
It's Genesis Genesis. It probably has to be. But is
that really what you want it to be.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
It's definitely not. Genesis is more progressive than anything. But
you could make the argument the Genesis the book is
pretty progressive too, because.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
A lot of stuff was made there. What's that song
by Paul Simon? Scarborough Fair? No, there's a song by
Paul Simon I want to submit as the soundtrack to Genesis.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
What about Exodus? Exodus is like Exodus is kind of
emo because you're leaving. You know, you're not leaving, You're
getting pushed out. You're getting extracted, right, you're getting roped in.
It's Christmas time. Why are we talking about the books
that talk about Chris.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
I'm just giving people a great math conversation starter.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
My Matthew, Mark Luke and John needs songs, but yeah,
they're gonna be similar.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Songs.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Are artists that would you know, provide the cattle.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
Maybe maybe a song from each of the beatles that
went independent, right, like what was Ringo Star's top song?
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Oh no, no, no, no you do like is he
Matthew Ringo?
Speaker 3 (27:22):
That's probably not right. Good question.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
What's your comp there, Matthew, Mark Luke and John Who's
Ringo Star?
Speaker 1 (27:27):
There are people that are hardcore church goers listening to
this like you boys been I go to church every week,
and I said, we are having a great time. Better
be careful boys. Anyway, all right, we got another hour
for you. We're gonna have a lot of fun. All good,
all fun. You have a fun. Matt I'm having a
great time. I'm having a great time too. We got
