Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, rip van Winkle over here, Yeah, something like that. Hey,
happy to be here, thanks for listening being a part
of the show. I had a guy who says, I'm
a south Omaha boy. How does the thousand dollars cash
giveaway work? I know you all have a keyword and
I go to enter it in. Do I have to
enter it in the moment it said? Or do I
have up until just before the next keyword? I'm assuming
(00:21):
there's a short period of time to enter it. And
then how do you know if you win? Thanks? This
is important information. So Matt haat is it work?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Can I give them the best case scenario and then
kind of just describe vaguely how it generally works.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yeah, you do that, and then I'll fill in the gaps.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Okay, Ideally you want to get in your car, drive
to Milwaukee, Okay now, and put the keyword in while
you're there so that you can register it as a
Milwaukee and do that. No, no, no, no, And I
won't expound further because that's risky territory. I understand it.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Oh. Matt is commenting on the fact that there just
does seem there does to be just an unusual amount
of winners every single time we do this contest in
the Milwaukee area. There is is and it's true.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
You gonna let those badgers take all your cash?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Well what if they're what if they're not badgers? What
if they're worse? Or are they packer fans?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Well they can be both. I hate that one plays
on Saturday, the other plays on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I do like the Milwaukee Bucks though, whatever it's worth.
I don't know why. It's because they have a deer
as their maskot and I like that deer.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
The deer.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah. Anyway, the way it actually works is you listen
to the word. My impression is when you hear the word,
you have the entire hour up until fifty five past
to get that word in. Oh, so, at like fifty
five they shut the book on that to end the
that hour's entries.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
And then old Darlene from Milwaukee does the calling. No no, no,
and she usually scrolls through her contacts to see who wins,
and then if they're not in the contact book and
the Milwaukee proper, then she might venture outside the.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
That's that's not how it works, so you will not
know who the call comes from. It used to come
from a Cincinnati area code five to one to three,
but five to one to three, it goes up to
five till you can put the keyword in that entire time.
And then the way you'll know if you win. You
got to go to kfab dot com. By the way,
there's a box that shows up you put the keyword in.
You have to have an iHeart account. It's free to have.
(02:16):
We just need to know how to reach you. If
you do win and an unknown it should come across
is unknown or restricted. It won't show you what the
number is. But if you're playing this contest and you
get a phone call sometime in the first you know,
fifteen minutes of the following hour, I'd be picking the
phone up. That would be That would be my like,
if you're playing this contest, you're gonna need to answer
a phone call that's coming from a restricted or an
(02:37):
unknown number. And then you'll answer the phone. They'll say, hey,
you just one a thousand dollars with iHeartRadio, and then
you get to celebrate a thousand bucks. How cool is that? Right?
Isn't that what we want?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
So I appreciate this guy for asking us, because some
people just they don't know how it works now. I
did get another email here from Lucas. Lucas says, Hey,
I was just wondering if during your show today or
in the near future, you could cover the June budget surplus.
It's supposedly the first time since Clinton we've had a
month in a surplus. I feel like this is a
(03:10):
really big deal, but I feel like it's hardly being
mentioned by the media from what I've seen. Just curious
to get your opinion on it. Maybe you've already talked
about it when I wasn't tuned in sometime. Either way,
I have a good show and the good rest of
the day. Well, thank you, Lucas. I'm going to do
the best that I can. I did see this a
few days ago the Treasury Department Friday, as we were
heading into the weekend, of course, and I'm a comment
(03:33):
on news cycle and news droppings and how certain news
items are dropped at various points with the intent not
necessarily to hide it, but to kind of tuck it
in so people can't really see what's going on. According
to the Treasury Department on Friday, the government saw a
surplus of twenty seven billion dollars in the month of June.
(03:54):
That means we made twenty seven billion dollars in June.
Isn't that interesting? Our government was able to get in
the black for a thirty day month. Impressive? Are you impressed?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
What are we gonna do with it?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Well, it's kind of exciting, right, You're like, you're interested?
Is like, wow? Surplus? Do I mean we could lose
some of our tax money? Does that mean the government
can pay for stuff without us needing to pay more
money to them? Could this be the answer to like
a state property tax thing if certain states are able
to qualify for some governmental sup supplementarian gifts.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
But this doesn't include all the spending from the you
know that big bill.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Well, hold on, let's not even think about what the
bill's going to do. Let's look at what May did
so not last month, but two months ago. You want
to know what the deficit was in May, three hundred
and sixteen billion dollars. So realistically, if we're gonna line
this up, don't you think if we were doing the
budget ourselves, like you and me, like you and me
had to do a budget and we had to try
to you know, like be in the black and not
(04:55):
have too much debt. So what are you paying for Netflix?
You're paying for your internet, You're paying for your your
trash and your electricity. I don't pay for Netflix, but
yes everything else. You got a car, You got a
car payment that you probably have. I got student loan
payments that I'm still making. You know, like like think
about all the different you know, ranked mortgage, whichever one
(05:16):
of those I pay for YouTube TV. You know, there
are different things on a month to month basis that
we all know we're on the hook for, right that
just we we just have to set aside and know
that that's how much money of like that that is
coming out now when we do that, we are thinking
about Okay, so let's say on in May, we dipped
a little too much into the spending. We went out
(05:38):
to eat a few too many times. Maybe we went
on a vacation. Maybe we saw a few more movies
than usual. Maybe we went to a sporting event that
costs some money. Or Taylor Swift was in town and
you know, we spent two thousand dollars to go see
her play whatever. And then we look at our report
and our budget and it says we're in the red
twenty five hundred bucks. I mean for a regular family,
(06:01):
that's that's a pretty big deal. Twenty five hundred dollars.
We didn't balance the budget by that much. That's not good.
You know, I don't want to be indebted to the
credit card companies for that amount. So you know what
you do is you try to spend less in June.
So we do that with the same kind of expenses,
but we don't have all the extra expenses. We work hard,
we just don't go out to eat, don't go on
to vacation, and all of a sudden, it's like, hey,
(06:23):
you just made twelve hundred dollars in the black this month,
so we made twelve hundred more than we lost. Well,
you know how this works. The fact that I was
twenty five hundred dollars into the red last month. I
just got to take that twelve hundred dollars, suck it up,
and put that toward that twenty five hundred dollars I
owe somebody, right, that's what I anticipate. A lot of
this is right. You can get a government surplus, and
(06:45):
it is a big deal. And I'm thankful for Lucas
to bringing this back up, and because it should be
talked about, but you're going to need a year of
surplus for really the needle from a media perspective to move.
This is the first surplus sense gets when it wasn't Clinton.
It was June of twenty seventeen, Donald Trump's first year
(07:05):
of his first term, and so this actually is last
time that had happened. So it's been that long. And
the fiscal year today defisit is one point three four
trillion dollars. So we'll see what happens. This could be
something that could be more normalized with tariffs. This could
(07:25):
be something that's more normalized with some of the adjustments
made to who is and isn't working in the federal government.
This could have something to be noted with any sort
of trade deals that could occur with other nations around
the world. You want to know, remember the Saudi Arabians
had a six hundred billion dollar deal that they were
given US, and one hundred and forty two of it
(07:47):
was for defenses. We just found out yesterday that Donald
Trump is going to be okaying the purchase of American
weapons with the idea that those will be taken by
European countries in NATO to funnel other weapons to Ukraine.
So that's gonna be money in America's pocket. This is
now running a bit more like a business. It is
a big deal that we did have a government surplus
(08:10):
at the federal level last month. I would say it's
an infinitely bigger deal. If we had two or three
months in a row of government surplus, can we get there?
Would that happen? I'm not one hundred percent sure, but
you gotta start somewhere. It's too eighteen. If you got
thoughts on this, you can call me at four h
two five five eight eleven ten. Four oh two five
five eight eleven ten. You're listening to news radio eleven
(08:32):
ten KFAB and.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
He's telling, well, who's who am I? Garth?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
You have to be Garth. You're wearing the glasses.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I'll take it because I think that Dana Carvey is
a little slept on.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Oh he's way slept on. He's not even kind to
say he's a mattress. He's he's he's way slept on.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
It never gets enough love his Joe Biden recently on
SNL Oh, yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
One of the best impression. It's out there and I've
feel like you wouldn't put him in that list because
he'd forget about it.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
He's so funny because he's always the second or third guy.
He's like the one time he was like the star.
Was this The Master of Disguise, which was trying to
lean in to him being this great, you know, guy
in disguise, and nobody really liked it. It was panned,
it was not well reviewed.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Well, and and we all have those moments. I suppose, like.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Scotti Pipten trying to be the best guy on a
championship basketball team. It wasn't to be. But man, it's
a second guy, he's the best.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
But that was that was quite the trio they had
there in Chicago. You're talking to Michael Scottie Dennis.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
In this That was a second three p right now.
I'm just looking at this right like I'm I'm I'm
not saying anything is bad about Dana Carvey being a
lead guy. I'm just saying it just hasn't worked. Rotten Tomatoes,
what do you think Ron Tomatoes thought about the Master
of Disguise.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Oh, it's not going to be very friendly to it,
I would say, so critics. So is that that's the
critics score?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah? Critics liked it out of one hundred and five
review only one percent, So that's like one, that's just
that's one of the one hundred and five people said
it was good.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Okay, I wonder who that guy or gal is.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I'm sure we could find it.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, I'd love to see that.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
And then thirty seven percent on the popcorno meter, which
is the people that's the one with that said the
turtle thing, right, Yeah, he did the turtle.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Turtle turtle turtle turtle.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Critics consistence an ill conceived attempt to utilize data Carvey's
talent for mimicry. A Master of this Guy's is an
irritating and witless farce weighted down by sophomoric gags. And
that's like the one big movie that he did as
like the lead guy. But Wayne's World's great, So milliwak,
there you go.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
You know, maybe we were a little saturated by sophomore
at gags at that time. I would say these days
were a little undersaturated. If a Master of Disguise came
out these days, it would be overly appreciated because it's
just not a whole lot of sophomore gags to go around.
What do you mean no movies. I'm talking movies. It's
just not a whole lot of comedy movies going out
these days.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Happy Yellwar comes down in two weeks.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Well, we'll see if people like it.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Everyone's gonna like it. If you don't like Happy Gilmore too,
you just don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I'm not super stoked about it.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I just kind of like and I'm Saandlor's awesome. Yeah,
he's great. I was watching fifty First States last night.
He's like dang man, the writing hits and all of
his boys are in those shows. Every movie he's got
his dudes in them. This guy does not care. He
is gonna bring his friends with him on every project
and it's gonna work.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
There was a moment, it seems like, in his career
where he just decided, I'm just gonna dress like I'm
headed to a pickup basketball game every single day of
my life, and then I'm gonna have every single one
of my movies be some sort of vacation flick so
that I can just basically go on vacation all the time.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
And he might work for him and my friends. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Right, with his friends, and so I think people see
that and they're like, man, that guy's got life figured out.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
He's basically maximized every part of the of the best
parts of his life and he's doing that every day.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, but I bet he's miserable.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
No, he's not. No, that's a guy that's like, I
think very openly, he's having a great time.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
And then the Superman movie that's out. Have you seen
what people are saying about that, Like, sorta it's gotten
a little political with the way people are talking about it,
because like, this is the story of a man who's
an immigrant, which I guess is technically true because he's
an alien and not like an alien in like a
(12:27):
foreign migrant illegal alien way. He's quite literally an alien.
Superman is an alien. Nay, we forget. The whole point
is that this guy is from a planet that got
blowed up and his parents were able to get him
in a spaceship to get him away from the blow up,
being the blowing up planet, and then he lands and
(12:47):
gets adopted by the Clark or the Kent family. They
name him Clark, and he learns Midwestern core values while
happening to have all these superpowers as he grows up,
and he also kind of looks like a man guy.
But by the way, the h I'm not telling anybody
not to go see this, because if you're a big
action person or a big superhero movie fan, like this
(13:09):
is something that maybe you'd really enjoy. It just feels
like some of the critics just see every other major
superhero movie of the last ten years in this movie,
and I feel like there's a real fatigue setting in
with these kinds of movies, you know what I mean.
So if you're a big Superman fan, should see it.
I'm not sure if you're not going to see all
the new Marvel movies, maybe not. It makes sense that
I ticulate that, well, you should just go see it.
(13:31):
I mean, come on, it's a movie. This didn't you
think you'll like it, go see it. And if you
don't like it, okay, no big deal. It's a couple
hours long. Yeah, it's a good action flick going there
with the right attitude. Don't make it political. It doesn't
have to be political unless the plot is political, which
I do not know, but I haven't heard anybody saying that.
But yeah, So it starts from the beginning, which you know,
(13:54):
like how many Superman things really do start on Krypton
before it blows up, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
So, oh, so the movie starts with him on Krypton. Yeah,
and he's a baby.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
So you get to see his parents, yeah, and you
get to see what life was like there. So they
all have superpowers on Krypton.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Eh, yeah, I mean that's how I understand it.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
But yeah, so that doesn't make sense though, because if
he's around Kryptonite, he loses his power. So they should
be all regular people on Krypton.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Right, But then they're not because well, yeah, you're probably right.
They probably would be more regular on Krypton. But then
once they go to Earth, like he goes to Earth
and he becomes a superhero. By the way, do you
know who is two? Uh parents are when he lands.
I hate to ruin this for you, but you can
find it anywhere you're in America. Yeah, so the Kents,
you know who the Kens are that adopted Kansas, right, Yeah,
I have no idea. Kevin Costner and Diane Lane, who's
(14:43):
I don't know who Diane Lane is. Okay, well you
know Kevin Costner is. Yeah, he's his dad in the movie.
And you know who Joe l is his biological father,
Russell Crowe. So I got a great cats for this.
I don't care what this the critics say. If you
think Superman's cool, then you should go see this all right? Anyway,
gotta go to a break when we come back. It's
(15:04):
one of those things that maybe you'd like to be
a part of the conversation. Feel free. Emory at kfab
dot com is the email Emory at kfab dot com,
especially if you've seen that Superman movie. I'd love for
you to give me a note or call in, you know.
Four h two five five eight eleven ten. Four two
five five eight eleven ten. What are you looking at?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Those three were also in the twenty thirteen movie Is
this like? Is this a continuation of that one?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I was not under the impression of that it was.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
She Diane Lane played Martha Kent in the twenty thirteen
movie Man of Steel. Kevin Costner played Johnathan.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Oh, I'm looking at the wrong movie.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Okay, I just wanted to check.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, this movie is called Superman.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
And Man of Steel is twenty thirteen.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
No, yeah, Man of Steel. I'm getting Man of Steel
and Superman mixed up.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
It's easy to do. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
They still have a good cast here, I mean Nicholas Holt.
So so yeah, if you want to see the origin story,
it's Man of Steel. If you want to see the
new Superman, it's called Superman. I'm an idiot. You should
have just punched me in a face.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I won't do that.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Go to go by a mountain dew, maybe I'll wake
up a little bit. Yeah. So everything that I just
said about the cast and stuff, I was like, Wow,
there's a lot of cool people in the same day.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Who plays Russell Crow in twenty thirteen plays the same character.
It's Bradley Cooper in this one. So that's a pretty
big name.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, and you are right, this is a sequel to
that movie. Okay, so you are right. Okay, there we
go learning about the Superman movie on the fly.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Here.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
It just comes a lot of years after they made
the first one. So there you go. All right, here
we go. Let's uh, let's do it Superman in theaters.
If you've seen it, call me four h two five
five eight eleven ten, News Radio eleven ten kfab And
speaking of food, there's a recall out. Just something to
keep in mind, looks like we have different recalls that
(16:43):
the FDA is called back because of small plastics in
the actual like thing micro plastics something like that. Remember
what was that? What were we talking about with microplastics?
You know last week of the week.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
You were saying microplastics was I was a joke though, right.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, I mean it became a joke. I'm sure it
was started with a serious topic of conversation.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I honestly don't even remember me either.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yo Crunch it's a yogurt product that has M and
ms oreos and snickers, but pieces also could have plastic
in them. So don't like if you know yo crunch
and they've recalled their yo crunch yogurt, and yeah, be
on the lookout for that. If you're going out and
you're buying a bunch of stuff, how often do you
worry about it containing things that aren't good for you?
(17:30):
Or sorry, if is there like a way that you
track like the stuff that you are eating. Because we're
hearing so much about food dies and like food dies
being like banned or pulled out of these food products,
a bunch of ice cream makers have decided they're gonna
pull the food die out. Is that gonna make a
big difference in the taste? Why was it in there
in the first place if it was harmful for us?
Do we have a good answer to that or are
(17:52):
we just gonna be like relying on the scientists again
to tell us what is or isn't good for us.
That's the one thing that got us in trouble during
the pandemic, right, It's just like people felt like they
couldn't trust the people that we thought knew all this stuff.
But do we know this stuff either? How much college
do you have to go to to be able to
make yo crunch yogurt with M and M's or oreos
(18:12):
or Snickers chunks in there? It feels like it's a
pretty easy thing to like make up.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
So it's like fruit at the bottom yogurt, but instead
of fruit, it's so it's almost like a it's almost
like a blizzard but yeah, or a concrete what you
might get, or like a mcflurry but with yogurt.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yeah, okay, yeah, exactly what it is. But apparently this brand,
they say that they've voluntarily recalled it because they think
there's a chance that some of them have had plastic
in them.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Maybe what they did was when they were adding the
M and m's to the batch, they forgot to take
them out of the bag. They just put the whole
bag in and it just got all turned up. One
small oversight.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You know, I think that's a little bit more than
a small oversight.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
The peanut butter cup still had the cup in it.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
That wouldn't be good. You know, paper You can eat paper?
Oh yeah, I think so. Have I been sleeping on paper? No,
I wouldn't. Wouldn't recommend it. Okay, but I think you
can like it doesn't it won't, won't wreck you.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I don't think that's a real power move when you
when you're out at a restaurant, you know, just eat
the napkin when you're done and stare at the person
who you're with the whole time, eye contact locked in,
and then see who pays the bill, okay, to see
who pays the bill after that.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Paper is primarily composed of cellulose, which is harmless. Newspaper
print other types of ink are non toxic, and small
amounts as well, but uh yeah, probably not recommended. It
is undigestible for whatever it's worth. Like, you can eat
it and you can swallow it, but your body is
likely not to be able to digest like the wood paper,
(19:49):
so you will unless you're a beaver. If you're a
beaver listening to this, there's a chance that you can
eat this and uh, you know, be sustained by paper.
But uh yeah, wood fiber that you know, wood fiber
like you know paper made from wood and made from trees. Uh,
you can't digest it. You can eat it, it won't
(20:09):
hurt you, but it'll just have to you know, like
when your dog eats, you know, something in the trash
and you just kind of have to wait it out
and it's probably gonna still be pretty.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Intact, find it out in the yard later.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, But it's not going to poison you.
This is the point. And you know, if you eat
like it says newspaper, if you eat newspaper, uh, the
print like the ink that is non toxic. Also it
might give you a weird taste, but if you really
needed to, you know, just have something to sustain yourself,
even though it's unlikely to you know, be digestible. Well,
there you go. So I don't know eating paper, uh
(20:43):
in plastic that you didn't know that was going to be.
You know, when you get asked when you're checking out
at your local grocery store they say paper are plastic,
and you're like, uh, paper, Well, have you ever thought
about maybe the ingesting like a paper Like paper you
can actually like, uh, you know, they won't kill you
accidentally ingest that. But when you got plastics like this
(21:03):
yogurt product, that is going to change the game. Not good.
If you've got some thoughts on this, or you have
been the victim of a recall for foods anytime in
your life, which I find to be kind of fascinating,
if you would like to call in and chat with
us about it, you can four oh two five five
eight to eleven ten News Radio eleven ten KFAB. Oh Marine,
that's no good. We don't want that, but it got
us to kind of talking about keeping an eye on
(21:25):
our food products and recalls in general. Phones are open
if you'd like to chat. Four two five five eight
eleven ten. Four oh two five five eight eleven ten. Hey,
we got Joy on the line. Joy, welcome to our
show today at eleven ten KFAB.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Thank you for taking my call. I there's several reasons
that they're trying to take food dies out of our food.
In other countries they are not even allowed because they're
so toxic. The dies themselves can cause learning disabilities, cause
children and to be anxious to not be you know.
(22:01):
They they affect things in the body. Different countries are
like Canada, they won't even accept their food with the
food die in them because they know what they're harmful. Yeah,
and so that's why they're trying to get them out.
They've used them for years to entice us to eat
certain products and be more like food loots. They got
(22:22):
it all colorful.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
So your kids want to eat it, sure.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
And it's all those dyes cause problems for your child
and you as an adult also.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Yeah, So so do you think you know, First of all,
this makes sense because like you said, there's got to
be a reason the other countries don't do it the
same way as we do. But why was this not
talked about until now?
Speaker 3 (22:45):
It has been talked about.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
It's been hushed because of business, I'm guessing, right, Like
I mean, yeah, they just want.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
They didn't want you to know that they're poisoning you with.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Your food because because they want you to buy the food. Right,
it's just like, hey, I want you to buy it. Yeah, yeah,
look how cool this food looks. You're gonna want to
eat this. It looks delicious, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Yes. And so it's the same thing with the preservatives
they put in our food. And think ninety nine percent
of our food doesn't need any of this stuff. Yeah,
and you know it's the longer the shelf life or
whatever it is. It's harmful to us. And so we
have to be aware of what we're eating. And it
seems so silly that we should have to worry about
(23:26):
our food to that degree. Yeah, but they're like the
red dye the yellow dye. They both have distinct problems
and they know what they are. And that's why, like Europe,
you can go out there and clean eat all you
want because they won't allow it. They don't even allow
GMOs in the food.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah, I noticed that when I was over there. It's
just like the food is so different. The way they
handle the minisoda is different. I mean, the soda tastes
incredibly different. I mean I went to a McDonald's in
Spain and the menu was almost not even close to
the same like they had just they're completely different products. Available.
It's just very strange.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
How they will not allow anything that's not real.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
It's crazy. Joy, this is good, a great conversation. Thanks
what you're calling us?
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Uh? Yeah, that great, great stuff there. I had trace
in me this. He said, you need to go on
CROC and say, recall frequency, Grock, recall frequency in the
United States. Do you want to do this? You're you're
the grock man.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I could, but really quickly I was falling down a
rabbit hole while Joy was talking. There and a lot
of ideas and thoughts and conjecture on what Joy was saying.
But one thing I can say this, Boy, this is interesting.
Maybe people already knew this, maybe I'm just learning it.
But you know the a common dye red forty Yeah,
I've heard that. You know what it's derived from. Uh
(24:41):
it's a synthetic food coloring.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Eh.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
It's made from petroleum oil.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Red food dye is made out of petroleum Yep. That
the oil.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yeah, crude oil.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
What. Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
We're eating that? Why?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Because it makes it look red? And that's what they want.
They want they want the fruit loops. They want the
red cherry flavor fruit loops to look very bright red.
It's made from petroleum crude oil. Well, I won't look
at a red fruit loop the same. That is weird,
isn't it. Is that why we're so fat in this country.
That's a that's a loaded question. There's a lot, there's
a lot of factors that play there. I was.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I have to say this again. I was in the
Netherlands this year. I did not see a single person
who was a native that I would consider overweight for
whatever reason, whether it's the food, whether it's they bike everywhere,
whether it's they have a lot most of the cities
are walkable. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Maybe they just don't have funnel cake. Well, I'm they
have treats. They have a lot of treats.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
It was streets. I'm not trying to give anybody extra
business here, but it was potato oles for me.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Oh those are so good.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
That's what did me. And it was one summer of
potato olays and I'm still trying to work it off.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Dude, potato ols though, whatever they put on those things,
with or without cheese.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
You want to be something that probably derives from petroleum.
Let's be honest. Potato oles, but man, they're good. Oh
they don't come on, they don't right, they're potatoes.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yeah, they're pretty oily. Well like they got greace. I
mean a lot of these fast food joints. I mean
they basically what's the grease budget for some of these places?
That'd be what I would like to know. But whatever
it is about Europe and especially I didn't notice it
as much in Spain, and maybe I was just not
paying close enough attention, or maybe there is a ton
of terror of tourists, not terrorists, tourists around Spain that
(26:24):
you know, I got duped by. But when I was
in the Netherlands, I just cannot believe how many people
just like they just all seem to be in good
physical health.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Yeah, you kind of got it in countries like that.
You got to go off the grid a little bit
into the normal living spaces, and I think you'll see
Netherlands for the reality of it, that's my guess.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Well, I don't know. I mean I went to like
four different cities and I still felt like, Hey, a
lot of these people are in shape. You're not seeing
large people who I mean, everybody there basically has the
ability to ride a bike or to walk you know,
down the street to do whatever they want to do,
and they don't care about it. This is an interesting
conversation if you'd like to keep it up. If you
got some recall I did Grock re all information, it's
a long list. We'll talk about that and we will
(27:04):
chat about it. So call me at four oh two,
five five eight eleven ten four oh two, five five
eight eleven, ten, News Radio eleven ten kfa B
Well, rip van Winkle over here, Yeah, something like that. Hey,
happy to be here, thanks for listening being a part
of the show. I had a guy who says, I'm
a south Omaha boy. How does the thousand dollars cash
giveaway work? I know you all have a keyword and
I go to enter it in. Do I have to
enter it in the moment it said? Or do I
have up until just before the next keyword? I'm assuming
(00:21):
there's a short period of time to enter it. And
then how do you know if you win? Thanks? This
is important information. So Matt haat is it work?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Can I give them the best case scenario and then
kind of just describe vaguely how it generally works.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yeah, you do that, and then I'll fill in the gaps.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Okay, Ideally you want to get in your car, drive
to Milwaukee, Okay now, and put the keyword in while
you're there so that you can register it as a
Milwaukee and do that. No, no, no, no, And I
won't expound further because that's risky territory. I understand it.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Oh. Matt is commenting on the fact that there just
does seem there does to be just an unusual amount
of winners every single time we do this contest in
the Milwaukee area. There is is and it's true.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
You gonna let those badgers take all your cash?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Well what if they're what if they're not badgers? What
if they're worse? Or are they packer fans?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Well they can be both. I hate that one plays
on Saturday, the other plays on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I do like the Milwaukee Bucks though, whatever it's worth.
I don't know why. It's because they have a deer
as their maskot and I like that deer.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
The deer.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah. Anyway, the way it actually works is you listen
to the word. My impression is when you hear the word,
you have the entire hour up until fifty five past
to get that word in. Oh, so, at like fifty
five they shut the book on that to end the
that hour's entries.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
And then old Darlene from Milwaukee does the calling. No no, no,
and she usually scrolls through her contacts to see who wins,
and then if they're not in the contact book and
the Milwaukee proper, then she might venture outside the.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
That's that's not how it works, so you will not
know who the call comes from. It used to come
from a Cincinnati area code five to one to three,
but five to one to three, it goes up to
five till you can put the keyword in that entire time.
And then the way you'll know if you win. You
got to go to kfab dot com. By the way,
there's a box that shows up you put the keyword in.
You have to have an iHeart account. It's free to have.
(02:16):
We just need to know how to reach you. If
you do win and an unknown it should come across
is unknown or restricted. It won't show you what the
number is. But if you're playing this contest and you
get a phone call sometime in the first you know,
fifteen minutes of the following hour, I'd be picking the
phone up. That would be That would be my like,
if you're playing this contest, you're gonna need to answer
a phone call that's coming from a restricted or an
(02:37):
unknown number. And then you'll answer the phone. They'll say, hey,
you just one a thousand dollars with iHeartRadio, and then
you get to celebrate a thousand bucks. How cool is that? Right?
Isn't that what we want?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
So I appreciate this guy for asking us, because some
people just they don't know how it works now. I
did get another email here from Lucas. Lucas says, Hey,
I was just wondering if during your show today or
in the near future, you could cover the June budget surplus.
It's supposedly the first time since Clinton we've had a
month in a surplus. I feel like this is a
(03:10):
really big deal, but I feel like it's hardly being
mentioned by the media from what I've seen. Just curious
to get your opinion on it. Maybe you've already talked
about it when I wasn't tuned in sometime. Either way,
I have a good show and the good rest of
the day. Well, thank you, Lucas. I'm going to do
the best that I can. I did see this a
few days ago the Treasury Department Friday, as we were
heading into the weekend, of course, and I'm a comment
(03:33):
on news cycle and news droppings and how certain news
items are dropped at various points with the intent not
necessarily to hide it, but to kind of tuck it
in so people can't really see what's going on. According
to the Treasury Department on Friday, the government saw a
surplus of twenty seven billion dollars in the month of June.
(03:54):
That means we made twenty seven billion dollars in June.
Isn't that interesting? Our government was able to get in
the black for a thirty day month. Impressive? Are you impressed?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
What are we gonna do with it?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Well, it's kind of exciting, right, You're like, you're interested?
Is like, wow? Surplus? Do I mean we could lose
some of our tax money? Does that mean the government
can pay for stuff without us needing to pay more
money to them? Could this be the answer to like
a state property tax thing if certain states are able
to qualify for some governmental sup supplementarian gifts.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
But this doesn't include all the spending from the you
know that big bill.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Well, hold on, let's not even think about what the
bill's going to do. Let's look at what May did
so not last month, but two months ago. You want
to know what the deficit was in May, three hundred
and sixteen billion dollars. So realistically, if we're gonna line
this up, don't you think if we were doing the
budget ourselves, like you and me, like you and me
had to do a budget and we had to try
to you know, like be in the black and not
(04:55):
have too much debt. So what are you paying for Netflix?
You're paying for your internet, You're paying for your your
trash and your electricity. I don't pay for Netflix, but
yes everything else. You got a car, You got a
car payment that you probably have. I got student loan
payments that I'm still making. You know, like like think
about all the different you know, ranked mortgage, whichever one
(05:16):
of those I pay for YouTube TV. You know, there
are different things on a month to month basis that
we all know we're on the hook for, right that
just we we just have to set aside and know
that that's how much money of like that that is
coming out now when we do that, we are thinking
about Okay, so let's say on in May, we dipped
a little too much into the spending. We went out
(05:38):
to eat a few too many times. Maybe we went
on a vacation. Maybe we saw a few more movies
than usual. Maybe we went to a sporting event that
costs some money. Or Taylor Swift was in town and
you know, we spent two thousand dollars to go see
her play whatever. And then we look at our report
and our budget and it says we're in the red
twenty five hundred bucks. I mean for a regular family,
(06:01):
that's that's a pretty big deal. Twenty five hundred dollars.
We didn't balance the budget by that much. That's not good.
You know, I don't want to be indebted to the
credit card companies for that amount. So you know what
you do is you try to spend less in June.
So we do that with the same kind of expenses,
but we don't have all the extra expenses. We work hard,
we just don't go out to eat, don't go on
to vacation, and all of a sudden, it's like, hey,
(06:23):
you just made twelve hundred dollars in the black this month,
so we made twelve hundred more than we lost. Well,
you know how this works. The fact that I was
twenty five hundred dollars into the red last month. I
just got to take that twelve hundred dollars, suck it up,
and put that toward that twenty five hundred dollars I
owe somebody, right, that's what I anticipate. A lot of
this is right. You can get a government surplus, and
(06:45):
it is a big deal. And I'm thankful for Lucas
to bringing this back up, and because it should be
talked about, but you're going to need a year of
surplus for really the needle from a media perspective to move.
This is the first surplus sense gets when it wasn't Clinton.
It was June of twenty seventeen, Donald Trump's first year
(07:05):
of his first term, and so this actually is last
time that had happened. So it's been that long. And
the fiscal year today defisit is one point three four
trillion dollars. So we'll see what happens. This could be
something that could be more normalized with tariffs. This could
(07:25):
be something that's more normalized with some of the adjustments
made to who is and isn't working in the federal government.
This could have something to be noted with any sort
of trade deals that could occur with other nations around
the world. You want to know, remember the Saudi Arabians
had a six hundred billion dollar deal that they were
given US, and one hundred and forty two of it
(07:47):
was for defenses. We just found out yesterday that Donald
Trump is going to be okaying the purchase of American
weapons with the idea that those will be taken by
European countries in NATO to funnel other weapons to Ukraine.
So that's gonna be money in America's pocket. This is
now running a bit more like a business. It is
a big deal that we did have a government surplus
(08:10):
at the federal level last month. I would say it's
an infinitely bigger deal. If we had two or three
months in a row of government surplus, can we get there?
Would that happen? I'm not one hundred percent sure, but
you gotta start somewhere. It's too eighteen. If you got
thoughts on this, you can call me at four h
two five five eight eleven ten. Four oh two five
five eight eleven ten. You're listening to news radio eleven
(08:32):
ten KFAB and.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
He's telling, well, who's who am I? Garth?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
You have to be Garth. You're wearing the glasses.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I'll take it because I think that Dana Carvey is
a little slept on.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Oh he's way slept on. He's not even kind to
say he's a mattress. He's he's he's way slept on.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
It never gets enough love his Joe Biden recently on
SNL Oh, yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
One of the best impression. It's out there and I've
feel like you wouldn't put him in that list because
he'd forget about it.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
He's so funny because he's always the second or third guy.
He's like the one time he was like the star.
Was this The Master of Disguise, which was trying to
lean in to him being this great, you know, guy
in disguise, and nobody really liked it. It was panned,
it was not well reviewed.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Well, and and we all have those moments. I suppose, like.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Scotti Pipten trying to be the best guy on a
championship basketball team. It wasn't to be. But man, it's
a second guy, he's the best.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
But that was that was quite the trio they had
there in Chicago. You're talking to Michael Scottie Dennis.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
In this That was a second three p right now.
I'm just looking at this right like I'm I'm I'm
not saying anything is bad about Dana Carvey being a
lead guy. I'm just saying it just hasn't worked. Rotten Tomatoes,
what do you think Ron Tomatoes thought about the Master
of Disguise.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Oh, it's not going to be very friendly to it,
I would say, so critics. So is that that's the
critics score?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah? Critics liked it out of one hundred and five
review only one percent, So that's like one, that's just
that's one of the one hundred and five people said
it was good.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Okay, I wonder who that guy or gal is.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I'm sure we could find it.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, I'd love to see that.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
And then thirty seven percent on the popcorno meter, which
is the people that's the one with that said the
turtle thing, right, Yeah, he did the turtle.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Turtle turtle turtle turtle.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Critics consistence an ill conceived attempt to utilize data Carvey's
talent for mimicry. A Master of this Guy's is an
irritating and witless farce weighted down by sophomoric gags. And
that's like the one big movie that he did as
like the lead guy. But Wayne's World's great, So milliwak,
there you go.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
You know, maybe we were a little saturated by sophomore
at gags at that time. I would say these days
were a little undersaturated. If a Master of Disguise came
out these days, it would be overly appreciated because it's
just not a whole lot of sophomore gags to go around.
What do you mean no movies. I'm talking movies. It's
just not a whole lot of comedy movies going out
these days.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Happy Yellwar comes down in two weeks.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Well, we'll see if people like it.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Everyone's gonna like it. If you don't like Happy Gilmore too,
you just don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I'm not super stoked about it.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I just kind of like and I'm Saandlor's awesome. Yeah,
he's great. I was watching fifty First States last night.
He's like dang man, the writing hits and all of
his boys are in those shows. Every movie he's got
his dudes in them. This guy does not care. He
is gonna bring his friends with him on every project
and it's gonna work.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
There was a moment, it seems like, in his career
where he just decided, I'm just gonna dress like I'm
headed to a pickup basketball game every single day of
my life, and then I'm gonna have every single one
of my movies be some sort of vacation flick so
that I can just basically go on vacation all the time.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
And he might work for him and my friends. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Right, with his friends, and so I think people see
that and they're like, man, that guy's got life figured out.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
He's basically maximized every part of the of the best
parts of his life and he's doing that every day.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, but I bet he's miserable.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
No, he's not. No, that's a guy that's like, I
think very openly, he's having a great time.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
And then the Superman movie that's out. Have you seen
what people are saying about that, Like, sorta it's gotten
a little political with the way people are talking about it,
because like, this is the story of a man who's
an immigrant, which I guess is technically true because he's
an alien and not like an alien in like a
(12:27):
foreign migrant illegal alien way. He's quite literally an alien.
Superman is an alien. Nay, we forget. The whole point
is that this guy is from a planet that got
blowed up and his parents were able to get him
in a spaceship to get him away from the blow up,
being the blowing up planet, and then he lands and
(12:47):
gets adopted by the Clark or the Kent family. They
name him Clark, and he learns Midwestern core values while
happening to have all these superpowers as he grows up,
and he also kind of looks like a man guy.
But by the way, the h I'm not telling anybody
not to go see this, because if you're a big
action person or a big superhero movie fan, like this
(13:09):
is something that maybe you'd really enjoy. It just feels
like some of the critics just see every other major
superhero movie of the last ten years in this movie,
and I feel like there's a real fatigue setting in
with these kinds of movies, you know what I mean.
So if you're a big Superman fan, should see it.
I'm not sure if you're not going to see all
the new Marvel movies, maybe not. It makes sense that
I ticulate that, well, you should just go see it.
(13:31):
I mean, come on, it's a movie. This didn't you
think you'll like it, go see it. And if you
don't like it, okay, no big deal. It's a couple
hours long. Yeah, it's a good action flick going there
with the right attitude. Don't make it political. It doesn't
have to be political unless the plot is political, which
I do not know, but I haven't heard anybody saying that.
But yeah, So it starts from the beginning, which you know,
(13:54):
like how many Superman things really do start on Krypton
before it blows up, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
So, oh, so the movie starts with him on Krypton. Yeah,
and he's a baby.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
So you get to see his parents, yeah, and you
get to see what life was like there. So they
all have superpowers on Krypton.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Eh, yeah, I mean that's how I understand it.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
But yeah, so that doesn't make sense though, because if
he's around Kryptonite, he loses his power. So they should
be all regular people on Krypton.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Right, But then they're not because well, yeah, you're probably right.
They probably would be more regular on Krypton. But then
once they go to Earth, like he goes to Earth
and he becomes a superhero. By the way, do you
know who is two? Uh parents are when he lands.
I hate to ruin this for you, but you can
find it anywhere you're in America. Yeah, so the Kents,
you know who the Kens are that adopted Kansas, right, Yeah,
I have no idea. Kevin Costner and Diane Lane, who's
(14:43):
I don't know who Diane Lane is. Okay, well you
know Kevin Costner is. Yeah, he's his dad in the movie.
And you know who Joe l is his biological father,
Russell Crowe. So I got a great cats for this.
I don't care what this the critics say. If you
think Superman's cool, then you should go see this all right? Anyway,
gotta go to a break when we come back. It's
(15:04):
one of those things that maybe you'd like to be
a part of the conversation. Feel free. Emory at kfab
dot com is the email Emory at kfab dot com,
especially if you've seen that Superman movie. I'd love for
you to give me a note or call in, you know.
Four h two five five eight eleven ten. Four two
five five eight eleven ten. What are you looking at?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Those three were also in the twenty thirteen movie Is
this like? Is this a continuation of that one?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I was not under the impression of that it was.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
She Diane Lane played Martha Kent in the twenty thirteen
movie Man of Steel. Kevin Costner played Johnathan.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Oh, I'm looking at the wrong movie.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Okay, I just wanted to check.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, this movie is called Superman.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
And Man of Steel is twenty thirteen.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
No, yeah, Man of Steel. I'm getting Man of Steel
and Superman mixed up.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
It's easy to do. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
They still have a good cast here, I mean Nicholas Holt.
So so yeah, if you want to see the origin story,
it's Man of Steel. If you want to see the
new Superman, it's called Superman. I'm an idiot. You should
have just punched me in a face.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I won't do that.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Go to go by a mountain dew, maybe I'll wake
up a little bit. Yeah. So everything that I just
said about the cast and stuff, I was like, Wow,
there's a lot of cool people in the same day.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Who plays Russell Crow in twenty thirteen plays the same character.
It's Bradley Cooper in this one. So that's a pretty
big name.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, and you are right, this is a sequel to
that movie. Okay, so you are right. Okay, there we
go learning about the Superman movie on the fly.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Here.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
It just comes a lot of years after they made
the first one. So there you go. All right, here
we go. Let's uh, let's do it Superman in theaters.
If you've seen it, call me four h two five
five eight eleven ten, News Radio eleven ten kfab And
speaking of food, there's a recall out. Just something to
keep in mind, looks like we have different recalls that
(16:43):
the FDA is called back because of small plastics in
the actual like thing micro plastics something like that. Remember
what was that? What were we talking about with microplastics?
You know last week of the week.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
You were saying microplastics was I was a joke though, right.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, I mean it became a joke. I'm sure it
was started with a serious topic of conversation.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I honestly don't even remember me either.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yo Crunch it's a yogurt product that has M and
ms oreos and snickers, but pieces also could have plastic
in them. So don't like if you know yo crunch
and they've recalled their yo crunch yogurt, and yeah, be
on the lookout for that. If you're going out and
you're buying a bunch of stuff, how often do you
worry about it containing things that aren't good for you?
(17:30):
Or sorry, if is there like a way that you
track like the stuff that you are eating. Because we're
hearing so much about food dies and like food dies
being like banned or pulled out of these food products,
a bunch of ice cream makers have decided they're gonna
pull the food die out. Is that gonna make a
big difference in the taste? Why was it in there
in the first place if it was harmful for us?
Do we have a good answer to that or are
(17:52):
we just gonna be like relying on the scientists again
to tell us what is or isn't good for us.
That's the one thing that got us in trouble during
the pandemic, right, It's just like people felt like they
couldn't trust the people that we thought knew all this stuff.
But do we know this stuff either? How much college
do you have to go to to be able to
make yo crunch yogurt with M and M's or oreos
(18:12):
or Snickers chunks in there? It feels like it's a
pretty easy thing to like make up.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
So it's like fruit at the bottom yogurt, but instead
of fruit, it's so it's almost like a it's almost
like a blizzard but yeah, or a concrete what you
might get, or like a mcflurry but with yogurt.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yeah, okay, yeah, exactly what it is. But apparently this brand,
they say that they've voluntarily recalled it because they think
there's a chance that some of them have had plastic
in them.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Maybe what they did was when they were adding the
M and m's to the batch, they forgot to take
them out of the bag. They just put the whole
bag in and it just got all turned up. One
small oversight.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You know, I think that's a little bit more than
a small oversight.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
The peanut butter cup still had the cup in it.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
That wouldn't be good. You know, paper You can eat paper?
Oh yeah, I think so. Have I been sleeping on paper? No,
I wouldn't. Wouldn't recommend it. Okay, but I think you
can like it doesn't it won't, won't wreck you.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I don't think that's a real power move when you
when you're out at a restaurant, you know, just eat
the napkin when you're done and stare at the person
who you're with the whole time, eye contact locked in,
and then see who pays the bill, okay, to see
who pays the bill after that.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Paper is primarily composed of cellulose, which is harmless. Newspaper
print other types of ink are non toxic, and small
amounts as well, but uh yeah, probably not recommended. It
is undigestible for whatever it's worth. Like, you can eat
it and you can swallow it, but your body is
likely not to be able to digest like the wood paper,
(19:49):
so you will unless you're a beaver. If you're a
beaver listening to this, there's a chance that you can
eat this and uh, you know, be sustained by paper.
But uh yeah, wood fiber that you know, wood fiber
like you know paper made from wood and made from trees. Uh,
you can't digest it. You can eat it, it won't
(20:09):
hurt you, but it'll just have to you know, like
when your dog eats, you know, something in the trash
and you just kind of have to wait it out
and it's probably gonna still be pretty.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Intact, find it out in the yard later.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, But it's not going to poison you.
This is the point. And you know, if you eat
like it says newspaper, if you eat newspaper, uh, the
print like the ink that is non toxic. Also it
might give you a weird taste, but if you really
needed to, you know, just have something to sustain yourself,
even though it's unlikely to you know, be digestible. Well,
there you go. So I don't know eating paper, uh
(20:43):
in plastic that you didn't know that was going to be.
You know, when you get asked when you're checking out
at your local grocery store they say paper are plastic,
and you're like, uh, paper, Well, have you ever thought
about maybe the ingesting like a paper Like paper you
can actually like, uh, you know, they won't kill you
accidentally ingest that. But when you got plastics like this
(21:03):
yogurt product, that is going to change the game. Not good.
If you've got some thoughts on this, or you have
been the victim of a recall for foods anytime in
your life, which I find to be kind of fascinating,
if you would like to call in and chat with
us about it, you can four oh two five five
eight to eleven ten News Radio eleven ten KFAB. Oh Marine,
that's no good. We don't want that, but it got
us to kind of talking about keeping an eye on
(21:25):
our food products and recalls in general. Phones are open
if you'd like to chat. Four two five five eight
eleven ten. Four oh two five five eight eleven ten. Hey,
we got Joy on the line. Joy, welcome to our
show today at eleven ten KFAB.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Thank you for taking my call. I there's several reasons
that they're trying to take food dies out of our food.
In other countries they are not even allowed because they're
so toxic. The dies themselves can cause learning disabilities, cause
children and to be anxious to not be you know.
(22:01):
They they affect things in the body. Different countries are
like Canada, they won't even accept their food with the
food die in them because they know what they're harmful. Yeah,
and so that's why they're trying to get them out.
They've used them for years to entice us to eat
certain products and be more like food loots. They got
(22:22):
it all colorful.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
So your kids want to eat it, sure.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
And it's all those dyes cause problems for your child
and you as an adult also.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Yeah, So so do you think you know, First of all,
this makes sense because like you said, there's got to
be a reason the other countries don't do it the
same way as we do. But why was this not
talked about until now?
Speaker 3 (22:45):
It has been talked about.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
It's been hushed because of business, I'm guessing, right, Like
I mean, yeah, they just want.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
They didn't want you to know that they're poisoning you with.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Your food because because they want you to buy the food. Right,
it's just like, hey, I want you to buy it. Yeah, yeah,
look how cool this food looks. You're gonna want to
eat this. It looks delicious, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Yes. And so it's the same thing with the preservatives
they put in our food. And think ninety nine percent
of our food doesn't need any of this stuff. Yeah,
and you know it's the longer the shelf life or
whatever it is. It's harmful to us. And so we
have to be aware of what we're eating. And it
seems so silly that we should have to worry about
(23:26):
our food to that degree. Yeah, but they're like the
red dye the yellow dye. They both have distinct problems
and they know what they are. And that's why, like Europe,
you can go out there and clean eat all you
want because they won't allow it. They don't even allow
GMOs in the food.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah, I noticed that when I was over there. It's
just like the food is so different. The way they
handle the minisoda is different. I mean, the soda tastes
incredibly different. I mean I went to a McDonald's in
Spain and the menu was almost not even close to
the same like they had just they're completely different products. Available.
It's just very strange.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
How they will not allow anything that's not real.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
It's crazy. Joy, this is good, a great conversation. Thanks
what you're calling us?
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Uh? Yeah, that great, great stuff there. I had trace
in me this. He said, you need to go on
CROC and say, recall frequency, Grock, recall frequency in the
United States. Do you want to do this? You're you're
the grock man.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I could, but really quickly I was falling down a
rabbit hole while Joy was talking. There and a lot
of ideas and thoughts and conjecture on what Joy was saying.
But one thing I can say this, Boy, this is interesting.
Maybe people already knew this, maybe I'm just learning it.
But you know the a common dye red forty Yeah,
I've heard that. You know what it's derived from. Uh
(24:41):
it's a synthetic food coloring.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Eh.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
It's made from petroleum oil.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Red food dye is made out of petroleum Yep. That
the oil.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yeah, crude oil.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
What. Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
We're eating that? Why?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Because it makes it look red? And that's what they want.
They want they want the fruit loops. They want the
red cherry flavor fruit loops to look very bright red.
It's made from petroleum crude oil. Well, I won't look
at a red fruit loop the same. That is weird,
isn't it. Is that why we're so fat in this country.
That's a that's a loaded question. There's a lot, there's
a lot of factors that play there. I was.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I have to say this again. I was in the
Netherlands this year. I did not see a single person
who was a native that I would consider overweight for
whatever reason, whether it's the food, whether it's they bike everywhere,
whether it's they have a lot most of the cities
are walkable. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Maybe they just don't have funnel cake. Well, I'm they
have treats. They have a lot of treats.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
It was streets. I'm not trying to give anybody extra
business here, but it was potato oles for me.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Oh those are so good.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
That's what did me. And it was one summer of
potato olays and I'm still trying to work it off.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Dude, potato ols though, whatever they put on those things,
with or without cheese.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
You want to be something that probably derives from petroleum.
Let's be honest. Potato oles, but man, they're good. Oh
they don't come on, they don't right, they're potatoes.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yeah, they're pretty oily. Well like they got greace. I
mean a lot of these fast food joints. I mean
they basically what's the grease budget for some of these places?
That'd be what I would like to know. But whatever
it is about Europe and especially I didn't notice it
as much in Spain, and maybe I was just not
paying close enough attention, or maybe there is a ton
of terror of tourists, not terrorists, tourists around Spain that
(26:24):
you know, I got duped by. But when I was
in the Netherlands, I just cannot believe how many people
just like they just all seem to be in good
physical health.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Yeah, you kind of got it in countries like that.
You got to go off the grid a little bit
into the normal living spaces, and I think you'll see
Netherlands for the reality of it, that's my guess.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Well, I don't know. I mean I went to like
four different cities and I still felt like, Hey, a
lot of these people are in shape. You're not seeing
large people who I mean, everybody there basically has the
ability to ride a bike or to walk you know,
down the street to do whatever they want to do,
and they don't care about it. This is an interesting
conversation if you'd like to keep it up. If you
got some recall I did Grock re all information, it's
a long list. We'll talk about that and we will
(27:04):
chat about it. So call me at four oh two,
