Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is interrupted by Matt Jones EXEPHS SO fifteen of
interrupted by Matt Jones, presented by Cornbread Hemp. This is
the Good Life. It's the news again. We have had
a great string of guests. Tommy Vtour was on at Norlander,
Josh Hopkins and now you know what, thought, it's been

(00:22):
a couple of weeks. You probably don't know what's happening
in the news, since this is probably the only way
you get it. So, Drew Franklin, I think it's time
again to give people the news.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
I'm excited to learn the news, but I want to
start with the compliment. I'll listen to the Josh Hopkins
episode and as you said to our KSR listeners before,
that is a must listen. And I loved every second
of it. I mean the Russ part was, you know,
very emotional and revealed things that he had never said
before and I learned more about it. But even the
fun stuff was a lot of fun. So's twenty minutes.

(00:52):
It was our longest one.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Got good shoes to fill here, Yeah you do, Yeah,
don't mess up. Plus we now have he's going on
video right, so they're on, So subscribe. It's KSR the
Show on YouTube. You know, we're realizing you should get
on YouTube, only twenty years later than everyone else. I'm like,

(01:14):
you know that YouTube thing that might stick. I think
they're going somewhere. I think you know what, you might
want to have a presence on there. So it's KSR
the Show. We do not have an interrupted only feed,
but that's okay because it's on there and the Hopkins
interviews there and they're all there. Now Billy is here.
He has ten news items. I have a friend who

(01:36):
listens to this podcast regularly who said that he thought
Billy's news was a little depressing the last time, but
again he can't help like, it's the news it is,
so we'll see if it's going to be as depressing
this time. I hope Billy is trying to bring some
joy to an otherwise dark world.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
And I'm in a really good mood today, so you
would kill my day if this is just nothing but
said story.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
So there's ten stories. Hopefully it's not ten different forms
of sadness. But let's go ahead. It's time for the news.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah, it's gonna be a little less morbid today, but
we're going to start a little morbid.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
We have to it's the news, of course, Okay, Well,
I mean it is what it is.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
So why don't we start with the man who opened
fired into a midtown Manhattan building, Okay, and that is
where four people died, including a police officer. The shooter
was believe to be targeting the NFL and the NFL headquarters.
He went up to the thirty third floor, which was
the wrong floor, before he ended up taking his life.
But he also had a note on him that alluded

(02:36):
to that he felt that he had CTE and blamed
the NFL for covering up traumatic brain injury in the
National Football League. He did not know, but he does
believe he did have CTE. He said on the note
to please study my brain, but blames the NFL for
a lot of the negativity and the injuries that he
has had in the past, butsit despite never being in

(02:58):
the NFL.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah, well, first of all, that was you know that
part of New York right there, it's on like fifty
first in the Park is an area that I'm in
all the time, Like that's right, a couple of blocks
from Simon and Schuster where I wrote my book and
spent like six months so I know that very very well.
I cannot picture drew what it would have been like

(03:20):
if you were on the street that day and he
had that weapon, because I mean that was a it
looked like a from Scarface weapon, Like it was a
huge gun. And if you notice in the one screenshot
that got sent to the public, no one was around,
which says to me, because that was like rush hour,
It says to me, everybody seen him and had run away.

(03:42):
Is that kind of what you think?

Speaker 2 (03:44):
So that was no small rifle? Yeah, I mean that
was the story study and parked it and pulled it
out of his trunk and it was almost nonchalant and
how he's going about.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
It, and then obviously the officer was off duty and
the security guard and that's tragic. He has two kids
and another one on the way. I saw that. Like
the Portnoy and barstool, it's where he's like six hundred
thousand dollars for his family, which is awesome. You know
the videos of like the barricade, it's people set up

(04:13):
all and I mean that, you know, I think sometimes
if you don't live in New York, it's hard to
picture how big. I mean, there are thousands of people
that work in those buildings, and to think about how
they were barricaded. Some of them were stuck in their
offices until like eleven or twelve at night. That's just
gotta be insane.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah, And I'm like you, I was there a month
ago that exact block walking past that building, and that
should be just a harmless area to walk through. It's busy,
but you're not too far from Time Square in Midtown,
a very populated area, and no circumstances should someone be
walking down the street with a rifle leading to a
tragedy like this just absolutely sad. And the people inside,

(04:50):
you know, I can you think about the people outside
how crazy that is. But when you're in there and
there's only a few elevators, you're just kind of sitting
there hoping it's not your floor or that he doesn't
come to you, which kind of my question.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Okay, So I saw some idiot on Fox News said
that he was like, this is why every American needs
mixed martial arts training. You think, look it up. Some
dude said this, and he was like, because then in
situations like this, someone could have taken him down. Now

(05:24):
I'm gonna throw the challenge flag. I think you get
in to like a UFC fight, if that guy has
a gun, it's not gonna really matter how much mixed
marshal martial arts training I have. By the way, the
answer is how much I have is none. Let's say
you were walking down the street and you see that guy.

(05:47):
What are you doing? You just taking off running?

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah, I'm first, no circumstances, am I putting my karate
to the test. There's an old saying bringing a knife
to a gunfight. I'm definitely not bringing my feet that
are not bringing these two hands. But seriously, I mean, yes,
I'm getting out of there quickly. Anyone I'm with, any
even strangers, you know, trying to get run out of there.
But you're also at the same try and probably calling

(06:10):
or trying to get law enforcement as quickly as you can. Yeah,
you know, they're in New York and that area of
law enforcements probably right around the corner already on the scene.
But if not, it's a smaller case. I'm making sure
I'm getting hold of someone that can get there. You're running, Yeah,
I am not going near it, and no one should
with someone caring a rifle like that.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, I mean I am amazed. I feel like in
most of those situations, everyone is running, Like very few
people are going, what can I do about this? Most
people are running. If it's it's human nature, right then
when you're in the building, I can't imagine being in
the building because you got to remember, there's a period

(06:48):
of time where you don't like, it's not like it's
on the news yet. You know, it's just you, and
you're probably not getting a lot of information in whatever
channels there are to get information. There's a lot of
people trying to access them. I just that's gotta be terrifying.
I did see though, the one office where they put
like couches and stuff over the door.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Oh yeah, it was a lot a lot of couch
a lot of couches.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Very ingenious, I guess is that what you is that
the thing to do. Just take all the couches and
barricade the.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Door, and you probably get an adrenaline rush where you
don't even need help carrying those couches. I mean, I'm
sure that the people around there just gathered and just
muscle they didn't know they had, or pulling furniture towards
that door and pulling it up on top of each other. Yeah,
it's the uncertainty of for the news even out just
knowing he's in your building. But there's all those floors
and you don't know if your floor is on the list.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
You're just headed your way, and leaving is not safe necessarily.
I mean, it might be safe, but you don't know
if it's safe, so you don't You don't know. Ken,
I get in the elevator, kn' getting stairwell. I guess
the safest thing is just to stay where you are,
But I think so. When I saw the furniture wall,
I remember being like, that's odd, But now, after thinking

(07:59):
of all the possibilit I think the furniture wall is
the way to go, isn't it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
I mean it's sad that you would even have to
think of what you would do in that situation, But
that's the world we live in now, and the one
that happened there in a tall building like that, where
you don't have anywhere to go, I don't know what
else you could do.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
I don't know what you would do either, and I
do think it's obviously a tragedy. And prayers to everyone
involved in Billy the allegation that you were going to
be sad in your start. I don't think you've done
anything to refute that. In story number one.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Well, i'd like to argue that might be the only
morbid story story led with it. So yes, So while
it is the most important story, I'm going to think
there's gotta be other morbid stories out there, So you're
not doing any more morbid stories.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Alright. I'll be the judge of whether or not any
more of these are morbid. Maybe you just have a
perverse sense of what is morbid or not. But that
story one, tell me what story to.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
All right, on to number two. Let's talk about Trump's
tariffs again. We got so much reaction from the first
time we talked about it. Let's do it again. It's
the news. President Trump on Tuesday set a ten dollars
ten day deadline ten dollars tariff. No, no, no, he's
going to raise ten dollars from old three country. We'll
get to tariffs in a second when regarding Mexico. But
let's talk about Russia for a second. President Trump on

(09:13):
Tuesday set a ten day deadline for Russia to reach
a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine or else risk secondary sanctions.
The deal must be done by August eighth. If you remember,
in July, Trump said if Russia doesn't agree to a
ceasefire within fifty days, the United States would impose tariffs
up to one hundred percent on goods sold by countries
that do business with Russia.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
So what is the deadline now?

Speaker 3 (09:36):
It is ten days from when Trump said it, So
that's August eighth.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Normally he says two weeks from now. That's his go to.
His go to is always they'll be like, what are
we going to do in two weeks. It's gonna be
in two weeks. He really likes the two weeks. Now
it's ten days. Of course, no one believes that, right,
Like no one believes there's good I mean, he always caves.
Here's your other story about the Mexico thing.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Yes on, yeah, yeah, So the Mexico one is that
they have delayed higher tariffs going into effect for Mexico.
This was supposed to happen within the week. It is
now ninety days before Trump will implement this higher I
think he.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Tweeted out or somebody said yesterday tomorrow is the deadline,
and he was like, it will not be extended. And
then it was extended the next day. So they're calling
him Taco. I saw this.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
I mean, I know the Mexico reference, but is there
more to.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
The taco is I think it stands for Trump always
chickens out. Oh okay, I didn't, I've seen talk. I
think I could be wrong about this. I think it
is Trump always chickens out because he always says he's
gonna do this, and then he does it, and then
sometimes he comes up with deals. And then they asked

(10:53):
the other side and they're like, no, that happened with
one of them. I think it was Japan. He was like,
Japan has agreed to spend ninety bajillion dollars in America
and they were like, that's not even a number. I
haven't even talked to him. Wrong number. I haven't heard
from him. So, you know, tariffs are stupid. That's one

(11:13):
thing conservatives and I agree on real conservatives. Now other
conservatives don't like they're stupid. It's just a tax on Americans.
But I do like the fact that do you like
taco as a nickname?

Speaker 2 (11:26):
I giggled it because, like I said, I had seen
references to taco, like a news story will pop up
and the mentions will just be like taco, taco, taco.
But I did not know the acronym there.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah, and because he did the taco that what was
the taco thing? Did? He was like there was something
with him and tacos? Right, what was it? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
I just keep seeing people say it's Taco Mexico news.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yeah, it was something when he first started about tacos.
He oh, yes, yeah, yeah he did did he? Uh?
He said he had the best tacos in America at
Trump Tower or something right with something with Trump, Trump
Tower and taco. This was a long time ago, but anyway,
you know, when he was the.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower, he twoted
happy and it says I love Hispanics happy, I love.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
South. See here's the problem with Trump, he said, Unfortunately,
he's funny. And I that really for people like me
who don't like his policies, that's tough because he's funny,
and so there's a level of which Americans just like
to be entertained, and he gets away with stuff in
part because people think it's funny. And I, yeah, I
mean that dance that dances accordion. Yeah, I mean, remember

(12:37):
when Nancy Pelosi was wearing all the like African gear
on the during the Black Lives Matter and she looks
so ridiculous and rightfully should have been mobed. But I
feel like Trump could do whatever and that and people
be like, oh, he's just him. Yeah, I think that's

(12:58):
that whole dance, like it's just so it's so ridiculous.
But the problem is when he ran drew, he said
I will end the Russia Ukraine war in one day.
That hasn't happened, but I mean it was never gonna happen, right,
A little behind on.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
A few promises. We talked about the list a few
weeks ago in an Epstein list that's is that on
your list of this?

Speaker 1 (13:20):
It's not.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
But I wish I took back my opinion that I
said on the podcast the week that we did it.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
What did you say?

Speaker 3 (13:26):
I said, I believe the government.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
That's right. You did say that.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
I was like, well, there must be no list. If
they said that, there isn't, and it's ever since then,
it's anybody.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
At this point who I think I saw. Maybe this
number is made up, but I think I saw eighty
two percent of Americans think that things are being hidden
by this and only four percent though, But yet it
seems like there's a disproportionate amount of politicians that are like,
it's all good, nothing to see. What are you talking about?
This old news?

Speaker 2 (13:56):
This seems to be one of the biggest things that
have united in America.

Speaker 4 (13:59):
Honestly, can really on the night only on, Come on,
there has to be more. I haven't seen you both
sides come together. Everybody's like, all right, just give us something,
whatever it is, let us know, then we'll figure it out.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
And then they're like, well, let's we're gonna interview that
woman and then it'll be so well, I mean, she's
in prison. If nothing happened, why is she in prison? Right,
clearly something happened. She's in prison. And then do you
think they will pardon her? Because I do now, And

(14:38):
I would have never thought that was plausible. I really didn't.
I would have never thought that's pausible. But I am
starting to think he's gonna pardon her in exchange for
her saying that he didn't have anything to do with it.
That's I kind of feel like that's where we're headed
on there.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
So low though, I mean, these are crimes against children
that she's involved with.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Pardon that. I kind of think that's where this is headed. Okay,
So then Bill Clinton was clearly like on the plane
or It's hard to even know what the news is
on this end, but Bill Clinton certainly had a relationship
with him. Can I just go on record as saying, like,

(15:21):
if Bill Clinton's evolved, and I'm not saying he is,
but if he is, he should be in trouble too,
Like I don't know any Democrat that's like, but please
leave out Bill Clinton, right, no, anybody involved, anyone involved.
I mean, Billy, you are not You're like a neutral
person on this. You've got to think this is ridiculous. Yeah,

(15:43):
it's bizarre.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
It's gotten to a point where there has to be
something behind the curtain. But Trump keeps saying that like
Bill Clinton and Hillary and these Obama they all wrote
the Epstein files.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
He ran saying, let's release the Epstein file. Right, Am
I wrong about that? I said? Then he came in
and his and then they said there are no Epstein files.
And now he's saying they wrote the Epstein files. So
how about just an initial answer? Are their files? Yeah?
It's just hard to follow.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
So you got to think there's something nefarious going on,
at least in my mind.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
And Obama wrote that Obama wasn't even president when this happened.
Does there I mean people realize that Obama was already
out of office when all of this happened. I mean
that some of the acts I think happened, but like
he was he pled guilty when Trump was president.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
I'm just wondering, like, I let's assume they're like a
Nate not an actual wrote down those with the people involved,
Like if it was Trump or Republicans, then why wouldn't
the Democrats want that out? And if it's the Democrats involve,
why would the publics?

Speaker 1 (16:47):
So it's is it?

Speaker 2 (16:48):
I guess I'm almost a little sprinkling of both. If
there is really stuff.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
In there, first of all, I think it's this is
my opinion with no knowledge. I think it is less
nefarious than people think. Like I think people think there's
gonna be a list that's gonna have like Cardi b
and Luke Brian Tom Hanks is a popular one. Yeah,
I mean there's gonna be all these I don't think
that's gonna exist. I kind of think that doesn't exist.

(17:14):
But I think there's probably stuff in there that makes
friends of both Republicans and Democrats look bad, maybe even
some prominent people. And maybe this is my opinion, now,
maybe those people have stuff. I don't necessarily know if
Trump or Bill Clinton's on it, but my guess it's

(17:35):
just a guess some of the people on it have
stuff on these people and they're worried about that's just
a gas. But that's my guest, just.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
A little bit of black mail all around everywhere. Yes,
and then everybody in checking in the line. Do you,
billy think like it needs to come out?

Speaker 1 (17:53):
I think yeah? But will it probably not. What do
you think happens if he pardons this woman? Because I
think he's going to I think we would go crazy.
Who's we?

Speaker 3 (18:02):
I guess the Royal we, the United States, the people,
the populace.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
We the people we. Yeah. But when you say people
will go crazy, don't Trump's hardest defenders defend him no
matter what. Yes, mental gymnastics, Yeah, I mean they'll defend
whatever he does. There's like forty percent of America that
will defend anything he does.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Yeah, But I would argue there's a lot of conservatives
that are out on Trump, after this Epstein stuff, I.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Think so, yeah, Okay, I think there are some I
don't know how many that that is.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
But I know there are a lot of people that
will talk themselves into something he's done to support it.
But if he were to parton and excuse what she did,
I mean, that's that's that you can't that's horrible behavior.
That's the lowest of the low.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
So what happens when they bring of because they're going
to do this in September, they bring a resolution that says,
release the Epstein files? Okay, do you think people are
you think there will be people who will vote no? Yes? That?
How can you How can you explain? How do you
look at people and say nah? And I do like
Trump was like, let's release the Martin Luther King Junior five.

(19:10):
Was anybody asking for that? No, we got the files
we want right here.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Let's see those leok over here?

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Hear me later after we look at these. And by
the way, what was in those they released all? Was
there anything in them? I haven't heard one more thing
about him. No, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
It'd be bigger news if there was something.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
I would think. So, is it on Billy's list of topics.
It's not well, then it's not news. So anyway, Taco.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
Taco, I had not heard time.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
What do you think about the cheating the golf? Uh
is the is there a new one? No? No? The one?
Oh well the you like the guy playing ahead? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (19:43):
You read read wrote a book called Commander in Cheat.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
I loved it. I read it, read the whole book.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
You know, I'm someone that doesn't care for anything political.
I would never read it just a book about politics,
but this one was strictly golf. It didn't even really
tap in anything political. It was just how he cheats
in golf, and I loved it.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
So last Trump point, how good do we think he
is at golf? Like like, like for real? How good
is he?

Speaker 2 (20:12):
I saw him hit the ceremonial t shot at his
new course in Scotland, and the account said Trump ropes
a two hundred ninety yard drive. I look at it.
It was not too ninety, but it was a good
drive for an eighty year old. Like, why are you
saying it's three hundred because he did hit it down
the middle exactly right.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
He is eighty years old. I don't think anybody expects
him to be Tiger why can't he just be I'm
good for eighty.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
He is good for eighty, good for eight. It probably
went to twenty, and it went down the middle. If
you say that's two twenty down the middle, that's good
for an eighty year old.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
But when you're telling me they hundred, say two ninety
because no one believes that well, because are there people
that do believe it? Well?

Speaker 3 (20:52):
In the book, he has like twenty club championships because
he plays the first round of every course that he opens.
I mean, there is a facade of you know, he's
this sixties golfer.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
And he's not.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
There's nothing to be She's ashamed about it being an
eighties golfer.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
And you're very adamant anti cheating in golf. I'm more
liberal about my golf cheating.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yeah, but I understand, Yeah, I understand the role of
a caddy at a country club and there needs to
be some liberties that probably take place when the owner
of the club is who you're caddying for.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
But like, yeah, I'm for the rules. See, here's what's
weird about me with golf. I am most interested in
cheating to my own brain. Okay, there's a psychology to this.
I don't. I would never like drop a ball to

(21:42):
make Drew think I played with. I would drop a
ball because I can't accept to myself that I didn't
hit it. Well. Does that make sense? Yeah, so you
wouldn't see me. I wouldn't come on and go I
shot seventy five, but I might convince myself I shot
you're not doing It's again a competitive advantage on me.

(22:04):
It's more about making myself feel better, because like when
I hit a really bad shot, I get angry at myself,
and so I think it's odd. I would rather go
publicly and go, yeah, I hit it in the woods,
But in my mind I would go, I think I
hit it in the fairy. And I think that Trump

(22:26):
is like the exact opposite. Trump doesn't think he ever cheated,
and it's important for him to tell the public that
he's good.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
There are stories in that book where the tournament would
end and he would play the following day and turn
in his score and win. He knew the lowest score
that was turned into the clubhouse, and then he couldn't
make it Sunday.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Didn't he win?

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Want even he didn't phoned in a club championship.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
I love the I would have shot that's like a
whole like I would trust me, had I played, I
would have shot sixty eight. My elbows bugging me.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
I can't play, but put me down for sixty three for.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
A best page Black Matt.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Eighty eight, eighty eight, eighty eight. Yes, and I did.
And I promise you what. I took a second on
the first tea.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
That's fine, so I took up breakfast ball.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
But I promise you that's what I shot. And from
like six sixty nine to ninety or when it was
just like slightly under seven thousand and I it was
the best I've ever played.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
That course is a beast ryder Cups this year.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah. Now I wasn't at those teas where they're gonna play.
But and you can ask the two random dudes from
Long Island I played with. And just so you know,
I've saved their number so that no you think I'm well,
I tempt. Oliver's number is in here. And if I
ever get this is the if I ever run for

(23:56):
office and people think I've cheated, call Oliver. He's in
my phone as Oliver Islanders because we went to a
New York Islanders game with him.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
Oh maybe next fade this skepticals soay, he kept his
number to keep paying him off, Stay in touch.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
Keep a story straight. The Beth Page files they will
never be released their old news. What's next? All right?

Speaker 3 (24:16):
I heard someone mentioned Nancy Pelosi. She's involved in this
next story. GOP Senator Josh Holly of Missouri joined Democrats
Wednesday to advance legislation that would ban members of Congress
from buying, selling, or owning individual stocks. In an eight
to seven vote, Holly and Senate Democrats on the US
Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs voted this

(24:37):
legislation out of the committee. There is skepticism that if
it will ever get a floor vote in the House,
but they are calling it, Drew. You may like this
the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act,
or the Pelosi Act.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
That is very clever. I mean, like I think Holly
named it that you may the initials B Pelosi is brilliant.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
I'm actually gonnallap for that.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
That really is brilliant. What was it called? Again?

Speaker 3 (25:07):
The Preventing Preventing Elected Leaders from owning securities has an
f preventing elected leaders from from they.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Did from but Owning Securities Investments Act.

Speaker 5 (25:23):
Gosh, they got They should have just left out the
from preventing elected officials, elected leaders, elected leaders from owning.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
They got to have the FROM I guess prevented electing
the leaders owning. I would have left the from out,
prevented elective leaders owning securities. They need the FROM. I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
I think they could have gone with it there. They
have since changed the name to the Honest Act.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
No, they did, Yes, they changed it. Yeah, the Democrats
made them change it. But in the biggest it probably
should because she is the worst about it.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
But she is for it, she is for transparency.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
She'll be the goat. Yeah, Michael Jordan wanted to get
rid of this, and she's all right. Look, no Democrat
can look in the mirror and say that she and
Mitch McConnell are the king and queen, the king and
queen of this. To me, this is a no brainer.
People in Congress should not be able to buy in stocks.

(26:30):
If they own stocks, it should be put in a
trust and they cannot touch it, and no one can like.
It has to stay the way it is until you're done.
And if you don't like that, don't run, right, If
you don't like it, don't run. They get information nobody
else has. How are they allowed to buy and sell stocks?

Speaker 2 (26:49):
And there's so many examples of they'll buy something in
a week later up here comes the news.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
I mean, there are now AI accounts that just track
what Nancy Pelosi buys and sells.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
I have a confession. There's a kicker pa n W.
I don't know what the company does. I know nothing
about it. I follow the Pelosi tracker and I just
happen to see when it popped up that she just bought.
So I bought two, made about twenty percent, and got out.
Still have no idea what that company does. But the
Pelosi tracker made me a made me a little bit
of money, just follow her lead.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
So who could be against this? Well, explain to me.
So I think it passed eight seven. Josh Holly is
a Republican. Only Republican that voted for it. And then
but how do they justify being against it?

Speaker 3 (27:32):
So Republican Senator Rick Scott.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Is, by the way, is another He's like made five
hundred million dollars. I mean, it's some crazy amount that
may not be the exactly, but he is like he
and Pelosi should be in the Hall of Fame of
doing this. But go ahead, have his own wing.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
He was not born wealthy and is now worth hundreds
of millions of dollars.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Go figure.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
He agrees that lawmakers shouldn't be trading stocks, but he
defended the ability of members of Congress to be rich
and called a tax on the wealthy disgusting.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
And the dude got into politics broke, and now he's
worth five hundred million dollars. How can he think that's good?

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Just in trading stocks. Last year, Pelosi made twenty five
million in one year only on trading stocks.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
I'm telling you anyone against this is corrupt. They are.
There's no way you you have access to information that
no one else does. You should not be able to
do it. And people who say, well, now you won't
get rich people in politics. Good. If you're only running
for office to make yourself money, you shouldn't be in

(28:41):
it anyway.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Twenty twenty four, just on trading, Congress was up one
hundred and thirty three million people that were trading. Oh wow,
they were up. Who would have thought it's pretty good return.
I'm lucky at you like seven percent.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
Well, Robinhood won't even let me withdraw my account. What
do you mean, Well, then't remember the game stop stuff,
so you still can't get money out. I'm saying in general,
people were not allowed to.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah during that ring game stop stuff. Yeah, yeah, Well
to me, Josh Holly's exactly right. You know they're now
considering doing it. But like putting a thing that tru
it doesn't apply to Trump see that.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
I mean, some of this stuff is just so obvious
that everyone not involved, all of us, should be like, no,
this is ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Herd ram Paul go, you know, if you if you
don't do that, If you do that, if there'll be
some people who won't want to run and will lose
good people, good, good, Right.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
How much of the population has hundreds of millions of
dollars too much, too much, but not a majority. So
if we do have some regular folk in there, that
won't be the worst thing.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Well, I hope it passes. They'll find a way. I'm
sure to not pass it. But to me, if we
were to pass all in favor, say i aye aye, Mario,
you don't have micro but that's okay, it's four to
zero in this But Nancy, if you have any tis,
you talked about things that could unify everybody. This is
one who's again. I mean what regular persons against what

(30:08):
regular person's like. I need Nancy Pelosi and Rick Scott
to make more money.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
That's what I'm Pelosi, act and Epstein. I mean two
things bringing us together.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
You want to bring America together? Pelosi, act e Epstein,
get rid of paper straws. We are all we all
come to get you gonna run? No, what's the next?

Speaker 3 (30:28):
All right, let's go to another figure we talk about
frequently on this show. Elon Musk. Tennessee Governor Bill Lee
announced Monday a public private partnership with the Boring Company,
a tunnel construction firm owned by our guy Elon Musk.
The plan is to build an underground tunnel between Nashville's
airport and a undisclosed area downtown. The Boring Company, who

(30:51):
will cover the entire construction build by the way, will
allow only Teslala vehicles to make the trip under the
U I guess under the existing traffic that already exists
in Nashville, the trip should take about eight to ten minutes.
It's the second tunnel constructioned in the United States by
the Boring Company, the first being in Las Vegas in
twenty twenty one. But despite all this, there's no budget,

(31:13):
there is no precise route or timeline presented, but Governor
Lee is touting this plan as the future of commuting.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Okay, so let me go back. Who pays for this?
The public or to Elon No Elon tire zero zero dollars.
So Elon pays for it, and it allows people to
go underground, correct in a tunnel, but only Tesla's.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
Only Tesla's and this is from the airport to a
undisclosed downtown area.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Which is where they keep the epstein from. Okay, So well,
first of all, if it was public money, definitely no.
But I would assume and maybe I'm wrong, but you're
gonna be going under property people own. M M. You

(32:04):
think that's correct? Oh yeah, you have to. And there
would be no way you could construct this without disrupting
people's lives.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
Oh yeah, they said. The terrain and Nashville is much
different than Vegas. There's a lot more rock and limestone
that they'd have to go through, so it would be
a much bigger endeavor than that.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
So are you gonna they just gonna tell people get
out of your yard. We have to drill.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
No that I saw them doing Vegas. It like goes
on the ground and digs underground. Now there's videos where
like the streets kind of bounce and maybe concrete cracks,
but it like goes under and digs beneath.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Really they can do that? Yeah? Wow, so you so
in theory they're saying if you were on the ground,
you wouldn't feel it.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Now the video I saw the ground was shaking a little.
But they're not taking over your yard and digging or anything.
You could just you knew that the Uh.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
So what do you think about the underneath allowing a
road that's just for one kind of car? That's what
I don't like about this story.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
I mean I get Elon's building it, but the fact
it's only Tesla's I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Are we setting a precedent though? And they like rich
people just are creating their own infrastructure.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Right, Yeah, well you have full control of this.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
What have you? Just like this part of the sky
only can be flown maybe that already exists. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
Only satellites from the boring company can go up into
this area of space.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Yeah, I don't like it, but I can't totally articulate
why I would like it better. That's kind of cost
a zillion dollars, doesn't it. Sure? I'm sure I would
like it.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Better if like it wasn't just a private entity that
did it, and even if the Peble get paid for it,
just make it like another road. But unfortunately Elon is
the only one that can do.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
It right now.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
Yeah, I don't like giving him all of underneath Nashville
and only his cars can be on it.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
I feel like in fifty years there's gonna be like
ten rich people that run the world and they're going
to be more powerful than governments, and that's bad. So
things that lead that to happen I'm against. So, like
I I understand, you could go, well, it's his right
if he wants to pay for it and if he
wants to make it. But do we really want to

(34:16):
set up a world where ten people decide everything and
they're beyond the reach of government. I don't know. And
I'm a billy.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Even though he's offering you do it for free, it
feels gross and all his cars can be on it
because it's just going to further enrich them and spiral
the speed up. The problem with him even having more power.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
Yeah, you want a ten minute ride to downtown just
jumping this tesla, or you can get in a cab
and wait forty minutes to actually get to where you
want to go.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
And there'll be a class distinction, which is poor people
will be taking poor and middle class people will be
taking the cab yep, and the rich people will get
their own roads. I generally believe that, even though I
really don't like Trump, he is not my biggest worry
for the future, because he will he's old, he will
not be president forever, he will die. I'm much more

(35:07):
worried about the elons, Zuckerberg's, Peter Thiel's, these people, these
these billionaires who are becoming more powerful than government. That
really worries me, because what are you going to do
about it? Like what you can in theory, you can
vote Trump out of office. What are you gonna do
about these people? You can't vote Mark Zuckerberg out of office?

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Yeah, even though it's getting a little messy in politics, Uh,
there's supposed to be some checks and balances, But if
it's just five gajillionaires.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
We're just at their mercy. And we had that story
in your last news report where he was like, yeah,
humans fifty to fifty on them.

Speaker 3 (35:41):
Oh yeah, the guy that wouldn't answer when he was.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Like yeah, He's like yeah humans, eh, do you want
to preserve humanity? And it couldn't go either way depends
on how I'm feeling. So I so, all right, you're
the governor of Tennessee. Yeah, are you allowing this or not? No?
I'm not, are you Yeah?

Speaker 5 (36:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Yeah, I think so you are? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (36:03):
What purpose to out myself as a But what ahead
of the curve innovator? He've used it like the future of.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
Commerce, But nobody's gonna remember the governor the future of commerce?

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Is that what he said? Not commerce? But what is it? Commuting?
Is I think the word? So? Will he let anyone
do it? Like? Can I do it? The future of commuting?
Can I have my own tunnel?

Speaker 3 (36:24):
You got enough money to go through?

Speaker 1 (36:26):
But that is everyone that has enough money can get
their own tunnel.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
Yes, I guess it's the American dream. You make enough money,
there's one of the limits on the tunnel. Can I
just build a whole underground city? And there are only
so many there's only so much land.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
I don't know. I don't like it. What's next?

Speaker 2 (36:45):
How much of my land do I own? Going down?

Speaker 1 (36:47):
Is that a foul? So you own? It's a legal thing.
You own all the rights up to the sky and
down to the core. So enough, because like, you can't
charge planes for flying above you.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
So there are exceptions, but they're not cutting into my
my soil.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Yeah, but there are exception that I do. People will
sue him for this, I'm sure, but there is a
that's why I have people have oil rights, like all
the way down to the In Texas, the law is
to the sky and to the core. But it's also like,
but you can't stop planes from going under there. But
planes aren't really doing anything but flying over you. This

(37:29):
is digging up tunnels under the ground. But Tennessee makes
the laws. They can just say you don't have a
right to do it. So I'm out. What's next? You know?
Clayton and crewm was founded on a simple idea all
leather goods should last a lifetime. They make everything from bags, belts, wallets,
and much more. And the best part they're doing it
right here in Kentucky. You can check them out Clayton

(37:50):
Andcreme dot com. That's c r u me dot com.
Or you can visit their flagship retail store in Louisville
at two sixteen South Shelby Street. That's in new It's
Clightening kroom quality leather goods, built to last.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
All right, let's shift gears and talk about the American
Eagle ad that was released this past week with Sidney Sweeney.
If you don't know who that is, you've been living
under a rock or Ryan Lemon. Twenty seven year old
Euphoria star Sidney Sweeney finds herself in controversy after a
recent American Eagle ad. Sweeney, in a denim on denim fit,
dabbles in some wordplay telling the cameras jeans are passed

(38:28):
down from parent to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality,
and even eye color.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
My genes are blue.

Speaker 3 (38:37):
The sensual tone and the campaign she's saying.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
People like past their blue jeans down to each other
or is it like a play on words? Play on words?

Speaker 3 (38:47):
So the genes genes thing here along with the sensual
tone compared with these it was a little bit Sidney
Sweeney made.

Speaker 1 (38:59):
Did it sounds sensual to me?

Speaker 3 (39:02):
Well, I'm trying to read my own handwriting here, so
we're doing our best. But she's also seen in this
ad as the archetype of good genes. This has created
a lot of controversy, with a blonde woman with blue
eyes being held up not just as the beauty ideal,
but out the pinnacle of good breeding. Bordered on You
said that some commentators, a lot of people. Oh, I

(39:24):
don't have the source in front of me here, but well.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
Here's the reason I asked that. I keep reading that
this is controversial and that people are mad. Yeah, but
I haven't heard anyone be mad. Oh they're out there.
Who I guess the mad people? The mad people to
the talk. Oh there are people too, man. I mean
they have an opinion. So anytime a nut has an opinion,

(39:49):
we have to deal with it.

Speaker 3 (39:50):
Yeah, but that doesn't have to give any credence to
their opinion.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
You're the one that put it in the news.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
Oh, there's a lot of people that have this opinion.
Oh the people, the people, people people.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
Okay, all right, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (40:05):
Why thin blonde woman with blue eyes is being held
as the standard of genetics people.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
I can't imagine caring this much about an American eagle.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Ad people are. I didn't even know American egle was
still I really didn't. I did not until her ad.
I did not know there still was American egle.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
I can't even put myself where I would have a
single emotion about an American eagle. A just anyone, just
keep living your life. It's American eagle?

Speaker 1 (40:32):
Who cares? I still, though I have looked for who
is mad? I did look at this because I kept
hearing I saw the like Trump put out a statement,
and I was like, so here's what I thought. What
idiot on my side put this out? Because this is
the kind of thing that makes people hate us. And
all I could find were random people on TikTok going

(40:55):
Sidney swinging, Hey, you gonna be looking like you got jeans,
and maybe like wow, who cares what they think?

Speaker 2 (41:03):
If anything, it's kind of good wordplay. She has blue eye?
I didn't, she has blue eyes?

Speaker 1 (41:07):
She does? Okay, she has eyes? Uh blue blue eyes?
Eyes up here?

Speaker 2 (41:12):
It's pretty good, pretty good wordplay.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
Well people who if someone's mad about this, it's that's.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
They're calling it Nazi propaganda and the glorification of whiteness.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
Are these people, Billy that are saying this?

Speaker 3 (41:29):
I believe USA Today was the USA Today.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
Okay, show me the article where USA Today said that
she was a Nazi?

Speaker 3 (41:37):
All right, you want that link or how would you
like that?

Speaker 1 (41:40):
Okay, I will say this if us. The first of all,
I didn't know we still had USA today either. So
now we have American Eagle and USA today have survived.
This was the biggest fight in two thousand and one.
Where does one get a USA today Now? I don't know.
They used to only have them in hotels.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
I guess still in hotels. Drop him at your door.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
They're liking this to a twenty seventeen pepsi ad with
Kendall Jenner when she was in a civil rights protest
and she handed somebody a pepsi.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
Dare I say, when you say they, who is they? Uh?

Speaker 3 (42:15):
You know, I'm not sure that you got my mind
in a pretzel with the well.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
I do think it's important who is complaining, because I
just I don't I'm with you, Drew, I don't know
who could be upset about this. But before I get
outraised about the even being upset, I want to see
who it is that's upset. I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
I can't think of any circumstances where American Eagle could
change my blood pressure at all or make me form
one thought about what they're doing. I will walk by
it in the mall and keep walking.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
Sidney Sweeney is insanely popular right now, isn't she.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
That's probably the reason all this exists, just a reason
to I feel like the BT did they afford her?
That's a good get, is a good kid, because who
when I was hotter than in Sydney Sweeney in terms
of being popular, she's on top right now. But when
I was in high school, I could afford American Eagle.
I couldn't afford Abercrombie. Now you're telling me American Eagle

(43:12):
has Sidney Sweeney money. It was like the cheaper.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
Yeah you go, you went to American Yeah, Abercrombie, I
never felt in place.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
I could like the sell wreck, but I never found
people were What I always found interesting about Abercrombie is
they were selling clothes by showing shirtless people. Yeah, they're
the ones with the Controversy's not an American Eagle. Actually, this
is Abercrombie trying to bring down American Eagle.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
You know, that's who made the videos Abercrombie could be.
Does Abercrombie still exist? They do? Is the music still
really loud? And it is?

Speaker 2 (43:43):
I have a confession to another one. I'm forty. I
own several Abercrombie shirts they have They have a sports
department now with throwbacks. Really, yeah, a lot of my
vintage Well their NFL license. Like, I have like five
Titan shirts from Abercrombie.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
Really, where is an Abercromis That's the only place I
saw those.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
I'm not wearing the polos and popping the collar or
any of that, but I do like their NFL gear.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
Well, like I said, if you got it, I don't
think that's what they meant. This is just a gas.
I don't think American Eagle thought let's make secret Nazi
propaganda while we try to sell these fifty dollars blue jeans.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
It's another Epstein distracting distraction.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
But I also think it is convenient sometimes for people
to say people are outraged when no one of significance
is outraged a vocal minority. You might say, are they vocal?
Because again, I just saw one woman on TikTok well
you must have you saw it still, Okay, so we
should in the future respond to every crazy person. Can I,

(44:53):
speaking of crazy people? Can I tell you something you
ought to get on sometimes? Sure, if you ever get
a chance, go to TikTok. There's a guy Harlan, Oh yeah,
whose name is crack forty. Love it already and he
streams Harlan news as it's happening. And the name crack
forty describes him pretty well in terms of the is

(45:18):
his news style. He's also the news to me, he's
always more interesting than the news he's covering. And he'll
go live follow him crack I think it's crack forty news,
and just be ready to go down the rabbit hole
of watching you want to talk about you want to
talk about news?

Speaker 2 (45:39):
You sent that to me one night and I was like,
open this suit. It is about thirty five minutes later,
still watching, couldn't get rid of it.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
Oh, he just goes live and he went he went
live at a drug raid at a Mexican restaurant and
it was riveting television. It was because he also he's
not worried about libel loss. They'll say anything about anybody.
We need more people like Crack forty Crack forty news
coming to a coming to a streamer near you. What's next?

(46:11):
All right?

Speaker 3 (46:11):
News topic number six? I thought we might talk about
what's been going on with South Park over the last
week or so.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
They just had their.

Speaker 3 (46:18):
Season twenty seven premiere, mocking Donald Trump quite a bit,
but they also were poking fun at their parent company, Paramount,
and the timeline of this story is incredible. First, we
need to talk about Paramount settling their lawsuit with Donald
Trump over their sixty minutes interview with Kamala Harris. I
guess they did some editing to make her look a
little better than she was in that interview. They had

(46:38):
since settled that lawsuit with Trump. Paramount also around the
same time canceled their late show with Stephen Colbert for
financial reasons.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
Only.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
A lot of people believe that this was all a
brise to appease Donald Trump and also to make sure
the sky Dance Paramount merger happens. Well it does. South
Park's resigns with paramounting very official.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
What's the news, Matt, Come on?

Speaker 3 (47:02):
They'd re signed with Paramount for one point five billion
dollars and fifty episodes.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
South Park does.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
The next day, they released their season twenty seven premiere,
where Donald Trump's Genitalia is talking. He is uh, he
is cuddling with Sudom or he is talking. Trump is
uh talking. Trump is cuddled up with Satan in bed.

Speaker 1 (47:24):
Oh it was Marle miss that part Ai generated video.

Speaker 3 (47:29):
There there were a lot, there was a lot going
on with South Park over the last couple of weeks.
But to do it the day after they sign one
hundred and fifty dollars dollar deal with Paramount hundred and
fifty dollars sorry, billion dollars.

Speaker 1 (47:44):
Is bold, very bold. I mean I'm very big on uh,
you know, letting people know. But this you just sign
it and then you're like, let's burn it to the
ground right now, shout out as a fellow corporate rebel.
That's a whole other level.

Speaker 2 (48:04):
I saw people were thinking they'd get canceled, and they're
already running ads for episode two next week.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
Yeah. Well, I mean, first of all, when's the last
time you thought about South far right? That's what the
White House said, Well, guess what thinking about him now?
We're thinking about him now? Yeah, I mean it worked
like it worked. It was brilliant and Honestly, if Paramount
was in on it, it would have been smart because
now they've gotten all this attention people are talking about
South Park. I think it had like six million views
last week. Yeah, I mean, and that's not even like

(48:31):
watching it on that's just on YouTube, like sixty years
something higher. Maybe it was, Yeah, that's not many number. Yeah,
it's got to be a massive number. So I mean,
I guess it worked. It was one point five million dollars.
I think that's a lot of money. I mean, that's
a lot of money from making a cartoon. And it
was a great episode. Yeah, did not see that ending
coming though, I don't think anyone did. South Park's never

(48:52):
broken from uh cartoons. I don't think it was the
second episode coming out yet not.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
Yeah, but this week they teased it with Charlie Kirk.
I guess Cartman's dressed up like Charlie Kirk for this one.

Speaker 2 (49:03):
We know.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
I think they have the credibility to do it because
they used to. I mean, they make they make fun
of liberals too, I mean they make fun of everything.
They make fun of everything, and so like I think
they get yeah, let them go at it. But I
do love signing it and then do it like that's
you know, Cajonees of Steel, Trey Parker, Matt Stone. They

(49:27):
must really love doing that because they have to have
so much money.

Speaker 3 (49:31):
It's a cool process, like each episode only takes six
seven days if you've.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
Well, yeah, you turn them around quick. Yeah yeah. How
do you know? Is there like a bak talk The
people are right next to the woman screaming about the
g Yeah, okay good grew up on south Park.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
Last summer I went to south Park, Colorado, to the town,
the big wooden things of South Park on it. Yeah,
they got a little Kenny out there. They got the
Casa Benita. I mean all the hits.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
Was it named south Park before? Just to like in publicity?
Did they change? The real name isn't even south Park.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
It's like there's part of south Park the town starts
with okay, losing it, but I mean it is completely
decorated and south That's like what they.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
Do in North Carolina for Mayberry. It's not named Mayberry.
It's mount Airy.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
Fair Play, Colorado, where its.

Speaker 1 (50:20):
Mount Airy, Like they have a Floyd's barber shop and
they have all of it. I think I took you
there once, didn't it didn't we drive a KSR road
trip was It was kind of depressing actually when we
went into the museum and it was like just a
lady smoking a cigarette looking at us, like, hey, Floyd's
over there, honey. Okay, remember they had the same episode

(50:43):
just plays non stop. Remember I asked that woman. I
was like, this is the same episode, because we stayed
over thirty minutes and it started again, and I go,
you know, do you get tired of this episode? And
she's like, whatever, honey, I tune it out. It's a
good time. Ron enjoyed it. I think. I also went

(51:06):
to the Simpsons World Universal Studio Missouri, and my ex
girlfriend wanted to go to Harry Potter. Yeah no, no, no,
not yeah no, it's Springfield, Kentucky. Oh the very first
time they did it, it was Springfield, Kentucky. Now every time
they re air it they put it in a but

(51:26):
I went there and there's a Simpsons bar, and while
she was off doing Harry Potter stuff, I sat there
for a while and the same thing, the episode's repeat,
and I asked the bartender there and he got I said,
do you does this get annoying? Or did you just
tune it? Out, and he was like, it's the worst
thing on earth. He he had memorized the dialogue and

(51:48):
could literally recite and he did the dialogue as the
episode was played, And that.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
Sounds like if I'm not mistaken. When we went to
Scranton and we went to the Office bar, I think
the bartender was like, never seen it and we were like,
We're like.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
How did you work here? Though people ask you questions,
He's like, I don't know. He went to the bar
from the office and it's themed the Office. He had
never seen the show.

Speaker 3 (52:10):
What a weird interview process that must have been.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
Everybody. So there's people who work at Chaos Bar who
don't care.

Speaker 3 (52:16):
About me, yeah, but they know about Kentucky.

Speaker 1 (52:21):
Yeah. Well, I mean, I think this guy knew the
Office existed since he was in the bar. But did
you think it'd just be someone that knew the show?

Speaker 2 (52:28):
Every inn to customers, he's like, no, no, my thing,
who's Michael Scott?

Speaker 1 (52:34):
All right? What's next? All right?

Speaker 3 (52:36):
Knew this news coming And within the last forty eight hours,
the popular beverage High Noon has voluntarily recalled some of
its canned vodka Seltzer drinks after some of the cans
were inadvertently mislabeled as Celsius Energy Drinks. You never want
any unintentional alcohol ingestion.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
They're getting sued.

Speaker 3 (52:55):
These cans went to eight different states. They called it
a labeling error from their hand supplier. You think, but
some of the high noon beach variety packs were labeled
as Celsius astro Vibe Energy Drinks Sparkling Blue Rats. And
you can imagine if you're expecting a jolt of energy
from a Celsius and getting a vodka seltzer, that could
change your day a little bit.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
Yeah, they're getting sued bad. Oh yeah, I mean some
mistakes happen. You recall kind of harmleing, no harm, no foul,
giving someone alcohol when they're trying to get energy. If
there been any stories come out, there's gonna be kids,
people driving, Yeah, people at work just trying to get
to the day, drinking energy drink, not expecting to get

(53:36):
a big swig of vodka because it is real alcohol.

Speaker 1 (53:40):
Yeah. I mean this all I could think is as
a former lawyer, like they're getting they're getting sued. I mean,
also you wonder how do you make this mistake? How
many cans they say it was.

Speaker 3 (53:50):
I didn't say cans. It's at eight different states.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
It went out too?

Speaker 2 (53:53):
Was South Dakota a lot? Because I drink these on
myself to go to road trip.

Speaker 3 (53:57):
I could have put my family in Jeffrey made check,
but which have the blue ress because they don't have
the same parrot company either, So like, how does this happen?

Speaker 1 (54:04):
So they literally put a different Yeah, wow, so maybe
this coke is orange juice coke have real drinking anything? Now? Well,
I mean it does show we it we put things
in our body that we one hundred percent trust are

(54:24):
what they say they are. But I mean, who knows.

Speaker 3 (54:27):
No, South Dakota drews in the states Florida, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma,
South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Speaker 1 (54:34):
Those are huge states Florida, New.

Speaker 3 (54:36):
York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia, Wisconsin, Michigan.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
So I thought it would be like a region. So
they only send it to big states they for luck.
They also seem to disproportionately go after swing states something. Wow, Well,
good luck to whatever the vodka company is or Celsius.
You're in trouble. What's next?

Speaker 3 (55:02):
All right, let's talk a little TV.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
We got a couple of topics here.

Speaker 3 (55:05):
The first is that ESPN has cut ties with Shannon
Sharp following the settlement of his sexual assault lawsuit. Sharp
lost or Sharp last appeared on ESPN in April, but
he has publicly denied the allegations from his ex girlfriend.
They have since settled. Uh, he called it a shakedown Sharp.

Speaker 1 (55:26):
Girlfriend ex girlfriend? Yeah? So did he they call it
a girlfriend or was that.

Speaker 3 (55:31):
Like, ah ex girlfriend OnlyFans model by the way.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
But were they like in a relationship.

Speaker 3 (55:38):
To my knowledge, yes, it was not only that he
was also emotionally abusive as well as.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (55:46):
Sharp has since said this news has come out that
he is at peace with the end of his run
at ESPN, but he's upset that the news has come
out now because this weekend his older brother gets enshrined
into the Hall of Fame and he hoped for that
news to wait until that happened. But Shannon Sharp is out.
And the other TV news is that Barstool Sports has

(56:08):
made a deal with Fox. Dave Portnoy will appear on
Big Noon Kickoff during the college football season, and Barstool
will have daily programming on Fox Sports One during the season.

Speaker 1 (56:19):
Well, I mean, I don't know how you lump those
two things together. Their fa I think those are very different.
TV news, that's the news, Okay, grats those barstool guys.
I think that's probably a smart move. I don't know.
I don't know how PORTNOI will work out on the
Fox thing, but but have in their programming I think
probably makes sense. Back to Shannon Sharp, I like how

(56:41):
he's like, how dare you ESPN ruined my brother's hall
of fame? First of all, that's a quite a reach, right,
you think ESPN was like, all right, and Sharp's brothers
being inducted in the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 2 (56:54):
Let's make sure we do it on Tuesday right before,
I mean when he's when he did the settlement, then
his job was over. Like he had to have known
when he settled that case.

Speaker 1 (57:07):
And I'm not saying he did it, didn't do it,
should have settled not But once you settle, you're not
gonna have your job.

Speaker 2 (57:14):
So like he can't be surprised, right, No, And what
a fall? Didn't he just get that huge I remember
the number. It was like astronomical. Yeah, it was pretty
fresh right before this came out. And then now you're back.
I mean, he'll probably land somewhere because that's the world
we live in. But he dropped a big bag at ESPN.
And then the woman she like retired right OnlyFans. I

(57:37):
saw a story about how much women are making on OnlyFans.
I could not believe it.

Speaker 3 (57:43):
It rivals the best athletes today.

Speaker 1 (57:45):
Forty to fifty million dollars some, I mean not all,
but but some. That's crazy to me. I mean that's
like shocking in some ways that people would make that
make that much. And then but I saw one of
the him and I saw an interview with her. She
seemed pretty smart, and she's like, at twenty three, I'm retired. Now.

Speaker 2 (58:06):
Well, what's crazier to me isn't what they're making. It's
I've seen some things of what an individual will. Yeah,
Like there are dudes that have spent five million on
only fans, on someone they've never met. Yeah, they're just
send them gifts and writing them Like, that's crazy to
me than actually making the money.

Speaker 1 (58:23):
Someone just sitting a five million money to someone, to
a stranger.

Speaker 3 (58:27):
The lonely sick people out there.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
Yeah, so did you see ESPN or Well, there are
some rumors that first take might hire Ocho Cinco to
replay Shannon Shark. Now, for people who don't know, o
Jo Cinco is Shannon Sharp's co host on Shannon's podcast,
All right, Like can you do that if you're Ocho Cinco?
Like if I give them like getting in trouble and

(58:54):
ESPN hiring you to work with Myra.

Speaker 2 (58:57):
I think you would have to talk to him and
commun in case Shan's like, sure, go do it, go
get your money, but you would need to have a conversation.

Speaker 3 (59:02):
It would be awkward. Brocu slide into his seat.

Speaker 1 (59:05):
Well that's a good quay. Is it a bro code thing?
But like, if you're o Jo Sinko, it's a heck
of an opportunity. I mean if you get to slide
in next stephen A, that's like everybody who's done that,
it's gotten rich. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
If I'm Shannon, I'm probably saying have at it. I'm
done with them, Go make what you can off of them.

Speaker 1 (59:22):
Yeah, well, uh, that was It's a lot of money
that he because you're right, he had just signed too.
And it feels like, I mean Shannon Sharp was riding
so high after that Cat Williams interview. Oh yeah, I
mean that Cat Williams interview might be the biggest podcast
interview of all time. Do you think is that the

(59:45):
biggest one of all time? I'm not knowing if it's
the most watched, but in terms of talked about, can
you think of more than Shannon Sharp and Kat Williams
only one?

Speaker 3 (59:56):
You're gonna laugh at me for saying, what's that? I
mean something either Joe Logan related or Copper Carlson with putin.

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
Oh, it's much bigger than Tucker Carlson putin. Maybe, I mean,
Joe Rogan's a bigger podcast. But can you think of
one interview that was as big as shit? Maybe? Maybe?
But I feel like people's I mean, can you remember
anything Trump said on that?

Speaker 3 (01:00:20):
But it was like a quote shift.

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
I can quote you fifty things Cat Williams said on
an interview with Shandon Charp, Like I remember listening to
that interview in the parking lot of an Indian restaurant
and I could not leave. I was so mesmerized by it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
Like broke YouTube records. I tried to google on the fly.
It has one hundred million views and Shannon Sharp got
five hundred thousand subscribers just from that episode a hundred
million views. Yeah, whoa, he got five hundred thousand subscriptions
just from that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
Did that do anything though? For Catwait?

Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
Like his cat Williams, he's touring now, but I think
it was already. He's also somebody that's already made his money.
I don't think he's even looking for you.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
Know, that's one thing we've seen over the years. Once
rich people make their money, they don't care anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:01:05):
Well, that cat's a different cat.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
He buddies with him.

Speaker 3 (01:01:11):
No, he's just you know, he thinks that that looks
at things a little differently. That's why the interview was
a little it was so popular, right, Yeah, what makes.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
It so popular is also he predicted things that have all.

Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
Been pretty true kind before it happened in some ways,
didn't He said twenty twenty five, all these everything's coming
to light and these people are going down, right, And
he did both those So it's like a meme now,
like if someone's a prediction, you put like the Cat
Williams meme up like. But he also was like he
also would say stuff, didn't He say something like he
could shoot like fifty eight in golf and he read

(01:01:44):
a book a day when he was like seven. That's
the tough thing. Though. He got some stuff right, so
it's hard just to dismiss everything else he's said a
little too close to the sun with everything he was
saying was entertaining though, and then I saw him on
other stuff and it wasn't quite as good for whatever reason.
For whatever reason, that hit the perfect you know, that

(01:02:07):
hit the perfect thing, you know, and.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
It probably got new life is each thing he said,
you know, like did he.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
There's some good rest of Cat Williams with Theovon too,
because you could tell Cat Williams like doesn't really know
who Theovon is and he's discovering him as it happens,
and he's amused by him, and so like there's some
good clips of that. Yeahs making him laugh a lot.
Yeah he was because because you know Theovon, this is
before THEO decided he was a political scientist, and this
is when he was just like, do you ever look
at a piece of poe and wonder if it's looking

(01:02:35):
back at you? And he would say things like that,
and Cat Williams would just start cracking up. Brancus. Cat
Williams was very high into all right, what's neck life
moves fast, but every now and then you got to
slow down and savor the goodness of it. That's where

Speaker 3 (01:03:37):
Two more. We'll stay in the sports realm for this one. Yeah,
This Saturday is a pretty cool event. The MLB Speedway
Classic will be taking place in Tennessee on Saturday at
Bristol Motor Speedway. If you remember, it was Tennessee versus
Virginia Tech in a college football game in twenty sixteen. Well,
now will be the first ever MLB game played in
the state of Tennessee. And also they have built a
field in the infield of Bristol Motor Speedway. Eighty six

(01:04:01):
thousand tickets have already been sold for this event. It
will be the most watched MLB game in person. It'll
be the third place Cincinnati Reds in the NL Central
and the last praise place Braves in the NL East. Uh,
there's a lot of things going on at this They've
got special uniforms that are an ode to Nascar. They've
got pregame concerts with Tim McGraw pit Bull and Jake

(01:04:21):
Owen Pitbull. Okay, go ahead, and uh, you know, I
guess there's some other festivities going on. I could not
verify them, but there are talks of I guess interviewing
players in cars during the game and some other fun stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
But that's happening this Saturday, And like, I like, how
you go, I could not verify them. Just a minute ago,
you did a story that was like they're saying on
the internet the people. Yes, okay, uh, you know you're
for people who don't know he's a Braves fan. I'm
a Reds fan, so is bot. I got the hat,
you got the Braves Jersey six siding. I wish both

(01:05:00):
teams were a little better, but hey, you're hot. We're
doing good. But this is fun, right, eighty six thousand
people for a.

Speaker 2 (01:05:09):
Baseball I have not watched a full baseball game, at
least on TV. I like going to games, but have
not tuned in for a full game. I can't even
remember when I am not missing a second of everything
going on Saturday Night.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
So Johnny Bench and Chipper Jones are going to drive
a race car to start. Johnny Bench is old. I mean,
what would happen if they wreck? I don't know if
they are they driving. I think they're driving. What if
Johnny Bench says Rubbins racing and puts Chipper in the wall.

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
I could see him doing that. I can play golf
of Johnny Bench Election Children's Charity Classic.

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
Wouldn't that be kind of awesome? Though? If one of
them put the other one in the wall.

Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
Yeah, just complete fight before they even go to baseball.
I think that would be pretty cooler doing the first pitch.
Bench is catching for bench is catching.

Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
That's Billy.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
No. The biggest takeaway though, I wrote a KSR post
on this titled Reds and Braves to make History at
the Speedway Classic featuring pit Bull. I can't believe pit Bull.
This is Bristol the Braves.

Speaker 1 (01:06:16):
I hate pit Bull. When's the last time pit Bull
had a song.

Speaker 3 (01:06:18):
He's a cultural iconnesse. I mean, the FIU football stadium
is named after him.

Speaker 1 (01:06:25):
This is a country. This is Nascar. Yeah, if it's
the Latin you know, if they're playing like I don't know,
Real Madrid versus Vera Cruz Mexico in Miami, they're not
gonna ask Brad Paisley to sing at it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:42):
Baseball's got a large Latin American audience, doesn't it.

Speaker 1 (01:06:46):
Well, I get okay, now, that's that's probably the reason, Billy.
That was a smart comment. And it's cruse and when
they thought akuna's una but he's heard. Okay, look at
this for the first time in my life, I will say, point, Billy,
you're right, that's probably why they're doing it. That's that's

(01:07:07):
a fair point.

Speaker 2 (01:07:08):
I still think it's stupid because, well everything it's Tennessee
base Both pitchers are from Tennessee. I mean they're playing
up the NASCAR obviously, first ever Major League baseball in Tennessee.
It's all Tennessee, Tennessee, Tennessee, Tennessee. And here's pit bull.
But Billy does give a good explanation. And my second
favorite thing of the game of the secondary stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:07:27):
Who's your boy?

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
Your catcher Stevenson Tyler Stevens. Have you seen what he's wearing?
Catcher gear? Is the Ricky Bobby Talladeay outfit. Yes, he's
going as Ricky Bobby.

Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
Oh, I want to see that? Is that posted it
right now? Here you go? Yeah, he's got a it
says reds.

Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
But it's the Wonderbread logo like like Ricky Bobby.

Speaker 1 (01:07:55):
Oh, his helmet the blue and white. Now that it's
very cool. That's okay. See, I like this. This is
this is smart for baseball. I'm still trying to decide
on Thursday night whether I'm going. It just seems like
it's gonna be such a hassle. But I also would
love to be in the stadium for the game. Yeah,

(01:08:16):
it seems like it would be a cool event.

Speaker 2 (01:08:17):
They're numbers they use like the NASCAR NASCAR fonts.

Speaker 1 (01:08:21):
I tried to buy one. You know, the hats kind
of look like you could buy them at a gas
stations on it the Brase one has flames, the Reds
one has checker boys or you know, race checker boards.
It looks like it really looks like you could get
it at the speedway in Johnson City.

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
Don't you buy NASCAR gear at gas stations and kind
of playing into the hole you do?

Speaker 1 (01:08:42):
And I tried to buy the reds hat and they're
sold out. They're they're out of them, they don't have
any because you know, it's a good it's a good
way to get the good old boys into which gets
my question of what are other crossovers you would like
to see? Like would you what's something you think would
be fun bringing two sports together. I've got one n

(01:09:05):
h R A at Augusta National. All right, set that up,
just drag race down the amen corner.

Speaker 3 (01:09:15):
If the patrons would like that very much.

Speaker 1 (01:09:18):
That would be hard to pull off.

Speaker 2 (01:09:20):
I like the vision, though, trying to think of venues
that sports shouldn't fit in there.

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
Like plays basketball game, like at Wimbledon.

Speaker 2 (01:09:28):
Uh huh, or in the US Open Stadium up there
in New York.

Speaker 1 (01:09:31):
Well, they do wrestling at the US Open Stadium and
Arthur Ash They there have been multiple wrestling shows there.

Speaker 2 (01:09:38):
I would love to watch a football game on a
hockey rinks.

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
That would be awesome. I mean, on the hockey that's
a little danger I think that would be I mean
it's it's certainly less dangerous or less more likely to
happen in the n h r A at at Augusta National.

Speaker 2 (01:09:58):
I remember the college game on the air craft carrier,
but I don't remember if it worked.

Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
It didn't work because the floor got wet. They canceled it.
I have that memory. Yeah, and they people were falling
and they stopped the game at like halftime, if I
remember correctly. They did it twice. First time it worked,
but it was windy, and so the final score was
like forty three to forty one. So I had to
jump in the ocean and get the ball. Second time
they it was it got wet because of the condensation.

(01:10:24):
I like the effort.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
I like when they try things like dude.

Speaker 1 (01:10:27):
At the hockey game they always have outside in the
football stadiums. I think those are.

Speaker 2 (01:10:30):
They're going to break a seventy year old attendance record.

Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
Yeah, and so good for reds and brakes. All right,
what's the last piece of news?

Speaker 3 (01:10:35):
All right, our final piece of news. It's Telemuney telecommunications
company Optimum has surveyed Americans, and I have two interesting
data points that I want to discuss with you guys.

Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
So this is a survey of all Americans, not all Americans,
say every single American. Yeah. I didn't get pulled for this.
They didn't come to by door. They surveyed every person. Okay,
Data point number one.

Speaker 3 (01:11:04):
Americans with working internet at home average more than ten
hours a day accessing the web. Five point four hours
is spent streaming or watching television, while another five hours
is spent on your phone browsing on the internet. Americans
spend over a ten hours a day if they have internet.

Speaker 1 (01:11:22):
I believe that. I completely believe that. If you're going
to count streaming and presumably if you're streaming and on
your phone you're getting double counted, then yes, I completely
believe that's true.

Speaker 2 (01:11:33):
Yeah, And I mean, personally, I'll fly over it because
I work from home, but a lot of people work
from home. I mean you wake up, you're looking at
your phone, getting on your computer, turn your TV on,
and then we're done working, getting back on your phone,
your computer.

Speaker 1 (01:11:44):
So this is ten hours at home, so that doesn't
even count when you're.

Speaker 3 (01:11:46):
At correct, Yes, this is accessing your home internet.

Speaker 1 (01:11:51):
Well, I guess you're if you're double countings when you
say accessing the home internet, like I mean, I have
a camera that's on my home internet or is it
me actively scrolling and doing?

Speaker 3 (01:12:02):
The camera category was not in the distinctions that were said.

Speaker 1 (01:12:06):
That is a lot though we are we you I've
said this, I think on this podcast before. In for
thirty years, forty years, this will be looked at as
a changer of American health. These phones, like cigarettes, were
where people look back and go. I can't believe we

(01:12:26):
didn't realize what cigarettes did to people's health. I mean,
I don't know that will get rid of phones. I'm
sure we won't, but like people are going to go.
I cannot believe how they went unregulated for so long
because it's going. It's there's no doubt in my mind.
Phones change people's brains, and they with people Mario's age
and younger. None of them have an attention span more

(01:12:49):
than thirty seconds because of them.

Speaker 3 (01:12:52):
It's that dopamine addiction. But my question is is that
number only going to go up.

Speaker 1 (01:12:59):
I think be a little bit of a retreat for
people going like I want to get away a more
natural life. But yeah, it's not gonna go I don't
think it's gonna go down a lot either.

Speaker 2 (01:13:09):
You know, last night I was reading a book and
I actually made a point. I had a little little
soft music, little reading music, oh reading, but I was
like ten pages in the book and I picked up
my phone and just looked at Twitter, and I actually
got mad at myself and threw the phone across the room, like,
can you not make it fifteen minutes? I'm looking at
that damn thing.

Speaker 1 (01:13:24):
It's hard. I'm a big reader. I love to read.
I read every day. It is very hard for me
to read more than twenty pages at a time. I
can read twenty pages, do something for a couple of minutes,
then come back. But I used to be able to
sit when I was younger, and I could read a
book in a day. My brain just does not let

(01:13:46):
me do that anymore. And I so there's no doubt
in my opinion, I know it's had an effect on me,
so I'm sure it's had an effect on other people.
All right, what was the other one?

Speaker 3 (01:13:54):
Well, the other data point I have is that forty
three percent of Americans would leave their romantic partner for
one million dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:14:02):
Wow, partner? Is that wife or is that any whoever?
Any whoever? You're in a relationship with it? It did not.
That doesn't surprise me. Forty I fIF it's not. I'd
be fascinating what the number is for married because on
a for dating.

Speaker 2 (01:14:20):
And you got split that if you're married for five
hundred thousand. If I was being smart, that was good.

Speaker 1 (01:14:26):
That is good. If I was being smart, I would
have taken that at every moment in my life because
all those relationships ended, and nobody gave me a million
dollars you could international loan, not a million dollars for

(01:14:48):
every time. My goodness, So this forty three seemed higher
low to you? That seems pretty high. Now.

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
If it's more than a million, I could see it
getting forty three, but million and seem like a life
changing money to probably wreck your significant other and have
to live with that guilt, or maybe you're just.

Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
Let's let's do some math. What percentage of marriage.

Speaker 3 (01:15:11):
Is end and divorced more than fifty percent?

Speaker 1 (01:15:13):
Okay, so let's say let's just say it's fifty percent.
At any given moment, how many people are in a
marriage where they wish it would end? Oh god, I'm
just no, just at any moment? What what percentage? If
I'm right now, were to poll all Americans, what percent
would tell you I wish I wasn't in this marriage? Fifteen? Yeah,

(01:15:40):
let's say fifteen fifteen, So fifteen are doing it for
no money? Good point, good way to spend this. So
fifty you're doing it for no money? Then daty? I
mean what percentage of people date breakup? Ninety six? Right?
So I think you can get to forty three pretty easy.

(01:16:01):
And there are definitely people besides the fifteen who you
go million dollars, that fifteen goes up to at least
twenty to twenty five when you break down the math
makes sense. Yeah, I mean I have friends I know
they wish they weren't man, but like it is what
no one's called them with a million dollars. It's in
my close ones, not you all the other ones.

Speaker 3 (01:16:24):
But like, but if you're in love. A million's a
little low, right.

Speaker 1 (01:16:29):
No, if you're in love. The answer to this question
is clearly no. But how many what percentage marriages do
you think they're not in love anymore? It's more than fifteen.

Speaker 3 (01:16:39):
Yeah, that's why we got fifty percent of marriages in
and divorce.

Speaker 1 (01:16:43):
I mean, yeah, forty three to me might be lowly.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
When you when you play you know like that, I
kind of want to change my stance.

Speaker 1 (01:16:53):
I think it's I think it's long. Yeah, I think
it is. It's hard conversation because I can't ask you
all like would you do it? Because you can't answer
that even if it was true.

Speaker 2 (01:17:02):
So I mean, I I'm kidding, I wouldn't It would
be interesting and we would never get a real answer
of people that are in love and a higher amount
of money. Number is like would you break someone's heart
that you love for X amount of dollars? But this
kind of is too broad for that, and we'd never
get that real answer.

Speaker 1 (01:17:20):
I'm trying to sit there and think, there's ever been
a moment in my life the answer the question wouldn't
have been never. Yes, No, there were there a few
couple of moments that it wouldn't have been yes, But
some of the times I was in serious relationships, I
really needed the money. I didn't have any money. You know.

(01:17:41):
It went a long way on the website. Oh, I
mean when I I went through a period from two
thousand when I left Frost Brown Todd in two thousand
and eight, because I made good money at Frost Brown Tip.
When I left Frost Brown Todd and started Jones and
Bruce a terrible decision. No, I love my friend Johnny

(01:18:01):
so much. We didn't have any idea what we were doing.
From two thousand and eight to about two thousand and eleven,
I had no money at all, and I would check
the traffic on the site trying to decide if I
could go out to dinner that weekend. Like, I had

(01:18:24):
no money. So during that period, if you had asked me,
I'd have been like, although, you know, I'm kidding, but seriously,
I can see that number being that high.

Speaker 2 (01:18:38):
Yeah, you talked me into it. When you framed it
that way. I didn't consider the people that would leave
for twenty dollars right now.

Speaker 1 (01:18:44):
Yeah, And when we hired Drew and TJ what little
money I had with to them. Yeah, So it was
just Johnny and I would sit there in our law
office and go, man, I hope somebody shows up today.
Just go on the street. You might need a divorce.

(01:19:04):
But there was a moment, there was like two months
where I thought, I'm gonna just have to quit KSR.
There's no way, there's no way financially I can do this.
And then then col got here. That was the turning point. Yeah,
cow went from us losing money to like a padroo
and that was a good decision, and I was rolling
money in two thousand and nine. Myself, Did you work

(01:19:27):
at Tony Roman Malone? I write at tables working for KSR. Yeah,
so it actually got a little weird because I got
a little bit of known. But then I was writing tables.
People coming in and like I'm reading your website right now.
I'm like, yeah, you want Pepsi's let's get this moving. Yeah,
you had a period of time. Tony Kornheiser has talked
about this, there's a period of time that's really weird.

(01:19:48):
When you're famous but poor, that's a weird time. Like
I'm poors, you know, but like struggling, that's a weird
time because you can walk around and people go, well,
what are you doing nightly at Malone's for me? Yeah?
What do you do? And you're like, we're in a
tuxedo carrying this tree. What do you want? Man?

Speaker 3 (01:20:09):
You know, well, you're famous, you must have money. Oh yeah,
I'm a sentiment.

Speaker 1 (01:20:15):
I would say I didn't like start having the money
people thought I had until like four or five years,
you know, like even going to twenty twelve, thirteen, fourteen,
fifteen sixteen, I didn't have a lot of money and
put people like, oh, you're on television that local news

(01:20:36):
reporters get this, Like people think local news reporters make money.
They don't make a lot of money local news reporters.
That's probably more true about them than anybody. They are
significantly more famous than they are rich, all of them
pretty much. Wouldn't you agree?

Speaker 2 (01:20:50):
Oh yeah, I mean people joke like, you know, we'll
be a games and you make the joke. You know,
we don't get into sports media to get rich. I
mean not many people covering you know, college basketball is
making a great living.

Speaker 1 (01:21:02):
There. Yes, I mean there are people who you know,
I don't care where you're listening. There's people you see
on TV every day and you think and you everyone
in town knows them and they're still grinding. So it's life.
That's life.

Speaker 2 (01:21:19):
Yeah, this was off on a little we did. This
was last week on KSR. We kind of went back
in history and.

Speaker 1 (01:21:25):
We're well this and Billy nice job on the news.
Not so depressing, thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:21:30):
I had to go into the TikTok world a little bit,
so you.

Speaker 1 (01:21:33):
Still got to in the future try to figure out
who they are and we and we and let's just
let's move on from American Eagle. It doesn't matter. It
really doesn't matter to anything. Yeah, I don't see it.
Later
