(00:01):
Third week of college football season.Now in full swing of the season,
I mean the third week and uh, but guys looking better. I had
a friend text me and he goes, bo, guys, finally look good.
I'm like, finally, it's onlythe third game of the year and
he got a brand new quarterback,Heartline taking over as offensive coordinator. But
the ending of the game, myhusband and I were watching TV and he's

(00:22):
like, you got to see thisending of the game. Missouri Kansas tied
up and this happened. Let meplay this sound for you because it's kind
of fun and they'll do it.Oh, went back to the beginnings.
That's not the part I wanted tobe here anyway. They hit, the

(00:45):
crowd's going, the crowd rushed thefield boots. It's always good this at
all because one yard walk off,game winning field goal at the end of
the game, Missouri over Kansas.But that's the fun of college sports.
You know, I'm with you whenyou you said a few weeks ago you
hate to see a game so lopsided. You hate to see when like Ohio

(01:07):
State plays a Western Kentucky or aYoungstown State. You know, do you
hate those type of games? Ido. And I understand's about money.
Money's evil. But I did watchthe Pitt West Virginia game. Pitt look
pathetic. Oh my gosh, theywere just like they couldn't their quarterbacks.
Poor kids. Thinks he just couldn'tget get his groove on. Man,
I don't know what happen. Imean, I guarantee someone out there's say,

(01:30):
well, you never played quarterback.I know, but I'm a fan
and I'm alive West Virginia Pitts.We used to go a lot of them
games growing up because we are rightcentrally located. It's fun, but it
was called the they have a gamefor It's like a big rivalry game,
and Pitt usually I think Pitt usuallywins. I don't know. Again,
I don't follow it that much,but you know I'm saying it to you
earlier. I love Joe Burrow.We know that, so do you.

(01:52):
We love his mom, we loveher curtains, but just like the person
he is. I've never met JackBurrow, but I like the good human
that he is. I almost fiveplus million a month. We talked about
that last week, and so Bootsand I were wondering, you know,
we love college sports I mean collegesports, they're running that with pay though
YOL, with the whole transfer portaland the nil deals and like that.

(02:12):
But it is getting a little morelike professional ball. And we're here watching
the Bengals right now and it's thirteenBaltimore Cincinnati ten. But we're asking you,
do professional athletes make too much money? Are they worth all the money
that they make? What do youthink I and Lebron James worth a billion
dollars? A billion dollars billion?The CEO of GM makes this what do

(02:37):
you think she makes? I'll saytwo million, twenty nine million dollars in
their minds. So here's what bothersme. And this is where I get
a little bit democratic. Okay,I'm not because I'm okay with someone starting
a business and inventing something and makingmillions. But what I'm not okay with

(02:59):
me personally is just because she's aCEO GM, and she stood up there
and said that we can't afford topay the workers any more money, well
twenty nine million dollars a year.But yet how does she make it?
Right? I mean, I'm sorry, I just think so if you think
professional athletes make too much money,which I'm open to hearing your opinions.

(03:21):
People listen, are listening. Callus up at six one four eight two
one nine eight eight six six onefour eight two one nine eight eight six.
In our United States of America,which profession do you think should make
the most money? Who should bethe highest trade professionals. Now, some
will argue and say, you goout there and get your brains knocked out
for eight years, But it's theirchoice too. I grew up playing a

(03:43):
game that they love. They wantto be professional athlete, right if you
can get paid playing a game.So but know what I'm saying and say
you make twenty million dollars as aline left guard, because I don't think
the lineman get paid that well.So you're there for six years, you
had a bad knee injury, youwalk away with twenty thirty million dollars in
your bank account, plus all thefree stuff you get and all the endorsements,

(04:03):
and you marry a hot cheerleader.I mean, you got the world,
right, So I can see thatargument to a point. But you
know, an auto worker or asteel mill worker or a coal miner,
they'll never make that much money ina lifetime, and their brains are getting
kicked out too, with black loongacid things they breathe in things profession Do

(04:25):
you think should get paid the most? I just think there should be a
cap. I mean, you gotall these left wing always saying well you
pay more taxes, rich and evenmore packed, and then they put Lebron
James on a pedestal and they said, well he has a school and he
has no that's pennies for him.He just does it because his PR guy's
like, look do this do that. I don't think he truly cares,
but if if he makes it looklike he does, then he won't look

(04:46):
in the fact that he's a billionaire. He's a billionaire playing basketball that he
set up though those kids are notpassing the grades and the subjects that they're
supposed to. Yeah, there's beena lot of controversy there that as well,
and he probably writes it all off. I mean, he punked Cleveland
from what I understand, and movedto Florida so you didn't have to pay
state taxes, income tax. SoI mean he's been chasing and Hill will

(05:10):
never be Michael Jordan. He can'tpull it off. Michael Jordan's over a
billion dollars too. But you know, at what point if you're going to
spread the love with taxes, spreadthe love with salaries. If that's your
argument, don't tax a guy thatinvented velcro or the Domino's guy or Papa
John's or who. If you inventsomething and everybody buys into your product and

(05:30):
you're making changed because of the salesthat you invented, because you created something
that people need or want, allthe power to you. I don't think
you should be capped off for that. I think the more you do something
to change someone's life and it's theirchoice to buy into what you invented,
all the power too. Yeah,but one millionaire quarterback gets kicked out,
new millionaire quarterback comes in. That'snot like you're reinventing the wheel. You're

(05:54):
just a quarterback. How's that one? And then you think about doctors.
Hey, you know what doctors are. I'm okay with doctors making all the
mon in the world. They're fixingme. So I don't want to be
hypocritical. We want your opinion,We want to know eight two one TV
in ninety eight eighty six, Thisis raw Minian Boots on news radio six
ten protected by titletale dot Com whereit's profession in the United States of America

(06:16):
should make the most money, Linda. Before we get to you, Jennifer
called in to answer that question.What do you say, Jennifer, Hi
there. Well, Boots kind oftook over from me because I was thinking
people in the medical profession, andI'm a veterinarian. So I'm going to
include veterinarians in that because of howmuch they care for what they do to

(06:36):
help your pets and to keep thefamily together, because pets, we know,
are important for family health. ButI also want to include pastors.
And I don't mean you know,I think in any profession you have good
people and you have not so goodright that whatever they do whe they're a
pastor or doctor, or veterinarian ora football player. But I do think

(06:59):
we put away to which episodes onsports and entertainment and paying these people astronomical
amounts of money all. On theother hand, Mendy, I agree with
you. If someone has invented somethingthat people want to need and they're willing
to pay for it, I haveno problem with that person making money from
that. We love you listening yourspot On. I don't think you'd find
too many people who would argue withboth of your points there, and I

(07:19):
think we agree with you spot On. A friend of mine is a doctor.
Her name's Kathy, and she textsme and she said, listening to
your show, teachers could never becompensated enough. So there you go,
Jennifer. Yeah, but I willsay thanks, thank you for calling.
I will say though teachers are finallypaid, though they really are. They're
paid very very well, and they'reoff all summer. And yeah, we

(07:44):

my niece works in Maryland. Shegets paid the not so all right,
just grave Linda, Linda will letI always let hand hit the buttons.

because Linda's out there saving lives andteaching people how do better protect themselves?
Right, Linda? Yes? Absolutely? How are you guys doing today?

new dude. Dot's it look like, Linda? Oh, I'm just letting
it be Gray yeah, hot,Grandma, you know what you're going.
You've accepted it. You're going forward, and you're letting age just set on

(08:28):
looks good. I think the job. How what do you think which profession
in the United States should make themost money? Teachers? Absolutely, teachers
there we go as long as theyteach reading. Ready, I'm get married
to someone making like voufoo. Doyou hear that, Randy? Yeah,

(08:48):
yeah, that's the ones who's bringingup our youth to uh you know sometimes
that's their only parents. And whatthey have to put up with today in
schools, Oh, my goodness,terrible. So what's going on? Advance?
All kinds of big hunting deals.So it is hunting season, and

(09:09):
so we have deals on cameras andblinds and tree stands and guns, of
course, but you know all thoseaccessories you need, Well, that's good.
So what how about AMMO? AndI know you've got plenty of you
know, tree climbers and what haveyou. But how's the AMMO looking?
Amos looking great? Good? Good? Absolutely? So I'll tell I'll tell

(09:30):
you a quick storyland. I usedto inspect my shells when I used to
deer hunt, and I used totake the bad ones and give them to
the other guys in the camp.So as soon as I pulled up,
they'd all be running my car gettingmy Sabbath slugs because I made sure they're
in a very year old I don'twhat's your take on old AMO, though,
especially when it comes to deer slugs. I'm not a fan of shooting
a ten year old slug, Linda. I thought he was gonna say,

(09:52):
I'm not a fan of shooting aten year old. He's scared me for
a second. You gotta watch itwhen the stock and exact. No,
actually, old AMMO is fine aslong as it's stored properly, like they're
still using AMMO from the World Wartwo area era. But it just has
to be stored dry. But what'swhat? What kind of inspection should you

(10:15):
do on the casings and stuff?Because I had to get some plastic surgery
on my mug because I had agun on my bolt action. The brass
of the slug came apart in apiece of metal in my face. When
was that ninety six? Yeah,you definitely want to make sure there's no
gaps between the casing and the youknow, the bullet or the top of
the shell or whatever. Okay,make sure there's no corrosion. Yeah,

(10:41):
no dense in the casing or youknow, in the primary area. So
that's just the big things to letfor make sure the the depth the bullet
hasn't been pushed into the casing.Okay, cause problem. So you know,
like one of the best things Ido for my birthday every year is
change out my carry emirthday. Ido it every year too. I go

(11:03):
shoot him off. I shoot himfirst though, yep, yes, yes,
all right, So how they geta hold of you, Linda Vansas
