Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, per our intro, it was only half fake news.
We do have an award winning filmmaker in studio today,
but it's not Deborah Flora. The usual Christian Tooto Hollywood
Tooto dot com with me, Ryan Schuling and also very
happy to introduce Joseph Granda, who's with us. Joseph, thank
you so much for taking the time. Thank you for
having me tell us more about the schologist. I think
I said that correctly. I should say that trailer we
(00:22):
just heard there.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
It's a word that I primarily invented to find one
who looks for bigfoot a living, and believe it or not.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
There are guys out there that do that.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah, this film is a you know, it's a throwback
to those great independent films that vibe and that feeling
of the nineteen nineties where there weren't over over effects
and over proselytizing. And you know, it does have a
mixed cast in there, so it will qualify for an Oscar.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
So.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I did find an African American friend of mine to
do a role and a couple other things in there,
so that is my African America.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Hey, my favorite Chris Grundy.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Great, Yeah, so it's basically it's about an older guy
who's been looking for this one sasquatch his whole life
and reluctantly takes a young kid with him to learn
the ways of what they call squatching.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I learned that because I also.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Play the lead role in it along with the being
the writer director, and so he reluctantly takes this kid
along the ways and on this journey. It's sort of
a coming of aid story where out there they discover
what they're really looking for, and it's it's those things
we didn't get as children, you know, not having fathers
or having broken homes, and how do we fill those
(01:34):
fill those voids in us? So, you know, in the research,
I went out with some professional squatchers and looking for
Bigfoot and got to know these guys. And at the
end of the day, after hearing this one guy's whole
life story, I turned to him and I said, do
you ever think you're just really looking for your old
man out here? And he does look on his face
(01:55):
like I just like like he was gonna need therapy now.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Like I just destroyed I just or the hairy man
or you helped him or I helped him. I hope.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
So, yeah, Joseph, what led you to this project? It
sounds like you were able to dig deeper, like you
just suggested that there's more to it than just squatching,
like you said, but what led you?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
What was your interest in this subject? You know? What
led me to it?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
You know, as a writer, you can only write about
what you know. And I myself, my father left when
I was ten years old and I never never saw
him again. So you know, as a man who's in
his fifties now, that does leave a mark on you.
And there's a lot of men that have come up
and said, I really, I really connected with this movie
because we all have to go out and look for
(02:37):
something to fill that you know today I feel that
with my faith and squatching, you know, and filmmaking. So
that's that's the genesis of it. And then somebody came
along and really liked the story and said, if you
can make it for X.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Amount of money, I'll give you the money to do it. Now,
you mentioned this film is building momentum. Where has it
been stage seen already? And if listeners in our audience
want to catch at where can they find it?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
So it's right now, it's on the festival circuit.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
So it has won the Winter Parks Best Film at
Winter Park Film Festival, it won Best Film at the
Midwest Weird Fest, and just last week it won Best
Comedy at the more Than Decent Film Festival, which is
named after a famous guy out there in South Carolina.
It just it just showed for a week at the
(03:25):
Estes Park Theater up there. We had the big world
premiere out there, Bigfoot Days. I have been touring around
with it at Sasquatch festivals, which has been fascinating. Uh,
And people really love it and it's a family friendly movie.
So it's going to roll out more more small theaters
around the country and then in the fall you'll be
able to watch it on all your.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Devices in Apple and Amazon and all that kind of stuff.
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Joseph Granda joining us the Sasquologist is the film and
correct me how I'm wrong. But I looked at the
trailer the details of this. There's a tie in to
us here locally, regionally in Colorado.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Yes, so it's all shot here in Colorado. That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah, so it's shot in Hartzel, Colorado. Lots of people
don't know where that is, I own some land there.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
So we shot on that.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
We shot in Jefferson, Colorado, was shot in Como, and
we shot in Bailey. Actually, there's a place in Bailey
called the Sasquatch out Post which you can go to
and buy everything from keychains to underwear with bigfoot on it.
And they got a museum there, they got a Bigfoot
escape room. And then we shot it in Netteland. A
buddy of mine that I play hockey with has forty
(04:30):
acres there and I said, can I shot this film
on here?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
And he said, you can do whatever you want, just
don't burn it down. So yeah, it's all. It's all
shot in Colorado.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Now, Christian, I want to bring you in the conversation
just how your path crossed with Josephs and how you
got to know each other.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Oh gosh, you know, I don't know if I really
remember it.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
We've known each other for years now, and I have
to say as a friend, I could say this is
a really good film, but I can say it also
as a filmmaker, and I know that Joseph's resources were very,
very limited. But when you watch the film, it's beautifully acted,
it's funny, it's sharp, it's interesting and visual, aid's very strong.
I mean, you know, Joseph has an eye for this
kind of storytelling.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
So I remember how we met. There we go, There
we go. I remember how we met. And it wasn't
only fans. Oh no, Joseph Ben excelan feet. You know
who introduced us Nolty from bright Bart News. Oh gosh, Joy.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
John Nolty, because Andrew Breitbart, God rest his soul. I
was one of the first people, along with you, to
write for bright Bart News when it was called Big Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
That's rights like, Oh, I got a friend in Denver. Yeah,
I had this really weird thing.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
I don't have Alzheimer's, I don't have dementia like symptoms,
but my memory is horrible. It's sort of a a
sort of a laughing thing in our family that we
joke about it, but I forget stuff it literally. I
remember when I was a video store clerk in the
nineteen eighties that raising Arizona. We had two copies twenty
six ninety twenty six ninety one that I remember.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
But my dear friend, Joseph, how we met.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I can't tell you again with Christian total Joseph granted
joining us here in studio. Joseph, you started off as
an actor. Now things changed, you became a writer and director.
But take us through what that experience was like. You know,
this entire hour on a weekly basis is called the
right side of Hollywood? But what led you away from
acting Hollywood exactly?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
So you know, I started as an actor in New York.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I went to school there, study theater off Broadway and Broadway,
and then I got a break in a movie called
Amongst Friends in the nineties and moved to LA And
you know, as one matures, if you hope, it's difficult
to do in Los Angeles. I just found myself not
fitting in most especially.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
The real turning point was during Clinton and the Monica
and Winskey thing, because I had voted Democrat before. But
when people said that's just sex, I thought, isn't that
workplace violence? Like he didn't she a twenty something girl
and he's the most powerful man in the world.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
It just didn't sit.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
It was It was the genesis of the change of
my thinking. And then I realized, oh my goodness, I
don't fit in here. I don't fit in here, and
the other thing is Los Angeles, living in Hollywood. It's
the only place in the.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
World where you can somebody.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Can break your heart and then you have to drive
past a billboard with their face on it for the
next three months.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
It's so weird, and so ultimately I left. I actually
wrote a novel about it, called Life to the Right
of Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
That's a whole It's a whole thing that fits in here. Yeah, yeah,
it does fit in here.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Now, one other question I had, based on what Christian
had prepped me with.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
You knew Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I did brilliant actor, and of course he met a
very tragic end. And just the darkness of Hollywood and
how it can engulf a person. Did you see that
happening to him? You know?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Full disclosure since Philip's gone, Yeah, yeah, I knew him
for a long time.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
We've shared a place briefly in New York. He and
I went.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Through rehab, to which I highly recommend if it's needed.
I'm coming up on thirty one years of sobriety. Congratulations, Yeah,
thank you. So so I think that what happens is
when you become really rich, and like if I had
stayed in Hollywood, I'd be super rich and famous right now,
I'd be one hundred pounds overweight, twice of wurce and
three times for rehab or dad is you get surrounded
(08:22):
by people who won't tell you the truth. Just a
really sweet soul. And I just think that that he
got caught up in it and couldn't get out of it.
I remember when he you need people to try and
keep you grounded. I remember when he won his Oscar.
I couldn't get a hold of him, but I called
him and left a message. I said, Hey, Phil, I
don't care how many awards you win. You'll always be
(08:43):
that fat guy on the couch wiping ketchup sauce on
your T shirt, which I saw him doing one time.
So yeah, good, But it's just sad, you know, it's
just sad.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
He was a brilliant actor, and I believe you're talking
about his role in Capoti.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Yes, yeah, and a very funny guy.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Funny guy right in one of my favorite films, The
Big Lebowski, you know, and just a sad loss. Truly,
and Joseph Granda joining us were so grateful for him
to spend some time with us here on the right
side of Hollywood. You who hope it's the first of
many fill in appearances, whether it's Christian or Deborah, or
maybe we have all three.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Maybe you are all three in here go crazy?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yeah, go crazy, folks, exactly now there, Christin. I'm want
to preface this by saying that you and I saw
this film this week, Thunderbolts.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Can we talk about it?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah at all? Okay, here's the trailer. Joseph, have you
seen it yet?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I have not yet.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh wait till it comes to streaming for ninety cents.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Well, here's the trailer for Joseph and everybody else. This
is the trailer for Marvel Studios Thunderbolts.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
We have no reliable heroes, and yet we still need protection.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Witness Invincible, stronger than all of the Avengers rolled into.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
One, and soon to be known as Earth's mightiest hero.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Why would a god take orders from anyone at all?
Maybe I need to show you what I'm capable of.
Sentry's gone off the rails and he's dangerous.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
The Avengers are gone.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
No one is coming to save today. We could be
the people that are coming. Wait us, why you got
someplace to me? I love that guy.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Book.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
You have the wrong people.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
We have all done bad things that you can live
with it forever or you can do something about it.
It's a hero seven people in the streets. There is
no higher calling you guys, gone with therapy. Let's do this.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
You'll may not see what.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I see what the makings of a team, doesn't Rory.
He's gonna use fighting. You're not persea here, you know,
we are the fund of our gault.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Not trying to stay free of spoilers, but Thunderbolts is
kind of the surface of this, and then it gets
be in that as you meant me know, Marvel superhero
movies tend to have those end seeds after the credits.
Those are very important here, so make sure you stick
around if you do. See in the theater Florence Pugh
in the starring role. Julia Louis Dryfus plays the villain
(11:34):
in this, and you heard him a couple of times
there with the Russian accent. David Harbor, to me, really
stole the show, stole some scenes in a good way,
in a positive way, in a heartwarming way. A lot
of reaction that I had to this film very positive, Christian.
But what was your take on it.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Yeah, it's mostly positive too.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
You know, maybe my expectations are so so low at
this point with the MCU because they've been failing us
for a while. But I thought I went back to
basics a bit. It certainly wasn't woke, It certainly had
some colorful characters.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Florence p was just a very good actress.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
And I've seen her movies that I've hated, like mid Samar,
and I just think she's terrific in it. So, you know,
I think casting her matters. You could say, we've seen
this all before for sure, and you know, the whole
talk of we're a team, we're a team, we're misfits,
we're a team. Feel a little bit like the Fast
and the Furious franchise when they talk about family.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
We're family, We're family, We're family.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Right, So a little bit overplayed, I would say, but
overall charming, likable, breezy.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
You know, but the expectations here at sky high. This
is the MCU.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
These movies make a gazillion dollars when they're on target.
I don't think this is a home run, but it's
a clean double, a clean double.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Now it has that kind of theme of b lists
ne'er Duell's kind of second tier heroes. It made me
think a little bit of suicide Squad, Yes, in that way.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Is that accurate? Do you think?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I think so.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Superficially for sure. You know these are anti heroes. These
are pig real who don't really fit in. They're not
exactly cookie cutter. And even the Captain America esque character
played by Wyat Russell's and of Kurt is like a
low riend Captain America like, he has a troubled past.
He doesn't have the heroism there. He knows that's what
he should be doing, but he just can't quite get there.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
See, even his uniform is a little grungy. It's not
rainy the way you would think. So, Joseph, what is
your favorite all time superhero movie?
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Panel?
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Well, first, this movie I find problematic because of the
political climate of the war and having a Russian character.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I find a problematic, especially when they see the movie.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I don't think that we should be. My favorite superhero
movie is The Last The Batman. The Batman, So I've
been Matt Reeves with Robert Pattinson.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Yes, patent, So that was what stood out to you
about that one?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I liked that it seemed true to the original comic
as a tortured sort of soul. I'm not sure that
he really wanted to do this. It was just sort
of what he was doing now out of revenge his father.
And I like the grittiness of it, and like his car,
even his car looked like it really was put together
by him.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah, I liked it.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
I like that so also looking like detective work as
well at detective.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah, he was a real well Batman was a detective. Yeah,
it was a real sort of detective thing, not just
you know.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I like that, with the grittiness and the authenticity, and
it wasn't over the top. I saw the movie and
I liked it. In fact, it was kind of like
my reaction to Thunderbolts here. I went in maybe with
a lower expectation, and I was completely impressed.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
To your point.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Yeah, yeah, the Batman I love because it wasn't just
you know, Ben Affleck puffed up on Dunkin Donuts in
a suit, in a Batman suit, speaking of puffed up
on Duncan donuts.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Great segue, Joseph, Thank you for that. But this was
brought to my attention by Christian Toto. Jenny Kimmel is
Governor JB. Pritzker is enjoying his fifteen minutes or whatever
after his speech earlier this week. It was very odd
appearance though. And we'll have Christian tell you why I
do you hear this clip?
Speaker 6 (15:04):
Well, you know he's going to give you a nickname,
and it's going to be a mean nickname.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
And so we're.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Talking before the show, and I suggested that maybe we
come up with some nicknames for you you can give
to him, because you just don't want to lame one.
You know, nobody wants a lame nickname.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
So you think he's gonna pick the least lame of thing.
He'll probably pick the most.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
Okay, all right, but I think this is kind of
like Eminem and eight Mile, where you know he comes,
he insults himself and wins the rap battle.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Okay, I'm ready. I mean I'm there.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
You go there, so I get to read them, Well,
unless you want me to, I'll be happy I can.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
I can do it, Okay, you wow? Okay, yeah, all right,
you ready? Uh? Here here's the list. JB. Pizza I
like this. JB Beck ribs.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Jam back could be a song with that too, you
know JB lt Uh.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
Huh, ja Biggie, Jbie the Hut, Jay Pritz his Pants,
Kert pritz Crackers, Governor Big Shortz and JB.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
The Refrigerator pritz kerk Now, that's a brilliant one that happens.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
That's got some Chicago bears in there.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Christian.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Why well, you're not supposed to fatch him, generally speaking,
and I think that the left off and does it
to the riot. They'll make fun of Trump's weight from
time to time, but generally that's kind of that's off
limits now. So why would they do this now when
when anyone goes on late night TV there's always a
pre interview. These things don't just happen organically. And it's
certainly double or triplely so with a politician being on
(16:47):
these shows. So I think they're trying to get ahead
of the whole Trump is making fun of him for
his weight, and he is an overweight governor, and they're
trying to make him like, oh, he's in on the joke,
he's funny, he's self deprecating. They're trying to humanize him.
From this perspective, this is no accident because there's no way.
Jimmy Kimmel tells fat jokes to a guest who happens
to be fat.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
No way. So this is all part of what Jimmy
Kimmel is. He's an activist. Word do you yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
You know he looks like he's eating a dunkin donuts.
That's the whole place. And then he backwashed it with
a planned parenthood facility. Oh listen, if that guy the
first off, everybody needs to know that guy is a billionaire.
So if he wants to run for president, he can
put all the money or whatever he wants in there. Sure,
but if he was very serious about being somebody that
(17:33):
wants to support people in America, he would have come
on that show and said, you know what, I'm overweight,
I'm unhealthy. None of us should be this way. And
he should get one famous liberal trainer to start putting
him on a diet, and he should he should document
the whole thing on the lead up to his run
for president and show how you can lose weight and
be somebody better. But he won't because he's lazy, because
(17:55):
he already has his money.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
But that's a brilliant idea. He wanted to get headlines
in a Trumpian way. To have that all documented, you'll
get the tube tide how relatable.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
He's got an weight issue and he's working on it,
and he's going to bring everyone else along with it,
being transparent and getting good tips along the way.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Let's just hope.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Governor Pritzker does not hire Joseph Granda as a consultant,
because that's a great idea.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
We don't want him to have great ideas.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Joseph kind enough to join us in studio along with
Christian Toto on the Right side of Hollywood when we
come back.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
You got it.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Our nominees for our Friday Fool of the Week. You're
on the right side of Hollywood. Try to get to
three candidates. I think I could limit it to four,
but there were just so many worthy nominees and we're
happy to bring in Joseph Granda to the party here.
But we're going to start with something that Christian was
talking about with me during the break. We spoke about
(18:46):
it with Reagan Reese White House correspondent for The Daily Caller,
because it involves for colleague Miles Morell and this poor guy.
He approaches Representative ilhan Omar with a question that seems
pretty legitimate could have come from As I pointed out,
An rajuf CNN worded the exact same way, but because
of the source.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Omar gave this response Congus so and Omar and Miles
Morale with a Daily Calling News Foundation. Do you think
more of your Democratic colleage should be traveling to El
Salvador to advocate on the app of a bittego Garcia.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I think you should.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Yeah, I'm sorry, what Congus, who should you? Why me
if you're not taking any questions right now? But here
you go, uh yeah, thanks, uh yeah, thanks. Oh ooh.
She's edgy and cool and relatable Christian, right, that's why
she did that.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Well she I guess she never gets a hard question ever, ever,
and then that's part of her shock and response.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
But that is so crude and rude. Listen.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
You could say, you know, there are GOP members who
use profanity, You could say there were Democrats, But this
is at a member of the press who asked a
basic question and they deserve a basic answer from her,
and the fact that she couldn't do it, and she
was so proud of her answer. She went on X
and said, darn Wright and basically the repeat the profanity
against him, and all the journalists and all the August
(20:05):
bodies like the White House Correspondence Association. They're not saying
boo because it's a right leaning publication and a right
leaning reporter asking a Democrat a tough question, and they
don't deserve protection. It speaks volumes about her, about the industry,
about journalism, about so much in our culture right now.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Joseph for all the trash Trump with and say that he's,
you know, demolishing norms, and they want to restore civility
to Washington. All they're basically doing is becoming a derivative
version of what they claim. He is no pretensive decorum
whatsoever anymore. And they think that this is going to
get them votes. I guess I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I mean, you know, what do you expect from a
woman who married her brother to get a great guard?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Someone will like him?
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I mean, you know she would have been better off. Yeah,
I don't know. You know, when I see people like that,
I go, if I really wanted to, and the Moneys
backing me, I could absolutely be a senator or a governor.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
It is a country I vote for you just like.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
But you know what, what's the the verbal decorum when
you're when your foundation is is child sacrifice? What's the
point of like being nice from there on up? You know,
they don't, they don't. They don't purport to have any
sort of moral standards, you know, I mean Republicans do,
and there's many downfalls there, but at least they then
they have something to point at.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Im media, isn't the point?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
There'll be another nominee along these lines where there are
no lines. They're blurred between what is acceptable discourse and
what is in justifying the means by any means necessary.
If we feel we're right and we're morally superior, doesn't
matter our methods as long as we get to the
right destination. Now there's Governor Tim Walls here, and no,
(21:52):
this is not Jim Gaffigan impersonating him. This is how
he claims he got on the ticket as the vice presidential.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Nominee in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
But I also was on the ticket quite honestly, you know,
because I could code talk to white guys watching football
fixing their truck doing that that I could put them
at ease. I was the permission structure to say, look,
you can do this and vote for this. And you
look across those swing states, with the exception of Minnesota,
we didn't get enough of those votes.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Joseph Governor Tim Walls gave you permission to vote for
Kamala Harrison.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Whom did you do that? I didn't know. I'm voted
for Trump four times. You lost your permissions. Lift.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
You know, any real man knows that you don't you
either watch football or fix your truck. You don't do
them both at the same time, you know. I mean,
that guy is just a walking pride break.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
He's just get it out.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Even these terms. I saw this bandied about yesterday Christian
as well. I think it was Guttfeld making the point
that he would use code switching is inherently opposite to
the regular guys he's talking about fixing their Trump, watching football,
drinking beers.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
They don't use the term code switching. It's like you
created him in a lab. He said, Okay, we need
a cartoonish.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Absurdist example of someone who's trying to be the common
man and yet has nothing in common with the common man.
And then you just pop up him. He just appears magically.
It's almost like a weird Science a sequel of sorts.
I can't believe there was a little part of me
that wishes he was vice president because he would be
so aggressively entertaining on a daily basis. Thank god he's not,
(23:33):
but still he's still sticking around and God bless him,
keep on talking.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Well.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
The only outside I see to your scenario is that
we would see more Jim Gaffigan, who I'm fan of,
and he did a really good job there, and he
kind of softened a little bit toward Trump at that
Al Smith dinner. He was ripping on Kamala, he acknowledged
President Trump was there, and I think he's one of
those that once he actually met President Trump, like Bill
Maher's like, he's not so bad of a guy.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Here's one thing I think if Tim Waltz were in
the White House as the VP, I think Jim Gaffigan
would be told to go away. You have no longer
you are no longer allowed to make fun of him. Really,
That's what I don't think you're wrong necessarily.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah, takes us to our third nominee so far, Representative
ilhan Omar and Governor Tim Walls. A Minnesota connection for
those of you that are fans of the craft. Representative
Summer Lea breaks that trend here Democrat Pennsylvania and she
is going to gaslight regarding Tesla vandalism, Arson violence.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
What is violence? What is violence? This is what violence
is according to her.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Do you see a connection with all to the fiery
Runner we're hearing for lawmakers against Elon and dooze, to
all the violence against products and dealerships.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
Yeah, I think it's important that we recommend that violence
is something that you're committing as a human being.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
So I will have no opinion on the actions that
are going on.
Speaker 5 (24:47):
Actually haven't even been following that much, but let's be
a precise for a language.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Violence is against human beings. And do you think, Oh,
I think that pops.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
In the Administration's rudder has been incredible. I think I
think about the read up a lot around trans folks,
around immigrant populations, around black and brown.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
People, who we've seen so many people because of.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
The rhetoric from the administration, because of your rhetoric from
the right, we're seeing American citizens being picked up. We're
seeing a lot of profiling that's happening. And I think
that that's incredibly dangerous and again, those are being.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Perpetrated against people.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
So I think it's important that we be clear that
we recognize what these policies are actually doing, and also
that we recognize the difference between the frustration of people
that is maybe organic, but also the language just coming
from people who are in.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Power and not a comps in power. And he's abusing that
and it's going to harm people.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
And hasn't ready now, Joseph, Look, as long as it's organic,
burning down Tesla dealerships, it's perfectly fine. And she does
a classic technique here she redefines a term incorrectly.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Violence is only against people, not.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Against things, not against arson, not a big deal, and
then switches changes the subject over to Trump.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Did you do it effectively? Again?
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I'd just like to start with announcing my candidacy for
government Colorado, so you can you can reach out to
me at Joseph Grand dot com, triggering governor of Colorado.
Aren't these people who told us that silence was violence
and that words were violence and that I mean, you
know they're vegetarians too, that's violence starts plants.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Those are living things.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
I mean, I just listen in an honest world, and
an honest media that would They would never get away
with that.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
It's just gobblygooks.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
She must have had a training class from Kamala Harrison's
speech or something.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
That's a great point that Joseph makes Christian and that
they don't have their chops. They're not kind of in
the arena working these things out. You made that point
earlier about Representative Eilon Omar. They're not used to being
challenged at all, and so when they are, they don't
know what to do.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
They're the ninety eight pound weekling. They don't know how
to respond. They don't they haven't had grit, they haven't
had perseverance, they haven't had the ability to kind of
challenge themselves. They haven't had their ideas questioned. So you
get answers like that. And as you both said, everything
is violence except for violence. It's fascinating. So you could
fire Bamba building an establishment, a neighborhood, a police station,
(27:04):
which is what happened in Minneapolis. And by the way,
I always want to push The Fall of Minneapolis, which
is one of the most shocking documentaries you'll ever see,
might be free on YouTube.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Either way, no matter how you have need to see it.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
You need to see it because the story of the
cops describing how they try to save their police station,
and how the government there, the liberals in office, let
them get abandoned, didn't protect them, let the Ryers burn
that place down. It is heartbreaking. That's violence too. Yeah, sorry,
misgendering violence, terribly violent.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Down you call me the wrong pronoun. I am hurt. Yes,
by the way I pronouns minor it and that and
that and that.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
So no wonder you made a Sasquatch movie final nominee
Terry Moran not ready for primetime.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Player and not in the fun way.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Like Chevy Chase in the original Saturday Night Live cast,
he gets dog walked here by President Trump a legal
note fraud.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Of the crime. There have been no referrals to the
Justice Department that anyway, You don't know that?
Speaker 8 (28:03):
To you?
Speaker 3 (28:05):
How do you know that the referrals to Why we
do you know that that there were no referrals? I
think they were generally all right.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
There's been no investigation from the department.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
That I'm asking you, sir. You're not asking me. You
admde a statement, you know now I'm asking him. There
was a statement that you made there been asking him,
have there been?
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yes, So they have been referrals for fraud from the
worst step and take a look at some of these
things that took us millions of dollars.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
We give it to people for no reason whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Christian Reagan rees Daily Caller confirmed to me she had
a closed door session with Elon Musk that yes, there
are referrals being made. It is in the process of
going to DJ. Terry Moran really stepped it in here.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
He's just not good at his job. I mean, he's
just not good at his job. And you know, I
think with President Trump, if you treat him in a
sane way, if you ask real questions, if you engage
with him, I think he's good to go. But I
think when you do this kind of grand standing, which
is not journalism, which is just trying to make a
point in an incorrect point and at a point you're
not doing your homework, then he gets a little ants
(29:11):
and then he gets a little uh, he gets a
little cagy, And I think that Terry Moran deserved it.
It just this is just laughable. This is the state
of modern journalism, this is ABC News. You've got a
major chance to check in with the President United States
and ask questions that will tell people, the citizens of
the country, what's going on, what we need to know,
and then you can agree, agreed, you disagree, Joseph, what.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Do you make of that exchange you just heard? I
would also like to announce my candidacy too, would be the.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Head of ABC News.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
You know, you know where Terry Moran he he he.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
The only place that he's worthy is is busting pedophiles
delivering pizza to twelve year olds on a TV show.
That's where he belongs. And the other guy, Rich what's
the guy that he didn't want to do the interview
with David. That's what the robot news anchors are going to.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Look like in the future. Yeah, he was Lee. So
those are our nominees.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
As always a difficult choice for you, the listener five
seven seven, three nine, submit your vote, send them in.
We'll get the votes of the two men present here
on the other side of this time out Representative Ilhan Omar,
Governor Tim Walls, both Democrats of Minnesota. Representative Summer lead
Democrat Pennsylvania on Tesla and what is violence? And Terry
Moran ABC News just flailing through that interview with President
(30:23):

of results last night. I was watching them. I went
to Choppers with Christian Toto and the Avalanche. Which one
they salvage?
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Game six?
Speaker 1 (31:01):
They force a Game seven that'll be Saturday. The Nuggets
not as fortunate. They went on the road. They lost
to the Clippers. They're putting their future in the jackpot
in a game seven on Saturday as well. It's going
to be a bonanza. But it's all coming down to
one game, and that's tough in the sports world, and
you don't want it coming all down to one game
when it comes to your wealth building and retirement planning,
(31:22):
and in so doing you will learn that there is
a way to trust the process, as they say so
often in sports channels, and trade you well can provide
that process, guide you through it soup to nuts, a

with a retirement plan that is built specifically for you,
(31:42):
honing in on your level of tolerance, risks that you
are comfortable with your profile, your portfolio, putting it together
in a way that makes sense for you. And they
don't treat any two clients the same. Every person's backstory
is a little bit different and every person priority in
retirement is a little bit different. So call Trajan Wealth

you can find that in theaters or is it going
to be just.

Select theaters over the summer and then it will be
streaming everywhere? As they say in the fall. A lot
of people wait for that ten, including you. That's right.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Let's get some text five seven seven three nine double
votes for either of the Minnesota nominees.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
But you gotta pick one. You can't just check two votes.
What are you a Democrat? You can't do that. You
gotta vote for one person, one person, one vote.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Ryan here at the Gulf of America, I vote for
the incestuous little tramp illhan Omar. That's really mean. That
is very harsh. Notice I didn't say it was in accurate,
but it's really mean. We're trying to be nicer.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Shame, shame. I gotta get your two votes on the record. Christian,
who a you going with? I don't know I need,
I need like an hour more time.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
These are really hard choices, and every week the idiots
just pile up.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
They really do it just they nominate them a pick one.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
I'm gonna skip Ill hunt Omar because that's just a
single curse and it's really just her crudeness.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Slam dunk the woman dick saying that violence against things
that aren't people aren't violence. I think that she thinks
she's got to have my vote.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Representative Summer Lead one of our four nomine and he's
along with elin Omar, Tim Walls, and Terry Moran.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
But Tim is so strong, Joseph, your choice, it's easy
for me.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
I'm going with Terry Moran, she hear, because he is
the only clown amongst that group that is overpaid for
what he does. He's getting paid to be that right
a lot. He's probably been making three million dollars a
year at least he's been there forever. Yeah, she hear,
Terry Moran, she heer.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
You're in front of me. Five seven, seven, three nine.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Those are the votes of our two assembled co panelists here,
but your vote will count until the end of the
program again five seven to seventh, three nine. How about
this fun one from Alexa Ryan. You should have the
owner of the Sasquatch Outpost on Let's do a k
how outing searching for Sasquatch in Bailey. Joseph, what do
you say? You know, let me tell you I got
a surprise for you. Jim Meyer, the owner of the
(34:52):
Sasquatch Outpost, is in the film. I have a scene
with him in the movie that takes place inside of
his You see him up there in Bailey, And if

whole segment and Alexi will love it and hopefully listeners
will too.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
How about that? Yeah, that's great, let's do it. He'll
promote the big Foot calls Christian. Final thoughts. Oh gosh,
you know.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
It's such This is such a fun and slash infuriating hour,
you know, I mean, just hear what we hear on
a weekly basis is just shocking.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
And I think Joseph you may have just touched upon it.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
It's just the the dereliction of duty of the mainstream
media not to hold these people accountable. Listen, when President
Trump says the wrong thing, or does the wrong thing,
or puts his foot in his mouth, they're they're on
them constantly.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
And that's the way it should be. They should be
holding him accountable.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
The fact that it doesn't happen at all at a
time we're talking about maybe defunding NPR a little bit,
my gosh, it just it staggers the imagination we're gonna
he may, I hope look back at this period like
we look back at other sort of panic moral panics,
and think.

Of what went wrong? Why do we go here? That's
where we are today.
