Ryan breaks down the gaffes of Tim Walz and dominance of J.D. Vance in a one-sided debate 'moderated' by Norah O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan of CBS News.

A text about Governor Walz putting tampons in boys bathrooms throughout Minnesota prompts Ryan to analyze why there needs to be more focus on providing a sensible educational environment for the vast majority of young boys who have no use for tampons in their restrooms.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, the power, the power, embrace it, harness it
of the Detroit connection between Shannon and Scott and yours truly,
Ryan Schuling live with you and in real time, just
a couple of fellows that admired the d kind of
the old English d. Thanks for clarifying that, Shannon, as
you are wont to do. But the Tigers are immersed

(00:21):
right now in the wild Card series that nobody saw coming.
This is a Detroit team that has largely struggled over
the last ten years, much like our Colorado Rockies have here.
And those are my two teams, one of the American League,
one of the National And I got to tell you
this ride that we've been on as Tigers fans in Detroit.
It was just back home and went to a game

(00:42):
with my niece Sonya in which they clinched their first
playoff berth in ten years since twenty fourteen.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
She was seven, she's now seventeen.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
And right now Andy Ibanya has just cleared the bases
with a two out, three run double and it puts
them on top the Tigers five to.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Two, heading to the bottom of the eighth.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
They won yesterday and if they win today, they eliminate
the Houston Asterisks as I call.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Them, because they cheated.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
And I know aj Hinch is the manager of the
Tigers now and he was somehow on the periphery of that,
but jose L Tuve, Alex Bregman, these guys are dirty,
no good cheaters. There's several others as well, and their
World Series title back in what was that twenty seventeen
totally tainted and hopefully the Tigers.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Can take them out.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
And I'm looking forward to potentially if they're able to
win to day, and they'll want to put the cart
before the horse. But if they do win against the
three seeded Astros, up next, and I think as the
brackets will go would be the two seed Cleveland Guardians,
and then ultimately what might happen if the paths do
cross at some point, it'll be yours truly against Christian Toto,

(01:57):
lifelong New York Yankees fan, potential in the American League
Championship Series. I know, I get ahead of myself. I'm
a little excited. I just had to share that because
this is awesome and I finally got something to cheer about,
other than, as fate would have it, the Lions, which
they were rolling on Monday night.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Shannon, did you watch any of that game? You did?

Speaker 3 (02:18):
You good good?

Speaker 1 (02:19):
I was highly entertaining a lot of fun, interesting uniforms,
trick plays. I'm on Ross Saint Brown throwing a touchdown
pass to Jared Goff. Things are going, They're going quite
all right in the d for my Detroit teams, those two.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Anyway, we'll see on the others.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
I got our response and you could follow me on
x and that was formerly known as Twitter at my
very name at Ryan Schuling. It's just that simple. The
last name. It's dodgy. There's too many vowels. It's a
lot easier to say that it is to spell it's Dutch.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
It's weird. S C h U, I, L I N G.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
And Momo messages me directly on there saying Ryan, I
have the same issue with my mom.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Hashtag Jubilee TV.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Now that goes back to my conversation at the bottom
of the last hour, hour number one. If you missed it,
you can catch it on the podcast with Lily Fiori.
And really it was practical for me. I was dealing
with this over the weekend, my baby sister and I
with my dad and he's seventy seven. He's a great guy,
and he used to be not that long ago, quite mobile.
He would walk three hours, three miles a day. It

(03:30):
would take him about an hour. He was doing good time,
you know, twenty minute miles, three miles an hour, and
then neuropathy hit him. And they don't really know exactly
what causes that. There could be genetic components to it,
a heavy drinking, which as many of you know, my
dad is a recovering alcoholic.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
That doesn't help.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
So there might be that added complicating factor that down
the line could cause harm. And then he got an
opinion from another physician that said, no, that might not.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Have anything to do with it.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
But his brother, his younger brother, they're my uncle Dave,
also suffering from some neuropathy type things, and he's in
the aftermath of a stroke himself, and they're just getting
to a certain age, right in their seventies, where things
start going kind of off kilter. And I reached out
to Lily. I thought she had some great information and

(04:19):
highly recommend you check that interview out if you haven't
heard it already, or even just to get those details
once again, because I know they're hard to pick up
on in real time. We're just hearing it like websites
and numbers and all these sort of things. So in
those text along five seven, seven, three nine, this one
says from Alexa, candidate.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
For Fool of the Week.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yes, we are taking nominations always throughout the week and
then Kelly and I will sort through those on Fridays.
Timmy Walls for identifying himself as a knucklehead even though
he is seeking the job of US vice president, and
for saying he's friends with school shooters Alexa, as fate
would have it, I just so happened to have each
of those in bull point form isolated unto themselves. They're

(05:03):
kind of funny. And again picture Chris Farley saying this.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
And I'm a knucklehead at times.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
I mean, you just dropped that in out of context.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
It has many applications, and I'm a knucklehead at times.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Oh, Tim Walls, that was something last night.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
This was even more peculiar, though, And I'll play you
the full thing, because you know, you take some things
out of context. We don't want to be like the left,
but this didn't make sense even in context. I don't
even know what he was trying to say, but he
did say this, So.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
I become friends with school shooters? What?

Speaker 1 (05:38):
And when I was watching that with the log Cabin, Republicans,
all of us we heard this.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
I become friends with school shooters.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
You have why? Why would that even be a thing?

Speaker 1 (05:51):
And the memes are glorious on social media, has no doubt.
I think Shannon's already found those. But here is Tim Walls.
The entire question about school shootings. Now, this should have
been in his wheelhouse as governor. He has overseen very
strict gun purchasing laws when it comes to red flag background.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Checks, etc.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
He said at one point too, and I don't have
this sound isolated. Sometimes it's just the guns. No, I
can verify for a fact that's not true. I have
a gun, it's a three point fifty seven magnum. If
I don't access my gun, load my gun, fire my gun,
I can guarantee you it will not in and of

(06:36):
itself fire and kill somebody. Sometimes it's just the guns,
and know does that it's the human operating the gun.
Every time it's the human. We have a mental health
crisis in America, We certainly do. There is a lacking
I think in terms of gun responsibility among owners and

(06:58):
many of us that are response constable, that purchase our
weapons legally, that.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Own them legally.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
When you inflict these sorts of violations of the Second
Amendment a constitutional right on people who are otherwise law
abiding citizens, those often are the only people impacted by
such laws, because guess what, a criminal who's determined to
get a gun and commit a crime with a gun,
they are willing to commit a crime to obtain the gun.

(07:29):
They're not going to go through legal channels. It doesn't
matter how many laws or obstacles you put up.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
In their way.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
And what you create is an imbalance between the opportunity
and availability for a law abiding citizen to obtain weaponry,
which they have a Second Amendment right to do, and
they have not had that revoke by any kind of
conviction or mental health evaluation, and you are making the
playing field tilted in favor of the criminals. That is why,

(07:57):
in large part, gun control laws don't work, because they
only control the gun purchases by people who otherwise obey
the laws. Criminals will commit crimes. It's not that complicated.
But here's Tim Walls on why he changed his position
on an assault weapons ban, which I guess at some

(08:18):
point this was one stance that he had that wasn't
far left, and now it has become that.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
Governor, you previously opposed an assault weapons ban, but it's
only later in your political career did you change your position.

Speaker 5 (08:29):
Why.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
Yeah, I set in that office with those Sandog parents.
I've become friends with school shooters.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
I've seen it. Look the NRA, I was an n
OURA guy for a long time. They used to teach
gun safety.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
I'm of an age where my shotgun was in my
car so I could peasant hunt after football practice.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
That's not where we live today.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
And several things I want to mention on this is
talking about cities and where it's at. The Number one
where the most firearm deaths happened in Minnesota are rural suicides.
And we have an epidemic of children getting guns and
shooting them. So and so we have and we should
look at all of the issues.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Okay, it still doesn't make sense in the context that
you just heard this line.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
I'd become friends with school shooters.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Shannon, what did he mean by that? Do you have
any clue like victims of school shooters? He's become friends
with victims of school shooters. I'm trying to afford him
some grace and really understand what he's trying to say.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Did you watch that in real time? Did you observe?
Oh you didn't.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Okay, but you just heard it, and you don't have
any better explanation than I do for that, right, I'd
say he misspoke again, But that is there a horrible
track record of misspeaking. Well, sometimes it's misspeaking, and if
it's a pattern like you just alluded to, Shannon, it's
a lie. It's a compulsive, pathological pattern of lying. So

(09:50):
let's go to really the only issue in the debate
where either Margaret Brennan or Nora O'Donnell pressed him, and
I would say they were comparably bad to the ABC
moderators Lindsay Davis and David Muir. And this is how
that went about his reconciling an answer a take that.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
He had to hate.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
I was in Tianamen Square in nineteen eighty nine when
that was all going down. You know that guy that
stood in front of the tank, I was right there.
He was not right there, So how does he explain it?

Speaker 4 (10:19):
I joined the National Guard at seventeen, worked on family
farms and then I use the GI Bill to become
a teacher, passion about it a young teacher. My first
year out, I got the opportunity in the summer of
eighty nine to travel to China, Okay thirty five years ago.
Be able to do that. I came back home and
then started a program to take young people there. We

(10:40):
would take basketball teams, we'd take baseball teams, we would
take dancers, and we would go back and forth to China.
The issue for that was was to try and learn. Now, look,
my community knows who I am. They saw where I
was at. They look. I will be the first to
tell you I have poured my heart into my community.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
I've tried to do the.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
Best I can, but I've not been perfect, and I'm
a knucklehead at times, but it's always been about that
those same people elected me to Congress.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
I'm a knucklehead at times, but it's always been about that,
been about what being a knucklehead. He's not making sense,
And even Margaret Brennan's like, dude, that's that you didn't
answer the question, Governor.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
Just to follow up on that, the question was, can
you explain the Nancy. All I said on this was
is I got there that summer and misspoke on this,
So I will just that's what I've said.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
So I was.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
In Hong Kong and China during the democracy protests went
in and from.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
That I learned a lot of what needed to be
in governance.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
I mean, this guy, you can't sit there and tell
me that of all the available options, Kamala Harris had
at her disposal that this was the most qualified person
to be her running mate, that somehow Tim Walls brought
more to the table than a fellow govern Josh Shapiro
from Pennsylvania, a swing state, A bright guy. I think

(12:05):
he's disingenuous in many ways. He's pretending to be a
moderate he's not. But even so, I've seen Shapiro speak.
He is very good. He's very sharp, and he's very smart,
and I think he would have put up a formidable
effort in battle last night against Jade Vance.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
This was a mismatch. I know I'm biased, but.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
I went into this with expectations set that, Hey, I
think jd Vance is going to dominate this debate, and
I don't think Tim Wallas is ready for prime time.
I was proven right, but I think even more right.
I was even more impressed with jd. Vance than I
thought I would be, and I thought Walls at times
he had moments I want to, you know, afford some

(12:45):
level of you know, that sort of fairness to him,
especially issues that appear to be in his wheelhouse. There
was a lot of red meat provided to him, easy,
kind of low hanging fruit by Brennan Bioda, all topics
that were going to be comfortable for him outside of
what we just heard about Tieneman Square. But I think

(13:05):
they did that my analysis, knowing that that's.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Not a big issue that people care about.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Tim Wall's lying was he was he in Tienneman's Square
in nineteen eighty nine. A lot of people voting are
not even they weren't even alive in nineteen eighty nine,
that's thirty five years ago. I don't care he lies whatever.
It doesn't affect my life. His policy positions do. And
they were not willing to call him out for very

(13:32):
far left stances that he's taken on the abortion issue,
when it comes to defunding the police, when it comes
to free speech. This was the one that really got
stuck in my craw watching this last night, it was
he is a debacle. He doesn't know what he's talking about.
And I'll give you an example why on the other
side of this. But I want you to hear it.

(13:54):
And in case you heard it before, it's a chance
to review it.

Speaker 5 (13:56):
You yourself have said there's no First Amendment right to
miss information. Kamala Harris wants to threaten to government and
big tech to silence people from speaking their minds.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Now, wait a minute, I want you to hear that again,
what Tim Walls just said and trying to fire back
at Jade.

Speaker 5 (14:14):
Vance you Kamala Harris wants to threaten, threatening or hate speech.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Now, hate speech is a red herring. It is a
fake term.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Designed to be a catch all, including any speech that
the Left doesn't like and they can label as hate speech.
It's too broad, it's not narrow enough to infringe upon
First Amendment rights. But Tim Walls, if he had his way,
that's how it would be.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Hate speech, by.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
And large, by definition, is protected by the First Amendment.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
The ACLU used to defend.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
They don't know anymore, but they used to the Ku
Klux Klan gathering, expressing themselves as hateful as their speech
is as deplorable and detestable as it is. The theory
being and into the right one, and it's the one that
I adhere to. Much better to have someone like that
be brought onto the sunlight and exposed to for who
they are, sunlight being the best disinfectant, then to have

(15:18):
them go unto the shadows. I want Ilhan Omar Rashida
to leave Ayana Presley, aoc Corey Bush. I want all
these people out front and center. Tell us what you think.
I'm going to say, you represent the heart and soul
of the Democratic Party, and it's going to be up
to them to say no, we disavow them, and if

(15:39):
they don't, then we can affix them the far left,
this radical squad to the mainstream.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Of the Democratic Party.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
It serves our purpose to have that speech amplified, not silenced.
So what does the left fear from so called hate
speech or disinformation from our side because of the very
fact that it's not hateful and it's not disinformation. Remember
when Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation, except it wasn't.

Speaker 5 (16:11):
Continuing and big tech to silence people from speaking their minds,
that is the threat to democracy, That will long outlive
this present political moment. I would like Democrats and Republicans
to both reject censorship. Let's persuade one another, Let's argue
about ideas, and then let's come together afterwards.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
You can't, you know, fire in a crowded theater.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Yes, you can.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
That's the tast that's the Supreme Court cast fire in
a crowded theater.

Speaker 5 (16:34):
You guys wanted to kick people off of Facebook for
saying that Toddler shouldn't fire, and a crowded got to
say that is criticizing the policies of the government, which
is the right of every America.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
You heard one of the moderators step in because she
knew that Walls was flailing and he needed help. But
beyond that, this is Jade Vance nearly pitched a perfect
game last night. I'm nitpicking here, but this is where
Vance knows the law.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
JD. Vance is skilled enough.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
He is smart enough to know what I posted here,
Fire in a crowded theater. That was a phrase from
a Supreme Court decision one hundred and five years ago
from Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes in the case Shank versus
the United States. It was controversial even then in nineteen nineteen.
It was then overturned in Brandenburg versus Ohio in nineteen

(17:27):
sixty nine, fifty years later and fifty five years ago.
To continue to cite fire in a crowded theater is idiotic.
It shows a complete lack of understanding or knowledge of
the law or case precedent. I'm not even a lawyer.
I didn't even go to law school. I took two
law classes intro to criminal justice and intro to criminal

(17:48):
law with a great teacher. He was a judge, Judge Fleming. Mean,
he rest in peace at Jackson Community College. That's it.
But even I knew this. And as far as fire
in a crowded theater, let's break that down. What if
there is a fire in a crowded theater, then absolutely
you can go in there and yell fire in a

(18:08):
crowded theater. But even that argument to not hold water
beyond the fifty years that that original decision was in
place Shank versus the United States, and it was summarily
overturned and done away with in Brandenburg v. Ohio fifty
five years ago in nineteen sixty nine. So it shows
another sophomoric intellect like Kamala Harris herself. Tim Walls not

(18:33):
a very bright guy, and if you think that's endearing,
that's on you. I don't want a dumb football coach
in the White House. I want somebody who has an
understanding of the law and what we need to get
done to bring this country back to greatness. Jd Vance
did that last night. Bye Bye Asterisks.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Hello Cleveland.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yes, Ryan Schuling, live back with you. Six point thirty
k how just special serendipity meant to be fate? Perhaps
Shannon Scott's on the board for me today, the Detroit connection.
We're both hometowners from the Motor City and the Motor
City Kitties are moving on to face the Cleveland Guardians.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
I can't. I'm old. I'm fifty. I grew up. They
were the Indians.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
It was fine, Chief Wahoo, the Tribe, the drum whatever.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
We're playing them.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
It's Detroit, Cleveland and the alds Now. It'll be a
best of five starting up this weekend, I believe on Saturday.
So I am overjoyed by this. Please bear with me.
Christian Toto's Yankees await the winner of the Orioles and Royals,
and the last I saw the Royals were up one

(19:52):
game to none in that series, and it could line
up for a shooling versus Toto Alcs. If the Tigers
are able to get by the Guardians and the Yankees
advanced as they are predicted to do. That is one
heck of a team. The Bronx Bombers five seven, seven
thirty nine. Your text you can send those along if

(20:13):
you want to talk Tigers. I'm here, I'm willing, I'm excited.
Start those texts. Ryan, let's go on. Last night's debate,
says this texter. I was truly disappointed that there were
no questions or answers about that very important topic that's
key to women's rights. What if they find themselves in
a boy's bathroom with no access to tampons.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
I think that's actually a great point.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
There was no effort or desire or impetus or motivation
for Nora O'Donnell or Margaret Brennan to confront Tim Walls
on an issue that actually mattered. They serve up chum
in the water as just like as a play cating
measure to go hey right and conservatives. We pressed him

(21:03):
on the ten men square thing, which doesn't matter, but
something like this. It's been misrepresented in the media. Well,
don't we want little girls to have tampons in middle school? Yeah,
that wasn't the point. That wasn't the objection. That wasn't
the issue. It's that he mandated that they be in
boys' bathrooms. And I'm sorry, I go with the vast

(21:26):
majority here. It's a percentage thing. I want to be
sensitive too and accommodating for transgender individuals and including trans
youth who might be going through some things and having
a genuine struggle with their gender identity.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
It does happen. Gender dysphoria is a thing now.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
I am completely against chopping off body parts or putting
little kids on hormones to try to undo biology, and
that leads we don't even know what it leads to totally.
But I encourage you to watch Matt Walsh's What Is
a Woman? Because there is the heartbreaking story of a

(22:08):
trans identifying male who what happened.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
It's a very.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Channel I'll get this reference. Remember the medieval barber sketch
with Steve Martin back. I'm talking old SNL days where
he was both a surgeon and a barber, and he
wasn't really qualified, but he was doing like medieval surgical
procedures on these patients that would come in. And if
you watch what actually happens in developing a prosthetic, it

(22:38):
allegedly is a real penis, but I think it's perfunctory.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
In other words, I don't want to get two. I'll
get a little detailed.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
They grow it on either the forearm or the inner thigh,
and they construct it and attach it to me. I
don't know enough about this because I have a real one,
But in terms of functioning as a sex organ properly
and in the way it's supposed to, as as God

(23:07):
did for those of us who were given the Y
chromosome and do have that part, I don't know that.
It's that it looks like, you know, you get a
bulge in your pants, you.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Look like a guy you have that. I imagine you
can go to the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
But I don't know enough, And maybe somebody can educate
me out there who does know more than I do.
But it just seemed to me when I looked at
this procedure, like there's no way that with all the
nerves and things that go into making that work down there,
it's really a miracle and God did it, so you
had that and then the other part of it. You know,

(23:42):
you can't go into the innards right and really construct
again as God would have it, ovaries and a uterus
and the female, all the parts, I mean all the parts,
not just the entry part. I'm just trying to talk
real here because I think people don't talk about it,

(24:04):
so they're like, well, no, no, no, no, we have to
establish some agreed upon ground rules and facts here about
what's going on with this, and that if adults choose
to have this done procedurally, whatever hormones have at it,
be an adult, do your own thing, live your life.
I am very much in fair I think I'm a
moderate on this issue. I'm very much in favor of

(24:24):
third spaces for transgender individuals to have privacy, to have
comfort and safety in their own changing room and to
have that access.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
I'm not in.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Favor of having biological males, especially those that are intact,
like William Thomas was. We've heard about those horror stories
from Riley Gaines from you know, you're swinging and you're
going into a female restroom or changing room. I don't
think that's fair to the biological women than girls that

(24:56):
are in there. And I don't think you should have
to accommodate for what is zero point five percent of
the population in order to infringe upon the other ninety
nine point five percent. I'll make a special accommodation in
a third and separate space for a transgender individual. I
want to take that seriously, but I think there's got

(25:17):
to be room for some form of compromise here. In
my other point about the tampons and the boys' bathrooms,
Shannon and I are at a certain age.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
If I was ten, you know, I'd just gone through
some sex ad stuff in fifth grade.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
It was confusing, and it's a very confusing time as
it is for somebody that is a born male is male. No,
I'm deal that that part does that. Oh wow, that's okay,
that's weird, that's wild. I don't want to do that.
You know, you're ten, so to further confuse the matter
for biological boys. But they look at the what are

(25:56):
tampons doing in here? Like I don't even know because
a portion of the sex said that I went through.
They separated the boys and the girls, so the girls
went you learned about girl stuff and the boys.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
We learned about boys stuff.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
So, Shannon, I don't know how it was for you,
but I didn't really know what tampons did, and not
at that age at least, right, No, And so you're
already bombarding these kids with this brand new information.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
That's it's embarrassing.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
It's you know, guys are making jokes and stuff, and
you're trying to handle it as a ten year old.
And maybe that's the difference here for me. I distinctly
remember what it was like to be ten. Heck, in
some ways I still act like I'm ten. But you
don't need any more logs thrown onto the fire to
confuse the matter further. And now a boy who's just

(26:44):
trying to be a boy, a ten year old boy.
Now you got to why are there tampons in the
restrooms here?

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Do I do? I use that?

Speaker 5 (26:52):
No?

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Well, then why are they? You know?

Speaker 1 (26:55):
I just don't see the upside that I say, much
more downside to that than any potential side.

Speaker 6 (27:01):
Well, there is one upside.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
What's the upside? Kelly?

Speaker 6 (27:05):
Tampons are good at stopping bloody noses?

Speaker 1 (27:10):
When when Trevor was ten, do you think he knew
what a tampon did?

Speaker 7 (27:17):
Not? Exactly, but Shannon and I were just talking. He
doesn't remember, but you know, our kids literally went through
the whole condom putting on the banana.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
That's a classic. That's a classic.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
It's like for the Greatest Hits album.

Speaker 7 (27:37):
So when they came home that day, Haley was absolutely horrified.
She don't talk about it, and you know, it's kind
of like, okay, but there was a time when Trevor
was playing football and he got hit pretty hard and
all I had was tampon.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
How old was he?

Speaker 6 (27:56):
Oh, he was a sophomore.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
In high school, about fifteen.

Speaker 6 (28:01):
Yeah, yeah, but he was horrified.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
He was like mom, girls, But but it worked practical matter.
You're right as far as embarrassment for him, tenth grade, God,
that'd be even worse. You know.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Look like tempon was, he.

Speaker 7 (28:22):
Was off to the sideline, so it wasn't like it,
but he was still like stified.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Did you confer with Adam on this? I think Adam
would come down where I am like, come on.

Speaker 7 (28:33):
So actually Adam was in support of it because we
wanted him to still play. So we kind of just
was like, all right, we I think we if I
remember correctly, and.

Speaker 6 (28:43):
This is horrible right, it's not horrible. Rip the top off.

Speaker 7 (28:47):
So it was just like a cotton thing, shoved it
up his nose and said, go finish the game.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
All right, Well, you know, got the job done. Desperate times,
desperate measures. Here's a couple here, Ryan, is this going
to segue into a Rocky Mountain men's clinic?

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Ad?

Speaker 1 (29:03):
I don't have that endorsement yet, but if I did,
i'd be a maybe. I just again, I'm just trying
to agree upon certain very generic ground rules as to
what's going on and what we're really dealing with here,
and what works and what doesn't, and what's real and
what's maybe a facsimile thereof That's the word I'm looking for, Ryan.

(29:27):
I had five sisters, so I learned about this stuff
not in school.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Oh God, love you.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
If you're a dude and you had five sisters, did
you have any brothers? Texter, please tell me if you
were imagine that.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Oh my god. If I was a boy and.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
I have five sisters and there were six siblings and
I was the only boy, God helped me. I always
kind of and I was careful about that. I was
an oldest, so I was the oldest brother. Then there
was my brother, then were my two sisters. I watched
movies like Ferris Bueller, and I had to learn because
I was like Marty McFly and my dad was like
George McFly. He had no idea how to talk to girls,

(30:04):
how to ask a girl out.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
I never learned that from him, because I don't think
he ever did it.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
I think my mom picked him up at a party
at Michigan State. That's how that went. She came down
the stairs the bottle of wine in her hand, drunk
off her ass, and kissed him because he had crystal
blue eyes. This is the story I was told by her.
And he was talking about like Star Trek with his
nerd buddies. So I didn't get any education from him
on any of this. And I always thought, you know,

(30:28):
if I had an older sister, now kind of show
me the ropes and tell me what I should do
and how to talk to girls. Maybe you know, have
a crush on one of her friends. But then I
remembered my best buddy, Eric Halmley. He had an older
sister and she was our enemy. Marda ooh. She was
like four years older, and she thought she knew everything,
and she bossed us around and tell on us kind

(30:51):
of like Ferris Bueller's older sister. But they ended up
reconciling in the movie, as I recall those two characters.

Speaker 6 (30:57):
They did. But wasn't she young?

Speaker 2 (31:00):
No?

Speaker 1 (31:01):
No, I believe she was older. Okay, yeah, because Ferris
save Ferris. Well, you never had a little brother. You
don't know what I'm talking about. I think you would
have loved having a little brother. He would have been
a good big sister because you did the guy things
and sporty and all that sort of thing.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Right.

Speaker 6 (31:16):
Well, you know that I was supposed to be a boy.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Carl was going to be your name, right, yes, And
anybody wants to text Carl, please do so we got
to go to break now seven seventh three nine. If
Kelly had been a boy, I swear to God that
was gonna be your name. She's gonna be named after
her uncle. She told me that story. We'll round out
the show after this with your text five seven seven
three nine, Ryan Shuling Live on six thirty kh two

(31:40):
minute warning close things out here on Ryan Shuling Live
with your text at five seven seven three nine. Donna says,
please tell Kelly how glad she is that you were
not Carl. Her giggle lights up her shows, and did
you hear that Gabe Evans is ahead? Makes by five
hundred postcards worthwhile, Donna, thanks for doing the work. We

(32:01):
need a ground game to win that race, and many others,
including President Trump in the Swing States chasing down every
vote we can get.

Speaker 6 (32:10):
Thank you, Donna. But I was also raised like a boy.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Carl Root, that's your name, that would have been.

Speaker 6 (32:16):
Your name, would have been my name.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
You should get Gabe Evans on your show again, says
Don Dona. I'll do that.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Gabe comes down whenever I ask him, and he's usually
only a text away. Mountain Grandma says, critical care are
in here. Well, thank you, Yes, here's an informed voice
cared for one of the first nineteen seventies era surgically
altered transgender male to female individual removed penis, created vagina,

(32:40):
he slash, she was forever in pain, became a TNS
unit what's TNS narcotic addicted frequent flyer whose pain could
never be controlled. You know, even when a moderny we're
talking fifty years later, there are a lot of complications
along those lines that I've heard about in terms of
how they create the new organ, the coment, the side effects.

(33:04):
Shall we leave it at that? But they're not pleasant.
They are not pleasant there, I've seen it on Reddit.
I don't I'm not really big Reddit person like Kelly is.
Kelly says to me like Reddit links every day, like
he's Reddit.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Am I the a hole? Like, yes you are, if
you have to ask.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
But on one of those there was somebody talking about
how there was an unpleasant aroma or smell because the
new organ was created from I think portion of the
person's colon.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
I'll leave it at that.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
The earlier texter must be a Catholic family or wow,
Mormon something. Yes, three brothers so three brothers one he's
a dude, and five sisters. So there's nine siblings. You
got your own baseball team there. That's great, that's fantastic.
Tried to warn I'm looking out for Trevor. Nobody else
was how long was he called blank face about Kelly's

(33:55):
son who had to use a tampon to stop bleeding
in his nose.

Speaker 6 (33:57):
Stop it?

Speaker 1 (33:58):
And then finally this one, tampons are good for bleeding.
Gunshot wound, gunshot wounds. Wow, my friend in high school
accidentally shot himself on the shoulder.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
Lance.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Wow, that's a pretty intense way to close out the program,
but we'll have much more for you straight ahead on
a Thursday edition.

so stay tuned for that. Brian shuling live on six
