Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm going to first of all, turn these speakers down.
What do you hear it feeding back? I'm not gonna
lie to you. I've already recorded today's shift, so the
show before the show that we do here is actually
in reverse. I've already recorded everything that's going on the
(00:23):
air later. And that's for good reason, and one very
very specific reason, and that reason being there is something
that I wanted to say that I think had I
said on here and figured out the best way to
say it first, I couldn't have stopped myself from saying
it on the air, And I shouldn't say it on
(00:44):
the air because it's not only a personal attack short
of me using this person's first and last name. It's
very specific, but it also touches on a couple of
topics that maybe aren't the best to bring to casual
afternoon radio on a Monday afternoon, things like religion, politics,
(01:12):
you know, the old touchstones. So I went ahead and
recorded the show first so that I wouldn't be tempted
to well, now that I've fleshed it out, I could
just probably do it like put it on there. So
here's what's coming up today. I'm going to do that
I'm gonna say the things I wanted to say, because
(01:35):
if I can't do it here, where am I supposed
to do it? And this needs to be set. We're
also going to talk about pickles, just throwing it out there.
The hottest food of twenty twenty four, it's pickles, man,
and now the two grossest foods in the world have
come together to create what I believe is the biggest
abomination in the history of food, perhaps this year plus.
(02:02):
Speaking of food, we're going to rally against the Ohio
Supreme Court, who has really, as a lover of chicken
wings personally and maybe you two has really sparked the
fear in me when it comes to my chicken wing
(02:22):
eating and the most hated social media site. I'm not
going to do that one because it's an easy one.
You know what it is, right, it's not just in
America either, worldwide. The entire world hates Facebook redd it's
number two. So there you go. We already did our
first break. We may, if there's time, get to the
(02:43):
best places to go on vacations a Time magazine list
and they were selling in there. It's like a spa
in New Mexico, like stuff like that. So it's you know,
maybe you've never heard of it before. Maybe cool, like
if you're into travel stuff, or you just like, for me,
really want to make yourself regret the summer trip you
took to Nebraska this year instead of you know, Denali
(03:04):
in Alaska or MAUI not that I would have gone
to either one of those places, because that sounds like
a headache very far away. We make it to that.
But first, as somebody who loves chicken wings, I'm gonna
start here. This story concerns me a little bit because
a man who ended up getting a bone stuck in
(03:24):
his throat eating a chicken wing has lost his case
in court. Now you may think, well, why would he
even go to court to begin with? There are bones
in chicken wings, And I completely understand your confusion, because
you're right, the traditional chicken wing consists of one or
(03:44):
two bones. If there's any more than that, I'm not
sure what you're eating. And there is the risk of
getting one lodged in your throat. Now that's your fault.
I think any chicken wing eater in the country would say, yeah,
I mean, clearly, you get a bone stuck in your throat,
that's your fault. You can't sue anybody because you're an idiot.
This guy sued because he found and choked on a
(04:07):
bone in his boneless chicken wing back in twenty sixteen.
Wings on Brookwood. It's a local establishment in somewhere, Ohio.
He ate a boneless chicken wing, got the bone lodged
in his throat, had to have multiple surgeries because it
tore tour tour parts of his throat. In fact, he
(04:32):
had to be put in not one but two medically
induced comas. And after he said, well this, come on,
these are boneless chicken wings. I choked on a bone.
I got to get some money out of this, at
least to pay for the medical bills. That thing made
it all the way to the Ohio Supreme Court, where
the court issued a ruling last week saying that bones
(04:53):
are quote a natural part of the chicken, so people
should expect bones in them, and that a can consumer
cannot sue over the issue. Now I understand this ruling
to a point. Right anatomically, biologically, the cord is right
(05:14):
on the money. Chickens have bones in them, for that matter,
so do most birds all birds? Right? Is there a
boneless bird is the penguins. They have bones, right, they
don't just have cartilage or anything. Yeah, every bird has
bones in it. That's not a point of contention. That is, however,
(05:35):
their ruling when it comes to consuming a product, and
specifically a product made to be consumed, not nibbling, right,
Chicken wings are a one to two bite and then
you're done situation. And if you order boneless wings and look,
they're chicken nuggets. I'm not a boneless wing fan personally.
(05:59):
I think they're dumb. I think there chicken nuggets with
sauce on them, and I don't think I'm alone in
that opinion. But if you order a boneless wing, shouldn't
you at least be able to consume that wing with
the understanding when you said boneless, what is the one
thing and the entire planet, what is the one thing
(06:21):
that name would indicate is not in that piece of
chicken before you? There's a better chance if we are
just discounting language, fine, all right, if words don't mean
anything anymore, okay, just say that then, But if we
(06:43):
are taking this just at what it says, there's a
better chance that there is a piece of the moon
in that chicken wing than a bone, because the only thing,
the only descriptive word being used in the discription of
that food item is that there aren't any bones in it.
(07:04):
So wouldn't you agree there's a better chance, just language based,
if there's a piece of outer space in that than
a bone itself. The court says no, and I complete,
like if we're just talking biologically, of course not. Of course,
there is a chance that a bone is going to
be in there, but the chance is zero according to
(07:28):
the title. And if you find one and it messes
you up, you're telling me you don't have a right
to be compensated for that. This isn't an outlandish lawsuit,
you know what I mean? Guy ordered. I mean, let's
take it down to brass tacks. Guy ordered a boneless
wing choked on a bone that was in it. Somehow
it tore his throat up, and now the place who
(07:50):
gave it to him doesn't have to pay. It's his
fault because he reasonably should have assumed in his boneless wings.
Moving on, if you're gonna go on vacation, we'll do
this one now. Shouldn't it be to the best place.
Time magazine has listed the one hundred best places, World's
(08:10):
greatest place is to visit, And I'm going to read
them all to you in excruciating detail right now, all
one hundred, starting with number one. No, I'm not going
to do that, but there were several in the US.
Maui Denali mentioned those two. There's some resort in New Mexico.
It's a pretty cool list if you like travel stuff.
I'll just say this. It's a Time magazine. You can
(08:31):
google it. I didn't bother posting the link because I
don't care that much. The hottest food of twenty twenty
four is pickles, for whatever reason, not just the pickle itself,
but the flavorings pickles. In fact, I literally have pickles
flavored cotton candy upstairs on my kitchen island. Despite nobody
in our house really liking pickles all that much. Who's
(08:52):
left here by friends who apparently hate us. And in
that spirit this story, Kraft Hines, you've heard of them.
They've got a place here in town. They're getting in
on the pickle craze. In fact, they have combined pickles
with maybe my least favorite food of all time to
create pickle mayonnaise dressing. That means whatever you'd put mayonnaise
(09:19):
on can now come with pickles in it. It's only
available at Walmart for a limited time. And if you
are like the opposite of me, and you hear pickles
and mayonnaise together and you're like, shwing, put that in
my mouth, get to it because it won't be there
for very long. They consolidated the two. Like if I'm
(09:42):
eating let's say a boneless wing. No, let's say I'm
at a place that serves boneless wings. But I get
a burger and there's mayonnaise on that burger, it makes
me want to throw up. And the second worst one
is even if they bring a pickle, like you know
how some places put a pickle in the basket with
your fries. Any fries that touch the pickle just infects
(10:04):
everything around us. So if it touches anything, I can't
eat that thing because I just taste it and I go,
what is? Why do people? How? You could make the
most delicious meal ever and put one drop of pickle
in it and all I'd be able to taste is
pickle because it's that powerful. But it's twenty twenty four's
(10:25):
hottest food, and now it comes in disgusting white, spreadable form,
enjoy yourselves. The last thing I want to bring up
is this, and it's the reason I tracked the show early,
and I mentioned this before, so I won't rehash it.
I've watched for months, and especially since the decision by
(10:49):
President Biden to pull out of running for a second
term in office, and then the presumptive nominee, Kamala Harris,
his vice president, step into the spotlight. I've watched the
rhetoric that was already awful terrible on on sites like
(11:10):
Facebook and Twitter, but especially Facebook, and especially by people
here in this town. This isn't strangers we're talking about.
These are neighbors, friends of people that I would consider
friends to strangers who just know me because of the radio.
And I've watched what's been said before the Biden stuff, uh,
(11:33):
during the Biden stuff, after the Biden stuff, and it's
not the Let me just preface this. If there are
those of you who are saying things based in one
hundred percent fact and are trying to make an intelligent point, fine,
(11:55):
I have not seen a single one of you. In fact,
what I have seen are people just easily identifiable lies
in picture form that they've just decided, you know what, whatevs,
And they're putting up there because for whatever reason they
feel the need to. I have to share how I'm
(12:19):
going to vote this November, you guys, everyone has to know,
and probably probably by me sharing this picture with a
bunch of lies and stuff in it. That's just not
even mean spirited in the sense of it's me versus you.
It's mean spirited in the sense of, oh, you're here
and you don't agree with the things that I agree with.
(12:40):
All right, cool, so I'm gonna lie about you and
slander about you and maybe give like racist or sexist
or violent undertones. But it's fine because that's the world
we live in. Also, everybody else is doing it. I
just stop looking. In fact, the only thing that that
(13:05):
makes me do is try to remember your name. That's it.
I have a really hard time with names anyways, so
there's a good chance I wouldn't regardless, And there's only
been a couple people that I consider close that have
done this where I'm like, all right, well that's it
for us. Then I guess not because they're voting for
somebody else, or they're voting for the same candidate as me.
(13:26):
It's because they're just being a dick about it. This
is too crucial of a time to let your thumbs
think for you. It also sets an absolutely terrible example,
and the worst one, maybe not even the worst. It's
(13:47):
not the worst, I can tell you that, but the
one that got me to this point. Some girl I
don't know again. Remember on social media, the majority I
would say ninety to ninety five percent of people who
are on my social media who pop up in my
feet are people I've never met or know personally. They're
(14:09):
just because of this job. You know. It was a
picture cut and pasted a little cutout of Kamala Harris
on a gram Cracker s'more, the caption reading, you've heard
of elf on a shelf? Now get ready for you
(14:30):
know what it is. I mean, it's not funny, it's
kind of easy pickings. Actually, like it's not well thought out.
It's just like, here's the thing. If you don't know,
horror on a s'more, that's it. Horror on a s'more.
That's what they want you to think. And then ha,
(14:52):
laugh with your stupid emoji faces. I'm gonna share this, man,
huh or whatever. But I didn't know this person. And
when I saw this picture, I just thought, are you
really very barely veiled calling the female this person's a woman?
Mind you posting this calling another female the presumptive nominee
(15:20):
for president from one of the two major political parties
in our country and the current vice president of the
United States? Are you just calling her a whore? So
I click on this person's profile because I don't know her.
The first thing I see it's her profile picture, and
(15:41):
it's her and her kids in the church baptismal holding
up signs, all of them Jesus saves. I am You're
(16:03):
about to say a sentence and realize like you don't
need to say it, because I mean, it's pretty self evident.
I am, by no means perfect. Okay, that'd be come on,
And I am by no means a perfect Christian person
at that I mean not even close. But this willful
(16:27):
public dichotomy that you have presented, You know what, the
first word that came to mind was when I saw
this as not just a human being, but somebody who
does I say, consider themselves a Christian? I know I'm
a Christian. It's putrid. Immediately, that's the word that it's
(16:49):
a rotten. It is decaying, flesh, stink, putred. I don't
hate a lot of things. In fact, pretty much everything
I hate I just ignore. Right, it's the best way
to get through life. Like that popped up in front
(17:09):
of me, this woman holding up a sign with her
children publicly exclaiming Jesus saves and then with her thumbs
in a fit of Christian nationalism fueled nonsense. Putred. Hatred,
(17:34):
that's all it is. Why why put it up there?
Why draw a line from this picture you posted and
then this other picture you posted and say, look, they
exist in the same world. Inside of me, I am
so thankful for Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, and
(17:55):
the love that I don't deserve that he gave to
me and gifts to me. And look my children as well.
Isn't an amazing thing? Who did you see the whore?
She slept with a guy who was married. Did you
see Oh you guys who thank you Jesus for all that.
(18:21):
That's great, But did you see the whore? It's really
really I don't want to have to go back and
edit this episode and insert bleeps, so I'm really I
really don't want to cuss you see how disgusting that
(18:42):
would be to not just somebody who is a Christian
who understands what God's love, what Jesus Christ's love and
message is all about, and then why to me, or
let's say just somebody out there who doesn't, who hasn't
(19:04):
accepted that gift, how they would see the two pictures
that you've put up and think, why would I ever
want this? Any part of this? I don't care if
(19:28):
you want to be an asshole, I'm not going to
bleep that. I don't. I really, I truly don't care.
Look if you want to come on and be like
I think Kamala Harris sucks so hard man, and I'm
not going to vote for her, uh because I think
she's a whore and I think she is dumb or
what she's a laugh? Guys, have you heard her laugh?
(19:51):
Presidential laugh? Not in my world, not my presidential laugh. Like,
if you think that that is the fine, be the asshole,
that's totally fine. Don't bring Jesus into this. You think
that's what he's all about, You think that's what he
(20:12):
wants you to be all about if you publicly profess him. Also,
just the irony I mean she's slept with a married guy.
Sure it's been admitted, like it's been talked about, and
it's a part of her history. I'm also fairly certain
(20:38):
that if we were keeping score on the wrness that
you just really wanted to make sure God out there publicly.
She's still losing to the now official candidate from your
side of things, right, it's a blowout. If we're just
(21:03):
talking horror behavior. It's devolved into this. These are Christian
people doing this, and I can't to be fair, I can,
I can one hundred percent believe it. What I can't
(21:24):
understand are the people who are Christians who see this
and say or do absolutely nothing about it because to them,
having a semblance of what they've either been told is
their faith or may result in their faith becoming national.
(21:50):
Is Is that really what we want? Is that, as
Christians should we want our faith to be the only
one and mandated by law. If that's what you want,
then you're willing to turn a blind eye to everything else,
to treating people the least this poorly and not give
(22:19):
people a choice but to follow your religious rules. Like
the entire crux of Christianity hinges on one thing and
that is, you either do or you don't. The choice
(22:40):
is yours. You don't think that almighty powerful being in
three parts could have made you a believer without you
ever having a say in the matter. But he didn't
do that, did he. He gives everybody the choice and
(23:04):
the idea that the most fundamental and basic element to
Christianity of forcing people either into it or you're out
of our country. Do you think that's what Jesus wanted?
Do you think he wanted you to call Kamala Harris
(23:25):
a whore? I'm over it, not turning a blind eye
to it, just over talking about this specific woman doing this.
(23:47):
I'm far from over it. Let me talk to you tomorrow.
