Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everybody. Episode seven of The Matt Jones Show soon
to have a different name. Be ready for that same host,
different name. We're presented by Cornbread Hemp. This is the
Good Life. We have had a good first six episodes,
a lot of downloads. People seem to like it. It has
spread across the universe, so we appreciate that. Yes, last

(00:25):
week had a great conversation with my friend Billy r
Sports talking about the issues and the feedback was excellent,
So thank you all very much for that. Billy, did
you enjoy How was the feedback for you on that episode?

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Mainly negative?

Speaker 1 (00:42):
But you know, well, how is it mainly negative?

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Well, it was a lot of Billy doesn't know what
he's talking about, and you know, they're right.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
People you and say you don't know what you're talking
about all the time. That's not fair. You shouldn't do that.
Here's what I want to compliment you. Here's where I
thought it was great. You acknowledged what you knew, You
were honest about what you felt or what you thought.
You would listen to me and respond, and I think

(01:11):
it was it was interesting to me because you were
just saying, I think there's a lot of people like
you that get information, they're not exactly sure what's what
and they're trying to figure it out. So I don't
criticize you at all for it, and I think people
who do are off a little bit because I felt
like you went into it completely open minded and receptive
to whatever, and so I don't if you got criticism,

(01:32):
I don't think that's fair. Well, thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
I did enjoy it a little behind baseball. I didn't
know what we were doing until we started, so it
was all off the cuffs.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
I thought you if oftentimes I will say give Billy
a hard time, on this one, I would say you
handled that very well. We got kind of thrown a
curve box. I thought somebody else was going to do it,
so it kind of got put together. So I'm not
going to tell you to tell everybody to eat it,
but I appreciate you doing it, and we'll prise you
it again. Something okay, All right? Now. A segment we've

(02:00):
done on one episode before that people seem to like
was our news segment top ten news Items. Drew Franklin
is here with me. We're gonna do that again this week. Eventually,
when we get things rolling to the twice a week
that I'm hoping for. We might do this once a
week and then an interview once a week. We'll see.
We got to get in the flow. But Drew, I've
decided we're gonna call this it's the news. Oh good name.

(02:24):
I mean, it's gonna be part of this show, but
this segment will be it's the news because it's the news.
What else would you call it? Think of anything else?
And the other thing is when you turn on the
television and you see news, you don't question what it is.
You just know news is news, and there's news. So
this it's the news. So Billy has once again picked

(02:45):
the top ten news items in his mind of the week.
It's always fascinating because you're also seeing, even though it's
the news, what news does he think is important?

Speaker 3 (02:57):
This was unique for me. I've been gone on a
week and a half. I'm actually going to learn the
news through Billy today. This will be my I would
assume none of the ten I won't even know if had.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
So this is you are legitimately learning the news. I've
been off my phone for quite a while. Still get
a little caught up. So I said you were off
the grid, during that trip, were you, like, for real,
I went to Mexico.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
I wouldn't like I was at a resort. I mean,
I wasn't like in the woods. So you had electricity? Yeah, okay,
I mean I had my phone if I wanted to
look at it. Yeah, I was in a pool a lot,
not checking my phone.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Okay. That was in another country, off the grid. All right,
I respect that. I think that's a good way to
live sometimes. I did that for most of a couple
months last year. So all right, so you're ready to
learn the top ten news. I'm as ready as I'm
gonna get. It's the news, Billy, Top ten news. I'ms
a week. What is news item number one?

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Well, the number one story that's dominated headlines for the
past week or so has to be us being on
the verge of World War three with Iran in Israel.
The two of it exchange missiles over the last week.
Trump has demanded Iran's unconditional surrender and has said we
now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Now,
this is a developing situation that is changing by the minute.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
But there have been some stay tuned Crazy Jones Show
for all of the latest updates.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Well, I don't know. I mean, I'm sure you guys
have fought it along. But like Iran State Media being
hit by a missile while they were alive on the air.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
I didn't see that. Oh yeah, did that happen? Did
they die?

Speaker 2 (04:30):
No?

Speaker 1 (04:30):
No? And then so they got hit by a missile
while they were on the air.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yes, I can bring up this video for you if
you'd like.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Okay, welcome to the news man, it's the news. This
is why I watched the news. Listen to the news,
just to learn things like this. Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
I think it's called Is it the Iron Dome that
Israel has?

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yes, well they claim to have. Some people don't know
if they do or not because some of the missiles
got through in Israel.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
But yes, So a lot's happening, a lot's changing, and
Donald Trump is on the cusp of making a very
big decision.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Something I've never heard how I broke ifs say on
the news, By the way, lot's happening? What going on? Ah? Yeah,
this is really scary, right. I mean, you know, I've
tried my best in the last week to sort of
educate myself about it as much as possible. The Middle
East has always been the one gap in my knowledge base,
like a real gap, because, to be honest with you,

(05:22):
I would look at it and Drew go, this seems
really complicated, you know, and whose land is it and
the history of it is hard. But this is even
different than that, because this is you know, there are
people who say you could be on the brink of
something catastrophic here are not like, I'm sure you haven't

(05:43):
gotten into minute details. Does it worry you, just as
Drew Franklin the citizen? Not really?

Speaker 3 (05:49):
Not really, I'm kind of worried that I've I not
to sound like insensori toy thing.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
I do not pay attention to any of this.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
It's one of those things like I'm good at if
I can't control anything going on, I'm not gonna let
it affect me too much. Now, this is war, which
is a pretty big deal. It could affect me, But
as far as like keeping me up and reading every
word and trying to see how word I need to be,
I still tend to just push it off.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Now, so you just sort of take the view of
anything that's not in America, not just that anything even
in America.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
I like it's not happening in my living room right
in front of my face. I usually don't sweat it
too much. Well, I mean, that's probably in some ways
the healthier.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
I mean.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
The way I found out about the missiles last night
was an Angel Reese meme this morning when I woke up,
like when I opened my phone. That's the news I get.
I don't follow like a lot of news.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
You found out about Iran saying they were gonna shoot
missiles by Angel Reese.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Seven am this morning. It was like her in a
general outfit. It says Iran has a new general because
none of the missiles connected, and it was that's how
I learned that there were even missiles yesterday.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Was an Angel Reese meme. That is that That is
not what I expected is to hear you say on
the news. I well, okay, So I will give you
the quick version of why I'm worried about it. Israel
and Iran have been doing this for a long time,
but it feels like it's gone up a notch. Israel
attacked and was I think fairly successful in their attack.

(07:19):
Iran responded, maybe slightly successful, but not as much. But
what worries me about this is what's gonna happen if
the US gets involved, because I feel I feel like
the USA, whether they offensively attack or not, we are
going to be involved. And some of our leaders have
specifically said they want Iran to have a regime change.

(07:43):
And if you go back throughout history in the last
one hundred years, the one thing that is one hundred
percent clear is when we try to change the governments
in other countries, it never works in the Middle East
because we can. We could right now overwhelm Iran. And
sometimes on my Twitter account, people are like bill them
to pieces and leave aside that millions and millions of

(08:04):
people would die. The question is what's next. That's what
killed us in a rock. Is we easily toppled Toadam Hussein,
But then what's next? You know what's next. You're gonna
have millions of refugees because they're not gonna have anywhere
to go. If you blow up Tehran where there's ten
million people that live there, where are they gonna what's

(08:25):
gonna happen to them? And then there'll be a civil
war and somebody you might like less than what you
have now might win because guess what tends to happen.
When you blow up a country, they tend to not
like you very much. So all of that makes me
nervous because while I'm not as isolationists as a lot

(08:48):
of people on the right and left, I'm generally okay
with playing a role in the world. History says, when
we get involved in wars outside of our country and
we don't have a plan when it's over, it doesn't work.
I mean, just go start with Vietnam and just go
through all of them. So I am actually worried about it.
And and I saw today we evacuated everyone. We're evacuating

(09:13):
every American from Israel, including like our embassy staff. When
you hear they're evacuating the embassy staff, that's that's a
bad time. Now. Caitlyn Jenner is still there. Oh really
she was with Caitlyn Jenner and Scott Jennings. I saw Scott,
but are both there. They just happen together visiting. I
hope they're together one hotel room. I do have to

(09:39):
make fun of seeingn commentator and former Hay Kentucky co
host Scott Jennings. I'm sure it's scary to be there,
so I'm not downplaying. I'd be scared, but he does
sort of go on TV and act like he is
fighting the war. Like he goes on TV and he's like,

(10:00):
this is Scott Jennings. Live from my hotel room. Not great,
and I have not left it in four days, but
I have all of the information. It's not exactly like
being in the middle of the war zone. I would
be scared if I was there, And I hope he
returned hisself safely for sure. But I wonder what Caitlyn
Jenner is doing.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
Does she walk by in the mirror when he's recording?
And I don't want to be completely whatever, don't care.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
There's a little bit of you, you know. I mean,
I would hate.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
For Americans to get involved and our troops have to
be over there and all of our people making that
sacrifice and us losing lives there. I mean, it's all
very serious. I'm not just downplaying it as far as
me like doom scrolling at home and worrying what's going
to happen the next morning?

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Do you just know?

Speaker 2 (10:50):
So?

Speaker 1 (10:51):
What do you When does it get to the point
that you have a stance on something that you feel
strongly about that does not involve like a restaurant. Yeah,
I know. Most of my stances are sports restaurants.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
Like, okay, I don't want to like like when people
are talking about COVID last year before we got to
Nashville and it was everywhere I was.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
I wasn't a guy like this isn't real, you know,
But I thought, whatever, this is just the next thing
they're talking about and it will pass.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
And then when it didn't, and then.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Yeah, of course I'm taking you know, I'm not just
like a nothing exists. There's no concerns in the world.
I'm mister care free. But as far as things just
that are, I guess on my TV and people are
debating them, I completely ignore this is now.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Let's say, I mean you, I think were for Harris,
but who does it matter to you? Whoever like you
do it? I know you vote, but when it's over,
are you like, well, okay, pretty much.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
I don't mean to be the gal my vote doesn't count.
But I'm a I'm a small piece of sand on
a gigantic beach. Whatever is gonna happen is gonna happen
no matter what I do with my day to day.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Your face, well, it's it's it's probably a bad idea,
probably a bad thing to think. But I'm not just
gonna sit at home and sweat something that I can
absolutely do nothing about where I stand in my life.
What about what if somebody were to say to you,
will you could do something about it? You could get involved,
you could make your voice heard. I don't know. You
could call see how he's doing. Like those things.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
If there are things closer to my circle, if it's
affecting accident or my family or me, then sure, yeah,
So what would it.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Take to it? Drew Franklin, like out to a protest?
Is there anything but that would get you out to
a caf? I'd go to any pro to people watch
now me holding the sign and actually, okay, well what
did you do to hold a sign?

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Taco John's shutting down?

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Okay? What if they come ice and they take all
of the people from Taco John's, then we have problems.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
But again, maybe it's a selfish attitude. You have reached
my my sphere here where I can control, You're messing
with my Taco Johns. I'm not insensitive to everything.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Criticism for this, and I don't want you to because
I feel like you're downplaying how much. You care about these,
You have a heart. But I don't worry about things
that I can't control. Yeah, okay, well I worry about things.
I mean I again, don't get me wrong. I'm not
sitting at home going oh no oh no oh no
oh no. I mean, I live my life. But this
is one. You know, Billy, we talked last week about

(13:26):
how the thing in LA was concerning to me. This
is saying I don't normally get concerned like the first
four years of Trump. I basically I didn't like a
lot of the stuff he did, but I go the
world's gonna move on. He won, he gets to do
this stuff. There's some things that happen now though, that
I think have long term ramifications, And that's what worries me.

(13:47):
What worries me about this is there's gonna be no
matter what, there're gonna be a lot of innocent people die.
A lot. There've already been innocent Israelis and Palestinians die.
There are going to be many more. They're gonna be
innocent Israelis die. They're gonna be innocent. I mean, Iran
has ninety million people. Sometimes people forget that a lot
of those people probably don't like the leadership. You know,

(14:08):
in Iran they all say death to America. But some
of us don't like Trump, you know, they just lump
us in. So chances are the same thing happens there.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Yeah, I will say I don't think Drew it's like
he doesn't care.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
But I agree.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
If you watch the news, it can be mainly negative
and it can pivot you to a dark place if
you a true care about that stuff. So you know, Drew,
but that's not all your news. I'm sure some of
your news is possible. Oh come on now, there's definitely
some positivity, some questionable news in here too this week.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
When you say questionable, like it might not be true, well, like.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Facts are optional on it's the news maybe, But like
sailing with Phoenix wasn't maybe a news story that you
thought was great last time?

Speaker 1 (14:47):
No, but it was even gave us something positive to
talk about. I agree with what you're saying. But sometimes
negativity is correct because there are things and I do
think this one and like Ukraine Russia. To me, if
you're just an American, is it important? I actually think
it is? But is it? Are you go? Is it

(15:08):
going to change your world immediately? Probably not this one could.
I mean, I don't think a nuclear weapons coming here.
But for instance, if we decided to attack Iran, Iran
will shoot at our army basis in the in Qatar,
and there will be American citizens that are there that
we'll have to deal with. That. That is for real,

(15:28):
Even if you don't care about the foreign countries, that
will happen. They will shoot. Commercial ships that are in
like delivering goods, will be on high alert. Gas prices
will double immediately, Like that stuff is gonna matter. Leave it.

(15:48):
That's not even counting the people who would die. So
I do think it matters, But I also understand why
you would go. I can't think about it all the time.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah, I'm not much I can do about I don't
mean that it's not serious or said and it doesn't
need to be solved. But just as where I'm sitting
in my day to day life, I'm just I'm like,
what can I do?

Speaker 1 (16:08):
What can you do? All? Right?

Speaker 2 (16:09):
One thing we should mention before we move off of
this topic is Tucker Carlson's interview with Ted Cruz. The
full thing was released today, but the snippet was released yesterday.
That I think most of us saw with him.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Why don't you play the snippet right?

Speaker 2 (16:21):
How many people living around? By the way, I don't
know the population at all.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
No, I don't know the population.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
You don't know the population of the country you seek
to topple.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
How many people living around? Ninety two million? Okay? Yeah,
how could you not know that? I don't sit around
memorizing population tables. Well, it's kind of relevant because you're
calling for the overthrow of the government.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Why is it relevant whether it's well, because ninety million
or eighty million or one hundred million, because if you
don't know anything about the country.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
I didn't say I don't know anything about Okay, what's
the ethnic mixtuper wrong? They are Persians and well person
at ly Shia.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Okay, you don't know anything about Iran, So okay, I'm
not the Tucker Carlson Iran.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
You're a center who's calling.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
The country so dred.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Do you think it matters that Ted Cruz does not
know how many people live in irand? Like? Is that
an unfair question? Like a gotcha question?

Speaker 3 (17:19):
I think so. I've even thought this about politicians forever.
They they're not just super computers that can know every
single thing.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Now, so how come on there? And Tucker cross and goes,
all right, how many people were in Iran? What would
you have said? What are we doing here? Like? What? Like?

Speaker 3 (17:35):
I would already be like, you're trying to get me
in a gotcha moment. I'm not going to play into this.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Okay. I think that's actually he should.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
Know more than it seemed like he did. But I mean,
people can't be experts on everything down to exact number.
I don't even did he even give a number close.
I don't remember exactly.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
What I said. I think at one point later he goes,
what could be eighty ninety one hundred? The number was ninety.
So it turns out he knew more than he acted like.
It definitely felt like Tucker was had, you know, all
the studs him Yes, yeah, I mean Tucker knew on
Google he was gonna ask yes and then yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
I mean you should be to have Ted Cruz's stance,
you should be very knowledgeable about it. But if he's
off by a couple ten thousand on the population, no,
I don't know that.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
That's a I've often wondered why more reporters don't ask
questions that just show how stupid politicians are, because I,
first of all, I don't think Ted Cruz is stupid.
I think he's actually very smart, and I think Tucker
Carlson is very smart. But there are a lot of
stupid politicians on both sides, and I think sometimes you
should just ask them this thing that you have a

(18:39):
strong opinion about, tell me some facts about it, because
they don't know they do not.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Well, they wouldn't talk to you.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Well, that's when they become politicians and just wazle their
way out of there. Exactly right, And that's partially why
people don't do it. You're exactly That's partially why people
don't do because they want to be able to get
guess right. But I do think it would be interesting
to play a do you know what you're talking about? Game?
I think asking the exact population of country is a
little bit hard, but I do you think it would

(19:09):
be fair to say, Okay, you want to bomb Ran,
show me where it is on the map.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Yeah, especially something, especially something as serious as this, because
I would like to do that with politicians, a lot
of them.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
I'd love to do with Donald Trump. You think we
shouldn't bring anybody in from the South Sudan. Just give
me a ballpark or where you think that is circle
of region and just give me a ballpark Venezuela, where
I would be interesting because I think there's a lot
of politicians on both sides. It would fail that test exponentially.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
I completely agree, even I don't remember which president it was.
Might have been Trump, might have been Biden, but didn't
one of them. I guess the price of milk, and
they're off by a lot. It's like, yeah, that's more
of this against a common man.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
It was George Bush, the older one, when he was
running for and is like he was he was like
doing a I'm gonna be a regular guy that goes
to the grocery store and they were scanning his groceries
and he goes, when did we get this? So like,

(20:17):
I if you ask me what the price of milk is,
to be honest with you, I don't drink milks. I'm
not sure I would know the answer, But I feel
like you should know that grocery scanners exist at this point,
you know, Yeah, I mean I wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
Do well pointing out a lot of countries on the map,
But I'm also not making big decisions about these although
I think I could, I could find Oh you could, Yeah, you.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Think you could find all right, So I'm gonna give you.
I'm not gonna make you do it right now. But
if I were to say, to you find Indonesia, do
you think you could get it right?

Speaker 3 (20:45):
I don't know, But I was gonna say the Middle
East countries that we're talking about right now, okayse if
I said, show me Jordan.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
I think I could get Jordan. Really maybe, Okay, I
don't know if I could. I mean, I could get
it close, but I'm not sure i'd get the right
miss it by more than like a two borders. Well
maybe one day. On the news, Well, it's the maps,
it's the map.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
I won the West Broadway Elementary School Geography B in
fifth grade West Broadway.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
This same year I won the spelling by West Broadway. Yeah,
they only did half of Broadway.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
Yeah, I was a West Broadway Bobcat on the football
team Wow. Tied in for football geography b Champ, Wow,
spelling be Champ, and quick recall.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
Wow. And he still doesn't like the news. I had
too much of it in fifth grade.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Number two, Oh, this is some more chilling news. The
political assassinations in Minnesota last weekend. Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Keep it uplifting here, old, we got to start.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
With the tough stuff. Matt, you know that and her
husband were shot dead in their home. Democratic state Senator
John Hoffman and his wife were shot as well the
same night by the same person, and they are recovering
in the hospital now. The suspect was in a police
uniform and a hyper realistic silicone mask, knocking on Democratic

(22:09):
politicians doors. And those were not the only two stops
he made. He actually made several more stops. In the
middle of the night.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
He went to two other places and they weren't.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Home, right vance Bolter was found after a forty three
hour manhunt, the biggest in Minnesota history, laying down in
the woods. But this comes off of many political assassinations
in the past, including Nancy Pelosi's husband being hit with
a bat and the Trump assassination attempt.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
Yeah, we can't keep I mean, this has got to stop.
I mean, you know, a couple times in American history
we've had where this has started happening, most recent being
like the late sixties, early seventies, And we can't do this.
I thought the senator from Utah, Mike Lee, that like
basically made a joke and.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Said something nightmare on Waltz Street.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah, that's shameful. Tim, Well, that's shameful. He should resign.
That's a shameful act to even mock it a little bit.
And but in general, that is scary. Now, you said
it was a realistic silicon mask. Did you see it?
I did.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
It was like a bank robber kind of Do you.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Think that was really? Did you think that was realistic?

Speaker 2 (23:20):
If I'm getting my door knocked on at three am
at night saying the police are at my door, I
think it is realistic. Fair a flashlight shining in my face.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
It wasn't realistic like face to face. But like if
you're driving a car and.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
Street cameras or reen cameras, anything's trying to pick you up,
it'd be make it just even harder.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
For them to ever identify. Because he got to four houses,
So this was clearly long time playing went to four houses.
Two people died to survive, yes, but just awful. And
he had a list of forty five people. I guess
he thought he could get to all of them.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah, a hit list of nearly seventy names.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
With seventy names. Now. I saw his wife was pulled
over with cash passports, so we talked about this on
our regular show. I wondered if he would get away.
Do you think there's I asked a friend of mine
who's in law enforcement, do you think someone like that
could get away? And they were basically like no, And

(24:20):
they were talking to me about how they find people now,
and it was really fascinating. I didn't realize all the
things people can do. Did you know that they can tell,
like within a few meters where your phone is, oh
not even like just like they're in this room. Did

(24:40):
you know that?

Speaker 3 (24:41):
I didn't know that precise but I know with the
phone that'll get you caught if you're doing anything.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
So you have to get rid of your phone. Yeah,
you can't have a phone, can't have a credit card.
You gotta have cash because you can't you spend a
credit card. Once they'll know. I hadn't thought of this.
Think about all the street cameras that can see your
license play. So really you have to drive a car
with no connection to you whatsoever.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
They could almost follow you from a doorstep, just as
far as you want to go, whether it be neighborhood
cameras all the way into town with the street cameras.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
That's exactly right. So it just means like you have
yourself a death wish when you do something like this, right.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
Yeah, I mean, even if you get away a little bit,
at some point, people are gonna be like, hey, where's Matt.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
You know. I wonder if he had just done the
first one and not tried to do the second one,
if they I still assume they would have caught him.
But they caught him because they drove up when he
was doing the second one, and then he got away.
But it's terrible this stuff, like you can't.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Well, you could get out of the country and still
be found. You can even hide in a pizza hut
in Honduras and they'll find you.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yeah, but they took him a long time to find
Eric's e con. He was down there for a long
long time and then they finally got him. He probably
wasn't quite as high priority because it was social security fraud.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
I think the red flag was actually ordering soup and
a pizza hut. They were like, this guy's gotta be
on a list.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
I mean, I would say when their law enforcement is
figured out what they're gonna do. The murdered state legislator
rakes higher than social security fraud in eastern Kentucky. But
what do I know?

Speaker 3 (26:25):
It's an example of a big part of why I
hate politics right now. If it's just either way, there's Mike,
Mike guilt, a lot of crazy out there.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yeah, a lot of things that don't One thing. Part
of what makes Mike Lee's comment so bad is, you know,
I don't understand why politicians don't go Well, that could
be me next, you know what I mean? Like if
I mock it, Oh, that could be me.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
Well, serious question. You say a lot of nasty things
to Louisville fans, and you've talked about in the past
your mom being a little afraid of people coming to
the bar knowing where you're at.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Yeah, but I would never wish forget about death. Do
you think I would mock a death? No? No. Do
you think I would mock physical harm someone? God, if
someone got beat up?

Speaker 2 (27:10):
No?

Speaker 1 (27:10):
No, there are lines. It's one thing to say all
you know, Nancy Pelosi's mean or like whatever. It's another
thing when Nancy Pelosi's husband gets beaten up to the
point of almost death, and you mock it in his home,
in his home, like that's a whole nother thing, and

(27:31):
some people act like those are the same things. Do
I ever worry about it. I've got more physical threats
about political talk than sports talk, okay, and I've been
much meaner to Louisville fans.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Well, not everybody's saying right, so you never know if somebody's.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Yes is what is my mom right to be worried?
There are crazy people, yeah, but you're probably more likely
to be killed by somebody you cut off in traffic.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
You know, most, not all, but most people can separate
sports hate in real life issues in real life hate.
I hate Louisville fans. I mean I want them to
go home to their families and have a nice meal
and get some sleep. I just want their team to
lose every game.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
I've only had one circumstance in my life where I
thought I was gonna get beat up at the twenty
twelve Final four in New Orleans. Where I got it
was me and there were two women I knew. We
were walking down the street and we got kind of cornered,
and there were like ten frap Boy Louisville fans, because
you know, we played little on the Final four and

(28:39):
I really thought I'm gonna get beat up. And honestly,
one of the girls mocked the dude so much they stopped.
Wow hour, Yeah saved you. She didn't say no because
there was nothing. I mean, what am I gonna do
it against ten guys? And it was like an alley

(29:00):
like there was nowhere. There was nowhere for me to go,
and I didn't think they were gonna like kill me,
but I thought this kind of sounds like was that
that not the Outsiders? What is it?

Speaker 2 (29:10):
West Side Story?

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Yeah? There we go the Sharks and the Sumpthing's no.
I mean, I've been with you that night. It was
the night we were with Josh Hopkins and Rex Chapman.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
That was a hustle night too. I had a few
moments where I'm like, this might actually be the.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Bourbon Street had k this was the Was it the
night we beat Louisville or the night before we beat them?
I want to say before because I think they know
because we that was I bet there were a lot
of fights on the street that night. I bet because
there were Kentucky and Louisville fans dominating the streets of

(29:44):
New Orleans, and there was a group feel of okay,
it's on who wants so we've all got her colors on,
we know who's who. And I was like, hey, women
save me, and I I got distracted, Yeah, women, please
save me. And then that you know that happened, But yeah,

(30:09):
it was uh. I know there were fights. There was
a time a friend of mine threw a hot dog
at Browning Nagel. I remember that.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
You've told that story.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
I believe. Yeah, Browning Nagel is on the street and
they next thing I know, former carc louisll quarterback Browning
Nagle and my friends are throwing hot dogs at each
other in between games of poop dollars. So you know,
that's the closest I've felt to be worried. But all right,
what's number three?

Speaker 2 (30:40):
All right, let's talk about the Air India plane crash.
Keeping it heavy.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Is there anything nice that you have not in.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
The first three topics? Ok, we got to tackle the news.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
I mean, these are very heavy topics, but it is
the news.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
Usually people like our podcast here because we get so silly,
but this is all.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
This is very serious. It is the news. People need
to be in forced true, So go ahead.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
I can't control what the news is. A Boeing seven
eighty seven Dreamliner crash shortly after takeoff last week. Two
hundred and seventy people died, two hundred and forty one
on the plane and twenty nine on the ground. The
plane crashed into a medical college hostel. The one survivor
is a British Man who walked off of the plane
in a bizarre video.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
He also seems brought him walking off. No, just like there,
things happened amazing, He's alive.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
The fact that he was walking away from that, it
took me a while to even believe what I was
looking at.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
Unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Well, people there didn't even realize he was in the
crash until he started telling people he was just walking
away from the wreckage. He did lose his brother in
the same crash. Officials are looking at the black box
of the plane to discover the reason of the crash.
But two hundred and seventy lives lost.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
Lest Yeah, that's awful. I mean, that's awful. It's I
continue to say, it's amazing to me. More of these
things thought, have you consider how many flights there are
in the world. How does it not happen more often?
You know what I mean, it's it's unbelievable. But for
one person to survive, what would you feel if you

(32:16):
were the one that survived.

Speaker 3 (32:19):
At first, you're gonna be just so relieved and I
almost feel superhuman. Then you're gonna I think there'd be
a lot of guilt, you know, a survivor guilt. Oh,
I definitely I would have it. I would have it
if I want to. I realized that everyone I was
just with died and I'm the only one that made it.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
See I obviously we can't put ourselves in that situation.
I've often felt like, you know who I have a
lot of sympathy for in the world is when the
Lexington flight happened, where everyone died with the cop islant.
Remember that, I've often wondered about that person because in theory,
that person was impartial control, even though it was probably

(32:59):
not their fault at all. But I think, what was
they took off from the wrong runway or something shorter.
When I think, yeah, something like that, I've often wondered
what it would be like, how much that would weigh
on your mind? For this guy though, I mean lost
his brothers. He's gotta be but walking away what an
insane I have an update.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
He was today a pall bearer carrying his brother's coffin.
So he's just like fine, I'm looking at a picture him.
He's got bandages on his face, but he's carrying the
coffin at the funeral.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
I mean, that's what was he set?

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Eleven A eleven A. There were initial reports he jumped
out of the plane. That was not true. He had
to crawl through a opening in the.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
So he had already crashed and he crawled out.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
He crawled out.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Wow, that is nuts in it? Well, you know, I
mean there's not a whole lot of use. You could say,
there's not a contrary opinion. No, very tragic, but there's
some way out there going. Well, you know, has there.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
Even been any I mean you mentioned the copilot, but
sometime that this extent, something this big, and he literally
walks away. I can't even think of anything.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
People, I mean, people probably don't survive plane crashes very often,
do they know?

Speaker 2 (34:08):
I wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Who is it there's someone famous that has survived? Is
it Rick Flair? I would? I think Rick Flair. This
could be completely wrong, but I believe he survived two
plane crash. I know that sounds crazy. There is a
celebrit there is some celebrity that has survived.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
Rick Flair was involved in a plane crash in nineteen
seventy five.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
That's one is see if he's two, there's someone that
has survived two plane crashes. Well, I mean, well, I
don't know if you're gonna be able to figure it
out right this minute, but you can check for the news,
uh and let me know. But but even one two?

Speaker 2 (34:47):
What was the guy that won the US Open and
then he died in a plane crash.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
Payne Stewart, You remember that one.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
They all passed out up there.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
Yeah, so they had like some sort of gas and
they passed out and it was just a uh and
it was just a flight. You remember that, Like everyone
was dead in the plane and they knew, but it
just was flying. And the Jets followed it because if
it was going to crash somewhere bad, they were gonna
shoot it down.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
Wasn't there a college basketball player who survived too? He
lost his whole family and each of them. I think
he played for Michigan, probably ten years ago.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Maybe Travis Barker was somebody that went through a plane crash.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Did he? Oklahoma State had a basketball team, I think
where there were They came home from a basketball game
in two flights, and one of the flights crashed and
the other one did so again, continuing the uplifting news
for Billy, it's number four a little bit. Do I
need to do these reads?

Speaker 2 (35:43):
By the way, Oh yeah, you do?

Speaker 1 (35:45):
On the air? Changed? Let me change it up. Clayton

O N and croom dot com. Al Right, what's number four? Oh?

Speaker 2 (36:21):
Well, do you want an uplifting story here to break
it up.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
That would be good. That would be good. I think
you've you've you've bummed us out.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Okay, well, fires or anything you want to bring up.
I'll just wait, Drea, I got plenty, but I do.
I think we found the perfect Christmas gift for Matt
Drew Trump is launching his own smartphone. Oh not only that,
but his own mobile service, Trump Mobile is here smartphones
made in America and solid gold for only four ninety nine.

(36:50):
This is going to be released in August, and the
subscription for the monthly I guess mobile service is forty
seven dollars and forty five cents.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
Because he was president forty five. That's right.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
Yeah, So the Trump sons, the grift continues, are doing
a lot of publicity for this in the last week
or so.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Do you don't even ask? Are you gonna ask me
if I'm gonna get the phone?

Speaker 2 (37:10):
Well, we're gonna get it for you. It sounds like,
but do you think this? I mean, is it possible
to make a phone a smartphone in America for only
four ninety nine?

Speaker 1 (37:19):
I mean, yeah, probably if they're doing it, I mean,
we don't know, Like it's probably terrible, right, the.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
One smartphone company in the United States made in the
United States. Their cell phone is two thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
Yeah, but I mean, we don't know what features this
phone has, like it might be it might be like rotary,
you know. I mean, is it possible to make a
phone for four hundred niney nine dollars? Yeah? Is it
possible to make one with a high definition camera and
the AI? And I would say no, But is it
possible to be like Sarah, can you get me Drew? Well,

(37:54):
we got to call the operator. You have to call
the operator. And Donald Trump do you? And your answers
and goes all right, hang on, you can't be on
your landline at home. And I also use the Trump
sound ide Internet and get a phone that's the quality
of like an iPhone for four hundred ninety nine dollars.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
To No, I do not think that I am excited
to just see what this is.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
Who buys that? Who are the people that buy? Now
I'm being serious because the kind of person to me
that buys this is probably the kind of person doesn't
have a lot of money.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
That's the same person that bought the coin in the
the watch.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
The watch well, No, that was people like just flaunting
their wealth the shoes. The shoes cause they're like, what
twenty dollars or so whoy don't want to flaunt their
wealth with a gold phone, solid goal made in Mississippi.
I think we should get one just for the show purposes.
Maybe Ryan's home every night. It'll be better than the
one Ryan. Yeah, this isn't upgrade for Ryan. Ryan want

(38:51):
to know what the insurance on it is because he
definitely has to sign up for that, does it not?
I'm not trying to be mister stick in the mud,
but it does not bother anybody that the President of
the United States is selling stuff while he's president. Does
that not bother anybody?

Speaker 2 (39:04):
Like?

Speaker 1 (39:04):
That used to be a no no, and now it's
like it's president trump box or briefs.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
It does feel icky. But is it kind of like
Pelosi and her stock tradings.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
No, that's ikey too. But again, let me just say,
the answer to is something wrong is not by saying
someone else does something wrong. It's either wrong or it's not.
So Nancy Pelosi and the inside stop Congress people should
not be able to trade stocks while they're in Congress.
They're really good. They should not all of them. And
I think you could make a strong argument that if
they're on a committee that writes bills, they shouldn't even

(39:42):
be able to own companies that are from them. But
I'll at least like settle with they can put it
into trust. Okay, but yeah, no congress people should be
able to do it. But that's not an excuse, right, So, yes,
that's wrong. But don't you think a president selling Trump

(40:04):
your wax is wrong. I think we've got enough going on.
Maybe leave the side hustles for when you're not president.
I saw they interviewed one of the kids and he
was like, our dad has nothing to do with it. It's us.
Stop it. Nobody's buying an Eric Trump phone. It's for
your dad. It's like Hunter Biden being like everybody liked

(40:25):
my art. Nobody liked your stupid art. It's for your dad.
We're getting the phone, though, we got to get the phone.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
To do what Ryan has to get the phone.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Like you said, his own company. Is he like putting
up the towery is this.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Part of the appeal is that they're keeping their data
in the United States, so maybe somebody that in his house. Yeah, well,
they look at it all, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
They saying they're keeping the data in the United States. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
So if you're a conspiracy theory.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
What phone company like it's got to go over a network.
They don't have the money to put a network up.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
See that's the question at four ninety nine is the
price point is incredible, So the thing must be rotary
or something wrong with it.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
You have to be connected to why fight now? I
will say if it's rotary, I'll buy rotary that you
I would buy that. I mean, when I go to
Breathittt County, I can't even get my phone to work.
You're expecting me to his phone to work.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
This says Trump Mobile will offer five G through all
three major cellular carriers, so he gets all three of them.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
Okay, so there's got to be some law that allows
secondary companies to do that, because yeah, he wouldn't have
his own towers and all that.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
I like the idea of Don Junior just out putting
up a tower pulling wire.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
You know, this continues my view. Famous kids should not
be allowed to speak at all. We'll just think about it.
Kid screws it up, especially male kids like the Bush daughters,
seem fine to me. The Obama daughters seem fine to me.
But Hunter Biden's out there doing blow off of you know,

(42:11):
off of Tom Duridge.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
I'm George Lane.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
And then you got you got Trump's idiot kids, so
on everything you got what was it Jimmy Carter's brother,
Bill Clinton's brother. The family members should not We shouldn't
ask them anything, should we?

Speaker 2 (42:32):
No, but they got to cash in when their brother
or dad is the president.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
Right, No, that should be elite. We should make you
should make Trump Junior get a job. Yeah, keeping dreaming.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
All right. This is something that you might have some
thoughts on, Matt, and that is global over tourism. The
famous museum, the Loover Is I believe how you say
it done, recently closed its doors because the staff is overwhelmed.
They closed the loop, they closed it. Thousands of people
confused waiting outside the pyramid out there. Roughly twenty thousand

(43:09):
people visit the Mona Lisa every single day.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
Oh, it's wild. When I went to the Mona Lisa
last summer, you would think you're at a circus looking
at a monk like. People treat it with no respect.
Everyone's pushing each other. Yeah, it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
Yeah, so it's kind of like air traffic control. There's
just not enough people to run the museum. This scene
is often noisy, jostly, and so dead that many barely
glance the painting. But anti tourism protests I've been going
throughout Europe right now, and one specifically in Barcelona where
they're squirting water guns. You know, I was there for

(43:46):
that last year, So that's what I wanted to ask you.
Did you get squired with the lot?

Speaker 1 (43:48):
I was there the day they did it for the
first time I saw them. So I was in Barcelona
last year when that started, you know, when they started
shooting the water. Now they're doing it even more this year.
I honestly, they have a point. There are too many
people in Europe, especially the big cities Rome Circus, Florence, Circus, Barcelona, Circus, Paris, Circus.

(44:15):
But I don't know what you do about, you know,
because every what are you gonna tell? Everybody wants to
be Like it's history, so everybody wants to be there.
Barcelona is beautiful, So what do you do? Do you
agree with these people, like get out of our city.
But part of the reason Barcelona is Barcelona is people
come if they stop coming, you're not gonna have as
much money to do all the things you do. I've

(44:37):
seen this is verse.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
I've heard of Louve being crowded, but I've seen like
Italian cities where you just can't do anything. They're they're
just so taken over by tourists. Everywhere something like a museum.
I would guess you could just price everyone out, but
that's what you don't.

Speaker 1 (44:51):
Want to do. That the access to like all the
nicest and most important works of art and history just
be only if you have five hundred dollars or maybe
you set a limit each day. Yeah. So I was
in Barcelona the very first time they did it, and
it was I get it, man, Like they lived there
and they're getting priced out of their own city. But

(45:14):
at the same time, who you gonna tell not to come?
You know, I would say to you, if you're listening
and you want to go to Europe. This is Matt Jones' advice.
Do not go to one of those major cities in
late June through August. Go in May, April, September, October.

(45:35):
It's a circus, it really is. Now. Those cities are good,
Like if you go to Rome, If you just don't
go to the historic places, it'll be fine. But if
you want to go to you know, you want to
go to the coliseum, like be ready to fight people.
Have you been to all those places? Have you been
to Europe? No?

Speaker 3 (45:52):
I was gonna try to do a euro trip this year,
but we have too much going on. Maybe next year,
not in June or July. No, did you tell me?

Speaker 1 (45:59):
Well, like I wouldn't want to go late June, July
and August, like starting now, and see the Europeans all
take their vacations in August, all of them. So you
really don't want to go from like mid June to August.
Now you can go. I recommend going to other parts
of Europe. But if you want to go to those
major cities, like I went to Rome and all that

(46:19):
in May so that I could then go to smaller places.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
The rest of the raises the cost of living, it
forces people out of downtown, and then it also changes
the culture of the city.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
Yeah, and they really that's a big deal to them
in like Barcelona, where they think they're like but also
people are visiting for the culture.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
In French in Barcelona.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
Yeah, so the visitors are there to see the culture,
but they're also ruined. They change the culture. So somebody
gave me a tip. When you go to Italy, et cetera,
don't eat at any restaurant that has pictures of the
food on a sign outside. Okay, it's a great tip
because think about it. If you're from Italy, you don't

(47:00):
need to know. You know what it looks like. You
know what it looks like, right, So if you just
do that, you're immediately going to get a higher quality restaurant.
And when you start noticing that, when you if you travel,
if you start noticing, not just in Europe, anywhere, if
there are pictures of the food outside on a sign

(47:22):
in front of the restaurant, you don't want to go there.
I think more often than not, that's good advice. At
the beach, think about when you go to the beach,
places that have a picture of like.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
They're not good because they're having to I guess lure
you in by show a stupid people.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
Yeah over here, over here.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
Oh and that's another one. Anyone that has a place
where someone is yelling in front of you, would you
like to come in? You don't want to. Don't go
into those those two pieces of advice. Somebody gave them
to me in Europe. Great advice, makes sense, makes sense?
What's next?

Speaker 2 (47:59):
All right? I want to ask you guys, which court
case has your attention? Is it p Diddy or is
it Karen Reid? Has Two high profile cases are going
on right now.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
Neither, I admit I've completely missed the Karen Read thing totally.
Are you in it? No?

Speaker 3 (48:18):
I mean I'm aware of both in what's going on?
But like she, is it going on?

Speaker 1 (48:23):
Yeah? It is?

Speaker 2 (48:23):
Yeah, when jury is deliberating right now.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
Okay, because I didn't know if it had ever stopped
when it started. It feels like it's gone on for
a year and a half.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
There was a mistrial, the jury didn't come to it.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
So do you know the details of both? Yeah? I know,
it's the news. Give me the Karen Read just the
easiest version. Okay.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
So deliberations are taking place right now.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
But what do they alleged? Happened?

Speaker 2 (48:47):
A murder of her Boston police officer boyfriend. I guess
the prosecution alleges that Read, after a night of drinking,
intentionally ran over her boyfriend with her SUV and left
him to die in the hold. The defense is arguing,
read was framed by law enforcement for what for this?

Speaker 1 (49:07):
And why for?

Speaker 2 (49:09):
Like the what the end goal is for framing her?
I'm not sure. This is just this is what the
defense is arguing here.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
So who did do you think that she did it? Yes? Yeah,
I do. Okay, I know a woman who's like would
murder you for saying that she's one hundred percent think
she's innocent. Well, and I don't know how anyone could know,
but she's she's adamant about it.

Speaker 3 (49:31):
I saw like a scene outside the courthouse yesterday if
people are protesting for her, and I even said, like,
how do these people have any idea if she really
did it or not? To the fact you dress up
in T shirts and get out there.

Speaker 1 (49:42):
So why do people care so much because she's not famous?
Why is this such a bit why?

Speaker 2 (49:48):
Well, I'm not sure exactly why. The fascination may be
part of the reason why it's being the second trial and.

Speaker 1 (49:55):
The jury well, okay, so we don't we don't, So
the jury's deliberate, right, what about Diddy? Do you care
about Diddy? Uh No, not even a little bit. I
know it's a big deal.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
Like even my parents who when I was listening to Diddy,
were like, turn that crap off. Now it's you. Are
you keeping up with the Diddy trial? I'm like, wait
a minute, No, they can't show interest in did he now?
But no, I I mean I know what's going on
because it pops up on.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
Famous names come up in the Diddy trial. I know
that he clearly seems, at least clear to me to
not be great as a human. Have there been like
there was always talk that they were gonna be all
these famous people part of it. I don't think they've
name dropped anyone yet. The only thing I ever heard
was what like somebody from family matters than me? Car? Yes,

(50:48):
actually I think it was Carl Winsley. No way had
been Eddie? Am I wrong?

Speaker 2 (50:53):
I've heard him involved with something? Was it p Diddy's
freak offs?

Speaker 1 (50:58):
I think was it that was talking about it? Was
it Chappelle or something? Said he was fine not having
been invited to Didy party until he heard that Carlt
Winslow was had been invited, and he was like, you
mean you invited Carl Winslow and you didn't invite me?
It would be insulting.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
So recently in the case, things have kind of gotten
a little crazy. One juror was dismissed because they found
out he lied to the court. A judge said, someone
is lying because sensitive information was leaked out. The other
day the jury was just shown videos of the freak Offs.

Speaker 1 (51:33):
So right now there's a lot show the freak off.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
They had an iPad and headphones and they had to
watch some of the Freakoffs.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
Yes, I did see something about that, it said one
of the jurors giggled.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
I did not see that. That would be a weird
time to giggle too.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
It would be so weird. I assume the jury is sequestered.
It would be so weird to be like, you got
to spend the next six months of your life watching
freakoffs with did he did he? Do?

Speaker 2 (52:00):
He?

Speaker 1 (52:00):
Did him? Like? What? At some point you have to
look in the mirror and go, why this is why
I'm on earth. This small amount of time I'm here
is to watch this. I've had drury duty three times.
It was like a guy had a little weed in
the rental house.

Speaker 3 (52:13):
The other two they sent me home pretty early. I
didn't get anything near the extent that the pressure these
people have.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
No I had drury duty it was bank fraud and
we couldn't come to a consensus. It was one guy
that was holding out and it took an extra day.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
Did you finally come to contes? Okay, now I'm mentioned
in this. How did you wear him down? Or did
you convincing? What happened? Oh?

Speaker 2 (52:33):
He was just so close minded that he wouldn't listen
to reason, and so like, did you try? Did you
personally try? I had to get involved.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
Oh I had to be like, dude, look at the facts.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
I mean this. It's actually fascinated by this because I've
done trials, but I've never I've never been in a
jury room. So you got you did the case. When
you got back there, were you the foreman of the jury? No?
I was not, So you were just one of the
other people. Were you in general quiet through most of
the conversation.

Speaker 2 (53:02):
For a lot of it. Yeah, I wasn't going to
run the room. That was obviously something you have someone.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
Who was running the room. Yeah, and then at some
point you decided I, as the newsman, have to get involved.
What made you do? Well?

Speaker 2 (53:15):
We all got frustrated. It was like he wasn't seeing
clear facts. It wasn't a part of like, oh I
could see it this way or another. It was like,
clearly this led to this, not you know, we're not
leaving this up to chance because of this, this and this,
and I guess eventually after we had to come back
another day to do the deliberations that you know, we
were done getting lunch and waiting in court.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
So he stayed long enough to get two lunches.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
More than that, the trial was like a week.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
Wow. So did you when you went home and knew
you had to come back for another day, did you
hate this person? Yes? Yeah I did.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
It doesn't pay for crap, No, no, it does not.
And you know, in this company, I do a lot
of jobs and so we had to get a lot
of people to help with that.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
So you hated this guy, you were like, and then
he finally came around.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
Yes, the guy that was holding out finally did come around,
and thank god. I mean it was extremely boring at times.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
Like hmm, well that's interesting, Billy, I've never heard that story.
So this is what we learned on the news. So
so you think did he guilty?

Speaker 3 (54:15):
Yeah, even just the videos you've seen things he's already
done that are out. He just seems like a despicable person. Okay,
Carl Winslow, I don't think he was there. Okay, I'm
gonna need to see the tape on Carl Winslow. All right,
good deal, all right, what's the next? Billay and Karen Reid?
My final stance is knowing nothing about it?

Speaker 1 (54:33):
Guilty just against.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
Bieber's involved in the p didty stuff too.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
I feel like like he seems to be breaking down right,
things are not going well for you.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
Yeah, he's kind of like screaming at people at the
Papa Razzi. He's been going after a lot.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
Is he still married to Hayley?

Speaker 2 (54:46):
Yeah, but I think he resents her a lot. How
would you know that?

Speaker 1 (54:53):
How would you know what Justin Bieber thinks about Hailey Bieber?

Speaker 2 (54:58):
Well, there's a lot in the news with sel Gomez
getting married to the ugliest guy in the world, Benny
Blanco or whatever his name is.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
And this is the kind of news out here for.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
We still have serious topics to get to days.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
Bennie Blanco. Okay, that's your boy from Dave. He is
good on Dave. Yeah, that's good. All right, Well, it's
sorry about Justin Bieber, Hailey Beaber and Billy beef. What's next?

Speaker 2 (55:22):
Let's talk about the infinite workday. New research by Microsoft
shows that the average worker is interrupted every two minutes
during the workday hours by a meeting, an email, or
an instant message. And it goes farther, guys. I mean,
it started with COVID and remote working, but now it's
just spled into everyday life. Eight pm meetings have raised

(55:43):
sixteen percent since last year on Microsoft teams, and I
guess you know, more and more people are finding it
harder to plug their turn off their work life.

Speaker 1 (55:53):
Well, I totally believe that. I mean, I am not
sure that if I'm not on the air, I am
able to focus for more than a minute and a
half at any given moment. I mean, you know, I
like to read. I basically read in ten to fifteen
page segments and then go anything happened all right? I'm back?

(56:14):
So I mean, yeah, these phones have ever ruined our brain?
Do you I used to drew sort of seed work
days as all the time, Like I back in the
old days, I would text or call you at any
time of night and say post this or that. I've
tried to become more respectful of that. Do you do
you think that's a problem. This is a problem.

Speaker 3 (56:35):
My job's different. We're kind of always on the internet.
I'm throwing myself out, But it does seem like people
that have normal desk jobs nine to five, they go
home and their bosses still just seem miswork hour. Before
we had cell phones, you know, they wouldn't call your
home phone unless it was like an emergency. But now
it seems I think common to send a text at
nine thirty, like did you get my email? It's like
could this wait till tomorrow? You know, it used to

(56:57):
be so harder to reach people.

Speaker 1 (56:59):
That's true. I think COVID made it to where the
line between home and work never stopped and it could
go all the time. I know, Billy, we had an
old boss that always acted like you were at work, yes,
and I think that frustrated you.

Speaker 2 (57:15):
It does Drew's right to a degree. In sports, I
feel like we're always online. But like the stats of
twenty percent of employees check work emails on weekends before noon, like,
that's just a a.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
Sy I don't think that's I'm not surprised. I can't
remember the last time I've not checked my email in
a day. A work email so I guess part of
it is we've accepted as normal. But when I was
a lawyer, pre COVID, no, I didn't work. I mean

(57:48):
I resented if anyone called me on Saturday or Sunday. Yeah,
those are your days. Those were my days. And I
guess now I've become so used to that nothing is
my day except when Matt and Myron ins until midnight
on Sunday. I sort of give that to myself as
my day.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
So we raise a generation with a mental health crisis,
and we have a workforce that can never turn itself off.
I mean, are we setting ourselves up for failure?

Speaker 1 (58:13):
Yes? No, I mean this. The world's not going to exist.

Speaker 2 (58:17):
In fifteen, fifteen or fifty.

Speaker 1 (58:22):
I mean, if we were going to draft Kings and
you were to ask me, give me odds on the
world being a positive place in twenty one hundred, Okay,
I wouldn't put great odds on it. I won't say
not existing, but I don't know if it'll be a
positive place. I think we're going to look back, and

(58:45):
we're gonna look back and say the nineteen nineties were
when humanity peaked.

Speaker 2 (58:52):
So what the matrix thinks think about why.

Speaker 1 (58:54):
I think think about why the nineties were. When it
peaked Cold War, it ended there was relative peace in
the world. I mean, it wasn't all peaceful, but it
was relatively peace. They were bad things Rwanda and Kosovo
and they were but in general, probably the most peace
the world has ever seen. We had communication, but it

(59:17):
wasn't controlling our lives. The economies were good. The biggest
scandal was a guy had sex with his intern the president.
Pop culture was the best. That's what we missed. Nineties rap,
nineties country, nineties movies, nineties rock movies. Just think about

(59:42):
nineteen ninety five pul Or, nineteen ninety four pulp Fiction, Shawshank, Redemptions,
Forrest Gump's Quiz Show. Those were all named for Best Picture.
Those were all great movies. TV shows not great, but
still good. Very soon after you get The Wild and
The Sopranos and all that. Well.

Speaker 3 (01:00:01):
The good thing about the shows is there was such
a fewer options. You're all watching them together.

Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
Yes, everybody watch now.

Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
We're watching what you're watching. What you're watching with everyone.
Even if it wasn't the best show, you at least
you're all Jordan.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
Tiger, Bonds and Clements, Kentucky basketball, Patino, like the Braves,
the said bream the Cowboys. They haven't been right since
the Cowboys, the Rangers. In hockey, Wayne Gretzky, Tiger was
just getting started. The Olympics were in Atlanta, and then

(01:00:44):
my argument, this September eleventh happened, and we're on a
steady path to terribleness. Now it's still better than it
was one hundred and fifty years ago, But I don't know.
I think that's my theory. What a dark episode we have.
We're guessing when the world's going to end. Well, okay,

(01:01:04):
would you put odds on the world being better in
twenty one?

Speaker 3 (01:01:06):
Oh no, No, I'm going way under way under so
I will have already destroyed all of us by then.

Speaker 1 (01:01:13):
I think we'll look back and say the peak of
humanity was in the nineteen nineties, specifically nineteen ninety six,
ninety five, ninety six, that's when I graduated high school.
I graduate high school in the world was like, all right,
we're good. The Nintendo sixty four came out.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
I was born ninety five.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
See you missed all you were the downfall. It's all
been downhill since you. All right, what's the neck?

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
All right, one more, I guess depressing topic before we
keep going to the fun stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:01:38):
You better have rainbows and butterflies at the end of
this show, I want to hear children's laughter. Just the
happiest things you can bring in.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
Well, just this week, I think this raised eyes brows
for a few people. Open Ai accepted a two hundred
million dollar contract with the US Department of Defense. Now
the company already has partnerships with multiple federal agencies, including
the NSA.

Speaker 1 (01:01:57):
This is your deep state story. I've been seeing all
your little right wing people that you like, your Tim
Dillons and everybody going crazy. This Polantier or whatever. This
is where they go take all of our information and
is this right?

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
This is just the news man, you know. I'm not
biased in any way, sure I shouldn't, but they will
look to develop AI capabilities for national security applications. So
chat GPT is already something many people use every day,
but now it will be used at a government level.

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
People are worried about it because they're going to basically
compile in theory everything we are into a database. But
I'm of the belief Drew, this doesn't worries me as
much as other people, because I feel like they probably
already do it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:42):
Yeah, this specific one isn't as bad as I just think.
Eventually all of the AI is just going to turn.

Speaker 1 (01:02:48):
On all of this. We're gonna be helpless. So I
said that on the show last weekend. I had a
guy write me and be like, it's not as bad
as you think.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
Who said, Bob and James, it's just to the text machine.

Speaker 1 (01:02:59):
It was this dude. I'm been on the street. His
name's Luke. No, if somebody works in AA and they go,
it'd be hard for it to take us over.

Speaker 3 (01:03:10):
You know who would say that the person working in
AI building it right now? Solid point, Robot controlled drones
will be our downfall. I know that makes me sound
like I have a tinfoil hat on my head.

Speaker 1 (01:03:22):
We do mean robot controlled drones. I mean just a
simple drone could take out a lot of people right now,
and that's what I mean. And then eventually they're already
robot controlled. But I think one day the robots are
gonna be like, you know what, we don't need these
people anymore. So controversial opinion. The only way to really
regulate this stuff is gonna be on a worldwide level,
meaning like the thing that everybody gets. I always think

(01:03:45):
it's funny when people are like, we need more local government.
World government's bad, Like you really think we're gonna be
able to solve the problems on the Paintful City Council,
Like things like AI are gonna have to be a
regulated on a world left because you can't I mean one,
you can't have one allowed and everybody, you're gonna have

(01:04:05):
to have a world We are going to have some
sort of world control on and it's and it's gonna
have to happen and we won't have a choice. The
question is just when is everybody gonna be cool with it?

Speaker 3 (01:04:17):
So the seat that just came open in my district
here in license and that's they're probably not gonna be
able to help.

Speaker 1 (01:04:23):
Yeah, I mean, far be it from me to say this,
but the Fayette County school Board can't decide whether or
not to sell Meadow Brook golf Course. I don't know
that they should be the ones deciding the future of drones.
I'm not saying Donald Trump should, but there's gonna have

(01:04:45):
to be some form of that. Does it worry you? No?

Speaker 2 (01:04:48):
I mean I think it's a little far fetched to think,
like Terminator and Matrix, that it eventually get to that point.
But it is concerning to hear stories like the guys
shared on your show today about like the AI refuse
to shut itself off or AI is talking this way, why.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
Can't we just unplug it?

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
See, I don't know, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:05:07):
Is there an answer to that. I know that sounds
like a really stupid question. But when people say power down,
power up? Yeah, when people say a I won't turn
itself off, I do ultimately control the plug in for now.
So you think there'll be a way that it, like
refuse so sufficient robots maybe. Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
The drone thing is scary, Like any footage you watch
in Ukraine of people hiding from drones. Let's get a
blow up, it's scary.

Speaker 1 (01:05:33):
All war is going to be fought with drones at
some point. Whoever's got the best, Yeah, it is scary.
The Ukraine War is like one of the first wars
that's just all on TV, you know. I mean, if
you look for it, everything is filmed everything. I don't
think people want to watch it. It'll probably be in
your news the next time we do it. But it
is it's out there. It's all out there to be watched.

(01:05:56):
Which you know what's next. Let me do it, Let

(01:06:41):
number nine.

Speaker 2 (01:06:41):
Number nine, okay, and I need I got a little
fair or foul for you guys, right or wrong. And
it has to do with Steven A. Smith caught playing
solitaire during the NBA Finals. Now that's that's fine.

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
We have some breaking news. Karen Reid has been found
not guilty, not guilty on everything except dui. She was
found guilty for dui. So I was right. I said
she's guilty of you. So there you go. That's the
thing about it's the news. Sometimes the news happens while

(01:07:14):
we're on the air drink.

Speaker 3 (01:07:15):
That's the thing about news twenty four to seven, three
sixty five and Billy R. Sports is on top of his.

Speaker 1 (01:07:20):
Sorry about cutting you off, but news interrupted the news.

Speaker 2 (01:07:23):
And I got it completely wrong. I thought she was guilty.

Speaker 1 (01:07:25):
Well well, I mean she may still be that. She
could be the she could be the white lady. OJ
I hope not so okay, all right, go ahead, okay.
So Steven A.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
Smith, we have to talk about him because he was
caught playing solitaire during the NBA Finals. It's a topic
that we've discussed already. And look, people can multitask. I
think that's fine. But for him to lie about it
and say it was during a timeout, and then Internet's
loose to find video of him playing it while the
game is going on, I think has given him. Uh
it really hurt his credibility a little bit. What do

(01:07:56):
you guys think fair or foul?

Speaker 1 (01:07:58):
And Stephen A.

Speaker 2 (01:07:59):
Smith.

Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
I have a lot of problems with the recent change
of steven A. Smith. This is probably towards the bottom
of the problems. I think playing solitaire is a bad
look because solitaire is the most mindless form of entertainment. Right.

Speaker 3 (01:08:14):
Yeah, It's not like he was checking an email or
Instagram scrolling or something you kind of just do out
of habit. I mean, he was committed to a full game.

Speaker 1 (01:08:22):
Salter. Here's Lebi's mean about steven A. Smith. Steven A.
Smith seems to hate basketball. All he does is yell
about how bad people are. He seems to enjoy getting
in beefs with the players. He seems to relish having
the players not like him, like Lebron. He's beefed with

(01:08:47):
Lebron now. John Morant is the latest. He said Memphis
that players didn't want to go to Memphis because it
had crime. Like what is he talking about? Does he
think the Memphis Grizzlies players live where there are people
like gang banging. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:09:06):
He's the suburbs. But he made his career in these
endless contracts. He gets with ESPN by yelling. So I
think he's just decided.

Speaker 1 (01:09:16):
I think he's gone from being entertaining yelling too. He
thinks he is the store, right, he thinks he is
the star, and he almost thinks like like he's up
there going if some for the players wants a piece
of me here, I am like, dude, stop it. Do
you agree with me on this? Oh? I do?

Speaker 3 (01:09:36):
But I think part of the reason he has that
complex now is because of what his value has gotten
up to at ESPN.

Speaker 1 (01:09:42):
He genuinely thinks he is.

Speaker 3 (01:09:44):
Part of the basketball narrative, and he's trying to be
a part of it instead of just reporting on what.

Speaker 1 (01:09:47):
He's seeing no one. But he's trying too hard because
he'll never like, wait till Barkley and Shaq and Kenny
get there. I hope they put him in a locker.
Barkley and Shack and Kenny are fifty times popular, played
the game, yeah, and they're likable, you know. And he
sits there and goes, well, might have to run for president?

(01:10:10):
Who who wants you to be president?

Speaker 3 (01:10:13):
Who would you buy Steven a Smith phone if he
ran for president? Now we're talking, nobody wants to be
in president. Don't Eve want Tom on my TV?

Speaker 1 (01:10:21):
I agree he and Kendrick Perkins. I would trade them
for you know, for I would rather listen to Clay
and Buck. I like that steven A does this, No,
but I'm just using it as a boy.

Speaker 3 (01:10:35):
The walk in st NBA games have been big for
the last few years, all about fashion, the sunglasses. They
all get their walk in photos, but steven A Smith
now puts out his own like walk in videos to
the I know, the media room, the spn production truck.

Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
Well, if you want to illustrate the why stephen A
is wrong is not good. Remember when so stephen A
says the city of Memphis is riddled with crime and
players don't want to play because of that. I do
not believe that. I mean, I believe it has crime.
But you know what, you think Detroit doesn't have crime.
You think Chicago doesn't have crime, in San Francisco doesn't

(01:11:11):
have crime. Like stop. The other thing is I mean
says who like no one has told him that he said.
Players tell me.

Speaker 2 (01:11:23):
That he doubled down on it today. To the point,
this is a quote. It's moving in the right direction,
but it's still recognized as one of the worst cities
in America, to the point where the head of the
FBI has called it the murder capital of this country
per capita. That's on the record, Steven.

Speaker 1 (01:11:40):
Okay, maybe, but that's not what he said. What he
said is I've been in contact with local officials and
players don't want to play there because of it. Bull beep,
stop it. That's never happened. Do you think the Memphis
police have been talking to stephen A. Smith about the

(01:12:01):
local crime? No?

Speaker 3 (01:12:03):
Now, I can believe players have other destinations they'd want
to go than Memphis.

Speaker 1 (01:12:07):
Because not. But it's because it right, It's because sure,
they'd rather be in New York City or LA. He's
just so. So. What I was going to say is
so that's his Memphis be Now, contrast that with Charles
Barkley's San Antonio beef. That was much more fun. The
ladies in San Antonio are big, that's what. And Charles

(01:12:29):
can go to San Antonio and people still.

Speaker 3 (01:12:31):
Like yeah, and only Charles can say that that's been
going for a decade.

Speaker 1 (01:12:35):
Now, that's that joke.

Speaker 3 (01:12:37):
Even San Antonio they act mad, but I think they're
giggling too.

Speaker 1 (01:12:40):
If I'm stephen A. I'd be careful going to Memphis.
I'm serious. I don't think they're happy about it. I
don't blame them.

Speaker 2 (01:12:49):
I mean, that's disrespectful.

Speaker 1 (01:12:50):
It's very disrespectful.

Speaker 2 (01:12:51):
I don't think Zach Randolph had a problem walking down
this street.

Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
And he also said, like Jimmy Butler scared to go there.
Jimmy Butler had to be like, what they bring me
into this? I didn't even play. Jimmy Butter played in Chicago. Yeah,
it's a little scarier than Memphis. You ever been in
South Side Chicago?

Speaker 2 (01:13:07):
Never know?

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:13:08):
Been to Memphis?

Speaker 1 (01:13:10):
Well, anyway, Steve and Ay, what's the last one? All right?

Speaker 2 (01:13:13):
Our final story. It's always a decision between two different ones.
We can talk about the American hero Joey Chestnut, or
we can talk about a new device that records your dreams.

Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
Which one w'ld you like? Dre, I'll let you pick.

Speaker 3 (01:13:24):
I like both of these, but I feel like the
Joey Chestnut Chestnut talk is every summer, so I'm going
to lean towards this device that I don't know anything about.

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
Okay, Well, first, Joey Chestnut is back. He will be
the next July fourth hot dog eating contests.

Speaker 1 (01:13:37):
Was he not? At the last one, he was not.

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
He was barred from competing because of his sponsorship with
Impossible Foods. He went and got a bag, but she
still has. By the way, he's just now signed with
Nathan's for three next three years.

Speaker 1 (01:13:48):
She tried to make a Netflix special that wasn't good.

Speaker 2 (01:13:51):
Oh yeah, he ate eighty something hot dogs against Kobashi
eighty three in ten minutes. But the device I'm talking
about is from a company called Modem. They really just
this week the dream recorder that captures your subconscious and
an ultra low definition. You wake up, you speak your
dream aloud in any language, and you watch it come

(01:14:12):
to life as a dreamscape in the aesthetic of your choice.
This company and others are saying that the industry is
on the cusp of having headsets that can actually read
your brain well zip, But as of now, the best
option is the dream record.

Speaker 1 (01:14:27):
This is not so Basically, it's a tape recorder that
you say, I ended up writing an elephant through school,
and it just shows you a video ins.

Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
A cinematic way. It can it bleeds scenes together, and
then it can also store several different dreams at one time.
So you can revisit older, but.

Speaker 1 (01:14:45):
What part of it is the dream? You're just telling
it what to do.

Speaker 2 (01:14:49):
It creates a picture that mimics what you were dreaming.

Speaker 1 (01:14:53):
But what stops me from going I'm dreaming that a
doctor pepper is being thrown at Drew's head.

Speaker 2 (01:15:01):
Well, then you would say, I guess what cinematic style
you would like to see that at, and then you
would see you or somebody throwing a doctor pepper at
somebody's head.

Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
So this is just an AI video creator. This is nothing.
This is not like it has nothing to do with
your dream. You just say something and it gives you
a vidy. I was excited thinking it literally read my dream.
I didn't have to tell it anything.

Speaker 2 (01:15:20):
They're not there.

Speaker 1 (01:15:21):
They're not there because it's not a thing like, that's
not What you just said is like, we're going to
do something that reads your mind. But in order to
do it, tell us what's on your mind. If I
went to a street artist on the sidewalk, she could
draw my dream if I actually described the entire dream.
This is the worst advent. This is worse than the

(01:15:44):
trump phone because they're claiming it's a dream reader, when
in really it's just a tell us what to make
reader in a fun way. Yes, makes it fun.

Speaker 2 (01:15:57):
Yeah, So go to Modem if you'd like to see
the product.

Speaker 1 (01:16:00):
Are you.

Speaker 3 (01:16:03):
Say hashtag add if this is an endorsement, I here,
I needed this.

Speaker 1 (01:16:08):
I got excited. That's why I picked this. A few
weeks ago.

Speaker 3 (01:16:11):
Every night I had a dream that I was running
from something. I don't know what that means, but I
was excited for Modem to tell me. And now I'm
still just to.

Speaker 1 (01:16:18):
Say, when you're running from something that has a meaning.

Speaker 3 (01:16:22):
It does, it's it's I looked it up said a
lot about stress and trying to get away. So you
all stressing me out trying to make me get away.

Speaker 1 (01:16:30):
I'm chased a lot. I'm usually getting chased, ultimately oftentimes
oddly by a horse. Yeah, mine was.

Speaker 3 (01:16:38):
Never the same scenario. It was like running through a
castle from a you know, zombie. Then it was running.

Speaker 1 (01:16:43):
I don't know what I've ever done to horses, but
I I sometimes I get the I get the horse
one actually quite a bit. Could the horse represent a
dog and you're running from a dog? People? You talking
about getting angry? People very angry at me for saying
I didn't like Bark in the Park and I One
guy wrote that he was like, that's why Matt's not married,
and then insinuating it made me gay that I didn't

(01:17:04):
like horses. I have a dog. No idea what that
would have to do with one sexuality, whether or not
you want dogs next to you bringing up dogs. But
I could if I were gay, I could still say

(01:17:26):
I don't like Bark in the park night they didn't
have Bark in the Park and Pride night the same night.

Speaker 2 (01:17:33):
They play like a doorbell, noise in the place just
goes crazy. I don't know if they did that to
you yesterday, but what they play like a doorbell ring
in the stadium.

Speaker 1 (01:17:41):
Really and then the dogs going crazy? They did it
on purpose?

Speaker 2 (01:17:46):
Yeah they didn't do that.

Speaker 3 (01:17:47):
Yeah, I mean I didn't. I wasn't listening for Matt.
Bark's up to just sex as the door bringing them
in batteries for smoke detection.

Speaker 1 (01:17:54):
Maybe I was as excited as the dogs were bringing
me my battery, but I just didn't realize. I mean,
dog fans they get mad if they don't like dogs,
Like you could say, you know, I'm not a big
fan of an Ardvark and no one gets angry at you.

Speaker 3 (01:18:11):
I have wondered lately if you've gone on attack on
what people like, not necessarily all universal things. But about
a month ago you went at Disney lovers, and I
just thought, oh no, there's gonna be a lot of them.
They're gonna spawn today. Not really going at dog lovers,
but I'm sure the dog lovers didn't love today's show.

Speaker 2 (01:18:27):
Well, he went after preschool graduation.

Speaker 1 (01:18:29):
That was the other one. I knew there was another one,
kids graduations.

Speaker 2 (01:18:32):
You got a lot of response on that one, didn't you.

Speaker 1 (01:18:34):
But see, if you want to be a lot of
people act like I'll say whatever I think, but they'll
just say stuff that's already popular. They'll be like, I'm
a truth tailler, nobody controls me. I like chicken. Everybody
likes chicken. A true tailler says, you know what, I
don't like your baby as much as you do. There's

(01:18:58):
nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong that you like
your baby. But when everybody goes cute, it looks like
a baby. But you did that.

Speaker 3 (01:19:08):
Disney and dogs all very close to each other. Just
seems like you're attacking the American tramily.

Speaker 1 (01:19:13):
That's truth teller. I'm giving opinions that are not popular.
That's right. As part of the news. Well, Billy, you
did a good job with the second news. I would
say a little more negative, but that may be a
sign of our times this week. You know, if the
news is not positive, it's not positive.

Speaker 3 (01:19:32):
Well just think this goes in a big database on
the Matt John Show podcast and someone will eventually listen
back to this and it'll kind of show our history.
We had a fun, happy show. A few weeks later,
pretty dark, pretty negative, little war talk.

Speaker 1 (01:19:44):
We were taking over by yea. Hopefully in a few
weeks we're back to TikTok trens. That's right. Well it
has been the news, Billy, thank you. Next week we
may have our first sitting member of Congress on the show.
Can I make any guesses? Sure, go for it. Do
you think it is uh, Nancy Pelosi? It's not. Also,

(01:20:06):
I don't think she's a city really just wanted to
come on and talk to Billy about her stocks. You
seemed to be upset about that.

Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
There are accounts that follow her stocks if it's the
Pelosi track, But.

Speaker 1 (01:20:18):
Do you think that, like, do you think that's some
I mean, it leads to people buying more like it's
a self fulfilling prophecy. Yeah, possibly, because if in theory,
if thousands of people follow the Nancy Pelosi stocks, they
see she's done something, they all do it, and then
then by inevitably, it goes up because all these people
are trying to buy.

Speaker 2 (01:20:39):
But I think this was reactionary. I mean, her net
worth is skyrocketed since she took office, So I mean, yeah,
didn't all happen.

Speaker 1 (01:20:46):
Listen, I'm don't make me take up for Nancy Pelosi.
I mean, I I think I've always been on record
they should all be banned from buying stocks, and with
that see next week.
