Michael Brown joins me. There's the former famous director of
Huck Show host Michael Brown.
Speaker 2 (00:04):

the situation with Michael Brown.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
You're a political express on six point.

Thirty K how Denver's talk stations.
Speaker 4 (00:21):

Speaker 4 (00:50):
Bad got Cake's runner than everywhere, got some book gil
on the sign.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
My mom was trying to hide the middle of n
behind the game. It's so f.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
No, it's feah you.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Know when you want to get away. I mean one
thing about it.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Friday.
Speaker 6 (01:35):
I don't know why I heard the top of the
hour news that Pat Woodend was giving about the uh
now the National Western the Coliseum opening as a shelter.
But the thing that Pat left out that a friend
of mine sent me yesterday is they're going to allow pets.
So of course that immediately reminded me of the two
(01:57):
women that have since disappeared on me. But you know,
one of the reasons they kept objecting to my request
that in exchange for me helping them, that they go
see someone.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And I gave them a.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Phone number and a personal cell phone number of someone
to call and talk to. They didn't want to do
that because they had a pet. You know, they had
this little dog, this little black oh little mini we
need dog or some sort that they didn't want to
go to. They didn't want to go to any of
the organizations because nobody accepts pets. Well, here they are
(02:31):
here here the opening the Colisseum, and they're going to
allow people to bring their pets. So if you see
those women around somewhere, let them know that, hey, you
can do pets. I don't know sometimes why why I
do show prep because then and you know, I generally
don't listen to the ABC News because I know it's
(02:52):
going to be a bunch of bull.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
But I found this interesting. So ABC runs.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
A teaser this morning about egg prices and here's let's see.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
Here's the teas a plan is hatched to help consumers
scrambling to find eggs. I'm Jim Ryan, ABC News. The
story is coming up.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Okay, and what is the story?
Speaker 7 (03:16):
Renting chickens has actually been a thing for years, but
only now is gaining traction.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Uh, Jesse, have you ever rented a chicken in your life?
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Now, I know you've probably rented a lot of things
you don't want to tell us about, but have you
ever rented a chicken?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Not just yet? Not just yet, So you're gonna.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Catchers and pictures are already in Scottsdale, but you're here
because you'd rather be.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Doing this program with me.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
Correct at you know, six oh seven in the eight
in the morning, when it's at least today it's thirty
degrees outside, and in Scottsdale, I'm guessing it's probably this morning.
You know, it's they've been a little cool lately, so
it may be like, you know, sixty or sixty five degrees.
So I'm sure my daughter's got the fireplace going and
they got the heater going.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Because they're freezing their asses off.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
But you could, you know, still be in bed right now,
and you could you know, now, I don't know about
rental properties in Scottsdale, whether they're loud it or not,
but you instead of walking to the Egg and I
and having breakfast like you probably do on mornings, you
could just go out back and pick up a couple
of eggs and get your own eggs right.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
There from my rent to chickens, from your.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Rent of chickens in your rent a condo while you're
there on spring training.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Can be great.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
And because they actually my guess is that either the
Rockies or iHeart would pay you, you know, instead of
per diem.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
You know what, I think I should look into that.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
If I put a rent a chicken on my expense report,
do you think it'll get approved?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Well, there's a.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Hell hang on, there's a part of me when I
think about how bureaucratic this company.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Is, it might slip through.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
That's a good chance. Yeah, there's a good chance. I'll
just have to hide it.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Well, I'm not even sure.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
It may just be Oh, there's there's Jesse, it's Rockies.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
You know what, what do we care? Rent a chicken?
Who knows what that means?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
What an interesting business? Rent a chicken?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Rent rent a chicken?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, rent a chicken.
Speaker 7 (05:07):
Our two hen package starts at four ninety for the
whole rental period for that four hundred and ninety dollars,
says gen Toime.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Now, I don't know, but four hundred and ninety dollars
even with increased egg prices. Now, from what I understand, Well,
let me just finish the story.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
Pumpkins of rent the chicken in Freeport, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
We'll bring the coop, your hens that you're getting, either
two or four, will bring the feed.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
And for the next six months you'll know exactly where
your eggs are coming from. Similar businesses are operating across
the country. Jim Ryan eight James.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
So you do get a coop, you get some feed,
and you get some chickens. Now you have to make
sure you know that you can have chickens in your community.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
But four ninety.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
If I do that times too, that's eight hundred, that's
nine hundred. That's almost one thousand dollars a year, So
not quite one hundred dollars a month. Do you are
people really spending one hundred dollars a month on chickens,
I mean on eggs?
Speaker 7 (06:06):
Uh? Long before egg prices started to soar, farmer Joe DiFrancesco.
Of Northford, Connecticut had a thriving chicken rental business, and
now it's.
Speaker 8 (06:14):
Actually pretty popular because everyone wants to know where their
eggs are going to come from.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
The egg I've never ever, in my entire life wondered
where my eggs came from, not once, not one single time,
I've ever wondered that. I've always known that my eggs
came from a chicken.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Now I don't know.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Maybe if I'm in Zimbabwe, or maybe if I'm in
Australia or I'm some other country, I may wonder did
this come from a chicken or did it come from
a like a mongoose or something. I don't know, but
I've never, in the at least domestically, ever wondered where
my eggs came from.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
But egg price over the six month rental period is
still about ten dollars per dozen. But Jen Tompkins, have
rent the chicken in Freeport, Pennsylvania, says that once their
initial investment is made and it's just like the maintenance
of having chickens, the price drops to around a dollar
a dozen. Gimroy in ABC News, But this is.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
A little upfront capital costs. And does the rental agreement
include that you have to provide certain like does the
coop come with a heater? Does the coop come with
any sort of warranty? Do you have to maintain the
coop yourself?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Do you have to ensure the chickens.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
Right if if, if, if the chickens die? Are you
now going to be stuck in a lawsuit and have
to call Dan Kaplis because you know they're going to
allege that you killed the chicken and so you're liable
for the cost of the chicken.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I want to see the rental agreement.
Speaker 8 (07:41):
One day a chicken renter, the next chicken killer exactly
there you exactly?
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Or what if the chickens go crazy and they and
they attack your children? Where's the liability? There?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Another strong point and I and I'm.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Just thinking, do I really want to well, let me,
let me, let me just pretend I'm my lovely Happy
Valentine's Day to my lovely wife. You know, needed one
of us like Valentine's Day. Do you know that I've
gotten Valentine's Day's wishes already? Yeah? Huh yeah, hey hole
(08:12):
back there, walked in and said happy Valentine's Day, Michael,
and I thought, yeah, let.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Me be the first. He said, gave you a candy heart?
Will you be mine? And everything? Yeah, you know, give
the spirit of things, Michael.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
I don't see the candy heart. And he said I
wanted to be the first, And I said, good. I
hope you're the last year, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Chickens.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
I sometimes I look, God bless those people that are
rinting chickens.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I don't mean the people who. I don't mean the
less ease of the chickens.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
I mean the less ores, the ones who you know,
providing the coops and the chicken. They found a way
because God bless America. You can make money anyway.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
You know.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
All it takes is a little ingenuity and just thinking
outside the box about a way to make money. And
you can do it in this country. You can do
it in this country by renting a chicken. But I
can't give you legal advice, but I would just highly
recommend that if you decide to rent a chicken, you
(09:13):
read the fine print closely, really and then just think
about you know, so yesterday, Yeah, I'm gonna tell a story.
Remember yesterday I said something, and I said I expect
to get a text message from an individual complaining about
the fact that I crossed the picket line to go
(09:34):
into King Soupers. Well, yesterday I'm running to pick up
dry cleaning and my lovely wife realizes she doesn't have
chicken broth. So because she's making some tay curry soup,
which by God is so freaking good. Oh my god,
she makes this wonderful red curry t tay souper. But
she calls and says, can you stop because the cleaners
(09:55):
is close to the Safeway, can you stop and just
run in and grab a couple a couple of things
of the low sodium has to be low sodium, low
sodium chicken broth. So I pick up my dry cleaning
a drive across the street and I think, well, I
can't say the word, but I think, holy s word,
(10:16):
this parking lot is jammed. I mean, I'm gonna get
my full, you know, two miles in parking to walk
into the Safeway. And I walk into the Safeway and
I instantly, you know when you make these kind of
instant decisions. I make an instant decision that I am
not buying chicken broth at Safeway. And I swirl around
and I walk out. You know why, because everybody that's
(10:40):
refusing to cross the picket line at King Soupers has
gone the Safeway. And the self checkout line was and
I'm not exaggerating.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
If you walked into.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
Most grocery stores, you know there's a when you walk
in kind of over there to your left, is a
self checkout lines and then the regular checkout lines. And
I walk through this group of people on the line,
and I realized, Holy cal they're waiting for the checkout line.
I looked to my left, and I looked down, and
I can see that not only is the self checkout
line going from my left all the way to my right,
(11:12):
all the way down to wherever their little flower group.
And I mean, it's just like it's there must have
been fifty people in the check in the self checkout line.
And then I look down tow where the regular checkout
lines are, and every one of those they're all lined
up at least four or five deep. And I'm thinking,
I want to get one thing of chicken broth, and
it's going to take me an hour. I ain't doing it.
(11:33):
So I swirled back and I went to King Soupers,
and I walked in and I walked out, and for
the first time, I didn't feel guilty, but I felt
like I was getting guilted. There were two groups of strikers,
(11:54):
one kind of over where the cars park and then
one right in front of the door, which I'm kind
of surprised that their labor agreement allows them to strike
right where you're trying to get your cart and go
in the door. But one woman, I was trying not
to make eye contact, but I could see one woman.
(12:14):
My peripheral vision was just watching every step I made.
So I finally made eye contact with her because I thought, Okay,
let's just see. What are you going to do? What
are you going to say to me? So I just
looked at her and she said hello, and I said hi,
and she said, hope you're having an ice day and
I said, I hope you are too. And then it
came and how came the flyer? Can I hand you
(12:38):
a piece of paper? No, ma'am, you may not, and
we not in And it literally took me, I bet
less than two minutes to walk in, grab that that
chicken broth, go through the self check out line, pay
my dollar thirty nine or whatever it was, and walk out.
(12:58):
And I thought, I'm not going to inconvenience myself and
wait in line to buy. I mean it would I'm
not exaggerating. It would have taken me a minimum of
thirty minutes, probably closer to an hour to check out
at the Safeway on Highlands Ranch Parkway versus literally driving
all the way back to the King Supers that's close
(13:20):
to my house, and walking in and out all of
that probably took less time that would have taken me
to sit inside the safeway. So, with all due respect
to the strikers, my convenience is more important than your strike.
I'm not going to wait an hour to buy one thing,
and you're not going to guilt me by trying to
(13:42):
hand me a piece of paper that Quite frankly, I've
heard all the stories about you know, low wages and
poor working conditions and how badly you're treated, and blah
blah blah blah. Well, welcome to the real world, and
that's just the way it is. Then, I don't know
why I do show prep and this morning I walk
in and I have an email. Hello Michael, longtime listener here.
(14:06):
Please keep my name confidential from your broadcast if you
share anything from this email. Okay, I'm going to do that,
but as a lead in to a story about why
the stupid Democrats are seemed to be opposed to, you know,
rooting out waste, fraud and abuse. Listen to this email
now the listener has signed it. Uh. In fact, I
(14:31):
know he's a long time listener because he has he's
typed it on his iPad, and he's got his name,
he has his phone number, which I can reverse look
up and confirm it really is him, and he's put
in his Cooper number, So I know that he's a
long time listener. But listen to this long time listener here.
(14:52):
Please keep it anymore. I'm trying to be cautious, cautious
of others here, he writes. I am floored by the
bla in disregard for the American people and the waste
of our nation's resources. I work for a major insurance provider,
well known nationally and very popular among various government institutions.
(15:13):
I think I could probably guess who it is. My
area of expertise is commercial insurance for entrepreneurs and new startups.
I've been in this field a long time, he writes,
and I feel fortunate to be in a position that
reads the pulse of small business in America. I take
(15:34):
thousands of calls a year from people needing some former
business insurance. I'm sorry to say the quality of our
entrepreneurial spirit is degrading to some degree. One of my
callers today set the bar even lower. Immediately on the
call landing. I could tell this person had difficulty keeping
(15:55):
attention on topic. Sounds like me always got it chased
and squirrels.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Quote.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
Damn that elon close quote was this person's opening line
after I delivered my greeting.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Now think about that, Jesse.
Speaker 6 (16:14):
Uh, good morning, this is blankly blank insurance company.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
How may I help you? Damn that elon?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
What?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Hello?
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Uh? This isn't Democrat National Headquarters. Uh? You want me
to look that number up for you? You might have the
wrong number. Damn that Elon was this person's opening line
after I'd delivered my greeting. Inaudible mumbling followed afterwards. Got
I had people that just mumbled on mumbled.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Trump coming back caused this.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
Damn that Elon close quote, this person repeated again for
the next thirty minutes. I talked to this person. I
kept trying to get him to understand that I need
him to raise the volume of his voice. He was whispering.
I'm in my office and others are waiting outside my door.
I don't want them to hear was his response. Then
(17:13):
go somewhere else, you know, Go home and make your
phone call, Go to your car, use your cell phone.
I mean, come on, he went on to the listener continues.
He went on to seek my guidance of how to
start a business and wanted to know where he should start.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
I didn't know what.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
You could call somebody and say, hey, I just want
to start a business. Where do I start? Somebody gave
me that phone number, or maybe I should call this
listener and just say, hey, you know, I want to
start a business. Where do I start?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Now?
Speaker 6 (17:48):
Listen closely. For the next thirty minutes I talked to
this person. I kept trying to get him to understand
I needed him to raise the volume of his He
was whispering in my office, and others are waiting outside
my door.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I don't want them to hear me, was his response.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
He went on to seek my guidance of how to
start a business and wanted to know where he should start.
He was all over the place with ideas and had
no clue what he could do. I asked him, what
do you do professionally now? He said, simply, and I quote,
I work in a facility affected by Elon and I'm
(18:27):
being shoved out. I want something without actual responsibility like
I had here.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I should you know?
Speaker 6 (18:41):
I before I finished the rest of the email, if
you can call this goober and say, hey, I'd like
a job where I get paid like kind of what
I'm getting paid now, but I have no responsibilities, and
so I want something like I'm doing right now where
I don't have any responsibilities but I get paid. Well
to do you find that for me? And if that
(19:01):
guy can find me this job? Uh, Jesse, it was
kind of like your job.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Sign me up.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
It's kind of the job you have now a little
bit no responsibilities.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
All you got to do is just make sure that
you know, hey, they stay on air when the game's playing,
and then you don't care.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Yeah, and even that's fifty to fifty, well exactly.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
And half the time they Jack and Jay don't know
whether they're on the air or not, so they just
keep talking. And you're just back there scrambling around because
you had to. You tripped over something and unplugged some
wires somewhere because you weren't paying attention to.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
What you were doing.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I'm making dinner reservations.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
It's exactly right.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
You're already thinking about dinner, and you're also looking at
the clock, going come on, guys, come on, let's wrap
this up. Come on, it's the ninth inning. Let's wrap
this up. Hey, I have a question before I get
back to this email. So after a game's finished, after
the light last strike game's over, how long is it
before you actually physically get out of a stadium?
Speaker 8 (19:56):
Well, so we do four segments, but it's only about
twenty twenty five minutes. And then depending on if it's
a getaway day or not. If it's not a getaway day,
we turn everything off. I hide my computers and lock
everything up. And then where and we're back to the hotel.
Yeah yeah, usually within the hour. Yeah, yep.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Now do you have a rental car in every suit.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Some places, not every city?
Speaker 8 (20:16):
Okay, if we arrange for him, we can get him,
but I usually just uber it and then we take
the team buses.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah, yeah, it's easier that way.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
And then do you go to dinner by yourself or
what do you do?
Speaker 8 (20:26):
Me and Jerry kind of stick together a lot, but
I quite often have a second dinner by myself, very often.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Of course you do.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
Okay, now wait wait until come back, because let's get
to the punchline of this email I got this morning
from the caller who wants a job where he has
no actual responsibilities like he has now, but still gets paid.
That might be a copyright violation of some sort. So
don't tell anybody.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I love this one. See this is why this audience has.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
I feel like I've done a fairly good job, you know,
as a lawyer, kind of teaching you guys to think
critically and also to think about all the legal ramifications.
Because Gouber number zero three hundred rites Mike or Michael,
which is a smart ass thing to do in itself.
Right there, Mike or Michael, is there a caveat in
the rental contract that prevents one from choking your chickens?
(21:25):
Ask Gouber number zero three hundred.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
That's pretty good, I think.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
You know, I have to admit I had not thought
about that, you know, I just but now that I'm
thinking about it, that's all I can think about. And
of course nine zero six zero what about the vet bills?
And then, of course to the talkback, we've got thirty
six oh two that says Michael, predators, predators, we have
foxes and raccoons. And then thirty six oh two also
(21:50):
points out that Michael, three chickens don't give three eggs
a day in the winter, we are lucky if we
get five eggs a week and we have three chickens. Well,
you don't have very productive chickens, you know. I have
no idea what the production level of a chicken is,
or how you would increase it or decrease it or
control it or whatever.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Yeah, what if you rent a dud? Is there.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Exactly?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (22:15):
And then you have all you have the all the
embedded costs of the all the upfront capital costs of
of you know, any entering into the Lisa agreement, having
me as your lawyer review the Lise agreement, which is
going to cost you a couple of thousand dollars, and
then you have and by the way, do you pay
monthly or do you pay at six months at a time?
What are the terms of the agreement? And then what
happens if the chicken does die?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I mean what?
Speaker 6 (22:36):
There are all sorts of questions about this ninety seven
ninety eight, writes Michael. We had a painter who brought
us fresh eggs, and my mom always used to say
eggs fresh from the chickens.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Butts uh, I don't think they come from the butt.
But you know, I may be wrong about that.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
It's just one of those things that I've never really
said and pondered, like where does the chicken come from?
I have one which comes first to chicken or the egg.
Back to the email, because this this email, Flaber guests me.
That's a very technical legal term. Flabber guests me, so
to kind of reset it. I get this email from
(23:18):
a from one of you, a goober who works in
the insurance industry, a well known company, and his particular
expertise is helping entrepreneurs and new business owners and startups
with their insurance needs and also apparently provides some sort
of advice about, you know, how to gets your startup
(23:39):
or your business.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Up and going.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
And a person calls and their first words after he
gives his greeting, you know, good morning, you've reached you know.
My name's Michael Brown. I'm with iHeartMedia Consulting for startups business.
How may I help you today? And the response is,
damn that Elon Trump coming back caused this.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Damn that Elon.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
And for the next thirty minutes as he talks to
this person, he kept trying to get him to raise
his voice so he could hear him and understand him.
He's whispering. He finally says, well, I have to whisper
because I'm in my office and there are people waiting
outside and I don't want them to hear me. And
then we get to the crux. He wanted to guidance
(24:19):
on how to start a business and wanted to know
where he should start. He was all over the place
with ideas and he had no clue what he could do.
I asked him, the goober writes what he does professionally. Now,
see that would be a great question to ask you
when he starts your own business. Well, let's talk about
what you're doing now, let's talk about your skill set.
(24:40):
Let's talk about what you'd like to do. What do
you enjoy now, maybe some hobbies. You can turn a
hobby into a business. Any number of things that you
might ask. And his reply was simply quote, I worked
in a facility affected.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
By Elon and I'm being shoved out.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
I want something without any actual responsibility like I had here.
I think you're right where you belong. Yeah, working for
the government, yep. Michael my Collor went on to tell
me he worked his way into a supervisory.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Position in the government with.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
People who reported to him, and he effectively had no skills.
I've listened to your radio program a long time, and
I'm sure you've seen something similar up close while you
served our country. Even if no one admitted as much
to you openly, I'm sure you've observed it directly. I
was unable to help him other than my tax dollars
(25:41):
collected over the long career. He spent fleecing my salary. Naturally,
I didn't express this thought to him, but inside I
was disgusted and happy he's getting the pink slip. I
just wish he wouldn't get that parachute support. Those in
the private sector don't get when they experienced similar job
law hardships. They are getting somewhat of a parachute. You're
(26:05):
working from home today, or we found that your job
is unnecessary, and we're going to pay you through the
end of the fiscal year, through the end of September
or September twenty five, whatever date they've put on it,
and so just stay home, go away. We'll continue to
send you your checks, but after the end of the
fiscal year, boom, you're out of here. Yeah, I'd say
that's pretty dan good. But have I seen that? Oh,
(26:30):
my gosh, have I seen that? So my friend Joe
Peggs called last night and wanted me to go on
this program. So I went on to talk to Pegs
for a while. It was good to see PAGs. Haven't
talked to him in a while, and he was asking
me some of these things about, you know, FEMA that's
(26:50):
going on, whether FEMA could actually be dissolved or not,
and we have a conversation about that. But I had
also told him about this contract that we discussed yesterday
about spending five hundred two twenty four million dollars to
build for one component of DHS, one single component, the
headquarters on the property of the old Saint Elizabeth's Hospital
(27:10):
just outside DC, across the Anacostia River. And Pad was
blown away by it, couldn't believe it. I'm like, well,
you know what your listeners can go to. I've put
a link up to the GSA contract on my ex
feed and you go read the contract yourself.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
It's there.
Speaker 6 (27:27):
But Pad reminded me of something when I totally it
was the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Administration SIZA.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
He said, ah, well, waymen.
Speaker 6 (27:34):
Isn't that the same group that had the disinformation board
where they were going to, you know, go out and
seek out disinformation and then try to you know, counter
that with propaganda. I said, oh yeah, I forgot about that.
That is exactly the same group. I think what we're
witnessing is two points that I want to focus on.
(27:55):
One is someone has gotten elected that is actually doing
what they said they were going to do. They're trying
to clean up waste fraud and abuse. But even more
so than that, I think almost as Look, I think
waste fraud in abuse is something they do need to
clean up, but there are two other things that they're
focusing on that we may not see the benefits of immediately,
(28:22):
but we will over the long haul. And that's to
deregulate this society. This society is so highly regulated. You know,
for example, this duber that sent me to email, he's
working in insurance industry, a highly regulated business. This company
I work for a highly regulated industry. Probably the company
(28:44):
you work for is a highly regulated industry. But even
if it's not, and let's say you're not the owner.
If you're not the owner, I would strongly encourage you
at some point to go find your owner, find your supervisor,
whatever you're you know, preferably the owner, the CEO, or whomever,
(29:07):
and have a conversation. Maybe work in a company that's
large enough that you have, like we have here, not here,
but in the corporate headquarters, a compliance officer, someone whose
job is to just make sure that every ethan thing
that that company does is in compliance with all of
(29:28):
the regulations that affect that business. And you understand that
what we've done is we have criminalized not well, some
some regulations do come now with criminal penalties where you
are actually committing a crime by failing to follow, or
(29:50):
ignoring or not one hundred percent in compliance with a
rule or regulation. And as I've said a bazillion times,
and and I'd like to hear from someone who's actually
taken me up on this, because most of you haven't
done it. And I understand you're busy and you've got
other things to do. But wherever you're listening to me,
(30:13):
if there's a law school, a college or university, probably
a public library like the Denver Public Library, I would
guess doesn't have this. I may be wrong, but it
may not. But I really do want you to walk
in to a law school library or a college or
university library, ask the first person you see the first library,
(30:34):
and hey, please show me where the Code of Federal
Regulations are, and they'll tell you. You know, it's on
the third floor, you know, aisle whatever, and they'll send
you up there.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
And I want you to just behold the rose and
rose and.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
Rose of regulations and then tell me that because even
as a lawyer. Now obviously I'm not practicing right now,
but even when I was practicing, I couldn't tell you
everything in there. I'd have to go look it up.
So if I had a client that came to me
and said, hey, listen, I've just got this notice from
some regulatory agency that we're in non compliance with this regulation,
(31:14):
the very first thing I would do is go look
up that regulation. Now I can do it electronically. Now
lexis Nexus, I can go on and find electronically. But
back in the old days, when I was a baby lawyer,
I'd actually have to go to my own law firm's
library and pull out the CFR and go look it up.
But that's only the beginning. Just reading the regulation doesn't
(31:36):
tell me what I need to know. I need to
know also, what other case law is there that interprets
that regulation. Now imagine that you're a small business and
you're trying to comply with all these regulations. It's absolutely absurd.
So that's the other thing that does is doing is
trying to deregulate our society and make it more the
(31:57):
government run more efficient and effectively. That will have a
huge consequence on us, which leads me to the question
why are the Democrats opposed to this? Here's the problem.
I need you to send me a text message thirty
three one zero three. Obviously you know the number because
I don't speak chicken. I never took chicken in high school,
(32:20):
so I don't speak much.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
You know.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
I know about cockta doodle do, and that's about it.
And I did take I took one course on choking chickens,
but other than that, I really never did understand much
about chickens. So if you could tell me what your
chicken said, that would be very helpful. I'm sure it's
complimentary to the program. So we got we have the
listener who takes a phone call yesterday from someone who
(32:46):
is looking to because they're getting shoved out of their job,
all because of Elon and now they're looking for a
job where they can also get paid and have no responsibilities.
You know, I you know who you are, if you're
listening this morning, would you just put me on your
(33:07):
list and send me some ideas of things that I
could do that I could still get paid what I
get paid today and not have to come in and
look at Jesse or Dragon or for that matter, all
the yah who's out there, or deal with you know,
any management and still get paid. Could you would you
let me know that, cause I'm just kind of at
(33:28):
the stage of my life where that's that sounds kind
of nice. Well, actually, at any stage life, that sounds
kind of nice. That sounds kind of like the entire
Democrat Party.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Doesn't it. Who claims that Trump.
Speaker 6 (33:40):
Is creating a constitutional crisis by doing something just like
eliminating the usa i D, the United States Agency for
International Development. You know Bobby Kennedy Junior yesterday who by
the way, was confirmed as next Secretary of Health and
Utian Service. We're going to talk about that, because that's
one more disruptor that's that's now entered the government. Talked
(34:02):
about how his uncle started it as a humanitarian project,
and how it's just become this fraudulent organization. So even
Bobby Kennedy Junior recognizes it, and of course you know Trump.
By the way, can you imagine yesterday Doge walked into
the headquarters of the Internal Revenue Service. Noah, you talked
(34:26):
about an organization who's I mean their computer equipment not
quite as bad as Air Traffic Control ATC I think
still has older and more outdated electronic IT services than
does the IRS. But can you imagine the inefficiencies, Which
is fine with me. The more inefficient the IRS is
(34:48):
the
Michael Brown joins me. There's the former famous director of
Huck Show host Michael Brown.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Brownie, No, Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job
the situation with Michael Brown.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
You're a political express on six point.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Thirty K how Denver's talk stations.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
So fine, dame, No till name, dude, It's all fine day,
No till name.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Because some drinking up my.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Bad got Cake's runner than everywhere, got some book gil
on the sign.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
My mom was trying to hide the middle of n
behind the game. It's so f.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
No, it's feah you.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Know when you want to get away. I mean one
thing about it.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Friday.
Speaker 6 (01:35):
I don't know why I heard the top of the
hour news that Pat Woodend was giving about the uh
now the National Western the Coliseum opening as a shelter.
But the thing that Pat left out that a friend
of mine sent me yesterday is they're going to allow pets.
So of course that immediately reminded me of the two
(01:57):
women that have since disappeared on me. But you know,
one of the reasons they kept objecting to my request
that in exchange for me helping them, that they go
see someone.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And I gave them a.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Phone number and a personal cell phone number of someone
to call and talk to. They didn't want to do
that because they had a pet. You know, they had
this little dog, this little black oh little mini we
need dog or some sort that they didn't want to
go to. They didn't want to go to any of
the organizations because nobody accepts pets. Well, here they are
(02:31):
here here the opening the Colisseum, and they're going to
allow people to bring their pets. So if you see
those women around somewhere, let them know that, hey, you
can do pets. I don't know sometimes why why I
do show prep because then and you know, I generally
don't listen to the ABC News because I know it's
(02:52):
going to be a bunch of bull.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
But I found this interesting. So ABC runs.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
A teaser this morning about egg prices and here's let's see.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
Here's the teas a plan is hatched to help consumers
scrambling to find eggs. I'm Jim Ryan, ABC News. The
story is coming up.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Okay, and what is the story?
Speaker 7 (03:16):
Renting chickens has actually been a thing for years, but
only now is gaining traction.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Uh, Jesse, have you ever rented a chicken in your life?
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Now, I know you've probably rented a lot of things
you don't want to tell us about, but have you
ever rented a chicken?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Not just yet? Not just yet, So you're gonna.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Catchers and pictures are already in Scottsdale, but you're here
because you'd rather be.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Doing this program with me.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
Correct at you know, six oh seven in the eight
in the morning, when it's at least today it's thirty
degrees outside, and in Scottsdale, I'm guessing it's probably this morning.
You know, it's they've been a little cool lately, so
it may be like, you know, sixty or sixty five degrees.
So I'm sure my daughter's got the fireplace going and
they got the heater going.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Because they're freezing their asses off.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
But you could, you know, still be in bed right now,
and you could you know, now, I don't know about
rental properties in Scottsdale, whether they're loud it or not,
but you instead of walking to the Egg and I
and having breakfast like you probably do on mornings, you
could just go out back and pick up a couple
of eggs and get your own eggs right.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
There from my rent to chickens, from your.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Rent of chickens in your rent a condo while you're
there on spring training.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Can be great.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
And because they actually my guess is that either the
Rockies or iHeart would pay you, you know, instead of
per diem.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
You know what, I think I should look into that.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
If I put a rent a chicken on my expense report,
do you think it'll get approved?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Well, there's a.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Hell hang on, there's a part of me when I
think about how bureaucratic this company.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Is, it might slip through.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
That's a good chance. Yeah, there's a good chance. I'll
just have to hide it.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Well, I'm not even sure.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
It may just be Oh, there's there's Jesse, it's Rockies.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
You know what, what do we care? Rent a chicken?
Who knows what that means?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
What an interesting business? Rent a chicken?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Rent rent a chicken?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, rent a chicken.
Speaker 7 (05:07):
Our two hen package starts at four ninety for the
whole rental period for that four hundred and ninety dollars,
says gen Toime.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Now, I don't know, but four hundred and ninety dollars
even with increased egg prices. Now, from what I understand, Well,
let me just finish the story.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
Pumpkins of rent the chicken in Freeport, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
We'll bring the coop, your hens that you're getting, either
two or four, will bring the feed.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
And for the next six months you'll know exactly where
your eggs are coming from. Similar businesses are operating across
the country. Jim Ryan eight James.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
So you do get a coop, you get some feed,
and you get some chickens. Now you have to make
sure you know that you can have chickens in your community.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
But four ninety.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
If I do that times too, that's eight hundred, that's
nine hundred. That's almost one thousand dollars a year, So
not quite one hundred dollars a month. Do you are
people really spending one hundred dollars a month on chickens,
I mean on eggs?
Speaker 7 (06:06):
Uh? Long before egg prices started to soar, farmer Joe DiFrancesco.
Of Northford, Connecticut had a thriving chicken rental business, and
now it's.
Speaker 8 (06:14):
Actually pretty popular because everyone wants to know where their
eggs are going to come from.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
The egg I've never ever, in my entire life wondered
where my eggs came from, not once, not one single time,
I've ever wondered that. I've always known that my eggs
came from a chicken.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Now I don't know.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Maybe if I'm in Zimbabwe, or maybe if I'm in
Australia or I'm some other country, I may wonder did
this come from a chicken or did it come from
a like a mongoose or something. I don't know, but
I've never, in the at least domestically, ever wondered where
my eggs came from.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
But egg price over the six month rental period is
still about ten dollars per dozen. But Jen Tompkins, have
rent the chicken in Freeport, Pennsylvania, says that once their
initial investment is made and it's just like the maintenance
of having chickens, the price drops to around a dollar
a dozen. Gimroy in ABC News, But this is.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
A little upfront capital costs. And does the rental agreement
include that you have to provide certain like does the
coop come with a heater? Does the coop come with
any sort of warranty? Do you have to maintain the
coop yourself?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Do you have to ensure the chickens.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
Right if if, if, if the chickens die? Are you
now going to be stuck in a lawsuit and have
to call Dan Kaplis because you know they're going to
allege that you killed the chicken and so you're liable
for the cost of the chicken.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I want to see the rental agreement.
Speaker 8 (07:41):
One day a chicken renter, the next chicken killer exactly
there you exactly?
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Or what if the chickens go crazy and they and
they attack your children? Where's the liability? There?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Another strong point and I and I'm.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Just thinking, do I really want to well, let me,
let me, let me just pretend I'm my lovely Happy
Valentine's Day to my lovely wife. You know, needed one
of us like Valentine's Day. Do you know that I've
gotten Valentine's Day's wishes already? Yeah? Huh yeah, hey hole
(08:12):
back there, walked in and said happy Valentine's Day, Michael,
and I thought, yeah, let.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Me be the first. He said, gave you a candy heart?
Will you be mine? And everything? Yeah, you know, give
the spirit of things, Michael.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
I don't see the candy heart. And he said I
wanted to be the first, And I said, good. I
hope you're the last year, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Chickens.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
I sometimes I look, God bless those people that are
rinting chickens.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I don't mean the people who. I don't mean the
less ease of the chickens.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
I mean the less ores, the ones who you know,
providing the coops and the chicken. They found a way
because God bless America. You can make money anyway.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
You know.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
All it takes is a little ingenuity and just thinking
outside the box about a way to make money. And
you can do it in this country. You can do
it in this country by renting a chicken. But I
can't give you legal advice, but I would just highly
recommend that if you decide to rent a chicken, you
(09:13):
read the fine print closely, really and then just think
about you know, so yesterday, Yeah, I'm gonna tell a story.
Remember yesterday I said something, and I said I expect
to get a text message from an individual complaining about
the fact that I crossed the picket line to go
(09:34):
into King Soupers. Well, yesterday I'm running to pick up
dry cleaning and my lovely wife realizes she doesn't have
chicken broth. So because she's making some tay curry soup,
which by God is so freaking good. Oh my god,
she makes this wonderful red curry t tay souper. But
she calls and says, can you stop because the cleaners
(09:55):
is close to the Safeway, can you stop and just
run in and grab a couple a couple of things
of the low sodium has to be low sodium, low
sodium chicken broth. So I pick up my dry cleaning
a drive across the street and I think, well, I
can't say the word, but I think, holy s word,
(10:16):
this parking lot is jammed. I mean, I'm gonna get
my full, you know, two miles in parking to walk
into the Safeway. And I walk into the Safeway and
I instantly, you know when you make these kind of
instant decisions. I make an instant decision that I am
not buying chicken broth at Safeway. And I swirl around
and I walk out. You know why, because everybody that's
(10:40):
refusing to cross the picket line at King Soupers has
gone the Safeway. And the self checkout line was and
I'm not exaggerating.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
If you walked into.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
Most grocery stores, you know there's a when you walk
in kind of over there to your left, is a
self checkout lines and then the regular checkout lines. And
I walk through this group of people on the line,
and I realized, Holy cal they're waiting for the checkout line.
I looked to my left, and I looked down, and
I can see that not only is the self checkout
line going from my left all the way to my right,
(11:12):
all the way down to wherever their little flower group.
And I mean, it's just like it's there must have
been fifty people in the check in the self checkout line.
And then I look down tow where the regular checkout
lines are, and every one of those they're all lined
up at least four or five deep. And I'm thinking,
I want to get one thing of chicken broth, and
it's going to take me an hour. I ain't doing it.
(11:33):
So I swirled back and I went to King Soupers,
and I walked in and I walked out, and for
the first time, I didn't feel guilty, but I felt
like I was getting guilted. There were two groups of strikers,
(11:54):
one kind of over where the cars park and then
one right in front of the door, which I'm kind
of surprised that their labor agreement allows them to strike
right where you're trying to get your cart and go
in the door. But one woman, I was trying not
to make eye contact, but I could see one woman.
(12:14):
My peripheral vision was just watching every step I made.
So I finally made eye contact with her because I thought, Okay,
let's just see. What are you going to do? What
are you going to say to me? So I just
looked at her and she said hello, and I said hi,
and she said, hope you're having an ice day and
I said, I hope you are too. And then it
came and how came the flyer? Can I hand you
(12:38):
a piece of paper? No, ma'am, you may not, and
we not in And it literally took me, I bet
less than two minutes to walk in, grab that that
chicken broth, go through the self check out line, pay
my dollar thirty nine or whatever it was, and walk out.
(12:58):
And I thought, I'm not going to inconvenience myself and
wait in line to buy. I mean it would I'm
not exaggerating. It would have taken me a minimum of
thirty minutes, probably closer to an hour to check out
at the Safeway on Highlands Ranch Parkway versus literally driving
all the way back to the King Supers that's close
(13:20):
to my house, and walking in and out all of
that probably took less time that would have taken me
to sit inside the safeway. So, with all due respect
to the strikers, my convenience is more important than your strike.
I'm not going to wait an hour to buy one thing,
and you're not going to guilt me by trying to
(13:42):
hand me a piece of paper that Quite frankly, I've
heard all the stories about you know, low wages and
poor working conditions and how badly you're treated, and blah
blah blah blah. Well, welcome to the real world, and
that's just the way it is. Then, I don't know
why I do show prep and this morning I walk
in and I have an email. Hello Michael, longtime listener here.
(14:06):
Please keep my name confidential from your broadcast if you
share anything from this email. Okay, I'm going to do that,
but as a lead in to a story about why
the stupid Democrats are seemed to be opposed to, you know,
rooting out waste, fraud and abuse. Listen to this email
now the listener has signed it. Uh. In fact, I
(14:31):
know he's a long time listener because he has he's
typed it on his iPad, and he's got his name,
he has his phone number, which I can reverse look
up and confirm it really is him, and he's put
in his Cooper number, So I know that he's a
long time listener. But listen to this long time listener here.
(14:52):
Please keep it anymore. I'm trying to be cautious, cautious
of others here, he writes. I am floored by the
bla in disregard for the American people and the waste
of our nation's resources. I work for a major insurance provider,
well known nationally and very popular among various government institutions.
(15:13):
I think I could probably guess who it is. My
area of expertise is commercial insurance for entrepreneurs and new startups.
I've been in this field a long time, he writes,
and I feel fortunate to be in a position that
reads the pulse of small business in America. I take
(15:34):
thousands of calls a year from people needing some former
business insurance. I'm sorry to say the quality of our
entrepreneurial spirit is degrading to some degree. One of my
callers today set the bar even lower. Immediately on the
call landing. I could tell this person had difficulty keeping
(15:55):
attention on topic. Sounds like me always got it chased
and squirrels.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Quote.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
Damn that elon close quote was this person's opening line
after I delivered my greeting.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Now think about that, Jesse.
Speaker 6 (16:14):
Uh, good morning, this is blankly blank insurance company.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
How may I help you? Damn that elon?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
What?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Hello?
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Uh? This isn't Democrat National Headquarters. Uh? You want me
to look that number up for you? You might have the
wrong number. Damn that Elon was this person's opening line
after I'd delivered my greeting. Inaudible mumbling followed afterwards. Got
I had people that just mumbled on mumbled.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Trump coming back caused this.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
Damn that Elon close quote, this person repeated again for
the next thirty minutes. I talked to this person. I
kept trying to get him to understand that I need
him to raise the volume of his voice. He was whispering.
I'm in my office and others are waiting outside my door.
I don't want them to hear was his response. Then
(17:13):
go somewhere else, you know, Go home and make your
phone call, Go to your car, use your cell phone.
I mean, come on, he went on to the listener continues.
He went on to seek my guidance of how to
start a business and wanted to know where he should start.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
I didn't know what.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
You could call somebody and say, hey, I just want
to start a business. Where do I start? Somebody gave
me that phone number, or maybe I should call this
listener and just say, hey, you know, I want to
start a business. Where do I start?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Now?
Speaker 6 (17:48):
Listen closely. For the next thirty minutes I talked to
this person. I kept trying to get him to understand
I needed him to raise the volume of his He
was whispering in my office, and others are waiting outside
my door.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I don't want them to hear me, was his response.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
He went on to seek my guidance of how to
start a business and wanted to know where he should start.
He was all over the place with ideas and had
no clue what he could do. I asked him, what
do you do professionally now? He said, simply, and I quote,
I work in a facility affected by Elon and I'm
(18:27):
being shoved out. I want something without actual responsibility like
I had here.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I should you know?
Speaker 6 (18:41):
I before I finished the rest of the email, if
you can call this goober and say, hey, I'd like
a job where I get paid like kind of what
I'm getting paid now, but I have no responsibilities, and
so I want something like I'm doing right now where
I don't have any responsibilities but I get paid. Well
to do you find that for me? And if that
(19:01):
guy can find me this job? Uh, Jesse, it was
kind of like your job.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Sign me up.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
It's kind of the job you have now a little
bit no responsibilities.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
All you got to do is just make sure that
you know, hey, they stay on air when the game's playing,
and then you don't care.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Yeah, and even that's fifty to fifty, well exactly.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
And half the time they Jack and Jay don't know
whether they're on the air or not, so they just
keep talking. And you're just back there scrambling around because
you had to. You tripped over something and unplugged some
wires somewhere because you weren't paying attention to.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
What you were doing.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I'm making dinner reservations.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
It's exactly right.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
You're already thinking about dinner, and you're also looking at
the clock, going come on, guys, come on, let's wrap
this up. Come on, it's the ninth inning. Let's wrap
this up. Hey, I have a question before I get
back to this email. So after a game's finished, after
the light last strike game's over, how long is it
before you actually physically get out of a stadium?
Speaker 8 (19:56):
Well, so we do four segments, but it's only about
twenty twenty five minutes. And then depending on if it's
a getaway day or not. If it's not a getaway day,
we turn everything off. I hide my computers and lock
everything up. And then where and we're back to the hotel.
Yeah yeah, usually within the hour. Yeah, yep.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Now do you have a rental car in every suit.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Some places, not every city?
Speaker 8 (20:16):
Okay, if we arrange for him, we can get him,
but I usually just uber it and then we take
the team buses.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah, yeah, it's easier that way.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
And then do you go to dinner by yourself or
what do you do?
Speaker 8 (20:26):
Me and Jerry kind of stick together a lot, but
I quite often have a second dinner by myself, very often.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Of course you do.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
Okay, now wait wait until come back, because let's get
to the punchline of this email I got this morning
from the caller who wants a job where he has
no actual responsibilities like he has now, but still gets paid.
That might be a copyright violation of some sort. So
don't tell anybody.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I love this one. See this is why this audience has.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
I feel like I've done a fairly good job, you know,
as a lawyer, kind of teaching you guys to think
critically and also to think about all the legal ramifications.
Because Gouber number zero three hundred rites Mike or Michael,
which is a smart ass thing to do in itself.
Right there, Mike or Michael, is there a caveat in
the rental contract that prevents one from choking your chickens?
(21:25):
Ask Gouber number zero three hundred.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
That's pretty good, I think.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
You know, I have to admit I had not thought
about that, you know, I just but now that I'm
thinking about it, that's all I can think about. And
of course nine zero six zero what about the vet bills?
And then, of course to the talkback, we've got thirty
six oh two that says Michael, predators, predators, we have
foxes and raccoons. And then thirty six oh two also
(21:50):
points out that Michael, three chickens don't give three eggs
a day in the winter, we are lucky if we
get five eggs a week and we have three chickens. Well,
you don't have very productive chickens, you know. I have
no idea what the production level of a chicken is,
or how you would increase it or decrease it or
control it or whatever.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Yeah, what if you rent a dud? Is there.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Exactly?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (22:15):
And then you have all you have the all the
embedded costs of the all the upfront capital costs of
of you know, any entering into the Lisa agreement, having
me as your lawyer review the Lise agreement, which is
going to cost you a couple of thousand dollars, and
then you have and by the way, do you pay
monthly or do you pay at six months at a time?
What are the terms of the agreement? And then what
happens if the chicken does die?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I mean what?
Speaker 6 (22:36):
There are all sorts of questions about this ninety seven
ninety eight, writes Michael. We had a painter who brought
us fresh eggs, and my mom always used to say
eggs fresh from the chickens.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Butts uh, I don't think they come from the butt.
But you know, I may be wrong about that.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
It's just one of those things that I've never really
said and pondered, like where does the chicken come from?
I have one which comes first to chicken or the egg.
Back to the email, because this this email, Flaber guests me.
That's a very technical legal term. Flabber guests me, so
to kind of reset it. I get this email from
(23:18):
a from one of you, a goober who works in
the insurance industry, a well known company, and his particular
expertise is helping entrepreneurs and new business owners and startups
with their insurance needs and also apparently provides some sort
of advice about, you know, how to gets your startup
(23:39):
or your business.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Up and going.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
And a person calls and their first words after he
gives his greeting, you know, good morning, you've reached you know.
My name's Michael Brown. I'm with iHeartMedia Consulting for startups business.
How may I help you today? And the response is,
damn that Elon Trump coming back caused this.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Damn that Elon.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
And for the next thirty minutes as he talks to
this person, he kept trying to get him to raise
his voice so he could hear him and understand him.
He's whispering. He finally says, well, I have to whisper
because I'm in my office and there are people waiting
outside and I don't want them to hear me. And
then we get to the crux. He wanted to guidance
(24:19):
on how to start a business and wanted to know
where he should start. He was all over the place
with ideas and he had no clue what he could do.
I asked him, the goober writes what he does professionally. Now,
see that would be a great question to ask you
when he starts your own business. Well, let's talk about
what you're doing now, let's talk about your skill set.
(24:40):
Let's talk about what you'd like to do. What do
you enjoy now, maybe some hobbies. You can turn a
hobby into a business. Any number of things that you
might ask. And his reply was simply quote, I worked
in a facility affected.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
By Elon and I'm being shoved out.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
I want something without any actual responsibility like I had here.
I think you're right where you belong. Yeah, working for
the government, yep. Michael my Collor went on to tell
me he worked his way into a supervisory.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Position in the government with.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
People who reported to him, and he effectively had no skills.
I've listened to your radio program a long time, and
I'm sure you've seen something similar up close while you
served our country. Even if no one admitted as much
to you openly, I'm sure you've observed it directly. I
was unable to help him other than my tax dollars
(25:41):
collected over the long career. He spent fleecing my salary. Naturally,
I didn't express this thought to him, but inside I
was disgusted and happy he's getting the pink slip. I
just wish he wouldn't get that parachute support. Those in
the private sector don't get when they experienced similar job
law hardships. They are getting somewhat of a parachute. You're
(26:05):
working from home today, or we found that your job
is unnecessary, and we're going to pay you through the
end of the fiscal year, through the end of September
or September twenty five, whatever date they've put on it,
and so just stay home, go away. We'll continue to
send you your checks, but after the end of the
fiscal year, boom, you're out of here. Yeah, I'd say
that's pretty dan good. But have I seen that? Oh,
(26:30):
my gosh, have I seen that? So my friend Joe
Peggs called last night and wanted me to go on
this program. So I went on to talk to Pegs
for a while. It was good to see PAGs. Haven't
talked to him in a while, and he was asking
me some of these things about, you know, FEMA that's
(26:50):
going on, whether FEMA could actually be dissolved or not,
and we have a conversation about that. But I had
also told him about this contract that we discussed yesterday
about spending five hundred two twenty four million dollars to
build for one component of DHS, one single component, the
headquarters on the property of the old Saint Elizabeth's Hospital
(27:10):
just outside DC, across the Anacostia River. And Pad was
blown away by it, couldn't believe it. I'm like, well,
you know what your listeners can go to. I've put
a link up to the GSA contract on my ex
feed and you go read the contract yourself.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
It's there.
Speaker 6 (27:27):
But Pad reminded me of something when I totally it
was the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Administration SIZA.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
He said, ah, well, waymen.
Speaker 6 (27:34):
Isn't that the same group that had the disinformation board
where they were going to, you know, go out and
seek out disinformation and then try to you know, counter
that with propaganda. I said, oh yeah, I forgot about that.
That is exactly the same group. I think what we're
witnessing is two points that I want to focus on.
(27:55):
One is someone has gotten elected that is actually doing
what they said they were going to do. They're trying
to clean up waste fraud and abuse. But even more
so than that, I think almost as Look, I think
waste fraud in abuse is something they do need to
clean up, but there are two other things that they're
focusing on that we may not see the benefits of immediately,
(28:22):
but we will over the long haul. And that's to
deregulate this society. This society is so highly regulated. You know,
for example, this duber that sent me to email, he's
working in insurance industry, a highly regulated business. This company
I work for a highly regulated industry. Probably the company
(28:44):
you work for is a highly regulated industry. But even
if it's not, and let's say you're not the owner.
If you're not the owner, I would strongly encourage you
at some point to go find your owner, find your supervisor,
whatever you're you know, preferably the owner, the CEO, or whomever,
(29:07):
and have a conversation. Maybe work in a company that's
large enough that you have, like we have here, not here,
but in the corporate headquarters, a compliance officer, someone whose
job is to just make sure that every ethan thing
that that company does is in compliance with all of
(29:28):
the regulations that affect that business. And you understand that
what we've done is we have criminalized not well, some
some regulations do come now with criminal penalties where you
are actually committing a crime by failing to follow, or
(29:50):
ignoring or not one hundred percent in compliance with a
rule or regulation. And as I've said a bazillion times,
and and I'd like to hear from someone who's actually
taken me up on this, because most of you haven't
done it. And I understand you're busy and you've got
other things to do. But wherever you're listening to me,
(30:13):
if there's a law school, a college or university, probably
a public library like the Denver Public Library, I would
guess doesn't have this. I may be wrong, but it
may not. But I really do want you to walk
in to a law school library or a college or
university library, ask the first person you see the first library,
(30:34):
and hey, please show me where the Code of Federal
Regulations are, and they'll tell you. You know, it's on
the third floor, you know, aisle whatever, and they'll send
you up there.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
And I want you to just behold the rose and
rose and.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
Rose of regulations and then tell me that because even
as a lawyer. Now obviously I'm not practicing right now,
but even when I was practicing, I couldn't tell you
everything in there. I'd have to go look it up.
So if I had a client that came to me
and said, hey, listen, I've just got this notice from
some regulatory agency that we're in non compliance with this regulation,
(31:14):
the very first thing I would do is go look
up that regulation. Now I can do it electronically. Now
lexis Nexus, I can go on and find electronically. But
back in the old days, when I was a baby lawyer,
I'd actually have to go to my own law firm's
library and pull out the CFR and go look it up.
But that's only the beginning. Just reading the regulation doesn't
(31:36):
tell me what I need to know. I need to
know also, what other case law is there that interprets
that regulation. Now imagine that you're a small business and
you're trying to comply with all these regulations. It's absolutely absurd.
So that's the other thing that does is doing is
trying to deregulate our society and make it more the
(31:57):
government run more efficient and effectively. That will have a
huge consequence on us, which leads me to the question
why are the Democrats opposed to this? Here's the problem.
I need you to send me a text message thirty
three one zero three. Obviously you know the number because
I don't speak chicken. I never took chicken in high school,
(32:20):
so I don't speak much.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
You know.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
I know about cockta doodle do, and that's about it.
And I did take I took one course on choking chickens,
but other than that, I really never did understand much
about chickens. So if you could tell me what your
chicken said, that would be very helpful. I'm sure it's
complimentary to the program. So we got we have the
listener who takes a phone call yesterday from someone who
(32:46):
is looking to because they're getting shoved out of their job,
all because of Elon and now they're looking for a
job where they can also get paid and have no responsibilities.
You know, I you know who you are, if you're
listening this morning, would you just put me on your
(33:07):
list and send me some ideas of things that I
could do that I could still get paid what I
get paid today and not have to come in and
look at Jesse or Dragon or for that matter, all
the yah who's out there, or deal with you know,
any management and still get paid. Could you would you
let me know that, cause I'm just kind of at
(33:28):
the stage of my life where that's that sounds kind
of nice. Well, actually, at any stage life, that sounds
kind of nice. That sounds kind of like the entire
Democrat Party.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Doesn't it. Who claims that Trump.
Speaker 6 (33:40):
Is creating a constitutional crisis by doing something just like
eliminating the usa i D, the United States Agency for
International Development. You know Bobby Kennedy Junior yesterday who by
the way, was confirmed as next Secretary of Health and
Utian Service. We're going to talk about that, because that's
one more disruptor that's that's now entered the government. Talked
(34:02):
about how his uncle started it as a humanitarian project,
and how it's just become this fraudulent organization. So even
Bobby Kennedy Junior recognizes it, and of course you know Trump.
By the way, can you imagine yesterday Doge walked into
the headquarters of the Internal Revenue Service. Noah, you talked
(34:26):
about an organization who's I mean their computer equipment not
quite as bad as Air Traffic Control ATC I think
still has older and more outdated electronic IT services than
does the IRS. But can you imagine the inefficiencies, Which
is fine with me. The more inefficient the IRS is
