Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Kendall and Casey Show on ninety three WIBC.
I am neither Kendall nor Casey. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Kylan is hanging out on special assignment as well,
and I believe Matt Bear just had to leave. Matt
Bear does not do this show, but I will miss
him for the three hours that I'm on the air now.
And there is no Matt Bear. I assume he's in
studio somewhere hearing me say this, which is totally fine.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Half of this show can be brought to you by the.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Matt and Craig Excellent Podcast, which is the show that
he and I do that I highly suggest you check out.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
All right, let's do.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Some serious stuff first. We are still in the holiday season,
so I don't intend to do a lot of serious today,
but I'll do some of it.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
And this is really interesting to me.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
This is only like a thirty eight second clip and
it's very old. This is not new. This is September
of twenty twenty four. Deciding to play it here because
you have to listen to what Caitlyn Collins on CNN says.
No relation, by the way, not related to her at all,
Thank god, Caitlin Collins crapping all over Trump and Vance
(01:02):
and talking about how racist they are, and all of
it is couched under how mean apparently Trump is to
Somalians or Somalian refugees, and that seems interesting in the
context of December of twenty twenty five and all the
fraud that happened in Minnesota and how many Somalian refugees
were tied to it. And actually there was a viral
(01:24):
video and maybe you've seen this yet, maybe not. There's
a viral video of a young man who's I think
called an independent journalist. A lot of people who put
stuff up on social media and wind up with a
following described themselves as independent journalists. But he goes from
place to place showing you all the ridiculous fraud locations
(01:47):
that exist in Minnesota that are definitely not real establishments
but are getting millions of.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Dollars in money.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
One of them, the Learning Center, actually misspelled the word learning.
There's no en at the end of it, which is
kind of weird that if you were going to the
learning center and it got millions of dollars to teach
people stuff that they would misspell the word at the
top of the name. But the businesses were all locked closed,
most of them had no signage at all, So just
(02:17):
complete crap, like the kind of places that no one
ever checked on to see if they were real.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
So the amount of fraud through the roof.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Let's hear how Collins Caitlin Collins says that Trump Advance
a racist because they're saying some of this stuff out loud.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
This moment, in a bigger picture, does harken back to
one that we've seen before on the campaign trail, like
when Donald Trump said this when he was in Minnesota
in twenty sixteen about Somali refugees.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Here in Minnesota, you've seen firsthand the problems cause with
faulty refugee vetting, with large numbers of Somali refugees coming
into US state without your knowledge, without your supporter approgram.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
My next source is firsthand. What follows political rhetoric like
that the Democrat from Minnesota Representative.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Ill I's not right there.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Of course she had Ilhan Omar in twenty twenty four
on to talk about this too. Ilhon seems very closely
tied to a lot of the money. Does it mean
everybody who comes from a certain country is benefiting from fraud,
of course not. It's ridiculous that you have to say
that stuff in the society we're in now, because that's
how the left wants to turn the conversation into like
(03:31):
I'm a bad person. They don't want to talk about
the real thing. They don't want to have a discussion
about how bad it is to have this ridiculous amount
of fraud, and how it's not possible for Tim Walls
to have no idea this was going on, and others
to have no idea they're going on, Like all those things.
The substance of the conversation can be ignored if you
tell me or claim that Trump or Evans or anybody's
(03:53):
or rasist like out terrible people.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
And to be.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Totally honest, I've heard this discussed quite a few times.
This was part of the way that they made so
much money, these fraudsters that were taking millions of dollars
from taxpayers. Every time that something got hung up, every
time that something wasn't funded as quickly as it was
supposed to be. Someone came toward the politicians, like sent
(04:17):
emails and whatnot. I came after them and they said
this is racism. If you don't fund this for us,
you're being a racist. And the left catered to that
because they're terrified of being called that, because they weaponize
it against the right. I have to be sexist, I
have to be racist, I have to be all these things.
I can't possibly just want to have a conversation about
how this or that is being misused, ridiculous, unfair, etc.
(04:41):
All those things. All right, I want to play this
audio two. This is Scott Jennings. He's talking about a
Nobel prize for President Trump in twenty twenty six. Of course, Trump,
our president, was kind of hopeful that he'd get one
in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Didn't happen.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Many people thought that he was robbed, and the person
who actually won a Nobel prize is tied to a
lot of the ongoing craziness in places like Venezuela. But nonetheless,
twenty twenty six whole new solution and I love that.
ABC immediately knee Jerk reacted to it, and Scott Jennings
came back saying, this is the reason why it is
(05:16):
so hard to have conversations like this. More or less,
this is the reason why we can't even discuss these
topics because you've decided from jump it's a horrible idea.
Even if say, there's peace in Ukraine in Russia, which
sounds like we're getting closer to that, here we go
Nobel Prize. I think Donald Trump's going to win a
Nobel Prize, And.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Well, why because he solved the Ukraine. I think that
we will see an end of the war this year.
We should pray for an end to this killing in
this war.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, we should pray for an end to the killing
in the war. We shouldn't get mad if you're Jonathan
carl and be like, why why because of the end
of the fight in Ukraine? Is that why Nobel Prize
is possible for the President of the United States. Yeah,
is the answer to that question. Yes, that is a
way that is possible. And Zelenski and Trump met and
apparently the end result of that meeting is that we're
(06:06):
much closer to peace, which is a good thing. Again,
I don't get the cheering against someone because you don't
like them, even if the thing that they're doing is
something that you should like. It doesn't matter who you
are and what it is. If Biden had done good
stuff in office. I would have acknowledged it, but Biden
by and large didn't even know he was in office.
(06:26):
It was hard for him to do anything good well there.
But nonetheless, like I think that that's part of the
reason that this is so ridiculous and so difficult again
to have these conversations without someone yelling and screaming all kinds.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Of crazy stuff at you.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
All Right, there's one other thing out there that I
do want to talk about, and I have to decide
exactly how I'm going to do it, because it's not
going to be easy to discuss it, mostly because the
audio is stuff I'm not sure I'm going to play,
and I cleaned it up I could play it. But
Dave Chappelle has a comedy special that's out. It's been
out on Netflix for a little bit now, and he
(07:01):
talked about Charlie Kirk and the comparisons made to Martin
Luther King Junior, and Dave Chappelle of course belittled those.
He made fun of those. He thought they were ridiculous
and insane. And the best joke he made about it,
I will be honest about this, Dave Chappelle was if
Martin Luther King had to be a social media influencer
at the time when he was an important figure in
(07:23):
our society. It would have been odd. It would not
have been as authentic as the human being that is
Martin Luther King the way that people remember him. He
did not ask for people to like and subscribe and
all that stuff, and that was a pretty good joke,
I'll be honest about that. But I do think that
there are some missed comparisons that are deserved, and so
(07:43):
I kind of want to dive into that, And I
also want to dive into how Chappelle joked about it
and didn't necessarily go as far as people are claiming
he went, because I did watch the special. But you know, again,
it's just interesting that as we do this stuff, the
people say it on a certain side or whatever, or
(08:04):
you know, uniquely focused on and then if you say
something the other way, I think that the pitchforks come
out and people try to attack you when things go crazy.
So there's a little bit of oddness the very least
in how we say that. You know, I'm gonna stop
for a second because Kylin, I don't remember when I
break for this show. I know when I break for
(08:25):
the other show that I fill it on, and I've
filled in a few times now in Kendall and Casey.
I don't remember when my first commercial was supposed to be.
Can you tell me that you.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Can do it now? You can do it in two minutes?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Okay, what do you want? What do you want?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I got two minutes in me. If you want me
to do two more, you tell me you're okay? Al right, cool,
I let's do it. Well, then I'll do a little
bit of the Dave Chappelle stuff. So to me, what
I thought was really interesting. I heard from like three
or four friends of mine that had texted me after
they watched the special over the holiday weekend, which was
weird because I've been a fairly big I don't know
(09:01):
if that's the right word. I've been a person very
focused on the death of Charlie Kirk in the meaning
of it and not the way that crazy people like
Candice Owen's are. I'm not hunting for conspiracy theory, but
I am. I do believe that there is a tremendous
amount of significance in that person's death, more so than
even the people. And I wasn't a huge fan of
(09:21):
Charlie I didn't watch everything that Charlie put out there,
Turning Point USA put out there, so it wasn't like
I was a passionate supporter, and when he died it
hit me uniquely hard.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
It's the opposite.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Actually, I was someone who definitely knew who he was,
respected the person I thought highly of him, but barely
consumed any.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Of his content. And then when he died, he has
such a.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Tremendous amount of stuff out there of him debating and
you know, showing up college campuses or going to Oxford,
all kinds of stuff that the thing I think is
more significant than anything else in comparing him to Martin
Luther King Junior or anyone any important historical figure, is
how much he might mean in the future. And the
only reason that I think Charlie Kirk has a lasting
(10:04):
impression on society is because of how much stuff you
can go out and see of him, how many things
you can go back and look, and then you can
start to form the opinion of why he was killed,
that he was killed for his beliefs, And that is
also very similar to people like Martin Luther King Junior,
not necessarily just him, but people like him. So I
(10:25):
think it's interesting. I'll dive into it more a little
bit later, will go deeper there. But the truth to me,
and it's regardless. It's not because of the positions that
Charlie took on issues. I want that to be clear.
Not that I disagree with all of them or agree
with all of them, because I don't agree or disagree
with everything anyone does. But I will say that I
think it's the potential for the impact of the quantity
(10:48):
of the information that's out there.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
But all right, we'll take a break. We'll do a
lot more.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Craig Collins filling in Kylon hanging out on the Kendall
and Casey Show, ninety three WIBC.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
This is The and.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Casey Show, ninety three WIBC, just a couple of days
before New Year's Eve. My name is Craig Collins, filling in.
Thrilled to be with you. Kylon is hanging out producer
Kylon on special assignment too. How's the holiday, Kylin? Let
me ask you that how were things for you on Christmas?
Days after it? Have you been working a lot? I
imagine you have.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
I'm pretty similar to you, where you're always filling in
for holiday people but I'm still able to get all
the holidays in still got it with all my family
and more nice.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Can't complain get anything fancy for Christmas? You're happy about?
Speaker 5 (11:34):
I got a standing mixer?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Oh my god, a standing mixer is amazing. Are you
going to be a DJ?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
No?
Speaker 5 (11:43):
A standing like a baking mixer?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Oh oh, that's okay, that's not at all what I thought.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I thought you meant that you got a whole mixing
set for music and being a DJ.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Why would you want to bake? Standing?
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Up?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Can I ask you that?
Speaker 5 (11:57):
So the standing mixer, you set the bowl in to
it and it just automatically stirs it for you, So
you don't have to use your hand mixer or anything.
You just said it?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
All right?
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Well, you can tell how much I understand about cooking
by the questions I'm asking in response to the thing
you said.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
You can tell how good I am at this. So
thank you. So you don't have to use.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Your hand mixer, Well, thank god for that, because that's difficult.
Those things are hard. So I've never baked anything in
my life. Are you a good baker?
Speaker 5 (12:23):
I enjoy baking. I don't do a whole lot of it. Actually, homemade,
but maybe now I will if because it's going to
be a lot more efficient. The first thing that I
used it for was mashed potatoes, though, so homemade chunky.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Well, I guess now it's not chunky because it's going
to be smooth.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, there you go, right wonderful. I want to warn
you about something.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Now that you're talking publicly at a radio station about
being able to cook things, they're going to want you
to bring stuff to them. All the people you work
with are going to want cookies and all kinds of items.
That is how it works. Anytime you talk on the
radio about being good at cooking, the people around you
are used to getting free staff occasionally. That's the nice
thing about being in radio. So now they want some
free stuff from you.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I'm just warning you out loud at this point.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
You're the one I work with the most for the holiday,
and I don't know how I reached that to you.
I'm gonna have to nail it to.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
You that it's fine. We can figured it out. You know
what's funny about Okay, Actually you just mentioned something. I
live in Houston, Texas. I actually used to live in
South Bend, Indiana, So maybe One of the reasons I
wind up on WIBC is because of my connection to Indiana,
but I'm not currently there. Tonight, the Pacers will be
playing the Rockets here in Houston, so I'm going to
(13:33):
go to that, mostly because the tickets were actually incredibly cheap,
not no offense to either team.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
The Rockets are actually quite good.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I think the Pacers are also good, but I do
the last minute ticket thing on game Time, which is
an app. And then this weekend the Colts will be
playing the Texans, also in Houston. Those tickets are more expensive,
so I'm contemplating going to that game. I haven't officially
decided yet, but the reason I want to go to
this stuff is because of WIBC. I want to go
(14:02):
to see the Pacers tonight and the Cults on Sunday,
partly because I work at this radio station and it
just so happens that Indianapolis teams are in town all week.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
How odd is this that I know you see it.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I couldn't believe it was both because my game Time
app popped up to offer me it was like seven
dollars tickets to go see the Rockets tonight, and I
was like, I can't. I can't say no to that.
They're going to be nosebleed seats, but why not? And
it was the Pacers. And then as I looked at
the weekend schedule, I'm like, I just can't believe that
Indianapolis is here. They're on vacation in Texas while I'm
(14:36):
on vacation doing stuff in Indianapolis.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
So it just seemed perfect.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Maybe I'll break down the game, maybe I'll dive deep tomorrow.
And no, don't do that, because I probably won't unless
we have someone from the sports department jump.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
In with me to do it, but who knows. But yeah,
it'll be fun.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
And my wife has never been to an NBA basketball game,
so I'm kind of excited to take her to her
first one ever because she grew up liking Michael Jordan's
Bulls like me, which I know is sacrilege just say
in Indiana, but it's true.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
And so now she'll actually finally get to see a game.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
We didn't go the entire time we lived in Chicago,
and she liked the Bulls and she criticizes me heavily
for not bringing her to a game. It just never
it never worked out where like there was a team
she wanted to see them play, and the Bulls were
not very good at basketball, and now that we live here,
it seems better. But I'm probably a bad husband, I guess,
is what I'm saying. I think that's the takeaway of
(15:31):
this tire segment, is that I've screwed up somehow, and obviously,
you know, almost unfixable ways. Although the Bulls I think
also come to town soon too, so maybe I'll take
her to that game as well.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
We'll see. All right, one, let well ahead what we're
gonna say.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Sure that the Indianapolis players are happy to be over
in Texas right now because they're missing a wind winter
blizzard that's out our window at the moment.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
How bad is itwise?
Speaker 5 (15:55):
That is New York, But it's really cold and a
lot of a lot of snow. It's just flurrying back
into the.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Un But then, well here, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Keep going the Indianapolis. The Colts are now out of
the playoffs, so maybe your tickets will drop down and
be even cheaper by Sunday.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
That's true, You're right, because they were officially eliminated. I
think the Texans have a really, really difficult road to
actually win their division, which means the game probably means nothing,
which hopefully then you're right, the price falls.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Here's the thing I'm going to do.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
And I hated it all the time that I lived
in Indiana or Chicago or whatever. But yeah, I see,
the temperature is pretty bad there. You're in the twenties
for the high today and stuff, and there's going to
be snow and things in Indianapolis and not fun at all.
Here in Houston, it's like seventy today. So I hate
when people did that when I lived in other places.
I kind of like doing it to all my friends
(16:47):
that are still in you know, Indiana now and apparently
that's everybody at WIBC. Actually it's only in the fifties.
I just looked up the weather, but I think we're
going to hit the seventies at some point today, so
you know, not so bad to live here. You're right
that probably the cults and everybody, they're very happy that
they're coming this way in the near future.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
I think on a plane in hand, deliver my cookies to.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
You there you go, yeah, come up, Hey, there's some
radio stations over here that are in the family with
you guys.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
We could do the show from one of those studios.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
If you come on buy you just got to get
the station to pay for it a Kylon, which I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I don't think that's going to happen. I don't think
they're going to make that work.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Just say, you got to do a studio tour of
you know, you know, a sister station and then see
how that goes. All right, I do have one last
thing that I'll throw out there, and I know we've
got to take a break in about a minute, so
I'll probably talk about this more later. The four tips
to living a longer life is something that I saw online.
Research from this year shows the importance of certain things.
(17:47):
There is also a high focus or a lot of
significance at GLP one drugs, which are drugs that help
you drop weight, because a whole lot of people might
need help with that, and apparently the drugs are going
to be more and more or accessible. So I thought
that was interesting that there was a end of the
year story out there, as often you see them, that
(18:07):
talks about the ways to be healthy next year. The
four things most important about you know, anti aging type
of thinking, at least according to the story, and that
one of the things was get a certain drug, get
a specific drug to make you thinner as soon as
possible without having to go to the gym. I thought
that was interesting. They'll talk about that more in a bit.
(18:28):
We got a lot of other stuff coming up. Craig
Collins filling in on Kendlan Casey ninety three WIBC with
Kylon hanging out.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
I got news coming up and a lot more in
just a bit.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
This is the Kendall and Casey Show, ninety three WIBC.
My name is Craig Collins, filling in.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Thrilled to be with you.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
A bunch of stuff out there to talk about a
bunch of stuff in the news. Let's do a couple
things real quick.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
First.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I was mentioning this earlier. Nick Shirley is the name
of the YouTuber. He calls himself an independent journalist, as
most people who have a following who talk about news
who aren't tied to any sort of news outlet call themselves.
But anyway, he went to a bunch of the places
that are the very focused on fraudulent establishments where Minnesota
(19:14):
has been given a lot of money to Somalian connected
companies that are not doing any of the things that
they claim to be doing. Here's a couple quick thoughts
about this before I actually hit play.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
On any audio.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Why didn't anyone else in establishment news media try to
do this? Oh, that's right. They don't actually want to
tell you the news. They want to do something very different.
This seems like a very obvious local news decision, and
a YouTuber is the one who did it, and it
lit up social media. People were paying attention to this
a bunch. He has a million subscribers, so it was
(19:47):
very easy.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Like.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
The funny thing about mainstream local news is they love
to be outside at an establishment. That makes no sense
for them to be outside at You know, if they
talk about the weather, they're outside in the street where
it's no You don't need to put the reporter on
the street there and show us how bad the snow is.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
We get it.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
If we live wherever the place is, it's having the
bad weather. We don't need the additional ad. They'll stand
out outside of town hall and be like here earlier
today this thing happened, But at no point did anyone
in mainstream news media in Minneapolis or Minnesota at all
go to one of the places and broadcast outside it.
So the first time the American people or anyone who
(20:27):
paid attention on social media got to see just how
ridiculous these places are. It was because of a YouTuber,
So that matters in and of itself, I think, but
it's also spurned a lot of other or it's inspired
is a better word, a lot of other people to
try to check on some of this stuff. So this
is a viral video now for some dude named Jake,
(20:50):
who I don't think anywhere near as popular as Nick
Shirley is where he called one of the establishments that
went viral in the video, and this is one of
the ones there's outside of I think this is one
of the ones where someone came up and miss you know,
identified Nick and his friend as Ice. And so there
was a person yelling in the background one of these videos,
(21:11):
don't open the doors, don't open the doors. Ice is
outside and they weren't Ice. It had nothing to do
with Ice. And so that was a weird, sort of
like liberal superhero moment where someone was trying to save
people from a thing that wasn't happening. But nonetheless, I
want to play this because this guy calls one of
the establishments and is shocked to see where the phone
(21:32):
number is routed, where the actual answer goes. And granted
there's a few rings in here that I could have
cut out, I didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Here we go and this is the business right here.
This is an Angel.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Childcare in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Now listen to where this phone number goes to when
you call this childcare center.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yes, sir, by the way, something I really love about this,
and it's going to ring a couple times. I'm going
to turn it down a little bit. Is how many
people now feel like they're.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Reporting the news. His news isn't doing it.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
And so this guy calling this number and the you know,
amount of excitement he has in his voice to do
it is partly because no one else is.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Doing this stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Gowall, oh oh, they dropped his phone.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Yes, the phone number to some of the establishments that
were fake that had no one actually going to them,
that we're getting millions of dollars of government funding. The
phone number actually routed to the office of Tim Walls,
Which that seems bad. That seems like a thing you
probably don't want to have happened. If you're Tim Walls.
Can't say you have no idea how any of this
fraud is working. And obviously we're just after an election
(22:40):
cycle in which Kamala Harris raised a tremendous amount of money,
more money than you've ever seen a raised by anybody
who ran a campaign for only a couple months, and
got a lot of money from Biden too, and then
of course lost spectacularly in the election and spent a
lot of that money on weird stuff. That was another
big thing that came out after the election cycle was
(23:01):
over is that somehow, some way, the Harris campaign was
in debt and it had raised tremendous amounts of money
trying to beat President Trump. And so it goes to
ask where does the money go, the money that gets
funneled to these companies, where is it going next, How
much of it gets back into campaigns, and does that
(23:22):
because these people want more checks as well, they obviously
are willing to help embezzle the funds if they keep
cashing in on it. All of these things are questions
we definitely deserve answers to, and it's just sort of
insane to watch regular people or what we're now calling
independent journalists figure this stuff out because regular mainstream media
(23:43):
has no interest in doing it. By the way, one
last thing about Walls. He put up a post on
social media. He's attempting to defend himself and doing so
in a very odd way. So he tried to brag
about the things that Minnesota is ranked highly in. So
his post said they're number eight in safety, five to
live in, a number three for a job availability. They
(24:05):
are the second state to raise a family and second
state to retire in, according to some stat out there
that I don't even know if that's heavily agreed upon.
But the thing that I love about this Tim Mall's
put this up on social media. I think he also
said it's number one and they won't quit fighting for you.
And then a lot of people said, you're missing something, Bud.
There's something else that seems to be, you know, a
(24:27):
highly ranked thing for Minnesota that's not there, and that
would be number one in fraud or at least in
very specific Somalian fraud that's taking place in your state.
You're easily number one in that. So you could have
definitely bragged a little bit harder about the success you're
having there. And it's just it's insane. To be honest,
you know, I meant to not go on too long
(24:48):
about this, and I can't help it. The further this
rabbit hole goes, the more information we learn about this,
the more likely it is that this is just the
tip of the iceberg, at least to me, of the
amount of other schemes like this that are happening everywhere
else in the country. Because it's just it's so blatant,
it's so insane, and it's so impossible that if you
(25:10):
were doing your job at all, you could allow this
to happen, like you could have visited any of these
locations that the YouTuber goes to to easily assess that
they're completely crap before giving them millions of dollars, and
even more so than that, the ability to call some
of these places and get the office of Tim Walls.
It's just insane. It's just the kind of thing that
(25:32):
makes someone go crazy. Who's called a conspiracy theorist. You know,
uncle who gets yelled at every holiday that he's the
crazy one in the room when this sort of thing happens,
because then that person feels very much like they're the
only sane person in a lot of these rooms, even
if they do say some stuff too that's crazy. And
by the way, actually to that, I know I'm bouncing
(25:54):
around here. I can't help it. This is what I
do when I have a longer form segment to talk
with you. I do think that Candace Owens is now
trying to backtrack on some of the crazy stuff she
said about Charlie Kirk, and I do have a question,
And the question for her is why not? Because I
think that it's wrong. She should backtrack. She got a
(26:16):
lot of stuff very wrong. She said insane things. But
if you brand yourself and have success by being the
insane person in the room, you know, a la some
of the other people who've done that before in the past,
and maybe the threat of a lawsuit is finally what
makes you wise up. I'm not sure, but it does
seem like backtracking now is partially doing it because maybe
(26:37):
the audience is going away. I wonder if that's all
that it is. I wonder if the audience dips and
ebbs and flows and causes the decision making, because I
don't think it really is a thing where Candace has
decided she no longer should approach these topics the same
way and I have audio that I'll use a little
later on to prove it. She really is changing her
position on some of the most radical, insane stuff she said,
(27:01):
which feels as though it is also probably a reflection
of the truth of what's going on. In the case
of a person who killed Charlie Kirk. I don't like
to say the names, even if you've heard it a
bunch of times already, of people who do that. I
like to not say the names of horrible killer pieces
of crap. But nonetheless, the person who did this seems
(27:21):
like there's a whole lot of proof that's going to
demonstrate that they did it. And I will say one
last thing about Candice Owens before I take a break.
Her podcast went from ranked in the low forties or
maybe even high forties, to ranked just outside the top
twenty in one quarter from the second to the third
quarter of this year. I haven't seen the numbers for
Q four because it's not over yet. Obviously, what she
(27:44):
did worked, so a whole lot of people paid attention
to it, and a lot more people will probably do
things similar to spike their own ratings, and that's not
good for us. That's the negative aspect to the independent
journalist society we're in now is some of these journalists
just like mainstream media. It's not like mainstream media doesn't
already do this, but these independent journalists may also choose
(28:07):
ratings over truth and give us crap information if they
see the same thing will work that mainstream media has seen.
So that is I guess the warning that I'll throw
out there is that even as you want to rely
more on the independent journalist, you do have to understand
the way they become popular is not necessarily a way
that gives you more.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Truth, which is not good.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
It's obviously a very bad thing, and there's less there's
less levels to jump through for them to sell out
the way that mainstream media does. It's really just them.
Sometimes it's just a person in front of a microphone
and a computer being like, all right, I could sell out,
and I'll say it this way myself.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Personally, I've had that thought.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
In my brain, like, man, how viral could I go
if I say some crazy stuff and I never do it,
because I'd you know, not be able to sleep, and
I'd feel terrible even if I did become more famous
doing crazy things online came out weird saying crazy conspiratorial
things online. Because again, if you're going for it for fame,
(29:08):
for clicks, for likes, for money, then you're not actually
helping society at all, and you should know that. And
we've seen this a thousand times in regular cable television,
mainstream television, everything in regular media has already done this,
you know, terrible change to follow money and not give
us information, and it could happen everywhere else. All right,
(29:29):
quick break a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on
The Kendle in Casey Show, ninety three WIBC. This is
The Kendle and Ksey Show, ninety three WIBC. My name
is Craig Collins, filling in. Kylan is on special assignment.
Producer Kylin here with me too. We're part of the
holiday team that you get at WIBC a couple different places.
(29:50):
Kylan has worked with me when I fill in for
Tony Katz and now today and tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Right, Kyland, you're back tomorrow producing this show. Correct, Okay, yeah,
and I'll be back to right.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
I found a story that I think maybe I need
your opinion on, just because I think it's interesting. A
young woman went viral for walking out in a first date.
And here's why she did it. She said that it
was a dating app guy that she hadn't met yet,
and they were going back and forth about like, you know,
going on this first date meeting each other, and he
told her that he was going to take her out
(30:21):
to dinner, but it wasn't a big fancy thing. Don't worry,
dress casual. It'll be fine, she said. She rolls up
to the restaurant and it's a very fancy place, and
I have questions about why she didn't google it herself
to see what it was, but she felt terribly underdressed
for it. And then she accused the guy of doing
this on purpose. She thought that it was a power
(30:41):
move for him to dress fancy and bring her to
a fancy place and of her dress down so now
it makes him.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Look like the better looking person in the group.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Er.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
So I don't know what it was, she said exactly,
but anyway, the Internet was very much on her side.
They thought that it was a terrible move and an
awful move and a horrible decision by the dude. I have,
but I don't know if it's true. I don't know
if this guy did do this for reasons other than
the one.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I thought of.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
But before I give you what I think my excuse
is for why this could happen in an innocent way.
I want your reaction to the woman walking out before
the date even starts, getting a million views on social
media and saying, how dare somebody tell me to dress
down and then invite me to a fancy place?
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Boy?
Speaker 5 (31:22):
Man, you hit a sweet spot like that. That's so,
that's that is really tough to set her up like that.
And I don't know if it was intentional to be
a set up, but I already in the same way
where I have to plan out in advance. Is this
going to be too much? Is this going to be
too little? What's the vibe with this? Because if it's not,
then I'm not going I'm absolutely Sometimes I do turn
(31:44):
down fancy restaurants because I don't want to dress up
and have to feel that way. Yeah, And so I
don't blame her, Honestly, I'd be like, we can go
to McDonald's now, Yeah, you're going to McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Will be much better.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Well, okay, so that's one thing. They absolutely could have
just changed the venue. If they both get there, she
doesn't want to go in. And here's the excuse, here's
the innocent way that I think a guy could go
about this, especially a guy who's never met somebody before.
I feel like it's weird when you're asked the question
how fancy do I dress? Because it almost feels like
(32:14):
for the guy I want you to dress up all
of a sudden, like it's not that I want to
take you to a fancy restaurant and impress you. It's
that I'm trying to get you to go over and
above for this first date. So part of me would
want to tell somebody I don't worry about it. Dress
however you want, dress casually, and then if you tell
them the venue you're going to, the internet exists, the
(32:36):
person can look up like what is this place?
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Like?
Speaker 2 (32:38):
What's the attire like?
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Because you could assume that the guy that you're going
on the date with has innocently told you to dress
however you want, and he's willing to go into the
restaurant with you in sweatpants, which I think is what
you showed up wearing, which by the way, is also
sort of hilarious for a first date. But nonetheless, like
they're willing to go in and have the meal with
you and not be embarrassed by it.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
If that's how you want to dress.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
I feel like that's a better move for a guy
than telling someone you gotta dress fancy. But it does
create this situation where someone is now embarrassed and doesn't
want to go into a place. And that's bad, of course,
and it ruined the date entirely. But I think that
I don't want to be the one to add the pressure,
like you got to dress fancy. Even with my wife
and I go to like weddings and stuff and she
(33:19):
always dresses super fancy. I tell her, like, ah, dress however,
like it's not a big deal, and she always looks
at me like I'm a dumb idiot, and then she.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Dresses very nicely and looks amazing, you know.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
But I think there's a component there where the guy
doesn't want to add the pressure, not because they want
to look much nicer than the woman. And who knows,
maybe it is a much worse reason for this dude,
maybe he's just a complete jerk. But I think that
there potentially is the I want you to decide for
yourself if you want to go above and beyond.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
I think there's Yeah, absolutely, I think it is a
smart move to be able to leave it in her
court with however she wants to dress the first date, absolutely,
but that is.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
A huge communication thing.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
You It is nice, it's a nice restaurant, but don't
feel obligated to dress up. You can dress whatever you'd like.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
And if you want to.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Dress in sweats and all, dress and sweats with you,
but this is where we're going.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I think that's a better way. That's a better way
to do that, for sure.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
You know what's funny about this is I remember the
first date I took my wife on, the real first date.
We technically went on a first date where we were
going to go to a movie and a couple other
friends were going to tag along, and then they both canceled,
so just my wife and I went to a movie together.
That was sort of our first date, even though it was,
you know, supposed to be friends. And then by the
end of the date, we were making out. That was
(34:35):
weird to put out there, but it's true. The next
date that I took her on was a very fancy restaurant,
but it was very close to Valentine's Day, and I
wanted to impress her, so like I invited her, she
knew where we were going, she dressed night like, none
of that was the problem. The thing that I thought
was funny is she immediately assumed I was much wealthier
than I was, because she's like, Wow, this is date too,
this must we must be doing this all the time,
(34:56):
and sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
I didn't intend for that.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Eventually, when I started inviting her to the McDonald's dates,
I had to tell her like, yeah, we're not going
to go fancy all the time. It's just a unique
time of year and it was a unique date. So
I get that part too, that maybe you want to
go above and beyond and how you show off on
that first date, even if it's not necessarily the way
you live life normally.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
I definitely had that thought when you said, oh, don't
worry about dressing up, We're just going to go to
a casual place. And I was curious if he was
just in a different.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Financial bracket group, Yeah, and he.
Speaker 5 (35:31):
Just assumed he just felt that that was a casual
place in comparison to all the armies, because I mean
that says something about how your relationship dynamic will be too.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
If that's how you felt that you're right.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
That is Yeah, if he thought that that was you know, casual,
and there's much fancier out there, then you're right. Then
maybe it is another big part too. But anyway, I
just love that it went viral and the internet overwhelmingly
sided with the woman because I think that the guy
is getting a bad rap. Even if he's a bad guy,
he's giving a bad rap to every other guy out there,
is what I should say, Cause again it does. It
feels awkward to be the dude that's like, now you
(36:02):
got to dress fancy. I want to see the dress.
I want to see everything, especially on the first date.
You know, it feels like you're putting the bar too
high for meeting someone. I feel like a first date
should really be like a coffee thing, and you should
convince someone to show up trying as you know, not
hard as possible, because that gives you a better sense
of who they are and not who they try to
(36:23):
be when they're at their fanciest.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Who knew I was going to be getting relationship advice
from Craig Collins.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
I like it though. That's the greatest advice is it
tell me the truth? It can be bad. Say it's bad.
I'm okay with that.
Speaker 5 (36:35):
I love the thought of getting coffee for a first date.
That's okay, but.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Well and not just not just that, but like doing
it without a lot of like makeup and stuff on,
like show up dressed down.
Speaker 5 (36:44):
Yeah, I've also been to like baseball games, and I
guess that was a date. So you make that aware of,
like set the expectation if it's going to be an
actual date or not.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Not just I love that you said that.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
I love that you said that too, because that first date,
the like accidental first date with my wife that I
went on, I thought it was a date at the
moment that it was just me and her, and there
was definitely, like you know, interest that seemed to be
between us. She didn't realize it till the end of
the evening when I made a move. I thought it
was a date because it was just two of us
the whole time.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
I don't know, So, yes, I get that into communication.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Communication Does that are just at some point try to
kiss somebody and see if they kiss back, and then
you're fine. Although that's probably not good advice for today's society.
Quick break a lot more Craig Collins filling in on
