Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Kendall and Casey Show, ninety three WIBC.
My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be
with you. A bunch of stuff to talk about. During
that last break, I found audio of steven A. Smith
talking about President Trump with a lot of bad words
in there. Not steven A being critical of Trump, by
the way, but Stephen A saying how Democrats screwed up
(00:22):
by vilifying Trump as much as they did leading up
to the election and trying to throw them in jail.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
That was another thing.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I've cleaned up this audio as best I could in
just a few minutes. There are no bad words in it.
I don't think there's any bleep sound, so I think
you're not even going to be able to tell that
some bad words are in here. But let's go ahead
and play on this, and let's hope for the Let's
risk it for the biscuit. Is the way that a
friend of mine in radio says all the time. Because
I think the audio is actually pretty good, and I've
warned Kylon enough times indirectly that a bad word might
(00:51):
have been met.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
No, I'm kidding. I think all the bad words are
out here. We go.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I told him what Trump let it go? What you're
trying to put him in jail for? They did everything
they could to prevent him from being the president. Trump
ain't going after these people, man, because of the election.
He going after these people because they tried to get
him to spend the rest of his life. Where is it?
He approached it eighty years old and you tried to
throw him behind bass He coming.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, I jumped some words in there, so we're good.
No bad words came out. And he kept going steven
A about how you know he's coming after these bleeping
people because of the thing they tried to do to him.
But yeah, that is essentially the argument I've made before
on why if anyone thinks that there's political prosecution, which
I don't actually think is happening as much as mainstream
(01:36):
media does, of course in this current term, this current administration.
But if anybody thinks any that's occurring at all, or
even just some of the falling out of relationships, some
of that might be tied to the fact that they
almost got Trump to go to jail, or at least
they tried very hard to make that happen. And I
think I would also add they try to kill him
into that discussion. And so if you're someone in a
(01:59):
position of power, you know, I thought about.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
It this way. This is a weird way to talk
about it.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Some places that I've worked in my life in radio
and media. I'm not here at WIBC, where I'm just
a part timer, but it's awesome to work for this organization.
But some other places I've worked, they haven't had the
same acceptance of the mission statement at all levels. What
I mean by that is, if you have a conservative
leaning station, but you have people within the company who
(02:27):
do not lean conservative, those people might not want the
station that you have to succeed that disagrees with them.
And they could be sales directors, they could be news directors,
they could be all kinds of people. There are people
who are at odds with the mission of the organization
they work for, and that's bad. That doesn't turn out good,
and especially in the world of media, it significantly makes
(02:50):
things worse. And so I've been at places where as
things progressed and even as success is being found and
like ratings are turning out good and whatnot, there's people
actively cheering against you and sort of trying to harm
you along the way. And the reason I'm saying this
is not to complain about my career. That would be
fun and cathartic, but that's not the point of this.
(03:11):
The point is I always fantasize what it would be
like to become in charge of those places. The place
is where there were roadblocks that shouldn't exist. And I
think anybody who say, has somebody at work at whatever
the job is you do, who you feel like is
standing in your way and trying to prevent you from
whatever the success is, whether it's jumping over them in
the chain, which of course I guess people might do
(03:33):
that if they think that you're going to, you know,
rise above wherever they're at. A lot of resentment can
take place in those situation, whatever it might be.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I don't care what the reason.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Is, but anyway, I think a lot of people fantasize
about just firing everybody. You get in that position of power.
As soon as you you know, are in a role
where you can actually impact the people who've been impacting you.
You want to do as much negative as you can
and then think of it times a million. If you're
the president of the United States, and you get into a
position of power where every system they had, you know,
(04:05):
at their disposal, they tried to use against you. What
would you do is the question of that? How would
you behave? And I'll go even a step further. And
I don't know if this is controversial per se to say,
but darn it, we're here.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I'm going to do it anyway.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
When the Rob Reiner posts came out for President Trump
after Rob Reiner was horrifically killed by likely his son,
I only say likely because that court case isn't over yet,
but likely killed his own son in a you know,
horrible way. And then Trump's post comes out, and it
does at the beginning, I'm going to put this out
there too, at the beginning and the end of the post, it.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Does say it's tragic or horrible.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
But then the whole middle is a person who's very
you know, very much not happy with the individual that
Rob Reiner was when he was alive, very much showing
his dislike of that person. A most of media, even
a lot of conservative outlet's, attack Trump for this. They
said that it looked bad. And I'll be honest, it's
not the kind of thing I would do. I would not,
I think, attack someone who is just killed. However, if
(05:05):
you're trying to humanize people and not think of all
of the individuals in society as different than us, like
they're all just people too, even President Trump, then the
amount of anger that Trump specifically had for Reiner could
start to make a little more sense.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Granted, I think even Joe Rogan, who is the one
who put up the Stephen A. Smith audio, but that's
why I mentioned Rogan. Even Joe Rogan has said recently
that it's just a bad look. It's just not what
in empathetic society should look like to attack somebody after
they've been murdered. And I get it, I understand the position.
But if we're just being people, like the amount of
(05:42):
people who wake up every day and just hate Trump
to a degree that's sort of amazing, and they hate
him regardless of what he does, regardless of what he says.
If they think that there's something he said or done
that means that their hate is justified, it's long over
and they definitely don't care anymore about what he says
or does. And some of these people are important, Some
(06:03):
of these people have, you know, platforms of their own
or followings, or you know, money to donate to campaigns.
All of those things are things that you deal with
as the person in a position of power. And I'm
not trying to make the Trump the victim here. That's
not the intention of this, although I'm sure that in
his own mind he might see that at times being
a thing that's true. But what I think is really
(06:24):
interesting about that is that again, you're just a person.
You're just a people, which is the way that i'd
say it to my wife. She likes to say it
that way. So you're just somebody out there in society
that's that's living a certain way. And and here, I
guess is the spin of this. And this might not matter.
It's the holidays, this is an older story. I couldn't
(06:44):
help feeling it connected out of this segment that I'm
talking about now. And I know I've mentioned Charlie Kirk
a lot on this show, more so than I think
I've mentioned even filling in for Tony Katz over.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
The last few days.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
But I will say that that The Vitriolic responds to
the murder of Charlie Kirk by everyday people, just a
ton of people who might have felt as though they
had every right to be mad at Charlie. Showed me
more about society than the way that one person, no
matter how important that person in society is, even if
it's the president, reacts to the death of someone else,
(07:19):
because it was not all of conservative media or a
bunch of conservative seeming people that are online, you know,
a loud people that were celebrating the death of Rob
Bryan or I'm certainly not celebrating the death of that
person whatsoever, or saying that it's deserved or any of
that crap. And so that to me was the bigger
takeaway is that when you look at the totality of
(07:41):
the response to something and you see one version of
it and a different version of it. And I think
that's the biggest mistake people make in politics right now.
And I mean this about the left more than anybody else.
And I have a bunch of people that are still
friends of mine that I see they're crazy posts about
Trump all the time. I think the left looks for
(08:02):
a way to blame voters for the behavior of President Trump.
Whatever Trump does, the people that are angry at him,
they want to also be angry at Maga or whatever
they call it whatever the thing is out there that
they think is bad, and so the behavior of one
becomes the assumed behavior of all. And granted, a whole
lot of people might agree with the stuff he does
(08:23):
or the way he acts, or not care about it, whatever,
and that's totally fine. I get that.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I understand that.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But by and large, when I'm talking to someone who
tells me how awful this behavior is, it's Trump's behavior,
and they want to put it on the feet of
other people. When you do it the opposite way, it's
usually the behavior of mass media or social media and
the way that they censored certain things. It's usually a
whole lot of not famous voices that are collectively saying
(08:53):
a thing. It's the hive mind that comes out, the
mind virus, as I think Elon Musk has called it.
That's interesting to me because one of them is a
reflection of a totality of people, or at least a
subset of a larger group, and one's just one person.
So why do we so often talk about the behavior
of one person as if it's a reflection of all
the people who voted for that individual, bad or good.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I'm not trying to crap on Trump in this segment.
That's not the point.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I'm actually not even really trying on purpose to give
a lot of my opinions of a lot of this.
But truthfully, the reason why I think it's interesting is
that so very often I feel as though I'm put
in a position with friends of mine on the other side,
to defend the behavior of one person as opposed to
when I ask a question, it's really the behavior of
tons of people who all seem to think that they
(09:40):
have the right to behave the way they do, and
that seems bad. All right, we'll take a break on that.
We'll come back and talk about some more fun stuff.
I didn't mean to get a deep dive philosophical on
the show. If that's even what we just did there,
I just can't help it. It's the holidays. I feel
like there's only so much news that you want to
hear about, and only so much news I want to
talk about.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
So who knows. We'll do more of this, but we'll
keep you informed in everything.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I will talk about Ukraine and the United States and Russia,
because that's a big story that's out there. I will
keep you informed in everything. I will also have some
fun in just a bit. This is Craig Collins filling
in on Kendall and Casey ninety three WIBC. This is
the Kendall and Casey Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
(10:24):
stuff out there to talk about. I did see something
that I thought was kind of interesting, and I wonder
how much of this is actually just because of the
way that social media works today. But there are studies
that found that gen Z specifically is not a big
on alcohol. They're drinking less and less alcohol in general.
They're partying differently than say, generations before them partied. My generation,
(10:47):
I am a millennial, definitely partied the same way as
generations before us, and gen Z, for the most part,
seems to be less interested in booze than the ones
before it. But here's the Caveat at least according to
social profiler dot com, they are turning toward looking at
more salacious content online even at work. The not safe
(11:08):
for work content is what they call it. Whether this
is just stuff that's on social media where someone posts
something provocative and then somebody else interacts with it.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
And I think this is funny too.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
And this is a side study that's sort of tangentially
connected to this one. There's a lot of people that
say that many women interact with inappropriate photos of other
women online.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
And I have a theory.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
As to why that is by the way that it's
women who are responding to like the bikini picture of
their friend and not dudes that are going by and
large and responding to that. Because that was part of
the study. Is it said that men are not engaging
as much in this material in a way that they
could check and study and understand meaning publicly, as women
(11:51):
seem to be. And they thought that was interesting that
this generation seems less concerned with you know, quote not
safe for work stuff than they are with going out
and drinking. And I think Kylan is gen z. I
don't know if you want to weigh in on this
topic at all before I give you my theory as
to why they studied this and saw that more women
interact to the thirst trap photo of a friend online
(12:14):
than men do.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
But the overarching message the lack of alcohol.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
And the not being as you know, ashamed of interacting
with social media content that might be more salacious in nature,
even while at work.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I am gen Z, but I'm curious to hear about
your theory on this.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I would like to Yeah, let's get into fine, I'll
do the theory.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I think that the guys aren't interacting publicly because they
know they're going to get in trouble. I don't think
that they're not paying attention. I think that by and large,
if you have a you know, social media page that's
you showing off how attractive you are to society, a
whole lot of dudes are aware of it, you know.
Like I think they even say that a lot of
the influencers that are just like young attractive women joke
(12:58):
that their audience is predominantly met, which makes sense again
because it's just a different version of the same thing
we've seen before. But if you're someone studying it and
looking for who's liking and commenting on stuff, I think
it's much safer if it's female friends than if it's
a dude. I think that the dudes are going to
shy away from that. I would be curious to study
(13:18):
the amount of private messages that come into these accounts
and who those people are, if they're guys or women,
because I think you'd get a very different sense of
the attention and who's responding to it, if you could
see an extra layer that the study couldn't see. But
the study was saying that men buy and large or
not really commenting on this stuff. That it's women who
(13:39):
are doing it. And I think that that's the old
you go girl, I support you thing that seems more
appropriate in the internet society we have than a bunch
of dudes doing it. That's my theory is that the
study didn't actually reflect the amount of people paying attention,
just the amount of people publicly willing to demonstrate that
they were interested in something.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
I love this that we just have a whole bunch
of girls, girls out there.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Well that's the only thing that's allowed right now. I'm kidding.
I know everybody listening who thinks this is all dumb,
is like, you don't have to follow whatever rules people make.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
That's true, you don't. It's fine.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
But Matt Baher has joked a lot about when he
goes to the gym and how he has to stare
at the ceiling, as do I whenever I go to
that place, because you don't want someone mad at you.
You don't want someone to think you looked at them
and then get mad at you. I think social media
is the same thing. Like, if you're a dude out
there commenting, I'm gonna all right, I'm going to tell
you something. And I shouldn't do this, but I'm gonna
do it anyway because I think it's funny. I work
(14:33):
at a different place in radio, it's not WIBC, and
I went to work and a co worker who's a
little bit older than me and a guy had left
their Facebook open on the computer and I didn't look
at it. I wasn't like trying to. I was gonna
log out of it. But the post he left up
was him definitely hitting on a woman on the comment section,
(14:54):
like he said something about how good they looked and whatever.
And my first reaction was to be like, ah, man,
that's not going to go well for you.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Like the first thing I thought was this is going to.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Be a swing and a misattempt at trying to pick
up a woman on the internet because it's in public,
it's a comment under the thing, And yeah, I don't
think he's actually going to wind up meeting this young
woman that he was commenting on. I think that's the
society we live in now is people see those things
and think of them as not necessarily, you know, the
right way to go about connecting with a human.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
You don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I'm being very nice about how I'm discussing this, and
so yeah, I saw that, and I was like, dude,
this is a guy who obviously is of a different
generation and hoping this works, and it's probably not going
to work.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
No, I would agree with that.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
No notes, No notes, I don't think. Okay, do you
think that that's true?
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Though?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Also, do you feel like, as a friend of somebody
if they're posting something out there for whatever reason, Like
maybe they don't post this stuff all the time, but
maybe your female friend who buy and large has a
regular social media page, has thrown up the bikini photo
because they've been in the gym or something. As a
female friend of this person in a supportive way, do
you kind of feel a pressure to comment and be like,
(16:06):
way to go, this looks great?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Yeah you go girl.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Okay, See, I thought that guys do not feel that pressure.
We feel the exact opposite version of I really shouldn't
comment on this one. I need to go find the
artistic photo of her where she's not wearing a bathing suit,
and it's really more of a focus on a painting
or something and tell her how great that looks, and
hope for the best there instead of the one where
she's the ki I think SNL has made fun of
(16:31):
this too, by the way, I think I just described
an SNL bit, But anyway, I just thought that was
so funny. Is that again people were talking about the
difference in society now for men and women, and I
would really like to know the behind the scenes. I
think that, and probably not in a good way. There's
going to be a whole lot of direct messages coming
in from people that are not women saying things to
(16:52):
some of these young influencers that are out there in
the world.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
All Right, I'll shift gears.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
There's one other thing out there that I saw that
I thought was interesting, and this is actually also sillacious
in nature. I didn't do this on purpose, Kylon. These
are the topics I found. These are the things I found.
Apparently some people are creating what they think is a
more attractive Santa.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I don't know how I'm gona talk about this is
on the New York Post.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It is a holiday thing where someone would like to,
you know, dress like Santa Claus, but do it in
a fancier way to where you actually look good. There
are guys who have like red suits on that aren't
the typical Santa suit with Italian stuff. And apparently this
is a thing that guys on social media are trying
(17:38):
to make Santa a more attractive dude but also look
like Santa, and women are responding well to the attempt
to make Sannah more modely and less like you know,
big jolly fat guy. I don't know what you think
of this topic, but my complaint, and my complaint is
the same all the time with this stuff, is you
don't need to go these roads. Man Like, Halloween ruins
(18:00):
a lot of characters that are not inherently attractive that
then Halloween tries to make attractive, Like the person who
goes out dressed a SpongeBob SquarePants and wants SpongeBob to
be a hot lady.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
That does not make sense to me. That is not
a good move.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
The same feels true here that anyone who's trying to
create a more attractive version of Santa is missing the
point of Santa Claus entirely. He does not need to
be an attractive dude. He needs to be a jolly
older guy with a big, big belly who I wind
up wanting presents from.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
That's exactly what it is. It doesn't have to be
anything else. You want to comment on this one or
do you want to take the fifth.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
There absolutely is an audience for it. I'm not there,
but I've seen so many things about events for like
Magic Mike, Santa Night type of things.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yet yeah, the whole thing. Yeah, yeah, it's weird. Yeah, okay, good.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I'm glad that you're not going to pretend this isn't real,
because apparently the New York Post is saying it's real
and you've seen it too, So yes, it's odd. I
don't know why people want to do this. Maybe it's
a challenge of it. Like I kind of think this
is going to be an overly nice way to describe this.
Artistic people like to do artistically challenging things. I know
that for a fact as someone who I think is
(19:11):
at times artistic. And so maybe somebody somewhere is sitting
in the corner of a room planning their next show
and saying to themselves, you know, it would be really
tough to make Sanna somebody who's hot, and then they
try to do that, They try to make that show
and have an audience that goes to it and responds
well to it, because it's artistically more challenging than making
someone that's you know, not traditionally thought of as attractive hot.
(19:34):
This is the same thing I think I see on
Halloween when I see young women dressed as stuff that
shouldn't be hot, like hot SpongeBob and hot Patrick, and
yet they tried to turn it into something that's attractive.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
It just confuses me. The male brain is simplistic.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
It just makes it odd and confusing to see that
stuff out there and wonder why I now have to have,
you know, a competing thought in my brain about something
that I thought was very easy out there.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Anything else you want to say about this or no.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
I think you put it pretty pretty plainly simplicity, right.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Beg you beg you Kylin. You're like, yeah, let's move on,
let's change the topic. We'll take a break, we'll do
more things in just a bit.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I love running out of time on adult topic segments
because then we can't even blame me. We just have
to blame the fact that we're stopping now on the commercial,
but we'll be back in a bit. This is Craig
Collins filling in on Kendall and Casey ninety three WIBC.
This is the Kendall in Casey Show, ninety three WIBC.
My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Just a quick
(20:32):
sweep of some of the bigger things out there in
the news. President Trump sat down with Vladimir's Lensky and
it seems like things went very well. It seems as
though they're sit down in Florida. By and large, has
the United States and Ukraine in the same place, with
the same objective and ending a four year war between
Russia and Ukraine that Russia started, Russia invaded them, all
(20:54):
those things, and you've definitely heard in the station. And
I continue to praise Tony Katz. I'm not trying to.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I know that's not his show, the one I'm doing
right now.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
But he's done a really great job of talking about
this issue, and I think helping people understand that Ukraine
was going to wind up giving things up in some
sort of peace deal because no one else was going
to put boots on the ground and fight, not that
I think it's a good idea, And I don't mean
to speak for Tony, but I think I get the
sense that he didn't think it was a good idea either.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
But if you actually.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Wanted to defeat Russia in a way that would have
benefited Ukraine, you would have had to help them with
military bodies, not just military equipment. And so I do
think it's really interesting that, even though people are upset,
that that's the likely scenario here, that it's going to happen.
There is also the US's offer for a fifteen year
security guarantee as part of a peace plan. It does
(21:46):
have an expiration date, but it would be an amount
of time in which, once everything is parsed out, once
all the different pieces are agreed to, if Russia does
something to be provocative, the United States would have an
in simply, you know, obvious, in writing black and white
way in which they would respond with more strength, respond
(22:07):
beyond the way of sending just weapons and things to Ukraine.
So that feels as though it's the path that Ukraine
most wants. If they give in, they want to make
sure that there is a protection for whatever is left,
which would be a significant part of the country. Of course,
the only things that are really being discussed to give
away are things that were long contested areas like the
Donbas region. Anyone that doesn't know much about that area,
(22:31):
and you probably know a lot more over the last
few years than you might have known before it. There
were areas that were essentially having a proxy war where
Russia would be supporting a force that wasn't necessarily its
military but behaved like it against Ukraine in these long
contested areas.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Now it seems that some of.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Those areas, most of those areas would probably be surrendered
to Russia and then the rest of Ukraine would stay
the way it is. But anyway, that's a big story
that's out there news. Winter storms are a big story
throughout the country on the East coast and of course
in Indianapolis, where things are getting colder and crazier very quickly.
It's just I'll say this, it's mean. I don't know
(23:10):
how to say that differently. I remember all the time
making jokes about that, my wife making jokes about that
that like mother Nature is mean, or whoever you want
to call it. Is to have like a really nice
Christmas and then have immediately terrible weather after Christmas. It's
the inverse of what you want. You want the winter
day to happen on Christmas Day, and then when you
(23:30):
get tempted by the oh my god, it's so lovely outside,
it's so fancy and nice, or at least it's not miserable.
If it's not quite as warm in some places as others,
at least it's not you know, freezing and terrible, and
then all of a sudden you go right back to
getting kicked in the teeth. That is the hardest thing
about living in the Midwest is the fluctuation of weather.
That one day it'll be sixty, the next day it'll
be negative tent and you just have to live with that.
(23:52):
I do think that that's something that's out there, and
I think that that stinks, and it's been that way
for a very long time. This is not a version
of me talking about any changes in climate in our society.
That's not the point, and I love when people do that.
By the way, I think I've talked about this before.
I don't know if it's here, but I have mentioned
before how entertained I am when people tell me that
(24:14):
like shockingly good weather is an indication that climate change
is a horrible problem in our society because I like
to do the opposite. I want to be the person
that's fear mongering about, you know, the cold snap that's
tending us back into the dark ages of you know,
all the things that happened when everything was frozen in
the world, because that never happens. Man, whenever we have
(24:36):
a uniquely cold day in the middle of the summer
or some other time. These same people that are out
there screaming about how bad things are don't do the opposite.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
And I think they.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Should just at least do that because it entertained me more.
It makes more fun for me. And I'm a millennial.
I'm someone who grew up being taught about climate change
in school. I'm not necessarily trying to tell you that
none of it exists, but I think the version of
it that people talk about is overly dramaticized and crazy,
and it winds up being not true all the time.
The projections are always wrong. And even more than that,
(25:08):
the solution to any of this is not to give
the government a bunch of money, because if we're learning
anything in Minnesota or elsewhere, it's if you want to
fix a problem. The last thing you should do is
give a whole bunch more money to the government is
they'll make it worse, not better, and they'll lose a
lot of the money and steal a lot of the
money along the way. But anyway, let's move on to
other things out there. I thought this was interesting. The
(25:28):
economy doing pretty well according to many people. The CEO
of Bank of America popped up on face the nation
to say that there's three different things that he pays
attention to, and all of those seem to be trending
in the right direction. Whether or not you feel it
right now is probably unlikely to be true. And I
(25:49):
think mostly because of the time of year. To be honest,
there were times during the Biden administration where they said
that the inflation of certain things was transitory. They were
wrong about all that. The high prices that we were
paying on stuff never went the other way, never went back.
It was horrible and terrible and a tremendous failure of
(26:09):
the Biden administration to have things get so expensive so quickly,
and probably a byproduct of a war on oil and
gas and energy that makes things as expensive as they are.
But what's interesting to me is that right now is
the time of year where people spend way more money
than they have, regardless of how well the economy is doing.
(26:30):
Most people choose to overspend on the holidays for the
loved ones, for their friends, for whoever they think that
they need to get stuff for. So it's a very
difficult time to say, hey, things are going better than
I thought, because you're more likely to be cash strapped
now than at any other time during the year.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
But here I'll play the audio of the CEO.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Of Bank of America saying to him things are going well,
and the economy itself was doing better than people expected.
I think a full point in Q three more than
expected for the amount of growth and the amount of
spending that we're seeing. And again that might be partially
a byproduct of what I'm saying about the time of
year it is.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
But hey, good news is good news. But here we go.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Is that still though stilted towards the upper income bracte?
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Is it that K shaped economy?
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Some people, Yeah, talk about our team. It looks at this, Yes,
it's the growth freight difference is higher, but all the
all the third or third or third all three thirds
are growing and so continue. And that's been continuous, and
so that that's the question. They grow at different rates,
but they're all growing, which all means are putting more
(27:36):
money the economy they did this time last year.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
All right, that's good.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
He's saying again that the people at the top are
making more money that their income.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
There.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
You know, financial successes is going a certain direction. But
and K shaped is an interesting term for it, when
really the Bank of America is saying more E shaped.
He's saying more every single layer is doing well, not
the middle layer is doing poorly, which is used what
the people unfaced the nation. I want to tell you,
whether you believe that or not, whether you experience that
(28:04):
or not, it seems to be the underlying truth.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Also, I thought this was interesting.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
This is Scott Jennings talking about the success that existed
within the economy and then also talking about the success
that's existed within immigration. And I know there are people
that think that Trump is going way too far, doing
way too much as far as the amount of people
that are here illegally that are not going to be
allowed to stay. But this was a campaign promise that
he made. He said that he would fix this and
(28:32):
it got tremendously worse under Biden. It got so bad,
And this is always sort of the barometer for me
that I think is interesting that the South Side of
Chicago overwhelmingly liberal, overwhelmingly minorities, mostly black people who live
in the South Side of Chicago. They were complaining that
they thought the immigration system was broken and too much
(28:52):
money was going to communities.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
That weren't theirs, and how unfair it was.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
And that's a group of people that overwhelmingly vote, you know,
democratic politicians into positions of power, whether it's mayors in Chicago, presidents,
what have you. They were likely to be turning on
the people that you know they typically vote for because
they're upset that things are going in the direction they're going. So,
how do you fix something that gets that broken disproportionately?
(29:18):
How do you seesaw it back the other way? You
do what Trump is doing. You might have to significantly
change the amount of people who are currently here and
do it in a way where even a lot of
mainstream media outlets and others complain that like you're ripping
mothers from their families, even though buy and large it's
not actually true. But I think that this is the
way you respond to someone doing what Biden did while
(29:40):
he was in office. But here's Jennings talking about it
and how it is also simply a campaign promise that's
been fulfilled.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
Well, look, I think on the immigration piece, it's been
as big as success this year. It's the biggest promise fulfilled.
We've had two and a half million people deported. A
significant number of the more self deported, you know, they
use the government's app or just decided to leave the
country altogether.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
And by the way, he says, the significant number one
point nine million of the two point five million people
left on their own, they left with cash in their hands.
I think they get three thousand right now. They were
getting a thousand before it. So a vast majority of
the people, eighty percent of the individuals who've left this
country during this term in office so far for the president,
(30:24):
have done so of their own choosing. That feels important
to mention too, to the people who are saying, you
know that ICE is this horrible organization that's ruining lives
and families throughout the country that feels disconnected from the
simple stat here we're going.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
So when I talked to Republicans and Trump supporters around
the country. They're more than thrilled with the aggressive nature
of it. You know, we haven't passed any new immigration
laws since Donald Trump became the president. Again, we're just
enforcing the laws that we have, something the previous administration
would not do. So I know the left is treated
this as some big controversy, but I don't know what's
controversial about the president just simply enforcing the laws that
(30:59):
are on the books.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yeah, I don't know what it's controversial about that either, Scott.
And even more important than that, and this is what
I think is really interesting is is Trump is not
alone as far as a president who has deported people.
Outside of Biden, You've seen deportations and quite a few
of them in other administrations. Even the Obama administration had
deported a lot of people. And how dare they do that?
I was not, for some reason, the reaction of mainstream media.
(31:21):
It's just this time around, because you don't want any
success to be success. You want everything to be a failure,
one way or another, whatever it might be. That to
me is essentially the way that mainstream media wakes up
in the morning and decides they're going to cover Trump
is that it has to be bad.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
It has to be terrible.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
We have to find out how, and mostly it has
to be just identity terrible. It has to be identity politics.
He's a bad person. He's racist, he's sexist, he's something
as opposed to you know, he's simply now enforcing a
law that did exist before and the previous administration didn't
want to enforce for a bunch of political reasons. All right, Well,
take a break. A lot coming up. Greg Collins filling
(31:59):
in ending Casey ninety three WYBC. This is the Kendall
and Casey Show on ninety three WIBC. My name is
Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be with you. Producer
Kylon is hanging out as well on special assignment. I
do like these stories when they come out, mostly because
it just means I feel smart, So that's always good.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
I think that's always a good thing.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
But apparently New York City teachers discovered the young people
teenagers can't read clocks. The reason that they discovered this
is they took away cell phones and then the kids
had no idea what time it was.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
I imagine this might be.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
A bit of an exaggeration. Although it might also be true.
But if you have like a clock in the back
of the room on the wall, the way that everybody
remembers in school, looking up at that thing and hoping
for it to go faster so you get to leave
and go home from school, Apparently the kids now have
no idea what's going on is they can't see the
digital version on their phone if it's in a bin
somewhere in the front of the room. I was just
(32:54):
very upsetic, apparently for the kids. But I find this
uniquely hilarious and also terrible. If you're in a school
system and you notice the children can't read a clock,
I feel like you take a whole day you teach
them that that's a life skill that they need. I
go ahead and throw out the math itinerary for the day,
and let's just do clocks until we get past that topic,
(33:16):
and then we'll go on to other things.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
I don't think schools do that enough.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
If you notice a problem that's very basic with a
large amount of the people in the school, let's go
ahead and switch the curriculum for twenty four hours to
get through that roadblock. We also need to bring back
things like shop class. I think the kids know how
to make stuff. But Kylin, did you want to weigh
in on the teenagers don't know how to read clock story?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
I would absolutely believe it.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
I had problems reading the clock growing up, and I
was taught it during school, So like them, not even
learning it is absolutely believable.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Yeah, yeah, they.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
I think it's also fine if you feel like you
need to be smarter, if you ever want like a
little confidence booster, sure, just remember that I went through
school without AI, without AI doing it working, I say, you, yep.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Anything, Yes, I know, I'm aware of this. I went
through a school without a whole lot of that existing
at all. AI couldn't do anything for me, and not
even just AI, there were even other cheats that didn't exist.
The best thing I had was spark notes. I don't
know if you even know what that is.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Do you know what that is?
Speaker 5 (34:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Yeah, okay, spark notes. Yeah okay, good, I didn't know.
I don't know who knows what that is. Spark Notes
was when you could not read a book, but you
could read the abridged version in the highlights of the
book online on a specific website and then feel like
you kind of knew what it was My favorite as
far as the way cheating used to work in college,
and I didn't do this, but it did happen, is
when someone noticed that you copy and pasted something out
(34:41):
of Wikipedia and then put it into your paper, and
then you got in trouble for it.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
I had a buddy that did that.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Multiple times, and every time it failed because it was
way too easy to check in on why that was
a thing he was doing. And I love the fact
that every time it happened, he was still mystified.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
He's like, I don't know how they figured it out.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
I only took that one paragraph entirely from Wikipedia, but
that was our version of AI, the Internet version of
the Encyclopedia. I was the closest we got. But now
everybody writes, you know, my mom's a teacher. I don't
know if I've mentioned this before. She's mostly a guidance counselor,
but she actually teaches classes too, from college courses and
whatnot in Indiana. Actually is where she lives. I don't
(35:19):
want to say where because she always gets mad at
me want to do that. But anyway, she uses AI
to grade papers. She's told me this before, and her
favorite part of AI helping her grade the paper. Is
it identifies if it's if it's grading other AI.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
It tries to tell. It's like, we think this is AI.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
You don't know for sure, but apparently it's competing against itself,
you know, where the one AI writes the thing and
the other AI decides if it's a real thing or
if it's actually artificial intelligence that wrote it.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
My sister is a ghost copywriter and has to do
similar fantastic where she ghost writes for whatever the assignment is.
Oh yeah, and for turning it in, she has to
put it through this AI tester so they know that
she didn't use AI. And when she puts it through,
even though she wrote all of it, she puts it
through and then has to rewrite everything because they believe
(36:08):
it's AI because wow, how it was done.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Yeah, it's pros and cons.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
You know.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
I wonder.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
I wonder because here let's do something that's a little
bit liberal in nature, where you blame somebody for something.
I wonder if the robots are being humanists, if they
think that we're too smart and so then they say,
now this's got to be us. This has got to
be computers and not humans. And so then they claim
that it's AI when it's just a smart human that's
doing a thing.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
I think that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
I think it's it's human racism by the computers that
are out there.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
In the world. I love that. I'm definitely kidding. I
don't know where we've gotten. Yeah, tongue in cheek saying that,
by the way, but.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
We need to bring back the life skills classes like
you said, like shop class, you're cooking and you're sewing
all of it.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Absolutely, yeah, No, I think a great day in school
would be like just to puncture somebody's tire and see
what happens. Like all the kids get to school and
then you pop a tire. Maybe you have the spare
ready and you're like, children, fix this, and if they
can't do it, that's bad.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
We got to do other things. Do you know how
to change a tire on a car?
Speaker 4 (37:06):
I sure do, Okay, I learned that dad. Yep, my
dad had a flat when I was in the car
with him. So he's like, all right, learning lesson, let's.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Go come on out. You know what's funny about this?
I don't.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
I'm not trying to break bad on the missus I
love my wife. She's awesome, she's amazing. She's from Mexico.
In Mexico, just like in New Jersey where I was born,
you don't pump your own gas. That people pump it
for you. You pull up, they do everything, You do nothing.
And so my wife, even though she definitely knows how
to do it now and it's not that hard, still
freaks out every time she pulls up at the gas
(37:37):
station to pump the gas and then makes me go
with her and do it for her because she thinks
she's gonna do something wrong. She thinks the gas is
gonna spill all over the place.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
I think that's hilarious and also a way for me
to be a man that saves the day, which is
something that most men want to be. I think quite
often we need to be called in to save the
day in any situation. If you have a can that's
too tight and I need to open it instead of you,
I feel like a a spartan for the rest of
the day because I open that can. The same is
(38:07):
true when I pump her gas. But I just love
the fact that it's just it's a life thing. She
didn't experience it where she was all right. I think
I did that nicely. We'll take a break. More coming
up in a bit. Craig Collin's filling in on the
Kendall and Casey Show.
This is the Kendall and Casey Show, ninety three WIBC.
My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be
with you. A bunch of stuff to talk about. During
that last break, I found audio of steven A. Smith
talking about President Trump with a lot of bad words
in there. Not steven A being critical of Trump, by
the way, but Stephen A saying how Democrats screwed up
(00:22):
by vilifying Trump as much as they did leading up
to the election and trying to throw them in jail.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
That was another thing.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I've cleaned up this audio as best I could in
just a few minutes. There are no bad words in it.
I don't think there's any bleep sound, so I think
you're not even going to be able to tell that
some bad words are in here. But let's go ahead
and play on this, and let's hope for the Let's
risk it for the biscuit. Is the way that a
friend of mine in radio says all the time. Because
I think the audio is actually pretty good, and I've
warned Kylon enough times indirectly that a bad word might
(00:51):
have been met.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
No, I'm kidding. I think all the bad words are
out here. We go.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I told him what Trump let it go? What you're
trying to put him in jail for? They did everything
they could to prevent him from being the president. Trump
ain't going after these people, man, because of the election.
He going after these people because they tried to get
him to spend the rest of his life. Where is it?
He approached it eighty years old and you tried to
throw him behind bass He coming.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, I jumped some words in there, so we're good.
No bad words came out. And he kept going steven
A about how you know he's coming after these bleeping
people because of the thing they tried to do to him.
But yeah, that is essentially the argument I've made before
on why if anyone thinks that there's political prosecution, which
I don't actually think is happening as much as mainstream
(01:36):
media does, of course in this current term, this current administration.
But if anybody thinks any that's occurring at all, or
even just some of the falling out of relationships, some
of that might be tied to the fact that they
almost got Trump to go to jail, or at least
they tried very hard to make that happen. And I
think I would also add they try to kill him
into that discussion. And so if you're someone in a
(01:59):
position of power, you know, I thought about.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
It this way. This is a weird way to talk
about it.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Some places that I've worked in my life in radio
and media. I'm not here at WIBC, where I'm just
a part timer, but it's awesome to work for this organization.
But some other places I've worked, they haven't had the
same acceptance of the mission statement at all levels. What
I mean by that is, if you have a conservative
leaning station, but you have people within the company who
(02:27):
do not lean conservative, those people might not want the
station that you have to succeed that disagrees with them.
And they could be sales directors, they could be news directors,
they could be all kinds of people. There are people
who are at odds with the mission of the organization
they work for, and that's bad. That doesn't turn out good,
and especially in the world of media, it significantly makes
(02:50):
things worse. And so I've been at places where as
things progressed and even as success is being found and
like ratings are turning out good and whatnot, there's people
actively cheering against you and sort of trying to harm
you along the way. And the reason I'm saying this
is not to complain about my career. That would be
fun and cathartic, but that's not the point of this.
(03:11):
The point is I always fantasize what it would be
like to become in charge of those places. The place
is where there were roadblocks that shouldn't exist. And I
think anybody who say, has somebody at work at whatever
the job is you do, who you feel like is
standing in your way and trying to prevent you from
whatever the success is, whether it's jumping over them in
the chain, which of course I guess people might do
(03:33):
that if they think that you're going to, you know,
rise above wherever they're at. A lot of resentment can
take place in those situation, whatever it might be.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I don't care what the reason.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Is, but anyway, I think a lot of people fantasize
about just firing everybody. You get in that position of power.
As soon as you you know, are in a role
where you can actually impact the people who've been impacting you.
You want to do as much negative as you can
and then think of it times a million. If you're
the president of the United States, and you get into a
position of power where every system they had, you know,
(04:05):
at their disposal, they tried to use against you. What
would you do is the question of that? How would
you behave? And I'll go even a step further. And
I don't know if this is controversial per se to say,
but darn it, we're here.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I'm going to do it anyway.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
When the Rob Reiner posts came out for President Trump
after Rob Reiner was horrifically killed by likely his son,
I only say likely because that court case isn't over yet,
but likely killed his own son in a you know,
horrible way. And then Trump's post comes out, and it
does at the beginning, I'm going to put this out
there too, at the beginning and the end of the post, it.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Does say it's tragic or horrible.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
But then the whole middle is a person who's very
you know, very much not happy with the individual that
Rob Reiner was when he was alive, very much showing
his dislike of that person. A most of media, even
a lot of conservative outlet's, attack Trump for this. They
said that it looked bad. And I'll be honest, it's
not the kind of thing I would do. I would not,
I think, attack someone who is just killed. However, if
(05:05):
you're trying to humanize people and not think of all
of the individuals in society as different than us, like
they're all just people too, even President Trump, then the
amount of anger that Trump specifically had for Reiner could
start to make a little more sense.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Granted, I think even Joe Rogan, who is the one
who put up the Stephen A. Smith audio, but that's
why I mentioned Rogan. Even Joe Rogan has said recently
that it's just a bad look. It's just not what
in empathetic society should look like to attack somebody after
they've been murdered. And I get it, I understand the position.
But if we're just being people, like the amount of
(05:42):
people who wake up every day and just hate Trump
to a degree that's sort of amazing, and they hate
him regardless of what he does, regardless of what he says.
If they think that there's something he said or done
that means that their hate is justified, it's long over
and they definitely don't care anymore about what he says
or does. And some of these people are important, Some
(06:03):
of these people have, you know, platforms of their own
or followings, or you know, money to donate to campaigns.
All of those things are things that you deal with
as the person in a position of power. And I'm
not trying to make the Trump the victim here. That's
not the intention of this, although I'm sure that in
his own mind he might see that at times being
a thing that's true. But what I think is really
(06:24):
interesting about that is that again, you're just a person.
You're just a people, which is the way that i'd
say it to my wife. She likes to say it
that way. So you're just somebody out there in society
that's that's living a certain way. And and here, I
guess is the spin of this. And this might not matter.
It's the holidays, this is an older story. I couldn't
(06:44):
help feeling it connected out of this segment that I'm
talking about now. And I know I've mentioned Charlie Kirk
a lot on this show, more so than I think
I've mentioned even filling in for Tony Katz over.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
The last few days.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
But I will say that that The Vitriolic responds to
the murder of Charlie Kirk by everyday people, just a
ton of people who might have felt as though they
had every right to be mad at Charlie. Showed me
more about society than the way that one person, no
matter how important that person in society is, even if
it's the president, reacts to the death of someone else,
(07:19):
because it was not all of conservative media or a
bunch of conservative seeming people that are online, you know,
a loud people that were celebrating the death of Rob
Bryan or I'm certainly not celebrating the death of that
person whatsoever, or saying that it's deserved or any of
that crap. And so that to me was the bigger
takeaway is that when you look at the totality of
(07:41):
the response to something and you see one version of
it and a different version of it. And I think
that's the biggest mistake people make in politics right now.
And I mean this about the left more than anybody else.
And I have a bunch of people that are still
friends of mine that I see they're crazy posts about
Trump all the time. I think the left looks for
(08:02):
a way to blame voters for the behavior of President Trump.
Whatever Trump does, the people that are angry at him,
they want to also be angry at Maga or whatever
they call it whatever the thing is out there that
they think is bad, and so the behavior of one
becomes the assumed behavior of all. And granted, a whole
lot of people might agree with the stuff he does
(08:23):
or the way he acts, or not care about it, whatever,
and that's totally fine. I get that.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I understand that.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But by and large, when I'm talking to someone who
tells me how awful this behavior is, it's Trump's behavior,
and they want to put it on the feet of
other people. When you do it the opposite way, it's
usually the behavior of mass media or social media and
the way that they censored certain things. It's usually a
whole lot of not famous voices that are collectively saying
(08:53):
a thing. It's the hive mind that comes out, the
mind virus, as I think Elon Musk has called it.
That's interesting to me because one of them is a
reflection of a totality of people, or at least a
subset of a larger group, and one's just one person.
So why do we so often talk about the behavior
of one person as if it's a reflection of all
the people who voted for that individual, bad or good.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I'm not trying to crap on Trump in this segment.
That's not the point.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I'm actually not even really trying on purpose to give
a lot of my opinions of a lot of this.
But truthfully, the reason why I think it's interesting is
that so very often I feel as though I'm put
in a position with friends of mine on the other side,
to defend the behavior of one person as opposed to
when I ask a question, it's really the behavior of
tons of people who all seem to think that they
(09:40):
have the right to behave the way they do, and
that seems bad. All right, we'll take a break on that.
We'll come back and talk about some more fun stuff.
I didn't mean to get a deep dive philosophical on
the show. If that's even what we just did there,
I just can't help it. It's the holidays. I feel
like there's only so much news that you want to
hear about, and only so much news I want to
talk about.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
So who knows. We'll do more of this, but we'll
keep you informed in everything.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I will talk about Ukraine and the United States and Russia,
because that's a big story that's out there. I will
keep you informed in everything. I will also have some
fun in just a bit. This is Craig Collins filling
in on Kendall and Casey ninety three WIBC. This is
the Kendall and Casey Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
(10:24):
stuff out there to talk about. I did see something
that I thought was kind of interesting, and I wonder
how much of this is actually just because of the
way that social media works today. But there are studies
that found that gen Z specifically is not a big
on alcohol. They're drinking less and less alcohol in general.
They're partying differently than say, generations before them partied. My generation,
(10:47):
I am a millennial, definitely partied the same way as
generations before us, and gen Z, for the most part,
seems to be less interested in booze than the ones
before it. But here's the Caveat at least according to
social profiler dot com, they are turning toward looking at
more salacious content online even at work. The not safe
(11:08):
for work content is what they call it. Whether this
is just stuff that's on social media where someone posts
something provocative and then somebody else interacts with it.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
And I think this is funny too.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
And this is a side study that's sort of tangentially
connected to this one. There's a lot of people that
say that many women interact with inappropriate photos of other
women online.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
And I have a theory.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
As to why that is by the way that it's
women who are responding to like the bikini picture of
their friend and not dudes that are going by and
large and responding to that. Because that was part of
the study. Is it said that men are not engaging
as much in this material in a way that they
could check and study and understand meaning publicly, as women
(11:51):
seem to be. And they thought that was interesting that
this generation seems less concerned with you know, quote not
safe for work stuff than they are with going out
and drinking. And I think Kylan is gen z. I
don't know if you want to weigh in on this
topic at all before I give you my theory as
to why they studied this and saw that more women
interact to the thirst trap photo of a friend online
(12:14):
than men do.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
But the overarching message the lack of alcohol.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
And the not being as you know, ashamed of interacting
with social media content that might be more salacious in nature,
even while at work.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I am gen Z, but I'm curious to hear about
your theory on this.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I would like to Yeah, let's get into fine, I'll
do the theory.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I think that the guys aren't interacting publicly because they
know they're going to get in trouble. I don't think
that they're not paying attention. I think that by and large,
if you have a you know, social media page that's
you showing off how attractive you are to society, a
whole lot of dudes are aware of it, you know.
Like I think they even say that a lot of
the influencers that are just like young attractive women joke
(12:58):
that their audience is predominantly met, which makes sense again
because it's just a different version of the same thing
we've seen before. But if you're someone studying it and
looking for who's liking and commenting on stuff, I think
it's much safer if it's female friends than if it's
a dude. I think that the dudes are going to
shy away from that. I would be curious to study
(13:18):
the amount of private messages that come into these accounts
and who those people are, if they're guys or women,
because I think you'd get a very different sense of
the attention and who's responding to it, if you could
see an extra layer that the study couldn't see. But
the study was saying that men buy and large or
not really commenting on this stuff. That it's women who
(13:39):
are doing it. And I think that that's the old
you go girl, I support you thing that seems more
appropriate in the internet society we have than a bunch
of dudes doing it. That's my theory is that the
study didn't actually reflect the amount of people paying attention,
just the amount of people publicly willing to demonstrate that
they were interested in something.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
I love this that we just have a whole bunch
of girls, girls out there.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Well that's the only thing that's allowed right now. I'm kidding.
I know everybody listening who thinks this is all dumb,
is like, you don't have to follow whatever rules people make.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
That's true, you don't. It's fine.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
But Matt Baher has joked a lot about when he
goes to the gym and how he has to stare
at the ceiling, as do I whenever I go to
that place, because you don't want someone mad at you.
You don't want someone to think you looked at them
and then get mad at you. I think social media
is the same thing. Like, if you're a dude out
there commenting, I'm gonna all right, I'm going to tell
you something. And I shouldn't do this, but I'm gonna
do it anyway because I think it's funny. I work
(14:33):
at a different place in radio, it's not WIBC, and
I went to work and a co worker who's a
little bit older than me and a guy had left
their Facebook open on the computer and I didn't look
at it. I wasn't like trying to. I was gonna
log out of it. But the post he left up
was him definitely hitting on a woman on the comment section,
(14:54):
like he said something about how good they looked and whatever.
And my first reaction was to be like, ah, man,
that's not going to go well for you.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Like the first thing I thought was this is going to.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Be a swing and a misattempt at trying to pick
up a woman on the internet because it's in public,
it's a comment under the thing, And yeah, I don't
think he's actually going to wind up meeting this young
woman that he was commenting on. I think that's the
society we live in now is people see those things
and think of them as not necessarily, you know, the
right way to go about connecting with a human.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
You don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I'm being very nice about how I'm discussing this, and
so yeah, I saw that, and I was like, dude,
this is a guy who obviously is of a different
generation and hoping this works, and it's probably not going
to work.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
No, I would agree with that.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
No notes, No notes, I don't think. Okay, do you
think that that's true?
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Though?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Also, do you feel like, as a friend of somebody
if they're posting something out there for whatever reason, Like
maybe they don't post this stuff all the time, but
maybe your female friend who buy and large has a
regular social media page, has thrown up the bikini photo
because they've been in the gym or something. As a
female friend of this person in a supportive way, do
you kind of feel a pressure to comment and be like,
(16:06):
way to go, this looks great?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Yeah you go girl.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Okay, See, I thought that guys do not feel that pressure.
We feel the exact opposite version of I really shouldn't
comment on this one. I need to go find the
artistic photo of her where she's not wearing a bathing suit,
and it's really more of a focus on a painting
or something and tell her how great that looks, and
hope for the best there instead of the one where
she's the ki I think SNL has made fun of
(16:31):
this too, by the way, I think I just described
an SNL bit, But anyway, I just thought that was
so funny. Is that again people were talking about the
difference in society now for men and women, and I
would really like to know the behind the scenes. I
think that, and probably not in a good way. There's
going to be a whole lot of direct messages coming
in from people that are not women saying things to
(16:52):
some of these young influencers that are out there in
the world.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
All Right, I'll shift gears.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
There's one other thing out there that I saw that
I thought was interesting, and this is actually also sillacious
in nature. I didn't do this on purpose, Kylon. These
are the topics I found. These are the things I found.
Apparently some people are creating what they think is a
more attractive Santa.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I don't know how I'm gona talk about this is
on the New York Post.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It is a holiday thing where someone would like to,
you know, dress like Santa Claus, but do it in
a fancier way to where you actually look good. There
are guys who have like red suits on that aren't
the typical Santa suit with Italian stuff. And apparently this
is a thing that guys on social media are trying
(17:38):
to make Santa a more attractive dude but also look
like Santa, and women are responding well to the attempt
to make Sannah more modely and less like you know,
big jolly fat guy. I don't know what you think
of this topic, but my complaint, and my complaint is
the same all the time with this stuff, is you
don't need to go these roads. Man Like, Halloween ruins
(18:00):
a lot of characters that are not inherently attractive that
then Halloween tries to make attractive, Like the person who
goes out dressed a SpongeBob SquarePants and wants SpongeBob to
be a hot lady.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
That does not make sense to me. That is not
a good move.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
The same feels true here that anyone who's trying to
create a more attractive version of Santa is missing the
point of Santa Claus entirely. He does not need to
be an attractive dude. He needs to be a jolly
older guy with a big, big belly who I wind
up wanting presents from.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
That's exactly what it is. It doesn't have to be
anything else. You want to comment on this one or
do you want to take the fifth.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
There absolutely is an audience for it. I'm not there,
but I've seen so many things about events for like
Magic Mike, Santa Night type of things.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yet yeah, the whole thing. Yeah, yeah, it's weird. Yeah, okay, good.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I'm glad that you're not going to pretend this isn't real,
because apparently the New York Post is saying it's real
and you've seen it too, So yes, it's odd. I
don't know why people want to do this. Maybe it's
a challenge of it. Like I kind of think this
is going to be an overly nice way to describe this.
Artistic people like to do artistically challenging things. I know
that for a fact as someone who I think is
(19:11):
at times artistic. And so maybe somebody somewhere is sitting
in the corner of a room planning their next show
and saying to themselves, you know, it would be really
tough to make Sanna somebody who's hot, and then they
try to do that, They try to make that show
and have an audience that goes to it and responds
well to it, because it's artistically more challenging than making
someone that's you know, not traditionally thought of as attractive hot.
(19:34):
This is the same thing I think I see on
Halloween when I see young women dressed as stuff that
shouldn't be hot, like hot SpongeBob and hot Patrick, and
yet they tried to turn it into something that's attractive.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
It just confuses me. The male brain is simplistic.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
It just makes it odd and confusing to see that
stuff out there and wonder why I now have to have,
you know, a competing thought in my brain about something
that I thought was very easy out there.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Anything else you want to say about this or no.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
I think you put it pretty pretty plainly simplicity, right.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Beg you beg you Kylin. You're like, yeah, let's move on,
let's change the topic. We'll take a break, we'll do
more things in just a bit.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I love running out of time on adult topic segments
because then we can't even blame me. We just have
to blame the fact that we're stopping now on the commercial,
but we'll be back in a bit. This is Craig
Collins filling in on Kendall and Casey ninety three WIBC.
This is the Kendall in Casey Show, ninety three WIBC.
My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Just a quick
(20:32):
sweep of some of the bigger things out there in
the news. President Trump sat down with Vladimir's Lensky and
it seems like things went very well. It seems as
though they're sit down in Florida. By and large, has
the United States and Ukraine in the same place, with
the same objective and ending a four year war between
Russia and Ukraine that Russia started, Russia invaded them, all
(20:54):
those things, and you've definitely heard in the station. And
I continue to praise Tony Katz. I'm not trying to.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I know that's not his show, the one I'm doing
right now.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
But he's done a really great job of talking about
this issue, and I think helping people understand that Ukraine
was going to wind up giving things up in some
sort of peace deal because no one else was going
to put boots on the ground and fight, not that
I think it's a good idea, And I don't mean
to speak for Tony, but I think I get the
sense that he didn't think it was a good idea either.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
But if you actually.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Wanted to defeat Russia in a way that would have
benefited Ukraine, you would have had to help them with
military bodies, not just military equipment. And so I do
think it's really interesting that, even though people are upset,
that that's the likely scenario here, that it's going to happen.
There is also the US's offer for a fifteen year
security guarantee as part of a peace plan. It does
(21:46):
have an expiration date, but it would be an amount
of time in which, once everything is parsed out, once
all the different pieces are agreed to, if Russia does
something to be provocative, the United States would have an
in simply, you know, obvious, in writing black and white
way in which they would respond with more strength, respond
(22:07):
beyond the way of sending just weapons and things to Ukraine.
So that feels as though it's the path that Ukraine
most wants. If they give in, they want to make
sure that there is a protection for whatever is left,
which would be a significant part of the country. Of course,
the only things that are really being discussed to give
away are things that were long contested areas like the
Donbas region. Anyone that doesn't know much about that area,
(22:31):
and you probably know a lot more over the last
few years than you might have known before it. There
were areas that were essentially having a proxy war where
Russia would be supporting a force that wasn't necessarily its
military but behaved like it against Ukraine in these long
contested areas.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Now it seems that some of.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Those areas, most of those areas would probably be surrendered
to Russia and then the rest of Ukraine would stay
the way it is. But anyway, that's a big story
that's out there news. Winter storms are a big story
throughout the country on the East coast and of course
in Indianapolis, where things are getting colder and crazier very quickly.
It's just I'll say this, it's mean. I don't know
(23:10):
how to say that differently. I remember all the time
making jokes about that, my wife making jokes about that
that like mother Nature is mean, or whoever you want
to call it. Is to have like a really nice
Christmas and then have immediately terrible weather after Christmas. It's
the inverse of what you want. You want the winter
day to happen on Christmas Day, and then when you
(23:30):
get tempted by the oh my god, it's so lovely outside,
it's so fancy and nice, or at least it's not miserable.
If it's not quite as warm in some places as others,
at least it's not you know, freezing and terrible, and
then all of a sudden you go right back to
getting kicked in the teeth. That is the hardest thing
about living in the Midwest is the fluctuation of weather.
That one day it'll be sixty, the next day it'll
be negative tent and you just have to live with that.
(23:52):
I do think that that's something that's out there, and
I think that that stinks, and it's been that way
for a very long time. This is not a version
of me talking about any changes in climate in our society.
That's not the point, and I love when people do that.
By the way, I think I've talked about this before.
I don't know if it's here, but I have mentioned
before how entertained I am when people tell me that
(24:14):
like shockingly good weather is an indication that climate change
is a horrible problem in our society because I like
to do the opposite. I want to be the person
that's fear mongering about, you know, the cold snap that's
tending us back into the dark ages of you know,
all the things that happened when everything was frozen in
the world, because that never happens. Man, whenever we have
(24:36):
a uniquely cold day in the middle of the summer
or some other time. These same people that are out
there screaming about how bad things are don't do the opposite.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
And I think they.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Should just at least do that because it entertained me more.
It makes more fun for me. And I'm a millennial.
I'm someone who grew up being taught about climate change
in school. I'm not necessarily trying to tell you that
none of it exists, but I think the version of
it that people talk about is overly dramaticized and crazy,
and it winds up being not true all the time.
The projections are always wrong. And even more than that,
(25:08):
the solution to any of this is not to give
the government a bunch of money, because if we're learning
anything in Minnesota or elsewhere, it's if you want to
fix a problem. The last thing you should do is
give a whole bunch more money to the government is
they'll make it worse, not better, and they'll lose a
lot of the money and steal a lot of the
money along the way. But anyway, let's move on to
other things out there. I thought this was interesting. The
(25:28):
economy doing pretty well according to many people. The CEO
of Bank of America popped up on face the nation
to say that there's three different things that he pays
attention to, and all of those seem to be trending
in the right direction. Whether or not you feel it
right now is probably unlikely to be true. And I
(25:49):
think mostly because of the time of year. To be honest,
there were times during the Biden administration where they said
that the inflation of certain things was transitory. They were
wrong about all that. The high prices that we were
paying on stuff never went the other way, never went back.
It was horrible and terrible and a tremendous failure of
(26:09):
the Biden administration to have things get so expensive so quickly,
and probably a byproduct of a war on oil and
gas and energy that makes things as expensive as they are.
But what's interesting to me is that right now is
the time of year where people spend way more money
than they have, regardless of how well the economy is doing.
(26:30):
Most people choose to overspend on the holidays for the
loved ones, for their friends, for whoever they think that
they need to get stuff for. So it's a very
difficult time to say, hey, things are going better than
I thought, because you're more likely to be cash strapped
now than at any other time during the year.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
But here I'll play the audio of the CEO.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Of Bank of America saying to him things are going well,
and the economy itself was doing better than people expected.
I think a full point in Q three more than
expected for the amount of growth and the amount of
spending that we're seeing. And again that might be partially
a byproduct of what I'm saying about the time of
year it is.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
But hey, good news is good news. But here we go.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Is that still though stilted towards the upper income bracte?
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Is it that K shaped economy?
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Some people, Yeah, talk about our team. It looks at this, Yes,
it's the growth freight difference is higher, but all the
all the third or third or third all three thirds
are growing and so continue. And that's been continuous, and
so that that's the question. They grow at different rates,
but they're all growing, which all means are putting more
(27:36):
money the economy they did this time last year.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
All right, that's good.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
He's saying again that the people at the top are
making more money that their income.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
There.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
You know, financial successes is going a certain direction. But
and K shaped is an interesting term for it, when
really the Bank of America is saying more E shaped.
He's saying more every single layer is doing well, not
the middle layer is doing poorly, which is used what
the people unfaced the nation. I want to tell you,
whether you believe that or not, whether you experience that
(28:04):
or not, it seems to be the underlying truth.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Also, I thought this was interesting.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
This is Scott Jennings talking about the success that existed
within the economy and then also talking about the success
that's existed within immigration. And I know there are people
that think that Trump is going way too far, doing
way too much as far as the amount of people
that are here illegally that are not going to be
allowed to stay. But this was a campaign promise that
he made. He said that he would fix this and
(28:32):
it got tremendously worse under Biden. It got so bad,
And this is always sort of the barometer for me
that I think is interesting that the South Side of
Chicago overwhelmingly liberal, overwhelmingly minorities, mostly black people who live
in the South Side of Chicago. They were complaining that
they thought the immigration system was broken and too much
(28:52):
money was going to communities.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
That weren't theirs, and how unfair it was.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
And that's a group of people that overwhelmingly vote, you know,
democratic politicians into positions of power, whether it's mayors in Chicago, presidents,
what have you. They were likely to be turning on
the people that you know they typically vote for because
they're upset that things are going in the direction they're going. So,
how do you fix something that gets that broken disproportionately?
(29:18):
How do you seesaw it back the other way? You
do what Trump is doing. You might have to significantly
change the amount of people who are currently here and
do it in a way where even a lot of
mainstream media outlets and others complain that like you're ripping
mothers from their families, even though buy and large it's
not actually true. But I think that this is the
way you respond to someone doing what Biden did while
(29:40):
he was in office. But here's Jennings talking about it
and how it is also simply a campaign promise that's
been fulfilled.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
Well, look, I think on the immigration piece, it's been
as big as success this year. It's the biggest promise fulfilled.
We've had two and a half million people deported. A
significant number of the more self deported, you know, they
use the government's app or just decided to leave the
country altogether.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
And by the way, he says, the significant number one
point nine million of the two point five million people
left on their own, they left with cash in their hands.
I think they get three thousand right now. They were
getting a thousand before it. So a vast majority of
the people, eighty percent of the individuals who've left this
country during this term in office so far for the president,
(30:24):
have done so of their own choosing. That feels important
to mention too, to the people who are saying, you
know that ICE is this horrible organization that's ruining lives
and families throughout the country that feels disconnected from the
simple stat here we're going.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
So when I talked to Republicans and Trump supporters around
the country. They're more than thrilled with the aggressive nature
of it. You know, we haven't passed any new immigration
laws since Donald Trump became the president. Again, we're just
enforcing the laws that we have, something the previous administration
would not do. So I know the left is treated
this as some big controversy, but I don't know what's
controversial about the president just simply enforcing the laws that
(30:59):
are on the books.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yeah, I don't know what it's controversial about that either, Scott.
And even more important than that, and this is what
I think is really interesting is is Trump is not
alone as far as a president who has deported people.
Outside of Biden, You've seen deportations and quite a few
of them in other administrations. Even the Obama administration had
deported a lot of people. And how dare they do that?
I was not, for some reason, the reaction of mainstream media.
(31:21):
It's just this time around, because you don't want any
success to be success. You want everything to be a failure,
one way or another, whatever it might be. That to
me is essentially the way that mainstream media wakes up
in the morning and decides they're going to cover Trump
is that it has to be bad.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
It has to be terrible.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
We have to find out how, and mostly it has
to be just identity terrible. It has to be identity politics.
He's a bad person. He's racist, he's sexist, he's something
as opposed to you know, he's simply now enforcing a
law that did exist before and the previous administration didn't
want to enforce for a bunch of political reasons. All right, Well,
take a break. A lot coming up. Greg Collins filling

and Casey Show on ninety three WIBC. My name is
Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be with you. Producer
Kylon is hanging out as well on special assignment. I
do like these stories when they come out, mostly because
it just means I feel smart, So that's always good.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
I think that's always a good thing.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
But apparently New York City teachers discovered the young people
teenagers can't read clocks. The reason that they discovered this
is they took away cell phones and then the kids
had no idea what time it was.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
I imagine this might be.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
A bit of an exaggeration. Although it might also be true.
But if you have like a clock in the back
of the room on the wall, the way that everybody
remembers in school, looking up at that thing and hoping
for it to go faster so you get to leave
and go home from school, Apparently the kids now have
no idea what's going on is they can't see the
digital version on their phone if it's in a bin
somewhere in the front of the room. I was just
(32:54):
very upsetic, apparently for the kids. But I find this
uniquely hilarious and also terrible. If you're in a school
system and you notice the children can't read a clock,
I feel like you take a whole day you teach
them that that's a life skill that they need. I
go ahead and throw out the math itinerary for the day,
and let's just do clocks until we get past that topic,
(33:16):
and then we'll go on to other things.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
I don't think schools do that enough.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
If you notice a problem that's very basic with a
large amount of the people in the school, let's go
ahead and switch the curriculum for twenty four hours to
get through that roadblock. We also need to bring back
things like shop class. I think the kids know how
to make stuff. But Kylin, did you want to weigh
in on the teenagers don't know how to read clock story?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
I would absolutely believe it.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
I had problems reading the clock growing up, and I
was taught it during school, So like them, not even
learning it is absolutely believable.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Yeah, yeah, they.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
I think it's also fine if you feel like you
need to be smarter, if you ever want like a
little confidence booster, sure, just remember that I went through
school without AI, without AI doing it working, I say, you, yep.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Anything, Yes, I know, I'm aware of this. I went
through a school without a whole lot of that existing
at all. AI couldn't do anything for me, and not
even just AI, there were even other cheats that didn't exist.
The best thing I had was spark notes. I don't
know if you even know what that is.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Do you know what that is?
Speaker 5 (34:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Yeah, okay, spark notes. Yeah okay, good, I didn't know.
I don't know who knows what that is. Spark Notes
was when you could not read a book, but you
could read the abridged version in the highlights of the
book online on a specific website and then feel like
you kind of knew what it was My favorite as
far as the way cheating used to work in college,
and I didn't do this, but it did happen, is
when someone noticed that you copy and pasted something out
(34:41):
of Wikipedia and then put it into your paper, and
then you got in trouble for it.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
I had a buddy that did that.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Multiple times, and every time it failed because it was
way too easy to check in on why that was
a thing he was doing. And I love the fact
that every time it happened, he was still mystified.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
He's like, I don't know how they figured it out.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
I only took that one paragraph entirely from Wikipedia, but
that was our version of AI, the Internet version of
the Encyclopedia. I was the closest we got. But now
everybody writes, you know, my mom's a teacher. I don't
know if I've mentioned this before. She's mostly a guidance counselor,
but she actually teaches classes too, from college courses and
whatnot in Indiana. Actually is where she lives. I don't
(35:19):
want to say where because she always gets mad at
me want to do that. But anyway, she uses AI
to grade papers. She's told me this before, and her
favorite part of AI helping her grade the paper. Is
it identifies if it's if it's grading other AI.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
It tries to tell. It's like, we think this is AI.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
You don't know for sure, but apparently it's competing against itself,
you know, where the one AI writes the thing and
the other AI decides if it's a real thing or
if it's actually artificial intelligence that wrote it.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
My sister is a ghost copywriter and has to do
similar fantastic where she ghost writes for whatever the assignment is.
Oh yeah, and for turning it in, she has to
put it through this AI tester so they know that
she didn't use AI. And when she puts it through,
even though she wrote all of it, she puts it
through and then has to rewrite everything because they believe
(36:08):
it's AI because wow, how it was done.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Yeah, it's pros and cons.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
You know.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
I wonder.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
I wonder because here let's do something that's a little
bit liberal in nature, where you blame somebody for something.
I wonder if the robots are being humanists, if they
think that we're too smart and so then they say,
now this's got to be us. This has got to
be computers and not humans. And so then they claim
that it's AI when it's just a smart human that's
doing a thing.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
I think that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
I think it's it's human racism by the computers that
are out there.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
In the world. I love that. I'm definitely kidding. I
don't know where we've gotten. Yeah, tongue in cheek saying that,
by the way, but.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
We need to bring back the life skills classes like
you said, like shop class, you're cooking and you're sewing
all of it.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Absolutely, yeah, No, I think a great day in school
would be like just to puncture somebody's tire and see
what happens. Like all the kids get to school and
then you pop a tire. Maybe you have the spare
ready and you're like, children, fix this, and if they
can't do it, that's bad.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
We got to do other things. Do you know how
to change a tire on a car?
Speaker 4 (37:06):
I sure do, Okay, I learned that dad. Yep, my
dad had a flat when I was in the car
with him. So he's like, all right, learning lesson, let's.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Go come on out. You know what's funny about this?
I don't.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
I'm not trying to break bad on the missus I
love my wife. She's awesome, she's amazing. She's from Mexico.
In Mexico, just like in New Jersey where I was born,
you don't pump your own gas. That people pump it
for you. You pull up, they do everything, You do nothing.
And so my wife, even though she definitely knows how
to do it now and it's not that hard, still
freaks out every time she pulls up at the gas
(37:37):
station to pump the gas and then makes me go
with her and do it for her because she thinks
she's gonna do something wrong. She thinks the gas is
gonna spill all over the place.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
I think that's hilarious and also a way for me
to be a man that saves the day, which is
something that most men want to be. I think quite
often we need to be called in to save the
day in any situation. If you have a can that's
too tight and I need to open it instead of you,
I feel like a a spartan for the rest of
the day because I open that can. The same is
(38:07):
true when I pump her gas. But I just love
the fact that it's just it's a life thing. She
didn't experience it where she was all right. I think
I did that nicely. We'll take a break. More coming
up in a bit. Craig Collin's filling in on the
Kendall and Casey Show.
