Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, when we continue to talk about redistricting really quick?
Another update, yes, of course, of course, because Governor Braun
put out that he's calling for a special session on
redistricting and federal and state tax issues. And now you
have the Speaker Houston who responded. He said, we've received
the governor's call for a special session, and we'll continue
(00:23):
having conversations within our caucus and with our counterparts in
the Senate on our next steps.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
So basically nothing. So that was a statement that said
absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
They're continuing to have conversations and this conversation will continue
at least through November three. We're aware of that. Let's
talk about Gavin Newsom. Can we see Gavin. It's the
Kendling Casey Show. By the way, Rob Kendall is on vacation.
That is Jim. My name is Casey Daniels. So Gavin
Newsom said he would be lying if he denied considering
(00:57):
a presidential bid.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
This that's a weird way to say it.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
From the well duh column.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, everybody knew that this was going to happen. Shoot, look,
let's be honest here. If Gavin Newsom had been selected
after Joe Biden, dropped out, or they had run from
or if they'd even run a quick primary or some
sort of contested convention, if Gavin Newsen had run against
Donald Trump, might have seen a different outcome. Look, I
don't like Gavin Newsom. I don't agree with him on
(01:24):
politics or anything. But the guy is, you know, checks
all the boxes from a Democrat perspective, from a Democrat,
from a Democrat perspective.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
He gives a great hand gestures he does.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
He's very animated with his hands and when he talks.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
But as a conservative, and if you're a conservative, if
you discount Gavin Newsom and his ability to potentially win
a national election like president, you're making a massive mistake.
It's easy for us, as conservatives say, oh, Gavin Newson's
an idiot, he's you know, big dummy. We're going to
ignore him or just make fun of him. That's the
wrong thing to do in this case, because he is
(01:58):
a very, very good politician. And while the thought of
a Gavin Newsom presidency literally makes my spine tingle, we
cannot discount him.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
He is a formidable politician.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
He confirmed that he would give the idea serious thought
after the midterm elections. And he emphasized the importance of
having a compelling why before running for office because you
want to be president, dude, because you're a total, complete
narcissist who needs all of the attention on you. That's
the why. Oh. When he says I have to have
an important, compelling why, you mean you have to figure
(02:32):
out what a good talking point would be.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Right, My ego is not a good answer, right, So.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Satisfy sell to the pubblic right, just to satisfy my
massive ego.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
That's why I want to be president.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Not the right response here is Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
I'm looking forward to who presents themselves in twenty twenty
eight and who meets that moment. And that's the question
for the American people there to.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Say after the twenty twenty six midterms, you're going to
give serious thought.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Yeah, I'd be lying. Otherwise I'd just be lying, and
I can't do that.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Governor Long said that if you ever run for the
White House, you need a compelling why.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
A reason.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Are you moving closer to figuring out your own why
and your own decision?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Yeah? And heeds you said to you compelling why you
can endure anyhow, And so I don't think. I think
the biggest challenge for anyone who runs for any office
is people see right through you. If you don't have that,
why you're doing it for the wrong reasons. And so look, well,
that will, that faith will determine that.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
You certainly seem to like being on the ground in
South Carolina. I have to say that seeing you up close,
you were having a good time.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
I happen to and thank god I'm in the right business.
I love people, actually love people.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I also love power and authority in governing over those
people and.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Not answering the question.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, he quotes Nietzsche out there to kind of distract
from things, and then a bunch of word salad and
never answers the question. But here's a big reason why
Gavin Newsom is a formidable candidate and nobody who's conservative
should be dismissing him. He is not afraid to talk
to anybody, goes on Joe Rogan's show, has conservatives on
his talk at Charlie Kirk and Charlie Kirk did a
(04:17):
podcast together before his passing, and Gavin Newsom talks about
Democrats needing to be competitive everywhere they go in the
entire country. They can't just seed red states and red districts.
They've got to be able to put formidable challengers in there.
And I think those are two big reasons as to
why Gavin Newsom could be a formidable challenger to whoever
(04:37):
is running on the Republican side in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
So he said, if you have a compelling why that
helps you endure the how I mean he's acting like,
you know, he has to endure running for president. That's
like his dream.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Right, And nobody's feeling sorry for Gavin Newsom all he
wants you to though, it's going to be so tough,
and why would you run for president? Again, it goes
back to his massive ego is the reason as to
why he would want to run for president.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
He's been very critical of Donald Trump, especially on National
Guard deployments, also immigration, and he's pushing for that redistricting
plan in California. Didn't they vote on that? Did they
vote on that yesterday?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I think it's still in process. I think it's not
been official and signed off by the governor yet, that
they are well on their way to doing their own
redistricting in California.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Okay, So he is ineligible to run for reelection as
governor because they have term limits and as he mentioned,
fate will determine it. I'm not getting the idea that
somebody like Gavin Newsom is going to say, well, I'm
going to pray on it, I'm going to think about
it and we'll see. No, he's saying a fate will
(05:50):
determine it. No, that's a yes from somebody like Gavenussi.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
It's a yes.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
He is going to be a good challenger to whoever
runs on the conservative side. His big challenge and the
big questions, and this is for every Democrat in the
entire country. Can you handle these and you answer these topics?
Where's your position on immigration? Are you bidened or are
you trump when it comes to immigration? Do you think
that boys can be girls and girls can be boys
(06:15):
and boys should be in girls' locker rooms? And are
you for abortion on demand right up until delivery? Those
are the eighty twenty questions where eighty percent of the
country is on the side of conservatives and only twenty
is on the side of Democrats. Every Democrat running for
any office needs to answer those three questions. And that's
kind of the litmus test that the general population, and independence,
especially put on democrats. Are you going to answer those
(06:37):
three questions like a reasonable human being? Or are you
going to answer them like a democrat?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
So he was on a podcast and he was being
mocked by a lot of conservatives because it seemed like
he debuted a new accent. It was very reminiscent of
Kamala Harris. He also was telling this story about how
he was very poor while growing up and listen to this.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
But also you know, it was also about paying the
bills man, And it was just like hustling and and
so I was out there kind of raising myself, turning
on the TV. Started you know, just getting obsessed, you know,
sitting there with the you know, the wonderbread and five
stacks of you know, like the white.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Come on.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Every day every day in the backyard, just bouncing the basketball,
throwing the ball against the wall until the ball is
just like fraying, man, and you're talking to yourself, that's
it whole thing. So just and and then you know,
then this student that was students in the back with
his head down, all of a sudden started throwing the
baseball a little fashion than everyone else and started, you know,
(07:50):
make a few free throws because I was sitting there
practicing five hundred of them every damn night. And in
high schools, I look up in the stands my dad's
back up there, and it's like man. And then he's
bringing his friends and your captain of the team, and
you're like, gee, you know, and it just saved me
and it got me into college.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
So here he is trying to tell you about how
he practiced basketball and how he was so broke when
he was growing up. He played basketball on the mean
streets of Marine County in California.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Which, by the way, if you've never been to Marine County, beautiful,
it smells like money. You just crossed that bridge from
San Francisco over into Marine County and it just smells
like a hundred dollar bills everywhere you go.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
The idea that Geff we just came off a clip
for Gavin new Somewhere. He said, I'm not gonna lie
to you. I can't lie, and then we go to
this clip and he's like, oh, I grew up a
poor white kid eating wonderbread.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah, nobody is buying that. He shouldn't be selling it.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
And you might remember the time that Gaven Neuson plowed
over a kid while he was trying to show off
his basketball skills.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
It's the crowd reaction he if you watch that video,
he absolutely annihilates that kid. It was like Kobe Bryant
taking out Poal Gasol in the two thousand and eight Olympics.
Just a shoulder straight to his chest. The kid's arms
went out wide. It was like he was doing snow
angels on the ground.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
It's like, how old was that kid? That kid looked
like he was probably eight or nine.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
And here's Gavin news the most.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
It's a grown man, six feet tall, two hundred pounds,
puts his shoulder into him and just destroys this kid
on the basketball.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
He was trying to again, like he's like, oh, the
cameras are on me, and I got to really sparkle
right now. And he's trying to like dribble the ball
behind his back. He ends up tripping and then just
plows this kid over.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
If you've ever seen that great Saturday Night Live clip
of Peyton Manning when he's playing football with the kids
and he just keeps chucking these eighty mile an hour
footballs at their face, that's the exact same.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Thing that that happened in that clip. It was fabulous.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Well, the secretary, the Transportation Secretary, Sean duff, he said
that they're about to yank one hundred and sixty million
dollars from Gavin Newsom for giving commercial driver's licenses to illegals.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Gavin Newsom has thumbed his nose at US he's refused
to comply with the rules that have come from dot
which is stop issuing these licenses number one and number two.
Go back and review all the licenses that you have
issued and make sure it's been done legally. Gavin Usim
has said no, so one, I'm about to pull one
hundred and sixty million dollars from California, and as we
(10:28):
pull more money, we also have the option of pulling
California's ability to issue commercial driver's licenses. Gavin Newsom cares
more about illegals getting commercial driver's licenses than he does
the citizens of his own state and the safety of Americans.
It's shameful he's been lying about what he's been doing.
And again, We're going to fight tooth and nail under
President Trump's administration to make sure that we hold stateside.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
California accountable.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Gavin Newsom was first elected governor in twenty eighteen, and
he previously served as California's lieutenant governor.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I'm all for that.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I mean, the federal government has been doing this for
decades with the states, especially when it comes to you know,
motor vehicle laws. I mean, the reason why the speed
limit for every state in the whole country for decades
was fifty five miles an hours.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
That was the maximum.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
It's because the federal government said, oh, if you pass
a law that says your speed can go above fifty five,
we're going to pull your road funding. It's the same
way that the blood alcohol level for you know, qualifying
for a DUI is point zero eight. It's uniform across
the whole country, again because the federal government said, if
you change it and go beyond that, we're going to
pull your funding.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
So this is very similar to that.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
You're listening to the Kendall and Case Show. It is
ninety three WIBC. I have bad news, good No? Yeah,
well bad news.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Do you have at least good news too? Or is
it just all bad news?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Oh no,
the bad news large breast implants, once a dominant beauty standard,
are now losing popularity. What so many women are opting
for what they call x plants rather than implants. The
(12:11):
explant is the removal of breast implants.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
We used to be a proper country.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
We used to have great schools, our economy was strong,
and women were getting huge breast implants, and now they're
taking them out.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah. Yeah, So surgeons are reporting a rising demand for
smaller implants if they get any, and also removals. Now,
why is this happening? We have to get into this
health concerns, Well that part of it. Health concerns. Yes, uh,
Some women general aesthetics removing the implants due to symptoms
(12:47):
linked to the breast implant illness. They say they cause fatigue,
brain fog, and also joint pain. Other people are citing
that it affects their taste and.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Not wait, their taste are their partner's taste? Their taste?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
How they how they taste things when they put them
in their mouth. Oh no, they also what.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
We are we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
They also feel the implants longer suit their bodies. Part
of this is because of the influence.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
This is a horrible story.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
We should have let the show with this at nine am.
This with Our biggest mistake was pushing this to eleven.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Are we're talking about this? Okay?
Speaker 3 (13:32):
It's a serious topic.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
It's so serious. Influencers say that the g LP one
weight loss drugs are part of it because as their
bodies are shrinking.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I knew I had a problem with Ozempic and Magov.
Here's just another example. It's because of ozempic and Magov
that women are choosing to remove their breast implants.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
They say, as their bodies become smaller. Obviously their breasts
are remo large and it is out of proportion.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Now something that is wait, where's the problem there?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Something that is gaining popularity. People are having what they
call fat transfer procedures, where they're taking maybe some fat
from one part of the body and transferring them to
their decaletage.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Where's that been all this time?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
We've been living with silicone breast implants forever, and it
turns out that you can just take some from the
from the love handles and.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Move them up top.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
What was interesting is in this article alyssa Milano actress
is having hers removed, which, by the way, she's fifty
two years old, which made me feel really old. I
remember her as you know, the young the young kid
on Who's the Boss in the eighties. But let's keep
in mind here, this is the same Alissa Milano that
got so upset with Elon Musk and calling him a
Nazi that she sold. Keep in mind here she called
(14:55):
Elon Muska Nazi. She got rid of her, she got
rid of her tesla and bought an election trick Volkswagen.
Do you understand what Volkswagen was doing during World War Two?
So the brain trust here of Alyssa Milana is doing this.
That alone just another piece of supporting information. Why this
(15:16):
is a terrible, terrible idea and a terrible trend.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Victoria Beckham also had hers removed.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
And I can't.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
You can't call yourself posh spice anymore if you do that.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Kylie Jenner had natural looking implants and then later underwent surgery.
So they're saying that the nineteen nineties boob job era
was shaped by Playboy icons like Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Keep going.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Now, today's esthetic favors wellness and subtlety and a more
natural look.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
That is a bunch of b the biggest load of
bs I've ever heard money. Today's aesthetic is subtlety. There's
not much subtlety going on with any of today's aesthetic.
This is this is the worst story we've ever done
on this show.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Isn't it interesting that the era of boob jobs is declining?
But then you've got.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
The BBLS yes on the rise?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Yeah, which, if you don't know, that stands for Brazilian
butt lift.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
So you're just going from one area to focus. Is
shifting from the top to the bottom.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Why can't we focus on both?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I think we've got enough attention span in this country.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
We can.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
We can worry about both the bottom and the top
at the same time and still have enough attention left
over for other things.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Okay, so the question has been asked, is it cheaper
to pay for medical care without insurance? With health premiums
at an all time high, some people are asking if
paying out of pocket is cheaper, and the answer is
yes sometimes yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I would like to see this because add up what
you pay for health insurance. So take your monthly bill
that gets deducted from your paycheck, or if you're on
the open marketplace, the check you're writing every month for
your family's health insurance. Add that up for an entire year,
I would say the vast majority of families don't come
anywhere near to spending that much if they were to
do it out of pocket. Now, the problem with that
(17:13):
is is this has always been the challenge with health insurance.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
The problem is you need catastrophic insurance.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
So if you need to have some really difficult surgery,
or a family member gets cancer and there's going to
be this long drawn out, very expensive treatment, yes, obviously
you need health insurance for that, but health insurance for
just going to the doctor. And you see these stories
and social media has really focused on them a lot.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
That there are people out there that don't.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Have health insurance, so they're saving all of that money
every single month that they would have been paying for
health insurance. And when they go to see a doctor
and they say, hey, look I'm going to be paying cash. Oh,
the price magically changes and shockingly it's downright reasonable for
a lot of these procedures, especially if you're just going
in for annual physical or you've got a cold and
you need a prescription or something very basic, run of
(18:01):
the mill in mundane. Absolutely you're going to save a
ton of money if you go out of pocket.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I've seen a lot of stories though, where people say, no,
I'd prefer to pay cash, and they say, no, you
can't because you have insurance. We have to file this
with your insurance. No, no, I don't want you to
do that. I'm just gonna pay cash. Well, no, we
can't allow that. So emergency care guaranteed under federal law,
but follow up care is not. And that's where their
problem lies because, as you mentioned, if you go in
(18:27):
and have an emergency, yeah, they're going to take care
of you, but it's the follow up care afterwards where.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
No, yeah, that's always going to be the most expensive.
I may go in, you know, with some stomach problems
in the er, and they're going to treat me, and
then it turns out, oh, you've got appendicitis and you
need your appendix taken out. Great, let's have a certain
But then you're going to be in the hospital for
several days after that, and that's when the price and
you know, the cost of your medical bill starts going
up and up really really fast when you start spending
multiple days in the hospital.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yeah, it is the Kendell and Casey Show. It's ninety
three WYBC. We were talking earlier about the ballroom that
is being built in the east wing of the White House.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
It's been beautiful ballroom.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
So what it's being I'm calling it's official.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I bet Trump's calling that at least behind the scenes,
if not publicly. Yeah, big beautiful ballroom.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
That's a good name for it, BBB.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
He's also claiming that the Obama Presidential Center is stuck,
and that's due to its focus on DEI contractors. So
do you know construction began in September of twenty one.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
It is the absolute most Democrat project ever, Massively over budget,
massively behind schedule. I mean, they bulldozed historic Parkland to
build this.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
And so this is being built in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
And if you've been to Chicago and familiar, it's kind
it's definitely on the south side a little bit.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
It is just south of.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
The Museum of Science and Industry, and they bulldozed parkland.
This is the guy that called himself, you know, a
community organizer, all about the community, all about rallying around
that the area, the neighborhood where he wanted to build
this did not want it, Like I said, They bulldoze
this historic parkland to build it, and now it's being
funded by billionaires and is approaching a one billion dollar cost.
(20:19):
They're over seven hundred million right now. It's a way
over budget, way behind schedule. I'm sure if they try
real hard that probably won't have to try hard at all.
They're going to get to a billion dollars. That's not
to mention how ugly.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
This thing is.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
It is.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
It's being called the death star. Ted Cruz called it that.
It's supposed to be finished by spring of twenty six,
and it's going to feature a two hundred and twenty
five foot tall museum and a branch of the Chicago
Public Library. There's the sub subcontractor that filed a forty
million dollar lawsuit against the engineering firm. They allege racial discrimination.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
It is big, bad, ugly Google pictures of it. It
is this.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
It's it's kind of it looks like it's probably ten
or fifteen stories, which is weird. So it's kind of
kind of a small footprint, but it's really tall. But
it's got all these angular shapes, look like it looks
like a like a crooked stick. It's got this bend
in the middle of it and a billion dollars, a
billion dollars for a presidential library.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Well, here is Donald Trump talking about the library shiasco.
You're building your ballroom right now.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
They're also building the Obama presidential Library.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
I'm wondering if you've.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Seen so have you seen pictures of the architecture, And yeah,
it's sound too pretty, but it's it's closed.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
It's sucked. They ran out of money. I mean, he's
building a library slash museum. You know, you go to
some museum and usually they go they call a library
and museum.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
That's the official name. And this stuck.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
And he wanted only women and DEEI to build it.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
That's what they got.
Speaker 7 (21:57):
And the construction workers are standing out there and we
want to be able to build it. You know, yeah, great.
I built they great building in Chicago, as you know,
a big, beautiful building, one of the talks buildings in
the country. And we got it built very quickly, very well.
And we use the construction workers of Chicago. They're great workers.
They're great construction people, and I suggest that you get
(22:18):
them involved. But they're hundreds of millions of dollars off
a budget, and I think it stopped. I'm reading these
terrible stories. But that's the way our country was run
under President Obama to nobody knew it.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Nobody knew it. No, we all knew it. Actually, we
all knew it.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Can you imagine a Democrat project built by unions in
Chicago costing a billion dollars? I can't even imagine the
amount of money that was jammed inside of paper bags
and handed under the table for the people to get
this done.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
That's why it cost a billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Just this just screams incompetence and corruption at the highest levels.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
When Trump was comparing, he's that he built a building
in Chicago, his big, beautiful building. He was talking about
the Trump International Hotel and Tower. And the goal for
Obama's library was supposed to require thirty five percent of
the subcontracts to be minority owned. That's where the DEI
(23:18):
came in.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Got it.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Trump planning his own presidential library I believe in Miami,
and that's supposed to be built obviously after this term
is overall.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I've been to a presidential library. I was at the
George W. Bush Presidential Library in Dallas a few years ago,
and gotta say it was great. Yeah, it was very cool.
I mean, I don't have any others to compare it to.
Some of them may stink, But the George W. Bush
Presidential Library in Dallas.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Stuff. Does he have to fill that building, Obama? Yeah,
like you mentioned, it's many stories tall.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Yeah, it's huge. There was a significant portion of the
George W. Bush Library was obviously dedicated to nine to
eleven in the fight on terrorism after that, and so
that took up a huge chunk of the George W.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Bush Library.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
They're like an entire Obamacare wing right possibly or soaring
open ceilings right right, just like his open borders, soaring
open ceilings and open borders and an entire floor dedicated
to Obamacare.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Let's talk about this Babe Ruth card.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
This, ohoh boy.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
This it's nineteen fourteen Babe Ruth rickey card. It sold
for a whole lot of money, was resold for less.
Give us the backstory.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah, so this is a not real popular Babeth card.
It came out earlier this year. It was it was
put up for sale and people lost their minds and
the bidding got over seven million dollars before the auction
closed on this Babe Ruth very early early Babe Ruth
baseball card. They the people that bought it, just relisted
(24:54):
it over the weekend and sold for just over three
million dollars. Can you imagine that you take a flyer
on an investment like a baseball card collectible, you spend
seven million dollars on it, and then less than nine
months later you really sell it and it only gets
you three millions.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
So you're talking about a four million dollar loss.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
And they're calling it the worst sports collectible investment in
history because in nine months, less than nine months, it
lost over fifty percent of its value.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Why did it lose so much value?
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Well, I so sports collectible world is it has massive
ups and downs. You think the stock market's got a
lot of ups and down. Sports collectibles go way up,
they go way down. It kind of goes all over
the place. It was really a card that nobody knew
very much about. There are some other cards of Babe
Ruth that have been around for a long time, very popular.
This one had kind of gone under the radar for
a long time and a lot of people didn't know
(25:44):
about it, and then all of a sudden it showed
up at auction, and I think you had some really
rich people that just kept bidding and bidding, and we're
going to do anything so that they get their hands
on it. There was a lot of hype around that
auction earlier in the year, and then everybody kind of
looked at each other and was like, Wow, they weigh
over paid for that one.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
What were they thinking?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
And I think it got to a point where the
owners of this card were like, all right, we massively
overpaid for that one.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
It's time to just cut our.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Losses and get whatever we can for it now before
it goes down even further.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
And a four million dollar loss. So it's only the
second time in a decade that this card has been
sold at auction, and it features Baby Ruth as a
nineteen year old minor league pitcher, and fewer than a
dozen copies of it exist. Only ten examples have ever
been graded or encapsulated. And it is a rare card,
but not seven million dollars rare, which the owners found
(26:36):
out when it resold for only three million.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah, and look, rarety plays is a contributing factor to
the value of sports collectibles, but it's not nowhere near
the only factor, and a lot of it is just
kind of hype and what other people in the market
think these things are worth. I mean, we saw this
not too long ago, the Mickey Mantle rookie card, which
there's a ton more of those out there than this
(27:00):
Babe Ruth rookie card that sold for over twelve million dollars.
You and Rob talked about it earlier this year. So
you can't always follow logic when it comes to the
pricing of sports collectibles. Obviously, someone paid seven million dollars
for it, also not really all that logical at three
million dollars, which is what it sold for over the weekend.
You'll see these wild swings in sports collectibles, and this
(27:22):
is probably one of the best examples of that.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Ever.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
I mean, to lose about four million dollars in price
in only less than a year's time.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
It sounds like a risky business to be in, sure.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Does, and it is.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
But it's interesting because sports collectibles in general have been
going way up the last few years. So this this
really is is kind of on an island and non
indicative of the overall sports collectible market in general, because
a lot of things, yeah, I mean, you turn around
every single week and there's another baseball card or a
game warn Jersey and they're breaking records all the time.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
And that brings me to our next point. Do you
remember the Nike ad in the nineteen ninety the ad campaign,
it was voiced by Chris Rock and it featured the
little puppet, Little Penny, Little Penny, Let's remind everyone you
can't have pool.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Parties in them the road.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
This is what happened. I rush pool. You can't got me.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
The secret got me. You can have a regular party,
but you can't have any more pool parties. Look at
this filters.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Okay, so you you'll.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Recall that right absolutely. Little Penny was huge in the
mid nineties.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Okay, So Nike launched the Little Penny campaign after Bo
Jackson left sports and after Michael Jordan retired from the NBA,
Penny Hardaway became the second Nike basketball star after Jordan
to have his signature shoe that was part of the
camp pain. And the reason we're bringing this up is
because a Little Penny puppet sold at auction. Somebody wants
(29:09):
that little puppet sixty four fifty dollars.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Here.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
I'm gonna say something that's gonna sound stupid as soon
as it comes out of my mouth, but it's true.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Yeah, if it.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
That is actually a bargain sixty four thousand dollars for
that well well, and here's why it's not. More So,
this specific little penny puppet was only used in still
photographs in the marketing campaign. It wasn't used. It wasn't
any of the puppets used in the TV commercial. If
it was one of the little Pennies that was used
in the TV commercial with that Chris Rock voice that
(29:41):
you heard in the background, that's guaranteed double triple, maybe
even half a million dollars for that one. Really absolutely,
You don't.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Think the because it was used in the TV ad,
it would have a little wear and tear on it. Oh,
it doesn't make it less valuable, irrelevant.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
It was the one from the TV ad, and that
was such a culturally significant commercial because, like you said,
you had Michael Jordan retiring, so it was the NBA
to moving on what's next, and Nike threw everything into
Penny Hardaway and the fact that this little penny commercials
they took off the fact that Chris Rock was doing
the voiceovers for it. They were so funny. It was
a huge piece of our culture and sports from the
(30:17):
mid nineties, and that's why these will sell for so much.
And I guarantee you that if that was one of
the dolls from the commercial it was not like this
one just used in the still pictures, it would be
worth I mean, I could see it being worth ten times.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
What it sold for.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Okay, So this one included a letter from the puppeteer
confirming that it was gifted to him. So that's like
the authenticity, right, here's a letter saying this is the
real deal.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I told you it sounds stupid as soon as it
came out of my mouth that sixty four thousand dollars
for a puppet is a bargain.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
But I think in this case it was a bargain.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
This is going to be an example where in a
couple of years from now, that exact doll that sold
for sixty four thousand dollars could easily double or triple
in price, and then that.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Owner will try and recoup some of their money and
resell it again, and then there will be a loss
like we saw with the Babe Ruth card.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Maybe maybe, or it just keeps going up in value.
You never know.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Somebody wants to put that on a shelf and brag
to all their friends. Hey, look what I have. Look
what I paid six or four thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
No, no, I know you're kind of joking about that.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I am.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
You would not believe how big of a driver that
is in sports collectives.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
So figure yourself.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
You've got people that are just worth They got more
money than they know what to do with and they
So what do you do when you've got everything? You've
already taken all your aun the world, You've got your
you know, twelve car garage full of Bugattis and ferraris.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
What are you gonna do next?
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Now, I'm gonna buy something that nobody else has so
I can go to all my other rich friends and
go look at that.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
I got that. I got a little bed, and you don't.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
That is absolutely a massive driver for pricing in sports collectibles.
Is the rich guy saying to all his other rich friends,
I got this and you don't.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Who's Who's the guy who has a twelve car garage
filled with Bugattis? Where is he? And when can we
meet him?
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Rob Kendall has said it best for years, this show
needs more rich.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Frade, more rich friends. Sports equinox. By the way, I
heard John Herrick talking about that from the WYBC newsroom.
That means that all the major sports are playing today.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Greatest day of sports of the year.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
You have NHL, NBA, Major League Baseball, and NFL all
playing games today. It is the only day in the
entire year when all four of them have games going on.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Who's playing tonight for the NFL, do you know?
Speaker 2 (32:35):
It is the Washington Commanders at the Kansas City Chiefs.
So you got Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey and the
Chiefs on Monday Night football tonight. And then you've got
the World Series Game three tonight, and then of course
NHL and NBA just getting started on those seasons. But
they've got a full slit of games in both the
NHL and the NBA.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Right, and your Bears lost yesterday.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
My Bears are still terrible.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
I was, you know, they had won a couple of
games there, and I kept telling all my other Bear fans,
I'm like, this is do not get caught up into this.
You know, hey, we won four games in a row.
This team still stinks out loud, and they lost just
miserably yesterday.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
They lost to the Ravens minus their quarterback a one
in six Ravens team without their star quarterback Lamar Jackson, right,
and the Bears are on a four game winning streak.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Go in there, totally blow it and lose that game yesterday.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
It is the Kendally Casey Show. It's ninety three WIBC.
Really quickly before we get to the beer. Did you
see that? Wallet hub came out with their list of
the top ten safest cities in America and the top
ten least safe cities in America.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
I did you?
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Sent this to me and I went straight to the
least Safest Cities to see if Indianapolis was on that list.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Hey, good news, We're not on the list.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
We didn't break this at least according to this survey,
we are not one of the least safest cities in
the country.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
They say safety includes more than just crime stats. They
also include auto fatalities, natural disaster risk, and financial security,
which includes fraud, employment, insurance, and homelessness.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
It's funny you say that because the list I was
looking for the least safest cities in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
was on there, and I was like, that's an odd
I need to't normally see them on there oh natural disasters.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Oh yeah, definitely for Lauderdale.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
So while I hub is listing the ten least safe
cities in America as and I'll go from ten up
to number one.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Okay, you've got.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Cleveland, Ohio, Philadelphia, San Bernardino, Houston, Texas, Fort Lauderdale. Like
you mentioned, I don't like this one at all. Baltimore, Maryland. Yeah,
well that's where our daughter lives. Detroit, not surprising, Baton Rouge, Memphis, Tennessee.
And then the number one least safe city in America,
(34:49):
New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
And spoiler alert, Indianapolis was also not on the Safest
Cities list either, so we were right in the middle.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
What do they have as the safest city Warwick, Rhode Island.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Yeah, there's a bunch of really small towns that are
on there. I don't like it when the survey lists
do this.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
It just makes they basically they take population in a consideration.
They say, like only cities of one hundred thousand or
more or something like that.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
But there's the safest city list is full of a
bunch of small towns.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yeah it is, okay. So Sam Adams has a new
beer and I don't even know if we can consider
this a beer because it's so potent. It's illegal in
fifteen states due to its alcohol contest.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
That should be their that should be their whole marketing campaign.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Is that possibly is the marketing We're Sam.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Adams and our new beer is illegal in fifteen states.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
It has a thirty percent alcohol by volume percentage thirty percent.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
So let's like light beer is like usually about three percent.
Your average beer is maybe four or five percent. Your
fancy IPAs can get up into six seven eight percent.
This is thirty percent. That is sixty proof. That is
just about the same as fireball.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
So it's called sam Adams Utopias. And it was originally
debuted in two thousand and one and they release it
every couple of years. It's aged in oak barrels right
finished in casks that have been blending for thirty years.
And when they originally debuted it, it had a twenty
(36:22):
four percent alcohol by volume percentage, and then in twenty
three it was up to twenty eight percent, and now
in twenty twenty five it's at thirty percent. Check this out.
They only sell a few bottles. There are numbered bottles.
They're shaped like copper brewing kettles. The cost for one
bottle of beer twenty four ounce bottle two hundred and
(36:44):
forty dollars a bargain, and they say you're supposed to
drink it in a small sniffed or glass at room temperature.
That to me, that's not a beer.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
I chug it. It's forty bucks. Gonna shotgun the whole
thing and plyle.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
It right on down and it would be naptime. Thank you, Jim,
thank you Kevin, and thank you for listening today. This
has been Kendall and Casey on ninety three WIBC
