Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Kendall and Casey Show, ninety three WIBC.
My name is Craig Collins, filling in.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Thrilled to be with you.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
A bunch of stuff out there to talk about.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
In the news.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
You heard a report in the sports about how Philip
Rivers is unlikely to play the last game of the
season for the Colts. They're going to let Riley Leonard play.
It's not a big sports take, it's just a simple one.
Let the man play. The season's over. The Colts were
eliminated before they even played this past weekend, so let
Rivers play one more game.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Man.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
It's been fun to watch him, even if some of
the throws have been terrible, and if that late interception
was also not a good throw by any set of
professional standards.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Just come on, like, one more.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Game for Philip, a guy who's having a blast as
he helped the Colts get eliminated from the playoffs and
has gone zero to three so far as a starter.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Just give him one more.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
You know, Riley Leonard has already been sat on the
bench more than he probably should have been, and injuries
were supposedly the reason why. Who cares, man, Just let
the dude, play one more game. That's my take in
the world of the cults and football, and how sad
it is that that team fell apart, only the third
team in the history of the NFL since the playoffs
were expanded to twelve teams to start eight and two
(01:12):
and not make the playoffs is not a good look.
So yes, just let the guy play. It's the most
fun story in sports right now to me. All right now,
getting into politics, Scott Jennings said something on CNN last
night that I thought was pretty interesting. This is a
take about California and how they're going to tax more billionaires.
(01:34):
This is something that's always popular for Democrats to say.
Whether or not they actually do it is another thing,
And whether or not there's loopholes that help people not
actually pay these taxes another thing entirely. And of course,
also just vilifying people who are successful seems like a
bad strategy since those successful people might just leave the
state you're in. But Jennings had an interesting take as
(01:55):
to why he thinks this is happening, and it feels
like it's very much inspired by what's going on in
Minnesota and a lot of other places. And I'll tell
you how that relates to Indiana in just a second.
But first here, let's play this. Let's play what Jennings
said on CNN about the craziness of California turning on
the uber wealthy there.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
It's not a it's not a millionaire tax. It's a
billionaire tax.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
And the idea would be, I guess, to use that
revenue in order to offer improvements for the average Californian.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Worth debating why why pick a billion? Why in Washington
did you pick a million? Why don't Why don't you
pick nine hundred and ninetynine thousand, nine hundred? Why not
pick five hundred thousand? Why pick five percent?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Why not six? Why not ten?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Why not twenty? Why not fifty?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
The thing is, it's.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
All arbitrary, just to attack people that we hate, and
it is not for the public benefit. In California, the
state auditor just found seventy billion dollars in fraud going
on in this state. The reason they need a wealth
tax is to cover up the fraud. The hole in
the budget in California is due to fraud. That's why
they're trying to tax.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
When you visit, everybody's yelled him. Now, so I'm good.
I'm good on that seventy billion. You know what's crazy
is if you look up the numbers for our country
as a whole. Because the amount of money out of
Minnesota right now seems staggering a couple billion dollars, but
the United States per year has an amount of government
fraud that is in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
(03:20):
And that's just the cost of doing business, according to
the organizations that audit this kind of stuff. Yes, we'd
like to catch them all, Yes, we'd like to get
them all in as much trouble as humanly possible, But
apparently we're also just going to accept it, which is
the biggest reason why.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
And you and I don't have to accept it.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I don't accept it, but the people in positions of power, unfortunately,
are going to continue to not be able to catch
all of it, or even a small percentage of it
in a lot of these cases. But the biggest reason
why I tell people all the time that the solution
to your problem is not the government is this is
this exact demonstration of it. Now, how does any of
(03:58):
this relate to Indiana? Several people have started to talk
about the changes that have been made to Medicaid. Medicare
a lot of things in Indiana over the course of
the last year. This is stuff where the leadership like
Mike Brown in Indiana were really attacked for the changes
that they were making by people on the left, by
people that are crazy Democrats, because they were saying it
(04:20):
was going to make it too hard for the victims
that need these sort of services to get the things
they need. Things like simply requiring people to demonstrate their
trying to work or that they might be working at
least part time in order to qualify for some of
these benefits were hateful out of some But right now,
the biggest focus is how much better off Indiana is
than Minnesota, a state very close to it, because of
(04:44):
the changes that were made and the likelihood that fraud
was removed much more from the equation in one place
than in another place. So that goes to the very
easy discussion point here, having a deterrent is more important
than over allowing something to be accessible, because you claim
that with the deterurn in place, you're hurting people that
(05:06):
deserve something. That is always the back and forth, the
yin and yang of this discussion, as the people on
the left will say somehow you've harmed some innocent person here.
They did that a lot when they talked about certain
voting law changes in places like Georgia. If you remember,
they called certain things Jim Crow two point zero and
then the outcome of an election after they did that
(05:27):
was that more black people voted than had ever voted
before in an election. So it seemed like the Jim
Crow two point h narrative failed. But they do that
everywhere no matter what it is. And in Indiana the
same thing, the same discussion about how you're being unfair
to people that need certain social services in order to survive,
(05:48):
and that if you don't ease these restrictions, then there
are people who are not going to get access to
the things they need of the long wait lists for
medicaid and whatnot are usually an example of this. But
which one would you prefer? Because at the end of
the day, and I will say it this way, the
amount of fraud that you have is going to impact
the ability for you to do good things to other people.
(06:11):
Those individuals who you say might be stuck in a
waiting list because they don't qualify for benefits the way
that they should qualify for benefits.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
If the restrictions were different, a.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Lot of those people might also be without any money
when they're not at the front of the line because
they're not the fraudsters, and a lot of them might
actually just be the fraudsters.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
That's the other component to it. It matters.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
But I think that this is truly a significant discussion,
and honestly, like this simple logic can be applied to anything.
When you talk about the difference in the border from
the past administration to this one, and the strength of
the deterrent that's being used, whether that deterrent is deporting people.
And I have this conversation a lot with people, mostly
(06:54):
because I'm married to someone from another country, about the
mean or the lack of compassion. And they say in
a lot of the polls that a lot of Americans
now feel this way about some deportation news. They've heard
that it goes too far, that it's too much, that
it's this or that. And I think the thing that
people fail to understand is the need for the deterrent
(07:17):
to be believed by the people who take advantage of
the system, And does that mean occasionally that you might
have to go a little bit more extreme than say
even you would want to. I mean, I recall something
from Trump's first term in office where they were talking
about the kids in cages stuff, and eventually Trump relented
on something the separation of families, you know, adults and
(07:40):
children at the border who are being apprehended there had
changed it and he said Malania told them to and whatnot.
But I remember at the time what Trump said to
the American people was that you have a heart and
you have a brain, and as even a leader in
our country. And people don't remember that Trump said this
because it's authentic and it's human, and it's you know,
the kind of thing other people might say, so disregard
(08:02):
that it happened. But anyway, the brain wants you to
do one thing, and the heart might want you to
do something else. People take advantage of our hearts all
the time in every aspect of the world. There are
people out there who want to do it. And especially
and again I don't mean to rant on this, but
I will when people live in this country without a
need to respect the values of the country they're in,
(08:24):
meaning they came here without going through the process legally
to become a citizen, to be asked to care about
our value system, and might even actually feel like they're
here intent to take advantage of the place they're in.
Refugees from Somalia are one example of people who may potentially,
I'm not saying all of them feel this way, but
may potentially feel as though the place they're in is
(08:45):
a place that they don't want to be in, and
the place they came from is a place they wish
was better, and so why not just take advantage of
this rich place there. You know, it's interesting. I'll tell
this a different way, and it's anecdotal. And as I'm
saying this, and I know the objection that people are
going to say to it, it's all crazy. This is
my own personal life. When I got married to my wife,
(09:06):
we got married in Mexico. It's very important to her
to be married near her family. We threw a party there.
Of course, we paid for it, the wedding and the reception.
And the funny thing is, like early on, I was
in my mid twenties, so I'm not making a bunch
of and I'm in radio, so I wasn't making a
bunch of money at all. But no one brought us
a gift at our wedding, like nobody the entire I
(09:27):
think maybe one person who was ashamed of the gift
they brought. And when I asked my wife why, later
she found out that most of her family assumed I
was rich because I'm an American, because I was, you know,
marrying into the family from elsewhere. So they just assumed
that I was so wealthy that how dare they even
give me gifts. There's even a thing a tradition at
Mexican weddings called the dollar dance, which is where you
(09:49):
come up and dance with the bride and groom and
you like give them dollars. They get pinned, I think,
to your jacket or something. There's some version of that.
It's kind of silly. I think I've seen it before.
They didn't do it for us, for me and my wife,
because again, they just assumed we're rich. And so there
are people who come from other countries with very negative
opinions of the United States who wind up living here
(10:11):
and have every desire to take advantage of it because
they feel entitled to do it. They feel like they're
allowed to harm this country that they think is unfairly
in a place that they're not in and so I
think that that does matter, that does deserve to be
talked about, and it seems to be at the heart
of some of the fraud going on, because when you
do fraud in the world of like daycres or autism
(10:33):
treatment or health care for the elderly, you really don't
care about the optics of what you're doing about the
people you're hurting about, the people who might actually need
this sort of thing. And so again, to go back
to the discussion from the changes that have been made
in the last year or so in Indiana, the prevention
mechanism is sometimes far more important to the value of
(10:57):
something than actually the mercy or the forgiving nature of
whatever the system is you're putting in place, because of
how many bad actors are out there with every interest,
every intention, and even a lot of motivation to do
something to harm you. All right, we'll take a break
a lot more in a very short amount of time left.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
We only got about forty five minutes left in the show.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Craig Collins filling in on Kendlan Casey ninety three WIBC.
This is the Kendall and Casey Show, ninety three WIBC.
My name is Craig Collins filling in Thrilled to be
with You. Producer Kylan is working on special assignment as well.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Over the holidays.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Y'all hiring was a viral reaction to a video that
went out online. A boss bought all of his employees
actual Christmas gifts, like fancy stuff, whether it was gift
cards to places. Somebody got a flat screen television. Other
people got like video game systems and stuff. But I
guess the boss of a smaller company somewhere in this
(11:58):
country I decided to go big on Christmas and buy
people actual presents. I think all the presents were capable
of being exchanged if you didn't want the thing to
but lots of stuff, thousands of dollars worth of things.
And so the reaction was, why don't more employers do this?
I have a couple sort of funny things in reaction
to this, But I'm wondering what Kylon thinks of an
(12:20):
actual Christmas where there's like a tree and then you
get real gifts from an employer.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
I didn't. There's an actual tree that he brought in
and everything.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, he put the presents under a tree. People's names
were on them. They opened them at the tail end
of the workday the day before they had a break
for Christmas, and they all got actual gifts inside the boxes.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Foam.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
How lovely, right, how over the top and ridiculous, but
also wonderful and honestly probably something that nobody else is
going to do, but definitely a fun thing that happened.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Recognition is deserved and across many different business industries. Taylor
Swift just made headlines of Yesterday's and I saw the story.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey were seen during the Christmas
Day game Arahead Stadium. Taylor Swift is run around seeing
Merry Christmas to all the workers, Thanks for being here
on Christmas Day.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Please take this Merry Christmas and handed them six hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Oh wow, hey, that's nice. That's great. That last part
was great. You're a swifty sort of right.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
I guess I have to bring her up in every
time I worked with.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Da You dabble in swiftiness is what it is. You're
swifty adjacent?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
All right? Cool? That is nice. There you go.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Well, it reminds me of the time that I was
working for a guy at w GEN Radio. I don't
even care. I think I can say it is now.
His name's Gary Meyer, a radio Hall of famer, a
fancy dude. I was his producer for years at WGN,
and there was a Christmas and he used to give
us like gifts and stuff, not like this, but like
something a little a bit.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
But there was a Christmas.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I was working with him and he forgot to get
something and he looked at me as like, you know, Craig,
did I get you something for Christmas?
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Yet?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
And I'm like, no, you didn't care.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
And he reached into his and pulled out like three
or four hundred bucks and just gave it to me. Wow,
so here you go, I know. And I was like
thanks Gary, and he was like you're welcome. You do
a good job, all right, I'll see you later. And
then he walked away, and I was like that was
this is a good Christmas for me. People underestimate the
value of just straight cash and how great that is,
because that's the one ba humbug thing I thought about
(14:20):
this story, even though it's cool and wholesome and great,
is that if you open something and you didn't want
it like that, probably is a little bit of a
letdown compared to someone just giving you money, which is
always always better, I think.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
But yeah, it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
It's nice, it's beautiful, it's lovely. Another story out there
I saw I just bragged about Gary Meyer. The guy
was doing well in his life at that time, so
I think the four hundred didn't matter much to him.
I think it was like four hundred bucks. I can't
even remember now. It was just a lot of cash.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
So did it actually.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Mean a lot to you then if you can't even remember, yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
We no, Yes, it did it meant a lot because
at the time, I think I might have inflated the
amount over time, if I'm being honest with you, Kylein
since you're putting them on the spot, I think that
it might have been three hundred and fifty bucks and
it's turned into four to five hundred bucks as time
has gone on. But I was a twenty something producer
man and.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
That was time.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, that was an amount of money.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I wasn't expecting that all of a sudden got put
in my hand, So it was it was really lovely,
but it was definitely more than three hundred dollars. I
will for sure die on that hill forever. But this
was also almost twenty years ago now that that happened.
So I'm just getting old is part of the problem,
all right. And I know a lot of people yelling
at the radios that forty isn't old. To anybody that's
younger than me, it is, all right, this is out there.
(15:33):
I thought this was interesting. Timothy Shallomey has been doing
a lot of crazy stunts to promote his newest movie.
It's a ping pong movie that apparently did much better
in the box office than people expected it to do.
But here's the thing about this. This is old school radio.
A radio all the time used to do crazy, you know,
publicity stunt things. One of my favorite stories is a
(15:57):
guy I worked with put his producer in the back
of a car, in the trunk of a car, and
they were at like a remote and they gave him
a microphone and he was testing the shocks of the
car by bouncing around in the trunk. And now, granted today,
that probably wouldn't be safe for something we did, but
that was very common place in radio back in the day.
I think it's something a lot of the social media
(16:18):
influencers do now, and Timothy Shallame apparently is doing this
where he's doing stunts and I think he flew a
hot air balloon or something at some point. All of
this to promote his new movie. People are wondering if
this is something more actors should do in the future.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
I think they've done a lot, especially with social media,
to be able to promote their films. But when you're
putting this much work into it, like Okay, Timothy, he
wore contact blenses that blurs his vision and then work
prescription glasses to correct it. Because of how much this
character relied on this wo yeah because.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yes, yeah, Well you're an actress.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Do you think that if you had to promote what's
going on at the zoo or something and they asked
to you like a crazy stunt, that you'd say yes
to it.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
If it was safe.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
I think I would.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
I would think if the stunt related back to the movie,
Like okay, so Marty Supreme is about right this table
times player, yeah, ping pong, And so if it were
some stunt around ping pong, like going with you know,
like dude perfect and doing a whole bunch of fun
trick shots.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
I think that was fun.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Okay, I got it.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Yes, Well, apparently the crazier the marketing, the more successful
it's going to be in today's society because of how
the Internet and social media and everything works. So again,
I just think this is old school radio popping back
into you know, mainstream culture in a way that we
all know this game. The longer you've been in radio,
the more you know how this game was done and
how successful it can be. And so crazy stunts feels
(17:50):
like it's absolutely okay. And you know what, I'll put
this out there before we take a break. I'm just
a part time guy who pops up occasionally at WIBC.
I'll do crazy stunts to promote this station. If you
guys want it, I'm totally fine with that. Fire me
out of a plane with a WIBC you know parachute,
That's totally cool with me. We'll figure it out. It
sounds absolutely great If it helps the station and also
(18:11):
helps me, I'm on board, so wib If WIBC is
looking for a hand to get raised, to get fired
out of a cannon, you know, during I don't know,
the next Indy five hundred with a WIBC flag, this
guy right here is willing to do that. Totally fine.
Hopefully it ends well for all involved. But all right,
we'll take another break. I like that you already agreed
(18:33):
to it, Kylon. I don't know that either one of
us have the power to get this done, but you're
on board. You would light the fuse to the cannon
they fire me out of.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Imagine it. I'm working this out.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
That'll be a New York eavesdrop instead of a ball drop.
We'll just be firing you out of a cannon.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, I'm gonna beg that's the new thing every time
I fill in on WIBC. Now I'm going to keep
promoting fire me out of a cannon somewhere in Indiana
to promote the radio station. And we'll see how long
it takes them to tell me to stop, because they're
probably never going to do it. But all right, quick
break a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on Kendall
and Casey ninety three WIBC. This is Kendall and Casey
(19:11):
ninety three WIBC. My name is Craig Collins, filling in.
Thrilled to be with you. I have decided that this
last half hour when filling in on the show is
when I get sick of news, and so I'm only
doing it begrudgingly in whatever way I can. But actually
I wanted to start with a year in review stuff.
I looked up a lot of these. I know that
(19:31):
producer Kylan was finding some of these two before the show.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Just a bunch of different year and review.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Lists of stuff that happened that you might think of
as the most significant or newsworthy moments of the year.
Here's what I thought was funny about a bunch of
these lists is several of them include jeans in Sydney Sweeney,
the American Eagle Campaign, and Sidney Sweeney and jeans and
all the stuff that was talked.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
About in reaction to it.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
There's two reasons that I think that this story actually
became incredibly viral. The first one is just Sidney Sweeney.
She was already someone who was getting talked about a
lot in media, someone who has cared about a lot
for a variety of reasons, one of them being that
she's exceptionally attractive and also an actress who I think
actually did one of her best acting gigs.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
This one of her best.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Roles in movies, at least according to a lot of
the critics happened this year. It's not talked about as
much as the gene ad, but it is a thing.
But the other thing that's funny about it to me
is that people I think infused politics in a place
that it wasn't intent to go. I do not think
American Eagle was trying to make a political statement. I
do not think Sidney Sweeney was trying to make a
political statement, even as someone who wound up being outed
(20:44):
as a dirty conservative, as a horrible person, or at
least potentially a family member of conservatives. But I just
thought it was so funny that this made the list, Like,
there's way more important things that happened in our society
than a discussion about an ad about genes involving an
attractive actress. But it's every list I'm on, I see
(21:05):
that it's mentioned at least there. Other lists include things
like Jimmy Kimmel being a big deal, even though it
didn't feel like a big deal to a whole lot
of us that he was suspended for a few days
for saying what obviously were pretty awful things other than
he pretended he didn't mean the way they came out,
or even pretended he didn't say them the way they
(21:25):
were said, essentially blaming the person who killed Charlie Kirk
of being a conservative and then blaming conservative somehow for
trying to cover that up. All of it was crazy,
but that story was a Year in Review thing. I
also saw that Sean Diddy Colms definitely made the list
of year and Review stuff because he was convicted and
sentenced to prison for being a truly awful, terrible person.
(21:48):
And then this one really amused me as far as
things on this list too. And actually, Travis Kelcey and
Taylor Swift getting engaged was on USA Today's top eight
or ten things.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Per Year in Review.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
That he makes Kylon happy that that Travis and Taylor
made the list. But Katy Perry, what is that?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Would you?
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Says Taylor intro that okay?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Is that their name? Their name is Tavis, it's one
of the ship names.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yet, oh my god, that is I feel terrible that
the were okay, fine, that's fine. One of the other
ones that amused me that was on this list is
Katie Perry going to Space, which people really hated at
the beginning of the year, and I thought was also
tremendously stupid in the way they behaved. A Gail King
and Katy Perry I think did an interview where they
called themselves astronauts, which was uniquely hilarious to me. But
(22:35):
how many people really hated this story? And again, you
know what's funny about this list and all the things
I'm telling you, none of them involved Trump. President Trump
feels as though he controls a lot of the daily
news cycle, for good or for worse. If you love
him or you hate him, he's probably for both of
those reasons, someone you think about a lot, and whatever's
(22:56):
going on with him. Of course, Pea steals all these
things that he pumplished not going to be in any
of these year and reviews lists. But even any of
the things that they said were bad that happened that
involved Trump still not on the list. The only sort
of tangential connection on some of these to Trump is
Colbert and Kimmel, who, of course they blame Trump for
(23:17):
the fact that late night television is nowhere near as
good as it used to be, nowhere near as watched
as it used to be, and likely to be dying.
I assume that in the next few years, all of
the late night TV people will be out of a
gig because no one watches it there. People either watch
the clips online or watch something else entirely, like the
audience has absolutely shrunk for late night comedy television that
(23:40):
is overly one sided anyway, But I just thought that
was interesting that that most of these lists don't even
mention politics at all, even though at this point it
feels like politics is part of your everyday life. And
then finally, one last one on the list, and I
don't know, Kylin, if you know anything about this one?
K Pop Demon Hunters and the cultural phenomenon that was
that Netflix cartoon apparently is deserving of a list of
(24:04):
the most influential or most important things that happened in
twenty twenty five, the K Pop and the Demon and
the Hunters. Do you have any thoughts on that one?
Speaker 5 (24:13):
One hundred percent? It should be listed.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
It was a global phenomenon.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Okay, did you like it? Did you enjoy the K
Pop Demon Hunters?
Speaker 4 (24:21):
I did. I enjoyed the movie. I thought it was fun.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
And the music it gets stuck in your brain. Did
you ever listen to the song?
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I've I've heard some of the songs and because a
couple of them wound up being like top chart hits
and stuff, so you play them all the time.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Like Golden I think was one of the ones. Oh
here we go. Ah yeah, yeah, it is.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
The Halloween costumes too, It really was.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
It was a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
But the thing that amuses me about the K Pop
Demon Hunters is how many people are going to probably
try to do another version of this in the near
future and try to.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Make that successful.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
And also the way that it was something discovered by
people who don't have kids, because for me, I wound
up being told about it a whole lot of times.
And actually I was so I was doing this thing
on weekends in Houston when I first moved here. I
was helping out at the food bank, and I was
hosting volunteers that showed up at the food bank to volunteer.
(25:20):
They called you a volunteer host and like you brought
people around to their area and taught them how to
do you know, a volunteer shift for There was a
lot of fun. I really liked that gig. I probably
should still be doing it, but I'm not. And anyway,
as I was doing that, we would let people give
music suggestions.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
And all the time.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Every shift, kids would come up and be like, play
this K pop Demon Hunter thing, play this K pop
demon Hunter thing, And I'm like, what is that? Why
are you children all asking for a demon hunter? It
makes no sense to me, But eventually you figure out
what it is because everybody was like loved it. Although
I will say that in a three hour volunteer shift
you could not allow them to keep her quest in
(26:00):
K Pop Demon Hunters because the rest of the group
would be very upset that that music was all we
were playing on repeat.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
It was if you have any thoughts, get go?
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Was the number one pick at the zoo for Zoo Boo?
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Everyone would be playing the Golden or any of the
other K pop demon yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
All the time.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
So did you know about it before people started asking
for it or did you learn about it because of
the gig you had.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
At the time.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
My nieces and my younger sister both were They both
dressed up as the K Pop Demon Hunters.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
They were all about it, so I watched it with them.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Yeah, okay, I get it because like for me, it
really took a while to understand that it wasn't something
that was inappropriate that the kids probably shouldn't be watching,
because when they tell you they want to hear K
pop Demon Hunters party, who is like, I don't know,
I don't know what's occurring here? Did you watch a
scary movie you're not supposed to watch? How did this happen?
One last one on the list of things to remember
from this past year, And I thought it was kind
(26:55):
of hilarious that it made the list too, But Kendrick
Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show actually.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Was thought of as one of the more marking moments
of this year. I think that is the influence of
social media.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
When I look at these lists and some of the
things on it, I think that the TikTok and I
like calling it the TikTok because it makes me sound old,
and all the different versions of people doing the Kendrick
Lamar dance and whatnot after that thing was the thing
that happened in our society made it more impactful than
it actually was, because to me, it wasn't even really
(27:28):
all that good of it. It was an okay halftime show.
It wasn't excellent, it wasn't terrible, it was fine. And
then I moved on to watch the rest of the
football game, but darn it, I'm usually there for the
football and not actually the halftime show. So I just
thought it was interesting that made the list too, But
I think it had a longer shelf life because of
the way social media works.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Now Cold Place Kiss King also made the list, and
I think that's, oh yeah, because of social media.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yes, that entirely because of social media.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
I mean that story was crazy where you know, the
CEO and the HR person are definitely in some kind
of version of an affair, whether it's you know, at
the beginning, so I don't know what it was, and
I don't know what they've even said about it, but
both lose their jobs. A part of the reason that
was probably so viral, and I remember talking about it
on the Matt and Craig Excellent Podcast, which is a
(28:14):
podcast you can check out a part of the WIBC family,
Matt Bear and I talk about all kinds of crazy things.
I think part of it was the fact that the
internet sluice could figure out who they were, you know, like,
I think it only would have had so much shelf
life if they remained a mystery who the people are.
But once you find out who the guy is, what
company he works for, what her job is. It became
(28:35):
so much more of a thing, and I think a
lot of people might have had financial resentment as a
reason that they were motivated to make it such a thing.
But nonetheless, I just thought it was interesting that without
the ability to figure that out, this probably is almost
a nothing story, very quickly hapened.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
All right.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
On that note, I don't know, is there anything else
you wanted to mention, Kylon that you saw on your
lists of big things that happened this year?
Speaker 4 (28:58):
There's plenty of the tiny little ones.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Katy Perry was one that kept popping up online, which
I completely forgot about. There's so many of those that
it's just been such a long year. I'm stuck in
like July.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Sure, yea, I know.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
It is interesting to go through these lists and remember
all the things that did get talked about a lot,
because they did unwind up being bigger topics, at least
for a few days in the world of you know,
what we pay attention to and what we don't pay
attention to. But it is funny when you go back
and see it, how few things actually even involve politics.
Because the last thing I'll say, and this is just
something I've been thinking a lot toward the end of
(29:32):
the year, and as a guy who does political radio
as a living, that you do feel like and I
know that. I think I've mentioned the reason South Park
claims that it's done so much anti Trump stuff is
partially because of what they think politically, of course, but
then also partially because they say that Trump is is
pop culture in today's society, that you know, politics is
(29:54):
so mainstream, people talk about it so much, but then
you go through these lists and you see so little
of it that you're mind how often.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Although I guess there's a political.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Spin to several of these stories, whether it's you know,
the Sydney Sweeney thing, what it might be, it's not
politics directly, but politics indirectly. That feels like it's a
portion of several of this stuff. So maybe that's what
people mean. But I think it's kind of a nice
reminder that there's a lot of stories out there that
have almost no connection to politics that wind up being
(30:24):
a big thing that we talk about a lot. That
seems like a nice demonstration that we are not, as
you know, singularly focused as people might think on some
of these bigger news stories that are out there all
the time. All Right, we'll take a break, we'll come back.
We'll wrap up the show in all kinds of exciting ways.
Craig Collins filling in producer Kylon hanging out on Kendall
and casey ninety three WIBC. This is Kendall and Case
(30:48):
ninety three WIBC. My name is Craig Collins, filling in
producer Kylan hanging out as well. I was actually going
to start this segment by asking if you had New
Year's Eve plans, Kylan, I'm just curious. My wife and
I I have made what I think are pretty unique
plans compared to what we usually do on New Year's Eve.
And the reason we made the unique plans is that
(31:08):
we moved to a new place. So before I tell
you what mine are, do you have anything that you're
planning to do this year for the holiday?
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Normally I spend my time with my friend.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
I spent New Year's Eve with her since high school
and so that's always been a tradition. But my family's
in town this year, so I'll be going back to
my hometown.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Gotcha, And so the friend is getting abandoned.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Yep, having good luck?
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Yeah, is a friend complaining about that at all?
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Have there been texts about how dare you?
Speaker 5 (31:36):
So I'll stop in before I head down and just
say hey for at least Senior's Eve? But no, I
won't be any midnight drop or anything with her.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Okay, I got it.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
So my wife was starting to ask me, like, earlier
this past week. The job she has, she gets time
off around the holiday.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Everybody does.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
The whole company kind of shuts down for like a week,
so everybody has to use vacation to get paid for
that week, but they all do it. It seems like
it's fine. So she's off of work the entirety of
this week and part of last week, and so she
started to ask me, like what we should do for
New Year's Eve? And I actually work a lot in
the holidays. So my decision was, let's do something where
(32:15):
I'm still going to be able to not have to, like,
you know, cancel on anything. But she eventually landed on
We're going to go to Galveston, Texas, which is the
beachy area of.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
The place in which I live.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
There's part of a beach there on the Gulf of
America that you know, we're going to be in a
hotel and we're probably going to go to some sort
of fancy hotel party. We haven't done something that's like
go out fancy for New Year's Eve in years, and
so it's just so odd that my wife was the
one who was inspired to tell me to try this,
and now we're going to do it. And even some
(32:47):
people I work with here in Texas have been asking
me what our plans are, like, Oh, like that is
the party place to go for New Year's Eve. I
don't think we're young enough to do the thing that
we're going to try to do with all the partying
and whatnot.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
That'll take place.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
And I know people on the chat are telling me
that forty is not old at all, and I get it.
I understand that if you're older than forty, it's not
old at all. But I also probably want to be
in bed by like twelve oh one. That's just me,
and it sounds like that might not happen this New
Year's Eve with the plan that we have concocted.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Do you do any of the New Year's superstitions.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
The like you gotta kiss right at midnight thing?
Speaker 5 (33:24):
The kiss at midnight, eating grapes under the table, throwing
salt do or like it's even okaying up the doors.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
I don't know what the opening up the doors one is.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
I know about the grapes because my wife does the grapes,
and then we do have to kiss, she tells me
on New Year's Eve right at midnight, or our year
is doomed, we will be screwed. So that tradition has
lasted every New Year's Eve since we were dating. And
I think I would get like hit with something if
we didn't do that right then. But those are the
only two we do. And I don't know anything about
the salt to the door one. I don't know what
(33:54):
you're talking about with the door.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
I've heard somewhere you have to open up the doors
and windows so you let out anything left over from
the old year to go fresh into the new year.
That's been one, okay, Yeah, eating twelve grapes twelve exactly right.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Yeah, that one I know about.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
And I don't know why that's a thing, but we
have to eat twelve grapes, and so that I don't
think I have to do it anymore. I think I
was forced to do it at some point for a while.
But now just Betty eats the twelve grapes and I
think that still works.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
I'm much more superstitious about sports than New Year's Eve.
I'm pretty sure that I helped the Blackhawks win a
Stanley Cup and the Bulls win a NBA Championship. Well,
in my living room, I'm fairly certain that I deserve
a ring that no one has sent me yet. But
when it comes to Year's Eve, I all bets are off.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Some people.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
Man, they even go down to the underwear, Like what
color underwear means? Whatever you're going to be wanting for
in the new year. So red is romance?
Speaker 4 (34:47):
White?
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Hee yellow as wealth? Hey, if you want to go
down to that level, here's.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Wait, how do you know this? I'm just curious how
you know? Has someone told you this before?
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Is this the thing? Okay?
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Terry Sutton, who I work with, she is all about
the superstitions.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Yep, gotcha.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
So Terry Stacy is very in on. Wait, are those
the only three colors that matter?
Speaker 3 (35:08):
That?
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Are there more?
Speaker 4 (35:09):
No, there's plenty more. There's one for each color. But
those are like the top three that.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
You want romance wealth? Would wealth be green wealth?
Speaker 4 (35:18):
They had a yellow like gold?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Okay, has green mean?
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Then?
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Do you know what green means?
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Let me look at it.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
I want to know.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
I want to know about that is for some other reason.
I'm not really sure. Maybe it's something terrible. Maybe that's
the problem. Maybe anytime the year doesn't go well. I
didn't realize that my underwear played a component in that.
I can't wait to tell my wife this after the
show is over today, Kylon and have her look at
me like I'm an insane person, because that'll happen at
some point. What else does Terry Stacey feel? Are the
(35:48):
you know, superstitions of New Year's Eve that we need
to know about.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
Some food that you're supposed to skip, like not eating
lobs or even though that's a I feel.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
Like your seafood is a big one. On New Day.
Speaker 5 (36:01):
Yeah, there's a couple of those getting cash out of
the ATM, so you start the new year with money,
so then you can, okay, lead into the new year.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
When are we working together again? Are you and I
working together again this holiday season?
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Or no?
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Tony Katz okay, and what day are we working? Tony
kats together.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Is that tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Oh Friday? Okay, I think you got a book, Terry Stacey.
I think if you can get her to be on
the show as a guest. I think that has to
happen now because I have to know about all the superstitions.
Granted that would be after New Year's Eve, so I
would have screwed them up, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
But she can tell me all the things I got wrong?
Speaker 4 (36:32):
Will it to fix it? If you already are right?
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Yeah, tell me the remedy for the New Year's resolution
and thing that I got wrong. But that might happen.
Try to get your friend Terry Stacy on the show
on Friday. That sounds great.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
We're out of here. We're done.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
I will be on the Dana Show tonight and actually
nationally so you can hear me there. And then Kylin
hangs out with Terry Stacy all the time, so you
can hear her there too.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
But talk to you guys later. Have a great new year.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Greg Collins filling in Kendall and Casey along with producer
Kylin ninety three w I B C.
This is the Kendall and Casey Show, ninety three WIBC.
My name is Craig Collins, filling in.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Thrilled to be with you.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
A bunch of stuff out there to talk about.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
In the news.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
You heard a report in the sports about how Philip
Rivers is unlikely to play the last game of the
season for the Colts. They're going to let Riley Leonard play.
It's not a big sports take, it's just a simple one.
Let the man play. The season's over. The Colts were
eliminated before they even played this past weekend, so let
Rivers play one more game.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Man.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
It's been fun to watch him, even if some of
the throws have been terrible, and if that late interception
was also not a good throw by any set of
professional standards.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Just come on, like, one more.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Game for Philip, a guy who's having a blast as
he helped the Colts get eliminated from the playoffs and
has gone zero to three so far as a starter.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Just give him one more.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
You know, Riley Leonard has already been sat on the
bench more than he probably should have been, and injuries
were supposedly the reason why. Who cares, man, Just let
the dude, play one more game. That's my take in
the world of the cults and football, and how sad
it is that that team fell apart, only the third
team in the history of the NFL since the playoffs
were expanded to twelve teams to start eight and two
(01:12):
and not make the playoffs is not a good look.
So yes, just let the guy play. It's the most
fun story in sports right now to me. All right now,
getting into politics, Scott Jennings said something on CNN last
night that I thought was pretty interesting. This is a
take about California and how they're going to tax more billionaires.
(01:34):
This is something that's always popular for Democrats to say.
Whether or not they actually do it is another thing,
And whether or not there's loopholes that help people not
actually pay these taxes another thing entirely. And of course,
also just vilifying people who are successful seems like a
bad strategy since those successful people might just leave the
state you're in. But Jennings had an interesting take as
(01:55):
to why he thinks this is happening, and it feels
like it's very much inspired by what's going on in
Minnesota and a lot of other places. And I'll tell
you how that relates to Indiana in just a second.
But first here, let's play this. Let's play what Jennings
said on CNN about the craziness of California turning on
the uber wealthy there.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
It's not a it's not a millionaire tax. It's a
billionaire tax.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
And the idea would be, I guess, to use that
revenue in order to offer improvements for the average Californian.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Worth debating why why pick a billion? Why in Washington
did you pick a million? Why don't Why don't you
pick nine hundred and ninetynine thousand, nine hundred? Why not
pick five hundred thousand? Why pick five percent?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Why not six? Why not ten?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Why not twenty? Why not fifty?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
The thing is, it's.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
All arbitrary, just to attack people that we hate, and
it is not for the public benefit. In California, the
state auditor just found seventy billion dollars in fraud going
on in this state. The reason they need a wealth
tax is to cover up the fraud. The hole in
the budget in California is due to fraud. That's why
they're trying to tax.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
When you visit, everybody's yelled him. Now, so I'm good.
I'm good on that seventy billion. You know what's crazy
is if you look up the numbers for our country
as a whole. Because the amount of money out of
Minnesota right now seems staggering a couple billion dollars, but
the United States per year has an amount of government
fraud that is in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
(03:20):
And that's just the cost of doing business, according to
the organizations that audit this kind of stuff. Yes, we'd
like to catch them all, Yes, we'd like to get
them all in as much trouble as humanly possible, But
apparently we're also just going to accept it, which is
the biggest reason why.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
And you and I don't have to accept it.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I don't accept it, but the people in positions of power, unfortunately,
are going to continue to not be able to catch
all of it, or even a small percentage of it
in a lot of these cases. But the biggest reason
why I tell people all the time that the solution
to your problem is not the government is this is
this exact demonstration of it. Now, how does any of
(03:58):
this relate to Indiana? Several people have started to talk
about the changes that have been made to Medicaid. Medicare
a lot of things in Indiana over the course of
the last year. This is stuff where the leadership like
Mike Brown in Indiana were really attacked for the changes
that they were making by people on the left, by
people that are crazy Democrats, because they were saying it
(04:20):
was going to make it too hard for the victims
that need these sort of services to get the things
they need. Things like simply requiring people to demonstrate their
trying to work or that they might be working at
least part time in order to qualify for some of
these benefits were hateful out of some But right now,
the biggest focus is how much better off Indiana is
than Minnesota, a state very close to it, because of
(04:44):
the changes that were made and the likelihood that fraud
was removed much more from the equation in one place
than in another place. So that goes to the very
easy discussion point here, having a deterrent is more important
than over allowing something to be accessible, because you claim
that with the deterurn in place, you're hurting people that
(05:06):
deserve something. That is always the back and forth, the
yin and yang of this discussion, as the people on
the left will say somehow you've harmed some innocent person here.
They did that a lot when they talked about certain
voting law changes in places like Georgia. If you remember,
they called certain things Jim Crow two point zero and
then the outcome of an election after they did that
(05:27):
was that more black people voted than had ever voted
before in an election. So it seemed like the Jim
Crow two point h narrative failed. But they do that
everywhere no matter what it is. And in Indiana the
same thing, the same discussion about how you're being unfair
to people that need certain social services in order to survive,
(05:48):
and that if you don't ease these restrictions, then there
are people who are not going to get access to
the things they need of the long wait lists for
medicaid and whatnot are usually an example of this. But
which one would you prefer? Because at the end of
the day, and I will say it this way, the
amount of fraud that you have is going to impact
the ability for you to do good things to other people.
(06:11):
Those individuals who you say might be stuck in a
waiting list because they don't qualify for benefits the way
that they should qualify for benefits.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
If the restrictions were different, a.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Lot of those people might also be without any money
when they're not at the front of the line because
they're not the fraudsters, and a lot of them might
actually just be the fraudsters.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
That's the other component to it. It matters.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
But I think that this is truly a significant discussion,
and honestly, like this simple logic can be applied to anything.
When you talk about the difference in the border from
the past administration to this one, and the strength of
the deterrent that's being used, whether that deterrent is deporting people.
And I have this conversation a lot with people, mostly
(06:54):
because I'm married to someone from another country, about the
mean or the lack of compassion. And they say in
a lot of the polls that a lot of Americans
now feel this way about some deportation news. They've heard
that it goes too far, that it's too much, that
it's this or that. And I think the thing that
people fail to understand is the need for the deterrent
(07:17):
to be believed by the people who take advantage of
the system, And does that mean occasionally that you might
have to go a little bit more extreme than say
even you would want to. I mean, I recall something
from Trump's first term in office where they were talking
about the kids in cages stuff, and eventually Trump relented
on something the separation of families, you know, adults and
(07:40):
children at the border who are being apprehended there had
changed it and he said Malania told them to and whatnot.
But I remember at the time what Trump said to
the American people was that you have a heart and
you have a brain, and as even a leader in
our country. And people don't remember that Trump said this
because it's authentic and it's human, and it's you know,
the kind of thing other people might say, so disregard
(08:02):
that it happened. But anyway, the brain wants you to
do one thing, and the heart might want you to
do something else. People take advantage of our hearts all
the time in every aspect of the world. There are
people out there who want to do it. And especially
and again I don't mean to rant on this, but
I will when people live in this country without a
need to respect the values of the country they're in,
(08:24):
meaning they came here without going through the process legally
to become a citizen, to be asked to care about
our value system, and might even actually feel like they're
here intent to take advantage of the place they're in.
Refugees from Somalia are one example of people who may potentially,
I'm not saying all of them feel this way, but
may potentially feel as though the place they're in is
(08:45):
a place that they don't want to be in, and
the place they came from is a place they wish
was better, and so why not just take advantage of
this rich place there. You know, it's interesting. I'll tell
this a different way, and it's anecdotal. And as I'm
saying this, and I know the objection that people are
going to say to it, it's all crazy. This is
my own personal life. When I got married to my wife,
(09:06):
we got married in Mexico. It's very important to her
to be married near her family. We threw a party there.
Of course, we paid for it, the wedding and the reception.
And the funny thing is, like early on, I was
in my mid twenties, so I'm not making a bunch
of and I'm in radio, so I wasn't making a
bunch of money at all. But no one brought us
a gift at our wedding, like nobody the entire I
(09:27):
think maybe one person who was ashamed of the gift
they brought. And when I asked my wife why, later
she found out that most of her family assumed I
was rich because I'm an American, because I was, you know,
marrying into the family from elsewhere. So they just assumed
that I was so wealthy that how dare they even
give me gifts. There's even a thing a tradition at
Mexican weddings called the dollar dance, which is where you
(09:49):
come up and dance with the bride and groom and
you like give them dollars. They get pinned, I think,
to your jacket or something. There's some version of that.
It's kind of silly. I think I've seen it before.
They didn't do it for us, for me and my wife,
because again, they just assumed we're rich. And so there
are people who come from other countries with very negative
opinions of the United States who wind up living here
(10:11):
and have every desire to take advantage of it because
they feel entitled to do it. They feel like they're
allowed to harm this country that they think is unfairly
in a place that they're not in and so I
think that that does matter, that does deserve to be
talked about, and it seems to be at the heart
of some of the fraud going on, because when you
do fraud in the world of like daycres or autism
(10:33):
treatment or health care for the elderly, you really don't
care about the optics of what you're doing about the
people you're hurting about, the people who might actually need
this sort of thing. And so again, to go back
to the discussion from the changes that have been made
in the last year or so in Indiana, the prevention
mechanism is sometimes far more important to the value of
(10:57):
something than actually the mercy or the forgiving nature of
whatever the system is you're putting in place, because of
how many bad actors are out there with every interest,
every intention, and even a lot of motivation to do
something to harm you. All right, we'll take a break
a lot more in a very short amount of time left.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
We only got about forty five minutes left in the show.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Craig Collins filling in on Kendlan Casey ninety three WIBC.
This is the Kendall and Casey Show, ninety three WIBC.
My name is Craig Collins filling in Thrilled to be
with You. Producer Kylan is working on special assignment as well.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Over the holidays.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Y'all hiring was a viral reaction to a video that
went out online. A boss bought all of his employees
actual Christmas gifts, like fancy stuff, whether it was gift
cards to places. Somebody got a flat screen television. Other
people got like video game systems and stuff. But I
guess the boss of a smaller company somewhere in this
(11:58):
country I decided to go big on Christmas and buy
people actual presents. I think all the presents were capable
of being exchanged if you didn't want the thing to
but lots of stuff, thousands of dollars worth of things.
And so the reaction was, why don't more employers do this?
I have a couple sort of funny things in reaction
to this, But I'm wondering what Kylon thinks of an
(12:20):
actual Christmas where there's like a tree and then you
get real gifts from an employer.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
I didn't. There's an actual tree that he brought in
and everything.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, he put the presents under a tree. People's names
were on them. They opened them at the tail end
of the workday the day before they had a break
for Christmas, and they all got actual gifts inside the boxes.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Foam.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
How lovely, right, how over the top and ridiculous, but
also wonderful and honestly probably something that nobody else is
going to do, but definitely a fun thing that happened.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Recognition is deserved and across many different business industries. Taylor
Swift just made headlines of Yesterday's and I saw the story.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey were seen during the Christmas
Day game Arahead Stadium. Taylor Swift is run around seeing
Merry Christmas to all the workers, Thanks for being here
on Christmas Day.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Please take this Merry Christmas and handed them six hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Oh wow, hey, that's nice. That's great. That last part
was great. You're a swifty sort of right.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
I guess I have to bring her up in every
time I worked with.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Da You dabble in swiftiness is what it is. You're
swifty adjacent?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
All right? Cool? That is nice. There you go.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Well, it reminds me of the time that I was
working for a guy at w GEN Radio. I don't
even care. I think I can say it is now.
His name's Gary Meyer, a radio Hall of famer, a
fancy dude. I was his producer for years at WGN,
and there was a Christmas and he used to give
us like gifts and stuff, not like this, but like
something a little a bit.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
But there was a Christmas.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I was working with him and he forgot to get
something and he looked at me as like, you know, Craig,
did I get you something for Christmas?
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Yet?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
And I'm like, no, you didn't care.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
And he reached into his and pulled out like three
or four hundred bucks and just gave it to me. Wow,
so here you go, I know. And I was like
thanks Gary, and he was like you're welcome. You do
a good job, all right, I'll see you later. And
then he walked away, and I was like that was
this is a good Christmas for me. People underestimate the
value of just straight cash and how great that is,
because that's the one ba humbug thing I thought about
(14:20):
this story, even though it's cool and wholesome and great,
is that if you open something and you didn't want
it like that, probably is a little bit of a
letdown compared to someone just giving you money, which is
always always better, I think.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
But yeah, it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
It's nice, it's beautiful, it's lovely. Another story out there
I saw I just bragged about Gary Meyer. The guy
was doing well in his life at that time, so
I think the four hundred didn't matter much to him.
I think it was like four hundred bucks. I can't
even remember now. It was just a lot of cash.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
So did it actually.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Mean a lot to you then if you can't even remember, yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
We no, Yes, it did it meant a lot because
at the time, I think I might have inflated the
amount over time, if I'm being honest with you, Kylein
since you're putting them on the spot, I think that
it might have been three hundred and fifty bucks and
it's turned into four to five hundred bucks as time
has gone on. But I was a twenty something producer
man and.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
That was time.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, that was an amount of money.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I wasn't expecting that all of a sudden got put
in my hand, So it was it was really lovely,
but it was definitely more than three hundred dollars. I
will for sure die on that hill forever. But this
was also almost twenty years ago now that that happened.
So I'm just getting old is part of the problem,
all right. And I know a lot of people yelling
at the radios that forty isn't old. To anybody that's
younger than me, it is, all right, this is out there.
(15:33):
I thought this was interesting. Timothy Shallomey has been doing
a lot of crazy stunts to promote his newest movie.
It's a ping pong movie that apparently did much better
in the box office than people expected it to do.
But here's the thing about this. This is old school radio.
A radio all the time used to do crazy, you know,
publicity stunt things. One of my favorite stories is a
(15:57):
guy I worked with put his producer in the back
of a car, in the trunk of a car, and
they were at like a remote and they gave him
a microphone and he was testing the shocks of the
car by bouncing around in the trunk. And now, granted today,
that probably wouldn't be safe for something we did, but
that was very common place in radio back in the day.
I think it's something a lot of the social media
(16:18):
influencers do now, and Timothy Shallame apparently is doing this
where he's doing stunts and I think he flew a
hot air balloon or something at some point. All of
this to promote his new movie. People are wondering if
this is something more actors should do in the future.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
I think they've done a lot, especially with social media,
to be able to promote their films. But when you're
putting this much work into it, like Okay, Timothy, he
wore contact blenses that blurs his vision and then work
prescription glasses to correct it. Because of how much this
character relied on this wo yeah because.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yes, yeah, Well you're an actress.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Do you think that if you had to promote what's
going on at the zoo or something and they asked
to you like a crazy stunt, that you'd say yes
to it.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
If it was safe.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
I think I would.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
I would think if the stunt related back to the movie,
Like okay, so Marty Supreme is about right this table
times player, yeah, ping pong, And so if it were
some stunt around ping pong, like going with you know,
like dude perfect and doing a whole bunch of fun
trick shots.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
I think that was fun.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Okay, I got it.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Yes, Well, apparently the crazier the marketing, the more successful
it's going to be in today's society because of how
the Internet and social media and everything works. So again,
I just think this is old school radio popping back
into you know, mainstream culture in a way that we
all know this game. The longer you've been in radio,
the more you know how this game was done and
how successful it can be. And so crazy stunts feels
(17:50):
like it's absolutely okay. And you know what, I'll put
this out there before we take a break. I'm just
a part time guy who pops up occasionally at WIBC.
I'll do crazy stunts to promote this station. If you
guys want it, I'm totally fine with that. Fire me
out of a plane with a WIBC you know parachute,
That's totally cool with me. We'll figure it out. It
sounds absolutely great If it helps the station and also
(18:11):
helps me, I'm on board, so wib If WIBC is
looking for a hand to get raised, to get fired
out of a cannon, you know, during I don't know,
the next Indy five hundred with a WIBC flag, this
guy right here is willing to do that. Totally fine.
Hopefully it ends well for all involved. But all right,
we'll take another break. I like that you already agreed
(18:33):
to it, Kylon. I don't know that either one of
us have the power to get this done, but you're
on board. You would light the fuse to the cannon
they fire me out of.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Imagine it. I'm working this out.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
That'll be a New York eavesdrop instead of a ball drop.
We'll just be firing you out of a cannon.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, I'm gonna beg that's the new thing every time
I fill in on WIBC. Now I'm going to keep
promoting fire me out of a cannon somewhere in Indiana
to promote the radio station. And we'll see how long
it takes them to tell me to stop, because they're
probably never going to do it. But all right, quick
break a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on Kendall
and Casey ninety three WIBC. This is Kendall and Casey
(19:11):
ninety three WIBC. My name is Craig Collins, filling in.
Thrilled to be with you. I have decided that this
last half hour when filling in on the show is
when I get sick of news, and so I'm only
doing it begrudgingly in whatever way I can. But actually
I wanted to start with a year in review stuff.
I looked up a lot of these. I know that
(19:31):
producer Kylan was finding some of these two before the show.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Just a bunch of different year and review.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Lists of stuff that happened that you might think of
as the most significant or newsworthy moments of the year.
Here's what I thought was funny about a bunch of
these lists is several of them include jeans in Sydney Sweeney,
the American Eagle Campaign, and Sidney Sweeney and jeans and
all the stuff that was talked.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
About in reaction to it.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
There's two reasons that I think that this story actually
became incredibly viral. The first one is just Sidney Sweeney.
She was already someone who was getting talked about a
lot in media, someone who has cared about a lot
for a variety of reasons, one of them being that
she's exceptionally attractive and also an actress who I think
actually did one of her best acting gigs.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
This one of her best.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Roles in movies, at least according to a lot of
the critics happened this year. It's not talked about as
much as the gene ad, but it is a thing.
But the other thing that's funny about it to me
is that people I think infused politics in a place
that it wasn't intent to go. I do not think
American Eagle was trying to make a political statement. I
do not think Sidney Sweeney was trying to make a
political statement, even as someone who wound up being outed
(20:44):
as a dirty conservative, as a horrible person, or at
least potentially a family member of conservatives. But I just
thought it was so funny that this made the list, Like,
there's way more important things that happened in our society
than a discussion about an ad about genes involving an
attractive actress. But it's every list I'm on, I see
(21:05):
that it's mentioned at least there. Other lists include things
like Jimmy Kimmel being a big deal, even though it
didn't feel like a big deal to a whole lot
of us that he was suspended for a few days
for saying what obviously were pretty awful things other than
he pretended he didn't mean the way they came out,
or even pretended he didn't say them the way they
(21:25):
were said, essentially blaming the person who killed Charlie Kirk
of being a conservative and then blaming conservative somehow for
trying to cover that up. All of it was crazy,
but that story was a Year in Review thing. I
also saw that Sean Diddy Colms definitely made the list
of year and Review stuff because he was convicted and
sentenced to prison for being a truly awful, terrible person.
(21:48):
And then this one really amused me as far as
things on this list too. And actually, Travis Kelcey and
Taylor Swift getting engaged was on USA Today's top eight
or ten things.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Per Year in Review.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
That he makes Kylon happy that that Travis and Taylor
made the list. But Katy Perry, what is that?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Would you?
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Says Taylor intro that okay?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Is that their name? Their name is Tavis, it's one
of the ship names.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yet, oh my god, that is I feel terrible that
the were okay, fine, that's fine. One of the other
ones that amused me that was on this list is
Katie Perry going to Space, which people really hated at
the beginning of the year, and I thought was also
tremendously stupid in the way they behaved. A Gail King
and Katy Perry I think did an interview where they
called themselves astronauts, which was uniquely hilarious to me. But
(22:35):
how many people really hated this story? And again, you
know what's funny about this list and all the things
I'm telling you, none of them involved Trump. President Trump
feels as though he controls a lot of the daily
news cycle, for good or for worse. If you love
him or you hate him, he's probably for both of
those reasons, someone you think about a lot, and whatever's
(22:56):
going on with him. Of course, Pea steals all these
things that he pumplished not going to be in any
of these year and reviews lists. But even any of
the things that they said were bad that happened that
involved Trump still not on the list. The only sort
of tangential connection on some of these to Trump is
Colbert and Kimmel, who, of course they blame Trump for
(23:17):
the fact that late night television is nowhere near as
good as it used to be, nowhere near as watched
as it used to be, and likely to be dying.
I assume that in the next few years, all of
the late night TV people will be out of a
gig because no one watches it there. People either watch
the clips online or watch something else entirely, like the
audience has absolutely shrunk for late night comedy television that
(23:40):
is overly one sided anyway, But I just thought that
was interesting that that most of these lists don't even
mention politics at all, even though at this point it
feels like politics is part of your everyday life. And
then finally, one last one on the list, and I
don't know, Kylin, if you know anything about this one?
K Pop Demon Hunters and the cultural phenomenon that was
that Netflix cartoon apparently is deserving of a list of
(24:04):
the most influential or most important things that happened in
twenty twenty five, the K Pop and the Demon and
the Hunters. Do you have any thoughts on that one?
Speaker 5 (24:13):
One hundred percent? It should be listed.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
It was a global phenomenon.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Okay, did you like it? Did you enjoy the K
Pop Demon Hunters?
Speaker 4 (24:21):
I did. I enjoyed the movie. I thought it was fun.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
And the music it gets stuck in your brain. Did
you ever listen to the song?
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I've I've heard some of the songs and because a
couple of them wound up being like top chart hits
and stuff, so you play them all the time.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Like Golden I think was one of the ones. Oh
here we go. Ah yeah, yeah, it is.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
The Halloween costumes too, It really was.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
It was a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
But the thing that amuses me about the K Pop
Demon Hunters is how many people are going to probably
try to do another version of this in the near
future and try to.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Make that successful.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
And also the way that it was something discovered by
people who don't have kids, because for me, I wound
up being told about it a whole lot of times.
And actually I was so I was doing this thing
on weekends in Houston when I first moved here. I
was helping out at the food bank, and I was
hosting volunteers that showed up at the food bank to volunteer.
(25:20):
They called you a volunteer host and like you brought
people around to their area and taught them how to
do you know, a volunteer shift for There was a
lot of fun. I really liked that gig. I probably
should still be doing it, but I'm not. And anyway,
as I was doing that, we would let people give
music suggestions.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
And all the time.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Every shift, kids would come up and be like, play
this K pop Demon Hunter thing, play this K pop
demon Hunter thing, And I'm like, what is that? Why
are you children all asking for a demon hunter? It
makes no sense to me, But eventually you figure out
what it is because everybody was like loved it. Although
I will say that in a three hour volunteer shift
you could not allow them to keep her quest in
(26:00):
K Pop Demon Hunters because the rest of the group
would be very upset that that music was all we
were playing on repeat.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
It was if you have any thoughts, get go?
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Was the number one pick at the zoo for Zoo Boo?
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Everyone would be playing the Golden or any of the
other K pop demon yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
All the time.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
So did you know about it before people started asking
for it or did you learn about it because of
the gig you had.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
At the time.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
My nieces and my younger sister both were They both
dressed up as the K Pop Demon Hunters.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
They were all about it, so I watched it with them.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Yeah, okay, I get it because like for me, it
really took a while to understand that it wasn't something
that was inappropriate that the kids probably shouldn't be watching,
because when they tell you they want to hear K
pop Demon Hunters party, who is like, I don't know,
I don't know what's occurring here? Did you watch a
scary movie you're not supposed to watch? How did this happen?
One last one on the list of things to remember
from this past year, And I thought it was kind
(26:55):
of hilarious that it made the list too, But Kendrick
Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show actually.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Was thought of as one of the more marking moments
of this year. I think that is the influence of
social media.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
When I look at these lists and some of the
things on it, I think that the TikTok and I
like calling it the TikTok because it makes me sound old,
and all the different versions of people doing the Kendrick
Lamar dance and whatnot after that thing was the thing
that happened in our society made it more impactful than
it actually was, because to me, it wasn't even really
(27:28):
all that good of it. It was an okay halftime show.
It wasn't excellent, it wasn't terrible, it was fine. And
then I moved on to watch the rest of the
football game, but darn it, I'm usually there for the
football and not actually the halftime show. So I just
thought it was interesting that made the list too, But
I think it had a longer shelf life because of
the way social media works.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Now Cold Place Kiss King also made the list, and
I think that's, oh yeah, because of social media.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yes, that entirely because of social media.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
I mean that story was crazy where you know, the
CEO and the HR person are definitely in some kind
of version of an affair, whether it's you know, at
the beginning, so I don't know what it was, and
I don't know what they've even said about it, but
both lose their jobs. A part of the reason that
was probably so viral, and I remember talking about it
on the Matt and Craig Excellent Podcast, which is a
(28:14):
podcast you can check out a part of the WIBC family,
Matt Bear and I talk about all kinds of crazy things.
I think part of it was the fact that the
internet sluice could figure out who they were, you know, like,
I think it only would have had so much shelf
life if they remained a mystery who the people are.
But once you find out who the guy is, what
company he works for, what her job is. It became
(28:35):
so much more of a thing, and I think a
lot of people might have had financial resentment as a
reason that they were motivated to make it such a thing.
But nonetheless, I just thought it was interesting that without
the ability to figure that out, this probably is almost
a nothing story, very quickly hapened.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
All right.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
On that note, I don't know, is there anything else
you wanted to mention, Kylon that you saw on your
lists of big things that happened this year?
Speaker 4 (28:58):
There's plenty of the tiny little ones.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Katy Perry was one that kept popping up online, which
I completely forgot about. There's so many of those that
it's just been such a long year. I'm stuck in
like July.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Sure, yea, I know.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
It is interesting to go through these lists and remember
all the things that did get talked about a lot,
because they did unwind up being bigger topics, at least
for a few days in the world of you know,
what we pay attention to and what we don't pay
attention to. But it is funny when you go back
and see it, how few things actually even involve politics.
Because the last thing I'll say, and this is just
something I've been thinking a lot toward the end of
(29:32):
the year, and as a guy who does political radio
as a living, that you do feel like and I
know that. I think I've mentioned the reason South Park
claims that it's done so much anti Trump stuff is
partially because of what they think politically, of course, but
then also partially because they say that Trump is is
pop culture in today's society, that you know, politics is
(29:54):
so mainstream, people talk about it so much, but then
you go through these lists and you see so little
of it that you're mind how often.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Although I guess there's a political.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Spin to several of these stories, whether it's you know,
the Sydney Sweeney thing, what it might be, it's not
politics directly, but politics indirectly. That feels like it's a
portion of several of this stuff. So maybe that's what
people mean. But I think it's kind of a nice
reminder that there's a lot of stories out there that
have almost no connection to politics that wind up being
(30:24):
a big thing that we talk about a lot. That
seems like a nice demonstration that we are not, as
you know, singularly focused as people might think on some
of these bigger news stories that are out there all
the time. All Right, we'll take a break, we'll come back.
We'll wrap up the show in all kinds of exciting ways.
Craig Collins filling in producer Kylon hanging out on Kendall
and casey ninety three WIBC. This is Kendall and Case
(30:48):
ninety three WIBC. My name is Craig Collins, filling in
producer Kylan hanging out as well. I was actually going
to start this segment by asking if you had New
Year's Eve plans, Kylan, I'm just curious. My wife and
I I have made what I think are pretty unique
plans compared to what we usually do on New Year's Eve.
And the reason we made the unique plans is that
(31:08):
we moved to a new place. So before I tell
you what mine are, do you have anything that you're
planning to do this year for the holiday?
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Normally I spend my time with my friend.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
I spent New Year's Eve with her since high school
and so that's always been a tradition. But my family's
in town this year, so I'll be going back to
my hometown.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Gotcha, And so the friend is getting abandoned.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Yep, having good luck?
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Yeah, is a friend complaining about that at all?
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Have there been texts about how dare you?
Speaker 5 (31:36):
So I'll stop in before I head down and just
say hey for at least Senior's Eve? But no, I
won't be any midnight drop or anything with her.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Okay, I got it.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
So my wife was starting to ask me, like, earlier
this past week. The job she has, she gets time
off around the holiday.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Everybody does.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
The whole company kind of shuts down for like a week,
so everybody has to use vacation to get paid for
that week, but they all do it. It seems like
it's fine. So she's off of work the entirety of
this week and part of last week, and so she
started to ask me, like what we should do for
New Year's Eve? And I actually work a lot in
the holidays. So my decision was, let's do something where
(32:15):
I'm still going to be able to not have to, like,
you know, cancel on anything. But she eventually landed on
We're going to go to Galveston, Texas, which is the
beachy area of.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
The place in which I live.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
There's part of a beach there on the Gulf of
America that you know, we're going to be in a
hotel and we're probably going to go to some sort
of fancy hotel party. We haven't done something that's like
go out fancy for New Year's Eve in years, and
so it's just so odd that my wife was the
one who was inspired to tell me to try this,
and now we're going to do it. And even some
(32:47):
people I work with here in Texas have been asking
me what our plans are, like, Oh, like that is
the party place to go for New Year's Eve. I
don't think we're young enough to do the thing that
we're going to try to do with all the partying
and whatnot.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
That'll take place.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
And I know people on the chat are telling me
that forty is not old at all, and I get it.
I understand that if you're older than forty, it's not
old at all. But I also probably want to be
in bed by like twelve oh one. That's just me,
and it sounds like that might not happen this New
Year's Eve with the plan that we have concocted.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Do you do any of the New Year's superstitions.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
The like you gotta kiss right at midnight thing?
Speaker 5 (33:24):
The kiss at midnight, eating grapes under the table, throwing
salt do or like it's even okaying up the doors.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
I don't know what the opening up the doors one is.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
I know about the grapes because my wife does the grapes,
and then we do have to kiss, she tells me
on New Year's Eve right at midnight, or our year
is doomed, we will be screwed. So that tradition has
lasted every New Year's Eve since we were dating. And
I think I would get like hit with something if
we didn't do that right then. But those are the
only two we do. And I don't know anything about
the salt to the door one. I don't know what
(33:54):
you're talking about with the door.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
I've heard somewhere you have to open up the doors
and windows so you let out anything left over from
the old year to go fresh into the new year.
That's been one, okay, Yeah, eating twelve grapes twelve exactly right.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Yeah, that one I know about.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
And I don't know why that's a thing, but we
have to eat twelve grapes, and so that I don't
think I have to do it anymore. I think I
was forced to do it at some point for a while.
But now just Betty eats the twelve grapes and I
think that still works.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
I'm much more superstitious about sports than New Year's Eve.
I'm pretty sure that I helped the Blackhawks win a
Stanley Cup and the Bulls win a NBA Championship. Well,
in my living room, I'm fairly certain that I deserve
a ring that no one has sent me yet. But
when it comes to Year's Eve, I all bets are off.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Some people.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
Man, they even go down to the underwear, Like what
color underwear means? Whatever you're going to be wanting for
in the new year. So red is romance?
Speaker 4 (34:47):
White?
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Hee yellow as wealth? Hey, if you want to go
down to that level, here's.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Wait, how do you know this? I'm just curious how
you know? Has someone told you this before?
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Is this the thing? Okay?
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Terry Sutton, who I work with, she is all about
the superstitions.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Yep, gotcha.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
So Terry Stacy is very in on. Wait, are those
the only three colors that matter?
Speaker 3 (35:08):
That?
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Are there more?
Speaker 4 (35:09):
No, there's plenty more. There's one for each color. But
those are like the top three that.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
You want romance wealth? Would wealth be green wealth?
Speaker 4 (35:18):
They had a yellow like gold?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Okay, has green mean?
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Then?
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Do you know what green means?
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Let me look at it.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
I want to know.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
I want to know about that is for some other reason.
I'm not really sure. Maybe it's something terrible. Maybe that's
the problem. Maybe anytime the year doesn't go well. I
didn't realize that my underwear played a component in that.
I can't wait to tell my wife this after the
show is over today, Kylon and have her look at
me like I'm an insane person, because that'll happen at
some point. What else does Terry Stacey feel? Are the
(35:48):
you know, superstitions of New Year's Eve that we need
to know about.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
Some food that you're supposed to skip, like not eating
lobs or even though that's a I feel.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
Like your seafood is a big one. On New Day.
Speaker 5 (36:01):
Yeah, there's a couple of those getting cash out of
the ATM, so you start the new year with money,
so then you can, okay, lead into the new year.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
When are we working together again? Are you and I
working together again this holiday season?
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Or no?
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Tony Katz okay, and what day are we working? Tony
kats together.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Is that tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Oh Friday? Okay, I think you got a book, Terry Stacey.
I think if you can get her to be on
the show as a guest. I think that has to
happen now because I have to know about all the superstitions.
Granted that would be after New Year's Eve, so I
would have screwed them up, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
But she can tell me all the things I got wrong?
Speaker 4 (36:32):
Will it to fix it? If you already are right?
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Yeah, tell me the remedy for the New Year's resolution
and thing that I got wrong. But that might happen.
Try to get your friend Terry Stacy on the show
on Friday. That sounds great.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
We're out of here. We're done.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
I will be on the Dana Show tonight and actually
nationally so you can hear me there. And then Kylin
hangs out with Terry Stacy all the time, so you
can hear her there too.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
But talk to you guys later. Have a great new year.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
