It truly was, Danny, and for you too, and Kyl.
This was the hottest week I can ever remember. Yesterday
was truly the hottest day I can remember. It was
so hot, and you know, I started thinking about we
had roofers that were out working on a house next
door to us this past week, roofers, firefighters. Think of
(03:51):
all of those that are out there construction workers.
Speaker 2 (03:53):

Probably a scout camp when we pitched our tents in
the sun and it was July like this, and you
just there was no reprieve. I mean, you just roasted.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
You haven't been as hot as as that particular day, Kaylin.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Two years ago, I was playing in a Soccer League
pickup game before the Indie Elevens Boys in Blue game,
and the turf just made it light up. We were
burning up. We were taking breaks every five minutes because
we were all exhausted, just burning up.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
What the hell are you doing playing?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Sick condition? Stop playing?
Speaker 4 (04:37):
We were trying to be as good as those boys
in Blue. Oh my gosh, there, it's not easy, Terry,
How about you?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
It would be truly sitting at a race in Wisconsin,
in Milwaukee, Milwaukee Mile there's state fairground. So somebody in
front of us had one of those you know, little
temperature gages and held it up and it was one
hundred and one sitting in this metal stands.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
It was brutal, brutal.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Anyway, stay cool, whatever you're doing today, stay hydrated. You
know you know all this stuff, And please watch after
your pets and your friends, your neighbors, your senior citizens
in or the neighborhood. Watch out for everybody, because there's
no relief in sight until next Friday, when it's going
to going to get as high as seventy eight when.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
The fair opens. How about that not bad at all.
We've got a really.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Special guest coming up, Kylon, coming up. Happy Gilmore will
join us, the real Happy Gilmore. We'll talk to us
next on.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
The first day. Thanks for being here at ninety three WIBC.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
My name is Happy Gilmore. Thirty years ago I decided
to give Goff a try. But even when you're at
the top of your game, you can always shank one.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
Happy Gilmore sucks, Homa, how are you going to put
me in at through Bollari school?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
It's getting from one thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
That's four years.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
That's three hundred and thirty three grand.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
That's terrible math, Johnny, it's three hundred grand.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I wuldn't even know where to start.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Let him see the Happy I fell in love with.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Well, I gotta do it, Debt, I'll get if.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
I know how to do it that let's go.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
I feel like it's just going to be what the hell?
Is very similar to the first one?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Sure it is, very sure it is. Nineteen ninety six
is when that first one came out. Happy Gilmore too,
the sequel. It has finally made its way to the
Masses on Netflix. It dropped on Friday. Maybe you've watched
it already, maybe you've planned to. But joining us now
is the real Happy gilmore landon James Gilmore He's the
nineteen year old sensational golfer at ball State University.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
And we're so glad that you're here with us. How
are you happy?
Speaker 6 (06:41):
I'm doing well? High? Are you guys?
Speaker 5 (06:43):
We're good?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Are you back in school yet?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Has? Are you back in on? Are you back yet?
I guess at Ball State?
Speaker 7 (06:50):
No.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
I move into my apartment August first, and then I
have another tournament and then like Steven and all that
fun stuff starts August fifteenth.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Okay, okay, so really you what is it one hundred
and ninety miles an hour?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
You can hit the ball?
Speaker 6 (07:04):
What I've done that one time?
Speaker 5 (07:07):
So one hundred and ninety hour.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
But that's an Indy car just on a pace lap.
I mean, it's just amazing. So everything about speed I
turned to that. I turned to IndyCar. That is amazing.
You did that one time. Have you been playing a
lot of golf this summer?
Speaker 6 (07:27):
I have. I hurt my knee last Friday, so I
haven't played really for a week. But up until that point,
I was playing pretty much every day.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Okay, sure was how you got the nickname? So I
understand that somebody just yelled it out. Can you tell
us the story how you got it? Got happy for
this nickname?
Speaker 7 (07:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (07:44):
So when I was younger, like eight nine years old,
I won a long drive contest at this golf termament
I was playing in and it's on Father's Day weekend,
and so that Sunday for Father's Day, they always had
like a big dinner and then that's when they give
out the awards because they have apparent child event long
drive contests. I think they have a putting contest and
(08:06):
maybe like something else. And during the banquet when they
gave up the awards and they announced me for the
long drive, some random guy to shell that like Happy
go more. And I have no idea who did it
to this day, and yeah, that guy yelling it out
kind of started the nickname around there, and then like
just as time went on, it.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Just grew to what it is now. I think it's precious.
But my dad's nickname was Snuffy and we still don't
know how he got the name. You can imagine being sick.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
He's a plumber.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
He was a plummer plumber.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Well, has anybody as you teed off? What was it
in that movie you suck you Jack? Well, I cannot
sure I can say it. They have they ever said
that when you when you tea off.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
Yeah, I've heard that a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Just laugh it off. It's meant in affection. I'm sure I.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
Thought that was hilarious. Most of the time. It's usually
people that I know, but there's been like one time
whereas a person, I had no idea who it was.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
You've had a lovely spotlight around you, not just because
of the name, but because you are good at golf.
You play for a Division one golf team, but you
have gotten a lot of traction with it, even to
the point where Adam Sandler retweeted your when you committed
to ball State. M Adam Sandler did, He said, go
get him happy pulling for you. Talk about this momentum
(09:26):
that you've gained and the experience that you've had around
your golf journey with this.
Speaker 6 (09:31):
Well, I've made sure that I played better because I
learned that even if I'm played bad, it'll find its
way to Twitter. And then I get messages that I'm
not very good, which is always fun, but.
Speaker 8 (09:42):
It's definitely taken me some cool places because you knows,
like the whole niol and stuff and the name, Like,
I've gotten opportunities to do stuff that probably wouldn't have
been able to do, which.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
I'm very lucky for that. But yeah, I mean I
think I try not to worry about it too much,
can just go play, but it definitely adds some motivation
where it's like, well, if you're going to rock this name,
you kind of need to make sure you're playing well.
So let's go Practic's all harder today.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
So what are you studying in school?
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Just business?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Oh no, no, no, don't say just business, say business
with a smile on your face. Happy business is that
is the key to so much in life, even in golf.
Son this is cool.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah, yeah, this is happy Gilmore and his real name
is Landon land and Gilmore, nineteen year old golfers.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
You've seen him everywhere.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
As he mentioned, he has some great he had some
great endorsement deals that came his way. When did you
first fall in love with golf?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Were you are a little kid?
Speaker 6 (10:39):
Yeah, so I got my first set of like real
metal clubs on my first birthday. Oh my I man,
I would yeah, and then I would just go out
and play with my dad. And so since I can walk,
I've kind of just never fell out of the love
of the game.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah, that's cool, but you don't necessarily want to make
that a career.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
It sounds like.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
No I do.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
That was with a smile. That one was quite happy.
Could you tell us about you're also using it to
go along with a happy Gilmore trend that's going around
with True Green. I have no surface level about this.
Can you tell us about True Green and what they're
doing to benefit.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Yeah, so True Green is a grass and like Long
cair and Company, and they do a lot of stuff
with the PGA Tour and then they do a lot
of stuff with the First t program, and so we
kind of partnered to start the Happy Sling Challenge, which
is essential. It's kind of like the Cold Bucket challenge
(11:46):
where you dump water in your friend's head. They kind
of circled a while ago, so it's like that, but
you do the Happy Sling. Because of the movie, we
kind of thought it'd be like kind of you know,
just cool timing wise, and so any person that would
do the Happy sling in and you hashtag true Green
Happy Drive. True Green would donate a dollar and before
(12:07):
the challenge even started, they donated two hundred and fifty
thousand to the first team.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Oh my god, that's really cool thing.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
Yeah, so everything that happened with that, any money that
was raised when straight to the first tea program.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Wow, I love that. I really do.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
You really have found a way to be to connect
also by giving back for the good fortune that you've had.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I really love that. Again, Happy Gilmore is with us.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
We wanted to talk to him because the sequel Happy
Gilmore Too, just dropped on.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Is that what we say, Kylon? Is that the right words? Yeah? Sure,
you're done with the thank you? Yep, just drop.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
It just dropped on Netflix Flicks on.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Friday, And there is if you don't know, there really
is a Happy Gilmore that plays golf nineteen years young
at ball State and been doing it obviously since he
was one.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
And he's got this in incredible.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
You've got a lot of attention because of that one
and ninety mile an hour.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Land, you have ninety you have nineteen popsicle seasons going here.
What keeps your humble son, what keeps you humbled?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Season meant?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
But no, yeah, I think he knew what it meant.
I mean, here you are, You've got all of this
notoriety coming at you. What do you do to stay humble? Buddy?
Speaker 6 (13:25):
I think that just comes back to the way I
was raised a little bit. I I go practice, I
do all my stuff, and then I try to just
let my game. I guess talk in a sense, but
also too. When you have some of the friends I do,
they'll try and humble you the best they can. Oh yeah,
talk here and there and all that. But I think
(13:46):
it just comes back to the way I was raised.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Really, you're a little bit like I think I've read
an article before where you are?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
You are, but it's just who you are.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
You there are similarities, similarities between you and Happy Gilmour
Adam Sandler, Right, I mean there, you've gotta you've gotta
your fun. There's a lot to you that is just
like him, and you don't you don't feel like you
need to change that because you're not trying to emulate him.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
That's just who you are. Is that kind of right?
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Yeah? Yeah, we're both kind of just the not average
golfers and don't really quite care. We kind of do
what we want and whatever people think of us is
how they think about.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
It, right, right, I've liked that on the golf course.
I've actually played in snow boots before. I've actually been
taken off of golf carts golf courses before because of
me not following rules. I wore jeans one time on
a golf course.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I didn't like that. I didn't know. I'm not a golfer.
But you get invited to golf happy.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
We get invited to golf tournaments often and asked to
play in foursome coming up and uh, and so you
know if you invite me, you're gonna get what I am,
and that is I'm a snowboot wearing a gene person.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
So happy. Have you ever met Adam Sandler?
Speaker 6 (14:59):
I've never met him.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
No, have you talked to him?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
No?
Speaker 6 (15:02):
The only real interaction with hat just when he reposted
my twitter or my tweet.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Would you ever want to Is that something that you
are interested in or is it more of just you'd
rather meet an actual golfer.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
I think everyone wants to meet Adam Stamler for being honest, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Think it'd be fun Betty's really I hope he is.
I mean, there's an expectation there. You want him to
be kind of you know, just what we see on screen.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
He's a down to earth person and so are you.
And I'm thankful for it that you're right here in
our state.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
So do college athletes? Do they have managers or do
they have agents? Have you been contacted for agency?
Speaker 6 (15:40):
I have been contacted by him, but it would be
kind of pointless, and I would I don't want to
say a waste of money, but it would essentially just
be a waste of money for me to pay for
a manager because right now I can do pretty much
everything myself with a few of the friends that I
have that kind of do some stuff to that already.
(16:01):
I do know that, like you know, you're bigger, like big,
big time basketball and beigcome football players, they'll have them.
But I mean, for me personally, just kind of be pointless.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Be yourself. Son. You've got it, You've got you've got it,
got it down. Good for you.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Have you seen the new Happy Gilmore movie? I have,
and so give it a rating how many stars?
Speaker 6 (16:28):
So I watched it with two of my roommates and
we gave it about like a seven seven and a half.
We thought most of the movie was really good. We
just thought that they could have ended it maybe a
little bit better.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Oh okay, well you got to wait to the endign
to see what happens. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Hey, Uh, Happy Gilmore, thank you, thank you for talking

Speaker 5 (17:23):

in the future. He had one with Arby's with the
Birdies in Beef Collection. So many fun things happening for
happy and we're happy that he stopped by.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Absolutely all right.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Coming up, we've got an Indie native that truly emerges
from tragedy to become a nationally celebrated restaurant tour and
she just won an award. In fact, the documentary about
this individual just won an award with Indi Shorts. So
you'll hear that conversation Kylin and I had with chef
Lisa Dahl, who.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Went to North Central.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
If you're thinking that name sound familiar, familiar, we'll do
that after the news right here on ninety three WIBC
Terry Stacy, Denny Smith, Kylon Tally Race Day in Indy.
But there are the things going on too, like Indy Shorts.
Lisa Dahl, you know that name. She was raised here
in Indy, went to North Central High School, had a son,
(18:20):
left Indy and then found great success in the restaurant
business after his tragic death. And her story is being
told in a documentary that actually does a debut today
or has it been.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Out there, Kylin, It technically.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Debuts, well, she's been in other festivals, but it debuts
in Indie today with the Indiana Spotlight one block that
you can watch today in person.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Indi Shorts Film Festival. Kylin and I had a chance
to meet chefd All. We loved her, fell in love
with her immediately. When she arrived back home in Indiana
on Thursday, Terry, I'm.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
So excited to be here. I'm so ungering out of
my skin.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
Oh, the Indianapolis Circle, the film Festival.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
I'm so myself with excitement.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Welcome home.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I mean, I know you've been out there a long time,
but welcome home.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
It's like it's like almost feels like a rebirth.
Speaker 7 (19:09):
I feel like I'm just I can't even explain the
excitement I have, just the anticipation of coming here and
seeing all the changes that I hear about, but the
evolution I hear so much through my friends, my family,
and when my brother Jays he comes back often and
(19:32):
he tells me about all the great new places, and
I can hardly wait to see everything. I lived in
Carmel for a number of years before I moved down
to Southern Indiana, and it was just starting to blossom.
But now everyone tells me I won't even know Carmel
when I see it, so yes, but I hear they're beautiful.
(19:54):
I've seen photos, of course. I mean it's naturally recognized
in a way because of the of the way that
they did the roundabouts. But you know, I had a
record store in Carmel when I was very young.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
I did.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
I had a record store called Blue River and it
was on Main Street, and everyone said, you will never
be able to figure out where that place was for
the life of you.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
I lived in my record store when I.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
Was a young mom and I justin We lived in
the back of the record store for a very short
period of time, but we were in love with records
and music and still are.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
And it was so fun. It was such a cool
record store.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Also, you know, Kylin, did you have a question.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
I'm sorry, I'm curious about the inspiration that Indiana had
on now your culinary journey.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
I love that question, Kylie, because you know, I say,
I'm from the Heartland, and Indiana is the Heartland, and
that's kind of a tie in with the Heartland Film Festival.
But quite honestly, I talk about that lot because growing
up in Indianapolis, the quality of the food I was
(21:06):
fortunate to have in my youth was what I am
preparing now in my Latin steakhouse. We grew up having
on special occasions great steak, of course, the best of potatoes,
the best of tomatoes, and the best of corn, and
so barbecuing. I've been, as you know, I've been on
Bobby Flay. I've got a burger joint. That is that
(21:29):
we grow on wood. It was always about keeping the
food simple, at the highest level of quality.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I want you to know that I learned something off air,
and that is that you didn't learn to cook from
your mom necessarily, not really. Mom was in a whole
other world, right as far as she was a good cook.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
Mom was a good cook, rest her peace, I mean.
And she also would bust me all the time about
if my lasagna wasn't as good as hers or something.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
She was a good cook. But she's a career woman
and an entrepreneur.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
And I have to just say, though, we all look
up to women entrepreneurs, of course, and when I think
of my mother being an entrepreneur, starting at like the
age of eighteen, she had her first clothing stores and
they were famous. And there's a whole we could do
a whole segment about this because.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
I grew up with my mother is Dorothy, You guys.
Speaker 7 (22:25):
Dorothy Dorothy, and so I will remember that, yes, and
and the stick that we did on the radio back
in the day. My dad wrote these incredibly ingenious commercials
that really kind of put us on the map that
were based around him being a handpecked husband.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
My wife is Dorothy, I ought not.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
And Chris Connors was one of my dad's best buds,
and Chris Connors, who I adored. We'd get into this
studio but on our headphones. Sometimes I would get to
come with a girlfriend and Dad would write all the
copy of the They could be thirty second or sixty
I think there are sixty seconds back in those days,
(23:07):
and we would end them with well, I should know
because my mother is Dorothy.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I remember, We're going to find that spot for all
of you to hear.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
But there's something about Indiana and Indianapolis. You never never
leaves your soul so once it might sound corny now,
but once a hoosier, always a hooshier. That kind of
brings tears to my eyes because even though I've not
lived here for so long, it's the soul of the people.
(23:36):
When you're in Indianapolis and in the state, there's a
warmth in people and that is what I think is
actually in many ways transpired to my success in my
business Incidona, which is it's about hospitality, and it's hospitality,
hooshier hospitality. You can't really take that out of someone,
(23:59):
and I think think it's ingrained in you and that
is what makes you, know, makes people want to come
back more and more.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
This is sheef Lie Sadal and there is a brand
new documentary that you're going to be able to see
during the Indie Shorts Film Festival this week. The film
is called Blessed by Grace. She opened her first restaurant,
doll And de Luca in nineteen ninety five. You found
your way to Sedona, and I know this is part
of the story and you will see this, but you
landed in Sodona because of true heartbreak son Justin, who
(24:32):
was doing something very heroic when he lost his life, Yes,
at just twenty four years old.
Speaker 7 (24:38):
I think that people will be really engaged in the
film and they will know more about those details through
the film. I could never want to say that it's
a silver lining. It may be even hard to hear
myself say that, but through my son giving his life
(24:59):
through engaging in a street robbery, he has enabled me,
through his love and his brilliance, to come through and
touch the lives of so many people through the most
unfathomable tragedy than any parent.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Will ever face.
Speaker 7 (25:19):
And it's what keeps me going is knowing that my
mission is to make him proud. In everything I do,
I dedicate everything to him.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
He comes through me, and.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
I really believe that we're like we're like a pilot
and a co pilot.
Speaker 6 (25:35):
You know.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
I might get an idea, even of a new soup. No,
it sounds crazy, but sometimes Justin is telling me didn't.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
Make that soup.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
As a matter of fact, in one of my cookbooks,
you'll see a soup I say a name as Soapadi
Justino because it recreates a memory of a restaurant that
we used to love to go to to try to
figure out how they made this incredible Mexican chicken soup
that was indescribable. And we would go there together when
we lived in Marin County and we would have to
(26:06):
get the soup because we'd have to figure out how
are they getting that flavor and I of course named
it after Justin, but it's the memories, cellular memories from
our childhood and from our youth that I think stay
with us when we become chefs, that we want.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
To recreate that joy for others.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
That is it's a lifetime mission almost for me now
thirty years as a restaurant tour and as a self
taught chef, just trying to recreate memories for people in
honor my son.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
One of the things that you talk through is strength,
and that's something that you've needed to have throughout your
whole journey, and that's something you mentioned in your cookbook.
You talk about how Justin always said, may the Force
be with you.
Speaker 7 (26:51):
I actually named the publishing company that we have we're
self published as Forza, and that means strength and courage
in Italian. In Arizona, with a large Hispanic group of employees,
it's fuerte. Those words really speak to me. The strength.
(27:12):
I can't say that I know how to make strains
feel like I've been given a gift through Justin, through
my higher power of She's seen to be strong under
adversity but also be vulnerable at the same time.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Chef Lisa Dahl and I should mention two time featured
chef at the James Beard House, twice recognized by the
Arizona Restaurant Association as top Chef and Food Pioneer, and
honored with the Best Chefs of America Hall of Fame.
In twenty nineteen, appeared on Food Paradise as we mentioned earlier,
and beat Bobby Flay. We have these two fantastic cookbooks,
The Elixir of Life and The Roman A Romance with Food.
(27:54):
She has one, two, three, four, five.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
How many restaurants? Six?
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Six restaurants? Do you think you'll ever come to Indianapolis
or Indiana.
Speaker 7 (28:01):
I have a scheme, and if it's meant to be,
it'll be. But I have a concept that I think
would be great here. I think any of our restaurants
would be fabulous in this town that it is booming,
and it has so many great new restaurants that I'm
dying to try. But I also think that it's reinventing
itself as we speak, in a way that who knows,
(28:23):
maybe there could be a restaurant in the future. People
think I'm crazy enough with six and I think I've
lost my mind.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
But what the hell bring it up?
Speaker 7 (28:31):
Maybe loved my childhood here and love being back right now.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Well, you know what, our palettes have gotten better since
she laughed, And now we're willing to try all kinds.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
Of food, not just the poor tenderloin.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
That's not just a port tender loin or a macropowl
of mac and cheese. Welcome back, and we're glad to
meet you.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Thank you so much. She just made my week. I
love this.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
It's just I am moving back.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Damn it.
Speaker 3 (28:59):

is being seen today. She is here in town and
will be on the red carpet, I believe. And Kylin

Speaker 1 (29:09):

Speaker 4 (29:10):
She was the Hohodocs Indiana Spotlight Award winner. That is
one of the spotlights for the Indiana films. I think
that's a wonderful award. It is a great film, Terry.
You've watched it too. It's worth the watch. Watch it
Indiana Spotlight one block.

Or are we just digging deeper? What do they say

We're gonna talk about this.
Speaker 5 (29:44):

Speaker 1 (30:27):

Speaker 2 (30:33):
That's what I'm talking about. Is that the standard that's better?
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Well, Y did this for you?
Speaker 5 (30:41):
Denny, you better have.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Something when you hear me talking about this, said, thirty
four trillion dollar questions coming at you. You're ready, lady, how.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Friend we could handle?
Speaker 2 (30:54):
So I read an article this week by somebody it's
not related to me. But he's a really good guy.
He's Charles. He's an economist, and he's a writer, and
he's just a smithy. He's a smith. There you go.
But he asked the question, can we really get out
of this debt and stagflation thing with any hope of
growth in any of the economies. And it's not just
(31:14):
the United States, you know, it's Japan and most of Europe.
There the politicians are really giving us a bad cup
of soup here. So there were he listed eight things,
and I'm going to go through them just so you
can see how economists look at things, real economists, not
these dime store bozos that are in Washington, d c.
And all the think tanks. First, the demographics don't lie
(31:35):
my generation, the baby boomers, Terry, I think you were
the end of the baby boomers.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
That about right, yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
First of all, retirees are booming, but birth rates not
so much. So there's nobody to replace us. You know,
it's like a pig and a python. After World War Two,
everybody came home started making babies. Well, now the next
generations aren't making babies. So this idea of fewer workers
and more benefits. That's a lot of hogwash. And Kylin's
generations and the ones around.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Under that pig hog together is very good.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Let me going to the second thing.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
I want to hear about it.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
You're going to have to pay for us. It'snot nose
baby boomers, and that's that's the problem. But let's talk
about the systems we rely on. They're all old. Most
of the systems and the air traffic control system that
was developed when Elvis was alive. Okay, think about how
long ago that was, and.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
I feel like it was long ago at all.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Well, the only clouds back then in government doesn't think
that way. The only clouds were in the sky. Well,
now we've got a different thing, and our systems are old.
And to think that we can, you know, through progression
or through efficiency, get out of this, I don't get it.
And then the spending shifts with age my generation. What
are we worried about. We're worried about four o'clock dinners
(32:48):
and we're worried about getting up in the morning. I mean,
we're not worried about iPhones or concert tickets or anything
like that. So we're not spending money like we used to.
Here's The fourth thing, Our big fix you're ready for
it has always been And Kylin, don't you ever dare
do this? Our big fix is always borrowing the government.
If they want to do something, they borrow money.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
Why not get in more debt?
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Yeah, and you know what, it doesn't matter whether you're
Joe Biden, whether you're Obama, or whether you're Donald J. Trump.
Everybody adds more money to it. And that's nonsense.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
And so Denny, when we look back in history, when
did we not have debt?
Speaker 2 (33:23):
We did not have debt in the eighteen hundreds and
in the early nineteen hundreds. Ever since we've had the
Federal Reserve. That's when all nineteen thirteen is the answer.
After nineteen thirteen, we've had all this debt. Well, here's
the bureaucratic speaking of the Federal Reserve. They got six
thousand PhDs. Now, give me a frickin' break. What do
we need six thousand bean counters at the federal Reserve.
(33:46):
Who can't even you know, look at America the way
it is right now and say, by god, we need
to lower interest rates. This is crazy. Who these knucklehead
bureaucrats are? Am I getting fired up here?
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Yes you are, but you should I think people should be.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Well, wait, do you hear this one?
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Six?
Speaker 2 (34:00):
The debt snowball is really starting to take off. And
a debt snowball is when we borrow more and more
and more. Of course, then the interest rates go up.
You have to pay more and more. We're paying over
a you ready for this, We're paying a trillion dollars
plus I think it's one point three trillion dollars a
year in interest. This is just noth and so.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
What so I thought I thought we were I thought
we were great again.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Well we're doing okay, we're doing good with what we've got.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
I mean, I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
It's like, well, you're trying to make Mignon Adam blogey.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
I care about four o'clock dinner.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
The solutions we keep hearing about now, and we talked
about it last week's stable coins, digital magic beans. What
a bunch of happy hogwash.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Sorry you more for our own personal we'll talk about
that for us. Don't get a credit card if you're
already in exactly, get on the snow So.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
This Charles Hugh Smith, he says, is pulling the levers
of financial engineering enough to grow our way out of
stagflation than debt. No, it's not possible. Better technology will help,
but we've got to change some things. The good economic
fantasy that growth will come galloping in on a white horse.
Yeah right, you were headed toward penury. Do you know what?
This is your word for the day, penury?
Speaker 1 (35:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Oh, you're going to pe n you are? Y? Okay, okay,
you want to know what it is I do. Extreme
poverty or destitution usually comes after maxing out your national
credit card and skipping out on the bill. And hope
is not a fiscal strategy. And I've about had it
with these politicians. I'm glad those at I'm glad those
(35:30):
fellows are no longer in Congress during August. Yeah, good riddens. Boys,
what have you done for it? And girls? What have
you done for us? So that's your economic reality check
for the week. Just don't try to pay for it
with a crypto card or government.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
I OW use some Sunday positivity from Denny Smith.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Here's here. Here's what he said, aging population, massive debt,
rising interest rates. It's the cautionary tale wrapped in a
sushi roll.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Okay, I like sushi I like sushi too, but it's
expency Denny's.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Gonna go and have maybe maybe a nice You need
some iic to drink.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Something ice cream would work, Maybe a.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Bloody Mary or a popsicle.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
You said it's a popsicle season, and we'll be You
heard it here first.

Today's thank you Daddy.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
