Bernie was there.

Speaker 10 (02:23):

What all of you were there? I feel like I
didn't get an invite to the party.

Speaker 10 (02:28):
George's he right now too? Hey, George, we figured you
were there by somewhere else in the stadium.

Speaker 8 (02:33):
You were down at the other stadium waiting for the
next game.

Speaker 9 (02:35):
I was exactly. I was at the soccer stadium.

Speaker 8 (02:37):
And there's a story regarding that game too. Yes, the
Carolina Ascent did they win this week?

Speaker 9 (02:43):
It was a scoreless draw.

Speaker 10 (02:45):
Oh oh, it's exciting.

Speaker 9 (02:46):
Yeah, yeah, a scoreless draw.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Back to twenty three to twenty Panthers.

Speaker 8 (02:52):
Zoe, you've been part of the Carolina Panthers radio network
team since day one. Where does this game yesterday rank
for you?

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (03:01):
I would have been like in the top thirty one
years of games. But it was It's just been so long, right,
it's been eight years since we've been in a playoff
year alone a playoff hunt, and nothing is guaranteed as
far as the postseason with this one, but they had
to have this one. I think that any kind of
legitimate shot. So just from an importance standpoint, it's been
a long time. I put it that way, eight years
And it was fun to see. It was full too yesterday,

(03:24):
mostly with Panther fans. Always gonna have some of the
other team there, but I mean it was a Panther crowd.
They had the throwback end zones from the old logo
and all that stuff, and it just felt kind of
we said it a couple times during the broadcast yesterday,
it just kind of felt like the good old days,
days of yours.

Speaker 9 (03:40):
I said it.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
I said it.

Speaker 9 (03:41):
Jalo filed for divorce, Ohio State won the conference and
we started against the Jaguars.

Speaker 8 (03:46):
On the conference And can I thank you for waking
up to something like this?

Speaker 11 (03:49):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (03:50):
Yes, they wasn't, no.

Speaker 8 (03:53):
Sarah Barrales today.

Speaker 10 (03:55):
No, all right? Is that what you hadna?

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:00):
I didn't know.

Speaker 10 (04:00):
Bow intervened, No, no he did. I was working in
your head, so I missed my sports cast. You work
too far ahead where you forget to do the thing
you're supposed to do in the moment, Like when you
go to work, you don't put shoes on.

Speaker 12 (04:09):
Things like that.

Speaker 9 (04:10):
Well, I have forgot to do the thing you're supposed
to do first. I have definitely done that. I have
come to work without shoes.

Speaker 8 (04:16):
There was that time where she was riding down seventy
seven and realized that her feet were bare.

Speaker 9 (04:21):
Yeah. Actually, I guess I've done it twice because I
had to get tennis shoes out of my trunk that day.
And then I also came to work in bedroom shoes
one day, only because I had worked late, late, late
the night before and had only slept like for seven minutes,
and my brain just couldn't remember that shoes were part
of my clothing.

Speaker 10 (04:39):
Do you keep golf shoes in your car like I
do that? Well, you always have a fatter pair of shoes.

Speaker 9 (04:42):
If I came in here in cleats, just war my
kleats right in here.

Speaker 8 (04:46):
There was a guy who worked here who wore I
don't care if it was twenty degrees outside. He would
always wear shorts, and he would always wear it wasn't
always flip flops. But you remember Tiva's the kind that.

Speaker 9 (04:58):
Didn't I did the shower shoes.

Speaker 8 (05:00):
Well, no, these are the ones that, like with the velcrow,
they'd have like three straps and they would they would
stay on your feet no matter what happened, like.

Speaker 9 (05:06):
The outdoor walking. Yes, yes, so if you're going to
hike through a creek, he would.

Speaker 8 (05:11):
Always be wearing those. I mean snowstorm outside and he
would always be wearing them. So you know, I mean
it's not quite bare feet, but it is less than
no socks.

Speaker 9 (05:18):
We have nice toes because sometimes you don't want to
see the people and.

Speaker 10 (05:21):
See I never never, never focused my eyes on.

Speaker 9 (05:25):
You, never noticed his toes.

Speaker 10 (05:26):
I don't want to look at this.

Speaker 8 (05:27):
I don't want to look at a guy's toes.

Speaker 10 (05:28):
Don't you hate knees and toes had shoulders, some.

Speaker 9 (05:34):
Of them can freak me out.

Speaker 8 (05:36):
Well, I'm afraid I might get freaked out, So I don't.
I purposely don't look at the people's feet.

Speaker 10 (05:40):
No, No, just not into that. I have eyes that's
right up here, eyes up here.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Feet.

One? Two, three?

Speaker 2 (08:09):
There you go?

Speaker 9 (08:10):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (08:11):
That was that?

Speaker 14 (08:12):
Was?

Speaker 9 (08:12):
That was that?

Speaker 10 (08:13):
Since they painted the field boom or takeover.

Speaker 8 (08:16):
Over, they still play a version of that when they
when they have a touchdown, but you don't get to
hear the old school original, very oft man.

Speaker 10 (08:24):
Here you go, boom.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Thank you Panthers for painting the field yesterday. It was
good to see.

Speaker 15 (08:28):
Good morning, hey Nancy.

Speaker 9 (08:30):
Enjoy your show.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Thank you love the show.

Speaker 16 (08:33):
Long time list, they're over a decade.

Speaker 13 (08:35):
Consider you guys part of family.

Speaker 9 (08:37):
Oh, he says, your bag hid.

Speaker 10 (08:40):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
This is good morning, beauty, reaching.

Speaker 8 (08:45):
Out, touching me, touching.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Good times.

Speaker 8 (09:03):
So if the Panthers finished ten and seven, they're in
the playoffs. If they finished nine and eight, beat they
sweep the Bucks and they're in. If they split with
the Bucks and the Bucks beat the Dolphins, then they're out.
If they split with the Bucks and they beat the
Seahawks and the Bucks lose to the Dolphins, then they're in.
And then there's of course the Panthers finish eight eight

(09:25):
and one or nine to seven in one.

Speaker 10 (09:27):
But I'm not going to complicate things right now.

Speaker 9 (09:29):
I feel like I just heard someone's combination for their locker.

Speaker 8 (09:32):
I just saw Jim's Jim's eyes roll.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
That's where I stopped the sinacoid to ties when talking.

Speaker 10 (09:37):
About tie breakers. So there's usually what in the entire league,
the entire season. There, we've already had one.

Speaker 8 (09:42):
I mean, wouldn't it be just ironic if the tie
was these two teams at.

Speaker 10 (09:46):
The very end. But it comes down to the paper
scissors rock and they stand at the fifty yard line.
That's exactly right, trebid who wins the conference?

Speaker 8 (09:53):
So here's Dave. Here's Dave Canalis on the crowd, the game, everything.
Yesterday it was electric.

Speaker 17 (10:00):
Bank of America Stadium was a special place today, towels,
black towels, waving all black uniforms, the whole thing. It
felt right, It felt exactly right. It was an advantage.
There were some false starts, there were some issues with communication.
You could see where they were having trouble getting the
calls in and getting lined up. That's that's our fan
base that's showing up for all of us. It does,
It really does take all of us. And those are

(10:21):
the little advantages and edges that you need. And I'm
so fortunate to be able to be here to fill
that type of energy in the building and then we
make big plays they let you hear it, you know,
and the guy's feed off of that. So it was
an amazing electric fill today in the stadium.

Speaker 8 (10:34):
Bryce Young gets a big win, another signature win for
his career. The interception there, Lathan Ransom. I mean, you
talk about a guy who goes from one extreme last
week to this week. I mean, this is what.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Look.

Speaker 10 (10:47):
I don't want to get too ahead of ourselves. I mean, dook, you've.

Speaker 8 (10:50):
Seen this team go all the way to the super Bowl.
We're not sitting here saying super Bowl today. We're saying though,
I am Beth is saying super Bowl. George, are you
saying super Bowl?

Speaker 10 (10:58):
No?

Speaker 8 (10:59):
No, yes, But if a variety of opinions of the room.
It feels good to to be in games that matter
in December. I've been saying that for a couple of
months now, and uh and in each week we get
further into December and the games keep mattering. And now
now you got to play Seattle, which is uh uh,
you know, on a tear right now with with Sam

(11:21):
Darnold who used to be here, and the Bucks now
play Miami next week, So you know, it's going to
be a very interesting Sunday and it could set up
a final final Sunday in Tampa where the Panthers, you know,
and the Bucks play for it all. But hopefully the
Panthers take care of business and the Bucks help that
and you don't have to get to that point.

Speaker 12 (11:40):
You need Steve's boys to do us a solid next
weekend with Steve. Actually Steve's listening to he was really
happy about the Neil Diamond.

Speaker 16 (11:47):
Was he?

Speaker 10 (11:48):
That's right, you played, you played Neil Diamond without Steve
in the room. So the Panthers, I mean, they're guaranteed
that the season, as far as postseeds and hopes, goes
to the last game, no matter what happens next week
with the two games with the Bucks game against Miami
and the Panthers against Seattle, no matter what happens there,
we're guaranteed of going to the last game of the
regular season having a chance at the playoffs. And as

(12:10):
you said, there's a scenario where they could have a
clinch before you go there. But I have a feeling
it's gonna go down to that last game and the
Panthers are gonna have to win at Tampa Bay because
Tampa Bay's got everything to play for. Miami's already put
in their rookie quarterback, Benching Tua. So I think, you know,
things happen in this league. And the Bucks have lost
six out of seven, so they're fully capable of of
tripping up again. So it could happen that way. But

(12:32):
the most likely scenario is we go to Tampa Bay
and they must win winner take all for the division,
not for the conference, and not for the super Bowl.

Speaker 8 (12:41):
But if Miami beats Tampa next week and we beat Seattle,
then we clinch.

Speaker 10 (12:46):
Right, that's the scenario.

Speaker 8 (12:47):
So can you imagine can you imagine going to Tampa
Bay and resting our starters in that scenario. Look, I
think you're right. I think it's gonna be. It's gonna
go down to the final week, and it's gonna be.
The stakes are going to be all there right there
in Tampa. But but if the Panthers take care of business,
and the Panthers have a much tougher task next week

(13:07):
than Tampa does on paper, So.

Speaker 10 (13:10):
Yeah, Seattle still even though Seattle's won what twelve games,
they're still fighting the Rams for the division. Championship coming
in with Sam Darnold's another former Panther quarterback this week.
That's a really good Seattle team. But again, the Panthers
have beaten Green Bay at Green Bay. I mean they've
had you know, wins against the Rams, so they have
played against some really good teams and beaten them. So
they're they're fully capable of beating Seattle this week. But

(13:31):
they have both scenarios happen. I feel like the most
likely scenario is, which would be fun going down to
Tampa for that last game, which would be a true
playoff game.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Early.

Speaker 9 (13:38):
I love that all of this matters. I love that
it's dramatic.

Speaker 8 (13:43):
And if you win the division, do you get a
home playoff game?

Speaker 12 (13:47):
Yep.

Speaker 8 (13:47):
So if they win this, no matter what, whether the
team that we're playing has a worse record, if you're
a division winner, then you get a home playoff game.

Speaker 9 (13:55):
So and how great is that?

Speaker 8 (13:57):
I mean, that's that's what you dream for in January.
So hopefully, hopefully this all plays out the way we
want it to. This is Lathan Ransom yesterday, the Goat
the week before in a bad way, the goat in
a good way yesterday.

Speaker 10 (14:10):
I got uh they ran.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
I think it was waved.

Speaker 8 (14:13):
I was massed up on Mike and you know, Sean
gave him bump them real good and got a good
opportunity to read the quarter.

Speaker 12 (14:17):
I'd make a play.

Speaker 8 (14:18):
You know, God talks about how he's gonna put you
through a lot of child and tribulations and you know
at the end you're gonna come out better. And uh,
you know this is a great example of that.

Speaker 10 (14:24):
And you know, I can't wait to.

Speaker 18 (14:25):
Get to the next week, to get down there and.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
There everybody's done to get down.

Speaker 10 (14:29):
So yeah, I was just excited and I got down.

Speaker 8 (14:32):
Stay down, stay down, don't move, don't bumble it. Oh
and and then there's the Carolina Ascent. Yes, that was
on Saturday.

Speaker 10 (14:39):
Now there's more about your scoreless tie.

Speaker 9 (14:41):
We had a scoreless draw. It was still it was
a great game. We were up against DC Power. We're
third in the conference right now. But my usually for
the last season, I've done a season and a half
now as their PA announcer, I have a spotter in
there to kind of help me with the scoreboard and
help me with the games. Spoder didn't come. He had

(15:05):
some car trouble.

Speaker 10 (15:06):
And I had the same thing. My first sportscast had
car trouble getting here.

Speaker 8 (15:10):
Has anyone has the whole team ever shown up at
any game? Because like, we were missing a national anthem singer.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
A few times, and now you who is doing the staffing.

Speaker 8 (15:19):
What would happened if you didn't thumb?

Speaker 9 (15:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (15:23):
You guys need like a count tumps or something like.
That's okay, Bob's here to do this.

Speaker 9 (15:27):
So I called the game. I called the game completely alone,
and I have learned the game. I was very excited
about it, just through the process of of of doing
this for the last year and a half. I did
you sing the anthem? Also, no our in stadium reporter
sang the anthem on on Saturday.

Speaker 8 (15:47):
Can you imagine being a Carolina Ascent employee knowing that
when you get to the stadium on any given Saturday
or Sunday, you may have your job switched, right?

Speaker 9 (15:56):
You just might be I have been a PA announcer
slash national anthem singer.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
You're the midfielder today, Yeah, that's gonna walk in one day.

Speaker 8 (16:05):
And you're the goalie.

Speaker 9 (16:06):
Yeah, I'm gonna be in goal number this whatever. Stay
ready so you don't have to get ready, right, Well,
I have a jersey so I could just I could
just run out on the field wearing number eleven ten.

Speaker 8 (16:18):
Now, if you're new to the show, the Carolina cent
a year ago gave Beth her own jersey, So I
mean that thing looked like it was.

Speaker 9 (16:27):
It was an official kit jersey. I came on the
back of it and my number was eleven ten, which
now they've told me they're going to have to give
me a new jersey with the number one oh seven
nine on it, which I'm not mad at. I would. Plus,
we have new kits this year, so my my jersey
now is already outdated.

Speaker 10 (16:42):
It's always new merch. That the thing always need merch.

Speaker 9 (16:45):
They did give me a scarf on on Saturday that
I that I wore during the during the match, but
called the game myself.

Speaker 8 (16:51):
Guys one O seven point nine.

Speaker 10 (16:53):
That's the City Connect uniform, right.

Speaker 9 (16:57):
I feel like I feel like I need to call
the Charlotte like I'm available.

Speaker 12 (17:01):
Guys.

Speaker 9 (17:02):
I know the game.

Speaker 10 (17:02):
You're like, I say this all the time, you're the
Swiss Army Knight.

Speaker 9 (17:06):
But I learned the game. I was calling fowls.

Speaker 8 (17:10):
I'm telling you, like, next time the guy who usually
doesn't gonna walk up and you're like, oh, I got
it this time.

Speaker 9 (17:14):
Oh and our corner Kicks, by the way, or sponsored
by New Corps and thanks to Sarah Tricoli, one of
our players, I now say it's a new corner kick.
I got a giggle from the stadium for that one.
On Saturday.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Oh Man, good morning, Bowing Bath.

Speaker 16 (17:31):
Hi, it's a conversation this morning.

Speaker 10 (17:33):
I had to call it.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
This is Good Morning Beat with Bow and.

Speaker 8 (17:37):
Beth six thirty seven on one. I was seven point
nine WBT Monday, December twenty second. Mick mulvaney, former White
House Chief of Staff, South Carolina congressman. He was budget
director at the White House. You see him on News Nation.
He is on our show every week Monday from nine

(17:59):
to ten and sometimes in studio today going to be
in studio. It's been a while. I get a lot
to talk about.

Speaker 9 (18:04):
With him, I know. And it is kind of one
of those days where so many news headlines dropped really
over the weekend that we hopefully can catch you up
with not only those headlines, but with his perspective on
what's going on, you know, everything from Venezuela to the
speech that the President Trump made here in North Carolina
on Friday.

Speaker 8 (18:24):
And if you're new to the show again, why do
we have Mick mlvaney on the show. Well, the unique
opportunity that we have is access to a guy who
spent the better part of a year five feet away
from the President. He was the second to last chief
of staff in the first term for President Trump. Mark
Meadows also from this area, from North Carolina. Mick is

(18:45):
from South Carolina. Those are the two last people in
the first administration. So Mick comes on with us each
week and a lot of times we have the ability
to ask him things. And you know, any political pundit
can ask a question, what do you think was going
on here? Well, only a few people have actually been
in those moments, and that's what we love to bring

(19:06):
Mick into. And look, there's never a shortage of President
Trump headlines or headlines that stem from his administration, especially
the second term, and the ability to have somebody who
can say, well, this is probably what he was thinking
right here, because this is what he did in a
similar situation when I was with him, and you and
I and people will grow to know this about us
who have not been with the show for a while.

(19:27):
We love talking to people who can actually give you
that right in the moment, anecdotal perspective, because access. Yeah,
anybody can can speculate, but you want somebody who actually
has been there and can give you an educated guess
right of.

Speaker 9 (19:42):
What's going on. And that makes us feel you know,
sometimes I even say, Mick, you know, you need to
talk us down.

Speaker 8 (19:46):
From the ledge, and he'll be here in studio a
little bit later, no doubt, we'll talk about what happened
in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. On Friday night, President Trump
holding his latest rally.

Speaker 11 (19:56):
Since my inauguration, we've created more than fifteen eight thousand
North Carolina jobs, including eight thousand North Carolina construction job.
More than one hundred and fifty thousand North Carolina residents
had been lifted off of food stamps.

Speaker 19 (20:14):
They're very happy about that.

Speaker 11 (20:17):
And after your horrible hurricane, which produced more water damage
than any hurricane in history, the Democrats let you down.
They really didn't remember. They wouldn't do anything. Remember, they
wouldn't go to your community, they wouldn't do anything. You
had to wait till January twentieth, when I took office
that we really knocked.

Speaker 19 (20:36):
The hell out of it.

Speaker 11 (20:37):
Remember as soon as I took office, I got in
on January twentieth that I first thing I did was
made North Carolina phone calls, and we did a hell
of a job.

Speaker 19 (20:49):
At a hell of a job. You'd still be sitting
in the mud.

Speaker 11 (20:52):
If I didn't get elect fifty would be people were
sitting in the mud. But I helped rebuild your state,
and I didn't get any help the Democrats, not your governor,
not your man that's running, by the way, for Senate
against Michael Wattley, who's phenomenal. Michael Wattley is incredible. Your
previous governor was a disaster. He's also a radical left person.

(21:14):
By the way, he's radical left. You don't want him.
He doesn't represent you. You just look at the crime.
Look at what's going on with all the crime here,
the slitting throats and stuff. I didn't I never saw
that with you. Now, all of a sudden, that's what
we see. You got to get Michael Wattley. It's going
to be so important.

Speaker 19 (21:31):
He was so great.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Don't forget.

Speaker 11 (21:34):
I took Michael and I put him as the head
of the party because he did so great. We won
the state all three times, and it was like a rock.

Speaker 8 (21:43):
President Trump speaking in Rocky Mount on Friday night, long
greatest hits kind of speech and a lot of reaction.
It's interesting that race he speaks up with Watley. Now
in the GOP primary, you already know that Don Brown
is running, and now Michelle Morrow has.

Speaker 10 (21:59):
Joined the the race.

Speaker 8 (22:00):
So the GOP primary, and of course Whatley is the
Trump endorsed Endorsee, so he's the front runner.

Speaker 10 (22:08):
But it's getting more crowded.

Speaker 11 (22:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (22:10):
Well, and speaking of crowds, the reports coming out of
the rally in Rocky Mount, the Washington Post was reporting
a smaller than average crowd than Donald Trump usually draws.
But the President himself posted on True Social as he
left North Carolina saying, just leaving North Carolina where the
crowd was amazing. So there are conflicting reports about what

(22:32):
the crowd size actually was at the Rocky Mount event.

Speaker 8 (22:36):
And then you had the Turning Point USA America Fest
convention this weekend, which is you know, a turning point,
which is the organization founded by Charlie Kirk and now
headed by his widow, Erica Kirk. Erica Kirk spoke at
this over the weekend made some news by who she endorsed.

Speaker 13 (22:54):
We're going to ensure that President Trump has Congress for
all four years. We are going to get my husband's
friend JD. Vance elected for forty eight and the most
zombie fotball and for our hometown Arizona, folks, are you

(23:21):
guys in the house Arizona?

Speaker 9 (23:25):
Go Biggs or go home? Is where we're at right now.

Speaker 8 (23:27):
Mentally, so, Erica Kirk was a headliner also JD. Vance speaking,
and she spoke of him.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
There.

Speaker 8 (23:34):
You also had people like Donald Trump Junior. So it
was sort of like a seapack feel almost.

Speaker 9 (23:39):
And it's interesting to note what the tone was like
online for people who weren't at the TPUSA conference. First
of all, Erica Kirk apparently had trouble with her iPad
that contained the speech that she was scheduled to make,
which the speech itself was a big deal. If you
saw any of the footage, you know, she walked out
to flaming fireworks, you know, going off and things like that,

(24:01):
and because of that it was a big, very big deal.
She and when she realized her iPad wasn't working, she
quote unquote blamed the enemy for the iPad not working,
but online there's this really strange thing that's happening where
people are splitting, even the people who have been supporters
of Turning Point USA, that people aren't as understanding maybe

(24:27):
as they could be or as they should be about
you know, where she is post the assassination of her
husband and kind of what the public persona is versus
what people expect it to be. And so online is
this very kind of nasty place right now when it
comes to the discussion about tp USA.

Speaker 8 (24:46):
Also this weekend, we'll get into this a bit later,
and also with Mick mulvaney, the DOJ releasing the Epstein
file files quote unquote files, but a lot of redactions
in those files and some images were taken down and
then restored in the last twenty four hours. So there's
a lot going on there, and there are a lot
of people who are not necessarily thrilled with the transparency

(25:10):
that was released. I mean, Friday was the deadline, we
knew that, but there's still a lot of question marks
as you get up on a Monday morning as to
what was really going on there because a lot of
the names are blacked out.

Speaker 9 (25:23):
And Roe Conna and Thomas Massey, the two congressmen from
different sides of the aisle. They have a few things
to say about that, including potentially saying that Pam Bondi
should be held in contempt. And we'll talk certainly with
mc mulvaney about that, what that means, and how much
of Congress would have to support that in order for
it to become a thing.

Speaker 8 (25:44):
All right, eight in front of seven on WBT, one
of seven point nine FM BO and Beth here. You know,
I was thinking about this. So this is our short
week for Christmas Week, So we're here today and tomorrow
and then back Monday and Tuesday of next week. But
we're barreling towards January first, twenty twenty six, and pretty

(26:07):
soon people's attentions are going to turn to New Year's
resolutions for a day or two, and then laws that
take effect on January one, twenty twenty six, because every
year there are a slew of them that you may
not remember our coming, that are going to affect your
life in some ways, big, in some ways, small, in
some ways. Maybe what's it going to be like? Down
the line?

Speaker 16 (26:28):
Right?

Speaker 9 (26:28):
And one of the big questions is coming from retailers
and grossers. Specifically, Robert F. Kennedy Junior's long heralded food
stamp reform is actually coming on January first, but a
lot of retailers are looking to figure out what items
are actually banned in this food stamp reform now is

(26:48):
these are snap benefits that we're talking about specifically here
and in states are responsible for setting guidelines. A lot
of the guidelines for snap benefits and states have different
ways of approaching this. But what OURFK Junior wants is
for people to not be able to use their snap
benefits to buy things like sodas or chips or things

(27:11):
deemed quote unquote as junk food, and that is leaving
many retailers scrambling. Sh Bo Thompson the single he single
handedly keeps diet Coke in business, but the retailers are
scrambling wondering how they're going to keep up with these guidelines.
How does this change as manufacturers change the ingredients of

(27:35):
some of the quote unquote junk foods and make them
a little healthier. Looking at RFK Junior's guidelines for making
America Healthy again, but also beyond that, now, some people
are wondering will this move beyond snap benefits. Will we
suddenly see a world or a country that's saying, hey,

(27:56):
what if we just banned junk food?

Speaker 8 (27:58):
So not snap benefits, but snack benefits benefits?

Speaker 9 (28:02):
What if we ban snack benefits? Not that this is happening,
not that this isn't happening, but people are wondering are
we headed in that direction?

Speaker 8 (28:10):
Retailers could be required to ban as many as one
hundred and twenty thousand food and drink items, depending on
the state, according to an estimate from the National Grocers Association.
Now again, this is about snap benefits, but your mind
starts wondering and where are were going at?

Speaker 20 (28:25):
Right?

Speaker 8 (28:25):
Eventually? Are you going to be telling me what snacks
I can have and not? And I start thinking, well,
what would be the deal breakers?

Speaker 9 (28:32):
Okay, yeah, so if there were, if somebody said there
you can't have, there's not gonna be a chip aisle
anymore at the grocery store. There aren't going to be.

Speaker 10 (28:41):
So there'll be plenty of green bean aisles.

Speaker 9 (28:44):
Which is my favorite aisle as you guys, well.

Speaker 10 (28:46):
To the green bean store if you are listening last week.

Speaker 9 (28:50):
But like if there were no cracker aisles, cookie.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Eye, let's see I would will even go in the store.

Speaker 9 (28:54):
All of those items that that that quite frankly gotten
kind of expensive. But a lot of these companies now
are doing cleaner ingredients in their snack items, you know,
like the taking away dies and taking away the non
what did they call them, like non food items that
are in the food. But if there were if they

(29:18):
said tomorrow, if somebody said tomorrow, we're taking away all
the snacks.

Speaker 8 (29:24):
Well you know what mine? Mine? Immediately would I'd be
in trouble with the diet coke. I mean, so let's
put that one out of the way. But as we're
thinking in this room, are you can you guys immediately
think of the one thing or the two things snack
wise that if you were told, okay, you can't have
that anymore, it doesn't matter who's in office, that'd be
a deal breaker.

Speaker 9 (29:41):
Oh yeah, yeah, hoard it. I'd hoard them. I'd have
to hoard it. I'd have to hoard some of the
items for a while.

Speaker 8 (29:46):
Okay, so what would it be?

Speaker 9 (29:48):
I have two guys, I have two. I have two
that just just I just I have two.

Speaker 8 (29:54):
Spit it out.

Speaker 9 (29:55):
Beth Plain plain lays potato chips and food Lie and
specifically Food Lion French onion debt, not even ruffles, just
the plain lays and French onion dep Oh. But here's
my other one.

Speaker 10 (30:12):
Taste the value.

Speaker 9 (30:14):
But y'all, if you've not had so, I love French
onion dip. Daisy Daisy French onion dip is probably my
second favorite. But if you are, if you like French
onion dip, I am telling you the Food Lion brand
French onion dip is legit. I don't know what it
is about it, but it's good.

Speaker 8 (30:30):
So wait, can you get it at public? Sir Harris
Teeter like the equivalent?

Speaker 9 (30:33):
Nope, you cannot, and I have tried. It's the Food
Lion brand Food Lion. But the other the other thing
that I would really need Doritos and hot paste Pecani sauce.
No regular Doritos dipped in hot paste Pecanti sauce. Not
the paste sauce, the paste Pecani sauce. It's a little

(30:54):
water eer it's super hot. But Doritos my little brother
and I ate them as a kid, and I can yeah,
every now and again, I need some Doritos and paste
Peccani sauce. You can't take them. You can't take them, Bernie.

Speaker 10 (31:07):
What's your go to?

Speaker 16 (31:08):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (31:08):
I love some gushers?

Speaker 8 (31:09):
H cushers are so good?

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Is that?

Speaker 9 (31:12):
The gummies with the jelly?

Speaker 8 (31:13):
Yes, I've never seen you even bring those in here.

Speaker 12 (31:16):
I mean every single day you have some with you?

Speaker 10 (31:18):
Tony, yeah, I do do.

Speaker 8 (31:19):
We have them in the in the machine down in
the hall.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
Ah.

Speaker 8 (31:23):
George, what's your go to?

Speaker 9 (31:25):

Speaker 12 (31:28):
Oh yeah, every day.

Speaker 10 (31:29):
Wow, it's really bad.

Speaker 8 (31:30):
It's bad, Bernie, just like it lost about ten years
an age.

Speaker 18 (31:35):
Mine will grosser buying a room out, but it has
to be black liquors black.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
I never knew this about you.

Speaker 12 (31:42):
George, will have ROOPI or too wow.

Speaker 10 (31:45):
Okay, yeah no, you guys probably should know mine.

Speaker 9 (31:50):
I mean it's diet code. But the food I feel
like it would be. I feel like it would be
extra toasty cheese.

Speaker 10 (31:56):
It's or boom you got it? There it is that
right there. How are you doing?

Speaker 16 (32:00):
Thinking?

Speaker 8 (32:00):

Thank me up a cup of coffee and chocolate grown
up with some of those little.

Speaker 10 (32:03):
Springs on top where you.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
As long as you're thinking from one oh seven point
nine m w BT Sharlott's FM.

Speaker 9 (32:10):
Do you just talk, Hey, Sam, practicing gratitude, manifesting abundance.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
This is Good Morning Beat with Bo Thompson at Beth

Speaker 10 (32:21):
Job, I'll trade this whole thing out.

Speaker 1 (32:23):

Speaker 5 (32:28):
I was just thinking maybe me and you can.

Speaker 21 (32:33):
No, no, no, we didn't open our prison.

Speaker 3 (32:34):

Speaker 12 (32:35):

Speaker 21 (32:38):
The cutest thing ever from Roy A giant Teddy Bear
bigger than you. Sounds great. Oh it really does sound good. Look, Beth,
I gotta go the Christmas.

Speaker 10 (32:56):
Trees on the firelight.

Speaker 8 (32:58):
We're live on a Monday morning, December twenty second, feeling festive.
Panthers get the big win and even if they continue
the pattern that the season has been and lose next week,
come back and win the final week and things are
good in Tampa Bay. However, you get there. Let's get there.

(33:18):
Jim Zochi, longtime voice of the Panthers Carolina Panthers Radio Network,
with US today. And you know you've seen this team
through ups and downs, and ups and downs and ups
and downs. And I could go on for a whole
hour of ups and downs, but hid in the road
pack you can go. It's nice to be feeling this
way this time of year again, and you know, one

(33:39):
foot in front of the other, and let's not get
too ahead of ourselves, but let it's nice to be
thinking about January important football.

Speaker 10 (33:46):
No, you're right, and we're guaranteed that now the last
regular season game is in January and January fourth, whatever
it is. And I think for the Panthers, you know,
the fans, we always say, if we could just win
seven raight games, would be happy with. Then if we
could just make the playoffs, and then it'll be can
we just make the playoffs and win the playoff game?
And then can we win the Super Bowl? So you

(34:07):
always want the next thing. But it is fun to
be relevant. You know, we win the combine, can we
win the conference? We did win the NBA Summer League.
But Ron Rivera used always say be relevant. I think,
you know, the Panthers have not really been relevant the
last seven years in a row, through a variety of
coaching regimes and so forth. So now I mean with
Dave Canals, I mean beyond the fact what their record

(34:28):
is and that they're in contention, this team plays hard
like they seem like they like coach Dave Canals, and
they've bought in to it. And that's what you're really
looking for, is that that cultural shift of guys who
want to be here and that it matters to them.
Because you could have talented players, they'll come and go
when some are just you know, NFL mercenaries as we say,
they go from team to team and collect paychecks and

(34:49):
put up stats. I think this team has bought into being,
you know, a team and playing hard for this area
and being a part of what's going on. And yesterday
at home that felt like a home field advantage.

Speaker 9 (35:00):
I think success in real success in things like sports
and I don't know radio, come down to chemistry, Like
real chemistry, you can't deny it. And it seems like
this team and I think it has a lot to
do with Canalis. They have chemistry. There's a chemistry that
you can feel on the field, but that you know
that that transfers off the field into the locker room

(35:20):
and you cannot fake real chemistry.

Speaker 8 (35:24):
Dave Canalis, speaking of the head coach after the game yesterday.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Almost like that it's like where else would you rather be?

Speaker 2 (35:29):
You know, I have all the problems.

Speaker 8 (35:30):
That's actually Bryce young Bernie, the one I meant to
get there, Bryce, let me get let me get number three. Actually,
this is Dave Canalis in the Love talking about the
locker room and what he said to the guys.

Speaker 17 (35:40):
Hope, belief everything's right in front of us still, and
to give ourselves a chance to continue to play meaningful
football this time of year. They've earned that. They've earned
that because of the work. They've earned that, because of
being accountable to each other and really having a great
week of preparation. And you know, I think I mentioned
to all of you the focus that this group had

(36:01):
this week and understanding what's in front of us, and
you know, my message to them was like, we've been
playing playoff football for a really long time, you know,
and because of our record early on, every single one
of those games, you know, for the last month have
been so critical for us to be in this spot.
And so we got another week, we got another opportunity,
and we have to be able to make sure we
take the lessons from this one and move forward and

(36:22):
try to find our best football.

Speaker 8 (36:23):
Let me say this, I was at the game yesterday
and Bernie and George and Jim and and Beth, you
can understand where we're going here. I mean I heard
I heard about this late Saturday because Greg Olsen called
one of the one of the games on Saturday afternoons,
so he was freed up for Sunday. And I saw
on X late Saturday that they were going to fly
him in, uh to to to be there to hit

(36:45):
the hit the drum in the third quarter. And I'm
going to tell you something, Uh you know, we should
all at some point and I can only imagine what
it felt like to be him in that moment yesterday.
But you know, in the third quarter, the game was
on the line, every the stakes are high, and all
of a sudden they show this this uh this view
from the from the tunnel and it's dark, and all

(37:05):
of a sudden you see the eighty eight illuminated on
the back of his uniform and greg Olsen walks out
and he just kind of stands there in front of
the crowd and just soaks it in. And you know,
to be at that point in anybody's life and what
they do where you can go back and just kind
of like have the whole city in the palm of
your hand for a split second, that that was pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Are you not entertained, I'm telling you.

Speaker 8 (37:26):
I mean I looked at my son and I said,
if they make the playoffs and and and we have
another game like that, the home playoff game, you know
who's got to be there in.

Speaker 10 (37:34):
The tunnel for that game.

Speaker 8 (37:36):
I don't know if it'll happen, but you know who
has to be there?

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Greg Olsen, No, Cam Newton.

Speaker 10 (37:39):
Yeah, Derek, Derek and.

Speaker 9 (37:45):
He's good luck.

Speaker 8 (37:45):
But wait a minute. You know what they need to do.
They need to have Keikley, Olsen, and and Newton together
in that in that tunnel. Can you imagine do that?

Speaker 10 (37:54):
You have to have TD you have to keep going.

Speaker 8 (37:56):
I mean, just you know, get out. That's right, Okay,
you guys see what I'm trying to say.

Speaker 10 (38:02):
The whole team or where do you draw the line.
It's like doing your wedding list for a wedding end.

Speaker 12 (38:05):
That would be like, well, well, if we bring.

Speaker 10 (38:07):
Cam and we bring you know Greg, we have to
invite Ryan well and have Jimmy.

Speaker 8 (38:12):
I think Cam Cam would be a different one because look,
Luke Keickley, you know, works on the radio broadcast. So
Luke's around the team now, and Greg Olsen is around
the team. Somewhat. Oh, I mean, Newton is kind of
I mean, he's been saying things here and there where
it sounds to me like maybe an official sort of
And I don't even know if reconciliation is the right word,

(38:33):
because but there's been a he's not been welcomed back
into the the franchise officially again since since all that
happened on his way out. So I feel like that's
coming at some point, and that, to me, might be
the moment.

Speaker 9 (38:46):
But that has to that's really I think more up
to him because he does a little too much trash talk.
Sometimes it's a kind of bitter party of one. And
it's funny that his number was one, but he like but.

Speaker 8 (38:56):
I heard him say the other day that the Carolina
Panthers was the the only team he ever wanted to
play for, even though even though we played for other teams.
Obviously he played for the Patriots. But I think I
think Cam is if you listen and kind of read
between the lines, I think he sounds like he's sort
of setting the table for that, for that official welcome back.
And to me, if you're if we have a home

(39:17):
playoff game and you have that moment in the tunnel
like you did yesterday with Greg Olsen. Cam would be
a that would be a cool moment.

Speaker 9 (39:23):
Well, what if we went back to the two thousand
and four team, What if we had what with Jake
Delome and Steve Smith come out and ring the or
not ring the.

Speaker 10 (39:35):
Ring the triangle?

Speaker 8 (39:36):
Home playoff game, third quarter. Every panther who's ever played
here should be in the tunnel.

Speaker 9 (39:41):
Every panther who's played in the super Bowl keep pounding.

Speaker 8 (39:44):
Oh no, no, no, no, that's that's something right there in
the super Bowl team three the super Bowl teams, the
two super Bowl two of them.

Speaker 10 (39:51):
So that okay, the guests is getting longer.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
I'm trying to manage the guest list. As you're saying here, they.

Speaker 9 (39:56):
Should just all, you know, just run laps around the outside.

Speaker 8 (40:01):
Mick mixer, uh seven fourteen on WBT. It is one
O seven point nine WBT, Charlotte's FM News Talk Traffic
check now Boomer von Cannon.

Speaker 10 (40:12):
But let's bring a man and have them around these
steps of the upper deck.

Speaker 9 (40:15):
That's what Mick Mixon used to do every day. Really, yeah,
that man, that was his exercise and he.

Speaker 10 (40:20):
Would pick up garbage as he would do it. Yeah,
I'm not even kidding.

Speaker 12 (40:23):
Yeah, what a good man.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Every day.

Speaker 10 (40:26):
I know you're not kidding, and I've never seen it,
but I know it happened. Yep, that's great.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
I not knew that he did that every day he
rose up answer.

Speaker 10 (40:36):
The call was the night before Christmas.

Speaker 12 (40:41):
Oh, not a creature was sterning.

Speaker 8 (40:52):
That one's for Bernie Happy aaron Nevillness to you and yours.
Thanks Bob, always there, man, I'm a giver. You think
pizza giver, I'm a giver seven on WBT. So it
occurs to me that tomorrow gives us an opportunity to

(41:14):
do something we've never done before. We're on Monday and
Tuesday of this week, so I don't know that. I've
definitely not with you, but maybe ever and it's been
a long time, if it's ever happened that I've been
on the air for December twenty third, Ah, Festivus.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
Festivus is tomorrow.

Speaker 9 (41:32):
We need to bring a poll in George.

Speaker 10 (41:34):
This seems like a day invented for you. See. Look,
listen to him. That's the most he's laughed ever.

Speaker 3 (41:41):
Why you say that for me?

Speaker 8 (41:43):
Oh, you know exactly why I'm saying that for you,
I mean you, I mean you might as well be
George Constanza tomorrow, right, because tomorrow is Festivus for the
rest of us, the airing of the grievances we may
have to.

Speaker 10 (41:53):
I'm not saying we're gonna do the whole show that way,
because we're too fested for that.

Speaker 9 (41:57):
Oh yeah, we're too happy for me.

Speaker 8 (41:58):
We're too festive for Festivus.

Speaker 9 (41:59):
Well, I know that you know what my grievances would
my grievances would be for for for for picket minister.

Speaker 8 (42:05):
Yeah, okay, okay, stop it there. I want to save
this for tomorrow because I want to. I want to
end the year on a on a very high note.

Speaker 9 (42:12):
Ticketmaster and Airlines.

Speaker 8 (42:13):
Yeah yeah, and you guys could make the list for me.
I mean, yesterday was quite good because I had the
cushion of protection at the game. Had an aisle seat.
I think it's funny. More than one listener pointed out
that I had. They realized that I had an aisle seat.

Speaker 9 (42:28):
Oh did you post a picture from the game.

Speaker 8 (42:30):
And you can tell that I had an aisle seat.
And that's what I love that, That, to me is
the best thing about using Ticketmaster versus stub Hub if
you get it. If you get tickets off Ticketmaster like
I did, you can see the actual seat versus My
experience with stub Hub, unless I'm doing it wrong, has
been that you you buy your tickets, but it just
says you'll be in this section and then you get

(42:50):
what you get. With Ticketmaster, you can go on and
see the grid and see if there's an aisle seat.

Speaker 9 (42:55):
So isn't that what the billion dollar service fee is for?

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Well, can pick your seat, you know charge you know what.

Speaker 8 (43:01):
If that's what the service fee is for, that's great
because yesterday I sat on the aisle and I had
a seat in between me, and it's it's not a
it's nothing personal. It's just elbow room.

Speaker 9 (43:11):
Wait, you had a seat in between you and your
family member?

Speaker 8 (43:14):
No, no, no, the other side my son. I gave
my son the aisle seat.

Speaker 9 (43:18):
Oh you get okay, yuse that didn't make sense to
me suddenly if you had the aisle seat.

Speaker 10 (43:20):
In no, no, no I gave.

Speaker 8 (43:22):
I gave my son the aisle seat, and then I
had I had the seat beside me. Now you never know,
because you get people that will come and sort of
look for empty seats. And then sit in them and
they're not really their seats.

Speaker 9 (43:32):
So did you buy three seats for two people?

Speaker 20 (43:34):
No?

Speaker 8 (43:34):
I got lucky because I looked on the grid and
the grid had three seats, and I bought two. So
the odds of somebody just buying a single single not
so much. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it's
it's less likely likely to happen, right, right, So I
got I got lucky.

Speaker 9 (43:49):
So it would be so funny, though, if BO got
the single ticket buyer who's just a talker, you know
that that bought the single ticket to make friends and
sat down and didn't let you watch the game, just
like told you all of his stories about his whole life.

Speaker 8 (44:04):
And I did have a standard yesterday. I had two guys,
father and son. Nice guys, but just like you know,
just city, they don't they don't sit the whole time.
And I know some people are saying, man, you're not
a real fan if you sit. I like to sit
every once in a while. And these are the kind
of guys that basically stood the entire game, and they're
doing the you know, the on the seats in front

(44:25):
of them. Uh huh, you know the bank never seats
against the back when.

Speaker 12 (44:28):
Yeah, yeah, you take the back of the seat and
you just slam it against it's it's very loud.

Speaker 8 (44:32):
And they even say to do it on the screen there.
So I'm not saying that it's it's it's it's encouraged.
But you know, I prefer to sit with somebody who
doesn't do it the whole game. So I did have
a couple of people, but but I was happy.

Speaker 10 (44:43):
Man.

Speaker 8 (44:43):
I had the aisle seat and I had the I
had the elbow room. So that was that's that's that's
more than enough.

Speaker 12 (44:48):
Oh have you noticed that if your son has bow tendencies,
has picked up any of the bow tendencies?

Speaker 8 (44:54):
I don't think we'll be able to know until we
see him by himself in the wild in a few years,
you know, when he gets to be about you know,
thirty ish. I think I think then you'll be able
to tell you.

Speaker 12 (45:05):
It's going to be out in about. You'd be like
proud of you.

Speaker 2 (45:06):
Soon you'll be able to tell whether I boy, I've
raised him right.

Speaker 8 (45:10):
We'll see. But anyway, so yesterday you and I both
have started going down the grievances route. But tomorrow we
might have to open up the phones on the text
line for I don't want the whole show to be
the airing of grievances because I don't want to leave
for the holidays. On that note, but earlier in the show, like,
maybe we'll find some time in the six or seven
o'clock hour or so and and honor Festivus the way

(45:33):
it should be honored. We just were usually not on
the air for Festivus.

Speaker 9 (45:36):
That's actually true. We usually have this week off, but
we decided, we made the decision, We made the conscious
decision to be here this week because we wanted to
be here with some of our new listeners so that
we could all become even a bigger family.

Speaker 12 (45:49):
Thank you for your service man, Thank you for your
attention to this matter.

Speaker 8 (45:54):
So we will be here, by the way, And since
you say that, today and tomorrow, and then the following
week Monday and Tuesday of next week as well, So
that's our schedule. We will be taking some time off
at the end of this week. But I think that
falls in line with what a lot of people do.
I will have the best of GMBT coming up on
Wednesday morning. And I keep saying this, but I want
to remind people that the Boomer von Cannon Holiday Boombox

(46:17):
returns for a second year and TJ TJ's aboard this
year our new member TJ Ritchie at Nights. He wasn't
here for this last year, but so if you listen
to that last year, I think you'll enjoy it. It's
a two hour show that runs several times Christmas even
Christmas Day, and basically it's Boomer von Cannon at the
helm doing the old magic ninety six days thing where

(46:39):
he's walking up the tunes.

Speaker 9 (46:41):
It's the perfect background music for the last minute gift wrapping,
for your little eggnog party or dinner with your family.
Just have it on in the background. It's fun and
festive and emotional with some of the lovely Christmas songs.
You don't have an egnog party, do you?

Speaker 8 (46:58):
I was just thinking, is that a thing? Like just
an eggnog party?

Speaker 9 (47:01):
Not just agnog? But you know, were people having their
little Christmas even they're drinking their eggnog out of their
moose cups, you know, like the Clark w Griswold style.

Speaker 8 (47:11):
Yeah, Like, I know eggnog at parties, but I don't
know of just eggnog parties.

Speaker 9 (47:16):
Well, yeah, I'm cheap.

Speaker 10 (47:21):
Do you egnog?

Speaker 9 (47:22):
So there is an eggnog the there's an eggnog vanilla
eggnog that they sell.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
Okay, that I dig.

Speaker 9 (47:29):
I'm not like I don't really like the regular.

Speaker 8 (47:32):
As I drink my holiday creamy vanilla coke.

Speaker 9 (47:34):
Yes, there is a vanilla eggnog in the like pre
made in the cart and I mean you have to
add if you want to add, how about.

Speaker 8 (47:40):
Just vanilla nog? Forget the egg? Like the egg part
is what is what I gives me trepidation. And this
is a guy who has a scrambled egg every day
for breakfast. But the egg and the nog and the
thing it's just never been and.

Speaker 9 (47:51):
The pre made cartons. Do they actually put eggs in it?
Or are they just calling an eggnog? Is it just
milk with some flavors? I mean, I don't really I'm
asking you the question.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
I don't know castrole.

Speaker 10 (48:01):
We're all kind of move morphed into this voice, and
I don't know how to get out of it. In fact,
I may stay in it for the rest of the show.
How do you get out of this voice?

Speaker 12 (48:08):
It's a voice?

Speaker 9 (48:09):
But if you get the vanilla eggnog, so you get
out of it.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
I'm still in it.

Speaker 9 (48:15):
If you get the vanilla eggnog in the carton, pre
made whatever it is, well, I can't remember the brand
at the grocery store. And then you get spiced I.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
Like some spices. I like some spice.

Speaker 9 (48:26):
Get some spice rum, and you put spiced rum and
the vanilla eggnog. It's a delightful little tree.

Speaker 8 (48:31):
How about this Larry legend, Larry Sprinkle is in studio.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
This show, to me is what real radio is and
should be. Good morning beat.

Speaker 8 (48:41):
I really appreciate you saying that and knowing that you're
out there listening when you can means the world.

Speaker 22 (48:46):
It is entertaining, it's informative a group of people that
obviously like each other. It's like listening in on a
conversation with some good friends that so will richend.

Speaker 9 (48:58):
Issues.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
You didn't miss a line.

Speaker 10 (49:06):
I'm okay with that.

Speaker 8 (49:09):
So some people think that the voice I was using
sounds like Larry Sprinkle.

Speaker 9 (49:12):
Yes, multiple multiple people, Melanie Lori people texting him saying
the weird voice that you got stuck in was a
perfect impersonation of Larry Sprinkle.

Speaker 10 (49:21):
I do the weather, you know.

Speaker 9 (49:26):
Also, we had a call or call in. Man, we
had a caller call in to let me know that
the eggnog that I was thinking about, the vanilla eggnog
is Southern Comfort, Southern Comfort brand agnog. It doesn't have
alcohol in it. It's just vanilla egnog.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
No booze.

Speaker 9 (49:40):
Huh no, no booze. But Liz wanted me to know, and
I this is a public service I think for everyone.
Liz wanted everyone to know that Kirkland's eggnog has brandy
and rum in it. And Liz says it's delicious. So
if you're looking for eggnog options, guys, Southern Comfort, alcohol
less vanilla eggnog delicious, And apparently kirkland agnog is delicious.

(50:01):
I've never had it, the Kirkland.

Speaker 8 (50:03):
We just got a note from our buddy Cohen.

Speaker 9 (50:05):
Yes, oh, oh, oh, Cohen and Belmont.

Speaker 10 (50:07):
Do you have that one?

Speaker 8 (50:08):
Pulled up from too?

Speaker 9 (50:10):
I do Cohen and Belmont. It was like just the
greatest little human. He says, good morning y'all. Are y'all
still going to play the clip of me telling you
about my honeymoon in nineteen fifty or no, my honeymoon
fifty eight years ago. If so, can you please tell
me when so I can notify my son so that
he can hear it. He has a lot of things
going on today and tomorrow. Thanks so much. Merry Christmas.

Speaker 8 (50:29):
So Cohen, for you newcomers, is one of our Hall
of Fame callers because of the first time he ever called,
which was on August fifteenth of twenty twenty four.

Speaker 9 (50:40):
Oh my goodness, it's been Oh my gosh, it's been
that long.

Speaker 8 (50:43):
So Cohen called in last week. And Cohen's one of
those people. If I see him on the board, he
goes to the front of the line. Oh yes, A
handful of callers that are in that category Hall of
Fame callers over the years for various reasons, and we're
slowly introducing them to you if you're new to the show.
Cohen last week call in and I said, you know,
at some point Monday or Tuesday, we need to play

(51:03):
the whole call so people get the whole.

Speaker 10 (51:05):
Context of this, because you really can't make this up now.

Speaker 8 (51:08):
And you have to know, this is one of those
days where Steve said, hey, Bo and Beth, you need
to take this call. And I said, well, kind of no,
you need to take this call, trust me. And we did,
and so Cohen said, when are you guys going to
play that? I'd like to know Cohen right now. It's
the segment that just won't stop.

Speaker 9 (51:25):
I had no idea we take us down this dating
rabbit hole. Just talking about one little fella named David
Kleine who lives in Philadelphia, decided he was done with
dating apps and instead bought himself a billboard.

Speaker 10 (51:41):
Come on you, you've been listening to this show for
this long.

Speaker 8 (51:43):
People, people sort of expect this now.

Speaker 9 (51:47):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (51:47):
Cohen is on line number one. Hello Cohen, welcome to
Good Morning VT.

Speaker 16 (51:53):
Good morning and Beth, Hey there, Cohen, my theay, my goodness.
I love listening to y'all.

Speaker 10 (52:00):
Oh, thank you calling.

Speaker 16 (52:03):
I got a quick story to tell you about.

Speaker 2 (52:06):
My wife.

Speaker 16 (52:07):
I met her she was her dad, on the restaurant
here in town and I had just delivered my paper
wrapped papers. And when I saw her behind the counter,
and I said, oh my, and uh, I got an
order of chocolate milkshake. You gave it to me. Wish
that kind of further with each other a little bit.

(52:30):
I said, I got a good Can I get your
phone number. Give me her phone number on a napkin?
Do you still have a napkin on a napkin? And
I was from the bust side of town, you know,
I like to hunt and see I was, you know,
a big old ritten neck for the hunting fish and
all that crap. And her dad was a golfer.

Speaker 8 (52:50):
And it was the country mouse in the city mouse exactly.

Speaker 16 (52:56):
And so, uh, we David through high school. And I
didn't have any money, you know, my dad had I
and I was working doing paper routes and all that
stuff to help. My mom raised my brother, my brother
and sister, and so that she would bring me a
two the fish sandwich or chicken sally sandwich for lunch
every day. Oh. And we got married and her dad

(53:20):
gave us fifty bucks and we took off for Ashville
and my deceased dads fifty five Chevrolet and our first
meal as a married couple was we each had a
making lettuce tomato and French fries and a coke.

Speaker 9 (53:36):
Hey, that sounds like my kind of meal, man.

Speaker 16 (53:40):
And we stayed there in that little dinky motel. You know,
my heart, I had to go to the bathroom, and.

Speaker 9 (53:50):
Did you see what I think you said you left
the kommote scene up? Is that what you said?

Speaker 16 (53:55):
No, I stopped.

Speaker 12 (54:00):
Dumb and dumber type situation.

Speaker 10 (54:01):
It's at dank sandwich, gotcha.

Speaker 8 (54:07):
This is our new segment Adventures in a dinky motel.

Speaker 10 (54:12):
There is a thing like oversharing, but this.

Speaker 9 (54:16):
Is when he's newly married. Cohen, I'm feeling for you.
I bet you didn't know what to do. You were like,
don't go in the bathroom.

Speaker 16 (54:22):
I did not know. If I had a cold guy
and he come in from the you know where they'd
sit the desk, he had a plunger.

Speaker 10 (54:30):
Just turned into a Ben Stiller movie. There's no hiding
it at that point, or an Al Gardner's song.

Speaker 16 (54:35):
A long story short of that, I'm been for my
wife and the military. I only get a lord toast
for I would have ended up. I'll probably be in
prison somewhere. But we uh on Christmas Day we will
have been married fifty seven years.

Speaker 12 (54:52):
Oh wow, she's stuck with you even after the blown
up at room. She's a good woman.

Speaker 8 (54:56):
At the dinky motel, mind you.

Speaker 16 (54:58):
Yep, he is a woman in town fifty seven years
ago and still is.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
That's how you do love, and yes.

Speaker 16 (55:08):
Some people marry it. I'm married, way the hell of it.

Speaker 9 (55:16):
I love you so much, Cohen.

Speaker 16 (55:21):
Oh giveness. And anyway, we've got a very successful son
and two grandchildren, eighteen year old grandough.

Speaker 8 (55:28):
Are you about to tell me that he's a plumber,
he's a sandwich maker?

Speaker 10 (55:36):
That was guest number two? Well, Cohen, I don't even
know what to say after this.

Speaker 9 (55:42):
I kind of love it. Were his buds. He told
us the whole story. I love it.

Speaker 16 (55:47):
Yep, that's it.

Speaker 8 (55:48):
I guess the natural question at the end of all
of this, if you could put your face and your
plunger on a billboard, if you were still on the market,
would you do it?

Speaker 16 (56:00):
Lord? Though?

Speaker 10 (56:02):
All right, you have a great day. I feel like
we're just in the show now. I know, how can
we even how can we build upon that?

Speaker 1 (56:09):
At all?

Speaker 9 (56:10):
Call of the day?

Speaker 10 (56:11):
All right, the call of the year? Wow, what just happened?

Speaker 8 (56:14):
That was twenty twenty four.

Speaker 9 (56:16):
Oh Cohen, it's even better listening back to it. I
he just I mean, I love that he called to
just tell us about him clogging the.

Speaker 12 (56:25):
Toilet the twa of my parts, So you said it
really quietly, almost like he was like whispering into.

Speaker 8 (56:29):
The oh yeah, so great, and then Marian Way the.

Speaker 9 (56:33):
Hell up, I know, luckiest lady ever. So now they
will have been married fifty eight years and we get
to replay that really just right before their you know,
their their wedding anniversary. That thrills my heart. And Cohen
uses Cardinal Environmental solutions and the tech Drew yep.

Speaker 12 (56:52):
Oh Drew.

Speaker 10 (56:54):
So Cohen, there you go. He wanted to know when
we were going to play it.

Speaker 8 (56:56):
We did it, and now and now many of our
new listeners one oh seven point nine understand the legend
of Cohen.

Speaker 9 (57:02):
Yep, y'all all need to know Cohen.

Speaker 2 (57:05):
You know.

Speaker 8 (57:06):
It reminded me of another legendary call that came to
our show around the holidays. We might have to get
to You've probably forgotten about this, but I certainly have not.

Speaker 16 (57:14):
I have.

Speaker 8 (57:15):
I love the face he's making at me right now,
like what is he about to play?

Speaker 10 (57:20):
Let's do it traffic check right now? Boom or von canon.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
You know, we never get tired of hearing to call
from Cohen?

Speaker 10 (57:25):
No ever, no, right, I mean this great stuff man,
The fact that.

Speaker 9 (57:29):
He just over shared. I appreciate it. I applaud it.

Speaker 2 (57:33):
Cohen, you are the man. You are the man.

Speaker 8 (57:35):
If you can get past an obstacle like that on
your first weekend, then everything else did from there. I mean,
what else could possibly get in your rest?

Speaker 9 (57:43):
All downhill? It's all downhill.

Speaker 8 (57:46):
Make sure you got to make sure the pipe is
on an incline.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
So, Billy, welcome back to the airwaves. New Christmas single
cover of Love is All Around.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
Except we've changed the word love Christmas.

Speaker 4 (58:01):
Yes?

Speaker 15 (58:02):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (58:02):
Is that an important message to you?

Speaker 1 (58:04):
Bill?

Speaker 13 (58:05):
Not?

Speaker 12 (58:05):
Really?

Speaker 2 (58:06):
I feel it in my fingers.

Speaker 3 (58:10):
I feel it in my toes.

Speaker 1 (58:18):
Love is all around me and so loaughy.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
I'm afraid you did it again, Bill.

Speaker 1 (58:26):
It's just I know the old version so well. You
know well we all do.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
That's why we're making the new version.

Speaker 8 (58:36):
Nine minutes in front of eight o'clock here Monday, December
twenty second, Gowen Beth here fwns of the season.

Speaker 13 (58:45):
I feel it in.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
My fingers, I feel it in my toes.

Speaker 10 (58:51):
I'm just gonna have played over and over for you.

Speaker 3 (58:56):
Christmas Is All Around.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Ah.

Speaker 8 (59:02):
What a classic.

Speaker 9 (59:04):
And if you are planning on watching that with your family,
you shouldn't only only watch that made for TV version
don't don't rent it.

Speaker 8 (59:12):
We've talked about this before. If you grew up on
certain movies like Christmas Vacation, this one, and then you
watched it on the sanitize like USA Network or AMC,
and then you're switching back over to some streaming where
they don't have to censor it, you're gonna forget some parts.

Speaker 9 (59:31):
Oh, and you're gonna see a lot of parts.

Speaker 10 (59:35):
Excellent point.

Speaker 2 (59:37):
Fighting for the.

Speaker 1 (59:38):
Christmas number one? How was it looking at?

Speaker 16 (59:40):
So fun?

Speaker 1 (59:41):
Very bad indeed, But I'm hoping for a late search.

Speaker 20 (59:47):
If I reached number one, I promise to sing a
song Stark Naked on TV.

Speaker 10 (59:53):
But I say, on Christmas C do you mean that
or a cool something?

Speaker 1 (59:57):
I mean it?

Speaker 2 (59:57):
Michael?

Speaker 1 (59:57):
Would you want to preview?

Speaker 15 (01:00:00):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (01:00:02):
Anyway, we were playing the Cohen's. The Cohen Call from
twenty twenty four reminded me of another very famous call
around the Christmas holiday season that I'll never forget, and
I think you will immediately remember it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
But you're not.

Speaker 8 (01:00:18):
You're not tracking with me yet. Okay, while we're getting
nostalgic again, one oh seven point nine new listeners were
trying to bring you up to speed on some of
the great moments of the show in the last almost
four years. We got a call one time, and just
so I properly set this up. We were we were
talking to people asking them if they'd ever texted somebody

(01:00:39):
like you're texting somebody? And who texted to the wrong person?

Speaker 9 (01:00:42):
Oh, kind of like I did to one of our
listeners not long ago. I texted him something about stinkle
and it wasn't meant for him. He had asked a
very specific question and I wrote back and then called
us to read my text out loud to him. Was
a glorious moment.

Speaker 8 (01:01:01):
So back in twenty twenty two, we did a show
one day asking people, have you ever texted the wrong person?

Speaker 10 (01:01:07):
By accident? This lady called in WBT, Hi, Kathy.

Speaker 23 (01:01:12):
I know this is kind of a little different. It's
not necessarily a message to someone.

Speaker 10 (01:01:20):
You mean our show.

Speaker 23 (01:01:22):
Yes, I know I shift gears sometimes, but I wasn't
listening to the show when I called.

Speaker 3 (01:01:31):
But I have a.

Speaker 23 (01:01:32):
Suggestion, since it's the holiday season, if the kids would
actually find a name for Santas Sleigh.

Speaker 9 (01:01:45):
They could name it like a car. Yes, I'll have
to think on that one.

Speaker 24 (01:01:51):
I have one.

Speaker 9 (01:01:52):
Oh, okay, I thought of.

Speaker 23 (01:01:55):
It during the course of the evening.

Speaker 24 (01:02:00):
Uh it is uh uh.

Speaker 10 (01:02:08):
I don't know what's happening here.

Speaker 23 (01:02:09):
Uh, you've got it, Kethy.

Speaker 24 (01:02:13):
The it's uh it deals with the eggnog Yes, uh
noog a hide.

Speaker 9 (01:02:27):
Nag a hide Yes for Sana Sleigh.

Speaker 16 (01:02:30):
Yes, I like it.

Speaker 9 (01:02:34):
We're gonna go with that.

Speaker 8 (01:02:38):
Okay, thank you, Kathy. We appreciate the phone call, and
that'll do it for Coast to Coast. Both Thompson and
Beth Tropman are next. I hope you've enjoyed George Norri tonight.
We'll be back overnight on WBT.

Speaker 10 (01:03:01):
I don't know what to say.

Speaker 2 (01:03:02):
I really don't.

Speaker 8 (01:03:07):
There are a few times when I've been on the
air where the only thing missing in that was I
don't even have Tonight's I mean, right, we're gonna collect ourselves.
Ray and Ozzie, I apologize we did not get.

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
To you, but.

Speaker 8 (01:03:25):
Maybe we will.

Speaker 10 (01:03:26):
I'm still processing, but I just figured it out.

Speaker 8 (01:03:30):
Oh and we're sitting here wondering what just happened.

Speaker 10 (01:03:34):
I know exactly what happened. Kathy called the wrong show.

Speaker 8 (01:03:41):
It actually is perfect synergy because we're doing a segment
about texting the wrong person.

Speaker 10 (01:03:46):
She called the wrong show.

Speaker 9 (01:03:47):
And it just works perfectly.

Speaker 2 (01:03:50):
It does. We plan the whole thing.

Speaker 10 (01:03:53):
Kathy from twenty twenty two.

Speaker 9 (01:03:55):
That's when we first started this show full time together.
And I am crying laughing. I had forgotten about that
call because she did she said it. She told us
from the get go. I wasn't listening to the show. No,
I mean I just decided to call.

Speaker 8 (01:04:09):
That was like our second to last show for the year,
because it was at Christmas time and she's talking about
the sleigh and the and the noog and just kind
of looked at you. I have no idea what's happening,
and I think we just it's like we called in
a Kathy show like mid stream right now. Again. I

(01:04:29):
love this because when we play some of these greatest
Hits moments, they're little easter eggs about things that we
reference from other calls. Did you hear me say the
word tonightis?

Speaker 9 (01:04:39):
Yes? Oh do you have that call too?

Speaker 8 (01:04:42):
I think we have to do the trifecta right like
we did Cohen. We did, we did Kathy, and we
might have to do tonightis The lady's name was Elaine,
and this was a few years ago too.

Speaker 10 (01:04:52):
This is in the early days of the show.

Speaker 8 (01:04:54):
But Elaine regarding tonightas I have I have it, I
have it with me. Stay tuned because we're gonna we're
gonna complete the set of unforgettable moments and GMBT lore.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
Let me take a wild guess. You're not calling to wish.

Speaker 9 (01:05:09):
Me a good morning morning.

Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
Well, no, it's not exactly a good morning.

Speaker 25 (01:05:12):
You have a kind of a situation down here at
the squawk the signal it's it's gone all wonky from.

Speaker 3 (01:05:16):
A one oh seven point nine FM WBT Sharlett's.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
FM News Talk.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
You didn't get the turbo charger.

Speaker 1 (01:05:23):
No, I'm also giving up free hug.

Speaker 3 (01:05:25):
This is Good Morning Beat with Bo Thompson at Beth
Trout with it is your.

Speaker 9 (01:05:30):
Receiver in any way connected to the flex capacitor.

Speaker 5 (01:05:37):
You've been playing championship playoff football for a long time, Okay,
for weeks and weeks. We just gotta keep continuing to
find a way. We got a hell of an up
coming up boy to celebrate the hell out of this.
There was gonna come a moment. Okay, offense had a moment.
We went down the field, Ryan downed the field goal,

(01:05:59):
and then defense had a moment.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
To make a play.

Speaker 5 (01:06:03):
Look you a little brim right there. Okay, but guess what,
just give us one more chance. How are we gonna
get it done together?

Speaker 7 (01:06:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:06:11):
Yeah, talking together, communicating the whole time. Everybody was in
it the entire time. That's what it's gonna take. Okay,
we got some cool stuff right here. Okay. First of all,
Bryce twelfth game winning dried his career less book.

Speaker 6 (01:06:26):
Okay, Boom, how to Sack, pe Me, how to Sack?

Speaker 7 (01:06:32):
And then Ransom for the intercept to the Sun.

Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
This is the song that Beth woke up to today.

Speaker 9 (01:06:45):
Good morning.

Speaker 8 (01:06:46):
We come out of the gate at six oh five
every day on this show and played the song at
Beth woke up too.

Speaker 9 (01:06:51):
No matter what it is in my head, I sing
it in my head, I.

Speaker 8 (01:06:54):
Told her today. No Sarah Barrales, Carolina Panthers ate and
seven alone a top of the NFC South beating the
Tampa Bay Bucks twenty three to twenty Yesterday, Bo Thompson,
Beth Troutman, Jim Zochi, fresh off of wfn Z down
the Hall rather festive, I assume.

Speaker 10 (01:07:13):
Every other week is Yes, it's the best of times,
it's the worst of times.

Speaker 8 (01:07:19):
With the mist.

Speaker 10 (01:07:20):
So the biggest complaint today was I didn't you guys
were all mostly at the game. You say everyone, most
of the people on the trip.

Speaker 9 (01:07:26):
I didn't get invited.

Speaker 2 (01:07:27):
That's okay.

Speaker 10 (01:07:27):
It was like the big guy invited. People paid it
to go.

Speaker 8 (01:07:30):
But it sounds really bad when I had a seat
next to me right and that I didn't get to go.

Speaker 10 (01:07:37):
One of the textures his complaint was the NFB building.
I think it's one of looks like the New Land
Patriots logo, the Federal National The sun was reflecting too
hard into his eyes at the stadium. So I go.
If that's the biggest complaint anybody had about the Panthers
game yesterday, was the sun reflecting off of one of
our many city buildings. I said, you know one we
could ask if they could pull the big shade down

(01:07:58):
or something. And too, I'm glad that's the biggest complaint
anybody had about the game yesterday.

Speaker 12 (01:08:02):
It's that new building next to the Duke Energy lot.

Speaker 10 (01:08:05):
So the Carol, how do you see a three story,
you know, little building or a parking lot or something.

Speaker 8 (01:08:11):
So the Panthers win yesterday, they had they have Seattle
at home next week. The Tampa Bay Bucks, they move
on and play Miami next week, and then of course
the final game of the season will be in Tampa Bay.
Now what will be on the line by the time
we get there, we'll see, because if the Panthers beat
the Seahawks and the Bucks lose this coming week, then
the Panthers arrived in Tampa Bay with you know, it

(01:08:33):
all wrapped up. But if the Panthers lose to Seattle,
and Seattle is one of the best teams in the
league right now Sam Darnold helmed Seattle Seahawks and the
Bucks win this coming week, then that all the marbles
are are there, all the stakes in Tampa last game
of the season. So but the Panthers winning yesterday mean
that they can they can see the path here we go.

Speaker 10 (01:08:55):
And the reason why yesterday, of the three games on
the Panthers schedule heading into it so important was if
we had lost that game yesterday, not only would we
have to beat twelve and three Seattle, the Bucks would
have to lose to Miami and we'd have to win
at Tampa Bay. So this is this is a much
more practical way. Even if we lose next week, we

(01:09:15):
still control the destiny if we win at Tampa Bay
and do nothing else, that gets you in.

Speaker 8 (01:09:20):
So that's why yesterday was so big. Panthers eight and seven,
Bucks are seven and eight. So we're all alone right now,
and you know, this is what you want. This is
what you want, relevant games, important games in December and
now ready to turn the page into the next year.
You know, the Seahawks are twelve and three, they've won
five straight. They just beat the Rams thirty eight at

(01:09:42):
thirty seven on Thursday Night Football. So all this talk
about Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold figuring into all this,
it's here. But Bernie, real quick, let me have number
five because you may wonder what did Baker Mayfield have
to say after this Yesterday? Not a whole lot got it.

Speaker 14 (01:09:57):
Went out to win the division, to get in the playoffs.
It's I mean, it's as clear as it can be.
Wish we would have taken care of business today, but
situation doesn't change.

Speaker 12 (01:10:05):
So yeah, it sucks.

Speaker 14 (01:10:08):
There's too many penalties on offense, keep shooting ourselves in
the foot and got to finish with seven in the
red zone in stead of three.

Speaker 10 (01:10:14):
It's same story, different different.

Speaker 8 (01:10:18):
Day, and so last week you had Leith and Ransom
sort of shooting himself in the foot, but he comes
back around and makes the play, and when you look
back at this season, could be the play of the season.

Speaker 10 (01:10:29):
It was, and it clearly was a miscommunication of what
Baker thought the route by Mike Evans was going to
be there. But we'll take advantage. You still have to
make the interception, you make the play. But we talked
about the previous week the Leithan Ransom penalty. Eleven penalties
in that game one hundred three yards. Yesterday five penalties
thirty yards. So they're good like when they lose to
not only come back and win, but they addressed the

(01:10:49):
things that tend to go wrong the week before immediately.
So that's a good thing. And we want on a
day where we didn't really run the ball well. Outside
of Jimmy Horne the receiver, having a twenty five yard run,
we did not run the ball well, which is usually
one of the kind of pillars of things that have
to happen for the Panthers to win. And despite not
having that, Carolina still found a.

Speaker 16 (01:11:06):
Way to win.

Speaker 8 (01:11:07):
So Mick mulvaney is just grace. It's in the studio.
He's going to be with us this hour. Are you
at the game yesterday?

Speaker 2 (01:11:12):
No, I actually listened to the game on radio.

Speaker 10 (01:11:15):
There you go, And that's the best way, so much
better than experiencing it live in personal listen to some
of the time, some of the time.

Speaker 2 (01:11:22):
Some of the time.

Speaker 10 (01:11:22):
Depends on which game. So next Tampa Bay game.

Speaker 8 (01:11:25):
I the Bucks play Miami this week, and Miami, you know,
that's a much easier opponent on paper. They're six and nine,
and you have the Tanthers play the week.

Speaker 10 (01:11:33):
Steve's not here. We played Neil diamond songs, and we
talk about the Miami Dolphins, all the things that are
Steve and tomorrow snails.

Speaker 2 (01:11:42):
We've got some Brian Adams coming. We celebrate festiv Us
tomorrow and Steve's not here.

Speaker 8 (01:11:49):
Real quick. So so Mick is here and we've got
lots to talk about. I mentioned heading into the top
of the last hour that we we heard from Cohen,
we heard the famous call from Caro the method forgotten about.

Speaker 9 (01:12:01):
I had completely forgotten about Karen calling it to tell
us to name santus.

Speaker 16 (01:12:06):
Kathleen.

Speaker 10 (01:12:06):
Kathleen, No, it was Erin, it was Kathy. You're right,
not Karen, but Kat has three names.

Speaker 8 (01:12:12):
Well, I know the next lady you're gonna hear from
real quick. Here is Elaine. Now in the Kathy call
I mentioned tonightis.

Speaker 10 (01:12:20):
Yeah, this one.

Speaker 8 (01:12:21):
Again, we're on one oh seven point nine and we
have new people in the mix. Who are we're catching.

Speaker 10 (01:12:26):
In the mix?

Speaker 8 (01:12:28):
That's actually that's one hundred point nine, not a nine
point three. But so Elaine, this is another lady that
called us. And so we were asking people this is
this is a post COVID. We were asking if people
had certain symptoms like tonightis after the COVID vaccination.

Speaker 9 (01:12:44):
It was a news story. I remember this specifically. There
was a news story that came out that tonightas became
this huge post COVID symptom that people were experiencing a
lot of people had tonightis from COVID and even from
the COVID vaccine. So we were trying to do our own,
like Paul, our own our own survey about COVID and tonight.

Speaker 8 (01:13:05):
So when you heard me say drop the name, drop
the word tonight is into the Kathy call, Because if
you listen to that Kathy call, I was, I was, I.

Speaker 10 (01:13:13):
Kind of didn't know what was happening?

Speaker 9 (01:13:14):
It was like when you said that, you're like, what
is happening?

Speaker 8 (01:13:16):
So I made the reference to tonightas which takes us to Elaine,
who called the show uh the same year, And here
is that Elaine in York Line too Welcome to w BT,
thank you.

Speaker 15 (01:13:29):
Uh yeah, I have a bad case of tonight.

Speaker 8 (01:13:34):
Okay, So that's the second person who's called us who
has a bad nice issue.

Speaker 15 (01:13:39):
It's really, uh, more than you can even imagine how
bad it is because it well, you know, I've gone
down to of course, uh caffeine free coffee and uh,
you just got to really be you know, you can't
and so does you have to be careful? You know anything?

Speaker 8 (01:13:59):
You but Elaine, when did you first notice it? Was
it after you had COVID or after you had the vaccine?

Speaker 15 (01:14:06):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:14:06):
I never had COVID.

Speaker 8 (01:14:08):
Oh so so that okay, So you never had COVID,
but you had the vaccine.

Speaker 15 (01:14:14):
No, I didn't give me vaccine either.

Speaker 10 (01:14:16):
So wait, you just have tonight this period?

Speaker 20 (01:14:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:14:19):
Oh okay, all right, Well thanks for calling seven oh four, five,
seven eleven ten. I think that sort of skewed our
research in the wrong direction. But I didn't say, if
you have tonight it's called the show. But I guess that's.

Speaker 9 (01:14:33):
Well, maybe she had asymptomatic COVID and never ever knew.

Speaker 8 (01:14:40):
I'm sorry, I don't know who's on first base and
who's on second base.

Speaker 10 (01:14:43):
Here I'm calling him about my gouch for no apparent reason.
I have gout.

Speaker 9 (01:14:49):
I tried to find a way to make it about
what are your ailments?

Speaker 10 (01:14:53):
Yeah, calls with your ailment?

Speaker 8 (01:14:55):
So you had COVID. Nope, so you had the vaccine,
not either, you just have Tenightis I just kind of.

Speaker 10 (01:15:03):
Like shoot her up? Well, thanks for calling. That's kind
of so anyhow.

Speaker 9 (01:15:10):
Anyhow, that's what's so funny in all of these calls
when they start going south. I tried so hard just try.

Speaker 10 (01:15:16):
To shave it. Maybe she was undiagnosed, try so hard,
undiagnosed COVID shot somebody stuck at COVID showing her.

Speaker 9 (01:15:24):
I tried so hard to just make it, you know,
to try to make it all work. I want people
to feel good.

Speaker 8 (01:15:30):
We're trying to find the hook, we're trying to find
the connection, and then you just finally realize there isn't one.

Speaker 9 (01:15:35):
As Jim would say, well they can't all be winners.

Speaker 8 (01:15:38):
I have said that, Hey, they can't all be McK mulvaney.
And he's our next guest.

Speaker 10 (01:15:51):
That's for Laurie.

Speaker 8 (01:15:52):

Speaker 9 (01:16:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:16:03):
How long were you at the old phone number?

Speaker 8 (01:16:06):
Basically my whole existence?

Speaker 20 (01:16:08):
I listen to coming again, by the way, the first
time I get she has to listen on the new frequency.

Speaker 2 (01:16:11):
The old frequency sounds like I'm in your car right exactly. No,
it sounds like you're taller. Yeah, you sound taller.

Speaker 12 (01:16:18):
Yeah, So Pete Caleener says, really yeah, he says the
same thing, sounds.

Speaker 8 (01:16:22):
Taller, taller or muscular.

Speaker 2 (01:16:23):
You you remember when you remember when it was WBTFM,
don't you?

Speaker 11 (01:16:26):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:16:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (01:16:27):
In fat were kids.

Speaker 8 (01:16:30):
I found something over the weekend that I could play
here if I can find it?

Speaker 10 (01:16:34):
What did I do with it? How about this right here?

Speaker 8 (01:16:38):
I was I was going through old things and I
did not even know that this existed. And I'm sort
of talking through this as I pull it up on
my machine.

Speaker 10 (01:16:45):
There it is, and go here we go. You like
this Michael Vaney.

Speaker 8 (01:16:54):
Wow, check this out an FM WBT jingle.

Speaker 2 (01:17:06):
Seventy nine eight was it?

Speaker 8 (01:17:07):
No, No, no, no, no, seventy nine eighty was WBCY. This
was back when when we made the announcement a few
weeks ago, I said there was a time when BT played.
BTFM played beautiful music.

Speaker 10 (01:17:17):
As I say, yeah, that's what that's from. If if
you're going.

Speaker 20 (01:17:21):
BCY, I remember because they had John Boy and Billy
early early early.

Speaker 9 (01:17:25):
Days of John Boy and Billy.

Speaker 8 (01:17:26):
Yeah, John Boy and Billy were here for a little bit,
and then of course went Crosstown to ninety nine point seven.
But John Boy and Billy this is You're exactly right.
This is the first place they did their show together
when it was BCY for a few years, and then
and then they moved on and they had like Randy
and Spiff, and they had this guy named Rob Early
and a number of other people. But you're thinking of

(01:17:47):
the days of WBCY, like when I listened as a kid,
when we had stuff like this.

Speaker 1 (01:17:52):
All hid one o eight WBCY, continuous hitting music.

Speaker 2 (01:17:57):
For the So I've got someplace at my house.

Speaker 20 (01:18:01):
I've got a poster from Memorial Day Weekend nineteen eighty
one and WBCY played the Beatles A to z all
weekend and for some reason, I have that poster at
my house.

Speaker 2 (01:18:13):
So nineteen eighty one it was BCY.

Speaker 8 (01:18:15):
Well, it's good that you mentioned this, because since you're
in studio and you're here for a little longer than normal,
we're gonna have to end the year with a little
in a little Monday morning mulvany music for God.

Speaker 2 (01:18:26):
It was working on this morning. Wait, as I was
clogging my toilet, So really, there you go? Where you inspired?
Oh my gosh, that's oh wow, boom, there you go.

Speaker 10 (01:18:37):
Hold on here, let's say mag from Belmont.

Speaker 11 (01:18:46):
There you go.

Speaker 8 (01:18:47):
You're the one regular guest that comes in here, and
just you know what, you always bring something that was
barred from earlier in the show.

Speaker 20 (01:18:55):
Really makes sense if you've been listening all morning, that's
why you have to listen all morning.

Speaker 10 (01:18:59):
And you two married. Way the hell up?

Speaker 2 (01:19:01):
Yeah? I did, that's right, But I get home now
she'll be gone because of that long.

Speaker 1 (01:19:07):
Well.

Speaker 8 (01:19:08):
Well, well, welcome to one oh seven point nine. First
time we've had you in studios.

Speaker 2 (01:19:13):
What have we really been doing this? Have you been
here four years?

Speaker 20 (01:19:15):
I see, he said, looking at Beth using Theater of
the Mind for you. Goodness, I'm doing at five because
you and I started without her.

Speaker 8 (01:19:21):
So yeah, and I said, I can't handle this guy
by myself.

Speaker 2 (01:19:24):
Yeah, And it brought me into Have I been here
longer than Bernie? Was Bernie here when I got here?

Speaker 8 (01:19:28):
No, Bernie came when Beth came. So you've been here
longer than bernieci And then you used to come on,
you know, in spot places with me before you came in.

Speaker 2 (01:19:36):
Like regular visis. Remember that, So I thought you were taller.

Speaker 8 (01:19:39):
Yeah, now burst your bubble on that one. Well, I'm
glad we have you in the room here. We'll get
to the mill or not.

Speaker 2 (01:19:45):
I could tell the look on your face.

Speaker 10 (01:19:47):
Why early, No, No, you're one of my favorite guests.

Speaker 2 (01:19:50):
Now, this is the end of the year Christmas special.
This is going to be good. Yeah, and for theater goodness, gracious,
what are they doing you? Holy cow? That's not Steve Man.

Speaker 10 (01:20:04):
And now I'm never gonna look at George the same.

Speaker 9 (01:20:08):
George Hayes let us in for Sir Stephen of Anthony
this morning. And George just slightly slightly older. George, You're
just slightly older than Steve right.

Speaker 12 (01:20:18):
Although George looks great.

Speaker 2 (01:20:19):
For you, really do it looks like Santa?

Speaker 10 (01:20:21):
He does look funny.

Speaker 8 (01:20:23):
Uh factoid here from the show. I've been working with
George for a long time. I found out last week
from George that I've been saying his last name wrong.

Speaker 9 (01:20:32):
Yeah, he corrected. So you were gone last Monday, Bo,
was you remember a conversation? Yes, we assumed that Bo
was in Key West with you. But finally I guess
I was hosting the show alone, and George got on
the microphone to correct me. We had all been saying
his name wrong all of the years that we've worked
with him.

Speaker 2 (01:20:50):
So as we transitioned to politics, I learned that story
about Dick Cheney.

Speaker 20 (01:20:55):
Really it is not how you pronounced his last name.
The family pronounces it cheeney. That at the inauguration in
two thousand and I guess it was two thousand.

Speaker 8 (01:21:03):
Suddenly I don't feel so bad about that, George, or
maybe I should feel doubly bad because I've been saying
Dick Cheney's name wrong.

Speaker 20 (01:21:11):
Well, we all have He's And he got up on
stage and said, look at the Cheney family really appreciates that.

Speaker 11 (01:21:15):
I know.

Speaker 20 (01:21:15):
I just said that you people will look at me
like I'm mispronouncing my last name. You've all been mispronouncing
him forever.

Speaker 2 (01:21:20):
We just gave up. So but it is Cheenie, not Cheney.

Speaker 9 (01:21:23):
Dick Cheney sounds like a medical problem. It doesn't sound
as good.

Speaker 2 (01:21:32):
Where's Cohen when you need him?

Speaker 11 (01:21:34):
Right?

Speaker 9 (01:21:35):
Well, this really went off the rails.

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
Well, we're never get into politics.

Speaker 9 (01:21:40):
Well we kind of were. We were talking former vice president.

Speaker 8 (01:21:43):
So maybe we'll start when we come back from the
news with a Friday night because President Trump made a
campaign style stop in Rocky Mount, North Carolina.

Speaker 2 (01:21:52):
Well, I'll do whatever you like.

Speaker 20 (01:21:53):
I'd like to talk about the speech last week too,
because that was Oh yeah, that one's got my pulling
my hair out.

Speaker 8 (01:21:57):
We have, I mean, we got to get to uh,
you know, the stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
We got everything.

Speaker 8 (01:22:02):
I've got a list a mile long, so let's get
to it in just a moment.

Speaker 2 (01:22:05):
Do have music trivia? Really good seasonal music trivia? As
do I? Oh?

Speaker 10 (01:22:09):
Really, we might have to have dueling music trivia?

Speaker 1 (01:22:12):
Good?

Speaker 10 (01:22:12):
All right, that's what happens when you get here this early.

Speaker 9 (01:22:15):
Ahi, guys that ever did the nutcracker?

Speaker 10 (01:22:22):
Sadly she's not joking.

Speaker 2 (01:22:24):
That also sounds like a medical.

Speaker 19 (01:22:25):
Kid, it does.

Speaker 2 (01:22:26):
It does all right.

Speaker 9 (01:22:34):
To look for Sunday to be there, honey, is something special?

Speaker 8 (01:22:42):
Choice, Yes, yeah, special. He's in studio.

Speaker 20 (01:22:48):
See when you were gone, Beth, and Beth was by herself.
By the way, I think we had enjoyed it.

Speaker 1 (01:22:53):
But chat we had two weeks ago.

Speaker 9 (01:22:55):
It was this past Monday, Monday, a week ago. It
was a delightful conversation.

Speaker 2 (01:23:00):
I thought last Monday was in Key West.

Speaker 9 (01:23:02):
You were you called from Key West?

Speaker 8 (01:23:03):
It was just you.

Speaker 2 (01:23:04):
Yeah, you said it a lot like bo Well I am.

Speaker 8 (01:23:07):
People do say way, perhaps perhaps I should leave.

Speaker 2 (01:23:12):
I do both.

Speaker 9 (01:23:12):
I just threw out my voice.

Speaker 20 (01:23:14):
She played the introduction to the song, which is the
guitar solo that you're supposed to play.

Speaker 2 (01:23:18):
For the thank you you're supposed to There you go.
That's the way it goes.

Speaker 20 (01:23:23):
Remember whoever Rush did the Ohio song by the Pretenders,
He didn't play the lyrics.

Speaker 2 (01:23:28):
He just played the music.

Speaker 10 (01:23:30):
There are a lot of people that think there aren't
lyrics to that song. That's right, because they never heard them.

Speaker 16 (01:23:34):
You know, there you go.

Speaker 2 (01:23:37):
Oh yeah, it's a really good song.

Speaker 1 (01:23:39):
Yeah yeah, bass.

Speaker 8 (01:23:41):
But it's always funny when when this song plays for
somebody who who doesn't know it outside of the Rush
Limblaw show. They got kids included in that list, for
anybody who worked in this business. And that was a
long time board up. This is twelve oh six, Yeah,
twelve o six, I'm so and so w news. This
kicks in slaves and it's like information conversationalists across.

Speaker 2 (01:24:06):
The floated plant, you know, but no lyrics.

Speaker 8 (01:24:08):
In fact, it was just you wait, Nick mulvanny, here
we go.

Speaker 1 (01:24:11):
Wow.

Speaker 20 (01:24:14):
So he told a story about it that you know,
it's an anti development song. It's about the ills of
urban sprawl and stuff like that. And he was always
worried that, you know, she's she's fairly left and I
think the story goes they didn't have full permission or
something like that. And at some point when it got
to be started to get famous, he reached out to
her to Chrissy Hine for the Pretenders, and she said,

(01:24:36):
I absolutely be happy that you use it because my
mother listens to your show.

Speaker 16 (01:24:39):
All the time.

Speaker 1 (01:24:42):
Reduced.

Speaker 10 (01:24:49):
Now there you go.

Speaker 8 (01:24:50):
The song the old Rush limball The song is called
my City was gone by the Pretenders. But again, if you,
if you, if you worked in radio and heard that show.
He used that for years and years and years, and
it's always like I would listen, Like the Fox ninety
nine point seven used to play that song every once
in a while, and you'd be riding along and I'm
so used to him coming on at that certain part

(01:25:11):
of that. There's a little edit that they made in
the song.

Speaker 2 (01:25:13):
And then when he's a skimmert that's right, there's a
skip where they cut out the lyrics.

Speaker 9 (01:25:16):
So I think we're burying the lead here, though. Is
that that Mick basically had just admitted that he enjoys
when it's just the two of us.

Speaker 8 (01:25:24):
Look, I'm impatient, Like this is a lot of build
to get to the crux of the song. So I
sort of get us there.

Speaker 2 (01:25:31):
But that's the whole idea.

Speaker 20 (01:25:31):
It's just to sort of back she rockets out of town,
all right, thanks listen. It's John Belushi's voice. It's a
great voice, don't get me wrong. So when you grew
up like I did, I was a rush baby, by
the way, I meant, you know, and I would tell this.

Speaker 2 (01:25:44):
I talked to him. I've actually met him. I play
golf him a couple of times.

Speaker 20 (01:25:47):
But back when I was at OMB was the first
time I really talked to him that his office reached out.
It was the summer of twenty seventeen. It was my
fiftieth birthday, and by pure coincidence, and they called said, look,
Rush wants to interview for the for the for the
magazine The Limbaugh Letter. I'm like, yeah, I will be
happy to talk to Rush Limball and I'm the featured
interview for that.

Speaker 2 (01:26:07):
And I was able to tell him that I used
to listen to him. My dad called me.

Speaker 20 (01:26:11):
I was a freshman or sophomore at Georgian Universy, so
eighty five eighty six, eighty seven is when he first
started branching out of I think he was in New
York or DC or something. I think it was in
New York and DC had just picked him up. You
guys had just picked him from Charlotte.

Speaker 2 (01:26:23):
My dad was listening.

Speaker 20 (01:26:24):
He said, look, you got to call you got to
listen to this guy. Find him on DC radio. And
I listened to him every day at work as I
worked student security for three or four years. So I
grew up listening to the very very early days of
Rush Limbaugh. And I told him that story when I
did the interview, and he was just can I can
I do you? What can I do for you? For
you for your birth I need to do something special
for your for your fiftieth birthday, And he sent a

(01:26:46):
signed copy of the magazine to my dad on which
was because my fiftieth birthday was also my dad's seventy fifth,
So for my dad's seventy fifth birthday, he got a
signed copy of the magazine by Rush Limball, which reminds
me of the presence that you guys got last week,
which my wife said was just the best show of
the year when Zochi brought in your Christmas presents and said,

(01:27:06):
for in a rare development, you were to lock, you
were to loss for words. I was when he gave
me the Casey case, which is not necessarily.

Speaker 2 (01:27:13):
A bad thing, right right, right, exactly.

Speaker 10 (01:27:15):
Well, let me go back to what I said a
few minutes ago. I can leave, guys, I can I
can do this.

Speaker 8 (01:27:20):
I was going to take the day off anyway, and
then you know, have you you know what Rush Limbaugh's DJ.

Speaker 2 (01:27:27):
Name was, right?

Speaker 13 (01:27:28):
No?

Speaker 10 (01:27:29):
You ever heard of Jeff Christie?

Speaker 2 (01:27:30):
No, I do not know that. I know he used
to do sport of football games.

Speaker 10 (01:27:33):
But I excellency, look he's for continues with much more
wix sed thirteen sixties, Solid Rock and Gold.

Speaker 19 (01:28:00):
Nineteen sixty seven, Hello, goodbye.

Speaker 2 (01:28:02):
At seven oh three in the.

Speaker 18 (01:28:03):
Morning, I which the Solid Rock and Gold at the
Matchelor Jeff Radio Network from thirteen sixty Solid Rock and
Gold and for the morning rush hours, sunny and cold today,
Radar says a near zero percent chances of precipitation. The
streets right now are very good shape. The saw cruise
did a good job. They were out early, but really
they didn't even need to be out last night. It
didn't snow that much and the traffic kind of goosed
it all off of the road gang and the streets

(01:28:25):
are in very good shape.

Speaker 2 (01:28:26):
You may have some trouble on the back woods roads today.
I'm the sticks and the moondocks.

Speaker 18 (01:28:30):
So once you hit the main thoroughfares, no problem.

Speaker 8 (01:28:33):
I champed.

Speaker 2 (01:28:34):
I made no freezing thirty one degrees.

Speaker 16 (01:28:36):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:28:36):
I want to have a big hand for and missus.

Speaker 18 (01:28:38):
Arnold Puluski a couple of new members to the Christie
Radio Network this morning celebrating their twenty fifth refrigerator.

Speaker 2 (01:28:44):
Favor doing the morning talk Jeff Christie Was he doing tire?
He sess he did music? What year was that?

Speaker 8 (01:28:49):
I was nineteen seventy one, So Jeff Christie who went
on to that was his radio name. And then Rush Limbaugh.
You could still hear his accent, by the way, Oh yeah,
a little bit of an accent.

Speaker 2 (01:29:00):
Yeah, so there you go. Well, look at this thought.

Speaker 20 (01:29:02):
We're not going to do politics there eventually will No, Well,
the real hour doesn't start until nine o'clock, so we
just get to goof off until then and then we
do the ordinary hour. What are we telling new listeners,
people who are coming in here for the first time,
what is this.

Speaker 2 (01:29:16):
Program that we do together?

Speaker 8 (01:29:17):
You know, it's interesting that you say that, because before
you were a gut here our first hour this morning,
I was actually explaining why we love having Mick mulvaney
on the show, liar, And what did I say?

Speaker 9 (01:29:28):
We really did. We talked about the fact that you
how often do you get to have guests on your
show to talk politics, but talk politics in a way
that is different because you had you were five feet
from President Trump when you worked as the chief of staff,
but you also were the O and B director. You
also are a South Carolina congressman. All of those things

(01:29:50):
give you a different perspective from a lot of the
quote unquote talking.

Speaker 2 (01:29:53):
Oh, I've got some perspective, Baby's no question about that.

Speaker 8 (01:29:56):
We know this becausetive. You tell us stories, and and look,
anybody can have a political pundit in. I mean, there
are a dime a dozen, but there are very few
people that have the the anecdotal experience within the stories
to to to sort of make sense of Donald J.
Trump and and and it's not just Trump, but it's
a lot of Trump because you were his chief of staff.

(01:30:17):
So I was saying earlier, we like guests like this.
We like people who can actually cut through the clutter
and actually get to some stories you haven't heard before.

Speaker 2 (01:30:25):
My wife loves Who's the Who's the tech lady who
comes in and does cybersecurity? Yeah, my wife loves that
that segment.

Speaker 8 (01:30:32):
So yeah, see, I mean this is like, this is
like the greatest hits. The last several days, we had
Teresa here, we have Sean O'Connell on Friday and.

Speaker 2 (01:30:39):
Coming in, who the mayor?

Speaker 10 (01:30:41):
I said, Sean O'Connell, I'm me at.

Speaker 2 (01:30:42):
The other guy.

Speaker 8 (01:30:43):
He was on the show Friday, was he really Yeah,
he was talking about the passing of Jim Hunt.

Speaker 2 (01:30:47):
Yes, did he mention that he was governor? Yes, okay,
and and and we always chair over there.

Speaker 9 (01:30:54):
That was. And just for your wife, Pam, we have
confirmed now because it's it's that you just mentioned Teresa Payton,
because she literally just emailed us and said that the
thirtieth works. So we're going to have Teresa Payton in
studio for the end of the year.

Speaker 8 (01:31:07):
So a week from tomorrow we will have Teresa Payton
in studio. Mick is in studio today. That means will
next see him Arbor Day. Actually it's probably after Arbor Day, Yeah,
probably Easter.

Speaker 2 (01:31:19):
No, I just do I did the math.

Speaker 20 (01:31:20):
I was telling, Well, you stepped out during the break
at the bottom of the hour, tell I tell Bolle.

Speaker 2 (01:31:24):
Had to do my accounting for where I was this year.
Listen to this.

Speaker 20 (01:31:28):
Seventy two days in South Carolina, seventy eight days in
Key West, and two hundred and odd days on the road.

Speaker 9 (01:31:36):
Oh my god, for just twenty twenty five.

Speaker 8 (01:31:39):
So basically, staying at your actual home is like staying
in a hotel.

Speaker 2 (01:31:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (01:31:43):
Actually, there was a period of time where there was
a month I can't remember when it was where I
showered more in airport lounges than I did in a
hotel or my house.

Speaker 14 (01:31:52):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (01:31:53):
Wow, I didn't even know that that was a thing.
I've never showered at an airport.

Speaker 2 (01:31:56):
I do live in Airportland.

Speaker 10 (01:31:57):
Do I play this for that?

Speaker 9 (01:31:59):
It is a humble brad.

Speaker 1 (01:32:02):
That was a good morning bet humble breath.

Speaker 16 (01:32:05):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (01:32:06):
Is that your first one of those?

Speaker 2 (01:32:07):
You know when you do it for a living, it's
you're really not bragging about it.

Speaker 10 (01:32:12):
Wait, that's a bigger wow.

Speaker 1 (01:32:14):
That was a good morning, bet humble breath.

Speaker 2 (01:32:18):
Completely lost perspective.

Speaker 1 (01:32:19):
That one calls for something more.

Speaker 3 (01:32:22):
That was a good morning bt Chin enormous, nothing humble
about it.

Speaker 8 (01:32:32):
We were pulling out all the stuff.

Speaker 14 (01:32:33):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (01:32:34):
Yeah, is that we close out the year.

Speaker 10 (01:32:37):
It's also what happens when you get here an hour
and a half early.

Speaker 2 (01:32:39):
That's we'll get around of the ordinary show soon.

Speaker 9 (01:32:42):
We will politics coming up eventually.

Speaker 2 (01:32:46):
But we are doing music trivia. In fact that we're
doing three or just two. I hope she was joking
about these.

Speaker 12 (01:32:51):
In the break I actually concocted too.

Speaker 8 (01:32:54):
We have a whole hour now, Bernie's got one and
Steve I mean, George, Yeah, the first time you ever

(01:33:15):
did mulvany music trivia, you uh turned this one loose
on me. And I did not know that the backup
singer in this song to Don Henley is she wasn't
here you recognize it.

Speaker 9 (01:33:33):
I couldn't hear the backup singer. I wasn't listening for it.

Speaker 10 (01:33:36):
Hold on, I'm gonna have to roll it back where
you go in.

Speaker 9 (01:33:43):
Sounds like Sammy Hagar.

Speaker 2 (01:33:45):
Actually pretty good.

Speaker 25 (01:33:46):
Guess it's not, but you're never gonna not hear it
from now on. Robert plant axl Rose, Oh, that's even better.

Speaker 20 (01:33:57):
Yeah, ordinarily the right answer whose backup singing is Michael McDonald.

Speaker 2 (01:34:02):
That's just usually the best guess.

Speaker 9 (01:34:04):
Well, when I learned that Sheryl Crowe had been a
backup singer for Michael Jackson, that was one of those
moments that kind of blew my mind.

Speaker 20 (01:34:10):
I'm very excited about this whole switch over to FM,
because you know, I started running out of gas on
music Trivia, and now I get to ask the same
things again and again because we have a whole new
audience and see how much Bull remembers.

Speaker 9 (01:34:21):
I was about to say, I'm sure I've forgotten most.

Speaker 10 (01:34:23):
Of it, yeah, which is to say nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:34:25):
All right.

Speaker 8 (01:34:25):
So I do remember midway through last week, President Trump
did a speech from the diplomatic reception room, not the
Oval Office. It was the diplomatic I had to ask
you during the break that room. How often does he
speak from that room?

Speaker 2 (01:34:40):
Pretty regularly. It is where we receive people. And he
gave that's right.

Speaker 20 (01:34:45):
I think he gave the January seventh speech from there,
and he I think he did one other speech. When
I was Chief of staff, we did do an Oval
office address, which is him sitting behind the desk. We
did that during the government shutdown in twenty nineteen.

Speaker 2 (01:35:00):
That's not where this was.

Speaker 10 (01:35:01):
So this last week, some of it was this and hey,
you kids, get out.

Speaker 2 (01:35:07):
Of my your heart.

Speaker 11 (01:35:08):
One year ago, our country was dead. We were absolutely dead.
Our country was ready to fail, totally failed. Now with
the hottest country anywhere in the world, and that's said
by every single leader that I've spoken to over the
last five months.

Speaker 2 (01:35:25):
Next year, you will also see.

Speaker 11 (01:35:27):
The results of the largest tax cuts in American history
that were really accomplished through our great, big, beautiful bill,
perhaps the most sweeping legislation ever passed in Congress, we
wrapped twelve different bills up into one beautiful bill that
includes no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and

(01:35:48):
no tax on Social Security for our great seniors. Under
these cuts, many families will be saving between eleven thousand
and twenty thousand dollars a year, and next spring is
projected to be the largest tax refund season of all
time because of tariffs. Along with the just pasted one

(01:36:09):
big beautiful bill tonight, I am also proud to announce
that more than one thousand, four hundred fifty thousand, think
of this, one million, four hundred and fifty thousand military
service members will receive a special we call Warrior Dividend
before Christmas, so Warriot Dividend in honor of our nations

(01:36:33):
founding in seventeen seventy six.

Speaker 8 (01:36:35):
President Trump last Wednesday night, and we talked to you.
Got your immediate thoughts after it was over. But you know,
there was some talk going into this that he was
going to declare war on Venezuela. That's what Tucker Carlson
was pushing out there that ended up not being true. Really,
it was nothing. It was it was a speech where
he started sort of kind of started like this, and

(01:36:57):
then it kind of escalated in.

Speaker 2 (01:36:58):
The rallies, shouting.

Speaker 20 (01:36:59):
They took a forty five minute rally speech and packed
it in nineteen minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:37:03):
I was at the same boat. I thought that it
was going to be These are serious speeches.

Speaker 20 (01:37:06):
When you ask for a national address, keep in mind
what happens is that the White House has to call
the networks and say, look, we have a national a
dress tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:37:15):
We need time, and they get it for free.

Speaker 20 (01:37:17):
And there's a negotiation between the White House and the
big three networks as to whether or not how much
time they'll get. And this was the season finale of
Survivors in our CBS, and so I think they agreed
to give them fifteen minutes. But there's an actual negotiation.
It's not like the president of a wave of magic
wand and so you have to put me on TV.

(01:37:37):
We do it for serious things. I did one of
these when I was Chief of Staff, and we did
it for explaining to the country why we were still
having a government shutdown in twenty nineteen. Okay, so it
was not a political speech. Obviously there's politics involved with it.
And then the President did another one. I think after
I had left on January seventh, when he addressed the
nation after that these are serious things.

Speaker 2 (01:37:59):
Is real gravity to these national addresses.

Speaker 20 (01:38:01):
So for somebody, for commentators to go, well, I think
it could be explaining, you know, why we're going to
war in Venezuela.

Speaker 2 (01:38:06):
That's exactly where I was.

Speaker 20 (01:38:07):
Plus, we'd had news reports and news nation some reporting
from our folks on the ground that Mark Rubio had
been there all day and was waiting for the president. Okay,
this is a foreign policy speech. God to eve Venezuela.
And they gave a rally speech for nineteen minutes, and
I thought it felt really, really flat. I was sitting
at watching with a group of my Republican friends in DC.
I mean, you're not going to get more hardcore than
these folks. And somebody turned to me in the middle

(01:38:29):
of it, he goes, why is he yelling at me?
And that's what it was. It was the old man
standing on his front patio yelling at the kids to
get out of his yard for nineteen minutes. And it
just was not an effective speech. It was not It
was not up to the up to the moment of.

Speaker 2 (01:38:42):
A nationwide address.

Speaker 20 (01:38:44):
The thing about the only, the only thing we learned
was the Warrior dividend, which was in the bill anyway,
That's been in the One Big Beautiful Bill. It's actually
a supplemental housing allowance, a military housing allowance. They were
going to get some extra payments as part of the
One Big Beautiful Bill anyway, and they just changed the
marketing of.

Speaker 2 (01:39:00):
It, which is fine. So why did he do it?

Speaker 9 (01:39:02):
And why did he say that that was that no
one knew about that Warrior dividend thirty minus.

Speaker 20 (01:39:06):
Because he speaks ninety percent of what you just played
was hyperbole the greatest. It's everything is the greatest. With Trump,
you just have to understand that's how he works. But
when I say why did he do it? I mean
why did he do it?

Speaker 10 (01:39:16):
In general?

Speaker 20 (01:39:16):
Okay, And that's that's a different question. And so I
think this is and I've had this conversation with him
many times in the past. Whenever we're not we were,
whenever the polling was not where we wanted to do,
Whenever the narrative was not where we wanted it to be,
whenever we were losing the media battle that week or something,
he would complain that nobody was out selling his stuff,
where my people got to get my people out there.

Speaker 2 (01:39:37):
No one's no one's, no one's.

Speaker 20 (01:39:38):
Selling and he believes and he's right, He's absolutely right
about this that the best salesman for Donald Trump is
Donald Trump. You can farm some of it out to
a cabinet secretary, Christi Noome does a great job, Sean
Duffy can do a great job. Hag Seth can do
a decent job sometimes, but the best salesman of Donald
Trump's stuff is Donald Trump. So he's under the theory,
if you want something done right, you have to do

(01:39:58):
it yourself. That's why he gave the speech. He's like,
no one is telling everybody how good they've got it
with me as president, so I'm going to go tell
them and I will convince them.

Speaker 2 (01:40:06):
And that's what this speech was about. And I think
it fell completely flat.

Speaker 9 (01:40:09):
Do you think that means that he feels like his
backup is up against a wall with some of the
other things going on, that he felt like he needed
to get out and sell something.

Speaker 20 (01:40:17):
I'm not sure about that as much as that the
approval ratings are down and they know it, even Fox
News last week, in fact, it was was on News
Nation one night.

Speaker 2 (01:40:26):
I think it was last week.

Speaker 20 (01:40:27):
And when we're on the on the studio doing the program,
you can they show the other networks on the wall
behind us.

Speaker 2 (01:40:33):
We can see it.

Speaker 20 (01:40:33):
You can't, they're on the volume up, but we can
see what they're doing. And Brett Bhaer was talking about
an approval of a poll out that an approval rating
of the president of like thirty six percent. When Fox
is doing that, that gets to him, and so he
was out trying to change the narrative.

Speaker 8 (01:40:48):
So he's in his room and his residence in the
White House.

Speaker 10 (01:40:52):
How many monitors does he have?

Speaker 20 (01:40:54):
Well, the TVs there are on what we call a
quad system. The answer is one, but it's cut into
four different pieces. So he'll watch CNN, CNN, MSNBC, Fox
and Fox Business almost continuously.

Speaker 2 (01:41:06):
And when he's not watching he will TiVo it. He
loves TiVo.

Speaker 20 (01:41:09):
He doesn't listen to all four of those. You can
toggle through the audio and so forth, listen to one
at a time. But there's four on pretty much twenty
four urts.

Speaker 8 (01:41:15):
But he can see the screen of each. And you
know how these programs work. They have at the bottom
of the screen on the chiron we call it. What
they're talking about so he sees one that catches his attention,
then he can he can, and the.

Speaker 20 (01:41:26):
Iron, says President Approver Ring drops a historic low that
is going to get his attention.

Speaker 2 (01:41:30):
So that's what it was. It's him tried to turn
turn the ship around, essentially, is what it comes down to.
And he's usually really, really good at it.

Speaker 20 (01:41:38):
But I'm just not sure why they chose a national
address to do it, because keep in mind, why are.

Speaker 2 (01:41:44):
Those things so special? You get a new audience for that.

Speaker 20 (01:41:48):
Okay, people will watch a national address expecting something of gravity.
That won't go to a rally or won't watch you know,
cable news at night. The audience you know, I think
for our national address was I know, fifty million people.
It was a big, big, big numbers. It's not Super
Bowl numbers, but it's it's up there, right. And when
you get those new people in, I've always thought you

(01:42:08):
want to sort of speak to them, and he didn't
speak to them. He spoke to the bass. And the
bass already loves him. If you love Donald Trump already,
you love that speech. You got to say, it's more
of the more of the greatest tints. It's like going
to see the Rolling Stones play a concert. You know
exactly what you're gonna get, and you got it. If
you were a swing vote or something like that, probably
didn't move you.

Speaker 8 (01:42:27):
We got another hour with Mick mulvaney here on Monday morning,
December twenty seconds.

Speaker 2 (01:42:30):
Stay with us from.

Speaker 3 (01:42:32):
One oh seven point ninem telling you BT Charlotte's FM
News Talk. This is Good Morning BT with Poe Thompson
and Bev Troutman.

Speaker 2 (01:42:50):
You nck mulvaney Canadian celebrate Christmas?

Speaker 10 (01:43:10):
What's that?

Speaker 2 (01:43:10):
The Canadians celebrate Christmas?

Speaker 26 (01:43:13):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (01:43:14):
Well, he's singing this song, so I guess so yeah,
singing my request that Brian Adams or McK mulvaney Michael see.

Speaker 2 (01:43:25):
Him this year. Have I told you that he's coming
to the food court at the mall. I'm gonna go
see him. Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:43:30):
He and Tiffany.

Speaker 8 (01:43:33):
Mcklvy, former White House Chief of Staff.

Speaker 2 (01:43:36):
I'm supposed to have to be serious. Now it's the
real now was the real hour right now?

Speaker 8 (01:43:39):
Was our South Carolina Congressman o MB director. See him
on News Nation Chess Club champion. You see him at
Bryan Adams concerts front row, yeah, backstage passes.

Speaker 1 (01:43:52):
Right.

Speaker 8 (01:43:53):
We have some mulvaney music trivia. We actually have it
coming from both sides here. You've got yours and I
have mine, Okay, coming up towards the end of the hour,
So I've been waiting to get to this. This was
Friday night in Rocky Mountain, North Carolina.

Speaker 11 (01:44:06):
Since my inauguration, we've created more than fifty three thousand
North Carolina jobs, including eight thousand North Carolina construction job.
More than one hundred and fifty thousand North Carolina residents
have been lifted.

Speaker 19 (01:44:22):
Off of food stamps. They're very happy about that.

Speaker 11 (01:44:26):
And after your horrible hurricane, which produced more water damage
than any hurricane in history, the Democrats let you down.
They really didn't remember. They wouldn't do anything. Remember, they
wouldn't go to your community, wouldn't do anything. You had
to wait till January twentieth, when I took office.

Speaker 19 (01:44:44):
That we really knocked the hell out of it. Remember
as soon as I took office.

Speaker 11 (01:44:50):
I got in on January twentieth that I first thing
I did was made North Carolina phone calls.

Speaker 19 (01:44:56):
And we did a hell of a job. At a
hell of a job. You'd still be sitting in the
mud if I didn't get elected.

Speaker 11 (01:45:03):
You would be people were sitting in the mud. But
I helped rebuild your state, and I didn't get any
help from the Democrats, not your governor, not your man
that's running, by the way for Senate.

Speaker 19 (01:45:13):
Against Michael Wattley, who's phenomenal. Michael Wattley is incredible.

Speaker 11 (01:45:19):
Your previous governor was a disaster. He's also a radical
left person. By the way, he's radical left.

Speaker 2 (01:45:25):
You don't want him.

Speaker 19 (01:45:26):
He doesn't represent you. You just and look at the crime.

Speaker 11 (01:45:29):
Look at what's going on with all the crime here,
the slitting throats and stuff.

Speaker 19 (01:45:33):
I didn't I never saw that with you. Now all
of a sudden, that's what we see. You got to
get Michael Wattley. It's going to be so important. He
was so great. Don't forget.

Speaker 11 (01:45:43):
I took Michael and I put him as the head
of the party because he did so great.

Speaker 19 (01:45:49):
We won the state all three times, and.

Speaker 8 (01:45:51):
It was like a rock Friday night in Rocky Mount.
The Trump you know, the stump style speech back at it.
And he's done another one of these within the last
couple of weeks. So not as many of those in
the second term, but maybe there's more to come, you know,
there needs to.

Speaker 20 (01:46:08):
Be two because I think he had won in Pennsylvania
a couple of weeks back, and they did this one
in North Carolina. So I think he's done two in December. Uh,
they're gonna need him to pick that up.

Speaker 2 (01:46:17):
They just are.

Speaker 20 (01:46:19):
If the Republicans are going to avoid a complete wipeout
in November, they need they need Trump to come.

Speaker 2 (01:46:24):
Out and get people active.

Speaker 20 (01:46:26):
Mike Watley knows that Michael's going to be a great candidate,
but he needs Trump to sort of rally his base
to make sure that those folks who only show up
for Donald Trump show up for Michael Watley. And that's
gonna be the case again and again across the country
governor's races, Senate races, congressional districts, and so forth. So
I'll be curious to see if he if he maintains that,
you know that two a month, that's not that's not enough.

(01:46:48):
He needs to go back out on the on the
campaign trail, like his like his political life counts on it,
because at a certain level he does. If they lose
the House, the Republicans lose the House, I mean he's
gonna get impeached.

Speaker 2 (01:46:57):
That that goes to that saying. But what I don't
think folks are focused is so is everybody else.

Speaker 20 (01:47:02):
Christy Nome is going to get impeached, Pete Heggsa is
going to get impeached. I mean, the Democrats are going
to go after all the cabinet secretaries. And that's a
different kettle of fish because it's it's that that that
multiplies the amount of time and energy and bandwidth that
has taken away from an administration, which is exactly why
you would do it. You impeachment is now going to
become an ordinary part of the business in Washington, DC

(01:47:25):
because it's a wonderful delay tactic.

Speaker 2 (01:47:27):
But think it through.

Speaker 20 (01:47:28):
Democrats win the House, they threaten all these impeachments. Do
you really want to stick around if you're Christy Nome
or Pete Hegseth or anybody else, or do you quit
say I've got my two years in let somebody else
because they can't impeach me after I'm gone, And so
you get this massive turnover in the administration. It's all
sorts of bad things will happen to the Republican Party
if the Democrats take the House and the president is

(01:47:50):
a big part of making sure that doesn't happen.

Speaker 9 (01:47:53):
Speaking of people not wanting to stick around, what do
you having served in Congress, what do you make of
the large number of people who are not coming back
to run, or maybe are choosing to run within their
own states rather than running for national office. Elise Stephonic
is the most recent to now say I'm not running.

(01:48:13):
I'm not even running for governor.

Speaker 20 (01:48:15):
There's a lot of different answers to that, because there's
a lot of different people, and so what you see
is there's a group of people who.

Speaker 2 (01:48:21):
Have The Republicans have.

Speaker 20 (01:48:23):
Term limits for chairmen of chairwomen of committees, and if
you're going to from being a chairman to being an
ordinary rank and file member, that is a huge demotion.
So a lot of times people will retire for that reason.
There's other people who've been there for a long time,
it's just time to go. There's other people who have
had grandchildren, for example. There's folks who agree to do
term limits. So there's a variety of answers to it.

(01:48:43):
Elise is very very interesting. Elise just got I mean,
she got kicked in the teeth when the President gave
the Mandani interview or the Joint Press conference in the
White House. They were counting on Elise Stephonic making a
competitive run for governor of New York, a state that's
very dificult Republicans to win anyway. But she's a great candidate,
but she needed to be able to run against Mamdannie,

(01:49:05):
a national socialist. Is that where the Democrat Party in
New York was really going because I think a lot
of people outside of New York are really really not
comfortable with that. And when the President had him and
sat down with him in the White House, that just
took the wind out of her sales. So I'm not
sure how she was going to run again in that environment. Plus,
a friend of the President had filed to run against

(01:49:26):
Stephanic in a Republican primary, and Stefanic, who had been
one of the greatest cheerleaders the president for the last
eight years, was counting on that endorsement out of the
box and didn't get it. And the President said he
liked them both, And of course, the day after she
announced she was stepping back, President in fact did endorse
the other person who's going to get killed. So yeah, look,

(01:49:46):
there's a bunch of different reasons. Very few of them
are good to keep in mind, retirements happened on both sides,
But in my mind it is impossible not to think
back to twenty ten when the Democrats were going through
some of the same waves of retirement as they.

Speaker 2 (01:50:00):
As we moved into it ultimately became the Tea Party.

Speaker 8 (01:50:03):
Way nine one on WBT one O seven point nine.
Mick mulvaney in studio with us. He's with us every
Monday that he's able. Sometimes that's in the room. Sometimes
that's from Key West, sometimes that's from the other side
of the world.

Speaker 2 (01:50:20):
In excess, the devil inside?

Speaker 10 (01:50:24):
Where do you Shazam?

Speaker 27 (01:50:25):
Where did you pull Where did you pull that from?
What the heck is that it's not a Christmas tune?
Who said they had to be Christmas tunes? Was that
like a stipulation? I mean, if you want me to
go into the Christmas box, I'll do that.

Speaker 10 (01:50:40):
But I didn't know that was there were.

Speaker 2 (01:50:41):
The rules they played here back of the eighties at
the Grady Coal Center.

Speaker 9 (01:50:46):
I was a huge Inxcess fan in the eighties.

Speaker 2 (01:50:48):
I mean, I like that, Okay, I like that.

Speaker 20 (01:50:54):
Except Brian Adams as well. Is that his cover could
be could be you never know, He's got that kind
of talent doesn't also also features his great voice. You
see there he is right there.

Speaker 10 (01:51:08):
Hang on, you're you're gonna make me do something.

Speaker 8 (01:51:11):
You're gonna turn me against you here because you didn't
know there was.

Speaker 10 (01:51:14):
This out there.

Speaker 2 (01:51:16):
Either, did anybody else?

Speaker 8 (01:51:20):
Don't make me go deep cut Brian Adams, Christmas on
you are there any other kind?

Speaker 13 (01:51:24):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (01:51:26):
Wow on fire.

Speaker 10 (01:51:30):
I love it when he's in studio.

Speaker 9 (01:51:32):
It's so fantastic. You can't not be in studio.

Speaker 8 (01:51:35):
Where what are we talking about? Were trying to a
serious show a while ago? Well, I mentioned the body. Yeah,
the Friday of the Epstein files uh were released. Uh
and and there there's been lots of reaction with this
ever since because of the number of reactions in those files.
This is on a Meet the Press from Sunday morning.
This is Kristen Welker talking to the Deputy A. G.

(01:51:57):
Todd Blanche.

Speaker 28 (01:51:58):
Let's talk about the reaction which you raise the Epstein files.
Transparency Act prohibits redactions quote on the basis of embarrassment,
reputational harm, or political sensitivity. Has anything been redacted on
that basis?

Speaker 2 (01:52:13):
Absolutely positively not.

Speaker 26 (01:52:15):
And that's another trend that is just simply false. There
were a number of photographs that were pulled down after
being released on Friday. That's because a judge in New
York has ordered us to listen to any victim or
victim rights group if they have any concerns about the
material that we're putting up. And so when we hear concerns,

(01:52:36):
whether it's photographs of women that we do not believe
are victims or we didn't have information to show that
they were victims, but we learned that there are concerns,
of course we're taking that photograph down and we're going
to address it. If we need to redact on faces
or other information, we will, and then we'll put it
back up. So we are in every way, shape and form,
complying with the statute, which by the way, is what

(01:52:58):
President Trump has been asking us to do since before
he was elected. There is nothing that he has to
hide in the Epstein files. There never was, and even
though there's repeated attempts by Democrats to paint him as
being part of the Epstein saga, it's failing over and
over again. And so you should not be surprised that
the material that we released on Friday, or the material

(01:53:18):
that we're going to release over the next a couple
of weeks. Is exactly what the statute requires us to release,
which is everything that we have from this case, with
the exception of redacting personal information from victims and other statutes,
you know, privileges and things like that. Otherwise everything's getting produced.

Speaker 8 (01:53:38):
So I guess the first question for you is is
what we got on Friday? What you thought we'd get?

Speaker 2 (01:53:43):
Pretty much?

Speaker 20 (01:53:44):
Yeah, if you go back and you read the statute
they got passed, the law that got passed by Congress
signed by Trump said exactly what Tadja said there, which
is that there are exceptions for identity of victims and
for other things that might for example, give up other investigations.

Speaker 2 (01:53:59):
There's a law list of legal redactions.

Speaker 20 (01:54:02):
And I had not heard that clip before, but that's
exactly what I expected him to say, because I saw
some of the stuff that was read about the stuff
that was up and that was down, and I'm like, Okay, well,
if I had a picture of a victim in it,
then that was probably the right thing to do. Look,
here's the skip to the end. What's happening here. There's
a lot of embarrassing stuff in there. For a lot
of very famous people. I don't know if anybody's found

(01:54:24):
anything yet, and they you know, listen, there was several
hundred thousand documents dumped on Friday, and I think even
as many as that again over the weekend. So people
are going to go through this stuff with the fine
tooth comb. I'm not sure that the Buddy's found anything
that implicates anybody in criminal activity. You know, a picture
of a naked Bill Clinton in a hot tub, which
jaesay Maxwell is embarrassing, but it's not illegal. It's not

(01:54:47):
and it's certainly not criminal. So this is exactly what
I expected to happen. That being said, there are members
of Congress who believe that Pambondi is not following the law,
the administration is not following the law, and if they
can get the same coalition of people to do a
discharge petition on articles of impeachment for Pam Bondy, then

(01:55:08):
the House may take a vote on that. I wouldn't
support that, but I think they probably. That's where the
dynamic is going right now. There's so many redactions and
that people expected everything, and people don't know how freedom
information X stuff works, how disclosures go, how.

Speaker 2 (01:55:21):
Redactions get done, et cetera.

Speaker 20 (01:55:23):
And if you don't know and you're just trying to
make a political point out of it, then you're going
to be really, really really upset. Do I want everything
to come out of Actually? Yeah, but I don't want to.
There's no reason to show the victims' names or likenesses.

Speaker 9 (01:55:34):
Representative Rocanna and Representative Thomas Massey over the weekend posted
multiple times. I'll read one of the posts that they wrote.
This is from Rocanna, and Massey retweeted it. Rocanna wrote,
Representative Thomas Massey and I announced that we are bringing
inherent contempt against BONDI DOJ co workers, and they re

(01:55:57):
release the one hundred and nineteen page document now with
minimal redactions. Massey and I are different. We do not
just do memes or speeches. We take action to fight
a corrupt systemy.

Speaker 20 (01:56:10):
He's a serious person, Roe is, and so is Massy.
And of course now Massy and the President have obviously
had a huge falling out. And Roe is a Democrat
from California. But he's no dummy. He's a serious guy.
He's not nearly as prone to hyperbole as some folks.
If goes on TV, I'm interested to hear what he
has to say. If a King Jeffrey goes on TV,

(01:56:30):
I don't have to listen to what he says because
I know exactly what's gonna say. It's gonna be the
Democrat talking points and so forth. It's a you know,
he's just going through the motions. But Rose a serious person,
so I'd absolutely keep an eye on their take on this. Again,
I happen to disagree with him on this particular circumstance
because based upon what I've seen now, they know a
lot more about it because they have access that I
don't have anymore. But what I've seen is about what

(01:56:51):
I expected. I still just I think the end of
the day, it's not going away. It's not going away.
And that's a problem for for or the Trump administration
because it really is a distraction. There's not that many
people who are going to vote or not vote based
upon the Epstein files, but it could be enough to
make a difference in enough races to make a difference,

(01:57:11):
and that's going to be a problem for.

Speaker 1 (01:57:13):
Them until you pin me, George fest of Us is
not all this stuff, because.

Speaker 8 (01:57:23):
You know what occurred to me that tomorrow is the
first Festivus that we have ever done this show live
doing an airing of the grievances.

Speaker 2 (01:57:33):
I think we might have to because I got a
lot of problems with you people.

Speaker 10 (01:57:35):
Yeah, well, why don't you just get him out there
and right now?

Speaker 9 (01:57:38):
Won't be with us tomorrow?

Speaker 1 (01:57:39):
Go ahead, go ahead.

Speaker 10 (01:57:40):
That's the line from the show, isn't your chance?

Speaker 2 (01:57:42):
I got a lot of problems with you people, have
problems with tenseil.

Speaker 10 (01:57:47):
The floor is yours.

Speaker 2 (01:57:49):
No, no, no, you bring out the fest of his
poll will be fine. Look at him.

Speaker 8 (01:57:52):
His heart grew two sizes exactly.

Speaker 9 (01:57:55):
This is what we do to people. We turn them
into the anti gringe.

Speaker 10 (01:57:59):
Except for tomorrow.

Speaker 8 (01:58:00):
I think we're gonna We're gonna reserve an hour tomorrow
for the airing of Grievances because we can. Right, we've
never been We usually aren't on the air this week,
and we're on a few extra days this year. How
you do in one oh seven point nine.

Speaker 9 (01:58:10):
Yeah, we wanted to spend some time with you guys.

Speaker 8 (01:58:13):
Mick mulvaney is with us. He's with us every Monday
that he can, and some days he's out of the country,
so sometimes it doesn't work, but most days it does,
and he's either in studio, or he's at Key West,
the Southernmost Bureau, or he's overseas. But we always like
bicking his picking his brain about politics because I don't know.
He's been the White House Chief of Staff, he's been
the budget director, he's been a South Carolina congressman. He's

(01:58:35):
been all these things. And you see him these days
on News Nation and many other places. But we've been
talking to him for as long as we've been doing
this show, and so in the interest of getting it
through as many of these as we can, let's go
to this past weekend. This was the turning point conference.
This was Erica Kirk, who's the CEO of Charlie Kirk's
former organization now she's taken over. This is kind of

(01:58:58):
like a you know, this is their big convention for
the year and has had people like JD. Vance and
it had Erica Kirk of course speaking, you had Donald
Trump Junior. I thought it was interesting Erica Kirk had
one of the most talked about moments of the weekend.

Speaker 13 (01:59:12):
We're going to ensure that President Trump has Congress for
all four years. We are going to get my husband's
friend JD Vance elected for forty eight and the most
zounde went possible. And for our hometown Arizona, folks, are

(01:59:39):
you guys in the house Arizona?

Speaker 9 (01:59:43):
Go Biggs or go home?

Speaker 13 (01:59:44):
Is where we're at right now, Mensale.

Speaker 8 (01:59:46):
Okay, So jd Vance his name's getting bandied about a
lot lately. You know, you had people like Ran Paul
coming out this weekend saying, well, not so fast. Jd
Vance shouldn't be the anointed one. What are your thoughts
and what does that endorsement right there mean for jd Vance?

Speaker 20 (02:00:01):
A little better than not having it, for sure. I'd
be curious to see a year or two on how
effective Eric is. I don't know her, by the way,
and I didn't know Charlie at all. I talked to
him a couple of times.

Speaker 2 (02:00:12):
That was about it.

Speaker 20 (02:00:14):
How viable that organization remains. There's a lot of questions
in that, but it's better than not having it. But
it begs the question, which is where's Donald Trump going
to be? Because as popular as Erica Kirk may or
may not be a year from now, Donald Trump will
certainly be popular with the Republican primary voting base, which

(02:00:34):
is what counts. And anybody who thinks that, you know,
jd Vance has got a lock on his support. It
doesn't understand how Donald Trump or Washington works. So look,
it's great, it's wonderful. Jad's again, it's good news for him,
but it's not going to scare a single person out
of the race.

Speaker 1 (02:00:49):
Well.

Speaker 9 (02:00:49):
Donald Trump, of course never, never does not make headlines.
He pretty consistently controls the narrative and controls what's going
on as far as you know, making sure that he
has a new headline on the on the front page.
And one of the ones that really took that people
took notice of toward the end of last week. And
I wanted to get your take on this because you

(02:01:10):
worked in the White House, and because you are someone
who walked those halls. The portraits of the presidents in
the White House, all of the former presidents of the
United States, they have now put plaques underneath them, some
of which Caroline Levitt said, the President wrote himself.

Speaker 2 (02:01:27):
That oh no, we absolute wrote them himself.

Speaker 20 (02:01:29):
I can tell, I can tell for the verbicon one
yet what you want, Yeah, because if you actually go
look at the plaques, it's not just Trump language, it's
Trump capitalization and punctuation, which is fascinating to me to watch.

Speaker 9 (02:01:40):
So that's that's under which ones do you know for sure?
I I My guest was Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

Speaker 10 (02:01:46):
Wait do they have thank you for your attention to
this matter?

Speaker 2 (02:01:48):
At the bottom I'll give you.

Speaker 20 (02:01:50):
I'll give you a non political example, which is the
one for Ronald Reagan, which is very nice, but at
the last two sentence, it is Reagan was also a
huge fan of Trump, long before Trump was fain and
Trump also happened to be a big.

Speaker 2 (02:02:01):
Fan of Reagan. So who do you think put that on?
It wasn't Ronald Reagan, that's for darn shore.

Speaker 20 (02:02:06):
So yeah, look in the greater scheme of things, if
I'm the chief of staff and I didn't have to
deal with with this stuff like this, I draw a line.
There's in my mind, there's a division between what he
wants to put, you know, the gold trim in the
Oval office.

Speaker 2 (02:02:21):
Fine, it's his office. I don't care for it, but fine,
it's his.

Speaker 20 (02:02:23):
What difference does it make the pictures down down the
hallway there at the breezeway, at the at the at
the Rose Garden, is it petty?

Speaker 16 (02:02:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (02:02:33):
Does it demean the office. Yeah, but it's his office.
He can do what he wants to and that's fine.
I don't think anybody cares about that. Again, if you
love him, you love it. If you hate him, you
hate it. It's not going to change anybody. Putting his
name on the Kennedy Center, I think, is a different
that's a different place. That's a different world for me,
because that's outside of the building. It's a public building.

(02:02:54):
It's the memorial to John Kennedy.

Speaker 13 (02:02:57):
It is.

Speaker 20 (02:02:57):
People don't realize that it's there's a Washington Monument, the
Linkel Memorial, and the Kennedy Center.

Speaker 2 (02:03:01):
Those are the same things. The building itself is the
memorial to John Kennedy.

Speaker 20 (02:03:06):
The family had wanted an active arts thing because the
president was so committed to the arts. So this is
the same thing as Trump putting his name on the
Washington Monument, and I think that does rub a lot
of people the wrong way. Interesting, by the way, just
to show you a little vetting it went through, it's
now the Donald Trump and John F.

Speaker 2 (02:03:21):
Kennedy Memorial Center, Okay, which sounds like he his past.

Speaker 20 (02:03:25):
That's exactly right, which means that somebody didn't think through
exactly how they were going to word this. But you
go look at the sign on the outside of the building,
and that's exactly what it says that Donald J. Trump,
Donald Trump, himber's got his middle initiate or not and
John F. Kennedy Memorial.

Speaker 9 (02:03:37):
So there's a question about whether or not it's legal
for it.

Speaker 2 (02:03:39):
It's actually not legal.

Speaker 20 (02:03:40):
But who's going to stop him. It's it's that they
control the board now, and the board put the sign up.

Speaker 2 (02:03:46):
That's fine.

Speaker 20 (02:03:46):
It doesn't change the name legally of the institution. But
the only people who have jurisdiction to take down the
sign are the board that he controls, so that that's
It's just like it's sort of like the Department of War,
whether you agree or disagree that that's named by statute.
So you still see even the Wall Street Journal referred
to it as the Department of Defense because that is
the name in law. The administration can call it anything

(02:04:07):
that he want to, and that's fine, but it doesn't
change the name legally.

Speaker 2 (02:04:10):
The Kennedy Center is not.

Speaker 20 (02:04:13):
Legally named the Donald Trump think they do have a
sign on it right now because they control the physical space.

Speaker 9 (02:04:18):
Has that happened? Have other presidents done this where they've
just taken their name and put it.

Speaker 2 (02:04:22):
Well, it's funny.

Speaker 20 (02:04:23):
I said that William McKinley did it to Millard Fillmore,
but no one remembers that. No, I'm making that up
because I have no idea if they were anywhere close
together in time.

Speaker 8 (02:04:30):
So no real quick I'm sorry. Speaking of memorial this
is another story last week I want to get your
quick take on.

Speaker 10 (02:04:37):
And this got a lot of talk early in the week.

Speaker 8 (02:04:39):
Last week, Rob Reiner and his wife passed. Of course,
the terrible stabbing there and the suspect in the cases
is their son. Now President Trump. The next day comes
out in posts, and I'll read it in part just
so we remember this correctly. A very sad thing happened
last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling
but once very talented movie director in comedy star, has

(02:05:00):
passed away together with his wife Michelle, reportedly due to
the anger he calls others through his massive, unyielding and
incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as Trump
derangement syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known
to have driven people crazy by his raging obsession of
President Donald J.

Speaker 10 (02:05:19):
Trump, etc.

Speaker 12 (02:05:20):
Etc.

Speaker 10 (02:05:20):
You know how it goes. But your take on this, that's.

Speaker 20 (02:05:23):
Why he gave the national speech. The pushback to that
was so intense. Keep in mind, I'm interested. I'm not
interested places where Democrats disagree with Trump because they disagree
with him on whatever the weather is right. I'm curious
to see when Republicans start to break from Trump. That's
why we've talked about Epstein, and that's why, in my mind,
Epstein is interested. I don't care about pictures of Bill
Clinton effact. I'd rather not see the pictures. But I
am interested in where Republicans are willing to go against

(02:05:46):
the leader of their own party. This is the second
time I've seen it now. The Rob Ryder tweet got
such negative pushback, even from some Trump supporters, that I
think he needed to change the narrative.

Speaker 2 (02:05:57):
You asked me before, why did he give the speech?

Speaker 20 (02:05:58):
I talked about the low approval rate, and this was
the thing, the other thing that I think prompted this.
He wants to change the narrative. He's great at doing that,
manipulating the median arave and lots of times if he
makes a misstep. Instead of going back and trying to
clean that up, which he never does, he go off
and do something else against everybody else's attention. And I
think that that Rob Briner tweet was such a problem

(02:06:19):
they contributed to their decision to do the national address.

Speaker 9 (02:06:22):
I know that we're running out of time really quickly,
but I want to ask this question. Because of that
language against Rob Reiner that so many people, including Republicans,
had had a problem with, and then the language we
were just talking about the under the president's portraits in
the White House, how can can people in the Republican
Party make the argument that we need to tone down

(02:06:43):
the rhetoric if the leader is continuously kind of bullying
different people who disagree with him, how do we get
back to a place of decorum?

Speaker 20 (02:06:53):
And this my trumpetmpersonation for a second, And I don't
do the voice when I'm sober, so I can't do it,
but I can do the hand motions.

Speaker 2 (02:06:58):
Beth, That's that's interesting. Many times have you run for president?

Speaker 10 (02:07:01):
One?

Speaker 1 (02:07:01):
Zero?

Speaker 2 (02:07:01):
Okay, good, We're doing it my way.

Speaker 14 (02:07:03):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (02:07:04):
I've had that exact conversation, and it's not wrong.

Speaker 9 (02:07:06):
How do we do this?

Speaker 2 (02:07:07):
Has worked? For him.

Speaker 9 (02:07:08):
How do we move forward as a nation though? If
we like, what are we teaching our children? What are
we teaching about ourselves if we're not willing to.

Speaker 20 (02:07:16):
Those are questions that don't that that is a nonsensical
question to Donald Trump, that's not That's not what this
is about. He's this has worked for him, and he
believes it's good for the nation, and in many ways
it has been. So, I mean, he's the proof is
in the pudding. He will go to you and said, look,
that's great. Why don't you why don't you run on that.
I'll run on what I am and.

Speaker 2 (02:07:36):
We'll see who wins.

Speaker 9 (02:07:37):
Can I run on kindness?

Speaker 2 (02:07:38):
Can Tip Scott would be president? And Tip Scott is
not the president?

Speaker 20 (02:07:44):
That the voters don't want what you just pitched and
say they do, but they vote for the angriest person
in the room.

Speaker 2 (02:07:50):
Right, So that's not a Christmas both you're correct, sir.
It is not what's the next question? Christmas number ones?

Speaker 10 (02:08:22):
Actually the contest is over that.

Speaker 8 (02:08:27):
I had all these songs lined up and they were
the Christmas number ones, and I had I would not have.

Speaker 2 (02:08:33):
Gone straight there.

Speaker 20 (02:08:34):
If you did not play the Bill Nihi piece from
love actually whatever it was this morning on the But
that wasn't you weren't even here yet.

Speaker 1 (02:08:40):
I was listening.

Speaker 9 (02:08:43):
This is not fair.

Speaker 2 (02:08:44):
You're not playing by the rule. I thought you wanted
the people to listen to the program purpose. I want
everybody but you to listen to that segment. Well place
the rest of the Christmas number ones. I think that's
very interesting.

Speaker 8 (02:08:54):
Really, I'm curious to know I even had one on
here for you, because I mean, I know that you boys,
you're look at you today.

Speaker 10 (02:09:04):
I mean, that's that's uncanny right there.

Speaker 8 (02:09:08):
I gotta get to the partment. You actually hear the
pet Shot Boys. Here you go, pet Shot Boys covering
a Willie Nelson song.

Speaker 2 (02:09:18):
I forgot he wrote that song.

Speaker 9 (02:09:20):
Wow, I forgot that the pet Shot Boys covered it.

Speaker 8 (02:09:24):
Well, Nick mlvaney knows everything pet Shot Boy. So anyway,
what was else's on that list?

Speaker 9 (02:09:33):
Which is a viral trend right now? Gentlemen, it is, but.

Speaker 2 (02:09:36):
I'm so is herpes.

Speaker 9 (02:09:39):
It's a different kind of viral.

Speaker 8 (02:09:42):
Okay, forget my Maya trivia because that fell apart really
fast on me.

Speaker 2 (02:09:47):
Bernie rolled the one you have here.

Speaker 20 (02:09:49):
All right, here's here's the we've done this before. I think,
can you name the singers in order as they play
the song?

Speaker 2 (02:09:56):
It's Christmas time, there's no he comes back the hole
that because that's the hardest.

Speaker 10 (02:10:04):

about We.

Speaker 10 (02:10:49):

Speaker 20 (02:10:51):
We're really good at so we'll get this one. Whether
this is Sting singing back up? That's how unfamous they were,
that Bono. He comes here in a second, that Sting

there's when the chorus comes. Yeah, but who's the first guy?
It's the one that everybody always misses.

Speaker 8 (02:11:26):
You're right, And I think we did this before and
I've forgot he comes back again a second time.

Speaker 2 (02:11:30):
So one more chance. How famous was he really famous
at the time? And that's the key.

Speaker 20 (02:11:34):
He's not famous anymore anymore. By the way, the drummer
is Anyboddy. I know who it is, let's sing here
