Government Shutdowns, Masculinity, And Ballrooms :: Ep 80 Try That in a Small Town Podcast

Ever felt that slow-burn anxiety when the headlines say “shutdown,” but the real story is families missing checks and plans falling apart? We crack open why these standoffs happen, how add-ons and brinkmanship stall basic governance, and what it means when the fallout hits the people least able to absorb it. Then we do what we do best: veer into the messy middle where culture meets everyday life.

Cigar etiquette turns into a bigger conversation about consent in shared spaces. A simple question—what kind of man do most women prefer—pulls us into modern expectations around provision, safety, ambition, and partnership. We weigh “traditional masculinity” against two-income realities, swap stories about cooking and caregiving, and admit that making someone feel secure and respected still matters more than labels. We even argue over flip-flops, short shorts, and the quiet politics of what you wear.

We’re not afraid to pivot. We marvel at Shohei Ohtani, debate the value of a White House ballroom, and dream up our own additions that would actually host the world well. The gloves come back on for tougher topics: drug-running boats getting blown out of the water, cleaning up cities, and why some leaders say no to help when public safety is on the line. Through it all, we keep it honest—reading a listener’s sharp critique on-air and showing how strong opinions can coexist with real respect.

If you’re here for clear takes, human moments, and conversations that stretch from kitchen-table life to national stakes, you’re in the right place. Hit follow, share this with a friend who loves a good debate, and drop a review so we know what hit and what missed. Your comments shape the next round.

SPEAKER_09 (02:32):

When I walked in, Neil wassitting just like this.
He was sitting just like this,and then there was nothing said,
and then he went.

SPEAKER_07 (02:58):
Maybe we should start over.

SPEAKER_04 (03:02):
Maybe we should start over.
I know the weather debate.
I wish we could keep it.
I wish we could keep it.
I know.
It was too easy to get it.
Treat it like a trade.
It was right there, Jim.
We can leave it out there.

SPEAKER_07 (03:18):
We hadn't been rolling for 90 seconds.

SPEAKER_08 (03:20):
Bear's ass.
Start over.
It was good.
Yeah, no, keep it in the middle.

SPEAKER_10 (03:25):
Yeah, you can edit it out.
He's good.
So you do feel like a golfinjury.

SPEAKER_07 (03:31):
They say it doesn't get better after 60.
That's what they always say.

SPEAKER_04 (03:35):
Great.
Where'd you hear that from?
Where'd you read that?

SPEAKER_07 (03:37):
A lot of 60-year-olds and plus.

SPEAKER_04 (03:39):
That's true.

SPEAKER_05 (03:39):
It won't really ever heal.

SPEAKER_07 (03:40):
Like you're not going to feel better.
Like you're not when you get tobe 70, you're not going to say,
Man, I feel so much better thanwhen I was 60.
You're always progressivelyworse.

SPEAKER_09 (03:50):
That's not going to heal.

unknown (03:50):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 (03:51):
Well, so you got that to look forward to.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 (03:53):
Yeah, and that's good.
The good thing is around thehouse, you said you can't reach
for anything.
The good thing is you don't haveto because your lovely wife does
everything.
I know.
It's true.
So that's a blessing.

SPEAKER_10 (04:01):
I won't argue that.
It's going to go away.
It always does.
I've pinched nerves before.
It's good.
That's more than a pinchednerve.

SPEAKER_07 (04:08):
I think with your your physical regimen, I think
you'll work it out.

SPEAKER_10 (04:16):
Dig O'Neal today, isn't it?
It's going to be fun tonight.
Yeah, it was a little spicy.

SPEAKER_09 (04:21):
Before we get going, let's think uh seriously, let's
thank Patriot Mobile.

(04:41):
Where are we going to starttonight?
Anybody got something fun thatwe can start with?
Government shutdown.
What do we think about it?

SPEAKER_07 (04:48):
Yeah.
Well, how many days are we on?
That's in the 20s.
I feel really down about it.

SPEAKER_05 (04:55):
No, uh it's in the twenties, right?
It is affecting the planetravel, which is no good for me
right now.

SPEAKER_07 (05:00):
So yeah, it's it's definitely affecting things.

SPEAKER_09 (05:05):
Why do they do that?
Explain to me as they say, likeI'm five years old, what what's
going on with the government?
Why do they shut down?
What is what is what happens toit?
I'm seriously.
I'm too like I'm a dummy.
Do you know, Jeff?

SPEAKER_10 (05:20):
Jeff, you know?

SPEAKER_09 (05:21):
Can you explain it?
Well Jeff does not know.
Jeff doesn't know.
Jim, do you know?

SPEAKER_07 (05:26):
Well, yeah, it it's it's all about the the budget
and the fiscal year, all thatstuff, and so that it comes to
an end, so they have torenegotiate just like a
songwriting deal or whatever.
But the problem is it's justkeeping the government open.
The Democrats and Republicans,they'll have stuff tagged onto
that.
Yes, we will sign off on keepingit going and fund all government

(05:47):
employees if you give us this,this, this, and this.
You know, so and there's a lotof squirrely things that get
tagged on there.
Um and so it I from what Iunderstand, the Democrats seem
like that's a good point in timefor them to hang tough.
Yeah.
You know, and uh But they alwaysdo that.

SPEAKER_10 (06:06):
I mean, the government always says things on
camera that the majority ofAmerica it's not it goes
unexplained.
We're gonna shut down thegovernment and and that's it.

SPEAKER_05 (06:17):
That's all we hear.
Usually it but it doesn't happenusually.
Remember, it's that like we gotfour days till the government
shut down, and then at the lastminute out the deal.
It'll happen.

SPEAKER_07 (06:27):
But there there are definitely people, because
there's some people that are youknow, too to both of their
incomes, their family income isboth government.
You know, you have a servicemanand you're and um you know
somebody working for thegovernment and accounting or
whatever, well, they don't getchecks at all.
So, you know, and they got kidsand stuff.
So it's really it's affecting umand whatever it is, it's one of

(06:47):
the longer ones, right?

SPEAKER_09 (06:48):
Yeah.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 (06:49):
I don't know what the record is, but it's
definitely because now it'saffect affecting two pay
periods, like for if you're afamily, you're you're missing
two checks now.
They trump and then they tookit.

SPEAKER_10 (06:58):
They took care of the military.

SPEAKER_05 (06:59):
It always affects the people that need the money
the most on their own.
Like like usual.
I mean, it's just all thesepeople.

SPEAKER_09 (07:06):
You were saying that they took care of the military.
Did wasn't it like theanonymous?
Did you guys hear that?
That somebody donated ananonymous huge lump sum of
money.
Yeah, how much was it?
I don't know.
How much was it?

unknown (07:21):
I think it was 130.

SPEAKER_09 (07:22):
Yeah, it was a lot of money.

SPEAKER_07 (07:24):
Thanks, Jeff.

SPEAKER_09 (07:25):
See?
Jeff, you're pulling his weighthere.

SPEAKER_07 (07:27):
Um yeah, and it's even I mean, it's you know, it's
affecting the our podcast.
I mean, obviously.
I mean, I don't know if it hasanything to do with the
shutdown, but we're still notmaking any money.

SPEAKER_05 (07:38):
Let's blame it on the government shutdown.

SPEAKER_07 (07:40):
Maybe it is.
Maybe it is.
Maybe we need to write to ourcongressman and see if we can
get some income on this thing.

SPEAKER_05 (07:47):
That's it's it's really true.
Maybe that's why we haven't mademoney.
The government's been shut downfor almost two years.

SPEAKER_07 (07:52):
Yeah, or maybe we shake it up.
Maybe we start smoking cigars inhere.
Can we smoke cigars in here?
I don't think so.

SPEAKER_09 (07:57):
Are you guys cigar smokers?

SPEAKER_07 (07:59):
Yeah, no, I'm I'm occasional cigar smoker.
I I used to surprises me.
W a lot uh during golf, but thenI then I stopped doing it during
golf because there's so muchgoing on.
It's hard to keep it, you gottaremember to keep it lit, and oh,
there it is, somebody rolled offand they took off with it.

SPEAKER_09 (08:13):
So it's interesting that you're a cigar smoker.
We were at an event a coupleweeks ago.
Yeah.
And there's these people smokinga lot of cigars, and I thought
to myself, you know, the onlypeople that smoke cigars are
pretty.
Hmm, how do I say it?
How do you say it?
Yeah.

(08:34):
Usually people that don't careabout other people's feelings.
So you're lumping, wow, that'syeah, you're lumping all cigars.

SPEAKER_10 (08:43):
But I love I love the smell of it though.

SPEAKER_05 (08:45):
Uh I'll take it one step further.
I don't think they even like it.

SPEAKER_09 (08:50):
They might not be able to do it.
I think they're just attitudething.
They're snipping on thosesmells.

SPEAKER_05 (08:54):
Yeah, you got your little end snipper and you're
snipping it.
I don't think they do.
Redman, Redmond smokes cigars.
He actually might like it.
Yeah.
But I think most people don't.
I think they like snipping itoff the end, and then they're
what is it?
What is a cigar?
Do you do you do you justtobacco?
I bet Jim smoked it in.

(09:15):
Do you smoke it?

SPEAKER_07 (09:15):
No, you don't smoke it.
Some people do.
Wait a minute.
They don't breathe in too.
You don't breathe it in though.
You shouldn't.
You do breathe in a little bit.
What's the point?
You can't help from it.

SPEAKER_04 (09:22):
There's no taste in the city.

SPEAKER_07 (09:24):
You're still getting the nicotine.
You're still getting nicotinejust just from uh puffing on it.
You are getting that.
So knock it unless you try them.
So I have to do it.
Would you smoke a cigarette yousmoked a good cigar?
No, and no, and the no.
Finish your question.

SPEAKER_09 (09:38):
That was it.
Okay.
Because when you're in a publicsetting where it isn't a cigar
bar or by yourself, it is veryrude to the event we were at.

SPEAKER_07 (09:48):
Yes.
I had saw the cigar table, whichI've I've never seen a cigar
table at at an event.
It was it was in someone'shouse, you know.
And so I saw people, I thought,oh, sure they got a cigar room,
you know, where you have theventilation and everything, and
it sucks it up through theceiling, you know.
That wasn't the room.
And a lot of people had havethat.
So anyway, there's a guy rightin front of us just puffing
away.

(10:08):
But right before that, I wasthinking about, I hadn't had a
cigar in a while.
That'd be fun.
You know, I may do that.
And then then Kurt comes overand said, Hey, Kayla, we may
slip out on you.
He said, We can't stand this guysmoking a cigar.
I'm not gonna do that.
But I did think about it, and Id I definitely don't want to be
one of those people if unlesseverybody's smoking, I don't
want to be the one that's youknow, it is kind of arrogant to

(10:31):
just be smoking and leteverybody make everybody take it
while you're enjoying your own.

SPEAKER_05 (10:34):
Well, I got a question.
Why I know reaching for contenttonight, maybe, but why is that
completely acceptable to justlet loose on a cigar?
But you know, you wouldn't dothat smoking cigarettes.
I know.
That's what I mean.
It's against the law.
I mean to cut up an eight balland say you're just offending
anybody.

SPEAKER_07 (10:54):
Well, well, and the difference at that event also, I
will say, is the host of theevent, it was at at his house,
he had the cigar table set upfor people, and they and the and
the guy was lighting them forpeople right there on the spot.
So so really it was it wasencouraged on the and that's the
first time I've ever seen that.

SPEAKER_10 (11:14):
You know, so the last time I saw that was when
Alabama beat Tennessee.
The whole stadium lit him up.
Interesting.
It was great.
Oh, it was crazy.
Yeah.
You didn't see that?
Oh, it's so great.
We'll show a clip of that onthis episode.
Why would you do it?

SPEAKER_07 (11:32):
No, no, no.
Out of nowhere.
We're talking about cigars,right?
Uh yeah, but now you just it'slet's hurt killos.

SPEAKER_05 (11:37):
50,000 cigars go on that night.
Neil had a good question.

SPEAKER_07 (11:40):
It's not much of a crowd.

SPEAKER_05 (11:41):
Off mic.
Before we started, ask yourquestion.
Because I I I like to know thisone.

SPEAKER_10 (11:46):
Oh, what most what kind of man does most women
prefer?
Yeah.
Oh, give me the question again.
What kind of man do most womenprefer?

SPEAKER_02 (11:56):
Liberal women.

SPEAKER_10 (11:58):
Women in general.
It's a good question.
And we can we can split it.
We can split it to conservativeand liberal women and talk about
each.

SPEAKER_07 (12:05):
Because you might you might have to.
I think it's different.

SPEAKER_05 (12:08):
I do know something that liberal men all do.
Far left, they all make bread.
Really?
Breadmakers?
They're breadmakers.
I don't have time for bread.
I'm telling you, all the farleft guys that I they they make
bread.
I didn't know that they're bad.
They all post about it.
They'll post about it.
I like bread.

SPEAKER_10 (12:25):
It's one thing you make the bread, but then you
post about it.
Yes.
They post about the bread.
They're breadmakers.
That's a little much.
No idea.
I think they're breadmakers.
Kalo, I'm serious.
Hold on, Kalo, do you makebread?

SPEAKER_05 (12:39):
I I haven't.
I'm not saying I I won't.
See, I'm telling you right now,all the far left guys, I'll look
on on Instagram, they'll see,and they're like, they're making
bread.

SPEAKER_07 (12:49):
I'm like, well, it's because it's because their their
wives are out making money, sothey have to do something.
That could be.

SPEAKER_05 (12:58):
Wow, there it is.
That's a real You just blew mymind.

SPEAKER_08 (13:05):
No, I mean there's a lot of different ways we can go
with this.
It's true.
Do you like a golfing hunterguy?

SPEAKER_10 (13:12):
Yeah, I mean, uh I would I would call it a big
thing.

SPEAKER_05 (13:14):
Or breadmaker with a beard.

SPEAKER_10 (13:16):
Well, uh the breadmaker could have made up
for it if he had a cigar in hismouth while he's making bread.
He probably could have made upfor it a little bit.
That'd be some smoky bread.

SPEAKER_09 (13:23):
But are you talking about it'll look a little
tougher, I think.
Yeah, but I'm just trying to getto the root of it.
Like, are you asking What kindof men do they?
Do they want the traditionalmasculinity?

SPEAKER_10 (13:35):
Right.
I would hope so.
They're looking for skinnyjeans.
What are they looking for?
Toxic masculinity.

SPEAKER_07 (13:40):
It's diff it's different for everything.
A lot of women, uh definitely onthe left, just because there's
studies on it, they don'tthey're not looking for a
masculine man to help them runtheir life because they can run
it themselves.
Yeah.
And they don't need that.
They don't need to be able to dothat.

SPEAKER_10 (13:53):
You think that's the way they grew up too.

SPEAKER_09 (13:55):
Do you think a lot of liberal women like to run the
show, wear the pants, in thatrelationship?
I think the men are scared ofthe screen.

SPEAKER_07 (14:03):
Yes, I would guess to say.
Yeah.
You know?

SPEAKER_05 (14:05):
I think liberal men are scared of women.

SPEAKER_07 (14:08):
I don't know a lot of liberal men.
I'm not sure.
I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 (14:12):
I know a few.
They're definitely tone the lineof terror terror.

SPEAKER_07 (14:16):
But I do know some that are that are, you know,
like Neil the Great Hunter.
I mean, they'll they're kind ofmanly men.
They're they're on the left.
It it they exist.

SPEAKER_10 (14:28):
I don't know.
I I don't know a I don't know aliberal hunter.
You'd never seen one.
Surely there's some liberalguys.

SPEAKER_04 (14:36):
I'm a can't be thrash.
I'm not a Mike Walls guy.
He was a great.

SPEAKER_10 (14:40):
Hey, I want somebody out there in our listening
audience to prove to me thatthere's a liberal hunter out
there.
Good one.
It might not be a good one.

SPEAKER_08 (14:46):
Tim Walsh.
Oh.
Oh.

SPEAKER_07 (14:49):
You see him handle a shotgun.

SPEAKER_08 (14:50):
Oh, you see him handle that piece of machinery.

SPEAKER_10 (14:53):
I think that's a facade.
It's a blow to shit.
That's a load of booster.
Or I should call him Braveheart.

SPEAKER_04 (14:59):
He's trying to play both sides, uh-uh.
Oh gosh.
No, he's he's actually he's theworst.
I guarantee you his wife drives.

SPEAKER_07 (15:08):
It's just an elmer phone.
He's just an Elmer phone.

SPEAKER_10 (15:10):
He's in his pastor seat, not saying nothing.
He might be in the back seat.
He might be.
When she drives, I promise you.
Whenever I see that happening,actually, no.
It's just a bad first impressionon a dude when his his wife or
girlfriend is driving.
Well, maybe he's sitting overhere.
It's just a bad look.

SPEAKER_07 (15:26):
Maybe he's drinking and and she's being respon
responsible and and didn't wantto get a DUI.
It's just like you, Kalo.
And just I mean, you never know.

SPEAKER_09 (15:34):
I know he's out there politics and I used to
think I they used to call meSweden, him and Rich, because
they would always be fighting,and I'd just be in the middle
and be like, well, you know, Isee his point and I see his
point, but you way outdo me onthat.

SPEAKER_07 (15:48):
Well, I mean, it's podcasts.
I mean, we gotta we can't allagree on everything.
That'd be real boring, right?

SPEAKER_10 (15:54):
Why can't we just all four agree on something and
slam the stuff?

SPEAKER_07 (15:57):
That's what I'm saying.
Let's everybody love a real I douh agree with Neil.

SPEAKER_05 (16:00):
I don't I don't if there's a liberal hunter, that's
gonna be a tough unicorn.

SPEAKER_07 (16:06):
But why couldn't that I don't understand why a
liberal man couldn't be ahunter?

SPEAKER_10 (16:09):
They don't like guns and stuff.
Yeah, I mean they're is they'reanti-guns for the most part.
PETA.
You got PETA, nobody is.
That's a good point.

SPEAKER_07 (16:17):
If you don't have a gun, it's gonna be hard.
But what a bow and arrow.

SPEAKER_10 (16:19):
They're not gonna kill something.
They're not gonna kill ananimal, a poor innocent animal.
That's true.
I actually wouldn't be on this.
I just I haven't seen one.
I've never met one.

SPEAKER_07 (16:28):
Well, we need to get some uh some fans weighing in
then.

SPEAKER_10 (16:31):
Have you ever let me ask you this have you ever
carried like when Lucy was ababy, did you carry her around
on one of them pouches on thefront?

SPEAKER_07 (16:38):
Uh no.
And she's still a baby,technically.
She's not too.

SPEAKER_10 (16:43):
No, I'm talking about an infant.

SPEAKER_07 (16:44):
Like, I mean, but no, I don't I haven't, but I've
seen the uh the little backpackthing, which I like that.
I hadn't got it yet, but I'mhoping to get it for Christmas
from the podcast team.

SPEAKER_10 (16:52):
Just don't just make sure you keep her in the back.
Yeah.
Don't put her up here.

SPEAKER_07 (16:56):
Like a kangaroo.

SPEAKER_10 (16:57):
Yeah.
That's a bad first impression ona dude, too.

SPEAKER_07 (17:00):
Yeah, I I'm not gonna do that.

SPEAKER_10 (17:01):
I don't the carrying the kid in the back in a
camouflage backpack orsomething.

SPEAKER_07 (17:04):
That's that's yeah, because they've got it kind of
like a tree stand, and you justset them back up.

SPEAKER_10 (17:08):
Exactly.

SPEAKER_07 (17:08):
And they're used to it.
It's pretty cool.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 (17:10):
I'm thinking about that.
Makes a strong back.
This just makes a back hurt.
And it's a bad look.
And it looks very womanly.
Yeah.
So I don't know what kind of Idon't know.
I know there's a lot ofconservative women.
I know what kind of pretty wehave a pretty good idea what
kind of man you know.

SPEAKER_05 (17:27):
I know one thing all women like is when the man makes
money.

SPEAKER_09 (17:33):
Well, actually not really.
I think there are some Caleb uhyou know, was kind of hit on it.
I think there's some women onthe left that like to be the
moneymakers.

SPEAKER_05 (17:46):
Interesting.

SPEAKER_07 (17:48):
Yeah.
I will say, though, in theopposite, like I'm a
conservative.
Make sure you want to date aliberal woman.
I'm a conservative.
I could go wrong here.
You guys would hold that on me.

SPEAKER_05 (17:59):
So wait, liberal women like to make all the
money?
Damn, what have I been?

SPEAKER_07 (18:04):
Well, I mean, I wouldn't mind the scenario.
Like like I won't be emasculatedif there comes a point in time
where my wife is making moremoney than me.
That'd be great.
That would be amazing.

SPEAKER_10 (18:16):
I think we all agree.
We've all been there.
But that's a you're you've youyou you married uh you married a
a smart business-minded woman.
So did I.
Yeah.
And you're not gonna stop themfrom doing what they want to do.
I mean, when when we had kids,Lana quit working.
Right.
Yeah.
How lazy?
She raised the babies.
She didn't she stopped working.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because that's what she wanted.

(18:37):
Yeah.
I told her that's the way it wasdoing.

SPEAKER_05 (18:38):
And I and I love that.
Like that's that's yeah.
I mean, who who what husbandwould make their wives work
after they had a baby?
Well, the majority of peoplewould do that.
Oh, hey Caleb.

SPEAKER_07 (18:51):
Now wait a minute.
Now I'm not making her work.
I'm not sure.
But I will say in kind of aresponse to that, the majority
of families, just the way theworld is set up, is they're set
up on two incomes, and generallymom and dad are both working
because they're you have to doit.
Some of them like it, but someof them have to.

SPEAKER_10 (19:07):
You gotta consider, you gotta they gotta go
something, they have to staysomewhere.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I and I I'm all for that.

SPEAKER_07 (19:13):
If you have the luxury, I get it.
Like that would be that would beawesome.

SPEAKER_10 (19:16):
But I think a w I think uh a a sensible woman
loves it when a man cooks forher.
I don't see that as being lightin the shorts.
Well tell me what you'd cook.

SPEAKER_09 (19:26):
What's your what's your go-to?

SPEAKER_10 (19:27):
I can cook a mean breakfast.
I'm good at that.
And we grill.
And we grill.
We do grill.
Come on.
We can grill like nobody cangrill.

SPEAKER_05 (19:35):
Yeah.
You can you can give us a lot ofgrief, but men can grill.

SPEAKER_10 (19:39):
Yeah.
But you know, to go completelyold school.
I mean, back in the day, like mygrandfather and all, they didn't
if they grilled hamburgers, itwas on a Sunday or something.
Yeah.
But they didn't, they never wentto kids.
They never touched a thing.

SPEAKER_07 (19:51):
No.
My dad, my dad, and this is thisis funny, did you bring it up,
like uh because my mom stilltalks about it, he's been past
for six or seven years, but uhhe would uh and it was it was
just an older school thing, youknow.
She raised, you know, I had twoother brothers, and and so mom
stayed at home, raised the kids,and and dad uh worked.
And so even she'll say as as faras she knows, he's never loaded

(20:15):
a dishwasher, never washed adish.
Oh, right.
Um and then when they did cookout, uh he would he would get
the grill going, you know, theold uh charcoal, get it, get it
going, and then he would come inand say, say, say, Gail, Gail
grill's ready.
And uh she would go out andthrow on the steaks.
But I think you're right.

SPEAKER_09 (20:32):
I think that's just how it was kind of after those
generations.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 (20:37):
Hmm.
You see the man walking thelittle dog in the neighborhood.

SPEAKER_05 (20:41):
Yeah, I got a little dog.
I do have a little dog.
Just saying.
My little dog's awesome.
That's where I draw the line.
Yorkie is mad ass.
Take down most big dogs.

SPEAKER_10 (20:52):
I love all dogs.
I'm just I'm just saying.
Yeah.
It's like it looks like it justlooks like mama made him walk
the dog.
It looked like mama made himwalk her dog.
Love my little dog.

I didn't I didn't say I didn'tlove your dog.

SPEAKER_05 (21:06):
No, but I walk my dog all the time.

SPEAKER_10 (21:08):
It's the sight.

SPEAKER_05 (21:09):
A beautiful sight.
A man and his beast.

SPEAKER_08 (21:13):
It's an amazing sight, dude.
It's beast.
Don't make me laugh.

SPEAKER_07 (21:19):
I've had little dogs before, and I swore that I would
never have them again because Idon't want to walk them and I
don't want the I don't like thelittle yappers.
However, now that you have alittle girl, when when she wants
a dog, I mean it's gonna be hardnot to get a dog.
And I'll be the one out there,you know, walking.

SPEAKER_09 (21:35):
Yes, you will picking up the poop.

SPEAKER_07 (21:37):
You can't say no.

SPEAKER_09 (21:38):
You gotta pick up that poop now.

SPEAKER_07 (21:40):
Or take it to somebody else's yard in the
dark, you know.

SPEAKER_05 (21:42):
You can't say no to a little girl.
I I I I can never say no to mymy daughter.
I'd be to her.
I just had a hard time.
I still have a hard time withit.
She asked me something, youknow, it's different than my my
son.
You can be like, oh no.

SPEAKER_10 (21:54):
No.

SPEAKER_05 (21:54):
Yeah.
No.

SPEAKER_10 (21:55):
Now do uh do real men wear short shorts?

SPEAKER_05 (21:59):
I don't wear shorts at all.
Like Birkenstocks.
Richard Simmons shorts.
Okay.
I'm talking about real men.
I'm talking about real men.
You know what?
I I have a issue withBirkenstocks as well.
I don't get I don't like it.

SPEAKER_07 (22:15):
I don't those German.

SPEAKER_05 (22:17):
Those weird those weird To be completely honest
with you, I don't think menshould wear flip-flops or
anything ever.
I don't think anyone looks at agrown man's feet in things.
Unless you're at the beach, youneed to get a pool or yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
If I'm talking about out, likegoing to dinner, you're going
someplace.
No one wants to see a dude inflip-flops.

(22:38):
I I I just think as as I mean,I'm gonna take some flack for
this for me.
Some very close friends of mine,but I I don't I don't think
anyone wants to see see man'sfeet.
I I gross.

SPEAKER_07 (22:51):
I got some pretty cool flip-flops that have about
a year and a half.
And the coolest thing about themis on each one of them on the
bottom that's a bottle opener.
On the bottom of the flip-flop.
It's pretty cool.
Sounds weird.
It's gross.
No, it's just the bottom of ashoe.
Is it clicking clock when youwalk?
No, no, it's just it's in it'sit it's inside.

SPEAKER_05 (23:10):
No, you don't you don't you don't hear anything.
You're gonna open up the put thebottom of your shoe on top of a
beer, then drink the beer.

SPEAKER_07 (23:15):
Oh no, see no, they they when you you gotta know the
physics of it when you when youpop it open, the glass is not
touching the the shoe.
Anyway, they're on sale rightnow.
They're on clearance.

SPEAKER_05 (23:30):
And yeah, I think I think to come back, circle back
to your question.
I think it's a legit question.
What kind of man do a womanprefer?
I think I think most wouldprefer Don't you think they most
want to be taken care of?
Yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_07 (23:46):
I mean, I don't know about taken care of, but you
know, I think I feel safe.

SPEAKER_10 (23:54):
Like I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 (23:56):
There's a lot of career women uh that I don't uh
it's just different now.
I don't I don't know.
Well maybe they love theircareer.

SPEAKER_05 (24:04):
I think it's awesome yeah, they may love it and they
don't want to stop, but I thinkmost women, if they didn't love
their career, would rather justyou know be taken care of.
And there's nothing wrong withthat.

SPEAKER_10 (24:14):
I got another good question.
Do you think most men would wantto fully support their their
wife?
I would I would think so.
I think I think most especiallyif you have kids, especially if
you have kids.
I think so.
Yes.

SPEAKER_07 (24:24):
You know, that would be good.
And I and I would think thateven a lot of career women, even
if they can't, when they hadkids, wish they could take a
pause for several years, raisethe kids, and then go back and
not lose any place in thebusiness world.

SPEAKER_10 (24:38):
I think most real men want to they have the
natural instinct to support andcompletely take care of their
family.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 (24:48):
Yeah, but I think you're completely or at least
you feel like you should bedoing it.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 (24:53):
I think it's just instilled in us when we're born.

SPEAKER_07 (24:56):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 (24:57):
Some of that may not be the case with all men today.
No, it's not, but it's it's it'sit's how they came up.
It's gotta be.

SPEAKER_07 (25:09):
You know?
Wow.
But being rich, you wouldn'tyeah, I mean, rich people
wouldn't I don't I don't I'm notpointing at you specifically.
You did.
You looked and you pointed.

SPEAKER_08 (25:19):
Yeah.
Oh boy.

SPEAKER_05 (25:25):
Um I got some emails from the company the other day,
and I noticed on the the emailthe pronouns are still there.
I thought that went away.
Me too.
Have we passed is that gone?
I thought we were past thepronoun area.
The pronouns are still there,but I thought those went away.

(25:46):
Why would you send pronouns ifyou're everyone knows you're
married and you're a straightdude?

SPEAKER_07 (25:51):
Well, cor corporately, I know they had to.
You had to you had to do thatsometimes.

SPEAKER_09 (25:56):
Yeah, I think certain businesses you were
required to and the vaccine?
That's too much, man.

SPEAKER_05 (26:04):
That too.
That too.
I mean, can't we not do thepronouns anymore?
We don't have to do them here.
I was like, he him is.

SPEAKER_10 (26:14):
But you don't you never did have to.
So you never did.
I never did.
Right never.

SPEAKER_05 (26:19):
I mean, I don't even know how to use them correctly,
I don't think.

SPEAKER_10 (26:21):
Uh yeah, I don't I mean, I don't pr I don't play
pretend with anybody in theirpronoun in their pretend world,
it's not gonna happen.

SPEAKER_05 (26:28):
I don't think Neil's listed his pronouns on any of
his emails.

SPEAKER_07 (26:30):
So so let's say let's say hypothetically you
were working for a corporationand you're making so much money
that you didn't want to befired, and they said Neil, you
have to you have to use apronoun or we gotta let you go.
And for whatever reason youcouldn't, you had to keep that
job.
Like, what would your what wouldyou put on your card?

SPEAKER_10 (26:49):
It's not.

SPEAKER_09 (26:53):
You'll got old in the last 24 hours.
I know.
It is it's a good question.
It's a fair question.

SPEAKER_10 (26:58):
You know, you know me.
You know me pretty well.
I mean, I'm like, I'm notplaying games.
I mean, what games?
With stuff like with stupid,immature, pretend world stuff
like that.
I'm not playing their game.
That means they've won.

SPEAKER_09 (27:13):
That means the depraved idiot has won.
You know, but it's aninteresting question because we
have the luxury of saying thatwe all have we're self-employed,
so we can you know have thosebeliefs without having anybody
come down on us.
If you depend on your job toprovide for your wife and your

(27:36):
son, and somebody said, Hey, allyou gotta do is just put the
pronoun in your email, would youdo it?

SPEAKER_07 (27:43):
What would the option be?
Because I and this is out of theway.
No, I mean, like, like what isthe acceptable pronoun?
Let's say you're married,heterosexual male, can what
would what do you put?
Do you just put that?
Is it he?
I guess he.
He, him, right?
Is it he, him?
I mean, it if I'm you know, ifI'm working in corporate America

(28:04):
and they say, hey, you gotta puthe, him on there.
I mean, for me, I would do that.
Like I'm not like that.
That's what you are.
That's what you that's what youare.

SPEAKER_04 (28:17):
What a terrible thing.

SPEAKER_09 (28:19):
Halo Kill is falling in line, she's so meaning to
Kelly.
Right.
I mean, I have no other options.

SPEAKER_04 (28:27):
I have no other option to do it.
Why are you so mean to him?
No, because you're fall you'rejust falling in line.
No, listen to me though.
Follow me.

SPEAKER_07 (28:34):
Yeah, first off, you said it's a stupid question.

SPEAKER_04 (28:36):
Yeah.
No, that's the cheapest thing todo.

SPEAKER_05 (28:40):
Neil.
Yeah, but reality though.
They're winning.
Listen to me though.
If but if you've got someone'sgot a family and they're
providing, they're not gonnalike not, you know, screw their
family and say, I'm not.
They would just suck it up andbe like, you know what, I don't
believe in it, but I gotta suckit up for now until something
else changes.
Because you can't just say,Okay, now my family's not gonna

(29:01):
eat.

SPEAKER_10 (29:02):
Right.
True.
It's a bad situation back then.
Because I'll tell you what.
But a real man knows how to killshit and feed his family.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (29:08):
Well, we're not talking about I mean, yeah.
I was waiting for that, youknow, 10 point buck to walk into
around my neighborhood inWilliamson County.

SPEAKER_07 (29:14):
We're not talking about rich guys, we're talking
about the normal American thathas to have a job.

SPEAKER_10 (29:21):
If the world ended today and I lost every penny I
had, okay, I could survive.
Easy.
What a stupid comment.

SPEAKER_07 (29:29):
What a stupid comment.
Easy.
Yeah, but most people can't.
I know.

SPEAKER_10 (29:37):
You know, they ought to be real men and learn.

SPEAKER_05 (29:40):
That's why the liberal men make bread.

SPEAKER_07 (29:44):
Good point.
With with ingredients from thegrocery.
Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_09 (29:49):
Let's uh let's go to break real quick while we got a
good pause there.
Let's uh hear from our sponsors.
We'll be right back.

Man, that clean, crisp taste reminds me of summer
nights on the back porch after afresh mode along.

SPEAKER_09 (30:08):
And they're just not making great beer, they're
investing in America's smalltowns.

SPEAKER_05 (30:13):
Well, it's just like us, they believe in bringing
communities together.

SPEAKER_10 (30:16):
Not only do they invest in communities, but a
portion of each sale goes to theveterans and the first
responders and all the heroesthat protect us.

If you have a place to go pushmoney, you always want to put it

SPEAKER_07 (31:14):
Anybody watch that game last night?
18 innings.
Okay, no, I didn't.
Now this week this won't comeout until next week.

SPEAKER_05 (31:21):
So I made it till the 13th, and I was like, I and
we had the you know long day, soI was like.

SPEAKER_09 (31:26):
Yeah, but so by the time, just for people for
reference, by the time thiscomes out, this will be a week
and a half.
Yeah, yeah.
But it's a good point becauseno, I I love watching baseball,
World Series.
Yeah.
Man, I I went to bed, justpeople know, we're referring to
the game that went to 18innings, third game.
The Dodgers didn't bottom of the18th with Freddie Freeman home

(31:48):
run.
But I didn't see it.
And how many people do you thinksaw it?

SPEAKER_05 (31:52):
Like the percentage of people who started watching
the game.
Probably just on on the WestCoast.
Yeah.
I mean, eight.
I woke up this morning and Iimmediately wanted to see who
won.
Yeah, 18 innings.
Freddie Feeman walked it off acourse, but what a I mean the
World Series, it it is magical.

(32:13):
I love the World Series.
I love this time of year.
I love it.
I mean, that Otani, he he's he'snot he's not real.

SPEAKER_09 (32:23):
I'll I'll say this.
Do you guys watch any baseball?
Not much.
I watch college.
Okay, but have you seen ShoheiOtani play at all?
I I feel comfortable in sayingwe have never seen anyone like
this.
Even compared to Babe Ruth, he'sprobably more talented than Babe

(32:44):
Ruth.
I don't think he's human.

SPEAKER_10 (32:48):
I think he should go out for the draft.
I think he should play football.
Yeah?

SPEAKER_05 (32:52):
I mean he's probably got it in there.
Yeah.
He got walked intentionally fourtimes last night, on base eight
times or nine times.

SPEAKER_09 (33:01):
I don't know, but it's stupid.
And then the game he pitched inthe other series.
He struck out ten, hit threehome runs.
And he's pinching tonight.

SPEAKER_05 (33:07):
So, I mean, like you said, this will air a week from
now, but he'll probably getbombed and he'll probably not.
Probably the perfect game.
Yeah.
The guy's not real, I'm tellingyou.

SPEAKER_07 (33:15):
Well, I'm definitely gonna have to because I I
haven't watched uh professionalbaseball in a long time.
Like I watched the Braves backuntil that strike a long time
ago.
And then uh I never picked itback up.
I still still pull for Braves,but I don't watch him.
But now I'm gonna have to be aSan Francisco Giants fan because
Tennessee's coach, Tony Vitello,he's the general manager, went

(33:36):
directly from being a head coachin college to general uh to the
manager of professionalbaseball, and that's the first
time it's ever happened at all.
Which and he's he's just a greatcoach and a cool guy.
And he's got some of his playersthat are already there, so now I
am gonna watch that to see ifwhat he can do.

SPEAKER_09 (33:53):
Yeah, I don't know much about him, but he seems
like he's a great coach.
He took that program, he made apretty solid contender now every
year.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 (34:02):
Yeah, so so but definitely sad seeing him go,
but I'd but he left he left thebaseball program in great shape,
you know.
So it'd be fun watching that,see what happens.
Yeah, right?
What are you thinking overthere?

SPEAKER_10 (34:16):
My neck just went crazy for a second, and I'm
getting over it, but I'm I'll beback.
Are you taking anything?
I took some ibuprofen before Igot here.

SPEAKER_07 (34:23):
Okay.
Jeff, do you have good stronghands?
Hey uh Jim, can you cut Neil'scamera off?
Jeff, be a real man and rob me.
Speaking of uh that, uh whatabout the uh the Trump ballroom?

SPEAKER_10 (34:41):
I know.
I just Obama did it.
Obama does this.

SPEAKER_09 (34:48):
I can't even believe it.
I haven't actually been able tokeep up too much on the news too
much lately, but so clarify forme what's happening.
He's making or he's doing anaddition that he's turning it
into like a ballroom orsomething.

SPEAKER_07 (35:02):
It's a huge ballroom, gonna have gold all
over it and everything, but heis financing it himself.
He's paying for it.

SPEAKER_09 (35:08):
And the argument that the left is saying is he's
desecrating the the White House,right?

SPEAKER_07 (35:13):
Yeah, so it's like they're saying this is this is
your your house, not his house,and he's destroying it, you
know.

SPEAKER_10 (35:18):
Trevor Burrus, Jr.
But surely they knew they weregonna get it was gonna be thrown
back in their face when we stwhen everybody started showing
clips of Obama's edition.
Oh, sure.
And it cost twice as much.
It was a basketball court.
I mean I mean, surely they knewthat, right?

SPEAKER_07 (35:32):
It doesn't matter.
I did see a tweet.
It didn't exist, it didn'thappen.
It didn't really happen.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 (35:40):
I think I think I did see a tweet that Chelsea
Clinton, you know, was comingout with.
I saw that.
What did you say?

SPEAKER_08 (35:45):
Basically, that he was desecrating the White House
and do yourself a favor and readthrough the comments.

SPEAKER_04 (35:53):
Your old man, your old man ran through him in all
those rooms, man.

SPEAKER_10 (35:57):
I think did he say something I'd stay out of this
one?
You might not want to sit thisone out.
Wow.
Let's talk about what your daddid to the Oval Office.

SPEAKER_05 (36:06):
Yeah, I mean, and just and I mean to be I mean,
come on.
We don't need to he's yeah, he'sbuilding the ballroom.
Every president does this.
This is what they do.
Sure.
They build what they want.

SPEAKER_09 (36:17):
If I was president, what would you what would you
what would your addition be?

SPEAKER_07 (36:22):
This is a nice question.
Very nice question.
Not a stupid question, Kurt.

SPEAKER_01 (36:27):
I would build I'm never gonna hear the end of
this.

SPEAKER_04 (36:33):
Is that at me?
No.

SPEAKER_07 (36:34):
No, Kurt, that is not a stupid question.
No, that was that was Tanil.
Tanil, thank you.

SPEAKER_05 (36:40):
What would your addition be?
Well, we have a full recordingstudio, of course.

SPEAKER_01 (36:46):
Okay.

SPEAKER_05 (36:46):
Be like like a massive recording studio, right?
Okay.
And off of it.

SPEAKER_10 (36:51):
And how does how does the world get to benefit
from that?
By by hearing the stuff we comeout with.
Like don't you're gonna bringworld leaders in and we're gonna
cut records.
World leaders.
No, we're gonna write and cutmusic in there.

unknown (37:03):
No.

SPEAKER_05 (37:04):
Wait a minute.
This is my question.
So full studio, full studio.
I'm talking like trackingstudio, rooms to write, mixing
studio, all of it.
Run the White House recordsright out of there.
White House Records.
Yeah.
It's fantastic.
And then off of that basis.
Off of that room?
Full movie theater.

(37:25):
Because I like to watch movies.
I bet they've got one.
There's got to be a movie.
I would think there is, but II'm just saying that's what I
would want.
Okay.
I'd have a with the bestpopcorn.
Well, yes.

SPEAKER_10 (37:36):
I want to hear what Caleb would build.

SPEAKER_09 (37:37):
Okay, Caleb, what's if you're a president, you're a
president, what's your additiongoing to be?

SPEAKER_10 (37:42):
Remember, you gotta, I mean, you gotta entertain the
world and the leaders that comein.

SPEAKER_05 (37:46):
You know what?

SPEAKER_10 (37:47):
Not to interrupt, but world leaders.

SPEAKER_07 (37:56):
Oh, there's a not to interrupt.

SPEAKER_05 (37:58):
It's because I just thought of something about my
addition to the White House.
Okay.
Oh, you weren't done.
There's nothing that worldleaders love more than to like
take part in the making ofmusic.
They love it.
Yes.
They want to feel they do.
It's just they want to feel themusic.
Yeah, I feel like that's gonnabe a good one.

SPEAKER_07 (38:14):
Caleb, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (38:14):
You're on you got it.

SPEAKER_07 (38:16):
I really, you know, Caleb, not to interrupt, but I
think they already have.
They've they've got golf greensaround there.
They've got a gym.
They do?
Yep.
You know?
They do?
Yep.
And I really can't imagineanything.
I I'm fairly simple.
Like I I don't know the I betanything I would want to do,
they probably have.

(38:36):
Hmm.
I would guess.
So they already have simulators.
Make his movies.
I don't know if they have asimulator or not, uh, which that
could be important during thewinter months for training and
stuff like that.

SPEAKER_10 (38:46):
Oh, simulators.
But outside of that I bet youthere's one in there.

SPEAKER_07 (38:50):
There's gotta be.

SPEAKER_10 (38:50):
Gotta be.
Gotta be.
Trump's.
If not, there should be.

SPEAKER_07 (38:54):
Because that's not that expensive compared to a
ballroom or something.

SPEAKER_10 (38:58):
I like the studio thing.
The studio thing's cool.
I think they should actually dothat.
I think I would have a stagetoo.
I'd have a stage for now you'regetting somewhere.
Live performances.
Karaoke.
And then I would have to go.
What's the ballroom?

SPEAKER_04 (39:09):
Karaoke.
That's a great thing.

SPEAKER_10 (39:11):
Karaoke would be fantastic.

SPEAKER_07 (39:13):
You'd have all the reporters come in, they can have
a huge party.

SPEAKER_10 (39:16):
I'd have a bow range, an archery range, I'd
have a gun range so they can seehow good we are at shooting.
You know, it's it's a littleintimidating.

SPEAKER_07 (39:26):
Yeah.
Well, I think even the ballroom,like like Trump's been
everywhere and he's seeing allthese grand places that he goes
to.
I think he wants America to stayon top, be on top, and when
other world leaders come, youknow, to the White House, he
wants them to be impressed andintimidated and kind of like,

(39:47):
oh, all right, they got thingsrocking, you know.
So and there's gonna be, I mean,I mean, everyone is gonna use
that ballroom that I mean overand over and over again.
You know, so anyway.
Hmm.

SPEAKER_09 (39:59):
It's all good stuff.
It's all good stuff.
That was a really good subject,Kalo.
That was great.
Thanks, Kirk.
What would you build?
Uh I I think you guys got allthe answers.
Because like Caleb said, I can'teven think of anything else that
you love golf and yeah.
I mean, it would be a room thatI could be alone in, actually.

(40:19):
I need I need a room to bealone.
That's what the bedroom's for.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 (40:26):
He said alone.

SPEAKER_09 (40:27):
Oh, yeah.
Did you guys hear this will bedated too because you know uh
Joe Flacco got traded to theBengals.
He's done great since he's beenthere, but he had some
interview, and somehow he wastalking about you know being new
to Cincinnati, and he went tothe bar and he went by himself,
and he was kind of saying, youknow, when I was younger, I'd go

(40:48):
and I'd see a guy that wassitting there by himself and be
like, oh, poor guy.
And now he goes, he he has atotal different perspective,
like, oh my gosh, that guy'slucky.

SPEAKER_08 (40:58):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 (41:00):
That's your only time that you get to be by
yourself.
And we actually talked aboutthis before we came on the
podcast.
You know, you being in yourstand.
Uh how much time do you getalone?
I know that everybody probablycraves alone time, but how much
time do you actually get alone?
You don't like it at being aloneas a tension.

SPEAKER_05 (41:21):
As long as I'm with my wife, I'm happy.

SPEAKER_08 (41:24):
Spoken like a true liberal.

SPEAKER_05 (41:25):
That's great answer.
Sure.
Uh I love, yeah, there's there'sa certain I think the older I
get for sure, or in general, Ithink the I've always loved
though that alone time.
Yeah.
I've always just I don't I don'tknow why, you know.
For a little bit of time anyway.

SPEAKER_07 (41:42):
So what do you do with that alone time?
And don't be graphic, just kindof that's the whole point.
Nothing.
Nothing.

SPEAKER_05 (41:49):
Sad to say, I probably just create scenarios
in my brain and think aboutthings and go O C D.
So that's not peaceful timealone.
I can't see each other's brainbeing peaceful ever.
I even this is a great story.
We were living together.
Oh my Kurt, I never told youthis.
So we me and Kurt and Rich wereliving uh in our second house

(42:11):
together.
This is probably 2002.
I don't know.
And we and in the and the wheelswere running off.
I mean, we were you know, wewere busy and we were partying a
lot back in those days.
And I remember I had this momentwith like, you know what I'm
gonna try to do?
I'm gonna try meditating.
So so because I don't know whatI read, but I remember at the

(42:37):
old house, uh the HermitageHouse.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 (42:40):
Good place to meditate.

SPEAKER_05 (42:41):
Yeah, so this house, you had a picture.
So if if you it was this reallynice neighborhood, and at the
end of this really nicecul-de-sac lived me, Kurt, and
Rich.
And this is a familyneighborhood.
So you can imagine what thatlooked like.
So geez.
I mean it's America, it's okay.
Um but anyway, so I I wasupstairs in my room and I

(43:03):
actually I was like, I'm gonnastart meditating today.
And I um sat down and I put myhands wherever we were supposed
to do like this, whatever.
I I did.
And I sat there and I tried todo it, and I I tried to get to
five minutes, and by uh Iremember thinking, oh I can't do
that.
And it caused me more stress.

SPEAKER_07 (43:25):
Did you do the um did you do the stuff?
I was trying to breathe.
I was breathing in.

SPEAKER_05 (43:29):
What is meditation exactly?
What do you actually do when youmeditate?
What I hear is you you just fallinto this state where it's like
you're not asleep, but your yourbrain empties out.
And that's when I realized Ican't empty my brain.
And I still can't empty mybrain.
It's brutal existence.
Like I can't, I'll go home onfrom here to home, I'll be

(43:51):
thinking about songs we have todo, what we gotta work on, I
gotta put that bass track, Igotta, you know, what's gonna
happen if I don't?
Yeah, how many days?

SPEAKER_10 (44:01):
So it's more worry than anything or concern.
Constant stress.

SPEAKER_09 (44:05):
Yeah.
That's that's my that's mymeditative state.
But what about at the very endof the night?
Nope.

SPEAKER_08 (44:11):
Like you have you have trouble going to sleep?
Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_07 (44:14):
It takes me.
Uh I'm kind of the same.
Yeah, I think we all are.

SPEAKER_10 (44:19):
But sometimes I talk to God, get my soul right, get
my heart right, and I go, I do,I I do that.

SPEAKER_05 (44:25):
I do that, and it's still, it's still I still I
know.
You're you're a man.
You're a man's man.
You're a real man.
Well, I mean, I'm I was thinkinglike, okay, I gotta provide, I
gotta you know, real man kids inschool, I got yeah, it's like I
so that keeps me up, you know.
It's all good.
I mean I it's oh it's not allgood because I really never shut
down.

SPEAKER_10 (44:45):
But y'all ever do you do you ever and this is for
all of you guys, do you everjust go to this the place after
you've stressed yourself out alittle bit and get all this
stuff, do you can you mentallygo to this to the to the spot of

It's hard to really.
Everything's gonna be alright.

It's gonna be great.
We're not gonna starve.
Crit's good at that.
We're not gonna mainly.
You know what I'm saying?
And to stop the stress, yeah.

Well, I think I mean three of ushere at the uh need help.
No, it's just but there's athere's an you can do that just
as easily if you let yourself,you can do it just as easily as
you can.
You're right, it should be justas easy.
You can let the negative stuffinfiltrate your brain.
You can you can also let thepositive stuff.

SPEAKER_05 (45:47):
And I do, I'll I'll say those things out loud and it
helps, and then slip right backinto the They say when you wake
up, that's the first thing youshould do.

SPEAKER_09 (45:55):
Say the things you're thankful for, say the
things that you know you'reblessed with, get yourself on
the right path for the day.

SPEAKER_07 (46:01):
Yeah, wake up, but waking up is definitely by here,
it's a great thing to do.
I got yeah, I didn't like Idon't wake up stress.
It it is at the end of the nightwhen everything's really quiet.
That when you wake up, it's zerostress.
I don't know why.
It seems like it'd be it'd beopposite.

SPEAKER_05 (46:16):
I have that I wait my eyes open, and that's that
panic.
No, my eyes open, my eyes open,and there's like a couple
seconds of like emptiness, andthen the weight comes on.

what's the word I'm looking for,the catalyst for not stopping,
you know?
Yeah.
Not saying it's a good thing.
It's hard to juggle.

SPEAKER_10 (47:07):
There's a fine line between stress and drive.
Yeah.
You know, you're right.
That's what letting that stressyou out.
That was very weird.
You guys are making up there.

and before while you're thinkingabout that, to me to to kind of
close up on the Chicago thing, Imean to me it's just as simple
as if because it wasn't you knowthat mayor, that governor's idea
to do that, and you have Trumpcome in and clean up the city,
they just don't want anybodyelse getting it.

(57:01):
Well, I don't think they wantit.

SPEAKER_05 (57:02):
I think they want the the destruction.
I think I think they get off onthat.
I really do.
It's the only explanation.

Look at Portland.
You know, I mean I don't thinkthey really care.
They don't care, and I thinkthey're they want the anarchy.
I I right what's the other Idon't know.

SPEAKER_07 (57:20):
I don't know what the benefit is.
I don't think they care.

SPEAKER_05 (57:22):
I don't that's what I mean though.
I the benefit is to just teardown America.
And at some point you gotta lookat it and be like, okay, if you
don't want it safe, you mustwant to tear it down.
I don't know what the whywouldn't you want as as a
governor or mayor or whatever.
If you're having a crimeepidemic and the president's

(57:42):
saying, let me help you fixthis, and you say no.

SPEAKER_07 (01:01:37):
I was wondering what you guys thought and listeners
too, you know, like uh the thekiller, the Charlie Kirk killer,
the guy who shot him.
You know, there and I don't knowwhat the maybe the the response
has already come back, but hisattorney was fighting for him,
not coming in you know, thecourthouse and going through
that trial with in handcuffsstuff, he wanted to be in street

(01:02:00):
clothes, dignified so he doesn'tlook guilty.
It's just the oddest thing tome.
I mean it's okay.

SPEAKER_09 (01:02:06):
Sorry, because this is the first time I'm hearing
this.

SPEAKER_07 (01:02:08):
I heard that repeated so they're yeah, so the
so the shooter, uh the guy whoshot uh Charlie Kerry, I don't
even say his say his name, butum instead of coming in through
all those proceedings, right,you know, in in your prison wear
jumpsuit, whatever that is, yourhandcuffs, things like that,
that they wanted him to come andbe allowed to come in in street

(01:02:29):
clothes to look more dignifiedand to not already be guilty
when he walks in because helooks like I totally get that.

SPEAKER_09 (01:02:38):
Why does he get a choice?
What is protocol?
Yeah.
You're not until you're provenguilty.

SPEAKER_10 (01:02:43):
He shouldn't be he shouldn't be I get that.
He shouldn't be in prison attirewhen he comes in for his trial.

SPEAKER_09 (01:02:49):
Technically, though, if you're in custody I don't
know what the protocol is.
But whatever it is, it's what itshould be.
I don't even know how that's anissue, really.

SPEAKER_07 (01:02:58):
It just seemed like it, like you know, at first when
I first heard that I thoughtAlright, well they they already
know it's the guy.
Like, right.

SPEAKER_09 (01:03:06):
That is true.
But Neil, it is also true.
You are innocent until you're ina court law improving.

SPEAKER_10 (01:03:12):
I get the defense fighting for that.
I totally get that.
No, I get why.
Yeah, and I don't think it'sgonna change anything at the end
of the day.

SPEAKER_07 (01:03:19):
Probably not.

SPEAKER_10 (01:03:20):
No.
But if he comes in there inorange and white striped
jumpsuit, I mean it alreadylooks like he's done.

SPEAKER_07 (01:03:31):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (01:03:31):
When they go in?

SPEAKER_07 (01:03:33):
