stuff that's happening in the month of March. March is
one of those those months it starts. It's a fun month.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
I like March in lock a line goes out kind
of like March.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
I don't know why. Well, maybe because it's got Saint
Patrick's Day in it. Now it does. Okay, So next week,
this Sunday is when we do daylight Savings time, and
which is like, oh man, any question, that's the age old.
Every time it happens, we bitch about it, and you know,
people were like, what is this is gonna stop? But
that happens this week. So this week we lose an
hour of sleep with daylight saving time. This coming weekend

(02:28):
we got March Madness kicks in. But you know what
I thought, March Madness Angels starts like right away, like
as soon as it's March, it starts happening. It doesn't
start until the fifteenth of the month.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Yeah, we still got a couple of weeks. We've got
a conference championships that are getting are starting to kick off,
and so for some of the automatic bids yea, yeah,
so we still got about a week or.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Two, and then a week after that is when Major
League Baseball starts up again. So that's happening in this month,
March fifteenth, the oscars will be uh, we'll be on Okay,
didn't I hear do I remember us talking about this
that they were going to do the differently this year.
Was it gonna be on like YouTube or something like that,
or or is that not it? Maybe that was maybe

(03:07):
that was another one. Maybe there was another one of
the the award shows that were gonna flip to only
doing it on YouTube.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
That sounds like a dream you had, but it could
be a thing.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Could be.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
I don't know. I remember some some awards show they
were like, eh, from now on, I.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
Think you're right, am. I didn't they do like they
went They went streaming. They did the whole thing streaming.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Okay, maybe they're Conan O'Brien is gonna be the host
this year, and so that's happening in the month of March.
And then of course you got to Saint Patrick's Day
happens in the month of March. iHeartRadio Music Awards will
be aired on March twenty six, so that's happening. And
then when they're talking about the movies that are coming out,
it didn't look like anything that's I mean, Project Hail Mary,

(03:47):
what's that?

Speaker 4 (03:48):
Oh? That one looks good? And Ryan Gosling, Yeah, if
you read the book, so far from all the trailers,
it seems like they're being pretty faithful to the book.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
Okay, so basically that explains why he's gonna be on
starving that live. Then next week I was like, what
does Ryan Goslin doing?

Speaker 4 (04:03):
Oh yeah, so this was a really fantastic sci fi book,
and it's basically he's a school teacher and uh, Project
till Mary, the Last Chance to save the Earth because
the sun is uh you know, burning up whatever, and
uh he gets shipped up, but he's not Yeah, but
he's not qualified, you know, to do any of this.
He's not an astronaut.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
He's a school teacher doingageddon.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
But school teacher this time, not oil workers, not oil
rig workers.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Okay, yeah, all right, well then look usually anything with
Ryan Gosling's pretty good. So yeah, you know that probably
and then uh, you got a Hoppers Pixar movie.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
I don't know what that is, but there's only there's
a little trailer on that one. If you go off
the trailer, they figured out a machine that you can
put your human brain into an animal. Okay, and then
it goes wild from there. Well it's a lot of
very great premise.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah, kids movie, Oh.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Yeah, Tomorrow's National Pancake Day is tomorrow, uh, followed up
by National Cereal Day. Okay, do you have a choice
between pancakes or cereal? Which one you going A picked?

Speaker 4 (05:08):
Cereal? Killers? I go Cereal.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, I was actually crazy overrated.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Like pancakes are that thing that you you like, you
see pancakes.

Speaker 5 (05:17):
Give me like five pancakes and then you get five pancakes.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
You're like, I only need two pancakes. Yeah, I'm full. Yeah,
so yeah, they fill you up? Yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Are you a pancakeman or a cereal maancakes over Cereal
all day?

Speaker 4 (05:30):
Really crazy?

Speaker 1 (05:31):
You've got time for that?

Speaker 4 (05:32):
No? I mean if you do the pancakes right like
my grandma did, where she would so bacon them, but
she used so much butter that the ridges around them
were crispy and then yeah, the soft center and then
the crispy ridges and then uh and then some good syrup.
But I mean, I get why, Like with Ryan, I
get it they do. I think when they offer you
the servings, they tend to go over the top. Two pancakes, cakes,

(05:54):
maybe three tops, and regular sized pancakes. Don't give me
that really giant, huge one that takes up the whole
too much. I'm not a child, but if you do
three normal size ones, and then if you do the
minis and minies get cold too quick.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
I was watching the show last night and and and
the show, the guy was eating a.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
Bowl of Cereal. I'm like, man, and it had Cereal forever.
I was just gonna ask you because you were saying that,
what cereal would you get?

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Well, i' me seeing the stuff I would want has
sugar in it, and I know that made me feel bad.
I do love some Captain Crunch, though, to be honest
with you, just regular or peanut butter. No regular regular.
But it's been it's been probably a decade, so I
think I'm just fantasizing about it and remembering it as
this a great thing, but you know, it's been.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
It's been forever since I had cereal. I couldn't even
tell you the last time I had a bul of Cereal.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
I just saw a commercial yesterday for Cereal and they
were like, hey, just so you know, all that's in
Cereal is and you know, you know, they showed the
ingredients and they quickly said sugar, but they didn't say
it this this and sugar and it's good for you,
and they're trying to promote it. I think it was
Kellogg's nineteen or something like that. Also, in the month

(06:59):
of March, we've got uh, let's see, oh uh National
Viagara Day, just so you know, in case gays your
water got their old day, they got their own day.
That that and National Puppy Day really didn't look like
there's that much going on in March. And now that
I read over all this, there's a spin off. There's
a Yellowstone spin off called The Madison with Michelle Pfeiffer

(07:22):
and Kurt Russell.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
There's an entire war going on.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
Good March. Happy March, everybody.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah, I wasn't gonna jump out with that right away.

Speaker 5 (07:30):
Who you said there's nothing going on to the biggest
thing ever is actually going on.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Yeah, we're war with Iran.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
I woke up Saturday and here's the thing.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
And I understand Facebook, little baby, I do understand how
that is so uh what's that term when it's like, uh,
tone deaf right? But I woke up it turned on
the news and Trump was talking about how we're going
to war with Iran and I'm like okay, and she
and she's getting a little upset, and listen, how does
that affect us?

Speaker 4 (07:56):
Baby?

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Okay, the past, the price, the price of gas probably
to go up. Other than that, we're not gonna, you know, relax,
We're not gonna be affected. And then and then right
when I say that, they were like, well, there said
something about Greece getting involved, and they're wondering if Greece
was gonna get involved in and.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
She's like our trip to Greece.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
I'm like, oh man, and she's starting to get freaked out,
like and I'm like, listen, I don't I mean, it's
a year from now.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
I don't know that any you know.

Speaker 5 (08:24):
Weird though, because I flew I flew to Germany at
the start of the war in Ukraine, and it was weird,
like it was when everything started taking off. And I
guess the head of the EU is like right where
we were at in Germany. So I mean, they're like
jets flying over. There's like heightened security.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
It was a whole thing.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
So it's definitely a different travel experience. But you're gonna
be fine.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, that's what I determined. I had to talk her
down from it because she got scared. She and how
are they going to treat us. For Americans, it's a
year from now, there will be an entire new tragedy.
There'll be all, yeah, a whole new news you know,
like you know.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
You're going agrees to see ruins, So what are they
gonna do ruin the ruins?

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Yeah, it was just she just got a little freaked
out about it. And I'm like, I don't know. A
year from now, who knows what's going to happen. This
thing could be over in a month, It could be
over in a year. Who knows what it is. And listen,
if I if I tried to pretend like I know
a whole lot about the Middle East and what's right
and what's wrong, I would be a fool to say.

(09:25):
So I've done as much research as I can handle
and figure it out. All I understand is, I guess
we don't want them to have a nuclear weapons and
we want them.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
To switch over the regime.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
I now, the Trump administration had campaigned on we don't
want to get involved in these wars and we don't
want to have people do regime change. But then, of course,
you know, nothing he has ever said has ever stayed.
You know, they always flip flaps, of whatever he wants.

Speaker 5 (09:52):
So my nephew just signed up for the Marines. But
like right before this happened. Oh wow, which is interesting.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
His smart kid.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
But yeah, that was a big shock, and now I
got to think about all that too. It's a fun
little weekend.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
Man.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Well, you're the kind of person you go.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
You don't let it bother you. You're to let it
bother me.

Speaker 5 (10:10):
I don't let it bother me, but I'm going to
follow it to be, you know, up on what we're
talking about. I do whatever, we do anything in this country.
Now everybody on Facebook suddenly becomes an expert on whatever
is exactly happening. God, a lot of a lot of
Facebook profiles of white dudes with their glasses on and
bad beards suddenly know everything about Middle Eastern policy.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
I'll tell you that.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Oh that's so annoying. I will tell you right now.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
I do not.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, I appreciate you admitting that.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
I don't know enough about it to sit here and
preach to you one way or the other. I just
know that usually listen, I have that that Trump. I
can't stand him, sundrome, and no, no matter what he does,
I don't like it. So I'm the I'm the wrong
guy to ask. I got Trump. I don't like him syndrome,
So it seems to me if he's made the decision,
it was the wrong one. That's that's how I feel
about it. But nobody cares what I think. Uh, but

(10:57):
being at war doesn't seem right, you know. Uh uh
you know, and and then and then the flat out
say hey, yeah, we're gonna lose. We're gonna lose some
some American soldiers. But that's just the price of war.
I don't know, man, it seems.

Speaker 5 (11:11):
People are posting that meme from Shrek where the guys
on the balcony's like some of.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
You may die, and it's just price I'm willing to accept.
That's a lot of that.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Interesting, Uh you know, blessed troops.

Speaker 5 (11:23):
I hope everybody gets home okay, and know we lost them,
but damn, it's what a Saturday.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah, that's like that when this stuff just happens.

Speaker 5 (11:32):
What I'm tired as a millennial of going through these
like once in a lifetime things that I've been through
like nine of them now, whether it's like market collapses,
real estate collapses, various wars.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
Tired, boss Well the thing is is that the news
cycle is fast and furious, right, like like if you're
you know, if you're flood to Zone, if you're Savannah Guthrie,
you know, like like that was the hottest thing for
a couple of days and now it's it's it's you know,
back Epstein files. That was a big thing. Now that's
you know, that's behind, you know now because now we
got a war and then there'll be something else in

(12:06):
the four days.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
And it's well and again it's where your attention is,
or where captures are attention, right, So it's uh, some
people are finding curious that he went ahead and started
this when the whole other chapter of this Epstein thing
in New Mexico is starting to blow up and Epstein's
involvement in that. So with the farm that he had.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Out there property, they want to dig up the bodies.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
Yeah, So there's a lot of strings to pull out here. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
And and there's always some other news cycle thing that's
happened that's the most the newest and most devastating and
most oh my god, I can't believe that happened. Thing
that goes on, right, So it makes you wonder, like
two weeks from now, it will still be this war
or will be something else.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
Oh, they're anticipating. According if we listen to our heads
of state here, they're anticipating in this war to.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
Last war, to last four to five weeks. Four to
five weeks.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
That was the latest quote from our president.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
I remember Russia said that too, exactly.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
That's true then, and it's not been in our history
that we go into that a part of the world
and it's short, quick u situations. And to that point,
the bombs that were dropped on Iran just a few
months ago to deplete your nuclear capabilities, so that that
did not work, Yeah, because we did it. We bombed them.

(13:20):
We bombed them. It's a good we forget we just
bombed the.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Underground.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
Yeah, we bombed them, not just within the last four
or five months to eliminate their nuclear capabilities, and so
in four or five months they were able to rebuild everything.
That's fascinating.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
So am I wrong that? It rubs me? It rubs
me the wrong way to hear an American president say
something to the effect of and this is not exact
wordiness is the way when I heard it, like, Hey,
if the people of Iran put down your weapons and
you'll be fine. If not, you're doing you're gonna meet
intimate debt. What was it some sort of death like

(13:55):
h I don't know, like they threatening the death of
I don't know that. Just it doesn't sound good, right,
it doesn't sound right. It didn't sound it doesn't sound
like someone.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
Now, those guys have been more eloquent in doing that,
and I love the fact that, like again, the guys
are really quick to text us and want to correct us,
but they don't want to correct anybody else. Right, Oh,
we're not at war. This is what everybody else has said. Right.
Our own president said it's war. Yeah, we killed we
killed their supreme leader. He said war. These are with
the words from our leaders of state. Ray, So if

(14:29):
you want to start correcting somebody, why don't you get
at your own people, Ray.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
I mean, this is a there were I mean, I
don't know, but I've seen on all of the news
that we're at war with Iran and the president called
it war. So what else do you I mean, I know,
I know he didn't check with the Congress.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
I just checked CNN, Fox, M and MSNBC, all three
of them. It's we're at war.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
We're at war.

Speaker 4 (14:51):
Yeah, yeah, you're at war with you.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
I'm not a war year it war losers.

Speaker 4 (14:59):
That was gonna start with it.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
I was gonna start with happy March stuff, and then
you wanted to bring up the war, and it's like, uh.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
I got to start with happy March.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
Where do we go from here?

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (15:08):
I know we go from here when we go back
to the other stuff. Like, like you said, you're concerned
about being tone deaf. I think sometimes it comes off
tone deaf and we don't acknowledge the.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Baby elephant in the room.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
Oh no, wait, I knew we were going to acknowledge it.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
And uh, and you're right, it does seem like tone
de have to worry about your travel plans when there
are Americans that are dying.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
And then and it made me think about mine.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
I'm liked I canceled too. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:29):
I think.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
I think canceling a trip for next March is a
knee jerk reaction to just being freaked out that there's you.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Got before you can cancel.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
I didn't.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
I didn't pay for the insurance. I didn't pay for
the travel insurance. But it was three hundred bucks a
person for the travel insurance. No, it's it's like fifteen.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
Grand wouldn't you wouldn't this be one of those circumstances
that would qualify for you to get your money back.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Well, if I did, if I did it now, But
I don't know that I want to get my money back.
I don't know that I want to cancel it now,
because by next March the war could be done and
it could be necessarily not war war.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
I mean, you know what I'm saying, Like it could
be a.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
Whole different thing by next war, So there'll be a
new thing that's in the news that we're going, Oh
my god, I can't believe he did that.

Speaker 4 (16:16):
You know, it'd be a whole new one of those
who new Well, I mean the other thing that can
take into consideration, like, you know, going out into the
world as an American, Now, do you feel safe.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
To like in Italy and Greece. I think you're still
okay to be an American?

Speaker 4 (16:33):
Right, I guess.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
I mean, I'm when I go to the Middle East,
I wouldn't go out, but.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
I mean, you know, whatever kind of groups are out there,
you know, yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's something
to think about.

Speaker 5 (16:45):
It Austin, Texas over the weekend, where I just was
my wife is concerned about it.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
Yeah. I would check the State Department and each of
those countries and travel advisories and everything like that, and
like like what Ryan said, Yeah Austin don't Yeah, yeah,
that's crazy. I went to that bar, Oh did you Yeah?

Speaker 3 (17:03):
That was a yeah.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
This this is like Mary Ellen's kind of her trip.
And she was like, let's just cancel. I'm like, I
can't believe you had three for the insurance on fifteen
grand though. That's crazy.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
I'm like, honey, it's it's a year from now. There'll
be different things going on in the news a year
from now. You know. I don't think we just canceled
right away. But I am going to call to day
and say, if I've already booked it, can I get
the insurance now? Or like, hey, you've booked it? Sorry,
you're on your own.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Yeah I think you're too.

Speaker 4 (17:27):
I don't know, come back and let us know.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
I'll let Yeah, well, I'm gonna I'm gonna call today
and say, hey, can I can I get the insurance now?

Speaker 4 (17:34):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (17:34):
By the way, yeah yeah, yeah, by the way, can
I add this on?

Speaker 5 (17:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (17:38):
All right, you're listening to the match of the morning.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
If you're gonna give up your personal information to a
giant Mercialless Corporation, might as well listen to something good.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
So tell Alexa to play Real Radio one O four
point one one Arch Radio.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
Damn. Hey, since we've already cracked open the war topics. Uh,
just just a thought, just a question for you guys, buddy,
that's all right.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
I was gonna hold that for later. Better we'll do
other stuff.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (18:15):
Usually when it comes.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
And once again, I'm just being straight up with you.
I'm not not a fan, so so it doesn't matter
even if it's good or bad, I wouldn't know the difference.
Donald Trump could be doing a total right thing and
I would be like, nah, he's gonna be wrong.

Speaker 4 (18:29):
He's doing it. So I'm the bad person to ask.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
But usually when Donald Trump is doing something there, money
is involved, right, Like He's never never does anything that
doesn't in claud because to him, greed and money and
being wealthy, and that's like his most important thing in
his life, you know. The money, money, money, money, money.
That's why a lot of people like him because they
want to make more money. Aren't any money, money, money, money,

(18:51):
So where do uh going to war with Iran? If
we're gonna follow the money? Is there any money involved
with oil?

Speaker 4 (19:01):
It's always oil?

Speaker 5 (19:02):
And then remember he got a four hundred million dollar
jet go play the jet that recently came in from
the UAE.

Speaker 4 (19:08):
So oh yeah, yeah, you understand, like we're we're Gaza.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
Is the part of Gaza where they're gonna put like
Trump buildings and stuff.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
No, no, no, no, Like he said, he's a tweet
he put out one time with a weird video.

Speaker 4 (19:20):
I think he's part of the piece, the piece, whatever
that group is he's got there where everyone's donating ten
million dollars or ten billion dollars to be part of the.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
Board of or he is actually bored with peace right now.
He's not gonna win the Peace Prize this year. You
declare war on an attack and kill a bunch of folks.

Speaker 5 (19:38):
But you have to understand, we're allied with like Saudi Arabia,
the UA Dubai, you know those are, but those are
our guys in that region and they are diametrically opposed
to Iran due to various religious reasons, territorial reasons.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
So he's taking a.

Speaker 4 (19:55):
Step for the Ryan though, So Israel and then Yahoo
has been trying to convince every one of the last
let's say five American presidents to do this. He's tried
to have this argument with every single one of our presidents.
Trump is only one that listened to him.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Okay, Remember this.

Speaker 4 (20:10):
Was a coordinated effort between Israel and the United States,
this attack, and Israel wants to be the king of
that part of the world, right, so they're gonna they
want to topple anyone that they think. Now, that's not
to say that the powers that be that were in
Iran that the that I told us that they haven't

(20:31):
been awful to their people, because they have. They have been,
and that have been absolutely have been. That's one of
the things that I tried to do over the weekend
is more than anything, I listened to Iranians. I listened
to American Iranians. I listened to their stories, and yes,
the Iyahtolahs and this regime of people there have been
absolutely awful. So on one hand, if you listen to them,
they're thankful for this, but they're also terrified because they're

(20:53):
not wanting to be colonized right now, and so that's
the duality of what's happening there.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
But I thought one of the the folks that are
big Donald Trump lover, one of the reasons they voted
him in was because he was preaching, Hey, listen, we
don't want to get involved with foreign wars, you know
America first, we don't want to you know, we don't
want to get involved with the game change. That was
one of the things he ran on. Yeah, but then
it gets in the way of making money. That's why
they got to money is so so you follow the

(21:20):
line somewhere money is involved, yeah, yeah, money and resources.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
Yeah, you know. Meanwhile, get ready for three dollars gasoline. Yeah,
I guess gas is gonna go up today. They're saying already,
it is already going up. Yeah, because something in that area.
There's the I forget where a shipping lane. Shipping lane
is gonna be closed down. They've already they I am
watching a tanker on fire in the straight up.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Can't be happened in that fast. If I learned anything
from a flock of seagulls, is like Iran.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
So far away, how can it happen? Hey, I just
learned this Iran, right, Yeah, I just learned this on
the texting service. Correct me if I'm but someone's saying, hey, rest,
you're such a dumb dumb that Greece and Italy are
the Middle East? Is that considered the Middle East?

Speaker 5 (22:12):
The Greek Greek, Greece is the Mediterranean? But like, so
I ran to like Greece would be like from Orlando
to Ohio, like they're relatively close.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
Yeah, the proximity, it's proximity. I think of what the
guy was trying to say. So that's why my my
wife is so worried about it. You know, that part
of the world is really uh like a lot of
those those countries and nations are a lot closer than
what you think.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Okay, man, so there's Iran right here, right, and then
there's Greece.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
So there, where's Greece all right there?

Speaker 4 (22:39):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (22:40):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah that is yeah. Oh god, I
was preaching he let's just go baby, let's live life.

Speaker 5 (22:48):
I didn't really, man, Greece to Israel is the other
side of the Mediterranean Sea, you know, but it's like
it's like flying to.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
The Ohio basically.

Speaker 5 (23:00):
Yeah, oh yeah, because you look on the map, I
mean Florida and Ohio. It's about about the same distance
Greece to Iran Iraq.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
Yeah. Yeah, There are a lot of people that are
saying they believe that Trump did this because you know
of the Epstein files and it's a distraction or whatever.
I don't believe that.

Speaker 5 (23:20):
It is funny to see all those old videos of
him going like Obama's numbers is so low, He's gonna
start a war with Iras.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
I'm saying, this guy's this guy's stuff, for lack of
a better term, has had hard on to do this
for it since because he was criticized on Obama because
he thought Obama was going to take his idea. This
has been his idea. He's had this in his head
all the way since back then. And I get it
that you're like, there's no way that this guy would
do this to distract us from the Epstein files. But
when it starts becoming more and more and more apparent

(23:48):
that he's not only involved, but he's actually probably at
the center of some of the investigations where you start
realizing how the FBI is leaving out key pieces of
information from people that are putting him there with with
young people, then again, this guy's capable of anything. But Angel,
I am convinced. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
We could disagree, but I am convinced that these hardcore Trumpers,
no matter what, if they he got caught with a
sixteen year old, they would come up with an excuse
for it. They wouldn't care.

Speaker 4 (24:17):
They don't. I agree with you because you just had
a guy that he texted you. Oh, you wouldn't care
if he did something good. You just you just hate
Trump Ross, you know.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
And I admitted that you're right, like, like, you need
to point out when he does something good because to me,
everything he does is wrong and bad because of the
way he speaks to people and the way he treats people.
And like, like, I'm definitely jaded. I admit that I
am definitely jaded. And you can call it whatever syndrome
you want. I am definitely one of those guys that
no matter what he says.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
I don't like it.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
So h but if he does something good, let me know.
I mean, I'd love to know.

Speaker 5 (24:47):
I have to admit on paper though, because we like
you know, we haven't been America World Police in a minute,
but that is what we used to dip. So we've
gone into Venezuela under dictatorship. Take that guy out, try
to give them a chance.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
We're going into and now that and now that's back
pages and we're not talking about that.

Speaker 5 (25:05):
Now we're going into Iran, take out a dictator that
we've been a problem for a long time, and trying
to help those people.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
But this was not also in America, he said we're
going to a peace will take over of Cuba.

Speaker 4 (25:16):
Yeah, this is not okay, this is not America.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
I did not know what we were doing to Cuba
until like the other days.

Speaker 4 (25:20):
So a couple things there. This is not the first
time that America has been in any of these countries.
Right So, in nineteen fifty three, America is the responsible
for democracy falling in uh in Iran, right so, and
we've been involved in toppling different dictators in Venezuela, what
we're doing to Cuba, and none of that was ever
for the better. It was never better after our involvement.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
But it's it's it's totally against the America first thing,
which is what all the Trumpers voted him in for.
Right it was supposed to be just worrying about America.
America first, We're not going to worry about other countries.

Speaker 4 (25:51):
We're not, but can't.

Speaker 5 (25:53):
We wouldn't put in America first, be taking out terrorist
regimes that would affect us and get Americans killed.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
I mean that's the argument, right, that's what that's what
the that's what they say, and like, yeah, well we
didn't mean when we said America first, I'm not I
can get involved and get involved in any wars. We
didn't mean really, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (26:11):
I don't know, man, I'm not in the Pentagon right, Like,
I'm just a guy that has read it, you know
what I mean, Like and just the regular old internet.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
So I don't know what's going on, and I have
to I like to.

Speaker 5 (26:22):
Believe that the people in charge have a better view
perview of like what's actually happening in the world, and
they would have the best interest of the American people
in mind.

Speaker 4 (26:32):
Do you really think so, I have to. That's not
your but that's not your normal thought process. What if
they've done that and that would give you confidence in
seeing what you just said, Yeah, I'm gonna get a
tariff check I think soon.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
Okay, comedy comedy aside, great line, but what have they
done that makes it gives you confidence. You have to
admit that I ran.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
It has been a threat to the US, but to
that region.

Speaker 4 (26:57):
No, in general, No, I don't. And they've been in check.
That's that. That's the thing when you when you eliminate
the top person, then you create a power vacuum. We
did the same thing to Kadafi. We did the same
thing with Saddam, and it was never better after those
Look at those cut parts of the world, look at
them today and look at them before our involvement. They're
not better.

Speaker 5 (27:17):
They got taco bells. Now, I don't know you ever
had an Afghani taco bell.

Speaker 4 (27:23):
I have not. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
Now, there are a lot of Iranian Americans that are
thrilled about what Donald Trump.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
Yeah, no, that's what I mean. The main thing I
tried to do over the weekend is is listen to
them uh Iranian Americans. And again, I mean there was
there was a celebration and protests in Los Angeles, there
was a protest here in Orlando. And by and large,
again the Iotolas, they're no saints here. They're they're you know,
they're they're not. They don't have a great track record

(27:50):
with their people, and they were really you know, uh,
hurting and killing protesters in the last few months, and there,
you know, so there's that part of it. But they're
also saying, and you know, talking at the same time, hey,
thanks for this, but also we're terrified of this because
we're not trying to be colonized by you. You know.
So again it's a it's a double dead sword. Someone says,

(28:14):
more big dumb fun Please don't talk.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
About the war. Sometimes. We got to talk about what's
going on in the world.

Speaker 4 (28:19):
War. It's a war. War word war. You got a war.

Speaker 3 (28:23):
And if you want to point out the good part,
so then I need to hear it, because all I'm
seeing is it looks this looks bad.

Speaker 5 (28:33):
Wars never good. I don't ever like going having people
killed in other countries. But like you again, Iran is
launching missiles at other countries all the time.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
The fact that Israel isn't completely destroyed is because Israel
has had.

Speaker 5 (28:45):
To build an their quote unquote iron dome where they
can shoot down most of the missiles that are shot
dead walls.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
All the time, Iran was hours away from signing another
peace agreement with the West. Right, Iran was should have
been late. They were in the process of doing it.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
So, okay, who are the allies to Iran? It is
it Russia and China? Are they their allies?

Speaker 4 (29:10):
Historically business partners, so that's who they sell a majority
of their oil too.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
I mean, am I out of line by thinking, oh,
I'm afraid of a World War three?

Speaker 4 (29:19):
That is that out of line?

Speaker 3 (29:20):
Is that? Is that jumping to far ahead?

Speaker 4 (29:23):
It's I mean, the theory is it's going to be
a skirmish like this that would pull in, pull everybody in.

Speaker 5 (29:28):
But we've been in a skirmish like this for like
again the last twenty years. This is what we did
in Afghanistan and Russian you know, Iran, All those people
had that problem with that too. I don't know, Okay,
I know we're a big power and with great power.
Angel I heard this.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
I made this up.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
With great power comes great responsibility, right, I made that up.
Write that down?

Speaker 4 (29:51):
Hey, another question.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
So the President of the United States, and once again
I'm admitting, guys, I got the Trump Trump durngent ceremon
whatever you call the calls, you know, like, but he
puts out a video on his version of of of
the it's just truth. So it's like on his social
media platform is where he announced to the world we

(30:16):
went to Iran. Is that not problematic?

Speaker 4 (30:19):
He didn't.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
He didn't.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
He didn't do ah.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
You know, he didn't say, listen, let's let's talk to
all the media. I'm gonna do a live press conference.
I'm gonna tell you what's gonna go on. He went
to his Truth social which he owns, which he benefits
from by making a an announcement for the world that, hey,
America just went to war with Iran. Only put it
on there. Does anyone else see that as a problem?

Speaker 5 (30:42):
Uh No, I mean, like I had to watch a
twenty second my pillow ad before it played.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
Though. That's fine.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
I mean, like, that's not an issue that, Hey, the
President the United States is using his own personal Twitter
account thing that he started the fake news. Yeah, you
go to the news and you have a press conference,
you know, up at an official thing.

Speaker 5 (31:04):
President of the United States should not be behold into
the news network.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Okay, I guess I'm crazy, crazy, I guess.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
I mean it's called truth Socialist.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
So that's true. That's not an issue with anybody. It's
it's okay that he's going to announce worldwide history making
news only on his social network.

Speaker 5 (31:25):
That he owns, but the news he knows the news
is going to pick it up, you know, Like all
the news feeds were playing that video from his things.
It seems dirty to me, man, it seems like you're
gonna take questions though.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
Just don't seem right.

Speaker 4 (31:38):
I mean, call me crazy, I don't know. Uh, it's weird,
but it's you know. I mean, so we all just
accepted that now. So I was going to say to
to for this to be the day that we make
take exception to him doing all his policies through true
Social He's been doing that for a minute now.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
No, no, this is the first time he had a
major innouncement like that and it went to no other
It didn't go to ABC, NBC, CBS, and nobody didn't
go to Fox. He did it on his truth social
which he owns, which he knows it's gonna.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
Make more people. Point is par for the course.

Speaker 5 (32:13):
It's either regular people saying hey I just made a cheeseburger,
or people or the president going hey, I'm striking another country.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
But imagine if Obama did that right and he had
his own like I got my own Twitter and and
I'm only going to announce important stuff on my own
Twitter where I make money. People would lose their minds.

Speaker 5 (32:32):
Uh, I mean yeah, but a lot of things Obama
couldn't do that people get away with now.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
So I don't know. The hubbub with Obama was like.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
He bore a brown shoot one. Remember that. People still
talk about, how dare he do that?

Speaker 3 (32:46):
All right, you're listening to the Match of the morning.
Really want them out of the match this morning's.

Speaker 4 (32:59):
Whereber you know?

Speaker 3 (33:00):
One on four point one? Hey Friday, you know I
remember we were going back and forth. Friday, My god,
it's gonna rain. I probably don't want to go to
the Strawberry Festival. Blah blah blah blah. End up going
you know what, I'm gonna roll the dice. Let's go
on out there. Come on, let's go to the Strawberry Festival.
Let's check it out. And uh man, we hit it
just perfectly. We went and saw And this is someone

(33:22):
you were may or may not remember. You know, jo
d Messina right a Jody Messina concert. She's got some
hits that people know from the I think it was
the nineties, some nineties hits.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
And she hasn't had a new album out in ten years.
She did something at the concert that I've never seen
before or heard before. You know, I've never seen an
act do it, and it really worked well. So you
know how when you go to a concert and they're
singing the hits, you know, you're you're paying attention to
the hits. And then once they say, hey, I've got
some new songs that we're gonna do, everybody runs and

(33:56):
goes to get a he goes at break, Yeah, beer break.
Nobody want to hear the new stuff. She did something
that I had never seen before or heard. She said, listen,
I haven't done an album in ten years, and you know,
and I've.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
Got new songs.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
Now.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
I know you want to run to the bathroom right now,
I said, but let me just give you just a
little bit of it. You know, it's just a taste, right,
And so she would she would sit three new songs,
but she only sang a little bit of it, got
to the hook and they would stop the song and
everybody was like, oh, you know, like they left them
wanting more. Right. Let people were yelling for her to

(34:30):
finishing songs. No, no, no, not gonna finish it. You're
gonna have to go get it yourself. And it was
really funny the way that she did it, and all
three of the songs that she did that were new
I'd never heard before. It made me want to go
hear the whole song. I've never seen that done before.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
Wall's credit to her for like engaged in the audience
that way and being up front of it. I think
what turns off most audience members is that the band
will try to be slick about it.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
Yeah, she was not slip. She said, listen, I know
you don't like new stuff, but I haven't done a
song at ten year. Here here's the first and the
first one was like some bridges need to be burned.
And she got to the chorus and she got to
that part and then stopped it. She goes and everybody
said whoa, and they were cheering for more, which nobody
ever does that. Nobody ever cheers for more of the
new song, right, And she did three songs like that

(35:17):
and stopped right when it got good. Kind of okay,
if you hey, listen, if you want to hear it,
you have to get the album. And it was it
was very clever and she was very likable and what
was it turnout like? Okay, it looked like it was
gonna rain. Turnout was fairly good. I would say half
of the stadium out at the Strawberry Festival was filled.
It was a three point thirty show. I ran into

(35:39):
Poppy d out there, which is funny.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
But I was the reason. I asked us because the rain,
I mean, completely decimated, so I had to do. I
was mceing Battle of Bands at the Central Florida Fair.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
How that go?

Speaker 4 (35:50):
It was the bands and I'll share the bands with
you guys later on throughout or throughout the day because
the fantastic group of bands that showed up and I
did it. But because of the way that the rain
could by that time and night it had started raining russ.
It was affected the attendance of the whole fair.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
Yeah, I think it affected the attendance for this concert
as well, because people brought their umbrellas and stuff and
they were ready for rain. We did get It did
sprinkle on us a little bit.

Speaker 4 (36:16):
What time were there?

Speaker 3 (36:17):
Three thirty? Uh and and we left before the end
of the show because it started to rain a little bit.
But we got in and out pretty pretty well. Strawberry
Festival is nice. It's all clean, and a lot of
people were there. Uh, but yeah, I had a good time.
But I had never seen that approach before. Was someone going,
you know, listen, I'm gonna do a little bit of

(36:39):
the song and once it got to the hook, the
kind of fun part, she stopped it and it made
you want more. A lot of people were sending me
texts about Gene Simmons was out at the Sea World,
Uh doing what Yeah, you know what he was doing, singing, drifting,
singing an Ace Freely song. It was someone sent me
of him doing rocket Ride, which is not his songs.

(37:00):
It's a kiss song, but it's Ace. That's Ace a
song and it's a kiss song. Yeah, it doesn't matter,
you know, after he said horrible things about Ace, right
you know, after his funeral and then to play. I
don't know, man, I'm just I'm pretty pissed off a
Gene right now. So they want to know if I
wanted to interview him, and I said no, I didn't
want to talk to him. Wow, promote your own thing.

(37:23):
Promote your own thing. You know.

Speaker 4 (37:24):
It's like, uh, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
But a kiss song, man, you can't I don't think
you can do that, and I don't see.

Speaker 4 (37:31):
How you can.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
Like it is not that's an Ace Freely song, a kiss.

Speaker 4 (37:35):
It's on Kiss albums.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
It's on Kiss Alive too, and it's Ace a song
and he's never done it before.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
Now Ace is dead and he's doing it's done it before.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
Yeah, No, No they didn't. They didn't they.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Play it live. They don't play Rocket Ride.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
They didn't play Rocket Ride live. No, you know, they
do shock me and he and I guess he also
did shock me. He did like two A songs and
it's like, man, you just do it. I don't know
it so feels like dirty pool, Yeah, especially after he
was trashing him after after he died and talking about
how you know, he had so many problems with the
drugs and alcohol, and like, man, this is not the

(38:08):
time to say all that. What are you doing? So
I'm still uh, I'm still mad at him.

Speaker 4 (38:14):
That's just me.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
Okay, sure, do we have a we have we have
prizes today?

Speaker 4 (38:21):

couple of really cool prizes.
