Speaker 1 (00:00):
Donny Yats The Morning News ninety three WIBC. My name
(00:04):
is Craig Collins. Feeling in thrilled to be with you,
Matt and Carl, hanging out as they do every single
morning on this show. We have a popcorn moment from
Booer remodeling. We'll go ahead and throw out there from
one of my favorite senators, Senator John Kennedy. So it's
time for a popcorn moment, all right.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
This one is just.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Like two and a half minutes of remarkable Senator Kennedy
being Senator Kennedy.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I'll play the beginning.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
In the end, I will play him calling democrats all
kinds of things, and then eventually, toward the end of
this audio, he talks specifically about Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I love all this.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
This is, you know, calling it what it is, you know,
seeing something for the issues that they actually have. Just
being an honest, frank talking person is another way to
say it.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Here we go, Yes, And I listened to your monologue, Sean,
with all of these different characters. You know, I thought
to myself, even Doug tape can't fix stupid, you can.
I know Miss Wallace I watched her a little bit.
I remember when she worked for President Bush. I suppose
(01:11):
she's not as bad as some members of the liberal media.
But that's faint praise. That's like, it's like being the
smartest person on the view. I'm going to give miss
Wallace the benefit of the doubt and assume that she
said what she said right after her mourning beer. The
(01:32):
Democrats have they have accused the president President Trump of
everything except abandoning his children to wolves. They repeatedly, they
daily call him a racist and I'm Nazi.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, they do.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
That's fantastic stuff from Senator Kennedy. And here here's a
little bit more where he actually talks about Chuck Schumer,
specifically Senator Schumer.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
It was an economist you gov poll which is very
left of center the American people and the American people's
opinion Senator Schumer is a He's a wet match in
a dark cave. He polls right up there with clubbing
baby Skeet Seals. He's got a thirty percent approval rating,
(02:17):
a sixty percent disapproval rating, and ten percent of folks
polls just didn't want to pause their video games to answer.
I love that part due by the way his video
games are important. The Matt and Craig Excellent Podcast will
often talk about video games. In case you're curious about that.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Thank you, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I left that.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I left that in so that I could transition to it,
but anyway, just to get back to it for the
popcorn moment, I thought that Senator Kennedy was once again
hilarious and a typical Senator Kennedy and how he does
other things out there. And as I said, Matt and
Carl hanging out on the show, I like they do
every single morning. And also I like they do on
the Matt Creg Excellent Podcast, which is available at WIBC
(02:57):
dot com if you want to check it out. Are you,
guys familiar with what the bird theory is?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
To either of you? Have you heard of this?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I have not heard of the bird theory.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Craig No, okay, I'm going to explain the bird theory
real quick. It's a viral trend in social media. Mostly
women are doing this to guys. You pretend that you
saw a bird, and you pretend that you were excited
about it. So your significant other comes home and you
look at the guy and you're like, hey, I saw
a bird today and that's all you say, and then
you videotape their response. And if the guy acts like
(03:28):
he cares, he's like, well kind of bird, Oh my god,
that's so cool, even though it's a nonsense, you know, discussion,
then he obviously cares about you, he loves you, he's
a keeper. If he doesn't care, if he doesn't really
pay attention, he goes ah or whatever, then apparently you
should dump him immediately. That is the bird theory and
the bird test that's going viral on the internet. I
think it's unfair for a very specific reason, and I'll
(03:50):
tell you guys what that is.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
But first, does anyone else want to react to this?
Speaker 5 (03:53):
I want to be with a woman that's going to
dump me for doing this challenge, I really do. It's
just just for doing this alone in the fact that
we might have other things to talk about when we
get home from work.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
No, I mean, it's cool. If this is a bonding experience,
go do it.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
I understand that this is what the kids are doing
these days, and it's very social media.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Ask and you know, you can kind of do a little, you.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Know, a little bragging about your relationship and everything else,
and maybe it does create a bonding. But to me,
it's just kind of nonsense. I mean, for me, thank
you to want to do that in the planet. And
I think the spouse, if they just came home from
a very hard day, would be like, what the hell
are you doing to me?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I thought you were on my side, right yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Why are you trying mayah?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Why are you making me work more right now? Why
are you doing this to me?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
That's interesting.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
The reason I think that this is silly is because
I can pay attention really well sometimes and not pay
attention really well other times. And it has nothing to
do with my wife. It's what you just said a
second ago. It's you know, if I had a hard day,
if my brain is somewhere else. And so some of
these videos that I saw that when viral were like
the guy is doing like three things. He's washing dishes,
(04:56):
he's doing something else, and then the woman yells from
the other room I saw a bird today, and the
guy doesn't respond well to it, Like, come on, dude,
you got to at least be fair in some sense,
I would think you need to have a couple shots
at this. If you do it two or three times,
and all three times the dude completely disregards you, then
maybe he doesn't care about you. But if it's a
one off and potentially your brain is elsewhere, we all
(05:19):
do that, especially when you're I think, every day around
a person, a person that you love and care about.
But if you're around them all the time, like I
don't even pay attention to stuff that I do.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I'll turn on the television and not even watch it.
You know, it'll just be on. And that's something I
did because my brain is somewhere else. You know, it happens.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I think this is unfair to a degree. I'm defending
men on this topic.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Well done.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
I think this is a very arbitrary way to judge
a relationship. You know, what relationship you've been in for
several years. And I get it if you're an influencer
couple and you met through influencing, and that's what you
do when you're on TikTok and Instagram and you're making
some bank on that, and that's kind of your relationship,
the nation of your relationship.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Yeah, oh, ner power to you.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
I don't tell anybody how to make their money, but
to me, if you just all of a sudden start
doing this, then you're saying, maybe your relationships in trouble
and you try to put a spoke into it, and
just doesn't seem like the best way to do that,
says the guy who's never been married in his life.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
There you go, Yeah, that's fine, perfect, perfect analysis, Matt.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
By the way, one other quick thing, a quick story
before we take a break. One in eight people says
they've at one point in their life lived in a
haunted house just before Halloween. Good lord, I like the
laughter I just heard from both of you guys on this.
I don't believe in ghosts.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I believe.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I've said that on this program before, I've said it
on other programs.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I am Catholic. I believe in God and stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I don't want people to think that I'm trying to
go anti religious, but I don't believe in ghosts.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
And the way that I handle it on the radio, as.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I say, if ghosts exists, one of them should haul
off and punch me in the face just one time,
because I've been crapping on you guys for years now
on the radio.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Just once hit me in the face. I deserve it.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
It's never happened, not once, as a ghost hit me
in the face, so I contend they're still not real.
But Matt, what do you want to say about one
in eight people living in a haunted.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Out I think that ghost are real. Good.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Just show me take a finger while I'm sleeping. Just
take a finger. Don't punch me in the face. I
want real proof. I mean, anybody, anybody can punch me
in the face while I'm sleeping. But if you take
your finger, dude, we're on the what finger, the one
I don't use the pinky finger? Okay, yes, I think
that's reasonable. That's reasonable. We're not going to do any possession.
We're not going to be spitting up you know what
(07:25):
eight or anything like that, or peace soup like they
do in the exercise, and they did it well, but
just something you know, arbitrary, like take a pinky boo.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
By the way, I want to be specific. This is
not a me thing ghosts. This is a matte thing.
I want to keep all my fingers.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I just want to face you wake up with missing
a finger.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, I don't want that.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
If the ghost takes my finger, I have proof of
the afterlife and I'm making money.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
That's try and lots of money.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Or you're a member of the yakuza. Yeah, either so
I'm pretty cool. Actually I'm good with Eitheruza. That wouldn't
be very good.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
By the way, if they had to take anything from me,
i'd go pinky toe. I'd never go pikine. Definitely tell
before finger. All right, this is this is Tony Kats
in the Morning News. I don't know what we're doing sometimes,
but you can hear some stuff like this on the
Matt and Craig excellent podcast if you want to check
it out. Thank thanks sir. WIBC dot com is a
great place to check that out. Matt's got traffic for us.
