Speaker 1 (00:04):
Tony Katz the More News ninety three WIBC.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Yes, I mentioned Matt and I's podcast already on the show,
and it might.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Come up a few more times.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I'm not sure if it's on the rundown somewhere to
mention it, but I'll get it in. There's a lot
of stuff to talk about. I'm Matt and Craig excellent
podcast among them. At some point, CNN's Henry Etten yet
again demonstrated that things are not going as poorly for
Republicans as Democrats want them to during this ridiculous shutdown.
I want to make this clear every time I fill
(00:36):
in for Tony or talk about this anywhere, I say
this part because I don't want to be a hypocrite.
I'm not really all that mad the government is shut down.
I'm mad at the way it's happening. I'm mad at
the way that Democrats are doing exactly the thing that
they always chastise Republicans for potentially doing from time to time,
Like I'm annoyed at the hypocrisy of all this. But
(00:57):
the government shut down part and Trump potentially trying to
fire some people because of it, and then actually a
federal judge. I think getting in the way and stopping
it is stuff that I'm interested in seeing play out.
I don't want the average American to be in pain,
so I should say that too. I know that a
lot of Republicans are now saying that the shutdown is
hurting people on Main Street and that that's bad. Of
(01:19):
course it's bad, and that they should care more about it.
Democrats should, and of course they should. All those things
are true, But again, there's so much bloat in Washington,
d C. That government shutting down in and of itself
is never something that truly makes me mad, especially if
the soldiers are getting paid. If all of the people
that serve and protect this country are getting cash getting money,
(01:41):
they're not getting cash properly getting checks, then something is
okay in my book. As far as figuring all this out,
I'm not supporting Democrats in the shutdown, by the way.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I want that to be clear.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I'm just not going to pretend as though I'm as
mad about it now that Democrats are doing it. If
I wouldn't be mad at all if Republicans were doing it.
I just want to be clear about that. I don't
know why I keep saying and doing this, by the way,
but anyway, CNN's political analysts dove into some data and
demonstrated that Republicans not doing poorly. Actually, a lot of
(02:11):
polls say things are going quite well for the Republican
Party as far as approval ratings go, probably because of
the sentiment I just shared and I just said, and
a lot of people on this side of the aisle
feeling that way that the people that were least worried
about oftentimes work in Washington, DC.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Starting with Republicans, How has the shutdown seemed to have
affected their political standing?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, you might think, given that the Republicans are in
charge of both the House and the Senate, that a
government shutdown might actually hurt the Republican brand, But in
fact it hasn't. If anything, it's been helped a little bit.
Take a look here the shift in net popularity versus
pre shutdown among the g when we're looking at the
Republican Party overall, that brand actually up two points. That's
within the margin envirop but clearly it hasn't druck come
(02:52):
over this side of the screen. Look at the net
approval ratings for Republicans in Congress. It's actually up five
points since pre shutdown.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Here's the REPO brand, and Congress.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Has actually improved somewhat compared to where we were.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
How could that be possible?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I love the way that CNN says that and seems
shocked by this information. By the way, one of the
other reasons that I think this could be true is
that a lot of people do see Democrats as the
people causing the shutdown, because they are they've voted thirteen
times against reopening it the way that normally these sort
of things inevitably end, because yes, of course we've been
through shutdowns before. Inevitably, you just fund the government at
(03:29):
current levels, You pass a bill that doesn't have any
extra bacon in it, any extra pork in it, any
extra anything, and all of a sudden things go back
to normal, and then Washington keeps fighting over stupid stuff
as it normally does, but the Democrats refuse to do
that this time. People thought it was at first because
of the no King's protests that happened, and now they're
not really sure what Democrats are doing. I think Democrats
(03:51):
aren't really sure what they're doing, and yeah, it's going
to start to cause more and more pain in places
that are not good snap benefits for people who depend
on that food. You know, people who depend on certain
medical things are going to start to have more and
more problems because of government shutdown. And that's on the
heels of the Democrats. And they're honestly the party that
oftentimes fights and yells about this and says how they
(04:14):
need to protect these sort of things. So I think
that's why it's hurting them more. Their brand is closely
tied to the idea that they want to prevent shutdowns,
and now they're causing one. And Republicans, as I said,
maybe not just me, but a whole lot of us,
I don't really care. We don't care. We don't want
people to be in pain. I'm not saying that I
don't want anyone to walk away from the show being
(04:34):
like Man Collins, that guy who filled in for Tony
Katz is such a jerk, because it's not that I
don't want people to be in pain, but I would
love the end result of a shutdown to be a
whole bunch of people in government that jobs are unnecessary
to be fired, to be very fired. Maybe fire them
Apprentice style Trump comes back to do that and just
says you're fired.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
You're fired, You're fired, across the board. It would be wonderful.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
We'd save a bunch of money, all right, quick break,
A lot coming up. Craig Collins filling in, Tony Kats
The Morning News, ninety three WIBC.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Nice bump song.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Tony Kat's The Morning News ninety three WIBC. My name
is Craig Collins filling in.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
You got Matt.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
You have Carl hanging out as they do every single
morning on this show. I want to play a clip
from a Newsmax that has political slant and stuff in it,
but I'm actually most amused at just the most macro
concept in this. So a host on Newsmax and I'm
not even going to say his name is he's about
to say it in the clip is criticizing the way
that some people in media shift into an accent when
(05:35):
they say the names of people from other countries, like
even if the person's not born in that other country,
if they're a person from here, but like a Spanish name,
all of a sudden, you do this crazy, ridiculous accent.
And this host is mocking that idea, and I found
this to be incredibly entertaining the idea of this because
you see it a lot, and I've actually worked with
people in this industry who prided themselves undoing it, like
(05:58):
shifting into certain accents, and it's funny. The basic question
is why don't we do it for other nationalities? If
we do it for some, why don't we do it
for more? Here's the clip itself, and then we'll discuss
or also he not, but I taught me out he
said it. I couldn't understand what he was saying.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
As I've said before, I am irish and if I
was moderating that debate with the host to introduce me
as Robert James Finnerty, don't you know that it's a
lad that is Robert James Finnerty.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Okay, I find that wildly of music, a lot of
people are saying there's like insensitive aspects to it and stuff.
Those people are probably annoying and on a certain side
of the political aisle. But anyway, Matt Behar, do you
want to react to the idea that a lot of
people in media they do suddenly have an accent when
they say a certain name and not other ones.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Man, we could go further, Well, I.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
Think they should try to do like the hardest one
and that's Mandarin. Yeah, you're right, that would be impressive.
It would be I would assume that if you're doing
a local accent, that you're trying to appeal to the
local popular as such, say you have a heavy Hispanic population,
and then yeah, you're going to put on that accent,
and in that case, I can see it work you.
Otherwise you're just showing off, right man, Right, I can
(07:10):
speak another language, which is super cool, but you just
kind of dropping it like that. It's it's not yeah, okay,
you're showing off, is what you.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I love that you said showing off, man, because now
I'm going to talk about one of the most jealous
things that I felt in the world of broadcasting. It's
not even broadcasting, it's barely it's like tangentially broadcasting. I
was the public address announcer for the South Bend Silverhawks,
oh which now that they're now the South Bend Cubs,
by the way, and I had a guy who would
fill in for me.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I was the main announcer. He was the other guy.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Whenever he'd do an accent on, you know, like an
r roll or something for some of the names on
the baseball team. He'd dives so deep into it and
I'd hear about it, be like, man, that was incredible
and I couldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
It was showing off.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
You didn't need that from the PA guy all of
a sudden, here like you know somebody's name and have
the role r last for five seconds.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Come on, man, you could have sticked it up. You
could have hit the internet like, I can't do it
like this guy. But man, he could really dig into
that accent.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Well, dude, an Emilio Bona Fassio played for that team.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
So just again, let's.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Think about the fact that this other guy who would
throw on the accent would say the name Emilio Bona
Fasio once every nine at bats.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
Let's hear you do it? Can you do the.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I can really here? Yeah, no, no, I do it.
I do it very you know, American guy. I just
yelled Bona Fassio for a while and then I'm done.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
Do it a bust an accent. Dude.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
By the way, it's an incredible name to announce.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I will say that if you want to try it
at some point, Matt Amilio bona Fasio is made for
the PA announcer.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Facio's that's not Spanish. I didn't do a good job.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
It's awkward. We're on the radio, we're just having a conversation.
Any of us could do it, and we have the microphones,
like we could yell the name, but it's it's awkward.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
And you know what's funny too. I'll tell you one
other thing about this. This isn't important, but I can't
help it.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
My wife bragged about my PA job when I met
her family in Mexico, like that's one of the things
she bragged about because they all love baseball. And then
every single time that it comes up with my family
in another country, they all ask me to do it.
They're like, oh, do do the thing, and I'm like, guys,
I'm a dude standing here. I don't have a microphone,
I don't have anything. It's not going to be cool.
(09:23):
And they're like, no, but yell at yell our name.
And then I do it and it's never cool. Everyone
looks at it like, ah, man, why did we ask
him to do that?
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Is this the same crowd that walks up to you
on family dinners and says like, hey, what do you
think of redistricting or how's immigration? I'd expect you to
go into maybe a five minute segment all of a
sudden under your take.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
On redistricting and immigration.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Here.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
You know, you're expect you have to perform for the people, Craig,
Come on, does.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
That happen to you?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Do you get asked to do kind of things broadcasting
things when you're around people.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
Nobody asked me to do anything.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
It's a beautiful I don't know about that. The Matt
and Crag excellent podcast, that's going to do a lot
of what you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Two on the board already this morning.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah, I am wondering at some point if I'm going
to get a note from management being like Craig, we
love the enthusiasm with the Matt and Craig Excellent podcast.
It is not written to be promoted that often when
you're filling in for Tony Kats in the morning news.
But Matt's here man, and the second episode was so good.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
It was so good.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
It's now you can find a wiv C DO guy.
That's something you can apologize for later, Craig, Don't worry. Yeah,
you know that that falls into that category. Wait until
they say something, then you're.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Awesome fantastic other things out there.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Did you guys watch either of you guys watched the
eighteen inning baseball game from the other day.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
No.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
I heard all about it though, like, wow, yeah, eighteen
it was like a six hours but the longest game
in World Series history?
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Did I hear that? Correct? It was tied? Yeah, it
was how you tie it was?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah, it was tied with another game with the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Oh, I thought you meant that it was when they
say it was tied, like it was like a six
hour and eighteen minute.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
Game again another eighteen eighteen I got it on.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yeah, yeah, no, yeah, there are two games of that
length and both of them included the Dodgers both times.
I think the Dodgers won the game too, which probably
annoys people even more. But I watched all of it,
and the funniest part was like the progression of watching
it in today's world with the technology we have. Because
I started on my projector in my living room, which
I have a nice projector that I like a lot.
(11:22):
Then I went upstairs to the bedroom with the misses,
and then at some point during the game, she started
elbowing me, like turn this off, you go off, because
it was way too late at night, and so I
turned it off and I put it on my cell
phone and flipped my cell phone, you know, on the
side as I'm in bed and watch the rest of
it on my phone. And so it was like a
progression of hiding while watching the baseball game as it
(11:42):
continued to go.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Man, oh man, did you shout at two o'clock in
the morning when the home run?
Speaker 6 (11:47):
I did?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I did. I don't like either team, so like, I
don't want anyone to win. Which someone's to win?
Speaker 5 (11:52):
This six hours of your time if you don't like
either team because.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
It's the World Series, Carl, because I can't.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I can't stop myself from this sort of thing, especially
when it goes that long and it's that kind of
a crazy plus show.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Hey, Otani is a thing that people need to watch.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
That's almost a household hinge that I can't say because
I am bignerant, But yeah, listen what you're watching with
some of the baseball going on now, and this could
apply to everybody. I mean, I've been following in a
fan of baseball all my life, and to see a
player like this is unprecedented, just what he can do.
(12:28):
And I know the NFL has players that are doing
both offensive defense now and that's kind of the thing
and they're trying to get into that, and you know,
it's a better payday for the players. But sure this
Otani to be a pitcher and a hitter and to
be so effective at both is totally unprecedented. So there's
that catch with the World Series right now, even for
people in Indiana who really don't care about the Dodgers
(12:49):
and don't care about the Blue Jays, but baseball happening,
so you know it does it does have a value
to us, and that's that's cool, man.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
I dig that well.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
And to be honest, dude, we've seen the NFL thing before,
as you said, like on Sanders was one of many
people who made that a big deal years ago, playing
both sides of the football. So is that really as
surprising now as show hey doing what only Babe Ruth
has done before. No, although he did give up four
runs last night and I think he struck out twice,
which for some reason I enjoyed.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
Take away a hundred million, but he's.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Still fine to take away one hundred he's still got
six hundred million dollars.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Remember how good Jordan was at baseball? You know that's
something to keep in mind.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Hey, hey, now, hey, what was that? Why?
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Why jus remember Jordan rides the bus he's a baseball player.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Now, that was such an Indiana shot at Michael Jordan's
if ever I ever heard one that was such a
pacer shot. All right, quick break, a lot coming up.
This is Craig Collins filling in and Tony Cats the
More News, Tony Kats The Morning News ninety three WIBC.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be
with you.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
A bunch of stuff out there to talk about. Lieutenant
Governor Micah Beckwith has been talking recently about the redistricting stuff,
encouraging us in Indiana to go ahead and do it.
And you might be scratching your head and thinking to yourself, man,
why are they talking about that so much? Why are
some people in positions of power discussing this? Micah specifically
may be talking about it to distract from the other
(14:11):
stuff going on with Micah beckw And this does you
should give an atta?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Boy?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Did the Kendall and Casey show and how they've been
reporting on some of these things that are now in
the news. I think News Nation did a story about
beckw and some of the stuff going on behind the scenes.
The grand jury that's deciding whether or not some bad
things are happening within that office. Kendall and Casey had
been talking about this for like about a month. I
think in the middle of September, they interviewed someone who'd
(14:37):
been fired from Beckwith's office. You can actually go find
that podcast, but talk to someone about the potential existence
of a deep fake AI video that depicted a state
representative's wife doing things that she wasn't doing adult video.
Horrible part of this the discussion about these alleged things,
(14:58):
and by the way, I think Beckwith has denied that
this video exists at all.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
So there's that.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
And as far as the grand jury and the decisions
they made in August and September about all of this stuff,
we have no update there as of now. Everything is
under seal. So whatever the grand jury discussed, however serious
these potential you know, things are, we still are missing
certain information that we'd like to have for sure. And
there's also now an allegation of ghost employment too, by
(15:25):
the way, that is where you're just, you know, embezzling money.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
It's just fraud.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
You pretend somebody exists, you cut them a paycheck, and
then somebody else is acquiring that money. Again, these are
all allegations. I can't tell you that any of this
is confirmed or whatever. Some of these are level six
felony kind of stuff, according to reporting on quite a
few places on this thing. What I really think is
interesting about this is that Beckwith is doing the two
(15:49):
things that most politicians do when they're potentially in a
whole lot of trouble. One of those things is to
dive on whatever the issue is that's national, that's getting
attention to national ends at a state level, of course,
and trying to be a huge proponent of it. So
Beckwith is now very much in support of any sort
of redistricting plan because he's hoping that that makes the
(16:09):
people who support conservatives like him more and you know, I,
at least in my opinion, like him more and kind
of push away from some of the more serious things
going on in his office. The other real big thing
that he's been doing that I think is interesting is
saying this is a witch hunt his response to a
lot of these stories are there's no video, it doesn't exist,
this is a witch hunt, These are you know, political
(16:31):
powers going after me, etc.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Etc.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
And oftentimes when politicians say that there's some level of
truth to it, I'm going to go ahead and put
that out there too. Oftentimes when someone gets accused of of,
you know, something in the public and does it to
the degree that they are doing it right now, with
some of these things, there's a motivating factor in it
becoming a public story in the first place. That doesn't
(16:55):
mean it's always not true. Sometimes it's very much true.
Sometimes it's very much fake lie.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
And the other thing that it always makes me.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Think, and this is in no way, shape or form
to try to excuse anything that Micah Beckwith is potentially doing,
but it makes me think that a lot of people
in politics, and I'm sure you think this too, are
incredibly dirty, and that it's very easy to find some
dirt on people if you want it. Case in point
is the FBI probe that's been going on that has
(17:22):
new information about it about how Biden's DOJ looked into.
I think it's like one hundred and fifty Republican politicians
it's just crazy. There's an update on a story that's
been breaking for a few months too.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
There.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
But again, to get back to the state stuff, to
get back to the Indiana stuff, and specifically the Micah
Beckwith stuff. If you keep hearing his name tied to
things like redistricting, tied to things that are Republican talking
points right now, my assumption would be that he's trying
very hard to pretend as though his house is not
on fire, and it seems right now even though a
(17:55):
lot of this is allegations that the house is on fire,
and if anybody knows anything about that, it's probably Rob
Kendall because he's been reporting on it along with Kendall
and Casey in that show for a couple months. So
I think that Carl producer Carl has done a great job,
Carl Showbiz of connecting with Rob. And I think we're
gonna have Rob on the show later on in about
a couple hours. All right, we'll take a break. A
(18:16):
lot coming up interesting interesting stories from the Lieutenant Governor's office.
Greg Collins filling in Tony Kat's The Morning News ninety
three WIBC. Tony Kat's The Morning News ninety three WIBC.
My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be
with you. You got Matt, you got Carl hangout as
they always do on this very show.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Are you guys cool with me talking about aliens a
little bit on the show?
Speaker 6 (18:39):
Y awesome?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I'm thrilled that was so quick.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I'm not a huge alien guy, and I don't mean
the fact that I don't think aliens are real. I'm
just not usually a guy that knows the name of
comets and stuff. But there's a comet that's been in
the news for a bit, and today is the day
that if aliens are flying a ship and it's not
actually like a rock flying in space, they're supposed to
land today. It's the at Liss three I comet for
(19:05):
some And actually, you know what I'm doing this wrong.
I should be playing this as I talk about this too.
So the aliens potentially would be swinging by Earth after
making their way around the Sun today, and so people
in some places that's terrible audio.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Let's go ahead and stop that music. Bad bad quality.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
But anyway, there's potentially a shot. And so here's I
guess the gist of this before we go ahead and
weigh in on it. There's a comet that's made some
weird turns, like it's not behaving like a rock that's
just flying through space that doesn't have, you know, an
ability to say, propel itself in certain directions. This at
list three comet, according to some, is like stopping and
(19:47):
turning and pausing and doing stuff that like a ship
might do. And so if it swings by Earth, they
do the pit stop today. So, Matt, what do you
got a miss?
Speaker 5 (19:57):
So there's nothing like a comment that's sent in once
to murder our entire populace. So it keeps making you
turns in the middle of outer space just so, just
so it hits planing to Earth right in the jugular.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
Appreciate the efficiency there. That's really cool. Thank you guys. Yeah,
it was. It's cool. It's cool knowing y'all today's to day.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
If you could give me a little more specific time,
I'll know what time I didn't give it that.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
I'm still coming to work. Evening rush is evening rush.
I'll be here like five thirty five, forty five.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
What are we expecting because I want everybody off for
sixty five when this thing hit.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Yeah, you can report about the spaceship down for sixty five. Okay,
I'll get a get a couple of likes on the Twitter.
I'm excited about this.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah, honestly, man, Matt, traffic's gonna be terrible. If the
Aliens do land.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Today, it's gonna be worse than the eclipse.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Oh, it's brutal, brutal traving. No, but I love this.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
And I'm not saying that I understand or even believe
that the stuff they're saying about the comet is real,
Like I think other people have said, it didn't stop,
it didn't turn. But I just I love the fact
that today, of all days, and they've been projecting this
since they first started paying attention to this common a
while ago. Whoever the people are who think it's the UFO,
they've been projecting like today or tomorrow right around Halloween
(21:08):
to be like the IT day and talk about like
perfect timing. If the Aliens swing by now or if
they wait till Friday, we won't even know they're aliens.
We'll just think they're people with really cool costume, the
dressing up with Yeah, you'll be like, man, those parents
have some kids are really trying hard right around now,
But I just I like this.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
So it's just the thing.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
It's out there, and Matt has already said that it's
the end of days, which is good to know.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
But the aliens might land today.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Yeah, I'm cool with it. I had a good run, man,
I'm a piece here right now. You know what's happening here.
The aliens that are living on the common, They're going
to be in little pods that are dispatched to the
Earth and we're not going to see those. Those are
undetectable to our satellites in our very high tech atmosphere
that we've structured. But they are going to exterminate the
(21:56):
population here on Earth, because that's how I would do it.
As soon as we and on Mars wipe everybody out.
Take the resources. That's what I'm in for. You know,
I want the money, I want the gold, I want
whatever's on Mars, the water, the clean water.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
We take the whole thing, and then we move on
to Jupiter. I mean, I'm ready to go on this. Yeah.
How about your anus?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Oh thank you, hey, you very much, buddy, Thank you, Carl.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
You know, I gotta say one other thing, and this
now reminds me of a debate I would have in
a bar in college with a buddy of mine, which
was a stupid debate. And this is not something that
you should probably bring up on radio twenty years later,
and yet I'm about to do it. I've always said
that it would be funny if aliens were like little
tiny things, like they land and we're all afraid of them,
and then they pop out of their spaceship and they're
like a foot and a half tall, and we can
(22:40):
take them, like they don't have the technology to beat us,
because you never have that representation of aliens. It's always bigger, scarier,
more technology. What if they're just like, you know, tiny,
and they happen to have a better spaceship than us,
and when they land, we can take them easily, like
fighting a bunch of kids in a grade school. Like
to me, I feel like there's something amusing about the
(23:00):
idea that US first aliens. If it were an easy put,
it would be almost disappointing, to be honest. If we
could take them easily, you'd be talking.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
About like pocket alien, right, something you put in your pocket?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Okay, yeah, yeah, like a like a puppy dog version
of an alien.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
Well then I'm going to adopt an alien.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
I'm going to go to a local humane society adopted
alien and because there's an overflow there.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
But do you do you think it would actually be
somewhat disappointing if like the aliens landed and then they're
they're a pushover as far as like, it's not even
a good fight.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
We don't have to call in the Rock or anybody
else to get this done.
Speaker 6 (23:31):
Bill Pullman, Yeah, we don't need him.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Listen, an alien attack is going to be something we've
never seen before.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
I mean, we're featuring like.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Little Green Man and you know, the bug Eyes X
Files type of alien.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
That's not how it's going to happen. The aliens are
going to come in the form of a.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Gas Okay, it's the Alien can Guard is like one
big gas field.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
And it's going to w ib C bathroom.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Yeah, it's yes, fifth and fourth, four utility bathrooms, and
we have aliens living in our bathrooms.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
Trust me. I can see it on the rem every
morning when I come to work.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
They're gonna formula of gas and that's how they're going
to uh impregnate us.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Okay, if anyone who woke up this morning thought they
were going to get a prediction of how the alienspregnate
us from Matt Behar. Congratulations to you, because I did
not know that was happening. There is as good as anyone's,
really good as anybody.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Yeah, you're right, that's true. I didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I didn't think about that. I'm uniquely more afraid now
of today than I was before this whole segment started.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
All right, by four six will be clear. I will
take care of the aliens.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
And I think we have to take a break.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Sorry to anybody who's upset by this, but you know,
we had fun a quick break a lot more.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Greg cons filling in
Tony Katz the More News ninety three WIBC.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Yes, I mentioned Matt and I's podcast already on the show,
and it might.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Come up a few more times.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I'm not sure if it's on the rundown somewhere to
mention it, but I'll get it in. There's a lot
of stuff to talk about. I'm Matt and Craig excellent
podcast among them. At some point, CNN's Henry Etten yet
again demonstrated that things are not going as poorly for
Republicans as Democrats want them to during this ridiculous shutdown.
I want to make this clear every time I fill
(00:36):
in for Tony or talk about this anywhere, I say
this part because I don't want to be a hypocrite.
I'm not really all that mad the government is shut down.
I'm mad at the way it's happening. I'm mad at
the way that Democrats are doing exactly the thing that
they always chastise Republicans for potentially doing from time to time,
Like I'm annoyed at the hypocrisy of all this. But
(00:57):
the government shut down part and Trump potentially trying to
fire some people because of it, and then actually a
federal judge. I think getting in the way and stopping
it is stuff that I'm interested in seeing play out.
I don't want the average American to be in pain,
so I should say that too. I know that a
lot of Republicans are now saying that the shutdown is
hurting people on Main Street and that that's bad. Of
(01:19):
course it's bad, and that they should care more about it.
Democrats should, and of course they should. All those things
are true, But again, there's so much bloat in Washington,
d C. That government shutting down in and of itself
is never something that truly makes me mad, especially if
the soldiers are getting paid. If all of the people
that serve and protect this country are getting cash getting money,
(01:41):
they're not getting cash properly getting checks, then something is
okay in my book. As far as figuring all this out,
I'm not supporting Democrats in the shutdown, by the way.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I want that to be clear.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I'm just not going to pretend as though I'm as
mad about it now that Democrats are doing it. If
I wouldn't be mad at all if Republicans were doing it.
I just want to be clear about that. I don't
know why I keep saying and doing this, by the way,
but anyway, CNN's political analysts dove into some data and
demonstrated that Republicans not doing poorly. Actually, a lot of
(02:11):
polls say things are going quite well for the Republican
Party as far as approval ratings go, probably because of
the sentiment I just shared and I just said, and
a lot of people on this side of the aisle
feeling that way that the people that were least worried
about oftentimes work in Washington, DC.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Starting with Republicans, How has the shutdown seemed to have
affected their political standing?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, you might think, given that the Republicans are in
charge of both the House and the Senate, that a
government shutdown might actually hurt the Republican brand, But in
fact it hasn't. If anything, it's been helped a little bit.
Take a look here the shift in net popularity versus
pre shutdown among the g when we're looking at the
Republican Party overall, that brand actually up two points. That's
within the margin envirop but clearly it hasn't druck come
(02:52):
over this side of the screen. Look at the net
approval ratings for Republicans in Congress. It's actually up five
points since pre shutdown.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Here's the REPO brand, and Congress.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Has actually improved somewhat compared to where we were.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
How could that be possible?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I love the way that CNN says that and seems
shocked by this information. By the way, one of the
other reasons that I think this could be true is
that a lot of people do see Democrats as the
people causing the shutdown, because they are they've voted thirteen
times against reopening it the way that normally these sort
of things inevitably end, because yes, of course we've been
through shutdowns before. Inevitably, you just fund the government at
(03:29):
current levels, You pass a bill that doesn't have any
extra bacon in it, any extra pork in it, any
extra anything, and all of a sudden things go back
to normal, and then Washington keeps fighting over stupid stuff
as it normally does, but the Democrats refuse to do
that this time. People thought it was at first because
of the no King's protests that happened, and now they're
not really sure what Democrats are doing. I think Democrats
(03:51):
aren't really sure what they're doing, and yeah, it's going
to start to cause more and more pain in places
that are not good snap benefits for people who depend
on that food. You know, people who depend on certain
medical things are going to start to have more and
more problems because of government shutdown. And that's on the
heels of the Democrats. And they're honestly the party that
oftentimes fights and yells about this and says how they
(04:14):
need to protect these sort of things. So I think
that's why it's hurting them more. Their brand is closely
tied to the idea that they want to prevent shutdowns,
and now they're causing one. And Republicans, as I said,
maybe not just me, but a whole lot of us,
I don't really care. We don't care. We don't want
people to be in pain. I'm not saying that I
don't want anyone to walk away from the show being
(04:34):
like Man Collins, that guy who filled in for Tony
Katz is such a jerk, because it's not that I
don't want people to be in pain, but I would
love the end result of a shutdown to be a
whole bunch of people in government that jobs are unnecessary
to be fired, to be very fired. Maybe fire them
Apprentice style Trump comes back to do that and just
says you're fired.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
You're fired, You're fired, across the board. It would be wonderful.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
We'd save a bunch of money, all right, quick break,
A lot coming up. Craig Collins filling in, Tony Kats
The Morning News, ninety three WIBC.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Nice bump song.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Tony Kat's The Morning News ninety three WIBC. My name
is Craig Collins filling in.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
You got Matt.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
You have Carl hanging out as they do every single
morning on this show. I want to play a clip
from a Newsmax that has political slant and stuff in it,
but I'm actually most amused at just the most macro
concept in this. So a host on Newsmax and I'm
not even going to say his name is he's about
to say it in the clip is criticizing the way
that some people in media shift into an accent when
(05:35):
they say the names of people from other countries, like
even if the person's not born in that other country,
if they're a person from here, but like a Spanish name,
all of a sudden, you do this crazy, ridiculous accent.
And this host is mocking that idea, and I found
this to be incredibly entertaining the idea of this because
you see it a lot, and I've actually worked with
people in this industry who prided themselves undoing it, like
(05:58):
shifting into certain accents, and it's funny. The basic question
is why don't we do it for other nationalities? If
we do it for some, why don't we do it
for more? Here's the clip itself, and then we'll discuss
or also he not, but I taught me out he
said it. I couldn't understand what he was saying.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
As I've said before, I am irish and if I
was moderating that debate with the host to introduce me
as Robert James Finnerty, don't you know that it's a
lad that is Robert James Finnerty.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Okay, I find that wildly of music, a lot of
people are saying there's like insensitive aspects to it and stuff.
Those people are probably annoying and on a certain side
of the political aisle. But anyway, Matt Behar, do you
want to react to the idea that a lot of
people in media they do suddenly have an accent when
they say a certain name and not other ones.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Man, we could go further, Well, I.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
Think they should try to do like the hardest one
and that's Mandarin. Yeah, you're right, that would be impressive.
It would be I would assume that if you're doing
a local accent, that you're trying to appeal to the
local popular as such, say you have a heavy Hispanic population,
and then yeah, you're going to put on that accent,
and in that case, I can see it work you.
Otherwise you're just showing off, right man, Right, I can
(07:10):
speak another language, which is super cool, but you just
kind of dropping it like that. It's it's not yeah, okay,
you're showing off, is what you.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I love that you said showing off, man, because now
I'm going to talk about one of the most jealous
things that I felt in the world of broadcasting. It's
not even broadcasting, it's barely it's like tangentially broadcasting. I
was the public address announcer for the South Bend Silverhawks,
oh which now that they're now the South Bend Cubs,
by the way, and I had a guy who would
fill in for me.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I was the main announcer. He was the other guy.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Whenever he'd do an accent on, you know, like an
r roll or something for some of the names on
the baseball team. He'd dives so deep into it and
I'd hear about it, be like, man, that was incredible
and I couldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
It was showing off.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
You didn't need that from the PA guy all of
a sudden, here like you know somebody's name and have
the role r last for five seconds.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Come on, man, you could have sticked it up. You
could have hit the internet like, I can't do it
like this guy. But man, he could really dig into
that accent.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Well, dude, an Emilio Bona Fassio played for that team.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
So just again, let's.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Think about the fact that this other guy who would
throw on the accent would say the name Emilio Bona
Fasio once every nine at bats.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
Let's hear you do it? Can you do the.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I can really here? Yeah, no, no, I do it.
I do it very you know, American guy. I just
yelled Bona Fassio for a while and then I'm done.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
Do it a bust an accent. Dude.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
By the way, it's an incredible name to announce.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I will say that if you want to try it
at some point, Matt Amilio bona Fasio is made for
the PA announcer.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Facio's that's not Spanish. I didn't do a good job.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
It's awkward. We're on the radio, we're just having a conversation.
Any of us could do it, and we have the microphones,
like we could yell the name, but it's it's awkward.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
And you know what's funny too. I'll tell you one
other thing about this. This isn't important, but I can't
help it.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
My wife bragged about my PA job when I met
her family in Mexico, like that's one of the things
she bragged about because they all love baseball. And then
every single time that it comes up with my family
in another country, they all ask me to do it.
They're like, oh, do do the thing, and I'm like, guys,
I'm a dude standing here. I don't have a microphone,
I don't have anything. It's not going to be cool.
(09:23):
And they're like, no, but yell at yell our name.
And then I do it and it's never cool. Everyone
looks at it like, ah, man, why did we ask
him to do that?
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Is this the same crowd that walks up to you
on family dinners and says like, hey, what do you
think of redistricting or how's immigration? I'd expect you to
go into maybe a five minute segment all of a
sudden under your take.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
On redistricting and immigration.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Here.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
You know, you're expect you have to perform for the people, Craig,
Come on, does.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
That happen to you?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Do you get asked to do kind of things broadcasting
things when you're around people.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
Nobody asked me to do anything.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
It's a beautiful I don't know about that. The Matt
and Crag excellent podcast, that's going to do a lot
of what you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Two on the board already this morning.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah, I am wondering at some point if I'm going
to get a note from management being like Craig, we
love the enthusiasm with the Matt and Craig Excellent podcast.
It is not written to be promoted that often when
you're filling in for Tony Kats in the morning news.
But Matt's here man, and the second episode was so good.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
It was so good.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
It's now you can find a wiv C DO guy.
That's something you can apologize for later, Craig, Don't worry. Yeah,
you know that that falls into that category. Wait until
they say something, then you're.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Awesome fantastic other things out there.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Did you guys watch either of you guys watched the
eighteen inning baseball game from the other day.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
No.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
I heard all about it though, like, wow, yeah, eighteen
it was like a six hours but the longest game
in World Series history?
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Did I hear that? Correct? It was tied? Yeah, it
was how you tie it was?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah, it was tied with another game with the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Oh, I thought you meant that it was when they
say it was tied, like it was like a six
hour and eighteen minute.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
Game again another eighteen eighteen I got it on.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yeah, yeah, no, yeah, there are two games of that
length and both of them included the Dodgers both times.
I think the Dodgers won the game too, which probably
annoys people even more. But I watched all of it,
and the funniest part was like the progression of watching
it in today's world with the technology we have. Because
I started on my projector in my living room, which
I have a nice projector that I like a lot.
(11:22):
Then I went upstairs to the bedroom with the misses,
and then at some point during the game, she started
elbowing me, like turn this off, you go off, because
it was way too late at night, and so I
turned it off and I put it on my cell
phone and flipped my cell phone, you know, on the
side as I'm in bed and watch the rest of
it on my phone. And so it was like a
progression of hiding while watching the baseball game as it
(11:42):
continued to go.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Man, oh man, did you shout at two o'clock in
the morning when the home run?
Speaker 6 (11:47):
I did?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I did. I don't like either team, so like, I
don't want anyone to win. Which someone's to win?
Speaker 5 (11:52):
This six hours of your time if you don't like
either team because.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
It's the World Series, Carl, because I can't.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I can't stop myself from this sort of thing, especially
when it goes that long and it's that kind of
a crazy plus show.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Hey, Otani is a thing that people need to watch.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
That's almost a household hinge that I can't say because
I am bignerant, But yeah, listen what you're watching with
some of the baseball going on now, and this could
apply to everybody. I mean, I've been following in a
fan of baseball all my life, and to see a
player like this is unprecedented, just what he can do.
(12:28):
And I know the NFL has players that are doing
both offensive defense now and that's kind of the thing
and they're trying to get into that, and you know,
it's a better payday for the players. But sure this
Otani to be a pitcher and a hitter and to
be so effective at both is totally unprecedented. So there's
that catch with the World Series right now, even for
people in Indiana who really don't care about the Dodgers
(12:49):
and don't care about the Blue Jays, but baseball happening,
so you know it does it does have a value
to us, and that's that's cool, man.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
I dig that well.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
And to be honest, dude, we've seen the NFL thing before,
as you said, like on Sanders was one of many
people who made that a big deal years ago, playing
both sides of the football. So is that really as
surprising now as show hey doing what only Babe Ruth
has done before. No, although he did give up four
runs last night and I think he struck out twice,
which for some reason I enjoyed.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
Take away a hundred million, but he's.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Still fine to take away one hundred he's still got
six hundred million dollars.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Remember how good Jordan was at baseball? You know that's
something to keep in mind.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Hey, hey, now, hey, what was that? Why?
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Why jus remember Jordan rides the bus he's a baseball player.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Now, that was such an Indiana shot at Michael Jordan's
if ever I ever heard one that was such a
pacer shot. All right, quick break, a lot coming up.
This is Craig Collins filling in and Tony Cats the
More News, Tony Kats The Morning News ninety three WIBC.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be
with you.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
A bunch of stuff out there to talk about. Lieutenant
Governor Micah Beckwith has been talking recently about the redistricting stuff,
encouraging us in Indiana to go ahead and do it.
And you might be scratching your head and thinking to yourself, man,
why are they talking about that so much? Why are
some people in positions of power discussing this? Micah specifically
may be talking about it to distract from the other
(14:11):
stuff going on with Micah beckw And this does you
should give an atta?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Boy?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Did the Kendall and Casey show and how they've been
reporting on some of these things that are now in
the news. I think News Nation did a story about
beckw and some of the stuff going on behind the scenes.
The grand jury that's deciding whether or not some bad
things are happening within that office. Kendall and Casey had
been talking about this for like about a month. I
think in the middle of September, they interviewed someone who'd
(14:37):
been fired from Beckwith's office. You can actually go find
that podcast, but talk to someone about the potential existence
of a deep fake AI video that depicted a state
representative's wife doing things that she wasn't doing adult video.
Horrible part of this the discussion about these alleged things,
(14:58):
and by the way, I think Beckwith has denied that
this video exists at all.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
So there's that.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
And as far as the grand jury and the decisions
they made in August and September about all of this stuff,
we have no update there as of now. Everything is
under seal. So whatever the grand jury discussed, however serious
these potential you know, things are, we still are missing
certain information that we'd like to have for sure. And
there's also now an allegation of ghost employment too, by
(15:25):
the way, that is where you're just, you know, embezzling money.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
It's just fraud.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
You pretend somebody exists, you cut them a paycheck, and
then somebody else is acquiring that money. Again, these are
all allegations. I can't tell you that any of this
is confirmed or whatever. Some of these are level six
felony kind of stuff, according to reporting on quite a
few places on this thing. What I really think is
interesting about this is that Beckwith is doing the two
(15:49):
things that most politicians do when they're potentially in a
whole lot of trouble. One of those things is to
dive on whatever the issue is that's national, that's getting
attention to national ends at a state level, of course,
and trying to be a huge proponent of it. So
Beckwith is now very much in support of any sort
of redistricting plan because he's hoping that that makes the
(16:09):
people who support conservatives like him more and you know, I,
at least in my opinion, like him more and kind
of push away from some of the more serious things
going on in his office. The other real big thing
that he's been doing that I think is interesting is
saying this is a witch hunt his response to a
lot of these stories are there's no video, it doesn't exist,
this is a witch hunt, These are you know, political
(16:31):
powers going after me, etc.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Etc.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
And oftentimes when politicians say that there's some level of
truth to it, I'm going to go ahead and put
that out there too. Oftentimes when someone gets accused of of,
you know, something in the public and does it to
the degree that they are doing it right now, with
some of these things, there's a motivating factor in it
becoming a public story in the first place. That doesn't
(16:55):
mean it's always not true. Sometimes it's very much true.
Sometimes it's very much fake lie.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
And the other thing that it always makes me.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Think, and this is in no way, shape or form
to try to excuse anything that Micah Beckwith is potentially doing,
but it makes me think that a lot of people
in politics, and I'm sure you think this too, are
incredibly dirty, and that it's very easy to find some
dirt on people if you want it. Case in point
is the FBI probe that's been going on that has
(17:22):
new information about it about how Biden's DOJ looked into.
I think it's like one hundred and fifty Republican politicians
it's just crazy. There's an update on a story that's
been breaking for a few months too.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
There.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
But again, to get back to the state stuff, to
get back to the Indiana stuff, and specifically the Micah
Beckwith stuff. If you keep hearing his name tied to
things like redistricting, tied to things that are Republican talking
points right now, my assumption would be that he's trying
very hard to pretend as though his house is not
on fire, and it seems right now even though a
(17:55):
lot of this is allegations that the house is on fire,
and if anybody knows anything about that, it's probably Rob
Kendall because he's been reporting on it along with Kendall
and Casey in that show for a couple months. So
I think that Carl producer Carl has done a great job,
Carl Showbiz of connecting with Rob. And I think we're
gonna have Rob on the show later on in about
a couple hours. All right, we'll take a break. A
(18:16):
lot coming up interesting interesting stories from the Lieutenant Governor's office.
Greg Collins filling in Tony Kat's The Morning News ninety
three WIBC. Tony Kat's The Morning News ninety three WIBC.
My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be
with you. You got Matt, you got Carl hangout as
they always do on this very show.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Are you guys cool with me talking about aliens a
little bit on the show?
Speaker 6 (18:39):
Y awesome?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I'm thrilled that was so quick.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I'm not a huge alien guy, and I don't mean
the fact that I don't think aliens are real. I'm
just not usually a guy that knows the name of
comets and stuff. But there's a comet that's been in
the news for a bit, and today is the day
that if aliens are flying a ship and it's not
actually like a rock flying in space, they're supposed to
land today. It's the at Liss three I comet for
(19:05):
some And actually, you know what I'm doing this wrong.
I should be playing this as I talk about this too.
So the aliens potentially would be swinging by Earth after
making their way around the Sun today, and so people
in some places that's terrible audio.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Let's go ahead and stop that music. Bad bad quality.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
But anyway, there's potentially a shot. And so here's I
guess the gist of this before we go ahead and
weigh in on it. There's a comet that's made some
weird turns, like it's not behaving like a rock that's
just flying through space that doesn't have, you know, an
ability to say, propel itself in certain directions. This at
list three comet, according to some, is like stopping and
(19:47):
turning and pausing and doing stuff that like a ship
might do. And so if it swings by Earth, they
do the pit stop today. So, Matt, what do you
got a miss?
Speaker 5 (19:57):
So there's nothing like a comment that's sent in once
to murder our entire populace. So it keeps making you
turns in the middle of outer space just so, just
so it hits planing to Earth right in the jugular.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
Appreciate the efficiency there. That's really cool. Thank you guys. Yeah,
it was. It's cool. It's cool knowing y'all today's to day.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
If you could give me a little more specific time,
I'll know what time I didn't give it that.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
I'm still coming to work. Evening rush is evening rush.
I'll be here like five thirty five, forty five.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
What are we expecting because I want everybody off for
sixty five when this thing hit.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Yeah, you can report about the spaceship down for sixty five. Okay,
I'll get a get a couple of likes on the Twitter.
I'm excited about this.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah, honestly, man, Matt, traffic's gonna be terrible. If the
Aliens do land.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Today, it's gonna be worse than the eclipse.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Oh, it's brutal, brutal traving. No, but I love this.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
And I'm not saying that I understand or even believe
that the stuff they're saying about the comet is real,
Like I think other people have said, it didn't stop,
it didn't turn. But I just I love the fact
that today, of all days, and they've been projecting this
since they first started paying attention to this common a
while ago. Whoever the people are who think it's the UFO,
they've been projecting like today or tomorrow right around Halloween
(21:08):
to be like the IT day and talk about like
perfect timing. If the Aliens swing by now or if
they wait till Friday, we won't even know they're aliens.
We'll just think they're people with really cool costume, the
dressing up with Yeah, you'll be like, man, those parents
have some kids are really trying hard right around now,
But I just I like this.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
So it's just the thing.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
It's out there, and Matt has already said that it's
the end of days, which is good to know.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
But the aliens might land today.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Yeah, I'm cool with it. I had a good run, man,
I'm a piece here right now. You know what's happening here.
The aliens that are living on the common, They're going
to be in little pods that are dispatched to the
Earth and we're not going to see those. Those are
undetectable to our satellites in our very high tech atmosphere
that we've structured. But they are going to exterminate the
(21:56):
population here on Earth, because that's how I would do it.
As soon as we and on Mars wipe everybody out.
Take the resources. That's what I'm in for. You know,
I want the money, I want the gold, I want
whatever's on Mars, the water, the clean water.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
We take the whole thing, and then we move on
to Jupiter. I mean, I'm ready to go on this. Yeah.
How about your anus?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Oh thank you, hey, you very much, buddy, Thank you, Carl.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
You know, I gotta say one other thing, and this
now reminds me of a debate I would have in
a bar in college with a buddy of mine, which
was a stupid debate. And this is not something that
you should probably bring up on radio twenty years later,
and yet I'm about to do it. I've always said
that it would be funny if aliens were like little
tiny things, like they land and we're all afraid of them,
and then they pop out of their spaceship and they're
like a foot and a half tall, and we can
(22:40):
take them, like they don't have the technology to beat us,
because you never have that representation of aliens. It's always bigger, scarier,
more technology. What if they're just like, you know, tiny,
and they happen to have a better spaceship than us,
and when they land, we can take them easily, like
fighting a bunch of kids in a grade school. Like
to me, I feel like there's something amusing about the
(23:00):
idea that US first aliens. If it were an easy put,
it would be almost disappointing, to be honest. If we
could take them easily, you'd be talking.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
About like pocket alien, right, something you put in your pocket?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Okay, yeah, yeah, like a like a puppy dog version
of an alien.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
Well then I'm going to adopt an alien.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
I'm going to go to a local humane society adopted
alien and because there's an overflow there.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
But do you do you think it would actually be
somewhat disappointing if like the aliens landed and then they're
they're a pushover as far as like, it's not even
a good fight.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
We don't have to call in the Rock or anybody
else to get this done.
Speaker 6 (23:31):
Bill Pullman, Yeah, we don't need him.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Listen, an alien attack is going to be something we've
never seen before.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
I mean, we're featuring like.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Little Green Man and you know, the bug Eyes X
Files type of alien.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
That's not how it's going to happen. The aliens are
going to come in the form of a.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Gas Okay, it's the Alien can Guard is like one
big gas field.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
And it's going to w ib C bathroom.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Yeah, it's yes, fifth and fourth, four utility bathrooms, and
we have aliens living in our bathrooms.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
Trust me. I can see it on the rem every
morning when I come to work.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
They're gonna formula of gas and that's how they're going
to uh impregnate us.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Okay, if anyone who woke up this morning thought they
were going to get a prediction of how the alienspregnate
us from Matt Behar. Congratulations to you, because I did
not know that was happening. There is as good as anyone's,
really good as anybody.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Yeah, you're right, that's true. I didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I didn't think about that. I'm uniquely more afraid now
of today than I was before this whole segment started.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
All right, by four six will be clear. I will
take care of the aliens.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
And I think we have to take a break.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Sorry to anybody who's upset by this, but you know,
we had fun a quick break a lot more.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
