Speaker 1 (00:02):
Tony Kats Morning Now ninety three WIBC. My name is
Craig Collins, killing in thrilled to be with you. A
bunch of stuff out there to talk about.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Stephen A.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Smith popped up on The View. I do like stephen
A on The View and some of the stuff that
went viral with his appearance there on that show. Let's
play this part because this is probably my favorite part.
Whoopy Goldberg says a crazy thing.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Steven A.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Smith is about to tell her that she's nuts, and
then they immediately go to break.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Which is the best part. It was kind of crazy.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Here we go, let's show you how ridiculous it can
be on TV. And stephen A, obviously a TV pro,
probably was unhappy about this well in the commercial break
that he couldn't respond to the crazy stuff that Whoopy
Goldberg was saying. Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Let's say one more.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Thing, because you know, I know that you have very
strong feelings about Democrats, but I do have this to
say to you. It was important, I think Democrats to
show that they stood with the LGBT community, that they
stood with black women and women in general, because once
you let us go, once you let women and poor
(01:12):
people go, what do you have? And so I've listened
to lots of people say, you know that you didn't
follow what was necessary. They did it the way they
thought they could.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
It didn't work for them. They got it. See respectfully,
I don't like that.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I don't like that's okay, just like you said to speak.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Sure, say that to me. We have to take a break.
We have to take a break, come back.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Go on.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
That's ridiculous, that's insane. They're like, we got to take
a break.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Whoopi's whole point is that if the Democratic Party loses
women and poor people, that they don't have any supporters anymore.
What's insane about that idea is that it demonstrates how
emotional the campaign messaging is on one side of the
political aisle, and how it's not actually about the things
they're going to do in office. They tell you emotionally
(02:03):
that we care about you, we promise to do things
for you, and then you check in with those communities,
whether it's a certain racial group, or it's people in
a certain community, whatever, or I guess just women as
a whole, according to what be Goldberg, and a lot
of times people will say, you know what the things
I thought this party was going to do for me,
they didn't do. They didn't actually help me over here
(02:25):
or help me over there. I mean, that's why every
issue in politics right now, at least for Democrats, turns
into this campaign about how you yourself are going to
be damaged in some way if you don't do this thing,
or vote this person out or or get this person
to not have political power anymore, then you somehow are
going to be personally harmed in the decision making of
(02:48):
that party. Well, it's just ridiculous, it's insane, and my
favorite part of identity politics or whatever you want to
call it, that so often is what Democrats do.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Is this crazy story at.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
A Minnesota and Governor Tim Walls, who has been called
retarded by President Trump for how stupid he seems to
look in how much fraud existed there, and how little
he seemed to do to try to prevent it or
stop it or even be aware of it, which is crazy,
and then also pretend that none of this is his fault.
The guy in charge doesn't have to take any blame.
(03:21):
Iohan Omar was asked questions about this too, and her
answers were equally terrible.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Let's play a little bit of that audio.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Can you shed any light on why the fraud got
so out of control in Minnesota?
Speaker 6 (03:35):
I think what happened is when you have these kind
of new programs that are designed to help people, you're
oftentimes relying on third parties to be able to facilitate.
And I just think that a lot of the COVID
programs that were set up, they were set up so
(03:56):
quickly that a lot of the guard hills did not
get created.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
That was a terrible answer to this question. Why do
you think it got so out of hand? I'll tell
you why I got so out of hand. The people
that were asking for money from Minnesota were threatening to
turn it into a racial story if they weren't given
money without any checks and balances. Not only do they
want your cash, they wanted as much of your cash
as you could possibly give them, and they wanted that
(04:20):
money regardless of anything else going on. And if you
didn't give them the money, they told you that you
were being a racist. They threatened that, they threatened to
go to news organizations. They turned it into identity politics
against the identity politicians and said, if you don't keep
writing these blank checks to us and giving us no
sort of requirements to what we do with the money,
(04:42):
or tell you what we're doing with it. Then we'll
call you racists and they cave in. That's exactly what happened, obviously,
is what happened. But she is such an idiot in
how she responds to it and talks about it that
her answer is very simplistically. Ah, there's a lot of
fraud during COVID, which there absolutely was a lot of
fraudul awful and terrible. But the reason that we're in
twenty twenty five now and still talking about the insane
(05:06):
amount a very specific fraud that existed from certain organizations
out of Minnesota is about the identity politics thing, and
not just about the failure across the board by everyone
in government when it came to COVID funding. All right,
we'll take a break. A lot coming up. Craig Collins
filling in Tony Kat's in the Morning News, Tony Kat's
The Morning News, ninety three WIBC. My name is Craig Collins,
(05:29):
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff out there to talk about. We have a popcorn
moment brought to you by boor home remodeling. You know,
check out everything and anything going on with Boor if
you need anything done in the house.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Let's go. Let's go off the watch.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
He optiviated the best moment I thought in the steven
A Smith chat on the View where Sonny Houston tried
to strap him, I tried to demonstrate how wrong he
was about something.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Stephen A.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Smith ranted about how ridiculous the the Seditious Six as
they're being called are, specifically one member of the Seditious Six,
and how their encouragement for military men and women to
ignore orders from the President even though they couldn't identify
any orders the President had given that they thought were illegal.
And he ranted about Mark Kelly specifically. Stephen A did
(06:19):
that this was bad, that this was wrong, and so
Houstin confronted him about it, even played the audio of
him talking about that story on his show that he
was definitely much more adamant about. And I thought this
back and forth was great. Even if steven A didn't
go full steven A, which means screaming and yelling, he
actually was much more calm than you expect him to be.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
But here let's play a little bit of that audio.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
Let me just just remind you that Pete Hegsath said
in twenty sixteen, I do think there have to be
consequences for abject war crimes. If you're doing something that
is just completely unlawful and ruthless, then there is a
consequence for that. That's why the military said it won't
follow unlawful orders from their commander in chief. Now, given
(07:02):
the fact that the Secretary himself.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Said that, it's also sort of insane that these view
audience members are so far to the left that they're
applauding this. Because yes, if there is actual orders that
are given that are illegal, even haig set degrees, and
obviously hegg Seth agrees you shouldn't follow them.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
That's not what's happening.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
They're politicizing things, pretending that something is illegal when nothing
has been, and they even admit to themselves nothing has been.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Regularly, let's see, when I respond, I'd.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
Love to give you the opportunity to perhaps change your
position on what you said.
Speaker 8 (07:33):
I'm not changing the thing. You want to stay it out,
you could call it loud on the wrong, Oh you
want it. You're entitled to your opinion. I'm entitled to mind.
He has to re out of the in the situation.
First of all, I don't give a damn what Pete
hegg Sith has to say, because I will tell you
right now he was never.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Qualified for the job. Can you talk about daving the
guy in eradicating that? Excuse me? What was he doing
hosting Fox News on the weekend and all of a
sudden he's the Defense secretary? Is give me a break.
I don't care what he has to say.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
He leaned into the democratic narrative about.
Speaker 8 (07:58):
The way as if it takes to Mark. What I
was talking about is military. What I did was get
on the phone with family and French who have served
in the military, and I said, we're not civilians.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
This is not the court of law.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
You can be implicated for implying something if you are
a former military member or you are a present military member.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
It wasn't what Mark Kelly said.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
It's the fact that he was a combat Navy pilot
who served in the military.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Who folks ignore an order when.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
It could get I said illegal legal.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
There are no illegal orders. They've all admitted there's no
illegal orders. But I love that. Steven A.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Smith was very good in my opinion, at getting to
the point. In the second half of his answer, of course,
he leaned in and demonstrated his democratic whatever as democratic
uh equalifications by crapping on Pete Hegsath, who has done
a fantastic job in my opinion as the director the
Secretary of War, which is an awesome name for the
(08:56):
Defense Department. But nonetheless, I just thought this was awesome
that Steve and I would sit there and just absolutely
rip apart the narrative that he said anything at all
that he regrets because he talked to people within the
military and saying that you should ignore the orders of
the sitting president for any reason is actually fully insane.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I want to move on to something else that I
like a lot.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
This could also be a popcorn moment, although it's not political,
so we don't have to call it that. But Columbia
Sportswear has pledged to give their entire company to anyone
out there that can prove definitively that the Earth is flat.
I think they even have a spot that they put
over on the Internet and other places talking about this.
(09:38):
I want to play this audio. It's the CEO of
the company, Tim Boyle, saying flat earthers, come on out,
prove to us this thing, and you get the entire company.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Hi, I'm Tim Boyle.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I'm the CEO here at Columbia Sportsquare, and this message
is for flat earthers.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
You guys claim there's an end to the earth. We'll
just go snap a picture, send it to us, and
you get the assets in the company. All of it. Awesome,
no paperwork, no lawyers, no catches.
Speaker 9 (10:07):
Tim, there is some paperwork.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Hey, we're giving you all this, this and all of that.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Hey, flat earthers, do me a favor. You're going to
the edge of the earth where Columbia you'll need it.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah, you probably do need it. What do we think
of this.
Speaker 9 (10:22):
A company ad? It's really good, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I think it's awesome, And I would like to take
a lot of deceptive photos that make it look like
I found the end of the earth.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Because he said no lawyers, he said, no strings attached.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I feel like I can take a photo that looks
like it's the end of the earth and then I
win the company.
Speaker 9 (10:38):
Well, somebody just get to the edge of the Grand Canyon,
take a shot and be.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Like, found it, found it. We got it.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
But no, I love the challenge. I love that this
is out there and being talked about. Of course, the
earth is not flat in fact, for anyone that thinks
it is so. Colombia is not risking very much by
doing this. But I feel like they could branch even
deeper into conspiracy theory and tell people, if you can
prove this thing or that thing, you also get the company.
I think we can go beyond the flatter earth and
dive even deeper.
Speaker 9 (11:04):
If you've had a family member get sick off Keemtrails,
you can own the store.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I mean it would be It'd be awesome, man, Like,
let's have the conspiracy theorists actually have something they can
win if they go into this world and really prove
a thing.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
I love this so much. If you can prove that
Downtown Monument was built by the Illuminati, you can own
our store.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
If you can prove that Jeffrey Epstein hung himself, please,
you get the company, You get all the work boots
you want. Yeah, And to be honest, man, I'm not
saying that I don't believe that that could have happened.
I just want someone to prove some of these things.
Some of the conspiracy theories might be true, and let's
give somebody a reward for actually doing the deep dive.
Speaker 9 (11:42):
B because that'll always spill on purpose. Welcome and you
owned the store? Now, oh man, how great would that be.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I'd love the press conference where one of these people
actually does prove something is in fact real, and then
they're awarded an entire company for it. And then I
love the way that their company might be run by
the guy who did the deep dive into the conspiracy theory,
because Columbia Sportswear will get a lot crazier as an
organization once people get involved in it that you know,
believe some of this stuff. But nonetheless, again, I think
(12:10):
that we deserve a reward for some of the conspiracies
that wind up being true. And anyone out there that's
getting mad at the radio, I promise you I believe
some conspiracies actually are accurate. It's too planned of a
term to use on too many things, but this is
just such a great, great spot, very very much something
that I think will get a lot of people talking
about Columbia, which I definitely wouldn't talk about without this.
Speaker 9 (12:31):
Well, he's going to get sued. The company is going
to get sued eventually because you're going to be This
reminds me you could take a picture of anything because
you're making the conspiracy theory about the world is flat.
So anything to you is going to be real hardline
evidence if you believe that. And it reminds me remember
way back at Yester Lore, the kid with the Pepsi
points and Pepsi was saying, you know, in one of
(12:53):
their commercials they flew in an M sixteen and say
as a joke like, if you've collect all your PEPSI points,
you're going to be able to train them in for
this MiG for this jet fighter. And so one kid
kind of smartness says, yeah, I can do that, and
he gets all the points and they're like, no supercraft,
no super airline, and he sued them and one and yeah,
(13:13):
it's kind of an interesting story. So this guy from
Columbia boots. I'm always a little apprehensive, what do you
put it out there, like, yeah, you do this and
you're going to get this, especially you don't have a
clear set of the terms. You know, you don't have
you want lawyers involved in this. I would think, you know.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
What a great reference Leonard versus PepsiCo that you just
talked about a little bit ago when he went and
did the deep dive into I deserve a fighter jet
and an AV eight Harrier too thing, and yeah, he
deserved it absolutely. Pepsiico said that there's also this viral
video on TikTok of a dude who put the call
letters to a radio station on his forehead.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Have you seen this at all?
Speaker 9 (13:50):
No, what a idea.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
They did a promo at a radio station where like,
if you tattoo our call letters to your face, will
give you thirty thousand dollars, and they said it was
a y oak on air several times, but they said
it convincingly enough that a dude did it and he
won like a stupid court case in one of those
people court places where he actually put the call letters
on his face. And so you do have to be
careful about the things you offer and how you offer
(14:14):
them on the radio or anywhere on television or the internet,
because if someone can take it as legitimate, they can
actually try to pursue it and then maybe get you
in trouble in.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
A court room.
Speaker 9 (14:23):
So you know, if you tattoo in dot on the
small of your back. I'll send you a T shirt.
How about that?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
That's fine?
Speaker 10 (14:29):
So are you gonna say, Carl, imagine if the owners
of that radio station to double up the joke on him,
change the format and the call letters.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Oh dude, that would be harsh. That would be difficult.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
But they had to fork over some money, so that's
something that definitely had to happen. I do love that
Matt's Gonna Go T shirt though, because we can facilitate that.
We can make that happen. Man, if you put if
you get a Matt Bear tattoo.
Speaker 9 (14:51):
No, no, no, I wanted to say. I wanted to know.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I feel like if they get the Matt Bear tattoo,
they also deserve a T shirt.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Man, just right, I guess, Matt And.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, if you get Matt and Craig Excellent Podcast tattooed.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
In your body, we will also give you a T shirt.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
That show is out there, it's able to be listened
to all the time. Tony kats The Morning News ninety
three WIBC. My name is Craig Collins, filling in Matt
and Carl hangout as they do every morning on this show.
It's time for our Marketplace segment, which is brought to
you by Indiana Unclaimed. A great place to go to
find out if Indiana owes you money, because they've given
(15:33):
all three of us money. Indiana even owed me money
for years that I didn't know about it until I
started doing the segment on this show. And then I
popped my name into the old Indiana Unclaimed website and boom,
I got some cash in the mail, even though I
don't live in Indiana anymore, which is fantastic. But today's
Indiana Unclaimed thing, our marketplace thing, it just looks wrong.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
There's stuff that you shouldn't buy like used.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I think obviously you can probably think of a bunch
of things out there that would fall into this category
for some reason.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
A grappling dummy.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
It's me as something I wouldn't want that someone else owned.
But grappling Smarty two point zero is available on the
marketplace in Indianapolis. It's going for five hundred and ninety
seven dollars.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
And it's just a thing that looks like a dude
with no face that you would wrestle against. It can't
fight back, but you do this to practice grappling. And
I love the description lightly used. They said, it's hardly
ever been used. Actually, I don't know how much Carl
is laughing at this.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
It just looks wrong. It's just it's uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I wouldn't want to pick this up at somebody else's
house have them hand it to me, you know, I
just I don't want to know some stuff.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
Okay, this is found at radio Craig c at Twitter,
and I'm looking, Oh, okay, when you said grappling doll,
that's like a wrestling doll. It looks like somebody you
throw on your back and you need to be like,
I mean a mountain or something.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, he's sitting in a weird position to his legs
are somewhat opened and his arms are hitting on his
knees and he's just kind of sitting there and it's
supposed to grapple with him.
Speaker 9 (17:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
One and again Carl's killing me with the laughter here.
I really love the fact that, you know, you could
just buy a new one for practically the same amount
of money, and I.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Would always go that road.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I don't know why I need the grappling dummy, but
I'm not going to use someone some other person has
been intimate with.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
That was okay, I'd be lying if I said that
wasn't my first thought.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Any any variant of it, even even the one on
one wrestling stuff, If that's really doing okay, that's still
I don't want to know about that.
Speaker 9 (17:47):
There was a scene in pulp fiction that's I'm going
to say that something dressed like this, it looks very simular.
I just want to ask, and I have to ask
a question just to be safe. Are we sure there's
not a human being insight? I'm not money or that's
what I'm saying. I do not want to be buying
a human being that I'm going to be grappling when
(18:08):
they don't row that that's going to be happening. It
looks like a gimp outfit. That's really what it is.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I don't like what I said. Actually, you know it's weird.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
If you go to the website tied to this product,
which I'm not telling you to do.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I don't want you to get fired from your job today.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Don't do it if you're someone out there doing it.
But the video shows the dummy holding one of his
legs up like he's got his arm wrapped around one
of his legs. It's just every part of it is creepy, dude,
and I don't know who would need to practice wrestling
with this fake thing. I also don't know how it
would teach you to wrestle, to be honest, because it's
not going to fight back.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
So you're gonna beat the.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Dummy one hundred times out of one hundred. You might
not beat a real person in a fight.
Speaker 9 (18:47):
So I'm thinking wrestling. You're about to do an invert
of DDT on this thing, and it's not going to
be able to counter you're finishing move. That's the kind
of wrestling we're talking about here. I'm impressed with it.
I think it's cool. I mean, this could be a
Christmas gift your four year old. I mean it'd be like, hey, listen,
I know your mom and I didn't get it done,
but this is your brother. Now there you go.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, this is great.
Speaker 9 (19:08):
I'm just my only concern is I don't want anybody
in this suit. Whenever it arrives on the door, I
can barely take care of myself. You know.
Speaker 10 (19:15):
The fun imagine wrapping that thing for a Christmas present
and trying to wrap.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
It like it doesn't look like a human.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I'll say one other thing about this, because you just
triggered a memory, Matt, hold on, it don't make sense.
It would be better than wrestling against your actual family members.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
When the WWE was a big.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Deal, we all try to put each other in two
plexes as kids, and you would get hurt that way.
This is good that you would rather do this with
this tummy than say, you know, like do the people's
elbow to your little brother.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
That's probably not a good move.
Speaker 9 (19:48):
When I was a kid, we did living room wrestling
and we had weapons, medial weapons, and you go get
whatever was nearest. It was insane.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
What a weapons? What do you mean weapons?
Speaker 9 (19:58):
Rolling pins out of the kitchen. I mean it was
just okay. Now we were We weren't like impaling each
other or anything like that, but we wanted to make
sure that it looked like the wo it was the
WWF at the time, or the Animal Lovers came it
and took over maybe world.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
The Wrestling Federation.
Speaker 9 (20:14):
Yes, absolutely absolutely, and we wanted it to be like that.
And this was even before the hardcore days of the
steel cage match. Yeah, And we would recreate it in
our living room when our parents were gone. And they
never knew anything about it because we were cool and sleek.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Exactly correct.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
The sharpshooter is one of the moves Brett Brett the
hipman Heart did the sharpshooter. If you tried to do
that to an actual human being, you were going to
hurt them. That was going to happen. And it may
or may not have been something that we tried to
practice on my little brother and I because I was
the big brother, I always won, which was great, and
I would always it.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
Was getting the dumbest finishing move ever because unless you
were knocked out, you were you weren't going to let
anybody put you in that, you know, right, figure four
leg lock.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I mean it was a figure four leg lock. You
flipped the guy over and you basically broke his back.
It was so fantastic.
Speaker 10 (20:59):
So they're selling it as lightly used. So you imagine
the scenario of like why this is only lightly used?
Speaker 9 (21:07):
Imagine like a husband, a husband getting this and the
wife going what the hell is that?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Well, I was actually more thinking about the wife getting.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
It and the husband doing like, what the hell is that?
Like a cuddle buddy, either or it's not. We should
probably take a break before we all get fired.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
This is Tony Kats The Morning News ninety three WIBC.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Craig Collins filling in with Matt and Carl.
Speaker 9 (21:28):
I'm putting in my credit card right now. I mean,
this is new to me. This is better than ay.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Tony Kat's in The Morning News ninety three WIBC. My
name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be with
you. You got Matt, you got Carl, hanging out as they
do every single morning on this show. Somebody ranked the
US cities that they think are the most fun, and
Indianapolis did not make the top twenty. Do we feel
like that's an oversight? Is Indy fun enough to deserve
(21:56):
a place in the top twenty for most fun cities
in the country?
Speaker 9 (22:00):
Why do I get to feeling all the cities that won,
the big winners are in warm weather.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
A lot of them are in warm weather. That is fair.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Vegas came in at number one, Orlando and Miami two
and three, No, Atlanta, Georgia four, New Orleans five, Houston six.
Speaker 9 (22:14):
Yeah, it's really hot down there in all those places,
and a lot of those places. Yeah, And I don't
know if you know this and not with the weather
is kind of miserable here in good old Indianapolis. Yeah,
it's really cool and really icy.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Two places that made the top ten are just outside
of the top ten in Chicago at eleven, Cincinnati, Ohio
at ten. Not so warm there and still Indianapolis not
on this list. Cincinnati beat the crap out of Indy
on this one list that makes no sense.
Speaker 9 (22:38):
It's the Skyline Chili. Skyline Chili is fun, especially what
happens afterwards. That's a good time. I mean, you know
that where they just covered the noodles with the chili
and they just throw a pound of onions on top
of it. Yeah, Cincinnat's going to win for that. It's
kind of cheap on their part.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
But yeah, I don't know, Cincinnati's a terrible place. Let's
have a rivalry with that.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Let's go, let's go deep into the fight between the
two places. Vegas number one, by the way, is just
that's just predictable. You know, Vegas can be fun or
it can also be horrible because you can go and
you can leave with absolutely nothing.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I would just never fun.
Speaker 9 (23:08):
More and more people I talk to now are just
kind of like, I go to Vegas for these shows
and the celebrityism and the lights. Yeah, are they lying? Okay?
I just wanted to make sure is that they are.
They're all coming back wearing a bed sheet. So maybe
that's maybe I'm a little too gullible here, but that's
usually what I hear. But it makes it sound fun.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
I don't know shows in Vegas. Have you guys been
Has everybody on the show been to Vegas before? Okay? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (23:31):
I was there when I was nineteen four winning and
I lost my butt. That's that's all I remember.
Speaker 10 (23:36):
It's not fun to go to Vegas stuff. You're under
twenty one, you can't.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah, do any well?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I feel like you could figure out a way for
it to still be fun. I feel like you can
make that happen. You've only been there one time, mat
at nineteen Yeah, I got.
Speaker 9 (23:46):
Back Okay, never got back, never went back.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
All right, probably a good thing or all right, another
another thing out there I saw. I do love this audio.
I don't know why I love it so much. It's
probably because of the very thick news z Eland accent.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
That's a part of this. But a baby seal walked
into a bar in New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
That's not a joke to a joke. It's not thank
you Carl, it's not the setup to do a joke.
It is a real thing that happened. They lured the
baby seal out with salmon before capturing it. And there
is a woman, Bella Evans, who went viral online, the
manager of the bar in New Zealand talking about the
encounter again with a very thick accent. I'll play a
little bit of this audio.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Sitting there at.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
The pub and a baby steel just walked in the
front door by itself. From there, the seal wandered around
through the bar and it was salmon on the piza.
So when we were trying to get the sealing, cright,
just grab the sermon, Grab the salmon.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
We'll put it in there.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
I think we've just enjoyed the feedback and how much
the community has loved it. It's just so funny that
I decided to come to a pub and it's a
craft beer pub as well, obviously wanted to drink.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I love the story.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I also liked the story of the raccoon that broke
into a liquor store and got hammered and then they
found it passed out. And if you guys saw this
media obsessed about the raccoon liquor store story, they're failing
in the baby seal walking into a bar in New
Zealand story.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I feel like both needs to.
Speaker 10 (25:04):
Be to open up a bottle and drink it.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
It wasn't just one man. The raccoon seemed to shatter
bottles on the ground and then drink them.
Speaker 10 (25:12):
Lick Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Okay, drink up after you break it on the ground
like any good crazy person would do, and then passed
out in the bathroom. That was my favorite part of
the raccoon story is that it was passed out. Yeah,
and then people and it's fine now by the way,
any anybody was here coming to a day? Yeah right,
anybody that's out there that once get mad about this.
The raccoon is fine, and I assume the baby seal
is too. I would talk about a great day.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
All right. Well, I'm trying to think.
Speaker 9 (25:37):
Of what you can do with a baby seal when
it comes into the bar like that. Can you milk
a baby seal? Can id? Yeah? Can I see?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I want I want to quote meet the fokkers, But
I know that I should right now. Did you just
asked the question and I want to anyway,
Tony Kats Morning Now ninety three WIBC. My name is
Craig Collins, killing in thrilled to be with you. A
bunch of stuff out there to talk about.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Stephen A.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Smith popped up on The View. I do like stephen
A on The View and some of the stuff that
went viral with his appearance there on that show. Let's
play this part because this is probably my favorite part.
Whoopy Goldberg says a crazy thing.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Steven A.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Smith is about to tell her that she's nuts, and
then they immediately go to break.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Which is the best part. It was kind of crazy.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Here we go, let's show you how ridiculous it can
be on TV. And stephen A, obviously a TV pro,
probably was unhappy about this well in the commercial break
that he couldn't respond to the crazy stuff that Whoopy
Goldberg was saying. Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Let's say one more.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Thing, because you know, I know that you have very
strong feelings about Democrats, but I do have this to
say to you. It was important, I think Democrats to
show that they stood with the LGBT community, that they
stood with black women and women in general, because once
you let us go, once you let women and poor
(01:12):
people go, what do you have? And so I've listened
to lots of people say, you know that you didn't
follow what was necessary. They did it the way they
thought they could.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
It didn't work for them. They got it. See respectfully,
I don't like that.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I don't like that's okay, just like you said to speak.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Sure, say that to me. We have to take a break.
We have to take a break, come back.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Go on.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
That's ridiculous, that's insane. They're like, we got to take
a break.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Whoopi's whole point is that if the Democratic Party loses
women and poor people, that they don't have any supporters anymore.
What's insane about that idea is that it demonstrates how
emotional the campaign messaging is on one side of the
political aisle, and how it's not actually about the things
they're going to do in office. They tell you emotionally
(02:03):
that we care about you, we promise to do things
for you, and then you check in with those communities,
whether it's a certain racial group, or it's people in
a certain community, whatever, or I guess just women as
a whole, according to what be Goldberg, and a lot
of times people will say, you know what the things
I thought this party was going to do for me,
they didn't do. They didn't actually help me over here
(02:25):
or help me over there. I mean, that's why every
issue in politics right now, at least for Democrats, turns
into this campaign about how you yourself are going to
be damaged in some way if you don't do this thing,
or vote this person out or or get this person
to not have political power anymore, then you somehow are
going to be personally harmed in the decision making of
(02:48):
that party. Well, it's just ridiculous, it's insane, and my
favorite part of identity politics or whatever you want to
call it, that so often is what Democrats do.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Is this crazy story at.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
A Minnesota and Governor Tim Walls, who has been called
retarded by President Trump for how stupid he seems to
look in how much fraud existed there, and how little
he seemed to do to try to prevent it or
stop it or even be aware of it, which is crazy,
and then also pretend that none of this is his fault.
The guy in charge doesn't have to take any blame.
(03:21):
Iohan Omar was asked questions about this too, and her
answers were equally terrible.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Let's play a little bit of that audio.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Can you shed any light on why the fraud got
so out of control in Minnesota?
Speaker 6 (03:35):
I think what happened is when you have these kind
of new programs that are designed to help people, you're
oftentimes relying on third parties to be able to facilitate.
And I just think that a lot of the COVID
programs that were set up, they were set up so
(03:56):
quickly that a lot of the guard hills did not
get created.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
That was a terrible answer to this question. Why do
you think it got so out of hand? I'll tell
you why I got so out of hand. The people
that were asking for money from Minnesota were threatening to
turn it into a racial story if they weren't given
money without any checks and balances. Not only do they
want your cash, they wanted as much of your cash
as you could possibly give them, and they wanted that
(04:20):
money regardless of anything else going on. And if you
didn't give them the money, they told you that you
were being a racist. They threatened that, they threatened to
go to news organizations. They turned it into identity politics
against the identity politicians and said, if you don't keep
writing these blank checks to us and giving us no
sort of requirements to what we do with the money,
(04:42):
or tell you what we're doing with it. Then we'll
call you racists and they cave in. That's exactly what happened, obviously,
is what happened. But she is such an idiot in
how she responds to it and talks about it that
her answer is very simplistically. Ah, there's a lot of
fraud during COVID, which there absolutely was a lot of
fraudul awful and terrible. But the reason that we're in
twenty twenty five now and still talking about the insane
(05:06):
amount a very specific fraud that existed from certain organizations
out of Minnesota is about the identity politics thing, and
not just about the failure across the board by everyone
in government when it came to COVID funding. All right,
we'll take a break. A lot coming up. Craig Collins
filling in Tony Kat's in the Morning News, Tony Kat's
The Morning News, ninety three WIBC. My name is Craig Collins,
(05:29):
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff out there to talk about. We have a popcorn
moment brought to you by boor home remodeling. You know,
check out everything and anything going on with Boor if
you need anything done in the house.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Let's go. Let's go off the watch.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
He optiviated the best moment I thought in the steven
A Smith chat on the View where Sonny Houston tried
to strap him, I tried to demonstrate how wrong he
was about something.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Stephen A.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Smith ranted about how ridiculous the the Seditious Six as
they're being called are, specifically one member of the Seditious Six,
and how their encouragement for military men and women to
ignore orders from the President even though they couldn't identify
any orders the President had given that they thought were illegal.
And he ranted about Mark Kelly specifically. Stephen A did
(06:19):
that this was bad, that this was wrong, and so
Houstin confronted him about it, even played the audio of
him talking about that story on his show that he
was definitely much more adamant about. And I thought this
back and forth was great. Even if steven A didn't
go full steven A, which means screaming and yelling, he
actually was much more calm than you expect him to be.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
But here let's play a little bit of that audio.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
Let me just just remind you that Pete Hegsath said
in twenty sixteen, I do think there have to be
consequences for abject war crimes. If you're doing something that
is just completely unlawful and ruthless, then there is a
consequence for that. That's why the military said it won't
follow unlawful orders from their commander in chief. Now, given
(07:02):
the fact that the Secretary himself.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Said that, it's also sort of insane that these view
audience members are so far to the left that they're
applauding this. Because yes, if there is actual orders that
are given that are illegal, even haig set degrees, and
obviously hegg Seth agrees you shouldn't follow them.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
That's not what's happening.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
They're politicizing things, pretending that something is illegal when nothing
has been, and they even admit to themselves nothing has been.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Regularly, let's see, when I respond, I'd.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
Love to give you the opportunity to perhaps change your
position on what you said.
Speaker 8 (07:33):
I'm not changing the thing. You want to stay it out,
you could call it loud on the wrong, Oh you
want it. You're entitled to your opinion. I'm entitled to mind.
He has to re out of the in the situation.
First of all, I don't give a damn what Pete
hegg Sith has to say, because I will tell you
right now he was never.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Qualified for the job. Can you talk about daving the
guy in eradicating that? Excuse me? What was he doing
hosting Fox News on the weekend and all of a
sudden he's the Defense secretary? Is give me a break.
I don't care what he has to say.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
He leaned into the democratic narrative about.
Speaker 8 (07:58):
The way as if it takes to Mark. What I
was talking about is military. What I did was get
on the phone with family and French who have served
in the military, and I said, we're not civilians.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
This is not the court of law.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
You can be implicated for implying something if you are
a former military member or you are a present military member.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
It wasn't what Mark Kelly said.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
It's the fact that he was a combat Navy pilot
who served in the military.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Who folks ignore an order when.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
It could get I said illegal legal.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
There are no illegal orders. They've all admitted there's no
illegal orders. But I love that. Steven A.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Smith was very good in my opinion, at getting to
the point. In the second half of his answer, of course,
he leaned in and demonstrated his democratic whatever as democratic
uh equalifications by crapping on Pete Hegsath, who has done
a fantastic job in my opinion as the director the
Secretary of War, which is an awesome name for the
(08:56):
Defense Department. But nonetheless, I just thought this was awesome
that Steve and I would sit there and just absolutely
rip apart the narrative that he said anything at all
that he regrets because he talked to people within the
military and saying that you should ignore the orders of
the sitting president for any reason is actually fully insane.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I want to move on to something else that I
like a lot.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
This could also be a popcorn moment, although it's not political,
so we don't have to call it that. But Columbia
Sportswear has pledged to give their entire company to anyone
out there that can prove definitively that the Earth is flat.
I think they even have a spot that they put
over on the Internet and other places talking about this.
(09:38):
I want to play this audio. It's the CEO of
the company, Tim Boyle, saying flat earthers, come on out,
prove to us this thing, and you get the entire company.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Hi, I'm Tim Boyle.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I'm the CEO here at Columbia Sportsquare, and this message
is for flat earthers.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
You guys claim there's an end to the earth. We'll
just go snap a picture, send it to us, and
you get the assets in the company. All of it. Awesome,
no paperwork, no lawyers, no catches.
Speaker 9 (10:07):
Tim, there is some paperwork.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Hey, we're giving you all this, this and all of that.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Hey, flat earthers, do me a favor. You're going to
the edge of the earth where Columbia you'll need it.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah, you probably do need it. What do we think
of this.
Speaker 9 (10:22):
A company ad? It's really good, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I think it's awesome, And I would like to take
a lot of deceptive photos that make it look like
I found the end of the earth.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Because he said no lawyers, he said, no strings attached.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I feel like I can take a photo that looks
like it's the end of the earth and then I
win the company.
Speaker 9 (10:38):
Well, somebody just get to the edge of the Grand Canyon,
take a shot and be.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Like, found it, found it. We got it.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
But no, I love the challenge. I love that this
is out there and being talked about. Of course, the
earth is not flat in fact, for anyone that thinks
it is so. Colombia is not risking very much by
doing this. But I feel like they could branch even
deeper into conspiracy theory and tell people, if you can
prove this thing or that thing, you also get the company.
I think we can go beyond the flatter earth and
dive even deeper.
Speaker 9 (11:04):
If you've had a family member get sick off Keemtrails,
you can own the store.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I mean it would be It'd be awesome, man, Like,
let's have the conspiracy theorists actually have something they can
win if they go into this world and really prove
a thing.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
I love this so much. If you can prove that
Downtown Monument was built by the Illuminati, you can own
our store.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
If you can prove that Jeffrey Epstein hung himself, please,
you get the company, You get all the work boots
you want. Yeah, And to be honest, man, I'm not
saying that I don't believe that that could have happened.
I just want someone to prove some of these things.
Some of the conspiracy theories might be true, and let's
give somebody a reward for actually doing the deep dive.
Speaker 9 (11:42):
B because that'll always spill on purpose. Welcome and you
owned the store? Now, oh man, how great would that be.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I'd love the press conference where one of these people
actually does prove something is in fact real, and then
they're awarded an entire company for it. And then I
love the way that their company might be run by
the guy who did the deep dive into the conspiracy theory,
because Columbia Sportswear will get a lot crazier as an
organization once people get involved in it that you know,
believe some of this stuff. But nonetheless, again, I think
(12:10):
that we deserve a reward for some of the conspiracies
that wind up being true. And anyone out there that's
getting mad at the radio, I promise you I believe
some conspiracies actually are accurate. It's too planned of a
term to use on too many things, but this is
just such a great, great spot, very very much something
that I think will get a lot of people talking
about Columbia, which I definitely wouldn't talk about without this.
Speaker 9 (12:31):
Well, he's going to get sued. The company is going
to get sued eventually because you're going to be This
reminds me you could take a picture of anything because
you're making the conspiracy theory about the world is flat.
So anything to you is going to be real hardline
evidence if you believe that. And it reminds me remember
way back at Yester Lore, the kid with the Pepsi
points and Pepsi was saying, you know, in one of
(12:53):
their commercials they flew in an M sixteen and say
as a joke like, if you've collect all your PEPSI points,
you're going to be able to train them in for
this MiG for this jet fighter. And so one kid
kind of smartness says, yeah, I can do that, and
he gets all the points and they're like, no supercraft,
no super airline, and he sued them and one and yeah,
(13:13):
it's kind of an interesting story. So this guy from
Columbia boots. I'm always a little apprehensive, what do you
put it out there, like, yeah, you do this and
you're going to get this, especially you don't have a
clear set of the terms. You know, you don't have
you want lawyers involved in this. I would think, you know.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
What a great reference Leonard versus PepsiCo that you just
talked about a little bit ago when he went and
did the deep dive into I deserve a fighter jet
and an AV eight Harrier too thing, and yeah, he
deserved it absolutely. Pepsiico said that there's also this viral
video on TikTok of a dude who put the call
letters to a radio station on his forehead.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Have you seen this at all?
Speaker 9 (13:50):
No, what a idea.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
They did a promo at a radio station where like,
if you tattoo our call letters to your face, will
give you thirty thousand dollars, and they said it was
a y oak on air several times, but they said
it convincingly enough that a dude did it and he
won like a stupid court case in one of those
people court places where he actually put the call letters
on his face. And so you do have to be
careful about the things you offer and how you offer
(14:14):
them on the radio or anywhere on television or the internet,
because if someone can take it as legitimate, they can
actually try to pursue it and then maybe get you
in trouble in.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
A court room.
Speaker 9 (14:23):
So you know, if you tattoo in dot on the
small of your back. I'll send you a T shirt.
How about that?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
That's fine?
Speaker 10 (14:29):
So are you gonna say, Carl, imagine if the owners
of that radio station to double up the joke on him,
change the format and the call letters.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Oh dude, that would be harsh. That would be difficult.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
But they had to fork over some money, so that's
something that definitely had to happen. I do love that
Matt's Gonna Go T shirt though, because we can facilitate that.
We can make that happen. Man, if you put if
you get a Matt Bear tattoo.
Speaker 9 (14:51):
No, no, no, I wanted to say. I wanted to know.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I feel like if they get the Matt Bear tattoo,
they also deserve a T shirt.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Man, just right, I guess, Matt And.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, if you get Matt and Craig Excellent Podcast tattooed.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
In your body, we will also give you a T shirt.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
That show is out there, it's able to be listened
to all the time. Tony kats The Morning News ninety
three WIBC. My name is Craig Collins, filling in Matt
and Carl hangout as they do every morning on this show.
It's time for our Marketplace segment, which is brought to
you by Indiana Unclaimed. A great place to go to
find out if Indiana owes you money, because they've given
(15:33):
all three of us money. Indiana even owed me money
for years that I didn't know about it until I
started doing the segment on this show. And then I
popped my name into the old Indiana Unclaimed website and boom,
I got some cash in the mail, even though I
don't live in Indiana anymore, which is fantastic. But today's
Indiana Unclaimed thing, our marketplace thing, it just looks wrong.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
There's stuff that you shouldn't buy like used.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I think obviously you can probably think of a bunch
of things out there that would fall into this category
for some reason.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
A grappling dummy.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
It's me as something I wouldn't want that someone else owned.
But grappling Smarty two point zero is available on the
marketplace in Indianapolis. It's going for five hundred and ninety
seven dollars.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
And it's just a thing that looks like a dude
with no face that you would wrestle against. It can't
fight back, but you do this to practice grappling. And
I love the description lightly used. They said, it's hardly
ever been used. Actually, I don't know how much Carl
is laughing at this.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
It just looks wrong. It's just it's uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I wouldn't want to pick this up at somebody else's
house have them hand it to me, you know, I
just I don't want to know some stuff.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
Okay, this is found at radio Craig c at Twitter,
and I'm looking, Oh, okay, when you said grappling doll,
that's like a wrestling doll. It looks like somebody you
throw on your back and you need to be like,
I mean a mountain or something.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, he's sitting in a weird position to his legs
are somewhat opened and his arms are hitting on his
knees and he's just kind of sitting there and it's
supposed to grapple with him.
Speaker 9 (17:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
One and again Carl's killing me with the laughter here.
I really love the fact that, you know, you could
just buy a new one for practically the same amount
of money, and I.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Would always go that road.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I don't know why I need the grappling dummy, but
I'm not going to use someone some other person has
been intimate with.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
That was okay, I'd be lying if I said that
wasn't my first thought.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Any any variant of it, even even the one on
one wrestling stuff, If that's really doing okay, that's still
I don't want to know about that.
Speaker 9 (17:47):
There was a scene in pulp fiction that's I'm going
to say that something dressed like this, it looks very simular.
I just want to ask, and I have to ask
a question just to be safe. Are we sure there's
not a human being insight? I'm not money or that's
what I'm saying. I do not want to be buying
a human being that I'm going to be grappling when
(18:08):
they don't row that that's going to be happening. It
looks like a gimp outfit. That's really what it is.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I don't like what I said. Actually, you know it's weird.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
If you go to the website tied to this product,
which I'm not telling you to do.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I don't want you to get fired from your job today.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Don't do it if you're someone out there doing it.
But the video shows the dummy holding one of his
legs up like he's got his arm wrapped around one
of his legs. It's just every part of it is creepy, dude,
and I don't know who would need to practice wrestling
with this fake thing. I also don't know how it
would teach you to wrestle, to be honest, because it's
not going to fight back.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
So you're gonna beat the.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Dummy one hundred times out of one hundred. You might
not beat a real person in a fight.
Speaker 9 (18:47):
So I'm thinking wrestling. You're about to do an invert
of DDT on this thing, and it's not going to
be able to counter you're finishing move. That's the kind
of wrestling we're talking about here. I'm impressed with it.
I think it's cool. I mean, this could be a
Christmas gift your four year old. I mean it'd be like, hey, listen,
I know your mom and I didn't get it done,
but this is your brother. Now there you go.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, this is great.
Speaker 9 (19:08):
I'm just my only concern is I don't want anybody
in this suit. Whenever it arrives on the door, I
can barely take care of myself. You know.
Speaker 10 (19:15):
The fun imagine wrapping that thing for a Christmas present
and trying to wrap.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
It like it doesn't look like a human.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I'll say one other thing about this, because you just
triggered a memory, Matt, hold on, it don't make sense.
It would be better than wrestling against your actual family members.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
When the WWE was a big.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Deal, we all try to put each other in two
plexes as kids, and you would get hurt that way.
This is good that you would rather do this with
this tummy than say, you know, like do the people's
elbow to your little brother.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
That's probably not a good move.
Speaker 9 (19:48):
When I was a kid, we did living room wrestling
and we had weapons, medial weapons, and you go get
whatever was nearest. It was insane.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
What a weapons? What do you mean weapons?
Speaker 9 (19:58):
Rolling pins out of the kitchen. I mean it was
just okay. Now we were We weren't like impaling each
other or anything like that, but we wanted to make
sure that it looked like the wo it was the
WWF at the time, or the Animal Lovers came it
and took over maybe world.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
The Wrestling Federation.
Speaker 9 (20:14):
Yes, absolutely absolutely, and we wanted it to be like that.
And this was even before the hardcore days of the
steel cage match. Yeah, And we would recreate it in
our living room when our parents were gone. And they
never knew anything about it because we were cool and sleek.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Exactly correct.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
The sharpshooter is one of the moves Brett Brett the
hipman Heart did the sharpshooter. If you tried to do
that to an actual human being, you were going to
hurt them. That was going to happen. And it may
or may not have been something that we tried to
practice on my little brother and I because I was
the big brother, I always won, which was great, and
I would always it.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
Was getting the dumbest finishing move ever because unless you
were knocked out, you were you weren't going to let
anybody put you in that, you know, right, figure four
leg lock.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I mean it was a figure four leg lock. You
flipped the guy over and you basically broke his back.
It was so fantastic.
Speaker 10 (20:59):
So they're selling it as lightly used. So you imagine
the scenario of like why this is only lightly used?
Speaker 9 (21:07):
Imagine like a husband, a husband getting this and the
wife going what the hell is that?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Well, I was actually more thinking about the wife getting.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
It and the husband doing like, what the hell is that?
Like a cuddle buddy, either or it's not. We should
probably take a break before we all get fired.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
This is Tony Kats The Morning News ninety three WIBC.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Craig Collins filling in with Matt and Carl.
Speaker 9 (21:28):
I'm putting in my credit card right now. I mean,
this is new to me. This is better than ay.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Tony Kat's in The Morning News ninety three WIBC. My
name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be with
you. You got Matt, you got Carl, hanging out as they
do every single morning on this show. Somebody ranked the
US cities that they think are the most fun, and
Indianapolis did not make the top twenty. Do we feel
like that's an oversight? Is Indy fun enough to deserve
(21:56):
a place in the top twenty for most fun cities
in the country?
Speaker 9 (22:00):
Why do I get to feeling all the cities that won,
the big winners are in warm weather.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
A lot of them are in warm weather. That is fair.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Vegas came in at number one, Orlando and Miami two
and three, No, Atlanta, Georgia four, New Orleans five, Houston six.
Speaker 9 (22:14):
Yeah, it's really hot down there in all those places,
and a lot of those places. Yeah, And I don't
know if you know this and not with the weather
is kind of miserable here in good old Indianapolis. Yeah,
it's really cool and really icy.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Two places that made the top ten are just outside
of the top ten in Chicago at eleven, Cincinnati, Ohio
at ten. Not so warm there and still Indianapolis not
on this list. Cincinnati beat the crap out of Indy
on this one list that makes no sense.
Speaker 9 (22:38):
It's the Skyline Chili. Skyline Chili is fun, especially what
happens afterwards. That's a good time. I mean, you know
that where they just covered the noodles with the chili
and they just throw a pound of onions on top
of it. Yeah, Cincinnat's going to win for that. It's
kind of cheap on their part.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
But yeah, I don't know, Cincinnati's a terrible place. Let's
have a rivalry with that.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Let's go, let's go deep into the fight between the
two places. Vegas number one, by the way, is just
that's just predictable. You know, Vegas can be fun or
it can also be horrible because you can go and
you can leave with absolutely nothing.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I would just never fun.
Speaker 9 (23:08):
More and more people I talk to now are just
kind of like, I go to Vegas for these shows
and the celebrityism and the lights. Yeah, are they lying? Okay?
I just wanted to make sure is that they are.
They're all coming back wearing a bed sheet. So maybe
that's maybe I'm a little too gullible here, but that's
usually what I hear. But it makes it sound fun.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
I don't know shows in Vegas. Have you guys been
Has everybody on the show been to Vegas before? Okay? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (23:31):
I was there when I was nineteen four winning and
I lost my butt. That's that's all I remember.
Speaker 10 (23:36):
It's not fun to go to Vegas stuff. You're under
twenty one, you can't.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah, do any well?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I feel like you could figure out a way for
it to still be fun. I feel like you can
make that happen. You've only been there one time, mat
at nineteen Yeah, I got.
Speaker 9 (23:46):
Back Okay, never got back, never went back.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
All right, probably a good thing or all right, another
another thing out there I saw. I do love this audio.
I don't know why I love it so much. It's
probably because of the very thick news z Eland accent.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
That's a part of this. But a baby seal walked
into a bar in New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
That's not a joke to a joke. It's not thank
you Carl, it's not the setup to do a joke.
It is a real thing that happened. They lured the
baby seal out with salmon before capturing it. And there
is a woman, Bella Evans, who went viral online, the
manager of the bar in New Zealand talking about the
encounter again with a very thick accent. I'll play a
little bit of this audio.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Sitting there at.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
The pub and a baby steel just walked in the
front door by itself. From there, the seal wandered around
through the bar and it was salmon on the piza.
So when we were trying to get the sealing, cright,
just grab the sermon, Grab the salmon.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
We'll put it in there.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
I think we've just enjoyed the feedback and how much
the community has loved it. It's just so funny that
I decided to come to a pub and it's a
craft beer pub as well, obviously wanted to drink.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I love the story.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I also liked the story of the raccoon that broke
into a liquor store and got hammered and then they
found it passed out. And if you guys saw this
media obsessed about the raccoon liquor store story, they're failing
in the baby seal walking into a bar in New
Zealand story.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I feel like both needs to.
Speaker 10 (25:04):
Be to open up a bottle and drink it.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
It wasn't just one man. The raccoon seemed to shatter
bottles on the ground and then drink them.
Speaker 10 (25:12):
Lick Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Okay, drink up after you break it on the ground
like any good crazy person would do, and then passed
out in the bathroom. That was my favorite part of
the raccoon story is that it was passed out. Yeah,
and then people and it's fine now by the way,
any anybody was here coming to a day? Yeah right,
anybody that's out there that once get mad about this.
The raccoon is fine, and I assume the baby seal
is too. I would talk about a great day.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
All right. Well, I'm trying to think.
Speaker 9 (25:37):
Of what you can do with a baby seal when
it comes into the bar like that. Can you milk
a baby seal? Can id? Yeah? Can I see?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I want I want to quote meet the fokkers, But
I know that I should right now. Did you just
asked the question and I want to anyway,
