Speaker 1 (00:02):
Tony Katsy morn Is ninety three WIBC.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
My name is Craig Collins. Coming in a few big
stories out there.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
First, the FBI, the Department of Justice has announced that
they have caught the person responsible for placing pipe bombs
outside both the DNC and RNC the evening before January sixth,
in two thousand and one, twenty twenty one. Excuse me,
A lot of discussions about this topic, a lot of
things going into it. One of the more embarrassing moments
(00:32):
I'll tell you is CNN describing the person as a
white guy.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
He is a black man.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
The photo evidently demonstrates he's a black man, and yet
Jake Tapper refuses to think facts need to disrupt his
narrative as he talked about it here, I'll play that
audio quickly.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
First, well, attack Brian Cole Junior, a thirty year old
white man from now DC Suburbs, is charts with transporting
an explosive device in interstate commerce and with malicious destruction
by means of explosions.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I thought that was pretty interesting. He goes, what's his name,
Brian Cole? Oh, he's from the suburbs. White guy doesn't
have to look into it at all. He is a
black man again, so swinging a miss by Tapper there.
Dan Bongino was proud of this. It's something that when
he first joined the FBI, he said that within fifteen
minutes he was talking about wanting to bring this guy
in and didn't understand how they had not caught him yet.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Here's a little bit of that audio.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
First meeting. My first meeting, I swore in and I
kid you now, probably fifteen minutes later and the people
who are into meeting know, I said, when I get
in there, I want a full brief on this pipe
bomber case on day one. And I looked at the
case agent after getting a full brief on what they'd done,
and they had done some a pretty extensive amount of work.
(01:46):
They had chased down I think thousands of leads, six
thousand plus interviews had been conducted, hundreds of tips, and
it still was relatively stale the case. And I grabbed
the case agent on the way out and I said,
you're going to get me this guy. You're going to
track this guy.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Down, We're going to find them.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
You're going to get me this sky. I want him.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
And they did, and they did it relatively quickly, considering
the case was stale. As Bongino says at the start
of that, there are still people out there that don't
necessarily believe this is the person responsible.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
More information might be coming later today to maybe further
prove that this person is in fact the one who
put the bomb out in those places. But I just
love every part of the fact that this version of
the FBI, if they want to get something done and
don't want to drag their feet for whatever reason, the
Biden administration did, and boom, they go ahead and get
(02:39):
it done. Another thing out there that's a big story
somehow still is a discussion about a second missile that
was fired at a boat in the water that was
still floating that had.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Drugs on it.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Several people have come out to refute the New York
Time reporting that Pete Hegzeth just was out for blood
and wanted to commit a war crime. And essentially this
is business as usual in some ways when fighting any
sort of terrorists, that you make sure that the product
is gone, that it's sunk, that it's at the bottom
of the ocean, because somebody can come along pick it
(03:11):
up and keep going. With the delivery of said drugs.
One of the more interesting interviews came from Mark Theeson.
Juan Fox talked about how often the Obama administration used
a second strike. This was again while they were fighting terrorists.
Trump has said that these narcotics people, these narcos that
come in from other countries, are in fact terrorists. We're
(03:32):
harming our country to a ridiculous degree, and so we're
fighting them the same way we'd fight a terrorist in
other places. Here is Thesan talking about how often this happened,
how regular of occurrence it was, and how media didn't
care about a second strike happening well fighting terrorists.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Barack Obama had a drone campaign. He fired five hundred
and sixty drone strikes, killed not just terrorists, but killed
an American citizen on war Allacky did on the ground,
violating sovereignty instead of an international waters and he regularly
did what are called double tap and even trouble tap strikes.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I interviewed David shad who.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
On my podcast What the Hell Is going On Today?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
By the way, I love that he dropped a podcast
promo There Way to Go. Mark Beason, the Matt and
Craig excellent podcast is also available and out there for
anyone that want.
Speaker 7 (04:20):
There.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
You Carl, get back to the serious who.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
Was the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency under Obama,
and he said, we did double tap strikes all of
the time, and we usually had a second predator in
the sky waiting for the intelligence to clear to see
if there were any survivors so we could take them out.
So this was a regular practice under the Obama administration
because they were going after terrorist Trump has declared these
people for this foreign terrorist organizations. He's using the same
(04:45):
authority as the Obama administrator.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah, and Trump didn't even actually do this himself. Pete
Hegseth didn't do this himself. An admiral who was actually,
you know, conducting this campaign, as the one who said
that boat is still floating, we got to make sure
it sinks because you can come along, pick it up
and read it.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
But the fact that this is such a ridiculous argument
and conspiracy theory and all this stuff in mainstream media
to go after Hegseeth or anyone, it does demonstrate to
me how over the target all of these people that
Trump brought in seem to be because of how much
media can't get rid of them or can't find a
way to get rid of them, and they're trying so
(05:20):
desperately to do it. This narrative, that narrative continues to
pop up because of how much they hate the people
who are actually in a position of power right now,
because they're outsiders and they're people who don't seem to
be biable the way that other people have been in
the past. At least to me, that seems to be
why the FBI is cracking cases that they couldn't crack
air quotes when Biden was in office and doing so
(05:42):
much more. All right, quick break, A lot coming up.
Craig Collins filling in Tony CAAT's The Morning News ninety
three WIBC. Tony CAAT's The Morning News ninety three WIBC.
My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be
with you, Matt and Carl hanging out as they do
every morning on this show. My wife went to her
(06:02):
work this morning. That's the normal thing. That's not really
an update on the radio. However, she wore the most ridiculous,
ugly Christmas sweater because they're doing an ugly Christmas sweater
contest today at her job, and she actually like made
it herself. She bought a sweater and had a bunch
of like very sparkly stuff on it, and then she
was all last night like looing and putting other things
(06:22):
on it.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
There were rules. It wasn't allowed to make music of
any kind.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
You couldn't have like a soundbox in it because that's cheap,
and you couldn't have lights on it. My wife had
put lights on it, so she had to take them off.
But it's insane. And I'm getting text this morning from
the missus saying she feels a little embarrassed at work
that she went so over and above in going you know,
down this road for this type of.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Contest, and I keep encouraging her.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I'm like, you know, honey, I'll share the photos online
or something to show you how people support it. But
I love when people do this, not just because it's
my wife who did it. Like going over the top
for a workplace competition, I think usually gets you a
lot of praise in the office because not a.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Lot lot of people will do it. Anyone want to
react to that.
Speaker 8 (07:02):
I think it's fantastic that people do enjoy doing this. Yes,
that there are still people left that want to do
the right ugly sweater contest? How fun is that I'm
looking at this? So she gets to work out. There's
nobody else dressed up, at least not like she was
putting in the effort into the weather. It's just she's
kind of sticky out right.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Right now, it's early in the day, not a lot
of people are there, the contest hasn't started. They're going
to put people up on a stage and the whole
office is going to like applaud for the people that
they think have the best ugly sweaters.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
But I just it's so funny.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
My wife is so creative that like creating the sweater
and putting all she glued like.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Stuffed animals on it.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
There's a stuffed animal like Santa on one shoulder and
something else on the other side. But anyway, as she's
creating this thing, she was having a lot of fun.
Now she's embarrassed wearing it at work. But I promise
it's going to go well and she might win one
hundred bucks. That's really all that matters.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Did she bring a change of clothes just in case?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I don't think so. I'm going to ask her that
I don't think so. I think she's got to wear
this sweater the whole day. Oh yeah, I know, But dude,
to make it, thank you, to make it a more
macro thing.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
A macro thing when someone goes.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Above and beyond in any sort of stupid contest at work,
I never think poorly of those people. I kind of
enjoy the fact, and I'm not usually the one to
do it, but I kind of enjoy the fact that
somebody is going to like double and triple effort in
some of these like stupid things where everyone else is
just going to swing by a target and buy an
ugly sweater and call it a day.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
Well, I'm so cynical. If I see somebody, it depends
on if I like them or not. And I like
the fact that people are participating in this kind of
thing because if your friends are doing it and your
friends are work, you know, you're kind of just enjoyed
it together and enjoying the holidays. And I think everybody
should do all they can too enjoy the holidays because
the days are so damn stressful and they get on
your skitting so much. But I do get somebody looking
(08:49):
at somebody else and being like, that's psycho fantic behavior.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
You know, they're just doing that to kiss answer right now,
and that's.
Speaker 8 (08:55):
I think that's a lot of judgment on our end,
but I'm admitding, yeah, I have that feeling. Just be like, yes,
this person is just trying to get ahead, you know,
and that's why they're doing it.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
And I love the fact.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, I love the fact that you said that. It's
if you like them or not. You look at them
and you're like, ah.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
True story.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Man.
Speaker 8 (09:14):
I hate saying it like that, but I'm sure I'm
not the only one. Yeah, it's there's some truth there.
If you like the person, that's really cool. And I'm
sure everybody loves your wife. I mean she sounds like
a lovely woman, you know, and lovely. Yeah, she puts
the sweater together, and I'm sure it's really cool. It's
probably going to be the life of everybody's day. So
even if she feels a little bit awkward that person,
like say somebody audience is planning to do it, You're
(09:35):
you're going to feel good that you brighten the office
a little bit.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
That's it here.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I'll explain who my wife is in workplaces, just you know,
she's very quiet. She's not a very like outgoing, very
crazy person in the office. She's usually a keep to
herself kind of person. And so that's why I think
she's going.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
To stick out in a good way today.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Because she's not She's probably hasn't had a big conversation
with a lot of the people that will see her
in the wider office she works in because she kind
of sticks to her own the team, and so I
think those people can do a good job in these moments.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
But I heavily agree with you, dude that.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Every once in a while, the person who's kissing up
all the time, when they go over the top with
these kind of competitions, there is that part of your
brain that's like, this guy again, this piece of crap
again doing this thing and going out there, and it
does annoy you so absolutely.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I agree with you too.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
On that it just makes you want to yea. I mean,
it's just like, come on, dude.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Absolutely does other things out there that I saw that
I like the most mispronounced words of twenty twenty five.
These are ones that we needed to check out to
make sure that we were saying them right, and oftentimes
we were saying them wrong. One of the words that
made the list is a brand of weight loss drug Lego.
Zempic Manjaro is one that I think I'm saying it right,
but people say that that one's often mispronounced. A Zoron
(10:46):
Mamdani is another one that people got wrong a lot.
I liked SNL's joke Zolta rob Zombie. That was probably
my favorite of those that was out there.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, it's pretty good.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And then finally, the loop is something that people say
wrong because it's actually pronounced louvra. But anybody who's ever
said the louverra to you in a conversation you want
to slap for being pompous.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
I had no idea. I had no idea. I've been
saying to live my entire life. It's louverra.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yes, yeah, there's a ruw that ari at the end
in French. But that that's what I hate when people
this kind of sounds like the sick of person again,
when they over pronounce those things in other languages that
we don't say here in the United States and then
look at you like you're an idiot for not saying
it yourself. If you have a friend that goes it's
the louverra. This person's probably annoying.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
What about Spanish reporters over enunciating the rs.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Dude, I find that annoying.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
To love it? Why so much?
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Love it?
Speaker 8 (11:42):
I want to hear that rolling R in my sleep.
Oh it's beautiful. It's just especially if it comes from
a female. It's just like I can't do it myself.
I was told I can't speak Spanish ever in my
life because I can't roll my RS, so I stopped
trying to learn study phone.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I can't roll my rs either, And when I go
to Mexico around my wife's family, I hear about that
a lot.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
They go and I probably.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
They go ring up.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I look at him doing it, Look at him doing it.
Even my name has an R in it, by the way,
which is horrible.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
What's the ruling on that? I mean, being married to
a Latina you might know the ruling. Can you still
speak Spanish if you can't roll your rs?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
They'll laugh at you.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
I'm used to that.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
My favorite story is when I was speaking Spanish to
little kids like the nieces and nephews of my family.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Laughing at you, and the kids were laughing at me.
They're like, this guy is such an idiot.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
And my my wife and everybody behind me also laughing.
They were like, it's great that the kids are making
fun of the gringo. And I'm like, this is a
terrible day. Sayama, no, no, no, I'm not doing it.
I'm not You're not tricking me into that year, Carl.
All right, we'll take a break. We have a lot
to get through today. Once again, I hope my wife wins,
mostly because a hundred bucks is on the line and
I'd like her to come home with a hundred dollars
(12:55):
gift card since we probably spent like fifty bucks on
the sweater at this point, with the amount of items
you put on it, we really need the gift card
to do better than break even.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
All right, quick break a lot more.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Tony Katz in the Morning News ninety three WIBC. My
name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be with you.
A bunch of stuff out there to talk about. Richard
gear Is in the news. This is kind of odd.
He recently said that illegal aliens, people who are here
without the right to be, are just like you and me.
They're really not that different than any of the rest
(13:28):
of us. I love that Richard Gear would go viral
for saying that first and foremost, because he's very different
from most of us in just how successful he is,
how much.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Case he has, etc.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Some people who responded to his comment said, are your
lawn care people worth as much money as you are?
I don't need to turn it into a money thing,
per se, but I just think it's kind of funny
this narrative, that this version of talking point is so
comically used by so many people, especially on the left,
(13:59):
that it's on sense and makes no sense at all.
I can play the actual audio of Richard Gear talking
about this first, and then we can get into it more.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Here we go.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
The planet has fallen off a cliff into the stupid
zone where I don't even know what's going on anymore.
This is a small planet. We have to work together
and live together, and.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
We can do that.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
We can all do it together, please, and everybody is
just like you and me, as far as the refugees
and everyone else is. I love the kumbaya of so
much of this, mostly because, in my opinion, when they
go down this road, they don't have a more valuable
place to actually talk about the things that are indeed
a problem, other things that are actually causing us to
(14:41):
have issues or challenges that make a lot more people
in this country anti illegal immigration. What I mean by
that if I want to get specific about it, And
this was my favorite thing that I saw happen during
the Biden administration.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
This specific thing that I'm about to tell you.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
People on the South Side is Cago got up in
arms angry about the amount of money going to illegal immigrants.
These are hardcore Democratic voters on the South Side. It
was a lot of black communities who were doing this
and saying this too. Their main objection was that they
weren't getting the money they wanted in free handouts from
the government. How dare they go to people who were
(15:20):
here without the right to be here before they went
to their community?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
And they're right about that.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I don't think handouts work for anybody at all, But
I'll tell you that I would be as.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Mad as them.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
But there was viral you know, like video after viral
video of the mayor there of other people dealing with
the outrage from that community as they saw more and
more money going to places it shouldn't have gone, according
to so many people who live on the South Side
of Chicago, and.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I loved people Waking up is the way that I
would say it, because more and more people need to
the challenges that we face and the you know, problems
that come with people coming into this country without any
version of knowing who they are or where they come
from or what they intend to do here. It's obviously bad.
And when people like Richard gear say how it's just
(16:10):
people being heartless and mean and racist and all these
other things in response to it, you know how little
involvement or connection they actually have to the issue at hand.
I'll give you one more example of this. There's another
one I really like as an example, and it's whenever
anybody who's never even been around a gun tells you
why they think gun laws need to be changed, and
(16:30):
you'll ask them. You're like, oh, have you ever experienced
shooting a gun or being around someone else who did?
And they say no, They're like, absolutely not, I've never
been anywhere near it. And you'd think that it'd be
so easy to experience that that you could go to
a range fire. You do not have to own one.
You can fire one. You can rent one. If you're
going to have a ridiculously strong opinion about something, at
(16:52):
least give yourself the opportunity to experience it. If you can't.
It doesn't have to be that way. I'm not telling
you can only talk about stuff that you've experienced. Of course,
we can talk about whatever we want. But it just
it amazes me that there are people that are so
ridiculously one sided in their opinion on something like that,
and they have no interest, no ability, no desire whatsoever
(17:16):
to even try it, just once, just to reaffirm that opinion.
There are people who are desperately afraid of doing research
about some of the things they most believe in. And
I know that people make fun of doing research, like, oh,
you go to Google or whatever your social media platform is,
look some things up, and you really think that you're
(17:36):
now an expert in it. At least I did that part,
at least when I developed my crazy opinion about something
or whatever you think a crazy opinion is, at least
I want the.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Extra road to look into it.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I love the people who don't do that, And I've
actually at other radio stations I've worked at and filled
in on some of them somewhat recently, this one in Florida.
For example, I had someone call in and disagree with
me on something and it's very easy, very simple to
look up. It wasn't even an opinion, it was really
a fact, and I asked them to do it, and
on the air, the person goes, no, like, I'm not
(18:06):
gonna do that. Why would I look things up to
learn that I'm wrong. I would rather stay blistfully unaware
of how much of an idiot I am on this issue.
And it's amazing how often that seems to occur, and
it seems like it happens in a lot of these
places where people are having discussions about the things that
they believe. For the racist, sexist, whatever it is reason
they think they're protecting someone, and they refuse to get
(18:29):
the details of why everyone on the other side thinks
what they do without being racist or sexist or any
of the things they call them. All right, we'll take
a break. We have a little bit of fun before
we get out of here. This is Creig Collins filling
in Tony Kat's The Morning News ninety three wibc oh
Tony Kat's The Morning News ninety three WIBC. My name
(18:51):
is Craig Collins, filling in Matt and Carl hanging out.
We're doing the TV theme song thing. Yeah, I'm not
getting this one. No, I know it's not landing for me.
I know, I gotta have to. I'm going to have
to phone a friend h if we can.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Thank you, sir, to be Survivor.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Survivor bear.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
You know what touched me?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
You know it's uh huh.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
You know what's sad about this? I had a friend
that was on a season of Survivor.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Oh wow, did you not know this?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I don't know, man, well, I kept getting the clips
from the dude. His name is Asian Mike in our
group of friends because he's Asian guy named Mike, and
he was Frosty on the China season of Survivor. That
is his nickname. He is a parkour dude, and I
think he made it like six episodes and they voted
him off because he was too good at the uh
the competition stuff, because he was better than everybody else
(19:52):
at the crazy things that parkour people would be good at. Yeah,
I now I think I have to text Asian Mike
and tell him I'm sorry that I forgot about this theme.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Song's not from Conressville because.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Not another story out there that I saw. I used
to do a segment every so often when I filled
in for Tony, and I do with some other places
where I apologize for clicking on clickbait that ruins the
Internet because there's so many stories out there that are
just stupid and dumb, and the headline is the thing
that makes you reread it and it's not valuable.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I'm not going to play the audio.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
But I saw a headline today as I was looking
for stuff to talk about, and it's some influencer girl.
I think she's like twenty seven. Her name's Madeline Kleine.
But here's the headline, Madeline Kline underwear photo is risky
but paid off. This is the topic, and it goes
into detail about how celebrities who take photos of themselves
in their underwear often go viral for the photos of
(20:47):
themselves in their underwear. So it's a great financial move
and they're encouraging more.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Yeah, thank you, Carl.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
They're encouraging more celebrities to take underwear photos because it's
a smart marketing.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
Campaig attractive.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
She is, in fact, twenty seven year old blonde woman, amazing,
factive looking. Yeah, I know, but I wanted us to
weigh in on the idea that an underwear photo is
always a good move.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
According to this website and this thing.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
It's always a good move.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
I don't know, it's saying anyone that wants to go viral,
that wants to up their level of fame in or
the money we get for being famous.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Yeah, it can go viral for the wrong reasons.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
To you put the underwear photo out there? Matt, do
you want to weigh in on this?
Speaker 8 (21:27):
I remember when cameras were first put on our phones,
we were told not to do this. We were told
from the very beginning this was a bad idea. Now
it's a very good idea.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
You know, with the enhancements of social media and everybody
gets a filter, why wouldn't you do it? Because you
know when you put that picture out, it's not going
to look a thing like you.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
So go ahead.
Speaker 8 (21:47):
I mean with celebrities, I mean they have the best
people to do this for them. I mean, I put
a picture out of myself, it's gonna look like me
because I don't know what they all I am doing. But
if the celebrity has a team of monkeys to run
this through, so it's gonna look fake, it's going to
be touched up.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I just love the take that the guy is trying
to write like a five page or five paragraph essay
on a woman in underwear, and he's trying to make
it a business thing. He's like, this is a great
business decision. More people need to do this. The celebrities
that aren't taking photos themselves in their underwear, they need
to get in on this craze because I love that
you're trying to pretend it's serious. I feel like, what
happened if I'm going to give a false narrative to
(22:23):
this story is the guy was looking at the photo.
His significant other, his wife saw him looking at the
photo and it's like, what are you doing? And he's like,
I'm researching a story. This is first story. I want
to see the financial Yeah, I want to see the
financial impact of her posing in this underwear photo so
different than the ones she poses in that or not
in fact in her underwear. But I agree, I encourage
(22:43):
more celebrities go to the underwear road and see what happened.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Now, everybody do that. I don't care how you make it.
Speaker 8 (22:48):
Go make your money, you know, I mean, if you
get paid doing that, it's not going to bother me
at all.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
I could choose whether or not to look at it.
That's what it comes down to it.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
If somebody wants to subscribe for that, I'm not going
to be the guy. But if somebody else wants to
do that, that's spend your money. However you want more
power to you.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Well.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I also love the idea that any news is good news, right, Like,
even if it does go viral for the wrong reasons,
you're still getting talked about in.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
The news, so maybe there's still some value there. I guess.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
H give me attention, that's all I want.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
That's all anybody on the internet. Once there's another story
out there. This is very adult in nature. We're at
the tail end of the show. I know it's a
morning show. So sometimes when I find these stories, I
decide to wait till now. We're going to run out
of time on this one. Anybody get mad at me,
I'm sorry. There is a young woman named Bonnie Blue
who's in the news today.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
I love I love that. Matt's already laughing. All right,
all right, we'll wait for that.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
By the way, one of our most viral episodes of
the Matt and Craig Excellent Podcast involves us talking about.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Involves us talking about Jenna Jamison.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Also, the title of the episode, Hooters Is for Everyone
or Hooters for the Whole Family, has gone viral. Anyway,
this young woman, she's on a tour in Bali. I
don't want to tell you what the tour is about,
because that's the part we probably can't talk about on
regular radio. But anyway, her bus got pulled over and
there was suspic what's that.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
I just said, three hour tour.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Sorry, there was suspicion that some illegal activity was happening
on the bus in Bali. And the problem is what
they're advertising the bus to be. And the young woman
is bus known for some of the adult content she
creates online. It's now gone viral her trying to claim
that the bus is not doing the things that they
ask her if it's doing, because the name of the
(24:32):
bus was highly inappropriate as they're driving around.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
With this on the sign.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
So I simply asked how difficult it would be to
be her and try to convince somebody you're not doing
something you shouldn't do in Bali, when it's evidently true
that the bus you're you know, standing in front of
is named the thing you're not supposed to be doing.
It's like driving around saying like I'm definitely not doing drugs, officer,
and you're driving in the drug car.
Speaker 8 (24:54):
You have a little bumper cigare that says high times
right mean he thinks you should be a little bit
inconspicuous about you know, I kind of fly under the radar,
you know, like our stealth bombers just kind of get
underneath that zone.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I feel like that's got to be the sweet spot.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
And if you're a celebrity and a social media influencer,
whatever this person is, I feel like you think that
some of these laws don't apply to you. But you
can't drive around a place advertising the thing you're doing
if it's illegal there and have it as the name
of the place, the name of the vehicle you're driving.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
I find it unbelievable that whatever she was doing is
illegal and Bali.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I guess it's the public nature of it. Carl here too.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
It might be illegal a lot of places, not because
of the activity itself, but you're doing it on a
bus with windows and people might be seeing it.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
That might be the problem. All right, I'm gonna.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Build a bus.
Speaker 8 (25:45):
It's just going to say weed bus on the side.
I expect cops not to pull me over, you know.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Although you know I will say this, and this is
a follow up to it. If you just had no
one on the bus, if it was just like one
guy driving it and this was the distraction bus, that's
a great idea as far as as a criminal goes.
You drive around one thing called something and nothing bad
is happening on that one, and then in a very
inconspicuous second bus. If you're doing all this stuff you
shouldn't be doing. They should have like a lead car
(26:12):
like a NASCAR for the drug people that says drug
car and drives different directions and that one's totally clean,
and then the one behind it is the one that
is all the stuff in it.
Speaker 8 (26:20):
We already have those that are just called mules, and
any international airport in the United States, I think this
is all fantastic. I mean, you could just put party
bus on the side. You could have put a bus
of good times, happy bus.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Whatever.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
You just advertise that you don't have much case in
the court of law. That's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
You know, this is all true, all this is great. Instead,
the bus was called the B word bus. And that's
as close as you're getting. That's as close as I'm
getting to describing the topic and not getting fired on
WIBC or getting us fined
Tony Katsy morn Is ninety three WIBC.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
My name is Craig Collins. Coming in a few big
stories out there.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
First, the FBI, the Department of Justice has announced that
they have caught the person responsible for placing pipe bombs
outside both the DNC and RNC the evening before January sixth,
in two thousand and one, twenty twenty one. Excuse me,
A lot of discussions about this topic, a lot of
things going into it. One of the more embarrassing moments
(00:32):
I'll tell you is CNN describing the person as a
white guy.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
He is a black man.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
The photo evidently demonstrates he's a black man, and yet
Jake Tapper refuses to think facts need to disrupt his
narrative as he talked about it here, I'll play that
audio quickly.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
First, well, attack Brian Cole Junior, a thirty year old
white man from now DC Suburbs, is charts with transporting
an explosive device in interstate commerce and with malicious destruction
by means of explosions.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I thought that was pretty interesting. He goes, what's his name,
Brian Cole? Oh, he's from the suburbs. White guy doesn't
have to look into it at all. He is a
black man again, so swinging a miss by Tapper there.
Dan Bongino was proud of this. It's something that when
he first joined the FBI, he said that within fifteen
minutes he was talking about wanting to bring this guy
in and didn't understand how they had not caught him yet.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Here's a little bit of that audio.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
First meeting. My first meeting, I swore in and I
kid you now, probably fifteen minutes later and the people
who are into meeting know, I said, when I get
in there, I want a full brief on this pipe
bomber case on day one. And I looked at the
case agent after getting a full brief on what they'd done,
and they had done some a pretty extensive amount of work.
(01:46):
They had chased down I think thousands of leads, six
thousand plus interviews had been conducted, hundreds of tips, and
it still was relatively stale the case. And I grabbed
the case agent on the way out and I said,
you're going to get me this guy. You're going to
track this guy.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Down, We're going to find them.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
You're going to get me this sky. I want him.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
And they did, and they did it relatively quickly, considering
the case was stale. As Bongino says at the start
of that, there are still people out there that don't
necessarily believe this is the person responsible.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
More information might be coming later today to maybe further
prove that this person is in fact the one who
put the bomb out in those places. But I just
love every part of the fact that this version of
the FBI, if they want to get something done and
don't want to drag their feet for whatever reason, the
Biden administration did, and boom, they go ahead and get
(02:39):
it done. Another thing out there that's a big story
somehow still is a discussion about a second missile that
was fired at a boat in the water that was
still floating that had.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Drugs on it.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Several people have come out to refute the New York
Time reporting that Pete Hegzeth just was out for blood
and wanted to commit a war crime. And essentially this
is business as usual in some ways when fighting any
sort of terrorists, that you make sure that the product
is gone, that it's sunk, that it's at the bottom
of the ocean, because somebody can come along pick it
(03:11):
up and keep going. With the delivery of said drugs.
One of the more interesting interviews came from Mark Theeson.
Juan Fox talked about how often the Obama administration used
a second strike. This was again while they were fighting terrorists.
Trump has said that these narcotics people, these narcos that
come in from other countries, are in fact terrorists. We're
(03:32):
harming our country to a ridiculous degree, and so we're
fighting them the same way we'd fight a terrorist in
other places. Here is Thesan talking about how often this happened,
how regular of occurrence it was, and how media didn't
care about a second strike happening well fighting terrorists.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Barack Obama had a drone campaign. He fired five hundred
and sixty drone strikes, killed not just terrorists, but killed
an American citizen on war Allacky did on the ground,
violating sovereignty instead of an international waters and he regularly
did what are called double tap and even trouble tap strikes.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I interviewed David shad who.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
On my podcast What the Hell Is going On Today?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
By the way, I love that he dropped a podcast
promo There Way to Go. Mark Beason, the Matt and
Craig excellent podcast is also available and out there for
anyone that want.
Speaker 7 (04:20):
There.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
You Carl, get back to the serious who.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
Was the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency under Obama,
and he said, we did double tap strikes all of
the time, and we usually had a second predator in
the sky waiting for the intelligence to clear to see
if there were any survivors so we could take them out.
So this was a regular practice under the Obama administration
because they were going after terrorist Trump has declared these
people for this foreign terrorist organizations. He's using the same
(04:45):
authority as the Obama administrator.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah, and Trump didn't even actually do this himself. Pete
Hegseth didn't do this himself. An admiral who was actually,
you know, conducting this campaign, as the one who said
that boat is still floating, we got to make sure
it sinks because you can come along, pick it up
and read it.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
But the fact that this is such a ridiculous argument
and conspiracy theory and all this stuff in mainstream media
to go after Hegseeth or anyone, it does demonstrate to
me how over the target all of these people that
Trump brought in seem to be because of how much
media can't get rid of them or can't find a
way to get rid of them, and they're trying so
(05:20):
desperately to do it. This narrative, that narrative continues to
pop up because of how much they hate the people
who are actually in a position of power right now,
because they're outsiders and they're people who don't seem to
be biable the way that other people have been in
the past. At least to me, that seems to be
why the FBI is cracking cases that they couldn't crack
air quotes when Biden was in office and doing so
(05:42):
much more. All right, quick break, A lot coming up.
Craig Collins filling in Tony CAAT's The Morning News ninety
three WIBC. Tony CAAT's The Morning News ninety three WIBC.
My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be
with you, Matt and Carl hanging out as they do
every morning on this show. My wife went to her
(06:02):
work this morning. That's the normal thing. That's not really
an update on the radio. However, she wore the most ridiculous,
ugly Christmas sweater because they're doing an ugly Christmas sweater
contest today at her job, and she actually like made
it herself. She bought a sweater and had a bunch
of like very sparkly stuff on it, and then she
was all last night like looing and putting other things
(06:22):
on it.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
There were rules. It wasn't allowed to make music of
any kind.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
You couldn't have like a soundbox in it because that's cheap,
and you couldn't have lights on it. My wife had
put lights on it, so she had to take them off.
But it's insane. And I'm getting text this morning from
the missus saying she feels a little embarrassed at work
that she went so over and above in going you know,
down this road for this type of.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Contest, and I keep encouraging her.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I'm like, you know, honey, I'll share the photos online
or something to show you how people support it. But
I love when people do this, not just because it's
my wife who did it. Like going over the top
for a workplace competition, I think usually gets you a
lot of praise in the office because not a.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Lot lot of people will do it. Anyone want to
react to that.
Speaker 8 (07:02):
I think it's fantastic that people do enjoy doing this. Yes,
that there are still people left that want to do
the right ugly sweater contest? How fun is that I'm
looking at this? So she gets to work out. There's
nobody else dressed up, at least not like she was
putting in the effort into the weather. It's just she's
kind of sticky out right.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Right now, it's early in the day, not a lot
of people are there, the contest hasn't started. They're going
to put people up on a stage and the whole
office is going to like applaud for the people that
they think have the best ugly sweaters.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
But I just it's so funny.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
My wife is so creative that like creating the sweater
and putting all she glued like.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Stuffed animals on it.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
There's a stuffed animal like Santa on one shoulder and
something else on the other side. But anyway, as she's
creating this thing, she was having a lot of fun.
Now she's embarrassed wearing it at work. But I promise
it's going to go well and she might win one
hundred bucks. That's really all that matters.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Did she bring a change of clothes just in case?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I don't think so. I'm going to ask her that
I don't think so. I think she's got to wear
this sweater the whole day. Oh yeah, I know, But dude,
to make it, thank you, to make it a more
macro thing.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
A macro thing when someone goes.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Above and beyond in any sort of stupid contest at work,
I never think poorly of those people. I kind of
enjoy the fact, and I'm not usually the one to
do it, but I kind of enjoy the fact that
somebody is going to like double and triple effort in
some of these like stupid things where everyone else is
just going to swing by a target and buy an
ugly sweater and call it a day.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
Well, I'm so cynical. If I see somebody, it depends
on if I like them or not. And I like
the fact that people are participating in this kind of
thing because if your friends are doing it and your
friends are work, you know, you're kind of just enjoyed
it together and enjoying the holidays. And I think everybody
should do all they can too enjoy the holidays because
the days are so damn stressful and they get on
your skitting so much. But I do get somebody looking
(08:49):
at somebody else and being like, that's psycho fantic behavior.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
You know, they're just doing that to kiss answer right now,
and that's.
Speaker 8 (08:55):
I think that's a lot of judgment on our end,
but I'm admitding, yeah, I have that feeling. Just be like, yes,
this person is just trying to get ahead, you know,
and that's why they're doing it.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
And I love the fact.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, I love the fact that you said that. It's
if you like them or not. You look at them
and you're like, ah.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
True story.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Man.
Speaker 8 (09:14):
I hate saying it like that, but I'm sure I'm
not the only one. Yeah, it's there's some truth there.
If you like the person, that's really cool. And I'm
sure everybody loves your wife. I mean she sounds like
a lovely woman, you know, and lovely. Yeah, she puts
the sweater together, and I'm sure it's really cool. It's
probably going to be the life of everybody's day. So
even if she feels a little bit awkward that person,
like say somebody audience is planning to do it, You're
(09:35):
you're going to feel good that you brighten the office
a little bit.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
That's it here.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I'll explain who my wife is in workplaces, just you know,
she's very quiet. She's not a very like outgoing, very
crazy person in the office. She's usually a keep to
herself kind of person. And so that's why I think
she's going.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
To stick out in a good way today.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Because she's not She's probably hasn't had a big conversation
with a lot of the people that will see her
in the wider office she works in because she kind
of sticks to her own the team, and so I
think those people can do a good job in these moments.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
But I heavily agree with you, dude that.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Every once in a while, the person who's kissing up
all the time, when they go over the top with
these kind of competitions, there is that part of your
brain that's like, this guy again, this piece of crap
again doing this thing and going out there, and it
does annoy you so absolutely.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I agree with you too.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
On that it just makes you want to yea. I mean,
it's just like, come on, dude.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Absolutely does other things out there that I saw that
I like the most mispronounced words of twenty twenty five.
These are ones that we needed to check out to
make sure that we were saying them right, and oftentimes
we were saying them wrong. One of the words that
made the list is a brand of weight loss drug Lego.
Zempic Manjaro is one that I think I'm saying it right,
but people say that that one's often mispronounced. A Zoron
(10:46):
Mamdani is another one that people got wrong a lot.
I liked SNL's joke Zolta rob Zombie. That was probably
my favorite of those that was out there.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, it's pretty good.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And then finally, the loop is something that people say
wrong because it's actually pronounced louvra. But anybody who's ever
said the louverra to you in a conversation you want
to slap for being pompous.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
I had no idea. I had no idea. I've been
saying to live my entire life. It's louverra.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yes, yeah, there's a ruw that ari at the end
in French. But that that's what I hate when people
this kind of sounds like the sick of person again,
when they over pronounce those things in other languages that
we don't say here in the United States and then
look at you like you're an idiot for not saying
it yourself. If you have a friend that goes it's
the louverra. This person's probably annoying.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
What about Spanish reporters over enunciating the rs.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Dude, I find that annoying.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
To love it? Why so much?
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Love it?
Speaker 8 (11:42):
I want to hear that rolling R in my sleep.
Oh it's beautiful. It's just especially if it comes from
a female. It's just like I can't do it myself.
I was told I can't speak Spanish ever in my
life because I can't roll my RS, so I stopped
trying to learn study phone.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I can't roll my rs either, And when I go
to Mexico around my wife's family, I hear about that
a lot.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
They go and I probably.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
They go ring up.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I look at him doing it, Look at him doing it.
Even my name has an R in it, by the way,
which is horrible.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
What's the ruling on that? I mean, being married to
a Latina you might know the ruling. Can you still
speak Spanish if you can't roll your rs?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
They'll laugh at you.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
I'm used to that.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
My favorite story is when I was speaking Spanish to
little kids like the nieces and nephews of my family.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Laughing at you, and the kids were laughing at me.
They're like, this guy is such an idiot.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
And my my wife and everybody behind me also laughing.
They were like, it's great that the kids are making
fun of the gringo. And I'm like, this is a
terrible day. Sayama, no, no, no, I'm not doing it.
I'm not You're not tricking me into that year, Carl.
All right, we'll take a break. We have a lot
to get through today. Once again, I hope my wife wins,
mostly because a hundred bucks is on the line and
I'd like her to come home with a hundred dollars
(12:55):
gift card since we probably spent like fifty bucks on
the sweater at this point, with the amount of items
you put on it, we really need the gift card
to do better than break even.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
All right, quick break a lot more.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Tony Katz in the Morning News ninety three WIBC. My
name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be with you.
A bunch of stuff out there to talk about. Richard
gear Is in the news. This is kind of odd.
He recently said that illegal aliens, people who are here
without the right to be, are just like you and me.
They're really not that different than any of the rest
(13:28):
of us. I love that Richard Gear would go viral
for saying that first and foremost, because he's very different
from most of us in just how successful he is,
how much.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Case he has, etc.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Some people who responded to his comment said, are your
lawn care people worth as much money as you are?
I don't need to turn it into a money thing,
per se, but I just think it's kind of funny
this narrative, that this version of talking point is so
comically used by so many people, especially on the left,
(13:59):
that it's on sense and makes no sense at all.
I can play the actual audio of Richard Gear talking
about this first, and then we can get into it more.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Here we go.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
The planet has fallen off a cliff into the stupid
zone where I don't even know what's going on anymore.
This is a small planet. We have to work together
and live together, and.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
We can do that.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
We can all do it together, please, and everybody is
just like you and me, as far as the refugees
and everyone else is. I love the kumbaya of so
much of this, mostly because, in my opinion, when they
go down this road, they don't have a more valuable
place to actually talk about the things that are indeed
a problem, other things that are actually causing us to
(14:41):
have issues or challenges that make a lot more people
in this country anti illegal immigration. What I mean by
that if I want to get specific about it, And
this was my favorite thing that I saw happen during
the Biden administration.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
This specific thing that I'm about to tell you.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
People on the South Side is Cago got up in
arms angry about the amount of money going to illegal immigrants.
These are hardcore Democratic voters on the South Side. It
was a lot of black communities who were doing this
and saying this too. Their main objection was that they
weren't getting the money they wanted in free handouts from
the government. How dare they go to people who were
(15:20):
here without the right to be here before they went
to their community?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
And they're right about that.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I don't think handouts work for anybody at all, But
I'll tell you that I would be as.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Mad as them.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
But there was viral you know, like video after viral
video of the mayor there of other people dealing with
the outrage from that community as they saw more and
more money going to places it shouldn't have gone, according
to so many people who live on the South Side
of Chicago, and.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I loved people Waking up is the way that I
would say it, because more and more people need to
the challenges that we face and the you know, problems
that come with people coming into this country without any
version of knowing who they are or where they come
from or what they intend to do here. It's obviously bad.
And when people like Richard gear say how it's just
(16:10):
people being heartless and mean and racist and all these
other things in response to it, you know how little
involvement or connection they actually have to the issue at hand.
I'll give you one more example of this. There's another
one I really like as an example, and it's whenever
anybody who's never even been around a gun tells you
why they think gun laws need to be changed, and
(16:30):
you'll ask them. You're like, oh, have you ever experienced
shooting a gun or being around someone else who did?
And they say no, They're like, absolutely not, I've never
been anywhere near it. And you'd think that it'd be
so easy to experience that that you could go to
a range fire. You do not have to own one.
You can fire one. You can rent one. If you're
going to have a ridiculously strong opinion about something, at
(16:52):
least give yourself the opportunity to experience it. If you can't.
It doesn't have to be that way. I'm not telling
you can only talk about stuff that you've experienced. Of course,
we can talk about whatever we want. But it just
it amazes me that there are people that are so
ridiculously one sided in their opinion on something like that,
and they have no interest, no ability, no desire whatsoever
(17:16):
to even try it, just once, just to reaffirm that opinion.
There are people who are desperately afraid of doing research
about some of the things they most believe in. And
I know that people make fun of doing research, like, oh,
you go to Google or whatever your social media platform is,
look some things up, and you really think that you're
(17:36):
now an expert in it. At least I did that part,
at least when I developed my crazy opinion about something
or whatever you think a crazy opinion is, at least
I want the.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Extra road to look into it.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I love the people who don't do that, And I've
actually at other radio stations I've worked at and filled
in on some of them somewhat recently, this one in Florida.
For example, I had someone call in and disagree with
me on something and it's very easy, very simple to
look up. It wasn't even an opinion, it was really
a fact, and I asked them to do it, and
on the air, the person goes, no, like, I'm not
(18:06):
gonna do that. Why would I look things up to
learn that I'm wrong. I would rather stay blistfully unaware
of how much of an idiot I am on this issue.
And it's amazing how often that seems to occur, and
it seems like it happens in a lot of these
places where people are having discussions about the things that
they believe. For the racist, sexist, whatever it is reason
they think they're protecting someone, and they refuse to get
(18:29):
the details of why everyone on the other side thinks
what they do without being racist or sexist or any
of the things they call them. All right, we'll take
a break. We have a little bit of fun before
we get out of here. This is Creig Collins filling
in Tony Kat's The Morning News ninety three wibc oh
Tony Kat's The Morning News ninety three WIBC. My name
(18:51):
is Craig Collins, filling in Matt and Carl hanging out.
We're doing the TV theme song thing. Yeah, I'm not
getting this one. No, I know it's not landing for me.
I know, I gotta have to. I'm going to have
to phone a friend h if we can.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Thank you, sir, to be Survivor.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Survivor bear.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
You know what touched me?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
You know it's uh huh.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
You know what's sad about this? I had a friend
that was on a season of Survivor.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Oh wow, did you not know this?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I don't know, man, well, I kept getting the clips
from the dude. His name is Asian Mike in our
group of friends because he's Asian guy named Mike, and
he was Frosty on the China season of Survivor. That
is his nickname. He is a parkour dude, and I
think he made it like six episodes and they voted
him off because he was too good at the uh
the competition stuff, because he was better than everybody else
(19:52):
at the crazy things that parkour people would be good at. Yeah,
I now I think I have to text Asian Mike
and tell him I'm sorry that I forgot about this theme.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Song's not from Conressville because.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Not another story out there that I saw. I used
to do a segment every so often when I filled
in for Tony, and I do with some other places
where I apologize for clicking on clickbait that ruins the
Internet because there's so many stories out there that are
just stupid and dumb, and the headline is the thing
that makes you reread it and it's not valuable.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I'm not going to play the audio.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
But I saw a headline today as I was looking
for stuff to talk about, and it's some influencer girl.
I think she's like twenty seven. Her name's Madeline Kleine.
But here's the headline, Madeline Kline underwear photo is risky
but paid off. This is the topic, and it goes
into detail about how celebrities who take photos of themselves
in their underwear often go viral for the photos of
(20:47):
themselves in their underwear. So it's a great financial move
and they're encouraging more.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Yeah, thank you, Carl.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
They're encouraging more celebrities to take underwear photos because it's
a smart marketing.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
Campaig attractive.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
She is, in fact, twenty seven year old blonde woman, amazing,
factive looking. Yeah, I know, but I wanted us to
weigh in on the idea that an underwear photo is
always a good move.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
According to this website and this thing.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
It's always a good move.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
I don't know, it's saying anyone that wants to go viral,
that wants to up their level of fame in or
the money we get for being famous.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Yeah, it can go viral for the wrong reasons.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
To you put the underwear photo out there? Matt, do
you want to weigh in on this?
Speaker 8 (21:27):
I remember when cameras were first put on our phones,
we were told not to do this. We were told
from the very beginning this was a bad idea. Now
it's a very good idea.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
You know, with the enhancements of social media and everybody
gets a filter, why wouldn't you do it? Because you
know when you put that picture out, it's not going
to look a thing like you.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
So go ahead.
Speaker 8 (21:47):
I mean with celebrities, I mean they have the best
people to do this for them. I mean, I put
a picture out of myself, it's gonna look like me
because I don't know what they all I am doing. But
if the celebrity has a team of monkeys to run
this through, so it's gonna look fake, it's going to
be touched up.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I just love the take that the guy is trying
to write like a five page or five paragraph essay
on a woman in underwear, and he's trying to make
it a business thing. He's like, this is a great
business decision. More people need to do this. The celebrities
that aren't taking photos themselves in their underwear, they need
to get in on this craze because I love that
you're trying to pretend it's serious. I feel like, what
happened if I'm going to give a false narrative to
(22:23):
this story is the guy was looking at the photo.
His significant other, his wife saw him looking at the
photo and it's like, what are you doing? And he's like,
I'm researching a story. This is first story. I want
to see the financial Yeah, I want to see the
financial impact of her posing in this underwear photo so
different than the ones she poses in that or not
in fact in her underwear. But I agree, I encourage
(22:43):
more celebrities go to the underwear road and see what happened.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Now, everybody do that. I don't care how you make it.
Speaker 8 (22:48):
Go make your money, you know, I mean, if you
get paid doing that, it's not going to bother me
at all.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
I could choose whether or not to look at it.
That's what it comes down to it.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
If somebody wants to subscribe for that, I'm not going
to be the guy. But if somebody else wants to
do that, that's spend your money. However you want more
power to you.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Well.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I also love the idea that any news is good news, right, Like,
even if it does go viral for the wrong reasons,
you're still getting talked about in.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
The news, so maybe there's still some value there. I guess.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
H give me attention, that's all I want.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
That's all anybody on the internet. Once there's another story
out there. This is very adult in nature. We're at
the tail end of the show. I know it's a
morning show. So sometimes when I find these stories, I
decide to wait till now. We're going to run out
of time on this one. Anybody get mad at me,
I'm sorry. There is a young woman named Bonnie Blue
who's in the news today.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
I love I love that. Matt's already laughing. All right,
all right, we'll wait for that.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
By the way, one of our most viral episodes of
the Matt and Craig Excellent Podcast involves us talking about.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Involves us talking about Jenna Jamison.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Also, the title of the episode, Hooters Is for Everyone
or Hooters for the Whole Family, has gone viral. Anyway,
this young woman, she's on a tour in Bali. I
don't want to tell you what the tour is about,
because that's the part we probably can't talk about on
regular radio. But anyway, her bus got pulled over and
there was suspic what's that.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
I just said, three hour tour.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Sorry, there was suspicion that some illegal activity was happening
on the bus in Bali. And the problem is what
they're advertising the bus to be. And the young woman
is bus known for some of the adult content she
creates online. It's now gone viral her trying to claim
that the bus is not doing the things that they
ask her if it's doing, because the name of the
(24:32):
bus was highly inappropriate as they're driving around.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
With this on the sign.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
So I simply asked how difficult it would be to
be her and try to convince somebody you're not doing
something you shouldn't do in Bali, when it's evidently true
that the bus you're you know, standing in front of
is named the thing you're not supposed to be doing.
It's like driving around saying like I'm definitely not doing drugs, officer,
and you're driving in the drug car.
Speaker 8 (24:54):
You have a little bumper cigare that says high times
right mean he thinks you should be a little bit
inconspicuous about you know, I kind of fly under the radar,
you know, like our stealth bombers just kind of get
underneath that zone.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I feel like that's got to be the sweet spot.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
And if you're a celebrity and a social media influencer,
whatever this person is, I feel like you think that
some of these laws don't apply to you. But you
can't drive around a place advertising the thing you're doing
if it's illegal there and have it as the name
of the place, the name of the vehicle you're driving.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
I find it unbelievable that whatever she was doing is
illegal and Bali.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I guess it's the public nature of it. Carl here too.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
It might be illegal a lot of places, not because
of the activity itself, but you're doing it on a
bus with windows and people might be seeing it.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
That might be the problem. All right, I'm gonna.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Build a bus.
Speaker 8 (25:45):
It's just going to say weed bus on the side.
I expect cops not to pull me over, you know.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Although you know I will say this, and this is
a follow up to it. If you just had no
one on the bus, if it was just like one
guy driving it and this was the distraction bus, that's
a great idea as far as as a criminal goes.
You drive around one thing called something and nothing bad
is happening on that one, and then in a very
inconspicuous second bus. If you're doing all this stuff you
shouldn't be doing. They should have like a lead car
(26:12):
like a NASCAR for the drug people that says drug
car and drives different directions and that one's totally clean,
and then the one behind it is the one that
is all the stuff in it.
Speaker 8 (26:20):
We already have those that are just called mules, and
any international airport in the United States, I think this
is all fantastic. I mean, you could just put party
bus on the side. You could have put a bus
of good times, happy bus.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Whatever.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
You just advertise that you don't have much case in
the court of law. That's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
You know, this is all true, all this is great. Instead,
the bus was called the B word bus. And that's
as close as you're getting. That's as close as I'm
getting to describing the topic and not getting fired on
WIBC or getting us fined
