SPEAKER_00 (00:15):
Hello, good morning.
It is Tuesday and it is raininghere in Alabama.
Gonna rain all freaking daylong.
Yuck.
Alright, I have a hodgepodge oftopics to talk about today.
Um, let's start with all right.
(00:35):
I don't know if I want to dothis or not.
You know, every year they fromthe Concept 2 rowing app that I
use for when I row, they havedaily workouts.
And they've done a holiday, theyhave they have monthly
challenges, by the way.
But their big one is December,their holiday challenge.
(00:56):
Actually, it goes it goes fromThanksgiving Day until December
24th, Christmas Eve.
And you can pick one or twooptions.
You can do the 100 meters, Imean not 100 meters, 100,000
meters, or 200,000 meters, andthey will give money to the
(01:19):
charity of your well, they giveyou four choices to choose from.
They provide three to fourdifferent charities every year.
So you can choose one that youwant to row for.
And I'm looking at them all, andof course, I picked Valor Fit.
Go look them up, valorfit.org.
(01:39):
I put it out there on my X-File.
It's a guy who came back fromIraq and he became addicted to
alcohol and drugs, but heovercame it, and then he wanted
to start helping other veteranswho come back or come out of the
come out of not just come backfrom war, but any of them that
leave the military or whatever.
(02:00):
I guess you could be active too.
Um, if you having a hard timeadapting back to civilian life
or regular life here, and youget hooked up with drugs or
whatever, he wants to help youfind find because he's
partnered, he has a CrossFitbox.
I know I'm trying having a hardtime talking this morning.
(02:23):
He has a CrossFit gym, and I'venot seen this just with him, but
I've seen it with other peopletoo.
The town that I grew up in, theyhave Dale what's his name?
Dale Jackson?
Dale Strong No, I'm getting theDale Strong is our
representative here.
Dale is somebody from up inPortsmouth, Ohio.
(02:44):
He has Second Second Street,CrossFit Gym, Kettlebell.
I don't know.
I forget the name of it, buthe's doing the same thing.
He was actually on Shark Tank.
Alright, I'm getting way offtopic here.
Anyway, the point is that Idon't know if I want to do it
because it's a lot of rowing.
And here's the thing (03:02):
they only give like two cents or 0.02 for
every thousand kilometers ormeters or whatever.
I and I've done it before, twoyears, I've done it two years in
a row before.
And it only comes to six bucksthat they donate after all of
(03:22):
that.
Now, granted, maybe thousands ofpeople do it because it is a
very, it's a nation, it's aworldwide community, actually.
Not just here in America, thethe Concept 2 community is what
I'm talking about.
The Concept 2 app rower that Iuse.
Um, it's a very large community.
So maybe hopefully maybethousands of people will do it
(03:45):
so they can raise more money.
But it's like I'm doing it forsix bucks.
It's like, I don't know, man.
Is it worth it?
I don't know.
We need to move on.
I'm still gonna think about it.
I'm I'm probably gonna do it.
Excuse me.
Goodness, let me get a drink ofwater here.
Holly.
(04:06):
Alright, let's move on.
Alright, so we have a little bitof an update, not much, of the
football coach Travis Turner whoum went missing.
Well, his wife has spoken up.
This is from a New York Postarticle, but she has since
deleted the post.
Why?
Why delete it?
The wife of a missing VirginiaHigh School football coach,
(04:28):
Travis Turner, urged people tokeep praying.
Her husband returns home afterhe mysteriously vanished last
week in the middle of anundefeated season.
So here's the deal.
We talked about it yesterday.
Uh police were called to hishouse about a complaint.
Not to arrest him, but I guesssomebody called and had a
(04:48):
complaint, and so the policewent over there.
By the time the police gotthere, this guy bolted.
He's gone.
Nobody knows where he is.
So now his uh wife, I guess,went on social media and says,
We love him and need him herewith us.
Thank you to everyone who hasreached out with love and
support.
It means more than you know.
Just keep praying that he comeshome, she said.
(05:09):
Uh, let's see.
There was another, let's see.
Oh, she said, I just wanted toget on here for a second to
clear up something.
As of right now, 10 25 p.m.
on Friday, Travis is missing,and that's all we know.
Leslie Turner wrote in a sincedeleted Facebook post.
Uh, is this the one that Iwanted to know?
No, maybe it's a different uharticle.
(05:32):
Anyway, there's your littleupdate on that.
Oh, so here we go.
Officers were this is I thinkwhat I wanted to find out.
Officers were reportedlydispatched to the 46-year-old
home in Appalachia Thursdayevening and investigate a
complaint not.
Okay, the details of thecomplaint the police were
investigating were notdisclosed.
(05:53):
Here is where I would like someinvestigative journalism to
happen.
Now, granted, this is from theNew York Post.
They're probably writing fromtheir little home in their
little apartment in New YorkCity.
But you can still pick up aphone and try to call people and
figure out what the hell isgoing on.
But the thing is, why not?
This is why news and since wedon't have newspapers anymore
(06:16):
with a staff to pay people to goout and do their jobs, we don't
get the whole story anymore.
We just get like drawn out, overbloat, overblown written pieces
about headlines.
There's no details.
I want to know, get on theground and start asking people
questions.
Please, I want to I want toknow.
(06:37):
Maybe this guy's not thatimportant to do that on.
I don't know.
Moving on.
How much longer can the BillBelichick and Jordan Hudson
Sexed Up Saga Sink?
Oh, here we go.
I have not read this.
I only read the headline and Ithought I know I'm gonna talk
about this.
So forgive me if it's gonna be apiece of crap.
Which it probably is because ofthe topic content.
(06:59):
It's Thanksgiving week, and thename Bill Bilichik is sparking
conversations, just not aboutfootball.
Instead, we're talking about his24-year-old girl, his
24-year-old girlfriend, JordanHudson, and that's a sentence
that remains wild to right.
Bill Bilichick, a greatproselytizer of the no
(07:20):
distractions gospel, is seeingthem multiply like a grand
Thanksgiving bounty.
Just how long will this absurdsaga go?
While the 73-year-old is limpingto the end of a disastrous first
season as head coach at theUniversity of North Carolina,
there are reports of an epicfamily blowout, and Hudson is
(07:42):
publicly threatening to sue apodcaster and former ESPN
reporter.
Uh-oh.
On his best day, Andy Cohencouldn't dream up anything more
salacious.
It's an embarrassing publicpile-up for a notoriously
private man who speaks in gruntsand pauses.
(08:02):
I like this writer.
See, does it say does it tell mewho it is?
Uh published by nope, not I'llhave to go to the original art,
the actual app to find out, I'msure.
Over the weekend, the CaliforniaPost Edward Lewis reported that
Bilichek's daughter-in-law, Jen,allegedly uploaded on Hudson in
(08:23):
a oh, unloaded on Hudson in apost-game rant on November 8th,
calling her a bat shrazy controlfreak and accusing her of effing
twisting Bill's brain.
Honey, Bill is a grown ass70-something year old man.
He is making his own choiceshere.
Okay?
(08:44):
Sources said Jen, who is marriedto Bilichick's son, a defensive
coordinator, Steve, lost it infront of her husband,
father-in-law, and Hudson, andnoted she didn't care if she was
disowned for it.
Oh good for her.
This is the daughter-in-lawthough, not the son.
Also on her platter ofcomplaints, Hudson's fondness of
(09:07):
wearing snakeskin clothing,which many have speculated is
her home homage to TaylorSwift's revenge era.
Yes, it's all message to herhaters.
What?
Whatever, I don't care.
On Sunday night, Hudson, acompetitive cheerleader, logged
onto Instagram to start a fight.
She posted a photo of herselfwearing a necklace that spelled
(09:30):
out banned along with her allaccess credential for UNC's home
field.
The caption was directed atpodcaster and journalist Pablo
Torre.
P.S.
I'm suing you.
Uh-oh.
Torrey has been digging intoHudson and Belichick's uh
unconventional relationship.
Good for him.
Do it.
There's nothing wrong with that.
(09:50):
Freedom, hello, we're inAmerica, Miss Hudson.
A family source told him thereis a deeply there is deep worry
of how detrimental Jordan can befor not just North Carolina, but
Bill's legacy, reputation,everything he has built and
worked for over decades.
Hudson and Belichick invitedsuch scrutiny when she
(10:13):
interrupted CBS's Tony, what'shis name, during what should
have been a fluffy CBS Sundaymorning interview with the coach
to promote his book back inApril.
Blah blah blah.
You remember that.
Family and professional strifeaside, Hudson, who prides
herself on her business chops,seems most hung up on Tory's May
episode where he reported afterspeaking with 11 sources, this
(10:36):
is what I'm talking about.
This is called investigative.
Okay, that she was banned fromUNC's teen facilities.
The university immediately putout a statement to deny it.
Hudson's done her own version ofa denial, swaying on the sign
line on game day.
Despite her snakeskin wardrobeand sassy Instagram posts,
(10:59):
Hudson looks like a wannabe girlboss who is well out of her
depth, yes, threatening tosuutore and isn't the power move
she thinks it is.
Thank you.
If she follows through, she'sinviting a whole new level of
scrutiny and invasion that willnot be kind to her or Billy.
A lawsuit will simply openPandora's box.
(11:20):
Okay, blah blah blah blah.
You can go finish reading thatif you want.
I mean, why would you though,right?
This next one I'm not gonna getinto.
I put it out here on X.
Um you've heard all of theseaccounts being exposed.
I never followed any of thembecause I think they're all
douchey anyway.
Elon Musk's zeal for the truthreveals the online frauds aiming
(11:43):
to divide us.
Um it's probably it's uh butit's written by Glenn Reynolds,
and I hope you go read itbecause Glenn Reynolds is very,
very good.
Back in the day, he has theinsta, he has a blog called the
Instapundent blog.
And back in the day, when webloggers were blogging before
social media came around andeverybody was trying to jockey
(12:04):
for position and and make itbig, he would read blogs and
then post links to his blog, andif that happened, we call we
would call it an installanch,which means when he did that, a
lot of people would come to yoursite and read it, and he still
does that every once in a while.
(12:24):
I've been linked, he's picked upa couple of my articles when I
wrote when I in the Victor Girlsblog.
So he still does it, and it'sfantastic when that happens.
Alright, so anyway, his thisarticle is written by him for
the New York Post, and it'sabout all this things that are
happening.
(12:44):
If you want to go check thatout.
About the I guess is about theaccounts being exposed and
whatnot.
Alright, next one.
I know this is I'm runningalong.
I'm sorry, I'm over 10 minutes.
This next one is this is thebest time.
We're I'm not gonna read it.
Americans claim this is the besttime to put up a Christmas tree,
sparking debate.
And we probably know what it is.
(13:06):
Is it before Thanksgiving orafter Thanksgiving?
And that is the question of theday, kind of Thanksgiving
related.
Do you put your tree up beforeor after?
We put it up after.
I think one time I did put it upbefore because we were having
everybody over and I wanted tohave it decorated.
I think I can't remember now,whatever.
But we're going over to thedaughter's house, and I know she
(13:26):
already has her tree up becauseshe posted it on Instagram, and
it's fine, there's nothing wrongwith that.
I get it.
Sometimes people want to putThanksgiving and Christmas
together.
I get it.
No worries, it's notcontroversial.
Alright, I gotta go.
Thanks for listening.
