Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome to Buzzing Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
To cip radio radio.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Of maybe we should have played that for the last podcast.
You guys like porn, have we got an episode for you?

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Go check out Somebody's buzz podcast the edge of your
side of the seventies?

Speaker 1 (00:48):
The question is did we did we accomplish what people
wanted us to accomplish?

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Start their own damn podcast?

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Somebody let us know. Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode
of both Head Radio.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
We're assuming you know who we are, because, like on
the other podcast, we have an intro, an intro that
just introduces us over here. We don't well, he keep saying,
we're going to do that, but oh sorry, you figured
out I'm dead. That's Curtis.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah. I mean, if you guys have been listening to
this podcast and you only found out today who we were,
let us know, that'd be because yeah, we just assume.
We just assumed the only people listening to this podcast
are the same people that listen to the seventies buzz podcasts.
But that's probably not true because you know what, probably

(01:39):
a lot of you out there that aren't interested in
the seventies.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
I think there is a maybe a couple of countries
that when I look at the geolocation, remind me I'm
gonna do that after a while.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Nobody nobody has uh, so hit us up at five
eight zero five four one three eight oh five or
email buzz at buzsedmedia dot com. If you're from some
foreign country and you're listening to this podcast, we want
to know. Let us know where are you listening to
us from. We want to find the furthest person away

(02:10):
that listens to this podcast.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yeah, Like, for instance, if you live in the country of.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Ecuador, we're spying on you. We see you, I see
you right there.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Ecuador, Ireland, Argentina, Norway, Germany, Church chech che c the
e c h I a chech chia ch chesch you.
And of course we got United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and
the United States.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Somebody in the UK. Somebody, uh, somebody give us a
shout out. Let us know. Yeah, you know, I haven't
even checked reviews in like the year or longer.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Dude, you're the review guy.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Man, I haven't checked review I hope if anybody's less
have left us a really good review, I apologize. I'll
go find those maybe this week.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Yeah, we did we.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Have had people call though, Retchenkoll she did.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yep, Yeah, of course she did. She did.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
She did.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Most of her stuff is connected to this podcast as
opposed to seventies bus.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah. So we are coming up on the anniversary of
the Oklahoma City bombing Day, and they released a documentary
basically of a lot of the people that kind of
remember where they were and what they were doing. And
she watched that, which if you didn't live here when
it happened, that's probably was pretty interesting. Yeah. Always, I

(03:33):
mean we see it every year there's an anniversary of
something they show, you know, so it's every year we've
seen something.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
So this is year thirty.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, thirty year. Yeah. And Piper and I were and
so and one of the big things of the memorial
is the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon, which like tons of
people run in and Piper and I were going to
do the half marathon, but and Piper never she didn't,

(04:04):
so I guess I should have just gone and done
it by myself. Oh she didn't like go out and prepare. Oh,
so she said maybe next year. But I think it
would have been bad timing on my part because without
thinking if you're a runner. If you're like a hardcore runner,
you probably know this. And I wasn't thinking it, but

(04:27):
my feet were starting to hurt this last couple of weeks,
and I've got planter fleshy itis on my right foot
all of a sudden, and then my achilles on my
left foot, and all of a sudden, and then I'm
getting like this feeling that I'm getting a blister on
the bottom of my foot because there's kind of these

(04:49):
thin spots on my shoes. So instead of thinking, I
just start shoving extra souls and extra socks and things.
My shoes were just completely worn out, and it just
didn't dawn on me that it's been nine months since
I bought my shoes, and when you look at them,
it's really obvious, but it wasn't obvious to me. It's

(05:12):
like it's like there's almost.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
A hole in the bottom, but snuck up on you.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
It's snuck up mine. So anyway, I bought a brand
new pair of shoes yesterday and wore them out on
the trail this morning, and it made my feet feel
way better. But we're only a couple of weeks from
the marathon, so I would have been in big trouble had.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
I No, it's the nineteenth, isn't it on the you.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Know, I'm not sure what is And I think it's
always on a Saturday.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Is that Sunday nineteenth is on a Saturday? I think
this Saturday. It's like Easter weekend.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, I think that it might be the next weekend.
I bet they moved it because of Easter, because I
think it's in two weeks. And I think, now that
I think about it, I think it's on a Sunday.
It's like probably on the last Sunday of April or something.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Right.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Anyway, And they added it so it's a half marathon
marathon and I believe a five k, and then this
year they added a ten mile run, not a ten k,
but a ten mile run.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
How long is the regular big? The regular well.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Half k is thirteen miles thirteen point something, and then
a marathon's twenty six miles.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
But did the twenty six miles.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
They have the I mean that's the marathon is twenty
six miles.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
That's too far around.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, but there's some people that do it in two hours,
which is crazy.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
That means they're running thirteen miles an hour.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
It's pretty crazy because most people, average, average people run
a half marathon in four hours, and they got these
guys running a marathon in two hours.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Oh, pretty crazy. So Gretchen called.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeap talked about the okay see bombing.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Well, these, she says, she sucker taking.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah, are easy for you to say.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Evil canevils. She's on the fence about Survivor.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
She wants to catch up on She's I think she's
decided she is going to give Survivor another try, but
she's so far behind on that and other TV shows.
She's not sure she's gonna be able to squeeze it in.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yeah, she must watch a lot of TV. And I
didn't realize, Kritchen, that you were a big fan of Ghost.
I love Ghost. I think it's hilarious. Curtis not so much.
He's not into but that's okay.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Is it thirty minutes or an hour?

Speaker 3 (07:31):
It's yes.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
See. I don't think I watched a I haven't watched
a sitcom. I can't even tell you when it's cute.
Maybe Mash since Mash, Yeah it's cute.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
She also mentioned the old dire Wolf Doddle Bird.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah, and that's the reason we brought that up. Was Yeah.
My thought was, yeah, what could go wrong? We didn't
just have five movies about dinosaurs that are trying to
kill kill people and then here we are, actually somebody's
really bringing back dead animals.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Well hang on, I mean it's one thing to do
animals speak. Will they be able to bring back us?

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Hell? Are you? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yeah, this is gene Yeah, I mean so it's like we'll.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Now here's the question. They don't want to bring back us.
Somebody's gonna want to bring back a Neanderthal or one
of those early Neanderthal why just to just why climb
Everest because that's there.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
But no, I mean it's like if they can, So,
if every produces all these dire wolves and wooly mammos
and Tasmanian tigers and stuff, are they legitimately going to
be able to replace a human in a not just
any human, but a specific human. Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Oh no, Now like your cousin Vinny.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
Or like yeah, well this's new. Like if they redo,
Curtis will have your memories and your.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
No, because to recreate an actual single person, you would
need that single person's DNA. Now, if they had that, Now,
if they had that person's DNA like, let's say your
uncle died twenty years ago and somebody saved I don't
know what you have to save, either blood from a

(09:21):
bloody nose or a fingernail. If they can get his DNA,
and then I mean, yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
So if they bring him back, will he remember everything that?

Speaker 1 (09:33):
No, No, he would not have any memory. He would
just have He would just look like a twin when
he yeah, when he grew up, he would look like
a twin.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Oh, heck of that.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
But there would be no, no, no, not bringing now
that would be that could be the next thing is
how to preserve your inner thoughts in AI somehow, and
then with this gene stuff, you bring.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
A human back with upload them and then you upload
the thoughts from and then yeah, now, and I'm gonna say,
we do that before we make it to Mars.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
Well, absolutely, who gives a crap about Mars.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Well, I'm just saying, I don't know that we're ever
gonna I really don't know that we're gonna make it
to Mars.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, there's a TV show called Upload. It's exactly that.
Oh really, yeah, where they upload your consciousness. But but
you've died. It's like before you die, you can upload
your consciousness to this supercomputer and then you are actually
living in another dimension quantum area or whatever. But they

(10:40):
figure out how to interact anyway. So yeah, it's already stuff.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
There's got to be when you think about AI, and
it's scary. And that's another thing Gretchen talked about how
scary AI is. If you were to sit there and
talk into an AI program and tell it everything you're thinking,
day after day after day after day, it would eventually
think like you. It wouldn't be you, but it would

(11:05):
be enough of your information and your memories that somewhere
down the line, when they figure out how to download
AI into somebody's mind, that person wouldn't be you, but
they would they I could see a person having all
of your thoughts and memories at some point.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
It's a little.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Odd, Yeah, I mean I can see that happening. And
the reason I don't think I think we'll eventually get
to Mars and go around and come back. Well, I
don't even know. I think there's too many physical things
that happened to the human body to make it all
the way to Mars and back.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
I didn't know why they want to go Well.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
I think the point is, if something happens to the Earth,
we need to be off the Earth and have other
places to go and continue life elsewhere.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
How about we just fix what happens to Earth, take
those resources and that knowledge and that money, and.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Well then then you're back to Mount Everest because it's there.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
I mean, yeah, if you want to go to Mars,
go to Mars.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
But I mean there's really no reason. Yeah, I mean
going to Mars is just because you can. There's really
no because it's going to take a long time to
number one ever get there, number two get there with
a human alive, and then start building something on March

(12:37):
where people could actually stay there.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
Right.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
So anyway, I don't.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Know basically what else, but what it boils down to
is for me to be on board, you got to
have some kind of mechanism or device that gets you
there really quick and like in a couple of days.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, because what is it like a year round trip,
not with not even landing, just to go to Mars
and do the little thing.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Where it flings you back.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Flungs you back, is like I think that's at least
a year, if not longer. Maybe it's long. I bet
it's longer.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
It's probably longer.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
But but but what what I've read is once you
get out there into outer space, even further from Earth
than we are, that like weird things start happen to
your body and radiation.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
And well, I just don't know.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's why I just stay here.
That's yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Yeah, Hey, you want to go explore going into the ocean.
There's more down there that we haven't explored than there
is up there that we've What.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
They're going to do is they're going to figure out
a robot with AI and DNA, and then you put
somebody's thoughts and all that in this robot, dudes in
him to Mars and then then yeah, so okay, uh,
big weekend.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Oh yeah, you had a big weekend.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Big weekend. I didn't think I was going to get
it all in. So I tried selling the tickets to
the boys from Oklahoma. They added too many nights and
I don't literally don't know anybody that could really sell
their tickets. So what we decided to do was go
down to OU. And it was not an OU spring game,
it was a OU practice And we did that Saturday afternoon.

(14:24):
Immediately went and changed and then drove up to still
Water missed the traffic. So what I did was before
we left. The cool thing on the maps app is
when you look at the app and the highways, it
shows you yellow and red areas, and so basically it's

(14:45):
like everybody from Oklahoma City was trying to get down there,
and they were going around the curve at Guthrie and
then eventually getting to the exit to Langston, and that
was causing a backup several mile back up there by Guthrie.
So we drove. We were staying in Edmund, so we

(15:06):
went up seventy four to Guthrie and then straight across
Guthrie and as we were crossing I thirty five without
even stopping, you could look and it was miles of
traffic coming from Oklahoma City in line waiting because only
one car could go at a time, and because it
was an exit and here we just zipped right by.

(15:27):
So we literally made it to steal Water in no
time at all and didn't ever ever hit traffic, which
is what that was My biggest fear is, well, if
we go lay, we're gonna get stuck in two hours
of traffic and then we're gonna miss even more. So
we went and we got there actually in enough time
that had we parked and ran to the stadium, we

(15:49):
could have heard not missed any music, but we hadn't
eaten because we were going, going, going, and Great Divide
was the first band, and I've heard the Great Divide
and so to me, it wasn't that big of a deal.
So we went into Eskimo Joe's. It was packed, and
then we were walking by the garage and I said, Hey, guys,

(16:11):
is it busy in there? And the girls were like, no,
I don't think So we poked our head in and
there was nobody in line at the garage, so we
immediately ordered sat down and ate at the garage, and
Tammy Wilson was in there. She walked by, so talked
to Tammy Wilson for a while and then we walked
over to the stadium and the next band. There was

(16:34):
the intermission between the first band and the second one,
so we got there just in time for the second band,
Wow and sat down and so we had separate tickets.
Tickets were so hard to get on the first night
because everybody only thought there was going to be one night,
and so the only way I could get tickets was
to buy three separate tickets. Either had to buy three

(16:55):
separate ones or not go. And I thought, well, all
buy three separate ones and then we'll just go and
stand around together, or I'll sell them because there won't
be any problem selling these because everybody in the world
wants to go to this concert at that point, not
knowing that they were going to add three more nights,
so I bought the tickets. Eventually sold Pipers, so I

(17:16):
had two tickets that were in separate places. So we
went down to the area where the closest ticket was
because on seat Geek there was two seats for sale
really expensive on the row that my seat was on.
But when we got down there, you couldn't tell which seat.
Geek wouldn't tell you what the two seats were, so
I didn't know which two seats it was. But there

(17:39):
was two seats open two rows back from where I
was supposed to sit, and this couple behind said, hey,
just sit there. Nobody sat there has been sitting there
the whole time. So we plopped down and sat in
this random spot at the end of this row, and
this couple comes up and they wanted in. It was
a couple for Enid sat right next to us. So

(18:01):
we're sitting there talking to them. They're from Enid, and
then I stand up and let some more people go,
and I hear this card is. I look up Bob
Jermans three rows behind me. So I go up and
give Bob Jarman a hug. And then eventually, after about
three bands, the people that were actually supposed to be
sitting in our seats showed up, so we left our seats.

(18:22):
And I remember there was a girl from Enid that
had been trying to sell her tickets and couldn't sell them.
So I got on her page and looked where her
seats were, and so we went to and I knew
she didn't sell them because so we went to her
seats and sat in her seats because they we We
didn't steal them, We used them for her.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, I'm sure she appreciated that.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
So anyway, so half the concert we sat in one spot,
and half the concert we sat in another spot.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
So how was a concert?

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Oh it was good, it was, but no Garth, No
Garth didn't show up.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
That's just a big room got started.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Oh I think that was me that started the rumor.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
Oh, I've heard all kinds oft of the it's all
over TikTok.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Well, Dirks Bentley showed up, and I think maybe that
made people start thinking that maybe he would.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Yeah, because I message you or I accidentally called you
that night, said Dirk's Bentley.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Yeah, yeah, And I was like, he was supposed to
be on survivor so anyway as yeah, on my season
forty nine, the rumor was that Dirks Bentley was on
season four nine. We stre filming in April May, so
either he didn't make it, or he got kicked off,
or they haven't filmed it yet or interesting. So it'll
be interesting to see if he's on season forty nine

(19:37):
or not.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
You know, if he showed me a picture of Dirk's Bentley,
I couldn't tell you who it was.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
I but you're not a country music yeah fish, No,
not at all. Yeah, And I And the weird the
thing is, I wasn't and I'm not a red dirt listener.
I don't even know other than satellite, where you would
even listen to red dirt music. Country music doesn't really
play it. So I didn't know any of the songs

(20:06):
from any of the groups, but they they were all good,
every song, every group and they and they would sing
hits from other artists and then they had guess they
had a whole bunch of guests come on that I
didn't even know who the guests were, but it wasn't Garth,
but The Turnpike, Troubadours, Great Divide, Jason Boleen and then

(20:30):
Cross Canadian Ragweed, which I hadn't I didn't realize everybody
else was really red dirt country ish. A Cross Canadian
Ragweed is rock and roll, really dirt, red dirt rock
and roll. I mean it was loud, electric, fast, different,

(20:52):
different than the other guy everybody else. You know, you
got the country vibe when those guys. When a Cross
Canadian came out, it was not kind of vibe. They
played a couple songs that were kind of countrysh.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
But isn't that who Jeff Trainer always liked to listen to.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
So whenever I hear that name, I always think of
Jeff Trainer for some reason.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah. So Cody Canada is the main writer, singer, and
I think he's been doing stuff on his own with
other bands over the years. But so it was basically
a reunion of those guys, and then they invited Turnpike,
Tributeurs and Great Divide and everybody else to be on
with them. And now they're they're like touring there shows
in Texas.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
And so do we know what facilitated this reunion? I
think it.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
I think it had been like fifteen years since they'd
all been back together, and they started talking about it,
and maybe Cody Canada's wife got the ball rolling, and
I don't know how they ended up being at Tea
Booon Picking Stadium.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
And then so how many of them in their respective
bands have been I mean, how many of them been
like Lawnmore salesman or.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
I think most of them other Cody Canada, I think,
is the only one that I know that was like
and I don't even know if he was still a
full time musician. I know he was still playing some
but I think most of them had gone off to
regular jobs.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
In that It's like a phenomenon. The whole four days like.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
It was, it was crazy and every show, four shows
sold out. That means had they yeah, had they done
a fifth show, it would have sold out, or it
would have they would have sold tickets because all four
nights I think one hundred and eighty thousand tickets. Yeah,
that's what I heard, all sold out. Now, of course
there was they were available on sea geek because some

(22:41):
of the scalpers and bots bought up some of the
tickets and were trying to resell them. But as far
as the stadium, every night people posted pictures and videos,
and every night it was just as full as every
other night. Wow, it wasn't like there was one night
where just a whole bunch, you know it was. It
was literally the tickets that were available every night got

(23:03):
sold out. How much were the tickets a lot? I
bought three tickets for five hundred dollars, Holy crap. So
it just it depended and mine weren't floor So floor
seats were probably going for two fifty to three fifty range,

(23:25):
maybe upfront even more than that, probably when they first
came on sale. Probably the back seats were had to
be like eighty to one hundred dollars or more. But
the problem was then when they opened up the other
three nights, I think the scalpers in the box got
caught because they didn't know either, and so there was

(23:47):
you could get tickets on the where I paid I
think two hundred and fifty dollars for my best seat,
and those seats were going for twenty five dollars on
seat geek. So, but I didn't know at the time.
When I bought my ticket, I thought it was a
one night deal. This is a once in a lifetime concert.

(24:10):
I didn't know they were going to get back together
and go touring. We thought this was a one time,
one time, one deal and it wasn't.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Huh So it just it just blows my mind that
that many people.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, and it was all kind of our age people.
There wasn't really old people, and there wasn't really young people.
It was people from our age. It was kind of
like a big reunion, you know. And I mean the
people that sat behind us said where are you guys
from Nebraska? I said, oh really, you know, I said, well,

(24:48):
who are you here to see? And the guy said
Jason Bowling Bolan, Jason Bolin, who was just a guitar
playing country music singer. And I said, oh wow, really
he said yeah. I said, well where are you staying?
And he said, well, that's an interesting story. So this
couple from Nebraska who had never been to OSU. They

(25:10):
want they had wanted to buy an rv H, so
they flew from Nebraska to Waco, bought an RV in Waco.
Waco drove I guess that's it was between I guess.
You know, they had to buy it before still Water
so they didn't have to backtrack, so they bought it
in Waco. I guess maybe that was the best place

(25:32):
they could got the best deal. They drove it from
Waco to eat to still Water. Knew somebody that let
them park the RV on their land, and so they
were sleeping in an RV they had bought at Waco.
We're going to the concert and then we're going to
get in it and drive back home to Nebraska.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Oh well, that sounds like fun.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
And I mean there was people from that didn't have
anything to do with Stillwater, Oklahoma. There, I mean people
from everywhere.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
We had to be. There's too many people, one hundred
and eighty thousand people. They couldn't have all gone this OSU.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Yeah, no, it was. It was crazy.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
It was my friend Caleb that hangs out down at
the warehouse. Uh huh. He went two nights.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
I know. Tammy Wilson was there. She didn't go to
the concert every night, but she was in Stillwater all
four days, all four nights she went on. She went
to the actual concert Sunday night, but when I saw
her on Saturday night, she was just hanging out with
some of her relatives. So it was like a.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Huge yeah, because there was a lot of stuff outside
of that.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
It was a huge tailgating party, So a lot of
people were there. So one hundred and eighty thousand people
bought tickets, but I bet another one hundred thousand people
just hung out outside and just were just milling around,
eating and drinking.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
Yeah. Yeah, So you saw what Garth said about playing
at boom Picking Stadium.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Well, I guess I didn't see the What was his quote?

Speaker 3 (26:50):
It was like because they've asked him to apparently, according
to Caleb, they have asked him to perform there before.
He said, know, the acoustics system won't work. And I
was like, obviously the acoustics worked just fine, because.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yeah, because that the acoustics have nothing, I mean all
outdoor stadiums or outdoor stadium you just it's a challenge
just set up your speakers.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
I mean, you have a good engineer that knows.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
I say, the sound was great, that's what I heard.
I mean it sounded like they were right there and
you could barely see him. I mean they were like
I did. I was surprised at how tiny they looked
in Boone's Pickin's stadium, and it's not it's not like
even at the top tier of football stadiums size wise.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
But so, I don't know if I told you, but
Derek's going to Chickello, Chickeello, Chikella, Chokella, Chokella, coachellaell Coachella. Okay, so,
and I thought he was there last weekend, but no,
I guess it's more than one weekend. He's going this weekend. Well,
I was flipping through uh TikTok or whatever, and there

(28:03):
was a video It's been around a lot with Boone Benson,
Benson Boone, Benson Boone, Benson Boone Benson Boone, and he
did Queen's Bohemian Bohemian Rhapsody, which is unheard of. Brian
May was there. He can rise down stage, and there

(28:26):
was a unusual lull in the crowd, like they didn't
realize who he was. And so I immediately text Derek,
thinking he was there. It's like I said, Benson Boone
and Brian May and he's like, are you talking about
Cochello And I'm like yeah, and he goes, he goes, no,
We're going next weekend. I was like, oh, dude, you
miss something. But anyway, that's a whole other big And that's.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Why I wanted to go to this Boys from Oklahoma
because I had never been to I've been to the
whatever the outdoor thing is in by the Zoo, the
Zoo Amphitheater, but I've never been to like an outdoor
arena multi band concert. So I thought, well, this would
be a cool, cool one to go to, A great

(29:10):
time a year to go too. Yeah, and Coachella, I
guess Bernie Sanders showed up and was trying to get
people to go to vote against Republicans, and so he
was kind of talking about how Republicans are just out
for the rich and this and that. Well, I guess
the cheapest ticket to get into Coachella is six hundred

(29:31):
dollars to just sit in the very back. And they said, like,
either I can't remember, forty to sixty percent of everybody
that bought tickets put them on payment plans. And then
they were interviewing people that were eating there. One guy
got I think two things of tacos and two lemonades
and it was like one hundred and five dollars.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah, So people were complaining about the price. But you
got Bernie Sanders up there complaining about the rich people.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
And he wasn't up on stage, was he? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Literally literally they put him up on stage and he
was given an anti Republican bashing to Coachella. Oh, and
I'm like, you gotta be kid. If I was there,
I'd probably got my ass whip because I'd have been
sit down, Bernie, since your ass down.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
We're here for music, not your ass. Yeah. Yeah, and
there was a lot of great music this last weekend,
but there's some more's coming up. Lady Gaga.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
Yeah, I would love to see Lady Gaga, especially at
something like that where you don't I mean, I love
Lady Gaga, sure, I just I don't know that i'd
want to that. I wanted to pay and go to,
you know, a two hour concert of hers, which would
be good, but it would be cool just to see
her do a couple of songs at something like that.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
Yeah, you know, Stevie's coming, I know again, okay See.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
You know, I bought tickets to her last trip to
okay See and it got covided out by a member
of the band. Yeah, so I don't know if I'm
gonna try that.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
Again, just like why we do seems so we'll see.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Hey baby, Okay, we better move on. Uh did you
did you catch the Breakfast Club reunion?

Speaker 3 (31:07):
Oh? I saw, I saw there was a picture of them. Yeah,
so they didn't sit in the same order as the
old time.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
H forty years since the movie and basically since the release. Yeah,
all five, all five of them have not been together
for an interview since the release. Forty years. I think
I knew that, even Emilio just would not show up.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
Yeah. Oh yeah, and they did that not a documentary.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Well, they did their documentary on brats. That's on sant
Almo's Fire.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
Yeah, he wouldn't do that either, No, he did. Oh,
if somebody didn't do it, it.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
Was jud Nelson. Ah, so jud wouldn't do brats, but
jud did this.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
Oh, but they both did this.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
They both did this, Amelia. Emilio wouldn't do these, but
he did Brat. I think because he did brats, he
probably felt guilty that he hadn't been doing any of
the breakfast club stuff, so he showed up. So basically
they were all five on stage, and it is The
people that interviewed him was a thing called pop Verse.

(32:21):
So if you go to the pop verse dot com
website or just go to YouTube or find their YouTube channel,
it's about an hour long Q and A with them,
and it's really cool. It's just it's weird. Jud Nelson
was like just half of what he used to be.
He just seemed like this really old, tiny, shriveled up guy.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
It was weird. I didn't look And then.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
The nerdy guy I can't remember his name, Anthony Michael Hall,
is freaking huge, huge, and he like sucks all of
the air out of a room. He just he's, you know,
he's the guy that wants all the attention and not
in a bad way, but he's outspoken and funny. And

(33:11):
and then Ali Sheety literally said ten words the whole time, Oh,
Emelio is Amelio from forty years ago. He has not
changed at all. Looked the same, sounded the same.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
Yeah, he looks good. Who Amelio?

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Yeah Amelio looked exactly the same, hair, everything the same.
And then what's her name, the redhead.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
Yeah, she looks like she said, some work done.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Yeah, she she is like her hair, she was trying
to be back in the day. But her face, she's
she had kind of aged. But jud Nelson has aged
way more than any of them.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
He was a little older than them, but not that
much older. But you're right, Anthony Michael Hall. He was
just in a I know you don't watch Reacher the.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Yeah, and he talked about that being in Reacher.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
Yeah. Yeah, he's a he's kind of a he blew lout.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
He's kind of bulked. Yeah, he's he's huge. Yeah, and
like I say, real, real outgoing and uh an outgoing personality.
Whereas Ali sheety, she just she just kind of sunk
in and she barely would hold the microphone up to
her mouth and still looks good though, Yeah, she she
looked good. So it was but it's it was cool.

(34:33):
It was it was cool hearing them talk about John
Hughes and they had people from the audience ask questions.
So anyway, pop verse go check it out about an
hour long interview.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
Are they gonna do anything or are they just doing it?

Speaker 1 (34:47):
No? I think they just uh, jud Nilson at one
point said I needed closure. I needed to know what
happened the next the next Monday, and he said, we
needed that what happened? Well, John Hughes just wasn't going
to do it and he's and now that John Hughes

(35:08):
is dead, he was like, we'll never get it.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
So he like like he.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
He thought there needed to be a second movie of
what happened when they all went back to school on Monday.
They were they friends? Did they talk to each other
or or what happened five years? You know, what happened
ten years down the line, and did they talk about
what happened that next Monday? He needed he Jed Nelson

(35:33):
felt like he needed and a lot of people needed
that movie.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
Yeah, but I could kind of see that.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
But John Hughes didn't. Yeah, he didn't need that movie.
He knew he wanted to leave it up to everybody else. Sure,
what do you think happened on Monday? So I thought
that was it? So basically, I guess my point was, No,
they're not gonna they're not getting together to do any
type of movie or anything. It was just the anniversary.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
Breakfast Club Grandparents.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
Yeah, No, I'm hearing rumor something like that might be
a foot with goonies. But really, you're so far removed
is it even is it even worth it?

Speaker 3 (36:12):
I mean yes, I sometimes just leave alone.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
I was gonna say, just create a new movie. I mean,
don't even Yeah, So anyway, Oh, happy tax day.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
Oh yeah it is Tuesday nine.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
As soon as I leave here, I gotta go finish
up taxes. But I got a few tax facts for you.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
I haven't even started. Oh don't tom, I don't care.
If I'm late today, you can just give me a penalty.
I don't care.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
I finished my twenty twenty one taxes. What's today Tuesday?
I finished them on Sunday. I think this whole irs government.
I remember when I used to do my taxes, like
when you know, in my twenties, and I thought, you
know everything, everything had to be documented, Everything had to

(37:05):
be down to the penny man. You had to have
it in by midnight. There was people that would they
remember back in the day, they used to before turbo
tax and online, they used to have bins outside post
offices and they would have a line of people and
cars would drive by and drop off their tax returns
to get them in by midnight. Get them postmark as

(37:26):
I've gotten older and read up on this. Yeah, they
want you to have them by April fifteenth, but if
you don't owe, you don't really have to have it
done by the fifteenth. I mean, you can file an
extension or you can just file it late, and you
have up to three years to file to get a return.

(37:49):
So I literally just I mailed my twenty twenty one
taxes yesterday and I'm getting, you know, for a return.
Now I owed State. So I got penalized a couple
hundred dollars because it's been three years. But I didn't
know enough to state to make that penalty that high.
But yeah, So it's just weird how at one point

(38:11):
I was so afraid of the old IRS is going
to come get me, And now I'm like, you know what,
it ain't. It's not that big a deal.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
I mean, sixteenth, they're going to be knocking at your door.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Yeah, yeah, no, whatever, you know, come knock on my
door whatever. Anyway.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
Yeah, So that's that's one of my projects tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
There you go. Well, I'm going to get mine done.
I want to go ahead and get mine done tonight
because for the first time in three years, I will
not have any taxes to do. But taxes started during
the Civil War.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
I did not know. That is how they paid for this.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
Yeah, the government needed more money for the military during
the Civil War, so to solve that problem, Congress created
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. In eighteen sixty two, the
Commissioner in his department enacted an income tax to pay
for Civil War expenses. Before this, taxes and tariffs, the

(39:08):
Teyward tariffs earned on goods such as tobacco and sugar
were enough to keep things running. Uh huh, Yeah, things
ran perfectly without income tax. Ten years after the first
after it was first started, income tax was repealed.

Speaker 3 (39:25):
I hear, I say, the Civil War has been over
for well time.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
They after ten years they repealed it. It went through
some back and forth. Then in nineteen thirteen it was
declared legal again.

Speaker 3 (39:38):
That year, the federal.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
Income tax was re enacted and ratification of the sixteenth Amendment.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
That had been because the World War One, wouldn't it.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
I think they just wanted our money. So yeah, so
there you go.

Speaker 3 (39:54):
What year was it reread?

Speaker 5 (39:56):
It?

Speaker 3 (39:56):
Redone?

Speaker 1 (39:56):
Nineteen thirteen? Okay, I don't know if that'd been I
think that's pretty early. The tax code is over seventy
thousand pages long.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
Well, were one started in nineteen fourteen?

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Oh maybe, well nineteen fourteen, so they didn't know, Oh yeah,
they did. Well, they didn't know how much money they
were going to need. I think they just started to
because they wanted money out of people.

Speaker 3 (40:26):
Yeah, either way, I kind of like.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
The whole tariff thing. Owner Trump got that idea anyway.
So yeah, So if you wonder why taxes are so complicated,
the tax code is seventy thousand pages long. Title twenty
six of the US Code, referred to as the Internal
Revenue Code, contains nearly all of our federal tax laws.

(40:50):
It's available to read free online by anyone who wishes
to see it, and you can also buy printed volumes.
There are also more than eight hundred types of tax
forms and schedules alone. Oh my gosh, eight hundred tax forms. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
So I don't what did an elon go after diars?
I guess it doesn't lose money, it just makes money.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
Well, no, I think they are. I think they are
kind of gonna think about I mean, they're thinking about
starting the External Revenue Service, not the Internal Revenue Service
where they collect money off of tariffs and stuff. I mean,
Trump like that, Trump is thinking about it.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
It'll never happen. Oh, come on, because Congress has to
ratify it and all that. If he could just do
it with the stroke of it, dude, I'm just saying,
they can't get squad. They can't get squad done up there.
Individual income taxes are a major source of revenue for
the federal government, duh. And we see where they've been
spending all of it with this whole dog I just did. Yeah.

(42:01):
In the fiscal year twenty twenty four, federal income tax
contributed around two point four trillion dollars, which is about
forty nine percent of the total revenue.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
Was The other fifty one percent come from I wonder.

Speaker 5 (42:19):
Terraffs, tariffs, federal government clicks, revenue on services like admission
to national parks, customs, duties on foreign imports and exports.

Speaker 1 (42:31):
The majority of this revenue is to use to pay
for the government activities, employee salaries, infrastructure, blah blah blah.
So basically, yeah, that outside stuff. In twenty twenty four,
the federal government spent okay, so we took in four
point nine two trillion dollars with everything in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
Four point ninety two almost five. That's say, I.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
Say five to five trillion dollars, but the federal government
spent six point seven trillion in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
Hang on, where'd that money come from?

Speaker 1 (43:09):
Where? What money come from?

Speaker 3 (43:10):
At one point seven trillion dollars because they only made
five they spent six point seven.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
Well, it didn't come from anywhere. That's what's called the
deficit exactly. So just budget alone, not interest, which I
think interest is up to, Like we're nearing like a
trillion dollars in.

Speaker 3 (43:32):
Just interest, So we were, So there was a.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Deficit of one point eight trillion dollars just for twenty
twenty four. So it put US one point e three
trillion dollars more in debt in twenty twenty four. And
people are complaining about DOGE trying to cut and save
money and reduce costs, but we're adding almost two trillion

(43:57):
a year to our debt, which we may never ever
ever pay off. And certain people are acting like it's
no big deal to try to cut it and save
unless somebody does some weird crap like Trump, it's never
gonna get the problem's never going to get solved.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
Something catastrophic would have to happen.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
Well, Trump is the catastrophe, and it at some points
feels like a catastrophe. But without that, I don't think
it would. Nothing's ever going to change. So basically, the
twenty twenty four tax rate, if you made over eleven thousand,
six hundred dollars, you are taxed at twelve percent. That

(44:41):
was the lowest. Well, no, basically from zero to eleven
six is ten percent, and then above that is twelve percent,
and then the richest people who make over six hundred
and nine thousand, three hundred and fifty dollars are taxed

(45:01):
at thirty seven percent. But it's you know, it's a teered.
So basically, if you made six hundred nine thousand, three
hundred and fifty dollars year, tax would would have been
one hundred and eighty three thousand, six hundred.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
And forty seven thousand. Yeah, so that that sucks.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
And they say tax. They everybody screaming tax the ricks tack.
So we're kind of looking at it. When when when
Biden comes out and I'm just going to throw it
out there, Biden and the Democrats come out and say
the rich don't pay their fair share, and billionaires pay
less than a waitress. It's not true. Number one, when

(45:52):
you look at how much a billionaire pays in income tax,
it's like a lot. It's millions and millions of dollar.
But what they're doing is adding in all of their investments.
So if you don't cash in your investments, you don't
pay any tax on them. So what the Democrats are

(46:14):
saying is, oh, he's a trillionaire, when actually eighty percent
of the guy's trillion dollars are in investments. They're saying, well,
he's not getting taxed on those investments, so he's not
paying his fair share.

Speaker 3 (46:28):
Well, he's not capitalizing on them.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
You're not capitalizing on them. So what the Democrats are
wanting to do is force people.

Speaker 6 (46:36):
To have to cash at before they die, because if
you don't cash it out before you die, it goes
to your kids and then it's not taxed because it's inheritance.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
So the government is trying to get their greedy fingers
in everything, every little inny bity penny that you own.
They want to suck the blood right out of it.
So that's what the Democrats in Biden meant by the
rich don't pay their fair share. Well they do, they

(47:09):
just don't pay taxes on investments that they haven't capitalized.

Speaker 3 (47:14):
Yeah, I remember. It's a famous it's a famous line
that shows Chump said. He says he is just change
the law, change the tax laws, and we will.

Speaker 1 (47:23):
But they can't because the Congress has always split forty
nine fifty and then there's always that one dude that
holds out, and so nothing ever gets changed or past
or fixed or anyway. There's few tax facts for you.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
Tax facts, tax facts.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
We got some meteors coming.

Speaker 3 (47:45):
Uh, there's always a Medior.

Speaker 1 (47:46):
The Lerid, first meteor shower since January, one of the
oldest known, is set to begin Thursday, April seventeenth, though
the peak in the early hours of Tuesday, April twenty second.
During the peak, about eighteen shooting stars some very bright
fireballs are expected each hour. And that's always cool because

(48:11):
it's still a little bit dark out on the trail.
So when I go out at six, it's just dark
enough that these really bright green ones I can see you.
You can even be in city limits and see these
bright green ones. So every now and then I catch one.

Speaker 3 (48:29):
Didn't you see a green one like move a different
direction or something at one time?

Speaker 1 (48:35):
I saw a green one last year.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
Did something funny.

Speaker 1 (48:39):
No, last year, it was a white thing. I was
getting ready to start my walk and I was standing
there in this like light glowing thing was moving and
it was like but it was like moving fast. It
was like a fog cloud, but it was like moving fast.
And then like a few days later, I happened to

(49:01):
catch a saw a flock of white birds and realized, oh, crap,
it was a because you don't really think of a
flock of birds flying dark in the morning. And I realized, oh,
it was a it was a flock of birds.

Speaker 3 (49:13):
Well you didn't tell me you discovered.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
Well I didn't tell you. I posted it on Facebook. Yeah,
Like like a week later, I saw I saw a
flock of birds and I thought, oh crap, that's what
that was. It was a flock of birds. It just
it was dark, and it just didn't dawn on me
that there'd be a flock of birds flying.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
Well, there's just enough light to illuminate the white birds.

Speaker 1 (49:35):
Yeah, you could just like I say, it looked like
a fog, a little fog cloud, but it it stayed
together and it was moving fast, so I would be
freaky though it was, I couldn't explain. I was like,
what could that have been?

Speaker 3 (49:48):
The unexperience?

Speaker 1 (49:49):
So see, there's almost always some explanation. We just don't
know it at the time.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
Well, there's always an explanation, it just not might be
of this earth or this quantum level or who knows.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
Well, back to Gretchen's phone call, we miss something. No,
well she talked about if if it didn't happen in
the seventies, Oh, should she send in her thing? Well,
we could have an episode on this show. Sure, if
you guys have seen anytime, If you guys have seen
anything weird, like a meteor or a ghost or a

(50:20):
spaceship or Bigfoot or anything weird, let us know. Send
in your story five A zero five, four, one three
eight five or buzz at bussidmedia dot com. We can
do a whole episode on weird sightings.

Speaker 3 (50:34):
Yeah, did you see it's all over? The first one
I saw, I thought, oh, that's fake, it's AI. But
there was a whole bunch of them. Were was it
during the pink moon? And there was like apparently there
was this I don't know if it's SpaceX, but somebody's
somebody's rocket was like detaching or whatever. And I made

(50:55):
a big bunch of people in Texas saw it like recent, yeah,
like last two or three days.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
Interesting.

Speaker 3 (51:03):
Yeah, I probably saw half a dozen different videos, so thinking, okay,
that's not a I because it was all different, different,
But it was weird because it was it was a
it was at night, and a lot of them were
people were looking at the pink moon. I guess the
pink moon was a couple of days ago.

Speaker 1 (51:20):
The full moon. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
Yeah, and it wasn't the pink moon.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
Well they call it the pink moon, but it wasn't
pink okay.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
And they were looking up there and this thing happened
to me just right where the moon was in their
field of view. So everyone was freaking out. And apparently
it was just a somebody shooting a rocket. Interesting because
they they're shooting rockets all the time.

Speaker 1 (51:41):
I was gonna say, did you see the one yesterday? Uh,
Bezos's rocket the women in space are you laughing about,
Katy Perry?

Speaker 3 (51:55):
I laughing about the fact that bezos Is rockets look
unusually similar flaccid flaccid.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
They are a little Chubby.

Speaker 3 (52:11):
It's like bezos, What the heck? We Yeah, yeah, we
talked about just tonight at dinner, Like, why is that
giving Katy Perry a hard time because she went.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
I don't yeah, I don't get it. They're even Wendy's
somebody I can't remember. Some some big account posted Katy
Perry returned from space and Wendy's the actual Wendy's restaurant
Twitter account said can we send her back? And I'm like,
I don't know. I don't know what the deal is
with Katy Perry. But basically what five women, Gail King,

(52:43):
there's a whole woman all women and crew, but I
think it was like five. Yeah, it's several, and it
wasn't really a crew. It was just celebrities.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
They they went up for eleven minutes and they went
high enough that there was no gravity.

Speaker 3 (52:56):
Yeah, they were floating around and then.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
Basically right back down with parachute. Yeah, landed in the dirt.

Speaker 3 (53:04):
Yeah, I thought that. Have they always landed in the dirt?

Speaker 1 (53:07):
I guess, Well, those the ones from space, I guess
have to come in to get through the atmosphere. They
have to come in so fast. I don't know why
they land in the ocean as opposed to on land.
I don't know, but yeah, so this one just landed.
Yeah so his almost always landing like the desert there

(53:30):
is it.

Speaker 3 (53:31):
I've never really watched that land. Is it like a
cathud or.

Speaker 1 (53:34):
Is it it's a It causes a big old dust cloud.
It's got to be a decent thud.

Speaker 3 (53:39):
Do they know to hang on or something.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
I'm thinking the seats must have sometimes spring.

Speaker 3 (53:45):
Or it's like, okay, ladies, we're coming back down strapping, And.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
That's what I'm thinking. Yeah, it's got to be because it
looks like it. It's not a super super soft landing.

Speaker 3 (53:55):
You could have like neck Injurias or in your lifeful
way when you do this.

Speaker 1 (54:01):
And I don't think they even I don't think they
wore helmets the entire time. I don't know it just
with all the stuff I've been watching lately, I mean,
I would do it, but you know, it's almost like
why you know, I mean, you're risking the thing could
blow up on takeoff, or the parachute could not work

(54:23):
when you're coming back down. I mean, there's all kinds
of things that could go wrong. But I don't know,
it would be kind of cool to be up there
in the atmosphere for I don't know how long they
were like without gravity, maybe three or four minutes.

Speaker 3 (54:38):
Yeah, I'd rather do that than be up there at
space station for nine months with no gravity like those
last guys.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
Yeah. Yeah, that'd be a little harsh. Yeah, anyway, got
anything else over there? No, how are we doing on time?

Speaker 3 (54:55):
It's about time to go back?

Speaker 1 (54:56):
Time to go? Okay, guys, hit us up at five
eight zho five four one three eight o five.

Speaker 3 (55:01):

Speaker 1 (55:02):
Paid your taxes buzz bushidmedia dot com. Yeah, by midnight tonight,
I will be tax free.

Speaker 3 (55:10):
Well you got an hour, two hours and eighteen minutes.

Speaker 1 (55:13):

of here.
