You got to dig through. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
So we uh, like we collect old ones and we

Speaker 1 (02:55):
We find, but yeah, that omega looks pretty new.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
This omega is pretty new. Like it's it's what we
just picked it up literally like yesterday.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Nice like yeah, and what is that what do you

a cardia. Oh, it's nice. A cardioc that's an older one.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
That's an older Yeah, it's a quartz movement, but it's
probably at least twenty years old or so.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Cool.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
And it's the Yeah, it's got the the deployment clasp
on it and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
This one's the leather.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Yeah, we find them, like we went to a flea
market in Ocean Grove, New Jersey. The Ocean Grove is
one of the oldest towns in New Jersey and it
was the the flea market there where the whole town
comes in and just dumps everything on tables. So we
go into there's these two old guys sitting there, and
then my sister goes, hey, there's a lot of these
watches that are over here working and they're five bucks each.
(03:44):
So we just started winding watches and Miriam picks this
one up. She goes, this one's got something going on.
So it was just too nice to be in this bag.
So I offered him sixty bucks for the whole table,
and he goes, okay, well the watch she found, she
googles it. It's worth twelve hundred dollars, you know, like
this And because now we don't buy them to flip them.
(04:07):
We literally know you're like me, I can't. Yeah, we
keep them and we love dedication watches. We like the
watches that you know. We have one that says, you know,
love Ruth. That one a twelve twenty five fifty, like
you know, on Christmas morning, this guy got this watch
and you can see that it's been worn but not abused.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I'll take two dollars for it, and no, we I
think we.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Paid like fifty bucks for it because it's not like
It was a high, high end old watch. But I
like getting the watches and you know, reviving them. I
take them apart, clean them up a little bit. I
don't go into the movement. I'm not that good at
it yet. I'm working on that actually. But Miriam found
another one at a flea market. It was a Tiffany
fourteen carrot gone the tank body and then we flip
(04:58):
it over and you're gonna love. I remember the guy's name,
Ralph J. Lama Kwand that's the guy's name, Kenny. It
was his twenty five years at City Bank, no Chemical Bank,
nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Yeah, So that means this guy started in what sixty
seven and he's got a car, you know, a Tiffany
gold watch, and we took it and cleaned it up,
put a band on it, and it's beautiful. But those
watches are they meant something to somebody? Yeah, you know
like that. And then we went to a pawn shop
down in Naples and found the nineteen thirties Rolex Rose
(05:32):
gold and the guy who owned the pawn shop, super
nice guy. He goes, I know they're probably worth more,
he goes, but I don't want to put the money
in to fix them. They weren't really working. I got
them working Tiffany eighteen Carrot Gold Ladies and wrote rose
Gold and we got a great price on them. So
they're just like valuable. But they're so collectible and they
(05:53):
are conversation pieces. They will see the old watches and
they go, oh what.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Is that right? You know, hobby to be able to
bit Yeah, working.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I take them. I polished the bodies.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
On them, some of the Benjamin Franklin glasses with the
multiple like.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yes, with the with the little light around. Get that yet,
but I'm gonna get that.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
I have the thing that flips down with the magnifier,
and it's funny because you forget you're wearing it.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
You walk into stuff because I'm tall.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
You walk through the doorway with that thing. You're hitting
the you know, I knocked it off my head a
few times.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
That's cool, Donner. Donner looks at me like I'm crazy
and like he's getting bigger. Oh here we go. Left
the thing up. But all is great. Yeah, I'm in
New Jersey.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
We we took the airstream out the Yellowstone awesome.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Oh that was quite We went.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
We went around Yellowstone and came through. Okay, yeah, so
we saw most of it.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I mean you could. It takes a week to do Yellowstone,
Oh yeah, at least at least.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
But we got to see the Grand Prismatic, We got
to see you know, Old Faithful, We got to see
you know, the lake, and and we went through and saw.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
All the bison.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
And we had to wait for this bison to take
a half a mile walk down the road because you can't.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Everybody parks her car and lets him go. Oh yeah,
so it's going to be the idiot.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, And did you know that bison in Buffalo there
are two different animals.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Did you know that? Yes?
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Yeah, well I didn't. I'm a Jersey boy. I didn't
know that. So I said to Miriam, I go, bo,
bison in Buffalo. These the same thing.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
She goes, no, they're not tell them the story, babe by.
She looks it up and then gives me a lesson
in animals. While we're in the car, the same but
not the same, not the same thing. And then we're
in the.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
We're in this pawn shop yesterday and there is a
buffalo hanging out on the wall and she goes, and
what's that, Frank and I go, that would be a buffalo.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
She goes, very good. It's uh. I think it's hilarious
watching the videos of these idiots that they can get
right up on him. Ye took a basin and take
a picture. Oh yeah, no, and just getting picked up
and just yeah. My sister, my sister and my brother
(08:11):
in law.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
They took a ride through there probably some fifteen years ago.
And Arlow was a big motorcycle rider. He rode all
the time, and he he always says, he goes, there's
nothing worse than an idiot on a motorcycle. Like a motorcyclist.
They caused a lot of problems for themselves, that's the
way he would put it. You know, he wasn't mean
about it. He just said it because he was a safe,
(08:32):
smart rider.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
And he's guy sitting on a Harley with his girlfriend
and the bison's walking down the street and he just
stops and stares at the biker and then just takes
his head and knocks the two of them off the bike.
They didn't even move, He just knocked the whole bike
over with his head. He just turned his head and
threw them off the motorcycle. It was hysterical because he
(08:55):
goes to my motorcycle guy.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
He did not provoke it, you.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Know, he just I guess the way the bison perceived
it was this is an animal. Yeah, show's dominance and
knocks them, two of them over.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
It was funny, I'll bet yeah. It had to be there.
Yeah two six, fifteen eighty quick break will be right back,

Ken Love Joyce Kevin right back with more. Charlotte County
Speaks News Radio fifteen eighty WCCF. Don't doubt me.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Ah.
Speaker 7 (09:32):
Yeah, we got another massive property blow up in China
the real estate market, and we're gonna explain to you
why this actually matters. We got another property developer that said, hey,
you know what, we want a one to two year
delay on paying back some of the money that we own.
(09:52):
Now we talked about the evergrand blow up from five
years ago. You want to call this a motion train wreck?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (10:01):
I guess why this matters. Well, China, we'd like them
to be more of a consumption economy. They'd like that
as well. However, guess what, people can't afford it. They
don't have really any sort of social safety nets there,
and people said, Hey, we're going to listen to the
government and we're going to put all of our money
into property.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Not a wise idea, I know what another what not
a wise idea is?
Speaker 7 (10:25):
Okay, Centrally planned economies they fail every time. Watch Dog

But we are bringing the airstream down in January and
then it'll make it. It'll stay here for the winter.
I didn't want to winterize it because once you put
that anti freeze in it, it takes like, you know, forever,
forever to get out.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
You know.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
See, you know you're afraid to brush your teeth, even
though it's not poisonous, But how do you really know

This is a this is an r V, and he freeze.
It's different. It's different, yea, where you can drink it.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I don't know that. We do not recommend that anybody
should not do not drink any freeze. Do not listen
to ken. I'm just saying.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
I just asked, Oh my god, so, uh, everything is
going great?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Do you do? Do you do resolutions? Resolute?
Speaker 7 (16:17):
Now?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I resolved one year. I have New Year's Ever done
New Year's resolutions? No? I have? Have you done them?
Have you ever stuck to him? She's pretty good at
sticking to that stuff. Yeah, thanks, So I can't remember exactly.
It's only because I did the party.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I resolved back in nineteen ninety two on New Year's
to never make another New Year's resolution, and I have
stuck to it.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
That's what's I Yeah. I mean I just everybody wants
to make next year, the next year better than the last.
I mean that goes without question. But as far as resolutions,
on the same way.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
I kind of say making New Year's solution, figure out
what's going to keep you from doing what you want
to resolve, so, you know.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
If you have a too much thinking?
Speaker 4 (17:07):
No, well, I you know, I remember years ago when
I used to smoke. I said, all right, I'll quit
smoking on New Year's okay, And I was drinking back then.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I don't drink anymore. I don't smoke anymore.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
So what happens is you're you're quit smoking on New
Year's but you're drinking, so they go together, you know,
like that.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
So that was tough.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Okay, that lasted a week, you know, that kind of thing,
and then I didn't know how to do it. If
you don't know how to do it, you can't just quit, okay.
If you don't know how to stop drinking, you can't
just quit. If you don't know how to lose weight,
you can't just lose weight. You have everything has to
have a solution.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
You know.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
New Year's The gyms loved New Year's Okay, New Year's Day,
they sign more contracts.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
As a gym member, as a gym members exactly. You
don't want to be show up.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Black socks and shorts and they're at it, you know,
and then they two weeks later, you're back to the
sauna and nobody's.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
There swinging from the lat machine. That's not how you
use it exactly.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Yeah, people get more injured in the first two weeks
of January. Shoulders, elbows. You know I would working out, wouldn't.
Oh I started running now my knees killing me?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
They stop? You know that? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (18:24):
They over overdo it, Yeah, overcorrect.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Particularly the weight. Right. Don't don't think that it's going
to be automatic, and don't dive headfirst into it doing
something that you know draft you're capable of doing one
day and then the rest of the week, and then
you just quit. Well, I lost a lot of weight,
I found you didn't. You want a lot of money
for losing.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
I want a lot of money for losing weight. Yes,
But my point is I know how to do it.
I haven't set my mind to do it again. Okay,
I gained a few pounds back, but that's that.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
That's life. But well, with the with the level that
was almost kind of expected because at the level that
you were at to win that contest, I mean, your
hell bent. That's tough maintaining that level it was after
the contest, I totally get that.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
So now I find pictures between winning that and then
where I started to lose control of the wagon again,
and I go, okay, I'm comfortable there. Like, so my
goal now, which is what I'm doing and I'm on
my way back down is to There's a picture of
the two of us I love, and it's like, Okay,
I'm perfect size there, Like I still fit in my tucks.
(19:28):
I look good in a suit. That's the goal. I
don't care about the scale. I want to know I
fit in this shirt, these pants, and that's the way
I want to look.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
And that's the way you do it.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
But you have to also know how to do it.
People go, I'm going to eat less. Yeah you can,
but if you don't fuel your body, your body eats muscle.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
What are you going to eat less of?
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Well, the biggest thing is to take sugar out of
your system. Okay, and sugar just is it's instant fat.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Replace it with honey. No, not so much sugar. What
are you eating raw sugar? Yeah, okay, process sugar thro
the bees. Honey is a sweetener, but it's not. That's
not what I mean. Like I take out sugars, which
(20:16):
also are starches. So you take out that. That's you know.
I think you'll find you can do nothing to your
diet except take out bread and your you will lose weight.
Yeah I could get yeah, but that's what you love.
My favorite thing. The weight will start coming off really quick.
Speaker 9 (20:36):
It comes off.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
You don't want to cut out all carbs because you
can't your body. Your mind runs on exactly. You need
some I love the people to go. I'm doing all protein.
Well that's great. See how you have a poop in
about a week. But yeah, I just passed a turkey.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
The bread was the hardest and all the Casely, get
a craving and I'll order the bread of asani and
I'll eat the whole day. Yeah, I can't stop on yep.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
I find myself walking in there sometimes before the show going.
You guys get any heels later?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Can we just have some half whatever? It's just a
little something till my show's done. On one, just one.
That bread is amazing. Well, unlike myself and Frank, there
are people who are going to be doing New Year's
resolutions eighteen percent. Only eighteen percent of American adults made
(21:36):
a resolution for twenty twenty five, so it's way way down,
down sharply from thirty eight percent in twenty twenty four.
Fifty percent of the people who made a resolution admit
they failed. Forty seven percent of them couldn't even make
it six months thirty four percent of those who failed
said they simply lost steam. Yeah, going at it too
(21:59):
hard initially will burn you out pace yourself. One of
the biggest issues lifestyle. Many people seem to find that
if you're trying to make a big change that doesn't
fit with your personal values and long term goals, it's
harder to commit yourself. M Yeah, if you're doing something
that goes without saying, right, I really want to do this.
(22:23):
If you're doing something temporarily to be healthier, like going vegetarian,
don't do that. No, we're trying to walk ten thousand
steps a day. Good luck, you're going to be five
miles away. Yeah, hungry, Yeah, yeah, glad I brought my phone.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
Suddenly everybody hates you at work. Yeah, you're snapping at everybody.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Yeah, I love the people. You're stacking on the place
because all you're eating is broccoli Brussels sprouts. People go, yeah,
I'm fasting many days, three days. Then you walk in here,
they're laying on the floor. You can't not eat for
three days, you know, some can do it depending on
(23:09):
what you're drinking. Well, yeah, there's you know, because Bull comedian, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Bull was telling me about he did a he did
a week and a half fast. I'm like, how the
hell did you do that? Yeah? I mean bull looks great.
He lost he's done, he's lost a lot of weight.
He's doing great. But yeah, I'm just like, I can't
figure out. I couldn't get I can do a day.
(23:31):
I could do a day easy if I'm at home
on the couch, pounding water and sleep.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
If I was yeah, small coma about a week and
a half, A couple of opioids.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah, I can fast for a couple of days. But
past that, I don't know. No, I don't have that.
I really don't have that.
Speaker 9 (23:51):
Yeah, the government wants to euthanize everybody. Why can't they
just put you in like a coma for a month
and help you lose weight and then wake you up.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
That should be the new one. Should be the new one. Yeah, yeah,
that would work.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Sleep, Yeah, sleep, Which is you know what's amazing to
me is the commercials, right they tell you know, like
a what is it the one where they're they're dancing
and you know, and I'll I have diabetes and I'm
taking the shot and I'm great. Every one of those
people are unhealthy. Weights, yes, okay. And then there's people
that go, I'm getting my stomach stapled, and the guy's
(24:21):
like four hundred and fifty pounds.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
I know the guy. Yeah, they're at the birthday party. Yeah,
jumping around. I can do things now, yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
He goes, Yeah, I'm four hundred fifty pounds. He goes,
I'm getting the stump, my stomach stapled. I'm going to
get that gastric bypass surgery. I'm like, okay, well, what's when. Well,
I got to lose forty pounds before he'll do it. Well,
how are you going to do that? Well, he put
me on a fifteen hundred calorie a day diet. I
lost to forty pounds. Okay, So there's no need to
staple your stomach.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Because it works on the diet. You're going to stay
on the diet, okay.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
And so if you just you know, stay on that
diet and stay that way, you don't need the stomach staple.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I can't count the number of stories I've heard of
people who've gotten that the lap band the stomach stapled
and wound up gaining the weight back anyway. Oh yeah, yeah,
there's no doubt.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Only it's worse for them because it's now the stomach
is smaller, stomach can't handle it. And then also you
don't digest sugars anymore because of the small intestines and stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 8 (25:23):
Everybody want Nobody wants to work anymore.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Everybody wants they want something easy.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
It's easy to put it on.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Yeah, you know, because I always say, you didn't put
it on a day, you're not going to take it
off in a day.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
No, you know what I mean. It took took me
a few months to put some pounds on. It's got
to take a few months to get it off. By
the way, did we mention today's National Cookie Day? How
about that? Lots of places have deals. Corner Bakery never
heard of them, neither Crumbler, Duncan, Duncans.

What's a driverless car? No?
Speaker 4 (34:20):
Yeah, okays are driverless cars?
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Way moo out in La. A way moo out in
La took a left turn right into the middle of
a police standoff yesterday. It's all on video. A rep
for way More says the vehicle cleared the scene and
passengers made it safely to their destiny.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
That's good.
Speaker 9 (34:40):
No bullets lying, But did you hear they tried to
basically bring down WAMO and a group of college students
called fifty of them all at once, have those same location,
and they all showed up.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Yeah, well, and so so it's kind it was really
kind of a hack in a way. They didn't hack it,
but they all fifty people called WEAIMO all at the
same place, and I think it was in La too, right,
And so the drive and it was in like an
industrial area, right, All fifty Waymo cars showed up and
they sat there for I guess they they wait there's
(35:13):
a certain waiting period before they'll take off, and they
all sat there before they left. Really it took fifty
offline for you know, that's minutes.
Speaker 9 (35:22):
Well, and it's like I think they wanted to try
to like flood the system, but they all showed up
and they were all there. They just create a little
mini traffic jam. It's not like it didn't work. It worked,
you know.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Yeah, well, yeah, the hack work, right. Well, I just
there's a video out because they've all got to drive.
All those waymos in that area have to drive to
the area, and then they all have to stay there
for a time, so you're kind of jamming up the
system and creating a traffic jam at the same time
for a few minutes.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Well, there's a video of an old guy in the
in the back seat of one of those and he's
panicking because there's nobody driving the car.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
I would be too, And then if you see the
other one.
Speaker 9 (35:56):
Pretty good though, I.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Think Tesla has got Tesla's got their own driverless vehicles,
only they have a safety driver just to just in case.
And this one guy's got a video of him in
the driverless car and the safety driver sound asleep. Oh yeah,
I love it.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
Well, a friend of ours has a Tesla and it
has the you know.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
Autopilot, the self driving, self driving.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
And which has already caused some problem. Well it did it.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
He got in the car, put the directions into the
thing and forgot to hit the autopilot and he rearanded
a car. Because yeah, that's user error, because that was
my fault, not covered, that's my fault, and I admit that.
Speaker 9 (36:37):
Well, they tried, some two guys on the internet tried
to break some record about going the furthest distance using
the self driving and they made it, I think twenty
miles until they hit something rubber in the road and
it you know, it.
Speaker 5 (36:50):
Makes it stops and you have to take the wheel right.
So it didn't make it where they needed to go.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
But what are you gonna do.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
I'd fallen asleep a couple of times, so basically I
was a driverless car.

This omega is pretty new. Like it's it's what we
just picked it up literally like yesterday.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Nice like yeah, and what is that what do you
got on there? That's what she wearing. She is wearing
a cardia. Oh, it's nice. A cardioc that's an older one.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
That's an older Yeah, it's a quartz movement, but it's
probably at least twenty years old or so.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Cool.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
And it's the Yeah, it's got the the deployment clasp
on it and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
This one's the leather.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Yeah, we find them, like we went to a flea
market in Ocean Grove, New Jersey. The Ocean Grove is
one of the oldest towns in New Jersey and it
was the the flea market there where the whole town
comes in and just dumps everything on tables. So we
go into there's these two old guys sitting there, and
then my sister goes, hey, there's a lot of these
watches that are over here working and they're five bucks each.
(03:44):
So we just started winding watches and Miriam picks this
one up. She goes, this one's got something going on.
So it was just too nice to be in this bag.
So I offered him sixty bucks for the whole table,
and he goes, okay, well the watch she found, she
googles it. It's worth twelve hundred dollars, you know, like
this And because now we don't buy them to flip them.
(04:07):
We literally know you're like me, I can't. Yeah, we
keep them and we love dedication watches. We like the
watches that you know. We have one that says, you know,
love Ruth. That one a twelve twenty five fifty, like
you know, on Christmas morning, this guy got this watch
and you can see that it's been worn but not abused.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I'll take two dollars for it, and no, we I
think we.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Paid like fifty bucks for it because it's not like
It was a high, high end old watch. But I
like getting the watches and you know, reviving them. I
take them apart, clean them up a little bit. I
don't go into the movement. I'm not that good at
it yet. I'm working on that actually. But Miriam found
another one at a flea market. It was a Tiffany
fourteen carrot gone the tank body and then we flip
(04:58):
it over and you're gonna love. I remember the guy's name,
Ralph J. Lama Kwand that's the guy's name, Kenny. It
was his twenty five years at City Bank, no Chemical Bank,
nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Yeah, So that means this guy started in what sixty
seven and he's got a car, you know, a Tiffany
gold watch, and we took it and cleaned it up,
put a band on it, and it's beautiful. But those
watches are they meant something to somebody? Yeah, you know
like that. And then we went to a pawn shop
down in Naples and found the nineteen thirties Rolex Rose
(05:32):
gold and the guy who owned the pawn shop, super
nice guy. He goes, I know they're probably worth more,
he goes, but I don't want to put the money
in to fix them. They weren't really working. I got
them working Tiffany eighteen Carrot Gold Ladies and wrote rose
Gold and we got a great price on them. So
they're just like valuable. But they're so collectible and they
(05:53):
are conversation pieces. They will see the old watches and
they go, oh what.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Is that right? You know, hobby to be able to
bit Yeah, working.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I take them. I polished the bodies.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
On them, some of the Benjamin Franklin glasses with the
multiple like.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yes, with the with the little light around. Get that yet,
but I'm gonna get that.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
I have the thing that flips down with the magnifier,
and it's funny because you forget you're wearing it.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
You walk into stuff because I'm tall.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
You walk through the doorway with that thing. You're hitting
the you know, I knocked it off my head a
few times.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
That's cool, Donner. Donner looks at me like I'm crazy
and like he's getting bigger. Oh here we go. Left
the thing up. But all is great. Yeah, I'm in
New Jersey.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
We we took the airstream out the Yellowstone awesome.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Oh that was quite We went.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
We went around Yellowstone and came through. Okay, yeah, so
we saw most of it.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I mean you could. It takes a week to do Yellowstone,
Oh yeah, at least at least.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
But we got to see the Grand Prismatic, We got
to see you know, Old Faithful, We got to see
you know, the lake, and and we went through and saw.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
All the bison.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
And we had to wait for this bison to take
a half a mile walk down the road because you can't.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Everybody parks her car and lets him go. Oh yeah,
so it's going to be the idiot.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, And did you know that bison in Buffalo there
are two different animals.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Did you know that? Yes?
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Yeah, well I didn't. I'm a Jersey boy. I didn't
know that. So I said to Miriam, I go, bo,
bison in Buffalo. These the same thing.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
She goes, no, they're not tell them the story, babe by.
She looks it up and then gives me a lesson
in animals. While we're in the car, the same but
not the same, not the same thing. And then we're
in the.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
We're in this pawn shop yesterday and there is a
buffalo hanging out on the wall and she goes, and
what's that, Frank and I go, that would be a buffalo.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
She goes, very good. It's uh. I think it's hilarious
watching the videos of these idiots that they can get
right up on him. Ye took a basin and take
a picture. Oh yeah, no, and just getting picked up
and just yeah. My sister, my sister and my brother
(08:11):
in law.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
They took a ride through there probably some fifteen years ago.
And Arlow was a big motorcycle rider. He rode all
the time, and he he always says, he goes, there's
nothing worse than an idiot on a motorcycle. Like a motorcyclist.
They caused a lot of problems for themselves, that's the
way he would put it. You know, he wasn't mean
about it. He just said it because he was a safe,
(08:32):
smart rider.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
And he's guy sitting on a Harley with his girlfriend
and the bison's walking down the street and he just
stops and stares at the biker and then just takes
his head and knocks the two of them off the bike.
They didn't even move, He just knocked the whole bike
over with his head. He just turned his head and
threw them off the motorcycle. It was hysterical because he
(08:55):
goes to my motorcycle guy.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
He did not provoke it, you.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Know, he just I guess the way the bison perceived
it was this is an animal. Yeah, show's dominance and
knocks them, two of them over.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
It was funny, I'll bet yeah. It had to be there.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
Ah.
Speaker 7 (09:32):
Yeah, we got another massive property blow up in China
the real estate market, and we're gonna explain to you
why this actually matters. We got another property developer that said, hey,
you know what, we want a one to two year
delay on paying back some of the money that we own.
(09:52):
Now we talked about the evergrand blow up from five
years ago. You want to call this a motion train wreck?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (10:01):
I guess why this matters. Well, China, we'd like them
to be more of a consumption economy. They'd like that
as well. However, guess what, people can't afford it. They
don't have really any sort of social safety nets there,
and people said, Hey, we're going to listen to the
government and we're going to put all of our money
into property.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Not a wise idea, I know what another what not
a wise idea is?

top hotspots are in kind of an area like this
up in the New England areas. Here's the ten. What
they call whoever did this the Christmas hotspots. It doesn't
(13:08):
say who did this. New York Post coming in at

seasonal things to do in total. Really, Newark, So that's

Speaker 4 (14:38):
Yeah, so we're flying in there. Oh you didn't drive
the No, we didn't bring it out. Oh so we
got holiday stuff going on so to get back for
the holidays.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
We have holiday parties.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
For Miriam's family, and then we have you know, stuff
going on at the house, like we're getting countertops, but
in the house this morning. Actually the guy, oh, it'd
be a couple of weeks. Then he calls, he texted
me last night. We can do it at eleven o'clock tomorrow.
I'm like, okay, I called my sister town. Yeah, I
tell my sister lock the bedroom door.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
We'll watch.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah, really highre a guard.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
But it's a they're they're doing the countertops, but we're
going back. We have to fly down and fly back.
But we are bringing the airstream down in January and
then it'll make it. It'll stay here for the winter.
I didn't want to winterize it because once you put
that anti freeze in it, it takes like, you know, forever,
forever to get out.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
You know.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
See, you know you're afraid to brush your teeth, even
though it's not poisonous, But how do you really know
until you actually try it. But it's it's a no,
it's a it'll kill dogs. No, no, it'll kill humans regularly.
This is a this is an r V, and he freeze.
It's different. It's different, yea, where you can drink it.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I don't know that. We do not recommend that anybody
should not do not drink any freeze. Do not listen
to ken. I'm just saying.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
I just asked, Oh my god, so, uh, everything is
going great?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Do you do? Do you do resolutions? Resolute?
Speaker 7 (16:17):
Now?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I resolved one year. I have New Year's Ever done
New Year's resolutions? No? I have? Have you done them?
Have you ever stuck to him? She's pretty good at
sticking to that stuff. Yeah, thanks, So I can't remember exactly.
It's only because I did the party.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I resolved back in nineteen ninety two on New Year's
to never make another New Year's resolution, and I have
stuck to it.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
That's what's I Yeah. I mean I just everybody wants
to make next year, the next year better than the last.
I mean that goes without question. But as far as resolutions,
on the same way.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
I kind of say making New Year's solution, figure out
what's going to keep you from doing what you want
to resolve, so, you know.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
If you have a too much thinking?
Speaker 4 (17:07):
No, well, I you know, I remember years ago when
I used to smoke. I said, all right, I'll quit
smoking on New Year's okay, And I was drinking back then.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I don't drink anymore. I don't smoke anymore.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
So what happens is you're you're quit smoking on New
Year's but you're drinking, so they go together, you know,
like that.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
So that was tough.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Okay, that lasted a week, you know, that kind of thing,
and then I didn't know how to do it. If
you don't know how to do it, you can't just quit, okay.
If you don't know how to stop drinking, you can't
just quit. If you don't know how to lose weight,
you can't just lose weight. You have everything has to
have a solution.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
You know.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
New Year's The gyms loved New Year's Okay, New Year's Day,
they sign more contracts.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
As a gym member, as a gym members exactly. You
don't want to be show up.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Black socks and shorts and they're at it, you know,
and then they two weeks later, you're back to the
sauna and nobody's.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
There swinging from the lat machine. That's not how you
use it exactly.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Yeah, people get more injured in the first two weeks
of January. Shoulders, elbows. You know I would working out, wouldn't.
Oh I started running now my knees killing me?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
They stop? You know that? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (18:24):
They over overdo it, Yeah, overcorrect.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Particularly the weight. Right. Don't don't think that it's going
to be automatic, and don't dive headfirst into it doing
something that you know draft you're capable of doing one
day and then the rest of the week, and then
you just quit. Well, I lost a lot of weight,
I found you didn't. You want a lot of money
for losing.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
I want a lot of money for losing weight. Yes,
But my point is I know how to do it.
I haven't set my mind to do it again. Okay,
I gained a few pounds back, but that's that.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
That's life. But well, with the with the level that
was almost kind of expected because at the level that
you were at to win that contest, I mean, your
hell bent. That's tough maintaining that level it was after
the contest, I totally get that.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
So now I find pictures between winning that and then
where I started to lose control of the wagon again,
and I go, okay, I'm comfortable there. Like, so my
goal now, which is what I'm doing and I'm on
my way back down is to There's a picture of
the two of us I love, and it's like, Okay,
I'm perfect size there, Like I still fit in my tucks.
(19:28):
I look good in a suit. That's the goal. I
don't care about the scale. I want to know I
fit in this shirt, these pants, and that's the way
I want to look.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
And that's the way you do it.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
But you have to also know how to do it.
People go, I'm going to eat less. Yeah you can,
but if you don't fuel your body, your body eats muscle.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
What are you going to eat less of?
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Well, the biggest thing is to take sugar out of
your system. Okay, and sugar just is it's instant fat.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Replace it with honey. No, not so much sugar. What
are you eating raw sugar? Yeah, okay, process sugar thro
the bees. Honey is a sweetener, but it's not. That's
not what I mean. Like I take out sugars, which
(20:16):
also are starches. So you take out that. That's you know.
I think you'll find you can do nothing to your
diet except take out bread and your you will lose weight.
Yeah I could get yeah, but that's what you love.
My favorite thing. The weight will start coming off really quick.
Speaker 9 (20:36):
It comes off.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
You don't want to cut out all carbs because you
can't your body. Your mind runs on exactly. You need
some I love the people to go. I'm doing all protein.
Well that's great. See how you have a poop in
about a week. But yeah, I just passed a turkey.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
The bread was the hardest and all the Casely, get
a craving and I'll order the bread of asani and
I'll eat the whole day. Yeah, I can't stop on yep.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
I find myself walking in there sometimes before the show going.
You guys get any heels later?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Can we just have some half whatever? It's just a
little something till my show's done. On one, just one.
That bread is amazing. Well, unlike myself and Frank, there
are people who are going to be doing New Year's
resolutions eighteen percent. Only eighteen percent of American adults made
(21:36):
a resolution for twenty twenty five, so it's way way down,
down sharply from thirty eight percent in twenty twenty four.
Fifty percent of the people who made a resolution admit
they failed. Forty seven percent of them couldn't even make
it six months thirty four percent of those who failed
said they simply lost steam. Yeah, going at it too
(21:59):
hard initially will burn you out pace yourself. One of
the biggest issues lifestyle. Many people seem to find that
if you're trying to make a big change that doesn't
fit with your personal values and long term goals, it's
harder to commit yourself. M Yeah, if you're doing something
that goes without saying, right, I really want to do this.
(22:23):
If you're doing something temporarily to be healthier, like going vegetarian,
don't do that. No, we're trying to walk ten thousand
steps a day. Good luck, you're going to be five
miles away. Yeah, hungry, Yeah, yeah, glad I brought my phone.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
Suddenly everybody hates you at work. Yeah, you're snapping at everybody.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Yeah, I love the people. You're stacking on the place
because all you're eating is broccoli Brussels sprouts. People go, yeah,
I'm fasting many days, three days. Then you walk in here,
they're laying on the floor. You can't not eat for
three days, you know, some can do it depending on
(23:09):
what you're drinking. Well, yeah, there's you know, because Bull comedian, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Bull was telling me about he did a he did
a week and a half fast. I'm like, how the
hell did you do that? Yeah? I mean bull looks great.
He lost he's done, he's lost a lot of weight.
He's doing great. But yeah, I'm just like, I can't
figure out. I couldn't get I can do a day.
(23:31):
I could do a day easy if I'm at home
on the couch, pounding water and sleep.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
If I was yeah, small coma about a week and
a half, A couple of opioids.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah, I can fast for a couple of days. But
past that, I don't know. No, I don't have that.
I really don't have that.
Speaker 9 (23:51):
Yeah, the government wants to euthanize everybody. Why can't they
just put you in like a coma for a month
and help you lose weight and then wake you up.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
That should be the new one. Should be the new one. Yeah, yeah,
that would work.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Sleep, Yeah, sleep, Which is you know what's amazing to
me is the commercials, right they tell you know, like
a what is it the one where they're they're dancing
and you know, and I'll I have diabetes and I'm
taking the shot and I'm great. Every one of those
people are unhealthy. Weights, yes, okay. And then there's people
that go, I'm getting my stomach stapled, and the guy's
(24:21):
like four hundred and fifty pounds.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
I know the guy. Yeah, they're at the birthday party. Yeah,
jumping around. I can do things now, yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
He goes, Yeah, I'm four hundred fifty pounds. He goes,
I'm getting the stump, my stomach stapled. I'm going to
get that gastric bypass surgery. I'm like, okay, well, what's when. Well,
I got to lose forty pounds before he'll do it. Well,
how are you going to do that? Well, he put
me on a fifteen hundred calorie a day diet. I
lost to forty pounds. Okay, So there's no need to
staple your stomach.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Because it works on the diet. You're going to stay
on the diet, okay.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
And so if you just you know, stay on that
diet and stay that way, you don't need the stomach staple.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I can't count the number of stories I've heard of
people who've gotten that the lap band the stomach stapled
and wound up gaining the weight back anyway. Oh yeah, yeah,
there's no doubt.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Only it's worse for them because it's now the stomach
is smaller, stomach can't handle it. And then also you
don't digest sugars anymore because of the small intestines and stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 8 (25:23):
Everybody want Nobody wants to work anymore.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Everybody wants they want something easy.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
It's easy to put it on.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Yeah, you know, because I always say, you didn't put
it on a day, you're not going to take it
off in a day.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
No, you know what I mean. It took took me
a few months to put some pounds on. It's got
to take a few months to get it off. By
the way, did we mention today's National Cookie Day? How
about that? Lots of places have deals. Corner Bakery never
heard of them, neither Crumbler, Duncan, Duncans.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
They have cookies.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
If they got cookies, you're gonna get a deal on them. Okay, Uh,
Insomnia Cookies, never heard of them, But this sounds good.
Jimmy John's, you gotta buy. I would imagine a foot
long probably to get a get a freak, get a
free cookie. Panera Bread probably the same thing.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:14):

trying to learn, near as I could tell, you have
to have an arthritic grip on a fork and some
sort of palsy to get all the arms out, get

What's a driverless car? No?
Speaker 4 (34:20):
Yeah, okays are driverless cars?
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Way moo out in La. A way moo out in
La took a left turn right into the middle of
a police standoff yesterday. It's all on video. A rep
for way More says the vehicle cleared the scene and
passengers made it safely to their destiny.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
That's good.
Speaker 9 (34:40):
No bullets lying, But did you hear they tried to
basically bring down WAMO and a group of college students
called fifty of them all at once, have those same location,
and they all showed up.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Yeah, well, and so so it's kind it was really
kind of a hack in a way. They didn't hack it,
but they all fifty people called WEAIMO all at the
same place, and I think it was in La too, right,
And so the drive and it was in like an
industrial area, right, All fifty Waymo cars showed up and
they sat there for I guess they they wait there's
(35:13):
a certain waiting period before they'll take off, and they
all sat there before they left. Really it took fifty
offline for you know, that's minutes.
Speaker 9 (35:22):
Well, and it's like I think they wanted to try
to like flood the system, but they all showed up
and they were all there. They just create a little
mini traffic jam. It's not like it didn't work. It worked,
you know.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Yeah, well, yeah, the hack work, right. Well, I just
there's a video out because they've all got to drive.
All those waymos in that area have to drive to
the area, and then they all have to stay there
for a time, so you're kind of jamming up the
system and creating a traffic jam at the same time
for a few minutes.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Well, there's a video of an old guy in the
in the back seat of one of those and he's
panicking because there's nobody driving the car.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
I would be too, And then if you see the
other one.
Speaker 9 (35:56):
Pretty good though, I.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Think Tesla has got Tesla's got their own driverless vehicles,
only they have a safety driver just to just in case.
And this one guy's got a video of him in
the driverless car and the safety driver sound asleep. Oh yeah,
I love it.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
Well, a friend of ours has a Tesla and it
has the you know.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
Autopilot, the self driving, self driving.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
And which has already caused some problem. Well it did it.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
He got in the car, put the directions into the
thing and forgot to hit the autopilot and he rearanded
a car. Because yeah, that's user error, because that was
my fault, not covered, that's my fault, and I admit that.
Speaker 9 (36:37):
Well, they tried, some two guys on the internet tried
to break some record about going the furthest distance using
the self driving and they made it, I think twenty
miles until they hit something rubber in the road and
it you know, it.
Speaker 5 (36:50):
Makes it stops and you have to take the wheel right.
So it didn't make it where they needed to go.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
But what are you gonna do.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
I'd fallen asleep a couple of times, so basically I
was a driverless car.
