Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thanksgiving leftovers. It's one more thing, I'm strong andy, one
more thing and perhaps our laziest one more thing, And
that's saying something. I'm just gonna go through a whole
bunch of screen captures on my phone of stuff, just
like random stuff that I found interesting enough to screen
capture but haven't gotten to over the last week and

(00:22):
a half or so.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
This is Pope Parrie. This is the fruits of your labors.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
This is showing that you didn't even take a break
while we were on break.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
This is the spice of life. That is variety, anti lazy.
So I had tweeted out that I was unhappy with
the fortune I got at Panda Express, and just for
years and now, fortunes have not been fortunes. You know,
fortune should be you're going to meet a man with
black hair who will be the love of your life.

(00:54):
You know something that's going to come true. The one
that I got at pend Express was express yourself through
art and music. It's just like a declaration to start
ballet or something.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
It's advice. It's an advice cookie.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
From Panda Express too so but so somebody responded to
that with they're never our fortunes anymore. My older son
got one at Panda Express that said keep your expectations reasonable,
which he described as the most Charlie Brown of all
fortune cookie messages. Keep your expectations reasonable? What kind of
who wants to eat and be told that? I find

(01:33):
that hilarious.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Advice Cookies, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Thanks a lot for that. Pend Express. You told me
it's not Uh. I always thought it was kind of
like low rent, but you're telling me it's not. It's considered.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Okay, it's yeah, it's decent. Yeah, I enjoy it. I
like our worst choice. I won't pay their advice cookies
really out to say cut down your sodium intake. Yes,
that would be a good one.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Umm.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
A South Korean man avoided the draft. They still have
the draft in South Korea avoided the draft by binge eating.
He ate so much when he realized he was about
to be drafted, he gained enough weight that he was
too fat to get drafted. That's a South.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Korea doesn't let super fat people in their military. We do,
don't we, or at least pretty fat.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Another military thing, this one serious. So there was an
article in the Washington Post about our f thirty five,
which is uh, thirty five one of our f's, one
of our super fancy airplanes, and on how it's not reliable.
It's got all kinds of problems with where the guns
are installed, that doesn't work right, and a repair times,
and it's not CyberSecure and it's easy to hack into.

(02:44):
And Elon Musk the rocket genius, replied to that that
you know, because he's doing the whole doge thing and
really looking at the Pentagon, and he said this was
an expensive waste of money and time, complex, jack of
all trades, master of none. Success was never in the
set of possible outcomes. We need to do better. Plus
we should not have manned fighter jets. And the reason

(03:08):
I thought that was interesting is Elon now kind of
in a position where as the rocket scientist looking at
things from the tech perspective, might have some pretty big
influence on this stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
I would love to see more out of the box
thinking that direction. Certainly I would too.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Ukrainian confidence in Zelensky at an all time low. He
is down to sixty percent approval in Ukraine. To get
to it.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
On the radio show today, he's making unmistakable noises about, hey,
if we have to give up some territory. Let's just
sit down, let's negotiate an end to this.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
You talked about this. I was going to get into it. Warnful,
maybe I will on the radio show about and yet
another study that DEI programs actually escalate hostility and racial
tensions in the workplace. I've got all sorts of stuff
on that. Yeah, it's absolutely amazing and not surprising at all.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Oh no, no, especially given the fact that the programs
don't actually aimed to accomplish what they're claiming to accomplish.
It's all a charade. It's a head fake, it's a ruse.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Came across this. I think we've become too woke and
gone too far with a whole bunch of stuff. But
we needed some of this. As recently as nineteen sixty seven,
I saw this picture. This is from the Boston Marathon,
because they had the Boston Marathon the other day. Race
organizers attempt to stop Catherine Switzer from competing in the
Boston Marathon as she became the first woman to finish

(04:30):
the race. They allowed women in, and you had protesters
at the race. These were other runners, guys in their
bibs with the number on them, trying to tackle this
woman to stop a woman from running in a marathon
that was in nineteen sixty seven.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Well, on the other hand, all that bouncing up and
down his bed for their breasts, Jack, it's it's for
their own good. We're keeping the little ladies at home.
It's true.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
How crazy is that? In my lifetime, men, I thought
women shouldn't be allowed to run a race?

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Right, Well, that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Um.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
You remember the ad slogan You've come a long way baby.
Of course, that was to sell women on the idea
of you can smoke too and give yourself dread diseases
and die prematurely graduate slogan.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, yeah, I had all my information on the whole
banana art thing, but we did cover that on the
radio show. It was the six point two million dollar
banana duct taped to the wall was which sold by
a fruit vendor outside for like eighty five cents, and
he somehow feels like he got ripped off, and and
and this tech billionaire who bought then took the banana

(05:38):
down from the wall and ate it so good.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Plight So well, I can't decide if this is AI
or legitimate. But there's a statue of Barack and Michelle Obama.
I think it's in Chicago and somebody stuck the banana
to the front of Michelle unfortunate reference to both that
hot art story and a right wing conspiracy that I
will not dignify.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
I was a description that's pretty funny. I love that
so much. I don't know why that is pretty funny.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
But again, I don't know if somebody actually did it,
or it's just like somebody created the AI image.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Oh, I took it. She's Scott no Wang No, Michelle
Obama's not.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Move on, move on, move on, move on.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
I took a picture at the grocery store in Salina, Kansas,
where I was for Thanksgiving, because they I was in
the over by the produce and stuff and had fresh sushi,
and I took a picture of it, thinking how fresh
could this sushi be? We're seventeen hundred miles from the
notion either direction. Yes, I just wonder about that. Where

(06:46):
did that come from? How did it get here? What
does it taste like? I wondered all those things. Pictures
of my brother at Disney World, oh Ian Bremmer with
the shortest quote that he's ever had in mainstream media,
and it related to the uh Kamala Harris thirty second

(07:08):
video that the Democratic Party put out we played on
the air where she makes no sense and sounds drunk,
And this was from uh NBC. Ian Bremmer, a political
scientist and the president of the Geopolitical Risk Advocacy from
Eurasia Group, simply wrote in response to the Democrats twenty eight.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
I thought it was going to be wow or bad
um um?

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yeah, she looked and sounded hammered in that video. Yeah,
because face she looked so rough.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Now, I heard a discussion about this yesterday, and this
is what I've been saying. I would think if she
was a drinker, it would have leaked out some unnamed
source would have said, oh, yes, she's got a drink
in her hand at it ten in the morning. And
nobody has done that.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
I disagree. I've heard it a bunch of times. That's
why I brought it up. No, it's not like your
big publication.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, not in the New York Times of the watch
Rington Post or anything like that. Don't you think somebody
would a knee captor by now, especially after she lost,
wouldn't somebody of a kneecaptor in like mainstream media over drinking.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
If that were true, I think if she attempts to
stage a comeback, you might see that. Although again she's
a half wit, she's a dope, she's talentless. That's enough.
Whether she's a drinker or not. We don't even need
to go there.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
I did screen capture this picture from Thanksgiving at mar
A Lago that included you got Trump in the foreground.
Then there's Elon Musk talking to Sylvester Salon, and I
just thought, I don't know what that is, but that's
that's some sort of together at last. Yeah, there's the
fruit vendor, an old guy very angry about selling the

(08:43):
banana that ended up being a six point two million
dollar piece of art, and the media was trying to
pretend that that was somehow sort of inequity. Something right
wrong happened there. I'm not exactly sure how that works.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
It's still kind of see the effort, but it's idiotic. Yeah, Katie, all.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Right, to go back to this Stallone thing?

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Is he?

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Are he and Trump close?

Speaker 3 (09:03):
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
I wasn't aware of that.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
He was interviewed on Hannity last night too, so he's
like kind of popping up on all the.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
He's not your usual run of the mill cele conservative
that you know about. Do you know Joe was Syvester
Saloon but a closeted conservative.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
All these years? Oh? Yeah to some extent? Yeah, Ok.
And he's just a beloved figure I think, kind of
a manly, traditional American guy, which just fits with a
whole vibe.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Costco is going to stop selling books in most US
stores they sell books. Oh you didn't know that he had.
They got a big, big, big, giant table full of books,
and the prices are usually really low for hard popular,
hardcover books. But because people don't buy them and you
didn't even know they were there, and they're so heavy

(09:48):
to move around and take up so much space, they
just aren't going to sell them anymore. So some people
are seeing that as another blow to the whole reading industry.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Are they still going to sell sweats Uncle Jack?

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Lots and lots of suff Yes. Bill Clinton reveals he
couldn't sleep for two years and was prone to outburst
of rage after Hillary lost to Trump. In his new memoir,
he says.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
What these people are nuts?

Speaker 1 (10:13):
He says, I apologize to all who endured my outburst
of rage, which lasted for years and bothered or bored
people who thought it pointless to rehash things that couldn't
be changed. Bill Clinton, of all people, he.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Didn't even look like he had the ability to show
rage when all of that was going on. Remember when
they did that big balloon drop and he looked like
all in awe, staring at the ceiling.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah, exactly, this was this. I screened apter this just
for our family because we have two pugs. A pug
won a National dog show for the first time.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
So great.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
She's kind of weird from a you've bred this so
it can't breathe standpoint, and and you know you've developed
an animal that would never occurred on Earth because it
can't breathe.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
To quote Ian Bremer. Uh, that's a.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Neat story there, Jack, Okay, Well, we were just excited
because a pug won a show. They never have me
because they're ridiculous looking. They're ugly little dogs.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
That's good stuff. Jack.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
I took this picture at the airport. They had a
sensory room at the Kansas City Airport. I don't think
I've ever seen one of these in an airport before.
So I walked over and the plaque said this room
provides a safe and calming environment to help guests that
might be feeling overwhelmed. Okay, what the hell is that?
So did you go into the room or did you

(11:39):
just read the black I'm not I just read the plaque.
But is that the modern world where we need a
room for people who are feeling overwhelmed.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
I can picture being overwhelmed in an airport. I suppose
you're juggling three kids, your flight just got canceled. It's
hectic and all. But I don't know. That's just that's
what life is. I don't And you're gonna go in
a room? Where are the kid's gonna go? What's it word?
I don't know? Just too much.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Robert F. Kennedy intends to require Coca Cola to begin
using kine sugar instead of high fructose syrup. As HHS secretary.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
I'm not sure you have that within your purview, sir,
but I'm willing to have the discussion.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Certainly, can he make a cola company use a certain ingredient?
I mean, it's not hy unless he unless he gets
the government to declare hyproctose corn syrup like a poison
or something.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
I wouldn't think, well, right, if he engages in the
sort of regulatory overreach the conservatives regularly criticized. I happen
to agree with him on that one, but that doesn't
mean the government has the power to do it or should.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Oh and on the RFK Junior front, did you see
the ad Cheryl Hines, his wife, who was the you know,
the wife of on Curb your Enthusiasm. That's actually RFK
Junior's wife. She's got to Yeah, I didn't know that.
Oh you didn't. Okay, she has a beauty line out now,
and she put out an ad in which she's standing

(13:02):
in the bathroom in RFK Junior is showering behind her naked.
So that's kind of a weird look for both of them.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
That's hot.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, oh he has yoked, no doubt about it. If
you want to make yourself look less crazy, that wasn't
the way to go about it.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Got my fortune the other day from a Chinese place
said change your oil every five thousand miles.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yeah, thank you, thank you Panda Express Advice. Well, I
guess that's it.
