Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly Show. Is the Jesse Kelly Show.
Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on a Wonderful
Friday and ask doctor Jesse Friday. And this hour we're
gonna talk everything about everything from color revolutions to do
we have too many billionaires? Should there be more sharing?

(00:32):
To deflating your neighbors basketballs all, that's so much more
coming up on The Jesse Kelly Show this hour. Now. First,
I wanted to get to this because here's there's a question.
This guy said, Shadow. That's one of my nicknames, by
the way, it's because I'm covert. What is a color
revolution and are we seeing one? Now? Well, a color

(00:55):
revolution is a lie? And explain the general idea behind
a color revolution is this. It's always defined as being
quote nonviolent, and we'll get to that part in a moment.
That's the part that's always a lie. But it's always
defined as being nonviolent. And the reason they call them

(01:20):
color revolutions is oftentimes there is a color associated with
the cause. It's the Orange Revolution. There's been one of
those before the Tulip Revolution, the Red Revolution. They will
pick a color and they will associate that with the
cause now I need to explain that aspect of it,

(01:42):
because it's going to help you understand what you're seeing
with the communists with Democrats today in the United States
of America. Sometimes, I'm sure the Democrat, the liberal ant
Pagy in your life, that you've had a debate with her,
that you've had an argument with her about politics, and
during that argument, it doesn't take you long to figure

(02:04):
out that she either doesn't know any specifics or won't
discuss any specifics. Everything is just general terms. Hey, I
hate Trump? Okay, can you tell me exactly why? And
that's a simple question. Can you tell me why he's
a Nazi?

Speaker 2 (02:26):
All right?

Speaker 1 (02:27):
No? I mean I mean could you could you get
more specific than that? Could What is it that you
don't like? And then maybe the best you can do
is she'll rattle off a couple things that are completely
not true at all, I mean, just outright lies. Well,
he said, you should inject yourself with bleach. He said, Nazis,

(02:48):
we're very fine people. She's she's got two or three
bullet points. None of them are true. But no depth
you are there. You think you're going to reason with her,
the liberal and Peggy in your life. You think you're
just going to reason, but let's use facts, logic, let's

(03:09):
use an argument. But she almost doesn't seem interested in
that at all. In fact, she doesn't seem like she's
even capable of that. Well she's not, because you know
what sells to people, to people especially who are herd animals.
Dumb people really really buy into this, lower IQ people,
people who lack confidence. They're what, Chris, I wasn't being mean.

(03:32):
I meant just naturally stupid. That's not being mean. Some
people are stupid. You can't do anything about that. Look
at you. That was a joke. Gosh. Anyway. You know
what sells to those people is simplicity, simplicity, cells, simplicity.
You probably has this. You probably has, You probably has

(03:53):
I'm calling people stupid and I can't speak. You probably
have disdain for it. You want more details? Now tell
me what? Tell me? Why explain it to me? Simplicity
sells to dumb people, low confidence people. It always has,
it always will. So we're having a not King's protests.
Everybody wear yellow, That's what it was. Wear yellow. Why

(04:17):
that's dumb? Why do we all have to wear this?
It's very simple. I'm going to show that I am
part of this herd. I'm going to show that I
am a good person by putting on my yellow shirt
and my yellow hat. It's very simple. This is not
unique to America. Again, you can go look up color

(04:38):
revolutions that have taken place several times throughout history. That's
oftentimes they associate a color with it. Now, let's talk
about the other part. This is why a color revolution
itself is kind of a lie. Color revolutions are sold.
If you look up the definition of them, they're always
talking about non violent. It's characterized as being non violent.
It's non violent, it's a non violent revolution. That's not

(05:01):
true at all. They simply redefine violence. For instance, let's
make it about here, the Trump administration. They are trying
to arrest in deport all the rapists and murderers Democrats
brought into this country on purpose. Democrats brought in brought
them into the country on purpose. Then these violent criminals

(05:24):
tend to congregate in the Democrat run areas where they
can be provided for and protected. So you're going into Chicago,
you're going into la you're arresting rapists. Communists don't want
you to do that. What is one of the main
tactics you've seen. You've seen it over and over again
the past two to three weeks. They will gather in

(05:45):
large numbers in front of an ice facility and they'll
just stand in the road so the vehicle can't drive by.
Look at me. I'm being nonviolent. I'm not violent. I'm
not It's the childhood version of or the adult version
of that thing you used to do as a kid
when you were annoying. I'm not touching you. I'm not
touching you. My finger's only an inch from your face.

(06:08):
I'm not touching you. That's what they do. And they
do this in various ways across society, and they do
this so they can claim they're peaceful and non violent.
So when you see legions of these savages march into
Communist a congressman's office and they'll go quote occupy the lobby,

(06:29):
they'll just go sit on the couches and sit on
the desk. They're not hitting anybody, they're not looting anything.
They're just here to protest them whatever weird crap. But well,
I've saved the polar bears or whatever stupid thing. These
hippies are protesting nowadays, and they always like to try
to classify themselves as being nonviolent. Of course, it's the
furthest thing in the world from being non violent. If

(06:50):
I am an ice agent and i just grab a
multi time sex offender and I'm trying to get him
off the streets so he cannot rape your and you
are stopping me from bringing him to custody, you are
committing an act of violence. You are committing an act
of violence. But they call them color revolutions, trying to

(07:13):
manipulate this and manipulate that, and trying to always manipulate
public opinion, trying to get the masses on their side.
Communists do so much of what they do to get
the masses on their side. And even if they can't
get everyone, which they know they won't, they're trying to
just bring in as many people as humanly possible. It's

(07:36):
why they tell huge lies all the time, big gigantic,
obvious lies. They're not worried about the fact that it's wrong.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Are reverence for the truth might become might have become
a bit of a distraction that is preventing us from
finding consensus and getting important things done.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Worried about that they're selling the revolution, all right, all right, Jessie,
we have nine hundred people who are billionaires. With that said,
when you look at history and people are struggling, you
get revolution. I come at you as a conservative. Okay,

(08:13):
so he's saying, I mean, you know what he's saying.
You can read between the lines. He didn't lay it
all out specifically. But people are struggling. Maybe you right
now are struggling. Maybe you're not making it. And we
always like to talk about people barely making it, barely
keeping their heads above water. I've had points of time
in my life where I wasn't barely making it. I

(08:33):
wasn't making it. You ever sat down and decided which
bills you're gonna pay or not pay? I've done. That
doesn't feel good. Not making it, that's not making it,
all right, And we have more and more of those
people in the country not making it. With inflation being
what it is, the jobs market being what it is,

(08:56):
interest rates being what they are, people aren't making it.
And when people aren't making it, when you look at
people who are making it or maybe are swimming in it,
it is the most natural thing in the world. It's
human nature to look at them and think that's not fair.

(09:23):
That's not fair. That tech guy, he runs Facebook, he's
on his private jet. He put it up on his
Instagram page. I'm on my way to my second job
after spending fifteen minutes to eat dinner and see my
family just so we can pay our mortgage this month.

(09:44):
And that guy's on his private jet eating steak and
mac and cheese. That's not fair. What are you shaking
your head at, Chris? But what do you mean he's
not eating mac and cheese with his steak to east
mac and cheese with their steak. It's the greatest side
in the world. It's the greatest side in the world.

(10:05):
You sound just like, oh o, pitch is a fit
when I make some Kraft mac Whenever we make steaks
at the house, steaks and mac and cheese go together
like like peanut butter and jelly. Are you not? Are
you not allowed to eat it? Is this a jealousy thing?
You're not allowed to eat it? Isn't it? This is
the religious jealousy, Chris. I'm being religiously persecuted on the

(10:29):
show by Jewish producer. Chris. I knew it all. Anyway,
we will discuss this in a little bit more detail.
The all these billionaires people aren't making it. What's happening.
I'll explain it before we talk about that. Let's talk
about you feeling good. You know, one of the ways
your life can improve, your entire life, your personal life,

(10:50):
your professional life. One of the ways it can improve
is with natural herbal supplements from chalk. I don't take
chalk because I enjoy making it part of my breakfast
routine every day. You know what I take. I've told
you about it many times. I take a male Vitality stack.
That's what I take. It's three different things from chalk,
Tonkat and Ashvigonda and their daily vitamin. It's three different things. Well,

(11:14):
it's not just because I enjoy it, man, I feel
good all the time. I'm always ready to move, wanting
to move, not wanting to sit out, put my feet up.
I'm tired. My mind works better. That's what chuck can
do for you, whether you're a man, woman, young, old, naturally,
stop sticking needles in your arm. Choq Chalk dot com

the Jesse Kelly Show. I like it returns next, It
is The Jesse Kelly Show on a Wonderful Friday. As
we cruise into the Weekendmember, you can email the show
Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. So let's get back

(11:59):
to the email. Says he's a conservative. He says, we
have nine hundred billionaires and people aren't making it. People
are struggling, and you get a revolution when that happens.
And so we're going to talk about this now. Josh Holly,
Senator from Missouri. I'm hot and cold on Holly. Sometimes
he says things I really like. Sometimes he says things

(12:21):
that are really freaking stupid. But this is one of
those really stupid times. He said something it's really dumb.
It was an awful stupid thing to say, awful stupid
thing to think, but I understand it. Here's what he said.
Their CEO is getting paid. Let me make sure he's
talking about Amazon. Their CEO is getting paid. Let me
make sure I get this right.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
In twenty twenty four, Amazon's president earned forty point one
million dollars in total compensation forty point one The previous
year he'd earned merely twenty nine point two.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
I mean, that's that's an unbelievable. That's great work.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
If you can get it, that's an unbelievable race. The
problem is, according to their own financial disclosures, Amazon's average
worker average employee worldwide is making thirty seven and eighty
one dollars.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Okay, So remember what determines your income, kids, Remember what
determines it. It's not your popularity, not even ho hoed
you work although that you want to work hard, it's
going to help you. The scarcity of your marketable skills,

(13:33):
that is what will determine what you get paid. What
do professional quarterbacks make more than firemen? Firemen are more important,
no question. Firemen are more important. Braver too. You know
how many people can throw the ball for three hundred
yards and three touchdowns in one game. There ain't many
of them, and it's marketable. So those guys make forty

(13:53):
million dollars a year in firemen, don't. Now. Setting that aside,
you're going to hear more and more of this kind
of talk. And you're going to hear this kind of
talk because underneath all the good things that are happening,
and there are good things happening, we are watching, you're
living it. Maybe you are in the middle of it,
the slow, steady destruction of the middle class in the

(14:17):
United States of America. People are being not lifted up,
although there are some maybe that's you help rooting for you,
but people are being pushed down into poverty because of
the devaluation of the currency. When you have a twenty
twenty five percent devaluation in currency, that means everybody is

(14:38):
twenty five percent poorer. And so you might have been
middle class, breaking into the middle class on the cusp
of owning a home, buying a car that doesn't break down,
whatever you were looking to do. Now that your money
isn't going as far, you're not that. Frankly, you probably
qualify for snap now. When that's happening, when people are

(14:59):
not making when they're barely treading water or not treading
water at all, there is inevitably going to be an
appetite for taking from the rich, especially at a time
where we are right now. When the wealthy, I forget
the number we talked about it on the show, I
think it's eighty percent. When the wealthy are making up

(15:21):
seventy to eighty percent of consumer spending. So they'll put
out these huge charts and graphs and say the economy's good.
Consumer spending is the same. No, no, no, no, no no, no.
Consumer spending is not the same because rich people are
buying more plane tickets, more meals, more of dresses or
whatever people buy. Rich people are doing more consumer spending,

(15:42):
there's no question about it, tossing money here and tossing
money there. But normal people are not able to do
any of it. And here is what cannot be stopped.
I will never embrace wealth envy. I don't do it.
I do not do it. I don't believe in it
at all. But here's what cannot be stopped. If you

(16:04):
were at a time in your country, no matter what
the country is, when people, the majority of people are
getting poorer, there will be a market, a large political
market for this kind of COMMI goblet cook.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Their CEO is getting paid.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Let me make sure I get this right.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
In twenty twenty four, Amazon's president earned forty point one
million dollars in total compensation forty point one. The previous
year he'd earned merely twenty nine point two. I mean,
that's that's an unbelievable that's great work if you can
get it. What's an unbelievable race only problem? Is according

(16:43):
to their own financial disclosures, Amazon's average worker average employee
worldwide is making thirty seven one and eighty one dollars.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Yeah, CEO is worth more financially, not as a human being,
he's worth more. They're There aren't a lot of people
who can do the job of CEO of a major corporation.
There just aren't a lot of them. It's not that
there's anything wrong with factory work, assembling things up shoot,

(17:14):
run into forklift, which I've done before myself. Nothing wrong
with it, and in fact you can make a nice living,
but a lot of people could do it, so you
get paid less. It's not a scarce skill. There's no
scarcity there. But none of that matters. What does matter
is going forward, not just in Democrat circles, in some

(17:36):
Republican circles, that kind of messaging is going to become
more prevalent as people aren't making it. Hey, why do
they have so much? You should have that, you deserve that.
He shouldn't make that that belongs to you. When you
have poorer people, the political messaging in any society is

(18:01):
going to be aimed towards them. Inevitably. This is the
way it works. All right, let's move on. Let's talk
about everything from deflating basketballs to civil war. First, let's
talk about Legacy Box. What will last? What truly lasts?
That gift you got for Christmas last year? Those slippers,

(18:23):
they're not gonna last, probably already have holes in them.
A new video game system, it's not gonna last in
a break. But the memories you have with your family,
if you preserve them, will and they are precious, precious memories.
You know what I did on October fourteenth, anniversary of
my father's death, when I got done with a show.

(18:44):
I wouldn't do it before the show because it would
have messed me up. I went home, sat by myself,
opened up my phone and went through pictures and videos
of my father that I have because of Legacy Box.
Legacy Box digitizes your home movies, digitize your hard copy pictures.
They digitize the memories so you have them forever. They'll

(19:06):
be on the cloud, they'll be in a ZIP drive.
Don't let these memories fade with sun and time, flood
and fire. Keep them. They're everything. They're so much more
important than that new DVD player. Sorry, I aged myself.
Those don't exist. Anymore. Legacybox dot com slash Jesse legacybox

It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, fantastic Friday,
and asked doctor Jesse Friday member, if you miss any
part of the show at all, you can download it
on iHeart, Spotify, iTunes. So I do have to tell you.

(19:53):
I told you last night that I did the Megan
Kelly Live show with her here in the Houston area.
It was awesome. Megan's cool. This is awesome. It was
a fun event. Came out. Hope you had a good
time out a good time. If you're a new listener, Sorry,
we screw off a lot on this show. It can
be heavy. At ten is as heavy as ten boxes
that you might be moving. But I feel like maybe

(20:15):
afterwards I maybe have made some mistakes, or at least
a mistake. I told you we had this little private
thing afterwards. It was me and Ab Megan and her
husband Don Junior and his lady. We're at this We're
at this place and they have this little private room
and they have this big meat cheese display and it's big.

(20:38):
There's Oh, you can't believe how many meats were on
this thing, Chris. I only recognized like two or three
of them. There was pershudo, there was salami. There was salami,
and there was those thick looking pepperoni things. But it's
not pepperoni. They're super dark red. I don't know whatever.
There are enough Italians who listened some whatever. There's a

(20:59):
bunch of There are all kinds of meats, and there
was some fruit. No no need for that. And there
were crackers, and there are all kinds of cheeses. And I
was hungry, and so I started to pick away at
it during the conversation. Only it wasn't right by where
we were talking. It was five feet away. So I

(21:22):
would turn around and step away and grab a cracker,
throw some meat on it, throw some cheese on it.
And I was trying to be polite. I didn't want
crumbs everywhere, so I would just throw the entire thing
in my mouth. Only these Why do you have to
make that face, Chris, I already feel bad enough. I
would throw the entire thing in my mouth, but it

(21:44):
was too much. You couldn't turn around and start talking,
so I kind of had to stand there over the thing,
chawing away at this, and then I would turn back
around as it kind of broke down enough. What, Chris,
I don't know why you think I need that. That's
a little rude. Christ just asked if I buy you
an etiquette course, would you go. I don't understand what

(22:05):
I'm supposed to do. Was I supposed to not eat?
They put it there? Still you can eat? I'm starving.
We were there, it wasn't in mid conversation. I waited
till other people were talking before I left, so that
doesn't count. Jesse, I've got neighbors I'm great friends with,
but I'm a Buckeye and they're Michigan fans. Ew they

(22:27):
recently got a Michigan logoed basketball they leave in the driveway,
taking inspiration from your history lesson about East Germans and
bike tires. Around once a month, I completely deflate the basketball.
Enjoying my Saturday morning coffee and seeing them with hands
on their hips and puzzled looks wondering where in life

(22:48):
they went wrong brings me joy. How often can I
do this before I'm out of line? No, I think
once a month is solid. I think once a month
is solid. But let me tell you something. Whenever Ohio
State is gearing up to play Michigan this year in football,
it needs to be every day, every single day. That

(23:12):
is the kind of joy that that is the kind
of joy that most people can't understand. Jesse, I've heard
some folks calling Democrats insurrection or calling the Democrats insurrection,
called a civil war, But all I see in these
demonstrations is white people with funny colored hair. So the
civil war will be white on white. Let me tell

(23:35):
you something. I know we have a lot of problems.
I don't know that we're going to have a civil
war one day. Now we could, and a lot of
the ingredients that were there. Remember what we know about
our civil Let's talk about the civil war we had,
because this is very similar to other civil wars that

(23:55):
have taken place. There's nothing worse than a civil war.
It's the last thing in the world you should ever for.
They're just horrible. But during our civil war, most people
know the high points and Gettysburg and things like that.
You know the high points. You know when the armies
started clashing with each other for someter, You know all that.
But what a lot of people don't think about is

(24:18):
all the years leading up to it, and this is
going to be the dark part of what we're gonna say,
So I'm gonna warn you. I'll bring you back up
in a moment. But in the years leading up to it,
Americans in individual states, Americans were slowly but surely seeing
each other as the enemy, and their political side kept

(24:42):
telling them that's the enemy, that's the enemy, that's the enemy,
that's the enemy. When enough Americans got convinced of that,
that turned into individual small acts of violence. Have you
ever heard of things like bleeding Kansas. That's one of
those things a lot of people will have heard. But

(25:03):
that's one example of something that took place in various
places across the country. The Civil War didn't start with
Fort Sumter. The Civil War started years and years and
years beforehand, when individual Americans decided that they're fellow Americans

(25:24):
who they had big disagreements with were worthy of being murdered.
Now does that sound familiar to what we're dealing with
with the communists right now? How many times have we
talked about the numbers, the poll numbers, the percentages, the
percentages of Democrats, especially young democrats in this country who

(25:46):
feel like violence is justified. We're fighting Nazis, We're fighting evil.
Violence is justified. Someone has to hurt them, someone has
to kill them. I hope someone does. How many montages
have I played for you of Democrats at these rallies.
I hope Donald Trump dies. The governor of Minnesota gets

(26:09):
up at a rally and talks about how we were
all hoping that that's essentially what he said, that Trump
was dead. We were all hoping for some news, and
he was talking about this fake news that Donald Trump
had died, which was whatnot? What is that doing? It's
not creating a civil war yet, We're not at each
other's throats in that way yet. But what we are

(26:29):
definitely doing is increasing the percentage of Americans who believe
that violence is a solution, that violence, that people on
the right, they deserve to be killed, they deserve to
be hurt. You will change your ways or you get
what's coming to you. Let's be honest. After Charlie Kirk

(26:50):
was assassinated, it wasn't only people saying he deserved it.
I'm glad he's dead. But you saw in mainstream circles,
professional politic people in the media, mainstream circles. How many
people did we play for you on this show who
said something along the lines of, well, he was divisive. Ah, man,

(27:12):
I think it's really sad. I think it's terrible. I
hate political violence, but he was divisive. I mean, he
was divisive. What are you saying. You're saying he had
a coming. I'm not.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
Look, I'm a good person. I don't like violence. I
think it's really sad. I wish this hadn't happened. But
he was divisive. That's what you're saying. And what I've
tried to explain.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
I know this gets dark, but I told you there
was going to be an assassination months and months and
months before there was one, and I told you after
that that there would be more. And there will be more,
and I don't know who it will be, there will
be more. And you know this because the rhetoric from
the left hasn't changed one bit. They didn't change it

(28:07):
after Steve k Scalise got gunned down. They didn't change
it after Donald Trump got shot in the head. They
didn't change it after Charlie Kirk was murdered in broad
daylight before our eyes. They didn't back down. They didn't
slow down. They didn't back off at all. It was Nazi, Nazi,
Nazi Nazi ah. And what that's doing is increasing the

(28:28):
percentage of Americans who believe violence is a solution, and
that can lead to civil war if the right circumstances
are there. Now, that's the bad news. The good news
is well, I'll give you good news in a moment.
Let me read this really quickly. Jesse, I've been a
robe guy since high school, when my mom got me
a fuzzy robe so I wouldn't walk around the house

(28:49):
and my boxers anymore. Since then, I've tried a fruit
few robe outfits. In the robe, I wear an undershirt,
pajama pants, and slippers. But the summer it's just boxers
in a robe. What is your preferred robe attire? Do
you have a preferred robe fabric? His name is Marcus.
The only robe I own is the only robe I need,

(29:10):
my friend, It's the Cozy Earth robe. I have no
need or desire for a different robe because cut my
Cozy Earth robe just holds me. When I'm giving you
a warning right now, when you start buying things from
Cozy Earth, whether it's their heavenly bamboo sheets with a

(29:31):
ten year warranty. I might add their robes, their facial creams, ladies,
their pajamas. Ob Ob wears Cozy Earth pajamas every single night.
They are absurdly comfortable, breathable. When you start with Cozy Earth,
it's like a drug. I'm worried they're gonna be I'm
worried they're gonna ban it. Cozyarth. Dot com promo code

Speaker 3 (30:10):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show, churning and burning through
and ask doctor Jesse Friday, all kinds of great things
happening out there right now.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
Let me finish it up my thought before we move
on and do other things. On the show, we were
talking about the Civil War and worries about that, and
I kind of went into how part of what we're
seeing right now with the communists viewing us as being
killable people who should be hurt for our beliefs, part
of that is similar to the lead up to the
Civil War last time, but there is a huge, huge difference,

(30:44):
and it is probably the difference. It's it's a regional thing.
Here's what I mean. The country was divided back then regionally,
extremely regionally, in ways that we're easy to lay out
on a map. Remember, part of the part of the

(31:04):
hubbub back then was America was expanding. We were not
fifty states yet, we were moving west. We were adding states.
You had all these people in the North who hated slavery,
wanted slavery abolished, and they wanted all the new states
no slavery. You had all these people in the South.

(31:27):
Slavery was viewed as woven into their economy. They viewed
as any any elimination of slaves or slavery as being
something that would cripple them, destroy them, and so they
didn't want any of this. You can't add states and
banned slaves in it, because then we'll be outnumbered, outvoted.

(31:49):
But the issues itself are not necessarily important for the
purpose of our conversation. The purpose of our conversation is
it was easily divided by a line. In the north
of this line, they feel this way. South of this line,
they feel this way. What I've discussed with you before,
and honestly, it's something that I've never found a historical

(32:10):
example of is this. Our dividing lines in America are
completely blurred because even quote blue states aren't really blue.
There are hostile communist blue city states inside of these states.

(32:32):
But the best example of this, although it applies to everywhere, honestly,
it applies to really every state in the country. Go
look at a congressional map. You want to see a
fascinating one of Illinois. Go look at Illinois. You think
of Illinois as a solidly blue state, and I guess electorally,
you're right. You know, the governor is always going to
be a Democrat. I guess they're right. Go look at

(32:55):
a congressional map of Illinois or a precinct map of
Illinois where people vote. Illinois is blood red, blood red,
it's farm country, wonderful people. Then there's Chicago. It's a
little little sliver. California is the same way. Oh, California.
A bunch of communists in California. No, that's La San Diego, Sacramento,

(33:19):
the coastal urban hell holes. That's where that is. Actually,
it's probably not fair to call San Diego a hell
hole or La, but they're turning it into one. Anyway,
it's the urban commune centers. But outside of that red
we are not neatly divided east west, north south. We
have hostile frankly I call them now foreign communist city

(33:44):
states in our midst We have this in Texas. Doesn't
just apply to blue states. We have this in Texas. Yes,
Texas overall is red, there's no question about that. But Austin,
Texas is as blue as any city in the United
States of America. That includes San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago. As

(34:04):
blue as any city in America is Austin. Austin. There's
no law, no communist law. They would not pass in
that place. None. It's a different situation here, which makes
something like an actual civil war impossible. Now you know,
you know what is possible, you finding a good employee.

(34:29):
It is possible. It feels impossible because you've been taking
ads out in the paper, and you've been asking your friends,
and you've put a help wanted sign in the door,
and all your getting are dirt balls and turds. Half
of them don't even show up for the interview. If
by chance, you happen to hire somebody, they're flaking out

(34:49):
on you. In the first week. I know, I hear
it all. This is why zip recruiter is number one.

You want a cheat code for hiring ZipRecruiter dot com

(35:29):
slash Jesse ZipRecruiter dot com slash Jesse Dear Princess band aids.
That's mean I'm listening to the Bible all the way
through for the first time in my life. I'm doing
it while I work running a bulldozer. Turns out you
are quote clean quote. If he has lost his hair

(35:49):
from the front of his scalp and he has a
bald forehead, he is clean. You know that's not very nice,
and I don't need you chiming in with him, Chris
and agree with him. That's not very nice. You know
what I thought about. I saw this helmet. I saw
an advertisement online. It was his helmet, and I don't
know what they did, but the helmet had all these

(36:11):
red lights inside. It almost looked like a baseball helmet.
You've seen it, Chris. Almost look like a baseball helmet.
And I'm sure it's some stupid, gimmicky thing that doesn't
work at all. But I had a moment. I had
a moment where I saw it and I thought I
should check the price. I didn't. I moved on because
I didn't want to give in to temptation. What Chris

(36:36):
Chris said, isn't it nice not having to worry about it?
It is. It's fantastic. I'm not complaining. I'm okay with
being bald. I knew this was always coming for me.
I'm a Kelly. This is how it goes for the Kellys.
You're not going to keep your hair. My sons are
having a good time at my expense. Goood, you're so
bald now, and I've already told them. You know what,
Enjoy it, son, you got twenty years left. Enjoy that

(36:56):
little map of hippie hair on your head now, because
it's going away anyway. Anyway, I enjoy being bald. Here's
the thing I think every guy, once you reach a
certain age, even if you don't pine for the old days,
which everyone knows I don't, I enjoy where I am now.
Even if you don't pine for the old days, you
wonder every now and then you wonder. I've had a think.

(37:20):
I've had this way of thinking before. Not that I
was any good at basketball, but I played for years,
and I have dunked a basketball before in the past.
I'm six foot eight. I can't jump, but I'm six
foot eight, so that gets you most of the way there.
I've had this. I've had this thinking before. In fact,
every time I'm buy a basketball court, I think to myself,
could I could I steal? It's perfectly natural. And when

(37:44):
I'm looking at this bad helmet of hair growth thingy,
I know that it's going to be some horrible ripoff.
It's probably made in China that's like designed to melt
your mind and steal your data or something like that,
like everything else in China. So I know I know
it won't work. But part of me he thinks to myself,
what if I started wearing this baseball helmet of hair growth,

(38:05):
and what if I just end up with some thick
mop of hair on my head. I don't know why
you're rolling your eyes, Chris. You know this is gonna
come for you one day. Do you have baldness in
your family? You do. I'm so happy you have any
idea how ruthless I'm going to be when your hair
starts falling out on the show. I'm gonna give daily updates.
What are you shaking your head for? Are you going transplant?

(38:27):
You're gonna go totally shaved. Dang it. I kind of
respect that. All right, we have another hour. Hang on,
