Speaker 1 (00:00):
One on one point three k d WUB. We're just
a couple of minutes away and we will stop in
the middle of Sharon to make sure we give you
the next keyword for Sabrina Carpenter.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
But we want to talk to Sharon McMahon.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
But Sharon McMahon is kind of a friend of the
show and basically has I think it started out with
an Instagram with you know, that's how she got very
well known. And basically she's kind of a teacher and
wants people to know like the truth instead of like
the political politicized truth and all the you know, the
spin and that type of thing. So let's talk to Sharon.

(00:32):
And first of the question, did I do a good
job describing what you do, Sharon or did I leave
anything out? I know you're an author. Now I've actually
got your book. I've been reading your book a brother
chapter about Clara Brown because she's from Colorado. I'm from Colorado.
Fascinating book.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Really enjoy that.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Yeah, what I do is complicated, but you know, America's
government teacher is one one name you could use for me.
So I appreciate it. And it's good to be with you.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Well, thanks for being here. We were kind of surprised.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
You mean, it's just kind of like people who said
on the sidelines and get our news here and there,
and most people don't really know a lot about the
whole bombing and why we bombed and what was going on.
But then some people are very like excited or happy
that we did it, and some people are not. There
are two sides, Sharon, talk to me about the two sides,

(01:22):
the pros and cons or however you wanted to address
the bombing of Iran.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yeah, I think it's a great discussion to be having
because we you know, it helps us better understand our
own history and our own foreign policy. So here's one side.
The pro side for having gone in and bombed three
nuclear sites in Iran. The pro side is that Iran
is an evil regime. They are the largest state sponsor

(01:49):
of terror. They indiscriminately kill women and children, the elderly,
They kidnap people. The Islamic Republic of Iran actively engages
in crucifixion in the year twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
That's ruci fiction, which is not just something that you know,
it's a horrible, evil way to torture someone till they die.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yes, they use amputations and blindings as punishment. So these
are not good guys in this scenario. We can all
get on board with that. Now, what do you do
about not good guys? That's the question, of course. So
the idea is that, you know, if you're thinking about
the pro side, we should not let the Islamic Republic
of Iran have nuclear weapons. They can't be trusted with them.

(02:36):
That's the pro side. And Israel has spent the last
couple of weeks bombing with air strikes of course Iran's
military capabilities, decimating huge amounts of Iran's air force and
other military sites. So Iran's military capabilities are currently greatly weakened.

(02:58):
So this was seen by President as an advantageous time
to strike. Better to get them before they have nuclear
weapons than after, and better to get them when they
are weakened than when they are in a position of strikes.
So that's sort of the pro side. The conside, of course,
is that this is an act of aggression on the
part of the United States. That's pretty obvious. Whether or

(03:20):
not it is justifiable is another question, of course. But
the other thing about this is that there doesn't appear
to have been an actual imminent threat to the United
States in the sense of, like any day now, Iran
is going to drop a nuclear weapon on New York City.
There's no intelligence that says anything like that. In fact,

(03:41):
our own intelligence says the opposite, that they were not,
in fact just about ready to pull the trigger on
developing nuclear weapons. So, you know, the other one other
thing I'll add to that is that it does make
us more vulnerable in the Middle East. The United States
has dozens of military sits in the Middle East. We
have forty thousand troops stationed there right now, right and

(04:04):
it does make our military sites in the Middle East
more vulnerable to terrorist attacks and other other types of
retaliation from Iran.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Okay, now that we're talking with Sharon McMahon, And by
the way, I'm gonna mention you you have a newsletter
letter out that you can sign up for.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
It's a Preamble dot com. Yes, is it? The Preamble
dot com?

Speaker 3 (04:27):
The Preamble dot com?

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yes, Okay, And so we're we want to talk about
this because we never get political on the show, but
this was such a big story and this could be
one of the defining moments of the current presidency. But
a lot of people are worried that is this going
to turn into because you know Trump's ideas. I see
it is like now they're going to come to the
table and they're gonna want peace because they know that

(04:49):
we you know, we've got them. But then there are
other people say, no, this is going to lead to
a prolonged, generations long war. Now, I know you can't
predict the future, but what concerns you or what do
you want to say about that?

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Yeah, so the first thing I want people to remember
is that Iran does not have the military capability of
striking mainland United States. They don't have.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
The abilities a lot of people think they do.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah, yeah, they do not they can hit United States
interests overseas. That's not to say that our military sites
in the forty thousand troops we have stationed in the
Gulf area are not highly important.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
They are. Sharon, this is Sharon.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
I got to stop just for a second, and I
know this is rude, but but you knew this was coming.
I've got to give the keyword for Sabrina. This is
people are hearing. I know, I don't care. You know what, Sharon,
who's the king of awkward. Dave Ryan is the King
of aukward. So the keyword this time is sabrinas, So
make sure you use the keyword Sabrina. Just open up

(05:48):
the iHeartRadio app, tap that red microphone button and say
the keyword is Sabrina.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Boom. Now we're back in action.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Okay, So we left off with they do not have
the capability of striking the US, but our military interests
of forty thousand servicemen and women around the Middle East
could be in imminent danger.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Well, they have demonstrated for decades their willingness to use terrors.
That is really what they specialize in. And they fund
proxy groups like hamas has the law to who these
other militant groups who use terror as well. So even
if they want to say, you know, have plausible deniabilities
like oh it wasn't that it was has Belah, they

(06:29):
pay those militant groups, They pay provide them with weapons,
et cetera. So again, it's not that there is going
to be some kind of nuclear attack on the United States.
Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons. They can't strike the mainland
the United States. But it does not mean that we
are not more vulnerable elsewhere in the world right now.

(06:50):
That's just a very honest trade off of having taken
these actions.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
I want to ask you this one too, because now
people are saying that they will activate sleeper cells. It
sounds like kind of a John Clancy novel that they're
going to activate terrorst sleeper cells here in the United States.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Does that concern you?

Speaker 3 (07:09):
It does? It does, given their ability or their propensity,
I should say to engage in terror and knowing that
they don't have the ability to have sort of a
might versus might fight with the United States. Of course
they don't. We have a far larger military capability than
they do. They're going to potentially want to use whatever

(07:29):
types of strike they can be involved in, and frankly,
a stoking fear is part of the strategy. The idea
that like, well, we're going to activate the sleeper cells,
get ready for another nine to eleven. That actually is
terrifying to many Americans.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Sure, the idea that, yeah, like you're into a ballgame
or going to a you know whatever. I don't want
to say suggestions because I don't want to be able to go,
oh yeah that, but you're right now, it makes us
afraid to go out in public costibly.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yes, yes, you know, the idea that you would make
somebody scared is part of the strategy. So you know,
I'm not part of the intelligence community, and I can't
tell you exactly how many sleeper cells were monitoring in
the United States and how many plots we have you know,
foiled or are working on foiling right now. But I

(08:23):
would certainly not take to acts of terror, either in
the United States or at our interests elsewhere. I would
not take that off the table.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Let me ask you, because we're talking to Sharon McMahon,
who is basically like America's history political teacher without being partisan,
and we just love sharing because she doesn't spend things
she tells us the way they really are.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
I want to ask you.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
There are people who are saying that what Trump did
without congressional approval was illegal and is an impeachable offense.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
And other people are saying, no, we're glad that he
did it.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
He needed to do this because they could have been
very dangerous. So where do you come down on that one?
What do you know about that?

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Yeah? In fact, if people are interested in the full story,
I have a whole breakdown of it on the preamble
dot com today, But I'll give you a brief summary here.
It is true that only Congress has the power to
declare war. But it's also true that the Constitution gives
the title of Commander in Chief to the president, and
the Supreme Court has overwhelmingly said that presidents have the

(09:28):
right to conduct foreign policy, that Congress has very little
input when it comes to foreign policy. So you know,
there are other confounding factors like the War Powers Act
of nineteen seventy three that preclude a president from engaging
the United States military and long term, prolonged military conflict
like they did in Vietnam without congressional approval. That said,

(09:52):
here's the flip side. Every single president of the modern era,
including Jill Biden, including Barack Obama, including Donald Trump during
his first term, including Bill Clinton, including Ronald Reagan, they
have all engaged in military air strikes without congressional approval. Now,

(10:13):
you can like what Donald Trump did in Iran, you
can dislike it. You can say that he should not
have done it. Those are legitimate things to discuss and debate.
But it took Joe Biden one month to engage in
airstrikes without congressional approval when he was president, and I
didn't know that. Yes, people said the same thing to
Joe Biden. It's unconstitutional for you to act without congressional approval.

(10:34):
So this is not a new debate. This debate is
not new to Donald Trump. The conflict in with Iran,
that's new. But the concept of a president acting using
the military without congressional approval, that's not a new debate.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Okay, I'm so glad we had you on because I've
heard that flare up over the weekend and now I've
decided not to listen to my uncle Archie on Facebook
he is telling me about what because I really I
thought he had a lot of crowbia. Last question, and Sharon,
I appreciate your time so much. Vaunt and people that
are twenty three years old or have a twenty three
year old are concerned about, Oh my god, in the future,

(11:08):
is this going to mean Vaughant's going to be suiting
up with a United States Marine Corps and being launched
onto the beaches? So does this mean any anything for
military service for young people in terms.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Of a draft. No. The United States has a two
million member voluntary army where you voluntarily sign up. There
is no scenario that is being planned for right now
that would mean, you know, we're going to need more
than two million military members. The nature of warfare has changed.
A lot of it is done via drone. That's not

(11:41):
to say that there is no possibility of a larger conflict,
but there's really not a scenario on the immediate near
future horizon in which young people are going to be
drafted into service.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Well that's reassuring. Is that a haircut appointment later? So Sharon,
a couple of things. First of all, her newsletter is
I think it's a alethepreamble dot com. You're on Instagram,
Sharon says, So that's how we found you. And you've
got the book out which I got for Father's Day
from a guy that I'm not even his father, but
it's called The Small and the Mighty, And shout out

(12:14):
to Nate forgetting that for me. And I really like it.
So Sharon, we love you. Thanks for being on much
more reliable than my uncle Archie. I appreciate you, and
and good luck and thanks for staying in touch with us.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
My pleasure see you again, all.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Right, take care.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
If you missed it, we'll put that interview on the
on the podcast later in case you missed any of it,
really really interesting. All right, that's enough, we'll be right
back on one to one point three k d WB.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Good morning.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
We had Sharon McMahon a little while ago to talk
about the bombing in the Middle East and what could
happen from that one. Vant is reassured that he is
not going to get drafted. Although you would look cute
in uniform, I'm gonna say probably army green camouflage. You're
not smart enough to be in the Air Force because
the Air Force is a more intellectual branch as the service. Definitely,

(12:59):
you're not tough enough to be a marine, and but
you do have a sweet beard, and so you could.
I think they'd let you grow beards in the Navy.
Do you liked you liked you? Did you like the water?

Speaker 4 (13:08):
It's not my favorite water.

Speaker 5 (13:09):
Also, I have asthma, so anytime they'd just assign me
to do anything, I'd be like.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
No.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
The good news is so we learned a lot from Sharon.
So thanks to Sharon for being on the show. Vaughan
had brought something up and we were kind of laughing
about this one.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
What's it? Called the gen Z the gen Z gaze.

Speaker 4 (13:27):
Yeah, that's what they call it.

Speaker 5 (13:28):
And I didn't realize that there was a name for it,
but it was just something that I've noticed. You ever
go to Last week, Alyssa and I went to this
restaurant that I wasn't a fan of. So there was
an employee that was like standing at the counter but
I kind of not really paying attention to us or
didn't greet us. And I walked in and I was
just like, hey, can we get the table for two?
And he's like just staring at me. I'm like, why

(13:48):
did I address you before you address me? And maybe
that's the fact the former like retail employer and me
that starts saying like, hey, how you doing? But address me,
talk to me. And this is not the first time
that happened. I've gone to H and M, go to
check out and.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
The guy at the at the the.

Speaker 5 (14:05):
Counter just doesn't say anything, just stares at me. And
it's called the gen Z gaze. Apparently they don't address you,
They don't say hey, can I help you?

Speaker 4 (14:12):
None of that.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
You know what we used to talk about how and
I kind of get that a little bit, But how
when you go to like, you know, I'm not gonna
pick on anybody. Let's see, you go to fast food
and then you give them your you know, your money
and whatever and you end up saying thank you because
they don't say anything to you.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
It's so wed.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
But I've never really noticed like the gen z gaze
where you walk up and they don't say anything or
say hey, good morning, thanks for coming in.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
What can I get you?

Speaker 4 (14:35):
They just down.

Speaker 6 (14:37):
Yeah, there's a coffee shop I go to once a
week and literally every time I walk in there, they
don't even say anything. I'll be thank you because I
always order a head so like whatever, I don't have
to interact with them if I don't need to.

Speaker 7 (14:50):
But yeah, they like don't say anything to me.

Speaker 4 (14:51):
I have to make the first move.

Speaker 5 (14:54):
Like it sounds like I'm talking about dating, but literally,
if I walk into a restaurant, hey, how are you?

Speaker 4 (14:58):
Or can I help you?

Speaker 5 (15:00):
If I walk up to the counter at an H
and M find everything you're looking for, That's what I
assume you should be doing, but they don't.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
But yeah, I don't really notice.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
That when I go to the Cariboo cabin out and
chan happening and they're always like, you know, you'd like
place your order and then you go up and.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
They're like, hey, good morning, how are you. They're very
they're very friendly.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
I've not really encountered that, but I will say that,
you know, like if you go to like if you
go to a restaurant and there's like a hostess, they
sometimes act like you're annoying them, like they were in
the middle of doing something and like how many.

Speaker 5 (15:35):
Oh my gosh, that's the worst, cause they definitely do that,
like am I interrupting something?

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Sorry?

Speaker 1 (15:39):
That stop you from doing your job. I haven't seen
it a lot. I mean, you know, if you go
to Applebee's and they're like okay, you know, but sometimes
you get the how many and they grab the menus
like it's a big burden to grab the menus and
walk you to your table.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
But I don't see it a lot.

Speaker 6 (15:55):
I feel like, I'm really happy that Vonn's bringing this
up as a gen Z because me and millennial friends.
I have friends who own businesses now or like do
other work where they have to work with gen zs,
and man, we have started to talk crap about gen
z's that younger generation they don't know how to be personal.

Speaker 7 (16:11):
And it just happened this weekend.

Speaker 6 (16:15):
I was talking with my friends and we're like, yeah,
they like these people now they're on their phones all
the time.

Speaker 7 (16:20):
We never did that whatever making mining.

Speaker 5 (16:23):
I'm like the like the older part of gen Z
because I think the youngest of gen Z right now
was like fifteen, maybe maybe a little younger. I don't know,
but I noticed it with a lot of these younger
kids and sometimes people my age. I was just always
when I worked at Rita's, the Italian I spot, before
you even walked in the door, like before the door
closed behind you, how you doing, Can I help you?

Speaker 4 (16:41):
Did you see the flavors?

Speaker 5 (16:42):
Like I just that's just in my natural will to
talk to people.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
Well yeah, sure, I mean, and I don't you love
it though, when somebody greets you like you're really important,
And I think that's part of the job. It's like,
I mean, if if you work at I don't know,
like if you work at a dental dental office and
you walk in and a lot of the people that
we're going to dentist office are not really gen Z.
They're kind of more like millennial. Yeah, but you know,
you walk in, it's like Hi, I canna help you. Yeah,

(17:08):
Dave at three o'clock. Okay, great, Dave, got you can
I see your insurance card? Okay, have a seat and
they'll be right out. That makes me feel like welcome
and acknowledged. But can you imagine walking into the dentist office.
They don't look up. You finally have to say hi,
and they're like yes, they just yeah. It's part of
the job. Like greet people, it's part of the business.
You make them feel welcome.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
We got a text that has experienced this a lot,
a lot in Colorado because people seem to be very
stand office. You walk into a gas station to buy
something and you are the one to greet the person
working their scenes.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Odd, what do you think? Do you notice this?

Speaker 1 (17:39):
What is it called the millennial generality gaze where you
walk in and you don't get greeted at the at
the Starbucks or whatever, and you have to initiate the conversation.
I don't see it a lot. Maybe it's just me
let us know. We'll be back in a second with
you can't make this stuff up. A wedding prank gone wrong.
Groom attempted to do a wedding prank that was a

(18:01):
major fail and left his bride and guests stunned. What
happened I'll tell you about it next on KTWB. Also,
we're about seven minutes away from another Sabrina Carpenter key
word to fly off to Nashville to see her in concert.
Coming up next one on one point three KDWBU. If

(18:27):
you are getting married and think about doing a little
prank during the wedding, think it through carefully.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
So here's what happened.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
This guy says said, Okay, I'm gonna pull a prank
during my wedding, and so when I lift her veil
to kiss her, I'm gonna go. Why Well, it didn't
go over the way he thought it would. Apparently people
didn't laugh. The bride was hurt. It's the wrong moment

(18:54):
to tell somebody that. Yeh bo, I mean, it's a
funny bit, but it's just like, you know, I'm not
gonna fly.

Speaker 6 (19:02):
If I ever get married. Hopefully, and that's what they do.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
I want.

Speaker 7 (19:07):
I want my future husband to be bawling.

Speaker 6 (19:10):
I want him to see me and be like, she's
the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my entire life.

Speaker 7 (19:14):
Hout to God, give me this if they that is
not the reaction. I don't want it.

Speaker 5 (19:20):
I don't want it to me and Alyssa, my girlfriend,
have this convo all the time because that's exactly what
she wants. And I make the joke that, yeah, right
before you come down, I'm gonna tell whoever my best
man is to drop eye drops because I'm not a crier.
Yeah at all, I swear to you.

Speaker 4 (19:37):
I legit.

Speaker 5 (19:38):
Really only cry when it comes to Alyssa. But I
couldn't tell you before I listen the last time I
cried about anything.

Speaker 6 (19:43):
Wow, you want to have some of my tears, I
can give you some.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
So, so what happens is that the thing fails, and
I guess it kind of ruined the fun vibe of
the whole thing. And apparently people started getting drunk or
at the reception, and then people left early. And he
said he thought he did it because it was gonna
be funny, and he said, nobody thought it was funny,

(20:10):
and so just I mean, it's a funny prank kind of,
but it did not go over well.

Speaker 5 (20:16):
If I was a bride, I would have left his
ass at the altar by Felicia.

Speaker 7 (20:20):
Yeah, yeah, what do you do? In that moment. We
gotta do a Sabrina keyword.

Speaker 4 (20:24):
Oh we do, Yes, you're right, okay, Supreme Carpenter, Yeah, yep, yep.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Keyword for this hour, this time is father feather f
E A T h e R. You don't need to
spell it, you need to say it. Just open up
the iHeartRadio app, tap the red microphone button and then
say the keyword is feather and you are now in.
You're qualified for the trip to fly away to Nashville
to see Sabrina in concert. What a weekend that's gonna be.
You're gonna have a great time and see Sabrina and

(20:56):
be in a big party town and you're gonna be
in Nashville. It's all paid for fork by KTBB. Okay,
the treats and snacks and cocktails are on your own.
You drunk, I'm not gonna pay for your liquor bill.
I imagine getting you and your girlfriend's liquor bill from
you know what, first drinks on me. If you win this,
tell tell me and I'll buy your first drink for you.
Can I will venmo, I will venmo your money.

Speaker 7 (21:18):
That's a nice of you.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
What do you think it?

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Let's say you're gonna order like a Bacardi Laman and diet.
You're gonna get laman and diet. What are you gonna
pay for it? In Nashville like seventeen bucks? What do
you what do you think is gonna be.

Speaker 6 (21:30):
Probably I would say if you're going down Broadway Street,
most of those places are probably gonna be kind of pricey.
But I don't know actually, because it's also like the
country hillbilly vibes, you know, so maybe they don't charge
as much as like the North Looop in Minneapolis does.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Okay, if you go, I will buy your first drink.
Just let me know when you get there and I
will venmo you. You're seventeen fifty for you for whatever
it is for your first drink. But use that keyword.
It is feather on the iHeartRadio app to Talk Back feature.
We'll do another one coming up. This is the last
week to do it, so there is some urgency here
because you want to win this trip.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Don't let somebody else do it.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
And all right, we'll be back with Dave's Dirt coming up.
In a second, Dolly Parton teams up with an act
that you would never expect. These two would collaborate ever.
You'll hear that collaboration coming up next on You Can't
on Dave's Dirt on KDWB. It is Pride a month

(22:23):
and this Sunday, you boys gonna be hosting the Twin
City's Pride Rainbow Run. It's five k and then there's
the Kid's Rainbow Dash. It's all coming up Sunday and
tickets are you have to register for tickets.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
You can't just show.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
If it's like any five k, they get to pay
their expenses in the park, rental and all that stuff.
So you can sign up run a five k, you

Speaker 1 (23:09):
So my brother in law, Eric, Susan's brother, he lives
in Detroit, and so he's like texting. He's like, you know,
same age as me and loves video games and all
that stuff. He's like, guess who got a Nintendo Switch To?
And I'm like, oh, how did you get one? He's like,

Speaker 2 (23:41):

Speaker 1 (23:44):
So I've been wanting one. You can't get him anywhere.
So shout out to my brother in law Eric for

Speaker 4 (23:57):
So it's back here.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah, mail it to me. You gon to mail it
to me. So I'm pretty excited.

Speaker 7 (24:02):
Exciting. Is it still very hard to get them anywhere?

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Can't get him anywhere?

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (24:06):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (24:08):
Is the switch to compatible with games from Switch one?

Speaker 2 (24:11):
I believe so. Yes, that's an excellent question, young man.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
I believe it is what they call backwards compatible gotcha,
I think, I think so gotcha.

Speaker 6 (24:17):
Are you going to give your brother a little extra
cashola for doing that for you?

Speaker 2 (24:21):
No?

Speaker 3 (24:22):
What?

Speaker 2 (24:22):
No? No, because you're family.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
No, seriously, it might mail him in like a fifty
dollars Buffalo wild Wings gift card or something like that.

Speaker 6 (24:28):
Well, just that moment extra like ten twenty bucks for gas,
you know, forty minute to one way to the place.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
That's what family does for you, though, Jenny.

Speaker 7 (24:36):
No, not, my family does.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
No. Cat. I read that.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
I got a DM yesterday from Johanna and I won't
say their last name, but this is really I really
like this because I think there's a lesson here for everybody,
and it's kind of like a little motivational Monday kind
of a thing. Joanna And I don't know Johanna, but
she listens to the show. She says, Dave, I have
to say thank you. I listen to your show every morning.
A while back, right when you bought your IV you

(25:04):
IV sorry, RV, big difference, big difference, big difference, RV.
You said, if you can afford it, then do it
because we had wanted an RV for many years, and
we kept putting it off, waiting for the time to
be right, for the time to be right, for the
time to be right. And the timing is never right.

(25:24):
You're either too busy, or the kids had got something
going on, or whatever, and so you put off all
these things that you want to do in life, whether
they be something you want to buy or a trip
you want to make. And I'm here to tell you
the timing was not right for us to buy an RV,
but we said, we've been putting it off for too long.
So her lesson her story is my family. My husband

(25:44):
and I've been married almost ten years. We've got two boys,
five and two, Nash and Reht what great names. We've
always wanted a pool. So after listening to you share
your desire for an RV and the just do it mindset,
my husband and I plunged in and bought our kids
a pool this summer. Nice It's not the biggest, deepest

(26:05):
or fanciest, It's a pool the perfect size for our kids,
and we've been loving it during this hot weather. She
sent this yesterday, So thank you for sharing your life
with us. Each morning and encouraging me through the radio
to take the plunge. We've made so many memories already
and I can't imagine not having it now. And it's
not a matter of like, hey, you got a lot
of money, go spend your money. It's a matter of

(26:27):
don't put off the things until the time is perfect,
because a lot of the time, the time is never perfect.
You know, we're too busy to paint the guest room.
We're too busy to get a new dog. We're too busy,
and the timing is just the timing is almost never perfect.
So don't you don't always have to wait for the
time to be right. I mean, Vaughan could have made
a million excuses not to foster ave of the dog. Yep,

(26:50):
you're busy, you got work, you live in an apartment,
you got stuff going on. Alyssa works all the time,
and you're busy, and you could have made a million
excuses not to do it, but you did it and
it's working out fine.

Speaker 4 (27:02):
It's so good.

Speaker 5 (27:03):
She's so good And I don't regret it at all
because it's teaching us. I realize, like how will be
is like future parents and having responsibility and I didn't
want to wait until then, So I'm glad that we
did that.

Speaker 4 (27:14):
Johannah.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yeah, and we gotta get together. We gotta get the
dogs together. We're all going over into Jenny's house because
Jenny's got like dogs all.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Over the house.

Speaker 6 (27:21):
You're not any at the moment, but yes, you're welcome
to come over.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
We're gonna bring Bernie over, We're gonna bring Beva over.
We're gonna have a big dog backyard barbecue.

Speaker 7 (27:29):
Yes, okay, Well, I mean someone's got to bring a grill.

Speaker 4 (27:32):
I'll mag and cheese. Okay, some great maga cheese this weekend.

Speaker 6 (27:35):
Let's just have some orthing instead of nobody wants to
have to be over the grill.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
You know, yeah, you're probably right anyway, Joanna, thanks for
messaging me that that meant a lot. I'm glad that
we could help you make your mind up to get
that pool. Let's do the dirt on KD double ub,
keeping our finger on the pulse of Tinseltown.

Speaker 4 (27:57):
Dave's Dirt on KD WB.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
So, Dolly Parton collaborates with Motley Crue on a classic
song from forty years ago called Home Sweet Home. Check
this out. Here's Dolly and Vince Neil on lead vocal.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Here we Go.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
You know, I knew Dolly would sound great, but I
was surprised that Vince Neil. I don't really follow Motley Crue,
but that Vince Neil can still hit that and sounds
so good it almost makes me think that that's an
original recording from nineteen eighty six and not him currently singing.
But I don't know Harmony was actually Ben.

Speaker 6 (28:53):
I would assume they'd got into the studio together to
do that button Maybe I.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
Don't know, maybe not. What do you got, Jenny?

Speaker 6 (28:58):
I have the color that you should be wearing to
make you feel less anxious, and that color is green,
because apparently, according to a color psychology expert, that color
mixes red, yellow, and blue. So those colors altogether are
kind of like your warmth and calm, sadness. They mean
different things whatever, but them all mixed together gives you green,

(29:21):
which means makes feel less anxious. So wear more green
to feel less anxious, less stressed.

Speaker 7 (29:28):
All of that.

Speaker 6 (29:28):
You can also go to Holiday station stores to feel
less stressed about money, because they have an awesome five
dollars meal deal where you get a breakfast sandwich, hash
brown and either a coffee fountain drink and energy drink.
All that just for five dollars, And that will make
you less stressed because you don't have to worry about
what you're having for breakfast and you're getting a great deal.

Speaker 5 (29:48):
Man, My anxiety is reduced just hearing you talk about it, genuine.

Speaker 7 (29:51):
That's what I'm here for.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
I love it.

Speaker 5 (29:54):
A Leo is a Disney movie and I've seen I
only saw the trailer like once for it.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
But it's the biggest flop. They're saying Disney.

Speaker 5 (30:00):
Picks history, making twenty one million dollars in its opening
weekend when it needed three hundred million to break even
because the budget was one fifty plus I guess another
one fifty for marketing.

Speaker 4 (30:11):
They said it did terrible.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Gosh, how do did it just come out this weekend?

Speaker 4 (30:15):
I think the weekend before the two weeks ago?

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (30:18):
Man, how do movies recover from that? And then like,
who's not getting paid?

Speaker 6 (30:22):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (30:22):
No, it was this past weekend. Yeah, I don't know.
I have no clue who's not getting paid. But it's
funny because it seems like they spent one hundred and
fifty million on marketing, but a lot of people didn't
know about it.

Speaker 6 (30:33):
I mean, we've talked about it a couple times, but
I kept having to ask Bailey, like, what is this
and she would explain it because I had not a
clue what it's about.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
Yeah, still don't remember.

Speaker 5 (30:42):
I only know because we we went to go see
Lilou and Stitch, so that trailer played, but so bad.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Also wonder why it was so bad. It just people
didn't weren't were not into it for whatever reason.

Speaker 5 (30:51):
There was a rumors that there's a Sobrinna Carpenter Taylor
Swift collab on the way, but the reasons why people
think are interesting. Apparently, the fonts use for Sabrina Carpenter's
album announcement and Taylor Swift's merch collection are very similar. Apparently,
there are wine stains on Sabrina Carpenter's announcement, similar to
the coffee stains that Taylor Swift's announcement had, which she

(31:12):
brought back all her old masters, and this one's the
biggest stretch of all, but could be. There are twelve
tracks on Sabrina Carpenter's upcoming album, Man's Best Friend, and
Taylor Swift's next album will be her twelfth.

Speaker 4 (31:24):
That is the biggest.

Speaker 5 (31:25):
Like, man, I have nothing else to do, so let
me try to draw conclusions.

Speaker 7 (31:29):
Both think that that means anything.

Speaker 6 (31:30):
I think twelve tracks on an album makes a lot
of sense and it.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Does kind of an average number.

Speaker 7 (31:36):
Yeah, like that just feels like they're right about you.

Speaker 5 (31:38):
Know, But we shall see because Sabrina Carpenter's album drops
August twenty ninth, so we'll.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
See, okay.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
The Oklahoma City Thunder won their first NBA title since
relocating from Seattle seventeen years ago. Here's a clip of
the final seconds of the game.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
But Thunder, I've.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
Taken the NBA by storm for the first time.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
The NBA champion resides and ophole of the City the
story book series of its complete.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
It was kind of cool.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
I'm not a basketball fan really at all, but it
was kind of cool to see two teams that had
never won the championship and two Middle America teams like
Indiana and Oklahoma. Seriously, so it's not like the Knicks
and the Lakers or you know, some of the big
big name the Heat or whatever.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
So that was kind of cool.

Speaker 6 (32:26):
So dirat Jojo Siwa, there's been lots of talks about
her relationship with Chris Hughes that she they there'd been
rumors for a little while, but they did publicly come
out and start sharing things together. But she responds to
the backlash about her relationship.

Speaker 8 (32:40):
Thing is is love is a beautiful rainbow, and I
think that the LGBTQI A community needs to remember that
love is love. And I think the hate from within
the community is something that I've learned a lot from.

Speaker 6 (32:56):
So I think she's getting backlash because I mean, she
was dating girls for a little while and then I
think she came out and was like, no, actually I'm
into men, and so I.

Speaker 7 (33:03):
Think that's what she decided she's more into. I don't
know if she's still into girls too.

Speaker 5 (33:07):
She keeps and I say this just of of what
I'm reading, and she keeps going back and forth, like
even this weekend. I think she canceled an LGBTQ Pride
gig she was supposed to do after claiming she felt
pressure to identify as lesbian. So I think that's a
part of the reason she's catching a lot of flak.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Okay, so Madonna apparently went to go see Hamilton and
Anthony Ramos was on Watch What Happens Live and he
was talking about the celebrity that he spotted in the
audience that was like, oh my god, they're here, and
it was Madonna. Here is his story about seeing Madonna
in the audience.

Speaker 5 (33:42):
The most terrifying was Madonna with iPad in her face.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Oh wow, she's like this.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
The whole time.

Speaker 5 (33:49):
I was like, Jeordie, I'm like, if you're not enjoying
it that much, Joe, you know the doors right there,
you ain't gotta stay here. What she had.

Speaker 6 (33:55):
Her iPad while she was watching Hamilton. Don't they have
very strict rules that you can't have your phones out
in Broadway show?

Speaker 2 (34:03):
For you? For me, well, yeah, for Madonna, she could.

Speaker 7 (34:06):
Do whatever she Oh my gosh, how rude, Like.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Well, you got to figure Madonna didn't come in through
the front entrance and wait in line and wait at
the bar for a drink like everybody else when you
go to a show. Madonna probably had some many like
black suv pull up in the backstage area and came out.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
You know, so it's Madonna. They didn't take her iPad away.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
But yeah, also, Madonna lost touch with reality in about
nineteen ninety eight.

Speaker 7 (34:30):
I would have said nine.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
Yeah, when did Madonna lose touch with reality? She's also
the one who does it, starts her shows two hours late.
Didn't somebody sue her for starting her show two hours late?

Speaker 7 (34:41):
I think they were.

Speaker 6 (34:42):
I think they've been trying to Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Right exactly.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
And that is Dirt brought to you by six one
two Injured Heimer and Lammer's injury Law coming up now.
We only had her on about an hour ago. Sharon
McMahon from Sharon says, So she is basically America's history
and a politics teacher, but she's also not biased one
way or another. So she tells you what the facts are,

(35:06):
not what you're gonna hear on this page or this
network or whatever.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
And it's really interesting.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
We're talking to Sharon about something that was definitely the
biggest story of the weekend and probably one of the
biggest stories of the year, and that is President Trump
deciding to bomb the nuclear facilities in Iran. And so
we wanted to find out what to what our concerns,
What is good, what is bad? Why did we do this,

(35:31):
what are the consequences, what will happen now? Will there
be a draft now? Will we will there be an
escalation whatever. So we're gonna talk to Sharon, and I'll
be honest with you, it's a replay because she is
so good and a lot of people, if you weren't
listening last hour, she was so interesting and so many
people appreciated what she had to share that we said, well,
let's play it again. So when we come back, we'll

(35:53):
have the keyword for Sabrina Carpenter. We'll do that right away,
and then we'll have Sharon McMahon to talk about that.
And you're going, well, you got don't do politics. Trust me,
it's not politics, it's news, and we don't usually do
news either, but when it's so big, we'd love to
have somebody get on who can explain it in terms
that I can understand and you can understand, instead of like,
you know whatever. We'll do that next on katiewb
