we do something right off the top before we.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Forget Okay, and me ask you about ice balls? Ice balls,
I'll ask you in a minute. Yeah, okay. No.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
On On a personal note, and we said this during
a show earlier this week, but we want to put
it out there again. We want to say best of
luck to Kelly and Class Meteorologistic Channel two.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I know man our girl, Kelly, and she has been
doing our weather here on j r R for a while.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
She's been down for five years.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
She didn't start doing ours until I think warmed into
it with us. But yeah, good girl. Just a really cool,
really cool individual. Seems cool. Her last day is Friday.
She is leaving of her own uh velicious. She's moving
her She got married about a year ago. Her husband's
(01:04):
a military guy. He's got a new assignment in Texas.
So they're up and moving to Texas. Hey, go for it.
You're a young couple. You have your whole lives ahead
of you and thank you to him for serving our country.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
And she's uh, she's pretty uh good weather forecaster.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
You know, we all have our preferences as to who
you you know, you gravitate towards. But she she does
a solid job and is always taking really good care
of us here at j R R.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah, so, without of doubt, even during the hurricanes. I
remember one time we had no names or anything, but
we had a different station doing the weather and the
hurricanes started getting bad and they just cut bait with us. Yeah,
we were getting live feeds and all of a sudden,
the meteorol just just stopped and didn't call us. Right, Hey,
you're supposed to be keeping us up today with but
(01:51):
no Kelly and she came through. Yep.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
So hey, best of luck to you and your husband
with the next chapter in your life.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, that's awesome. And you mentioned this earlier in the week.
It she there's obviously some TV stations around there and
somebody would scoop her up in a minute.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I forget what exact town she said they're going to.
It's it's a pretty small town still, so you would
think this would be a big market compared to whatever
that's small.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Since she was driving from Felusha into you know, into here.
So all right, well, missy, all right in our eyes,
in our books, you rock.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
All right, hey, as long as we're on local stuff here.
And I know this is a touchy subject. How long
is this roller coaster story going to go on? For? Man?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Well, now you got Crump involved, and god knows why Crump's.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Involved, But Benjamin Crump, the attorney, the attorney, yeah, who
attaches himself to anything controversial or even potentially controversial or
high profile our opinion, our opinion, Oh yeah, totally.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, I look at it. And tomorrow they're having the funeral.
I feel horrible for the family that they lost somebody.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
But let's let's review real quick in case you're not
up to speed or you're out of stadium, you're not
aware of this. Recently a new theme park opened here
in Orlando. It's another part of a universal called Epic
Universe that you know, great park, Yeah, it's awesome. And
there's a ride there called Stardust Racers. It's a roller
coaster and uh, a park patron rode the ride and
(03:30):
died shortly after riding the ride. So, you know, an
investigation ensues, was there any kind of mechanical failure or
what went wrong or whatever? And so the autopsy this
is where it really, this is where things started to
get murky. The medical examiner determined that the cause of
(03:51):
death was blunt trauma. Blunt trauma, So, you know, how
does that happen? You know, they go to great extremes
to have safety procedures in place, and.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Especially after stuff that's happened in this town right in
the past. I'm not tying them to that, I'm saying
other places.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Right And then comes the news that the guy who
is deceased was wheelchair bound with a spinal injury.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Previously, he was already wheelchair bout. His pat said, but
that spinal injury was a previous injury. What in the hell?
I'm sorry, And I said, I feel so bad for
that family. The sister celebrated her birthday with him because
they were two days apart, and she said birthdays, and
everybody saying, I get that I've lost family members, But
(04:39):
what are you going on a ride for if you
have a spinal injury?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
And we're asking, because that's that seems to be the
question most folks have, and I don't know that it's
been really answered, and here we are, here comes Benjamin
Crump and family's demanding this or demanding that, and we're like, wait,
hold on a second, universal just you know, they did
their whole investigation and concluded the ride was operating properly.
(05:07):
They've kept the thing shut down, but it was. There
was no malfunction of anything that we know of at
this point, and something clearly happened. So then you find
out about this spinal cord injury and your mind starts
seeing what was the degree of his condition? Did it
prevent him from you know, maneuvering with the ride as
(05:29):
it goes, And.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
We rarely can't spake it, but I'm just saying, not
even getting to that point, why are you going on
that ride? Period? But I don't mean to seem like heartless,
but did you see now they're doing a funeral for
him tomorrow and it's from ten thirty. I don't quote
me on the time, but I believe it's ten thirty
to two thirty open to the public. What because we've
(05:55):
seen him on TV all this time.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
And there's a gofund me and all this stuff, and
I don't know if this.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Is just a.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
It's a weird story. It's weird, man.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah. So anyway, we're just glad that you said that
because I keep looking up and I've said to Pat,
I look up when I say looking up, because the
TV is to my right, and I'll look up there
and think, wait, now, it's an open, open funeral, open
to the public.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
It's being publicized on the TV stations.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Who wants to? I mean, who knows. If you know him,
you would be.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
You're gonna go, You're gonna go?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Are I gonna go? Because I've been watching this.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
News story and what.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Is the news story? Why is it? It's tiring. So yeah,
at the end of the day, it sucks he lost
his life. Yeah, it's horrible.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
No, we don't want to. But you I think you
hit the nail on the head Taco with the if
put yourself in that spot where Okay, you've got some
sort of uh situation where you're in a wheelchair and
you've got a spinal injury, and that's great, go and
do and experience all the things that you constantly could.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Obviously, yes, he loved all the theme parks. He's been
to all the theme.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Parks, which is great. But every single ride gives you
a warnings. You know, if you have this, this or
that or whatever, you may may want to consider not riding.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And I know anyway, we'll see any I'm glad that
we're going into a weekend. I know what I'm saying,
because hopefully by then Crump will get off the you know,
the no no no, the box no.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
No not when when when? Once he latches on, man
that you're in it for the long haul. Okay, in
it for the long halt. Move away from this ma
in a weekend. So you're in the big golf tournaments
again this weekend?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Huh Yeah? Yeah. Mel Taylor does her charity golf tournament
every year, and this I believe is the fourteenth or
fifteenth out of champions Gate. Yeah, and it's a good time.
The Friday night there's there's a party that is usually
a theme. This year's theme is a pirate. I don't
really think I'm dressing as a pirate. I mean, well,
(08:02):
I can't google a pirate. I caet Amazon it by
that quick, right sure. But now my wife's getting there
a little bit later than when I'm there, so I'm like,
I know, I heard I have to go there and
dress up as a pirate.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Everybody get faced at this party.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
No, not really, it's it's like it's a charity auction.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Okay, yeah, so it's it's really cool.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
You can when last year I won, Oh my god,
last year I won something you would have salivated over.
A Sonny's gift.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I remember that.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah, yeah, five free Sonnies meals, uh, barbecue sauce in there,
a whole bunch of good stuff. A Sonny's had a
little pig can squeeze. I think that's on my desk,
still a little Sonny's pig. But yeah, So the Friday
night's a big party, you know, nice dinner, drinks and uh.
And then you know, they usually have some games that
(08:53):
I end up spending money on because it's charity and
I losing poker, you know, normal losing money in poker.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Let me read this. What is this comment?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
What are you talking about while he's doing that?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
So, yeah, oh, somebody's hitting us asking about the on
you say it? We play it that we do on
the morning show each day.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, we feature an artist and you tell us which
song you want to hear from them.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
There's these folks who are trying to fish for your information.
That jump in there all the time and try to
fish for your information, and they're like, there's a comment
under everybody who voted that this, this or that. It's like,
we just want to clarify, we probably should say this
more often for that feature. The winner is picked by us,
and the winner is contacted directly by us.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
You'll get it. You'll get a direct message from me,
and I'll tell you verbatim what it says. Congrats, insert name.
You're the winner of today's blank, whatever the prize is.
Please email me your name, address, phone number, data, birth
to Taco Bob at w j R R dot com.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
No no other link or email or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
So it's people fishing for your for basically your credit
card inform.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
You see this all the time. We don't ask please
ignore that stuff. If you are the winner, you will
be contacted directly.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
We do not ask you for any credit card info. No,
all right, what the hell.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Were we just talking about your golf tournament with mel?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
So then uh, then Saturday morning, everybody, it's a shotgun start.
They have the helicopter drops balls.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
You know, what does shotguns start mean?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
They go out there with a shotgun they go and
then every big races out on the go. I'm kidding, No,
it's just like a shotgun start, kind of like I
don't know what that. I don't know why they named
it that, but it could be because you know when
you shoot a shotgun, how the shell is full filled
with little pelletts.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Scatter, scatter, because everybody starts on a different hole exactly scatter.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I just made that up, but I think it was
a logical guess on my part. I think that's right. Wow, man,
I can pray ship down pretty pretty dope you are.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I mean, it's incredible sometimes the I sometimes I just
I just do. I know many of you just kick
back in the awe, you know in admiration.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Shotgun Star, you're a lot like this.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
This guy I know from southern California donates his time
on on Wednesdays.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Shotgun Start a tournament format where all players begin their
rounds at the same time from different assigned holes on
the course. Rather than starting in the first tea with
staggered times. This system creates a simultaneous synchronized start at
the event. Yeah, it's gotta be like a does that
screw it?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Because we're prohibited from doing golf tournaments anymore for me
and you for our show. But does that when you
do those kind of starts, how long does it take
before the thing bottle necks up? Because you got some
hackers out there? Who are and what's what's the re
for that?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Oh? You just you just sit there and drink more beer.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
And then it gets done. When it gets done.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yeah, yeah, Well they have rules like, hey, don't I
don't want to bore people with all this, but if.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
You if you if you're on a par five and
you're you're on your tenth shot to these go okay, many.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I'm trying to tell you you it's a it's a
max of one or two over par for the whole.
If you're if it's a par five and you're at
a seven, pick your ball up and walk.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
So what do you mark down as a score there?
Then you mark down your seven. So that's acceptable then
even though you never actually put it in the hole.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yeah you didn't. Part you know. There's so much to this,
but honestly, and what the format is everybody it's best ball.
Basically I fire off a shot, somebody else fires off
a shot, and we use the one that's the best. Okay,
we all put our balls with with the best ball
(12:55):
and then together. Yeah, so that and that speeds things.
Yeah so yeah, their sponsors running all the holes, you know,
like different beers, booze, you know, weed pens or whatever.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I find it ironic that that's going on at the
same time as the Ryder Cup.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I just realized that while we were talking about him,
thinking do they do this every year during the Ryder Cup?
And I don't think so. But anyway, so then then
after golf Saturday, they have a good, good dinner, you know,
late lunch dinner, and then and maybe the auctions that
I don't even know, dude, and I think there's an auction.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Then it gets a little hazy at that point.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Yeah, you And then and then people will go out
that Saturday night on the you know, wherever, on their own,
if they go and do magical dining somewhere you know,
or this or that. I usually last time I ubered
up to the Alehouse.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
How is golf doing in general these days? I mean,
for a while there there were courses closing down left
and right. Not as many people were playing, and.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
People were playing golf.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
They are okay, I just ask him. No.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
No, I'm just saying because I'm my way home each day,
I drive by the winter Park nine whole course and
there's always people out there playing.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
And before anyone asked my opinion, before anyone asks why
I don't play golf, come.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
On, he's not patient enough.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
It's it's my it's one of my worst flaws. It's
a glaring insufficiency inside me as a human being. And
you worked on it, You've been working on it. I
do actively work on it. But a sport like golf
would never gel with me because short fuse doesn't even
begin to I have no fuse. It just sometimes it'll
(14:37):
just blow up. Ye, And I can't be doing that
on a golf course.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
No, no, So I mean I think even the Lord
looked down and made sure he wasn't going to be
a golfer. When I'm not putting this on the Lord,
but when you got on a golf cart and uh,
it was a monster golf cart, like a monster Baby
trucks from Chucks Trucks, and he snapped the axle. Yeah,
(15:02):
And so I think that meant you're just not supposed
to be on a golf course. Those tournaments were something
to talk about.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
That was a shifting flaw error on my part that
costs I don't even want to get into how much
that ended up costing thousands.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
But uh, those golf tournaments that we did, now, that
was some craziness.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, past tense, Yeah it was.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
It was. Yeah, but we had we had a listener
flip a golf cart in lake. Yeah, we had remember
the awards ceremony where they're doing the awards ceremony and whatever,
and listener in the banquet room just chows blows chow. Sorry,
and that's pretty gross. Blows chow and everybody's like, oh shit, dude,
(15:50):
go outside, and.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
More people started feeling sick because they want and then
the court, the next thing, you know, it's a Monty
Python situation of course, came up.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
To us and said sorry, you guys can ever come back.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
And and it all kind of devolved from there and
that was that for the hackers. Open as we called it.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
When it first started, it was the best ever. Remember
we had full on sponsors. We have a Cadillac, like
big ass sponsors, like a real golf turn moved out again.
And then our sales staff past ten that went away.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Well they were afraid to sell sell it.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
No, remember the ones that cared about us were done
by then had moved on. So anyway, yeah, that's all
little behind the scenes. Oh ice balls. At the beginning,
I was going to say, it's very random, like a
lot of things in my life. Last night I realized
that with both the daughters gone, we have those bourbon
balls that our freezer makes, the big circular bourbon ball
(16:47):
ice cubes.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Really right, so fancy ice the kids.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I only bought it because it was a new fridge
and all my stuff was about to die in the
other one.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Doesn't have different types of settings you could. They're all
like that.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
It gives you regular ice, crushed ice, or separate apartment
makes balls, whiskey.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Balls, yeah, so cool.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
It sends them down to a separate trough. And with
the girls being gone, they were the ones that primarily
used them. So I looked at the big ball holder
last night and it was overflowing. I'm not trying to
throw out all these punts, but it's overflowing. And when
it does, it goes in the back of the fridge,
and then that you've got to take out the freezer box,
which is impossible. So I put some in a gallon
(17:34):
plastic bag on like ten of them, and I thought,
you know, I spring lenture these ice balls because he's
a whiskey guy. I know you have ice square.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Can we back up a minute, though, I have ice
balls as well. Did Were your daughters getting into whiskey?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
They just have the big tumblers. Listen, you can still
hear the remainder of ice balls from two days ago.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Oh so now they just like those for whatever they
were drinking, kicking whiskey and bourbon. You getting prime that
pump early man.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
No, because they you know, like they're they're at school
all day with their tumbler or whatever the hell you
call them. So they those worked out great? You good
stuff them all in? So you have trays that make
them though you?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Right, yeah, But I mean, if I have extra balls,
wouldn't you like them?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
It's not like I need a lot of them because
I'm just saying, wait, if you want to bring him in, sure,
but it's like they're gonna somewhat melt before you get
them here. Then they're gonna melt even more when and
then I'm gonna have melting ice balls.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Well, I'm not gonna bring you a whole See we
talk about dumb shit on this podcast. I'm not gonna
bring you a whole the whole tray of them. But
I'm saying I could bring you like fifteen of them.
Fifteen is better than nothing.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I appreciate the offer.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I don't know. I'll keep freeze them because when the
hurricane hits, the big one down the road.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
No, I get it, but I have adequate between the
big frozen cube ones in the ice. We got more
than enough, and you give me. I'm not having any
place to put your ice balls from your custom fridge,
but thank you for the offer.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Thinking about it, no problem. I just looked at him.
I thought, well, but then my wife chimed in and
she said, I use those. I said, yeah, but we
gotta use more.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Start drinking more.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
They're overflowing. No, she's just using for water and stuff too.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
The uh, you can't turn that off. You can't.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Just why would I. It's ice for when it's when
I'm going to Club Drews to watch football. Those things
last forever.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
But he said, it makes three different types of ice. Yeah,
but I.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Could just use those big ones. Throw those in.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
With some of the cube dice, Bob, take all those
that you have and pack them the cooler that I
know you're gonna take to your golf tournament and put
in your hotel room.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Ice Ball's gone.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, all right. Brian at the Facebook Live d M.
Don't understand why he's on the ride either, Fellas. Yeah,
oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Back to the start racers, Ralph, what is this?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Taco? Bob is just so useless. He has no insight
of his own. Hey, bullshit, Ralph, I just figured out
a shotgun start on my own. What have you done
today besides it? Besides toking the bear may being the bear?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
What? Ralph?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
What? What do you?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Could you be more specific as to it's really I mean,
we take plenty of incoming where you know it's no problem.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah, Tiffany said, thank you so much for clarifying.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, Tiffany, just ignore that ship. If you are picked
as the random winner, you'll get a direct communication from talking.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
It is the most obvious thing if you're picked, and
we need to remind people that on the air tomorrow.
I know that a lot of times you'll say I
just wasted airtime, but it happens so much now. I
know it sucks, all right, we'll figure it out one.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Forget Okay, and me ask you about ice balls? Ice balls,
I'll ask you in a minute. Yeah, okay. No.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
On On a personal note, and we said this during
a show earlier this week, but we want to put
it out there again. We want to say best of
luck to Kelly and Class Meteorologistic Channel two.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I know man our girl, Kelly, and she has been
doing our weather here on j r R for a while.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
She's been down for five years.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
She didn't start doing ours until I think warmed into
it with us. But yeah, good girl. Just a really cool,
really cool individual. Seems cool. Her last day is Friday.
She is leaving of her own uh velicious. She's moving
her She got married about a year ago. Her husband's
(01:04):
a military guy. He's got a new assignment in Texas.
So they're up and moving to Texas. Hey, go for it.
You're a young couple. You have your whole lives ahead
of you and thank you to him for serving our country.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
And she's uh, she's pretty uh good weather forecaster.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
You know, we all have our preferences as to who
you you know, you gravitate towards. But she she does
a solid job and is always taking really good care
of us here at j R R.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah, so, without of doubt, even during the hurricanes. I
remember one time we had no names or anything, but
we had a different station doing the weather and the
hurricanes started getting bad and they just cut bait with us. Yeah,
we were getting live feeds and all of a sudden,
the meteorol just just stopped and didn't call us. Right, Hey,
you're supposed to be keeping us up today with but
(01:51):
no Kelly and she came through. Yep.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
So hey, best of luck to you and your husband
with the next chapter in your life.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, that's awesome. And you mentioned this earlier in the week.
It she there's obviously some TV stations around there and
somebody would scoop her up in a minute.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I forget what exact town she said they're going to.
It's it's a pretty small town still, so you would
think this would be a big market compared to whatever
that's small.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Since she was driving from Felusha into you know, into here.
So all right, well, missy, all right in our eyes,
in our books, you rock.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
All right, hey, as long as we're on local stuff here.
And I know this is a touchy subject. How long
is this roller coaster story going to go on? For? Man?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Well, now you got Crump involved, and god knows why Crump's.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Involved, But Benjamin Crump, the attorney, the attorney, yeah, who
attaches himself to anything controversial or even potentially controversial or
high profile our opinion, our opinion, Oh yeah, totally.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, I look at it. And tomorrow they're having the funeral.
I feel horrible for the family that they lost somebody.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
But let's let's review real quick in case you're not
up to speed or you're out of stadium, you're not
aware of this. Recently a new theme park opened here
in Orlando. It's another part of a universal called Epic
Universe that you know, great park, Yeah, it's awesome. And
there's a ride there called Stardust Racers. It's a roller
coaster and uh, a park patron rode the ride and
(03:30):
died shortly after riding the ride. So, you know, an
investigation ensues, was there any kind of mechanical failure or
what went wrong or whatever? And so the autopsy this
is where it really, this is where things started to
get murky. The medical examiner determined that the cause of
(03:51):
death was blunt trauma. Blunt trauma, So, you know, how
does that happen? You know, they go to great extremes
to have safety procedures in place, and.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Especially after stuff that's happened in this town right in
the past. I'm not tying them to that, I'm saying
other places.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Right And then comes the news that the guy who
is deceased was wheelchair bound with a spinal injury.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Previously, he was already wheelchair bout. His pat said, but
that spinal injury was a previous injury. What in the hell?
I'm sorry, And I said, I feel so bad for
that family. The sister celebrated her birthday with him because
they were two days apart, and she said birthdays, and
everybody saying, I get that I've lost family members, But
(04:39):
what are you going on a ride for if you
have a spinal injury?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
And we're asking, because that's that seems to be the
question most folks have, and I don't know that it's
been really answered, and here we are, here comes Benjamin
Crump and family's demanding this or demanding that, and we're like, wait,
hold on a second, universal just you know, they did
their whole investigation and concluded the ride was operating properly.
(05:07):
They've kept the thing shut down, but it was. There
was no malfunction of anything that we know of at
this point, and something clearly happened. So then you find
out about this spinal cord injury and your mind starts
seeing what was the degree of his condition? Did it
prevent him from you know, maneuvering with the ride as
(05:29):
it goes, And.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
We rarely can't spake it, but I'm just saying, not
even getting to that point, why are you going on
that ride? Period? But I don't mean to seem like heartless,
but did you see now they're doing a funeral for
him tomorrow and it's from ten thirty. I don't quote
me on the time, but I believe it's ten thirty
to two thirty open to the public. What because we've
(05:55):
seen him on TV all this time.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
And there's a gofund me and all this stuff, and
I don't know if this.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Is just a.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
It's a weird story. It's weird, man.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah. So anyway, we're just glad that you said that
because I keep looking up and I've said to Pat,
I look up when I say looking up, because the
TV is to my right, and I'll look up there
and think, wait, now, it's an open, open funeral, open
to the public.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
It's being publicized on the TV stations.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Who wants to? I mean, who knows. If you know him,
you would be.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
You're gonna go, You're gonna go?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Are I gonna go? Because I've been watching this.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
News story and what.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Is the news story? Why is it? It's tiring. So yeah,
at the end of the day, it sucks he lost
his life. Yeah, it's horrible.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
No, we don't want to. But you I think you
hit the nail on the head Taco with the if
put yourself in that spot where Okay, you've got some
sort of uh situation where you're in a wheelchair and
you've got a spinal injury, and that's great, go and
do and experience all the things that you constantly could.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Obviously, yes, he loved all the theme parks. He's been
to all the theme.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Parks, which is great. But every single ride gives you
a warnings. You know, if you have this, this or
that or whatever, you may may want to consider not riding.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And I know anyway, we'll see any I'm glad that
we're going into a weekend. I know what I'm saying,
because hopefully by then Crump will get off the you know,
the no no no, the box no.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
No not when when when? Once he latches on, man
that you're in it for the long haul. Okay, in
it for the long halt. Move away from this ma
in a weekend. So you're in the big golf tournaments
again this weekend?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Huh Yeah? Yeah. Mel Taylor does her charity golf tournament
every year, and this I believe is the fourteenth or
fifteenth out of champions Gate. Yeah, and it's a good time.
The Friday night there's there's a party that is usually
a theme. This year's theme is a pirate. I don't
really think I'm dressing as a pirate. I mean, well,
(08:02):
I can't google a pirate. I caet Amazon it by
that quick, right sure. But now my wife's getting there
a little bit later than when I'm there, so I'm like,
I know, I heard I have to go there and
dress up as a pirate.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Everybody get faced at this party.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
No, not really, it's it's like it's a charity auction.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Okay, yeah, so it's it's really cool.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
You can when last year I won, Oh my god,
last year I won something you would have salivated over.
A Sonny's gift.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I remember that.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah, yeah, five free Sonnies meals, uh, barbecue sauce in there,
a whole bunch of good stuff. A Sonny's had a
little pig can squeeze. I think that's on my desk,
still a little Sonny's pig. But yeah, So the Friday
night's a big party, you know, nice dinner, drinks and uh.
And then you know, they usually have some games that
(08:53):
I end up spending money on because it's charity and
I losing poker, you know, normal losing money in poker.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Let me read this. What is this comment?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
What are you talking about while he's doing that?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
So, yeah, oh, somebody's hitting us asking about the on
you say it? We play it that we do on
the morning show each day.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, we feature an artist and you tell us which
song you want to hear from them.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
There's these folks who are trying to fish for your information.
That jump in there all the time and try to
fish for your information, and they're like, there's a comment
under everybody who voted that this, this or that. It's like,
we just want to clarify, we probably should say this
more often for that feature. The winner is picked by us,
and the winner is contacted directly by us.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
You'll get it. You'll get a direct message from me,
and I'll tell you verbatim what it says. Congrats, insert name.
You're the winner of today's blank, whatever the prize is.
Please email me your name, address, phone number, data, birth
to Taco Bob at w j R R dot com.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
No no other link or email or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
So it's people fishing for your for basically your credit
card inform.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
You see this all the time. We don't ask please
ignore that stuff. If you are the winner, you will
be contacted directly.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
We do not ask you for any credit card info. No,
all right, what the hell.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Were we just talking about your golf tournament with mel?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
So then uh, then Saturday morning, everybody, it's a shotgun start.
They have the helicopter drops balls.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
You know, what does shotguns start mean?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
They go out there with a shotgun they go and
then every big races out on the go. I'm kidding, No,
it's just like a shotgun start, kind of like I
don't know what that. I don't know why they named
it that, but it could be because you know when
you shoot a shotgun, how the shell is full filled
with little pelletts.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Scatter, scatter, because everybody starts on a different hole exactly scatter.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I just made that up, but I think it was
a logical guess on my part. I think that's right. Wow, man,
I can pray ship down pretty pretty dope you are.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I mean, it's incredible sometimes the I sometimes I just
I just do. I know many of you just kick
back in the awe, you know in admiration.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Shotgun Star, you're a lot like this.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
This guy I know from southern California donates his time
on on Wednesdays.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Shotgun Start a tournament format where all players begin their
rounds at the same time from different assigned holes on
the course. Rather than starting in the first tea with
staggered times. This system creates a simultaneous synchronized start at
the event. Yeah, it's gotta be like a does that
screw it?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Because we're prohibited from doing golf tournaments anymore for me
and you for our show. But does that when you
do those kind of starts, how long does it take
before the thing bottle necks up? Because you got some
hackers out there? Who are and what's what's the re
for that?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Oh? You just you just sit there and drink more beer.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
And then it gets done. When it gets done.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yeah, yeah, Well they have rules like, hey, don't I
don't want to bore people with all this, but if.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
You if you if you're on a par five and
you're you're on your tenth shot to these go okay, many.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I'm trying to tell you you it's a it's a
max of one or two over par for the whole.
If you're if it's a par five and you're at
a seven, pick your ball up and walk.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
So what do you mark down as a score there?
Then you mark down your seven. So that's acceptable then
even though you never actually put it in the hole.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yeah you didn't. Part you know. There's so much to this,
but honestly, and what the format is everybody it's best ball.
Basically I fire off a shot, somebody else fires off
a shot, and we use the one that's the best. Okay,
we all put our balls with with the best ball
(12:55):
and then together. Yeah, so that and that speeds things.
Yeah so yeah, their sponsors running all the holes, you know,
like different beers, booze, you know, weed pens or whatever.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I find it ironic that that's going on at the
same time as the Ryder Cup.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I just realized that while we were talking about him,
thinking do they do this every year during the Ryder Cup?
And I don't think so. But anyway, so then then
after golf Saturday, they have a good, good dinner, you know,
late lunch dinner, and then and maybe the auctions that
I don't even know, dude, and I think there's an auction.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Then it gets a little hazy at that point.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Yeah, you And then and then people will go out
that Saturday night on the you know, wherever, on their own,
if they go and do magical dining somewhere you know,
or this or that. I usually last time I ubered
up to the Alehouse.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
How is golf doing in general these days? I mean,
for a while there there were courses closing down left
and right. Not as many people were playing, and.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
People were playing golf.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
They are okay, I just ask him. No.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
No, I'm just saying because I'm my way home each day,
I drive by the winter Park nine whole course and
there's always people out there playing.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
And before anyone asked my opinion, before anyone asks why
I don't play golf, come.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
On, he's not patient enough.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
It's it's my it's one of my worst flaws. It's
a glaring insufficiency inside me as a human being. And
you worked on it, You've been working on it. I
do actively work on it. But a sport like golf
would never gel with me because short fuse doesn't even
begin to I have no fuse. It just sometimes it'll
(14:37):
just blow up. Ye, And I can't be doing that
on a golf course.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
No, no, So I mean I think even the Lord
looked down and made sure he wasn't going to be
a golfer. When I'm not putting this on the Lord,
but when you got on a golf cart and uh,
it was a monster golf cart, like a monster Baby
trucks from Chucks Trucks, and he snapped the axle. Yeah,
(15:02):
And so I think that meant you're just not supposed
to be on a golf course. Those tournaments were something
to talk about.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
That was a shifting flaw error on my part that
costs I don't even want to get into how much
that ended up costing thousands.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
But uh, those golf tournaments that we did, now, that
was some craziness.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, past tense, Yeah it was.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
It was. Yeah, but we had we had a listener
flip a golf cart in lake. Yeah, we had remember
the awards ceremony where they're doing the awards ceremony and whatever,
and listener in the banquet room just chows blows chow. Sorry,
and that's pretty gross. Blows chow and everybody's like, oh shit, dude,
(15:50):
go outside, and.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
More people started feeling sick because they want and then
the court, the next thing, you know, it's a Monty
Python situation of course, came up.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
To us and said sorry, you guys can ever come back.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
And and it all kind of devolved from there and
that was that for the hackers. Open as we called it.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
When it first started, it was the best ever. Remember
we had full on sponsors. We have a Cadillac, like
big ass sponsors, like a real golf turn moved out again.
And then our sales staff past ten that went away.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Well they were afraid to sell sell it.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
No, remember the ones that cared about us were done
by then had moved on. So anyway, yeah, that's all
little behind the scenes. Oh ice balls. At the beginning,
I was going to say, it's very random, like a
lot of things in my life. Last night I realized
that with both the daughters gone, we have those bourbon
balls that our freezer makes, the big circular bourbon ball
(16:47):
ice cubes.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Really right, so fancy ice the kids.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I only bought it because it was a new fridge
and all my stuff was about to die in the
other one.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Doesn't have different types of settings you could. They're all
like that.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
It gives you regular ice, crushed ice, or separate apartment
makes balls, whiskey.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Balls, yeah, so cool.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
It sends them down to a separate trough. And with
the girls being gone, they were the ones that primarily
used them. So I looked at the big ball holder
last night and it was overflowing. I'm not trying to
throw out all these punts, but it's overflowing. And when
it does, it goes in the back of the fridge,
and then that you've got to take out the freezer box,
which is impossible. So I put some in a gallon
(17:34):
plastic bag on like ten of them, and I thought,
you know, I spring lenture these ice balls because he's
a whiskey guy. I know you have ice square.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Can we back up a minute, though, I have ice
balls as well. Did Were your daughters getting into whiskey?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
They just have the big tumblers. Listen, you can still
hear the remainder of ice balls from two days ago.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Oh so now they just like those for whatever they
were drinking, kicking whiskey and bourbon. You getting prime that
pump early man.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
No, because they you know, like they're they're at school
all day with their tumbler or whatever the hell you
call them. So they those worked out great? You good
stuff them all in? So you have trays that make
them though you?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Right, yeah, But I mean, if I have extra balls,
wouldn't you like them?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
It's not like I need a lot of them because
I'm just saying, wait, if you want to bring him in, sure,
but it's like they're gonna somewhat melt before you get
them here. Then they're gonna melt even more when and
then I'm gonna have melting ice balls.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Well, I'm not gonna bring you a whole See we
talk about dumb shit on this podcast. I'm not gonna
bring you a whole the whole tray of them. But
I'm saying I could bring you like fifteen of them.
Fifteen is better than nothing.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I appreciate the offer.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I don't know. I'll keep freeze them because when the
hurricane hits, the big one down the road.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
No, I get it, but I have adequate between the
big frozen cube ones in the ice. We got more
than enough, and you give me. I'm not having any
place to put your ice balls from your custom fridge,
but thank you for the offer.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Thinking about it, no problem. I just looked at him.
I thought, well, but then my wife chimed in and
she said, I use those. I said, yeah, but we
gotta use more.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Start drinking more.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
They're overflowing. No, she's just using for water and stuff too.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
The uh, you can't turn that off. You can't.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Just why would I. It's ice for when it's when
I'm going to Club Drews to watch football. Those things
last forever.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
But he said, it makes three different types of ice. Yeah,
but I.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Could just use those big ones. Throw those in.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
With some of the cube dice, Bob, take all those
that you have and pack them the cooler that I
know you're gonna take to your golf tournament and put
in your hotel room.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Ice Ball's gone.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, all right. Brian at the Facebook Live d M.
Don't understand why he's on the ride either, Fellas. Yeah,
oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Back to the start racers, Ralph, what is this?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Taco? Bob is just so useless. He has no insight
of his own. Hey, bullshit, Ralph, I just figured out
a shotgun start on my own. What have you done
today besides it? Besides toking the bear may being the bear?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
What? Ralph?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
What? What do you?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Could you be more specific as to it's really I mean,
we take plenty of incoming where you know it's no problem.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah, Tiffany said, thank you so much for clarifying.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, Tiffany, just ignore that ship. If you are picked
as the random winner, you'll get a direct communication from talking.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
It is the most obvious thing if you're picked, and
we need to remind people that on the air tomorrow.
I know that a lot of times you'll say I
just wasted airtime, but it happens so much now. I
know it sucks, all right, we'll figure it out one.
