Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Uh, we have liftoff for another exciting episode
of Off the Air, the weekly podcast from the Lynch
and Taco Show here at one oh one one w
j r R in Orlando. I'm Pat Lynch, Taco Bob.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We had lived off in the first hour of our
on air show this morning as well.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
That was cool. If you listen to this and you
are not in the central Florida area, boy oh boy,
it's a treat that we get. Next time you visit.
Do it when there's a launch scheduled, which is almost
every day now thanks to SpaceX. But you head another
one of those early morning ones. Crystal Clear out this morning?
See it perfect?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yep, this morning.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
That's cool. Hey, something occurred to me and I think
I know what you're going to say when I ask
you this. You know how, when we're doing our regular
morning show every day, within the commercial breaks, there's promotions
for various podcasts that are offered through the free iHeartRadio app.
(01:01):
Oh yeah, and uh, I just I was wondering, do
you think that this podcast, the Off the Air podcast
from the Lynch and Taco Show, is promoted on other
stations and other markets across the country. You know, to
get more people turned onto this.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I can give you a one hundred percent answer, not
a chance in hell.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Right, which is you know, interviewing one oh one. Rule
number one, don't ask any questions that you don't already
know the answer to.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I just wanted your validation there, m h is validated.
Oh if they asked us to come up with a
promo to entice people and other markets to tune into
our park, can you imagine, Hey there, it's Lynchen Taco
from wjr R down in Orlando. Now we know what
you're thinking when you hear the word Orlando theme park
capital of the World.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Our podcast has absolutely nothing to do with that. We
love the theme parks because it brings the money, but.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
We love fart and dick jokes more.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
You better leave it again Off the air podcast with
Lynch and Tacous. And then I throw in that line
of it's a pool party, everybody's welcome.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yes, I'm on end, jump in the pool with us.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
So as you like to say, we can hope in
one hand and yeah ship the other.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Right, that's definite, right.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I think some of those ones might be like paid off,
you know, like possibly I can't say that for sure.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
But do you notice something that I do every well,
actually I can't really say that.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Sure you can.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
It's the podcast every time that they play.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Do you notice what I do?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah, that's what I'm getting.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Head in the palm of your hand.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, yeah, I just anyway, mother always said, if you
don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Did you just say, mother, Yeah, Oh my god, you're
what you do? No? No, no, no no. And I
know the answer is going to be yes to a
lot of you when I or from you when I
ask you this this monster thing that's on Netflix right now,
the ed Geen story, I don't know. Okay, ed Gen
is a serial kill.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I know the one you're talking about, because they interview
his daughter in Star or something like that.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, I've seen it. No, it's it's it's a it's
not it's not a it's a dramatic series with Charlie Hoonem. Yeah. Anyway,
he ed Gean. And this isn't one hundred percent for sure,
But the word is is that the film's Psycho and
(03:31):
Texas Chainsaw Massacre are both loosely based on ed Gean's antics.
You know, way back in the forties and fifties I
think was the time frame, maybe even earlier.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah, we're talking about the same show.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
But that's why I come into Mother. The whole ed
lived with mother. Oh yeah, and he called her mother
and Mother.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Probably knew what he was doing but just covered it up.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Mother was a lunatic. What she what she ended up
doing was sexually repressing her beloved son Eddie as she
called him. And she did not want him getting any
harlots or Jezebel's because she referred to him as And
(04:18):
you know, it's the old you know, you forbid your
child from doing something, and you tell them over and over,
don't do this, don't do this. The first thing you're
gonna do.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Is somebody said that to us today. You tell a
kid to touch stuff, they're gonna keep touching it.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
So ed you know, one of the more prolific and
interesting serial killers of our time, well of many previous generations.
But uh, I'm about halfway through this thing, and and
I I had to come up for air during one
of the episodes. It was just so you would there
(04:51):
is no chance in hell you would ever watch this. No.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Instead, my taste is I was watching.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
They released h two more of the episodes from that,
uh powers, you know the football sad power, Chad powers.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
You hearing Ainy buzz about that.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Nope, I didn't think so.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
No, it is kind of cool for the episodes they do.
First quarter is the first one? Second quarter?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Oh they got broken up like that?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah, so it's a it's no, but it's not like
a quarter of a game. It's just that we're being creative.
Like it's in the same first episode. I don't know
if Mother would approve. So he's watching the show like
Mother and I'm monster whatever and I'm watching you know
those Chad powers different strokes one hundred percent. And that's
(05:38):
why our show works on and well kind of off
the air, which is not another market.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Speaking of stuff on TV, real quick, can we just
go back to this real quick from something we didn't
have I think enough time to elaborate on this morning.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Before we get off the mother like the crazy Mother.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, did you have.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Just remind me crazy mother after you do this?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Okay, this whole to a thing in Miami with his
now his apology, his public apology to his teammates. I
just I've been thinking about this some more, and I
just most of you are up to speed on the
whole thing. After the latest Dolphins collapsed and lost this
past weekend, he in the postgame press conference called out
(06:19):
some of his fellow teammates for either skipping or being
late to player only meetings. Okay, which very well could
be an accurate statement, and there probably are multiple teammates
of his that were late or skipped his player only
meetings for whatever reasons. That's between them. But as you said,
(06:42):
Dick move and that's what most people think. And the coach,
even Mike McDaniel is as hot as his seat is,
still took time to even point that out, and as
a result too, I ended up apologizing, Dude, they're gonna
get killed this weekend. I don't care they're playing at Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Oh forget it.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
It's not that the Browns are setting the world on fire.
It's just all of this behind the scenes drama, which
is so needless at this point with a team that's
already in disarray. They're just setting themselves up for disaster
on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
And that's what a lot of people said. When I
was watching different players talk about former players and active
players talk about to a doing that.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yeah, this apology, I'm sorry that apology is too late.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
For one, you were forced to do it, basically, and
every one of these present and former players said, nobody
knew about that drama in your locker room.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Nobody. Now you brought that out. Even one of the.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Coaches on the show said said, why would you introduce
locker room drama that nobody knows about? And they asked
every different person and they all said, that is complete
bullshit that he did that, and it was a dumb move.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
And the bigger problem is you said the word drama
that that that that exists right now means trouble period,
much less now, making it very public and out front.
And I can't help as a Dolphins fan just really,
I'm not m I'm not jumping off. I'm just what's
(08:18):
it going to take for that franchise to to get
it right? It has been forever since they've done anything.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I don't know, I do not know the answer for that.
I mean, they have pretty good players. I say, you
brought it in a different new quarterback.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I am starting to buy into this Belichick theory that's
been getting floated around that you know, the word is
he wants out of the college ranks. That's turned into
a disaster.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
And they want him out.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And Steven Ross, the Dolphins owner, has gobs. He's a
multi billionaire, and it's known to make flashy moves. And
it doesn't get any flashier than hiring a non flashy
guy in Belichick. No, you know what I'm saying. As
unflashy as Belichick is in his own personality, it's a
(09:05):
flashy move if you were to bring him in. But
then you also got are you a little too late
with Belichick where he's at these days? I don't know, man,
Ever since he's this whole Jordan Hudson thing has started
with him, it's just been it's almost seems like football
is not the priority.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I mean, Jordan would want to live in Miami.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Sure, the influencer opportunities exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah, I think it's I think it's a good fit
because Miami has good players. You have him come in
and and I mean McDaniel seemed to be doing well
a few seasons ago, but he's not pulling it off now,
so so you know, Belichick might attract a better quarterback
and and sit to on the as the bench warmer.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You know, for a bit comments coming in. You had
me at fart and dick jokes since two thousand and four. Okay,
well appreciate that. Awesome A question, Are we planning to
do Earthday birthday in twenty twenty six, Yes, we are
planning on doing that. Yeah, it's happening. When it will
be announced that we can't answer right now. That's still
(10:11):
being worked on. I know Taco is hard at work.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
On on that. I've got, you know, the tea's crossed
and the eyes most of them dotted. But it'll be
it'll be pretty soon that we announce it. So Dolphins,
good luck.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah, I just I think Sunday could be utterly disastrous
with another loss, and then I think that'll be it
for McDaniel. And it's not like they're going to turn around.
If Belichick comes into the mix. It wouldn't be till
next season. He's not gonna come in. I think he'll
probably make it through the rest of the season at
North Carolina. Then they'll agree to say, hey, this didn't
(10:48):
work out.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I'm glad that I'm not involved in either one of those.
We'll franchisees, we'll see, or maybe it could college or
the Pro.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Could be completely off the mark. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
So when you said crazy mom, like that mother in
a moment what we were talking about previously?
Speaker 3 (11:06):
And I know you had skelet Bumps going to.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Get your back? Did you have Skelly Bump's going to
get your booty?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Besides Scully Bump. Did you have a crazy person that
lived in your zone?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Oh? Yeah, yeah, what you mean growing up?
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Growing up there was like it came to mind because
we had this lady and I was thinking about her.
And she was right down the street from uh Brookshire
Elementary and her name was Claire okay, and she was
straight up batshit crazy, drove this big old tank car.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Was she crazy because she like lost her marbles older
or No? It wasn't like it wasn't like dementia any
of that.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
No, she was just crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I'm talking when she was in her probably if I was,
it was probably her early sixties.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
But she was always crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
What happened with Claire, I just didn't know about her
back then.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
But when with the time period that I did, I'd
always remember she'd drive into the seven to eleven and
her big old battle axe car, you know, like the
Cadillac Catalina or whatever, and she'd get out in her
her sparkly shoes like bright red or bright blue, sparkles,
lipstick all over her face, just a just a nut job.
(12:30):
And we used to ride by her house. That's why
I was asking if you had a crazy person in
your area. We would ride by our house on the
way to Brookshire Elementary and always go crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Claire ain't got no hair anywhere, and she'd.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Come barreling out of that door with a broom running
and chasing it out.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
What was she going to do with the broom? Hit
the shit out of us? Did she ever whack anyhow?
She took a whack at once because got Shane fell
off the bike. So now I'm running with the bike
right yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
But no connection because you know, she's running in her
heels or whatever. But it drove her crazy. Then we'd
see her at the wind Dixie and we'd have to
hide from her because she knew we were the three
little shitheads, right Cob, Dave and I.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
It would do it.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
But everybody knew Claire whatever her last name was, was
crazy as balls.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Even parents knew it. And it just got me thinking
it was a little sidetracking.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
We had a woman lived on the same street I
grew up on. Her name was was Genie, and then
she had her her son of a bitch son, Bradley.
He was he was one of the hell raisers. Just
he was completely dirty kid. Okay, okay, And the kid
(13:45):
was just a juvenile delinquent. He was younger then, let's say,
he was probably my brother is the youngest of us four. Yeah,
Bradley was probably a year or two younger than even
my brother.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
And Bradley was always getting into all sorts of trouble.
And it was because his mother, Genie, did not give
a rats ass about anything, and she was just a horrible,
mean person. Their house was a wreck. She drove this
hot rod and would race up and down the street
if kids were out playing, and she didn't care sick,
(14:23):
she would curse out everybody left and right. That's and
yet this she was probably probably only in her forties forties. No,
she was probably more like in her late twenties early
thirties at that time when I was, you know, young
enough to still be at home with my brothers and
sisters single. No, she that was the other thing. She
(14:45):
lived in the house with her father, who was also
completely batshit crazy, and the whole neighborhood just was like,
can we just wall that place off? And it was
always something going on there.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
This is crazy does Yeah everybody has that crazy person.
They grew up in the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
The cops were there at least a couple times a month. Yeah,
we also had.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
We also had the upside down flaghouse. You remember that.
That made it in the news a lot.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Remember they got by the way. Bradley lived two doors
down from Tony and Dino, who were two little dick
the two little shitheads that cut the heads off my turtles.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah, yeah, with the how they ran together, Oh my god,
ton and Bradley.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yeah, I remember I told you, Did I ever tell you?
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Jail? Right now?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
I'm probably dead or in jail. There's there's no there's
no two ways about I. I babysat Tony and one
time at once, and I just I I was probably sixteen,
and I just wanted to make some money. I don't know,
this would be easy money. I can deal with these
two little turns, concert or beer money. I can do this.
(16:00):
Couldn't it?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Worst time ever?
Speaker 1 (16:02):
When when when they're when mister and missus Tony and
Dino got home from wherever the hell they were. And
I don't know what time it was. It was probably
in all actuality, about ten o'clock at night. It might
have been might have been three in the morning, because
that's how long it seemed like it was. Trying to
watch those little.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
And with your patience level, well I know you were sixteen,
but yeah, it just it was insane.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
The uh yeah, we had remember the upside down flaghouse
that I told you about. It was all over the
news in the in the eighties, and I think it
might still happen, which is.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
A distress sign. Yeah, flags upside down exactly, and they did.
They were just disrespectful these days if you want to.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
I think that the family lost somebody in uh while
in military, you know what I'm saying, like a military doctor,
some lost as one of their children.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Maybe. Okay, So they had trees and written all over
the house. Just google treason. It was this. It was
some crazy shit.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Pet They had a tower that they would go up
in with a bullhorn and say the government is brainwashing us.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
All they were. It was the craziest thing.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
We grew up with that you know, less than a
mile from the house, probably a mile from the house,
and the whole house was painted as an upside down flag.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
They had upside down flags all over.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
It was a it was like a tourist attraction that
people when visiting, they'd go, oh, you gotta go see this,
And it was.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I can't even explain to you.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I mean, they did things like when winter park police
were coming to arrest them for raising hell up there
again in the tower and shooting red, white and blue
paint all over the roads, came and got arrested, and
they covered themselves in oil.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
How did they, like, how did they permit this to
go on in a beautiful winter park in the zone
of operation there is usually put up with that kind
of shenanigans there.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
It was a little over you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
It wasn't It was address a winter parking address only, Yes,
I got it exactly so. But what was I gonna say?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Oh, yes, they covered themselves.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
When I say oil, I'm talking twenty w fifty motor
oil to get in the back of the cop cars
because they were getting arrested.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
These are the kids doing this, the teenagers. It was
the nuttiest thing.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Whatever happened to him.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I think that the house might still have I have
to google it. But it was in when we had,
you know, the the winter.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Parks in the len orlandos Stine evolved into. They were
in the paper all the time, they were on the
news all the time. They'd say the so and sos
are edited again, and they'd show them up there with
the wall like a fire hydrant they hooked into with
a hose.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
So they were They were even ahead of the Altamont
junk man in a hog in a local airtime.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
He had nothing on the upside down flowghouse it was
for It was crazy, but yeah, Windor Park. Yeah, it
only got away because it was not a real winter
park address kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Winter Park, Florida.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
American Flaghouse yep, Grover Grover Walker's house.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Was eventually repainted as an American flag and his flagpole
was chopped down to more reasonable fifteen foot.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Oh let me see.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Now this doesn't show you it too well.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
But that, oh now it does. This is after they
redid it. That's for the listeners to see.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
But pat the.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Just crazy stuff they would do. We all got everybody,
every neighborhood has somebody on here commenting Brian saying, wait,
I'm sorry. I used to live next to a retention pond,
had this crazy neighbor who would feed the ducks within days.
Next thing, you know, hundreds of ducks, uh huh feeding
(20:07):
you just the few thanks. They quack to each other,
and you know, word gets out.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
And now they're crapping all over his cars and his sidewalks.
It says, being in the neighborhood, I had to go
buy this house. So I'm I'm there taking pictures and
this little guard dog runs over to me, yapping away
and wouldn't stop until the owner came out to get them.
I continued to take pictures and when I was done left.
The owner never questioned what I was doing because they
(20:34):
liked the pat It was Uss Dreyfist.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
They had a problem with.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
All this stuff, and even the FAA got involved. He put,
oh yeah, he put a giant siren. I forgot about
that part.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Like, you know, the person that we had recently into
all of this you're describing right now sounds like if
they were still operational, they're probably part of some civilian
militia in Michigan. Yes, something right now planning a government takeover.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Said they the FAA got involved and tried to make
him take it down. The U the upside down flag
and also the siren because it was interfering with the.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Flight path in the area.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Think about OIA flying over and he's got this siren,
it was. Think about you live next door and you're
just trying to go to bed at night and there's
an air raid siren.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Yeah, Or that you have parades of cars coming to
see the upside down flaghouse.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, that was.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
It was in Tampa Bay Times, the Roadside America, Oddball,
Orlando Properties, Winter Park City protesting walker for Code Violet.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
It was.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
It was.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
It was crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Oh hey, before we run out of time, I wanted
to bring this up because this saga has been going
on for over two years at this point. Any of
you who lived local and ever, you know, keep up
with any of the news. This one used auto dealership
has been in the news for the last couple of
years called Benji Auto. They've got a place on Obt
(22:09):
and then they've got another location, I think in South
Florida and they've just it's one of those joints where
customers just filed complain after complain after complaint, and one
of the TV stations locally, I think it was Channel
nine decided, okay, let's let's look into some of these
complaints and found some validity to those and has been
(22:32):
following up ever since. The update is they have the
state now has taken their license, their occupational license. They
can't operate anymore. The final straw I guess is they
have once again pulled this maneuver. I want you to
think about this next time you're going to do a
car deal wherever it is, all right, A lot of
times you have a trade in, right, yeah, maybe your
(22:54):
trade in you still owe money on, right, and you
know how you work that deal. The dealership all, well, okay,
well we work this out and we'll pay off what
you Oh, we just their goal is to get you
into whatever car they're trying to sell you, whatever interest
rate they're trying to get you with. This joint was like, okay, yeah,
well get you whatever you want, we'll pay off your
other car, and they do the deal, You sign all
(23:16):
the paperwork, you leave. Then you find out down the
road that they never bothered to pay off the balance
of the car. You traded into them. So not only
do they have the car you got rid of, but
they haven't paid it off yet, and now you're on
the hook for not one, but two payments.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
It got me thinking when you said that that I
guarantee the mindset. I can't speak for them, so I'm
just saying, in my mind, this would be the mindset. Look,
this person is at bottom of the barrel right now,
shopping here for a car. By the time they even
notice that we didn't pay off the first one, and
(23:48):
their credit is just shot. By the time that comes,
I'm already gonna be gone.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I won't be.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Working here anymore. So you know, started working deals guarantee.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
It, dude. Is you know one of my all time
favorite movies is Used Cars, Huh? And that movie has
just about every type of back room scam that they
pull and these used car lots in it, and it's
it's hilariously not even that movie thought to do this.
I I looked. I was curious. I looked up. The
(24:20):
law in the state is, if you do that kind
of deal, that dealership that has taken your trade and
has greed to pay off the balance has ten days
to do that. Right, So there's a there's a little
wiggle room. We're talking like sore as you as you said,
you know, you do that deal, you leave, you think
you're done with the dealership. Never mind ten days, it's
more like thirty days later when that next payment on
(24:42):
that car you just traded would come do and now
they're called. They have no idea you've traded it. No,
they think you're still you know, the note holder there
that owes them the money for it. Imagine you're surprised.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Yeah, somebody that's going to that place, they know they could, Hey,
we could probably get a away with this for a while.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Get you into this. How's twenty three percent interest rates?
So it's great, it's a don't worry. It's a good rate.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Trust me. It's a nice car for your kid.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
You know they're young, they need a beater. We can
spread these payments out over one hundred and eight months.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Uh huh, perfect, twenty three you know what, I think
we need to give them twenty five percent interest to
make it a you know, we'll make it four hundred months.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Buying buying a car now is I mean, whether it's
new or us it's easy now, well it is the
process is easy. The financial HiT's not easy because just
the prices of cars now, it's just bonkers. Yeah, it's
you really. I know there's people who are car people
and are into you know, always wanting to have the
(25:45):
latest and great, and that's fine if that's your thing, man,
But I just I don't know how some of some
of these folks do that, man, because it's like just
a constant. Okay, sixty five thousand sounds good.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I just can kill Oh how about one of the
badass ram trucks or whatever those are ever one hundred
thousand dollars. They're beautiful, man, you know, but but yeah, yeah, man,
got them and.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Then you find out your trade hasn't been paid off
it was agreed to. Yeah, that's mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
I'm reading the uh, reading the stuff on the upside
down Flaghouse to remind myself. It was US Air Force
honorably discharged Walker in sixty six, saying he was mentally
unfit and paranoid according to his story, in the sense, oh, I.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Then
with the family members, oh.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah, sometimes this is just how they grew up and
they went to normal schools like schools with us, like
Glenyard's Junior High and stuff.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
But then you know they're up on the roof with
fire houses and uh fire.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Look.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Family members would climb onto the platform on their flagpole
and announced grievance via a loudspeaker of the neighborhood hashtag America.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
At that it was. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
The crazy neighbors. If one thing, it makes life interesting
in any said neighborhood. And you know, especially if they're
a permanent fixture, you just you almost become desensitized to them,
that person in your neighborhood because we all have one
or have one, trust me.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
And I had a buddy who who recently, i'll say
in the last five years sold his his mother's house,
his mother past whatever.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
So there's that word again, mother, oh mother.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
So he was he was extremely happy to finally because
he was a street over. But it was still He's like,
oh god, the walker's house. I had to grow up
a block from it.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, all right, okay, we're going to wrap her up
for this episode of Off the Air. We appreciate you
finding us because we have established this isn't being promoted
on any other station around the country.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
At least that we're not aware of.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Hey, and you know what you promo for us?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Sure mentioned to two people.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yes, if everybody listen to mentions to two people, Hey,
check out the Lynching Taco off the air podcast. They're
able to get little balls here to talk about just
off the wall shit whatever.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Uh, just do us that favor if you can appreciate it.
Thank you for participating. We always appreciate when you'll have
comments and you know whatnot.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Somebody text in I remember the upside down in the Flaghouse.
It was basically a tourist attraction.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
I'm telling you. When you had your relatives come in,
come here, we got to show you this and you
drive by and there's.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Up sometimes north to fifty people driving buy. I think
if that's your next door to, oh, that would suck.
Yeah a little bit all right. One other note, if
you looking for something to do Saturday, we'll be out
with another college football watch party. We'll be in Sanford
downtown Sanford two to four the station. They have good
food called drinks and watch a little U see a football.
It's the homecoming game.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Again two to four this Saturday, which would be like
this eighteenth.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
We're gonna be out of the station downtown Stamford, and
they tell you what their wings kick.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Ass everything there is.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
I know, everything's delicious.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I just I remember when we were there that one time,
and it was I don't want to say what it was,
but you know what I'm getting at.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
We had more We had more wings than we could handle.
Let me leave it at that. Yes, we had wings
for days. All right. Again, thank you for checking out
the Off the Air podcast, and we'll do it again
soon and we'll be back with you live on the
radio on Friday morning and every weekday morning starting at
five o'clock Eastern time.
All right, Uh, we have liftoff for another exciting episode
of Off the Air, the weekly podcast from the Lynch
and Taco Show here at one oh one one w
j r R in Orlando. I'm Pat Lynch, Taco Bob.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We had lived off in the first hour of our
on air show this morning as well.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
That was cool. If you listen to this and you
are not in the central Florida area, boy oh boy,
it's a treat that we get. Next time you visit.
Do it when there's a launch scheduled, which is almost
every day now thanks to SpaceX. But you head another
one of those early morning ones. Crystal Clear out this morning?
See it perfect?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yep, this morning.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
That's cool. Hey, something occurred to me and I think
I know what you're going to say when I ask
you this. You know how, when we're doing our regular
morning show every day, within the commercial breaks, there's promotions
for various podcasts that are offered through the free iHeartRadio app.
(01:01):
Oh yeah, and uh, I just I was wondering, do
you think that this podcast, the Off the Air podcast
from the Lynch and Taco Show, is promoted on other
stations and other markets across the country. You know, to
get more people turned onto this.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I can give you a one hundred percent answer, not
a chance in hell.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Right, which is you know, interviewing one oh one. Rule
number one, don't ask any questions that you don't already
know the answer to.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I just wanted your validation there, m h is validated.
Oh if they asked us to come up with a
promo to entice people and other markets to tune into
our park, can you imagine, Hey there, it's Lynchen Taco
from wjr R down in Orlando. Now we know what
you're thinking when you hear the word Orlando theme park
capital of the World.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Our podcast has absolutely nothing to do with that. We
love the theme parks because it brings the money, but.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
We love fart and dick jokes more.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
You better leave it again Off the air podcast with
Lynch and Tacous. And then I throw in that line
of it's a pool party, everybody's welcome.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yes, I'm on end, jump in the pool with us.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
So as you like to say, we can hope in
one hand and yeah ship the other.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Right, that's definite, right.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I think some of those ones might be like paid off,
you know, like possibly I can't say that for sure.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
But do you notice something that I do every well,
actually I can't really say that.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Sure you can.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
It's the podcast every time that they play.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Do you notice what I do?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah, that's what I'm getting.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Head in the palm of your hand.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, yeah, I just anyway, mother always said, if you
don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Did you just say, mother, Yeah, Oh my god, you're
what you do? No? No, no, no no. And I
know the answer is going to be yes to a
lot of you when I or from you when I
ask you this this monster thing that's on Netflix right now,
the ed Geen story, I don't know. Okay, ed Gen
is a serial kill.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I know the one you're talking about, because they interview
his daughter in Star or something like that.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, I've seen it. No, it's it's it's a it's
not it's not a it's a dramatic series with Charlie Hoonem. Yeah. Anyway,
he ed Gean. And this isn't one hundred percent for sure,
But the word is is that the film's Psycho and
(03:31):
Texas Chainsaw Massacre are both loosely based on ed Gean's antics.
You know, way back in the forties and fifties I
think was the time frame, maybe even earlier.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah, we're talking about the same show.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
But that's why I come into Mother. The whole ed
lived with mother. Oh yeah, and he called her mother
and Mother.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Probably knew what he was doing but just covered it up.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Mother was a lunatic. What she what she ended up
doing was sexually repressing her beloved son Eddie as she
called him. And she did not want him getting any
harlots or Jezebel's because she referred to him as And
(04:18):
you know, it's the old you know, you forbid your
child from doing something, and you tell them over and over,
don't do this, don't do this. The first thing you're
gonna do.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Is somebody said that to us today. You tell a
kid to touch stuff, they're gonna keep touching it.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
So ed you know, one of the more prolific and
interesting serial killers of our time, well of many previous generations.
But uh, I'm about halfway through this thing, and and
I I had to come up for air during one
of the episodes. It was just so you would there
(04:51):
is no chance in hell you would ever watch this. No.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Instead, my taste is I was watching.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
They released h two more of the episodes from that,
uh powers, you know the football sad power, Chad powers.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
You hearing Ainy buzz about that.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Nope, I didn't think so.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
No, it is kind of cool for the episodes they do.
First quarter is the first one? Second quarter?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Oh they got broken up like that?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah, so it's a it's no, but it's not like
a quarter of a game. It's just that we're being creative.
Like it's in the same first episode. I don't know
if Mother would approve. So he's watching the show like
Mother and I'm monster whatever and I'm watching you know
those Chad powers different strokes one hundred percent. And that's
(05:38):
why our show works on and well kind of off
the air, which is not another market.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Speaking of stuff on TV, real quick, can we just
go back to this real quick from something we didn't
have I think enough time to elaborate on this morning.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Before we get off the mother like the crazy Mother.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, did you have.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Just remind me crazy mother after you do this?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Okay, this whole to a thing in Miami with his
now his apology, his public apology to his teammates. I
just I've been thinking about this some more, and I
just most of you are up to speed on the
whole thing. After the latest Dolphins collapsed and lost this
past weekend, he in the postgame press conference called out
(06:19):
some of his fellow teammates for either skipping or being
late to player only meetings. Okay, which very well could
be an accurate statement, and there probably are multiple teammates
of his that were late or skipped his player only
meetings for whatever reasons. That's between them. But as you said,
(06:42):
Dick move and that's what most people think. And the coach,
even Mike McDaniel is as hot as his seat is,
still took time to even point that out, and as
a result too, I ended up apologizing, Dude, they're gonna
get killed this weekend. I don't care they're playing at Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Oh forget it.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
It's not that the Browns are setting the world on fire.
It's just all of this behind the scenes drama, which
is so needless at this point with a team that's
already in disarray. They're just setting themselves up for disaster
on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
And that's what a lot of people said. When I
was watching different players talk about former players and active
players talk about to a doing that.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yeah, this apology, I'm sorry that apology is too late.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
For one, you were forced to do it, basically, and
every one of these present and former players said, nobody
knew about that drama in your locker room.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Nobody. Now you brought that out. Even one of the.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Coaches on the show said said, why would you introduce
locker room drama that nobody knows about? And they asked
every different person and they all said, that is complete
bullshit that he did that, and it was a dumb move.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
And the bigger problem is you said the word drama
that that that that exists right now means trouble period,
much less now, making it very public and out front.
And I can't help as a Dolphins fan just really,
I'm not m I'm not jumping off. I'm just what's
(08:18):
it going to take for that franchise to to get
it right? It has been forever since they've done anything.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I don't know, I do not know the answer for that.
I mean, they have pretty good players. I say, you
brought it in a different new quarterback.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I am starting to buy into this Belichick theory that's
been getting floated around that you know, the word is
he wants out of the college ranks. That's turned into
a disaster.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
And they want him out.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And Steven Ross, the Dolphins owner, has gobs. He's a
multi billionaire, and it's known to make flashy moves. And
it doesn't get any flashier than hiring a non flashy
guy in Belichick. No, you know what I'm saying. As
unflashy as Belichick is in his own personality, it's a
(09:05):
flashy move if you were to bring him in. But
then you also got are you a little too late
with Belichick where he's at these days? I don't know, man,
Ever since he's this whole Jordan Hudson thing has started
with him, it's just been it's almost seems like football
is not the priority.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I mean, Jordan would want to live in Miami.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Sure, the influencer opportunities exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah, I think it's I think it's a good fit
because Miami has good players. You have him come in
and and I mean McDaniel seemed to be doing well
a few seasons ago, but he's not pulling it off now,
so so you know, Belichick might attract a better quarterback
and and sit to on the as the bench warmer.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You know, for a bit comments coming in. You had
me at fart and dick jokes since two thousand and four. Okay,
well appreciate that. Awesome A question, Are we planning to
do Earthday birthday in twenty twenty six, Yes, we are
planning on doing that. Yeah, it's happening. When it will
be announced that we can't answer right now. That's still
(10:11):
being worked on. I know Taco is hard at work.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
On on that. I've got, you know, the tea's crossed
and the eyes most of them dotted. But it'll be
it'll be pretty soon that we announce it. So Dolphins,
good luck.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah, I just I think Sunday could be utterly disastrous
with another loss, and then I think that'll be it
for McDaniel. And it's not like they're going to turn around.
If Belichick comes into the mix. It wouldn't be till
next season. He's not gonna come in. I think he'll
probably make it through the rest of the season at
North Carolina. Then they'll agree to say, hey, this didn't
(10:48):
work out.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I'm glad that I'm not involved in either one of those.
We'll franchisees, we'll see, or maybe it could college or
the Pro.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Could be completely off the mark. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
So when you said crazy mom, like that mother in
a moment what we were talking about previously?
Speaker 3 (11:06):
And I know you had skelet Bumps going to.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Get your back? Did you have Skelly Bump's going to
get your booty?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Besides Scully Bump. Did you have a crazy person that
lived in your zone?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Oh? Yeah, yeah, what you mean growing up?
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Growing up there was like it came to mind because
we had this lady and I was thinking about her.
And she was right down the street from uh Brookshire
Elementary and her name was Claire okay, and she was
straight up batshit crazy, drove this big old tank car.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Was she crazy because she like lost her marbles older
or No? It wasn't like it wasn't like dementia any
of that.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
No, she was just crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I'm talking when she was in her probably if I was,
it was probably her early sixties.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
But she was always crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
What happened with Claire, I just didn't know about her
back then.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
But when with the time period that I did, I'd
always remember she'd drive into the seven to eleven and
her big old battle axe car, you know, like the
Cadillac Catalina or whatever, and she'd get out in her
her sparkly shoes like bright red or bright blue, sparkles,
lipstick all over her face, just a just a nut job.
(12:30):
And we used to ride by her house. That's why
I was asking if you had a crazy person in
your area. We would ride by our house on the
way to Brookshire Elementary and always go crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Claire ain't got no hair anywhere, and she'd.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Come barreling out of that door with a broom running
and chasing it out.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
What was she going to do with the broom? Hit
the shit out of us? Did she ever whack anyhow?
She took a whack at once because got Shane fell
off the bike. So now I'm running with the bike
right yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
But no connection because you know, she's running in her
heels or whatever. But it drove her crazy. Then we'd
see her at the wind Dixie and we'd have to
hide from her because she knew we were the three
little shitheads, right Cob, Dave and I.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
It would do it.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
But everybody knew Claire whatever her last name was, was
crazy as balls.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Even parents knew it. And it just got me thinking
it was a little sidetracking.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
We had a woman lived on the same street I
grew up on. Her name was was Genie, and then
she had her her son of a bitch son, Bradley.
He was he was one of the hell raisers. Just
he was completely dirty kid. Okay, okay, And the kid
(13:45):
was just a juvenile delinquent. He was younger then, let's say,
he was probably my brother is the youngest of us four. Yeah,
Bradley was probably a year or two younger than even
my brother.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
And Bradley was always getting into all sorts of trouble.
And it was because his mother, Genie, did not give
a rats ass about anything, and she was just a horrible,
mean person. Their house was a wreck. She drove this
hot rod and would race up and down the street
if kids were out playing, and she didn't care sick,
(14:23):
she would curse out everybody left and right. That's and
yet this she was probably probably only in her forties forties. No,
she was probably more like in her late twenties early
thirties at that time when I was, you know, young
enough to still be at home with my brothers and
sisters single. No, she that was the other thing. She
(14:45):
lived in the house with her father, who was also
completely batshit crazy, and the whole neighborhood just was like,
can we just wall that place off? And it was
always something going on there.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
This is crazy does Yeah everybody has that crazy person.
They grew up in the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
The cops were there at least a couple times a month. Yeah,
we also had.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
We also had the upside down flaghouse. You remember that.
That made it in the news a lot.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Remember they got by the way. Bradley lived two doors
down from Tony and Dino, who were two little dick
the two little shitheads that cut the heads off my turtles.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah, yeah, with the how they ran together, Oh my god,
ton and Bradley.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yeah, I remember I told you, Did I ever tell you?
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Jail? Right now?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
I'm probably dead or in jail. There's there's no there's
no two ways about I. I babysat Tony and one
time at once, and I just I I was probably sixteen,
and I just wanted to make some money. I don't know,
this would be easy money. I can deal with these
two little turns, concert or beer money. I can do this.
(16:00):
Couldn't it?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Worst time ever?
Speaker 1 (16:02):
When when when they're when mister and missus Tony and
Dino got home from wherever the hell they were. And
I don't know what time it was. It was probably
in all actuality, about ten o'clock at night. It might
have been might have been three in the morning, because
that's how long it seemed like it was. Trying to
watch those little.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
And with your patience level, well I know you were sixteen,
but yeah, it just it was insane.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
The uh yeah, we had remember the upside down flaghouse
that I told you about. It was all over the
news in the in the eighties, and I think it
might still happen, which is.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
A distress sign. Yeah, flags upside down exactly, and they did.
They were just disrespectful these days if you want to.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
I think that the family lost somebody in uh while
in military, you know what I'm saying, like a military doctor,
some lost as one of their children.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Maybe. Okay, So they had trees and written all over
the house. Just google treason. It was this. It was
some crazy shit.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Pet They had a tower that they would go up
in with a bullhorn and say the government is brainwashing us.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
All they were. It was the craziest thing.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
We grew up with that you know, less than a
mile from the house, probably a mile from the house,
and the whole house was painted as an upside down flag.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
They had upside down flags all over.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
It was a it was like a tourist attraction that
people when visiting, they'd go, oh, you gotta go see this,
And it was.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I can't even explain to you.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I mean, they did things like when winter park police
were coming to arrest them for raising hell up there
again in the tower and shooting red, white and blue
paint all over the roads, came and got arrested, and
they covered themselves in oil.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
How did they, like, how did they permit this to
go on in a beautiful winter park in the zone
of operation there is usually put up with that kind
of shenanigans there.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
It was a little over you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
It wasn't It was address a winter parking address only, Yes,
I got it exactly so. But what was I gonna say?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Oh, yes, they covered themselves.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
When I say oil, I'm talking twenty w fifty motor
oil to get in the back of the cop cars
because they were getting arrested.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
These are the kids doing this, the teenagers. It was
the nuttiest thing.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Whatever happened to him.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I think that the house might still have I have
to google it. But it was in when we had,
you know, the the winter.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Parks in the len orlandos Stine evolved into. They were
in the paper all the time, they were on the
news all the time. They'd say the so and sos
are edited again, and they'd show them up there with
the wall like a fire hydrant they hooked into with
a hose.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
So they were They were even ahead of the Altamont
junk man in a hog in a local airtime.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
He had nothing on the upside down flowghouse it was
for It was crazy, but yeah, Windor Park. Yeah, it
only got away because it was not a real winter
park address kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Winter Park, Florida.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
American Flaghouse yep, Grover Grover Walker's house.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Was eventually repainted as an American flag and his flagpole
was chopped down to more reasonable fifteen foot.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Oh let me see.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Now this doesn't show you it too well.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
But that, oh now it does. This is after they
redid it. That's for the listeners to see.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
But pat the.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Just crazy stuff they would do. We all got everybody,
every neighborhood has somebody on here commenting Brian saying, wait,
I'm sorry. I used to live next to a retention pond,
had this crazy neighbor who would feed the ducks within days.
Next thing, you know, hundreds of ducks, uh huh feeding
(20:07):
you just the few thanks. They quack to each other,
and you know, word gets out.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
And now they're crapping all over his cars and his sidewalks.
It says, being in the neighborhood, I had to go
buy this house. So I'm I'm there taking pictures and
this little guard dog runs over to me, yapping away
and wouldn't stop until the owner came out to get them.
I continued to take pictures and when I was done left.
The owner never questioned what I was doing because they
(20:34):
liked the pat It was Uss Dreyfist.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
They had a problem with.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
All this stuff, and even the FAA got involved. He put,
oh yeah, he put a giant siren. I forgot about
that part.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Like, you know, the person that we had recently into
all of this you're describing right now sounds like if
they were still operational, they're probably part of some civilian
militia in Michigan. Yes, something right now planning a government takeover.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Said they the FAA got involved and tried to make
him take it down. The U the upside down flag
and also the siren because it was interfering with the.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Flight path in the area.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Think about OIA flying over and he's got this siren,
it was. Think about you live next door and you're
just trying to go to bed at night and there's
an air raid siren.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Yeah, Or that you have parades of cars coming to
see the upside down flaghouse.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, that was.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
It was in Tampa Bay Times, the Roadside America, Oddball,
Orlando Properties, Winter Park City protesting walker for Code Violet.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
It was.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
It was.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
It was crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Oh hey, before we run out of time, I wanted
to bring this up because this saga has been going
on for over two years at this point. Any of
you who lived local and ever, you know, keep up
with any of the news. This one used auto dealership
has been in the news for the last couple of
years called Benji Auto. They've got a place on Obt
(22:09):
and then they've got another location, I think in South
Florida and they've just it's one of those joints where
customers just filed complain after complain after complaint, and one
of the TV stations locally, I think it was Channel
nine decided, okay, let's let's look into some of these
complaints and found some validity to those and has been
(22:32):
following up ever since. The update is they have the
state now has taken their license, their occupational license. They
can't operate anymore. The final straw I guess is they
have once again pulled this maneuver. I want you to
think about this next time you're going to do a
car deal wherever it is, all right, A lot of
times you have a trade in, right, yeah, maybe your
(22:54):
trade in you still owe money on, right, and you
know how you work that deal. The dealership all, well, okay,
well we work this out and we'll pay off what
you Oh, we just their goal is to get you
into whatever car they're trying to sell you, whatever interest
rate they're trying to get you with. This joint was like, okay, yeah,
well get you whatever you want, we'll pay off your
other car, and they do the deal, You sign all
(23:16):
the paperwork, you leave. Then you find out down the
road that they never bothered to pay off the balance
of the car. You traded into them. So not only
do they have the car you got rid of, but
they haven't paid it off yet, and now you're on
the hook for not one, but two payments.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
It got me thinking when you said that that I
guarantee the mindset. I can't speak for them, so I'm
just saying, in my mind, this would be the mindset. Look,
this person is at bottom of the barrel right now,
shopping here for a car. By the time they even
notice that we didn't pay off the first one, and
(23:48):
their credit is just shot. By the time that comes,
I'm already gonna be gone.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I won't be.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Working here anymore. So you know, started working deals guarantee.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
It, dude. Is you know one of my all time
favorite movies is Used Cars, Huh? And that movie has
just about every type of back room scam that they
pull and these used car lots in it, and it's
it's hilariously not even that movie thought to do this.
I I looked. I was curious. I looked up. The
(24:20):
law in the state is, if you do that kind
of deal, that dealership that has taken your trade and
has greed to pay off the balance has ten days
to do that. Right, So there's a there's a little
wiggle room. We're talking like sore as you as you said,
you know, you do that deal, you leave, you think
you're done with the dealership. Never mind ten days, it's
more like thirty days later when that next payment on
(24:42):
that car you just traded would come do and now
they're called. They have no idea you've traded it. No,
they think you're still you know, the note holder there
that owes them the money for it. Imagine you're surprised.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Yeah, somebody that's going to that place, they know they could, Hey,
we could probably get a away with this for a while.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Get you into this. How's twenty three percent interest rates?
So it's great, it's a don't worry. It's a good rate.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Trust me. It's a nice car for your kid.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
You know they're young, they need a beater. We can
spread these payments out over one hundred and eight months.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Uh huh, perfect, twenty three you know what, I think
we need to give them twenty five percent interest to
make it a you know, we'll make it four hundred months.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Buying buying a car now is I mean, whether it's
new or us it's easy now, well it is the
process is easy. The financial HiT's not easy because just
the prices of cars now, it's just bonkers. Yeah, it's
you really. I know there's people who are car people
and are into you know, always wanting to have the
(25:45):
latest and great, and that's fine if that's your thing, man,
But I just I don't know how some of some
of these folks do that, man, because it's like just
a constant. Okay, sixty five thousand sounds good.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I just can kill Oh how about one of the
badass ram trucks or whatever those are ever one hundred
thousand dollars. They're beautiful, man, you know, but but yeah, yeah, man,
got them and.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Then you find out your trade hasn't been paid off
it was agreed to. Yeah, that's mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
I'm reading the uh, reading the stuff on the upside
down Flaghouse to remind myself. It was US Air Force
honorably discharged Walker in sixty six, saying he was mentally
unfit and paranoid according to his story, in the sense, oh, I.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Then
with the family members, oh.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah, sometimes this is just how they grew up and
they went to normal schools like schools with us, like
Glenyard's Junior High and stuff.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
But then you know they're up on the roof with
fire houses and uh fire.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Look.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Family members would climb onto the platform on their flagpole
and announced grievance via a loudspeaker of the neighborhood hashtag America.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
At that it was. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
The crazy neighbors. If one thing, it makes life interesting
in any said neighborhood. And you know, especially if they're
a permanent fixture, you just you almost become desensitized to them,
that person in your neighborhood because we all have one
or have one, trust me.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
And I had a buddy who who recently, i'll say
in the last five years sold his his mother's house,
his mother past whatever.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
So there's that word again, mother, oh mother.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
So he was he was extremely happy to finally because
he was a street over. But it was still He's like,
oh god, the walker's house. I had to grow up
a block from it.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
