Speaker 1 (00:01):
Blue Penrose on News Radio six hundred co Go. We
are live in San Diego. Thank you for tuning in.
Good to have you along with us. Happy Wednesday. It's
the get out of town Wednesday. Yesterday they said was
the busiest travel day. But from these traffic reports and
looking at these monitors here in the COG studios of
the fifteen North then South, everybody's trying to get somewhere else.
(00:26):
So whether you're on the fifteen, the eight oh five
to five to eight, wherever you are and listening to
co Go first, stay tuned to news Radio six hundred
Cogo for the latest in traffic editions, accident reports, weather forecasts.
Although we're just going to have gorgeous weather. That's the
forecast spectacular, but also updated news and your favorite afternoon
(00:52):
drive talk show host, your buddy Luigi. So that's a
good way to let the time go by as you're
getting to where you need to go. I wanted to
spend some time in this hour to do a little
Thanksgiving talk. There's you know a lot of people talk
about you know, the history of Thanksgiving and what they're
(01:13):
thankful for and all those things, and I thought, all right,
well I'll take a stab at it, and then open
the phone lines to see how you feel and if
you want to add to it or share what you're
thankful for. Going a little off script on the news
of the day, as we await updated information of the
tragedy of these two National guardsmen, and we'll bring that
(01:33):
to you. That's really the top story. But there's a
lot of talk about, you know, taking stock of the country,
taking stock of our family, taking stock of ourselves. And
I thought about it, and I said, all right, I'll
take a stab about it. I have three things that
I want to share that I'm really thankful for. And
I mean this is with the exception of my work,
(01:54):
which I love, and my family, which I love, right,
I mean, we're all thankful for our family, and we're
all thankful for the opportunity to work and in a
position that they love if they're in that position. But
what like new things am I really thankful for? And
I thought, you know what, it comes down to three things.
And I'll need to explain this because it's going to
(02:15):
sound odd. Are you ready? This year, I'm thankful for seed, oils, tariffs,
and trad wives. I like that as a teaser mister Finnity,
I am interesting to see where this goes seed oils,
tariffs and trad wives. And let me explain. I'm a
(02:37):
talk show host. I love language. I love the art
of conversation. I love discussion and debate, and I love
free speech. I like a living exercising the First Amendment.
So I like words, and I like putting words together
in sentences that make sense and then using those sentences
to engage in conversation with people for whom you agree
(02:57):
or disagree. But I'm really, really thankful that the Make
America Great Again movement incorporated Make America Healthy Again. We
wouldn't even be discussing health or maybe changes in dietary
guidelines or questioning again whether just eating a ribi is
(03:23):
better for you than you know, eating a vegetarian diet
if it were not for the Health Secretary Bobby Kennedy
RFK Junior, when he came out against seed oils, like
two years ago, before the Trump administration, before Make America
Healthy Again, before any of that, nobody ever talked about
(03:44):
seed oils. And then he brought it up, and people like,
what are you talking? What's a seed oil? I thought
canola oil was good. I thought, right, that sounds right.
It comes from a vegetable. I thought, corn oil is good. Well,
how can that be bad? I thought, you know, you know,
grape seed oil was a good thing, right Like, So
he started a conversation, an intelligible, thoughtful, deeply researched conversation
(04:09):
that started a discussion nationally about frying French fries in
seed oil, the way they did it at McDonald's and
other fast food restaurants back in the fifties and sixties,
where everybody went out for French fries, all the young people,
everyone had French fries. Everybody had French fries, and they
were all thin. Right. It was Kennedy that posted a
(04:31):
photograph of his dad, Robert Kennedy, and his uncle John F. Kennedy,
and they're like literally a twenty eight inch waist and
they're reading French fries. And he believes that it's because
we've changed the oils we use to fry and process
a lot of our foods, and it's making us very unhealthy.
(04:51):
It's inflaming us, and a lot of people have sworn
off seed oils and have reaped the benefits. I have
now understand inflammation with that all means, and so that
now you have to call it to question every single thing.
I see people on social media talking about eating you know,
(05:11):
nothing but protein and like really very little vegetables and
just a little fruit for fiber and living on it.
And so people are trying out different things and having success.
So we're having national conversations like we've never had before
about our health, and we'll live and learn, right, But
for the most part, we are better off that we
(05:33):
are having the conversation. So I'm grateful for the seag
oil debate because it sparked a much greater conversation about
something that's important to all of us. Republican, Democrat, independent, libertarian, vegetarian,
no matter what you are, you want to live longer,
and those years you're alive, you want to live healthier.
(05:54):
And so much of your health comes directly from what
you put in your mouth. And we all shop at
the same grocery store, So what are we supposed to do?
So having large, broad conversations not about vaccinations of children,
but about literally checking the label to see, is ay,
is there a barbecue sauce that's seed oil free, which
(06:14):
is what my sons now do. Is there a way
that we can get flavor without seed oils and added
sugar to dip this chicken breast in, right, So I'm
grateful for that. Tariffs is another one because tariff's is
an unpopular, un sexy word. Nobody knows what it means,
nobody wants to talk about it. It's an economic term,
(06:34):
and nobody likes it. So is it impossible to engage
in a discussion? For me? President Trump made tariffs a
national discussion and I welcome it. So now we can
have a national discussion because the President's imposing tariffs on
imported stuff and raising revenue from it. So now it's
opened up an ability whether you agree with him or not,
(06:55):
it's opened up an ability for us to have a
national discussion since we all know what the tariff thing means.
It means, oh, you're putting a tax on stuff coming in.
But isn't that tax going to get applied to us? Well,
the anti tariff people say yes, people like me say no.
And it allows for a broader conversation of how we
want to live here in America. Do we want to
(07:16):
protect American jobs by putting up walls tariffs against foreign
competition to double down on the American worker and make
things and make things that are made here more valuable
by making things made elsewhere with cheap labor and cheap
products more expensive and unattractive to the consumer. So I
(07:38):
am thankful for tariffs. I'm thankful that he brought it up.
I'm thankful that we're discussing it, even the people that
mischaracterize what a tariff does. The liars out there that
say tariff is a tax. That would be Congressman Mike Levin.
He's out there and mischaracterizing and misleading people and thinking
that a tariff is a tax. It is not. But
you know what, I'm happy to have him lie because
(07:59):
at least we're talking about it and I can expose
him as a liar and we can talk about it.
So I'm thankful for tariffs. The third one I'll tell
you about when we get back. But a lot of
people are worried about the discussion around the Thanksgiving table
because as we enter into the holiday season, it is
the most nerve racking time of year for single women
(08:21):
with long standing boyfriends, because everyone knows we're gonna talk
about you when you leave the table. When is he
going to propose so a lot of these women are
getting nervous, and I'll share with you what they're gonna
do about it. That's all coming up next. Lou Penrose

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Heylu get afternoon from Arizona. Just thankful for three things
if I have to, If only three is first the
re election of President Trump, cogo you and the first
Amendments so we can talk freely about our situations and thoughts.
And most importantly, the salvation of our soul through the
blood of the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ, which I give
(09:22):
thankfulness every day as everybody should. That's a Christian all right, Lou,
Love you, Happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Love you too, and thanks for listening in Arizona on
the iHeartRadio app. You see, but I bet you could
catch it at night. The signal carries. I appreciate the
call eight hundred and six hundred Cogo eight hundred, six
hundred and five six four six. And if you're listening
a live you can join us as the listener did
listening in Arizona on the iHeartRadio app. And you can
call us using the talkback mic. So are we going
(09:50):
to talk about Trump at the dinner table? Everybody says no,
no politics at the dinner table for Thanksgiving. Okay, what's
going to be the other discussion? Well, a lot of
people are worried that the trad wife movement might make
its way into the discussion, and that's going to freak
out a lot of the single daughters and nieces that
(10:16):
are dating.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
It's the revival and embrace of what is viewed as
traditional gender roles in the home. Mom minds the kids
in the house while the father brings in the income.
It's prolific, often romanticized on social media these days, as
women highlight the joys of staying homes now. Some view
this as very practical, a loving response to childcare struggles
and costs, also calling out the impossibility of truly.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Doing it all ninety style.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Others criticize the trend as regressive and not all that
traditional because modern influencers have a choice in the matter
and are romanticizing a very limited time period in history.
Also that many are monetizing the tradwife content there are
sharing that provider role.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah, so we've talked about the trad wife movement for
quite some times because we've spent a lot of time
talking about dating in San Diego and people trying to
find a good guy and girls trying to find the
right guy, and this and that and the other. And
you know, I have rules for single women if they
want to actually be married, and if you follow my rules,
(11:14):
you will get there no other way. And now it's
become mainstream and the tradwife movement, as she said, there
is women that are making it clear. Look, I don't
want to be an independent woman. I don't want my
own career. I am going to be open, clear and
unabashed about it. I want to be taken care of now.
(11:35):
I don't want to be a gold digger. I want
to be a homemaker. I want to have the kind
of life that like that either my mother had or
that I saw on TV growing up, where I'm in
the home. I don't have to worry about a job
or an income, and the partner I choose, whether it's
a man or a woman, is going to be the
(11:56):
bread winner. And then I make the home. And I
want children, and I want to be home with my children,
so I don't have to worry about childcare, and I
don't have to vote for Congresswoman Sarah Jacobs that is
always selling increased childcare tax deductions. I don't want to
worry about any of that because I don't have to
worry about childcare. I will care for my children. And
I want to learn how to cook, and I want
(12:18):
to host dinner parties and have friends over. And I
want to have time to work on my body and
my mind so I can be physically and mentally attractive
for my partner. Let's say my husband when he comes home,
so he runs home to me, doesn't want to go
out for drinks with the girls from the office. He
(12:40):
runs runs, runs back home to me because I'm looking fantastic, right, Like,
that's the tradwife movement, and a lot of women have
decided to eschew feminism and say, yeah, that sounds right,
that sounds good to me. But there's a lot of
blowback on social media. Here is one liberal white woman
(13:01):
who says, no, I'm not going to engage in the
tried wife movement because there are literally no good men
out there at all.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
I've never once.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Met a good man my entire life, going on in almost.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Thirty two years.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Okay, I've never met one genuinely good man.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
How about that, mister Finnerdy? Not one good man? So
where is she looking? She's thirty one, right, she's going
on thirty two years, and she's genuinely not met one
good man. And you can't see her, but she's she's
a cuity pie. Don't go for the earring in the nose,
(13:37):
but I know a lot of people do that.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Every single man I have encountered has done something absolutely
horrific and minimized it. Every single man that I've encountered
is a liar, is a perv, and does not see
women as humans. Every single man that I've ever encountered
is so far up the patriarchy.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Yeah, so far up the patriarchy. So that's a red
flag for me. I mean, the hatred is pretty thick,
so that's kind of a red flag. But the narcissist
in me would tend to engage just to find out
what it is that's making her so unhappy, and that's
my flaw. My therapist pointed that out to me many
years ago, that when you tend to be attracted to
(14:23):
somebody that is that unhappy because you think you can
make her happy, that's your narcissism talking to you, when
in reality, this is a very very damaged piece of
goods and you should run away from this if you're
looking for a spouse or even a girlfriend. But yeah,
when she says things like patriarchy, that's it's all over
(14:46):
and does not see.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Women as humans.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Every single man that I've ever encountered is so far
up the patriarchy.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yeah, when like patriarchy is a made up word by
women to complain to their girlfriends about why they can't
land a good man, when the reality is it's them.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
I have never met a good man, not my father.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I don't consider him a good man.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
All right, Stop that would be a problem. It might
be true your father might not be a good man.
But if that's true, then you wouldn't even refer to him.
You'd be over it. So the fact that you're still
mad at your father means probably he was a good
man and told you no.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Not my father. I don't consider him a good man.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
My brother's really not good men. My ex baby daddy
not a good man.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Ooh, another red flag. So there was So you haven't
found mister Wright, but apparently at least once you found
mister right now.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Really not good men. My ex baby daddy not a
good man.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Another red flag, Like there are no baby daddies, they're
called husbands. I don't know what I mean, baby daddy.
That's you shouldn't be saying that. So there you go.
That's the blowback that's happening on social media. Uh for
(16:13):
the uh the traad wife movement. And this is a
dangerous time of year for a lot of single women
because everybody is talking in the kitchen, Oh, is he
gonna they've been dating for three years. Is he gonna
propose this year? Maybe he's gonna propose at dinner. Maybe
he'll propose on Christmas Eve. She invited him, and then
you know, the Thanksgiving dinner's over, and then Christmas Eve
comes and goes, and then there's no ring under the
(16:35):
tree on Christmas morning, and then well, maybe he's proposing
under Year's Eve. That's what they like to do, so
they always remember it. And then you know, the New
Year's Eve comes and goes, and the ball drops and
there's no proposal, and everybody just holds on till Valentine's Day.
And this is a real heartbreaking time of year for
a lot of single women that are looking for proposals.
(16:56):
So we'll share more of this with you when we
get back. Lupen on news radio six hundred co goo

picks up the tickets. Good luck. Talking about your Thanksgiving dinner,
the conversation around the table will either be the affordability
(17:38):
of Thanksgiving this year or so who's getting proposed to?
And a lot of single women are a little worried
about having that discussion around the Thanksgiving Day table.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
It's the revival and embrace of what is viewed as
traditional gender roles in the home. Mom minds the kids
in the house while the father brings in the ink.
It's prolific, often romanticized on social media these days, as
women highlight the joys of staying home. Now, some of you,
this is very practical, a loving response to child care
struggles and costs, also calling out the impossibility of truly
doing it all.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Yep, that's my wife's thing. She learned that mid life.
She realized that you can't do it all. She's like,
you can't. You can have it all, you just can't
have it all at the same time. So you cannot
be a full time working professional and a wife and
a mother because you will fail at all three. You
(18:37):
always fail. You'll be a failure of a mother, a
failure of a wife, and a failure at your career.
You because you can't. You just can't serve all three.
So that's the visition my wife has. But people are
still trying, and as I said, there's a lot of
people out there that just not into it and are
swearing off men all together, single women anyway, I've.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Never met a good man. Not my father, I don't
consider him a good man. My brother's really not good men.
My ex baby daddy.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Not a good man.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
So here's one reaction to this whole trad wife movement.
Is a woman cute. I mean, she's definitely you know,
she's got the kill, little face, beautiful hair, the little
body going on thirty one years old, but can't seem
to find a good man.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
All of my male family members horrible people. All of
my past male colleagues, all of my male instructors, professors,
all of them are horrible, horrible. There is no such
thing as a good man. And if you think you're
a good man, please explain why.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Oh I can tell you why I'm a good man.
It's because I'm not having sex with you.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Lou Why don't you just run the other way once
you heard that voice?
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Oh my goodness, do all white crazy women sound that way?
Every man I've.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Met has done something bad and terrible in their life. Yeah,
she does have that Southern California affectation. Now, look. Reacting
to the idea that maybe marriage might be the solution
to her problem. If you want to hear crazy liberal
white women, I have one for you.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
I hate being in my twenties. I hate going to work.
I don't want a job. I don't want to work.
I hate not working. I hate everything. I hate breathing,
I hate sleeping, I hate waking up.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
I just hate everything.
Speaker 7 (20:24):
I hate our president, I hate the world, I hate people,
I hate everything.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yep, she had to get in the president. I noticed
that she got in the president. She hates working, she
hates not working, she hates waking up, she hates sleeping.
But she also hates the president and given her well,
let's put it this way, based on my psychiatric evaluation,
who is president? Really, isn't your biggest problem?
Speaker 7 (20:53):
My love the big elephant in the room about all
of these feminists who think that the tad.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Wife is so evil, etc.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
It's artificial that women can have sex without fear of.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
Getting pregnant because of the pill. The pill has changed everything,
and it's made the hormonal balance different, so they prefer
the little, meek beta males.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
There's just so many things that are different.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
It's all artificial, so it is more natural to be traded.
I appreciate the call I'm not going to lay the
blame at the feet of contraception, because there are women
who can't take oral contraception and use other methods and
are still bitter and can't seem to date and can't
(21:40):
seem to find a mate, and are unhappy and vote Democrats.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
Hey, Lou, I was wondering if I could get the
phone number of that young man that calls in and
said he was thankful for President Trump and for Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I'd like to give his number to my daughter.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
What a wonderful young man.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I appreciate the call. We have not yet done, Lou Penrose,
dial a date, mister Finnerdy. I don't know if that's
an element we can incorporate. I don't know. I know
that George Norrie has a lot of success with his
alien dial a Date. This is where people that listen
(22:16):
to you know, aliens and spaceship and anal probes that
you know, they find men and women who have that
in common, and you know, find love through a joint
you know, through it. Yeah, just the joint appreciation for
a singular program. Uh No, it's a He's an Arizona,
(22:40):
That's all I know. Look, there are a lot of
guys out there that are thankful for President Trump. President
Trump one because of white guys on college campuses no
longer listening to their girlfriends and deciding that this guy's great.
And frankly, Charlie Kirk did a lot to advance it.
(23:04):
But Charlie Kirk would not have been successful if there
wasn't a President Trump to point two and the rest
is history. But look, my rules are very simple for
you single women. And if you follow them, and maybe
it's time to get them out again. The audience is
always growing. We're going into the holiday season. Look, here's
(23:26):
the thing. If you are in a relationship with somebody,
and I don't even like that phraseology, but it makes
sense for the purposes of communication and broadcasting. Right, If
you're in a relationship with somebody and you wish to
be a married woman, then if this is your if
this is the one, If this is the one that
(23:47):
you want to spend your life with, you want to
have children with, You want to build a life, a house,
build wealth with and then retire early and then fly
around the country visiting grandchildren. If that's the life you want,
then there's only one way to do it. And that
is if this is your love interest and you're not
getting a proposal in eighteen months, and when I mean
(24:08):
a proposal, I mean a ring and a date. If
you're not getting a ring and a date on Christmas
Eve or New Year's Eve or Valentine's Day, then it's
bye bye fella, and you move on, regardless of how
much time you invest. Oh, but we invested so much
in each other, We've spent so much time together, we
know each other so well, it's just not gonna happen.
(24:29):
So all that will happen is that you will grow older,
and statistically speaking, you will be five If you wait
five years, you'll be five years older, poorer statistically, and
just as unmarried. So you need to be active in
your pursuit of your life mate, and you need to
be diligent and really forward leaning. And that's why my
(24:53):
rules are number one rule. There are no boyfriends after
the age of twenty one boyfriends A boyfriend is a
lyric in a nineteen fifties pop song. After the age
of twenty one, there are only three things are There
is a date, there is a fiance, and there is
a husband. No boyfriend. It's frankly kind of creepy people
(25:17):
women in their forties talking about their boyfriend. There are
no boyfriends. It's just some guy. It's a friend. You
either have a date, a fiance, or a husband. That's
rule number one. Rule number two. Until you have a fiance,
you should have many dates with many suitors. Many people
can't competing for your interest, and you need to let
(25:40):
everybody know that you're on a date with somebody else,
every other male suitor. So when you run into somebody
at a Christmas contail party and you're single and you
hit it off, maybe you're set up and talk to
this guy. You like him, and you do like him,
and you think maybe there's a possibility there. He's says,
that's great. What are you doing Friday? I like to
(26:03):
take you out. Here's your answer. Write this down. I
am busy Friday, I have a date. I am nevertheless
available Saturday. Let me say it again. Hey, you're really great.
I'm really glad we met. I'd like to take you
(26:23):
out to see you again. What are you doing Friday?
I am busy Friday, I have a date. I am
nevertheless available another time. If you answer it like that,
you will change the power completely. He all of a
sudden thinks, wait a minute, you're going on another date
with another man. I might lose you, I might miss
(26:45):
the opportunity to build something with you. And now he'll
compete and trust me, on that Friday night, he's going
to be thinking about you, which is what you want,
and you want to have that. You want to have
a date on Friday night. You want a date on
Saturday night. You want to go to Sunday bottomless mimosas
and with three different guys. You don't have to sleep
with all of them. That's your business, but make sure
(27:06):
all three of those guys know that you're out with
another suitor that is competing for your interest, and the
a game will come from the guys. There you go.
That's the lessons of life. Were single women who wish
to be married? From your old buddy, Luigi, I gotta
be stray with you. Remember I am a terrible girlfriend,
(27:28):
but I'm an excellent big brother. Lou Penrose on news

I'm looking at the monitors here in the Cogo studios.
(27:49):
When I'm done, I got to head out to Palm
Springs to celebrate my holiday with the family that are
already out there. And uh, it's not looking good. Subject
in dating, you're old, You're an idiot. You know what
you're talking about, and the Karan's deserved to be who
they are.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
Well, give it up.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
You're not an advice counselor for weddings or marriages.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
You don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Bro, Yeah, I appreciate the call. I do know what
I'm talking about. You continue to do whatever you want.
I know women that have taken my advice and have flourished.
There are women in San Diego that want me to
write a book so that they can remember what I
say and have all my rules together in one space.
And we've looked into that. I just haven't had time
(28:33):
because I spent like the last six weeks wrestling with
my new computer. Lou you left out friends with benefits.
Isn't that still a thing? Friends with benefits? I think
you should include that loop. So that's interesting. I appreciate
the call that was never a thing but was always
a thing. Let me explain the title friends with Benefits
(28:53):
is ridiculus benefits. Who benefits from the friends with benefits relationship?
Like the Netflix and Chill? Who benefits? It's always the
girls house that you go to, so she hosts literally
and figuratively, and then you leave. You get all the benefits,
(29:15):
she gets none. But girls could have always done that.
I mean, girls can do whatever they want. These rules
are and I make these conditions very clear from the
onset because I always get so much feedback from women
that get angry with me. These rules are specifically for
women who have concluded they're fed up, they're done just
(29:36):
not working for them, and they're like, Uncle Lou, I
want to be a married woman, Tell me what to do.
These rules are for women that wish to be a
married woman. If you want to be unmarried and continue
to have a boyfriend that will never marry you and
have him live in your house, and you will just
(29:58):
get older, poorer, and just as I'm married, then just
continue doing what you're doing because that's what will result.
You'll just die alone. But that's what you choose. If
you wish to have a husband, then you need to
follow my rules. And I would argue that there are
(30:18):
no rules. Better, I think my rules are concrete, and
I am thinking about that book. I just not exactly
sure when I'm going to do it, since those things
take time and no ghostwriter could do it well. And well,
we'll see the lots. Look, twenty twenty six is going
to be a spectacular year for Cogo, for lou Penrose,
(30:39):
for America. I'm looking forward to it. That's why this
year's holiday season is going to be the best one.
I want Conway and Larson. Hello right here, Ray Larson,
I hope so yeah, Look, I hope you feel that
way too. I'm looking forward to the future I've never
had before. I feel like the opposite of the way
I did during COVID. Well, I want a big Thanksgiving dinner.
(31:00):
I want a taller Christmas tree this year. I want
more lights in my house. I want more people over.
I want bigger Martini glasses. I mean I want it.
I want to go big. Yes, if you got it,
we want it for I'll tell you what.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
And this Thanksgiving, you know, with stuff I went through
this year, here Conway and Larson to Larson here sharing
some of the journey. You know that I didn't think
this is going to be the year of chemo and lymphoma.
But I've gotten past that, and thank God that has
given me a whole sharper sense of Thanksgiving in the
most amazing ways.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I don't wish it on anybody.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
I don't want to go through it again, but I
have a whole fresh I'm gonna look at even the
stuff I don't like to eat on Thanksgiving and we
go that looks great.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
I'll have something. You know, I'm happy to hear that.
I'm happy for your health, but I'm happy that there
was a believe a positive impact. Oh yeah, I'm having
something so negative happened to you?
Speaker 6 (31:50):
Yeah? Absolutely because and thanks to my my art teacher
and hiking buddy Kenda, who for years kind of said,
appreciate what's right, take take a minute and break You know,
people always tell you that, I'll tell you this. After
the six months almost six months of chemo that ended
back in August and now being onto recovery, thank God,
(32:10):
the birds sing differently, the colors are brighter. I spent
a lot of time out on the back deck by
my backyard pool this summer going like wow, look at
those butterflies or the hawks that showed up out of nowhere,
the baby hawks that decided to take a bath in
the pool. It's like, this is a show. I never
would have seen that before without that and this is.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
This would be the first Thanksgiving for Mark Larsen posts
that experience like right with with fresh eyeballs, that's fresh. Well,
I you know what I I want you. I want
you to experience it with us like I want you
to to narrate that that level.
Speaker 6 (32:46):
And that's why I'm going to have a martine with
you virtually tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
All right, very good, it's a date with a diving board.
Speaker 6 (32:52):
Well tonight, obviously we're dealing with what's going on in
the nation's capital. I think Conway is standing by every
med's mic on here as well. It's been a horrible
day in terms of the shooting of the National Guard
soldiers and the mixed messages and the news it was
out of the West Virginia governor and so forth. We're
going to talk to a guest next hour at six
point thirty five, Rob Chadwick, who is a former tactical
trainer for the FBI with reaction. But are we to
(33:14):
the point now where the rhetoric has caused this today?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Probably?
Speaker 6 (33:18):
So we're going to get into that coming up and
more plus Thanksgiving Fun on the second hour after seven until.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Coming up next Kamrae Larson take it from here. Have
yourselves a fantastic Thanksgiving. I'll see you next week. Louke
Penrose on news Radio six hundred co Go and live
on the iHeartRadio app.
Blue Penrose on News Radio six hundred co Go. We
are live in San Diego. Thank you for tuning in.
Good to have you along with us. Happy Wednesday. It's
the get out of town Wednesday. Yesterday they said was
the busiest travel day. But from these traffic reports and
looking at these monitors here in the COG studios of
the fifteen North then South, everybody's trying to get somewhere else.
(00:26):
So whether you're on the fifteen, the eight oh five
to five to eight, wherever you are and listening to
co Go first, stay tuned to news Radio six hundred
Cogo for the latest in traffic editions, accident reports, weather forecasts.
Although we're just going to have gorgeous weather. That's the
forecast spectacular, but also updated news and your favorite afternoon
(00:52):
drive talk show host, your buddy Luigi. So that's a
good way to let the time go by as you're
getting to where you need to go. I wanted to
spend some time in this hour to do a little
Thanksgiving talk. There's you know a lot of people talk
about you know, the history of Thanksgiving and what they're
(01:13):
thankful for and all those things, and I thought, all right,
well I'll take a stab at it, and then open
the phone lines to see how you feel and if
you want to add to it or share what you're
thankful for. Going a little off script on the news
of the day, as we await updated information of the
tragedy of these two National guardsmen, and we'll bring that
(01:33):
to you. That's really the top story. But there's a
lot of talk about, you know, taking stock of the country,
taking stock of our family, taking stock of ourselves. And
I thought about it, and I said, all right, I'll
take a stab about it. I have three things that
I want to share that I'm really thankful for. And
I mean this is with the exception of my work,
(01:54):
which I love, and my family, which I love, right,
I mean, we're all thankful for our family, and we're
all thankful for the opportunity to work and in a
position that they love if they're in that position. But
what like new things am I really thankful for? And
I thought, you know what, it comes down to three things.
And I'll need to explain this because it's going to
(02:15):
sound odd. Are you ready? This year, I'm thankful for seed, oils, tariffs,
and trad wives. I like that as a teaser mister Finnity,
I am interesting to see where this goes seed oils,
tariffs and trad wives. And let me explain. I'm a
(02:37):
talk show host. I love language. I love the art
of conversation. I love discussion and debate, and I love
free speech. I like a living exercising the First Amendment.
So I like words, and I like putting words together
in sentences that make sense and then using those sentences
to engage in conversation with people for whom you agree
(02:57):
or disagree. But I'm really, really thankful that the Make
America Great Again movement incorporated Make America Healthy Again. We
wouldn't even be discussing health or maybe changes in dietary
guidelines or questioning again whether just eating a ribi is
(03:23):
better for you than you know, eating a vegetarian diet
if it were not for the Health Secretary Bobby Kennedy
RFK Junior, when he came out against seed oils, like
two years ago, before the Trump administration, before Make America
Healthy Again, before any of that, nobody ever talked about
(03:44):
seed oils. And then he brought it up, and people like,
what are you talking? What's a seed oil? I thought
canola oil was good. I thought, right, that sounds right.
It comes from a vegetable. I thought, corn oil is good. Well,
how can that be bad? I thought, you know, you know,
grape seed oil was a good thing, right Like, So
he started a conversation, an intelligible, thoughtful, deeply researched conversation
(04:09):
that started a discussion nationally about frying French fries in
seed oil, the way they did it at McDonald's and
other fast food restaurants back in the fifties and sixties,
where everybody went out for French fries, all the young people,
everyone had French fries. Everybody had French fries, and they
were all thin. Right. It was Kennedy that posted a
(04:31):
photograph of his dad, Robert Kennedy, and his uncle John F. Kennedy,
and they're like literally a twenty eight inch waist and
they're reading French fries. And he believes that it's because
we've changed the oils we use to fry and process
a lot of our foods, and it's making us very unhealthy.
(04:51):
It's inflaming us, and a lot of people have sworn
off seed oils and have reaped the benefits. I have
now understand inflammation with that all means, and so that
now you have to call it to question every single thing.
I see people on social media talking about eating you know,
(05:11):
nothing but protein and like really very little vegetables and
just a little fruit for fiber and living on it.
And so people are trying out different things and having success.
So we're having national conversations like we've never had before
about our health, and we'll live and learn, right, But
for the most part, we are better off that we
(05:33):
are having the conversation. So I'm grateful for the seag
oil debate because it sparked a much greater conversation about
something that's important to all of us. Republican, Democrat, independent, libertarian, vegetarian,
no matter what you are, you want to live longer,
and those years you're alive, you want to live healthier.
(05:54):
And so much of your health comes directly from what
you put in your mouth. And we all shop at
the same grocery store, So what are we supposed to do?
So having large, broad conversations not about vaccinations of children,
but about literally checking the label to see, is ay,
is there a barbecue sauce that's seed oil free, which
(06:14):
is what my sons now do. Is there a way
that we can get flavor without seed oils and added
sugar to dip this chicken breast in, right, So I'm
grateful for that. Tariffs is another one because tariff's is
an unpopular, un sexy word. Nobody knows what it means,
nobody wants to talk about it. It's an economic term,
(06:34):
and nobody likes it. So is it impossible to engage
in a discussion? For me? President Trump made tariffs a
national discussion and I welcome it. So now we can
have a national discussion because the President's imposing tariffs on
imported stuff and raising revenue from it. So now it's
opened up an ability whether you agree with him or not,
(06:55):
it's opened up an ability for us to have a
national discussion since we all know what the tariff thing means.
It means, oh, you're putting a tax on stuff coming in.
But isn't that tax going to get applied to us? Well,
the anti tariff people say yes, people like me say no.
And it allows for a broader conversation of how we
want to live here in America. Do we want to
(07:16):
protect American jobs by putting up walls tariffs against foreign
competition to double down on the American worker and make
things and make things that are made here more valuable
by making things made elsewhere with cheap labor and cheap
products more expensive and unattractive to the consumer. So I
(07:38):
am thankful for tariffs. I'm thankful that he brought it up.
I'm thankful that we're discussing it, even the people that
mischaracterize what a tariff does. The liars out there that
say tariff is a tax. That would be Congressman Mike Levin.
He's out there and mischaracterizing and misleading people and thinking
that a tariff is a tax. It is not. But
you know what, I'm happy to have him lie because
(07:59):
at least we're talking about it and I can expose
him as a liar and we can talk about it.
So I'm thankful for tariffs. The third one I'll tell
you about when we get back. But a lot of
people are worried about the discussion around the Thanksgiving table
because as we enter into the holiday season, it is
the most nerve racking time of year for single women
(08:21):
with long standing boyfriends, because everyone knows we're gonna talk
about you when you leave the table. When is he
going to propose so a lot of these women are
getting nervous, and I'll share with you what they're gonna
do about it. That's all coming up next. Lou Penrose

Heylu get afternoon from Arizona. Just thankful for three things
if I have to, If only three is first the
re election of President Trump, cogo you and the first
Amendments so we can talk freely about our situations and thoughts.
And most importantly, the salvation of our soul through the
blood of the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ, which I give
(09:22):
thankfulness every day as everybody should. That's a Christian all right, Lou,
Love you, Happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Love you too, and thanks for listening in Arizona on

hundred and five six four six. And if you're listening

listening in Arizona on the iHeartRadio app. And you can
call us using the talkback mic. So are we going
(09:50):
to talk about Trump at the dinner table? Everybody says no,
no politics at the dinner table for Thanksgiving. Okay, what's
going to be the other discussion? Well, a lot of
people are worried that the trad wife movement might make
its way into the discussion, and that's going to freak
out a lot of the single daughters and nieces that
(10:16):
are dating.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
It's the revival and embrace of what is viewed as
traditional gender roles in the home. Mom minds the kids
in the house while the father brings in the income.
It's prolific, often romanticized on social media these days, as
women highlight the joys of staying homes now. Some view
this as very practical, a loving response to childcare struggles
and costs, also calling out the impossibility of truly.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Doing it all ninety style.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Others criticize the trend as regressive and not all that
traditional because modern influencers have a choice in the matter
and are romanticizing a very limited time period in history.
Also that many are monetizing the tradwife content there are
sharing that provider role.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah, so we've talked about the trad wife movement for
quite some times because we've spent a lot of time
talking about dating in San Diego and people trying to
find a good guy and girls trying to find the
right guy, and this and that and the other. And
you know, I have rules for single women if they
want to actually be married, and if you follow my rules,
(11:14):
you will get there no other way. And now it's
become mainstream and the tradwife movement, as she said, there
is women that are making it clear. Look, I don't
want to be an independent woman. I don't want my
own career. I am going to be open, clear and
unabashed about it. I want to be taken care of now.
(11:35):
I don't want to be a gold digger. I want
to be a homemaker. I want to have the kind
of life that like that either my mother had or
that I saw on TV growing up, where I'm in
the home. I don't have to worry about a job
or an income, and the partner I choose, whether it's
a man or a woman, is going to be the
(11:56):
bread winner. And then I make the home. And I
want children, and I want to be home with my children,
so I don't have to worry about childcare, and I
don't have to vote for Congresswoman Sarah Jacobs that is
always selling increased childcare tax deductions. I don't want to
worry about any of that because I don't have to
worry about childcare. I will care for my children. And
I want to learn how to cook, and I want
(12:18):
to host dinner parties and have friends over. And I
want to have time to work on my body and
my mind so I can be physically and mentally attractive
for my partner. Let's say my husband when he comes home,
so he runs home to me, doesn't want to go
out for drinks with the girls from the office. He
(12:40):
runs runs, runs back home to me because I'm looking fantastic, right, Like,
that's the tradwife movement, and a lot of women have
decided to eschew feminism and say, yeah, that sounds right,
that sounds good to me. But there's a lot of
blowback on social media. Here is one liberal white woman
(13:01):
who says, no, I'm not going to engage in the
tried wife movement because there are literally no good men
out there at all.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
I've never once.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Met a good man my entire life, going on in almost.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Thirty two years.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Okay, I've never met one genuinely good man.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
How about that, mister Finnerdy? Not one good man? So
where is she looking? She's thirty one, right, she's going
on thirty two years, and she's genuinely not met one
good man. And you can't see her, but she's she's
a cuity pie. Don't go for the earring in the nose,
(13:37):
but I know a lot of people do that.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Every single man I have encountered has done something absolutely
horrific and minimized it. Every single man that I've encountered
is a liar, is a perv, and does not see
women as humans. Every single man that I've ever encountered
is so far up the patriarchy.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Yeah, so far up the patriarchy. So that's a red
flag for me. I mean, the hatred is pretty thick,
so that's kind of a red flag. But the narcissist
in me would tend to engage just to find out
what it is that's making her so unhappy, and that's
my flaw. My therapist pointed that out to me many
years ago, that when you tend to be attracted to
(14:23):
somebody that is that unhappy because you think you can
make her happy, that's your narcissism talking to you, when
in reality, this is a very very damaged piece of
goods and you should run away from this if you're
looking for a spouse or even a girlfriend. But yeah,
when she says things like patriarchy, that's it's all over
(14:46):
and does not see.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Women as humans.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Every single man that I've ever encountered is so far
up the patriarchy.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yeah, when like patriarchy is a made up word by
women to complain to their girlfriends about why they can't
land a good man, when the reality is it's them.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
I have never met a good man, not my father.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I don't consider him a good man.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
All right, Stop that would be a problem. It might
be true your father might not be a good man.
But if that's true, then you wouldn't even refer to him.
You'd be over it. So the fact that you're still
mad at your father means probably he was a good
man and told you no.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Not my father. I don't consider him a good man.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
My brother's really not good men. My ex baby daddy
not a good man.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Ooh, another red flag. So there was So you haven't
found mister Wright, but apparently at least once you found
mister right now.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Really not good men. My ex baby daddy not a
good man.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Another red flag, Like there are no baby daddies, they're
called husbands. I don't know what I mean, baby daddy.
That's you shouldn't be saying that. So there you go.
That's the blowback that's happening on social media. Uh for
(16:13):
the uh the traad wife movement. And this is a
dangerous time of year for a lot of single women
because everybody is talking in the kitchen, Oh, is he
gonna they've been dating for three years. Is he gonna
propose this year? Maybe he's gonna propose at dinner. Maybe
he'll propose on Christmas Eve. She invited him, and then
you know, the Thanksgiving dinner's over, and then Christmas Eve
comes and goes, and then there's no ring under the
(16:35):
tree on Christmas morning, and then well, maybe he's proposing
under Year's Eve. That's what they like to do, so
they always remember it. And then you know, the New
Year's Eve comes and goes, and the ball drops and
there's no proposal, and everybody just holds on till Valentine's Day.
And this is a real heartbreaking time of year for
a lot of single women that are looking for proposals.
(16:56):
So we'll share more of this with you when we
get back. Lupen on news radio six hundred co goo
and live on the iHeartRadio app. Blu Penrose on news

the conversation around the table will either be the affordability
(17:38):
of Thanksgiving this year or so who's getting proposed to?
And a lot of single women are a little worried
about having that discussion around the Thanksgiving Day table.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
It's the revival and embrace of what is viewed as
traditional gender roles in the home. Mom minds the kids
in the house while the father brings in the ink.
It's prolific, often romanticized on social media these days, as
women highlight the joys of staying home. Now, some of you,
this is very practical, a loving response to child care
struggles and costs, also calling out the impossibility of truly
doing it all.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Yep, that's my wife's thing. She learned that mid life.
She realized that you can't do it all. She's like,
you can't. You can have it all, you just can't
have it all at the same time. So you cannot
be a full time working professional and a wife and
a mother because you will fail at all three. You
(18:37):
always fail. You'll be a failure of a mother, a
failure of a wife, and a failure at your career.
You because you can't. You just can't serve all three.
So that's the visition my wife has. But people are
still trying, and as I said, there's a lot of
people out there that just not into it and are
swearing off men all together, single women anyway, I've.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Never met a good man. Not my father, I don't
consider him a good man. My brother's really not good men.
My ex baby daddy.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Not a good man.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
So here's one reaction to this whole trad wife movement.
Is a woman cute. I mean, she's definitely you know,
she's got the kill, little face, beautiful hair, the little
body going on thirty one years old, but can't seem
to find a good man.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
All of my male family members horrible people. All of
my past male colleagues, all of my male instructors, professors,
all of them are horrible, horrible. There is no such
thing as a good man. And if you think you're
a good man, please explain why.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Oh I can tell you why I'm a good man.
It's because I'm not having sex with you.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Lou Why don't you just run the other way once
you heard that voice?
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Oh my goodness, do all white crazy women sound that way?
Every man I've.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Met has done something bad and terrible in their life. Yeah,
she does have that Southern California affectation. Now, look. Reacting
to the idea that maybe marriage might be the solution
to her problem. If you want to hear crazy liberal
white women, I have one for you.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
I hate being in my twenties. I hate going to work.
I don't want a job. I don't want to work.
I hate not working. I hate everything. I hate breathing,
I hate sleeping, I hate waking up.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
I just hate everything.
Speaker 7 (20:24):
I hate our president, I hate the world, I hate people,
I hate everything.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yep, she had to get in the president. I noticed
that she got in the president. She hates working, she
hates not working, she hates waking up, she hates sleeping.
But she also hates the president and given her well,
let's put it this way, based on my psychiatric evaluation,
who is president? Really, isn't your biggest problem?
Speaker 7 (20:53):
My love the big elephant in the room about all
of these feminists who think that the tad.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Wife is so evil, etc.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
It's artificial that women can have sex without fear of.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
Getting pregnant because of the pill. The pill has changed everything,
and it's made the hormonal balance different, so they prefer
the little, meek beta males.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
There's just so many things that are different.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
It's all artificial, so it is more natural to be traded.
I appreciate the call I'm not going to lay the
blame at the feet of contraception, because there are women
who can't take oral contraception and use other methods and
are still bitter and can't seem to date and can't
(21:40):
seem to find a mate, and are unhappy and vote Democrats.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
Hey, Lou, I was wondering if I could get the
phone number of that young man that calls in and
said he was thankful for President Trump and for Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I'd like to give his number to my daughter.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
What a wonderful young man.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I appreciate the call. We have not yet done, Lou Penrose,
dial a date, mister Finnerdy. I don't know if that's
an element we can incorporate. I don't know. I know
that George Norrie has a lot of success with his
alien dial a Date. This is where people that listen
(22:16):
to you know, aliens and spaceship and anal probes that
you know, they find men and women who have that
in common, and you know, find love through a joint
you know, through it. Yeah, just the joint appreciation for
a singular program. Uh No, it's a He's an Arizona,
(22:40):
That's all I know. Look, there are a lot of
guys out there that are thankful for President Trump. President
Trump one because of white guys on college campuses no
longer listening to their girlfriends and deciding that this guy's great.
And frankly, Charlie Kirk did a lot to advance it.
(23:04):
But Charlie Kirk would not have been successful if there
wasn't a President Trump to point two and the rest
is history. But look, my rules are very simple for
you single women. And if you follow them, and maybe
it's time to get them out again. The audience is
always growing. We're going into the holiday season. Look, here's
(23:26):
the thing. If you are in a relationship with somebody,
and I don't even like that phraseology, but it makes
sense for the purposes of communication and broadcasting. Right, If
you're in a relationship with somebody and you wish to
be a married woman, then if this is your if
this is the one, If this is the one that
(23:47):
you want to spend your life with, you want to
have children with, You want to build a life, a house,
build wealth with and then retire early and then fly
around the country visiting grandchildren. If that's the life you want,
then there's only one way to do it. And that
is if this is your love interest and you're not
getting a proposal in eighteen months, and when I mean
(24:08):
a proposal, I mean a ring and a date. If
you're not getting a ring and a date on Christmas
Eve or New Year's Eve or Valentine's Day, then it's
bye bye fella, and you move on, regardless of how
much time you invest. Oh, but we invested so much
in each other, We've spent so much time together, we
know each other so well, it's just not gonna happen.
(24:29):
So all that will happen is that you will grow older,
and statistically speaking, you will be five If you wait
five years, you'll be five years older, poorer statistically, and
just as unmarried. So you need to be active in
your pursuit of your life mate, and you need to
be diligent and really forward leaning. And that's why my
(24:53):
rules are number one rule. There are no boyfriends after
the age of twenty one boyfriends A boyfriend is a
lyric in a nineteen fifties pop song. After the age
of twenty one, there are only three things are There
is a date, there is a fiance, and there is
a husband. No boyfriend. It's frankly kind of creepy people
(25:17):
women in their forties talking about their boyfriend. There are
no boyfriends. It's just some guy. It's a friend. You
either have a date, a fiance, or a husband. That's
rule number one. Rule number two. Until you have a fiance,
you should have many dates with many suitors. Many people
can't competing for your interest, and you need to let
(25:40):
everybody know that you're on a date with somebody else,
every other male suitor. So when you run into somebody
at a Christmas contail party and you're single and you
hit it off, maybe you're set up and talk to
this guy. You like him, and you do like him,
and you think maybe there's a possibility there. He's says,
that's great. What are you doing Friday? I like to
(26:03):
take you out. Here's your answer. Write this down. I
am busy Friday, I have a date. I am nevertheless
available Saturday. Let me say it again. Hey, you're really great.
I'm really glad we met. I'd like to take you
(26:23):
out to see you again. What are you doing Friday?
I am busy Friday, I have a date. I am
nevertheless available another time. If you answer it like that,
you will change the power completely. He all of a
sudden thinks, wait a minute, you're going on another date
with another man. I might lose you, I might miss
(26:45):
the opportunity to build something with you. And now he'll
compete and trust me, on that Friday night, he's going
to be thinking about you, which is what you want,
and you want to have that. You want to have
a date on Friday night. You want a date on
Saturday night. You want to go to Sunday bottomless mimosas
and with three different guys. You don't have to sleep
with all of them. That's your business, but make sure
(27:06):
all three of those guys know that you're out with
another suitor that is competing for your interest, and the
a game will come from the guys. There you go.
That's the lessons of life. Were single women who wish
to be married? From your old buddy, Luigi, I gotta
be stray with you. Remember I am a terrible girlfriend,
(27:28):
but I'm an excellent big brother. Lou Penrose on news

I'm looking at the monitors here in the Cogo studios.
(27:49):
When I'm done, I got to head out to Palm
Springs to celebrate my holiday with the family that are
already out there. And uh, it's not looking good. Subject
in dating, you're old, You're an idiot. You know what
you're talking about, and the Karan's deserved to be who
they are.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
Well, give it up.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
You're not an advice counselor for weddings or marriages.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
You don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Bro, Yeah, I appreciate the call. I do know what
I'm talking about. You continue to do whatever you want.
I know women that have taken my advice and have flourished.
There are women in San Diego that want me to
write a book so that they can remember what I
say and have all my rules together in one space.
And we've looked into that. I just haven't had time
(28:33):
because I spent like the last six weeks wrestling with
my new computer. Lou you left out friends with benefits.
Isn't that still a thing? Friends with benefits? I think
you should include that loop. So that's interesting. I appreciate
the call that was never a thing but was always
a thing. Let me explain the title friends with Benefits
(28:53):
is ridiculus benefits. Who benefits from the friends with benefits relationship?
Like the Netflix and Chill? Who benefits? It's always the
girls house that you go to, so she hosts literally
and figuratively, and then you leave. You get all the benefits,
(29:15):
she gets none. But girls could have always done that.
I mean, girls can do whatever they want. These rules
are and I make these conditions very clear from the
onset because I always get so much feedback from women
that get angry with me. These rules are specifically for
women who have concluded they're fed up, they're done just
(29:36):
not working for them, and they're like, Uncle Lou, I
want to be a married woman, Tell me what to do.
These rules are for women that wish to be a
married woman. If you want to be unmarried and continue
to have a boyfriend that will never marry you and
have him live in your house, and you will just
(29:58):
get older, poorer, and just as I'm married, then just
continue doing what you're doing because that's what will result.
You'll just die alone. But that's what you choose. If
you wish to have a husband, then you need to
follow my rules. And I would argue that there are
(30:18):
no rules. Better, I think my rules are concrete, and
I am thinking about that book. I just not exactly
sure when I'm going to do it, since those things
take time and no ghostwriter could do it well. And well,
we'll see the lots. Look, twenty twenty six is going
to be a spectacular year for Cogo, for lou Penrose,
(30:39):
for America. I'm looking forward to it. That's why this
year's holiday season is going to be the best one.
I want Conway and Larson. Hello right here, Ray Larson,
I hope so yeah, Look, I hope you feel that
way too. I'm looking forward to the future I've never
had before. I feel like the opposite of the way
I did during COVID. Well, I want a big Thanksgiving dinner.
(31:00):
I want a taller Christmas tree this year. I want
more lights in my house. I want more people over.
I want bigger Martini glasses. I mean I want it.
I want to go big. Yes, if you got it,
we want it for I'll tell you what.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
And this Thanksgiving, you know, with stuff I went through
this year, here Conway and Larson to Larson here sharing
some of the journey. You know that I didn't think
this is going to be the year of chemo and lymphoma.
But I've gotten past that, and thank God that has
given me a whole sharper sense of Thanksgiving in the
most amazing ways.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I don't wish it on anybody.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
I don't want to go through it again, but I
have a whole fresh I'm gonna look at even the
stuff I don't like to eat on Thanksgiving and we
go that looks great.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
I'll have something. You know, I'm happy to hear that.
I'm happy for your health, but I'm happy that there
was a believe a positive impact. Oh yeah, I'm having
something so negative happened to you?
Speaker 6 (31:50):
Yeah? Absolutely because and thanks to my my art teacher
and hiking buddy Kenda, who for years kind of said,
appreciate what's right, take take a minute and break You know,
people always tell you that, I'll tell you this. After
the six months almost six months of chemo that ended
back in August and now being onto recovery, thank God,
(32:10):
the birds sing differently, the colors are brighter. I spent
a lot of time out on the back deck by
my backyard pool this summer going like wow, look at
those butterflies or the hawks that showed up out of nowhere,
the baby hawks that decided to take a bath in
the pool. It's like, this is a show. I never
would have seen that before without that and this is.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
This would be the first Thanksgiving for Mark Larsen posts
that experience like right with with fresh eyeballs, that's fresh. Well,
I you know what I I want you. I want
you to experience it with us like I want you
to to narrate that that level.
Speaker 6 (32:46):
And that's why I'm going to have a martine with
you virtually tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
All right, very good, it's a date with a diving board.
Speaker 6 (32:52):
Well tonight, obviously we're dealing with what's going on in
the nation's capital. I think Conway is standing by every
med's mic on here as well. It's been a horrible
day in terms of the shooting of the National Guard
soldiers and the mixed messages and the news it was
out of the West Virginia governor and so forth. We're
going to talk to a guest next hour at six
point thirty five, Rob Chadwick, who is a former tactical
trainer for the FBI with reaction. But are we to
(33:14):
the point now where the rhetoric has caused this today?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Probably?
Speaker 6 (33:18):
So we're going to get into that coming up and
more plus Thanksgiving Fun on the second hour after seven until.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Coming up next Kamrae Larson take it from here. Have
yourselves a fantastic Thanksgiving. I'll see you next week. Louke
