Speaker 1 (00:00):
I know I said that we were going to talk
about Obamacare, but apparently I'm not even in control of
my own show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Obamacare, Brewers Baseball. Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's get to the
important stuff.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
If you recognize that voice, you have spent a lot
of time here on News Talk eleven thirty w ISN
Welcome back, Benjamin Yacht Show Tuesday edition. We are going
to get to early voting, and Greg, I'm going to
need your help on this because it's not just a reminder.
I'm going to ask something of you. And just after
(00:33):
eight o'clock. You cannot predict who is going to kill whom,
but you could have prevented last week's headline murder out
of the city of Chicago. But you heard the man,
the myth, the semi retired Legenday.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Webber won't ask me anything because I'm not metally prepared
to let's answer anything.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
He comes in the door and I'm like, this is
how they tell me. They fire me mid show.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
This is what you learn when you retire here is
that you have all sorts of time to drive around,
even older people who have doctor's appointments. That's your job now. Yeah,
so I actually have a relative that's getting a little
eye surgery down the road here, and I thought, what
a perfect time to stop and tell Ben and Greg
and the entire audience that my podcast is starting April seventh.
(01:20):
So that's why I'm here to promote the podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I appreciate it. Yeah, I appreciate you stealing the few
listeners I have to go to your podcast. There's nothing
that that that's a shot in the arm that the
Benjamin Yon shows.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Ben, we're gonna we're gonna release it after your show. No,
it's always that's what I said.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I didn't want to be like that, but I did
hear that.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I think right around Clay and Buck. When Clay and
Buck start, I think is about the time mid morning
we're going to be putting posting up the podcast on
Tuesday and a Friday. But yeah, the time is getting closer.
And since it was in the neighborhood, I thought i'd
stop and remind everybody April seventh.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
How different is the podcast is going to be from
from the show.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
And it's going to be pretty similar. But given that's
going to be forty five minutes or an hour, I
think I can move through topics even faster, so it's
going to be very, very limited ads.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Are you going to Are you going to keep news
you may have missed because you have a life?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
No, because I wantedyone to talk to. I suppose Greg
and I could could kick it around. But I know
that I think this is just going to be sort
of a refined our worth of my thoughts and whether
you want them to hear them or not. And that's
pretty much going to what it's going to be.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
The question that I always get at ventnows dot com
talk and text line four one, four seven, nine, nine
eleven thirty. Is Jay going to curse now now that
you are freed from the FCC and terrestrial radio? Are
you going to work blue for some reason? That's the
big question I get too, but I don't feel the
need to. But it's kind of nice to know that
I let if I let something slip, it's not necessarily
(02:47):
my job on the line. Because of it, I have
to adhere to the FCC rules. I know that I've
I've told you this story, but when Howard Stern went
over to satellite radio that they said, I'll look, guys,
we can curse, but we're not going to you. There's
no reason, and within a week it was it was
curse word after curseword.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Well ext because you can come up with fill in words.
You can come up with with alternative words to the
great curse words of our society, but nothing is better
than the original curse.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I think we still use jag. That that's one that
was invented on on the j Weber Show.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Well from my youth that that jag is a term
that was around so long it's sort of everyone forgot
that it was a term, and I brought it back
because I was always looking for euphemisms. How about shizzle
you can use.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
You can use Schmeckel. I use Schmeckel a lot I do.
Although I made a reference.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Tended to go with like Member Johnson's unit. I tended
to go more traditional Schmeckel works.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I I made a reference to the third leg, and
Bobby is not let me. He's like, how come every
time I turn on the radio, you're talking about somebody
with a third leg. And I'm like, I don't know
what time you're listening. Pal, that's the way to a
Jay Weber is back. He's not back for for good. No,
you're not. You want to fill in I mean opening
days on Thursday, I really slide right in. I could
(04:10):
get to the ballpark even even earlier. Do you miss it?
Are you enjoying retirement?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I miss sharing every thought in my head with people
a little bit, but I don't miss the hours. I
don't miss. I got to tell you, retirement's pretty great.
It's going to be semi retirement now because I have
the podcast starting. But one of the things about this
nice break between January first and in April seventh is
that I've been able to really unplug. I don't know
right now, if you quss me, I don't know much
(04:37):
in terms of what's going on in the world. I
really don't driving in when I was listening to you,
listening to you, I learned that it's the opening day
on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Man, you really ought to judge n C two A
tournament crept up on me, and that's something I really
pay attention to every year. Even that crept up on me.
We're like, we're in the second weekend before I knew
basketball was going on. I mean, I am this is
blissful ignorance, it really is.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I cannot wait and I'm never going to be able
to retire. I got four kids, but I cannot wait
to never be on Twitter again. That I enjoy it.
I always enjoy the back and forth, but I just
to not wake up and have thirty seven responses because
the liberals have now found me. When I was the sidekick,
when I was on you know, from five to six
(05:21):
and from nine to eleven, nobody knew that I existed.
I take over for you, and now the liberals are ah,
You're a pedophile protector and raw it just it is
a fire hose of crazy that I don't need.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I think it's gotten crazier in the Twitter anyway. X
has gotten crazier over the last just year or two,
I think. But what's nice about that?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Too?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
In retirement has proven to me that you can know
nothing about what's going on, you can still chime in
like you'd like you're.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Know it all. I know what's going on here.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Let me let me give you my three sentences on
Iran and.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Make it sound like I know what I'm It's well again,
you You were always such a good writer that your
three said this is on Iran would be far more
intelligent than the memes that I get sent. Are you
gonna have any guests on the podcast.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I haven't decided yet. There are already a few people, lawmakers,
newsmakers that were upset that I was no longer doing
the radio show, and I'm kind of retired. So I've
pushed as many as I can toward you.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yes, think you've had some of them on. I mean,
I gotta find out Robin Voss is retiring from the newspaper.
I mean that's the phone number hasn't changed, man, you
can all still call up.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Are you going to well? In terms of guests, I
think we will. For me, as you know, because we
were just doing this off the air. For me, it's
learning the technical end because for thirty five forty years
in radio, I turned my microphone on and off. Well,
when I was a newsperson, I was in the editing tape,
but we were we were editing physical tape. We were
using razor blades and cutting and splicing tape. I know
nothing about the high electronic era era. So I'm trying
(06:51):
to figure out how to do this remotely from my house.
I'm trying to figure out how to just get the
little piece of audio, you know, you just run that
audio that has trump in it you want to play,
I'm trying to figure out I can't play that right now.
So either Greg's gonna have to do that for me
as I do the podcast, or I have to figure
out the the technical part of this. But that's the
thing I'm struggling with.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
What two weeks away from the podcast, Well.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
That's that's very iHeart wait, wait until the absolute last minute,
and then and then something.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
January and February went by and I had kind of
heard nothing from management here, and it's like, am I
still doing that podcast in April? Or how's that going?
The iheartway.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Look, you know this, as long as they they tell
you when when you are no longer needed. Other than that,
they just allow it. Jay Webers to join, He's he's
hanging out on what used to don't have to the
whole segment here, either, what do you want me to say?
I just want unaffordable. I can talk about this later
in the show. I can I can bump the food
stamp law. I'd rather just sit and chat with you
(07:53):
for a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I can tell you Obamacare is unaffordable because I no
longer am matured by the company. I'm just I'm essentially
a part time employee now, and it's nice. I can
do the ads and do the podcast and kind of
do what I want to do. But because of that,
I had to go out and get my own insurance.
So they of course point your right to the Obamacare
exchange and if you make more than sixty four thousand
dollars a year, so that you get no help from
(08:14):
the government. But then, like the first step of Obamacare,
I was shocked. The first step in terms of help
is like half of your overall bill. So you go
from getting nothing if you make sixty four thousand dollars
over to getting like six hundred dollars worth of help
every month if you make under that. So but long term,
you know, a long story short, I have a thirteen
I'm going to pay about thirteen thousand dollars to ensure
(08:36):
just myself this year with a ten thousand dollars deductor
unless I have some sort of real catastrophe in my life. Wow,
I just essentially am paying for thirteen thousand dollars for
no reason.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Ginger ale chicken soup.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Ask for.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
You know enough. Doctors. I'm sure you know the the
orthopedic associates can still help you with that, that that shoulder,
that that you've got, But that is cobble together my
health well, that's that. That's what healthcare is. It is.
It is terrible. What's the biggest story that you are
glad you didn't have to talk about?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Probably Iran just just all of that. I'm this week,
I'm glad I don't have to talk about Donald Trump
not being gracious upon Robin Robert Muller's death. I'm just
glad I don't have to talk about that and try
to defend that because it is just completely crass and
unnecessary to make that comment. And at the same time,
Robert Muller was one of these guys who was just
(09:33):
lionized as an as the ultimate insider for years, and
in truth, he did go about destroying lives. And you know,
he was from that era of the Justice Enpartment where
they would just get you into a into a jail
cell or a room, and they would just sweat you
and sweat you and threaten you and threaten you and
sweat you and threaten you, and you were going to
jail unless you told him exactly what they wanted and cooperated.
(09:54):
So he was not. He was hard hitter. He was
not a gentleman. As much as they want to portray.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
No two things can be true at the same time.
Muller and what they did, and don't forget, this is
the same Justice Department that we now know all these
years later. They really did spy on the Trump campaign.
They really did try and entrap these guys.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yes, absolutely, but Paul Manafort went to prison largely because
he wouldn't roll over on Trump and cooperate with.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I always tell this story about when George Ryan, the
governor of Illinois, got arrested. The Feds came to his
guy and they're like, look, we don't want you, we
want we want the governor and two of his dudes
just double middle fingered the Feds and they did their
jail time. When Blagoyvitch got arrested, there was a line
out the front door at as Attorney's office. Everybody was
(10:44):
willing to roll because nobody was going to prison for
And that's.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
That all comes back to how you treat people and
what type of person you really are, because you can
be a jag and a threaten people and try to
ruin people if they don't do what you want until
you're in the crosshairs and then they'll turn on you immediately.
Time for payback. A lot of people did that with
the Clintons too, once they were out of off hold. Oh,
let us tell you the truth about the Clintons.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Well, you saw you saw it in the vote was it?
Was it January where you had House Democrats voting to
hold Bill in contempt but not Hillary. There's there's no
lovery and by the way, plenty of love for you
on the advent nos dot com talking text line.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I ignored this window, by the way, the entire time
I was on It's just the talking text line in
my day was just pretty much an open window of hate.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I got to crutch it through. I'm like, I'm like
a kid with a busted ankle. I gotta crutch these shows.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
How much sifting are you doing?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Okay, I'll read it out of one eye. I'll keep
an eye on.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
This is for the people in the EUIs this is
just an anonymous text line. You can be anonymous, so
it's a perfect way to just vent and get out
your hate and call Ben names, which is why when
I was on the air, these they are just people
calling me names. I'm not sure why I'm going to
the talking text.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
They all love you texture in the four one four.
Great to hear Jay again, Julie from the up. What
a great surprise. People begging you to come back and
fill in. They would they would love to hear you
feeling it's either you or Matt Kittle.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Just getting up a little bit later. Now, I've go
to bed about ten, ten thirty. I get up around
five thirty or six. Makes all the difference, does it.
It's so nice. I feel like I'm sleeping in late.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
To go to bed like a normal adult and not
have to go to bed like a toddler. That's it.
And I mean, you've got to have your afternoons for you.
You spent your career pre pre I mean, Jay, And
I'm gonna tell this. I'm going to Hillsdale next week
to teach a class on how to do a talk show.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Are you really I'm teaching. I'm teaching for thirty five years.
They didn't ask me. You're on for two months and
you're teaching a class at this.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I got I got the invitation week one. That's that's
that's how good. That's how good Uncle Ben is. But no,
I your career is you know, I have it into
the lesson plan of Jay was the most prepared talk
show host I've ever seen. I do this, spend hour
or so the day before, then three or four hours
every morning, and I still don't feel like I've gotten
(13:06):
quite as prepared as you have. But sell the podcast
one last time because we got to get to it.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
We haven't heard April seventh. It comes back, starts April seventh,
and it's every Tuesday and Friday. Belling is doing the
Monday Wednesday Thursday thing. I'm doing the Tuesday Friday thing.
So it's sort of the ogs of w I.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
S N like college class. It's like a college class. Well,
I got I got Belling Monday Wednesday Friday, and then
I got Weber Tuesday Thursday.

a break half a minute ago. I'm now running your ear.

It's my show. It's my show. We take the commercial
when I say April seventh, I heard Jay Webber pod.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
By the way, I heard Dan promoting his new venture.
I'm going, oh Man, thirty years ago, when I was
starting out, I could have done so much with this
digital era and gone national on podcasts and things like
just do you guys have the opportunity if you want
to take it, you can really monetize all of this.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I think I think he's looking for interns. So I
put a good word for you. If you need me to.
I know the guy who runs it.
Speaker 2 (14:23):

Give him your phone number.

using razor blades and cutting and splicing tape. I know
nothing about the high electronic era era. So I'm trying
(06:51):
to figure out how to do this remotely from my house.
I'm trying to figure out how to just get the
little piece of audio, you know, you just run that
audio that has trump in it you want to play,
I'm trying to figure out I can't play that right now.
So either Greg's gonna have to do that for me
as I do the podcast, or I have to figure
out the the technical part of this. But that's the
thing I'm struggling with.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
What two weeks away from the podcast, Well.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
That's that's very iHeart wait, wait until the absolute last minute,
and then and then something.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
January and February went by and I had kind of
heard nothing from management here, and it's like, am I
still doing that podcast in April? Or how's that going?
The iheartway.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Look, you know this, as long as they they tell
you when when you are no longer needed. Other than that,
they just allow it. Jay Webers to join, He's he's
hanging out on what used to don't have to the
whole segment here, either, what do you want me to say?
I just want unaffordable. I can talk about this later
in the show. I can I can bump the food
stamp law. I'd rather just sit and chat with you
(07:53):
for a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I can tell you Obamacare is unaffordable because I no
longer am matured by the company. I'm just I'm essentially
a part time employee now, and it's nice. I can
do the ads and do the podcast and kind of
do what I want to do. But because of that,
I had to go out and get my own insurance.
So they of course point your right to the Obamacare
exchange and if you make more than sixty four thousand
dollars a year, so that you get no help from
(08:14):
the government. But then, like the first step of Obamacare,
I was shocked. The first step in terms of help
is like half of your overall bill. So you go
from getting nothing if you make sixty four thousand dollars
over to getting like six hundred dollars worth of help
every month if you make under that. So but long term,
you know, a long story short, I have a thirteen
I'm going to pay about thirteen thousand dollars to ensure
(08:36):
just myself this year with a ten thousand dollars deductor
unless I have some sort of real catastrophe in my life. Wow,
I just essentially am paying for thirteen thousand dollars for
no reason.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Ginger ale chicken soup.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Ask for.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
You know enough. Doctors. I'm sure you know the the
orthopedic associates can still help you with that, that that shoulder,
that that you've got, But that is cobble together my
health well, that's that. That's what healthcare is. It is.
It is terrible. What's the biggest story that you are
glad you didn't have to talk about?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Probably Iran just just all of that. I'm this week,
I'm glad I don't have to talk about Donald Trump
not being gracious upon Robin Robert Muller's death. I'm just
glad I don't have to talk about that and try
to defend that because it is just completely crass and
unnecessary to make that comment. And at the same time,
Robert Muller was one of these guys who was just
(09:33):
lionized as an as the ultimate insider for years, and
in truth, he did go about destroying lives. And you know,
he was from that era of the Justice Enpartment where
they would just get you into a into a jail
cell or a room, and they would just sweat you
and sweat you and threaten you and threaten you and
sweat you and threaten you, and you were going to
jail unless you told him exactly what they wanted and cooperated.
(09:54):
So he was not. He was hard hitter. He was
not a gentleman. As much as they want to portray.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
No two things can be true at the same time.
Muller and what they did, and don't forget, this is
the same Justice Department that we now know all these
years later. They really did spy on the Trump campaign.
They really did try and entrap these guys.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yes, absolutely, but Paul Manafort went to prison largely because
he wouldn't roll over on Trump and cooperate with.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I always tell this story about when George Ryan, the
governor of Illinois, got arrested. The Feds came to his
guy and they're like, look, we don't want you, we
want we want the governor and two of his dudes
just double middle fingered the Feds and they did their
jail time. When Blagoyvitch got arrested, there was a line
out the front door at as Attorney's office. Everybody was
(10:44):
willing to roll because nobody was going to prison for
And that's.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
That all comes back to how you treat people and
what type of person you really are, because you can
be a jag and a threaten people and try to
ruin people if they don't do what you want until
you're in the crosshairs and then they'll turn on you immediately.
Time for payback. A lot of people did that with
the Clintons too, once they were out of off hold. Oh,
let us tell you the truth about the Clintons.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Well, you saw you saw it in the vote was it?
Was it January where you had House Democrats voting to
hold Bill in contempt but not Hillary. There's there's no
lovery and by the way, plenty of love for you
on the advent nos dot com talking text line.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I ignored this window, by the way, the entire time
I was on It's just the talking text line in
my day was just pretty much an open window of hate.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I got to crutch it through. I'm like, I'm like
a kid with a busted ankle. I gotta crutch these shows.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
How much sifting are you doing?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Okay, I'll read it out of one eye. I'll keep
an eye on.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
This is for the people in the EUIs this is
just an anonymous text line. You can be anonymous, so
it's a perfect way to just vent and get out
your hate and call Ben names, which is why when
I was on the air, these they are just people
calling me names. I'm not sure why I'm going to
the talking text.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
They all love you texture in the four one four.
Great to hear Jay again, Julie from the up. What
a great surprise. People begging you to come back and

to bed about ten, ten thirty. I get up around
five thirty or six. Makes all the difference, does it.
It's so nice. I feel like I'm sleeping in late.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
To go to bed like a normal adult and not
have to go to bed like a toddler. That's it.
And I mean, you've got to have your afternoons for you.
