Speaker 3 (01:08):
On your radio, in your stereo, in your mama house.
It's Reason on the radio on WTIC News Talk ten
to eighty.

Speaker 6 (01:17):
Hello everybody, and welcome to your Friday. We got through it.
We got through it.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
And the only reason why I'm saying it is because
my wife is going nuts. We're still moving in October,
but our plans have shifted. We had an apartment and
then that some odd reason that fell through. We got
a really, really good look at it. It's too small,
it's going to be a it's going to be a
cardboard box. Practically, we might as well pitch a tent
right outside WTIC studios. My wife says, just so you're like,

(01:50):
we'll sleep in the parking lot, because then I could
just be in the office. Whenever I want. We got
Joey hanging out with us today. How you doing, sir, God?

Speaker 7 (01:59):
What's up?

Speaker 6 (02:00):
Ready to go?

Speaker 7 (02:00):
You was sleeping the promotions van?

Speaker 6 (02:02):
Uh you know what I did? I saw that promotions van.

Speaker 7 (02:06):
Corn hole in there? You got so you got your activities.
There's a couple Tensonario Golden.

Speaker 6 (02:11):
Do you guys have corn hole in the back of
the van.

Speaker 7 (02:13):
Yeah, so if we're going somewhere else, set up cornhole.

Speaker 6 (02:16):
Okay, now that's that works. I actually kind of dig that.

Speaker 7 (02:18):
So the promotion's tents in there. So if it's a
nice day, you put outside boom, you got a porch.

Speaker 6 (02:22):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
That's all saving myself money until we buy a house
in connection. And Uh, I don't know what's going on,
but I gotta say this, John Larson, didn't we have
an episode not too long ago? Didn't didn't we have
an episode? What in God's name did I witness on

(02:46):
the news day? And apparently it made national news. It
was on America's newsroom today. Uh, Dana Perino's morning show,
U heard it and build millusion. We're talking about this
and all they can do was shake their head, which
is what I did when I saw it.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
This is not.

Speaker 8 (03:02):
Germany, that's the ASS and the Gestapo. This is the
United States of America.

Speaker 9 (03:09):
Unmask yourselves.

Speaker 6 (03:13):
Yeah, John, what's all that about?

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Now?

Speaker 3 (03:16):
I know what it's really about, if I may let
me help. So what that was about was, Hey, mister Larson, Yes,
is your is a part of your campaign. You're going
up against somebody who's fairly younger than you, and you
know the big thing is to be outraged about ice. Uh,

(03:39):
we're gonna need you to go out to this rally
in Newington and scream and holler calling them the Gestapo,
and we need you to go out there and also
call them Nazis, Okay, because that's what the kids are saying.
And if you want to sound like the young people,
you have to sound like the young people.

Speaker 6 (03:54):
Okay, All right, Now, go on out there and give
a speech.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
I know you don't really know what happened to those
young men in Newington and where they are, but you
know you have to sound outraged about things that you
don't know.

Speaker 8 (04:05):
This is not Germany, that's the ASS and the Stoppoh,
this is the United States of America.

Speaker 6 (04:13):
Unmask yourselves now. Listen.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Avoid anyone asking you if you know where these individuals
are and what they are guilty of. Avoid them like
the plague. Just be outraged. That's all the kids care about.
That you are showing outrage. And you know what, we'll
put it on Twitter or the TikTok. Yes, yes, that's yes,
the Chinese one, that's the one. Yes, We'll put you
on there, and we will make sure that everybody knows

(04:37):
that you are really, really outraged about things you know
nothing about, because that's what the kids do. That's right,
that's what the kids do. You know, you don't want
to be shown up. Okay, you don't want to be
shown up. You got younger people running against you. We
got Gilcrest. You know these people are in their forties.
You have to do what the kids do.

Speaker 7 (04:56):
We want to see their heads explode. Just say they're
wearing masks. They don't want to spread COVID.

Speaker 6 (05:00):
That's all. They're just screaming.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
It's hilarious and you want to hear something great, I've
got it on great authority because I heard the audio.
Now I can't play it here for legal reasons. Okay,
for legal reasons, I can't play it here. But let
me say this. John Larson's office admitted on tape that

(05:25):
they don't know anything about the case his office, and
I know they're listening, So I want to do we
have you on tape. Do you understand that we have
you on tape saying you don't even know what led
to the seven men arrested at the Newington car wash,

(05:50):
And yet you've put this guy out on front street
to be screaming and hollering at the top of his lungs.

Speaker 8 (05:57):
This is not Germany, that's the and the stoppo.

Speaker 10 (06:02):
This is the United States of America. You're also admitting
on tape that you should know that it's important that
you should know. You guys are out there ahead of
your skis.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
I also know that the talking points is trying to
demonize Stephen Miller like you did Elon Musk. This does
not work. Stephen Miller is not the President of the
United States. He is not in charge of the immigration
plan in this country.

Speaker 6 (06:37):
The president is.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
And I know you guys are trying to be you know, new,
You're trying to come up with new ideas, but you
think that the Elon must thing work because Elon left
the White House. Now, all of a sudden you think
you're gonna do that with Stephen Miller. Clearly, you guys
don't know what you're up against. Clearly, but to know
and to have you on tape to hear your voices say, yeah,

(07:02):
we don't know what's going on. We just know that
we're upsetting and we're trying to push back against the
Trump administration.

Speaker 6 (07:10):
That's funny.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Oh, in this nonsense, this bull crap that everyone's saying, Well,
first they told us they were getting rid of the criminals. Yeah,
you got a problem with that too. Let me say
three words to you, kill Maar Abrego Garcia MS thirteen trafficking.
We got the guy on tape with nine people in

(07:31):
a cargo van who couldn't speak English, who all put
kill A Brego Garcia's home as their address in Maryland
while they were traveling from Texas and got caught up
in Tennessee. Really, you don't care about whether or not
they're criminals. And now you're saying that they're just standing

(07:52):
outside of a home depot, which means what it means
that if they're standing outside of a home depot, that
there is innocent as the driven snow, is that what
they are.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
They're standing outside of a home depot.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
When have you ever allowed them in your house to
do any any work landscaping?

Speaker 6 (08:12):
Huh? Any home repair workers? Are you hiring them?

Speaker 3 (08:16):
No? And then it's the it's the best part of
it all. I called WFSB and I called WTNH.

Speaker 6 (08:28):
Guess what they haven't done.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
They haven't spoken to one of the brothers of one
of the folks who were detained. They didn't even know
that a brother of one of the detained currently works
at the car wash Mark and West Hartford has already
been there to interview them twice twice, and nobody at
FSB or TNH has been down there. When I told

(08:53):
the folks at WFSB, did did you know that one
of the detainees brothers works there?

Speaker 6 (08:57):
They go, Oh, really, what's his name?

Speaker 2 (09:00):
What do you mean?

Speaker 6 (09:00):
What's his name? You're reporting on the story? What I
gotta farm? You news, you're the news. What's going on?

Speaker 3 (09:13):
By the way, no one in Larson's office has been
down there, either or the mayor of Newington.

Speaker 6 (09:20):
No one's offered any money, any cash, any shelter.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Does anybody have a closet or a basement that they
can put one of these folks up in. No, they
haven't even bothered. Here's why, because they don't care. They
never have cared. They don't give a damn about these names.
I called and asked about the kid Kevin from Meridan
High School. I remember him. Hey, you guys, gotta follow

(09:44):
up on his story?

Speaker 4 (09:45):
No?

Speaker 6 (09:45):
Why not?

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Well, the lawyer hasn't contacted us yet. What do you
mean the lawyer hasn't contacted you yet? So in order
to get a follow up on a story that you
led with, you gotta wait for the actual subject to
content you contact you to give you updates.

Speaker 6 (09:59):
You haven't reached out yet. This was a story you
wanted everybody to know about.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
You haven't picked up the phone and said, hey, counselor,
what's the deal on your boy?

Speaker 6 (10:10):
Nothing?

Speaker 3 (10:13):
And in order to get the information here's where it
makes it even crazy. In order to get information on
the lawyer, send us an email and we'll forward it
to you. It's been four hours no email, by the way,
That's why John Larson's office likes to communicate as well.
You know, send us an email request and then we'll

(10:33):
think about coming onto the program. You know what I
told them, pounds it never mind dude, the minute that
you tell me to send you an email like, oh, yeah,
you're not showing up.

Speaker 6 (10:44):
Who cares? All right, never mind, I never needed you anyway.
You guys are jokes.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
But guess what I found out. What I found out
is the greatest thing in the world. Let me set
this up for you. You guys know this Gordon get
Go looking bozo out in California. He's uh, he's the
governor out there, Gavin Newsom. Yeah, he's running around trying

(11:17):
to troll the President of the United States because his
polling numbers look like crap. I mean, he's actually polling
lower than Alexandria Casio Cortes and I know a pile
of bricks that's smarter than that woman. But Gavin Newsom,
he's been trying to He's been all over the news,
He's been everywhere.

Speaker 6 (11:39):
In fact, he.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Hasn't been in more places on television than he's actually
been governing California. Well, he was on a podcast called Pivot,
and while he was there, he exposed something, and I
think he exposed something so bad Democrats are going to

(12:01):
spend the next week trying to explain it away.

Speaker 6 (12:07):
Listen closely to Gavin Newsom.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
And why he's concerned about Ice being in Los Angeles
and Sacramento and San Francisco and any major city across
the USA, and why he is fighting to put a
stop to Ice being there.

Speaker 6 (12:31):
It will shock you that he said it out.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Loud in LA.

Speaker 11 (12:38):
Do you think Ice is not going to show up
around voting in polling boost to chill participation. You know
that the National Guard. You know that everybody knows what's
at stake, so we have to put a steak in
the ground and do things differently.

Speaker 6 (12:52):
I'm sorry, Kevin, what everybody knows.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
That and Ice is going to be standing outside of
where in LA?

Speaker 11 (13:04):
You think Ice is not going to show up around
voting in polling boosts to chill participation.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
You know that the National Guard.

Speaker 11 (13:11):
You know that everybody knows what's at stake, So we
have to put a steak in the ground and do
things differently.

Speaker 6 (13:18):
So what are you going to do?

Speaker 3 (13:21):
You're gonna fight the President of the United States to
keep Ice out of your states. When the midterms come around,
Ice will be there to stop whom from voting. Legal
citizens who wish to vote will show up in droves.
I would assume but why would there be people who

(13:43):
would be deterred by the presence of Ice. I think
either he gave up the goods or he gave a
pretty good idea to Republican I mean, if you ask me,

(14:06):
that may have been the dumbest smart thing that Gavin
Newsen could have ever done.

Speaker 6 (14:14):
Joshua was in there.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Yeah, josh you're right, So he basically admitted illegal aliens
are voting in California.

Speaker 6 (14:22):
I don't know, josh.

Speaker 11 (14:24):
You tell me in LA you think Ice is not
going to show up around voting in polling boost to
chill participation. You know that the National Guard, you know
that everybody knows what's at stake, So we have to
put a steak in the ground and do things differently.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
It's the best piece of audio. It's fourteen seconds long.
I mean, it's the fourteen seconds that killed his career
as a politician. It's over done, finite, out of here,
Bye bye. I can't stop laughing about it. As soon

(15:04):
as I saw it, I went no, no, what eh?
So I'd just like to ask John Larsen, and I
think it's the question everyone should ask.

Speaker 6 (15:22):
Hey, John, are you concerned.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
That Ice is going to show up at polling places
and illegals will be afraid to.

Speaker 6 (15:35):
I mean, maybe the outrage is real.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Maybe John Larson is concerned that he won't get enough votes.

Speaker 8 (15:41):
This is not Germany, that's the ass and the gastopo.
This is the United States of America. I unmastered yourself.

Speaker 12 (15:50):
Unmastered yourselves, and don't show about the polling places. I've
got these two young peoples, these young whipper snappers, snipping
up my ankles. They're sniping on my ankles, and I've
got to I've got to sound like I'm I care
what the young people care about.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
What's another thing? The kids love legos? What's the big thing.
I've got to learn how to play spades and unos
for the black kids. I'm sorry, What am I supposed
to do with this? As soon as I saw it,

(16:30):
I would like everybody else was shaking their head. I
was looking at it, going, come on, man, really, like
where was this outrage? Weeks ago? Even Chris Murphy, who,
by the way, congratulations Chris Murphy.

Speaker 13 (16:45):
I just heard.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Chris Murphy was voted uh Time Magazine's AI one hundred.

Speaker 6 (16:56):
Yes he was.

Speaker 14 (16:57):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
He's considered a influential figure in the time one hundred.
I read the piece that they did on him. It
should have been in the category of complaining because.

Speaker 6 (17:10):
That's that's literally what he cited for in there.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
But even he's not screaming that loud, probably because he's
defending transgender school shooters.

Speaker 6 (17:21):
But you know, yeah, it's different. It's just different. Zach
says that John Larson's.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
Got to learn how to play selo. Even I don't
know how to play that, Zach. I've tried, but I
don't know how to play it. I've got to learn,
don't I don't know what. Do you know how to
play selo?

Speaker 6 (17:43):
Joey? Have you ever played it? Even even for fun?

Speaker 3 (17:46):
No, you haven't tried, okay, because you you like the
worst person I can ask this. All I know is
that the dice are usually red, and apparently seven and
eleven are good.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
I'm confused now.

Speaker 6 (17:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
I don't know. Somebody some people say it's like playing
craps at the casino. But even though I don't know
how to play that either, have you ever played that
at this casino?

Speaker 7 (18:09):
No?

Speaker 3 (18:09):
No, okay, but dice isn't my thing. You know, the
whole rolling in the dice and people blowing throat. I
don't I don't get it now. Yeah, maybe John Larson
should learn some se lo, play a little bit in
the parks with the kids and maybe get that vote.
I guess the young kid, Zach says, Oh my god,

(18:29):
I learned in that in the ninth grade in constitution class,
but not from black kids. Then it probably you probably
learned wrong, Zach. That's probably what happened. We got to
take a break. We got We're gonna come back, more news,
more views when we return.

Speaker 6 (18:48):
Uh, we'll talk more about this Larsen thing.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
We'll take some phone calls as well as and zero
five two two w T I see eight and zero
five to two two nine eight four to two. We've
got Roseanne coming up for Ladies Night as well as
headlines and uh oh, Greg Bugby of CES Connecticut Agricultural
Experiment Station, he's coming with an update, an update with

(19:12):
the hydrilla removal in the Connecticut River. You don't want
to miss that either, So stick around. We'll be back
in Tree Sun Radio on WTIC News Talk ten eighty
and that you can as long as I'm here in
Tree Sun Radio, WTIC News Talk ten eighty. Now I
want you to think about something, folks. I want you
to think about this in the scope of news stories

(19:35):
that you've heard in the past, and I also want
you to think about this in the scope of some
of you who do a lot of gigwork.

Speaker 6 (19:43):
So if you're driving in your car right now and
you have.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Worked for Uber or lyft or currently, this is specifically
for you.

Speaker 6 (19:55):
Other people outside of that have used Uber or Lyft.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
Same deal. What has Uber and Lift done in the
past couple of years to ensure writer safety.

Speaker 6 (20:09):
If you have the.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
App on your phone and you have used it, whether
you're a driver or a passenger, they go through a
painstaking review for each individual in that exchange. When I
order an Uber and someone takes the job, Uber provides

(20:38):
me with the make, model, license plate number, and the
name of the driver coming to pick me up. They
even go so far as an added bonus to tell
me the rating of said driver five star, four star,
how many trips this driver has taken and more than likely,

(21:04):
I would say nine out of ten times you've used
the app, you've got you've received a driver with a
stellar rating, Unless, of course, you have extreme bad luck,
you probably will get a rider here and there with
maybe three maybe four stars, and when you did, you
were probably a little cautious about your ride.

Speaker 6 (21:27):
And if you are a driver, it's pretty much the
same thing.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
You get the name of the individual because they're made
to when they fill out that form when they download
the app, and guess what the passenger has a rating
as well, also based on tipping and things like that
courtesy behavior. And the reason why they do that is
because in this gig economy, especially this particular model, they

(21:56):
want to make sure that the driver and the passenger
are both safe, and it is a great model. Just recently,
we had a story that made national news about a
man who was cold cot by a Russian illegal because

(22:20):
he canceled the the ride. The Russian got out of
the Uber and clocked him black knocked the guy clean
out while he was holding his Poodle's devastating blow and
a very hard video to watch. And now Uber is

(22:41):
in a lawsuit because of it. Why, because it broke
its own golden rule safety. How many stories have you
heard about young ladies being attacked, assaulted or even the
other way around, women who had been with Uber drivers
attack them. No one after any of those instances. Ever says, well,

(23:06):
that's the risk you take. That's the risk you take
when you hire these gig employees, these unprofessionals, regardless of
the parameters they put up. I remember that crazy story
about the girl who was killed when she got into
the wrong car thinking it was her Uber. Everybody said

(23:28):
she got into the wrong Uber. No, no, she got
to do with the wrong car. The cause she got
into was not an Uber driver. She got to do
a regular passenger's car. That son of a gun, that
animal ended up taking her, assaulting her and killing her.
Uber was not responsible. But why what did Nuber do?
Immediately after it changed its protocols? It tried and did

(23:51):
what it could to make them safer so that an
incident would like that would not happen to your.

Speaker 6 (23:56):
Wives, your daughters, or your mother. Now, I bring all
of this up.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
Because it's important to recognize the danger that democrats are ignoring.

Speaker 6 (24:14):
Because when I hear these.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
People like I heard this guy on the tape at
John Larson's office going after ICE agents because they're picking
up illegals at a home depot. What are those individuals
doing at the home depot? What are those individuals doing

(24:39):
outside of a U haul center. I have personal knowledge
of this, having worked for Corporate U Haul in Woodbridge, Virginia.
I've experienced the amount of illegals that sit out side

(25:01):
of U hauls across the country hoping to do the
intimate work of helping people move from home to home.
These are people who are outside of a home depot.
These are people outside of a U haul that customers
will then hire off the books to come into their

(25:24):
homes and do repairs or to move their items. These
people don't have insurance, They have no insurance policy. Should
they break things or damage anything, cause a water main break,
whatever the thing might be, damage stuff, nothing, It is
the risk those individuals take. There is no way to
vet them, is there. But in a gig economy and

(25:52):
people who are trying to save dollars, they will hire
these individuals. And what guys like John Lars, what guys
that in Newington are saying.

Speaker 6 (26:06):
Is that we should risk our lives or our.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
Livelihoods by just hiring these individuals, not being non no
need for concern.

Speaker 6 (26:21):
They're just sitting outside of a home depot.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
Why would ice be going in and grabbing them up.
They're just a bunch of innocent guys trying to get
some work. Nobody knows who they are, much less the
politicians who are saying they're the safest bet around here.

(26:44):
Every person is putting their lives at risk. Let me
give you a story, give you a scenario. I owned
a moving company for five years.

Speaker 6 (26:55):
My best mover.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
And when I say best mover, it's not because you
moved better than anybody else. But he was always my
go to. Whenever there was a job, he was there.
And that's Carl. You guys, remember I was used to
start the show. Hello Carl. Carl was one of my
first employees. It's been with me over five years. Cheat
him like a son. He was the ring bearer at
my wedding because he's short. It's like decides with teenager.

(27:24):
But anyway, nonetheless, that's another story. Anyway, Carl and I
for one summer, we're getting called to do these two
man jobs, small jobs, ten foot trucks. And this week
it wasn't really really busy, but we kept getting calls, Hey,
I need two guys to help me move a ten
foot truck. And fine, we would show up there and

(27:46):
everyone we showed up.

Speaker 6 (27:47):
At was a devor.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
Say a woman who was moving out of the family home.
It was devastating because Carl and I were the most
uncomfortable we could be because these were breakups.

Speaker 6 (28:07):
Divorces, women crying, emotional.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
You know, I don't operate well when women were crying,
but these women were emotional. And two men, two strangers,
have to show up at the home, which, by the way,
the woman is leaving, usually when the husband or they
soon to be ex husband is out of the house,
and these women would be there by themselves. And these
are two grown men, strangers walking it out to move
her belongings to her new abode. Now, as a business owner,

(28:35):
I'm okay because as soon as I walk in, I
usually do a consultation. I have a phone call with
these people. There's an exchange. You usually have a contract
in some cases. But the bottom line is is that
I'm legit. Now, think about that. When the woman is
running up to the U hall, it's an immediate breakup.
She found out her boyfriend has broken.

Speaker 6 (28:51):
Up with her.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Ah.

Speaker 6 (28:53):
Oh, her boyfriend's cheating on her.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
She's running down to the U hall. She grabs a
ten foot truck. She can't move the bed that she's
taking out of the home. She can't grab the couch
by herself, and she grabs these two individuals who are
sitting outside of a U haul. Are you guys gonna
sit up here and just tell me she should just
take the risk, that she should just find a moving company.

Speaker 6 (29:19):
Moving companies aren't cheap.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
Before I close down the company, my going rate was
seventy five dollars an hour per mover with a two
hour minimum. These guys who are sitting there outside of
a home depot, guess what they're charging for the day?
Eighty five bucks. Again, I ask, who is Bob Larso?

(29:49):
John Larson?

Speaker 7 (29:50):
Sorry?

Speaker 6 (29:50):
Who is John Larson? God, Bob almost threw you.

Speaker 7 (29:53):
Under the bus?

Speaker 3 (29:54):
Who is John Larson screaming about? Who is he screaming for?
Who is being protected in this literal like wild fit
that these people are making. You've seen the names, and

(30:19):
you've seen the things that these people who have been
pulled out of the country and put in detention center.

Speaker 6 (30:25):
You've seen seen it all. Don't act like you don't know.

Speaker 15 (30:30):
You do know.

Speaker 6 (30:34):
And it's not again, not even just a risk to women,
it's a risk to anybody.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
What if one of these people desperate gets help from
somebody who's trying to do the right thing, and he's
got a wat of cash. He plans on paying the
guys in cash, because these guys don't have things like
cash app usually or a venmo Some of them do,
don't get me wrong, they're quite technologically advanced.

Speaker 6 (30:59):
But some of these guys get paid in cash.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
And you've got a guy who's showing up with a
wad full of cash to pay three or four guys.

Speaker 6 (31:08):
All you need is one. All you need is one.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Bozo that says, yeah, man, this guy looks like he
got some dough.

Speaker 6 (31:18):
I'll say this before we take a break.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
And I've told the story before, but if you missed it,
if you heard it before, indulge me. If you haven't.
This is a true story. I am not fabricating a
word of this. I'm working at my U haul and
I come outside and there's a guy named Rob who's
from my neighborhood who stands out there to do some gigwork,

(31:42):
helping people move. He's got a business card in the
whole nine yards, but he stands outside of a U
haul and he'll give people his card saying, hey, you
need some movers. I got some good guys for you. Well,
one day I walk outside and I see Robin. I say, hey,
what's up, buddy, older black guy giants fan, what's up, buddy?

Speaker 6 (32:00):
How are you?

Speaker 3 (32:03):
As we're talking, I see a bunch of guys over
in the corner. I don't know where they're from. All
I know is that they are about five guys beating
the hell out of one guy, and they're beating them
pretty bad. I'm like, yo, what the hell is going on?
And Rob looks at me and says, that guy robbed.
He robbed one of the customers from U Haul. I
said what he said? Yeah, they were all out on

(32:26):
a job. They did the job, and after the job
was over, that bozo who they were beating up, he
went back to the house at three o'clock in the
morning he tried to rob them. The rest of the
guys found out about it, and they beat the hell
out of them because he was messing with their money. Now,

(32:50):
I look, I'm not for the whole vigilanteism thing, and
I'm glad that those guys put a little work in
on them because they were letting them know that, hey,
you're actually can get hard for the rest of us.
But I want you to think about that. It only
takes one and guys like John Larsen and guys like

(33:13):
you know, the mayor of Newington who are screaming and
hollering about these guys. I was out of a home depot.
What they're really conveying is is that you go on.
You could take a risk with these guys. They'll never
have to use them, but you do. We take a break,
we'll come back, more news, more views. It's recent radio

(33:33):
on wt I see Newstalk ten eighty. I didn't think
it would be that short.

Speaker 6 (33:39):
It isn't even ready for that. We'll be back.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
Sorry, we are back, Gries on the radio news Talk
ten eighty w t I see.

Speaker 6 (33:47):
Switching back to the app, Zach.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
Says, okay, fine, he's also Zach has got.

Speaker 6 (33:53):
A video of him riding the harvester in Woodbridge, Illinois. Yeah,
I gotta see that. Man, get that to me.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
Michael A says, I just happened to see John Larson
on the Sunday shows last week. He has such a
hatred for President Trump. He doesn't even try to hide it. Well,
most of them, you know, they don't have a hatred
for Donald Trump. It is so performative. As Laurie says
in the chat room, it's not real. It's you know,

(34:20):
they think that this is this is currying favor with
the intelligentsia, with you know folks over at MS, DNC
and CNN. You know, the more you talk about Donald
Trump or express your dislike.

Speaker 6 (34:36):
For him, the more they want to bring you on.
It's like the new guy.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
You know, whoever the politician is wants to make a
name for himself. You know, all you have to do
is call them up and just goya, I really really hate.

Speaker 6 (34:48):
Donald I could look, I wish I could. I would
do it if I didn't care, but I.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
I in my heart of hearts, I wish that someone
would pull off the biggest April Fools joke of all time,
and that is just out of nowhere. Just start hating
Donald Trump and booking themselves on all of the networks

(35:21):
and then just April Fools in all and really get
some dirt coming from all of them. I would say,
you know what, I used to be a big giant
Trump fan, but now I can't stand them and I
want them impeached. And then get on one of those
shows and then talk to the guys behind the scene,
like a Jake Tapper. Listen to them behind the scene,

(35:43):
and listen to their gleefulness that think you know that
you finally come around and get some recon They would
love it that they are so.

Speaker 6 (35:52):
Easily baited into that.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
If you don't believe me, look at what happened with
Tucker Carr and didn't agree with Donald Trump on Gaza.
Look at the way that they immediately started showing interest
in Candice Owens when she, you know, started calling Donald
Trump a scam artist. Look at the way they treated
and this is probably the best look at how they

(36:19):
flip flopped on Amaurosa. It was night and day when
Amrosa joined the first Trump administration.

Speaker 6 (36:28):
She was the scourge of the world.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
We don't ye I was about say, we don't have traffic.
She was the scourge.

Speaker 15 (36:38):
Of the world.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
And then she wrote a book where she called Donald
Trump a racist and said that he said racist things in.

Speaker 6 (36:45):
The White House, and they booked her everywhere, They helped
her sell the book. All she had to do was turn.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
On him, and they acted like they had never called
her the most evil woman in the world. So I
don't you know, I look at this like John wat
say's nothing honest about him. The guy was in Newington
and never went Newington's not a big town.

Speaker 6 (37:11):
Newington. Blink you miss it.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
He never went to the to the actual car wash
to even show some solidarity with the people who work there,
who we know for a.

Speaker 6 (37:26):
Fact to think that the ice is coming back.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
For them, which you know what I also find incredibly
funny is that Mark's got one of the brothers on
tape saying, you know, you don't know, they might be
coming back for me, but guess what he showed up
the work.

Speaker 6 (37:44):
Hey, give it up for the work ethic. I'm just
saying it. Hey, you know I could be going, you know,
next week for West hard for it.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
I Kobe where my brother in another state, getting ready
to go back to my gun.

Speaker 16 (38:00):
But you know I had to go to work. Okay,
deep s pretty good here. I'm just bedding you. Okay, Yes,
they're going for me next time, so I make it easy.
I figured I'll be here. You know, I don't rese East.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
We gotta get about of here. We gotta do top
of the news.

Speaker 6 (38:18):
Let's get to it. W t i C News Room.
It's res on the radio. WT I S News Talk
ten eighty and we are back. It is Rees on
radio on WTIC News Talk.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
Uh, we don't have any headlines today because it's Friday
and Friday is usually lame. But we do have the
stupidest thing I read today.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
Okay, yes, you do.

Speaker 11 (38:45):
This could very well be the stupidest person on the
face of the earth.

Speaker 6 (38:52):
Why. Why that's what the media sounds like today? Why
he so mean?

Speaker 3 (39:04):
I'm sorry, but that's exactly what they sound like today.
What are they moaning about? Okay, I don't know why
this is a headline anywhere, but Kamala Harris lost her
her Secret Service detail today. Okay, she was supposed to
have it up until July. All right, it's the end

(39:24):
of August and Donald Trump has suspended it and everyone
has lost it. Why Because here's the thing, no one's
even bothered to ask this question.

Speaker 6 (39:36):
Why did Joe Biden? Oh sorry, I forgot Joe.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
Biden didn't do that. Why did somebody in Joe Biden's
administration extend her Secret Service detail?

Speaker 6 (39:49):
For what reason? There's no explanation. No one has even
bothered to ask.

Speaker 3 (39:54):
The only thing that they're talking about is that Donald
Trump suspended her Secret Service detail a month after it
was supposed to be over for all vice presidents.

Speaker 6 (40:06):
But why is Kamala Harris special?

Speaker 3 (40:09):
Why no one has ever said that about any other
vice president at all. Joe Biden lost his after six months,
Al Gore lost his after six month. Everybody's got to
have theirs for six months. But for some odd reason,
Kamala Harris losing hers a month after she was supposed to.
Everyone's losing it. And I'm getting sent this story and

(40:31):
I got to tell you, I don't care. Are you
really is it?

Speaker 13 (40:40):
Like?

Speaker 3 (40:41):
Is it really a story? Joe Biden extended it for
no good reason. No one can even figure out one
what threat was Kamala Harris under?

Speaker 15 (40:53):
None?

Speaker 6 (40:54):
What threat?

Speaker 3 (40:57):
Every threat we've heard that was against Kamala Harris about
to be false? Remember the lie that on January sixth,
she was alleged to be at the DNC.

Speaker 6 (41:07):
She wasn't there.

Speaker 3 (41:09):
Then it was alleged that there was a thread in
her life after the actual assault on Donald Trump on
July thirteenth, because they thought it would get Kamala Harris
some empathy, if not sympathy, on the campaign trail. Because
they were damn well certain that Donald Trump was going

(41:31):
to be the I guess we're pretty much went to presidency.
I mean even his campaign said, as they watched it
on television in real time, he's gonna win.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
Now.

Speaker 6 (41:43):
They knew it, go read the book.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
His campaign staffers were on at their mother's house watching
it on TV. Seeing Donald Trump put the art fight
fight Fight, they went, oh, no, he's gonna win.

Speaker 6 (42:00):
They knew it. They knew it.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
I knew it before then, but it was definitely a
shoe in after that. So no one cares no offense.
What are they afraid that Kamala Harris is gonna get
hit with? Huh knowledge that? I think somebody's gonna sniper
her with some knowledge. Here, here's two ccs of a brain.

(42:26):
That's what I think she's gonna get attacked with, like
a fact. She'll be fine, ladies and gentlemen. And she's
on a book tour. She got an advance for her
book tour. I'm pretty sure that they'll give her a
security detail and make it look like you can actually
hire guys I hear to be your bodyguards. Some of

(42:48):
them are dirt cheap, So yeah, I thought that was stupid.
I want to talk about this, and I'll get to
the phones in the second stand by. So we got
John Larson, We've got John Trister, We've got Ned Lamont,

(43:08):
Chris Murphy, Dick Blumenthal. Oh, don't forget about that Boso.
Bob Duff.

Speaker 6 (43:18):
I didn't even get to that post that he did
on Facebook the other day.

Speaker 3 (43:21):
Did you see that that Boso? All these people screaming
and hollering about ice coming into town and taking illegals
out of the state. By the way, you notice no
one's talking about Danberry. No one's talking about dan Berry.
Dad wooed that eighty four people out of Danburry was

(43:42):
the winners out there. Huh, No one's talking about Danberry.
Where're the protest for the Danberry folks? Those folks weren't
out there in a home depot anyway. But imagine hearing
these people screaming and hollering at the top of their lungs. Right,
and if you're just joining us, here's John Larsen.

Speaker 6 (44:06):
Visibly moved.

Speaker 8 (44:07):
This is not Germany, that's the ass and the Gestapo.
This is the United States of America. I unmasked yourselves.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
Imagine that. Oh yeah, that's right, ag tong, thank you.
Michael A can't forget him either. Now, imagine all of
that is happening, and then there's this small, small little
detail that we've been talking about here on the show,
and imagine how one story would sort of swing itself.

Speaker 6 (44:43):
Into the immigration story.

Speaker 3 (44:45):
Listen. A couple of weeks ago, we talked about a child, well,
a couple of years ago, I apologized. We talked about
a child who fell out of a window when his
mother was out and the father alleged he was in
the house high on crack, even though DCF had been

(45:05):
to the house several times and said that the house
was good to go for children to live there. Six
year old lost its life. Then we had that crazy
case in Waterbury. A young man who had DCF come
to the house ended up being held captive for twenty years.
Have started a fire in the house in order to
be saved.

Speaker 6 (45:25):
Poor Seth.

Speaker 3 (45:26):
I hope he's doing well. But it put DCF on
front street saying, Hey, what the hell's going on with DCF.
We find out that DCF is pretty much overwhelmed with cases.
Each DCF agents, their caseload is a mile long. They
can't seem to keep up. DCF is being called for

(45:49):
everything anything. Kids are truant, kids in trouble at home
feels though they are being abused by their parents who
just want them to do their homework. Hell DC is
even being called to separate a very confused young girl
named Irene said to drag her from the arms of

(46:11):
her loving mother Elvira, only to lead to the girl
killing herself at Ryder University in New Jersey. I mean
the DCF, I mean they're really they've been really really
kind of gone by the wayside. And then to pick
up the newspaper today and read this, Connecticut has an epidemic.

Speaker 6 (46:39):
Of kids being trafficked for sex. DCF says Connecticut has
an epidemic h weird.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
Here's some of the poll quotes the epidemic rate of
child sex trafficking and Connecticut. Coming from the retired Child
Welfare Commissioner Jody Hill, Lilly described the rate of teenagers
being trafficked for sex in Connecticut as an epidemic, emphasizing
that it's occurring in every household, including those similar to
lawmakers lingering effects of COVID nineteen, the issue that has

(47:16):
been exacerbated by the isolation from the COVID nineteen pandemic,
which hill Lily called a shadow pandemic, leading to deep,
unresolved trauma among youth with coke occurring disorders like mental
health issues, substance abuse, and developmental challenges.

Speaker 6 (47:34):
Audit findings on missing children.

Speaker 3 (47:36):
The state audit from fiscal years twenty one to twenty
three identified three thousand, seven hundred and thirty six episodes
of children going missing from dcfcare, with one child missing
one hundred times. Seventy percent of these absentee or absences
sorry lasted days or less, and two children were classified

(47:57):
as runaways.

Speaker 6 (47:58):
One is still missing. Sex trafficking cases in juvenile justice.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
The audit highlighted six female teams who were victims of
sex trafficking and becoming involved in Connecticut's juvenile justice system.
Victim profiles say that victims more than likely to be
females and LGBTQ individuals, or those in congregate care settings
make them prone to running away. Hill Lily shared an

(48:28):
anecdote of an eighteen year old from a typical household
being trafficked. The contributing factors fragile family structures, lack of
locked facilities.

Speaker 6 (48:40):
In group homes, and foster care.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
Shortages of appropriate care facilities leading to kids in emergency rooms,
and police fatigue from frequent missing youth reports contributing to
the problem. That's according to the report in the CTM Mirror.
We did another comprehend of study. We thought that it
was important that we get that information. We asked a

(49:05):
simple question, folks, and that was whether or not there
was sex trafficking amongst our immigrant communities. Here's what we found,
vulnerabilities of undocumented miners and immigrant children. The unaccompanied migrant children,
primarily from the Central American countries like Guatemala, Honduras, and

(49:26):
El Salvador, and some from Venezuela, are particularly at risk
for human trafficking, including sex trafficking.

Speaker 6 (49:32):
These children often.

Speaker 3 (49:33):
Flee violence, poverty, food in security, and family economic pressures,
sometimes leaving school to support their families. Smuggling arrangements can
blur into trafficking, with parents in trusting children to relatives, neighbors,
and smugglers who exploit them. Fairfield County in Connecticut has
been noted for housing such unaccompanied miners, increasing their exposure

(49:54):
to trafficking risks.

Speaker 6 (49:56):
Blurring of smuggling and trafficking.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
Panel discussions highlight how initial smuggling of migration can involve
into exploitation, with complex, unique cases that defy simple categorizations.
Greater awareness in a needed to foster compassion and advocacy,
such as contacting congressional representatives, according to the report, Services

(50:23):
and Support Organizations. Connecticut's Institute for Refugees and Immigrants provides
targeted services for immigrants, refugees and unaccompanied minors, and survivors
of human trafficking, including sex trafficking. Through Project Rescue, which
is established in two thousand and six, says they offer
comprehensive case management and advocacy for immigration, legal aid, housing,

(50:47):
job training, health services, and referrals. In twenty twenty four,
CIRII supported nearly three hundred trafficking survey, which may include
children from immigrant backgrounds. Again, I ask who is John

(51:11):
Larson protecting? Who is mayor John Trister protecting you.

Speaker 6 (51:20):
These kids?

Speaker 3 (51:23):
Because I haven't heard a press conference about one of
these kids ever, have you?

Speaker 13 (51:31):
Not?

Speaker 9 (51:32):
One?

Speaker 3 (51:35):
We've got Justin Elliker, as you heard at the top
of the hour, he's celebrating an eighteen year old boy
that's being returned to his family.

Speaker 6 (51:44):
Well, bravo there, Justin, all right, But while you were there?

Speaker 3 (51:53):
Were you? Did you hold any press conference about the
four shootings that just happened in the drive by the
other night? Did you hold anything about that? Where were
you on them? No? Nothing, not important. Where was the
media asking you about that? Huh, We're not talking about
the violent deaths of individuals in the community at all.

Speaker 13 (52:15):
No.

Speaker 3 (52:17):
Yeah, that's interesting. I find that odd. Again, I find
it odd. I see what your priorities are, but this
isn't about those folks. You don't care about trafficking. You
don't care about Mexicans, Guatemalans, Ecuadorians, You don't care about
any of those people. You care about votes, You care
about clicks and amuse media, no offense.

Speaker 6 (52:38):
You don't care.

Speaker 3 (52:39):
About anything other than ratings. That's all you care about.
You don't care about these people. Let them die, let
them be trafficked, let these kids run away. For you,
it's nothing more than a reason for you to chase
them down, or to chase down a store so you

(53:00):
can report about it.

Speaker 6 (53:01):
Nobody does anything.

Speaker 3 (53:06):
And then I know they don't care because you call
them and you ask him, hey, would you like to
talk about this? Can you tell can you tell our
audience what you guys are doing they have any plans?
You know what I get from these folks. Send us
an email. We'll get back to you. Who needs you,
who needs you? I'll tell you Ed Larson boy, he

(53:31):
desperate or he desperate. You got to explain that to me.
You're screaming at the top of your lungs like this.

Speaker 8 (53:37):
This is not Germany. That's the ass and the Gestapo.
This is the United States of America. I unmasking yourself.

Speaker 3 (53:48):
Like really, dude, like really, no one, No one believes that.

Speaker 6 (53:59):
By an away. When we come back, we'll get to
your phone calls, I promise.

Speaker 3 (54:03):
Police in Connecticut use of force on black arrestees apparently
more often than on white ones. According to a Yukon study,
if somebody sent this to me and then I was
actually somewhere on the news feed, and so I saw
it and we did some background on it. Never trust

(54:25):
a college study, never, because as you can bet, we
found the flaws and the flat out lies.

Speaker 6 (54:35):
That are in this study.

Speaker 3 (54:36):
And it's pretty embarrassing that it came from a school
like Yukon and they put it out and the news
media jumped on it. It's not what you think. It's
not In fact, the numbers are quite striking. We've got
some other numbers too about shootings. We had a gentleman
who called up yesterday talking about shootings in the United States.

Speaker 6 (54:58):
Those numbers, by the way, just you know what. In fact,
i'll bring it up now.

Speaker 3 (55:03):
So I wanted to test the theory that mass shootings
were not this thing that everybody keeps telling is a
so called white thing.

Speaker 6 (55:14):
It's not.

Speaker 3 (55:15):
It's wild what these numbers are. Now I want you
to consider this. Let me say, if I can go
to my data here, it's such a glaring point of
misinformation that when I saw it, I went, no, is
that real? I had to go back and win, Oh, yeah,

(55:37):
it's real. Here's the yesterday. Let me see here, that
is the shooting shooting, shooting shootings, shooting shootings. Yeah, this
is it right here. Yeah, we did a whole breakdown
of all of these shootings. Try this on for size
and shudge how bad this data is. As far as

(55:59):
you on his concern, this is really really bad. So
we broke down how many people in the African American
community versus the white community or Latino or Asian we're
committing what's called a mass shooting. Here's what we found

(56:20):
based on race and ethnicity. Black and non Hispanic are
thirteen percent of the population, the approximate share of perpetrators
sixty six percent. So again, I know numbers suck on
the radio, so I'm doing it slowly for a reason.

Speaker 6 (56:37):
Black and Hispanics, we know, make.

Speaker 3 (56:39):
Thirteen percent of the population, approximate share of perpetrators of
mass shooting sixty six percent. By contrast, white non Hispanic
population fifty eight percent approximate share of perpetrators nineteen percent.

(57:05):
So it's a mix. It's a mix match. Thirteen percent
of the population should be nineteen percent of the perpetrators
they are not. The larger population is responsible for the
fewer in that group. Between black and white, thirteen percent
of the population sixty six percent of all mass shooter perpetrators.

(57:30):
Whites make fifty eight percent of the population only nineteen
percent of the share. Hispanics make up nineteen percent of
the population.

Speaker 6 (57:41):
It couldn't get crazier now think about it.

Speaker 3 (57:44):
Hispanic or Latino larger population than African Americans with nineteen
percent versus thirteen percent. Latino Hispanic appro approximate share of
perpetrators eight percent, eight percent. That's the number no one

(58:11):
wants to hear. Can I tell you the Asian one?
Just just because I have to tell you the Asian one.
Asians make up six percent of the population. The percentage
of perpetrators of mass shootings minus two. It's pretty sad.
We gotta take a break. We'll be back, more news,

(58:32):
more views, your phone calls when we return. It's ree
Sun Radio on WTIC News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 4 (58:38):
Listen to wt i C News Talk ten eighty on
the Odyssey iHeartRadio or tunin apps.

Speaker 3 (58:45):
Let's get to the phones at eighteen zero five two
two wt I see Rouse in South Carolina.

Speaker 6 (58:49):
How you doing, buddy?

Speaker 17 (58:51):
But at leash, I have a question for years, Yes, sir,
do me your favor and ask John Larson what he
thinks or where he should put all those criminals.

Speaker 6 (59:02):
Do you think I don't think I don't think he
has a plan.

Speaker 3 (59:06):
Again, Look, this is about This isn't about a plan,
This isn't about actually really caring about these people. This
is about cameras. This is about print ink. That's all
this is. Think that this guy doesn't even care. When
we asked the office and called them, hey, have you
been down to the place.

Speaker 6 (59:25):
Do you know that his brother still works there? When
these guys knew.

Speaker 3 (59:28):
Nothing, They just knew there was a microphone and cameras
that were gonna be someplace, and they rushed to them
like literally, they ran to them like moths to flames.
There's a protest. I got to be on TV. Hurry up,
what are we gonna say? Screaming holler about ice? Okay,
I could do that. It's real dumb. It's it's just
so ridiculous. And that's why I laugh at it. The

(59:50):
fact that anybody thinks that this is this isn't even
performative because it's bad performative.

Speaker 6 (59:55):
It's like to watch it.

Speaker 3 (59:56):
It's like interpretive dance, the most boring and ridiculo this
thing people could do as an art form.

Speaker 17 (01:00:03):
The biggest problem Connecticut has on my mind is they
will vote for a Democrat if he's a pedophile and
has been caught on camera being a pedophile.

Speaker 6 (01:00:12):
That's not this look.

Speaker 3 (01:00:15):
They they know that they're not getting anywhere with the
support of African Americans in the state of Connecticut, because
I've already learned that that electord or that sort of
the polling data that says African Americans in uh in
New Sorry, in Connecticut overall is meaningless to the Democrat Party.

(01:00:37):
They don't care about them. They don't see the mex constituents,
so that's that's not a care in the world. This
is another oppressed group that they can pretend that they
care about, and that's why they're doing it. That's all
they think that this is. This is going to win
the votes.

Speaker 17 (01:00:54):
The sad parish is that these morons want these criminals
released back into the state. And what are they going
to tell the people whose families are affected by these criminals,
these rapists and the murders if they lose a family
member or daughter is raped, mother or father is killed
by a drunk driver, what's that message gonna be?

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
Oh, gee, that's too bad. No one.

Speaker 3 (01:01:15):
Look, the only thing that they know for certain is
that the news media will cover it, but they will
not ask the politicians who promoted the fact that they
wanted them here or were protecting them here.

Speaker 6 (01:01:30):
They'll never think about it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
Have you noticed that no one in the news media
has asked John Larson about the folks that were arrested
in Danbury, but the eighty four.

Speaker 6 (01:01:39):
That were picked up in Dannary.

Speaker 3 (01:01:40):
No, no one's even asked him why, because he knows
exactly what every one of those folks were picked up for.
And just like this, when it's revealed what those seven
men in Newington were picked up for, these guys will
act like it never happened.

Speaker 6 (01:01:54):
That's what they'll do.

Speaker 17 (01:01:57):
Absolutely again. People a Connecticut think once in a while.
I know, I lived in Watertown for many years. I
don't know if you're familiar with the water Time, Well,
every four years.

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
You know what they were doing in Watertown.

Speaker 17 (01:02:14):
They would change parties. They wouldn't let him stay there
long enough.

Speaker 6 (01:02:21):
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 3 (01:02:22):
I really thought that about Connecticut for a long time.
It was you know, I remember the first time getting
here and saying, so, what's the deal? He blue and
the purple and he what? And people went, you know,
you know, they could go either way. And then something changed,
and I thought Molloy was going to be because I
knew Democrats in Mystic who were like, no, Molloy is

(01:02:43):
just that this guy's taxes spend. They were like, we're
never doing this again. And then we got Lamont as
a result. I'm like, okay, So I don't know it's
maybe some people say it's too far gone. I don't
really believe that, but it's gonna be a tough road
to hold with the likes of Stewart.

Speaker 6 (01:03:01):
And I don't care that she doesn't like that.

Speaker 3 (01:03:02):
I said it. Uh, if you got beef with me,
you know where you can call.

Speaker 13 (01:03:06):
Uh.

Speaker 17 (01:03:07):
But I hope and pray again. I left Connecticut ten
years ago for South Carolina and that was one of
the best. That's the best move I ever made. What
I would like to know about all these people kind
of who continually vote for Democrats. They're regardless of their record.
And that's what scares me, because if there was a
Republican it I'm not I'm gonna I'm I'm an American,

(01:03:28):
not a Republican or a Democrat, and.

Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
It's a Republican is screwing up. I'm not going to
vote for him.

Speaker 6 (01:03:33):
Yeah, don't you, thank you, sir. Let's go to Wall Street.
Joe's on the line.

Speaker 3 (01:03:38):
What's up, buddy, Hey, you're.

Speaker 13 (01:03:41):
Talking about Larson, the man who would not vote for
Lincoln Riley's bill to protect women and children. There you go,
the man, the man who sat out his spat. But
they're in the State of the Union. He wouldn't honor
the Angel moms up in the gallery. The guy is
at the spic piece that you know what. But let

(01:04:01):
me give you some tips. If you want to put
in a little time, I can give you a little
history about John Larson. You're iced to live in Connecticut.
He's the ultimate political hack. He takes everything for granted.
But back in remember when the Republicans got back to
the House, or got the House in twenty eleven because

(01:04:21):
of the Obamacare outrage and Paul Ryan became the speaker. Ye, well,
when they opened up Congress, and this is where if
you really want to do some homework and you get
a wonderful SoundBite on John Larson and a lot of
other Democrats, including Pelosi. Back then when they opened up
the Congress in January of twenty eleven, you remember how

(01:04:44):
Ryan was trying to conduct business and the Democrats were
all like a bunch of I know, college rioters of this,
you know, nineteen sixties. They were all on the floor,
screaming and yelling. They had hard lips, they were drinking
all or drunk, and they wouldn't have left the business
of the Congress to go I don't know how many
days they delayed it with Paul Ryan up there trying to,

(01:05:05):
you know, bang for order. But you know what John
Larson was doing, and this is why it caught my eye.
It was despicable what the Democrats were doing. He was
on his hands and I'm surprised that it wasn't barking
like a dog, you know on your tape, because he
can really bark like a dog. He was on his
hands and knees and barking like the dog. Adding to
the loud dish. Really, yeah, he was barking like a dog.

(01:05:31):
And he can bark like a dog. He sounds like
a Siberian.

Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
All right.

Speaker 6 (01:05:35):
Well, you know, if I could find that clip, I'm
gonna look for it.

Speaker 13 (01:05:40):
Well it's somewhere unless I got a race in January,
January twenty eleventh, just fourteen years ago.

Speaker 6 (01:05:46):
Yeah, I will look for it. Thank you. Oh go
ahead real quick.

Speaker 13 (01:05:52):
Uh you're looking for a place to live, Yeah, why
don't you go back to Fountain Village in Manchester.

Speaker 3 (01:06:00):
I was thinking that, you know, it's so funny. I
was thinking that. I was, you know, it's so funny
because I was there last week. I drove through it.
And I don't know, it didn't look that different than
it did when I was. You know, when I used
to live there twenty years ago, I wouldn't mind. I
wouldn't mind it. It just seemed it was kind of nostalgic.

(01:06:22):
I didn't really think of it, but you're right, I
should go back.

Speaker 13 (01:06:25):
Well, it's nostalgic.

Speaker 6 (01:06:28):
What was nostalgic?

Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
Beautiful?

Speaker 13 (01:06:31):
Well for a Fountain Village, as it turns out, because
when I was thirteen, my father's working for Pratt Whitney
and he was commuting to Rhode Island for two or
three years and he had enough of Fountain Village had
just opened brand new in nineteen sixty eight.

Speaker 8 (01:06:45):
Oh.

Speaker 13 (01:06:46):
I went over there. They were brand new nineteen sixty eight,
and of course I was heartbroken. I had a beautiful
half acre, lightly wooded yard, lots of friends. I was
in ninth grade and we went over and brand new
dup Together Building, Abraham Lincoln Building, they're all named after
President's right.

Speaker 6 (01:07:04):
I was at ten.

Speaker 3 (01:07:05):
My apartment was ten downing, and it was what was
actually interesting about it was it's the it's a front
facing but rear door, like the rear door is where
you park, but It had a front porch that you
could go out into the little you know, the little
yard that goes out to the main road, and I
would be there. I would be out there with with

(01:07:27):
my son Ethan, and I would chip golf balls right
there and you know, into a into a cup.

Speaker 6 (01:07:34):
And it was like we had our own front yard.

Speaker 13 (01:07:37):
Well, as things turned out for me, I ended up
getting the three paper routes at thirteen to seventeen. I
had the old hard for Times that's now defunct, the
Hartford Current and the Manchester Herald. I had all three
paper routes. Wow, totally, totally, maybe three hundred plus you know, deliveries,

(01:07:58):
customers and the tips and the basic profit. And this
is back in nineteen sixty eight, sixty nine. You could
buy a Brandy time Pack carback then for two thousand dollars.

Speaker 6 (01:08:09):
Right, what would your take?

Speaker 13 (01:08:11):
I was netting with tips and everything over one hundred
dollars a week.

Speaker 6 (01:08:15):
That's good.

Speaker 13 (01:08:17):
And I say, for my Yukon three years of Yukon,
you know, I didn't buy a car. I wish I had,
but uh. And then of course the women you talk about,
the women that we were young young boys, were young
teachers there were young teachers. They were roommates all over
Fountain Village and uh oh.

Speaker 6 (01:08:37):
Was that really? Was that a teacher's facility?

Speaker 13 (01:08:41):
Well, no, no, no.

Speaker 6 (01:08:42):
When I said teachers like you know, and there was
like a lot.

Speaker 13 (01:08:44):
Of you found village every building. There was three hundred
and twenty six apartments in Fountain Village and Beacon Hill
next door. When Beacon Hill opened, I jumped right on
that and I picked up about seventy people there.

Speaker 2 (01:08:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:08:58):
I didn't like Beacon Hill. I always thought that finding
me like of Queen's. I didn't like that building.

Speaker 13 (01:09:03):
Yeah, but Fountain Village is more family and Beacon Hill
is more single. But the school teachers were all over
the place in Fountain Village. They're like roommates, but most
of them, most of them taught in the Hartford school system.
And I know you got to go. But my first
real serious involvement with a lady, I was going by

(01:09:23):
the Fountain Village pool on a Sareay afternoon in August
and I had my collection book. That was the day
I collected most of my money, collecting sixty cents a person.
That's how it was for a week Sunday and sixty
cents a week, so the good customers would give me
a dollar. That was a forty cent tip, and I'm
making twenty four cents, you know, basic. But anyway, I'm
going by the pool and one of the teachers on

(01:09:43):
my route usually wore glasses, but she's at the pool
by herself, no glasses on. I almost didn't recognize her.
And she was scannily back in nineteen seventy one. I mean,
she was just gorgeous, like out of a magazine. So
I went over to the fence and I said hi,
and she goes, Hi, Joe, when the Sports Illustrated edition
comes out this coming February, you should be on the cover.

(01:10:05):
You're better than any of the ones they've had on
the co repordal now And she came right over the fense.
Oh you're so sweet and that anyway, she took that
as a hint, and I'm not going to go any further.

Speaker 6 (01:10:14):
Yes, please don't yeh.

Speaker 13 (01:10:17):
Fountain Village. Fountain Village is a suspect in my heart.
I was there until nineteen eighty six. I got wow,
you know, at my house. You know, I was an adult,
you know, I stayed there. I went to Yukon came back.

Speaker 6 (01:10:27):
That's a lot of time. That's a lot of years.

Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:10:29):
I don't think I planned on being there that long.
Let me go, Joe, Thank you, boss man. I appreciate you.
I want to get to these crime statistics real quick
before we get a body here to take a break,
and then we'll bring Roseanne. And by the way, I
talk to you about what Roseanne's going to talk about today.
We have this weird conversation this morning about college athletes,
and I'll ask her about that when we get here. So,

(01:10:51):
according to this Yukon report, which says police in Connecticut
used force on black arrestees more often than on white ones,
according to the Yukon study, So we looked at the
numbers that they gave.

Speaker 6 (01:11:05):
Now listen to this again.

Speaker 3 (01:11:07):
I know number sucks, so I try my best to
convey them. They went through all of these cities, I'll
name them for you, New Haven, Hartford, Waterbury, East Hartford, Norwalk, Meriden, Manchester, Stamford,
New London, and West Hartford. Now these numbers get lower
as you go down the list. New Haven had won

(01:11:29):
twenty four. That's how many incidents were reported. Hartford one
oh nine, Waterbury one oh eight East Hartford one hundred,
Norwalk sixty three, Mereden fifty five, Manchester forty five, Stamford forty,
New London thirty six, at West Hartford thirty six, with

(01:11:51):
a total of six hundred and forty six. These are
fifty four percent of all incidents. These are the ones
that they are that there was excessive force. So we
went through this data with all of these excessive force reports,
and then we analyze what didn't make sense because as

(01:12:15):
they always are in these schools, they always skew it.
We'll take a break, but I'm gonna come back. Let
me tell you what we found in the report that Bridgeport, Connecticut,
the largest city, only reported according to the Yukon study,
seventeen incidents.

Speaker 6 (01:12:36):
It's why they didn't make the list. I just read
to you stand by more news, more views, and of
course this data. When we return.

Speaker 3 (01:12:42):
It's recent the radio on WTIC news Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 1 (01:12:45):
It's race on the radio on News ten eight WT.

Speaker 3 (01:12:48):
I see, I've only got a couple of minutes for this,
but I want to thank ready for correcting me. If
I said excessive force, I didn't mean to say that.
It's the use of force that's being studied by Yukon.
But here's the flaws that we found in it. It
says the underreporting of major departments. Bridgeport, Connecticut's largest city,

(01:13:08):
only reported seventeen incidents, far lower than smaller cities like
new Haven that got you know, far more, say it
should say, far less than smaller cities like New Haven
and Hartford got. Bridgeport is huge, and it wasn't in there.
The assumption of force frequency calculations the one point six

(01:13:29):
rate of force in fifteen hundred of ninety six thousands
arrests assumes that all use of force incidents led to arrest. However,
not all force incidents necessarily result in arrests. Inconsistent reporting
systems Connecticut State Police used different reporting systems, making direct

(01:13:51):
comparisons difficult. This could introduce biases in the data, especially
since state police incidents are included in the total, but
many don't align with municipal standards, potentially affecting racial or
contextual breakdowns. The lack of deeper causation analysis is not

(01:14:12):
in the report as well, and of course the mental
health overlap is not disaggregated. So a lot of this
was meant to do what it did, and that is
suggest that there are greater numbers as it pertains the
African Americans versus white but it takes out key data

(01:14:33):
and another part. It also kind of goes after large
black neighborhoods in order to suggest. So I'm just like
you know, it's fudging the numbers by making sure that
the incidents have more black folks than they do white
folks and then saying say they are aggressive with more
black folks. It's flawed, but that's yu konn What do
you expect? No offense. Sorrybody, that's just the way it goes.

(01:14:55):
Let's take a break. We got to get to our
first check of whether in traffic. Scott home is in
for Bob Larsenter. We've got Mark Christopher, He's in a
BTPs traffic center.

Speaker 6 (01:15:03):
How are we doing? Sorry, Happy Friday.

Speaker 4 (01:15:05):
Breece on the radio making sense of the news. Yeah,
even when it makes no sense at all at all.
Now on wt I see News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 3 (01:15:15):
All right, we're gonna take your phone calls in the
next hour. We got Roseanne coming up very soon. And
after we get another check of whether or in traffic
with Scott Homan in for Bob Larsen and Mark Christopher
in a BPS traffic center. We are going to come
back with none other than Greg Bugby, who's back on
the show for the third time from the Connecticut Agricultural

(01:15:36):
and Experiment Station.

Speaker 6 (01:15:38):
This phone call is going to be very.

Speaker 3 (01:15:42):
Informative because it's a story that we have been on
for months now about the application of DQUAT in the
Connecticut River and about alternatives to get rid of hydrilla,
and so we will talk about the progress that we got.
Greg Bugby made a promise to us that he would
get CND Underwater Maintenance out to the river to see

(01:16:04):
if they can pull a hydrilla without chemicals. That has
been done. I posted on my Facebook page if you're
interested in viewing that. But we're gonna talk to Greg
Bugby of c ae S about that process and what
he thought of it when we return.

Speaker 6 (01:16:18):
So stand by go nowhere. You don't want to miss.

Speaker 3 (01:16:20):
This interview with that, Let's get to some weather in traffic.
As I said, Scott Homan is in for Bob Larsen
and Mark Christopher. He's gonna b PS traffic center. Mark,
we we got we made some headroom with this hydrilla thing.
With the natural way. So we're gonna we're gonna talk
to Bugby about this. See what it looks like.

Speaker 9 (01:16:37):
That's great news. Great news. Get rid of that invasive
stuff without harming people.

Speaker 4 (01:16:41):
That's it's all about, priest on the radio, making sense
of the news.

Speaker 1 (01:16:46):
Yeah, even when it makes no sense at all at all.
Now on w T I see news Talk to eight.

Speaker 3 (01:16:52):
All right, we're back, let's get to it. Friend of
the show, Greg Bugby is on the line of c
a E. That's the Connecticut Agricultural Experimental Experiment Station.

Speaker 6 (01:17:04):
Greg, welcome back. It's a pleasure to have you here.
Thank you.

Speaker 18 (01:17:07):
Yeah, hi, reees, it's good to be back.

Speaker 3 (01:17:10):
So okay, so to give some people, I need to
start from the beginning. We had you on the program
talking about D QUAD. Of course, you were on Brian's
show talking about you know, the people who have been
protesting about the Houston of D QUAD.

Speaker 6 (01:17:24):
From his show, you ended up on my show.

Speaker 3 (01:17:26):
You had a meeting to go to at three o'clock
that time when you were on my show, and you
wanted to introduce a non herbicide way to remove hydrilla.
So we got you in touch with Jeff Cordisco of
CND Underwater Maintenance.

Speaker 6 (01:17:44):
It took a couple of weeks for you.

Speaker 3 (01:17:45):
Guys to finally get it, to get together and do this,
And it looks like when did this actual test run
take place?

Speaker 6 (01:17:52):
Was it yesterday this week?

Speaker 3 (01:17:54):
When exactly it was yesterday.

Speaker 18 (01:17:57):
We spent a rather long day yesterday on the river.
We found a site and a marina owner at Andrews
Marina right north of the bridge there, and he's had
him who allowed us to use his property, his launching
area and an area for disposal of material. So we
spent a long day yesterday. I was able to set

(01:18:20):
up three half acre plots, one for harvesting with a
was called an eco harvester, another which was what we
call a control which would have nothing done to it
in another which had a harvester plus a diver assisted
suction harvesting boat there where it was being sucked out

(01:18:40):
much like with an underwater vacuum cleaner. So we it
went very well, I must say, you know, with all
the equipment and boats sometimes things go wrong whether but
everything went very very well.

Speaker 2 (01:18:54):
We were able.

Speaker 18 (01:18:54):
To get out about a trailer load, which is like
five cuba ours of of hydrilla. I looked at it.
It looks like a fair amount of the root system
came with it, which was good to see. We didn't
see any dead fish, you know, in the that was
coming up with the material, like brog or turtles or

(01:19:16):
anything like that.

Speaker 3 (01:19:17):
So wow, that's that's actually really I didn't even you know,
it's so funny. I didn't think about that aspect, because
what we did know is that a fair amount of
fish actually hide in the hydrilla to evade prey.

Speaker 18 (01:19:31):
Right, yeah, that's what But we did not find that
at all. So that was another good thing to find.
And you know, as we move forward, we're going to
be going back to these plots. We we know, uh,
you know where they are. We got them geo referenced
with GPS systems, so we can go back find the
corners and and uh and and monitor the differences between

(01:19:54):
the techniques and the control sites.

Speaker 3 (01:19:56):
Now, this particular organization you hadn't worked with before for
and Jeffrey has done this for a long time. He's
I mean, he's one of what I would consider one
of the pros in this area. Tell me if you
could greg aside from what you've already described, you know, one,
they didn't pick up any fish or anything like that.
What was the most surprising thing you learned about this

(01:20:19):
non herbicide removal.

Speaker 18 (01:20:23):
Well, first of all, again it's you know, it's certainly
a feasible option. We have to you know, assess how
well it works, and you know, there's there's obviously costs involved.
But you know, I think to see that as I
mentioned that they were pulling roots, which I you know,

(01:20:44):
some of the traditional harvesting hueses cutters just cut you know,
mow it like a lawn, where their technique is one
where it pulls the roots and all.

Speaker 2 (01:20:53):
So that was good.

Speaker 18 (01:20:55):
I had not witnessed to this level anyway, this type
of harvesting before. I think that that's important to know
and in sport for others to realize that this is
not a typical harvesting with like a cutter that just
cuts it like a lawn. This pulls roots and all.

Speaker 3 (01:21:12):
Yeah, this was that was sorry to go draw, but
that was one of the biggest arguments that we were
getting from a lot of people when we tell it.
I talked to one of the environmentalists out of the
Long Island Sound and for the life of me. Their
name is escaping me. But I spoke to them for
a long time. In fact, we were almost arguing, and

(01:21:35):
he kept talking about fragmenting hydrilla.

Speaker 6 (01:21:39):
No, but that eco harvesting leads to.

Speaker 3 (01:21:41):
Fragmenting, and Frank and Jeff was telling us it doesn't
have to be that way. And it was often told
to us that it was the only thing that happened.
We eco harvesting, and now we know for certain that
there is a process of doing so you said, you
said something interesting, you said, but now you have to
evaluate the cost. Talk to me a little bit about

(01:22:04):
that from what you saw so far or anything that
you may have gleaned from from C and D if anything.

Speaker 18 (01:22:11):
Well, first of all, I want to give them credit
and given give you credit for sort of hooking us
up together because that.

Speaker 2 (01:22:18):
Was extremely important.

Speaker 3 (01:22:19):
Thank you.

Speaker 18 (01:22:20):
And they put a lot of effort into this. They
had I think five guys, two boats, you know, the
two divers in the water, so there was a lot
of effort there. So obviously that's going to be a
cost down the road. And they did an excellent job
and they really really combed this area that you know,
I think stem the stern and I think if we're

(01:22:43):
going to get great results, we're going to get it,
you know, with what they did. So again that's the
cost is down the road is going to be important
as is. You know, this plant is there's a lot
of unknowns with how it grows. We're able to When
I checked the material that came off, it came up
it had not produced what we call turions, which is

(01:23:03):
the reproductive structure that will produce plants next year. So
that because it had they had not produced it yet
and I don't think they will because they've been cut
back so much. That could be a big help. So yeah,
it's it's it's very interesting. I'm very glad we get it.
Uh the you know you need you need tools in

(01:23:25):
your toolbox. Yes, this is one which had not been
tested and uh, I think, uh it worked out extremely well.
I mean there was no no hiccups.

Speaker 2 (01:23:35):
It went well.

Speaker 18 (01:23:36):
And yeah, it's just a matter of seeing, you know,
what sort of control we have in a few weeks
and then you know, even next year we'll get back
looking to see if there's any long term control. And
you know, this can be compared to the herbicide usage
and you know, if it works as well, and it's
you know that's going to be a tool. You know
it's going to be an option.

Speaker 3 (01:23:57):
I was, you know, I was looking at some of
the data on this, Greg and if you're just joining
us Frost, Greg Bugby of the CIEES Connecticut Agricultural Experiment
Station is with us. There was one of the things
that we were looking at, and that was the budget
that had been proposed for the hydrilla removal with the
herba side, and the numbers for the herbicide removal, or

(01:24:19):
at least in the twelve sites that were going to
be used, that number it only reached to about one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars of a five million dollar
budget that was going to all of these research developments.
And that you have nothing to do with that. But
that's what was I was finding alarming about that. But
if we could, would it be And I'm just asking you,

(01:24:40):
you don't have to co sign this question. If you
haven't answered for it, I'd love to hear it from you.
But let's say we found out that the cost of
using a non herbicide removal like the eco harvesters was
half the cost from the federal government, like in other words,

(01:25:02):
it only costs two and a half million dollars to
have C and D due to project.

Speaker 6 (01:25:07):
Would that be.

Speaker 3 (01:25:09):
Cost effective or are you saying because again, the only
thing you guys would need to do is like do
research to make sure that this stuff wasn't coming back.
Even though we know that you can't get rid of hydrilla.
It's like herpes, it never goes away. But if this was,
if this was one of those projects that one we
didn't have to worry about the chemical concern, like coming
back to find out that the water is contaminated, the

(01:25:30):
only research we would be doing is finding out the
response or the re emergence of hydrilla. Would that be
helpful in any way?

Speaker 1 (01:25:40):
Oh?

Speaker 18 (01:25:41):
I think it would. I mean, I think techniques like this,
if effective, are going to be in demand. You know,
there's going to be certain certain areas, certain people and
codes and this and that that are gonna want non
chemical options. So if this works, this will this will
be fine. I mean, if if it's the same price

(01:26:01):
for you know, to do a certain area or less
and it works as well, I can't imagine why it
wouldn't be used.

Speaker 2 (01:26:08):
You know, it only makes sense, do you have to
go through.

Speaker 3 (01:26:14):
Do you have to go through a particular chain of
command in order for you to implement this process?

Speaker 6 (01:26:20):
Or like that.

Speaker 3 (01:26:21):
I know you don't have the final say, I mean
you're there in essence as a biologist or.

Speaker 6 (01:26:25):
A marine bio Like are you a marine biologist? I
thought you were.

Speaker 18 (01:26:29):
No, I'm a fresh water.

Speaker 6 (01:26:32):
Fresh water yeah, Ecollegiss's right.

Speaker 2 (01:26:35):
I'm not.

Speaker 18 (01:26:36):
I want to get salt water.

Speaker 2 (01:26:38):
Then I'm out.

Speaker 6 (01:26:38):
Okay, I appreciate that. Okay, I just won't make sure
I get it right.

Speaker 18 (01:26:43):
Now.

Speaker 6 (01:26:43):
I've got to ask you a question that's a little controversial.

Speaker 3 (01:26:46):
You may not know anything about this, but if you
didn't hear, and you probably did not, myself and two
guys took a boat out to Selden Cove because we
learned that there was a press release by the Car
Army Corps of Engineers that they were going to be
putting an herbicide in the cove. And we assumed that

(01:27:07):
when we got the press release in the Connecticut mirror,
no Connecticut insider that this was going to be a
d quat spread.

Speaker 6 (01:27:15):
So we set out to get there. We knew we.

Speaker 3 (01:27:18):
Couldn't get there by land because I had so many
people telling us who can't get there by land?

Speaker 6 (01:27:22):
So we got a boat and we went out and
the company.

Speaker 3 (01:27:25):
Called Solitude I'm sure you're familiar with, was out there
and they weren't using d quat. They were using an
herbicide called aquathal k. Are you familiar with it right?

Speaker 18 (01:27:37):
Yes? Yes, yes, very familiar with it.

Speaker 6 (01:27:41):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:27:42):
From the information that we gathered, five states in the
region banned the shipment and usage of aquathal k.

Speaker 6 (01:27:53):
Why would it be used in Connecticut in the cove?

Speaker 18 (01:27:58):
You know, I don't know most of these herb asides
like that you cannot purchase without a license, a supervisory license,
And so if you go online and try to purchase
even dy quad, you're probably told you can't. It will
not be shipped to Connecticut, and it might be the
same within des all. So you got to go through

(01:28:20):
certain distributors that keep records of the people who have
what's called supervisor licenses to apply products right, and then
then you can you get the products right.

Speaker 3 (01:28:31):
So pretty much like buying something that could be used
as some sort of weapon of mass destruction, so you
have to like have all the protocols totally understood. Now,
you said something earlier about this testing with the eco
harvesters that I'd like to apply to the Selden Cove story.
So you guys had to get authorization to launch from
a marina, right, You have to get authorization from the

(01:28:53):
individuals who, in essence, if it's off their land to
go into the Connecticut River, you have to go through them.
I can only assume that's the same case as Seldom Cove.

Speaker 2 (01:29:07):
Again, once you get in the water, it's different, you know.

Speaker 18 (01:29:10):
Okay, yeah, So again, as long as you're in the water,
you're on basically you know, state.

Speaker 6 (01:29:18):
Waters, okay.

Speaker 3 (01:29:19):
But if your let's say your home or your property
is surrounding that waterway, because the cove is you know,
a cove for those of you are not familiar, it's
almost like you know your property is on land, but
you know when you come out, you know, your dock
your boat there, or you know, you your kids can
just go fishing if they dive off the little platform there.
But in essence, you kind of have like a backdoor

(01:29:40):
natural you know, water pool.

Speaker 6 (01:29:42):
My question is.

Speaker 3 (01:29:43):
Is do you have to if you're spraying in herbicide
or they were just pouring it into the water. Do
you have to get permission from the homeowner in that
region or do they have no.

Speaker 2 (01:29:54):
Say as they.

Speaker 18 (01:30:00):
You don't necessarily need permission, they have to be notified
of it. The state gives the permission. Now normally when
you get a when you get your permit, and the
permit process requires you to notify the town that you're
doing this, and then the town can then.

Speaker 6 (01:30:22):
Have comments or object.

Speaker 18 (01:30:24):
You know, object you know, they they would have to
go to the deep to voice the objection, and it
may or may not be withheld the states. The state
had jurisdiction over the waters of the state. But yeah,
so that's you know, they they you know it. You
usually you know, it'll go through the town and if

(01:30:47):
if there's objections to residents, they'll make it known and
they can make it on the deep as well.

Speaker 3 (01:30:52):
Okay, you know, all right, No, No, I'm just wondering because
we had noticed some things there. The Army Corps of
Engineers never showed up and they did tell Solitude, told
us they were meeting in the Army Corps there for
them to supervise.

Speaker 6 (01:31:04):
And I got to tell you, Greg.

Speaker 3 (01:31:06):
They not only did they not show up, but one
of the guys who was dropping the aquathal. He dropped
a box right into the water like he just dropped it,
like it fell off the boat. It was the most
it was real keystone cop stuff blew our mind. Well,
I don't want to, like I said, I want to
get you into that controversy. I want to thank you

(01:31:27):
so much. Please, Greg, you have my personal number. Let
me know if there are any developments based upon you know,
when you guys go down there in a couple of
weeks to go check it out, if there's any changes,
if it was good or bad or indifferent, we'd really
want to know so we can inform the listener.

Speaker 18 (01:31:42):
Okay, I will do that, and you know you're welcome
to come out with me on my boat sometime.

Speaker 3 (01:31:47):
Greg, you listen. You don't have to ask twice. I'm
on that boat.

Speaker 6 (01:31:51):
I love it. Thank you so much, man, all right,
thank you, sir Greg Bugby.

Speaker 3 (01:31:57):
Folks of the Connecticut Agricultural Experimental Station. He's a good guy. Damn,
you couldn't get a better guy. He is honest to
his word. He has always been. When that guy told
us he was gonna call back after that meeting and
let us know the next day, he called us up.
You couldn't get a better guy who works for the state.
He's an honest dude, and not that it's rare, but

(01:32:19):
it's nice to see Greg. Greg Bugby. If you can
find a way to get get that guy a YELT
review or something, I love it. Let's take another check
of whether in traffic with Scott Homan filling in for
Bob Larsen and Mark Christopher.

Speaker 6 (01:32:34):
He's in the BPS traffic center. Hey Mark, heyes, stay.

Speaker 4 (01:32:39):
Race on the radio is on wt I see.

Speaker 6 (01:32:44):
Hey, we are back. It's Reesa on the radio with
Roseanne on the radio. Say hello, Roseanne, Hello Roseanne.

Speaker 3 (01:32:49):
We are back, of course for another ladies' night. So
we got plenty of stuff to talk about. I've got
to talk about some hating that Roseanne did this morning
about college athletes.

Speaker 6 (01:32:59):
We'll talk about that a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:33:01):
She has this typical response to these young men making
millions of dollars, and I don't seem to understand. I
don't think whatever, these young men making millions of dollars.
But before we get into that, we gotta get our
winner for between rounds?

Speaker 15 (01:33:17):
Is it me?

Speaker 5 (01:33:18):
No between between now?

Speaker 3 (01:33:26):

Speaker 6 (01:34:18):
Okay, which one I had?

Speaker 15 (01:34:19):
The It was bacon and egg on a jalapeno and cheddar.

Speaker 14 (01:34:24):
But I had pepper jack cheese on top and it
was melted.

Speaker 15 (01:34:29):
Oh so good.

Speaker 6 (01:34:29):
What was that accent?

Speaker 15 (01:34:31):
What accent?

Speaker 2 (01:34:32):
The one?

Speaker 3 (01:34:33):
Say the word again? Say that say the spice? I

Speaker 15 (01:34:46):
That's the proper way to say words.

Speaker 6 (01:34:49):
It's okay. The way did you say?

Speaker 15 (01:34:50):
You say a jela pino.

Speaker 6 (01:34:52):
No, I say hallopen, I say like.

Speaker 15 (01:34:55):
A normal person, my abnormal No.

Speaker 6 (01:34:59):
You sound like beaty Gonzales.

Speaker 15 (01:35:02):
Because that's the proper way to pronounce it.

Speaker 3 (01:35:04):
I didn't know that you actually had the code switch
on the damn words.

Speaker 15 (01:35:07):
It's not a code switch.

Speaker 14 (01:35:08):
I don't understand the proper pronunciation of the vowels in Spanish.
You understand how to pronounce the word properly.

Speaker 6 (01:35:14):
Say Vehicus. Say what Vicus? The island of Puerto Rico.

Speaker 15 (01:35:21):
Puerto Rico, perto Rico.

Speaker 6 (01:35:25):
My point exactly, No, just say Puerto Rico.

Speaker 15 (01:35:28):
That's what I said, Puerto Rico. It's not my fault.
You can't, you know, I don't know what to do
with that.

Speaker 6 (01:35:35):
People know what I'm saying.

Speaker 15 (01:35:37):
But you can't say it. That's the difference.

Speaker 6 (01:35:40):
What you think. I can't sound out the word, can
you roll your arms. Of course I can't.

Speaker 15 (01:35:46):
He like a child making the card noises. You're pushing
a little toy car.

Speaker 3 (01:35:59):
Speaking of let's go to the EPs traffic cent with
Mark Christopher.

Speaker 6 (01:36:04):
How you doing Mark?

Speaker 3 (01:36:05):
A lot of rooms out there, And.

Speaker 6 (01:36:10):
Good afternoon everyone. We're back in Trees on the radio
with Roseanne on the radio.

Speaker 3 (01:36:14):
We're hanging out on a ladies' night Friday night. We'll
get to your calls in a little bit after this.
Because Roseanne and I this morning were watching television, and
of course the football season is beginning, and college football
usually begins first the first Saturday before of course the
first Sunday, and they were going over some of the

(01:36:36):
money that some of the quarterbacks were making.

Speaker 6 (01:36:39):
And Roseanne sat next to me as we watched this, and.

Speaker 3 (01:36:43):
She was absolutely outraged at the amount of money that
was going to these kids. Now, mind you, we had
had plenty of years of debate about this over and
over again, and I didn't want to reduce it to
this is a mom.

Speaker 6 (01:36:59):
With a kid.

Speaker 3 (01:37:00):
It was about going to college. I'm sorry I did.
I didn't want to, but I did. Versus a dad
who's got sons who would love them to play college ball,
and it probably had plenty of discussions about how much
money college football makes and how much revenue is pulled
in over kids likeness in the sport. Plenty of you know,

(01:37:22):
guys who have gone on in the NFL will be great.
You know, these kids were stars before they ever reached
the NFL, and the student body, or at least the
athletic department in the schools, pulled in billions of dollars
doing this, not to mention the outside donations that they get.
And now that has been resolved and some well not resolved,

(01:37:42):
but somewhat resolved. So I'm looking at this list just
to tick Roseanne off. Let's go with the top ten
quarterbacks in college and the money they'll be making. So
I know you know none of these people, but I
know that when I say the money, you're gonna be outraged.
Let's start with number ten, Josh Hoover at TCU. It

(01:38:05):
looks like according to this he's in line to make
one point seventy five million dollars this year. Next up
is who's this other person? Leonoris Sellers of South Carolina.

Speaker 6 (01:38:17):
He looks like.

Speaker 3 (01:38:18):
He's gonna make one point eight million dollars. Avery Johnson.
He is of Kansas State. His numbers look like, uh,
let me see what the number about? Two million dollars.
Diego Pavia of Vanderbilt. His numbers look like, also two million.
John Mattiir of Oklahoma, he'll make three million. Drew Alter

(01:38:40):
of Penn State. These are all again very very you know,
high ranking schools. That young man is going to pull
in another three million. Dylan Royla of Nebraska looks like
he'll bring in three million plus some other stuff. Carson
Beck of Miami will bring in three point two million.
Bryce Underwood of Michigan he's going to get also three

(01:39:02):
million with some other stuff that I think is coming
in with that. Darien Mensa of Duke looks like he's
got what's his number, four million for the over the
next two seasons and five million per year with incentives
they're after. And I don't think is that the number one?

(01:39:22):
Is that the last one we had there? Yeah, number
one is there. So you saw those numbers and you
were like.

Speaker 15 (01:39:28):
Hell, no, you're giving high school kids.

Speaker 14 (01:39:31):
I mean literally, they're college kids, barely barely they probably
still have Mommy watch their underwear. Okay, you are giving
these children large quantities of money. Okay, past number one,
number two, they should be focused on education they're going
to And.

Speaker 15 (01:39:50):
I know you're like, well, they have to maintain a GPA.

Speaker 14 (01:39:53):
We went to one meeting at the boys' high school
with their football team, and they were doing anything and everything,
and they're possible to ensure that those guys passed, giving
them tutors, spending extra time, extra time to retake the test,
more options to retake the test, more one on one
with the teacher. I mean, if you can do anything

(01:40:14):
and everything to pad the the degrading, if you will
for these students, sure go ahead.

Speaker 15 (01:40:21):
But what you're.

Speaker 14 (01:40:21):
Failing to appreciate these men at some point are going
to go off into the world and be responsible for
other things.

Speaker 6 (01:40:30):
Yeah, I've been. I'm the way I look at it.

Speaker 3 (01:40:32):
And this is where you and I are having this
disagreement because you're saying they're they're getting all of this
very uh protective care with tutors and people who are
gonna help them through their academic lives in college.

Speaker 6 (01:40:48):
Well, I don't know why you might. You have to
move that wire or so there you go go.

Speaker 15 (01:40:51):
Ahead, all right, let's let's well, let.

Speaker 6 (01:40:53):
Me finish my point before you cut.

Speaker 15 (01:40:54):
Me off, I just want to say air quotes around
the help.

Speaker 6 (01:40:57):
Okay, but none.

Speaker 3 (01:40:58):
Okay, Let's just assume that they're getting tutors who are
going to get them through their daily lives in college.
Let's assume they're good actors here. Okay, you want to
go look down that. Okay, Well, I think it's a fair.

Speaker 15 (01:41:11):
Assumption about teenage boys.

Speaker 3 (01:41:13):
So anyway, so they get the tutelage that they need
in order to maintain a good GPA.

Speaker 6 (01:41:18):
They're getting an education.

Speaker 3 (01:41:20):
This is this should be afforded to them because one,
they provide a service to the school being star athletes, right,
being as good as they are in the game. It
is transactional, right, I play really really well, So you
take care of me. You make sure I'm fed, You
make sure that I'm taking care of on my education wise.

Speaker 6 (01:41:39):
Right, you make sure that at the end it should
I get injured and.

Speaker 3 (01:41:41):
I can't play football in the NFL, I don't get
drafted in the NFL at least I have something to
fall back.

Speaker 14 (01:41:47):
Yeah, in my career, intelligence your ability to your ability
to think because you utilize your education, providing them the
education to do that, and then millions of dollars on.

Speaker 15 (01:41:58):
You are literally buying students to come to your school. Now,
this is the.

Speaker 6 (01:42:03):
Parts an incentive. There's a difference between you.

Speaker 14 (01:42:05):
Are buying children to come to your school to exploit them.

Speaker 15 (01:42:09):
Okay, it's not.

Speaker 14 (01:42:10):
Explore it is, sure it is like I said earlier,
if they're going to get endorsement deals from you know,
all these different dealerships. Absolutely like that guy my name
is I just drove up and just calling up. Nobody
understood a word that kids said. But gosh, darn it,

(01:42:32):
give him six million dollars to go to college. He's
worth it. They don't know how, but anglage, but he
got switch.

Speaker 3 (01:42:41):
I mean, come on, I'll admit that a lot of
the kids that were in those commercials.

Speaker 14 (01:42:44):
Elevate the standard. Don't just give things away. Don't just
throw things at these children. What's wrong with your face?

Speaker 6 (01:42:53):
I just got breaking news.

Speaker 15 (01:42:54):
What happened?

Speaker 6 (01:42:55):
Is this real? Hold on?

Speaker 3 (01:42:56):
Sorry, I gotta go to it. Folks forgive me. We
interrupt this program because I've got to go to breaking news,
and thank you Michael C for this. We're going to
the headlines and according to that news, I don't see
it yet.

Speaker 6 (01:43:14):
Joey, are you there all right? Can you do me
a favor?

Speaker 3 (01:43:18):
According to reports, Yeah, Michael is saying in the chat
room that Brian Fahey, the officer that got into the
back and forth the spitting incident with Sean Reyes, has
formerly been arrested as a result of the investigation into

(01:43:39):
the spinning incident, and Michael is saying that w FSB
is reporting that I don't see it on their headline anywhere,
at least I don't see it as breaking news.

Speaker 6 (01:43:49):
So I'm looking at it now.

Speaker 3 (01:43:50):
Apparently there are Yeah, I don't think that there's anything
on here has yet. I'm going to upload their screen
to see if we got anything on it. It looks like, oh, joe,
you just send it to me, okay, sir, Yep, thank you, sir.
I appreciate it. Roseanne, I apologize. Just hold on for
me real quick so we can get to this breaking

(01:44:12):
news story because this is huge related to a story
that we covered here on the show. Yeah, this is
WFSB and here's the link. Former state police sergeant arrested
following then investigation into the viral YouTube confrontation. A former
state police sergeant has been arrested following the confrontation in

(01:44:33):
front of.

Speaker 6 (01:44:33):
His home on July eleventh.

Speaker 3 (01:44:35):
Disregarding, of course, the YouTuber Sean Reyes at police headquarters,
they say, of course, what happened in the video, which
you all know about that, and I am trying to
see if there is a if there is an actual charge.
He has been charged with disorderly conduct. According to this,

(01:44:58):
he was released on a court set prom us to
appear for arrayment at Danielson Superior Court on September third,
and Faithie was already placed on unpaid administrative leave while
the investigation unfolded, which, of course where he later retired.
Thank you, Michael, I appreciate it, and thank you for
the heads up on that. So if I may, we'll

(01:45:21):
get back to this conversation on the on the football thing.

Speaker 2 (01:45:26):
Just so.

Speaker 3 (01:45:26):
And I'm not saying this to rub it in, folks,
I'm not, but I gotta be straight with you. I
told you the story wasn't over. I told you it
couldn't be over. You can't catch a guy on camera
spitting in another man's face right then arrest the guy
and then no one want to answer for it. You
got ned Lamont walking by like he's annoyed after everything

(01:45:50):
he said about the police department, after George Floyd not
addressing it. Everybody looks like they have egg on their face,
and you're gonna tell me that. Brian Fayhee was not
gonna get rise. I warned you it always when I
tell you something's gonna happen, you gotta listen. You gotta listen.
It's about optics in this state and pretty much everywhere,
it's about the optics.

Speaker 6 (01:46:10):
And they were never gonna let that slide guy.

Speaker 14 (01:46:13):
I think this is a terrible charge, disorderly conduct. That
that is a clear battery.

Speaker 6 (01:46:17):
They didn't have any choice.

Speaker 15 (01:46:18):
That's a clear battery.

Speaker 14 (01:46:20):
Though he battered that young man when when a spit
left his body and made contact with the other, that
is a battery, a disorderly conduct. You get that for
you know, arguing in a bar. This guy literally made
physical contact with another human being. That is a battery.

Speaker 3 (01:46:41):
Yeah, but it wasn't looking good for the grotten police
to behave in that way in the atmosphere we are
when it comes to citizens, especially somebody who.

Speaker 15 (01:46:51):
Is you know. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 14 (01:46:52):
He should have the charge should have been more, should
have been a more, yes, severe.

Speaker 3 (01:46:57):
Charge, right, But this is one of those things where
and I know that that was why it is one
you've got to at least appear. This is you have
to appear is if there are consequences for his actions.
So when you've been weighing it this long and it's
been weeks, when you will you have to.

Speaker 15 (01:47:14):
Weigh this, Well, it's been a couple of months now.

Speaker 3 (01:47:17):
Yeah, probably so, because in fact, this was this incident
took place in June, I believe, I'm almost certainly it did, yeah,
July eleventh, So it's it's been a month and a half.
But when you're when you're weighing the option of what
to do in the situation, and you have an internal
affairs situation, the first thing they're thinking about is one

(01:47:37):
they hate Sean Reyes. Right, this guy's a scum, right,
he's always antagonizing the police.

Speaker 15 (01:47:42):
But on the other hand, they had to appear to
give a damn no.

Speaker 3 (01:47:45):
They also had a they also had a town hall
meeting where citizens came in and cursed out the the
the the town council about this and took the side
of Sean Reyes. So with that, you don't want that
situation to go viral. So what do you do you give?
People will give you your pound of flesh if you will.

Speaker 15 (01:48:05):
They had to appear to give it down exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:48:07):
You have to because again it's a PR campaign at
the end of the day, and so in this case, yes,
it's the order disorderly conduct. I know people are feelings though, wow,
you know they you know they only gave a morsel.

Speaker 6 (01:48:19):
But this is one of those things where I say, you,
guys told us they were going to do nothing. I
told you that couldn't be the case.

Speaker 3 (01:48:25):
Because again, it was a PR nightmare for the rotten
police and for the state. They had to especially when
you were talking about and screaming about so called police reforms.

Speaker 6 (01:48:35):
What also hurt them is that Rayes is Rayes. He's
a Hispanic male.

Speaker 3 (01:48:41):
And when you got all these people running around talking
about how much they care about the underclass and the
underserved what I did not call hims whatever, When they're trying,
when they're trying to give this appearance that they care
about the underdog and especially those people of color, they're

(01:49:01):
gonna look, look this, this goes against everything that they
believe or what they tell everybody is important. To them,
So you know that's what it is. Yeah, Laurie's mentioning
the d O D worker who threw the DLJ worker
through the cop.

Speaker 6 (01:49:16):
At the cop. Yeah, but that was again imagine this.

Speaker 15 (01:49:20):
That wasn't it exactly? And DC the white guy, white cop.
Nobody cares.

Speaker 3 (01:49:26):
No, no, no, that's not why if you look at that
grand jury, that grand jury in d C. That grand
jury is never ever going to indict somebody who did
something in protest to Donald Trump. They were never gonna
put an indictment down. And again with the whole adage
that you can indict a ham sandwich, apparently.

Speaker 14 (01:49:44):
Not not a But.

Speaker 3 (01:49:48):
Yeah, it's incredible that this happened. But I told you guys,
please it. I'm gonna go back to this, as corny
as it may sound, I worked in public relations. I
didn't work in public relations where I worked with some
you know, startup rap group. Okay, some guy trying to

(01:50:09):
get his name in a newspaper, Okay, Dion. My first
day was running interference for Dion Warwick being caught with
marijuana at an airport. That was my first day on
the job, and I spun that story for her. So
when I tell you at the PR game. I understand

(01:50:29):
it through and through. I used I'll tell you another
story before we go to break. I used a virtually
unknown producer and got him on MTV on my first try.
When it mattered on MTV on my first try. And
do you know how I did it? I mentioned Jennifer
Lopez and Mariah Carey in his press release. I want

(01:50:53):
to know why? Oh also Aliyah, not Aliyah, the other one?
Uh Ashanti?

Speaker 6 (01:50:58):
You like her?

Speaker 3 (01:51:00):
Mentioned those three women in his press release. You want
to know why? Because he was an unknown producer who
produced every one of their hit records. And I said,
who's the producer who makes Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey and
Ashante look as good as they say, sound as good
as they look? Seven Aurelius.

Speaker 6 (01:51:16):
Look them up.

Speaker 3 (01:51:17):
It's number seven Aurelius. I was his publicist. That guy
was a virtual alone known before you knew it. He
was starring in an Ashanti music video and he was
being called by Michael Jackson.

Speaker 6 (01:51:29):
I heard.

Speaker 3 (01:51:29):
I watched him hang up the phone on Michael Jackson
three times. The guy was a nobody. So I know
this game. PR is my game, and they were not
going to let this be a pr nightmare for them.
They had to do something.

Speaker 6 (01:51:41):
We'll take a break, we'll come back, more news, more views.

Speaker 3 (01:51:44):
Let's get into the weather in traffic with Scott Homan
and Mark Christopher's in the BPS Dravick Center.

Speaker 6 (01:51:50):
Here she is Dr Warwick.

Speaker 3 (01:51:53):
She had five joints in her purse in her luggage
at an airport.

Speaker 15 (01:51:59):
Nowadays that recreational use.

Speaker 19 (01:52:03):
She still sounding great, She still sounded great. Yeah, nothing
gravelly in that voice.

Speaker 3 (01:52:08):
Absolutely, but you know what I can guarantee you she
was very mellow in the studio.

Speaker 19 (01:52:11):
Yes, very how David and Burt Backrack had no problems
dealing with her after a few jays.

Speaker 1 (01:52:20):
Hey, it's it's it's on the radio.

Speaker 4 (01:52:23):
Ask your doctor of common sensus, right for you, right
for you on news talk.

Speaker 1 (01:52:28):
Tad W T.

Speaker 3 (01:52:29):
I see all right, we're back to our regular scheduled program.
Rosean's in the house. Yeah, so just before we because
we only got about thirty seconds. You know what, we'll
wait until we get through these phone calls and then
we'll finish our discussion about college kids getting an education
while making millions of dollars.

Speaker 6 (01:52:48):
You're okay with them being used in this way?

Speaker 15 (01:52:51):
Not used.

Speaker 2 (01:52:52):
No.

Speaker 14 (01:52:53):
I just think that it's more important that they focus
on what's actually important.

Speaker 15 (01:52:57):
While they're in school, and that is education.

Speaker 14 (01:53:00):
And I don't think it's appropriate to buy certain people
and ignore others. Honestly, if I had to decide on
who's gonna make a bigger impact on the world, I'd
rather buy six million dollars for a neuroscientist or a chemist,
or you know, an entire group of people who are
making endeavors toward the betterment of the entire world, rather

(01:53:21):
than some idiot who's gonna play ball for six or
seven years.

Speaker 6 (01:53:24):
You use, they're not the idiots because they play.

Speaker 15 (01:53:27):
No, you're right, they're not idiots.

Speaker 14 (01:53:29):
I apologize that was but if I had to choose
between an intellectual or an athlete who's gonna retire at
forty and like that's it, they're done. Oh wait, college,
So you know, I keep hearing fours go college was
the hardest five ye as a my whole lot.

Speaker 3 (01:53:45):
When sitting up here saying Roseanne was hating on these
NFL players, on these college football players, she goes, I'm
not hating, and then you do that, Well, listen.

Speaker 6 (01:53:54):
I gotta I gotta go to I gotta go. I
gotta go to weather.

Speaker 3 (01:53:57):
Just do I have to go to weather traffic? I
just don't Scott Scott Holman is in for Bob Larsen.
What Christomper's in the BPS Jaffic Center. I don't know
what I'm gonna do here.

Speaker 6 (01:54:07):
Mark back to you.

Speaker 3 (01:54:09):
Just get people home, man out, I'm out, you got it,
you gotta.

Speaker 6 (01:54:12):
We are back.

Speaker 3 (01:54:13):
It's Reesa on the radio with Roseanna on the radio.
Let you know what century we're here. Might as well
get to the phones because people have been to hold.
White Mike is back. What's going on, sir?

Speaker 2 (01:54:24):
Oh man? Gosh, so much has gone on since I've
been sitting on hold for.

Speaker 13 (01:54:28):
An hour and a half.

Speaker 6 (01:54:29):
I'm sorry, but I've got stuff I got to do.

Speaker 2 (01:54:33):
So I'm gonna start out with a little quote for
just you and me, little inside baseball.

Speaker 3 (01:54:37):
Okay, if you want to know who rules, you.

Speaker 2 (01:54:41):
Find out who it is. You can't criticize.

Speaker 7 (01:54:43):
Ooh like that? I like that.

Speaker 2 (01:54:48):
Well, Reese knows what this is about, right, So let's
talk about professional sports and college sports. You realize there
are only two professional sports center of the Big four
that allow athletes to go right from college to professional sports. Right,
what are those two?

Speaker 6 (01:55:07):
Football and basketball?

Speaker 2 (01:55:10):
Nope, yes, Roseanne's right, your one hundred and eighty degrees opposite. Really,
you can go from high school to play Triple A
baseball and then go to the pros. And you can
go from high school to play pro hockey. Why is this,
I'll tell you why. It's because college baseball and hockey
don't make any money, okay, and college basketball and college

(01:55:34):
football are huge. There's there's realistically no possibility for someone
to go from high school to the NFL. You need
four years to go into your man body and get
your skills. But plenty of guys are capable of going
from the NBA from high school to the NBA. Moses Malone,
Kree Lebron. Right, So the NBA, after they lost Lebron,

(01:55:57):
after the NCAA lost Lebron, they passed the rule that
said you have to do a year in the G
League or a year in college to play pro basketball. Okay,
because the NCUBA didn't want to lose the money losing
marquee athletes. Sure, so, why did Why did Cooper Flag
have to waste a year of his career go into

(01:56:18):
duke That guy could have gone to the pros right away.
It's money. Now, I don't have a problem with these
guys making money in college. AMVL was supposed to be
away for these guys to get a piece of the pie.
This all came about because Ed O'Bannon ensued Electronic Arts
when they were using his image in an NCAA basketball

(01:56:40):
That is correct, right, Yes, so these guys should be
allowed to profit from their image. I'm one hundred percent
by I don't. I do not think that colleges should
be paying players to play.

Speaker 6 (01:56:52):
Well, okay, well hold on, let's let's let's let's investigate that.

Speaker 2 (01:56:55):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:56:56):
You said if they use their likeness on jerseys or
in video games, any thing outside of the game, endorsement wise, right,
if they they should be able to profit from that,
because again, those those entities are.

Speaker 6 (01:57:08):
Not in the school.

Speaker 3 (01:57:10):
You think that it's a fair trade with the school
because they're paying for their tuition costs usually their housing,
and they're eating and that's that should be a fair trade.

Speaker 2 (01:57:19):
Well, look, bro, I live in the South, I've grown
up in SEC coast.

Speaker 20 (01:57:24):
You can say that you look and when you look
at the size of the stadiums that these football players
play in, sure, there's billions of dollars being made.

Speaker 2 (01:57:35):
Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gaysville is massive. It's about
as big as Raymond James in Tampa. Michigan Stadium holds
one hundred thousand people. They make billions of dollars off
these kids. I have no problem with them getting endorsements
and selling their image. You know, it's different for girl
athletes like you have. Libby Dunn, who's a gymnast from

(01:57:57):
lu made a fortune. Yea, but you should be a
fortune because she's hot, right, because nobody gives a crap
by college gymnastics.

Speaker 6 (01:58:04):
Right, It's true. They don't, not unless they're hot, not
unless they're hot.

Speaker 2 (01:58:09):
Let the kids make their money. And if these boys,
these young men can make money endorsing local car dealers
or Gatorade or Zasbies or Raisin Knes, fine, I'm fine
with it. I think it's bs that these football players
have to waste four years of their lives in college
football when they should be given a shot to go

(01:58:30):
to the pros.

Speaker 6 (01:58:31):
But let me ask you this.

Speaker 3 (01:58:32):
I don't think you I don't think you've given me
a reason yet. Why do you think that the schools
shouldn't pay them. Do you think there's a conflict in.

Speaker 2 (01:58:39):
There or like because they're because they're amateur athletes, Okay,
they're not professional athletes.

Speaker 3 (01:58:44):
And do you think that there is a do you
think that because there's money involved, that there is a
likelihood that that they in others, they'll make them sign
a contract that makes it difficult for said player to transfer.
Should they you know, they feel like they're benched or
something like that to get he keeps them.

Speaker 2 (01:59:02):
I absolutely believe that the transfer portal should be eliminated.
It's going to destroy college football period. These guys when
they signed their contract, they should be a force to
stay for four years or there should be such a
penalty for them trying to leave that it screws their career.

(01:59:22):
You should have to wait two years if you're going
to transfer. Good luck playing college football as a twenty
two year old.

Speaker 3 (01:59:28):
Yeah, okay, true, but it's focus.

Speaker 2 (01:59:31):
I mean, the colleges invest a lot of money in
these guys and they're trying to build legacies. It's such
a complicated issue because how could you have paid Tim
Tebow enough to be a college quarterback at US what's
the number, you know, one hundred million dollars. How much
did he make for this he did?

Speaker 3 (01:59:48):
You know, it's so true because Tim Tebow was I mean,
he was the franchise. I mean it was he. He
was the guy was on the cover of GQ behind
his college ball play like this guy I was the thing.

Speaker 2 (02:00:03):
He was amazing. Tim Tebow is the greatest college quarterback
ever to play college football. Yep, it's inarguable. He's the best.
You couldn't have paid him enough. So if he'd been
allowed to do endorsements, I mean, tibo could. I mean,
he's not hurt now. Tim Tebow's rich and he's married
to like Miss Universe or something.

Speaker 6 (02:00:22):
But no, no, but I'm thinking about this, Mike, I'm
thinking about this on miss level.

Speaker 3 (02:00:27):
Think about the college player who may have been a
part of a program that was stellar and grade and
because of whatever reason.

Speaker 6 (02:00:37):
It may be, he gets drafted sixth round.

Speaker 3 (02:00:40):
You know, like that, there's a likelihood that this guy
never ever reaches the You know, you can't.

Speaker 6 (02:00:47):
Everybody can't be sixth round, Tim tom Brady.

Speaker 15 (02:00:51):
But that's the price you pay for deciding to make it.

Speaker 14 (02:00:55):
That's the price you pay for deciding to go into athletics,
right that would be like, say, what if a choir,
you know, a church choir girl goes and you know produce,
goes to a producer and makes the whole album. Should
she be paid while she's in the choir because I'm
in college on? Should she be paid while she's singing

(02:01:15):
in the church choir, collegiate college choir, okay? Or a
professional band athlete or a college band you know person form,
should they be paid high dollar value because when they
go out into the real world, they might not make.

Speaker 15 (02:01:29):
That she's bringing in the books, but they might not
make that same money. That's a ridiculous argument.

Speaker 14 (02:01:34):
You are making a decision to go into something like
athletics knowing that there's only so many slots available in
the NFL. Not everybody who plays college ball is going
to get drafted into the NFL's risky.

Speaker 6 (02:01:48):
Take hold on, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (02:01:50):
The big thing you're missing here is college choir makes
no money.

Speaker 6 (02:01:54):
Nobody's making money.

Speaker 15 (02:01:55):
That was a hypothetical, total hypothetical reason.

Speaker 2 (02:01:59):
These guys need to be allowed to capitalize on their
earning potential is because somebody's making money.

Speaker 15 (02:02:06):
Off of it, right absolutely, enorments is.

Speaker 2 (02:02:11):
Every athlete is one bad tackle away from a career ending.

Speaker 6 (02:02:17):
But that's again, that's the angle I'm coming from.

Speaker 14 (02:02:19):
Then that's why they focus on their education and not
solely on athletics.

Speaker 2 (02:02:23):
And if we're going to be realistic, most of these
guys who are playing college football have no business being
in college academics.

Speaker 13 (02:02:31):
True.

Speaker 2 (02:02:31):
I've said before, I would love to say a spelling
bee at halftime of n CUBA football and basketball games.

Speaker 15 (02:02:39):
Simple algebra problem goes right.

Speaker 2 (02:02:42):
Spelling bee. It's like I want to see the dback
spell phlebotomous.

Speaker 14 (02:02:49):
All right, Well, finally, and that's exactly the reason why
I don't think you should be paid should be buying
college students. They're not there for the purpose of the school.
The schools purpose for existing is not college football. The
school's purpose for existence is to educate students.

Speaker 15 (02:03:06):
Well, no, then there should be money. There should be
a separate entity for college football.

Speaker 2 (02:03:15):
Well, NCAA football and basketball pay for all the BS
sports that are also, That's.

Speaker 3 (02:03:21):
True, they are all under the umbrella exactly like volleyball exists.
Growing Yeah, volleyball exists Duke because of Duke basketball.

Speaker 2 (02:03:29):
You know what I mean. It's like, it's so it's money,
and if the schools are making money off them. These
guys should have a chance to make money off their image,
because God forbid, what something happens and they bow their
knee out, they at least they got a little money
out of their.

Speaker 15 (02:03:41):
Times, right, And that's what I'm saying. I agree with endorsements.

Speaker 14 (02:03:44):
I just don't think that the school should be out
there buying children to exploit their.

Speaker 2 (02:03:49):
Absolutely not like arch Manning. Arch Manning's earning every penny's
getting the endorsements.

Speaker 15 (02:03:54):
Even million dollars.

Speaker 2 (02:03:57):
Yeah, good for arch I agree.

Speaker 6 (02:04:00):
I'm gonna have to mark this day on a calendar.

Speaker 1 (02:04:02):
What is that?

Speaker 3 (02:04:03):
August twenty ninth, White, Mike and Roseanne agree with one another.

Speaker 6 (02:04:07):
God bless you, Mike. I appreciate yourself.

Speaker 18 (02:04:10):
You got it.

Speaker 6 (02:04:11):
Uh yeah, Look, I think I'm just saying.

Speaker 3 (02:04:14):
Look, this was something that I wrestled with for a
long time because for years we were having this conversation
about whether or not football players in college should get money,
and I every time he brought it up, I was going,
I see this, But then I see that, and I
came around to the idea, thinking about it for a
long time, saying to myself that not that I was.

Speaker 6 (02:04:34):
Against the school making a boatload of money through it.

Speaker 3 (02:04:38):
Not just again, not just through ad dollars and television
because you know, they signed these contracts for like NBC
or ABC wherever the games are gonna be played, ESPN
of course, and the like. But as those things were
growing to FS one and all these other you know networks,
that I saw a great money opportunity there in these kids.

(02:04:58):
I kept thinking about them in the sen of about
five percent of all these football players ever make it
to the pros, right, and out of them, not all
of them become stars.

Speaker 6 (02:05:09):
Some of them just become practice players.

Speaker 14 (02:05:11):
Right.

Speaker 15 (02:05:11):
So here's here's where my thought process goes on this.

Speaker 14 (02:05:15):
Right, instead of giving the students these millions of dollars
to show up to play football, all that money that
they're making off of these student athletes should be reinvested,
one into the community, right, because if you look at
most of the communities around a lot of these universities
straight garbage.

Speaker 13 (02:05:31):
Right.

Speaker 14 (02:05:31):
But the other thing is, instead of collecting government endorsements
for research, why not take some of that college you
know that in that money that the athletics department is getting,
and reinvest it into the study of whatever cancer you know,
baby farts, whatever it is that they're in they're researching.

Speaker 15 (02:05:49):
You know, the school should hold a bigger.

Speaker 14 (02:05:52):
Responsibility for funding those things, especially if they're collecting millions
of dollars off their athletics program and and leave taxpayer
dollars to other things like I don't know, building bridges
and fixing roads and you know, homeless veterans. There are
better ways to spend government money than you know there are.
Your paying a student six million dollars to show up

(02:06:12):
to play football. Meanwhile they're also getting four hundred and
fifty million dollars from the government to research.

Speaker 15 (02:06:18):
I just think ratpoo, I.

Speaker 3 (02:06:20):
Just think that when it comes to these kids putting
their limb on the line, just just something about it
that just says that I think they should at least.

Speaker 15 (02:06:32):
They should be allowed to get endorsements. Well, school's not
gonna be buying well.

Speaker 3 (02:06:36):
Remember car dealership's not going to give an endorsement to
an offensive lineman at MISSOO.

Speaker 14 (02:06:43):
It's just decided to go into When the boy decided
to play football, what's what was my position on that
he's gonna get injured? No, my position was, no, you
were not an athlete I did not raise an athlete.
Why did I not raise an athlete? Because one shot me,
one shot me? You know, too many hits to the

(02:07:04):
to the any physical injury, and you're done. You're you're,
You're no longer a future in that realm. However, if
I focus on your brain, unless you do something really stupid,
like driving down the highway at ninety ninety two miles
an hour at midnight and end up in a car crash,

(02:07:24):
your brain is going to be intact and you will
be capable of many, many things.

Speaker 6 (02:07:30):
You are such a mom in this in the sense
of look, maybe.

Speaker 14 (02:07:34):
Again, I'm thinking about the long term sustainability of this
young man. I have to have something to look forward
to when it's time to retire.

Speaker 6 (02:07:41):
Okay, can I retake my show a little bit now?

Speaker 15 (02:07:44):
Reclaiming your time? Take your time, reclaim your time.

Speaker 3 (02:07:48):
We already got to go into a commercial break. You
have been like you won't give me a like a
a word edge wise, you are subject.

Speaker 15 (02:07:55):
Three hours before I got here. I don't know what
you're griping about.

Speaker 6 (02:08:00):
Well on this subject, I'd like to say little something. Now.

Speaker 3 (02:08:03):
I'm not gonna take it now, I'm going to do
it in the next break, and they're gonna cut your
mic off so I can say it without a ruption
because you talk over you don't hear.

Speaker 15 (02:08:14):
Me on your mic.

Speaker 3 (02:08:15):
Matt is saying, you guys are missing the whole argument.
The reason you don't get paid. You don't pay college athletes.
It's because schools will be will become or have the
have and have not uh, and it will will no
longer be competitive schools that don't have tons of money.

Speaker 15 (02:08:34):
Yeah, I think schools are gonna lose a lot of
money buying.

Speaker 6 (02:08:37):
I think that they are.

Speaker 3 (02:08:38):
Going to eat. Yes, there are, there are, But you
know what that's like saying, am I gonna play for
the Green Bay Packers instead of the Dallas Cowboys.

Speaker 6 (02:08:46):
Because the Cowboys are?

Speaker 14 (02:08:48):
It's not because if you make it to that level
then you've earned it. But until then, shut up and
take your lumps.

Speaker 3 (02:08:56):
And now we go to Weather and Traffic with Scott
Homan and for Bob Larsen and Mark Christophers at a
BPS traffic center.

Speaker 19 (02:09:03):
Maybe I'll get my show when we return. Hey, Mark,
you guys are gonna have a little tug of war
over the microphone. Apparently it's like I'm regretting putting on
here today. It was like a sporting event. Sounds like
you guys could get some endorsement money out of this.
It works out.

Speaker 15 (02:09:19):
Who's buying me?

Speaker 9 (02:09:21):
Af you're heading in our day?

Speaker 1 (02:09:25):
Race on the radio is on to w T.

Speaker 14 (02:09:27):
I see.

Speaker 3 (02:09:30):
My wife had to go get a blanket and a
sweater because apparently it's cold in my studio.

Speaker 6 (02:09:38):
It's amazing how that works.

Speaker 3 (02:09:41):
We got more news and more views coming up. Roseanne
and I will of course be sharing those stories with you.
Uh if you haven't heard programming. Note, we will not
be here on Monday because of course it's labor Day
and a lot of people will be, you know, doing
their thing. Usually I would be putting the labor in
labor Day, but we don't do that anymore apparently, So

(02:10:01):
I'm sad, and my wife, of course is gleeful because
I get to put stuff in boxes as we.

Speaker 6 (02:10:07):
Prepare for our move.

Speaker 15 (02:10:09):
But what's the next day?

Speaker 6 (02:10:10):
What do you mean the next day? Wow, after labor Day? Well,
I know it's garbage.

Speaker 15 (02:10:17):
Day, and yeah about to garbage day.

Speaker 6 (02:10:24):
It's Roseanne's birthday, Like I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:10:26):
By the way, you know, my mom told me that
when I was sixteen, I ask my mom, said, Mom,
you know what today is? She goes garbage day?

Speaker 7 (02:10:35):
Right, Yeah, you're just excited. I get my haircut that
day too.

Speaker 9 (02:10:43):
You would you would?

Speaker 6 (02:10:47):
Wasn't you need a day off to pack?

Speaker 2 (02:10:49):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (02:10:50):
No, I don't need a day off. My wife is
making me take the day off.

Speaker 3 (02:10:53):
In fact, I'll be packing all weekend because like, we're
not taking everything. We have to take the stuff that
we need and a lot of stuff we're leaving. We
own the house, so we're not you know, in essence,
we're not taking everything we have. We do have to
store some stuff as we got someone moving in, uh
to take the house for a year, so they'll be

(02:11:14):
renting the house for a year while we are in Connecticut.

Speaker 2 (02:11:17):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (02:11:17):
And I've got so much stuff to do there.

Speaker 3 (02:11:20):
Oh you know what, I totally forgot about this since
you're here, Joe Joey, do we have a direct Ethernet
line in the studio? Like if I if I brought
in my PC, I can connect to Ethernet? Right Yeah, okay, good.
I was wondering whether or not that was possible. Okay,
So that means that I'll be able to record the
inside studio live through the streaming you know device that

(02:11:42):
I have. Because that's the sort of thing I'm not
I can say.

Speaker 7 (02:11:45):
Well, i'll have to Yeah, yeah, I got a whole
plan when you're going to talk to you about that?

Speaker 6 (02:11:49):
Really?

Speaker 7 (02:11:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (02:11:51):
Oh okay, all right, I'm excited to hear that.

Speaker 7 (02:11:53):
It's all I'm excited to do.

Speaker 15 (02:11:55):
With, no no, no doubt.

Speaker 6 (02:11:56):
Okay, look at that.

Speaker 3 (02:11:58):
Joey's thinking way ahead of me. I love see Joey's
meant for this. He've been doing it for too long.
This is the guy that you need in your corner.

Speaker 6 (02:12:05):
That's the reason why I love wt IC.

Speaker 3 (02:12:07):
I'm just telling you, it's the reason why these guys
are always thinking in the same wavelength.

Speaker 6 (02:12:11):
Is yours truly?

Speaker 15 (02:12:13):
Well?

Speaker 7 (02:12:13):
That I got Loadjack on my ankle. I'm not allowed
to leave it.

Speaker 3 (02:12:15):
Two radios, This is true. I don't know how you
get out of state. Uh, let's get another check of
the weather. In traffic, Scott Homan is in for Bob
Larsen and Mark Christopher. He's in a BPS traffic center. Hey, Mark,
we are back. Reese on the radio, about to get
up out of here. Roseanne on the radio hanging out
as well. So, Roseanna, I've got some bad news for you.

(02:12:37):
It's not news that you would really care about, but
you have used this particular company services recently.

Speaker 6 (02:12:47):
In fact, the last time we use them.

Speaker 3 (02:12:50):
Let's just say I flew for a longer time than
I expected to the Yellow.

Speaker 6 (02:12:57):
Oh yes, well, no, it's okay, because it's in the
it's in the in the news.

Speaker 3 (02:13:03):
It turns out, for the second time this year, Spirit
Aviation's Holdings has filed for bankruptcy.

Speaker 15 (02:13:11):
That explains a lot.

Speaker 3 (02:13:14):
Explains a lot, they're saying for the second time in
less than a year, the parent company of the ultra
low cost Spirit Airlines tries to show up its balance
sheet amid challenges for budget air carriers. Now, you said
something that was interesting, and Joey, I don't know if
you know this, because you know, you sometimes take the
family out, you know, and about you go in fact,

(02:13:36):
you come out to Texas, Neil. So according to Roseanne,
that there is an even cheaper airline that we could
fly out of Dallas into.

Speaker 15 (02:13:50):
Tweed, Dallas or Houston or Houston.

Speaker 6 (02:13:53):
It's a vella, okay.

Speaker 7 (02:13:55):
See I usually go into I have to go into Austin. Well,
I don't have to go in to Austin, but it's.

Speaker 3 (02:13:58):
Usually where we end up this right, you go right,
Austin is literally what it's an hour and a half
north of us.

Speaker 6 (02:14:04):
Yeah, it's an hour and a half north of us, right,
but that's for you.

Speaker 3 (02:14:07):
That's roughly about thirty minutes right out of where you're headed, Joey.

Speaker 7 (02:14:11):
Right, Yeah, it's not bad.

Speaker 6 (02:14:12):
Yeah, it's a short ride.

Speaker 3 (02:14:14):
But you can go out of Dallas, which for you
would be about three hours, for us would be about four.
But we could drive out, fly out of Dallas and
go into Tweed and then just rent a car from
there and just go up.

Speaker 6 (02:14:27):
And you said the pricing is Roseanne is really really cheap.
What was the last press was?

Speaker 15 (02:14:32):
It was fifty bucks?

Speaker 6 (02:14:33):
But uh oh wan Mechael says that they fly into Bradley.

Speaker 14 (02:14:36):
Now, yeah, they do fly in to Bradley, but you
have to use like only certain so Bradley.

Speaker 15 (02:14:43):
If we flew from Houston to d C, right, then
we could pick up DC to Bradley, but it's not
a direct flight.

Speaker 6 (02:14:53):
You can pick I don't mind them trains, I don't
mind the connected.

Speaker 7 (02:14:56):
Well, yeah, there's not even much direct from Bradley to Austin.
We've never been able to go direct, right, Okay.

Speaker 15 (02:15:02):
So the tickets that I saw were fifty bucks.

Speaker 14 (02:15:06):
However, yes, uh, you have to pay for your seat
inside the airplane, which is a different cost, and then
you pay for your bag, and then.

Speaker 15 (02:15:14):
You pay for your check bag. So ultimately you end
up paying the.

Speaker 6 (02:15:19):
Same price, so the same price as you would with
Spirit pretty.

Speaker 15 (02:15:22):
Much any other airline.

Speaker 7 (02:15:24):
It's like Columbia House subscription.

Speaker 2 (02:15:26):
So it is.

Speaker 3 (02:15:29):
We're going to catch you this one time, right, which
I didn't understand that you could do that. It is
an airline, right, you can pay for the flight a
la carte flying. Yeah, you have to pay for the flight,
but then you have to pay for a seat. So
I'm like, what if I pay for the flight and
I don't buy a seat, do I stand like I'm
riding a bus?

Speaker 6 (02:15:47):
Like yeah, yeah, exactly, like I'm taking the subway. Is
it that kind of deal?

Speaker 14 (02:15:53):
Well, the regular seats are like like fourteen or fifteen dollars,
and then a seat that you would need is closer
to like fifty fifty five dollars.

Speaker 3 (02:16:03):
Now that's not bad if the flight is fifty and
then the seat is fifty bucks.

Speaker 6 (02:16:08):
It's still one hundred dollars that was.

Speaker 14 (02:16:10):
At the beginning of the summer. I just looked not
too long ago, and it's like one hundred and thirty
dollars a flight now, which still isn't bad, but nickel
and diming it for the two of us to fly,
it's gonna end up being the same part.

Speaker 3 (02:16:20):
But I look at the Nickel because first of all,
round trip on any other regular major airline per person,
we're looking upwards of seven hundred bucks right generally, So.

Speaker 15 (02:16:30):
I prefer I prefer Southwest. That's my preferred airline.

Speaker 6 (02:16:34):
Since I've known you.

Speaker 3 (02:16:35):
You love them, but even they're sort of losing a
lot of their luster, if you will.

Speaker 7 (02:16:42):
They've had good luck when that's American up until last adventure.

Speaker 3 (02:16:46):
Yeah, yeah, exactly so, I think. But I think every
airline has sort of like being the summer has been
rough on airline travel.

Speaker 15 (02:16:55):
Uh this are they blaming Trump yet?

Speaker 3 (02:16:57):
Well they did, they did in the beginning, but it's
really been red like every year after years, more people travel,
and I think it has everything to do with every
airline lowering rates because they need more customers, and in
doing so, there's a degree of quality that you lose,
you do get what you pay, Yeah, you do get
what you paid.

Speaker 15 (02:17:12):
Well, it's not like that.

Speaker 14 (02:17:13):
It's the quality of people now that have access to
these cheap flights. And when you reduce the quality of
personnel that you introduce to an area, then.

Speaker 15 (02:17:27):
Everybody else has to suffer.

Speaker 6 (02:17:28):
I'm going to go down the road. So you just
said this, and now I have to go down the road.

Speaker 15 (02:17:32):
Can talk about the carnival cruise lines?

Speaker 3 (02:17:33):
No, no, no, no no no, I'm going to There
was something that has been irking me for a while,
and I'm doing it now because I can. Maybe by
Monday people will or Tuesday people will forgotten that I've
said it.

Speaker 6 (02:17:45):
They won Okay, they probably won't.

Speaker 3 (02:17:47):
Okay, what is with the hiring of people with neck
tattoos and face tattoos? Like I wouldn't hire that person
to work at my I had one guy Francisco, Remember
it wasn't frances his score of Fernando the last guy
who he was. He was a complete Yeah, he worked
for me for five minutes and he had a little

(02:18:08):
tear drop tattoo on his eye. And when I first
when he first, you know, I say, auditioned for the job.
But he first applied for the job and I interviewed him.
The first thing I did was looking at it, like
I'm looking at him, and I couldn't stop looking at
the tear drop. So I say to him and he
realized that I was staring at him. He goes, Yoo,
no that don't that don't mean what it means, you know,

(02:18:28):
Like yeah, it was like I know what it means.
I'm like, and I'm not a banger, So it's like,
what's that about. He's like, no, no, it's not it's
not about that. I'm like, Okay, I couldn't believe the guy,
but it had a hard time. He's a poser. Yeah,
that would be even more detrimentgious, Yeah, egregious, right, But
I was concerned about hiring well. He turned out to
be exactly what I thought.

Speaker 6 (02:18:46):
He was a dud.

Speaker 3 (02:18:48):
Carl was the first person to call that he was
going to be awful, and he was. He wasn't showing
up to work. It was a whole mess. Ate always late.

Speaker 6 (02:18:55):
Yeah, we were at his.

Speaker 15 (02:18:57):
Door and he was still late. How are you late
when we're picking you up?

Speaker 13 (02:19:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:19:03):
It was pretty bad. But there's like, we've got a
Walmart near Us and the picture of the general manager
at the Walmart guys has the guy with those two
big gauges in his ears, you know, the big giant
holes and a neck tattoo. Now he looks pleasant enough
if that stuff wasn't all over his face. But the
guy looked like a graffiti up building in the Bronx.

(02:19:25):
I mean, he just didn't look the part. And I'm going,
that's the general manager. What guy got turned away? Like
what guy lost the opportunity?

Speaker 15 (02:19:33):
That's DEI for you.

Speaker 6 (02:19:35):
I don't think that's DEI.

Speaker 14 (02:19:37):
Everywhere we go now, everybody's face is all piers, there's
holes everywhere, and hair is you know, fourteen different colors
you got. I can't say that folds, yeah, hanging out
of sports bras and Spandex.

Speaker 6 (02:19:53):
But I'm noticing that in this in the airlines when
I was going.

Speaker 14 (02:19:57):
When I think it's intriguing to have forty two feet
of hair raight it in and you're flopping it around,
you know, hitting customers with your hair.

Speaker 15 (02:20:06):
And God forbid that we had a crash landing.

Speaker 14 (02:20:09):
Your hair is gonna get caught in the slide and
you're gonna hold up traffic because now you're just dangling
by your scalp.

Speaker 3 (02:20:18):
Nonetheless, goodness, My point being that there was just this
standard standard of employment that I just don't understand. That
Walmart thing was the one that really got me because
I'm saying I would never ask that guy for help.

Speaker 14 (02:20:35):
Well, I want you to, I mean, honestly, all jokes aside.
I want you to consider where we live, right, Yeah,
the side of town that we're on.

Speaker 15 (02:20:44):
Why did you have me move this?

Speaker 14 (02:20:47):
This is where I went to high school. I don't
remember it being this way. In my defense, I wasn't
allowed to leave the house either, So there's that, okay.
And I did have a full time job, will I
was in high school, so work school home.

Speaker 15 (02:21:00):
That's all I did. But people.

Speaker 14 (02:21:05):
With a skill set and education, like people that are
well fitted to do these jobs are not coming to
this side of town.

Speaker 15 (02:21:15):
They're just not gonna kind of have to pick.

Speaker 3 (02:21:18):
Our neighborhood is very middle class. Our pocket, yeah, our
pocket neighborhood is very middle class.

Speaker 6 (02:21:25):
But I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 3 (02:21:26):
I mean, when we started going into like, you know,
the neighborhood where we're the only.

Speaker 14 (02:21:31):
Ones speaking English and people look at us like we
have three heads because we don't speak Spanish.

Speaker 6 (02:21:37):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (02:21:38):
It's like every person I met the first year we
were here sounded like they use the word ariba in
every sentence.

Speaker 1 (02:21:44):
It's just that.

Speaker 14 (02:21:48):
We are so people like to say, you know, Texas
is you know cowboys and horses.

Speaker 15 (02:21:53):
No, we are in northern Mexico.

Speaker 20 (02:21:55):
We are, we are.

Speaker 3 (02:21:58):
It's real Mexican.

Speaker 14 (02:21:59):
It's I mean, the houses, the quality. I mean, if
you've ever seen excuse me, you've ever seen houses in.

Speaker 15 (02:22:05):
Tijuana or.

Speaker 14 (02:22:07):
Anywhere in northern Mexico, you will see the same quality
and standard of living here.

Speaker 3 (02:22:13):
Everybody here don't need no stinking badges everybody here.

Speaker 7 (02:22:19):
But the food is amazing.

Speaker 6 (02:22:22):
It's all right, it's not what it used to be.

Speaker 14 (02:22:24):
They've really kind of it's become very bland. I'll do
show up to this side of town for the mission.
So the food is really kind of it's okay caucasianized.

Speaker 7 (02:22:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:22:39):
Well, her father took us to a genuine Spanish restaurant.
I think was when we first met, right, well, no,
second time we had met, but the first time we'd
had dinner together, yes, yes, And he took us at
this place and we had a meal called a dish
called paea. Yeah, bayea, and I'm saying it like an
average person, not like a Spanish person. Okay, so it's paea,

(02:23:00):
but it's not Piea is not Mexican by any stretchity imagination.
Apparently it is South American. It's it's Spanish, Oh, Spanish, Spanish,
whatever it is. Well, I had this food. Have you
ever had piea? By the way, Okay, first of all,
let me tell you what my biggest problem with this
food is.

Speaker 6 (02:23:17):
Okay, it had flavor.

Speaker 7 (02:23:21):
I'm holding on to what I'm gonna I think is
Reese's problem with this food.

Speaker 6 (02:23:26):
Okay, No, oh, you know what, let me you know
what you tell me, and then I'll tell you what
the problem is. What do you think my problem was?

Speaker 7 (02:23:31):
My guess is you're like word, I like, why is
all this in one plate?

Speaker 6 (02:23:34):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (02:23:35):
That was what the heck is going on here?

Speaker 6 (02:23:36):
Yes, exactly. It was like some Spanish gumbo.

Speaker 3 (02:23:39):
And the worst part about it was, and this is
the worst part about it, is no one should sweat
while eating food.

Speaker 6 (02:23:45):
Okay, no one. I shouldn't feel like I'm lifting weights.

Speaker 3 (02:23:49):
Not that it was heavy, but it was just hot
and spicy, and I was sweating in places that you
normally don't do.

Speaker 15 (02:23:55):
So it had flavor.

Speaker 6 (02:23:56):
No, it just was hot.

Speaker 15 (02:23:59):
That is your Spanish.

Speaker 6 (02:24:00):
And I'm looking at my father in law and he's like,
what do you think.

Speaker 15 (02:24:03):
I'm like, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (02:24:04):
Is it supposed to feel like this?

Speaker 13 (02:24:06):
Like?

Speaker 6 (02:24:07):
Am I supposed to feel the food? What does it
feel like this?

Speaker 3 (02:24:11):
And he goes, oh, you're just not used to the flavor.
I'm like, this isn't about flavor. This like every part
of the food. Like I wasn't exerting myself. I was
in there in every spoonful. I took a forkful of food.

Speaker 6 (02:24:23):
I was exuding. It was like sweating. I'm moving my
clothes away from my body.

Speaker 3 (02:24:29):
It felt like I was losing weight, like I was
like I was jazzer sizing or something at this restaurant.

Speaker 15 (02:24:35):
I'm so delicate.

Speaker 7 (02:24:37):
It's got the flavor to go with it. Make it
just hot for stupidity's sake, give me the flavor.

Speaker 15 (02:24:43):
No, it was delicious.

Speaker 14 (02:24:44):
It was really Let me let me put you like
this one one time, like shortly after we started dating.

Speaker 15 (02:24:50):
I made Reese right, just chicken and rice, nothing, nothing,
you know, obnoxious. I seasoned it the way you season ro.

Speaker 14 (02:25:06):
Nothing spicy. It was comino, oregano, garlic, salt, pepper, a
bay leaf.

Speaker 15 (02:25:13):
That's it.

Speaker 14 (02:25:16):
You get your first bite and like it's so spicy,
Like there's not there was nothing spicy in it, spice
in it. No, it has flavor, there's.

Speaker 7 (02:25:30):
Nothing like does his tolerance end at like paprika.

Speaker 15 (02:25:35):
Yeah, his tolerance ends at salt.

Speaker 6 (02:25:37):
That's salt.

Speaker 7 (02:25:39):
Sugar.

Speaker 15 (02:25:40):
Butter is a huge thing in our house. Like buttery.

Speaker 6 (02:25:43):
Yeah, I don't like. First of all, you don't like
a lot of butter.

Speaker 3 (02:25:46):
Salt is okay, but anything that is considered a spice,
like outside of pepper, is probably taboo.

Speaker 15 (02:25:56):
That's your nick that is your Spanish name.

Speaker 2 (02:25:59):
You know.

Speaker 6 (02:25:59):
That's okay. It's okay.

Speaker 7 (02:26:01):
Well, you can invite me over for dinner, Rosanna.

Speaker 14 (02:26:03):
When you guys are here, Absolutely, and Reese you can
go have some pizza, real American.

Speaker 3 (02:26:09):
But you can go.
