When we got it, okay, it was fine.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
It's also National Peppermint Latte Day, National roof over your
Head Day.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Be thankful for that.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Every day I try to, like actively be thankful for
our homes. It's Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting Day. It's
also Special Kids Day. All kids are special. On this
day in the History of nineteen sixty seven, South African
surgeon Dark doctor Christian Bernard performs the world's first human
(02:28):
to human heart transplant on Louis Rashanski at Groot Sure
Hospital in Cape Town. He survives eighteen days. Well, you
got to start somewhere. Nineteen eighty nine, Soviet President Michael
Gorbichoff and US President George H. W.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Bush declared the Cold War over and on this day.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
In nineteen sixty eight, Elvis Presley's Comeback Special airs on NBC,
his first live performance in seven years.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Free launching his career.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You haven't many reasons why today is worth celebrating. Time
now for our official dad joke of the day. If
you are not a dad, do not try this at home.
We are professionals. What do you call a corn cob
with just one klonel?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Wait?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
What a unicorn? Ladies and gentlemen, we need to talk.
You know, I've discovered something recently, something scientific, something groundbreaking,
something that absolutely defies all laws of physics. Seventy degrees
is a mysterious temperature in my house. Seventy degrees is
(03:40):
apparently not a temperature. It's a seasonal mood. Because in
the summer, if the thermostat reads seventy, my wife will
walk through the house, fanning herself like she's in a
Victorian drama, saying.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Whoo, it's warm in here, aren't you hot?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Now I'm standing there thinking warm, it's seventy sat Literally
can't get any more neutral than this.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
This is the Switzerland of temperatures here.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
But then winter rolls around and suddenly seventy degrees becomes
the Arctic tundra. Just last night, my wife was practically
inside the fireplace. I mean she was sitting by She
was inches away from asking the logs for their Wi
Fi password. That's how close she was getting to this fire,
bundled up like she's about to go climb down, everest saying, no,
(04:28):
I'm cold.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I look at the thermostat.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Because I believe in facts, numbers and follow the science.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
There it is glowing back at me, mocking me.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Seventy degrees, she swears, swears that seventy degrees in the
summer is different than seventy degrees in the winter, as
if the thermostat flips over to December and goes, oh right,
seventy but cold now. Meanwhile, I'm standing there with my
annoying male logic. Honey, seventy is seventy, that's literally the
(05:00):
whole point of numbers. But Nope, according to her, seasonal
seventies are a thing. We've got summer seventy too hot,
in winter seventy, I'm freezing. Bring me blankets, cocoa, and
possibly a small space heater powered by the sun. And
at this point I'm convinced that thermostats don't control temperture
in your house. My wife's internal calendar does. So I've
(05:21):
just accepted it. I don't fight it because apparently in
my marriage, seventy degrees can be anything except comfortable. Winter
wicked in the morning, and it's study hall time.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Come on in today we talked finances. Now.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yesterday we had on the show a story about how
more and more people are starting to doubt the worth
of a college degree and if it's worth going in
debt that much.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Well, check this out.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
What's the costliest college in America?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
No, not Harvard, No not Princeton.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
America's costliest college in twenty twenty five is Faster at
just over seventy three thousand dollars a year, not total
a year. Think about that. That's ridiculously hot. Why is
that education worth more than another school. It's because people
(06:25):
are willing to pay for it. It's capitalism and that's
the way it works.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Today's lesson in finance class dismissed. Somehow, we've managed to
make it almost through hour one, but don't you pret
we still have two full hours to go. Cut up
an hour number two. We're going to hit our news
or nonsense, including the story about a man, a power poll,
(06:54):
and a dangerous event.
Speaker 2 (06:57):

Speaker 1 (06:57):
It's not what you think all that much more coming

Show as your promo coats fifteen percent. Right now, it's
time to get hour two rolling because it's my favorite
part of the day. It's the time when I get
to play whatever song I want to. That's right, it's
time for today's trap track News or nonsense, mister Sunshine
(10:19):
here with this story headline reads market experts says housing
crash worse than two thousand and eight is inevitable.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Here's why.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
That's that's fun news already, right. According to Melody Right,
she says that all the signs are reporting to a
housing market crash that could rival the great recession of
two thousand and eight. She said, I see it happening
over several years, with the potential to deteriorate faster than
the last cycle.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
That's what she told Newsweek.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
For instance, prices did not bottom until twenty twelve during
the last cycle. I believe we could get started in
earnest next year on the price decline and see you
rather large drop historically speaking, but still think it could
take several years to bottom. Now you shouldn't trust the
word of one long expert, but the downturn has already begun.
(11:14):
In November a Zillo report showed that the average home
value in the US is already down that nine to
nine point seven percent from the peak, but home values
are still a whopping sixty seven percent higher than they
were a pre pandemic. Zilo tried to keep investors can
by calling the trend a correction, not a crash. A
market correction just needs a drop between ten twenty percent,
(11:36):
whereas a crash has to drop over thirty percent. Now, look,
I'm not a housing expert, but I do think this
is different than two thousand and eight because I do
think it's more of a correction because home prices, let's
just be real that they had gotten ridiculous and still are.
(12:03):
But it's not that all of a sudden people are
no longer buying homes and this this is home value
and resale value. New homes are still selling and you
know they will sell. It's just a market corrects itself.
And well happened in two thousand and eight. The market
was just flooded. We had so many spec houses being built,
(12:27):
especially around the home base here for the Trap Show.
You had contractors just building houses like a factory, and
then people we had too many homes and not enough buyers. Basically,
right now, it's buyers. There seems to be plenty of them.
They just they're saying, hey, I'm not willing to pay
(12:47):
that come off the price. So I wasn't paying it
just yet, y'all. But there does seem to be a
little correction in the market.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
With a not news I'm not trapped uncle. Mother Sheila
Dunn was reportedly treated to a spontaneous deep tissue back
massage when her five year old kid began kicking her
back in the middle of the night. I wanted to
make my mom feel extra special, young Kayla Dunn later confirmed,
so I started karate choffing her shoulders and jamming my
(13:20):
feet into her spine like any good daughter. According to
the child's father, Harvard Dunn, was a touching display of
his daughter's love for her mother. I got out of
there right away and gave them some space, he said.
I didn't want to interrupt. Neighbors are reportedly jealous and
wish their own kids would perform deep tissue back massages
(13:41):
in the middle of the night. Sheila was complaining about
the losing of sleep, but I think she's just ungrateful.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I could use a good massage, said one friend.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
At publishing time, controversy broke out in the Dune household
when it was revealed Kayla Dunn had simply had a
nightmare and wasn't concerned about her mother's comfort at all.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
With the not news this has been not trass. News
are nonsense.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You know, none of us, well most of us don't
really think about the electricity until it doesn't work, and
then we think, hey, where are those people who work
on my electricity? And we take them for granted, and
we really don't know the things they face every day.
I mean, they're dealing with deadly electrical currents and voltage
(14:36):
and wattage and all that good stuff, but sometimes they
deal with the other dangers.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Case in point, an Arizona lineman.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Quite literally had to poke the bear when he found
one on top of a utility pole last month.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
That's right, he's in the bucket truck.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
He's up there, and a bear is on top of
the transformer now. According to ACU weather, because why would
they not have the story about a bear on a
telephone pole instead of the humidity level, An arizonalignment successfully
coaxed a bear off a utility pole after it climbed
to the top and was in danger of being electrocuted.
(15:15):
The bear eventually got down up from the pole and
ran away unharmed. Excuse me, looking at the photo here
and watching the video, two things strike me. Those transformers
are way bigger than you think when you're on the
ground looking at them. This one's I mean, it's just
a basic one that's got a bear sitting on it.
(15:36):
Second thing, how in the world did he make it
up there without getting fried?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I don't know, but imagine.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
You get the call, your crew gets called, hey we've
got a power outage over on Peachtree Street.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Okay, we're going to take a look at it.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
And you get there and there's a bear, which I
think they probably he got the report that hey there's
a bear on the utility pole, and they probably had
to cut the power to then go poke the bear.
Now I'm glad bear's doing fine. The guy who had
to deal with him, he's fine.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
But I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Wish the bear would have made a move towards the
bucket truck, you know, towards the guy in the in
the boom there. But nope, he just kind of skid
addles away.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I wonder what he was doing up there. Look how hi,
I can climb? I need help, So anyway, good news.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
It's just I thought it was an interesting story and
most of us during the day probably won't deal with
the bear. But it just goes to show chances never zero. Ah,
you know what that music means. Time to dig into.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Your wallet and get that shopping cart.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Ready, it's time for today's Facebook Find of the Day.
Today we head back to Knoxville. Listen, Knoxville. I don't
know what's going on there, but your Facebook marketplace items,
well they intrigued me. This one comes to us from
Jenny Bitzer. Now Jenny, she joined Facebook in twenty twenty one,
(17:21):
highly rated on marketplace five stars and another badge.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I don't know what that means. Maybe you do.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Now she lists this item as new. That's all right,
brand new. Ladies and gentlemen. Do you have someone in
your life who's wanting a pet for Christmas? Well I
have the answer for you here. And not just any pet,
not just cat, dog, campster, nothing like that. What if
(17:51):
I told you I could give you, well I can't
give you Jenny can apossum pet for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Now, before you freak out, let me.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Finish it is Percy the possum pet rock. That's right,
it's a rock painted to look like a possum. Now,
I will say this very good paint job, Jenny says,
great present for the possum lover. You know, I can
meet you at the Walmart on Chapman Highway, so if
(18:24):
you're in the Knoxville area, she can meet you there.
That's right, it's a rock painted to look like a possum. Now,
before you say, who wants a rock, I'm old enough
to remember a time where pet.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Rocks were all the rage.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
People would actually go to a store and buy a rock,
pass by millions on the way there and buy a
rock for a pet. This one, at least has a
great paint job that looks like a possum, and it
can be yours for the lo low price of forty dollars. Now,
I know what you're saying, man, paint's cheaper than that,
but the ability to paint it like Percy here, Percy
(19:00):
is today's Facebook fine. As we finish up hour number two,
let's look ahead to hour number three coming up after
the top of the hour, more news or nonsense, including
what not to do in front of your house that
might get the attention of the cops. Plus, we got

(22:31):
wrapping things up as we get the third hour going,
Thanks so much for tuning in to the Trash Show
here on a Wednesday, News or nonsense. Let's talk a
little AI, shall we know? There have been way too
many sad stories about various AI chatbots convincing people to
(22:52):
kill themselves. But now for the first time, we get
to see how AI companies are going to defend themselves legally. Now,
just a few months ago we talked about it here
on the show. The sad death of sixteen year old
Adam Rain and his parents now have a lawsuit of
(23:14):
with open Ai. Open Ai has filed an official response
to the lawsuit, and here's their defense quote. The terms
and use provides that chat GPT users must comply with
open AI's usage policies, which prohibit the use of chat
gpt for suicide or self harm. Take a second process
(23:39):
process that because yeah, here's according to oben Ai, it's
not their fault. Chat GPT convinced the sixteen year old
kid to kill himself because killing yourself is against their
terms of use.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
And then they went a step further here.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Under the to users under eighteen years of age are
forbidden from using chat GPT without the consent of a
parent or guardian. So this second layer of defense essentially
blames the kid's parents for their son using the chat
which convinced him to kill himself. But without the company
(24:20):
using age verification, it would be hard to prove.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
The parents were liable.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
But now that didn't stop open AI's lawyers from digging
into that defense. Here's what they said. They quoted the
logs of Rain's chap. They said Adam Rain told chat
GPT that he repeatedly reached out to people, including trusted
persons in his life with Christ for help, which he said,
we're ignored. So the most solid defense chat GPT's lawyers
(24:50):
offered regards Rain's medication. They said, in the week some
months before his death, Adam Raine told chat GBT that
he was taking increasing doses of medication, which he stated
worshiped his depression and made him suicidal. If that is
truly the case and not some AI hallucination, the family's
(25:10):
going to have an uphill battle convincing to Judge and
Jerry that chat GPT is entirely to blame here. But
it just goes to show that lawyers will stoop to
any level to win a case. I got a little
old school political chaos for you. Old school because the
(25:30):
old show, we have political chaos every day, this show.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Every now and then we're going to start having it.
And so this just happened.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I don't know if you're aware that we're blowing boats
out of the water out in the middle of the ocean,
saying that they are drug traffickers from Venezuela. Maybe you are,
maybe you aren't, or you weren't now you know. And
when I say we, I mean the United States, not
anyone here.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
That's the station. All right, let me make that clear.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
So President Trump says, listen, we got to do something
about the drugs coming into this country. And he's declared
these people as narco terrorist and so he's eliminating drug
terrorism basically.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
But this happened yesterday.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Trump pardoned Latin American president found guilty of flooding the
US with cocaine. One Orlando Hernandez was the US back
right wing dictator of Honduras. He was convicted by a
US court of trafficking more than four hundred tons of
cocaine and machine guns. He personally collaborated with El Chopo.
(26:47):
Now he served a single year of his forty five
year sentence. People are confused because again, currently we're sitting
up our military in the Caribbean and shooting down boats
to fight drug trafficking, saying that we're boots on the
grounds next.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
But then we release this huge drug dealer.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
U. Now, Trump says that Hernandez was set up by Biden.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Uh what.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Something don't make sense here, man, I don't care what
side of the aisle you land on.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
This looks bad.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Hernando's wife celebrated his freedom by indicating the same idea
that he was falsely charged. Well, of course, he says
that who's going to say, hey, look they got me.
I was I was guilty, But thank you Trump for
for pardoning me and letting me go. Nobody's gonna say
that they're gonna, I was innocent. I told you I
was innocent. I was innocent. If if you're on the left,
(27:51):
this gives you political ammo at Trump saying hey, what
are you you anti drug or you pro drug? And
if you're pro Trump, this got to make you scratch
your head and say, wait a minute, one thing is
not like the other here, so they haven't a look
at political chaos. Crazy. It's time for the crazy news
(28:33):
story of the day.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Today.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I think I'll give you an update on weaimo. Let
you know how they're doing. Latest update is out of
Los Angeles from Sunday night. Now, if you're unfamiliar, Weimo
is a self driving taxi service. Think of it as
an uber without a driver. Well what happens, Well, this
weimo drives a passenger right into the line of fire
(28:58):
during an LAPD stand off.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yep, driverless cars are the future.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
They said, yeah, And this one takes them right through
an active crime scene and the cops have as this
truck pulled over, dudes out, shots are being fired and
here goes this driverless car. Now, according to Weimo, the
passenger was dropped off at their destination shortly after this
(29:27):
video was shot.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Listen, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
What the big deal is. They made it to their destination.
Y'all are acting like we took them to the wrong place. No,
the car got them to their destination. What's the problem here? Uh?
Fortunately those shots were fired in that standoff, at least
while the Weymo was nearby. Y'all, this isn't the first
(29:53):
time that Waimo has made news in Los Angeles. Uh
back Quinn, was it? Back in the summer early summer
like June, Waimo cars were being set on fire by
riders or excuse me, by protesters protesting deportations because a
(30:16):
driverless car.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Had something to do with it.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
And then you had the Waimo driverless taxi that caused
the backup at Santa Monica Chick fil A after it
got stuck in a drive through. You had one in
California where robbery suspect used to a Waymo vehicles to
get away car. So, yeah, Waimo in Cali especially doing well.
(30:44):
Imagine you're in the seat, Wait a minute, Wait a minute,
they're shooting here. This is a crime scene. And again
their response, Hey, we got you to the destination. Quit
gripping news or nonsense.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
If you're going to hide myth from the police, there's
some tried and true ways not to do it. For example,
don't hide it in a bag labeled definitely not a
bag full of drugs.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
That never works. We've talked about that.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Another bad example of a place to hide myth from
the police is a giant refrigerated truck full of blackberries
parked outside your house in Atlanta?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
What yep?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
In Atlanta, four hundred and nineteen kilos were found at
a home on Custer Avenue Southeast in a shipment of
blackberries inside a refrigerated truck parked outside the HOMEB Atlanta
official said, Hi, y'all, that's nearly sixteen thousand pounds of myth.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Honestly, who has a.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Giant refrigerated truck of blackberries outside their house? That could
be a warning flag. It's bound to draw attention, especially
from sniff and dog named Loki. Loki helped authorities just
north of Atlanta in Hall County, as they found an
(32:12):
additional three hundred kilos of myth and another refrigerated box truck,
so apparently they had a little operation going here now.
The blackberries are believed to have been brought in from
Mexico and one Hernandez, aged forty, and Nelson in Sarto,
age thirty six are in very big trouble.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
See what it did? They very big trouble.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
They're charged, of course, with trafficking myth and fedtamines. Now
I gotta wonder when the cops lifted the old truck
gate and there was the myth and berries, if they said,
I don't know where that came from. That's not mine.
The berries are mind, but I don't know where the
myth came from. This is not my truck. I don't
(32:58):
even live here.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Like, what do you say?
Speaker 1 (33:00):
You never see them, like if you're watching Cops or
forty eight Hours or anything like that. You never see
them say, hey, come on out, they got us. It's
always I didn't do it. I don't know where this
came from. I've been set up. We shall see what
happens here. But congratulations to Atlanta authorities and Hall County
(33:20):
Canine Dog for getting these off the streets. It just
goes to show man. When you're on the road and
you pass that ice cream truck, there's no telling what's
really in that thing. Be careful out there. Y'all, and
don't be trafficking meth please.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
How about a little good news.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Imagine zapping your tongue with a tiny electrical current to
reclaim your life after a devastating stroke. Sounded like sci fi,
but it is real and it's revolutionizing rehab. Breakthrough device
called up p n S. We're gonna go with PAWNS,
I guess is helving strokes like Mark Foster walk, talk
(34:02):
and dream big again. Four years ago, Foster suffered a
massive stroke after a fall exposed a hidden brain cavenoma
cavernoma anyhead we all know. Brain Surgery saved him but
left him with severe mobility and speech loss. Traditional therapy, well,
it's grueling with minimal gains. Then entered the portable neuro
(34:23):
Modulation Stimulator or PAWNS from helious medical technologies, worn like
a collar that sends a gentle electric pulse through a
mouthpiece to the tongue, jump starting brain pathways for balance, movement.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
And swallowing.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Foster says, in six months with PAWNS plus therapy, I
progress more than in four years before I can speak clearly,
walk steadier. It's life changing, y'all. This is fantastic If
you face stroke challenges. Talk to your doctor about this.
Pawns Hope is here. Apparently, one zap at a time.
(35:01):
We need good news stories like this. This is why
we have at least one a day. This is fantastic.

Be thankful for that.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Every day I try to, like actively be thankful for
our homes. It's Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting Day. It's
also Special Kids Day. All kids are special. On this
day in the History of nineteen sixty seven, South African
surgeon Dark doctor Christian Bernard performs the world's first human
(02:28):
to human heart transplant on Louis Rashanski at Groot Sure
Hospital in Cape Town. He survives eighteen days. Well, you
got to start somewhere. Nineteen eighty nine, Soviet President Michael
Gorbichoff and US President George H. W.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Bush declared the Cold War over and on this day.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
In nineteen sixty eight, Elvis Presley's Comeback Special airs on NBC,
his first live performance in seven years.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Free launching his career.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You haven't many reasons why today is worth celebrating. Time
now for our official dad joke of the day. If
you are not a dad, do not try this at home.
We are professionals. What do you call a corn cob
with just one klonel?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Wait?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
What a unicorn? Ladies and gentlemen, we need to talk.
You know, I've discovered something recently, something scientific, something groundbreaking,
something that absolutely defies all laws of physics. Seventy degrees
is a mysterious temperature in my house. Seventy degrees is
(03:40):
apparently not a temperature. It's a seasonal mood. Because in
the summer, if the thermostat reads seventy, my wife will
walk through the house, fanning herself like she's in a
Victorian drama, saying.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Whoo, it's warm in here, aren't you hot?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Now I'm standing there thinking warm, it's seventy sat Literally
can't get any more neutral than this.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
This is the Switzerland of temperatures here.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
But then winter rolls around and suddenly seventy degrees becomes
the Arctic tundra. Just last night, my wife was practically
inside the fireplace. I mean she was sitting by She
was inches away from asking the logs for their Wi
Fi password. That's how close she was getting to this fire,
bundled up like she's about to go climb down, everest saying, no,
(04:28):
I'm cold.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I look at the thermostat.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Because I believe in facts, numbers and follow the science.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
There it is glowing back at me, mocking me.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Seventy degrees, she swears, swears that seventy degrees in the
summer is different than seventy degrees in the winter, as
if the thermostat flips over to December and goes, oh right,
seventy but cold now. Meanwhile, I'm standing there with my
annoying male logic. Honey, seventy is seventy, that's literally the
(05:00):
whole point of numbers. But Nope, according to her, seasonal
seventies are a thing. We've got summer seventy too hot,
in winter seventy, I'm freezing. Bring me blankets, cocoa, and
possibly a small space heater powered by the sun. And
at this point I'm convinced that thermostats don't control temperture
in your house. My wife's internal calendar does. So I've
(05:21):
just accepted it. I don't fight it because apparently in
my marriage, seventy degrees can be anything except comfortable. Winter
wicked in the morning, and it's study hall time.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Come on in today we talked finances. Now.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yesterday we had on the show a story about how
more and more people are starting to doubt the worth
of a college degree and if it's worth going in
debt that much.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Well, check this out.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
What's the costliest college in America?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
No, not Harvard, No not Princeton.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
America's costliest college in twenty twenty five is Faster at
just over seventy three thousand dollars a year, not total
a year. Think about that. That's ridiculously hot. Why is
that education worth more than another school. It's because people
(06:25):
are willing to pay for it. It's capitalism and that's
the way it works.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Today's lesson in finance class dismissed. Somehow, we've managed to
make it almost through hour one, but don't you pret
we still have two full hours to go. Cut up
an hour number two. We're going to hit our news
or nonsense, including the story about a man, a power poll,

time to get hour two rolling because it's my favorite
part of the day. It's the time when I get
to play whatever song I want to. That's right, it's
time for today's trap track News or nonsense, mister Sunshine
(10:19):
here with this story headline reads market experts says housing
crash worse than two thousand and eight is inevitable.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Here's why.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
That's that's fun news already, right. According to Melody Right,
she says that all the signs are reporting to a
housing market crash that could rival the great recession of
two thousand and eight. She said, I see it happening
over several years, with the potential to deteriorate faster than
the last cycle.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
That's what she told Newsweek.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
For instance, prices did not bottom until twenty twelve during
the last cycle. I believe we could get started in
earnest next year on the price decline and see you
rather large drop historically speaking, but still think it could
take several years to bottom. Now you shouldn't trust the
word of one long expert, but the downturn has already begun.
(11:14):
In November a Zillo report showed that the average home
value in the US is already down that nine to
nine point seven percent from the peak, but home values
are still a whopping sixty seven percent higher than they
were a pre pandemic. Zilo tried to keep investors can
by calling the trend a correction, not a crash. A
market correction just needs a drop between ten twenty percent,
(11:36):
whereas a crash has to drop over thirty percent. Now, look,
I'm not a housing expert, but I do think this
is different than two thousand and eight because I do
think it's more of a correction because home prices, let's
just be real that they had gotten ridiculous and still are.
(12:03):
But it's not that all of a sudden people are
no longer buying homes and this this is home value
and resale value. New homes are still selling and you
know they will sell. It's just a market corrects itself.
And well happened in two thousand and eight. The market
was just flooded. We had so many spec houses being built,
(12:27):
especially around the home base here for the Trap Show.
You had contractors just building houses like a factory, and
then people we had too many homes and not enough buyers. Basically,
right now, it's buyers. There seems to be plenty of them.
They just they're saying, hey, I'm not willing to pay
(12:47):
that come off the price. So I wasn't paying it
just yet, y'all. But there does seem to be a
little correction in the market.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
With a not news I'm not trapped uncle. Mother Sheila
Dunn was reportedly treated to a spontaneous deep tissue back
massage when her five year old kid began kicking her
back in the middle of the night. I wanted to
make my mom feel extra special, young Kayla Dunn later confirmed,
so I started karate choffing her shoulders and jamming my
(13:20):
feet into her spine like any good daughter. According to
the child's father, Harvard Dunn, was a touching display of
his daughter's love for her mother. I got out of
there right away and gave them some space, he said.
I didn't want to interrupt. Neighbors are reportedly jealous and
wish their own kids would perform deep tissue back massages
(13:41):
in the middle of the night. Sheila was complaining about
the losing of sleep, but I think she's just ungrateful.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I could use a good massage, said one friend.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
At publishing time, controversy broke out in the Dune household
when it was revealed Kayla Dunn had simply had a
nightmare and wasn't concerned about her mother's comfort at all.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
With the not news this has been not trass. News
are nonsense.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You know, none of us, well most of us don't
really think about the electricity until it doesn't work, and
then we think, hey, where are those people who work
on my electricity? And we take them for granted, and
we really don't know the things they face every day.
I mean, they're dealing with deadly electrical currents and voltage
(14:36):
and wattage and all that good stuff, but sometimes they
deal with the other dangers.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Case in point, an Arizona lineman.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Quite literally had to poke the bear when he found
one on top of a utility pole last month.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
That's right, he's in the bucket truck.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
He's up there, and a bear is on top of
the transformer now. According to ACU weather, because why would
they not have the story about a bear on a
telephone pole instead of the humidity level, An arizonalignment successfully
coaxed a bear off a utility pole after it climbed
to the top and was in danger of being electrocuted.
(15:15):
The bear eventually got down up from the pole and
ran away unharmed. Excuse me, looking at the photo here
and watching the video, two things strike me. Those transformers
are way bigger than you think when you're on the
ground looking at them. This one's I mean, it's just
a basic one that's got a bear sitting on it.
(15:36):
Second thing, how in the world did he make it
up there without getting fried?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I don't know, but imagine.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
You get the call, your crew gets called, hey we've
got a power outage over on Peachtree Street.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Okay, we're going to take a look at it.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
And you get there and there's a bear, which I
think they probably he got the report that hey there's
a bear on the utility pole, and they probably had
to cut the power to then go poke the bear.
Now I'm glad bear's doing fine. The guy who had
to deal with him, he's fine.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
But I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Wish the bear would have made a move towards the
bucket truck, you know, towards the guy in the in
the boom there. But nope, he just kind of skid
addles away.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I wonder what he was doing up there. Look how hi,
I can climb? I need help, So anyway, good news.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
It's just I thought it was an interesting story and
most of us during the day probably won't deal with
the bear. But it just goes to show chances never zero. Ah,
you know what that music means. Time to dig into.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Your wallet and get that shopping cart.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Ready, it's time for today's Facebook Find of the Day.
Today we head back to Knoxville. Listen, Knoxville. I don't
know what's going on there, but your Facebook marketplace items,
well they intrigued me. This one comes to us from
Jenny Bitzer. Now Jenny, she joined Facebook in twenty twenty one,
(17:21):
highly rated on marketplace five stars and another badge.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I don't know what that means. Maybe you do.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Now she lists this item as new. That's all right,
brand new. Ladies and gentlemen. Do you have someone in
your life who's wanting a pet for Christmas? Well I
have the answer for you here. And not just any pet,
not just cat, dog, campster, nothing like that. What if
(17:51):
I told you I could give you, well I can't
give you Jenny can apossum pet for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Now, before you freak out, let me.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Finish it is Percy the possum pet rock. That's right,
it's a rock painted to look like a possum. Now,
I will say this very good paint job, Jenny says,
great present for the possum lover. You know, I can
meet you at the Walmart on Chapman Highway, so if
(18:24):
you're in the Knoxville area, she can meet you there.
That's right, it's a rock painted to look like a possum. Now,
before you say, who wants a rock, I'm old enough
to remember a time where pet.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Rocks were all the rage.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
People would actually go to a store and buy a rock,
pass by millions on the way there and buy a
rock for a pet. This one, at least has a
great paint job that looks like a possum, and it
can be yours for the lo low price of forty dollars. Now,
I know what you're saying, man, paint's cheaper than that,
but the ability to paint it like Percy here, Percy
(19:00):
is today's Facebook fine. As we finish up hour number two,
let's look ahead to hour number three coming up after
the top of the hour, more news or nonsense, including

old Glory dot Com and promo code Trash Show. Well,
(22:31):
wrapping things up as we get the third hour going,
Thanks so much for tuning in to the Trash Show
here on a Wednesday, News or nonsense. Let's talk a
little AI, shall we know? There have been way too
many sad stories about various AI chatbots convincing people to
(22:52):
kill themselves. But now for the first time, we get
to see how AI companies are going to defend themselves legally. Now,
just a few months ago we talked about it here
on the show. The sad death of sixteen year old
Adam Rain and his parents now have a lawsuit of
(23:14):
with open Ai. Open Ai has filed an official response
to the lawsuit, and here's their defense quote. The terms
and use provides that chat GPT users must comply with
open AI's usage policies, which prohibit the use of chat
gpt for suicide or self harm. Take a second process
(23:39):
process that because yeah, here's according to oben Ai, it's
not their fault. Chat GPT convinced the sixteen year old
kid to kill himself because killing yourself is against their
terms of use.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
And then they went a step further here.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Under the to users under eighteen years of age are
forbidden from using chat GPT without the consent of a
parent or guardian. So this second layer of defense essentially
blames the kid's parents for their son using the chat
which convinced him to kill himself. But without the company
(24:20):
using age verification, it would be hard to prove.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
The parents were liable.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
But now that didn't stop open AI's lawyers from digging
into that defense. Here's what they said. They quoted the
logs of Rain's chap. They said Adam Rain told chat
GPT that he repeatedly reached out to people, including trusted
persons in his life with Christ for help, which he said,
we're ignored. So the most solid defense chat GPT's lawyers
(24:50):
offered regards Rain's medication. They said, in the week some
months before his death, Adam Raine told chat GBT that
he was taking increasing doses of medication, which he stated
worshiped his depression and made him suicidal. If that is
truly the case and not some AI hallucination, the family's
(25:10):
going to have an uphill battle convincing to Judge and
Jerry that chat GPT is entirely to blame here. But
it just goes to show that lawyers will stoop to
any level to win a case. I got a little
old school political chaos for you. Old school because the
(25:30):
old show, we have political chaos every day, this show.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Every now and then we're going to start having it.
And so this just happened.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I don't know if you're aware that we're blowing boats
out of the water out in the middle of the ocean,
saying that they are drug traffickers from Venezuela. Maybe you are,
maybe you aren't, or you weren't now you know. And
when I say we, I mean the United States, not
anyone here.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
That's the station. All right, let me make that clear.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
So President Trump says, listen, we got to do something
about the drugs coming into this country. And he's declared
these people as narco terrorist and so he's eliminating drug
terrorism basically.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
But this happened yesterday.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Trump pardoned Latin American president found guilty of flooding the
US with cocaine. One Orlando Hernandez was the US back
right wing dictator of Honduras. He was convicted by a
US court of trafficking more than four hundred tons of
cocaine and machine guns. He personally collaborated with El Chopo.
(26:47):
Now he served a single year of his forty five
year sentence. People are confused because again, currently we're sitting
up our military in the Caribbean and shooting down boats
to fight drug trafficking, saying that we're boots on the
grounds next.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
But then we release this huge drug dealer.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
U. Now, Trump says that Hernandez was set up by Biden.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Uh what.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Something don't make sense here, man, I don't care what
side of the aisle you land on.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
This looks bad.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Hernando's wife celebrated his freedom by indicating the same idea
that he was falsely charged. Well, of course, he says
that who's going to say, hey, look they got me.
I was I was guilty, But thank you Trump for
for pardoning me and letting me go. Nobody's gonna say
that they're gonna, I was innocent. I told you I
was innocent. I was innocent. If if you're on the left,
(27:51):
this gives you political ammo at Trump saying hey, what
are you you anti drug or you pro drug? And
if you're pro Trump, this got to make you scratch
your head and say, wait a minute, one thing is
not like the other here, so they haven't a look
at political chaos. Crazy. It's time for the crazy news
(28:33):
story of the day.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Today.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I think I'll give you an update on weaimo. Let
you know how they're doing. Latest update is out of
Los Angeles from Sunday night. Now, if you're unfamiliar, Weimo
is a self driving taxi service. Think of it as
an uber without a driver. Well what happens, Well, this
weimo drives a passenger right into the line of fire
(28:58):
during an LAPD stand off.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yep, driverless cars are the future.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
They said, yeah, And this one takes them right through
an active crime scene and the cops have as this
truck pulled over, dudes out, shots are being fired and
here goes this driverless car. Now, according to Weimo, the
passenger was dropped off at their destination shortly after this
(29:27):
video was shot.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Listen, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
What the big deal is. They made it to their destination.
Y'all are acting like we took them to the wrong place. No,
the car got them to their destination. What's the problem here? Uh?
Fortunately those shots were fired in that standoff, at least
while the Weymo was nearby. Y'all, this isn't the first
(29:53):
time that Waimo has made news in Los Angeles. Uh
back Quinn, was it? Back in the summer early summer
like June, Waimo cars were being set on fire by
riders or excuse me, by protesters protesting deportations because a
(30:16):
driverless car.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Had something to do with it.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
And then you had the Waimo driverless taxi that caused
the backup at Santa Monica Chick fil A after it
got stuck in a drive through. You had one in
California where robbery suspect used to a Waymo vehicles to
get away car. So, yeah, Waimo in Cali especially doing well.
(30:44):
Imagine you're in the seat, Wait a minute, Wait a minute,
they're shooting here. This is a crime scene. And again
their response, Hey, we got you to the destination. Quit
gripping news or nonsense.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
If you're going to hide myth from the police, there's
some tried and true ways not to do it. For example,
don't hide it in a bag labeled definitely not a
bag full of drugs.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
That never works. We've talked about that.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Another bad example of a place to hide myth from
the police is a giant refrigerated truck full of blackberries
parked outside your house in Atlanta?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
What yep?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
In Atlanta, four hundred and nineteen kilos were found at
a home on Custer Avenue Southeast in a shipment of
blackberries inside a refrigerated truck parked outside the HOMEB Atlanta
official said, Hi, y'all, that's nearly sixteen thousand pounds of myth.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Honestly, who has a.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Giant refrigerated truck of blackberries outside their house? That could
be a warning flag. It's bound to draw attention, especially
from sniff and dog named Loki. Loki helped authorities just
north of Atlanta in Hall County, as they found an
(32:12):
additional three hundred kilos of myth and another refrigerated box truck,
so apparently they had a little operation going here now.
The blackberries are believed to have been brought in from
Mexico and one Hernandez, aged forty, and Nelson in Sarto,
age thirty six are in very big trouble.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
See what it did? They very big trouble.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
They're charged, of course, with trafficking myth and fedtamines. Now
I gotta wonder when the cops lifted the old truck
gate and there was the myth and berries, if they said,
I don't know where that came from. That's not mine.
The berries are mind, but I don't know where the
myth came from. This is not my truck. I don't
(32:58):
even live here.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Like, what do you say?
Speaker 1 (33:00):
You never see them, like if you're watching Cops or
forty eight Hours or anything like that. You never see
them say, hey, come on out, they got us. It's
always I didn't do it. I don't know where this
came from. I've been set up. We shall see what
happens here. But congratulations to Atlanta authorities and Hall County
(33:20):
Canine Dog for getting these off the streets. It just
goes to show man. When you're on the road and
you pass that ice cream truck, there's no telling what's
really in that thing. Be careful out there. Y'all, and
don't be trafficking meth please.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
How about a little good news.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Imagine zapping your tongue with a tiny electrical current to
reclaim your life after a devastating stroke. Sounded like sci fi,
but it is real and it's revolutionizing rehab. Breakthrough device
called up p n S. We're gonna go with PAWNS,
I guess is helving strokes like Mark Foster walk, talk
(34:02):
and dream big again. Four years ago, Foster suffered a
massive stroke after a fall exposed a hidden brain cavenoma
cavernoma anyhead we all know. Brain Surgery saved him but
left him with severe mobility and speech loss. Traditional therapy, well,
it's grueling with minimal gains. Then entered the portable neuro
(34:23):
Modulation Stimulator or PAWNS from helious medical technologies, worn like
a collar that sends a gentle electric pulse through a
mouthpiece to the tongue, jump starting brain pathways for balance, movement.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
And swallowing.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Foster says, in six months with PAWNS plus therapy, I
progress more than in four years before I can speak clearly,
walk steadier. It's life changing, y'all. This is fantastic If
you face stroke challenges. Talk to your doctor about this.
Pawns Hope is here. Apparently, one zap at a time.
(35:01):
We need good news stories like this. This is why
we have at least one a day. This is fantastic.
Well that's gonna all, but do it for the old
