Friday! Plenty of stuff the news is throwing at us today, what's it mean for us?
Kamala's back with a new book and went on, of course, Colbert to promote it. Is the cackle getting worse?
I'll try to make sense of the declassified Durham Annex bombshell, which is confusing by design but very important. The media silence tells you a lot about its role.
The Presidential Fit Test is back, and it might give you parents an angle to start talking to kids about exercise.
And 'scream clubs' are taking the country by storm...coming to your office next?!

Speaker 1 (00:04):
You did it again despite all the odds, and I
know you had your doubts this week. It was crazy
for everybody. It seems you made it to Friday. We
all did. Congratulations on that, first of all, and secondly,
thank you, thank you very much. Just looking at you know,
I hate getting boged down into the numbers. But the
audio downloads for the audio version of the podcast wherever
you like to get them, and the replays and the
(00:25):
follows on X and all the and we're trying to
make the community on Facebook, which is wicked Wisdom with
Bill as blah blah blah, all that up. And I
appreciate you so much as always, so thank you so
much and welcome. It's making it awesome, a wicked awesome
weekend or Friday or Sunday, whatever it is, if you're
listening or watching later on the replay, whatever you got
going on, Thanks for being here. We got a lot
to talk about today. Guess who's back first and foremost,
(00:47):
Kamala's back. This was so cringey last night. She went
on Colbert. Isn't that perfect? Right?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Gee?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
You know, Stephen Colbert has another Democrat politician on the air.
I can't understand why he was canceled anyway. She went
on to promote her new book last night, which is
called one hundred and seven Days Sober, Just kidding saying no,
it's not day. It's called one hundred and seven Days.
I guess about the campaign, it is so cringe worthy,
not for you audio listeners, but for everybody else in
(01:17):
the live streams so cringey. It requires a video presentation,
which is going to play for you in just a
little bit. We'll get to that all of this declassified
bombshell stuff, and it is a bombshell. We're going to
try in the best possible way to simplify this for
all less normal folks, for my little pea brain and
everybody else is to understand what's going on with that
as well. Something else happened interesting enough in the swamp yesterday.
(01:40):
Fit kids, the presidential fit test test is back. I
remember this when I was a kid. It wasn't as
big a deal as it was like in the sixties,
but Trump brought that back yesterday, which was interesting. Exact
opposite of that. We now have scream clubs, not fitness clubs,
not gyms. People are gathering in big cities across the
(02:01):
country to scream out their frustrations into the open air.
I'm not judging not day. That's fine, I whatever, whatever
works for people. But can you imagine having a whole
office full of these folks, right because you know this
is coming to the workplace. You know some HR manager
somewhere is going to institute this into your workplace. Let's
(02:21):
get to it. Thanks for being here. I appreciate you as always.
All right, let's get to it. Kamala's back, baby, She's
got a new book for you to read. You ready,
you know, and this is interesting, And this is my
first thought on this. When major public personalities are out
of the media eye for a second, it's easy to
forget what they were like day by day. It's just
human nature, like news comes at as so fast we
(02:42):
have to deal with it right. So once it's once
it's out of the headlines, you tend to forget. Or
once once somebody is out of the headlines, you tend
to forget, like like Biden. You did a public speaking
of it the other night, and it was it was
a shocking reminder of just how far he's gone. Right,
same thing with anybody that's been out of the news
and all of a sudden, they're back because they're a
major personality. Like like it or not. Kamala Harris is
(03:05):
a major name. If you run for president, you are
a major name. You just are. Well, she's back last night,
and shocking reminder for me, probably you, because I got
a pretty good sense of who you are. Shocking at
how out of it she is. I mean, the cackle,
it may be worse than during the campaign, makes no sense.
(03:27):
And of course, and this was perfect. She was on
Colber last night promoting the new book. It went probably
exactly as you can imagine. But tell me, tell me
you weren't thinking the same thing. I was watching the
clips from this one last night. Here she is last
night on Colbert talking about the new book.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I mean, there's a lot of personal stuff in the book.
I mean, poor Dougie, for example, my birthday is in October,
the elections in November. You see where I'm going.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I have no idea where you're going. I'm sorry the
cackle was I just I had one recurring thought, and
I don't know if you did either. It's like, first
of all, I got into some I told you this
story before in radio days. I got into serious trouble
in This was February of twenty twenty four. I got
in serious trouble for calling her an alcoholic. I identified
(04:27):
that early. I don't know why. Maybe I've seen it
a lot. I don't know. Maybe it's maybe it's family experience.
I don't know, but I I said, there's something wrong
she is. She's a drunk. I can it's all the
telltale signs. I got a lot of flatback for that.
But tell me you're not thinking that exact same thing
right now? With that and then the cackle, there's just
just something wrong there. Here's the take if if you
(04:49):
were disturbed by that, the old, the whole thing, just
take this as your takeaway. We dodged a major, major bullet.
But there she is. I bet you the book will
do great though. Actually people would be fascinating. I guess
it's about one hundred and seven days not sober. This
is about the shortest campaign she's claiming in history, and
blah blah blah, and she's blaming the system. She went
(05:11):
on to say that's the system, system's fault, right, sure
it is. Whatever, she'll be around for a long time,
not like she's old. So get used to her for
a long long time in the media. All right, Now,
here's another example. If she had one, there's no way
would have gotten into this story. This declassified annex of
(05:32):
the Durham Report that happened. Now, this is probably the
most confusing. I'm not gonna spend a lot of time
on it because we're all trying to get into our weekend.
Probably by design, one of the most confusing stories of
all time, because it was all designed to hide what
was actually happening, going back to twenty sixteen Russia collusion
hoax one and two, and it was all designed. Here's
(05:53):
a great wrap up, in a great explanation overall of
exactly what this is all about. Okay, and this is
coming from I love Benny Johnson's another podcast, Are Big,
big following, but mostly just all politics all the time.
He's obviously, you know, he's a shill for the Republicans.
I get that. But that's fine. That's his angle. Here's
his description of it yesterday, which was so great, and
(06:15):
I thought this is perfect for our purposes, just to
describe it. Today's declassified Durham annex confirms Hillary Clinton personally
approved the plot to frame Trump with fake Russian collusion,
despite intel proving it was false. Disgraced FBI director Christopher Ray,
remember him, at the time, ignored the subpoenas Bury the
key evidence, the Steele dossier intel, which was all made up.
(06:37):
This is fact now, by the way, guys, and marked
it for destruction in FBI burn bags. This is what
was revealed, right, That's the long and short of it.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Like I said, I just said this a matter of
fact a couple of minutes ago to you, guys. I
got a good sense now of who you guys are.
You know, it takes a while to understand who exactly
your audience is. And here's the overall impression I get
for for just normal people. That's who I reach out to,
who have a healthy not a way I distrust you, know,
(07:07):
of anything the government or media is telling you. Now
I understand that because I'm the same way. I totally
get that. You know, it's kind of like what you
what you attract, what you throw out there. I get
that you're probably the exact same way I was when
I went full in for wanting to see Trump succeed.
The first administration was when they started the Russia collusion thing.
(07:28):
You probably were the same way. I'm just taking a
guess here, but probably uh. I could tell right away
just like you did, that this was a bunch of crap.
There was nothing to it. But they couldn't come up
with any hard evidence to prove that this is this
is what this was dangerous. I mean, this was, you know,
trying to take out your political opponent and using every
(07:50):
asset that they had in that government at the time,
signed off by everybody, to try to take him out.
I could see that clear as day. But now they
have some proof. So here's another explanation of it, and
then we'll wrap it up with this. Here's the thing
that bothers me the most about it. They even Benny
Johnson there, mentioned everybody, right, Christopher Ray, Hillary Clinton's campaign,
(08:11):
her herself, Obama had to sign off on it, all
of the intel agencies, FBI, CIA, they all had to
put this together, which is frightening. But there's one element
in this whole thing that's not being blamed enough. None
of this happens, none of it without mainstream media. None
of it stands to reason why they were dead silent
last night. Now here's a guy I always go to
to try to get the best explanation when everything is
(08:33):
constitutional or legal, I go to two sources, Alan Dershowitz
and Jonathan Turley, both legal minds that have completely different ideologies.
This is why like both of them, but they're both constitutionalists,
which is great to get both of their opinions. Jonathan
Turley was on Hannity last night to try to figure
this out for myself about the media aspect of it,
(08:54):
because I knew he was going to talk about this,
and he did. This is long, but it's a great
explanation of how complicent mainstream media is in this entire affair.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
And all of this required this all on deck effort,
the government, the campaign, the media. That's why when you
see the reaction of the media today, it's clear that
no matter what is produced, you can show a dozen
heads in a Duffel bag and they're still not impressed.
And the reason is that for most of the media,
(09:25):
this is not coverage. It would be a confession. That is,
if they actually cover this story, they are confessing their
own role in what may be the greatest political hit
job in history.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Okay, now this is why I kept that clip. He
talked for a long time on Hnnity last night. He
he's a great guy to go to. Obviously, Jonathan Turley
isn't a guy that says biggest political hit job in
our history without meaning it. Like he doesn't throw out
hyper hyperbole too much. Out there are big bombshells for
him to describe it that way he is, and other
(10:01):
constitutionalists are saying the exact same thing too. Now he
did inher it there in the clip, but he opened
up his statement on air last night by saying, this town,
meaning Washington, DC, is in a panic tonight. It's not
going away and it is big. I'll wrap it up
by that. But going back to what I said originally,
you were probably here's the great takeaway on this. If
(10:24):
you sniffed this out right away, as a smart citizen
who just pays attention to what's going on, you should
feel justified today because now you have something that backed
up your suspicion all along for how many you know,
we're almost going on a decade on this. If you
sniff that out right away, when I think you probably
did good for you because you were right, that should
be your takeaway. You should get some hopefully there's some
(10:45):
justice arrests who the hell knows. Good God, we're talking
about Washington, DC and the deepest of the deepest swamp.
I don't know. But as far as a start goes
finding out who the key players were in what he
calls the biggest hit job in history, pretty good start
in my book, I tell you that much. Speaking of
the swamp in Washington, DC. This is a lighter fair yesterday,
(11:06):
the presidential fit test is back. I'm jen X and
I think most of you are too. Do you remember
this as a kid? I remember the fit test. It
wasn't that it wasn't that big of a deal like
I had heard. It was in the early seventies and
the sixties. For those kids in the eighties, it was
kind of like already fading. But it was a certain
requirement you had to do. I remember the ropes. Remember
he had to climb the ropes. I remember that there
(11:26):
was this blue thing you had to do, like a
stretch down, and it kept you and you put it
in your percentile and how flexible and how pliable you were.
I remember that one. I think there was a certain
amount of time you had to run the mile in.
It was all good stuff, you know, it was whatever
I was kind of enjoyed it. I liked it. I
was nervous about the ropes, but then I passed. That
was fine. But it's back as President. Trump had a
(11:47):
bunch of athletes yesterday at the White House. You know
my theory on this. I think anything that involves teams, athletes,
championships of any kind, he's all in because he loves
hanging out with these guys. I think his Presidential library
is to look like a sports pomp. I swear he
loves this stuff. So there he was surrounded by some
championship golfer, triple h wrestler Harrison Butker, the kicker for
(12:12):
the Chiefs. I think lt was there, Lawrence Taylor, a
whole bunch of athletes, and Trump loves that kind of stuff.
But here was this announcement just yesterday, and I think
it's good.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I'm pleased to announce that we're officially restoring the Presidential
Fitness Test and the Presidential Fitness Award, and it's going
to be a very big thing. From the late nineteen
fifties until the twenty thirteen, graduate scholars all across our
country competed against each other in the Presidential Fitness Tests
(12:40):
and it was a big deal.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Was a big deal. I forgot about that till he
said it. And I guess that kind of ended at
twenty thirteen, like they took away the requirements because remember
what happened then, Remember twenty thirteen to require fitness and
to promote into literally award with patches. Remember they actually
had fitness test awards. Oh that's body shaming. Remember they told, oh,
(13:02):
that's body shaming, we have to get rid of that.
Well it's back not body shaming anymore. Now. Compare that
to found this clip of JFK talking about instituting the
original Fitness test in nineteen sixty one. Listen to the
importance they had back then. It appears the same importance as.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Back I hope that all of you will join and
everybody in the United States to make sure that our
children participate fully in a vigorous and adventurous life which
is possible for them in this very rich country of God.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
That would be Oh man, how awesome would it be
to have any kind of digital media or a podcast
or a livestream these days with JFK around, That would
have been awesome just to play that guy every day.
Let's do it, right, there because you know what he's thinking,
we can't have a bunch of fat kids in our society.
But there he was instituting it, and it's back and
(13:52):
it's good. Now. If you're a parent of a kid
that would be going through this, if you have kids
in any kind of elementary school where this would be,
any school where this would be required, this is how
you can take advantage of it. I know, just like
anybody else does. I totally get how tough it can
be to get kids to start exercising these days. It's
it's just tough. You have every distraction in the world,
(14:15):
with social media, with other stuff staying inside, you know
what I mean, It's tough to get kids to start
an exercise program these days. If they are of the
competitive variety and they got to do this anyway, this
might be a great way to at least open up
the conversation, conversation. Maybe I hope it goes well for you,
you know what I mean? Hey, you know this is happening.
(14:36):
That's fit test is back. You might want to start.
Here's an easy way to ease into it. Don't be afraid.
Here's here's the benefits of exercise. I get it. I
know you're laughing at me. I know that's a tough
conversation to have with kids. I've gone through it. I
get it. But it might be a good opener, so
I still see it as a good thing. Now, the
opposite of the fit kids are the scream club kids.
(14:57):
I saved this for last to send us into the
weekend with a good chuckle.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Kind of.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
But even though I think it's kind of funny, I
laughed at it. I think it's gonna grow. I think
it's gonna be very, very successful. Here's the story. Chicago
has a scream club, scream like where they work out
their frustrations, and there are plans to bring these scream
club clubs to other major cities across the country. Very
(15:25):
appealing to millennials and gen zers, as you can imagine.
Here's what I think. I think it's gonna spread to
HR departments in your company and others pretty soon. To
have a scream club. Just go outside, and here's what
they do. They just yell into the wind or in Chicago,
they went on the shore of Lake Michigan and they
just yelled. You don't believe me, all right, here's the
(15:48):
Chicago scream Clow.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Picture us like a like a pressure cooker, and what
happens when the pressure cooker gets to pressureize, right, it explodes.
I think this is a good way for us to
be able to in a healthy way release whatever we
have going on inside out into the void and then
reducing that pressure that we have inside.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
After doing this, since I become more happier, a lot happier.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
In fact, I get to meet a lot of people
who are going through, you know, different things, and you know,
there's no judgment here.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I'm not judging. I don't judge the guy that's okay,
whatever works for you, all right, work out your anxieties.
And he said right there, which I think is actually
healthy what the guy said at the end, meet some
other people. Let's take the positive. At least they're going outside, right,
at least they're working out their problems and they're not
taking it out and destroying public property. They're working it out.
(16:45):
No problem with that. Here's my only concern. Can you
imagine having an employee, like you're the boss, you're the
manager in charge of somebody that actually goes to a
screen club and does this have because they have to
do this because they have a little bit of a
problem dealing with reality and stress. You know, it's like,
(17:06):
uh hey, uh hey, Jaden, you know, I noticed that
your quarterly report had some errors in it. I'm gonna
I'm gonna make your redo and Jayden goes or you're
this other benefit to it too. You know, you're hiring
somebody and going through some resumes and you finally get
in a candidate sitting across from you. All right, what
are some of your other activities? What do you like
(17:28):
to do for extra curricular And the young person says, well,
I like to work up my anxieties every Sunday at
a scream club or every morning before work. All right, next,
thanks for coming in. All right. Maybe completely wrong on that.
Maybe it's a maybe it's a healthy, positive thing where
they work out their frustrations and they're better in the workplace.
(17:49):
I don't know, I just thought it was I thought
it was something more importantly. Happy weekend, Happy Friday. If
you're listening or watching later on the replay, thanks for
being here, Press follow, appreciate you no notifications on the
audio podcast, press subscribe or follow or all that stuff.
Whatever your platform does to get us into it so
that you know when new podcast episodes are coming out.
(18:10):
And it's been a hell of a week. Like I said,
enjoy it, make it awesome, and we'll catch up on Monday.
I'll talk to you then
You did it again despite all the odds, and I
know you had your doubts this week. It was crazy
for everybody. It seems you made it to Friday. We
all did. Congratulations on that, first of all, and secondly,
thank you, thank you very much. Just looking at you know,
I hate getting boged down into the numbers. But the
audio downloads for the audio version of the podcast wherever
you like to get them, and the replays and the
(00:25):
follows on X and all the and we're trying to
make the community on Facebook, which is wicked Wisdom with
Bill as blah blah blah, all that up. And I
appreciate you so much as always, so thank you so
much and welcome. It's making it awesome, a wicked awesome
weekend or Friday or Sunday, whatever it is, if you're

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Like I said, I just said this a matter of
fact a couple of minutes ago to you, guys. I
got a good sense now of who you guys are.
You know, it takes a while to understand who exactly
your audience is. And here's the overall impression I get
for for just normal people. That's who I reach out to,
who have a healthy not a way I distrust you, know,
(07:07):
of anything the government or media is telling you. Now
I understand that because I'm the same way. I totally
get that. You know, it's kind of like what you
what you attract, what you throw out there. I get
that you're probably the exact same way I was when
I went full in for wanting to see Trump succeed.
The first administration was when they started the Russia collusion thing.
(07:28):
You probably were the same way. I'm just taking a
guess here, but probably uh. I could tell right away
just like you did, that this was a bunch of crap.
There was nothing to it. But they couldn't come up
with any hard evidence to prove that this is this
is what this was dangerous. I mean, this was, you know,
trying to take out your political opponent and using every
(07:50):
asset that they had in that government at the time,
signed off by everybody, to try to take him out.
I could see that clear as day. But now they
have some proof. So here's another explanation of it, and
then we'll wrap it up with this. Here's the thing
that bothers me the most about it. They even Benny
Johnson there, mentioned everybody, right, Christopher Ray, Hillary Clinton's campaign,
(08:11):
her herself, Obama had to sign off on it, all
of the intel agencies, FBI, CIA, they all had to
put this together, which is frightening. But there's one element
in this whole thing that's not being blamed enough. None
of this happens, none of it without mainstream media. None
of it stands to reason why they were dead silent
last night. Now here's a guy I always go to
to try to get the best explanation when everything is
(08:33):
constitutional or legal, I go to two sources, Alan Dershowitz
and Jonathan Turley, both legal minds that have completely different ideologies.
This is why like both of them, but they're both constitutionalists,
which is great to get both of their opinions. Jonathan
Turley was on Hannity last night to try to figure
this out for myself about the media aspect of it,
(08:54):
because I knew he was going to talk about this,
and he did. This is long, but it's a great
explanation of how complicent mainstream media is in this entire affair.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
And all of this required this all on deck effort,
the government, the campaign, the media. That's why when you
see the reaction of the media today, it's clear that
no matter what is produced, you can show a dozen
heads in a Duffel bag and they're still not impressed.
And the reason is that for most of the media,
(09:25):
this is not coverage. It would be a confession. That is,
if they actually cover this story, they are confessing their
own role in what may be the greatest political hit
job in history.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Okay, now this is why I kept that clip. He
talked for a long time on Hnnity last night. He
he's a great guy to go to. Obviously, Jonathan Turley
isn't a guy that says biggest political hit job in
our history without meaning it. Like he doesn't throw out
hyper hyperbole too much. Out there are big bombshells for
him to describe it that way he is, and other
(10:01):
constitutionalists are saying the exact same thing too. Now he
did inher it there in the clip, but he opened
up his statement on air last night by saying, this town,
meaning Washington, DC, is in a panic tonight. It's not
going away and it is big. I'll wrap it up
by that. But going back to what I said originally,
you were probably here's the great takeaway on this. If
(10:24):
you sniffed this out right away, as a smart citizen
who just pays attention to what's going on, you should
feel justified today because now you have something that backed
up your suspicion all along for how many you know,
we're almost going on a decade on this. If you
sniff that out right away, when I think you probably
did good for you because you were right, that should
be your takeaway. You should get some hopefully there's some
(10:45):
justice arrests who the hell knows. Good God, we're talking
about Washington, DC and the deepest of the deepest swamp.
I don't know. But as far as a start goes
finding out who the key players were in what he
calls the biggest hit job in history, pretty good start
in my book, I tell you that much. Speaking of
the swamp in Washington, DC. This is a lighter fair yesterday,
(11:06):
the presidential fit test is back. I'm jen X and
I think most of you are too. Do you remember
this as a kid? I remember the fit test. It
wasn't that it wasn't that big of a deal like
I had heard. It was in the early seventies and
the sixties. For those kids in the eighties, it was
kind of like already fading. But it was a certain
requirement you had to do. I remember the ropes. Remember
he had to climb the ropes. I remember that there
(11:26):
was this blue thing you had to do, like a
stretch down, and it kept you and you put it
in your percentile and how flexible and how pliable you were.
I remember that one. I think there was a certain
amount of time you had to run the mile in.
It was all good stuff, you know, it was whatever
I was kind of enjoyed it. I liked it. I
was nervous about the ropes, but then I passed. That
was fine. But it's back as President. Trump had a
(11:47):
bunch of athletes yesterday at the White House. You know
my theory on this. I think anything that involves teams, athletes,
championships of any kind, he's all in because he loves
hanging out with these guys. I think his Presidential library
is to look like a sports pomp. I swear he
loves this stuff. So there he was surrounded by some
championship golfer, triple h wrestler Harrison Butker, the kicker for
(12:12):
the Chiefs. I think lt was there, Lawrence Taylor, a
whole bunch of athletes, and Trump loves that kind of stuff.
But here was this announcement just yesterday, and I think
it's good.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I'm pleased to announce that we're officially restoring the Presidential
Fitness Test and the Presidential Fitness Award, and it's going
to be a very big thing. From the late nineteen
fifties until the twenty thirteen, graduate scholars all across our
country competed against each other in the Presidential Fitness Tests
(12:40):
and it was a big deal.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Was a big deal. I forgot about that till he
said it. And I guess that kind of ended at
twenty thirteen, like they took away the requirements because remember
what happened then, Remember twenty thirteen to require fitness and
to promote into literally award with patches. Remember they actually
had fitness test awards. Oh that's body shaming. Remember they told, oh,
(13:02):
that's body shaming, we have to get rid of that.
Well it's back not body shaming anymore. Now. Compare that
to found this clip of JFK talking about instituting the
original Fitness test in nineteen sixty one. Listen to the
importance they had back then. It appears the same importance as.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Back I hope that all of you will join and
everybody in the United States to make sure that our
children participate fully in a vigorous and adventurous life which
is possible for them in this very rich country of God.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
That would be Oh man, how awesome would it be
to have any kind of digital media or a podcast
or a livestream these days with JFK around, That would
have been awesome just to play that guy every day.
Let's do it, right, there because you know what he's thinking,
we can't have a bunch of fat kids in our society.
But there he was instituting it, and it's back and
(13:52):
it's good. Now. If you're a parent of a kid
that would be going through this, if you have kids
in any kind of elementary school where this would be,
any school where this would be required, this is how
you can take advantage of it. I know, just like
anybody else does. I totally get how tough it can
be to get kids to start exercising these days. It's
it's just tough. You have every distraction in the world,
(14:15):
with social media, with other stuff staying inside, you know
what I mean, It's tough to get kids to start
an exercise program these days. If they are of the
competitive variety and they got to do this anyway, this
might be a great way to at least open up
the conversation, conversation. Maybe I hope it goes well for you,
you know what I mean? Hey, you know this is happening.
(14:36):
That's fit test is back. You might want to start.
Here's an easy way to ease into it. Don't be afraid.
Here's here's the benefits of exercise. I get it. I
know you're laughing at me. I know that's a tough
conversation to have with kids. I've gone through it. I
get it. But it might be a good opener, so
I still see it as a good thing. Now, the
opposite of the fit kids are the scream club kids.
(14:57):
I saved this for last to send us into the
weekend with a good chuckle.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Kind of.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
But even though I think it's kind of funny, I
laughed at it. I think it's gonna grow. I think
it's gonna be very, very successful. Here's the story. Chicago
has a scream club, scream like where they work out
their frustrations, and there are plans to bring these scream
club clubs to other major cities across the country. Very
(15:25):
appealing to millennials and gen zers, as you can imagine.
Here's what I think. I think it's gonna spread to
HR departments in your company and others pretty soon. To
have a scream club. Just go outside, and here's what
they do. They just yell into the wind or in Chicago,
they went on the shore of Lake Michigan and they
just yelled. You don't believe me, all right, here's the
(15:48):
Chicago scream Clow.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Picture us like a like a pressure cooker, and what
happens when the pressure cooker gets to pressureize, right, it explodes.
I think this is a good way for us to
be able to in a healthy way release whatever we
have going on inside out into the void and then
reducing that pressure that we have inside.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
After doing this, since I become more happier, a lot happier.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
In fact, I get to meet a lot of people
who are going through, you know, different things, and you know,
there's no judgment here.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I'm not judging. I don't judge the guy that's okay,
whatever works for you, all right, work out your anxieties.
And he said right there, which I think is actually
healthy what the guy said at the end, meet some
other people. Let's take the positive. At least they're going outside, right,
at least they're working out their problems and they're not
taking it out and destroying public property. They're working it out.
(16:45):
No problem with that. Here's my only concern. Can you
imagine having an employee, like you're the boss, you're the
manager in charge of somebody that actually goes to a
screen club and does this have because they have to
do this because they have a little bit of a
problem dealing with reality and stress. You know, it's like,
(17:06):
uh hey, uh hey, Jaden, you know, I noticed that
your quarterly report had some errors in it. I'm gonna
I'm gonna make your redo and Jayden goes or you're
this other benefit to it too. You know, you're hiring
somebody and going through some resumes and you finally get
in a candidate sitting across from you. All right, what
are some of your other activities? What do you like
(17:28):
to do for extra curricular And the young person says, well,
I like to work up my anxieties every Sunday at
a scream club or every morning before work. All right, next,
thanks for coming in. All right. Maybe completely wrong on that.
Maybe it's a maybe it's a healthy, positive thing where
they work out their frustrations and they're better in the workplace.
(17:49):
I don't know, I just thought it was I thought
it was something more importantly. Happy weekend, Happy Friday. If
