Hear Tom and day and the rest of our great program.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Everything going okay today, guys. It's Friday, Good day Friday.

Speaker 6 (02:04):
For sure unless you live on the coast.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah, it's wild man, that whole idea that that storm
is absolutely pounding parts of our audience right now, like Melbourne,
Titusville that areagewater. Here in Orlando, we could be up
playing golf right now. It's so weird.

Speaker 5 (02:20):
Well, there's actually three things that are working against the
coast right now. One, we have king tides. Again, if
you've seen any video from Daytona Beach, there.

Speaker 6 (02:28):
Is no beach. It's slashing waves right up into the
sea wall.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Even at low tide. It was amazing how little beach
there was exactly.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
And then we also and I will talk about this
a little bit in coming up during JCS News, there's
also a cold front that's also pushing across us. And
then you have I forgot what the third one that
nor'eastern that's growing all the one that's really going to
slam the Carolinas. But it's going to be a problem
for like Florida's first coast, think Saint Augustine, Jacksonville, but

(02:57):
like New Smyrna Beach, Daytona Beach, they're getting it today.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
I know Jacksonville up there in North Florida because I'm
going up tomorrow for my fortieth anniversary or at my
fortieth reunion, and that area up there, I know, it's
so crazy. That area up there in Saint Augustine's getting
wrecked right now. It really is raining like crazy.

Speaker 6 (03:13):
How do we get through all of these days this week?

Speaker 5 (03:16):
And we haven't talked about the fact that you're going
to be rubbing elbows with people you haven't seen in
forty years.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Some of them I've seen a couple of them, because
there have been a couple other get togethers, you know,
up there, and I've gone to a couple of them.
But this was the first. This is the official fortieth.
And I looked at the list of people coming. We
have about like I think forty or fifty people coming,
and I think our graduating class was no more than
maybe three hundred.

Speaker 7 (03:39):
Despite your looks, I'm always surprised to be reminded how.

Speaker 8 (03:43):
Old you are.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah, yeah, I know it's crazy.

Speaker 8 (03:45):
Right.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Look, can I tell you when I text my buddy
Code Black today about the because he asked me what
we were doing this weekend and I told him, he goes.
He just text BacT fortieth with a bunch of exclamation
points and I deleted his contact. Dude, he's like in
his thirties. Yeah, you know he's not. He's the thirties.
His next year is the fortieth. Oh really, I tell
you it's weird about it if you really want to

(04:07):
know the true weird thing about you know, going to
your fortieth class reunion.

Speaker 6 (04:11):
Seeing the girl that you used to think was hot
now she's No.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
It's this. I remember when I first started dating my
first wife, right, and one of the I think either
the first or second date that I showed up to
pick her up, her parents were preparing to go to
their thirtieth Oh oh baby, it might not have been
been it might have been their twentieth. Oh so you

(04:37):
talk about how old you feel like, I remember that
first date I pulled in. They were all dressed up
and they were headed to either their twentieth or thirtieth
class reunion and that really put it in perspective to
how you know, how quickly time passes.

Speaker 6 (04:50):
No doubt.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
And the weird thing for me, and I don't know
about you guys. You know, I don't feel even though
I'm fifty seven, I do not act or feel like
that at all. I don't have that mentality in the least.
I don't do old people's stuff, not at all.

Speaker 6 (05:01):
Until you get your metal detective.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Talk about the weather's about the oldest thing now.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
That in your crossword puzzle with blanket across your my
favorite part is the mining light he wears on his foret.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
I don't do that anymore. I don't do it anymore.
That was a very specific scenario, very but just the
idea of how how long ago two thousand was, because
for people born in like the eighties, or you know,
for people who were teens in the eighties and stuff,
the year two thousand was an ominous date. It was
like an ominous, like that's when things went into Star

(05:35):
Trek world and exactly that's when everybody had lasers and and.

Speaker 6 (05:38):
Now you right, we're going to really live like the Jetsons.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah, you rode the Back to the Future skateboard to school.
You floated there.

Speaker 7 (05:46):
If you believe we're a quarter of the way through
this century, probably from that significant watershed moment of the
whole y two k thing.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
I was just about to mention that that, like, of
all the things you look at technology, now we're talking
about what AI jobs are going to be taking. I
know exactly right, we've gone that far. And in two
thousand we were like, we're gonna have to hit her
computer with a baseball bat to come to keep it
from taking our life.

Speaker 7 (06:07):
Planes are gonna fall out of the sky, like we
had no idea. Actually, hey, twenty five years later, we
still have the same thread of planes possibly falling out
of the sky.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
See how nothing changes if that's the weird thing for me,
Like thinking that two thousand was twenty five years ago
is the craziest of all the time leap jump type things.

Speaker 6 (06:28):
Oh yeah, that it wears, Yeah, that would be you know,
it's interesting.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
I'll be interested to hear what your experience is like,
because I'm almost tempted to start doing like a Google
to see like in a Saint Joe's Academy meeting anytime soon.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
That would be cool. Well, I tell you one of
the trends on Instagram right now, and I guess maybe
the summer is the time that people have reunions. I
don't know, because one of the things on Instagram now
is is people go to the reunion and they show
you the high school picture of the senior picture, and
then they fast forward to the reunion and they show
you that same person now, So that that's happening in

(07:01):
a lot on insta.

Speaker 5 (07:03):
I was going to say, I can tell why your
algorithm is showing you that I haven't seen any of
that high school Yeah, I really know that.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, what have you watched one of them for two seconds?
You're about to get six years of them.

Speaker 7 (07:12):
If you're going to your fortieth reunion in Palatka, Yes,
would you do us a favor? And whar perhaps a
I'm with her or a Kamala Harris hat.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Come on, dude, not a chance, dude, not a chance.
I'm not with her.

Speaker 5 (07:30):
Somebody just texted, Hey, JCS crew, I'm going to my
fiftieth in this weekend from Merritt Island High Crazy.

Speaker 6 (07:37):
Congratulations, Oh thanks old Oh.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah, I don't know how many of those people. I
don't know how many people go anymore. I mean I
know you two don't because I've ever been. It's wild
that you don't. You don't have any contact with any
of your former classmates. I think that's a little weird. Hey,
they nowhere. I'm on it. I'm on what do you
call it? Facebook?

Speaker 6 (07:53):
Is the Facebook? And you called me old?

Speaker 2 (07:56):
I'm there, I'm on the what do you call it?
No one reach it out? I don't know.

Speaker 7 (07:59):
I leah in the email from classmates dot com every
single day. Well, yeah, I've tried unsubscribing. They still keep comming.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
I've got to do.

Speaker 6 (08:08):
I don't want to reconnect.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Dude, we have one of those. Let me ask you
a serious question. I don't mean to flip the switch here.
So do you ever get those free newspapers? What was
the one? Was it called Penny Saver back in the.

Speaker 6 (08:19):
Day we get the Triangle?

Speaker 2 (08:22):
There was another one. There was another one too, There
was a Penny Saver. There was another one of these
kind of local rag kind of newspapers that basically was
a collection of like classified ads and stuff like that.
They would have some journalism in there and be like, oh,
we opened a new pitch of Penny or something like that. Right, Well,
we have one, and they throw one. We have a
circular driveway, so that means we have two entrances into

(08:42):
the driveway. Right, so they will throw a paper in
both of those entrances. Right. We have not only written them,
we have called them multiple times. Do not throw your
newspaper into our driveway. We're not interested in your newspaper.
We don't want it. Unsubscribe us immediately. That thing hasn't

(09:03):
stopped even it hasn't even paused on time. Every time.
What does it take. They're throwing there, They're littering on
my property.

Speaker 7 (09:10):
Now you need to leave them there, and then you
need to be there when they come. And when they come,
you start throwing them at the car every day and
you say you.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Keep throwing this at me, I will throw it back
at you. Dude, I stop. I'm not kidding. My wife
has called them twice like, hey, could you please just
take us off this list. We don't want your trash,
we don't want to waste, we don't want this in
our driveway. And it's just littering our driveway. And sure enough,
it's never never paused. It's like we never made the call.

Speaker 7 (09:35):
They need to be able to tell potential advertisers that
they deliver to two hundred thousand homes.

Speaker 9 (09:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah, and they're not gonna let you lower that number.

Speaker 6 (09:44):
And I know exactly how to stop it.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
You just place your wife at the end of the
driveway and wait till the delivery driver arrives.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
I would not wish that on anybody.

Speaker 6 (09:53):
Well you want it to stop.

Speaker 7 (09:55):
Yeah, they prefer you throwing the paper back at them.
Yeah right right, brows nine four ones, you get it
in the window, that would be great.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Six seven c A a higher charge would be great. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (10:07):
Maybe it'll hit him and I'll get to thrown in
jail that day. Oh flaming Come on, buddy, Yeah yeah.
Oh so you're with her?

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Just found out. I mentioned this the other day, and
I'm kind of interested. We do have it as our
question of the day. Would you leave the country to
receive medical care to save money?

Speaker 6 (10:24):
Absolutely?

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Okay, So I you know, my wife and I are
talking about going to Brazil next year because I need
some tooth stuff. And here in town or here in America,
it's like ten thousand dollars a tooth or whatever, right
and down there it's like three or two or whatever
the case may be. And of course, you don't have
to sacrifice quality, because if you look at any of
the people in the South, any of those services in
South America, it's nothing, but you know, with glowing reviews

(10:47):
about how good the service is and how great the quality.

Speaker 6 (10:49):
Is called medical tourism for a reason.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
And we just found out another person that we know
is doing the very same thing. And I'm very interested,
you know. I mean, obviously, medical care in America is
extremely expensive. The insurance business has made it so almost
impossible for people to get procedures without coverage, and even
then they have to cover a large part of that,
or maybe twenty percent of that or so, you know,

(11:12):
with their own funds, and that could still be thousands
of dollars.

Speaker 6 (11:15):
That, of course we all have just laying around.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Sure, yeah, I mean the idea of flying to either
South America or maybe.

Speaker 5 (11:21):
East Central America, Costa Rica, Asia, yeah, Asia as well.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
To receive some of these services, and you could justify
the travel expense because you're still even with the travel
coming up thousands of dollars cheaper. I wonder what percentage
of our audience would do that. I find that interesting.
So we have that as our question of today you
can get that where in our YouTube chat. You go
to YouTube search Jim Culbert Show. You can watch the
show there, take part in the chat. Very nice that

(11:46):
What do you have for news today?

Speaker 5 (11:47):
Unfortunately, we're going to talk about multiple people dead at
a Tennessee explosives plant.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
The photographs are just absolutely unbelievable.

Speaker 5 (11:55):
They really are building there. Closer at home, we just
talked about the little bit, but we do have a
coastal storm brewing off Florida and have no fear trigger treaders.
Eminem's is bringing back the Halloween Rescue Squad.

It's time for JCS news.

Speaker 8 (13:28):
Wow, this guy gotta put his name on everything.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
It's in my contracted here's.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
The news on the Jim Cober Show.

Speaker 5 (13:35):
And JCS News is brought to you by that mortgage guy.
Don Hey give him a listen tomorrow morning when he's
host of the Home Loans radio show. The remaining Israeli
hostages are expected to be released today. Of the forty
eight remaining. Only twenty are believed to be alive. Judy
Elios of Heroes, of Heroes to Heroes, It's an organization
that brings veterans to Israel for healing, says. The survivors

(13:58):
who are kept in cages and stars have a tough
psychological road ahead of them.

Speaker 11 (14:03):
We had already lost one hostage to suicide, and that
scares me about them.

Speaker 5 (14:09):
Once all of the hostages are released, Israel will release
two hundred and fifty life sentence prisoners, plus seventeen hundred
Palestinians detained after the war broke out two years ago.
This is all part of President Trump's twenty point peace plan,
starting with the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip.
Back Stateside, several people are missing after a deadly blast

(14:30):
at an explosive manufacturing plant in Tennessee. Humphreys County Sheriff
Chris Davis says the explosion was massive. Just look at
our YouTube channel and Jack has the photo where you
can see the destruction.

Speaker 8 (14:42):
Geez, very devastating blast.

Speaker 11 (14:43):
It encompassed a one whole building.

Speaker 5 (14:47):
Yeah, the explosion happened this morning at accurate energetic systems
and McEwan that's located about fifty miles west of Nashville.
It's unclear still how many people have died, and the
local sheriff says over a dozen people are missing, at
least nineteen. The plant specializes in producing military explosives. No
word on a cause, but there was a brush fire

(15:08):
near the plant at.

Speaker 6 (15:10):
The time of the blast.

Speaker 8 (15:11):
Look at that.

Speaker 6 (15:12):
And again, if you're watching us on our YouTube, I
mean literally.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
We're talking about I beams that have been twisted like
pieces of pasta.

Speaker 5 (15:18):
It looks like a war zone. Yeah, I mean that
was where a building with the parking lot unbelievable once stood.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
It looks like a missile striking.

Speaker 6 (15:27):
It really does.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
That's what it looks like.

Speaker 6 (15:28):
Yeah, it really really does. All right.

Speaker 5 (15:31):
Closer to home, a fire erupted on a part of
the track of the closed roller coaster at Universal Orlando,
the Hollywood Rip Ride. Rocket caught fire this morning and
fire crews it's.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Not running exactly.

Speaker 7 (15:44):
They've been taking this thing apart exactly.

Speaker 5 (15:47):
Fire crews were able to get it under control. You're right, Jack.

Speaker 6 (15:50):
The roller coaster closed.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
Back on August eighteenth and is being demolished to make
way for another attraction. All right, Pedestrian deaths in the
US are at an all time high, and of course
Florida is no exception. How many pedestrians were killed by
motor vehicles in Florida in twenty twenty three, twenty three
in twenty twenty three, how many pedestrians.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Would have killed out of bats in Florida had a
bad year that year, So it's going to be high.
Three hundred and ten, one hundred and fifty.

Speaker 6 (16:18):
Three, seven hundred and seventy.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 5 (16:21):
That's according to newly released data from the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Are we still number one?

Speaker 6 (16:26):
I don't know, Florida.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Don't come here walking exactly.

Speaker 5 (16:30):
There were over seventy three hundred fatalities nationally. That is
up eighty percent since two thousand and nine.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah, you know what happened around two thousand and eight,
Right when did social media hit?

Speaker 6 (16:43):
That would have been right around there.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
How people looking at their fault. Yeah, that's what's happening.
I mean, it's pretty easy to see that's what's happening.

Speaker 6 (16:48):
But I had no thought about that.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
The pedestrian also includes people on bikes. Yeah, for sure,
that's what it doesn't matter. I mean if you yeah,
it does. I'm not Oh you mean in the car, yeah,
in the car. Yeah. I thought you've been like people
walking now like no, No, it's people in their car but
not paying attention, riding up on sidewalks because they're looking
at the Instagram, or they're ripping through reels while they're
going down the road at forty or fifty. That's what's
going on.

Speaker 6 (17:09):
He's not wrong there.

Speaker 5 (17:10):
But you know you're right though, too, jack, because if
you remember, a lot of municipalities had to remind pedestrians
look up, don't just simply cross the road, because if
there's a green light and you're just walking looking at
your phone, you're gonna get hit.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
I do that in my car. Yeah, I'm triple checking
every time.

Speaker 8 (17:27):
I know.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
I don't know when some jackass eighteen year old's gonna
roll through because his boyfriend texts at the wrong time.
Because Florida is the worst for cars and bikes and pedestrians,
I will ride on the sidewalk on main roads just
for safety. However, if I'm coming up on somebody, typically
they got it earbuds in where I'm like coum it

(17:47):
up behind you. On your left, no way on your.

Speaker 6 (17:49):
Lapt But those gotta be real close, yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
For them to hear me. And then they're like, ah, yeah,
you know. That's why you always keep one of those out, man.

Speaker 6 (17:56):
You should.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, that's what I would tell kids all the time.
Just keep one of those things out of your ear.
You can still here with the music and enjoy it.
Just keep one out so nobody can sneak up on you.

Speaker 6 (18:04):
Or when you're a young woman out running or walking
on your own.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Absolutely.

Speaker 5 (18:09):
The report says deaths are rising mainly in urban areas,
no surprise there. It notes that other countries are not
seeing similar spikes. So all right, a strong coastal storm
forming off Florida's East coast, but the worst impacts are
expected farther north. Still, parts of Florida are seeing dusty winds,
rough surf, and flooding along the Atlantic shoreline. Right, we
just got that phone call up from Atlantic at Jacksonville Beach.

(18:30):
The system is helping push a cold front through the state,
bringing cooler, dryer air starting this weekend. High wind and
coastal flood alerts are already in effect up and down
the East coast. For example, if you are planning to
be an Edgewater today, you might want to pick another day.

Speaker 6 (18:44):
Police have already closed off several roads.

Speaker 5 (18:47):
They're trying to keep people from driving through those flooded roadways,
creating a wake that then pushes those waters into people's homes. Meanwhile,
subtropical Storm Karen has formed in the Atlantic, becoming the
eleventh named storm of the twenty twenty five Atlanta hurricane season,
which has now past its most active stretch. Meanwhile, the
National Hurricane Center says tropical Storm Jerry continues to spin

(19:07):
across the Atlantic. It could still strengthen into a hurricane,
but really all watches and warnings have been discontinued for Jerry.
The good news is both systems are moving away from
the US mainland.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
All right.

Speaker 5 (19:19):
A follow up to a story that we have followed.
It's the end of an era for Miami c Aquarium
closing for good Sunday after how many years on Virginia Key?
How old is Miami sa Quarium?

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Sixty five years?

Speaker 8 (19:36):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (19:36):
Sixty seven points, Jackie shawed you more than seven decades,
more than seven decades. So the new developer is planning
on relocating the dolphins, sea lions and other mammals there,
but former animal trainer Valerie Warren has started a online
petition to try and stop that from happening.

Speaker 6 (19:56):
And here's why.

Speaker 12 (19:58):
Moving them too quickly or without Paul specialists could cause
extreme stress or even death.

Speaker 5 (20:03):
I've signed that petition myself, but since Monday, the petition
has received two thousand signatures. The bankrupt theme park is
being sold for twenty two million dollars to a local
development firm planning on keeping this aquarium name and opening
a new aquarium.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Really, we'll see, yeah, we'll see. That's what I tell

Speaker 6 (21:04):
A new video highlights the unique.

Speaker 5 (21:05):
Challenges law enforcement officers sometimes face. The Daytona Beach Police
Department on Wednesday posted video on Facebook of an incident
Monday morning. Officers were called after an iguana was seen
roaming the city.

Speaker 6 (21:18):
It was feisty.

Speaker 5 (21:19):
Yeah, took two officers to catch it and put it
in the back of the squad.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
Do you see the size of that thing? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (21:24):
I did.

Speaker 6 (21:24):
It was huge.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
It was like a small gator. It's exactly what it was.
It looked like a baby gator like that. The cop
grabbed it around the belly and both of his hands
didn't touch that's how big it was.

Speaker 5 (21:35):
No one was hurt, and there's no word on who
the iguana may belong to.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
That thing would whip the soul out of you if
you hit it with that thing. Have you ever heard
about those How hard the little ones will even and
whip your ass? No, you those big ones and those
tails are like four and a half feet long. They
get that thing going get out of here, forget about it.
I will stomp a big fat iguana's ass. That thing
is that it was, that's all that thing. I'm like, no, thanks, buddy,
I shoot that thing. I don't try to grab it.

Speaker 6 (21:59):
Oh, come on, just an herbivore.

Speaker 7 (22:01):
Three benefits to Florida freeze right, yeah, you kill the mosquitos,
you sweeten the fruit, and you you temporarily freeze.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
When they thought. They come back a lot.

Speaker 6 (22:14):
And they're feisty, all right.

Speaker 5 (22:16):
And then finally, this is really cool and I did
check it out. So the Eminem's Halloween Rescue Squad is

(24:09):
Good laugh for the owner operator the Big Dog over

Speaker 4 (24:13):
Yeah, yells, friends, love it right, Well, thanks for having
me back on the show. I always love being here
and it's a whot. You're a man full of energy,
so I gotta try and keep up with.

Speaker 6 (24:23):
You for however, the time we got I gotta tell
you you don't even bother.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
You gave me one of the you know. The thing
is Jeff obviously is the purveyor of the greatest cigars
you can find in this area by a million, you
know close And of course if you go to his
website curnisigar dot com, all of that becomes open to
everybody listening to us throughout the nation, which is great. Right,
you have given me one of my most one of
my coolest life experiences. And I wonder if you remember what.

Speaker 4 (24:47):
It was, probably having a whiskey and a cigar. When
we did one that event that cars, cigars and cars
or something, well.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
We did one downtown and we did one in the
square there on Church Street, which was amazing. People still
ask to have that going in that It's the time
that makers Mark came into the store. When I was there,
we were I was there hanging out. We were just
talking about the plan, and your rep for Maker's Mark
came through, and what you were doing was is you
were building one of these proprietary bottles that only sells

(25:15):
with the Corona Cigar label. And she had this entire
case of all these samples. Eat sample represented a barrel
in the storage area. And I learned so much about
bourbon and that forty to fifty minute encounter that day,
and do you remember what you did for me?

Speaker 4 (25:30):
I do remember. So here's the thing that was early
on in our single barrel program because it was Maker's
Mark was one of the earlier adopters to it. And
I was if you ever want to do those again,
because you learned so much when these guys are talking
about all their different you know, different rick houses and
different floors and all the different flavor components would come

(25:51):
from different areas in the actual barrel houses. But anytime
you want to do that again, we'll let you pick
one out. We'll actually call it your pick if you
want over bring. I'm serious, that's serious about this. We'll
smoke cigars, will pair it up in my office while
we're smoking it, and literally I'll let you pick.

Speaker 6 (26:06):
One Jim Colbert's show Corona Cigar.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
I would have to, but you actually that day you
asked me my kid's birthdays, and I told you the
kid's birthdays, and you drew the barrel from that number
and blended and blended it right there. For me, it
was one of I tell that story more that I
tell most stories about my actual life, because it was
one of the coolest experiences I've never and that whiskey
is still one of my favorites. That's awesome. I don't

(26:30):
know if I can do the birthdays again. No, no, no,
I'm not joking with.

Speaker 4 (26:33):
You, but I think seriously, if if you want to
do that and have your own pick, we can do that. Ye,
let me know.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
I would love to. And again, our relationship goes back
quite a while. We've done each other for a long time,
and I was just telling you when you came in,
I was like, man, you've given me so many killer
experiences like the one that we're featuring this week. The
cigar we're featuring this week, I've never had before, and
I open it up this morning, I snipped it and
I've go out on my back patio. I got my phone,
I got my cup, of coffee, which is one of
my favorite things to enjoy with a cigar, by the way,

(27:00):
literally one of my favorite things. And I go back
there and I take one draw, and I was like, God,
he does it every single time. I catch so much
crap for my listeners like that you never don't like
a cigar. Well, he never gives me a bad cigar.

Speaker 13 (27:11):
You know what.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
We try to make sure we don't bring in brands
that are if they're not good, because we smoke everything right, right,
so if it's not good, it's not going to come
in the store because you know, people walking across a
cigar there happened. There be so many cigars, there's like
thousands of them. I said, that's just the ones we carry.
There's a ton that we say no, right, you know,
there's like a million other brands out there, but if
they're not good, we're not going to carry.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Yeah, yeah, and then clear something else as well. We
talk about Cuban pre embargo cigars and stuff, and I
know that you had those, and I got ragged on
the other day, so I said, well, you know, tell
me about the embargo stuff. I go, well, you know,
the embargo was in what year.

Speaker 4 (27:41):
Sixty one is when I believe the products were not
brought back in the country. But there's there's a long
history on this stuff. When it comes to pre embargo cigars,
we could do like an hour show on this really,
but there's believe it or not. It was actually two
embargos to Cuban tobacco. The first one was during the
Spanish American War because we had a blockad aid on
Havana Harbor when they blew up the USS main and

(28:04):
then uh Ebor City was getting almost all of its
tobacco from Havana, so we actually had a first embargo
back then. Then you had the one when Kennedy was
the president. So you know, it's there's so much history
involved in that, it really is.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
And the fact that you can even have those in stock,
and you do have those occasionally and tell yeah, it's
I mean really amazing that. No, it is is that
they have a special case and I go up there
and stand in front of it sometimes I'm like, I
just want to smell Can I just smell it?

Speaker 4 (28:33):
And you know what, they keep getting more expensive because
there's a global market on that, you know, the number
one market where they like to buy them is in China.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Is it really Absolutely, It's like a status symbol.

Speaker 4 (28:42):
Yeah. And listen, there's more billionaires in China than anywhere else. Yeah,
so they the market price on those keep like the
prembarber Keeping stacartion we have most of the time. The
replacement value on that is, it costs more for the
replacement value than we're actually selling them for. Gone up
a lot.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Wow, amazing. Uhd't by the way.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
For listeners, because they're not they don't. We have some
pre Bargo Cuban cigars, like especially could Dave it off
the Don Perryana stuff that's actually a Cuban davlof after
them Bargo. But they're like a cigar like that used
to be nine hundred dollars for one now yeah, that's
what I'm saying. Now almost two thousand dollars a single cigar.

Speaker 6 (29:19):
Well, you don't even smoke that. Yeah, I'm just saying
you're two thousand dollars.

Speaker 4 (29:25):
That's what I'm saying. That that a lot of the
prices have gotten crazy. And by the way, just Cuban
cigars in general, since that whole Chinese market is where
most of them are going. Let's say like like a
Cuban Cohema that used to be around seventy five eighty
dollars is now approaching two three hundred for one. So
the price of these cigars have gone up tremendously.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Every time somebody going out from the Islands and they say, hey,
I've got some Cuban joanna to come and rab and
I said, you don't have a bay. Yeah, you don't
have a.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
Cuban buttery beat rolls or whatever.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
You don't have a Cuban. Yeah, because if you paid
one hundred and twenty dollars for five Cubans, you don't
have Cuban.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
Unless they go to constant Harmonos store, which is and
even then you gotta be careful because the prices are
so high on these things that that even then you
can get a fake get fake ones out of a
legitimate store. But yeah, yeah, you know. But if you
go to a duty free in the airports, that are
the harmonous ones. Those are those are legit. But I'm
just telling you, people are sticker shock how expensive.

Speaker 6 (30:18):
I have no idea.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Oh yeah, it's ridiculous and it's been that way for
a while. And yeah, I do want to make the
move over to the FSG thing, because I think one
of the unique things about about the Corona is that
you guys actually have like not just skinning the game
as stocking and selling cigars, you actually produce tobacco, which
is so ballsy in Florida. I mean, obviously right here

(30:40):
the Carolinas are known for their tobacco. Of course that's
where it was grown. This I've not heard that this
is a really conducive environment nor soil for growing tobacco.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
But you did it.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
And that when we say FSG, that's Florida sun grown
right there in Claremont, Florida.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
So what here's what's interesting. Corona cigars that like a
farm to the table, a true farm the table concept,
where grow the tobacco at the farm, we make cigars
and they're sold to the in the stores. But there's
a there's three hundred hands that touches tobacco from the
time we start till the time you get in it
in your hand. So it's a long drawn out process.
It takes many, many years. But Florida was actually the

(31:16):
second largest UH cigar tobacco growing state in America after Connecticut.
So this was I didn't reinvent this, this was a
big thing that was going on from before the Civil
War up until at nineteen seventy seven was the last
crop that was grown, and it was primarily grown up
in the Tallahassee area. There's a there's a Gadson County
and there's a town if you keep going up twenty

(31:37):
seven past Tallahassee, and it's called Havannah.

Speaker 5 (31:40):
Yeah, right, you ever know Simmers used to call it, right,
what else? There's no Cubans there, That's why they call
it Cayvana.

Speaker 4 (31:50):
No, I'll tell you why they So there used to
be an import duty on cigar tobacco, and so what
the guys in Florida got wise, They're like, this is
in the eighteen Hunters, by the way. So they incorporated
that town the city of Havana, you know, because when
they sold the tobacco to the factories up in Pennsylvania,
North Yeah, and then they charged a premium price even

(32:13):
though it was growing in Florida. That's what I'm saying.
When you go to Havana, you're not going to see
a Cuban restaurant selling you know, many and no chase
and stuff. And it happened. So it's and the other thing.
There's another town further west called Sumatra, which was the
second country that imported to tobacco was imported and it
was all done so it could be shipped up north,
saying it was from Sulacha, Havana and it was out

(32:35):
of Florida.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
So well, is it aren't? Aren't Premium cigars and premium
wines two of the most counterfeited products in America.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
I would say Cuban cigars for sure. I don't know
much about the faked wine. But there was a problem
too going on with There was some old Scotches too. Yeah,
they remember you're ready because that wine guy. There was
some old stuff sold at auction, right like Christie's auction.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Right toes that were supposed to be like ten k
a bottle or something. It was like a one point
eight million dollars deal or something. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:05):
And there was also a single malt Scotch old one
that that got.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Ripped off really like on a calland or something like.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
It was in a glass blown mccount and I think
it was called eighteen forty one because there was was
in like a purple bottle and it was hand blown,
had the bubbles in it and all that stuff. That's
one that got counterfitted and then they and the unfortunately
it's sold right, Yeah, dude, it turned out this wasn't
legit crazy anyway.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
So, as a guy who owns a cigar store, obviously
I know that when you go into a corona, all
of the employees are usually chugging on a smoke of
some sorry, they're all walking around the cigar.

Speaker 14 (33:36):
They love it.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
So like when you pick up I mean, if I
were to look at you, I would be like, Okay,
this gentleman has smoked like so many different like variations
of cigars. And the cool thing is is you guys
work with like drew a State to create you know,
and David Off to create cigars. Come with them for you. Yes,
Like when you pick up a cigar, what do you
look for in a smoke? Is that a mood thing
for you? Or is it always the same kind of

(33:59):
You want something strong? Medium? Light?

Speaker 4 (34:01):
Well there's two things. So if we're looking at it,
like for what for the consumer base? Right, you want
to make sure you filled each area, because you got
people want mild cigars, medium cigars, and strong cigars. Now,
on a personal level, I don't smoke strong cigars, but
we have guys that smoke them, right, So we have
blends that are intentionally made for those people that want
a full bodied, strong cigar. But like I say, personally,

(34:21):
I like mile to medium cigars. But it all depends.
It's like when we're talking like the single barrel picks too,
single barrel bourbons are kind of the same way. We
got somebody want a little sweeter, a little more carmel
and vanilla, and then we people that like, I'm a
little hotter and a little higher in the rise. So
it said that when you come into the store, That's
what I say. When you walk in and there's a
thousand different cigars, because people have never had cigars, they're like,

(34:43):
how do you have a thousand different brands in France?
And they're all made out of tobacco, And that's like yeah,
because they're all from different parts of the world. There's
different parts of the plants, there's different seed varieties, the
different and everything, right, and so then our staff are
instructed just simply ask what are you doing for? You
want something mild, mean, you're strong, and from there we
can we can. That really puts out the direction that

(35:04):
we go north south east west. Then we get you
in the right area. And I'm the same as you.
I like mild or medium cigars. I actually talked about
it last week when we did the INTENSA. I'm like, look, man, if.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
You're a strong little yeah, I'm like, like, when you
like one of these things up, understand you're going to
punch you in the face. Yes, your about Hence is
a good name, all right.

Speaker 4 (35:21):
We tried to tell them by the name right.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Well, when you lift the box up and you see them,
they're all dark as sin, and you know, light in
one of those things. It takes about two puffs to understand,
and you better be ready for it because it is
a full blown experience.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
And by the way, that's got tobacco from our farm.
So what's interesting is that you can take It's all
on how we blend it. We can take tobacco from
our farm, and then we can blend it with other
tobaccos where we can have a mild blend, meetingum or
full body. It all depends on what goes in it.
And people that don't smoke cigars, the best way to
understand this, it's like, let's say you had a big
foot long sub right, and you can depend the outer

(35:55):
tobacco would be the bread, and then what goes inside
it could be the roast beef. You can put hammyt
turn your check in or whatever. And with type of
cheese you got salama, and you know there's a you
can probably create fifty different sums by the ingredients rector
I am. So making a cigar is somewhat similar. We
got all these different varieties of tobacco, except there's a
lot more than fifty choices of it. And that's how
you come up with the different blends where we want

(36:16):
it mild meaning or strong. And when you're working with tobacco,
you know it's you know what tobacco strong? You know
which one's what isn't right, And we work with here's
the key. We work with the best factories in the world, right,
and then each factory. The way this works is the
guys that actually blend the cigars are more like a
master chef. So imagine a factory being this amazing restaurant

(36:37):
and then they have these amazing ingredients. But every factory
has a different backstock of what ingredients do they work with.
So when we give them FSG to work with we
let that chef. It's like, hey man, that's that's we
supplied the lobster that you're gonna job with whatever in
your dish. And so that's how it comes about.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
And you know in one of the cigars we pushed
for a while and you've just had a new variation
come out as the Army of Angels. Angel Benitez, who
is the GM one of the greatest students. If you
ever go there, please go to the downtown one. And
is he still downtown? He bounces between all of them,
but you get the medium, you'll understand. And that's exactly
what that is. I mean we talk about Jeff gave
him fs, she gave him some other stuff. He created
a beautiful blend. And I have to tell you that

(37:16):
is right on the edge of where I go. What's
that new one though? The blue label?

Speaker 4 (37:19):
What is that the that's the Connecticut the Connecticut shade, right,
So that's awesome, made in the same factory where the
intensa is right. And that's a good example how you
can take different rappers where the lighter rapper the darker
rappers to get Maduro's Connecticut shade and different fillers, and
we can we can make a cigar that can be mild, medium,
or strung even out of the same factors. By again,
it's like if you had a sub right, Let's see

(37:40):
he had rye bread, a white bread, and a wheat bread. Right,
they're all different flavors, right, absolutely, So there's a million
different combos that we come up with.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Yeah, and the good thing is one of the things
we sell as much as the cigars. Here is the experience, said,
going one of the lounges, I never say store, by
the way, it is so much more than that. I'm like, yeah,
they sell, they sell cigars, no question. They tell everything
you need for a cigar. They'll sell you some of
the best whiskeys and bourbons and scotches and wines, and
they'll get you something nice from tequila. All of those

(38:08):
things they'll do for you. But really the idea is
to come in there and just chill out, relax and
really enjoy a couple of hours without anything else on
your mind, rather than just having a great smoke. And
your people do such a fantastic job at directing people
into something they'll be comfortable with, and that's really that's
an attribution to you, my man. Because you've hired the
right people.

Speaker 4 (38:27):
We try and and the thing is too that a
lot of you know, if people aren't out a cigar
it's you hear the word experience a lot. And it
is an experience because you're you're you're you're enjoying a
great cigar, you got your your whatever you're pairing it with.
But then normally what happens is there's camaraderie involved. There's
people they're gonna meet, You're gonna talk to you, you're
gonna have you know whatever. And that's one of the

(38:49):
things that I always say that the cigar store is
the environment with the lost art of communication and discussion
and talking, right, because even the coffee shops, people are
just looking at their phone and sure they don't talk
to each other. And a lot of times people think
you're weirdo if you talk to somebody, and it's like
in a cigar shop, it is normal. You know, Hey,

(39:09):
what's going on?

Speaker 2 (39:10):
It is our talking, right, that's sand Lake Store, dude.
If you ever pull up that sand Lake Store, there's
gonna be a crowd out front on that sidewalk, and
it's gonna be a loud conversation and they're not afraid
they get in there. The last of time was normal.
Last time I rolled up there, there was a path
about eight dudes out there and they were having a
lively conversation. But that's normal.

Speaker 4 (39:27):
We can have you know, people can talk about whatever
and whatever. So that's the thing. It actually builds social skills.
You'll be surprised how many times younger people have come
to the store and they came out of their shell
because they'll end up sitting next to somebody that's you know,
sixty seven years old and owns some big business or whatever,
and it's like wow, you know, they were kind of
nervous or intimidating talking to like different generational people or

(39:50):
different uh you know, wealth classes or whatever. And it's
and it's really I see it as as it's like
a building of us, almost like a social experience experiment
where it's like, this is something cool that can't be
taught in too many college classes.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
It used to be what we did.

Speaker 5 (40:08):
It's so weird now to see a group of teenagers
hanging out and nobody is talking to each other.

Speaker 4 (40:12):
Yeah, because what happens is there they they have courage
to talk to each other through a text or something. Yep,
but they get nervous if they have to face to
say something to each other. And it's like, wow, that's weird.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
Right.

Speaker 5 (40:22):
They even talk about like that eye contact thing with
the Zoomer generation. Go to Corona Cigar Company and you'll
feel all.

Speaker 8 (40:29):
Of that fix that.

Speaker 15 (40:30):
Well.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
The interesting thing, you know, I started playing golf because
my dad told me it was great for business. And
my dad was one thousand percent right. Didn't tell me
how addictive it was and how it's gonna do. And
I would think that coming to one of the lounges
and hanging out there and starting conversations, you never know
who you're gonna have a conversation with. And cigars are
a language that certain people understand, and you could get
yourself into a really interesting business scenario if you just

(40:52):
knew a few things, and you could learn that any
one of these lounges.

Speaker 4 (40:55):
And that's this is not something new. That's why they
always talked about, you know, the smoke filled rooms in
politics or whatever in business because and actually you go
back further, what were they doing on They're with the
Indians with a peace pipe? It did that for a reason.
Shut out, let's put the axes and guns away. Let's
talk about this right right, right?

Speaker 2 (41:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (41:13):
And so anyway, so I don't think this is this,
this culture of that is ever gonna go away because
it's a human it's a human element.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
I hope not, dude, because I have to tell you,
this is one of the best relationships we have. I
love I love endorsing the company. I love endorsing companies
and people like you. So I really do appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (41:32):
Jeff, how many times I wanted to tell you about this.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
I brought you a gift' what you can you hang
on the first second? Right, we're up against the break, right,
and we have another segment on the other side. I'll
tell you what. Give me two minutes? Yeah, go ahead,
two minutes, go ahead, fire away, all right, we got
two minutes listen.

Speaker 4 (41:47):
So I was thinking, I'm like, man, what has he
had at that that?

Speaker 2 (41:51):
What do I have that Jim.

Speaker 4 (41:53):
Hasn't smoked yet? And then that's why when I walked here, like, yeah,
I haven't seen that box before, I'm like, cool, I
think I got some here. Right, So this is the
Diamond Crown, Tampa. Let me tell you a little story, right,
So this has FSG filler in it. But this has
the longest journey on any of our tobacco that comes
out of our farm. So the farm is in Claremont, Florida.
From there, when we after we harvest it, it gets

(42:15):
exported to Nicaragua where it goes through the fermentation, the sorting,
and the aging. From there, some tobacco comes back to
Tampa to make the brand called the American.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
And I'm sure you smile. Have the box of the
house so.

Speaker 4 (42:27):
When you're at when you're in Ebor City, the only
cigar factory that's left there and it says home a
Questory Cigars. That's the Jason Newman factory. They make the American.
They use our.

Speaker 8 (42:36):
Wrapper on it. Well.

Speaker 4 (42:38):
They're also the distributors for our Tuo Funte cigars in
the United States, and they have the Diamond Crown brand
which is sold are made in the front factory. So
we have a Diamond Crown lounge in Tampa. They said, man,
we'd like to make a cigar. We'll send them money there,
send the tobacco to Carlito and the Dominican Republic. We'll

(42:58):
make a diamond crowns called I'm and Crown Tampa and
it's got Florida sun grown in it.

Speaker 8 (43:03):
Now.

Speaker 4 (43:03):
Tampa used to use a lot of Florida tobacco back
when it was grown. So this is pretty cool to
have a cigar that that pays homage to the city
of Tampa. It's from the Jason and Cigar Company, which
is the oldest cigar company, and it's out of Tampa,
and it's got tobacco from our farm. So I brought
you some of those. Listen, it's sit in the full boxes.
I already been smoking it.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
I get it here, I don't care. I'm smoking one
on the way at home, all right. Right, it's so
good I couldn't give him all.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
So anyway, there you go. All right, Well, Jeff, I
cannot begin to thank you enough for coming across town

Speaker 14 (45:04):
Duh Yankees lose.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Believe this guy? Yeah, yeah, did you see that? What
he's talking about? Is it vad Grera? And was it
a big poppy? Were on and it and they had
Jeter and Alex on either side and they were just
going crazy. It was very funny. Yeah, I missed that one.

Speaker 7 (45:25):
Yeah, over the interview after that last out usually i've
been you know, I'm out.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
And then the was it last night? The error that
caused the Dodgers allowed the Dodgers to get in? How crazy?

Speaker 16 (45:36):
Was that?

Speaker 8 (45:38):
Crazy?

Speaker 2 (45:38):
Unbelievable? Uh, what's the what's the weather like in Toronto
right now?

Speaker 8 (45:42):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (45:42):
It's nice.

Speaker 12 (45:43):
So last night last night we went out to this
little fall festival. It was forty four degree? Oh my god,
yeah it was. It was chilly at night. But today
I think it's up to sixty or something like that.
It's very nice.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
Yeah, very nice, very very seasonal up there. Very Fias
is the restaurant critic for The Orlando Weekly. He called
us every Friday around this time to go over some
things happening in Orlando for the great food scene that
we have here. I don't know if you know Orlando culinarily,
that's not even a word has really uh find good
client of the latter. One of the premier areas on
the East Coast. Some people say the best on the

(46:15):
East Coast for a really good diverse meal, and that
includes your James Beard and Michigan Michieglan, the World Award winners.
So what do we have out there this week, buddy?
Where is the review?

Speaker 12 (46:27):
Yeah, speaking of diversity, it's a place called the Cairo
Express and it is a it is a food truck
specializing obviously in Egyptian cuisine and it's run by a
lady by the name of Gigi elger Bowi. And Gigi
used to be a cook at Makani, which was Orlando's
only Egyptian restaurant before it closed last year. So Gigi

(46:50):
runs this food truck on the corner of Lee and
Wymore Roads in winter Park. It's it's next to a
salon called Salon Sizzo and it's right behind the Chevron.

Speaker 14 (47:00):
And so just to give people and ideas exactly where
it is.

Speaker 12 (47:03):
But the Chiro Express, you know, they'll they'll have the
gamut of Middle Eastern fair and obviously shiwarma is offered.
It's you know, it's got a very strong familiarity amongst
most people, and you know, it's arguably one of the most.

Speaker 14 (47:15):
Middle Eastern of foods.

Speaker 12 (47:17):
But you know, I would encourage people who do pop
by the Cairo Express to try Egypt's national dish, which
is called koshari and kochhari. It's it's a veget it's
a vegetarian dish. It's I think it's vegan friendly and
koshari it's like a mix. It's a heaping bowl of
black lentils, chickpeas, rice, macaroni, vermicelli.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
It's very hard heavy.

Speaker 12 (47:39):
There's like a tangy tomato sauce in there. There's fried onions.
There's something called shata, which is a which is like
a pepper sauce essentially, it's a homemade pepper sauce that
Gigi makes from cayenne peppers. And it is outstanding. Like
the first time I had it was actually in Cairo.
It's street food, and I had it in Cairo, I
don't know, like thirty years ago when I was there

(47:59):
and it and it took me back, you know, it
it transported me as like a good dish will, you know,
back to a you know, a specific food memory. But
Beyond that, there's other dishes there called there's one called Hawaishi,
which I would liken too like a casadia there. It's
it's charred peeda wedges that are stuck with the very
finely seasoned ground beef. And I thoroughly enjoyed dipping into

(48:22):
the Baba ganoosh, which she is, and I think she
makes one of the best baba gnusies because it's rustic
and a little chunkier and smoky, and it it really
is if you just want to just just with the
Baba goanosh stopped by disboot try and for people that's.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
Basically a smoked eggplant dip kind of thing, and a
Turkish restaurants have it as well. And I will tell
you I believe that's one of those things we talk
about this with red sauce on Italians. I think that's
one of those almost like game changers or game deciders
for people who make this kind of food. If you're
Baba Gonosha is good, you can pretty much bet that
everything else in the menu is going to be pretty
darn good as well.

Speaker 12 (48:55):
Yes, that's that's that's I think that's very very accurate.
There's another this there called mumbar, and mumbar is a
type of sausage. It's a beef casing, but it's it's
filled with like this tomatoe rice mixture, so it's not
necessary to fill with beef. It's filled with rice, but
it's in this beef casing and it's got that snap,
crackle and pop.

Speaker 14 (49:14):
We absolutely loved it.

Speaker 12 (49:16):
She she makes great beleaves and she's using she uses
gleaves that she picks from her garden to make these things.
So it's all very hand fashion, you know, authentic quote unquote.

Speaker 14 (49:26):
You know, it's I highly highly recommend it.

Speaker 12 (49:29):
A lot of people that are really into food in
this city, you know, are like flocking to this truck.
Very popular amongst like you know, the food cognocente in town,
you know. And again it's right on the corner of
why More and Lee Rhods. It's behind the chevron next
to a salon called Salon Sizzo.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
Which is right thereby I four. So it's super easy
to find for sure. Yeah, yes, you say here in
your notes all kinds of coffee news, okay, all kinds
of really quicking.

Speaker 12 (49:54):
So Austin's Coffee it's been there an institution there for
almost like I think twenty years, maybe eighteen years something
like that.

Speaker 14 (50:00):
They're in winter Park.

Speaker 12 (50:01):
So they are going to close October twenty fifth, but
they're going to be reopening down the road, still on Fairbanks,
but closer to the I four, and there's a new
ownership group.

Speaker 14 (50:12):
There's four new owners.

Speaker 12 (50:15):
All of whom I believe were former customers, one of
whom used to be an owner of La Kuma Coffee
there in Longwood, which is now Roasto Coffee of Bar,
one of Jack's favorite.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
Which is also very good. Their pacage were awesome, by
the way.

Speaker 14 (50:29):
Yeah, so now so Austin's the guy.

Speaker 12 (50:31):
I mean.

Speaker 14 (50:31):
The new owners are planning on reopening November first.

Speaker 12 (50:34):
That may be a little ambitious, but yeah, they're going
to close the current location October twenty fifth and reopen
November one. They haven't stated specifically what the location is.
They've only said it's going to be on Fairbanks, east
of IY four. I have a couple of hunches that's
to where it might be. There's one there's a building
right across the street from E Tennis. I think there

(50:56):
used to be a place called Beefy Brazilian Pie Company.
Or something there. It's not there anymore, and it's a
sizable space, so maybe it's going in there. I'm not
one hundred percent sure, but look for that to open
November first. And then over at Digress Wine in College Park,
there's a new food truck. They're called Zane and Company
and it's and they specialize in coffee. They have coffees,

(51:19):
they have teas, they have Arabic baked goods, pastries of
you know, Arabic origin.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
They have fresh juices there as well.

Speaker 12 (51:28):
They have things like you know, pistachio lattes and TV
lattes and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
So they're open.

Speaker 12 (51:33):
They've opened there in the Digress Wine parking lot. They'll
be there on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from seven am
until they close. And then lastly, over in Ivanhoe Village,
a Mexican inspired coffee bar called Aguila Coffee has opened
a twelve fifteen North Orange Avenue, and they'll introduce ingredients
like you know, topo chico and guahio peppers and a

(51:55):
guaba puree and panela which is like this unrefined sugar.
They'll introduce those sorts of things into their coffee. So
if you're into coffee, lots of coffee, new coffee joints.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
Yeah, and go back to Austin's real quick. That was
also kind of a cultural center point of that area
as well. A lot of like bands, and they would
have a lot of poetry readings, and it was like
one of the hippiest places in all of Orlando for
a lot of the people who are in the art
scene would go there and chill out and stuff and
you could see like some really interesting shows or hear
some interesting musicians all throughout there. When they when they

(52:27):
announced it was closing, I was absolutely flabbering acid because
that place has really become like a cultural epicenter of
that part of town. So I'm glad it's being saved
and that can continue on.

Speaker 14 (52:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (52:38):
Yeah, and I think we all have a story at
Austin Sure, my kids out an It's an institution. I
think that's why it's made so much news. If it
was any other coffee bar, maybe not as much buzz
and news around it. But yeah, Austin's is one of
those special places that you know, that's that a lot
of people are fond of because they have so many
memories memories from from having coffees there.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
Talking to Faiascara from The Orlando Weekly for a primetime kitchen.
He calls every Friday talking about things that are happening
in Orlando where you can eat and drink. Let's talk
about batty Bird pop up. What does a batty Bird
pop up? Oh, batty Bird.

Speaker 12 (53:10):
So, batty Bird is a pop up by Top Chef
season three winner chef Hung Win and Hung. You know so,
batty Bird specializes in Zeshwan chicken wings, Uhhwan chicken tenders,
swan sandwiches. It's just chicken and it's going to pop
up tomorrow. So I believe this is the second pop

(53:31):
up of batty Bird. It's going to be tomorrow outside
of Mills Market between I think five and eight pm,
So be sure to pop by because I haven't tried these,
you know, his his chicken yet, but I've heard it's
outstanding so and and you know it's it's probably expected
from a Top Chef winner, you know. So batty Bird
at Mills Market tomorrow from five to eight pm.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
Very cool. And I'm not going to kidnap you this
week because again we're short on time and I don't
feel like today.

Speaker 12 (53:57):
No yeah, he doesn't, but we had such a maybe
maybe Jack wants the kidnapped.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
Jack on a paddle board somewhere. I'm coming up there, buddy,
all right, looking for you. Yeah. Uh So here's the thing,
you know, every time we talk about certain stuff, I
mean you, we want to find the best, you know,
I know the old school spots that are supposed to
be the best of this. But I don't know of
any new blood in this game. Where can I go
to get a good taco around Orlando? Oh, good taco

(54:27):
And we know about Black Roaster and we know about
the Hunger Street. Those are like two of the ogs
in town.

Speaker 16 (54:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (54:32):
Yeah, And you know there are so many good taco places.
I like a place called Kisa Loco, which is on
on Fairbanks. It's this one is west of of the
I four and there they have really good berrier. They
have really good tacos, and they have amazing aguas frescas
there too. Francisco's Taco Madness up there in Castlebury. It's

(54:54):
a food truck and he I think he does some
of the best tacos. And if you want something different,
like a Sonoran style taco, which is like a flower taco,
you can go to Taco cattowntown.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
My god, can I ask you a question while you're thinking? Okay,
So when we eat tacos as Americans, and we would
get the old l Paso thing and come home and
you'd have taco night at the house, it was always
hard shell tacos. Like even when you go to Tea
Wanta Flats, right, you know, you can have the choice,
but I always get the hard shell tacos because I
like that crunch as well. But when I go to
really nice taco places, it's always the corn tortillas and

(55:33):
they're always, you know, especially if you go to Joe
Creech's place over to Hunger Street, you're gonna get that
corn straight from Mexico, that real special corn. That tortillas
are fantastic. But can you get a hard shell taco
in an upper level Taco plus anymore? Or is that passe?

Speaker 13 (55:47):
No?

Speaker 12 (55:47):
I don't know if it's passe. I don't think it's
you know, fair to denigrate, you know, the hard shell taco.
You know, it may be more of an American style adventures,
but in Gorditas and things like that, you will have
a crispy ellm into their to your you know, to
your handheld. So but you're right, you know, when you
go to these sort of boutique type tak aias, getting

(56:08):
getting a hard shell taco is probably probably going to
be very very difficult.

Speaker 5 (56:14):
Yeah, kind of like asking for Heinz fifty seven for
your stay ketchup even worse.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
They should consider it. They should consider it. Vias should
go with you.

Speaker 12 (56:23):
I like texture, I I I you know, and if
I make tacos at home, you know my wife loves
the hard shell tacos, I'm fine, great, I'll go get
like a good quality hard shell corn corn taco.

Speaker 2 (56:33):
And I'll and I'll do them. I like, I don't
mind them at all.

Speaker 6 (56:36):
So my favorite.

Speaker 12 (56:37):
I think it's important to have a very sort of
liberal palette when it comes to these things and not like,
you know, focus on the nitty gritty and be so
you know, uptight about.

Speaker 14 (56:45):
The shazza pizza or bagels or whatever.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
You know, just have an open palate. We just gotta tech.
We just got a text and said that taco place
on Fairbanks is really good and said in that same plaza,
there's an amazing Mediterranean deli in that same plaza.

Speaker 12 (56:58):
Yeah, it's it's actually called Mettertrane Delhi and the guy's
Lebanese and he's been doing it forever, I think almost
thirty years now.

Speaker 14 (57:04):
Really nice guy. His name escapes me, uh anyway, but yeah,
I'm just called.

Speaker 2 (57:08):
Meta Training Delhi. Really good Shawarma, Yeah, very nice. Well,

Speaker 9 (59:05):
Aloha Helloa brought Austin's Coffee Shops a really interesting place.
You have a guy in a thousand dollars suit sitting
at a mismatched table and chair set that looks like
it came from three different garage sales in a building
with no floor, next to another guy who has tattoos
and piercings and ripped jeans and Doc Martin's and they're
both enjoying coffee while talking about the Wu Tang song

(59:27):
playing on the speakers.

Speaker 8 (59:28):
Yeah, uncle Tony here, Hey, I wanted to say.

Speaker 18 (59:32):
One of my favorite hardshell Tacos, and it's always good,
never broken, it never breaks to the last bite. Either
is a place that rhymes with rig Maco over in
Castleberry and they are big and crunchy the whole way through.
They don't break fresh ingredients.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
And you can say big taco. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 19 (59:57):
I know you guys don't hear the commercials on streaming,
but you know they run him ad Nausia and there's
one for a prescription drug and it starts off with
a breaking window and every time I hear it, I
think it's gonna be billy Joel.

Speaker 11 (01:00:11):
You may be right?

Speaker 14 (01:00:12):
Is that how it starts off with a shattering window
and then it's a commercial?

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
Oh well, oh well, funny. Welcome back to the Jim
Culbert Show, Real Radio one on four point one. Cash
is your four o'clock keyword c A s H. Slide
over to a real radio down of him and send
that away for your chance at a thousand bucks. Guys, cash,
that'll do it. That is your four o'clock heyword, good luck.

(01:00:39):
I'm Jim, there's deb Hello. Jack is here as well.
Hell yeah, a little bit behind schedule, and obviously the
schedule is gonna change a little bit.

Speaker 8 (01:00:45):
Toda.

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
Jeff Borsman's coming in. That's the only time we had
really able to schedule Jeff, and it's absolutely wonderful.

Speaker 8 (01:00:51):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
Uh, just a great guy. One of the main reasons
I love endorsing Corona Cigars because that's the guy who
owns it. He's just a good dude. You really wants
the best for every one of his customers. You could
hear it throughout the interview. There's a pride there that
really just bounces off of him, onto everything that he
does that I love and he's been with us since
the start of this year, really has. Yeah, he certainly has.

(01:01:13):
So love Jeff. And we'll do the whole cigar thing
at four forty five when we do a sinker sale
as well. Okay, yeah, because more cigar stuff. Well, I
didn't get a chance to do the entire thing. I
got to at least tell you what the thing is.

Speaker 16 (01:01:25):
What sure?

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
Oh and by the way, our question of the day
is a good one today, and we want you to
get over to our Instagram page and our what else jack?
It's on YouTube on YouTube right, yeah, and it is
would you travel or leave the country to get medical
care to save money? And I have to tell you
when I just made that statement at the beginning of
the show, the texting service filled up with people everything

(01:01:48):
from like I can't afford to get an elbow MRI
in the US because the deductible alone is nine hundred
and fifty dollars to people saying because I mentioned tooth stuff,
you know, get some toothwork, teeth work or toothwork its teeth. Yeah,
there you go, dentistry, there you go. Thank you appreciate
that you got And the guy says, I got mine done.
On Lakeland. It was forty thousand dollars. That's a car.

(01:02:11):
And then another person right right after that said mine
was thirty five thousand.

Speaker 6 (01:02:15):
And insurance wouldn't cover it because it was cosmetic.

Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
Right, exactly, it's cosmetic. That's the problem with it. Right now,
another dentist tech did text in and say, hey, look,
if you do go down to Costa Rica or Brazil
or whatever and you get this work, and there are
problems that a lot of dentists in America will not
work on that, you'll actually have to revisit that country.
I cannot believe that. But because what if you lived
there and you moved here? Yeah, come on, that's stupid, right,

(01:02:41):
I mean, I guess maybe somebody would say it, but
I would think if you went clinics, But if you
lived in Costa Rica and you got dental work in
Costa Rica and then you moved to the US, Uh,
they're not going to make you fly back to Costa
Rica to get your dental work.

Speaker 5 (01:02:54):
Well, well, I mean that's current climate. It might be
the last of it. It would be a dental work,
is exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
It would. It would be to work as you all right,
seven seven zero three one that's how you text us again.
You can always call us at four oh seven nine
one six one four one. A lot of interesting stuff
happening today. So I love you know again, we talk
about this all the time. I love people who outthink
the problem. And we actually did a segment on this,

(01:03:20):
I think about three or four five months ago. And
maybe you guys will remember DC. That's uh Washington, d
C is going to arrest a CEO if his ride
share alternative doesn't shut down by today. And if you'll remember,
remember I said, why why is their uber or lyft?
It seems like you could create a platform, a very

(01:03:42):
simple piece of software that would allow people to just
find people that wanted rides and then they could keep
the thing. They could keep one hundred percent of that
money and basically just pay to use the software. That's
exactly what this is. Empower is the company, and basically
what it is. It's a ride share business in DC
that's just a network of people who have cars. There

(01:04:03):
is no Uber or lift or any of that stuff.
You don't call them first and have them send it over.
You use this Empower software and you lease it. Basically,
in other words, every time you get a ride. You
just pay the software company a little bit of money
and that's it. And it kind of sounds like Uber,
but it's not, because the driver keeps one hundred percent
of the ride money.

Speaker 6 (01:04:21):
Oh wow.

Speaker 2 (01:04:22):
So let's say if I was gonna get a ride
it was going to cost thirty bucks. I pay a
flat fee to the software for a dollar, two dollars,
whatever the case may be, just to use the software,
maybe each month or whatever it is that fee, and
then I keep all of the money. I don't know
how the insurance works out on that, because I know
that if you have a car and you use it
commercially and you don't tell your insurance company you're doing that,

(01:04:43):
you could have some problems. But that's what they want
to try to shut this down. And it's funny to me.

Speaker 6 (01:04:47):
You say they do, you mean specifically Uber and Lyft.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
No DC and they who answered to lobbyists for exactly
They've been around since twenty twenty, and they quote promise
to disrupt the status quo by empowering drivers to work
for themselves, set their on own fares, and collect one
percent of the proceeds, paying in Power a flat monthly

(01:05:11):
rate to use its software. Which sounds like a great idea.
Matter of fact, I bet taxi companies thought this was
exactly the idea that Uber and Lyft had when they
fought ferociously here in Orlando to keep them away from
the airport. Remember when Mears did that Yep, mirrors right exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:05:27):
Well, not only this is interesting, so Lyft is also
pulling the plug on a test feature that allowed drivers
to check how often passengers tip before they would accept
you as a ride.

Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
Wow, right, yeah, Because here's the thing. If you don't
give them the ride, you get the bad review.

Speaker 6 (01:05:45):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:05:46):
And the thing is, I believe with Uber or Lyft,
I'm sure we have a bunch of people in the
audience that drive for them. But for Uber or Lyft,
I think you have to maintain a certain kind of
rating before or you'll lose your ability to drive for them. Right.

Speaker 5 (01:05:58):
Well, the right Share company recently began testing the feature
which showed some drivers how frequently writers tip and whether
they're generally ready at pickup. Because as a writer and
as a driver, you get a rating, right, so you
know a driver might go, oh, this person doesn't have
very good ratings and they've used the service for a
while I might skip this, but to depend that on
the tip giving the current circumstances, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (01:06:21):
It's like when you don't.

Speaker 5 (01:06:22):
Tip your door dash or your uber eats, be surprised
when your food.

Speaker 6 (01:06:26):
Arrives cold if it arrives.

Speaker 2 (01:06:27):
What about liability? That's the thing I ad that's the
question thing. That's exactly what I thought. Liability. It doesn't
really mention that in the article that I read here.
It doesn't really talk about the liability of the driver.

Speaker 7 (01:06:39):
This app allows two people to connect, strangers to connect,
to share a ride if something bad happens.

Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
Are they on the hook for allowing these people to connect? Yeah,
I don't know the answer to that. It does say
facilitating lower rates for drivers and riders. The company in
s face relentless bureaucratic opposition for years long legal battles
with the city, including numerous cease and desist orders and
tens of millions of dollars in fines. Empower's time in

(01:07:08):
the nation could be drawing to a close. So they've
been hitting them hard from every angle, you know, criminally
and with fines, and they've just kind of powered through.
But it looks like it could be over matter of fact,
they want the guy incarcerated, They want the CEO but
in jail.

Speaker 6 (01:07:25):
Anything to keep people from giving power to the people, right.

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
It seems, I mean, this is exactly the argument that
Mears had in Orlando when Uber came in town and
they found out that you could just call Bob and
he'd give you ride the airport for twenty five dollars
instead of calling Mers and have him charge.

Speaker 6 (01:07:41):
You sixty without the ability to pay with your phone.

Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
Right, and then have to deal with a check guy
who's had a very bad day, it says one driver
in attendance, a fifty seven year old retired engineer who
worked for Uber for eight years and Lift for four
years before subscribing to Empower a year ago, said that
he's satisfied driving for Empower because they give you one
hundred percent of the rider fair. Empower is way more

(01:08:05):
profitable for drivers. If you want to make one hundred
dollars with Uber, you have to make sixteen to eighteen trips.
With Empower, it's five to six.

Speaker 5 (01:08:12):
Somebody said Uber drivers get thirty percent, Yeah, thirty percent
of their fare.

Speaker 6 (01:08:18):
That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
And then Bonnie said, old folks shouldn't be driving just
that simple says, it's reasonable, the drivers are always wonderful,
and empower is a lifeline for people who don't own
a car and they can't afford to call Uber or
lyft at thirty or forty dollars a pop. I have
to tell you, I remember when Uber hit. I thought
it was like one of the greatest ideas ever.

Speaker 6 (01:08:39):
You could get a ride for five bucks.

Speaker 2 (01:08:41):
Yes, you could go from you could go. You could
take a ten mile ride and be fifteen dollars. So
like calling an uber to go downtown and then come
back so you could drink a little bit was completely economical. Now,
especially with surge pricing, you could get down there for twenty,
but you ain't getting home for less than sixty. And
that is a joke, especially when you can't predict what

(01:09:02):
the surge pricing will be, right. I don't know if
they tell you that in advance. I haven't used ubern forever.

Speaker 5 (01:09:06):
I haven't either, but I don't believe they do. I
think that's oh wow, look it's changed, But.

Speaker 2 (01:09:14):
It doesn't say anything about the liability. Jack and I
do believe that is the like that would be the
most important aspect of this for me, as I would
want to know if I got into an empowered car,
if I was going to you know, if something happened,
the guy had a heart attack or drove off a
bridge or something, do I have a chance of redeeming,
you know, some kind of monetary fulfillment.

Speaker 6 (01:09:33):
But I have a feeling that that's not the reason
they're coming down on them so hard.

Speaker 2 (01:09:37):
Yeah, I don't think it is.

Speaker 12 (01:09:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:09:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:09:40):
They also denied and Empower's private Sedan business application also
submitted in May, for not providing a representative sample of
its subscriber's insurance policies. So they even started basically shutting
down other business ideas that they have with the same
theory of a peer to peer process. But they couldn't
prove the insurance thing, and they use that as leverage
against them to kind of shut them down.

Speaker 6 (01:10:02):
Take it somewhere else and start it back up.

Speaker 2 (01:10:06):
Tens of millions of dollars in fines at the Megaya.

Speaker 3 (01:10:09):
It's not that easy.

Speaker 2 (01:10:10):
But here's the thing. If he created the software, he
could sell the software to somebody else, and Uber and
Lyft they would be the first one to buy it.
But you can met your ass I mean, obviously the
lobbyists for those companies do know what this to happen.

Speaker 5 (01:10:23):
Oh, and that's where they're like, Jack made the joke.
But you know there's uber and lyft lobbies in DC
just lose. The last thing they want is this empower
idea to get anywhere outside of DC.

Speaker 8 (01:10:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:10:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
Leading up to this, by the way, this rally that
they had trying to save the company, they launched a
mass email campaign on Saturday of last week and as
of Monday evening, just like two days out, it had
ten thousand emails and been sent to the mayor her
office and to keep in Power open. And really it
has nothing to do with people wanting cheaper rides. A

(01:10:55):
lot of what the story says, and it's really long,
by the way. What the story says is it's elderly
people who need to get back and forth to their
doctor's offices.

Speaker 6 (01:11:02):
And why shut that down?

Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
It's elderly people are people who just don't have the mean,
students who can't afford a car, single parents trying to
get to their jobs back and forth at a reasonable rate.
You know, my son at one point when his car
broke down, had to uber back and forth to work
and he was he's a server, and he's like, man,
this is killing me. You know, it's costing me sixty
bucks to get to work every day, and that literally
is half of what they make it in a shift,

(01:11:26):
or more if it's a slow day, right, exactly, So
you know you can't roll the dike. I mean you're
out sixty bones before you even walk into work, you know.
And that's a tip based scenario.

Speaker 6 (01:11:35):
And there's somebody who's on a fixed income.

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
Right, it would be a dream to be able to
have a ride. Luckily.

Speaker 5 (01:11:40):
So now instead of that, DC is going to make
them take a three or four hour bus trip or whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:11:45):
Yeah, they make it unbelievable. Four oh seven nine one
four one. Again, you can always text us at seven
seven zero three to one on top of tail and
al now calling causing issues with uh autism? Right, that's
the thing. Have you seen the latest on that?

Speaker 11 (01:12:02):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:12:03):
Okay, well when we come back, I'm gonna tell you
the latest thing that they say is causing autism.

Speaker 6 (01:12:08):
After sinker sale, oh yeah, we'll.

Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
Do that at five o'clock. We'll do singer sale numbers
only next.

Speaker 1 (01:12:13):
Get ready to text your vote for sink or sale
coming up next on the Jim Colbert Show.

Speaker 20 (01:12:33):
All right, speaking of reunions, Jim, you just reminded me
that my twentieth year is next year. Yes, I graduated
high school two thousand and six seven or high school.

Speaker 8 (01:12:43):
Go knows.

Speaker 20 (01:12:44):
My tenth year was actually legendary and it still talked
about to this day. We even got a handful of
famous people that graduated in my class.

Speaker 8 (01:12:52):
So come out and celebrate with us.

Speaker 20 (01:12:54):
Let's just say one is married to the Rock's nephew
and the other is a famous cup from So you
think you can dance?

Speaker 2 (01:13:02):
Oh cool, Okay, it's pretty Mom, just chiming in on
what you were talking about.

Speaker 20 (01:13:10):
Going to Berzille.

Speaker 16 (01:13:12):
I am planning ongoing down into.

Speaker 11 (01:13:15):
Mexico next month to get.

Speaker 19 (01:13:18):
About an hour away.

Speaker 21 (01:13:20):
So it is definitely a lot cheaper, and from what
I hear, it's pretty safe.

Speaker 2 (01:13:26):
We'll wait every day, take a part of that. Yeah,
she's in Arizona. Now, I know.

Speaker 7 (01:13:31):
Some listeners can be downtown and sound like they're in Arizona.
Some listeners can be in Arizona and sound like they're
downtown Orlando. Yeah, party mom in Arizona, sounds like she's
in Arizona. Yeah in a storm, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your
five o'clock keyword is grand, g R A and D.
Just slide over to real radio FM and send that

(01:13:53):
away from your chance on one thousand buck.

Speaker 2 (01:13:54):
Grand is the word. Guys, go over there and get
that case. While fighting a homeless man for control of
her phone, I'm jim, there's deb Hello, check is here
as well. I'm losing us. What that guy was mentioning earlier,
and actually party of my mentioned as well, was is
the idea of leaving the country to go get medical
care because of how much cheaper it is with dental

(01:14:14):
work in Costa Rica, Mexico and Brazil is what we've heard.
And the numbers are ridiculous. Like somebody texted and said
they spent forty thousand dollars on dental implants. Somebody also
text in a little bit later and said that surgery
would cost you ten to twelve in any of these
other places, and the surgery and care would be just

(01:14:35):
as good. A matter of fact, somebody said, it's a
tourist trip where you actually you booked to go down there,
they put you up at a resort. Yeah, it's medical
tourism because it's more than one day to do this.
So you go down there, you stand in the resort,
you go to the clinic every day until they're finished,
and then when you come home, you're again staying in
a nice resort. So a very interesting concept.

Speaker 5 (01:14:54):
Somebody also texted us at seven seven zero three one
and recommended talking to senior flight attendants because they would
senior attendance, because they would know the best places around
the world to get particular work done. I know someone
who had gone to Mexico for gastric bypass surgery, really
because again, insurance won't cover it here unless it's medically necessary.

(01:15:15):
I don't know too many people who can pay thirty
five thousand dollars out of pocket, including.

Speaker 2 (01:15:19):
You, right, So it's more vanity than any I'm just cheap.
I don't want to spend thirty five thousand dollars on
something I know that I can get elsewhere with a
five hundred dollars plane ticket. I mean, I'm not dumb.

Speaker 5 (01:15:29):
That's not cheap. That's just being smart. My mom's planning
to do the same thing. I know a lot of
people are doing it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:35):
It's amazing. I have to tell you. When I heard
the concept of this. I really kind of I like, man,
really people do that. I was kind of dumbfounded. I
didn't think it was true. And then I bring it
up on the texting. I bring it up in the textings.
Are were just absolutely milk up.

Speaker 5 (01:15:48):
I mean, there's a reason why I haven't gotten my
dental implant. Oh yeah, it's just it's like it's like
three thousand dollars, three to five thousand dollars too.

Speaker 6 (01:15:57):
I could use that on a car house payment.

Speaker 2 (01:16:00):
So crazy.

Speaker 7 (01:16:00):
It is looking at one hundred and ten countries based
on key factors such as healthcare infrastructure, the competencies of
healthcare professionals including doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers, annual
per capital healthcare costs in US dollars. What are the
top ten countries with the best healthcare? See how many

(01:16:21):
you can get on there? Top ten countries for healthcare
on those.

Speaker 2 (01:16:26):
Factors, I will tell you the United States is not
on that list? Is it really not?

Speaker 6 (01:16:33):
Because it's too cost prohibited?

Speaker 8 (01:16:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:16:34):
Yeah, yeah yeah. What were the factors again, Jack, give
me one more time.

Speaker 7 (01:16:37):
Sure healthcare infrastructure, the competencies of healthcare professionals, the annual
per capital healthcare costs in dollars average and quality of
medicine and government readiness to address health crises.

Speaker 2 (01:16:54):
Brazil is not on this list. Costa Rica negative.

Speaker 5 (01:17:00):
I'm thinking this is more for their their residents. Got
you psypologies, That's just what I'm assuming.

Speaker 6 (01:17:09):
So I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go Scandinavian.

Speaker 5 (01:17:11):
I'm gonna I'm gonna say Finland, Finland, Norway, Norway number nine, Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:17:17):
Finland, Nope, Sweden, Sweden, number five, Germany number eight, France No,
Canada number four.

Speaker 6 (01:17:29):
Wow, good choice.

Speaker 2 (01:17:30):
Mexico no, Mexico.

Speaker 6 (01:17:34):
Yeah, I won't even ask for Columbia, man, Spain No.

Speaker 7 (01:17:42):
So I'll get number ten is Israel. Then it goes Norway,
counting down Germany, Netherlands, Ireland, Sweden, Canada, Australia, South Korea
and number one Taiwan.

Speaker 2 (01:17:54):
Really wow wow? So I also looked up the T
shirts and teeth. They know how to do it.

Speaker 7 (01:18:05):
Yeah, that's healthcare for foreigners meaning traveling, and it comes
in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, France, Australia, Portugal, and Spain.

Speaker 2 (01:18:16):
Oh really, or are people traveling for healthcare? Somebody here said,
I'm in a dental tech for thirty five years. Be careful,
don't just go by reviews getting dental work done in
other countries South America, Central America. Dentists that come from
there are not qualified to be dentists here. They have
to go for more training. My stepdaughter went to Columbia
and got veneers and they looked terrible. She didn't tell
me she was going, and she had beautiful teeth. They

(01:18:36):
had no business giving her veneers. She's twenty three and
had perfect teeth. Well, she must have not thought it
was perfect. And if you're a dental tech, she didn't
go to you for advice. That's kind of wild.

Speaker 5 (01:18:46):
Yeah, but I mean, you know, with the good comes
the bad. So it's always really important to do massive
amounts of research. Case you remember, there was that case
of the women who drove the suv over the US
border to go get some cosmetic surgery. I ended up
driving into the wrong part of town and losing their
lives in the process.

Speaker 2 (01:19:04):
So we have a friend that's from Brazil. Tori has
a very good friend from Brazil, and she has it.
You know, she knows all the people and she's gone
back three or four times and they've done like I
mean really good work on her. So you know we
have a bit of a contact. Huh. Oh, she had
a beautiful smile, dude.

Speaker 5 (01:19:22):
Brazil is the number one country for cosmetic surgery. Is
my ex husband was born in Brazil, and that's the
one place in the world. Yeah, seriously where you could
literally have a baby on a tummy tuck almost in
the same day. No, seriously, it is such a it's
such a beach culture that that's.

Speaker 6 (01:19:41):
Where the Brazilian butt lift get you from.

Speaker 5 (01:19:44):
I mean they are I don't want to say vain,
but they live their lives on the beach.

Speaker 2 (01:19:50):
And let's face it, I mean it's not surgical, but
that bikini wax is a winner.

Speaker 5 (01:19:55):
It's because of their swimsuits the tonga, right, it's supposed
to look like a sale. I'm not talking about the
g string or the thong, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, no,
I mean they wear I have a couple of bikinis
from Brazil that I'll have to give away.

Speaker 6 (01:20:08):
I'll never be able to wear.

Speaker 2 (01:20:09):
Oh come on, no, no, no, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 6 (01:20:11):
I'm too vain. Well, I mean I'm too prude.

Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
Just wear them to work and we'll tell you which
one looks best. Come on, dad, just do it. One
for the team, Take one for the team. All right,
we're taking one for the team. We're giving you sage advice.
Two hot males, two hot dudes out there on the
on the game. We understand what looks good. Okay, we'll
gladly tell you. Okay, you had a boyfriend or something
while you're at it. That's not that French maid out. Yeah,

(01:20:36):
that one went over great. That was our biggest Internet
day of all time.

Speaker 6 (01:20:39):
Well, we'll have to come up with another reason to
have me dress.

Speaker 2 (01:20:41):
All right, seven seven zero three one quickly. I wanted
to get to the story. Maybe we can cover it
next segment as well. LA woman accused of using dating
apps to do what rob people?

Speaker 6 (01:20:52):
I canna say, does she rob people like Cardi b So.

Speaker 2 (01:20:55):
What she would do? She's like, that's so funny. She's
accused of using dating apps to target mostly affluent elderly men.
So she would go out with elderly men who have
done well for themselves. She kind of gains their trust,
and then of course winds up breaking into their house
and robbing them. As she's dating them. She would case
the house. Oh, man walk through the house, and then

(01:21:16):
as they kind of gave as there was a little
bit more comfort level and trust created, she would use
that against them and then wind up robbing them blind.
You know, jewelry, cash watches, you know, anything expensive and carriable.
She would do that. She did it to a number
of people in La.

Speaker 6 (01:21:31):
It's funny. You hear a lot about that in Miami.

Speaker 5 (01:21:34):
Oh yeah, I'm here a lot about that in Miami
where some guy will wake up after meeting a hot
chicken a nightclub and is, I don't know how much
a rolex is, but his rolexes missing, other jewelry is missing,
and it's like, you do know your own surveillance.

Speaker 2 (01:21:48):
Yeah, you know much a Rolexes model wise, it's that's
for that. That would be an upper level rolex. That
would be like a Daytona Okay, like a Panda something
like that. But you can get into like a date
just rolex for like ten twelve used ones in the
seven range. Okay, okay, are you looking for one?

Speaker 16 (01:22:07):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:22:08):
Okay, there's a lot. Yeah, exactly when you get into
the Paddock Philips and the uh one that aps, it's.

Speaker 6 (01:22:16):
Just Robert Red for the the other he was the
race car driver.

Speaker 2 (01:22:20):
Paul, Yeah, that's the that's the Daytona roll up. Oh
that's the dayton Yeah, that's the Daytona. And the one
that has the red printing on it, and that's the
Newman one. That one is like what they call that's
the holy Grail of watches outside of this one Paddock
Philippe that is supposed to be again it's like a
world Krono or something like that. That thing is like
a one hundred and seventy k or well one of
them is, like I think the Robert Redford one or

(01:22:41):
the Paul Newman whe went for like seven point six million.

Speaker 6 (01:22:43):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (01:22:44):
Yeah, yeah, but a lot of it is it's the provenance.
It has nothing. I mean the watch is the watch
still a cool watch, but I mean not worth a
you know, seven point six million, But when it's engraved
Paul Newman, it's worth a little bit of money for sure.

Speaker 6 (01:22:55):
I would agree that.

Speaker 2 (01:22:56):
All right, seven to seven zero three to one, you're
five o'clock. Keyword is grand g R A N D.
Just slide over to real Radio dot FM and send
that away for your chance at one thousand dollars unclaimed
safety deposit boxes. Interesting. I'll tell you why next.

Speaker 11 (01:23:11):
Hey, Jim and crew, it's me.

Speaker 8 (01:23:18):
It's Ken.

Speaker 11 (01:23:19):

Thanks it easy that account birthdays.

Speaker 2 (01:23:55):
True to that. All right, Welcome back to the Jim
Gilbert Show, Real Radio one oh four point one A grand.
That is your five o'clock heyword, g R A n D.
Kick it over to Real Radio dot FM and send
that away from your chance of one thousand bucks. Grand. Guys,
that is your probabluck he were good luck. I'm Jim.
There's deb Hello, Jack is here as well. Hi there.
We would be remiss not to mention that this Gaza

(01:24:16):
peace deal that has been broken by President Trump is
a major accomplishment and I'm dying to see how this
plays out. I really am. This was a you know,
one of those difficult things when you're dealing with Middle East.
I mean, the cultures have been there thousands of years, yea,
and it is unbelievable to negotiate there. And if he

(01:24:37):
was able to negotiate a peace deal to get those
hostages home, that would be an incredible accomplishment aside anything
you could say about Donald Trump, that would be an
incredible accomplishment, and that would be one of the great
things in his legacy that would, like.

Speaker 7 (01:24:51):
You know, yeah, and I think one of the big
things where people were hoping. There are a lot of
people hoping he would get the Nobel Peace Prize, which
was awarded to someone else today. Right, however, the President
was saying that Monday, they might be released as soon
as Monday or Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (01:25:10):
But now I'm seeing, you know, reports that it could
even be sooner than that. Yeah, I mean, obviously it
would be great if that was happening. Yeah, you know,
and again he and Neto years yeah, yeah, he and Netanya,
who have drawn a lot of lines in the sand.
Then of course they backed away from that. So you know,
when I heard this announcement, I didn't immediately react to
it because not a lot of people had picked the
story up at that time, and then of course as

(01:25:31):
the story started spreading and I kind of read about it.
It is kind of interesting because apparently Hamasa has agreed
to the first stage of this. I guess there's a
four or five stage pullback I read about it today
where there's a certain thing they're doing there, and then
the last part of that is they're to destroy all
of the tunnels because that's how they're able to kind
of move around without being detected. They've done that. They

(01:25:51):
basically had this tunnel system that runs under the city
and that's where the hostages are, which makes it almost,
if not completely, impossible to extract those pe well without
you know, severe death to everybody.

Speaker 5 (01:26:02):
Obviously, And of course you know they're not building the
tunnels out into the middle of the streets. They're building
them under hospitals and places where people seek refuge. So
for getting rid of those tunnel system I think is
going to be a huge step.

Speaker 2 (01:26:14):
Absolutely, so very interested to see how this plays out,
and I hope it does. Like Jack said, twenty four
months in captivity and it's not like you're being captive
by people who are looking to keep you nice and healthy.

Speaker 6 (01:26:25):
No, we had recorded earlier they were kept in cages
and starve.

Speaker 8 (01:26:28):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (01:26:29):
Well, I mean if they're starting, if the citizens are starving,
I got bad news for you know.

Speaker 6 (01:26:32):
That's how the hostages were capt But that's.

Speaker 2 (01:26:34):
What I'm saying. I mean, if the citizens are barely
making it, they're definitely not going to be that. You know,
they're not going to be looking at the hostages and going, well,
you know, here's another piece of bread, say nice and fat?
You know, yeah, no, I don't think that's happening.

Speaker 7 (01:26:45):
So then it's like what's next, right, right, you know,
because they have to what's the future hold as far
as security for the region.

Speaker 2 (01:26:54):
But both sides want to see, right, Apparently there's going
to be a term I've never heard before, which is
a uh. The first word is techno and it was
they want to It was like techno crop technocracy or
something like that. And I guess it was a going
to be a policing system within Gaza after the after

(01:27:15):
the people have returned. And the funny thing is is
when I heard you know, the I mean, what is
it not even two weeks ago? They were talking about
complete you know, I say they Nanyahu was talking about
a complete access to Gaza like they were going to Oh.

Speaker 6 (01:27:27):
They were gonna, yeah, they were gonna occupy guys.

Speaker 2 (01:27:29):
And I think that's when Trump kind of threw the
hammer down because that was not well received by almost
anyone globally. And that's when I think Trump really had
enough and said, hey, look, buddy, you can't just I mean,
we've gotten your back so much. I think that maybe
Nan Yaho kind of got a little above himself and
started kind of, you know, maybe talking you know, sideways
a little bit and had to get put in check
air strikes and cutters. Yeah, yeah, yeah, stuff like that. Yeah,

(01:27:51):
because he didn't like that either. Trump. Trump was a
major player there. He basically said, no, that ain't happening again.

Speaker 8 (01:27:57):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:27:57):
So it's gonna be interesting to see how this plays
out again. It would be great if those hostages do
start getting released, uh the latest Monday or Tuesday. But
if it happens this weekend, they're already rejoicing in the
streets in Palestine.

Speaker 7 (01:28:09):
So about two dozen oh just think two years of
war and that you know, they might stop bombing.

Speaker 6 (01:28:16):
Yeah, and in Israel, they're dancing in the streets.

Speaker 2 (01:28:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sure. And I wonder though, because
usually when there are wars of this nature, there is
a reconstruction period. We did it here in the Civil War,
we did it post worl War two and post World
War one? Is that what's going to happen here? And
and how does that happen? I mean, you know who
who who foots the bill for that? I mean, is
Israel going to help pay for that? Are we paying

(01:28:39):
for that? Is the Middle East?

Speaker 4 (01:28:40):
I mean?

Speaker 7 (01:28:40):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (01:28:40):
I mean? Or is Saudi Arabia and Yemen?

Speaker 7 (01:28:43):
And and uh, they don't seem to be cash poor, right,
the region does not seem to be cash it's outside
of that.

Speaker 2 (01:28:51):
But I think what you're talking about rebuilding an entire
I mean entire nation, buddy, Really it's in rubble, true.
And but it's also who has say is it?

Speaker 22 (01:29:01):
You know?

Speaker 7 (01:29:01):
Because then you all, when you have that, there's a
lot of you know, interests that you know will be involved, right,
and you know who is going to be responsible for
the security and long term security of that region. Is
it a multilateral you know, Arab force or is it

(01:29:23):
just a multinational force or or something different.

Speaker 2 (01:29:26):
And I would think that there would have to be
some kind of monitoring internally because one of the things
they would never want to have happen again is Hamas
come back into power in any way, shape or form.
That's not what they want because obviously they've caused all
these issues for Palestinians who don't really look at the
world in an extreme light. And I don't know how
many that is. I'm'nder the percentages, but you know, I

(01:29:46):
don't know how you do that. How do you keep
that rebellion from rising up again? Is it just through
the deal, through negotiating a good deal with Israel and
the people around you to say that, hey, look, you
know if we don't do this, you don't do this.
We have access. They can't even remember when Israel is
running this. I mean they don't even have like they
can't receive shipments, like they have all of that coastline
and none of it was available to use as a port,

(01:30:08):
none of that. Israel completely and utterly controlled the West
Bank and Gaza. So I don't know what kind of
deal you can make when the prior deal was so constrictive,
what the new one's going to look like? I mean
I think if you know, if if they can get
some kind of agreement with Hamas that you know, if
this ever happens again kind of thing that you know,

(01:30:29):
that's when you'll really see the fun. Well supposedly.

Speaker 7 (01:30:34):
I think part of the agreement is if if you're
staying in Gaza Hamah, you have to you know, all
weapons have to be turned in or you have to.

Speaker 2 (01:30:43):
You know, exit the region.

Speaker 21 (01:30:45):
Sure you.

Speaker 2 (01:30:48):
Are they getting their sovereignty back, I mean, or do
they ever have that? I know that the whole idea
of this sovereign nation, I know that that was a
big thing France, I guess stepped up in a couple
of other nations as a threat to net and Yahoo
to basically come to a conclusion here and stop the
killing you know, obviously some called genocide. That that would
be one of the things that once it's recognized as

(01:31:09):
a sovereign nation, it's a different machine altogether.

Speaker 6 (01:31:13):
That's going to be the very difficult part.

Speaker 3 (01:31:15):
You think, oh yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:31:18):
I mean, how can you prove two countries, after you know,
years of having these extremist groups in that area, how
can you prove to the country that this is the
time you're not going to do it anymore. Well, I
just like AA and all those other areas. I mean,
you know, how could you guarantee you going eradicate those
people from the country.

Speaker 6 (01:31:34):
Well, you can't. I mean that's only part of the issue, right.

Speaker 5 (01:31:37):
I don't think Israel would ever allow there to be
a sovereign nation after that.

Speaker 6 (01:31:42):
I mean they're talking about occupying.

Speaker 5 (01:31:44):
I think the difficulty is tempering what Israel wants to
do with what the Palestinians need, and that's going to
need the world, right And I don't know how that's
going to come into play with our aid situation.

Speaker 6 (01:31:55):
It's it's everything is up in the air.

Speaker 5 (01:31:56):
I think right now, the thing to celebrate is that
the hostages get to come home, the tanks get to
pull out, and hopefully we're going to not see so
many images of starving children, right. Yeah, we can start
to heal those wounds and then worry about the buildings
and the roads after.

Speaker 2 (01:32:09):
No more bombing hospitals, know that stuff, any.

Speaker 6 (01:32:11):
No more of those videos, No more of those video
you can't.

Speaker 2 (01:32:14):
Yeah, And they killed seventeen hundred people on October seventh,
took three or four hundred hostage A couple hundred hostage
Israel and return has killed about sixty five to seventy
thousand Palestinians in retribution of that, and that's where they
get a lot of the genocide talk because it seems
heavy handed to a lot of people globally. I don't

(01:32:34):
know how if that's how it's presented to the media
or if that's the actual case, but that's the number
I remember hearing and reading.

Speaker 5 (01:32:41):
Well, when you start to hear, you know, when one,
you know, piece deal is broken, and then Israel starts
bombing AID workers from Jose Andreas with the World Food
Kitchen has to lose some of his people who are
just cooking food for people in a war zone. Then
you start to go, wait a minute, right a minute,
Wait a minute, come on, we're doing yeah, journalists, Yeah,

(01:33:02):
I mean, you know Red Crescent workers. You know clearly
they are aid workers, and I know the excuse always
goes back to yeah, but we don't yes, but it's
you know, you already.

Speaker 6 (01:33:13):
Have victims of war. It's great anywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:33:15):
It's good to see both sides at least come to
a tentative agreement that they will move forward and at
least listen to a discussion. The first stage has been
agreed to by both parties, and like Jack said, Tuesday
Wednesday or Monday Tuesday, we're supposed to be seeing releasing
of hostages maybe earlier. I think that would be a
really good kind of That would be one of those
things that if something happened Saturday, Sunday maybe like that,

(01:33:37):
that you can see where Okay, well, you know, obviously
they're they're taking this seriously because I think they've been
like with what three other red line drawn situations where
if you don't if you don't do it by tomorrow,
and then of course nothing happens because you can't, they
would just immediately execute the hostages, and then it would
turn into a scenario that would be genocidal.

Speaker 5 (01:33:56):
Oh yeah, And I think that's part of the reason
with the soup or nation is that that would allow
the Palestinians to maybe have a military. And you know,
Golden my Ears said in the sixties, you know, if
if our neighbors put down their guns, there would be peace.
If Israel puts down their guns, Israel ceases to exist,
right yeah, yea, yeah, I mean they're literally surrounded by

(01:34:18):
people who want nothing more than to eradicate them off
the face.

Speaker 2 (01:34:22):
And the only way that Palestine, you know, the Palestinians
were able to quote quote wage war was exactly what
they did October seven, two years ago, which is that
the only way they can do it because they can't
like declared, there's no like since military, so they have
to do these invasions and which was the girl of war. Yeah, yeah, realize.

Speaker 5 (01:34:39):
But the worst part was you had Israeli soldiers who
were witnessing the hang gliding training and everything, who went
to their commanding officers and said, listen, they're planning for something,
and they they were pooh pooh, no, no, no, no, no,
no balls, not that they don't have the balls, they
don't have the capability to pull off something like that.
And then when October seventh happened and they sat the

(01:35:00):
with egg on their faces. Now you know why several
of them were made to resign because they did not
take those warnings and strive. They if they had acted
on those warnings and trusted their own military personnel who
were witnessing the Hamas do these hang gliding, these training scenarios,
they would have known they were planning something.

Speaker 2 (01:35:18):
And when you read online of course, when you get
into that the internet sphere, you start reading. Of course,
a lot of people started throwing around the fact that
bb knew this and allowed them to do what they
did so that they could they could stay in the
invasion exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:35:30):
I mean, there were mistakes made on the beginning of this.
And again you know, Hamas didn't go in and go
after those soldiers. They went into the kibbutz's, they went
into the Millba Nova music festival. You know, they slaughtered
young people dancing at sunrise.

Speaker 2 (01:35:44):
Yeah yeah, so yeah, yeah, interesting times. We'll see what
happens gonna be It'll be interesting to see if Hamas
holds up their end of the deal in Israel as well.

Speaker 5 (01:35:53):
Let's let's just hope, because the whole world is hurting
over this, the whole world. There's two countries that were
two places that are at war, but we're all hurting
from it.

Speaker 2 (01:36:01):
Four oh seven nine one six four one text us
at seven seven zero three one. I'm gonna get to
this thing real quick and we can maybe cover this
in five minutes before we get to trivia or excuse me,
oh Pixie porn. Health Secretary Robert Kennedy and Trump link
this to autism. It's something that happens as a baby,

(01:36:23):
your first breath, no whatever, circumcision.

Speaker 6 (01:36:31):
Oh okay, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:36:32):
So they're linking circumcision to autism, and obviously you know
why because during circumcision, painful babies get tail and all
the question I have to penis was behind me? Oh
that that evil corporation. Okay, what I read this because
of this? Right I You know, Kennedy is what he is.

(01:36:53):
Trump is what he is. The tilent a thing is
interesting though. That is a private company, right, Yes, When
the president of the Union United States and the Health
Secretary of the United States, my question exactly, the two
most powerful people in those realms in this country start
aim dropping your company as a cause of autism, to

(01:37:13):
watch your stock. The first time they did it dropped
by twelve to twenty percent. Does Thailandol or the company
that owns Thailandol have any recourse against the President of
the United States for basically slandering them without actual evidence
that Thailandol or Stifin causes autism. You say it almost

(01:37:35):
as well as he does. Ye.

Speaker 7 (01:37:38):
You can't see the president specifically, but I think you
could have a lawsuit against the federal government.

Speaker 2 (01:37:44):
Yeah, the federal government gets over this.

Speaker 6 (01:37:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:37:46):
Because again, this would be like saying, instead of facial
tissue causes you acne because of the bleach in it,
it would be saying Kleenex, Yeah, Kleenex causes this problem. Right,
So instead of coming out and saying a citaminifin is
the problem, like you said, he came.

Speaker 6 (01:38:01):
Out and used a name brand.

Speaker 5 (01:38:02):
There are several, right, the brands of a Menifit Thailand
all just happens to be the best known one.

Speaker 2 (01:38:07):
And then he could have said to see the Benifit.

Speaker 5 (01:38:09):
Yeah, that's a that's a good time on Instagram.

Speaker 2 (01:38:14):
Let me tell you what I find it easier to say.
Tilan On did it a week ago and then doubled
down I guess either today or yesterday during another press conference,
and then dropped it again like and I don't know
what the I mean. Obviously the market got destroyed today.
Do not look at you, don't look at you. Don't
look at your winke, don't look at your portfolio today.
It's only down eight seventy.

Speaker 6 (01:38:31):
Eight hot NASDAK two point seven.

Speaker 2 (01:38:35):
And twenty points down. Yeah, it didn't. It didn't cost
me anything today, Thank god, that's what you get for
being rich or Yeah, But man, I wondered that I
was gonna Actually I wondered the same almost text ray
about it today. But I know he's unbelievably busy, and
to look down and see a dopey text for me
is not what he wants when he's trying to get

(01:38:56):
somebody off of some crime. Uh. But what I'm telling
you is I I thought it was very bizarre. I'm like,
can that happen? Can the president just all of a
sudden come at a company that's done nothing. There's no
evidence behind this, no scientific evidence at all that's supported
you know him saying that, but yet just says it
blatantly right out, no problem. I just find that very interesting.

(01:39:17):
I wonder have timelin I just sit there and goes,
please stop, please stop. I'm begging you stop. We've been
in business a long time. Please stop, all right? Seven

Speaker 23 (01:40:07):
Hey, guys, one thing that's not being said about the
Mobil Peace Prize is that Trump would not be eligible
this year. They picked the nominees for that in January,
so he wasn't even president until February.

Speaker 8 (01:40:20):
So he might be.

Speaker 23 (01:40:22):
Eligible for next year, but this year wasn't going to happen.
Of course, he probably thinks he deserves.

Speaker 2 (01:40:27):
But you know there's that.

Hey there, Colbert Crewe, Robert here from Florida, turnpiecast for us.

Speaker 1 (01:51:46):
Your quick hit on gaming news reviews and a little
chaos as pop Pomp tries gaming update with Jayden's starts.

Speaker 2 (01:51:55):
Now, you guys, give it a good laugh for Jade. Right, hey, money,
what's going on by it?

Speaker 3 (01:52:02):
You know, I'm a little out of breath, just kind
of done, just sprinting over here, but we're here.

Speaker 13 (01:52:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:52:06):
For people who do not know, Jaden is Brandon Kravitz's
producer who spends times with us on Monday. I got
that job about what two months ago?

Speaker 4 (01:52:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:52:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:52:16):
Wow? Two months?

Speaker 2 (01:52:17):
Yeah, you spend at your first producing job, yeah ever,
which is very cool, and then of course has a
sprint right over and do it with us. Usually we
do this at six twenty, but you have a commitment
over there at six twenty.

Speaker 3 (01:52:26):
Now they they So I got a job with the
Orlando Magic Oh wow. Yeah, So I also produce the
Magic Insiders show. So that's running right now while I'm
over here.

Speaker 2 (01:52:35):
Oh right, let's hope it's working it's working. Don't worry.

Speaker 3 (01:52:38):
I have BK covering for me right now.

Speaker 2 (01:52:40):
Well, let's get to it, buddy. What do you got
first this week?

Speaker 3 (01:52:43):
So you remember how I told you how the game
pass is going up, right, Yeah, well we got a
little cheat code. Game game Stop still sells a little
gift cards that are worth twenty dollars, so you could
still get it for twenty dollars if you just go
to game Stop and buy it in person.

Speaker 6 (01:52:57):
It's like, please, don't forget whe're he are.

Speaker 3 (01:52:59):
Yeah, they're like please please. Then where we're running out
of business?

Speaker 7 (01:53:02):
Well probably until that stock runs out, right, yeah, I
would imagine.

Speaker 2 (01:53:06):
Now, but what is the norm? What is the new
feet up from twenty Yeah? Okay, so it went up
ten bucks and you can still maintain that if you
hit game stop and it'll pop up the uh.

Speaker 7 (01:53:18):
You can also come in at more economical levels, because
I noticed, like the day after Jayden was here last
I look, I got the notification from Microsoft telling me
there's a you know, the fifteen dollars level where you
don't get access to all the games, and then there's
a ten dollars level really where you get like four games.

Speaker 2 (01:53:39):
And you can can you pick?

Speaker 13 (01:53:40):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (01:53:41):
Okay? So does let me ask real quick? Does does
the game pass know what you have downloaded on your system?

Speaker 3 (01:53:48):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:53:48):
It does. So basically, if I wipe all the games
that I've downloaded, can I get four more games? Or
is it just these are the four games you can get,
they choose them for you.

Speaker 7 (01:53:59):
You can download more games, but really the limits are
fifty games. The next tier is two hundred games. The
next year is three hundred games in the library. Okay,
download whatever you can fit on the hard drive or
thera on your computer.

Speaker 2 (01:54:14):
Got it.

Speaker 7 (01:54:14):
But it's just with the thirty dollars level, you have
access to everything day one, and then they reduce it.

Speaker 2 (01:54:21):
They reduce what you're getting. Gott I gotta got it.

Speaker 3 (01:54:24):
Yeah, they just take it down by just like level
and level and almost tier.

Speaker 2 (01:54:29):
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:54:29):
I mean I still think the thirty dollars is worth
it if you play a lot of Xbox like for me,
it's worth it for you. I wouldn't tell you to
get the thirty dollars version.

Speaker 5 (01:54:37):
I mean, and again you get's a nice way of
saying you don't game enough, but hold on.

Speaker 2 (01:54:40):
The again when you when you rank this against other
forms of entertainment. It's still a steel dude, because I mean,
you go to the movies once, one time with a
drink and popcorn. That's over thirty dollars. That's one two
hour experience.

Speaker 3 (01:54:53):
The tickets are forty dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:54:55):
Well, so what I'm saying, I'm by yourself those what
I'm saying is for thirty dollars a month. I would
think that's a dirt cheap experience. But to Jaden's point,
you might not need that. It could be overkilled for you.

Speaker 7 (01:55:07):
Where the fifteen dollars ten dollars level is going to
satisfy your needs. Like for me, I don't think I
need a thirty dollars one because I'll play one game
and I will play that forever. Right, the thirty dollars
level is the one, is the level where you have
access to everything. If you're playing a lot of games,
you want them day one when they come out. When
put it this way, when Grand Theft Auto six comes

(01:55:28):
out in May, I'm going to buy that game and
I will probably play that for the year next year
without playing anything else.

Speaker 2 (01:55:35):
Really, it'll last me.

Speaker 3 (01:55:37):
I probably do the same thing though, because then online
comes out and GTA is still going to be fresh,
so we'll be in the same boat when that comes out.

Speaker 2 (01:55:42):
All let's go.

Speaker 3 (01:55:44):
So I told you guys, Xbox is done with consoles, right,
But I don't I don't think they know what they
want to do as a company, because despite them saying
that over and over and over again, they have a
new console coming.

Speaker 2 (01:55:55):
Out, don't do they really?

Speaker 3 (01:55:56):
Yeah, they change it. They change their minds. Now it
is going to be stupid expensive. They they've already said
the price is gonna be insane compared to any other console,
compared to the PS six that's also got said it's
gonna come out within the next few years. They said there,
it's gonna be skyrocketed.

Speaker 2 (01:56:13):
But again, I mean, when you're paying five hundred dollars
per system, you think to yourself, for six hundred or
whatever it's.

Speaker 3 (01:56:18):
Gonna be, this one's probably gonna hit a thousand.

Speaker 2 (01:56:19):
Yeah, still dirt cheap considering you can use that system
for years. Right.

Speaker 7 (01:56:23):
I think they're gonna send more people to gaming, like
computer gaming PC gaming.

Speaker 3 (01:56:28):
Right, But that's all their Microsoft is doing. They're just
making the Xbox a PC. But it's never gonna be
as good as a PC. So just get a PC
once it gets to this point, because I just a
thousand dollars on the consoles insane. You can get a
beast of a computer for a round. It's probably more
than a grand.

Speaker 2 (01:56:45):
Yeah, it's more than a grand because the one that
my buddy built for me is actually a gaming computer,
which is a damn shame because I don't use it
for anything close to what it's capable of doing. And
he told me it would have been in a sixteen
hundred grain tothing like that.

Speaker 3 (01:56:57):
Yeah, I got mined on Black Friday for a really
good deal. I got mine for like a thousand, five hundred.

Speaker 2 (01:57:02):
And it's all the processors, right, That's really where the
money is in those things, the video card, the process
sound card.

Speaker 3 (01:57:07):
That's where it adds up very very quickly.

Speaker 2 (01:57:10):
These video cards are insane, dude.

Speaker 3 (01:57:12):
Yeah, but they'm I mean, I'm excited for a new Xbox.
I don't really think it's needed. We just got a
new console about five years ago. Yeah, it's just it's
not worth it. Everyone's still on this hardware and you're
gonna have to make whole new hardware. It's gonna delay
games that have want to come out in the near future.
It's not worth it. But you know, Xbox needs to
make money and they're gonna do everything they possibly can, and.

Speaker 2 (01:57:33):
Some people just like having the newest of something. I
mean with Apple people was the same way I knew
people used to wait at Apple stores for a phone
to come out, and the phone they had in their
hand was no more than a year old. This thing
I'm using right now is like twenty twelve. Yeah, I'm
just you can't kill them, so I mean, why get
a new one?

Speaker 3 (01:57:47):
You know, I'm with I don't upgrade my phone either.
I mean, I'm on the twelve still.

Speaker 2 (01:57:50):
Yeah, I think that is.

Speaker 3 (01:57:53):
Maybe I'm older than I think I am.

Speaker 7 (01:57:55):
It's really battery life. You know, I'm on the fourteen
and it's fine as if you take care of it. Yeah,
the phone is fine, but it's just you know, you
got to charge it part way through the day.

Speaker 3 (01:58:05):
Yeah, do you update your phone just out of curiosity?
Do you update your phone at all?

Speaker 2 (01:58:08):
Would you like to answer this for the young man?

Speaker 6 (01:58:11):
What do you mean?

Speaker 3 (01:58:12):
I mean, I'm with you. I'm on seventeen point six. Still,
they're like on twenty three.

Speaker 7 (01:58:16):
If the updates are automatically set his phone is updated.
If not, they are not, his phone is not updated.

Speaker 6 (01:58:21):
Here's a really good example.

Speaker 5 (01:58:23):
I mean the other day we were talking about how
many unread emails you have and Jimmy asked, where you
look that up?

Speaker 2 (01:58:30):
Oh no, it's for a second. I'm going right now,
I'll tell you exactly what it is. I'm running doss three.
It's a joke.

Speaker 10 (01:58:38):
I was like, it.

Speaker 2 (01:58:39):
Shouldn't be three point one.

Speaker 6 (01:58:43):
He was honestly scared.

Speaker 3 (01:58:44):
I was like, he has a galaxy, what is that?

Speaker 8 (01:58:47):
Go ahead?

Speaker 2 (01:58:48):
It says I have an update that's needed. I'm gonna
do that later.

Speaker 3 (01:58:51):
You see. I reminded you you're welcome.

Speaker 2 (01:58:52):
Thank you.

Speaker 8 (01:58:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:58:53):
So we were talking about bees the last week, me
and Jack, so I figured I would have to talk
about this. Fallout Day is happening and they're broadcasting it. Well.
I don't understand the point of Fallout Day though, because
they're just talking about updates to existing games.

Speaker 2 (01:59:09):
At all.

Speaker 3 (01:59:09):
Those games are ten plus years old. Are there really
what could you possibly update? At this point? Fallout four
has already got its serious X version enhanced that there's
nothing else you can do. I have a little theory.
I think they're gonna tease Fallout three remastered. Now, it's
been talked for a very long time that the remastering
Fallout games. A leaker that's pretty well known in the

(01:59:32):
community says he doesn't think it's gonna happen. He'd be
surprised if it happens. But with all the Fallout broadcast
coming out of the blue and just somehow we're looking
at leaks to Fallout three remastered again, I think they're
gonna release at least a teaser trailer for Fallout three remasters.

Speaker 2 (01:59:50):
Oh really, yeah, for sure? Is that a big deal?
That's huge? So and what do the remasters do? They
just clean up the video or to add stuff to it.

Speaker 3 (01:59:57):
Uh so, if it's a good remastered, it won't add anything,
won't touch it. It's gonna be the game from two
thousand and eight, just upgraded graphics, sounds. It's just it's
just enhancing. And I cannot wait because the Fallout, Fallout three,
fall Out New Vegas, they look horrible. They have not
aged well story wise, gameplay wise. It's fun, it's just
not a good look. It does not look pretty.

Speaker 2 (02:00:19):
And that's a legendary brand, right Fallout.

Speaker 3 (02:00:21):
Yeah, fall out. Yeah, they have a Halloween horror nite house.

Speaker 2 (02:00:24):
Yeah, yeah, I just did.

Speaker 4 (02:00:25):
I just did it.

Speaker 3 (02:00:25):
By the way, it was awesome.

Speaker 2 (02:00:26):
Really yeah, I did you go to the Terrifier house?
I did?

Speaker 3 (02:00:29):
That was also awesome.

Speaker 2 (02:00:30):
Do they give they give you a warning or something
right before you go in there?

Speaker 3 (02:00:32):
Listen? I did not. I saw the signs, but I
didn't see any dry path. I got soaked. Yeah, and
I was like, yeah, where is this drive path that
everyone talked to me?

Speaker 2 (02:00:41):
To tell my wife. She's going Sunday night and if
she gets wet in a in a in one of
those haunted houses, she is going to rage. Oh she's
oh goha, not gonna be happy.

Speaker 3 (02:00:50):
You gotta tell her to watch out the drive I don't.
I think the drive paths a lie though. All right,
really I didn't see a single one. All right, I'm
soaking wet. It smells horrible. But that's besides the point.

Speaker 2 (02:01:01):
You had a good time, right, Oh?

Speaker 3 (02:01:02):
Yeah, the houses were great. The houses are great. It's
just the wet part, you know.

Speaker 4 (02:01:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:01:06):
Anyways, Battlefield six came out today.

Speaker 2 (02:01:09):
Okay, this is when you've been waiting.

Speaker 3 (02:01:10):
Yes, I've been waiting on it for a long time
this weekend. I'm actually in Coco Beach. But guess what
the Xbox is in the car already?

Speaker 2 (02:01:19):
Are you serious?

Speaker 3 (02:01:20):
Of course it is. Yeah, I got free time in
the hotel. I got some Xbox.

Speaker 22 (02:01:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:01:27):
Oh, I'm so serious.

Speaker 2 (02:01:29):
There's a giant beach party. You get a whole up
of video games NERD.

Speaker 3 (02:01:32):
Yeah, exactly what I'm going to do, you know. Yeah, Hey, Jack,
you can come join on Sunday after the event if
you want. Yeah, I got some games.

Speaker 2 (02:01:40):
We set it up on.

Speaker 3 (02:01:44):
I'll bring bring the hotel TV to the The theme.

Speaker 2 (02:01:48):
For Battlefield six it's just a war theme that doesn't
really give a specific war or location.

Speaker 3 (02:01:54):
It's it's a modern day a bunch of proxy wars
just around by the world. Cities yeah, yeah, cities, random
places in the deserts.

Speaker 2 (02:02:03):
They're like the news.

Speaker 3 (02:02:04):
Yeah, exactly, like the news. Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 2 (02:02:06):
Are you fighting other people or is it you against
the game?

Speaker 3 (02:02:09):
No, it's all online, so really. Yeah, some lobbies get
up to like one hundred people and hundred yeah dude, yeah,
it's Battlefield run in the battlefield one hundred people, there's
one hundred pet It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (02:02:19):
And do you talk to those people. Do you have teams,
because I mean I've seen my son playing. He's like,
you know, three or four people on his team or
whatever it is, and they try to work in unison
to to uh, you know, to kind of you know,
take care of the goal.

Speaker 3 (02:02:30):
You have squad members. You don't really talk to random
people as much as you as you would do in
other games, mostly like your friends. But yeah, there it's
a squad of four in Battlefield six, is it really?

Speaker 24 (02:02:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:02:39):
In most games, in most battlefields, I think it's the
squad of four you had.

Speaker 2 (02:02:42):
Your squad is a set squad of dudes that you
played with for a long time or whatever.

Speaker 3 (02:02:45):
Yeah, if you want, or you can be random people
just however you load into it.

Speaker 2 (02:02:49):
But cool.

Speaker 3 (02:02:49):
I want you to take a guess. Now this is
only on one console, but just take a guess on
how much they made so far? Mind you, it came
out about fifteen hours ago.

Speaker 2 (02:02:57):
How much they've already made in revenue? How much which
is the game?

Speaker 3 (02:03:01):
Sixty dollars? Now I went up it's probably like seventy eighty.

Speaker 2 (02:03:05):
So obviously more than a million people are waiting for this.
That's sixty million for every time I would think they
probably sold at least god, maybe what five five million copies.
I know people have been waiting. I'll go, I'll go
three hundred million.

Speaker 3 (02:03:19):
Oh on the on the spot. Yeah, yeah, nailed it
that get it wait special ending, very very nice. That's
the first time I heard that. Okay, welcome to the
Jim Pilberg.

Speaker 2 (02:03:34):
Yeah, Jack can use that later in the Jesus you
even made him say Jesus.

Speaker 3 (02:03:42):
Three hundred million crazy start. Oh my god, fifteen hours hours,
fifteen hours, fifteen hours say, and Call of Duty has
made their game free to play all weekend long. But
who's even looking at that garbage when Battlefield six is
coming out.

Speaker 2 (02:03:55):
That's why they did it, of course, right, Yeah, trying.

Speaker 3 (02:03:57):
To pick some people away.

Speaker 2 (02:03:59):
But you can't one of these games. I'm assuming you
can set the language and all that stuff like that. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:04:03):
Yeah, Now you've every time I've been on here, you
have talked about a civil war game. Well one got canceled.
Actually oh really, yeah, it was just that just came out.
Is Assassin's Creed. You know what Assassin's Kreen is.

Speaker 2 (02:04:15):
Yeah, I remember Assassin's created DU's got like a cowl
over and like Ninja.

Speaker 3 (02:04:18):
So yeah, yeah, who you get that one?

Speaker 2 (02:04:22):
You get here coming from behind you.

Speaker 3 (02:04:31):
That's so scary it is. But you played as a
former slave black man, and as the assassins, you are
in historic figures and you have to assassinate pretty popular
people in history. Well you fight the very first uh
kool Klux clan members and everything like that. Oh man, yeah,
And they were like, well, we can't really do this

(02:04:52):
in the the age of life. So they're like, we're
going to cancel this. Yeah, oh yeah. They canceled it
really quick, they said. They said, with Trump begetting president
and how like everyone's just at each other's neck, it's
not a good idea. So yeah, they said, because it
was posted to lease around like presidents, right, and you.

Speaker 2 (02:05:09):
Know, man, the last thing you want to do is
a fend those racists.

Speaker 3 (02:05:12):
Yeah yeah, I know.

Speaker 2 (02:05:14):
No money. How could you live with yourself?

Speaker 6 (02:05:16):
Seriously?

Speaker 3 (02:05:16):
Now, are you still playing RoboCop?

Speaker 2 (02:05:19):
I only got to play a little bit this week,
but I am still playing it. I don't want to
do anything else because I'm enjoying it. I don't want
to do it. I'll let you give me a game
maybe next week. But I'm telling you straight up right now,
I'm having a good time playing this. It's really allowing
me to kind of become better at the controller and
be more patient. I've learned that you have to be
patient with these games because if you're trying to get
the thing to move the way you think it should move,

(02:05:39):
you'll drive yourself crazy. So what you have to do
is just kind of make sure that you understand the
movements and be more crisp with your movements. That's what
I'm learning.

Speaker 3 (02:05:47):
Hey, as long as you're enjoying it, you're playing. Yeah,
he's doing good.

Speaker 2 (02:05:51):
Look, I want to snipers with that pistol. Watch out. Oh,
I will do damage with that pistol. Dogs, you have
some good a oh man, Okay, I just blasted fools.

Speaker 3 (02:06:00):
So do you know Elon had a game studio?

Speaker 2 (02:06:03):
No, but it makes sense.

Speaker 3 (02:06:04):
Yeah, it's all AI. It's not like people. And he says,
he swears he's gonna have a game out by the
end of twenty twenty six. That is all AI, really, yes,
And I, oh, yeah, I did see that. I can
tell you right now, I ain't buying it. I don't
support AI. I don't think anyone should. I hope that
I hope the game burns and crash.

Speaker 12 (02:06:23):
I like this.

Speaker 2 (02:06:24):
I like this AI fear. That's a new angle. So
what's it supposed to be like? Is it a war game?
Is it a I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:06:29):
He's posted a videos of, like a really small segment
of just like this war. It looks like a video game.

Speaker 2 (02:06:36):
Is it just him taking chainsaw to governmental programs?

Speaker 3 (02:06:40):
Might as well?

Speaker 8 (02:06:41):
Right?

Speaker 3 (02:06:41):
Yeah, pretty much?

Speaker 2 (02:06:42):
Yeah? Is it a game where he just pisses off
all of America in about a six month period.

Speaker 3 (02:06:47):
I'm sure he can. I'm sure it's a part of
the story mode. Yeah, but pretty much from that this week,
that's all that's really happened so far.

Speaker 2 (02:06:55):
Job, I mean, that's happened you lily twelve minutes on that.
That's awesome.

Speaker 3 (02:06:59):
Yeah, I know, I feel like I feel like there's
usually more ground bacon news around here.

Speaker 2 (02:07:03):
Yeah, that's all right, man, that's a good job. Give
it up. Good love for Jayden, guys. Date usually appears
around six twenty. That's where we'll be next week. This week,

Speaker 6 (02:08:41):
Let's just hope it's not uber yeah yeah, or a lyft.

Speaker 2 (02:08:46):
And I just found out how expensive stucco work was
and masonry work. Good God almighty. We have a little
wall that's part of a planter that's been there forever, right,
and a pond or a palm tree bulb busted out
some of the area. It would be no bigger than
this console got almighty. There's just so many people that

(02:09:08):
do it, So when you find somebody that does that,
you got to pay him. And god, I was, I
mean that was That's actually some of the biggest sticker
shock I've had in a while.

Speaker 6 (02:09:15):
Really, I did not.

Speaker 2 (02:09:16):
It was uh, it was thirty five or forty percent
more than I thought I was gonna be.

Speaker 14 (02:09:24):
Real.

Credit is the keyword. Good luck, good luck. I'm Jim
deb is here, so is Jackson Brown.

Speaker 11 (02:09:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:09:44):
Jack has the big surface coming up tomorrow or and Sunday.

Speaker 7 (02:09:47):
He's gonna be there on I'll be there Sunday from
starting eleven am. Right on the beach, Cocoa Beach, right
next to the Westgate Pier. Real Radio. You'll see the
tent up. We're we're doing a little surfboard giveaway. We'll
have some other real radio stuff. But they have events
going on all weekend long again nkfsurf dot com.

Speaker 2 (02:10:06):
Yeah, it's a good time. And you get that taste
of Bervard thing. And that's so crazy thirty five bucks,
thirty five dollars in advance, forty day of But I
will tell you, you know, just kind of being immersed
in the food scene here in Orlando a little bit,
knowing people who throw these tasting events, you know, even
tasting events that we've done. I mean, to get anything
for thirty five or forty dollars, that's what it used
to be like ten years.

Speaker 6 (02:10:27):
Ago, including seafood.

Speaker 2 (02:10:29):
Like ten years ago, you were paying that, you know.
Now those tickets are anywhere from like seventy five to
I mean, of course you can get into the multi
hundreds for some of them, but even the basic ones
are seen to be like seventy seventy five eighty bucks,
you know. And we have another sip in Saver coming
up at the Rosen Yeah, Harry's Pulsye Bar and grill,
and that one's eighty You get seven dishes and seven

(02:10:51):
cocktails and it's eighty bucks.

Speaker 5 (02:10:53):
Yeah, but where else are you gonna get seven dishes
and seven cocktails?

Speaker 2 (02:10:57):
Seven dishes like that and seven cocktails like that? Yeah,
and when the cocktails are coming from this company called
Eddring or something like that, and it's like, McAllen, it's wow,
like all these other like really nice. And I have
to tell you, like the cocktail pairings is really odd
for me because liquor is very present and when you
pair that with food, you have to be very careful
how you build those cocktails. The last one we did

(02:11:19):
was genius Genius dude.

Speaker 5 (02:11:22):
Which is why when chef Teleluna does that for being
the chef who doesn't drink, and it comes up with
the dishes that match the drinks perfectly.

Speaker 2 (02:11:31):
Well. The last story we'll do here today is, of course,
when Bad Bunny was announced as the Super Bowl halftime show,
part of America went a little crazy. They didn't care
for it. The racist part. Well, the part that does
is he gonna singing in English, you know, it's not
in a and it's a funny he's from Puerto Rico
or like he's not an American, which is it's all

(02:11:52):
kind of funny, but Turning Point USA formally headed up
by Charlie Kirk his wife Erica kirk Our his widow,
I should say, Erica Kirk is putting on their own
halftime show. Did you guys see this? Mm hmm, now
that you haven't announced the talent yet, have they did? No,
they have involved dogs playing football. What Oh No, it's

(02:12:12):
not the Bud Bowl, but I do know the Puppy Bowl.

Speaker 5 (02:12:15):
That Lee Greenwood has come out and said that he
would be more than happy to play the Super Bowl.
He'd even be willing to sing God Bless America or
the anthem before kickoff.

Speaker 2 (02:12:23):
I think that's what Mike Johnson wanted. He thought that
that represented more of America than Bad Bunny did. Was
Lee Greenwood the guy who wrote He wrote that song
on eighty four I believe God Bless the usas Yeah,
I guess. On their website, Turning Point USA actually has
a question like we do our Question of the Day, which,

(02:12:44):
by the way, you can still get involved with. Do
you want to travel overseas or would you travel overseas
get medical care to save money? That's up there now.
We'll do that at the end of the show, so
you can still vote what music genres would you like
to see featured. I'll give you the very what do
you think the very first box that you can check
is country? No, that's the fourth guess. Oh, I know

(02:13:08):
it's it's not even a music. It says anything in
English is the first choice. Then we have Americana, which
is like folk music. Yeah, classic rock, country, hip hop, pop,
worship in other words, I guess Christian music. How are
they gonna air that is, it's gonna be like a
a like on their website. I guess you just tune

(02:13:29):
in on the website during the halftime show.

Speaker 12 (02:13:31):
And uh.

Speaker 2 (02:13:31):
And there's the thing I don't know.

Speaker 7 (02:13:34):
A lot of places have done alternate programming during the
Super Bowl. Yeah, where they've done that, I mean the
Puppy Bowl being one of them.

Speaker 5 (02:13:41):
Which is it's actually impressive. The Puppy Bowl has led
to a lot of adoptions. We've even had dogs from
Central Florida that were in the Puppy Bowl.

Speaker 2 (02:13:48):
No way, really, I didn't know that.

Speaker 6 (02:13:49):
Yeah, from shelters here in Central Florida.

Speaker 2 (02:13:51):
That's super cool.

Speaker 7 (02:13:51):
It is thought and of course, anyone, you know, if
you don't understand the language, you're not going to appreciate
the art as much as if you do.

Speaker 3 (02:14:01):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (02:14:02):
The thing is really if you don't understand Spanish in
this country. Uh, let's see, I don't know personally speaking,
I know at every grade level it was offered to me.
So I think it's really on me that I don't
understand Spanish, as opposed to just being mad at the
world that they're speaking Spanish.

Speaker 5 (02:14:20):
I got two three words for you guys, big booty
latinas yeah, oh yeah, booty latinas well.

Speaker 2 (02:14:26):
The first thing I saw when they announced Bad Bunny
is like, you know, do these people understand how many
super hot Latino women are gonna be watching orn this thing?
Are you kidding?

Speaker 7 (02:14:33):
That's what Kendrick Lamar did last year Super Bowl in English.
I didn't understand that. By the way, the honest.

Speaker 2 (02:14:42):
Tea bag text in and said, I do finish carpentry, drywall, framing,
basically anything in construction.

Speaker 6 (02:14:48):
Hey, calm for your masonry walls.

Speaker 2 (02:14:50):
I should have.

Speaker 6 (02:14:52):
I'm sure somebody listens to us who does mason.

Speaker 2 (02:14:55):
What it's done. That's what I'm saying. It's all done,
stuck o the whole yards. I've already written that check.

Speaker 6 (02:15:02):
Did you need smelling salts when you were done.

Speaker 2 (02:15:04):
Uh no, it wasn't terrible. It was like within reason
of what we thought it would be.

Speaker 6 (02:15:10):
It's just look, it's always more expensive than what you
plan for it to be.

Speaker 2 (02:15:14):
Can I tell you if you don't know, you don't know,
you don't know, like if I it's that same thing.
It's always like this, right, It's always And this is
exactly what my wife said. My wife said this, and
this is one of the oldest like not a trope
per se, but if you don't understand what it takes
to do something, you don't have that specialty. Like it

(02:15:34):
was done in three days. My wife was like, damn, dude,
that much money for that work because it wasn't like
a four day or ten day project. It wasn't like
a it was it didn't seem to take that long
to fix, and it didn't seem like it it really
justified spending that much money on it. And I said, well,
the funny thing is they called ten people and these
were the people that would show up, So I guess

(02:15:55):
just you're paying for somebody to show up. That has
been a little disconcerting, by the way, and you know,
I've talked to you guys about this before, about hiring local.
When we do these house for rebuilds, one of the
things we do is we spend the money locally. We
don't have people that come from another part of town.
We go and find vendors in those areas to spend
that money. We think that's the best way to do
it right. We have had the most difficult time finding

(02:16:18):
basic work people to do these jobs, whether it be masonry, drywall.
It took me. It took me two months to find
a landscaper well that would show up and give us
a quote. Two months, guys, And that's not an exaggeration
at all, that would just show up. It was so
infuriating because you know, all you hear in the world

(02:16:39):
is like, you know, support the mom and pop, support
the mom with loss. And I remember this in the
restaurant business. I'm like, well, look man, when we support
you and we tell people to support you, you got
to come through, you know. And I remember during the
restaurant business when that whole thing was going on post
COVID and people were coming back to life, and we
were telling them, like, you know, we're telling people to
go go visit the mom and pops, skip the chains

(02:16:59):
and go there, and then I would get complaints, and
then I would go to mom and pops. I'm like,
you guys aren't doing it right, Like you're not coming through.
You know, we're pushing this work to you, and you're
not living up to your end of the deal. Which
I look, man, I got mad respect for mom and
pop businesses. I owned one. But if I had an
entire force of people sending business my way, the last
thing I would do is screw them over or not

(02:17:20):
provide the service at the level I'm supposed to be
a no call, no show. You have no idea. I
had four landscapers, no call, no show. Really, I'll be
there soon. Just completely ghost me. One guy just stopped
texting me, just stop texting, like we were texting, okay,
we want to show up, and the next day just
would not answer, and I'd be like, I guess you're

(02:17:42):
not coming. No answer to that either, Damn crazy dude.
It is so crazy out there. But you know, sometimes
people get bigger contracts. You're a smaller job. But if
you just tell me that, I'll be like, I'll move on, right,
you know, all right? Four O seven nine one six
one four to one. Again, you can always text us
at seven seven zero three.

Speaker 14 (02:18:00):
I do have this.

Speaker 2 (02:18:00):
One last little thing is from Reddit. It's the am
I the A hole?

Speaker 6 (02:18:05):
I love those?

Speaker 2 (02:18:06):
Yeah, I do too, so and again with what we
hear with the government shut down and other job losses,
this could be one of the things. She says, am
I the a hole for refusing to train my replacement
after I gave notice when I found out they're paying
her more than me. So here's what she did. She
went to her boss and she asked her raised twice.
They told her, no, we have budget constraints. You get

(02:18:29):
the two or three percent cost of living thing, but
not a real significant maybe ten or fifteen percent increase.
And she says she's a very very good employee, never late,
always productive, always ahead of schedule. So she accepted another
job with another company for a quote significantly more money.
She gave her standard two weeks notice and the boss

(02:18:50):
seemed fine with it. The next day, the boss said,
do you mind training the new person coming in? She says,
no problem whatsoever. She goes to lunch with the new
employ to sit and talk and kind of learn where
she is, and then finds out that the company paid
the new employee fifteen thousand dollars more than she was
getting paid. In other words, they gave her what should

(02:19:12):
have been the raise that the girl and at that
point she said, well, I'm not training you then. Yeah,
she told the boss at that point because of that,
I'm not going to train your employee now, because you
screwed me over and you lied to me. And she's
asking is she the a hole for doing that? She
is not the a hole. I don't think she is.

Speaker 7 (02:19:29):
But you also, when you, you know, burn a bridge,
you just understand that you know you're not that is
a resource no longer available to you.

Speaker 6 (02:19:38):
That happened to me in my first radio job.

Speaker 2 (02:19:39):
Did it really Yeah?

Speaker 6 (02:19:40):
Asked to train my replacement and I was like, no, thanks, y.

Speaker 2 (02:19:48):
Yeah, that is weird though, I mean, look she said
at first, no problem, because I mean she was like,
I'm leaving, I'm getting a better job. The boss is cool,
I'm giving my two weeks, I'm going protocol the entire way.

Speaker 6 (02:20:00):
So then we found out that the new girl is
getting the money that.

Speaker 2 (02:20:02):
She asks for and then some and then he she
confronted the boss about it, and the guy didn't have
anything to say. He just simply asked, are you still
going to train my employee?

Speaker 20 (02:20:11):
To what?

Speaker 2 (02:20:12):
She said? I am not, picked up her stuff and
left and then asked that question out like, I don't
think you are. I think that's perfectly fine. It's not
your job to train that person. They should have people
to do that for you or for her. Yeah, all right,
four oh seven nine one six one four to one.
Text us at seven seven zero three one doab what
do you have for news?

Speaker 8 (02:20:32):

Speaker 2 (02:21:30):
Visit one firm for life dot com.

Speaker 21 (02:21:39):
Hey Jenny, we're just talking about watches. You mentioned the
Rolex with Paul Newman. You might want to check that
could be a Tag Spoyer watch that Paul Newman war.
I think it was the Monico, something like the Monico
or something like that.

Speaker 2 (02:21:58):
Yeah, the Monica ID yep.

Speaker 21 (02:22:00):
All beautiful watches.

Speaker 8 (02:22:01):
I can't afford any of them.

Speaker 2 (02:22:02):
Yeah, take care beautiful. I mean the Monaco is. I
mean that's approachable. You can get that one for under
five grand. What I get it. I'm not to people
who like luxury watches. You can remember you spend five
thousand dollars on something that they would think is equally
is ridiculous. Right, No, I don't. I see good. I
didn't say you did the uh. But the thing is watches.

Speaker 7 (02:22:25):
I understand where they talk about things that women spend
money on and with guys there it's like cars and
watches and shoes, shoes, shoes, Oh yeah, definitely. But so
watch I just see that as like, yeah, okay, dude,
good on you.

Speaker 2 (02:22:43):
Yeah, there's some fashion stuff like the Blinciaga stuff and uh,
you know other the all. Everybody knows the brands that
are value. But the funny thing is is you really
don't like when you hear the brands like Hermes and
and uh you know, adults and Man's like and brands
like that. That's the stuff that you use the famous
rich people. But there are like the uber uber rich

(02:23:03):
people have brands that you've never even heard of, right,
and those businesses have been around for two hundred years, right,
making handmade suits or handmade shoes. They don't sell them retail.
You have to be part of a certain group that
even get access to that stuff. That's the stuff I'm
talking about. There are there are watchmakers out there that
nobody's ever heard of. You hear a role act cheer,
tag Hoyer. You'll hear a brightling. That's another one, brickling,

(02:23:25):
however you want to say it. But you know, there's
along a song, there's a jejues lecu. There's Brigaier or
oh god, what's a oh, I can't think of the
other one. It's brigherat something like that, or bread Day.
If your watch doesn't have a billboard or magazine ad,
there's no chance I've seen it. Yeah, but there's so
many brands out there that are made for the ultra
rich people. They're never marketed to everyday dudes, cause you're

(02:23:48):
not gonna walk into a place and drop, you know,
six hundred and seventy K on a watch. I realized it.
They are trip to Las Vegas. I was at the.

Speaker 7 (02:23:56):
Forum, which is the underground mall under Caesar's Palace, and
I just walked around and I just marvel. I had
the realization that, oh, there's a whole nother level of wealth.

Speaker 2 (02:24:09):
And you have to understand they're not saving up for that, right.
That's the thing that I think when you look at
actual wealth, that like people are like, well, I'm gonna
save up and I'm gonna buy myself a Louis bag.
People who like shop usually for that stuff. They don't.
There's no there's no saving up for that. I went
to the Herme store and the Flida mall or the
fancy mall here, and you're looking at blankets that cost
ten grand, throw pillows that are six thousand dollars apiece.

(02:24:33):
You know that you don't save up. What are you
gonna do that? You're gonna put your six thousand dollars
pillow and your three hundred thosand dollars, three hundred thousand
dollars house.

Speaker 5 (02:24:39):
That's when I pee myself, always leaving those stores laughing.

Speaker 2 (02:24:42):
Well, I have to pay that for Okay, You've never
felt anything softer in this blanket. For the record, You've
never in a baby's hair would seem like coarse sandpaper
compared to what this thing feels like. And by the way,
it's a horse blanket. You're actually supposed to put that
under your saddle on an animal.

Speaker 6 (02:24:57):
Yeah no, for ten k yeah no.

Speaker 2 (02:25:00):
All right, welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show. On Jim,
there's deb Jack is here as well. What do you want?
It's deb Let's do you heard it here first?

Speaker 3 (02:25:09):
Goods time for you heard it here first? On the
Jim Colbert Show.

Speaker 5 (02:25:14):
The Trump administration will allow the US to host a
new Katari Air Force facility in Idaho. According to Secretary
of War Pete Hegseth, the administration signed a letter green
lighting that building the facility where Cutter and mir Air
Force pilots will train to fly F fifteen's Hegsath says,
the new project with Cutter is quote just another example

(02:25:36):
of our partnership end quote. The facility will be located
at Mount Home Air Force Base, which already hosts Singapore's
Air Force F fifteen SG fighter jets.

Speaker 2 (02:25:47):
Oh real, that's cool.

Speaker 6 (02:25:48):
I did not know that.

Speaker 2 (02:25:49):
Yeah, all right.

Speaker 5 (02:25:50):
The murderer of a six year old boy in Kentucky
who was freed after serving only eight years, has been
rearrested here in central Florida on new charges. Marion County
Sheriff Lieutenant Paul Bloom said the state was tracking forty
two year old Ronald Exantis, who failed to register as
a relocated felon in a timely manner.

Speaker 15 (02:26:11):
And the outrage that we've seen from this nationally, I
think stems from a few things. It stems from the
seemingly loss of common sense in a judicial system in
some places to turn somebody like this back out into
the public.

Speaker 6 (02:26:23):
Yeah, Bloom says.

Speaker 5 (02:26:24):
Exantus served less than half of his twenty year sentence
when Kentucky paroled him for good behavior.

Speaker 2 (02:26:32):
They are whoever let that guy out, whoever's signature is
at the bottom of that form. Yeah, better hit his
knees every night. Thank god that guy didn't kill somebody
or cause damage while he was out.

Speaker 5 (02:26:42):
Seriously, now, the White House said earlier this week it
was quote looking into the case, end quote. And then finally,
some Los Angeles Lakers fans are not happy with Lebron
James so much so they're taking him to court. This week,
the superstar posted his highly anticipated quote second decision end
quote on social media, which fans believed might be a

(02:27:04):
retirement announcement, turned out to be an ad. Fans want
Lebron to compensate them for the premium tickets they purchased.
Oh no, yeah, expecting this this upcoming season to be
his last.

Speaker 8 (02:27:19):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (02:27:19):
The first decision, if you remember, came back in twenty ten,
when James announced he was moving from Cleveland to Miami.

Speaker 2 (02:27:25):
Take him a talents to Miami. Yep.

Speaker 6 (02:27:27):
James has not commented on the small claims court action.

Speaker 2 (02:27:31):
This shot and sit down. This is one of the
reasons I don't like this cat. Everybody's like, I don't
care for this guy. I mean, give me one hundred
Jordan's give me a give me one hundred kobies over
this guy get out of here.

Speaker 5 (02:27:42):
But to charge fans a premium paket just to see
an ad. That's he has this kind of stuff around
him all the time. It's always it's always something with
this guy.

Speaker 7 (02:27:51):
No, he did this whole you know, ad thing and
that kind of you know that's in and of itself
because someone thought.

Speaker 2 (02:28:00):
He was retiring and decided to buy tickets.

Speaker 7 (02:28:03):
It wasn't Lebron James setting the ticket price and charging
tickets and selling tickets to this guy. That guy did
it on his own because he thought that something was
going to happen because of the misdirection. You know what, Yeah,
it is kind of a cheap move to sell a
watcher bourbon. Whatever he's selling. I don't know what it is,

(02:28:23):
but guess what. Guess what, Michael Jordan, he's a dick.
Is the only reason we don't know more about it
is because of the time he lived in and social
media wasn't the same.

Speaker 2 (02:28:36):
Here's the thing that being a dick, but a winner,
I have no problem with that. This guy just seems nitty.
I don't know what it is. There's something about this guy, juvenile.
He's also a winner, all right. Who do we have
to think today? I'm gonna get away from this cat?
Jesus H did I say? You heard it here?
