Speaker 3 (01:21):
Because you're number one to us.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yes, Jack short, they're on the short one. I mean
some are number one, but there's some definitely that closer
to a number two. Everybody will notice that Jack is
extremely happy today in a very good mood.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
I did notice that. I can't do you.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Know why that is. It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing how much
I enjoyed this. I wondered if you realize how excited
you were when you came in to talk about this today,
and how you kind of opened up like, you know, yeah,
we had a lot of business going on, Jackson, I
lot us to do pops into the studio and he's
little hovering in place yep.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
Well, first I thought it was because of the salmon burger.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Oh yeah, he lunch like a big boy.

Speaker 5 (02:10):
Daniel, Yeah yeah, that's right, that's right. And then a
little shredded lettuce over that. And then I had opined
that the salmon burger was simply a holdover, just in
case the thing he's the most excited about today failed
him in any way, shape or for him.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
And it turns out it didn't fail.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
It did not. It continues to give. Today was the
grand opening of the brand new Bjy's Wholesale over in
the Castle area, the Castle very slash Fern Park area.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. And so Jack, for people who
are familiar with that area of town, seventeen ninety two
and uh four thirty four, four thirty six therea that's right,

(02:50):
there's a big shopping center that's been a number of things.
At one point, it was hot and it was cold.
It was hot again, and now put the flyover. I
think it got really cold. Yeah. So now it's a
BJ's wholesale and it is literally just a few minutes
away from Jack's house. It is their gas opened up.
I filled up with guess two fifty four gallon today
not bad. Yeah, and then I'm like, I gotta go.

(03:15):
They close at seven, so I can't go after work.
I'm like, all right, let's just go walk around. And
of course every parking spot was full. Oh yeah, you did.
They probably do. They do a lot of grand opening
sales and then they like almost conjunction Black Friday or something,
you know what they had. They had some specials. I
don't know if any were associated with the fact that
they were opened. I know anyone who made a purchase,

(03:37):
they were giving them a like a reusable big tote
with something in it. Let's cool. I wanted one so bad.
I wanted to go. I put. I wanted to find
out what was inside.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Before you made the preace.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
I didn't buy anything, you remember, Yeah, I got. I
did the membership. They had a special getting the membership.
You say, it was like, you know, seventy five percent
off to get the membership for the first year.

Speaker 6 (03:58):
I have to do it.

Speaker 5 (03:58):
I wish that they had way to to open just
two more days so we could have, you know, got
that membership for you as your Christmas.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
I would love to see you beat that.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
I'm good for the year. You said. It's actually unique though,
because BJ's like the other like wholesale places the box,
like Costco SAMs, they both have liquor stores. Yes, and
you said. The cool thing about the BJ's liquor stores
the fact that you actually don't have to be a
member to enjoy the prices that their liquor store offers.
It is open to the public. Yes, yeah, I think
Sam's used to be like that too. I know Costco

(04:27):
you have to show your card, but with BJ's you
just he said, it's open to the public. They have
a lottery uh kioskin there, so you can. Actually I
bought my power Ball ticket in the Bjay's liquor store.
Yeah that's crazy. Yeah. So and and that's at the
front of the store. It's a separate entrance. You can
just go in and uh, you know, and check out
the great prices on the I literally have only been

(04:50):
into one bjs, the one out in Sandford, and I
went in because there was a promotion thing where you
could go in without a card. I just wanted to
see what it looked like. Yeah, it was strikingly some
similar to your other big box stores. Do you I mean,
is there a reason you chose that one over? Are
you also a member at others. Well, you're also a
Costco member, you have a Costco membership, it's not it's
the company one. So I just you know, it allows

(05:12):
me to do that, and I kind of work that
on my way home. But but it's in Altamont. The
BJS is like you mentioned, it's just you know, it's
close a lot closer to my home, whereas that will
be my spot to get gas because it's my neighbor.
It's closer to my neighbor. They took that. There was
an old seven eleven in that corner up there, so
they just use that. That just kind of reappropriated. That

(05:33):
is the building still there. No, they tore the They
actually tore the seven eleven down. The pumps are just there.
Yeah yeah, wow crazy.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
This is down four thirty six. Yes, far from the yep, yep, yeah, okay, yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Sure enough, just down from the out to my mall. Yeah,
across from Rachel steakhouse, yes, steak right where you read
the articles where they don't do anything else. And a
crossroom where the SAMs used to be wow, which is
now a flooring. What percentage of our our audience do
you believe is members are members of those box stores
like that, one of the three big wholesale I bet

(06:04):
it's a relatively high number, right, you think, because I know,
if you have a big family, it's almost silly not
to be a member of one of those. I would,
and I say big. I mean, I think if you
have two or three kids, you know, and they're teenagers,
I mean, it's almost impossible to feed them any other way.
And there you could pop in there and get like
bags of chicken breast and and you know, get hamburger
at like a half price. You're getting it from other
grocery stores. So the challenge is when you find those

(06:27):
prices but you don't need it in bulk, And the
closest I've found to that to date has been all
ther At getting similar items at the same price at
like Costco. The thing about bjs is they're more focused
on the grocery aspect of it, and you don't have
to buy as much in bulk really able to get

(06:48):
you know, savings on groceries.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
That's why we're the we're members of BJ's but not
Costco or Sam's Cold because we don't we don't need.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
It would take us ten years to get through it.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Right, is that they're laying. Is that kind of where
they market? Is that space right there? Because that's brilliant.
So because I mean Sam's at Costco are like identical,
Yes they are, and but there are some like little differences,
you know, on the type of products, because I think
all of these stores, at least I know with with
Costco and probably Sam's, they have manufacturers make stores that

(07:18):
are exclusive to their to Costco. Right, all right, you
know so, and but it's other names sort of. Then
they have their own brand, so they white label stuff.
They can put interesting brand on it. Interesting. I'm just
getting familiar with that US model. Yeah, all right? Four
O seven nine four one text seven to seven zero
three one. How brand loyal are you, guys to specific

(07:41):
things that you only obviously with me? Like I am
unbelievably brand loyal to PEPSI. I will drink PEPSI like
if that's the choice of soda, I like, I will
drink That's what I drink every single time? Are you
brand loyal to something?

Speaker 3 (07:55):
To most things?

Speaker 5 (07:56):
But other times I can relax, Like I don't mind
Public's q T. Right, I got you, I got your quality,
but a lot cheaper than the yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, you don't feel that's funny. Q Tip is something
I would never go with an alternate brand on because
like you get the cheaper brand and it's like putting
a stick in your ears exactly.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
But the public's brand isn't so like all the public
sugar public Q tips.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
But in terms of soda, straight coke, gotcha.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
Okay, so you're not going to see check Colamas yet.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
I'm about to make the bag yet. I'm about to
make the biggest switch I've ever made, like when it
comes to brands. Oh no, I'm not going coke, that
is not I'm not there yet. But like, so, my
computer is not doing well right, and this is the
life of the program. Like everything that I work all
morning on goes on this machine here. This is a

(08:44):
twenty sixteen Mac. I've already put two screens on it,
and the battery is swelling to the point where it's
busting the bottom out of it. And now, oh that's
not frightening.

Speaker 5 (08:53):
No, it has lithium ion battery fire come to mind.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
It's glitching also where occasionally I have to just kind
of restart it because it won't run certain things. So
I know it's on the cusp, and I'm this is
the one thing I'm really planning for where I don't
have this thing shut down and have me freak out
yelling at Sean to get me something. So I am,
I'm getting a new computer.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
He means code black.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
I t By the way, Yeah, yeah, I do that,
you're but so so. As I was talking this morning
to my wife about that, she goes, well, do you
need a Mac And I'm like, well, I don't. I mean,
this one has all kinds of art design stuff on it.
It's very powerful. This was like the top of the
line computer actually was passed down for my wife from
her work. I didn't buy it just for this, but

(09:35):
I just, you know, I do research for the show.
That's all I do. I'm not designing anything. I don't
need any like any super big software or whatever. And
I actually today made the decision I'm I'm going to
a PC that I'm not gonna be a Macintosh person anymore.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (09:50):
Man.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
And when you start looking around at prices, like if
you're a parent out there and you're buying a laptop
and your kid is asking for a Mac, slap him
in the face.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
I have a Lenovo.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Slap that's what I'm getting. I'm I love that's what
I use. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there is no reason I
looked up to replace this thing today. For one thing,
just replacing it with a used one is ridiculous. But
replacing this machine today that is a twenty seven hundred
to thirty two hundred dollars bill. Right, do you know
what a Lenovo that does the exact same thing as
this that's not a Mac four ninety nine code Black

(10:21):
tells me. He goes, if you have a Mac, if
you're not a designer, or if you don't run like Adobe,
the Adobe Suite where you have to use like you know,
Photoshop or illustrator or something like that. He said, it's
a status symbol. That's it. People who have macintoshes as
laptop computers, if they're not designers or specifically use it
for something that is really designed for it is a

(10:41):
complete sat social status.

Speaker 5 (10:44):
So in other words, you will be able to still
do pick the porn on your Lenovo.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
You'll be able to do all that, and then you'll
see that battery swell. That's not a battery swell and
big dog. But yeah, man, that's that, and that's a
big change. I'm actually a little nervous about it. I've
never had I was telling Jack, I've never had a
laptop that hasn't been a Macintosh, So it's kind of
weird for me.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Step down and hang amongst us.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
This thing is like terrible. I would like's rather have
your Litovo. I use both because at home I have
an iMac that's like my computer, and it's lasted more
than ten years. I mean, that thing's at the end
of its time. I can't even update anything anymore.

Speaker 8 (11:21):
Oh wow.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah. And then my work computer, which I use for
ninety five percent of what I do, and it's a
Lenovo think Pad and it's great. Yeah it could. Blake
tells me Lenov's are like bulletproof, and I mean they're very
good computers. They have all the components you need for
what I do. Yeh. They're way cheaper, way easier to fix,
way easier to replace stuff on. Uh so we're we're
doing that. I actually probably wound up getting it this weekend.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
Do you need this to hold your hand?

Speaker 2 (11:45):
No? No, no, no, are you sure? But I only
need to back up stuff. I am a little nervous,
that's the thing is, like, I'm trying to back up
stuff that goes on too from a Mac onto a
Windows machine. Yeah, you're you're getting a lot of warnings
with this. You've been getting warnings that this is going away.
I need to protect your information. I understand that, Jack,
Thank you so much. Now, fortunately most of this stuff

(12:05):
has saved in the cloud. I can't speak for what
you do with that machine, Jack, I don't think anyone
knows how to think. You know, I have bad news. Yeah.
How long do you think it's been since I've updated
the machine to the cloud or backed up my machine
to the cloud?

Speaker 3 (12:20):
Year and a half?

Speaker 2 (12:21):
How many days is that? That would be four or
five hundred? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (12:28):
Am I on the low end?

Speaker 8 (12:30):
Jack?

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Would you like to take your shot a god a
thousand days? I'll go. I got the update this morning.
It's a little embarrassing. I'm gonna be honest with you.

Speaker 5 (12:40):
Hey, Jack just shared his BJ story going to the
grand opening.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Sorry. Sorry, How can I tell the number.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
That's not on the menu, sir?

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Is there somewhere you can got to tell you the
exact number. Yeah, Like, if you go to look updated,
it'll say last updated. If you go into the about
it should say last updated.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Or did it just say don't bother.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
I think it's sixteen hundred days? Here you go, good boy.
I think it's four and a half or five years.
Oh yeah, I got that system report.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Nothing to worry about here, folks.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah, System Report. Oh god? Oh is it bad that
it says the date and then says BC.

Speaker 10 (14:16):

Speaker 11 (14:24):
Good afternoon, Jim show, Prints of the Islands. Jimmy, welcome
to the wall of pieces and windows. And you need
to change a phone too, and phone get a some song, trifle,
but just get a fifteen some song. You'll see the
wall of difference.

Speaker 12 (14:44):
Everything works better.

Speaker 11 (14:45):
I don't trust Apple because they always got in a line.
They always expend.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Tradition continuous.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
I mean, you gotta knew about seventeen seconds in he's
I can better wrap it up and he barely gets
barely misses get hit my bus apparently. I think he
was going over train trans bloody. Appreciate it. Text us

up for all of the advice. Thank you very much.
I am Jim. Jacket is right over there and deb

(15:15):
has your news. It's time for JCS news.

Speaker 9 (15:21):
Wow, this guy got to put his name on everything.

Speaker 5 (15:23):
It's in my contracted the news on the Jim Colberg Show,
and we're not surprised. I have to remind him JCS
news is brought to you by that mortgage guy don.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
So we remembered, Yeah, that's exactly what it is.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
Well, we can't count on his computer to tell him.

Speaker 5 (15:39):
Nick Reiner appeared in a Los Angeles court today, formally
charged for the stabbing deaths of his parents. His lawyer
spoke outside the courthouse following the appearance.

Speaker 7 (15:48):
There are very very complex and serious issues that are
associated with this case. They just need to be thoroughly
but very careful dealt with and examined and looked at
and analyzed.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
Prosecutors say.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
The thirty two year old murdered Hollywood director Rob Reiner
and Michelle Reiner and their Brentwood home on Sunday. You guys,
it's only about a mile from where Nicole Brown Simpson
and Ron Goldman were murdered.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yeah, it's crazy. What do you think is the motivation
for a high power, expensive attorney to jump on a
case like this? Is it publicity? Is it just a paycheck?

Speaker 13 (16:29):
Even?

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Yeah, publicity for sure, because even if they get this
guy life sentences or not, like if they get him
off on an insanity Yeah, that's a plus. I mean,
this guy murdered his mom and dad, or murdered his
dad and his stepmom yeah, or was that his mom mom?

Speaker 6 (16:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yeah, yeah, that so mean.

Speaker 5 (16:44):
Yeah, he's also defended like Kevin Spacey, So he's had
very high profile clients in the past.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
So what I'm saying is there's an ILK. There's an
ILK of people who do that. Yeah, I mean who
liked those high profile cases. I mean Mark Marah, Yeah,
Mark Ardashian R. Yeah. But it is the attraction to
the publicity aspect of it. Did you see the mob
surrounding him as he was walking into the courthouse today, Yeah,

(17:11):
there must have been thirty people around him with cameras
and stuff. Is it an ego thing? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (17:16):
You.

Speaker 5 (17:17):
Nick Reiner appeared in a suicide prevention best and his
defense lawyers requested no video or images to be taken
of him. His lawyer asked the media to avoid a
quote rush to judgment end quote. Nick Reiner is being
charged with two counts of first degree murder. He did
not enter a plea, nor did he speak, and the
judge said his arraignment will be continued to January seventh.

(17:37):
In the meantime, the family of director Rob Reiner and
his wife Michelle say words can't describe the unimaginable pain
they are experiencing every moment of the day, and his
statement that Jake and romy Reiners said Robin Michelle were
more than parents, they were their best friends, among others.
They also asked for privacy and for their parents to
be remembered for the incredible.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
Lives they lived all right in our lane.

Speaker 5 (18:00):
Wid family is back home after a visiting Brown University
on the day of a campus shooting.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
Nothing says college trip like that, right.

Speaker 5 (18:08):
Samuel Miller told WESH two that he and his family
were at the Rhode Island School to visit with the
football program when a gunman killed two students and injured
nine others on Saturday. The family was taken to a
central location in the Athletic center as the active shooter
emergency call went out. Miller says one of his sons,
who's heading back to Brown next semester, will probably forever

(18:29):
be affected. Meanwhile, the search for the suspected Brown University
shooter is now in.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Its fifth day.

Speaker 5 (18:35):
Wow, they did just release some better enhanced video thing
that that will get some more tips as to who
this person can be. I can't imagine between his gait
and his size that somebody somewhere doesn't kind of recognize, kind.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
Of thought they had a name when they do, but
I guess not. Don't listen agage, I trust me it wasn't.

Speaker 5 (18:53):
A jerry has convicted a Sumpter County man and the
shooting death of a convenience store clerk. Twenty six year
old Alex Lopez is accused of killing the Leesburg convenience
store clerk in May of twenty twenty four. The jury
started deliberations a little after nine o'clock this morning, and
a little afternoon had already come back with their verdict.
Lopez faces life in prison, and that's because the store

(19:15):
clerk's widow felt that the death penalty would be too
easy of a punishment and that at only twenty six
years old, the real punishment would be languishing the rest
of your life behind prison, all right. A Sanford police
officer is accused of organized fraud. Man Investigators say Ronnie
Neil charged the city for working off.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
Duty, but he fabricated the details.

Speaker 5 (19:36):
Charges against the veteran officer also include dozens of third
degree misconduct felonies. Chief Cecil Smith said Neil chose day
after day to lie, cheat and steal, which tarnished the
trust the agency had built. He's facing at least seventy
nine or eighty charges for every time he entered a
fraudulent shift. Chief Smith also said that among many hats

(19:58):
that Ronnie Neil had at the Sanford Police Department, one
of them was the lie Detector test guide. Oh my goodness,
to which Chief Smith said, imagine that sat.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
All right.

Speaker 5 (20:11):
A federal judge has allowed most of a First Amendment
lawsuit to move forward from a former Florida wildlife biologist
who said she was fired over a social media post.
US District Judge Mark Walker ruled the claims against officials
with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission can proceed,
finding a lawsuit plausibly alleges retaliation of for protected speech now.

(20:34):
The biologist was terminated after reposting content on her personal
Instagram account following the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
The judge dismissed a portion of the case seeking monetary damages,
but allowed claims seeking reinstatement to continue.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Wow all right.

Speaker 5 (20:53):
Florida is set to roll out new restrictions on snap
purchases starting next April. Under a federal pilot program, recipients
will no longer be able to buy soda, energy drinks, candy,
or prepared desserts with their benefits.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
I can't say I this, Yeah, but I always especially
it's cheaper. I don't have a problem with it at all,
but I always thought that that was the case to
begin with. I never thought that you could do that
with with Snap benefits or food stamps to begin with.

Speaker 5 (21:21):
I think it would be better to take off the
junk food and allow parents to use Snap benefits and
applying to things like diapers.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
Yeah, that makes much more sense.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
So it's the it's not prepared. I think it's prepared
meals you can't get with Snap. Yeah, I know that,
but for what I always thought that sugary. I always
thought that that was already on there, like candy and
things of that nature were not allowed. But I'm not
sure obviously.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
Long Yeah, so, state officials say the goal is to
cut back on unhealthy food choices. The changes will remain
in effect for two years while the state then tracks
the results.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
And like you said, you know, so who's behind that?
Is that federally or just in Florida.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
It's under a federal pilot program. Yeah, so, so Florida's
you know, joining in on it. And I think to
help that is, you know, if you've got a vacant
lot in a neighborhood that's kind of a food desert.
Grow a community garden where people can get fresh fleet garden,
fleet garden. Absolutely, I love those all right. A consolidation
plan within Orange County Schools is moving forward. The school

(22:21):
board gave the go ahead yesterday to explore the options
more in depth. The decision comes as enrollment in the
school district has dropped close to how many students in
four years don't go Craig Cray twenty thousand, oh, nine thousand. Yeah,
but still nine thousand students in four years. That's a

(22:42):
whole lot of money they're losing.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
Sure is are the four schools they're going to either
closet of seven.

Speaker 5 (22:47):
Six elementary schools and one middle school are currently being
considered for closure. The closures will take effect during the
twenty six twenty seven school year.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Goodness, the demolition of the state is still grow.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
Yes, yeah, exactly. But again it's the charter school.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Charter school, man, it's the vouchers. That's one of I
know there were a couple of reasons, but that's that's
a huge compulsion.

Speaker 8 (23:10):
Huge.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
I mean again, this is just Orange County. You've got
Duval County up there with Jacksonville Duvall. They're consolidating at
least four schools. So you're seeing this happen all over
the state of Florida right now.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah, all right.

Speaker 5 (23:22):
The demolition of a Rockledge hospital is entering a second
phase this week. Cruise are on hand to tear down
Orlando Health Rockledge Hospital after it closed in neglectful conditions
earlier this year. I think someone texted us earlier when
we talked about this story at seven seven zero three one, saying, yeah,
there are bats in the surgical suite.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
Oh man.

Speaker 5 (23:40):
Now, the plan is to give the land back to
the city of Rockledge, which is supporting the idea of
still using it for health care purposes. Tis the season
to get your flu shot, but this year one strain
is outsmarting the vaccine. FIU Infectious disease expert doctor Eileen
Marty says the new flu strain is challenging the flu
SHOT's effectiveness, causing a spike in hospitalizations.

Speaker 14 (24:02):
Taking the vaccine bill is protective against all three of
the influenza viruses that are out there, just not quite
as good as you wish. Against the hBN two that's circulating.

Speaker 5 (24:15):
Right now, and you always forget. We always think it's
the flu, but it's usually like two, three, four strains
that are floating around. So doctor Marty says it's too
late to tweak the flu vaccine because they make that
in the spring, but taking the shot will still reduce
your risk of getting seriously ill. And she adds the
flu can be deadly if you don't take the vaccine,
even if you're a healthy adult, but you end up,

(24:38):
you know, getting complications like pneumonia or something else.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
So John, and if it doesn't block it completely, it's
a failure, doesn't work. Coach flu hoax, vaccine hoax.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
Did you get your flu shot this year? Jimmy, No, no, no, no, no,
I did not, but I think you did.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Jet. Yeah, I haven't gotten one in a while. I
got the coach. I haven't got one in a while.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
Now, Yeah, did you get your flu shot?

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Not this year? R like the past couple of years
I've had it. Yeah, And this would be the time,
you know, now's the time. I think peak season is
mid February, Florida. And they say for once you get
the shot for the maximum protection, it takes two weeks,
so you definitely if you can't. If you're going to
get it, get it before the end of the year.
If not, definitely before the end of January.

Speaker 5 (25:20):
I was gonna say, And even even if you wait
for the two weeks of effectiveness, if you're going to
be around a lot of family and friends, with you know,
Christmas being next week and then oh yeah, and then
New Year's you might want to if not just protect yourself,
but maybe if older family members you're going to.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Be here now, those relatives, those filthy pigs from out
of town. Easy, it's filthy pigs.

Speaker 5 (25:40):
Forecasters are calling for a chance of rain finally here
in central Florida. Front is expected to move into the
area Thursday night and early Friday morning, bringing about a
thirty percent chance of rain. Rain is also possible today
along the coast due to the east west winds. Highs
are going to be in the high seventies, high seventies.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
Low eighties. Christmas time, Yeah, yeah, all right.

Speaker 5 (26:02):
College football's bowl season continues tonight with a game right
here in Orlando. Old Dominion will take on South Florida
and the Cure Bowl. Both teams ended the regular season
with a record of nine to three. Tonight's game is
that Camping World Stadium kicked off is a five thirty.
The game will be broadcast on ESPN.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Probably did not know that monster really yeah, I did
not know that. Oh monsters are out there right now,
are they?

Speaker 11 (26:24):
Really?

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yeah? Oh okay. I haven't paid attention to any of
the bowld game stuff, not even a little bit, not
even a little bit of college football.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Yeah, you've been all NFL.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
Do not know even who is the number one ringing?
Is it Ohio State or Indiana? And that's the big story.
I mean, I don't know. I don't know. I just
know about this because we've been promoting it for last month.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
I thought it was Indiana.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yeah, I thought there is what I know about Indiana
and I just saw this at six right. It's just
a great story how they went from like worse to first.
Oh it's pretty cool.

Speaker 15 (26:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (26:56):
So but there you go, Caure, Well all right, I
don't know if if you heard this, Jack, Jim and
I were talking about this before the show.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
But take care of the new home for the.

Speaker 5 (27:05):
Oscars now the ceremony. The Oscars are headed to YouTube.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Really yeah.

Speaker 5 (27:13):
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences agree to
a multi year deal that will give YouTube the exclusive
global rights to the Academy Awards. Academy CEO Bill Kramer
and Academy President Lynnette Howell Taylor say the new partnership
will quote be beneficial for our Academy members and the
film community end quote, aka reach out to younger viewers,

(27:34):
as it will offer an opportunity to expand access to
the largest worldwide audience possible. Right, lots of people have YouTube,
not everybody has. ABC YouTube CEO Neil Mohan said the
partnership will quote inspire a new generation of creativity and
film lovers while staying true to the oscars storied legacy

(27:54):
end quote. ABC does have the rights to the telecast
through twenty twenty eight, but getting in twenty twenty nine,
the one hundred first Oscar Ceremony will be available on
YouTube for free and run through twenty thirty three.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
This is really interesting something you just said there, saying
more people have access to YouTube than they do ABC
because for the longest time, the networks are free over
the air and anyone can have access if you have
a device with an antenna. Yes, but is it true
that more people have access to YouTube than they do

(28:31):
network broadcast television.

Speaker 5 (28:33):
I think personally, this is a move to try and
get the millennial zoomers and alphas who are not watching
broadcast TV and bring them back on board with the
Academy Awards, giving them the format that they're already watching anyway.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
I well, I agree it's a smart move for them,
but I'm just wondering is the reach? What is the
reach of YouTube compared to just network television, because I
assume that there's a on the VENN diagram, there's a
lot overlap. So if you have ABC, anyone with network
television probably also has access to YouTube. But there's plenty

(29:06):
of people with access to YouTube that just don't have
a network television because if you're streaming only and you
don't get a TV service or having an antenna like
I do, then you're not getting the network.

Speaker 5 (29:17):
But think of how many young people are just watching
YouTube on their phones, you know, their laptops.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
There are many how many people on the planet do
you believe are YouTube subscribe active YouTube subscribers or excuse me,
active users?

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Tune and a half billion?

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Oh that's a good one two billion. Yeah, it's two
point seven to two point eight five billion people, so
almost half of well, not half, but about a third
of the population of Earth.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
So they'll be able to watch.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Yeah. So also that you don't have to worry about
editing it.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Yeah, stream you don't have the network rules.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
And with modern day television, it's just another channel. Yeah yeah,
sure is right. It's just you just bring up YouTube
on your TV. It's not like it used to be
where it's like, how am I going to get it
to the television. I'll tell you exactly what it was
like when Thursday Nights Football got picked up by Amazon.
It was just remembering, oh, this is on Amazon. Yeah,
because you're so used to network TV having all the
shows or ESPN. But now you just go to your

(30:14):
and you're like, oh, yeah, forgot this one's on Amazon.
You just bring up Amazon watch show if you have Amazon.
So I didn't get to watch, but I went to
put on Monday Night Football, but ABC wasn't carrying it.
It was only on the ESPN, right, which you do
not have, which I do not have. So it was like,
all right, screw you Dolphins.

Speaker 5 (30:31):
But what's interesting is just yesterday we talked about how
Instagram is now coming to our TV and the oscars
are going to YouTube. So what used to be social
media platforms purely are now reaching even deeper into you know.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
I think you're just seeing all the screens we have
are kind of becoming the same, the same with the
same features available.

Speaker 5 (30:51):
I mean, you know, if they can put if the
reels that end up on Instagram TV are the same
ones that you'd be watching on your phone, it doesn't
cost a meta anything to produce them because they're content
creators that are creating them. It just it'll be interesting
to call out which is going to be the next
social media app that's going to become something that you
have on your televisions in street.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
The streaming programming go through the FCC like broadcast no,
So that means that you can you know, theoretically that
means all of those As you're acclimating yourself to the
streaming services, you can also realize that your network TV
shows or your I'm doing networking air quotes could have,
you know, content that would never make it on network TV.
It real quick, it's t'ssibly free, real quick. There's a

(31:30):
text or evil eye says I don't want to sit
in front of my monitor, Sir, you don't have to
because I just saw this at BJ's wholesale today. Four
one hundred and ninety nine dollars a seventy five inch
Q lead TV. Baby. That's all you need and it'll
have the YouTube back exactly.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
We watch YouTube all the time on TV at home.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
All right, cool, real quick, that's half of what I
paid for my sitting films.

Speaker 5 (31:53):
Zillow is naming Santa Claus, Indiana, Okay, as the most
festive town in the US now. The real estate website
analyzed home listings featuring holiday related keywords think Christmas Florida
to rank the ten most festive towns in the US,
and the list bands communities all the way from California
to Pennsylvania. Santa Claus, Indiana took the top spot with

(32:13):
more than half of its listings referencing the holiday spirit,
and the town is even equipped with Santa's post office.
Each December, the town also say three weekend celebration featuring lights,
ice skating, and of course, chestnuts.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
On an open fire. And you know, Christmas.

Speaker 5 (32:30):
Florida says they get letters every year mailed from Europe
with cards inside of an envelope seeing please mail these back?

Speaker 2 (32:37):
Wow, really, because they want.

Speaker 5 (32:38):
The Christmas stand absolutely and that concludes your JCS newsav.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
All right, seven seven zero three one. That's how you
text us, We'll take a little break more than Jim
coreword show right after this.

Speaker 16 (33:03):
Hat p Olbert through it, Sarah, what's happening? So I
work at publics and I've worked at some locations where
EBT is the primary source of income, and it's really
discouraging as a cake decorator to create these beautiful cakes,
graduation cakes, even whiting cakes. And these people with EBT
go straight and complain and make the biggest hoopla just

(33:25):
to go get that gift card publics gives them because
they can't return EVT back on their card, and then
they just buy lado and alcohol.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
Hey bye.

Speaker 17 (33:34):
Not that long ago, I was watching a YouTube video
of mud Vein at the Oscars.

Speaker 9 (33:43):
They did dig Way.

Speaker 17 (33:44):
It's one of their most intense songs. The funniest part
of it was watching the faces of the stars.

Speaker 6 (33:51):
It was great.

Speaker 9 (33:54):
Who is the grinches least favorite band?

Speaker 10 (34:00):
Of course.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
I appreciate that, laugh, buddy, Thank you very much. All
right for seven nine six rod four one text seven
to seven zero three one. Welcome back on Jim. There's dead,
but no Jack is here as well. What's up? Are
you guys familiar with the band mud Vein? Yeah, a
little bit so in the uh, I want to say
the mid nineties is where they kind of broke out,
and they had a song called Dig from an album

(34:25):
called I believe LD fifty LD stands for Lethal Dose.

Speaker 13 (34:30):
Uh and uh.

Speaker 18 (34:31):
It was.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
They were a way different band. Nobody'd ever seen anything
like that and song Jack, if you have that mighty chance,
dig from mud Vein. And it was interesting watching them
play that because it's like when some of those bands
like Slipknot go to the Jimmy Fallon Show or Kimmel
and they play on the street. Watching normal people react
to a band like Slipknot or one of these major
metal bands like that is hilarious. But this song is

(34:54):
gonna This song is a mental breakdown to a to
a drum solo. So I have some mud Vein, I
don't dig. That's their first hit they probably already cycled out.
Yeah yeah, crazy cool band though, And I got to
interview the guitar player and I believe the bass player
at one point because the guitar player had another band
or wasn't another band with I believe Zach Wilde and
some other guys. Anyway, enough of that metal so fun

(35:19):
though again four seven nine one six one four one.
So I saw something on Reddit this morning because I
was kind of rolling through and programming the show. I
thought was kind of interesting. We try to throw a
little something out for the texting service throughout the day
so they can kind of chime in. And this was
an easy list for me to begin. And I wonder
if it's the same for you guys, and why I
think this is a little bit of a social experiment,

(35:42):
all right, And here's the question. You ready, what's a
movie that was so heavy or disturbing but you loved it,
but you won't ever watch it again. A movie that
you loved that you thought was an incredible movie, but
because of the content of the movie or something of
that nature, you can't watch it against Schindler's list was
on my list as well. Yeah, but you never watched

(36:03):
the whole thing. Yeah, I did watch the entire thing.
I've never seen it. Yeah, I walked out in the theater,
but wound up watching it like when it came on
TV or whatever, because I wanted to finish it.

Speaker 7 (36:11):
Up.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
So I did wind up seeing the entire thing.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
But you won't watch it again.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
I will not watch it again. I've seen it once.
That's enough. I don't need to go through that emotional
roller coaster of that again.

Speaker 5 (36:20):
Another film that I've never seen because I knew it
would be too difficult was The Passion.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Of the Christ.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yeah, I have seen the Passion of the Christ.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
I knew. I was like, yeah, no, I can't watch it.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
I will tell you why I watched it. It was
kind of funny because I was on the Monster Show
at that time and they thought the evil baby looked
like me. So I watched it to see if the
evil baby looked like me. It was pretty close.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
Evil baby.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Yeah, there's an evil baby or something that were walking around.
The baby's like a demon or something. And they when
they scroll by it, it makes a face and they
said it looked like me. I agreed with him, it
did a little bit. Jack, you have a list of this?
I got one. Now, I can't. I can't think of
any that even emotionally hit you. I give you one.
I'll give you one that's interesting because none of mine

(37:04):
are like gross like, none of mine are that like
like you know, I can't watch it because it's too
gross whatever the exer ones that make it, you know,
feel the Exorcist. Oh yeah, I would never watch that
movie again. I will never ever watch it. Like last year,
because I've never seen that, I watch it, I'm like,
oh that was good. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. It
probably hit different in the seventies. Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 5 (37:24):
They had people passing out and growing up and all
kind kinds of things.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
Also, if you're a guy and you grow up in
like a really strict Christian church where that they talk
about that demonic possession of things, you know, watching an
old dresser walk across the room and block a door
was not in my repert twelve things to see that see.
That tripped me the f out And for about a
month all I did was watch my dresser and my
furniture in my bedroom, waiting for it to just pick
up and roll around the room on its own. Well

(37:48):
you are the demon, baby, Yeah yeah, people texting the substance.
I mean, I'm fine with I could watch it again.
I enjoyed the movie. Was like that's a game changer
for him. Yeah, yeah, I thought it was good. I
just thought it got really weird, but almost comically weird
at the end. The the other one they had was

(38:11):
Saving Private Ryan, which is that first twenty minutes is
real brutal. You know, I could watch it again. And
the thing that makes those movies a little difficult, like
with Schindler's List, is you know that's true, that happened, Yes,
the servity of humanity, you know, humanity at its worst.
You're seeing another one for me more best at time
that is kind of weird as well, And I have

(38:31):
no connection or why. It's just an unbelievably sad movie
and it's acted very well by two major stars. And
that's Leaving Las Vegas, where Nick Cage is a failed
businessman who is losing his career, lost his job because
of alcoholism, and he sells everything and moves to Las
Vegas to drink himself to death, and he meets a

(38:54):
prostitute that's played by Elizabeth Shoe. Shoe who was like
a eric Is baby at that time, you know, did
to a cocktail with Tom Cruise and uh, you know
a bunch of other movies like that that where she
was really kind of like a teeny bopper and then
turns into a Vegas Prostitute. It is a moving movie,
but you can't. I can't watch it again.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
I've never seen it.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
Oh it's nuts.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
I've heard descriptions of it that made me go, yeah, no,
I'm good.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
It's crazy. I mean, there's one scene in that movie
that is that is pretty pretty gnarly dude and you,
And again, the thing that sucks about it is you're like,
somebody out there is living this existence. Someone out there
is a prostitute and they have to do these things
to either fuel their their addiction, addiction or whatever the
case may be. But there's some people doing that. And

(39:41):
another one for me, just because of my relationship with
my dad was Dead Poet Society is another one. It's
hard for me to watch. I have seen it like
two times, but I wouldn't watch it again. Now I understand, like, okay,
so there's an aversion if you don't want to watch them.
There there's an aversion to something in the movie. And
it runs you if something or a Pimid's gore or something.

(40:04):
But it seems like for you sometimes it's just that
that those personal feelings sports and emotion might be a
red flag that say that's something you want to investigate. Yeah,
maybe so, Jack, Maybe so. There's no question, no question. Look,
I'm not trying to be a dick. I'm just saying they, hey, nobody, look, hey,

(40:24):
trust me. I take that with a grain of salt.
And the reason why is because I probably know that
that has that's had some lasting effects on me as
a you know, as a man moving into my late
fifties and stuff. But there are a number of these
movies that have no gore, there's no gross shots whatever
that I can't watch just because the content of it
just stirs up so much in me that I went
through as a young man or through my life coming up.

(40:46):
And I'm sure everybody comparallel with that. There is a
scene in Reservoir Dogs that I just if I watch
the movie, I'm pressed for it. Yeah, I'm just or
at least like kind of looking around the corner of
the room. I'm dying to hear what people believe because
I've looked over I've seen all the like seven, Like
I could watch seven back to back to back to back.
It doesn't hit me like that, but for some people
it will.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
Requiem for a Dream is another one that keeps coming up.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
Right, Yeah, Yeah, that's another one. That's the drug movie.
I've heard. I heard it's intense. I have not seen
the movie. Yeah, same here, but there are a number
of them out there. But again, for me, I thought
the interesting part of the argument had nothing to do
with the movie providing imagery that was too difficult to watch.
It was for me that it was the line, the storyline,
or the emotion of the movie not making you watch

(41:29):
it because it just stirs up too much stuff. Obviously
the Gore thing. I could name ten of those that
I will watch again because it just doesn't really provide
any entertainment for me. It doesn't have that value.

Speaker 5 (41:39):
But Sophie's choice, someone else, Sophie's choice brutal.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. All day seven seven zero three one.
Love to hear yours as well, Jack, We have the
question of the day is as well. Yeah, it's posted.
It's simple and we're already getting a good response on it.
Do you play an instrument? And it's a simple question,
But I have a reason why we're asking that question.
A fascinating piece today in NPR about how important music

(42:05):
is to the human species, showing some incredible therapy and
outside of the stuff we already know, showing some incredible
therapeutic possibilities for people with traumatic head injuries and autism
and things of that nature. So that's right. We'll go
over that a little bit later today as well. Again,
that's seven to seven zero three one. Back in a
second with Animal House here on the Jim Colbert Show.

(42:36):
Welcome back to The Jim Colbert Show, Real Radio one
four point one. Thanks so much for tuning in today.
We appreciate that, guys, a lot of choices out there.
Thanks for picking us. If you like the show, spread
the word. I'm Jim. There's deb Jack is here as well.
Let's do Animal House.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
She likes them fuzzy, furry, feathery, tough and scaly. It's
time for Animal House.

Speaker 5 (43:00):
And Animal House is generously brought to us each and
every week by personal injury attorney Glenn Clausman. We'll talk
to Santa Clausman on Thursday and how you can get
in touch with Glenn at the end of the segment.
But now please join me in welcoming back some of
our regular guest Senior Ambassador, animal Keeper Christina O'Donnell and
zoo teacher Emily.

Speaker 8 (43:18):
Guys.

Speaker 5 (43:19):
Yes, hey, it's good to see you guys, Me too.
So what animal friend did you bring us today?

Speaker 19 (43:26):
So here we have Roberta. She is a red footed tortoise.

Speaker 4 (43:30):
So these guys are from South America, generally found on
the outskirts of rainforest, so more humid savannah type areas
are where they like to be walking around.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
How old is she?

Speaker 19 (43:40):
She's thirty one years old.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
Thirty one, that's so fairly young for her.

Speaker 20 (43:46):
Yeah, they can live up to fifty plus years so.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
Oh wow, really wow.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
So are they relative at all to the Galapagos or.

Speaker 20 (43:53):
I mean distantly, but yeah, I mean they have a
pretty long lifespan out in the wild. We don't know
actually a whole lot about all the longevity of certain
tortoises because nobody's really followed from.

Speaker 6 (44:04):
Bird r.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
Everyone's up dying counting exactly how long have you guys
had Roberta?

Speaker 20 (44:11):
She was actually born at the zoo.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
Really wow? Wow? Her only life has been known in captivity.

Speaker 20 (44:18):
Well, yeah, under human care at our zoo for sure,
And she's had a wonderful life being an.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
Ambassamary at home. That I love that you say, in
captivity it's under human care. The fais well to be
Pharaoh is.

Speaker 4 (44:31):
Also going to say, none of our animals really came
from the wild. A lot of them, the Florida natives
might have been rehabbed, but most of the animals from
out of the country were all born in other institutions.

Speaker 19 (44:43):
Are at the zoo.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
So her her shop. By the way, if you go
to the Jill Cort Live dot com right now, you
can actually see her or real Radio dot FM slash watch.
She is featured right here on our shot. You can
see her. She's taller like when you see tortoises or
turtles or any of these, you know, this type of animal,
they're a little bit more flat. Of course, the ones
that go in the water really flat for to be
able to streamline and as they swim. Is there a

(45:04):
reason why her shell is so tall, because I would
think that she's like eight inches tall or so.

Speaker 20 (45:09):
Yeah, So she out where they live. They're going to
live under some foliage from the forest floor and things
like that. So one of her best protections actually is
kind of just curl in and look like a rock.
Yeah yeah, yeah, So a lot of predators and things
like that are just going to walk right by thinking
she's a rock. As long as she's not really moving.

Speaker 5 (45:24):
Wow. And again, a lot of people think that the
shell of a tortoise or a turtle is their home,
when in reality it's it is part of them. There
is no surviving without the shell, correct.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
Yeah, yeah, they Actually it's sensitive to heat and cold,
is it not like if you touch your shell, it'd
be like you touching somebody's back.

Speaker 19 (45:40):
Right now, she can feel it.

Speaker 4 (45:41):
There's a layer of keratin on the outside, which is
the same thing that your hair and nails are made
out of. So just like how you can feel if
something's touching your fingernail or kind of like touching the
top of your head, they do have nerves in there.

Speaker 19 (45:51):
They can feel it.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Yeah, I mean she's pretty docile. Some of the turtles
or tortoises that you guys bring in are a little
more active. Is it because of the weather or is
she just natchil So part of.

Speaker 20 (46:01):
It is the weather because she is more native to
tropical and we're humid areas. She doesn't really care for
this cold. I mean, she came to Florida for a reason,
but she was hunker down in her hay. So we
give her hay and some insulation and things like that
that she hunkers down in.

Speaker 19 (46:15):
But they have slower.

Speaker 20 (46:16):
Metabolism, so reptiles slow down when it gets colder, so
they won't eat as much, and their bodies just aren't,
you know, metabolically active as.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
Much, so it's like a hibernation kind of thing in
the in the winter or when it gets cooler.

Speaker 20 (46:28):
So she won't go fully into hibernation, but they definitely
kind of slow down to the play where they aren't eating.
They don't have to eat because their body's just not
expending that energy, so they can go very long or
a long time without four Wow.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
I wish I could adopt that I don't need to
eat as much.

Speaker 5 (46:42):
It doesn't apply though, So I know this is a
very very very busy time for you guys at the
Central Florida Zoo because once again you had the Asian
Lantern Festival, and Emily you were saying, this year you
think it's topped them all.

Speaker 4 (46:54):
Yes, I to be fair, I've only worked at the
Zoo for the last two of them. But this year,
if you were there last year, I think it's better
than it was last year. And the themes this year
are under the sea and mythical creature, So lots of
really really cool lanterns going around.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
You heard that a little bit alright, A little bit
like it.

Speaker 19 (47:10):
It's really cool.

Speaker 2 (47:11):
It is cool.

Speaker 5 (47:12):
And I was there last year with you had a
huge dragon and some other really great creatures. But I
know everyone at the zoo is really excited about this
year's theme and how the crowd's been.

Speaker 19 (47:23):
They've been pretty good.

Speaker 4 (47:24):
We just like last year, have been selling out a
lot on the weekends, especially as we get closer to
the holidays, more and more days are selling out. So
if you're looking for tickets, you can go to Central
Florida Zoo dot org. We always recommend buying early because
sometimes you do show up trying to get tickets and
we're like, we know anymore, We can't.

Speaker 19 (47:39):
We don't have any more space.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
Have you Have you been yet?

Speaker 9 (47:42):
No?

Speaker 2 (47:42):
I haven't men yet.

Speaker 9 (47:43):
No.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
Oh it's crazy.

Speaker 5 (47:44):
Well, first of all, it's a it's a guided walking tour,
so you're not left to wonder like, well what's next.
They kind of steer you along so you get to
see all of the lanterns. But what really impressed me
was the way you guys handle that parking lot. You're
like over there over there, over there, you think, whoa
wait a minute, amya theme park, because I mean you
have the crowds that are rolling in there each and

(48:04):
every night.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
And I will tell you the one thing about it
that the great thing about the zoo, it's it's basically
out in the middle of nowhere kind of it's not
far off of the main road. But how it's out
is there's no lightwash right right, there are no there
are no street lights or anything that washed the light out.
So when you get out there for the lantern fest,
it really is. It's kind of crazy because of course
they're bright, but when you see them with that ultimate

(48:26):
contrast of like the no light taking away from the shine,
it's crazy how defined the colors are much they pop. Yeah,
the one year, the first year I went, just walking
up to it was a mind blowing because you just
can't you can't really fathom how bright it is and
how the colors are really really, you know, just super

(48:46):
bright and very defined.

Speaker 5 (48:48):
And for those people who think you're looking at a
lantern like a lantern you'd put up in the sky
or whatever, these are they're hand painted silk.

Speaker 4 (48:56):
Right, yeah, they are completely handmade. We have a third
company called Tianya who out puts them all together for us.
Our facilities team does help put them out in the zoo,
but they start putting them out in October and then
we open in mid November, so it takes a while
to get them all out there. Very bright color is
very big lanterns. It's crazy.

Speaker 5 (49:12):
I don't know how they do it exactly, and that's
why they make such great photo wops for your holiday cards,
for you know, any of your social media posts. But
that's not all that's going on at the central floor
to Zoo. I know you guys have another announcement for
another popular event.

Speaker 4 (49:25):
Yes, we do have some camps coming up, so I'll
start with those. So our President's Day Camp and Martin
Luther Luther King Junior Day Camp are coming up. But
the popular event is of course Bruis at the Zoo.
So this year it's going to be in February, and
we have two days of it, so February twenty first
and twenty second, so a full weekend to enjoy Brui

(49:45):
at the Zoo this year.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
That popular Huh.

Speaker 3 (49:49):
The day Yeah, it's going to be in the daytimes.

Speaker 5 (49:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (49:52):
So yeah, so Saturday is the afternoon, just like how
we've done the last few years Sundays. I believe it
starts at eleven am.

Speaker 5 (49:58):
Day drink and baby yeah days during animals nap time.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
Exactly.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
And for the camps. What kind of ages are you
looking at?

Speaker 19 (50:09):
Yeah, so we do.

Speaker 4 (50:10):
It's from ages the present day camper from ages six
to twelve, so a wide variety of ages. They all
get to come in, they all learn about animals, get
to meet some animal ambassadors, and tour around the zoo,
do lots of fun nature based activities and things.

Speaker 3 (50:23):
So for spring break, parents have an option out there.

Speaker 19 (50:25):
Absolutely spring break one.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Do the kids still kind of gravitate towards the serbatarium?
The is that still the number one thing for the
kids because of the nature of them and how you're
supposed to be a little scared of snakes and stuff,
and there's that barrier or is it something else now
there is?

Speaker 4 (50:41):
You have your select kids who love going into the herpetarium,
love learning about the snakes and the lizards and things.
But I feel like some of the more popular animals
are like we have like the rabbits and guinea pigs
or city lab they love those are the birds have
been very popular.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
What a weak generation.

Speaker 20 (51:04):
And they'll find a squirrel and they're fascinated and you're
just like, rhino right there, rhino.

Speaker 19 (51:09):
All the time. But there's a squirrel on the fence. Yeah,
there's a four thousand pounds rhino in front.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
And speaking of the rhino, just pardon me if i'm behind.
Is it still here because it wasn't there a shipping
issue where it was supposed to go up north but
something happened. Is the rhino still with us?

Speaker 19 (51:27):
We do still have PJ.

Speaker 4 (51:28):
He was a little bit too big for his kennel
going up to New York, so he's going to Buffalo
and then they so we needed to get a different kennel,
and then they decided to wait until after wintertime. He's
used to Florida, so going up to New York winter
might be a little bit of a big change.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
So he'd be like, who did I piss off.

Speaker 19 (51:49):
In the spring? Oh?

Speaker 4 (51:50):
Good?

Speaker 3 (51:50):
So then we can have another going away party for PJ.

Speaker 14 (51:53):
Love it.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
Did anyone consider like putting him on a diet so
you could use the kennel you already had.

Speaker 19 (51:59):
To be fair?

Speaker 4 (52:00):
Are greater one horned rhinos are the second largest rhinos,
right after white rhinos.

Speaker 19 (52:04):
So canybe it's just his species, all.

Speaker 3 (52:07):
Right, I'm going to use that.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
I'm just trying to save a little money here. What
they eat rhinos, they're herbivores.

Speaker 19 (52:16):
So he eats plants.

Speaker 11 (52:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (52:17):
A lot of people think that the horn is used
for like fighting or hunting. It's used for digging up
roots and digging in the mud.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
Is it really would have never known that? I thought
for sure it was one defense. Yeah, I'll be damned.

Speaker 20 (52:30):
He eats a ton of hay and toun of brows,
ton of produce. He also gets like rhino child. There's
like specified yeah child, that's made so that he gets
all the vitamins and supplements that he could possibly need
that he's not getting from just hay and browse al.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
Wow, that's so crazy? How much? Hey? But that must
that damn thing eat in a day? So how does
he get up to Buffalo? Is it a truck train?
What do they do? Skates?

Speaker 19 (52:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (52:52):
So he's in a specialized crate. And then there are
special carriers that are responsible for transporting animals across state
lines and things like that, and so they know things
to look for, make sure that the animal is healthy
and safe. They do visual checks, you know, every couple
of hours and things like that. But it's a very
nice small pool of truckers.

Speaker 2 (53:11):
You could be you could be driving down in the
South Carolina the next question, you're passing a truck and
you don't know there could be a rhino inside that truck.

Speaker 19 (53:20):
It could be PJ next to you.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
Yeah, that's pretty cool. So it's not open because we
need transport horses. I mean, horses have those horse trailers
have those slots where air can get in there and
they can see out. When rhinos are transported, there's no
open it's all closed in.

Speaker 19 (53:33):
The kennel that he has. I've seen it, but kind
of behind the scenes.

Speaker 4 (53:37):
It looks kind of like a horse trailer where it's
got the little windows up so there is air movement
and he can kind of like.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
Could you imagine what's going on? Could you imagine like
being just passing this truck and looking ome there's a
gd rhino lookinggagine.

Speaker 5 (53:48):
All I want to know is where I need to
go to get that CDL that says I can transport
a rhino real quick. I wanted to let you know
folks have been texting us at seven seven zero three one. Agree,
Lantern Festival is even better this year. This year the
lanterns look more detailed. Awesome, We loved it this year.

Every single Wednesday around this time we invite our good
friends Scott Maxwell to join us from the Orlando Sentinel.
He writes columns there Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. He is
the truth Dragon, good loud for mister sweetheats.

Speaker 9 (56:12):
Got back.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
Well, big dog, what's going on?

Speaker 8 (56:18):
It's good to see it. It was actually, I think
it was more fun coming to see in person last week.
That was nice.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
It was great, dude. I can't believe it was a
week ago.

Speaker 9 (56:27):
It was.

Speaker 8 (56:28):
It was nice to see all your station folks just
putting in their own time.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
Oh yeah, absolutely wonderful. Actually had about a half an
hour long conversation with my wife about that very thing.
How cool it is that we have employees that really
do go way beyond to help out the community. I
love seeing it was great.

Speaker 8 (56:43):
Yeah yeah, and it was may put a little extra
holiday pep in my steps.

Speaker 15 (56:47):
So I love that.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
Hey, let me ask you a question real quick. This
is on our This is you know a lot of
people texting and responding to this. We actually got a
by I mean a ton of responses to this. Can
you name a movie that you watch that you can't
watch again? And maybe it doesn't have to do with
like maybe how gross the movie is or anything like that,
just maybe the subject matter and just give you an idea.
One of mine is like Schindler's List or a movie

(57:10):
called like Leaving Las Vegas was a tough one to watch.
I haven't watched that again. Do you have a movie
like that in your repertoire?

Speaker 8 (57:17):
Those are both solid ones. I Leaving Las Vegas was that'sue.
Those are both good ones. I watched it, it was great.
Never want to need to.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
See it again, Fred, exactly, I've seen it tough to
watch the first time and would never subject myself to
it again.

Speaker 8 (57:32):
One another similar. I don't know if you remember Hotel Rwanda.

Speaker 2 (57:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, cheatah.

Speaker 8 (57:37):
And it was spectacular. Now there's an argument to be
made that, you know, we have the luxury of just
choosing in our lives not to watch these things that
other people have had to deal with their entire life,
and and and we shouldn't just you know, be comfortable
by choosing us to do it. But yes, all, all
those movies.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
Yeah, And the funny thing is that, you know, we
said earlier because another one of mine is the but
we said earlier that if you look at the choices,
even the ones online, a lot of them are because
the stories are accurate. They're based on actual happenings, especially
with you know, your Schindler's List, any of your war
movies that deal with World War one or two for
that matter, those people actually live through that, you know,
apocalypse now with Vietnam, people live through that. Uh So, Yeah,

(58:19):
I just found it interesting. I saw a thing on
Reddit today that kind of peaked my interest in what
people would say with that.

Speaker 8 (58:26):
And on the flip side, I am physically incapable on
any Saturday afternoon of scanning the channels and coming across
Ocean's eleven, twelve or thirteen and not stopping and watching
a movie that I've seen about two hundred times.

Speaker 2 (58:43):
Really, yeah, I've got those two. I think Dumb and
Dumber is one of mine. I think I almost stop
in my tracks and watch anything Dumb and Dumber all right?
For seven nine one six one o four one. Talking
to Scott Maxwell from The Orlando Sentinel, I saw your
piece today and It comes on the heels of another
piece I read today about this very topic. The topic
is is how much money the Santas has taken from

(59:05):
the state of Florida that wasn't really deemed for what
he used it for. And there was an instagram a
feed that I found today from an author who writes
on these things, and you know, the initial number was
ten million dollars. We've heard about the ten million bucks
right from a settlement. It was redirected into Hope Florida,
the organization that its whole goal is to get people

(59:28):
off of welfare and make churches take over those responsibilities,
or at least some of that is part of that.
But now I heard the number is way different and
it's considerably worse. And I saw it in your column
today and it really it reverified what it was. So
now it's between thirty five and thirty seven million dollars. Yeah,
that's about right. That was taken without you know, with

(59:49):
taken without any judicial oversight or any any protocol whatsoever.

Speaker 8 (59:57):
Yeah, this was money that was meant to be like
sproat from a bunch of different state divisions, from Education, DCF,
Department of Health. Money that was meant to protect at
risk foster kids, money that was meant to help people
who are addicted to opioids, and all of it was
spent on the campaigns against decriminalizing marijuana and protecting abortion rights.

(01:00:19):
And I think one of the things that I wrote
about today to try to help people understand how wrong
that is is this state has debates over amendments every year.
The you know, almost every other minimum wage is a
good one, a good example. That's that's the debate that
we had. The way that happened is two different sets
of groups funded those campaigns. On one side, you had

(01:00:40):
like labor unions, you had John Morgan, he was funding it.
They were fund and citizens that were saying, you know,
we want to raise the minimum wage. On the other side,
you had the Chamber of Commerce, you had the Hotel
Lodging Association, and they were saying we should not raise
minimum wage. That's how it's supposed to happen. That's that's
how you debate things in the court of a public opinion,
with people doing their own money. DeSantis decided he wanted

(01:01:04):
to run his campaigns against the amendment, against the abortion
and marijuana amendments with public money.

Speaker 9 (01:01:10):
And that's not okay.

Speaker 8 (01:01:11):
And I mean one person after another said it was
wrong and probably illegal.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
And a bit nefarious in the way that it was labeled,
right because I mean some of the money. I mean,
that's the thing that made it a little shaky, is how.
You know, we hear this in government a lot, you
and for people who don't understand, and there probably aren't
that many out there. You know, when a president designates
something a certain thing, they're doing that because it unlocks
the ability for you to use a certain set of tools.
The governments offered to to have that problem, whether it

(01:01:39):
designate somebody a cartel or a terrorist organization or a
weapon of mass destruction, those are for a reason. And
in Florida that he deemed this like add money and
some other stuff that really doesn't add up. I mean
they you know, there's receipts out there that show that
it really isn't that, and.

Speaker 8 (01:01:56):
They're still hiding it there. I Mean, these papers have
worked really hard, the Seeking Rent's website and Tampa Bay
Times really went hard, but there's still a lot of
these things that are being hidden. And one of the
things that I thought they did a good job that
I hadn't really clicked because I was thinking, like, you know,
why didn't the Sayans just get his own private money.
Usually could snap his fingers and get any company to

(01:02:18):
And they were making the point that at this point
in time, back in two thousand and two year, this
is when he was fighting with Donald Trump, right, this
is this is when he was at his lowest point,
and there weren't a whole lot of people tripping over
themselves to give him money. They thought he was you know,
he wasn't gonna be president. There was no real future
for him. So it looks like he just decided to
dip his hands into the public coffers and use the

(01:02:39):
money because they couldn't raise.

Speaker 15 (01:02:40):
It on his own.

Speaker 8 (01:02:40):
And that's not okay.

Speaker 2 (01:02:42):
Yeah, as a lane duck, I mean, he really doesn't
have any power. You and I have kind of talked
a number of times about what his next thing's gonna
be because he's kind of ruined himself with the Maga crowd.
I don't think he's gonna get any significant Republican vote support.
His donors bailed, and of course the job that Trump
and Susie Wilds did on him, you know, they it worked.
I mean they basically defag this guy and he's only

(01:03:04):
working in the context of Florida. And then now we
see this yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:03:08):
Yeah, you know, speaking of a sort of semi related Jim,
I'm gonna throw this out there. You probably saw the
whole Susie Wiles Vanity.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
Fair unbelievable, just can't believe it.

Speaker 8 (01:03:16):
Let me just submit that Susie Wiles, from what I
know about, Susie Wiles, does not do things accidentally, and
Susie Wiles does not not know what she's doing. And
Susie Wiles didn't sit down with Vanity Fair for what
was it eleven different interviews and not know exactly how
that was.

Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
Going to play out. Yeah, let me let me tell
you the very interesting part about the Susie Wiles thing.
For me, and if you don't know, Susie Wiles is
his chief of staff, has been his right hand man.
He's been Trump's Yeah chiefs of staff, has been really
an operative in the Republican Party for many, many years.
She's the daughter of the former pat Semarole, the great
sports announcer. The thing that I found interesting is this
the rumor mill says there are a number of cabinet

(01:03:54):
members that are on their way out. She took shots
at Rubio, she took shots at Advance, she took shots
at Bondy. She didn't take shots at Christy Nome. She
didn't take shots at cash Oh I had noticed, And
she didn't take shots at Bongino. All of those guys
are rumored to be exiting the White House. Bongino, there's
a rumor today that he's packing his office as we

(01:04:15):
speak and just waiting for the right time to bail.
So it's kind of interesting that she didn't bring certain
people up, as if they weren't worth bringing up.

Speaker 8 (01:04:24):
Yeah, and and I mean, now we're just I'm just speculating,
but I think everything she does.

Speaker 2 (01:04:30):
Is by calculating, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 8 (01:04:32):
And in what this reminded me of is a story
that I know Deb remembers because it was a long time.
Do you remember when when she and Dissana's first that's
had their following falling out, There was a list of
a price list that got leaked basically what you had
to do to pay, what you had to pay to
hang out with the Santas.

Speaker 9 (01:04:50):
And it was pretty gross.

Speaker 8 (01:04:51):
I mean it was it was like one hundred and
twenty five thousand dollars to play golf with him, or
you know, or fifty thousand dollars to die. It was
basically like a hooker list, you know. And generally the
sort of scuttle butt around Tallahassee was that there were
only a handful of people who had this list, and
Susie Wilds was probably one of it, one of them.

(01:05:11):
That list got leaked out, and then Susie Wiles, you know,
decried it and said it's all a bunch of fake
news and that the all the report and anyway, this
had a lot of ring of similarity to what we're
seeing right now.

Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
Yeah, when Dishants threw his hat into the presidential ring,
that ruined him.

Speaker 4 (01:05:27):
That was it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:28):
That's all it had. I mean, when he tried to
run they against Trump or run for that nomination, he
was done. He thought that Trump was in a weak position,
that Republican Party would not see hims damage goods, and
he didn't have the baggage that Trump has. He thought
he was going to slide right in there. And they
do not care for him. They don't like him, they
don't like the way he operates.

Speaker 8 (01:05:47):
Right and by the way, I just because while we
were talking, I pulled up the price list I want
in case you want to do some Christmas shopping the
dissantus price list. It's twenty it was twenty five thousand dollars.
If you want to be part of a foursome, what
one hundred thousand dollars if you want to go one
on one with the governor?

Speaker 3 (01:06:01):
So looking for those are some good hooker prices.

Speaker 2 (01:06:04):
Yeah, that's a that's an expensive scramble for a scramble.
Yeah yeah, Well what else is going on out there? Buddy? Way?
How else are you getting yourself in the Christmas spirit?
Have you all your shopping done?

Speaker 11 (01:06:15):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (01:06:16):
Yeah, most of it's pretty good. We're we got fame,
we got all of our family is come. We got
fourteen maxwells, which is at least like twelve maxwells too many. Uh,
coming down to we're spending it in Sarasota where my
where my daughter is. We're gonna be down there.

Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
Oh that's cool.

Speaker 19 (01:06:34):
Is my mom?

Speaker 2 (01:06:34):
Is that you?

Speaker 21 (01:06:35):
Is that you?

Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
Is that where your parents are? Or your mom is?
I mean? Nor are there?

Speaker 8 (01:06:40):
My daughter works there, she works for the Sarasota Opera
And uh, we just were looking for a place to
all gather and Sarasota is pretty nice. So we've got
about five condos and we're gonna spend Christmas there and
see shows and eat dinners and.

Speaker 15 (01:06:53):
Go to the beach.

Speaker 2 (01:06:54):
That sounds great, man, Yeah yeah, what about you just
excuse me here at home. Just everybody's coming over. Actually
just found out this morning that everybody's coming over around
nine o'clock in the morning. Oh oh wow, okay, yeah yeah.
So we do breakfast. So what happens is our crew
comes over, everybody brings a dish. My mother in law
brings keish and that's in a pumpkin roll. She does

(01:07:18):
that only once a year. So we have this traditional
breakfast that we have and then we go into the
living room and open gifts. All my kids are old,
so this is not like a tear things apart. Everything's
on by six fifteen. This is not that anymoreybody kind
of moses in. We take it easy, make a day
out of it, get a good cup of coffee, you know,
just kind of slide into it. I've done zero shopping,

(01:07:39):
zero shopping.

Speaker 7 (01:07:40):
I got to do it.

Speaker 8 (01:07:40):
I don't know if you're aware it's actually a week
from tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
Yeah, yea yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. This is exactly
what happens to me every single year. I'm like, I
gotta get this done early, and the next thing he
knows the twentieth Well, good luck. I guess here's how
I do it, scott Like like, I make the list
out and then like a true man, and I drive
from the places to the places. I walk straight into

(01:08:03):
the store. There is no browsing. I walk straight to
the thing I'm getting, I buy it. I walk straight
out of the store. There is no meandering about the store.
I'm not looking for a deal. I make my list,
I go and get it, and I come home. I'm
pretty efficient. Well, don't you just order stuff online? That's
my wife does that. We had a tower of boxes

(01:08:24):
in the front of the front door until about the
Sunday when we put them away. But there are certain
rooms of the house I can't even go in because
there's stuff stashing there I can't see.

Speaker 8 (01:08:34):
We've just my whole family. I think we've just reached
that we are so practical that nobody's getting sentimental gifts anymore.
It's just sort of like I need an alarm clock
and maybe some a new pack of Rello pads, and
everybody's just given things what they need.

Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
My wife actually made it very easy on me this year.
I know exactly what she wants. And the cool thing
is is she's given me so many ideas. She has
no idea which ones I'm getting, and I'm getting those
this week and she's gonna trip out. She's gonna love it. Yeah,
and the kids don't have to worry about because's shot
up for all those I just have to really worry
about my wife and the guys here on the program.

Speaker 8 (01:09:08):
So you don't have much to do, and yet your
way behind.

Speaker 2 (01:09:10):
Yeah, I'm way behind. Thanks good. I appreciate you saying
that I invited you here for the record.

Speaker 18 (01:09:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:09:16):
Well, I just want to tell you guys before we
get to the end event. I hope you have a
merry Christmas. And it's been a very good year.

Speaker 2 (01:09:22):
It has been a great year, buddy, and I appreciate
it all the time you spend with us and give
a call and appreciate what you do for the city
of Orlando. I know everybody out there listening does as well.
They know that you are the gatekeeper of truth here
in Orlando. The Orlando Sentinel and we would always urge
people to start a new year by getting a subscription
to the Sentinel so that you can read Scott's columns
throughout the year and stay abreast of what's happening, especially

(01:09:43):
going into twenty twenty six. It's gonna be a fiery year,
by man, it is.

Speaker 8 (01:09:47):
And then I'm getting ready to do Jack's favorite column,
the New Year's Disclosure.

Speaker 2 (01:09:52):
Oh yeah, in case you forgot what's going on behind
the scenes in the world of Scott Matxwell, this is
the article, Lauree. You find out. This is what I've
never understood. This about you. By the way, I've never
understood why you share all your financial information everybody. That
is a nightmare to me. Oh, we never know a
million years do that.

Speaker 8 (01:10:10):
I like that I can write this thing and explain
to people where I stand on, like the death penalty
and abortion and religion. And the only thing people remember
is you said you like miracle.

Speaker 2 (01:10:20):
Will all right, buddy, always a good seeing you, good
laugh for Scott Maxwell. Wonderful twenty twenty five, and we'll
see you next year with your smiling face. Buddy, have
a good time and travel safely. You got a buddy,
Right Christmas, New Year all right for seven nine four one.
Text does that seven seven zero three one back in
a second with more of the Jim Coward Show.

Speaker 8 (01:10:55):
So I know it's on topic, doesn't matter.

Speaker 13 (01:11:00):
It's just been really difficult this last year. We found
out that our school is probably going to be closed.
I'm a teacher and that's really difficult for me and
my school family. But today, blessings upon blessings, my mom
found out that she is cancer free after fighting for
five years with stage long, stage four melanoma.

Speaker 2 (01:11:24):
Well, that's great news. That's great news. We will not
make fun of you for getting got off. That's good news.

Speaker 3 (01:11:28):
And she's a teacher who still is going to close.

Speaker 2 (01:11:30):
So well, I'm not glad to hear that, but I
am glad to hear that your mother's doing absolutely all
right for us seven nine one six four one text
us seven seven zero three one. You heard that, young lady.
If you'd like to do that as well, that's called
a talk back. It's easy. Grab the iHeartRadio AM if
you already have that on your phone, just simply go there,
go to real radio. You'll see a microphone right there.
Just use that to send your comment over. And by
the way, she said, the perfect thing. It doesn't have

(01:11:51):
to be on topic. You could just have something going
on in your life. You need a little advice, maybe
a different perspective. You're welcome to send the talk back
about that. We love that. The entire station was literally
built on that concept. So we always love your calls,
We always love your input, and we will always take it.
So thank you again. I'm Jim, there's Deb Hello, Jack
is here as well. Yeah, this Rob Reiner and Michelle

(01:12:14):
Reiner thing is like, it's pretty crazy, obviously, and every
time I see his picture. I deb sat it today
as we were watching the news before the show should
they flashed a picture of Rob and Michelle up on
the screen and she just looked up and I said
and said what I think a lot of people are
saying in regards to that, as like, you just can't
believe it happened. You just can't believe that an icon
of that nature went out like that, like his own family,

(01:12:36):
you know, murdered him. Yeah, So there was an interesting
thing today and I said this at the beginning of
the show. You know their personality traits, and we know
this kid has had some troubles from fifteen years old.
I guess he's been in rehabs some mental illness as well.
I already hear that they're planning on an insanity defense
for this guy. His attorney said as much in an interview.

(01:12:58):
And the thing that's kind of interesting is he did
a podcast with somebody, I don't know who, it was,
just some podcasts, and in that podcast, they talked about
him being, you know, having these situations, you know, is
the addiction, the living on the street, blah blah blah blah.
And he recounted a situation where he was at home
at his parents property or on their estate, and he

(01:13:21):
was staying in their guest house, right and he tore
the guest house apart. He said he was tweaking out,
going crazy on methan coke, punching holes everything from the
TVs to the walls. He said, he completely destroyed it.
But the thing I found kind of interesting is is
this and again, having four kids, understanding personalities, you know,
being around you know, other families that have young kids,

(01:13:43):
you know, or as they grow up, you kind of
pay attention to personality traits. He said something that kind
of hit me a little weird. He goes, yeah, he goes,
I busted up my guest house. I heard that he
referred to it as my guest He goes, I busted
up my guest house. And the reason that caught me
kind of interested in, you know, is entitlement is a
very powerful kind of thing. You know, if you feel entitled,

(01:14:05):
that you deserve something because somebody around you achieved something.
Maybe your dad was very famous. I'd heard he had
some jealousy issues with his father's success in career and
the other kids did not. That personality trait of entitlement
is so destructive, and you could see that playing into
along with drug addiction and other issues that really causing
a situation where he felt he was owed something from

(01:14:27):
the family because they'd been so successful. It's like Shaq said, right,
He's like, you ain't rich, I'm rich.

Speaker 19 (01:14:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:14:32):
Yeah, talking to his kids, I think that kind of
scenario popped up. And when I heard that interview, was like, man,
you know, I'm not saying that the other stuff wasn't impactful,
but I think this kid's mentality from the onset maybe
led that to that world. Yeah. I heard that clip
and when he say, yeah, my guest house, I'm like,
wait a minute. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you paid for it.
You were homeless exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:14:55):
If you busted up your guest house, then I'm assuming
you also fixed it.

Speaker 2 (01:14:59):
No, he did not do any of that. Yeah, yeah.
And that's the thing that's kind of interesting about that,
you know. And when you hear people use language like that,
you should pay attention to it, because, I mean, it
really tells you a lot about them. And again, they
were showing photographs of them doing photo shoots at movie
premieres and stuff like that, and he was the only
one in the family not smiling. Everybody else was perfectly
happy to be there, reveling in the fact that they

(01:15:21):
were that lucky in life and got to be part
of that entire thing, and he was just sitting there
with a scowl on his face, almost to say, I
can't believe this is that me people aren't paying attention
to I don't want to be here just as somebody's son.
I want to be here because I'm being heralded because
of my work and my vision. I think you're projecting there,
Yeah no, I think so. Yeah, I can project It's fine.
That's what I think when I see his body language,
that's what I think. That he's jealous. It was all

(01:15:43):
born out of jealous No, not completely born out of jealousy.
But it was mentioned in an article today that there
were situations back in his past where he had shown
that he was jealous or envious of his father's success
and uh and finances. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:15:58):
I just think that they're going to have zero chance
at an insanity defense, despite his numerous trips to rehab.
It might be a mitigating factor, but you know, he
he showed too much awareness of what he had done. Yeah,
you know, leaving and checking into a hotel and putting
sheets over the window. There's you know, there's a difference
between him and Andrea. I'm forgetting her last name, the

(01:16:21):
one who had killed her children. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Well she had stayed on the scene, called nine one one.

Speaker 3 (01:16:28):
You know, she obviously was not a she did not
believe what she did was wrong, right.

Speaker 2 (01:16:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:16:33):
Everything of his actions, assuming reportedly shows that he knew exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:16:39):
What he did. Yeah. This seems like a drug fueled
anger lashing out to me that wound up in the
worst possible scenario. That's what it sounds like. You know,
he talked about tweaking for days on end and not sleeping,
he talked about on podcasts, his voice him recalling it. So,
I mean we know that, you know, meth is one
of those very interesting drugs that does deprive you of sleep,
you start hallucinating, and then you know, interesting thing's gonna happen.

Speaker 3 (01:17:01):
Andrea Yates, Yeah, Yates, Yeah, that's the that's the one.

Speaker 5 (01:17:04):
And I think as well, the witnesses at the party
describing his odd behavior, I think that's all going to
point to him maybe slipping back into his addiction, you know,
and maybe he's not little.

Speaker 2 (01:17:16):
He ain't going there's no more addiction for him. Yeah,
I mean, there's where he's going. There's gonna be no addiction.
I mean, I guess maybe you can get some drugs
in prison. I don't know how. I don't know how
easy it is to get that kind of drug in prison,
But I don't know if it's just readily, you're gonna
be firing him a methspoon.

Speaker 3 (01:17:30):
And you know what I meant was that he fell
back into his addiction.

Speaker 5 (01:17:32):
And that's what I saws his behavior at the party,
and then it was exasperated, the argument with his parents
and then and.

Speaker 2 (01:17:38):
I'll tell you how it happened, and I'll tell you
there's another thing in this situation. Of course, it's not
even close to being as severe as what really happened
that I feel bad for. And it's just because I
know a little bit about this dude, because I've read
a lot about him and watched a lot of interviews. Man,
of all the people to have the last interaction with
this dude before he did this, Bill Hayter, Uh Forrom
Sara Ant Leave and of course from other movies and

(01:18:00):
by x Bury and things like that. If you know
anything about Bill Hayter, he is riddled with anxiety, and
he talked matter of fact, he left SNL and then
and then did not come back for the fiftieth year
anniversary because he just can't take it. He just it's
not his thing, which is weird because he's a performer.
But they talk about him like having to leave the

(01:18:20):
studio and kind of regain himself to be able to
come back and do a bit or a segment, like
literally almost puking before some of the Stefan stuff because
he wasn't sure it was gonna work. He just is
a nervous, anxious, anxiety ridden dude. And of all the
people at that place to have the last interaction with him,
Hater would be like the worst one in that place,
being Conan O'Brien's Christmas party, right, yeah, yeah, And you

(01:18:42):
know the reports are that he tried to interject into
a conversation Bill Hayter was having with somebody. Bill Hayter
turned around and kind of said something to him about it.
Nick Ryner just stood and stared at him for a
few minutes and then stormed out of the party. That's
the story. So Hater would have been the last guy
at the party that he had interactions with. And you know,
of course, when it leaves like that, and then something

(01:19:03):
like that happens and you have anxiety and you deal
with stuff like that, you may apply some of the
blame to yourself. You never know.

Speaker 5 (01:19:09):
Oh yeah, you could see where that would happen and
be like, damn if I just said, hey, dude, just wait.

Speaker 3 (01:19:14):
A few minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:19:15):
Yea yea, yeah, you know something.

Speaker 5 (01:19:16):
I think anybody would feel that way, whether you have
anxiety or not. But if you have anxiety, this is
certainly going to exacerbate that.

Speaker 2 (01:19:23):
And he you know, I read a piece in Yahood
today about Hater about this very thing. And one of
his friends said, he's never going to speak about this.
He'll never talk about this, Like, he will never make
a comment about this. He's that dude. He would just
rather never answer the question. And it's just gonna be
interesting to see how this all plays out.

Speaker 21 (01:19:42):
Well.

Speaker 5 (01:19:42):
The New York Post has a video of a shaking
Bill Hater spotted anxiously pacing outside his Los Angeles home
on what appeared to be and I'm reading verbatim a
tense phone call after news broke of a squabble he
had with Nick Reiner the night before Robin Michelle's brutal murder.

Speaker 2 (01:19:57):
Yeah, that story broke yesterday. And then there's video of
him like just kind of pacing on the phone in
his front yard. You know where people can take videos exactly. Yeah. Yeah,
come on, Bill gone side about bell? Try in your backyard. Yeah,
it says here it says Bill's not going to talk
about his interaction with Nick public he wanted to. He
may release a statement, you know, I mean, through his

(01:20:19):
pr people. He will release the statement saying that, you know,
we wish him the best or something like that. We'll
see how it goes. But again, all of all the people,
you know, somebody like Bill Hayter. I'm not sure he's
wishing anyone the best. No, no, no, no, I mean yeah, yeah,
that's not what I meant, like, uh, you know, I
think what the family is what I'm saying, Yeah, the
remaining family. That's what everybody's doing now, is they're sending
praise out of the family. The tragic. So you also

(01:20:42):
have Ronny, the daughter and the son that are you know, yeah, survived.
You know, they lost their whole family. Yeah they did. Yeah,
literally their mom and dad and then their brother's gone forever. Yeah,
I know, and who knows what kind of relationship they had.
Maybe for them, it's good riddance, but just go from
you know, a family of five to two is just wow.

(01:21:05):
And in that nature, that's the thing. It's not car
wreck nope, you know, or anything like that. It's that Yeah, yeah,
all right, four o seven nine one six one four one.
You know, he's text us at seven seven zero three
one back in a second with more than Jim Colberg.

Speaker 22 (01:21:17):
Joe, Hey, jessees crew, what's going on?

Speaker 18 (01:21:23):
That's very mellow?

Speaker 22 (01:21:25):
Tell me I'm the rott Reiner situation I read yesterday
that there was a tiff at Con O'Brian's party between
Nick Reiner and Bill Hitter because Nick kind of interfered
in a private conversation that Bill Hitter was having with
another guests and I don't know what he said to him,
but it set him off. And this is gonna be
a Hollywood case because they're gonna bring a lot of

(01:21:46):
witnesses from that party to testify.

Speaker 9 (01:21:48):
And guy knows who is at a list there.

Speaker 2 (01:21:52):
I would think that most of them aren't a listeners.
It's Conan O'Brien's parties. Yeah, one of those revere dudes
in Hollywood are in entertainment, I should say. I would
think getting an invite to his party would be a
big deal. Yep, welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show.
We're a radio one oh four point one. I'm Jim there,
dim Jack is here as well. Again it was a
little too far for me to go this year.

Speaker 6 (01:22:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:22:12):
Yeah, he reportedly just told Nick that it was a
private conversation. Yeah, there was like no yelling or anything
like that. I think he just kind of was matter
of factuvely looked at him and said, hey, this is
a private conversation and then he stood there and stared
at Bill Hater for a few seconds and then just
stormed out. The last we heard about that? Yeah, four
seven nine one. Again. You can always text our show

(01:22:33):
at seven to seven zero three one. Still getting a
ton of texts about these movies that you love but
would not watch again everything. I just got one the
other day, our momento, And the one that's coming in
a lot that I've heard a lot is Marley and
Me because it's sad. Yeah, I mean really sad. That's like,
was it not rent in ten? Or what was the
other one? Old yeller? Oh my god, almighty.

Speaker 5 (01:22:55):
I started reading the book Marley and Me in a
bookstore and started crying right there't even buy the damn thing.

Speaker 2 (01:23:01):
Yeah, that's Owen Wilson's that movie, right, is that Wilson's
in the market. Yeah, And Jennifer, it's impossible not to cry.
Impossible that Wow, Like, that's a test if you aren't
a human being. If you're a human you watch that
movie and you don't cry, there is something intrinsically wrong
with you. Is that why you refuse to watch it?
I've never seen it. I won't watch it. I don't
like rund of movies. Have you seen it?

Speaker 7 (01:23:23):
Jack?

Speaker 2 (01:23:23):
Nope? What's the last movie you cry that? I don't know.
I don't keep score. Well, you don't cry. I've never
seen you cry. I've never even heard you whimper. That's right,
you've never seen me cry. I've never heard you whimper.
Even I've never even heard you get emotional on the
error or stuff. Keep it in check, son, super hell,
super healthy son.

Speaker 3 (01:23:43):
Oh, that is the That is the motto of our generation.

Speaker 2 (01:23:46):
The biggest irony of the show, right, the biggest irony
of this show is that I'm this I'm the dude
that doesn't have the emotions, but yet I have ball
in the show multiple times, like a statue, like he's
carved out of ivory. You're not saying a word. We
never said you don't have emotions. You just have all
the bad ones.

Speaker 3 (01:24:03):
You still know how to regulate them.

Speaker 2 (01:24:04):
I do how to regulate them. I know how to
regulate them.

Speaker 3 (01:24:07):
Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 2 (01:24:08):
I just don't talk well about it. Well, tomorrow's a
big day for a certain group of people. Actually, you
know what, I don't know if really even even applies
to that certain group of people anymore. Donald Trump is
to sign an executive order tomorrow. Do you guys hear
about it? No, jaggona to hear about it. And usually
when he signs executive orders, you run for the hills
because God only knows what it's going to do, right,

(01:24:30):
or if it's going to be legal or not. But
this is one he's been talking about for a while,
and tomorrow President Donald Trump is expected to sign an
executive order that would reschedule marijuana to a lower drug classification.
There you go, that's right, a move that would ease
federal restrictions, though it would not mean full legalization, according
to a source familiar with the planning and a senior

(01:24:52):
White House official. So basically what they're doing is is
they're going to take it from being the same as
heroin and cocaine down to a Schedule three, which is
not that at all. But what it really does is
it opens up federal banking, not banking banking for sure,
because as it is now, you know, you I guess
weed shops can't run their their profits through a normal

(01:25:14):
bank because you know, selling marijuana federally is illegal, right,
But if it's still illegal, it may be classified differently.
But is it at a point where it can then
be used with a credit card as opposed to having
to be a cash or debit card. Only that I
do not say. Actually, what they focus on in this story,

(01:25:34):
this is a CNN piece. What they focus on more
than anything, is the ability for the federal government to
now do more testing with HIMP and and try to
get more out of the plant to see what it
can do for us medically, what it can do for
us industrially. And we know that already because we've used
him for years as well. We did for years as
a society. Most of the ropes that were used as

(01:25:57):
we started developing this nation were made of hemp. There
were fields everywhere for a while. And that's kind of
what they want to do more than anything, because I
guess the Feds can't even do anything with it now
because it's federally illegal, so them studying it or having
possession of it would be illegal. That's kind of what
it said to me, which I find kind of odd,
but that's what the story said. I think they can

(01:26:18):
carve out rules. But it was the same thing with
psychedelics for a while, where they couldn't do any testing,
and so it's like for thirty years or twenty something years.
It was just like there has been no movement on it.
And though psychedelics aren't I legal per se, they can
definitely they're allowed to do experimental testing microdosans. Microdosing has

(01:26:41):
already shown great research for you know, dealing with PTSD
and what other stuff to have that we've learned about with.

Speaker 3 (01:26:48):
Microdos anxiety and depression.

Speaker 2 (01:26:50):
But they in the seventies and eighties that testing was
not happening, says here. He first declared the support for
changing federal marijuana policy in the twenty twenty four presidential race,
trying to court younger voters, saying, you wanted to allow
for weed companies to obtain bank accounts and for universities
to be able to research the drug. He announced at
the time that he intended for a vote for a
ballot measure to legalize recreational marijuana in his home state

(01:27:13):
of Florida. He then added that as president, he would
quote continue to focus on research to unlock the medical
uses of marijuana to a Schedule three drug. And I
think it goes into action at the beginning of next
year when he signs it on. Now, I'm not one
hundred if if it applies immediately, but that is apparently
happening tomorrow. And I don't really know how that affects

(01:27:34):
people who use it, either recreationally or as a medicinal usage.
I don't know how that affects anybody. I think really
it just affects, like Jack was saying, you know, the
people who run the smoke shops, and if anybody owns
one or knows one, they can call up and kind
of tell us what that means for them. But it
looks like to me it's just really really for banking
and research.

Speaker 5 (01:27:54):
But it's interesting though, because also the resolution to end
the government shutdown basically of operated the CBD industry.

Speaker 2 (01:28:02):
Yeah, because the Big Beautiful Bill had that in there.

Speaker 3 (01:28:04):
So which one is it?

Speaker 8 (01:28:05):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:28:05):
I guess if they reschedule it, that wouldn't apply, right,
I don't know, Yeah, because if they reschedule it, maybe
that wouldn't apply. Maybe that maybe the stuff that was
built into the Big Beautiful Bill that would regulate what
we're talking about there. It would basically just put the
smoke shops down.

Speaker 5 (01:28:19):
Yeah, Well, the resolution to and the government shutdown included
you know that the CBD thing.

Speaker 2 (01:28:24):
Yeah, that's different than the big beautiful bill. Big beautiful
bill was find it right, Yeah, I thought it was
part of that. No, the resolution and the government shut
down is where they snuck in the thing that really
cut off CBD and THHC beverages knees. This is the
one out of Kentucky or whatever it was or the
legislator of Kentucky that put in there or something.

Speaker 23 (01:28:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28:46):
Yeah, I'll check who who was taking the money from
Big Alcohol. I don't know, ye yeah, no, yeah, yeah,
So that's interesting. We'll see if that happens tomorrow. And
again I don't know if there will be any revelry
because of it. But the schedule thing, and how will
that affect people who've busted by it, How will that
affect people who have been arrested for dealing in this
drug or trafficking in that drug? Are doo? Do those

(01:29:09):
still stand or are those people able to lawyer back
up and renegotiate their deal because now it's completely different. No,
I don't think because at the time it wasn't. However,
in the past, what I think they've done and I
know Biden did it as well, like where it was
just if you were only in for marijuana only I
think they started saying, Okay, let's yeah, these are the

(01:29:30):
people we can now let out.

Speaker 22 (01:29:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:29:31):
I read his pardon sheet. Most of his pardons were
for marijuana, drug dealing or usage. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:29:37):
So the recent US government spending bill a continuing resolution
passed in November twenty twenty five, enacted significant changes to
the regulation of hemp derived CBD products. These changes aim
to close a perceived loophole from the twenty eighteen Farm
Bill and will take effect in November twenty twenty six.
There you a So it'll be interesting to see if

(01:29:57):
and how can that be exactly a vorider wile change anything.

Speaker 2 (01:30:01):
Yeah, I wonder if that could be amended too. I mean,
I guess it could, right, they could introduce an amendment
to that, because I think Josh didn't Josh Hawley tried
to introduce an amendment to the bill because of there
was another aspect of that that he wanted to kind
of cut out of that thing, and re o was
the ability to let those senators sue the government for
half a million dollars for each charge when their phone
records were looked at, even though they didn't look at

(01:30:22):
any of the content of the records. They simply looked
at when the calls came in, when they or how
long they were and who called. That's it. They didn't
look at the content, didn't listen to the of it.
And now guys like Lindsay Graham and other people I
think Hally's one of them as well, want to be
able to sue for half a million dollars per time
it happened, opening up the floodgates for our own senators,
eight of them, to sue the federal government for what

(01:30:44):
could be millions of dollars tens of millions actually, And
what was the investigation for, I'm sorry, what was the
investigation for. That's the records that were being looked at.
This was the Arctic frost thing, I believe. Yeah, sounds
like a beverage to me. Yeah, yeah, I think that's
what it was, or auctit whatever.

Speaker 5 (01:31:01):
That that was a Justice Department of January sixth for Yeah,
those who supported January sixth, well.

Speaker 2 (01:31:07):
They were trying to figure out who was taking calls
when and why and where during the investigation, So they, uh,
they looked at those senators' phone records and again just
when the call came in, how long it lasted and
who it was from. They did not listen in on
the call, no transcripts of the calls or anything like that.
And they wanted the ability to sue for a half
a million dollars every time it happened, and some of
the senators happened, had it happened multi multiple times, and

(01:31:30):
haul and I think there were there was an introduction
to carve that out of the bills so that people
couldn't do that. I don't know if it passed. I
think they still have the ability to do it. Shameless
get wait, you get what you vote. It was shameless,
all right, four O seven nine one six one four one.
You know always text us at seven seven zero three
when I was asking you guys, our question of the
day is do you play an instrument? I'll tell you

(01:31:52):
why next.

Speaker 9 (01:32:04):
Bird show.

Speaker 6 (01:32:08):
Hey.

Speaker 10 (01:32:08):
So I used to be farmer. So I heard stuff
with regarding hemp. They connex hemp with concrete, which makes
him crete. It actually had a pretty much like five
degree difference from the outside to the inside with how
it works. Like they had a complete concrete building with
hemp crete and it was easily five degrees cooler inside

(01:32:30):
the building than it was outside the building because how
it works.

Speaker 9 (01:32:34):
What up guys sport from duvals.

Speaker 24 (01:32:37):
So my uncle had some property that has a whole
bunch of junk cars on it. So we went on
Amazon last night looking up slim gems. To Jimmy, the
door's open to get the cars unlocked. And I didn't
know they had a product. But it's a slim gem
and it's made for semi trunks. And when I saw
the name of it, it reminded.

Speaker 5 (01:32:55):
Me of Jim Ober.

Speaker 24 (01:32:57):
The name of it was a semi slim gem.

Speaker 2 (01:33:03):
Appreciate that.

Speaker 25 (01:33:04):
Good afternoon, Colbert Crew. Hey Jim you're so upset about
the congressman being able to sue because they were spied
on and wire tapped. But if your company, iHeart did
that to you, I think you'd be seeing a lawyer
if they tapped your phone.

Speaker 9 (01:33:20):
Now you're read your text messages and but.

Speaker 2 (01:33:23):
They didn't do that. I just said that multiple times. No,
it's not not even close. Appreciate it. Did you hear
any havens, Not not even one word. I said, you
took a bunch of leaps, dog man. I said it.
Clearly they're suing because the information only recorded who called
the person when they called, and how long the call was.

(01:33:46):
No content was shown, no content, no nothing. They didn't
know what he said. They don't know what they were
talking about. Just when they called, how long the call last,
and who called. That's it. That's all they did. And
by the way, this company, he has access to everything
I do that I log in with my email address.
They can go and go through my email every day

(01:34:07):
if they want. I'm not stupid enough to do anything
nefarious on my email. My company email to that on
my own private style. And they know when I lived there,
When I come into this building, they know when I
leave this building. Even if I just go down to
my truck to pick something out of my truck, they
know I've left, and they know how long I was gone.
Can I tell you something. Most big companies.

Speaker 22 (01:34:26):
Are like that.

Speaker 2 (01:34:27):
But also, if you have a law enforcement agency investigating you,
like the Department of Justice or the FBI, they're doing
an investigation. That's different from a corporation looking at, you know,
trying to pry in your phone records.

Speaker 24 (01:34:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:34:42):
Man, I don't get this whole idea of just green
lighting congressmen to be able to sue the United States
for half a million dollars for each offence.

Speaker 5 (01:34:51):
And using our tax dollars to do it when they
all have plenty of millions on paying.

Speaker 2 (01:34:56):
With your tax dollar. Buddy, I don't get that. It's
a cash grab, is what it is, a ca But
for the record, I'm not only saying this. Most Republicans
in the Senate in the House both believe it. Like
if Republicans are coming at him as hard as anybody was,
it's a cash crab. It stupid anyway, all right? For
us seven nine six four one texts seven seven zero
three one. I'm Jim, there's deb Hello, Jack is here

(01:35:17):
as well.

Speaker 16 (01:35:18):
Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (01:35:18):
I don't mean to talk over your thing, buddy, but
it's it's kind of it's very frustrating when you clearly
make your statement multiple times and for some reason it
just didn't sink in. You still wanted to can you
still wanted to claim that they were everything they said
was listen to. That isn't the case. Just go and
read the case, buddy. All they knew is when they called,

(01:35:39):
who called, and how long the call was. That's it.
No context, no content, no nothing crazy, all right. So
I was telling you guys that our question of the
day is have you or do you play an instrument?
And one of the reasons why is is because I
saw this really interesting story on it's called seapublic dot

(01:36:02):
org and it was a it's about this place called
Joyful Music Therapy. And as you read the story, it
tells about this guy named Michael Morrison who's thirty two
years old. He suffered a traumatic head injury at a
really young age and he's currently working with this clinic
founder to write an album dedicated to his uncle. Like
all these years of doing this, he's learned how to

(01:36:23):
play these instruments. He's learned how to do this and
music has really allowed him to flourish even though he
had this traumatic head injury. And they move forward to
talk about people who have autism are people who have
who are epileptic, and they use music as a tool
to move them through their lives beyond their maladies. And
I found it very interesting. I wonder, how many people

(01:36:43):
you think in our audience play an instrument? And did you, guys,
I think Jackie, didn't you fill around with the piano
a little bit? Huh yeah? Yeah, no, yeah no? Did
you really? I have a piano? I took piano lessons.
So I took drum lessons. Yeah, I took lessons. Did
you ever not get interested in playing outside of that?
I mean, your wife is a profane musicians. I quit
before I could learn anything.

Speaker 5 (01:37:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:37:03):
Is it just because you didn't have the passion and
want to learn it?

Speaker 8 (01:37:05):
Earth?

Speaker 2 (01:37:06):
Yeah, well I hit you like that, just you know,
you get busy with life. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I got.
I got a guitar when I was a kid, and
I all I want to do is play with my
toys and you know, my BB gun and stuff like that.
So I get that. I understand. I wish I wouldn't
have done that. I wish I would have played around.
I wish I would have stuck to it. Agreed.

Speaker 3 (01:37:24):
I played clarinet.

Speaker 2 (01:37:25):
I knew that.

Speaker 5 (01:37:26):
And I also was gifted clarinet, not clarinet cello lessons.

Speaker 3 (01:37:31):
Because that's that's the instrument. I really want to learn
how to play as the cello.

Speaker 15 (01:37:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:37:35):
That's a ram a lefty.

Speaker 5 (01:37:37):
Oh yeah, so it'd be very hard for me to
work the strings with the hand that I'm not dominant.

Speaker 7 (01:37:41):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (01:37:42):
I know.

Speaker 2 (01:37:43):
One of the big one of the big things on
social now is people taking classic instruments or classical instruments
and playing modern songs with them. There's a woman who
plays one of those giant harps and she only plays
tool songs. Oh wow, which is kind of cool but
also Brass against the Machine started this a while back,
and I would say, what's the juke? Also did that?
They took, you know, modern songs and then took old

(01:38:05):
styles and kind of made them, you know, kind of
cool to listen to.

Speaker 5 (01:38:08):
You haven't lived till you've been on Twitter and seen
five Hillbillies playing Thunderstruck right with the spoons and the
anvil and the guy who rolls up on the lawnmower
with the accordion with some kind of stuff animal yeah struck. Yeah,
And it's actually a really great rendition.

Speaker 2 (01:38:28):
Joseph Martin's plays in a lot of Sunday Morning that's super.

Speaker 3 (01:38:31):
Funny overalls and everything.

Speaker 2 (01:38:33):
I play guitar and I love it actually to this day,
I still play just the other morning. Do you guys
when you're doing work, do you take a little breaks
to kind of keep your interest? Do you guys do
that at all, Like a little five minute little sojourns
to kind of keep it going, Like after writing the
show for two or three or four hours or two
hours or whatever. I'll take a little break and do
something for fifteen ten to fifteen minutes. Yeah, but that's
something is like folding laundry or a different chore. Oh yeah,

(01:38:56):
not for me. I mean for me. My guitar's right there.
I'll set my computer down. I just picked my guitar
up and starting noodling around a little bit, just kind
of almost turn the etch a sketch over and shake
it a little bit. Still enjoy playing as much, I
should play a lot more. Probably a healthy habit. Yeah,
it is a healthy habit. What to do that for
you to take a break and do something creative? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you have to do I think that you should do

(01:39:17):
that in general. I mean, I know that's hard in
some office places, but just to go out and take
a little walk real quick or anything like that. When
we first started the show, these guys would tell you
after every break, I'd go out and I'd walk the
perimeter of the building just simply because I had so
much pent up energy from being ganked for being on
the air that it took me about two years and stuff.
Then did you ever give you take your instrument back up?

Speaker 3 (01:39:39):
Not clear enet.

Speaker 5 (01:39:40):
But like I said, I've really wanted to play cello.
But for me, like the train sets that Jack had
on earlier, for me, it's just doing my miniature crafts.

Speaker 2 (01:39:48):
Oh really A like that? Yeah, I get that because
it's very therapeutic for me, like learning songs on the guitar. Like,
my wife is a big Fleetwood Mac fan, so I
brought up Fleetwood Mac on a website called Ultimate Tab which.

Speaker 5 (01:40:01):
He's gonna serenade her? Jack, Oh, what's your song of
choice you're gonna serenade her with?

Speaker 2 (01:40:07):
Well, the one I can. I can play a number
of them. Actually, they're not that difficult, but the arrangement
of those songs makes them really interesting. But the chords
themselves aren't that difficult. But you can learn two, it
three pretty quickly.

Speaker 3 (01:40:19):
What is it Rhiannon?

Speaker 2 (01:40:21):
I actually did learn Rhianna. Yeah, yeah, there's one of them.

Speaker 5 (01:40:23):
It's the one you're gonna sing to her when she
walks in the door. Come on, you can tell us
she's not listening landslide.

Speaker 2 (01:40:28):
That was a little too complicated. God, what is the
one she likes a lot?

Speaker 18 (01:40:34):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (01:40:35):
Man?

Speaker 19 (01:40:35):
Uh, the.

Speaker 5 (01:40:43):
Ladies and gentlemen, it took me forever write this. The
singing and instrumental talents of show host Jim.

Speaker 2 (01:40:50):
Colper guaranteed not human looking to my ass, your ass
as ye look into it.

Speaker 13 (01:40:56):
You see.

Speaker 19 (01:40:59):
What you mean to me?

Speaker 6 (01:41:06):
Child?

Speaker 2 (01:41:08):
You guys are so jealous. You wish you could pull
this off.

Speaker 3 (01:41:11):
Hey, I've got dropped up dad, And.

Speaker 2 (01:41:13):
When you fan me you said no more. Don't tell me, rhom.
It's not giantul so on tune. It's scary. I mean,
it's completely in tune.

Speaker 3 (01:41:28):
What's scary is how much better AI has gotten.

Speaker 2 (01:41:33):
This is what the first iteration is true. Yeah, this
is the very first iteration years ago. Yeah, ceiling to visiting. Yeah,
about two years ago.

Speaker 9 (01:41:42):
And you you, you, and you and you and you.

Speaker 2 (01:41:47):
I wish I could sing. Of all the talents, I
wish that I had the same here. I wish I
could sing. I wish I could paint. I wish I
had that painting thing. Man, I you probably do. It's
like it's just like any other muscle. You just have
to just have to be willing to start and not
be a perfection. But that's what they say about singing.
They say that about singing, that anybody in the world
can sing. You have the ability to do it. Now

(01:42:09):
you just have to train yourself how to do it.
You know that that is right?

Speaker 23 (01:42:13):
That is I am.

Speaker 5 (01:42:17):
I am a tone deaf and could not carry a
tune if you gave me a bucket.

Speaker 2 (01:42:20):
You know who said that to me? You know the
person who said it. Okay, And I'll tell you why
I was taking guitar lessons. My daughter wanted to take
singing lessons. So I took my daughter to my guitar
lesson to meet the singing teacher, which is no Lensley Gallo.

Speaker 9 (01:42:36):
You know Lensley.

Speaker 2 (01:42:37):
Yeah. Lensley is a local artist. She's been playing around
town for many, many years. I've hired her to play
parties at my house a couple of times. She's wonderful.
She had a partner guitar player named Craig who plays
with her, or did for years. Yeah, and they did
the whole thing. She told me. She goes, like, anybody
can sing, you just have to learn how to do it.

Speaker 15 (01:42:56):
You have to.

Speaker 2 (01:42:56):
But you're right, not knowing the tune you're in is
going to be different. But I think you can learn that.

Speaker 3 (01:43:01):
I took singing lessons for a while, and it was like, yeah,
it's just not mine.

Speaker 2 (01:43:06):
I just you could sing, but your range is like
the width of a din exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:43:12):
But there's no Mariah Carey in here.

Speaker 2 (01:43:14):
But if you listen to guys like Jeff Howell, you know,
Jeff Howell doesn't like have a classically natural singing voice,
but he sings in tune because he knows how to
breathe and uses his core to how to sing. And
that's what most people get wrong. You try to sing
your throat, not your stomach. A lot of people have
gotten a lot out of the singing voice they have, right, Yeah,
no question. Yeah, I mean Tom Petty, I mean you

(01:43:35):
could do a se Yeah, you can name a thousand
of those people. But as long as it stays in tune,
that's the only thing. As long as you're not pitchy
and you jump out of tune, most people like you
can tolerate voices that don't really have that natural like
your Christina Aguilera or your you know, Mariah Carey kind
of quality of voice, that vocal range. Yeah, but you
can still have a unique voice or a lot of
people out there that sing in tune. He's yeah, a

(01:43:57):
good example, at a great example. Yeah, and there's tons
of them out there that. I mean, I would say that.
Even Bonnie Tyler, like from back in the day, you know,
she has a unique voice. Kim Carnes from back in
the eighties had a really unique gritty voice.

Speaker 3 (01:44:09):
I hated that.

Speaker 2 (01:44:10):
Did you really.

Speaker 3 (01:44:13):
Made me want to clear my throat?

Speaker 2 (01:44:14):
Yea, all of them now, though, I mean I don't
is there anybody that kind of doesn't like that anymore
that has that kind of sketchy, kind of right on
the right on the edge voice. I mean, all of
them sound so good now, Like even the dudes like
Teddy Swims and dudes like that, Yeah, and Stapleton, they
sound amazing. There's no I mean, Teddy's got a little
that smoky rasp from being a blues singer kind of thing.

(01:44:35):
But you know, mar of those guys voices are like
tonally perfect. You know, there's no like uniqueness anymore. There's
no like like you're saying Petty's or Elvis Costello's or
people like that who have just kind of unique meters
to the voice. David Byrne wasn't really a great singer
for the Talking Heads, oh yeah, but he made that work,
you know, just because the songs were good, the arrangements
were awesome. Yeah. This story, by the way, about this

(01:44:56):
about the therapeutic music is really really interesting if you
want to check it out. It's a cfpublic dot org,
which is a public media company and says musical therapy
clinics build memory, mobility, and even hope. And it talks
about how much these these uh, these places like Joyful
Music Therapy are tailored to people who had these issues,
and they show great advancements in and how people are

(01:45:18):
perceived music and just and just communicating with each other,
no doubt, it accesses a different part of your brain.
You could see it with Tony Bennett when Tony Bennett,
I believe it was dementia he had right towards the
end and he was kind of, you know, just conversation.
He'd be lost, he didn't know where he was. But

(01:45:39):
he walks out on stage with Lady Gaga and then
the music goes and then he's singing the songs again. Yeah,
but off stage he's kind of lost, right right right, No,
interesting that towards the end of his life there, and.

Speaker 5 (01:45:52):
That's what they've really found with like memory care centers.
Is that those folks, you know, because your short term
memory is so horribly affected. But if you play a
song from their youth, you know, from that pivotal time
in their life, maybe when their children were young, all
of a sudden, that spark comes back, those memories come back.
I may not play an instrument, but I know for
me personally, music is one of the most important things

(01:46:14):
in my life.

Speaker 2 (01:46:14):
It is one thousand I've heard take music.

Speaker 3 (01:46:16):
Over television any day of the week.

Speaker 2 (01:46:18):
I would take it over anything. I think. I would
take it over music, or excuse me, over movies and everything.
I find myself gravitating toward watching or listening to albums
more than watching old clips of TV shows or replays
or movies like that. I listen to way more music
than we do that I think.

Speaker 5 (01:46:33):
I think part of the reason is someone had texted
earlier that if you don't have music, it's it leaves
you not as a complete human being.

Speaker 2 (01:46:40):
That's exactly what it says in the story, by the way,
because it's true.

Speaker 5 (01:46:42):
It's it's something created by humans. I mean outside of
the techno part. I mean it's using wood, hair metal,
you know, to create glorious sounds.

Speaker 2 (01:46:52):
Well, not to mention it's one of our species earliest
forms of communication, exactly, right, celebration exactly. It says that Florida,
Florida Music there Be task force found that an estimated
fifteen and a half thousand residents receive music therapy services
every single week. So fifteen thousand people in the state
do this every single week. What percentage of people utilizing
music therapy are those on the autism spectrum? What percentage

(01:47:15):
of this group of the fifteen.

Speaker 3 (01:47:16):
Thousand, I'll say twenty five thirty.

Speaker 2 (01:47:20):
Sixty one percent Wow, of the people of those fifteen
thousand people are on the autism spectrum. And it shows
great promise because whereas autistic people sometimes cannot focus on
certain things, they find that when they play the music
that they're able to kind of more concentrate and focus
on what's happening with the music and not and tune
out what's happening around them, which is I guess difficult.

Speaker 5 (01:47:42):
Yeah, those spicy neurodivergent Yeah, definitely would appeal to the
music therapy.

Speaker 2 (01:47:47):
Text are dropping. Another example from one of my all
time favorite bands, Brian Johnson from ac DC No producer
would hear his voice and say, yeah, I think he
even says that, like when he auditioned, I think he
even because he's real self deprecating, so when he said
going into that audition, he actually to this day I
think he rags on his what you know, he does
the air quote singing thing. Yeah, but his voice is

(01:48:08):
so unique and it couldn't be more perfect for that band.

Speaker 3 (01:48:10):
You know, yeh works and that he did the air
quotes all the way to the bank.

Speaker 2 (01:48:13):
Yeah, it's kind of wild because you know, the singer
before that, you know, bon Scott did not have that
kind of voice. He actually kind of had a nasally
higher pitch voice. And then Johnson comes in with that
that gravelly thing that sounds like he's been like gargling
marbles for a month. Do you ever hear the story
that bon Scott saw like they knew each other. Uh,
they Brian Johnson and he kind of said he would

(01:48:34):
be a good no'd be good in our band? No, yeah,
like and so he kind of picked their picked his
own replacement.

Speaker 16 (01:48:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:48:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:48:42):
I will tell you though, some of the best listening
to if you there's a for you younger guys and
younger people out there listening younger ladies as well. There's
an old show called the Midnight Express is it Midnight
Express or Midnight Midnight Express, Bert Sugarman's Midnight Express or whatever,
And it was a show back in the day where
bands came and they played live. If it wasn't like
you could not play you know, you couldn't lip sync.

(01:49:03):
You had to set up and you had to play
the songs live. So it's some of the best recordings
of some of those old bands like that that you
can hear because it's professionally mixed and it's real. It's
not them playing the song and the band lip syncing
to it, and those are some of the best performances
you'll ever see. Midnight Special. Mid Night Special there you go,
super awesome. And there's a lot of bands on there

(01:49:24):
from YouTube from back in the day, from the Doobie
Brothers and the Almond Brothers too. I think even a
cdc abba like Rick James, and it's super cool.

Speaker 5 (01:49:32):
Someone a couple of people texted us at seven seven
zero three one letting us know that Steve and Seagulls
are the the Hillbilly band.

Speaker 2 (01:49:40):
Oh are they really?

Speaker 15 (01:49:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:49:41):
And apparently they also do November rain from guns n' roses.
Really it's right to follow for them accordion dude.

Speaker 2 (01:53:13):
It's time for jc S Trivia. Ya all right, Teresa,
this is a real easy game. Got a questionnaire? For
you have four answers. One of these answers is not true.
But if you can find that one, I'll send you
over to Jack and you can find something nice for
yourself from the old Jackie Seck. Are you ready?

Speaker 9 (01:53:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:53:31):
Here we go on this day and night. This is
a bit of a stretch, guys. I'm gonna give you
a heads up, all right. I had to use this
to get to what I wanted to talk about, So
just don don't want to hear anything on this day
in nineteen o five, known as the White Death, Simo Haya,
a Finnish army sniper with a confirm five hundred kills,

(01:53:52):
was born. Here are three fun facts about snipers and
one click left of a lie. Oh nice. All right,
So we're talking about snipers here, people who shoot people
with a rifle. Jack, stop shaking your eard. You had
to go deep on that. That was a stretch, buddy.
It was a tough day to day. You had to
go deep.

Speaker 21 (01:54:10):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:54:10):
We're talking about snipers, which one of these is not true.
Number one, snipers are cost effective. In Vietnam, it took
fifty thousand rounds to kill one soldier. A sniper does
it with one point three rounds. Number two, female Russian
sniper Ludmila Pavlochenko had to confirm two hundred and fifteen

(01:54:31):
kills during World War Two. Thirty six of those were
other snipers. Number three the camouflage Gilli suits snipers used
to hide were actually invented by Scottish farmers to catch
sheep poachers. Or Lastly, a British sniper once killed six
men with one shot by shooting a suicide bomber and

(01:54:51):
triggering the bomb. Which one of those is a lie.

Speaker 3 (01:54:54):
I shouldn't celebrate.

Speaker 2 (01:54:57):
I'm gonna say no, that's absolutely true. Seriously, he shot.
He actually was sniping the person who happened to be
holding a grenade that had pin pulled out. When he
shot him, the guy dropped their grenade. The other people
didn't know it. It smoked the entire foxhole. WHOA yeah, yeah,

(01:55:18):
uh one, two, three or five? Let's go three, let's
go three, let's go to Bill, Bill, how you doing
I'm doing off? So Jimmy, all right, buddy, we're talking
about snipers here, which one of these is not true.
Snipers are cost effective. In Vietnam, it took about fifty
thousand rounds to kill one soldier. A sniper did it
with just one point three rounds. Number two female Russian
sniper Ludmilla Pavlochinko had to confirm two hundred and fifteen

(01:55:40):
kills during World War two, thirty six were other snipers.
Or Lastly, the camouflage gilly suits that snipers used to
hide were actually invented by Scottish farmers to catch sheep poachers.
I'm gonna go number one, Jim, No, that's absolutely true. Unfortunately,
that's a weird stat to read. I think I had
to read it more than once and kind of reconfirm it.

(01:56:01):
What they're trying to say is in the jungle, when
they were shooting collectively, it would take fifty thousand rounds
to confirm one soldier shot and killed, whereas a sniper
could do it with one point three bullets. In other words,
even if they missed once, chances are they could reload
and get off another round before they knew what was
going on. I just thought they estimated how many deaths
there were of the enemy and how much ammunitions that

(01:56:24):
they went through. Yeah, and then just did the map.
Probably did that as well. Yeah, that's a lot of
bullets one, two or five?

Speaker 3 (01:56:30):
Let's go too.

Speaker 2 (01:56:31):
Two is Clint, Clint, how you doing.

Speaker 3 (01:56:34):
Careful of that?

Speaker 9 (01:56:35):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (01:56:35):
Good, even y'all. Hey, but they were talking about snipers there, Clint,
which one of these is not true? You got a
fifty to fifty shot here, buddy. Female Russian sniper Ludmila
Povchinko had to confirm two hundred and fifteen kills during
World War Two. Thirty six of those were other snipers.
Or lastly, the camouflage gilly suits that snipers used to
hide were actually invented by Scottish farmers to catch sheep poachers.

Speaker 8 (01:56:58):
Let's say the first one, that's the one.

Speaker 2 (01:57:02):
Tell me how many she actually had?

Speaker 9 (01:57:05):
Oh, I have no idea.

Speaker 2 (01:57:06):
I just figured the number. Yeah, three hundred and nine kills.
Thirty six of those were actually other snipers. Guess how
big she was? Five one? Yeah, guess how big the things.
By the way, you're a winner of the Clina engratulation.
The guy that we were talking about the reason why
we had this, the finished guy, he had five hundred kills.
He was five to three and he got shot in

(01:57:27):
the face by a Russian and still kept shooting. Wow. Dude,
it's crazy. When you get into that sniper kind of thing,
they start talking some language that's very interesting. There's a
stat here I'm gonna tell you in a second that's
mind blowing.

Speaker 5 (01:57:39):
Well, what's cool is I believe when Ludmila had met
a Queen Elizabeth and they'd asked, like what you do
and she was like sniper.

Speaker 2 (01:57:46):
They were like what yeah, yeah you yeah, she's tiny,
she's tiny by one and they called her. They called
her Lady Death or something like that. Shit a nickname,
Lady Death. Yeah, it was Lady Death. A couple other things.
And I know about snipers before we get to the
top of the hour, Ross calling in to find out
what's on good sauce. Here, snipers are considered the deadliest

(01:58:07):
people on the battlefield. That's why when they're captured, they're
almost always executed on the spot. Really, yeah, that's the thing.
What's the second most deadly person on the battlefield? This
was fascinating outside the box here medic the second not medic, oh, priest.

(01:58:27):
The second most deadly person on the battlefield is the
radio operator. Because they can call they can call in
strikes on your inventory, on your crew, and that makes
them the second deadliest person. They actually mentioned that in
the context of this article. Is kind of interesting there,
all those sniper head shots are the most talked about.
They primarily actually aim for the chest more death in

(01:58:49):
this area here than the head, a much smaller target. Yeah,
although when you watch movies, all the sniper shots are
head shots, right, well, even in your video games, right,
whenever they show like the cross Yeah, they're always putting
the person's head in it, right, snipers, or this is
the stat I was telling you about. This is the
last one here. Snipers are very good at factoring in

(01:59:09):
environmental and physics challenge challenges when sighting a mark. Right,
So some of these shots are literally from like a
half a mile away. So the bullet, the bullets dropping,
even though it's going you know, a billion miles an
hour per second, the bullet's dropping from the minute it
leaves the muzzle, right, I mean, just physics, do that right?
Factor this in. In two thousand and three, a Royal

(01:59:31):
British sniper killed in a Rocky Soldier. How far left
and high did he aim to hit this mark?

Speaker 3 (01:59:40):
Do not ask me these questions.

Speaker 2 (01:59:41):
In other words, he had to aim so many feet
left and so many feet high five feet three feet
to justify the bullet dropping, and then the environmental wind
and the heat and all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:59:51):
He said five feet three feet.

Speaker 2 (01:59:53):
Yeah, I'll say.

Speaker 3 (01:59:56):
Four feet three feet.

Speaker 2 (01:59:57):
He aimed fifty eight feet left, thirty eight feet high
and hittinghim dead in the square four forehead.

Speaker 7 (02:00:04):
No.

Speaker 2 (02:00:04):
In other words, I if that's Jack and I'm trying
to shoot Jack. According to this, I would be pulling
the trigger over here, literally shooting it into the nether,
knowing that bullet is gonna move forty eight feet right
and drop fifty eight feet and he hit the dude
right in the head. Confirmed by the way, crazy right,
No way for a seven nine one six Dudes out there,

(02:00:26):
military dudes are geeking right now.

Speaker 5 (02:00:27):
I'm geeking at the skill that would tag it's crazy, man.
They do all this out there with a slide rule
and the calculator.

Speaker 2 (02:00:33):
One of the most successful snipers in history never used
the scope. He used the iron sights that came with
the gun that would flip up, and he had a
measured to certain yardages. That's how good that dude was,
all right for a seven nine one six one four
one text us seven seven zero three one. Back in
a second, we'll talk to Ross find know what's happening
for good Sauce. Welcome back to the Jim Colber shot

I kind of need you to take a proactive dun't
before you show up to my Christmas party.

Speaker 9 (02:03:12):
Right, all right, that's just the rules. That's Christmas rules.

Speaker 2 (02:03:16):

Speaker 6 (02:03:20):
All right, this is what everyone should do this Christmas,
and we're about to do it live on air.

Speaker 9 (02:03:25):

Speaker 2 (02:03:45):
Third Street, thirty forty four.

Speaker 9 (02:03:48):
Thirty fourth that's how Orlando I am.

Speaker 2 (02:03:51):
It would be more of a miracle in thirty third.

Speaker 9 (02:03:57):
That actually does happen.

Speaker 6 (02:03:59):
All right, all right, deb, Deb, talk to me two
favorite Christmas movies.

Speaker 5 (02:04:02):
Shoot him out, It's a Wonderful Life, and the animated
movie The Star.

Speaker 6 (02:04:07):
Okay, well, animated movie The Star is your only one.
I need another one because it was already taken from Jim.

Speaker 3 (02:04:14):
Oh Man I'll go with Home Alone.

Speaker 2 (02:04:18):
That's a good one. Yeah, I do like that. Hold up, I.

Speaker 6 (02:04:20):
Don't know how you can say home alone as if
you are annoyed by that choice.

Speaker 9 (02:04:26):
That's a perfect you just dunket on that. Props to
the chef Jack.

Speaker 8 (02:04:32):
Two movies.

Speaker 2 (02:04:33):
I will take Elf and also, yeah, and did Christmas
specials count or like he said, the movies, he clearly
said movie. He clearly said no, if there was another
twenty minutes in it, it would be a movie. Whatever.
So you need a second movie. And Jim already took
that one. I will say a dog Walker's Christmas Jesus.

Speaker 9 (02:04:57):
Oh okay, God almighty is that Hallmark?

Speaker 2 (02:05:01):
I was just about imagine what imagine working with that
full time.

Speaker 3 (02:05:06):
I've never seen a home.

Speaker 2 (02:05:09):
I just that name got stuck in my head a
couple of years ago, and I will keep bringing it back.

Speaker 6 (02:05:15):
All right, I'm going Jingle all the way, Jingle all
the way. And my other Christmas movie, let's go with
I'm thinking Jim Carrey Grinch, Jim Carrey Grinch, Grinch. All right,
all right, now we have to quickly seed this very fast. Guys,

(02:05:35):
don't hate the messenger. I'm just the bear of the truth.
Here we go Elf number one seed. We are going
Grinch number two seed. We are going to go wonderful
Life as our third seed.

Speaker 9 (02:05:51):
Boom boom boom.

Speaker 6 (02:05:53):
You guys following me here, Wonderful Life is We're gonna
go home alone as our fourth.

Speaker 9 (02:05:59):

Speaker 6 (02:06:05):
From from the top rope out of nowhere plot twist.
We have Scrooged on the setting right here, beautiful, So
jingle all the way will be my six. You see
how this is breaking down here because because now I
know it's not the great radio when you just hear
someone working in the same thing.

Speaker 9 (02:06:24):
But check this out. This is when we go Miracle
is our thing. And then Animated Star.

Speaker 6 (02:06:32):
We have our seed, our ranking for our Christmas movie
up to date, and it's the quickest way. And when
it's quick, it's guttural. It's from the soul. We have
Elf versus Animated Star. I don't think we really need
to vote on that.

Speaker 3 (02:06:50):
Nope, now I will.

Speaker 9 (02:06:55):
I will say this.

Speaker 6 (02:06:56):
I would love to hear a good reason why Animated
Star is better.

Speaker 5 (02:07:03):
Than Elf, because it is actually the story about why
we celebrate Christmas, and it's a really cute story capitalism.

Speaker 6 (02:07:12):
Well, I thought Elf was also about I thought Elf
was also about Christmas because he's has daddy issues.

Speaker 9 (02:07:20):
Okay, this is what I'm trying to say, is Elf
is moving on.

Speaker 8 (02:07:25):
Now.

Speaker 9 (02:07:25):
We have Miracle on thirty fourth Street versus The Grinch.

Speaker 18 (02:07:29):
What say you?

Speaker 2 (02:07:30):
Oh man, Oh that's tough. The Grinch movie. Oh yeah,
I'm glad for me. It's miracle, but I mean miracle, Miracle, Oh, miracle.

Speaker 9 (02:07:40):
That says something about I'm just saying that's I mean
the Grinch. Jim Carrey, whoa.

Speaker 2 (02:07:45):
That says we're not afraid of black and white movies.
That's right, that's what it says. We're not afraid, buddy.

Speaker 9 (02:07:54):
Say, I'm just saying that. That's the only time.

Speaker 6 (02:07:59):
I just want to point out, that's the only time
Jim has ever said, yeah what Jack said.

Speaker 2 (02:08:05):
You're not wrong. I just signed a deal I don't
want to get.

Speaker 6 (02:08:09):
I'm very happy to be a bridge every now and then. Okay, Elf,
Miracle on thirty fourth Street. Now they move on Miracle.
We have Wonderful Life versus Jingle all.

Speaker 2 (02:08:21):
The way wonderful. Get out of here, Yeah, get out
of here, not even close. That's angering actually yeah, okay,

Yeah, I think you gotta go scrooged.

Speaker 2 (02:09:04):
Yeah, I would go scrooged. I would I picked Scrooge
and I'd go home alone.

Speaker 9 (02:09:12):
Now here's the thing.

Speaker 6 (02:09:14):
I am also home alone, which means we do have
to break a pool que in half and then just
let us add it.

Speaker 9 (02:09:21):
I'm joking.

Speaker 6 (02:09:22):
We will go with home Alone just to kind of
spice it up when it comes to you know, we'll
get a newer movie in there as well. All right,
Elf versus home alone?

Speaker 9 (02:09:32):
What say you?

Speaker 2 (02:09:34):
Oh man? Elf? Elf?

Speaker 3 (02:09:35):
Home alone?

Speaker 2 (02:09:36):
Elf? Elf? Elf? Oh, I'm with you.

Speaker 6 (02:09:39):
I'm with dev on that home alone versus Elf, But
we gotta move Elf moves on. Miracle on thirty fourth
Street almost said thirty third again versus a Wonderful Life.

Speaker 2 (02:09:52):
Wonderful Life, perfect movie.

Speaker 6 (02:09:54):
And here we go, ladies and gentlemen, in our finals.
You play Michael Jordan, Chicago Bulls Music or Elf versus
Wonderful Life. The Official Christmas Movie of The Jim Colbert.

Speaker 9 (02:10:11):
Show, twenty twenty five edition.

Speaker 21 (02:10:14):
What say you?

Speaker 2 (02:10:15):
It's It's a Wonderful Life.

Speaker 9 (02:10:22):
That was way more dramatic than I ever thought it
could have been.

Speaker 2 (02:10:26):
Yeah, It's a Wonderful Life. Is a perfect movie. It's
a perfect holiday movie. It is a perfect story. It's
perfectly acted, the dialogue is perfect, it's perfectly shot, the
message it's perfect. It's a perfect film.

Speaker 6 (02:10:39):
So this is an exercise that I think all Christmas
parties can do if you're trying to break ice, because
it's just give me your two favorite movies and you
do an eight movie knockout bracket.

Speaker 9 (02:10:51):
That should kill it.

Speaker 6 (02:10:52):
Around the bonfire, all you need is a pen and
pencil and paper. Actually you just need actually two of
those three things.

Speaker 2 (02:11:04):
Lastly, and a.

Speaker 9 (02:11:04):
Fire and a fire you also need that.

Speaker 6 (02:11:08):
And lastly, Jack perfect music for this, because I'm going
to say something negative, but it is one hundred percent true.
The date is December seventeenth, and we touch on this
topic a lot tonight at eight o'clock.

Speaker 9 (02:11:24):
Do not make your gifts. You're out of time.

Speaker 6 (02:11:31):
I'm here to tell the dads, deep inside of your heart,
you think you can make that diorama, you cannot. You
think you can make that little miniature that your wife
is into. That is also another thing you cannot do.
And here's why Christmas gives us the Dunning Kruger effect
every year, where we think, oh, I can make that,

(02:11:56):
you can't. You've never evolved past hand turkeys. Unless you
have thirty to forty hours and or a particular previous
set of skills. You're not gonna make her that chair.
You're not gonna make that. You're not gonna crochet that blanket.
And that is what is up on Good Sauce, episode

(02:12:20):
eighty something.

Speaker 2 (02:12:21):
Eighty seven, eighty seven. Thank you all right, guys, it's
lust tonight, eight o'clock with Joel. Who's on with you tonight,
Joel Ronado, John, the whole crew?

Speaker 7 (02:12:32):
What?

Speaker 9 (02:12:33):
Oh yeah, the whole crew. We have Joel back.

Speaker 6 (02:12:36):
It is probably a top ten episode, to be honest
with you, not even probably. We all love to seeing
each other and being back in the same room. It's
a very very fun episode, and I think it's a
perfect way to kick off your Christmas vines.

Speaker 2 (02:12:50):
Perfect. Everybody shooting tonight eight o'clock. Listen to good Sauce, Budy.
We'll see tomorrow for sure.

Speaker 9 (02:12:53):
Right, all right, one more thing. It's eighty percent twenty percent,
eighty percent fake tree.

Speaker 2 (02:13:01):
Yeaheah yeah yeah, yeah, so much easier. Yeah, you don't
look Yeah, don't be disappointed. Yeah, alright, very good, all right,
but we'll see tomorrow for sure. There is Ross Patchet's
not good Sauce, all right, borrow seven nine one four
one text does at seven seven zeros. We went back
in a second with more digitim corporate shows. They right
there Christmas movies and not the one of you said

(02:13:36):
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

Speaker 9 (02:13:38):
My bad shame.

Speaker 2 (02:13:41):
I would have taken that overstrewed man. Yeah, oh really,
oh definitely mean yeah, no, no way, yeah, not a chance.
A good movie.

Speaker 3 (02:13:50):
But they're giving free hot dogs out at Djay's.

Speaker 17 (02:13:56):
Friend of mine and his wife went there and giving
on all dioddies and stuff.

Speaker 5 (02:14:01):
Did just get a video?

Speaker 2 (02:14:02):
I got a video. I didn't get anything free I
didn't buy anything today and they close at seven. I'm
a little upset. I think I'm wild. I'm gonna go
back tomorrow and hang out. Why did they close so early?
Don't Costco and Sam's close it like nine or ten
or something. I think it's eight? Is it for Costco?
But by the way, that was Larry? Happy birthday, Larry,
Today's birthday? Birthday, Larry Man. All right, welcome back. I'm Jim.

(02:14:26):
There's ev Hello, Jack is here as well? Sure another
good show. Friend of Bars actually emailed me this morning
and asked me for a heads up on how to
prepare a certain dish for a Christmas party at his work.
You know him, I don't know if you do. You
may know his name, Yeah, we've talked about him before.

(02:14:46):
He text me. He goes, hey, man, I have a
Christmas party and I'm taking I want to take this
particular dish. Do you have any tips? Fifteen deviled egg? No,
that's funny, And I thought it was a very odd
choice for Christmas party food. I actually told him, I said,
this is a very unique, bold choice to take to
a Christmas party.

Speaker 3 (02:15:04):
Gespatchow no, hummus, mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (02:15:08):
Think new Orleans. Oh a tuffe begnets. Think South Carolina
because that's where it came from. Everybody believes it's a
New Orleans. But it's not shrimp and grits. He's taking
shrimp and grits to his company Christmas party. What an
odd choice, right, I think it's a good choice. Oh no,

(02:15:29):
it's a great choice. I send him a really good
recipe when I actually when I kind of pulled from online.
I sent it to him today and I said, these
are the things I do to this recipe to make
it the way I like it. But it's gonna be
a good time. He's gonna be a good time. They
will really like it. The key is the grits, and
the key is to always have a little bit of
lemon juice in your sauce. A lot of people don't
do that. I the recipe that I have did not

(02:15:50):
add lemon juice. Also, I like my sauce a little
bit of tomato in there, and which is not. I
don't believe it's traditional for that sauce.

Speaker 3 (02:15:57):
I wouldn't know the difference.

Speaker 2 (02:15:58):
A little bit of Worcester shear in there as well,
just to couple drops to make it come alive. Man.
Shrimping grits are the greatest, big fluffy grits with milk
and chicken stock instead of just water.

Speaker 7 (02:16:09):
So good.

Speaker 2 (02:16:10):
All right, So I told you guys that you know,
in this company, we talked about this just the other day,
that our company is really focused on letting everybody know
that we don't use AI. And you've already heard some
of that on the station. You know, authentically human kind
of thing. Actually, that's one of our big mantors going
into twenty twenty six as we face this AI revolution

(02:16:32):
creating content for whether it be movies, film, radio, whatever
the case may be. You know, we've learned that you know,
or we believe, that people don't like that. They want
authentic content created by human beings who you know, experience
life just the way they do. You know, what does
an AI bot know about, you know, getting to school
on time, pick up your kid, or how you know,
or how to save money while dropping for Christmas? They

(02:16:53):
don't know that, right, And I found it interesting because
we now this has all been a theory I believe
from our company. I know they probably have some research
to prove that that people do want uh want that
entire thing. Right, So what'd you get there?

Speaker 18 (02:17:08):
Jack?

Speaker 2 (02:17:08):
What are you gonna? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to
distract you there, but I just had a bunch of
great information come over to the tech. Sam's open to
eight o'clock Costco aight thirty and through the Christmas season
bjas's open until tag Nice's there right now listening to us.
Uh So that's right. So with this AI thing, there's

(02:17:29):
this massive pushback. Well it happened in real time this
weekend on one of our favorite shows in Saturday Night Live, right,
so the big story came up. This is a this
is Cracked dot com from Cracked magazine. But it doesn't matter.
The writing is still good here. And what it's saying
is this. It says during the weekend updates segment. You
know how they do this. They'll throw the stories back

(02:17:51):
and forth and they'll use chirons or some imagery in
the background to show you, you know, what they're talking about.
And the one of the segments or one of the
pieces they were doing, it was about gambling and people
who go to casinos. So when they showed an image,
the image was a woman sitting at a slot machine
with that oxygen tank cart thing with the tube going

(02:18:12):
into our mouth. That's what they were talking about. The
image was created using AI and you can see it immediately,
like if you go and you google this image of
this woman sitting there, you know for a fact without
I mean, just one glance and you know what was
created by AI. Its AI stuff has that certain texture
to it where it's kind of easy to spot. They
got destroyed online for doing this. I mean, people coming

(02:18:36):
out of the woodwork, fans of SNL for forty and
fifty years saying what are you doing? You know, you
couldn't have done that through photoshop and made it like
they normally do, because if you know.

Speaker 3 (02:18:47):
Those how about just go to Getty images.

Speaker 2 (02:18:49):
Whatever's basically what they were saying is you couldn't have
just used the person that's been doing this to create
these images for your bit for the longest time. You
have to lean on this slop, this ai.

Speaker 18 (02:18:59):
J to do it.

Speaker 2 (02:19:01):
And I have to tell you, I found that very
interesting and started kind of looking around and man, that
is a predominant feeling in America and from people who consume,
you know, content at a certain level, whether it be
a TV show, whatever the case may be. They don't
want AI near their content. It's is born out of
a fear of people losing their jobs. So it may

(02:19:21):
or may not be because I consider that as well.
And one of the reasons why is one of the
people who made a comment about this said that very
thing said, you know, who had to lose their job
so somebody could type in a five second prompt and
have AI spit out this garbage, right, So that was
the visceral you know, hate for the idea of doing this.
And I agree with Jack hundred percent. I think what's
gonna happen is I think Americans are just going to

(02:19:43):
go we don't want it. We don't want your AI junk,
we don't want it on TVs, we don't want it
in movies. We don't want our music being like this.
We don't want any of this. We want stuff creative
by human beings to connect with other human beings. And
I will tell you it's so funny they talk about
this AI revolution. I think maybe so in some certain
facets of business. I don't know if it's going to

(02:20:04):
do all that well. In entertainment. I don't know that
people are going to accept it. I don't think people
are going to look at AI created content and think
it's genuine or like it because it doesn't seem like
it's connecting to you as a person.

Speaker 5 (02:20:16):
Well, I know in the arts community, right, artists, photographers,
even supermodels, everybody's freaking out because all of that stuff
can just be AI generated but no authenticity to it.

Speaker 2 (02:20:28):
But the problem is deb is yes they can, but
if people start saying I ain't watching it, you know,
I'm not going to consume this product because of how
it looks, they will stop doing it. That's really the pushback.
And like we've learned, is the powers and the purse.
I understand the feeling, but this is such a nothing burger.
I watch Saturday Night Live. It's one image. It's whether

(02:20:49):
it's photoshop or they use AI to generate it. You know,
a woman sitting at a slot machine. It's the backlash
over this just seems so over the top and a
bit contrived. Why do you think that that's interesting because
we're in the same boat here. Why do you believe that.
I don't believe that at all. Actually I believe I

(02:21:11):
believe there's a genuine concern for forgetting content that doesn't
really get the most out of your entertainers. Why do
you need to have a great sense of humor? Why
do you need to be a good artist? But I
can just go into chat GBT and pop in what
I want to see and it spits out some kind
of crap that has no viability, no use, and no soul.
It's there. They wrote the joke, humans delivered wrote the joke,

(02:21:33):
delivered the joke.

Speaker 6 (02:21:34):
This was.

Speaker 2 (02:21:35):
You know, it's a fake news segment where they show
an image over their shoulder, right, yes, ye percent. So
it was just an image to compliment the joke they
were telling.

Speaker 4 (02:21:47):
I just.

Speaker 2 (02:21:49):
If it wasn't if it wasn't a big deal, then
why would they complain? Why would people go out of
their way to complain just the sake of complaint. I
think people are ultra sensitive to the AI being used,
like forced into the things they normally consume. Yeah, yeah,
like an artificial sweetener or something. It's like, you know,
we're saying we don't want this, take it back, And

(02:22:12):
so I think there's an overreaction to this where it's
to one image, you know. So it's like almost saying,
when you first started being able to manipulate photos with photoshops, saying, wait,
that's not reality, that that's an artificial scene, because it is.
It's just a human creating the artificial scene. So now

(02:22:34):
it's a human writing a prompt and a computer creating
the artificial scene. It's no more authentic than photoshop. Is
I disagree because it doesn't. I mean, although the human
pops in the prompt, the prompt is just telling the
machine what to do, as opposed to using your own
creativity to create the image in you know, how a
person would think it's funny, not how I think it's funny.

(02:22:56):
It's still a person using a computer to create an image.
You're just using a different program. Interesting, well that I
will tell you, and I understand your take. But the
blowback here is real. I mean you can read comment
after comment after comment, and I do wonder if the
tenure of the AI will be determined by the customer.
And that's how things happen, you know, I mean, we

(02:23:16):
know for a fact that happens. We know for a
fact that if empowered, you know a group of people
can take down let's say, the biggest beer company in
the world. Yeah, if empowered. So you know, my point
is is, if people don't like AI enough, they just
simply won't inject themselves into properties or companies that use it. Primarily.

(02:23:36):
I mean they may you're right, Jack, they may take
this one image and go, hey, it's just one image
and in a fifteen or twenty minute segment, what's the
big deal? But I mean if this, if this flew
by the night and nobody said a word, then you
would be inundated with this stuff on SNL because they
would have assumed by nobody complaining about it, they had
to pass. I think it's kind of like the resistance

(02:23:56):
is creating a zero tolerance policy, and it's trying to
put employers and corporations on notice that if you use
AI instead of humans, there will be a backlash and
we will not support that. So I think that's why
there's so much fury over this to kind of say

(02:24:20):
we're not having it.

Speaker 19 (02:24:21):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:24:22):
That's kind of my point, is the fact that it's
just this picture. But think about this. Let's say that
you and I and deb we thought to ourselves, even
ross right, Let's say that we said, hey, AI, create
a fifteen minute radio segment using all of our voices
and opinions, give the prompt to what the topic is
going to be right, and then let it rip, and
it creates a fifteen minute segment of us interacting with

(02:24:42):
Deb with Jack, with Ross, and Jack with Ross, and
Deb Me and Jack, Me and Ross. We're all interacting
and we're coming up with conversation about whatever topic we
enter into the protocol right or into the prompt right.
If we put that on the air, we would be
slammed relentlessly. It would be consider a cop out, even
though even if the segment was entertaining, it would still

(02:25:05):
be considered a cop out. And that's the same theory
out than do you do you agree with that? Do
you think do you think we puled up in a
room and said, hey, make this thing, make a fifteen
minute segment instead of doing the five o'clock hour. You know,
we come up at five, we go to five twelve,
we just play this segment.

Speaker 3 (02:25:19):
Well, I mean, first of all, we'd get in trouble period.

Speaker 2 (02:25:22):
Yeah, I understand, But why do you think that the
listener would think about it?

Speaker 5 (02:25:25):
Um from the company email and the research that they
did do. The more and more AI creeps into like
the social media feeds where you can't trust.

Speaker 2 (02:25:34):
The videos that you see it is already happening.

Speaker 5 (02:25:37):
But I've said before, I'll go to the comments before
I'll like anything, just to see, okay, is this right AI?

Speaker 2 (02:25:44):
And there's some voices where you hear you know it's
a I or just there's so much and as far
as AI slop in the word of the year whatever. Yeah,
you know on YouTube, there's just on social media, it's
so much because all they needed a clicks, so they
don't care if it why you're clicking. And but if
you're watching their channel and it's anything you search, you

(02:26:07):
are you're consuming AI without it being identified as artificially created. Yeah,
a lot of the email you may receive from executives
as you move up the ladder would be AI because
they don't have time to sit and type out every email.
I know that's for a fact, but I mean, if
you've got to let's say you read it. You read
an article and you love the article, right, and you
found out it was an AI article? Yeah, Or you

(02:26:27):
heard a song that was awesome and you heard and
you found out, like this is creative with the AI,
do you have the same feeling for it that you
do if you know it's created by a person or.

Speaker 3 (02:26:35):
You watch a movie and you find out the actress
is an Ai.

Speaker 2 (02:26:38):
Yeah, do you have that same vibe as a human
that you connect when somebody else does something creative if
it's done with just a machine, even though the creative
person entered the information to get the image or song. No,
I don't either. Yeah, what's it? It's Uncanny Valley is
a firm fifteen years ago. I'm not even sure if

(02:27:02):
they're still out there. They did like special effects and
stuff for movies, and recently I was watching Life of Pie. Yes,
and so the review of it fantastic movie. But they
were talking about CGI and that as you try and
mimic humans, when when humans see it, and there's always

(02:27:25):
something that's a little off polar express, Yeah, and it
makes it's unnerving that so they talk about that's what
it is. It's Uncanny Valley. The valley is the dip
in perception of people when they realize that that what
they're looking at is not real. Who was the actor
that died in the middle of the shoot and they
Paul Walker, right, and they were gonna use AI to

(02:27:46):
to put his face on an act or CGI? Yeah,
CG had to put a face on his and remember
the blowback on that. Just the idea of doing that,
I mean, the idea of the holograms that people you know,
you get are just the idea of using AI to
talk to a dead relative. You know, it's just like
one of those things. It's just kind of well, oddly unhuman. Yeah,
and that is and that's because you are having as

(02:28:08):
a conversation is being generated more to the example of
like you did if we did a segment that way,
it's being generated like by your aunt who passed away,
and generating a conversation that she never had. She never
put those words together. She never had that thought. It
could be basing it on everything it knows about her,

(02:28:29):
but still she never That's not an organic thought that
she had. That would be an interesting experiment to do that,
to ask AI to use our voices, because it would
do that. There's plenty of there's plenty of Ryan did
it live in real time during the monsters and had
them do a segment, yeah, or a section of a segment,

(02:28:49):
took their voices put it in.

Speaker 16 (02:28:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:28:51):
It's uh, was it wild? What was amazing was that
he could turn it around as fast as he did
within you know, within a segment. Yeahahah, and deliver back
a second. Matter of fact, I think they included you
as well. Oh really, yeah, that'd been interesting. Look, I
would think it would be very interesting to hear how
it handles a specific topic, Like you could do the
one we had today about the executive order tomorrow to

(02:29:15):
relist marijuana as a Schedule three drug to change its scheduling.
We could do that, you could, so you could just
tell it, hey, look, you know, make the Jim Colbert Show,
Deb Roberts, Jim Colbert, Jack Bradshawn Ross Paget, have a
conversation regarding the President signing this executive order. Have it
last eleven minutes, Have it cover all aspects of the

(02:29:37):
new executive order. Have it be comedic, you know, and
and have it be irreverent. And I wonder what it
would spit out, no cursing, follow FCC laws. Of course,
you could tell it to do that. It would be
able to scan all the laws theoretically and not break
any I think that would be fascinating. I mean, if
you wanted to use AI, you could get stuff like this.

Speaker 18 (02:29:57):
If you're looking for a radio show that is not
with humor, entertainment and a whole lot of personality. Look
no further than the Jim Colbert Show.

Speaker 2 (02:30:05):
There you go, Who's that?

Speaker 18 (02:30:07):
That's us confidence that he is one of the most
talented and underappreciated radio personal discovered Jim when he was
a part of the Monsters in the Morning Show, and
I always felt that he was undervalued and under used
on that show. But now that he has his own show,
I can see that he was always destined for greatness.
He has an incredible ability to connect with his audience

(02:30:27):
and made him feel like they are a part of
the show. His humor is sharp, sweaty, and always.

Speaker 2 (02:30:32):
On point interesting.

Speaker 18 (02:30:32):
But what I love most about the Jim Colbert Show
is the wide variety of topics and guests.

Speaker 2 (02:30:37):
I like Jim Russiate.

Speaker 18 (02:30:38):
Politics to pop culture. There is never a dull moment.

Speaker 2 (02:30:41):
I love the show. Never a dull moment. He says, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I love it all right. Four seven the way were
guaranteed human? That was not human? Seven seven zero three one, Yeah,
you're right. We got to tell you when that's not human?

Speaker 3 (02:30:55):
Yeah, exactly, do that.

Speaker 2 (02:30:57):
Hey, what do you ever knows?

Speaker 5 (02:30:58):
Trump to address the name in primetime tonight, Spirit's going
to keep planes flying through the holidays. EA, and don't
forget your tickets for tonight's Powerball drawing. We'll talk about
that next during You heard it here first.

Speaker 2 (02:31:10):
All right, saying little break, We'll come back and get
dev's news and get the hell out of here. On
a Wednesday, our friends at tklaw want to remind us
to look ahead. So looking Ahead on the on Real

Also, Lady was actual friends with Eleanor Roosevelt during World
War Two and they would, I think if I murmer correctly,
during the Cold War, Elan Roosevelt would actually go to
Moscow and visit for at the lady's name of the
Sniper Lady, and they just remain close friends throughout their lives.

Speaker 2 (02:32:20):
And yeah, I hope you guys have a warmle day
by thanks, but I appreciate that.

Speaker 12 (02:32:23):
Hey, o'honnah. Being a big fan of shooting sports, I
build a very expensive three O eight caliber rifle for
a six hundred yard qualifier. Even those six hundred yards
isn't really that far in the shooting world. But made
a very interesting friend who team out of a very
elite group of army rangers, went on to be a
sniper instructor at Fort Bragg also, And when you're describing

(02:32:47):
those shooting coefficients from that distance, makes perfect sense.

Speaker 2 (02:32:51):
Aloha, hello, I brought it. Yeah, well, I had to
read it a couple of times, and again, when I
see something that seems so damn bombastic that it can't
be true, I do extra reach on it. And it
was confirmed. And actually with the lady sniper, I did
the same thing. I had no idea that that prominence
she had with our government, but I didn't see any
of that. But the other guy, Yeah, that fifty eight

(02:33:11):
forty five foot thing was confirmed a couple of places,
and it's it's relatively recent, just twenty years ago.

Speaker 5 (02:33:17):
Well, and for the woman, I mean to have a
female sniper, right yeah, it was unheard of.

Speaker 2 (02:33:21):
Yeah, and those rifles like the one that our brother
Matt there was talking about. You know, my uncle hundred
would have three to eight. It's a pretty good depending
on the grain of the round that you get. I
mean that that thing can offer a pretty good little recoil.
It kicked you pretty good. So she was five to one. Yeah,
So imagine how how stout she must have been, or
how tough she must have been, you know, not only
being from Russia, I mean five to one and then

(02:33:43):
being a sniper with you know, five hundred and three
hundred and nine kills and thirty six of those were
other snipers.

Speaker 3 (02:33:49):
I think you covered it when you said Russian.

Speaker 2 (02:33:51):
Yeah, yeah, all right, welcome back. I'm Jim devis here yea,
and so is Jack. Hey, coming up to our Danny
will not be in. We've seen Danny for the remainder
of the Yearbolt. We will have have Santa Clausman in tomorrow.
So if you're listening to the show tomorrow, during Glenn's segment,
we'll be doing Christmas trivia for twenty five dollars gift
cards to publics. Glenn loves doing this. He starts asking

(02:34:12):
me around October if he can. And I'm kind of
not joking, you're not, Yeah, I can kind of. I
got receipts on that a little bit. But he loves
doing it. He loves helping people out. That's literally one
of his biggest goals. He could have retired years ago.
He could have retired years ago. He stays in the
business because he likes helping people and he hates people
being taken advantage of. So Glenn will be this tomorrow

(02:34:34):
and we'll do the show then, plus your calls, text
and talkbacks, all the fun stuff as well.

Speaker 3 (02:34:37):
I mean, he even grows out his beer to help
portray the character of Santa Claus.

Speaker 9 (02:34:42):
Noa.

Speaker 2 (02:34:42):
Yeah, one of the great guys that I've met in
this business in all my years. Truly, one of the
great guys. You know, I have to tell you know,
we we have a pretty good we have a pretty
good quiver of attorneys that advertise here at Real Radio.
They're all good people. So we're very fortunate in that fact.

Speaker 9 (02:34:57):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2 (02:34:57):
All right, let's do some news deb good.

Speaker 9 (02:35:00):
Time for you heard it here first on the Jim
Colbert Show.

Speaker 5 (02:35:05):
President Trump is giving a preview of his address to
the nation tonight. Trump was asked by reporters today what
he's going to discuss.

Speaker 2 (02:35:13):
We inherited a bench.

Speaker 24 (02:35:14):
Now we've done a great job, and we continue to
and our country is going to be stronger than ever before.

Speaker 13 (02:35:20):
Very soon.

Speaker 5 (02:35:21):
Yeah, the President will speak from the White House at
nine pm Eastern.

Speaker 2 (02:35:24):
I heard a rumor online that tonight he is going
to announce that we're going to invade Venezuela. I do
not know if that's true, but they came from a
source that is close to Washington. So we'll see that that.
You know his I guess it's at nine o'clock tonight,
and part of the address may be the announcement of
some ground action in Venezuela.

Speaker 5 (02:35:43):
Merry Christmas Spirit Airlines will operate normally this season. The
South Florida based company has secured one hundred million dollars
in emergency funding after filing for bankruptcy in August. The
money will support day to day operations through the holidays.
Might want to find an airlines just just as a thought?
All right, tonight's powerball jackpot Jack smart man bought your

(02:36:05):
ticket today?

Speaker 4 (02:36:06):
Right?

Speaker 5 (02:36:06):
I did that? B Jay's brand new one there stands
at one point two five billion dollars. Taking the cash
option on that would work out to just over five
hundred and seventy two million dollars, just in time for
the holidays. Yeah, the odds of winning the grand prize
still remain roughly one in two hundred and ninety two million, guys.

Speaker 2 (02:36:25):
I got to tell you, when it gets to this height,
you really have to start considering the annuity. I mean
you have to. You really have to start considering the
yearly payout at this level. I mean you think about
how much money to be able to get the entire
one point twenty five billion or the most of the
minus taxes. Think about the the hit you're taking by
by doing that. I mean you're only fifty eight years old.
I mean seventy eight is nothing. I mean you'd be

(02:36:46):
getting what how much money would that be a month?

Speaker 5 (02:36:49):
I would be tae hundred and seventy two million dollars,
would you know?

Speaker 2 (02:36:54):
I've got to tell you, I could make a case
for both sides. I could see you having that big
chunk of money to do big stupid stuff with. But
I mean, if I mean, if you can't live on
thirty or forty or fifty million dollars. Don't remember don't
you remember the publisher's clearing house winner who took the
annuity or the only option They go out of business
and he's out a lot either way.
