Slide over to real Radio dot FM and send that
away for your chance at one thousand dollars. Got a
little sidetrack because I looked up and I saw another
video that plane crash yesterday.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Yeah, I've I've been seeing the one of the shruck
driver who inadvertently caught the plane crash on his dash cam.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
I know we're talking, I know we're talking about that
during news, but it was just kind of weird. I'm
doing that because we have a television in the studio
and I'm doing the thing I usually done to my
sheet and out of my peripheral I caught a giant
flame ball and I looked up and saw cod dog.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Another video that plane crash yesterday, so crazy, so many
different angles. Yeah, man, insane. How you got doing today? Good? Hey?

Speaker 4 (02:01):
Speaking of that thousand dollars thing? Man, Yeah, yeah, we
had a winter last night and six to lot did Yeah.
The station had three winners Soto yesterday. Yep, that's crazy. Yep, noon,
six pm and nine pm.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
I love that.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
Don't sleep on those later key words.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
I love it. I three winners in a day, that's
pretty good. That's awesome. Two for us and our three
for us yesterday, so that's awesome. Yeah, that's real good. Yes, absolutely, yeah,
three for us.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
Okay, I thought you meant the Jim Culbert show. I'm like, well,
we can let the news junkie have the neon one.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Well, Jack ways, I have to switch between where Like
Jack thinks about the radio station at Hole, I think
about the show because he's the PD. So when every
show does well, the station does well.

Speaker 5 (02:39):
I think about listeners of real radio winning one thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
That's exactly what I think.

Speaker 5 (02:43):
Also, and the one thing I've gleaned from a lot
of the audio because they record the audio when they
tell the winner, when they contact the winner, and I
get to listen to that, and most of the winners
listen to all the shows.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, I would agree with.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
That because they're smart, but probably us a little bit more.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Just did that Projack's facial expression?

Speaker 6 (03:07):
There?

Speaker 1 (03:08):
You know, I've got a question for you.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
We get a lot of stuff to talk about today.
I mean, obviously there's a big happenings yesterday. Just quick,
nobody nothing, kind of a little little piece of trivia.
Today is the day that Marty McFly went back to
in nineteen fifty five in the movie.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Back to the Future.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Really, so when they got here, when they get I
don't I've never talked about this. I've never said this
because I know it popped up.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
In my little thing today.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
I was like, I So when he goes into the
car and he says the thing, it's like, today is
that day?

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Oh wow, I do not remember every we've talked about.

Speaker 5 (03:39):
Fifth well now every year they were like, this is
the day that Martin traveled to when he went to
the future. That was the day Martin McFly went.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Back to And it's wild because yesterday we had that
we had the story about the the hoverboard right going
into that memorabilia auction. So I just it was just
kind of wild that today and also to back to
the future stories in a row. Peepy, she just shut
it down and go home for the day.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
And then I want to okay, wait, let me log out.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Okay, I want to ask you guys something.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
All right, so we all have spouses or significant others.
Deb you are engaged. Jack and I have been married
for a while, so that means that we have become
accustomed to each other's, each other's the eccentricities of our partners,
right right? Does yours have one? Does your partner have

(04:26):
an eccentricity that makes your little nuts? And it doesn't
have to be anything salacious or anything like that. It's
just a little habit that they do that they brought
on from their childhood and it drives you a little nuts.

Speaker 5 (04:36):
I don't know, Jim, tell us what may I'll give
you an example.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
You kick it off, I'll give you an example.

Speaker 7 (04:42):
Right.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
You'll see how absolutely benign this is. When I tell you,
and I remember this from my childhood. I think it's
a thing from the South. I don't think people in
the north do this. I don't really think about out west,
but I just know in the South this is the thing.
Do you have cast iron dishes? No, you don't have
a cast iron pan? Jack, you have a cast iron pan?

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Nope, you do not. My mom does? Your mom does?

Speaker 8 (05:04):
Right?

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Where does she keep that?

Speaker 4 (05:06):
I am not sure.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
When I asked you, Evan, when I asked you that question,
I bet money about about a thousand people. When I
know where that bitch is, I know where it is.
For some reason, my wife keeps our cast iron stuff
in the oven, so not stored in the cabinets, which
we have scads of. So many cat we can live
in the cabinets, right, so many cabinets. But for some reason,

(05:32):
our cast iron frying pant stays in the oven.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
You know what that means?

Speaker 9 (05:36):
Right?

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Every time I preheat the oven to do anything, I
can forget about it. I've got a cast iron glowing
bomb to pull out and put somewhere in my kitchen
that you can eat a village.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
This thing is glowing red, as you probably can imagine.
I believe this is on you, what is it on me?
Because I mean, we use our oven. That's where our
cookie sheets go, because oh.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
It's not you have a place where your cookie she's
to go.

Speaker 5 (06:01):
Tell me where in my kitchen. I have a place
for her.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
Work underneath your the kitchen the oven drawer.

Speaker 5 (06:06):
Nah, that it doesn't go high enough, and I've already
got cookie racks in there.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
That's the warming drawer.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
You know that, right, Yeah, that's what that is. It's
the warming drawer or the proofing drawer, and you keep
your cookie shees. Do you know I have enough cabinet
space for your cookie sheets?

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (06:20):
Not.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
Hell, if you lived in New York City, you'd use
it for a hamper.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
I mean you never use your oven when you live
in an apartment in New York City.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
That's that's quality storage right there.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
I think that's purely a Southern thing. I do not
think people that came here, maybe migrated here from the North,
dealt with that. But I think a lot of people
that grew up here, their parents are grandparents, for some reason,
kept their cast iron.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Skillets in the oven.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
And as I remember this, when my grandmother used to
fry bacon and her cast iron skillet, she would leave
the bacon drippings in the pan and just put that
in the oven like it would just stay there in
the oven, seasoning well and then ripping so that when
she pulls it back out, puts it on top of
you have oil ready to go to fry whatever you
gonna fry.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
Then why didn't you just help her out by taking
an old brillowpad to it?

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Jimmy, I'm sure that's great.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
Bull that seasoning off and watch her lose her mind,
you dud.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Don't put it in the dishwasher. Don't even talk that
into power me mo, put it in the dishwasher, even
talk that the power. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Man, every single time I forget it, And every time
I look over, like I'll heat the oven up or whatever,
and I'll look over and that thing is just staring
at me. He's going, oh, I'm so hot, come and
grab me.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Wait for you big day. And it's just smoking the
whole time, just smoking hot. Hey, kind of like your wife.
Stop it. See how that worked out? Seven to seven
zero three one. If you have any situations like.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
Keeping you to ask us this question once again.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Do you not have anything like that? Your I mean, look,
here's the thing.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Here, here, here's mine. Okay, If there are are. If
there are three drops of coffee cream left in the
container back in the fridge, If there is one square
of toilet paper left.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
On the roll, he will not pull it up there.
But the way, no, what are you gonna do with
that square?

Speaker 4 (08:07):
Well, yeah, you use it to grab the handle above
you and grab another roll of toilet paper. If there
are ten kernels of litter left in the litter box,
the ye, he'll put it back.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Really yeah yeah, But with everything else he does.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
You just move on.

Speaker 9 (08:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Yeah, that's the thing is I mean, we all none
of these things are bad. We all learn, That's what
I'm saying. These are eccentricities that you've just kind of
looked beyond with.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Your partner, and you laugh about it. Like if you look.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
At my house, I'll tell you another secret that my
wife will probably would get super mad about this.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Notice how Jack go ahead.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Because I I do half stuff all the time. My
wife will like, I'll go through the kitchen and just
like you know, do something in the kitchen.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
My waif will stop me. Should go turnround loop.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Three cabinet drawers open, one drawer open a cabinet like open.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
I mean, it's just it's.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
Like the devil came through and you're complaining about it.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
And I did not say this is a complaint.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
This has been nine minutes of compiling.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
I simply said, do any of your partners have these
eccentricities that are unique?

Speaker 1 (09:10):
I didn't say that bad. I didn't say any of that.

Speaker 5 (09:15):
Here's something I hate about my wife.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Go for it, Jack, that's always met all right? Her
son's bed is always pretty, is it? She takes all
her clothes off, right, All you women do the same thing, Like,

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Okay, it's time for JCS news.

Speaker 10 (12:32):
Last Wow, this kind kind of Chris name on everything.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
It's ni contract.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Here's the news on the Jim Colber Show.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
The favorite part, here's the flavorite part.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
JCS News is brought to you by that mortgage guy Don.
At least nine people are dead after a ups jet
crashed at Louisville Muhammad Ali Airport. Mayor Craig Greenberg says
that number will likely go up.

Speaker 12 (12:56):
I would expect that the amount of fatalities may rise
throughout the day. I was simply there to provide support
to all those grieving families that are searching for answers,
to let them know a we of first responders, the coroners,
and others that are on the scene working to get
them as much information as soon as possible now.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
The crash on Tuesday sent a massive fireball into the
air and eleven people to the hospital. The jet had
three crew members on board and some thirty eight thousand
gallons of fuel because it was on its way to
Honolulu Wow when it exploded, resulting in damage to a
number of nearby buildings. Meanwhile, Okalona Fire Chief Mark Little
says up to forty firefighters remain on the scene dousing hotspots,

(13:39):
and about forty search and rescue workers are looking through
the debris for any additional victims. The chief says they're
planning to be on site for at least a week
because they don't know how many victims they're looking for.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
I heard that this morning. That was terrifying.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
It is the airport reopened on Wednesday morning, and of course,
crashing so soon after attempting to take off hit a
pro pane facility, hit an autoparts store, several vehicles on
the ground, so there was only three people on the plane,
and yet we have these multitude of injuries and deaths,
so that all came from on the ground.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
I gotta tell you, I had a weird moment with
this because when I looked at the video, initially it
looked like it went through like a trailer park, right
because of that, but I guess it was it's a
These are production facilities.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
This is like an industrial area, yeah, south of the airport,
and those are just storage bins or whatever. And I
literally gasped.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
I was like, could you imagine, oh, you know, dragging
a flaming seven forty seven through a trailer park into
a neighborhood. You know, That's when I panic because I
was like, oh my god. Yeah, they really have no
idea how many people.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
And that's when Louisville mayors said it could have been
far worse if it hadn't been in this industrial part
of town. But still they're still looking for more victims.
All right, Changes are coming to Orlando politics. Elections were
held yesterday. I don't know if you heard for three
city council seats and District one, Tom Keane beat income

(15:00):
Jim Gray with fifty four percent of the vote. In
District three, a runoff will be needed between Roger Chapin
and Mira Tana. They were the top two candidates in
a five percon field, but neither got a majority there.
The runoff will be held on December ninth, and then
in District five, interim Commissioner Shan Rose beat former commissioner
Regina Hill with almost fifty two percent of the vote

(15:23):
versus Regina Hill's thirty three percent respectively. Regina Hill, as
last I heard, had not conceded the vote. Shan Rose
gave the professional version of bless your heart with I
wish her.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
The best Bravo.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
All votes will be certified on Friday.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
All right.

Speaker 4 (15:40):
A Polk County woman is making history. City Commissioner Sarah
Roberts McCarley was elected mayor of Lakeland yesterday. She's the
first woman to ever win the mayor's race. McCarley beat
three others with over fifty percent of the vote to
avoid a runoff. Of course, one of those was the
young manager of a Hooters restaurant about twenty four years old.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
Getting into the political scene. How she do. By the way,
I do not know her number. Gotcha?

Speaker 4 (16:03):
A voter turnout was less than twenty percent.

Speaker 13 (16:05):
Low.

Speaker 4 (16:06):
She says, she's grateful to the citizens and she's humbled
to continue to serve the community she calls home. What's
interesting is that Lakeland has had three other women serve
as mayor, but none of them were elected as mayor.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Oh wow, really, there you go? All right.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
Florida is considered one of the worst states in the
nation to find a job. Wallet hub ranks it, what
number do you think overall?

Speaker 5 (16:33):
Forty seven?

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Wow, that's such a good guess. That's exactly what I'll go.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
Forty five point to Jimmy thirty first, right, why do
you say for one of the worst.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yeah, that's in the middle of the middle, lower than middle.

Speaker 7 (16:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (16:47):
Right.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
To determine the most attractive states for employment, wallet hub
compared states across thirty four key indicators of job market
strength economic health. While Florida ranked thirteenth for economic environment,
it placed forty fifth for its job market. Massachusetts is
considered the best state to find a job, and Jimmy,
you know it, west by God, Virginia is dead last.

(17:10):
All right, we kind of hinted at this yesterday, But
in case you haven't heard, many Florida residents are considering
moving out of state due to the high cost of
living here. That's according to a recent poll by Florida
Atlantic University's Business of Economic Polling Initiative, fifty three percent
said they would consider leaving Florida. BPI surveyed one thousand

(17:30):
residents to gauge their outlook on life, the economy, their
standard of living, the ability to get and hang on
to the American dream. Despite their concerns, most Floridians say
they still believe in the American dream and believe you
can get it right here in the state of Florida.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yep, all right.

Speaker 4 (17:44):
The Vlusia County Sheriff's office is holding a food drive
for SNAP recipients this weekend. Sheriff Mike Chitwood tells Fox
thirty five the federal government is failing at its job
and the community has to step up.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
Every human being needs to survive, water, food, warmth, and shelter.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Right mas loss theory of relativity.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
So Chipwood says, SNAPS work requirements for adults under sixty
ensure that recipients are deserving of help. The Sheriff's Office
and local Jewish Federation are teaming up to accept donations
Saturday at Dayton International Speedway from nine am to five pm.
Then they're going to hand out donations on Sunday starting
at eleven am to those with a Snap card and

(18:24):
an ID. Have you guys seen how with local food
banks and food pantries, you know, popping up everywhere? How
long the lines food distribution sites expected to begin at
nine am, but so many cars lined up that they
most places have started an hour to an hour and
a half earlier handing stuff out.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
We'll be talking about today with Scott. Oh.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
Yeah, excellent.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Well.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
In the meantime, many around central Florida are stepping up
to help those going without Snap benefits. Those benefits are
suspended as the federal government shutdown continues into its second
historic month. Second Harvest Food Bank says demand has gone
up how much percent in recent weeks? You know what, Jack,
you go first?

Speaker 1 (19:04):
He went first last time. Yeah, that's why I'm taking
a deep breath here.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
I'm trying to be to I'm trying to forner him
sixty one percent, I'll say one hundred.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
And two points, Jack, three hundred percent three hundred percent
in recent weeks.

Speaker 5 (19:17):
Man, I'd like to take back my guests. I want
to say one hundred and four right now.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
Some businesses, though, are doing their part to help neighbors
and needs. So in Lake County, you Matilla's, the Mason Jar,
Oh Yeah, is serving free meals to kids. Over in
Polk County, Mary's Bagel Cafe in Lakeland is serving free
meals Tuesdays and Fridays to.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Any family with students. Wow.

Speaker 4 (19:43):
In Orlando, Ferrara's Pizza and Pasta is giving kids free
slices on weekends, and owner Hector Nievez tells Channel nine
it's about giving back to the community because without them,
he wouldn't be there today.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
Isn't that cool to see you?

Speaker 1 (19:58):
That's super cool?

Speaker 4 (19:58):
Yeah, I do love to see that, all right. And
then there's this story. A high school football coach over
in Citrus County remains suspended for taking in a homeless student.
Lecanto Highs. R. J. Pollard housed senior Raheem Rushing, who
was facing family hardship and had nowhere else to go.

(20:18):
So the Florida High School Athletic Association ruled the act
and impermissible benefit, suspending Pollard and initially stripping the team
of its wins. Get yes, sir, But as ten Tampa
Bay reports, Rushing now has been reinstated, while Pollard remains
sidelined and plans to appeal.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Wow, man, what a message to send, you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
What a message to send. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (20:46):
For all those people out there who that story frosted
their flakes like it did for me, reach out to
the Florida High School Athletic Association and say, read the room. Dude,
you want a high school student out on the streets,
that's your option instead of a coach. Aren't movies made
about stuff like that?

Speaker 3 (21:03):
Well, I mean, you know, here's the thing. You can
reprimand the guy and say, hey, look we have transition.
Uh we have transitioned you know benefits or uh well
then prove it or you know, facilities for these guys.
But you can't, I mean, I can't imagine for doing
something so humane that you could be as penalize that the.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Coaches at school have there be stripped of their wins.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
It's weird to open up the phones for people who
had their lives change because of a coach's generosity. My god, almighty,
we take calls for the next three months starting with
like four from me.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
That's why that's the story when I put that in,
and I'm gonna have another story from the Gulf Coast
that's going to make you go, wait a minute, the
coach got Coaches.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
Can be mother and father figures, like over and over
for people who do not have a wrong and they
don't even ask for that, but yet they come through.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Often is that.

Speaker 5 (21:48):
When you hear like a board made this decision, don't
something like this, don't you want to know I want
to know who they are exactly.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
I want to know a lot about them.

Speaker 5 (21:55):
We should be able to have direct contact with the Yeah,
we really.

Speaker 4 (21:59):
Should, absolutely absolutely, But yeah, I couldn't believe it when
I saw that story, of all the things to punish
someone for. And then we go to our next couple
of stories. An Orange County woman won't face charges after
kids got drunk at her house. Prosecutors announced yesterday they're
not going to file any charges against Winter Parks. How

(22:21):
Tram the doctor was arrested last month's she was in
a room.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
Yeah, we're in the perfect market. Nobody gets like this
is perfect. A winter park doctor has a party for
kids at her house. Her defense is, oh, was in
my room. I don't know what was going.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
On while teenagers got slap hammered.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
They were bringing backpacks full of neutrals into that party.

Speaker 10 (22:46):
No clue.

Speaker 5 (22:47):
Do not underestimate the power of noise canceling headphones.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah, I guess they really do work.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
Reference the story before of the coach being suspended for
housing a homeless student. But anyway, The doctor was arrested
last month after underage teenagers were drinking at a party
she hosted at her home on Chestnut Avenue.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
The Orlando Sentinel.

Speaker 4 (23:09):
Reports Prosecutors say they just don't have enough evidence to
secure a conviction.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
No details other than that were released.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
The estranged wife of suspended Osciola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez
will go on trial next week Lopez.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
A judge yesterday ordered.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
Robin Severance's Lopez trial to start Monday. It's expected to
last about two weeks. The judge also denied bond for
Severance Lopez. The couple is accused of running an illegal
gambling ring while Lopez was sheriff. He's due back in
court next month, And I don't know if they can,
but it would be interesting to find out if prosecutors
get to mention the fact of why she had her

(23:44):
bond revoked again, lying and saying she couldn't afford the
ten dollars a week for the ankle monitor while they
watch her on video at several credit unions depositing tens
of thousands of dollars. Yeah, okay, smart choice there.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
Robin Funny is like, there are people who look like
criminals when you see her pictulary, especially when she was
re arrested, that photograph about oh yeah they have of
her in her doorway. I'm like, she doesn't look menacing,
she doesn't look like the kind of person who would
do some like then you hear the story, I'm like,
oh this bitch, Oh she's one.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Of them, all right.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
Buckle in for the next couple of stories. A Leon
County woman this up in Tallahassee, the seat of state government,
is suing the state over a law meant to help
pregnant women. Olivia Keller sued last week to overturn a
law that allows pregnant women to get handicapped parking permits. Okay,
she claims the law violates the Americans with Disabilities Act

(24:40):
by allowing pregnant women to use the few available spots
reserved for the handicapped. According to the lawsuit, fewer parking
spaces means Keller's ability to work, medical care, social and
community activities is severely limited because some pregnant women took
her spot. Keller tells me West Palm Beaches CBS twelve,

(25:02):
she empathizes with pregnant women. Oh, it sounds like it,
but the law is putting convenience above need.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Wow, that's crazy, you know that At first, like that's
not a bad idea.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
You know.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
The thing is, I've never seen all handicap spots ever
taken in once.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
I've never seen that either.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
I've never walked by handicap spots, and like a lot
of handicap people are.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Like, I've never ever done that. I'm like, God, damn,
they're going, this is the name, let's get out.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
But but you know, and then some companies offer like
pregnancy spots, like I believe a number like Target, uh,
and those guys have spots up front and it's like
it has a little sign there just for our people
are expecting, you know.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
But the other thing I really like, especially at Low's
where they have veterans parking. Yeah yeah, sure, yeah, and
it's like right up front and prominent in a good
sweet spot up there.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
Okay, And then we have this next story. Some people
just need too much chlorine in their gene pool. A
woman is accused of lying to police about an incident
at her home in Saint Petersburg.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Okay, I'm listening.

Speaker 4 (26:05):
Thirty two year old Brooke Chenault reported last month that
a man broke into her home and sexually assaulted her.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Oh man, extremely serious charges, right, yeah, for sure. A
lot of police.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
Resources that would be, don't you know, dedicated to finding
the purp in this case? Yea, yeah, Well Saint Petersburg police, though,
say there was no break in.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (26:25):
Her boyfriend called and said, hey, she's not telling you everything.
The photo she gave them of the suspect was a
fake she generated using artificial intelligence. They found the photo
and like her deleted files on her phones. A police
official tells ten Tampa Bay. Apparently this is part of
a TikTok trend to call and say that someone has

(26:48):
broken into your home and sexually assaulted you. Wow, And
now she is facing some very real life charges.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Oh yeah, yeah, good, Yes, absolutely, and not to mention.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
She should have to hey, the fee or the bill
for whatever it cost to send the cops out there
do the investigation.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
All of that stuff should be paid.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
Back because the first time she called police, she talked
about the break in. Then her boyfriend called and said,
she didn't tell you everything. So they came back out
with two detectives when they found out there was a
sexual assault. So they made two separate trips to this
person's home in one day. That means someone else who
needed the police didn't maybe get as much of a
chance because this person was wasting their time in their resources.

Speaker 5 (27:28):
Someone needs a weekend at least on Knucklehead Island.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
There you go, Jack, Yeah, there you go. One way ticket.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
Does this Knucklehead Island of yours offer waterboarding? Oh?

Speaker 5 (27:38):
It's got a variety of different activities.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
I'm falling in love with this island. Oh yeah, I
really did. Can I invest in this island?

Speaker 5 (27:45):
Absolutely? It's almost like escape from New York. If you're
read New York just became a penal colin.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Don't say penal.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
A lottery ticket purchased in Manatee County, also over on
the Gulf Coast is turning unlucky winner into a multimillionaire.
It's no Mega millions, but the winning ticket from the
October twenty fifth Florida Lotto drawing was worth six point
two five million dollars.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Not even worth going to get tickets for the winner.

Speaker 4 (28:12):
Robin Glover purchased the ticket from the Publix on East
Bay Drive in Holmes Beach. The forty one year old
chose to receive her winnings as a one time lump
sum payment of more than threety one dollars of three
and a half million dollars. Look for her to be
drunk at a beach bar near you soon.

Speaker 7 (28:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
And the reason she won those because I think she's
the only person still playing that game. Like nobody plays
the OG lottery anymore. It's always like Mega millions are
powerball now, oh wow. The OG Lottery never really gets
up there because it doesn't have like the multipliers or
the other It's like, I think it's solely just Florida,
where the other games are pulled from multiple states.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
I'm okay with three and a half million.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
I think the Mega Mega millions is like almost eight
hundred million the night. Oh nice, you'd be fine with
three million? Oh?

Speaker 4 (28:56):
Absolutely, I'm joking, are you?

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah? Yeah, you gotta keep working. Yeah, look, no doubt.

Speaker 4 (29:04):
A million is like a drop in the bus.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
You would have to work with three million. I'll tell you.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
I know a guy you just fine with three You
hate him three million. You go do what you want,
You'll be fine.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Awesome. Now, I just got to find the three million.
Go get the three million. I'll take everything else, all right.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
A blast of arctic air is going to hit Florida
early next week. Temperatures are expected to fall into the
forties in Orlandos starting Monday night. Heisilby in the sixties.
Forecasters say everywhere from the Dakotas to Florida, we'll feel
temperature's plummet what we lovingly referred to as a Saskatchewan screamer. Yeah,
that's what we call the blizzards from Saskatchewan. In the meantime,

(29:39):
the western half of the country can expect above average
temps next week. Yeah, so if you're going to any
Veterans Day observances next Tuesday, you're definitely gonna want to
wear a jacket. We don't normally see temps this cold
until like the middle of January, so it's really cold
really soon.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yah, wife said up in Nashville. The next week, you're
thinking that.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Oh yeah, we looked at that did Day last week
and she's like, damn, so she hates the gold.

Speaker 5 (30:04):
Tuesday, on Veterans Day, City Mount Dora has a salute
to service and it's their Veterans Day event. It's at
Gilbert Park from starting at eleven am with guest speakers,
one of them being our very own Alejandro, who joins
us on the show every once in a while, and
from our sister station Rumba live music, complimentary food and beverages.

(30:26):
But it's a salute to service in Mount Dora. If
you want any details on that, go to cityofmunt Dora
dot com.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
And if you've never heard Alejandro's story, it's worth pulling
him aside and asking because again, he served our country
after arriving on a boat from Cuba.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
It's also nice just close your ears and eyes and
listen to the docent.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
Tone yes, yeah it is, yeah, yeah, anything for my
Kia and you swear your understanding.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
And by the way, if you're listening to him talking,
it moves. You're not gay, You're just a guy who
really appreciates it. Dud with a great voice and a
good story that I gonna leave the sponsors off of
that mention.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
Now, yeah good, I'm gonna go ahead and finish this.
As winter weather rapidly approaches, the North Dakota Department of
Transportation is starting up its annual Name a Plow contest.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
Name a Plow? Oh yeah, last year.

Speaker 4 (31:16):

ideas for a snow plow in their home district through
November twenty first. Winners will be show chosen shortly thereafter.
Winning names for plows around the state the past few
years include snow Force one, sled Zeppelin.

Speaker 3 (31:35):

one four point one. If you'd also like to send
a talk back, it's easy. Grab the iHeartRadio app, go
to Real Radio and use that mike to send your
comment over to Jack. We love to put you on
the air. We'd love to hear what you got to say.
I'm Jim's deb Hello, Jack's ear as well. You get
one today.

Speaker 5 (33:36):
Make it good.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
That's right, all right, guys. So Florida lawmaker, we talked
about this yesterday a little bit. Actually we've talked about
this a number of times, and it looks like finally
a lawmaker has stepped up to maybe do something about it.
Florida lawmaker is introduced a bill that would enact new
safety measures for people riding electric bicycle. Yeah, that's right,

(33:58):
including the riders of bikes reaching high speed. They call
the bikes that can get up to almost thirty miles
an hour the class three electric bikes, and they go
to twenty eight miles an hour. That's I guess that's
what they're regulated at. And what this person wants is
if you don't have a driver's license, whether it be
a learner's permit or a regular driver's license, you cannot
operate a Class three E bike.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Good.

Speaker 4 (34:19):
I have never understood why they were allowed to. I mean,
I have to get up to third gear. If I'm
at thirty five miles an hour, I'm in third gear.

Speaker 5 (34:26):
Yea, yeah, yeah, it's because it's a new technology. That's
you know, so the laws seem to always be behind technology.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Yea.

Speaker 5 (34:35):
E bikes have just you know, I mean, not necessarily new,
but new enough in the terms of having laws regulating them.
I mean, when I was fifteen, I had a mopad
that hit twenty nine miles an hour, and if I
you know, kept my head down as much as possible,
I might hit thirty. Right, Yeah, but you needed a license,

(34:57):
and it's not much different. It's you know, a moped,
you peddal, but then you have a.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Gas you know, they'll gas, it'll change the gas engine.

Speaker 5 (35:05):
Yeah, and you know, so now it's an electric engine,
but you're still going that speed and the dangers are
the same.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
And I think you're right.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
I think the technology has kind of you know really,
I say, yeah, it just happens so exponentially fast that
I don't know if the laws can keep up with it.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
Because Jack's right.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
I mean, back in the day, these things, these little
scooters would go maybe a mile and a half or
two or three miles or something that's depending on how
how much you weigh. And even then it would only
go you know, eight or ten miles an hour, which
is more of a novelty than anything.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
Now these bikes, like these full.

Speaker 3 (35:35):
Sized bikes and these giant battery packs, and they can
go like, you know, fifteen miles and go twenty eight
miles an hour. Yeah, says here under house built two
four three filed by Yvette Bernerock, who is a Republican,
and Marco Island. Teams who have yet to obtain a
learner's drivers permit or do not hold any other valid
driver's license would be prohibited from operating the Class three

(35:56):
bike any bike that goes up to twenty eight miles
per hour.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Which makes sense. Yeah, and the you.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
Know, the fines are kind of weird. When we hear
stuff like this, you get real excited about it. You're like, oh, yeah,
that's great. They're they're finally dropping the bomb on these people.
Who are you know, running these sands down sidewalks and
running people over like that one guy we heard, right,
remember the one kid it was his dad got hit
by one and.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
Put a gash in his head. Oh that's right.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
Yeah, yeah, So that you know, that's the problem, right,
because people just aren't responsible enough at thirteen, fourteen years old,
you know, something going thirty miles an hour on a bike.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
They don't care.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
He's rolling down the sidewalk, having a good time, not
really paying attention.

Speaker 4 (36:30):
Well, you recently had a case of a seventy one
year old man killed on his e bike over on
the Space Coast, and it.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
Says here, the first time offenders would be find one
hundred dollars. A second violation within three years of the
first defense would be a two hundred and fifty dollars fine.
And then again, I think once you start getting in
to the multiples, they start going to considering whether or
not you're gonna have a driver's license at all. I mean,
those the last thing you'd want is your e bike.
Shenanigan's keeping you out of your car, right, So hopefully

(36:56):
that will work. But a lot of times these fines
just aren't enough to be penal and enough to keep
people here, to really keep people in the mind that,
oh wollw I gotta be cool here, you know, I
don't want to lose one hundred dollars. It's kind of
like this a night at the outback.

Speaker 4 (37:07):
It's kind of like a the super speeder law. Right, Yes,
you know, you impound their car and put them in
jail and.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
Six points on your license exactly. You're halfway there before
they even before you even try that.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Yeah. Man.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
It says freedom comes with responsibility. It says when public
safety is at risk, we have a duty to act.
She said she's guided by the Constitution and common sense.
I have to tell you, you know, common sense is enough there.
You know, supply these days the Constitution has to do
with it. But I think it's just you being common sense, Like, hey,
you know, maybe we shouldn't have thirteen year olds writing metal
rockets down sidewalks. Maybe maybe that's a good And by

(37:43):
the way, I think you have to have a helmet.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
When you ride one of these things.

Speaker 4 (37:46):
I do not believe so, no way. I don't see
a lot of people riding them in my neighborhood with
the helmet.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
But I think you had Like when we went to Austin,
tex or San Antonio at Austin and we rented the segues,
which is, by the way, if you ever get if
you ever get a chance to rent a segway and
do like a city tour on a segway, do it.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
They are a blast.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
I've always wanted to dude. They are so much fun. Yeah,
and it takes no time at all to figure it out.
Like I thought I was gonna have a problem, But
within just a few minutes you're you're doing pretty easy.
I mean you're going all over the over curbs, going downhills.
It's pretty pretty easy. But we had to wear helmets
on those things, for sure. They didn't go even close
to this past.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
Yeah, but you were renting them.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
Yeah yeah, But but with a bicycle you have to
wear a helmet?

Speaker 7 (38:27):
Do you not?

Speaker 1 (38:27):
In the city?

Speaker 4 (38:28):
I think if you're a kid under eighteen you do.

Speaker 16 (38:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
Yeah, Well this is basically who this is affecting, So
I can't imagine there's not a helmet law for those.
So a couple of dudes rolling in one one wheeler's Halloween.

Speaker 4 (38:39):
Night, Oh yeah, we've got you've got a one wheeler.
He wears his helmet and a backpack. We did have
the guy who rode like the ottoman or it looks
like a filing cabinet. Haven't seen him in a round
in a while.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Well, you know the one wheel cooler, Yeah it did.

Speaker 4 (38:55):
It looked like a cooler one you know, with a
with an engine in it.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The one wheelers are a blast. That's
a totally different machine to ride there. Yeah, there's so
much fun though, they really are. But you could die
in a hurry on that. You really could just die
as fast as you can imagine oak trip head curb.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
Bye.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
That's why I'm happy to see this cat wear a helmet?

Speaker 3 (39:12):

each and every week by personal injury attorney Glenn Klausman
over at Klosman Law. We'll tell you how you can
get in touch with Glenn at the end of Animal House.
But now please join me in welcoming back. Senior Ambassador
Animal Keeper Christina O'Donnell and team lead zoo teacher Josh
Brandlin is such.

Speaker 1 (40:59):
That's a lot. That's a big that is a big breath.
Thank you very much.

Speaker 4 (41:01):
How you guys doing great? How have you been goohead,
fat and sassy? You have not been here since last December?

Speaker 16 (41:07):
Right, yeah, it's been a minute, but lots has been
going on at the zoo, so we are excited to
talk about.

Speaker 4 (41:13):
I know, I love the enthusiasm.

Speaker 5 (41:17):
Because Reptor is just so chill.

Speaker 4 (41:19):
I mean we had to bounce it out, you know,
it is so this is reptile. What is REPTI again?

Speaker 16 (41:23):
So reptar here. He is a blue tongued skink id.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
Some of those me too, So.

Speaker 16 (41:29):
You're not going to show it off. But he has
this nice bright blue tongue on him really, and he
is going to show it off if he gets scared
or anything to kind of scare off predators.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
Uh huh.

Speaker 16 (41:39):
So imagine like you're like in a dark forest or
something and all of a sudden, flashlights like shined on you.
And that's what it feels like for these animals because
his tongue reflects uv light. So many animal that can
see in that, it's like a really bright light that
flashes in their eyes.

Speaker 3 (41:54):
Oh that's not good though, right for predator. I mean
he's obviously predated on right.

Speaker 16 (41:58):
Oh yeah, absolutely. So that's he's got some really nice
camouflage on him. So he's gonna be kind of going
through the leaves and stuff. Yeah, and he'll even almost
like move like a snake really, because a lot of
predators they see a fat snake there and they're like, oh, shoot, no,
I don't want that.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
I don't want that.

Speaker 16 (42:13):
You know. It's just this little guy with these stubby
little legs moving around.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
Yeah, but his head does look very snakish there's no
question to get the pointed kind of snout there, and
his eyes are almost set snaky.

Speaker 4 (42:23):
That's a zoological term, right, snaky set snaky?

Speaker 1 (42:27):
Is Is it blue?

Speaker 4 (42:28):
Park because I've heard that blue, the color blue in
nature is generally considered a dangerous color.

Speaker 16 (42:35):
Oh absolutely, yeah, think of like poisoned dart frog exactly.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
He's like that.

Speaker 4 (42:39):
Yeah, so that's why he has the blue tongue versus
a green or red tongue.

Speaker 16 (42:43):
Yeah, that could be one of the reasons. Scientists actually
are not like quite positive as to why it might be.
So they're like still trying to figure out, Okay, is
it blue just because blue is danger Is it blue
for something else? Do they use it to communicate.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
Something they eat?

Speaker 3 (42:57):
I mean, because we know that other animals do get
tinted by something. Isn't that the reason the fleming is
or the color they are?

Speaker 17 (43:02):
Yeah, for sure, Yeah, goes definitely. And for dart frogs,
they are poisonous because of the things that they eat.
But for reptard it's not really not really known. But
there's not a lot of grant and funding for specific
niche scientific.

Speaker 16 (43:17):
Projects like that.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
Well, interestingly, you know, you bring in a lot of
reptiles and stuff, and you know, there are a lot
of different kind of lizard species or whatever. You know,
what separates a skink from the rest of other species?
What makes that, what gives it the name skink?

Speaker 16 (43:32):
Oh boy, So skinks, they are a type of lizard.
One of the things that really a lot of skinks
can do is what we call caudal atotomy, and that's
basically he can drop his tail. So if he gets
threatened or anything, he's just gonna drop that and run for.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
Oh really, Now does it grow back? It will grow back.

Speaker 16 (43:48):
It grows back a little bit differently a lot of times.
So when they first have it, it's bone, and then
when it grows back, it's going to grow back is
like cartilage, So think like your ears. Wow, So the
structure is a lot different than what it was originally.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
So it's a defense mechanism absolutely.

Speaker 16 (44:02):
And they don't want to do it a lot because
imagine regrowing yeah, yeah, yeah, something with my hair thing.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Yeah that's wild. I did it one time, and you
can stay and grown back. You can see it doesn't
listen genetically. I guess I'm screwed.

Speaker 4 (44:16):
I would imagine you guys have never had that kind
of response at the Central Florida Zoo, But I mean,
I would imagine that's got to be like an open
wound on them for a while until it grows back.

Speaker 17 (44:26):
Yeah, So I mean it's definitely something we definitely want
to avoid because that's more of a stress response, because
it would be something that's like, oh, it's my last resort,
I'm going to get rid of this taiale. But you
can tell you it's a very long tail. So we've
not had that issue here. Repti is very chill. He
knows that we're not predators, and so he's very used
to being handled. But it would definitely be something that
we would cause some concern. For sure, we'd have to

(44:47):
really evaluate like, well, how did that happen? Why, And
then we'd have some medical issues to deal with.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
Herbivore omnivore.

Speaker 16 (44:53):
He's an omnivore. He eats some pretty cool things though,
So his teeth are really stubby, so really short, and
he yeah, so he uses him to crush. So he's
gonna be going out there picking up snails, oh really,
and he's gonna be crushing those shells and kind of
slurping up the Wow, really.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
How old is reptile?

Speaker 16 (45:13):
He is nine years old, so he's about middle aged
for a blue tongue skink. So they lived to about
twenty in human care, so he's got quite a few years.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
When you say that name has a bit ambitious for
your animal there, what.

Speaker 16 (45:24):
Do you mean he's like terrified?

Speaker 1 (45:25):
You know, he's not a Pokemon character, reptar.

Speaker 16 (45:33):
Have you ever seen the rug rats?

Speaker 4 (45:35):
No, it's a rug rats? Okay, really, I thought I
was going to be cool on that.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
That's interesting. So you have some name after Pokemon, though,
you do? What is there? Where are they from?

Speaker 16 (45:45):
So they're from New Guinea, which is kind of by
Australia in Indonesia, an island out there, and they're gonna
be found on different islands throughout it. So there's a
few different kinds of blue tongued skinks. So the New
Guinea blue tongued skink, which reptile is, is endemic to
New Guinea right live birth? Yes, so fun story for

(46:06):
blue tongue skinks when they're ready for babies. So the
male is actually gonna basically chase the female around okay,
not another one, and he's gonna keep chasing her until
he finally catches up to her and grabs onto her neck.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
It's gonna be from and.

Speaker 16 (46:20):
They're gonna do their thing. And then about three months.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
Later, well so far, I'm getting a tattooed one of
these things in my chest.

Speaker 16 (46:28):
Three months later, she's gonna have about up to about
twenty five live coming out of her.

Speaker 4 (46:33):
Yeah, after being chased and grabbed by the next Yeah.
Yeah right, no dinner, no drinks, nothing.

Speaker 3 (46:40):
Wow, twenty five And I mean they're they're super tiny, right,
And do they automatically they're on their own? Like, they
don't they don't stick around like like other babies.

Speaker 4 (46:48):
Are they maternal at all?

Speaker 16 (46:49):
So after it's after about a few months that the
babies will kind of go off on their.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
Own really wow, which is not always.

Speaker 16 (46:55):
The case with reptiles. So you gotta think a lot
of snakes they're gonna.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
They just have them around their own. Yeah, yeah, luck.

Speaker 16 (47:01):
But yeah, so as far as we know, new Guinea
blue tongue skinks do take care of they're young for a
couple months.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
Oh yeah, that's cool, good luck.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
So interestingly, do the babies feed themselves or does the
mom go out and find food like a bird? You know,
like a bait, like a mom bird or parental birds.

Speaker 16 (47:19):
That is a good question. I've never actually seen a
mom one, so yeah, I.

Speaker 10 (47:22):
Don't know for sure.

Speaker 17 (47:24):
I imagine when they're smaller, they could get like small
answer sure, y, yeah, that are going to be nearby,
and I'm sure the mom will like lead them to
smaller things. But she's also preparing them for after those
couple of months to be on their own.

Speaker 4 (47:34):
So so you know, you got to kick them out eventually.
They can't just stick around. But we don't have a
lot of time left. But I definitely want to let
folks know about the preview of the Asian Lantern Festival.

Speaker 10 (47:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (47:47):
Absolutely.

Speaker 4 (47:47):
I got an email earlier this week saying that the
artisans arrived in October and have started setting up some
of the lanterns.

Speaker 17 (47:54):
They are all over the zoo right now. So as
we were leaving, actually we had to wait for traffic
because they were setting up the ends one, which is
pretty amazing. I don't know exactly what the entrance one's
going to be just yet because they were still in
the very beginning process of it, but they have been
putting them up all over the zoo and the Lantern
Fest starts November fourteenth and it goes through January eighteenth.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
And the theme this year.

Speaker 17 (48:13):
I don't know that we have like a very specific thing,
but there's themed area, so there's like underwater, there's a
holiday area. There's dragons and mystical things and unicorns I
saw which was amazing, a lot of animatronic ones, so
there's gonna be a lot of movement as well.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
I think it's cool. Tickets on sale, Lady, Yeah.

Speaker 17 (48:27):
So you can go online. They are about twenty seven
dollars and then there's tax. There's also a group package
where you can buy four of them and it's a
slightly lesser cost, but if you're going with the group,
then you know, see if that's available.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
And again, every time we come in and talk about
the Asian and Asian Lantern Festival, it's into four to zoo.
We say it's like one of the best places to
take your holiday photograph. So we know a lot of
families will go out there and they're like, you know,
they'll dress occasionally and they'll use that time to take
the photograph they're gonna put on their Christmas card for
the year, and this is the time to do it
right now in advance. You know, of course the first
couple of nights it's always the best. And of course

(48:58):
when you get that nice light is going on early,
so you know by the time at six o'clock it's
dead dark.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
You'll let there to enjoy yourself.

Speaker 4 (49:04):
And if you're looking for the most instagrammable photos that
you could possibly take. I was telling you before Parnimal
House started. Every corner you turn, you're like, there's my Nope,
got to go around the next corner, because it's just
the artistry hand painted, right, they're all hand painted so beautiful.
You think lantern, You think you know what you're going
to experience. And then you get to the Central Florida

(49:25):
Zoo and again, kudos to you guys, because you treat
that like the busiest theme park in Central Florida. The
parking is tight. It's a guided tour, so you don't
have to guess where you're gonna go.

Speaker 1 (49:37):
I did not know that.

Speaker 4 (49:37):
Actually I didn't neither till we went last year. And
then you find that you don't get you don't miss
any part of it because you're guided to walk through
the whole night. Are the animals sometimes they're awakened. Sometimes
they're not right, so.

Speaker 17 (49:48):
Some animals might have access. It's going to depend on
the weather. So we were just talking before we walked
in about how cold are weather. Some of our animals
are pulled in for their safety and for health, so
some of them will have access outside. They might not
be as visible just because it's so but you might
be able to hear some of the animals out.

Speaker 1 (50:02):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (50:03):
And then on top of the Asian Lantern Festival, we
do have Veterans Day next week and you guys have
an event for that as well.

Speaker 17 (50:09):
Yeah, absolutely, so we definitely appreciate everyone who has served
in the past and is currently serving. But from November
eight through eleventh, active and veterans have free access to
the zoo. And then there's also Bogo for family members.

Speaker 1 (50:20):
Excellent. That's awesome.

Speaker 4 (50:21):
That is that is awesome anytime you can save money
right and get benefits as a veteran for sure. And
then you also did something new real quick. You have
a new fall program. Normally you do like summer program,
summer school or summer summer camp, but now you've got
something in fall.

Speaker 10 (50:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (50:35):
So it's going to be the first year that we're
doing a fall break camp and it's going to be
ages six to twelve and it's November twenty fourth through
the twenty six Did you hear that?

Speaker 4 (50:42):
Parents?

Speaker 3 (50:42):
Yeah, over the Thanksgiving holiday exactly a fall break. Kids
out to the zoo and do something fun on your
days off. You don't have to tolerate of being around
all the time.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
Oh my god, spoken like a true parent. Yeah. Where
do folks go to get more information on that? And
during the fall thing? Do they have to pick the
kids up? Preferably? I think charge that's worth it.

Speaker 17 (51:04):
The Central Florida Zoo dot org is where you can
find all that information.

Speaker 4 (51:07):

Of kitty litter.

Speaker 7 (52:38):
We used to have the kitchen garbage in the dorm

Speaker 18 (52:43):
Can there be a mountain there and everybody would just
keep stacking on the mountain.

Speaker 19 (52:47):
Whoever knocked the mountain over had take.

Speaker 9 (52:49):
The garbage out.

Speaker 19 (52:49):

Dollar is the word. Guys, go get that money.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
I'm Jim. There's deb Jack's here as well.

Speaker 10 (53:15):
Hi.

Speaker 3 (53:16):
Every single Wednesday around this time, our friend Scott Maxwell
joins us from the Orlando Sentinel. He writes columns over
there Wednesday, Thursdays and Sundays. He's sweet Heat. They call
him the truth Dragon. Good loud for mister Scott Maxwell.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
Look at this guy. Look at this guy. Jack got a.

Speaker 9 (53:34):
Little extra pupp at your stuff today.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
Yeah, do you have a talk this morning or something
with your college shirt?

Speaker 6 (53:40):
Oh?

Speaker 19 (53:40):
Uh no, No, I would have ditched that a long
time ago. No, as soon as I hang up with
you guys, I got in event, I'm going to Yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:45):
What are you doing today? Is that something you can
talk about?

Speaker 8 (53:48):
Or no?

Speaker 19 (53:49):
Yeah, Actually it's gonna sound like a humble brag now, but.

Speaker 9 (53:53):
I was you. This was not planned. Going to the
Victim Service Center is giving me an award?

Speaker 1 (53:58):
Oh, nice, congratulation, Look at you.

Speaker 19 (54:01):
We've worked with them for a long time. It's a
great organization they are. They basically were an offshoot of
a county. But basically, when people get mugged, when they
get raped, when they get all these things, you know,
the cops they focus on the bad guys, which is
well they should, but there's really no part of our
society that focuses on the victims. And there are people
who don't know where to begin picking up the pieces

(54:22):
of their lives. So they do a great job.

Speaker 16 (54:25):
You know.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
The thing is, you know you're right.

Speaker 3 (54:27):
That is such a great topic, by the way, because
it's never spoken about the trauma, the emotional trauma that
happens when you're robbed or when something like that happens,
not even when it's a violent crime, like you just feel,
you know, people just feel unsafe for a long period
of time. It's hard to deal with emotionally.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
Sometimes.

Speaker 9 (54:44):
Yeah, absolutely, it could be.

Speaker 19 (54:45):
It could be getting a purse snatched, but to what
you're talking about, even like more invasive if your home
gets brooken into. There are people, especially if you live alone,
that have trouble getting over that starting to sleep again.

Speaker 9 (54:59):
And that's why I people don't even know where to start.

Speaker 19 (55:01):
And these folks have social workers who are by the way,
some of the most underpaid people in all of society
because they have to go through like six years of
higher ed.

Speaker 9 (55:09):
To make twenty five thousand dollars a year.

Speaker 19 (55:12):
But they got all these social workers and they'll help
and I mean sometimes it's like we're going to help
you get your bank records back and gets and sometimes
it's going to talk through your trauma. So you, like
I said, they're the only ones that really sort of
focus on the victim part of crime.

Speaker 3 (55:24):
Yeah, Scott Maxwell joining us from New Orlando Sentinel. Like
I said earlier, Wednesday and Thursdays and Sundays, you can
read his column doing a lot of reporting here in
central Florida. I noticed that you were talking to a
good friend of all of ours, Greg Higgerson, about what's
happening with SNAP benefits and where people can go, Like
it's dominated a lot of the local news cycle, just
you know, basically people printing where you may be able

(55:44):
to grab a meal or you know, get on a
plan or something.

Speaker 1 (55:47):
What did you guys talk about today? What's going on?

Speaker 9 (55:49):
Yeah, it's a lot of the same things.

Speaker 19 (55:51):
And I think the number that you I think you
mentioned it before and you and I were sharing in
a text that kind of blows a lot of people's
minds is that one in eight Floridians one in eight
is on the SNAP, the supplemental what used to be
known as food stamps. And I think that's kind of
mind blowing. And I think the thing that I hear

(56:11):
from talking to a lot of nonprofit leaders is a lot,
if not most of the people who are receiving these
benefits are do not meet your stereotype there. You know
that people might like to think of lazy, you know,
miscreants with a lot of these people are working, and
they're working full time jobs and they're working full time
jobs in Orlando and central Florida that just.

Speaker 9 (56:32):
Don't pay enough to make ends meet.

Speaker 19 (56:34):
And that is part of why Second Harvest you met
you guys probably I think know this Second Harvest is
not just one of the largest food banks in the region,
it's one of the largest food banks in the country.
In fact, I looked at the numbers this morning. I
think four of the top twenty largest food banks in
America are in Florida.

Speaker 1 (56:51):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (56:52):
And that is because we are.

Speaker 19 (56:54):
A stateful of people who can't make ends me.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (56:58):
And that goes right into the column you had to
Orlando wages as well, because those two situations really do
work hand in hand. I mean, you figure out a
full time job that pays your you know, your rent,
your power bill, maybe your phone bill, and your water bill,
but there's no money leftover food for you, so you
have to lean on assistance to feed your family. And
you're right, and I've always said you and I both
have said this, Scott. All it takes is one visit

(57:19):
to Second Harvest, and they do tours all the time.
You are more than welcome to go down and walk
around and see the facility and see exactly what these
guys do.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
On top of.

Speaker 3 (57:28):
Feeding people, they also train people who want to go
in the culinary industry. They have an entire school there
that does it as well. They are one of the
best community partners Orlando has.

Speaker 9 (57:38):
They absolutely are.

Speaker 19 (57:39):
And one of the nice things is, I think you
all have heard it too, is I've just had readers
that are reaching out and say, what can we do?
You know, what, what can we do to make a difference?
And the nice thing is that you have an organization
with a website that's easy to remember, feed Hope now
dot org. They're ready to go their turn key and

(58:00):
I think their stats inflation has hit them, but forevery
you know, dollar you give them, they're able to put
four meals on the on the plates and.

Speaker 9 (58:08):
Nobody else can do that.

Speaker 19 (58:08):
In fact, I called another nonprofit that helps homeless people
and I said, hey, I'm my inclination is to tell
people donate the Second Harvest.

Speaker 9 (58:15):
Do you think I should do something else?

Speaker 19 (58:16):
And they said, no, Second Harvest they're the ones that
take care of this. Yeah, and we can talk a
little bit about the wages too if you want.

Speaker 1 (58:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (58:23):
The reason why I would just real quick about Second Harvest.
I said this I think earlier this week as well,
that it's not just Second Harvest like that. You know,
the facility that's in Pine Hills is the facility that
that is the main facility.

Speaker 9 (58:35):
Absolute.

Speaker 3 (58:35):
But the issue is is that Second Harvest also feeds
or provides for all the other food banks in Central Florida.
So even though you may go to a veto and
get food there, maybe out in Mount Dora, Leesburg, or
maybe out in Navalon Park and you're getting your food
assistance there, Well, I got a bad I got great
news for you. A lot of that comes from Second
Harvest the central Huh. Yeah, they are feeds all the

(58:57):
other food banksh Yeah, So it's not just there, they
also spread throughout the central Borida area.

Speaker 9 (59:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (59:03):
The exact number is they are the ones that provide
food to eight hundred and seventy different food pantries and
nonprofits throughout seven counties in central Florida. They're like the
clearing house, the Amazon granddaddy of all this stuff. And
one of the things Greg Higgerson, the line that I
put into my piece that I'd posted before he got

(59:24):
here that really sort of struck me was he's like,
you know, we are ready, and it's great to have
so many people that are willing to help. And by
the way, Eric Gray of the Christian Service Center said,
you know, if people are looking at help, how about
employers step up.

Speaker 9 (59:36):
You know, if you know your employees are on food stamps.
He was like, well, first of all, maybe you got
an issue to think about there.

Speaker 19 (59:42):
Your employees are on food stamps. But if you know
they are, maybe now is the time to step up
with a gift card. But one of the things that
Higgerson said this quote that struck me. For every meal
our charity, our charitable food organizations are able to provide
snap provides nine meals.

Speaker 6 (01:00:00):
Wow.

Speaker 19 (01:00:00):
So the point of being they're ramping up, they're going
to try to do what they can, but there's there's
no cobbling together band aid solutions for the federal government
shutting down a program that feeds I think it's three
million people in Central and Florida alone.

Speaker 3 (01:00:13):
Yeah, yeah, for sure, I just move on to the wages, buddy,
because I know this is really almost systemic moving down
the line to the second harvest issue in the food
bank issues, for sure.

Speaker 9 (01:00:22):
Absolutely, and you guys are the first ones to hear this.

Speaker 19 (01:00:24):
I didn't have a colum in today's paper because this
is a project I've been working on for a while.
About twelve years ago, we did we crunched all the
numbers and found out that of the fifty largest metros
in America, Orlando ranked fiftieth, dead last for median wages.
And we just cranked them again, crunched them again, and
the new numbers are out and Orlando is now forty nine.

(01:00:47):
So I'm not sure that's Yeah, I'm not sure that's
worth a round of applause. One of the most telling
things and all of these things, is that we are
now forty ninth. Would you like to guess who fiftieth
is of the largest cities in America?

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
God, you're saying this like it's gonna hurt.

Speaker 19 (01:01:05):
Well, I'm gonna say it makes You're gonna.

Speaker 5 (01:01:07):
Go aha, Texas. It's a city, right, it's not a city.
Oh yeah, I thought you wanted to I'll go to
New York. Well nope, low ages, Oh Las Vegas, low ages? Yeah, yeah,
yeah there ye so Scott. Yeah, if if we moved

(01:01:28):
up to forty ninth, who's the fiftieth state?

Speaker 19 (01:01:31):
Now, Well, we're I don't. We're just cranking about cities.

Speaker 1 (01:01:35):
Cities. Cities are the population count.

Speaker 10 (01:01:37):
So we take the.

Speaker 19 (01:01:38):
Top fifty cities and here's here's a couple of stats
for you. So basically, you have two tourism economies that
are in a battle for last place. That's the only
thing that changed is that one tourism city went up
and one went down. And this this is what happens
when you build a economy on the backs of, you know,
people who cleaned hotel rooms and wor janitor ships and
worst fat food.

Speaker 9 (01:01:58):
I'll give you a couple of stats.

Speaker 19 (01:01:59):
We have in Central Florida Metro Orlando more than two
hundred thousand jobs in fast food and food prep alone.
That is enough people to fill the city. That's a
population the size of Fort Lauderdale that are all making
about thirteen or fourteen dollars an hour. And if you're
working fourteen dollars an hour, you're working fifteen, you're making

(01:02:20):
sixteen dollars an hour.

Speaker 9 (01:02:21):
You cannot make ends meet.

Speaker 19 (01:02:22):
I mean every study shows that you have to have
like eight make eighteen dollars just to like get the
basics and a really crappy motel. The United Way says
a family of four. Two families have got to be
earning ninety thousand dollars just to do the basics. And
we were growing up, one hundred thousand dollars was a
big deal. One hundred thousand dollars is not a big deal.
Costs have gone way up. And another stark stat one

(01:02:45):
out of every four jobs, one out of every four.
That's every kind of job you can think of in
Central Florida pay sixteen dollars and seventy six cents an
hour or less. Damn, that's within three dollars of minimum wage.
One out of every four job. So if you want
to understand why people are working this and still can't
put you know, food on their table, or maybe they're

(01:03:05):
getting food on the table, but they're not putting money
in the bank.

Speaker 9 (01:03:08):
They're not ready to.

Speaker 19 (01:03:08):
Retire, they're working into their seventies. You know, we've got
this sort of mythology that sort of tourism jobs are
all being held by college kids, teenagers or retirees.

Speaker 9 (01:03:17):
We're just trying to kill time.

Speaker 19 (01:03:19):
That is not who's cleaning the hotel rooms on Odds Drive.

Speaker 3 (01:03:22):
And you know, Scott, we talked about this with the
Fast food workers. When the minimum wage went up, you know,
people started saying, well, you know, these are supposed to
be part time jobs, supposed to be part time jobs.
And we're like, yes, you're right, there's supposed to be
part time jobs. These aren't supposed to be careers. The
problem is is now you see forty year olds getting
careers in that because there's really nothing else available, or
or they don't qualify or whatever. The jobs just aren't there.

(01:03:42):
Do not know, But I agree with you before when
it comes to the employers. I mean, if you're an
employer and you understand that, you know, somebody in your
office is working, you know, forty hours a week and
they still have to go to get food assistance, maybe
you need to reboot.

Speaker 19 (01:03:54):
Yeah, there was a there was another nonprofit it's called
Unite Against Poverty that changed name. Yeah to be around
and I will never forget they ran a food bank
and one of the lines the former director said, he said,
I go out here.

Speaker 9 (01:04:07):
I want to invite the present.

Speaker 19 (01:04:08):
I want to invite the presidents of Universal and Disney
to our place, and I would like you to see
your employees arriving in your uniforms to my nonprofit.

Speaker 9 (01:04:19):
To try to get bred to feed their families.

Speaker 19 (01:04:22):
And he says, if you don't think that's a problem,
you know, then I guess we can discuss that. But
right now we're taking care of the of the problems
that you're creating. And I started to mention that, Jack,
when you mentioned the top fifty cities, I wanted to
put in perspective. We are the twentieth largest metro. We
talked about metro. You know, it's not just Orlando, it's Seminole, Osceola.
We are the twentieth largest metro with the forty ninth wages.

(01:04:44):
So to put that in comparison, We're a city the
size of Baltimore or Denver, but we have wages like Birmingham, Alabama.
As a matter of fact, Birmingham, Alabama has median wages
higher than Orlando with a significantly lower cost of living,
wages that are higher in Grand Rapids, Michigan with a
lower cost of living. This is why people are working

(01:05:05):
full time. They can't make ends meet. And we're talking
about the low end of the scate the scale, but
the median wage here is forty five thousand dollars. That
means half of all jobs are paying less than that.
And what took me a while is I've found someone
who works. He's a chef at an Epcot restaurant. You know,
he makes about forty six thousand dollars. You know, he
handcrafts pasta at the Italian restaurant out there.

Speaker 9 (01:05:26):
Tourists come and get their picture.

Speaker 19 (01:05:28):
Taken with them.

Speaker 9 (01:05:29):
They love his meals.

Speaker 19 (01:05:30):
He drives a uber shift before every morning and after
every day he does rides to Tampa and up to
Lake Mary. He says, you know, I make forty eight
thousand dollars. That's not enough to pay my mortgage. You know,
the average mortgage in Central Florida right now is twenty
seven hundred dollars.

Speaker 9 (01:05:49):
Twenty seven hundred dollars.

Speaker 19 (01:05:50):
Do the math on that. That's thirty three grand you
have to spend on a mortgage. Forget bills, for get food,
forget vacations, forget savings, account for insurance. The math doesn't
add up to sustainability. And as I think, you know,
I'm awfully preachy because I really just think all economic
issues from stem from this. My argument has never been
about higher minimum wages. I'm not out there saying let's

(01:06:11):
have thirty dollars minimum wages. I'm asking the question of
why does our community focus so obsessively on growing these
low wage jobs at the expense of everything else. We
see cities like like Austin that focused on technology and
those are eighty one hundred thousand dollars a year job.
Cities like Charlotte that focused on finance with their ninety
thousand dollars a job. We add some of those kind

(01:06:32):
of things, But for every one job we add in
software development, we're adding three more jobs in fast food.

Speaker 3 (01:06:38):
And scott You know, you know again when you when
you consider the numbers, I did not know those numbers.
Those stats are absolutely stultifying. You know another thing too,
and again you know, if you own a business, you
can do what you want right, you certainly can. But man,
you know, every time the park trains those prices, you know,
every time you pay forty five dollars to park out
there or whatever you wonder. You know, we understand operating

(01:06:59):
cost is expensive, but is it is it that much more?
I mean, when you're jacking the price one hundred and
fifty dollars a day or whatever, that's not spread around
this that that that money doesn't go to the people
who create those moments for people who always to.

Speaker 9 (01:07:10):
Go to Jim.

Speaker 19 (01:07:11):
That is one of the things the cook I talked
to about, and he did not complain. He did not
come to me. I went and found him. But I
went and looked at the menu prices. You know, the
chicken palm is thirty eight bucks. Yeah, the large pizza
starts at forty two dollars at this restaurant. And one
of the lines he said was I love making magic.

Speaker 9 (01:07:28):
I mean he buys into the Disney thing.

Speaker 19 (01:07:30):
I love making magic, but magic don't pay his mortgage.

Speaker 3 (01:07:33):
Yeah, yeah, you know, and I think that, you know,
I you know, there is a large portion of people
who work at theme parks who do that, I mean,
move here from other parts of the country because they
want that experience. They want to be part of that
magical experience. They just love the genre of it all.
And then of course they have you know, they get
caught up in it. They have to wind up, you know,
either switching jobs. We know a number of people who
worked at theme parks when to move on because you

(01:07:54):
just didn't pay what they wanted it to pay. They
loved the time, but it doesn't really support the family.

Speaker 19 (01:08:00):
And there are some people who will say, well, you know,
if they're not happy with their job and they don't
like what they're making, they should get another job or
get a degree, and to which I say, well, you're
you're maybe right, but you don't understand how our economy works.
Because even if every single one of those people got
a degree in rocket scientists and went to work for NASA,
Orlando still has one hundred and thirty thousand hotel rooms

(01:08:22):
that have to be cleaned and checked in, that have
the janitors and securities that our economy is built to
work on these low wage salaries. And I think we
should work harder to bring in the higher wage than
to keep growing the lower wage.

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
Yeah, good calling today, buddy. Great read.

Speaker 3 (01:08:37):

Yeah that's great man. Well congratulations, buddy. A thousand bucks
never never hurts anybody. I like to find them in

Speaker 1 (01:10:29):
Yeah, really good holiday man.

Speaker 3 (01:10:32):
Yeah, dude, I found like twenty five bucks on the
drive the other day, and it was like finding a
bar of gold. I don't know why that's so satisfied money,
because why is that so satisfying?

Speaker 5 (01:10:41):
Yeah, because you know, if you're ahead, and even if
it was yours, you would have been behind you even
knowing it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:47):
My wife watching it. It was a pair of jeans
my wife had on the cruise.

Speaker 5 (01:10:51):
Oh time aut So it's your wife's money, yeah right,
well no, no, no.

Speaker 3 (01:10:57):
If it's in the dryer, yeah, it's whoever's folding those.

Speaker 1 (01:11:00):
That is what that is. Absolutely But apparently it's a
pair of genes.

Speaker 3 (01:11:05):
She was wearing my gambling on the cruise ship, having
a couple of cocktails and shoved that, shoved some loose
cash into a pocket and then all came out.

Speaker 1 (01:11:13):
I think it was like thirty dollars all together. Welcome back.
I'm Jim. There's Deb. Hello.

Speaker 3 (01:11:18):
Jack is here as well. Yeah, it's got some breaking
news from the AP. That's the Associated Press, and it's
something that Deb actually talked about yesterday or the day before.

Speaker 1 (01:11:29):
Deb, Do you remember when you brought that up first?
Some news?

Speaker 4 (01:11:32):
Yeah, that was yesterday where US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy
warned that parts of US airspace may need to be
closed because of the ongoing government shutdown and the lack
of enough air traffic controllers.

Speaker 1 (01:11:46):
Well, breaking news.

Speaker 3 (01:11:46):
The FAA just announced Wednesday, which is today, just released
this that it will reduce air traffic by ten percent
across forty high volume markets beginning Friday morning to maintain
safety during on government ongoing government shutdown. So I don't
know what those forty high volume markets are, but I
guess they're probably pretty easy. Probably the forty biggest cities

(01:12:07):
in America.

Speaker 1 (01:12:08):
Which I would assume would probably include our area.

Speaker 3 (01:12:10):
Would definitely include Orlando. There's no question. You know you're Orlando,
New York, Chicago, Dallas, LA, you know, Seattle, you know
Saint Louis, all those big cities. Dallas, Yeah, those are
going to have a ten percent reduction. So I would
guess if you're flying and my wife is next week,
that you probably need to make sure that your flight
isn't going to be affected by this FAA pinch.

Speaker 4 (01:12:31):
So that's that's going to be leading to an estimated
four thousand flights being impacted daily.

Speaker 3 (01:12:37):
Yes, yeah, yeah, it's a big deal. And again if
you're flying next week out of OIA. Now, again they
don't release the airports of the markets. I'm sure that's
coming later. They wanted to get this initial statement out,
but we will find out exactly what those markets are.
But look, let me tell you, I mean, it's probably
the forty biggest cities in the US.

Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
I'm figure about yourself.

Speaker 3 (01:12:55):
You know, you're San Diego's, San Francisco, La in California,
Here in Florida, Miami, Orlando.

Speaker 4 (01:13:00):
New York, Boston, Washington, d C.

Speaker 3 (01:13:02):
Absolutely Atlanta, of course. Yeah, all the areas you think
would be affected are going to be affected ten percent reduction,
and like dev said, four thousand flights a day will
be affected.

Speaker 5 (01:13:12):
At any given moment. There are approximately how many airplanes
flying over the United.

Speaker 1 (01:13:17):
States horrifying number, two thousand. Interesting.

Speaker 4 (01:13:24):
I was gonna go. How about twenty five.

Speaker 5 (01:13:31):
It says five to seven thousand airplanes are flying over
the US approximately at any given moment.

Speaker 3 (01:13:37):
Have you ever seen that map? Have you ever seen
that map that try not to look. It looks like
a very rudimentary map of the US, and it's showing
all the current flights with a little, tiny cartoon airplane.

Speaker 1 (01:13:47):
You can't even see the US.

Speaker 3 (01:13:49):
There are so many planes in the air, literally blankets
the entire country except for like the Midwest.

Speaker 5 (01:13:53):
Hey, yeah, morning and late afternoon and the busiest week
days tend to have more traffic. Seasonal travel holidays in
summer months increase volume.

Speaker 1 (01:14:06):
Four thousand flights a day.

Speaker 4 (01:14:07):
All that in play, and then, of course, you know
if you have a connecting flight, right, so if you're
not traveling to one of the forty biggest markets, you
could be out of the woods. But if you're flying,
let's say to La and you have a connecting flight.

Speaker 1 (01:14:21):
And Dallas for Worth is usually where that is, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:14:24):
I mean you could be looking at some real hairy
travel situations. It may require adding a day or two
to your travel schedules, because if you're going to meetings,
if this is a work thing that you're traveling for.
It used to be you could arrive the day before
and assume you'd be good to go for your meeting
the next day. But now with this kind of flight
thing up in the air, you could be delayed up

(01:14:45):
to a day day and a half before you get
to your destination.

Speaker 1 (01:14:48):
Yeah, could you imagine that?

Speaker 4 (01:14:49):
Yeah, that would be misery in a whole new level,
because you're not traveling for fun. Yeah, you're traveling for work.
You're already stressed out.

Speaker 1 (01:14:57):
You don't be stuck exactly.

Speaker 4 (01:14:58):
It's not like you're taking a baker going to a
great airbnb somewhere out west or whatever you do.

Speaker 1 (01:15:05):
In my life, sitting on the floor by a subway
and Dallas Forward Airport, exactly have myself ten dollar coke.
I don't know what they're gonna do. That is not good.
I would be again.

Speaker 3 (01:15:18):
Only and that announcement coming on the heels of you know,
them spreading a big jet across a neighborhood up there
in Kentucky.

Speaker 4 (01:15:25):
Yeah, god, that well, you know, and what they said
yesterday with their saying, you know, listen, air travel right
now isn't any more inherently unsafe than it was before
the government shut down. But there is a little bit
more risk to be assumed because there aren't as many
air traffic controllers, and the ones that are there, they're overworked,
they're stressed out, they're mandated by law to work without

(01:15:48):
a paycheck. I would be a little uncomfortable with someone
like that watching that little squiggly line.

Speaker 1 (01:15:52):
Yeah. Two words you don't want in your world. Pissed
pilot yeah, or pissed air traffic controller. Let me ask
a quick question.

Speaker 3 (01:15:58):
Do air traffic controller also direct the traffic while the
planes are taxiing?

Speaker 1 (01:16:04):
Yes? I believe they are so.

Speaker 3 (01:16:06):
In other words, it's not just them in the air
they're also controlling where the plane's taxiing and everything that
that's not an on ground operation.

Speaker 4 (01:16:12):
What runway they take, what runway they approach, what runway
they land on.

Speaker 3 (01:16:16):
I think that the airport itself is probably the most
dangerous place, is it not, Like when you get in
the air I mean, it's pretty easy to say, hey, look,
we're on this like flight level, we're on this path,
we're at this height, you know or whatever.

Speaker 16 (01:16:28):
I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:16:29):
I would think that would be relatively easy because once
that flight plan is logged in the plane gets into
that flight plan, you just kind of no, avoid that
flight plan. But we're on the ground and all those
other planes are moving around and jockeying for a position
to get out. I would think that would be almost
some of the most dangerous places to be.

Speaker 4 (01:16:45):
No, well, it depends like this one.

Speaker 3 (01:16:47):
This one didn't even make it in the air when
it crashed. Basically it just barely lifted up and crash.

Speaker 1 (01:16:51):
Yeah that's not a passenger plane. Yeahah, you know.

Speaker 5 (01:16:53):
But still with air travel, the most dangerous times are
takeoff in landing.

Speaker 3 (01:16:57):
Right, yeah, and not while you're cruising. Yeah, so I
would think that you were the people really come into
play as the people directing the airport traffic is the
thing that would be a little scared of. Well, they
do have safety measures when there's other planes like in
your area or stuff that you know, automatically alert. You
remember when this cut when all the cutbacks started with

(01:17:18):
the government, that's when we started having those situations. It
seemed like what two or three in a week where
it was like this plane got into this path, or
this plane had to move out of the way because
this one was about to land. That's just stuff that
would scare me as planes are coming in that they
didn't direct the one plane of the right area, and
they directed you right into the path of another one.

Speaker 4 (01:17:35):
I think what I find scarier is what happened out
in Burbank, California, several weeks ago, where they had to
shut the control tower down because they had no air
traffic controllers. It was empty, and so pilots had to
go back to remembering what it was like to land.

Speaker 1 (01:17:50):
And I was trying to think.

Speaker 4 (01:17:50):
I don't think ever in my life I've ever landed
or taken off from an airport and there hasn't been
an air traffic control time.

Speaker 1 (01:17:57):
When you call the tower, you get ghosted. So that's
that's the other issue.

Speaker 4 (01:18:01):
Too.

Speaker 3 (01:18:02):
Crazy stuff, man, all right four oh seven nine one
six one four one Again, you can always text us
at seven seven zero three one. Tom Brady did something
very interesting in deb I think you would agree. I'll
tell you what it is next.

Speaker 22 (01:18:18):
Hey, guys, As Sonia from Treston, South Carolina about the
e bikes and stuff like that, I will not get
on one, just because I've heard of so many accidents
with things like that, especially like the line.

Speaker 1 (01:18:31):
Bikes or the line of scooters.

Speaker 22 (01:18:34):
I mean, I had one of my friends who broke
her face, and also had another friend that is there
now paralyzed from the neck down from it.

Speaker 5 (01:18:41):
So you guys.

Speaker 22 (01:18:42):
Please be careful and if you don't have to, don't
get on one, or at least wear a helmet.

Speaker 1 (01:18:46):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 22 (01:18:47):
I have a great day.

Speaker 1 (01:18:47):
Thank you, thank you. I love her voice, you too.

Speaker 5 (01:18:50):
But the stories were horrific. Yea, not as Nando coming
from her. Her friend brokeer face. I mean that that's
something you normally don't hear. But then after that, the
next person.

Speaker 1 (01:18:59):
Was paralyze from the neck down.

Speaker 5 (01:19:01):
Whenever my wife and I walk and buy one of those,
I'm like, hey, let's take it. Let's take the scooter,
let's take the live No.

Speaker 3 (01:19:06):
Yeah, yeah, now, man, I'm telling you, I tell that
Nashville story all the time. You had to Nashville and
see all those bachelorette parties come up there, you know,
hammering like ten neutrals and then all deciding collectively they
need to get on an e bike and then face
planning and sliding about twenty feet.

Speaker 1 (01:19:20):
Oh that's a case of road Charles Barkley for that.

Speaker 3 (01:19:23):
But you don't need a part of that world five
o'clock keyword is deposit the epos It slide over to
real radio dot FM and send that off for your chance.
In one thousand bucks had a three o'clock winner today
and a six o'clock Winter last night. Come on two
grand and hours, go get that money, guys, Deposit is
the word.

Speaker 1 (01:19:39):
We wish you the very best. I'm Jim.

Speaker 3 (01:19:41):
There's Deb Hello, Jack is here as well. Yeah, I
had a question ask you, guys. I totally forgot what
it was gonna be.

Speaker 9 (01:19:47):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (01:19:48):
I literally just had a question on the tip of
my tongue. Oh, I was telling Deb during the break.
I'm kind of going online and finding some of the arguments.

Speaker 1 (01:19:56):
Jack.

Speaker 3 (01:19:57):
I know that you are interested in this stuff. I
would implore you by the I don't You probably haven't
seen any today because we've been on the air, But
the argument's being made now to the Supreme Court regarding
the tariffs and stuff. This is one of the biggest
cases the court will take up all year long, right
And I will tell you, I don't know how.

Speaker 1 (01:20:14):
Interested out there.

Speaker 3 (01:20:15):
If you guys are, if you want to hear some
of the most fascinating arguments when it comes to how
the country works, like how the Supreme Court decides what,
you know, what we can do, what the president can do,
what branches of governments can do. I think it's fascinating
some of the I've heard some of the opinions from
Amy Cone and Barrett and I just heard one from
Gorsic and it's it's really interesting stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:20:36):
It really is.

Speaker 3 (01:20:38):
Also, we're going to interview the lead singer of Toto
in about twenty five minutes or so. If you have
a question that you would like to ask the lead
singer of Toto, Detective to A seven seven zero three one.
I've got some stuff I'm going to ask, but I
always kind of wonder if what I have to ask
is interesting to the audience. So if you guys have
a question that you'd like to pose to the lead
singer of Toto, send it over and we'll consider taking.

Speaker 1 (01:20:58):
If it's a good question, I'll ask.

Speaker 4 (01:21:00):
I think last last celebrity interview you did, you got
a lot of compliments from listen.

Speaker 1 (01:21:04):
No, I don't have any problem.

Speaker 3 (01:21:05):
What I'm saying is is like you know, you don't
know sometimes if you're asking this up that people want
to know from that particular person.

Speaker 5 (01:21:11):
And what she is saying is trust your instinct because
you do a good job with it.

Speaker 1 (01:21:15):
But I don't have any problem. But I have like
five questions. Why are you so scared?

Speaker 3 (01:21:19):
But what I'm saying is is I would love to
hear what the audience thinks, you know, what they would
like to ask him.

Speaker 1 (01:21:23):
Do you have something to ask I do? Yeah, I do.
I've got four or five things. You got something? I'm
working on it, right. I just saw him perform this summer. Yeah,
that's right. Yeah, see the band. Yeah, and the band
sounds pretty good. They were great.

Speaker 3 (01:21:36):
They that's like a recording. There are studio musicians. That's
what they were, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:21:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:21:40):
By the way, Toto tickets, they're coming back March first
at the hard Rock Live here in Orlando. But tickets
go on sale this Friday. But we have a code
for you where you can actually get tickets today I
think until tomorrow morning.

Speaker 1 (01:21:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:21:56):
Yeah, yeah, we'll give you that code when we get
Joe on the air for sure. That's coming up and
just a few minutes Joe Williams.

Speaker 1 (01:22:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:22:01):
So, uh, Tom Brady Robby. Everybody knows who Tom Brady is,
obviously former quarterback for the Patriots and the Bucks Super
Bowl Monster six rings, six rings for Tom.

Speaker 1 (01:22:13):
Yeah, who's counting? Yeah, who's counting.

Speaker 3 (01:22:16):
Tom did something that I'm wondering. I think Deb would
do this. I know Jack wouldn't, and I probably I
would not either. Well, you already know I would not.
You would not do it. No, you wouldn't clone your dog.

Speaker 17 (01:22:28):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:22:29):
Tom Brady cloned his favorite dog. Why wouldn't you do that.

Speaker 3 (01:22:32):
That's an interesting that's an interesting I would think that
you would know even if you had the money, did
you tell.

Speaker 4 (01:22:37):
Us about the money You're you're not getting your dog?

Speaker 1 (01:22:40):
I knew.

Speaker 5 (01:22:41):
See, I would have bet all my money that Deb
would Nihald.

Speaker 3 (01:22:44):
I would have lost that bet like ten times, because
I would think because you talk so glowingly about your
about your former is it Golden Retriever?

Speaker 4 (01:22:53):
Right, yeah, both two of them.

Speaker 3 (01:22:54):
Yeah, yeah, so you speak so glowingly about them like
I would Dex. I mean, Dex would be the only
dog I would ever consider cloning my bull Mastiff.

Speaker 5 (01:23:03):
It's like you're getting a dog in the family. You're
not getting the same dog. It's not the same personality.
And that's what people are finding out is that these
dogs behave differently.

Speaker 1 (01:23:13):
Yeah, it's a it's like petsemetery.

Speaker 4 (01:23:15):
Yeah, yeah, you're just like Jack said, you're getting it.
It looks the same. But that's all.

Speaker 3 (01:23:21):
Well you don't know that though, right. I mean, the
dog could turn out to be kind of similar to
the other dog.

Speaker 1 (01:23:25):
I don't believe.

Speaker 4 (01:23:26):
So.

Speaker 3 (01:23:26):
No, isn't a dog's personality based on kind of how
you treat it as a puppy? I mean, isn't that
kind of a large part of the way a dog
acts as the way that the owner raises the dog?

Speaker 1 (01:23:35):
No different than a child?

Speaker 5 (01:23:36):
Well, no, you think of that with a child. Child
children come out different all the time in the same family.

Speaker 1 (01:23:42):
Yeah, think about it.

Speaker 4 (01:23:42):
Your first one's usually the calm, sensible, clean one, and
then the second one comes in and brings that second
child energy.

Speaker 1 (01:23:48):
Yeah, the successful one is always the one. I like shocker,
But you would would you clone decks man? Not for
the month? You see how much it was?

Speaker 4 (01:23:57):
It wouldn't matter to me because I'm not getting my
dog back.

Speaker 1 (01:24:00):
I know. But what I'm saying is, did you see
how much it was?

Speaker 4 (01:24:02):
It's well it's Tom Brady money. So yeah, what do
you think ten thousand?

Speaker 5 (01:24:07):
What do you think, Jack, what do you think it
costly cloning? H Yeah, it's got to be a lot.
Doesn't he have a piece of this company? I don't
know if he does or not read that, Yeah, I
think he does. Yeah, I'll say fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:24:19):
Yeah, it's exactly fifty kish yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:24:24):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:24:25):
Well here's the thing I don't like the dire wolf
thing that we had earlier this year.

Speaker 4 (01:24:29):
That company that does this cloning, they do this one
and equine cloning. They're also behind the anti prehistoric or
extinction thing there. That's the company behind like the Wooly
mammoth and the dire wolf.

Speaker 3 (01:24:42):
Yeah, he is an investor and it's called Colossal Biosciences.
It describes itself as a quote de extinction company.

Speaker 1 (01:24:50):
There we go. Yeah, oh man, that's quite a statement.

Speaker 3 (01:24:53):
That's quite a Last time we saw this, didn't dinosaurs
goes crazy and people.

Speaker 4 (01:24:57):
Don't worry about that Pandora's box.

Speaker 1 (01:24:59):
It's been open.

Speaker 3 (01:25:00):
Did we ever find out what happened to those wolves?
They did successfully clone the direwolf, did they not? It's
like a brievetive of it.

Speaker 4 (01:25:08):
Yeah, as far as I know, if there's still alive
and thriving fifty k.

Speaker 3 (01:25:12):
It was founded in Austin, Texas in two thousand and two,
and it's been doing this, I guess for quite a while.
I said, they the dire wolf have been extinct for
more than ten thousand years, and I guess they used
that with a was it German shepherd or another wolf?

Speaker 1 (01:25:26):
I thought it was a regular wolf? Wolf?

Speaker 3 (01:25:28):
Yeah, says I love my animals. This is what Tom
Brady says, because nobody else does. Brady, in a statement
is released by the company to the press, they mean
the world to me and my family.

Speaker 1 (01:25:39):
A few years ago, I worked with Colossal and.

Speaker 3 (01:25:41):
Leverage their non invasive cloning technology through a simple blood
draw of our family's elderly dog before she passed.

Speaker 5 (01:25:48):
Well, yeah, it should be followed with I love my animals,
and I have more money than I ever can spend
in several lifetimes.

Speaker 4 (01:25:55):
Exactly, so let me figure out you know.

Speaker 3 (01:25:58):
Yeah, I mean do you I mean, do you not
like the animal as much as if you do clone
it and it looks exactly like your animal, but it's
just a little off.

Speaker 5 (01:26:05):
I think then you're annoyed, You're disappointing.

Speaker 1 (01:26:07):
That's what I think. Do maybe you will carry that
with you. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:26:12):
In the rehearsal, I remember Nathan Fielder, comedian show producer,
did Nathan for you, and then he had to show
the rehearsal and in it he featured people with clone
dogs one of the episodes, and what you learn is
that they don't behave the same as the original.

Speaker 4 (01:26:32):
You're in love with that, with that, that whole package,
with that animal exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:26:38):
You're not getting that a.

Speaker 3 (01:26:39):
Number of celebrities have done this, though, Barbara Streisand did it.
Let's see Paris Hilton did it.

Speaker 4 (01:26:44):
I mean other people with more money than got Sucker.

Speaker 3 (01:26:48):
Brady's was a pit bull mix he adopted with his
then wife Jaselle Bunch. And Jesus we you you cloned
a you cloned a save dog. You cloned an adopted dog.
I mean that's the kind of wild too, right, I mean,
wouldn't you just go adopt another dog? I mean, isn't
that the idea of adopting a dog? He adopts a
dog and then it clones. Then it spends fifty thousand

(01:27:08):
dollars to try to recreate an adopted dog, a rescue dog.
To argue on his behalf is yeah, you adopted the
dog and found the perfect dog, and that's what you're
trying to replicate. Yeah, I think against that. And the
way I believe is, Wow, you could adopt just another dog,
get a new dog, experience, save a dog, and spend

(01:27:30):
that fifty thousand dollars, you know, helping more dog.

Speaker 4 (01:27:33):
To me this in a way, personally, it seems like
a very selfish decision.

Speaker 1 (01:27:37):
Really, Yeah, it says a Peda.

Speaker 3 (01:27:40):
Of course, and other critics of pet cloning argue that
it can mean producing multiple animals that are discarded before
a successful clone. Is that the process, Like they basically
use the DNA until they get a dog that looks
exactly like the one, Like, maybe it doesn't come out
exactly like that. I mean, I don't know what the
animals how could it be discarded though that?

Speaker 1 (01:27:59):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:28:00):
I mean, they're just basically using the DNA to pre
program what the what the dog is going to look like?

Speaker 1 (01:28:05):
That's it, right, weight, height, breed, breed, hair.

Speaker 3 (01:28:08):
Color, things of that nature, It says a Colossal Biosciences
has presented its gene editing and cloning tech as a
high tech way of preserving the world's biodiversity. As more
species face extinction, isn't that that I mean, if it's
not human powered though, isn't that the kind of how
nature works, like things become extinct? Yeah, I mean, as

(01:28:34):
long as it's not helping, you know, being helped along.

Speaker 4 (01:28:37):
We just had a couple of species of coral go
extinct off the coast of Florida.

Speaker 1 (01:28:40):
Yeah, so yeah, ain't nobody cloning coral.

Speaker 4 (01:28:44):
Actually they're not cloning it, but they are trying to
propagate it.

Speaker 5 (01:28:47):
Yeah you know, yeah, but we'll just think another cruise
ship and make another artificial reef.

Speaker 1 (01:28:54):
Did they do that yet?

Speaker 3 (01:28:55):
I don't think they did it yet. I kind of
wanted to see that. I know they streamed it, but
I didn't see it it.

Speaker 4 (01:29:01):
Yeah, Elkhorn and staghorn have been declared functionally extinct in Florida.

Speaker 5 (01:29:05):
Wow, I wonder how the name of the muppets that
sat in the balcony says.

Speaker 3 (01:29:11):
The company has successfully cloned sixteen species, including first such
as the blackfooted ferret and the Prazwalski's horse.

Speaker 1 (01:29:24):
Good luck with that.

Speaker 5 (01:29:26):
Yeah, I mean we're only going to keep as science
grows exponentially, juiced by artificial intelligence and the advent of
these quantum computing you know, yeah, this whole next generation
of science and advancement, we are only going to be

(01:29:46):
inundated with these ethical questions on should we do it
just because we can?

Speaker 3 (01:29:52):
How about the I mean like, could you I mean,
could you clone Secretariat? Could you clone a race horse
and create like a an army of perfectly you know,
perfect race horses or I mean look, even though it
might not act the same, I mean it has the
same body style. If you have the same physical structure,
theoretically you could train a horse with that's that structure

(01:30:13):
to run as fast.

Speaker 5 (01:30:14):
So what Yeah, when you're dealing with a horse, that
value is in its seamen. Well I was going to
say physicality. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and that's what you're replicating
with cloning, not the personality with Is that's what you
really want in a pet? Is their personality?

Speaker 1 (01:30:30):
Sure thing?

Speaker 3 (01:30:31):
Yeah, But what I'm saying is with a race horse,
you don't really you're not cuddling with it. I mean,
it's it's built to run fast. I mean you're not
really taking time out to hit out by the fire.
It would seem more value in that.

Speaker 4 (01:30:40):
Yeah, yeah, And that's why it's a part EQ Wine
cloning company. It's that doesn't just do pets, it sells,
does EQ Wine?

Speaker 7 (01:30:47):
God?

Speaker 1 (01:30:47):
Would they be would that be allowed to run?

Speaker 3 (01:30:49):
I mean if you cloned like a championship horse, would
it be able to compete?

Speaker 13 (01:30:53):
Or that?

Speaker 1 (01:30:53):
Just what is that cheating?

Speaker 5 (01:30:54):
Just more fun questions you will have in the future.

Speaker 3 (01:30:57):
All right, four oh seven nine six four one h
Joseph Williams coming up next to the lead singer of Toto.

Speaker 1 (01:31:03):
We'll talk to him right after this.

Speaker 2 (01:31:11):

Sauce with Ross Pageant. Today it's six on the Jim

Welcome back on Jim. There's deb Hello, Jack's here as well.

Speaker 1 (01:31:43):
Yo, you guys give it up.

Speaker 3 (01:31:44):
Good laugh for the lead singer of Toto, mister Joe
will ya, look at this rock star.

Speaker 1 (01:31:51):
How you doing, buddy?

Speaker 4 (01:31:55):
Quite literally, I don't hear you. Yeah, oh now, quite
literally looking like a rock sky.

Speaker 3 (01:31:59):
Yeah, he does look like rocks or we're working this
out right now. Let's see if we can Oh, you're there, Joe.

Speaker 4 (01:32:06):
We can see him, but he can't hear us.

Speaker 1 (01:32:08):
I was just talking to him and he sounds amazing too, Joe,
can you hear us? Hang on, poor Jack over there
working the buttons.

Speaker 5 (01:32:15):
Yeah, working the buttons.

Speaker 1 (01:32:19):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:32:20):
Joe and the guys are totally gonna be in Hard
Rock Live March first. And we do have a code
where you can grab your tickets here a little bit early.
They go on sale for everyone on Friday, November seventh,
but we do have a code that will allow you
to grab those tickets a little bit early.

Speaker 7 (01:32:35):
Joe.

Speaker 3 (01:32:35):
You there, hello, hello there, He is no not yet all.

Speaker 1 (01:32:44):
Right, but can you hear me? Yeah? Yeah, we can
hear you for sure?

Speaker 4 (01:32:48):
Here?

Speaker 10 (01:32:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:32:49):
Yeah, okay, cool, I can't.

Speaker 11 (01:32:50):
If I could read lips, this would be fantastic.

Speaker 1 (01:32:53):
I'm pulling down in the death.

Speaker 3 (01:32:57):
Yeah, pull him down there, Jack, and then what we'll
do we'll get to him out well, you can work
it out and we'll bring him up. I talked to
him off the airal quick, and we'll get him going
here in a second. Joe Williams and the guys from
Toto will be playing hard Rock Live on March first.
Like I said, tickets go on sale on Friday, but
we do have a code where you can get this
a little bit earlier, and that may be advantage because
very popular. They've had a giant resurgence because of the

(01:33:17):
song Africa being being re recorded by Weezer.

Speaker 4 (01:33:21):
Right right, and a lot of their songs you know,
kind of in that yacht rock genre.

Speaker 1 (01:33:25):
Oh yeah, for sure.

Speaker 4 (01:33:26):
And I think Jack actually got to see them live
this past summer along with Christopher Cross and men at Work.
Yeah yeah, yeah, So it'll be interesting to hear about
that as well. But and you might think March is
a little early to get that code and get those tickets,
but no.

Speaker 3 (01:33:40):
It's not, because when you look at how they sell
tickets and it is one of those things where you know,
it's a thirty five hundred seat venue, I think, and
then that's about what it holds. And this band is iconic,
you know again, you know people my age, we went
to high school with this, but then with this resurgence,
you know, now an entire new generation of people have
fallen in love with Toto in their music. And of
course one of the best goods our players in the
history of rock and roll, Steve Lucather, right, I mean

(01:34:02):
as a monster, you know. I mean he wrote the
he wrote the lead riff for was It Billy Jean
or beat It? Oh no, that was Eddie. But he
did write a couple of riffs for Michael Jackson. So
just a really talented group of people, studio musicians across
the board.

Speaker 4 (01:34:17):
Plus you know, the holidays are coming up. If you
know someone who would like to go and see that show,
he'll be able to get those tickets and put him
in their Christmas stock.

Speaker 3 (01:34:25):
Yeah. Sure, so jack will be working on that. Hopefully
we can get Joe Williams here on the air in
a couple of seconds for sure. And man, I gotta
tell you, I haven't been to a show in a while.
I haven't haven't been to a concert in quite a bit.
And it's not that I don't have time. It's just
like nobody I've kind of wanted to check out has
come through, so I haven't really you know, I haven't
really you know, taken the time to go over and

(01:34:45):
find any tickets for anything like that.

Speaker 4 (01:34:47):
Well, we recently had a flock of Seagulls at the
Mount or a music hall.

Speaker 3 (01:34:51):
That's like the second time, second or third time they've
played out there. They must really like.

Speaker 1 (01:34:54):
It out there. This was the first I've heard.

Speaker 3 (01:34:57):
But yeah, see, didn't they just play that that you
or not even like last year or another eighties band
that was in that flock of seagirl Flock of Seagulls world.

Speaker 4 (01:35:06):
I think maybe that because it was a show I
had wanted to go see but was you know, unfortunately
wasn't able to check it out.

Speaker 3 (01:35:13):
And they I think the elite t air of the
band lives here locally, heaves over like on the coast
or something exactly. Yeah, local guys, I know. He used
to come into I used to hang out at sam
Ash Music right the one down on East Colonial Drive
for a while.

Speaker 1 (01:35:26):
The best place to get your headphones.

Speaker 3 (01:35:27):
I would go in there and just like just play guitars.
And when I was playing a lot, and inevitably they
said that, like you know, about once a month, that
dude would come rolling in and uh, and that's that's
exactly what you'd see.

Speaker 1 (01:35:40):
Can you hear me now? Jay hear us? Joe?

Speaker 3 (01:35:44):
I can hey, Joe Williams with us from Toto. Like
we said before, they'll be playing hard Rock Live on
March first.

Speaker 1 (01:35:52):
How you doing? But everything good.

Speaker 11 (01:35:55):
I'm doing pretty well. Death there for a few minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:35:58):
But you know I'm there.

Speaker 10 (01:35:59):
We are.

Speaker 3 (01:36:00):
We apologize. It happened sometimes in this business. Good to
see you, buddy. You know, let's hop into it, man,
because we've had a little time. I wanted to ask
you a question because I read everything today. Did you
audition for Toto?

Speaker 1 (01:36:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (01:36:13):
In a manner of speaking, yes, I mean ultimately I
had to go in there and show them, you know,
what I could do and whether whether or not I
could handle the Bobby Kimballtoon's and all of that stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:36:23):
Yeah, but they knew me.

Speaker 11 (01:36:25):
They you know, they all knew me before I came
in there.

Speaker 3 (01:36:27):
And that's kind of what I wanted to ask, because,
I mean, you know, I knew that there is like
a it's almost a guy.

Speaker 11 (01:36:31):
I lost you again. How weird is that it's rock
and roll?

Speaker 1 (01:36:36):
Can you hears now, buddy?

Speaker 11 (01:36:38):
Nope, I don't know what just happened, But I lost
you again.

Speaker 1 (01:36:42):
You know, I'm gonna blame that West Coast technology. Yeah,
it's got to be that for sure.

Speaker 4 (01:36:46):
All Right, we're having an East coast West Coast beef.

Speaker 3 (01:36:48):
Let's just call it and try to reschedule it, buddy,
or do something like that. Four oh seven nine one
six one o four one again. You can always text
us at seven seven zero three one man. And you know,
this guy has an amazing story, really, and I mean
an absolute amazing story. One of the reasons I wanted
to ask him if he auditioned because you know, there's
an interview where he talks about following up Kimball, who

(01:37:09):
was the original singer for Toto, and the one thing
was kind of wild and you never really pay attention
to it. He said it was difficult because the guy
sang very loudly, and he wasn't really sure if he
was going to be able to kind of fall in
there because his voice doesn't project like Kimball's.

Speaker 4 (01:37:25):
Well, that may be what impressed you. For me, it
was being the singing voice for Simba and the Lion
King Hakuna Matada, who hasn't sung Hokuna Matata and you.

Speaker 3 (01:37:36):
Look farther back into this guy's career. He liked sang
the theme song for Like the Gummy Bears TV show,
an ad form er something.

Speaker 4 (01:37:43):
Started off as a radio and television artist. That's great
commercial artist, singing ditties and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (01:37:49):
I wonder if he misses radio. Probably not, Joe, can
you hear us?

Speaker 10 (01:37:53):
I can hear you?

Speaker 7 (01:37:54):
Now?

Speaker 11 (01:37:54):
What's going on? It went off again and now it's
back on.

Speaker 21 (01:37:58):
Oh good, I heard the I heard the last little
bit about the Gummy Bears and the Lion King.

Speaker 1 (01:38:04):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, very nice. Yeah? What was he? Actually?

Speaker 3 (01:38:06):
One of the questions I had to ask you was,
is you know you were this for people who do
not know you are the son of John William It's
a very famous composer. I can only assume that in
that household you were surrounded by music as a kid.
Was music your first choice as a career.

Speaker 21 (01:38:21):
Well, music was my first language. You know, both my
parents and musicians. My mother was a singer and an actor,
my father obviously a composer, my brother. I'm the youngest
of three kids, so when I was born, everybody was
already sort of doing music. You know, my two year
old brother, my four year old sister, and both parents.

(01:38:43):
So I think I learned how to hear music and
understand it before I could speak. So I felt like,
for the most part, I didn't have much of a
choice that that was going to be the way that
it went. And I was surrounded by radio My mother's
parents were radio actors, so I was surrounded by those
kinds of people in you know, sixties Hollywood and stuff

(01:39:05):
in those days, and so I think that was sort
of inevitable that I was going to go there.

Speaker 11 (01:39:09):
For a minute, when I got out of high school,
I wanted to fly.

Speaker 21 (01:39:12):
Jets in the military, so I actually started to work
started to work towards that. But then I got a
few commercials and saw what you can get paid for
doing them, and I decided I'm not going to go
on the military.

Speaker 1 (01:39:24):
I like that for a minute. Yeah, just had talking
to Joe Williams from Toto.

Speaker 3 (01:39:29):
Joe wanted to ask, you know, Toto's music falls into
a really interesting kind of genre. And I know that
musicians as a rule don't like their music being like
a type cast for lack of a better word, but man,
if you had to explain Toto's music, how would you
do that, because here's like it's a relatively unique sound,
And how I would explain it is this like if
I tried to explain Peter Gabriel's music to somebody, that

(01:39:51):
would be kind of difficult because it's kind of world music.
How would you explain Toto's music to somebody who's never
heard it?

Speaker 21 (01:39:57):
Well, I think you know, you know, once Africa, the
song Africa came on the scene, and actually Total four
that album that had Rosanna and Africa on it, and
then if you look back to their first album up
til that point and beyond, the band really became kind
of a world music band.

Speaker 11 (01:40:14):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 21 (01:40:14):
That's that's that's a really good moniker for it. The
only other way I would put it is that we're
all over the place, because I mean it's there's jazz stuff,
there's rock stuff, there's funk stuff, there's you know, bluesy stuff.
It's it's it's a little bit all over place, which
makes sense because the band was designed around studio musicians
who played on various artists music and in all of

(01:40:39):
those styles, so there was you know, none of the guys.
David Page, the sort of main writer piano player Jeff Piccaro,
that those are the two real founding members of the band.

Speaker 11 (01:40:49):
They played on so many.

Speaker 21 (01:40:50):
Artists records, you know, covering so many different styles that
I don't think they could have, you know, done a
band that was just you know, pigeonholed into one type
of thing. So it's a little bit all over the place.
But world, I think is a great word to use.

Speaker 5 (01:41:09):
Say you get a question for Joe, Yeah, well, it's
like what the Wrecking Crew was in the sixth these
you know, Toto and the Picaro Brothers were like in
the seventies. But Joe, I got to see you guys
perform here in Tampa this past summer. You guys were fantastic.
I know, Christopher Cross been at work. We're also on
that bill, and I got to talk to Christopher Cross
about this, and I'm curious what's your take, because it's

(01:41:32):
there seems to be some mixed feelings with the genre
and the term of yacht rock and when that gets
associated with the music, because it's like that in classical
music or really the only two genres that had names
after the music was already no longer being produced. So
I'm wondering what's your feelings when it comes to having

(01:41:54):
some of the music of Toto be considered yacht rock.

Speaker 21 (01:41:58):
Well, you know, when it when it was first coined,
it was more of a sort of a joke than anything.
And and so for that reason, I think a lot
of people are you know, don't like the term. You know,
since then, it's become more of a thing. There's even
a whole channel devoted to it on Sirius XM radio,
and other stations do it as well.

Speaker 11 (01:42:20):
Personally, I don't.

Speaker 21 (01:42:21):
Necessarily have a huge problem with it, with the term
and and all of that, but I understand the people
that don't with regards to Toto. You know, the feeling
I guess among you know, most especially the original band members,
is that the music was always just so much more
than just one particular thing or vibe, although the biggest

(01:42:44):
hits that are out there from the band could fall
into that sort of category. I personally don't have a
big problem with it. Obviously, Christopher Cross has embraced it.
A few other people have embraced it. There are some
others that that bothers, But you know, it's it's becoming
a thing, So what are you gonna do?

Speaker 11 (01:43:04):
I can't beat and enjoying them.

Speaker 3 (01:43:06):
What you're gonna do is you're gonna play those shows
that like you're yacht rock music and you go to
cash that check because.

Speaker 5 (01:43:12):
When people are showing up in Captain's hat. Yeah, I
don't think Donald Fagan is a pretty big fan. I
don't know if you've seen that yacht Rock documentary and
Christopher Cross's daughter was a producer on that, but I
thought that was a fantastic way to encapsulate kind of
the whole movement and where it is. And I think, yeah,
it did start as a joke, but I think it's
become more than that.

Speaker 1 (01:43:31):
Yeah, talking to Joseph Williams, Well go ahead, I'm sorry, Joe.

Speaker 21 (01:43:34):
I was just gonna say that if you if you,
if you think of you know, Michael McDonald, Christopher Cross,
a lot of these are Steely Dan, all these artists
you know as being you know, in that yach yacht
rock uh genre, then you have to include Total simply
because of the fact that the Total guys played on
all those Guys records.

Speaker 1 (01:43:53):
Yeah, so if.

Speaker 21 (01:43:54):
You if you watch that that little movie on on
yacht Rock, you know they do a little graph with
Toto in the center, you know, branching out onto all
these other artists and stuff. So for that reason, I suppose,
you know, you have to include our band into that,
but I think that the especially the writers of all
the songs would argue that there's just much more than

(01:44:16):
just that.

Speaker 4 (01:44:16):
Yeah, that was probably the most shocking thing to learn
after walking that watching that documentary, Joe was seeing just
how much influence Toto had in so many different bands
that you know, we're chart toppers.

Speaker 1 (01:44:31):
It was it was amazing.

Speaker 4 (01:44:32):
You guys had your fingers just about in every major
piece of music from the seventies, eighties and on mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (01:44:38):
That's right. So take that checking cash it, yeah, to
take that. So what would be.

Speaker 4 (01:44:44):
Your passion project that maybe you haven't been able to
work on. You said that music was your first language.
Is there any other languages that, through your career have
kind of bubbled to the surface that you'd like to
maybe spend some more time on.

Speaker 21 (01:44:57):
Well, I've always dreamt of doing voices for cartoons, as
I grew up a massive mel Blank fan. Yeah, and
you know, so that that's something that I've dreamt of
doing and actually have, you know, have a few little
irons in the fire trying to pursue some things like
that because we're not on the road all the time. Yeah, yeah,
you know, we're home a lot. I've got a beautiful

(01:45:18):
little set up here.

Speaker 11 (01:45:19):
You know, at home.

Speaker 21 (01:45:20):
I mean, these days, a lot of people do their
voiceovers in their own studios and stuff and send the
files in, so you know that that is.

Speaker 11 (01:45:29):
I mean, who knows.

Speaker 21 (01:45:30):
But yeah, my first love is touring and playing live
for people. But I would love to dip my toe
in those waters.

Speaker 1 (01:45:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:45:37):
And you, I mean, you've done a lot of stuff,
I mean, from commercials everything. You even write film scores.
I wanted to ask, you know, is writing songs for
films way different than writing songs for just like a band,
for something you were inspired by in your personal life.

Speaker 21 (01:45:50):
Not really, I mean, the only difference would be that
if you were, you know, say, commissioned by a particular
project to write a song. You know, in other words,
if you're watching if it's a movie about fires and
the first responders, and they want a song that reflects,
you know, that sort of theme, then it's a little

(01:46:10):
bit more specific, and it's actually closer to writing a
score than it is to just write a song for
your album, which can be about anything, right, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:46:18):
But ultimately no, it's ultimately it's the.

Speaker 1 (01:46:20):
Same process is the same, interesting, Joe.

Speaker 5 (01:46:23):
A lot of people, you know, musicians, have a different
take on touring and what it's like being on the
road and what that can take out of you. How's
it different for you from when you started, whether it
was touring with the band in the eighties too, at
this point in your life, is it something you look
forward to, something you just the necessary evil for the job,

(01:46:44):
or what's your take on it now at this point.

Speaker 21 (01:46:48):
Well, I love it more now, I think than I
did when I was younger, And I think it's big
just having aged and grown into a little bit more
of a feeling responsible to take care of myself well
and to perform at one hundred percent at each of
the gigs, and to do everything necessary not to get

(01:47:08):
sick out on the road, whereas in the old days
you just don't think as much like that. You feel
a little bit more bulletproof, and as a result, you
get sick more often, or you have problems here and there. Yeah,
so I think I love it more now than I
did in the old days. Listen it was great back then.
It was it was It really was a completely different
kind of thing, a different feeling. Now now I really

(01:47:31):
look forward to going out there. We do all of
the prepping, the proper preparations so that we can give
one hundred and ten percent every single night, everybody in
the band, especially the singers, because that's ultimately, you know,
that's the thing that gets the most wear and tear
when you're out there.

Speaker 3 (01:47:48):
So you know, as you look through music and the
history of it, you know, there's always been a really
special relationship between the singer and a guitar player for
the bands that really did well, whether it be Van Halen,
David Lee Roth, whether it be Joe Perry and Steve Tyler,
Page and Plant the whole name. Do you have that
kind of relationship with Steve, do you, guys? I mean,
is that like it for you guys? Or are you

(01:48:08):
because you're such studio musicians, if you've done it so long,
are you all just Islands playing the songs?

Speaker 11 (01:48:15):
No, Luke and I are definitely not Islands.

Speaker 21 (01:48:18):
We're connected in some strange way, and it was like
that for me when I first joined the band.

Speaker 11 (01:48:23):
I mean, I've known Luke since I was fourteen years old.

Speaker 21 (01:48:25):
Wow, and I think he was six I think he
was sixteen going on seventeen, So it was you know,
I knew him before he started his career in sessions.

Speaker 11 (01:48:35):
I knew him before there was a Toto.

Speaker 21 (01:48:38):
I've known David Page, his father and my father were colleagues,
you know, around the time I was born. So've you
known their family my whole life, and similar situation with
the Piccaros. Joe Picaro, the boy's father worked with my
dad on some projects before before there was a Toto,

(01:48:58):
so I knew they all. Or Luke and I seem
to be the closest back when I first joined the band,
and it just has remained that way all these years.

Speaker 11 (01:49:06):
I've kept in contact with him, and he always.

Speaker 21 (01:49:08):
Thought about having me come back, you know, as we
did in twenty ten, and we're still just as close.

Speaker 11 (01:49:15):
I mean we I was up there a couple.

Speaker 21 (01:49:17):
Of days ago at his pat and we hang out
with each other and spend time with each other, talk
about stuff and all of our personal life stuff. He's
a friend, He's a great friend, and it goes on
when we're out there on the road as well.

Speaker 3 (01:49:32):
Yeah, it's awesome because you know, the funny thing is
you see interviews with Steve and you're like, man, this
guy seems like a really cool hang with a lot
of really good stories, which I'm sure you're already privy to,
but he just seems like a good dude.

Speaker 1 (01:49:43):
So I wondered if you guys had that relationship. That's awesome.

Speaker 11 (01:49:47):
We do, and he is the greatest dude. He's got
the biggest heart in.

Speaker 21 (01:49:50):
The world, and he's a tough, tough guy, tough leader,
but you know, knows how to get things done. And
in the end he really really is as softy and
he's got one of the greatest sense of humors of
anybody I've ever known, So we keep each other laughing.

Speaker 1 (01:50:05):
Yeah, his interviews are very fun to watch.

Speaker 3 (01:50:07):
If you have a chance at their YouTube from Steve
Lucather interview is going to do it is just a
great role. It just seems like a cool hang. But Joe, look,
I want you guys have so much fun. Hard Rock

in nineteen sixty English Academy Award winning actress known for
her gender bending look and shocking blonde hair.

Speaker 1 (01:54:48):
Swinton.

Speaker 3 (01:54:49):
That's exactly it. She's a Nardian witch and she needs
to talk to you about Kevin. Yeah, yeah, Tilda Swinton
on this day. That's right. Here are three fun facts
about Tilda and one lie. You should burn after reading
another unbelievable movie she was in. When you look at
this chick's IMDb, it's unreal.

Speaker 1 (01:55:07):
I love seeing it.

Speaker 4 (01:55:08):
Like in Constantine, it is a banger after banger after banger.

Speaker 1 (01:55:13):
She's been in so many good movies.

Speaker 3 (01:55:15):
All right, but we're talking about Tilda Swinton, Which one
of these is untrue?

Speaker 1 (01:55:18):
Number one.

Speaker 3 (01:55:19):
Although born in London, she identifies as Scottish, where her
family history goes back one thousand years.

Speaker 1 (01:55:25):
Whoa number two?

Speaker 3 (01:55:26):
Tilda attended the West Heath Boarding School with a classmate
and friend, Lady Diana Spencer oh my gosh aka Princess Diana.

Speaker 1 (01:55:35):
Number three.

Speaker 3 (01:55:36):
Before moving toward acting, she taught ballet at the prestigious
Royal Ballet.

Speaker 1 (01:55:40):
School in London. She's got a body for.

Speaker 3 (01:55:42):
It or lastly, for at least two years while living
in London, she supported herself financially by betting on horses
and horse racing. Which of those is not true? Well,
I don't know, man, and man, let's go with number three.

Speaker 1 (01:55:57):
That's the one money. You're a winner. I knew one.
Instead picked the guy. I knew it. I knew it.

Speaker 5 (01:56:04):
Sorry, ladies, hang on, I'm.

Speaker 3 (01:56:06):
Good job winner. Yeah, the old blind number three. Picked
At one time in a month, I put it in
number three. We have four ladies on the line.

Speaker 1 (01:56:14):
I feel bad. It's horrible, horrible, horrible. All right, here's
a few. Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 3 (01:56:22):
So, although born in London, she does identify as Scottish,
where her family history goes back over one thousand years
till did attend the West Heath Boarding School with classmates
and friend Lady Diana Spencer. In other words, she went
to school like when she was eleven, twelve and thirteen
and her classmate was the was the future Princess of England.

Speaker 1 (01:56:41):
Wow, she did not teach ballet.

Speaker 3 (01:56:44):
Actually she just went straight into this and she really
didn't even want to act.

Speaker 1 (01:56:48):
It just kind of happened to her.

Speaker 3 (01:56:49):
But for the last two years living in London, she
did support herself by gambling on horse racing, which I
found amazing. So and how you could pick that instead
of the one that the she picked.

Speaker 5 (01:57:00):
Never no connection with ballet, right, No, but Dad, you
kind of you were connected to that because she looked
like she had the body for it. Yeah, that makes
that Well, it would have been a good one if
he didn't take it right away.

Speaker 3 (01:57:11):
Well, a couple other things you want you may not
know before we get to the top of the hour.
Hear ross she saved her her brother's life when she
was just a young girl. He was choking on some ribbon.
But I'm gonna get back to that story in a second,
because what she said during an interview kind of blows
that out of the water and it's bananas. When she
and husband John Byrne divorced, they continued to live together

(01:57:35):
even when her boyfriend moved in what She and her
boyfriend lived in a house with her ex husband and
they were all good friends and hung out all the time.

Speaker 5 (01:57:45):
So they did had couples.

Speaker 3 (01:57:47):
Her full name is Catherine Matilda Swinton. She speaks four
language fluently, English, Spanish, French, and I believe German.

Speaker 1 (01:57:58):
She's very good friends with Amy Schumer.

Speaker 3 (01:58:01):
Oh wow, the comedian because she was in the movie
train Wreck as that boss, as the fashion the fashion
lady because she wore that wig, and she kind of
looked like Cindy Crawford a little bit, but it was
Tilda Swepton. And then lastly, she talked openly in an interview, Okay,
you're ready, the reason she was able to save her
brother's life. He was choking on some ribbon that was

(01:58:22):
hanging over his crib. She went into the room to
kill him. She actually admitted that during an interview that
when she was young, she was going into the room
that day that she saved his life to kill him,
and she admitted it like it's a thing like when
you text, when you google her, you can see in

(01:58:44):
an interview you said I was going into the room
to kill my little brother, and it turned out he
was choking on some ribbon, so I pulled the ribbon
out of his throat and saved his life.

Speaker 1 (01:58:50):
Oh there's a twist. How crazy is that?

Speaker 18 (01:58:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:58:55):
But parents never let her baby sit never ever?

Speaker 7 (01:58:58):
All right?

Speaker 5 (01:59:00):
How long she held on to that until she revealed right?

Speaker 3 (01:59:04):
Crazy though, And when you look at her filmography, it
is beyond unbelievable adaptation into like fifty other movies that
like all the Wes Anderson movies, Grand Budapest. Oh yeah,
I mean just so many great films.

Speaker 5 (01:59:19):
There's a new one on HBO, the most recent one.

Speaker 3 (01:59:22):
I like the Wes Anderson stuff. Yeah, it's so good,
so quirky. Sure, all right, just thain a little break.
We will come back and find out what's happening with
good Sauce tonight. With Everyboddy Ross paget.

Speaker 23 (01:59:34):
They would clone my dog because I got her when
she was the nine well she was nine.

Speaker 1 (01:59:38):
She was a puppy mill dog.

Speaker 23 (01:59:39):
So she was the mommy that pumped out puppies and
she was beaten and stuff like that, and deaf now,
but she would act totally different if I were to
raise her from puppy. And that's what I would do
to experience that, because I've share it now. She's deaf
and totally calm and doesn't park. But I would clone
her just to see how she would turn out if

(02:00:01):
I raised her.

Speaker 11 (02:00:02):
That's what I would do.

Speaker 3 (02:00:05):
All right, that's a theory. You're six o'clock. Keyword is
credit cre D. I go to real radio dot if
EM and send that away for your chance at one
thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (02:00:17):
Credit. Guys, that's the word. You get that money.

Speaker 3 (02:00:19):
He had a winter today at three, at winter yesterday
at six, we are on fire.

Speaker 1 (02:00:23):
Let's go go get that cash. I'm Jim. There's deb
hell take us here as well.

Speaker 3 (02:00:28):
Every Wednesday around this time, a guy that we've met
on the street about three years ago and maintained a
relationship because we all donate money to his better cause.
He occasionally drops by on Tuesdays and Thursdays to give
us his whim. He looks very stressed out today. Actually,

(02:00:50):
that's the first thing you said.

Speaker 1 (02:00:51):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (02:00:51):
Fresh fresh out the shower or wherever you guys, give
it up.

Speaker 1 (02:00:55):
Good allow for mister ross Paget.

Speaker 7 (02:01:00):
Yeah, it's always weird to start your own like beginning
to like I'm celebrating my entrance.

Speaker 3 (02:01:06):
Oh yeah, what's up, dude, that you're doing?

Speaker 7 (02:01:11):
Man, tonight's episode is special, and you are correct. I
am filled with anxiety, why, dude, Because I'm a new
dad and every day is a new challenge and I
don't know where up is.

Speaker 1 (02:01:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:01:24):
Yeah, Bam just dropped by with his baby and how
that go.

Speaker 1 (02:01:29):
She's beautiful.

Speaker 3 (02:01:30):
I mean she was taking a dump while we were
talking to her, so you know she was having a
great time.

Speaker 10 (02:01:35):
Yeah, it's just hard, dude.

Speaker 7 (02:01:36):
Every day is essentially just I feel like I'm going
through the Fellowship of the Ring for all my fellow nerds.

Speaker 10 (02:01:43):
Dude, everything is a journey.

Speaker 7 (02:01:45):
Every little step has a a teaching, lesson, learning event
attached to it, and it can be very tiring.

Speaker 4 (02:01:52):
Has it Has it changed now that he's walking?

Speaker 7 (02:02:00):
And I'll throw this out here, Actually people say like, oh,
it's a complete game changer when they start walk, walking
and talking. No, they start walking and then two weeks
later that's when the game has changed. Oh yeah, yeah,
when they start combining feet with hands and realizing that
they can walk and grab.

Speaker 3 (02:02:22):
Now they can reach the stuff. Have you have you
debabied your house or baby proofed your house with the
cabinet locks and the little plastic plugs that go into
the electrical sockets.

Speaker 7 (02:02:33):
I tried my best to debaby in this house, but
my wife will not let him sleep outside.

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

Speaker 10 (02:02:43):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:02:45):
We put all the outlets, we put all the condoms
inside of the outlets.

Speaker 10 (02:02:48):
Everything's safe. We're practicing safe homes.

Speaker 1 (02:02:51):
Yeah, you do. Won't catch anything for sure?

Speaker 20 (02:02:54):
No, absolutely not.

Speaker 7 (02:02:55):
And I'll keep this actually topic going because tonight's episode
due to scheduling conflicts that was my own and double
booking myself.

Speaker 10 (02:03:04):
I didn't record an episode with the boys.

Speaker 1 (02:03:07):
Oh yeah, you didn't.

Speaker 10 (02:03:09):
I did not.

Speaker 7 (02:03:10):
I recorded an episode with Wifey, which is always very
spicy and always filled with consequences.

Speaker 5 (02:03:17):
Oh, he said he had anxiety about it.

Speaker 3 (02:03:21):
So what happened that would cause anxiety? Did you say
something dumb?

Speaker 9 (02:03:25):
No?

Speaker 7 (02:03:26):
No, it's you know, to quote Tom from Tom and Dan,
and I really find this to be true. After a
while being in front of these after a while being
in front of these microphones, you kind of can't help,
but be yourself. Right At first, you might do the
small talk and do the you got the finger guns,
and you have the stories that you've told a whole bunch.

(02:03:47):
But then all of a sudden you show up on
a podcast or a radio program and you're a couple
of years in and the only gear is authenticity, and
you want to tell the truth because that's what makes
at least in my opinion, and audio programming even that
much more fun. True, and that's what happens tonight at

(02:04:07):
eight o'clock on your radio.

Speaker 16 (02:04:09):
So so.

Speaker 3 (02:04:11):
Let me ask when you did you you when you
invited her to do the podcast?

Speaker 1 (02:04:15):
Was she automatic? Yes?

Speaker 3 (02:04:16):
Because like my wife, I can't get her on a
mic and when I when she calls the show, almost
every time she does, like she called to make fun
of me about something. She goes, I hate doing that,
I hate doing it. I want to be on the
air or anything like that. Did your wife have that
or did she come in with some topics ready to
go in blazing?

Speaker 7 (02:04:34):
You know, I met my wife in entertainment and she
is still in entertainment. She's always down to talk in
front of that microphone and having a blast, and also
loves embarrassing me, which is a huge part of tonight's episode.

Speaker 10 (02:04:49):
Did you guys see my Halloween costume?

Speaker 1 (02:04:51):
Dude? You looked awesome?

Speaker 3 (02:04:53):
Yeah, you looked and she looked amazing too, Like the
whole family looked incredible.

Speaker 7 (02:04:59):
So for the listeners who don't know, my wife loves Halloween,
and so do I.

Speaker 10 (02:05:03):
She just loves it a lot more and puts a
lot more effort.

Speaker 7 (02:05:06):
Into the costumes, which means I have to wear whatever
she puts together. And this year was a longtime dream
of hers, especially if she ever had a baby boy
to be Labyrinth, the David Bowie film.

Speaker 3 (02:05:22):
And you nailed it, even with the makeup. I gotta
tell you, buddy, you really you could have stunt doubled that. Dude,
I mean, you look a lot like that character.

Speaker 7 (02:05:31):
Now I've got to tell you how much would you
guys have done that? Because that was a huge kind
of question on tonight's episode because I take a lot
of pride and being the goofy dad, the wacky husband
that will put on tights and look like you just
bought ice cream because here comes some moose tracks walking
up to the bar.

Speaker 1 (02:05:51):
Got that man toe?

Speaker 10 (02:05:54):
Oh dude, it was bad. Brother. Look, just talking about
it makes the station break up.

Speaker 1 (02:06:01):
It was Yeah, yeah, we had it.

Speaker 3 (02:06:03):
We have it up right now, jimp over live dot com. Yeah, dude,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:06:06):
Are and I think you're showcasing a little bit? Did
you stuff?

Speaker 7 (02:06:10):
I stuffed, dude, And that's actually a huge part of
tonight's episode. I went out in public, I stuffed my
pants and I went viral because of it. That's a sock,
but I folded it wrong and it just started squirming
down my leg the entire night.

Speaker 3 (02:06:27):
So you had some Robert plant happening there. That is
a hog your sporting, I'm.

Speaker 10 (02:06:33):
Here to tell you, Jen, it's all lies. That's all
through of the loom.

Speaker 1 (02:06:38):
Sock, dude? Is your your son is sitting on it
like a tree limb.

Speaker 4 (02:06:41):
I like the way you're dancing it.

Speaker 10 (02:06:44):
Yeah you can. What's so bad? Dude? So I walk
into a bar.

Speaker 7 (02:06:50):
First of all, this is let me free advice for
all the marriage and people in couples. Sometimes having plans
is the worst plan.

Speaker 3 (02:07:01):
Yeah, yeah, way can we agree with that? My Wifely's
at one hundred percent. She hates the fact that I
planned stuff. She likes just stuff happening.

Speaker 7 (02:07:08):
So I'm the anti planner. My wife is the pro planner.
I think living in the moment and enjoying life, not
actually having a schedule for every part of the day,
hows you get to be a human and you get
to live in the moment. I think it's easier to
do that. And tonight, that night, on Halloween, we have
these amazing costumes, and I'm proud to say we had

(02:07:29):
no plans.

Speaker 1 (02:07:32):
So you just went out trick or treating in these costumes.

Speaker 10 (02:07:36):
We went.

Speaker 7 (02:07:36):
We got into the car and we asked each other,
where do.

Speaker 10 (02:07:39):
You want to go? Which was so unbelievably free. Where
did you we went?

Speaker 7 (02:07:47):
We went to our local brewery, one of my favorite breweries.
They have some of my favorite beer in Orlando, Stidewards Brewing.
I went there because I told her, I said, everybody
kind of knows us there already. We're gonna see some
familiar faces. And I really want your hard work and
all of this hallowing effort to finally be celebrated, because
there's nothing worse than putting hours into a costume, going

(02:08:11):
out to a house party and there's ten people there.

Speaker 1 (02:08:13):
Yeah, yeah, I agree with that one hundred percent. Dude.
I cannot get over the ball. I can't get over
the bulge.

Speaker 10 (02:08:18):
Yeah it's bad.

Speaker 1 (02:08:19):
It's very pronounced.

Speaker 10 (02:08:21):
Buddy, yeah it is, and dude.

Speaker 7 (02:08:24):
A couple times throughout the entire time, out sidewards, this
sock would have squirmed down by my knee and it
looks like it just like I'm either swollen, I got
a little baby brother from day one, still attached or
like sumped in. It was very tumor esque every time
I went back up to the bar.

Speaker 1 (02:08:46):
But we won.

Speaker 7 (02:08:47):
Long story short, I'll burn one little story. On tonight's episode,
we won the costume contest.

Speaker 1 (02:08:53):
That's awesome, Yay.

Speaker 7 (02:08:56):
It was our first time ever entering into a costume contest,
which is insane to say out loud, because my wife
just goes so hard on Halloween.

Speaker 10 (02:09:05):
She loves the photos, she loves the videos. And speaking
of video, I.

Speaker 7 (02:09:09):
Thought the costume was so good and so funny, and
I couldn't believe how uncomfortable I was every year she
gives me an alcohol needing costume.

Speaker 1 (02:09:20):
Did you get a lot of comments from the people
in the bar?

Speaker 10 (02:09:23):
Everyone? Yeah, every single person.

Speaker 3 (02:09:25):
Well, if they was if they knew the character, if
they knew the character, they have to have been amazed,
because I mean, I'm telling you you look just like it.
Like if Jack Ward a split screen the actual character
from that movie, and you standing in the still shot,
it would look exactly the same.

Speaker 1 (02:09:38):
It's amazing how close it is. That wig is perfect.

Speaker 7 (02:09:42):
So I'm trying my absolute best on this episode. And
also right now two things. Make sure to check out
good Sauce with Ross and Joel. I have no Joel
this week, but I do have the love of my life,
and we talk heavily about parenting as well in the
second half. Another thing I should tell you about this episode.
We start the episode sober, we talk differently by the

(02:10:04):
end of tonight's show.

Speaker 1 (02:10:07):
Yea, yeah, I wonder why.

Speaker 10 (02:10:09):
So you know that it's getting truthful.

Speaker 7 (02:10:12):
And third of all, a small psa for all the
couples out there go all out on Halloween.

Speaker 10 (02:10:18):
Does it suck? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:10:19):
It does.

Speaker 7 (02:10:20):
It's ridiculous spending eighty one hundred, one hundred and fifty
dollars on a costume. I don't even know how much
this cost. I just know that seeing my wife enjoy
her family, seeing feeling myself enjoy my family in a
themed costume, not having any plans I just want to
remind especially the men out there, it's okay to be

(02:10:43):
goofy and a little wacky on Halloween. And I promise
you it's worth it, because that's a forever memory. It
was the best Halloween of my life. Not even close.

Speaker 3 (02:10:51):
Yeah, I'm gonna tell you, dude. He's playing clips from
the movie right now and it is startling how close
you are to that. And when I said earlier you
could stunt double for this cat, there's no question you could.

Speaker 1 (02:11:01):
And of course there's a Livia there. That's great.

Speaker 7 (02:11:04):
I'll point out that my wife's vest when she was
playing Sarah the Babysitter and the movie Labyrinth scream accurate.

Speaker 10 (02:11:13):
Really right down to the stitch.

Speaker 7 (02:11:16):
Every single branch that's on the vest go back looking forth.

Speaker 10 (02:11:20):
I believe it's the same amount of branches.

Speaker 1 (02:11:22):
Wow, man, that's pretty cool. Buddy.

Speaker 3 (02:11:24):
You guys did a good job. Congrats you went some
good coin doing the contest.

Speaker 7 (02:11:28):
You know what, I looked at the back of the
gift card just yesterday and it has no number on
It could have been a blank.

Speaker 10 (02:11:34):
We'll find out.

Speaker 7 (02:11:37):
Episode anyone that good sauce.

Speaker 10 (02:11:39):
It's hyper personal. If you want a really.

Speaker 7 (02:11:41):
Big insight and a big look into my marriage and
what I consider love and what my family is striving
to be.

Speaker 10 (02:11:48):
Tonight's episode is exactly that. Well, enjoy it.

Speaker 3 (02:11:52):
They good, and we'll listen tonight, and of course we'll
see you on Friday here on the program, and have
a good evening, buddy, We'll see you soon. I will
go on Ross Pade. Yeah one text seven to seven

Speaker 18 (02:12:27):
Good after morning, Colbert crou All right, So, I know
Ross had talked about his Halloween costume a week or
two ago, but actually seeing those posts on Instagram this
last week.

Speaker 8 (02:12:40):
It was unreal.

Speaker 18 (02:12:41):
It looked so good and Miles is just the damn
cutest thing ever.

Speaker 10 (02:12:47):
I mean, he's already so big and fairly over a
year old. I can't believe it.

Speaker 19 (02:12:51):
But yeah, looking forward to see what you guys do
for next year.

Speaker 10 (02:12:53):
Thigs you out.

Speaker 14 (02:12:55):
I will tell you that Ross is right that this
year I got some stupid, you know, fake things. That
said a special agent for the X File for Agent
Molder and Agent Scully, and my wife's favorite show of
all time is The X Files. I've kind of seen
it here and there. We went as Agent Molder and
Agent Scully. Literally all I had to do was put

(02:13:16):
on a suit and hold a flashlight.

Speaker 1 (02:13:18):
My wife could not have been happier.

Speaker 10 (02:13:20):
She bought a red wig.

Speaker 14 (02:13:21):
We went down to a bar and went home, and
it was the best night I've heard.

Speaker 3 (02:13:26):
My wife and I have not dressed up for Halloween.
I think since a monster event that was down at
Church Street Station.

Speaker 1 (02:13:34):
I remember Hyenne Saloon was still open.

Speaker 3 (02:13:36):
We did like a monster ween thing, yeah down there,
and my wife and I dressed up like Ed Bundy
and Peg Mundy.

Speaker 1 (02:13:41):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (02:13:42):
That's the year where when Russ wore the Adam West Batman.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, get his own sock.

Speaker 3 (02:13:53):
The superhero Cossus. We're not forgiving. They're crazy about a
sock step. All right, Welcome the Jim Colbert Show. Credit
is your six o'clock He word that's c R E
D I T.

Speaker 1 (02:14:04):
You know what to do.

Speaker 3 (02:14:05):
Go to Real Radio dot if FIM and send that.
I'll for your chance in a thousand bucks. Jim deb
is here, so is Jackson.

Speaker 5 (02:14:11):
And by the way, on Monday, as some listeners can
attest to, you got to hear Ross's sock origin story.

Speaker 1 (02:14:19):
Oh really, yeah?

Speaker 5 (02:14:20):
That that was on Monday for the Best Show. It
was part of the Betsuff and I was eating dinner
when it came on with my family and had to
turn it off.

Speaker 3 (02:14:29):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's definitely you're not You're not having
that with spaghetti. You definitely don't want to do that. Yeah,
you guys remember when you were younger, what pizza did
you guys eat? Mostly geez no, I mean what brand? Uh, well,
it would be Martyrs. It's the place uncle friends independent

(02:14:53):
in Jersey. You couldn't eat a chain pizza, right because
it was like sacrilege.

Speaker 5 (02:14:57):
Yes you could. It was there. I remember when they
opened the Dominoes and we hated it.

Speaker 16 (02:15:01):
Ye.

Speaker 1 (02:15:02):
Yeah, how about you.

Speaker 4 (02:15:04):
I was gonna say Pizza Hut. But there's another pizza
place we used to go to a lot and I
can't remember the name of it.

Speaker 3 (02:15:10):
Yeah, for me, it was Pizza Hut. That was like
the biggest deal because it was like one of the
only places where you could go in and eat a pizza,
right Yeah, most other places you ordered now, I mean,
Pizza Hut's the only place, like I had free standing places.
You go in, you get a booth, you order a pie.
They had the sit down video games, they had the
red cups, they had pepsi And I love Pizza Hut

(02:15:31):
right now. I've ordered Pizza Hut pizza in the last
like five years. And you know, I mean, it's not
the same as it was when we were younger, for sure,
because it's just different, is it? Though I think it is.
I mean for me it is, or maybe could it
be your tastes have changed.

Speaker 1 (02:15:47):
It could have been.

Speaker 3 (02:15:47):
But what I'm saying is it looked like the actual
pizza itself was just kind of a different product. And
again that could be me just not remembering it properly.
But I don't remember the pizza tasting like that as
a kid, and that was a big deal. Like going
to Pizza Hut as a kid, that was like we
might as well been going to Christner's. It was the
same thing, man for us, like going to get a
burger or pizza. We never went to like restaurants, restaurants

(02:16:10):
like to get a steak or anything like that never happened.
We would only go to like these casual sit down
places or Burger King, or we would go to McDonald's
and eat.

Speaker 1 (02:16:19):
That was a big, big deal.

Speaker 3 (02:16:20):
And the reason I bring this up is Young Brands
is trying to sell Pizza Hut off woo. How many
stores do you believe they have in over one hundred countries.
I will guess twelve hundred in all the countries.

Speaker 4 (02:16:35):
Yeah, right, twenty five hundred.

Speaker 3 (02:16:37):
Twenty five thousand. Actually it's twenty thousand stores in one
hundred countries, and it says their international sales were up
to percent in the first nine months. China has its
second largest market outside the US. It's China for Pizza Hut,
but it nearly gets half of its sales from the US,
where it has about sixty five hundred stores, and in

(02:16:58):
the US sales have fallen seven percent. But one of
the reason I'm bringing this up is what's replacing it?

Speaker 1 (02:17:06):
Like? Who I mean?

Speaker 3 (02:17:07):
I thought that like all the Pizza Huts and Little
Caesars and Dominoes were all on about the same level.
What makes Pizza Hut or any any different than Like,
why would their sales I mean they have the biggest
brand name of all those brands. Right, are the oldest
brand names Dominos, Papa John's.

Speaker 1 (02:17:23):
How long have be?

Speaker 3 (02:17:23):
Pizza Hut's been around for eons right, I mean they
were way before any of those.

Speaker 1 (02:17:27):
I'm eating it in the early seventies.

Speaker 5 (02:17:28):
I see more the more different options for frozen pizza
now and also just pizza places. I don't know, are
there more independent pizza places? Yeah, there used to be.
Then you have some of these chains like uh, what's someone?
Is it not Murphy's or where Marcos? Yeah, like chains

(02:17:52):
like that.

Speaker 3 (02:17:52):
Where it's a CC's where it's like a buffet where
they put a bunch of pizzas out and you just
go and get whatever you want.

Speaker 1 (02:17:57):
You don't have to order just one.

Speaker 3 (02:17:58):
You could get a slice of ham and pine apple,
slice of cheese, and a sf of a slice of
meat lovers if you want.

Speaker 6 (02:18:03):
Huh.

Speaker 5 (02:18:04):
I don't hate frozen pizza. I mean I like always
having at least one in my freezer. Really, that's a
weekend lunch.

Speaker 3 (02:18:11):
That's interesting. I don't know that I have a freezer
staple right now. It's just like frozen meat. I don't
have a we used to get these Indian microwaveable like
dishes that you can get at Public's. I forget the
name of the company, but you would know them immediately.
They're delicious.

Speaker 1 (02:18:26):
Yeah, by the way, gets brand A is awesome.

Speaker 3 (02:18:28):
They are delicious. We would do that. But I haven't
had like a frozen pizza in a while. My son
is like a master of frozen pizzas. If you ever
wanted to know what the best is, ask my boy.
He eats like five a week.

Speaker 1 (02:18:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:18:41):
They they are looking to sell that Pizza Hut. Yeah,
because the sales have dropped, and I mean, I don't
get it. Maybe the Yeah, they've been around for sixty
seven years, Pizza Hut opening fifty eight Wow.

Speaker 4 (02:18:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (02:18:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:18:55):
Denny's is also going through it. Denny's. Yeah, really wonder why.

Speaker 4 (02:18:59):
I saw the report yesterday about Pizza Hut trying to
be sold off in Denny's sales have fallen off as well,
and some now they're trying to figure out what to
do with these two iconic brands.

Speaker 3 (02:19:08):
I would think that man that places like that, like
pizza is one of those things where well, pizza is
expensive when you order it out that like if you
can get like a discount pile, like you go to
Costco or Sam's and they had those gigantic pies, or
Whole Foods has those. I know that all he has
them as well, where you can go in there and
it's a giant, like sixteen or twenty inch pie and
you can throw it in for like, you know, eleven dollars,

(02:19:30):
or you buy it at a pizza place and you're
looking at like eighteen dollars twenty bucks. But when Scott
during his call today, Scott Maxwell was talking about a
theme park restaurant who offered a large pizza and.

Speaker 5 (02:19:45):
The price he gave was thirty eight dollars.

Speaker 1 (02:19:47):
Thirty eight bucks. Yeah, thirty eight to forty two yeah, yeah,
and you have to get a pizza, but thirty eight
dollars that's a.

Speaker 3 (02:19:54):
Loaded deep dish like that. You have to get into that,
like a loaded giant deep dish to get forty two
bucks out in the real world, not theme park world.
But there's so many great little chains. I don't know
that maybe that's what it is. It's just like there's
so many great little mom and pop pizza places anymore
that maybe the quality finally caught up with them that
you know, you just can't serve Doodo crust and Dodo

(02:20:16):
pizza anymore. People are just like, you know, I have
an option. Now, I'll go to this mom and pop shop.
I'll pay two dollars more and it'll be fifty times
as good.

Speaker 5 (02:20:22):
My entire life, I've always been choosing that over the
chain stuff, and we get it here. Sometimes we have,
you know, change pizza places looking for endorsers.

Speaker 1 (02:20:32):
I just it's not me. Didn't it just happen to
the other day.

Speaker 5 (02:20:34):
It's not me.

Speaker 1 (02:20:35):
Yeah, I was like, I'm I can't do it. I
didn't it.

Speaker 5 (02:20:37):
I hit the lead on that.

Speaker 1 (02:20:38):
Literally did not even respond to it. I just don't
think I could in my right mind.

Speaker 3 (02:20:42):
And I'm not getting I don't have anything against these
companies because they provide a service that people want to buy.

Speaker 1 (02:20:46):
Yeah, it's just not my thing.

Speaker 3 (02:20:48):
And I could never endorse that and say you should
go buy this product if I myself would not buy
the product.

Speaker 5 (02:20:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:20:54):
And I mean if you're at a party and there's
a Domino's Pizza or a Little Caesars, or how.

Speaker 1 (02:20:59):
Many time I have it.

Speaker 5 (02:21:00):
Some times when they feed if they buy lunch for
the all staff.

Speaker 1 (02:21:03):
Here, right, you'll grab a slice, yes, but there ain't
no way I'm ordering it. No, what are you looking at?
What do you say eyeing me?

Speaker 10 (02:21:10):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:21:10):
No, because I agree.

Speaker 4 (02:21:12):
Okay, there's a lot of little spots that I could
name off. Oh yeah, yeah, that you know are easier
to get to, and like you said, the taste is
better for what you're paying.

Speaker 1 (02:21:20):
I gotta tell you, man, I don't know about you guys.

Speaker 3 (02:21:23):
And again, this is nothing against chain restaurants, because I
do think a number of them do quite well. Matter
of fact, they're building a Texas Roadhouse out by us
right now. We just in Texas Roadhouse just replace all
of Garden as America's number one go to.

Speaker 1 (02:21:35):
Like casual dining restaurant. Correct.

Speaker 3 (02:21:37):
But I think that maybe, like do you think Americans
are finally like kind of settling into you know, maybe
I should support small businesses. Maybe I should support the
restaurant owned by my neighbor or a buddy of my
friend rather than you know, piling money into a chain.

Speaker 1 (02:21:51):
Yeah. Do you think that's happening at all? Maybe a little.

Speaker 5 (02:21:54):
I think people are more just how am I gonna
have enough? Can we eat out? After I pay the
water bill? And the power bill and rent and insurance.
I just think people are struggling way more now, and
it's that cuts into the perks like going taking the
family out to eat.

Speaker 3 (02:22:14):
Yeah, the discussion income, right, Yeah, definitely, that is a
weird thing. When you go out for a spot. Do
you have a budget like when you let's say you're
just gonna like my wife and I usually go out
on Wednesday nights and just go hit Mountain Dora maybe
for some noodles or something like something.

Speaker 1 (02:22:26):
Simple like that.

Speaker 3 (02:22:26):
Do you have a budget in mind when you go
into a place or nurse, We're not gonna spend any
more than like fifty or sixty bucks.

Speaker 1 (02:22:32):
Do you do that at all?

Speaker 5 (02:22:33):
No?

Speaker 4 (02:22:34):
Not really.

Speaker 3 (02:22:34):
Yeah I don't do that either. But every time I
get the bill a bitch about it. Yeah, every time
I get the bill, I'm like, what, well, how isn't
that much?

Speaker 1 (02:22:44):
Guess what?

Speaker 5 (02:22:45):
I still the calculator is running in my head. I'm
looking at the menu and we're ordering. What I've grown
into is being able to keep my mouth shut about
it instead of saying, oh, yeah, that's gonna go.

Speaker 3 (02:23:00):
Do you ever direct somebody in your family not to
order something because it's too expensive.

Speaker 1 (02:23:03):
No, you won't love I do it? Well, I'm joking.

Speaker 5 (02:23:07):
I don't casually yeah, I'm like, are you made a
joke about it?

Speaker 1 (02:23:10):
Passive aggressive? No, yeah that's me yeah yeah yeah no.

Speaker 5 (02:23:13):
Or you could get this yeah, or we could.

Speaker 1 (02:23:16):
Split this, or you do this.

Speaker 3 (02:23:17):
You look at the menu and you see the thing
you know your kid's gonna want. You're like, damn, yeah,
twenty five dollars for that, and you make a big
deal about it that way, they don't order.

Speaker 1 (02:23:25):
It, or they order it just to oh no, I
just elbow them in the face. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:23:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:23:30):
Then the gloves are off, and then you order your
food and you forget that you've had two glasses of
wine and that your wife has at two cocktails, and
you get the You're like, okay, well are you the
We split a lot of meals these days. At about
you guys?

Speaker 1 (02:23:42):
You guys do that? We split?

Speaker 3 (02:23:43):
Man, I'm gonna tell you. We order an appetizer that
we like and then we split an entree and that's it.
That's how we eat anymore. I don't know that, like,
we haven't ordered a meal like that. We don't share
in a minute when we go out to a nice place.

Speaker 4 (02:23:55):
Well, the food is there's too much food.

Speaker 3 (02:23:57):
They give you so much, they really do dep It's
like the portions are crazy. Even at the nice restaurants,
portions are like out of bounds.

Speaker 5 (02:24:04):
We go out so rarely that you know that doesn't happen.
But I mean, we did a magical dining and then
that's what I.

Speaker 1 (02:24:14):
Ordered a drink.

Speaker 5 (02:24:15):
It was so expensive. I during the meal, I sent
Jim a picture of the receipt.

Speaker 1 (02:24:24):
How much was it?

Speaker 5 (02:24:25):
It was twenty four dollars old Fast, that's right.

Speaker 1 (02:24:27):
It was.

Speaker 3 (02:24:29):
Like, oh my god, whyfe and I went to a
restaurant and we walked in and we decided to get
a cocktail before we got sent or seated, however you
want to say it. And she likes espresso Martiniz with
some Bailey's in it. That's like, that's her drink. That's
a good time. It's a good ass time, right. But
when you order them at some spots, they're not seventeen dollars.
We got one at one spot here recently and it

(02:24:51):
was thirty one dollars. Yeow, wow, thirty one dollars. I
looked at her and I said, that's more than my
entree and it's a four ounce and it was more
than my entree.

Speaker 5 (02:25:02):
You know what, I can get twelve ounces of cutwater
espress nineteen cents. Deal with the year, Jack, sit on
my couch. Yeah, let's go, let's let's order repiazza.

Speaker 4 (02:25:16):
There you go. Apparently there's a new shift though, of
small restaurants are downsizing traditional entrees and introducing small.

Speaker 1 (02:25:24):
Plates or bites. Yeah. Yeah, because a lot.

Speaker 4 (02:25:27):
Of people like myself will most likely try and order
off the kids menu because it's more manageable portions size.

Speaker 3 (02:25:32):
I think when my wife goes two fast food restaurants,
she never orders anything off the regular menu.

Speaker 1 (02:25:36):
It's always a kid's meal, always.

Speaker 5 (02:25:38):
Not price aside. I cannot do appetizer, entree and dessert
and a salad and bread.

Speaker 1 (02:25:44):
Yeah, you mean just eating. You can't get it too much? Yeah,
it's just too much. Well, that's what happens with us.
Like I'll get the like for most of the.

Speaker 3 (02:25:51):
Time, I like the appetizer menu almost always much better
than the entree menu, and for that very thing, Like
we like going to eat tapus for that very reason,
because you know, if every little is like maybe eight
to ten dollars, we can order like four or five
of those, and it's plenty of food, and we get
a bunch of different flavor profiles that really make and
then we order some wine. You know, we try to
get out of the nice places like under one hundred dollars,

(02:26:11):
but if you order drinks, you're never doing that or
drinks alone or in that you know, seventy to eighty
dollars range.

Speaker 1 (02:26:16):
Yeah, that's why we.

Speaker 3 (02:26:17):
Don't do that very often. Man, it's just it's too much.
We try to do as many mom and pop shops.
We found a little mom and pop noodle shop up
there in Mount Door that we've been visiting recently because
they're just good people.

Speaker 1 (02:26:28):
You know. It's just you just feel like you're doing
something good, you know, and you are. You're supporting a
local business.

Speaker 3 (02:26:33):
Same like that Butcher's Nook place, that old deli in
downtown Mount Dora. When I went there to eat, I
blew them up on Facebook and talked about him on
the air because it was such a fantastic experience. And
it wasn't the cheapest sub I've ever had by in
a million years, but man, it was so damn good
and you could only eat half at a time, so
you actually, even though you spent like seventeen dollars on
a sub, you really get two meals out of it.

(02:26:53):
That's kind of places I like going.

Speaker 1 (02:26:55):
Yeah, they were very happy with your review.

Speaker 3 (02:26:57):
Yeah, they've been doing great, by the way, I saw
them on face book the other day making a statement like,
you know, they've been doing really well. You know, the
community has been reaching out to them and stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:27:04):
That's good.

Speaker 3 (02:27:05):
You know, Mount Door had a tough time with the
floods and stuff, and it's good to have people still
going downtown.

Speaker 4 (02:27:09):
Well, we had, you know, so many phone calls that
people like, you know, is the city still there?

Speaker 1 (02:27:15):
It was into the lake back because.

Speaker 4 (02:27:16):
Literally everyone around the country. My mom got a phone
call from someone shoes to work with from Oklahoma, Wow,
wondering are you guys okay. So when you keep beating
that message, that's when Mount Dora business is said to say, hey,
we're still open.

Speaker 3 (02:27:29):
All right, still open? Or seven ninetie.

Speaker 5 (02:27:32):
Speaking to Mount Door. They have a Veterans Day celebration
happening this Tuesday is Veterans Day, So put your flags out,
your commie bastards. But they call it a salute to service.

food connoissewer and one of those restaurants got one of them,
bang bang, something's well, there's another restaurant that ends in
house that's got the new Boom Boom sauce. But there's
something about me asking for boom boom sauce that just
don't sit ride with me anyhow. It's really good, but

out of him and send then I'll for your chance
at one thousand bucks. Had a winter today at three o'clock,
had a winter yesterday at six o'clock, so we are
ready to go give the k shawe.

Speaker 4 (02:30:34):

those later keywords less people playing.

Speaker 3 (02:30:41):
Also, we had some of the text a few minutes
ago asking for the code to be able to get
tickets to see Toto.

Speaker 1 (02:30:49):
Early.

Speaker 3 (02:30:49):
I wanted to ask you, Jackie, he was going to
see him in Knoxville. Did you see the text?

Speaker 1 (02:30:53):
I did?

Speaker 5 (02:30:54):
I did, respond, Yeah, if so, Toto's coming here to
the artist pre code is Dogs of Oz and dogs
with dog Z Ofoz Dogs of Oz, and that is
the code and that's good until tomorrow, I think tomorrow morning.

(02:31:14):
Then it goes on sale to the general public Friday
at ten am at Ticketmaster and.

Speaker 3 (02:31:19):
For people here in Orlando, I would think that Toto
is probably gonna sell that out pretty quickly. It's only
about thirty five hundred seats. The band has seen a
gigantic resurgence in popularity, and of course, like Jack said,
with the yacht Rock movie that's out on Netflix, I
mean more interest ever into that music right now. So
if you want to grab your tickets, use that code
then Friday morning, if you have to wait, you better

(02:31:39):
get in.

Speaker 1 (02:31:40):
There early because I think they're gonna sell a pretty quick.

I did that at ten I saw I saw them
at mid Florida Credit Union for Theater along with Men
at Work and Christopher Cross. The place was packed. They
stayed the whole time and they sounded fantastic.

Speaker 1 (02:31:51):
Icah.

Speaker 3 (02:31:51):
Yeah, that's the one that you are going to get
from a band like that, is you're gonna get perfect
sound because they're all studio musician.

Speaker 5 (02:32:04):

Speaker 10 (02:32:53):
First?

Speaker 6 (02:32:54):
Goods?

Speaker 2 (02:32:55):
Time for you heard it here first on the Jim
Colbert Show.

Speaker 4 (02:32:59):
Well, unfortunate only, Jimmy, We've got at least eleven people
are dead and nearly a dozen are hurt following the
ups plane crash in Louisville last night. That's the update
from Kentucky Governor Andy Basher, who was at the crash
site today.

Speaker 8 (02:33:11):
And there are a handful of other people that were
still searching for that.

Speaker 1 (02:33:15):
We hope weren't.

Speaker 4 (02:33:17):
On site because again, remember the plane had three people
on board, and we already have an eleven person death told.
Basher says the operation has moved from a rescue to
a recovery mission. The aircraft crashed while taking off from
Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, causing a massive explosion.

Speaker 1 (02:33:34):
The NTSB says.

Speaker 4 (02:33:35):
Ground video appears to show the left engine detaching from
the wing ye just before the plane fell back down
to Earth.

Speaker 3 (02:33:43):
All right.

Speaker 4 (02:33:43):
Federal officials are announcing a cutback in the number of
flights in US airspace starting Friday morning. It's the result
of staffing shortages during the federal government shutdown. Transportation Secretary
Sean Duffy explains how the decision was made to reduce
air traffic.

Speaker 8 (02:33:58):
This is not based on what airline travels has more
flights out of what location. This is about where's the
pressure and how do we alleviate the pressure.

Speaker 4 (02:34:09):
FAA Administrator Brian Bedford announced today the agency will reduce
air traffic at forty high volume airports if there's no
deal to end the shutdown. Orlando International Airport was this
busiest in the country last year based on the number
of passengers.

Speaker 7 (02:34:23):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (02:34:24):
Fourth, God, that's exactly what I was gonna say. I mean,
I'll pick for you, guys, you've already learned that lesson
to I'll go three seventh.

Speaker 4 (02:34:33):
Okay, actually, but speaking of Orlando International Airport unfortunately considered
the worst airport Orlando for international travel.

Speaker 1 (02:34:44):
Really, that's according to a recent report.

Speaker 21 (02:34:47):
Yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (02:34:51):
Look, I'm gonna tell you you know again, I don't
fly a lot. My wife flies all the time, and
I mean she doesn't.

Speaker 4 (02:34:56):
Well, this is for international travel, just a whole different
ball to Jacksonville. So that's according to a recent report
by Upgraded Points, which was based on data from US
Customs and Border Protection. The rankings focused on the average
time it took travelers to pass through customs during the
winter holiday travel season. Los Angeles International Airport is the

(02:35:18):
second worst, followed by this airport in third place.

Speaker 1 (02:35:22):
See if you can figure it out. Let's see you're
saying during the holiday season. Yeah, lots of Vegas. He
sure said Vegas. No, I did not. Oh, I thought
you said Vegas.

Speaker 2 (02:35:31):
No.

Speaker 4 (02:35:32):
Los Angeles is the second worst, so Orlando, then followed
by Los Angeles, and then this city's international airport is third.

Speaker 1 (02:35:39):
I'm gonna go with this.

Speaker 4 (02:35:41):
Actually it's Nashville International.

Speaker 1 (02:35:43):
Isn't third place? That makes sense?

Speaker 23 (02:35:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:35:45):
Yeah, and you heard it here first on the Jim
Colbert Show.

Speaker 1 (02:35:48):
Appreciate it. Who do we have to think today?

Speaker 4 (02:35:51):
Well, we want to thank Christina O'Donnell, Josh Branda, and
Repti from the Central Florida Zoo. Also want to thank
Orlando Sentinel columnist Scott Maxwell, Joe Williams, lead singer from
Toto don't forget those pre sale tickets Dogs of Oz
dog z of Oz to get the discount.

Speaker 1 (02:36:10):
On those Toto tickets. That's correct.

Speaker 4 (02:36:12):
And then we also want to thank Ross Paget from
Good Sauces, Ross and Joel don't forget episode eighty one
tonight and last but never Leased Sam Bowen and Candice
Rich for running our YouTube check.

Speaker 3 (02:36:21):
Yeah, guys, thank you so much. We appreciate that every
single day.

Speaker 1 (02:36:24):
We thank you. Jack. Do we have a question of today?

Speaker 5 (02:36:26):
I can't remember we actually did in our YouTube chat,
would you clone your pet if the price was more reasonable?

Speaker 1 (02:36:32):
Oof?

Speaker 3 (02:36:35):
Man, I gotta tell you, you guys are big time
pet lovers. When dev immediately had that visceral reaction in
that story, now I think I'm like in the complete
wrong column on this. I'll go, I'll go fifteen percent
say they would.

Speaker 5 (02:36:48):
Twelve percent said yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:36:51):
Your look really soured me. It was not good. I
felt way less about myself the minute you looked over
at me. I was like, what did I do?

Speaker 5 (02:36:58):
I have a feeling that number go up if you
were asking someone within a day or two of losing
their pet.

Speaker 4 (02:37:05):
Oh yeah, possibly, but still in the end, it's that
it's that look they give you, right.

Speaker 3 (02:37:10):
Yeah, and the fifty k yeah, well yeah, that's another
big part of it as well. All right, coming up tomorrow,
Danny Meering Glenn Klausman in for Colbert Court. Four more
opportunities for you to one one thousand dollars. We'll do
the Froggers football forecast and eat some delicious food from
Frogger's Grilling Bar. All kinds of fun stuff happening tomorrow.
It starts at three o'clock right here on Real Radio

Speaker 1 (02:37:30):
All right, let's get out of here.

Speaker 3 (02:37:31):
Man.

Speaker 1 (02:37:31):
What do you say? It sounds like a good idea.
Let me have a Devin Jack. I'm Jim. We follow
the New Shuggy. They follow the monsters of the.
