and it's a very uh yeah. I want you to
tune in on it. It's a special call. I know
that he already wrote a column about it, so I'm
not blowing anything up. Scott's father past, and Scott's father
dealt with DOMN for a number of years before he
finally passed, and Scott has you know, Scott died. You

(02:07):
and I have Jack, and we've all talked about this
behind the scenes because this is something he's been dealing
with for quite a while. So his call to day
will be a little bit more personal than normally, you know,
something he's writing in a column. So I'm actually really
interested to talk to him today about it. You know,
he gave us a couple of things. He goes, we
could do this, we could do that, we could do this.
I said, I think we should focus on your pop
today and and talk about the you know, how that

(02:28):
whole thing went, and you know, in dementia.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
Yeah, it's also the toll of the family, yeah, and
so many families going through that and how that's on
the rise, and the expenses, yes, and healthcare costs where
you are forced to make some horrible decisions.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Yeah, So we'll do that a little bit later as well.
Brian Grimes here with us today.

Speaker 5 (02:47):
What's up being, how's it going man, Good to see you, buddy,
I'm always excited when I get the email from Jack.
I really am.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
I'm so glad you say that because I always wonder
because we did have one person over the years and
I will not name person.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
Okay, we've had one person.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
That when we asked, you know, hey, do you might
you want to come in hang out? You know, the
way we look at it is, you know, this is
a fun different afternoon, right right. I mean, not a
lot of opportunities come up where you can kind of
hang out on talk radio show, you know, get your
opinions out there, have some fun. We've only had one
person ever that made a comment about, like you know
about free labor. Yeah, yeah, free labor. I didn't want

(03:23):
to say that Jack, because I didn't know how. They
said maybe I should get paid for this, and I'm like,
I don't know. We don't want to leave in mine.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
I mean, I'm under contract, so I get paid the
same all the time.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
And it's not very much. But I mean, what's your
venmo again?

Speaker 5 (03:38):
Instantly I hit him back with absolutely The one time
I had to say no, it's because I had something
else and I was actually really upset.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
I appreciate it, man, I know It's tough because you
live way the hell out like I live way the
hell out, and you work early in the morning, so
for you to you know, stay in town. And I
really appreciate it.

Speaker 6 (03:54):
At two forty five this morning because what I did.
I did four shows today already and then this one.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
You voice strike other stations US.

Speaker 5 (04:02):
So I do live obviously on Johnny's House on XL,
and then I do afternoons on Magic down the Hall here,
so I'm running back and forth, of course. But then
I'm also the national old school hip hop and R
and B for our company, someone in like thirty cities
from Hawaii to like Albuquerque, like random spots. But I
have to do that show as well. But the time

(04:22):
zones are all different, so it's whatever. But like here,
I don't have a whole lot of responsibility. I just
got to respond and be marginally funny. I don't have
to push any buttons, keep us on time. It's low
key whatever.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Dude, super low key. Hey, when you with that hip
hop station, do you guys actually talk about like what's
happening in hip hop?

Speaker 5 (04:40):
So no, we play music, but yeah, you know, a
couple of times an hour, I get to long form
break and talk about what's going on. And I mean
before Didy, there wasn't a lot going on. Yeah, but
you know now old school's fifty cent.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
So right right, isn't that crazy?

Speaker 6 (04:54):
It is crazy because I used to play on.

Speaker 5 (04:56):
Xcel or listen.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
I just went I was talking to we were talking
about Rolling Loud the other day. It's in the town,
which is a gigantic deal for Orlando, to be honest
with you, because he hasn't nothing's been in Miami for
a while now, and I think one of the guys
that is part of the crew that builds that thing
up had spent some time here in Orlando and he
has a little soft spot, so we said he wanted
to see it come back to the city. I think
it's great.

Speaker 7 (05:16):
Man.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
I looked at the lineup for twenty twenty four and
I was like.

Speaker 5 (05:20):
Nope, no, no, no.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
I think I've heard a little Derby or whoever that is.
And then just fifty more notes because all my hip
hop stops around like ninety nine, two thousand, some of
those acts, I said, you know, Travis Scott, I know
and Drake and all those guys like the big names.
I think, yeah, but man.

Speaker 6 (05:38):
I am like not the lows.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
There's no no, no, right, And I'm a granular hip
hop fan. I mean going back to Grandmaster Flash, like
I started listening to I was like sixth seventh grade
from the onset of hip hop, and but when it
hit a certain point where it was I don't know,
post the NWA thing, it just got a little sloppy
for me. In the nineties. Yeh, I wasn't in like
naughty h or any of that stuff. Like the true

(06:02):
hip hop to me kind of died at that time.
Although funny enough, I just did for what you do
that's new. Give the guys a hip hop album to
listen to? Clips?

Speaker 5 (06:11):
Okay, dude, you like Clip?

Speaker 6 (06:12):
I mean I haven't listened in a while, but yeah,
I used to listen to that.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah yeah, man, Lord Willin is the one I told
him in two thousand and two is the one that
has grinding and uh uh the other one I forget
the other one. I always forget the name of the song.
But uh and the instant I go the texting service said, Yo,
what you know about clips?

Speaker 5 (06:28):
You know about that?

Speaker 3 (06:29):
So uh anyway, that's funny.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
Yeah, yeah, no, it's it's it's fun because I grew
up listening to old school hip hop and R and B, so.

Speaker 6 (06:34):
I get to play it.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Sure, Manute's great, which is awesome. So it's a good time,
all right, four O seven nine one six one o
four one. You can always text us at seven seven
zero three one. Let me ask you guy a quick question. Uh. So,
you know CBS has changed hands here recently, you know,
I say changed hands. But now there's somebody new in
charge of CBS. Barry Vice is in charge of Jackie
helped me out. Is she just the editorial director over there?

(06:57):
She running news director the whole new depart So let
me ask would that include the online product as well? Yes?
It would. So let me ask you. And you know
you've been in this business a while, Brian jack can
hear me, and he's doing some business in there. But so,
what would you think if a major news agency airbrush

(07:18):
the photograph of a political figure?

Speaker 5 (07:20):
Yeah, I'd have a problem with that. I feel it's, uh,
they're trying to take you a certain direction.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Yeah, I have to tell you. There is a close
up photo of Christine Nome on the cut, on the
front page or the top of the page, on CBS.
CBS News website today is when I visited every single
day of my life to visit and read about news
so we can have something to talk about on the air, right,
and just to be informed. It's a great website. It's
one of twenty I read every single day. And I

(07:47):
saw this picture of Christy Nome and you know, I'm
not busting on Christy Nome because of her complexion, but
she's obviously has had some skin issues and also had
some surgeries and whatnot. And we've also seen with the
Caroline Levitt pictures from the guys from you know, for
the Vanity Fair issue. Yes, they got that real close
up and they definitely did not airbrush those photographs because
nobody in the world would want that out there as
a photograph of themselves as a as a young lady.

Speaker 8 (08:09):
Right.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
And I saw the Christine picture today and I'm like, yeah,
I don't know. So I went online. I was like, Okay,
let's get some Christine Ohm close ups. So I went
on line google Christie Noam close ups and I am
doing the deep reach I and I even found one
that was the exact same angle as the one that
I thought was airbrush. Maybe if you go to CBS

(08:31):
News right.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
Now, you can actually set them doing because I want
to see myself.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
You know what the funny thing is, I haven't seen
if they moved it or not. Yeah, they already moved it.
Oh okay, yeah, they already moved the picture. So it's
the morning news cycle and it's turned her hat, and
but the lighting is good because she's in a room
in the White House, like you know at Electurn or
something like that, So the lighting is good. And man,
I brought up a picture of her and I blew
it up the same size and I put them by side,

(08:54):
and I'm like, yeah, there's zero question in my mind
that CBS News airbrush that photograph of Christine.

Speaker 6 (08:59):
No, not to to be more positive or to be yeah, to.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Take out some of her blemishes. Because again, when you
see Christy, you can see her face has had something.
She's had something has gone on in a couple of
areas in her face. I think she's got to like
a blow her It would be her right like eye
down there by her jaw. She's got a little there's
like a little wrinkle there something that's part of her skin.
And in her neck you can see it as well.
But when you see this photograph from CBS, it has

(09:24):
been in my opinion, I do not know if this
is true, but it certainly looks to have been altered
in airbrush to make her look more, you know, better.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
Okay, Yeah, And I don't.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Know if that photograph is still online right now in
CBS News. But I didn't know if you thought that
was kind of weird that a major news agency would
airbrush the photograph of a political figure.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
And I think they do it to kind of throw
you off the scent of all the other stuff there
up there.

Speaker 5 (09:46):
Yeah, right, let's give them something to really be upset
about so we can slide this way.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah, what do you think about that? Jack's that crazy?

Speaker 9 (09:53):
You're not?

Speaker 3 (09:53):
Do you think CBS? Do you think news station should
be airbrushing the photographs of political figures to make them
look more like presentable or whatever?

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yeah, it's it's not the first time it's been done.
I remember, was it the O. J. Simpson picture where
they darkened the picture?

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Oh yeah, yeah, to make them look more ominous?

Speaker 5 (10:14):
Yeah, yeah, it was news Week And that's what I
why I didn't. I hadn't seen the picture. I thought
you were going that way. I'm like, well, because you
can really alter the kind of the vibe of a photo.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Well, yeah, Well the thing is with the CBS News
because Barry Weis is there now that one of the
things is is of course they are. They're kind of uh,
they call it maga coded is the term they're using
for Tony ducap Pill or whatever his name is, Doca Pill,
who's the new CBS Evening News correspondent. Okay, and so
you know there's a lot of talk out there. It's like,
well CBS News has gone right, blah blah blah blah.

(10:44):
And I was like, why, you know, I read it
every day. I've noticed some stuff, but not enough to
like kind of thwart me from reading CBS News. I
thought the stories are still written, relatively fair.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
You know, you can see a little or maybe it's
the stories you're not seeing, like the sixty minutes report
on immigration.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
Oh yeah, the ones you didn't see because they did,
or the Seacott thing you're talking about, right, yes, yeah.
But when I saw that picture, I was like, oh,
well that's different, and I thought it was. I thought
it was like from the one I brought up. It
was marketedly different.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
Vanity Fair article doing an interview. Yeah, I could see
them touching up a picture yeaheah. A news organization should
not be like, you know, doing glimber shots.

Speaker 6 (11:23):
Think I've found it.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
So which one he's got a blue hat on? Yeah, okay,
with like a green jacket?

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah, can you tell me that looks like, you know,
blow that thing up so you can see it.

Speaker 6 (11:34):
Did make they they softened her up a lot.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah, there's no question right that. Yeah. Yeah, because when
you look at a picture of her, like from the
you know, from when she's out and it's just taking
from like a maybe an AP reporter or whatever, or
even from one of the standard reporters that are in
the White House. You know, those guys have a photographed
pool that the you know a lot of photographers can
come in, uh, represented for their particular station where it
be ABC, CBS, Newsweek, whatever the case may be. And

(11:58):
when you put them side by side, I was like, oh, damn.

Speaker 5 (12:00):
Okay, so I found one of the same from a
different outlet, same picture. Yeah, you should see the difference.
It's it's actually pretty striking. That's the same yeah, freak.
And then that's the actual picture.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Wow, dude, you should do You should see what he
just did.

Speaker 5 (12:14):
They softened her up a lot, and Nick, they removed
every ounce of age from her.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Yeah, dude, that's crazy, right.

Speaker 5 (12:21):
And it's the same photo because that's the same hat,
that's the same shirt.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Yeah, sorry about that with the mine cut.

Speaker 5 (12:25):
That's yeah, I'm sorry, sorry to make you move. I
couldn't flip it.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
But it's so crazy. I've not heard of that before.
That's when I found that was so unique.

Speaker 6 (12:32):
I don't know why you would do that.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah, I don't know either. Very interesting though, all right
four O seven nine four one text us at seven
to seven zero three one. And there's some intriguing shows
coming to television or coming to the streaming services in
twenty twenty six. We're going to talk about a couple
of those. I've seen the trailers for him. They're crazy.
Have you been watching anything like out there that?

Speaker 5 (12:52):
No, we have a list of shows to start, and
we've not started any of them. I watch ye, So yeah,
we just haven't like our schedules, haven't really been lining
up to watch shows together. She's watched a bunch of
stuff without me because I don't care. But there's certain
things that I won't watch without her because I don't
want to get right blowback.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
My wife doesn't have that gene, and I wish she did,
because we started that Dying for Sex show, the one
that won the Golden Globe, and we're like, man, we're
ready to do this because it's got Michelle Williams. She's adorable.
She is. The story is, she's a woman who finds
out she has terminal cancer. She's been with the same
person forever. She wants to kind of stretch out her
wings and and kind of blow it out and have
some fun sexually before she meets her demise. And then

(13:32):
off they go with this best friend of hers and
you know, and on goes the show. Well, my wife
has a terrible hard time sleeping, so she watched the
entire series. I watched two episodes. She stayed up the
rest of the night watching it the entire thing. She goes,
I think that's the first time I've cried real tears
over a TV show in a couple of years. Really, yeah,
she said it was. It was really, really good. And

(13:55):
she cried because she left you out of this period. No, no, no, no, no,
she would never try for that. Buddy, all right, but
it was really really good, and we had a couple
others coming up with some major stars by the way,
that look really really interesting as well. Jack you had
some newsports, buddy, Oh yeah, baby, a Florida mom gets life,
don't eat the Tater Tots. Hey, Verizon, we can't hear

(14:17):
you now, and sweater Weather is on the way. Details
and JCS news all right, take little break, will come
back and get Jackson News and do more than Jim
Colbert show.

Speaker 10 (14:31):
Oh yeah, I love well.

Speaker 11 (14:39):
Wow, Come on with the picture altering thing. You know,
Playboy did that from the very beginning, softening edges, making
things look bigger, making everything look perfect for the cover
and inside. Nothing special about messing with pictures been around

(15:02):
for since the nineteen fifties.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
Was at my point, you want to explain it to
that cartoon voice, I don't, buddy, I don't.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
Well, it's different when it's news. It's different when it's
a political figure and not a Playboy person that you're
trying to look beautiful or just news in general.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
Yeah, your news should not be altering the pictures. News
is about reporting the truth, right, not altering things to
make them look like they're not.

Speaker 6 (15:25):
What about those of us that Replayboy for the articles.

Speaker 4 (15:28):
Yeah right right, yeah, yeah, for the good for the
good content. Well, I don't think they're altering the articles.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
Well you don't know that, Jack. They can be airbrushing
the article. All right for seven says one O four

Let's get it.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
It's time for JCS news.

Speaker 12 (16:08):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
This this kuy kind of put his name on everything.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
It's in my contracted here's.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
The news on the Jim Colberg Show.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
All right, we're getting started with the weather.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
It's not the most exciting thing, but when you're in
Florida and we're talking about temperatures in the thirties.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
It becomes our top story. It is the top story, dude.
I'm gonna tell you every local news station is leading
with bird This morning.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
It was frigid and blustery. Yeah, that's where the words
they used.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
So it's gonna be a little up and down.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
We're talking overnight lows, I believe tonight, at least in
our area here near Orlando, we're talking lows in the fifties.
But then the next night will be in the forties.
And I think Friday morning they're talking about thirties in
some area with a freeze warning actually in parts of
Marion County. Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, and then the

(16:55):
weekend it's like Saturday, little warmer, and then Sunday and
Monday back into the thirties.

Speaker 7 (17:00):
Yea.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
And then we're gonna have a week straight where it's
not gonna be above sixty degrees. Did you see that?
Which I don't mind it all. Yeah, it's nice. Yeah,
I'm kind of cool. I do I mind it. I
hate it. Thirties. That's when you're talking.

Speaker 5 (17:12):
All right, put the heat on, right, I'm supposed to
leave my faucets dripping in the thirties.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
No, you don't have to do that here.

Speaker 5 (17:18):
No you don't.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Well, it's nothing. It doesn't stay cold long enough to
cause any damage.

Speaker 5 (17:23):
Like I run my pool pump because I'm like, man,
the pipes are gonna bump.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
Well, are you no?

Speaker 4 (17:30):
You gotta keep a weather eye out because the freeze
could last six to seven hours in Marion County.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Oh yeah, are you no, I'm in winn Guard. You're solid. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (17:40):
Did you not hear frigid and bluster?

Speaker 3 (17:42):
Yeah? Yeah, that's pretty scary.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
But I need you need, you need several hours of
freezing to worry about your pipe.

Speaker 5 (17:48):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (17:49):
I can't believe I grew up up there and I
had no idea about the whole pipe thing until I
came down here.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
We never did it. Oh yeah, well even in North Florida.
I remember back in the day, my my grandmother filling
her car up and letting it idle all night so
that the so the water didn't freeze in her block.
Really yeah, yeah, sure enough.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
You know who doesn't have to worry about setting the
climate in their room. That would be Kimberly Mills, because
she was found guilty today in the death of her
ten year old son Xavier Williams. You remember this was
the Tavaris boy who was tortured by her mom and boyfriend.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
Yeah, and I believe she was a nurse. Yeah. They
both initially pled not guilty, and then she changed her
plea to guilty to avoid I guess the death penalty
but correct.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
So she agreed, but also agreed to testify against the boyfriend,
Andre Walker. He now faces the death penalty if convicted
a first degree murder.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
Yeah, she gets life in prison, bye bye.

Speaker 9 (18:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
Over here in seven Oak County, Longwood area police officer
had to shoot a man at a convenience store that
I've been at.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
That's weird, is it just is like late I've been there.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
We're talking about the circle K in the corner of
four thirty four in Range Line, Arrange, Why yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
Yeah, yea yeah, place save my I literally drifted into
that gas station once. Yeah. Well, good thing it wasn't
at nine ten pm last night.

Speaker 4 (19:18):
Yeah, officers were called to the store. First officer arrived
and wanted to de escalate the situation. The man he
was hiding his hands, he was, you know, very agitated,
saying he wanted to commit suicide. But he kept his
hands concealed, claiming to be armed. He said he was armed,
according to police, and then suddenly pulled his hands from

(19:41):
the inside of his waistpend and a hostile manager, a
hostile manner. The officer open fired, striking him. No officers
were injured. The man was taken into the hospital for surgery.
He's in stable condition. However, no gun was found on
the man. Oh really didn't even have a gun?

Speaker 3 (19:58):
Oh wow? Yeah yeah, and mental health issues too, right, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (20:02):
Well because he was talking about taking his own life. Yeah,
maybe it was the whole plan.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yeah, so suicide by cop. Yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:08):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (20:09):
Let's see.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
Verizon acknowledges outage. Thousands report a drop in service. Widespread
outage appears to be affecting thousands of Verizon customers today.
According to the website down Detector, which is everyone seems
to use AD when.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
It's like, wait is my phone network? It's a down detector.

Speaker 7 (20:27):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
It shows that around one hundred and eighty thousand people
have reported an outage on the site as of two
pm today. Is that just Flordians or just Central Flordians? No,
it's Miami, New York. It's affecting all areas. How do
you have right now? I'm on Verizon without a problem,
no problem.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
Are you a Rizen person?

Speaker 6 (20:45):
No, I've got Spectrum.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
Oh do you really?

Speaker 4 (20:46):
Okay, I'm about to change plans. I got to jump
in the next couple of weeks to what I don't
know yet.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
You're looking at deals now, are you really? Yeah?

Speaker 10 (20:54):
You know.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
The funny thing is is my wife changed her plan
and I'm still on AT and teen. I've been with
these guys for like decades. I'm not kidding, and I'm
thinking about changing as well.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
Yeah, I'm trying to decide if I do something on
my own or if I do a new family because
I got the family on t bobil. But either I
go to that plan or I go a new one
and take advantage of getting an upgrade phone up.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
There isn't there a bundle deal for all these there are?

Speaker 4 (21:18):
There are a couple of Spectrum does them where you
get free internet.

Speaker 5 (21:21):
That's how I ended up with Spectrum. Really have Spectrum Internet,
And so I needed a new phone and they had
a deal, so I switched.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
Is it good service?

Speaker 5 (21:28):
I love it.

Speaker 6 (21:29):
I have no problems with it, right.

Speaker 4 (21:30):
Yeah, that or Verizon you could get four lines in
the phone and twenty five bucks a line, which is
for three years.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
That's a pretty pretty good price.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
Yeah yeah, yeah, the Verizon, the network usually is good
today having some issues. Oh check this out. This is
something we talked about. Whenever car versus train we get it.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
You know.

Speaker 4 (21:52):
Guess what, it's always the cars right away. This was
a car versus bright line in rock Ledge. It happens
in September eight. Three year old woman. Family said she
was on her way to Planet Fitness, and she also
said they also said she did not have a drinking problem.
Guess what, we got the report over three times the

(22:12):
legal My.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
Goodness, on our way to the Jim Hammered.

Speaker 5 (22:15):
They don't judge you, no judgment. It's the judgment free
zone at Planet Fitness. If they're gonna go to the
Jim Hammered, that's the that's the spot.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
That should be. That should be part of her advertising
campaign where we got drunk, come on in, we got
your Dog.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
Video shows her pull up, the train rail is down,
she scoots like it hits her car and then she
just goes forward and stops and that train just cuts
that car in half.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
Yeah, she was It probably didn't even solw that train
down one mile out.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
Yeah no, yeah, trade kept going and you just see
this plume of smoke. Poor woman eighty three years old
but no longer with us, but that we now know, uh,
probably the reason she was on the tracks at the time.
Also over there in Brevard there held a workshop to
decide whether to renew a half cent sales tax for

(23:04):
the Indian River Lagoon restoration. They had one in place
for ten years and it comes up this year. It's
generated around five hundred and sixty million dollars. You think
a halfpenny sales tack five hundred and sixty million bus
It's unbelievable, wasn't it. Yeah, so it's I mean, you
don't notice.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
You don't notice, not even a little bit.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
And that's a lot of money doing a lot of good.
So much so dozens of residents are urging commissioners to
put it back on the twenty twenty six ballot, calling
it vital for the water quality and wildlife in the area.
And you do, you have to do everything you can
to keep that that lagoon is.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
The Indian River itself is great.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
You know, they're dealing with the recovery from the manate
issues they've had.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
It's part of the livelihood of the state. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
Absolutely, the fish hills and whatnot. You gotta cot you
gotta you know, protect against all of that. All right,
So let's see what else we got. Oh, we talked
about this, the cemetery over in Daytona, right.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah, the one where the guy just bailed on the
cemetery and it's kind of overgrowing.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
Now is that the Pinewood Cemetery or that might be
a different one. Okay, this is one hundred and fifty
two year old Pinewood Cemetery.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
This is Jim.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
I think you're looking for something to do with your
extra time. Oh yeah, sure, volunteering. Well, they have volunteers
and it includes a motorcycle club and families of people
who are buried there. They spent Sunday cleaning and repairing
the Daytona Beaches Pinewood Cemetery. Man, that cemetery is actually
older than the town itself.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
Damn, that's one hundred and fifty two years old. You know,
this area, though, is littered with these tiny little cemeteries
that have been here. You know, there's one right up
the street here, right off seventeen ninety two. You could
take a left on one of those little roads and
on the right there's a cemetery from.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
South Street right by that that when Dixie Plaza.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah, yeah, that tiny little cemetery. There's probably like twenty
graves in that entire thing. And he not only knows
how long that's been here, because you think about the
the what's built, what's been built up around around it
there seventy five years. Also, there's one in Oakland, and
if you get on Highway fifty on either side in
Oakland you go back in those woods. They will tell
you that you could just be back there like hunting

(25:11):
or just hiking and stumble across gravestones back in there
from people who've been buried for decades back there.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
You know how you avoid a cemetery. Taking care of yourself,
working out, However, what's the number one New Year's resolution?

Speaker 3 (25:27):
Lose weight? Yep, exercising, losing weight, stop smoking, maybe, but
losing weight's got to be the number one.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
However, there is a downside to exercising. So if you're
thinking about for a reason not to go to the gym,
listen up. You gov that survey cited that exercising more
is the most common New Year's resolution. However, Orlando doctor
warns that social media fitness trends lead to an increase

(25:55):
in injuries, so you want to be careful where you're
getting your workout ideas and routines. He recommends starting with
body weight exercises, hiring a trainer, and focusing on high
reps with low weight because a lot of people, if
it's something they're not doing, they watch these people ripped
on social media.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
Oh yeah, I could do.

Speaker 5 (26:15):
That on TikTok. I saw it.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
Yeah yeahah, And then you know, and they're getting hurt,
just like we heard all the people like this big
pickleball explosion. And then you know everyone's going to the
orthopedic doctor.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
I was gonna say, you see every orthopedic surgeon you've
ever met driving brand new lambos. Yeah, all right.

Speaker 4 (26:33):
Another way to stave off death and stay out of
an overgrown cemetery, you might want to consider avoiding Tater Tots.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Jim, I know you're a fan. I am. You have
to tell you something, man, It's so funny. When I
saw this story the other day, I said to myself,
I think I have officially flipped. And I like Tater
tots more than French fries now really, Yeah, dude, I'm
a massive tot. FANI don't like tots. Whine I'm anti tot.
You can't be anti tots.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
I hadn't be because I grew up anti tot and
now I'm okay with them now.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
But they're not better than anti to I don't that's
a Truthfully, I do not understand that concept for me.

Speaker 6 (27:08):
Okay, So this might sound weird.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
Straight up already sounds weird.

Speaker 6 (27:12):
It's to me it's a poor person food.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Oh my god, almighty. And we grew up there, Oh
my god, we grew up and tater tots cost more
than potatoes.

Speaker 5 (27:22):
They may, I don't know, but I had. I got
free lunch when I was a kid, and they always
gave us tater tots, And so I assure you thought
because you were broke, you were broke tater tots with
poor food.

Speaker 6 (27:37):
And I don't want it anymore. Reason I don't eat spam.

Speaker 5 (27:40):
My mom made us eat spam a lot as a
kid because we didn't have money, So no more, I
won't do it.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
You know what. For me, it might be the school
tater tots that, yeah, because they were cooked properly. Yeah,
come to my house for a tot, dude, I'll hook
you up.

Speaker 5 (27:53):
And everyone goes crazy here when a lixir brings in
the loaded tops and I'm like, I smack them off
my desk.

Speaker 4 (27:59):
Oh all right, you're making a mistake there, because those things,
those hands poverty off my desk.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
Poverty food, potatoes or poverty. So this poverty food is
on hold.

Speaker 4 (28:14):
In Orange County schools, they removed or ride a Tater
Tots and Cisco Imperial potatoat barrels right on after an
FDA recall warned of possible plastic contamination.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
Gonna tell you've never been a tot hater. I've never
been a tot hater. Standup, yat Almighty that God, that's
a straight dog. This rec recall spends twenty six states.

Speaker 4 (28:37):
Families are asked to watch for mouth injuries or digestive
issues if their kids recently ate the product. So you're
talking a ride a Tater Tots and Cisco Imperial Potato
tater barrels.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
Yeah, all right, it's some plastic or something in there.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
Right, yep, yep, they plastic contabint possible plastic contamination.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
Yeah, yeah, eat a plastic tot.

Speaker 6 (29:00):
They try to make it sound fancy by calling it
potato barrels.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
I ordered potato barrels once because I didn't know it
was tots, and I sent it back and asked for
my money back.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
Bigger there's just a bigger ton.

Speaker 6 (29:08):
Why would I want that?

Speaker 5 (29:09):
I'm like, hey, I ordered.

Speaker 6 (29:11):
Order tots barrels, so.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
I ordered it and that get.

Speaker 5 (29:15):
This off my table.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
Let me ask you a question that will that will
be a tail immediately.

Speaker 5 (29:20):
You eat McDonald's.

Speaker 6 (29:22):
Do I eat McDonald's yes?

Speaker 5 (29:23):
I Do you eat their breakfast? I do not.

Speaker 6 (29:25):
I don't like breakfast.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
You don't eat their brekface. You don't eat their hash.

Speaker 5 (29:27):
Brown No, okay, I don't like breakfast.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
I thought I had it.

Speaker 4 (29:30):
I was never a fan of hash browns either as
a kid. Now I now I appreciate.

Speaker 5 (29:33):
Hash brown cast role all day long. That's cheesy, shreded potatoes,
a little bacon in it.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
Voted tots though, no, no, they're still tots.

Speaker 6 (29:41):
It's a base of tots.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
That is unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
See, I grew into uh, I'd appreciate for tato Todds.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
Brian was still stuck in crunch. Dude, how do you
not like all that crunch. Dude, I don't even want
it near me, all right, I can't get over it.
I'm leaving after it's going to for the remainder of
the day.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
While we're on the subject of Orange County schools, the
school board in Orange County approved the Hungerford land sale to.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Doctor Phillips Charity today.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
Am, that's right, Doctor Phillips Charities plans a mixed use development.
This is primarial estate adjacent to I four right in
the Eatonville area. If you drive by wesh On, I
mean you see that west tower and I for right,
that big plot of land right after it is Boom.
That is the area we're talking about now. It's kind

(30:29):
of a cool deal of what they have planned here
the development for the Eaton Mill land. They want healthcare,
educational facilities, a grocery store, a park, a museum, and housing. Now,
the board unanimously approved a deal to sell the one
hundred and seventeen acre plot of land to Orlando based
Doctor Phillips Charities. It's fourteen million dollars. However, much of

(30:51):
the sale price would be waived if the organization fulfills
its plan to build affordable housing a town museum and
a park with a pavilion for outdoor events, the health
care facility and early learning services within ten years. So yes,
it's cost some fourteen million, but they have ten years
to get this done and they're gonna get a lot
of that back.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Yeah. Yeah, and it's wild. There's that's a bit of
a bit of a grocery desert over in that area,
if you know anything about it. Yeah, you have to
go all the way down to the end of seventeen
ninety two and that's for a whole foods and then
you have to go keep You have to go up
seventeen ninety two on the left to get to that
Winter Park public right. Other than that, if you go
down seventeen ninety two or Lee Road the other way,

(31:31):
there is no grocery store. None. You have to go
all the way to College Park to go to the
grocery store there. I'm not kidding. Not one. They had
a wind dixe in that plaza where the sam Ash
was for a while, but then it closed down. There
is not a grocery store on Lee Road. You have
to go all the way to four to forty one
and then take a left and go all the way

(31:51):
into College Park and at the grocery store it's bananas.

Speaker 4 (31:55):
And finally, Jim, they Split Oak Subdivision. You know they've
been they've been fighting forever about this, this road extension,
this railway, and however the fight continues. Environmental groups and
residents rallied against the proposed toll road.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
I thought it was already a done deal.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
However, Uh, the state panel approved SR five point thirty
four last year to help with the overcrowded roads. Critics
want to see the commissioners withdraw the original application. Speakers
warned the project had set a dangerous precedent for taking
conservation land and urge county leaders to withdraw the application.
So there's still fighting, the good fight to preserve the

(32:33):
land down there in the Split Oaks Subdivision.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
And good luck to them. Yeah, that is JCS news

New York. We had a place called Pinewood Cemetery and
you could easily go in there and find many, many
headstones with dates going back to the seventeen hundreds.

Speaker 3 (33:30):
And that place was creepy.

Speaker 13 (33:31):

little bit later. Have you guys, I just saw this

(34:20):
for the first time today. Are you a music festival guy?

Speaker 5 (34:23):
Yeah, I mean yes and no. I don't like giant
like get smashed crowds. If I can find a spot
kind of off to the side. I do like music festivals.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
You just do the lurking thing, right.

Speaker 5 (34:33):
I don't want to be up in the mix, but
I do enjoy like the variety of music and artists
I can see in one spot.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
For much better on drugs. Yeah yeah, Jack went too. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (34:44):
Well you also went to the thing in Daytona. Oh yeah,
yeah yeah, Rockville Rockville? Yeah went two years, Yeah, a
couple of years.

Speaker 5 (34:51):
And Jack Sun does Rockville yeah after this yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
Jack Chills in the Shade is if you can find shade.
He gonna chills in the cut. Yeah, to check out bands.
He had a couple of bands he wanted to see. Yeah,
have you heard about this thing coming to Okalla?

Speaker 6 (35:05):
I did hear about it, but now, like, I don't
know a whole lot about it.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
Holy ass, dude, it's called it's called uh Rock the Country, right.
So I saw it today and I started laughing as
it's old kid rock, old dried up kid rock, right,
And they're like, they're like, well, here's who's coming. It's
kid rock, It's Creed. I'm like, okay, you know, Creed's
a cool band. You know, Orlando band. How do you
not support them? Tremonte's one of the best dudes in Orlando.

(35:29):
Scott Phillip is a great guy as well. That's the
only two guys in the band I know. I don't
know what's his face. The lead singer, Scott's Stapp, never
met him, but I know those other two dudes, they're great.
Kid rock is kid rock, you know. I mean, you
don't have to care about his politics, like his music
from back in the day, ball with the Ball and whatnot.
But then I started looking at this lineup and I
was like, man, who isn't playing this thing. There are

(35:53):
only six dates for it. It's coming to O'calla, I
think in August. It's coming to O'calla August twenty eighth
and twenty ninth. These are just some of the acts.
And by the way, it's country rock and hip hop.

Speaker 5 (36:03):
Okay, all right, I'm doing something similar to that at
Tortuga Music Festival.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
Oh yeah, that's another great one. So we're going this year,
all right, Kid Rock, Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, Jelly Roll,
that's huge, Creed Brooks and Dunn, Riley Green, Miranda Lambert,
Hank Williams, Junior, Shine Down, Lynyrd Skinnard, Brantley Gilbert. Then
you go into the day too, ludicrous Nelly, that's day.
I think that's the last day. Aaron Lewis and the

(36:29):
State Liners. That's the dude from Stained for you guys,
Josh Ross, Josh Turner, Gretchen Wilson, remember from back in
the day. Yeah, Marshall Tucker Band's going to be there, Shenandoah,
Uncle Cracker's going to be there. And you started going,
Gretchen Wilson, like I said before, Ashley Cook, and then
it goes into the other like some of the acts

(36:50):
that are just up and coming. And I was like, damn, dude,
this sounds like a really fun show.

Speaker 5 (36:54):
I mean, but I said, I'm assuming they have multiple
multiple stages. Otherwise everyone's playing like two songs now say
so many people.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
They definitely have to have multiple stages because you look,
I mean.

Speaker 6 (37:03):
Like where an o'kaala is it?

Speaker 3 (37:05):
So it's more than likely going to be at that
that equestrian center thing.

Speaker 6 (37:08):
Right, Okay, that's a lot of land.

Speaker 3 (37:09):
I guess you could, yeah, that world o'calla or whatever
it is, that that's where it has to be. Because
here it doesn't say where it's gonna It just says
it's going to be in o'calla. I can only assume
that the smike because it says eight shows, eight small towns, okay,
and it says a revival for the people. And of
course it's leaning on you know that the posters, even red,

(37:29):
white and blue and the nine yards, leaning on the
whole you know, American, you know, patriotic thing, which is
not how many problems with that whatsoever. But the acts
are incredible and it's a good blend, which is really
unique because usually like with the Rockville thing, You're getting
rock and roll, that's it. I don't know what the
Tortuga best is like. Is it a mixture of yeah,
like chill bands.

Speaker 5 (37:47):
Yeah, Tortuga has got like ice Cube as far as
hip hop goes, uh post Malone, but then Kenny Chesney
Riley Green, Yeah, like Dustin Lynch, but it's it's Uncle
Cracker's there too. There is some crossover artists at tortugas well, right.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
Right, and they do that a lot. You know, as
they do these tours, they will kind of build them
so they can be part of these festivals. It's going
to be at the Florida Horse Park.

Speaker 5 (38:07):
But that one is definitely much more diverse like that
all over the place.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
Man. I mean Nelly and Ludacrous. I have to tell you,
I would go see I would go to the show
see Nelly and Ludicrous.

Speaker 6 (38:16):
I've seen them both separately.

Speaker 3 (38:19):
I've never seen any Honestly, I've only been one hip
hop show of my entire life, and it was The Beastie Boys.

Speaker 5 (38:24):
Oh wow, I never saw the beast Yeah, wish I did.

Speaker 3 (38:26):
And I saw them when they were really young, and
I saw them at the edge or what used to
be the edge of the here in Ortlanta. They turned
into Ace Cafe and I don't know what it's going
to be now.

Speaker 6 (38:33):
Yeah, I think it was eight seconds for a while.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
Yeah. Yeah. And saw them there and Hank Williams the
third Hank the third open for him and boy, that
was an interesting blend of humanity. Yeah, I bet yeah, yeah,
good show though, got them money? What a good show.
Massive Beastie Boys fan, Jim real quick.

be happy for us. Yeah, I want it'd be nice
to have something that the company could do for the employees,
to offer a pathway for us to go and not
have to spend all that damn money. Look, you understand

Tortoise.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
There you go. So that's much bigger than that. What
is that as big as that one's gonna get?

Speaker 9 (41:47):
No, no, no, this is a juvenile so they can get
twenty pounds.

Speaker 14 (41:51):
But that's about it.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
Well, well, you say tortoise, I think, of course of
the gigantic.

Speaker 9 (41:56):
No, no, these are good pets, those are not. I've
got four of the big ones. I will not take
another one. I know somebody with seventeen rescue tortoises. They're out,
They're out in the environment.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
Now, okay, so how big are the ones that you have? Oh?

Speaker 14 (42:11):
God, the one.

Speaker 9 (42:11):
It took four guys from Gatorland to get them in
the back of my jeep.

Speaker 3 (42:14):
Are you kidding?

Speaker 14 (42:16):
No?

Speaker 3 (42:16):
No.

Speaker 9 (42:16):
And he's aggressive too. He tries to run me down.
He tries to bite me. When he tries that, I
just stip step on his back and he'll lift up
and just walk around with me. He tries to throw
me in.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
There there's Are you serious, you get serious. It will
lift you up off the ground and walk around.

Speaker 15 (42:31):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (42:32):
Yes, when you say run you down, I mean turtles
are not. Tourists are slow?

Speaker 9 (42:35):
Oh no, no, these are not slow when they're motivated. Really,
he is highly motivated to run somebody down.

Speaker 3 (42:41):
Man, Nobody in the world. And that told me a
giant tortoise would be a holes and I would believe that.

Speaker 14 (42:45):
Oh yeah, yeah, he came from gator Land.

Speaker 7 (42:47):
I know why they them if that keeps giving right,
we're run down by a tortoise, I would swear. You're like,
I'm slow, I dare you?

Speaker 14 (42:58):
Come on out, I'll show you.

Speaker 3 (42:59):
And you have a chameleon friend here with you as well.

Speaker 9 (43:01):
That's little Kyle here. That was a gift from the
Apopka Fire Department. Never a good thing when they call you,
and this time it wasn't so bad. This little guy
was found walking alongside the road, just out and about.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
I'll be damn yeah, is it normal for I mean,
because I mean again not to sound just sense. I mean,
but you know, they're really plentiful in the state of Florida.
I mean, you could find them in South Florida. We
were just talking before the show. This guy Fishing Garrett,
who does the yoint thing on TikTok and Instagram, does
videos from the Everglades all the time where he walks
around like a moron, barefoot and in the Everglades with
all those snakes and stuff. But I mean he finds

(43:35):
Cammie leads by the bucket load down there, just chilling.

Speaker 9 (43:38):
All kinds of reptiles down there. Yeh yeah, man, Florida
is a hotbed.

Speaker 14 (43:41):
For stuff like that. It's all tropical.

Speaker 5 (43:43):
Yeah, perfect for him.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
All right, mind everybody what the Cara Foundation is.

Speaker 9 (43:47):
We are a nonprofit animal sanctuary and rescue. We have
about two hundred animals. We specialize in the hard to
place animals, the ex pets, like a tiger all away
from California. We're up to eleven monkeys. Now, I said
we'd never have monkeys, and now we have eleven of them.

Speaker 3 (44:06):
All different breeds or is it specifically one of macacus
or spiders?

Speaker 9 (44:09):
No, no, we actually have three different spider monkeys, which
is weird. Most places don't have, you know, such a variety.
And then we have a bunch of the capuchins.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
Oh capuchins.

Speaker 14 (44:19):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
Now, are the spider monkeys as playful and mischievous as
they seem to be when you see them online?

Speaker 9 (44:26):
They can be, They can be, they can They're super smart.
Oh yeah, oh, they are super smart. And their limbs
are so long and their pre insal tail. Right, yeah,
you don't want to fight one that's for sure.

Speaker 14 (44:36):
Fighting in octopus.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
It is. Actually, it's so funny. One of the guys
I follow online has one, and his entire house is
built so that this monkey can have a place to
get you just it's basically a playground for the monkey
that he lives in. Yeah, and it is bananas. How
athletic they are. Oh my god, they're so crazy man, so.

Speaker 9 (44:55):
Fast, and you want to hear something really crazy. Their
tail is amazing. It's almost like they have eyes on
their tail. My little girl Ava, who you've met before,
she'll go to the top of her cage, which is
really high, and she'll just drop and before she hits
somehow that tail will reach out.

Speaker 14 (45:12):
And grab her. Wow, it's amazing.

Speaker 9 (45:14):
And she'll run through the house without even looking and
her tail will just grab things full speed going through
the house.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
That's what this one does online. This guy's got it,
and he's got stairs, and that thing will it'll it'll
it's got this jumping pattern. It'll jump, it'll use the
gravity of its force, so it'll run around. You know
those at the circus when they have those motorcycles go
around the ball.

Speaker 6 (45:34):
Yeah, like the sphere of Gath.

Speaker 3 (45:35):
It's like that thing with a monkey. But he will
do it and then as he's running by the staircase,
She's right, he'll reach out and grab one one of
the spools from the staircase and stop himself and then
slide down the rail.

Speaker 14 (45:46):
Amazing, it looks fake, it does, don't it.

Speaker 3 (45:48):
Amazing?

Speaker 5 (45:48):
That would be awesome for about twenty minutes.

Speaker 14 (45:50):
Yeah, unless you're trying to chase it.

Speaker 3 (45:53):
Yeah. Now, last year you guys had an issue out
there at care. Did you guys ever take care of that.

Speaker 14 (45:59):
We are still working on it.

Speaker 9 (46:01):
Yeah, the county this year actually is thirty years in
Orange County. Thirty years we've been doing the same thing
in Orange County. And yeah, they said last year out
of nowhere before we had an open house, we had
to sign up for an events permit.

Speaker 14 (46:18):
Then they denied it. Right, and now we're jumping through
hoops they're asking us.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
So that's still going on.

Speaker 14 (46:23):
It's still going on now.

Speaker 9 (46:25):
Everyone we've talked to has been very helpful, but it's
a long process. You have to submit something and then
of course it takes forever.

Speaker 14 (46:32):
Right come back and yeah.

Speaker 9 (46:34):
And we don't there's a drop down bar and we
didn't fit in any of the criteria and the drop
down bar, so that was an issue.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
So how could that possibly be though, I mean it's
pretty obvious what you guys are. You're basically you're a reserve,
right or you're a rescue.

Speaker 9 (46:49):
Yeah, we're not hard to find. We've done things with
Orange County Sheriff's Department with.

Speaker 3 (46:53):
Why the pushback all of a sudden, we don't know,
and can you do the tours still?

Speaker 14 (46:57):
Well, we're still doing them.

Speaker 3 (46:59):
Okay, Okay, the wrong place to say. I don't know.

Speaker 14 (47:05):
Nobody said we couldn't.

Speaker 3 (47:06):
Yeah, yeah, that's fine.

Speaker 9 (47:07):
So yeah, but we're still jumping through hoops and trying
to get it all sorted out. And we understand that,
you know, there are some things that have to be
done and everything. But I mean, thirty years doing the same.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
Thing right, right, and you guys do tours where you
can actually be there when you feed the big cats
and stuff and be there when you do all that.
I mean, like that's amazing, right.

Speaker 14 (47:24):
Oh yeah, and you guys saying nobody gets to see usually.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
And you guys do real personal stuff like that where
it's like you get a personal tour guide to go
back there, watch them feed the cats and stuff, which
is bad ass. And that's that's actually how you guys
support the foundation, is it not?

Speaker 14 (47:35):
It is doing the tours.

Speaker 9 (47:37):
And I've got a school that I'm working with tomorrow
that I was at last Thursday. So schools and libraries
and then the private tours.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (47:44):
Man, we do special things for birthdays and anniversaries.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
And care actually stands for.

Speaker 9 (47:48):
Something creating animal respect education.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
Right right, And that's what the place is all about.
Just letting people understand. You know what these animals are about,
what their habitats are like, you know how they came
to be in that specific area. You know what you
can do to help out there, you know, conserve their
population things of that nature exactly.

Speaker 9 (48:04):
And the big thing is also what makes a good
pet and what doesn't right right right? So, and we
even have talked people through situations where they've gotten something
they think they have to give it up and we've
helped them work through it.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
What is the worst of those like when you when
you see the pet trade and you look at people
when they get pets other than like the BoA's, We
obviously are dealing with that in the Everglades, which has
become a python a travesty down there the pythons or whatever.
Is there another one like that where you people get
it and they think it's gonna be really cool and
then it becomes like overwhelming monkeys. It's monkeys. It's always right, yeah,
because they just they just were They desire so much.

Speaker 9 (48:37):
From you, right, Yeah, they're they're so intelligent, they need
It's like having a little kid that lives forty years
and hyped up.

Speaker 14 (48:44):
On Mountain dew and s thinker.

Speaker 3 (48:46):
Box the whole time. Sugar Gliders are.

Speaker 9 (48:49):
Like that, Oh my god, don't even talk about sugar
gly I have got two colonies.

Speaker 14 (48:54):
Of sugar gliers.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
Two colonies, yes.

Speaker 14 (48:57):
Suttest thing.

Speaker 9 (48:57):
This little lady calls me, right, says honey, I hope
you can help me. I'm like, what's going on? She says, Well,
I bought two sugar Gliders. And then a few weeks
later I show a friend of mine and there's four
sugar gliders, and then a little bit later they're six.

Speaker 14 (49:11):
They're like gremlins. They're all over the place.

Speaker 9 (49:14):
And yeah, sugar gliders will read a few times a year,
and they will have twins almost every single time.

Speaker 14 (49:19):
It's very rare that they don't have twins, so they
multiply so fast.

Speaker 3 (49:24):
Wow. So yeah, we have a couple of listeners that
have them and will come out and hang out with us,
and they're very adorable. But I've just heard that you
have to be around them all the time they like
grieve or something. If you're not there that it will
actually make them sick.

Speaker 14 (49:39):
Right right.

Speaker 9 (49:39):
What the thing is, and this is a lot of problems,
is the pet stores will sell them when they're already
bonded to other sugar gliders.

Speaker 14 (49:45):
Oh man, then they're not going to bond to a person.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
Right.

Speaker 9 (49:48):
You have to get them right out of the pouch
and you have to hand feed them and all that stuff.

Speaker 14 (49:53):
From the very early on.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
You have to like imprint on you specifically so you
can have a normal relationship, because if they form a
relationship with anything else, is that first and that's it?

Speaker 14 (50:00):
Yeah, that's it?

Speaker 16 (50:01):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
Or any of the cat breeds you see a lot
of these servial cats that go into homes as well.
Are some of those also like on that list where
you're like, man, you know, I wish I wouldn't have
done this.

Speaker 14 (50:11):
Yeah, no, that does happen.

Speaker 9 (50:12):
Severals bobcats, things like that because they're smaller cats and everything. Well,
what a lot of people don't think about is they
do need a lot of exercise, a lot.

Speaker 14 (50:20):
Of roaming room. And they were literally bounced we had.

Speaker 9 (50:23):
We were babysitting a friend's bobcat and every day I
brush my teeth and all of a sudden, I'm wearing
them right right right, literally on my shoulders and head right.
You'll walk in the kitchen, he's up on the refrigerator.
I mean, they need a lot of road right, And
I'll tell you what if they have a bad day,
everybody has a bad day, right, yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:41):
Yeah, So that's the thing is I've heard they're very temperamental,
and you don't want to be on the bad side
of one of those things. Because although they're small, I
think they don't get any more than like twenty pounds
or something like that. Right, although they're small, they are
even it's a wild animal. It's you know, yeah, it's vicious.

Speaker 14 (50:55):
I mean three or four times you can do it.

Speaker 3 (50:58):
It has to hunt for its food. It's not gonna
be your friend, right, But you will find people like
I do run some channels on my on my social
where you'll find people that find them as they're logging
or whatever, and they'll get left by a parent or whatever,
and then they wind up raising them. It looks real cool, right,
But I think those are the Those are the rare
cases where you have something like that. You can handle bond.

Speaker 9 (51:19):
With a person and everything, but that doesn't mean they're
going to bond with everybody in your family or anybody
that comes in.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
So if somebody had I mean, are you the place.
If somebody is listening right now they have one of those,
you know, animals that really they thought was gonna be
really cool because they saw it online. They like me,
they saw a couple channels and the monkey's bouncing around.
They're like, I want one of those things.

Speaker 6 (51:37):
It was cool for twenty minutes, and now it's not.

Speaker 3 (51:39):
And they realize I watch a three minute video and
this thing's you know, when I turn those video off,
it's still there.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (51:44):
Luckily here in Florida you need licenses for everything. Oh yeah,
but for instance, the Capuchins are a class three. You
can get a class three personal pet license. That is
insane to me. I mean, a capuchin should be at
least a class too. Really, Oh my god, what what
makes them unique. We have one a name Chop that

(52:04):
was brought in by the state. It was brought it
was taken away from the owner. All a five pound
monkey put somebody in the hospital for three days.

Speaker 3 (52:11):
No way, yes, way.

Speaker 9 (52:13):
And that's the one and only monkey that nobody is
allowed in with on our property.

Speaker 14 (52:18):
Really is that dangerous?

Speaker 3 (52:19):
Oh I know exactly what So a capuchin monkey? Oh man,
I'm gonna I'm gonna go deep here for you. Raiders
of the Lost Ark you remember, yeah, you remember the
the episode where he had the monkey that. It wasn't
Raiders of the Lost Ark. It was one of those
series of movies though, like Temple of Doom or something
like that. Yeah, where the monkey eats the poison fig. Yeah. Right,
that's a capuchin monkey.

Speaker 14 (52:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (52:39):
And Jack on Pirates of the Caribbean, Oh yeah that
also yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
Yeah. So they have a little their teethy little.

Speaker 9 (52:48):
Teeth like oh yeah yeah, And we've got several that
don't have front teeth and that doesn't matter. They will
deeply bruise you if they bite you really without teeth.

Speaker 3 (52:58):
Are they moody afs?

Speaker 9 (52:59):
The eight can be yeah really yeah, I mean but
they work both spiders and capuchins and spiders I find
are much easier to work.

Speaker 3 (53:07):
Really, that's my opinion. Yeah, wow, In what about what
about the big cats? Are I mean? Are they I mean,
do they even though they've been in captivity for that long,
do they form relationships with you guys? Or are they
just you know, it's a wild animal. You have the
meat and leave me alone if you don't have the meat.

Speaker 14 (53:23):
Yeah, no, I've got too that.

Speaker 9 (53:24):
Several of us go in with We've got Katrina or
we call her the tiny Tiger, And then are the
Liger the onlyl liiger in Florida. He's over eight hundred pounds.
I'm in with him every single day. He's kind of bougie.

Speaker 3 (53:38):
Really.

Speaker 14 (53:39):
I have to bring his food in on trey.

Speaker 9 (53:41):
But yeah, if I'm bringing in a twenty five pound turkey,
I make sure he's put out in his tunnel before
I bring it in the cage. And I won't be
in the cage with him, but yet I can hand
feed them small pieces of food.

Speaker 3 (53:52):
Really. Yeah, and how long has he been with you?

Speaker 9 (53:54):
He's been with me since he was three months old
and he's nine.

Speaker 3 (53:57):
Now, so I mean he's like having a house cat
for you.

Speaker 6 (54:00):
Pounds, yeah, big one.

Speaker 3 (54:01):
Yeah, you can play with him almost right, Yeah? Yeah,
oh man, how about that?

Speaker 10 (54:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (54:06):
No, he's super cool and everything.

Speaker 9 (54:08):
But anybody that goes in with him is aware, like
now that it's getting colder, they all get more energetic.
There might be a day where I look at him
and I'm like, gee, I'm just gonna feed you through.

Speaker 14 (54:18):
This last yeh eight pounds lying around the page. Accidents happen.

Speaker 3 (54:23):
All right, we're short on time. Tell people how they
can come out for a tour and then donate if
they want to help out the care Foundation.

every single Wednesday, around four twenty or so, we invite

(55:48):
this gentleman to stop by. He writes for The Orlando Sentinel.
You can read his columns Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. You guys,
give it up good loud for sweeteat mister Scott Maxwell,
Hey guys, how are you what Scott? How you doing, buddy.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
I'm hanging in there.

Speaker 3 (56:04):
I appreciate you asking well. I appreciate you coming on
today because you know, when I text you this morning,
it was more like, you know, wondering if you were gonna.
I know that you had written columns, but that didn't
mean that you were ready to come on the air.
So I appreciate you showing up.

Speaker 1 (56:18):
No, no, no, this was this was all good.

Speaker 12 (56:20):
And you had mentioned Yeah, I was not here last
week because my father passed away after a really long
and protracted illness. And as you mentioned, I wrote something
about it is a long battle with dementia because it's
pretty ugly, and one of the things that really struck
me was how many people responded. I mean hundreds of

(56:46):
people responded. A lot of them were just being one,
you know, nice human beings and offering condolences, but so
many wrote in to say they've been battling with the
same things, and they seized on one of the other
parts that I wrote about that it is crazy expensive
in this country to get sick and die.

Speaker 3 (57:04):
Yeah. Man, that's the thing that I saw in the
column that I thought was the more unique aspect of it.
Of course, everybody talks about the insidious nature of dementia
or any any disease that robs you of your memory
or your ability to remember your family, robs you of
your dignity, you know. Uh, those those things are so difficult,
especially you know, in a familial setting like you know,

(57:25):
I actually I said the collective Maxwell, because you know,
I was talking to my wife the other day. I said,
you know, Scott's family is really bound. I mean, these
guys have you know, fifty and sixty person reunions all
the time. The family is still very, very close. And
I know that you guys almost you know, kind of
did this as a family. You and I have had
conversations off the air about it, and it was a

(57:46):
family situation, you know, kind of gathering on your dad,
and you know, you said something kind of unique, and
I'm I'm going to bring it up, and and I
hope you don't mind. Oh no, but you you said
you said this, and I found it. I found it.
It was it was it was I understood, but it
sounded odd. But I do understand. When I text how

(58:09):
sorry I was for you and your family, you said
it's finally over. And you know, based on the conversation
that you and I had had over the last couple
of years since your father was stricken with this, I
completely understood what you meant by that because I can
hear other people kind of saying the same things, and
I read a number of the comments on the Facebook
posts you put up about it, and it seemed that

(58:30):
that that was kind of reflected a lot in the comments.

Speaker 12 (58:34):
Yeah, so I and I should say, I know that
both you and Jack are intimately painfully familiar with the
process of losing a parent and relative recent years, But
for all intents and purposes, I lost my dad like
eight years.

Speaker 15 (58:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (58:48):
Yeah, he got struck with It's called fronto temporal dementia,
also known as FTD, and it basically it's not your
typical Alzheimer's.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
It's not forgetting things.

Speaker 12 (58:58):
It robs your brain and your boi of the ability
to do anything. So he hasn't been able to feed himself,
he hasn't been able to go to the bathroom, he
hasn't been able to speak, he hasn't been able to
do any of that for years. And this is a
guy who was really smart. He was president of the
North Carolina State Bar. He was a high school Hall

(59:19):
of Fame coach for thirty years, coaching a swim team
to five state championships. I mean, he was a coveted speaker,
and now he's a guy who only opened his mouth
to occasionally mouthwards of Christmas songs for to have pureaid
meatloafs shoveled into it. And my kids they're not seeing
you know who their grandfather was a man who mentored thousands,

(59:43):
literally thousands of people. And that's pretty painful. And then
what you get to do in exchange for all that
is pay an insane amount of money. The average for
paying for round the care, around the clock care or
someone in a memory unit is about one hundred and
twenty thousand dollars a year, oh man. And I got

(01:00:05):
to tell you that's the basic that's for sharing a
room with somebody. It's like one hundred and fifty one
hundred and eighty two hundred is pretty standard.

Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
And what I heard from so many.

Speaker 12 (01:00:15):
People was we saved, you know, we did everything we
thought was right. But what if your parent is like
my dad, and in that care for eight years.

Speaker 1 (01:00:25):
Do you have that much.

Speaker 10 (01:00:26):
Money locked away?

Speaker 12 (01:00:28):
Most of the people in this facility, their families went bankrupt.
They literally go bankrupt, paying to have this sorry existence
going on.

Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
And it's painful.

Speaker 12 (01:00:38):
My mom went twice a day every day for seven
or eight years. Yeah, yeah, to see a man that
she barely recognized him anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
Yeah, we were.

Speaker 3 (01:00:47):
I was glad that.

Speaker 12 (01:00:48):
That was that part was over, because he wasn't happy.
Nobody was happy. Nothing of him was left, right.

Speaker 3 (01:00:54):
Yeah, yeah, you know my mom. You know, the schizophrenia
took my mom. And I can easily say, you know,
years before her physical death. I mean her her you know,
her mentality and her ability to rationalize and have a
normal life had left her years before. It was not
like that, And I you know, I can't compare to that,
but I can. I also can. I can relate to this.

(01:01:17):
So on my wife's side, her grandmother is going through
that the thing now where the memory is starting to slip,
and you're one hundred percent right. They're moving to Mississippi
and she's gonna wind up living with them until you know,
the inevitable. But here in town for about a year
or maybe just a few months here, actually eight months.
I believe they had her in a facility. And the

(01:01:40):
magic question from those facilities is this, and the magic
question is if there is a memory aspect to your
person's disability, that that is that is that magic word.
That's that's like saying yes, I'll have cavia with my Hamburger.
Because the price goes from like you're saying, twenty five

(01:02:00):
hundred or three thousand a month for that regular care
while sharing a room, you know, into the eight and
ten thousand dollars a month range because of the round
o'clock memory care.

Speaker 12 (01:02:09):
I'll just be candid with you. My mother paid fifteen
thousand dollars a month for my father's care. So you
do the math on that twelve months a year, that
comes out to one hundred and eighty and like I said,
about seven eight years of that. And this was very
good care, but it was not palatial. There were still
staffing issues. They're still being served by, you know, workers

(01:02:32):
who are not making decent money. It's just a it's
a sorry situation. And when you talked about your mom
moving into a family member, man, God bless that family member.

Speaker 1 (01:02:45):
That is rough.

Speaker 12 (01:02:46):
That is really rough. No matter how much you love
your parent. It is exhausting. It is draining, both emotionally
and financially, and there have been studies that show it
oftens like it can shorten the life of the caretaker.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
Yes, because it's just so much, there's no break.

Speaker 3 (01:03:03):
It's overwhelming. And as a matter of fact, one of
the aspects of it is, you know, she lived with
them for a while and then they had to have
people come in and they thought to themselves, it's probably
better if she was in a facility that could have
people to take care of her around the clock and
make sure she's fine. What turned out happening is is
she didn't wind up trusting the caretakers, so she wound

(01:03:24):
up up there twice a day, all the time anyway,
kind of overseeing the care that she was getting. And
it wasn't like it was bad or or it wasn't
like it had slipped. The fact was she just didn't know,
and rather then, you know, be away, she decided to
move her back in so that she could keep an
eye on her. And it is, and it's overwhelming.

Speaker 12 (01:03:42):
It is, and there are a lot of people who
don't want to put their parents in a full time
facility because they feel guilty.

Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
They feel like that's exact abandoning their obligation.

Speaker 12 (01:03:52):
But I got to tell you those places if you
can't afford it, and there are places also that if
you go bankrupt, they'll still care for you.

Speaker 1 (01:03:59):
If you can for they're going to.

Speaker 12 (01:04:00):
Do a better job than you are, and you are
going to be a better caretaker.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
If you don't have to do that twenty four hour,
seven days a week, you're probably going to live longer.
I do it.

Speaker 12 (01:04:10):
I will say this though in today's piece, I did
a little follow up that I think I shared with you.
There were a lot of good things that came out
of this. As I said, my father was.

Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
A volunteer high school coach. He you know, he had.

Speaker 12 (01:04:23):
A successful law practice, but back in the seventies he
realized they didn't have a swim team, so he just
volunteered to start one and coach it.

Speaker 1 (01:04:31):
And he did that for thirty years.

Speaker 12 (01:04:32):
He got up at four forty five every morning, coach
from five thirty to seven.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
And yeah, that's what.

Speaker 4 (01:04:39):
Yes, Yeah, I love the part where it's like this
gear is so rough. When he was leaving, he didn't
knock on your door to say you had to be
ready to go. It wasn't like Scott five minutes, I'm out,
you know. It was he was going and you just
had to be there.

Speaker 3 (01:04:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:04:57):
He always said that if you are going to be
the children of a coach, and all three of his
kids swam or dough for him. He always said, if
you're going to be the chill child of a coach,
you're going to either get it easier or you're gonna
get it tougher.

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
And he said, and you are not going to get
it easier.

Speaker 12 (01:05:11):
And so when he left at five o'clock, he would
walk right by my bedroom door. And if I wasn't
up and ready to go, it would be my job
to call and try to arrange another ride.

Speaker 1 (01:05:23):
And keep in mind, this was back in the eighties.

Speaker 12 (01:05:24):
There ain't cell phones, so you're calling on a rotary,
waking up everybody else in somebody else's house.

Speaker 1 (01:05:29):
My dad left me.

Speaker 3 (01:05:30):
Again, I was up late. My dad left me. Yeah,
my dad left me.

Speaker 12 (01:05:35):
But I heard from so many people, and like I said,
he was a great coach. Five state championships, that's that's
a pretty big deal. But the most some of the
most meaningful notes I got were from the worst slowest
swimmers that ever went through that program.

Speaker 1 (01:05:50):
They said they remembered finishing a meet and they were the.

Speaker 12 (01:05:53):
Last, literally the last person out of the pool, and
that my dad was standing at the back, jumping up
and down and going.

Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
You just set a new personal best.

Speaker 12 (01:06:02):
And and I think one of the things that really
blew my mind is when I wrote that column, there
were three people here in Orlando who said they'd been
reading my columns for a year and didn't realize until
that column that my father was their high school.

Speaker 3 (01:06:15):
Oh how crazy is that? What a small world you're.

Speaker 1 (01:06:18):
Talking about thirty years removed, four.

Speaker 12 (01:06:22):
States away, and they're saying, let me tell you about
the impact your dad had. I mean, that's a nice
thing to be told, and it helps.

Speaker 1 (01:06:29):
Us remember you know who he was. Yeah, yeah, who
we saw for the last yeah five day years.

Speaker 3 (01:06:33):
Yeah, that legacy is what you got to That's obviously
what you have to cement in your mind. Is that legacy?
For sure? I did want to ask, though, you know,
as I'm looking over the Texan Service while we're talking
to see what kind of feedback we're getting, So you said,
you know, it's like one hundred and fifty thousand a
year or something like that. So you know, people are like,
so insurance doesn't come into play or any of that.
I mean, insurance doesn't take care of any of that

(01:06:55):
Scott or anything like that. I mean, how how is
that so expensive? I mean, obviously her father, you know,
had a successful career, he more than likely had health insurance.
I mean, how does that work out?

Speaker 8 (01:07:05):
What?

Speaker 3 (01:07:05):
That word's so stupid expensive?

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):
It's it's it's complicated.

Speaker 12 (01:07:09):
And I don't want people to completely freak out because
I will tell you this. And my parents and my
father's facility, for instance, they had a rule that said
no one gets kicked out. But what that means is
that after your family goes bankrupt, nobody gets kicked out,
and then you go on. Then you become subsidized by
both both nations and the government. The government does pay

(01:07:32):
for some of these things through Medicaid and Medicare.

Speaker 1 (01:07:34):
It is it is not what I think most I.

Speaker 12 (01:07:38):
Think the way the way the woman at the Alzheimer's
and Dementia Resource Center said, and that's a great, by
the way, resource for anybody here. They're in winter Park,
all a DRC Alzheimer Dimension Resource Center. She said, what
most basic plans and government will cover is not something
to kind of carry you would want for your pet. Yeah,
so and we're talking, we're talking about your parents. There

(01:08:00):
is also long term care, which is a great investment,
but you got to get it early. And what that
means is you're paying a certain amount until you get
there and then if you need long term care, they're
going to pay, but those benefits run out if you
don't get it early.

Speaker 1 (01:08:13):
Gets costly. It's getting more expensive by the year.

Speaker 12 (01:08:16):
So yeah, you're not going to be left on the
side of the road, but unless you've got some arrangements made,
you're probably not going to have the kind of care
that you want for your paer.

Speaker 3 (01:08:25):
Yeah, my mom was the facility. My mom was in.
She was only there for a couple months before you know,
the inevitable. But that was the thing with her, is
you know obviously she didn't you know, she died pennyless.
My mom didn't you know. She was a bank teller
her entire life, never really strive to be anything kind
of more than that. I mean, it was just, you know,
a good job in her hometown, but really had no

(01:08:46):
savings of any note or any you know, retirement plan
or anything like that. And what we experienced is this,
they said, well, we just take all of her Social
Security check except for like fifty bucks or something like
that a month. They just take everything that she has.
They leave her fifty dollars for like incidentals there at
the room if you want to get snacks or whatever

(01:09:07):
the case may be. But that's basically it, and that
was the plan. That was all. That was all. I mean,
it never really had to come to that because she
didn't make it that long. But you know it, because
they see this all the time and you're dealing with
the first time. The delivery of that message isn't soft.
They don't talk to you like you're the only person

(01:09:28):
that's ever dealt with this, even though in your world
you're the only person that's ever dealt with it. That
was also that was also a bit of a shock,
is how callous the places were when it comes to
talking about the end of you know, one of the
most important people in your life, the life and it
was it was a bit of a traumatic scenario, to
be honest with you.

Speaker 12 (01:09:47):
It is and I think so many people feel so alone,
like you just said, like they're the only the first people.

Speaker 1 (01:09:52):
They know to experience this.

Speaker 12 (01:09:53):
In reality, the numbers are to show that like one
out of every nine people are going to ultimately, if
they live long enough, have cognitive decline. And the latest
numbers show one out of every five women. That's a
that's a that's a breathtaking number, and it only seems
to be getting higher. This country is going to have
a tsunami of people with memory illnesses, and I don't

(01:10:15):
think this country is very equipped. And that was part
of the other reason I wanted to write about this,
because this is a big issue that I don't think
enough people are talking about, and certainly not enough of
this state nation's leaders are talking about. And it is
going to be a tsunami of problems if we don't
get our.

Speaker 3 (01:10:28):
Hands don well Man, Well listen. I appreciate you being
so candid about it, Scott. I know it's difficult talking
about things like this, and but you're part of our life,
You're part of the you're part of Orlando's culture in life,
so you know, I just I thank you for being
so candid and sharing.

Speaker 1 (01:10:44):
Well, it was I'm happy to talk about.

Speaker 12 (01:10:47):
I appreciate you asking and I was overwhelmed by the response.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
It was probably the.

Speaker 12 (01:10:51):
First time and I don't know how many years where
I got two hundred plus emails in response to something
and nobody.

Speaker 4 (01:10:56):
Called me a douche canoo, no one.

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
I take you one week out two and fifty people.

Speaker 3 (01:11:04):
Yeah, I'm sorry, my computer was broken that day. My pologies,
give it a week. It'll be back, no worry.

Speaker 12 (01:11:08):
Yeah, yeah, thank you, Brian, thank you for your sympathies.
I know, by the way, by the way, I couldn't help,
but notice that the keyword leading into Scott's talking about
his dead dad was.

Speaker 3 (01:11:19):
Happy, right, yea yeah, And I don't know what I'm
doing coming out of this. I'm gonna be honest with you,
no idea where I'm going, and we may we may
take off the rest of the day. Not even sure.

Speaker 1 (01:11:26):
Today's word is bankrupt.

Speaker 3 (01:11:29):
All right, you guys, get it up. Good life for
Scott match Yeah, Wednesday, Thursdays and Sundays. You can read
his column right there in the Orlando Sentinel. Grab your
subscription dirt cheap and worth having Orlando Sentinel dot com.
Scott has always be good. We'll see you next week.

Speaker 1 (01:11:42):
Take care.

Speaker 3 (01:11:43):
You're the best budding all right four oh seven nine
one six four one. Text us at seven seven zero
three one. You're four o'clock. Heyword is happy? H A
p P y. Just go to real radio dot FM
and send that away for your chance at one thousand dollars.
A restaurant chain is making a comeback jack, let's go.
I'll let you know who it is next.

Speaker 17 (01:12:14):
Hey, guys, I hope you guys are doing well. Man,
I feel so bad for Scotton Mexwell. I had to
deal with that with my grandmother. It was super bad.
But you know, he's in a better place now. I'm
super scared of dealing with that with my parents.

Speaker 5 (01:12:27):
Man.

Speaker 17 (01:12:28):
Hopefully it works out on the best way. And again, Scott,
if you're listening, God bless you man. Thanks by Thanks Mom.

Speaker 10 (01:12:36):
It's a trick.

Speaker 6 (01:12:37):
It's very tricky to care for somebody with alsh owners.

Speaker 18 (01:12:41):
Maybe they play music, which is a really strange direct
outlet for him.

Speaker 10 (01:12:48):
But plus you're Scott, sorry about your loss, sir.

Speaker 19 (01:12:52):
Hey, how's it, Ohanna. We're a little p s A
here for you for those that need care for their
elderly Alzheimer's or not. We were introduced to an attorney
in Altamont, Murphy and Bergland. Hardest decision we ever had
to make, but we could not provide the care that

(01:13:12):
my mom needed in a skilled nursing facility. Establish a
qualified income trust. Look into it. It will help.

Speaker 3 (01:13:20):
Aloha aloha brother. All right, welcome back to the Jim
Colbert Show. We'll ready one ozer four point one. I'm Jim.
There's Brian Grime.

Speaker 8 (01:13:28):
And what's up?

Speaker 3 (01:13:29):
Man Jack is here as well. Yeah, tomorrow Ross will
be in for a couple of days, Thursday and Friday.
That if you haven't heard, that's his new days. No
more tuesdays for Ross's schedule done allowed in twenty twenty six,
So we'll see him on Thursdays and Fridays close out
the weekend. Going in.

Speaker 4 (01:13:45):
We will be talking to him today at six o'clock.
We will get an update on what's on good good songs.
Yeah week Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:13:51):
And you know a number of people in the taxi
service are like, you know, a bummer, bummer bummer, and
you know we do you know, funny doodoo poo poo
stuff all the time. And when Scott texta this morning,
he actually gave me options to not talk about this today.
And I couldn't even think about doing that, like, there's
no way possible. If he wanted to that, I wouldn't
have talked about the situation with Scott and his father,

(01:14:12):
because what.

Speaker 4 (01:14:13):
If anyone's complaining about that segment kiss my ass Yeah, yeah,
no in the program director, email me directly, I will
tell you kiss my ass that.

Speaker 3 (01:14:20):
The fact is just like sometimes you have to broadcast
things like that. You know it's it, and again it's
not our responsibility to do it, but I do feel like,
you know, Scott's a big part of Orlando's culture and
history over the last three decades, He's a big part
of Real Radio's history, over the culture or almost the
history of the station. He's had a voice on this
radio station, and I would feel it like almost disingenuous

(01:14:43):
to have him if he wanted to be able to
speak about that, not speak about it, regardless of the
message or how it may make you feel, because a
lot of people in our audience are going to go
through that. You just heard our buddy Mo Mo was
going to go through that. A lot of people in
our audience are our age. That means our parents are
movie into those ages, and these things are inevitable.

Speaker 4 (01:15:02):
A lot of people in the Sandwich generation now with
parents and kids both at home, and I disagree with you.
I think it is our responsibility on touchstones like that,
things that affect all of us and have such a
profound effect on the lives of people who go through that.
It is if you go home every night and just
can go home and relax, and that is your escape,

(01:15:25):
God bless you enjoy it. But for those people with
parents that they care for or special needs children, you
go home and that's a different world, and there is
a level of stress and it just tears at you,
and there can be sometimes your only escape is going.

Speaker 3 (01:15:42):
To work, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.

Speaker 4 (01:15:44):
So I just think it's a vitally important topic. I
think it's a problem that's only going to get larger
in our community, and I actually think we do have
a responsibility to kind of meet that one.

Speaker 3 (01:15:54):
Yeah, Brian, some complaining.

Speaker 5 (01:15:55):
Yes, I retract my email, right, fair enough, fair enough, this.

Speaker 6 (01:16:00):
Is the worst day. Don't ever invite me back.

Speaker 15 (01:16:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:16:04):
Yeah, it's just one of those things. Man, you got
to talk about stuff like this because that's how you
have to. It's cathartic.

Speaker 6 (01:16:09):
I lost I look, I've lost both of my parents really.

Speaker 5 (01:16:11):
Yeah, So I mean that's why I sit back and
I just let Scott go, because I mean they should have.

Speaker 3 (01:16:15):
Put on them. Yeah. It's interesting because when you when
you do deal with a mental issue like that, it
is you do lose them in advance, and then of
course you're dealing with just you know, somebody who doesn't
recognize you. That the grandmother I mentioned earlier remembers literally
three people in her life, and it's her daughter and

(01:16:36):
my wife and my and my daughter, one of my daughters,
her her biological grandchild. Those are the only three people
in the in the in my daughter, she is in
and out with her, she will she'll sometime. My my
wife literally has to remind her grandmother sometimes who she is.
And then I remember this. I was at a birthday
party she was at not even probably three months ago,

(01:16:57):
and instead of come up going up to her and
say HAYI mom, giving her a hug, I just shook
her hand and said I am Jim because I knew
for a fact I didn't want to put the pressure
on her of having to try to remember who I was,
because they say that that causes great stress because they
don't know and they get frustrated.

Speaker 4 (01:17:14):
They used to see my mom get so frustrated when
she couldn't remember something, and she did not have the
memory issues or dementia. Instead, she kept most of her mind.
But as her body was breaking down in her nineties.
You know, that's the other positive about growing old. If
something's not you know, falling apart, something else is.

Speaker 3 (01:17:32):
Yeah, but there is.

Speaker 4 (01:17:35):
For people who are taking care of people at home,
investigate hospice and don't think you know what hospice is
until you really investigate it. Because I learned about it
and it was such a help helping when we were
caring for my mom at home. Just it took so
much of the edge off, so much of the pressure.

(01:17:57):
Whereas their needs grow, suddenly you feel like they need
more than what you can provide just because you don't
want to do the right thing. Then the care becomes
more constant, and when hospice comes in and sometimes it's
covered in Medicare. So it's just that's something worth investigating
out A friend us turned me onto it because I thought, oh, hospital,

(01:18:18):
that's when they tell you your terminal and you go
home and die.

Speaker 3 (01:18:21):
That's not it. That's actually not all actually, you know,
a friend I have whose father, whose wife's father lives
with him. He's one hundred and three years old, but
still does like crosswords and watches, even hangs out up,
feeds himself the whole nine yards, walks around, has a pet.
But he's getting to the point where moving around is
a little dangerous for him. So they do have people
that come in three times a week, I believe, to

(01:18:44):
help and sit with him and take care of him
so he can so he can do that. But that's
an in house thing.

Speaker 4 (01:18:48):
And sometimes it's providing a hospital bed or just a visit.
It could be meals. You know, there are so many
different levels of it. And it was explained to me
it's not that someone who's about to die. It's more
if they have a condition where it wouldn't be out
of the ordinary for them to pass within the next
six months, right then they qualify for hospice.

Speaker 3 (01:19:08):
However, they could be on it for years.

Speaker 4 (01:19:11):
Doesn't mean they have to die in six They could
be on it for years, and it's just it was
such a helpful time as taking care of my mom
just got more and more stressful more for my wife
who was always at home. You know, again, I had
the escape of coming to work where my wife was
always felt like it never still is bigger than me.

Speaker 3 (01:19:30):
Oh yeah. A matter of fact, somebody just texted and says,
as a caretaker, it is crazy stressful and work is
all caps, absolutely an escape. Yeah, all right, we'll take
at break back in a second.

Speaker 16 (01:19:44):
Hey, Happy Wednesday. Everyone sounds like an interesting show line
up there in o'calla. What's even more interesting than me
is hearing an old boy from West Virginia pronounced Shenandoah
as Shenandoah.

Speaker 10 (01:19:58):
Thanks for that, Jimmy, that was awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:20:00):
I lived in West Virginia for like eighteen months.

Speaker 8 (01:20:02):
Can.

Speaker 20 (01:20:02):
I was just on the rock country website. Half the
artist you mentioned are not playing. The ocalidate Kid Rock's
not there, Creed's not there. Really, definitely make sure you're
double checking those dates before you buy tickets if you're
looking so.

Speaker 3 (01:20:14):
Oh, thank you, thanks for the heads up. I didn't
see that, Yo, what up?

Speaker 21 (01:20:18):
Jcs Hey that nice lady from care I think it
was called this sound. I swear to guys he sounded
just like Detective Barb. But she made me laugh. My
ass off man, Jim said, no way. She said, yes way.

Speaker 10 (01:20:33):
That has a good time.

Speaker 3 (01:20:35):
You might appreciate it.

Speaker 10 (01:20:35):
Me.

Speaker 3 (01:20:36):
Yeah, she's cool. Oh I almost said that's words. She's
super cool. She could not be cool if you want
to honestly, if you wanted to help a foundation out.
And it's funny. Our buddy Evil I had calls up.
We got sounds like a cartoon all the time. He
actually said that he donated right before Christmas for those guys,
and you could do that as well. They are a
wonderful organization. She's a great, great gal and we love

(01:20:58):
having them out as much as possible.

Speaker 5 (01:20:59):
I realized that been there before when she was talking
about the liger. Yeah, that thing is the biggest animal
you've ever seen, bro.

Speaker 3 (01:21:05):
She showed a picture of me like during the break
she showed a picture. I'm like, is that thing really
eight hundred pounds? It's like the size of it like
a small horse. She said, just stand there for a second.
She goes on her phone, brings up a picture of
this thing's head. Its head is as big as horror.
Entire body from the knees up, so huge.

Speaker 4 (01:21:23):
She was saying, the liger, Yeah, wait, a liger is
lyon and tiger?

Speaker 3 (01:21:28):
Yes, what's a liger too? Well? I don't know. I
think it's just the French version of that.

Speaker 5 (01:21:33):
Yeah, I don't know, because I thought it was just well,
it's very pretentious.

Speaker 3 (01:21:38):
A llama and a tight yeah yeah, yeah, means the liger. Yeah,
all right.

Speaker 4 (01:21:44):
And what I always thought there was a fake animal
from a Napoleon Diabeta.

Speaker 3 (01:21:47):
Yeah, no, it's not.

Speaker 5 (01:21:48):
I did too until I went there, and then she
explained not really, as a lion and the tiger can.

Speaker 3 (01:21:52):
And you see how big it is, and it's like
it looks fake, it looks photoshop. The head of that thing.
She could not wrap her hands around it. Yeah, like
if she wanted to, like hug get like a bear hugged,
she could not touch her fingers. It's that big. By
the way, you're five o'clock. You were just pay p
A y. You go to real radio don FM and
send that on for your chance at one thousand bucks.
That's p a Y pay guys, good luck. We hope
you went. I'm Jim Brian Grimes here hello, saying Jack

(01:22:14):
is here as well. What restaurant from like the eighties
and nineties by Rodgers? You know that's such a good
guess you remember Racks. I don't Is that a rib place? No,
it was a barbecue or like a beef sandwich place,
like an Arbi's.

Speaker 5 (01:22:30):
Was it rex Rack?

Speaker 3 (01:22:32):
I think it was rack a X. I believe Tony
romas a place for rib That's that's another great guess.
Notes on coming back. No, but I will tell you
this place was the spot for a hot minute. Quincy's
big fact. You think you no, no, no happy hours?
You couldn't Fridays is the answer.

Speaker 5 (01:22:50):
It's gone, TGA. I didn't know what was gone.

Speaker 3 (01:22:56):
You're kidding me, you do, I know, TJ. Fridays is gone.
You don't know?

Speaker 6 (01:22:59):
Then you some close down.

Speaker 5 (01:23:01):
But I used to go to the one by Sea
World all the time and it was still opened up
until not too long ago.

Speaker 3 (01:23:06):
Let me tell you that place back in the day,
back in the nineties, if you weren't at a Fridays
for a happy hour on Wednesdays and Fridays, you weren't
even a human.

Speaker 5 (01:23:14):
So the one in Ultimont was my favorite one. That
was before they went super like Cookie Cutter and they
made it all the same. That place was so cool
because some crazy memorabilia I wasn't pack Clark.

Speaker 3 (01:23:25):
It is still standing at the bar there.

Speaker 5 (01:23:27):
I was gonna say, I wasn't in media in any
form at the time, but you would go in there
and see Danny Traynor and all the local news people
hanging out him like this place is Dude.

Speaker 3 (01:23:35):
Friday's was the and I will tell you it went
from there to Jungle Gyms down on Church Street.

Speaker 5 (01:23:40):
I love Jungle Gym, but Dude Fridays was the spot.

Speaker 3 (01:23:43):
Yes, it's hard to explain to people who were like,
you know, maybe either twenty late twenties or early thirties,
that are is there even a spot like that anymore?
Is there even a place where young business people meet
for happy hours afterwards? Because nobody does that like Benningans
or any place. I mean, those is the idea of
It's kind of gone. But man, back in the nineties,
like that's what we did. We went to Fridays for

(01:24:06):
Wednesday's Happy Hour and Friday Happy Hour.

Speaker 5 (01:24:08):
Well, They're big thing was it may be Wednesday, but
in here it's away, right.

Speaker 3 (01:24:13):
Yeah. Yeah, this is a founded in nineteen sixty five.
You guys know what city. It was founded in Cleveland.
That's such a terrible guest. Thank you.

Speaker 6 (01:24:23):
Let's see Fort Lauderdale.

Speaker 3 (01:24:25):
New York City became a house too obvious, became a
household name by serving classic American bar food and offering
popular happy hour drink deals intended to make every day
feel like Friday, and for decades well, the brand was
portrayed itself as a lively escape or guests could relax
and enjoy indulgent food and the wine. And they nailed it. Yeah,
because I'm telling you that's exactly what it was all about. Yeah,

(01:24:47):
what is the Fridays now? What is that? Like Bahama
Breeze used to have that? Gup? That was a good
happy hour for a minute.

Speaker 6 (01:24:54):
Like the drum guy on the patio and Alehouse not Alehouse.

Speaker 3 (01:24:58):
But we hear Bahama Breeze. Why be around much longer? Yeah? Yeah,
I think they're shuddering in those Yeah. Yeah, I think
Alhouse became the spot for a minute. I think Alhouses
actually may still be the spot, might be.

Speaker 9 (01:25:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:25:08):
Yeah. This is Friday's Chapter eleven bankruptcy. It's aid. In
twenty twenty four, Friday's began closing down dozens of underperforming
restaurants nationwide, describing the move as a strategic effort to
streamline all throughout the year. They closed about fifty locations,
and then now they're starting to kind of come back.
They said they filed for Chapter eleven bankruptcy thirty seven

(01:25:29):
million and then debt, but apparently they are facing some challenges.
But they're going to make a shot at it again
and give it another shot, so we'll see how it goes.

Speaker 5 (01:25:38):
They need to go back to the og like where
everything's kind of different and there's weird stuff hanging on
the wall and not like the corporate everything looks the same.

Speaker 3 (01:25:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I mean, well it was new
to us back then.

Speaker 6 (01:25:50):
That was the allure to it, is that right?

Speaker 5 (01:25:51):
It felt kind of like this weird homie like a
Cheers type situation. Maybe you were sitting in.

Speaker 3 (01:25:56):
It, and the thing is is because everybody else you
knew went there. Yeah, it was like the gathering spot.

Speaker 9 (01:26:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:26:01):
Now there are so many of those places in Orlando
that are local. I don't think any of those chains
like have a chance to kind of revive that vibe
that a Friday's had. I think it's almost kind of
ghost to go to a Friday's now if you're in Orlando,
when because of all the great food and bar spots
we have.

Speaker 5 (01:26:16):
Yeah, and You almost have to make it something that
you could post on social media.

Speaker 6 (01:26:21):
It's crazy, but that's what people do.

Speaker 5 (01:26:22):
So if you're friday Z, unless you go old school
where they're crazy stuff on the walls.

Speaker 3 (01:26:26):
As Friday is introducing their new turnaround strategy called one
two to three Strategic Vision, plans to generate two billion
in revenue and expand the brand to more than one
thousand restaurants worldwide by two thousand and thirty. They're going
to activate the brand, which is create memorable guest experiences,
flexible growth, strengthening in a franchise system, and fueling performance
that are people. What they need to do is just

(01:26:48):
bring back that nineties vibe that anything could go in
a restaurant.

Speaker 5 (01:26:50):
There's a clown making balloon, animals, you never know what's
going to happen.

Speaker 3 (01:26:54):
You could see anything, you could see safety from sales,
do some stuff never ever seen done before. I mean
it used to get loose up in there.

Speaker 6 (01:27:02):
Dude and the sizzling chicken.

Speaker 5 (01:27:03):
Bring that back.

Speaker 10 (01:27:04):
That was.

Speaker 3 (01:27:05):
Do you know what the big drink was back then?
Let me see if I can. Do you remember what
I remember from Fridays as being the drink If you
were a girl, and I bet money you don't have
any idea what it is. Well you may because you're
an alcoholic guy. You're an alcoholic. He's got his own rum.
I mean, knows this tough. It's I'll tell you what.
The liquor starts with an M. And if you nail this,

(01:27:27):
I'm gonna be I'm gonna highive year r sour. Give
it right here, dude, give it. If you were a
chick in the nineties, I could order a drink from you,
I would have. I could have never met you, and
I can look at you and go, girl, I think
you want a Mandori sour and boom, that's exactly what
it was, and boom, boom, and.

Speaker 5 (01:27:47):
Then he does the double guns.

Speaker 3 (01:27:51):
If there's another one, a peach one, what was the name?
You are destroying it.

Speaker 5 (01:27:58):
I used the happy hour at all these places. I
worked at best Buy in Circuit City in ultimat right
right there would we would go as a group and
we would do I paid interest on rounds of drinks
for eight years on Cutter Class. I've been paying off
Long islandized teas for years.

Speaker 3 (01:28:15):
I don't think I ever ate there. I swear to God,
I don't drink. No, I know exactly what I used
to do. I would go and order potato skins because
they had dope ass potatoes.

Speaker 5 (01:28:23):
Yes, they were like boats with bacon and cheese were
pretty good too, and they were like flat bars.

Speaker 4 (01:28:28):
Yeah, Texas says they were a manager for Friday. Here
comes to Double Slam manager for Fridays for a long time.
They left because they lost their soul. They used to
be a cool bar with interesting food. Then it became Applebee's. Yeah, yeah,
that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (01:28:43):
They all went cookie cutter.

Speaker 5 (01:28:44):
Put this picture on the wall.

Speaker 6 (01:28:45):
Put this picture on the wall.

Speaker 5 (01:28:47):
I remember you would walk into the one in Autimont
and there's a bob sled hanging in the corner, or
a trombone or just something stupid that made no sense.

Speaker 3 (01:28:55):
That was what was cool, and that was what the
whole office space flair thing that was based on Friday.
Was it not alive?

Speaker 6 (01:29:01):
Yeah it was. It was a mix of those, but yeah,
basically Friday.

Speaker 3 (01:29:04):
It was basically mocking the Applebee's Fridays, Bennigan's, what are
those other bags? Steak and Ale. But staking it wasn't
like that.

Speaker 6 (01:29:10):
It was a little more fancy.

Speaker 3 (01:29:11):
It was a little more fancy. They had a salad bar. Yeah,
they felt themselves a little bit.

Speaker 5 (01:29:15):
Then you knew it was They've brought you a knife
with your steak because it had you have to have
a special knife for the steak.

Speaker 3 (01:29:20):
I remember going one time. I went, oh, we cold plates?
Who's gonna cold plates for their salady? Super fancy? Can
we afford this place? Yeah, Friday's is going to continue
to invest in menu and bever beverage innovations. I'll go
enhance in store and we should bring it back. Dude,
I'm down. I am so down. If Friday comes around
and we had a request, I will straight up do

(01:29:42):
a throwback nineties party about five.

Speaker 6 (01:29:44):
Second happy hours at Fridays, the first.

Speaker 3 (01:29:46):
Round of Madori sours on me?

Speaker 5 (01:29:47):
Right, all right?

Speaker 3 (01:29:49):
Four O seven nine one six one four one. You
can always text us seven seven zero three one. Pay
is your five o'clock keyword, that's pa y. Go to
real radio dot M and send that away for your
chance at one thousand dollars. There's a gubernatorial candidate. His
name is James Fishback, and he wants to institute a
fifty percent tax on something. I'll tell you what it

(01:30:10):
is Next.

Speaker 2 (01:30:19):
Still to come, we find out what's in the good
Sauce with Ross Paget today at six on The Jim
Colbert Show.

Speaker 22 (01:30:31):
So, when I was nineteen years old, my dad and
I worked opposite shifts at work so that we could
be at home opposite shifts to take care of my
mom who was dying of cancer. And so for two
years we took care of her at home while she
was in at home hospice. And then about almost ten
years ago, now I lost my dad to cancer and

(01:30:53):
he was at a hospice center, which was fantastic. They
were able to take great care of him. And now
I find myself having to take care of my fifty
eight year old brother who has a degenerative brain disease.
And I was able, luckily to find a private home
for him after I was trying to take care of

(01:31:14):
him for about six months, my wife and I and
he's a big dude, and to the level of care
that was needed I couldn't provide. So we found a
private home for him. And it's a tough decision, man. Sorry, Jack,
I know two of these were enough and a third is.

Speaker 5 (01:31:35):
A little overkill.

Speaker 22 (01:31:36):
But all of that while having an eleven year old
with special needs living at home with us.

Speaker 3 (01:31:42):
So yeah, it gets tough. Yeah, yeah. I think Scott's
call struck a nerve and you can see that on
the texting service. Even though his call was an hour ago,
we were still getting text you know about his dad
passing in the dementia as that.

Speaker 4 (01:32:00):
Yeah, and all the people who have something similar in
their lives. And if you did miss it, it's available
as a standalone podcast.

Speaker 3 (01:32:07):
Jim Colbert showed the goods. It's up there now.

Speaker 4 (01:32:10):
It's one of the most recent ones and you can
listen to it on demand.

Speaker 3 (01:32:14):
You got it, man, All right, Welcome back to the
Jim Colbert Show. Pay is your five o'clock keyword. Pay.
Go to Real Radio dot FM and send that off
for your chance at one thousand bucks. I'm Jim Brian
Grimes in with us today. Thanks being Oh it is microphone,
but Jack is here too. Yeah, all right, Jack? Did
you do the story today? Did I which story? Florida
governor candidate promises fifty percent tax on this and he

(01:32:36):
wants to give the revenue to teachers. Now, look, I
don't know that anybody in the state of Florida or
in the Orlando area doesn't want to see teachers make
more money. You know, we do not do well in
a state that's very wealthy for our public education. It's
actually ranked one of the worst in the US, which
is crazy considering our budget for this state is one
of the biggest in the US. Here's a few people

(01:32:58):
they'll text, yeah, that don't want to teach us. They
haven't work all year. I don't think this guy has
a dream becoming governor. I think behind James Fishback, I
think he's a He is a conservative influencer and an
investment firm CEO. Okay, so he's an investment guy and
he is a conservative influencer. Okay, all right, So I

(01:33:21):
guess that's through the ilk of like Charlie Kirk and
things of that nature. Yeah, So he wants to tax
something in the state of Florida, and he says that
that's going to create enough money to help raise the
salaries for teachers throughout the state. And you think to yourself, man,
who doesn't want to do that. Recreational marijuana? No, I
think most people would jump behind that about five secs.

Speaker 4 (01:33:44):
Would be So it's something that's not well, we say
that because we don't have it.

Speaker 3 (01:33:48):
But once if we had it, you're like, what do
you mean you're gonna attack to You can't hold it
in your hand.

Speaker 4 (01:33:53):
Air water, No, you can't hold water. Air, You can't
hold it. Hope he wants to tax only fans content creators.

Speaker 3 (01:34:08):
Oh, I don't.

Speaker 6 (01:34:11):
I didn't read the whole thing. So I don't want
them to live here.

Speaker 3 (01:34:14):
As Florida governor year one, I will push for the
first of its kind OnlyFans sin tax, Fishback said during
an interview with conservative YouTube channel in XR Studios. Quote,
if you are a so called only fans creator in Florida,
you are going to pay fifty percent to the state
on whatever you so called earned via that online degeneracy platform.

Speaker 4 (01:34:41):
So this guy will never see him again. No, that's
one good thing. However, so all that would do is
force them to leave the state.

Speaker 3 (01:34:51):
It says here. Fishback explained that all the revenue from
the tax we go toward public education, crisis pregnancy centers,
and even a ment health czar for men.

Speaker 4 (01:35:02):
I am on board with funding those things, but that
is a ridiculous, stupid, and something that will never happen.

Speaker 3 (01:35:11):
Way to get it out it's not logistically possible getting
him a lot of tension though, right, well, for.

Speaker 5 (01:35:16):
Now, Yeah, they're already paying income tax because it's income
and don't trust me. Only fans tracks it because they
get paid on it. So you're already paying tax on
it like a regular citizen. You can't tax what I
do because you don't like it.

Speaker 3 (01:35:29):
It'says, as Florida governor, I will not let young, smart
and capable women be exploited by OnlyFans, not to self here,
they make the choice to get on the platform, only
fans doesn't reach out and snatch them like a bad
guy in a van in the middle of the night
that rolls up. You are not being turned out. You

(01:35:50):
are turning yourself out. You want, if you want to
affect only fans, figure out a way to not make
it so look so good to young women who can
make you know, go for making seven dollars an hour
at Starbucks, they're making thirty grand a month. That's what
you gotta do if you want to go from Ron
de Tantis too much further right, Yeah, yeah, it says
the sin tax is a form of excise tax levied

(01:36:12):
on products that are considered harmful to the public at large,
usually intended to dissuade customers from buying the goods. I
guess that's like raising taxes on cigarettes and alcohol to
the point where it doesn't seem feasible to buy those things.

Speaker 4 (01:36:25):
I think before we listen to another word from James Fishback,
we get to see his history folder. Yeah yeah, yeah,
So what what types have you been on?

Speaker 3 (01:36:35):
James? How about this? How about we just charged politicians
one thousand dollars per lie? How about we just do that?
You know how you had the cursing bucket. Yeah, you
have the cursing bucket. Right, let's get a bucket in Tallahassee,
and every time a politician lies to his constituents, his
or her constituents, or lies in general, they got to
put one thousand dollars in that bucket. Yeah, that'll buy

(01:36:56):
you all the czars you need. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:36:59):
See, he's paying too much attention to the sensational OnlyFans stories.
The average OnlyFans creator only makes about one hundred and
fifty three hundred bucks a month, right right right, There
are obviously the thirty million dollar ones because there's the
market for it. But you're not gonna get what you
think you're gonna get by doing this.

Speaker 3 (01:37:16):
And look did I just saw a story. Sophie Rain
is one of the big is one of the big
content creators, and she actually is based out in Miami.
I believe she had a house at one point with
a bunch of other young women, and that whole house
was just basically an Only Fans creator's house. I think
that thing is kind of busted up. A number of
those girls have left the platform, but I've heard recently
that the numbers that you hear from only Fans these
women talking about are greatly exaggerated, and they do make

(01:37:40):
great money. But making thirty million dollars in six months,
or you know, when you hear these crazy numbers, they've
make a million dollars in twenty four hours, I think
those are celebrities.

Speaker 2 (01:37:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:37:49):
If you're a rando girl that just happens to have
a good body, he's gonna pull that kind of coin.

Speaker 5 (01:37:53):
You're not. And that's why the average is so low,
because there was I know there's a there was a
story last week of a girl who was she was
like a YouTuber, a teen YouTuber, and she was very popular.

Speaker 6 (01:38:02):
But the day she turned eighteen, she flipped to OnlyFans.

Speaker 5 (01:38:05):
Yes, and she made two point three million dollars in
the first twenty four hours. Sure, yeah, well that's because
you had a bunch of weirdos waiting on the day
she turned eighteen. That's not the average. That's not what
you're gonna get. You're gonna get the one fifty to
two hundred, and you're going to tax them fifty percent. Yeah,
and you're gonna pay for what with that?

Speaker 3 (01:38:21):
Nobody's gonna I mean, this doesn't have a chance of passing.
I mean, none of this has a change. He doesn't
have a chance of being governor.

Speaker 10 (01:38:26):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:38:27):
I mean, this stuff gets a lot of attention, and
that's what he wants. I mean, we're talking about him
because it's so bombastic, but in reality, there's no shot.
It's not the only platform that Fishback is running on, however,
he's also campaigning campaigning to stop HB one or H
one B visus for foreign workers. He wants to cancel
AI data centers and a bottlish property taxes, much in

(01:38:49):
the same vein as the Santas. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I got bad news for you on those data centers too.
They're going up.

Speaker 5 (01:38:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:38:57):
I don't know if you've I don't know if you looked.
I got a cousin the lit up in northern Mississippi. Yeah,
and I just read a thing that they're building this
gigantic data center up there in that area. For one thing,
the property. They basically give it to you if you
have the balls to move to the Mississippi, they will
literally give you one hundred acres. It is a woeful
place to live.

Speaker 5 (01:39:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:39:18):
NBC News did a report last night on data centers,
and I mean there's I mean dozens throughout the country,
but finding these rural places they get the town to
sign an NDA and they tried to buy this this
one guy. They offered him millions for his land and
he's like, nah, I have what I want here, I
have the view I want. I don't want to be

(01:39:38):
looking at a building I don't want, you know, I
don't want to watch the power in our town double
in price.

Speaker 3 (01:39:45):
Well that's exactly what I texted him. I said, Randy,
have you heard they're building a twenty billion dollar AI center.
It's an Elon Musk one right around the corner from
your house, literally in your backyard. Have you heard anything
his community talking and and he says he did a
little research and text me back and he goes, I
guess they're worried about some pollution and stuff, but we're
for it, you know, because I mean there's no commerce

(01:40:06):
up there. I mean, twenty billion dollars injected in the
Mississippi's uh, you know, economy is very good for them.
There is literally nothing there, guys, I mean nothing when
you drive in the Mississippi at first, it is basically
like marsh for I mean for miles, it's nothing.

Speaker 4 (01:40:22):
You will definitely find people willing to make that trade
to you know, improve the quality of their life. And
it might, you know, it may improve some things, it
may you know, hurt others.

Speaker 3 (01:40:34):
But when you have.

Speaker 4 (01:40:35):
Someone who didn't need the money, he was able to
turn down millions right because he didn't. He's They wanted
to know, well, what's the company behind it, and they
said you'll have to sign this before we can tell
you anything.

Speaker 3 (01:40:49):
And it was an NBA. He's like, no, thank you.

Speaker 5 (01:40:52):
No thank So eventually he will no longer be with us,
and one of his kids will be like, I'll take it, yeah,
like it's happening, Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:40:59):
Yeah, yeah, well yeah, they just find other towns. Right,
there's no different in developments in Florida. I mean, the
neighborhoods of these people have on these farmlands for eons
and now they're selling them off for these developers.

Speaker 5 (01:41:09):
That's where I live. Everything used to be orange and
the family's like, look, I'm not growing oranges anymore.

Speaker 6 (01:41:14):
Give me twenty million dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:41:16):
Yeah, our buddy, are our buddy at TM ranch? I mean,
eventually has parceled off all of that property at thirty
thousand or thirteen thousand acres or something out there. Yeah,
and slowly, but surely, just you know, parcel it out,
parcel it out. As a matter of fact, out in Geneva,
there are three or four families out there that have
owned half of Seminole County the entire time, and they
fought tooth and nail to keep those developers out of

(01:41:36):
that area because it's very sensitive ecological areas. And but
that is what Florida is. It's old orange groves just
waiting to be developed by people coming into the state.
Pretty cool, No, not cool, pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (01:41:51):
Let's good these data aya, these new houses and data
centers aren't going to build themselves. Yeah, but the you
need investors, you need you need thinkers, missionaries.

Speaker 5 (01:41:59):
The data centers are happening because of the obviously the
AI boom. I knew that this was like a full
speed ahead. When Bill Gates doesn't care about the environment anymore. Yeah,
suddenly he can't be left he can't be left behind
when it comes to AI.

Speaker 3 (01:42:15):
It would to switch.

Speaker 5 (01:42:16):
That guy made up because he loves you know, he's Microsoft.

Speaker 6 (01:42:18):
Yeah, so well, your your data center is going to
kill the environment.

Speaker 4 (01:42:23):
I think it's seven companies right that that are doing
all of this. And yeah, but you wonder, so they're
all racing. They're not quite sure what the goal is
or the finish line in They do not know. They
just need to They know, Okay, we need to build it.
We need to build it because if not, somebody's building
went faster than us. So what's gonna happen is there's
gonna be losers. And then what happens to those, you know.

Speaker 6 (01:42:46):
Like one of the big things, they become Spirit Halloween store.

Speaker 3 (01:42:49):
Yeah, that's funny. That's so funny. One point seven million
square feet of the scariestuff you've ever seen. But you
do make an interesting point, Jack, And you know, we've
talked about extensively. I don't know about you guys on
your show. Yeah, I mean it's everywhere, but we know
for a fact there's gonna be some type of bubble,
Like we had a dot com bubble, right, Everybody thought
they knew exactly where the Internet was gonna go, how

(01:43:09):
it was gonna be used, how they can make money
off of it. And I think the same exact thing
is about to happen with AI, well, even.

Speaker 6 (01:43:15):
More recent the metaverse.

Speaker 5 (01:43:16):
Yes, how quickly did everybody jump off Facebook change their
name to Meta?

Speaker 6 (01:43:21):
How quickly did everybody jump off the metaverse?

Speaker 3 (01:43:23):
And then the thing is gone?

Speaker 5 (01:43:24):
Right, We're buying virtual mansions across from Snoop Dogg's virtual
mansion for five million dollars. We were buying digital monkeys
that I could make on Photoshop and literally thirty seconds
the thing. Yes, I mean it just happened. The metaverse
is still out there and nobody lives in it, but.

Speaker 3 (01:43:42):
It's so crazy. You're right, do you have a Do
you have VR glasses or VR headseige?

Speaker 9 (01:43:46):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:43:46):
I never jumped on that.

Speaker 3 (01:43:47):
Yeh yeah, I'm not down for either one of these
shows that we I was just talking about that's coming
out is like kind of based on that, Like it's
a VR thing, but it blends the VR world in
with the and it's really kind of trippy.

Speaker 6 (01:44:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:44:02):
But one of my friends was hired by a pretty
big company to basically build their metaverse and he was
working like a hard on it. And honestly, he called
me one day he said, Bro, they basically pulled the plug.

Speaker 3 (01:44:13):
You just said stop.

Speaker 5 (01:44:14):
Yeah, they moved him to something else because he's really
smart and he can do things right.

Speaker 6 (01:44:17):
But they and now he's working on AI stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:44:19):
And it's interesting too because I mean, I know the
AI thing obviously is a very big deal. It's a
very novel machine, no question. I was in Seattle probably
about five, six, seven years ago. They're visiting my daughter,
and during one of the days we were out and around,
we went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame there.
I think that's where it is, right or no, no,
what is it there? That's in Ohio? What's in Seattle? Though?

(01:44:41):
There's one of those museums it's either the modern art
or pop culture or rock and roll. There's something there
And we went to that museum right find it for me? Jack,
I can't remember what it is. But as part of
that day, they had like a science fair, kind of
one of those things where you kind of roll out
new tech and it was kind of throughout no differently
then we would do here at the Science Center in Orlando.

Speaker 5 (01:45:01):
Right, Museum of Pop Culture.

Speaker 3 (01:45:03):
No, it's not that. It's something that's the one that.

Speaker 4 (01:45:06):
Comes up as their most popular one is the one
on popcort.

Speaker 6 (01:45:09):
Yah, science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame.

Speaker 3 (01:45:11):
Yeah, something like that. That's exactly what it was right there, right.

Speaker 6 (01:45:14):
And that's within the Museum of Pop Culture.

Speaker 3 (01:45:17):
Okay, So that's where we went that. It was downtown Seattle,
very cool spot. You saw some really neat stuff and
had some crazy displays, but all throughout the lobby areas
they were doing, you know, displays of new technology. And
I remember looking down from the over from the walkover
and I said, what is in that booth? This one
booth was no bigger than your normal like eight by

(01:45:37):
eight pop up tent you would see at any food festival. Right,
had about three guys in there, and the line was
one hundred and fifty people long. It was it was bananas,
and it was the first time that anybody got an
access to a VR headset. Oh geez, everybody waited line.
One kid waited line for six and a half hours

(01:45:58):
to be able to go into a VR headset for
about five minutes. That's great. And then nothing. You don't
hear about them anywhere. Nothing.

Speaker 5 (01:46:06):
I did do the pop up when they had it
at Disney Springs, and it was Star Wars based, and
so you did put it, put it on and you
were in an empty room, but obviously with those on,
you felt like you were walking on a catwalk and
you were getting lasers shot at you, and it was weird,
really weird. But I did it one time, and I'm like,
I'm good. It's something that I felt like I needed
to live in, right, or do every day.

Speaker 3 (01:46:27):
I think Ross has done it and said it's super
unbelievably cool. But again, it's something that you could be like, Okay,
that was cool. That was novel. That was fun, you know,
like going to an escape room. Yeah, that was cool.

Speaker 4 (01:46:36):
Well, when we get to the Star Trek Holodeck, that
that's when you can have your own world. Oh really, yeah,
Well you don't watch Star Trek, Yeah no, I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:46:46):
Yeah, right, that was just a reference for the cool
people listening. There's none of those. Are you crazy?

Speaker 2 (01:46:51):

How you doing doing good? Buddy? Wanna play a little
game with us? Let's let's do it.

Speaker 2 (01:48:36):
Is he the puzzlemaster or is he the guy who's
currently writing today's game?

Speaker 10 (01:48:41):
Can he be both?

Speaker 5 (01:48:42):
Let's find out.

Speaker 3 (01:48:43):
It's time for j C. S Trivia. Ya ya yo,
all right, Josh, this is a real easy game. Well,
I's got a question here for you. Four answers. One
of these answers is not true, but if you find it,
I'll send you over to Jacket. He's that's some nice
where you are you ready?

Speaker 12 (01:48:59):
I am ready.

Speaker 3 (01:49:00):
Here we go, buddy. On this day in nineteen sixty nine,
American musician drummer was a member of a genre changing
band known to be the nicest guy in rock and roll.
Dave Roll is the answer, Buddy right. His band is
named after UFO's Dave Roll was born on this day.

(01:49:20):
Here are three fun facts about Dave and one foo
fighting lie. Here go, buddy, we're talking about Dave Roll.
Which one of these is not true? Number One, when
Dave was young, he actually wanted to be a helicopter pilot.
Number two, he admitted in twenty twenty three that he
lost a significant amount of hearing and has relied on
lip reading to have conversations. Number Three, he's a self

(01:49:41):
taught guitarist and drummer. Or lastly, he turned down an
invitation to join Soundgarden. Which of those is a lie?
Number one, No, that's absolutely true, which I learned today.
Dave Roll wanted to be a helicopter pilot up until
he was about like maybe twelve or thirteen years old.
Who and then he wanted to be a pothead musician.

(01:50:03):
That's exactly what, all right? One, two, four or five? One?
Let's go one. That is Steven Steven. How you doing, buddy?

Speaker 8 (01:50:10):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (01:50:10):
It was full on guys.

Speaker 4 (01:50:11):
Let's do it.

Speaker 3 (01:50:12):
Let's do what he says. All right, we're talking about
Dave Rohle. Which one of these isn't true? Number one,
and he admitted in twenty twenty three that he's lost
a significant amount of hearing and is relied on lip
reading to have conversations. Number two, he's a self taught
guitarist and drummer. Or lastly, he turned down an invitation
to join the band Soundgarden. I believe it's that is

(01:50:33):
the one, buddy, you're aware? Hey, do you know the
band he actually did turn down to be a part of.

Speaker 8 (01:50:40):
I don't know that.

Speaker 23 (01:50:40):
I just remember this story.

Speaker 3 (01:50:41):
I'd like to stick with you, got it, buddy.

Speaker 8 (01:50:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:50:44):
So after he was done with Nirvana, he toured around
and played with a bunch of bands. I mean, he
played with Queens of the Stone Age, he played with
a number of bands. This band called them Crooked Vultures,
you know, other bands like that. But he played for
Tom Petty for a while and Tom Petty came up
to him and offered him a permanent position in his band,
and Dave Role said no, thanks. Yeah, And it's not

(01:51:06):
because he didn't like Tom Petty. They were good friends.
But you know, it's just it wasn't his Bandah. Yeah,
And of course Tom odeed and all is gone. A
couple of other things you may not know about Dave
Roll before we get to the top of the hour.
He once broke his leg on stage, went off stage,
they reset the leg and then wheeled his ass out
there and he finished the show. That wasn't too long

(01:51:26):
ago and was not no, no, no, He said to be
the third richest drummer in rock and roll. Jack Guy
challenged you, what are the other two drummers ahead of him?

Speaker 4 (01:51:37):
Karen Carpenter and is the greatest gifts? Those are so,
John Bonham, those are such great guesses.

Speaker 3 (01:51:44):
Could you do a serious guest?

Speaker 4 (01:51:46):
Yeah, that would be Phil Collins and Sheila.

Speaker 3 (01:51:51):
Wow, that's even a worst guest. But Phil Collins is
one of the answers. Ye, Phil Collins. No got to
shut there be. Who do you think the richest drummer
in the world.

Speaker 5 (01:52:03):
Is, No, that would be a good guess one of them.

Speaker 3 (01:52:07):
He's still alive. That should be a good enough crew
for a clue for you. Right, he's still alive, you
think Ringo Star has got any money?

Speaker 5 (01:52:15):
That's what I was thinking. I wasn't sure if he
was still alive, So that's what I was about to
look up just now. It's still alive.

Speaker 3 (01:52:22):
So uniquely, it's an interesting thing. When I saw this thing,
I was like, well, I gotta do research on that,
and I went, so check this out. So there are
five people considered to be the richest drummers in the world,
and Dave Grohl is one of those, with an estimated
rich or wealth of two hundred and fifty to three
hundred and fifty million dollars.

Speaker 5 (01:52:41):
Makes sense.

Speaker 3 (01:52:42):
Ringo Star is actually about the same, but they think
he's worth a little bit more than Dave Grohl. Phil
Collins is up there as well, because Phil and Collins
not only with Genesis but his own of course hersenal
career and he wrote all those songs. But it's still
is very very wealthy. Yeah, except he went through one
of two of the worst divorces in history.

Speaker 5 (01:52:58):
Yes, that got weird.

Speaker 3 (01:53:00):
Can you name three other drummers that would be on
this list that are worth over two hundred and fifty
million dollars? Buddy Rich? Buddy Rich is not an answer.
Lars Alrich is one of them. Nice one's going to
be very difficult. Alan fin Helen is not on the list.
They did not have enough number one hits. They had

(01:53:20):
a lot of success, a lot of touring success, but
they need radio success. Trey Cool, that's so funny. No,
Trey Cool is not there.

Speaker 5 (01:53:27):
Green Day, Yeah, wells green Day's made a butt ton
of money.

Speaker 3 (01:53:30):
They have, but I don't I don't think they share
the I don't know. I don't think they split The
number one thing you need to remember is what bands
split this money down the middle or what band member
would the drummer would be the key songwriter? Roots, No man,
you're missing. Greatest American band ever? Oh Well, Eagles and

(01:53:54):
then one More a band that a lot of people
have a hard time liking, but it's been the same
members since they began in the late seventies. This is
the most difficult one. This is the one where I
looked at h I'm like, who is that again? And
then it hit me and went, oh yeah, say they
are forced active. They forced their music on you at

(01:54:14):
one point, Oh you two. Larry Mullen from You two
is one of the wealthiest rummers. And another reason why
is they split all that money down the middle and
a lot of the bands when you look at that
that people who have made the money are the bands
that agreed that regardless of who writes the songs, they
share all of the value of those songs. So Larry
Mullen not one of the key songwriters there, it would

(01:54:35):
be Bono in the edge, but he also benefited from
it because he's part of that group. Yeah that's cool. Yeah. No,
Max Weinberg, No, Max Weinberg. I mean you get named
bun Chad Smith a bunch of brothers. Chad Smith was
now Chat Smith's up there, the Chili Peppers are up there,
and Fleet what's up there as well. But I mean,
when you're getting into that two hundred and fifty three
hundred million range, you'll notice that their careers are actually

(01:54:56):
still going. You know.

Speaker 4 (01:54:58):
Kring Carpenter at one time was considered one of the
greatest drummers.

Speaker 3 (01:55:01):
She is still considered one of the best drummers. I
mean you just talk to people in rock and roll,
they will tell you in the second that Karen Carpenter
was a monster. I think she was a studio musician
before they hit and she actually if when you go
back into the variety shows and see the Carpenter's playing,
she's playing drums. Yep. One of us Rollins's favorite bands.

Speaker 7 (01:55:19):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:55:19):
Yeah, yeah, he loves the Carpenters. Oh yeah. He had
a thing for Karen Carpenter for the longest time. We
used to make fun of him all the time about it,
and I would make fun of him like tongue in
cheek because I thought they were awesome as well.

Speaker 4 (01:55:29):
Her mom was not happy and vibed her because her
brother was supposed to be the star and she was
kind of overshadowing. H yeah, yeah that that didn't cause
any problems, No, no, no, no, she's yeah yeah ye. She
just grabbed a steak and kept eating, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:55:43):
Four seven nine one six one four one text Us
seven seven zero three one Ross Paget. Next, we'll find
out what's happening on Good Sauce a little bit later. Tonight,
s welcome back to the Jim Colberg Show, Real Radio
one oh four point one. Your six o'clock keyword is bank.

(01:56:04):

Give it up good loud for mister Ross pajay.

Speaker 24 (01:56:31):
Oh yeah, thank you very much for having me here.

Speaker 8 (01:56:34):
We have probably our spiciest episode to date happening on
Real Radio one oh four one eight o'clock. Jack, you
might want.

Speaker 10 (01:56:43):
To appreciate it before it gets broadcast.

Speaker 3 (01:56:46):
I don't have enough time. What is the subject of
the evening that makes it so spicy? You know?

Speaker 10 (01:56:52):
I will get to that.

Speaker 8 (01:56:53):
But before I get to that, Jim, this just happened
and I wanted to see if you guys think I'm
a little crazy here. I think I just got threatened
because I unsubscribed to a digital platform.

Speaker 3 (01:57:05):
Oh no way, who would threaten you? And who did
you use unsubscribe from?

Speaker 8 (01:57:09):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (01:57:09):
Para, I'm not going to tell you.

Speaker 8 (01:57:11):
I'm not gonna tell you because they might be it's ESPN,
it is.

Speaker 5 (01:57:18):
It?

Speaker 3 (01:57:18):
Tell me?

Speaker 8 (01:57:19):
This doesn't come off a little thready?

Speaker 9 (01:57:21):
Right?

Speaker 10 (01:57:22):
I unsubscribe?

Speaker 8 (01:57:24):
The first email I get is quote a reminder or
about our subscriber agreement.

Speaker 3 (01:57:32):
Oh no, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:57:36):
Right, so off rip, You're like, that's weird. That's not
an email confirming that I canceled.

Speaker 1 (01:57:41):
This is an email.

Speaker 8 (01:57:42):
Reminding me about our subscriber agreement. And it says, and
I am reading this off the phone, We're writing to
remind you that your use and enjoyment of these of
this service is subject to our subscriber agreement. We encourage
you to review the subscriber agreement in full and save

(01:58:03):
a copy of it for your files.

Speaker 3 (01:58:06):
So what are they threatening? You can unsubscribe anytime you want.
What are they threatening?

Speaker 8 (01:58:12):
Well, here's the thing, here's the paradox. I'm still not
going to read the fine print.

Speaker 5 (01:58:17):
And who puts it in their files?

Speaker 3 (01:58:18):
Yeah? Exactly, who's gonna file?

Speaker 24 (01:58:22):
No one has ever used one of these agreements and
been like, you know what, let me put this in
the in the good old roller debts in my filing cabinet,
and nobody and nobody does this.

Speaker 3 (01:58:31):
Nobody goes you know what, I'm going to read this
service agreement because I need to know how the Milwaukee
Bucks did last night, right.

Speaker 5 (01:58:37):
And the first email usually says sorry to see you go.
That's usually what they send.

Speaker 3 (01:58:41):
You, yea, yeah, yeah, what can we do? What can
we get you back? You know what do we do?

Speaker 10 (01:58:44):
Right?

Speaker 8 (01:58:46):
So I ended up getting that email, but only after
the Hey, by the way, you might want to read
what you signed up for. Good look, trying to say
goodbye right now because you're in it for the rest
of the year. I don't know, but I just want
to make sure that I'm not crazy. And that's a
little little aggressive.

Speaker 3 (01:59:04):
Hi, this is the ESPN here. Hope your house isn't
burned down?

Speaker 8 (01:59:07):
Right?

Speaker 6 (01:59:07):
Your car is gonna be gone in the morning.

Speaker 3 (01:59:09):
Yeah, how's your child Miles? Is he safe?

Speaker 24 (01:59:14):
It's just an email from ESPN from all of the
addresses of my loved ones. So all right, to answer
your question, big reason why it is such a spicy episode,
and here is such a massive behind the scenes I
have if you aren't aware of what good sauce with

(01:59:34):
Ross and Joel is. Joel is my creative partner, and
the person who produces the show is a childhood friend.
And whenever my friend is available, my third grade childhood
best friend. He also will hop on the show.

Speaker 8 (01:59:47):
About halfway through the episode, he says, yeah, I shouldn't
even be here right now, and we're like, what are
you talking now? He goes, yeah, she's one centimeter dilated.

Speaker 3 (01:59:57):
Oh my god, almighty, that's.

Speaker 24 (02:00:00):
Right, my best friend, My best friend is having a kid.

Speaker 8 (02:00:08):
Literally as we speak, she is in labor. And the
very last thing he did was record tonight's episode.

Speaker 6 (02:00:17):
Perhaps he should read his terms of.

Speaker 3 (02:00:22):
It for him. Yeah, let's just wrap up this segment.

Speaker 8 (02:00:27):
There's no better callback that's gonna happen in the next
ones in six minutes than that. My god, we give
him the best advice that us three amigos in myself,
Nico and Joel Warren. You don't need to know those
people to care because one person has a one year old,
one person has two teenagers, and the other person is

(02:00:50):
still bummed out that what do you mean I can't
buy any more pen cartridges.

Speaker 10 (02:00:54):
I ran out, I hit my quota. What are you
talking about?

Speaker 8 (02:00:58):
So you get the into a three different gentleman giving
the best dad advice.

Speaker 10 (02:01:05):
That you can possibly hear if you ask me.

Speaker 3 (02:01:08):
Let me ask you a question between you and Joel,
because Joel is the one that has the two teenage boys.
You have Miles, who's a little over a year old. Now,
which of you do you think your friend lean on
the most for the most sage advice.

Speaker 8 (02:01:22):
I'm going to take that question seriously because my best
friend becoming a dad is a serious topic. I'm going
to say me solely off of I am sixteen months
in his future. So I mean, if you have any age.

Speaker 3 (02:01:39):
In liter is Joel's a little too far removed. Yeah,
he's like he's the greatest generation. Yeah, he's like almost age. Yeah,
foot in the grave.

Speaker 8 (02:01:47):
Well, I'm not saying that, but I will say that
I think that if you have ten plus years of
difference of age between kids, ten years is enough time
for everything to change. Yes, whether it's the toys that
you're watching, the apps that are now coming out, the
new concerns, the new worries that you actually don't have

(02:02:08):
to worry about anymore because it's not nineteen ninety five.
To me, it seems like every ten to fifteen years,
parents are going to be walking up to a different
set of problems. I would say, yes, uh so, I
would say, I would say myself, because I'm sixteen months
in new his future and he's gonna get all of
a hand me down.

Speaker 4 (02:02:26):
It's a great point about the appstitutes, because when I
was a parent my kids were young, the only apps
were the ones we couldn't afford to order at the
restaurant when we went out to eat.

Speaker 3 (02:02:38):
Dad joke, love it, Bravo, Bravo. It's a winner. That's
a winner.

Speaker 8 (02:02:42):
And the main reason why now, Jim, I'm kind of
rocking a hard place here because we do touch on
something very very serious on tonight's episode.

Speaker 10 (02:02:52):
But I'm still a comedian and I try.

Speaker 8 (02:02:55):
It's weird. I have a weird paradox. That's the second
time I've used that word on this segment. It's it's
weird because off of this last week's news. When you all,
when you have a platform and there is something that
galvanizes you. I've learned from doing years of live radio

(02:03:16):
take that route. Be honest, if you are going through something,
or if you really feel fiery and passionate about something,
then go that route.

Speaker 10 (02:03:25):
And that's exactly what we did.

Speaker 8 (02:03:27):
As you know this, Jim, I am a huge World
War Two officionado. I don't want to say I'm a
fan of World War Two, but I've been going to
bed to World War Two documentaries for the better part
of like five seven years.

Speaker 10 (02:03:42):
It's been a while.

Speaker 3 (02:03:42):
You're a buff.

Speaker 8 (02:03:44):
I think it is the most interesting six years because
you get to see every ounce of humanity that humanity
has to offer. You can see the greatest of heroes,
the most evil of evil. And let's use this as
a segue. Please don't gird your loins and clutch your pearls,
because I do think it's a serious conversation. Because I

(02:04:06):
have so many of my friends, I always hear like,
what is this nineteen thirties Germany?

Speaker 10 (02:04:12):
What is this nineteen thirties Germany?

Speaker 8 (02:04:15):
So we played a game show called nineteen thirties Germany
or Now? And I am here to tell you if
anybody is rolling their eyes going I've heard this assessment,
I've heard this described that what is this Nazi Germany,
and let me get ahead of this and go Nazi

(02:04:36):
Germany and the evil that that regime had conjured up
will never be duplicated or replicated again.

Speaker 10 (02:04:43):
I feel confident in saying that.

Speaker 8 (02:04:45):
With that said, there are some striking similarities between Germany
and the early thirties to unfortunately, in my eyes, what
is happening right now and there are this is it's different,
and if I have my own show, and if I
have my own on this beautiful legacy radio station, I

(02:05:06):
would regret not being honest and at least bringing up
that when someone says, what is this nineteen thirties Germany?

Speaker 10 (02:05:13):
I still disagree.

Speaker 8 (02:05:15):
With that, But you shouldn't scoff at when somebody says,
what is this nineteen thirties Germany? Because there are some similarities,
and I go through all of them and the ones
that I don't think line up on the back half
of tonight's episode. It's probably the most meaningful twenty five

(02:05:35):
minutes of good sauce I think we've ever done interesting.

Speaker 3 (02:05:38):
You know, I've seen those parallels. I've seen those listening
to parallels, and they are a little bit unsettling. Some
of them.

Speaker 8 (02:05:45):
Well, you know, I actually I'll give you a couple
of right now. A massive thing that happened in nineteen
thirties Germany, early No, we're talking nineteen twenty nine, nineteen thirty,
nineteen thirty one.

Speaker 10 (02:05:56):
A huge thing.

Speaker 8 (02:05:57):
And this is what I would ask all of our listeners.
Just ask yourself this, because this happened was dehumanizing language
scattered all throughout the early nineteen thirties, and just honestly,
the normalization of extreme language really ramped.

Speaker 10 (02:06:15):
Up in the early thirties.

Speaker 8 (02:06:17):
And I would ask anybody listening to this conversation right now,
have you noticed that?

Speaker 10 (02:06:23):
Do you feel that way?

Speaker 8 (02:06:24):
I will go out on the plank and go I'm
guilty of it. I have changed a little bit of
my vocabulary just in the last couple of years, and
I can feel it. I can see it in the
comedy scene. I can see it from the people making
people laugh and going wow. That just wouldn't have happened
twenty fifteen, twenty eighteen. So that's one of the questions

(02:06:48):
that I would have for anybody who immediately scoffs at
that accusation. How about this escapegoating nineteen thirties, early nineteen
thirties Germany was the king of Scapevo. They were the
Let's just say they blamed it on minorities, and I'm
not saying they are exactly, but I can't tell. I

(02:07:11):
can't say that there isn't some level of similarity. It
goes on to much, much, much more. I have plenty
of examples. We put a game show dropped behind it.
It is a serious conversation, it is a serious topic.
But dare I say, I still think it is entertaining
and it might still make you laugh.

Speaker 3 (02:07:29):
Very nice. So that's the nine at eight o'clock good Sauce.
The first half is baby stuff, second half World War
two stone.

Speaker 8 (02:07:36):
It is a hard pivot and by all means, I
definitely call it out on this segment, and I don't
want to.

Speaker 10 (02:07:44):
Like I said, I'll double down real fast. Not the same,
not the same.

Speaker 8 (02:07:49):
Nineteen thirties Germany is nineteen thirties Germany.

Speaker 10 (02:07:52):
But just maybe, yeah, just check it out.

Speaker 8 (02:07:56):
I hope tonight's episode might resonate with a handful of people,
because at the very least it might make you stay,
did you.

Speaker 3 (02:08:02):
See the thing that was on the lect turn the
other day? There's a couple of things that have been
written on lec turns. I don't know, Jack, did you
see the what was written on the lecturn the other day?
I did not one of ours, out one of ours,
all of yours.

Speaker 8 (02:08:16):
Yeah, and that's I think it is verbatim.

Speaker 3 (02:08:21):
Yeah. There was another one that hit today as well
that was similar to that. It was similar enough to
make you look at it and go, that's kind of wild.
But the one thing that was missing is is it's
one one nation, one America. One something in the Germany
version was one leader, but it doesn't say that. In
the version that was on the lecturn or the plaque

(02:08:41):
that I saw from a speaker here recently, it was
it was something else, but it was. It was eerily similar.

Speaker 10 (02:08:48):
You know what.

Speaker 8 (02:08:48):
I was doing research for tonight's episode because I did.
You know, I want to have a serious thing, but
I also don't want people to shut it off.

Speaker 10 (02:08:55):
Thinking that I am coming at them.

Speaker 8 (02:08:58):
So I'll give you one more example of nineteen thirties
Germany and then maybe you tell me if actually I'll
let you tell me if it's nineteen thirties Germany or
twenty twenty six USA. High polarization between the parties, parties
increasingly view each other as threats to the nation. Yes,

(02:09:20):
is that nineteen thirties Germany or twenty twenty six USA.

Speaker 10 (02:09:26):
I think my point is made.

Speaker 3 (02:09:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (02:09:28):
I think.

Speaker 5 (02:09:30):
The answer is yes, yeah.

Speaker 10 (02:09:32):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:09:33):
So there are some similarities, they are completely different. I'm
not saying that so and so is so and so.
I'm not saying that this is the same, but I
am saying that it's okay to point out and talk
about the similarities when it comes to our tension right now,
I would say as a country.

Speaker 10 (02:09:50):
And that is what is up for Good Sauce Tonight,
which is.

Speaker 3 (02:09:53):

Thanks for coming in, Budd, We appreciate that very much.

Speaker 5 (02:11:36):
For the invite.

Speaker 3 (02:11:36):
Beeg is here as well. Oh yeah, tomorrow will be
myself Jack and Ross Devil be out for the rest
of the week's We be back with us on Monday, though,
just in time for it to be freezing as cold. Yeah. Well,
speaking of which, I wanted to ask that question, that's
actually one of the things I want to talk about. Uh,
there's a bunch of stuff happening with theme parks when
we talk about a second as well. But so, Jack,
how much do you know about the plant thing?

Speaker 10 (02:11:57):
What do you know?

Speaker 3 (02:11:57):
Tech our textees Horust knows a bunch of stuff Like
So if you live in the areas where Deb and
I live up in Lake County, and maybe maybe even
you dog, Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:12:06):
Live on the outside of it, so yeah, out their
winter garden.

Speaker 3 (02:12:08):
I mean, but I can go straight down the four
twenty nine me at your house.

Speaker 5 (02:12:10):
We're on the line of what like if you if
you go kind of the back roads maybe five minutes
from my house, you get to welcome to Lake County.

Speaker 3 (02:12:16):
Yeah, the lake in Orange right, So so in those
and we're in a more northern part than you are there, Jack,
it gets a little colder by you, right. I just
bought a brand new yard. I don't know if you
guys know that brand new landscaping. I'm serious across the
board and it was so inexpensive. Yeah, you know they
give that away these days. I don't know if you
guys have ever paid for landscaping. It's it's like free,

(02:12:37):
just give them like a free coke or something. They
just lay it down there for nothing. Grass cheap, plants cheap.
Everything's cheap. And we do have some new foliage, some
plants and whatnot. And my question is this, like I
know I need to cover them them up. That's not
even an issue, right. We do have lights like those
mood lights around the house now that shine up to
you know, make the house look cool. Yeah, and I
know that does provide some heat, there's no question absolutely.

(02:13:00):
As a matter of fact. The first I've heard was
is when when back in the day when we had
those big freezes back in the eighties and eighty six
is actually the one that caused the shuttle to blow up? Yeah,
because they think that that O ring was the weather effect.
It is, yeah, ed over, Yeah, super cool. I think
it was down in the twenties here in central Florida
that everybody I knew said, well, you cover it up

(02:13:21):
and just put a light bulb under there. You know,
just a lamp and that will produce enough heat where
it won't get above you know, you'll be fine. So
I know I could do that. I don't have any
problem with that. Here's my issue, all right, So let's
say I cover my plants up. It's gonna be tomorrow
night when I do it, because Friday is supposed to
be the Thursday night going into Friday supposed to be
the worst day. Do I have to take that off?
It's only going to get up to like fifty one

(02:13:42):
degrees or fifty five degrees on Friday. Will it hurt
my plants if I leave the plastic on top of them?

Speaker 4 (02:13:48):
Okay, A, if you're using plastic, it's not as good
as using cloth, I believe.

Speaker 5 (02:13:54):
Okay, I've heard that.

Speaker 3 (02:13:56):
But you can do the plastic loosely though, right, so
the plant can breathe underneath. That's what I hurt. Right.

Speaker 4 (02:14:01):
And also, and settle a light bulb if you still
have Cristmas lights. That's another thing you can do, because
then you're stringing it out. You can go over a
larger area to kind of warm up a plane.

Speaker 3 (02:14:14):
But let me ask you, is that only for the
old incandescent ones because LED lights don't make heat. Yeah,
they produce no heat. The zero heats, so you have
to have the old bulb ones for that to even work,
because even the lights are mood lighting. All that's LED,
That's right.

Speaker 4 (02:14:31):
And I don't think they haven't had this problem since
we switched to LED, because I was when you talked
about covering plants. I remember, I don't know, it's been
about ten years since I had to, since we've had
temperatures really dip where we had to cover them in
our area here.

Speaker 3 (02:14:48):
I remember we took every spare sheet we had when
the last big cold front came through, which is I
think back in the two thousand and eight or time
or ten or something like that, where it was not
above sixty degreech like ten twelve days. Yeah, And I
remember I wrapped our sheets. It wasn't plastic with sheets,
and I just left them wrapped and it didn't kill anything.
It was fine.

Speaker 6 (02:15:08):
How long did you leave it?

Speaker 3 (02:15:10):
I mean for a while though, day? Yeah, well, just yes,
at least for those first two days when it was Yeah,
when it got real low, and I'm just worried about
I don't want to kill it, like I've paid all
this money for this stuff. Yeah, and I don't want
to throw anything over there that's going to kill it.
And I don't really know what to do. I mean,
I really, I mean I guess I could google it,
but I know people out there have all the information
and I have. What I have is is I have

(02:15:31):
paint drop cloth like that sup cloth? No? No, no, it's
it's it's plastic. But it's so wispy thin. Is it clear? No?

Speaker 4 (02:15:41):
Okay, that's good, I think. Okay, And you don't want.

Speaker 3 (02:15:43):
To magnify the light. It's so thin, I mean because
it's just basically there to keep paint off stuff, so
it doesn't need to be durable. And I know that
it would work. And the only thing I would worry
about is it blowing off. I mean, I can weigh
it down. I'm just worried about, like, do I have
to get up tomorrow morning and go and take because
it's a lot. Yeah, you have to take this stuff
off of everything and then put it back again anyway, Yes, yeah,

(02:16:07):
I do. Yes, I cannot leave it on there.

Speaker 5 (02:16:09):
If your daytime temps go above forty. Oh geez, it
says anything over forty. I had to look it up
just to be sure. I don't know, but it's had
anything over forty eight hours. You risk overheating and trapping
in moisture with lack of air flow.

Speaker 4 (02:16:22):
And that's the reason why cloth would be better, because
it is a.

Speaker 3 (02:16:26):
Cloth would breathe.

Speaker 6 (02:16:26):
Yeah, yes, it's uncovered by mid morning.

Speaker 3 (02:16:29):
Is that with cloth or just plastic?

Speaker 6 (02:16:31):
Just says cover in general.

Speaker 3 (02:16:33):
You don't have to take them all the way off
you just like.

Speaker 6 (02:16:36):
It says, Actually no plastic sheets, they're not breatheable.

Speaker 4 (02:16:39):
Yeah, you take them off the top and you leave
them strewn in your lawn like inflatables that are unplugged.

Speaker 3 (02:16:45):
Your favorite landscape feature. Have I ever mentioned how much
I hate Yeah? Have I told you that breaks? I
think I told you during the break a couple of time.

Speaker 6 (02:16:54):
I mean I could feel it something.

Speaker 5 (02:16:56):
Yeah, you didn't explicitly say it.

Speaker 4 (02:16:58):
And if you read my tattoo or not, look like
the guy who have to prove yourself by having the
king size bed.

Speaker 3 (02:17:03):
I'm sure you have flat sheets. I do have flat
I do have some sheets, but I don't want to
take them out there and do that right.

Speaker 5 (02:17:08):
Use says frost cloth. Go by frost cloth. You can
it's everywhere in Florida one to two days.

Speaker 3 (02:17:13):
Oh yeah, Florida's rife with frost cloth. Yeah, it's going
to be everywhere. Right, you probably get that at seven elevens.

Speaker 6 (02:17:20):
I would imagine you at the register.

Speaker 3 (02:17:24):
I'll have some marble lights and of course some frost.

Speaker 5 (02:17:26):
Cloth, right, and the chiller be male enhancement pill and
some frost.

Speaker 3 (02:17:31):
Cloth and some super bees. Because I don't want to
sleep for two weeks.

Speaker 6 (02:17:38):
I'm not covering anything because I want my plants to die.

Speaker 5 (02:17:41):
Yeah, because I need new landscaping anyway. So I'm like, well,
you die, make it easy to pull them out.

Speaker 7 (02:17:47):
You can.

Speaker 3 (02:17:47):
I get a pack of marble lights, some backwoods frost
cloth and crate them. Twenty thirty years ago, I don't
know how long.

Speaker 4 (02:17:55):
There used to be an article in a Daytona Beach
news journal called the Darwinian Gardener and strike one.

Speaker 19 (02:18:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:18:02):
I've always adopted that is. Hey, it's a survival of
the fittest in my lawn. If you know, if you
can't handle a little little freeze, I don't need you.

Speaker 3 (02:18:10):
I don't need you growing in my yard. I want
hardy plants. Guy says, I've spent a lot of cash
on tropical landscaping. Covered everything in lost Travelers, cheap trees, foxtails,
screw tropical landscaping. We don't see. We don't have that.
We bought pretty durable stuff, right, but we but we
do have some flowers. And I asked my wife before

(02:18:30):
she left to go to northfing Dakota where she is
right now, and she's like, she's like, I don't know, Jimmy,
I'm busy. All right, Oh that's priceless. All right, let's
never heard that before.

Speaker 6 (02:18:48):
Yeah, so Friday morning is going to be the coldest,
right yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:18:51):
Yeah, Thursday night going into Friday morning is supposed to
be thirty two degrees up where we.

Speaker 5 (02:18:54):
Are, right, okay, but it's also going to be sunny.
And they said that's the bad mix. Yeah, that is
because Sunday it's going to be superney. And that's why
you have to have them uncovered by mid morning.

Speaker 3 (02:19:03):
And that's the one that's the thing I was worried about.
It's like, if I keep them covered, it doesn't take
much to burn them. That's what I know. Because I
guess they release overheating. It says they release carbon dioxide
and it gets trapped or something so around here, you're
looking at that right before that pre sunrise temperature being
about thirty four degrees in this area.

Speaker 4 (02:19:21):
You are not that much further north, you might hit freezing.
You're not going to be in a deep freeze for
a while.

Speaker 3 (02:19:28):
No, no, no, but it just has to stay at freezing
for more than four hours, I think is what it
has to be. I don't think you're gonna see Oh really,
but if I don't cover them and they get killed,
I will have to live with you for a couple
of days. You know, No, you just say you know.
I don't know Tori. I was busy. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you met her. Why don't you do that?

Speaker 5 (02:19:46):
I should go over?

Speaker 3 (02:19:46):
Well, yeah, you've met her. You both have met her.
Why don't you guys do that? You guys should team
up and do it, and then let me hear on
speakerphone when you do that, shoot you through your cell phone.
Guy says frost cloth is expensive and as f and stupid.

Speaker 5 (02:20:01):
Oh my god, good will and get some sheets.

Speaker 3 (02:20:06):
Uh. Somebody says, I just want to hear Jim say
frost cloth five times in a row.

Speaker 4 (02:20:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:20:10):
I think I'll just have some old sheets. I don't
think that the heye are what is the ore thie
plants susceptible to cold brand? You know, I have no
idea you know what that is? This is the purple
kind of plant with the long bayonet looking leaf. Yeah,
they're like a They're like a multiple color of purples.
I think they're pretty resilient though. I have those pretty tropical. Dude,

(02:20:30):
I've got a bunch of those. If I have to
cover those, game over, dude, I'm serious, game over, I
must have twelve of those in the front of my house.

Speaker 6 (02:20:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:20:41):
So the weather is, it's good by you're gonna need
to uncover this stuff by nine am.

Speaker 4 (02:20:46):
That's no problem. He's up at six and he's got
nothing but free time in the because that's when I.

Speaker 3 (02:20:51):
Have ever tell you how much I hate braying.

Speaker 8 (02:20:53):
Ryan.

Speaker 5 (02:20:53):
I looked in your area because I wanted I didn't
want to give you Maitland information.

Speaker 3 (02:20:57):
You don't live here.

Speaker 5 (02:20:59):
And that's when it hits forty. And after forty it
said you only have a few hours before it starts overheating.

Speaker 3 (02:21:05):
Yeah, yeah, thanks, that's true. It's so many life. I'm
trying to help you. Yeah, yeah, I can feel it.
How about how about Alo plants we have. We have
three gigantic alo cactuses. They grow like weeds, don't they.
I don't think so, dude. I mean that's a desert plant.
I got a lot of little ones we have. We
definitely have to cover succulents, no question. You have to

(02:21:27):
cover cuculents. Even I know that nothing, dude, you should
cover it all.

Speaker 5 (02:21:31):
We have a bigger gave plant, do we have to
cover that? See?

Speaker 3 (02:21:33):
That's kind of I think that's the thing man Tequila.

Speaker 6 (02:21:36):
Now, No, it just looked really cool.

Speaker 3 (02:21:38):
Yeah, we don't have it agave. We have just have
one of those big bayonet one of those big bayonet
cactuses or whatever.

Speaker 5 (02:21:45):
And it was expensive. Gave plant was a lot. Really
that that thing dies, I'll have a problem, Yeah, it was.

Speaker 3 (02:21:51):
It was not cheap. Have you ever seen the fields
of those things in Mexico? The blue agave fields? Boy,
what an inhospitable plot of land.

Speaker 8 (02:21:58):
You know.

Speaker 3 (02:21:58):
They used to they used to row those things or
plant them around military bases in Mexico because of how
impossible it is to get through them to get anywhere.

Speaker 5 (02:22:06):
Yeah, I've I've stabbed myself numerous times on.

Speaker 3 (02:22:09):
Arms and it's no joke. I mean it will go
in to you for a bit. Yes, it hurts, It's
not like oh a prick. Now the thing isn't you
an inch?

Speaker 4 (02:22:15):
It's pretty bad for we used to and considering New Jersey,
it was, you know, when it got cold, it would
be cold for several months for winter.

Speaker 3 (02:22:25):
My grandfather would put steaks.

Speaker 4 (02:22:26):
It was burlap, but it was he kind of create
a burlap wall around the plant.

Speaker 3 (02:22:32):
So it's protecting him from wind. But it doesn't go
over the top. You know.

Speaker 4 (02:22:38):
You you could have a system where you have, you know,
a way to protect it.

Speaker 3 (02:22:42):
It could be plastic.

Speaker 4 (02:22:43):
Yeah, you're protecting it from the wind because the wind chill.
It's not the temperature is going to be about thirty
thirty two by you, but it's the wind that's going
to do the dam.

Speaker 3 (02:22:52):
So let me ask this question. So oddly enough, I mean, well,
this does will happen tomorrow morning, so it won't be
that to give the US Mike. Sprinklers go off on
Thursday and Sunday. Yeah, so at eight o'clock in the morning.
But I'm not gonna I'm not covering them tonight, so
I won't have a problem. Somebody said Also, you should
water the ground where the plants are that you want
to save, because the watering will also help them keep

(02:23:14):
Never heard that either.

Speaker 5 (02:23:15):
Yeah, because I would think it would freeze if.

Speaker 4 (02:23:16):
It gets cold enough and the water gets hit them
and the water freezes, then they die from the inside out.

Speaker 5 (02:23:22):
Bad idea, bad idea.

Speaker 6 (02:23:24):
Are you going to keep asking until we tell you
you don't have to cover them?

Speaker 4 (02:23:29):
He's watching the texting services, is waiting for the right advice.

Speaker 3 (02:23:33):
This guy's good.

Speaker 6 (02:23:34):
We've already given you your answer. Yeah, but what about this?

Speaker 3 (02:23:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (02:23:41):
But what about this?

Speaker 4 (02:23:44):
If it you know, you can't even make like I
talk about, you could build something and always have blankets
and stuff and all that nonsense, but it happened.

Speaker 3 (02:23:52):
How often do you have to do this? Maybe one?

Speaker 4 (02:23:55):
I mean, we hadn't had to do this in years,
and now it's just it's getting gold.

Speaker 3 (02:24:00):
I'm just saying something mad about it.

Speaker 5 (02:24:01):
Already, frost cloth over Jack, want you to build something
nothing cheaper than the frost claus build a forts around.

Speaker 3 (02:24:09):
I ain't building nothing, but I'm gonna tell you straight up,
my wife is gonna make me send pictures tomorrow night.
That's for damn sure. Gim did you wrap the type lants? Yeah, baby,
I wrapped them. Send me a picture. My god, I'm
gonna go right the No, I have to actually wrap them.

Speaker 5 (02:24:22):
This is where I'm gonna wrap.

Speaker 3 (02:24:23):
I'm gonna wrap one.

Speaker 6 (02:24:24):
This is where AI comes in. What you have to
do is get a nice.

Speaker 5 (02:24:27):
Pick of pictures, smell that a mile nicely written prompt, GPT.

Speaker 3 (02:24:31):
You'll take care of it. And then she's like, where
those blankets come from? Aren't ours? I'm gonna use. I'm
gonna use all of hers. Yeah, I wrapped the both
all your clothes. You asked me to save the flowers.
Put your cashmere sweater over. I think they're gonna be
just fine.

Speaker 6 (02:24:46):
That your sweaters it look nice.

Speaker 3 (02:24:50):
Hmm, God almighty. I don't want to do it so bad.
I don't want to do it. You have no idea?

Speaker 4 (02:24:55):
Kids olver huh ine the kids teliver, make they yell and.

Speaker 3 (02:24:58):
Have them my kids come to my else when I
have food. And that's it.

Speaker 5 (02:25:01):
That's it all for one of the eight emotions. Guys
here to do it for some money?

Speaker 3 (02:25:05):
Oh that's paramore to come out that nice guy. Probably
do it.

Speaker 5 (02:25:11):
He probably will, probably would any would even take it.

Speaker 3 (02:25:13):
He's probably would. I couldn't do it to him, No
way possible. He's too sweet of a dude. All Right, well,
I guess I'll cover the damn things up. Nobody's text
the end saying there's a magic answer, like Brian busting
my ass about it. I'm just trying to help show tomorrow.
I'm wrecking your ass. Gimme. I'm not gonna do that.
I'm around you asking the same question. He's like, I'm
on to you. What do I get to host Johnny's

(02:25:35):
Out so I can rip your ass out here as
soon as john Yeah? No, do you want to get
up that early? Johnny smarter than that dude he let
me in there.

Speaker 6 (02:25:43):
He must be Crazy's house, all right?

Speaker 3 (02:25:47):
Four oh seven nine one six one four one. Text
us at seven seven zero three one. Don't forget guys,
bank is your six o'clock keyword? That's b A n K.
Go to real radio dot FM and send that away
for your chance at one thousand bucks. Who's this? Pat Patrick? Sharp? Patrick?
How you doing, buddy? Welcome to the show.

Speaker 23 (02:26:03):
I'm good. How are you?

Speaker 3 (02:26:04):
I'm doing great? Buddy?

Speaker 23 (02:26:05):
And cold weather issues so when citrust grows are down
here in Florida. Ways to prevent freezing is to water
them because they are taking from the groundwater, and because
the groundwater is going to be warmer than that air,
it's gonna temporarily raise the ambient temperature. And if it
does get cold enough for frost, it's going to build

(02:26:28):
up on the leaves and stuff like that. But it's
gonna protect it because the air can't get to the
leaves and cause the damage.

Speaker 3 (02:26:35):
Right. Is that why back in the day that orange
growers would would actually spray the groves with water because
the ice would be wouldn't be as cold or damaging
as the wind chill.

Speaker 23 (02:26:47):
Yeah, because ice would just stay like thirty two degrees
get lower than it.

Speaker 3 (02:26:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (02:26:52):
And that's also why you see all the old the
windmills and the old groves, because they would literally blow
the cold air out from all the low spots, which
is where it would get colder because cold air sinks.

Speaker 3 (02:27:02):
Wow, that's cool. Patrick is the official uh playing guy
that Jim.

Speaker 4 (02:27:07):
Hey, what does Jim have to do? What's the least
amount of work Jim can do.

Speaker 3 (02:27:11):
And protect the don't don't pay attention to Jack build
a windmill.

Speaker 23 (02:27:15):
You got those old incan dacent string lights.

Speaker 3 (02:27:18):
I don't know if I do, buddy. That's the thing is,
I think all my string lights, everything we have now
is led.

Speaker 23 (02:27:24):
Because that's what I've seen people do to like protect
trees and stuff. They'll wrap it up and it produces
just enough heat to keep it warmer.

Speaker 3 (02:27:31):
Right, let me ask you, do you know? Okay, do
I have to wrap thie plants? Are they susceptible to cold?
A little bit?

Speaker 23 (02:27:40):
The plant?

Speaker 3 (02:27:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 23 (02:27:42):
Yeah, a little bit. I mean they should be fine.

Speaker 3 (02:27:47):
So if they're not. If they're not fine, can I
invoice you? Probably not, okay, but I appreciate it. Man,
you can all day, you can, you can all you want. Bitch,
I got a horrible news for you, though there will
be no reminting. Well, it's a good looking plan, yeah,
the type plane Yeah, yeah, man, they're good. They're good

(02:28:10):
looking plans. We have a nice color that gives nice
color to a lens. Yeah, we have all of them.
We got all the type plans for it had to offer. God,
I hate doing it. I hate it so much. We're
catching on all right. Four our seven nine one six
one text us at seven to seven zero three ones.
Take a little break will come back and do a

(02:28:30):
few more minutes and get the hell out of here.
On a Wednesday.

Speaker 4 (02:28:36):
Hey, boys and girls, TK Law wants her mind us
to look ahead, so we will look ahead here on
Real Radio. Tomorrow morning on the Monsters, starting at nine
am kicks off another thirteen chances for you to win
one thousand dollars with our keyword contest and also Daisy
del Toro tomorrow on the Monsters. When it comes time

(02:28:57):
for you to look ahead for the future for you,
you and your family do it with the team at
TK Law from a state planning wills trust.

Speaker 3 (02:29:07):
They do it all.

Speaker 4 (02:29:08):
It's family law and you find them at one firm
for Life dot com. Oh buddy, you're getting all the
advice you need right now.

Speaker 15 (02:29:27):
Hey, how's it again, o'hannah violating the two callback rule, Jimmy,
your tea plants are going is if you don't cut them,
you call them tye, but they're actually pronounced t anyway. Yeah,
they're not cold tolerant. But the thing is, man, you
can cut back to the stock. They grow back very well.
Everybody definitely water the.

Speaker 19 (02:29:49):
Ground hard tomorrow b for the cold weather comes.

Speaker 15 (02:29:53):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (02:29:55):
Low ha a lo ha Jijan.

Speaker 18 (02:29:57):
Also, if you have any flowers on anything else, just
count them as a loss because flowers are reproductive and
the plant's not gonna want to waste the energy to
make the flowers or keep the flowers. If we can
keep the rest of the plant nice and healthy, Google says,
it should be fine. It's gonna look like crap, but
that's just because of the colder temperatures.

Speaker 10 (02:30:19):
They're gonna bounce back.

Speaker 3 (02:30:20):
Probably, It's only gotta be cold for one day.

Speaker 14 (02:30:23):
You do not have to cover anything up. I'm a
horder culture list.

Speaker 18 (02:30:26):
I'm telling you now you're wasting your time.

Speaker 9 (02:30:29):
If we had three days in a row of cold weather,
then cover with material only no plastic.

Speaker 10 (02:30:35):
Plastic will kill your plants. Have a great knife.

Speaker 3 (02:30:37):
Thank you, nice, thank you. It's got the one you want.
It only took twenty minutes of begging at our final
thought back of the day.

Speaker 24 (02:30:46):
I'm not sure why I never thought of this, but
if I bring the original cold bearer magnet that I
got from you guys, I mean Colbert, I'm sorry, I
watch a lot of Stephen.

Speaker 15 (02:30:56):
Can I get you guys assign it?

Speaker 3 (02:30:57):
Including Ross? Yeah, dude, yeah, absolutely, anytime.

Speaker 5 (02:31:03):
I God if that talk back didn't coming, we're gonna
stay till eight o'clock.

Speaker 3 (02:31:07):
Time we were. You have no idea I'd be like
good sauces next. Well, yes, I hate that Brian kind
of busting my ass though he knew, he knew exactly
what I was doing. He's like, this guy's looking for
an easy way out. I can smell it a mile away.
All right, welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show. We're
already one o four point one. I'm Jim, there's Brian.

Speaker 5 (02:31:25):
Hey no sense, and Jack is here as well.

Speaker 3 (02:31:28):
Indeed, have a good time today.

Speaker 6 (02:31:29):
But yeah, it's really it's love fun.

Speaker 3 (02:31:30):
I love having you and kid. I mean, how long
have you and I know each other?

Speaker 5 (02:31:34):
Oh gosh, I mean I've been here twenty five years.
First I didn't know you. I used to sit in
the back corner of that when you guys are middays, Yeah,
and just watch everybody do their stuff while I was
trying to learn everything.

Speaker 6 (02:31:44):
So yeah, I mean we've known each other for probably
at least twenty.

Speaker 3 (02:31:47):
That's so funny. What a what a weird thing? I goes,
So I've known you for twenty years and now your
son is on my show. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (02:31:52):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:31:53):
For people who do not know, Jayden Rhymes is Brian's
boy and he comes in on Fridays and does the
eight Bit Update, which is a video game segment.

Speaker 5 (02:32:00):
I think last time, maybe it wasn't When you were here,
I reminded them that I actually applied to be an
intern for the film's file and you're interviewed by Jack.

Speaker 3 (02:32:09):
Who was an intern for the film file.

Speaker 5 (02:32:11):
I didn't get it.

Speaker 3 (02:32:11):
Yeah, yeah, why didn't you get it? Because we had
Jenna and Angel.

Speaker 5 (02:32:15):
Oh man, it.

Speaker 4 (02:32:16):
Was a tough It was a tough line that that
was the biggest line up we ever had come through.

Speaker 3 (02:32:21):
Actually it worked out much better for Brian.

Speaker 8 (02:32:23):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (02:32:23):
Career wise, Oh, I mean.

Speaker 5 (02:32:25):
I stuck in the building. I just did a production
intern with Dave Green and learned some stuff and worked
out for me.

Speaker 3 (02:32:30):
So did you want to be in the air when
you first started at me? That was that your goal?
Or did you want to just be in the business? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (02:32:34):
No, I wanted to be on the Yah.

Speaker 3 (02:32:36):
Yeah what made you think you could?

Speaker 5 (02:32:38):
Honest to god, I used to listen I mean I
listened to talk radio when I was growing up. Used
to listen to Ron and Ron.

Speaker 3 (02:32:43):
Yeah. Oh, my God, the greatest.

Speaker 17 (02:32:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:32:45):
So I always that was that was Russ and I's
inspiration to do radio.

Speaker 5 (02:32:48):
And then I listened to ed till and I listened
to Drew at night here. And then I worked in
an office and I would catch you guys and monsters
at the time of the midday, and I was I
was already pretty technically sound, and I was always the
funny guy. And you know, I always wrote bits and everything.
I just never had a place to do them right.
And I thought to myself, well, man, I can I
think I can probably do that. Yeah, And I just started,

(02:33:11):
you know, working towards it. And I got a job
at a company called the Broadcast Team, and they were
the early pioneers of streaming radio. But there was no
devices yet, so they were doing internet radio, but there
was no delivery system other than a computer, and so
there was no way to monetize it.

Speaker 6 (02:33:27):
Oh wow, So they gave me a two year contract.

Speaker 5 (02:33:29):
I worked eighteen months at it before they pulled the
plug and said they're not making any money here, like,
we can't do this. And then this just so happened
that one of their engineers was Glory's cousin who works
here got almighty.

Speaker 3 (02:33:39):
Yeah it's not watch it too. Yeah, right, every single time.

Speaker 5 (02:33:42):
My wife heard a commercial on the radio that said
XL one of six seven's hiring for their funny games department. Yeah,
which is the promotions department. And that's how I ended
up here.

Speaker 3 (02:33:51):
I used to do phone calls, so the films file.
That's how I kind of started, kind of getting past
the nerves of kind of being on the air. I
would call Jim and do phone calls, do bits when
they come up with topics I thought were fun and interesting,
and I would call his show and try to try
to make him laugh or try to make him, you know,
get him intrigued. And then you know, Russ had the
epiphany to buy block programming. Yeah, and that's how it happened.

(02:34:14):
So when people asked me about my career, I said,
just imagine the sham wow, well, sham wow guy getting
in the sitcom. That's exactly what happened. I mean, we
were basically an infomercial. Yeah, that got a sitcom.

Speaker 6 (02:34:24):
I remember I used to listen to you guys at
night park crazy.

Speaker 3 (02:34:26):
Yeah that was great. Yeah, Hey, the whole ride has
been very interesting. You know, people have asked me if
I will ever write a memoir of some time. I
don't know people are interested enough to the story because
it's been told a bunch already on the air. But
it has been a really unique ride. It really has.
When you look back on all the years and all
the cast changes, it really is remarkable that we're still
in the building. This is such a rarity. I don't

(02:34:47):
know how many people in Orlando know how absolutely rare
it is for a radio personality to work in one
market their entire career, But it is ultimately rare.

Speaker 4 (02:34:57):
I would have written a book about the history of
real radio if I only kept a journal, because I
can't remember.

Speaker 3 (02:35:05):
I just, are you serious?

Speaker 4 (02:35:07):
There's so much little stuff that.

Speaker 3 (02:35:09):
Happened that I just but you do interviews. That's how
you do it. I'd do the same thing if I
was going to do this, because you know, Russ does
have a pretty darn good memory of the stuff that
happened with the show, and then other members I still
you know, obviously gangle on TC, I'm still in contact.
Good love those guys. They have memories as well. You
could go back to some of the old.

Speaker 4 (02:35:26):
Cast members and still interview them and do that I
think I'd want to do it as a video documentary.

Speaker 3 (02:35:31):
I'd be cool, dude, I'd be down for that. I'd
help you out as much as you want to cool.
Brian again, thanks so much, buddy. We appreciate that.

Speaker 6 (02:35:37):
Oh no, thank you guys for having me.

plank guy, because I was, do I go for a horticulturist.

Speaker 3 (02:36:32):
Horticulturist. That's a tough one, guys. That's like learning how
to say Arnold Palmer. You really have to try and
first of what I was.

Speaker 6 (02:36:40):
Then it's like falling up the stairs too.

Speaker 3 (02:36:42):
