Speaker 3 (01:22):
Is there?

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Yeah, something going on with your voice there? You're what's
just happened? I don't know what's up, Hubert.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
No, literally, it just happened.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
It just sounded like this for the first two.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
Hour and a half we were here.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
I do not know what happened. All of a sudden,
my voice just got like it's wild. That is crazy.
Maybe they'tle Clay up, who knows? Hey, you guys doing
it and everything yet good? Yeah, yeah, I have a
conspiratorial thing to start the show with a little bit today.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
I love those all of a sudden.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
I've got a quick question I have and this is
kind of a legit question, all right, oddly legit not legit,
maybe not. Do you think the leaders of the world
are chipped? Do you think that? What do you mean
by chip? Do you think there is an RFD chip
that's been attached to world leaders like we do our pets.

(02:15):
I mean, it seems implausible because there are so many
people insulating those people around the world, whether it be
any of the despots in the world, whether it be
our president, whether it be Canada's president, whether it be
any of the dignitaries in the world. Are they chipped
in case they get kidnapped? In case something happens? Do

(02:36):
we always know where these people are?

Speaker 6 (02:38):
I think Escape from New York was the last time
a president was kidnapped.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
But they could just wander off these days, you never know.
I could the last couple could just wander off. You
never know.

Speaker 6 (02:50):
I wouldn't be surprised at this point. I don't you
know they got an air tag.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
In their belt? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know
if it's in their skin. I obviously I don't think
that they on the in the nape of necks across
the world. When it comes to dignitaries, there are RFD chips,
but I wonder if in their clothing or in their
daily apparati that if there's something that kind of tracks
where they are and what they're doing.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
In case we have to issue a purple alert.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Mean, I don't know. I just kind of thought.

Speaker 6 (03:19):
I was like, when we do this to our pets,
has a president ever been missing?

Speaker 1 (03:25):
I don't think a president's ever been missing. Was that
Obama used to or was it Obama or Clinton that
used to go on walks all the time and i'ma
went out to smoke. Yeah, was it smoking?

Speaker 5 (03:35):
It was a bush you went out for a run
or for a bike ride.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
That's who it was. And this dude would disappear for
a couple hours. And I heard he was a nightmare
for Secret Service. Like I'm telling you, I think this
guy would go out like amongst the world without that
normal protection you would have as a president of the
United States. I don't know why I thought.

Speaker 5 (03:52):
That today explains your voice trying to shut you down?

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Is it what it is?

Speaker 7 (03:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (03:59):
I just gonna reading software. They're like quick get cover
it says.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
I actually wrote a note here says are they chipped?
Are a dignitaries chip? Do we know who they are
all the time?

Speaker 4 (04:08):
So what dispensary do you go to?

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, it's the one right up there us anyway. Also
the other thing too, is so the other night, I
don't know, you guys do game nights.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
With friends, now you'll.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Do game nights at all. I mean, I know that
we do poker, but poker's not considered like a game night, right,
because that's a specific thing. I mean when thing when
you go to game night, people are expecting like your
s categories or your monopoly or or whatever.

Speaker 6 (04:32):
Right, Right, I have there in the past. Very fun,
but it's just something that doesn't happen a lot.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Right, I would agree with that. So we do these
with Code Black and his wife Kelly. We go over
and play spades or whatever, and you know, we kind
of hang out because when we don't see each other
for a while and occasionally we'll get together and do
a game night. If you had to list what you
think is the game that would cause more divorces, what
would that be? Or or strife and relateationships? What would

(05:01):
that be? What game is that bridge?

Speaker 5 (05:03):
Bridge isn't there a game like truth or dare out there,
like one of those card games like you either have
to Well that's.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
The Cards against Humanity. But that's just that's just a
shock value thing. There are games out there, like I'll
give an example.

Speaker 5 (05:17):
Monopoly used to classically cause all of the fights when
you're growing up.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Like win loser, draw, right, or games like charades, right,
because if you aren't a good artist and you don't
understand how to convey those thoughts, it could get very frustrating.
Matter of fact, it's almost like a running.

Speaker 6 (05:32):
Joke, right, Yeah, it's like canoeing with your partner, right, right,
anything that brings if it involves team work, yeah, and
then now you're throwing a competitive component to it.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (05:45):
So like anything where you need the other person to
work with you to be able to I can see
that leading too tense situations.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Frustrations, right, because I mean, maybe you get it faster,
maybe you're a better explainer, whatever.

Speaker 8 (06:00):
Right.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
The reason I asked this is this, we went on
over to Code Black's house to play spades, and we're
starting to play spades, and we play spades for a
little bit, a couple of games. We just get her
we switched team. So I was with his wife and
he was with my wife. Ah, I knew that a
value get for the card game, and uh and we
just got slaughtered in spades, right, It's just just slought,

(06:21):
absolutely slaughtered. Then Code Black's wife says, our, let's play
this game, and the instant she said this, Code Black
looks at me and says, well, I just saw that
almost start a fistfight over Thanksgiving? Are you sure you
want to play this game? And I'm like, well, I
certainly want to play it now, you know, I want
to see what this thing has to offer. Have you

(06:43):
guys ever heard of the game catchphrase? I've heard the
name so catchphrase?

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Have you heard of uborahh I've heard the name.

Speaker 9 (06:49):
Right.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
It's a component, right, So you have this thing. It's
a disc and on the disc it actually when you
hit the button, it gives you a category. I think
they are like five or six categories fun and game,
you know, variety, geography, stuff like that, kind of a
trio pursuit kind of thing. Right, it flashes a topic
or a flash is a thing up on the screen.

(07:10):
You have to describe that thing and get your your
your partner, your partner to guess that without saying any
of the words or you know, doing any stuff like that. Right,
seemingly easy, right, Like if I were to say, if
it popped up and it said red, what would you say, Yeah,
fire truck is this color? Right? Right?

Speaker 7 (07:30):
Red?

Speaker 1 (07:30):
That's it. It's super simple. Some of them are very easy.
Some of them are very easy. Some of them are
very complicated, and you wouldn't think they're complicated. Don't play
this game. This game is a slaughter machine for relationships.
It's called catchphrase and if anybody out there listening, they understand.

(07:53):
I was trying to figure out what the worst game
is for relationships when it comes to creating scenarios that
could wind up being kind of sideways and man playing
this game for I think we played two rounds of it.
I was like, I could see where this could get
gross like quick, because if you're not like you try
to explain it. And the whole idea is once you

(08:13):
your partner guesses that you passed on to the next person,
the last person holding the thing, you know, the other
team gets the point. Like if we're playing and I
explained it to Deb and then deb capassit it to you,
Jack and you're trying to explain it to Naomi and
it buzzes while it's in your hands. We get the
point R right. It's like a hot potato. You want
to get rid of it. Man, I thought there were
some games out there could cause some strife. That thing was.

(08:37):
You could feel yourself going, God, how can you not
get this? How can you not get it? And the
same on the other side. You know they're explaining, You're like,
how am I not getting this? And the eye rolling?
Oh man, if you haven't tried that game, if you
haven't played it, it's a great Christmas gift and a
great game. Because I don't know that.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
There, I'd like to keep my relationship with Thank you.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
I don't even know if there's a limit of how
many people you can play. I mean, because it's just
a circle. You just keep pass. That's a thing around.
I think you probably play like four teams, maybe more
super fun though.

Speaker 6 (09:06):
So your best friend said when this game was proposed
that this nearly caused a fistfight at Thanksgiving, and then
you guys proceeded to play it for two rounds.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Couldn't wait to play it because I wanted to see
what he was talking about and you immediately can understand.
Apparently at their Thanksgiving there are a couple of sisters
that decided to team up. Oh sis, terrible, terrible decision.
Apparently those are the ones that almost went went for it, sister. Yeah, yeah,
all right, seven seven zero three to one. That's how
you text us powerball's gone crazy? Have you seen the number?

Speaker 4 (09:39):
No?

Speaker 1 (09:40):
So, have you seen it?

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Do No?

Speaker 1 (09:42):
Let me ask you guys a question real quick. Well,
you used to know when it was yet do you
do you believe that when you see a powerball during
the holiday season there's something more magical about it. No,
you don't really, You guys don't feel that. I mean
you're not really. I mean, it's seven hundred and seventy
million dollars right now.

Speaker 5 (09:58):
Oh, seven hundred and seventy seventy seven is God's numbers.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
So yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
The point being is this, right, we all kind of
understand the odds are astronomical. It's like one in three
hundred million or something, right like one in you. It's
you versus the United States when it comes to winning
the thing. So, but that doesn't matter. I don't know
that anybody really believes they're gonna win it. But I
believe that when the lottery is this big during the
holiday season, for some reason, it feels more magical because

(10:28):
some and Jack is laughing, He's not gonna laugh when
I say, why, why do you think I think that? Jack,
I'm about to bust every preconceived notion you have about me.
Why do you believe I think it's more magical this time.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
Of year because you believe in fairies and Santa Claus.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yeah, yeah, all that stuffy.

Speaker 4 (10:46):
No, that would be me, his would be money.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah, what did you think? Why would you think I
would be more magical? Like seven hundred seventy million dollars
virtually no chance to win it, But for some reason,
it feels more magical during the holiday season. Why do
you believe that?

Speaker 4 (10:59):
Is Well, it is the miracle season.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
It is the miracle season. It's your ability to think
about giving other people's stuff, Like you think about that
if you win seven hundred million dollars during the Christmas season,
you're already in that vibe of giving. I think the
whole idea of winning that kind of cash, you start
thinking about how many lives you can change, you know, friends, family,
whatever the case may be. Charitable organizations that you support.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
Now, that's a miracle.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
I just don't know what it was, but I saw
the thing that I'm like, oh, that feels more magical
for some reason to me. Like during the holiday season
odds just as bad, but for some reason, when I
saw it this morning, I was like, Oh, I gotta
go play, because if I win that seven hundred seventy
million dollars, I'm gonna be able to do some very
nice Christmas stuff. You guys don't believe me, Yeah, no,
I do.

Speaker 6 (11:45):
Sons a bitch, Yeah, well, I mean some people think
about giving all year long.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Some people think about it at the holidays. That's right,
you're right. Same thing with going to church, right, yeah, yeah,
what's that? They call them Easter Christmas Christians or something
like that. No seeing, Yeah, yeah, Christmas all right? Four
seven nine one six four one text us at seven
to seven zero three one w do you have for news?

Speaker 5 (12:09):
Well, hundreds gathered to honor a fallen Florida deputy. This
next one is gonna make Brevard County residents so happy.
Blue Origin wants to dump rocket wastewater in the Indian River.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
The one that they're spending hundreds of like tens of
millions of dollars to clean up, maybe even hundreds of millions.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
Yeah, that one didn't.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
They just donated, didn't. The Santas just clear like ninety
million dollars to keep that thing clean? Well okay, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (12:33):
And then how one Florida law enforcement agency celebrated giving Tuesday,
and I would encourage other law enforcement agencies.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
To follow their lead.

Speaker 5 (12:42):
All right, nice, we'll talk about that and more coming
up next during JCS news, you.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Got to say little break will come back and get
Deb's news and do more of the Jim Gord Show. Hey,
JC and Posse asked the question whether we thought pardon
government folks might be chipped. Well, I don't think they're chipped.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
I do think that's the possibility.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
They have Faraday cages built into their clothes so we
can't see the nasty things they do behind the scenes.
Keep fucking good work, y'all, keep the rubber sad down. Thanks, buddy.
Appreciate that you'd like to leave a talk back. It's easy.

(13:28):

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Oh, we'd really appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, welcome back. I'm Jim Jack is right
over there, and he looks good in the sweater. Apparently
they listeners love how he looks in his Henley Send
us money while you're at yeah there. All right, deb
has your news.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
It's time for JCS news. Wow, this guy gotta push
name on everything.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
It's in my contracted's the news on the June Colberg.
It's in the new one as well. It's in the
new and as well. Matter of fact, I just sitting
back to him and said, you've forgot this. You gotta
put it in there.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
Guys, exactly.

Speaker 5 (14:03):
It wouldn't be the same without it, all right, And
as always, JCS News is brought to you by that
mortgage guy, Don Somber. Moments inside a Zero Beach airplane hangar,
the scene of the funeral for a slain Deputy Indian
River Sheriff Sergeant A Terry Sweeting mash Cow was shot
and killed by a man while she attempted to serve
him an eviction notice. Sheriff Eric Flowers addressing a crowd

(14:26):
that included Governor Ron de Santis and Swedeing mash Cow's
fourteen year old daughter.

Speaker 10 (14:31):
Wow, Hailey, you can be sure that your mom was
loved by this agency and this community. To rest assured
that will always continue as you are always part of
the Sheriff's office family.

Speaker 5 (14:44):
Yeah, reminds you of so much cost out of that case.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Just unbelievable.

Speaker 5 (14:49):
So after today's memorial service, a procession of law enforcement
members brought the twenty five year sergeant's body to a
nearby cemetery for burial. Actual she was forty seven. She
was a twenty five year veteran of that agency. Governor
Ron DeSantis ordered flags across Florida lower to half staff
in her honor today. Meanwhile, an officer shot in Port
Saint Lucy on Monday remains in critical condition. Police say

(15:12):
Sergeant Eric Leva Sewer was hit twice in the face
while responding to a mental health call. He underwent surgery
and is in the ICU, while the suspect was killed
by return fire. In an update this morning, the department
thanked the community for its support and says it's hopeful
for the sergeant's recovery and also real quick, I did
want to bring this up. I got this as a

(15:33):
notification on my phone. A phone threat has prompted a
lockdown at two Brevard County schools. A third school is
on a shelter in place.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Okay, do we know what schools?

Speaker 5 (15:43):
I haven't gone into deep into the story yet. I'll
continue to look in that as fast as I can.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Yeah, sure, all right.

Speaker 5 (15:49):
A hearing for suspended Oscula County Sheriff Marcos.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
Lopez is scheduled. Lopez is scheduled for today.

Speaker 5 (15:57):
Prosecutors alleged that Lopez helped start an illegal casino and
Kassimi and used his power as sheriff to protect it.
Lopez is a strange wife, and one other suspect pled
guilty to money laundering last week in relation to the case,
and one even agreed to be a state witness. Lopez
is the only co defendant in the case that has
not yet taken a plea deal and is hearing got

(16:19):
underway at about one point thirty this afternoon. Did he
hear that some of them have turned state's witness? I
kind of don't know what he's doing.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
I don't either.

Speaker 5 (16:27):
I really think he's weighing on his popularity as the
Sheriff of Osila County.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yeah, really, that doesn't play with it. Well, I mean,
I guess it could play with a jury, but my goodness, man,
I know they got this guy dead nuts now they
have they have two state witnesses against this cat.

Speaker 11 (16:40):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
The problem is is, like we've told before, it if
he gets an opportunity to take a deal, he might
want to because the problem is, the jury isn't more
than likely going to be real sympathetic.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
Real quick. Wanted to give you an update.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
Satellite High School and nearby Dolora Middle School around lockdown
in Bavard County, while Holland Elementary is in a shelter
in place due to a threat that was fun ohoned
in to Satellite High School. We'll continue to keep you
updated on that story as we get more details. Lake
County commissioners plan to take the money that they were
going to give to Kroger and redirect it toward retraining

(17:13):
hundreds of employees they're set to lose their jobs when
Kroger's distribution center in Groveland closes at the end of January. Pamelone,
neighbors with Career Source Central Florida, says it's crucial to
help those workers now before their paychecks go away, and it's.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Really critical to get to them immediately in this time period,
in the sixty days before they lose their jobs, to
get them on a path to.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
A next job.

Speaker 5 (17:38):
The County Commission will send about four hundred thousand dollars
to support programs at local technical and community colleges. County
staffers are also looking at ways to claw back incentive
money paid to Kroger in previous years. The supermarket chain
is closing down its operations in Florida and shutting down
several distribution centers. It has no brick and mortar stores

(17:59):
inside the state.

Speaker 6 (18:00):
First of all, nice job Lake County on redirecting that
money to absolutely to help mitigate the those people are
going to experienced to losing their job. But does that
mean Kroger is out of the state completely? No more
ordering online from them?

Speaker 5 (18:15):
And well they're going to work with like door Dash
and Uber Eats. They're looking to grow their e business,
but not have the distribution centers anymore.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
How they're going to do that, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Yeah, so they have to have groceries, Well, you have
to have a fulfillment center.

Speaker 5 (18:30):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know how they're going to plan
to do it.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
And that's what I thought this was. I thought this
was a fulfillment center where you ordered, you went to
this place, you got your groceries to deliver them where
you get to deliver.

Speaker 5 (18:38):
And it's like one of three across the country that
are closing. State health officials are investigating a possible Legionnaire's
disease outbreak at a local gym. A forty five year
old woman was admitted to Health Central Hospital in Orlando
for four days before Thanksgiving with a fever of one
hundred and five.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Degrees that'll kill you.

Speaker 5 (18:57):
Staff told the woman that seven patients to attend the
same Crunch Fitness location on Silver Star Road were recently
diagnosed with the disease. Officials in Florida say they have
been fifty nine cases of Legionnaires legion Oh yeah, no,
I'm not gonna try that.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Try it.

Speaker 4 (19:14):
You have to legion aleosis.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Okay, that's fine.

Speaker 5 (19:17):
In twenty twenty five compared to forty eight and twenty
twenty four.

Speaker 4 (19:20):
Actually, that was.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Literac to not even believe they got a dan. Guy
has no idea if it's right in ding you that's
her Jim question.

Speaker 7 (19:28):
Here.

Speaker 5 (19:30):
An outbreak in New York City this August left sixty
people sick and three people dead. And something I'd heard
on local news stations earlier was that apparently this building
had been a possible sight of legionnaires before. Oh really, yeah,
so this is like get on it.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
So it's got shelf life.

Speaker 5 (19:46):
But like I always say, see going to them, going
to the gym is bad for you.

Speaker 12 (19:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Stop.

Speaker 5 (19:51):
The city of Daytona Beach is receiving more than fifty
four million dollars to update wastewater and drinking water infrastructure
to manage severe storms. The money was awarded through the
Supplemental Appropriation for Hurricane Selene and Milton program. Now, the
money can't be used for general flood mitigation projects, but
utilities officials are going to seek the advice of a

(20:12):
consultant on how best to use the funding. Now that
sounded smart, right, Actually ask someone what's the best way
for us to use this fifty four million dollars. City
officials will continue to share updates as the details are
finalized and then over in My Neck of the Woods,
a city in Lake County hopes the federal government will
help repair flood damage. The Mount Dora City Commission will

(20:35):
meet today to discuss how much it'll cost to fix
the damage caused by those October storms. Mayor James Homitch
estimates that repairs will cost over two million dollars. I
saw one estimate for Donnelly Street at like five million.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
Yeah, yeah, I heard the two today. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (20:49):
And he hopes the feds will cover twenty percent, because
he tells Wes two, it'll be hard on the taxpayers
if we have to pay for everything ourselves.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
It's crazy that so the cities don't have insurance on
some infrastructure things are No.

Speaker 5 (21:03):
I really don't know. I would assume that they do, Yeah, yeah,
but I don't. I really don't know.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah. No, we hope the owners Association had insurance on
that bridge that led into their neighborhood, But I'm not
sure how that works with a city not either.

Speaker 5 (21:17):
And I don't know if because it didn't have a
name and it wasn't attached to a tropical system that
it couldn't be tied to the hurricane season. You would
think that they do, but pros all right. The House
State Affairs Committee is considering four constitutional amendments to reduce
property taxes proposed for the November ballot. Today, Casey Cook
with the Florida League of Cities says, there are thirty

(21:38):
seven cities that can't afford the mandate to fund law
enforcement if property taxes are cut.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
But that's not all.

Speaker 13 (21:46):
If you were to expand the definition of law enforcement
to include the public safety including fire and ems, the
list goes up to one hundred and sixteen cities, meaning
they eliminate every other service that they provide they are
only public safety still have a deficit.

Speaker 5 (22:01):
Cook also warrens reducing property taxes may ding the state's
credit rating, as the state also doesn't have sales tax revenue.
Other opponents of reducing property taxes local governments may have
to increase fees to make up the difference. The governor
says homeowners should not have to pay rent in the
form of property taxes.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
How do we fund the government? Then, this whole property
tax thing has been has been a very interesting math
problem for me to think about the whole time it's
been proposed.

Speaker 6 (22:31):
Yet everyone likes to say, hey, would you like to
pay lesson taxes? You're going to say yes, But I
mean we do pay taxes for police protection, fire protector,
structure and infrastructure.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Absolutely, and do not understand about it.

Speaker 6 (22:46):
And so if there's no state income tax and it
can't all come from the sales.

Speaker 5 (22:50):
Tax, no, And my worry is that you know, they'll
light this bomb and then not be you know, they'll
be out of office or not have to answer when
when the fiscal responsibility comes crashing down on our shoulders.
Over half a billion dollars in repairs are needed in
our state parks. That's according to our report released yesterday
by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. It finds the

(23:12):
state's one hundred and seventy five parks need about seven
hundred and sixty.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
Million dollars in the pairs.

Speaker 5 (23:18):
Yeah, most of the money is needed to fix visitor centers, restrooms,
and other facilities. Martin County Republican State Senator Gail Harrell
pushed for the law that mandated the report. She tells
the Tampa Bay Times, it's a first step in making
sure our parks remain the best in the country.

Speaker 7 (23:36):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (23:36):
And then onto the story that we teased before the
break that made you made a lot of people go
what because brevarc County residents are being asked to weigh
in on a controversial request from Blue Origin. The company
is asking the state to allow it to dump rocket
wastewater in the Indian River.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Well, come on, now, let's hear it out. Hear out
the idea. Yeah, what's the plan.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
The County Commission is meeting today to discuss the request
to The commission has no jurisdiction on the issue, but
it wants to gather feedback from residents and then present
those to the state.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
Let me help you out. Everybody's gonna say no bank,
no right.

Speaker 6 (24:18):
So, and the area is on a wildlife refuge, yes, yeah, right, and.

Speaker 5 (24:24):
You have the estuary there, and I mean that's part
of the reason why Save the Manitee Club and other
organizations sued because they said they weren't doing enough to
clean up the Indian River lagoon, specifically with the seagrass
die off and everything else.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Now, do we have any real idea if this water
is really bad?

Speaker 6 (24:40):
That's what I'm wondering now, because like listen, so, what
is rocket water is that when they launch, you know,
they they flood the launch pad with water because it
absorbs the shock and the sound.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
But the heat and that's what are pumped in from
the from the bay there, right? Or is it the ocean? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (24:59):
Yeah, the so it's like they're using that one. Is
that the water?

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Like? What is rocket water?

Speaker 4 (25:05):
Well, we do know that we bought someone sell it.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
I know what Native Americans thought it was.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
Yeah, Well we know that a lot of people work
on the space coast.

Speaker 4 (25:12):
They'll let us, they'll let us know what it is.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Yeah, because I mean when you see the nuclear reactor water,
it's the water they used to cool the reactor. But
it is radioactive, so it has to be stored a
certain ways, so you'd only assume it's water used to
cool like Jack is saying during the launch process or
sound Actually it's really bad, you knows well.

Speaker 5 (25:30):
Commissioner Katie Delaney says she finds the request really troubling.
Blue Origin Tel's Fox thirty five. This is a renewal
of an existing agreement that has been in place over
five years.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
But did they know about it?

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Just pumping into Bezos's pool there you go, right, yeah,
like the Aaron Brockovich movie.

Speaker 5 (25:51):
Just slide that glass of water over to those attorneys
for the agility and have them drink it out.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
One of the greatest scenes in movie history. And the
funny thing is when they open that scene, do you
see that pitcher of water in those three glasses. You
know it's coming, you.

Speaker 5 (26:02):
Know it's going to happen, and you also know they're
not going to drink it.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Got a chance.

Speaker 5 (26:06):
Now, I've been checking on Twitter. I haven't seen anything yet,
but a SpaceX Falcon nine is set to launch any
moment now this afternoon from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Yes,
Jimmy and Case you were wondering, and don't worry, honey.
It's going to carry another twenty nine star Link Internet
satellites into Low Earth orbit, left off schedule during a
four hour window that opened at three sixteen this afternoon,

(26:27):
with the rocket heading southeast. SpaceX has another Starlink launch
scheduled for Sunday at the Kennedy Space Center, followed by
a classified mission for the National Reconnaissance Office from Cape
Canaveral next Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
It's something that spices on mothers chips exactly.

Speaker 6 (26:44):
D We got a rug next to say the water
at the launch height is not pumped in from the ocean.

Speaker 5 (26:49):
Okay, that are they saying? If it's safe to be
dumped into the Indian middy.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Didn't we get told that? Didn't we get told that
during a tour? Then when they used to launch the
shuttle the sh or do the shuttles go up that
water was pumped in from the.

Speaker 5 (27:02):
I always thought it was water that was on property. Yeah,
huge water tanks that they had.

Speaker 11 (27:07):
Well.

Speaker 5 (27:07):
Meanwhile, SpaceX will be able to expand its footprint at
Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The Air Force yesterday approved
of the company's plans to build launch pads for the
Starship and Super Heavy Rocket. SpaceX says construction has already started.
Ah speaking of things in the sky, don't be concerned.
But if you see flames near Tampa International Airport this.

Speaker 4 (27:30):
Week, don't be alarmed.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Do what happened?

Speaker 5 (27:33):
Tampa Fire Rescue is holding its annual live fire training
through Thursday.

Speaker 7 (27:37):
Now.

Speaker 5 (27:38):
These are FAA Mandata drills and they use jet a
aircraft fuel that creates fireballs up to forty feet high
that can be.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
Seen for miles sam reu.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
So they want the public to know if you're going
to be driving anywhere near there, do not worry.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
It is a live drill.

Speaker 5 (27:55):
The exercises are controlled and not open to the public.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
Yeah, and I guess he was not going to know
that social media when you see four hundred million posts
like that person could be in the press conference selling
them that and they're still going to freak out put
a post up. I mean, we're all dead aliens are here.

Speaker 5 (28:13):
It's kind of like when you see a SpaceX launch
from California, Vandenburgh's base. They never seem to be aware
that there's going to be a launch. And the social
media is so much fun.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
It's the greatest.

Speaker 6 (28:21):
It's like, oh man, that happens all the time. Here
brought a Matt says. The launch is now expected for
four thirty one.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
Four thirty one. Thank you, Matt.

Speaker 14 (28:29):
I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (28:30):
Like I said, I was following on Twitter but our
X and just couldn't get an update all right. Today
is Giving Tuesday, the charitable follow up to Black Friday
and Cyber Monday. The event, launched in twenty twelve, asks
people to give money, time, or support to any number
of causes, communities, nonprofit organizations. Each year, millions take part

(28:51):
through donations and volunteerism.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
That's cool.

Speaker 5 (28:53):
It is cool and what I think I would like
to encourage other law enforcement agencies to follow the lead
of police in one Gulf Coast community who spent a
giving Tuesday pumping free gas.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
Drivers, Wow, really, wouldn't that be a treat?

Speaker 7 (29:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (29:08):
I think three twenty one a gallon. We long a
glast night. Wow.

Speaker 4 (29:14):
It just dropped at two ninety nine today.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
The seven to eleven right up there was three twenty
one a gallon, laughed. I laughed when I pulled in.
Every place o' scene is under three bus exactly.

Speaker 5 (29:23):
They even said the national average today for the first time,
dipped to two ninety nine.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (29:28):
They must have seen you coming.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Yeah, I think they did well.

Speaker 5 (29:30):
Officers in Sarasota visited three stations across the city filling
tanks with money donated by the Sarasota Police Foundation and
Crime Stoppers that's Saracena County. Yeah. Each group contributed one
thousand dollars for the giveaway. Officers surprise drivers, you should
never do that by taking a photo with them first,
then revealing they were about to fill up their tanks

(29:53):
for free.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Wow. You know, we did a thing years ago called
the gas Man, remember that giant. Yeah, the gas Man,
and we would just show up to a random station
and then put this, you know, put the word out
that we were there. We did one in Bine Hills
one time, and we put the word out and it
got scary. I mean it got and we had our
sales manager was uh, they called him gas Man. He

(30:16):
had like a like a superhero suit. He looked like
one of the Incredibles. Right, Oh cool, the fat uncle.
That didn't make it incredible, like the not so incredible
and incredible and and I'm telling you it was, yeah,
it was. It was a pretty it was harrowing. I
mean even back then, gas was probably like, you know,
two bucks a gallon or whatever, and people were losing

(30:37):
their gd mind. And I'm telling you that line went
for a minute. We pumped the station completely empty. Did
you really sure? Did? Wow?

Speaker 4 (30:44):
Well?

Speaker 5 (30:44):
I mean again, gas is one of those things you
have to have, But man, can it eat into your budget?

Speaker 4 (30:49):
Oh yeah, especially when you're paying three twenty one a gallon?

Speaker 1 (30:51):
Yeah, and you live thirty miles. And here's the other
thing too, I mean, commuting is such a part of
life in Central Florida anymore. It didn't used to be
that way. It used to be where you could afford
a house or five six miles from work and get
there in no time. Now you have to live in
bum f and have to drive forty minutes. So you
to forty house.

Speaker 5 (31:07):
Oh and you're lucky if it's only forty minutes. Right,
that's with tolls, Yeah exactly. And that's with tolls. And
I guess there's a toll road that they're planning to
bring to Polk County, are they really?

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Yeah? Yeah, God bless them by the time you guys
got it.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
Exactly.

Speaker 6 (31:20):
You can't have grady and not tolls. It's just not fair. Okay,
Now we have a SpaceX. We have a mole.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
Yeah we did, Yeah, we do.

Speaker 6 (31:28):
Five eighteen is a launch. And we have another mole
that said they paid two forty four a gallon at
Bjay's this morning for gas forty four gallon gym.

Speaker 4 (31:37):
Yeah, two forty four gym. Did you hear that?

Speaker 1 (31:39):
You know what the funny thing is? I wonder if
it's like they they literally dropped it overnight or something.
I know for I paid that money for that that gas.
I'm not making that up.

Speaker 5 (31:46):
Oh no, yesterday we covered gas prices and there was
still over three dollars. But today, the gas price story
was that it's now two ninety nine except the station. Um,
she didn't get the memo.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
You're putting super in that. I don't. I don't even
believe in that. But the thing is is, like I
could tell by total sell because I run my tank empty.
It said you have zero miles when I pulled up,
So I mean, I don't, I am I love That's
my good. That's my favorite game in the world. By
the way, roll like that.

Speaker 4 (32:10):
I get terrified.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
I call it drift. And I pulled it on fume,
so I know I was dead empty. So you know,
when I do that, I know exactly how much it
should cost when gas is reasonable. And last night my
tank was almost seventy dollars to pill up. And when
it's reasonable, it's only like in the high fifties or
low sixties. Wow, they hit me.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
Wow, I'm pissed if it goes over thirty Yeah yeah, yeah, Well,
I mean you guys drive little cars.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
I d have a big old mud truck, yeah, but
tiny little ranger.

Speaker 5 (32:46):

We are you so much. We're caring. We appreciate that, Olivia. Okay, Olivia,
with the four of us, who do you think you
had the best week this week?

Speaker 12 (35:40):
I have to go with female solidarity, and I'm going
to go with depth.

Speaker 6 (35:44):
Oh, Olivia, that's so sweet that you chose Debra.

Speaker 4 (35:47):
It's not a good tone right there, that is. I'm
so sorry, Olivia.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
She knew already.

Speaker 5 (35:53):
I won't let him finish because you know, if that happened,
I didn't win.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
It's such as just completely just reach her immediately.

Speaker 6 (36:01):
Deb started out this year so strong, was leading is
in second place for the season, but unfortunately with only
eight right finished in last place. This you don't even
leapt despite her team winning on Thanksgiving, congratulations to them.

Speaker 4 (36:18):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 5 (36:19):
But I should have picked I should not have picked
the Chiefs.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
You and everybody else. All right, two, three, four or five? E? Two?
Is Jeff? Jeff? How you doing?

Speaker 3 (36:31):
I'm good?

Speaker 15 (36:32):
What's going on?

Speaker 1 (36:32):
Not much? Buddy? Deb is out. She did not win
this week. So it's between myself, Jack and Ross. Who
do you think did the best? Buddy?

Speaker 4 (36:40):
I think you're dude.

Speaker 16 (36:41):
Jimmy, I'm going with you.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Oh boy, you are correct that Jimmy is due man.
Sorry Jeff, bye, Sorry, Joff. We light he did have

I've been listening to you since the montag Day months.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
Today's thank you so much. We appreciate that very much.
All right, now, between Ross and Jack, who do you
think at the best week this week?

Speaker 15 (37:25):
You know what, that freaking Ross has been winning too much.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
I'm going with Jackie. Oh, Al, thank you, baby. I
agree with you. Ross has been winning too.

Speaker 6 (37:35):
Much and very alhitches, it's all lot.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
One again this week. Ow you are gone, you are gone.
I'll go right here. I'll save you the pick there, Chris, Chris,
how you doing about it?

Speaker 7 (37:48):
That name?

Speaker 8 (37:49):
Good?

Speaker 4 (37:49):
Now?

Speaker 1 (37:49):
Are you guys doing great? Chris? Who do you think
wanted this week?

Speaker 3 (37:53):
You know I was.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
Gonna pick Roast from the very beginning because I remember
he picked.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
He was only one that picked Dallas.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
Oh you're Chris, You're a winner, Chris. It was just something. Yeah, yeah, Chris,
what do you o?

Speaker 11 (38:07):
Us?

Speaker 1 (38:13):
Dos give card from Frocker's grill and bar headed your
way as soon as we go to break, Jack will
take good care of you. Yeah. Ross is on fire.
I mean he this is like one of the best
years I've seen any single person have. Actually, it was
two years ago.

Speaker 6 (38:27):
He did well, started out slow, did well, so he
had a little streak. He just had back to back
wins with eleven. Right, Jimmy, you and I were two
picks behind him, and you and I both swung and
missed on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
Yeah, we did not make our picks on Thanksgiving, so
I missed the first three games.

Speaker 6 (38:44):
It was worse for me. I made my picks, I
got all three wrong.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
Yeah, I would have gotten one of those games, right.
I think you and I talked about this a little
bit I think I would have gotten one of them.
I can't remember which one it was, but I would
have missed the others for sure. Baby Detroit, I had Detroit.
They had Detroit.

Speaker 6 (39:00):
Kansas City lost to Dallas. I had Kansas City and
Kansas City.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (39:04):
And then the night game was Cincinnati and the Ravens.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Yes, and I would have taken it. I would have
taken the Bengals there. That's that's exactly which one I
would have won.

Speaker 5 (39:13):
And I'm so glad I did not follow Polymarket's recommendation
and changed my pick last night because the Giants did
not beat the Patriots.

Speaker 6 (39:20):
They did not, And Debbie, and Debbie, I'm glad you
pointed that out because on that when I pointed out
that the Giants had the advantage on poly Market, I
actually clicked the link, and the advantage was the betting
with the point spread of a.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
Yeah, that's what you have to really pay attention to
when you look up odds online when it comes to
our game. Our game is just straight up. So you
could actually find somebody that'll pick a team because of
the spread, hasn't I mean, they may still think that
team will lose, but what they're saying is that team
will cover the spread, so that will screw you over
a little bit. That's why you have to go. I
was talking to my wife about this last night, the

(39:57):
very thing about looking at odds and because we were
from a polymarket, because I was like, man, have you
ever heard of this? You know, and we started talking
about it. She says that sounds dangerous. It sounds dangerous.

Speaker 4 (40:08):
It is, and I'm glad I didn't change my pick.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
Yeah. Watch, I watched three quarters of it. Oh did
you see the kicker? Oh yeah, that's the the I'm
stopping the kick thing. What was that?

Speaker 6 (40:21):
He kicked the ground. He went to kick the ball
and he kicked the ground, never hit the ball.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
I thought he stopped because he thought the hold was bad,
so he was trying to pull his leg back. I
didn't know he like he, you know, basically stubbed it.
Oh it was it was really odd. Yeah, yeah, all right?
Four seven nine one six four one text seven seven
zero three one. Thanks Froggers. We appreciate that. Again for
these locations to serve you all throughout Central Fida if
you're looking for anywhere to watch football or any sports

Find the Froggers near you at Froggers dot com.

Speaker 19 (41:17):
Hey, everybody else really live on the Space Coast And
I'm hearing a lot about this rocket water in the
Indian River issue. And my thoughts are you know, if
they're capable of collecting and transporting this water to dump
it in the river, why not just collect it and
use it for other rockets? And if it can't be
used for other rockets, it doesn't belong in the river.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
Okay, I love you, goodbye.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
That's a great point.

Speaker 12 (41:42):
Rocket water in the Indian River.

Speaker 7 (41:44):
So I have a better idea. Why don't we just
dump it.

Speaker 20 (41:48):
Into the Blue Origin owners living room?

Speaker 7 (41:52):
How would they like that?

Speaker 12 (41:54):
Come on, man, how do how does this even happen?
It's just dumbfounding.

Speaker 20 (41:59):
I agree, have a beautiful day and hope you had

Jack has to offer here in just a few seconds. Deborah.

Speaker 5 (43:32):
Yeah, I offered up a couple of short videos about
Padre Guillermey O Father Guillermey, a Roman Catholic priest who
just also happens to be a really cool DJ.

Speaker 4 (43:43):
Yeah with electronic music.

Speaker 5 (43:45):
Yeah, yeah, he didn't start off as a DJ, but
I found his story to be really fascinating. You know,
the Pope Leo just recently, pop Leo the fourteenth recently
had Padre Giarmy perform a rave for an archbishop's seventy
fifth birthday, because what seventy five year old doesn't want
to raise ry?

Speaker 1 (44:03):
Yeah, and how old is Padre by the way, it
was hard for me to tell. He looks like it
maybe in his mid fifties, that's.

Speaker 5 (44:08):
What I'm thinking, because he wasn't He didn't join the
priesthood until nineteen ninety nine.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
Right, it was like in his thirties, was yeah.

Speaker 5 (44:14):
Exactly exactly, So I thought it was it's just a
completely different look than what you expect coming out of
the Catholic Church.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
I would agree with that one thousand percent. I got
to tell you, I thought this was really a fascinating choice.
I'll tell you why. There was a movement in the
you know, i'll just say Christian, but Baptist is what
I would you know. I went to church for you know,
in Baptist churches primarily, and I remember about like fifteen,
maybe a little bit longer than that. And people who

(44:42):
go to church regularly may be able to chime in
and help out. Well. There was a definitive movement to
change music in churches. It had become you know, that
old hymnal kind of stuff had become a little stiff.
Churches started losing population at an alarming rate going through
the late nineties and two thousands, and they did everything
they can to start bringing people back in, younger people

(45:02):
by upgrading the music choices. And I will tell you
they did a great job. I said this before the
church we went to when we lived in Baldwin Park
which is over by over by the Fashion Square mall.
There was a church there that had a band that
sounded like Lumford and Sons. I mean they were and
I'm not joking it was. It was exactly like stand
up base, the whole kind of American folk kind of

(45:24):
thing with music you would hear in church. It was fascinating.
It was one of my favorite things that has been
added into modern church experiences. Fast forward to this thing.
I don't think there's one religion that this fits better.
I seriously do not think there's one religion that this
whole idea of raving with church fits better. When you

(45:46):
saw that rave and you can see the video, go
to Jim corber live dot com go to the what
did you do That's new master list. You can actually
see the videos what we're talking about them and they're
doing it from what church was that for the rave?

Speaker 4 (45:57):
Oh, that was in front of a fourteenth century besides.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
The cathedral kind of things, and there were thousands of people.
They are all young people, and with the light show
and the cross like in the background and the sounds
of man, this fits like it fits like that. It
seemed normal.

Speaker 4 (46:15):
He doesn't use secular music, so.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
I know he doesn't mean it doesn't matter who to tell.

Speaker 5 (46:19):
For the audience to know he uses, you know, Catholic music.
He just puts it to electronica.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
Yes exactly.

Speaker 5 (46:25):
He mixes it up, it makes it sound great, and
still wears his clerical collar while he's djaying. In fact,
the uh uh former Pope France this God Rest his
Soula's was the one who blessed his headphones.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
Oh really, it's so funny. Yah yeah, I mean, well,
you guys are Catholics.

Speaker 18 (46:39):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
I don't have like a connection to the Catholic Church.
Does this like? And they said they got a lot
of pushback, but it doesn't really say what kind of
pushback or where they got that. It doesn't say if
it came the Catholics from other Catholics or within the church,
which I found. I wish they would have really kind
of gone there a little bit more because I would
like to know what the church thinks about it.

Speaker 6 (46:57):
Well, first of all, I like the idea of this.
The documentary itself is AI trash. Oh yeah yeah, And
it's a thing that is becoming more and more prevalent,
especially on YouTube. Is just AI generated video that was AI.
Audio is AI written and AI edited. You could tell

(47:20):
when they take words like he went on the mission.
They have this slow shot of a helicopter flying over.
The video did not match. It was just showing random
rave videos. So the the that video itself is trash. However,
the idea of what we're talking about the topic is

(47:41):
very interesting.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
The video of the rave isn't isn't AI produced it.

Speaker 5 (47:45):
It's the short documentary that I had a really hard
time finding something within our time constraints that would give
you a little bit of background as to and he
didn't start as a DJ.

Speaker 6 (47:54):
To Deb's credit, the pick I have is also AI,
and I have searched and every up with so many
different ones.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
But you can.

Speaker 5 (48:02):
Tell, especially with the audio toward the end, you're like, oh, yeah,
I want to tell.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
You something's interesting about that. Like I never even considered
that because I was so into the story. I never
considered who or what made it. I didn't. That really
didn't even affect me. I thought the story was going on.

Speaker 6 (48:16):
I was looking at the the images and stuff, and
it's just interesting the repeating shots and you can tell
some stock footage.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
It was just hack editing. No no, no, no, no, it
was hack editing, but it was AI hack.

Speaker 6 (48:28):
Yeah, but it's it's like, I think we are being
inundated now with AI content and because guess what, people
don't care. If you're getting clicks, if you're watching and
you're seeing the ads, that's all that matters to them,
So they do they can just keep throwing stuff out there.
The topic itself is interesting. What I find interesting about

(48:51):
a rave. You know what makes a rave works, ecstasy, MDMA, drugs.
It's interesting to see where those two things really meant.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
And that's not for everybody, I think. I think rave
festivals have certainly gotten the reputation of being you know,
ecstasy care you know, like a train for that, But
I don't know that everybody does it. I understand what
you're saying, yeah, because there is that, But I think
that everything that where religion and secular worlds meet, there's
going to be those questions. Right, And it's interesting that
you say the AI thing, because you're one hundred percent right.

(49:25):
I wanted. I was like, man, you know, who's mad
at him? Like when the minute they said that, he
got pushback, I was like, who's pushing back? Is it?
People in the church. Is it people? Is it people
who go to the church? Is it the parishioners? Like
I would have to know more about that, But you're
right because a I would never deep dive into that
and lets you ask it.

Speaker 6 (49:40):
Now, if it was a documentary, it would be they
would have interviewed him. Yeah, it would have interviewed you know,
other people. But it was just like they take the
available It searches finding the available information on this uh
DJ priest and then you know, it throws that together,
it puts up content.

Speaker 1 (49:57):
What led you to choose this? What wormhole were you
in where you saw this and chose?

Speaker 5 (50:03):
Actually I was on social and saw one of his
performances and was just blown away by the fact that
there was a priest performing you know, this kind of music.
And then at first it was like, well, that's that's
really kind of But then the more I thought about
it and realized, you know, like what Pope Leo wants
is for young people to see that the church sees them.

Speaker 1 (50:20):
Right.

Speaker 5 (50:21):
It doesn't always have to be you know, the hymns
that you sing at Mass. It can be a priest
being a priest in a completely modern era for a
new generation that may not connect with the church of
their parents and grandparents, so the church has to figure
out a way to reach out to them to get
them interested in being Catholic.

Speaker 6 (50:40):
It wasn't up there, log I when you assigned it.
It was only up there for like five days. It
was a pretty fresh video. Now, the first video that
was about ninety seconds long where they show a video
of Pope Leo blessing the crowd and so that was
the real DJ.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
Yeah, the priest DJ, and that was that was legit.

Speaker 4 (51:00):
That was his crowd.

Speaker 6 (51:01):
Yeah, that was a real event that occurred. It's the
other accompanying double under which was the ai thing that.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
Was they told the story about it, but the rave
part was the coolest part anyway. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (51:11):
I mean if you see his performance at Christ the
Redeemer at Rio de Janeiro, or when he performed at
Youth Day and Lisbon, Portugal, a million and a half
people showed up.

Speaker 1 (51:20):
Yeaheah.

Speaker 4 (51:20):
You know.

Speaker 5 (51:20):
So it I like that message of will come to you,
We'll come to you and speak your language, you know.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
Yeah, it's a message you have to happen.

Speaker 5 (51:30):
Whatever you're doing, you have to happen if you want
to reach gen Z and alpha and you have to
be able to speak that language that they understand and
let them know that you're part of this too.

Speaker 1 (51:41):
Yeah. Yeah, interesting do you think like so, I believe
that this works for the church if they create the
event and people come there. I don't think this worked
for the church if he tours with no Yeah, but
I would think it would have to be only him.
I don't believe that he could bring any other element
from that world into that and still maintain the credibility
of doing it as a as a a witness scene tool.

(52:07):
Did I mention the drug part?

Speaker 5 (52:08):
Yeah, And that would be part of the issue, because again,
none of his music is secular.

Speaker 4 (52:13):
It's it's all actual church music.

Speaker 5 (52:14):
It's just been remixed to electronic beat with laser lights.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
You know when you get that Italian that that that Pope,
the Pope intro to that thing.

Speaker 4 (52:23):
Like he did an after party after the conclave.

Speaker 1 (52:26):
Voice a voice, though, is so resonant when you get
to those those speakers, and it's it really, I'm telling you,
when you watch it, go and watch it, because I'm
telling you this.

Speaker 4 (52:34):
Watch the rave one.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
It fits so well to that whole scene. Very cool.

Speaker 6 (52:39):
It's definitely. It's definitely cool. And and I mean and churches,
not only churches, all institutions are all right, institutions, they've
all they've been losing oh yeah, people for.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
For years and years and years. It's continuing.

Speaker 5 (52:53):
But gen Z, they say, is actually that first generation
and somebody that's bouncing back and kind of returning to
or organized religion just because the world is so out
of sorts and they, you know, trying to find their way.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (53:04):
I applaud you know, pod exactly keep trying.

Speaker 5 (53:08):
Exactly out there rocking the beat with this clerical caller.

Speaker 4 (53:11):
I thought that was really cool.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
All right, Jack, what are you that first? Buddy? Good
job by the way, Okay.

Speaker 6 (53:15):
Speaking to AI, I knew what I wanted. I found
a video and I'm like, okay, there's got to be better.
And then I started searching, so I finally found one.
It is sixteen minutes long, okay, sixteen and a half
minutes long. It is available on YouTube, and the season

(53:36):
times out nicely, I believe perfectly for this.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
It is the history of Ranking in Bass Christmas Special.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:45):
I love it.

Speaker 4 (53:47):
He knows his audience. Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 6 (53:50):
I've already watched a few of them, and then I'm like,
all right, I tried to find the one that was.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
You know, I've that kind of summed it all up,
you know, I just saw the one that popped up
the other day. It's one of the real rare ones.
It's the year without Santa Claus. Yeah, that's a rare
one that doesn't really get a lot of play. Like
Little Drummer Boy you never see that doesn't get a
lot of play either. And uh and again a very
popular one, nothing never gets played.

Speaker 6 (54:12):
Well, you were that Santa Claus. What made that the hit?
It was was basically the Heat Miser, right.

Speaker 1 (54:18):
Yeah, mister Heat. I'm mister dude.

Speaker 5 (54:24):
It was on like TBS or tn T recently, because
you remember there was that one day where I watched
it twice in a row.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
That's right, all right, very good? How long is it?
Eighteen minutes?

Speaker 4 (54:33):
Sixteen?

Speaker 1 (54:33):
Many?

Speaker 18 (54:34):
All right?

Speaker 1 (54:34):
Very good? Alright? For our seven nine one six one
o four one, you can always text us at seven
seven zero three one schools. My friend could be in
big trouble, but not those kind of schools, I'll explain.

Speaker 9 (54:57):
Proudly sponsored since day one by Glenn Clausman, Boston, lal
dot com.

Speaker 16 (55:02):
Hi, Jack, you were talking about the AI videos on
YouTube and how kind of garbage they are. I was
watching one the other night about former country singers that
have kind of disappeared from view and one of the
singers was Julie Roberts, and the AI video kept showing

(55:26):
pictures of the actress Julia Roberts, and I'm like, this
is really bothering me and I couldn't figure out why.
And when you said that, I knew exactly why.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
Then, So have a good day. Thanks anybody, Jack, I
named my son after you, No I didn't. His name
is Jack.

Speaker 6 (55:43):
Can you say that everybody in Orlando is proud that
Jack pooped in the potty for the first time.

Speaker 15 (55:50):
I would really appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (55:52):
I love you guys.

Speaker 6 (55:53):
Yay, everyone in Orlando was proud that Jack pooped in
the potty for the first time.

Speaker 3 (55:59):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
That is a major milestone for a parent, that's for sure.
Oh yeah, you know, Ross supposed to be here today.
Of course it's Tuesday. But he just learned to poop
in a potty. Yeah, he was home celebrating. Yeah, but,
like I say, had some travel issues. I gotta text.
We all got a text saying that traveling with the
baby is way different. I'm sure we'll hear that story.

Speaker 6 (56:19):
The first sex I got from him, it was four
thirty five our time.

Speaker 1 (56:23):
Don't know what he was doing, am Yeah, oh boy.

Speaker 4 (56:26):
Oh wow. Oh that's a not a good wake up.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
That's a not a good wake up.

Speaker 4 (56:31):
Hey.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
Yeah, I'm Jim. There's deb Yeah Jack is here as well. Yeah.
So with the AI like you'll you'll watch it's like
debate you with oh, the.

Speaker 6 (56:44):
The ten Worst Guests Dave Dave Letterman reveals his ten
worst guests ever.

Speaker 1 (56:49):
And then you know you're looking at it.

Speaker 6 (56:51):
And it's like, well, oh, the pictures don't quite match up.

Speaker 1 (56:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (56:54):
Yeah, they did one and they mentioned I was watching
one video it was on the rank in the best
one right get it? And they talked about late at
night and they suddenly a picture Johnny Carson showed up.
Oh wow, like wild like late night or something. Yeah,
like it makes this connection because it tries to match.
Like in the documentary deb had his watch, they mentioned
he went on the trip and his mission is this,

(57:17):
So they took trip and mission and they show a
military helicopter flying over.

Speaker 5 (57:21):
My favorite was we're talking about a priest to DJ's
raves and they show rave scenes with like headless mannequins
and cages, and I wanted.

Speaker 6 (57:29):
To yell no.

Speaker 4 (57:31):
I was trying to figure that they wouldn't have done
he doesn't do that.

Speaker 1 (57:34):
As his show, and they kept showing.

Speaker 5 (57:35):
That, and yet his crowd was so much smaller than
the priest. You know, now what I do on social media,
I'll go to the comments before I'll like a video
and go to the comments to make sure it's not AI.

Speaker 1 (57:48):
Yeah, because they immediately tell you there are a lot
of animal ones out there, a lot of animal attack
AI videos, yeah, which is wild because there was just
a real did you see the real one here recently?
I think it was just a couple of days ago.
Some kid crawl into a lions cage at a zoo
overseas somewhere and the lioness did lion s stuff. Yep. Yeah,
and it's all on video and that's not AI. But

(58:09):
then there's another one where you see some people on
Savari and it.

Speaker 5 (58:12):
Looks like a legit video it does, where the lioness
drops her cub off with a bunch of people before
she goes and chases hyenas yeah.

Speaker 1 (58:18):
She jumps into the car and drops the cub off
and then hauls asked you and you think it's like
a real attack. I'm like, oh my god, I hope
nobody get Then you're like.

Speaker 4 (58:24):
Oh god, I know exactly.

Speaker 1 (58:26):
I feel like a complete ass because they make it
such a they make it so well.

Speaker 5 (58:29):
And you got to be so careful now with a
lot of those animal rescue videos apparently where people will
actually abuse or drug the animals and then claim they're
rescuing them, and then they get to monetize the clicks. Yeah,
so I now you have to do your homework before
you sit and troll on Instagram for hours and figure
out what you're doing.

Speaker 1 (58:47):
Man, I didn't realize how big of a cottage industry
that whole animal thing was. It's so horrifying.

Speaker 5 (58:53):
It's horrifying because now you go back and think of
all those videos you thought, oh, that's so sweet, and
you're finding out they're monetizing abuse using animals, but you're
you're liking it because you're thinking it's an honest and
true representation and it couldn't be further from that.

Speaker 1 (59:05):
All right, seven seven zero three one. That's how you
text stuff if you don't want to send a talk
back like our friends just did, do that, grab the
iHeartRadio app, go to real Radio and use that Mike
to send your comment over. Give us a make U
sure number one preset while you're there, please, all right?
So they I say they the government today announced that
the DOT announced that they're making a big change here

(59:27):
in America for something that was so prevalent in this market,
specifically for years. And I have to tell you, when
did you read the story all the way through? I
did not how many? How many truck driving schools that
I do know? How many truck driving schools do you
believe are in America? Eighteen? So interestingly, and one of

(59:54):
the reasons this is such a very interesting story is,
you know, for one thing, obviously, this goes back to
the rec that happened a few weeks back where that
the trucker tried to do the U turn in the
middle of the road wind up killing a family of
three or four.

Speaker 5 (01:00:07):
It was three people, and it happened this summer actually
in the Indian River County.

Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
Yeah yeah, or are you about to say You're about
to say something? Oh just that okay, yeah, yeah, So
one of the big things is one of the big
pushes is is to deal with the accreditations of these
truck driving schools because what they found was is that
a lot of these schools were turning out truckers that
were not ready to handle a semi tractor trailer. I

(01:00:32):
have to tell you it's so funny when I read
the story. A lot of the story is based on
the immigration aspect of that argument from our government. Now
I don't really take consideration to that. But what is
interesting about this about this story is is how many
truck driving schools there are in America and how many
they believe aren't training people to drive these trucks properly,

(01:00:54):
which is horrifying. When you drive through Florida on any
of the major roads ninety five, seventy five, I four
or anybody will tell you that one of the most
tense moments while you're driving at those highway speeds is
driving next to a tractor trailer. You know, it almost
doesn't even matter what size it is or what they're hauling.
It's just kind of intimidating. You know, you're a foot

(01:01:15):
away from something that weighs, you know, a couple hundred
thousand pounds going seventy five eighty miles an hour, and
there you are in your DP truck, right, you know,
and you you know, you want to make sure those
people who are driving basically a house down the road
are qualified to do so because of the damage that
can be done. Of course, that's just a small example
of what can happen.

Speaker 5 (01:01:35):
And as it turns out, in the case of the
truck driver from this summer's accident, he is an illegal
immigrant and not proficient in English.

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
Right, yeah, yeah, And this wasn't that wasn't his first
rodeo into bad driving either, was it. No, it was
not so one of the big issues. As a matter
of fact, they went for the story. This is an
NPR story by the way they went from They went
to businesses that that hired people, you know, from these
truck driving school and found that a number of them
thought that the truck driving schools were not preparing these

(01:02:05):
drivers accordingly, and that he regularly had to turn down
drivers that had the certificate because just on their test,
you know, when they just go, okay, let's do our test,
that they couldn't pass it. They couldn't do what was
required for that particular business. So how many truck driving
schools do you think there are? Jack? How did you say,
I guess twelve hundred.

Speaker 4 (01:02:26):
I saw the number.

Speaker 1 (01:02:27):
You saw the total number.

Speaker 5 (01:02:29):
No, I saw how many schools may be shut down.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
That ain't the total number.

Speaker 4 (01:02:32):
Oh really no?

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
Oh wow, that's horrifying.

Speaker 5 (01:02:35):
And then yeah, when you consider how many schools they're
talking about shutting down, So I'll go one hundred thousand.

Speaker 1 (01:02:42):
The names of those schools and trainers that they're talking about,
you know, kind of pinching and making them come to compliance.
They they're not released together. They represent more than forty
percent of the nation's sixteen thousand authorized training providers, according
to the Department of Transportation, and they accused them of

(01:03:03):
falsifying or manipulating training data, neglecting to meet required curriculum
standards and instructor qualifications, and failing to maintain or share
accurate records. Man, you're talking about something that's scary that
they're truck right, because we had one here. Is it
still here? MTA? Is it still here? I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:03:22):
So you're talking about shutting down over six thousand of
them shutting down.

Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
They have forty percent of the sixteen thousand so the
DOT announced Monday it plans to revoke the accreditation of
nearly three thousand of them and their trainers unless they
can comply with federal requirements within a month, and it
warned four thousand other schools to get theirs together, and
they were going to come looking and seeing how they
were doing.

Speaker 5 (01:03:45):
We just had a new CDL school that's just opened
up on what used to be a couple of houses
right there on forty six and Kelly Park Road. So
when you drive by, you see you know, smaller semis,
larger semis, You'll see them out there working on the engine.
And it was like, wow, that schill kind of popped
up kind of quick just in the last couple of months.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
And somebody said here on the texting service that the
CDL schools are kind of the same way that they
can be sketchy, Like if you walk in, like you
know the right language, you can just kind of pay
your money and get your CDL stamp. I don't know
how crazy that is, but man, I know this. My
dad had a lot of different certifications. He had has
MATT certification for years, and he drove a truck most
of his life. I mean, we did have the printing

(01:04:25):
company for a short period of time, but my dad
still worked for Stopping Corporation while he did that. So
my dad was on the road a lot, you know,
pulling everything from Hamburgers to every.

Speaker 5 (01:04:36):
One of my fathers and all of my uncles were
all long haul truck driver.

Speaker 1 (01:04:40):
And the reason I bring that up is this man,
if you have somebody that that's their career right, and
that's their thing, much like us with the whole protect
the license thing here, that's our number one thing. Protect
the license right. Don't do anything to jeopardize the radio
station's ability to broadcast. That's like, if you want to
know what inside mantra to this business rule number one.

Speaker 4 (01:04:59):
Yeah, rule that is like a cardinal rule, the big rule.

Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
Yeah, you're talking Commandment number one exactly protect the license.
The reason I say that is this, if I remember
my dad, my dad, I would go to these these
South one would rent out wet and wild back in
the day, and we could go and have a big
family night, and you know, you would inevitably run into
people who also did this very thing. The one thing
I remember about truckers is this man. They protected that

(01:05:25):
CDL and they protected and they were very proud of
their CDL and what they'd accomplished, and they wouldn't do
anything to jeopardize it. Dude, if my dad had to
drive on a Friday, my dad would not have a
drink on a Wednesday. And my dad loved drinking beer,
he wouldn't drink forty eight hours before he had to
drive that truck. He wanted no trace of alcohol near

(01:05:47):
his bloodstream while he was in his truck and jeopardizing
his CDL license because he protected it and considered it
so valuable to him. The what if if a truck
a truck drivers in an accident at fault, it begins
an investigation where you first that where they are licensed,

(01:06:07):
gets like investigating it, and then it's like there's a
step process if there's two infractions that are on probation,
three infractions and they're fined, you know, where they have
a long lasting commitment to the people that they license,
where they can be held liable down the road if
they are to make sure they're not just you know

(01:06:30):
CDL mills, Yeah, just handing out to Plona. And you're right,
because Masage just texting. We had a lot of text
about this already it says they don't train you to
drive properly. They just train you to memorize and pass
the DOT test.

Speaker 5 (01:06:41):
Which is frightening because when you talk about any if
you've ever seen a trucker back up an eighteen wheel
er to a loading dock, no, do you realize the
skill involved in that, Like if you've ever seen that
off of Ronald Reagan Boulevard by those train tracks where
I mean it's I mean you can barely squeeze out
a popcorn fart in that area, and you see those
eighteen wheelers maneuver that trailer back in there and not

(01:07:03):
hit a damn thing on the way in.

Speaker 4 (01:07:04):
You have to have the skill to be able to
do that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:06):
My dad had to deliver two seven eleven's in Crystal Burgers.
I mean, it was one of the things, was part
of the whole thing, was Southland he and I remember
people who worked with him used to tell me, he
is that I don't know what your old man did
on a former life, but your dad can back a
trailer a down an alley that has an inch of
clearance on either side and do it with one hand
while reading a book, right, I mean, he just he

(01:07:27):
knows it. He just knew how to do it, and
you make that skill and there is a unique pride
with that. Man. I mean, the texting are coming in crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:07:33):
I wish I could see him who said that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:35):
One guy here says, he goes, oh, man, I have
to go way all the way back, good lord of mercy,
he is. I've been a truck driving for almost a
year and people are literally not being trained correctly to
drive a semi truck. It's horrible. Eighteen wheelers way way
about ten grand. I guess that's empty with an empty trailer.

Speaker 5 (01:07:51):
And now you understand why the state is going after
the companies that hired the driver from the summer's accident, right, Yeah, yeah,
because obviously he was given a CDL when couldn't pass
the tests that were necessary.

Speaker 8 (01:08:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:08:02):
Yeah, because he received a license in California and Washington state,
I believe.

Speaker 1 (01:08:07):
And that's important because you do have to be licensed
for different things in all those places, like well, my
dad got license for hasmat. I found out that you
couldn't take a truck like that through a tunnel, right,
so you would have to take the other routes. And
when we are in California or in Colorado. There's a
thing called Loveland Pass up there. And the reason Loveland
Pass exists is because they can't take the tractor trailers
through the tunnels, so all those tractors have to go up.

(01:08:28):
They have to go up around this pass. Let me
tell you, dude, it is horrifying. You're tens of ten
thousand feet in the air, you know, driving a tractor
trailer on a two bet on a two lane road,
and you know you're you're dealing with people coming on,
you're dealing with that weather two. I mean, it's so scary.

Speaker 5 (01:08:45):
It's like passing logging trucks in Oregon. Yeah, you're way
up into the mountains and they're just hauling out on
these two lane roads and you're like, man, I hope you.

Speaker 4 (01:08:52):
Know what you're doing.

Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
You're not afraid. They do not care, but yeah, man,
it's a very interesting what's happening. So sixteen thousand of
these providers, Jack almost nailed the number. Exactly, three thousand
schools are going to be shut down unless they comply
with federal requirements within thirty days. The other four thousand
could face similar actions if they don't come into compliance.
And here's the thing. It's not just people saying it's

(01:09:14):
these business owners who are who are trying to hire
these people that they are Like, look, man, you just
came out of the school. You got a CDL still
warm from the laminator right, and you can't find reverse.
You know, you can't do the simple stuff. We need
to get our products to the next you know, to
the next stop.

Speaker 6 (01:09:29):
Think about you're driving next to one of these on
the highway. I don't know, a younger me had just assumed, oh,
they're a professional. They are, you know, they know how
to handle that, that this is what they do for
a living. You assume that they are not going to
be the problem.

Speaker 4 (01:09:46):
And yet they are.

Speaker 1 (01:09:47):
They can be.

Speaker 5 (01:09:48):
I usually try to avoid big trucks because they do
scare me when I'm driving next to him, because you
just never know if there's going to be a tire blowout.

Speaker 4 (01:09:54):
Just and dumb truck drivers.

Speaker 5 (01:09:56):
I don't know if this has been your guys' experience,
but to me, they're just the most In some cases,
they just drive too fast and they're way too reckless
for what they're hauling.

Speaker 1 (01:10:04):
Well that you don't want to be behind because of
your windshiel. Absolutely, and they're supposed to that tarp thing
that comes up over the load, but that didn't happen
all the time.

Speaker 6 (01:10:12):
But what you gotta be real careful not to sit
in their blind spot. Absolutely, And also when you go
to pass, you have to make sure you give them
more room because it's a lot harder for them to
slow down and break. Then you know, you can't just
dart in front of them.

Speaker 1 (01:10:29):
All regulate.

Speaker 5 (01:10:30):
They say, you're supposed to be able to see the
entire grill, the front grill of the truck all the way.

Speaker 4 (01:10:36):
Before you move over.

Speaker 5 (01:10:37):
Into their lane, because in that way you can assure
that they can see you.

Speaker 1 (01:10:40):
Can you imagine what those people see on the.

Speaker 5 (01:10:42):
Road, Oh yeah, an entire show. No, because we talked
about protecting the license, we should.

Speaker 6 (01:10:51):
Ask those questions instead what you haul and we'll call
it what's your peep in.

Speaker 1 (01:10:57):
Look?

Speaker 5 (01:10:57):
Man?

Speaker 1 (01:10:58):
I'm telling you what I it has to be. I
bet there's a relatively large percentage of accidents and tractor
trailers because somebody is peeping. Somebody is looking at the
car down below them, and next thing you know, oops,
now in the back of his other car. All right,
four oh seven nine six one four one. You can
always text us at seven seven zero three one. We're

(01:11:20):
cities to date in in all of America. I wonder
what's number one.

Speaker 21 (01:11:24):
I'll tell you what that is next, Jimmy, I drive
a truck every day for work, and I'm on the
highway and I see it firsthand. And trucks are taught
to stand in the right lane, and then you go
on down the middle lane only to pass it.

Speaker 11 (01:11:44):
But you stay in the right lane.

Speaker 8 (01:11:46):
The problem is people want to coast you. Then you
see Grandpa Earl and you see Grandma Myrtle in the
middle lane, and they want to go sixty miles per hour.
People are passing on the left and right and they
saw traffic and that's the issue. All of a sudden
truss up to slow down. We have to speed up
on the left side to skip past him.

Speaker 7 (01:12:07):
What is Jim Colbert crew? What up? Guys?

Speaker 1 (01:12:10):
Is how you guys doing as you guys? I am

Speaker 4 (01:13:36):
He's land man.

Speaker 1 (01:13:38):
Yeah, you got a story from Yeah, you get a
story from the road.

Speaker 18 (01:13:43):
Oh yeah, I mean all the time. People get out
of my way. Also, I don't have antilock breaks, so
I also get out of the way of anything if
I don't really drive his car and rain because I'm
more worried about somebody else sliding into me because I
don't have any lock breaks.

Speaker 1 (01:13:58):
Unreal, dude. But when you're having a car that's thirty
five feet long with bullhorns on it, get hearing from you, Pat,
you're the best, buddy, all right for our seven nine
one more here, Carlos, what's going on, bubb Hey?

Speaker 15 (01:14:11):
I I'm the message therapist X cop that used to
call that called it a couple.

Speaker 1 (01:14:16):
Of times cool.

Speaker 15 (01:14:18):
When I was a cop, I would always if I
had to stop the truck, track, the trailer truck or whatever,
I would always call in FDOT to take over the ticket,
mainly because they would pour over that truck and get
every violation mud flaps out of spot. Don't have the
skirt over the top. They would pour over and write

(01:14:40):
those guys, hammer them with with a ticket if they
weren't incompliant.

Speaker 1 (01:14:45):
So or you were you a city cop or a
sheriff or a state trooper.

Speaker 15 (01:14:49):
Actually, I worked out of UCF and we had the
periphery like University Ali.

Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and with all that.

Speaker 15 (01:14:56):
Construction, we had all those trucks coming and going all
the time.

Speaker 1 (01:14:59):
Damn, Hi, I'm not over.

Speaker 15 (01:15:01):
I would turn it over to FDOT and let them
hammer it.

Speaker 1 (01:15:04):
Man. I bet they hated your guts for that.

Speaker 15 (01:15:07):
Oh yeah, well, FOT loved it. And those guys are
really great. I give a lot of credits to FOT guys.
They're out there really risking themselves out.

Speaker 7 (01:15:13):
On those citations.

Speaker 1 (01:15:14):
Yeah, but go ahead.

Speaker 15 (01:15:16):
Deb has the sexiest voice in all of radio.

Speaker 1 (01:15:19):
I'm glad I held on for that. Thanks Buddy, I
appreciate that. Thanks Carlos, we know that. I appreciate that. Jim. Yeah,
I got one more thing to tell you. She's got
to know this. She's never heard it before. Deb has
the sexiest boys out there.

Speaker 4 (01:15:33):
He shut up.

Speaker 1 (01:15:34):
This is about debb. If you were to choose a
state in America and I'll give confusion, I'll give you
the parameters here and you can tell me what you
think is the is the state that's hardest to date
in single population average date cost bars per hundred thousand people,
restaurants per hundred thousand people, dating app spending per capita,

(01:15:57):
or dating searches for one hundred thousand people. Those are
the parameters in which they made this list. What state
do you believe was the worst in all of those
categories to get a date in Alaska? Ah, let me
just say, if they're in the top.

Speaker 4 (01:16:12):
Ten, I'm gonna go Wisconsin.

Speaker 1 (01:16:14):
Alaska is not in the top ten. Wisconsin is not
in the top ten. I'll give you an example. Jersey
is number ten. Really, yeah, Jersey is number ten. Florida
does not appear on this list. And when you think
about this state, think about it a little bit. Think
about it.

Speaker 4 (01:16:30):
What state would be the worst to date in California?

Speaker 1 (01:16:33):
No, think, I mean the list I got. Utah is
the worst? Oh, Okay? Utah? Utah? Yeah, Utah. It's not
a big. Single scene in Utah is Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:16:47):
I don't know. If you watch those Real White Housewives, it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:50):
Says the single population in Utah is forty four point
seven percent. The average date cost is one hundred and
twenty one dollars. There's only four bars per one hundred
thousand people in Utah, Ah. There are one hundred and
one restaurants per one hundred thousand people. Dating apps spending
per capita thirty three cents in Utah and then dating

(01:17:13):
searches per capita per one hundred thousand people twenty one
hundred and thirty eight And that was a total score
of ninety eight point eight nine, almost one hundred percent.
Not good. The other ones Washington, that's Washington State.

Speaker 4 (01:17:26):
Okay, Maine, they have one hundred thousand people in.

Speaker 1 (01:17:30):
It, Okay, Idaho, Alabama, Tenney, call me a home. Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, Hawaii, Virginia, Jersey.
And when I first started reading this, I'm like, oh, yeah,
they're all cold states, Washington, Maine, Idahowaii. Yeah. And then
you get in Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, and I wonder why
those particular states. I mean, you would think Tennessee would

(01:17:50):
be a place. I mean, it's got some fun cities
in Tennessee, Hawaii the same thing.

Speaker 6 (01:17:56):
Can you go through that list of criteria again so
we can break this down. Yeah, single population, Now we
don't have time, but single population average day costs bars
per one hundred thousand, restaurants per one hundred thousand, dating
app spending per capita, and dating searches per one hundred
thousand people.

Speaker 1 (01:18:10):
So Hawaii more tourists. Well, also but it's contained, I
would think, because.

Speaker 5 (01:18:16):
That's what I'm thinking. Your landlaw are your island locked?

Speaker 1 (01:18:18):
Yeah, you're only You're only you know. I mean to
go and find any other people. You got to spend
a big bunch of money and fly over a receipt,
A big a bunch of money, big a bunch of money. Hey, hey,
all right for seven nine six four one. Again, you
can always text us at seven seven zero three one.
There's a bit of a mystery in Orleando. We'll try
to figure it out next Jack.

Speaker 22 (01:18:46):
Property taxes shouldn't be paid by people over sixty five
and those that have paid off their houses. The deficit
money could be made up by raising the sales tax,
which would capture revenue from everybody in the state of
Florida that purchased things, including criminals and tourists.

Speaker 1 (01:19:06):
I hope everybody else out there on Orlando will join
me as well in leaving a talkback and wishing a
congratulations to Jack for finally going poop in the party.

Speaker 23 (01:19:18):
Yay, congratulation, job.

Speaker 1 (01:19:20):
Jack day, Good job Jack. All right, welcome back to
the Jim Culbert Show. We're already at one oh four
point one. I hope you had a good day at
work on this Tuesday, first Tuesday in December. Yeah, I'm Jim.
There's deb Jack is here as well. Saw something on

(01:19:40):
Facebook today as I was tooling around this morning, and
uh and uh, it brought back, it brought back a
great memory. And I think both of you probably have
this memory. Floridians as a rule do not. And uh.
It was a story about preparing for snow days for
kids as they get out of school. And I have

(01:20:02):
to tell you I only lived in an area where
it snowed for a short period of time. I lived
in a small town in West Virginia for about eighteen
months when my dad ran a coal mine up there.
That's where my parents were divorced. So we lived up there,
and then you know, moved back down to Florida, but
got to experience a real winter, you know. And uh,
West Virginia gets cold. It snows, you know, in the
nine yards and man, I'll never ever ever forget. You know.

(01:20:24):
We had one of those big console stereos, the thing
that's you know it, you know, it has the big
you know what I mean, the console stereo. It's it's
all built in the wood.

Speaker 5 (01:20:32):
It's got to and you and your sister would just
be waiting there with baited breath, waiting to hear the
announcements of the schools that were.

Speaker 1 (01:20:38):
Closed for the day. We would, legit, sit right in
front of it. We all we would turn the station
on and we would wait for the DJ to read
the school that wasn't going to have to go that day.
And man, when that when the first syllable came out, man,
we are losing our mind. And here's the thing. We
knew we had to make it up, like you know,

(01:20:58):
you know, you have to go one more day in
the summer. But we did not care, not at all all. No,
because in the summer did not have sledding, and we
lived at the bottom of a hill. So for us
to describe our sleds and you know, cruise at the
top of the hill and then uh and then calling
down it was the greatest.

Speaker 5 (01:21:13):
Plus, you knew it was a big deal because when
you're from a northern state, you know, they're like, you
can handle a little bit of snow. It really had
to have piled up for them to say, all right,
you get the day.

Speaker 1 (01:21:23):
All yeah, this was those two converging storms, those big
storms up north it's pretty nasty up there.

Speaker 6 (01:21:28):
There were three ways I remember as being notified if
there we had a snow day. One would be the
radio when they'd make the announcement. Two would be on
like that the news channel looked like they did a
crawl I think on the loco on cable if you
had cable, they did a crawl Troy.

Speaker 1 (01:21:46):
Yeah, I know, right late seventies and this has been
this one in seventy seven. There would have been no
crawl in my world.

Speaker 6 (01:21:52):
And then the last one was the the firehouse whistle,
the one they used to always do it like five
o'clock every night in the summer. Yeah, if they fired
that at seven am, you knew school was out.

Speaker 1 (01:22:05):
Yeah. And the funny thing is I lived in it. It
was a small town called Oak Hill, West Virginia. So
I mean it only had one actually, to be honest
with you, the high school, the middle school and the
high school in the middle school were in one building.

Speaker 4 (01:22:17):
That's a small town.

Speaker 1 (01:22:18):
Yeah, and then the and then the elementary school was separate,
but it was on the same property, but it wasn't
you know, didn't have the kids in there. And so
we had the only school in the city so and
we didn't have to worry about Beckley shutting down or
anything like that because that didn't really bother us. As
long as Collins High School or Collins Middle School was down, we.

Speaker 4 (01:22:36):
Were good to go.

Speaker 1 (01:22:38):
God. And the thing is in Florida, when you get
days like that because the hurricanes, it doesn't have the
same vibe.

Speaker 5 (01:22:42):
Because because you're outside working and cleaning up storm debris.

Speaker 1 (01:22:45):
You're trying to save your own life exactly. It's not
like it's not because the buses may slide off the road. No,
nothing to do with that.

Speaker 4 (01:22:51):
Get out there and pick up that debris.

Speaker 1 (01:22:53):
Jimmy all right, seven seven zero us ice seven seven
zero three one. That's how you can text us if
you'd like to make a comment on the show at
any time. So the mystery I have here is this.
I don't know if you guys know about this. I
saw this on Channel nine today. The United States Secret
Service announced that we'll hold a news conference Tuesday, So
I didn't see this news conference today, and the agency

(01:23:16):
said the local law enforcement will be on hand to
share details about a quote consumer related operation conducted in
the Orlando area. So does that mean that there's like
a big scam going on? Is this the Secret Service
or maybe there's a counterfeiting.

Speaker 4 (01:23:34):
Ring, could be a retail theft as well.

Speaker 11 (01:23:38):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:23:38):
The Secret Service handles the counterfeiting thing, and so I
wonder if it is a big counterfeiting ring here in town.
I go trying to figure out what it was. It
doesn't get I mean, the press conference is gonna at
one o'clock. I don't see any update on what they
said it was, but yeah, and it doesn't give any
other information. It just says they'll bring in details that
goes on. But I mean, it sounds like a big

(01:23:59):
counterfeiting ring.

Speaker 4 (01:24:00):
Right, I'm not really sure.

Speaker 1 (01:24:03):
It's kind of hard to tell. It doesn't and it
doesn't give an update on what they said it was
or you know, what they're doing with it or anything.
I just found that kind of bizarre.

Speaker 4 (01:24:12):
Well, if they did that, there'd be no point in
the press conference.

Speaker 1 (01:24:14):
Yeah, I know, that's wild. Why would they come in
and make a pres and have a press conference about
something that they're investigating.

Speaker 5 (01:24:19):
Why wou't they just come in town and do it
and then not tell us or do the press conference? Yeah,
because I haven't seen any alert that saying nothing talking
about a presser. I mean none of the local news
stations have been teasing about it.

Speaker 1 (01:24:30):
And the funny thing is, I mean you obviously are
searching news all during the show because of the last segment.
You know that you already hear first segment.

Speaker 5 (01:24:36):
So right exactly, And speaking of that, I did want
to let folks know that the lockdown at Satellite High School,
DeLaura Middle School, and Holland Elementary's coming from my memory, Yeah,
has been lifted. Everything's good, Yeah, everything is good, all right,
very good, all right?

Speaker 1 (01:24:50):
Four seven nine one six one four one. Text us
seven seven zero three one.

Speaker 5 (01:24:54):
What someone just texted us at seven seven zero three one.

Speaker 4 (01:24:56):
Feels so good to see them again. Escorts scamming? What's that?

Speaker 1 (01:25:01):
Yah?

Speaker 5 (01:25:01):
Huh okay, So I heard, oh no, no, we have
a resident expert ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 1 (01:25:07):
So is it because I also heard that there's a
big there's a money mule thing going on through like
uh through Uber Yeah. Yeah, yeah, really that they're being
used as money mules without even knowing it or something.

Speaker 5 (01:25:20):
Oh yeah, I wonder if that's part of it. Well, also,
I mean the gambling thing. I mean, they did bust
them here in Orlando. Yeah, yeah, I don't know if
that's a further, you know, further step in that investigation.

Speaker 1 (01:25:32):
That'd be the Secret Service. I think it probably would
be what.

Speaker 5 (01:25:35):
I believe it was, that was a federal takedown.

Speaker 6 (01:25:37):
Carlos x Cop texts in he says Secret Service also
deals with skimming.

Speaker 1 (01:25:42):
Oh, shopping season coming up. Maybe they're training people in
the area, or maybe they're training cops or training uh
uh agencies on how to spot more scams going into
the Christmas season. Who knows. They wouldn't have a press
conference for that. No, they, I don't think they.

Speaker 4 (01:26:00):
I would think it have to be something.

Speaker 1 (01:26:03):
Yeah, what were you about to say?

Speaker 5 (01:26:06):
Someone just texted and said cracking down on public's prices.

Speaker 1 (01:26:12):
It's gonna take more than sacred service. That's for damn sure.
All right, seven to seven zero three one. So the
other thing, too, is if you're traveling now, this is
not going to affect you this year. It will affect
you next year, starting on February first. Did you see
that the real I D thing?

Speaker 18 (01:26:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:26:26):
I actually did this INMOK news, but I did it
weeks and weeks and weeks ago.

Speaker 6 (01:26:30):
Yeah, you had real IDs for so long It's amazing
that I thought that.

Speaker 1 (01:26:35):
Had the Speke's News at all. I'm with you the
same way I have. I real I D for probably
two three years now.

Speaker 4 (01:26:39):
But that's Florida.

Speaker 5 (01:26:40):
If you remember when the real ID compliancy I think
was set for May first, you had a lot of
states like Kentucky and Tennessee that really hadn't kind of
pushed their citizens to get their real IDs, and DMVs
had our long lines of people trying to figure out,
you know, where the heck it was coming from.

Speaker 1 (01:26:58):
Right, yeah? Yeah, TEXI services cartel running the escort services,
scamming money, drug dealer's being been calling uber and just
sending the backpack. In other words, so I guess if
you're sending back if you're sending money to a dealer
or something like that, you just call an uber. You
throw the backpack in there and say take this to
this address.

Speaker 5 (01:27:15):
Would you do that? If you throw a backpacky? But
then do you want to do you want to be
the uber who says no? I think you think of
that sticky situation.

Speaker 1 (01:27:23):
Right, I think you just deliver it and then just
remember that number never took a call from it.

Speaker 4 (01:27:26):
Again, or just quit your job as uber.

Speaker 5 (01:27:28):
Yeah, last thing I ever want to be put on
as the cartel's notice.

Speaker 1 (01:27:32):
Did you imagine that? Yeah, you get this backpack and
you drive it up to this house and this house
is not cool. I thought.

Speaker 6 (01:27:38):
I thought they came up with a policy that if
it's not they won't deliver packages. If it's not a person,
they won't take it. Because Code Black a year ago,
you know, used tuber to deliver something. He was trying
to deliver stuff for the show. And he's like, I'll
just I'll put it in an Uber and send it
to you, and he said they wouldn't take it.

Speaker 1 (01:27:58):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And by the way, those courier services,
have you ever used one? My god man? You know
when I was in the printing business, I tried to
use a courier service to take some artwork to a client.
And it was from let's say the Lockhart area, which
is nor four forty one le Road, that area there
down to San Lake Road. How much do you think
that was going to be just to drive drive two

(01:28:20):
or three pieces of paper down to sand Lake Road?
Forty bucks I'll go seventy five, one hundred dollars And
that was probably twenty years ago. I just that courier
service thing is crazy, and that's wild because the Uber
thing would certainly make up for that. But I mean
you can see the trouble in that.

Speaker 5 (01:28:35):
Well, yeah, I mean I could imagine Uber doesn't want
to be liable for your package that may or may
not make it to its final destination.

Speaker 4 (01:28:43):
And then you know, lady.

Speaker 1 (01:28:45):
Says here says, don't say my name. I deliver for Uber,
and under the Uber Eats app there is a package
delivery option. I opt out of that for this very reason.

Speaker 4 (01:28:54):
Oh that's right, that's true.

Speaker 1 (01:28:55):
So in other words, I guess you have the option
of delivering a package as an Uber driver if you
want to. But man, I would think that would be
super sketchy. I would not want to do that in
any way, shape or form.

Speaker 4 (01:29:07):
Like to believe in people until people be people.

Speaker 1 (01:29:10):
Yeah. The real ID thing is this. After February first,
if you go to travel, TSA says, if you do
not have a real ID, they're going to charge you
forty five dollars. Flyers without a real ID, a passport,
or other acceptable form of ID will need to have
their identities confirmed through a fee based verification system called
TSA confirm ID. So basically, if you don't have any

(01:29:34):
form of ID and you show up, you're not out
of luck. Now, this is actually kind of a good deal.

Speaker 5 (01:29:38):
Yeah, if you have a passport, you'll have to pay
forty five dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:29:41):
Yeah, I mean if you don't have a bim How
many times have people gone to the airport and forgotten
their ID or passport and they just simply could not
get on the plane? I can I tell you, I
didn't know that that was even capable, Like, I didn't
know that you if you showed up to the air
That's like one of my biggest things when I leave
the house. I am when I we're flying, because we
live an hour from the airport. You can't just you know,
turn around and go back and get it, you know.

(01:30:01):
And I am completely and utterly neurotic about my ID
or my passport when I go to the airport. I
asked my wife four.

Speaker 4 (01:30:09):
Or five times, Oh, that has to be fun.

Speaker 1 (01:30:11):
Oh, it's a it's a it's a hoot. That's a
hoot for everybody involved. It's great.

Speaker 4 (01:30:15):
Half.

Speaker 5 (01:30:16):
I'm gonna give you some extra credit on that boot
and a half.

Speaker 1 (01:30:18):
But now for forty five bucks, I can forget money.
That's awesome for only forty five dollars only. That's cheap.
You know, it's not cheap haul your ass out of
there and have to reschedule a flight.

Speaker 4 (01:30:28):
Yeah, no, I know, I know, I just yea.

Speaker 5 (01:30:31):
But like Jack said, it's it's great that we've already
had our real IDs for a couple of years because
this is not a worry for us.

Speaker 1 (01:30:38):
Yeah. And you could run an entire organization out of
this Uber eats thing though. So we just texted in
and said, imagine having like a little restaurant place, and
that's what you that's a front and every time you
send the package out as an Uber eats package, you
put your little package inside the food package, like a
box of chicken with a bunch of fentanyl in there
or something.

Speaker 5 (01:30:56):
Oh god, Yeah, No, they don't make that much money.

Speaker 1 (01:31:02):
Yeah, they really don't. It's amazing. How much do you
think they make a week driving Uber?

Speaker 16 (01:31:08):
Well?

Speaker 4 (01:31:08):
I think it depends on where you drive.

Speaker 5 (01:31:10):
I know for a lot of Uber drivers, they'll come
from all over the state. Yeah, just to drive in
Orlando because of the amount of tourist traffic that we get.
My best friend had a driver from Jensen Beach. Damn really,
Uber driving here? A drive here and then pick up
the app here and then pick up rides here. Yeah,
because there's a lot more rides and take ups here
than there may be in Jensen Beach and you can

(01:31:31):
get flex pricing and all that other stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:31:33):
Do they rely do you think they rely on tips
pretty heavily? It's obviously. I mean, well, can you make
a living on the trip fee?

Speaker 4 (01:31:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:31:41):
But if you don't tip it as a passenger, good
luck getting your next Uber?

Speaker 4 (01:31:45):
Oh really, yeah, your rating is going to be crap.

Speaker 1 (01:31:51):
Tipping affects your rating. Hello, who do you think rates you.

Speaker 5 (01:31:55):
The driver that's picking you up? If you're the driver,
but they rate you, Yeah, and your rating matters how
quickly you're going to get picked up.

Speaker 1 (01:32:04):
But what if I'm a What if I'm just a
great passenger that doesn't do anything. I pay on time,
I'm clean, I don't do any I don't ask any questions,
I don't ask for music. I don't care about your
bottle of water or your packs of peanuts that you
put in the backseat. I just would like my ride,
no tip, no tip, and they get a bad rating.
Just because I didn't tip. It's a warning.

Speaker 5 (01:32:23):
Now the uber driver exactly going to want your cheap ass. Yeah, exactly,
because they don't want to talk to you either. Yeah,
that's fine, but the feet doesn't go to them.

Speaker 1 (01:32:31):
Well, some of it does, some of it.

Speaker 5 (01:32:33):
But you're you saying no tip. I mean, just just
test it out, Jimmy, get.

Speaker 1 (01:32:39):
You guys have it. I do tip my driver. I
don't want that out there, but you guys have to
agree that's that's horse ass.

Speaker 4 (01:32:45):
No, yeah it is.

Speaker 1 (01:32:46):
I mean that is because because if you don't go
you at a restaurant and let's say you get service,
you tip ten percent because that's what you tip. Down
the words out on you because you didn't dip twenty
and now you're not gonna get good service because you
didn't dip twenty percent. Hey, get out of here. That's ridiculous.
That's utterly ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (01:33:02):
Hate the game, not the player.

Speaker 1 (01:33:05):
I don't even know what you're talking about.

Speaker 4 (01:33:07):
Obviously, you don't tip.

Speaker 1 (01:33:08):
No, I do tip. I just told you that. But
I shouldn't. But it shouldn't be you should not hold
that against somebody.

Speaker 6 (01:33:14):
What if you can't if you had a crew two
guys delivered two appliances to your house.

Speaker 1 (01:33:20):
What would you tip them?

Speaker 6 (01:33:26):
If you had an electric range and a dishwasher delivered
to your home, what would you tip them?

Speaker 4 (01:33:32):
Just as an example, how many people is it? He
just said two, two ten each, or it would.

Speaker 1 (01:33:42):
Probably be it probably, I don't know, probably twenty bucks
something like that for two guys. They were there four minutes.
Oh are you? Is this guy for real? Are you
for real? You were just getting in my ass on
uber and now you're tipping a guy who's pulling a
stove into your house ten dollars? Should I tip them
at all? Oh my god? Almighty four oh seven. We'll

(01:34:04):
be back in a second.

Speaker 2 (01:34:06):
Still the common sense financial advice you need. It's only
money with Scott Brown today at six twenty on The
Jim Colbert Show.

Speaker 12 (01:34:18):
Hey, Jimmy, I got here.

Speaker 24 (01:34:21):
I just wanted to reach out and give a public
service announcement with scamming going on that Chad's didn't do
it in the secret service, Chad's didn't do it, and
whatever that else is going on with these credit cards,
Chad's didn't do it. Just getting ahead of this before
you start saying Chad's.

Speaker 1 (01:34:40):
Did it thanks Bunny, appreciate it. Great show, carry on now,
thank you. Thanks, and people are fired up about this
uber thing. Real quick texting service is getting a little steamy. Yeah,
I noticed seven seven zero three one. Welcome back to
the Jim Colbert Show here on Real Radio. I'm Jim,
there's dep Hello. Jackson is here as well. I am.

(01:35:05):
We had a SpaceX launch.

Speaker 6 (01:35:06):
Yeah, we had a rocket separation and we have a
booster heading backboards.

Speaker 1 (01:35:12):
How about that?

Speaker 4 (01:35:13):
That is so cool.

Speaker 1 (01:35:14):
Yeah, it happened so fast. I actually tried to run
over and see anything of the trail and it's all nothing.
It happened all during our break.

Speaker 6 (01:35:20):
It's like they went live at about eleven after I
think they launched at eighteen and now it's or four
and a half minutes into the mission.

Speaker 1 (01:35:28):
I think it's out of sight in a hurry though. Yeah,
it goes from being a streak to a dot no
time at all. It's went seven hundred and something miles
an hour. Now it's going ten thousand miles an hour.
Crazy people are saying, if you don't want to tip,
don't go out. Is that where we are?

Speaker 5 (01:35:49):
Well? As a former waitress, I mean, there's nothing worse
than giving your your all, your best to a table
and then you get a little card that.

Speaker 4 (01:35:56):
Says Jesus loves you, which is great.

Speaker 5 (01:35:58):
I know he does, but he does don't want to
pay my bills either, right, and I need your help.

Speaker 6 (01:36:02):
And it's more expensive to go out and then which
you know makes then the tip on top of that,
you know, higher bill.

Speaker 1 (01:36:09):
It's a considerable thing.

Speaker 6 (01:36:11):
You just said earlier, you were talking about the worst
places the date you said, what like an average date
night is one hundred and twenty one dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:36:19):
That that's a.

Speaker 6 (01:36:20):
Considerable piece of money. That's a big salary for many
people or more.

Speaker 4 (01:36:25):
Then you know, they get chunk out of their budget.

Speaker 6 (01:36:27):
Yeah, so it's you know, if you can't afford the
full fare, find all alternative things to do, then.

Speaker 1 (01:36:35):
Why don't we tip like fast food? Why don't we
tip fast food? I mean, you know, we're I mean
the tipping culture is a very interesting conversation. We've talked
about it one hundred billion times. But you know, there
is a unique kind of stopping point for that, Like
you know, because now every everybody asks for a tip. Now,
because we've talked about the thame where they shove the
payment thing in your face, spin it around. Oh, there's

(01:36:57):
a question for it. There's a question for you. That
question is I'm gonna make you stare me in the
face and hit the no button and then go forward.
And I will tell you I've experienced this at Starbucks.
I'll tell you straight up, that's exactly where it was.
If you hit that no button, they will look at
you differently. They look at you differently. They don't react
to me. They're all perfectly fine. And then you hit
no and they are like, Okay, here's your coffee, or's

(01:37:19):
your thing? Get out of here. Oh, I don't know.
I've never hit the no button before, but no, usually
I don't either. But I usually I tip the one
dollar I have hit no before when I got When
you get bad service, I don't tip. And I got
bad service this morning, so I didn't tip, and oh man,
I got the dirty eye. Usually it's a dollar, like
a dollar for making coffee, for bringing coffee to a
window out of an urn that's already pre brewed. It's
a dollar. Like if you get me a beer from

(01:37:41):
the bar, it's a dollar. I don't do that. The
percentage thing is weird, right, Yeah, I'm not gonna be
cause cocktails now are eighteen bucks for a good cocktail.
I'm not tipping you three dollars on an eighteen.

Speaker 4 (01:37:52):
Dollar cocktail my first time there.

Speaker 5 (01:37:53):
I will so that when you remember me the next
time I come in, I'm gonna get faster service than
the other people around you. And while I may not
tip to the same amount this time, you do know
that I'm a generous tipper.

Speaker 1 (01:38:03):
But I mean, is that any better? Like if you
get a drink and you tip somebody five bucks, and
then every time after that you tip them a dollar?
Is that any better?

Speaker 6 (01:38:09):
So you have one hundred dollars meal and you get
a seventy five dollars bottle of wine? Are you tipping
that twenty percent on the one hundred and seventy five
dollar bill. It's like, you know, you could have got
a three dollars bottle of wine. You know the effort
is the same. Well, it grossly affects your tip, and.

Speaker 1 (01:38:27):
You could you could also kind of you mark that
up to like a nice steak restaurant. I mean, your
bill's gonna be you know, you and a date, your
bill's gonna be a couple hundred bucks because you're spending
fifty or sixty years seventy dollars just on a piece
of steak then then bringing your baked potato, and that's
all they're doing. I mean, they're just dropping a steak
in a baked potato. And I'm not I'm not trying
to discount it. But it's not the same as other
meals that are being prepared. It's just that everything's super expensive.

(01:38:51):
Is it worth it? Is it worth tipping somebody forty
dollars for dropping two stakes at your at your at
your table.

Speaker 5 (01:38:56):
Well, it depends on what they make, because a lot
of times restaurants don't don't pay full time, you know,
because of the tipping culture. And that's always been the
way it is in the restaurant business.

Speaker 6 (01:39:08):
It's usually well, I don't think it's half. It used
to be half of minimum wage, is what service would
be paid.

Speaker 1 (01:39:14):
Yeah, I don't think it's quite the same. Also for me,
I don't know about you guys. Do you tip Mom
and Pops more than you tip corporations? That I do
for sure? Yeah, And I'll tell you why we went
to our fav that that sandwich shop down a mount
door that I absolutely love called the Butcher's Nook, and
if you haven't been there, I strongly suggest a visit.
It is absolutely wonderful. But they do not give those
sandwiches away.

Speaker 4 (01:39:35):
Oh no, they do not.

Speaker 1 (01:39:36):
They do not. I mean your sandwiches expand mics. My
wife and I went this past Saturday, had an unbelievable time,
two bags of chips, two drinks, to sandwiches in that
fifty dollars range.

Speaker 4 (01:39:46):
Yeah, I mean, but there are sandwiches.

Speaker 1 (01:39:48):
Forty dollars range. But the sandwich is eighteen bucks, right,
But I couldn't finish it. I eat half of it
and then I eat another half later down the road.
But it is an unbelievably good sandwich, and it's a
small business. I tipped great with those. Yeah, I'm a
twenty five percenter on that because I want them to
do well because they're good people and they got a
great chop. Now I'm not tipping Starbucks the same. I'm

(01:40:08):
not tipping corporations the same like that.

Speaker 5 (01:40:10):
Well, again, Starbucks is different because they're you know, you're
not going in and getting table service, You're not getting
an artisan sandwich, You're you're not getting an experience. I mean,
but You've also admitted that when you don't tip even
a dollar, it does change your experience as a customer.

Speaker 1 (01:40:27):
It does. There's there's no question it does. I mean,
and I'm not you know, I'm not trying to be
a contrarian here, but you know that experience at Starbucks,
which was you know, fleeting, but still definitely no question
you could pick up that the person was very disappointed
they did not get their dollar tip, and their attitude
changed dramatically from the moment I pulled up from the
moment I left. You know, it was it was, you know,

(01:40:48):
a different experience altogether. Yeah, but I mean, we do
not tip fast food. I mean you don't. You don't.
You don't pick up your fast food from the drive
through and say, hey, you know, make sure everybody shares this.

Speaker 5 (01:40:58):
Someone else just texted us at seven seven zero three
one letting us know that. You know, a lot of
times the waitresses, you know, everybody has to pull their
tips and then they have to share it in the bartender,
the bussers, the dishwashers. So what you're making sometimes in
a night, you're not taking home.

Speaker 1 (01:41:15):
We don't tip bag boys or cash. You know, people
who run Redshers and you take your Thanksgiving meal up
to the red Sure. You know it takes up the
entire belt. You know they all that work to do that,
all that work to load those groceries into bags. Nobody
tips those people. That's not a common thing. That's not
part of the tip culture. And they work hard as
anybody that's that's uh, you know.

Speaker 6 (01:41:34):
Trash man recycling guy. Ye man, this time of year,
do you leave in an envelope?

Speaker 1 (01:41:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:41:40):
I try and catch them in person because I don't
want to leave an envelope on the trash can.

Speaker 1 (01:41:46):
I mean the letter carrier you can do, Yeah, that's
what you do.

Speaker 7 (01:41:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:41:49):
But the thing is with the letter carrier, I don't
even know who my regular letter carrier is.

Speaker 1 (01:41:54):
You know, it's you get you get a mix. I
got a new and they just they just introduced themselves
to me the other day. My old one, Jay, he retired,
great dude by the way, he retired, and a new
guy that looks almost exactly like him, like a burly dude.
He's now my guy, and we just met the other day.
They drive so it's a car that.

Speaker 6 (01:42:11):
Comes in the mailbox in the street, then zooms down
the block, but you know it's it's always a different person.

Speaker 1 (01:42:17):
Yeah, yeah, well I don't have that. I mean we
because we have a local route, so I see the
same person every day.

Speaker 6 (01:42:21):
When you tip, it's like, well, if you're taking off
in December, you know it would behoove you not to
take days off in December because that's more likely when
you're going to get a Christmas tank.

Speaker 1 (01:42:32):
And why is it that people want to tip the
trash guy's alcohol?

Speaker 5 (01:42:36):
Well, and do you tip the trash guys now when
they have the automatic arms, it's just one trash guy
driving the truck and it's the arms that are doing.

Speaker 1 (01:42:45):
You could make the level of work argument across the
number of these platforms. What you have to say is
the service? Could they do they beat your trash cans up?
Do they leave them in a good position? Like do
they just throw them on the ground.

Speaker 6 (01:42:56):
When you put out that thing that you're not sure
if it should be at the herb or not, and
they grab it and they take it, that's when you
have to Yeah, and.

Speaker 1 (01:43:04):
You're not getting that in Lake County. Lake County, I
don't know what other counties are like out there. And
bravard you guys who are listening or whatever. I don't
know how your trash guys are. But in Lake County,
if it's.

Speaker 4 (01:43:11):
Not in that can, they ain't taking it.

Speaker 1 (01:43:13):
They will not pick it up. They do not care.

Speaker 6 (01:43:16):
You know, my guy's gonna take uh an old stove
and an old dishwasher.

Speaker 1 (01:43:22):
You had that up by the curb.

Speaker 4 (01:43:23):
Yeah, you do have to make a special phone call
for the Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:43:26):
You do usually.

Speaker 6 (01:43:27):
Yeah, and they come with that the giant claw. They
come and they grab it and they drop it.

Speaker 5 (01:43:32):
What if you gave them a great big tip jack
and they let you operate the claw, that would be great.

Speaker 1 (01:43:40):
Yeah, let's go. I can bring my track, or we
can just pick it up and driving around neighborhood for
a few minutes. I'll put the forks on.

Speaker 6 (01:43:44):
It, I'll put it to the curb and then I'll
wait because usually I'll do it a Saturday morning and
I'm like, I pick a time and play the over
undergame on when it'll be picked up for scrap poly market.

Speaker 1 (01:43:56):
Yeah, bet on it.

Speaker 5 (01:43:59):
If you can go to polymarket, you can afford to take.

Speaker 4 (01:44:01):
Your ruber driver.

Speaker 1 (01:44:02):
I put out, I was so I was annoyed at
this one. I threw away.

Speaker 6 (01:44:07):
It was this futon that it was actually a nice bed,
but it was just all stinged.

Speaker 1 (01:44:10):
I want to get rid of it.

Speaker 6 (01:44:12):
But it was a couch futon that you lift up
and bend down. There was flat right, yeah, yeah, had
a metal frame, you know. So got it to the curb,
put it out there, and like I asked my daughter,
I go, hey, once she got home, I go, was
that couch still out there? She goes, I didn't see
a couch. She went out and looked and it's like, well,

(01:44:32):
only part of it, Sarah. I'm like, what do you
mean part of it? I went out, son of a bitch.
They took the frame of the cushion, took the frame
and left the cushion like. Unfortunately the trash guys sick
that so they get a fit this year.

Speaker 4 (01:44:44):
Yeah yeah, what.

Speaker 1 (01:44:46):
Do you tip them? Like ten bucks? Twenty bucks? What
do you I mean, what do you do? Ten yea
and the.

Speaker 6 (01:44:50):
Guy because I got that, then I got the recycling guy.
That's three guys. You had the mail guy, carrier person, you.

Speaker 1 (01:44:59):
Tip service provider like landscapers, like the people who do
your landscaping. I mean they you know, he thinks I
have people do my life. I mean, I'm just asking
in John, I know you don't.

Speaker 6 (01:45:08):
You're supposed to. Well, I don't have landscaping, That's what
I'm saying. I cut my lot, but the green whatever
grows in my yard, I cut the Uh. I can't
call it a lot. Yeah, but you're supposed to tip
those definitely.

Speaker 1 (01:45:23):
Like if you have, like we get Hello Fresh delivered
every Monday, do I tip that person?

Speaker 18 (01:45:27):
Nah?

Speaker 1 (01:45:29):
Whine? Why is it any different? I think that's the
thing that's scary about this culture, which makes it so
weird is the rules that we've created for Like that
person brings a thirty pound box from their car to
my house every Monday and they drop it off, and
that Hello Fresh junk is no joke because they pack
those bags in there to keep it cold. So it's

(01:45:49):
got two six pound bags of frozen water in there,
sandwiching all the stuff together. Usually the proteins are between them,
so they stay warm, they stay cold, and they get
stay cold for quite a while in case you don't
get it immediately or you're in a home and it's delivered.
I mean, it's the heaviest thing I get delivered to
my house. I don't even think about timming that dude.

Speaker 5 (01:46:10):
Somebody texted earlier and said that they work in the
healthcare industry and diagnose cancer.

Speaker 4 (01:46:16):
No one tips them.

Speaker 1 (01:46:17):
Yeah, nobody tips doctors. I mean because they I mean
the assumption is they already make a bunch.

Speaker 4 (01:46:21):
Of money because they do.

Speaker 1 (01:46:22):
Yeah, I know. But the thing is is, I think,
did you tip.

Speaker 4 (01:46:25):
The doctor that just diagnosed you with cancer?

Speaker 7 (01:46:26):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:46:27):
Tip the doctor.

Speaker 4 (01:46:27):
Here's a slip twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:46:28):
Yeah, who saved me? I mean, if they can. I
tell you, if they diagnosed me early and I had
an opportunity to make it because of that, yeah, I'm
guessing I'd do something pretty cool.

Speaker 6 (01:46:37):
Here's here's a profession we normally don't mention when it
comes to tipping in. A caller just said, please tip
your school bus driver.

Speaker 1 (01:46:47):
Oh my, oh my god.

Speaker 5 (01:46:48):
They're the ones who should get the alcohol that you're
given to you, the trash guys.

Speaker 1 (01:46:51):
No joke, they should get it open. Yeah, you should
hand it to them open.

Speaker 5 (01:46:56):
And I didn't mean trash guys sanitation.

Speaker 4 (01:46:57):
Was that sounded very.

Speaker 1 (01:46:59):
Yeah, and you're fine, they know.

Speaker 6 (01:47:01):
Texter says I should be ashamed of my backyard. I
am not person who I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:47:06):
I am not. I don't know what you know of
my backyard.

Speaker 4 (01:47:10):
And what are you doing in Jack's Jack resunging.

Speaker 1 (01:47:12):
It from all the videos like it's got a bunch
of pictures up there. I don't care. I thought I
had a rogue oak back there. You had like a
really big oak tree in your backyard? I do, Yeah,
I ope. That's the thing. If you have, if you
have somebody in Jack, you did this yourself. But if
somebody came and cut a tree down for me in
my house, I'd probably tip that guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
because I mean, you know, especially if it's close to
my house and and everything went well, and even though

(01:47:34):
you're paying a good dime for that service, that's a
really exclusive service. You make sure those people are taken
care of. Matter of fact, we have had a guy
named Jeff that has been our property cleaning guy because
he's got all the equipment for it, and we've he's
been with us through three of these rebuilds now and
we make him come over all the way from Geneva
to do it. And every single time we pay him up,

(01:47:56):
I throw an extra fifty year Hundo in there because
he does such an amazing job, and he does so
much work for the money we pay him. I almost
feel like we're underpaying him. I hope he's not listening.

Speaker 5 (01:48:04):
Plus for that, that's just covering his gas to get
to your area from Geneva.

Speaker 11 (01:48:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:48:10):
Absolutely, four oh seven nine one six one four one. Again,
you can always text us at seven seven zero three
to one.

Speaker 6 (01:48:17):
Do you have some I'm just looking at all the
different people saying, hey, don't forget your electricians or your
pest control tech.

Speaker 1 (01:48:24):
Yeah. Man, that's the points like, don't forget I mean,
what about hospice. There should be a master list for
who you before you who you're supposed to tip. And
I don't know any what it's based on, because I mean,
you know you're talking about tipping people. Who Is it
a money thing? Is it the perception of what they make?
Is that's what it is? I think is how well
are they compensating? Absolutely? Yeah. I mean if you knew
an uber driver made one hundred and fifty thousand dollars

(01:48:45):
a year, will we be having this argument? No, we wouldn't,
would we.

Speaker 5 (01:48:49):
I'm stupid texted us that if we paid the living
wage in the US, we wouldn't have to ask for tips.
Think about all the Europeans who traveled here and they're
considered the worst tippers because you don't tip in England,
you don't tip in Germany, you don't tip in Spain.

Speaker 6 (01:49:01):
And they've tried it where they're like, why does in
a restaurant just pay them a living wage charge more
for the food. The restaurants that have tried that have
found out people stop going because of the prices.

Speaker 4 (01:49:13):
Exactly. So as we go back to the tipping culture.

Speaker 5 (01:49:16):
It's no different than airlines asking us to tip our
flight attendants.

Speaker 1 (01:49:20):
I heard that, I've not heard that.

Speaker 4 (01:49:23):
Oh yeah, that's the new one.

Speaker 1 (01:49:26):
On the plane.

Speaker 5 (01:49:26):
When that happens, well find out which airlines because Spirit
is one of them that's asking you to tip your
flight attendant and they're not even shy about the fact
that it helps make up their their salary.

Speaker 6 (01:49:38):
Wow, is that new original question? Two guys deliver a
stove and a dishwasher. They debox it, carry it in
the house, and leave it right there in the in
the kitchen as requested.

Speaker 1 (01:49:56):
Okay, let me ask you a question. Did they also
remove the old stuff? They did not? I did not
pay for that, Okay, Yeah, okay, so you've removed the
old stuff, I will You haven't yet, No, because one
of it's holding the water and one of it's still
connected you okay, I got cha? Yeah yeah, okay. So
how much should you tip somebody who d boxed a
fridge or a stove and a dishwasher?

Speaker 16 (01:50:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:50:18):
Yeah, and then bring it into your house and position It's.
All you have to do is slide it into place
and hook up the water. I have to side it
across the room. But I told them where to put it.
They put it where I told them, and you tipped
them twenty apiece ten ten each. How they react to that?
They were very pleased? Were they really? Yeah? I think
they're used to not getting tipped. Yeah, movers, I tip

(01:50:39):
quite well, like when we do the movers. When you're
moving my house, I'll tip you all right for sure.

Speaker 5 (01:50:45):
My last experience with that wasn't so good because you know,
the crew was hung over, and then when I tipped him,
he gave me a dirty look and I was like, unfolded.

Speaker 4 (01:50:54):
There's two of those in there?

Speaker 7 (01:50:56):
Ye yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:50:56):
Oh yeah, you give one of them.

Speaker 5 (01:51:00):
Where I asked you, okay, because I've had to move
all the crap. You didn't move anytime to your bender.

Speaker 1 (01:51:06):
He said, I know your type.

Speaker 6 (01:51:07):
You're the type to give five dollars to the windsher
replacement guy.

Speaker 4 (01:51:11):
That's all the cash I had. Jeffrey was very nice.

Speaker 5 (01:51:16):
Yeah, but he did give me a look like you
could have kept the five right.

Speaker 1 (01:51:19):
For a seven. I load him up. Guys, it's time
for trivia. We'll do that next.

Speaker 7 (01:51:26):

Speaker 4 (01:51:55):

Speaker 23 (01:51:57):
Half a day of negotiating my guy down from twenty
five hundred to fourteen hundred bucks to take down two big,
massive trees that were hanging over my house. I'm not
gonna tip them. I mean he started off high balling
me to begin with. I think the tip was I
gave him the job.

Speaker 18 (01:52:15):
I know.

Speaker 9 (01:52:15):
I always tip my dispensary worker for helping me get
my goodies.

Speaker 1 (01:52:24):
His goodies. He says, all right, seven seven zero three one.

well have you guys been keeping up on The Bruce willis? Situation? No,
yeah you know they they give updates occasionally on you,
Know Bruce willis's health deteriorating, mentally, RIGHT i don't remember
the seventy years old as fronto temporal. Dementia that's. It

(02:02:00):
he needs more care as the disease. Progresses but his,
Wife Emma Heming, willis AND i do not how old she,
Is but when you look at the, picture they look to.
Be she looked to be maybe in her early, forties
maybe we're in the mid. Forties she's. Beautiful she reminds
me Like Tia carrera from back in the.

Speaker 4 (02:02:17):
Day, yeah she does look a little like.

Speaker 1 (02:02:18):
That she made a statement today and apparently is catching
a lot of crap about. It and the statement is
that she is moving out of the house and moving
into a different home And bruce will live in the
home by himself or with, caregivers and they will live
in a separate.

Speaker 5 (02:02:39):
Home AND i remember seeing that, story AND i understand her.
REASONS i understand her. Reasons his care is becoming exponentially
more than what she herself can. Provide and you, know
they have young, daughters and those young daughters can't have,
sleepovers they can't have friends, over they can't have birthday.

Speaker 6 (02:03:00):
PARTIES i think this is a rich person's version of
putting a family member into assisted. Living they are having assisted,
living but instead of sending them, away he is staying
in the house and they are just getting another.

Speaker 1 (02:03:16):
House it, says these are hard. Decisions this is what she's.
Saying these are. Impossible i'm getting choked up thinking about.
It they are impossible. Decisions she keeps saying this over and.
Over this is not HOW i envisioned our. LIFE i
had to make the best and safest decision for our,
family AND i knew by being honest and open about
it that it would be met with a lot of,
judgment which it. Is willis said that she originally, was excuse, me.

(02:03:42):
Hesitant i'm, Sorry, jimmy if you didn't Know. Deb he's
a Big bruce To willis fan broken up and this
is really cut into the. Core originally was hesitant to
announce that the couple would be living in separate, homes
but she understood it was a better decision for their.
FAMILY i have to tell, you, MAN i had a
weird time with this WHEN i read, this because, again
and this is me doing a lot of. Assuming Bruce

(02:04:03):
willis was a very successful actor for a very long.
TIME i don't know what a celebrity net work, is
but it's got to be in the fifty or sixty
million dollar, Range jack, RIGHT i would guess.

Speaker 5 (02:04:11):
That And i'm sad he doesn't remember he's an actor,
anymore and he can't understand why people keep coming up
to him and asking for autographs and.

Speaker 1 (02:04:17):
Photos but WHAT i don't understand, is like, you you
would assume that their house would be big, enough oh
way more than on the shot at, yeah one hundred
and fifty two Fifty oh. Wow, yeah. Yeah so they
have plenty of, assets you, know and they could buy
him another home right next. Door they could, build they
could whatever they. Want two hundred fifty million. Dollars you
could do whatever you. Want AND i guess the thing

(02:04:39):
THAT i didn't understand is, is you, know the daughters are,
there AND i read the thing about the about the
sleepovers and. Stuff but if he wasn't in a wing
of the house that really was not seen by, anybody
or you, know they have to have more than one
master or, WHY i mean that seems to be the. Way,
YEAH i agree with. You it's kind of. Weird it's
weird to want a different. Place that's the thing that's

(02:05:00):
odd for. ME i kind of understand the decision if
you were just if it was just me or you Were, jack,
RIGHT i, mean because it's, yeah but with the resources
that they, have it seems that you would want to
be in the same house with your husband as he's
receiving that, care and it seems like the kids would
want to as. Well NOW i don't know the. Situation
it just hit me a little.

Speaker 6 (02:05:20):
Oddly that's the sickness part of in sickness and, health,
however it's if he needs that much care, then but
it's with the resources that they, have they can have another,
wing they can have an area that they.

Speaker 1 (02:05:39):
Could build out a bedroom to be a convalescence area for,
him and that way they didn't feel separated FROM i
just found where the medical staff will have access to.

Speaker 4 (02:05:46):
Yah, yeah, well somebody just text us at seven seven zero.

Speaker 5 (02:05:50):
Three WHEN i went through it with my, dad at
some point he does not know who anyone is and
he just gets violently angry at the kids and family.
Members and you have to think at the ages that
these girls are. IN i, mean they're under. Fifteen there's
only so much understanding that a child can. Have right
when a parent lashes out at you, violently you can
tell yourself all you, want it's just the.

Speaker 4 (02:06:11):
Illness it's just the.

Speaker 5 (02:06:12):
Illness he does judge, it, no because adults have difficulty accepting.

Speaker 4 (02:06:16):
That imagine when you just you don't know how to process, that.

Speaker 1 (02:06:19):
And that becomes the last thing memory of their. Dad,
exactly it says when it says the best decision for our,
family it was the safest one our family. Is it's
the safest. One our family is. Safe now we're. Thriving.

Speaker 5 (02:06:33):
Yeah Safe, now that tells me right, there that's the key.

Speaker 1 (02:06:37):
Word and then she, says people don't realize all the
needs that go and met behind closed. Doors and now
our children's needs are met as. Well they're in a
home where they can have playdates and, sleepovers these things
that we don't even think. About their world is completely opened,
up and so as my. HUSBAND'S i, MEAN i don't
know how his world is opened, up BUT i would

(02:06:58):
definitely understand.

Speaker 6 (02:06:58):
Her he's not restricted that so if they were, cohabitating
then there would be restrictions on his. Movements now and
now he has a full range of the.

Speaker 4 (02:07:08):
Place exactly did.

Speaker 1 (02:07:09):
You read today whether or can he recognizes his own.

Speaker 5 (02:07:12):
Daughters i've read that he in some cases doesn't recognize. Anybody, yeah, yeah,
yeah and again if he's, reacting if she's saying, safe,
yeah then you. Know and also you have to, imagine
even if she does have, caretakers he still is her.
Husband you, know that is a twenty four to seven.

Speaker 1 (02:07:29):
Job is he?

Speaker 4 (02:07:29):
Falling is he?

Speaker 5 (02:07:30):
OKAY i, mean and after a while the kids feel
like their lives have to be on hold until he
passes away because he's never going to get.

Speaker 1 (02:07:38):
Better how long would you have to stay over every
day to feel like you have met your obligation as a.

Speaker 5 (02:07:44):
WIFE i don't think it's about staying. OVER i think
this way they can come and have visits with him
that will be. Pleasant but then when things get violent
or when he needs care that maybe she doesn't want.
TO i, mean because the girls have been exposed as
far as my, understanding to every aspect of. This but
when you've created a, family you're also still a parent
as well as a as a.

Speaker 1 (02:08:04):
Partner because he's still physically, able is he? Not he
can still walk and stuff.

Speaker 4 (02:08:08):
THAT i don't. KNOW i, know with some, difficulty BUT
i mean BUT i don't.

Speaker 1 (02:08:12):
Think he's bedridden BECAUSE i REMEMBER i remember just recently
seeing a photograph and it was again another part of
the story where you, know you, Know bruce doesn't recognize
this or whateverybody who was standing up with his. Wife you,
know he Wasn't he wasn't like, bedridden which would obviously
could add to the safety aspect of it, too because you,
know if he's WHY i, guess if he's wondering around
or like the.

Speaker 5 (02:08:31):
KIDS i, mean you hear about some of the aspects
of dementia and they can be very difficult even for
adult children and adult caregivers to deal.

Speaker 1 (02:08:39):
With and if you, don't, Look i'm trying to talk
myself into, this WHICH i THINK i already. Have but you, know,
again and if you have guilt about how much time
you spend with, him considering how much time he has,
left you, know and you could say that's just physically you,
know him breathing doesn't mean he has time. Left you,
know if you if you're not aware of who's around
you and you don't experience your family OR i, mean

(02:09:00):
your time is done at that, point you know you're
not really that person, anymore.

Speaker 5 (02:09:04):
Right imagine you're the father of an eight and fourteen
year old, girl and after you pass you find out
that your last moments were violently lashing out at. Them R,
yah would you prefer that they lived in the home with,
you or that they were able to live somewhere that was,
safer more, controlled so that their exposure to you was
under the best.

Speaker 4 (02:09:21):
CIRCUMSTANCES i completely.

Speaker 1 (02:09:22):
Understand and, again one of the things for me is
is the guilt of putting that person in another house
and being away from. THEM i would feel LIKE i abandoned,
them and she. Does but the thing is is really
you aren't because he doesn't recognize, You so you can't
be abandoned by somebody you don't.

Speaker 6 (02:09:37):
KNOW i think part of your concern comes from THE
i think you connect With Bruce willis on a bald,
level as well as being your advanced age with a
much younger wife that you're seeing your future play.

Speaker 1 (02:09:52):
Out you could be, Right, jack that could be lashing
out in defense of what's eventually gonna happen to, me
probably next. Week i'm gonna be. HONEST i think one
of the Nicest.

Speaker 5 (02:10:01):
Willis and imagine you know EVERYONE i would assume and
hope that most people would feel some sense of guilt
when putting someone a loved one in a. Home imagine
what she's going through with the whole world judging her
decisions without ever really understanding what is going on behind
those closed.

Speaker 4 (02:10:18):
Doors, yeah she's.

Speaker 1 (02:10:19):
Got a quarter ability to go. Party now What i'm,
joking it's a. JOKE i can do. Jokes we do jokes,
occasionally we do stuff that's, tough that's so. Funny, yeah
one here said it, says how are The how old
are the? Kids that's the first THING i thought WHEN
i heard about his, Kids, like they're gonna be like, forty,
dude seventy years. Old but he when he married this younger,
lady he had kids with her and, they're like dev,

(02:10:39):
said they're eight and fourteen years.

Speaker 4 (02:10:40):
OLD i will check, that BUT i just remember that
from The Hey jack.

Speaker 1 (02:10:45):
Does does the fronto tempal temporal? Dementia does it shorten
your life or does it just change? IT i think
it does. Both, actually that specific one that's opposed to
just dementia in. General it's because it can be a
cause of, death got.

Speaker 5 (02:11:04):
It so he has daughter's children rather that. Range so
rumor gren willis is thirty. Seven Scout LaRue willis is thirty,
four To Lulu Belle willis is thirty. One then you
go To Mabel Ray willis who is, thirteen and her younger,
Sister Evelyn Penn, willis who is.

Speaker 1 (02:11:21):
Eleven he has all. Girls, wow it's a. Yeah fronto
temporal dementia shortens, lifespan with an average life expectancy of
seven to thirteen years after symptoms on, set often due
to complications like, pneumonia, infections and fall related. Injuries and,
HE i mean was, suffering but we only know it

(02:11:45):
became public a couple of years. Ago, yeah but when
you could see.

Speaker 6 (02:11:48):
It he, YEAH i mean they talked about movies what
he was doing where they have to feed him his
lines into you, know an ear.

Speaker 1 (02:11:56):
Piece, yeah, yeah you could see. That there's actually a
couple movies where you can see. IT i think one
of those last movies he made where he was a you,
know like a you, know you, know a vigilante of some.
Sort apparently you CAN i read. That you could see
him kind of you, know looking a little lost on that. Set. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:12:13):
Well fronto temporal dementia progresses through seven, stages starting with
no visible symptoms and moving to increasing, behavioral, language and motor,
impairments culminating in severe cognitive and physical. Decline yeah, YEAH
i would think he'd want to spare his eleven and
thirteen year old daughters from.

Speaker 1 (02:12:30):
Something what a horrible way to especially when you had
a career like, that when you were like one of
the biggest action stars at one, point the biggest action
Star Planet.

Speaker 6 (02:12:39):
Earth so it's a bigger fault for, him but for
any human being to have to go through, that and
then what the family has to do that is a
special needs. Situation and when when you're facing that kind
of uncontrolled you, know rage and where wherever it comes,
from that uncontrolled.

Speaker 1 (02:12:58):
Behavior is just it's a big.

Speaker 6 (02:13:00):
Ask AND i think you gotta take her at his,
word AND i think that landed on it exactly when
she says the kids are now.

Speaker 1 (02:13:08):
Safe, yeah, yeah, yeah that's a key.

Speaker 5 (02:13:10):
Word when she uses that, word that tells you that
we really don't know what life has been like behind
closed doors one hundred.

Speaker 1 (02:13:15):
Percent SO i just got an update From channel six
that says what The Secret service is in town, for
and you nailed. It they're targeting skimmers AND ebt.

Speaker 4 (02:13:24):
FRAUD i think.

Speaker 1 (02:13:25):
That, yeah is that you? Know that Was carlos the Y,
yeah the cop, said that's something they focus. On, yeah
they're targeting skimmers and, supermarkets corner, stores basically anywhere you can.
Shop they can swipe money from all credit, cards but
ebt cards are especially susceptible because they don't have chip
technology and they're targeting. Skimmers so that's what they're in town.

(02:13:46):
For so don't skim and you'll be. Fine all, right
seven seven zero three, one that's how you text. Us we'll.
Do it's only money next With Bratcher. Brown that's coming
up in a one.

Speaker 7 (02:13:55):
Sec Hey colbert. Show It's DeLand. Man, yeah And. Hawaii

(02:14:18):
WHEN i was growing, up we always would see six
packs of beer all over the trash cans ever around the.
Holidays SO i think you guys are just about to
start talking about. It that was the thing that people.
Did but they just left six packs of beer in
some cases cases of, beer depending on the guys or
how many guys on the. Truck so, anyway have a good.

Speaker 9 (02:14:39):
One so here's the real, question why are you only
waiting until the holiday season to? Tip because there are
many people that don't Celebrate, christmas.

Speaker 1 (02:14:56):
So where did that expectation come?

Speaker 7 (02:14:59):
From basically in the kipping.

Speaker 1 (02:15:02):
Culture, hey, GUYS i hope you guys are doing.

Speaker 2 (02:15:48):
Build isn't that really just common sense financial? Advice it
turns out as, Both oh, okay, here it's all.

Speaker 1 (02:15:59):
Money scott thrown from, Family Scott brown lazy today quite
calling and calling and. Drunk you, know, Buddy i'm. Good
but he's still on vacation For. Thanksgiving you are.

Speaker 25 (02:16:17):
Not though he's getting ready for a golf. Trip he's
fine tuning in to, really, yeah you need some help there,
first he. DOES i saw firsthand keep. WHY i don't
know if i'd call it golf what we, did but
we we hit him all, around play at.

Speaker 1 (02:16:28):
It it was very. Nice. Uh brats are also a
what is your what is your actual? Title? There that's
a that's an interesting. Question Rachel?

Speaker 25 (02:16:36):
Advisor uh, sure, yeah SEE cfo depending on who's, asking
and financial.

Speaker 1 (02:16:41):
Advisor there you find portfolio. Managers you guys are. Produciary
he's been in town for thirty eight plus. Years right
there On Edgewater, drive It's Edgewater Family, Wealth Edgewater familywealth dot.
Com save that and remember, that because you know you
can go to that pulldown bar and actually schedule a
consultation or Download scott's books for absolutely nothing and read
those books and try to make yourself a little better
at to saving and managing your. Money, yes, Sir so

(02:17:04):
it's funny Because scott wanted to talk about prioritizing client
education AND i have to tell YOU i find this very.
Interesting if you are a member or a part of
the show in any, way shape or, Form i'm going
to contact. You, YEAH i feel LIKE i have the
ability to contact. You and the REASON i say this is,

(02:17:26):
because you, know one of the REASONS i love talking
To Ray trenley one of our attorney, friends And Glenn
closma for that, matter is BECAUSE i learn from. Them
like you, know when you ask questions about, law it
doesn't really have sometimes anything to do with What i'm dealing.
WITH i would just maybe have run into a situation
of my real life And i'd be, like this is
an interesting. Conundrum i'm wonder how a lawyer would look at,

(02:17:46):
This And i'll text him and, say, hey, MAN i
ran into a situation you know what do you think about?

Speaker 7 (02:17:49):
This for?

Speaker 1 (02:17:49):
Sure AND i love. That so the idea of you,
guys you, know kind of giving a brief education to
clients on what you, do what you can do for,
them how you guys can make the relationship better and more, Profitable,
YEAH i would think that would be.

Speaker 25 (02:18:03):
Advantageous, YEAH i, MEAN i think To scott's, point education
for a client is, IMPORTANT i think for their long
term well, being, right BECAUSE i can only be in
front of a, client so, much AND i think there
are a lot of people who AND i say it's from.
Experience in my first venture in this, WORLD i was
with a different firm to kind of learn the business. Elsewhere, sure,

(02:18:26):
Yeah and in that, EXPERIENCE i notice there are a
lot of advisors who are saying a lot of things
that sound very complicated and their, clients AND i would
imagine they're not alone in this. Experience when they're in the,
room they are likely thinking one or two. Things, one
thank god this guy's, here because that sounds, complicated And

(02:18:47):
i'm glad he understands. It and TWO i feel better
knowing he's got control of. It but when they leave
the room and go, HOME i think they are very
hard pressed to then recite what it was they were.
Told they don't know necessarily understand what the advisor.

Speaker 1 (02:19:03):
Understands AND i know for a, fact just because we've
dealt with this in a number of, situations you, know
the ego can come into play, there and you don't
want to ask somebody a question because you don't want
to seem like you don't know what you're, doing even
though you've reached out to somebody for that very, service
proving that you don't know what you're. Doing you find
a weird thing like asking. Questions is that what you're run? Into?

Speaker 25 (02:19:23):
Yeah AND i frequently remind clients that they, do in
fact pay. Us they say things, like, OH i don't
want to bother. You it's, well you, KNOW i like,
you but also that's what the money's for. Exactly so,
YEAH i find, again for the long term well, being
in peace of mind for the, client it's important to
us that they understand why things work and how things,
work because if you, don't then you're kind of in

(02:19:45):
some weird anxious, state likely for months at a, time
Until i'm in front of you again and then you feel.

Speaker 1 (02:19:49):
Comfortable do you feel the clients really? LIKE i, mean
you have clients and just go, LOOK i don't care
about hire, ABSOLUTELY i hire you to do. THIS i
trust you know what you're. DOING i don't need. THIS
i could be on the tee right, NOW i could
be on my motorcycle right. Now why DO i want
to do?

Speaker 7 (02:20:01):
This?

Speaker 25 (02:20:01):
Yes and there are some clients like, that AND i
will say that's the other end of the spectrum where
you then have to sit them down and, say, WELL
i need you to understand this and not not because
they need to do our, job but because most things
in our world come with some version of, compromise AND
i need to make sure every client understands what the compromise.

Speaker 1 (02:20:20):
Is, oh really, sure because you're.

Speaker 25 (02:20:21):
Not there is no perfect no matter what some whole
life insurance salesman or annuity salesman or whatever it is
is telling.

Speaker 14 (02:20:27):
You there is no perfect.

Speaker 25 (02:20:30):
Product SO i need you to understand why the thing
we are choosing is not, perfect so you know what
the downsides are to make sure you're.

Speaker 14 (02:20:38):
Comfortable and then.

Speaker 1 (02:20:38):
While we're choosing that particular product for you correct BECAUSE i,
mean your every scenario is. Different and when somebody comes,
in you, know an annuity might not work for, them
or you know or you, KNOW ira might not work for,
them or whatever the case may, be whatever market you
decide to put them, in can you explain to them
why you're doing that so they understand.

Speaker 14 (02:20:54):
That, yeah, yeah and that's it, again that's an ongoing.

Speaker 25 (02:20:56):
Conversation and we manage money in, house so for the most,
part we are making the decisions and then explaining to
them here's what we.

Speaker 14 (02:21:03):
See do you have questions about?

Speaker 25 (02:21:05):
IT a lot of people are getting sold on products
more than once and don't realize that the annuity salesmen
are generally very good at. This you're in a meeting
not realizing that you are about to pay this person a.
Commission they're phrasing it in a way where you're not
aware you've just been sold a. Product, again it's very.

Speaker 1 (02:21:20):
Tricky, yeah talking To Racher brown From Edgwarder Family Wealth
edgewardfamilywealth dot com For it's only, Money jef Something JACK
i did Not oh, okay but so so going back
to the whole idea about you, know in informing them
like so for, me LIKE i would be one of those,
guys be LIKE i hired you for. This, SURE i
do not want to talk to. You i'll call you
When i'm sixty. Five we'll make a plan and Then
i'll get the hell out Of. Dodge because here's the,

(02:21:41):
Thing like IF i took my car to a mechanic
AND i was just somebody who had surface level information
about how cars, work and the guy, goes, hey, look
you know it's gonna cost five hundred dollars because you
know your valve seating was bad and that's WHY i
was doing. This and you're leaking oil into cylinder three
and blah blah blah blah. Blah you, know the person
is just looking at you like you don't. KNOW i, mean, yeah,
OKAY i mean that's WHAT i brought my car here.

(02:22:03):
For you're the mechanic And.

Speaker 25 (02:22:04):
I'm the, car right, Right and, YEAH i would, say you,
know does every client need to understand technical market? Theory probably,
not but for their personal plan for your, car for,
instance it keeps making this.

Speaker 14 (02:22:18):
Noise is the car going to fall?

Speaker 1 (02:22:19):
Apart? No, okay, sure but why is it making this?
Noise why is it making that?

Speaker 14 (02:22:23):
Noise and why is?

Speaker 3 (02:22:24):
That?

Speaker 1 (02:22:24):
Okay, yeah.

Speaker 14 (02:22:25):
Gotcha so you, KNOW i think that. Helps and you,
know we do a lot of work.

Speaker 25 (02:22:29):
Internally you, know for, instance we have Our state of
The union event In, january so that's about one hundred
person internal clients dinner to, say, hey here's the year in,
review here's the year looking. Forward and we do a
few things like that throughout the year for existing clients
to again kind of promote that education to make sure
the clients are empowered to make decisions that they feel comfortable.

Speaker 1 (02:22:50):
With is that a normal thing in firms like? THAT i,
mean this is. Insane i've never heard that. Before that
seems relatively.

Speaker 25 (02:22:57):
ABNORMAL i don't think it's it's it depends that for
the larger, firms where there's a bunch of, employees probably
not so. MUCH i don't know that they're empowered to
make those sorts of, decisions nor did they likely want
to spend the money right.

Speaker 14 (02:23:08):
Right but for this smaller, firms, yes yes and. No
but for us it's been a priority for a.

Speaker 1 (02:23:13):
While you're a younger. GUY i, mean do you mind
me asking how old you?

Speaker 14 (02:23:16):
Are i'm thirty, one so thirty one years.

Speaker 1 (02:23:18):
Old do you ever get you, know when people come,
in do they feel that you're qualified sometimes to do
this even though you've been in this, business your father
has been in the business since you were. BORN i,
mean do you ever run anything of?

Speaker 7 (02:23:26):
THAT i?

Speaker 1 (02:23:27):
DO i, Do and it's interesting how do you combat?
That because, obviously here's the. Thing if you were a
if you're On Wall, street, right and you were a
broker On Wall street and you are, successful you and
your family and your firm are very. Successful, yeah and
you had the right watch in the white, suit in
the right. Suit, no they would say a word to.

Speaker 25 (02:23:42):
You, yeah, YEAH i mean, AGAIN i think it's it's
PROBABLY i DON'T i don't envy the experience of somebody
who's never had an. Advisor AND i will, say, strangely
we are more, COMMONLY i like to, say the last,
stop not the first. Stop so we Get we got
a lot of people who have advices.

Speaker 1 (02:24:00):
And and now know what they don't, Like, OH i
see is your firm like you and your?

Speaker 3 (02:24:06):
Dad?

Speaker 1 (02:24:06):
Like is your firm? Like because you guys are relatively loose.
CATS i, mean you're the vernacular that you use when
you come in and, talk isn't that of somebody who
is a technical trader or a technical. Manager you guys
have a really good uh what's the Word i'm looking,
for jack like vibe where people don't feel intimidated by
the both of you because you're very, ACCESSIBLE i will hope.

Speaker 6 (02:24:27):
Not, yeah they do have a good, report but they
also have, yeah specialists in each facet of.

Speaker 1 (02:24:34):
It and that's WHAT i got to.

Speaker 6 (02:24:35):
See it's, like, well this is our guy who handles,
this and this guy this is the market, guy and
Like Greg, rossler, yeah you know he's the medicare.

Speaker 1 (02:24:44):
Guy so they have to.

Speaker 25 (02:24:45):
Experts, yeah to some, extent we're. Translators you. Know it's
not to say that we don't have our own technical
areas of. Expertise but, yeah to To jack's, point we
have hired, uh what is probably in the eyes of
most advisors in excess of staff who have specialties in different,
areas and it's our job to then translate that, too
plain as what's.

Speaker 1 (02:25:06):
Your favorite part of the, job what's your least favorite
part of the. Job, oh it's.

Speaker 14 (02:25:09):
INTERESTING i was just talking to a new intern about this.

Speaker 1 (02:25:12):
TODAY i would think the best part would be like
when you get to tell, somebody, hey, look you KNOW
i took your nest egg and we increased its we
increased its volume by this. Much and it's.

Speaker 25 (02:25:23):
Interesting it's to, me it's not so much the increasing
BECAUSE i think that's not to say that everybody can
be an, investor because sometimes there's there's behavioral obstacles that
come with, that you, know in people's own. Emotions what
does my father, say your your interests from your. INCLINATIONS
i need to protect your interest from your. Inclinations he's
yelling it at the, radio, Right, Yeah and then he's

(02:25:44):
also telling me that some president said, that not, him
but he'll take, Credit i'm.

Speaker 4 (02:25:47):
Sure SO.

Speaker 14 (02:25:51):
I think to some, EXTENT i can go buy an index.
FUND i can.

Speaker 25 (02:25:54):
Go you, know anybody can go do that for for
at this point of a reasonable. Price so to, me
the woman's you can.

Speaker 14 (02:26:01):
Get that most. Places it's the.

Speaker 25 (02:26:03):
Relationship it's also taking the time to understand what somebody,
is what is required of that person in terms of
what CAN i save you tax, conversations rich all, conversations
estate planning, conversations BECAUSE i think that's the thing THAT
i can truly. Control for me to sit here next
to any other advisor and, say, WELL i perform better
than that guy any given, year that might not be,

(02:26:23):
true But i'd sit down with most advisors and, say
let's really see how curious you are and what you
know about the things you can, control.

Speaker 1 (02:26:31):
Right right, Right, yeah that's.

Speaker 6 (02:26:32):
INTERESTING i would think that maybe one of the positive
experiences from your side was one THAT i, Had like
you go in you're unsure of where you, are and
then you leave with a better understanding and actually a
little more relieved, that, OH i you, KNOW i have
put money in the right places AND i am doing

(02:26:53):
better THAN i.

Speaker 1 (02:26:54):
Thought because for many people it's you, know.

Speaker 14 (02:26:57):
Oh they're going.

Speaker 6 (02:26:57):
Blind, yeah, yeah you're saving for. Time you're, Okay i'm
feeding the four oh ONE. K you might have a
Roth ira on the side and you're just you're you're.

Speaker 1 (02:27:05):
Saving and you think you're doing the right.

Speaker 6 (02:27:07):
Things but when you put, it you, know through the
board and on the screens and you change the numbers,
around you're, Like, Okay, well let's, say, well what do
you want to? Do and that's a question you talk,
About jimmy THAT i was talking to my daughter to
this last. Night one of the hardest questions for people to.

Speaker 1 (02:27:23):
Answer do you? Want what do you? Want, yeah what
do you? Want most people want?

Speaker 25 (02:27:26):
Options and To jack's, point and What i'll say to
anybody listening to this who is considered the consultation and,
GOES i. DON'T i don't want to be sold. SOMETHING
i don't know what it's gonna, first but it's not
gonna cost anything But, jack, right at least as far
AS i can, RECALL i didn't, say, Hey, jack you're doing,
great and also you need this? Annuity, no Or, jack
you need this product or else it doesn't work. Right

(02:27:47):
i'm more than happy for most people to say you
are doing completely fine And i'll be, HONEST i don't
think you should be a, client not BECAUSE i don't want,
you but BECAUSE i don't know THAT i can provide
an value to justify this five years down the road
or just by the fee or anything like.

Speaker 14 (02:28:02):
That, right, right and so, again we have a successful, business,
right we're making a. LIVING i think that's.

Speaker 25 (02:28:07):
Great i'm happy to help more people BECAUSE i do
genuinely believe there are a lot of people who are
not getting a level of service that they know they. Deserve,
however on the other side of, that this is the
thing THAT i do that gets to help people in some. Capacity, yeah,
yeah But i'm more than happy to do that to
the fullest extent That i'm, capable which includes a consultation

(02:28:27):
and letting somebody walk out the.

Speaker 1 (02:28:28):
Door how do you deal with people, that like we
have tough personalities and situations like, This because when you
when you have successful business, owners people who have saved
the money and they're coming for your professional help to
make sure that that nest egg they've worked their asses
off for is going to be safe and, secure but
yet they're a little prickly and. Stuff how do you
deal with? That you want to do a good job
for somebody who maybe you don't have a lot in common,

(02:28:49):
with or maybe you're not even really care.

Speaker 14 (02:28:51):
For, YEAH i MEAN i.

Speaker 25 (02:28:52):
Don't, again this is just another CONVERSATION i was having
with the intern, today OR i, said there will come
a time where client's going to ask you to do
something and the easiest thing to do will be to
give that client what they, want but it is not
in their best. Interest and you now have to, decide
AM i going to argue with this person to do
something that is in their best interest even though it's
not what they? Want and if you're if you believe

(02:29:15):
in what you, do and if you're good at your,
craft then the answer is, yes you have that. Argument
and What, scott you, know my dad would would frequently
say to people is you will know you have found
a good advisor when you find somebody you're willing to
disagree with and somebody's willing to disagree with, you.

Speaker 1 (02:29:30):
Right, yeah, Yeah BECAUSE i would think that would be
the toughest conversation is when a client comes, in especially
if they're a big client that you, know, uh and
you disagree with them and you have to tell, them,
look this is a bad. Idea AND i know you're very,
successful AND i know you got a bunch of, money
but this is not the way to. Go, well it's.

Speaker 14 (02:29:45):
Difficult there's such a.

Speaker 25 (02:29:48):
An abundance of information and a large amount of is
not applicable to most. People, yeah, yeah, RIGHT a lot
of it is applicable to a. Few, Uh and there's
just too much of. It and so today is a great.
Example if somebody wanted to do something roth, conversion they
didn't know. Why they had just heard online this is
good for, taxes SO i. TikTok, yeah probably, Right and that's.

(02:30:09):
Fine that's not to say that those are. Bad but
in this person's specific, scenario at this specific, time now
was not the. Time AND i already knew looking at the,
planning the time for you is two years from. Now
if we do this, now it's going to be. Costly
if we wait till you retire and before social, security
now we have a. Window but, again the easiest thing
to do would have, Said, okay if that's what you

(02:30:30):
want to, do let's do.

Speaker 1 (02:30:31):
It, wow that's, cool that's. Interesting. MAN i got to

party braces for a challenging mid term environment next. Year
desanta's has previously signaled he would he was inclined to support,
redistricting and The FLORIDA gop did score a victory after
the State Supreme court upheld A republican Favorite house. MAP

for the people who live in this area and then work.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
