Speaker 2 (00:23):
According to Google trends leaving up to Halloween, candy corn
was the most searched candy in thirty four states between September.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Third and October third.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
I assume the top search on the subject was ran
out of cat litter.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Candy corn also worked.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Who is strange line? Who is searching? Well, he's pointing
out that candy corn sucks.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
What?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
That's like your opinion? Man, who's searching on candy corn?
The delicious multi hued candy corn, Three delicious flavors in
one candy in case you run out of crayon, stitue on. Wow,
you're heard of tasting.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
You don't get to say anything about candy or food
in general. All right, this, I'm blind man reviewing an
art display.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
What the hell? What kind of monster are you?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
The Wall Street Journal I mentioned this the other day.
America's newest hit candy is gummy, crunchy and printing money nerds.
Gummy clothes clusters are everywhere this Halloween born from years
of geeky research.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
And executives going with their gut.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
It's actually a pretty interesting story about how they came
up with the idea of putting.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
This various flavors together.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Katie, you said you like the Nerds gummy clusters, but
they are They are the hottest candy in America by far.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I describe the flavor for anybody who hasn't my had one,
it's sour ish.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I mean, if you've had Nerds, it's basically a sticky
candy covered in nerds.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I've been a nerd.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I haven't had a nerd'jut, so I don't know much
about candy. But you said the other day it was
like multi flavors as you go. It is like a
nicely structured wine that opens with brambleberry and gives way
to peach.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
And I put one in my mouth.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
We bought them the other day because I'd read about
it in the Wall Street Journal, and I put one
in my mouth and I spit it out immediately. I
found the taste so unbelievably appealing. I don't know if
I've ever spent anything out before like that, but it's
the hottest candy in America.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
The COVID has bent your brain, right, Sure, Michael, if
you had one of these, no, No, okay, Well I'm
the only child, and I think they're delicious. Well, Michael's
got diabetes.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
COVID ruined my sensitive taste, and so yeah, it's a
we're not good for candy.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I'll be having some smoked salmon with a bit of
camon bear.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Whatever that word means. By fantastic.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
So we're going to talk about movies because I think
my thirteen year old feels like he's too old to
trig or treat now. And we're gonna stay home and
watch a movie now and hand out candy if anybody
comes by, although I don't know if anybody's going to
come into my cult set.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Hey, for what it's worth, when my kids made the
transition from getting to giving, they loved it, They loved
greeting the little kids at the door, and just feel
enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
He wants to do that.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I just don't think we're gonna get any treaters where
we live currently. Unfortunately. I'd love it if a bunch
of kids came by. That'd be fantastic. So we might
watch a scary movie and trying to figure out what
to watch. We came across this. This is I've never
seen The Exorcist. I don't think came out in seventy three.
I'd have been way too young to watch a movie
like that, And then I've never gotten around to it.
(03:32):
But here's here's people reacting to The Exorcist back in
the day when it first came out.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I think it's disgusting.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
What's is The thing I've ever seen is weird turn
her head around. We have a lot of people throwing
up and a lot of people shuddering.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
But the thing that really surprises me is people faint.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
I mean, I have never in my life known a
movie where people would faint.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
I never took my coat.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
So a famous scene the Exorcist, which I have seen
clips of as our headspins completely around, was that woman
laughing or crying?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Was she crying because weeping? Yeah, she couldn't compose herself.
Was this before special effects were a thing?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Like?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
No, no actors were harmed in the making of this
head spin? I mean I think it was fine.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Well, there were all sorts of the head spin and
then throwing up green glop as I recall all sorts
of jump Scares and horrors where a little girl turns
into an evil demon.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Hey, I so there was a I saw an ad
the other night. I should have written it down for
a new movie. I imagine it's out right now. I
suppose you put out scary movies for Halloween. It's some
new movie and the the taglines were all about how
it's Oh, I know what I saw.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Let me site I can find the notes on it.
How many huh? I think it was Terrifier three.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Probably is, Yeah, what do you know about terrifier three?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
It's it's obviously it's a third of the these movies
about this just horrifically creepy clown and they're very gory.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, so people are the very title of the movie
has to tell them what happens in the movie. So yeah,
I read like laughing haha one through seven or I
guess comedies. This is what got me on the topic
of I don't understand people who like these movies. And
I have plenty of friends who love gory, scary movies.
I don't get it at all. I have zero interest.
(05:28):
I'm not afraid of them. I just don't find them
in the least been entertaining personally me either.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Oddly, my son is not only a connoisseur of these movies,
but has written brilliantly. He does blogs and stuff on
horror movies. He's got the Jason tattoo on him. Yeah,
it's its own.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
It's like you either like country music or not, or whatever,
or candy Corner not it's it's it's a thing and
some people love it and I have no interest in it.
But Terra Fire three used twenty gallons of blood for
this vomit inducing kill scene. All right, yay, see, I
love you love horror movies.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
You're in that character? Yeah, what's your what's your like? Quick?
Off the top of your head? Your favorite? Top three?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
The show, top three, the Shining, conjuring and the bludgeting, Shining,
the contrig and the Bloodgerd. I would say boys, probably
Ring the Ring.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Okay, yeah, you know that twenty.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Gallons of blood reminds me of my favorite joke. Tried
to donate blood at the Red Cross the other day
and they said, where'd you get all that blood?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
And why is it in a bucket? Exactly? I guess
I'm supposed to say.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
They wouldn't let me Anyway, anyway, there's a lot of
blood back to you.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You you have a you have a favorite scary movie.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I do have a favorite because I I've watched them
with like girlfriends or friends over the years, and that
sort of thing I really liked. I really actually enjoyed
the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie back in the day.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
It was so.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Something about how poorly filmed it was made it seem real.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, that's kind of the Blair Witch project. He captured
that feel years later that that's one of my favorites,
although it turns stupid toward the end.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I'm I don't like horror movies really, and my wife doesn't,
so I'm really stretching to find a good example.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Michael, have you ever seen the movie break Down with
Kurt Russell.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yes, that one actually really frightened me because you know,
you're stuck out in the middle of the desert and
you break down.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Ye movie.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, Yeah, I actually do like that one, and it's horrifying. Well,
what's the appeal, Katie? Can you explain it to us?
For those of us who aren't into the scary movie.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
I don't know what the appeal is. It's just I
I like getting creeped out.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Because Joe's about to explain it to us from a
psychological perspective, but you personally do kind of do you do?
Speaker 1 (08:02):
You do they scare you?
Speaker 4 (08:04):
No, there's something about that feeling of like eerily haunting,
Like I love going to haunted places and old places
that have you know, eerie pasts or whatever.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I there's something about that adrenaline.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Maybe, so like if I put a sheisty over my
face that's what the kids call them. Now, if I
put a schisty over my face and you're walking from
your car at night and I jump out from behind
it with a knife, do you see all that was cool?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
That was fun? Or oh you're getting shot? Now? What
is a shisty?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
They laughing hard in Germany, by the way, that expression,
what does that?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
What does it mean? In German? The s word poopy?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Oh really, it's interesting, and shisty is basically a mask
over your face.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Okay, yeah, skiing or whatnot.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
So this dude, Charles Trapanni wrote a piece I go
through hunted houses and watch horror movies to relax.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Is there something along with me to relax? Okay? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:02):
And he goes into a fair amount of detail, loves
slasher movies. They make him feel meditative and they help
him relax. Haunted houses also feel like home. Halloween's my
favorite time of year, and he's really into it. Goes
to Universal Studios Hollywood La Haunted hay Ride and Creep
ex Ghosts La Experience, both of which left me feeling.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Relaxed and refreshed.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Humm All this led me to wonder, what is it
about horror I find so appealing? And is something wrong
with me? And then he goes into their our various
psychological explanations, some of which he rejects because he spoke
with multiple therapists and two immediately asked me the same question.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
He writes, did I have a traumatic childhood? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
And he said, thankfully no. I tell him my upbringing
was all in all pretty great.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
And they say some people who have experienced trauma find
horror comforting because they can go through it until they've
mastered it.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
But that view is controversial.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah, and I don't believe much in people's ability to
figure these things out either.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
So dude says he's quite anxious. Is that why I
like haunt? Haunted houses? And psychotherapist Stephanie Sarks says maybe.
After all, people cope with anxiety in a variety of ways.
For some, horror is a useful way of releasing stress.
It allows them to safely face their fears and even
have fun with them. It lets us imaginarily enter into
(10:24):
terrifying situations and ultimately feel as if we survive them.
You get a shot of adrenaline and you feel like, Okay,
you know what, I really am safe.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Everything's fine.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
No, that's fascinating because I have horrific anxiety and there
have been times where I'm like, I'm just gonna sit
down the couch, I'm gonna tront a horror movie and
I'm gonna chill out. Wow, And so I'm wondering if
there's something to that.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
It's like, is it you can be honest now? Is
it working with Jack every single day? I would up
trying it.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
It's just so it's like people with ADHD drink those
energy drinks that calm them as opposed to ramp them up.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I know people like that.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, I wonder wonder I would like to know for
the horror movie crowd, is it more women than men?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Does it tend to be people without kids?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Or a certain age, because, as I've mentioned, since I
had kids, I have no interest in practically any movie
or TV show that has any drama, really, because I
have so much drama in my life and things to
worry about. The last freaking thing I want to do
in the world is worry about, you know, to take
on somebody else's difficult dynamics.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yeah, horror, stress, sadness, no, thanks, yeah, accidents, whatever, I
just yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
So, I just wonder if it tends to be younger, childless.
I don't know. I don't know. I don't want to
come off as jd vance or something. Yeah, childless.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yeah, it's the matter with you, you monster, No wonder
Kidie's anxious. Half of the people who like these movies
are trash in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Oh no, supporters, it's a garbage watching these movies.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
We're about at the time.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
But a number of people mentioned The Ring, which I've
never even heard of, Katie, So a lot of other
people like that, Rosemary's Baby, Uh, that's old timey, The
Shining Get the Living Dead, the Exorcist. A number of
people said though Young Frankenstein, while not actually scary, it
would be kind of a funny.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yeah, Halloween movie to watch.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Maybe on the Shining is a classic The Ring I
saw in eighth grade, and if I watch that today.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
It'll still creep me out. Really, Yeah, it's a good one. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I saw some movie I don't think anybody's ever heard
of called Burnt Offerings. My brother and I did when
my parents were gone one time when we were teenagers,
like our first time home alone without a babysitter, and
we watched it and we were both so creeped out
we couldn't go to bed that way. So being young helps.
We got more on the way. You can keep texting
if you want to brand its side.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
Lizzo Nobody at first incredible patrocious defense from the Yankees,
leading directly to a Dodger run in the Fed.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
Another party in the streets of East Los Angeles where
thousands flooded into local neighborhood streets to celebrate the Dodgers
World Series win Air seven, capturing many instances of street takeovers,
cars spinning out in these crowded intersections.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
This is dangerous. We saw it happening over and over again.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
Lots of fireworks being shot off as well street takeovers.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Sure society should just put up with that.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I mean, your favorite baseball team just won, although that's
barely related. I mean sometimes in a college town people
go nuts when their team wins.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
It's mostly about the team.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I think in LA when the Dodgers or Lakers do something, eh,
we know, we get to riot tonight.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I don't live in the right hood, but I'm certain
there is terminology that they use for there is a
large crowd on the streets for something. This gives us
cover to do crimes, right because it's a well known phenomenon.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
God dang it, I find that so maddening.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Back to the baseball thing though, So Dodgers are down
five to nothing, then tie it five to five, all
on unearned runs in the worst inning in the history
of professional baseball, maybe certainly in.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
A consequential game. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Yeah, it was one of the most miserable little leaguish
defense I've ever seen in a baseball game. And it
was in the World Series, in an elimination game.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
So that pitcher that didn't run over to where he
was supposed to be to cover first.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
That was Garrett Cole, who's a fantastic pitcher. Oh yeah,
and they left him in and he did well. Afterwards.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
So good on him for having the mental toughness. But hell,
that'll haunt him the rest of his life.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Won't it.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yeah, it was one of the most impactful mental airs
I've ever seen in baseball. Bill Buckner, who got a
pretty rough hop and had the ball go between his legs,
was like a joke, a goat for kids after that,
Garrett Cole failing to cover first terrible.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
You work on that in spring training, Garrett, What are
you doing? Man?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Sometimes you deserve to lose. That'd be an example of
deserving to lose.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Yeah, yeah, no kidding anyway, So that's over. So I
don't have to watch baseball all the time anymore. I
love it, but it becomes kind of a compulsion, like foma,
I fear of missing out.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I can't not watch it as.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
It it is time consuming because I watched a lot
of the game the last couple of nights and it
took out.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
It ate up some hours that I just really don't have.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
So yeah, I under now I can get back to
my book and talking to my wife and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Ye parenting my kids using my finger quotes.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
So we were talking about horror movies last segment and
This is horror ibyl the North Korean troops being sent
to be a machine gun fodder in Ukraine. The word
is a lot of them have no idea what they're
being assigned to do.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
They're just sent there.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
And as we mentioned the other day, their families are
now being round off around it up and sent to
remote locations so that the families can't tell the other
people in their starving villages. Hey, my kid just got
sent to die in Ukraine. So goes totalitarian governments. But
not only is Russia now hitting up North Korea for
(17:15):
machine gun fodder, they are using young men from impoverished
countries like India, Cuba, Zambia all over the world. They
answer Facebook ads offering construction or other civilian jobs, sometimes
in Russia, sometimes in Ukraine, sometimes in like unrelated countries
in the Middle East.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
It says you'll work construction at the UAE.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Then these guys get shipped to Russian and Russian puts
them in front of the machine guns in Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Wow, third worlders, who you know, they don't have the
political power to make us think about it, right, And
if you followed the stories, they make it clear to
you by torturing and killing some people in front of
you that you run forward, or we're gonna torture and
kill you.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I mean, so those are your options.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Yeah, yeah, grucive some torture and the abuse, sexual and
otherwise the hazing of the new troops.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
It's unspeakable. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Those of you who think put in somehow protecting the West.
Good lord.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Wow, if you miss an hour of the show, get
the podcast. I'm strong and getty on the man, We're
strong and gety.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Do only garbage I see floating down there's his supporters.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
Just to clarify, he was not calling Trump supporters garbage,
which is why he put out a statement that clarified
what he meant and what he was trying to say.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
So I don't understand why you clutching your pearls because
you're trying to make something out of a tomslimp.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
As someone who had a start growing up, it's very
obvious to me if there's an apostrophe at the end
of supporters there, he was referring to the garbage viewed
by supporters, not simply the supporters themselves.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
I don't understand why he's walking that back, because I mean,
based off the examples he gave you. If you are
a person who supports those examples that he gave you
are garbage.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Well, at least that's the more honest of you.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Yeah, this is why I believe Biden's gaff, whatever the
explanation you want to offer for it, is maybe the
most consequential gaff in the history of presidential campaigns. Trump
and company have seized on it brilliantly with the Trump
dump truck ride and the address in the crowd on stage,
with the reflective vest of a sanitation worker, and I mean,
(19:23):
they're making beautiful hey with it. And Jack, well, I'll
let you make the point again that you made earlier.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I don't remember what it.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Was about why it's landed so so resoundingly, I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
That's what.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
For goodness sakes, somebody's got to write down Jack's pearls
wisdoms like he's chairman MAO, so he can remember them. No,
you made the point that that's what Kamala and her
people actually think about Trump supporters.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yeah. I think that probably is true. How would it
not be, I mean.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Everybody's so true the Beltway establishment has nothing but contempt
for Trump support of course, Yeah, of course they do,
and so that that is probably why it sticks, is
because you know, we know that's how you actually feel.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
It's not like.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Sometimes there's you you can slip up anything. Do you
think that. No, no, no, I don't think. Oh good,
I didn't think you probably did. Well, this is not
one of those. This is a I assumed you thought that.
Now you've confirmed it. At the risk of muddying the metaphor.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I'm reminded of some scenes in various movies, and it's
it's kind of a common trope, but where you have
the person who is trying to fit into high society
for one reason or another, and they think they're doing okay,
and then somebody makes a snide, condescending comment and the
person realizes, oh no, I'm not fitting in at all.
(20:49):
In fact, they're all making fun of me. And it
has that same feel. Even if Biden's senile and he
meant an apostrophe or whatever, it just rang true anyway.
In other news, What a great pleasure of this pleasures
of this job, which if we ever give it up,
I will miss bitterly, is the ability to tell the
(21:11):
truth in spite of social pressures, you know, and political correctness,
that sort of thing. And those of you in blue states,
blue professions, you know, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I'd never used that. That's what just before? What do
you call a blue profession.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
That's like, if you're in education, if you're in entertainment,
you were in media, you're in a blue profession where
you dare not speak your mind, which is a hell
of a thing.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
And I would say, that's yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Even if you're not, you're in a profession where it
would be uncomfortable to be a person of the right.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Right.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Yeah, anyway, that's one of the great things about our
job is we can tell the truth and I don't
give a single fly and you know what who it offends,
which is why we prepare pretty carefully for the show.
So I don't want to be wrong and defensive. But
if I'm right and offensive, too bad. Anyway, here's the
headline for you have forty one illegal aliens arrested for
looting after Hurricanes Helene and Milton Pinellas County, Florida. The sheriff,
(22:11):
Bob goldt Airy says from October second through October twenty third,
roughly three weeks, the Panelas County Sheriff's office arrested a
total of forty five individuals on sixty eight charges, including
armed robbery, burglary, loitering and prowling, ground theft, grand theft, vandalism,
trespass them all trespassing, all having to do with the hurricane.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
I'm going to handle this the way they would handle
it on face the nation or meet the press, or
debate or something. I'm going to jump in while you're
saying that and say, fact check, illegals commit crimes at
a lower rate than other citizens, and we need to
move on so on the question of the economy, because
that's why they do the fact check.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
They land the fact check, and then they move on
to a different topic so you can't respond to it.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Of those forty five arrested during that three week post
hurricane period, forty one are illegal aliens. Forty one out
of forty five from Mexico. K you about Columbia, Honduras,
Venezuela and other countries, again according to the sworn sheriff
of Penelus County, And if you.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Have pointed out many times, even if people here illegally
do commit crimes at a lower rate, and I don't
know how you would possibly know that.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
But even if it were true, what difference does it make.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yeah, there's a less one less crime, or in this case,
forty two less crimes that would have been.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Committed if you had a secure border.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Well, it's forty one fewer criminalles who were committed multiple crimes.
In addition to the arrests Gualtier, he said, the deputies
encountered almost two hundred other individuals who were in Penelas
County immediately after the hurricane, who did not have any
explanation for why they were there. But they were not
arrested because the deputies did not have probable cause, but
they suspected strongly that they were there to graze.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
If you will.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Speaking of political incorrectness, this is well, there's a little
there's a there's a jug in the road, there's a switcher. Uh,
there's a plot whist towards the end. But first, this
happened on CNN the other day. Here are your players.
You have Ryan James Gerdosky, who is a Trump surrogate
(24:11):
and writer commentator, and he is talking to Mede Hassan,
who is a Muslim commentator and frequent panelist on CNN psycho.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
I get it. Nobody wants to be called Nazis. It's
very inflammatory. But if you don't want to be called Nazis,
stop table and people are by me. I never called you.
I mean, I'm not saying her saying I'm one of
the Pudestinians. I'm used to it. Yeah, well, I hope
your beeaper doesn't go off. The thing is is that
(24:46):
you should know you just said I should be kill No,
I did.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Not say let me, let me just.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Guys. Let's are you apologize?
Speaker 8 (25:08):
Ryan?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Right? That is completely apology. The first block say the
Muslim guys should be blown up. I apologize on TV.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
Don't say don't say then I apologize you literally.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
You didn't think said so you're a great guest to
be here n ones today and so this is this
is America. Say, okay, I didn't follow all that. There was.
There was a lot there, Yes there was. It was
(25:40):
better in headphones.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
But those of you listening, they are arguing back and
forth and making excuses and are you trying to kill?
Are you calling for me to be killed? Live on TV?
Did you just say I should be killed? Lockbown CNN?
That's disgusting. All sorts of you.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Doesn't go off. Oh my god, yeah, that's that.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
That is a hell of a thing to say. So
when the commercial when they then the show returned from
a commercial break, mister Gerdusky was no longer on the set,
and miss Phillips, whoever a hell at particular talking twit
on CNN, said there, I said twit. There is Oh please,
CNN's got practically nothing but twits on the air. Anyway,
(26:23):
they came back from the break.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
So you're gonna be.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Dressed as a misogynist for Halloween, I said twit, said
Miss Phillips, the aforementioned twit. There is a line that
was crossed there and it's not acceptable to me.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Statement you blow up. No, that's not what he said.
You're paraphrasing.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
CNN issued, there's a plot twist, remember there, laughing boy.
CNN issued to statement shortly afterwards, quote, there is zero
room for racism or bigotry at CNN or on our air.
We will not allow guests to be to mean or
for the line of civility to be cross Ryan Gronowski
will not be welcome back at our network. Well, as
it happens, mister Hassan has a rather rich history of
(27:08):
preaching at the local mosque. His his speeches are rife
with non Muslims are animals, homo. He says stuff about
gay people that if a conservative said it, they would
be out of their job, if their job was a
trash collector in Donald Trump's truck.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah, I'm I'm amazed that he works on a you know,
a major cable network.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
The things that he says and tweets, it's just wow. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Yeah, we ought to go more into his history because
I've just got a couple of examples. But the one thing,
and this is what makes me so angry, your preaching
doesn't off well, that was out of line. It was
certainly provocative. Yeah, I mean, I'm not defending that in
the least. It's just the one sided outrage on CNN
is so precious. And the fact that no he wants
(28:00):
to talk about that, by the left's very definitions, not
mine by the left, by CNN's very definitions. Mister Hassan
and of broad broad stripe of Islam is extremely bigoted
toward various groups that are protected fiercely on CNN.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
But if it comes from the mouth of a Muslim,
it's okay.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
It's perfectly Okay, you're pathetic, you have no principles.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
See, wow, she got.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
That guy and all the things that he does and
says and tweets follow look at his Twitter sometime.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
But and then guy threatened him with getting blown up.
Well I didn't threaten him exactly. It made an ill
considered a joke there. Wow, that's some uh, that's some
discussion there on CNN. And it was impossible to follow also,
which is what always happens.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Yeah, there he is on his Twitter saying there's fascist
and genocide on the ballot.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
There you go. Yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
I think if you're being fair, you got to admit
that Trump's garbage truck maneuver was pretty well wrought, well timed,
well executed completely all the way around, from the driving
the dump truck to the little speech he gave last
night at the rally.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
I mean we've often used the expression hand you're opponent
a club to beat you with. Well, they handed him
a club and he turned it into I don't know,
an atomic bomb or something.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
They are making Hay with this like crazy. Yeah, if
you haven't heard any daw, we got some of that
on the way, among other things. Stay here.
Speaker 9 (29:40):
So this guy David Muir, you know, pretty boy, he
goes touched off. I don't think he's that good looking anymore.
Time does that, time does that?
Speaker 1 (29:54):
What the hell.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Trumps rally? But I like the self deprecating humor, you know,
I think it works. I don't hear that very much
from other politicians where they mock their weight, their hair, their.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Age, other than I'm a knucklehead some times, right, and
I'm a knucklehead at times.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
But anyway, so we know the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Right, There was the stupid joke about Puerto Rico that
shouldn't have been much of a story anyway.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Then Biden responded it to it.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Like garbage I see flowing down there as his supporters.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
And that shouldn't be a story. But if you're gonna
make the other one a story, you're gonna make this
one a story. And I mean, it shouldn't certainly be
multi day stories the last week of an election. But
you played that game on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
over the Puerto Rico joke. So everybody else gets to
play this game with the president's comments, and you're not wrong.
But move to a universe where this stuff doesn't matter politically, right.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
It seems too right.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
So Trump got in a garbage truck yesterday.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
And it sounded like this, how do you like my garbage truck?
Speaker 9 (31:02):
This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
And then he talked a lot about it at his rally,
wearing the orange vest, and we played a whole bunch
of it earlier. And he talks about getting in the
truck and we drove like two feet and I got out,
which I thought was hilarious to you know, admit to
the photo op aspect of it.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
I thought that was funny. But anyway, explains the orange vest.
Speaker 9 (31:21):
And then I gave a little news conference from the
front of the you know, they asked their wise guy
questions and everything, and then we drove about two feet.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I got into the planet and then I got in the.
Speaker 9 (31:36):
Car and I'm driving over here and I have this
still on. And I come into the arena and I said,
where's my jacket? I want to get out of this stage.
And they said it would be unbelievable if you could
wear it on stage.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
I said, and I said, no way.
Speaker 9 (31:57):
I got twenty five thousand people say outside.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I got all these people here. There's no way I'm
wearing it on stage.
Speaker 9 (32:04):
They said, oh okay, sir, I.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Said, get me my jacket.
Speaker 9 (32:07):
But if you did, you know it actually makes you
look thinner, I said, and they got me. I said,
I want to wear it on stage.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
When they said I looked thinner, I said, in that case,
I'll wear it on set.
Speaker 9 (32:27):
I may never wear a blue jacket again. I may go,
I may go in this.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
I said that. That was my That was the word.
That was the key. So you look thinner? So how
does that play?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Wearing the working class vest in front of a crowd
full of overweight people like we all are.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Sure, yeah, and calling out the idiocy of politics for
its idiocy, right in front of a crowd, having participated
in it, winking at them, making them his confidant.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Exactly, we drove like two feet I got out. Everybody
laughs like right, So he.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Does the beautiful political stunt that admits it's a stunt
and laughs with his supporters about it.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
How that's look, Trump's got a thousand flaws, but that's brilliant. Yeah,
he has got a talent for that. There's no doubt, sir.
It makes you look thinner, like the way in his
world everybody calls him sir and everybody they came to
me and they said, sir.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Oh, that reminds me.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Speaking of behind the scenes and letting people in on things.
I'm pretty sure I retweeted this. Let me verify that.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
If you follow us on the Twitter sometimes known as
x I won't call it x.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Yeah, it's it's a videotape behind the scenes of Trump
watching and reacting to Kamala's DNC speech and dictating what.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
To tweet to his assistant and that sort of thing.
It's it's really quite interesting.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
It's barely a minute long, but I just found it
revealing and interesting to see trump worlds behind the scenes
in action. Again, if you follow us on Twitter, Armstrong
and Getty, you can get it.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
You know what, I'll send it to the guys.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
We can post the video the link at armstrong and
geddy dot com.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
See when none so biased they can't say it out loud.
Pundit strategists say Trump is one of the most talented
politicians ever.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
That's what they're talking about.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
What he just did, He clearly is he's one of
the best politicians.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
He's ever lived.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
He's also a crazy person, and then he does things
that are malpracticed, like not letting Nicky Haley campaign for him.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Just out of spite. It's just dumb.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
But as I said earlier, if he loses, and he might,
his not utilizing Nicky Haley to woo suburban women will
be Hillary's didn't go to Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
By the way, I watched.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
I listened to a podcast yesterday with Steve Kernaky of
he's the NBC poll guy who's super you know, nerdy
number guy, and I think very fair, even though he's
on an incredibly unfair channel. But he said things to
watch out for, and I hadn't thought of this before.
The higher the turnout, the more it benefits Trump. A
low turnout is good for Harris because so many of
(35:16):
the Trump voters are people that don't regularly vote, and
they came out of the woodwork in twenty sixteen, came
out of the woodwork in twenty twenty, just not as
many as the people that came out for Biden. But
high turnout. So if you're seeing high turnout early in
the evening, that's good news for Trump.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Low turnout's good news for Harris.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Also, the polling shows the gender gap favors the GOP,
perhaps for the first time in history, in model since
they've had polling.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Well, it's always been.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
I'ven't hearing about the gender gap since I was a kid,
and it was always because more women turnout for Democrats
or whoever than men do. So it's could you even
that up? For the first time ever, It's going to
be more men than women determining an election based on
the most recent polling, and that's never happened before. I'm
sure it happened back in the day, like certainly pre
nineteen twenty when women weren't allowed to vote, but in
(36:11):
the modern era, the women are more dependable voters than men.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
I almost saw it's a good old days jokes. Thank
god I restrained myself.
Speaker 6 (36:20):
I'm black.
