Speaker 1 (00:00):
In honor of our president. We're going to do the weave.
It's one more thing.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I'm strong and getty.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
One more.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Do you know what the weave is? That's what they
Does Trump call it that or do other people call
it that? Anyway?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Trumped us?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Yeah, when he's given a speech and he just kind
of goes around from subject to subject to subject and
then brings it back to something, we're going to kind
of do that here.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
We don't have.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
A particular thing. I'm just going through my notes from vacation.
Somebody did win a one point eight two billion dollar
jackpot in the power Ball, second biggest ever.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
One me too. I haven't said anything about it. I'm
that down to earth.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
One point eight billion dollars. So the one time lump sum,
if they decide to take that, will be eight hundred
and thirty five million dollars. Okay, So even if you
have to pay half of it in Texas, you have
all of a sudden four hundred and twenty million dollars.
That's a lot of money. The worst thing that could
(00:54):
happen to you, It's hard to imagine coming out of
that better than you entered it. Even if that is
the standard five years from now, is your life better
or worse. It's hard to imagine it being better in
my mind, you know, I was just for most people.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
I was just talking to a friend of mine the
other day who got some form of inheritance, and it
wasn't a huge sum of money, but I mean it's
a lot for him. The amount of people hitting him
up for.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Money, wow, is on.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
And we're not talking lottery money. We're talking you know,
a few thousand, you know. But he's like, I can't
believe I'm getting calls from people that I haven't talked
to in a couple of years.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Well, just so just start there. If you live in
one of the states where they make you identify yourself
for promotional purposes, and so your name is out there
that you've got four hundred some million dollars, yeah, you
immediately have to move, change your name, change your number.
I mean, so you got a hassle right off the bat,
best case scenario, man, and yeah, and you.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Just have to establish your trust and get used to
saying I have no control over the trust.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
There's a there's a board that decides where the money goes.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yes, but I.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Because a lot of the the begging you would get
would be pretty legitimate and pretty hard tug.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Oh hell yeah, like like all of it could be right. Look,
my kid's going to be dead by by spring if
I don't get this much money for this procedure. And
then if you're single like myself, imagine that nightmare unless
you're just going to keep it a secret, but then
would be pretty tempting to not keep it a secret
(02:33):
for obvious reasons. Oh my lord.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah, I've said many times I think I could handle it,
but I concede it.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Would be enormously difficult.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I wouldn't mind giving in a world, but right the
way it would affect motivation, I would really worry about
could I still be motivated to do a variety of
things that I like to do or want to do? Yes,
or how I would treat my Thank you for asking
the answers I know I could absolutely real quickly, or
(03:07):
I had something to say. Oh, I live next door
to a brain surgeon once, and he was a douchebag,
but he said something very very interesting to me once
before I really he probably knows you're talking about him,
because you probably didn't live next to that many different
brain surgeons.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Well, he's an a hole.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
He can think whatever he wants, but it's probably not
his fault. I think he had an abusive father anyway,
who drove him to achieve and achieve and achieve, and
it was never good enough, and it tortured him anyway,
that turned him into an a hole. But I asked
him once as we were sipping a glass of something
delightful and purple, I said, how do you handle the
(03:47):
whole life and death thing day after day? And he said,
I can't let their problems become my problems, or I
wouldn't be able to function. To do my job and
to save the most people, I have to be dispassionate.
It's a mathematical thing. If I can separate myself from
(04:08):
oh my god, this is a living person with people
who love them and dreams and aspirations. I'm a better
surgeon because I keep a cool head. You would have
to get to the point where you'd say, I understand
your child will die if they don't get the money,
but I will go berserk and all the money will
be gone. If I go on an ad hoc basis,
(04:32):
every person who comes up to me, I decide, yay,
you're Nay, that will never work.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
As a system. I've got to trust the system.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Now go away, Now go away.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, remember about forty five seconds ago, I said, but
it would be enormously difficult.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yeah, anyway, now go away with You're trying, kid with
a disease, get hired.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I try to throw that in. But anyway, where we're Ay, Yes,
winning the lottery.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Still doing the weave. I was looking at my pictures
from my notes. One of them is of a turkey
in a pan, which reminds me Henry. He was thirteen
at the time. Oh, he was fourteen because it was Christmas,
made Christmas dinner. It was just him and me, very cool,
and he looked up on chat GTP what he wanted
(05:22):
and we went to the grocery store and he bought
all this stuff. I let him do it on his
own and wrung it up and brought it home and
he made a turkey and sweet potatoes and corn bread,
like baked a turkey. However many hours that takes. It
took him the whole day working in there.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I'll always kind of enjoyed the esteem of the crowd
when I unleash the bird and slice it up and
it's nice and tender.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Now children can do it. No good for him, that's terrific.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
It was cool. It was cool that he did that.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
And do you attribute at least part of that to
his boy scout experience?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Probably? Probably actually some of it. I also, if I
want to make it ultimately sad, do I want to
turn this ultimately sad? I think he knows I don't cook,
and he and his mom have no relationship, and he
was hoping to have some sort of Christmas dinner and
not if I'm going to have one, I'm gonna have
to provide it myself.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
No, that's you know what, That's a really great and
beautiful way to deal with a very very difficult circumstance.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, I will make it happen. Yeah, what a fine
land And he did, and he gave him something to do.
This one is definitely a downer. I'll save it for
the show tomorrow. Maybe I'll end with this.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Oh man, grace, something to look forward to, folks.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I'll just give you the teas and I'll give the
whole thing the Jewish Center in my tiny little town,
which I have been too many many times for other reasons,
not Jewish reasons. But they have other sorts of meetings
there and everything like that. Can no longer have those meetings.
They have a great, big, giant fence they just built
around it because it's they don't feel like it's a
safe campus anymore. Jeez, that is not a good change
(07:05):
in my life.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Wow, that is.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
A down, isn't that something? All the years I've lived
in that town for dang near a quarter century and
it's just been like an open campus and you could
go over there and whatever they were going to do there.
Now it's got great, big, giant, I mean really big,
really solid fence all the way around it that they
decided they need.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
This is nineteen thirty four Germany, and this means like
a lot of the world. Yeah, no, let's not crack
down on anti Semitism. We might make somebody mad.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Oh we do have something funny coming up that's good
to end with. Yes, I'll throw this in here. Uh.
Giorgio Maloney, who have the Prime Minister of Italy who
we've quoted a couple of different times for her big
speech she gave on Christmas Eve. I think anyway, one
thing she said, Georgio be a dude. Georgia, OK, yeah, okay,
all right. I was gonna say, is it acause you know,
(08:01):
Oh she's she's cute too.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I like her. She's tough, she's cute.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Anyway, she said, this pasture has been tough for all
of us, but don't worry, because next year will be
even worse. I wonder even more. Now, Yeah, good stuff,
she got a man.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Maybe I'll put in an application.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Anyway. Our favorite Trump impersonator who posts stuff online took
a look at the capture of Nicholas Maduro. And here's howtwin, my.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Fellow Americans, it is my great honor to announce the
capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro, a very nasty person
with a very stupid mustache. It's very stupid, and he
broke what's called the Trump doctrine. F around and find out,
and he afed around for too long. And now we
(08:51):
found out. Our beautiful men and women of our military
entered his home through a hole that was created after
we attached Chris Chris to a wrecking ball. We blew
a big, beautiful hole in the house. And they said
to me, Sar, we found him, sir, he's sleeping like
a baby in Hello Kitty Pajamas. Believe it or not,
(09:11):
he was in Hello Kitty Pajama sucking his thumb in
the fetal position. They said to me, Sar, what do
you want us to do?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Sir?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
I said, get him out, and they got him out.
But when we convict Maduro, we're going to shave off
that horrible, stupid mustache. And we're looking at where to
send them. We're looking at Seacat. It's a beautiful place
in El salvad a very tough place, and if he
goes there, maybe the Democrats could have a margarito with him.
(09:38):
You know, they like to do that, so maybe they
can do that, or we may send them to Somalia.
I call it a sugar honey iced tea holl You
know what I'm talking about. Solalia. It's a very nasty place.
But the days of Maduro sending drugs and gang members
into our country are over. And let us serve as
(09:59):
a message the rest of the world. If you're a
dictator who threatens the United States, including the Ayatollah of
Iran and his many wives or goats or whatever the
hell he's doing in that cave, We're gonna come for
you too. Do not break the Trump doctrine, frat and
find out. If you abide by it, you're not gonna
have a problem. But if you break the Trump doctrine,
(10:21):
you're gonna have a lot of problems. Thank you for
your attention to this matter.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
You know what's interesting about that. I'm sure we are
all thinking about it. That's only like one percent off
what he might have said.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Mean the comedian Shane Gillis does a thing about Trump's
speech that he gave after we killed bag Daddy, and
Trump basically sounded like that he died like a dog,
laying there in his bed like a coward with his
stupid beard. I mean, it's almost exactly.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
This sort of thing. How do you parody it? Exactly?
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Sugar honey, iced tea hole.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Spells ship jack. Oh, I get it. Okay, that's troubling, troubling.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
There's no need remember, like the Prime Minister vitally said,
you thought last year was bad, next year it's going
to be worse.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Thanks for that, sweetheart.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Well, I guess that's it.
In honor of our president. We're going to do the weave.
It's one more thing.
