Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome out number two. We were brought to by the
Kentucky Office of Highway Safety. Dwight is out, John William
more than third is in. I am Tony Venetti and
I signed up last night for call she cal she
cals Calsh is a betting site that's not it's more
(00:23):
culture than betting ka Lshi. Okay, you can bet on things,
you can bet on sports and stuff like that, but
this is a site you can bet like, the first
thing you can bet on under culture is the top
artist on Spotify this year? Will it be Bad Bunny
(00:46):
or Taylor Swift?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Really? So it's just a sports betting for non sports,
like you.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Said, correct, Yeah, it's gambling on culture. Diffultup culture, Bad Bunny.
Ninety five percent of the money is coming in on
Bad Bunny.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
He was.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I think I mentioned this whenever he was announced for this,
you know, to do the Super Bowls. I think it
was last year, maybe the last couple of years he's
been the top artist on Spotify. I guess it's maybe
been Taylor Swift number two.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
That whole controversy. It's just like, this is what America
has come to, where we have to make a controversy
about the damn halftime act at the Super Bowl. I mean, seriously,
can we just go, Okay, you don't like him, let's
move on. I don't know who he is, so I
don't and I get it, and it ties into all
other kind of controversies. I get it. But and we
(01:37):
talked about it earlier a couple of weeks ago. But
but ninety five percent of money I want to go
Taylor Swift at this point, I don't know though, Like,
why not put ten bucks on Taylor Swift?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Is she the underdog in this show?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
And four percent of the money has coming on on
Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
That's wild. And I bet I bet you're seeing an
increase in Bad Bunny listenership because of not only the controversy,
but just the fact that he's going to be in
this super Bowl. People are curious because people know who
he is, and apparently he's popular enough that he's He
was already on top of the Spotify charts before, and
now more people in general are just going to listen
out of curiosity.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Here's why I think this will be more successful than
I'm about to say something. I think that sites like
this and I think DraftKings does this also to a
certain extent. I think this will be more popular than
sports gaming, because, let's just be honest, you really have
to know what you're talking about to try to predict
a football, baseball, basketball game, and then the different levels.
(02:34):
I mean, betting college football is way different than betting
the NFL or greed. Yes, So here's the thing. People
that know a lot about culture, music or the news.
Those people now are in right because those people before
were like, they call it sports ball. Oh don't, I
(02:56):
don't watch sports ball.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Like here's an example. You mentioned music. We just had
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions a week
or so ago, right, I'm sure when the weeks are
so leading up to that, you can bet on who
who's gonna get in, who gets in and who doesn't?
The number You can also bet the number two. Bet
on this is the number one searched person on Google.
Will it be Pope Leo or Beyonca Censori. I'm surprised
(03:20):
it's not Trump, to be honest, no doubt. I guess
people know now. Yeah, all right, so Pope Leo is
only getting forty one percent of the vote here or
the money and I don't even know who Bianca who?
Who is the second person?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
And that Beyonca Censori. I have no idea who that is?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Top Us Netflix Movie of the Week you have to
specify not Netflix in the world because obviously it's a
worldwide platform. Top Us Netflix movie this week either Frankenstein
or k Pop Demon Hunters.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Gosh, and that's been going on for so long now too.
K Pop is still at the top of Netflix.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
The k Pop is just destroyed records like it's just
it's there's so many views of this, it's insane. I
did watch The Frankenstein. I thought it was a little weird.
It's artsy. Does that make sense?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Like they just they take it in a direction that
you wouldn't imagine a Frankenstein movie to go. I guess
yes you're saying.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
And I don't like the Frankenstein the way. I just
didn't like the Frankenstein But they so what the what's
the money? What's the money coming in Frankenstein or k
Pop Demon Hunters for top Netflix movie.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
The I think it's k Pop still.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Ninety two percent of the money is coming in on Frankenstein.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Really, yes, it must have had a really good I
guess I was gonna say opening week, and it's like
we're talking about movie receipts or something like that. Must
have had a good first week on Netflix or camp.
If it's a Frankenstein that come out in Halloween, has
it been out since October?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Uh? What Frankenstein? Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I don't think so it's strange that they would have
released this after the Halloween season.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Right, Okay, explain this to me. It says Game of
the Year, and I go, okay, what is this? College basketball? Football?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Video games, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
It's video games? Claire Obscure Expedition thirty three or Hollow
Night Silk Song.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Wow, I'm familiar with Hollow Night. I've played neither of
those games. I'm more of a retro gamer. When I
do have the time to even sit down and do
something like that nowadays, I couldn't tell you what that
Claire whatever you just said, that was.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Claire Obscure, Obscure Maybe no, a Obscure Expedition thirty three.
I don't know that game, all right, So this one
is this is where everyone can have an opinion about this, Right, So,
if you're not into sportsball, you start to gamble. Will
(05:46):
All I Want for Christmas enter the top ten on
the Billboard Hot one hundred chart for the week of
November twenty second.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
That is a very interesting one, right, That's just so random, because,
especially me being somebody who doesn't frequent Christmas music in general,
no matter what time of the year it is, I
wouldn't really know when that stuff really begins to ramp up.
I know some people will start Christmas music before Halloween
even ends, but I feel like once you kind of
get into the middle of November, you start to see
(06:18):
that transition. To some people, all they do is listen
to Christmas music. So maybe maybe you do see it
inner number.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
All I Want for Christmas is you?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
That's the that's Mariah car Arah Carrey, right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
And that's that's Thanksgiving week. So everyone's ramped up. By
the way, I'm already in Christmas mode. I'm your house decorated.
I pulled the trees out of the garage. I have
three Christmas trees. I pulled them out of the garage.
I got them in the back living room. I'm ready
to I'm ready to start putting things up.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I love I love.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Christmas, and I go over the top inside the house,
over the top.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I'm excited because we won't put up our decorations until
closer to Thanksgiving or right around that weekend. We usually
do two but we're doing brand new decorations this year
for you.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, good for you. And the classic stuff is the
most expensive. Those old school nineteen seventies are classic. Yeah,
those are all like a hip now and it's and
if you actually find some vinted stuff, it's like a
small plastic Santa with one little light bulb in the
bottom of his feet are like one hundred and twenty bucks.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Cy the novelty of it all. Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
So four percent say yes, ninety six percent say no.
It will not be in the top ten of the
Billboard hot one hundred.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I feel like the best way to check that if
you're going to bet, if you're able to go back
and look at the previous years where Mariah Carey's song
gets in the top ten, that might help you out
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Okay, all right, So we are on this website. Calshi
is the name of the website. I signed up yesterday.
You have to have proof of who you are, so
I sent them, am I stupid? I sent them a
picture of my light driver's license.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
That's a little especially if you just found out what
it was a couple of days ago, that might be
a little risky. I don't know if I would have
done it. I can't get to send a picture of
your driver's license. I mean, you don't just type in.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
You don't think that every website in America or doesn't
already know my license number and all that.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I just can't think. And I'm not signed up for
the sports betting apps in a long time, but I
can't remember putting in my driver's license. I do think
I might have put in my social though potentially I
don't know for sure.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
All right, here to tie into our AI conversation, are
you ready, okay? Times Person of the Year twenty twenty five.
AI as a a person of the year, qualifying as
a per leader with a thirty six percent as a whole.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
AI is a person of the year. That's that's you.
That shouldn't even qualify. AI should not qualify as Person
of the Year. We don't need to humanize things that
don't have a soul.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
But understand how Time magazine is in. What business are
they journalist? Are they a business.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
They're a business.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
And if you're a bus business, what will get people
talking about Time magazine more Pope Leo on the cover
or the AI as a Person of the year.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Jesus will not be happy about that.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I'm just saying. I'm just saying, they're a business. So
I right now, this might be the first bet that
I would make.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
AI being Person of the year. Yes, is it the underdog?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
No, it's leading in the clubhouse with thirty seven percent.
Jensen Hung Jensen Hung. I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
If not familiar, I would assume that's a South Korean person.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Maybe, Oh it may be I don't know, maybe he
invented something. So AI is in the leader, Pope is
in the third, Donald Trump is in the fifth spot.
Zo ron monde Oh Mary, Oh, Muldonnie that might be.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I don't think he'll be Person of the Year.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
That's that's a good one to have up there, But
I don't know that he'll he'll get it. Just to
divide anything political, and I know every anytime we have
a new president, they're always time Person of the Year.
That's like the default, it seems like. But anything anyone
else politically affiliated. It seems like they're not going to ever.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, I get it. And again, the Time person of
the Year isn't always because they've done something amazing. Correct
that it can be a bad person, isn't. Hasn't Hitler been?
Was Time person of the Year?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Sounds familiar, I for sure.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I think in thirty eight or thirty nine before the Second.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
War, just goes to whoever kind of is the.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Most significant person or the most newsmaker, the biggest newsmaker
of the year. But this would be the one that
I would feel most comfortable that I know, I know
that these magazines and websites need as much help as possible,
that that would generate the most interest and the most
(10:53):
stories done, that the people would do a story like
I'm doing now that an AI AI, which isn't even
a person, is the person of the year.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
And man, and there is a way to make it
make sense because look, let's face it, they're taking so
many jobs. I heard a new story earlier in John
Shannon's newscast I believe that said that entry level positions
for so many jobs are being taken over by AI,
so it's so much harder for young people to find
new jobs, and so whenever AI is taking the form
of what humans used to do, you could make that
(11:25):
a reason to say that that makes AI human in
a way, even though in my opinion that'll never be
the case. It's still unfortunate to think about.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
All Right, you can go into politics. Government shut down
on January thirty first, Well, the government shut down again.
You can bet on that. Who will Trump meet with
this year? Justin Trudeau or Kim Jong Un?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I think Trudeau? Did Trudeau step down from his position?
I thought he stepped down from where he was in
Canadian Canada's government. I could be wrong about that.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Here's where sports and politics mix. Will Paul Finebaum run
for office this year?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, that was something that was talked about a few
weeks ago. I think didn't they kick him off? Anytime
you're a sports personality, you have a show and you
talk about running for office, that always kick you off
the air.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
So again, Calshi ka l shi. It is gambling. You
can bet, and you could bet a dollar or five
thousand dollars whatever. But this is where it's going to
cross over from not just sports ball. So this is
where where is this going. We always ask that question
(12:36):
in our meetings. Where is this going? So gaming was
passed into commonwealth? What two years ago, we've been surrounded
by every state. We were the donut for a while,
so Indiana, Ohio, everybody had gaming except for us. And
once the majority of the states started to get gaming,
this is where it goes. Well, why are we just
(12:58):
keeping it to sports? Let's bet if the government will
shut down again on the thirty first, right.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Imagine everything, Like peoples are always worried about sports being rigged.
Because of all of this, how many people are going
to worry about, you know, every little thing in life
being rigged because of being able to gamble on virtually
anything you can think of.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Now everything everything like, it's always weird.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Now, when you get to the Super Bowl, you can
bet on the over under on how long the national
anthem will be, what color the gatorade bath will be
at the end of the game. I mean, those are
sports bets, but they're almost it's because it's such a
pop culture event with the Super Bowl. Those are more
fun things to bet on for the average person.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I've been going through this site since last night. I
haven't found it yet, but I'm wondering if they'll do
a deadpool division. What do you mean the deadpool? We
used to do this twenty five years ago in morning
radio where on New Year's the week of New Year's
Eve or New Year's Week, we you know, it's a
boring week. Everyone's off work and there's not a lot
(14:01):
of stories. Everyone's shut down pretty much to get to
the first of the year. So we would make up
a list of the five people we think are going
to die this coming year. Okay, Okay, it's morbid, but
I like it, right, So, you know, Kanye West would
would be Like a couple of years ago, I think
we Dwight and I put together privately a list and
(14:23):
I put Kanye West on there because he had remembered
he'd just he had definitely flown the cuckoo's nest, so
you know, he looked like somebody that would be on
that list. So I haven't found it, but here where
could this? Could someone bet five million dollars that Tony
Venetti was going to die this year and someone come murder.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Me a hit man? That is that is probably the
worst way that any of this could end up. But
it's going to betting on people to die.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yes, because once you start gaming. Cheating is going to happen.
You're seeing it every day sports.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
So can you bet on death right now? In this
CALCI thing? Have you looked at that?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Or I'm trying to find financials economic health?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Uh me?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
You can bet on how many measles cases.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
There are going to be to get people who have
access to some you know, the meesels strain and start
you know, spreading it like wildfire.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
So that's their point when they're pitching this, They're like, look,
so you don't know sports, so what maybe your maybe
your field is health. We have a health division. Bet
on your own bet what you know.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
This is why money is the root of all evil. Really,
this is why.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Uh will will Trump ban lab grown meat? I didn't
even know that was on the document? Neither COVID new
variant of concern reported this year? Of course that would
be a given right.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I feel like every year there's new variant no matter
how you know lethal it is.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Climate. You can bet on how many like hurricanes, stuff
and all that. When will Mount Edna erupt next?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
What where is Mount Edna?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I don't know? All right, So this is a new
website again, I've I joined, I haven't put an you
got to put money in and then you start betting.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Get some bonus bets.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
But I'm thinking about us. I'm thinking about making the
first bed the time. Person of the year is Ai.
I think that is a shoe in. I think that
is a lock.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
If they, I mean, can they really say it's a person?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
That's the whole point. It's like those It's like Rolling
Stones when they put Journey as the top band of
all time, above the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Right,
they did that on purpose, So people go, did you
see those idiots? And at some point, what are you
to argue? We just played a song from a fake
(16:55):
person that has the number one country song. Right now,
what are the This is where we're getting to be
the dumbest society in the world in history. Well, really,
what is a person? Because gender it doesn't even exist
anymore for sure? All Right, So I know my first bet.
(17:19):
Now I'm gonna have to figure out how I deposit money.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Maybe you have to send in your instead of your
driver's license, your marriage certificate.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I amn't hauled about it, and I said, what the hell?
Everybody's got my information anyway? What the hell?
Speaker 3 (17:32):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Carriage Ford? What a great weekend. This past weekend they
collected can goods for give Hope Southern Indiana. So if
you brought in a can good you get a sign
up so one. So if you brought in one hundred
can goods, you got a one hundred times. Your name

prizes plus zero percent down, zero percent interest for five
years on the F one fifties and the Broncos. Hello,
(17:55):

customer appreciate weekend. But there's still the sales are still
going on at carrots Ford and Lewis and Clark Parkway.
You go to Carrotsford dot com and start shopping right now.
Back after this on news Radio eight forty wit.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Is he was eighty three. Oh, I will say John
Shannon came in. All I did was given the artists
and he knew it immediately, of course he did.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
He's a weirdo.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
That's why John Shannon.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Plus he has the Google he is he is.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
He does know a lot of random things Enclopedia.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
That's why Wealth of Knowledge.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Do not allow him to play Crusade for children trivia
because he would help you all out too much.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
He tries to send his answers, but I never see
my phone in time the show's over until after the
segment's over.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Stay with me on this new federal spending bill contains
heavy THHC restrictions. This is a big deal. I don't well,
I figure that you two probably are. I know you're
into it. There's no possibile or not. Hemp was legalized
in twenty eighteen part of the Farm bill. Remember you
(19:11):
all wouldn't remember, but I remember doing stories years ago,
like the University of Kentucky got in big trouble because
they have a farm division, an agricultural class or division,
and they have farms all over Kentucky as part of
the University of Kentucky's class. And they got in trouble
because they had seeds, like seeds came through customs or whatever,
(19:32):
and they got in trouble and they actually charged people
with crimes. And then they finally in twenty eighteen passed
it which created a loophole for THHC to be sold
in low doses in the mainstream to mainstream consumers in
the market. This I assume includes drinks with THCHC in it. Yeah,
(19:56):
and then made these gummies with see in it. The
problem with this is once you uh, you know what
it's like trying to put Genie back in the bottle.
This is a several billion dollar industry. It's raising one
point five billion in tax revenue. So now it's eliminated.
(20:20):
The new federal spending bill has restrictions on these THHC
drinks and gummies and everything else.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Yeah, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
How much of your friends are consuming this stuff?
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Well, I I do enjoy the like the corn bread
they have the corn bread hemp drinks that oh yes,
that have like the low amount of THC in them.
They still also supply like the CBD gummies and all
that stuff, which I imagine they'll still sell. But one
of the things when they just launched this product about
a year ago, they were scared of this specific bill.
(20:51):
They've been trying to lobby for it. Jim Higg didn't,
the guy that's really in good with like you know,
wrote wrote the corn Brad Mafia book and all that.
It's Uh, I've definitely I have and I know a
lot of people that have partaked ever since the launching
of these THC drinks, and they not only just the
corn bread. They've gotten big and smokes like smoke shops
(21:11):
and even when you go to liquor stores there they're everywhere.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Yeah, you go to cocks and smoker outlet, they're everywhere
over in that place.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
And just think about the times or he just walk
into like Dwight's favorite, the don Gar Mart. Right, they
have the they have right, there's one by my house.
It's just called Dongers Mart's not BP uh, so it's
this Donger guy. He's got a real control on the market.
But like they have like the cases with like uh
you know, they have like what do you call like
the Kretom drinks and all the other all of that and.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Like it's an energy drink with THC in Yeah, basically,
So it's what a brilliant idea.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
It's it's fantastic. And these don't get you what they say.
They don't get you drunk. You don't get high.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
You don't get high, you get the good buzz without like.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Very very much.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
It's like like five milligrams of THHC, which I think
was the legal limit before this pass.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
So I don't know. It's sexual people.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Rand Paul our very own ran Paul offered an amendment
to strip the language from the Senate bill, but the
Senate voted overwhelming to table Paul's amendment. Supporters of the
provision in the in the bill argue it's long overdue,
saying the companies have exploited that loophole and taking legal
amounts of THC from hemp and turning it into intoxicating substances.
(22:30):
They are saying over three hundred thousand people, that there
are three hundred thousand jobs connected to this industry. Sure, folks,
that's a lot.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Yeah, I mean because it's actually there's people out there
actually harvesting the hemp plants and putting them and separating
the cannabinoids of stuff that gets you high so you
can actually be legally put in these drinks. It's not
just a machine doing it. It's actual people. I've seen
the process and how it works.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
About how many people it is, like for example, every
every election cycle for some reason in Kentuck, I get
not for some reason, we all know why. But they
always talk about coal jobs. We're gonna say the coal jobs.
There's less than five thousand coal jobs in Kentucky. There's
three hundred thousand people in this industry.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
That's incredible.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah. Yeah, I've always wondered, like, there's the coal industry
just doesn't exist obviously in the terms that it was before,
but five thousand people. There's more waiters in Highlands than
coal miners. In Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
We're supposed to be having medical marijuana legalized here, right,
there's no dispensaries.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
But it's the question of why.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
It's strange. It's like, what is it We're we up
to thirty three states have some sort of legalized marijuana.
Kentucky has medical marijuana. It's been a really really hard
job trying to get it off the ground here and
at some point they will start to distribute, but it
still has it. So I'm wondering why they put this
(23:58):
in here just to be mean gets oar. The genie's
already out of the bottle. Thirty three states have it.
I think a lot of businesses have stopped drug testing
new employees for THC right.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
I know for a fact that I've asked. I have
a friend that went to go apply for what's the
ge they went to go apply for g Yes, he
got the call back and he's not a huge like
partaker line, not a huge smoker. But he had just
got back from California, like a week or two before
he got called and they said, well, you're gonna come
in get a physical and a drug test. And he said,
(24:32):
I'm gonna be real with you.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Man.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
It's good on him for saying it, but he said,
I'm gonna be real with you. I just got back
from California and we had a time, so I'm gonna
have THHG in my system. You know what she said?
She said, Oh, that's fine. We just were not testing
for that. We're testing for others.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Staff. Wow. Okay. I remember in the when in the
early nineteen nineties when President Clinton's administration deregulated radio and
television so you can own more than one radio station
in the town. I remember when we got gotbbled up
by a company called clear Channel, which turned into Dadda iHeart.
They were discussing, and this is when we had twenty
(25:07):
five people working at one radio station or rock station,
and they were talking about that since they're a company
now that they're beginning to this size, that they might
start drug testing. And everyone in radio was just laughing, going,
you won't have any employees, especially at any of the
rock stations that as part of the job, I think.
(25:30):
But this is interesting that they this is happening, that
three hundred thousand jobs are in jeopardy. We're going to
try to get Ram paul on at some point to discuss.
At least he tried to stop it and slow it down,
but they tabled it. But this is very interesting.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
I'm not sure people are surprised that he's the only
Republican that opposed that too.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I'm shocked at I got the damn reading in the years.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Long you're still thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I was locked in eighty three just seeing.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I think Dwight would have helped you today. He would
have helped you get.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
I think White would have probably are you sure.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I said what you say to me?
Speaker 4 (26:04):
We would want if I was here, he would have
been influenced by me. I would have said eighty two,
and just to be nice, because he can't be mean
to me. Just to be nice, He'll be like, well
go with Austin Montgomery.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Fornetti no Vinette would have said, give me the ball.
I'm throwing it. Answer what you.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Say, Give me the ball. I know it's over.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Get the quote right, clear the lane, Give me the ball.
I'm going to the rim, all right, thank you so much,
Thank you, sir. How many days to the wedding?

forty whas
Welcome out number two. We were brought to by the
Kentucky Office of Highway Safety. Dwight is out, John William
more than third is in. I am Tony Venetti and
I signed up last night for call she cal she
cals Calsh is a betting site that's not it's more
(00:23):
culture than betting ka Lshi. Okay, you can bet on things,
you can bet on sports and stuff like that, but
this is a site you can bet like, the first
thing you can bet on under culture is the top
artist on Spotify this year? Will it be Bad Bunny
(00:46):
or Taylor Swift?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Really? So it's just a sports betting for non sports,
like you.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Said, correct, Yeah, it's gambling on culture. Diffultup culture, Bad Bunny.
Ninety five percent of the money is coming in on
Bad Bunny.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
He was.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I think I mentioned this whenever he was announced for this,
you know, to do the Super Bowls. I think it
was last year, maybe the last couple of years he's
been the top artist on Spotify. I guess it's maybe
been Taylor Swift number two.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
That whole controversy. It's just like, this is what America
has come to, where we have to make a controversy
about the damn halftime act at the Super Bowl. I mean, seriously,
can we just go, Okay, you don't like him, let's
move on. I don't know who he is, so I
don't and I get it, and it ties into all
other kind of controversies. I get it. But and we
(01:37):
talked about it earlier a couple of weeks ago. But
but ninety five percent of money I want to go
Taylor Swift at this point, I don't know though, Like,
why not put ten bucks on Taylor Swift?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Is she the underdog in this show?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
And four percent of the money has coming on on
Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
That's wild. And I bet I bet you're seeing an
increase in Bad Bunny listenership because of not only the controversy,
but just the fact that he's going to be in
this super Bowl. People are curious because people know who
he is, and apparently he's popular enough that he's He
was already on top of the Spotify charts before, and
now more people in general are just going to listen
out of curiosity.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Here's why I think this will be more successful than
I'm about to say something. I think that sites like
this and I think DraftKings does this also to a
certain extent. I think this will be more popular than
sports gaming, because, let's just be honest, you really have
to know what you're talking about to try to predict
a football, baseball, basketball game, and then the different levels.
(02:34):
I mean, betting college football is way different than betting
the NFL or greed. Yes, So here's the thing. People
that know a lot about culture, music or the news.
Those people now are in right because those people before
were like, they call it sports ball. Oh don't, I
(02:56):
don't watch sports ball.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Like here's an example. You mentioned music. We just had
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions a week
or so ago, right, I'm sure when the weeks are
so leading up to that, you can bet on who
who's gonna get in, who gets in and who doesn't?
The number You can also bet the number two. Bet
on this is the number one searched person on Google.
Will it be Pope Leo or Beyonca Censori. I'm surprised
(03:20):
it's not Trump, to be honest, no doubt. I guess
people know now. Yeah, all right, so Pope Leo is
only getting forty one percent of the vote here or
the money and I don't even know who Bianca who?
Who is the second person?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
And that Beyonca Censori. I have no idea who that is?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Top Us Netflix Movie of the Week you have to
specify not Netflix in the world because obviously it's a
worldwide platform. Top Us Netflix movie this week either Frankenstein
or k Pop Demon Hunters.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Gosh, and that's been going on for so long now too.
K Pop is still at the top of Netflix.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
The k Pop is just destroyed records like it's just
it's there's so many views of this, it's insane. I
did watch The Frankenstein. I thought it was a little weird.
It's artsy. Does that make sense?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Like they just they take it in a direction that
you wouldn't imagine a Frankenstein movie to go. I guess
yes you're saying.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
And I don't like the Frankenstein the way. I just
didn't like the Frankenstein But they so what the what's
the money? What's the money coming in Frankenstein or k
Pop Demon Hunters for top Netflix movie.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
The I think it's k Pop still.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Ninety two percent of the money is coming in on Frankenstein.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Really, yes, it must have had a really good I
guess I was gonna say opening week, and it's like
we're talking about movie receipts or something like that. Must
have had a good first week on Netflix or camp.
If it's a Frankenstein that come out in Halloween, has
it been out since October?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Uh? What Frankenstein? Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I don't think so it's strange that they would have
released this after the Halloween season.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Right, Okay, explain this to me. It says Game of
the Year, and I go, okay, what is this? College basketball? Football?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Video games, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
It's video games? Claire Obscure Expedition thirty three or Hollow
Night Silk Song.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Wow, I'm familiar with Hollow Night. I've played neither of
those games. I'm more of a retro gamer. When I
do have the time to even sit down and do
something like that nowadays, I couldn't tell you what that
Claire whatever you just said, that was.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Claire Obscure, Obscure Maybe no, a Obscure Expedition thirty three.
I don't know that game, all right, So this one
is this is where everyone can have an opinion about this, Right, So,
if you're not into sportsball, you start to gamble. Will
(05:46):
All I Want for Christmas enter the top ten on
the Billboard Hot one hundred chart for the week of
November twenty second.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
That is a very interesting one, right, That's just so random, because,
especially me being somebody who doesn't frequent Christmas music in general,
no matter what time of the year it is, I
wouldn't really know when that stuff really begins to ramp up.
I know some people will start Christmas music before Halloween
even ends, but I feel like once you kind of
get into the middle of November, you start to see
(06:18):
that transition. To some people, all they do is listen
to Christmas music. So maybe maybe you do see it
inner number.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
All I Want for Christmas is you?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
That's the that's Mariah car Arah Carrey, right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
And that's that's Thanksgiving week. So everyone's ramped up. By
the way, I'm already in Christmas mode. I'm your house decorated.
I pulled the trees out of the garage. I have
three Christmas trees. I pulled them out of the garage.
I got them in the back living room. I'm ready
to I'm ready to start putting things up.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I love I love.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Christmas, and I go over the top inside the house,
over the top.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I'm excited because we won't put up our decorations until
closer to Thanksgiving or right around that weekend. We usually
do two but we're doing brand new decorations this year
for you.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, good for you. And the classic stuff is the
most expensive. Those old school nineteen seventies are classic. Yeah,
those are all like a hip now and it's and
if you actually find some vinted stuff, it's like a
small plastic Santa with one little light bulb in the
bottom of his feet are like one hundred and twenty bucks.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Cy the novelty of it all. Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
So four percent say yes, ninety six percent say no.
It will not be in the top ten of the
Billboard hot one hundred.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I feel like the best way to check that if
you're going to bet, if you're able to go back
and look at the previous years where Mariah Carey's song
gets in the top ten, that might help you out
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Okay, all right, So we are on this website. Calshi
is the name of the website. I signed up yesterday.
You have to have proof of who you are, so
I sent them, am I stupid? I sent them a
picture of my light driver's license.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
That's a little especially if you just found out what
it was a couple of days ago, that might be
a little risky. I don't know if I would have
done it. I can't get to send a picture of
your driver's license. I mean, you don't just type in.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
You don't think that every website in America or doesn't
already know my license number and all that.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I just can't think. And I'm not signed up for
the sports betting apps in a long time, but I
can't remember putting in my driver's license. I do think
I might have put in my social though potentially I
don't know for sure.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
All right, here to tie into our AI conversation, are
you ready, okay? Times Person of the Year twenty twenty five.
AI as a a person of the year, qualifying as
a per leader with a thirty six percent as a whole.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
AI is a person of the year. That's that's you.
That shouldn't even qualify. AI should not qualify as Person
of the Year. We don't need to humanize things that
don't have a soul.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
But understand how Time magazine is in. What business are
they journalist? Are they a business.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
They're a business.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
And if you're a bus business, what will get people
talking about Time magazine more Pope Leo on the cover
or the AI as a Person of the year.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Jesus will not be happy about that.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I'm just saying. I'm just saying, they're a business. So
I right now, this might be the first bet that
I would make.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
AI being Person of the year. Yes, is it the underdog?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
No, it's leading in the clubhouse with thirty seven percent.
Jensen Hung Jensen Hung. I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
If not familiar, I would assume that's a South Korean person.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Maybe, Oh it may be I don't know, maybe he
invented something. So AI is in the leader, Pope is
in the third, Donald Trump is in the fifth spot.
Zo ron monde Oh Mary, Oh, Muldonnie that might be.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I don't think he'll be Person of the Year.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
That's that's a good one to have up there, But
I don't know that he'll he'll get it. Just to
divide anything political, and I know every anytime we have
a new president, they're always time Person of the Year.
That's like the default, it seems like. But anything anyone
else politically affiliated. It seems like they're not going to ever.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, I get it. And again, the Time person of
the Year isn't always because they've done something amazing. Correct
that it can be a bad person, isn't. Hasn't Hitler been?
Was Time person of the Year?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Sounds familiar, I for sure.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I think in thirty eight or thirty nine before the Second.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
War, just goes to whoever kind of is the.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Most significant person or the most newsmaker, the biggest newsmaker
of the year. But this would be the one that
I would feel most comfortable that I know, I know
that these magazines and websites need as much help as possible,
that that would generate the most interest and the most
(10:53):
stories done, that the people would do a story like
I'm doing now that an AI AI, which isn't even
a person, is the person of the year.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
And man, and there is a way to make it
make sense because look, let's face it, they're taking so
many jobs. I heard a new story earlier in John
Shannon's newscast I believe that said that entry level positions
for so many jobs are being taken over by AI,
so it's so much harder for young people to find
new jobs, and so whenever AI is taking the form
of what humans used to do, you could make that
(11:25):
a reason to say that that makes AI human in
a way, even though in my opinion that'll never be
the case. It's still unfortunate to think about.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
All Right, you can go into politics. Government shut down
on January thirty first, Well, the government shut down again.
You can bet on that. Who will Trump meet with
this year? Justin Trudeau or Kim Jong Un?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I think Trudeau? Did Trudeau step down from his position?
I thought he stepped down from where he was in
Canadian Canada's government. I could be wrong about that.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Here's where sports and politics mix. Will Paul Finebaum run
for office this year?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, that was something that was talked about a few
weeks ago. I think didn't they kick him off? Anytime
you're a sports personality, you have a show and you
talk about running for office, that always kick you off
the air.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
So again, Calshi ka l shi. It is gambling. You
can bet, and you could bet a dollar or five
thousand dollars whatever. But this is where it's going to
cross over from not just sports ball. So this is
where where is this going. We always ask that question
(12:36):
in our meetings. Where is this going? So gaming was
passed into commonwealth? What two years ago, we've been surrounded
by every state. We were the donut for a while,
so Indiana, Ohio, everybody had gaming except for us. And
once the majority of the states started to get gaming,
this is where it goes. Well, why are we just
(12:58):
keeping it to sports? Let's bet if the government will
shut down again on the thirty first, right.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Imagine everything, Like peoples are always worried about sports being rigged.
Because of all of this, how many people are going
to worry about, you know, every little thing in life
being rigged because of being able to gamble on virtually
anything you can think of.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Now everything everything like, it's always weird.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Now, when you get to the Super Bowl, you can
bet on the over under on how long the national
anthem will be, what color the gatorade bath will be
at the end of the game. I mean, those are
sports bets, but they're almost it's because it's such a
pop culture event with the Super Bowl. Those are more
fun things to bet on for the average person.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I've been going through this site since last night. I
haven't found it yet, but I'm wondering if they'll do
a deadpool division. What do you mean the deadpool? We
used to do this twenty five years ago in morning
radio where on New Year's the week of New Year's
Eve or New Year's Week, we you know, it's a
boring week. Everyone's off work and there's not a lot
(14:01):
of stories. Everyone's shut down pretty much to get to
the first of the year. So we would make up
a list of the five people we think are going
to die this coming year. Okay, Okay, it's morbid, but
I like it, right, So, you know, Kanye West would
would be Like a couple of years ago, I think
we Dwight and I put together privately a list and
(14:23):
I put Kanye West on there because he had remembered
he'd just he had definitely flown the cuckoo's nest, so
you know, he looked like somebody that would be on
that list. So I haven't found it, but here where
could this? Could someone bet five million dollars that Tony
Venetti was going to die this year and someone come murder.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Me a hit man? That is that is probably the
worst way that any of this could end up. But
it's going to betting on people to die.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yes, because once you start gaming. Cheating is going to happen.
You're seeing it every day sports.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
So can you bet on death right now? In this
CALCI thing? Have you looked at that?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Or I'm trying to find financials economic health?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Uh me?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
You can bet on how many measles cases.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
There are going to be to get people who have
access to some you know, the meesels strain and start
you know, spreading it like wildfire.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
So that's their point when they're pitching this, They're like, look,
so you don't know sports, so what maybe your maybe
your field is health. We have a health division. Bet
on your own bet what you know.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
This is why money is the root of all evil. Really,
this is why.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Uh will will Trump ban lab grown meat? I didn't
even know that was on the document? Neither COVID new
variant of concern reported this year? Of course that would
be a given right.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I feel like every year there's new variant no matter
how you know lethal it is.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Climate. You can bet on how many like hurricanes, stuff
and all that. When will Mount Edna erupt next?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
What where is Mount Edna?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I don't know? All right, So this is a new
website again, I've I joined, I haven't put an you
got to put money in and then you start betting.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Get some bonus bets.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
But I'm thinking about us. I'm thinking about making the
first bed the time. Person of the year is Ai.
I think that is a shoe in. I think that
is a lock.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
If they, I mean, can they really say it's a person?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
That's the whole point. It's like those It's like Rolling
Stones when they put Journey as the top band of
all time, above the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Right,
they did that on purpose, So people go, did you
see those idiots? And at some point, what are you
to argue? We just played a song from a fake
(16:55):
person that has the number one country song. Right now,
what are the This is where we're getting to be
the dumbest society in the world in history. Well, really,
what is a person? Because gender it doesn't even exist
anymore for sure? All Right, So I know my first bet.
(17:19):
Now I'm gonna have to figure out how I deposit money.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Maybe you have to send in your instead of your
driver's license, your marriage certificate.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I amn't hauled about it, and I said, what the hell?
Everybody's got my information anyway? What the hell?
Speaker 3 (17:32):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Carriage Ford? What a great weekend. This past weekend they
collected can goods for give Hope Southern Indiana. So if
you brought in a can good you get a sign
up so one. So if you brought in one hundred
can goods, you got a one hundred times. Your name
went in there one hundred times for these two great
prizes plus zero percent down, zero percent interest for five
years on the F one fifties and the Broncos. Hello,
(17:55):
everything is for sale a carriage forward. It was a
customer appreciate weekend. But there's still the sales are still
going on at carrots Ford and Lewis and Clark Parkway.
You go to Carrotsford dot com and start shopping right now.
Back after this on news Radio eight forty wit.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Is he was eighty three. Oh, I will say John
Shannon came in. All I did was given the artists
and he knew it immediately, of course he did.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
He's a weirdo.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
That's why John Shannon.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Plus he has the Google he is he is.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
He does know a lot of random things Enclopedia.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
That's why Wealth of Knowledge.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Do not allow him to play Crusade for children trivia
because he would help you all out too much.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
He tries to send his answers, but I never see
my phone in time the show's over until after the
segment's over.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Stay with me on this new federal spending bill contains
heavy THHC restrictions. This is a big deal. I don't well,
I figure that you two probably are. I know you're
into it. There's no possibile or not. Hemp was legalized
in twenty eighteen part of the Farm bill. Remember you
(19:11):
all wouldn't remember, but I remember doing stories years ago,
like the University of Kentucky got in big trouble because
they have a farm division, an agricultural class or division,
and they have farms all over Kentucky as part of
the University of Kentucky's class. And they got in trouble
because they had seeds, like seeds came through customs or whatever,
(19:32):
and they got in trouble and they actually charged people
with crimes. And then they finally in twenty eighteen passed
it which created a loophole for THHC to be sold
in low doses in the mainstream to mainstream consumers in
the market. This I assume includes drinks with THCHC in it. Yeah,
(19:56):
and then made these gummies with see in it. The
problem with this is once you uh, you know what
it's like trying to put Genie back in the bottle.
This is a several billion dollar industry. It's raising one
point five billion in tax revenue. So now it's eliminated.
(20:20):
The new federal spending bill has restrictions on these THHC
drinks and gummies and everything else.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Yeah, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
How much of your friends are consuming this stuff?
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Well, I I do enjoy the like the corn bread
they have the corn bread hemp drinks that oh yes,
that have like the low amount of THC in them.
They still also supply like the CBD gummies and all
that stuff, which I imagine they'll still sell. But one
of the things when they just launched this product about
a year ago, they were scared of this specific bill.
(20:51):
They've been trying to lobby for it. Jim Higg didn't,
the guy that's really in good with like you know,
wrote wrote the corn Brad Mafia book and all that.
It's Uh, I've definitely I have and I know a
lot of people that have partaked ever since the launching
of these THC drinks, and they not only just the
corn bread. They've gotten big and smokes like smoke shops
(21:11):
and even when you go to liquor stores there they're everywhere.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Yeah, you go to cocks and smoker outlet, they're everywhere
over in that place.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
And just think about the times or he just walk
into like Dwight's favorite, the don Gar Mart. Right, they
have the they have right, there's one by my house.
It's just called Dongers Mart's not BP uh, so it's
this Donger guy. He's got a real control on the market.
But like they have like the cases with like uh
you know, they have like what do you call like
the Kretom drinks and all the other all of that and.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Like it's an energy drink with THC in Yeah, basically,
So it's what a brilliant idea.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
It's it's fantastic. And these don't get you what they say.
They don't get you drunk. You don't get high.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
You don't get high, you get the good buzz without like.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Very very much.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
It's like like five milligrams of THHC, which I think
was the legal limit before this pass.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
So I don't know. It's sexual people.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Rand Paul our very own ran Paul offered an amendment
to strip the language from the Senate bill, but the
Senate voted overwhelming to table Paul's amendment. Supporters of the
provision in the in the bill argue it's long overdue,
saying the companies have exploited that loophole and taking legal
amounts of THC from hemp and turning it into intoxicating substances.
(22:30):
They are saying over three hundred thousand people, that there
are three hundred thousand jobs connected to this industry. Sure, folks,
that's a lot.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Yeah, I mean because it's actually there's people out there
actually harvesting the hemp plants and putting them and separating
the cannabinoids of stuff that gets you high so you
can actually be legally put in these drinks. It's not
just a machine doing it. It's actual people. I've seen
the process and how it works.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
About how many people it is, like for example, every
every election cycle for some reason in Kentuck, I get
not for some reason, we all know why. But they
always talk about coal jobs. We're gonna say the coal jobs.
There's less than five thousand coal jobs in Kentucky. There's
three hundred thousand people in this industry.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
That's incredible.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah. Yeah, I've always wondered, like, there's the coal industry
just doesn't exist obviously in the terms that it was before,
but five thousand people. There's more waiters in Highlands than
coal miners. In Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
We're supposed to be having medical marijuana legalized here, right,
there's no dispensaries.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
But it's the question of why.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
It's strange. It's like, what is it We're we up
to thirty three states have some sort of legalized marijuana.
Kentucky has medical marijuana. It's been a really really hard
job trying to get it off the ground here and
at some point they will start to distribute, but it
still has it. So I'm wondering why they put this
(23:58):
in here just to be mean gets oar. The genie's
already out of the bottle. Thirty three states have it.
I think a lot of businesses have stopped drug testing
new employees for THC right.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
I know for a fact that I've asked. I have
a friend that went to go apply for what's the
ge they went to go apply for g Yes, he
got the call back and he's not a huge like
partaker line, not a huge smoker. But he had just
got back from California, like a week or two before
he got called and they said, well, you're gonna come
in get a physical and a drug test. And he said,
(24:32):
I'm gonna be real with you.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Man.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
It's good on him for saying it, but he said,
I'm gonna be real with you. I just got back
from California and we had a time, so I'm gonna
have THHG in my system. You know what she said?
She said, Oh, that's fine. We just were not testing
for that. We're testing for others.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Staff. Wow. Okay. I remember in the when in the
early nineteen nineties when President Clinton's administration deregulated radio and
television so you can own more than one radio station
in the town. I remember when we got gotbbled up
by a company called clear Channel, which turned into Dadda iHeart.
They were discussing, and this is when we had twenty
(25:07):
five people working at one radio station or rock station,
and they were talking about that since they're a company
now that they're beginning to this size, that they might
start drug testing. And everyone in radio was just laughing, going,
you won't have any employees, especially at any of the
rock stations that as part of the job, I think.
(25:30):
But this is interesting that they this is happening, that
three hundred thousand jobs are in jeopardy. We're going to
try to get Ram paul on at some point to discuss.
At least he tried to stop it and slow it down,
but they tabled it. But this is very interesting.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
I'm not sure people are surprised that he's the only
Republican that opposed that too.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I'm shocked at I got the damn reading in the years.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Long you're still thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I was locked in eighty three just seeing.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I think Dwight would have helped you today. He would
have helped you get.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
I think White would have probably are you sure.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I said what you say to me?
Speaker 4 (26:04):
We would want if I was here, he would have
been influenced by me. I would have said eighty two,
and just to be nice, because he can't be mean
to me. Just to be nice, He'll be like, well
go with Austin Montgomery.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Fornetti no Vinette would have said, give me the ball.
I'm throwing it. Answer what you.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Say, Give me the ball. I know it's over.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
