Thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Dance Unlimited Dance Team. They won the national title in
South Carolina Myrtle Beach this past weekend. I'm trying to
figure out the name of the team, but I got
a DM and they said the team is made up
of twelve to fifteen year old girls and they absolutely
destroyed it and won the national title. Congratulations, congratulations.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
When they went to your DMS, did they slide into
your DMS?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
So it was the coach. It was the coach. I guess,
isn't that.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I don't know. Why do they say slide into.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Your DM because it's on the DL.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Let's ask John Alden.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I slid it to my wife's DMS whenever I first
interacted with her before she was my wife?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
What is that dms?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Twitter has been around for umpteen years now.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Oh we're getting.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Over Oh so okay, So we watched old stuff and
the newest old stuff we went to is The Apprentice,
The Celebrity Apprentice. Okay, and and it's Trump number one
hit and changed a bit.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
He same dude, same dude, but number two.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
It's really interesting because Twitter people, they were doing things
with Twitter on the show, you know, all right, yeah,
and they were saying things like twitter us at. Sounded
like me trying to have a conversational, makes you twitter
us at the apprentice.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Real quick and we get to the news of the day.
They I remember that CBS Sunday morning when they were
talking about the email and at. They didn't know what
the at means. Yeah, they were like, he was like,
what is the circle when you do a little circle thing?
And they were like, I think that's at or and
all right today, do people yes or no? Do you
(01:58):
think people still care about Amazon Prime Day, which is today, Dwight, Oh, John.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
I think so. I think people my age do.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I think. I went to it yesterday just to kind
of just look through it because I really have not
been interested in it because it weren't it wasn't that
great of deals. But was Sheen and Tamu or Tamu Tamu,
which is the Chinese let's rip off American companies and
sell stuff to Americans for really cheap. I think because
of that, they've lowered their prices. I would encourage you
(02:27):
to go to Amazon Prime Day.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Okay. I got to chase a squirrel because John Alden said, Uh,
I do I think people my age do read an
article where Prime on this prime uh what's it called?
What's the what's the uh sell called Prime Day? Whatever?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Amazon primes on Prime Day Prime Day?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
So there's gonna be specials out there for gen Z's
eighteen to twenty four. Really yeah, and there's gonna be subscriptions.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Let's go to that later final what that is?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Okay? Because it's interesting because there's gonna be special discounts
on subscriptions only available to eighteen twenty four. So what
they're doing is they're trying to train the demo to
get everything you can from Amazon.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, which, yeah, and UPS is laying some folks off
I think twenty thousand worldwide. But I think that my
Amazon might have something to do with that, because they've
been delivering their own stuff, all right. The two women
that were murdered, we mentioned that yesterday, shot by allegedly
a friend the Bradford Farm. He has been charged with
(03:33):
those two. I saw interviews yesterday and again the character
witnesses were like, he's really quiet, never seen him get upset,
But of course that's always the story when there's a shooting.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
All right.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yesterday Jcps, the new superintendent, was at one of the
schools for the summer programs and spoke to the press.
He did finally admit, like we reported weeks ago, that
the budget was one hundred million dollars over, so they
were going to have to fix that. They are going
to cut one hundred million dollars from the budget next
(04:04):
year and fifty million dollars in two years.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
That's two salaries. So that is I gave his I
gave his speech three transgenders.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
All right, So their budget, if you don't know, is
two point two billion dollars. I don't know an objective,
sane person that doesn't deserve an answer to how in
God's name can you not run the school district on
two point two billion? That you went over one hundred million, right,
(04:40):
You certainly don't put it into athletics. That's not where
the black hole is.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
It's not the teacher salaries.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
It's not the teacher's salary.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
At this point that my sister in law is a teacher.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
And the pensions are a separate fund. They have a
teacher's pension fund which I think has twenty billion dollars
in it, so it doesn't go to the it's not pensions.
So I'll give you some comparable city size and their
school budgets. Just I think it's a fair question. And
I didn't get to contact my JCPS person to ask
(05:14):
this question right before the show, but they need to
answer why. Okay, So Indianapolis ours is two point two
billion dollars. How much is Indianapolis school budget for the year, John,
what do you think we're Ours's two point two billion?
Indianapolis is a bigger city.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah, I bet it's. I bet it's not even a
billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Dwight, I would go a billion for Indianapolis.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It's four hundred and seventy two million dollars.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Wow. The only the only city I could get close
to was Nashville. Nashville's one point four billion dollars for
last year. That is almost that's eight hundred million dollars
less than our budget at JCPS, and Nashville is uh.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I would say way larger on Louisville, Kentucky. Okay, So
here's what would be interesting. Here's what be really interesting
in telling a study that shows how much tax dollars
in each city goes to public schooling and then match
it with grades and performance. Because I got to tell you,
JCP is a steaming pile.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Of Okay, let's stay focused here.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Stuff that steams, right, and yet we contribute a budget
larger than the City of Louisville. So it'd be interesting
to see if some of these cities, like Andy, if
they spend I don't know, what was it, four hundred million,
what do they get in return?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Correct?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
And I bet it's way better?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Okay? So I started this search last night. I said,
let's pick a bigger city like Detroit. Okay, I said, what, so,
what's you know? And it's easy enough? AI so so quick,
I said, Detroit City School budget. You used to have
to search for these numbers, and now it's it's coming
up pretty quickly. The technology is good when it works.
(07:07):
The Detroit City School District budget.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
What do you think, John, give me a billion a quarter?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, it's got to be north of a billion.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
So give me a number, because I want to say
I want to see who wins here, he said. One
point twenty five.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
You say, uh, one point two five and one dollar,
like I'm on the price, John wins.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
You both went over. It's one point one billion dollars.
So our budget is double what the Detroit City School
District budget is. Cincinnati's is around six hundred million. So
Cincinnati clearly better schools, bigger city. They are six hundred million.
JCPS is two point two billion. Now, I will talk
(07:51):
to my person later and I will ask him explain
it to me like I'm a five year old. Maybe
there are great reasons why our budget is bigger than
others cities comparable to our size. Maybe there is. I
don't know what that would be, but I hope he
can explain it to me, the new superintendent.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
But explain the grades. Explain two things. Explain the number
of students that are graduating that kill the still can't
read and still can't perform basic math. Well, explain that
first on a budget that's over two billion dollars. And
by the way, I'm graduating in these.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Kids, I'm not even I'm not even I'm not even
going for the grades the grades are. It's such a
hill to climb. You need more parent involvement. And one
in four students in JCPS is an immigrant and how
many speak English?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
So now you how many ladies are getting done?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
How many correct? How many bilingual teachers does JCPS have?
And you move from there. So right now I'm not
even shooting for for good grades right now, it's it's
just like, why why are you one hundred million dollars
over budget and your budget is two point two billion.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I would start with a salary review at the van
Whose Center. I would start with duplicate jobs. Can't you
would start with just can't. I would start with worthless jobs.
You can't were invented from twenty twenty on.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
It can't just be that, okay. So the new superintendent
last night said and this was kind of upset me.
Not upset me, but I said, and so he says, hey,
we have to speaking of the budget shortfall or I'm
sorry over and he said a new superintendent said, we
have to figure this out because the ninety eight thousand
students deserve it. And I was like, and the taxpayers
(09:43):
deserve to know where their money's going. She didn't add
that part.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
At the end, we need to figure this out as
a precursor for next fall, saying ah got to raise
those property taxes. I just wish, uh, I wish I
didn't have to contribute to the delinquency of minors through
my paycheck forcibly. I wish that I could say, you
know what, here's what we're forcing you to spend. Pick
(10:05):
a student. I think the money should follow the student,
not the school.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
And I don't want to do the back in my day,
but at some point, but at some point, the schools
became everything to the kid, feeding them, being involved in
their family, or being involved in their life their entire day.
(10:33):
Like at some point the school district took over parenting
the child. And I think that is a big problem.
School should be you drop them off at school or
the bus picks them up, They go to school, they
learn what they need to do to get to the
next level, and they go home. And now it's just
(10:54):
there's so much, so many different things involved with it.
The lack of parent involvement. This is on you. So
if you're a parent out there and say no, I'm
highly involved, great, there's so few of you. I don't mind,
I don't mind pissing you off. But the others talk
to a teacher and they'll tell you how many how
many parents show up on teacher and what student parent
(11:17):
open house? Open house to or no, just the middle
of the year, how is kids doing the parent teacher
teacher conference parent teacher conferences. They'll say, I don't really
go to mind anymore. The teachers will tell you because
no one. I sit there for two hours, no one
shows up. You got to have parent involvement or this
thing is never going to work.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Well, that's one, that's one of the symptoms. But also
you need to be able to discipline the children, and
that's something that JCPS has removed teachers. You know, I've
told the story hundreds of times. I'll make it one
hundred and one right now. I have a dear friend
of mine. This is a teacher. She got kicked in
the stomach by an eighth grader. She marches the eighth
grader down to the principal's office. First thing the principal
(11:59):
asked was what did you do to provoke this child?
You gotta start whipping asses, You got to start expelling,
you got to start suspending. You can't just let them
run rough shot over the teachers. And by the way,
I have teachers contact me all the time saying this
is going on, that's going on as horrible conditions. You
have a teacher's union that you pay money out of
your paycheck for. What's the union doing for you?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah, I think a teacher's union is a problem. But
you need to give the control of the classroom back
to the teacher. That's what Dwight is trying to say.
Put control of this classroom back into the teachers. When
you gave it to the students to run the asylum.
That is also a problem. There's a lot of things
to fix here, but today's topic is the budget two
(12:44):
point two billion. He was there last night at one
of the schools and talking about finally saying a hundred
because we mentioned it a couple of weeks ago, and said,
we don't know for sure if they are hundred million
dollars over budget, but they are, so they're going to
have to cut that somehow from this new school budget.
And he said he didn't confirm the the bus route
should be fine because they have six hundred bus drivers
(13:04):
ready to go this year. So, by the way, that's
just a couple weeks away from a very high.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Level JCPS employee that I know that will remain nameless.
The DEI department budget alone is over ten million dollars.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I think sometimes we get lost in the numbers, like
it doesn't mean anything but one hundred million dollars over
But think about what one hundred million dollars is. Well,
that is a that is a staggering amount of money,
and you're over budget when I look at one hundred million.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
When I look at government failures like JCPS, what I
look at financially, I look at it like an iceberg,
and we see the tip of the iceberg. This is
what we know about the wasist and spending. What do
we don't know about it? What's under the water that
we don't know? That's what I would love to know.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
On a lighter note, for you to do the joke
of the day News Radio eight forty whas J. D.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
And by the way I saw a clip of what
you were talking about, his voice clearly is not what
it used to be. It was still good, it was good.
It was still good, but it's not what I remember
remember even twenty years ago when he was old what
it was about.

But it was way better than I expected, is what
I was saying.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, because you never know. All right,

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Get this.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
They're going to end the taking off your shoes at
the airport's situation all right for twenty years, by the way,
because one idiot tried to light his shoe on fire
in a plane, we all have taken our shoes off
to walk through the TSA inspection area, which, by the way,
(22:43):
I feel like I'm in Russia or I'm in North
Korea for that twenty five feet I feel like I
have no rights. And you know what you do, not
do what the person tells you to do, or you're
not getting on a plane.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Well, whatever keeps us safe, is what I say that.
I will tell you this the worst and the most
inconvenient part of this.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yeah, it is the shoes.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
It's not the belt, it's not the pockets. It's you
get all your collector all your stuff, and there's a
line behind you wanted to get through, and you're held
up trying to put your shoes on.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Bigfoot could actually be true.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I wonder if they'll they'll start to eliminate some of
these other ones. I know so many people have signed
up to do the TSA. What's the way you're getting
the other line?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Pre check?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I got pre check, we got that. How much does
that cost?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I want to say it was like one hundred and
seventy nine.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Bucks for a year.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
No, that's a lot like four years, or I can't
recall four years, but I could be wrong. Don't quote
me on any of this, Susan hands all that. But
what we want to do is there's also something called
World Entry Port or something. Yes, because every time we
come back from Mexico, you got to go through customs.
Oh yeah, yeah, there's a shorter line. It's like you know,
I guess it's like Disney. All the airports are doing
(24:46):
some kind of a version of a fast Pass for adults.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Right, Yeah, there are sometimes that the TSA PreCheck is
longer than the check the one the regular guy. So
I don't know. I rare I'm saying it now. I'm
gonna get stuck next time I go. I rarely spend
more than ten minutes going through security.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Right, I've been through TSA in ten fifteen years. I
haven't been on a plane in that long.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Really, Yeah, it's really the best way to go if
you've got a family, Hey, you because if you get
into a there's too many. We were coming back from
Disney and there was a we got stuck in. There's
three spots you got to get through Atlanta, Nashville and Chattanooga. Right,
those are the three. If you can get through them,
(25:35):
that's the that's the time. So you say, I always
say five hail Mary's, you know, to get through each
in a timely manner. But there was an upside down
down van and we were stuck in traffic for like
two hours, and they had all their Disney stuff that
was scattered across the expressway, and I said, okay, that's it.
We're flying from now on. Wow, I'm not doing this.
(25:55):
It's safer.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Hey, John, how old is Daisy? Now? How many weeks?
Speaker 3 (25:59):
She'll be three months old in a couple of days.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Hey, it's a perfect time to take that child on
an airplane.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Great, I'm sure I'll make sure I got on the
plane that you're getting.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
No, no, no, but Tony would love to have you sitting
behind him.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I don't mind. I don't mind the kids.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Speaking of planes, a flight scheduled to leave Clearwater St. Pete,
Florida had to be diverted because somebody decided to pretend
that he had a bomb. Fill said on Allegian Airlines
a twenty seven year old Todje.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Taylor, Oh stupid joke.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Tell us the passenger next to him that his laptop
was indeed a bomb. Oh, the guy next to him
didn't see the whimsy. That passenger alerted the fly crew
in the flight had to make a U turn and
go back to the airport to rollan Oak Virginia. It
turns out there was no bomb. There was a lot
of extremely mad passengers that were forced to wait on
(26:53):
the plane so the plane could be recrewed. They can't
just fly back and then that crew has to be
switched out. Here's what I don't understand. Whenever we're traveling
and there's an issue, can't you let some of us
off the plane? Just say hey, if you want to
get out here and wait in the waiting area, yeah
you can. Why do we have to sit on the
plane for three four five hours at a time? Sometimes?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Well sometimes that if you're doing that, you're on you're
in line to take off, So you can't you're not
at the airport where you get off. You're in the
plane and you're in line to take off, and you're
there for an hour and a half and guess what happens?
Sometimes they turn the air off right oh God, and
you're sitting in there for an hour in that heat
waiting and you're like how many time you're counting planes? One, two, three?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
But in this instance, they were at the gate because
they had to come back, get to the gate, get
this guy off the gate, and then they had to
wait on another crew because they had to replace the
crew because of flying hours. Yeah, so why do I
just let all of the people off the plane.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
So yeah, so they ended up taking off though they
got to this was in clear Water or going to clearwater.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
It was going to clear Water from oh yeah, from
rolling out Virginia.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yeah, you were going on vacation. You go to the beach.
Oh that's the worst I.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Could promise you. Everybody on that plane hates you at
this point.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Oh yeah, there's yes, they memorize your face to go
I will hate him forever. You remember the Pacers best
player's name is Halliburton, Yes, Tyrese Haliburton. He went down
in game seven of a series that the entire nation
was cheering for the Pacers. And to back up your
silly little Achilles injury strain.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Uh, it rupts you. It was torn in half.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
They reported. Yesterday. Pacers president Kevin Pritchard said he confirmed
Halliburton will be out for the entire twenty five to
twenty sixth season with this Achilles torn ligament.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
I think Dwight was right about you know how dangerous
it is.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
It's actually worst darn muscle you can pull you.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
That's what they told That's what doctor Solomon told me.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I've seen guys that like Brian Brown when he was
playing for Louisville. He get his foot got stuck in
the turf and he twisted to go out and it exploded.
His entire knee, like every ligam in his knee was gone,
and he was back within I don't know six months, by.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
The way, I heard someone came in with some power
tools last week.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Oh you missed it.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Yes, well, I thank Brett Weatherby for giving me a
fourth of July cast free weekend.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Thank you, Brett Weatherby. Yeah, it was fun. It was
really ridiculous. There was so much cast. If you didn't know,
Dwight had a week to go before he was supposed
to get his cast cut off today and last week
before the weekend, he had a buddy come in with
a saw.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
And had already had the boot. Everything is good. Everything
that's good. Scarlett Johansson is now the highest grossing lead
actor really in the world, no way, according to this article.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Well, she was in Avengers.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Yeah, okay, it's funny, do you say that. So let's
because that was the story that she's now the highest
grossing lead character of all time at fourteen or right
now at fourteen point eight billion, according to this article.
So I said, well, I wonder who the top five is,
and you just mentioned she was in one of these superhero.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah, the Avengers made okay, kazillion dollars.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I think there's only one person who's not in the
superhero business is in this top five.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
And we guess them.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Pratt's in there.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Yeah, Chris Prats.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
No, oh wow, No, Chris iron Man.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Robert Downey Junior, Robert Downey Junior.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
He yeah, he's third, Robert Downey Jr. He was at
the number two spot. Now he's slipped a number three
at fourteen point three billion. He's a superhero guy.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Yeah, you know one's gonna be Tom Cruise.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Right here you go, Tom Cruise with top gun and
then yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
So okay, that was my point. Tom Cruise is the
bottom of the list, but he's the only person that
has he ever been in a superhero movie.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I don't think right, he's not in the Marvel movies
or anything.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Well, no, he's not a superhero, but he's a mission impossible.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
But everybody else on this list is on one of
these superhero deals. So Tom Cruise is the bottom of
the list five with twelve point six billion. This run
the list, Scarlett Johansson fourteen point eight billion, then Samuel
Jackson Samuel L. Jackson fourteen point six EAUs he knows yes, well,
she just knows him out, Robert Downey Junior at fourteen
point three, and then somebody named Zoe Seldonna. Yes, she's
(31:36):
not crucifying that name, or is that she plays in?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
She is the Green Girl, She's Pratt's girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
I'm the Green Girl.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
She's also in the Star Trek movies, but they have
made one in a while.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Was she jealous of everybody that's her superpower? She's in jealousy.
She brought in fourteen point two billion, and then Tom
Cruise rounds out the field at twelve point.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
But I wonder if that's payday or I can't imagine
Tom Cruise doesn't have a share a portion of the
profit deal on top top Gun and mission impossible.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. This is talking how
much money their movies have. Gross.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Oh I'm sorry, yeah, but yet.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
No, if you don't think Tom Cruise gets a back
end deal on everything he is because you remember he
held up top Gun the smartest thing. Yeah. The studio said, no,
let's go ahead and release it. It'll be a pay per
view whatnot. And he goes, absolutely not. This is going
to be seen in theaters. He hangs it on the
shelf until we get back in theaters.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
I watched it again this weekend of this the second one.
It's so good. It's so American. It was for July weekend.
I have like fifty American flags on my house.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Is it just me? Or does the Maverick character remind
you a lot of me? I mean it's sometimes like
when I see him on the screen, I think, is
this a mirror.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
U?
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Super good looking and great at volleyball?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Mavericks inbound. It's the Afterburners.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Southern Cover hot tub. How about a vacation right there
in your own backyard? You got it? Right now is
the best time to get a hot tub. They're rolling
the prices all the way back to the nineteen nineties. Listen,
I'm dead serious. You have not seen prices on hot
tubs this low on the summer sale since the nineteen nineties.
Here's an example. A hot tub for three thousand, nine
(33:30):
hundred and ninety nine dollars. We love our Southern covered
hot tub and you will too. It's a vacation from
all of your problems right there in your own backyard.
Think you can't afford it, think again. Hot tubs as
low as sixty five dollars a month. We used twelve months,
same as cash. It made it a breeze. Seventy five
o' one Preston Highway, Southern covered hot tub. You're gonna
love it all right.
Speaker 1 (33:50):

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Dance Unlimited Dance Team. They won the national title in
South Carolina Myrtle Beach this past weekend. I'm trying to
figure out the name of the team, but I got
a DM and they said the team is made up
of twelve to fifteen year old girls and they absolutely
destroyed it and won the national title. Congratulations, congratulations.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
When they went to your DMS, did they slide into
your DMS?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
So it was the coach. It was the coach. I guess,
isn't that.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I don't know. Why do they say slide into.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Your DM because it's on the DL.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Let's ask John Alden.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I slid it to my wife's DMS whenever I first
interacted with her before she was my wife?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
What is that dms?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Twitter has been around for umpteen years now.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Oh we're getting.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Over Oh so okay, So we watched old stuff and
the newest old stuff we went to is The Apprentice,
The Celebrity Apprentice. Okay, and and it's Trump number one
hit and changed a bit.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
He same dude, same dude, but number two.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
It's really interesting because Twitter people, they were doing things
with Twitter on the show, you know, all right, yeah,
and they were saying things like twitter us at. Sounded
like me trying to have a conversational, makes you twitter
us at the apprentice.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Real quick and we get to the news of the day.
They I remember that CBS Sunday morning when they were
talking about the email and at. They didn't know what
the at means. Yeah, they were like, he was like,
what is the circle when you do a little circle thing?
And they were like, I think that's at or and
all right today, do people yes or no? Do you
(01:58):
think people still care about Amazon Prime Day, which is today, Dwight, Oh, John.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
I think so. I think people my age do.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I think. I went to it yesterday just to kind
of just look through it because I really have not
been interested in it because it weren't it wasn't that
great of deals. But was Sheen and Tamu or Tamu Tamu,
which is the Chinese let's rip off American companies and
sell stuff to Americans for really cheap. I think because
of that, they've lowered their prices. I would encourage you
(02:27):
to go to Amazon Prime Day.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Okay. I got to chase a squirrel because John Alden said, Uh,
I do I think people my age do read an
article where Prime on this prime uh what's it called?
What's the what's the uh sell called Prime Day? Whatever?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Amazon primes on Prime Day Prime Day?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
So there's gonna be specials out there for gen Z's
eighteen to twenty four. Really yeah, and there's gonna be subscriptions.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Let's go to that later final what that is?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Okay? Because it's interesting because there's gonna be special discounts
on subscriptions only available to eighteen twenty four. So what
they're doing is they're trying to train the demo to
get everything you can from Amazon.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, which, yeah, and UPS is laying some folks off
I think twenty thousand worldwide. But I think that my
Amazon might have something to do with that, because they've
been delivering their own stuff, all right. The two women
that were murdered, we mentioned that yesterday, shot by allegedly
a friend the Bradford Farm. He has been charged with
(03:33):
those two. I saw interviews yesterday and again the character
witnesses were like, he's really quiet, never seen him get upset,
But of course that's always the story when there's a shooting.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
All right.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yesterday Jcps, the new superintendent, was at one of the
schools for the summer programs and spoke to the press.
He did finally admit, like we reported weeks ago, that
the budget was one hundred million dollars over, so they
were going to have to fix that. They are going
to cut one hundred million dollars from the budget next
(04:04):
year and fifty million dollars in two years.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
That's two salaries. So that is I gave his I
gave his speech three transgenders.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
All right, So their budget, if you don't know, is
two point two billion dollars. I don't know an objective,
sane person that doesn't deserve an answer to how in
God's name can you not run the school district on
two point two billion? That you went over one hundred million, right,
(04:40):
You certainly don't put it into athletics. That's not where
the black hole is.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
It's not the teacher salaries.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
It's not the teacher's salary.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
At this point that my sister in law is a teacher.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
And the pensions are a separate fund. They have a
teacher's pension fund which I think has twenty billion dollars
in it, so it doesn't go to the it's not pensions.
So I'll give you some comparable city size and their
school budgets. Just I think it's a fair question. And
I didn't get to contact my JCPS person to ask
(05:14):
this question right before the show, but they need to
answer why. Okay, So Indianapolis ours is two point two
billion dollars. How much is Indianapolis school budget for the year, John,
what do you think we're Ours's two point two billion?
Indianapolis is a bigger city.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah, I bet it's. I bet it's not even a
billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Dwight, I would go a billion for Indianapolis.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It's four hundred and seventy two million dollars.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Wow. The only the only city I could get close
to was Nashville. Nashville's one point four billion dollars for
last year. That is almost that's eight hundred million dollars
less than our budget at JCPS, and Nashville is uh.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I would say way larger on Louisville, Kentucky. Okay, So
here's what would be interesting. Here's what be really interesting
in telling a study that shows how much tax dollars
in each city goes to public schooling and then match
it with grades and performance. Because I got to tell you,
JCP is a steaming pile.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Of Okay, let's stay focused here.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Stuff that steams, right, and yet we contribute a budget
larger than the City of Louisville. So it'd be interesting
to see if some of these cities, like Andy, if
they spend I don't know, what was it, four hundred million,
what do they get in return?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Correct?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
And I bet it's way better?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Okay? So I started this search last night. I said,
let's pick a bigger city like Detroit. Okay, I said, what, so,
what's you know? And it's easy enough? AI so so quick,
I said, Detroit City School budget. You used to have
to search for these numbers, and now it's it's coming
up pretty quickly. The technology is good when it works.
(07:07):
The Detroit City School District budget.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
What do you think, John, give me a billion a quarter?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, it's got to be north of a billion.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
So give me a number, because I want to say
I want to see who wins here, he said. One
point twenty five.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
You say, uh, one point two five and one dollar,
like I'm on the price, John wins.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
You both went over. It's one point one billion dollars.
So our budget is double what the Detroit City School
District budget is. Cincinnati's is around six hundred million. So
Cincinnati clearly better schools, bigger city. They are six hundred million.
JCPS is two point two billion. Now, I will talk
(07:51):
to my person later and I will ask him explain
it to me like I'm a five year old. Maybe
there are great reasons why our budget is bigger than
others cities comparable to our size. Maybe there is. I
don't know what that would be, but I hope he
can explain it to me, the new superintendent.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
But explain the grades. Explain two things. Explain the number
of students that are graduating that kill the still can't
read and still can't perform basic math. Well, explain that
first on a budget that's over two billion dollars. And
by the way, I'm graduating in these.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Kids, I'm not even I'm not even I'm not even
going for the grades the grades are. It's such a
hill to climb. You need more parent involvement. And one
in four students in JCPS is an immigrant and how
many speak English?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
So now you how many ladies are getting done?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
How many correct? How many bilingual teachers does JCPS have?
And you move from there. So right now I'm not
even shooting for for good grades right now, it's it's
just like, why why are you one hundred million dollars
over budget and your budget is two point two billion.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I would start with a salary review at the van
Whose Center. I would start with duplicate jobs. Can't you
would start with just can't. I would start with worthless jobs.
You can't were invented from twenty twenty on.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
It can't just be that, okay. So the new superintendent
last night said and this was kind of upset me.
Not upset me, but I said, and so he says, hey,
we have to speaking of the budget shortfall or I'm
sorry over and he said a new superintendent said, we
have to figure this out because the ninety eight thousand
students deserve it. And I was like, and the taxpayers
(09:43):
deserve to know where their money's going. She didn't add
that part.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
At the end, we need to figure this out as
a precursor for next fall, saying ah got to raise
those property taxes. I just wish, uh, I wish I
didn't have to contribute to the delinquency of minors through
my paycheck forcibly. I wish that I could say, you
know what, here's what we're forcing you to spend. Pick
(10:05):
a student. I think the money should follow the student,
not the school.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
And I don't want to do the back in my day,
but at some point, but at some point, the schools
became everything to the kid, feeding them, being involved in
their family, or being involved in their life their entire day.
(10:33):
Like at some point the school district took over parenting
the child. And I think that is a big problem.
School should be you drop them off at school or
the bus picks them up, They go to school, they
learn what they need to do to get to the
next level, and they go home. And now it's just
(10:54):
there's so much, so many different things involved with it.
The lack of parent involvement. This is on you. So
if you're a parent out there and say no, I'm
highly involved, great, there's so few of you. I don't mind,
I don't mind pissing you off. But the others talk
to a teacher and they'll tell you how many how
many parents show up on teacher and what student parent
(11:17):
open house? Open house to or no, just the middle
of the year, how is kids doing the parent teacher
teacher conference parent teacher conferences. They'll say, I don't really
go to mind anymore. The teachers will tell you because
no one. I sit there for two hours, no one
shows up. You got to have parent involvement or this
thing is never going to work.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Well, that's one, that's one of the symptoms. But also
you need to be able to discipline the children, and
that's something that JCPS has removed teachers. You know, I've
told the story hundreds of times. I'll make it one
hundred and one right now. I have a dear friend
of mine. This is a teacher. She got kicked in
the stomach by an eighth grader. She marches the eighth
grader down to the principal's office. First thing the principal
(11:59):
asked was what did you do to provoke this child?
You gotta start whipping asses, You got to start expelling,
you got to start suspending. You can't just let them
run rough shot over the teachers. And by the way,
I have teachers contact me all the time saying this
is going on, that's going on as horrible conditions. You
have a teacher's union that you pay money out of
your paycheck for. What's the union doing for you?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah, I think a teacher's union is a problem. But
you need to give the control of the classroom back
to the teacher. That's what Dwight is trying to say.
Put control of this classroom back into the teachers. When
you gave it to the students to run the asylum.
That is also a problem. There's a lot of things
to fix here, but today's topic is the budget two
(12:44):
point two billion. He was there last night at one
of the schools and talking about finally saying a hundred
because we mentioned it a couple of weeks ago, and said,
we don't know for sure if they are hundred million
dollars over budget, but they are, so they're going to
have to cut that somehow from this new school budget.
And he said he didn't confirm the the bus route
should be fine because they have six hundred bus drivers
(13:04):
ready to go this year. So, by the way, that's
just a couple weeks away from a very high.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Level JCPS employee that I know that will remain nameless.
The DEI department budget alone is over ten million dollars.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I think sometimes we get lost in the numbers, like
it doesn't mean anything but one hundred million dollars over
But think about what one hundred million dollars is. Well,
that is a that is a staggering amount of money,
and you're over budget when I look at one hundred million.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
When I look at government failures like JCPS, what I
look at financially, I look at it like an iceberg,
and we see the tip of the iceberg. This is

News Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Ozzie Nick Coffee was talking about Ozzie this was Yeah,
I didn't know that that was a Nick Coffee kind
of topic.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
I think you knew that you were coming into the
studio and I look for you.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah, he said, because Axel Rose met with Ozzie for
the first time.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
First time. Yeah, Ozzie said that he was a gentleman.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
And by the way I saw a clip of what
you were talking about, his voice clearly is not what
it used to be. It was still good, it was good.
It was still good, but it's not what I remember
remember even twenty years ago when he was old what
it was about.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
But it was way better than I expected, is what
I was saying.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, because you never know. All right,
big news from the.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
TSA skinny pop thank you.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
That will be all When Dwight eats it, it becomes
a fatty post. That's not TSA.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Get this.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
They're going to end the taking off your shoes at
the airport's situation all right for twenty years, by the way,
because one idiot tried to light his shoe on fire
in a plane, we all have taken our shoes off
to walk through the TSA inspection area, which, by the way,
(22:43):
I feel like I'm in Russia or I'm in North
Korea for that twenty five feet I feel like I
have no rights. And you know what you do, not
do what the person tells you to do, or you're
not getting on a plane.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Well, whatever keeps us safe, is what I say that.
I will tell you this the worst and the most
inconvenient part of this.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yeah, it is the shoes.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
It's not the belt, it's not the pockets. It's you
get all your collector all your stuff, and there's a
line behind you wanted to get through, and you're held
up trying to put your shoes on.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, so I'm glad and uh And we did a
story about how much I guess radiation, the one where
you hold your hands up and he goes while you're
in that little tube and then you walk out, which
I don't know, John, you know me. I like my
medium shirts.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
You do like your sed you're yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
You can see? Yes, so they're very tight, all right.
And I even have been stopped several times of we're
gonna expect to what's back here on the shoulder, and
I was like, it's called muscle. It's not anything else
but muscle. But they you have to strip down.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Hey, uh, yes, this is John Alden.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Dwight Whitten.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
What's the difference between his story there about the muscle
and Bigfoot?
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I don't not, Dwight, what is the difference?
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Bigfoot could actually be true.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I wonder if they'll they'll start to eliminate some of
these other ones. I know so many people have signed
up to do the TSA. What's the way you're getting
the other line?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Pre check?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I got pre check, we got that. How much does
that cost?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I want to say it was like one hundred and
seventy nine.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Bucks for a year.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
No, that's a lot like four years, or I can't
recall four years, but I could be wrong. Don't quote
me on any of this, Susan hands all that. But
what we want to do is there's also something called
World Entry Port or something. Yes, because every time we
come back from Mexico, you got to go through customs.
Oh yeah, yeah, there's a shorter line. It's like you know,
I guess it's like Disney. All the airports are doing
(24:46):
some kind of a version of a fast Pass for adults.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Right, Yeah, there are sometimes that the TSA PreCheck is
longer than the check the one the regular guy. So
I don't know. I rare I'm saying it now. I'm
gonna get stuck next time I go. I rarely spend
more than ten minutes going through security.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Right, I've been through TSA in ten fifteen years. I
haven't been on a plane in that long.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Really, Yeah, it's really the best way to go if
you've got a family, Hey, you because if you get
into a there's too many. We were coming back from
Disney and there was a we got stuck in. There's
three spots you got to get through Atlanta, Nashville and Chattanooga. Right,
those are the three. If you can get through them,
(25:35):
that's the that's the time. So you say, I always
say five hail Mary's, you know, to get through each
in a timely manner. But there was an upside down
down van and we were stuck in traffic for like
two hours, and they had all their Disney stuff that
was scattered across the expressway, and I said, okay, that's it.
We're flying from now on. Wow, I'm not doing this.
(25:55):
It's safer.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Hey, John, how old is Daisy? Now? How many weeks?
Speaker 3 (25:59):
She'll be three months old in a couple of days.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Hey, it's a perfect time to take that child on
an airplane.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Great, I'm sure I'll make sure I got on the
plane that you're getting.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
No, no, no, but Tony would love to have you sitting
behind him.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I don't mind. I don't mind the kids.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Speaking of planes, a flight scheduled to leave Clearwater St. Pete,
Florida had to be diverted because somebody decided to pretend
that he had a bomb. Fill said on Allegian Airlines
a twenty seven year old Todje.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Taylor, Oh stupid joke.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Tell us the passenger next to him that his laptop
was indeed a bomb. Oh, the guy next to him
didn't see the whimsy. That passenger alerted the fly crew
in the flight had to make a U turn and
go back to the airport to rollan Oak Virginia. It
turns out there was no bomb. There was a lot
of extremely mad passengers that were forced to wait on
(26:53):
the plane so the plane could be recrewed. They can't
just fly back and then that crew has to be
switched out. Here's what I don't understand. Whenever we're traveling
and there's an issue, can't you let some of us
off the plane? Just say hey, if you want to
get out here and wait in the waiting area, yeah
you can. Why do we have to sit on the
plane for three four five hours at a time? Sometimes?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Well sometimes that if you're doing that, you're on you're
in line to take off, So you can't you're not
at the airport where you get off. You're in the
plane and you're in line to take off, and you're
there for an hour and a half and guess what happens?
Sometimes they turn the air off right oh God, and
you're sitting in there for an hour in that heat
waiting and you're like how many time you're counting planes? One, two, three?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
But in this instance, they were at the gate because
they had to come back, get to the gate, get
this guy off the gate, and then they had to
wait on another crew because they had to replace the
crew because of flying hours. Yeah, so why do I
just let all of the people off the plane.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
So yeah, so they ended up taking off though they
got to this was in clear Water or going to clearwater.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
It was going to clear Water from oh yeah, from
rolling out Virginia.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yeah, you were going on vacation. You go to the beach.
Oh that's the worst I.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Could promise you. Everybody on that plane hates you at
this point.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Oh yeah, there's yes, they memorize your face to go
I will hate him forever. You remember the Pacers best
player's name is Halliburton, Yes, Tyrese Haliburton. He went down
in game seven of a series that the entire nation
was cheering for the Pacers. And to back up your
silly little Achilles injury strain.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Uh, it rupts you. It was torn in half.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
They reported. Yesterday. Pacers president Kevin Pritchard said he confirmed
Halliburton will be out for the entire twenty five to
twenty sixth season with this Achilles torn ligament.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
I think Dwight was right about you know how dangerous
it is.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
It's actually worst darn muscle you can pull you.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
That's what they told That's what doctor Solomon told me.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I've seen guys that like Brian Brown when he was
playing for Louisville. He get his foot got stuck in
the turf and he twisted to go out and it exploded.
His entire knee, like every ligam in his knee was gone,
and he was back within I don't know six months, by.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
The way, I heard someone came in with some power
tools last week.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Oh you missed it.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Yes, well, I thank Brett Weatherby for giving me a
fourth of July cast free weekend.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Thank you, Brett Weatherby. Yeah, it was fun. It was
really ridiculous. There was so much cast. If you didn't know,
Dwight had a week to go before he was supposed
to get his cast cut off today and last week
before the weekend, he had a buddy come in with
a saw.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
And had already had the boot. Everything is good. Everything
that's good. Scarlett Johansson is now the highest grossing lead
actor really in the world, no way, according to this article.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Well, she was in Avengers.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Yeah, okay, it's funny, do you say that. So let's
because that was the story that she's now the highest
grossing lead character of all time at fourteen or right
now at fourteen point eight billion, according to this article.
So I said, well, I wonder who the top five is,
and you just mentioned she was in one of these superhero.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah, the Avengers made okay, kazillion dollars.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I think there's only one person who's not in the
superhero business is in this top five.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
And we guess them.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Pratt's in there.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Yeah, Chris Prats.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
No, oh wow, No, Chris iron Man.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Robert Downey Junior, Robert Downey Junior.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
He yeah, he's third, Robert Downey Jr. He was at
the number two spot. Now he's slipped a number three
at fourteen point three billion. He's a superhero guy.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Yeah, you know one's gonna be Tom Cruise.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Right here you go, Tom Cruise with top gun and
then yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
So okay, that was my point. Tom Cruise is the
bottom of the list, but he's the only person that
has he ever been in a superhero movie.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I don't think right, he's not in the Marvel movies
or anything.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Well, no, he's not a superhero, but he's a mission impossible.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
But everybody else on this list is on one of
these superhero deals. So Tom Cruise is the bottom of
the list five with twelve point six billion. This run
the list, Scarlett Johansson fourteen point eight billion, then Samuel
Jackson Samuel L. Jackson fourteen point six EAUs he knows yes, well,
she just knows him out, Robert Downey Junior at fourteen
point three, and then somebody named Zoe Seldonna. Yes, she's
(31:36):
not crucifying that name, or is that she plays in?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
She is the Green Girl, She's Pratt's girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
I'm the Green Girl.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
She's also in the Star Trek movies, but they have
made one in a while.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Was she jealous of everybody that's her superpower? She's in jealousy.
She brought in fourteen point two billion, and then Tom
Cruise rounds out the field at twelve point.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
But I wonder if that's payday or I can't imagine
Tom Cruise doesn't have a share a portion of the
profit deal on top top Gun and mission impossible.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. This is talking how
much money their movies have. Gross.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Oh I'm sorry, yeah, but yet.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
No, if you don't think Tom Cruise gets a back
end deal on everything he is because you remember he
held up top Gun the smartest thing. Yeah. The studio said, no,
let's go ahead and release it. It'll be a pay per
view whatnot. And he goes, absolutely not. This is going
to be seen in theaters. He hangs it on the
shelf until we get back in theaters.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
I watched it again this weekend of this the second one.
It's so good. It's so American. It was for July weekend.
I have like fifty American flags on my house.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Is it just me? Or does the Maverick character remind
you a lot of me? I mean it's sometimes like
when I see him on the screen, I think, is
this a mirror.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
