Speaker 1 (00:00):
By a guy in a hoodie with a backpack and
it with a gun with a silencer. I mean it
looked like some sort of TNT movie who somehow left
messages on the bullet casings. Do what see? That's the
other thing I'm not That's the other thing I'm not
following because people were like hanging on I'm punching in
(00:20):
my evidence.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
At the scene of CEO Brian Thompson's murders show the
words deny, depose, and defend written on live rounds and
the casings left behind. Oh so deny, okpose, defend.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Okay, So everyone's talking about this because it really is.
It's an incredible story, and the insurance is on top
of everybody's mind, and United Healthcare has probably has a
sketchy little uh past in what they've been doing. And again,
(01:00):
people have been denied. So one of the bullet casing
says denied, YEP, denied.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Proceed, denied, depose, defend. You're right, somebody could have been
denied now they want them to pay for it.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
It could be shareholders.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
It could be someone who lost their wife to cancer
because treatment was denied.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
It could be all sorts of things. There have been
stories lately that some of these insurance companies have hired
separate companies to go in and just help them deny procedures. Yeah,
they spend money to not spend money on you. Correct. Now,
my situation I from personally. I have United and you
(01:42):
were denied, and I was denied on the table and
the doctor looked at me and said, Nope, we're going
to go with this because you might die. So eventually
six weeks later they were like, now we see all
the paperwork. Now you're good, We're going to cover it.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Sometimes there isn't time for the paperwork and a lot
of thought.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
So right, correct? And there are there's a post that
I'm trying to find out or not, but it says
that United has claim denial rates by insurance companies and
United is the highest by far, not by number but percentage.
(02:21):
If you're asking, going, well they're the biggest, Well it's
percentage wise thirty two percent. That's one in one in three,
right that are they're saying.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
So that they're essentially saying that a third of our
claims are fraudulent and they're going to deny them.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Right or no, you don't need it, not fraudulent but yeah,
you don't need that, You'll be fine. Insurance companies for
one hundred years only want to and it doesn't matter
what insurance, car health. They only want to ensure the
healthy or the good drivers. Isn't that why I have you? Yeah?
And they drop you. That's the crazy thing, is I
(02:57):
I mean, yeah, you use them and they say bye bye. Yeah? Yeah.
I remember my grandfather being just incredibly pissed off. He
had had a wreck in like literally forty years and
he had a vendor bender. The other person's fault. They
dropped him. You had an accident at your age because
he was older. Now you had an accent your age.
It's policy bye, He's like what now?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
The people that were against Obamacare, now keep in mind
the Republicans have offered nothing new and nothing else. So
that's what we have. But they said it was going
to head in this direction. The more people that are supplemented,
the more coverage is going to be denied to others.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
And that's kind of what's happening. I think. And there's greed.
It's more it's greed, and it's really complicated. But it
shouldn't be. I mean, it really shouldn't be. I don't
know why something is a price, But if you have insurance,
it's another price.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
If you get the scan done at the hospital, that's
thirty eight hundred dollars. If you go to a private
MRI place, it's eighteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yes, but the same procedure like mine was seventy eight
thousand dollars or something. But if I didn't have insurance,
it was like twenty four. And I'm like, well, wait
a minute, shouldn't it just be one price? Well, no, no,
if you have insurance, we're going to get our money
from the insurance company. But if it's just you, I
had twenty four, Yeah, we'll call it twenty four. If
(04:16):
it's just you, How does that work? I don't get that.
I don't understand that. Why don't we know dentists have
it down. You know the price of the procedure before.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
You have the procedure, and they cap your insurance at
fifteen hundred bucks?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
What a scam? That is? Absolutely Yeah. I bought the
hospitalization on United and I thought, well, that's extra coverage.
It's eleven hundred bucks, So I'm okay. I think it's
like twenty bucks a month. And I was like, I'll
get this hospitalization just in case it came in handy
for this one. Sure it's one thousand dollars I can
get that helps out. But so this story I don't
(04:51):
think is going away, Dave. I think it's insurance. It's
United the biggest insurer in health insurance in the country.
He's a fifty year old CEO. He was going to
talk to the shareholders. I mean, this looks like a
TV movie. It's crazy, and people celebrating his death. Shame
(05:12):
on you, Like, what's wrong with you? He was the
face of the company.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Somebody has a problem with the company, or it was
a lover, you know, who knows. It could be anything
at this point, but in all likelihood deposed, denied, defend,
that's that's.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Not a lover anytime. Insurance. And unless he's dating a lawyer.
If you're talking about insurance and he says denied, that
says somebody was denied and they died right like that
possibility were going down that rabbit hole.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And you picture this call center with like high fives denied,
whoa he denied, another one saved eighty thousand dollars high
five in each other.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Meanwhile, somebody's dying. What was that Tom Cruise movie that
took place in Memphis? Was it Tom Cruise? And in
the where they got one of the books where they
train the person this is how you deny, confuse them
until they give up, because that was the point, was
that the firm, it might be the firm where he
(06:09):
it was they got the book and they were like,
they want you to go away.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
They want you to be bothered, so they want you
to throw your hands up in the air and stop trying.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
If they say this, say this, like they train the
people on the phone to make them miserable, the other
person miserable, and they just give up. They're like, man,
I tried for three days a call and I just
couldn't get nowhere.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I did that with one of the big box stores
and they're installers. It took about twenty phone calls. Yeah,
I ended up getting everything fixed, appliance and cash.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
It's by design. And by the way, I finally watched
the Joan Bennet Ramsey Oh story the three episodes. I
feel it's the brother, isn't it. I don't know. I
think people were saying that, but it's like, I feel
sorry for this family. Now, because I was one of
those people. I was told by the media that this
(07:00):
dude killed his daughter in some crazy sex thing.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Why is there a ransom note mentioning his exact bonus
in her handwriting.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
If it's not someone in the house, if it was
random contractor hiding in the basement, that note doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
A couple of I agree, But a couple things jump
out at me. One that was the only murder in Boulder,
Colorado that year. Mm hmm. That don't tell me things
haven't changed. It was the only murder in Boulder, Colorado
that year, just outside of Denver. Really, what, like, here's
(07:38):
part of the issue. The people work in the case. Well,
they hadn't worked a case all year. They're sitting around
drinking coffee, and I wonder if somebody's going to get
stupid and murder somebody. They hadn't worked a case in
a town with one murder the sire of Boulder. Wasn't
there a mass shooting and Boulder this year? I think? So?
(08:00):
I don't know, Man, there's a mass shooting every other Tuesday, Boulder.
Isn't that where you see is that's where.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, University of Colorado, that's where prime Time is hanging out.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
You'd be surprised how hard it is getting in Colorado. Dude,
your kid didn't getting into Colorado. If they do, go
and I'm it's so affordable too, but it's pretty I
see where I see where the two the couple Jamada
or John and his wife Patsy Patsy? Are they both
dead now? No, she is. He's still alive.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Didn't he end up dating Natalie Holloway's mother?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Oh? I don't know. He's a goof, like he's a
rich goof. But I can see where awkward people will
come off like they're looking guilty, awkward, like you know
people that are awkward in social situations. They look like
two nerdy type people and they were awkward in how
to explain things. Not some people can't explain things. Well,
(08:55):
you're just like, oh my god, you've been talking for
three minutes. What are you talking about? That kind of person,
And I think that's what got away from him. And
once the FBI, once the people in Boulder, once they
locked in on the parents like they did it, they
were ignoring everything else. And then here comes right in
from He literally rides in on a horse from Texas,
(09:16):
the most famous murder investigator, they called him Sherlock Holmes
of Texas. He rolls into this You gotta watch this shavie.
He goeta, No, it's not Jesse Lou something lou is
his name, old dude, He's worked one hundred and fifty
murder cases, solved them all, all this kind of stuff.
He rides in and goes, what are you doing? And
(09:36):
he solves it me. He says, look, these are taser
marks on her body, and the great was lifted and
then that's how you get in the window. The guy
got in the window.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
It wasn't the parents, dude, So why the ransom note?
But his bonus?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Did you see the end of the did you watch it?
I haven't watched it. Oh, so how do you explain?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Okay, wait, some rando comes in and kills my daughter,
So I'm going to write a ransom note. Unless the
parents were convinced it was the bokay, and they're trying
to protect you, I'll.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Explain it to you. But it wasn't. Okay, explain it
to you. This dude says, it was me. I did it?
Explains how he did it, And there was also another
little girl from her dance class a year and a
half later, where the mom caught him in the room
with the girl and she was in the same dance
(10:30):
classes as as Jean Benay. Her parents didn't do it.
They caused it because they dressed her up like a
little hooker and put her, their six year old, on stage.
And these little pedophiles went to the deal and they
watched it like weirdos, and they pinpointed her. So that
guy says, I that he goes. They went. They left
(10:51):
it five and came back at ten. He goes. I
got in right after they left. I was bored. I
was walking around. I saw that there was one hundred
and eighteen thousand eyes. I wrote the letter.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
How did he know about the bonus? Just it was
laying around or something.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
It was on his desk because they were sitting there
on his desk. Is this guy in jail? No. So
the problem with the DNA on the underwear was that
you couldn't figure out what the DNA was, but you
could see if it matched somebody. It didn't match his,
But that doesn't mean anything because it doesn't match anybody's right.
So the science is wrong. But he's like, it's me
(11:27):
and described everything. Now.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Sometimes people will learn a lot about a case and
for attention claim they did it correct.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Are you believing him? No, I'd believe that that guy
did it. Yes, And that guy now is overseas. They
found him overseas. What was he doing? Elementary school teacher? Oh? Boy?
So But the Lou guy, the Texas dude that came
in cowboy hat, I'm Lou. This is what I do.
I'm gonna fix it all right now? Baby? He figured.
(11:55):
He was like, why would a parent need a taser
to get their child to the basement. It's a good
point and the whole She went her bed and mom
was upset. There's no stains, there's nothing on that bed.
There's nothing on that bed.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
How could the DNA not match him?
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Because the DNA doesn't match anybody. Dude. You got to
watch the John Bona Ramsey special on Netflix. It's only
three episodes, it's an hour each and it's fascinating. I
got Jackie sucked into it late last night. She was
just like, damn it, I didn't want to watch this
and now I'm stucked.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
But did you watch TV?
Speaker 1 (12:26):
It's like David, take fifty cents out, thank you. So
watch the jomin a thing. Okay, So now that I
know how it ends, you watch it anyway. Man. You
know how Titanic ended, and you watch that. That's true.
You watched World War two movies. You know how that ended.
Good point. Okay. So the top story, there's no question.
(12:49):
Top story is this United Healthcare CEO being gunned down.
That story is not going anywhere, and I wouldn't doubt
if that thing ends up on some Netflix series a
couple of years from now. Is there's something there all right? Lastly,
before we go to break and get the joke of
the day, John has our joke of the day again.
He's sitting in for Dwight. He didn't do too bad yesterday. No,
it was pretty good. Yeah. Louisville Sports Commission turned twenty
(13:12):
five December nineteen ninety nine. I know you and I
discussed many times in its infancy of whether this was
a good idea or a wasteful spending money from the government,
And it turned out it really no, it was a
great It was a home run.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
When I was in college, I interned at the Florida
State Office of Sports Promotion, yeah, it helps to organize
activities like this and bring conventions millions and millions of
dollars or.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
As of it paid for itself over by one hundred times.
If you look at the top fifteen events that bring
money to the city, number one is the Derby, and
then the rest of them are all Louisville Sports Commission events,
volleyball tournaments, the largest volleyball tournament in the country, the
(13:59):
largest men's basketball tournament, high school basketball.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Team across country thing over at Tom Sawyer.

money they bring in louisll Sports Commission. Of course, Carl
Schmidt is our favorite. He was in charge of it forever. Uh,
somebody's somebody's wife was the first one. What was the
(14:27):
Philadelphia Was it a baseball player? Wasn't Bill Cox? Or
Oh do you know McGrath, Chuck McGrath, Yes, Chuck McGrath,
McGrath's mom, No, no, no way.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Ali McGrath, No stop McGrath, the crime dogs, Allie McGrath.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
I think Tim Tim McGraw's mom was probably about three
ex wives.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Before the last time Tu McGraw had gotcha. She did
a pretty good job. And then she bolted back to
Philly I think is where she was from. Uh. And
then Carl took over and just kicked ass. But Louisville
Sports Commission, congratulations, twenty five years of success. And that
is a government program that paid for itself ten times over,
ten times over. There are a hands of good job.
(15:17):
So good job. All right, let's do the joke desire
Johnny from the news. You did okay yesterday, so let's
get back. I definitely need the immunity music today.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Oh boy, but hey, I found out yesterday I have
a fan of my jokes.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
All you do, I do us. Ah. She said, no more, Johnny,
which actually means tell more jokes. I know what, I
know what she was saying, guy guy to the hot girl.
She said no. That means I got it.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Chase, Hey Fellas, Hey, hey Johnna may So.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
A couple hunters are out in the woods in East
Kentucky doing some deer hunting.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Yeah, that's what they told their wives.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Right, you're on it today. Dollar out broke back. He doesn't.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
So one of them starts acting funny, gets dizzy, collapses,
doesn't seem to be breathing. The other hunter sorry, pulls,
pulls out his cell phone, calls nine one one and says, hey,
my hunting buddy here, just he fell over. He's not breathing.
I think he's dead. The nine one one operator says, Okay,
before we send anybody out, first go back over and
make sure he's actually dead. Puts down his phone. You
(16:20):
can hear his footsteps. Go over there, and all of
a sudden a gunshot. Oh no, Hunter comes back to
the phone, says, okay, he's dead.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
What do I do.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Now, that's a classic.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
That's pretty good. All right, good job, Johnny. That's a
joke of the day. December fifth, twenty twenty four. Back
after this on news Radio eight forty wh hance.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Is Elo No sounds like it is traveling Wheelberry's Oh
it got the Jeff Lynn drum sound from Elo, that
same kind of beat. It's all over free falling from
Tom Petty.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, I don't. I never got into the treveling Wilbur's.
I like a few of the songs, but it I
like it for them because they were like, hey, let's
get I like all you all, let's play some music.
That's the deal. Joe Burrow, it's a unique guy, transfers
(17:18):
from Ohio State to LSU, becomes this legend where he
basically is the quarterback of the best college football team
probably of all time. They went fifteen to oh and
beat more Top ten opponents than any other team in history.
That's why I say they're probably the best. And a
lot of the games weren't close. They weren't even close,
(17:38):
including the National Championship. And basically everybody off that offense
and defense went to the NFL and actually played, so
that's why I call it. So then he gets drafted
by the Cincinnati Bengals. We all went, well, that's it
for him.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
And then on draft night he's sitting in his living room.
It's like American Gothic but sitting down. Yeah, and they
have panel and I think plastic seat covers.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yes, well it's it's none of the you know, and people,
of course the internet is is insufferable, so you know,
they everyone made fun of his He's in a he's
in northern Ohio, in a poor area of Ohio, and
none of the furniture matches, and it's just him and
his two parents. There's no girlfriend, right, American family. So
(18:23):
then he gets to but then he gets drafted by
the Bengals. They all knew that was going to happen,
and we all went, well, that's the end of Joe
Burrow because that's where quarterbacks go to die. And he
gets him into the super Bowl his second year or
third year, whatever it was.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
One year was lost to injury. So that's one of those.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
It's the next year. I think the next year he
got him to the super Bowl, and you're like wow,
and then this year he gets the big contract. Right,
what happens. He frosts his hair like he's John Boll
I know, it's like, what are you doing, dude, It's
Frosty the ball Man and he's showing up in all
these weird outfits and it's like, first of all, the frosted.
(19:00):
He can't do that, dude, And then you're doing crazy.
If you heard what he did with he bought a batmobile,
No he didn't. Two point nine million dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Remember your roots, the frosted and the dollar round and
the family. I mean, that's just multi multi level.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I got it. It's layered. You're still smart. Tennis miller
Joe Burrell dropped two point nine million dollars on a batmobile.
There were only ten created. Okay, so this isn't the
one that was in the movie. This is some company
said we'll make this. It'll be just like the one
(19:41):
in the movie, except for the machine guns.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Does he have a layer.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
He wanted to? In the quote, he was like, I
felt like I wanted to dress up like Batman as
I walked into every game this year and people were like,
you can't do that. Stop. Okay he could.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
He could pull that off, Batman, but you have to
be winning. If you're not winning a ton of games,
don't be Batman.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Look weird. Only ten were created, made available as an
exclusive audience of avid car collectors, so you had to
be on a list, so you they were sold before
they were made. So the wopping two point nine million dollars.
The newest addition to this collection is the powertrain. I
don't understand all this five hundred and twenty five horsepower engine.
(20:28):
That means it's fast, four hundred and eighty six feet
or something pounds of torque. I guess that works a
jet engine simulation, a smoke screen delivery system, and imitation
gun turrens surrets. I mean you gotta see it. Just
(20:49):
google Joe Burrow's jack barrow and you'll go, oh my god,
you can drive that. He can drive it to Applebee's.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
So it's street legal.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Yeah, yeah, but it's a three million dollar car.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Where do you park it and walk away from Joe?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
You know you're not playing football for the whole for
the rest of your life, right, for the rest of
your career, like you could end tomorrow. What are you doing?
And he'd sell it for four million.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Probably takes money to make money, Tony.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Does it? Let me write that down, put it on.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
A plate, you know, sell it to the Franklin Mint.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
And speaking of making money, So I'm a purger. I
like to go through the house and I'm like, get
rid of it. We're not going to mostly tell the truth.
It's perjury, but I like the leap and you're gonna
put fifty cents in. Yes, I'm sorry. We got to
go the other direction on some of these, and that
was too thin of a line to do. Perjury for purging.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Okay, if it was I've seen your garage, I think
you are lying.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
If it was an interactent, Joe, no, how does it
fill up again? My garage is like the junk drawer.
I just cleaned it out. How is it filled with
little nickknacks of crap again?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Because other rooms become clean and the stuff from those rooms.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Find its way to the garage. Some little Harry Potter
craphead just walks in my kitchen and waves a little
wand and I like alaka, and then the thing fills up.
Uh So I get rid of my stuff. But the
people that don't, you're like, do you still have your
g I Joe toy?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I wish I had mine, because I had a talking
g I Joe full sized where you pulled it.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
There's trouble at the water hole, yeah, you know all
that kind of stuff. The water holes always it's always
trouble because there's snakes. There's always trouble around the water.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I mean, you've been walking in the desert without like that.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Gear, stay away from holes in general.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
You find the water hole and then the snake get you, yes,
hence hence the reference to trouble.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
The insures of Home protect have been scared houring sites
like e Bay, which I didn't even know was still
on eBay to find out what classic toys from the
eighties nineties and two thousands are bringing in the highest
amount of cash so they can set. They can set
like okay, you know if you have to file for
insurance and somebody stole it and figure it out. One
(23:18):
of the most valuable toys right now classic toys is
the Lego Set Star Wars, Cloud City or Death Star.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
So cloud City that's with Billy D.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Billy D Williams. Yes, yes, and it is pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
He's kind of double cross on him, but kind of
not so.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
The people like you got to have an insane amount
of patients to put together, you know, three thousand piece
Cloud City, Star Wars and by the way, it's.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Not cheap and not have a girlfriend here you go.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
But the Death Star too. We bought the Death Star
for John. He was in the Legos like crazy engineers
are like that. The ones that you know are gonna
be engineers are all and like, I don't have the
patience for that. They know, and the ones that the
large ones, like the smaller ones he'd crush it. He'd
time himself and try to do it fastest way. But
the big ones he never put together. Like the Death Star.
It was like three thousand pieces, like ain't getting that
(24:16):
it wasn't operational. Take your fifty cents back, thank you.
There's always Aboriginal the Lego skulls Eye Schooner pirate ship.
I don't even know what the hell that is.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Doesn't fit on the box.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
That is a big one. Now. Other toys with high
collectibility are My Little Pony, that's a classic, and of
course classic old Barbies, like like fifties housewife Barbie. Yeah,
ironing and do the dishes, Barbarbie, Barby, service your man
(24:56):
when he gets home from work, Barbie, this house better
be clean when I get home, Barbie, did you cook meatloaf? Again? Barbie?
My favorite line from that country the blonde that does
all the comedy and she says, my husband loves two
things a clean house in sex, and everybody laughs and
(25:18):
she goes lucky me he's a keeper. So she's like,
he's so stupid. I just pour bleach in the corner
and he thinks to clean the house. Said, that's a
pretty good, pretty good here, I'm gonna think I'm gonna
do that.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Why is the carpet?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
White's a really good answer. I don't have. I think
probably some old Troy toy toy train sets are probably
a valuable Like I had one of those. My dad
put a he took an eight piece like plyboard and
put put it on sawhorses.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
And I do kind of like those people that put
together those real elaborate scenes like villages and trains. Those
are pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
It's amazing. We lived next to one like that. When
this old guy goes, he you want to see my basement,
and I was like, oh, I was like, I'm good.
I'm good. He was like, oh the basement. He goes, no, no,
I got a train collection. You're gonna not believe this.
And I was like, I'm sure, I'm gonna believe it,
and he goes, no, you won't. We get down there.
I didn't believe it. The entire basement, the entire basemento
(26:17):
was a town. And I was like, this is incredible.
I said, how long did it take you? Twenty years?
And he's twenty years. See that hid a bed in
the corner. It was incredible. Like the little trains made smoke, yes,
you know.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Little people and they made they paint them all.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
No, I know, it's really cool. Did he still have
a wife, well, yeah, oh, and maybe she's happy he's
down there doing.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
That don't gripe about my trains. At Barbie, we all, you.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Know, we always assume the white just spend time with me.
Some of the wifes were like, yeah, go down, go
down there for a few hours, please. But the mountains, like,
I don't even know how they build.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
The mountain parts like paper mache or something.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I don't know how they even do that. And the
train goes in the mountain, it comes out the other side.
You're like, this is so cool. I'm so glad the
old God show be Mom. Guess what. Guess what? Mom?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
What in to mister Smith's basement?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yeah, so much fun. Whoa whoa what?
Speaker 2 (27:13):
What?
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Got a real long train?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
He called it a train.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Smoke came out of it. Oh boy, man, I understand.
Every day it gets colder and I'm ready to I'm
ready to go to warmer temperatures. Like this morning. I'm
such an old weak ass, weak ass. Week I was
(27:44):
trying to fill up my tires. I got those little
thirty dollars air pumps off Amazon. It takes a while,
it takes a little longer, but you know, the cold
and everybody's dealing with it because the cold air pushes
the air out of your tires and you get that
little sensor and then.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
A white comes out of What does this depend?
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yeah? Exactly what is that? It's a tire being squeezed in.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
How about just putting tire on it?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yeah, tire's low.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Why does your bright lights look like a squid?
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Man really squids? But it takes, uh takes, I mean
imsels like, well, okay, I'm not going to drive to
work with twenty one pounds of air on my tire.
So I'm hooking that thing up and standing out. I
used to just stand and wait, and now I'm like,
I'm getting in the car. Don't don't overfill it because
it'll pump, it'll come out. You set it on the
air thing. You set the poundage. Yes, yeah, so I
(28:28):
said it a little over yeah, because it's cold and
it's gonna squeeze again and it'll get back down to
the normal guy. And by the way, I don't even
know what the normal number is. It's on the tire.
I look for it.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I can't fire to see. There's lots of uh little
raised numbers. I think I think it's braille all.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Right, but it's what is it? Thirty five?
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Like the normal thirty two is pretty safe with the
most tires.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
I put it on forty. Ooh it's too high.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Yeah, probably, well you've got yeah, you got bigger tires though,
mean will. But it's hard to say because my bike
tires are like forty to fifty five and those are
skinny little guys.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
That makes no sense. I know. It's because it's pressure,
not area. It's prissy. That was okay, chasing the squirrel.
You go ahead. I've been trying to figure out what
the difference between my my pulse and blood pressure, Like
why is that a two different things? Ah, I see
what you're saying, okay, and it's it's amazing. So that
I I don't know if you know this, but I
(29:23):
had a couple of heart attacks. What yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I was diagnosed. Don't just drop that on me. I know,
I know. I don't want to upset you because I
get you mad with like chewing sounds and things. They
could just drop you know, you got a warner guy.
I was diagnosed with care too much itis and it
affected my heart CTI. So I went to the little
(29:45):
post rehab thing and they were like, look, and he
was doubly worse because everyone there was old, Like I'm old,
but everyone there was ancient. And they're like, we really
don't get we don't get young people that work out
every single day here. You must have really screwed up.
And they're like, okay, a lot of drugs, did you.
So they took my blood pressure in the nineties. Hell yeah,
And they took my blood pressure and then I did
(30:08):
forty five minutes straight of cardio and they did my
blood pressure again and it was twenty points lower. And
I said, okay, my man, brain doesn't work like this way.
But your pulse was higher on My pulse was one
fifty because I'm getting after it on the treadmill or
the elliptical for forty five minutes and I jump off
and I'm at one hundred and fifty, like I'm banging
(30:28):
on the pulse, banging, and she puts the thing on it.
It's twenty pounds lower.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
And I'm like, I don't understand it. And under standing
how they.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Tell you being sedentary is not good for you. There's
evidence right there right down the chair is the new
smoking what Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:46):
And then they tell you don't stand too long not
putting that on a plate, and you said to stand
because the chair is the new smoking. But now you're
saying don't stand for you.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
You can't stand again because that's also sedentary bad. But
standing standing is bad.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
You have the standings on your back because you're not moving.
We should doctors who make up your damn mind, no doubt,
just tell me what what the hell it's a moving target.
At some point, we're all just gonna go. We're gonna
live our life sitting. Okay, we're DJs. We've been sitting
for thirty five years. Even if it's a.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Stand up studio. We sit at the old place. I
stood all the time, but this is a comfortable chair.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
I'm with you all right back after this sure Break
News Radio eight forty whas
By a guy in a hoodie with a backpack and
it with a gun with a silencer. I mean it
looked like some sort of TNT movie who somehow left
messages on the bullet casings. Do what see? That's the
other thing I'm not That's the other thing I'm not
following because people were like hanging on I'm punching in
(00:20):
my evidence.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
At the scene of CEO Brian Thompson's murders show the
words deny, depose, and defend written on live rounds and
the casings left behind. Oh so deny, okpose, defend.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Okay, So everyone's talking about this because it really is.
It's an incredible story, and the insurance is on top
of everybody's mind, and United Healthcare has probably has a
sketchy little uh past in what they've been doing. And again,
(01:00):
people have been denied. So one of the bullet casing
says denied, YEP, denied.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Proceed, denied, depose, defend. You're right, somebody could have been
denied now they want them to pay for it.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
It could be shareholders.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
It could be someone who lost their wife to cancer
because treatment was denied.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
It could be all sorts of things. There have been
stories lately that some of these insurance companies have hired
separate companies to go in and just help them deny procedures. Yeah,
they spend money to not spend money on you. Correct. Now,
my situation I from personally. I have United and you
(01:42):
were denied, and I was denied on the table and
the doctor looked at me and said, Nope, we're going
to go with this because you might die. So eventually
six weeks later they were like, now we see all
the paperwork. Now you're good, We're going to cover it.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Sometimes there isn't time for the paperwork and a lot
of thought.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
So right, correct? And there are there's a post that
I'm trying to find out or not, but it says
that United has claim denial rates by insurance companies and
United is the highest by far, not by number but percentage.
(02:21):
If you're asking, going, well they're the biggest, Well it's
percentage wise thirty two percent. That's one in one in three,
right that are they're saying.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
So that they're essentially saying that a third of our
claims are fraudulent and they're going to deny them.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Right or no, you don't need it, not fraudulent but yeah,
you don't need that, You'll be fine. Insurance companies for
one hundred years only want to and it doesn't matter
what insurance, car health. They only want to ensure the
healthy or the good drivers. Isn't that why I have you? Yeah?
And they drop you. That's the crazy thing, is I
(02:57):
I mean, yeah, you use them and they say bye bye. Yeah? Yeah.
I remember my grandfather being just incredibly pissed off. He
had had a wreck in like literally forty years and
he had a vendor bender. The other person's fault. They
dropped him. You had an accident at your age because
he was older. Now you had an accent your age.
It's policy bye, He's like what now?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
The people that were against Obamacare, now keep in mind
the Republicans have offered nothing new and nothing else. So
that's what we have. But they said it was going
to head in this direction. The more people that are supplemented,
the more coverage is going to be denied to others.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
And that's kind of what's happening. I think. And there's greed.
It's more it's greed, and it's really complicated. But it
shouldn't be. I mean, it really shouldn't be. I don't
know why something is a price, But if you have insurance,
it's another price.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
If you get the scan done at the hospital, that's
thirty eight hundred dollars. If you go to a private
MRI place, it's eighteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yes, but the same procedure like mine was seventy eight
thousand dollars or something. But if I didn't have insurance,
it was like twenty four. And I'm like, well, wait
a minute, shouldn't it just be one price? Well, no, no,
if you have insurance, we're going to get our money
from the insurance company. But if it's just you, I
had twenty four, Yeah, we'll call it twenty four. If
(04:16):
it's just you, How does that work? I don't get that.
I don't understand that. Why don't we know dentists have
it down. You know the price of the procedure before.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
You have the procedure, and they cap your insurance at
fifteen hundred bucks?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
What a scam? That is? Absolutely Yeah. I bought the
hospitalization on United and I thought, well, that's extra coverage.
It's eleven hundred bucks, So I'm okay. I think it's
like twenty bucks a month. And I was like, I'll
get this hospitalization just in case it came in handy
for this one. Sure it's one thousand dollars I can
get that helps out. But so this story I don't
(04:51):
think is going away, Dave. I think it's insurance. It's
United the biggest insurer in health insurance in the country.
He's a fifty year old CEO. He was going to
talk to the shareholders. I mean, this looks like a
TV movie. It's crazy, and people celebrating his death. Shame
(05:12):
on you, Like, what's wrong with you? He was the
face of the company.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Somebody has a problem with the company, or it was
a lover, you know, who knows. It could be anything
at this point, but in all likelihood deposed, denied, defend,
that's that's.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Not a lover anytime. Insurance. And unless he's dating a lawyer.
If you're talking about insurance and he says denied, that
says somebody was denied and they died right like that
possibility were going down that rabbit hole.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And you picture this call center with like high fives denied,
whoa he denied, another one saved eighty thousand dollars high
five in each other.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Meanwhile, somebody's dying. What was that Tom Cruise movie that
took place in Memphis? Was it Tom Cruise? And in
the where they got one of the books where they
train the person this is how you deny, confuse them
until they give up, because that was the point, was
that the firm, it might be the firm where he
(06:09):
it was they got the book and they were like,
they want you to go away.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
They want you to be bothered, so they want you
to throw your hands up in the air and stop trying.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
If they say this, say this, like they train the
people on the phone to make them miserable, the other
person miserable, and they just give up. They're like, man,
I tried for three days a call and I just
couldn't get nowhere.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I did that with one of the big box stores
and they're installers. It took about twenty phone calls. Yeah,
I ended up getting everything fixed, appliance and cash.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
It's by design. And by the way, I finally watched
the Joan Bennet Ramsey Oh story the three episodes. I
feel it's the brother, isn't it. I don't know. I
think people were saying that, but it's like, I feel
sorry for this family. Now, because I was one of
those people. I was told by the media that this
(07:00):
dude killed his daughter in some crazy sex thing.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Why is there a ransom note mentioning his exact bonus
in her handwriting.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
If it's not someone in the house, if it was
random contractor hiding in the basement, that note doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
A couple of I agree, But a couple things jump
out at me. One that was the only murder in Boulder,
Colorado that year. Mm hmm. That don't tell me things
haven't changed. It was the only murder in Boulder, Colorado
that year, just outside of Denver. Really, what, like, here's
(07:38):
part of the issue. The people work in the case. Well,
they hadn't worked a case all year. They're sitting around
drinking coffee, and I wonder if somebody's going to get
stupid and murder somebody. They hadn't worked a case in
a town with one murder the sire of Boulder. Wasn't
there a mass shooting and Boulder this year? I think? So?
(08:00):
I don't know, Man, there's a mass shooting every other Tuesday, Boulder.
Isn't that where you see is that's where.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, University of Colorado, that's where prime Time is hanging out.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
You'd be surprised how hard it is getting in Colorado. Dude,
your kid didn't getting into Colorado. If they do, go
and I'm it's so affordable too, but it's pretty I
see where I see where the two the couple Jamada
or John and his wife Patsy Patsy? Are they both
dead now? No, she is. He's still alive.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Didn't he end up dating Natalie Holloway's mother?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Oh? I don't know. He's a goof, like he's a
rich goof. But I can see where awkward people will
come off like they're looking guilty, awkward, like you know
people that are awkward in social situations. They look like
two nerdy type people and they were awkward in how
to explain things. Not some people can't explain things. Well,
(08:55):
you're just like, oh my god, you've been talking for
three minutes. What are you talking about? That kind of person,
And I think that's what got away from him. And
once the FBI, once the people in Boulder, once they
locked in on the parents like they did it, they
were ignoring everything else. And then here comes right in
from He literally rides in on a horse from Texas,
(09:16):
the most famous murder investigator, they called him Sherlock Holmes
of Texas. He rolls into this You gotta watch this shavie.
He goeta, No, it's not Jesse Lou something lou is
his name, old dude, He's worked one hundred and fifty
murder cases, solved them all, all this kind of stuff.
He rides in and goes, what are you doing? And
(09:36):
he solves it me. He says, look, these are taser
marks on her body, and the great was lifted and
then that's how you get in the window. The guy
got in the window.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
It wasn't the parents, dude, So why the ransom note?
But his bonus?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Did you see the end of the did you watch it?
I haven't watched it. Oh, so how do you explain?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Okay, wait, some rando comes in and kills my daughter,
So I'm going to write a ransom note. Unless the
parents were convinced it was the bokay, and they're trying
to protect you, I'll.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Explain it to you. But it wasn't. Okay, explain it
to you. This dude says, it was me. I did it?
Explains how he did it, And there was also another
little girl from her dance class a year and a
half later, where the mom caught him in the room
with the girl and she was in the same dance
(10:30):
classes as as Jean Benay. Her parents didn't do it.
They caused it because they dressed her up like a
little hooker and put her, their six year old, on stage.
And these little pedophiles went to the deal and they
watched it like weirdos, and they pinpointed her. So that
guy says, I that he goes. They went. They left
(10:51):
it five and came back at ten. He goes. I
got in right after they left. I was bored. I
was walking around. I saw that there was one hundred
and eighteen thousand eyes. I wrote the letter.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
How did he know about the bonus? Just it was
laying around or something.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
It was on his desk because they were sitting there
on his desk. Is this guy in jail? No. So
the problem with the DNA on the underwear was that
you couldn't figure out what the DNA was, but you
could see if it matched somebody. It didn't match his,
But that doesn't mean anything because it doesn't match anybody's right.
So the science is wrong. But he's like, it's me
(11:27):
and described everything. Now.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Sometimes people will learn a lot about a case and
for attention claim they did it correct.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Are you believing him? No, I'd believe that that guy
did it. Yes, And that guy now is overseas. They
found him overseas. What was he doing? Elementary school teacher? Oh? Boy?
So But the Lou guy, the Texas dude that came
in cowboy hat, I'm Lou. This is what I do.
I'm gonna fix it all right now? Baby? He figured.
(11:55):
He was like, why would a parent need a taser
to get their child to the basement. It's a good
point and the whole She went her bed and mom
was upset. There's no stains, there's nothing on that bed.
There's nothing on that bed.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
How could the DNA not match him?
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Because the DNA doesn't match anybody. Dude. You got to
watch the John Bona Ramsey special on Netflix. It's only
three episodes, it's an hour each and it's fascinating. I
got Jackie sucked into it late last night. She was
just like, damn it, I didn't want to watch this
and now I'm stucked.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
But did you watch TV?
Speaker 1 (12:26):
It's like David, take fifty cents out, thank you. So
watch the jomin a thing. Okay, So now that I
know how it ends, you watch it anyway. Man. You
know how Titanic ended, and you watch that. That's true.
You watched World War two movies. You know how that ended.
Good point. Okay. So the top story, there's no question.
(12:49):
Top story is this United Healthcare CEO being gunned down.
That story is not going anywhere, and I wouldn't doubt
if that thing ends up on some Netflix series a
couple of years from now. Is there's something there all right? Lastly,
before we go to break and get the joke of
the day, John has our joke of the day again.
He's sitting in for Dwight. He didn't do too bad yesterday. No,
it was pretty good. Yeah. Louisville Sports Commission turned twenty
(13:12):
five December nineteen ninety nine. I know you and I
discussed many times in its infancy of whether this was
a good idea or a wasteful spending money from the government,
And it turned out it really no, it was a
great It was a home run.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
When I was in college, I interned at the Florida
State Office of Sports Promotion, yeah, it helps to organize
activities like this and bring conventions millions and millions of
dollars or.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
As of it paid for itself over by one hundred times.
If you look at the top fifteen events that bring
money to the city, number one is the Derby, and
then the rest of them are all Louisville Sports Commission events,
volleyball tournaments, the largest volleyball tournament in the country, the
(13:59):
largest men's basketball tournament, high school basketball.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Team across country thing over at Tom Sawyer.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah, Tom Sawyer cross country thing the the the cycles
largest money they bring. It's it's an incredible amount of
money they bring in louisll Sports Commission. Of course, Carl
Schmidt is our favorite. He was in charge of it forever. Uh,
somebody's somebody's wife was the first one. What was the
(14:27):
Philadelphia Was it a baseball player? Wasn't Bill Cox? Or
Oh do you know McGrath, Chuck McGrath, Yes, Chuck McGrath,
McGrath's mom, No, no, no way.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Ali McGrath, No stop McGrath, the crime dogs, Allie McGrath.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
I think Tim Tim McGraw's mom was probably about three
ex wives.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Before the last time Tu McGraw had gotcha. She did
a pretty good job. And then she bolted back to
Philly I think is where she was from. Uh. And
then Carl took over and just kicked ass. But Louisville
Sports Commission, congratulations, twenty five years of success. And that
is a government program that paid for itself ten times over,
ten times over. There are a hands of good job.
(15:17):
So good job. All right, let's do the joke desire
Johnny from the news. You did okay yesterday, so let's
get back. I definitely need the immunity music today.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Oh boy, but hey, I found out yesterday I have
a fan of my jokes.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
All you do, I do us. Ah. She said, no more, Johnny,
which actually means tell more jokes. I know what, I
know what she was saying, guy guy to the hot girl.
She said no. That means I got it.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Chase, Hey Fellas, Hey, hey Johnna may So.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
A couple hunters are out in the woods in East
Kentucky doing some deer hunting.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Yeah, that's what they told their wives.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Right, you're on it today. Dollar out broke back. He doesn't.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
So one of them starts acting funny, gets dizzy, collapses,
doesn't seem to be breathing. The other hunter sorry, pulls,
pulls out his cell phone, calls nine one one and says, hey,
my hunting buddy here, just he fell over. He's not breathing.
I think he's dead. The nine one one operator says, Okay,
before we send anybody out, first go back over and
make sure he's actually dead. Puts down his phone. You
(16:20):
can hear his footsteps. Go over there, and all of
a sudden a gunshot. Oh no, Hunter comes back to
the phone, says, okay, he's dead.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
What do I do.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Now, that's a classic.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
That's pretty good. All right, good job, Johnny. That's a
joke of the day. December fifth, twenty twenty four. Back
after this on news Radio eight forty wh hance.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Is Elo No sounds like it is traveling Wheelberry's Oh
it got the Jeff Lynn drum sound from Elo, that
same kind of beat. It's all over free falling from
Tom Petty.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, I don't. I never got into the treveling Wilbur's.
I like a few of the songs, but it I
like it for them because they were like, hey, let's
get I like all you all, let's play some music.
That's the deal. Joe Burrow, it's a unique guy, transfers
(17:18):
from Ohio State to LSU, becomes this legend where he
basically is the quarterback of the best college football team
probably of all time. They went fifteen to oh and
beat more Top ten opponents than any other team in history.
That's why I say they're probably the best. And a
lot of the games weren't close. They weren't even close,
(17:38):
including the National Championship. And basically everybody off that offense
and defense went to the NFL and actually played, so
that's why I call it. So then he gets drafted
by the Cincinnati Bengals. We all went, well, that's it
for him.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
And then on draft night he's sitting in his living room.
It's like American Gothic but sitting down. Yeah, and they
have panel and I think plastic seat covers.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yes, well it's it's none of the you know, and people,
of course the internet is is insufferable, so you know,
they everyone made fun of his He's in a he's
in northern Ohio, in a poor area of Ohio, and
none of the furniture matches, and it's just him and
his two parents. There's no girlfriend, right, American family. So
(18:23):
then he gets to but then he gets drafted by
the Bengals. They all knew that was going to happen,
and we all went, well, that's the end of Joe
Burrow because that's where quarterbacks go to die. And he
gets him into the super Bowl his second year or
third year, whatever it was.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
One year was lost to injury. So that's one of those.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
It's the next year. I think the next year he
got him to the super Bowl, and you're like wow,
and then this year he gets the big contract. Right,
what happens. He frosts his hair like he's John Boll
I know, it's like, what are you doing, dude, It's
Frosty the ball Man and he's showing up in all
these weird outfits and it's like, first of all, the frosted.
(19:00):
He can't do that, dude, And then you're doing crazy.
If you heard what he did with he bought a batmobile,
No he didn't. Two point nine million dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Remember your roots, the frosted and the dollar round and
the family. I mean, that's just multi multi level.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I got it. It's layered. You're still smart. Tennis miller
Joe Burrell dropped two point nine million dollars on a batmobile.
There were only ten created. Okay, so this isn't the
one that was in the movie. This is some company
said we'll make this. It'll be just like the one
(19:41):
in the movie, except for the machine guns.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Does he have a layer.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
He wanted to? In the quote, he was like, I
felt like I wanted to dress up like Batman as
I walked into every game this year and people were like,
you can't do that. Stop. Okay he could.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
He could pull that off, Batman, but you have to
be winning. If you're not winning a ton of games,
don't be Batman.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Look weird. Only ten were created, made available as an
exclusive audience of avid car collectors, so you had to
be on a list, so you they were sold before
they were made. So the wopping two point nine million dollars.
The newest addition to this collection is the powertrain. I
don't understand all this five hundred and twenty five horsepower engine.
(20:28):
That means it's fast, four hundred and eighty six feet
or something pounds of torque. I guess that works a
jet engine simulation, a smoke screen delivery system, and imitation
gun turrens surrets. I mean you gotta see it. Just
(20:49):
google Joe Burrow's jack barrow and you'll go, oh my god,
you can drive that. He can drive it to Applebee's.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
So it's street legal.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Yeah, yeah, but it's a three million dollar car.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Where do you park it and walk away from Joe?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
You know you're not playing football for the whole for
the rest of your life, right, for the rest of
your career, like you could end tomorrow. What are you doing?
And he'd sell it for four million.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Probably takes money to make money, Tony.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Does it? Let me write that down, put it on.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
A plate, you know, sell it to the Franklin Mint.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
And speaking of making money, So I'm a purger. I
like to go through the house and I'm like, get
rid of it. We're not going to mostly tell the truth.
It's perjury, but I like the leap and you're gonna
put fifty cents in. Yes, I'm sorry. We got to
go the other direction on some of these, and that
was too thin of a line to do. Perjury for purging.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Okay, if it was I've seen your garage, I think
you are lying.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
If it was an interactent, Joe, no, how does it
fill up again? My garage is like the junk drawer.
I just cleaned it out. How is it filled with
little nickknacks of crap again?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Because other rooms become clean and the stuff from those rooms.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Find its way to the garage. Some little Harry Potter
craphead just walks in my kitchen and waves a little
wand and I like alaka, and then the thing fills up.
Uh So I get rid of my stuff. But the
people that don't, you're like, do you still have your
g I Joe toy?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I wish I had mine, because I had a talking
g I Joe full sized where you pulled it.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
There's trouble at the water hole, yeah, you know all
that kind of stuff. The water holes always it's always
trouble because there's snakes. There's always trouble around the water.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I mean, you've been walking in the desert without like that.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Gear, stay away from holes in general.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
You find the water hole and then the snake get you, yes,
hence hence the reference to trouble.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
The insures of Home protect have been scared houring sites
like e Bay, which I didn't even know was still
on eBay to find out what classic toys from the
eighties nineties and two thousands are bringing in the highest
amount of cash so they can set. They can set
like okay, you know if you have to file for
insurance and somebody stole it and figure it out. One
(23:18):
of the most valuable toys right now classic toys is
the Lego Set Star Wars, Cloud City or Death Star.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
So cloud City that's with Billy D.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Billy D Williams. Yes, yes, and it is pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
He's kind of double cross on him, but kind of
not so.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
The people like you got to have an insane amount
of patients to put together, you know, three thousand piece
Cloud City, Star Wars and by the way, it's.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Not cheap and not have a girlfriend here you go.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
But the Death Star too. We bought the Death Star
for John. He was in the Legos like crazy engineers
are like that. The ones that you know are gonna
be engineers are all and like, I don't have the
patience for that. They know, and the ones that the
large ones, like the smaller ones he'd crush it. He'd
time himself and try to do it fastest way. But
the big ones he never put together. Like the Death Star.
It was like three thousand pieces, like ain't getting that
(24:16):
it wasn't operational. Take your fifty cents back, thank you.
There's always Aboriginal the Lego skulls Eye Schooner pirate ship.
I don't even know what the hell that is.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Doesn't fit on the box.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
That is a big one. Now. Other toys with high
collectibility are My Little Pony, that's a classic, and of
course classic old Barbies, like like fifties housewife Barbie. Yeah,
ironing and do the dishes, Barbarbie, Barby, service your man
(24:56):
when he gets home from work, Barbie, this house better
be clean when I get home, Barbie, did you cook meatloaf? Again? Barbie?
My favorite line from that country the blonde that does
all the comedy and she says, my husband loves two
things a clean house in sex, and everybody laughs and
(25:18):
she goes lucky me he's a keeper. So she's like,
he's so stupid. I just pour bleach in the corner
and he thinks to clean the house. Said, that's a
pretty good, pretty good here, I'm gonna think I'm gonna
do that.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Why is the carpet?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
White's a really good answer. I don't have. I think
probably some old Troy toy toy train sets are probably
a valuable Like I had one of those. My dad
put a he took an eight piece like plyboard and
put put it on sawhorses.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
And I do kind of like those people that put
together those real elaborate scenes like villages and trains. Those
are pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
It's amazing. We lived next to one like that. When
this old guy goes, he you want to see my basement,
and I was like, oh, I was like, I'm good.
I'm good. He was like, oh the basement. He goes, no, no,
I got a train collection. You're gonna not believe this.
And I was like, I'm sure, I'm gonna believe it,
and he goes, no, you won't. We get down there.
I didn't believe it. The entire basement, the entire basemento
(26:17):
was a town. And I was like, this is incredible.
I said, how long did it take you? Twenty years?
And he's twenty years. See that hid a bed in
the corner. It was incredible. Like the little trains made smoke, yes,
you know.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Little people and they made they paint them all.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
No, I know, it's really cool. Did he still have
a wife, well, yeah, oh, and maybe she's happy he's
down there doing.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
That don't gripe about my trains. At Barbie, we all, you.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Know, we always assume the white just spend time with me.
Some of the wifes were like, yeah, go down, go
down there for a few hours, please. But the mountains, like,
I don't even know how they build.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
The mountain parts like paper mache or something.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I don't know how they even do that. And the
train goes in the mountain, it comes out the other side.
You're like, this is so cool. I'm so glad the
old God show be Mom. Guess what. Guess what? Mom?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
What in to mister Smith's basement?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yeah, so much fun. Whoa whoa what?
Speaker 2 (27:13):
What?
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Got a real long train?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
He called it a train.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Smoke came out of it. Oh boy, man, I understand.
Every day it gets colder and I'm ready to I'm
ready to go to warmer temperatures. Like this morning. I'm
such an old weak ass, weak ass. Week I was
(27:44):
trying to fill up my tires. I got those little
thirty dollars air pumps off Amazon. It takes a while,
it takes a little longer, but you know, the cold
and everybody's dealing with it because the cold air pushes
the air out of your tires and you get that
little sensor and then.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
A white comes out of What does this depend?
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yeah? Exactly what is that? It's a tire being squeezed in.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
How about just putting tire on it?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yeah, tire's low.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Why does your bright lights look like a squid?
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Man really squids? But it takes, uh takes, I mean
imsels like, well, okay, I'm not going to drive to
work with twenty one pounds of air on my tire.
So I'm hooking that thing up and standing out. I
used to just stand and wait, and now I'm like,
I'm getting in the car. Don't don't overfill it because
it'll pump, it'll come out. You set it on the
air thing. You set the poundage. Yes, yeah, so I
(28:28):
said it a little over yeah, because it's cold and
it's gonna squeeze again and it'll get back down to
the normal guy. And by the way, I don't even
know what the normal number is. It's on the tire.
I look for it.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I can't fire to see. There's lots of uh little
raised numbers. I think I think it's braille all.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Right, but it's what is it? Thirty five?
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Like the normal thirty two is pretty safe with the
most tires.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
I put it on forty. Ooh it's too high.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Yeah, probably, well you've got yeah, you got bigger tires though,
mean will. But it's hard to say because my bike
tires are like forty to fifty five and those are
skinny little guys.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
That makes no sense. I know. It's because it's pressure,
not area. It's prissy. That was okay, chasing the squirrel.
You go ahead. I've been trying to figure out what
the difference between my my pulse and blood pressure, Like
why is that a two different things? Ah, I see
what you're saying, okay, and it's it's amazing. So that
I I don't know if you know this, but I
(29:23):
had a couple of heart attacks. What yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I was diagnosed. Don't just drop that on me. I know,
I know. I don't want to upset you because I
get you mad with like chewing sounds and things. They
could just drop you know, you got a warner guy.
I was diagnosed with care too much itis and it
affected my heart CTI. So I went to the little
(29:45):
post rehab thing and they were like, look, and he
was doubly worse because everyone there was old, Like I'm old,
but everyone there was ancient. And they're like, we really
don't get we don't get young people that work out
every single day here. You must have really screwed up.
And they're like, okay, a lot of drugs, did you.
So they took my blood pressure in the nineties. Hell yeah,
And they took my blood pressure and then I did
(30:08):
forty five minutes straight of cardio and they did my
blood pressure again and it was twenty points lower. And
I said, okay, my man, brain doesn't work like this way.
But your pulse was higher on My pulse was one
fifty because I'm getting after it on the treadmill or
the elliptical for forty five minutes and I jump off
and I'm at one hundred and fifty, like I'm banging
(30:28):
on the pulse, banging, and she puts the thing on it.
It's twenty pounds lower.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
And I'm like, I don't understand it. And under standing
how they.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Tell you being sedentary is not good for you. There's
evidence right there right down the chair is the new
smoking what Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:46):
And then they tell you don't stand too long not
putting that on a plate, and you said to stand
because the chair is the new smoking. But now you're
saying don't stand for you.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
You can't stand again because that's also sedentary bad. But
standing standing is bad.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
You have the standings on your back because you're not moving.
We should doctors who make up your damn mind, no doubt,
just tell me what what the hell it's a moving target.
At some point, we're all just gonna go. We're gonna
live our life sitting. Okay, we're DJs. We've been sitting
for thirty five years. Even if it's a.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Stand up studio. We sit at the old place. I
stood all the time, but this is a comfortable chair.
