Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You guys watch you guys watch the game. I'm assuming

(00:01):
everybody watched the game.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Did the game? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was hoping
you'd bring that up.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Yeah, well look that good news for you because I
brought it up first.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
So yeah, what was sure? Yeah? What was your favorite
part of it? Of the game? Yeah, the game? You know,
I might I would probably say the crowd.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
I like, well, that's weird because the game normally had
like huge tens of thousands crowd, but last night only
three thy one hundred people showed up.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah. But what I enjoy, like, you know, the community community, Yeah,
that they create, you know, that sort of vibe.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yeah, yeah, all right, you know, being like three thousands
the least impressive arguably from a number standpoint.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah. I don't like to focus on the numbers or
the stats or even the specific sport. Really just the crowd.
That's weird.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Huh, really weird final score. The final score was sixty
six to fifty two.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
What a banger? Huh? Does that? Can you tell what
sport that is? Once again? I mean I would I
would imagine that's basketball. Yeah, so that was the Pro
Bowl last night? Oh was that last night? You just
was you just you just I was watching it, dude,
I was watching a different game.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
The Westminster finals of the dog Show. Is that really
what you thought it?

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Did?

Speaker 1 (01:21):
You see a Doberman pincher one good, you got a
big old ribbon.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
This is true.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Uh, Doberman pitcher one got a big old ribbon, got
to eat a toddler.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
It was fun. Good because it's always like some like
poofy poodle or something or some weird dogging don't know
what it is. That's good.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
I just I And I realized something when I was
reading the article on this this morning. They he would
basically the runner up was a retriever. You know, retrievers
never won, you know, a retriever types there are. I
don't even have a retriever. Used to have a retriever.
I think that's a damn shame. So AnyWho, but yeah,

(01:55):
so uh yeah. The Pro Bowl, which was it was
flag football too, by the way, that's how they do
the Pro Bowl now.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
So and it takes place not in Hawaii, not with
all the all of that, but it go. It takes
place as part of Super Bowl Week. Is that a joke?
Is it really flag football? Dude? Yes, you didn't see
any of this. I'm actually jealous.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
I didn't watch any of it but the clips, and
then I was reading this article this morning.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
I'm not gonna lie. I straight up thought the Pro
Bowl was on Sunday last Sunday.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah, and that you just didn't see anything about it. Yeah,
which wouldn't I guess that would because it's the Pro Bowl.
I assumed it was going to be the Sunday before
the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah, so no, So now the Pro Bowl.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
This is why, This is why people are like, why
are we waiting an extra week.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
For the Super Bowl? Why do we need too?

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Why do why do we need two We used to
have two weeks because you'd have the Pro Bowl, right,
but now the Pro Bowl is part of super Bowl Week?

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Why wait a week? Now?

Speaker 1 (02:53):
We can argue, look, you can go just give them
two weeks because you want everyone as healthy as possible
for the best game.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
I can see that argument.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
But it's not a it's not a and it takes
place in the same city so you don't have to
move people around.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Whatever.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
So this took yesterday in San Francisco, though not at
Levi Stadium. They played at some indoor arena there. They
played the Pro Bowl with flags. Yeah, it's flag football,
and everyone has to like give quotes to pretend this
is awesome.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Hold on, let me see. I'm losing my mind because
I swear right, the Pro Bowl used to be the
Sunday before the Super Bowl in Hawaii.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yes, I just say, yes, it always it has been.
And then they're like then they's just now we're doing this.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
And then that was the real you know, because there's
been like previous years where you know, they want Josh
Allen to play in the Pro Bowl and he's like,
screw that, I'm gonna play golf. And now I don't
blame him.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yes, well yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So this
is this is part of super Bowl Week. It's a
much lighter affair.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
It's the first time the Pro Bowl was held during
Super Bowl Week, and the host city was well represented
with Jerry Rice and Steve Young serving his head coaches.
Where's this one stupid quote from Jalen hurts?

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Mmm? Oh yeah, he goes. So they're interviewing, so it hurts.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
It's like being a kid again, but also very competitive
with everything at stake.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
And remember this is a sport.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Remember flag football is going to be in the next
Summer Olympics here in two years.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
So.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
By a little nod to that.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
So he said, their guys have a lot of great
passion go out there and represent I don't know, man.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Don't get me wrong, I love look, dude.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
When I was a kid, we played flag football, like
in middle school or even elementary school. I was all
about that, dude. So I ended up playing football. I
wasn't great at it, but I wasn't horrible. And uh yeah,
but then flag footballs for kids and corporate outings, you
know what I'm saying. But I also understand the idea

(04:58):
that it's kind of crazy that you have these five
and ten million dollars, you know, pieces of your NFL
puzzle in the form of the players, and then you're
unnecessarily gonna slam them into each other. Like I understand
the frustration there. That's why a lot of people would
opt it. Well, anyone in the Super Bowl was like,
now I'm not doing the Pro Bowl. Didn't used to

(05:19):
be that way. Used to be people would go do
the Pro They'd be excited to go to Hawaii and
then go to wherever.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
The Super Bowl. Well, they used to get excited too,
because they used to sort of do that American Gladiators
type stuff with the remember like the moving targets they
would have to hit and stuff.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
The skills competition. Yeah, oh it's my favorite. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
loved it. And like back in the day when you
had like Steve Young and Brent Farv and everybody. But
who was it who threw their arm out doing that
and then they kind of backed off? I can't remember
who it was. Well, some starting quarterback whose name escapes me,
like it literally like ruined his career doing one of

(05:52):
those skills competitions. So ah, but yeah, those were fun.
I'm telling you, man, I'm with you. I watching, especially
now that everyone can kick ninety yard field goals, wouldn't
you love to see the best kickers line up and
and you know, really go because like if you ever
go to the NFL game and you watch kickers warming up,

(06:12):
you'll see people breaking the records sometimes in like warm
up practice because they got nothing to lose and they're
just kicking the craft. It's fun to watch if you're
paying attention. So yeah, show me that stuff flag football.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
I'm not that excited.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
And then of course, and that's what's crazy to me.
It's flag football. It should be arguably easier to get
your guide, you know what I'm saying, And yet you
guys put up sixty six to fifty two. That tells
me that people's you know, nobody's really trying, which is
fine if you're gonna have fun, but don't don't.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Act like it's as competitive as it could be. I imagine
they don't want to be there either. Right before, before,
it'd be like, Wow, I'm going to free trip to Hawaii,
so it's kind of cool. But now it's like, well,
I'm going to California or whatever, yeah, to play people. Yeah,
you see it. They all got pooped on after too.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Oh man, yeah yeah, man, right on Joe Burrows he
got the worst of it. I know you're sad about that.
So yeah, I don't know. I don't if it was
the orange just stood out more. And actually they just
wore kind of whatever they wanted. Some of them were
wearing some like really weird, like those in shorts and
like long sleeve you know, training shirt. There's not there's

(07:24):
no pads right clearly because you're doing this, But like,
I don't know, man, some of them were just kind
of doing whatever and then you get this high score.
So I don't know if people are ever going to
be super invested in it again, but you know, maybe
with the Olympic stuff, and maybe this is what the
NFL is going for. Remember they want to shoehorn one

(07:45):
more weekend, so maybe they're saving this week to eliminate
for the purpose of doing that. Yeah, they went one
more week and then they want at least one trip
per year per team overseas. That's that's their that's their
immediate goal. So we will we will find out, all right.
So yeah, that's where we choose to start this morning.

(08:06):
The super duper important NFL game last night and the
Westminster dog Show, which I didn't know anything about, just
happened to see that this morning. But I know many
of you do like the dog shows, and that's fine,
go ahead, and then you probably the same people are like, oh,
the puppy are they doing the Puppy Bowl? Was that
a thing anymore? What if while making the Pro Bowl

(08:30):
like as safe as possible, we make the Puppy Bowl
more dangerous?

Speaker 2 (08:34):
I think it might have made this up. This might
just be a figment of my imagination or a product
of sleep deprivation, didn't they When it comes to the
puppy Bowl, I swear there was a story how about
they were going to incorporate cats in there too?

Speaker 1 (08:49):
There, Yes, yeah, they will. They use them for like
refereezer cats, right or something. Okay, they're gonna put actually
cats in there. I thought, like there is a possibility
my mind just made that up. But I swear that
was a story at some point.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Old, I'm checking it out. That's what we're I think
I remember, just like boohooing it, like what is going on?

Speaker 1 (09:07):
It's a mini stadium kitty halftime show. Yeah, no, you
want them in there playing, that's what you're saying. Yeah,
just say they're kiddies, but they identify as puppies. Yes, okay,
all right, I want to go a little further. You
know how like with the roosters, when you fight them,
you dip them in glass, and then one one puppy

(09:30):
per team has rabies.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Then it would be you're like, which one is the
mystery puppy? We don't know? Right? Yeah? Why are they?
Why are their paws covered a glass? What's happening?

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yeah, I'll go just if the NFL is going to
give up the mantle of butcheress here. I think something's
got to fill the void. So just saying, or just
go straight. Puppies versus kittens. Forget all the forget all
the other stuff.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Just puppies v.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Kittens. Man, most of them get along, some of the
w and you got a real rivalry there. So are
they even doing the damn thing? Hold on, well, steer
you wrong here?

Speaker 4 (10:13):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (10:14):
Yeah, yeah they are. Let's be uh team rough versus
team fluff? Wait, hold on, Oh my gosh, Ross, you
want to hear something? What the puppy bulls doing different
this year?

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Inspired this is the dumbest thing I'm gonna read you,
inspired by this selection of Puerto Rican artists Bad Bunny
to do the halftime show.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
You don't even know what it is. You don't know
what it is.

Speaker 6 (10:48):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
This year's Puppy bul will feature puppies from seventy two shelters,
not just across.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
The US, but also Porto Rico.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
And the British version nihlists. So there you go, the
little perto Rican twist on.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
There will a puppy be in address? Do we know? Oh? Man?
All right? Eight eighteen? Hang on?

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Uh? Oh, some of you were upset with the look.
The problem is puppies don't have hands, so they can't
be like, they can't dip their hands in glass like
in Kickboxer. So we're trying to compromise here, that's all.
But as I mentioned to an emailer, if you want
to go tail, that's fine. Also, we don't really want
puppies dipped in glass or rabbit around each other. But

(11:30):
I also don't want one in a dress singing reggaetone.
So you know there's that, All right, let me get over.
Oh but it speaking of Jean Claude Van Damn. So
yesterday just chilling, you know, And I'm not really a
show watcher, and I was slipping through and I won
the streaming services and all look at that. There's Time Cup.

(11:51):
He was on Netflix. I had not watched Time cop
in Forever Ross.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
It holds up, dude.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
The only thing that's kind of ridiculous is the uh
what they thought future cars would look like. Although I
would say the shape of them kind of looks like
a cyber truck, which is weird, but it actually looks
like they took Buick cutlasses and then just taped props
that look like the outside of a tie fighter to it,
but otherwise the movie is great.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
It's amazing how many of those movies do hold up
even if they are ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Yeah, and I don't know if it's the nostalgia of it,
but like I was, I was like, why did I wait.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
So long to do this? Man? And uh?

Speaker 1 (12:33):
And it made me, it made me remember because this
would you know, this is us going into high school
right when it was at ninety four when that thing
came out. So this is like, this is Peaker childhood there.
And then if you look around the two or three
years either side of that, we were.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
In the.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
We were in the greatest generation of action movies. And
I don't care what you say, weren't we. I mean
just that whole collective and the two that were fundamentally
just two of the biggest ones driving it could barely
speak English.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
That's the other thing.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Jean Claude van dam Not his first language, could be
a little always you know, it's pretty good, but but
there there's a few times really okay, And of course
Arnold Schwarzenegger and people were people were entertained, and also
they're frigging immigrants. For all of you who want to
tie everything into modern politics. And I know what people too, well,

(13:30):
they were white immigrants or they were no, they were
entertaining immigrants. Because also and also I will say this ross.
Do you remember when in the nineties, if you were
a bad guy in a movie, not necessarily the number
one guy, but a bad guy, you had to dress
ridiculous or have a ridiculous haircut. Time cop is chock
full of that stuff.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
I don't even know.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
In fact, I have to like visually, let me visually
figure this or show this to you, cause like I
just started laughing cause I realized that this is like
it's one of these tropes that enters into you know,
all the movies of that era, and especially when you're
you gotta have that little future vibe. Everyone else is
kind of normal, but the bad guys are always some weird,

(14:13):
like modified or odd. Like you would immediately if you
walked into a store, you'd be like, that's a bad dude.
That's a bad guy right there, even though it's not
the traditional he's just wearing the bike or whatever.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
And some of the bad dudes would like be that's
who they were. They were bad guys in other movies too,
so like, if that dude showed up, this specific guy,
you'd be like, ah, that's a bad guy.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hold on, it's just this guy's
hairstyle is just so it's so perfect for the era.
Oh yeah, that's the first picture that comes up. It's
so perfect for the era. They're just kind of do
it is the warm nostalgia of all of it. But yeah,
I would say time cop holds up. Yeah, here's let
me text it. There's one of the bad guys. There

(14:54):
isn't the male eyeball in Jean Claude while he's meeting
his wife. You immediately know that's a bad dude in
a nineties movie. All right, I texted it to you.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Man, that is a haircut, right, there isn't it?

Speaker 5 (15:07):
Though?

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Look at that man. It's a badass mullet.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
But do you think that guy's waiting for you to
go to church with him?

Speaker 2 (15:12):
He is not. No, he's not right, So we can't.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
I wish we could talk nineties movies the whole day,
which you know, or three hours, which I feel like
ross and I possess the skill set to do that. Unfortunately,
a bunch of people want to be stupid and evil
and corrupt, So we will have to talk about that.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
I know, I know, I'm as frustrated as you, dude.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
There's a story about these college kids, a story about
these college kids, man, where.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
By this is this is.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Where I think we're screwed on some stuff. Nearly forty
percent of Stanford undergrads claim they're disabled. I'm one of them.
So this is literally written by basically without the whole
thing to you.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Let me give you the gist of it.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
So if you go to Stanford University, like a lot
of universities, but Stanford is a pretty good university. My
grandfather went to Stanford, actually went on the GI bill
post World War two actually, and I feel like Paula
Alto's probably changed.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
A bit from the time when he was there.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
But okay, So at Stanford, like a lot of universities,
you go in, you're gonna have to live in the
dorms for a certain period of time unless you can
get an exception your local things like that.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
And you're gonna have a roommate.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Probably not all schools, they may differ, but that's Stanford's policy.
And then with Stanford, once you become a senior, you
do get your own room, and some juniors do based
on their track. So that's the current policy at Stanford.
Unless you have a disability, then not only do you
get your own room, you get a whole prize package

(16:54):
of stuff to accommodate, because while while they're not going
to individually accommodate, they will just have a blanket rule
that if you at any point, you don't have to
prove anything. And by the way, your disability can be
mildly undisclosed. Gluten intolerance counts ADHD. And of course you

(17:15):
have students with actual real on disabilities and who do
need maybe a larger space, they need a larger bathroom
as a result, maybe they're in a wheelchair, or they
need to they have seizures, so they need to be
in a situation where there's there's help if necessary, like

(17:36):
I get it, and so this is not me on them,
but clearly forty percent of students who go to Stanford
do not have a disability. Plus it, then you don't
have to There's all sorts of stuff in this article
having to do with how you game it so you
get a better meal plan that you don't have to
pay for, and onwards and upwards. And everybody knows they

(17:56):
don't have a disability, but they're gaming the system. And
I guess what it is here is it's twofold.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
I was raised.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
I was raised that gaming the system has a negative
connotation to it. So like, even if you do a
little stuff, you're like, ah, you know, I'm gonna park,
I'm gonna park here. And if I park here, there's
this little loophole that I figured out. And then and
but you still kind of you kind of realize you're

(18:28):
you're doing something that you shouldn't be doing. Well, we
live in an era with a lot of people doing
a whole bunch of crap that they shouldn't be doing
and being able to morally justify it. These students in
this article, they justify it. And their justification is if
you don't lie and say that you have a disability,
you're basically putting yourself at a disadvantage. Oh also, here's

(18:51):
here's here's the things the other things you get, so
you understand why I'm saying that. All right, So, students said,
not just Stanford, but many elite many universities who do
claim and are given a disability waiver not only can
get better housing, better meal plans again that they don't
have to pay for. And this goes with if you

(19:13):
have a non traditional diet, the world is your oyster,
because then they'll just give you the money so you
can go buy what you want.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Well, students like that.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Also, students with disabilities receive copies of lecture notes so
they don't have to take notes.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
And this is what I talk about bundling.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
So if you have a gluten intolerance, taking notes is
not a problem for you. However, if you are a quadriplegic,
taking notes may be a problem for you. Just to
go super opposite ends of the spectrum, it would make
sense to give notes to people who literally physically can't write,
even though there's tech versus this, but they just if

(19:56):
you're there, you get it all. You also get excused,
unlimited app sences, access to private testing rooms, additional testing time,
and just there's a bunch of other stuff. But yeah,
and so that's why they argue, why would I not
give myself the most testing time and the easiest path

(20:18):
to knowing this stuff? So that's how they justify it.
And so that's one side of this coin. People willing
to manipulate the system justified any way shape they can,
because who cares. Who are you disadvantaging? Well, I don't know.
Maybe other students who's class rank because they're doing it
the right way is statistically lower than yours, even though

(20:41):
it shouldn't be considering all the help that you get.
Maybe you're damaging a future employer who decides that a
degree from Stanford sounds pretty good to them, and then
they get you there and you're an idiot. Those are
the things you're damaging. But the other side of this
is and this is where this is the problem. And
I'm going to span this to what we're seeing in Minneapolis, California, Texas,

(21:03):
the amount of people that is coming to light that
are absolutely grifting the system. Whether it's the quality leering center,
it's this like two block radius in Los Angeles where
eighteen percent of all federal reimbursements for home healthcare flow
into That's a real stat you can look it up.

(21:25):
Eighteen percent of all federal government reimbursements for home health
care services flow into a two block radius of Los
Angeles where you have infinite number, well not infinite, but
you it's basically nothing but multi story you know, business
park kind of stuff and every single spot is filled
with one of these companies and is really really questionable.

(21:51):
So how does all of this continue to permeate culture? Well,
it permeates culture because people are going to do things
if they can get away with it. And that's like
this conversation with this one student who wasn't doing the
disability thing was convinced to do it and then wrote
an article.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Is because she saw her.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
Friends and classmates doing it and she saw how, you know,
the perks, but she also saw them never get called
out on it. And she says, everyone knows, everyone knows
what's up. And that's the same with what's going on
with all of this theft. If you don't punish people,

(22:35):
then other people go, well.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Yeah, i'd be stupid not to take this.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
There's no consequences, And that's how you continue to deteriorate
trust in society.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Man. This is why both this is why.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
It's almost more important on the backside than somebody like,
you know, the administration at Stanford needs to go. There's
not forty percent of you that are disabled.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
We're not doing this.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Uh, this is crazy, all right, So forty percent of
Stanford is disabled, I shout to repeat that forty percent
of Stanford's disabled. The numbers slightly hired at Harvard, by
the way, is forty three percent. Well, let's get away
from the four year universities. Let's go to a more
pure setting where you don't have a lot of where
there's not that advantage from a housing and necessarily food standpoint.

(23:26):
Let's go to a community college where you're there for
the learning.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Okay, Ross, at.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
A two year community college, what do you think the
the average percentage of students with the disability in a
community college.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
I'm oh, no, it's going to ten percent. Oh no,
it's that that would be very high. It's actually leve
work Okay, so lower percent. Yeah, actually you got it
too quick. Yeah, it's three to four percent. So well,
you have a generation of kids now who define themselves
by their quote disabilities and this in their victimhood. I mean,
that's how they see themselves or their sexuality. That's how

(24:00):
you define yourself. That's who you are by your disadvantages.
And it's super weird to me.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah, it sounds like the kids in this article, a
lot of them don't even define themselves by that, but
they're willing to lie about it.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
I think we came from a time where it was
sort of the extreme opposite, at least where I'm from.
I don't know, up in Wyoming, where if you did
have a disability, you kind of and I'm not saying
you should do this, I'm just saying how it was
back then. If you did have a disability, you would
sort of not I don't know if you would hide it,
but you would do your best to not have to
define yourself your best to fit in. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
And look if you needed a comment, and you're right
on the one side, and here's the other side too.
If you walked up to your teacher and are like,
I need more time on the test because I have
a gluten intolerance, what would a teacher of our era
have said to you.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
They first, they'd scratch their head because they don't know
what the hell of gluten allergy is, right, And there's
no Google so you can't look it up, So I
don't know. I mean, if you had my science teacher,
his name was mister Hall. He was an enriched science
teacher for the advanced classes. He would take out his
cane and beat you with his cane.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Yeah, we would be told to sit out and shut up,
and then our parents would be cult and our parents
would also then excoriate me. If I got home, my
mom would be what are you telling you? You have shut up?

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Right? And then that's how adults would deal with it.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
But now you would go on social media, you'd cry
about it, some advocacy group and start to go fund
me for you and sue your own damn parents or
the school right on behalf of it there. Sometimes you
have to be told no, and sometimes you have to
be held responsible for your actions, which include deception. If
you're deceiving Stanford University one of our premier universities, so

(25:44):
to game the system forget the food and the housing thing,
but giving extra test time so we can't evaluate you properly.
And free notes, right, notes is important? Man, were Rossrio
a good note taker a bad note taker?

Speaker 2 (25:58):
I would take the notes. Then I couldn't read my
own handwriting. But I did try to take like copious
amounts of notes. I get home and be like, I
have no idea what I wrote, but not because is important? Yeah,
because I'm left handed. It would all be smeared too,
so it would be like just an ink blot.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Well it's also because if you're left handed, you're a demon.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
I think, well, it is a severe disability and I
deserve specially. You're right, you need retrossive. One of my
best friends, Dave Garbarini, right, we played basketball time. Met
him in kindergarten. He sat next to me the first
day we became best friends, hung out all the time.
His sister, Christa, her legs didn't work right. Okay, that

(26:35):
sounds like a pretty legitim. She had a real disability.
And I can still remember her, like she was like
two grades ahead of me, and I remember entering you know,
high school whatever, and she was in the same high school,
and I remember her going down the hallway. She would
refuse special treatment or people helping her. She'd be like,
this doesn't define me. I'm not the fact that I
can't use my legs and I have to use these

(26:56):
crutches and pull myself along. It was the opposite back then.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
We had, you know, we had a dwarf in a
high school named Tiffany, and like nobody really thought of
her as a dwarf. She and she would not like,
she get mad if they tried to move her in
photos to the front, which is somewhat logical, but like
and it was just I mean, that's just what it was.
And sure, kids are kids, so you did have that,
but like she I don't remember ever leaning into that.

(27:22):
So she made jokes about it, but like that was
that was the thing. And now it's just like I have,
like how somebody who's legs don't work, and you're standing
there and demanding the same treatment because you ate bread
once and got gassy.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Okay, And I've mentioned this before too, Like we're talking
about how you have a generation of kids that defined
themselves by their disabilities. It's it's like a competition who
It's like you have the ribbons on your chest, like
you're in the military, like who can have the most disabilities.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Either disability or sexual identity or just all the inner
and the intersectional thing.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah, And the first time I really noticed it was
when I was on Twitch, and you know, first like
getting accustomed to that website and you get to go
to like streams, and you know, each stream is labeled,
so you're playing a certain game, and underneath the streamer
it'll be like a like a hashtag and they're all disabilities,
like hashtag diabetes, hashtag sorry, what diabetes hash I'm sorry

(28:18):
what diabetes hashtag? You know, invisible disability with that whatever
the hell that is hashtag? I don't know left handed.
And it's like, what is happening here? Stop it?

Speaker 1 (28:30):
And and it's happening because it's allowed to happen. If
it wasn't allowed to happen and advantages weren't gained, people
wouldn't do it well. And you're talking about young people
who are confused are Yeah, they're being trained, but they're
looking for they're they're looking for purpose, and they're looking
for a way to classify, like to find themselves. And

(28:51):
it's sort of like this gives them a purpose.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Like I'm now you know, I'm now not I'm not
just a guy playing a video game. I'm I got
diabetes diabetes sorry what that beatas? And I'm playing video
games that makes me special. That makes me feel different
than everybody because I don't want to be the same
as everyone because I am special.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Well, how would then you played games different? You have
to eat an apple?

Speaker 2 (29:11):
I mean, what the man, let.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Me tell you, let me tell you what a realgar? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's true. By the way, I'm not mocking people with diabetes.
It's like, uh, like you understand. Like my one of
my good friends, Rudy has a diabet No, not at all,
like like but here's the deal. Like he'll be in
public and then all of a sudden, he's like he's
got a little thing he's jabbing into his thigh there all.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Right, like and then he just but he doesn't even
stop talking. Man, that's not my my radio. One of
my big radio mentors, Jim Steele up at uh worked
at Flying Nitty two and Albody and a K one hundred.
He was like the first guy that really took me
under his wing. Diabetes. I didn't know, friend, didn't know
until I four years later, no idea. Yeah you know,
if he didn't introduce himself and go, Hi, I'm jam

(29:56):
and Jim Steele, I have diabetes.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Like if you're a radio, you gotta make you gotta
go gym dive beatis steel.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Right with me? And it was the eighties and nineties,
So you'd have a jingle singing it.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
Yeah, yeah, it would be great my car to package
all right, Hey you want a real you want to
you know, here's what I will say is a legitimate
uh disability being from Boston, Boston, Paul, what's up?

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (30:18):
You think you're talking education? I got something I wanted
to say. But first, if I went to a trade school,
if if I went to a shop teacher and said
I'm gluten intolerance, he would have sent me to the
nurse's office and tried to get me expelled from school.
So I didn't spread it to everybody else. But hey,
I see all the schools. They're looking for money now
for snow removal because they don't have enough in their budget.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Yeah I saw that, and yeah, and.

Speaker 4 (30:42):
They only have five flows.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Right.

Speaker 4 (30:43):
So here here's the idea I got, and this will
knockout you know. You know we can get all the
side streets cleaned up too. Let's put plows on the
school buses. The professional drivers there, you know they got CBOs.
They can be trained a little bit more and know
how to drop and pick up a.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Knock a bus to push that amount of snow. As
a school I fred is the frame of a school bus.

Speaker 4 (31:09):
Get pretty heavy. Look at the cities. I mean they
take every piece of equipment they got up north and
put a flow on gabbage trucks everything.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
I'm sure what kind of trucks, garbage trucks.

Speaker 4 (31:19):
But as you know, they got that what is that
where you take it to the tiff? You know?

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Okay for you, buddy, We're just look, we're just so
glad that you're able to call and interact with people
and know stuff.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
So anyway, they want this money, right, they want this
money for snow removal. But they don't open the school
until the snows melted away, So why do they need
the money.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
It's almost as if it's a grift. Do you think, Yeah,
tell you what, what if we get you like one
of those the large mad Max kind of things where
it's all the metal cage and then we'll just you
just drive around and do it all like kill those
kildos or things.

Speaker 4 (32:03):
I go, I go with plow them. Way back in
the Pro Bowl, did you see what's his name? Can't
even think of the name though. Came out in the
lock there on one of those scooters. Wanted to play.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
No I did not he lined up did what?

Speaker 4 (32:16):
I didn't watch it either?

Speaker 1 (32:17):
All right, Boston, Paul, I gotta go to I gotta
go to break Yeah here, just bad let me uh.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Let me thank you for the call.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Get to plowing and again we're so proud of you, buddy.
You're doing so good having to I mean, Ross, can
you imagine having to grow up in Boston.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
I mean the disability he has with a speech impediment. Yeah,
I mean, it's really inspiring to see how far he's
come to take down Whitey Bulger like that, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yeah, And you're talking about some truck and I don't.
I still don't know what's up. It's very where again,
kudos kudos to you. Okay, all right, very good? Uh
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four
back in just a few San Francisco TV stations. So
right over by where the super Bowl's going on, there's

(33:04):
a big digital billboard. And I'm sure, by the way,
this was very expensive, right, I gotta think I think
a digital billboard the week of super Bowl adjacent's two
said super Bowl when all the events to go along
with it, that's that's gonna be gonna be a pretty penny.
But it's what they put on the billboard that has

(33:24):
moonbats in San fran freaking out.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
So it's a pretty simple one.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
It's got a picture of a dude wearing an ice
uniform holding a trophy and it says defensive Player of
the Year Ice.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
It's not super clever, but it doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
It's had the intended effect. And it's like, I'm just
there interview interviewed some of these some of these folks
who lived there, and they're like, I'm sick to my stomach.
Were you really?

Speaker 2 (33:53):
I don't think you were?

Speaker 1 (33:55):
And there's one woman's like, the community is devastated. I'm devastated.
We need to That's not what devastated means. Devastated is
not there's a billboard that you physically have to crane
your neck to look at it and it hurts your
feels devastated is you are family reunion and y'all pose

(34:15):
for a picture together and then everyone got electrocuted and died.
Like the opening sing of King Ralph. Okay, spoiler alert,
that's devastated. Oh I wonder if that movie holds up Rosston.
What's the lesson you watch, King Ralph? Hmm, that one
could go either way.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
I mean everything I know about British government comes from
that movie.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Oh that's fair, okay, all right, So anyway, Yeah, that's
that's what devastated means.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Yeah, that's what that's.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Your your your uncle that you love actually fell into
a wood chip, or you're devastated.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
That's devastated.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
A billboard's not devastating, but I'm sure I would. Oh dude,
this is the other thing too. So uh, finally the
NFL commissioner decided to weigh in on the bad Bunny
thing because.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
Now you've got you've got people, you've got.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
And I look these uh these online petitions are what
they are. I don't put much stock in them, because
you remember Barack Obama. I was like, all right, we're
gonna have all these petitions and then if you fill
out a bunch, we're gonna do it. Then they just
they didn't do it, and it just became almost like
a venting, a way for people to vent.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
It was also stupid.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
So just because one hundred thousand fans would prefer George Strait,
myself included, by the way, I'd love to watch George Strait,
I don't care. I'm gonna predict right now that Bad
Bunny will not have as many number ones as George Straight,
even though I think Bad Bunny will be up there,
because George Strait is just he was just longevity man,

(35:49):
long twenty five years ago, he was, so he had
that album with the twenty five number ones. The guy's
still doing music. But yeah, give me some George Strake.
That's fine. But here's the reason I bring this up because, uh,
the NFL commissioner we responded saying that both Bad Bunny
and Green Day quote, uh said they're not gonna do

(36:12):
anything political.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
Uh huh what. I'm sorry. It sounds like you don't
believe them, are you. I mean, I mean pinky swear.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
I don't know if they pinky sweared or how he
came to that.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
I mean, this sounds pretty serious, so I would trust him.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Yeah, I wonder I mean, is there a track record
with Eddie of Oh, yes, there is Green Day. There's
quite a track record. And then Bad Bunny of course,
Like do I even have to get into that? I
remember he keeps saying something, I'm gonna wear a dress,
I'm gonna do this, and this is this is where
you get into the nuance. So him coming out there
in a dress is political. But then Goodell in the restaurant,

(36:50):
that's not political. That's just his genuine feeling, right, It's
the it's the whole dumb argument. That's used when you're
talking about, you know, trans right. These are not trans rights,
they're human rights. And then it could be these are
not immigrant rights, they're human rights, so that they can
negate having to debate whatever horrible proposal you're putting out there,

(37:11):
like infiltrating your daughter's sports teams, or flooding the zone
with illegal immigrants for four years, totaling in the tens,
you know, tens of millions. Oh, these are human rights,
so don't fall for that. And I think that's the
game being played here. I think I'm honestly just not
gonna watch it the halftime show. I'll probably watch the game.

(37:35):
I mean, I'm going to a little little gathering. Oh
just a reminder, And I'm sure ros didn't forget.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
We're not on the air Monday. I was just about
to say, and I'm not partaking in the super Bowl
because as far as I'm concerned, the season ended a
few weeks ago. And you're all delusional and you're all crazy,
and like the dude from Shutter Island that being said,
no work on Monday. So that's good.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
Well, but if you're not watching, maybe you should come.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
In on them now. He's so tired and very busy.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
But you're not watching man, try to figure out the
busyness is there. You're spreading your new rock salt that
you finally got.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Yes hey, yeah, arrived yesterday everything melted like clockwork went
out an Amazon legacy for rock salt like clockwhere it
was like watching paint and dry. Me looking at the window,
looking at my driveway, and it's suddenly all dry. And
as soon as it was all drive the FedEx truck
pulls up and there it is.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Okay, yeah, all right, bring you to your bags of
rock salt you had to buy from what Ohio or
something that came from Ohio which was supposed to be
delivered in what the next day, like like a week and.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
A half ago. Okay, well you get looked a little
dust in the night. Maybe I didn't know. I'm definitely
gonna use it just so I feel like I didn't
waste my money, so tonight, you know, before bed, I
am gonna sprinkle it around the car for sure.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
Well why why why be that selfish? Why don't you
use it to treat all the roads? Since we never
get these storms anyway, and everyone's not prepared.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
So that is that is bugging me is the argument
you continuously hear, especially online, is we can't invest in
anything for snow removal because these storms are storms that
only happen once every twenty years. Well, I don't know.
To me, it seems we've gotten at least two of
these storms for the past twenty years. Not as bad
as like say the ice storm, the predicted ice storm

(39:17):
that didn't happen, or I mean no, but.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
Like what happened to just in Raleigh where it's a
couple of inches. Yeah, let's happen lest a year. Yeah,
it has happened two or three times a year every
year for no twenty years. So don't use the argument,
oh well we don't get snow and it hasn't happened
in twenty years, because it does now. That seems to
be and I hate to say these words, it seems
to be right quote the new normal.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
We get smart enough.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
It was the new normal of the old normal because
I didn't grow up here. But you know, every year,
I just expect there's gonna be snow.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
Right, You're now expecting, like you know, one or two,
maybe even three storms now every year. So don't act
like it hasn't happened in twenty years, because it definitely does.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
Yeah, this said, the whole thing is and it's just
And as you go further north, you're seeing municipalities Virginia.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
I don't know what's going on up there.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Yeah, and they clearly are gonna get more snow, especially
as you get into more mountainous parts of Virginia out
there where they just they failed. Look at New York City, man,
piles of snow, piles of trash picked your pois oh,
and also piles of dead homeless people. So like you know,
the three piles of New York.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
The trash up in New York is something very strange
for me, even growing up in New York. So when
I would go back and visit my mom in the winter,
I guess, or even in summer, like you know, I
help her take out the trash and here, you know,
we have bins to put our trash in in the curb,
and up there they just put it on like the
trash bag on the sidewalk, and it's so weird to see.
It's like gross.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
I thought it was so funny watching the Mayor Adams
hold that press conference where he watched them with a
bag puts it in a bin and then just kind
of like points at it like, hey, this is how
it works. And everyone was like angry at the concept.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
Yeah I remember that, like they invented like they were
inventing trash cans. Yeah that was this past year. Wasn't
her last year?

Speaker 3 (40:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (40:59):
It was last year. That's just the funniest thing. Why
is this not normal? You want to pick up the
trash bag and put it in the can.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
And like he said, they're like, what old lord, no witchcraft? Yeah, no,
he's a warlock. Yeah, man, he's doing you know, got
to watch that. So yeah, like the whole I'm with you,
the whole snow thing you got, there's got to be
some because here's the thing. I think that if you guys,
if if we if we hadn't mismanaged so much our

(41:28):
roads department at the state level, where under the previous
governor they almost bankrupted it for uh, you.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Know, for all practical purposes.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
And then I see all the other stuff that where
taxes continue to go up, and then yet somehow the
snow removal continues to get worse. It's it's once again
ignoring the basic tenants and functions of government. For all
of the all of the craziness that you guys want
to do. Hey, let's build a rape trail. We'll spend
a bunch of money on that.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
Okay, I would appreciate it if they just came out
and said, listen, we're going to have this storm is coming,
and we're just gonna use it as a few days
to stay and chill inside and relax. I would be
fine with that. What upset to me is they act
like it's impossible to remove it because this never happens,
these storms. We never get snow. We had no idea. No,

(42:17):
yeah we do. We do. We get snow now two
or three times a year, but a lot of.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
A lot of it's light enough where it's less about
removal and more about prep you know what I'm saying.
You know, if you get if you get a quarter
inch of snow and you properly treated the roads, you
don't have to run plows over it all the time.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
You know why they don't.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
They pack it down and with lighter snow, everyone just
drives on it. And but because you haven't salted the
roads in that instant and then turned it to slush,
which then can refreeze to ice.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
They're able to do that.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
That's not as practical in a major metro, just be
due to the amount of traffic. So you have to
be prepared to do something. And if you can prevent
it from sticking or you know, get it to pass
over where just a you know, the cars driving over it,
Do you know what I'm saying? The cars driving over
it can essentially cloud it over because you properly treated it.

Speaker 2 (43:08):
These are all the different ways to deal with snow.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
Yeah, But throwing your hands up in the air and go, oh,
I didn't know it snowed here, that's not gonna work.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
Right. Like I said, if you want to use the
days just to relax and hang out with your family
and your house, and you want to take a few
days off, just be honest and say that. But don't
act like you it never happens. This never happens here.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
I want to put a sweatshirt on, threw the hood up,
and then just binge at nineties action flat And there's
nothing wrong with that. That's no, no, that's that's the plan.
Now there. Look are there some places where I understand
what's happen. You see what's happening in Disney World where
that got so cold the fountains are freezing over, which
was why, why this is the thing? Turn off the fountains?

Speaker 2 (43:50):
What are you doing? You can't turn off the fountains.
Yes you can.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
That's like homeowners do if it's going to get cold
in their yard, and they'd make sure the hose is strained.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
That's I mean, is the way you turn off the
magic you want to get rid of Mickey Mouse.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
Next, so I saw exact Ross is being I can't
tell he's being sarcast I saw this pushback with literal
people where somebody's like wow because they were showing pictures
on social media.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
Like uh, what is this? Let me hold on?

Speaker 1 (44:18):
What's this fountain? I I was looking at here. I
swear I was just looking at this thing.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
Uh yeah, So it was a yeah, here we go. Uh.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
The Remy's Ratitully Adventure at Epcot.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
Apparently there's a very ornate fountain. And I'm sorry, did
you say ratitully ratituey? Okay? I thought you said rad
a tooley. Oh maybe I did it's ratit too. I didn't.
Maybe I mispronounced it.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
Uh is it Remy? Is it remsdit? I believe it's okay,
all right? Uh So anyway, and so the fountain is
all freaking froze over. Do you know how damaging that
is for your plumbing? And here's why it's so stupid
and Florida because the ground temperature in Florida, if you
get that water one inch blow of the ground, it'll
never freeze over. It's just not gonna be cold long

(45:08):
enough to do it.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
So by forcing it up through the pipes.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
Because and I swear to you, I saw like Disney
adults pushing back going you. You can't turn the fountains off.
It's an integral part of the Disney experience. And I'm like,
what kind of Disney experience are you having with your
kids when it's twenty eight degrees.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
It's part of the vibe. You can't turn off the fountains, right,
It's like you said, it's a slippery slope. Next thing,
you're gonna be taking my disney safe. Next next Mickey
is gonna be gone. Just take Mickey away. It's only Mickey, right, They.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
Took talking Mickey away. Oh I watched some stuff. I
watched a whole Like there's a guy I wat remember
that he does a YouTube channel, and it's all like
some of the best produced documentaries I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
It's fascinating.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
And he did also the Muppets, Jim Henson won a
bunch of stuff, and he was he was just talking
about Talking Mickey versus Mickey and all the considerations that
Disney's been through. So if they were willing to take
Talking Mickey away, which was a fan favorite where he'd
actually talk to the guests, then you can turn the
fountains off for twenty four hours.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
It'll be okay.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
And I looked by the way, because I'm like, I know,
how many fountains are we talking? There's over one thousand
fountains or water features in Disney World in Florida, just
Disney World in Florida.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
How many people go just for the fountains? Nobody really?

Speaker 1 (46:25):
Okay, zero people go for the right I hope you
go for the rides. But also, what are you doing
if it's twenty eight I understand you probably are kind
of stuck there because you didn't know it was going
to be this and you got to make the best
of it. But I'm going to do anything. I'm going
to be inside anything.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
Do you know what I'm saying it comes down to people,
a lot of people planning this trip to Disney, like
you know, years out, and they plan it because it's
very expensive. So yeah, they plant house in some countries. Yeah,
it just happens to be when you fly in or
drive in after that year of planning, then a blizzard
hits and then you're like, screw it, I'm still going
to go. How dare we turn off my foul and
ruin my experience? Right?

Speaker 1 (47:02):
But what I'm saying is it couldn't you make a
day of Disney at indoor attractions.

Speaker 2 (47:08):
And still have fun?

Speaker 1 (47:10):
Do you know what I'm asking? Like, there's definitely, yeah,
you definitely could, especially because attendance has got to be
nothing right on that day, because anyone who does have
a choice to come back at a different time is
gonna be like, there's no way I'm going to the
frozen Fountain Land of Walt Disney. It's not happening. So
like Florida can be like, yeah, we don't know what
we're doing. That's why when remember when they were preparing

(47:32):
last year and they had that video of just two
like city workers sitting on the tailgate of a truck
doing one mile an hour holding bags of salt, spreading
it by hand.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
That made sense to me because it's Florida. You just
you're not seeing that coming.

Speaker 1 (47:46):
But with Disney, it's like, man, shut the water off
for twenty four hours because like that's going to be expensive.
I'm sure that. I'm sure it busted pipes. If you've
got frozen water like that, it it had to have. Also,
it's a great tell you what is a great time
to go ross? Not gonna get eaten by an alligator
because you know they're basically immobile right now. Down there,

(48:08):
I saw it. So there was some gators frozen in
ice with their little snout sticking out. They're very much
alive and once it gets warm they'll be fine. But
like this is peak season not to have.

Speaker 2 (48:18):
Your kid eating.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
So there is that upside, you know, over it over
at the Disney all right, eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
We got to talk this.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
Haitian temporary protected status ruling. This is pure judicial activism
because we literally just had a ruling on it, and
the judge and the judges it's just so loathsome because
they're right it into the opinion, Like.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
There's a whole.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
There's several paragraphs calling Christy Noman idiot. It's just it's
just so bad. But we got we got to talk
about why this is, why this is probably gonna get overturned,
how it's gonna get overturned, and frankly, whether we should
even have the TPS program because the tee Nobody cares
about the tea and that is a big, big problem.

(49:09):
So all that more coming up k c O Day
Radio program. Hang on, they grab a quick phone call
on the Disney stuff. Here Sydney, good morning.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
Hey, it's Susan. But that's okay.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
Oh Susan, I'm.

Speaker 3 (49:25):
That's okay. Yeah, No, I'm listening to you about the
roads in Wyoming during the winter time. I mean I
don't I don't get it. I mean in Greble they
put good on the snow to keep it from Yeah,
but a lot of times drive on it or you
have this.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
This is well, this will be weird to somebody, but
Susan will back me up. If you go out and
drive in Wyoming on a highway, they have gates where
they just shut the damn thing Interstates gates across it.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
It's like stay home, loser.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, from Cody dead Billings. Yeah, but but
that would always put us kids off because we'd used
the roads to seat until that dead trucks came and
you know, blew off onun Yeah. I also wanted to
say that my daughter's family is actually driving down to
Disney this week, uh for their son's birthday and uh

(50:22):
so I hope they won't have any dead iguana's falling
on their heads.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
Case. Are they driving from Grable, No.

Speaker 3 (50:34):
They're driving. You know, we live in North Carolina now,
so yeah, make sure because you mentioned think first that's
a that's a trick. No, I'm a trance, I'm a transplant.
But if guana is a no joke, I used to
think that they were like when I lived in Florida,
I'm like, that's bull and going behold, I'll get off
work at seven o'clock in the morning and they'd be like

(50:56):
three or four of them on my car and I'm like,
are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 (50:59):
I went, I hope your family has a good time
down there. I'm curious if they'll do a spy report
if any of the founders are like busted, so.

Speaker 3 (51:08):
I'll ask them too, I know, will take that on
as a personal challenge to find out for me.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
Okay, all right, well I appreciate the call, Thank you
very much, Susan. Have a good one there, all right,
So we can get a little spy report here, Ross,
I was thinking about somebody else who was probably hit
very hard by this. By the way, the amount of
people in my email who are mad over the concept
of Disney adults is very interesting to me, basically paraphrase,
because I got a few emails here. Basically they're in

(51:37):
the way Disney should only be for people with kids.
Is it that big of a problem with Disney adults
down there? I don't know, but I do know that
the other group that Ross told me about, which I
think is funny, probably was devastated by this cold weather.
And that's the shirtless, out of control Brazilian tourists. Yeah,
they'll all do to exposure, are they? Well, you know

(51:59):
that's because they don't own any other clothes than that
very minimal. I'm not I'm not paying. And by the way,
I understand this is a cultural thing. I was in
Brazil and to some extent in Colombia. The amount of
times where I go into like a you go to
a restaurant or something and or like a little like
they have the little bar on the lake there and

(52:20):
gat to pay, which is kind of nice, but it's
not a beach. I want you to understand this, And
I'm like, are you can you go into a steakhouse
in Lingerie?

Speaker 2 (52:27):
I don't know what's going on here. And it's just normal. Man.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
It was very normal. But it's uncomfortably normal too, because.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
Like it's not just the adults that dress that way.
So then I looked into it because there was this
big thing that happened and we mentioned it before in
the show like years ago, where it's the Brazilian tour
groups and if you haven't experienced them at Disney, there's
YouTube channels dedicated to this, like people getting pissed off
and angry at them because, like we say, you spend
all your money and you go there and you're plan
your trip and then out of nowhere, these buses pull

(52:55):
up and a parade of these Brazilian tour groups come out,
and most of them are sixteen year old girls celebrating
their birthday and celebrating their fertility, and they dress they
everyone in the parade group is wearing next to nothing
at Disney and they chant and they yell and they

(53:16):
take over the park and it is absolute insanity. And
you're sitting there like I'm sitting there with my wife
and my kid, you know, we're on getting in the
line for the Winnie the Pooh ride, and next to
you you have some sixteen year old from Brazil wearing
just the Winnie the Pooh shirt, you know, the red
half shirt, and you're like, it's going on, Like how
do they get in the park.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
It's one dude, if you haven't been to the countries
to see where it's just like they're not doing anything
they don't do with their own house.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
This is what I'm telling you.

Speaker 1 (53:45):
Like it's just especially in Brazil, blew me away because
like like it was, it was, but like it's just
the society. This is not an insult by the way
society's there and the way that people interact with each
other are different all over the world. You go to
the like the Nordic countries, people are very quiet, very
reserved on stuff. You go to Brazil or Columbia or

(54:08):
a bunch of Latin America, it's a it's a much louder,
more boisterous, arguably much more friendly. Yeah, I was gonna
say that, much more vibrant, and you can cheat. And
they're celebrating life. I understand that. And they're full and
they're full of joy and they seem happy. But when
I'm saying, when you're sitting and you're waiting to show
on the Winnie the Pooh ride and this parade of
you're like, oh, is this some sort of Disney production?

(54:29):
What's coming around the corner here? And it's just the
fifty to sixty Brazilians with their flags and wearing nothing
and parading around the park and you're like shielding your
eyes from your kid. You're like, don't look because they're
were like, how is that all out in the park?
If I walk into the park.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Maybe they will let me in the park, Dre It's like, yeah,
they'd be like what are you doing? You're crazy? But
put on some pants.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
I simultaneously want you to do it, but also don't
want to see it, so so maybe do it and
then tell us about I think what happens is the
buses pull up whatever, they're aware that they're coming and
they're spending so much money on this trip, they just
let them in the park.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
Yeah, because again because again they didn't.

Speaker 1 (55:05):
It's not like they bought slutty clothes to come there.
This is this is again, this is my that's like
you see it. I saw it literally everywhere that I
think I've traveled in in Latin America, Damn near everywhere.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
Now.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
Now, it's not to say that if you get into
a business environment, it's not. But when you're doing something fun,
you're doing something fun and you're dressing like that, so.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
And and you know people people.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
Who aren't familiar with it, they they definitely have a reaction.
Plus the part where you mentioned that it's a lot
a lot of the the when you get into like
the Kinson Aaron stuff where it's the underage kids, like
that's I think the part that bothers people the most.
And then the fact that Disney is a kid setting.
So I get all this stuff, man, I get it
one hundred percent. All right, well they're all dead and

(55:53):
so anyway, because it was twenty eight degrees and they
showed up in uh in a thong, so that's not
gonna go. Oh.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
That was the other thing in Brazil, the amount of
the it's just thongs.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
They they've forgotten anything but thongs on some of the
on the beach that I went down there, which some
of you are probably like, that sounds amazing, But you
can get thong overload because not everyone should wear a thong.
Do you understand what I'm saying, Like I shouldn't wear it.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
You know, it's like the yoga pants spandex rule, right.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, It's just it's just that version
of it. So, but everyone's in a great mood, man,
Everyone's so damn friendly.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
That's that's the thing. For that much joy.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
That is the one thing I really do like about
the culture because you have you have such an excess
of things that we would consider negative obviously, which they
do too, poverty right out of wedlock, bursts or a big, big,
big thing in a lot of countries because people tend
to get tend to get tend to have kids before
they're eighteen in many instances. Maybe it's maybe it's because

(56:57):
of the way they're dressed. I don't know, but like
and and so all of those struggles are overcome by one,
living in family units very very common.

Speaker 2 (57:06):
We got multiple generations. But two just positive attitude man
in the in the face of it.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
And I have to respect that, especially when you see
some of the poverty that exists in places like Ecuador
and Colombia and Argentina and other places that maybe you've
traveled Dominican Republic, maybe you went down there and you
actually got out of the all inclusive. It's definitely it's
definitely an attitude.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
Yeah, it's definitely a cultural thing because I'd be like, sure,
you're turning sixteen and you want to go to Disney,
I'll pay for your trip, but you're gonna wear sweater.

Speaker 1 (57:36):
Well you're not a sweater, but so let's not see that.
We don't need to see your midriff or the underboob.

Speaker 2 (57:42):
That would be great.

Speaker 1 (57:43):
So but also it's it is a very you know,
it's also the amount of people that have some sort
of plastic surgery and a lot of it's not real
good is definitely stands out to you just because again
it's a cultural thing and so like and not just
up top but behind there's a reason they call it
the you know, the Brazilian butt lift.

Speaker 2 (58:04):
But a lot of implants and stuff.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
It's like comically comically oversized and everyone's just like, yeah,
it's normal, all right, Okay, seven forty four CaCO Day
radio program Race stage here from the Weather channel.

Speaker 2 (58:19):
What's going on, dude? Nah, not much? How are you well? Ross?

Speaker 1 (58:22):
Let's see here, you're gonna give us a little dusty
more of snow. Our schools can't get their crap together
because they don't have to clear snow. Did you let
me let me ask you a question. Did you went
in Wyoming? Do you know who cleared the athletic fields
at our high school? Students paid child labor in the
format us. Yes, they made this. They made the football
team or whatever teams do it. And then if you

(58:43):
had a pe class, you were clearing snow.

Speaker 6 (58:45):
So we didn't in Upstate didn't really get a lot
of snow during football season. And I'll remember I was
a sophomore. It was against round Up Valley and it
snowed and they basically said on Friday, if you want
to play tomorrow, you have to clear the field.

Speaker 2 (59:00):
So we had correct we had.

Speaker 6 (59:02):
We were using the field the floor hockey sticks from
indoor floor hockey to clear the field. I mean, it
was brutal.

Speaker 2 (59:10):
Never get away with that today.

Speaker 1 (59:12):
Well they had, they had, They had a bunch of
shovels and stuff.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
But since we were ranch kids.

Speaker 1 (59:17):
We also all had shovels basically in our truck because
you're always using a shovel, right, and then we would
throw We knew if it was snowing to throw a
snow shovel in there. So our life was easier because
we were going to be made to help and nobody
went to jail.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
And we were able to do things. Look at you now,
Rayeon brought back in memory. Floor hockey was fun.

Speaker 6 (59:35):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yep. There used to be some checking.
Go I don't even know this one friend of mine.
I don't even think he talks to me anymore because
I checked him so hard and put it was.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
It was bad. It was bad, you know what, butcher dude,
I mean there was a cheap shot. Was only eight
feet tall at the time.

Speaker 6 (59:55):
No, yeah, most people, I was.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
Yeah, he was a little underclass knee face you little
wise guy.

Speaker 6 (01:00:02):
Kind of a good friend of mine too, but I
kind of put him in his place literally.

Speaker 1 (01:00:06):
So so some of the sadists and Raleigh who are
complaining that really didn't get enough snow might be happy
about additional snowfall. But I'm gonna promise you that people
try it in the south. They are not happy about snow.

Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
So advisories.

Speaker 6 (01:00:19):
Yeah, the advisory tomorrow morning, late tonight or this evening
through tomorrow morning is about from Winston Salem down toward
Albamar and into Silver Valley and points east does cover
the triangle, and it's still an inj or less of accumulation.
The problem is is that you've still got temperatures are
gonna go down below freezing. You've still got melting snow
in some areas, so you're still gonna have ice tomorrow morning,

(01:00:40):
even though there's not gonna be much of additional accumulation.
I think that's the real kind of complication to this. Also,
my advice travel carefully tomorrow morning. If you are going
to travel, it's probably gonna be slippery in spots, especially bridges,
overpasses and the areas that won't get treated. You know,
just just gonna be tricky. That's that's basically it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
Okay, all right, appreciate it, sir, and we'll talk in
an hour. Okay, yep, all right, there you go, uh
race agic from the weather Channel.

Speaker 2 (01:01:07):
All right, I got a few audio cuts. I gotta
get your way.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
We'll do that next and you will be annoyed at
one and uh probably laugh at the other. So hang loose,
will be back the fact that you've got a member
of Congress literally on the House floor saying this, Jerry Nadler.
Jerry Nadler says, if hold on, um, if you were

(01:01:32):
attacked by a mass person I think you're being kidnapped,
you would be justified in shooting the person to protect yourself. Yeah,
So he argued that Americans be justified shooting ice agents
if they believe they were quote massd hoodlums and not
one of the quote government goons. Souh, that's horrible advice.
Don't do that, by the way, Actually, you know what,

(01:01:55):
hold on if that's the standard Jerry Nadler. Once, let
me let me issue a little a little warning for
all of you, because I want the audience to stay safe.

Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
We love you.

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
Right, if you're approached by a person who has pulled
their trouser pants so far up so as to obscure
their face, you have to assume that's probably a bandito, Right,
he's there to rob you, obscuring his face rolling up
on you. How am I to know that that's a

(01:02:24):
member of Congress with the highest pants I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (01:02:28):
Does that work?

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
Also, Jerry, You're hold like if please never go to
a ski area, so you can have to murder everybody,
or or we can use situational awareness to determine what
something might be. And don't get me wrong, there has
been incidents where there has been confusion as to who

(01:02:49):
is in somebody's house. I have been.

Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
I have.

Speaker 1 (01:02:52):
Literally, I don't say I've been a victim, Souse, I'm
not a victim, but I have. This has happened to me,
and I've told this story. When I moved into a
brand new built condo that was above an existing office building.
Right it was a dentist's office, and they outfitted the
second floor as an apartment, very nice apartment. When I
lived in Minnesota, and I happened to know the guy

(01:03:14):
who owned the building as a friend of mine. His
wife is the dentist, and he was a city councilman
too in a little small town at one time, so
I got to know him. There you only serve one term,
but he's like, hey, man, you want to rent the apartment?
I mean sure, yeah, And it was so new, I
mean you could smell it. And I was there for
just a few weeks and I'm sleeping in the middle
of the night and I hear you have to understand

(01:03:35):
that there's a first floor entrance go straight upstairs off
the back of this building, and all of a sudden,
I hear people coming up the stairs. Well, let's just
say I grab a little home protection. And the way
the stairs come up, if you get to the top
of the stairs and walk forward his kitchen, living room,
the guest bathroom, and then if you turn at the

(01:03:56):
stairs like ninety degrees back or one hundred and eighty
degrees back, excuse me, then it goes down a hallway
and there goes to two bedrooms, the big main bedroom
and then the one I had outfitted as an office studio.
And so I have a visual looking down the stairwell.
So what was it? Was it people breaking in my house? No,

(01:04:16):
it was two officers, police officers for this smaller town
that I was living and when I first moved to Minnesota.
And in fact, what's even crazier is I knew one
of the officers brothers, was very good friends with him,
and they thought that, so what would happen. What had
happened is when they wired it, and they wired.

Speaker 2 (01:04:33):
The phone system. The phone system.

Speaker 1 (01:04:35):
Fritzed and kept calling nine to one one. So now
they're going to go check it out. And they thought
somebody was breaking into the dental office. They didn't realize
that that door goes up to an apartment. So they
get in there. They start walking up and you can
hear the moment because I can hear the conversation. You
can hear the moment it clicks that they're now not
in the dentist office. There's someplace house. And then they

(01:04:58):
start yelling police out and I respond, okay, and then
I tell them I said I have a firearm and
to place it down. And then the officer comes up
and I'm like, hey, you're Michael's brother, right. I had
met him at a wedding for their other sibling.

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
And that was it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:14):
So that was Look, that was a scenario that like,
I didn't know those were police because it's super dark.
They didn't know what was up and there, and we
were able to figure it out and just common sense,
I didn't start blasting down there, and they made an
effort to once they realized what was up to do,
you know, make the announcement and do what they have
to do. And everyone stayed calm and that was it.

(01:05:36):
So there you go, like it can happen. But with
Jerry Nadler, Jerry Nadler like just trying to create these
other scenarios or at least feed into it. It's so
incredibly dangerous because you don't want you don't want more
of this stuff, as much as you argue about, you know,
the good or petty and the situation around it, Like

(01:05:57):
even these discussions are not good for us societally, So
why wouldn't we do everything we can to prevent it,
like not say insane stuff like this, The uh, the.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
Olympics kickoff on Friday.

Speaker 1 (01:06:08):
By the way, how dare the world if I can
just point this out, how dare the world schedule the
Olympics at the same time as our Super Bowl? I
think I think we should have demanded they move them back, you.

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
Know, the disrespect from these people mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
I think Trump, you get the tariffs thing, and you're like,
you're gonna move this or you're not gonna like what's
gonna happen, And then you can watch all the European
We're not going to do that, and then check their
their wallets and be like all right, we'll go ahead
and move it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
But yeah, so we kick off Friday.

Speaker 1 (01:06:41):
They already got some I think there started curling already
for the preliminaries. In fact, yeah, yeah, today I hang
out out your stupid website. Yeah, so curling actually kicked
off today and then tomorrow tomorrow we get into some
other sports like skiing and the ice hockey lose. When's

(01:07:02):
the figure skating, because let's face it, that's what people
that's what people are really looking for. Yeah, figure skating
starts Friday, okay, and that's important. There's an interesting little story.

Speaker 2 (01:07:16):
Ross.

Speaker 1 (01:07:17):
You said your mom loves the figure skating.

Speaker 2 (01:07:19):
Oh, dude, back in the day, we would be glued
to that. Yeah, she loved. Back in the day, she
loved Brian Boitano and Scott Hamilton. Okay, yeah, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:07:30):
You know a bunch of those figure skaters that actually
live up in Minneapolis, and so we've had an opportunity
to do We did a couple events with them and
it was everyone was very nice. So let's see here
this year. This year, there was a little bit of

(01:07:50):
a controversy, though it sounds like it's been resolved.

Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
One of the.

Speaker 1 (01:07:53):
Figure skaters had crafted an entire routine based on the
Minions movies.

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
Yes, yes, in fact.

Speaker 1 (01:08:02):
He's he's wearing like the Minions coverall with the yellow
shirt and the goggle thing.

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
I mean, the costume is fine, but the proportions are wrong,
Like he doesn't have the body built he should have.
I know, he looks more like warrior though, and less
of a minion. There's no W. I don't see a
W anywhere. Well, I mean like he's got the overalls
and he's got the color scheme and stuff. But I mean, yeah,
he's the body.

Speaker 1 (01:08:25):
Of proport If it was what do you want, yes, okay,
that would be a perfect minion what you want to
see the yellow shirt because the coveralls would.

Speaker 2 (01:08:33):
Be pulled up over his goggles and then he could
do that triple sal chow thing sauchow triple salp chow
chow chow. I remember there was some sort of thing
where they would flip in the air like three times.
It was triple something. Oh's triple axel or no, there's
a triple axle and then there's the triple souchow.

Speaker 1 (01:08:51):
Is So a guy named Sal has a dog, aggressive dog.
You ever met a non aggressive chow. I'm sure they exist.
It's the couple I've been around mean all right. So anyway,
so here was the controversy. So as part of it,
he's clearly dressed his Minions or is you know Minion,
although not to the proportion that Ross would like. And

(01:09:11):
then he was going to skate to one of the
songs from the movies from the movie I don't know
which one it is. I admittedly I don't know a
ton about the movies. That being said, he was told
literally a week before the Olympics that there was a
copyright issue and he would not be able to use
that music, which is a real problem.

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
It's not like you can just plug in another song.

Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
Your routine is crafted around what's going on in the
music on the ice. Everything for maximum effect, right, you
want to maximum effect.

Speaker 2 (01:09:44):
You want to show the difficulty of the tricks.

Speaker 1 (01:09:46):
But there's also an artistic arm to this, and so
that's what he's going for. And the reason that everyone
was losing their minds is because the copyright holder of
the Minions the songs is NBC Universal, the very same
company who is broadcasting the Olympics. And people are like,

(01:10:09):
this is dumb and you know Ross, you remember how
efficient NBC was in purging anything and everything from the
Internet during the summer.

Speaker 2 (01:10:20):
Day, because they still are. They still are.

Speaker 1 (01:10:23):
It's like controversy over the opening.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
You can't find that. What were you gonna say? No,
it's pretty impressive. Like you'll be watching the Olympics and
you'll see something you're like, oh, man, I can use
it in the show Tomorrow'm gonna get the audio and
you'll you'll find the link on YouTube, somebody recorded it whatever,
And then you go into work the next morning and
by the time you get in, they've wiped it from
the Internet. But I'm going to efficient.

Speaker 1 (01:10:44):
What I'm gonna do this year is if I come
across something, I'm going to I have a little download
thing on my phone. If I'm watching a video and
I want to download the video, I'm going to download
it and then just send you actual video copies for
audio because we can use Look, here's the deal. Legally,
we can use what's happening there as fair use. If
we're using it in this particular format, that's not a thing.

(01:11:07):
We're not violating anyone's copyright. We're we're doing fair use.
But even finding the clips for fair use is not
easy last time around.

Speaker 2 (01:11:17):
No, it was hard during the Summer Olympics. This past
one too, right when France where remember the weird opening
and we're going to use it in the show and
it was going in the morning, this compete. Yeah, they're
trying to lie that it's some other painting.

Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
Right, Oh, that's totally not the Last Supper, even though
it's exactly the last Supper. Yeah, so we wanted to
We wanted to do that, so we'll do it. So NBC. Uh,
clearly there was enough people pushing back. They have now
granted him the ability to use it, so he will
be able to do a minion's routine. But I think
that that's some of the stuff, you know, that's the
stuff that a lot of people are going to tune

(01:11:49):
in for.

Speaker 2 (01:11:50):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:11:50):
Love the the ice skating, it's a big, big, big
part of it. I like the aerial stuff. I think
that's great. As somebody who grew up skiing, and uh,
there was a there was a window of my life
where I was trying to figure out how to do
flips and stuff. I've only ever you know, I could
land a flip back in the day, not every time,

(01:12:11):
but like, it's truly impressive, truly impressive, So I'll watch that.
But also, you know, the other thing we the whole
you know, it's watched about and talked about, is the
crazy stuff that happens Bob Costas's Pink Eye, the Russians
building secret rooms to cheat the opening ceremonies, where they're like, hey,
how can we irritate the majority of the world's religions. Yeah,

(01:12:37):
so those are still going to get the coverage, but
it's nice when there's the non.

Speaker 2 (01:12:41):
Political stuff that people are excited about.

Speaker 1 (01:12:43):
And I don't know, I think a lot of kids
seeing a guy skate around in a Minion's.

Speaker 2 (01:12:47):
Costume will probably think that's pretty cool. So good.

Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
Now that being said, he's from Spain, so I hope
he falls not I don't want him to tear everything.
It's just one little thing.

Speaker 2 (01:13:02):
I hate to say. That was my first reaction when
hearing about his drama with the copyright claim. I'm like, well,
what country is he fro like, sorry, rules not American?

Speaker 1 (01:13:13):
Yeah, so yeah, I'm glad he can do it. I
just hope he doesn't do it well or as well
as whatever our people do.

Speaker 2 (01:13:21):
So we'll see.

Speaker 1 (01:13:24):
Kind of scanning some of the other sit there's so
much curling Boston. Paul is going to be ecstatic. I
think he loves the curling. He loves curling. This is
the only the only two sports he ever emails me
about with the Olympics are curling and women's beach volleyball.
Apparently he's a big women's beach volleyball enthusiast.

Speaker 2 (01:13:43):
You know, when I lived in Salt Lake City, I
had a Mormon friend in Salt Lake City who really
tried to get me into two things. Rock climbing, like
bare handed rock climbing. Oh yeah, and curl into that too.
I used to teach that for the beginner course and curling,
like super into curling. And I'm like, what is it
He's trying to explain my can't do that.

Speaker 1 (01:14:01):
The rock climbing dude, that's I was never in better shape.

Speaker 2 (01:14:04):
Yeah, I was going to say, those dudes were like
in super good shape. Like, so I'm not free solo
climb the Taipei tower guy. But like, once you can
get into some intermediate runs do it comfortably, you start
noticing the game, so to speak, and uh, the upper
body strength that it will give you and leg strength
for that matter, plus skiing if you're skiing at the
same time. I was doing a lot of this during
that period. I was living in Breckenridge or in Colorado

(01:14:26):
after college, skiing and rock climbing. Man, and you never
felt better, So you never got into either. What was
the what was the objection? I was Yeah, no, So
I was really big at the time with this thing
called alcohol. I was a big fan of it, and
it's sort of got in the way of doing other things.

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
Oh yeah, well that will. I don't want to rock
climb drunk. You can once, right, you can do it
once to be I think you know you could curl
drunk though, to be fun.

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
Yeah, no, you definitely could. Because watching the last Winter Olympics,
you know, I remember scanning the chance and suddenly stopping
because there was like four dudes in the ice with
brooms that looked like they were the old Chicago Bears
SNL guys. And again they like won silver, didn't they Yeah,
And they all kind of look like, yeah, you have
the same bill first the first iterations really going back
to yours was like it was like going to a

(01:15:16):
dive bar and get seen dudes.

Speaker 1 (01:15:18):
Off work of the factory, but are just really good
at it. So uh yeah, so you're like, I can do.

Speaker 2 (01:15:24):
That this past year, Yeah, I know I could do that,
I tell you. Yeah, I was trying to think of
the worst events to do.

Speaker 1 (01:15:29):
Uh drunk the bye probably wouldn't do the biathlon drunk
in the Winter Olympics. That's the one where you ski
and then shoot rifles. I don't think that's gonna work
out for you. Well, probably work out for you, just
not spectators.

Speaker 2 (01:15:41):
So there's that.

Speaker 1 (01:15:42):
But yeah, no, they're good. They're getting that underway. How
dare they cover up our Super Bowl? But you know,
what's done is done, and the Mayor Milan is just
I don't know if you've seen anything.

Speaker 2 (01:15:53):
It's just a giant moonbat.

Speaker 4 (01:15:54):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (01:15:55):
Oh excuse me, I'm sorry, Boston Paul Brazilian Beach women's
beach Volleyball. I did not mean to defame you.

Speaker 2 (01:16:05):
Well, let me tell you.

Speaker 1 (01:16:06):
You go down there and it's a watch it. You
can watch it live if you want. Also, the beaches
in Brazil. You've never seen a beach so crowded in
your life that you can't see sand.

Speaker 2 (01:16:17):
In some places. So AnyWho, all right, let me let
me flip back to the audio.

Speaker 1 (01:16:23):
I promised you, Cauz it's it's funny and it's interesting.
So first and foremost, and we've talked about on this show,
the I cannot fathom working in an environment where all
day one at work and possibly if they could locate
my hotel all day when I'm not at work, I

(01:16:44):
am inundated with screaming, whistles and people screaming, and that
is by design. There is a tactical and a psychological
there's tactical and psychological advantages to inundating your enemy with
constant sound and chaos. Look at look it up. This
is this is strategic militarily. It's what we do with

(01:17:06):
hostage situations like with Noriega and Panama, where we blast
the music ross you're reading a book where they use
sound to sack a town.

Speaker 2 (01:17:16):
I think, right, wasn't that a thing with some horns
not whistle? Was? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:17:20):
Yeah, long time ago, right, a few years back, Yeah, yeah,
a few years back. So, but in a more modern iteration,
it is tactically a thing, and it's these protesters know
what any of the ones who have a modicum of
training and buy into this understand what's up here and
so they understand while the whistles are quot there's just
a warning device.

Speaker 2 (01:17:41):
What you're doing is you're creating these scenarios.

Speaker 1 (01:17:43):
And I think it's part of what happened with Pretty,
if we're being honest, I think I think a combination
of Pretty and also Preddy being a known dude right
where he had assaulted officers on video before, and then
him rolling up in there, and I'm possessing that particular
model of pistol which may or may not have accidentally discharged.

(01:18:07):
Coupled with the absolute chaos around you, there's a reason.
Ross you ever see like one of those documentaries where
they're covering like seal training, right, you see guys with
the logs and they're getting screamed at and their sleep deprivation. Well,
part of that training is they inundate them with absolute chaos,

(01:18:27):
with limited sleep for extended periods of time. And then
they pull him in there and like, you get punished
first if you fall asleep before a certain time, but
then they're having them do like math problems and stuff
because it cognitively impacts you. So you do this all day,
every day to these agents, and then they're in a situation,
a chaotic situation where they're trying to arrest somebody, others

(01:18:49):
are attacking, they've recently been assaulted by this guy already.
And then a gun is in the mix, either through
accidental discharge or observing it and clearing it while people
are shooting gun or screaming gun.

Speaker 2 (01:19:03):
While all the chaos.

Speaker 1 (01:19:05):
It's a lot harder for people to think and produce
the most cognitively correct thoughts and to stick with whatever
it is.

Speaker 2 (01:19:14):
This is, this is like.

Speaker 1 (01:19:15):
This is one oh one stuff, and that's why it's
a tactic being used. But some of the agents occasionally
have just taken now to figuring out how to trigger
the moon bats, to which I also think is hilarious.
And I want you to understand the weird place we
are right now. This audio I'm gonna play for you,
and I'm gonna explain visually what's going on. You have

(01:19:37):
a group of white transactivists, although one of them might
be Asian actually remember, but but the one that the
officers interacting with is it is a white dude in address. Okay,
the officer is clearly a giant black dude who's just
who's being very calm about lot calmer night could be

(01:19:57):
who figures out uh one thing he can say and
it triggers the whole gaggle of these you know, these
these the protesters. Well, but you have to understand there
white dude in a dress screaming at a giant black
dude that he's a house and word with a hard

(01:20:18):
r what this is where we are? And the dude
just sits there and takes it and stride and figures
out how to trigger him. But just just the sheer
audacity of that. But listen to this exchange, okay, and.

Speaker 2 (01:20:32):
We should be what you like, we should rip people
apart from that fam.

Speaker 6 (01:20:38):
Are you a man?

Speaker 2 (01:20:41):
Is that a question? Wow?

Speaker 1 (01:20:45):
You were just screaming house and word at him, and
you're you're bothered that he he correctly guessed your gender?
Good lord man. So yeah, yeah, I've seen a few
instances where the officers are saying stuff back and people
get absolutely triggered by it. But I that was just

(01:21:06):
the hour. All five of them are just taking them
and they can't fathom that this guy would say it
to them, this person that they've been following around calling
a murder and threatening to harm and also throwing the
racial stuff at him. They can't fathom that the guy
would say anything back to him.

Speaker 2 (01:21:21):
The thing that I'm saying is there you see a
lot of people on the left where they're having a
hard time computing or understanding why you know, a black
person or why a Hispanic or Latina person would be
an ICE agent. I'll tell you what.

Speaker 1 (01:21:32):
People who don't understand why people within the Latin community
would be part of ICE or the military any of
that don't spend much time around.

Speaker 2 (01:21:39):
I don't know. Maybe maybe because they worked their asses
off to get here, they stood around, they paid their dues,
they didn't disrespect the law. And then suddenly if somebody,
you know, just breaking that law, the first thing they
do to come in here is disrespect the law in
the country, and they just but ahead of everybody. It showed,
which shows you and the work you put into become
an American citizen. Complete disrespect. Yes, maybe has something to

(01:22:00):
do about that. And then when you're here maybe factors right.
And then when you're here, you're using taxpayer benefits that
you don't pay into, which I don't know is stealing.
And I'm causing everything the Skyrocket housing and now that
Latino family that came here the right way, suddenly can't
afford housing. Oh, I don't know, maybe something to do
with that, yeah, maybeit I don't know a little bit.

Speaker 1 (01:22:17):
Or you know, they're just their race traders, is what
they throw at them. All right, we gotta we got
it with the other cut coming up, So hang on,
this is in Pennsylvania. I was trying to rack my breath.
Let me let me be very clear here. Uh, just
so you know the policy here if you if you're
even thinking of self harm, you need to talk to somebody.
If youn't have somebody to talk to, there are a

(01:22:38):
lot of options out there.

Speaker 2 (01:22:39):
I don't wish that upon it.

Speaker 1 (01:22:40):
I don't wish that upon my worst enemy, because it
doesn't just impact you, it impacts all these people around
you too. And as anyone who's ever had to deal
with a family member or a friend where this is transpired,
it's it's awful. And then there's the other part where
people who do this in public I do I get
really really mad about. And it's because I had to
cover this story many years ago where a guy walked

(01:23:03):
into a park that was full of children with shotgun,
sat down on a bench and you know, attempted to
suck started. And you know, how dare you with all
the kids around, But this one is so gruesome in
the nature that like.

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
It's all right.

Speaker 1 (01:23:21):
So it happened at an olive garden, No seriously, at
a Pennsylvania olive garden. One of the employees decided that
he was going to end it all. So, according to
the Pennsylvania State Police, the employee thrust his head into
the deep friar and it worked. He was able to

(01:23:46):
successfully kill himself. He was a cook there by the way,
I mean, I can't like, there's a thousand different other ways, bro,
I can't even imagine that.

Speaker 2 (01:24:02):
But then I'm reading the rest.

Speaker 1 (01:24:03):
Of the story, like, like you know, on this show,
we're fans of the Olive Guard, Right, it's clearly been
it's clearly a theme. I don't know that I could
eat at this location ever again. And they said that
they're gonna have it open in two days.

Speaker 2 (01:24:18):
Quote or no, it's already reopened.

Speaker 6 (01:24:20):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:24:21):
The manager, the manager of the Olive Guard and report
here said that they closed for just two days, but
we cannot disclose any information. I yeah, there's no way
I'm going to eat it. That all up yeah, like
you said, off the air, even if you like bring
in new equipment, well yeah, even if I watch you
tear it out and put it back in, I'm just there,
you'd be right.

Speaker 2 (01:24:40):
What did they fry a lot?

Speaker 1 (01:24:41):
I guess the klamari, the little lasagna? Yeah, I don't generally.
Generally if I eat there, I'm not gonna eat fried food.
So just because I like the meat oh yeah, you
and I both like the meatballs. But damn man, what
do you what now? Do you think it was or
do you think it was a hit from Carabas? That's
a positive? I mean, yeah, that it is possible. They're

(01:25:03):
like your food is too good compared to ours.

Speaker 2 (01:25:05):
Just because you know what, you watch these cooking shows
like Hell's Kitchen and Stuff when or like Kitchen Nightmares. Yeah,
where they have to shut down the restaurant and go
out and tell people that are eating, hey, you need
to leave. Can you imagine you're sitting there and you're
enjoying your your food. You're sitting there. You feel like family. Right.

Speaker 1 (01:25:23):
Oh, that's the other thing you talked about, how it
affects a family. The chefs are trained to tuscan you're
enjoying your meal and suddenly they come out and they're like, hey,
you need to leave, and you're like, well why, And
they won't tell you that day, but then you'll see
it in the news a week later or whatever. You know,
it'd be even worse if you're sitting by the kitchen
and you're like, something smells good in there, right, you
just commented to your wife or whatever. Is that a

(01:25:45):
special what's going on there?

Speaker 2 (01:25:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:25:47):
It's just just how But also, and here's the thing,
this is the selfish nature of it. Can you imagine
being all the rest of the staff there, you know,
this cook, I don't know what's going on like in
the background here, we don't know a lot because it's
classes a suicide.

Speaker 2 (01:26:02):
Yeah, they better be paying for your therapy.

Speaker 1 (01:26:04):
Yes, man, if you're one of the other cooks or
the you know, the endless flow of busters and dishwashers
and waiters and waitresses, you know, everything that makes a
restaurant work, and then that's going on back there. Also,
it's to your point where they're shutting it down. If
you're eating soup salad, it's unlimited, and then they go
to shut it down, like now, there's probably gonna be

(01:26:25):
some Karen esque person or no, we're not using Karen anymore.
But you get the gist, like, I'm not leaving. It's
a loophole. It says it's unlimited. What is the new
name they said, they're saying that's replacing Karen. Yeah, Jessica, right, Jessica, yes, yes, yes,
so again good news for your sister.

Speaker 2 (01:26:42):
So I don't have to lift that nightmare anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:26:45):
But regardless, you know what I'm talking about where some
guy gets huffy and they're like, oh no, I only
got I'm only on my third soup helping. And then
at that point, if you're the manager, I think maybe
you have to tell them what happened to win the
argument because he's like, I didn't calling my lawyer.

Speaker 2 (01:26:59):
It says, damn it, I'm holding you to it.

Speaker 1 (01:27:01):
I refuse to leave, and they're like, oh, okay, well, hey,
you want to pop back in the kitchen for a moment,
And then you just see that guy running out of there.

Speaker 2 (01:27:08):
I mean, what kind of a dark place do you
need to be in to dip your head into the
the fryar I freak out when I have to put
like drops in my eyes right like it freaks me out.
It's one of my like things that I can't I've
always said, like, I can't have contacts for that reason,
because I don't like stuff. It's uncomfortable, Yeah, uncomfortable, and
you're at a point, you're at such a low spot

(01:27:30):
where you're like, I'm dipping my head in the fryer,
like I can't comprehend that kind of horror.

Speaker 1 (01:27:35):
No, No, it's and like and the only time you
ever see this is like movies right where they're in
the kitchen.

Speaker 2 (01:27:41):
It sounds like something you'd see out of Saw. Do
you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 (01:27:46):
I literally watched something the other day. It was in
the Shadow of the Moon. Are you familiar with This movie?
Came out a few years ago. It's even now, so it's.

Speaker 2 (01:27:55):
I don't want to ruin it for you. It's really good.

Speaker 1 (01:27:57):
It's it's a sci fi e movie and it has
a time travel element. I think it's one of the
better representations I've seen of time travel. Though it's I
don't want to ruin anything for you. It's really good.
It's got the guy who played opposite in Narcos, the
White Guy.

Speaker 2 (01:28:15):
He's in there, and.

Speaker 1 (01:28:18):
It's again it's I just think it's a real I
thought it was a really really really good movie. You'll
notice people in there. It's about police and Philadelphia, and
then there's some time travel and I'm not going to
ruin it, but there's one scene where a dude literally
is killed who is a cook back there, and like
that's what happens, but like he's killed in a different way.
And I've seen a ton of like kitchen fight scenes

(01:28:40):
like Jean Claude Van Damn kind of stuff where some
guy gets like there in there.

Speaker 2 (01:28:44):
It's the prison scene from Watchman with Rorshakros the hotaway. Yeah,
well yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:28:51):
You're I'm not in here with you, You're in here
with me. But like this is real, man, and this
is like lunch rush or so, no, what was it
four pm when the police got there, so just after
the launch trush.

Speaker 2 (01:29:03):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:29:04):
And by the way, other people were injured, but I
just I forgot let me make sure point this out.
Other staff members were injured because what would what do
you think they did? What they saw their coworker with
his head in the fryer. They went over to pull
him out of there. And now you're getting now, of
course there's hot grease getting flipped everywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:29:22):
So other coworkers are getting.

Speaker 1 (01:29:23):
Burned because of this, because hey, I don't know what
they think this in that moment, like oh my god,
they are are our coworker fell in the fryer.

Speaker 2 (01:29:30):
You're gonna if you're that franchise owner, I think you're screw.
You have to like just you're a Chili's now you
need to open a Chili's or something like. You got
to raise the building.

Speaker 1 (01:29:39):
So you know what I'm saying, because olive garden, you
can't make a chilies look like an olive garden or
an olive garden look like a Chili's because you went
all in on the tusk and stuff, although some of
the new ones you can't. What do you think of
that rosta? Do you you seen some of the new
olive gardens who don't have any of that tuscan motif outside.

Speaker 2 (01:29:57):
It's all very plain gy. Yeah it annoys me. Yeah,
I mean I don't like that at all.

Speaker 1 (01:30:01):
And I understand why that this is the thing where
all these fast casuals were going.

Speaker 2 (01:30:05):
They're turning all their building. If you ever wondered, you
know how come all these restaurants now just look like
plain Jaine Squares. It's because when that business, you know,
inevitably goes belly up, they can put another business in
there and they don't have to change the way it looks.

Speaker 1 (01:30:18):
Yeah, although I always thought it was amusing where you're like,
go to a dentist office and you're like, this is
a pizza hut right where people have repurposed these things,

back into pizza huts.
