Speaker 1 (00:00):
Nothing can just happen.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Everything has to be analyzed and be made into something stupid.
So yesterday Trump got a Tesla and liberals reacted to
the news saying, this is going to ruin evs. EV's
will never be good again after this. I don't know
if they remember this, but President Biden got a Ford.
Remember he took a test drive and Afford lightning the.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Oh yeah, didn't we suspect that there was somebody else
in the frop seat of the car driving there?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Was?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
It had a second steering wheel.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, it was one of those what is it like
a student driver cars? Biden took a Ford's electric truck
out for a test drive. And then what happened with
those trucks?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
They they recalled all of them and they didn't sell.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
For every truck they sold, they lost thirty thousand dollars
or something crazy like that.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
Did some of.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Them catch fire in a garage occasionally?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I mean not so that it was important to bring
it up or anything.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
So now Trump's got a Tesla, And when he was
trying to out yesterday he said, you think Biden could
get into that car? I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
I wouldn't know what to do with it.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
If he did, well, I probably wouldn't know.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
But anyway, I will say though, I have a friend
that recently rented a Tesla, never been in one before,
and he had to have the guy at the rental
dealership come out and show him how to make it
go because it's always on. That's the tricky part. It's like,
you know, like an Alexa, like your car. You had
(01:27):
to get in, do the key thing, push the button,
put your foot on the break, blah blah blah. Now
you know it started. You get into Alexa. A Tesla
apparently it's just a video screen and some kind of
a little steward wheel like on an airplane, and what
do you do?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I like Elon Musk, I like Trump, but knowing that
Trump has a Tesla and it still doesn't make me.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Want to get an Evy. You don't want one.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I don't know what about you, Billy Ed, would you
do it?
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Probably aint gonna get one of them cybertruck, But I
ain't against it. I just like to see a few
more charges in stations around in case I wanted to
go further than to the store and back. You know,
do you even have a charging station out in the
country where you have no idea, there must be something
couldn't need to you enough to do. Some Democrats probably
going to want to blow it up. Well, that seems
(02:15):
what they'll do.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
You.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I like Elon, but I still not enough to buy
a Tesla. I will say this now that the tariffs
are coming and people are talking about how some of
these things are gonna you know, things you buy will
become more expensive. It looks like three of the top
ten most American vehicles based on where they're manufactured and
where the parts come from, are Tesla. If that's something, Yeah,
(02:38):
say what you will about Tesla, but they make them
in America. They use American parts well, right, which probably
explains why Elon Musk is so on board with these tariffs.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I mean at least part of it. Because where do
you think is rockets are built? Probably Mexico, right, I
have no idea that, my kid, they're made in They're
made in Texas. We know exactly where they're made. Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
So Maga Land is hotly divided over the excommunication of
Thomas Massey. Yesterday, the Republican from the state of Kentucky.
Trump says he wants someone to primary Thomas because Thomas
wouldn't sign that bill. But that bill sucked. It was
a sucking bill. Had it passed anyway, Yeah, it didn't matter.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I don't know why. It's Massie's problem.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
He was the only Republican I guess that went against it.
But then the Democrat was for it as well, so
you know they had that.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Some guy got a big mouth billy bass, remember those
billy and he hooked it up to AI. Huh AYI
he got artificial intelligence. He put inside the robot of
his big mouth billy bass.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Progress.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
What a billy billy? What billy? What's up? Prot How
you doing?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Ready to pump?
Speaker 6 (03:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
No, no, no, no no, I just need some advice.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
How do you difficult personalities?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
HM?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Well yeah, stay calm and assertive, set clear boundaries and remember.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You can't change them.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
What you can't control your reaction. He's right about that.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I think the fish is doing a really bad Arnold impression.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
No, no, no, it's doing an impersonation of Dana Carveyssion.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
That's right. Yeah, yeah, did you say I'll be back?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
No? No, but it's close to it. But anyway, it's
pretty bad. Honestly, I kind of want one. You want
that but not an ev Well I would get a.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Different voice for it.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
But yeah, big mouth belly bassett the AI that's cool.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Well, when you get one, get to see you'd want one?
To say, I wouldn't see. But when you go down
to pick up a Teshla, go ahead and get two
of those and you throw me one. I don't think
I'm gonna get a Tesla. They're expensive. And then where
would I charge it? Nobody knows.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
My biggest problem with the charging stations isn't even finding one.
It's the fact that I have to stand there with
the other charging station people.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I know. Have you ever looked at them?
Speaker 5 (05:02):
No? Never been over there?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
You got you don't just show up and charge like
it doesn't just happen like you're pumping gas?
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Like some of the purple haired green haired girls, and
they got the cow nosering and all that kind of
crap going on. Yeah, and you know, but they're the
ones that are saying, don't get a Tesla now, so
they're not gonna be there anymore. See if if the
the purple haired girls show up at a Tesla charging station,
it might look like they agree with Trump, they can't
(05:30):
do that, so they can't charge the car no more.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
But don't those charging stations work on other kinds of
evs or do they have ones that are.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Specifically they're specifically Tesla really, which is a kind of
a problem. You know, you've got a different kind of
EV and you pull up to a charging stations like, ah,
that one doesn't fit. How many charging stations can you
get to on the limited amount of battery you have
left before you can't even get to the one that works.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
There's got to be an answer to this. Does anybody
out there have an electric vehicle? And can you call
and explain it to I say, it's sick, I love WJ.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
This is going to end up just like that Catholic
church and the alligator problem. Some people go say yes,
and some people go say no, and some people go
say both or neither.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
They don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I my question. I think that there's a universal standard,
but I don't know. I don't know because and the
reason I think that is totally anecdotal. Because in the
park by my house where I run, there's three EV
charging stations, and I noticed that once in a while
there's a Tesla there once in a while there's a
different kind of EV and then but most of the
time nobody's using them.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Oh really, yeah, So can I park there if nobody wants.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
To use it?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I have wondered that every time, because that park gets fault.
It gets very cross, especially on a nice day.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
If I just pulled up in my truck and got
the little charging station, I guess it's got a little
handle or something, the electric thing.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Yeah, and I just shove.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
That in there where the where the gas goes and
just pretend just flip open the gas lid there, just
stick it in there and then go, wait.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Here's the runner right here, hang on eight six six.
I love to WJ.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Coller.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
What's your first name?
Speaker 4 (07:03):
First name is Chris?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Chris? Do you have an EV?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I do? Actually?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
And you're not embarrassed to admit that in public?
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Why would he be?
Speaker 4 (07:12):
No, sir, I own two of them actually for you.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
The question is is it the same charging stations for
all of them or do some of them have unique
charging stations?
Speaker 4 (07:22):
No, TESLA uses what they call the nats PLOD North
American Charging Standard, and then all of the other EV
issues what's called a CCS one unless you have a
Nissan Leaf that has a different blow too.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
So he just said, he said, most of them have
one standard, but Tesla has its own standard, and then
they are different, and then Nissan has a third standard.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Correct? Basically, it's basically like iPhone versus Android. You have
an iPhone has a proprietary plug, and then you have
Android that has then toplow.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah, but if my phone dies, it doesn't matter if
my car runs out of and what matters if your
phone dies, But you're not like stuck in the middle
of nowhere.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
To take this further back than the electric charging stations
and mobile phones, you remember back when the VCRs were
two different kinds and you had to.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Decide VHS and Beta.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Yeah, that Beta was better, but the BC technically, you know,
from an engineering point of view, Beta was a way
to go. But for some reason, I guess VCR people
had more money to advertise and so it took over.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
No Sony owned Beta, if I'm not mistaken or some company,
and they didn't want people to use it unless they
got paid every time they used it. The people that
came up with the standards for VHS said anyone can
use this for free.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
And so in the end, even though who won Beta.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Is a better quality product, it was the copyrights that
made it too expensive for the trademarks or whatever.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Really didn't didn't do it right?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah, all right, so then I guess Tesla is the
beta Max of evs.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
We don't know yet. You have to see who wins.
You have two options. Option A is to stay with
your wife or the rest of your life. Option B
b b B. I choose being Walton and Johnson Radio Networks.
Everybody freeze.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
We got an animal story, and you know how the
research department tells us everybody loves one of those heartwarming
animal stories.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, I have a heartwarming animal story. We don't have
an intro for that though.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Art warming animal.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Story, animal stories, el fod I love a fun animal Well,
I guess the guy driving his car in Yellowstone, don't
you know they got all these things on social media
showing the idiots sometimes in Yellowstone, but different national parks
love to interact with the wildlife.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
You know, they'll get out there and.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Walk up to a bull, elk, or moose or a
grizzly bear or something, and they'll just think, well, they
look so friendly.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
I just want to get a selfie, that's all.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Well, these these people in Yellowstone were sitting in the car.
These aren't the morons that get out of their car.
These guys were still in their car. And I don't
know if you go through a national park with wildlife
and all, but when they spot wildlife, everybody just stops
and blocks the road so we can see a bear
or a moose or whatever.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
And these people are driving down the road Yellowstone Beautiful area,
and they all stopped the car because here comes a
big old herd of buffalo or what do we call him, Kenny.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
That'd be a bison. He's the seconds as a bird.
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
And these bison, they look like they're being in the video,
it looks like they're being herded by somebody that works
at Yellowstone, because there's a couple of trucks kind of
in the back of them, kind of driving them, you know,
the way cowboys would or horseback.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
And so the.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Cars are all stopped on the road. The bison are
charging along stampede, you know. And wanted a bison bigger.
I mean, these things can go two thousand plus. This
this one decided that car was in his way instead
of going around, and he's had enough of these people
in their stupid cars, and he just slams head first
(11:00):
into the side of this guy's rental car because it's Yellowstone.
You know, who drives their own car to Yellowstone? And
I mean that buffalo hit it so hard. I think
the guy dropped his phone while he was recording and
broke his windshield all the way over on the driver's side.
After that got hit on the passenger side. And of course
(11:20):
everybody's saying, well, you know, I hope he got the
insurance at the rental car place, because that's going to costing.
Buffalo just decided you need to move, get out the way.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
You know.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
They say your own insurance is good enough. But I
always wonder if I'm always suspicious of that. I wonder
because if you use a credit card to rent the car,
which you do, Uh, doesn't the credit card company offer
insurance for rentals? Nobody knows, And the rental car company
certainly isn't going to, you know, be honest with you
about that. They'd rather sell you the insurance.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, they want you to pay for something you probably
didn't need in the first place. Cars on the other hand.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
If you're gonna go hang out at Yellowstone with grizzly
bears and moves alk bison, you know, uh, maybe that
particular rental car, maybe you throw the extra money out
for insurance.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
What the hell?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah exactly?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Maybe you do, maybe you don't, huh, But then you know,
ask yourself this, If you think you're likely to need
the insurance, maybe you ought to get it because your
real insurance is probably gonna jack up the rates.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
If you that's true. You know, if you're the last
thing you want to do is make a claim. I mean,
you've got insurance in case something happens. But if something
happens and you make a claim, then then you can't
have insurance no more.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
So what's a boy?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
You know?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
And I got a question. I'm gonna air out some
of my problems on the radio. I want to get
personal personal stuff. A friend of mine recently was a
windy day. It was gusty, inclement weather we had recently,
and we're at the gym and he opens his car
door and it leaves a little scuff.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
On my door.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
On my car door, the wind took it. Yeah, and
just he wouldn't normally have slammed into your car.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Right, No, no, no, it's just his door. The wind pulled his
door into my and it left a little tiny dent.
I mean very little. But on the other hand, a
densit dent. It was the act of God.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I like my car. I didn't have the dent there before.
I don't think you can blame him. I believe that's
a act of God.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Well, you know, he offered to pay for it. The
thing is, he didn't make a lot of money. He's
just like a public school teacher.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
You have poor friends. Well he's a you know, he's
a hang out with all the congratulate.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Good for you, somebody. You know, you need to be
friends with poor people. I guess he.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Offered to pay for it. So I go get a
quote on it. They're like thirteen hundred bucks. I'm doing
it for one thousand, and I thought that's a lot
of money to ask a public school teacher for for
a tiny dent on my car.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Does leave a little hot Did you get multiple office?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I got two different quotes. What they both say about
twelve hundred and thirteen hundred bucks? Yeah, all together? You know,
well it's the same amount of money. You know, it's
probably not that differ. They're aware of what their competition ship.
So the question for you is is hush. There's a
part of me that don't want to do anything about it,
but I also don't.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Why are you making carries?
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Nothing's licking my leg?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Dog is in here. Yeah, that's because you're salty.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
My dog is licking mister Kenneth's leg because mister Kenneth
has after I work out.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
It's probably the lotion.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
He starts licking my leg after I run around the
park because I'm sweaty, and yeah, that's you.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
It's the salt.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I think for me, it's probably the lotion. It's flavored.
Is it alo verra or something like that?
Speaker 5 (14:19):
No, but it could be.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
My question for you is is how big does a
debt need to be? Like, if it's a tiny ding,
do you just leave it?
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Huh? You leave it? You know, there's a part of
you that don't want to do anything about it. He's
a good guy.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
I don't want to charge him anything, and I don't
want to pay out a pocket for it. No, you
don't want to do that. And you don't want to
go to an insurance route. No, even if you deductible
is under they're still gonna raizy rates a minute you
hit him up for a claim. It's some insurance people, man, right,
exactly if we did that? Do you know you don't
do you have a homeowner's insurance? I mean your home
(14:52):
is part of a bigger building. Don't know if you
have individual homeowners insurance like a person that has an
individual home.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I have both.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, there's an insurance policy for the building and then
I have individually.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Yeah, but that's for contents mainly. I mean, while you
own your portion of the building, you don't own the building, right,
so you can't really insure it that way. What's what's
aggravating about homeowners insurance? Home owners? I said, I saw
that look on your faith.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
It did sound like it today.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
I thought you thought that is that the insurance company
can decide how much your home is worth or how
much it would cost to rebuild it if it were,
you know, destroyed by fire, float or whatever, and you
can't argue with them about that. You can't know if
the insurance company says your home is worth half a
(15:42):
million dollars or it would cost a half a million
dollars to replace it. Today and then you look at
that and you say, but you know, everybody that's appraised it,
all the appraisal people say it's only worth four hundred thousand.
You're saying five hundred, which makes the amount you have
to pay for insurance go up. Naturally, homes valued higher,
insurance premium is higher, and you can't tell the insurance
(16:05):
company I don't want to insure it for half a
million dollars.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Because then they just won't do it.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
They get to set the rate because they get to
set their idea of the value of your home. But
you know what they'll never do. They'll never buy your
house for what they say it's worth.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
No, I asked them the other day. I just because
I have dealing with this with the insurance. If it's
worth that much, if you think it's worth half million dollars,
then give me a half million dollars for it.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Oh no, No, doesn't work that way.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Hey, my mom just sent me a text message about
the animal story you just told.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Oh not about me, No, not about you. It's about
the bison story you just told. She's familiar with bison,
am I right? She wants you to know that.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
When she was younger, there was another radio show she
used to listen to that also did animal stories.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Really yeah, isn't that helpful? Oh my god, thank you Donald,
thanks for letting us know that is okay. Let's see lotion,
check paper town, check something unfun to look at.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Oh yeah, here we go Walton and Johnson
Nothing can just happen.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Everything has to be analyzed and be made into something stupid.
So yesterday Trump got a Tesla and liberals reacted to
the news saying, this is going to ruin evs. EV's
will never be good again after this. I don't know
if they remember this, but President Biden got a Ford.
Remember he took a test drive and Afford lightning the.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Oh yeah, didn't we suspect that there was somebody else
in the frop seat of the car driving there?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Was?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
It had a second steering wheel.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, it was one of those what is it like
a student driver cars? Biden took a Ford's electric truck
out for a test drive. And then what happened with
those trucks?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
They they recalled all of them and they didn't sell.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
For every truck they sold, they lost thirty thousand dollars
or something crazy like that.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
Did some of.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Them catch fire in a garage occasionally?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I mean not so that it was important to bring
it up or anything.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
So now Trump's got a Tesla, And when he was
trying to out yesterday he said, you think Biden could
get into that car? I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
I wouldn't know what to do with it.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
If he did, well, I probably wouldn't know.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
But anyway, I will say though, I have a friend
that recently rented a Tesla, never been in one before,
and he had to have the guy at the rental
dealership come out and show him how to make it
go because it's always on. That's the tricky part. It's like,
you know, like an Alexa, like your car. You had
(01:27):
to get in, do the key thing, push the button,
put your foot on the break, blah blah blah. Now
you know it started. You get into Alexa. A Tesla
apparently it's just a video screen and some kind of
a little steward wheel like on an airplane, and what
do you do?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I like Elon Musk, I like Trump, but knowing that
Trump has a Tesla and it still doesn't make me.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Want to get an Evy. You don't want one.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I don't know what about you, Billy Ed, would you
do it?
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Probably aint gonna get one of them cybertruck, But I
ain't against it. I just like to see a few
more charges in stations around in case I wanted to
go further than to the store and back. You know,
do you even have a charging station out in the
country where you have no idea, there must be something
couldn't need to you enough to do. Some Democrats probably
going to want to blow it up. Well, that seems
(02:15):
what they'll do.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
You.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I like Elon, but I still not enough to buy
a Tesla. I will say this now that the tariffs
are coming and people are talking about how some of
these things are gonna you know, things you buy will
become more expensive. It looks like three of the top
ten most American vehicles based on where they're manufactured and
where the parts come from, are Tesla. If that's something, Yeah,
(02:38):
say what you will about Tesla, but they make them
in America. They use American parts well, right, which probably
explains why Elon Musk is so on board with these tariffs.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I mean at least part of it. Because where do
you think is rockets are built? Probably Mexico, right, I
have no idea that, my kid, they're made in They're
made in Texas. We know exactly where they're made. Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
So Maga Land is hotly divided over the excommunication of
Thomas Massey. Yesterday, the Republican from the state of Kentucky.
Trump says he wants someone to primary Thomas because Thomas
wouldn't sign that bill. But that bill sucked. It was
a sucking bill. Had it passed anyway, Yeah, it didn't matter.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I don't know why. It's Massie's problem.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
He was the only Republican I guess that went against it.
But then the Democrat was for it as well, so
you know they had that.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Some guy got a big mouth billy bass, remember those
billy and he hooked it up to AI. Huh AYI
he got artificial intelligence. He put inside the robot of
his big mouth billy bass.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Progress.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
What a billy billy? What billy? What's up? Prot How
you doing?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Ready to pump?
Speaker 6 (03:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
No, no, no, no no, I just need some advice.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
How do you difficult personalities?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
HM?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Well yeah, stay calm and assertive, set clear boundaries and remember.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You can't change them.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
What you can't control your reaction. He's right about that.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I think the fish is doing a really bad Arnold impression.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
No, no, no, it's doing an impersonation of Dana Carveyssion.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
That's right. Yeah, yeah, did you say I'll be back?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
No? No, but it's close to it. But anyway, it's
pretty bad. Honestly, I kind of want one. You want
that but not an ev Well I would get a.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Different voice for it.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
But yeah, big mouth belly bassett the AI that's cool.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Well, when you get one, get to see you'd want one?
To say, I wouldn't see. But when you go down
to pick up a Teshla, go ahead and get two
of those and you throw me one. I don't think
I'm gonna get a Tesla. They're expensive. And then where
would I charge it? Nobody knows.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
My biggest problem with the charging stations isn't even finding one.
It's the fact that I have to stand there with
the other charging station people.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I know. Have you ever looked at them?
Speaker 5 (05:02):
No? Never been over there?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
You got you don't just show up and charge like
it doesn't just happen like you're pumping gas?
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Like some of the purple haired green haired girls, and
they got the cow nosering and all that kind of
crap going on. Yeah, and you know, but they're the
ones that are saying, don't get a Tesla now, so
they're not gonna be there anymore. See if if the
the purple haired girls show up at a Tesla charging station,
it might look like they agree with Trump, they can't
(05:30):
do that, so they can't charge the car no more.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
But don't those charging stations work on other kinds of
evs or do they have ones that are.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Specifically they're specifically Tesla really, which is a kind of
a problem. You know, you've got a different kind of
EV and you pull up to a charging stations like, ah,
that one doesn't fit. How many charging stations can you
get to on the limited amount of battery you have
left before you can't even get to the one that works.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
There's got to be an answer to this. Does anybody
out there have an electric vehicle? And can you call
and explain it to I say, it's sick, I love WJ.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
This is going to end up just like that Catholic
church and the alligator problem. Some people go say yes,
and some people go say no, and some people go
say both or neither.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
They don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I my question. I think that there's a universal standard,
but I don't know. I don't know because and the
reason I think that is totally anecdotal. Because in the
park by my house where I run, there's three EV
charging stations, and I noticed that once in a while
there's a Tesla there once in a while there's a
different kind of EV and then but most of the
time nobody's using them.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Oh really, yeah, So can I park there if nobody wants.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
To use it?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I have wondered that every time, because that park gets fault.
It gets very cross, especially on a nice day.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
If I just pulled up in my truck and got
the little charging station, I guess it's got a little
handle or something, the electric thing.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Yeah, and I just shove.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
That in there where the where the gas goes and
just pretend just flip open the gas lid there, just
stick it in there and then go, wait.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Here's the runner right here, hang on eight six six.
I love to WJ.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Coller.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
What's your first name?
Speaker 4 (07:03):
First name is Chris?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Chris? Do you have an EV?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I do? Actually?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
And you're not embarrassed to admit that in public?
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Why would he be?
Speaker 4 (07:12):
No, sir, I own two of them actually for you.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
The question is is it the same charging stations for
all of them or do some of them have unique
charging stations?
Speaker 4 (07:22):
No, TESLA uses what they call the nats PLOD North
American Charging Standard, and then all of the other EV
issues what's called a CCS one unless you have a
Nissan Leaf that has a different blow too.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
So he just said, he said, most of them have
one standard, but Tesla has its own standard, and then
they are different, and then Nissan has a third standard.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Correct? Basically, it's basically like iPhone versus Android. You have
an iPhone has a proprietary plug, and then you have
Android that has then toplow.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah, but if my phone dies, it doesn't matter if
my car runs out of and what matters if your
phone dies, But you're not like stuck in the middle
of nowhere.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
To take this further back than the electric charging stations
and mobile phones, you remember back when the VCRs were
two different kinds and you had to.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Decide VHS and Beta.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Yeah, that Beta was better, but the BC technically, you know,
from an engineering point of view, Beta was a way
to go. But for some reason, I guess VCR people
had more money to advertise and so it took over.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
No Sony owned Beta, if I'm not mistaken or some company,
and they didn't want people to use it unless they
got paid every time they used it. The people that
came up with the standards for VHS said anyone can
use this for free.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
And so in the end, even though who won Beta.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Is a better quality product, it was the copyrights that
made it too expensive for the trademarks or whatever.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Really didn't didn't do it right?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah, all right, so then I guess Tesla is the
beta Max of evs.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
We don't know yet. You have to see who wins.
You have two options. Option A is to stay with
your wife or the rest of your life. Option B
b b B. I choose being Walton and Johnson Radio Networks.
Everybody freeze.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
We got an animal story, and you know how the
research department tells us everybody loves one of those heartwarming
animal stories.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, I have a heartwarming animal story. We don't have
an intro for that though.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Art warming animal.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Story, animal stories, el fod I love a fun animal Well,
I guess the guy driving his car in Yellowstone, don't
you know they got all these things on social media
showing the idiots sometimes in Yellowstone, but different national parks
love to interact with the wildlife.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
You know, they'll get out there and.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Walk up to a bull, elk, or moose or a
grizzly bear or something, and they'll just think, well, they
look so friendly.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
I just want to get a selfie, that's all.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Well, these these people in Yellowstone were sitting in the car.
These aren't the morons that get out of their car.
These guys were still in their car. And I don't
know if you go through a national park with wildlife
and all, but when they spot wildlife, everybody just stops
and blocks the road so we can see a bear
or a moose or whatever.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
And these people are driving down the road Yellowstone Beautiful area,
and they all stopped the car because here comes a
big old herd of buffalo or what do we call him, Kenny.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
That'd be a bison. He's the seconds as a bird.
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
And these bison, they look like they're being in the video,
it looks like they're being herded by somebody that works
at Yellowstone, because there's a couple of trucks kind of
in the back of them, kind of driving them, you know,
the way cowboys would or horseback.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
And so the.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Cars are all stopped on the road. The bison are
charging along stampede, you know. And wanted a bison bigger.
I mean, these things can go two thousand plus. This
this one decided that car was in his way instead
of going around, and he's had enough of these people
in their stupid cars, and he just slams head first
(11:00):
into the side of this guy's rental car because it's Yellowstone.
You know, who drives their own car to Yellowstone? And
I mean that buffalo hit it so hard. I think
the guy dropped his phone while he was recording and
broke his windshield all the way over on the driver's side.
After that got hit on the passenger side. And of course
(11:20):
everybody's saying, well, you know, I hope he got the
insurance at the rental car place, because that's going to costing.
Buffalo just decided you need to move, get out the way.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
You know.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
They say your own insurance is good enough. But I
always wonder if I'm always suspicious of that. I wonder
because if you use a credit card to rent the car,
which you do, Uh, doesn't the credit card company offer
insurance for rentals? Nobody knows, And the rental car company
certainly isn't going to, you know, be honest with you
about that. They'd rather sell you the insurance.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, they want you to pay for something you probably
didn't need in the first place. Cars on the other hand.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
If you're gonna go hang out at Yellowstone with grizzly
bears and moves alk bison, you know, uh, maybe that
particular rental car, maybe you throw the extra money out
for insurance.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
What the hell?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah exactly?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Maybe you do, maybe you don't, huh, But then you know,
ask yourself this, If you think you're likely to need
the insurance, maybe you ought to get it because your
real insurance is probably gonna jack up the rates.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
If you that's true. You know, if you're the last
thing you want to do is make a claim. I mean,
you've got insurance in case something happens. But if something
happens and you make a claim, then then you can't
have insurance no more.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
So what's a boy?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
You know?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
And I got a question. I'm gonna air out some
of my problems on the radio. I want to get
personal personal stuff. A friend of mine recently was a
windy day. It was gusty, inclement weather we had recently,
and we're at the gym and he opens his car
door and it leaves a little scuff.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
On my door.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
On my car door, the wind took it. Yeah, and
just he wouldn't normally have slammed into your car.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Right, No, no, no, it's just his door. The wind pulled his
door into my and it left a little tiny dent.
I mean very little. But on the other hand, a
densit dent. It was the act of God.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I like my car. I didn't have the dent there before.
I don't think you can blame him. I believe that's
a act of God.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Well, you know, he offered to pay for it. The
thing is, he didn't make a lot of money. He's
just like a public school teacher.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
You have poor friends. Well he's a you know, he's
a hang out with all the congratulate.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Good for you, somebody. You know, you need to be
friends with poor people. I guess he.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Offered to pay for it. So I go get a
quote on it. They're like thirteen hundred bucks. I'm doing
it for one thousand, and I thought that's a lot
of money to ask a public school teacher for for
a tiny dent on my car.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Does leave a little hot Did you get multiple office?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I got two different quotes. What they both say about
twelve hundred and thirteen hundred bucks? Yeah, all together? You know,
well it's the same amount of money. You know, it's
probably not that differ. They're aware of what their competition ship.
So the question for you is is hush. There's a
part of me that don't want to do anything about it,
but I also don't.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Why are you making carries?
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Nothing's licking my leg?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Dog is in here. Yeah, that's because you're salty.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
My dog is licking mister Kenneth's leg because mister Kenneth
has after I work out.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
It's probably the lotion.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
He starts licking my leg after I run around the
park because I'm sweaty, and yeah, that's you.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
It's the salt.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I think for me, it's probably the lotion. It's flavored.
Is it alo verra or something like that?
Speaker 5 (14:19):
No, but it could be.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
My question for you is is how big does a
debt need to be? Like, if it's a tiny ding,
do you just leave it?
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Huh? You leave it? You know, there's a part of
you that don't want to do anything about it. He's
a good guy.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
I don't want to charge him anything, and I don't
want to pay out a pocket for it. No, you
don't want to do that. And you don't want to
go to an insurance route. No, even if you deductible
is under they're still gonna raizy rates a minute you
hit him up for a claim. It's some insurance people, man, right,
exactly if we did that? Do you know you don't
do you have a homeowner's insurance? I mean your home
(14:52):
is part of a bigger building. Don't know if you
have individual homeowners insurance like a person that has an
individual home.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I have both.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, there's an insurance policy for the building and then
I have individually.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Yeah, but that's for contents mainly. I mean, while you
own your portion of the building, you don't own the building, right,
so you can't really insure it that way. What's what's
aggravating about homeowners insurance? Home owners? I said, I saw
that look on your faith.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
It did sound like it today.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
I thought you thought that is that the insurance company
can decide how much your home is worth or how
much it would cost to rebuild it if it were,
you know, destroyed by fire, float or whatever, and you
can't argue with them about that. You can't know if
the insurance company says your home is worth half a
(15:42):
million dollars or it would cost a half a million
dollars to replace it. Today and then you look at
that and you say, but you know, everybody that's appraised it,
all the appraisal people say it's only worth four hundred thousand.
You're saying five hundred, which makes the amount you have
to pay for insurance go up. Naturally, homes valued higher,
insurance premium is higher, and you can't tell the insurance
(16:05):
company I don't want to insure it for half a
million dollars.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Because then they just won't do it.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
They get to set the rate because they get to
set their idea of the value of your home. But
you know what they'll never do. They'll never buy your
house for what they say it's worth.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
No, I asked them the other day. I just because
I have dealing with this with the insurance. If it's
worth that much, if you think it's worth half million dollars,
then give me a half million dollars for it.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Oh no, No, doesn't work that way.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Hey, my mom just sent me a text message about
the animal story you just told.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Oh not about me, No, not about you. It's about
the bison story you just told. She's familiar with bison,
am I right? She wants you to know that.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
When she was younger, there was another radio show she
used to listen to that also did animal stories.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Really yeah, isn't that helpful? Oh my god, thank you Donald,
thanks for letting us know that is okay. Let's see lotion,
check paper town, check something unfun to look at.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Oh yeah, here we go Walton and Johnson
