Speaker 1 (00:00):
Incredibly early, but I guess by the weekend it's going
to be like sixty degrees, like it never happened again.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
So but pressing issues here.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Look, everyone is talking about the government shutdown, and I
feel like it's one of these issues that most people
don't understand the inner workings. They probably don't even care
about the inner workings. They just want to be able
to get on their plane and fly to where they
want to fly without some sort of mishap, where they
want to be able to go through TSA without taking
five hours. They want to be able to get this,

(00:31):
get that. And you know, if you're a Republican, you
blame the Democrats. You're a Democratic, you blame the Republicans.
I guess it looks like there's a potential deal in place,
you know, admittedly after the election, when things could have
been done before the election. But that's another topic on that.
But just to kind of explain and kind of summarize
where we are with this and maybe how we got here,

(00:52):
We've got a great guest joining the show right now.
His name is doctor Bo Kabbala. He is an expert
in poly size with a Tarletan state and he joined
right now doctor Kabala.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
How are you.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
I'm great, good afternoon. Thanks so much for having me.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
Hope you're well.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Absolutely, so, I guess again without tell us how we
got here, to tell us what happened, if anything different
than in year's past.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
We always seem to kind of go through this.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
A government's going to get shut down, It usually happens
for a couple of weeks, and then things are fine
and just people get.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
A little bit kind of a numb to the.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Fact that it happens all the time. This was a
little unprecedented. How long it lasted. What's your take on
kind of how we got here?

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Well, absolutely, and I think it was unprecedented. This is
the longest shutdown on record, and we were about to
run up against canceled flights and people not receiving snap benefits.
So I think this was getting increasingly serious, not just
for the American people, but for both parties. You see

(01:52):
the polling with respect to who's blamed by the American
people fairly even split between Republicans and Democrats. And I
think one thing that occurred was the election happened, and
you had in New Jersey and Virginia some unexpected support
for the moderate Democratic position so represented by Mikey, Cheryl
Abigail Spamberger, and I think that may have encouraged five

(02:16):
additional Democrats in the Senate moderates to take this initial vote.
So there's been sixty now in the Senate that have
preliminarily voted to reopen the government. It's not yet that
final vote in the Senate, and it will still have
to go to the House. But I think as we
came closer to Thanksgiving in the holiday season and these
elections happened in New Jersey and Virginia that Tim Kaine,

(02:39):
Dick Durbin, Maggie Hassan, Jean Shaheen, and Jackie Rosen all
kind of reconsidered their position, and so it looks like
we're headed towards the reopening.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Well, yeah, they still have to vote on it. The
problem is kind of what Rocky just stated, is if
you're Republican, you blame the democracrest Democrats to Republicans. I
think when you mess with people's flights around the holidays
and food, then it doesn't matter. At any point, everybody's

(03:10):
going to be blamed. The whole country is going to
blame everybody for that. So I think at this point
and then to see that you know, Congress is getting paid.
They're getting paid, so they have no problem, you know
with that. So I think everybody, including myself and all
Americans are saying, you guys need to do something. It's
like the worst mom and dad fight in the world,

(03:33):
and if you guys can get it figured out, then
we're going to just kill kick everybody out of office.
And I think people are starting to realize that.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
Yeah, now totally agree.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
This was again the polling was neck and neck, and
you get to you know, forty plus days and you're
looking at canceled flights and people not receiving snap benefits,
and yeah, the pain just becomes untolerable. So not only
is it the right thing to do in my opinion,
but nobody wants to take the risk for being blamed

(04:04):
for that.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
And doctor Cabala, I'm just I mean kind of summarize
in Layman's terms, what exactly the core issue. My understanding
is that the Republicans didn't want anything new in the bill.
They just wanted to kind of keep what we've been
doing and kind of go forward. The Democrats wanted more
funding for Obamacare is and I guess where's that going
to shake out? Is that what's going to be the

(04:25):
end result is there? Is it going to be more
funding and money for Obamacare?

Speaker 2 (04:29):
How does that work well?

Speaker 3 (04:31):
And so that's interesting and I appreciate your making the point.
There's a pledge that Leader Soon has made in the Senate,
and this appears to now enjoy the support of sixty senators.
It's not to extend Affordable Care Act Obamacare subsidies, but
if to allow a vote on extension, and so you
do have Democrats who are upset, and some of the

(04:52):
talk on the internet is really blaming Tim Kine, Dick Durbin,
Maggie Hassan and others at this point for even voting
preliminarily to reopen because there isn't a guarantee. My guess
is the Senate will vote to support an extension of
the Obamacare subsidies. But that's right. It's just a basic framework,
not a lot of substantive guarantees, and we're just trying

(05:16):
to reopen at this point.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
So in other words, they'll kind of pass some half
measure to basically say we're just going to kick it
down the road a little bit and whatever.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Good there's not benefits.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
You can get on your airplane and it'll be fine,
but we'll probably be dealing with this again next year.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Well and so right, because it's a continuing resolution, so
it's not even an appropriations bill or budget. Of course,
as you know, twelve appropriations those. This is just getting
agreements on what's known as a continuing resolution, which is
not really the full budget, but it at least allows
the government to fulfill those basic functions or planes are flying,

(05:51):
we've got border patrol, and people getting snap benefits. So
it looks like there's enough agreement on a sort of
continuing resolution which kicks the can down the road so
that we can agree on a formal budget. And fortunately
I was getting worried. It looks like we're tentatively on
the road to making that happen, but we still need

(06:12):
one more vote in the Senate, and we need than
the House to agree if government is to fully reopen.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Doctor Bocabolas, our guests, he's a policyber professor at Tarleton
State and uh, doctor, let me ask you this, how
should I say this? A lot of people, a lot
of people are or have made the point of like, look,
if you just somehow there was a way where the
folks in Congress their pay would stop when the government

(06:40):
shut down, it would stop all of this. Is there
any real effort to make that happen? Of course, why
would those people vote something that's natively affects them. Is
there any real push for that? Do you ever see
that happening? And that's everybody Republican Democrats wish, But is
it ever going to happen?

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Hey, the government shuts down, that means you're he stops.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
To you know, And I think that's a great point.
If anybody we're going to push that, I could see
Senator rand Paul on the Republican side, maybe Senator Fetterman
on the Democratic side. But no, Unfortunately, my understanding is
we're not really have that. We're not having that conversation.
We've started having a conversation about insider trading in Congress. Fortunately.

(07:22):
But I think you make a brilliant point. Let's we
need we need to start talking about that so that
this doesn't happen again and and you know, we can
avoid this kind of dread around the holiday season. I
think you're absolutely right.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Well, it's kind of like, look, one thing is for
sure every politician a run, certainly first time politicians.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
One key part of their platform is.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
And I am going to vote on term limits, and
we're going to limit and and then once.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
They get in, who said that it tages their mind?
We need limits? And doctor Kabala, I know the five
Democrats that voted for this, which I applaud them for
or because we need to stop the silliness. And and
you know, I when it affects me or affects somebody,
I know, then we all care, right because I fly

(08:09):
a lot and I have people coming in and is Thanksgiving, Chris.
But they're not up for re election. Do you think
that has because Rocky just brought a term loft? Do
you think that had something to do with it?

Speaker 3 (08:24):
I think so. I think that's a great point. You've
got too retiring. None of you know, nobody in this
group of moderates is facing reelection and twenty twenty six.
So what I think that speaks to is you do
have some of the base energy on the Democratic side
that really resisted reopening. And of course you've had it
on the Republican side when we had the fights under

(08:46):
President Obama over the Affordable Care Act. So I think
you know, yes, that's very relevant, and it does kind
of show, you know, we've got base energy both on
the right and the left that's a little more polarized.
And it took folks who are not up for re election,
facing the wraths maybe of the base, to take this,

(09:07):
in my opinion, responsible step doc.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Let me ask you this kind of aside from the shutdown,
just back to the elections. And I know that was
last week, but you know New Jersey, Virginia, or the
big ones obviously in New York City with Mondami, A
lot of yeah, you know, some pundits out there say, oh,
this is an indictment on you know, the mid terms
next year. I personally didn't see it that way. I mean, Virginia,
New Jersey are pretty blue and have been.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
For a long time. And I don't think Trump, for
whatever it didn't actively get out there and kind.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Of get behind in candidates. I think he probably just
knew they were going to lose. To be honest, but
do you, in your opinion, is this an indictment on
things that come or is this kind of a one off?

Speaker 3 (09:50):
So, and I think you make a great point about
every mid term election tends to be you know tends
to favor more the party that's not in the white US,
and then the year before the midterm, you'd also expect
to see in this situation Democrats do much better. I
will say I agree with Steve Bannon, sometimes referred to

(10:10):
as Trump's President Trump's consiliari, saying it's also a wake
up call because if you look at the margin the
Donald Trump lost by New Jersey, it was five points,
and then I was surprised to see dak Shadowicky lose
by I mean it was almost ten I think against
mikey Ryl. So is it a bell Weather I mean,
yes and no. I think the margins, especially in New Jersey,

(10:33):
were maybe a little surprising to folks, and there's reason
for Democrats to be energized. I think it does indicate
comparing sort of New York to you know, Virginia and
New Jersey, you do have a struggle in the Democratic Party.
What is the identity of the Democratic Party? Is it
about going hard democratic socialists that certainly appealed to younger

(10:58):
folks in New York City I'm done fifty or is
it kind of take the moderate route? Abigail Spamberger, Mikey
Sheryl that that seems to be a different approach. So yeah,
I would agree with you, not not at be Weather,
but but pointing to some real big questions, both for
Democrats and the MAGA coalition.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Trump's biggest issue is is prices, and I'm not sure
there's exactly a ton he can do about that. He
brought down gas prices, which is kind of the thing
he can control outside of that. But nevertheless, again back
to our original point, most people don't care about the
minutia details are like god, man, I'm you know, going
out the lunch cost twenty seven dollars anymore, so that

(11:38):
that that's got to come down. But listen, doctor Cabala,
we got to run. But this has been a lot
of fun. I really appreciate it, and I hope we
can do this again. If folks want to find out
more about you, where can they go?

Speaker 3 (11:49):
Bz Kabala dot org. B like boy z Kabala ka
b A l A dot org. That's our website and
we'd invite everybody to come to Dublin, Texas if you're
passing through Carlton State. But thank you so much, a
lot of fun, and yeah, let's do it.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Against doctor the best. Thank you, Yes, sir, we'll see.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
And Donna, I don't know about you, but everyone's always saying,
like you know, the Democrats and Republican's got to find
issues that they can both agree on, and I feel
like that's increasingly harder and harder to do with some
of the stances. All right, but one is like if
one thing again, both parties are if if you shut
down the government, you should not get your paycheck if

(12:28):
you're a politician.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
I think everyone does.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Everyone there are things well maybe maybe the only common ground.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
No, because I term limits, I we agree one hundred
we should not have people that are in their nineties
running in concresce. It doesn't make sense. I mean, but
I'm telling you those are two. At least we found two.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Next time, like next election, like especially a first time candidate. Yeah,
look at some of their platform, and I guarantee some
of it, certainly on the Republican side, will be I'm
going to be against you before term one.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Hundred, and then it never once you get in it's tower.
It's a good tower. It is. Let's go Ever tenth
nineteen seventy five, The song went to number one on
the UK charts, which is odd.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Get it odd because it originally went to number one
in the charts in nineteen sixty nine. This, of course,
is Space oldy Okay by David Bowie.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Oh no, the song, Yes, I do bound controls. I
feel like everybody knows the song.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
It's like because it's like the weirdest, coolest song ever.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
It was a weird song, yes, but again, yeah it was.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
It hit number one in nineteen seventy five, but it
was released in sixty nine went to number one, and
that coincided. They rushed the release to time it up
with the Apollo eleven money Land.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Well that does make sense. Yes, so that was cool,
but it never hit until any did you say, no.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
But it just got it had another like another birthday
in insurgence, as.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
You see do with some songs.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
So by nineteen sixty eight, Bowie had begun to feel
alienation from his career.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
His manager asked Bowie to write something new to quote
demonstrate David's remarkable inventiveness. So he knowed it bo He
wrote Space Oudity, a tale of a fictional astronaut named
Major tom Uh. Subject matter of course, influenced by the
moon landing Kobrick's film two thousand and one Space Odyssey.

(14:38):
On writing the song, Bowie said, quote, Well, he went
to see the movie Space Odyssey, which premiered in sixty eight.
Bowie said, quote, I went stoned out of my mind
to see the movie, and it really freaked me out,
especially the trip passage. Other than you know events, you know,
I'll break up with a girl blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Some now went into it, but a very I because
it's a no not to go Stone to a Stanley movie.
You know you're gonna get freaked out. Yeah, maybe you
understand Kubrick's movies better if the Stone though, because a
lot of the movies are like, yeah, maybe just like
lines perfectly, if you're just kind of just bombed, like

(15:18):
the Wall when you Wizard of O in the Wall
or what, yeah, comfortably numb or whatever the heck. In
other news this you have a great article here, and
let's talk about that. Well, I always, you know, I
always watch stuff with fitness and I'm curious about it.
And this guy has been a little bit everywhere in
the news. His name is Brian Johnson. He's got a

(15:40):
Netflix documentary called Don't Die, Like this is the guy
that is doing everything he can to reverse the aging process,
and he's doing some really weird stuff.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Yes, and Eddie and I have we've talked about this
guy here and there on, you know, because he's it's
it's very insane what he's doing. But yeah, that's his
goal is to kind of like try to live forever.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Well, he has a ton of money because he his
company bought Venmo then PayPal bop them and that kind
of stuff. So he's got you know, when you can
have hyper barrack chambers in your house and full on
red light therapy. He has the cutting edge of everything.
But this is kind of his regiment. He's a really
big sleep person. Like he thinks sleep is the number

(16:23):
one thing. He said, smoking is the worst thing you
can do to your body. Smoking, not sleeping is number two.
So he doesn't drink anything afternoon so that it doesn't
disrupt his sleep when he goes to bed at eight thirty.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Now, you're not a man, but as you get older,
that is because that's happened to me at age forty five.
Bathroom all the time, and it's like and I remember
for whatever reason something happened. I think one of the
kids was sick, so ill want having to sleep in
the same bed as like my younger son, and he sucker, like,
we went to bed at nine and it's like eight.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
He didn't get up one, So how do you do that? Well,
women have that time.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Okay, gotcha, But whatever if he finds out of the
secret to that, I'll.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Don't drink anything afternoon, like he has a window of
eating and drinking, so that it is not he fasts.
First of all, it is a plant based diet, so
he's vegan and he he he stops eating after like
one o'clock in the afternoon, stops drinking everything at noon,
so you're fasting from from that point on until he
wakes up organically. He does not use an alarm clock

(17:32):
at four thirty or six between that. Guyss Oh, he's
doing everything. I mean he he literally takes forty to
ninety pills a day, supplements and et cetera. He he
does sixty to ninety minutes of workout every single day,
which doesn't seem like a lot, but he he checks
all of his his all exactly, I mean, first upon waking,

(17:57):
his heart rate, his resting heart rate, his tempre his
entire house is temperature controlled, and he never opens his blinds.
In his bedroom. His drapes are like it's jet black
in there.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
Right.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
You got to see the documentary. It is so crazy.
But this guy, and we talked about this, Rocky, he
wants to live forever. Now, why in the heck you
want to do that? I have no idea, Ed and.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
I have talked about this, But to me, I think
what's worse than death is seeing especially your kids.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
Go before you. Yeah, and you would if you're gonna
live forever, if you're gonna live to be one hundred
and twenty hundred and thirty hundred and fifty, you would,
you would see it much.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
They're on the same plan, which no one else has
the ability to do, so I would question it. Just
seems like he's not I'm all for health and I
do a lot of things too, but like I feel like,
you got to live your What kind of life is
he is?

Speaker 2 (18:48):
He a It's like he's a day. He's not raising
any kids, right, he's not. There's no wife, he said,
he said, well in the interview, And I don't want
to give the whole thing away. But it's really good.
He's he was at do you have fomo when you
see people going out like Christmas parties and stuff. He's
going to be in bed by a thirty and wake
up at for And he said, I don't have depression,

(19:09):
I don't have stress. I don't have so they should
have fomo over me. It's it's a mindset. It is
literally a mindset. He was fifty pounds overweight when when
he was you know, owning Venmo and the PayPal stuff
he was, And he has pictures before and after, and
this guy is shredded. He is like he has the

(19:32):
body fat five percent. His his numbers of aging, he's
in his fifties and he has numbers like he's eighteen
years old, and so he's in his fifty fifty. Yeah,
but if you see the guy he does he looks
like he's could be in his The thing is, I
couldn't tell what age. I would have no idea what
age this guy is. It's the weirdest thing. And he

(19:53):
has like this, you know, he's doesn't he's not in
the sun at all. Red therapy, red light therapy puts
it on. So he grows his hair back, so he
has this thing that grows his hair back and you
put it on your head and you put a hat
on over it, all you see is red light. It's
the weirdest. So he said he doesn't have stress. He
said he has zero stress and not depressed, not on

(20:16):
any pills or anti depression. No, you know nothing. See that.
I question because to me, life is about suffering to
some degree. Yeah, I would agree with that.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
You're not.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Really you look back at some of the you know,
there's point at times your life and there's usually times
where you're suffering because you were doing that to hopefully
get some sort of goal. I sometimes feel like I'm
not I'm not worth a crap unless I'm like kind
of miserable.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
My wife will probably tell you that too. If I'm
it is, I'm not. I'm not recommending it.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
I'm just saying I'm like, when I'm miserable and things
are like stress, that's where I'm kind of at my best.
When I'm just kind of like living and it's.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Like everything's good, good. What I have to be concerned about?
What am I here? You do understand suffering on another
level when you're trying to get somewhere and we learn
more from our mistakes than we ever do on our wins.
So I agree with you on some of that, for sure.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
I guess maybe for him, he's already accomplished so much.
But I guess I would say, you shouldn't stop accomplishing, right,
you should try it, even if it's not something the
level of found Venmo or whatever the hell it is,
like God, be something else.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
Well, that's what he's trying. He wants to be the
oldest man that has ever seen that, So that's his goal.
His goal is. The documentary is called Don't Die on
Netflix and it's available to watch and just be prepared.
It's it's it's interesting as anything I've ever seen. It's
so good. But you you know, discipline takes you so far.

(21:49):
This guy like again, we're all going to go to
Christmas parties. We have a Christmas party here on the third.
Everybody's going to be cookies and he doesn't need sweets,
he doesn't want there's no alcohol there, there's no celebration
in that aspect. He has just flipped the script on
on what is important to him and and how he
wants to live from this point on. I guess is

(22:11):
he gonna get he's gonna get a medal over for
living the longest. Is that the Guinness record is that
is that he's gonna have to find another company to
buy because how long? I mean, you know you can't.
What are you gonna do? Retire at one hundred and ninety?
I mean right now you have. I don't want to
pay bills for that long. I don't want, you know,

(22:31):
I don't want to see all my family members die
and me live by myself. It's weird that that part
is is weird, but I guess I mean I don't
it wouldn't be for me. I mean, like everybody wants
to live their longest full, but part of it is
being able to live and not really I feel like
that guy he's gonna do all this and he's gonna like,
you know, slip getting out of the shower and his

(22:52):
head does. That's what a lot of people have. He's
gonna get hit by a bus and take boom, Like God,
I did all this for this is how I go.
I know that's a that's part of the Netflix thing
where everyone he's like, well, if it's my time to go,
it's my time to go. But I'm gonna do what
I can to do the research. I am dying to
see what you think about this.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
You gotta watch I want to watch it, yeah, because
you know I know exactly what you're talking about it.
I've read oracles on him, and yeah, I guess the
part I don't.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Ryan Johnson is his name.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
I would want to know more about again, like his
family situation, like what does he does he have kids?
Does he have a wife.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
He doesn't have a wife. He had a girlfriend. But
like that's hard to take because you know, you don't
have any hanky panky after eight there everything shuts down
at eight thirty.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
He does not get He sleeps like like ten plus
hours day.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
His body is temperature controlled while he's sleeping, and his
and his room is tempered. His whole house is temperature controlled,
but it's optimal for his sleep. And you can't have
any light coming in. There's zero light. His room is dark.
I mean he's got every monitors, he's got everything. It's
like bionics man or something. Yeah, but it's totally beyond obsessive.

(24:07):
It's it's whatever's past that. I think, whatever is past
that is what this guy is. But he's trying to
shoot for something, and you know, I mean, nobody would
be able to be able to afford the machines and
the blood work that he gets done if he has
somebody coming into the blood works and they test all
this stuff and it's crazy. That's right. It's interesting. We'll

(24:28):
see how long it's never die on Netflix. And his
name is Brian Johnson. Go check it out.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
And Brian not this singer from ac DC, but a
different Brian Johnson. Definitely, that was great. Let's go and
check some trafficking weather. How are we looking at that?
Hopefully gets sorted out whatever he has going on. But
I think you and I can still talk about this.
And again, if you're if you're just tuning in, two
major League baseball pitchers and both of the Cleveland Guardians,

(24:57):
Luis Ortiz and Emmanuel Clase believe is his name, believe
that the two pitchers allegedly conspired with sports betters to
rig pitches that they threw so betters would profit from
illegal wagers. So these guys, would you know, we're we're
obviously in on it. And you can make these prop
bets of what kind of pitch you're gonna throw, and

(25:18):
what inning, how many balls, how many strikes you're gonna do,
and they would kind of be in on it. Tell
tell betting insider folks, that's what they're gonna do. They'd
pull it off, and you know they get five grand
or whatever. A couple of thousand dollars Now does need
to be said, I think at least or tease. I mean,
he's on a contractor paysing twenty million dollars a year.

(25:39):
So I guess my first point is, and why you
you know, you mess some monkey with the stuff.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
You know you're making twenty million, and right, it tends
to make a couple of grand, even if it's even
if it's one hundred grand or a couple Is it
worth all that when you're already making money.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
I gues see you're taking a big leap. If you're not,
Hey man, I gotta do what I gotta do to
make ends meet here. But that's not the case.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
No, And you know you're risking jail. These guys are
going to go to jail. So not only are they
going to lose their career and their big paychecks, but
they're going to go to jail. And I don't get
it either. But the problem is when people do stuff
like this, and now you know you talked about it earlier.
Gambling is legal in many states, including Ohio now, and
a lot of people bet on the game. How is

(26:21):
that this kind of stuff going to make it seem like,
why are we going to bet on stuff when now
we know that that they're just catching people all over
the place rigging games.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
It does, And I don't bet on games. I assume
you don't need to gold, but yeah, if you if you're
someone that does that, you do start to worry about
the integrity of some of this. And I will say I,
first of all, I think it's easier in baseball.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
I think it's harder in football.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
I'm just maybe I'm wrong, but I'm thinking, you know,
if you're a quarterback, it's hard to you know, to calculate, Hey,
I'm going to miss a throat to this guy or
I'm going to hit this receiver versus. That's a little
bit harder. If you're the pitcher, you're in total control
of what pitch you're gonna throw next, So a little
easier there. And I do see where it would be

(27:08):
very tempting it. And like most lies, I always tell
tell people know when when they get ready to tell
a lie? Do they say, I'm getting ready a lie?
You justify yourself, right, you self justified? Well, it ain't
really a lie because it's really and I've been wrong
before some I'm just kind of even in the slate.
That's what you do, right, everybody does. So I think

(27:29):
they're kind of like a chance to a I'm gonna
throw a ball at some point to sitting in anyway.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
But if I happen to know when I'm going to
do it.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
And I can make zero or a couple grand, why
not do it?

Speaker 2 (27:43):
There's they're going to justify themselves right into prison. I
will say this, though, there is something about like the
thrill of making money and gambling, like at that point,
even when I go to Vegas, right, I love Texas,
hold them. I'm good at it too. I've made the
final table at the wind twice. Really, Yes, I wait

(28:04):
for my I wait for my hand, and I'm not
a good bluffer. I wait for my hand though. That's
what I do too. And I have no problem going
all in on you.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
And don't say don't take offensive. But it like if
you sat down the table, I wouldn't say, oh my god, there's.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Like there's i'd be like, oh, it's nicely pre judgment.
Oh and I I actually I go so long that
this was my point, Like I'll go to Vegas and
I'll play and I'll be good at it, but then
I won't go another for another year or something like that.
I'm not somebody that, but when I'm in it, it's
like I'm so excited and I'll play five hours in

(28:40):
a tournament.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
I'm the same way like I I've kind of gotten
away from I. I love playing blackjack, and but I've
gotten away from it because I've I've maybe this is
called maturity, but I figured out there's no way I
can actually win because even if I win, it's like
you know what i mean, I'm like, yeah, I'm never
going to be satisfied.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Well, no, I mean I was. I've been up so
many times at blackjack where I'm like, I'm up five
hundred bucks. My mind is saying leave now, leave now,
But then it's only nine o'clock. It's tell what I'm
gonna do. Then what I'm gonna do walk around with
five hundred bucks. So then that's how that's how Vegas.
They're always going to be winning, No, matter. What is
is they know human nature. And again, but maybe that's

(29:22):
what's going on here too, because once you win, and
you're like, oh man, that was the easiest reason two
thousand bucks to ever win, why don't we just and
they'll justify it. I'll eventually throw a ball, So why
don't I just get that out of the way now
and make some money on I don't know, I mean.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
I think that's what it is, because it's not as
egregious as you know, I'm gonna purposely strike out right,
It's like I'm gonna throw a fastball here and I'm
want to throw in the dirt instead of throwing a
change up.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
I do that up, you know, one hundred times a game.
Who cares?

Speaker 1 (29:55):
And and here's the other thing I've I've heard in
talking with people is you know, a lot of it
comes down you know a lot of the athlete. And
I'm not saying this is the case, but I would
be shocked if it wasn't true to some degree.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
A lot of them, you have, you know, little.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Entourages of people and friends they've had for a long time, right,
and they're tired of either they're tired of helping fund
their lifestyle or they're just not doing it anymore. So
instead of like giving them money, they say, well, here
here's a deal. If you should so happen to put

(30:30):
you know, on this pitch would be thrown the third inning,
you might win.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Well. And that's a way to help without really giving
them money. Yeah, giving them something. Yeah, and that makes sense.
And you were just talking about how, oh man, this
is how they got caught. They're betting on these small
little what did you call them? There the bets that
they're making or the prop bets bets. So if it's

(30:58):
a foul ball and somebody got caught because it was
like four feet in front of the plate, people are
gonna be suspect on that, especially when they see a
large number of cash going on that bet. So do
you think do you think that because people are now
getting caught, which they should, do you think that they

(31:18):
it's gonna deter people from because these guys are gonna
go to jail and I'm sure that's they're gonna throw
the book at them to make an example like don't
don't do this. This is not gonna go well for you, certainly,
the hope and I think it will be because the
prop betting stuff. It's still kind of new, like you
know what I mean again, where you can bet on
these little odd things. Uh, they did it at the

(31:41):
Super Bowl, like when is the start? When is the
you know, how long is the national anthem?

Speaker 4 (31:47):
Right?

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Exactly, those types of weird things even before it gets
to the game. That's kind of how it started. I
think it is. And now you can you can you
can bet mid game, mid inning, you know, like in
between pitches like like, so it's just gotten you know
which is you know there's it means there's are lots
of different ways where you can win money.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
So if you like to gamble, it's fun. It's not
just betting the over under and and who you think
is gonna win. But yeah, the hope is that it's
a deterrent and it better be and they should push
for the max on this to deter people from from
doing it moving forward or else. Yeah, the whole golden
goose here is done.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
Well, maybe maybe they just stop those bet those small
bets now, maybe they just put those best aside and
saying no nobody's I don't know if they were how
they would be able to I don't know. The and
I should know this, but because but I don't bet so,
but I don't believe the state of Ohio. There's certain
amount of prop bets you you can't do. I may
be wrong with that. If I am, call and tell me.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
So.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
There's ways of kind of but again there's with it
being online, you could bet.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
With you.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
There.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Yeah maybe if you if you're you're a regular better
you're gonna say, I'm not doing those prop bets anymore.
Obviously people are getting caught for rigging those, So I'm
not doing those anymore. I'll bet on the entire game
and and still go from there. Yeah, and if I
was a betting person, that's what I would do. That's
what I would do too. But but again I think
it's just more kind of a you know, you get

(33:20):
bored with just annomy. You know, this is kind of fun.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
I can bet on if you know whatever, the the
secondary player will have an intersect you. I mean, you
can get making a little more interesting, a little more fun.
That's what the league is like that because it makes
people engage in the games. People watch the right and
I'll tell you this, I'm just about how I didn't

(33:42):
know how gamble, how big gambling was, and certainly I've
realized how big it's gotten the last couple of years.
So doing research to call games. I've called games for
now like eleven years. And you used to, you know,
usually especially you got a couple of teams you don't
really know. You go online, you type in you know,
two a football, like what you know, and you kind
of chart getting some articles and you used to get

(34:03):
like websites that would talk about the game and what
you know, this, this, and this is kind of what's happened.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
And now they're all betting sites. Wow, any information is
all like.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
You know, using yeah to Tulane is you know, seven
and three against the spread at home and blah blah
blah blah blah blah. Bu it's not really you can
find them, but it's few and far between. On if
you're just purely just blind dumb interest in a team
and you want to know that, it's it's less and less.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
That's interesting. And I'm not, like I said, I'm not
a gambler either, so I wouldn't know. But if it's
legal and you can do it, and it's one of
those things, it's adrenaline, it's it's exciting, it's addicting can
be with with watching a game with a bet, even
if I bet on a on a football game randomly
with a friend twenty bucks. I just bet in Chicago.

(34:56):
Bears ended up winning and I lost twenty bucks, but
it was fun. I got twenty bucks on this. You know,
I can't do that all the time because it changes
things as I watch it.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
But to that, first of all, your point is right
on the money. About the players that engage in this.
It's it's like they like, it's not really the money
it is, but it isn't. It's more the adrenaline of
like winning, win win. But to your point, I mean,
you probably were interested in a Bears game that you
otherwise couldn't have cared lesson exactly. And that's what my
buddy has always said to me, because I'm always like,

(35:31):
I don't help people bet because it make me a
nervous rack watching the game because and now I'll never
get to tell me, I don't know how you watch
a game without betting, because now I'm interested in, uh,
in some random college game that I don't really care about,
but now invested in watching.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
And I think that's what most folks that game on
games would and if you and I'm sure you know this,
Like they have the red zone where you get all
the highlights of all the all the games that are
the which is really fun because you can see the
plays and who if somebody's out, they don't put that
on there and they highlight. So if you're somebody that

(36:05):
bets on this, you one have the red zone where
you can watch all the highlights and who's winning. And
that becomes like a five hour adrenaline roller coaster ride
and people love it. And I get it. I don't
engage in, but I understand. I get it.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
I understand how people would would get in that anyway.
Oh good, let's go ahead and check some trafficking weather.
How are we looking at that? Oh w you're rocking
alongside Donna, d.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
And Donald.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
This is both a downer of a story but also
very inspiring and as to look at it in the
inspiring good. There's a Nebraska woman born without a brain,
has defied odds and has just celebrated her twentieth birthday.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Oh my gosh, I saw this story.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
Parents were told that she would never make it to
four or even five years old. Parents have been told
when she was born, that she was a healthy child,
until a check up two months later Your oh yeah,
revealed the daughter had a hydra and sephlee, a rare
condition that left her with just a pinkies pink your
pinky finger size worth of brain matter at the base

(37:10):
of her skull. Quote twenty years ago. We were scared,
but faith, I think is really what kept us alive,
said Sean Simpson, the woman's father. Although she missing, her
family believes that she is more than aware of what
people think. Say somebody stressed around her, nothing will even happen.
It could be completely signed, but Alex will know, she'll

(37:33):
feel something, and I guess somehow alert her parents and
her brother who's.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Say something's going on. Yeah, you know. It is a
testament to the human spirit and the will to want
to live.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
I mean it is.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
You'd be amazed at how many people defy the odds
of stories like that. I've never heard a story about
a girl without a brain like that, but good for her.
It's when I reached stories like that. And maybe this
is wrong, but I I like the people that are like, oh,
I'm depressed or I'm you know, i'm mentally I'm not
having mental difficult. Really yes, really yeah, I mean brain yeah,

(38:13):
or family or mom and dad. I mean day to
day what what out the stress of that? So I
don't have sympathy if you're if you're have stress.

Speaker 4 (38:21):
I had.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
We had a we had I say, I say the
story all the time. We had a guest at Epic
in my day job. We do this big event. He
was the guy with no arms and no legs, and
he said, I'm up here telling everybody to be positive.
And he's married, he had two kids. I mean, it's
from Australia. He's one of the biggest public speakers in
the world.

Speaker 4 (38:41):
Love it.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
I always say, to be grateful, you have two arms,
two legs. All right, we'll take a break. When you
come back.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
Donna's gonna tell us these six reasons why chewing gum
is good for you.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
How about that for a seven hundred.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
News radio seven hundred w W rocking alongside Donna d
coming up at the top of the hour. You know,
obviously prices are are affecting everybody, right, I mean everything
is high, groceries and food and especially things like that.
So we've got a guest. Honestly, we've had him on
before he's great. His name is Steve Cotton. He's a

(39:19):
financial strategist. He's gonna talk uh specifically, you know gen
Z in terms of the things they are choosing to
give up to, you know, save money. I would say
certainly everybody does. You don't have to be a gen Z.
You everybody does this to some degree. Yet you have
to unless you're that guy you're talking about earlier, who's
the billionaire.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
On his health.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
So don't die, Brian, by the way, real quick. At
six o five, Austin is hosting Sports Talk tonight. He's
in for Lance. At six oh five. He's going to
be discussing Burrow's potential return. He has audio from Burrow
and you and I will talk about that little yeah.
Six thirty five, he has Tommy g the voice of

(40:03):
FC Cincinnati, on their big playoff win against Miami. Messi's
coming up, So Austin, I have you covered from six
to nine, and that'll start at six oh five him
with Sports Talk. Now, I tease this, Donna, and I
purposely didn't ask you them because I want to be
surprised and shocked as well. But the six benefits of

(40:24):
chewing gum because I didn't know there were frankly any.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
Neither did I and I actually don't like chewing gum
except for I got this neurogum and it's brain gum
because it's got lethiathene. So I have been chewing gum lately,
and maybe that's why, because you know how you're froming.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
Well, and you had a particularly good segment last so
maybe that is the brain stuff exactly.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
No, I believe that. Well, the first one. Okay, so
there's six benefits to chewing gum. The first one is
it kicks your brain into turbo mode, so it cranks
up your blood flow by chewing it, and it increases
it by one point two percent. So apparently that's like
an amazing number. So the more you chew the blood

(41:07):
flow goes to your brain, the smarter you get, and
the more focused you get. That's number one. There's five
more of these. I could see that. It's just the
same as like you know, you're kind of thought you
do a couple of jumping jacks and you kind of
get the blood clone for it, like when you're in
yoga and you flip upside down and you do a
version in versions, that's absolutely a thing. Uh, Donald what

(41:27):
me and Kelly do at home is our business, right
all right. I don't want to get all of it
in your business, okay. Number two is a stress reliever.
So like your quarter, cortisol levels drop by chewing gum
because it releases saliva in and that helps to relieve
stress and cortisol. So that's number two. This is crazy,

(41:49):
all right. You're gonna like this one, and I think
everybody will like. Deals with food cravings. So chewing equals
feeling satisfied. You feel like you're eating food just by
the motion of chewing. So when you have gum in
your mouth, if you're craving something or you're hungry, put
a piece of gum in your mouth, and it's going
to take care of your cravings.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
Now that one I can comment on by whatever your
shears happenstance. I was watching something and you know, like
UFC fighters and boxers, they got to cut weight, right, yeap,
I didn't know those.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
One of the ways they do it. You take a
towel and you put ice in the towel, gnaw on the.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
Towel, and it does exactly what you just said, Yes,
gives your body the feeling of Okay, I'm chewing, which
means I must be eating, which means I must be
getting food.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
Therefore I'm not as hungry. That's interesting. See all of
these are kind of making sense, right, and wrestlers are
always trying to drop drop Okay, So it does protect
the enamel of your teeth, isn't that interesting. We've been
told so many times that if you chew gum you
might have issues with your teeth. It actually does the opposite,
according to this study, it lifts your mood. So when

(42:58):
you're chewing gum, and I can tell you I've been
doing this because I have this new gum and I
don't normally chew gum, it has this this energy that
when you when you're chewing, you feel like you're funny, laughing, funny.
There's some sort of something that's connected to your brain
that you're moving your mouth. You're like talking or laughing
in a weird way.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
I think it goes back to whatever your first or
second point of like, yeah, just the motion of it.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
It just kind of gets to your blood flowing.

Speaker 4 (43:25):
A little bit.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
Yeah, cranks up the blood flow, that's absolutely. And then
the last one, it builds your jaw like you can
crush a million almonds. It is actually a muscle. So
the more that you chew, the more your jawn did
really good for your outline too, on your face. So yeah,
it really helps the jaw muscles, the jawline, and it
makes your jaw really really strong that you can eat

(43:47):
really like I don't know if you want to put
twenty almonds in your mouth at the same time, but
you can.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
But we increasingly as humans eat softer food than we
used to. And I saw this too, which is again interesting.
They were making the case that like you know, if
you dig up a body or a skull from you know,
a thousand years ago, the teeth aren't all jacked up
like they need braces.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
And it made the case that was making is.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
That people chewed tougher, harder food, so like like chewing gum,
your jaw got so it helped your yeah, your mouth,
it kept it like kind of bigger and stronger, so
the teeth would grown normal instead of being like kind
of crampy because we eat softer food.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
Yeah, I mean even you know, even if you bite
into an apple, which normally I like to cut it
because for some reason it's just hard to bite into
an apple now, because I think you're right. We're used
to eating softer food yogurt and toasts like toast and
stuff like that. So if you're if you're chewing gum

(44:51):
and you can even feel it, your jaw gets tired.
Oh you're chewing gum. If you've had it in your
mouth for like fifteen twenty minutes, you're oh, I was tired,
and you're like, I got to get this gum out
of here. But it's really good for the muscles, it's
really good for the teeth, it's good for the brain,
it's good for your tricking your your cravings so you
eat less and you lose weight. I mean, can you

(45:14):
believe all this from chewing gum? Chewing gum?

Speaker 1 (45:17):
And you know, Joe Rogan like a couple of years back,
like advertise this price. So it was like based like
a it's like a like a rubber ring, like a
thick one, and it would like you chewed on to
exercise your jaw or yes, but I mean, rather than
looking dumb chewing up rubber, you could just choose some gum.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
That wouldn't taste very good. You do get some benefits
of fresh breath too. By chewing gum not so long.
But again you can imagine rock the stress reliever because
it releases saliva to get rid of the cortisol in
your But I mean, that's so crazy how this works.
It is, I probably do at least one stick a

(46:01):
gum a day. Well you can add two and like
just get all the better. You feel good about it
like that, I'm gonna get a piece of gum after this.
I'll give you a piece of my brain gum and
see if it works. Let's see if our next segment.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
If the world needs my brain being better. Just kidding,
I need all the damn help I can give you
that gum right now.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
I'm good.

Speaker 1 (46:21):
All right, let's go ahead and set some trafficking weather.
How chewing gum and the many benefits of it. We
are both now currently chewing gum.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
We're going to try to not do that's already getting tired.
And she gave me some like brain gum. Like it's
neuro neuro gum. It's got the thiath in, which is
brain power. Okay, In fact, I have a lift it's
ut like that. Yes, it does. Where you get it
at I got it off Amazon. I watched a podcast

(46:51):
and of course, and and they don't ever leave without it.
It was Joe Rogan actually, and he said, this stuff
we have in cases behind me, and it's really good.
This is the second time I bought like it tastes
a gum. I guess, yeah, pepper, but it's it works well.
You can't swallow it, and you have fifteen minutes to
chew it.

Speaker 1 (47:10):
Now, when you say you can't swallow it, you should
physically can't, or you just shouldn't.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
I could swallow mine right now, but you shouldn't. You
should not. I stay in your stomach for seven years exactly. Don't.
You don't ever swallow gum.

Speaker 1 (47:26):
It's funny how the I always think that those kind
of things, those like like old wives tales or you
want to call them, the ones that pre internet, yeah,
are the because it's like, you know, no one like
read this.

Speaker 2 (47:38):
It was just kind of got passed around. Break your
mama's back, right, Yeah, those kind of things that you
don't cross a black cat or don't ladder or anything
like that, right, gotcha? Yeah, you had one year thought, Well,
I was telling you because this is a little scary
but also cool at the same time. I just don't
know how to feel about this. So Bill Gates is

(47:59):
predicting a two day work week within ten years.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
Why AI, Yes, of course, exactly. Any and I talk
about it a couple of times a week.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
Well, it's it's it's scary because yes, there are going
to be a lot of humans that are replaced by
machines and robots and things like that and call centers
and those jobs are going away. I mean, like this
is all. I had a call. I had to call
back an HVAC company out of Texas today and they
had an automated AI. This is an AI recording. Please

(48:34):
give me as much information as you can and I'll
make sure that this person. It was really the first
time I heard that, and it was kind of weird. Normally,
you know, it was a pretty big company, so normally,
you know, I've never heard it before. But yes, that's
going to replace it. I mean, I always wanted the
four day work week because I think it's so lopsided
we work five days and have two off when. But

(48:57):
be careful what you wish for, because he saying a
lot of the jobs are going to be the companies
are still going to be as productive, if not more
so with people working two days a week, So why
not because of that?

Speaker 1 (49:10):
True? But if I mean just by just sheer like,
you know, easy math, If you're working two days a week,
how do you make the same salaries if you're working
four or five days a week? What what what CEO
is going to just see that's a very good question.
And I don't think we know the answer to that
if they're making more profits. But yeah, but but that

(49:34):
would that would be rid of all human They cannot
just be all machines.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
But you can get away with the of a lot
they can. And that's what Bill Gates who is And
I just I don't.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
See, you know, And I think, you know a lot
of companies get a bad rap that all they care
about is money. I know a lot of business owners
and they are the most giving.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
People in the world.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
But there are certainly some businesses that are about making
profits and that's you know, you know, and that's fine.
But that would mean those companies would say, you know what,
just have the kindness of our heart. You know, I'm
working two days, but we'll pay.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
Them the same.

Speaker 4 (50:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
Maybe, I mean that would be great because they're going
to be making more profits. I mean, if you look
at what is or they keep the province and buy
another yacht. Yeah, that's horrible conversation. Today it's like, who
needs Jeff Bezos's yacht? Who needs something like that? It's
like a cruise ship. I mean, you know you don't

(50:32):
need something like that, but especially when you know he listens.
I believe in capitalism, you should make it money and
and people work hard in Jeff Bezos has come up
with one of the most brilliant ideas ever Amazon. I mean,
you know he makes but there should be some level
of cap We don't need trillionaires. How are you going
to spend how you're going to spend all that money?

(50:54):
Rock You're not.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
But but if you have a billion dollars, it would
stop people from saying, you know, I'm just good and
I'll just and think of all the innovation and things
that they would otherwise maybe figure out. Like Elon Musk,
everyone was given freaking out because he made like a
trillion dollars or yeah, think of the contributions that guy
has made. Do oh one hundred percent. I have a

(51:18):
love hate with Elon, but he is still a creative genius.
Whether he gets another trillion or not, he's still gonna
come up with these ideas.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
He's it's it's it's his thing. You can't get in
the way of someone's things. So if he said, you know,
you're you're capping me at a trillion dollars. And if
he says, if he you know, like the like the
workers that say, I'm gonna pay you the same, the
companies that will say it's a cool thing to do,
don't pay me anymore. I'm never gonna spend all this money, right,

(51:48):
but I'm still going to come up with some really
cool stuff for this country and the world. And you
would hope.

Speaker 1 (51:53):
Yeah, I think with a lot of some of the
like the the just top of the top successful people
and rich bocause I've seen this with football coaches, you
know that make these you know, eight, ten, twelve, fifteen
million dollars years sol and they don't spend any of it.
But but but when you're talking about that group of people,
it's it's more of like a how do you prove

(52:16):
you're better than that other guy? Well, the only real
measure out there, unfortunately is not the only one, but
is richer. Yeah, I'm richer than that guy is so
It's not like I'm making this money so I can
afford it.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
Well, you can already afford everything. But this in a
way quantifies that I'm smarter and better than that CEO
of that company. But that's that. But that again, that's
that competition. What drives these guys to work insane hours
and do insane crazy things when they don't have to,
is even if that thing is just to be better
than that guy, which is seemingly dumb. I give, there's
a benefit to competition is a real deal. Absolutely, it

(52:53):
makes people work harder and think smarter. And I agree
with you one hundred percent. But if I mean, maybe
if there's one and we've talked about innovative things all
this show has been so fun, rocky, and if there
was one thing that it would be great for one
of those billionaires to do is to just say, I've
got enough money, Let's just try and get to Mars

(53:16):
or wherever, wherever, whatever you want to do. Let's make
you know, the optimist robot that's going to be out there.
I mean, I think it's you know, it's it's going
to be helping people take care of their kids, walk
their dogs, clean their house. I mean, everybody, it's going
to be like the Jetsons in ten years, maybe fifteen,

(53:36):
maybe not even that long. I don't know. Well, Elon
tried that with Dosee and everyone hated him. He said,
I'm just going to quit doing my my tesla thing
and put that aside and kind of create some government efficiency.
And everyone hated him for it. And you know what,
his stock he lost a lot of money. I shall
be yeah, you're right, I mean he did do a lot.

(53:57):
No good deed goes unpunished, by the way. That's my
favorite saying these days. For for whatever reason in ways true.
Great that brain is working down that. Yeah, I don't know.
I don't even know what I just said. Don all right,
we will take a break when we come back, and we're.

Speaker 1 (54:13):
Gonna have what ese yes, Steve Cotton, he's gonna talk
about the things gen Z is embracing that they're trading away,
they're giving up to deal with the financial times a room.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
We'll talk to them next seven hundred wl w our website.
Credit that's credit enter it now.

Speaker 4 (54:33):
O is Eddie and.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
Rocky Show and he's out alongside Dona d and uh Donald. Look,
we were talking about this earlier.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
But uh, you know it, economy wise, it's tough out
there because of prices. Prices of everything is higher, restaurants, coffee,
basic groceries, everything is. And it's all this article and
I knew it was gonna give us a good chance
to talk to our next guest. But yeah, why gen
Z is embracing trade down a economy and essentially what

(55:01):
that means is and I think we all do this,
whether you're gen Z or not, you kind of forego
maybe this this and this pleasure to have that one.
I mean, other than that billionaire you were talking about
earlier who can have whatever he wants on everyone. Everybody's
sacrificing something to some degree. But I thought it was
interesting again, particularly as it pertains of this economy.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
So we have joined us right now. His name is
Steve Cotton. He is a financial strategist. We always enjoy
having him on the show. Steve, Welcome to the program.

Speaker 5 (55:31):
How are you well. I am just doing great. It's
an honor to be with you today. Thank you for
inviting me.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
Always a pleasure, Steve.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
So so yeah, let's talk about that, like with how
high prices are and yeah, whether it's gen Z or otherwise,
what are some of the common things right now that
people are saying, you know what, I can do without
that and that, but I still want to be able
to enjoy this.

Speaker 5 (55:55):
Well. I think COVID is the one that really is
the element that really through the whole nation's economy into
this period where we're re examining our spending. And it's
not just gen Z, but I think we're seeing it
manifest with gen Z in that they are becoming more
discriminating about what they spend.

Speaker 4 (56:17):
Now.

Speaker 5 (56:18):
They still spend a lot of money, but it's so
expensive to go out and drink and eat. And the
thing that surprised me the most is how a lot
of gen z ers are reducing their alcohol. That was
not something for a predict them.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
That's what I was going to say. So gen Z,
the age range is thirteen to twenty seven. I have
to look it up because millennials gen Z as there's
so many born nineteen ninety seven to twenty twelve, and
this is the generation that is saying no to alcohol
more than any other generation. And I think that's great.
But they're buying stuff like coach bags and stuff. This

(56:56):
is interesting.

Speaker 5 (56:59):
Yeah, they still they still want to spend on things
that make them feel good, but they are getting more
discriminating about stretching their dollars, and frankly, I think that's
a good idea too. We've had the softer job market,
We've had employers that are a little slower at hiring.

(57:23):
Changing jobs is a little bit more difficult than it
used to be. There's more risk out there now, and
I think the gen zers are at the forefront of
feeling all of that. And I think they're just becoming
more discriminating, discriminating consumers, and I think that's a very
good thing.

Speaker 4 (57:40):
I really do.

Speaker 1 (57:41):
So I'm forty five years old, Steven, so I'm either
depending on what chart you look at, I'm either one
year like the last year of the millennials, or just outside.
I prefer to thing that I'm just outside of the
millennial category. And I feel like, especially like my generation,
whatever you want to call it, were the ones that
made fun of maybe even that the gen xers is

(58:04):
the ones that spent twenty seven dollars on a range
free duck egg salad when you know, like my generation,
certainly generations before me, could eat a can of tuna
and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch and
have a nickel a cup of coffee and be fine
with it. But it sounds like even those gen Z's

(58:25):
are now coming back to reality and saying what's important here,
Like you know, spending a ton of money on some
gourmet food item at lunch, or maybe more of the
essentials or at least other things that I that I
prefer more.

Speaker 5 (58:40):
I think that's right. I think I think they're getting
more discriminating in a couple of ways. For one thing,
they're wanting more things for free or at low cost.
They are wanting more for less, and you know that
has its pluses and minuses. But I think with limited
fun and you know, with student loan payments kicking back

(59:03):
on and them having to deal with that, I think
they're just being squeezed.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
And and it's not just them.

Speaker 5 (59:09):
You know, when my wife and I go out to dinner,
we can't go anywhere that serves alcohol for less than
one hundred dollars a dinner.

Speaker 2 (59:17):
Yeah, yeah, I totally agree. And so prices are not
going to get lower. I don't see that happening, And
if they do, it's not going to be by much
what you know, are the is this going to be
like a trend that they're you know, because I read
the article and I even saw like they're turning down
Chipotle and stuff, which isn't even that expensive you know

(59:40):
for some people maybe, but yeah, it's not dinner at
you know, alcohol and one hundred dollars, you know. So
are they just planning on or many of them eating
at home from this point?

Speaker 5 (59:52):
Well, I don't. I don't think more of them are
cooking at home. They may be eating at home, but uh,
I think it is a trend. I think it's here
to stay, and I think that it's putting a lot
of pressure on restaurant tours to recalibrate their price lists.
There's restaurant business is very thin margined. It's a very

(01:00:17):
tough business to be in. Businesses. Restaurants are here today,
going tomorrow. The restaurant enjoying public is very notoriously fickle,
and this generation is extremely fickle and very versatile, and
they get bored easily. So if you're a restaurant tour
with high prices, you do that at your own risk

(01:00:40):
because these are the customers that will leave you quicker
than anything.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
And Steve Cotton is our guest. He's a financial strategist.
And so if if folks, again especially gen zers, are
spending less on food and going out to eat and
restaurants and all that, what are are Is there anything
in particular there they are saving their money for anything,
they're buying more of than maybe other generations did not.

Speaker 5 (01:01:07):
Well, I wish I could say that they were more
serious about saving and investing in building up a financial
freedom fund.

Speaker 1 (01:01:14):
Okay, so they're not starting you know, roth iras and
savings accounts and all that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
It's other stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:01:22):
No, it's other stuff. We are still captive of this
consumption theology in our economy and our society. We're still
captive of immediate gratification, and the younger generations are particularly
captive of that. But I just wrote a forward for

(01:01:43):
a colleagues's book, a new book that's coming out soon
that's entitled twenty Dollars to one hundred thousand Dollars How
to Get Started Saving for your Future. Excellent little book.
And if they would take if they would forego two
or three Starbucks, yeah, and put twenty dollars a week

(01:02:05):
into a roth ira, you know, they could very well
get the one hundred thousand dollars much more quickly than
all their colleagues. And that's really what the younger generation
needs to do because social Security is broken, it's going
to go bankrupt. Congress will not let it go bankrupt. Politically,
can't do that. But social Security is going to be

(01:02:26):
a supplement to the younger generation's long term retirement strategy,
not the core.

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
See I wish, I wish I would have done that
when I was, you know, twenty two or even seventeen,
because I was I've always been making money from sixteen
and on. I've always had two or three jobs. So
that's great advice. You know, when you mentioned Starbucks, I
was going to say, I saw the videos on Instagram
and and YouTube and that kind of stuff on the

(01:02:55):
very little things they're seventeen to twenty three, twenty four
years old that are buying those berries still like cups
at Starbucks for like in handfuls. Is that because it
seems like they're wanting more things than eating out or
experiences which most people our age. Well, Rocky's not even

(01:03:17):
my age, I'm older than he is, but like most
people were taught having experiences going out and being social
with your friends. It feels like they're going less of
that and more of like the things or the novelty stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:03:31):
I think they are to some extent, although I don't
know that that's a trend that's gonna be with us forever.
I think as these generations grow and mature and take on,
you know, their third and their fourth job, and they
start saving to own a house, or you know, they
partner with someone and they start making decisions together, these

(01:03:53):
trends change. And I think the biggest problem that we
have is we do not teach financial literacy in schools.
That is a disaster because we may graduate somebody from
high school or even from college with a degree, but
no one along the way has taught them how to

(01:04:15):
beware of credit card debts, yes to else, how to
buy a good car, how to negotiate for a car,
why they may need life insurance at some point. They're
not taught those critical life skills about financial literacy. And
I'm a big advocate of that. State of Texas Texas
Education Agency just put in place a financial education curriculum.

(01:04:39):
They're just starting that in Texas schools, and I think
it's long overdue and it's great.

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
That is great, And again I think that's something everybody
would agree with. I don't know why they teach out school.
Do you know why, I mean, any reason or any
thought as to why they don't.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
Do that in schools.

Speaker 5 (01:05:00):
Well, I don't have a good answer for that. I've
never had a good answer for that. And I didn't
realize the importance of financial literacy and until I was
in my forties, thirties and forties and job changes and
career changes and you know, living paycheck to paycheck. And
it wasn't until I finally got smart about that kind

(01:05:22):
of thing and built a financial services business on my
own and really saw the power of making good decisions early.
That's when I became a really strong advocate of this.
But if you don't come from a family where those
where financial literacy is caught or even good, you just
never learn it.

Speaker 4 (01:05:42):
And I think we do people.

Speaker 5 (01:05:44):
We do our kids a great disservice by not preparing
them for life in these very important ways.

Speaker 1 (01:05:49):
And you see those videos and stuff all the time
about you know, even at age eighteen, if you just
take two hundred, you know whatever, fifty bucks a months,
whatever the number is, you just consistently put that in.
But how how much you'll eventually get a wonder of
the world, ri Steve, you know all about that exactly.

(01:06:10):
And and how much different is if you start seemingly
not a big deal but five years earlier than you know.

Speaker 2 (01:06:19):
I mean, it's it's extraordinarily more.

Speaker 5 (01:06:22):
Well, it does really work. And uh and I've counseled
thousands of people literally in the twenty five years I've
been in this profession. And you know, I had a guy,
I had a middle aged man come in crying in
my office one day. I said, how can I help you?
He said, I've got two hundred thousand dollars a credit
card debt and I just lost my job.

Speaker 4 (01:06:45):
And that was the I had ever seen to that.

Speaker 5 (01:06:47):
Point until the next week when another middle aged man
came in who had just lost his job, a former
high flying executive. He said, I got four hundred thousand
dollars credit card debt.

Speaker 2 (01:07:01):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:07:02):
And obviously, as you know, Steve, it takes discipline, but
I will say it is harder now than ever because
there's so.

Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
Many damn things to buy. In the nineteen fifties, you
know what I mean, Like there just wasn't that that
much stuff and it's easy to buy it. Just just
get on your phone to Amazon and it's at your
door that day. Yeah, so easy. Yeah, people get into
credit card debt, that.

Speaker 4 (01:07:28):
Is for sure.

Speaker 6 (01:07:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:07:30):
I'm on Instagram quite a bit, and I'll buy things
I see on Instagram that that that that I think
I need.

Speaker 2 (01:07:40):
After this one, that's it, I'm done again.

Speaker 5 (01:07:45):
It's coming in from India or China or Vietnam or Cambodia,
and it takes two weeks to get here, and it's
an eight dollar item. And I had no idea that
was coming from overseas. But I think we do our
kids a great disservice by giving them credit cards early.
And of course the credit card companies swooped down on

(01:08:09):
them like credatory birds of prey when they're in college.
But nobody teaches our kids the hazards of credit card debt.
And nobody taught them about school alone debt either.

Speaker 2 (01:08:22):
No, and and nobody taught me for a while until
I saw what Susie Orman said, do not just pay
your monthly on your credit card. This is a long
time ago, but I did not know that I'm paying
twenty three percent interest if I don't pay off the card.

Speaker 3 (01:08:38):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
I was just saying, your monthly minimal payment is and
I was like, okay, it's twenty six bucks whatever, And
that's what I would do. When Susie Orman came on
and said, you don't do that, you don't do that,
pay forever, and guess what, you're paying a thousand times
more than you would have ever paid.

Speaker 5 (01:08:55):
It was a few years ago, and I remember because
I've worked in the US car Congress. Congress passed legislation
that required credit card companies to put a statement, put
a calculation on their statement every month of if you
just pay the minimum, it will take you seven point
five years to pay off this debt. That was a

(01:09:18):
step forward. But the credit card companies have far too
much influence in Congress. They are financial vampires, and we
we get kids hooked. And then they if if you're
an hour or a day on making your payment on time,
they jump you up, very deliberately into a penalty rate
twenty two nine percent, which is usury and it ought

(01:09:41):
to be against the law.

Speaker 2 (01:09:42):
It should be.

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
I agree, you've high from the mountaintops and listen, see
this has been fantastic, really appreciate your time on this.
If folks want to find out more about you and
what you do, where can they go what can they do?

Speaker 4 (01:09:55):
Well?

Speaker 5 (01:09:55):
We have clients all over the country. In fact, we
have some overseas as well. But we're we're a financial
planning and wealth management firm. We we just help people
solve problems. There's no sales agenda. I have a website
Cotton w M a dot com, Cotton w M a
dot com, c O T T O N And we

(01:10:17):
just like helping people and we just we operate with
the strictest integrity and we just are problem solvers.

Speaker 2 (01:10:23):
It's great. See if you're the best man, thank you
so much.

Speaker 5 (01:10:26):
Well, thanks for having me.

Speaker 2 (01:10:27):
I appreciate it. Uh. Steve Cotton finds wow good advice.
And I will say this is a great you know,
a great thing to tell the younger the better on
how to manage your money and pay your cards and
start investing immediately.

Speaker 1 (01:10:40):
And you're right, you got to find out that information
early or else you're like, oh my god, I never
knew that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:46):
I never know. All us go and check some trafficking weather.
How are we looking out there? All?

Speaker 4 (01:10:52):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:10:52):
Back with the Eddie and Rodney Show. Eddie's out alongside
Donald and Donald.

Speaker 1 (01:10:56):
I gotta be honest, I did not see much about
this story until recently here, but I guess the Supreme
Court has denied that there's some petition to overturn same
sex marriage. With more on this, we have a joined
us from ABC Royal Oaks. He's a legal analyst and
many other things. Royal, How are you tell us more
about this story?

Speaker 2 (01:11:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:11:16):
Doing great. You know, some legal fights just never seem
to go away, and a lot of folks were kind
of worried doing the last six months or so. It
is a Supreme Court going to strike down the same
sex marriage change its ruling of ten years ago. Turns
out those fears were not well founded. The deal is
the Kentucky County clerk who got into trouble ten years
ago and she didn't like the Supreme Court decision refused

(01:11:37):
to issue same sex marriage licenses. She was sued and
she lost, and she worked her way up to the
US Supreme Court and said, hey, you've got to help
me here, and just now the Supreme Court had said no,
without comment, they're rejecting her decision, her case, which means
they're not going to revisit same sex marriage, at least
not anytime in the near future. And it also means

(01:11:59):
she's she's lost down below a couple whose marriage she
refused to certify Sudur and so she could be having
to pay one hundred grand or more. That element is
still to be determined.

Speaker 1 (01:12:10):
That remind us Royal. I mean, so the same sex
marriage that that's a federal thing now, right? Was that
from the Obama administrate? Like, there's nothing It's not like
abortion where that's a state by state thing.

Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
Correct? Explain that?

Speaker 4 (01:12:21):
Yeah, so you're right, it's the US Constitution that really
was the issue in terms of same sex marriage, and
it was a federal constitutional question the Supreme Court decided
ten years ago when they arrived at that, And of
course then their later decision on Roe versus Way essentially said, well,
you know what, back in the seventies, the justices seem

(01:12:43):
to think that the federal Constitution guaranteed a rite to abortion. Well,
we're here to say that that's wrong, and so it'll
be state by state. So yes on the abortion decision,
which state is free to make its own rule?

Speaker 2 (01:12:55):
Well, I listen, I have quite a few friends that
are very happy that this did not go to the
Supreme Court, and I feel like, you know, let people
live the way they want to live. That's how I
feel about it.

Speaker 4 (01:13:11):
Well. And the aspect, the other aspect to that, following
on your point, is so many people have taken advantage
of the illegality of same sex marriage in the last
ten years. For the US Supreme Court to say, you know,
we're revisiting it, we've had second thoughts, it would not
only be strange and that, you know, they're supposed to
stick with fundamental, iconic principles for decades or centuries, but

(01:13:32):
also it would be saying to the until thousands of
people who relied on the rules ten years ago, oh well,
just hold on hold that thought. We'll get back to
you as to whether your marriage is really legal or not.
It just doesn't seem like that's.

Speaker 2 (01:13:45):
In the car, That's what I was going to say.
That would have been the very very confusing part of that,
as well as like what do we do when when
people are already married that when does that happen? It
was a good choice from the Supreme Right, and it
just seems like, yeah, this is you know something that
this is what it is and it's it's not changing,
and this kind of I guess recertifies that exactly right.

Speaker 4 (01:14:07):
Plenty of other fights to wage on other issues.

Speaker 1 (01:14:10):
Yeah, how about the government shut down, Royal, let's get
let's get.

Speaker 2 (01:14:14):
Moving on that, right.

Speaker 4 (01:14:16):
It's amazing when one side or the other sides, you
know what, the longer this goes on, the worse it
is for the other guys. It's kind of tough to
break out of that that loop.

Speaker 1 (01:14:26):
It really and and Don and I were talking earlier, Royal,
it's it's like, I'm sure you'll agree, and you don't
have to maybe you know, but there's very few issues
that Republicans and Democrats like agree on. But I think
the one common issue that we could all get behind
is is if the government shuts down your elected congress people,
they should their pay should stop too.

Speaker 2 (01:14:46):
I think both sides could agree on.

Speaker 4 (01:14:47):
That, right.

Speaker 5 (01:14:49):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (01:14:49):
Absolutely. Plus I think everybody isn't in Washington agrees that
if you're a family and the husband and life can't
agree on whether to go to Europe or buy a buick,
you don't shut the family down.

Speaker 2 (01:14:59):
And not he's a kid, exactly.

Speaker 4 (01:15:03):
Win. It's a tie in a marriage, but it's not
a tie in Congress, you know, take the vote to
see who well.

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
And they underestimated angry people too, because they will they
will walk the streets if they don't get snack. I
mean it's food people need to eat. They just blamed everybody.
They didn't even care at that point.

Speaker 4 (01:15:23):
It's the angry, stupid thing.

Speaker 5 (01:15:25):
Royal.

Speaker 1 (01:15:25):
By the way, I'm going to steal that analogy and
give you zero credit for them.

Speaker 4 (01:15:31):
That's quite all right, I'm fine with that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:33):
All right, Roll, thank you so much. We appreciate it
your bet.

Speaker 4 (01:15:36):
Thanks.

Speaker 2 (01:15:37):
All right, another news, Donna, you had well, I wanted
to see if this is you. I don't think it
is you, Rocky, but I have been around this guy
that says this to me all the time, and it
drives me nuts. A man who constantly says whatever you
want isn't being easy going. He's forcing his wife to
carry the weight of every decision, and it drives me.

Speaker 1 (01:16:02):
You're right, because that's that's not me. My wife knows
where I stand on things, and you know, take it
or late.

Speaker 2 (01:16:11):
I mean even we were at the store and I said,
what kind of chips do you want? Whatever you want? No,
if I want, I'll get my own if you don't
want them. But I mean, if I'm sharing them, I
want you to like the chips too. I don't care
whatever you want. I'm like, yeah, and.

Speaker 1 (01:16:27):
Again I think the same way, like you would appreciate.
Just take the ambiguity out of it. Just tell me
what you want, right, I'll tell you. I'm gonna tell
you what I want.

Speaker 2 (01:16:36):
So why do I have to choose everything?

Speaker 4 (01:16:38):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (01:16:39):
And then he's like, guys don't really care? Well, some
guys do care. I think guys care. Maybe you don't.
Put some guys care.

Speaker 1 (01:16:45):
Yeah, some see some little things like that, like chip
that don't bother But like you know, trying to think
what we're gonna watch tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:16:55):
I'll I'll give you my opinion on that. I'm not
like whatever, Well, what if she wanted to watch an
old episode is X in the city? Would you want
to watch that? Like you know what, I'm retired exactly? Yeah?
Is that like a thing though? For it is an
absolute thing? And I'm telling you right now. Women don't
want to be responsible to make those choices all the time.

(01:17:18):
Sometimes yes, sometimes where are we going to go to dinner?
I don't care you don't care. You don't You're not
in any mood. Do you want you want Mexican? Do
you want Italian words?

Speaker 1 (01:17:28):
Women want men to care, They want them to care. Well,
it's what if role reverse?

Speaker 4 (01:17:34):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:17:34):
Donald? What you would? I don't care. Whatever you want,
it doesn't matter to me. It kind of sounds like
it does sound like put off ors like that, like
you go with me because I got friends that'll go
with Do you want me to go with you?

Speaker 3 (01:17:47):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:17:47):
No, maybe you care? Okay, but I think it's probably
good for for some men to hear. Let you know
you're women.

Speaker 4 (01:17:56):
Women.

Speaker 2 (01:17:57):
Women do care. They want some input from men, and
they want them to care, like, care about something, right,
that's pretty important? Care about you carry? Yeah, even if
you say, even if you say, we went to this
place that you love the other night, let's just go
there great, or even like, hey, I'd like to go here,

(01:18:17):
but if you want to go somewhere else, that's fine,
exactly put have some inputs or even better, this is
best case scenario for women. Honey, I made some reservations.
I'm gonna take you. Here's what you need to wear,
and you're good. I'll pick you up and just be
ready by. I think women like that too, but I
feel like men don't think women like that, but I
think they do. Like, Hey, here's honey, tomorrow night, we're

(01:18:38):
going here. I got to take this, don't worry about it.
Put a dress, put a nice dress on. Women love that,
But it takes a strong man to do that.

Speaker 1 (01:18:49):
Right, Yeah, but can't be wishy. Was you're hearing it
from here from Donna to yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:18:53):
This is what women. She is the voice of women
everywhere and telling men that, you know, just take it
by the the bull, by the horns a little, that's right.
I do have a relationship show on Saturday nights right
here on this station, nine to midnight. So see, I like,
Ali you did you see he just reversed dunk it was?
You gave me a meat? Very good. Well, this has

(01:19:16):
