the sexiest man alive.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
You're stuck in the room with you.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I've now had way too much touch down.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I got a lot of I.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Upped it on my own, uh, and have been up
since too. So there's all those, all.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Those factors getting you, buddy.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I don't know if maybe that was it. I don't
gotten with me.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
I got up at three, which would have been four,
and it's still very annoying.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
That could be what it was. Yeah, so I got up,
I got up extra early. And uh, and I did
you tap into the testoster a little too much propperly? Uh?
I got that going on?
Speaker 4 (03:14):
But uh, thanks, so did you but you re hit
it again because you did too much last time.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I did too much of the uh the other stuff
they tricepartide. But I have lost weight, which is good. See,
I bumped it up. So I did my own my
own medical uh you know, uh, you know, you know,
figured it out, did the did the cross the te
to the eye, like okay, yeah, if I do this
much more, I'll lose a little bit more weight. And
(03:38):
it worked. Now I did feel sick for like three days,
but it worked. That's all that matters.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I guess, man, I don't know. Yeah, you get weird
on this stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I feeling stealth right now. My knees don't hurt. I
could run down the hallway. Uh, I got extra coffee
in me, been up since two.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Say you could run down the hallway. What do you
mean by that?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I mean you know how I usually limp down the hallway?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Angel No, So do you mean you could be in
a full out run? Because I'm willing I want to
see that.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Oh yeah, yeah, I can full out run right if
if need be for sure, if something was chasing me,
I could you know what? So many somebody one of
the salespeople here and I'm not going to say what
sent me? Send me an email and want to know
if I wanted to be a part of a four
with four k uh four one k race usually five whatever,
(04:29):
five K four k and I'm like, you got to
be out of your mind. Once again, proven she didn't
know me at all. Why would I want to be
a part of a five k h?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Well you know that nowadays, and this is probably why
she thought of you, in the sense of that that
particular four k it's run walk.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
It's all right, I ain't doing that. I ain't doing
it so you could walk it. I was watching all
the people that did the the New York Marathon. You
know what's that twenty is that twenty seven miles? Twenty
six point five twenty six point five miles? And the
one dude, there's a dude that did it ran the
twenty sixth point whatever miles. And then he had two
shows on Broadway and they didn't like, you know, interviews
(05:07):
with this guy. Uh and uh. I'm like, man asked
a lot and he said he did it. He wanted
his kids one day go, you know what, my dad
could do anything. And I'm like, man, my dad just
built at a Frankenstein and put it in a chair.
This guy ran a marathon. I don't know. Did you
guys ever have the the inkling the want the desire
(05:27):
to run a marathon like that?
Speaker 4 (05:29):
No, me, neither angel you ever had a half hour's
best case?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I did like a half marathon once.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Did you how to feel it was cool?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I mean like it's one of those things like I
did it cool, got it done, and I'm uh, like,
way before, like when I was going to the gym
a lot, I had done a couple of those five
K charity things too.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah, no, no, uh, no desire at all to run
any kind of five k. But there were people that
it's like it's their thing, you know. They they wanted
to get a front here and say that. Like god
that I became up us with it. The two that
I did was because I kind of same way. That
was an email from corporate and I was like, oh,
this would be a cool thing to do for like
networking kind of thing. It wasn't that I had to
(06:09):
desire to run all.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
You know what I'm saying, I'm not that guy.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
So yeah, best case scenario, like you know, two and
a half hours. You know that's like, if you're all
with that mostly for me, probably would take me six
hours the.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Max amount of time that they gave in.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, I think it's a max they give you to
run the marathon. It's like fifteen thousand people try to
run it.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Yeah, this one was close, right, Wasn't this like a
neck and neck race for the first time in a while.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah. Two got two dudes from I think from Kenya
or something that were really really close, like a neck
and neck and then the two women from Kenya like.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Twenty six point two more specific. Thanks you, yeah, thanks
for the text twenty six.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Point two miles. I mean there are people, there are
people that that's their dream, man, that's their thing, and
I'm not gonna yuck. They're young, man, If that's what
they want to do, ain't mad at you. It's just not.
I don't body is not built for that distance. Don't
think it ever was, you know. I mean I'm not
I'm not built to be a runner.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
No, you're more of an Indiana Jones chaser.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I'm a lifter. I think I can lift things, you know,
But as far as running for twenty six miles, man,
don't what do you think about all that time.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
That's right, that's the mental that's the mental game of it, though,
that's what that's what that is is the as much
as the physicality of it. It is the being being
able mentally to kind of fight through that. And so
it's it's a it's the ultimate challenge of your body.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
I think as someone with ADHD. I did five k once.
It was the worst thing.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I kept looking at it.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Twenty six miles one time.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
No, five k oh, five k?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
What is this called? This is a this is a
marathon marathon.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Like this is three point two miles. They're not that
hard to do, but for me, it's mentally exhausted. I
just keep looking at the damn. I'm like, okay, I
just got to get to that mailbox. You don't go
to that mailbox. That mailbox I walk.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I walked one of those. Yeah, I did do the
FI Okay, so five I did do that. I didn't
run it though. I walked in and was like, thanks
to mean morning.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
You do one for what's his name, the attorney and
the kid that they walk around Morgan's thing. I will
run Mike you ola, I thought you did yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yeah, yeah, that was like that was a happy I
did that was I walked the whole thing, you know,
uh and talk to people and so it kind of
took my time. But to actually run it and be
serious about it, I do. You know, God bless people
that do it.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
But those people are always interrupted Monday. They could they win.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
A park does a lot of like marathons in five
k's And as I'm setting up.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
For cattle corn in the morning, I'm just watching these people.
They all look miserable.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
That's what I think. I'm like, you guys, I look happy,
and there's so many of these merit and that's what
you know, if you want to raise money. I had
someone else from Johnny's other side, the other Johnny's other
siecause they rush. We could do a monster marathon. I'm like, bro,
I just you know, to be honest with you, I
couldn't sell it because what do you mean? I said,
I can only really talk about stuff. I'm really into it.
I'm just not. He looks so disappointed in me, But
(08:54):
I said, I'm just not into running the backroom. We
could do something else. Is it anything else you want
to do? I'll be good, but I just can't sell
something I'm really not excited about.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
People that are into running, they like they love it,
love it. But you'll see them and their bodies are
all messed up. They got bad knee, they always wearing
a knee brace, and they're like, I still love running.
I'm like, this seems like a terrible exercise.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Feet are all messed up.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Yeah, yeah, I feel like there's a lot better in
life that you could do.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
There's plenty of runners that aren't like what you're describing
right now.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Bloody nipples, they get that nipple.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
There's a commiserating that's going on there.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
There's a fantastic runners.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
For My doctor flat out told me running is bad
for you. You shouldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
It's it's super bad on your knees.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah, bad on your knees. You're not a runner. Don't
be a runner. You go lift weights all you want,
but don't run. Okay, that's the one time I'm gonna
listen to the doctor. Now, I'm gonna shoot up more
test sastrow than I need because it helps.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
I think you just gotta be a certain kind of
person for that. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna knock
you if if that's what you like, that's what you like,
but it is not for me.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I watch those people like, man, if my body was
would built for that. I mean, man, I guess it's
kind of cool. You know, you're you're lean your entire life.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
And it was like the Iron Man ones were like,
it's you do a marathon, then your bike for one
hundred miles.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
He had a really cool uh. He had a really
cool image of in his office of him competing in
one of.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Those My buddy Omar Rodriguez over from Carl Black Chevrolet,
Buick and GMC. He flies around the world to go
to different Iron Man fans and he's he was a
marine and all this stuff.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
I saw him at the Crimeline Awards ceremony. I was,
I was, he's very he's very in shape.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah. And you know when I first
met him, he was he doesn't you mad, but he was.
He was a little he was a little more dowey, right,
and then all of a sudden he stoped. He would
he was bass fishing all the time, and he's like,
you know what I got done with the bass fishing.
I decided I was going to train for the the
Iron Man. Next thing, you know, he's all thin and
skinny and in shape and and uh like instead of
(10:53):
instead of driving a beautiful you know, corvette to work,
he runs to work. It's like he is into it
as a So it's so crazy.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
I guess it's like mildly inspiring when dudes and they're
like mid mid thirties, early forties, they can like get
into shape and it because I like, I was in
shape at a time where it was really easy to
be in shape, you know what I mean. It was
like from sixteen to like twenty eight, and it was
like super easy. And now when I see people do,
I know how hard it is to do that. So
I do, in a way find those guys inspiring, but
(11:23):
I also don't want to do it.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
You know what Omar told me, and correct me if
I'm wrong with those of you that are are listening
to us right now and you're into marathons and all this,
that when you do an iron Man or a marathon,
you're not allowed to have earbuds in. That's part of
the thing, is you're not allowed to have music. You
have to have the earbuds out if you're going to
be in an official race.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Wow, that makes it so much worse.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I mean, then you're in your head for two I
don't want to have three hours, not not for a
iron man. I think it's almost eighteen hours man.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Yeah, like, but even the marathon two and a half hours,
and that's going at top speed, and the just people
pooped and self when they're done too right.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
The distinction there is though, the people that are not
allowed to wear the earbuds are like the like for example,
the canyons that are running. If you're in that category
of elite runner, yeah, then you're not allowed. Neither one
of you, gentlemen would be in that category, so you
could wear the earbuds all you.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Want, I get beat a canyon. An iron man is
sixteen to seventeen hours.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
That's what he told me. And you can't wear earbuds,
and you're just thinking the whole time, and you and
you're you're you're running and then you're biking and then
you're swimming. That's just I guess sane.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Like a professional athlete will finish it in eight to nine.
An amateur if could finish it in around eleven to fourteen,
and then you got a full time little bit of
seventeen hours.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, I think Omar told me it tooks like sixteen
hours or something.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
I can't even binge watch a show for seventeen hours, right,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (12:47):
I am bored.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
There's not much I can do for that much time.
But anyway, H point me in that. When that that
sales rep asked me if I wanted to be a
part of the five K, I said, no, thank you
very much much, not my thing. I can't do that. Wet.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
All these textures texting how they can run? Shut up?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
See what now?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
People texting in.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Like I've done it, I can do this, blah blah blah,
shut up.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Trying to remind you too that there's other forms of cardio.
You just don't have to run. Talking about sex walking today, bro,
hell Russ you get a semi tubby with him walking
in And now somebody said there's other forms of cardio.
We're talking about marathons and you go straight to that.
Speaker 2 (13:33):

Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yeah, you have to for our insurance to get the discount,

to share with you guys. And I'm hooked on these
right now for the moment.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
The convenience store that I like to go to right
around the corner here to grab a cup of coffee,
they got me and these things are amazing. And uh
in the Japanese stuff yet, Yep, this is the Japanese
style egg salad sandwich. It's maid with fluffy milk bread.
It's absolutely amazing, sounds pretty good. It is absolutely ridiculously good.
(17:07):
And uh. Like I was in there grabbing my coffee
right and the commercial play and I was like, you
know in star commercial, I was like, get out of here,
and I went and grabbed one, and I was like,
oh my gosh, this is amazing.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
So what are you doing with all the extra care? Because,
like I said, we had a salesperson come in here.
They had bags of candy trying to give it away,
trying to get rid of it. And there's a story
today on National Candy Day where a lot of people,
a lot of Americans feel guilty throwing away candy, but
they feel like they probably should. What do you do
with all your extra candy? Angel?
Speaker 3 (17:37):
So I use it. I don't need a whole lot
of candy at home. I use it for like rewards
like the like for with my daughter, my nephew or
my niece such as yeah, so uh every now and then,
I you know, I did what was gonna try to say,
the the the little bite ones, those are the ones
that I'll jump on, and that's what I grabbed. That's
the other thing that she had yesterday was a little Twizzlers.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, it was a bag, a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I know.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
She didn't take any candy yesterday. Are you are you
a candy guy? Now?
Speaker 5 (18:03):
I's I didn't buy candy this year at all because
I was like, I only have twelve trig or treaters.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
I spend the rest of the next six months.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
My candy and I get I'll gain a bunch of
weight and so I can't have it in my house.
So like somebody very nicely. People people know I like
gummy bears. It's kind of like it's kind of a kryptonite, right,
So somebody got me a big bag of gummy bears.
But the bag was all individual It was like a
bunch of individually wrapped ones, right, the small packs, those
snack packs not for me, buddy.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
I tear into those.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
So my wife hides them throughout, like, and I don't
know where she hides them, and I purposely don't ask.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
And every now and then, like she'll pull out a
bag for me and they give me a gummy berry.
It's like a little treat.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
No, I can't have candy in my house.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
The only thing I can't. And you're right about the pineapple.
I was kind of just teasing, but I have, Like
I went shopping yesterday to try to get all my superfoods,
you know, because I'm paying attention to that yome thing
that I have that tells me the superfoods I'm supposed
to eat. And I got berries and stuff for sweets
because I need, you know, you do. I do, like
crave a sweet every once in a while. But if I,
as you guys know, if I eat anything that's sweet,
(19:06):
I'm in a bad mood for like an hour afterwards.
It makes my sugar spike and it just affects me differently.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Yeah, I've been needing a lot more of Like there's
a mix of watermelon that they do over at the
grocery store that I go to. Saw they do like
two for three. And then I grabbed some pineapple and
eating apples and trying to increase all of that.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
So now I did do this, even though the sugar
content is higher. I did after our conversation yesterday, I
did buy some miracle whip because I had forgotten how
much I like miracle whip. Oh boy. But you know,
I doubled up with all the other stuff I'm supposed
to beating, like lean meats in the right kind of
bread and you know, all that. But a little bit
of miracle whip on a boy, and that tasted good.
I had a roast beef sandwich with Swiss cheese on
(19:49):
rye bread and miracle whip, and it was a damn winner.
Put me in a good mood.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
I'm happy for you, buddy.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
I don't know you thought about meericle whip after you
left the show.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
No, he thought about it the whole time. We were
talking about it. Because it was National Mayonnaise Day.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
It was well, no, it wasn't I just sandwich day.
It was National sandwich Day.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
And so actually I changed it on the show called
The National and.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I had to go get I had to do a
little shopping and get all my superfoods, you know, because
Mary Ellen won't she She's not.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Good at buying my superfood. She just buys food food.
Would you think it's National Candy Day? Because I know,
I get it, it's Halloween. But also this is the
from this point on, this is where you get like
the fall candies, the Christmas candies like like this last
three months of the year, it's always heavy candy across
the board.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
And so for Christmas, yeah, you're right, a lot of
not really as much as you got.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
The fall candy dish that gets put out there.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I don't you know what I think about it. For Thanksgiving,
I think about nuts, like that's nut time. I don't
know why, but at my at my house, my family,
that's what we know. That's what all the nuts would
be out for Thanksgiving. And in the first hour at
my nanny's house or my mom's we would have nuts everywhere.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
And that was one of the things that one of
my superfoods. I can eat brazil nuts and peanuts and
what's the other nuts? Almond nuts, you know, all kinds
of nuts. Though I can, I can nut it up.
But then then you go back to candy for a
Christmas Wait what Yeah, a candy candy is more of
(21:23):
a Christmas thing, not Thanksgiving thing.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Now I I did it, Okay, So this Thanksgiving candies, yeah,
there's tradition. These are what are considered traditional fall candies.
Toffee and brittle, marshmallow, tree spice, brittle, butter, rum caramels,
and ginger candies.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Brittle is good. Now, why do we chopol brittle? Brittle
is good?
Speaker 4 (21:44):
If it's not good.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
If somebody makes some good peanut brittle, damn that is good.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
It's like from the Middle Ages, like we have such
better candy technology.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
They got some stuff right, one hundred years ago.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
When do you think the Middle Ages a long long
time ago? You have to guess eighteen hundred somewhere.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
How old is peanut brittle?
Speaker 4 (22:09):
It feels old.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
It feels like a peasant made it in the street
of the of old England.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Well, peanuts, I mean, peanut butter is not that old, I.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Know, but peanuts are humans said, peanuts haven't been around
that long.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Peanut brittle is over one hundred and seventy years old.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
All right, so I'm so old.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
That was far off.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I wasn't that damn far off?
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Okay, So what's the oldest candy?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Then? The oldest candy. Hold on, let me think butterscotch worthers, whatever,
are damn good. It makes sense to me think about it.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Peppermint, no dates, it's a candy that like you're like,
it's one of those candies that you're like, why is
this candy?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
It's gross.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
I'm just gonna go with the what the watch one
of those wafers. No, it's black licorice. Yeah, yeah, candy.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
It's it's some of the oldest candy historically.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
But honey based candy goes all the way back to
the Egyptians, so you can find some sweet honey trees
back in the day.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
So back in like the in like the fifteen hundreds,
there was candy for kids. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Yeah, candy's been around for like four thousand years apparently.
So the oldest commercially sold candy in America is the
Gibraltar Company. Gibraltar and they made the ye old pepper
candy companies we get.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
We like as kids, was candy a big deal to
you guys? What?
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Yes, it's like the only deal.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
Yeah, Like I mean Halloween for me, like I would
try to get a full pillow case full of candy.
I would go out for hours, hit different neighborhoods, and
then eat that candy for about a month.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I've always kind of been indifferent about it, Like, like me,
it was always just sandwiches, which is like, it was
not like you did to have a sandwich holiday?
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Are you get sandwiches from your neighbors?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I told you. When I was a kid, my mom
got me like a like one of those guns that
you could use to shoot things, but it had it
was like with a with a light, you know, so
the light would hit a thing and it would knock
a can off, and it didn't really work that great.
And my mom was like, you didn't like your Christmas gift?
Speaker 3 (24:19):
But not really?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
When you want something else, I'm like, yeah, what do
you want? I want one of them Hamburger makers. I
got to go to Service Merchandise and pick it out,
and I got one of those Hamburger makers. It was
kind of like a George Foreman, but it was before
George Foreman as where you put the what was it
called hamburg or something magic, Hamburger magic or something like that.
But I trade I traded in the gun for Hamburger Magic,
(24:42):
and I made hamburgers for all my friends for the
entire summer.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Was it a toy or was this like for adults
to make hamburg.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
It was for adults to make hamburgers. And there's a
special name for it. And was at service merchandise. It's
like hamburger or not mister Hamburger. Not mister Hamburger. I
don't think I had another name to it.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
I had like a McDonald's one. But it made like.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
It was the It was indy.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
It was the little boy version of the what's that?
What was that? Easy bake oven?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Is like, by the way, it's a National Easy Bake
Oven Day?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Is it really real?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yeah, that's the funny that you bring You bring that up,
did you guys? Okay? I had a sister, and of
course my sister had an easy bake oven, and she
wouldn't use it as much as I'm like, let me
make let me make some cakes. I would go over
there and use her easy bake oven and make cakes
all the time.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Is this a meat grind? I'm trying to find that.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
I can't the internet is it's black and it made
and it was the seventies sixties.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
It was in the seventies, probably seventy four. Uh, And
you and you put the hamburger in and you squid. Uh.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
And it wasn't a McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
No, it was a hamburg oh Man had had a
funny name to it, hamburger.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Something presto burger.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Presto burger. That's exactly what it was. Thank you nineteen
said for a presto burger, And I got a presto
burger instead of a gun. And like, I didn't really
like candie, but I'd made Please give me some burgers.
I can make it for my friends. And I was
trying to entertain my friends even way back then. There,
that's it right there, it's black presto burger.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
How about this I got.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
They still make a presto burger.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
I checked this out. This is the commercial that ran.
This is potentially the commercial that ran that changed Russ's life.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yes, Presto.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Presto.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
It's the Presto burger. Electric hamburger cook broils a juicy
hamburger in about a minute.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Presto, no splattering, no smoke.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Clean up is easy, just wash and wipe, Presto a
hamburger in a minute for snacks, lunch, anytime anyone wants
a delicious hamburger fast. The Presto Presto Burger, an original
from Presto.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I would eat. I would think I was playing, right,
I like three burgers and then I bite my friend, mom,
I needs some more hamburger meet like that was Preslo
burger Man.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
So we know as the kids, we never got into
That's why I'm fat.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Just rob me.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Yes, we never got into those because but do you
remember that there was another company that was selling and
I don't know if it was Presto, but we begged
our parents for this and it was basically the first
home version of a deep friar and it was called
the fry Daddy or something like.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
You make friends with it?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Oh dude, what about that?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Next?
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I that was the one that we.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
I myself with The don't make the Presto Burger anymore,
but they do make the Fried Daddy.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
The Presto Burgers evolved to the George Foreman.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Yeah, but the Fried Daddy. I got one of those
and I burned myself.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
And that that one was the one that we begged
our parents for. And there was like in like the eighties,
there were there's a kids commercial for that thing. Yeah,
and then made it sound like you could just.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Basically basically green that is boiling.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Yeah, and I tried to that was like, there's no
way we're getting that for you guys. Sorry, no, yeah,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
I don't blame him.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Uh yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Presler Burger basically is the George Foreman. But but they
it kept all the grease in there, you know, George Foreman,
it was it was you know, obviously nobody knows. It
was tilted a little bit and all the grease would
fall out. Presler Berger kept the grease, which was actually better.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Just take a grill and make it slanted.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Isn't that crazy? You know? The story behind that they
were looking for it. They had they had a mixer
like you know, like you use right now to mix
your shakes and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
And then they had the George Foreman we call it now,
and they called Hulk Hogan and like, hey, listen, we
got two again to night and we want you to
to you know, to endorse. It could be years the
Hulk Hogan grill. And he thought that was stupid, so
he went with the other thing because it could mix
up his protein shakes for working out. And obviously George
Foreman did better. But they he had the first right
(28:59):
of refusal on that, and he totally blew it.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
So, yeah, today's National Easy Bake Oven Day. Did you
guys ever use the East bake Oven?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
No?
Speaker 2 (29:06):
No, girl? Well I know that's what everybody would say,
like thanks for girls, But I'm like, everybody eats cakes,
everybody eats corn bread, Like, like, what's wrong with me
using that?
Speaker 5 (29:15):
I had the manly version of that, that was the
creepy crawler. It would it was the easy bake oven,
but instead of making food, you made like plastic y
worms and whatnot.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Well, you know, all my and I know we got
to go, but this is true story. So so you know,
all my friends would tease me because I would use
my sister's easy bake oven. I'm like, oh, stop it.
That's you're making a big deal about nothing, you guys.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
You know.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
And then one of the I got became really friendly
with and friends with Michael Wansei. Michael Wansei, uh, for
those that don't know, was on the Philis file many
many years ago, famously a gay guy that is super
super nicamous. That was part of the reason he was
there because he was gay, uh and famously gay. He
was famously gay and so I went to his house
(29:59):
and he showed me he has a collection of easy
bake ovens because he said his dad, his mom and
dad wouldn't let him have one when he was a kid.
So then he's got like the very first easy big oven.
And I'm like, oh man, easy make ovens were for
good guys. And he's had a presto burger.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
You want to make out, That's what.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
I told him. I had a presto burger. Uh. But uh,
but not gay anyway. Uh, take a little break. Don't
go anywhere you're gay. Famously, I'm not gay. You're listening
to the Monster in the Morning. Welcome back to the
Monsters Morning's Rodeo one oh four point one. I hope
(30:36):
you're having a good Tuesday so far. I am Russ
Rollins along with Angel Rivera and Ryan Holmes. Uh, hey,
so did this yesterday. I'm making, you know, starting to
make a little normally, you you would think I'd made
plans some time ago. I kind of waited the last
minute and was gonna you know, I knew I wanted
the time off. I didn't know exactly what we're gonna
(30:56):
do for this weekend. It's my eight year anniversary. For
those who've been listening for long time, you realize that
is my record. That is the longest I've ever been married,
eight years, So it deserves some celebration. And then you know,
we get, you know, because of what we do. You know,
the last couple weeks of the month of December, we
get to you know, play best of and have some
time off to kind of you know, get everything all
(31:17):
back together and get ready for a brand new year.
And and that's when the ratings don't really count and
all that kind of stuff. So we we all take
a couple of weeks off and so I can plan
a trip then. So I was, I went home yesterday
to plan something for this weekend and then to plan
for December. And I've got that blue Green U timeshare
thing where basically any any major city I could go
(31:39):
to and do whatever. And as I'm sitting there planning,
I'll be honest with you, I'm like, I not only
do I not want a plan to fly anywhere this weekend,
I don't think I feel comfortable making plans to fly
anywhere in December. It's only like a two months from now,
And I mean, I know the government shut down should
be over by then and and everything should be okay
(32:02):
with uh, you know, air traffic controllers by December the
you know, the twentieth or whatever. But you just don't know,
and so I didn't. I only make plans for places
that we could drive to and decided not to fly
to any place to do. Man, you don't know.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Right, I mean, because you would, you know, especially you're
in a sublet, you know, celebrating, and that gets kind
of marred in the fact that you get stuck at
the airport for how many hours? You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Yeah, I was watching video yesterday of people like stuck
in airports, you know, for and of course this weekend.
I mean I doubt the government shut down will be
over this weekend, so it's still And then I don't
really trust the air traffic control situation. You know, a
lot of the people that are good at what they're
doing or find another jobs they're not. They're not they're
not being paid. Now, who knows how great it's gonna
(32:54):
be at the end of December. I mean, you would
hope it'd be over by then, but there's no guarantee.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Yeah, I don't know, dude.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
I saw the video of it was Houston Airport yesterday.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
And and that's it.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
Yeah, there's just the line of people, uh that because
all these TSA workers, these uh tower workers all calling
in sick and whatnot.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
So this and who blamed who?
Speaker 2 (33:16):
You can't blame. They're asking them to work for free. Well,
just work for free. You'll get paid whenever we work
this all out. But I mean they've got you know,
they've got bills to pay, they've got families, they got kids.
They and then imagine if you're going to work and
you got to pay your your your daycare, right, well
you don't have the money to pay the daycare if
you can't. Like it's a it's a complete cluster. And
uh and yet and making a decision, we just decided
(33:37):
to stay, well, you know, to go where we can drive.
We're gonna just kind of drive over to clear Water
and then for the holiday, we're gonna you know, drive
to New Orleans and stop you know, you know, on
the halfway there. But yeah, man, just didn't didn't feel
comfortable planning any any plane flight. And I and and
if I did it right, I wonder how many other
(33:58):
people and going Okay, we're not gonna.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Yeah, it's crazy, man, Like I like this this kind
of thing where like you shut down for like the military,
for the TSA, for the air traff control, all the.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
People that rely on government money.
Speaker 5 (34:10):
Like I've always heard that like about only a quarter
of Americans have like two thousand dollars in their bank account.
Yeah right, Like, I mean seventy five percent any given
moment only has like a couple hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Imagine going without two paychecks. I mean, most people can't
go without two paychecks. You know, they don't have enough
save for that. And and uh, you got to feel
for these folks. And I know, you know, it gets
into a debate of it's this side fault, it's that
size fault. I mean, I think we all would have
to agree the buck stops with one guy who's supposed
to be the leader, and that's the guy that's supposed
to straighten it out. I mean, if you're supposed to
be this incredible negotiator, hey, do your incredible negotiating now.
(34:46):
Because there's a lot of really good people and a
lot of like older people. This is not just you
know you you wouldn't think it's all just the Democrats.
That's not true. And a lot of veterans that need
this money, a lot of you kids, a lot of people.
This is like, Hey, this is when if you are
a great negotiator, you get your ass in there and
you do it and and show that you've got some
(35:06):
leadership qualities. Right now there there's none being shown. But anyway,
with that being said, I don't feel safe flying and
I don't know that I would make uh age in.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
The road trip within the state or without are you
driving outside of the state.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
We're going to go to clear Water on Saturday and
there's this one day like cruise thing that we're going
to do, and then we're driving to New Orleans for Christmas,
right and uh, and we've got a uh with the
blue green thing. We've got a place to stay in
the Panhandle, you know, So I just drive halfway and
then and we're like right downtown in New Orleans. So
we're going to do that for several days and then
(35:39):
drive back and then for New Year's Eve will be
in the Panhandle again. So we're in panandle uh Panama City, Okay.
And they've got it's a blue green like resort kind
of a thing there. And if you get a chance.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
I don't know if you've ever been and see if
that is available to but check out like the Niceville
Destined Crushview area. That's a really beautiful part of the
pant I got family up there.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
We could do that on the way Actually, we actually
have a plan on the way there. The plan is
only on the way back, so that might be a
really good suggestion to do.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
On the one hand, is like absolutely beautiful, beautiful part
of Florida and the and the Painhandle and everything. On
the other hand, in those of the particular areas, uh,
they have been building the hell out of it with
just these crazy homes and townhomes, but it's still that
you still could get there and see a really cool
version of Florida. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
So as of tomorrow, it will be the longest government
shut down in the history of the United States of America.
How much longer do you think it can go or
will go? I mean, because if the if the if
the airports are closed down, that's a that's an issue.
I mean, I know, like they can they can turn
their head to oh well, there's some people that are
that are hungry. They won't pay attention to that as much.
(36:48):
But the airport's closed down. That means money, and they'll
have to solve that issue, right.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (36:55):
I'm like, what I'm worried about is like this, we
just keep shooting ourselves in the foot. We're sitting on
a bubble economy already, and bubbles just take something to
make them pop.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
And I feel like, if we go too far on.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
This, it's just gonna we're crashing our own economy for
for what like that. That's kind of where I'm at.
It doesn't none of this makes sense to me. It's
and I'm not.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
A political person, so I don't know.
Speaker 5 (37:18):
Yeah, you know, but I just like get people paid,
like and I learned a ton about snap benefits I
knew nothing about before because the goddamn TikTok.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
And blowing up with nonsense about it.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Here's a question that's coming in right now. Did you
put the blame on Obama? Once again? This is the
you know you're gonna, you know, bring up somebody else
we're talking about what about it? When the government was said, hey,
he's not the president right now, I I blame whoever
the president is right now, and back then I blame
whoever the president was then and then after that it
was whoever the president was, then whoever's the president is
the person that's in charge of keeping it all together.
(37:51):
So you can bring up other names if you want to,
and it makes you feel better, But as of right now,
it's the worst shut down in the history of our country.
And there's one leader, the guy that says he's the
best negotiator on the planet. So do the simple math.
It's pretty simple math there, I think, and I'm a
simpleton and I can figure that out. All right, We're
(38:12):
gonna take a little break. When we come back, we'll
do trivia. Your chance to win some stuff, So get
on the line. The telephone number is four oh seven
nine one six one o four one. Angels have some
great prizes the past couple of weeks. We'll see what

shirt out for you? It's like a sexy white shirt.
It is after labor day. You're not supposed to be wearing.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
What is this after labor? Florida snow here.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
It don't look right and something I don't know, but
you look like you're trying to be sexy. You look
like you've got a Brad Pitt shirt on or something.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
The answer to question is yes, my wife loves these
little polo knitted polos.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
You have a white knitted polo on. Like he found
out that they've got a new Sexiest Man Alive. We'll
tell I don't even know who the guy is, but
you know, and it looks like you're running for it.
It looks like you decided you you want to be
the sexiest man alive.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
You're stuck in the room with you.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I've now had way too much touch down.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I got a lot of I.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Upped it on my own, uh, and have been up
since too. So there's all those, all.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Those factors getting you, buddy.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I don't know if maybe that was it. I don't
gotten with me.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
I got up at three, which would have been four,
and it's still very annoying.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
That could be what it was. Yeah, so I got up,
I got up extra early. And uh, and I did
you tap into the testoster a little too much propperly? Uh?
I got that going on?
Speaker 4 (03:14):
But uh, thanks, so did you but you re hit
it again because you did too much last time.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I did too much of the uh the other stuff
they tricepartide. But I have lost weight, which is good. See,
I bumped it up. So I did my own my
own medical uh you know, uh, you know, you know,
figured it out, did the did the cross the te
to the eye, like okay, yeah, if I do this
much more, I'll lose a little bit more weight. And
(03:38):
it worked. Now I did feel sick for like three days,
but it worked. That's all that matters.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I guess, man, I don't know. Yeah, you get weird
on this stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I feeling stealth right now. My knees don't hurt. I
could run down the hallway. Uh, I got extra coffee
in me, been up since two.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Say you could run down the hallway. What do you
mean by that?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I mean you know how I usually limp down the hallway?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Angel No, So do you mean you could be in
a full out run? Because I'm willing I want to
see that.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Oh yeah, yeah, I can full out run right if
if need be for sure, if something was chasing me,
I could you know what? So many somebody one of
the salespeople here and I'm not going to say what
sent me? Send me an email and want to know
if I wanted to be a part of a four
with four k uh four one k race usually five whatever,
(04:29):
five K four k and I'm like, you got to
be out of your mind. Once again, proven she didn't
know me at all. Why would I want to be
a part of a five k h?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Well you know that nowadays, and this is probably why
she thought of you, in the sense of that that
particular four k it's run walk.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
It's all right, I ain't doing that. I ain't doing
it so you could walk it. I was watching all
the people that did the the New York Marathon. You
know what's that twenty is that twenty seven miles? Twenty
six point five twenty six point five miles? And the
one dude, there's a dude that did it ran the
twenty sixth point whatever miles. And then he had two
shows on Broadway and they didn't like, you know, interviews
(05:07):
with this guy. Uh and uh. I'm like, man asked
a lot and he said he did it. He wanted
his kids one day go, you know what, my dad
could do anything. And I'm like, man, my dad just
built at a Frankenstein and put it in a chair.
This guy ran a marathon. I don't know. Did you
guys ever have the the inkling the want the desire
(05:27):
to run a marathon like that?
Speaker 4 (05:29):
No, me, neither angel you ever had a half hour's
best case?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I did like a half marathon once.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Did you how to feel it was cool?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I mean like it's one of those things like I
did it cool, got it done, and I'm uh, like,
way before, like when I was going to the gym
a lot, I had done a couple of those five
K charity things too.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah, no, no, uh, no desire at all to run
any kind of five k. But there were people that
it's like it's their thing, you know. They they wanted
to get a front here and say that. Like god
that I became up us with it. The two that
I did was because I kind of same way. That
was an email from corporate and I was like, oh,
this would be a cool thing to do for like
networking kind of thing. It wasn't that I had to
(06:09):
desire to run all.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
You know what I'm saying, I'm not that guy.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
So yeah, best case scenario, like you know, two and
a half hours. You know that's like, if you're all
with that mostly for me, probably would take me six
hours the.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Max amount of time that they gave in.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, I think it's a max they give you to
run the marathon. It's like fifteen thousand people try to
run it.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Yeah, this one was close, right, Wasn't this like a
neck and neck race for the first time in a while.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah. Two got two dudes from I think from Kenya
or something that were really really close, like a neck
and neck and then the two women from Kenya like.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Twenty six point two more specific. Thanks you, yeah, thanks
for the text twenty six.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Point two miles. I mean there are people, there are
people that that's their dream, man, that's their thing, and
I'm not gonna yuck. They're young, man, If that's what
they want to do, ain't mad at you. It's just not.
I don't body is not built for that distance. Don't
think it ever was, you know. I mean I'm not
I'm not built to be a runner.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
No, you're more of an Indiana Jones chaser.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I'm a lifter. I think I can lift things, you know,
But as far as running for twenty six miles, man,
don't what do you think about all that time.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
That's right, that's the mental that's the mental game of it, though,
that's what that's what that is is the as much
as the physicality of it. It is the being being
able mentally to kind of fight through that. And so
it's it's a it's the ultimate challenge of your body.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
I think as someone with ADHD. I did five k once.
It was the worst thing.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I kept looking at it.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Twenty six miles one time.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
No, five k oh, five k?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
What is this called? This is a this is a
marathon marathon.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Like this is three point two miles. They're not that
hard to do, but for me, it's mentally exhausted. I
just keep looking at the damn. I'm like, okay, I
just got to get to that mailbox. You don't go
to that mailbox. That mailbox I walk.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I walked one of those. Yeah, I did do the
FI Okay, so five I did do that. I didn't
run it though. I walked in and was like, thanks
to mean morning.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
You do one for what's his name, the attorney and
the kid that they walk around Morgan's thing. I will
run Mike you ola, I thought you did yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yeah, yeah, that was like that was a happy I
did that was I walked the whole thing, you know,
uh and talk to people and so it kind of
took my time. But to actually run it and be
serious about it, I do. You know, God bless people
that do it.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
But those people are always interrupted Monday. They could they win.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
A park does a lot of like marathons in five
k's And as I'm setting up.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
For cattle corn in the morning, I'm just watching these people.
They all look miserable.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
That's what I think. I'm like, you guys, I look happy,
and there's so many of these merit and that's what
you know, if you want to raise money. I had
someone else from Johnny's other side, the other Johnny's other
siecause they rush. We could do a monster marathon. I'm like, bro,
I just you know, to be honest with you, I
couldn't sell it because what do you mean? I said,
I can only really talk about stuff. I'm really into it.
I'm just not. He looks so disappointed in me, But
(08:54):
I said, I'm just not into running the backroom. We
could do something else. Is it anything else you want
to do? I'll be good, but I just can't sell
something I'm really not excited about.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
People that are into running, they like they love it,
love it. But you'll see them and their bodies are
all messed up. They got bad knee, they always wearing
a knee brace, and they're like, I still love running.
I'm like, this seems like a terrible exercise.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Feet are all messed up.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Yeah, yeah, I feel like there's a lot better in
life that you could do.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
There's plenty of runners that aren't like what you're describing
right now.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Bloody nipples, they get that nipple.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
There's a commiserating that's going on there.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
There's a fantastic runners.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
For My doctor flat out told me running is bad
for you. You shouldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
It's it's super bad on your knees.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah, bad on your knees. You're not a runner. Don't
be a runner. You go lift weights all you want,
but don't run. Okay, that's the one time I'm gonna
listen to the doctor. Now, I'm gonna shoot up more
test sastrow than I need because it helps.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
I think you just gotta be a certain kind of
person for that. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna knock
you if if that's what you like, that's what you like,
but it is not for me.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I watch those people like, man, if my body was
would built for that. I mean, man, I guess it's
kind of cool. You know, you're you're lean your entire life.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
And it was like the Iron Man ones were like,
it's you do a marathon, then your bike for one
hundred miles.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
He had a really cool uh. He had a really
cool image of in his office of him competing in
one of.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Those My buddy Omar Rodriguez over from Carl Black Chevrolet,
Buick and GMC. He flies around the world to go
to different Iron Man fans and he's he was a
marine and all this stuff.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
I saw him at the Crimeline Awards ceremony. I was,
I was, he's very he's very in shape.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah. And you know when I first
met him, he was he doesn't you mad, but he was.
He was a little he was a little more dowey, right,
and then all of a sudden he stoped. He would
he was bass fishing all the time, and he's like,
you know what I got done with the bass fishing.
I decided I was going to train for the the
Iron Man. Next thing, you know, he's all thin and
skinny and in shape and and uh like instead of
(10:53):
instead of driving a beautiful you know, corvette to work,
he runs to work. It's like he is into it
as a So it's so crazy.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
I guess it's like mildly inspiring when dudes and they're
like mid mid thirties, early forties, they can like get
into shape and it because I like, I was in
shape at a time where it was really easy to
be in shape, you know what I mean. It was
like from sixteen to like twenty eight, and it was
like super easy. And now when I see people do,
I know how hard it is to do that. So
I do, in a way find those guys inspiring, but
(11:23):
I also don't want to do it.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
You know what Omar told me, and correct me if
I'm wrong with those of you that are are listening
to us right now and you're into marathons and all this,
that when you do an iron Man or a marathon,
you're not allowed to have earbuds in. That's part of
the thing, is you're not allowed to have music. You
have to have the earbuds out if you're going to
be in an official race.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Wow, that makes it so much worse.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I mean, then you're in your head for two I
don't want to have three hours, not not for a
iron man. I think it's almost eighteen hours man.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Yeah, like, but even the marathon two and a half hours,
and that's going at top speed, and the just people
pooped and self when they're done too right.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
The distinction there is though, the people that are not
allowed to wear the earbuds are like the like for example,
the canyons that are running. If you're in that category
of elite runner, yeah, then you're not allowed. Neither one
of you, gentlemen would be in that category, so you
could wear the earbuds all you.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Want, I get beat a canyon. An iron man is
sixteen to seventeen hours.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
That's what he told me. And you can't wear earbuds,
and you're just thinking the whole time, and you and
you're you're you're running and then you're biking and then
you're swimming. That's just I guess sane.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Like a professional athlete will finish it in eight to nine.
An amateur if could finish it in around eleven to fourteen,
and then you got a full time little bit of
seventeen hours.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, I think Omar told me it tooks like sixteen
hours or something.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
I can't even binge watch a show for seventeen hours, right,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (12:47):
I am bored.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
There's not much I can do for that much time.
But anyway, H point me in that. When that that
sales rep asked me if I wanted to be a
part of the five K, I said, no, thank you
very much much, not my thing. I can't do that. Wet.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
All these textures texting how they can run? Shut up?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
See what now?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
People texting in.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Like I've done it, I can do this, blah blah blah,
shut up.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Trying to remind you too that there's other forms of cardio.
You just don't have to run. Talking about sex walking today, bro,
hell Russ you get a semi tubby with him walking
in And now somebody said there's other forms of cardio.
We're talking about marathons and you go straight to that.

Man speak for yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Did you take it?
Speaker 3 (15:14):

You know. Well, no, no, I understand what I was
so understand that I grabbed those and I didn't eat
them that in that moment.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
You eat a lot of sugar.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
What what do you think I eat?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Well? I mean you're eat I see you eating. I

i'd like to think. I don't eat oreo. I got
when's the last time you see the oreos here?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
But I can't. I can't eat any of them. Yeah,
like the last time my sugar so bad?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Yeah. The last I with you guys was the ones
when they did the reces and the the oriole mash
up and I shared those with you guys. That's a lot.
Those are the last orios I ate.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
But I mean as as far as like candy for
Halloween and stuff you did them to that. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
What do you have in your hobo satchel today?
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:21):

Speaker 4 (16:22):
Right, I don't know if you know the angel satchel
of food with sweets?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah, there's no sweet as pineapples.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
There's an apples are sweet.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
That's natural sugar.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
You're good with that. It's sugar.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
It's natural A little bit different.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, so you've done you've done a sugar test.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yeah, you have to for our insurance to get the discount,
that's true. Uh, But the one thing I do want
to share with you guys. And I'm hooked on these
right now for the moment.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
The convenience store that I like to go to right
around the corner here to grab a cup of coffee,
they got me and these things are amazing. And uh
in the Japanese stuff yet, Yep, this is the Japanese
style egg salad sandwich. It's maid with fluffy milk bread.
It's absolutely amazing, sounds pretty good. It is absolutely ridiculously good.
(17:07):
And uh. Like I was in there grabbing my coffee
right and the commercial play and I was like, you
know in star commercial, I was like, get out of here,
and I went and grabbed one, and I was like,
oh my gosh, this is amazing.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
So what are you doing with all the extra care? Because,
like I said, we had a salesperson come in here.
They had bags of candy trying to give it away,
trying to get rid of it. And there's a story
today on National Candy Day where a lot of people,
a lot of Americans feel guilty throwing away candy, but
they feel like they probably should. What do you do
with all your extra candy? Angel?
Speaker 3 (17:37):
So I use it. I don't need a whole lot
of candy at home. I use it for like rewards
like the like for with my daughter, my nephew or
my niece such as yeah, so uh every now and then,
I you know, I did what was gonna try to say,
the the the little bite ones, those are the ones
that I'll jump on, and that's what I grabbed. That's
the other thing that she had yesterday was a little Twizzlers.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, it was a bag, a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I know.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
She didn't take any candy yesterday. Are you are you
a candy guy? Now?
Speaker 5 (18:03):
I's I didn't buy candy this year at all because
I was like, I only have twelve trig or treaters.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
I spend the rest of the next six months.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
My candy and I get I'll gain a bunch of
weight and so I can't have it in my house.
So like somebody very nicely. People people know I like
gummy bears. It's kind of like it's kind of a kryptonite, right,
So somebody got me a big bag of gummy bears.
But the bag was all individual It was like a
bunch of individually wrapped ones, right, the small packs, those
snack packs not for me, buddy.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
I tear into those.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
So my wife hides them throughout, like, and I don't
know where she hides them, and I purposely don't ask.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
And every now and then, like she'll pull out a
bag for me and they give me a gummy berry.
It's like a little treat.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
No, I can't have candy in my house.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
The only thing I can't. And you're right about the pineapple.
I was kind of just teasing, but I have, Like
I went shopping yesterday to try to get all my superfoods,
you know, because I'm paying attention to that yome thing
that I have that tells me the superfoods I'm supposed
to eat. And I got berries and stuff for sweets
because I need, you know, you do. I do, like
crave a sweet every once in a while. But if I,
as you guys know, if I eat anything that's sweet,
(19:06):
I'm in a bad mood for like an hour afterwards.
It makes my sugar spike and it just affects me differently.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Yeah, I've been needing a lot more of Like there's
a mix of watermelon that they do over at the
grocery store that I go to. Saw they do like
two for three. And then I grabbed some pineapple and
eating apples and trying to increase all of that.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
So now I did do this, even though the sugar
content is higher. I did after our conversation yesterday, I
did buy some miracle whip because I had forgotten how
much I like miracle whip. Oh boy. But you know,
I doubled up with all the other stuff I'm supposed
to beating, like lean meats in the right kind of
bread and you know, all that. But a little bit
of miracle whip on a boy, and that tasted good.
I had a roast beef sandwich with Swiss cheese on
(19:49):
rye bread and miracle whip, and it was a damn winner.
Put me in a good mood.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
I'm happy for you, buddy.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
I don't know you thought about meericle whip after you
left the show.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
No, he thought about it the whole time. We were
talking about it. Because it was National Mayonnaise Day.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
It was well, no, it wasn't I just sandwich day.
It was National sandwich Day.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
And so actually I changed it on the show called
The National and.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I had to go get I had to do a
little shopping and get all my superfoods, you know, because
Mary Ellen won't she She's not.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Good at buying my superfood. She just buys food food.
Would you think it's National Candy Day? Because I know,
I get it, it's Halloween. But also this is the
from this point on, this is where you get like
the fall candies, the Christmas candies like like this last
three months of the year, it's always heavy candy across
the board.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
And so for Christmas, yeah, you're right, a lot of
not really as much as you got.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
The fall candy dish that gets put out there.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I don't you know what I think about it. For Thanksgiving,
I think about nuts, like that's nut time. I don't
know why, but at my at my house, my family,
that's what we know. That's what all the nuts would
be out for Thanksgiving. And in the first hour at
my nanny's house or my mom's we would have nuts everywhere.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
And that was one of the things that one of
my superfoods. I can eat brazil nuts and peanuts and
what's the other nuts? Almond nuts, you know, all kinds
of nuts. Though I can, I can nut it up.
But then then you go back to candy for a
Christmas Wait what Yeah, a candy candy is more of
(21:23):
a Christmas thing, not Thanksgiving thing.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Now I I did it, Okay, So this Thanksgiving candies, yeah,
there's tradition. These are what are considered traditional fall candies.
Toffee and brittle, marshmallow, tree spice, brittle, butter, rum caramels,
and ginger candies.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Brittle is good. Now, why do we chopol brittle? Brittle
is good?
Speaker 4 (21:44):
If it's not good.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
If somebody makes some good peanut brittle, damn that is good.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
It's like from the Middle Ages, like we have such
better candy technology.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
They got some stuff right, one hundred years ago.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
When do you think the Middle Ages a long long
time ago? You have to guess eighteen hundred somewhere.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
How old is peanut brittle?
Speaker 4 (22:09):
It feels old.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
It feels like a peasant made it in the street
of the of old England.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Well, peanuts, I mean, peanut butter is not that old, I.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Know, but peanuts are humans said, peanuts haven't been around
that long.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Peanut brittle is over one hundred and seventy years old.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
All right, so I'm so old.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
That was far off.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I wasn't that damn far off?
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Okay, So what's the oldest candy?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Then? The oldest candy. Hold on, let me think butterscotch worthers, whatever,
are damn good. It makes sense to me think about it.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Peppermint, no dates, it's a candy that like you're like,
it's one of those candies that you're like, why is
this candy?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
It's gross.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
I'm just gonna go with the what the watch one
of those wafers. No, it's black licorice. Yeah, yeah, candy.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
It's it's some of the oldest candy historically.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
But honey based candy goes all the way back to
the Egyptians, so you can find some sweet honey trees
back in the day.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
So back in like the in like the fifteen hundreds,
there was candy for kids. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Yeah, candy's been around for like four thousand years apparently.
So the oldest commercially sold candy in America is the
Gibraltar Company. Gibraltar and they made the ye old pepper
candy companies we get.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
We like as kids, was candy a big deal to
you guys? What?
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Yes, it's like the only deal.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
Yeah, Like I mean Halloween for me, like I would
try to get a full pillow case full of candy.
I would go out for hours, hit different neighborhoods, and
then eat that candy for about a month.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I've always kind of been indifferent about it, Like, like me,
it was always just sandwiches, which is like, it was
not like you did to have a sandwich holiday?
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Are you get sandwiches from your neighbors?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I told you. When I was a kid, my mom
got me like a like one of those guns that
you could use to shoot things, but it had it
was like with a with a light, you know, so
the light would hit a thing and it would knock
a can off, and it didn't really work that great.
And my mom was like, you didn't like your Christmas gift?
Speaker 3 (24:19):
But not really?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
When you want something else, I'm like, yeah, what do
you want? I want one of them Hamburger makers. I
got to go to Service Merchandise and pick it out,
and I got one of those Hamburger makers. It was
kind of like a George Foreman, but it was before
George Foreman as where you put the what was it
called hamburg or something magic, Hamburger magic or something like that.
But I trade I traded in the gun for Hamburger Magic,
(24:42):
and I made hamburgers for all my friends for the
entire summer.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Was it a toy or was this like for adults
to make hamburg.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
It was for adults to make hamburgers. And there's a
special name for it. And was at service merchandise. It's
like hamburger or not mister Hamburger. Not mister Hamburger. I
don't think I had another name to it.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
I had like a McDonald's one. But it made like.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
It was the It was indy.
Speaker 3 (25:04):

Oven Day?
Speaker 3 (25:13):

did you guys? Okay? I had a sister, and of
course my sister had an easy bake oven, and she
wouldn't use it as much as I'm like, let me
make let me make some cakes. I would go over
there and use her easy bake oven and make cakes
all the time.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Is this a meat grind? I'm trying to find that.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
I can't the internet is it's black and it made
and it was the seventies sixties.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
It was in the seventies, probably seventy four. Uh, And

And it wasn't a McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
No, it was a hamburg oh Man had had a
funny name to it, hamburger.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Something presto burger.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Presto burger. That's exactly what it was. Thank you nineteen
said for a presto burger, And I got a presto
burger instead of a gun. And like, I didn't really
like candie, but I'd made Please give me some burgers.
I can make it for my friends. And I was
trying to entertain my friends even way back then. There,
that's it right there, it's black presto burger.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
How about this I got.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
They still make a presto burger.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
I checked this out. This is the commercial that ran.
This is potentially the commercial that ran that changed Russ's life.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yes, Presto.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Presto.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
It's the Presto burger. Electric hamburger cook broils a juicy
hamburger in about a minute.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Presto, no splattering, no smoke.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Clean up is easy, just wash and wipe, Presto a
hamburger in a minute for snacks, lunch, anytime anyone wants
a delicious hamburger fast. The Presto Presto Burger, an original
from Presto.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I would eat. I would think I was playing, right,
I like three burgers and then I bite my friend, mom,
I needs some more hamburger meet like that was Preslo
burger Man.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
So we know as the kids, we never got into
That's why I'm fat.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Just rob me.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Yes, we never got into those because but do you
remember that there was another company that was selling and
I don't know if it was Presto, but we begged
our parents for this and it was basically the first
home version of a deep friar and it was called
the fry Daddy or something like.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
You make friends with it?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Oh dude, what about that?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Next?
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I that was the one that we.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
I myself with The don't make the Presto Burger anymore,
but they do make the Fried Daddy.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
The Presto Burgers evolved to the George Foreman.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Yeah, but the Fried Daddy. I got one of those
and I burned myself.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
And that that one was the one that we begged
our parents for. And there was like in like the eighties,
there were there's a kids commercial for that thing. Yeah,
and then made it sound like you could just.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Basically basically green that is boiling.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Yeah, and I tried to that was like, there's no
way we're getting that for you guys. Sorry, no, yeah,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
I don't blame him.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Uh yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Presler Burger basically is the George Foreman. But but they
it kept all the grease in there, you know, George Foreman,
it was it was you know, obviously nobody knows. It
was tilted a little bit and all the grease would
fall out. Presler Berger kept the grease, which was actually better.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Just take a grill and make it slanted.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Isn't that crazy? You know? The story behind that they
were looking for it. They had they had a mixer
like you know, like you use right now to mix
your shakes and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
And then they had the George Foreman we call it now,
and they called Hulk Hogan and like, hey, listen, we
got two again to night and we want you to
to you know, to endorse. It could be years the
Hulk Hogan grill. And he thought that was stupid, so
he went with the other thing because it could mix
up his protein shakes for working out. And obviously George
Foreman did better. But they he had the first right
(28:59):
of refusal on that, and he totally blew it.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
So, yeah, today's National Easy Bake Oven Day. Did you
guys ever use the East bake Oven?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
No?
Speaker 2 (29:06):
No, girl? Well I know that's what everybody would say,
like thanks for girls, But I'm like, everybody eats cakes,
everybody eats corn bread, Like, like, what's wrong with me
using that?
Speaker 5 (29:15):
I had the manly version of that, that was the
creepy crawler. It would it was the easy bake oven,
but instead of making food, you made like plastic y
worms and whatnot.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Well, you know, all my and I know we got
to go, but this is true story. So so you know,
all my friends would tease me because I would use
my sister's easy bake oven. I'm like, oh, stop it.
That's you're making a big deal about nothing, you guys.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
You know.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
And then one of the I got became really friendly
with and friends with Michael Wansei. Michael Wansei, uh, for
those that don't know, was on the Philis file many
many years ago, famously a gay guy that is super
super nicamous. That was part of the reason he was
there because he was gay, uh and famously gay. He
was famously gay and so I went to his house
(29:59):
and he showed me he has a collection of easy
bake ovens because he said his dad, his mom and
dad wouldn't let him have one when he was a kid.
So then he's got like the very first easy big oven.
And I'm like, oh man, easy make ovens were for
good guys. And he's had a presto burger.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
You want to make out, That's what.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
I told him. I had a presto burger. Uh. But uh,
but not gay anyway. Uh, take a little break. Don't
go anywhere you're gay. Famously, I'm not gay. You're listening
to the Monster in the Morning. Welcome back to the
Monsters Morning's Rodeo one oh four point one. I hope
(30:36):
you're having a good Tuesday so far. I am Russ
Rollins along with Angel Rivera and Ryan Holmes. Uh, hey,
so did this yesterday. I'm making, you know, starting to
make a little normally, you you would think I'd made
plans some time ago. I kind of waited the last
minute and was gonna you know, I knew I wanted
the time off. I didn't know exactly what we're gonna
(30:56):
do for this weekend. It's my eight year anniversary. For
those who've been listening for long time, you realize that
is my record. That is the longest I've ever been married,
eight years, So it deserves some celebration. And then you know,
we get, you know, because of what we do. You know,
the last couple weeks of the month of December, we
get to you know, play best of and have some
time off to kind of you know, get everything all
(31:17):
back together and get ready for a brand new year.
And and that's when the ratings don't really count and
all that kind of stuff. So we we all take
a couple of weeks off and so I can plan
a trip then. So I was, I went home yesterday
to plan something for this weekend and then to plan
for December. And I've got that blue Green U timeshare
thing where basically any any major city I could go
(31:39):
to and do whatever. And as I'm sitting there planning,
I'll be honest with you, I'm like, I not only
do I not want a plan to fly anywhere this weekend,
I don't think I feel comfortable making plans to fly
anywhere in December. It's only like a two months from now,
And I mean, I know the government shut down should
be over by then and and everything should be okay
(32:02):
with uh, you know, air traffic controllers by December the
you know, the twentieth or whatever. But you just don't know,
and so I didn't. I only make plans for places
that we could drive to and decided not to fly
to any place to do. Man, you don't know.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Right, I mean, because you would, you know, especially you're
in a sublet, you know, celebrating, and that gets kind
of marred in the fact that you get stuck at
the airport for how many hours? You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Yeah, I was watching video yesterday of people like stuck
in airports, you know, for and of course this weekend.
I mean I doubt the government shut down will be
over this weekend, so it's still And then I don't
really trust the air traffic control situation. You know, a
lot of the people that are good at what they're
doing or find another jobs they're not. They're not they're
not being paid. Now, who knows how great it's gonna
(32:54):
be at the end of December. I mean, you would
hope it'd be over by then, but there's no guarantee.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Yeah, I don't know, dude.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
I saw the video of it was Houston Airport yesterday.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
And and that's it.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
Yeah, there's just the line of people, uh that because
all these TSA workers, these uh tower workers all calling
in sick and whatnot.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
So this and who blamed who?
Speaker 2 (33:16):
You can't blame. They're asking them to work for free. Well,
just work for free. You'll get paid whenever we work
this all out. But I mean they've got you know,
they've got bills to pay, they've got families, they got kids.
They and then imagine if you're going to work and
you got to pay your your your daycare, right, well
you don't have the money to pay the daycare if
you can't. Like it's a it's a complete cluster. And
uh and yet and making a decision, we just decided
(33:37):
to stay, well, you know, to go where we can drive.
We're gonna just kind of drive over to clear Water
and then for the holiday, we're gonna you know, drive
to New Orleans and stop you know, you know, on
the halfway there. But yeah, man, just didn't didn't feel
comfortable planning any any plane flight. And I and and
if I did it right, I wonder how many other
(33:58):
people and going Okay, we're not gonna.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Yeah, it's crazy, man, Like I like this this kind
of thing where like you shut down for like the military,
for the TSA, for the air traff control, all the.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
People that rely on government money.
Speaker 5 (34:10):
Like I've always heard that like about only a quarter
of Americans have like two thousand dollars in their bank account.
Yeah right, Like, I mean seventy five percent any given
moment only has like a couple hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Imagine going without two paychecks. I mean, most people can't
go without two paychecks. You know, they don't have enough
save for that. And and uh, you got to feel
for these folks. And I know, you know, it gets
into a debate of it's this side fault, it's that
size fault. I mean, I think we all would have
to agree the buck stops with one guy who's supposed
to be the leader, and that's the guy that's supposed
to straighten it out. I mean, if you're supposed to
be this incredible negotiator, hey, do your incredible negotiating now.
(34:46):
Because there's a lot of really good people and a
lot of like older people. This is not just you
know you you wouldn't think it's all just the Democrats.
That's not true. And a lot of veterans that need
this money, a lot of you kids, a lot of people.
This is like, Hey, this is when if you are
a great negotiator, you get your ass in there and
you do it and and show that you've got some
(35:06):
leadership qualities. Right now there there's none being shown. But anyway,
with that being said, I don't feel safe flying and
I don't know that I would make uh age in.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
The road trip within the state or without are you
driving outside of the state.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
We're going to go to clear Water on Saturday and
there's this one day like cruise thing that we're going
to do, and then we're driving to New Orleans for Christmas,
right and uh, and we've got a uh with the
blue green thing. We've got a place to stay in
the Panhandle, you know, So I just drive halfway and
then and we're like right downtown in New Orleans. So
we're going to do that for several days and then
(35:39):
drive back and then for New Year's Eve will be
in the Panhandle again. So we're in panandle uh Panama City, Okay.
And they've got it's a blue green like resort kind
of a thing there. And if you get a chance.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
I don't know if you've ever been and see if
that is available to but check out like the Niceville
Destined Crushview area. That's a really beautiful part of the
pant I got family up there.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
We could do that on the way Actually, we actually
have a plan on the way there. The plan is
only on the way back, so that might be a
really good suggestion to do.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
On the one hand, is like absolutely beautiful, beautiful part
of Florida and the and the Painhandle and everything. On
the other hand, in those of the particular areas, uh,
they have been building the hell out of it with
just these crazy homes and townhomes, but it's still that
you still could get there and see a really cool
version of Florida. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
So as of tomorrow, it will be the longest government
shut down in the history of the United States of America.
How much longer do you think it can go or
will go? I mean, because if the if the if
the airports are closed down, that's a that's an issue.
I mean, I know, like they can they can turn
their head to oh well, there's some people that are
that are hungry. They won't pay attention to that as much.
(36:48):
But the airport's closed down. That means money, and they'll
have to solve that issue, right.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (36:55):
I'm like, what I'm worried about is like this, we
just keep shooting ourselves in the foot. We're sitting on
a bubble economy already, and bubbles just take something to
make them pop.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
And I feel like, if we go too far on.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
This, it's just gonna we're crashing our own economy for
for what like that. That's kind of where I'm at.
It doesn't none of this makes sense to me. It's
and I'm not.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
A political person, so I don't know.
Speaker 5 (37:18):
Yeah, you know, but I just like get people paid,
like and I learned a ton about snap benefits I
knew nothing about before because the goddamn TikTok.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
And blowing up with nonsense about it.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Here's a question that's coming in right now. Did you
put the blame on Obama? Once again? This is the
you know you're gonna, you know, bring up somebody else
we're talking about what about it? When the government was said, hey,
he's not the president right now, I I blame whoever
the president is right now, and back then I blame
whoever the president was then and then after that it
was whoever the president was, then whoever's the president is
the person that's in charge of keeping it all together.
(37:51):
So you can bring up other names if you want to,
and it makes you feel better, But as of right now,
it's the worst shut down in the history of our country.
And there's one leader, the guy that says he's the
best negotiator on the planet. So do the simple math.
It's pretty simple math there, I think, and I'm a
simpleton and I can figure that out. All right, We're
(38:12):
gonna take a little break. When we come back, we'll
do trivia. Your chance to win some stuff, So get
on the line. The telephone number is four oh seven
nine one six one o four one. Angels have some
great prizes the past couple of weeks. We'll see what
we have today when we come back. You're listening to
the mantras of the Morning.
