Welcome back.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I'm Russ Rollands along with Ryan Holmes and Angel and
Detective Barb from Crimeline is here. Detective Barb, did you
get rid of all of the trees?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Good?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Gone?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Are How happy are you that the whole thing is over?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I still got stuff to do down there?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 4 (01:26):
I gotta find a trailer today. I gotta load up
light carts and generators and return them.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It's a lot of work for you, it is after today.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
I'm almost done.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Out of all the fundraising events that you've done since
I've known you, which one is the easiest to pull off?
Because I know Zoo done. It is a lot of work.
I've seen you do that that's difficult. Chili cook off
is a lot of work, didn't you dragging around the
Harley didn't seem that bad. The Harley didn't seem like
it was that bad. And then this one seems like
(01:59):
it's a lot of work.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
But you tell me, with the Harley as it went
on for months, Yeah, all kinds of egins at night
and pushing that motorcycle up on the trailer.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
So we're we're done with that. I'm too old for that.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
So that one is too difficult.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Well it's it's time.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
It requires a lot of time time physically moving it
and stuff like that. Anyway, okay, but we're not going
back there because I got rid of the trailer this weekend.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Okay, So the trees we have figured it out.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Yeah, it's still a lot of work, right, but we
had great volunteers and I got to give some shout
outs real quick if you don't mind anything else. And
and a Popka have been fantastic. That big tent they bring,
it's wonderfol.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
And that's.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
A very incredible time.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
What's what size tent?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Was it?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Forty by sixty something? Is huge.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
That's expense, I mean, just so you know that's expensive.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I know that, trust me. And they're very good.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
And yeah, they could get a lot of money for that, guys,
time out, not time used.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
So yeah, so American Fence Company, you know, they fenced
that in for us. Sun Belt gave us worked with us.
We went with light carts instead of those big pole
behind generators.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Those are worth gold.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
The big pole behind light generators that you see at
construction sites.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Okay, so we found.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
These carts that you literally pull and push and plug
them into a generator that give you as much light
and they're.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Way, way less money.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
And then I have to tell you Seminole County Sheriff's
Office and Orange County they sent people to help me
unload the tractor trailer onto our truck and to put
the trees in which they built, helped me build the
stands for the first time ever, drum roll please, because
we didn't have a tree stand fall this year. First
(03:51):
year ever, we didn't have a tree stand fallover in
trees down top.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
So we've learned something, haven't we.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Anyway, it's as far as fund raising and profit and everything.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Does it do as good as chili cookoffins? Who done it.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
More? No? No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
The overhead is huge. You start paying for all those things.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Well that's what I was hearing.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yeah, running the generators and gas every day. No, they
were it.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Well, if you had to rind the tent, you would
have lost money.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Right, Well you can't.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Yeah, they're good, like I said, Yeah, but here's at
the end of the day.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Here's this.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
We were in places in central Florida within twenty miles
is the most We went with our trucks delivering trees,
and people were honking at our people. They were grateful
for what we were doing. We were walking trees.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
It was funny.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Angel I don't know if you were there walking trees
across the street into the apartments that were right there.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
So again, that was.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Actually one of the funnier stories. This guy was dead,
said that he wasn't going to get a tree. He
wasn't going to get a tree. And then his girl's like,
oh no, we're getting a tree. And then he comes
back and literally it's that new a complex. It's right
there across the street from them, and they delivered as
over a six foot tree, walked it up into the
complex that everything get set it up for the guy.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Yeah, and doctor Phillips, they let us have the location.
The location. What do you think was it better?
Speaker 5 (05:14):
I think it's I think it's a really good location. Yeah,
I think it's easier for people to get in and
they feel like because in that last location, you're coming
off Iphour and you're kind of coming in hot right
there on the corner where it's that one is a
little bit more manageable and uh, you don't feel the
pressure of just you know, having to make that right
and then right into the parking lot.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
So anyway, we're done good after I get rid of
lights and generators that I just got to find a trailer.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
So do you feel like a little bit.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Yeah, as soon as those lights and stuff are gone today,
I'll be in I'll be I'll be more bourbon the night.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I haven't to worry about anything tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Do you start making plans for next year already or
you do?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
You know, I don't even want to talk about it.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
The board's gonna want to talk about it next week
at their meeting, and I'm going to be like, I
don't know, let's just leave me alone.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know that's next year.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
It's a lot and and my board. We had really
good turnout from the board this year. They worked hard.
They're the ones who come in there and help us
lug trees and had a lot of friends show up
and help us lug trees.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
So yeah, that's we got a bad guy to.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Catch some I do look do look, I do look
for you know, and think of like other ways to
help raise money. So then you know, because I mean,
I feel bad, like, I know she's working really hard,
and uh, you know, I know at my age, I
don't want to work that hard, right.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
You know what, though this physically was maybe a little
easier on me. This year.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
We did have that one tree though it took six
grown men to move. Wow, it was seventeen foot when
it came off the truck.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Seventeen foot.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Yes, wow, that's big, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I mean, and it's going in someone's house.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
It did.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
We hauled it over and helped set it up.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Man, it's a beautiful house.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
It was.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I'll send you a picture of it when I get it,
a picture decorated. But at the end of the day,
while we don't make a ton of money, it's it
is a pr thing for us. And I can't tell you, Russ,
how many of your listeners, Yeah, drive by countless tree
lots to come.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
To us and get their tree.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
That's good.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
So it is. That part's kind of fun.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
And we see the same people and they come back,
and we had new customers that didn't know we even
did trees, so.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Well, people like you, Barb, we found out.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I was just thinking, I remember we did those those
deep dive things and they went through like every people
a person on the show, and one of the highest
rated I people was to take the barb.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
They like because I'm a grumpy old lad, because.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
You're a grumpy Yeah, yeah, you're real, you know. They
like the fact that you're grumpy.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Uh So are we trying to catch any bad guys there?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
You have one? And I don't know Ryan, if you
can pull this guy up.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
So this wanted person is wanted out of Henry County
over there by Fort Myers and stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
But he is a super bad guy.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
He's already done eighteen years for attempted second degree murder.
He has wanted for trafficking and amphetamines and a lot
of it was fentanyl, like hounds of fentanyl. He's part
of a major drug thing that has happened. His name
is Ephren Burman and he's forty two years old. What
we know is he's probably down in the Kassime area
(08:12):
because he's got a large family down there who's most
likely helping hide him.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Why is it the bad guys always look like bad guys.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
He looks like a bad guy.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
He looks like a bad guy.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
He does not look like a good dude.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
They're telling us that he wears a hat a baseball
cap all the time.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
He thing.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
One easy way to identify him is across his left
hand knuckles are the initials s.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
U R thirteen.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
SU are thirteen.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Yeah, and he's tattooed everywhere, ear low everywhere, So we
are we let's find him.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
He would be a great Christmas catch.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
And how much is the reward If they say up to.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Two thousand dollars right now, there's a chance that might
go up a little bit just because of his violence
and stuff like that. But we do know he's probably
in the Cassime area. He may be working for a
tattoo shop down there. If you see him, do not approach,
don't do anything to him other than calling the tip
and we will get people on him.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
We have teams ready to roll when we get these tips.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Okay, and then we are in December, it's it's getting
closer to Christmas time. Any any tips we should give
the audience. I mean, I know that we talk about.
You know, if you're going to go to the mall,
make sure you lock your car, don't leave stuff in
the seats where people can see it.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Even people go to restaurants and they'll take out their
little wallet and leave their personting there.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
You can't do that because that guy didn't know that
you just took what was a value.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Yeah, everything needs to be out of you. Put it
under a blanket in the back or something. Don't leave
things in view where they can you know, smash the window,
do whatever they're going to do. But the porch pirate
stuff's a little crazy this year.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
There's quite a bit of it going on.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, And you know, we learned last week or the
last time we talked to you that the police department
wants you to report. Though, absolutely they want you to.
I would have thought, I don't want to bother the
police or something so silly. I'll just I'll just you know,
get my refund from Amazon. But no, you would prefer
police would prefer to know that someone's stealing. That way
they have a better chance of catching them.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Well, that kind of policing's typically done through ring, doorbell
or nest or something like that, because your neighbor you
are going to catch them on camera, right, and then
you put it out there and we try and get
some names on it and we take care of business
after that. But nobody wants their Christmas room because the
package is ripped off on the porch. So we have
a five hundred dollars reward for that.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
So if you catch a punk porch pirates.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Pirate or would you call it porch punk p.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, well I will say punk porch pirate because a
pirate sounds fun.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
That's a good name.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Pirate.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
Only guy that has taken that that way, as you've
been calling them porch pirates for over a decade.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
Right, it does sound like a like a peg legged
man is robbing me?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (10:42):
What about porch poachers.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Who they are punks though they're punk? Stealing from people?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Lazy thieves?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
You know we learned yesterday? Is that that a lot
of people that check out for for checkout themselves, you know,
when they do a self checkout stealing?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Yeah, are stealing?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Have you ever thought about it?
Speaker 4 (11:00):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
What the hell?
Speaker 7 (11:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Me neither, but somebody else over there, Ryan, But put.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Your screen down.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Do not tell me you've thought about taking stuff from
a store.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
During self checkout. You were saying yesterday, said it? Would
you say?
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Uh? I asked if you had ever stolen?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
To me? Well, you know you said it was it
was the thrill of stealing one time or something like that.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Yeah, when I was twelve.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Oh oh, don't well, don't do it now, thief, thief?
What the hell?
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Sharing a store with you and you bring in detective
bar and this man stole once he's twelve, but he
thinks about it all the time.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Yeah, he's resting on you.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, dark, he's always taking a steal.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Rule.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
I've never and I prefer self checkout because I don't
have to talk to people.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I can get my stuff and go.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
All right, See, I liked, I liked.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I like to talk to the little cashier there, you know,
and say hi and whatever, like I don't mind that.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Like to bother people.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
No, I don't mind talking to him if I'm there.
But if I can check out and run, that's where
I'm going.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, But they send a lot of people and it's
and it's wealthier people that steal.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
And the thing is they're gonna end up shutting all
that down because it's just not financially worth keeping up
that much as walking out the door.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Right, All right, Well, it's a crime line.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
One eight hundred and four to two three tips is
the number in case you have forgotten. And if you
have a tip that you would like to give crime
line and it leads to an arrest, you're eligible for
a cash reward. And any tip you give is a
completely one anonymous. It would ruin the entire organization if
they ever broke that, and so they're not gonna break that.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You're always gonna be anonymous.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Next week's pay day, cash money, cash money.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
All right, thank you, Bob, coming in. All right, we'll
take a break. Don't go anywhere. You're listening to the
mantras morning.

want to join us for some football. Yeah, man, it's
gonna be fun. We're gonna be at the Cure Ball.
We'll be in the end zone.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Now they used to call it the Zonies, but now
they're calling it the Pinkies because the Cure Bowl is
all about wearing pink and breast cancer awareness.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
It's a great event.
Speaker 2 (13:10):

good question.
Speaker 1 (14:06):

I'm looking forward to that.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
You don't need this. This is from yesterday, Ryan, Do
you need this?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
No? You do? Okay, Ryan, Ryan's talking himself into getting sick.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
He's feeling bad.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
You know how you can feel it in your bones
like you're not sick yet, but you're like you're like, oh,
I feel it in there.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Stop doing it. Feel like I have not physically been
around you.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Way to go, Angel, You got right, that's what he's
gonna do, and that's what that he's gonna be.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
This whole argument. If you're sick, then stay home. I
have zero since not you. I haven't coughed.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
I had to have you.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
I wouldn't incubate. I wouldn't get incubated sick by now.
My mother in law is sick, Mary Ellen, and I
saw her on on Friday.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
She was sick.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
She was not sick on Friday she was incubating. No,
she was not.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
She had the same thing. I did this, according to Russ, exactly.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Because my immune system is stronger than you guys. You
longer for it to hit me.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
You know, no one sneezing and coughing like you are.
She had the same thing Angel had, and she had
to you know, well.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
You guys are assuming I'm blaming it on you, guys.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
I just feel like, after I started coughing earlier, I
was like.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
What I really think is you heard stories of people
that are sick, and you are making yourself sick in
your head, is what I think.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Well, my brain can do that Okay, I'm not. No,
like it's that feet like it.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
There's there's a difference between like like like uh, worried
about being sick and then just like every time before
I get sick, I get this feet like it's like
in my bones.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Off what he's doing.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Because don't want to be out there tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
No, I've got no.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
I want to be out there because I need money.
So I got a lot to do this weekend. I
got something every day until Monday.
Speaker 1 (15:52):

Oh?
Speaker 6 (16:12):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
You know what?
Speaker 5 (16:14):
This is what we could do. Because you're a huge
fan of theirs, have have all the girls come in
you and the girls.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
That's good idea. So you teach Amber how to run
the boy I have.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
I have done the best of I can to teach
her Angelie, any one of them who have asked to
be trained on this.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
You you Angelique.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
When when they have asked ask them how many times
they've asked me to be trained on this? You know,
every single every single time they I have showed them.
Now it's not my it's not my job to trust
them on their retention.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Okay, out of the two, I'd have to trust Angeli.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Really better.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
I mean it's like it's be flipping a double headed coin.
Speaker 2 (16:59):

He always swings through, But why are we talking about
because he might say something stupid?
Speaker 5 (17:32):
It was kind of stuff lately.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I always like him.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I know, I know you say that, but like he's
always nice to me. Okay, how is he that he's
never nominated and he'll he'll hang. Yeah, he'll hang a
whole day. Dude's never been nominated for Best of Internal
Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
That's true, that's you. But I don't know. I seem
to have some sort of got He.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
Kind of got sideways on us because he got squirreling
on us because like, oh, it was y'all show that
so and so started talking crazy about him.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Remember that.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Yeah, he was mad it was the earthquake or it's one.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Of those guys. Yeah, oh, it was y'all show that
so and so started asking crazy quit they're talking crazy
about me.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I don't I don't remember that.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
I do remember that. He's always confrontational.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, that's his thing. Because he got into it with
sold Brother Kevin one time.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Yeah, but that wasn't on the air. That was at
a gig and it was dumb.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
No, No, it was on the air too.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
They got into it on the air because, uh, he
started making jokes about Puerto Rican girls and sold Brother
Kevin was dating a Puerto Rican girl at the time,
and he checked him on it, and they got somebody.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
That was that was tame in comparison then to what
happened at the comedy was. I didn't Yeah, I was
there at the comedy club. I didn't see that was
that was that was that was fire.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
That was fire.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Yeah, hands were about to be thrown.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Oh I'm not joking. Yeah, I was there.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Uh where was I gonna go?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Oh yeah? Yeah? Yeah. So yesterday I did the the
four oh seven on Fox thirty five. They changed my dates,
by the way, I normally do Monday and Thursday. They
for whatever is, they asked me to change it to
Mondays and Wednesdays from now on. Uh So, I'm gonna
find whatever. Put me in coach wherever you want me.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Uh so.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Uh talked to Marls. Marlee Is said to say hi
to you guys. By the way, she's so nice. Mar
Lisa Goldsmith on Fox thirty five. Here's the topics that
we talked about, and I'm curious what you guys think
about it. The first one was there's a new law
that bans Florida license plates the frames like the frame
that goes Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
So it's the vanity plastic frame. You can get it
anywhere from like when you purchase a new vehicle, yeah,
to any random places. People give them out as prizes.
So under the guise of this new super speeder law
that got passed. Right, one of the caveats that got it,
that got slid in there is that if you put
anything on the tag that is deemed as a barricade
(19:50):
or deemed that it makes it difficult to see the
driver's license, to read it, to read the plate. Yeah,
it's a five hundred dollars five or jail time or
jail time. They lid that in under the super speeder law.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Most people don't know that it's there. They don't know
the law is there.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
You're one hundred percent right. And in the last like
seven to ten days, like all kinds of places have
been coming out hard trying to make people aware of this.
I'm curious to see the first person or if there
have already been, and if they have been, they just
haven't arrested the right person, to see how long this
stays on the book.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
They said, that is what they mar Lisa said. She said,
they're just going to pull people over and tell them, hey,
you got to take that off for now, but at
some point it's going to be a five hundred dollars
fine or jail time.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Isn't her at all? And that's what she's saying. That
they're saying there hasn't been an announcement by any law
enforcement agency in the state of Florida that's that states
that that's all on the books and it could be
used as a guys to pull you over for anything else.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
So the thing is is a lot of people don't
they don't realize they have it. They don't know this
law is there because when you buy a car, a
lot of times, no matter what car deal, they just
put it on there. Ye. So a lot of almost
everybody's car has one of these, and now because the
law has changed, you could be breaking the law unsuspectedly.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
I found out about this last night. I didn't know
about it, and so before we left to go to
the holiday party, I had to go take that plate, ye,
the UCF graduate plate alumni off of my wife's car.
That's very proud of that you got. And then I
just started looking at the cars around me on I
four and I'm like, every f and car has one
of these things.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
They come like people give those like all kinds of companies,
all kinds of corporations, and they sell those like here's
like here we go if you want to do a
solid for the citizens of the state of Florida. Then
make it a law that you can't sell those in
the state anymore.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Yeah. By the way it took the law took effect
in October, so it's now in effect. You know. So
if you have one of those around your license plate
and it covers anything, you should take it off.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
I called my pop as soon as, you know, as
soon as like like, like I said, it's been heavily
promoted in the last seven to ten days. Russ I
had to call my pops because on his car he's
got one, you know, he's a veteran and everything, and
US Air Force and all that, and I was like, Dad,
you got to take that off. And he's like, well,
I don't know why. I was like, that's a new life.
He's like, it's a stupid boss. And I agree with you, Dad.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
What you did was just.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Create millions, tens of millions of pieces of trash. Also
because now we just got all throwers away. It's absolutely
insane now that the Florida Highway Patrol says first.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
Step is public awareness.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
So we're not giving anybody tickets just yet, but it's
absolutely say Angel, I think You're absolutely right. It's a
reason to pull people over. It's a reason to now
you know, you know you want to search the cars.
Maybe the flop cameras weren't picking up there.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
I was going to say, it's curious how they're really
pushing this after the stories across the state have broken
out or been emphasized about those cameras, and I'm you know, I'm.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Gonna ask me what what what what is it that
they are covering that is causing a problem.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Now, it's probably the AI of the flop cameras are
having trouble picking some of them up.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
And then is that is that the accurate? Is that
the reason they have to.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
Come out with this expect there's no reasoning for it.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
If you had to speculate, that would be I mean,
there's that's the only thing saying.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Sometimes these plates come. I get the plastic ones, Okay,
Like I'm just talking like little decorative frames. It's not
blocking any numbers. It might slightly cover the word Sunshine State.
The plastic ones that are meant to like trick toll
booths and all that kind of stuff. Get rid of that.
No big deal there, But like, uh, I can't think
(23:20):
of a reason other than like suddenly we are now
under full surveillance, and this probably messes it up.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
A lot of people say, I'm not taking anything off.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Watch dude, it's a fun game to play until they
pull you over for it.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
It's five hundred dollars and up to sixty days in jail,
so that's insane.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
So they really really want this. Then you have to understand,
like why.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
We're gonna have Mode to wit on with us tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
And he actually had a bunch of those that he
gave out, so we'll have to ask him about that.
You know, he's an.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Attorney, he can tell us. I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Do you think they're really gonna give somebody a five
hundred dollars fine, yes you think.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
Yeah, yes, right now they're not. But it's coming. I mean.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
And the other thing is like this is how dealerships advertise,
and I'd much I'd rather have the dumb plate that
I can take off over them throwing stickers that never
come off on my car, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Yeah, Like, dude, there's a trick to take those off.
I take that off stuff off all the time.
Speaker 7 (24:10):
I know, but every time I get a car like
it's always like, I guess I'm gonna have the dealership
name on here.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Ever, no, no, that I'm saying. There's a trick to take
those off.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
You can get a good hair brush.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Out there or hair dryer, put some Dirk tea because
that's put on the dealership, so you heat it all
up and everything and then you some.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
Yeah, either way, I don't know. It doesn't hurt anybody.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
I personally don't like putting bumper stickers and other stuff
in my car, but I really like having my like
ucflum you know, tag and it doesn't cover anything. But
now now it's legal like this, this is a bit
of an overreach, I think. I think if you were
blocking the numbers you that was already illegal and you
could be pulled over for that.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
Whennot so the other.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Topic we talked about once again.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
This was on the four oh seven on Fox thirty five.
I do it now on Mondays and Wednesdays with mar
Lisa Goldsmith and she's wonderful. The other one was Okay,
more and more, this is now more popular than ever.
Let's see if I can make it a question somehow.
And it's because of rising prices in food and going out.
(25:13):
What do you think is now more popular than ever
when you go to a restaurant, buffets, buffets, that's the
good guess it's not buffets. I think the opposite way.
We think Ryan empty plates, empty plates. Ye, no appetizers.
The sale of appetizers have gone up. More Americans are
(25:34):
going to restaurants and just going and like, hey, we're
justna have a couple of appetizers and some drinks because
we can't really afford the entree.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
You look what Chili's did. Chili's turned their whole year round.
Some friggin influencer did a whole thing on their cheesy
cheese sticks or whatever. Yeah, kind of thing, and it
completely it's documented, it completely changed their whole year round.
They were headed in the wrong direction. This influencer does
this thing, and she did it out of her own pockets,
(26:01):
and it just kind of sparked this thing about how
you can go to Chili's and have, you know, this
whole selection of appetizers and it becomes way more affordable.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
You know, And I've been like, shit, we've been doing
that for a long time, Like we'll just go set
at the bar and have a couple appetizers and some
drinks and not have a, you know, a big, big dinner.
And it was It wasn't really because of the price.
Just so my wife doesn't eat that much and I'm
always on some perpetual stupid diet, so I'll just have
a couple of little things instead of having like a
big dinner. But do you guys do a lot of
appetizers when you go to a restaurant.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Depends on the place, because there's some places that will
do that, for example, that their appetizers are more adventurous
or it seems like more fun, and so I don't
mind ordering a handful of things off of off of
the appetizer's menu as opposed to the main entree.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
What's your go to appetizer? What's your favorite?
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Oh man, it all really depends. Like some places will
do a really fantastic Mexican street corn. I dig that.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
And do you do you choose to do you monzarella sticks?
Speaker 5 (27:02):
That one? That one depends. I love Montrela, I do,
but I like them good. And if they if they
seem like they're like already like if they're not homemade
or not made in house and they're getting them from
ac no, but you can tell the difference.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Dude. Yeah, I like pretty much any mozzarella sticks.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
What's the fried octopus? I can't remember them? Calamari kalamari?
My Placeide does a good calamario.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Klamari is good. Yeah?
Speaker 6 (27:24):
Yeah, are you what you hate to tell you?
Speaker 7 (27:27):
Calamari is actually squid and not not whatever.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
Okay, you know what, Thank you.
Speaker 7 (27:33):
For the correct I hate to tell you in a while,
I know. If there's potstickers, that's a good one. Like
that's weirdly the best place to get potstickers for no
reason at all, not even an Asian restaurant is Mulligan's
over here and now ah really yeah, if you get
like they serve burgers, they serve beer.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
It's a bar. But if you get their potstickers, man,
they are so good.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Walking chips.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
My favorite appetiser used to be the place I go
to and they stopped making them with little corn dogs,
a little baby corn dogs. Love it was. It was
an appetizer and I'd give you some baby corn dogs.
Those are so good.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
Baby doesn't dog nugget a little bit of.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Dog nugget a little corn dog?
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Ruggets said, we'll do it like Uh like Cavos Cowbos
does a meatballs appetizer.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I dig that. Yeah, I'll do that as well. Take
a break on news. More news from the headline, I
am hungry. You are right.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
Let's get some appetisers in this bah.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
Let's get some mos sticks.
Speaker 2 (28:32):

I've seen you, you know when we did what was

your van to the area you needed and you're you're humping.

and you don't complain about anything. And that's the kind
of employee that that everybody wants. I appreciate it.
Speaker 10 (32:48):
I appreciate it, but at the same time, I appreciate
the opportunity because you know, when I first met you,
I met you like about oh my god, like about
I say, about eighteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
We was at the yeah, eighteen years ago, yes, sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 10 (33:02):
I was with Buckethead and you was going into the
I think it was WrestleMania out of Paramour, and you
know what I'm saying, like, y'all was going in the
back end because y'all vip and I was like, you know,
hood rat. So I'm just going in the regular way
and I seen you and stuff, and I heard and
I heard how you was talking.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
I heard how you.
Speaker 10 (33:20):
Was you know what I'm saying, treating people normal people.
You stopped and you actually talked and you made them
feel like.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
I'm like, what somebody some about this guy?
Speaker 10 (33:29):
Okay, So I just sat back and I watched it
and watch you and I listened to you. I see

So I didn't know you had met us eight. So
you were not working for the station. You were just
hanging out, Yes, sir, Yes, I'm just hanging out.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
When did you start working at the station?
Speaker 2 (33:47):
But I say about.
Speaker 10 (33:49):
Thirteen months ago, thirty months ago, yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
But I've been. I've been.
Speaker 10 (33:54):
I've been around for like almost twenty years.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 10 (33:58):
Buckehead was the first one that gave me that the
little bite, and he showed me a lot of things
he did. You know, Buckehead was just he He's an
awesome guy. But at the same time, he got his
own personality. Yeah, and you know, if people got to
respect that. You can't respect that, then you get what
you got. But he introduced me to y'all, and y'all
introduced me basically to the radio world. Yeah, and I
(34:21):
was like, wow, I mean, like, I'm scared. If I'm scared,
as I'll get out those in front of this mic.
But I can set up tents, I can set up
I can hype the crowd up, I can get the
crowd back at.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
All of our listeners really like when we brought it
up this morning, Ryan brought up this morning. A lot
of people like Paramore is awesome because you you talked
to our listeners.
Speaker 6 (34:39):
A lot, and uh that's good because I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
What were your thought What were you thought the first
time you were going to do a monster event? What
was your what was your your initial thought because a
lot of people think, oh man, they're a bunch of
rednecks or there are a bunch of you know, Uh,
how how were you treated? What was your thought process
going into a monster event?
Speaker 10 (34:58):
My first one not don't take this person? No no,
I was scared of you me. Yes, why because I
didn't want to let you down. I didn't want to
come up. You know what I'm saying, like, Okay, this
big old black guy, he's this running no no, no.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
Rus hold on rush. So you got on the air,
you said high often when things went bad, you would
run the promotions team down. And then you then you
wonder why when they brought a new guy in, why
afraid to you? Because everyone knows when it's not to
your like you're gonna get run down on the air. Paramore.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Am I wrong?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Yep, you right, They're right.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
But but with that being said, and I'm not trying
to take credit, but I'm just saying he trying to
take credit. No, he knew, he knew how I would
be and now he's Employee of the Year because.
Speaker 6 (35:48):
It sounds like taking credit.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I'm taking credit.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
Basically what this is is so we got to give
Rush takes for you getting hired, Paramore, so you get
the employer of the Year.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
Mary, I'm glad that Rush got employed year through you to.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
There you go.
Speaker 5 (36:03):
Of the Year proxy by parable.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Hello, Amad, ain't mad? You know.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
I'm like, dude, I'm like this guy's.
Speaker 7 (36:11):
You seem like I was the only one who's there
last night because I'm the only one who cares about
this company.
Speaker 6 (36:16):
I heart the media.
Speaker 5 (36:17):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (36:17):
And so I saw you.
Speaker 7 (36:18):
You got genuinely choked up, and you it was the
first time I've ever actually seen you speechless.
Speaker 6 (36:24):
And then and then you.
Speaker 7 (36:26):
You kind of went to Rick and you're like, well, Rick,
thank you so much because you know about me and
everything in the back in the past and whatnot. And
you were like genuinely thankful, and you did cry, and
it was I think everybody there was just rooting for you,
Like I rarely see that many people come together and
like are like.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
You know, you're right about that.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Normally, a lot of times whoever's employed the year people

Welcome back.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I'm Russ Rollands along with Ryan Holmes and Angel and
Detective Barb from Crimeline is here. Detective Barb, did you
get rid of all of the trees?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Good?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Gone?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Are How happy are you that the whole thing is over?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I still got stuff to do down there?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 4 (01:26):
I gotta find a trailer today. I gotta load up
light carts and generators and return them.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It's a lot of work for you, it is after today.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
I'm almost done.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Out of all the fundraising events that you've done since
I've known you, which one is the easiest to pull off?
Because I know Zoo done. It is a lot of work.
I've seen you do that that's difficult. Chili cook off
is a lot of work, didn't you dragging around the
Harley didn't seem that bad. The Harley didn't seem like
it was that bad. And then this one seems like
(01:59):
it's a lot of work.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
But you tell me, with the Harley as it went
on for months, Yeah, all kinds of egins at night
and pushing that motorcycle up on the trailer.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
So we're we're done with that. I'm too old for that.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
So that one is too difficult.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Well it's it's time.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
It requires a lot of time time physically moving it
and stuff like that. Anyway, okay, but we're not going
back there because I got rid of the trailer this weekend.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Okay, So the trees we have figured it out.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Yeah, it's still a lot of work, right, but we
had great volunteers and I got to give some shout
outs real quick if you don't mind anything else. And
and a Popka have been fantastic. That big tent they bring,
it's wonderfol.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
And that's.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
A very incredible time.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
What's what size tent?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Was it?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Forty by sixty something? Is huge.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
That's expense, I mean, just so you know that's expensive.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I know that, trust me. And they're very good.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
And yeah, they could get a lot of money for that, guys,
time out, not time used.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
So yeah, so American Fence Company, you know, they fenced
that in for us. Sun Belt gave us worked with us.
We went with light carts instead of those big pole
behind generators.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Those are worth gold.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
The big pole behind light generators that you see at
construction sites.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Okay, so we found.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
These carts that you literally pull and push and plug
them into a generator that give you as much light
and they're.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Way, way less money.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
And then I have to tell you Seminole County Sheriff's
Office and Orange County they sent people to help me
unload the tractor trailer onto our truck and to put
the trees in which they built, helped me build the
stands for the first time ever, drum roll please, because
we didn't have a tree stand fall this year. First
(03:51):
year ever, we didn't have a tree stand fallover in
trees down top.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
So we've learned something, haven't we.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Anyway, it's as far as fund raising and profit and everything.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Does it do as good as chili cookoffins? Who done it.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
More? No? No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
The overhead is huge. You start paying for all those things.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Well that's what I was hearing.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yeah, running the generators and gas every day. No, they
were it.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Well, if you had to rind the tent, you would
have lost money.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Right, Well you can't.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Yeah, they're good, like I said, Yeah, but here's at
the end of the day.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Here's this.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
We were in places in central Florida within twenty miles
is the most We went with our trucks delivering trees,
and people were honking at our people. They were grateful
for what we were doing. We were walking trees.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
It was funny.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Angel I don't know if you were there walking trees
across the street into the apartments that were right there.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
So again, that was.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Actually one of the funnier stories. This guy was dead,
said that he wasn't going to get a tree. He
wasn't going to get a tree. And then his girl's like,
oh no, we're getting a tree. And then he comes
back and literally it's that new a complex. It's right
there across the street from them, and they delivered as
over a six foot tree, walked it up into the
complex that everything get set it up for the guy.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Yeah, and doctor Phillips, they let us have the location.
The location. What do you think was it better?
Speaker 5 (05:14):
I think it's I think it's a really good location. Yeah,
I think it's easier for people to get in and
they feel like because in that last location, you're coming
off Iphour and you're kind of coming in hot right
there on the corner where it's that one is a
little bit more manageable and uh, you don't feel the
pressure of just you know, having to make that right
and then right into the parking lot.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
So anyway, we're done good after I get rid of
lights and generators that I just got to find a trailer.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
So do you feel like a little bit.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Yeah, as soon as those lights and stuff are gone today,
I'll be in I'll be I'll be more bourbon the night.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I haven't to worry about anything tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Do you start making plans for next year already or
you do?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
You know, I don't even want to talk about it.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
The board's gonna want to talk about it next week
at their meeting, and I'm going to be like, I
don't know, let's just leave me alone.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know that's next year.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
It's a lot and and my board. We had really
good turnout from the board this year. They worked hard.
They're the ones who come in there and help us
lug trees and had a lot of friends show up
and help us lug trees.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
So yeah, that's we got a bad guy to.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Catch some I do look do look, I do look
for you know, and think of like other ways to
help raise money. So then you know, because I mean,
I feel bad, like, I know she's working really hard,
and uh, you know, I know at my age, I
don't want to work that hard, right.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
You know what, though this physically was maybe a little
easier on me. This year.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
We did have that one tree though it took six
grown men to move. Wow, it was seventeen foot when
it came off the truck.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Seventeen foot.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Yes, wow, that's big, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I mean, and it's going in someone's house.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
It did.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
We hauled it over and helped set it up.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Man, it's a beautiful house.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
It was.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I'll send you a picture of it when I get it,
a picture decorated. But at the end of the day,
while we don't make a ton of money, it's it
is a pr thing for us. And I can't tell you, Russ,
how many of your listeners, Yeah, drive by countless tree
lots to come.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
To us and get their tree.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
That's good.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
So it is. That part's kind of fun.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
And we see the same people and they come back,
and we had new customers that didn't know we even
did trees, so.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Well, people like you, Barb, we found out.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I was just thinking, I remember we did those those
deep dive things and they went through like every people
a person on the show, and one of the highest
rated I people was to take the barb.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
They like because I'm a grumpy old lad, because.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
You're a grumpy Yeah, yeah, you're real, you know. They
like the fact that you're grumpy.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Uh So are we trying to catch any bad guys there?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
You have one? And I don't know Ryan, if you
can pull this guy up.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
So this wanted person is wanted out of Henry County
over there by Fort Myers and stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
But he is a super bad guy.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
He's already done eighteen years for attempted second degree murder.
He has wanted for trafficking and amphetamines and a lot
of it was fentanyl, like hounds of fentanyl. He's part
of a major drug thing that has happened. His name
is Ephren Burman and he's forty two years old. What
we know is he's probably down in the Kassime area
(08:12):
because he's got a large family down there who's most
likely helping hide him.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Why is it the bad guys always look like bad guys.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
He looks like a bad guy.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
He looks like a bad guy.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
He does not look like a good dude.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
They're telling us that he wears a hat a baseball
cap all the time.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
He thing.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
One easy way to identify him is across his left
hand knuckles are the initials s.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
U R thirteen.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
SU are thirteen.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Yeah, and he's tattooed everywhere, ear low everywhere, So we
are we let's find him.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
He would be a great Christmas catch.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
And how much is the reward If they say up to.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Two thousand dollars right now, there's a chance that might
go up a little bit just because of his violence
and stuff like that. But we do know he's probably
in the Cassime area. He may be working for a
tattoo shop down there. If you see him, do not approach,
don't do anything to him other than calling the tip
and we will get people on him.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
We have teams ready to roll when we get these tips.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Okay, and then we are in December, it's it's getting
closer to Christmas time. Any any tips we should give
the audience. I mean, I know that we talk about.
You know, if you're going to go to the mall,
make sure you lock your car, don't leave stuff in
the seats where people can see it.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Even people go to restaurants and they'll take out their
little wallet and leave their personting there.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
You can't do that because that guy didn't know that
you just took what was a value.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Yeah, everything needs to be out of you. Put it
under a blanket in the back or something. Don't leave
things in view where they can you know, smash the window,
do whatever they're going to do. But the porch pirate
stuff's a little crazy this year.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
There's quite a bit of it going on.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, And you know, we learned last week or the
last time we talked to you that the police department
wants you to report. Though, absolutely they want you to.
I would have thought, I don't want to bother the
police or something so silly. I'll just I'll just you know,
get my refund from Amazon. But no, you would prefer
police would prefer to know that someone's stealing. That way
they have a better chance of catching them.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Well, that kind of policing's typically done through ring, doorbell
or nest or something like that, because your neighbor you
are going to catch them on camera, right, and then
you put it out there and we try and get
some names on it and we take care of business
after that. But nobody wants their Christmas room because the
package is ripped off on the porch. So we have
a five hundred dollars reward for that.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
So if you catch a punk porch pirates.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Pirate or would you call it porch punk p.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, well I will say punk porch pirate because a
pirate sounds fun.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
That's a good name.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Pirate.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
Only guy that has taken that that way, as you've
been calling them porch pirates for over a decade.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
Right, it does sound like a like a peg legged
man is robbing me?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (10:42):
What about porch poachers.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Who they are punks though they're punk? Stealing from people?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Lazy thieves?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
You know we learned yesterday? Is that that a lot
of people that check out for for checkout themselves, you know,
when they do a self checkout stealing?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Yeah, are stealing?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Have you ever thought about it?
Speaker 4 (11:00):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
What the hell?
Speaker 7 (11:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Me neither, but somebody else over there, Ryan, But put.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Your screen down.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Do not tell me you've thought about taking stuff from
a store.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
During self checkout. You were saying yesterday, said it? Would
you say?
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Uh? I asked if you had ever stolen?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
To me? Well, you know you said it was it
was the thrill of stealing one time or something like that.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Yeah, when I was twelve.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Oh oh, don't well, don't do it now, thief, thief?
What the hell?
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Sharing a store with you and you bring in detective
bar and this man stole once he's twelve, but he
thinks about it all the time.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Yeah, he's resting on you.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, dark, he's always taking a steal.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Rule.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
I've never and I prefer self checkout because I don't
have to talk to people.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I can get my stuff and go.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
All right, See, I liked, I liked.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I like to talk to the little cashier there, you know,
and say hi and whatever, like I don't mind that.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Like to bother people.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
No, I don't mind talking to him if I'm there.
But if I can check out and run, that's where
I'm going.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, But they send a lot of people and it's
and it's wealthier people that steal.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
And the thing is they're gonna end up shutting all
that down because it's just not financially worth keeping up
that much as walking out the door.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Right, All right, Well, it's a crime line.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
One eight hundred and four to two three tips is
the number in case you have forgotten. And if you
have a tip that you would like to give crime
line and it leads to an arrest, you're eligible for
a cash reward. And any tip you give is a
completely one anonymous. It would ruin the entire organization if
they ever broke that, and so they're not gonna break that.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You're always gonna be anonymous.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Next week's pay day, cash money, cash money.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
All right, thank you, Bob, coming in. All right, we'll
take a break. Don't go anywhere. You're listening to the
mantras morning.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Now they used to call it the Zonies, but now
they're calling it the Pinkies because the Cure Bowl is
all about wearing pink and breast cancer awareness.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
You don't need this. This is from yesterday, Ryan, Do
you need this?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
No? You do? Okay, Ryan, Ryan's talking himself into getting sick.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
He's feeling bad.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
You know how you can feel it in your bones
like you're not sick yet, but you're like you're like, oh,
I feel it in there.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Stop doing it. Feel like I have not physically been
around you.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Way to go, Angel, You got right, that's what he's
gonna do, and that's what that he's gonna be.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
This whole argument. If you're sick, then stay home. I
have zero since not you. I haven't coughed.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
I had to have you.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
I wouldn't incubate. I wouldn't get incubated sick by now.
My mother in law is sick, Mary Ellen, and I
saw her on on Friday.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
She was sick.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
She was not sick on Friday she was incubating. No,
she was not.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
She had the same thing. I did this, according to Russ, exactly.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Because my immune system is stronger than you guys. You
longer for it to hit me.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
You know, no one sneezing and coughing like you are.
She had the same thing Angel had, and she had
to you know, well.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
You guys are assuming I'm blaming it on you, guys.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
I just feel like, after I started coughing earlier, I
was like.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
What I really think is you heard stories of people
that are sick, and you are making yourself sick in
your head, is what I think.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Well, my brain can do that Okay, I'm not. No,
like it's that feet like it.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
There's there's a difference between like like like uh, worried
about being sick and then just like every time before
I get sick, I get this feet like it's like
in my bones.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Off what he's doing.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Because don't want to be out there tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
That's good idea. So you teach Amber how to run
the boy I have.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
I have done the best of I can to teach
her Angelie, any one of them who have asked to
be trained on this.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
You you Angelique.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
When when they have asked ask them how many times
they've asked me to be trained on this? You know,
every single every single time they I have showed them.
Now it's not my it's not my job to trust
them on their retention.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Okay, out of the two, I'd have to trust Angeli.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Really better.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
I mean it's like it's be flipping a double headed coin.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what he's trying to do. You

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Huh?
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Why are we talking to him?
Speaker 7 (17:27):
He always swings through, But why are we talking about
because he might say something stupid?
Speaker 5 (17:32):
It was kind of stuff lately.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I always like him.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I know, I know you say that, but like he's
always nice to me. Okay, how is he that he's
never nominated and he'll he'll hang. Yeah, he'll hang a
whole day. Dude's never been nominated for Best of Internal
Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
That's true, that's you. But I don't know. I seem
to have some sort of got He.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
Kind of got sideways on us because he got squirreling
on us because like, oh, it was y'all show that
so and so started talking crazy about him.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Remember that.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Yeah, he was mad it was the earthquake or it's one.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Of those guys. Yeah, oh, it was y'all show that
so and so started asking crazy quit they're talking crazy
about me.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I don't I don't remember that.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
I do remember that. He's always confrontational.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, that's his thing. Because he got into it with
sold Brother Kevin one time.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Yeah, but that wasn't on the air. That was at
a gig and it was dumb.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
No, No, it was on the air too.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
They got into it on the air because, uh, he
started making jokes about Puerto Rican girls and sold Brother
Kevin was dating a Puerto Rican girl at the time,
and he checked him on it, and they got somebody.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
That was that was tame in comparison then to what
happened at the comedy was. I didn't Yeah, I was
there at the comedy club. I didn't see that was
that was that was that was fire.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
That was fire.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Yeah, hands were about to be thrown.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Oh I'm not joking. Yeah, I was there.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Uh where was I gonna go?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Oh yeah? Yeah? Yeah. So yesterday I did the the
four oh seven on Fox thirty five. They changed my dates,
by the way, I normally do Monday and Thursday. They
for whatever is, they asked me to change it to
Mondays and Wednesdays from now on. Uh So, I'm gonna
find whatever. Put me in coach wherever you want me.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Uh so.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Uh talked to Marls. Marlee Is said to say hi
to you guys. By the way, she's so nice. Mar
Lisa Goldsmith on Fox thirty five. Here's the topics that
we talked about, and I'm curious what you guys think
about it. The first one was there's a new law
that bans Florida license plates the frames like the frame
that goes Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
So it's the vanity plastic frame. You can get it
anywhere from like when you purchase a new vehicle, yeah,
to any random places. People give them out as prizes.
So under the guise of this new super speeder law
that got passed. Right, one of the caveats that got it,
that got slid in there is that if you put
anything on the tag that is deemed as a barricade
(19:50):
or deemed that it makes it difficult to see the
driver's license, to read it, to read the plate. Yeah,
it's a five hundred dollars five or jail time or
jail time. They lid that in under the super speeder law.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Most people don't know that it's there. They don't know
the law is there.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
You're one hundred percent right. And in the last like
seven to ten days, like all kinds of places have
been coming out hard trying to make people aware of this.
I'm curious to see the first person or if there
have already been, and if they have been, they just
haven't arrested the right person, to see how long this
stays on the book.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
They said, that is what they mar Lisa said. She said,
they're just going to pull people over and tell them, hey,
you got to take that off for now, but at
some point it's going to be a five hundred dollars
fine or jail time.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Isn't her at all? And that's what she's saying. That
they're saying there hasn't been an announcement by any law
enforcement agency in the state of Florida that's that states
that that's all on the books and it could be
used as a guys to pull you over for anything else.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
So the thing is is a lot of people don't
they don't realize they have it. They don't know this
law is there because when you buy a car, a
lot of times, no matter what car deal, they just
put it on there. Ye. So a lot of almost
everybody's car has one of these, and now because the
law has changed, you could be breaking the law unsuspectedly.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
I found out about this last night. I didn't know
about it, and so before we left to go to
the holiday party, I had to go take that plate, ye,
the UCF graduate plate alumni off of my wife's car.
That's very proud of that you got. And then I
just started looking at the cars around me on I
four and I'm like, every f and car has one
of these things.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
They come like people give those like all kinds of companies,
all kinds of corporations, and they sell those like here's
like here we go if you want to do a
solid for the citizens of the state of Florida. Then
make it a law that you can't sell those in
the state anymore.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Yeah. By the way it took the law took effect
in October, so it's now in effect. You know. So
if you have one of those around your license plate
and it covers anything, you should take it off.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
I called my pop as soon as, you know, as
soon as like like, like I said, it's been heavily
promoted in the last seven to ten days. Russ I
had to call my pops because on his car he's
got one, you know, he's a veteran and everything, and
US Air Force and all that, and I was like, Dad,
you got to take that off. And he's like, well,
I don't know why. I was like, that's a new life.
He's like, it's a stupid boss. And I agree with you, Dad.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
What you did was just.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Create millions, tens of millions of pieces of trash. Also
because now we just got all throwers away. It's absolutely
insane now that the Florida Highway Patrol says first.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
Step is public awareness.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
So we're not giving anybody tickets just yet, but it's
absolutely say Angel, I think You're absolutely right. It's a
reason to pull people over. It's a reason to now
you know, you know you want to search the cars.
Maybe the flop cameras weren't picking up there.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
I was going to say, it's curious how they're really
pushing this after the stories across the state have broken
out or been emphasized about those cameras, and I'm you know, I'm.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Gonna ask me what what what what is it that
they are covering that is causing a problem.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Now, it's probably the AI of the flop cameras are
having trouble picking some of them up.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
And then is that is that the accurate? Is that
the reason they have to.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
Come out with this expect there's no reasoning for it.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
If you had to speculate, that would be I mean,
there's that's the only thing saying.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Sometimes these plates come. I get the plastic ones, Okay,
Like I'm just talking like little decorative frames. It's not
blocking any numbers. It might slightly cover the word Sunshine State.
The plastic ones that are meant to like trick toll
booths and all that kind of stuff. Get rid of that.
No big deal there, But like, uh, I can't think
(23:20):
of a reason other than like suddenly we are now
under full surveillance, and this probably messes it up.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
A lot of people say, I'm not taking anything off.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Watch dude, it's a fun game to play until they
pull you over for it.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
It's five hundred dollars and up to sixty days in jail,
so that's insane.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
So they really really want this. Then you have to understand,
like why.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
We're gonna have Mode to wit on with us tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
And he actually had a bunch of those that he
gave out, so we'll have to ask him about that.
You know, he's an.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Attorney, he can tell us. I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Do you think they're really gonna give somebody a five
hundred dollars fine, yes you think.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
Yeah, yes, right now they're not. But it's coming. I mean.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
And the other thing is like this is how dealerships advertise,
and I'd much I'd rather have the dumb plate that
I can take off over them throwing stickers that never
come off on my car, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Yeah, Like, dude, there's a trick to take those off.
I take that off stuff off all the time.
Speaker 7 (24:10):
I know, but every time I get a car like
it's always like, I guess I'm gonna have the dealership
name on here.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Ever, no, no, that I'm saying. There's a trick to take
those off.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
You can get a good hair brush.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Out there or hair dryer, put some Dirk tea because
that's put on the dealership, so you heat it all
up and everything and then you some.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
Yeah, either way, I don't know. It doesn't hurt anybody.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
I personally don't like putting bumper stickers and other stuff
in my car, but I really like having my like
ucflum you know, tag and it doesn't cover anything. But
now now it's legal like this, this is a bit
of an overreach, I think. I think if you were
blocking the numbers you that was already illegal and you
could be pulled over for that.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
Whennot so the other.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Topic we talked about once again.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
This was on the four oh seven on Fox thirty five.
I do it now on Mondays and Wednesdays with mar
Lisa Goldsmith and she's wonderful. The other one was Okay,
more and more, this is now more popular than ever.
Let's see if I can make it a question somehow.
And it's because of rising prices in food and going out.
(25:13):
What do you think is now more popular than ever
when you go to a restaurant, buffets, buffets, that's the
good guess it's not buffets. I think the opposite way.
We think Ryan empty plates, empty plates. Ye, no appetizers.
The sale of appetizers have gone up. More Americans are
(25:34):
going to restaurants and just going and like, hey, we're
justna have a couple of appetizers and some drinks because
we can't really afford the entree.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
You look what Chili's did. Chili's turned their whole year round.
Some friggin influencer did a whole thing on their cheesy
cheese sticks or whatever. Yeah, kind of thing, and it
completely it's documented, it completely changed their whole year round.
They were headed in the wrong direction. This influencer does
this thing, and she did it out of her own pockets,
(26:01):
and it just kind of sparked this thing about how
you can go to Chili's and have, you know, this
whole selection of appetizers and it becomes way more affordable.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
You know, And I've been like, shit, we've been doing
that for a long time, Like we'll just go set
at the bar and have a couple appetizers and some
drinks and not have a, you know, a big, big dinner.
And it was It wasn't really because of the price.
Just so my wife doesn't eat that much and I'm
always on some perpetual stupid diet, so I'll just have
a couple of little things instead of having like a
big dinner. But do you guys do a lot of
appetizers when you go to a restaurant.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Depends on the place, because there's some places that will
do that, for example, that their appetizers are more adventurous
or it seems like more fun, and so I don't
mind ordering a handful of things off of off of
the appetizer's menu as opposed to the main entree.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
What's your go to appetizer? What's your favorite?
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Oh man, it all really depends. Like some places will
do a really fantastic Mexican street corn. I dig that.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
And do you do you choose to do you monzarella sticks?
Speaker 5 (27:02):
That one? That one depends. I love Montrela, I do,
but I like them good. And if they if they
seem like they're like already like if they're not homemade
or not made in house and they're getting them from
ac no, but you can tell the difference.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Dude. Yeah, I like pretty much any mozzarella sticks.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
What's the fried octopus? I can't remember them? Calamari kalamari?
My Placeide does a good calamario.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Klamari is good. Yeah?
Speaker 6 (27:24):
Yeah, are you what you hate to tell you?
Speaker 7 (27:27):
Calamari is actually squid and not not whatever.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
Okay, you know what, Thank you.
Speaker 7 (27:33):
For the correct I hate to tell you in a while,
I know. If there's potstickers, that's a good one. Like
that's weirdly the best place to get potstickers for no
reason at all, not even an Asian restaurant is Mulligan's
over here and now ah really yeah, if you get
like they serve burgers, they serve beer.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
It's a bar. But if you get their potstickers, man,
they are so good.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Walking chips.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
My favorite appetiser used to be the place I go
to and they stopped making them with little corn dogs,
a little baby corn dogs. Love it was. It was
an appetizer and I'd give you some baby corn dogs.
Those are so good.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
Baby doesn't dog nugget a little bit of.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Dog nugget a little corn dog?
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Ruggets said, we'll do it like Uh like Cavos Cowbos
does a meatballs appetizer.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I dig that. Yeah, I'll do that as well. Take
a break on news. More news from the headline, I
am hungry. You are right.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
Let's get some appetisers in this bah.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
Let's get some mos sticks.
Speaker 2 (28:32):

seven on Fox thirty five. I'm on there on Mondays

and you don't complain about anything. And that's the kind
of employee that that everybody wants. I appreciate it.

I appreciate it, but at the same time, I appreciate
the opportunity because you know, when I first met you,
I met you like about oh my god, like about
I say, about eighteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
We was at the yeah, eighteen years ago, yes, sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 10 (33:02):
I was with Buckethead and you was going into the
I think it was WrestleMania out of Paramour, and you
know what I'm saying, like, y'all was going in the
back end because y'all vip and I was like, you know,
hood rat. So I'm just going in the regular way
and I seen you and stuff, and I heard and
I heard how you was talking.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
I heard how you.
Speaker 10 (33:20):
Was you know what I'm saying, treating people normal people.
You stopped and you actually talked and you made them
feel like.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
But I say about.
Speaker 10 (33:49):
Thirteen months ago, thirty months ago, yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
But I've been. I've been.
Speaker 10 (33:54):
I've been around for like almost twenty years.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 10 (33:58):
Buckehead was the first one that gave me that the
little bite, and he showed me a lot of things
he did. You know, Buckehead was just he He's an
awesome guy. But at the same time, he got his
own personality. Yeah, and you know, if people got to
respect that. You can't respect that, then you get what
you got. But he introduced me to y'all, and y'all
introduced me basically to the radio world. Yeah, and I
(34:21):
was like, wow, I mean, like, I'm scared. If I'm scared,
as I'll get out those in front of this mic.
But I can set up tents, I can set up
I can hype the crowd up, I can get the
crowd back at.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
All of our listeners really like when we brought it
up this morning, Ryan brought up this morning. A lot
of people like Paramore is awesome because you you talked
to our listeners.
Speaker 6 (34:39):
A lot, and uh that's good because I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
What were your thought What were you thought the first
time you were going to do a monster event? What
was your what was your your initial thought because a
lot of people think, oh man, they're a bunch of
rednecks or there are a bunch of you know, Uh,
how how were you treated? What was your thought process
going into a monster event?
Speaker 10 (34:58):
My first one not don't take this person? No no,
I was scared of you me. Yes, why because I
didn't want to let you down. I didn't want to
come up. You know what I'm saying, like, Okay, this
big old black guy, he's this running no no, no.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
Rus hold on rush. So you got on the air,
you said high often when things went bad, you would
run the promotions team down. And then you then you
wonder why when they brought a new guy in, why
afraid to you? Because everyone knows when it's not to
your like you're gonna get run down on the air. Paramore.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Am I wrong?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Yep, you right, They're right.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
But but with that being said, and I'm not trying
to take credit, but I'm just saying he trying to
take credit. No, he knew, he knew how I would
be and now he's Employee of the Year because.
Speaker 6 (35:48):
It sounds like taking credit.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
