we talk about movies. I love talking about movies. And
uh we've talked about Will Smith before. I saw a

(04:37):
list of Will Smith's top grossing movies of all time.
What do you think his top grossing movie of all
time is?

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Independence Day?

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Independence Day is not? It is number two? Wow? So
men in Black? Men in Black? Great? Guess number six?

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Really Bad Boys three?

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Which one is that? Because I know they have like names?
Oh right, I think it is bad Boys. There's bad
Boys for life, There's bad Boys. Ride or Die? I
think is not the most is three, the recent one. Yes,
that came in at number ten.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Okay, So then how about Bad Boys for Life that.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Came in at number nine. He was in uh oh god,
a Marvel movie, Birds of Prey, Suicide Squad, Suicide Squad,
Suicide Squad. Yes, that came in at number three. Okay,
I'm listen. I'm telling you. When I tell you at
number one is you'll go what.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
I am? Legend?

Speaker 1 (05:44):
I am legend, great movie. Number seven on this list.
Let's let GIMPI go bagger Vants Legend of bagger Vance.
Well you did say not on this list, all right?
So number twelve I robot. Okay, that's pretty big movie.
I wouldn't have guessed it to be in the top ten,

(06:04):
but it's a pretty big movie. Number eleven, hitch oh,
I love that one. Sure. Number ten. Bad Boys writer died,
Number nine, Bad Boys for Life, Number eight, Men in
Black two.

Speaker 6 (06:20):
See that's I was curious about that because he's done
so many sequels like that with the Bad Boys and
the Men in Black.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
I didn't know if it was going to be all
just one umbrella. Yeah no, no, there are separate movies.
Number seven, I am legend. Number six, the original Men
in Black, Number five Hancock, that movie was just all right. Yeah,
he came in a number five. Yeah. The only good
thing about that movie is Charlie starin. Yeah, she looks
so hot in it.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Truth.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Number four, Men in Black three, I agree. Now, you
could make an argument that you know, some of these
as of late, were they've taken price was higher, I'm
sure right. Number two sorry, Number three Suicide Squad seven
hundred and forty nine million dollars. Wow, it took in.

(07:10):
I haven't seen it. I couldn't tell you anything about it.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
It's all right, Yeah, I think it was a letdown.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Number two Independence Day eight hundred and seventeen million dollars.
So his number one movie is a billion dollar movie. Aladdin, Yes,
Aladdin one point zero five billion dollars. Huh, what are

(07:38):
you talking about, will I have never seen that version
of Aladdin, but I kind of hold you know, Robin
Williams Genie up on a pedestal. You should. I don't
think you can compare to anything you should because so much.
In fact, he didn't want to do the movie. He
got to negotiate his deal. They don't have Disney doesn't
have the rights to use his ideas those things. He

(08:00):
said his voice. He's one of the only people in
the history of Disney to get this deal. That's why
you don't see the Disney like the Aladdin stuff. You
know that version of Aladdin. You don't hear it in dolls, right,
you don't see it in cartoons. You don't hear it
when you go to the park, you don't hear that version.

(08:20):
That's why it wasn't in the movie. They had a
special deal with him, Okay, And that's why when you
see it with you're like, what, that's the live action?
For those that don't know the Aladdin, right, it's not
a cartoon. I mean it kind of is. It's CG
because Will Smith isn't doesn't really come out of a
Genie bottle and z e he's CG to smoke up.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah, I've never seen that version myself either.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
I'm surprised Wild Wild West wasn't on that line. Oh gosh, No,
that's fun. What's his least successful what's that movie with
Margot Robbie everybody was so psyched about and I think
it was the movie she did right after Wolf of
Wall Street and Jellyfish? Is that what it's called I

(09:10):
The only cool thing about the movies the house he
lives in is like he's got a jellyfish aquarium. What. Yeah,
that's the only thing about it. I have seen the
movie and I couldn't tell you one thing about it
except Margot Robbie's in it. It ain't that good. And
then the jellyfish thing. I'm not seeing anything in here

(09:32):
about jelly I have no idea.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
I only know of them in Suicide Squad Together.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Uh yeah.

Speaker 6 (09:40):
So the Wolf of Wall Streets is the name of
the movie. Oh yeah, I remember that. I've seen it before.
It's not good.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
This is all you need to know. It's a crime
comedy drama. I'm hooked. Let me see it. How many
movies are in the crime comedy drama genre and which
ones are that? Like, if you were gonna put your
hat on one, what would it be? I guess. Well,
now you can't say like Police Academy, that's not a drama.

(10:10):
There's no drama in.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
That Beverly Hills cop or.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Okay like that. Here we go. These are top crime
drama edy picks. Peacemaker for those who know that's that
John Cena movie. Uh okay, Wednesday, like the series on Netflix. Correct, okay, Elizabeth,

(10:36):
that is a TV show. I'm Pluto for those thing two.
It's always just weird promoting Pluto. That's a it's a
good network. My friend, I watched All Dogs Go to
Heaven on Pluto last night. Mister in between, see these
aren't Hustlers? Is considered a top crime drama. Ye oh, brother,

(10:57):
where art thou? Okay? That makes sense. I don't see
it as a comedy. There's some like ahh yeah, nice, right,
but I don't go right. Uh, twenty one Jump Street okay?
Comedy crime, okay, dramedy. Would Game Night be one because

(11:23):
there's some suspense in that, there's some drama. There is comedy,
it's funny, Yeah, it's uh. I'm sure it would fit
in there. I'd genre. I just didn't expect to be Yeah.
I can't see one that sticks out.

Speaker 6 (11:39):
Fargo, Okay, it's not a comedy though pulp fiction. No, again,
not a comedy. Mastermind would be more comedy crime drama.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
I think War Dogs is on this list for those
of No, that's that movie with Jonah Hill and uh god,
what is that guy's name? Miles Teller, who's a great actor.
It's a great film. But is it funny. I don't
think it's funny. You know that movie's all made up.

(12:13):
Really Yeah, there's no legitimacy to it at all. They
say it was based on a true story. Well so
it was the Titanic, but right loosely based. Yeah, but
I can't imagine if you would have nine days out
of ten. I'm not picking Aladdin to be the number
one tom grossing Will Smith movie. I can't name another

(12:35):
person in it. I can't think of another person in
Aladdin the live action right, right, right, right right? Mina
Masud whoever that is, sure, she's great. It's a key. Oh,
he would play it a lad.

Speaker 6 (12:53):
Naomi Scott played the part of Jazzmine. Marwan Kinsari was Jafar.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yeah. These are a bunch of nobody's. I've never they're
nobody's to us. Now, maybe they might be in some
other genre film, right, I've never.

Speaker 6 (13:08):
I've never seen any of them in any other films.
But that doesn't mean anything.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Over a billion dollars for that Aladdin movie. I was
put on my heels when I saw that. Couldn't believe it.

Speaker 6 (13:19):
It's all the parents taken their kids to see because
the we loved the original version, so we've got to
go and check out this new version that compare and
parents probably walked away disappointed because we're expecting of Robin
Williams Genie esque, you know, right, and then they said
you get you get will Smith.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Was that the first live action No, I.

Speaker 6 (13:41):
Want to say the Jungle Book probably was the first
of that live action type movies. This is like Jungle Book,
and then I'd probably say The Lion King, and then
they did The Laddin, then.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
The Little Mermaid. I'm probably wrong. Wanted to see what
it did, if people loved it or not. Us six
out of ten on Rotten Tomatoes, whatever that means to you.
It's just above average. Yeah, fifty three out of one
hundred on Metacritic. Okay, Cinema Score gave it an A.

(14:19):
That's pretty good. Yeah, it is always good. Okay, Well,
maybe I need to give it, give it a chance.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
Yeah, I mean, you got other things going on watch.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
I'm pretty busy. Yeah, I'm pretty busy. Uh. I wanted
to see live action movies, so in the pixels save see.
This is the problem with a list like this, it's
hard to decipher because live action can mean a lot
of things based on cartoons or comics. Yeah, there's a

(14:58):
lot of them. Avengers is a lot considered live action
because it's based off a comic.

Speaker 6 (15:05):
So I just typed an animated movies turned live action, right,
the Flintstones, Yeah, I mean it fits yeah, John Goodman, yea,
which I learned. I learned something about The Flintstones and
those movies. So The Flintstones came out and what was
that like, early ninety ninety four some jive like ever.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, and then they had the sequel, which was actually
a prequel, Viva Rock Vegas.

Speaker 6 (15:34):
If you remember that Flintstones movie. Yeah, I got to
watching it. I don't know why there's nothing else on TV,
but that's when I realized that their sequel was actually
a prequel because it didn't have Wilma as Wilma Flintstone.
It was Wilma's maiden name and same thing with Betty.
And I was like, well, that's interesting. Why Oh this

(15:55):
was before they got married and Viva Rock Vegas suck donkey.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
But just so you know, so there's gotta be five
hundred movies on this list. Three hundred movies on this
list live action, Yeah, I mean, it's there's no way
Aladdin was the first one. I guess no. I mean
if that's the case, then I mean they did Cinderella
in twenty fifteen.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
That's right, Cinderella.

Speaker 6 (16:23):
They even consider Casper to be that because it's got
actual people and then the animation. Well, hell, if that's
the case, then who framed Roger Rabbit would probably be
the very first one. Or or if you want to
take it way back that remember that Disney movie they
got banned called Song of the South because it was

(16:43):
like extremely racist or whatever, that would probably be I
would consider that one because I watched that in the
theaters as a kid.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yeah, but I don't know if it was based off
a cartoon like Garfield as an example, was a cartoon
then they made the movie. Okay, that makes sense. I
was just thinking of like live actual people, human actors
with animation on the inside, you know, combined together. Sonic
the Hedgehog comes to mind. Okay, Space Jam apparently is

(17:14):
on that list that one would count. I think Superman,
except there's a musical element that doesn't exist with Superman
that exists with Cinderella and with Aladdin.

Speaker 6 (17:29):
Dumbo is another one that came out in twenty nineteen
live at adaptation.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah. Man, I can't wait for the Dumbo action. I'm
so excited. There's an element to ridiculousness that comes along
with live action, Like those sonic movies are pretty good. Yeah,
I enjoy them.

Speaker 6 (17:49):
Jim Carrey does a good job doing Jim Carrey's things,
you know.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
But it fits perfect for that villain, right. But there's
just a bizarreness of when the male character, lead character
is talking to the comic that there's just a weird
element there.

Speaker 6 (18:06):
I love you, buddy, and you're like, what, knowing it's
some guy in a green suit with balls all over
him because it's all cgi, it's not nine.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
But if that right, I don't know how they do that. Oh,
we watched The Worst Show. Oh my gosh, it's so bad,
but my kids wanted to watch it, so we watched it.
It's on Netflix. And are you familiar with the Mask Singer?

Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (18:28):
For those who know, it's a show on TV where
celebrities are wearing these crazy costumes and they sing. And
initially it was supposed to be people you didn't know
that can sing, and then it kind of evolved because
it was so successful into having people that could actually sing,
real singers singing songs that maybe weren't thirs, and it
was hard to decipher who they were, right, and then

(18:51):
the celebrity judges would have to guess or try to
figure out who it is, and we you know, carried
on week to week and stuff like that. It was
it was it's it's not a bad show. No it's
not greatest, but I mean, says you, it's not my
cup of tea. But it's a pretty great show. It's
quite successful anyway. That stealing the bid off that there

(19:12):
is a show called, I think it's called Masked Monster
Dance and these people do it. It's a dance competition,
but it's not famous people dancing, and they're not dancing
in a mass in a costume. They're dancing with Gimpie
described that skin tight outfit with all the balls on it.

(19:34):
Off screen, you can't see them. And it's people that like, hey,
I used to dance and then I had a kid.
I haven't danced in thirty years. Dance Monsters is the name, Okay, yeah, okay.
And that's the only good part about it is you
see these people like so crying because they're getting to
dance again and they feel so good. Ye, but they're

(19:55):
not good. Oh they're bad bad, like really bad, like
e laye On Seinfeld dancing bad. Imagine Elaine who if
she danced in high school and then thirty years later dancing.
That's what it is. Okay, Yeah, this looks terrible. One person,

(20:17):
like the first person we watched, they're like that, I
didn't feel like it was that good dance competition. They
have like these famous people judging them that are famous
in the dance world, and you're like, that's not that good.
And then you see the others and you're like, oh, no,
that was really good, and they're so excited to be dancing.
But again they're cg. They're these monsters, so you don't

(20:40):
know what they look like.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Right.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
One girl was like, uh, she was like a nuclear
scientist or something, and she's always loved dancing and you know,
I never had the body for it. Really inspiring story,
and then you dance she dances, and you're like, oh,
there's a reason you're not dancing.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Stick to science.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah, you clearly excelled in science, but I don't know
why they're not having It's almost like they didn't coach
these people at all, and maybe that's part of the
beauty behind it. Oh I don't. It's you know, it's
so uncomfortably bad if you think about it, Like, American
Idol is fantastic. Everybody loves to see the big wiener, right,
But the best part of American Idol is all the

(21:22):
tryouts and auditions where the people just suck so bad.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
It used to be when the show first started it
was kind of fun seeing those people that were horrible,
but then it got too much. It was like, Okay,
come on, I just want to see the talented ones,
because then it just seemed almost it was too scripted, okay,
that they were just putting them in there just for filler, and.

Speaker 6 (21:47):
They probably were same thing with if you remember that
TV show So You Think You Can Dance. I don't
know if it's still on or not, but it was
an American Idol type show, but it was for dancing instead, and.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Some of them those tryouts were just brutal. But if
I'm being honest, I haven't seen American Idol in fifteen
years either, so I have no idea how it works.
I think that show hasn't even been in like the
top ten in like a decade, but people they still
it's still on.

Speaker 6 (22:18):
Fox canceled it finally after so many years, and then
who was it? I think it's like NBC picked it
up or something like that.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Oh, I don't know. I thought it was still on Fox.
I couldn't. That's yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Yeah, that's more knowledge than I have on that show.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
There is a cool show on Netflix for kids called
Make It, and it's this guy used to be a
toy builder and him in his misfit of characters build
things and they let kids come on and pitch ideas
and they have to make like a guitar boat that's cool,
it's really cool, or a pirate ship that has a

(22:55):
pizza cannon, okay, and they make they make it like
out of wood, they test it, do all these things
and it's done really really well. It could be really boring,
but they've really juiced it up to be really fun.
And the cast of characters is typical shop type of characters.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
They all people you probably wouldn't trust with your kids
on a street, right, But they're funny, yeah, right, in
the very shop type of way. But that's a pretty
good kids show. Or adult show if you're high.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
Did you watch the Lego one with the kids?

Speaker 1 (23:29):
I did. I didn't find it to be that good
watching people. It's a competition where people have to do legos.
But I love my children and I barely like watching
them do it. I'm just being honest, Yes, so to
watch other families do. If anything, it caused my kids
to be like, let's go on the show, okay, right?

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Or can we go to Lego Land? Or can we
just go to Lego store?

Speaker 1 (23:54):
No, my kids don't know that exists.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
No, not yet until someone tell them.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
That's fine, someone can tell them. I don't care. I
gonna be like, yeah, not one near here, because a
kid can tell them it exists, right right, That's gonna
be a couple of years before they know where it is.
Where'd you get that at the Lego store? Where's that?
Woodland Hills? Mall? Dad? You know we've done that. We've
done that, gone to the leg store. Oh yeah. The
good thing about that is everything's really expensive, right, And

(24:21):
I'm like, who, how much money you got?

Speaker 7 (24:24):
Right?

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Well? Yeah, it ain't your birthday and it ain't Christmas,
all right? We got tickets to Rockaholmer we're gonna give away.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
Man Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Man's cooling off swim mistaken for suicide attempt. This happened
in the Netherlands at the more Jicobridge where police, firefighters
and paramedics were rushed to this bridge after reported suicide attempt.
See They found this Hungarian truck driver who had parked

(25:24):
on the highway shoulder. He jumped into the river below
just to cool off. It was a warm summer night,
thought I need a swim. The man made it to
a ladder was picked up by a passing boat, realizing
the water was more dangerous than expected. Authorities say that
he learned a very valuable lesson, don't jump off the

(25:45):
bridge into the water. He received a ticket for the
unsafe actions that prompted the major emergency response, which included
helicopter units and a sea rescue team. So lots of
money apparently was spent.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
On a dude that just wanted to go for a swim.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Well, I mean when it's hot, right, yeah, cool off
by jumping off a bridge, right. I typically don't. I
just turn on the AC. But I'm a weirdo. What
do I know?

Speaker 6 (26:17):
Costume man pulled a dagger over no easy lawnmower as
comes out of Florida where this dude named Brian Hanson.
He's a landscaper and he was doing his job. He
was mowing a couple of lawns down the road from
this guy named Anthony. Right, Anthony Marzola. He's fifty one,
Anthony here, old Tony. He didn't like sound a lawnmower,

(26:40):
so he goes out to confront the man. He goes
out to confront the man dressed as a jester. Yes,
as in like King Arthur's court kind of gesture.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Ahow.

Speaker 6 (26:50):
So he goes to his truck, pulls out this twelve
inch blade and then starts charging at the man. So
Brian goes and gets his lawnmower kind of gets it
in between both of them, so the man can't really
get to him anyhow. Police get called out. They say
they don't know why this guy was dressed up as
a gester, except and maybe because he works at this
place called the Psychedelic Gesture smoke Shop. They think that's

(27:12):
why he was dressed up as a joker as a gesture. Anyhow,
they went ahead and took him in Old Tony in
for felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
And he wasn't funny, didn't make him.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Laugh, didn't make anybody laugh. I mean, we don't have
enough gesters anymore. No, They're pretty much a thing in
the past. They're not really They're not really appreciated, right,
There's not enough people wearing the hats, you know what
I mean. Right, one time, that was the.

Speaker 6 (27:47):
Thing, like back in the nineties, right, jester hats along
with like, you know, the cat in the hat hats.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
I mean, I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (27:56):
It seemed like everybody had, you know, a cat in
the hat hat. And I feel like there's a there
was some out there that wore gesture hats. Maybe it's
just me.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah, I don't remember that, dude, I don't. I don't remember.
I mean because people wore like for a while with
the slash hats right, like a lot of people were
doing that.

Speaker 6 (28:14):
Right, like slash the guitars right top hat. Yeah, yeah,
but I don't remember. I don't remember people wearing other hats.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Maybe it's just me. Maybe it's just deer in the
fair time.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Yeah. Maybe maybe at certain concerts or different shows.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
The people you were running with did did they? Did
they wear? Those hats? Are crazy hats. I had friends
that had a couple of friends that had the Doctor
Seus's hat and the hat hat. Uh. Maybe there was
a gesture involved in there.

Speaker 6 (28:51):
But just wearing silly hats like that anymore, anyway, it's
just kind of gone away. Nobody really wears silly hats anymore.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
Oh, I don't know. I've done definitely seen some of
those Kajugugu hats or whatever they are, right right, or
a lot of you shouldn't be wearing stocking caps, that's
the truth. A lot of people also don't know how
to wear hats. In general, because they're too big for
your skull. So I don't know. Horned rabbits spotted in

(29:20):
northern Colorado. So people in northern Colorado are reporting horned rabbits.
Residents in some part of the state have taken photos
recently of wild rabbits that appear to have black horns
and tentacles growing out of their heads. A spokesperson for
the Colorado Parks and Wildlife says the horn like growths
are the result of benign virus commonly referred to as SPV,

(29:43):
which will sometimes affect rabbits and parts of the Central
Us during the summer months. They say there's no risk
of the virus spreading to humans or other animals through
though they recommend you avoid contact with horned rabbits. Not
horny horned, it's just carroteene that's growing out at the
top of their head. It looks gnarly though, yes, And

(30:04):
it's not just too there's also some like behind it,
like it's kind of kind of wild looking. Control reminds
me of the last of us, you know, how their
fungus kind of takes over something. Yeah, a little bit, yeah, yeah, yeah, No,
you're exactly right, it does look like that spooky. All
these stories are on our Facebook page at Facebook dot

nine four five Lindsey, what's the best and what's the worst?

Speaker 2 (31:38):
The best? Yesterday, my friend Kim came into town. She
and her family had moved to Connecticut a few years back,
and she came for a visit and we hosted, so
got some girls together who I hadn't seen in a
while too, and Kevin smoked a pork shoulder for the
first time and it turned out.

No, a friend of ours neighbor actually was having a
moving sale and she gave us her smoker, so we
got a free smoker and electric one.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
Yeah, and yeah, it turned out really nice. It was
really good. Yeah, they were perfect. He was like, I
think they were a little dry. I could have done
them better. I'm like, no, they're perfect, tasted amazing. And
then my girlfriend Ashley came over and surprised me. She
had two tickets to Friday's Chiefs Bears preseason game, and

(32:33):
she's like, do you want them in Chicago?

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Right? No?

Speaker 2 (32:37):
At Chiefs at Yeah, So I'm taking Marcus and we're
gonna go. I'm gonna go to a Chiefs base.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Oh, I thought.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
I'm so excited. So none of the stars are gonna play,
I know, but whatever. Her kid is going as well,
and he knows apparently where to go to for all
the autographs. So like, okay, let's do this. This seven
a pm game, so we'll stay overnight.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Have you ever been to an NFL game? Yes? I have.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
I've been to a Bears game before win.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
I was the first time in high school, and then
in college I would go to a couple when they
played the Vikings.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
So it's been two decades. Yes, Oh yes, it'll be fun.
Do you know where your seats are at?

Speaker 2 (33:22):
No?

Speaker 1 (33:23):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
She said she didn't think they were great seats. I'm like, whatever,
who cares, We're going. So I'm very excited about that.
The worst of the weekend would probably be the heat.
On Saturday, we had meet the RedHawks at what does
that mean in stadium football? It's where you meet the
new varsity team this year. This year's team, the eighth, ninth,

(33:45):
and varsity teams, and they have a scrimmage and because
of the heat, they had to push back the scrimmage,
so instead of starting everything at five point thirty, pushed
back an hour later. So it was just instead of
getting home by around seven o'clock, I didn't get home
until after nine o'clock. So it was just a late,
long day. I was very tired and very sweaty and gross.

(34:09):
That was the worst of.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
It, best and worst of the weekend. What's the best
thing that happened this weekend? And the worst thing that
happened this weekend? BMMS and whatever that is to eight two,
nine four five, kim P. I have to say saturday'd
be the best part of the weekend. Got all my
outfits for oklaholma in you guys are you guys are
gonna love them? I got three of them, you know,
so one for every day that uh do you normally

(34:31):
do outfits? Is this a new thing? This is a
new thing? Okay?

Speaker 6 (34:34):
Remember the raft Racers outfit awoard last year? Uh huh
from the Drillers whatever? Okay, yes the matching shortened. Yes, yes,
they're like that and they are fantastic. I can't wait.
I can't wait till Rockaholma next weekend.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
So you want to change your name to like Elton
John for all your costume changes or Beyonce.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
Yeah, I'm sure. I'm only changing clothes once a day.
It's not like I'm like, all right, it's one to thirty,
I better go change outfits real quick. Now. I like that,
But I am super stoked to showcase mine my new fits.
But Saturday, you know, we got up after you know,
we got up early, my lady and I and we
rode to Eureka Springs and started off as a day trip.

(35:20):
We're just going to ride out there and then we'll
come back in the evening time. And well, we took
the long way out, all the way through Highway twenty
up eighty two D all the way down. Love the ride.
We got there and hung out for a little while,
and then decided to stay the night. You know, it's
just like, you know what, screw riding back, Let's just
grab a hotel. We did found this really awesome little

(35:41):
hotel that's kind of tucked away in the woods there,
you know, and we ate and did some night swimming
and just enjoyed ourselves. And then got up the next
day and rolled right on back. Stop by Natural Falls.
I always stop anytime I'm coming back from that area.
We stopped by, but she had never been before, so
it was good to be able to, you know, show
her that for the first time ever. Did you guys
have swimsuits? No, we went and bought them. Huh. Yeah.

(36:05):
We went to this guy went to a dollar dance.

Speaker 6 (36:08):
Dollar Dance was the name of this place is. You know,
it's just some cheap store or whatever, and ended up.
You know, I didn't need anything fancy. I just know
something to cover my nung, you know.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
And something else. Yeah, he already had something covered it. Yeah,
and you know, she found one.

Speaker 6 (36:24):
And we took full advantage of that pool because it
was hot, hot, hot, which takes me to the worst
of the weekend, which would be the heat riding around
and the heat socked. I'm using my body's bike until
I get my fixed or whatever. And his set up
a lot differently than mine, and I'll be damned, his
motor gets so damn hot. It burned my leg through

(36:45):
the denim through my jeans. Right, I thought it was
just getting high. I knew it was cooking.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
My leg the entire time.

Speaker 6 (36:52):
But the next day I see a nice little blister
had boiled up, and I'm really yeah, And I was like, well,
that's not good, but it'll be all right.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
What is that?

Speaker 6 (37:00):
What is all that down there? That's a streak glide? Okay,
I got twenty two, I think street glide. Uh screaming
eagle Stage four screaming eagle to the thing haul's ball?

Speaker 1 (37:09):
What year is it? Twenty two? I believe ranks. So
it's just like, is it that v U motor? Yeah? Yeah,
I think so, but it's bad. It's a bad sum
bitch man.

Speaker 6 (37:20):
But the seat my buddy Sparky, he's he recently he
had a stroke and that's why he can't ride his bike,
and just mine needs to be ridden park yours here,
you know, and just dride mine around or whatever. So really,
but he's a taller fella, right, He's a bit taller
than I am. So it's it's set for him, you know.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
And I'm sure with his big, long ass legs he
doesn't get burnt. But with my short little legs, not
so much. H I'm all all burnt up. I was
riding one. It's been a few years and I was
at a stop line and I was just like, this
is dumb. Oh right, I forget what it was that
I was riding. It might have been a streat light,
and just going, this is dumb. It's so hot.

Speaker 6 (37:57):
Yeah, the amount of heat that those things put out
is ridiculous. But for the love of the ride, we
will We'll suck it up and deal with it.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
Yeah, just nuts roast and over and open fire was
a completely different thing. Best and worst the weekend? What's
the best thing that happened this weekend? And the worst
thing that happened this weekend? Bmms and whatever that is
to eight two nine four five, I'm best and worst
is probably the same thing I was just telling Lindsay,
I'm reading this book and it's so good. Blake Crouch

(38:25):
has a book called Recursion, and in the book, it
is about resetting your memories, like going back and basically
reliving your life. Oh okay, right, and that you've There's
the worst part is that it's put me into a
spiral about everything. I'm not joking. Usually books will do
that to me for like a day. I can't stop

(38:46):
thinking about it, that everything has been reset at some
point and that the certain things had to happen for
you to be where you are today, which I guess
is true philosophically, but that like your grant, your parents
had to die for you to be with who you're
with today.

Speaker 6 (39:06):
Right, no matter how tragic the event is, there's a
reason that it happened. I'm a firm believer in that
sort of thing. Everything happens for a reason, no matter
how much it sucks, It happens for a reason. Teach
you a lesson whatever the case is.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Yeah, I've never loved that philosophy because that I don't
want to have somebody that have to be for somebody
I love, right, you know what I mean, rather than
the philosophy of things work out right. Uh yeah, I
don't be like I don't like the idea of sacrifice. Well,
it's not like you sacrifice.

Speaker 6 (39:39):
It's not like you took them up to a vault
somebody I love, right and you know, stuck a dagger
through their heart and a toss to men or whatever.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
Not that kind of sacrifice. Plus, I think it's super insulting,
like somebody who has a miscarriage or their children's die
tragic to be like it's for a reason right, that
sounds terrible, but I mean it very well could be. Yeah,
well no, you definitely don't want to hear that, as
you can't fathom this small human dying tragically, and you're like,

(40:07):
it happened for a reason. I just read a story
about a former Miss Universe. It's on the KMO depage
and she died after complications from an ELK flying through
her windshield while she was driving. Hey, it happened for
a reason, right, It's a wild story if you get

(40:29):
the chance to read about her doing this. But I've
never loved the idea of it being for a reason.
But then I start thinking about all the things that
you have reset, and then the ultimate thing in the
book is like people kill themselves because once you get
to the point in time where you've reset. So let's

(40:49):
say Gimbie wanted to reset his book motorcycle accident the
moment he and let's just say he would have died,
but they reset, he lives, but the day it happened,
he gets the memory of him that happening, and it
spirals like why am I alive? And all these other things,
and people end up killing themselves because they can't just
can't handle all that. Yeah, when you can't mess with

(41:12):
the time man, it does not work out. Somebody does
not like it. And they even create a government agency
to go back and fix problems. Okay, so hypothetic. Like
a school shooting, they go back and kill the person
on the way into the school a little. This guy's

(41:33):
been raping people into town and they go back and
get him right as he's about to go in through
a window, and they debate whether do they just take
him away and kill him or do they leave him
there as evidence to show that they got the person.
And suspicions like who's this person killing all these people?
And it's a mind trip. This book is sounds like

(41:55):
it can make for a very interesting movie. I think
it could be a TV show for multiple seasons. Okay,
like five or six seasons. I hate that sounds interesting. Yeah,
they did it with one of his other books and
it sucks. Right. The book's awesome, but they made a
TV show out of it and it's horrible. Which one

(42:17):
it's uh Dark Matter? Oh yeah on Apple TV.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
It could not get in.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
It is not good. The book is phenomenal, but the
the TV show is straight up steaming pile of dung
on one hundred degree day, like it's so bad. All right, listen,
we got tickets to Rockaholmer. We're gonna give away. We'll
be seeing what gimpee has in his four x four. Well,
Colvin says.

Speaker 6 (42:40):
Here the European leaders to Jewin Zelenski at the White
House meeting.

Speaker 1 (42:45):
The office is for.

Speaker 6 (42:47):
German Chancellor Fredickers, European Commission President Ursula von Lulian, and
British Prime Minister Keeter Stormer all confirmed that they will
meet with President Trump to go over America's new approach
to ending the conflict. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said
that an agreement to end the conflict would have to

(43:08):
include some security measures for Ukraine.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
What else we got here?

Speaker 6 (43:13):
US State Department halts visitor visas for Gozzens. On Saturday,
the Department announced that it was conducting quote a full
and thorough review of the visa a process specifically for
people seeking temporary medical visas. The State Department has allowed
a small number of Gozens to travel to the US
for medical attention since the Israel Hamas War began. A

(43:37):
Saturday's announcement came not long after conservative activist and ally
who President Trump. Laura Lumer criticized the program on a
post on X says here that planets aligned in year's
last celestial parade. Celestial Parade, six planets will be visible
in the sky through Wednesday, and all you've got to

(43:58):
do is look up. Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and
Uranus are aligned and can be seen about forty five
minutes before sunset. Some will be visible to the Negataie,
but binoculars or a telescope will be needed for Neptune
and Uranus.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
Do you go out there, you're a star nerd. Do
you out there and look at the parade? Yeah, it's
in there in the morning. I mean when we come in,
it's still. They're pretty. It looks like almost a perfect line.
That's interesting. Lastly, here Metrolink Tulsa to hold a public
meeting on service changes. Metrolink Tulsa announced that service changes
are coming later this month as part of an effort

(44:38):
to improve reliability, access, and overall writer experience.

Speaker 6 (44:44):
They're going to share the details with passengers. Metrolink will
host a series of public meetings today on Denver Avenue
station from four to five, and then Tuesday and Wednesday.
Additional meeting scheduled times and locations will be announced. Official

Speaker 7 (45:54):
There?

Speaker 1 (45:54):
You doing? I'm good. It says here that you've been
married for eight years. I always love to start with
how did you meet your wife?

Speaker 7 (46:04):
Well? I met her in a liquor store, if you
really want to know the truth.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
Okay, was she working there or also a patron?

Speaker 7 (46:13):
Oh? No, no, she was working there. I had just
got a new German shepherd, pulp, and I cared her
in there with me, and then she took her and
that's how we met.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
Poppies man works every time. Yeah, so I'm telling you right,
did you use that the dog as the hey?

Speaker 7 (46:31):
Uh? Well, after she took Sadie, which is my dog's name,
and started, you know, petner and everything, I looked at
her and I was like, man, she's pretty and I
wasn't talking about my dog either, So we kind of
got to talking on Facebook and then went out and
then about a year maybe a little bit over a
year and a half somewhere around there, and then we
got married.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
Did you strategically pick when to go to that liquor store?
So she wouldn't think you were an alcoholic.

Speaker 7 (46:58):
No, no, I just went over there to grab some
beer and she just happened to be working.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
Yeah. No, I wasn't saying you were an alcoholic. I
was just you don't want to give that impression if
to date.

Speaker 7 (47:10):
Oh yeah, no, no she was. She was working there,
so yeah it was. And I still drink beer to
this day, so it's all good.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
Right. And but she doesn't work at the liquor store anymore, right.

Speaker 7 (47:20):
Oh no, no, no, no, not at all. No, that
was just a part time gig for her at that
point in time in her life.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
Did she give you any discounts on liquor?

Speaker 7 (47:29):
No, or I don't drink liquor anymore so even then though, No,
she never gave me any kind of discount.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
But you drink beer? Oh yeah, Why did you give
up liquor?

Speaker 7 (47:42):
Uh? Well, a lot of issues, mainly because it made
me really, really really angry, and I didn't know when
when when to stop?

Speaker 1 (47:53):
Okay, And yeah, go ahead, oh I.

Speaker 7 (47:58):
Was gonna say, and beer, you know, it's more filling,
so you know, start to get that little bloating sensation
and you're just like, I need to stop.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
Okay, thing. Yeah, it says you were in the army
for twenty two years. Tell me what you did.

Speaker 7 (48:15):
I did two things. I was a communications specialist and
then I was my secondary MOS was the nineteen Delta
cap scout.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
And how many tours did you do?

Speaker 7 (48:25):
I've done fifty months in country all together, to to
Iraq in Afghanistan, and then I did a tour over
in Korea and then everything else was state side.

Speaker 1 (48:37):
When you decided to stop drinking liquor, did any of
all the stuff that you where your mind still is at,
did that play a part on why you needed to stop?

Speaker 7 (48:51):
Well, that's very Some of the stuff that I went
through is the reason why I started. And then yeah,
and it bothered me for a really long time, and
it still bothers me from time to time. But yeah,
I realized that I wasn't doing anything, But first off,
I wouldn't be able to You're always accountable for your actions, right,
no matter what you're doing or what the state of

(49:11):
mind you're in. So if i'm that, you know, out
of it, I'm still reliable for what I've done, whether
I realized I did it or not. Yeah, that had
That's the way I looked at it from one point
of view, and it's like, I got to do something different.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
Yeah, I think a lot of guys who mentally are
still there don't have that clarity. What do you equate
that clarity to?

Speaker 7 (49:34):
Uh, well, sitting around one night this is why in
the rain, reason why you called. But we were sitting
around one night in the barracks and after a second deployment,
so this would have been the second deployment to Iraq,
and we're all sitting there when we're drinking, and this
one NCO looked over at me and he goes, hey, man,

(49:56):
he goes, you know what really calls me? And I
was like, what, you know, we're pretty lit this time.
I put together puzzles. And I was like what, He's like, Yeah,
I put together puzzles. I said, it just kind of
keeps me mellow, keeps me on the level, you know.
And I was like, okay, thinking this guy's you know,
out of his mind. But anyway, a couple of days later,

(50:17):
I got to thinking, you know what, I wonder if
I can put a puzzle together, and so I decided
to go to the store and get a puzzle. But
I didn't get a puzzle. I wound up getting a
lego and the very first Lego I got was an
excelling Fighter and I put that together. It took me
three maybe four hours. I put it together, and I

(50:38):
realized that I was breathing normal, I wasn't jittering, so
I thought, maybe that's what you know. So I calmed down,
realized it was legos that were helping me. And then
ever since then, I've just become not an alcoholic, but
I guess you could call it a lego haulic. So
I collect legos and it helps me keep my wits

(51:01):
in my mind about me.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
That's impressive, man. I mean when you say, you know
when you start, I'm glad we worked it in that
way rather than so you're a lego addict, like we
built some context.

Speaker 7 (51:12):
I kind of figured that's where you were going.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
So yeah, because when you started doing legos, you know,
here you are somebody who's seen all types of nastiness
in the world, and you're like, yeah, but I love legos.
Those two usually don't go together.

Speaker 7 (51:30):
No, No, you're right, they don't, but I do. And
I'm I'm a fifty two year old kid, and I
guess I'm living my second childhood from time to time.
But I love legos. Like I said, I collect them.
I've got I've got really expensive legos. I got a
nice a lot of you know, a little bit of
money put into them. And I'm also a huge Star

(51:51):
Wars nerd so I collect the Star Wars manor Rebelia
as well.

Speaker 1 (51:54):
So do you put them together and then keep them
together or do you take them apart and start again?

Speaker 3 (52:00):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (52:01):
Well, I have taken one apart four times, so usually
I put them together, put them on a shelf, or
I'll put them behind acrylic display case, depending on how
much they cost. But the one that had to build
four times was the Ultimate Collector series of the Millennium Falcon,
and it has over seventy five hundred pieces in it.
And so I would start putting that thing together, and

(52:22):
then when you'd move it to put it on a shelf,
it's fall apart. So yeah, I put a little bit
of glue on the base of it, and now it's
underneath an acrylic display case where no one can touch it.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
Is that your most prized lego set?

Speaker 7 (52:37):
No? No, My most prized one is the Desk Star
that I got off of eBay. It's just because that
is really really hard to Well, it's not hard to
find if you go on eBay, but I mean if
you go anywhere else and you're trying to find one,
it's a little difficult. And then they want outrageous amounts.
So I paid for mine off of eBay eleven dollars,

(52:58):
and there are I goes out there that are a
whole lot more than that. Like, that's the most expensive one.
I was telling Gimpy is the Betrayal at Cloud City
and it's over seven grand.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
Wow, And would you love to get that?

Speaker 7 (53:12):
I would, But I'm not spending seven grand for it?

Speaker 1 (53:14):
No, Yeah, yeah, because there probably was a time you
weren't going to spend eleven hundred on one.

Speaker 7 (53:20):
Well you're right, there wasn't. But I mean, honestly, like
I told Gimpy, if I'm going to spend seven thousand dollars,
I'm gonna buy a car. I mean, that's it, sure,
I mean, that's that's exactly what it is. And then
you know, that's not even the most expensive lego that
I've I've run across. There's one for thirty four thousand
dollars and there's a limited release of like four hundred

(53:41):
and it's in Britain and it's like the tramp, so
like a trolley.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
When you like, Lord, when you go to the mall,
are you like, hey, babe, we've got to go to
the Lego store?

Speaker 7 (53:52):
Yep? Absolutely absolutely every time, Ago and I always walk
out with something.

Speaker 1 (53:56):
No matter what. Every time.

Speaker 7 (53:58):
Huh yeah, as well as it well, I can't say
every time. There might have been one or two times
I didn't put Usually I'll go in there and see
what kind of Star Wars because you know, you get
the new releases from there, and if I don't have it,
then I'll buy it.

Speaker 1 (54:13):
My youngest really loves Legos and she just bought I
think it was a thousand piece one and it took
her four days to put it together. What's the longest
how many pieces was it? And what's the longest it
took you on to put one together?

Speaker 7 (54:28):
First time I put them together, that Millennium Falcon, it
was seventy five, Like I said, around seventy five hundred pieces.
I don't have another exact account, but it's somewhere around there,
and it took me in man hours, I would say
probably one hundred and two one hundred and three hours damn.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
And when you do it, do you like fully commit?
It's all you can do when you're not working.

Speaker 7 (54:49):
Oh well no, no, I still you know, I'm still
a man. I still have a family, So I usually
I'm doing that stuff when we don't have plans or
you know, late at night, not late at night, but
like seven or eight o'clock at night if we're home.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
Okay, well that's a that's a healthy addiction. Usually an addiction.
You're jeopardizing time and you know, I'm sick to put
it together and things like that.

Speaker 7 (55:11):
No, no, no, nothing comes between me and my family,
even Legos. But uh yeah, family's obviously going to be
more important than the Lego.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
Does the does Lego? Or have you ever tried to
contact the Lego corporation about vets and how it eased
your mind? And maybe there is a Lego vets program?

Speaker 7 (55:34):
I have not, and honestly I don't. I don't know
if there is. I don't know anything about it. You know,
It's just I don't know.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
Do you talk to guys from your unit?

Speaker 7 (55:44):
Still I have on occasion. It's not like we keep
up together, you know, but yeah, we like on Facebook
stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
Or do you talk to other vets and like, hey man,
you might think about putting together a millennium falcon.

Speaker 7 (55:59):
No, I don't. There's not a I don't really have
too many vets that I know of that are out
here with me, so I don't. However, I will tell
you this much. I would love to get together. And
you know, if somebody is a VET or whatever and
has the same interest as I do, I wouldn't mind,
you know, talking to them.

Speaker 1 (56:19):
You get together and play legos together?

Speaker 7 (56:22):
Yeah, play legos? Or how about how about how about
construct legos?

Speaker 1 (56:27):
Yeah, maybe guys can have a little sleepover. Maybe your
wife can make some pigs and blankets.

Speaker 7 (56:33):
There you go, there you go, and some hot chocolate.

Speaker 1 (56:36):
Yeah, but I just don't stand light.

Speaker 7 (56:38):
Yeah, that's it. That's it. Yeah, gonna go to sleep
in our in our in our woobies in our sleeping.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
Bag would be a great Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 7 (56:48):
That's a great idea. I appreciate that. That's something I
might look into.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
Do you have kids? You said nothing comes between you
and your family? Do you have kids?

Speaker 4 (56:56):
I do.

Speaker 7 (56:57):

Wars and we're gonna make Lightsabers and Androids and we did.
And then I bought because Darth Vader is my favorite character,

What a door? Yeah, it's awesome, it's awesome. Yeah, did
you Gluci?

Speaker 7 (58:29):
Is not math true?

Speaker 1 (58:30):
That man? It's one of my favorite counter arguments when
someone's like, yo, you're a Doric, I'm like, yeah, it ain't.

Speaker 7 (58:34):
Math Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
So when you went the first time, how nervous and
excited were you to go and see the exhibit and
ride the rides and get your picture taken with the
Stormtroopers and all that.

Speaker 7 (58:49):
Yeah, Oh it was awesome. I didn't get any pictures
made with them, but yeah, it was. It was awesome.
The Millennium Falcon ride was great. Uh, you know, actual
setup of that area was great as well. They had
interactive like like droids and all that, and they obviously

(59:10):
they had their cosplay. A few ill individuals who were
you know, Star Wars actors, if that's what you want
to call them, just walking around, but there was no
There was no Stormtroopers. I didn't. I got to see
R two D two sorts, but I mean that was
remote controlled, I'm sure, but nothing more than that.

Speaker 1 (59:31):
Did Have you ever dressed up as Darth Vader?

Speaker 7 (59:36):
I have?

Speaker 1 (59:37):
Do you own a Darth Vader outfit.

Speaker 7 (59:41):
I own a Darth Vader, actually owned Darth Vader helmet,
three of his lightsabers, and I'm saving up for the
the ultimate Darth Vader from a costume shop out in
LA that I really want, so how much I don't
have it? It's eighteen dollars. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:04):
So when it comes to sexy time with you and
your wife, do you ever put on the Darth Vader
mask and be like, no, no, whatever, you ever done
the job of the hut princess laughing?

Speaker 7 (01:00:15):
That would be awesome? You know what? I had did
tell her that a couple of years ago. It's like,
we should get you this princess leyoutre No, okay.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
Right, that's a little too close, man, that's a little

Speaker 7 (01:00:28):
Yeah, but she'd look good and it, trust.

Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
Me, I'm sure she would, man, I'm sure she would. Listen, Richard,
it's been awesome talking to you, man. I gotta be honest.
You're really inspiring guy to overcome all those things and
and try to live your life with the mental load
you carry. It's it's impressive to hear you sound happy,
sounds like you've got a great life. Man, thank you

(01:00:49):
so much for talking with us for a few minutes.

Speaker 7 (01:00:52):
Oh, you're welcome. But I'll tell you what, it's just
not the legos that's done it.

Speaker 4 (01:00:56):
Man.

Speaker 7 (01:00:56):
That my wife, she's the bigger part of it. The
legos just help a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
So do you have anything you'd like to say to
bets that might be listening that maybe they're struggling or
still trying to come home?

Speaker 7 (01:01:08):
Absolutely? Absolutely, Hey, twenty two a day is just way,
way too much. Hell, one of day is too much.
Reach Out to anybody, it doesn't matter who they are.
Reach out your valuable, valuable asset. And that's pretty much it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:24):
Listen, Richard, I enjoyed talking with you. Man, you have
a fantastic day. Friend. All right, YouTube, right, buddy, see
you later. That's our listeners are awesome. That's Richard. We'll
take a break and we'll be back to sen you
guys a link. There is a fantastic video of the
and I'm not lying, this is a thing the robot Olympics.
And this is where a bunch of countries get together

(01:01:48):
and have their robots compete against each other. Couple things
when you see the video, one the not fit people
having to do like run alongside the robots because they
are controlled. They are not autonomous right yet. And the
other part is the robots don't do well, No, they don't.

(01:02:12):
I think my favorite one is the soccer one where
they're kind of marching in place and falling over each
other and they got to wait for their owners masters,
I don't know, help each other up.

Speaker 2 (01:02:25):
It's like watching toddlers.

Speaker 1 (01:02:27):
It's worse. It's worse the toddlers. You go, well, I
don't know any better. These are controlled by people. They
do not have it figured out, and you can go
yet all you want, but we keeps they've been remote
controlled for a long time. We're teaching them too much.

Speaker 6 (01:02:46):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:02:47):
The best one is there's another good one when one
of the robots goes to a leg kick in like
a tie tie boxing match, and it kicks and then
can't control itself and falls on its face. But watching
the people run is awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
I love that in the kicking in the ring they
have a referee, a human referee in there.

Speaker 1 (01:03:15):
I saw that and I was like, what are you
gonna do? Push them apart?

Speaker 6 (01:03:19):
I get out of control, man, next thing you know,
It's just it's a bloodbath.

Speaker 1 (01:03:22):
Shouldn't you be telling them like the people with the controllers.
It's five hundred robots, sixteen nations, Japan, United States, Germany,
twenty six events. There's a fifteen hundred meter race where
one robot was disqualified when its head detached mid stride.

Speaker 6 (01:03:46):
Yeah, there was one in the video you said where
it only had one arm. I guess this sort of thing.

Speaker 1 (01:03:52):
Is going to happen. Another incident occurred during a soccer
match when a robot tripped, causing multiple mechanical players to fall,
when then the humans had to get involved. There was kickboxing,
track soccer, dance, dance. Yeah, I want to know who won.

Speaker 6 (01:04:20):
Yeah, I'm trying to find a website for this particular
thing and I'm not finding anything anywhere.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
And is there is there a metal count?

Speaker 7 (01:04:29):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:04:30):
How do we do America?

Speaker 2 (01:04:33):
Yeah? It was the the Irish street dancer. Who was that? Oh,
I have no idea the one that went.

Speaker 1 (01:04:43):
Viral, Well that was breakdancing and that was Australia. Oh yeah, Yeah.
There's another video of a robot running and they're all
different sizes and the robot runs off the track like
can't because it's controlled by humans. Well, you would think
the human would keep it. I don't know on the

(01:05:05):
track ever tried to control a drone like you think
you got it and then it goes all over the place.
I would think they Pratt would practice. Yeah. The winner
of the gold medal of the World Humanoid Robot Game
set a world record in the fifteen hundred of six

(01:05:28):
minutes and thirty four seconds. The men's record is three
minutes and twenty six seconds. Just so we're clear. So
even though they don't have it figured out, and they
will eventually, they're still not fast enough. Right, I want
the medal count man.

Speaker 6 (01:05:46):
It says here that concluded with Unitary Robotics and ex
Humanoid as the top medal winners. Unitrees h one robot
achieved notable success, particularly in the track and field events
like four hundred meter dash, fifteen hundred meter dash, and
the one hundred meter hurdles.

Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
Oh god, I gotta watch that one. And then uh yeah.
Ex Humanoid excelled in the one hundred meter erase and
novel materials Novel materials handling. I want you to watch
the video I just sent. Okay, they're demonstrating how a
robot can get up and spoiler it can't and then

(01:06:28):
throws a giant temper tantrum that is so good. You
just start like a fish out of water. Many been there, man,
And they're trying to restrain it, which is wild. That's funny.
Oh why are robot videos like this so fun to watch?

Speaker 6 (01:06:52):
I'm okay with robots, and they, you know, as long
as they're with this, you know, intention to make us
laugh for entertainment. It's when they start taking control. Dad,
damn this one robot Unitary H one and two Robotic
C one hundred and twenty eight thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):
You can purchase that for Wow, that's ridiculous.

Speaker 6 (01:07:12):
However, I think I'm interested if I had just money
to blow.

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
The fact that there's people at this is just amazing
to me. I'm sending you another one where you can
see them dancing.

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
Yeah, that's wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:07:29):
What's It's near the end of this video that I'm
sending you, But it's just dancing and people are like
watching it like this is a good this is a
good time. Why that one?

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
I didn't have anything better to do on a Saturday?

Speaker 1 (01:07:45):
What the hell? Yeah? What the hell am I watching?
It's amazing? Do the robot you gotta do the robot
if you're a come on man, gotta go to the
old dad vault cleaning the airs.

Speaker 6 (01:08:01):
Yes, it's start lawnmower rolling dice, but a robot dancing
should do the robot.

Speaker 1 (01:08:07):
Yeah, it's so bad, it's so bad, it's worth it.
It's worth a watch. All right, We got to take
a break. We'll be back. So a local TV station
broke a story about softball eligibility in the World Softball Sorry,
the Little League Softball World Series, and the concerns have

(01:08:31):
been that the eligibility is not clear enough. Now, Tulsa
was in it and they placed third, which is awesome,
but some people are saying that there are people that
were from not the area on the Oklahoma team, the Ringers. Now,

(01:08:59):
I remember being younger and we would have like an
AAU basketball team in Iowa and they would travel around
and play. And the team in our town are that
represented our town? Like one person was from our town? Right?

Speaker 2 (01:09:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
That that's not a new thing. That doesn't feel like
a new thing. No, And I mean hell, Lindsay and
I have talked about high school football and the number
of players that are brought to town to play on
a team, right, just so they can beef up the team.
A lot of high schools do it. Yeah, so I

(01:09:43):
don't understand the Also there's this who cares?

Speaker 7 (01:09:48):
Right?

Speaker 6 (01:09:49):
Is this becoming a thing because somebody's kid didn't get
to play and they're like, oh, well, look at Dominic
over there, he's not even from this area.

Speaker 1 (01:09:59):
You know what it is. It's that they didn't win.
That's gotta be the guest. I doubt someone who made
it all the way is like, well.

Speaker 6 (01:10:08):
Right, because they're not going to say anything if they win.
In yeah, it makes sense. Can't believe Oklahoma won. Let's
check and make sure all their players are from subtle down.

Speaker 1 (01:10:19):
This one's from Utah. Knew it. Cheaters And these are
just allegations. I have no idea if any of it's true,
but the allegations are out there, and if you go
down the rabbit hole sometimes, and I think this has
earned Softball parents are kind of crazy. I think all

(01:10:40):
sports parents, I hear you, but softball parents they're worse
than baseball parents. Oh yeah, and I think they both
earned the right. The amount of traveling you have to
do for either one of those sports. Please know I
do not want to have to be traveling every weekend

(01:11:04):
for that sport.

Speaker 6 (01:11:05):
One of your kids was like interested in this and
traveling softball? Yeah, would you do it to like just
not almost say discourage them, but just kind of get
them into something.

Speaker 1 (01:11:16):
Absolutely, not absolutely, I'm the opposite. When you show any interest,
I'm I'm all in, Like, let's go, even if it
requires you to travel everywhere, sure time. Sure. Sure. I'm
not saying my parents weren't supportive, but they weren't like, hey,
I'm all in right. They let me do whatever I wanted,

(01:11:38):
and they were supportive of that, but it was up
to me. I wasn't pushed to do football camps. I
chose to do football camps. And I'm not saying that's
good or bad either way. So when my kids are
into it, I want to show them I'm into it
with you. And if you want to go to I'll
find the best coach, I'll find if you want, I'll

(01:11:59):
do the things. So if my kids were into it,
I'm hell yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:12:04):
It's crazy to watch some of those kids play in
the least Little League World Series or whatever. I'm just like,
you're like, what ten ten years old and just a
beast at what they do, don't get me wrong, But
aren't we also robbing them of their childhood at the
same time when we're no kind of pushing them so
hard to be the best little league player ever.

Speaker 1 (01:12:24):
No, I mean, they're maybe getting robbed of your childhood,
but they're definitely having a childhood. Their childhood is encompassed
in baseball, right, And maybe their parents are pushing them,
maybe they aren't. They showed this great video this morning
of the Little League Baseball World Series and they played
a Major League Baseball game in the park where the

(01:12:44):
Little League World Series is happening, and all the teams
that are playing are there watching and they get to
that is spectacular. And I didn't know this. They have
this tradition of where the Little League World Series is
and they have this hill you slide down with boxes
or something I don't know, and some of the Major
League Baseball players doing that with the kids that is

(01:13:04):
under You don't do that in football, right, right. I
don't know if they do that in soccer, but you
don't do it in football. I don't think you do
it in basketball, right, But to do that with that's
pretty cool. That's really cool. So I don't think they're
getting ropped. They mean the idea. I saw a video
and the person was like, these kids in Indiana are

(01:13:28):
documenting on their social media. They're out in the woods
doing whatever, and you know, people gollie g in it, like,
look at these kids having my summer, right, the summer
you had because there wasn't video games, there wasn't social media,
there wasn't The summer program we had at my school
was from seven am to ten am in the summer

(01:13:52):
and it was this wooden box where we played hockey.
We may have made a craft and gotta soda and
that way. It Yeah, really just being babysat. Yeah, and
now you can go all day to school stuff that
the school puts on or other entities. So to me,
it is this summer you had, right. And when they

(01:14:14):
were highlighting these kids of like out in the woods
and they're like, golly gee, this is awesome. Look at
them having this great summer summer. I remember as a kid. Sure, sure,
we don't let our kids go out and play kick
the can anymore. We don't let our kids go down
the street where we can't see them. I don't know,
because of kid napping. That doesn't really happen. Hey, you

(01:14:36):
never know. So I'm just of the mindset where I
don't think they're having a different experience. It may not
be yours, but they're definitely having a childhood. Well, let's
ask the children what they think about it. I mean,
what are they gonna say. They're gonna look to their parents.

Speaker 6 (01:14:52):
Right, my dad's an asshole and pushes me way too
hard on this thing. I don't even want to be
here right now.

Speaker 1 (01:14:55):
Right. That's usually a revelation you have when later through
years of yeah you're not you can't figure out why
you're such an asshole to everyone, right right? Uh? Yeah,
it was literally mm that explains a lot. Yeah, what
do you Yeah? I mean my dad would make me
swing the bat in the gree had mentioned before that
he was thinking maybe in the future him and his

(01:15:16):
friends might take a cruise. Yeah, there is one article
of clothing that is banned on cruise ships. I didn't
know this. What do you think it is an article
of clothing? Correct?

Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
People get dressed up all the time on cruise ships.

Speaker 1 (01:15:35):
They also don't, by the way, right right, don't they
like a lot of them have that one that won
fancy nights like this is the one night that you
have to get dressed to the nines four. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:15:44):
I mean I see pictures of them.

Speaker 1 (01:15:47):
I mean I've seen in movies. Of course, we didn't
have that when we went on the cruise. There was
no like suit and tie requirement or anything like that
or gown. Some people like, I war slacks and a
button down. I think they require you to wear pants
and a button down to dinner at least pants, just
not shorts, right.

Speaker 7 (01:16:06):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:16:06):
Top hat?

Speaker 1 (01:16:08):
Okay, why I have no idea? Well, you've guessed it.
I thought you might have a reason.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
Maybe it's because employees wear those like in the in
the in the fine dining ballrooms, and they don't want
you to look like mistaken New Carnival. Right.

Speaker 1 (01:16:25):
You know it's twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
Five, right, I've never been on a cruise.

Speaker 1 (01:16:29):
So clearly idea. Clearly you've only watched Titanic, which, by
the way, they're not wearing top hats serving people food.
Don't wear a top hat. You might be confused with
a server. It sucks because every time they lean over
to give you a roll, the hat plops in the soup.

(01:16:52):
What do you think, GIMPI definitely not right. Thong bikinis
would make sense. Okay, why because you're showing.

Speaker 6 (01:17:02):
Yes, you know, there's a lot of people at least
I've been seeing a lot lately on social media and
whatnots that just out on beaches.

Speaker 1 (01:17:09):
You know, girls wearing their thongs and Karen's getting angry
about it. Cover your rash burger. So I figured that
might still apply on a on a boat. Uh no,
it is not that now. On the Disney cruise, I
don't remember seeing anybody in the thong, but there's a
lot of kids. So if I'm being honest, I wasn't

(01:17:33):
checking everybody out. Uh no, So one more gas, lindsay.

Speaker 2 (01:17:37):
High heel shoes or like stilettos. Maybe they don't want
them wrecking the the ship's deck.

Speaker 1 (01:17:45):
I don't know deck. Okay, that's not it, GIMPI well,
I at least from what I've seen on the old
Tiktoks that I know, Carnival has really cracked down on
the use of like fans, those hand fans like you
see you in the Asian Ladies and the movies. You know, yeah,

(01:18:07):
why because they'd be into rowdy with them. And boots
is another one. There's songs like Boots on the Ground
or Boots on the Floor something like it. Okay, so
they're all stomping and they're clacking the fans, and it's
been disturbing a lot.

Speaker 6 (01:18:23):
Of the the fuddy duddies, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:18:26):
Peace.

Speaker 6 (01:18:27):
So they're like, all right, no more fans and no
more boots. We don't need you clacking and clomping all
over this place.

Speaker 1 (01:18:34):
Maybe true for a certain cruise line, but that's not
overall band clothing item on cruise ships. And when I
saw what it was, I was kind of confused, But
when I found out why, it made sense to me
kind of, Uh, camo, you're not allowed to have camo
on a cruise ship. And he guess why, because they

(01:18:57):
can't see you. They're hard to find. There's a lot
of jungle on a cruise ship.

Speaker 2 (01:19:05):
It scares the guests.

Speaker 1 (01:19:07):
Nope, because they don't like the color green. Nope. Apparently
in even Caribbean countries it is. They consider it a
military uniform and it's like impersonating a military person, which

(01:19:27):
they consider a fine. You would get a fine and
you would get your item confiscated. So apparently they that
is a banned item on cruise ships. It's not just
Caribbean countries. It's a lot of countries. So to save
the problem, they go ahead and just say hey, no Azerbaijan, Antigua,

(01:19:52):
the Bahamas, Barbados, Dominican, Ghana, Grenada, Jamaica, Nigeria, Oman, the Philippines,
Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Saudi Arabia, Trinidad, Tabango, you've gone
to your Zimbabwe and Zambia are all countries that it
is illegal for civilians to wear camouflage and to avoid

(01:20:13):
any problems, I don't know if they now, I know
they they don't. You leave your luggage and then you
don't see it for hours, so maybe they go through it.
I know the X ray it of course, right but
before you get on the ship. But I don't know
if they go through it. Maybe if they see some
on the X ray, don't. I don't know how they
find the camo. Maybe they see someone like hey yo

(01:20:35):
yo yo, right, you got to you floating head. We
needed to cut it out.

Speaker 6 (01:20:42):
I got a pair of camo shorts that I like
to wear, and I don't. I don't see a lot
of military personnel wearing shorts, but I guess I could
be confused.

Speaker 1 (01:20:56):
I've taken my top head on every cruise we've been on.
It's never been an issue. It's a big hit with
mister and missus Archibald and Margaret white Bottom. Seriously, a
top hat. Do you have a lot of friends that
have top hats?

Speaker 2 (01:21:14):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:21:14):
No, Gimpy, do you have any friends that have a
top hat?

Speaker 6 (01:21:18):
Not that I know of, but I wouldn't put it
past at least my friends anyway, one of them to
have a top hat.

Speaker 1 (01:21:25):
Not since they stopped doing the MC work at a circus.

Speaker 2 (01:21:29):
Right, Listen, we brought up top hat earlier on this morning,
and it stuck with me.

Speaker 1 (01:21:35):
Okay, we did What did we bring it up for?

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
When we were talking about gesters?

Speaker 1 (01:21:39):
Oh yeah, different kinds of weird hats. That's what stuck
with you all day?

Speaker 2 (01:21:44):
Huh, I guess what he said, Take a guess. It
was the first thing that came to me.

Speaker 1 (01:21:48):
Not a jester hat. No, no, doctor SEUs. We had
more time on dots, google hat.

Speaker 2 (01:21:54):
No, I was thinking of slash. Okay, that's really what
stuck with me.

Speaker 1 (01:22:00):
Whatever defense you come up with is not gonna work.
Whatever lie you're spewing, all right, we got to take
a break, we'll be back. Tell Us more
