It is Josh Holiday Live. I am Josh Holiday. And
Burt is here.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Oh yes, yes, indeed, hey, Burt, what else are we
gonna do.

Speaker 5 (00:54):
On a Saturday morning? The only other option probably would
be like sleeping in. But you know, we got it.
We have we have chores, the chore of making this
show radio radio everybody. Uh, for you kids out there,
what radio is showball? Tell you the liberals what they're doing. Uh,

(01:18):
they're trying to it. It was a liberal conspiracy to shoot.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Trump, but they couldn't get him.

Speaker 5 (01:27):
God only God, the Lord and our Lord and save.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (01:32):
We were off for a week and uh man, a
lot of stuff happened.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah. There was almost no news, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
Almost zero. It was one of those dead periods in
the summer where nothing really happens.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
It's like I can't handle it. It's coming so fast.

Speaker 5 (01:47):
Yeah, it's crazy. Uh uh Yeah. Like the running mate
was announced that the evil jd Vance.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
I'm glad you said it.

Speaker 5 (01:57):
Why you don't think he's evil?

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Oh? He is. I just don't be the one to
say it. Yeah. No, worse than Trump.

Speaker 5 (02:05):
Yeah, well, because he's he's like, he's smart evil not
kind of.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Like heah, he's got that Peter Teele connection of well
we're gonna just be fascist now.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
Yeah. Essentially he was the choice of both the Project
twenty twenty five religious nutbags.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yeah that guy.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
Yeah, and also of all the tech billionaires. So you know,
he's working for evil and not for good. He's working
for billionaires and not everyday people, right, which you know
is kind of we expected that of any candidate, but
he's of all the candidates, he's the one who is
probably the most dangerous.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Does he wear eyeliner?

Speaker 5 (02:46):
I mean it feels like it.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Or does he just have but he's doing it every
day since forever.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
Yeah, I don't know. Maybe it's just like he has
a natural like my dog. My dog has thick lashes
that are so thick that the lashes but he has
it looks almost like he's wearing an eyeliner. Oh it's
speaking of Uh did you see Matt Gates is uh
a surgery?

Speaker 3 (03:08):
I did my Gates tried to talk smacked to Kevin McCarthy.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
Oh no, no, but did you see like his.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
As to how he looked like.

Speaker 5 (03:17):
His eyes all bull It is really really terrible.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
I mean, what is I don't understand. I don't even
get plastic surgery is such a crapshoot. Yeah, even botox
injections are you know, uncharted waters really for your face.

Speaker 5 (03:32):
But it almost it does almost look like he uh
it almost looks like he had more than that done.
Like it looks like he has stuff pulled back. But anyway, whatever,
I live for something. Yeah, he needs that to appeal
to Yeah how he does. He wants to look less
uh old because he is old, and he appeals to
the young ladies, so we hear. But yeah, well they

(03:56):
appeal to him, and money appeals to them. I guess.
So yeah, and then uh, well, yeah that Trump was
was shot at by some shot dumb kid.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Apparently was one to go out in the blaze a
glory and was googling everybody who was going to have
a public appearance within how many hundred miles of his house?

Speaker 5 (04:18):
Well, and then then there's the whole thing, like you
saw the pictures. The very next day, after an assassin
assassination attempt, Trump's on the golf course golfing away. The
first person to call the person who was killed at
his rally of of of note was Biden. And when
he was on the golf course, lots of pictures taken, nothing,

(04:40):
nothing unusual about his ear. And then later later that night,
bandaged giant cotex on there.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
A Trump snow job. Do you think this is true?

Speaker 5 (04:50):
I'm not gonna I'm not going to dive down into
the conspiracy holes. There's a lot of like weird, suspicious things,
but certainly the band aid thing is ridiculous because you know,
there wasn't anything really the next.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
To me when he winced, he looked hurt, like he
looked like he had been caught off guard. Yeah, and
he didn't know what was happening, No, at first, and
then he ducks down and then we go to the
RNC and he gives us a moment by moment recap.

Speaker 5 (05:20):
That takes his version, his version of events.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Ten minutes for him to talk about, which we've all
been running in on a loop basically.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
Yeah, well and that was only like like that was
maybe fifteen twenty minutes of like a ninety minute ramble.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Like how it was brutal. I haven't even gotten all
the way through it, you know.

Speaker 5 (05:40):
I I saw bits and pieces, but like, I'm not Gonda.
I can't sit through that right right, I don't have
time for that. So yeah, that's that. I was off
last week. Oh look at you have a guess. Sorry
you can't see this, audience, but there's a giant cat
on a giant cat on your lap, look in my lap.

(06:01):
You almost look like a villain. Now, whenever someone hasn't
on their lap and it's petting his head, it's a dude.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Any dude with a cat around is a subject to
be villain us.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
Yes, especially if it's on your lap and you're kind
of rubbing its head.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
That's what I'm not supposed to do. You can't amper cuddles.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
I understand. I have a dog who is very similar
to that. Yeah, so we were off last week. My
sister and her nephew were in a town. It was
a crazy week. It was fun. She was supposed to
come with her whole family, like like her and her
two sons and her dad or her dad their dad.

(06:39):
But somehow, like one of the sons is having a
little trouble and he decided he wasn't going to come,
and so the father had to stay home. So it
was half the family and we went to the Niagara Falls,
which you still haven't been to.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
No, yeah, I haven't been.

Speaker 5 (06:54):
Uh, it's it's hard to describe me. The area we
stayed in was in the main like staying carnival adjacent
because there's one street there called Cliff Clifton Hill, and
it's about a two blocks block and a half of
fun houses, fudge factories, haunted houses, mini golfs, all that,

(07:19):
all that stuff. It's basically a carnival. And it at
the foot of it is the fall, so you're right
kind of in the thick of it. There is another ah,
you know, since the early that's sort of the early days,
the Niagara Falls was built up right around that area.
And then there is another area that's more like built
up with casinos and fancy restaurants, but yeah, of course

(07:42):
everyone likes a casino.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
We stayed in a stay in a hotel, partially because
it came with with like a water park package. The
kids loved, although the it got used basically for about
four or five hours and I didn't go, but my
sister reported that my young nephew, who's like just turned thirteen,

(08:10):
he spent less time in the water park than playing
on a basketball court they had there, so has aly
he went to play the basketball for this basketball Yeah, yeah,
I know he liked it, But it just seems like
for all the trouble we went to get this water
park thing that could have gone to a local school
or something. And the hotel we were in is it's

(08:35):
been there for ages and ages, and I think they're
slowly doing a renovation, not so much renovation, but like
refacing and making nicer and redoing the rooms. I had
a what would be termed a newer like a newer
room room that's sort of been converted, had a nice
new wallpaper, you fancy, big TV and stuff. But the

(08:58):
one thing that they couldn't seem to get rid of
is that old. Like if you've ever been to someone's
house who's been a lifelong smoker, even if they've even
if they've quit for like ten years, the walls just
have it. So there's just that sort of like like
old cigarette smell, even though probably probably no one smoked,
because I mean, at least for ten years there's been

(09:20):
no smoking hotel rooms.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
I want to be able to like walk into the
I want because that's such a smell from the past
because it's so uncommon now. Even smokers often will just
not smoke in their house anymore because even see the degradation. Yeah,
but it's just like I want to walk into that
and smell and go, oh, yeah, I remember that, and
then walk out again and not stay there.

Speaker 5 (09:42):
Yeah. But and it was not like it's not like
a cigarette smell. It's kind of like just an old smell.
But you know, that was sort of the Yeah, so
they all the everything was like new wallpaper and beds
and stuff. Uh. And then it was a small like
I it was a small room, like I got king Bet.
I was staying in a different room king Be And
my view is like directly into like a multi level

(10:03):
parking lot in the top of the water park, and
the bathroom was tiny and in the when they went
to redo it. They have the vanity and right next
to it is the toilet, and it's too close. So
whenever every time I see yeah, even a small every
time I sat down on the toilet, banged my elbow

(10:25):
or my shoulder on the vanity because it's just like
it really is, like between the side of the toilet
seat in the vanity there's probably about three inches.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
So was there like a generous shower instead.

Speaker 5 (10:36):
Stand up shower? I I didn't even use it because
I went to the spa one day and had a
fancy steam and shower and stuff. Even and again, you
have never done a spa thing.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
I think I have a spot.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
Okay, you gotta treat yourself once in a while.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
I just didn't resonate with me, so I wasn't.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
But there's definitely a contrast because my sister had a
room across the hall. I didn't check out their bathroom situation,
but out their window, like directly across was the US
Falls and just if you look sideways you could see
the Canadian Falls, so they had a really great view.
And I had a parking lot and a stinky room,
and their room didn't smell so stinky, So there you go.

(11:21):
Niagara Falls is a tourist a very like touristy thing,
and with that comes it's usually expensive, like crazy expensive. Everything.
Everything is a little bit more expensive. What really caught
us off guard is and I had never been to
a rainforest cafe before. Huh have you been?

Speaker 3 (11:44):
No, that showed up about twenty years ago. Yeah, the
north of Dallas. That was. I was like, oh, okay,
looks like a gimmick, but it's probably not that great,
you know, no, thank.

Speaker 5 (11:57):
You, Yeah, you're right. So there you be one like
in a mall here, and I always avoided it, you know,
I would go and look at them.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
They kind of I think they had their moment.

Speaker 5 (12:06):
Yeah, well apparently, according to maybe their menu, this is
the last one in Canada. There might be some still
around summer. But because we were with my thirteen year
old nephew and because we were in nigrophas and like,
well we'll do you know something silly, right.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
That's about okay, here's probably about the peak age to
even attempt to enjoy that, the last vestige before it's
going to get no longer.

Speaker 5 (12:29):
I can.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
This isn't for me.

Speaker 5 (12:32):
Well, and when you go in there, I think most
most people haven't least seen it, but it's it's basically
designed like a jungle. So there's all kinds of leaves
and then bad, bad jerky animatronic animals where their heads
go and then they kind of snap into place in
their years.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
Yeah. Right, and then every once in a while there's
chuck e cheese.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
Yeah, every once in a while there's a strobe light
that goes off and sound of thunder.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
You're good and uh yeah.

Speaker 5 (12:59):
My main question was because there's all the like everywhere
you look, on the on the ceiling, all over it's
like fake plants, fake foliage. How Like, how do you
dust and clean that? Like it just seems like an
impossible task.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
They got a little brush on a vacuum somewhere. Yeah,
but then a person assigned to that task. That's part
of the sidework of a waiter somewhere.

Speaker 5 (13:21):
Yeah, So so we ate there. I had like a
chicken parm with some pasta. That was the past It
was so bland, it was it was. It was even
more bland than if it had just had a salty
butter on it.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
It would never be good. No, all the energy of
that business has been put into the the acuter mole.

Speaker 5 (13:42):
You know. Yeah, well, okay, now this is itch. So,
so my sister and I got a meal, I think
my nephew and I got some smoothies. She had a
like an alcoholic drink. He had chicken wings, like a
side or a chicken wing side order fries. My sister
had some tacos and those are the.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Drinks in Canada. Yeah, I mean just want me to
trip myself to get the little she had.

Speaker 5 (14:06):
So she had alcoholic drink, we had smoothies, and that
was the food and the total of the bill after
after like an eighteen percent tip or so was for
for two adults and a thirteen year old, not eating
like a full meal like in this Canadian dollars, but
about two hundred and twenty five whoa for that kind

(14:28):
for bad food and like just a basically a family restaurant.
Of course, it was like insanity, insane.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
Good luck Grainport Campe.

Speaker 5 (14:37):
I don't know, like once I probably, like in retrospect,
probably once we sat down and looked at the prices
on the menu, we should probably should have like stood
up and been like, yeah, I don't think so.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Not for me, I mean, I don't I mean there's
one thing, there's like kitch bad tourist food, and then
there's overpriced kitch bad tourist food. Yeah, it ran into both.

Speaker 5 (14:57):
Yeah. And the first night we went there, we went
to this in our hotel there's like a fancy Italian restaurant,
had really really good meal.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
And I think hotel restaurant was good.

Speaker 5 (15:08):
Well, it's it's like a they had it's part like,
I mean, it's open to other people than the hotels,
because yeah, sure it's it's a is it in it's
not even in Uh, it's in the hotel next to ours,
like the even fancier hotel, but it's on the fourteenth
floor with like giant windows on the falls, so you're
partially paying for the view. But I think even if

(15:28):
in that fancy like Italian restaurant, I think we probably
paid less than the than the crappy rainforest cafe. Yeah.
Lesson learned, Yeah, lesson learned. Uh, And everywhere was just
seemed over over the overpriced you know what restaurant. I
I don't think we have a lot of them in Canada,
but we went to and it wasn't actually too bad
that that would be considered sort of a family chain

(15:50):
is that Ruby Tuesdays? It was okay, Like all things considered,
it wasn't you know, it wasn't like to.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Think about it is like that's what you think the
first couple of time, okay, and then you keep going
back because my college town had one of those, and
we started going and by the time I was out
of college, I was like, which was only two and
a half years in this particular stop of my journey,
but yeah, I was like this, I'm done with this place.

Speaker 5 (16:15):
All right. Well that's after going a bunch of times,
like I just went. I was in Niagara Falls. I
had a crack, like I really.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
It was like that's not bad, and that's that's about right.

Speaker 5 (16:23):
Yeah, exactly was well, but better than an Applebee's or
like maybe in terms of those like like fairly generic
family chain.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Restaurants, I don't know, but I mean I feel like
there's hidden there must be hidden gyms at Applebee's that
keep them in business, but I'm not going there to
which one's good. The onion pedals were good. Onion pedals
onion peels. They would have a little little fried it
was like a bloomin onion on more accessible because they
were just like a little bit better dipped and cut.

Speaker 5 (16:54):
Well, yeah, the classic Australian dish that you always hear
Australians talking about is the exactly bloomin onion.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
But it's really the sauce. That's what you're there for.
Is that hollandais or whatever it is that they put
on there.

Speaker 5 (17:07):
Put it, Put another strip on the bobby and get
me one of them bloomin onions. Uh. I love go karting.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
Uhts are fun.

Speaker 5 (17:19):
You can't go wrong with it there. Last time I
went to ni Aga Falls, actually you can go well, yes,
especially if they have long hair and it gets caught
in the gears. But I don't have to worry about that.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
But there's also like when you go to the like
aggressive driver go cart track. You've ever been to one
of those?

Speaker 5 (17:32):
Well, I was just gonna say that. Last time I
went to Niagara Falls, we drove out of the main
area to this track where they had like like very fast,
like like fast cars. Uh. It was it was pretty fun,
but it was like really like really fast.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
I went in in high school. We started going go
karting and then we went to this place that I
don't even remember where it was somewhere in Dallas and
they or maybe in between the two cities, and it
was like this triangle track triangle, and those guys were
so aggressive. I mean I got bumped into the middle

(18:07):
tires like off the road more than once, not and
not like stacked up like the tires. There isn't much,
you know, it's just a very little hump and then
it's like you get bumped and then you're just in
it and then you're like, oh, I got I'm now
off this track. I gotta up. There's certain times where

(18:28):
it's like you've got you enter into a little subculture
of dudes who are into this and very hard. Yeah. Uh.

Speaker 5 (18:37):
The fast tracking went on, like I I want to
pass people, but the only way I could, like like
this is the one I went to the last time
we was like super fast is what would be You
would have to kind of like be aggressive to the
point where you might bump someone. So I just kind
of got stuck behind people. But it was still it
was still fast this time around because it's you know,
more family. They have guys kind of uh ding around

(19:00):
the tracks at certain points to make sure there's no
no bumping, and they have signs every no bumping, no bumping,
you may get kicked off the track, blah blah blah,
and my like, they weren't the fastest cards, so the
whole way basically I just have my footpressed down like
there's never any breaking or slowing.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
Down as you know, like you're like a full sized deal.

Speaker 5 (19:22):
Yeah, so I have that disadvantage. But I ended up
passing I think about seven people and no one passed me,
so that was my achievement. Didn't bump anybody. Yeah, so
that was I go carts. Oh in along with the
funhouses and CARNIVALI stuff, there's at least three wax museums

(19:46):
in Niagara Falls. Okay, there's a Louis Tussau, which you
know is two so yeah, yeah, nephew or uncle or something.
He's got the Tussau name and looking and like I
did look. I was curious. I looked under the trip
Advisor and the Google to sort of see, okay, which
wax museum sort of is and the two so one

(20:08):
was the It still wasn't greatly reviewed, but of the
of the bunch of ones there it was, it was higher.
But we ended up getting one of those those six
attraction passes, which actually ended up being worthwhile. They had
a really a pretty wicked mini golf dinosaur thing with
a real you know, giant volcano and dinad and so

(20:30):
that was fun. And they have this giant fair like
ferris wheel that that you can look over the fall.
So part of the part of our package though, was
admission to this movie land wax Museum.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 5 (20:46):
So it's all about characters from movies, and in some
cases they have like sort of they have the little scene,
like the background and the set looks like like the
scene from the movie. Now that it's important because at
this wax museum, if you just look at the faces
of these people, you probably wouldn't be able to sort

(21:08):
of sort out Okay, uh, what's who is that?

Speaker 3 (21:12):
Do you have to go? You have to look at
the scenario?

Speaker 5 (21:14):
Well, yeah, one of two things. One of two things.
They thankfully they had little signs at the bottom of
the wax figures that told you who it was all right,
because like almost all like if you go on my
uh on my Instagram in my face, but I know
you're you're on there, you'll see. Uh. It's just it's
just really really bad. I I I Yeah, it was.

(21:41):
It was crazily confusing, Like especially there's Tom Cruise.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
Yeah, I want to start a wax museum that just
says no Tom Cruise.

Speaker 5 (21:51):
Yeah. Well he was only one, but he looked like
Warren Beatty basically his face.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
I mean, it's wahms are just I don't even get it.

Speaker 5 (21:59):
And then there was another one. There was one that
I only guessed it was Adam Sandler because he was
swinging a golf club like a hockey stick. There you go, oh, okay,
that's supposed to be And they had a Jimmy fallon
little desk one and he looked very simium.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (22:14):
It was just not a good wax museum, and I
understand why. It was kind of a throw in.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
Sure, Uh it's in the air conditioning. That's a reliable
air condition scenario, wax se and they got to keep
those characters cold.

Speaker 5 (22:26):
Well you heard, you heard. I guess within last month
or so they made this. I think it was a
Lincoln wax figure at the monument.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Yes, yes, it was in DC and it melted.

Speaker 5 (22:35):
It was outdoors. Yeah, I know the thought process there,
but it melted. Uh, I stumbled it. I'm gonna I
stumbled across. I love David Attenborough, but I stumbled across
this clip of this bird that not all like wild
bird in the jungle, not only imitates other birds really
really accurately, but pretty much anything he hears around him.

(22:57):
So there's like like odd he sounds of industry and stuff.
And I'll play some clips of that in a seconds.
It's pretty crazy.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Josh Holiday Live is top forty radio talk radio for
the top forty percent of the population who aren't complete
hitting it.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
This could be a podcast wanted.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Jib jab Josh. What's your opinion? Dal six four seven
six year Josh or send attacks Now? Now back to
the nonsense talked to Rocks Josh Holiday Live.

Speaker 5 (23:35):
Yeah, my voice is terrible. It is just Holiday Live.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (23:43):
That's the Kiss song I was made.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
For Loving You Baby, Disco Kiss Huh Disco Kiss.

Speaker 5 (23:51):
That was when Kiss went disco and I I will
tell you this. My sister and I, Uh, I guess
my parents had that album and we played that song
in our living room over and over and over. I
guess it was like ear candy for the for us. Kid.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
Were your parents fans of disco or Kiss or contemporary music?

Speaker 5 (24:13):
I think just a combination because they also like like
stuff that I was not into, Like they had arrange,
like they had their unanimous schoories and stuff like that too, right,
I don't know what that is. The Eagles, they had
the Eagles, you know, sort of in the middle kind
of thing, but they had they did have this album, and.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
So they were only fans of Kiss once they hit
like top forty radio.

Speaker 5 (24:35):
Yeah, I don't even know, Like, I can't imagine that
we Yeah, it must. They must have brought the album in,
but I don't know if it's because we had sort
of expressed some into that. It's it's all blur because
we were so.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Young, young and he seem older than me. But I
was so young when Kiss was popular. My cousin had
Kiss posters on his wall and I had to sleep
in his room.

Speaker 5 (24:56):
They'd be scary.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
It was horrifying. Really, Yeah, I mean I was probably
like four or five years old and he's got Kiss posters.
It's all Kiss posters.

Speaker 5 (25:06):
Yeah, I guess with the like in there in the
posters they're like there's blood.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Probably it's a whole mess to a five year old child.
And then we went back a couple of years later
and thank god he'd gotten into women because there was
a one kiss poster and the rest of it was,
you know, Sheryl Tiegs or something.

Speaker 5 (25:23):
Okay, I this is okay, I'm gonna admit something embarrassing here,
which is nothing new for the show. But in when
I was like in my teens, uh, there was like
a video game store. We'd go to buy video games
for our for our television or yeah, and in the

(25:44):
store there was a poster for for Sony something and
it was this lady in a in a blue one
piece bathing suit type thing and uh, you know, gap
in that air, like just to like there was something
about it that for a long time that was like
like I was like, oh my god, at that age,

(26:06):
that became the stuff of fantasy for for quite a
long time. So well, it wasn't at the time. It
was new. So recently I was like, I wonder if
I can just out of curiosity to go back and
see what exactly I was like a walkman poster. It
may very well have been or some kind of sewing
video thing she just.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
Got on clear shorts. As I'm looking at the options
on that, I don't.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
Think I really did a deep dive. Shit, it's a
blue one piece bathing suit, is what I remember, kind
of like a like a similar to sort of what
what you see in like Jane fond of the old
sort of exercise type videos. Good, but I couldn't find
it anywhere, and I thought if the internet should, like somewhere,
I should be able to find that, but it did
not appear. Oh, you're talking about the Kiss I Was

(26:53):
Made for loving the song we just played a bit of. Uh,
it just hit one billion streams on Spotify. Uh, it's
it's the first. Uh that's from nineteen seventy nine, the
first song from Kiss to hit the Billions Club.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
Oh okay, Well I was gonna say it was the
first song to hit the Billions Club. Surely, no, for
that that makes sense for them. That's about right.

Speaker 5 (27:17):
I think that's the song. The secondary song, like the
one that probably is more emblematic of Kiss generally is
probably the I want to rock and roll on nine party.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
Or sure, But I mean I Was Made for Love
You is more approachable than than most of the other songs.

Speaker 5 (27:33):
Well, I would say it's more. I mean, it's clearly
more commercial because it's actually been used in a bunch
of commercials.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
And yeah, and it's more, it's more complex it. You know,
a lot of their stuff is like, you know, three chord,
you know, and then you got three pieces.

Speaker 5 (27:46):
And I take pride in the fact that now, like
if I listen to my car whatever, I can like
do the fake whip thing. And actually I think it's
on every sixth thing. I'm not musical, but like every
sixth sort.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
Of a certain level. Kiss had like a strip down,
like they've got a bass, a lead and a drummer. Yeah,
and then on this you had a lot of studio
production and as you say, a whip crack apparently. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
Also the like as a as a kid, it just
was cool because they were you know, they were makeup
and I remember seeing that bad movie they did Kiss,
like where they're an amusement park in the park.

Speaker 3 (28:23):
Yeah, and Halloween in the park.

Speaker 5 (28:25):
Because I like theme parks and behind it is cool
are cool too, So all that stuff came together. Yes,
it was you know. I mean I've seen that it's
available on YouTube. It's not the best, yeah, well probably
not now. Back then though, now.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
I mean it's it. We were the right age to
be enjoying that at the time.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
And I one I told I think I told you
this before one Halloween, we decided to go out as
like kiss and we we found these ladies boots in
the garden, likes people who put out in the garbage.
We found child Hey. Yeah, we wore them for Halloween
and realized that, oh that's not good for that actually
was painful.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
If you walk around in those which character were you?

Speaker 5 (29:04):
I think it was probably Jeans him and yeah, yeah,
I think he's sort of the go to Oh yeah,
Paul Stanley and yeah, uh okay, So I promise you
this I was. I'm a huge David Attenborough fan. And
if you don't know who David Attenborough is, you reckon.

(29:24):
You'll recognize the voice right away. But British nature guy.
If you're going to watch the Planet Earth series, those
are brilliant. I know in some American versions they put
Oprah on them, but he is the quintessential like oh,
the lion is looking for his pray and he's just
an amazing, amazing gentleman. There's a documentary about his life

(29:46):
as well. It's just just like just an amazing guy.
He's really like I think he's in almost late nineties
now and he's still at it. But I stumbled across
across this clip where I'm not gonna play the whole clip,
but early on, there's this bird in the jungle that
can to impress mates and stuff he imitates, but a

(30:06):
bunch of different birds, different birds, sounds, birds and birds. Yeah,
I guess he can imitate the call of almost any bird.
But then it gets a little weird where he also
is able to mimic stuff that he hears in his environment.
And that's what I'll play for you here.

Speaker 4 (30:31):
He can imitate the calls of at least twenty different species.
He also, in his attempt to out sing his rivals,
incorporates other sounds that he hears in the forest. That
was a camera shutter.

Speaker 5 (30:55):
And again.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
And now a camera with a motor drive.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
I'm not a problem.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Yeah yeah, And now the sounds of protesters and their
chainsaws working nearby.

Speaker 5 (31:26):
Yah, that's a.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
That's too intense, man. I mean, like all the sounds
of modernity that are a nuisance.

Speaker 5 (31:51):
But the bird, like the cameras.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
It's like, oh, guess what I got all these in
my bag to attract a mate. The ladies, here's some chainsaws,
here's some logging trucks and they do they have the
beep beep when the truck backs up, I'm sure to
be even more annoying.

Speaker 5 (32:06):
Yeah, but even it's I guess it goes to show
that like even in nature, dudes are trying to do
crazy things to attract ladies.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
Like just they are like, hey, look at me back
and they're plumage. You know it's out.

Speaker 5 (32:20):
But like that camera click with the like with the motor,
it was like so specific, like.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
The very very it just sounds like the thing itself.

Speaker 5 (32:28):
Yeah, like like and this is just like a bird,
like a little bird doing doing all these things. It's
just a yeah, just kind of caught me off guards, like,
holy crap, that's the coolest bird I think I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (32:40):
Yes, I also heard there's birds in the wild that
will like sometimes talk or swear and stuff. And it's
because people release their their home raised.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Birds, right Yeah, And the potty mouth now that they're
spreading out.

Speaker 5 (32:55):
They spread, they spread in nature. I'm always fascinated by
and I'm always like like amazed by. I don't know what.
It's like a weird curiosity when whenever there's any kind
of like like animal that has the ability to kill

(33:15):
a man or a person. I'm always sort of fascinated
by that, like whether it's snakes, sharks, alliators, crocodiles. I'm
just I have it's part of it's a morbid curiosity,
like like I've seen videos where you know, really untowards
stuff happens, and I'm just it just I don't know
if it's that primordial kind of like there's it's just

(33:37):
man versus beast kind of thing. But there's a lady
who this week, I think she's in her sixties. She
lives in Florida. She lives on a river in Florida,
and she's seen this female crocodile who who mostly is
across the river from her and doesn't do any any
any harm or whatever. And then recent months she saw

(34:01):
this male guy who's kind of come around and she
saw him to take this apossum, a possum carcass from
under her deck. And he's been in the area yet.
This lady does a big yoga workout and relaxes and
she thinks, you know, I'm just gonna have a swim,
wade into the water, and of course this male crocodile

(34:21):
grabs her and tries to tries to pull her, and
she at least she's aware of like sort of what
they're going to do, because how rude. Yeah, he's pulling
her out, and she knows he's gonna he's gonna death
roll her where they twist try and separate your limbs
from you and then uh, and I guess he had
already some like a scar or some a wound on

(34:41):
his nose from something else. So uh. At the final moment,
she managed to like whack that whack that really hard
and pride jaws and she got out and quickly got
to the shore and her kids called that woman. But
just the that even if she did die like that,
would I would feel that would fit into category of
Darwinism because like in all kinds of In the comments,

(35:05):
because I'm sort of curious what people had to say
in the comments, people were saying, anyone who lives in
Florida knows you just don't go into into any real
water there except for the ocean, because it's bound to.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
Have confused with lizards. There are tons of alligators, deadly lizards. Yeah,
I was I'm always curious because you see I see
stories of like kids swimming and crieks in in in
like these southern states.

Speaker 5 (35:31):
He was swimming on the creek. Yeah, there's there's alligators around,
but they won't harm you, but not in this case.
It's yeah, and of course they had to kill the alligator.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
Yeah, because now it's gout the taste for human blood.

Speaker 5 (35:46):
Well, I think part of the problem too is, uh,
you know, some dumb dumbs because they like to see
the alligators. They'll feed them and bring them in, and
the alligator doesn't have the brain. He's like, oh people
your food food people people food people are food back.
But yeah, I again, I'm always fascinated by like animal

(36:10):
nature encounters with you know, giant snakes or crocodiles or alligators.
I don't know what it is. I'm a sick man.
I'm a very sick man. Everyone loves to save some money.
I have some some people wade in on just random
things they do to to try and save money. Some
of them are kind of like really, like you're at

(36:32):
the expense of just everyday pleasure. But we'll we'll share
some of these in a sect.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
People say a lot of things about Josh.

Speaker 5 (36:41):
There's a website devoted to all things Josh, you're kidding me.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
Sometimes things that are even nice.

Speaker 5 (36:46):
I was immediately attracted to Josh.

Speaker 3 (36:48):
Tell them what do you think?

Speaker 1 (36:49):
Any time caller text at six four seven six h Josh,
it's talked at Rocks. It's Josh Holiday Live.

Speaker 5 (37:04):
Yeah. Another one of those rock like power rock like
the like the kiss. That debt also used for commercials
Frankenstein or Frankenstein. Maybe I should have used that earlier

(37:26):
because there's a Frankenstein haunted house at the Niagara Falls.
But too late for that. Too late. Everyone's looking for
a way to save a buck. Uh, And this is uh.
Someone posted online, what are some things that you've adopted
that made a big impact over time on saving money?

(37:47):
So here's some of those ones.

Speaker 4 (37:49):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (37:50):
For online shopping, this person leaves it in the cart
and says if they come back to the cart multiple times,
it means yeah, I need that and I want that,
and I I've fallen victims to that where I just
snap right through and buy it. But a lot of
times I'll do the brows and I'll leave something in
my cart, and sometimes what I'll do is, especially if

(38:11):
I'm comparing between a few items, I'll just save them
all my cart and then kind of go through and delete, delete, delete.
Do you do that.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
I actually like to leave stuff around because then you'll
see I think it's cheaper.

Speaker 5 (38:24):
Oh yeah, that's true too. There's some isn't there like
a I'm sure there's like a web extension. They'll do
some of that work for you.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (38:33):
Probably, I don't have the time for that. Rent or
buy a less house and car than you can afford.
This person says, saved them they're partner hundreds of thousands
of dollars over the years.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
Oh okay, yeah, we didn't know about doing that.

Speaker 5 (38:48):
Well that would make I mean that just that just
makes common sense. But I think fascinating. Probably it's it's
being mentioned here because most people do the opposite. They
they know what they can kind of before, and they're like, well,
this house is great, you know, we'll just pay the
little bit extra for it. Or those people who and
these people are sort of ridiculous, they'll have like a

(39:11):
really really kind of there'll skimp on buying their house
and stuff, and then they'll have like a Ferrari in
the driveway. It's like, your priority is having this car
over having a decent place to live. I guess this
guy says, I bought the cheapest twenty thirteen Prius when

(39:31):
gas prices where skyrocketing, gets between sixty and sixty miles
per gallon on his daily sixty mile commute. That's handy
using the library, or the library as some people will
call it, which I admit, I buy it like a

(39:51):
ton of books because because it's so convenient, I'll be
just sitting on my kindle. And then of course it
suggests stuff that's related to stuff I've read, and I'm like, oh, yeah, okay,
I'll get that. Get a sample of it. And the
sample is like the drug dealers kind of first hit.
It gives you the taste of it, and you're like, I,
now I have to finish reading just a taste. That's
all it takes. Uh being semi vegetarian.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
Oh, I realized that was an option.

Speaker 5 (40:19):
Yes, semi vegetarian. Well, he says, I found if I
bought more veggies and just bought smaller portions of better
quality meat, could not only eat better but also lose weight.
Huh Uh. This one's a contentious one because there's that
who's the lady? Uh who says it talks about just
don't get that one Starbucks latte a day, and you

(40:42):
can save tons and tons of money.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
So that the idea that that the youth are just
irresponsible with their money and that's why they can't afford
a house.

Speaker 5 (40:50):
Well, that was the that one's been around for a
long time.

Speaker 4 (40:53):
I know.

Speaker 5 (40:53):
It was like Susie Orman is that she she one
of those ladies. But someone came up with this idea that, well,
you're spending you know, five six dollars on a latte
a day. Imagine if you didn't pay that, Imagine the savings.
And so these people say, oh, we never pay for
coffee that we haven't brewed ourselves at home. We use
excellent costco coffee beans that we grind ourselves.

Speaker 3 (41:15):
Oh, my excellent costco beans.

Speaker 5 (41:17):
Yeah. In in my life, I live alone, go out
to save for my dog. And it's not just the
idea of like having the coffee, it's getting out of
my house, going and hanging out of the coffee place.
They all they know my orders sometimes, now, this is
how well they know. Sometimes they'll see me across the

(41:41):
street at the stoplight, waiting to go across the street
to the coffee shop, and they've already got halfway through
making my coffee sometimes because there's an advanced green for
the other side. By the time I get in there,
they've already made my fancy latte and it's on the counter.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
Yeah. I used to have a relationship with a Starbucks
that was that sophisticated.

Speaker 5 (42:00):
Now this is not a Starbucks that will say well.

Speaker 3 (42:02):
Whatever, I'm just saying it was. The relationship was with
the baristas. Actually, yeah, so you know, I would just
I was standing in line with my brother in law
one day and the guy saw me and you know,
he raised his eye brought me. I was like, I nodded.
He just like made my coffee and handed it to me,
and my brother in law was like, did you order
with an app? I was like, no, just a head nod.

Speaker 5 (42:20):
Yeah, yeah, that's they know my exact order.

Speaker 3 (42:22):
It's like, and we're on good term, so I, you know,
I kind of like jump the line. I don't have
to really wait.

Speaker 5 (42:29):
Well, I figured out a system. Most of the time,
I don't mind like going in there and kind of
hanging out and waiting for the coffee. But for example today,
because I, you know, want to get out of bed,
I don't want to spend a lot of time waiting
between getting up here to do the show. They have
the Ritual app, which is kind of an order in
advance app. So I'll put the order through there and

(42:51):
say hey, it's Josh in the in the comment line.
Then they'll cancel it because it costs more to Ritual
and I've already prepaid and they'll have my order ready
when I get there. Uh and yeah, so it's good.
And at one time I even like, uh I I
was in the coffee shop once and this this drug
guy came in and I kind of I was standing

(43:13):
up at the counter waiting for my coffee and I
kind of saw him out of the corn in my
eyes said, I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
Here, This gentleman was on drugs or something.

Speaker 5 (43:20):
Well, this guy who came in, he you know, he
had sores and stuff.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
He was addicted and yeah.

Speaker 5 (43:25):
Maybe like sort of ready. And he came beside me.
He went by me, and I was like, I don't know,
this is just like maybe he's going to use the
washing or something.

Speaker 3 (43:33):
And then he grabbed the tip the tip.

Speaker 5 (43:37):
I was between him and the door, and uh, so
I managed to block him and tell him to put
the tists back and I didn't get stabbed, thankfully, and
then I didn't.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
Get video, like he just wanted to like put the
tip jar.

Speaker 5 (43:52):
Back as I put it back, put hard work.

Speaker 3 (43:56):
This is my neighborhood.

Speaker 5 (43:57):
Well, I just felt because I know the barisa is
so well.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
For you to not act in that moment would be
an act of you would not be in solidarity with them,
you know.

Speaker 5 (44:06):
Yeah, yeah, so I stopped him and then.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
For you, Yeah, I mean it's good to say your
mold mannered individual, but you know you'll use your size
at times for the forces of good.

Speaker 5 (44:17):
Yeah. Well, yeah, it's good to have them kind of moment.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
But man, I feel like that, you know, a certain
dudes of a certain size have a responsibility to the
community to uh, to get away, to keep things straight
and narrow at a certain level.

Speaker 5 (44:30):
Yeah. Yeah, so we got most of the money back,
and yeah he took off, But it really is like
there's it's a small coffee shop, so there's one barista
who's there Monday to Friday, and then one who's there
on the weekend. So you get to know them and
the other clients heel pretty well. So yeah, uh as
any other of these crazy tips. Uh well, this one,

(44:53):
I've I think it's good. This is similar to the
shoe thing. By the high quality version of the thing,
and take good care of it, because when you buy
the crappy version of something you're ending up, you're going
to replace it many more times than if you get
a good version.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
Uh yeah, that's becoming increasingly difficult to locate, just.

Speaker 5 (45:15):
On a general principle, what quality stuff. Yeah, yes, yeah, well.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
They've decided that profits are in like making us buy
it four hundred times over.

Speaker 5 (45:26):
Well even like you look at it, especially for major
appliances they used to make.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
Oh brother, I just had a whole episode last weekend
was spent in search of a refrigerator, you know, I mean,
like because the refrigerator gave up after five years.

Speaker 5 (45:38):
Yeah, but if you if you bought a refrigerator in
the eighties or this be running it twenty five years later,
it's still still you.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
Couldn't service it because the freon that they use is
now no longer illegal.

Speaker 5 (45:51):
Yeah it's deadly, but you don't.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
But it doesn't leak because it was well made. Right,
although their energy inefficient in comparison to am one. But
I mean, like, you know, all these little quirks and
then like now I'm out another seventeen hundred dollars.

Speaker 5 (46:06):
Now, yeah, I just try. My general thing is I
not just with appliances, but things in general. I just
try to just not buy a lot of crap, Like
I'd rather spend my money on like having a meal
or experiences or traveling or Yes, but though what I do,
I do, Like when I do purchase something, I do
try and get something that that's of value. Like last year,

(46:29):
I got a new television, and I didn't want to
scrimp because the technology changes so fast, so I want
to get like to that point whatever was sort of
the most sort of technologically advanced, although I did get
it on sale, so I mean sort of halfway halfway
thing there, technology stuff this and now this seems obvious,

(46:56):
but I know parents have had a lot of trouble
with that, especially my sister. Kids are on the phone
all the time. Cutting kids screen time to just three
and this is impossible. Cutting kids screen time to just
three hours per week can result in significant improvements to
their mental health and behavior in as little as two weeks.
Of course, scoring a new study eighty nine families with

(47:18):
one hundred and eighty one children beween four and seventeen
After fourteen days of a reduced screen time regimen, researchers
found that these children experienced a decrease in behavioral difficulties
equivalent to moving from the borderline category to the normal category.
Says that even a brief period of reduced screen time
can have measurable measurable benefits for children's mental health. Research

(47:44):
point out that the three hour limit applies specifically to
leisure screen time. It doesn't include use for school or homework.
I will say, though, it's hard for me to tell
the kids or the nephews to to get off the phone,
because I realize when I'm telling them that, I'm like, yeah,
I'm actually doing the same thing, Like I want to

(48:06):
hear way more.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
Oh yeah, we're all hooked. But at the same time,
you know, you have a you know, the gen X
brain that's got fifteen minutes of attention span because that
was the amount of time between commercials, right, and so
then their attention span is going to be like three seconds.

Speaker 5 (48:21):
Well yeah, because of the TikTok is.

Speaker 3 (48:23):
Just got a scroll this is this doesn't appeal.

Speaker 5 (48:28):
Artificial intelligence requires so much more power it's straining the
electrical grid in a lot of areas.

Speaker 3 (48:38):
I've seen stuff on this.

Speaker 5 (48:39):
Yeah, well I remember seeing the last time I saw
it was with cryptocurrency, where which is like that that scam?
Is it the mining of that which I still do
not understand, the like the it's hard to me to
fathom what goes on, but the idea that so these
these pyramid schemers can can make money off these crypto rubes.

Speaker 3 (49:03):
Yeah. I mean, like there's an article I don't remember
what publication, but you know Grandburry, Texas south of Port Worth.
You know they're out there people with headaches andrologia because
of the constant hum of this crypto mining facility that's
like the size of I don't know, it's maybe an acre.

Speaker 5 (49:23):
I read that same article.

Speaker 3 (49:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's.

Speaker 5 (49:25):
Just just and it's just for what like this, like
it's for like creating nothing but using all this electrosy It's.

Speaker 3 (49:33):
Just yeah, I mean, it's not nothing because it's like, oh,
this this blockchain technology is going to save the world
because we'll be able to everything will be verifiable.

Speaker 5 (49:42):
Well now it's now AI is eating a ton of electricity.
AI queries require about ten times the electricity of a
traditional Google.

Speaker 3 (49:52):
But that makes sense too, because a has got to
sit there and churn out an answer. Yeah, so why
wouldn't it take more electricity?

Speaker 5 (49:58):
It has to think, it has to actually do something,
go on the Internet and scrape some stuff and then
give you something that was probably copyrighted. And that's just
a search. So imagine now the electrocity and stuff to
actually create well recreate audio and video stuff. Needs of
AI are requiring energy companies to recalibrate their future projections,

(50:22):
even explore previously unheard of options, such as restarting a
nuclear reactor at the Three Mile Island Power Plant, which
has been dormance in nineteen seventy nine. Does the news
get better? I did you see? It felt like it
should have been out a long time ago. But there's
a documentary within the last like four or five years
about the whole three Mile Island thing, and it's really scary.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
Man.

Speaker 5 (50:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
I showed that to my kid. It was, you know,
once because I showed a Chernobyl, you know, the HBO.

Speaker 5 (50:55):
Oh that was a phenomenal series.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
It was. It was so intense and so disturbing.

Speaker 5 (51:01):
Disturbing and frustrating because he can't like this has happened. Well,
it's happened, but at the time, like people.

Speaker 3 (51:06):
Like part of the fact that that one party apparatus
was in denial was the most horrifying part of the
whole thing. Yeah, and then like eventually they get somebody
who knows what they're talking about on the scene and
it's like no, no, no, it's four thousand times more
powerful than debated.

Speaker 5 (51:27):
Yeah. Yeah, really insane. And part of it, it feels
like that, like the microcosm of that is the the
guy the mayor in Jaws. Yeah, I just want to
keep the beach open. Yeah, we don't know nothing, nothing's
really wrong, you know, just.

Speaker 3 (51:41):
Didn't even think about the mayor in Jaws. I've only
seen that movie once and I was very young.

Speaker 5 (51:45):
But yeah, oh my god, Okay, we'll see it again
and see what you did.

Speaker 3 (51:49):
Yeah, I don't want to see it. It's one of
the best I don't want to see a politician in
denial of reality, Like it's one of the most disturbing things.

Speaker 5 (51:57):
He's not so much denying reality is he's willing to
sacrifice a few swimmers for the well. Can't get down
see with your kid because US adults shouldn't be the
only ones that have fear of sharks being in any
body of watch.

Speaker 3 (52:11):
Well there, Now, shark attacks are actually more of a
threat than they were in nineteen seventy seven or whatever.

Speaker 5 (52:16):
It's definitely picked up. Yeah, you see it all the time. Well,
because the warm waters are creeping north and there's more
and more sharks in the Yeah, everything's turning to crap.
If there's a message we can we can transmit from
this show, is everything's turning to crap, creeping crap. Watch
out for that, look out for that crap that's going on.

(52:38):
All right, Well, we'll share more crap with you a weekends,
and you're gonna be on vacation, so I may have
to like blab even more. It's a scary thought. All right, love,
