The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
It is nasty out there and it's gonna get nastier
in other parts of the Caribbean or Caribbean, depending on
how you want to say it.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Let's get to it.

Speaker 4 (00:25):
Now.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
It's time for the Chad Action News Weather reports. When
weather weather's we weather the storm.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
We do have to weather the storm, and the storm
is massive. Melissa came, she saw, she destroyed.

Speaker 5 (00:36):
Jamaica's Prime minister, declaring the entire island a disaster area.
Hurricane Melissa making landfall as a category five, one of
the most powerful on record, wins up to one hundred
and eighty five miles per hour, destroying homes and schools,
Residents and twenty five thousand tourists riding out the worst
of it. In Black River, the local hospital battered, sheet

(00:59):
metal and power lines blocking the exit, several families trapped,
Reports of roofs, of flying off.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Homes, flying off homes.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
I mean it is a disaster zone, I think is
the only way you can describe it. It is an
absolute disaster. Jamaica was hit full force, and how many
lives are lost? Those things are going to come over
the next couple days. The amount of when I saw
the airport, which they're hope and opened sooner rather than later.
I was like, those aren't planes, those are boats.

Speaker 6 (01:28):
Southwestern Jamaica has taken a direct hit, and with many
areas of the island cut off by flooding, it is
really hard to know the exact toll that the storm
has taken, including the number of deaths now at seven,
but that is expected to rise. The official SAI Kingston's
Airport could reopen as soon as tomorrow for emergency relief flights.
President Trump overnight also said the US is prepared to

(01:49):
send help.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
And one of the things that we talked about yesterday
with Mike lyones Er, a military analyst, was the fact
that we, you know, with what's going on with Venezuela
and the potential to see some issues and action.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Who knows what the hell it is.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
I mean, I'm trying to figure out what the hell
we're calling it, and we'll get to that a little
bit later. But we have so much stuff there when
it comes to our military that that's kind of a
blessing in disguise. So it moves on from there to Cuba.

Speaker 7 (02:18):
Hurricane Melissa making landfall in Cuba after lashing into Jamaica,
the Prime Minister declaring the entire island a disaster area.
One of the most powerful on record to make landfall
in the entire Atlantic basin wins up to one hundred
and eighty five miles per hour, destroying homes and schools.
Urgent search and rescue operations underway after the Monsters storm,

(02:39):
unleashing torrents of flood waters and life threatening surge.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Now the surge was a big deal, ten feet massive.
This got to thirteen feet. What is it going to
be like in Cuba?

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
They were expecting in excess of some seven hundred plus
thousand people fleeing from Jamaica and elsewhere to get to Cuba,
only to find out that it's coming there as well.
One hundred and eighty five mile an hour wins and
again a direct hit. So you got Cuba, the Bahamas,

(03:13):
and Bermuda all going to face something and it doesn't
seem to be slowing down. Storm of the Century. Some
people are saying, I don't know about that, because the
century is only a quarter old. But I will tell
you this, when you go and look at the damage
it is, it looks like tsunami. Kind of stuff is
how horrific it is. So we'll be following this route

(03:35):
to day obviously and tomorrow and this is going to
take a few days to dig out of. But there
is no doubt that this is a disaster and watching
the way that people tried to handle this, because you know,
we think if we think of Jamaica, we think it's
just an island where people go and have fun. Was
talking to my friend yesterday. She got engaged over the weekend,

(03:56):
but they were in the Dominican and they knew it
was coming. But she says, you know, we're at these
beautiful resorts. They're stunning, and they're built by essentially American investors,
and they're built to withstand just about anything. And she goes,
but when you drive in there from the airport and

(04:17):
back to the airport, these places aren't built to withstand
a tough breeze. So absolute just showing you what nature
can do. Showing you absolutely what nature can do. We
move on from there, though we've got stuff going on here.
There's stuff going on everywhere from there to our government
which is working, no, not yet. When will they get

(04:39):
back to work, that's a good question. One thing I
do know is SNAP the benefits program. This is going
to become an issue, and everybody's trying to figure out
how do you fund this. It's like they're trying to
figure out how you fund each thing individually rather than
just doing their job.

Speaker 8 (05:00):
But forty two million lower income Americans are about to
lose critical food assistance. The Department of Agriculture now saying quote,
the well has run dry, and tonight two dozen Democrat
led states suing the Trump administration to force it to
use emergency funds to cover SNAP.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
The amount of people that get something from SNAP. When
I mean, I don't think people realize it's huge. I
mean amount In Tennessee, it's ten percent of the population
get something from SNAP.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
And everybody thinks that it's all just you know, the.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Welfare queens, or it's just you know, the individual who
is so downtrod and everything's gone against them. Now it's
a vast majority of the people are people who work.
They've got full time jobs, sometimes several jobs, and it's
still not enough.

Speaker 8 (05:51):
To Americans across at least forty eight states, like Dana Tuller,
a mother of five working three different jobs, will lose
SNAP benefits come the first of November.

Speaker 9 (06:00):
I am angry. I'm angry that the politicians that make
the decisions don't care. They can just go on vacation,
go on recess, and not worry about what's happening to
their constituents.

Speaker 8 (06:12):
Tonight, tens of thousands of workers furloughed, many not getting paychecks.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Now, when you saw the several air traffic controllers putting
up their paychecks online that said, you know, sixty hours worked,
zero pay, So they're going to get paid. But you know,
one of the things that's brought up, the stress that
they're under already is now exacerbated by the fact that
they're not getting paid right now. And that's, you know,

(06:41):
a pretty damn big deal. When you already have people
that are overworked, stressed out of their mind, and have
people's lives in their hands, the last thing you want
them worrying about is whether or not they're going to
get paid anytime soon, and anytime soon. So Pollymarket, you
guys know, pau market is are you bet on anything?

(07:01):
Pollymarket puts it now past November sixteenth, so chance of
it now as of today and tomorrow one percent.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
It moves up to nine.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Percent through the third through next week, then it gets
a little bit bigger twenty percent chance. As of November
fourth through the seventh. Polly Market puts it at a
thirteen percent chance November eighth through the eleventh, twelve percent
chance November twelfth through the fifteenth, but it puts it

(07:33):
at almost a fifty percent chance that after the sixteenth
you will see this get done. So that's where most
of the money is going. And why are we doing
this again?

Speaker 8 (07:44):
It'll break with her party. Congresswoman Marjory Taylor Green acknowledging
she lashed out on a Republican call, accusing the GOP
of not having a plan to tackle health care costs.
Green writing today she confronted Speaker Johnson, saying, I have
no respect for the House not being in session, and
I demanded to know from Speaker Johnson what the Republican

(08:04):
plan for healthcare is.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
I think we'd all like to know what it is.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
You know what I hear from them is we can
do it better than they can. We're gonna let the
free market work. Okay, that sounds great. So how are
you doing the free market just out of curiosity? Because
the free market isn't as free as we think, because
of crony capitalism.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
So how's that going to work?

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Secondly, we're going to I mean, they parrot things that
are talking points, but I don't think there is a plan.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
I don't think there is a plan, no way chatter
you said, Yeah, I'm serious. In fact, I know there's
not a plan, at least one that they take seriously.
You may have other people in on the Republican side
who are just the run of the mill congress people
who have an idea what they'd like to see have done,
but nobody's taking them serious.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
It's just the usual. It's too expensive.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
We can make it cheaper, and we could do it
by cutting waste, fraud and abuse, making sure illegals don't
get any of these things right, You see where I'm
going with this, and then letting the free market work.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
That's not a plan. Those are talking points. That's not
a plan.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
And if you don't think this is going to become
a bigger issue as time moves on, I told you
guys the other day, my healthcare went up in a
major way, and everybody I've talked to so far is
feeling it. And I'm not even on the exchange anymore.
I couldn't even imagine what the exchange would be like
for me at this moment in time, because it was
already out of control. Holy Mother of Goodness, speaking of

(09:41):
out of control, we have to talk about stuff that's
serious as well, and this is super serious. If you're
in Mississippi, be aware that there are monkeys free. And
these aren't just regular monkeys. These are monkeys that were
bound for medical experiments or whatever and maybe carrying viruses.

(10:01):
What I've seen this movie it's called Outbreak. Okay, it's
called Outbreak Morgan Freeman dust and often you guys remember
that that's what this has become.

Speaker 10 (10:08):
The urgent search for dangerous research monkeys that escaped from
the wreckage of a crash on a Mississippi highway. Video
showing several monkeys crawling in the grass heavily armed officers
responding to the scene. Authority say, a truck carrying nearly
two dozen recis monkeys from two Lane University overturned on
Interstate fifty nine in Jasper County.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
By the way, that's the name my new band, Dangerous
Research Monkeys. And of course they're not telling you what
they were going to do. Research wise, and the costs.
People like, why haven't they shot them? Do you realize
how much these things cost.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
We've talked about the.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Mice and the rats that are genetically engineered for certain.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Diseases and stuff.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
They can cost upwards of twenty five thousand dollars. Could
you imagine what the monkey that you've genetically engineered.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
This is the black Swan of This is the black
Swan event. Damn it.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
I knew it it was coming because of Atlas, right three, iye, Atlas,
this is it. This is the black Swan event. These
things are gonna have something. It's gonna spread fast. Next
thing you know, Mississippi's gone and they're talking about lighting
us all up because they got to stop this.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Oh jeez, I should have thought of that.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three at ched Menston Show is your ex youer insta, YouTube, Facebook,
and more love hearing from each and everyone. You have
so much stuff to get to today, including our scary
movie Countdown, which, by the way, we dive deeper in
the last three into it, and today we dive deep
into number three. And I use the word dive because well,

(11:37):
you kind of do especially.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
For this one.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
We'll have that and so much more. But first, relief Factor.
You need the relief. You know, health very important as
you get older, working out, you exert yourself a little
bit more. Just living, you can get sore. So what
do you need to do. You need to take relief Factor.
Why because it's amazing. It targets the inflammatory issues that
all of us have, especially as get older. But it's

(12:01):
one of those things where you know, relief Factor is
so amazing because it allows you to bounce back faster.
And that's what I love about relief Factor. I take
it every single day. It allows me to work out more,
to bounce back faster from those workouts, and it allows
me to work out even harder. You know, we talked
yesterday about how you know you want to stay healthier longer.

(12:23):
One of the things they talk about is training for life,
like you're an athlete as you get older, lifting weights,
those things are important. Relief Factor helps you bounce back
feel better every single day.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
This is what I want you to do.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Go to relief Factor dot com relief Factor dot com
and for less than a cup of coffee a day,
you get a three week quick start. Just nineteen ninety five.
I promise you will feel a difference in your day
to day pains and aches in your muscles. It is incredible.
Go to relief factor dot com now called one eight
hundred and four Relief eight hundred the number four relief

(12:56):
for Relief Factor. This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
With everything going on around the globe, we forget because
we think somehow magically it's over. But the reality is
Gaza Hamas Israel They're still going at it even though
there is a ceasefire. Now it's not every day, and
it's far smaller than it once was. But yesterday there
was confusion about was there a sniper attack on an

(13:34):
IDF soldier? What's about this hostage that has dyed? And
then they said that they had the body.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
It looks like they were taking the body out and
they were putting the body back into what seemed to
be some sort of cave.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Was that reel?

Speaker 2 (13:47):
I mean, this is the confusion we have right now
because while everything is signed, nothing has been sealed and delivered,
if that makes sense.

Speaker 11 (13:55):
This is not the first time that Israel has ordered
And then carried out in ten strikes amid claims of
violations of deceased fire. Just last week, it launched one
hundred and twenty strikes on Gaza again in response to
what it saw as Hamas's failure to hand over bodies
of deceased hostages.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
Now they're saying there was eighty one people killed overnight,
and this is several different things. They were saying that
one of it was because of this hostage, that the
returns of this hostage, and that they're holding stuff up.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Is that true. It's possible.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
I think Hamas is looking around going okay, well, wait,
wait a minute here. I thought there's supposed to be
all these peacekeepers here. I thought there were supposed to
be all these people that are supposed to be coming
here and helping us sort this stuff out, and we
don't see any of that.

Speaker 12 (14:46):
The next phase, I think will really be a lot
of pressure by Gatar, by Egypt, by Turkey on Hamask
to disarm with the plan. They obviously are concerned about
their own well being in Godza.

Speaker 13 (15:01):
They've made many.

Speaker 12 (15:02):
Other armful arm groups angry with them for obvious reasons.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
That's true, and we had Mike Lions our military analyst
on yesterday and he said having Egypt probably played the
biggest role is huge. Also having now Indonesia as a
part of this is going to be a big deal
as well. But the ceasefire is still in effect. Trump
is not letting that go. And a part of this
too is also we've talked about this BB and the

(15:29):
likes would love to see the opportunity to go in
there and in their mind, finish the job. Finish the
job isn't just killing all of Hamas, it's removing everybody
in Palestine. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Benson shows your ex your Insta,
YouTube and more right here on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Nothing Sooner, Jefferna.

Speaker 14 (15:51):
That's you have to stand in Alas is a very
small part of peace in the Middle East, and they
have to behave there on the rough side. But they
said they would be good, and if they're good, they're
going to be happy. And if they're not good, they're
going to be terminated. Their lives will be terminated.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Let me know what you think, and yeah, they would
be terminated. And you know, it's funny when we have
conversations about this, and we have in the past so
many people co you know, what do you do? You
hate Israel? No, don't hate Israel. Once again, that's ridiculous,
not anti Semitic, don't hate Israel.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
I'm pro Israel, but I'm not pro genocide.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
And you can't have a nuanced conversation about what has
gone on in the Middle East at all. And that's
the frustration I have with so much of this, because
a nuanced conversation is what is needed. Hamas was born
out of frustration and anger, but also funded by a
group Israel and several other groups that were hoping that

(16:53):
Hamas would be the answer and potentially the enemy destroyer
of the Palestinian authority. So it's a convoluted, frustrating thing.
And once again, I care about the people that are
caught in the middle who are innocent and have done

(17:14):
nothing but be stuck between a country that wants them
gone and to destroy them and a group of people
that say that, hey, we're here to be your freedom fighters,
and at the same time they are terrorist. So it
is a no win situation in this scenario, at least
not in the short term.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Long term, God willing it is.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
If you miss any show by the podcast, it is
the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Don Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
All right, we are counting down the greatest horror movies
of all time, and we are down to the final three.
And these ones are iconic. There's nothing else you can
say about them. From the note that you hear to
just the mention of them, you recognize exactly who they

(18:26):
are and the impact that they have had, not just
in the world of horror, but in society and the
entertainment industry all together.

Speaker 15 (18:38):
The time has come, so prepare yourself for a journey
of fear from the darkest corner of cinema, the most
bone chilling tales ever told.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
It's the countdown you've been waiting for. Number three, Number
three today.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Three He gave us stars, turned a director who was
twenty seven into the biggest director arguably of all time,
and was the first summer blockbuster movie of all time.

(19:19):
Ladies and gentlemen, Number three, All.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
You have to say is Jaws.

Speaker 16 (19:29):
There is a creature alive today who has survived millions
of years of evolution.

Speaker 4 (19:36):
Without change, without passion, and without logic.

Speaker 16 (19:42):
It lives to kill a mindless eating machine.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
It will attack and devour.

Speaker 13 (19:54):
Anything.

Speaker 16 (19:56):
It is as if God created the devil and gave
him Jaws.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
Oh, just amazing. Jaws is incredible. It is terrifying. It
is a movie.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
That, look, it changed everything. First of all, in the
entertainment world. It changed everything. There was no summer blockbusters
prior to this, and there was no movies released nationwide
prior to this, which I don't think people realized. Jaws

(20:36):
was the first one hundred million dollar movie and it
was the first movie released nationwide for everybody, and it
was incredible and a pain in the ass to everybody
who worked on the movie. Jaws opened up on June twentieth,
nineteen seventy five. A movie that was only supposed to

(20:57):
take fifty five days to shoot in the open ocean
on Matha's Vineyard ended up being well one hundred days
longer than that and well over budget.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
But we'll get to that in a second. The movie itself.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Came from a book written by Peter Benchley entitled the
same name, Jaws, and when they started.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
The movie they had no script.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
By the way, when they started filming it, they also
didn't have a shark which was kind of pain in
the ass for everybody. Carl Cottley was a friend of
Peter Benchley, and he hated what they were doing to
the script. So he was a script writer and he said, hey,

(21:50):
take a look at this.

Speaker 17 (21:51):
Steven sent me with a note on the cover that
said he viscerated in viscerated it. And I wrote a
lengthy memo.

Speaker 18 (21:58):
A lot of details.

Speaker 13 (21:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (22:00):
I say, if we do our jobs right, people will
feel about going in the water. But when they felt
about taking the shower.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
After Psycho, and they did their jobs right. They rewrote
the movie on numerous occasions, and at times they even
ad libbed parts because they had these amazing actors who
will get to in a second.

Speaker 17 (22:22):
We were blessed with a cast that could kind of
have lib in character.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
You're gonna need a bigger poach.

Speaker 17 (22:30):
Most actors, if you say, ad lib makes their part bigger.
But people were a living relatively selflessly. When I spotted
something potentially funny, or if there was a humor in something,
I would say, Stephen, think we got to laugh here
if we changed the line.

Speaker 18 (22:46):
Stephen was always responsive to that.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
And Stephen was exhausted. He wanted to quit the movie
several times, but he didn't. He stuck it out, realizing
that the budget that was originally four million balloon to
nine million. But don't worry, they made almost five hundred
million dollars. John Williams wrote the score and won an
Academy Award for it. He actually changed it to which
you hear mmmm. The shark finally came and boy was

(23:15):
it a waste of time. Bruce was his name, named
after Steven Spielberg's lawyer. It sank on numerous occasions. Theater
of the mind is what really made this movie what
it was, and it was Theater of the mind. And
it was terrifying, absolutely terrifying. When they showed the movie originally,

(23:40):
the first test audience screamed too early in one of
the big tense scenes with Ben Gardner.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
And his boat. Spielberg then went and re edited. How
did he do that?

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Simple? He went over to Vera Fields. She's the Academy
Award winning editor. She had a swimming pool. They went
into her backyard that had milk powder, and then they
reshot the scene where he goes and pulls the tooth
out of the boat. Richard Dreyfuss and Ben Gardner's head

(24:12):
pops out, which terrified everybody. What was funny about that
is it ruined her pool. But one of the other
things that Spielberg talked about he used to go to
the theater in the first couple of weeks to watch
the reaction of the people, and once that was done,
he would leave. One of the other things that helped
the film in a weird way was just before the

(24:35):
film's release, there was a series of shark attacks near
Cape cod which grabbed national attention, making Universal's marketing team
very happy. Some of the newspapers put things like shark
menace strikes coast just like in Jaws. The movie hadn't
come out yet people had seen it. Spielberg's struggles though,

(24:59):
he said it added ten years to his life, and
that was just from the filming let alone. What was
going on off the set. You had great actors Robert Shaw,
Richard Dreyfus, Loraene Gray, and Roy Scheider. The interesting thing

(25:20):
about the rest of what you saw in the movie,
the people, those were all locals that they used, But
the battle off camera was huge. Roy Scheider was not
easy to work with. Loreen Gray said on many occasions
that you know whoever interviewed her was closer to her

(25:44):
than he was in the movie, and they were supposed
to be married. On top of that, you had Richard
Dreyfus in Shaw, and they fought NonStop. Shaw was a
legendary drinker and he partied. In fact, the great scene
of the Indianapolis where he gives a speech. The first
time he did it, he was so drunk.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
And it was awful.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
He called Spielberg the next day and said, I want
to do it again, and it became one of the
most legendary and I do mean legendary scenes in movie history.
Richard Dreyfus not easy to work with celebrating the fifty
anniversary and has come to accept Jaws and its greatness.

(26:29):
One of the things that he talked about is he
didn't want to do the movie. Spielberg asked him on
several occasions and he's like.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
Nah, I don't want to do the movie.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
You see, Dreyfus had done America Graffiti was kind of
a heart throb. Then he did another movie after that.
That movie was called The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz. Now,
Dreyfus saw the movie and said to himself I'll never

(27:00):
work again if anybody sees this movie, so I better
do something else. And he called Spielberg and said, hey,
I want to do the movie.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
Can I do the movie? Can I do the movie?

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Even though he had turned it down on several occasions,
Spielberg said absolutely. He said that was April third and
they had already started shooting. He goes, I was on
Martha's vineyard on April fourth and started filming my parts.
It was a battle though, between him and Richard Shaw.
They did not like each other, and he said Shaw
had his number and absolutely eviscerated him all the time.

(27:37):
And he said he was in my head all the time.
The movie itself, though, was about the shark, and it
was about the unknown in the water with such your
mind run wild. Then if you've seen Jaws, as many
people have. The movie starts out with Susan macklinny, who
plays Chrissy Watkins in the movie No script right. She's

(27:58):
partying on the beach and she decides she wants to
go skinny dipping with this guy who passes out on
the beach, and she still goes out into the water
and she's torn apart by the shark. The interesting thing
about that is they had pulleys on her, so they
had all these things attached to her. She has no

(28:20):
idea what is coming and when it's coming, and then
it happens.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
And once that took place and viewers watched it, it
was everybody caught up in the Jaws.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
And it was incredible. Like we said, changed cinema history
in ways that people just didn't really understand because there
was never anything like this one hundred million dollar movie,
a blockbustered summer where everybody across the nation's getting it
at once. And fifty years later, we're still talking about

(29:21):
this amazing movie, the impact it had, and when you
talk about the horror aspect of it, how many of
you were afraid to go in the water.

Speaker 19 (29:32):
I will never walk from the beach into the water
so that.

Speaker 13 (29:39):
The water comes up to my chest.

Speaker 19 (29:41):
If and when that ever happens, I'll either be dead
or in a mental institution. The fact that I can't
see what's happening underneath is so real to me.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
I can't do it. So before Jaws and after Jaws.

Speaker 19 (29:56):
Before Jaws, I didn't care.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Richard Dreyfuss and many of us who've ever been in
the ocean. And I've been in the ocean thousands of
times growing up in southern California. There's not one time
I didn't go in the ocean where I didn't think
I wonder if. And that's the sign of an incredible
horror movie and impact that it had on society. Your

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Irre like yeah, so what. It's the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
We're learning more and more about the betting scandal, how
it all went down. It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
By the way, if you think we are degenerates here,
I don't know if I touched on it yesterday.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
I thought I did. I do so many shows.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
I forget because I think I actually talked about a
little bit later and one of the other things I did.
In Turkey, there are five hundred and seventeen professional referees
for their soccer league. I want you guys to understand
how insane this is. Okay, when we think about what
just happened here, out of the five hundred and seveneen
referees the referee professional soccer in Turkey, three hundred and

(33:05):
seventeen of them had betting accounts. Out of that, several
of the top referees at the highest level, So think
of the NBA, the Premier League, Major League. I mean,
that's the level we're at in Turkey. And by the way,
football or soccer in Turkey is it is a religion

(33:27):
over there.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
Out of that, several of them had bet more than
ten thousand times, including one referee who had almost twenty
thousand bets placed online. Insane.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Speaking of insane, let's find out more about the whole
gambling thing we had here.

Speaker 20 (33:50):
New details emerge about the gambling scandal that rock the NBA.
Last week, the e liegted supplier of the technology used
to rig mafia backed poker games linked to a prominent
NBA co, which and former player pleaded not guilty. The
technology included X ray poker tables and special glasses that
can read pre marked cards.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
One of the other things they had done, which I
found fascinating, they had machines that shuffle, and those machines
you would basically tell whoever programmed him, who was sitting where,
and what would happen is they would give the best
cards to anybody, but the mark that they were going

(34:31):
after it was It's incredible. It is the question I
have though, that a lot of people have, is how
do NBA folks get caught up in this.

Speaker 20 (34:42):
Former Gambino under boss Sammy the Bull Gravano, who ran
mob gambling operations for decades, is now winging on the case.
We asked him how the mafia could allegedly convince NBA
stars already making millions in salary to get involved in
such a scheme.

Speaker 14 (34:57):
Agreed sends them in there.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
I don't know, you know, they don't force them in,
that's for sure.

Speaker 20 (35:03):
The widespread legalization of sports betting and the surgeon online
gambling or having far reaching consequences, Yeah.

Speaker 13 (35:09):
It is.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
But remember, and I point this out all the time,
who caught it first when it came to the sports betting,
not the gambling at the poker tables, but the sports betting.
It was the sports betting companies who alerted the NBA immediately, Hey,
there's something going on here with this fishy. You need
to check this out. Three two, three, five, twenty four

(35:30):
to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is your ex
your insta YouTube and more love hearing from all of
you right here on the Chad Benson Show. Coming up
our number two of the program. A lot of stuff
still to get into, including the latest on Melissa absolutely
eviscerated Jamaica and it is going to be a few

(35:51):
days before we really understand the devastation. And then you've
got people fleeing to Cuba from Jamaica and what might
happen there.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
More on Trump and is tripped through Asia.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
As well as the economy, the government shutdown and we're
going to get deep into AI. We hear all the negative.
Is there any positive when it comes to jobs and AI?
We'll talk about that as well. Commissing the show. Grab
the podcast hour number two Straight Ahead, Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
This is the Chad Benson Show. The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Government is shut down and doesn't look like it's opening
anytime soon.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
We were talking about polymarket last hour.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
If you don't know what that is, you can bet
on anything politics, I mean just it's anything, all right,
and the shutdown is one of the things. And the
money that is heading into polymarket says after the sixteenth
of November.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
There's a couple days next week that they have it.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
You know where it's in the twenty percent, but it's
almost fifty percent, saying after the sixteenth of November is
when we can be looking to the shutdown to end.
That's according to Betters. The reality is we live in
the real world, and the real world says SNAP not
going to be there.

Speaker 8 (37:39):
The Americans across at least forty eight states, like Danna Tuller,
a mother of five working three different jobs, will lose
SNAP benefits come the first of November.

Speaker 9 (37:48):
I'm angry. I'm angry that the politicians that make the
decisions don't care. They can just go on vacation, go
on recess, and not worry about what's happening to the constituents.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
I've told you this, and I'll continue to tell you this.
It is about the polls. It's not that they don't
care about you. It's they want you to tell them
who you blame for this, and then they'll get back
to business. As soon as they find out whose fault
this is and who gets the blame, they'll get back

(38:23):
to business. And that hasn't happened so far. And so
alas here we are lawsuits, air traffic controlers.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
Not getting paid.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
I mean, this is a disaster, but nobody has put
the blame on anyone enough. Because the Democrat side is saying,
fight this, fight this, fight this because they want to
make sure that nobody has any medicare they want to
make sure that illegals get all this stuff. So you've

(38:54):
got to fight this hard and resist Trump. And on
the other side of it, people are going, there's tons
of waste here. They're interested in giving billions of dollars
away to people that are here illegally. And this is
a for a lack of better term, pissing contest, and
right now it doesn't look like it's gonna be solved

(39:16):
anytime soon.

Speaker 21 (39:17):
President Trump vowing to find a solution to help fund
the federal Nutrition Program SNAP. More than two dozen states
and Washington d C Have now sued the administration after
it said it could not legally extend SNAP benefits during
the shutdown. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are
scrambling to fund the program before it lapses this weekend.
Forty two million people rely on the program to feed

(39:38):
their families.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
It's kind of funny.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
They're like figuring out one by one how to fund
everything that they possibly can without actually going in and
doing their job. How about apples? That are those apples?
Go do your job, get this sorted out. Figure out
what your plan is. When it comes to the big

(40:01):
sticking point, which is healthcare, and your plan can't be
talking points. We got to get rid of ways fraud
and abuse and not let people here legally get this. Okay,
that's those are talking points. Those are those are those
are not That's not a plan, right. That's like me

(40:21):
saying if I'm a football coach. We got to score
a touchdown. We've got to pass and we got to tackle,
and that's what we have to do. That's what That
is not the same as an actual plan. Those are
just talking points. Oh okay, other big doings going on.

(40:45):
We've been watching it nature. We talk about what it
can do to you, can mess you up. And nature
reared its ugly head and is still rearing its ugly head.
Jamaica just got I don't even know what to say.
You know, you look like a almonophan air. It looked
like the aftermath of the giant tsunami the day after

(41:06):
Christmas in Asia. That's what it looks like. It looks
like there is nothing left in certain areas. And this
is one of those things where it is. It is
changing the map from the sky when you look at Jamaica.

(41:26):
That's how big Melissa is now. Don't tell her that
she gets angry.

Speaker 7 (41:29):
Hurricane Melissa making landfall in Cuba after lashing into Jamaica,
the Prime Minister declaring the entire island a disaster area.
One of the most powerful on records to make landfall
in the entire Atlantic basin. Winds up to one hundred
and eighty five miles per hour, destroying homes and schools.
Urgent search and rescue operations underway after the monster storm,

(41:51):
unleashing torrents of flood waters and lighte threatening surge.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
And it's the power of this thing is so incredible,
and the surge, it's the wind is one thing, you know.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
And I say that because I think of it from
our perspective, right, So if you're in Florida, if you
are in you know, the coastal Carolinas and stuff like that,
where where we've seen these and threw up.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
The northeast wind is a nightmare, but it is not
the destructor.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
And we only have to look at Louisiana for that,
in New Orleans at Katrina, because our houses and our
facilities are built in such a way that, yeah, you
might lose some roofs, but you're really not going to
lose a lot else where in places like Jamaica, Cuba,
the Bahamas is a lot of shanty and there's a
lot of stuff that they just didn't blow the roof off.

(42:47):
It blew everything off, and then the rains come in.
And once the rains saturate up to forty inches in
certain area. It changed everything. The airport, which they say
maybe open to marrow Row for limited aid flights. The airport,
the planes were floating, it looked like they were just

(43:09):
it was.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
They became boats. Thirteen foot surges.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
So over the next couple days, there's already a situation
where we know that there are seven people that are dead.
That number is probably going to grow by I hope none,
but the reality is that number is going to grow,
and there'll probably a few days before we figure any
of that stuff out. Speaking of the Caribbean, we did

(43:34):
it again. If the wind's not blowing it down, we're
blowing them up.

Speaker 22 (43:38):
The Pentagon announcing the single deadliest day of strikes against
alleged drug smugglers, the accuse of trying to traffic drugs
into the United States. Two boats side by side in
the Eastern Pacific as an American missile struck four boats
total destroyed, fourteen people killed. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth saying
there was one survivor and that the Mexican Navy would

(44:01):
coordinate their rescue. But Mexico tonight says that person has
not been found.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
So we're blowing them up because drugs you know the
argument I get into, and I don't want to get into.

Speaker 3 (44:13):
An argument with people. You like drug dealers, that's my
favorite thing. You like drug dealers, I do. I love it.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
I think they're fantastic. No, I just don't like being
lied to. Stop telling me. This is about you know
how many people, the lives that are saved, twenty five
thousand lives. There's not twenty five thousand people that die
year from cocaine. We've gone over that. It's fentanyl and

(44:41):
it's Mexico. There is more to this than the drug
side of stuff. I'm not saying that Venezuela doesn't traffic drugs.
They traffick a minute amount compared to Colombia, in Peru,
really Colombia, they don't really produce anything. And there's no fentanyl,
which I've been told is the worst of the worst.

(45:03):
The one pill can kill. This is the worst of
the worst. It should be about Mexico from what I understand,
but it doesn't seem to me.

Speaker 12 (45:09):
It's important to point out that one of the main
issues in this is the fentanyl coming into the United States,
and a large portion of that bentanyl is made in
Mexico and comes from Mexico. So they're also they need
to be part of the solution to this issue.

Speaker 3 (45:26):
But they're not.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
They're not going to be part of the solution, not
until they're forced to be part of the solution. So
for us going after Venezuela, we know several reasons why
we're doing this, and Maduro is number one right, regime change,
great opportunity for us to go in there and grab
all that oil and natural resources, which if you don't know,

(45:50):
he's already told us we can have it. Come take
all you want. But that's that's that's you and I
both know that's not what it's about.

Speaker 22 (46:02):
In all, the US has killed fifty seven people since
President Trump began this campaign last month.

Speaker 13 (46:08):
Those drug ships aren't coming in anymore. We can't find
the ships.

Speaker 14 (46:11):
There's no ships coming in with drugs.

Speaker 22 (46:14):
Trump has declared these are terrorists and that the US
isn't an armed conflict, but he has publicly provided no
evidence of their alleged crimes or even identified them.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
And that's where I have serious issues with US blowing
up boats.

Speaker 5 (46:31):
That are.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
Twenty two hundred miles away in some cases, sixteen hundred
miles away in some other cases, and there's no due process,
there's none of that stuff, and we just blow them
up and say, well, they all had drugs on them,
and they had copious amounts of fentonl on them. And
that's because Marco Rubio told me so. Well, no offense.

(46:55):
I don't want to go with the I told you so.
And what happens now when it comes to all of
this military might we have in the region. I mean,
it's a blessing right now because of Melissa, the massive
storm that we have military might that we can lend
a hand to. But there is a lot of military

(47:16):
might in one area that poses no real threat to
us at all. And I don't give a rats ass
about Venezuela. No fence, I don't give a rats ass.
Why should I care? Well, they traffic cocaine, They traffic
a small amount of cocaine. Again, they don't really produce
any there's no fentanyl. Why should I care? Well because

(47:39):
of no I mean, well, because of you know, the Maduro's.

Speaker 3 (47:44):
Bad and all. I don't care.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
That's their problem. At what point do we allow people
to deal with their problems. We're not good at the
coup thing. Why should I care? What's going on? In
Venezuela because you want.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
The drug dealers. Yes, it's because I want the drug
dealers to win. Yet clowns.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
No, I just want to know why I should care
about this, Why this matters to my country that we
should be so involved potentially putting boots on the ground.
Why should I care because he's a dictator. Well, this
is just one of those things where once you go
from here, we're going to go to Cuba. So here

(48:22):
we go again. I thought the whole thought was we
were going to be staying out of these things. It
feels like we're not. Let me know what you think.
Three two three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
Atchad Benson show. Is your acts your insta earlier were
speaking about Medicare. Medicare is important, and let me tell

(48:43):
you something. You may need some help.

Speaker 3 (48:46):
Why is that?

Speaker 2 (48:47):
Because you love your Medicare plan. Next thing you know,
Medicare plan's gone. Now you're like, what do I do?
I'll tell you what you do. Call my friends a
chapter Yet pound two fifty it's say keyword Medicare plan.
They're going to help you with that. If you go
and you contact the Medicare agent, they're going to recommend
plans and earn them the most commissions. That's just kind
of what life does for people. Chapter doesn't work with

(49:11):
the government or big insurance companies.

Speaker 3 (49:13):
They work for you.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
It's absolutely free service and they'll have your options in
under twenty minutes and on average, senior save eleven hundred
dollars a year by working with Chapter.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
So what are you waiting for?

Speaker 2 (49:23):
No gimmicks, no pressure, just honest advice from the people
I trust. When it comes to medicare, that's Chapter dile
pound two fifty say keyword Medicare plan. That's pound two
fifty say keyword Medicare plan. For my friends over at Chapter.
This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (49:48):

Speaker 3 (49:52):
Texas versus Tilan. All who I like that? That's right.

Speaker 2 (49:56):
If you guys haven't heard, Ken Paxton is coming for you.
Thailand All coming for you, Ken View coming for you.
Johnson and Johnson.

Speaker 18 (50:04):
Major medical associations have rejected the claims that are ceedomnifit
taken by pregnant women increases the risk of autism in
their unborn children by Texas Attorney General. Ken Paxton is
sold on the idea and is suing Johnson and Johnson,
the former maker of Thailand Hall and ken View, it's
current maker, saying they willfully ignored had attempted to silence
the science around the seed of inefitt and autism.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
Did they or did they not? Good question, Ken Paxton
last night.

Speaker 23 (50:31):
So look, we're let's get what litigation now we'll be
discovering more. But we have looked at the studies showing
that taking these at a set of metaphine while you're
pregnant increases the risk of eighty HD and also other disorders,
including autism. So we are assuing them and we hopefully

(50:54):
we'll also find out from documentation they have and we're
pretty sure they have it because they already announced in
seventeen that there was a problem and they made an
effort to push this other, the sem benefit part of
their company off to a separate company and totally disassociate
trying to protect them themselves from liability, which I think
they knew they had. That's why we follow the lawsuit

(51:15):
because of the damage that's been done to potentially millions
of children across the country.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
Interesting is that true? They claim it to be true
based on a internal assessment in twenty fourteen. Whether or
not it's true, I don't know, And I continue to
say this if I'm Johnson and Johnson, Okay, I'm looking
at this saying, Okay, you know what, Let's just do this.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
Let's just get it out there, Let's do the whole thing.
Kenview as well, because ken View has the entire company
right now. They spun Kenview off because the way that
Johnson and Johnson and a lot of companies would explain
it is OTC over the counter. There's no money in it.
The margins are small, there's really nothing else going on.

(52:03):
What you see as far as your consumers is kind
of what you're getting.

Speaker 3 (52:08):
You may take a.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
Little bit more from the pie, but it's not. There's
not the growth that they see in pharmaceuticals and medical devices.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson Show, is your ex your Insta, YouTube, Facebook,
and more. If you see the show, gud the podcast
right down on the Chad Benson Show, that upside is

(52:30):
far greater than the over the counter. Plus, with the
over the counter, there is more time that you're going
to be spending in court because of litigation. I mean,
look at TALC. So this will be interesting to see
how this plays out. Let me know what you think.
Is this a good thing a bad thing? Do you
think it causes autism? EIGHTYHD?

Speaker 3 (52:49):
That's a new one.

Speaker 2 (52:49):
I thought it was just autism and now it's the ADHD.
I should ask my mom, Hey, mom, did you take
tailan all when you were pregnant with me? And she's like, now,
I just smoke and drank like the rest of us.
There's pictures of how many of you probably listening have
pictures when you go back and you're like looking at
you know, pictures of your family and you're like, mom,
are you pregnant with me?

Speaker 5 (53:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (53:10):
Is that a drink in your hand and a smoke? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (53:13):
We didn't know. Oh, okay, you didn't know. Speaking of drugs,
alcohol and whatnot. As we continue obesity down, guess what
else is down? Diabetes?

Speaker 24 (53:25):
What? According to a self reported Gallup poll, obesity rates
in the United States have dropped for the first time
in fifteen years, driven by the surge in GLP one medications.
Numbers show fifteen percent of women and just under ten
percent of men are on drugs like ozempic and Munjaro,
more than double the number who said they use them
just last year. Researchers say the use of those drugs

(53:45):
has helped lower the nation's obesity rate from nearly forty
percent in twenty twenty two to thirty seven percent today.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
Every pound counts, and the opportunities there to take it,
you will, but remember there's side effects and something you've
always got to remember. Every one of these things we're
talking about, tail and all everything. Just wats the end
of one of those commercials, the commercials a minute long
of which forty five seconds is talking about all the
horrible things that.

Speaker 3 (54:08):
May happen to you by taking a drug.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Show's Your Extuer, Instant YouTube and more.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
Half a Wednesday. It is the Chad Benson.

Speaker 25 (54:17):
Show, Fun Chad Benson Show, The.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (54:42):
It is Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
And normally we've played a few of these by now,
but we've got to get to it.

Speaker 3 (54:47):
We call it white Woman Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (54:49):
This is when white women decide to tell us how
horrible US men usually are.

Speaker 3 (54:56):
Some of it may be true. Not gonna lie to you.
There's some men out there that suck.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
There's some women out there that's as well, but most
of the time it's just hilarity, and it's uber progressive
white women telling us all the things that are wrong
with us. And I will tell you, the whole thing
about the progressive white woman is real. If you didn't see,
there was a great article it was in I think
it was in the Financial Times, might have been about
why when they showed all the pictures of the crowds

(55:21):
at the No Kings event, seventy five percent of them
were twenty to fifty year old white women. And this
psychoanalyst psychologists person said, the reason that you find that
it is mostly educated white women who are taking part

(55:44):
in something like No Kings and the way it is
because it's built in emotion. They want to blow steam
off and it doesn't really accomplish anything, but it's like
a it's just like a big bitch fest.

Speaker 3 (55:57):
Now that's him. Do I think that's true? That's true?
I think it is. I mean, let's be real.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
You know, James Carvill, you guys remember what he said
about the Democrat Party, which is the reason they're struggling
is we get too many over educated white women who
dominate the conversation in the party. And that's him saying it,
not me, although I agree pretty much with a vast

(56:25):
majority of that. And if you're like, h no, it's
just it is when you listen to like, we play
this stuff kind of as a joke because it's funny,
but I will tell you, go, look, a vast majority
of the people that are uber progressive are young, educated

(56:47):
women who push this feelings narrative of ridiculousness, and when
you listen to them, it is so based in feelings,
very few things based on fact, and so much of
what they're fighting for in reality would never affect them,
and they feel like they're doing something when they're just

(57:08):
what are you doing? You're not helping a party any
which is fine, I.

Speaker 3 (57:11):
Mean the beauty.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
The reason the Republicans continue to win is because they
don't have anything to worry about when it comes to
whether or not the Democrats are going to be competent,
not when you've got whack of dudes leading your party
or whack of goals.

Speaker 3 (57:25):
If you will take a listen, if.

Speaker 26 (57:27):
We don't want to lose young women to altright indoctrination.
In the same way we lost young men. We need
to be very careful, cognizant and critical of trends that
can lead to the alt right pipeline, because while these
things aren't inherently conservative or dare I say, even fascist,
sometimes they can be the starting point for a very
slippery slope. So here are the top alt right rabbit
holes for women that I think we need to be
cognizant of and educate around clean beauty and clean eating.

(57:49):
While opting for more natural ingredients and your skincare and
food seems fairly harmless, you can quickly slide down the
slope to the alt right by engaging in content around
distrust and regulatory bodies, anti vacks, conspiracies around big pharma,
and next thing you know, you think you're making America healthy.

Speaker 27 (58:04):
Again, trab life content.

Speaker 26 (58:05):
While this starts off as romanticizing homemaking, this quickly can
slide into a conversation about promoting very rigid gender norms,
anti femonism and ideologies that contribute to Christian nationalism and
white supremacy, skinny talk and diet culture. All this starts
as fitness routines and feeling your best. The slippery slope
to assigning moral superiority to thinness, which then can slide
pretty quickly into eugenics.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
There's your progressive Oh, by the way, she's not done.
We got more from her. I mean, the crazy continues.
So being fit slips into thin culture, which slips into geugenics,
a moral superiority. How did we get here?

Speaker 26 (58:44):
Continue home setting and homeschooling, and listen, I have a
care at tattoo. So while gardening, being closer to our
food sources, and taking a hands on rule in your
child's education is great, it can quickly lead.

Speaker 27 (58:55):
To mistrust and institutions overall.

Speaker 26 (58:57):
A mistrust in public schooling, like public schooling is good enough,
just lead to classism, racism.

Speaker 27 (59:02):
I feel this is extra important.

Speaker 26 (59:04):
Because of the attacks on the Department of Education right now,
this problem is just gonna get worse. New Age spirituality,
tarot crystals, all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 27 (59:11):
Make sure I'm passionate about this.

Speaker 26 (59:12):
Make sure that people selling you your crystals aren't quan
on people.

Speaker 27 (59:16):
Once I spent like two hundred dollars in a crystal.

Speaker 26 (59:17):
Store, and then I went home and looked at the
shop and realized that she was like a great awakening
weirdo this is all anti Semitic conspiracy whack job board,
and it's rampant in the spirituality space.

Speaker 18 (59:33):
I don't even know what to say.

Speaker 2 (59:35):
Dude, I bought my crystals and they're broke. That person
took advantage of me. Yeah, I bought them, and I
didn't know that they were the white supremacist qan on.
You know, they look like a normal whackado hippie smelled
it pachuli, right. I thought these were genuine crystals, and
I've been trying. I've been banging on them. They don't

(59:57):
take batteries. I don't know what to do with my crystals.

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
That right there should say you have nothing to say
to me of interest.

Speaker 26 (01:00:04):
Last one, soft life living and like feminine energy. Well,
there's some important conversations here around rejecting hustle culture and
rest just quickly leads to ideas about women needing to
submit to their husband.

Speaker 27 (01:00:15):
Back to these really traditional gender roles.

Speaker 26 (01:00:17):
And before you get on out of my comments, like
I said, enjoying and engaging in these things aren't inherently
like conservative or all right.

Speaker 27 (01:00:24):
I mean some of them kind of are.

Speaker 26 (01:00:25):
But you know, we need to be cognizant of how
these can open doorways to rabbit holes, and once the
algorithm kind of attaches on to you, it's slowly going
to feed you more and more intense and more and
more extremist rhetoric and ideology. It is imperative we educate
young women around this.

Speaker 3 (01:00:42):
Okay, thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
Wow you lost me at my crystal ston't work because
the person I bought him from was qan On.

Speaker 4 (01:00:53):
Cham.

Speaker 3 (01:00:54):
Why do you make fun of the lefty and they
never make fun of the right, I mean front of
the right all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
I will say I have I call Trump out more
than probably anybody out there for the most part.

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
There are a few others to do.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
But I also support him and things that I think
he's done well and things that he hasn't I'll call
him out on. And when he just ridiculously lies, you know,
like not lies as in, you know, I think we're
going to bring back twelve million jobs and we brought
back ten million jobs, you know, Or I think.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
The things that he said, it's the greatest, It's never
been greater. I'm the greatest. It's you know, just stuff
that's so over the top. And then I hear people go, yeah,
that's true, and I'm like, wow, what's wrong with you?
So I call everybody out and I'll continue to do so.
And I've been calling this out for a while.

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
His third term, which Steve Bannon is pushing, And part
of that is because Steve Bannon's relevance to what he
does diminishes.

Speaker 3 (01:01:54):
If Trump isn't there.

Speaker 4 (01:01:56):
He's going to get a third term. So Trump twenty eight.

Speaker 28 (01:01:58):
Trump is going to be president twenty eight and people
just sort to get accommodated with that.

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
So what about the twenty second Amendment?

Speaker 3 (01:02:04):
There's many different alternatives.

Speaker 28 (01:02:06):
At the appropriate time, we'll lay out what the plan is.

Speaker 4 (01:02:08):
But there's a plan.

Speaker 28 (01:02:09):
We had longer odds in sixteen and longer odds in
twenty four than we got in twenty eight, and President
Trump will be the president of United States and the
country needs him to be president United States. We have
to finish what we started. Trump is a vehicle. I
know this will drive you guys crazy, but he's a
vehicle of divine prophetence.

Speaker 3 (01:02:27):
He's an instrument.

Speaker 28 (01:02:28):
He's very imperfect, he's not churchy, not particularly religious, but
he's an instrument of divine will. And you could tell
this of how how he's pulled this off. We need
him for at least one more term, right, and he'll
get that in twenty eight.

Speaker 3 (01:02:43):
At least one more term.

Speaker 2 (01:02:44):
You guys should be as surprised that he didn't say
we should be like the guy from Cameroon who got
re elected over the weekend. Their president, by the way,
just turned ninety two. It's an eight year term. He's
been president since eighty five. Don't give banned any ideas.

Speaker 3 (01:02:59):
Speaking of idea, it's the is it possible? Could he
be president? Is there any way he could do it?

Speaker 29 (01:03:07):
The twenty second Amendment is about ninety nine point eight
percent clear, but let me just explain the zero point
two percent where it's maybe not clear. I'm not endorsing this.
I think it will fail, but let me explain where
that zero point two percent is coming from. The twenty
second Amendment says no person shall be elected to president
more than twice. But there's arguably a difference between elected

(01:03:28):
and be the president or service president.

Speaker 20 (01:03:30):
So that gives rise to this theory.

Speaker 29 (01:03:32):
Maybe he'll run is the vice president, and then the
president will resign. However, you then have to look at
the twelfth Amendment, which says if you're ineligible to be president,
you're ineligible to be vice president. But the response to that,
and this is where I think it really gets ridiculous,
is ineligible just means the thirty five years old natural
born US citizen and fourteen years of residents in the
United States. So it's one of these situations you just

(01:03:55):
wish the framers, the people who wrote, well, this is
a later amendment, that the people who wrote the constant,
we're just a little clearer. They obviously meant you can't
be the president twice, but they didn't quite say I
think it loses in court. I don't want to encourage this,
but that's the legal hook that people are hanging on.

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
That is, I mean, they're trying some you know, the
stuff I've heard from people who are super excited that
he's going to have a third term run, which he's not.

Speaker 3 (01:04:21):
He's not.

Speaker 2 (01:04:22):
I mean even Mike Johnson, although Mike Johnson is whipped,
you know, he's just he's a clown. But the reality
is is they're all terrified to stand up to him. No,
we have the twenty second amend we have the twelfth Amendment,
and you are not going to run. And the thing

(01:04:44):
that Really that pisses me off about this is I
hear from a lot of people that'll say no, there's
no way you can run, but they won't say it
out loud because the fear factor is they're going to
get kicked out of the club. The tribe is going
to get rid of them.

Speaker 3 (01:05:01):
We're gonna get kicked out. I can't say that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:03):
No, And by the way, I think a vast majority
of Republicans would absolutely rise up and say, no, this
is not happening, No, this isn't going to take place.
Everybody seems to think that he's just gonna build a
bunker and he's never going anywhere. He's gonna stay there forever.
And and you know that Republicans and everybody are gonna
be fine that he's even just gonna call off elections

(01:05:24):
and just declare himself king, as if everybody on the
right would go ooh, that's totally fine. Oh you'll get
some wackadoos out there that we'll think that. But no,
as much as he teases, it's a troll.

Speaker 26 (01:05:38):
You know.

Speaker 14 (01:05:38):
The sad thing is I have my highest numbers that
I've ever had, as I should. I ended eight bars
and we have the greatest economy in history. And by
the way, energy prices are way down. Everything's way down.
Beef is a little bit high. We're going to get
beef down to but prices are down and the economy
is up. The only thing that's not down is the
stock prices. And the four O one case are through

(01:06:02):
the roof everyone's moor O one case any records.

Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
So we have the.

Speaker 14 (01:06:06):
Greatest economy we've ever had. I have my highest ball
numbers that I've ever had, and you know, based on
what I read, I guess I'm not allowed to run.
So we'll see what happens.

Speaker 18 (01:06:16):
If you're trotting when you talk about a third term, Well,
I don't think. I don't think.

Speaker 14 (01:06:20):
I don't think he said that. I don't think he'd
just sent her.

Speaker 3 (01:06:23):
But uh, it's a very interesting thing.

Speaker 14 (01:06:26):
I have the best numbers for any president in many years,
any president, and I would say that if you read it,
it's pretty clear I'm not allowed to run. Stupid I
missed him, But we have a lot of great people.

Speaker 3 (01:06:41):
He knows he can't run. He understands that.

Speaker 2 (01:06:43):
He trolls because he gets a lot out of it,
because it pisses off the left in the media.

Speaker 3 (01:06:49):
But he knows he can't do it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
Does it mean there's others who don't want him to
because they enjoy the power that he has because they're
able to run with it. But the reality is he
can't and he shouldn't even think about it, But he'll
continue to troll and, quite frankly, even if they.

Speaker 3 (01:07:07):
Told him he could. I think he's at the point
in his life where he's like, no, I want to
hang out with my family.

Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
I'm kind of over this. It's time for me to
move on. Let somebody else run this thing. Three two, three, five,

(01:12:18):
Coming up, our number three of the program talk to
My Uncle last night, I'm want to play some of
it part of our podcast that we did, and a
lot of it was about AI. And we hear all
the negatives obviously yesterday with what has gone down with
Amazon announcing their moves and saying, look, this is because
of AI.

Speaker 3 (01:12:38):
What we hear all the negatives?

Speaker 2 (01:12:40):
Are there positives when it comes to the future jobs,
things of that nature or is this one of those
things where we've created our own demise. Talk a bit
about that. We've got our Scary movie Countdown.

Speaker 3 (01:12:51):
Number three today.

Speaker 2 (01:12:52):
We give it the full treatment as well. I mean,
this is the full treatment. Plus we've got what's trending,
a bunch of other stuff. You're missing the show Shame
and you've got to podcast our number three straight ahead.

Speaker 3 (01:13:01):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 4 (01:13:02):
Chad, this is.

Speaker 1 (01:13:03):
The Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
The Genie's out of the bottle and it's never going back.
I'm talking about artificial intelligence. And yesterday, you know job apocalypse, right,
the job ageddon that took place that people are talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:13:49):
You got all of these people that.

Speaker 2 (01:13:50):
Are going to be losing their jobs at Amazon, some
thirty thousand people losing their gig at Amazon. They're going
to start with fourteen thousand. But this is all middle management, right,
the robots are coming later. This isn't today that nightmare
of robots coming to take over everything.

Speaker 3 (01:14:11):
That's coming later on.

Speaker 2 (01:14:14):
But the reality is it's not just Amazon, JP, Morgan,
Walmart Accenture.

Speaker 3 (01:14:21):
All cutting.

Speaker 2 (01:14:24):
All cutting doesn't mean they're not successful, doesn't mean they're
not growing. They're cutting and it's going to continue to
move in that direction. And all we ever hear is
the horrible things a lot of times that's going to
happen with AI.

Speaker 3 (01:14:43):
Is all of it true?

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
Yeah, some of it is one hundred percent true. So
yesterday I was talking to my buddy Ken, he is
our news director, kind of like my sidekick in the
local show they do at hair in Nashville, and we
were chatting and he said to me, because he knows
that I have a company that does AI, my uncle
and I have companies that do AI.

Speaker 3 (01:15:05):
We work together.

Speaker 2 (01:15:06):
And he says to me, says, Chad, you you talk
about this all the time, and I've been talking about
for years. You're listen to show. I'veen talking about it
for for a very long time. I said, Yeah, here's
you understand it pretty good?

Speaker 3 (01:15:16):
I said, I do. I work in it every single day.
He says, is there good that's coming?

Speaker 2 (01:15:21):
I said, yes, and a lot of that good we
will not know what it is because it hasn't been
created yet in the world of jobs. But before we
get to that point, are we going to feel some pain?

Speaker 32 (01:15:39):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:15:42):
And I put it to him last night, I said, Paul,
because we and you can go check out our entire podcast.
It's you know, we talk about all kinds of stuff,
but a lot of it is really hyper focused on
this world now where incomes AI and and out goes

(01:16:02):
everybody's job. And are we going to have to get
to a point where it's gonna be the haves and
the have nots.

Speaker 3 (01:16:09):
I'm here to tell you not to be a naysayer.
It's gonna be for a while.

Speaker 2 (01:16:13):
There's gonna be a chance you may see super halves
like those movies where the spaceship floats above the planet
that doesn't have anything. I mean that sounds like, oh
my god, is that possible. I think there is a
chance for that. Now, governments and the way they react
to AI, because you can't dismiss AI, that's not possible.

(01:16:35):
It's the world we're in. And that's also the world
where battles are going to be won and loss. But
that being said, how they approach it when it comes
to the workers is different than militarily and security, so
I understand why people are worried. So it plays some
of what we talked about last night. And again, my

(01:16:56):
uncle is one of the pre eminent cats in.

Speaker 3 (01:17:01):
The world of design and doing stuff for AI and
we do our podcast together.

Speaker 2 (01:17:10):
We have a lot of fun doing all this kind
of stuff, but we have other stuff we do and
he's you know, creatively, you know, just a different world
that he lives into the average person, like World of Warcraft, Diablo,
all of those were a vast majority of those were him.
I mean, if you're playing those video games like Diablo Ethereal,
who's kind of the star with the angel with no face,
that's him. That's him when he was a kid, he

(01:17:32):
drew that. So here's some conversation from my uncle and
one of the preeminent AI guys from Fatty Acid and
a bunch of other companies. This is I think it's
important that we talk about AI and this is our
conversation last night with Paulomane. When I was talking to
my buddy, our news guy, he readily admit, hey, this

(01:17:54):
makes it so much easier for me.

Speaker 3 (01:17:55):
Because he writes news. He goes it rarely is it
ever wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:17:58):
I prove read it, rewrite a little bit here there
to make it more news ready. But it's made my
job a thousand times easier. But then he goes, I
recognize it's probably gonna take my job one day, and
I'm like, and he goes, but we hear all this
great stuff. He goes, you know what I don't hear
and even from the Altman's of the world or anything else,
that it's going to do humanity any good as far

(01:18:21):
as the jobs. Because the job it may do it
good in five years, but between now and five years.

Speaker 13 (01:18:28):
It's a blood bath. For now. Yeah, it's gonna be
a blood bath.

Speaker 34 (01:18:30):
And the economies, all the world economies are gonna have
to figure out how they balance. The really poor countries
are gonna end up doing the best in this transfer.

Speaker 3 (01:18:39):
Period because they got nothing going on.

Speaker 34 (01:18:40):
They got nothing. Seriously, they've got nothing going on. If
you're raising some goats and picking some you know, apple trees,
guess what we will be completely a blood bath of
our industries. You'll still be raising your goats and picking
your apples, and life will be going on the amish,
It'll be Tuesday.

Speaker 13 (01:18:56):
It won't change the thing.

Speaker 34 (01:18:58):
But for mostess so I see the biggest problem is
if I'm a lawyer, I have usually enough wherewithal to
figure out another line of business that I could I
could do or something else, because I had enough education
and enough enough you know, you know, intellect to be
able to swift and change in turn to make sure

(01:19:18):
that I can live in this new world. If I'm
working at the deli or at the McDonald's, or some
of these simple jobs like even like dispatch or something,
what are my talent set?

Speaker 13 (01:19:29):
I'll have to go to school. I'll have to do.

Speaker 34 (01:19:32):
Something that allows me to learn another skill that again
might be obsolete.

Speaker 2 (01:19:37):
And five, well it hits the other thing. What skill
are you going to learn that isn't going to be replaced?

Speaker 34 (01:19:43):
Plumbing, janitorial, most not all construction, but a lot of construction, electrician.
I still think humans want to make sure there are
electricity is wired correctly. That'll be a while. Basically the
manual labor jobs because even in the entertainment industry we
were just watching which basically it's now storyboarding and creating

(01:20:04):
the stories from scratch.

Speaker 13 (01:20:06):
Now they're not all that good, but it just started.

Speaker 34 (01:20:08):
Yeah, so like, you know, you're not gonna be able
to compete with someone sitting down and being able to
play the game they literally want. They just said, hey,
you know, Jarvis, I want to play Fortnite, but with aliens.

Speaker 13 (01:20:23):
There you go Fortnite with aliens. Now.

Speaker 34 (01:20:25):
The good thing is the people that created the IP
can still make money. So if I'm a guy that
created like aliens, like literally the xenomorph alien, I can say, well,
people like what I created, if you want to use
it in your generative content, you just pay me a royalty.
I put the labor in to create something that the
market understands and likes, so I'll be able to So

(01:20:47):
Bruce Lee, John Wayne, all these people that people like,
they're gonna see a revenue jump because if they're smart,
they'll say, just license me. Yeah, yes, you want to
see Bruce Lee fight. You know, God's olla cool. You
pay me a little fee. It costs you, you know,
five ninety nine to watch that move make that movie,

(01:21:07):
and everybody's everybody's happy.

Speaker 13 (01:21:10):
The netflixes are happy.

Speaker 2 (01:21:12):
The established The issue is the average person's not going
to have five ninety nine. Well, there's the issue. I
don't care what you create. If you can't nobody can
afford it.

Speaker 34 (01:21:24):
Well, this is why creating a subservient race, which is
kind of what we did. We created a subservient intellect
that can outperform its creator, is a danger. Yeah, I
mean that's what they're That's what everybody's talking about. Goes,

(01:21:45):
at what point will this thing be smarter than I
could ever be?

Speaker 13 (01:21:48):
All of us?

Speaker 34 (01:21:48):
I don't care if you're Elon Musk or whoever. You
be the smartest man in the world, and this thing
smarter than you are, you become the pet. There's just
no other way around it where you become kind of
why do I want to listen to the inferior being
what I'm smarter than it is?

Speaker 2 (01:22:06):
I saw this episode on A Family Guy when he
created that robot, then it got smarter than it, created
two other robots, and then made Stewie's pet.

Speaker 3 (01:22:13):
You know how they finished that. They just poured water
on it.

Speaker 13 (01:22:17):
I have to do is unplug.

Speaker 34 (01:22:19):
We just unplug, and then you know, and it all
goes all of it goes away, and then we have
to get off our asses.

Speaker 13 (01:22:26):
And get back to work.

Speaker 3 (01:22:27):
But we don't know what work is.

Speaker 13 (01:22:28):
It's already happening.

Speaker 34 (01:22:29):
I was just reading an article about how a lot
of these g Z kids are just giving up, so
it's just going to exasperate that problem.

Speaker 4 (01:22:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 34 (01:22:39):
Now I can set on my ass and play video
games and my robot, which are getting down to be
about ten grand in the next couple of years. So
anybody can buy a robot to do their housework if
they want. My robot does my housework, so I don't
have to live in a pig Stye. AI gives me
all my answer, so I don't have to really use
my brain. I set on my couch, getting McDonald is

(01:23:00):
delivered to me by another robot, and you know, play
a video game which was also made by a robot
or at AI.

Speaker 3 (01:23:06):
Yeah, but how do you afford anything? But well, it's
gonna be a universal base. You know what.

Speaker 2 (01:23:12):
If I'm if I'm a government, I'm coming out right
now and I'm saying, look, here's the deal. All this
stuff is great, We're going to tax the shit out
of it if you're using AI on everything, because we're
going to have to be able to keep some people
employed otherwise we'll have nobody employed and everybody will be
at the teat of our government and will be broke af.

Speaker 3 (01:23:34):
You only need so many plumbers.

Speaker 13 (01:23:36):
You only need so many plumbers.

Speaker 2 (01:23:38):
It's scary, no doubt. And that's just a portion of
what we talked about. If you want go over to
at Chadminton show YouTube and check it out. AI is
not going anywhere, and you know it is coming for everything,
and yes, it will provide some amazing stuff. The question
is when, and you know that that's why I said

(01:24:00):
there in my language, you heard it, but I beeped it,
which was at some point do you think they come
in and they say, all right, we can't have nobody
working because there's got to be able to have a
tax revenue and a base because nobody can spend money
if they don't have money. We can't tax if they
don't have money. So it was really interesting. Conversation went

(01:24:21):
on for about an hour. Like I said, go check
it out, and you know there is a dystopian kind
of feel in some areas. We also talked about how

make sure you god the podcast right here on The Chad

the funding together one by one without actually having anything passed.

Speaker 3 (01:29:13):
That's what I feel.

Speaker 2 (01:29:14):
Jamaica Melissa World Series, Riley Gaines and AOC are battling
over something. I'm not quite sure exactly what it is
because it feels very high schoolish.

Speaker 3 (01:29:23):
Has something to do with swimming.

Speaker 4 (01:29:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:29:27):
I think AOC said something about Riley Gaines tying Lea
Thomas in a swimming contest, and you know it's I
don't it's very much high school. I'm like, I don't care,
and I know, you know what, in my industry, this

(01:29:49):
is like a big deal, like people care, and I'm
one of those people who don't care. I don't who cares.
Leah Thomas shouldn't have been swimming against the women. It's simple.

Speaker 2 (01:30:02):
You can call yourself a woman all you want, but
you know your your engine says that you're a dude.
We're moving on with ourselves. There you go, there you go,
We're all moving on with ourselves. And by the way,
can we just say this because Riley lives out here,
and I will say, as I've said a lot of times,
the best thing that's ever happened to Riley was Leah

(01:30:24):
Thomas could easily make that argument. Her fame came because
she stood up to something that was ridiculous that she
should never had to stand up to and or compete.
With that being said, she's she's turned a situation into
a windfall.

Speaker 3 (01:30:40):
How dare you say the truth?

Speaker 2 (01:30:42):

Show, Son, Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
All right, we are counting down the greatest horror movies
of all time, and we are down to the final three.
And these ones are iconic. There's nothing else you can
say about.

Speaker 3 (01:31:32):
Them, from the note that you hear to just the
mention of them.

Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
You recognize exactly who they are and the impact that
they have had, not just in the world of horror,
but in society and the entertainment industry all together.

Speaker 15 (01:31:54):
The time has come, so prepare yourself for a journey
of fear from the darkest corner of cinema, the most
bone chilling.

Speaker 3 (01:32:04):
Tales ever told. It's the countdown you've been waiting for.
Number three, Number three today. Number three.

Speaker 2 (01:32:18):
Gave us stars, turned a director who was twenty seven
into the biggest director arguably of all time, and was
the first summer blockbuster movie of all time. Ladies and gentlemen,

(01:32:38):
number three, All you have to say is Jaws.

Speaker 16 (01:32:45):
There is a creature alive today who has survived millions
of years of evolution.

Speaker 4 (01:32:52):
Without change, without passion, and without logic.

Speaker 16 (01:32:58):
It lives to kill. A mindless eating machine.

Speaker 4 (01:33:06):
It will attack and devour anything.

Speaker 16 (01:33:12):
It is as if God created the devil and gave
him Jaws.

Speaker 3 (01:33:19):
Oh, just amazing. Jaws is.

Speaker 2 (01:33:26):
Incredible. It is terrifying. It is a movie that, look,
it changed everything. First of all, in the entertainment world.
It changed everything. There was no summer blockbusters prior to this,
and there was no movies released nationwide Prior to this,

(01:33:48):
I don't think people realized Jaws was the first one
hundred million dollar movie, and it was the first movie
released nationwide for everybody, and it was incredible and a
pain in the ass to everybody who worked on the movie.
Jaws opened up on June twentieth, nineteen seventy five, A

(01:34:12):
movie that was only supposed to take fifty five days
to shoot in the open ocean on Matha's vineyard ended
up being well one hundred days longer than that and
well over budget.

Speaker 3 (01:34:27):
But we'll get to that in a second. The movie itself.

Speaker 2 (01:34:33):
Came from a book written by Peter Benchley entitled the
same name, Jaws, And when they started the movie, they
had no script. By the way, when they started filming it,
they also didn't have a shark, which was kind of
pain in the ass for everybody. Carl Gottlieb was a

(01:34:55):
friend of Peter Benchley, and he hated what they were
doing to the script. So he was a script writer
and he said, hey, take a look at this.

Speaker 17 (01:35:07):
Stephen sent me with a note on the cover that
said he viscerated in viscerated it, and I wrote a
lengthy memo a.

Speaker 18 (01:35:14):
Lot of details.

Speaker 17 (01:35:14):
Yeah, I say, if we do our jobs right, people
will feel about going in the water the way they
felt about taking the shower after Psycho.

Speaker 2 (01:35:24):
And they did their jobs right. They rewrote the movie
on numerous occasions, and at times they even ad libbed
parts because they had these amazing actors who will get
to in a second.

Speaker 17 (01:35:38):
We were blessed with a cast that could kind of
ad lib in character.

Speaker 4 (01:35:43):
You're got to need a bigger poach.

Speaker 17 (01:35:46):
Most actors, if you say, ad lib makes their part bigger.
But people were living relatively selflessly. When I spotted something
potentially funny, or if there was a humor in something,
I would say, Stephen, think we got after if we
changed a line.

Speaker 3 (01:36:02):
Stephen was always responsive to that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:36:05):
And Stephen was exhausted. He wanted to quit the movie
several times, but he didn't. He stuck it out, realizing
that the budget that was originally four million ballooned to
nine million. But don't worry, they made almost five hundred
million dollars. John Williams wrote the score and won an
Academy Award for it. He actually changed it to which
you hear mmmm. The shark finally came and boy was

(01:36:30):
at a waste of time. Bruce was his name, named
after Steven Spielberg's lawyer. It sank on numerous occasions. Theater
of the Mind is what really made this movie what
it was, and it was Theater of the mind, and
it was terrifying, absolutely terrifying. When they showed the movie originally,

(01:36:52):
the first test audience screamed too early in one of
the big tense scenes with Ben Gardner and his boat.
Spiller then went and re edited. How did he do that? Simple?
He went over to Vera Fields. She's the Academy Award
winning editor. She had a swimming pool. They went into
her backyard that had milk powder, and then they reshot

(01:37:17):
the scene where he goes and pulls the tooth out
of the boat Richard Dreyfuss and Ben Gardner's head pops out,
which terrified everybody. What was funny about that is it
ruined her pool. But one of the other things that
Spielberg talked about he used to go to the theater
in the first couple of weeks to watch the reaction
of the people, and once that was done, he would leave.

(01:37:39):
One of the other things that helped the film in
a weird way, was just before the film's release, there
was a series of shark attacks near Cape cod which
grabbed national attention, making Universal's marketing team very happy. Some
of the newspapers put things like dark menace strikes coast

(01:38:02):
just like in Jaws. The movie hadn't come out yet
people had seen it. Spielberg struggles though he said it
added ten years to his life, and that was just
from the filming, let alone. What was going on off
the set. You had great actors Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss,

(01:38:24):
Loraene Gray, and Roy Scheider. The interesting thing about the
rest of what you saw in the movie, the people,
those were all locals that they used. But the battle
off camera was huge. Roy Scheider was not easy to

(01:38:47):
work with. Loreen Gray said on many occasions that you know,
whoever interviewed her was closer to her than he was
in the movie, and they were supposed to be married.
On top of that, you had Richard Dreyfus in Shaw,
and they fought NonStop. Shaw was a legendary drinker and

(01:39:09):
he partied hard. In fact, the great scene of the
Indianapolis where he gives a speech, the first time he
did it, he was so drunk and it was awful.
He called Spielberg the next day and said, I want
to do it again, and it became one of the
most legendary, and I do mean legendary scenes in movie history.

(01:39:30):
Richard Dreyfus not easy to work with celebrating the fifty
anniversary and has come to accept Jaws and its greatness.
One of the things that he talked about is he
didn't want to do the movie. Spielberg asked him on
several occasions, and he's like, nah, I don't want to
do the movie. You see, Dreyfus had done America Graffiti

(01:39:53):
was kind of a heart throb. Then he did another
movie after that.

Speaker 3 (01:39:58):
That movie was.

Speaker 2 (01:39:58):
Called The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz. Now, Dreyfuss saw the
movie and said to himself, I'll never work again if
anybody sees this movie, So I better do something else.
And he called Spielberg and said, hey, I want to

(01:40:19):
do the movie. Can I do the movie? Can I
do the movie? Even though he had turned it down
on several occasions. Spielberg said absolutely. He said that was
April third and they had already started shooting. He goes,
I was on Martha's vineyard on April fourth and started
filming my parts. It was a battle though between him
and Richard Shaw. They did not like each other, and

(01:40:41):
he said Shaw had his number and absolutely eviscerated him
all the time, and he said he was in my
head all the time. The movie itself, though, was about
the shark, and it was about the.

Speaker 3 (01:40:55):
Unknown in the water.

Speaker 2 (01:40:57):
With such your mind run wild and if you seen Jaws,
as many people have. The movie starts out with Susan
Becklinny who plays Chrissy Watkins in the movie No script right.
She's partying on the beach and she decides she wants
to go skinny dipping with this guy who passes out
on the beach and she still goes out into the water.

Speaker 3 (01:41:18):
And she's torn apart by the shark.

Speaker 2 (01:41:21):
The interesting thing about that is they had pulleys on her,
so they had all these things attached to her. She
has no idea what is coming and when it's coming,
and then it happens.

Speaker 3 (01:41:55):
And once that took place and viewers watched.

Speaker 2 (01:41:59):
It, it was everybody caught up in the Jaws and
it was incredible. Like we said, it changed cinema history
in ways that people just didn't really understand. Because there
was never anything like this one hundred million dollar movie,

(01:42:20):
a blockbustered summer where everybody across the nation's getting it
at once. And fifty years later, we're still talking about
this amazing movie, the impact it had, and when you
talk about the horror aspect of it, how many of
you were afraid to go in the water.

Speaker 19 (01:42:42):
I will never walk from the beach into the water so.

Speaker 4 (01:42:48):
That the water comes up to my chest.

Speaker 19 (01:42:51):
If and when that ever happens, I'll either be dead
or in a mental institution. The fact that I can't
see what's happening underneath.

Speaker 13 (01:43:01):
Is so real to me.

Speaker 3 (01:43:03):
I can't do it. So before Jaws and after Jaws.

Speaker 19 (01:43:06):
Before Jaws, I didn't care.

Speaker 2 (01:43:09):
Richard Dreyfuss and many of us who've ever been in
the ocean, and I've been in the ocean thousands of
times growing up in southern California. There's not one time
I didn't go in the ocean where I didn't think.

Speaker 3 (01:43:23):
I wonder if. And that's the sign.

Show, serving up Talk Radio medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 1 (01:45:37):
It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (01:45:39):
As we wrap up the show. Today, government still shut down.
Not a shocker.

Speaker 8 (01:45:44):
Forty two million lower income Americans are about to lose
critical food assistance. The Department of Agriculture now saying quote
the well has run dry, and tonight, two dozen Democrat
led states suing the Trump administration to force it to
use emergency funds to cover SNAP.

Speaker 3 (01:46:00):
SNAP. Indeed, this is and they're doing what they can.

Speaker 2 (01:46:03):
Even Trump is like, all right, it's odd that they're
trying to piece meal together things they want to pay,
and SNAP being a big one, because I think he recognizes.

Speaker 3 (01:46:12):
Ooh, there's a lot of Red state people to get snapped.

Speaker 21 (01:46:15):
President Trump vowing to find a solution to help fund
the federal nutrition program SNAP. More than two dozen states
and Washington d C. Have now sued the administration after
it said it could not legally extend SNAP benefits. During
the shutdown, Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are
scrambling to fund the program before it lapses this weekend.
Forty two million people rely on the program to feed

(01:46:35):
their families.

Speaker 3 (01:46:36):
Forty two million.

Speaker 2 (01:46:37):
You heard at the beginning, you heard write there forty
two million people. And then you've got, of course, the
battle of medicare and whatnot. And you know, you're getting
several people I think are making some noise about it,
none as loud as Marjorie Taylor Green.

Speaker 21 (01:46:54):
The shutdown marching forward as Democrats remain dug in on
their demand that healthcare tax credits be extended to the
premiums from skyrocketing. In a break with our Party, Congresswoman
Marjorie Taylor Green is accusing Republicans of not having a
plan to tackle healthcare cost Hell Speaker Mike Johnson says
Republicans are willing to negotiate, but only after Democrats agreed
to reopen the government.

Speaker 2 (01:47:15):
The interesting thing is they say they have a plan,
but they don't. They have talking points. I said it
earlier and I'll echo this again. They're talking points. That's
