Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
It's a big day in the world as the President
of the United States of America heads over to meet
the other most powerful man on the planet.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Gee, where are they China? Now it's time for Trump
in China. That's right, big day Trump in China. Getting
off the plane with all the business leaders. There's a
lot of business. We're going to talk business, but we
don't need anything from you. We don't even like Ugi.

(00:50):
But I'm here anyways. Tell me about Godzilla. Oh my lord,
so Trump there today. The question is how big is this?
It's as big as they want to make it. They'll
both make it big if they want it to be,
and smaller if they want it to be. Meaning it's

(01:13):
not as important as you're making it out to be.
Or this was epic. That's what this is going to be.
And a lot of it's gonna be about AI. A
lot of it is going to be about AI business.
But the welcome he got off their plane was tremendous,
you know, like cheerleaders, a bunch of you know women

(01:34):
wearing these you know, blue like men's dressures they almost
look like with white skirts, and they had the Chinese
flag and the American flag as they wandered through, and
you know it was he got the full treatment, right,
he got the full treatment. So this will be you
know again, they'll use it for whatever they feel they

(01:57):
need to use it for. I think a lot of
people are thinking that this is going to be all
about Iran on top of AI. I don't know how
much that is going to be on the table. I
don't know, because Trump asking China for help isn't probably

(02:18):
going to go over well with the base, and it's
not going to go over well I think with him.
So I don't know, and he's already said, look, we
don't need their help. We've won the war. The war's over.
We've crushed him. It's over. We've won. It's victory, it's
ours period, case closed over. We win. But yet it
still continues to go on. Oil's continuing to be up.

(02:40):
We found out yesterday that Iran, I don't know if
you're aware of this, they've got stuff left, what seventy
percent of their.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
Munitions of their weapons according to intelligence including the CIA
said they've got about seventy percent of their stockpile left.
So we'll see how much China will embrace the opportunity

(03:15):
to maybe be the peacemaker. But as we talked to
our buddy Mike Lein Chester and Military, and she says, look,
you know, do we want to give them that? Ge
and China the opportunity to be the peacemaker?

Speaker 5 (03:28):
Right?

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Like that's the whole big thing being, you know, the
US the power being able to play a role in that.
Do we want that? Are we going to allow that?
Do they want to do that? What's in it for them?

Speaker 6 (03:44):
So?

Speaker 3 (03:45):
I don't think this is going to be as much
as about Iran as people think. I think they've already
made up their mind they're going to continue. There may
be I mean, there's probably will be some conversations about it,
but how far will it go? I don't know. I
don't think this is a lot about AI and what's
going on with AI and business. That's why he's got

(04:05):
a lot of business leaders there with him. On top
of that, he's got issues that he knows he has
to deal with here. And yesterday before he left, he
said something that if I am the Democrats, I am
running twenty four seven in every way, shape or form.
So he was asked about Iran the economy are devotiating.

Speaker 7 (04:33):
With the rhyme as the president one extent, are American
financial things maintain motivating you to make it me.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
On, not even a little bit.

Speaker 8 (04:41):
The only thing that matters is when I'm talking about Iran,
they can't have a new glue weapon.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
I don't think about.

Speaker 9 (04:48):
American financial situation.

Speaker 5 (04:50):
I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing.
We couldnt let Iran have a new glue weapon.

Speaker 10 (04:56):
That's all.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
That's the only thing.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
That's the the only thing that motivates them can have
a nuclear weapon. I don't think about America's financial situation,
Americans finance. Like I said, I would run this over
and over again, but I don't think.

Speaker 9 (05:08):
About americans financial situation.

Speaker 5 (05:12):
I don't think about anybody.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
That right there is gonna be played over and over again.
It's already oh everywhere, right front page of just about
everything Drudge. I don't think about America's financial situation at
a time when the polls are showing you should at
a time when people are pissed and angry and frustrated
because they felt they were sold a bill of goods,

(05:34):
whether it be the war Epstein, you throw all of
that in, But then you put this in the middle
of it and boom. It's ugly and the potential for
it to get uglier.

Speaker 11 (05:43):
It's growing from skyrocketing prices at the pump to all
time highs for beef. Families are feeling the pain from
the biggest jump in the cost of living in three years.
The US government says prices in April jumped three point
eight percent compared to last year. Energy prices in the
wake of the Iran war, fueling the searge.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yes, yeah, fueling it among other things. But that knock
on effect is going to happen. And you know, my
uncle sends me a picture there day. It's one hundred
dollars for him to fill up his tank. He's got
sixteen gallon tank. He's out in California. By the way,
California's about ready to really get kicked in the grundle
because the last of their Middle East oil, their Saudi oil,

(06:27):
is going to be coming soon. When that happens, it's
going to get even more expensive because it's about refining.
And we know California wants no part of refining and
refineries anywhere. They don't want to put anything new in.
So now you're going to have to have stuff shipped

(06:47):
via ships elsewhere, it's going to take longer to get there.
You're also in a situation where even if it was
refined on the East Coast, it's got to get there
and that may have to come in cars, trains. This
is not going well for him. And then you've got
a lot of other issues.

Speaker 11 (07:06):
Beef at an all time high, up fourteen point nine percent,
ground beef now more than seven dollars a pound, Tomatoes
up fifty percent, Coffee up nearly thirty percent.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Chicago shoppers feeling the pain.

Speaker 12 (07:21):
I could buy milk for a dollar ninety nine a
couple three weeks ago to twenty nine.

Speaker 13 (07:25):
Now.

Speaker 11 (07:25):
Airline fares are up more than twenty percent. By one estimate,
the American household is spending six hundred and forty two
dollars more per month for the same stuff as they
did three years ago.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
That's not a win right there. You're not winning anything
with that. And then you get to the power, the
energy crisis that people are worried about. You know, the
data centers. We sit there, we talk about the data centers,
all these things which are all important to talk about.
But as we've talked about the energy market in particular
oil market will drag everything all over.

Speaker 11 (08:01):
Energy prices in the wake of the Iran war, fueling
the search gas up twenty eight point four percent year
over year. The national average for regular now four forty
nine a gallon for diesel five sixty three a gallon.

Speaker 14 (08:15):
That's one hundred gallon, So it costs me about seven
hundred and ten dollars.

Speaker 11 (08:18):
Trucker Kyle Cameron says before the war broke out, that
same fillip would have cost him about four hundred and
sixty five dollars.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
That is, that's not sustainable if you're hoping to hold
on to the House and the Senate. Look, I'm gonna
cut Trump some slack here, even though I consistently will
criticize certain situations, but I'm gonna cut him some slack
here in the sense that you don't need to answer
everything that's that's asked, and you're in the midst of negotiation.

(08:48):
You want to show you have strength, and you're like, look,
you know, if the economy struggles, Uh, that's the price
that we've got to pay as a nation to do this.
It is short term pain, but this will be long
term game. But it sounds like, yeah, I just don't care,
and people feel that way. People are feeling it. People
are frustrated and they're angry. I talk to people every

(09:10):
single day about how these prices are absolutely crushing them.
And it's everything you can think of. It's not just
the cost of you know, a gallon of gas. It's
not just the cost of beef. It is everything. And
somebody said to me yesterday, you know, tell everybody stop

(09:33):
bitching Chad. Right, if it was a one hundred dollars
last year, it's only one hundred and three now. I'm like,
I don't think you understand how this works. It's not
one hundred and three because it went up three percent?
Is you know what you're thinking? You have to look
at it in a way of and I always try
to break it down. Just think of compound interest. If

(09:59):
a thing called lost a dollar, right, and now it's
a dollar three, what's what up three percent? Well there
you go, yes, But then you bought something else that
was two dollars and that's gone up and that's now
two oh six. And then you start adding them up
and you're like, oh, oh, I see people are feeling that.

(10:19):
It's not like you get to the register and they're like, well,
last time it was one hundred dollars, but now because
of three percent inflation, we're going to only charge you
one hundred and three. And there's a lot of people
out there that just say tell everybody to suck it up.
You're not in their position. You don't know what they're
going through, and telling them to suck it up. It's

(10:41):
not working. It's not working for a lot of reasons.
Some of it is, you know, it's just the day
to day life is getting away from them. Their dollar
and they're spending powers getting less while things continue to
rise and wages aren't following and or keeping ahead. And
in some cases, even if they can withstand the rise

(11:06):
of prices, they feel like they've been lyed to. So
we'll get deeper into what's going on in China tomorrow.
Obviously today they're gonna be talking, but tomorrow will have
more of an in depth you know, where does this
look like it's headed? Like I said, I don't know
how much Iran is going to be on the table
outside of conversations. Quietly, I don't think they're gonna play

(11:29):
that out in front of everybody, at least not right
in front of the world while they're both there. Maybe
when he gets home. But for the most part, I
think this is gonna be really about business growth. How
can they be good partners to each other? Three two, three, five,

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Ch you're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
The hantavirus currently got a bunch of people quarantined and
buy a bunch of mean eighteen no, yes, yes, and
that's here in America. Now. Most of them went to
Nebraska because they're said, you got to go to Nebraska,
Like what, Yeah, So they were sent to Nebraska. Some

(13:33):
were sent to Atlanta, Hot Atlanta. Baby of those okay,
in Nebraska Medical Center. So they've got a bio containment unit.
There are fifteen people there that are quarantined, right.

Speaker 15 (13:51):
Talc Our biggest concern with the ANDES virus will always
be about them getting sick.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
First.

Speaker 15 (13:55):
It's always about the person making sure that they stay
healthy and if they do the symptoms, they get the
best possible care in America. And then the second concern
is that they don't infect anybody else. They don't affect
a loved one, they don't affect a healthcare worker, and
obviously they don't affect anybody in this wonderful community of Omaha.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
There you go. That's a big concern right there now,
just out of curiosity. If you're sick and people see you,
is that mean that you're spreading it? How does it spread?
What about asymptomatic spreading.

Speaker 15 (14:24):
There's currently no evidence of asymptomatic spread. But against it's
important to be humble. We don't know everything about this virus. Yes,
it's been around thirty years, but you can always be
surprised with viruses, and that's why it's important to make
sure that we have really good monitoring of these individuals,
again to protect them, but to protect their loved ones.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
The interesting thing is, I think it's a forty day quarantine.
I saw a guy who was throwing some stuff out there.
He's quarantined, and he's like, I'm in a room and
I got some ice coffee. They delivered me some stuff
from Amazon so I can exercise. It got me a bike,

(15:06):
I'm gonna watch some TV. Forty days that seems like
it's a bit.

Speaker 15 (15:11):
We take really good care of the individuals who are
housed here and we call them our guests. Who are
guests here, they have lovely rooms, they have complete Internet connectivity,
they have exercise bikes and a couple of quarantines. Ago,
somebody figured out how to order delivery to the front desk.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
There you go, so out of curiosity and then this
is just me throwing it out there again, just asking
a question, who's paying for this? Just just are you?
Do you have to give them a card?

Speaker 14 (15:44):
Like?

Speaker 3 (15:44):
Do you have insurance? Not for this? I'm just I mean,
I think it's a fair question to ask. In the
day and age we're worried about money. Who's paying for this?
This is what's my Did I hit my deductible?

Speaker 16 (15:59):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (15:59):
You hit it? You smashed right through it? Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, chure X,
Insta YouTube and everything else. Love hearing from all of
you right here on the Jad Benson Show yesterday, Cash
Battel and uh Chris van Holland clash. So Patel, for
those you guys don't know, is the FBI director and

(16:23):
chief party machine.

Speaker 12 (16:25):
These are serious allegations that were made against you.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Filed you drinking Margarita's with a gang.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Actually just goes to show you running a seven thousand
dollar bar tab at the lobby bar, but has been
filed by your own office to show during.

Speaker 13 (16:40):
The day that's you.

Speaker 9 (16:42):
It's your ultimate example of apocrypy Chairman.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
I will not be tarnished by baseless allegation. Let me
coslent statements from the media.

Speaker 12 (16:49):
The fact that you mentioned that indicates you don't know
what you are talking about.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
Now you're directly.

Speaker 15 (16:56):
Only thing I know is you're the one drinking Margarita's
with film.

Speaker 12 (16:58):
Actually that's a false statement, and I'm asking you about
your statements.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
It is so performative. Remember anything in front of the camera,
it's not there for transparency. It's there because it's what
we do. We're sparring. You get that. I get that
we're trying to sell a fight. It's like when you
watch a boxing match and they go and they stand
toe to toe and the way in and they go
along and they do these things where they, you know,
talk about how they're gonna hurt the other person, what

(17:24):
they're gonna do to them, The things about it's there
to sell the fight, and that's what this is all.
Performative three two, three, five, three eight Twilve four D
twenty three hit Chid Benched shows your ex coming up.
White Woman Wednesday, we talk a little bit about that.
Plus one hit Wonder Wednesday. I Got a doozy for you,
Chad Benson Show, Fun, Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
Who's ready to have a little bit of fun with
the ladies because you know they know how to bring it.
Of course, I'm talking about the progressive white ladies. It's
not him at the coffee bar. She's not streaming from
our car fat shake so bredam GHD telling workers.

Speaker 13 (18:20):
What they ought to be.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Let me send your experience, she says again over everyone
got a friend for every human sin, but flocks you
if you don't shine in.

Speaker 12 (18:33):
It's white woman Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
That's right, you guys know what do White Woman Wednesday.
This is when white women tell us you and I
how bad we are in so many different ways. And boy,
why are they at it today? Who do we lead with?
The one? The only Kylie.

Speaker 17 (18:51):
One of the reasons my content is so effective at
calling white people out is because I'm one of them.
And as you've probably noticed, a lot of white people
will try to gaslight people of color and say, actually,
that doesn't happen, and why do you hate white people?

Speaker 1 (19:02):
You are the racist one.

Speaker 17 (19:03):
But with me, since I own one of them, actually
was raised MAGA, they cannot do that. By the way,
do not get into semantics with me, because when Trump
was first campaigning, I was like ten or eleven years old,
and my family has voted for MAGA three times now.
So yes, I was raised MAGA before MAGA had a name,
and while that campaign was ongoing. Here i am at
twenty three years old. This man is still freaking present.
The reality is I was raised Christian. I was raised

(19:24):
in an environment where the white supremacist propaganda should have worked,
and yet it didn't. Here I am encouraging other white
people to push back against the system and to stop
being afraid of these people, because white supremacy relies on
fear and subjugation, and it also relies on white people
policing other white people's behaviors in order to get them
to comply, and of turning things around on people of
color when they say, hey, this is our experiences and
saying no, that's actually not what happened. The denial of

(19:46):
objective truths is a core component of white supremacy. So
this is your sign to call out white supremacy and
racism in your family.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
There you go, She's got it all covered. If you're
maga and you're white, part of the white supremacy thing,
you just are. I don't want you to be, but
you are. You can't help. But she knows. She went
to college. She did. It's always about white supremacy. And look,
and we always need to break this down here, and
we do it on the Chepanzee show. Bigotry exists? Does

(20:16):
racism exist?

Speaker 13 (20:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (20:18):
Well, humans are humans. But remember the supremacy and the
stuff that a lot of that she's taught systematic. It's
all about, you know, the systemic racism that starts because
the system is again, let me tell you something, it's
more rich, poor, and class than color. Not saying stuff
doesn't exist, but these and and and these young educated

(20:43):
in particular women, because they tend to be the most
progressive of all, they happen to find all kinds of
things to be offended by on a daily basis. Right,
that's that's part. That's that's their identity, and on top
of all of that, they also have the luxury of
being able to do stuff like that. It's the thing

(21:06):
we talk about with the culture wars, when the Republicans
you know, always want to go to the culture wars
when all things are even absolutely, who am I going
to you know, quote unquote side with when all things
are even, who's not insane? Okay over here, if they're not,

(21:26):
they're right. But when everything is a struggle in life
and you can't pay your bills day to day, the
average person is falling further and further behind, life is
seeming to get away from them. They're working hard, but
they can't seem to get ahead. They're frustrated and angry.
They have told all these things are going to happen,
and they're not happening. And they put way too much

(21:48):
faith into somebody that they shouldn't have done that too,
And oh my goodness, now they're like angry and pissed,
and they don't care about which bathroom somebody uses. They
care about the cost of fuel. Can they feed their kids?
Can they make sure that they have enough gas in
the car? What thing are they going to have to
you know, put off for a couple of weeks to

(22:08):
pay to the next check because they can't afford it. Now,
those culture wars arguments for the Republicans great, when all
things are even. For the Democrats, they've turned it into
identity amongst a young group of people that are going
to be the next wave potentially of the party, which

(22:29):
means they're going to lose a vast majority of the base.
And it's because of privilege that you're able to complain.
Like I say, if you can't afford life, right, if
you're a twenty three year old single mother working two jobs,
you don't have the privilege to worry about pronouns. You

(22:52):
gotta pay bills. And the same thing goes for the Republicans.
You're not going to get her vote by talking about
how you're going to deny somebody the opportunity to play
in girls' sports even though they're a physically they're a boy.
They don't care about that, you know what they care
about the cost of eggs, the cost of milk, the

(23:13):
cost of gas. Being in this country, we're able to
be able to bitch about a lot of stuff. Why
because we got it so good. I mean, we really
do have first world problems. Doesn't mean we don't have problems,
But to think about if your biggest issue is culture
war stuff, you're doing okay, you're doing okay. Meanwhile, we

(23:34):
move over to our girl yess. Also, racism white.

Speaker 6 (23:37):
Supremacy is not just individual prejudice. It is a system
that organizes power to consistently favor white people and today's
So the Queen Court case is exactly what that looks
like in practice. In Louisiana verse Calai, the Court basically
made it harder to challenge voting maps that dilute black
political power.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
So think of it like this.

Speaker 6 (23:55):
Louisiana has a rich black population in history, Louisiana's culture, music, food,
political organizing, it's all been shaped by black communities. But
when it comes to representation, voting maps can be drawn
so that power doesn't reflect that reality. So even if
black residents make up a large share of the population,
these maps can prevent that from translating to equitable political representation,

(24:16):
concentrating power elsewhere and in practice benefiting white voters.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Oh there you go. Who, there's a lot there. She's
not done though, she's not. So we're getting this all again,
all white supremacy, all based on color scan things of
that nature.

Speaker 13 (24:31):
I think this is where.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
People white people get confused.

Speaker 6 (24:34):
Some people hear voting rights and think, oh, well, your
rights haven't been taken away. You can still vote, each
get one vote. But the issue is about whose votes
get translated into representation. How are these maps drawn to
strategically dilute certain communities collective vote and political power, because
that is a practice that is happening. And when maps
are drawn to consistently weaken the political power of black communities,

(24:55):
that is systemic racism. And for white people, even if
we don't think we hold individual prejudice, we have to
be honest about how these systems, systems of white supremacy
benefit us and be willing to push back against them
at every turn.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
And as we talk about the voting right thing, it's
important right, redistricting, jerrymandering, that's a serious conversation to have
and we should be the One thing that I think
a younger generation doesn't understand, and people on the left
in particular don't understand, is they don't care what color

(25:35):
skin you are, They don't care what you identify as.
All they care about is will you vote for them.
I've said this for years and I maintain it. If
here in Tennessee as they redraw the maps, and the
map they draw happen to only have black or indigenous

(26:00):
people who identified as two spirit with twelve different genders,
and they thems in that district. Yet they all voted Republicans.
Do you think the Republicans are going to be like, No,
it's okay, I don't want that. It's the vote that matters,
not the color of the skin. It doesn't mean that
they can't dilute it, but they're looking for the check.

(26:24):
Yes for me and ignore them. Three two, three, five, eight,
twenty four to twenty three acts you had Benson Show

Hit Wonder Wednesday straight ahead Chad Benson.

Speaker 18 (28:08):
Shoe serving up talk radio medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
That's one of our favorite things we do each and
every single week. Here we delve deep inside of a
one hit Wonder, hence the reason it's called One Hit
Wonder Wednesday. This is where we look at a song
and an artist and break down their hit. In some cases,

(28:46):
they've got hits all over the world, but only one
time do they manage to break in to the US.
In other cases, this is it for them. They don't
have anything else, doesn't matter where you go in the world.
And today's ban Oh. They're fun, they're crazy, and they're
one hit makes you bounce. Now it's time for another

(29:09):
edition of One Hit Wonder Wednesday. You may not remember
the name of the band, but you definitely know the song.

(29:35):
This Bruiser, this is One Hit Wonder Wednesday. All right,
One Hit Wonder Wednesday. I said this song is gonna
make your bounce because it is now. This band is
an interesting mix of punk metal, some basting street energy

(29:58):
and ska, and they influenced a lot of that pop ska,
no doubt, think about bands like that, and if you
don't know what sky is, it's a form of music
became very popular, especially in Britain in the seventies, but

(30:20):
through the eighties, Madness, the Specials, English Beat. They took
a music genre all those groups and bands from Jamaica
in the fifties and had, you know, Caribbean music, a
little calypso, some jazz, rhythm and blues and they mashed
it up. And then after that first wave you had

(30:41):
the second wave in the seventies and eighties, and then
into the nineties you had the third wave, and the
third wave of ska gave us today's one hit wonder.
This band was formed in nineteen eighty three. From the inception,
you had lead vocalist Dicky Barrett, very important with the
that he scream sings, Bassis, Joe Gittleman, Tim Johnny Vegas, Burton,

(31:09):
Ben Carr, and these were the guys that remained pretty
much with the band the entire time. They've had a
influx of other people, but Dicky Barrett and Ben Carr
are kind of the stars of the show. Now, this
Boston group has had some success on the alternative charts,
but nothing that's ever crossed over until their fifth studio album,

(31:36):
where they took their ska punk with a little bit
of pop and put it together to release a song
that only charted to number twenty three on the Billboard
Hot one hundred, But that was in the end of
the story. There's not a stadium that you go to

(31:56):
that you don't hear this song. There is not a
time when you're in the horror that you don't start
laughing or bouncing when you hear this song. From the screaming,
the yelling, and the chaos of the video to the
guy who's just dancing all the time, Today's one hit

(32:16):
wonder from Boston the Mighty Mighty Bostones, with the impression
that I get.

Speaker 19 (32:37):
Ever been close to tragesty, close to folks, laugh, so powerful,
so heavy laps.

Speaker 13 (33:00):
You want to That's the impression that.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
The song itself is rather bouncing and fun, but the
reality is it's actually kind of a depressing song that
asked a question, Hey, uh, have you ever been in
a situation where you get kicked in the grundle where
you're blessed living this great life, but then you've got
to actually faced real heartache, tragedy, and their whole thought processes.

(33:43):
It's about witnessing, is what they're doing, rather than experiencing,
because they had seen tragedy in their lives, but they
had never really felt it. That's why you hear things
like never had the knock on wood, which is so true.
All of us are that way. How many times you

(34:04):
ever said that where you just go knock on wood
right by the grace of God. And that's kind of
what the song is about.

Speaker 13 (34:11):
I'm not a cow at, I've.

Speaker 19 (34:12):
Just never been tested.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
I'm not gonna get that.

Speaker 13 (34:14):
If I was, I would pass. You'll get the tested
in them before their grace Gowhi.

Speaker 20 (34:18):
It might be a cow I'm a.

Speaker 13 (34:20):
Free of one might find out.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
But a song to this day that still makes you bounce.
And maybe the thing that is the most entertaining about
the mighty Mighty Boss Stones. So they never forgot where
they came from, Boston Centric and that included their buddy
Ben Carr. And if you've ever seen them, you'll notice
he plays no intruments, he doesn't sing, he just dances.

(34:46):
He's their hype guy. It kind of handles their day
to day stuff. It's a fun song, no doubt about that,
but a song that does make you sing, and yes,
while the bouncing is there when you're really think about it,
songs kind of depressing when you look at the words.

Speaker 21 (35:05):
Gone wood because I know so wonder at five cup
it makes you wonder at five never had I'm bet
as not gone Wood because I'm sure it is good
and I'm glad I haven't made yet.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
That's the impression that, again, what a great song, Mighty
Mighty bosston't your one hit wonder today the impression that
I get appreciate you guys playing along. Several of you
have sent me that over the last several weeks do
this and we did. Thank you so much from the
bottom of my heart. Right here on the Chad Benson Show.
All right, coming up our number two Moron Iran the

(35:47):
latest there China. What are we gonna do with China.
We're gonna talk about World Cup. We talk a little
bit about that as well. As a young kid gets
an assignment. He's ten fourth grade and the assignment is
to mail a letter to somebody influential about something he
does and gets a letter back. And if you think

(36:07):
it's one of those soft cuddly stories. You'd be wrong.
We'll talk a little bit about that World Cup as
we at closer and closer. Our buddy Eric Bushman is
going to join us to talk about what's going on
the venues across the country, among other things. If you
miss you the show grabbed the podcast. Our number two
is straight ahead Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (36:55):
Day seventy four of the Middle East conflict between US, Israel,
and Iran. And while all that's going on, Trump where
is he now?

Speaker 14 (37:06):
It's time for Trump in China?

Speaker 3 (37:13):
That's right, is in China a g They're gonna sit down,
They're gonna talk tariffs, They're gonna talk about all the things.
What about the thing with the thing and the bop
and the hoop and eat a bop and all that stuff. Uh,
I don't. They're gonna talk a lot about AI, which
is a big deal. We've touched on it. Everybody's trying
to figure out where their world is when it comes

(37:33):
to AI. Right, it's this nervousness about like, okay, what
about this, that and the other. They've China's got their issues,
but this is about AI. How far are we willing,
you know, because we're the two powers to let this
thing go? Are we going to put some sort of
guardrails on it when it comes to the military aspect

(37:57):
of stuff, And you know, maybe they talk about Iran,
maybe they don't. I we'll find out, we will in
the next couple days, because Trump will come home and
he'll say, maybe we talked about Iran. We don't need them.
I have a feeling and this just might gutten some

(38:18):
of the people I've talked to that they are gearing
up for potentially this weekend to do something. I don't
know what that looks like. I don't know if it's
boots on the ground. I wouldn't think there would be,
But alas here we are. With all that being said,
the only thing anybody could talk about is the cost

(38:40):
of life, because it's damn expensive. And yesterday Trump, before
he departed.

Speaker 7 (38:45):
Are devociating with Iran. At the president one extent artner
makes financials maintain, motivating you to make.

Speaker 5 (38:51):
It meal, not even a little bit.

Speaker 9 (38:54):
The only thing that.

Speaker 8 (38:55):
Matters when I'm talking about Iran.

Speaker 5 (38:57):
They can't have a new blue weapon.

Speaker 9 (38:58):
I don't think about Americans financial situation.

Speaker 5 (39:02):
I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing.
We could not let a run have any blue. That's
the only thing that voted.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
I mean, you've got to say that that you care
about whether or not they can effort to get a
nuclear weapon. You could talk about that stuff. But the
oh my god moment that you know, Susie Wiles and
every other Republican oh was the moment where he said, yeah,
I really don't care about you know, Americans finances and

(39:34):
I don't.

Speaker 9 (39:34):
Think about americans financial situation, I don't.

Speaker 5 (39:38):
Think about anybody.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
That is not a winning argument and that will be
played over and over and over again in the coming
weeks leading up in months to the midterms. There's no
doubt about that. And that's the situation that he decided
to go with. And he'll, you know, people will spin
it and say, well, you know, you really and look,

(40:00):
I can give him some grace and understand that you
don't want Iran to know that you care. And by care,
I mean care is so much that you would allow
that to be the deciding factor in a deal that
could potentially get done. So Iran, could you know you
don't want to Sigalle that in the public that being said, Yeah,

(40:22):
of course, every Republican's going oh, because it is a factor,
and the SoundBite, it's going to be played over and
over again. It's going to be on every single Democrat
commercial this upcoming election season, over and over again, on
a loop, over and over again, on a loop. He

(40:44):
doesn't care. He doesn't care it, doesn't care about inflation,
doesn't care about the finances of your life. He doesn't
care about any of those things. Doesn't care the fact
that the polls are showing how frustrated people are and
that they can't make ends meet. He doesn't care. Maybe
he does, may he doesn't. Neither here nor there. He
said it. That's bulletin board material that's going to go

(41:05):
up in the locker room of the Democrats. And luckily
for the Republicans, it is the Democrats because they're useless,
They're awful. They are I I don't like either party.
Somebody asked me, they tweeted at me and said, do
you regret your support for Trump? I said no, no,

(41:29):
I said, you want to know what I regret. I
regret that two parties give us this. I regret the
fact that you know what was it South Park, Giant
douche or turn sandwich. Those are your two choices. At
the end of the day, I regret that the two
choices we had were Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. That's

(41:52):
the regret I have that neither party could come up
with any answer to anything other than what we had.
That should be the biggest regret for all of us.
That should be our frustration level. And now we're at
a point where we're watching on a daily basis, each

(42:12):
party do everything they possibly can, not to talk about
what they think they can do to help the everyday American,
but how they can jerry mander enough to make sure

(42:33):
that their party stays in power. South Carolina did what
others haven't done. This is Shane Massey, who is the
head of the Republicans in South Carolina. And he looked
at the math and he spoke to Trump and he said, nah,

(42:56):
we're not going to have a special election, so we
can vote on it and then read draw the map,
and of course everybody freaked out about it. He does
like a forty minute speech. Forty five minute speech. He
talks about the fact that look, the way that they
want to redraw it is probably going to be potentially
rather than six to one. Now it may stay six

(43:18):
to one, but there's a chance it could go five
to two, where the Republicans will still be, you know,
have a And this is we're talking about the House,
not at the state level, at the federal level. And
so he's like, I don't know if it's worth all
of that to potentially get a single seat. So he thought,
now we're not We're not going to have a special session.

(43:46):
So they voted to say, no, we're not calling everybody
back for a special session here in South Carolina so
we can vote on this. We're just not going to
do it. But I love what he said here because
the thing I've been saying all along about the madness
of the politics we live in and he you know,
again forty minutes of speech, and I narrowed it down

(44:06):
to things that I just I thought, this is great
right here. He said, Look, nobody in the country jerry
manders like South Carolina does. Nobody does. Nobody has gone
and done what South Carolina done in a lot of ways.
He's right, I mean, other states are now really getting involved.

(44:27):
But he thought, this is not what we're supposed to
be doing, though.

Speaker 20 (44:31):
I've seen it argue on social media. I've heard it
argue people have told me this that this is what
you're supposed to do with power. This is what you're
supposed to do with a super majority. You're supposed to
punish your opponents. Really, is that how it's supposed to work?
Is that how it's supposed to work here? Now know
that's how it works in some other places around the world,
But is that how it's supposed to work here? You know,

(44:54):
to most people in the country. I think this is
a perfect example of just how much elected officials have
lost their way. Too many people in power just want
to do whatever it takes to stay in power. They'll
do whatever it takes to keep it. But I asked,
to what end, What do you do with it when
you've attained it? I believe the legitimate use of power

(45:14):
in this context is to make people safer, to ensure
they have the freedom to make decisions, to guide their
own lives, to offer opportunities for success. You know, this
whole outdated idea of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
I love that should we we can? But should we?
It's about power. That's why I was telling people when
the whole this is Jim Crow again. We're going back
to this. I said, it's not about the color of
the skin. Republicans and Democrats don't care. Do you think

(45:55):
Republicans care who votes for them as long as the
votes are there? Do you think the Democrats care who
votes for them? They don't. They care about power. The
only color that really matters is green, and then it's
red and blue. So no, no, I don't think it
is a situation just because you can. You should. And

(46:21):
some of the stuff that he said I found fascinating
and I wish we had more of that. We don't.
And I can almost guarantee you that Trump is trying
to figure out which Republican can he get behind to
blow that guy out. You don't think that's gonna happen.
See Indiana and everywhere else three two, three, five, three eight,

in your head. I told you would it's catchy and fun,

(47:07):
and then you like read the lyrics and realize, hmm,
maybe there's a little something there that's not as fun
as the bounciness of the song makes it. And we
got some of the white woman Wednesday comments like why
are always picking on the progressives? Oh, don't worry, I
pick on everybody. Oh trust me, I do. Maggie gets
mad at me. How dare you? How dare you go

Speaker 1 (49:50):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 13 (49:56):
Was this right?

Speaker 3 (49:57):
Was this wrong? I'm gonna let you decide, but it
was interesting. So Greensboro little kid is given a specific
task along with everybody else, to do something right. He's
in fourth grade. You've got an assignment.

Speaker 14 (50:15):
Bro.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
His name is Christian. You got to write people, CEOs, politicians,
whatever about something an important thing in this little kid
who's ten in the fourth grade took to it.

Speaker 16 (50:26):
Christian his class they wrote their in fourth grade. They
wrote a persuasive essay of their choosing and they nailed
it off to a representative, a CEO, whoever the decision
maker was that could be influential in hearing their persuasive
essay points.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
Okay, that's it. I mean as kids, we did little
things like that. You know, you would write a company
about you know, you may have loved their stuff. Whatever
it is, we all did that. We're learning how to
do certain things. That's fine, that seems totally cool. But
you're thinking, well, what did he write it about?

Speaker 22 (51:03):
Evs twenty thirty eight is only twelve years away, and
you and your classmates will be responsible for the debt.
We should have a five thousand dollars tax rebate for
electric cars because they're better than normal cars. They're better
for his environment, You pay less and there's no gas.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
Little Christian went ev Now, so he sends off the
letter to Congresswoman Virginia Fox, who is a spry eighty
two years old and sits on several committees, including an
education committee. Okay, so she goes and she gets this letter,

(51:46):
and she then responds, right's she going to get a response.
She sends it back to the kid.

Speaker 22 (51:51):
Ask your teacher to explain propaganda to you. I will
never be able to know. My guess is that your
teacher will not be able to give you a good
educational experience by helping you to build as sink as
they are two interested indoctrinating you.

Speaker 13 (52:11):
How sad?

Speaker 22 (52:12):
I think that was wrong because the school didn't do anything.

Speaker 3 (52:17):
Yes, you're indoctrinated. What should she have done? Chad three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show
as your ex, your Insta and everything else right here
in the Chad Benson Show. How about this, Hey, Christian,
appreciate you writing me, and I love the fact that
you're taking an interesting politics, the debt as well as EV's.

(52:40):
And You're right, we need to do better for the environment,
and I'm glad that you care about it. There are
different views on this, but I do believe if we
work together we can find solutions that are both positive
for our nation and the environment. Seems to be fairly easy.
What do you think she's been charged, Well, she's out

(53:04):
of jail. And this is a very interesting situation. I
have a kid a year older, soon to be two
years older, because he's going to be Holy Mother of
Goodness tomorrow. He's going to be a whopping sixteen years old,
ready for his driver's license. But he's got a e
bike Reddy zips around on And this woman is now

(53:27):
being charged in the death of a Vietnam Vet. He
was eighty one years old. And the DA in Orange
County is coming hard for her.

Speaker 16 (53:37):
Whether you like it or not.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
We're responsible for the conduct.

Speaker 12 (53:40):
Of our children.

Speaker 3 (53:42):
Now where does this slippery slope agin? You can do
a lot with your kids, and you should have some
responsib blood. We also have to give them, you know,
more freedom and a leash and every legal, bigle life
seeing expert said, this is going to be hard to
prove because what they're charging her with may it. So
they put themselves in a corner that she knew that

(54:04):
there was a possibility think he could kill somebody, and
that she played a role in the death. But I
think this is one of those things where they're going
to overcharge in hopes for a plea bargain to make
an example. Coming up, World Cup Talk, we are less
than a month away, Chat Benson Chap, The Chat Benson.

Speaker 23 (54:23):
Show, The Chat Benson Show, TikTok, TikTok, twenty nine days

(54:47):

It's the world's biggest sporting event and it's coming to America.
It's time to talk.

Speaker 9 (55:00):

Speaker 13 (55:02):
Oh, how about that.

Speaker 9 (55:04):
La Parra.

Speaker 13 (55:07):
Ago?

Speaker 24 (55:09):
What are the rights sharia right across to We haven't
been able to control the play in midfield? Why that
Mara Donut has been able to do?

Speaker 13 (55:21):
They's had to be a gun.

Speaker 14 (55:27):
It's all I'm anti l can win the World Cup
for Argentina with this kick.

Speaker 3 (55:32):
Yes, oh, the World Cup not too far away. Getting excited.
Jack is very excited. We're gonna go see a game
or two in Atlanta. I'm pumped about it. I am.
When you talk to our buddy Eric Bushman coming up
from Karl d about all the things going on cities
around the country. Prepare for well the world to show up. Uh,

(55:56):
two thousand and two World Cups. So we've been going
over the past World Cups. Two thousand and two World Cup.
First of all, say this one really tested me because
I had to stay up really late to watch these
games or get up early to watch these games. And
there were a lot of games. And this World Cup
it's the co host Japan and South Korea. It's very

(56:22):
interesting in this World Cup, if I'm correct Korea. South
Korea actually reached out to North Korea and said, would
you guys like to host a game? And their response
was that's what the response was. I don't really think

(56:43):
that was the response. You guys get where I'm going
with this. Thirty two teams Yuefa, that's your Turkey Sweden, Spain, Slovenia, Russia,
Republic of Ireland, Portugal, Poland, Italy, Germany, France, England, Dana, Marca, Croatia, Belgium,
from South America, Company Ball, Uruguay, Pedaguay, Ecuador, Brazil, Arentina

(57:06):
from Conca, caff Our Region, United States of America, Mexico
and Costa Rica, Africa five, Tunisia, South Africa, Senegal, Nigeria,
Cameroon and Asia had China, Japan, Saudi Arabia and South
Korea because they are the host. This was actually a
really good World Cup for US, the United States. A

(57:29):
very good World Cup for us, and we were in
a very tough group. But we got out of that group,
including a shock win over Portugal, who was one of
the favorites. In fact, we eliminated them. We won one,
lost one, drew one, placing us second in our group.

(57:53):
We moved on to the knockout round and guess who
we play in the knockout round Mexico Go and what
did we do to them? Dos a zero. That win
put us into the quarterfinals against Germany. We lost that
game one nothing. Now, I will tell you guys this,

(58:14):
we were the better team. We should have won that game.
We hit the post. We were the better team in
that game. But Germany got through where they would take
on South Korea, who surprised everybody by beating Spain. The
other quarterfinals England Brazil. What an amazing game Brazil gets
by Turkey Senegal. Turkey wins that one pitting Brazil versus Turkey, Germany,

(58:35):
South Korea. Germany wins that game, won nothing. Brazil does
the same and then on to the final in Yokohama.
The final was rather interesting because four years earlier you
had the mystery of what happened to R nine, who
was Ronaldo before the other Ronaldo are seven. There would

(58:56):
be no mystery, there would be no illness. There would
only be OR nine dominating as quite frankly, Brazil won
two nothing. It could have been ten nothing. Germany stood
no chance. The Brazilians dazzled everybody. Ronaldo scored eight goals
in the tournament, was easily the best player, not just

(59:19):
in the tournament but the world as they dominated, winning
yet again another cup. So I am excited about that.
I thought we'd give you a rundown of that tomorrow,
two thousand and six World Cup rundown from here on out.
Our World Cups aren't as exciting as this one was

(59:39):
until this year, because I do think we're going to
do something this year. Speaking of this year, our good
buddy Eric Bushman from Carol D joins the program. You know, Eric,
before we kick off the World Cup, we gotta have
an opening ceremony because we love big things like opening ceremonies,
and I think the world's going to be looking know us, going,

(01:00:00):
all right, what are you guys going to do for
these opening ceremonies?

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
Yeah, And it's really interesting.

Speaker 14 (01:00:05):
You know, every week or so, it seems FIFA has
some big announcement that they want want to let us
know about. And as as we were approaching the one
month mark a few days ago, they let us know
about the opening ceremonies. And this is going to be
kind of special. We're used to opening ceremonies every I
guess two two and a half years for Summer and

(01:00:27):
Winter Olympics, usually for World Cup. I mean my memory
for past World Cups, like in Qatar and other plan
in Russia the time before that, you know, I don't
really remember, you know, the opening ceremonies. I just remember
watching a lot of soccer as we like to say
in the United States. But the one thing that's interesting here,
we're going to have three separate opening ceremonies. If you

(01:00:49):
can believe it, they are letting each host country do
their own celebrations. So the very first one is going
to be in Mexico City on June eleventh, which is
the opening day, and it's going to be the first match.
It's going to be in Mexico City, and that's going
to be between Mexico and South Africa. And then the
second one will be in the United States and Los

(01:01:11):
Angeles the next day on June twelfth, and then that
same day, June twelfth, Toronto and Canada will be doing
that and there are different headliners. Katie Perry is going
to be the big headliner in Los Angeles. I saw that,
Alejandro Fernandez and Belinda They're gonna be the big headliners
in Mexico City and Atlantis. Morrissett and Michael Boubla they

(01:01:32):
will be the big headliners in Toronto, And of course
we'll be familiar with seeing a lot of Mexican and
US and Canadian culture on display, just like you would
see at any host city. Most recently, the Winter Olympics.
You know, when they put, you know, the history of
their country on display for the world to see.

Speaker 3 (01:01:52):
That's going to be awesome. I can't wait. And I
remember I remember in ninety four Oprah kicked it off.
I think it will like David Johanson, you know, singing, Hot,
Hot Hot. I think Clinton was there. I mean, all
of these you know, these things went on, but it
was it was a big deal because they really, up

(01:02:13):
until then, they had had small opening ceremonies. But of
course America right everywhere. I think, who else sang? I
think I might have been Diana Ross saying I think
she was supposed to kick a ball into a goal
if I'm correct, and I think she missed. But you know,
we really put it on, you know when it comes
to stuff like this, and I'm sure Dallas is about
ready just to rock and roll. Speaking of that, are

(01:02:34):
you starting to get a sense and a feel of okay,
it's getting closer and closer.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:02:39):
Absolutely.

Speaker 14 (01:02:40):
I mean I remember a few days ago when we
reached the one month out mark. I remember I came
back to work after taking a week off, and when
I came back, I'm thinking, oh man, what do I
need to work at. And I'm looking like May May eleventh,
May eleventh, twic is May eleventh or why is that significant?
And then I thought to myself, Oh, because I'm thinking

(01:03:01):
at June eleventh. That's been in my head for the
last year. And then I thought, wow, we are We're
one month out. I feel like I was just at
a news conference the other day talking about one year
out that the World Cup North Texas Organizing Committee had
a Toyota Stadium in Frisco or FC Dallas plays, and
and I just I just couldn't believe it. And so
before you know it, it's going to feel like like

(01:03:21):
a week and a half from now where we're watching
the first game in Mexico City, and just right after
that we're going to have all these matches that are
going to be held, and I need to get at
and t Stadium out of my head and replace it
with Dallas Stadium, which of course is in Arlington, which
is something. Of course Arlington's is still fighting, but it's
going to be a losing battle. But anyway, it's it's

(01:03:42):
just really interesting to think that this is this is
about ready to happen, and I think a lot of
people myself included, are just really excited about it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:49):
I'm pumped. I can't wait. You know, ticket prices, what
are people saying? Because I'll be honest with you, I
just went online just to see what Croatia. What's the
seventeenth Croatia in England? Yeah, cheapest tickeickets way in the
stands like that I could find for two tickets. Would
it cost me sixty three hundred dollars for two tickets?

Speaker 14 (01:04:09):
I'm not surprised. The last time I did a random
chicket at excuse me ticket check was a couple of
weeks ago, and I looked at that first AT and
T Stadium game and I want to say, the cheapest
I found maybe was in just a little under two thousand.
So what's remaining. Yeah, I'm not surprised with the demand,

(01:04:31):
it's going to be six thousand dollars. I mean, you know,
I can tell you this much. For people, I mean,
I understand wanting to be there so you can say
that you were there. I can't tell you how many
times as a member of the media it was worth
the pain and the fighting to say that I covered
or I attended an event. But with as much as

(01:04:52):
I know that's going to be worth it for people
who want to be there in person. One thing to
remember every match you'll be able to watch. This is
going to be very similar to how when the NCAA
Men's basketball tournament expanded and brought in more than just CBS,
where you can pick which game you want to do

(01:05:14):
and then you know what we see now with the
NBA Finals going on, you can watch any game you
want to watch as long as you have the right subscriptions.
And it's going to be the same way with the
World Cup. So between Fox and FS one, I don't
think there's going to be more than two games at
a time playing simultaneously in the group stage, Yes, and

(01:05:37):
that is how they're going to split it up between
f S one and Fox. In the US, Telemundo is
the other big one. And so you know you will
be able to watch either as long as you have
the right subscription or you're at the right sports bar,
you can enjoy this virtually without having to be there.
But hey, if six thousand dollars is nothing to sneeze at, go.

Speaker 3 (01:05:58):
For it, no doubt about that. Talking Eric Mush as
we talk about the World Cup as it gets closer,
and closer less than a month out. Eric, you look
out there, when do you think that? Because I remember
in ninety four the team started arriving. At least the
support staff got there about a month before, and then

(01:06:18):
the teams slowly trickled in because some guys were still
playing in the European Championships for their club teams. But
by and large they slowly started trickling in right around
two weeks at the latest. Outside of the guys who
are still playing, When do you expect to start seeing
the support staff and stuff like that start to roll in.

Speaker 14 (01:06:38):
Well, I do know that FIFA. There are officials with
FIFA who came here months ago, when they've never left.
They're already in Dallas. Dallas is kind of one of
their sites where they've kind of set up shop. Of course, Dallas,
besides having more matches than any other host city, also
has the International Broadcast Center downtown at the K. Bailey
Hudgson Convention.

Speaker 3 (01:06:58):
So how cool is that? Have you been there?

Speaker 14 (01:07:00):
I have not been to the convention center. However, one
little tidbit, I want to say, maybe a couple months
ago they did the North Texas organizers did the big
fan Fest unveil, and I was out at the Cotton
Bowl where they did that. Now, the Cotton Bowl is
not the site of FanFest. It's going to be on
the other side of Fair Park at the pavilion that's out.

Speaker 3 (01:07:21):
There, that's fan Fest.

Speaker 14 (01:07:22):
Cotton Bowl is not really going to serve much of
any purpose, unlike what it did in ninety four when
it was one of the most important sites. And so
but when other people the same day could go to
the Convention Center, they did not allow still photography and
this light bulb went off. Does it is it not
going to be ready? But I have not heard any
different that it's not going to be ready. I think

(01:07:43):
the Convention Center is they have to be. They don't
have a choice because of what it's going to represent.
And of course, one thing to answer that question, they
said middle of May, mid to late May is when
the International Broadcast Center is supposed to start being offal
and then it will go about a month after the
Championship Round, which is July nineteenth, it'll stretch into August.

(01:08:07):
But when it comes to the teams that are coming in,
we have not heard anything yet about Sweden, who's going
to base camp in Mansfield, or Chechia otherwise known as
a Czech Republic that's going to base camp at Toyota
Stadium and Frisco. We've not heard of those coming yet.
But one thing that a lot of people are at
least talking about, myself included, is when are we going

(01:08:30):
to start noticing that? And you know, the traffic in
this city, it's one thing to behold, but when are
we going to start noticing that increase in traffic the
hundreds of thousands of people that are expected to come
into town, that's going to be pretty much at any
point that's going to start being noticeable.

Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
Hey amen, brother Eric Bushman. Always good to talk to you, carriltys.
We get ready for the World Cup, big games coming.
Every game is and I tell everybody this, if you
have a chance even to see one game, I don't
care if it's Morocco versus Haiti or Ozbekistan versus whoever
it is. It is an event to go to and

(01:09:11):
you have no idea until you get there how amazing
it is. So if you have a chance, and by
the way, if you have a chance to see the
sweetest I'm not saying the ladies are hot, but they're
smoking hot. Go check them out. Appreciate you coming on too,
and we'll talk to you next week.

Speaker 14 (01:09:23):

It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 3 (01:11:05):
As when you wrap it up for this second hour,
we better figure out what words are out there that
are available for us when it comes to speaking to
the utes.

Speaker 25 (01:11:14):
No, it's time for the urban word of the day.
The young have a vocabulary all their own, and we
break it down for you. It's called the urban word
of the day.

Speaker 3 (01:11:27):
Now you might hear this in your place of employment.
Crash out. It's slang for experiencing a sudden, intense emotional outburst,
snapping or behaving impulsionly due to extreme stress, burnout or frustration.
Oh so somebody loses their mind. You're like augh, throwing

(01:11:50):
a fit, Like that person's crashing out. You don't want
to be that person. But if you hear somebody say
that person's crashing out. No, but something's going on in
some losing it. And if you don't know who it is,
there's a good chance it's probably you. At that point
in time, that was the urban word of the day. Now,
you know, you don't want to crash out. That's all

(01:12:12):
I'm saying, right, you want to be cool. That's what
we're saying. No crash outs here on the Chad Bentson Show.
Coming up, our number three of the program, we're going
to discuss Mount Everest. I've always been fascinated with Mount Everest,
and we're going to discuss because it's that time of
the season that people make their way up the mountain

(01:12:35):
even though they've been there for a while. We're going
to discuss what's the cost of it. How dangerous is
it is Mount Everest the most dangerous mountain on the planet.
We're going to discuss that. Get a Little White Woman Wednesday,
and of course one Hit Wonder Wednesday as well. Make
sure you reach out to us on our socials. We
love hearing from you and we've got our YouTube up
so if you have a chance to go check it out.

(01:12:56):
At Chad Benson Show, We're gonna be live again tonight
really helps us out our number three straight ahead. Chad
Benson showed this.

Speaker 1 (01:13:04):
Is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:13:34):
Mount Everest? What what Mount Everest? Are we gonna talk now?
We're not talking about I'm just I'm over the trump
of the Balts. I just don't even care at this
point in time. Whatever happens happens. We'll deal with it later.
I find this fascinating. So Mount Everest, and I've always
found this fascinating. You guys know we listen to the show,
we do a little uh you know, nature will mess

(01:13:55):
you up. And nature is an interesting thing. It's amazing,
it's it's awe inspiring, it's terrifying, it's deadly. And I
look at Mount Everest now like it's it's it's the
McDonald's of mountain climbing. And that sounds weird, right. It's

(01:14:17):
the highest peak on Earth, well above the ocean. I
want to put that out there because somebody's can tak
Do you know there's ones underneath? We get it, I
get it. We're just talking about on the flat ground
Terra Terra Firma, their highest peak. But it's still fascinating.
But it is very much become the McDonald's of the

(01:14:39):
climbing world. And I'll get to that in a moment.
And it doesn't mean that's a good thing, by the way,
because it is it. But I'm always curious because really,
these next several weeks are it? Right? So may begins
climbing season as far as the ascent, so you just

(01:15:01):
don't show up there. Although there was one guy who
rode his bike if I'm correct, from Sweden to Nepal,
climbed the mountain, came right back down, got his bike
and went home, then got killed by a bus. Not lie,
it's a true story. We'll figure that out a second.

(01:15:21):
But what's the cost, right, Because it ain't cheap if
you think you're just showing up there tomorrow and climbing
that mountain.

Speaker 26 (01:15:29):
So how much does it actually cost to climb Mount Everest?

Speaker 9 (01:15:31):
Right?

Speaker 26 (01:15:32):
So the permit to climb in twenty twenty six is
fifteen thousand dollars That goes to the Nepal government. Most
people go with an expedition company, and this can cost
anything between forty and one hundred thousand dollars. That is
a massive discrepancy, but it's based on how many guys,
how many sherpa guides, the food you want, the luxuries
you want, how much oxygen you're taking. There's so much
to it, right, the gear you got, your suit, your boots,

(01:15:55):
your crampons, your ice ax, your tent, your oxygen mask.
Looking at between seven and ten thousand dollars for this
if you want extra oxygen, depending how much you want
to live, three to five thousand dollars extra your travel
costs flights, insurance are the transport between five and ten
thousand dollars, and the total costs we're looking at between
fifty and one hundred thousand dollars, but some climbers do

(01:16:17):
spend one hundred and fifty thousand because there's a luxury
option where you get literal massages and food helicoptered to
the next camp up. So just think everyone in this
queue paid a literal house deposit to be in it,
somewhat even summit. Some won't survive and no, I don't
get it, but I am obsessed.

Speaker 3 (01:16:37):
I am too, I'm super obsessed. I find it fascinating
because as we're no matter what time you're listening to
this right now, if you're listening in Mayson time, there's
a very good chance there is a line that is formed.
Like you're at Disneyland waiting to get on a ride
to the top of the mountain. And I always trying

(01:16:59):
to put it in pupils for the next time you're
flying and we're at thirty thousand feet look out the
window and think, this is how high this is. That
kind of gives you that perspective. It's not cheap, by
the way, to go there. It isn't. And by the way,
if you want to know, was that we were just
talking about that guy that rode his bike there, like

(01:17:20):
the one he guy. He's a legend, and somehow in
my weird brain I knew that somebody had done it.
His name was gorn Krupp. He rode from Stockholm to
Nepal with all of his gear, by the way, two
hundred and twenty pounds, eight thousand miles. He crossed Europe, Turkey, earon, Pakistan,

(01:17:43):
India into Nepal. He got there and said all right,
this is cool. Then he climbed Mount Everest. He soloed
it without oxygen or a sherpa. When all the way
to the top, turn around came back down, which was insane.

(01:18:06):
And that was nineteen ninety six, which brings us to this.
It's been thirty years and John Krakauer, who wrote the
book Into Thin Air, they've reissued the book and he's
added some stuff to it. So John was a writer

(01:18:27):
for Outside magazine, always been kind of his dream to
climb the mountain, was doing it personally and for a piece,
didn't know what's going to become I think a best
selling book. It's the third worst season in the history

(01:18:51):
of Everest was nineteen ninety six. This year's, by the way,
starting off with a bang. But there are others that
were worse, but those were balanche involved.

Speaker 6 (01:19:00):
This was.

Speaker 3 (01:19:03):
Pure storms and disaster. And he's out talking about it
now and it's very interesting. Like I said, I'm fascinated
by this stuff.

Speaker 27 (01:19:15):
Things are safer now than they were. They're still not safe,
but they're safer than they were, in part because the
Government of Paul now requires for every climber it must
have a shirp, a guide with them, and many climbers
elect to have two and they can now they now
use When I climb it. In ninety six, we each
had three oxygen bottles to last all day if you

(01:19:38):
kept it on half flow. Now you can have as
much oxygen as you're willing to pay for, but it
requires more shurpas to carry that up. It also puts
them more at risk. It's a there's a moral hazard
to climbing efforts that not just a real hazard, but
a moral hazard about you are affecting other people's lives
by going there. You're putting shirpers in jeopardy or you know,

(01:20:00):
if you're not qualified or have trouble, you're really you
can't really be rescued generally from Everest, right because then
you're putting the people who are going to try to
rescue rescue you at risk. So it's complicated.

Speaker 3 (01:20:14):
It is complicated, and they've talked about for the years,
you know how there's trash everywhere, But the shocking thing
is there's bodies everywhere. They don't bring you back down,
They don't for the most part, they're not helping you. Now,
your friend may try to save you, but it isn't
happening from the team because they can't afford it. And

(01:20:34):
when you wrote the book, and this is what I
found to be really fascinating, is he thought this would
be a turnoff for everybody, a warning.

Speaker 27 (01:20:41):
I was certain that when I wrote this book, the
friends of mine who are guides would hate me because
this book would end guiding on Everest. I thought, after
people read this, I'll see it's a really bad idea
to pay a lot of money pe guide up this mountain. Instead,
the guide services told me this is the best advertising
we could ever had. So instead of putting an end

(01:21:01):
to it, it accelerated the interest in Everest. People would
see me, I'm a small person. I look pretty normal.
I am pretty normal. If that guy can climb Everest,
I can climb Everest. And you can see them during
the book tour just going you climbed Everest, and so
it was like, yeah, it people done well. Anyone can
climb Everest.

Speaker 3 (01:21:22):
I guess I don't know how you'd feel about that,
but I do feel that way. That's why I keeps
saying it's to McDonald's of this. It's become so commercialized,
and it's the McDonald's of because if you've got some money, right, Like,
you're going up there now with the person that's finding

(01:21:42):
themselves right, you know, instead of live laugh love, it's
live laugh climb. You're going up there now with that
guy that is the best salesman in your office who's
decided that poster up there, if you could do anything
is what they want to do, which is crazy because
you would think it's like it's the mountaineer that does it,

(01:22:04):
not anymore, not anymore, and that's insane. Now it is
not the deadliest mountain. It's not even in the top ten.
There are other mountains that are far more dangerous and
deadly that you never hear people talk about, which everybody thinks, well,

(01:22:24):
how is it not? Now it's killed more people because
more people go on it. Already this year, I think
there's been five deaths in the climbs in and around Nepal,
three of them though on Everest, the deadliest mountain in
the world is not too far away from it, and

(01:22:46):
Apirna they called the silent Killer. Are you ready for this?
For every three summits, one person dies. Now those numbers
are improving, but think about that modern gear has helped.

(01:23:07):
But that's why it is super deadly, and they talk
about the weather is the thing that gets you up
at these mountains. Everest, they say, is an easy climb
in the sense that they've got ropes up there. They're attached.
By the way, they're not attached right now. They broke,

(01:23:29):
so they're supposed to be up by tomorrow. But they've
got ropes where you can start to climb and you
pull up these other ones, it's all about rock climbing.
It's all about mountaineering. Number two on the list is
the Savage Mountain K two, and there's been many movies
about K two. Steeper than ever, it's more technical, brutal weather,

(01:23:51):
avalanche danger. For every five that try it, one will die.
On this list, I was surprised. I was like, Okay,
I've heard of a few of these, most of them
I haven't. But the Matterhorn at Disney No, not at Disneyland,
although that would be hard to climb too. You know,
they say it looks postcard esque. It attracts tons of

(01:24:13):
people that shouldn't be climbing, lots of rock falls and exposure.
More than five hundred people have died trying to climb
the Matterhorn, So don't do fat. I mean, I shouldn't
laugh at that. But when we think of the matterhorn
you think of Disneyland. Oh boy, it's not that one.
The reason though Everest is what it is is because

(01:24:33):
the height the fame. It pretty much leads or is
at the top when it comes to the danger as
far as death. But that's because of how many people go.
Technically it's not even in the top five fatality rate dangerous,
but nowhere near the worst. It is the commercialization of it.

(01:24:55):
It's I'm that fascinating. I'm fascinated by stuff like that.
It's the McDonald's of the climbing world. That poster makes
me laugh. You guys ever seen that poster, the motivation
poster that says every dead body in Mount Everest was
once a highly motivated person. So maybe calm down a

out about Thomas Massey and this shouldn't be a shock.
They're coming hard for him, and it shouldn't be a shock.
Before the primaries, it was something would come out, and
it has to do with his ex girlfriend paying her off,
but not for anything he did for a colleague of
his that his ex girlfriend, I guess said, fired her

(01:27:49):
when she shouldn't have been. It's just they're trying everything
they can to go after Massy. I hope everybody understands
that you have to let this thing play out. Will
people bone people? I don't know? Operation Sledgehammer. All right,
this is the apparently the restarting of the conflict and
the potential four that over to Google. Brandon Clark, Jason Collins,

(01:28:16):
two NBA players, one former Jason Collins, first openly gay player,
passed away yesterday forty nine years young. And Brandon Clark,
currently in the NBA, was found unresponsive and was pronounced
dead yesterday at his home. He was just twenty nine
years old. Just awful situation there, I mean, just he

(01:28:39):
had had some issues with drugs in the past, and
that is what they're thinking may have happened here. It's
drug paraphernalia everywhere. Amazon and MGM decide the live action
Voltron will not be going to theaters, but straight to
streaming three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to
twenty three act ch had Ben's show is your ex,

(01:29:01):
your Insta, your YouTube and more. Love hearing from each
and every one of you right here on The Chadpenson Show.
Finally over to Yahoo. Christopher Dolan pushes back against casting
choices in the Honesty Trump and g Trending. Tony Heachcliffe
trending for his George Floyd joke that drew criticism from

(01:29:26):
both comedians and audience members as well as George Floyd family.
That is also trending. So the Tony Hinchcliffe's joke about
George Floyd. It was at a roast of Kevin Hart,
which by the way, was some of it was hilarious.

(01:29:46):
I only saw some of it, and some of it
was very biting with personal attacks that had nothing to
do with Hey, we're just all here having fun tonight.
But the joke about George Floyd, there's also a joke
about Charlie Kirk as well. Both sides are trying to
find outrage and anger over this. It's a roast. Comedy

(01:30:08):
does things like cross the line.

Speaker 22 (01:30:12):
Why.

Speaker 3 (01:30:12):
First of all, it's good to establish where the line is,
and yes, people will go across it. Sometimes sometimes people
go too far, but that's why people love comics. And
if you don't know anything about Tony, he's got that
big kill Tony podcast and comedy thing he does. There
were a lot of jokes that were awful, but that's

(01:30:33):
what a roast is and this was no different. So
people were going to find anger in anything, and the
Shane Gillis was brilliant. But his joke about the Bonzye tree,
that's all I'll say, was hilarious. Was hilarious. I find
that humor makes me laugh a little bit. Is it dark, Yes,
but I haven't seen that. I didn't see the Charlie
Kirk joke, and I didn't see the George Floyd joke.

(01:30:54):
But these roasts are not like your mom and dad's roast.
If you mean sendy the show, grab the podcast.

Speaker 28 (01:30:58):
Check at the check an Chad Benson Show, The Chad

(01:31:22):
Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:31:23):
Ladies, it's white well Wednesday. Well a white woman Wednesday
for us on this Wednesday, obviously, because it's white woman Wednesday.
That's why we do that, shall we.

Speaker 17 (01:31:34):
Most notable examples of someone who was wildly racist but
loved animals was Hitler.

Speaker 1 (01:31:37):
All six million Jewish people were murdered.

Speaker 17 (01:31:39):
The actual death count is estimated to be between ten
and sixteen million people, and that includes disabled people, black people,
gay people, romani people, and pretty much anyone that you
could think of that decided to defect or go outside
the status quo. Clearly, this man had absolutely no regard
for human life, but he loved animals, and in fact,
he was a vegetarian and minecom if. He described a
story when he was on a date with the world

(01:32:00):
and she ordered sausage and he said, oh, you're.

Speaker 1 (01:32:01):
Gonna eat corpses like that? You're feeing depraved. He would
later go on to kill.

Speaker 13 (01:32:06):
Many many people.

Speaker 17 (01:32:07):
Oh and don't even get me started on the Nazi
animal protection movement, because yes, they passed a series of
laws that are still in effect today to protect animal welfare.
And I'm not against these laws, honestly, they're decent laws.
Laws saying that people who abuse their pets could be
sentenced to prison, or that there needed to be actually
in asia administered during serious surgeries for animals. Actually, many
of these laws are still in effect today. That's why

(01:32:27):
one why people say I love animals more than people.
It makes me very uncomfortable because there have been times
when people have elevated the lives of animals over human beings.
All human beings and animals are important, but we should
not put one above the other.

Speaker 3 (01:32:39):
So, so you like Hitler and you hate vegetarians? Is
that what I got out of that? Is that not
what I should have gotten out I like how they
I don't even know how you you got to that point.
It's kind of odd that you make that leap to
you know, who else liked animals? Hitler? All I heard
was he's vegetarian. So that's awful. Yes, we get it,

(01:33:03):
but he did do some good things, right, like that's
that's the thing that everybody always says, Well, he did,
you know he kept the trains run at time. I mean,
you know, he's like he expanded the you know, built
the interstate and said, oh, okay, so you like some
of the stuff. Oh okay, okay, Kylie, here's a crazy
teacher teaching youngsters.

Speaker 1 (01:33:22):
Donald Trump.

Speaker 16 (01:33:23):
Everything I'm seeing allegedly says that the big thing happened,
that it happened.

Speaker 6 (01:33:30):
Can anybody confirm it for me?

Speaker 5 (01:33:32):
Like, I don't know, I don't want to get.

Speaker 2 (01:33:34):
My hopes up.

Speaker 9 (01:33:35):
What was that?

Speaker 3 (01:33:36):
She was talking about the assassination attempt number three? Then
she comes on she talks about how fake it is,
how none of it's real. And there's a lot of
people out there who who hold that belief that this
is absolutely fake, none of it's real. All three of

(01:33:56):
them were faked. I don't believe that. I believe the
last two were mentally deranged. And we still know nothing
about the first guy. Nothing, nothing about the first guy.
He came close, but nothing. And there's all kinds of
the conspiracy. World is rife with lunacy right now. There

(01:34:20):
is no doubt about that. Speaking of lunacy, Trump just
Before he left to go meet with Gee, he was
asked about Iran, what's going on? And, uh, you know,
the economy already.

Speaker 7 (01:34:36):
Uctiating with Iran, mister president, one extent our American financial
things maintain buivating you to make it nal, not.

Speaker 5 (01:34:43):
Even a little bit.

Speaker 8 (01:34:44):
The only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran
they can't have a new blue weapon. I don't think
about American financial situation.

Speaker 5 (01:34:52):
I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing.
We could not let Iran have a new blue weapon.
That's all the only thing about it.

Speaker 3 (01:35:03):
Okay, so we can't let them have a nuclear weapon.
Can't let them do that. Yeah, we get that. But
you said something about America and their finances, and that's
not sitting well.

Speaker 9 (01:35:17):
But I don't think about American financial situation.

Speaker 5 (01:35:21):
I don't think about anybody.

Speaker 3 (01:35:24):
Well, we know you don't think about anybody, but that
doesn't sit well with anybody. I'm running that every single
day on every ad I can find. If I am
a Democrat running in the midterms, you just Donald Trump
doesn't like you, and he's made billions along with his family,

(01:35:46):
and what does he think?

Speaker 9 (01:35:47):
But I don't think about American financial situation.

Speaker 5 (01:35:51):
I don't think about anybody.

Speaker 3 (01:35:53):
Now here's my take. You don't want Iran to know
that this is something that could force you to make
a deal that's not good enough. And so their whole
thought is, well, just you know, we can hold on
for as long as we possible. Can you want to
give them anything out there? The best thing was to

(01:36:13):
be ignore it, say look, you know what, we're in negotiations.
We're doing everything we can. The reality is what they
sent us we don't like, and it's between us and
we'll figure it out. And you move on or say nothing.
I gotta go there you go practice it. I gotta
go what are you doing? I gotta leave, Bye bye,

(01:36:36):
There you go. Simple, But now you've given them an
opportunity to put some on the bulletin board, as they
would say, the bulletin board material that is going to
be out there.

Speaker 13 (01:36:52):
All the while.

Speaker 3 (01:36:54):
This runs up to midterms, and here we are seventy
four days to the war, and the economy is it's
not a dumpster fire. But when you've got polls that
say seventy percent disagree with your handling of the economy.

(01:37:20):
By the way, when it comes to Trump, that's a
benchmark that has never crossed fifty percent in his first term,
even during the pandemic. And if you want to know
how big the economy is, so you know, they do
those poles when you know the exit polls, and it's
not like we we talked to four people. It's like
almost eleven thousand people. Trump won the economy. I think

(01:37:42):
it was eighty three to seventeen, eighty three to seventeen.
Even if it was eighty twenty. Hell if it was
seventy thirty, it wasn't in the eighties. And now seventy
percent of the people, yeah, this isn't, this is no
no new. Seventy percent of Americans, including a majority of Republicans,

(01:38:05):
say Trump's policies have driven up the cost of living yep,
the cost of living.

Speaker 9 (01:38:16):
And if.

Speaker 3 (01:38:19):
Again tariffs which have you know, that's just kind of
been sidelined, the tariff thing, but that's not helped. Like coffees,
the price of coffee is way up tariffs now when
you go and look at stuff like I never blamed
Biden for the eggs, for the eggs, So for some things, right,

(01:38:39):
there's issues you can't blame the president on. If there's
issues when it comes to cattle and the shrinking size
of cattle in this country. You can't put all the
blame on Trump, but there's no doubt there are serious
issues here and people believe his policies are the number
one reason things have gone to hell in a handbasket.

(01:39:03):
And then you throw in your pet projects, which is
and there's plenty of them, from the giant ballroom to
the ARCTA Trump to the repainting of the at the
front of the Washington Monument, the pool there, and you
come out and you're like, it's going to cost a

(01:39:24):
billion this, or it's gonna be this, that and the other.
But it's okay because it's great for America to People
don't want to hear that when they're trying to make
ends meet and they're looking at the cost of living
getting away from them and then you gave them I
don't really care about America's financials. That isn't going to
go overwhelmed, not only with the base, but also with

(01:39:47):
the people who you're hoping get re elected. Come November three, two, three, five, three, eight,

Wonder Wednesday, Straight Ahead Chad Benson.

Speaker 10 (01:41:29):
Show Deep Stinks No Deep Doo doo Yeah, The Chat
Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:41:47):
As will you wrap up this hump day? Do one
of our favorite things we'd love to do on the
program talk a little bit of music. We do a
little one Hit Wonder so where we dive deep into
a song, talk about the artist, the song itself, how
it came to be, some of these songs. By the way,

(01:42:08):
it is the one hit they've had here, but they've
had many hits elsewhere. And sometimes it's just it. You
remember the song, but not the band. You remember the
band but not really the song. Today, I know you'll
remember the song, maybe not so much the band, but
the band. They're from Boston, so I think you're gonna
enjoy this. Now it's time for another edition of One

(01:42:31):
Hit Wonder Wednesday. You may not remember the name of
the band, but you definitely know the song.

Speaker 13 (01:42:55):
Remember this Bruiser.

Speaker 3 (01:42:57):
This is one Hit One Wednesday. All right, One Hit
Wonder Wednesday. I said this song is gonna make you
bounce because it is now.

Speaker 1 (01:43:09):
This band.

Speaker 3 (01:43:11):
Is an interesting mix of punk, metal, some basting street
energy and ska, and they influenced a lot of that
pop ska, no doubt. Think about bands like that. And
if you don't know what sky is, it's a form

(01:43:33):
of music became very popular, especially in Britain in the seventies,
but through the eighties, Madness, the Specials, English Beat. They
took a music genre all those groups and bands from
Jamaica in the fifties and had, you know, Caribbean music

(01:43:54):
a little calypso some jazz, rhythm and blues and they
mashed it up and then through that first wave, you
had the second wave in the seventies and eighties, and
then into the nineties you had the third wave, and
the third wave of ska gave us today's one hit wonder.
This band was formed in nineteen eighty three. From the inception,

(01:44:16):
you had lead vocalist Dicky Barrett, very important with the
way that he screamed, sings, Bassis, Joe Gittleman, Tim Johnny Vegas, Burton,
Ben Carr, and these were the guys that remained pretty
much with the band the entire time. They've had a

(01:44:37):
influx of other people, but Dicky Barrett and Ben Carr
are kind of the stars of the show.

Speaker 14 (01:44:44):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:44:44):
This Boston group has had some success on the alternative charts,
but nothing that's ever crossed over until their fifth studio album,
where they took their ska punk with a little bit
of pop and put it together to release a song
that only charted to number twenty three on the Billboard

(01:45:09):
Hot one hundred, But that was in the end of
the story. There's not a stadium that you go to
that you don't hear this song. There is not a
time when you're in the car that you don't start
laughing or bouncing when you hear this song. From the screaming,
the yelling and the chaos of the video to the

(01:45:32):
guy who's just dancing all the time, Today's one hit
wonder from Boston the Mighty Mighty boss Stones with the
impression that I.

Speaker 19 (01:45:43):
Get close, magesty close to folks, so powerful, so heavy you.

Speaker 13 (01:46:30):
Because that's the impression.

Speaker 3 (01:46:38):
The song itself is rather bouncing and fun, but the
reality is it's actually kind of a depressing song that
asked a question. Hey, yeah, you ever been in a
situation where you get kicked in the grundle where you're
blessed living this great life, but then you've got to
actually face real heartache, tragedy and their whole thought processes.

(01:47:02):
It's about witnessing, is what they're doing, rather than experiencing,
because they had seen tragedy in their lives, but they
had never really felt it. That's why you hear things
like never had to knock on wood, which is so true.
All of us are that way. How many times you

(01:47:23):
ever said that where you just go knock on wood
right by the grace of God, and that's kind of
what the song is about.

Speaker 13 (01:47:29):
I'm not a cow I've just never been tested.

Speaker 28 (01:47:32):
I'm not gonna get that.

Speaker 13 (01:47:33):
If I was, I would pass.

Speaker 19 (01:47:34):
You get the tested in them before their brisk of wires.
Might be a coward, I'm afraid of one might find out.

Speaker 3 (01:47:42):
But a song to this day that still makes you bounce,
and maybe the thing that is the most entertaining about
the Mighty Mighty boss Stones so they never forgot where
they came from, Boston Centric and that included their buddy
Ben Carr. If you've ever seen them, you'll notice he
plays no interest. He doesn't sing, he just dances. He's

(01:48:05):
their hype guy. It kind of handles their day to
day stuff. It's a fun song, no doubt about that.
But a song that does make you sing. And yes,
while the bouncing is there, when you really think about it,
songs kind of depressing when you look at the words.

Speaker 13 (01:48:23):
Gone wood because I know soon wonder five.

Speaker 21 (01:48:29):
It makes you wonder if five never had I bet
of not gone wood because I'm sure it is good
and I'm glad I haven't been yet.

Speaker 18 (01:48:40):
That's the impression on that.

Speaker 3 (01:48:41):
Again, what a great song, Mighty mighty Bosston't you're one
hit wonder today the impression that I get appreciate you
guys playing along. Several of you have sent me that
over the last several weeks. Do this and we did.
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart
right here on the Chad Benson Show, other solid fun
show in the books. Man. We talked, we had one

(01:49:04):
hit wonder, Little White Women. We talked about Mount Everest.
We talked about inflation, China, Russia, Iran, US. We talked
about that whole bunch of stuff today as well as
the World Cup and many other things. We do so
many things. And the hauntavirus, which could be anywhere, or
it could be nowhere. You know where. It's not up

(01:49:26):
on Everest because too cold, because that's not where you
find it. Because it's called the Andes hauntavirus. That's fun.
This would be called the Everest virus. You guys have
a blessed rest of you today. We got you over
the humpbleed. Do it again tomorrow as always, Night Night Jack.

Speaker 1 (01:49:43):
This is the Chad Benson Show.
