Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:30):
The following program contains course language and adult themes. Listener
discretion is advised and welcome to another episode of The

(01:08):
Cocktail Lounge. I am your hostess with the Mostess, Maggie,
and with me as always, is the ever suave, affable
and profitable co host Brad Sliger. How are you doing tonight?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Brad doing stupendous? It was a big weekend and tonight
was the opening puck drop of the NHL season. Panthers
raised the banner, got their rings and won the game.
So it's everything's everything's coming up Millhouse tonight.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Okay, well, I'm glad to hear that you are now
in the in the clutch of your favorite time of
the year, hockey and football season.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
So yes, that's nice combined basically just yeah, overflowing with
goodness and as long as you don't count the Miami Dolphins,
everything's going really well.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Well, I don't really pay attention to the NFL anymore,
but I did see where that's just that hometown peeps
over here in Dallas we're not doing so great, so.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
And I'm like, oh, well, it's really a bizarre weekend
in the NFL. A lot of upsets it was including
last night Monday night game, Kansas City loses to Jacksonville. What.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
I was very surprised when you told me that, because,
like I said, I didn't watch it, but I that
was unexpected. Maybe it's just.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
This is how bad it was. Uh, Jacksonville had I
don't know. It was like third and goal with about
twenty seconds to go. Their quarterback gets the snap, his
foot is stepped on by the center, falls on his ass.
He tries to get up, falls on his ass the
second time. Kansas City can't get through to him, so

(03:21):
that he gets up and he's scrambling like a bat
out of hell with his hair on fire and finds
his way into the end zone for the winning touchdown
with like twenty one seconds run. It was hilarious. Wow,
it had to be the most inept touchdown I've ever
seen scored, and it was against Kansas City. And you're like, well, okay,

(03:43):
the only thing that drove me really nutty is that
I got I have. I lost my fantasy by one
point six points and it's in Kansas City's driving down
and if that damn bread quarterback could have at least
thrown a pass or running in himself. I would have
won the game right there. But no, let's hand it

(04:05):
off like five times and then this.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
I keep telling you, dude, you're doing it wrong. You
should do it my way.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Just why mascots and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
No, pick you pick the team based on their mascots.
I'm not talking you pay, like are your favorite mascots,
and then you pick the people that are on from
those mascots. That's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
You have to build a roster. Don't understand how fings.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
I'm not saying one mascot. I'm saying, pick fourteen mascots
that you like, or fourteen colors that you prefer, and
then pick the people from those particular colors or mascots.
I mean, come on, even I know you're supposed to
make a roster from different parts of the NFL. I'm
just saying, use colors, use use something else.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
You sounded confused, that's reason. But it's my weekends that way.
But at least we did very well on Saturday, you
and I, Yeah, we did. It was uh, it was
kind of I had to basically cajole one of the

(05:19):
waitresses because I went out to the tavern to go
watch Miami play FSU. So of the twenty one televisions,
all twenty one had to be on Miami, and I
was like, okay, how about that one? Can you put
on Texas A and M. So I got to watch
much of your game in between mine.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
It wasn't it was It was a fun game. One
of the things that I was following was actually how
people were upset about the whole blackout situation. Those of
you not in the no Texas A and M maroon
and white, Mississippi State maroon and white. So we have

(05:54):
black uniforms that we wear on certain occasions. This was
I think the fourth time we wore them, and the
reason for that was they're gonna be I think they
can only be born at home. But also to prevent confusion,

(06:15):
so it's not about it just happens to play that
it's like a power play, but it's actually you're you're
actually being nice to the other team by saying, yeah,
we're going to differentchise the franchise ourselves. Okay, so it's
all right, but there were a lot of people that
were confused about the whole thing. Oh why do they
have to wear black? And I'm like, because they can't.

(06:37):
But even I mean, the entire stadium was in their
black shirts, you know and everything. But one of the
things that I was following was there is a popular
Instagram account englishman in Texas. His name is Ali Petti
Group and he lives not far from where I used

(06:58):
to live, and he had expressed a curiosity about college
football and he actually put it out there. The only
school that reached out to him was Texas A and M.

(07:18):
They said, we would love to host you. We would
love to bring you in so that you can experience
what it's like to be at an Aggie game. Well,
he was like, well, thank you. I'm waiting to see
if any other people from other you know, schools, you know,
contact me or anything, because I like to have you know.
He said. Several people from different schools said hey, you

(07:41):
should check out, you know, our school or whatever, but
it was our school the only school that actually reached
out to him and said come experience it. So he
goes to experience it, and he said, he's like, you know,
we just arrived here and we're going to something called Uh,

(08:02):
we can't go we can't know, we cannot go to
the hotel right now because we're going to midnight Yell practice.
I'm not sure what that is, but apparently there's going
to be a lot of yelling. And this is this
guy is adorable with little Jackson and everything. His wife
is absolutely beautiful and she is like, oh honey, you know,
because she's from here. So so they you know, he

(08:24):
goes off and because the school invited him, he's actually
on the sidelines for midnight Yell and for the game,
and so he got a lot of video, he got
a lot of pictures and everything, and he he said
he was very surprised because a lot of the people
that were replying to his posts both on social media

(08:49):
kept saying, oh, that place is a cult, and so
as he's walking away after you know, his experience and everything,
he says, yes, it's a cult, but you may call
it a cult, but here it's an experience. There's a
kinship that cannot be explained until you're in it. And
so he was explaining the whole concept from the outside

(09:11):
you don't understand. From the inside, you can't explain, you know,
which is something that we always talk about at Texas
A and M. You really can't explain to me. There's
so many traditions that they've written books volumes on our traditions.
So he had a marvelous time, and he's definitely, you know,
he says, I'm definitely coming back. And it was funny

(09:32):
because he said people from a certain other university, you know,
called it a cult, and I'm like, yeah, I know
they did, because it's very very jealous, those those burnt
orange people. But it was a it was a fun game.
Like I said, it was a blackout game, and so
the entire student body was wearing black T shirts, the

(09:55):
exception of the core of Cadets and the band obviously
and Mississippi State.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
It was a good look. I thought.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, Mississippi State was the first one to score three.
There were up three zero at the end of the
first quarter, and it was just and we were having
problems with our penalties, and I think we had like
nine penalties for like sixty odd yards or some ridiculous

(10:24):
amount like and like I said, some of them we
we totally owned, but there were some that were very questionable,
and even the commentators were saying, this is kind of questionable.
I don't see where they're saying that this happened or whatever.
So but that happened in the game previous as well,
and there was talk about investigating the referee, but I

(10:48):
don't think anything came about that. I think people were
just mad because, yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
But you did it right too, because you know, the
one way you beat the referees is to just score
so much that they can't have the effect that It
was kind of funny that the weekend had a number
of games where the favorite team gave up a field
goal first and then went on to just shit hammer
their competition your game, and Miami worked two of them.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Well, this is something that happened. I think you remember
every time the new season rolls around, if we score first,
I'm like complete anxiety basket case, because usually if we
score first, that means we're going to lose a game.
But if the opposing team scores first, then I feel better.
So when Mississippi State actually scored first, I was like, Okay,

(11:38):
we can now win this game.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Now. Well, well, Miami had actually worked out fine, because
you know, this is the big rivalry FSU Miami. That's
something that you know they played every year, but this
is the first time in fifteen years. I want to
say that the two teams were ranked at the same time.
So that's a positive sign right there. Gave up that
opening drive to them, and you know, at first it

(12:04):
was like, holy crap, they're just running all over us.
But I think the Hurricanes just used that opening drive
as an adjustment, just like, Okay, this is what they do,
and from that point on pretty much shut them down.
They went four straight touchdowns after that. It was glorious
three I think at least three of the drives were
seventy five yards or more. So they just controlled things

(12:27):
and then the best was they got an interception and
then the very next play was a forty four yard
touchdown and the game was pretty much out of control
at that point, and no, Miami just backed off the
throttle until the final i think ten minutes and FSU
got a couple of late touchdowns that meant nothing. So
really nice.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Okay, was FSU supposed to underperform or I mean, who
was favored by?

Speaker 2 (12:57):
What the Hurricanes were fair and I want to say
by five going into it and touchdowns no five points.
The Seminoles have a pretty good running game between there.
They got two running backs, plus the quarterback Costiganos is
pretty good runner himself and so that's also played to

(13:19):
the strength of Miami's defense. The run defense is phenomenal,
So that's what I was watching. Oh, that would basically
balance out, And after that first drive they just tightened
everything down. FSU pretty much couldn't get anything going until
the fourth quarter when we put in backups and then

(13:41):
the end result. But funny enough, here's an interesting stat
for you going into the weekend. It was three teams
in all of college football had yet to trail in
any of their games. Hurricanes were one of them. Gave
up that opening drive and screwed that up. The other

(14:03):
was Maryland Terrapins, surprisingly enough, and they opened up a
twenty to zero lead and ended up losing. I wonder
what the heck happened? How did that occur?

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Oh? I can one hundred percent tell you how that happened.
They were up twenty to nothing and at one point
twenty to three, with Washington down at the goal line,
third down and goal, they throw a pass into the
end zone the Maryland cornerback. Beautiful stop. So as college

(14:37):
kids do, they celebrate, Well, the idiots that wear the
black and white stripes decided to throw an unsportsmanlike conduct
penalty on the Maryland cornerback for his celebration.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Now what was the celebration.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
It was putting a seat belt on and locking it down.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Oh wow, grievous.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
And of course Washington would score on the next play.
Fast forward a little bit later in the game, it is,
oh god, what is it twenty to I think it's
still twenty to ten. It might have been twenty to seventeen.
This might have been the go ahead goal. Well, anyway,
Maryland gets called on another third down stop for targeting

(15:31):
because the Maryland guy used his head to hit the
Washington running backs shoulder pad.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
The shoulder pad.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yeah, yeah, they're really trying to tighten down even more
on that targeting thing because I saw another game Saturday
where they called somebody to where he he did go
in and he went head down and wrapped the guy
up and his helmet hit him in the chest. Yeah,
and say thing they called targeting because they just said,
if you lead with the crown automatic, no matter what.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Yeah, it was a beautiful tackle by any standard, but
because his crown of the defender's helmet hit the running
back shoulder pad. And the worst part is, okay, I
understands as a former referee in hockey, you get calls wrong,

(16:26):
but these jack wagons went to review and got it wrong.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Of course.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Like seriously, outside of hockey right now, is there any
sport that doesn't suck ass when it's come the refereeing.
I mean, Major League Baseball is so bad with people
behind the plate that the one guy who managed to
umpire a perfect game behind the plate is banned from
MLB because he was his friend was making bets on

(16:53):
a sports site. By the way, the seventh and the
thing stretch is brought to you by DraftKings, so you
have you have.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
It's bad that the owners actually voted in the ABS system,
so the balls and strikes will be computerized and you
can challenge up to I think three times a game,
but if you get it right, you get to keep
the challenge. That's how bad the refereeing has been in baseball.
It's how bad it's been in college football. It's been
as bad as it's been in the NFL. It's absolutely ridiculous.

(17:24):
It pisses me off. I will go on record, it
is harder to referee a hockey game for six to
ten year olds than it is for semi professionals. And above,
because at least those idiots know what they're doing and
you can clearly see every intent that they're doing, where
under the age of twelve you don't know if they're
just stupid or horrible. It's absolutely aggravating. It makes no

(17:48):
sense that these guys are making quarter of a million
dollars a year to be umpires and referees in these
sports and they can't even get their damn eyes checked anyway.
Marylynd lost twenty four to twenty.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
That was the surprising part, is that they've been leading
all season, they give up twenty to zero and they
ended up losing. That was just jaw dropping when I
saw that.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
Yeah, I am never, never, ever won to blame a
referee for a loss unless it's the last play of
the game and it was blatant. Or if you're a
first base umpire in a Major League baseball game and
the pitcher had just threw a perfect game and you
call the runner safe and then the guy gets the
twenty eighth out, so he faced twenty eight people got

(18:35):
twenty eight outs and he doesn't get credit for the
perfect game. I get pissed off at that, but that
watching that game, you could literally see the guys on
the Maryland sideline look at each other other like we're
not gonna win. We are not allowed to win. Now.

(18:56):
It's the head coach's fault and the other coach's fault
for not noticing it and rally the troops. But you
could live. You could see them the fleet after the
seat belt. And the worst part is, we're, what game
five of the season. This guy has done that three
times this year, the same celebration and never got called.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
So yeah, that's this is this is kind of shades
of I'm sure you guys are old enough to remember
one of the greatest comebacks ever was Buffalo Bill's versus
Houston Oilers. Houston Oilers were up thirty five to zero

(19:39):
at the half and Buffalo Bill's came to win at
thirty eight to thirty five.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Frank rch of the University of Maryland.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
But yeah, it seems to me like that was kind
of nitpicking, like they were looking two.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Yes, they were. They were absolutely told before the game
to look for it. They were told to look for
excessive celebrations, and somehow the guy reaching up to his
right shoulder pulling the seat belt imaginary seat belt strap
and locking it down beside him on his left side
was too reminiscent of pulling an arrow or some kind
of sword play.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Well, I told you he didn't know.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
He had done it multiple times.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
And because he had done it multiple times, somebody told,
you know, gave them the heads up, Hey, he's going
to be doing that, so you know, look for it,
and blah blah blah. I mean it happened. I was
telling you about that years and years and years ago.
I think we were playing SMU still in the Southwest
Conference or something, and we, you know, tackle the guy

(20:49):
and the guy goes, yes, that got him, That got
him a penalty, excessive celebration. I'm like, really, we can't
do that.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Now.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
A team is the New Orleans Saints and they have
a guy back on the team now that originally started
with them. When he would first score a touchdown, he
would pull an imaginary quiver out and shoot it up
at the audience, shoot it up at the crowd. Eventually,
somewhere the No Fun League set deemed that is violence.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
Oh yeah, remember, yes, the guns up.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, that's one of the newer ones. They said that
they were going to penalize hard anybody that does gun
play or weaponry.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
In It sucks because Texas Tech finger guns. But that's
what Texas Tech does. They're the Raiders. That is their symbol.
How are you going to penalize something that has been
done for years now? It's bad.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
Really, it's my last comment on this whole thing. The
wissification that is being forced on I'll say it off
of men in sports because most everyone that plays the
sport is an alpha male of some sort to get
to this level, the wisification being forced on them where

(22:09):
they can't celebrate, you can't do this. It just all
pisses me off.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
What is this that friend?

Speaker 2 (22:16):
I said? Sorry punters, Oh, come on, they're not bat
of males. It's a joke.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Okay, fine, some of them. So anyway, thank.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
You for letting me rant.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Well, well, there wasn't the sports news from the weekend.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Oh no, no, it was not. I'm just going to
retire now.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
The freaking news came across the wire on Sunday morning
where Mark Sanchez has apparently done the impossible and may
have finally erased the biggest shame in his career, which
was the butt fumble.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
This crime was the butt fumble of crime. I mean,
I just can't get over this.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
And to be fair, well, this is how it first
came out, was that Mark's mm hmm, I.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Mean the butt fumble was something that could not be helped.
I mean, it was just serendipitous. Everything happened this, this
could have been out. He took it upon himself to
actually take to do those actions.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
Well, this is how it first came out, the initial reports.
You know, like everybody at the same time, Oh, prayers
going out to Mark Sanchez. He was attacked overnight, was
stabbed in the chest and is in intensive care because
he got into a squabble with a food delivery guy.
And it's like, what the hell? How you know what's

(23:59):
wrong with these zuber each drivers and everybody? Door dasher.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
I'm sorry, the whole thing is ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
So right there, you're like, what the living hell was
going He's on the road. He was supposed to call
the game for the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday and this
happened just after midnight, you know, Saturday, Sunday morning. The
guy nearly dies and it was like, what the hell?
Holdly cop, and then all of a sudden, the you know,

(24:32):
you figured you were to hear about this all day.
Prayers go out to more extensions. Here's what you could
ready for the kickoff for the Chyan Diego Chargers. But
then they started to drop it. There was hardly mention
it throughout the rest of the day. And it's like,
that's curious. And so I'm watching games and I'm doing
my NC double A right up, and you know, getting

(24:55):
ready for the polar come out, and I keep checking
back on the news. It's like, the other guy got
hurt too. Wait, he attacked the other guy. Wait, charges
against Mark Sanchez while he's laid up in the hospital,
and You're okay, what the living health happened?

Speaker 1 (25:11):
And it was weird the way that the the tidbits
of facts were coming out, Like you know MD mentioned
At first we thought it was in a food delivery
you know Uber Eats or you know door dash guy.
It turns out he was a grease collector for that
particular restaurant. And I was just like, this gets more

(25:31):
bizarre the more you read into it, because honestly, I
don't know what he was thinking. I don't know how
how much alcohol he had to have been imbibing in
order to get to this point, maybe it was warm
wood absence. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
This is basically the evolution of the story. So Mark
Sanchez nearly dies in an attack. Mark Sanchez was actually
involved in a scuffle. Mark Sanchez was in a fight
and is possibly responsible. He gets charged with assault, and
then we find out that this was a fight over

(26:15):
a parking space supposedly. It's like, wait, what the hell?
He was drunk off his ass. Now it's come to
light that there was no parking discrepancy going on. Mark
Sanchez was hammered coming out of an establishment, and for
some reason, Mark is down an alley at a guy

(26:37):
that's collecting to spent grease from one of the restaurants
in the area. Gets into a fight with this guy
and is attacking him to such a degree that the
guy actually pulls out a knife and stabs Mark Sanchez
in self defense.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
I know, and I should not laugh because this is
this is serious. No you get I'm seriously wounded.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Well, the other guy was Mark Sanchez was Mark Sanchez
probably didn't feel it because he was probably six tequilas evening.
He has been charged now and they've upgraded charges and
added to the list. He's got right. Now, he's facing
felony battery involving serious bodily injury mistermeanor battery with injury

(27:23):
mistermeanor unlevel entry of a motor vehicle, and public intoxication.
Pretty much the way this spells out now is he
got into a shouting match with this guy. They started fighting,
The guy retreats to his truck, and Sanchez, drunk off
his ass, continues on beating the guy inside his vehicle

(27:45):
to the extent that he finally got a knife and
neutralized the situation by sinking it into his sternum. I hell,
I mean.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
I'm totally okay with I've been drunk.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
But I've never been Yeah, but.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
You know what I've actually seen you, you know, pleasantly tipsy,
but you're an agreeable person when you're you're fun. This
guy seems to be hostile when he's drunk. And you know,
there are several classifications of drunks I have I've seen

(28:21):
throughout my lifetime, seeing several members of my family to
be on the alcoholic side. You have your judgmental drunk,
you have your mean drunk, you have your fun drunk,
and you have your philosophical drunk. Those have been the
major four, and most people fit into one of those categories.
This guy was in the hostile, angry, mean drunk phase.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Well, if I'm who else was with him? How come
like when he's marching down in Alley's like, I'm gonna
go to show this guy what's going on. You know
you can't take my grease, you son of a.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Bitch, the lady, I don't think I've been there.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
Well, I will promise you as if I was defending him,
I would just go to the jury or the judge,
defending what kind of case it is, and go your honor.
It is leftover anger issues from the times he spent
playing for the New York Jets. Case dismissed.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Well, that's the thing. This guy played in New York
and he never had an instigate like this take place.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
But yeah, that's that is odd.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Indianapolis, he loses his nut and almost dies. I mean, what, that's.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
An interesting phrase, loses his not I'm sorry, I'm still
reeling from yesterday's fi Osco on our show with Deaf
and myself. No, no, I think he means this.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
I mean I've never really gotten into the anger drunk
phase of things like even I don't think I've ever.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
I just get I get giggly, and everything seems funny
to me, and I just I pay attention to what
people are doing more. I'm more aware of what people
are doing.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
And I had a friend of mine. Every time he
got blasted and he was ready to just fight anybody.
And we were at a place one time he was
just he was completely gone and picks a fight with
a guy. He gets and the guy levels my friend.
You know, it's like I'm in the middle trying to
peacefull yague. You know, it's like Dan, you're not helping,

(30:38):
and it's I mean, I was taller than everybody, so
I kind of you know, quelled things for a bit,
except my friend wouldn't stop, so he like burst through
us and jabs this guy again. Well he levels my
friend cold cox and boomed down. My friend's huge, but
he was you know, we've been there for hours, let's
just say that. So he was in no condition. And

(30:58):
so you know, we're working again him out and I'm
mollifying the rest of the air crowd and somebody's like, yeah,
he just found out he's getting dispatched to desert storm.
That was like, say, no more.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
That makes sense.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
So we're in the parking lot and get ready to leave,
and then my friend sees himself in the mirror. He's like,
that's it. I'm going to go after him. And it's like,
you're not doing a damn thing. This guy's pissed off
about being sent to the desert and he's like no,
and so he starts streaking out. I just stick my
leg out and tripped my friends up, face down on
the pavement. He gets up and he's like, we're going home. Yeah,

(31:40):
good call. Now where was this wisdom thirty minutes ago?
But that's kind of just the way, you know, we
I realized that's the way things were.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
I you know, I've seen the gamut of how people
react with alcohol, but it has been my experience that
people who tend to be on the meaner side tend
to be more physically active about it and tend to
strike out a lot. And my guess that's where he
was at, because none of this makes any sense otherwise.

(32:13):
I just I can't understand why. I mean, you're coming
out of a bar. You come out through the front door, right,
you don't come out through the side door. In the alley,
so he actually physically had walked around.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
Like I initially thought the guy was, you know, delivering food,
and Sanchez was like, oh wait a second, you got
this wrong. Oh shut up, butt fumble, just eat the food,
you know. And then something sparked from that. No, no,
bronk off his ass picking a fight with the grease
recycling guy. That was.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
I'm assuming I'm going to fire him when approach.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
I don't think we're going to see him in the
booth anytime soon, or or ever. He might have to
work his way up, like through the ACC channel or
something like that. He can suscitate his career that way,
but we.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Channel because I want I don't want him competing with
Tim Tebow.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Yeah, Mark, Uh, we could use you in the Mountain
West Saturday morning program. West un l V and Boise
State are going off and something like that.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Oh, don't get me started.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Well, I saw an interesting program last night tied into
all of this stuff. Have you Uh have you seen
the TV show on Hulu Chad Powers? No? I have not.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
I mean, it's you know, football related, so it's I
had my interest in it just starting.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
I figured I figured it had to do with football.
Because it ties into our current episodes.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
And drops so far. I mean, it's got Glenn Howard.
Did I like the guy. He's just I like him
because he's just so damn pretty. But he actually acts
and doesn't rest on it. You know. It's not like
he just goes in front of the camera and goes suck.
You know. He's actually got some chops. The guy's good
and he's funny. He's hilarious at times and played this

(34:25):
role and when I saw what it was like, I
gotta watch this. There was they did. It's kind of
like a video segment of Comedically with Eli Manning on
ESPN a couple of years ago, and they had him
show up at a small college in costume. He had
like prosthetics on and a wig, and he was going

(34:46):
to be like a walk on see if he can
make the team. And the coaches, you know, like one
coach was in on it, but nobody else was. So
they let him do like warm ups and such, and
he was kind of, you know, acting like a lost
soul and looked like a fool, and then they put
him behind center and all of a sudden, he just
lights up and he's hitting guys sixty yards down the
field and hitting routes and everything like that, and you know,

(35:10):
and they're just watching the reaction to the rest of
the guys and they're just like, who's this jackass?

Speaker 1 (35:15):
What the hell?

Speaker 2 (35:16):
You know? And it was hilarious. So they actually decided
to option this for a TV show and.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Oh, so it's gonna be like a series.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Yeah, yeah, just started. Now. Did you did you see
any of the NFL highlights this weekend?

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Be serious?

Speaker 2 (35:36):
Okay, okay, I'm it wasn't a challenge.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
I was being polite, but you were very very polite, appreciate.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
And one of the one of the upsets. The Cardinals
ended up losing the game, even though they had built
up something like they were up like twenty four to three.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
At one point, I did hear that they were really
like really far and I don't know what happened. It
was almost like they.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Quick well the yeah, the well there's actually a football
term to describe this, and it is they shit the bed.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
Yes, okay, So at.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
One point one of their rookie running backs breaks out
hits it was like a sixty yard run. You know,
he just you know, gets through the line, cuts through
some linebackers and gone, he's a vapor. And then right
as he gets to the goal line and celebration, he
drops the football before scoring, promptly goes out of the

(36:31):
end zone. Touchback, two points for the other day possession,
another touchdown, and all of a sudden they're back in
it and they end up losing. This is the second
time that took place this year in the league. Guy
in Indianapolis did the same bonehead move about two or
three weeks ago. Anyway, so the show starts off this way.

(36:54):
He's uh, Chad Bowers is like a highest just superstar
quarterback in college playing for the Ducks Rose Bowl tie
game late, same thing. He breaks like a seventy yard
run and then he drops the football on the one
yard line and he's celebrating in the end zone and
then Georgia picks up the ball and runs it back
for the winning touchdown. But it cracked me up because

(37:17):
the guy is from Arizona. When he did it, everybody
was saying the same thing. It's like, oh, dumbassy Chad
powers it. Well, now I gotta watch this show.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
Wow. Okay, So basically he's.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
You know, down on his luck in his life he's
out of football, YadA YadA. His dad's a special effects
expert for Hollywood. And then he after like three years
of doing nothing, he actually steals a truck with his
dad's equipment, goes to South Georgia, puts on the makeup,
and he's trying out now to be their quarterback for
the year. I mean, it's it's very very high concept far.

(38:00):
It's kind of funny though it's worth the time. But
since we spoke, found some information out that's even more hilarious.
I want to say, was last Monday or Tuesday, I
think was the series premiere something like that. Like I said,

(38:22):
it just dropped. And there's an actress in the movie show,
Brittany Ray Carrero, And on her Instagram account she posts
a video they're doing a watch party at her house
for the debut, got the family around and everything else,

(38:42):
and then all of a sudden, she stands up on
the sofa and says, what And I mean, she's like shrieking.
You can't even listen to this. You can find the video,
definitely put the mute on. But she starts raging in
the living room, losing her nut. This is how she
found out that she'd been edited out of the.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Movie, didn't tell her.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
Is this the one?

Speaker 2 (39:04):
Who I think it is? Yes, it is. I'm going
I'm going to say I think some of this might
be contrived. Maybe not, I don't know. But what makes
it even funnier The role that she was supposed to
be in took place in a bar. You know, this
is before Chad Powers makes the truck across the country

(39:28):
and the role that Britney ray Carrera had apparently went
to Haley Welch, I e. The Hawk toa girl.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
Oh who is hm hmm. She's still kind of like
persona non grata after that core pretty much.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
Now, yeah, but I mean basically they cast her as her.
You know, it's not like in the role of Tiffany. No,
she was in the bar as the hawk to a girl.
That's it's showing like the sub level of celebrity that
Chad Powers is in now. And I mean, if anybody's

(40:16):
I don't want to spoil it, if anybody wants to
watch it. But then there was like a little plot
development online and then afterwards everybody couldn't stand him, and
even she says, don't tell people we met. It's like
the plow like even the hawk. I was like, we're
doing so I can see why they did it. I'm
I'm dubious that they wouldn't tell this girl though, that

(40:37):
she was edited out.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
That just that sounds kind of weird. But it used
to be that, and this was a while back, you know,
back eighties nineties timeframe. You were picked up for a
role and you did your lines and filmed and everything afterwards,
if they cut you out there, as long as they

(40:59):
paid you, they're not obligated to keep your scenes in
the film. That's literally what happened to Kevin Costner in
The Big Chill. He was supposed to play Alex the
dead body, right, and they actually cut that, but he
was paid for it, but he didn't know he had

(41:19):
been cut until you know, Cassen actually called him up
and said, hey, I owe you an apology. I ended
up cutting you, but I want to make it up
to you and I want to offer you this role.
And that was on Silverado, if I recall correctly. So
they're not obligated to tell you, at least they've weren't.

(41:40):
But then, you know, Union being what it is, I'm
sure I'm sure that they take care of that now,
So they may be obligated to tell you if you
have been cut, but if you've been paid, what difference
does it make you were paid to do a job,
you did the job discussion.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
And another reason why I'm a little dubious about the
accuracy of all of this. I mean, you know, Hayley
says that she's been in contact with the actress in
their cool but Brittany Ray Carrera is an actress slash comedian,
and I wonder if she didn't do this as kind
of a she probably was notified and they, you know,

(42:23):
like staged this or something like that.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
Possibly it's possible, I mean, And.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
Then just to tie everything all together because I love
to do this professionally. One of the co stars with
Glenn Powell is Perry Mattfeld. She plays coach daughter. No no, no,
She's got kind of a cool role. She's the coach's daughter.
She's involved with the team though and trying to build

(42:50):
into it. And you can see there might be love
interest down the line or such, but she's in Chad
Powers and in real life, guess who she's married to.
Mark Sanchez is no way.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
I did not even know that one.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
I found that out myself. I'm just the entire episode
goes full circle. Sorry, threw her nose.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
To Mararita, she's married to Mark Sanchez. Oh my word,
what a train wreck.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
So stories just at least she has a job. At
least she made it on screen too, how about that?

Speaker 3 (43:50):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (43:51):
Okay, but yeah, that's a that's gonna be a gut
punch though for this other one who finds out that
not only was she kicked out of the movie, but
she was replaced by the Hawk to a girl.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
Oh it can be. I mean, it's happened to the
best of us. We've been replaced, so you know, been
there when it came to And I'm not talking about movies,
filming or anything like that, but on stage, you know,
when we're doing plays and that kind of thing, and

(44:23):
it can be a little rough, especially when you spend
time learning your lines and getting into character and working
on your costume and then you go in and you're told, oh,
can you lend her your costume because she's going to
be doing the role from now on? And I'm like, sure, yeah,

(44:44):
so I can. I can. I can understand it if
it happened. I don't know if it happened because you know,
like you said, it could be complete attention stunt, you know,
trying to garner more, you know, I to come look
at the show or whatever.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
So yeah, I mean I've been through it as well.
I found out, uh you know, about twelve months ago.
I was up for a job too, and then found
out I got replaced by Jeffrey Tuban. Sorry I left
my pants on. I didn't think that it's a joke.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
Failed God, So I have to step in, not as
only producer, but as a program director because you're talking plays.
Yes I have to display this.

Speaker 1 (45:36):
Yes, yes, we have decided we being the collectively, but
it was mostly you.

Speaker 3 (45:42):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (45:43):
We'll be doing the They the Earth Stood Still. That
will be our spooky duxtover play for this month, so
that should be a lot of fun. I can't wait.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Ye, the k l r N players will be putting
on a Halloween.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
I really hope it's the older not the newer, because
the newer one was so disappointing. Let's just be I
don't care if I was still upset.

Speaker 2 (46:16):
But they're always based on the old radio plays anyway, so.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
Yes, but sometimes they take liberties and frankly, I'm like
so done with that. I'm like, there they stand the
test of time for a reason. Like I know that
everybody liked War of the World with Tom Cruise in it.
I was just like, God, there's not enough liquor to
get me through this movie. But I managed. But there

(46:45):
were some things that they kept from the books that
was not in the radio serial and they were not
in the original film, and so I get it. I
get it, but you know, I just don't want it
to be ending up like the Happening.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
That was That was three years that happened.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
My god, that is I'm serious. That, along with The Core,
are one of the best drinking movies. Because you're you're
doing shots for these movies, you're gonna pass out after
ten minutes. They're just so ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
There's I don't know if you ever saw this, somebody
took for the Happening. You know the the Supremes, you
know their song called the Happening. Yes, somebody basically cut
together all of the depths scenes from that movie with

(47:45):
that song playing over it. And it is just a happy,
bouncy you know, you know, and everything is just upbeaten,
just smiling, and you're watching a lawnmower run over a guy,
You're watching people fist. It was all hilarious.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
One one scene that I liked in that entire movie
that I felt was okay for this scene alone, I'm
glad I watched it, and that was when Mark Wahlberg
was actually talking to a ficus and it happened to
be a plastic plant. That's the only scene I liked
in the movie. That's it.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
Well, come on, what's going on? Plant? You're all all
dusty and stuff. What's up? You know?

Speaker 1 (48:24):
He's like, look, we're really sorry about what's going on,
but you know, we need you know, we're just trying
to survive, and blah blah blah. I'm going and he's
just talking to this plant, and I'm like, and you
can tell it's fake plant. That was the whole point,
you know, Shamulaine made sure you could tell it was
a fake plant.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
But anyway you could shoot us with your spores, you
can't do that, so you can't.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
So ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
What a film? Yeah, well you got a I don't know.
There's all kinds of upheaval.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
And okay, before we started, did you see my show tweet?

Speaker 2 (49:11):
I did?

Speaker 1 (49:12):
Okay, did you get what I did Alias Smith and Jones.
Did you get that I did? Okay? Cool because not
a lot of people know that that was a TV
show back sixties and I used to watch that religiously
with my dad. And when I noticed it it's Jay

(49:34):
Jones and Jack Smith, I was like, Alias Smith and Joe's,
Oh my gosh, I could do it. So I just
want to give myself a little pat because that was genius.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
Go on, craft, died a joke for yourself.

Speaker 1 (49:49):
I did. And it worked.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
As long as I and long as they made you happy.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
It did.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
It was I was totally through that had a shitty day,
and I was totally thrilled about it.

Speaker 2 (50:02):
So well, if people are not aware, it sounds kind
of ridiculous for us to discuss the attorney general election
race taking place in the state of Virginia, Like who
cares about this? You know? But they're making us care,

(50:25):
that's the funny part.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
They're forcing us to care. So hey, we're going to care.
We're going to go in there caring.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
So the guy running on the Democrat side goes by
the name of Jay Jones, hence one half of Aggie's punchline,
and in this election, They've come up with something of
an October surprise because I guess the election takes place

(50:52):
next month. How about that it has been revealed that
this guy is disturbing as hell. I'm Harry, So I'm
not even sure the origin of this, you know, like
who leaked it or.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
How, but I do I know what happened. The recipient
actually sent the screenshots to the person that it was concerning,
which was the person that was being threatened by j Jones,
A Gopes, and so he's the one that leaked them.

(51:30):
She didn't leak them directly. She just felt, hey, you
should know that this guy is thinking this way of you.
And she has gotten a lot of heat for that.
But I'm like, of course yes, because.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
How dare you expose the truth about a Democrat that
you're going to get in huge trouble for that in
the media.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
The thing is she was she was very concerned because,
like the text show, he kept doubling down on it.
So it's not like it was a one off. It
wasn't a joke or anything like that, and so she
was very concerned and said, listen, you should be aware
that this person that Jay Jones has said these concerning

(52:13):
things about you, and I would have shrug them off,
but for the fact that he kept talking about it,
and I'm like, well, if you keep doing that, that
shows kind of like wanting an intent.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
Well, there's so many layers just to this exchange that
just strikes me. So basically the thrust of it is
and I've heard people talk this way before, and it's
never usually in joke, for it's always to make a point,
and it's you know, they give you this false premise
where they set up like two or three past totalitarian

(52:50):
dictators and one individual that we all know. You know,
so it's like Hitler Polepot and this other individual and
you've got two bullets you use it on. Well, Jay
Jones said, I'm Gilbert the GOP politician, both bullets in
the head, and like unequivocally so, but he didn't stop.

(53:14):
He keeps going. And then he mentioned it like no, no, seriously,
they should, you know, they should experience what it's like
for their children to die so that they feel that
kind of pain. And the other individual was like trying
to stop him. It's like, Jay, stop it, Jay Jones,
don't do this, and he's like, no, no, they should suffer.

Speaker 1 (53:36):
The coiner was very uncomfortable with the entire exchangees Max
said in the chat, you know, he wanted her to
vote for his proposal, and he had meant to send
a text to someone else, but send it to her.

(53:57):
That's how she got into that text. And you know,
she was like, I think you meant to send this
to somebody else, and then he said, oh yeah, my bad.
But then he kept texting her about this stuff and
it just kept going from there, and there's in.

Speaker 2 (54:14):
A very non comedic fashion.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
No, it was not a joke. No matter what the
left tries to tell you, this was not a joke.
And the way I can prove it I have asked
several people, had this been a conservative saying this about
a liberal, what would you think? Would it be a joke?

Speaker 3 (54:34):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (54:34):
No, and then we're done here, we are completely done.
And they said, oh, but that's different. No, no it's not,
because if it's different, then you're being a hypocrite. You're different.
You're putting a different standard on your guys because you
actually agree with his policy. You actually agree that people

(54:56):
should die in order to feel the pain so that
they will actually do what you want them to do.

Speaker 2 (55:01):
But this goes even further. What sparked this entire conversation
was that I don't know the name, but recently, at
the time these are a couple of years old, there
had been a Democrat who had passed away, and the
Republican that he was scorching dared say polite and sensitive

(55:28):
things about the individual that just passed away. And this
enraged j Jones that a GOP member was being decent
and polite about the passing of a Democrat.

Speaker 1 (55:41):
It's it blows my mind how being a polite person
or actually sending out condolences on the passing of somebody that,
even though you didn't agree with them in policy, you
still feel bad for the family, You feel better that

(56:03):
he's passed. You and I are both old enough to
remember Paul Wellstone, and when he passed away there was
a huge memorial to him. I believe Minnesota I recall correctly.
He was a big time liberal. All of these Republicans
went over there to pay their respects. Trent Lot was there.

(56:23):
I want to say, Gingrich was there. I mean, Paul Simon,
no relation, the guy with the boat tie was there.
I think a lot of them were there that place
turned into a circus because it became they made it
a rally, and so they started screaming at lot. They

(56:46):
started screaming and all of the they ended up getting
up and leaving, and the people threw things at them
and everything, and I'm like, this is a memorial for somebody. Yes,
it was awake, and that's how the left decided to act.

(57:06):
And I was just like, there's that's when I actually,
that's when I started to wake up at the impossibility
of actually reaching across the role with these people.

Speaker 2 (57:16):
Well, have you heard the There's also there's additional information
on Jay Jones that it cracks me up. No end
You heard about his no the traffic infraction.

Speaker 1 (57:29):
Oh yeah, I heard about that. Listen he got I've
been Had I been doing one hundred and sixteen in
a seventy, my ass would have been in jail. I
would not have had community service. And on top of that,
my community service wouldn't have been with my own pack.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
He gets popped. He gets yeah, they slapped him with
like one hundred hours community service and he served it
entirely with his political action committee.

Speaker 1 (57:57):
That's his Did you find out how he's served it,
how he got around it. He kept putting it off.
He kept putting off the the the sentencing until he
completed volunteer hours with his pack, and then he presented
the volunteer hours. But he wasn't supposed to. It's not

(58:17):
supposed to be with the political committee. It's not supposed
to be political. It's supposed to be for the community.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
He served himself.

Speaker 1 (58:25):
He served himself.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
He was working on his own committee, and he had
like secretary's draw letters and like thank you so much,
Jay Jones for assistant us. It was invaluable the time
you spent shut the down. It wasn't invaluable. He made
money off of it. I mean, absolutely disqualifying right there.
But this is the thing is that took place. Everybody

(58:47):
knows about it. This text messaging took place years ago,
and people knew about it, and they're stand out him
out there.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
Way phone call that Coiners can't claims there was a
phone call that also.

Speaker 2 (59:04):
Was very.

Speaker 1 (59:08):
Bad in nature, and of course there is no you know,
Jones is saying, oh there was a phone call, and
I'm going, well, you know, you could say that all
you want, but the point is, because of your previous
history with her, I'm pretty sure most people are going
to believe her, that they're going to believe you.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
Well, even when this first came to light the text messages,
one of the first things he did was, you know,
because like, now he's coming out, I can't believe I
was that person. I hate myself considering I've written these things.
YadA YadA, blah blah blah. One of the first things
he did was sit down with a local TV station

(59:50):
and gave a statement and he's like, you know, look,
I feel bad about this, but we've all done this
in the past, and then he launches into but Trump.
You know, in this there are the hatred that comes
from the right and Donald Trump, so like.

Speaker 1 (01:00:06):
I shouldn't believe his shit. I was like, but Trump,
I'm like, no, that you've lost the case because it
has nothing to do with Trump. This actually happened when
Trump was not even in the Oval office. Okay, he
was nowhere near it. He wasn't even running yet when
this happened.

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
He totally made me text that it's so disgusting that
I was so angry at him and I had to
text it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:28):
It was just because he's a Republican.

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
Shut the hell up. I mean that was his first reaction,
and you could tell now that it blew up in
his face because he's like, now it's three paragraphs of
I can't believe I did this. I'm not that. I
don't know if you said so fully accountable and.

Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
I don't know if you saw. But there was a
tweet that day Jones had back in twenty one that
was found that he was saying, oh, you know, there
was no place for hatred. You should you know, you
should you know, get out of the you know, resign
or get out of the race or whatever. And I'm like,

(01:01:11):
h do you need a mirror that came back to
buy him in the ass. And I'm like, I am
totally here for that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
And here's the thing others.

Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
And here's the thing. I remember. There was a Republican
out of Missouri whose name escaped me. It was four
letters long. I can't remember. What he did was egregious.
We ran him out of town. There was a Republican
in South Carolina or North Carolina, one of the Carolinas

(01:01:45):
that committed election fraud. We ran him out of town.
But the left never never remembers that. They never remember
that we hold our side accountable. They hold their side incorruptible.
So there's a big difference. And having seen that, no

(01:02:06):
one on the left has actually pushed for him to resign,
to actually get out of the race. That's very concerning
because that's a taxed approval of what he has said
and done, and they're not. You know, Abigail Spanburger, she
has been Oh what he said was egregious, but you know,

(01:02:28):
I still back him. Ah No. And the thing is
they probably have other Democrats that they can run for
that office, but it's too close to November.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
So yeah, they're kind of in no man's land at
this point as far as that goes. So they're kind
of screwed as far as uh coming up with a replacement. Now,
they don't have one hundred and seven days. See what
I did there?

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
Yeah, I thought that I did there. They do not have.

Speaker 2 (01:03:06):
I think.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
Now that now that ys and videos. Now you see
how ridiculous I am whenever I laugh my ass awfully here.
So I hope you're in Oh God, I am. But
anywhere go.

Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
On, you're bubbly.

Speaker 3 (01:03:23):
I always say, wow, Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:03:29):
But that's not the only problem. There's a Smith contingent
in the alias Miss aliens, Smiths, and jokes. See, I
can't even talk anymore. So we do have some information
on Jack Smith. It turns out that this gentleman so
cold was actually spying on eight members at the Capitol.

(01:03:58):
So seventh at least seventh senators and one Republican congressman.
We're being spied upon, and this is like way outside
of what anybody thought. Keep in mind, a lot of
the left is saying that we're weaponizing the FBI, we're

(01:04:20):
weaponizing the DOJ, we're weaponizing the fill in the blank
with whatever letters you can find. But here is actual
proof that the FBI was weaponized against GOP members of
the GOP, and a lot of people are like, Okay,

(01:04:41):
we found the proof, Now do something about it, because
like always, you know, something happens, we wait for the
GOP to do something.

Speaker 2 (01:04:56):
Well, what about the other argument they always make, too,
is like, oh my gosh, this is an n't foreseen
attack on political opponents like we've never experienced in them.
Oh you mean Biden did it again?

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (01:05:10):
I'm like anybody that studies politics comical, how.

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
Well, I'll take that back, because political scientists don't actually
study politics. They actually push agendas. Used to be that
political scientists actually did study politics. Now they don't do that,
just like anthropologists no longer study people. They push agendas.
As evidenced by what our friend Jodi posted, I was, okay,

(01:05:39):
this is the total aside. Because I am an anthropology
I do hold an anthropology degree. I did work a
lot in anthropology for for quite a while. But her
daughter is in an anthropology class and one of the
questions in her exam was how inbreading can be catastrophic

(01:06:01):
to you know, culture, and she said true and the
answer was false. So now you're having there there's this
push to actually be okay within breeding because it's happening
across the pond with the with a certain faction of
a certain culture, and they're trying to say, oh no,

(01:06:24):
it's okay because you know this way brings it brings
people closer, it brings the families together. I'm like, well,
of course it brings the families together. They're the same family.
So you know, to see that, you don't want to
get The thing is that question should never have been
in an anthropology exam. That is a question reserved for biology.

(01:06:47):
So when you see things like this, happening in the
salt what I call the soft sciences, which is you know, economics, anthropology, psychology, sociology,
and linguistics or English. Some people say English, some people
say linguistics. That's troublesome because that's where it's insidious, and

(01:07:09):
that's where it starts. If you were to uproot those
five from any college, your college would be okay, it
would right itself. I'm totally serious. I'm not even joking,
but that was that was very concerning when I saw that.
But anyway, moving on, Uh, we're talking about Jack Smith.

Speaker 2 (01:07:35):
Well this is the subject how much this story is
changing already because the once this was exposed, of response
was well, no, no, no, no, he wasn't phone tapping.
All he did was collect phone records to see who
called what phone number and when, and that was it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
Yeah, that's literally what a phone tap is.

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
Well, no, this is phone records.

Speaker 3 (01:08:04):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:08:04):
You don't honestly think that they did not record and
listen to this shit, right, I.

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
Mean, oh no, I completely do not believe that. But
basically it's like, no, no, these are just like I
see a phone number and I see that they called
a different phone and it didn't go any further than that,
I swear, I yo, yo, the hell.

Speaker 1 (01:08:25):
Just a tip, just a tip, that's exactly what this is.
I mean, it's the biggest. Oh yeah, thank you, by
the way, thank you for not doing giggity lest For
those of you that did not tune in for Spirited Books,
I encourage you to go and listen to yesterday's podcast.

(01:08:49):
But anyway, Danielle is absolutely right. Though they're making students
be stupid, they're actually dumbing down education. You don't go
to college to get an education anymore, and I don't.
I never. I haven't felt comfortable about that in a
long time because you know, like for a long time

(01:09:10):
I was volunteering the local high school in the councilor's
office to mentor students, and I was discouraged from actually
suggesting that they go into vocational schooling. I was told
that I needed to encourage them into going to college.
And I'm like, some of these kids can't afford to
go to college. Oh, they can get grants, they can

(01:09:32):
get loans. I'm like, no, I'm definitely not going down
the road. But yeah, you're right, they are dumbing down
kids in college. I mean, you have you know, NYU
had all of those students coming out last year or
a couple of years ago saying, oh, my strengths, not
my degree. My strengths are in this, that and the

(01:09:54):
other thing.

Speaker 2 (01:09:54):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:09:55):
One of them was decolonizing theater. What the hell does
that mean? How do you get a degree in that?

Speaker 2 (01:10:03):
I love it when they say stuff like that. It
just basically you're you're talking high minded without having anything
to say.

Speaker 1 (01:10:12):
Meanwhile, one of my friends over on Twitter, Tim, who
is a well the he was a marine for a
long time, but he went to well In school and
he sold his company for millions of dollars. I'm like, well,
there you go.

Speaker 2 (01:10:28):
So yep, that's exactly it. But now they're completely scrambling
on this Jack Smith stuff because now it's you know,
well we just all we did was look at the
dog numbers. We didn't do nothing else, and sure you didn't. No,
and uh, Kendlanian came out today. This would be the

(01:10:50):
MSNDC intelligence correspondent and he's like's nothing wrong here. He
didn't need judge's approval to do this. So I don't
know what people are mad about. How use s penat
phone records without a judge.

Speaker 1 (01:11:07):
It depends. It depends jury. Yeah, if it's a grand jury, speanut,
they don't need to judge. If it's another subpoena, they do.
And this was another subpoena.

Speaker 2 (01:11:18):
So yeah, yeah this Uh, Basically it comes down to, yeah,
I'm going to tap the phones of Congressman? Do I
need permission to do that? Do I can? I is
there's Kendlelan. He's like, go, whatever are they Republicans?

Speaker 1 (01:11:36):
It's not a candle. I'm sorry, I gotta break in
m It's not a candle. It's a tiki glass. It's
a vintage glass from Libby and it has a wood
wrap around. It's not a candle. Trust me. Brad actually
has a set that I gave him for for birthday
one year. Right was a birthday? Was it Christmas? One

(01:11:58):
of the two? But yeah, yeah, I'm too.

Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
Well, I just like, how there's a possibility you were
slamming back wax. That's nice.

Speaker 3 (01:12:10):
It wasn't the actress's vagina candle?

Speaker 4 (01:12:14):
Oh no, yikes, Okay, all.

Speaker 2 (01:12:27):
Of a sudden we went right into the ditch here,
just like, well, I gotta do uh, I gotta get
into this one because it just cracks me up in
all the ways that it's not supposed to. Have you
seen the that currently going on. They have what they're

(01:12:47):
calling the re Odd Comedy Festival out in the Middle East,
Saudi Arabia.

Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
I've heard of it before, but no, I'm I'm not like.

Speaker 2 (01:12:59):
Blue of huge comedians are going out there, huge names,
I mean, you name it, They're out there, Dave Chappelle,
Louis c K, I mean, on and on it goes.

Speaker 1 (01:13:11):
Well, one out of two isn't bad, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:13:13):
Another's plenty more. I mean, uh, Bill Barr.

Speaker 1 (01:13:17):
No of the two you mentioned.

Speaker 2 (01:13:20):
Okay, so they're they're out there doing this and it's
it's kind of like what you know, like the Montreal
comedy festivals. That's just just tons and tons of people
out there.

Speaker 1 (01:13:30):
Actually, it's really funny. You should mention that my husband
actually attended the Just for Reer Comedy Festival in Montreal
years ago. He had a he had to go out
there to believe it or not. Uh, it was a
conference for for work and he happened to go there.

(01:13:53):
And I still have the backpack of the of their
of their mascot is this little girl, green, furry monster
looking thing and it is the most adorable thing. I
still have that backpack. I'm not even choking. This was
years ago. This was I think when I want to say,
about twenty eight years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:14:11):
Wow, looking at.

Speaker 1 (01:14:14):
Yes, but I never made it to the just career.
Hopefully I will before I die, but who knows.

Speaker 2 (01:14:25):
But I bring this up.

Speaker 1 (01:14:27):
I kind of interesting that there's one in yod Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:14:31):
It's you know, getting bigger and bigger. But part of
what I loved about this is how a slew of
these comedians are out there bad mounting our country in
their country. So of course, you know, it's not that
you know, how dare they kind of thing, but it's

(01:14:51):
all about you know, Trump and the Republicans and fascism
and bad but they actually have the stones to talk
about censorship, the stones going on in this country while
in Saudi Arabia.

Speaker 3 (01:15:11):
I know.

Speaker 1 (01:15:11):
That's why I was like the stones. I don't know
if you did that on purpose, but it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:15):
Was I didn't, but I give you I see the connection.
Totally meant to do that. That's how brilliant I am.

Speaker 1 (01:15:22):
Totally.

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
So this is like part of so many of the
stand up acts. Man. Let me tell you, in America,
I can't say this kind of stuff. It's like, are
you kidding me? Dave Chaquelle literally says this. He says
right now. In America they say, if you talk about
Charlie Kirk that you'll get canceled. It's easier to talk
here than it is in America. Well, that is Saudi Arabia.

Speaker 1 (01:15:53):
But here's the thing. It's easier for him to talk
about Charlie Kirk dying in Saudi Arabia because Saudi Arabia
does not care. Saudi Arabia does not have any value,
does not recognize any value to Charlie Kirk or his work.
So it's very much easier to talk about Charlie Kirk

(01:16:15):
dying there than it is to talk about him here,
just like it is so much easier to talk about
the stoning of women in Middle Eastern countries here than
it is to talk about them there. It's so much
easier to talk about the throwing of gays off of
a building here than it is to talk about it

(01:16:36):
over there. It's all a question of what is valued
at where you're at. So yes, in Riyad, sure you
can talk about Charlie Kirk, you can talk about you know,
assassination of Trump. You can talk about all of this
stuff over there because it has no absolute value. Here

(01:16:57):
it does. That's why we can talk about women being stoned,
gay's being thrown off of buildings. We can talk about
it here because it has value. It has no value
over there.

Speaker 2 (01:17:09):
You cannot. It gets worse, It gets worse, I'm sure
it does, because they're trying to say how you know,
censorship in America has gotten so harsh, and comedians canceled there,
and of course they're framing all of this against the
Jimmy Kimmel nonsense, which has been proven out to be
not just ridiculous. But the jackass is on the air

(01:17:29):
right now, so he's not canceled.

Speaker 1 (01:17:32):
Not only is he on the air, he has lost
all the viewership, about seventy of his viewership.

Speaker 2 (01:17:39):
So I'm like more than that by now, he's back
down to his usual levels. So yeah, but.

Speaker 1 (01:17:46):
If he was gonna like be contrived, and he wasn't,
so we gave up.

Speaker 2 (01:17:51):
Yeah, it was like a one deal, you know. Oh
we all got to see what he's gonna say. Oh
he's still saying the same dumb crap. Huh, I'm out.
But they're framing all of this is like, oh, so
glad we're over here in Saudi Arabia where we could
speak our minds and such. Shane gillis most people know
him now, one of the more famous comedians going. He
refused to play this festival because, get this, in order

(01:18:14):
to go there, you have to agree to content restrictions.
Huh yes, in order for you to perform, you sign
a contract. They're getting paid a shit ton of money.
By the way, I found a link where they're getting
The smaller acts are getting like three hundred and fifty thousand.
Some of them, like Chappelle and Company, are over a

(01:18:35):
million to perform over there. So these guys are cloud
all these sucking at the oil tea right now. But
they're gonna sit there and talk about censorship in America.
This is what their contract they had to sign said
regarding content restrictions. A these are the things you're not

(01:18:56):
allowed to defame, d grade, or bring into public dispute
a Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including the leadership be the
Saudi Royal family, legal system or government. And see any religion,
religious tradition, religious figure, or religious practice. And believe me,

(01:19:20):
what about Saudi Arabia. Can you mention oil a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:19:25):
Of The only thing you mentioned about Saudi Arabia that
would be okay with Saudi Arabia is their resorts. Their resorts.
You can mention the fact that they are an ally
to the United States visa be Hamas, not Palestine Hamas.

(01:19:48):
You can also mention that they have they were very
instrumental in the global War on Terror. Never mind that
most of the pay from Saudi Arabia. But those are
the only things that you can mention about Saudi Arabia
when it comes to being a comic performing in ri Yacht,

(01:20:08):
which is why I found it very interesting when you
told me that there was a comedy festival in ri Yacht.
I we all know that there. We have a lot
of history with that particular area, and so I found
it kind of interesting that they had a comedy festival there.
I'm surprised there wasn't in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates,

(01:20:35):
who happened to be far more lenient and far more
of an ally to the United States than Saudi Arabia is,
and I was very surprised to find that. But you know,
people go with the money that.

Speaker 2 (01:20:53):
Yeah, I just find it. It's not even disingenuous. You're
actually houring yourself at this point. Say this stuff in
the United States, and yet you have to sign a
contract pledging to censor your act of pretty much almost
anything regarding the country where you're performing.

Speaker 1 (01:21:13):
I mean, I'm not gonna lie. I like Jove Chappelle.
I think he's funny. I think he calls out both sides,
and I think he can be very effective when it
comes to the culture war. But for him to actually
say that that it's better to say things in Saudi Arabia,
I think it's being very disingenuous because he can't say

(01:21:35):
the things that we say about Saudi Arabia here over there.
M he cannot say actually not even that. He cannot
say anything about the Middle East that we say here
over there. It doesn't matter if it's Saudi Arabia or not.
Saudi Araba will not tolerate you actually impugning Syria, impuning Lebanon,

(01:21:58):
in puning Iran, impugning Iraq, impugning any Jordan. They will
not tolerate that. Either Jordan is more tolerant than Saudi Arabia,
believe it or not, so I would I actually think
that had this comedy festival taking place in Jordan, it

(01:22:18):
would have made more sense to me.

Speaker 2 (01:22:21):
It really pretty much disingenuous as it gains. It cracks
me up though. These Basically you're looking at comedians who
don't listen to themselves. Jim Kimball has been silenced while
he's on the air tonight. Uh huh.

Speaker 1 (01:22:37):
He's still on the air, and they keep trying to
make this a Trump issue, and I'm like, Trump had
nothing to do with it. And I cannot tell you
many times I've actually fought this with my g from
Puerto Rico is honestly say that Trump shut him up,
and I'm like, he had nothing to do with it.
It was all Disney. She's like, how do you know?

(01:22:57):
I worked for Disney. I know, like what, Like, oh no,
you don't.

Speaker 2 (01:23:05):
Just to wrap things up here, I'm looking at the time,
and you mentioned Puerto Rico, So I gotta say, what
the hell did bad Bunny say? It is right live?
He went on some spooks languages.

Speaker 1 (01:23:26):
Really, so he went on in a Spanish creed and
I'm listening to it, and I'm listening, but when I
was listening not to him. But I was listening to
the audience, and every time he made a statement that
was derogatory towards our country, derogatory towards the administration, derogatory
towards Trump, or whatever it was that he was. Whatever

(01:23:49):
statement he made, the audience food's clap. Now, I am
willing to bet that most of the audience did not
the Spanish. There is a possibility, albeit small, that they've
recruited Spanish speaking people to be in the audience that evening,

(01:24:10):
but that's not how really it works. Tickets are, yeah,
the tickets are first come for served. So I'm pretty
sure that the little sign was saying applause or laugh,
you know whatever at the appropriate times. But what I
found interesting was after listening to his creed, was that

(01:24:32):
he was he was actually using he was taking the
opportunity to say these things in Spanish because he felt
safe doing so. This is a man who has citizenship.

(01:24:55):
He doesn't have to worry about Ice, he doesn't have
to worry about all that. He decided to cancel all
his concerts here in the United States because he was
afraid that Ice would actually raid his concerts looking for
illegal immigrants. And I'm like, no, you're just you're just

(01:25:17):
saying that for now. I bet you next year he
has tour dates. But right now he is this is
the cause ajour illegal immigration is the cost are and
that's why he is being the face of it right now.

Speaker 2 (01:25:34):
And you know, you just used a French expression. He
can't do that when talking about a Spaniard or a Hispanic.

Speaker 1 (01:25:41):
It's a fucking lance language.

Speaker 2 (01:25:44):
I'm just saying they're latings. You can't talk.

Speaker 1 (01:25:49):
I will cut you.

Speaker 2 (01:25:51):
The part I love though, is where he finished it
up and said, well, if you don't understand what I said,
you've got four months to learn Spanish before his super
Bowl performance. So I guess what. We're in Spanish. I'm
not allowed to watch his show.

Speaker 1 (01:26:09):
But here's the thing. The whole situation with the super
Bowl is stupid because most of the people that tune
in to watch the super Bowl, they may not speak Spanish,
but for sure they don't enjoy that kind of music.

(01:26:30):
And this is something that I have noticed. It was
a discussion that I had. It's a little it's a
little whindy, and I'm sorry that we might run long.
But one of the things I noticed when I was
a military wife, and we were in a military We
would have military balls, and I noticed that the music

(01:26:50):
was always hip hop, It was always R and B.
It was always stuff that most of the older people
did not listen to. And so I decided to look
into it because, Uh, I'm the kind of person that
really enjoys being in the family readiness group. I hung
out with the enlisted. It was great, and I figured

(01:27:11):
it out. The reason that we got that kind of
music was that the officers abdicated all of the responsibilities
to the enlisted. They said, oh, we don't want to
be involved, so y'all pick whatever you want. So they did.
In this case. It's the same thing with the super Bowl.

(01:27:33):
We're not telling the super Bowl. This is not what
we want to hear. We want to hear stuff that's good.
We want to hear stuff that connects with Gen X,
connects with the boomers, connects with the millennials. Nobody knew
Bad Bunny until like a few weeks ago when everybody
started saying, oh, he is, you know, he's ending his residency.

(01:27:55):
I'm like, he had a residency in Puerto Rico. Nobody
told me, and I'm Puerto.

Speaker 2 (01:28:01):
Rican well is when they come out and say, you
dumb mag of people don't even understand that he's Puerto Rican,
which makes him American. And I's like, no, the one
who doesn't understand is him because he's worried about ice,
showing exactly he's American.

Speaker 1 (01:28:18):
He's American. Now, admittedly we do have virtue of our
citizenship by act of Congress or everything, but Congress is
not gonna take it away, not anytime soon. So for
him to actually talk about that, he's actually using the
cause to joure and I'm going to say it in French,

(01:28:38):
to further his career. This is all about him, and
people don't understand that. They don't.

Speaker 2 (01:28:48):
There's a lot that people don't understand. But there you go. Well,
we got a wrap. I gotta cut out, I gotta
get out of the studio here. Yes is yeah, we're.

Speaker 1 (01:28:58):
All right. So Brad, why don't you tell us where
we can.
