(10:36):
So you know the least you could do is, you know,
hit the buttons and then you know, help us out.
We've climbed from ninety nine to number four in just
a matter of a couple of short months. We can

But we need you. So every second Wednesday, second Wednesday
(11:01):

I'm not sure because Amish is in on a Nevada run.
So it depends on whether Sean is up next, because
if Amish can't make it, and Sean isn't making it,
then we're gonna roll straight into busy after behind theemy lines.
If Sean's live, then I'll spin up. I have a
(11:40):
reels ready to go if I need to.
Speaker 15 (11:43):
All right, well, there you have it. So it's a
Hodgepodge Wednesday night. You're still gonna be glad you're here,
hang out, do the thing with us, and uh, let
us entertain you, because hell, that's what we do. That
(12:04):
is what we do. Big story over the last week,
ceasefire deal in Gaza. Of course everybody, everybody is happy
about the deal. I think, well most people are the
those on the left. They refuse to give Trump credit
(12:28):
for what he's done. As a matter of fact, some
have even tried to steal the credit by saying that
it was it was basically Biden's plan and Trump just
tweaked it a little bit. Yeah, blinking moron. But yeah,
(12:49):
they they can't. They can't even mention his name in
talking about how grateful they are for the ceasefire and
and this and that and the other.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Thing is just it.
Speaker 15 (12:59):
It literally is like a if you've ever seen the
movie The Langaliers, It's like they have Langaliers inside their ass,
eating them from the inside because Trump did this.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Giggity giggity giggity goo.
Speaker 15 (13:19):
Yeah, I don't know. That's uh, that's not one you wanna.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Hey, it's a it's a fetish for somebody. So i'm i'm, i'm,
I'm taking care of those people.
Speaker 15 (13:29):
Ooh, bless them, bless them, bless them. I couldn't. I
couldn't deal with that, No, sir, not even a little bit.
But I mean, yeah, you got at the same time,
all this is going on, you know, they having the
(13:50):
peace talks, Trump and and several other world leaders flew
over to Egypt. So Trump gets on a plane, he
flies over the have all these talks and negotiations and
hostages are exchanged. Israel withdraws, Hamas comes in and starts
(14:13):
killing people. What the hell right? I mean, literally, they
complain about what Israel did. You can't hear one peep
from a leftist about Hamas coming in and killing these gosins.
(14:35):
Not a peep. Their selective moral indignation is at best
pathetic at best. And it's just I saw a video today.
They had several of them on their knees and putting
(14:57):
bullets through the back of their heads. Yeah, where is
all the security forces that were promised? You know, why
aren't they stopping this? Looking at you United Nations? It's unbelievable.
(15:22):
The hypocrisy, the absolute arrogance and hypocrisy of the left
two to just sit there and and watch this happen,
and you watch, they'll they'll twist it. They'll find a
(15:43):
way to try to blame Trump for it.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
You just watch.
Speaker 15 (15:47):
They will do it because they can. And if anybody
knows how to twist things and lie about them, it's
the political left. So we got that going forward too.
I am sorry about my sniffles. I am still dying
from allergy season. Uh the uh there are two things
(16:11):
out right now here locally that just absolutely wreck me
every fall, and that is ragweed and golden rod. And
uh neither of those are euphemisms for anything other than misery.
So no giggdy's on that one.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I wasn't playing on it.
Speaker 15 (16:38):
Okay, good, good good? So uh oh yeah, and uh,
since you since you had the the week off to
not mess with my intro, we can we can start
talking about that again now?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Uh oh nice?
Speaker 15 (16:57):
Yeah, yeah, you know you said you needed the week off.
I gave you the week off, we're ready to tweak
it again now, so anyway we'll get we'll do that
off air, and we don't need to hash everybody through that.
So and it's it's not even that hard. I know
for somebody like you, it'll be a snap. He's the
(17:19):
hardest working man in show business, folks, and he knows it.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
And like I said, to shoot me an email with
what you want and I may make sure I get
it done because I have like a million different projects
going on.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
So there you go.
Speaker 15 (17:30):
I will uh, I will shoot you a d M.
How about that?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
And tomato potato?
Speaker 15 (17:35):
There you go. One's mashed, one's baked. Who cares? It's
all starchy.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
And hutch but uh.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Ah, yeah, there it is.
Speaker 15 (17:54):
Caught him off guard.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Oh no, I just wasn't on the right pad, so
it took a second.
Speaker 15 (18:00):
Okay, okay, all right, So yeah, you know again, hamas
in Gaza now because Israel has left, of course, the
cowards come flooding back in once Israel leaves because they
know that they will be summarily executed. Uh And they're
(18:21):
and they're killing the people that elected them to represent
and care for them. So that's that's hamas for you
don't ever let anybody tell you that they're not a
terrorist organization. You can, uh, you can just tell them
to go burn in hell. And uh, let's see what
(18:44):
else is going on here. Oh yeah, some of you
might remember the brilliant mind that Joe by Iden appointed
to the Supreme Court in the person of Kaitanji Brown Jackson.
(19:10):
And she was showing off her Well, how do we
want to say this her brain power? I guess for
lack of a better term. Today, so the Supreme Court
(19:36):
is is hearing a case on Voting Rights Act of
nineteen sixty five, and Justice, God, it hurts me to
say that. Justice Kaitanji Brown Jackson said that, uh, black folks,
(20:04):
black Americans don't have equal access to the voting system.
They are disabled. They basically she is. She She went
on and said, uh, her, her, her paradigm. Example of
(20:28):
this is like the ADA Congress passed the ADA against
the backdrop of a world generally not accessible to people
with disabilities. And why is that not what is happening here?
So she just now and and now here's here's the
other thing too, go back to the top of her statement.
(20:53):
And I know I kind of pushed through it and
I didn't stop there. But we're going backwards to it
right now. They don't have have equal access. She is
removing herself. She could have said, we don't have as
Black Americans, we don't have equal access. No, no, no,
(21:17):
they don't have equal access. So the next time somebody
asks you who they are, tell them it's Katanji Brown Jackson,
that's who.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
They are.
Speaker 15 (21:33):
Absolutely disgraceful and disgusting to basically call every Black American
out there stupid, that's what she did. She said that
black Americans are too stupid to have equal access to
(21:58):
the voting system. That means they don't know how to
get ID, which has been disproven time and time and
time and time again. They don't know how to go vote.
I definitely know that's not the case. I definitely know
(22:18):
that's not the case. They don't know how to fill
out a ballot. Maybe they don't know how to write no,
because all you have to do is color in the
bubbo or connect the dot or the arrow, whatever it is.
(22:40):
A three year old with a crayon could do it.
But apparently that's too much for black Americans. According to
Katanji Brown Jackson. She basically said that you are too
mentally handicapped if you are black to have equal acts
to the voting system for no other reason other than
(23:05):
you are black. And that's not even the soft glow
of leftist racism. That is just point blank racism. It's disgusting.
(23:27):
And I don't know how you you know, I don't.
I don't know how you fix this problem because she's
probably the second youngest member on the Court. I think
she's older than Barrett, but younger than Kavanaugh, and and
uh yeah, it's just it's it doesn't bode well. She's
(23:50):
going to be around for probably thirty more years, if
not more. We need, as much as it pains me
to say, we need Clarence Thomas and Alito to go
(24:11):
ahead and retire so that Trump can appoint some young
conservative justices that are going to be around at least
as long as Jackson. We have to make sure that
she is never in the majority. I just can't even
imagine the level of stupidity coming from the Supreme Court
(24:32):
with somebody like her in the majority leading the way.
I weep for this country's future. I truly do.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
I don't.
Speaker 15 (24:47):
I really don't know. How to shade that story. That's
what she said, and it's not the first time that
she's made a complete and utter moron of herself in
expressing an opinion.
Speaker 11 (25:09):
So I really don't know.
Speaker 15 (25:10):
I don't I don't know where else to go with
it other than it's it's there, she's there, and if
her logic reigns supreme, then we're screwed. That's That's about
the size of it. I don't know what else to
tell you. On to the next. Elon Musk. Elon Musk
(25:45):
launched a rocket apparently successfully. I haven't seen any stories
of the left mocking him or or explosion videos that
they would be dancing around. Successfully launched a rocket, and
(26:06):
he unveiled his new company, Mecca Hard. Yeah, Mecca Hard.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Don't want to add for pills for then?
Speaker 15 (26:21):
I mean, you know, they say that you can get
they say, I don't know this, but they say you
can get them for like what eighty seven cents each?
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
I know it's been a while.
Speaker 15 (26:40):
There's one in there nowhere, but Mecca Hard, which is
the antithesis, the complete reciprocal, if you will, of Microsoft.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (26:55):
I was wondering where the name came from to and
it took me about a minute of reading to figure
it out. But Mecca Hard is going to be an
AI driven software development company that is meant to compete
with Microsoft and the likes. Not that there's much like
(27:16):
Microsoft out there. Apple has their version of an office
package that most people delete and install Microsoft Office on
their apples. You know, I think there's a there's Open
Office out there. I don't know anybody that's still using
Open Office. I really don't. I guess necessity would drive it,
(27:40):
but it's got to be such a small number anymore.
Microsoft has finally come around with with decent pricing for
their software. I mean, you know, comparatively, I guess I
don't know that i'd call it decent still, but it's uh,
(28:02):
if you know somebody that works in education or is
a student or something like that, you can get in
on a deal for Microsoft Office. I think there's like
a ninety nine dollars lifetime license. That's a steal it
is that's a Mecca Heart And how are they going
(28:29):
to distribute it and what will be the cost of it,
I don't know. I don't know. Waiting for details, apparently
I don't know if the warehouse are the I should
say warehouse. I don't know if the building picture that
I saw with the giant Mecca hard in like I
(28:54):
don't know sixty bajillion font size across the roof is
actually the real building or because this is this has
been like a quick all of a sudden, Hey, Tuda macaheart.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
And it's uh.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I keep having flashbacks to pee Wee's playoffs. Now make
ahi ay who And.
Speaker 15 (29:22):
I'm so glad you said that. I really am because
I I heard something today about Pee Wee's Playhouse and
I have to share it because I know I'm a fan.
So during season one of Peewe's Playhouse, when they were
still in New York City, they had a staff writer
(29:48):
by the name of Robert Cummins, and uh, he wrote
a lot of the one liner type adult snider kind
of things that kids missed but adults caught, you know,
back then. And you know, at the end of the
(30:09):
first season they moved production to la and he did
not follow. But the reason I bring it up is
because one because of what Rick said, and then two
because Robert Cummins is the real name for none other
than one of my blistering hard rock favorites Rob Zombie.
(30:36):
I did not know that about him, but it does
stand to reason that he would have been there. You know,
just how it is, just how it is. But yeah,
Rob Zombie back are behind the scenes first season of
(30:57):
Peewee's Playhouse. Amazing the things you think you know and
then learn later that you didn't. So anyway, Wow, I
know we got a couple minutes late head start, Rick,
but uh, we could probably go ahead and burn the
bottom of the hour break and that'll that'll leave me
(31:22):
starting fresh when we come back.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
I mean, technically we actually started earlier than we normally do.
Speaker 15 (31:28):
But that's, oh well, in that case, let's go ahead
and burn the bottom of the hour break. All right,
you guys, stretch your legs, refill your drinks, blow your nose,
whatever it is you gotta do, and we'll see you
back in.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Fourish, Yeah about four counting the bumper because I'm just
gonna run the video. I'm just gonna run the video
that Sean and I made the day of the song
I just wrote, So.
Speaker 15 (31:53):
You're bumping my bumper, No, I'm.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Playing your bumpers. Then I'm playing a song. Oh okay, okay, yeah,

Speaker 1 (36:05):
Apparently g' is not back yet. I don't know where
you went. Hi, I'm Rick, I'm the producer monkey, I'm
not supposed to be the host of this hour.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
And here we are.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Where did he go? I told him four minutes, dude,
can't tell the time.
Speaker 7 (36:27):
There he is?
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Where did you go?
Speaker 7 (36:30):
Why? Nose?
Speaker 15 (36:33):
And I forgot to hit it back? Don't leave me
a little like that every again. Rick said, I'm not
used to your crowd.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
I need my crowd.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Oh man, wow, your crowd's honering mine. Mine likes me.
Speaker 15 (36:53):
Yeah, well, I mean mine doesn't like anybody. Yeah, it's
just we're not people people to be fair.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Then this used to be you know, this was right
before Sam's time. Thought. So they're used to getting abused.
Speaker 15 (37:07):
So I mean, there you go, there you go? So yeah,
Oh what else is going on? Oh yeah, mister special,
mister Wednesday Night Special. Uh Mark Ruffalo. Good God, it
(37:34):
hurts me to even say his name, but uh, apparently
he is making his desperate pitches to the media for
anybody that will listen to him about how our country
needs to abandon capitalism and embrace socialism, despite despite knowing
(37:56):
factually that socialism has never worked, b is a gateway
to communism and c has only beset people with misery
and poverty. And just to show you how much of
(38:19):
a hypocrite that he is, I haven't seen the first
article of him giving his money away. Lead by example, Mark,
lead by example, make a hundred other people as wealthy
(38:45):
as you with your money so you're all on the
same level, then we'll talk. I don't know what he's worth.
It's it's probably a pretty good bit, considering how many
of the uh Marvel movies he's done. I mean, I
(39:11):
know he doesn't get like Robert Downey Junior money, but
I'm sure he gets good money. And uh, it just,
uh it just kills me. These these same people, they're
always bitching and moaning about how the rich don't pay
their fair share when they know good and well all
(39:35):
they have to do is pick up their pen, open
their checkbook, and write a check to the United States Treasury.
The Treasury will gladly accept their money, and then the
wealthy will be paying more. Right lead by example, all
(40:04):
these wealthy people scream about, oh, you should tax us more,
you should tax us more. I remember the interview when
Will Smith was asked about what he thought about the
higher taxes in France, and he said, yeah, the rich
should pay more. And they told him they're they're enacting
seventy five percent on millionaires and he was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah,
(40:33):
he was all about it until he found out what
the number actually was.
Speaker 14 (40:40):
Ah.
Speaker 15 (40:40):
Man, it's just they all do the same thing. They
all sit and piss and moan and piss and moan
and piss and moan about the rich not paying their
fair share. They won't say what their fair share is.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Actually, that's not true. Mandami said it today. Mondamiyah said
his name. So I didn't know this, but apparently in
New York City there's already a fifty percent income tax
on anybody making more than a million dollars a year.
He wants to bump into fifty two. So he is,
in fact telling them what their fair share should be.
Speaker 15 (41:21):
No, that's incredible, And I mean there are people dumb
enough to just sit there and pay it. I mean,
who wants to pay fifty percent in taxes? First of all?
Who wants to sit down and tell me what our
government has done to deserve to get fifty percent of
anything we make in taxes. You know, in nineteen sixty four,
(41:49):
this country declared a quote unquote war on poverty, a
war on poverty that we have now as a nation,
spent approximately forty trillion dollars on and we still have
(42:11):
the same percentage of people living in poverty. What the
hell's been done? It's obvious that money cannot fix the problem.
I you know, they talk about taxing Elon Musk at
(42:33):
one hundred percent. Okay, what happens when he runs out
of money? Who's next? Who's next? And when they run
out of money, who's after that? You know, if you
tax the five hundred wealthiest people in this country at
(42:58):
one hundred percent and deplete their wealth, you can't fix hunger, homelessness,
and poverty in this country. You can't do it. I
will show you the receipts of forty trillion dollars that
(43:21):
proves it. People come out of poverty by doing simple things.
You don't have to be an Elon Musk. You don't
(43:42):
have to be a Bill Gates, you don't have to
be a Jeff Bezos. But what you should do, and
I'm not saying it's the best that's available out there,
but avail yourself of your education. Graduate high school. That's
(44:07):
a big start. That is a big start. You don't
have to go to college. You don't have to. I
was working my way up the ladder before I ever
went to college. I went to college out of basically
(44:30):
being told that I was stupid and I didn't know
what I was talking about. So I just went and
got the degree that says that I did know what
I was talking about to start with.
Speaker 7 (44:42):
It's not.
Speaker 15 (44:44):
Doesn't make me better. I already knew what I was
talking about, so it didn't make me any smarter either,
but it got respect from people in the room. Why,
I don't know, being right wasn't enough. I had to
(45:05):
have the piece of paper that said that I'm smart
enough to be right. I promised myself at that point
when I became a boss, that I would never be
that kind of a boss, And to this day, to
(45:29):
this day, in my current job. It drives my peers
that head up other departments insane that I am that
way with my people and I'm that way with their people,
and that drives them even batterier. They can't stand it
that I'm actually one of them. I'll never not be
(45:53):
a worker, you know. I don't ask my guys to
do anything that I won't get up and go do
with them whatever that means. If that means climbing into
a dirty, dark, hot ass roof to go pull cable,
(46:14):
then we're going. Am I gonna do it every time? No,
I'm not gonna do it every time, but they're gonna
know that I know what I'm doing and that when
I ask them to do it, it's for the greater
good and it needs to be done, and they're gonna
go do it. But I'm gonna show them, and I'm
(46:38):
gonna teach them all the tricks that I learned along
the way because I'm not gonna be around for twenty
more years. I'm not gonna be around for ten more
years to hold their hands.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
I've heard all this before.
Speaker 15 (46:51):
Oh hey you can, you can bank on it too,
because I am.
Speaker 1 (46:55):
That's what you told me the last time, and then
the world I had.
Speaker 15 (46:58):
To Well, what can I tell you, I'm a whore
for the money, better than be a horror for free,
I guess, you know. And some people are just horrors
out of necessity because they have to. You know, they
got what, they got to work, and they got to
have their job. I was ready to retire and they
threw money at me to keep me, so I'll take that.
(47:23):
I'll take that since I can't fully retire anyway. I'm
not old enough to fully retire yet. I do not
intend to wait until I reach my full retirement age,
which would be sixty seven. I will be retired before that.
(47:47):
It's just a matter of how much time and how
much money. We'll see. We'll see because the deal I
made is pro rated, so it the money gets deposited
at the first of each additional year, and if I
(48:10):
leave during that year, I just pay back what I
haven't worked up to at that point for that year.
So you know, who knows. We'll see, we shall see.
But anyway, again, you know, I don't I don't ask
my guys to do things that I won't do and
(48:31):
that I can't do, you know, or haven't done. I've
I've been up in the roof. I've slipped, and I've
fallen through and taken out the drop ceiling and landed
on the floor. I've been there, I've done it. It hurts.
I have in new construction, I have hung upside down
(48:54):
by my feet from the metal framing that the drop
ceiling hangs from, and run cable that way.
Speaker 14 (49:06):
It.
Speaker 15 (49:06):
You know, it was the easiest way to do it
at the time I was younger, Yes, absolutely, Would I
do it now, No, of course not. But the kid
I just hired as twenty three years old, he could
do it. He could do it in a minute. It's
all good so anyway, But you cannot. You cannot buy
(49:32):
your way out of misery and poverty. Oh you can
rent your way out of it, don't get me wrong.
You know the Beatles song money can't buy you love.
It's true. Money can't buy love, but you can rent
the hell out of it. It's the same with communism
(49:57):
and socialism. Would you be happy if if everybody in
the country made thirty nine thousand dollars a year?
Speaker 4 (50:12):
That was it.
Speaker 15 (50:13):
Everybody makes the same. You take the highest, you take
the lowest, You balance it out tada thirty nine thousand
dollars a year. Well do you how do you live
on that? Well, the government has to take over all
(50:35):
the housing and control the rent on it so that
everybody pays the same and the same for the groceries,
and the same for your health care. And uh, you know, basically, uh,
you just wake up every day and you take no
(50:57):
responsibility for anything, and uh government makes it all okay,
and you get your I don't know, what does that
work out to be? Little little, little more than three
thousand dollars a month. Three thousand dollars a month. Ah wow,
(51:28):
that'd be a big pay cut. And I've never really
thought about that, but uh, yeah, be a hell of
a pay cut. I'm not down with that.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
Yeah, by the time, by the time you finally retire,
I'll have ways for you to make money over here.
I'm working on it.
Speaker 15 (51:44):
Well, there you go. And I'm all about that. I
am definitely all about some of that, you know. I'm
also I told my boss this morning actually, he was
asking me if I had seen where they're building the
new Amazon distribution facility down the road from our office.
(52:07):
It's just a few miles away, and I was like, no,
I didn't know that was them, and he was like yeah.
I was like, well, maybe I should look into a
job there. He kind of laughed and I looked at
him and I was like, what why are you laughing.
I don't think he liked it very much. But I mean,
(52:34):
you know, if I when I leave this job, I don't.
I don't have to get rich doing what I do next.
I will I will always have a pension from this job.
And I have a separate ira that has been I mean,
(52:57):
we didn't call him iras back then, but I opened
a mutual fund at the age of eighteen, and I've
been working on that, contributing to that and you know
the what not ever since every month at varying levels
as my paycheck aloud. So you know, there's been there
(53:28):
have been a couple of windfalls in the in the
middle along the way that have just been deposited straight
into that. So it's it's a healthy little nest egg.
And like I said, I don't, I don't have to
get rich at my next job. I will be comfortable.
I will be okay between that account, the pension and
(53:52):
you know, God willing a little social security that I've
paid into all my life, biggest Ponzi scheme in his country.
Speaker 2 (54:00):
She didn't know.
Speaker 15 (54:04):
And anybody that would like to discuss why it's a
Ponzi scheme, if you don't think it is, hit me
up on x TCC underscore Rouchi. Glad to have the
conversation with you. It's it's just amazing the things that
our government does to us in the name of taking
care of us, while they're basically bending us over a
(54:26):
chair and going in dry. It's a it's a shame.
It's a damn shame. And uh, I don't I don't
even want to get into social Security. I don't want
to go that deep. That's we don't have time. I
(54:48):
will do that in an upcoming show, though, I will
break it all down. We may spend a half hour
or so just breaking down social security and what a
Ponzi scheme it is, and and you know what's happened
to our money over the years, and why government is.
You know, they're raising they're raising your full retirement age.
(55:09):
They're raising your full retirement age, and they want to
raise it again already even.
Speaker 1 (55:17):
Well, I mean to be fair, when they originally set
this stuff up, nobody was passing sixty five. Anyway, that
was the whole point.
Speaker 15 (55:24):
I mean, I get that, I do, and I understand
that fully. However, they keep saying that the average lifespan
is increasing, but the average lifespan has been held at
seventy seven for quite some time now and it still
(55:44):
remains seventy seven, which means if you wait until you
are fully eligible to draw your Social Security which for
Gen xers that would be the age of sixty seven,
that means you would get ten years of payments, ten
(56:05):
years of payments on average. And like I said, we're
not going to go into it that deep, but I will.
I will do the homework. I will do the math.
I know math is not a fun thing to do
on the radio, but it's something that everybody needs to
(56:26):
be aware of. So I'm going to do the work.
I'm going to bear it out to you. I'm going
to show you exactly what they've done and how they've
ruined it, and how we're going to get screwed for it.
And if you think it's bad for us, our kids
are going to be in worse shape, the grandkids. I mean, really,
(56:50):
what they need to do is draw a line in
the sand. That says, anybody born after this day will
no longer have Social Security withdrawn from their paychecks when
they start working, and Social Security payments will end for
anybody born after this day. Now they will probably have to,
(57:17):
you know, get money from somewhere else to to solvent
that out. But after that it needs to be you know,
a straight up IRA contribution mutual fund. However you want
to work it, privatize it, publicize it, you can. You
can do it yourself, your work can do it whatever.
(57:38):
But it doesn't need to be the government, because the
government is what happened and screwed us.
Speaker 2 (57:44):
All.
Speaker 15 (57:48):
Now, all that said, how do we always end the show?
Speaker 1 (57:54):
Rick Geez happy ending?
Speaker 15 (57:58):
Penny Jes guaranteed happy ending? Bom bom bum so. A
missing person's case in the Florida Panhandle down the Road
for me, a short piece, came to a surprisingly heartwarming
end when a dog got the attention of a passing
(58:22):
patrol car and led a deputy to a missing eighty
six year old woman. Video of the incident was posted
back on October sixth by the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office,
which reports the woman was injured and unable to wake
her make her way back home in the dark. Sometimes
(58:46):
heroes come with four legs and waggy tails, The Sheriff's
office road in its post the initial call came from
a distraught husband concerned about his missing wife. When a
local senior citizen took a tumble and injured herself while
walking her son's dog one night recently, it was a
faithful four legged friend who brought the Okalissa County Sheriff's
(59:10):
Office deputy to her location. It happened around ten thirty
pm on September twenty fifth. The Sheriff's office said in
an email that the video shows Deputy Devin Miller was
searching nearby residential streets after the call had come in.
(59:32):
The man, frantic that his wife had not returned from
her walk, she happened to come across the dog. The
deputy stopped and instinct instinctually, not instinctfully, asked the dog,
Hey baby, where's your mama? Show me and this is perfect.
(59:54):
This is how you talk to a dog, because they understand.
They're smart, smarter most of us. The dog reacted by
turning and leading the deputy through a front yard beside
a home and then onto the golf course where the
missing woman was found lying on the golf cart path.
(01:00:15):
Alert and conscious. Paramedics were summoned and the woman was
taken to the medical facility for evaluation. As the deputy
waited for ems, she explained to the woman that the
dog led to her rescue and the dog's name is
e or Yes, like from Winnie the Pooh. She said,
(01:00:38):
I'm not even his owner. I'm his grandmother. The woman
said in the video, he wouldn't leave. He kept coming
back to me. She said, you're a good boy, and
Grandma loves you.
Speaker 13 (01:00:51):
Now.
Speaker 15 (01:00:52):
This video at the time, had fifty four thousand reactions
on social media. It needs to have like a million.
In fifty four thousand reactions, dogs truly truly God sent.
They are so good to us, and we need to
(01:01:13):
be better to them. We need to be the people
they think we are. So Eor saves the day. Grandma's
safe and sound and everybody's back home, And that, my friends,
is a guaranteed happy ending. I swear to you, and
that's also the show. If you like it, tell your friends.
If your friends like it, you need new ones, but

Speaker 15 (11:43):
All right, well, there you have it. So it's a
Hodgepodge Wednesday night. You're still gonna be glad you're here,
hang out, do the thing with us, and uh, let
us entertain you, because hell, that's what we do. That
(12:04):
is what we do. Big story over the last week,
ceasefire deal in Gaza. Of course everybody, everybody is happy
about the deal. I think, well most people are the
those on the left. They refuse to give Trump credit
(12:28):
for what he's done. As a matter of fact, some
have even tried to steal the credit by saying that
it was it was basically Biden's plan and Trump just
tweaked it a little bit. Yeah, blinking moron. But yeah,
(12:49):
they they can't. They can't even mention his name in
talking about how grateful they are for the ceasefire and
and this and that and the other.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Thing is just it.
Speaker 15 (12:59):
It literally is like a if you've ever seen the
movie The Langaliers, It's like they have Langaliers inside their ass,
eating them from the inside because Trump did this.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Giggity giggity giggity goo.
Speaker 15 (13:19):
Yeah, I don't know. That's uh, that's not one you wanna.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Hey, it's a it's a fetish for somebody. So i'm i'm, i'm,
I'm taking care of those people.
Speaker 15 (13:29):
Ooh, bless them, bless them, bless them. I couldn't. I
couldn't deal with that, No, sir, not even a little bit.
But I mean, yeah, you got at the same time,
all this is going on, you know, they having the
(13:50):
peace talks, Trump and and several other world leaders flew
over to Egypt. So Trump gets on a plane, he
flies over the have all these talks and negotiations and
hostages are exchanged. Israel withdraws, Hamas comes in and starts
(14:13):
killing people. What the hell right? I mean, literally, they
complain about what Israel did. You can't hear one peep
from a leftist about Hamas coming in and killing these gosins.
(14:35):
Not a peep. Their selective moral indignation is at best
pathetic at best. And it's just I saw a video today.
They had several of them on their knees and putting
(14:57):
bullets through the back of their heads. Yeah, where is
all the security forces that were promised? You know, why
aren't they stopping this? Looking at you United Nations? It's unbelievable.
(15:22):
The hypocrisy, the absolute arrogance and hypocrisy of the left
two to just sit there and and watch this happen,
and you watch, they'll they'll twist it. They'll find a
(15:43):
way to try to blame Trump for it.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
You just watch.
Speaker 15 (15:47):
They will do it because they can. And if anybody
knows how to twist things and lie about them, it's
the political left. So we got that going forward too.
I am sorry about my sniffles. I am still dying
from allergy season. Uh the uh there are two things
(16:11):
out right now here locally that just absolutely wreck me
every fall, and that is ragweed and golden rod. And
uh neither of those are euphemisms for anything other than misery.
So no giggdy's on that one.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I wasn't playing on it.
Speaker 15 (16:38):
Okay, good, good good? So uh oh yeah, and uh,
since you since you had the the week off to
not mess with my intro, we can we can start
talking about that again now?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Uh oh nice?
Speaker 15 (16:57):
Yeah, yeah, you know you said you needed the week off.
I gave you the week off, we're ready to tweak
it again now, so anyway we'll get we'll do that
off air, and we don't need to hash everybody through that.
So and it's it's not even that hard. I know
for somebody like you, it'll be a snap. He's the
(17:19):
hardest working man in show business, folks, and he knows it.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
And like I said, to shoot me an email with
what you want and I may make sure I get
it done because I have like a million different projects
going on.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
So there you go.
Speaker 15 (17:30):
I will uh, I will shoot you a d M.
How about that?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
And tomato potato?
Speaker 15 (17:35):
There you go. One's mashed, one's baked. Who cares? It's
all starchy.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
And hutch but uh.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Ah, yeah, there it is.
Speaker 15 (17:54):
Caught him off guard.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Oh no, I just wasn't on the right pad, so
it took a second.
Speaker 15 (18:00):
Okay, okay, all right, So yeah, you know again, hamas
in Gaza now because Israel has left, of course, the
cowards come flooding back in once Israel leaves because they
know that they will be summarily executed. Uh And they're
(18:21):
and they're killing the people that elected them to represent
and care for them. So that's that's hamas for you
don't ever let anybody tell you that they're not a
terrorist organization. You can, uh, you can just tell them
to go burn in hell. And uh, let's see what
(18:44):
else is going on here. Oh yeah, some of you
might remember the brilliant mind that Joe by Iden appointed
to the Supreme Court in the person of Kaitanji Brown Jackson.
(19:10):
And she was showing off her Well, how do we
want to say this her brain power? I guess for
lack of a better term. Today, so the Supreme Court
(19:36):
is is hearing a case on Voting Rights Act of
nineteen sixty five, and Justice, God, it hurts me to
say that. Justice Kaitanji Brown Jackson said that, uh, black folks,
(20:04):
black Americans don't have equal access to the voting system.
They are disabled. They basically she is. She She went
on and said, uh, her, her, her paradigm. Example of
(20:28):
this is like the ADA Congress passed the ADA against
the backdrop of a world generally not accessible to people
with disabilities. And why is that not what is happening here?
So she just now and and now here's here's the
other thing too, go back to the top of her statement.
(20:53):
And I know I kind of pushed through it and
I didn't stop there. But we're going backwards to it
right now. They don't have have equal access. She is
removing herself. She could have said, we don't have as
Black Americans, we don't have equal access. No, no, no,
(21:17):
they don't have equal access. So the next time somebody
asks you who they are, tell them it's Katanji Brown Jackson,
that's who.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
They are.
Speaker 15 (21:33):
Absolutely disgraceful and disgusting to basically call every Black American
out there stupid, that's what she did. She said that
black Americans are too stupid to have equal access to
(21:58):
the voting system. That means they don't know how to
get ID, which has been disproven time and time and
time and time again. They don't know how to go vote.
I definitely know that's not the case. I definitely know
(22:18):
that's not the case. They don't know how to fill
out a ballot. Maybe they don't know how to write no,
because all you have to do is color in the
bubbo or connect the dot or the arrow, whatever it is.
(22:40):
A three year old with a crayon could do it.
But apparently that's too much for black Americans. According to
Katanji Brown Jackson. She basically said that you are too
mentally handicapped if you are black to have equal acts
to the voting system for no other reason other than
(23:05):
you are black. And that's not even the soft glow
of leftist racism. That is just point blank racism. It's disgusting.
(23:27):
And I don't know how you you know, I don't.
I don't know how you fix this problem because she's
probably the second youngest member on the Court. I think
she's older than Barrett, but younger than Kavanaugh, and and
uh yeah, it's just it's it doesn't bode well. She's
(23:50):
going to be around for probably thirty more years, if
not more. We need, as much as it pains me
to say, we need Clarence Thomas and Alito to go
(24:11):
ahead and retire so that Trump can appoint some young
conservative justices that are going to be around at least
as long as Jackson. We have to make sure that
she is never in the majority. I just can't even
imagine the level of stupidity coming from the Supreme Court
(24:32):
with somebody like her in the majority leading the way.
I weep for this country's future. I truly do.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
I don't.
Speaker 15 (24:47):
I really don't know. How to shade that story. That's
what she said, and it's not the first time that
she's made a complete and utter moron of herself in
expressing an opinion.
Speaker 11 (25:09):
So I really don't know.
Speaker 15 (25:10):
I don't I don't know where else to go with
it other than it's it's there, she's there, and if
her logic reigns supreme, then we're screwed. That's That's about
the size of it. I don't know what else to
tell you. On to the next. Elon Musk. Elon Musk
(25:45):
launched a rocket apparently successfully. I haven't seen any stories
of the left mocking him or or explosion videos that
they would be dancing around. Successfully launched a rocket, and
(26:06):
he unveiled his new company, Mecca Hard. Yeah, Mecca Hard.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Don't want to add for pills for then?
Speaker 15 (26:21):
I mean, you know, they say that you can get
they say, I don't know this, but they say you
can get them for like what eighty seven cents each?
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
I know it's been a while.
Speaker 15 (26:40):
There's one in there nowhere, but Mecca Hard, which is
the antithesis, the complete reciprocal, if you will, of Microsoft.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (26:55):
I was wondering where the name came from to and
it took me about a minute of reading to figure
it out. But Mecca Hard is going to be an
AI driven software development company that is meant to compete
with Microsoft and the likes. Not that there's much like
(27:16):
Microsoft out there. Apple has their version of an office
package that most people delete and install Microsoft Office on
their apples. You know, I think there's a there's Open
Office out there. I don't know anybody that's still using
Open Office. I really don't. I guess necessity would drive it,
(27:40):
but it's got to be such a small number anymore.
Microsoft has finally come around with with decent pricing for
their software. I mean, you know, comparatively, I guess I
don't know that i'd call it decent still, but it's uh,
(28:02):
if you know somebody that works in education or is
a student or something like that, you can get in
on a deal for Microsoft Office. I think there's like
a ninety nine dollars lifetime license. That's a steal it
is that's a Mecca Heart And how are they going
(28:29):
to distribute it and what will be the cost of it,
I don't know. I don't know. Waiting for details, apparently
I don't know if the warehouse are the I should
say warehouse. I don't know if the building picture that
I saw with the giant Mecca hard in like I
(28:54):
don't know sixty bajillion font size across the roof is
actually the real building or because this is this has
been like a quick all of a sudden, Hey, Tuda macaheart.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
And it's uh.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I keep having flashbacks to pee Wee's playoffs. Now make
ahi ay who And.
Speaker 15 (29:22):
I'm so glad you said that. I really am because
I I heard something today about Pee Wee's Playhouse and
I have to share it because I know I'm a fan.
So during season one of Peewe's Playhouse, when they were
still in New York City, they had a staff writer
(29:48):
by the name of Robert Cummins, and uh, he wrote
a lot of the one liner type adult snider kind
of things that kids missed but adults caught, you know,
back then. And you know, at the end of the
(30:09):
first season they moved production to la and he did
not follow. But the reason I bring it up is
because one because of what Rick said, and then two
because Robert Cummins is the real name for none other
than one of my blistering hard rock favorites Rob Zombie.
(30:36):
I did not know that about him, but it does
stand to reason that he would have been there. You know,
just how it is, just how it is. But yeah,
Rob Zombie back are behind the scenes first season of
(30:57):
Peewee's Playhouse. Amazing the things you think you know and
then learn later that you didn't. So anyway, Wow, I
know we got a couple minutes late head start, Rick,
but uh, we could probably go ahead and burn the
bottom of the hour break and that'll that'll leave me
(31:22):
starting fresh when we come back.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
I mean, technically we actually started earlier than we normally do.
Speaker 15 (31:28):
But that's, oh well, in that case, let's go ahead
and burn the bottom of the hour break. All right,
you guys, stretch your legs, refill your drinks, blow your nose,
whatever it is you gotta do, and we'll see you
back in.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Fourish, Yeah about four counting the bumper because I'm just
gonna run the video. I'm just gonna run the video
that Sean and I made the day of the song
I just wrote, So.
Speaker 15 (31:53):

Speaker 1 (36:05):
Apparently g' is not back yet. I don't know where
you went. Hi, I'm Rick, I'm the producer monkey, I'm
not supposed to be the host of this hour.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
And here we are.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Where did he go? I told him four minutes, dude,
can't tell the time.
Speaker 7 (36:27):
There he is?
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Where did you go?
Speaker 7 (36:30):
Why? Nose?
Speaker 15 (36:33):
And I forgot to hit it back? Don't leave me
a little like that every again. Rick said, I'm not
used to your crowd.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
I need my crowd.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Oh man, wow, your crowd's honering mine. Mine likes me.
Speaker 15 (36:53):
Yeah, well, I mean mine doesn't like anybody. Yeah, it's
just we're not people people to be fair.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Then this used to be you know, this was right
before Sam's time. Thought. So they're used to getting abused.
Speaker 15 (37:07):
So I mean, there you go, there you go? So yeah,
Oh what else is going on? Oh yeah, mister special,
mister Wednesday Night Special. Uh Mark Ruffalo. Good God, it
(37:34):
hurts me to even say his name, but uh, apparently
he is making his desperate pitches to the media for
anybody that will listen to him about how our country
needs to abandon capitalism and embrace socialism, despite despite knowing
(37:56):
factually that socialism has never worked, b is a gateway
to communism and c has only beset people with misery
and poverty. And just to show you how much of
(38:19):
a hypocrite that he is, I haven't seen the first
article of him giving his money away. Lead by example, Mark,
lead by example, make a hundred other people as wealthy
(38:45):
as you with your money so you're all on the
same level, then we'll talk. I don't know what he's worth.
It's it's probably a pretty good bit, considering how many
of the uh Marvel movies he's done. I mean, I
(39:11):
know he doesn't get like Robert Downey Junior money, but
I'm sure he gets good money. And uh, it just,
uh it just kills me. These these same people, they're
always bitching and moaning about how the rich don't pay
their fair share when they know good and well all
(39:35):
they have to do is pick up their pen, open
their checkbook, and write a check to the United States Treasury.
The Treasury will gladly accept their money, and then the
wealthy will be paying more. Right lead by example, all
(40:04):
these wealthy people scream about, oh, you should tax us more,
you should tax us more. I remember the interview when
Will Smith was asked about what he thought about the
higher taxes in France, and he said, yeah, the rich
should pay more. And they told him they're they're enacting
seventy five percent on millionaires and he was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah,
(40:33):
he was all about it until he found out what
the number actually was.
Speaker 14 (40:40):
Ah.
Speaker 15 (40:40):
Man, it's just they all do the same thing. They
all sit and piss and moan and piss and moan
and piss and moan about the rich not paying their
fair share. They won't say what their fair share is.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Actually, that's not true. Mandami said it today. Mondamiyah said
his name. So I didn't know this, but apparently in
New York City there's already a fifty percent income tax
on anybody making more than a million dollars a year.
He wants to bump into fifty two. So he is,
in fact telling them what their fair share should be.
Speaker 15 (41:21):
No, that's incredible, And I mean there are people dumb
enough to just sit there and pay it. I mean,
who wants to pay fifty percent in taxes? First of all?
Who wants to sit down and tell me what our
government has done to deserve to get fifty percent of
anything we make in taxes. You know, in nineteen sixty four,
(41:49):
this country declared a quote unquote war on poverty, a
war on poverty that we have now as a nation,
spent approximately forty trillion dollars on and we still have
(42:11):
the same percentage of people living in poverty. What the
hell's been done? It's obvious that money cannot fix the problem.
I you know, they talk about taxing Elon Musk at
(42:33):
one hundred percent. Okay, what happens when he runs out
of money? Who's next? Who's next? And when they run
out of money, who's after that? You know, if you
tax the five hundred wealthiest people in this country at
(42:58):
one hundred percent and deplete their wealth, you can't fix hunger, homelessness,
and poverty in this country. You can't do it. I
will show you the receipts of forty trillion dollars that
(43:21):
proves it. People come out of poverty by doing simple things.
You don't have to be an Elon Musk. You don't
(43:42):
have to be a Bill Gates, you don't have to
be a Jeff Bezos. But what you should do, and
I'm not saying it's the best that's available out there,
but avail yourself of your education. Graduate high school. That's
(44:07):
a big start. That is a big start. You don't
have to go to college. You don't have to. I
was working my way up the ladder before I ever
went to college. I went to college out of basically
(44:30):
being told that I was stupid and I didn't know
what I was talking about. So I just went and
got the degree that says that I did know what
I was talking about to start with.
Speaker 7 (44:42):
It's not.
Speaker 15 (44:44):
Doesn't make me better. I already knew what I was
talking about, so it didn't make me any smarter either,
but it got respect from people in the room. Why,
I don't know, being right wasn't enough. I had to
(45:05):
have the piece of paper that said that I'm smart
enough to be right. I promised myself at that point
when I became a boss, that I would never be
that kind of a boss, And to this day, to
(45:29):
this day, in my current job. It drives my peers
that head up other departments insane that I am that
way with my people and I'm that way with their people,
and that drives them even batterier. They can't stand it
that I'm actually one of them. I'll never not be
(45:53):
a worker, you know. I don't ask my guys to
do anything that I won't get up and go do
with them whatever that means. If that means climbing into
a dirty, dark, hot ass roof to go pull cable,
(46:14):
then we're going. Am I gonna do it every time? No,
I'm not gonna do it every time, but they're gonna
know that I know what I'm doing and that when
I ask them to do it, it's for the greater
good and it needs to be done, and they're gonna
go do it. But I'm gonna show them, and I'm
(46:38):
gonna teach them all the tricks that I learned along
the way because I'm not gonna be around for twenty
more years. I'm not gonna be around for ten more
years to hold their hands.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
I've heard all this before.
Speaker 15 (46:51):
Oh hey you can, you can bank on it too,
because I am.
Speaker 1 (46:55):
That's what you told me the last time, and then
the world I had.
Speaker 15 (46:58):
To Well, what can I tell you, I'm a whore
for the money, better than be a horror for free,
I guess, you know. And some people are just horrors
out of necessity because they have to. You know, they
got what, they got to work, and they got to
have their job. I was ready to retire and they
threw money at me to keep me, so I'll take that.
(47:23):
I'll take that since I can't fully retire anyway. I'm
not old enough to fully retire yet. I do not
intend to wait until I reach my full retirement age,
which would be sixty seven. I will be retired before that.
(47:47):
It's just a matter of how much time and how
much money. We'll see. We'll see because the deal I
made is pro rated, so it the money gets deposited
at the first of each additional year, and if I
(48:10):
leave during that year, I just pay back what I
haven't worked up to at that point for that year.
So you know, who knows. We'll see, we shall see.
But anyway, again, you know, I don't I don't ask
my guys to do things that I won't do and
(48:31):
that I can't do, you know, or haven't done. I've
I've been up in the roof. I've slipped, and I've
fallen through and taken out the drop ceiling and landed
on the floor. I've been there, I've done it. It hurts.
I have in new construction, I have hung upside down
(48:54):
by my feet from the metal framing that the drop
ceiling hangs from, and run cable that way.
Speaker 14 (49:06):
It.
Speaker 15 (49:06):
You know, it was the easiest way to do it
at the time I was younger, Yes, absolutely, Would I
do it now, No, of course not. But the kid
I just hired as twenty three years old, he could
do it. He could do it in a minute. It's
all good so anyway, But you cannot. You cannot buy
(49:32):
your way out of misery and poverty. Oh you can
rent your way out of it, don't get me wrong.
You know the Beatles song money can't buy you love.
It's true. Money can't buy love, but you can rent
the hell out of it. It's the same with communism
(49:57):
and socialism. Would you be happy if if everybody in
the country made thirty nine thousand dollars a year?
Speaker 4 (50:12):
That was it.
Speaker 15 (50:13):
Everybody makes the same. You take the highest, you take
the lowest, You balance it out tada thirty nine thousand
dollars a year. Well do you how do you live
on that? Well, the government has to take over all
(50:35):
the housing and control the rent on it so that
everybody pays the same and the same for the groceries,
and the same for your health care. And uh, you know, basically, uh,
you just wake up every day and you take no
(50:57):
responsibility for anything, and uh government makes it all okay,
and you get your I don't know, what does that
work out to be? Little little, little more than three
thousand dollars a month. Three thousand dollars a month. Ah wow,
(51:28):
that'd be a big pay cut. And I've never really
thought about that, but uh, yeah, be a hell of
a pay cut. I'm not down with that.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
Yeah, by the time, by the time you finally retire,
I'll have ways for you to make money over here.
I'm working on it.
Speaker 15 (51:44):
Well, there you go. And I'm all about that. I
am definitely all about some of that, you know. I'm
also I told my boss this morning actually, he was
asking me if I had seen where they're building the
new Amazon distribution facility down the road from our office.
(52:07):
It's just a few miles away, and I was like, no,
I didn't know that was them, and he was like yeah.
I was like, well, maybe I should look into a
job there. He kind of laughed and I looked at
him and I was like, what why are you laughing.
I don't think he liked it very much. But I mean,
(52:34):
you know, if I when I leave this job, I don't.
I don't have to get rich doing what I do next.
I will I will always have a pension from this job.
And I have a separate ira that has been I mean,
(52:57):
we didn't call him iras back then, but I opened
a mutual fund at the age of eighteen, and I've
been working on that, contributing to that and you know
the what not ever since every month at varying levels
as my paycheck aloud. So you know, there's been there
(53:28):
have been a couple of windfalls in the in the
middle along the way that have just been deposited straight
into that. So it's it's a healthy little nest egg.
And like I said, I don't, I don't have to
get rich at my next job. I will be comfortable.
I will be okay between that account, the pension and
(53:52):
you know, God willing a little social security that I've
paid into all my life, biggest Ponzi scheme in his country.
Speaker 2 (54:00):
She didn't know.
Speaker 15 (54:04):
And anybody that would like to discuss why it's a
Ponzi scheme, if you don't think it is, hit me
up on x TCC underscore Rouchi. Glad to have the
conversation with you. It's it's just amazing the things that
our government does to us in the name of taking
care of us, while they're basically bending us over a
(54:26):
chair and going in dry. It's a it's a shame.
It's a damn shame. And uh, I don't I don't
even want to get into social Security. I don't want
to go that deep. That's we don't have time. I
(54:48):
will do that in an upcoming show, though, I will
break it all down. We may spend a half hour
or so just breaking down social security and what a
Ponzi scheme it is, and and you know what's happened
to our money over the years, and why government is.
You know, they're raising they're raising your full retirement age.
(55:09):
They're raising your full retirement age, and they want to
raise it again already even.
Speaker 1 (55:17):
Well, I mean to be fair, when they originally set
this stuff up, nobody was passing sixty five. Anyway, that
was the whole point.
Speaker 15 (55:24):
I mean, I get that, I do, and I understand
that fully. However, they keep saying that the average lifespan
is increasing, but the average lifespan has been held at
seventy seven for quite some time now and it still
(55:44):
remains seventy seven, which means if you wait until you
are fully eligible to draw your Social Security which for
Gen xers that would be the age of sixty seven,
that means you would get ten years of payments, ten
(56:05):
years of payments on average. And like I said, we're
not going to go into it that deep, but I will.
I will do the homework. I will do the math.
I know math is not a fun thing to do
on the radio, but it's something that everybody needs to
(56:26):
be aware of. So I'm going to do the work.
I'm going to bear it out to you. I'm going
to show you exactly what they've done and how they've
ruined it, and how we're going to get screwed for it.
And if you think it's bad for us, our kids
are going to be in worse shape, the grandkids. I mean, really,
(56:50):
what they need to do is draw a line in
the sand. That says, anybody born after this day will
no longer have Social Security withdrawn from their paychecks when
they start working, and Social Security payments will end for
anybody born after this day. Now they will probably have to,
(57:17):
you know, get money from somewhere else to to solvent
that out. But after that it needs to be you know,
a straight up IRA contribution mutual fund. However you want
to work it, privatize it, publicize it, you can. You
can do it yourself, your work can do it whatever.
(57:38):
But it doesn't need to be the government, because the
government is what happened and screwed us.
Speaker 2 (57:44):
All.
Speaker 15 (57:48):
Now, all that said, how do we always end the show?
Speaker 1 (57:54):
Rick Geez happy ending?
Speaker 15 (57:58):
Penny Jes guaranteed happy ending? Bom bom bum so. A
missing person's case in the Florida Panhandle down the Road
for me, a short piece, came to a surprisingly heartwarming
end when a dog got the attention of a passing
(58:22):
patrol car and led a deputy to a missing eighty
six year old woman. Video of the incident was posted
back on October sixth by the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office,
which reports the woman was injured and unable to wake
her make her way back home in the dark. Sometimes
(58:46):
heroes come with four legs and waggy tails, The Sheriff's
office road in its post the initial call came from
a distraught husband concerned about his missing wife. When a
local senior citizen took a tumble and injured herself while
walking her son's dog one night recently, it was a
faithful four legged friend who brought the Okalissa County Sheriff's

Office deputy to her location. It happened around ten thirty
pm on September twenty fifth. The Sheriff's office said in
an email that the video shows Deputy Devin Miller was
searching nearby residential streets after the call had come in.

her walk, she happened to come across the dog. The
deputy stopped and instinct instinctually, not instinctfully, asked the dog,
Hey baby, where's your mama? Show me and this is perfect.

turning and leading the deputy through a front yard beside
a home and then onto the golf course where the
missing woman was found lying on the golf cart path.

Alert and conscious. Paramedics were summoned and the woman was
taken to the medical facility for evaluation. As the deputy
waited for ems, she explained to the woman that the
dog led to her rescue and the dog's name is

back to me. She said, you're a good boy, and
Grandma loves you.
