Chernobyl Blue Dogs - FRI 9.2

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
So Lewis and Clark had weird four ways with a

(00:03):
Native American girl and a black slave.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
That's something they don't teach you in public school. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
I think that's the kind of thing that would probably
make the kiddos pay a little more attention. We're gonna
do it essay on Lewis and Clark and all the
orgies they threw. Hey, yeah, well, okay, let's study. That
changes the whole thing, right.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
What was your favorite class in high school, mister Kenneth, Oh,
I loved all the classes. I just love to learn,
never stop learning. I bet I know Billy eds I's Jim.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
I was gonna say shop, but well, shop was fun,
but you didn't get it every semester.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
No, I could a talk shop. The shop guy we
had h he's all right. Did could have taught him
a few things.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Did your high school have one of those like mechanical
garages where they teach how.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
To fix the car? Well, we had auto shop, auto shop,
and we also had wood shop. Yeah, you know where
you know they guy, it never fails.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
The instructor in wood shop has always got like three fingers,
you know, on one hand or something that Planer used
to he's serious when he says, you don't just stick
your hand in there and on that board planter.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
That thing will suck you right into it.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
My high school had something in the nineties called Technology Lab,
where they would teach you about all the gadgets you're
gonna use in the future, and then in the future
we didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Use any of this. Guys didn't really show up too much.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
They're like, this is We're gonna build a bridge out
of popsicle sticks, and then we're gonna test the integrity
of the structure using these weights. Yeah, and even though
it required a lot of math, I still kind of
enjoyed doing that.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
I thought that was a cool class. Some stuff with
computers that ended up getting me into trouble. Uh yeah,
well that'll happen. Yeah, you're not supposed to put a
sandwich in the floppy disk drive. Also, how funny was
that word three and a half inch floppy? Kids today
have no idea how funny that was.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
A lot of that good stuff from the computer days.
They had to change it, I guess because kids when
we were kids kept messing with it.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Something happened on the pop charts this week and it
hasn't happened since nineteen ninety Right now, Billy ed at
this exact specific moment, there are no rap songs in
the US top forty for the first time in decades.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
So things are looking up. Yeah, I got a trend here.
Let's let's stay with it, folks.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
It comes after Kendrick Lamar and Sizza's hit last year, Luther,
departed the Billboard Hot one hundred due to rule changes
to the chart in how songs are deemed eligible.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Oh they changed the rules.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Huh yeah to get yeah to get five People of
Luther was still a top forty hit at the time,
landing at number thirty eight in its final week, but
the single didn't maintain a placement at number twenty five
or above after its twenty six week on the chart.
The rule change subsequently resulted in the track disappearing from.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
The top forty. Yes it did.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
The collaborative track was removed from the rundown after forty
six weeks, during which the song spent thirteen weeks at
number one. Well, okay, so there is now not one
hip hop or rap song in the Hot one hundred's
top forty as per the latest chart update October twenty ninth.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
The list does include.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallan,
Taylor Swift, Olivia Dean, Taylor Swift, somebody named Kolanie, Taylor Swift,
Alex Warren, Morgan Wallen, Tayn Colonic.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
I guess Klannie Klonic. You don't know, we don't know.
I'd like to see Luther Vandros back on the chart. Yeah,
that'd be smooth right there.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, he was cool, you know, because his music is
the kind of music you could pray to or have
sex to. There's not a lot out there you could.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Do that with, you know the way, thanks to the Lord.
You damn right? Oh god, oh god, No, you're darn right.
I guess not dang right. Yeah. Yeah. Blue dogs have
been spotted near Chernobyl. The paintings the Blue Dogs are famous.
Can you.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
I know everyone in New Orleans and probably Houston knows
what you're talking about, But would you explain that real quick?

Speaker 2 (03:46):
What are blue dogs?

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Blue Dogs is a paint It's this kind of an
artist's it's paintings.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
You know him, if you saw him. It's kind of
an iconic thing. It's all over in New orga.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Quite valuable now too.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
All right, well this is a little different than that
we now Chernobyl back in the day. Chernobyl is one
of the only nuclear disasters in human history. There's only
been a few three mile island Chernobyl. What's the other one, Fukushima? Right, exactly,
there's not that many.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Congratulations, you said it, right, Yeah, you gotta be careful
what that one.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Multiple dogs with unusual coloration have been roaming the site
of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, which happened forty years ago,
called They're Blue. Yeah, there's actually a project affiliated with
a group called Clean Future Fund. It's a nonprofit and
the projects called Dogs of Chernobyl, all capitalized.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Obviously. They have a social media account.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Last month they did a post showcasing dogs with blue
fur recently seen at the exclusion zone in Ukraine. You
could probably imagine what exclusion zone. I could imagine a
very unique experience to discuss Chernobyl.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Blue dogs they are.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
They're on the ground, they're catching the dogs for sterilization,
and they came across.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Three dogs that were completely blue. They're not sure exact
what is going on. Not a blue healer, No, not
a blue tick. No, I mean a blue blue dog.
Did their eyes glow red? Also? That would be cool.
They're very blue. Here, I got a video of them.
Let me see if I can get this on the
screen so you can get a look at what I'm
talking about, Soure.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
That's not somebody with some spray paint or some some
chalk dust or something.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Look at it. It looks like they got chalk dusted. Bro.
They're literally blue. Right. It's a spooky looking dog right there.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
You get that they've captured these dogs and looked at them.
They know that's what their fur looks like. They are
so interesting. There's a completely white one next to one
that's mostly blue with a little gray.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
And can I just say what? I'm sure the scientists
wouldn't agree with That dog is adorable. I want that,
doesn't it? Wouldn't you adopt that dog? Want that radio
active whaite one or a blue one? The blue one?
What about that white one? Well it's not really for me.
Oh no, you don't want a white one. No I can't.
I can't have that. If I had a white dog,
everybody would think I was racist. Of course they're gonna

(05:58):
think that anyway. But look, how cool, and they're just
hanging out there in the woods. I want a blue dog,
you know.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
I wonder if you took that walking in the park
if the girls would come up to you like they
do people with dogs and.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Like, hey, dogs so cute. Don't want to put your
dog and blue dogs able to keep people away.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
I hate when they do that with Milton. Some of
these girls just want to come talk to me like dogs. No,
it bothers me.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
They're like, oh, you're to hot ones with the cleavage,
and they like to squat down and in front of you.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
I'm like, this dog isn't a piece of meat. This
dog's part of my family. Lady.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
You can't just come over here with your short little
skirt and your busty cleavage and bend over and pet
my dog and think I'm gonna let you do it
because you're pretty. I tell them, no, get away, Harlot, Yeah,
I'm not letting them do that.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Do they get away? Usually? Well, if you said it
out loud, they would, Yeah. I don't. Mostly you're just
thinking that to yourself. Yeah, I wouldn't want to insalt
them and hurt their feelings. That'd be really mean.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
This is so great, guys, there's one of my favorite
news stories from today. There's so much to talk about today,
and it's taken us a while to get to all
of it.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Do you remember do you remember this dirty issues at
the Louver?

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Well, yeah, all right, if you had to guess, what
do you think The password for the Louver's video surveillance system, No, was.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
It password close?

Speaker 3 (07:13):
Was it ABCD or A QW E R T one
two three, four five six?

Speaker 2 (07:20):
You're getting there. The password for the Louver art, No,
the four five six, I don't know. I'll just tell
you it was Louver. The password is hard to spell,
though l O U V R E does it don't
sound like it have that? Uh, it sounds like you'd
say Louver louvery yeah, louver Rey.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
The Louver Museum in Paris was warned about serious security
shortcomings as far back as twenty fourteen. They did an
they did an audit back then, and they were telling them,
you know, you might want to change a password for
the video surveillance system, like why would we do that.
Last month's joy heist to the Louver sent shockwaves globally,
proving that even the world's most visitive museum is not

(08:00):
immune to robbery.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
In broad daylight, yep, at Thurn day lat and everything,
and so apparently, in the wake of the highest the
country's Minister of Culture, Rashida Dati raschieda I don't know,
assured the liver security system didn't fail. However, experts have
been raising concerns about the museum security for more than
a decade. Apparently, a report from the French newspaper Liberation

(08:22):
examined confidential documents and determined the surveillance server password was louver,
which is of course the software program provided by the company.
Oh yeah, to secure. And by the way, we're supposed
to change that when you when you take it over.
The software program provided by the company Fails that's the
name of the company. Was secured with a password called fails. Well,
of course it was guys. I think you wanted something

(08:44):
to get stolen. Sounds like it. It doesn't sound like
you were even trying. I mean getting to think. These
French people just sit around all day smoking and eating
crapes and having sex pretty much. It yeah, a long week.
Questions move Walton M. Johnson. Some of their old stuff
is it really considered new music? It's bad company. With
the Struts.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
They have a new album where they team up with
a bunch of new rock bands and play their old
rock bans.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
I mean the Slut So I think no no Struts Sluts.
Sluts is a band from New Orleans. I don't think
they're together any so it is a band. I was
right about that then, Yeah, I know you're right about that. Yeah,
the Struts are a rock band. That's funny, the ones
he can remember? Yeah, why do you remember that this name?
The Struts are this band. They're a newer rock band
with new music. Then we're not going to listen to

(09:31):
it because we're not amazing. There you go, Yeah, sorry,
you want to hear music stick around? Our show is
almost over. Some of our affiliates play music a man,
And we don't.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
Have to go to Florida because I know we got
a lot of other things ketch up on in Florida.
Man in Florida, man blah blah blah, struck a female
seven to eleven clerk in the faith with a.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Wad of anybody money? Duh, what else could there be
a wad of? See?

Speaker 1 (09:57):
When I think of wat, they think of money or
one other thing. And I know I can't say that
on the radio chewing tobacco. What you were thinking, Yeah,
that's right.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
He was mad because there wasn't enough toilet paper in
the bathroom, so he came out and he spat a
big water chewing tobacco in the lady's face.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Well that's just rude. But you know, it's Florida, so
what can you expect.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
There have been a lot of these lately. There was
a guy in Florida, a kid the other day in
Florida who he shot one of his classmates because he
bumped him.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
What happened? He bumped me? And they was like what
teenagers or something like that. They just couldn't figure out
a way to iron out their differences. There's a few
of those soundbites from the nearnies. Why'd you stab that guy?
He bumped me? M because he bumped you. He looked
at me, Funny. I don't like the way he was
looking at me. You looking at me? Yeah, I'm looking
at you. You look at me. I'm looking at you. Man. Man,

(10:50):
here's my advice, don't stab people. That's it. That's all
the advice is. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
In Dallas, a woman in Dallas threatened to call the
cops after a couple rolled the window down and asked
her to turn on the radio.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Turn up?

Speaker 3 (11:10):
That's an uber Is this an uber thing? Threatened to
call the cops. A couple rolled the window down and
asked her to turn on the radio. I don't even
know what that means. Why are these even in the news.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
A newly elected mayor in Kansas isn't a citizen and
can't legally.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Vote from Kansas anymore? Are we?

Speaker 1 (11:31):
I can't believe this is a real news story, live
right now. The mayor of Coldwater, Kansas, Jose Cabellos, who
would have thought with a name like that, could have
been revealed to be a foreign national who not only
got elected while not being a citizen, but has also
been voting in federal and state election since twenty twenty two.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
I'm sure he had not.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
Accused of election fraud. The charges come hours after he
secured a second term in office. Attorney General Chris Cobo
charged Mayor Jose Joe with six felonies.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
The thing that never happens keeps happening. Yeah, I think
that's something.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
But it's not going to ever happen again, though, right
I'm sure we put a stop to that.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
A lot of Democrats need to be elected or arrested,
excuse me, instead of being elected. Tesla says shareholders have
approved Musk's one trillion dollar pay plan, with over seventy
five percent voting in.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Favor of it. It's a lot. Yeah, it's a lot
of money.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
You know, most of the shareholders that vote on that
sort of thing, or probably his friends, his boys.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, peeps, I owned Tesla. I didn't get asked to vote.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
I was gonna say you you might have. You could
have sent a proxy in, but it wouldn't have mattered.
You don't own enough to count. I own stock and
a lot of stuff.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
I would never use Tesla military industrial stuff.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
That one dating app that.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
It's the only one you haven't used, and you've had
no luck with the others.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Why not try? It seems problematic? Is it just because
it's all men? Is that your problem? Yeah, that's probably
part of it. That's a big part of it. Yeah,
I don't wonder you're funny about that.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
I don't hate gay people, but I'm not going to
date them or have sex with them. But you know,
like I'm comfortable enough with my sexuality to own stock.
What do I care?

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah? What do you care?

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah, let's see Senate to vote on a one year
partial funding package that ought to do it.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Oh, they voted what fourteen different times to try to
get this thing open, and I think the sum they
call it the Schumer shutdown for a reason. He's he's
instructed all the Democrats in the Senate, and he kind
of runs the Democrat side of it. They don't vote
for it unless he says so, So it's Schumer's shut down.

(13:36):
As much as they want to try to put it
off on Republicans, it ain't.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Three Supreme Court justices voted to allow Americans to lie
about their biological sex on their passports.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Oh dear, yes, Okay, have they done anything on these
tariffs yet? They want to decide on Trump's tariffs and
whether he should be elettered it now. Apparently all the
other nations can bend us over and just have their
way with us with their tariffs, but we're not supposed
to tear if them back.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
It feels like that wouldn't bother someone like you very much,
the mut No. The thing that strikes me so odd
about the Supreme Court justices voting that way is put
aside your your ideology or you know, defense of the
trans lifestyle or whatever. What is the point of having
the gender on the ID in the first place. Isn't
it so that people doing security screenings will have some

(14:24):
way of knowing at the very least you are you
aren't this person because you're not a guy, or you
are a guy. If we could test your chromosomes or
give you a quick pat down, just check in here.
You know, it's like, huh huh, it doesn't seem like
you are the thing you claim to be.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
What what's the point.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Of having it there if not to at least give
some Maybe we just need to change that from sex
to biological sex for security purpose.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Maybe so as did they name the three that said
this was good? Yeah, you know exactly who it was.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
I thinking Soda Meyer, Katanji, Affirmative Action, Jackson Brown, and
Elena Kagan.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
I knew Katanji was in there because she couldn't identify
a woman. She couldn't tell us the definition.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Because of a woman.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Because if this is being like politically correct or transensitive
or whatever, then just remove it from the card completely.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
It serves no other purpose.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
It's not what you feel like it's not like we're
asking you what's your favorite kind of food?

Speaker 2 (15:17):
Let's put that on the passport. What do you feel
like you are?

Speaker 4 (15:21):
Yea?

Speaker 1 (15:21):
What color would you like your hair to be? What's
your favorite kind of music?

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Ah? It says right here, Pop, You're right, we could
tell you're a country fan. That's right, you lid.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
The whole point of the passport is for a security screening.
If you can lie on that ID, it's not serving
a purpose.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
I don't know. I guess I made my point. I
think you did drive me nuts. Are well?

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Are you gonna be able to get over it by Monday?
Probably you have a whole weekend to kind of let
it slide.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, I'm like, or you can.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Worry about it furiously and intensely all weekend long and
Monday the thing will have changed.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
What are you guys doing tonight? You guys are gonna
go see Okay Go I got tickets?

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Well, yeah, you have to go to that, right, it's
the band's The band's called Okay Go billyud.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Well, of course it is. Yeah, I'm gonna be in
the front row. It's not there's not a rose Billy had.
It's standing room only.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
But I'm gonna be standing in the front, up against
the stage. My chance will be pressed up against the stage,
probably cut off my breath, and I probably won't be up,
pass out and probably won't survive it.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
I want to believe I'm a big fan. I don't care.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
I feel like you're making fun of me. Billy d Yeah,
I think he is. You know what John would say.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Don't forget boys and girls too, eat it every day.
