Lawsuits Everywhere - WED 7.1

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Paramounts Plus plans to raise prices next year. And you
know this is really bad news for their subscriber. That
subscriber is going to be passed. Well, they got to
pay south Park apellion dollars somehow.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yeah, they gotta raise that money somehow. You know, I
think all these streaming services are gonna raise their prices,
and just Paramount has announced it, the rest of them
will probably just slip it in at the bottom of
the screen when you sign on next time.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
They are not sponsoring this sports report.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Oh they are not. Matter of fact that the sports
has brought to you by my pillow dot com. That
is a prime sponsorship spot. And and Mike Lindell said,
that's all he wants is the best for everybody. He
wants the best for himself. That's why he advertised on
the show. And he wants the best for you. That's
why he provides you with a promo code WJ so
you save money at my pillow dot com.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
If I could give you all one idea for a
present for Christmas for the person that's got everything, get
them a mite O mattress topper. My mattress top when
I sleep in hotel beds or visit a family member.
It's just disappointing because my my pillow mattress topper is
so exquisite. It is the perfect way.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
It's an intimate gift, though, isn't it to mean? You know,
you don't want to just give that to somebody you're
casual with, right like, unless you want to, you know,
ask her later, say how's that mattress topper working at? Huh?

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Are you guys making this sexual? I was employed. You
could give that to anyone. Why does it have to
be a sex thing? You're gonna go to sleep on it?
Have you ever met us before? Is this your first
day here? You guys are filthy. That's new to the show, y'all.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
That's disgusting.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
The fight. They call them the fighting Tigers because they
like to fight. And I guess Brian Kelly has taken
that from LSU to the courthouse now because LSU wanted
to negotiate a lower payout than the fifty four million
dollars Brian Kelly is expected in the contract, and so

(01:57):
by negotiating down what twenty five thirty million, wouldn't you like?
He decided? Brian Kelly decided, I guess I'll just sue
Illissu there, so he basically suing you if you're a
Tiger fan. He's suing the LSU community, suing the school,
He's suing the fans, the players. Everybody gotta pay Brian Kelly.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
All right.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Technically the lawsuit hasn't been filed yet, but it certainly
looks like it's about to. And I think I could
be the one to step in a negotiate a deal
between mister Kelly and the people at LSU.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
I have an idea.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
You have skill sets in this arbitration style, all right
for fifty month four million is a lot of money
to just suck as the coach for a couple of years.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Wouldn't you agree?

Speaker 2 (02:40):
That's just the extra over what they've already paid him
for four years?

Speaker 3 (02:43):
All right, here's my idea.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Instead of fifty four million, we shaved that in half,
and then we give you a mipillow mattress topper for
everyone in your extended family.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
What do you think?

Speaker 2 (02:52):
What do you say?

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Brian?

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Come on, Brian, done deal. That's a good deal.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Two thumbs up for Brian.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
The university fired Brian last month because he and now
he wants money.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yeah, well, he wanted him to live up to the contract.
And I know there's a lot of people out there
as they will to contract contract, you goad to do
what you got to do. Ain't no way you reason
you can't decide to change it if both parties agree
it is. He didn't seem to be agreeable to the
change in of it. So now they got to move
on to the next step.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
In the fact that this is happening just further proof
that all the criticism of Jeff Landry is ridiculous. Jeff
had a good point here. The person that's in charge
in negotiating the deal, the LSU athletic director, is clearly unqualified.
The guy doesn't understand math, he doesn't understand economics.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
It ain't his first time to do this either.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Not even the first time.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
So so Jeff Landry, Governor Louisiana, fine, criticize him if
you want. He's right about this, steps in and says,
all right, we need somebody else to hire the next coach.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
And of course everybody all just assumed that meant him.
It did not. He did not say he wanted to
pick the next coach. He just didn't want that guy
to do it. He'd like to have a team of
you know, several hand picked best friends.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
I guess, yeah, us, Yeah, that'd be fun. Obviously it
should be us. And we've boiled it down to three people,
that guy from Duck Dynasty, Lil Wayne or Emerald. Now
Emerald is probably a little too cocky right now because
you just got two Mitchell and stars at his restaurants, he's.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
All boat, his shoulders are back, it's just all puffed out.
Of course, it's partly because he eats a lot.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, Now, the last thing we want is another Brian
Kelly who's all cocky just because he can make at
two fay. So I think that shaves him off the
list there, and then I'm leaning towards Lil Wayne. Now
I know he's a Green Bay Packers fan.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
I'm definitely going with myself.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
But wouldn't it be cool just to see him on
the sidelines being like weezy? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Isn't it weird too? How he talks with a deep voice,
but he wraps all high pitched.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
I don't get it. I don't get it either. I
don't think I've ever heard it. But that's okay, don't
play it for me on my account. We got sports
to do coming up.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
A lot of Lil Wayne music as requested by.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
See if Pete Rank is coming out for the second
goal around. Not a whole lot of news, O House
date Texas, A and m Alabama and Georgia. That's your
top five. So when when they come out with you know,
the playoffs, thank you for the twelve. You know, that's
how the bracket is by But they gonna keep doing

(05:14):
this all the way through the end of this month
in the early December, so you'll know by the first
week of December, you'll actually have that that playoff bracket
all filled out. So in the meantime you're just looking
at possibilities. But teams are gonna start beating other teams
that are in the in the twelve. They're gonna some
of them gonna play each other and they're gonna knock them out.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Really, is that how that works?

Speaker 2 (05:38):
How that works?

Speaker 3 (05:38):
That'll be that that should be fun to watch on TV?
Can I watch that?

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Apparently unless you got that YouTube blackout thing going, I
don't know what the hell that is all about?

Speaker 1 (05:47):
And that interesting Apparently ABC is losing money. Hang on,
I got the story here somewhere Disney is losing thirty
million dollars a week during the YouTube TV blackout.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
This is part of the government shutdown.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, the broadcast dispute. No, it's not part of the
government checkdown. The broadcast dispute between Disney and YouTube TV
is reportedly costing the mouse house tens of millions of dollars,
according to a report from Morgan Stanley. Sports fans in
particular have been hit hard by the blackout, as some
ten million YouTube TV subscribers lost access to ESPN, ABC
and other Disney affiliated channels.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
That kind of sucks during college football.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
After your contract negotiations broke down at the end of October.
The Disney blackout began October thirtieth, and it cuts off
broadcast as Sports Center and Nashville U nine to one
one in Gray's Anatomy, Why is there a nine to
one to one Nashville? What do we need that for?
Morgan Stanley analyst Ben Swinburne lowered his Disney quarterly in
net income estimate by twenty five million dollars from one

(06:44):
point five to five billion to one point five to two,
saying YouTube is feeling some financial pinch over the disagreement.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Well, if you don't get ABC and ESPN, look at
what you go miss this Saturday. Aggie's they got to
start early. Aggies, you know, Military College and all kind
of liked that. Don't mind getting up early. The game
time is eleven o'clock. Now, I'm guessing those those those
sleepy heads from who is at South Carolina? Mm, yeah,
they'll probably still be sleeping at eleven o'clock. So that's

(07:11):
gonna be an ass whooping the Baggi's gonna hand out.
And that's on the esp And then the Oklahoma Alabama game,
that's a that's you know, your your top players there.
That the top teams that's on ABC. I'm gonna miss
that too.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Not to mention the latest ab episodes of Abbott Elementary,
The Golden Bachelor in America's Funniest Home Videos. You know
you can't just DVR those, you gotta watch them live. Yep,
it's part of the fun.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
All right. O.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Little NFL news for you guys. Marshawn neland still that
former Dallas cowboy. Yeah, it took his own life. You've
probably heard about it. Just last week. His girlfriend has
finally spoken out. Since the shocking news, His girlfriend obviously
not happy about this. He killed himself with a gun,

(07:58):
and Catalina Moncarraz says she's grieving hard over his death.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Are we sure? Why don't we a Erica Kirk this story?
You know, I think she might have had something to
do with it, and she doesn't look that sad to me.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
I just want to make it clear to a small
portion of our audience that doesn't understand sarcasm, Billy is kidding.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
Just so we're clear.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
You know, you take all the fun out of having
fun Canny.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Everybody in the room knew that, and we wanted to laugh.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
But the other day we made a similar comment and
one guy threatened to hurt us and said he's never
listened to the show again.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
I told you, I'm not gonna let him hurt you.
Cain't he just I'll be like Reacher with that guy
in the jail cell. I'll protect you. Thanks Philly, that big,
mean man comes to hurt you.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Thank you, Billy.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
And I just want to make it clear if you
hear us make a comment about Erica Kirk and it
sounds like we're denigrating her, We're making fun of the
people that are attacking her.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
We think that what people are doing to her is awful.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Although, oh boy, god.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Mister Kenneth, No, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Did you see the Jesse Waters interview with her. She
has that Kleenex with her like this all the time.
I'm in her little fist, and she just keeps dabbing
under her eyes. There were no tears to dab. There
were no tears. She just kept dabbing a dry eye.
I'm sorry I noticed things.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Okay, a woman explained this to me. Because I don't
know much about makeup. Apparently, if you start tearing, well obviously,
or life in general for that matter, but apparently if
you just dab the side of your eye right as
you're about to cry, it doesn't screw up your makeup.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
That's what she's worried about, is her makeup. I'm sure now.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
I'm not a you know, like a makeup expert, or
a crying expert, or even an expert on the the
ex wive versus x X chromosome dichotomy.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
I'm just telling you I don't think that.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Erica Kirk murdered her husband, despite what Candace Owens is
now suggesting.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
You know, she says she has the evidence she says
she's got the receipts.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Now she's saying, I never accused Erica Kirk of murdering
her husband. You said it was an inside.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Job, but she might have just meant she assisted, and.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Then insinuated that Erica Kirk shouldn't be in charge of
turn Point usay because of what happened.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
What did you mean maybe she was being sarcastic, h
and you just missed it?

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Well, fair point.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
No, you're right, colonel Sanders, Chicken Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
So a Senate late Monday passed a funding package that
would end the government shut down and fund the Department
of Agriculture and the FDA.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Tucked into the funding bill.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
They hid a little something in there that's going to
explode later after they pass it is a.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Provision that would recriminalize many of the intoxicating hemp derived
products that were legalized by the.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Twenty eighteen Farm Bill.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Oh hell no.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Two guys in the Republican Party were fervently opposed to it,
Rampaul and Ted Cruz and everybody else.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
Anyway, everybody else was fully on board. Thought it was
a great idea.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
You know, Rand is the only one that didn't even
vote yes on it, but everybody else did, even if
they knew it was in there.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
I don't understand these people's positions. Mitch McConnell was a
champion of legalizing hemp in the twenty eighteen farm Belt,
but since then he soured on what he says is
a loophole the companies use to take legal amounts of
THHC from hemp and turn it into what they describe
as intoxicating substances. I'm one of the only people in
the media will it admit out loud. I've done legal

(11:18):
weed in Colorado, and I've used the intoxicating substances they
describe in all the other fifty states that are legal,
and it's not the same thing the stuff that they.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
That you can legally buy in Texas.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
It's like having a dakeery with half the amount of alcohol.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
It's just not so that good question. Are these guys
doing that kind of stuff to protect their friends who
have interests in the alcoholic beverage business. I mean, right away,
the first thing you said was, you know, without that,
I guess I'll just have to have Margarita's and dakeries
and go drink more bourbon or rum or something pharmaceuticals.

(11:56):
Are they helping the alcohol sales or I hope in
the big drug companies both.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
But yes, yes, it's the answer to it.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
And they're getting paid under the table, not their salary
as representatives of our government. They get their own money
and that's how they become filthy, stinking rich on a
salary of less than two hundred thousand dollars a year.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
You know what I think this is about. Have you
ever been walking around in a downtown area in a
big city. I've done that and you get a whiff
of you get a little smell of someone smoking something.
Oh hell, and you look around. You don't even see
the guy, but you could tell it's not a cigarette.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Was there a sporting event going on at the time.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
Something, or a park nearby or whatever.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
This always happens when I'm walking to and from the
stadium for an event.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
I think that's what this is about.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
I think that is it's old ladies annoyed by the
site of a CBD shop and a strip mall combined
with that smell they get. Is they're walking downtown to
go have brunch on Sunday after church and they smell
some hippie in the park smoking a jay. And by
the way, that's not even this is about No, they
don't know the difference, but they don't care either.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
But okay, how do we explain it to them? I
don't know. They're not going to listen to this.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Radio to get a young girlfriend to explain it to him.
I think that's that's how it works for me. Anyway,
what do you think of Cash could tell his girlfriend?
I think she looks a pretty pretty good.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
She's a very attractive woman.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Is this a setup?

Speaker 3 (13:20):
What do you mean?

Speaker 2 (13:21):
You're asking? What do you think? When you know what
he thinks?

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Well, you know, it's like a lot of people think
she's too pretty for him. Would you agree with that?

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Well, yeah, but then you know every girlfriend you've ever
had was probably too pretty for you.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Every girlfriend that mister O every had was probably too
pretty for him. No, No, it was just right, all right.
We got a new word, everybody. It's a fun word too.
I hope I'm saying it right.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Vulcanato, which is vulnatov. I don't think there's a k
in there?

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Vlnato?

Speaker 2 (13:51):
What what is that?

Speaker 3 (13:53):
Todo?

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Tornadoes and lava apparently in Hawaii right now, that's.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
Remember fire NATO's this is even this is even cooler.
Tornado comes whipping along the volcano. The volcanoes spewing lava,
and the tornado goes and sucks it up into the
funnel and throws lava around like it's a busted uh ductal.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Pour and the and the volcanoes, Yeah, he's right, yeah,
and the volcanoes are apparently that they're creating a lot
of lava.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
Here's what I don't get about this. And I'm certainly
no geologist.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
By the way, this is actually a thing in.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
I obviously that's why we're playing the music.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
That's I wanted to make sure they knew.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Once the volcano gets the lava gets sucked up into
the tornado, doesn't it turn to rock, because then it's
cold and wet. It doesn't Eventually, I guess how long
does it take to go from the lava to rock,
Like a couple of thousand degrees there's lava and then.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
So yeah, it's probably a slow cal it'll it'll harden
out on the on the crust, but things still fling
it around, and then it's flinging lava rocks at you.
It's not a whole lot.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Better is I've never lived near a volcano, but I
find it interesting that they have them in places like Hawaii.
In Italy, Italy doesn't seem like a volcano place, but
it is.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
There's a there's a pretty pretty famous one there.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
There's a website called Volcano Discovery and they tell you
all the activity over the past twenty four hours at
volcanos around the world. In Italy, there's a volcano called Stromboli.
Isn't that cool and that fun? I love cousta, That's
what I thought. It reminds me of my mom, my
Italian mom. And that's not a violin or a fiddle

(15:33):
or something. A Stromboli. I think I heard next time
a famous fiddle.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Mister ol What is he talking about? I not beat
the hell out of me. I almost never know what
they red neck food we'll talk about.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
No, I think you're thinking of viola? Is what that?

Speaker 1 (15:46):
NOA various perhaps, Nah, that's not it. That's a way
of measuring time. It's it sounds similar to Stromboli, strat
of areas.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Yeah, I can see you'd make that.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
I don't know, but suddenly I want Italian ice cream.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Case, we were talking about volnadoes, that's true. The volcano
over there, what do you.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Call it, Kla Kloea. That's an awesome name for a volcano.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah, Kilo Whale is producing a fountain of lava, erupting
about a thousand feet into the sky. And then here
comes the twister and they got it on a video.
Somebody was close enough to get to the volnado action.
Pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
My dream of smoking a brisket on top of a
volcano just became that much closer to reality. Thought you
wanted to smoke a biscuit with our alien invaders when
they arrived soon or the robot overlords.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yeah there's that too. If you'd like to get gay
for space, I think we could.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yeah, we're going to.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
But this talk about volcanos always reminds me of one
of my favorite American authors, Mark Twain. Back before he
famous a long time ago, he was a newspaper reporter.
And back in those days, it's a long time ago,
they did not have national parks, They did not have
air travel wasn't cheap and affordable.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
He had a couple of national parks, but they wouldn't
you know, like so so many rules and stuff back
then either, but.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
People weren't going on vacation to Hawaii to look at
the volcano. No, he was one of the only people
at the time that had done this. And he went
out there with his buddies and they stood on the
side of the volcano and they may cooked the brisket. No,
they were drinking whiskey, and they were pushing boulders into
the volcano to watch what happened down below.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Now, a couple of his buddies probably slipped when they
were pushing the boulder, fell in and disintegrated in the
lava pool. But still they had a great time.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah, Mark Twain was such a cool guy, you know,
Billy had in some ways, You're kind of like a
modern day Mark Twain.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
A good storyteller at a great American.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Patriots see that. Yeah, I can see that.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
And there was there was so yeah, that's weird. He
kind of is.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
I think, you know, he's he's a he's a wordsmith,
if you will, sort of an unexpectedly good one.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
And the other thing I always remarkable bar Mark Twain.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Besides his ability to tell stories, he came up with
the coolest names for his characters. Didn't he mister, Oh
you mean like Tom? Yeah, sure, Huck. Yeah, what was
another one that was real cool? I feel like there's
one more we're leaving out though.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Oh yeah, Tom's girlfriend, uh Betsy, Yeah, that must have
been the one you were looking for.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Can't think anymore.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
And Wayne particular, that's freedom, that's America, Walton and Johnson
