Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mixed feelings about whether this should qualify as a Canadian
rock band. They're called Arcade Fire. They're from the Woodlands,
which is an affluent.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Suburb of Houston, nowhere near Canada, but they moved to
Canada where because they like French fries with gravy and cheese.
I guess probably.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I always like this band, but because they abandoned Texas
and moved to Canada, I'm gonna point out that the
lead singer at a me too moment where he was
supposedly uh boy sexual misconduct with a transgender teenager.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
What Yeah? Damn? People just can't act right? Can they
still a great band? A lot of people just can't
act right? Well? Anyway? Oh, speaking of an acting right,
we got to get our numbers in. It's it's getting
late in the show. We've got to get everybody's number.
Yet every Friday, everybody likes to get the numbers in,
and it's a prop bat and guess how many people
will be shot and or how many people will be
(00:52):
killed in Chicago, one of these safest cities in America,
is what I hear.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
All Right, let's think a little bit for a second now.
Last weekend, I don't want this to affect your decision
too much. But last weekend, four killed, fourteen wounded.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I'm gonna go higher this weekend, do you think So
you think it goes up. I think it's going up.
I'm gonna go Well, I'm not gonna give him. I'm
just gonna write my numbers down and we'll all keep
them secret and then we'll find out Monday.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Okay, So who was right the weather this weekend? If
this affects your decision, mostly in the fifties in Chicago,
upper forties, low fifties.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Generally calls for less murdering. But I gotta think the
criminals are They've been called out by the governor of
the state. Sure, the governors basically issued a challenged all
the criminals they are in Chicago who like to shoot
and kill people all the time, because he says they're
really not that effective.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Why does Chicago have the highest murder rate of all
the big cities.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Well, we are not in the top thirty in terms of.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Our murder rate, and our murder rate sorry cut in
half over the last four years, and every year it's
gone down by double digits. And if you look at
all of the violent crime Over the last four years.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
They've all gone to US City's seventeen point seven for
one hundred thousand populations. God was number one over Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas,
San Antonio, Phoenix, Los Angeles, New York, and San Diego.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Hey, what I'm explaining to you now you're talking about.
What I'm trying to do is get away with love statistics.
That's the best part going at him. What I'm trying
to explain to you is how we can manipulate the data. Yeah,
you're just not paying attention to how we work these times.
Not even in the top thirty according to that lion
fat face Governor Pritzker. Oh, I can't stand him. I couldn't.
(02:42):
I was watching that live yesterday and I had to
turn it off. I can't stand watching him even I
don't know if he's ever told the truth. He didn't
at all yesterday, so I had just turned it off.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
There's a good of time as ever, to remind everybody.
One of my favorite economists is Darryl Hoff He wrote.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
A famous note Middleton Freed.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Nobody knows that he's Milton Friedman is my favorite economist.
One of my favorite economists is the author of a
book called How to Lie with Statistics.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
That's how you know Kenny is lipity. He got more
than one favorite economists.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I am really into economics, I am. And How to
Lie with Statistics is such an easy book to read.
It's short, it's concise, it's got cute cartoon drawings in it,
and basically what it tells you is you can take
information that's technically true and twist it around, flip it
upside down, turn it backwards, put address on it, and
it'll the same information can be presented in a totally
(03:34):
different way and make a totally different statement.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I think we're gonna have to start calling it trans truth. Yeah,
trans truth, because we all know trans means not whatever
comes next, right, trans man? Yeah, not a man. Trans truth,
not the truth. That's exactly correct. There's a neighborhood in
Chicago called Austin. It is one of the murder capitals
(03:58):
of the world. It's on the near West Side.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
You'll never go there, even if you visit Chicago on
a business trip and stay all week going And there's
a couple other neighborhoods like this. Garfield Park would be
one of them. A lot of places on the South Side.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
What JB.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Pritzker is trying to do here is ignore the fact
that the murder rate in those neighborhoods is so alarmingly
high by calculating the number of people that live in
the fancy white neighborhoods times this divided by that, and
then suddenly it's not so bad anymore.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Sure, just throw in a bunch of other random neighborhoods
until you've deluded the numbers. If we compared the city
of Austin, Texas's crime rate, which is already not great,
to the neighborhood of Austin Chicago, it would make one
of these places look like Stalingrad by comparison. And we're
not going to do the per capita thing all because
(04:47):
we know that's races. Okay, But that's what JB. Pritzker's doing.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
He's doing per capita in an effort to make it
seem as though Chicago's actually not that bad. But if
you just look at the raw numbers without doing all
this fancy flip it up side down, divide by the
population and manipulated per year per capita, suddenly you realize
it's not a place you'd want to go.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Anywhere near. Oh no, never Ever, I don't want to
end the show, and we're getting closer to that. It's
not over yet, but I just want to spend the
last few minutes of the show at least talking about
some uplifting, you know, quality news instead of war and
crime and killing and all the terrible things that go
on every day. So back five years ago, in twenty twenty,
(05:31):
there was a guy in England named Ryan, and Ryan
got pinned under a car in a crosswalk there in
the street, and a woman total stranger to Ryan named
Kirsty saw this and she came and took care of him.
(05:52):
She didn't lift the car off of him or anything,
but she took care of him and consoled him and
you know, told him to hang in there. The paramedics
were on the way, and then the paramedics came and
they saved him. Now five years later they just got married.
Did you get chills? Got chills telling it again. I
(06:13):
do like a happy story, but that doesn't give me chill.
She told the reporter that when she first saw him
trapped under a car, that she was instantly attracted to him,
even though he was lying there bleeding, and she did
give the She said, I did check his hand just
to see if there was a wedding ring, and there wasn't.
They got married back on October eleventh, and they went
(06:35):
back to that same crosswalk to take their wedding pictures.
I just love it so much.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I like that we're doing this good news? Can I
say you? Can I sprinkle a little good news in
real quick for you, billy? Yet? I got one that's
custom selected, curated for you, if you will. Uh huh.
American ranchers are gradually entertaining the idea of using virtual
fence systems, the same kind used for dogs, to graze
more cattle over a wider space without the cost and
(07:03):
the hassle of continuous fence upkeep. Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
What this would mean is very soon we'll have more cattle,
grass fed cattle out on a giant field.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, that'll be more affordable. Who came up with this idea? Uh? What?
Taking the fences down and putting electric fences up? Is
this something to come up with in Canada or something
was in America? Really? Yeah? I think whoever came up
with this idea forgot what half of the fence's job
is that, Well, the fence has two jobs. Okay, keep
stuff out, keep stuffing, keep the cows in, keep the
(07:35):
other stuff out. Some of that stuff could be predators,
could be humans, could be a lot of things. You
take the fence down and the cow still can't wander off.
That doesn't mean, uh, the stuff that might come in.
They're not gonna have a little chips, the little electronic
things that are gonna go off, and what is gonna
shock the cow if it gets too close to where
the invisible fence is. That's kind of the idea. It's
(07:56):
not gonna keep anybody out, though, is it. Okay?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I appreciate that you and imediately had that retort, But
what if I told you he was retorted your response
bill yet that. I don't know, Like, what if we
get some guy out there the sniper rifle or some
dogs or something. You're thinking, yeah, okay, well here's one more.
You didn't like that, maybe you'll like that. This one
an eighty year old woman from Michigan named Betty Kellenberger.
(08:19):
There's not a lot of Betties anymore?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Is there a lot of Kellenberger's around either. Betty Kellenberger
just became the oldest woman to hike the entire Appalachian Trail,
more than two thousand miles from Georgia to Maine. She
did it all after having her knee replaced. Wait, she
went from Georgia to Maine on the appalach Trail. Well,
that's silly, and even if you're young, you should go downhill.
(08:41):
You should start at the top and work your way down. No, Bill, yet,
it's not that way. You know, you got gravity and
everything helping you. Bill. Yeah, that's not how it works.
Going south doesn't mean you're going down. Oh, don't say
going south that makes everybody think things are bad. No,
that's what The direction she was moving in was south, Billy.
Not if she went from Georgia to Maine. Well, that's north.
(09:04):
Let me let me draw you a picture. Here. Okay,
here's the country.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
You're confusing me and your explanation. I was saying that
going down wouldn't George is here. I get that that's
up north.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
That is that is a that to climb to go
north and go south, and it'd be easier. Yeah, but
you're the one. No, all right, here's here's Battie to
tell you about our hike.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
You see, incredible parts of our country, things that you
wouldn't see otherwise, so much wildlife.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
It's just it's gorgeous. During the day, you dream of food,
and you dream of what can I get out of
this pack? What can make it lighter? Because it's got
to go up every mountain and it's got to come
down every mountain. You have to plant your feet, look
at the view, and then move forward. Every step you
have to be focused.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
This life is a journey, and it may be a
series of little journeys, or maybe just the whole life
is a journey, and the bigger efforts, the regular reward.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
She sounds younger than eighty does love that what can
I get out of this bag? Because it's heavy. The
longer you walk with it, the more you wish you
hadn't brought it. I like Betty. Betty seems like a
cool chick to me. You want to hit there? I mean,
you know, I'm like, I don't want to, but just
out of Curtis Well, she asked me to, you know,
as a courtesy. I wouldn't want to be rude. Yeah,
(10:16):
to an old lady. I wouldn't say no to her.
I got robbed by a sweet old lady on a
motorized cart, didn't even see it come the Walton Johnson.
This is Nickelback.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Last night at the gym, we were all lifting weights
and we were playing that game if you're stuck on
a deserted island and you can only bring one album,
and one of my buddies, Bob said Nickelback. He like Nickelback.
And then I they asked me what I would bring.
I said nine inch Nails, and my friend Chaos was there.
She said will Co that popular jam band from Chicago.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
And then the metal head in the room, this guy,
We said, who would you bring? And he goes cattle carcass.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Wow, this is so cool, And just like that the
game ended. Nobody knew who that was. Do you have
any more stories from the gym? Sure? Yeah, yeah. Do
you want to hear more? Oh? No, I was hoping
you'd say no, that was it. No, I have a
lot more. Oh that's too bad. Luckily you have your
afternoon show later today. Well, I bet you'll tell all
of them. Then, Well, what would you bring, Billy and
you're stuck on in a banded island? What album do
(11:13):
you bring with? What band? You think? I'mmost sit around
in a gym lifting lage with a bunch of guys
who were talking about what band are going to listen
to on an island when they're on vacation or something gay.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I'm not sure you understand what we're doing here. This
is Mark Rippetto's starting strength. We're lifting bar bells. There's
nothing gay about it. It's a bunch of sweaty men
in a small type space pushing on a bar.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Gayest thing about it, I think is the conversations you
keep telling me you have while you're trying to bulk up.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
What's gay about a bunch of muscly, sweaty men crushing
steel together?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Thank you? See No, you're right, Billy had He just
made it gay. Thanks a lot, by.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
The way, I just I'd love this story so much
because it's just so full of hate. Joan Bias, a
very very old mid eighties singer, had some hits back
in the I mean before I was born. John Byas
has announced that she is going to pull all over
music and all collaborations from Amazon because Jeff Bezos has
(12:16):
aligned himself with Donald Trump and she can't stand it.
This is her quote. You support Trump, then you support
hate and I can't be a part of that. What
what does she feel? What are her feelings towards Donald Trump?
That he's hitler? Probably what would you small? Shorter words? Shorter,
(12:38):
shorter than that racist? How does she feel about Trump? Hey,
she hates Trump? She said, you support Trump, you support hate,
and I can't be a part of that. All these
people let say Trump is a hater, hate Trump. And
this is that chick who's saying I love rock and roll. No, no,
this was Joan Bayez. That's just a jet different. But anyway,
(13:02):
Oh what if God was one of us? I remember?
Never mind, h that was a good song. Yeah, they
don't see the irony, like the Democrats are famous now
their new plan to bring men into the fold, to
bring men back because men are leaving the Democrat Party.
A white guy with a Nazi tattoo. They said, no
(13:26):
violence and rough language, badly salt, cursing, And you'll notice
a lot more of them are doing like a Joelanda
Jones kind of thing, threatening violence on people, saying the
F word and the the president and all this kind
of stuff. This is the party who hates gun violence,
hates the death penalty, but applauds the Charlie Kirk assassination.
(13:48):
These are the people that are telling you act one
way while they act another way. And it's just so
annoying but also humorous that they don't see the fact
that it's just so silly. Well, if you think that's stupid, way,
do you hear what they're doing at colleges. Hey everyone,
it's back to school time. Let's go back to school
(14:10):
with Kenny. And this report's brought to you by our
good friends over at the Walton Johnson store. I know
some of those guys that worked there at the store.
You'd like them, dude. We have so much great merch
just in time for the holidays. Get ready, stock your stockings. Stock,
stuff your stockings with. Stuff it with great Walton and
Johnson merchandise. Go to I LOVEWJ dot com today, I
(14:32):

the smartphone app. So much great stuff. Surets coffee mugs.
You wouldn't believe it. All Right, So you're going to college.
You're at Harvard University, very expensive college, eighty six thousand
dollars per year to get an education. Guess what you
could study?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Ivy League, Sex Studies, Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies includes
classes like Black Religion and sexual Sexuality, Real politics and feminism,
and arts and science.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
So there's something called Black religion. That's correct, Black Religion
and Sexuality. That's a class you could take, and it's
about that thing. It's part of the feminist and queer
theory department. I'm unfamiliar with a specific Black religion or
they're trying to say, like voodoo or something because it's
black is like evil because I know Black people that
(15:22):
are Catholic, believe it or not. Yeah, I know Blackerians
that are Baptists and some of them are even Protestants. Wow,
how about that? Yeah? And some of them Muslim? Can
you can you deal with it?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I could deal with it. Yeah, all right, let's go
to Bowling Green State University. Tuition costs thirty three thousand
dollars per semester.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
When all you do is learn about Bowling No, that's
just the name of the school. And it's in Ohio.
And you could study Introduction to Pop Music, Television Studies,
Intersections of Race, gender and Culture and it only costs
you thirty three thousand dollars. And what do you do
with a job in pop culture exactly. Yeah, I'm still
trying to figure that one out. All right, here's a
(16:03):
good one.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
University of Connecticut, Yukon, very prestigious school. Campus Reform reports
the rise of furry clubs on campus is bringing in
classes like puppet arts. Class courses include toy theater, hand puppetry, puppetry,
and television.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Oh are they doing any of the penis puppetry? They are?
They do.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I love it And it only costs sixty two thousand
dollars per year.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Uh, how many years can I go? Oh?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
As many as you want, as many as your mom
and dad can afford. Arizona State University, Social Justice and
Racism is available. That's an actual thing you could study there.
You can get a BS degree in it.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Billy ed, I think I already have a degree in that.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
University of Colorado Boulder, famous for two things. Could you
Coach Prime and the scenery and the Queer and trans
theory studies only sixty eight thousand dollars per year?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Now, Coach Prime ain't the one teaching the class. No,
I don't think you brought him up. I didn't want
to confuse people.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
No, but some of the money from that those classes
is actual salary actually going towards his salary?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, yeah, John, what do you think of that? Don't
forget boys and girls to eat it every day.
Speaker 3 (17:11):

grass fed cattle out on a giant field.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, that'll be more affordable. Who came up with this idea? Uh? What?
Taking the fences down and putting electric fences up? Is
this something to come up with in Canada or something
was in America? Really? Yeah? I think whoever came up
with this idea forgot what half of the fence's job
is that, Well, the fence has two jobs. Okay, keep
stuff out, keep stuffing, keep the cows in, keep the
(07:35):
other stuff out. Some of that stuff could be predators,
could be humans, could be a lot of things. You
take the fence down and the cow still can't wander off.
That doesn't mean, uh, the stuff that might come in.
They're not gonna have a little chips, the little electronic
things that are gonna go off, and what is gonna
shock the cow if it gets too close to where
the invisible fence is. That's kind of the idea. It's
(07:56):
not gonna keep anybody out, though, is it. Okay?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I appreciate that you and imediately had that retort, But
what if I told you he was retorted your response
bill yet that. I don't know, Like, what if we
get some guy out there the sniper rifle or some
dogs or something. You're thinking, yeah, okay, well here's one more.
You didn't like that, maybe you'll like that. This one
an eighty year old woman from Michigan named Betty Kellenberger.
(08:19):
There's not a lot of Betties anymore?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Is there a lot of Kellenberger's around either. Betty Kellenberger
just became the oldest woman to hike the entire Appalachian Trail,
more than two thousand miles from Georgia to Maine. She
did it all after having her knee replaced. Wait, she
went from Georgia to Maine on the appalach Trail. Well,
that's silly, and even if you're young, you should go downhill.
(08:41):
You should start at the top and work your way down. No, Bill, yet,
it's not that way. You know, you got gravity and
everything helping you. Bill. Yeah, that's not how it works.
Going south doesn't mean you're going down. Oh, don't say
going south that makes everybody think things are bad. No,
that's what The direction she was moving in was south, Billy.
Not if she went from Georgia to Maine. Well, that's north.
(09:04):
Let me let me draw you a picture. Here. Okay,
here's the country.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
You're confusing me and your explanation. I was saying that
going down wouldn't George is here. I get that that's
up north.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
That is that is a that to climb to go
north and go south, and it'd be easier. Yeah, but
you're the one. No, all right, here's here's Battie to
tell you about our hike.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
You see, incredible parts of our country, things that you
wouldn't see otherwise, so much wildlife.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
It's just it's gorgeous. During the day, you dream of food,
and you dream of what can I get out of
this pack? What can make it lighter? Because it's got
to go up every mountain and it's got to come
down every mountain. You have to plant your feet, look
at the view, and then move forward. Every step you
have to be focused.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
This life is a journey, and it may be a
series of little journeys, or maybe just the whole life
is a journey, and the bigger efforts, the regular reward.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
She sounds younger than eighty does love that what can
I get out of this bag? Because it's heavy. The
longer you walk with it, the more you wish you
hadn't brought it. I like Betty. Betty seems like a
cool chick to me. You want to hit there? I mean,
you know, I'm like, I don't want to, but just
out of Curtis Well, she asked me to, you know,
as a courtesy. I wouldn't want to be rude. Yeah,
(10:16):
to an old lady. I wouldn't say no to her.
I got robbed by a sweet old lady on a
motorized cart, didn't even see it come the Walton Johnson.
This is Nickelback.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Last night at the gym, we were all lifting weights
and we were playing that game if you're stuck on
a deserted island and you can only bring one album,
and one of my buddies, Bob said Nickelback. He like Nickelback.
And then I they asked me what I would bring.
I said nine inch Nails, and my friend Chaos was there.
She said will Co that popular jam band from Chicago.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
And then the metal head in the room, this guy,
We said, who would you bring? And he goes cattle carcass.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Wow, this is so cool, And just like that the
game ended. Nobody knew who that was. Do you have
any more stories from the gym? Sure? Yeah, yeah. Do
you want to hear more? Oh? No, I was hoping
you'd say no, that was it. No, I have a
lot more. Oh that's too bad. Luckily you have your
afternoon show later today. Well, I bet you'll tell all
of them. Then, Well, what would you bring, Billy and
you're stuck on in a banded island? What album do
(11:13):
you bring with? What band? You think? I'mmost sit around
in a gym lifting lage with a bunch of guys
who were talking about what band are going to listen
to on an island when they're on vacation or something gay.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I'm not sure you understand what we're doing here. This
is Mark Rippetto's starting strength. We're lifting bar bells. There's
nothing gay about it. It's a bunch of sweaty men
in a small type space pushing on a bar.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Gayest thing about it, I think is the conversations you
keep telling me you have while you're trying to bulk up.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
What's gay about a bunch of muscly, sweaty men crushing
steel together?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Thank you? See No, you're right, Billy had He just
made it gay. Thanks a lot, by.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
The way, I just I'd love this story so much
because it's just so full of hate. Joan Bias, a
very very old mid eighties singer, had some hits back
in the I mean before I was born. John Byas
has announced that she is going to pull all over
music and all collaborations from Amazon because Jeff Bezos has
(12:16):
aligned himself with Donald Trump and she can't stand it.
This is her quote. You support Trump, then you support
hate and I can't be a part of that. What
what does she feel? What are her feelings towards Donald Trump?
That he's hitler? Probably what would you small? Shorter words? Shorter,
(12:38):
shorter than that racist? How does she feel about Trump? Hey,
she hates Trump? She said, you support Trump, you support hate,
and I can't be a part of that. All these
people let say Trump is a hater, hate Trump. And
this is that chick who's saying I love rock and roll. No, no,
this was Joan Bayez. That's just a jet different. But anyway,
(13:02):
Oh what if God was one of us? I remember?
Never mind, h that was a good song. Yeah, they
don't see the irony, like the Democrats are famous now
their new plan to bring men into the fold, to
bring men back because men are leaving the Democrat Party.
A white guy with a Nazi tattoo. They said, no
(13:26):
violence and rough language, badly salt, cursing, And you'll notice
a lot more of them are doing like a Joelanda
Jones kind of thing, threatening violence on people, saying the
F word and the the president and all this kind
of stuff. This is the party who hates gun violence,
hates the death penalty, but applauds the Charlie Kirk assassination.
(13:48):
These are the people that are telling you act one
way while they act another way. And it's just so
annoying but also humorous that they don't see the fact
that it's just so silly. Well, if you think that's stupid, way,
do you hear what they're doing at colleges. Hey everyone,
it's back to school time. Let's go back to school
(14:10):
with Kenny. And this report's brought to you by our
good friends over at the Walton Johnson store. I know

You're at Harvard University, very expensive college, eighty six thousand
dollars per year to get an education. Guess what you
could study?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Ivy League, Sex Studies, Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies includes
classes like Black Religion and sexual Sexuality, Real politics and feminism,
and arts and science.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
So there's something called Black religion. That's correct, Black Religion
and Sexuality. That's a class you could take, and it's
about that thing. It's part of the feminist and queer
theory department. I'm unfamiliar with a specific Black religion or
they're trying to say, like voodoo or something because it's
black is like evil because I know Black people that
(15:22):
are Catholic, believe it or not. Yeah, I know Blackerians
that are Baptists and some of them are even Protestants. Wow,
how about that? Yeah? And some of them Muslim? Can
you can you deal with it?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I could deal with it. Yeah, all right, let's go
to Bowling Green State University. Tuition costs thirty three thousand
dollars per semester.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
When all you do is learn about Bowling No, that's
just the name of the school. And it's in Ohio.
And you could study Introduction to Pop Music, Television Studies,
Intersections of Race, gender and Culture and it only costs
you thirty three thousand dollars. And what do you do
with a job in pop culture exactly. Yeah, I'm still
trying to figure that one out. All right, here's a
(16:03):
good one.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
University of Connecticut, Yukon, very prestigious school. Campus Reform reports
the rise of furry clubs on campus is bringing in
classes like puppet arts. Class courses include toy theater, hand puppetry, puppetry,
and television.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Oh are they doing any of the penis puppetry? They are?
They do.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I love it And it only costs sixty two thousand
dollars per year.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Uh, how many years can I go? Oh?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
As many as you want, as many as your mom
and dad can afford. Arizona State University, Social Justice and
Racism is available. That's an actual thing you could study there.
You can get a BS degree in it.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Billy ed, I think I already have a degree in that.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
University of Colorado Boulder, famous for two things. Could you
Coach Prime and the scenery and the Queer and trans
theory studies only sixty eight thousand dollars per year?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Now, Coach Prime ain't the one teaching the class. No,
I don't think you brought him up. I didn't want
to confuse people.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
No, but some of the money from that those classes
is actual salary actually going towards his salary?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, yeah, John, what do you think of that? Don't
forget boys and girls to eat it every day.
