Speaker 1 (00:00):
Some news.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I got some surprising news. This is gonna shock the world.
You ready to be shocked?
Speaker 1 (00:04):
Oh, I'm ready to shock the monkeys shove it in.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Yeah, no, the whole wide world gonna be shocked. The
hot gift this year it is cash.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Just give people money.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
It's cash, they said. Fifty eight percent of America say
they'd just rather get money than a gift or a
gift card. And a gift card is basically like cash,
except you have to just spend it on wherever you
got it from. Just money. Just give me money. And
I guess that means we'll all just sit around and
pass around money because I'm gonna get you something, and
(00:35):
you're gonna get me something. Now, Am I gonna get
you as much as you got me? I don't know.
Is a gift card a good presenter?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
No?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah, well, you know, at least it shows that you
know what that person's into. If you get them a
gift card for you know, sports sporting boards or a
hardware store, whatever, you're showing that you know what they like.
There is cash, expect that anywhere.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
My nephews are, you know, making requests and stuff, and
they say they like jerseys and golf and remote control cars.
And so I asked my cousin, what you know, what
size jersey do I get for an eight year old?
And he said, the truth is cash. He doesn't really know,
so just he may outgrow it. Probably everybody's gonna get
(01:21):
him a jersey. Why don't you just get him a
gift card? Right?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
And I thought, you know, it's fine with me because
it's easier.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
But isn't that kind of disappointing for an eight year
old to open up a gift card on Christmas?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Really is?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
It's not a lot of fun you want to play
with it? You can't play with a gift card. Hey,
good news. At a later date, you have to be
determined you may get something. Yeah, you'll get to pick
something out, which, let's face it, you know Mom and Dad,
socioeconomic status being what they are, you would have got
something anyway when we went to the store.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
But this time it's coming from Uncle Kenny. Yeah, yay.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Earlier this morning you mentioned that Faberge egg lady down
in what is it, New Zealand swallowed an expensive Faberge
egg and then you know, she thought she'd just deal
it by swallowing it and leaving the jewelry store croiky,
but they arrested her and then somebody had to go
on potty patrol for the next six days.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
What fresh howl?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Dude held on to that thing for six days. But
we were curious. How big is it? I found a
picture of it, and I'm assuming this is a gloved thumb,
oh man or finger.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
It looks like it looks it looks clean. It's tiny.
It's the size of a It's the size of your
finger now, like.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
The bottom of the last you know, inch or so
of your thumb, right, or your finger, the tip of
your finger, right, pretty small. Yeah, good for them for
wearing gloves though, But the detail you didn't explain that
I thought was so interesting. The change.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, the chain chain.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I wonder did it did it come out first and
then the chain was it or did the chain start,
you know, coming out first and then they just yanked
on it?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Well? What, right, what happens? What if the chain gets
caught on something in there? Right? Boy? That is gross
to the extreme.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
It was a fourteen thousand dollar egg and what was it?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
A James Bond themed matter j egg?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Wow, what a bizarre news story.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
It's crazy equally as bizarre today as the story of
the January fifth pipe bomb suspect Brian Cole.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
He confessed to authorities, suppose.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
That white man, Yeah, that's that white man that did
all that. No, he's a black guy. Well, on the
newsday side, he was white. So I'm gonna go ahead
and say he was white. I'm gonna agree with the
newsman who who who was on CEA.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Look, I don't care what color he is, but I'm
looking at the suspect right now.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
He's not just black. He is dark black.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I mean this guy he like real black. He makes
Samuel L. Jackson look like an albino. I mean this
guy is this guy is black?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
According to MSNBC, now referred to as ms NOW, he
was a Trump supporter and an anarchist. How can he
be a Trump supporter and an anarchist, Well, according to
his grandma, he wasn't no Trump support. See the newspeople
want you to think he a Trump supporter. He wants
you to think he a Trump supporter.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Now, if he go out and do something crazy like
slick stick a bunch of bombs out in the ground,
and then he comes get caught and he goes, I
love me some Trump right away. You know he's not
a Trump supporter. He's just the opposite because he tried
to put stink on Trump by putting stink on himself
as a Trump supporter. His grandma me Moll said hegnif
(04:25):
said nothing about Trump. He didn't give to no campaigns,
he never voted, He had no affiliation for politician at all.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Not only do I not believe he was a Trump supporter,
I also don't believe he's the guy.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
You do believe his mom Mammal though, right.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Sure, I think she's right because she has no horse
in this race. But the Blaze media last month reported
that a totally different person who's now a CIA agent
was the most likely suspect.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
That sounds about right.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
The FBI comes out and goes, no, that's not true.
Then after five years suddenly they have a suspect. Boy,
the timing on that's a little suspicious.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Well, remember for the first four years they weren't really trying,
not even a little bit. Those were Biden eras.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
But why wouldn't they want to look?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Why wouldn't why wouldn't a Democrat administration want to find
the guy that put the pipe ons. Uh if they
had a flipping January sixth committee, uh huh.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Now, if they weren't.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Looking, that's as suspicious as the timing of this the
whole thing, reeks. If something doesn't make sense, there's a
reason why it's not true. Suspicions exist anytime you look
at a news story and you tell yourself, huh. Jesse
Smallett was walking around at two in the morning during
polar vortex and there were white supremacists wearing Maga hats
out in downtown Chicago during a winter storm, a record
(05:41):
record breaking low temperatures, and they recognized him a supporting
gay black character on a TV show that's popular with
black people.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Why would they even know who he was?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Not a reason in the world too? Nobody nobody did.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
They're like, you were that empire f word. Yeah, how
would you know that?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Actually, Maga Trump white supremacy supporter.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
No, if something doesn't make sense, empire right, exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
If it doesn't make sense, it's not true.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
This is cute. Chris email from Shreveport a while back
that I'm reading a book called The Target by David Baldacci.
You familiar as.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
No, I've never read it, but I've heard of it?
What about it?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
In part of the book they focus on North Korea,
and every time they mention, I cannot read it without
hearing Kinney's voice in my head screaming, Kangong.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Look, you don't want to be a racist? Right?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
We learn We learned this because of the Latina Hispanic
female TV news anchors. If you're going to say a
Spanish word during a TV news broadcast, you have to
change your entire not only the accent in your voice,
but your whole personality has to change, or you're a racist.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
There's no other option you. I know I don't like
it either, but the a the rules.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Kids, I'm hearing from some people I know that usually
know stuff. Taylor Swift is planning on boycotting all shows
in Houston, Texas for probably forever, after the rude treatment
that her boy fiance h and his his his his teammates,
(07:24):
the fellas that he plays with, where they were just
treated horribly by the Texans last night. And Taylor she
she not wanted to take it, you know lightly, she
she says, to hell with Houston, true Houston, y'all can't
come to my shows?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Just like that. Well that's a blessing. Now there's too
reasons to like C J.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Stroud. Yeah, good for him, fantastic name.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I say, the whole team, you know, they just they
played they I thought last night. I don't know if
y'all stayed up in Washington U Now in the second half,
I will say, do you the Chiefs defense just went
all swarmy. But I know they couldn't they couldn't keep
it up. They tired themselves out. Maybe a little ropodope
was happening, I know, but uh first half all Texans,
(08:08):
third quarter pretty much all Chiefs, and the Texans came
storming back and uh AT won the game. So it's
pretty powerful stiff right there.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Yeah, it's four quarters, guys, that's how football works. You
could do good in the second quarter.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I mean, what are your coach? I never knew you
knew so much about football and you're willing to share
this information now?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah, I mean, look, any a man, why did.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
LSU have to rush go ahead?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Kitty?
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Well it's not too late. Look, I'm gonna be honest
with you. This is a little too important to me.
I don't know if I would give this up to
go coach LSU. They what they pay the last coach again.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Oh seems like a ninety to one hundred million.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Oh yeah, I'd quit this in a hard poor dead.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Stay tuned for more. Waltman Johnson.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
How bizarre that all these stories kind of intertwined themselves
on the same day, dine Bag, Daryl john One and
I forget why Shenead O'Connor came up, it's your birthday.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Well, yeah, it's a birthday, but you know she's been
dead a couple of years, like well Lenen and Dinbag,
So that's mother death.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, I know, but it's been a while, sure has Well,
it's still sadly over it. I don't know about to
rest y'all, but I get over stuff pretty quick. I
guess what if I told you George Strait just passed away,
that'd be tough, man, that'd be sad. It wouldn't be
as upset and as Willy. Okay, well that's you know
that day's coming.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
If if I live long enough and Willy doesn't, then
I'm gonna have to deal with it.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Well, for the record, they're both still alive. So yeah,
for as we know now, nobody's checked in on him.
Yet this morning. Huh, I think they're alive. Yeah, that's uh.
What wasn't George straight was with Trump over the weekend? Right,
it seems unlikely to die. We just saw him a
Kennedy Center arms right, exactly. Yeah, And there.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Were some people there that looked kind of like kiss
and and kind of like Sylvester st Alone. But they
just butcher their faces up over the years, trying to
remain somewhat young.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
You know, just because you can get all that plastic
surgery doesn't mean you should.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, and the two pays or well Sylvesters anyway, you know,
they're starting to look a little too obvious.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
I just found the SoundBite I didn't know we had
a SoundBite to Shirley Manson and Talk the lead singer
of Garbage.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
No relation, oh, the one that don't like basketballs.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Yeah, no relation to Marylyn or Charles beach Balls, Yeah,
beach balls performing in an outdoor show in Australia and
singer Shirley Manson stopped the show to go off on
a guy with a beach ball.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Okay, with your big beach ball. I'm so scared of you,
so thrilled by you. What a ruche bag? Okay, Lisle
makes me want to big people to go over there
and punch you in the face.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Shoes.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
It's disrespectful a musician's loud enough of game take hopefully.
I'm a fanom of fight to play for doucee bags
like you your mental man and a ridiculous hot I
literally want to fast people to put you in the face.
Everybody go and tack that guy. Yeah, beat him to
(11:11):
a poll because the singer on stage said so okay.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
According to the report, the crowd thought it was funny
at first, but then when she suggested violence against him,
the crowd turned on her.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
How does she know that he's the one who even
brought the dang beach ball to the concert in the
first play. Once they bat it up in the air,
everybody's going for it. You don't know the last guy
hit it wasn't necessarily the guy that brought it.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
And also like, why are you mad at your audience
for having a good time? It's just a beach ball, Lady,
calm down. At their next show, many showed up with
beach balls and huge pool floats to protest her comments.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Oh people are fun, aren't they?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Do you know who the.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Ban get that big blow up swan for the rule
to bring it in.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Do you know who Banks he is?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Of course he's a famous artist, and some people don't
know who he is or that he's he's mysterious because
he's a famous artist. Well, he's anonymous in real life.
Supposedly he's DJ three D from an electronic music group
called Massive Attack, but that's besides the point. There's a
rock band in England that's very popular right now that
was performing at the Glastonbury Festival last year.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
The band is called Idols. Banks.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
He shows up with a giant inflatable boat, the kind
that refugees travel on, and he filled it with people
that looked like Palestinians, and he picked it up and
he pushed it into the crowd like it was crowdsurfers.
The media loved it, the audience loved it. They all
forget what you think about Palestine for a minute. People
thought this was a cool moment at a concert where
(12:41):
they were doing something like kind of silly but political
at the same time. Fast forward a year and a
half ish and someone has a flipping beach ball at
a Garbage concert and Shirley Manson's calling for violence against
her own fans. Sure did, lady, calm down? Oh that
doesn't work, does it.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Well? I was told that it did, and now you're
told me that it don't. Does anything really work? Who
told you it worked? You know?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I said it didn't work.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I said, well, three weeks ago you said just try
to say and calm down, that'll work. And that did not.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
It did not see I remember saying it, but I
don't remember saying that it works for sure.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
He said try it, I think was your message?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
All right.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
According to a new report, twenty seven percent of people
admit to stealing from self checkout. And that's interesting because
I would have thought it would be more like thirteen
percent of people.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Really, I just did a race, and don't.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Laugh at that. That's not funny, ya, that is. I
only told that joke to see if anyone would laugh.
So I know you guys were racist.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Was it a joke? Yeah? Yes, okay.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
And wealthy people with the household income of one hundred
thousand dollars or more are more likely to admit to
it than people making moss money. What does that mean?
Just they can afford to hire a lawyer. They're like, yeah, yeah,
I stole a bottle of wine at the Sam's Club. Sorry, yeah,
Or do they really prosecute you? I mean, how hard
is it to prosecute somebody You say, Okay, I had
eight items at the store and I.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Went boop bop broop, and then one of them didn't boop.
It just went by and you didn't necessarily mean to
steal it. It's just that their machinery didn't work properly.
So if you had to go to quurt over that,
it seems like a long process that would cost a
lot of money to keep. You know, somebody saved forty
(14:25):
cents on an item or something.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
And what this really tells us is, even though they
know people are stealing from the self, checkout the amount
of money they're paying. They're saving by not paying a
person to stand, there is still more money than what
they're losing from theft. Plus they can write that off
if they know what the theft is, So what do
they care they don't. It's sad what a dystopian look
(14:49):
into the future of basic low income jobs. You could
be we'd rather people just steal from us than pay
someone to do the job.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah, that's nice, not good.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
You know, the News.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
A forty six year old guy in Ohio got a
rested after he went to the drive through at his
local bank and deposited drugs by mistake.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
WHOA, I am shocked they still have drive throughs in Ohio.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yeah, he was seeing the nomadic tube system and oh
I used to love.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Those things, man, but they did away with all those.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Around here, we've got them. Where's you drive through? Well,
there's one down the street from here at the bank.
I've seen that, right. I don't use it, but i've
seen it.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Ever drive through I ever used to use nearby, just
all closed up and it's a perfectly good space, you know.
Now it's just an empty parking lot with it looks
like a ghost town of bank tubes.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
I always just feel like it's easier to use the
ATM because then I don't have to wait for someone
to come to the window. I don't really, it's just
faster the tube and the person standing there. Well, to
the point we were just making it's easier to just
deal with the machine alone.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Internet banking is the way to go. If you're not
doing internet banking now, then I don't even know why
you're living in this twenty first century of others.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Yeah, but don't as a man, don't you like to
just have a little cash on you in case you
need a tip someone or pay for this or that.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
You don't want to put it on your card.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
You buy food from a mysterious food truck owned by
a foreigner, and you don't want to give them your
credit card number.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Not that I'm racist, but that did a card.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Remember that earthquake we talked about this morning early has
a big old seven point oh Alaska Alaska Canadian border
h japp has has just had to outdo us, you
know how these Japanese are. They had to outdo us
with their little earthquake situation, and so they had seven
(16:36):
point six magnitude off the coast of Japan. They said,
expect some pretty big waves. I don't know if they're
you know which way they're going the waves come towards
the earthquake or away from the earthquake or how that works.
But that's what they got going.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
On over there. Sorry, are they tasty waves or tasty waves? Bud? Well,
If they're tasty waves, that's all that really matters.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
There's a video of somebody's car shaking back and forth
during the earthquakes, but you don't see stuff falling off
of the buildings there because they build them to withstand earthquakes.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Well, some people might want to live in the country,
some people might want to live in the city. But
