[SPEAKER_04]: It's a podcast, but I want to fight with you.
[SPEAKER_02]: We have today.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the Michael Mera Show with Michael Mera and Rob Spiewack.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, here's my...
[SPEAKER_06]: little crazy at the beginning there a lot of sipping and burping and it was uh i know where it's coming from uh it's coming from Miami florida ladies and gentlemen but uh yeah we'll uh we'll get to that noises to a second what's that it's a very noisy shit it is my it is and i'm you know i'm down in South Beach as you know you might turn your mic down just to touch if you can i don't know that's possible just a little bit kind of picking up everything especially during the intro
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I mean, if you want to, I will do a real quick replay.
[SPEAKER_07]: I saw that my mic was muted.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm sorry that you heard that.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, you did.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, it was muted for the countdown.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, but not to you guys.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, it was.
[SPEAKER_08]: But all your noises were during the show music.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, I see.
[SPEAKER_08]: I see what you mean.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: My apologies, Wes.
[SPEAKER_06]: Welcome to the Michael Marisho.
[SPEAKER_06]: We are delighted to have you here with us in the great tradition of me sending last minute tapes to a judge.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't care if this is AI at all.
[SPEAKER_06]: Could care less because I have a favorite animal.
[SPEAKER_06]: that I may share for the rest of my life anytime I see it.
[SPEAKER_06]: I might bring this to you.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is the bird against the dogs and let's let's do a pallet cleanser after after we start.
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's get it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's get to show on the road.
[SPEAKER_06]: Shall we?
[SPEAKER_06]: Here we go.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right, once again, I always ask the same question to both of you guys.
[SPEAKER_06]: Reeler AI, what do you think?
[SPEAKER_06]: They're kind of perfect.
[SPEAKER_06]: Almost two-perfect, you know?
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm, can you guys hear me?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Because I cannot hear you.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I'm going to go and come back.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
[SPEAKER_08]: With war, is it because I changed layoffs that we lost them?
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_08]: I wonder if we need to just stay over here.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, we can watch this guy, you know?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, and you're the person I would ask you though, I mean, perfectly framed center shot.
[SPEAKER_06]: I would imagine a difficult to do with AI.
[SPEAKER_06]: I would think.
[SPEAKER_08]: So it looks, it looks real to me.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's good.
[SPEAKER_08]: Question in, I end up questioning if it's real, because I can't understand someone owned in that many dogs.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: So that there's me off.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, you have to do and Florida is drive three miles.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now find out that that happens a lot.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's the way that goes right now.
[SPEAKER_08]: Now I say real, but at the same time yesterday, I saw the best AI I have ever seen.
[SPEAKER_08]: You saw the best AI?
[SPEAKER_06]: OK.
[SPEAKER_08]: I was in this.
[SPEAKER_08]: Have you seen this fight going around on the internet of it's completely made by AI of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise?
[SPEAKER_06]: No.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, that sounds great.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, let me play it for you.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is awesome.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'd like to say this.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is 100%.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is 100%.
[SPEAKER_08]: And if I was a movie maker, I would be excited about the possibility and concerned if I'm an actor.
[SPEAKER_06]: OK. All right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Because they can do anything with you.
[SPEAKER_01]: Kill Jeffrey Epstein, you animal!
[SPEAKER_01]: He was a good man!
[SPEAKER_01]: He knew too much about our rush operations.
[SPEAKER_01]: He had to die, and now you die, too.
[SPEAKER_07]: Wow, might as well be real.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, turn your mic down a little bit.
[SPEAKER_06]: Rob, if you can, it's just a little destroyed.
[SPEAKER_07]: That looks, that looks even more real than the movie.
[SPEAKER_07]: The fix is actually a real movie.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I mean, I don't look better than real movies.
[SPEAKER_06]: I will say that I've grown accustomed to it now of questioning everything I see.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think I'm throwing it out the window as far as content on this show, if it's fake, it's fake, if it makes me laugh, it makes me laugh.
[SPEAKER_06]: Regardless, that's the way it goes with the AI.
[SPEAKER_06]: I want to get right to my first update because we've had a major change in the Omera household, and I am delighted to say we are now welcomed back into the bosom.
[SPEAKER_06]: of the Subaru family ladies and gentlemen.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you very much.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know what they say about Subaru's might.
[SPEAKER_06]: What's that?
[SPEAKER_07]: They have a low center of gravity.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're almost impossible to flip.
[SPEAKER_08]: But you did it.
[SPEAKER_07]: I did it.
[SPEAKER_07]: But it's very worth it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Are you going to share which model?
[SPEAKER_08]: Foraster.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, that's what my mom tried.
[SPEAKER_08]: Foraster.
[SPEAKER_08]: Hi, Brida.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, that's a really old lady car and kind of modernizing it.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, do you say excuse me, excuse me?
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yeah, do you say old lady car?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, sure.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is my wife's, this is I had talked about the British, the British important was a total and utter disaster.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was worth it as far as I was currently.
[SPEAKER_07]: Even when he's flying though, Mike isn't technically Karla your old lady.
[SPEAKER_06]: My old lady.
[SPEAKER_06]: My old lady is not the one I'm in.
[SPEAKER_06]: And by the way, if you were in Naples, Florida and you happen to walk by the dealership and you look through the window, you have seen two
[SPEAKER_06]: uh... by their shoes signing the documents that uh... that would be indicative of the uh... state that we were in uh... when we uh... when we had to uh... make this a deal did he prove to us uh... hi-brew will save a lot of money on cash for the bulletin broids thank you that's really good i would not have known that unless you pointed that out to me that's not di and a ross to the song i think in the early eighties it was called upside down
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, and it's very, it's a wonderful song.
[SPEAKER_06]: We, uh, I tell you, it's just, uh, what's coming?
[SPEAKER_06]: Huh?
[SPEAKER_06]: What color?
[SPEAKER_06]: Paisley.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, you're lying.
[SPEAKER_06]: They don't have patterned color.
[SPEAKER_06]: But, but you see, the thing is, someone's favorite color.
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, it's been free here.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, it's white.
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, no, no, no, she needs a red car.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, I target red.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[SPEAKER_06]: God, I hope she isn't buying this one up.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's a bad.
[SPEAKER_06]: That just was a bad luck vehicle.
[SPEAKER_06]: That was a bad.
[SPEAKER_06]: Everyone's had one.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it was just a, at a point where, um, when she called me a couple of weeks back, two, three weeks back, and we had to get the new battery and the alternator put in the thing.
[SPEAKER_06]: And she had mentioned that she was in a left-hand turn lane, just completely stopped.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's when I just said, and then, of course, the, looking their chops over at the after market repair shop.
[SPEAKER_06]: In fact, you know, I believe I've paid for another wing over there, but they can't, yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: It costs them to fix it like $40.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's how much it costs them to fix it, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: Because you, many thousands of dollars.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's
[SPEAKER_06]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, you do.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I've got a tape from, I believe, the sales manager, the business manager, the person that signs the paperwork.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Let me see how you can find.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, Mike, you criticize Rob for it, get your shit together and figure out how to run.
[SPEAKER_06]: I, someday, the technology will exist.
[SPEAKER_06]: where I won't have to labor over these screens that are just you know, I can use your family.
[SPEAKER_07]: That there is a new soundboard.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's a Subaru hybrid soundboard.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's really, it saves a lot of money on gas.
[SPEAKER_06]: And by the way, I'm sure now it's up on the, uh, the right, forget it.
[SPEAKER_06]: The joke is over.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not going to do it anymore.
[SPEAKER_06]: Why should I even bother, especially when I'm going,
[SPEAKER_06]: see Nazi see Nazi the eyes.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm in a little I'm in a little great.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know what I'm a little testy today.
[SPEAKER_06]: I really am.
[SPEAKER_06]: I get to that in a bonus show.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't want to talk with you about why I'm testing on this show, but I will handle it on the bonus show.
[SPEAKER_06]: So if you think about all right, that's money you'll save.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm delighted we are delighted it is a win it is a win in so far as I right before I was asked by color Carla to leave we made it to I have to sign off on stuff because my name was on the vehicle we had
[SPEAKER_07]: You haven't given her power of attorney yet.
[SPEAKER_06]: I haven't given her any power of attorney.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I had to bring the 4700 page.
[SPEAKER_06]: I called the Omerophiles, the great show, the pre-nup agreement that we have.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, I sign off.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then my job is done.
[SPEAKER_06]: I go to the business office.
[SPEAKER_06]: And at the business office at any card dealership as you know, that's where they make every effort possible to squeeze the last bit of money extra money that they can get out of you and I always have the distinct.
[SPEAKER_06]: Pleasure of going, no, no, no, oh, the intensity should be the more expensive the louder than no.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: No way.
[SPEAKER_06]: Absolutely not.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think so.
[SPEAKER_06]: Did they try to sell you on the Sylloget coding?
[SPEAKER_06]: They've tried to sell me on everything.
[SPEAKER_06]: One T, extra warranty, warranty for your balls, warranty, and then the last thing, because we were in that day on a raw state, you mentioned before, Rob.
[SPEAKER_07]: I saw it down.
[SPEAKER_06]: We bought gap insurance.
[SPEAKER_06]: We did buy that, which is a way to say.
[SPEAKER_07]: So, that covers like polo shirts and jeans.
[SPEAKER_06]: That covers if anything happens, the car, they're not only going to cover the cost of the car, but they will cover the cost of the loan.
[SPEAKER_06]: And that I rolled my upside down this into.
[SPEAKER_07]: And if I'm not mistaken, Gap Loans, they're really reasonable, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: Cheap super reasonable.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's why that's why they have to put it in the monthly cost of the car.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's all loans and insurance is helpful to the customer.
[SPEAKER_07]: Because you have the helpful sales manager who uses the phrase, don't worry, we'll build it in.
[SPEAKER_06]: That was never done because it was pretty straight forward.
[SPEAKER_08]: How many times did he step out of the office to go away?
[SPEAKER_06]: That never happened.
[SPEAKER_06]: The guy that sold us the car, square shooter.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, really not.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't have it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, no, I research and I don't, I don't linger.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know what mines worth and I know what theirs is worth and I know, you know, and when you're trading, something that, you know, is subject to a wide variety of offers, you know, what was that move that you just did.
[SPEAKER_06]: You settle down like I just, what was that?
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, I'm not a customer in the earth.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm not used to the in-ear things, and so if they move, I have to correct this.
[SPEAKER_06]: But it was like, I'd take them out and put them in and everything, go ahead, it doesn't matter you was like you, it was very, it was very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it
[SPEAKER_07]: So, I mean, the still were able to do this so getting to a superwood dealership or like crazy cars.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, dealership.
[SPEAKER_08]: No.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, dealership.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is a, I have, I had a, this is a used vehicle that I traded.
[SPEAKER_06]: I bought it used.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: And that I've taken a giant step backwards from that based on this experience.
[SPEAKER_06]: But it was no fuss, no fuss.
[SPEAKER_06]: But I don't care what the dealership is when you get into a business manager's office, they are required to try to squeeze the last bit of Mula out of you.
[SPEAKER_06]: And that's the way it works.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I was fine.
[SPEAKER_06]: And they're usually really cool with the answer no, you know?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: But they have to try.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, yeah, I did great buddy Rick song you got.
[SPEAKER_07]: I did I did diffuse the last time I bought a new car is I went in and this business manager the entire desk is like an iPad That's that's what this was also it's like four by five feet and he sits down and he says this and this and sign this and all this and I said you know what I hate your desk
[SPEAKER_07]: I hate your iPad day.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know you got to see it.
[SPEAKER_06]: You probably hated as much as I enjoy it.
[SPEAKER_06]: I like Why do you love it because it's a there's not a shuffling of papers all over the place That's why now they're probably was later, but I was asked by Carlisce you can
[SPEAKER_06]: And if she does it, well, the business manager, well, that's it.
[SPEAKER_06]: She said, that's it for you.
[SPEAKER_06]: And Kyle looked over me because I guess that.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now, Carla can be much more difficult than I can be.
[SPEAKER_06]: Much more difficult.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know about that.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then, she looks at me and says, okay, I'll see you back in a home.
[SPEAKER_06]: And that was my cue to beat feet and get on out of there.
[SPEAKER_06]: Get on the bus.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know what?
[SPEAKER_06]: And then it was a wait for her to get home and then put my kid up in a celebratory dinner at the at the local casual dining establishment.
[SPEAKER_06]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_07]: Because you saved so much money on gas that you could have a celebratory dinner.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I'm so sad.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's sometimes it's really, really sad.
[SPEAKER_06]: I might make
[SPEAKER_06]: My mind was racing, but the sad thing and the real psychoanalysis.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not doing this as a tease for the bonus show, but I'm sorry you have to have it.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is my preference to talk about it in the bonus show, among friends, that's what we do.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I will go into my deep psychoanalysis.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now, we're talking about something that was actually a pleasant experience because at the heart of this transaction
[SPEAKER_06]: My wife will never be stranded on the road again.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's a great feeling.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it is a great feeling.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know that they are, you know, I don't, I will never use the term for a car bullet proof again, because that was used by the Shester salesperson at the aftermarket repair shop.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I won't say that because the bullet proof that he mentioned was not bullet proof.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, it was a marshmallow good.
[SPEAKER_08]: It was not cool.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: You need to sky mall magazine.
[SPEAKER_07]: I love sky mall.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's great.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mike, do you need any inspirational quotes from Vincent, Marty and Brad's.
[SPEAKER_07]: They got it in the sky mall magazine.
[SPEAKER_06]: Sky mall magazine with Vince Lombardi.
[SPEAKER_07]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: And marshmallow good.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, the delight that I have now, and by the way, just an insight into the world of electric vehicles that indicated on multiple occasions when I was discussing electric vehicles, apparently not a real big seller at the Subaru dealership.
[SPEAKER_06]: Apparently there's a range issue with their particular model.
[SPEAKER_07]: I didn't realize they, I didn't know that they were pushing an electric car.
[SPEAKER_07]: I knew they had one.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, I don't familiar with the sole terror.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: So is that like a crossover?
[SPEAKER_07]: What does it look like?
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, they didn't have one on the lawn.
[SPEAKER_06]: They did because they don't have a lot of them around because you're selling that's kind of where they were.
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, but I'm happy to say that it's been uh, done, uh, positive review from, uh, Mrs. Romero, positive review from my son and a positive review by me because I love the idea of great gas mileage and, you know, and a little bit of tech.
[SPEAKER_06]: little more technology.
[SPEAKER_06]: And cars nowadays, so many of these cars that have the bells and whistles as standard equipment.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I think that's so much fun.
[SPEAKER_06]: Very, very exciting.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm very happy.
[SPEAKER_06]: I was so happy.
[SPEAKER_06]: I took my kid to the bus stop and I used the new car just for fun.
[SPEAKER_06]: Just for fun today.
[SPEAKER_07]: That is fun about that.
[SPEAKER_07]: Did they actually this might be a better question for Carla at the
[SPEAKER_07]: time to make an appointment to have a one-on-one teacher teach you all the features of the car.
[SPEAKER_06]: Took the guy, the guy, the dude came out, you know, it did it right at standing over Carl, I'm sitting in the bay, it did just be easy peasy.
[SPEAKER_06]: No problem at all.
[SPEAKER_07]: It was also give you a gas card if you do it.
[SPEAKER_07]: So, you know, it's, but that really wouldn't do you much good now, wouldn't.
[SPEAKER_06]: But I'm really, but that's it.
[SPEAKER_06]: So that's it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: Good bye.
[SPEAKER_06]: You sucked.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, I have to say that, you know, and by the way, if the car was respond to me and say, so why do you think I sucked?
[SPEAKER_06]: You sucked because your poorly, your engines are poorly manufactured.
[SPEAKER_06]: Then I'm slowly used.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'll be sorry to see you give.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, you won't.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, well, you tell that car that it was sorry when we kept their country from sinking into the ocean in 1940.
[SPEAKER_06]: Then Mrs. Romera came in with the sales guy and the sales guy got, well, we have a celebrity because he has the, she's got the sticker of the Michael Mery Show on the, and you know, when somebody says that and they have absolutely no idea who you are, you know, it's really, they might as well be saying FU.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: And that's, that's after a good week of, you know, being spotted and acknowledged.
[SPEAKER_06]: I had a guy at the Happy Valley that was in the parking
[SPEAKER_06]: What was the quote?
[SPEAKER_06]: He said, I was, well, I finally get to meet you.
[SPEAKER_06]: and he was a listener from Maryland and he went for his gun to get a throwing star through it right at my neck.
[SPEAKER_06]: And the lady that was saying that she goes to sleep with me every night, that's a two in one week.
[SPEAKER_06]: This one was just, you know, hey, he just he saw my name and show and assumed it was something and I, you know, and then I had to go through the, you know,
[SPEAKER_06]: And I had to go to the DDS explanation of what we do with John.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thanks for your politics.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: What does it you do?
[SPEAKER_06]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a volunteer.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: And people listen to this show.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_06]: I've got it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I answer the same way every time I say, not really, but anyway, it's a lot of fun and I'm very happy that it's done and then it was, you know, yes, and that was after a very depressing day watching highlights of the congressional hearings.
[SPEAKER_06]: with Attorney General Pam Bondi and Congressional Democrats just screaming at each other.
[SPEAKER_07]: I watched that yesterday.
[SPEAKER_07]: Why were all the Congressional people on skate?
[SPEAKER_07]: I skate.
[SPEAKER_07]: Why is it?
[SPEAKER_07]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_06]: We'll get to that.
[SPEAKER_06]: We will get to that because I have a very, very, the questions are multifold.
[SPEAKER_06]: But listen, I don't know if you could get anybody.
[SPEAKER_06]: that comes into a congressional hearing with more of a defensive attitude and a defiant attitude than anybody I've ever seen in government.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think this is history making it.
[SPEAKER_06]: There have been conflicts with people, but there's never been anything like somebody who's asked a question that's very provocative and then answers with an insult and brings an actual book.
[SPEAKER_06]: a dossier on congressional leaders with their conspiracies, problems, controversies, all in a book, so that she can hurl back and insult Prime Bondi.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, yeah, these things are never.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, she came in angrier and prepared to argue, like not prepared to actually have a real conversation, but prepared to argue.
[SPEAKER_08]: But these things are always a waste of time.
[SPEAKER_08]: I've never understood the, well, only answer this, yes or no.
[SPEAKER_06]: because they all do that because they all do that because they know she is going to a star and deflect and that's but they still but they spend the whole thing too and they're like they tell this they tell the drug job right no and she said she's in it
[SPEAKER_06]: And she's one of the nastiest women I've ever seen in my life.
[SPEAKER_06]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_06]: And she's like covering up a lot of nastiest stuff.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I hate it.
[SPEAKER_06]: But getting back to your point.
[SPEAKER_06]: First you cover up.
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, what's she's covering up the, uh, Epstein situation.
[SPEAKER_06]: I make sure with, uh, with your guy with your, with your, you're, you're, you're what of a 100% sure.
[SPEAKER_06]: How?
[SPEAKER_06]: Because I have read everything there is to know about it.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't want to turn it into facts news.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, I'm serious.
[SPEAKER_08]: Like, they keep saying, well, if something's there, then it's there.
[SPEAKER_08]: Like, you can.
[SPEAKER_06]: People argue that there's all this stuff there.
[SPEAKER_06]: But where does it think, why do they say that, Josh?
[SPEAKER_06]: Because you see the piece of paper that are all the same reason they say that.
[SPEAKER_08]: They're all redacted all of them.
[SPEAKER_08]: And then your side says, well, that black line means it's Trump.
[SPEAKER_08]: But your side.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, we don't.
[SPEAKER_06]: We don't.
[SPEAKER_06]: We don't have names.
[SPEAKER_06]: Why don't you just.
[SPEAKER_08]: And then it says Trump's name is in the Epstein reports 38,000 times.
[SPEAKER_08]: mostly by news articles, but they leave out the news articles part because he's been in Josh news.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's very divisive.
[SPEAKER_07]: You say, you're side.
[SPEAKER_07]: Can't we all just get?
[SPEAKER_06]: I say that to Josh.
[SPEAKER_06]: What happened to my camera?
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, that.
[SPEAKER_08]: It really wanted to show your gut.
[SPEAKER_08]: What happened?
[SPEAKER_08]: Just wanted to drop for a moment.
[SPEAKER_06]: What that was.
[SPEAKER_06]: Josh, we're going to get yelled at, you know, you're going to get yelled at.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm going to yell there.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, we're going to be everyone should
[SPEAKER_07]: prepared and ready to take their medicine, just like melcarmism.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right, now getting, let's go, there's nothing we will agree on about Pam Bondi.
[SPEAKER_06]: There's nothing.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's a hot, out of great person.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, come to me.
[SPEAKER_06]: I agree with all that.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I look, the fact is that on the front of any congressional hearing, we were forced.
[SPEAKER_06]: Remember years ago, with the Janet Jackson incident, and they brought all the broadcasting heads into Congress.
[SPEAKER_06]: And that was the very first time when we were on the receiving end.
[SPEAKER_06]: And when we say receiving end, it was our CEO, Mel Carmesan, wonderful human being.
[SPEAKER_06]: Really warm.
[SPEAKER_06]: Who was on the hot seat?
[SPEAKER_06]: And that was the first time in my life that I became aware of the fact that
[SPEAKER_06]: the format of congressional hearings is designed to allow congressional leaders to have their moment in the sun, to pontificate and to give their spiel.
[SPEAKER_06]: And that's just the way it is.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it's triggered and grandstanding is what it's all about.
[SPEAKER_06]: And we sat there and heard these guys lambasted and because it was attacking the industry, we were in, I got a real sense of that.
[SPEAKER_06]: you know, I really am.
[SPEAKER_06]: And look, besides your man, the allegations are multifold that she is covering up for donors and that there have been people prior to her who have covered up as well.
[SPEAKER_06]: However, her combat of nature and her really not using the situations with Melcarmazam
[SPEAKER_06]: If you're called in front of Congress, you eat the S sandwich.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, there's no way either way.
[SPEAKER_08]: So you just sit there quietly.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I mean, when you say no, if you're talking, if you're talking about, if you're talking about the no-win being, I'm not sure anything is accomplished by this accomplished.
[SPEAKER_06]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_06]: outside of PR on both of us, you know.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's why they have their five minute time and there's no structure where you'll get an immigration thing for five minutes.
[SPEAKER_08]: No question takes five minutes to ask and then you get another one about Epstein and another one about immigration.
[SPEAKER_08]: There's no even format.
[SPEAKER_06]: So, Bonnie the B was in front of Congress, and when she went in front of the Senate, she just had it already to counter these senators to find she was insulting, she laid all that, well, they got that book in Congress, and so she went before the congressional hearing, they used a strategy, and this was their strategy, and the strategy was, I reclaim my time.
[SPEAKER_06]: I reclaimed as soon as she would go off on one of the things they would string they would let her talk I thought it was a you know for somebody who was being defined before that was their little speel because Look I believe that that I agree that there is really not a lot that gets done from this and I also agree that When a person goes before the Congress that it's kind of the SM which they're there because they got in trouble So be interviewed by 60 minutes
[SPEAKER_06]: That's why you're there.
[SPEAKER_06]: You're there because you did something wrong or you're there to get yelled at.
[SPEAKER_06]: I really miss I miss that show 60 minutes.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, canceled.
[SPEAKER_08]: It is it's for the cameras because if they want really answers to any of these questions They'll all talk when the camera shut down I don't know you don't get them anymore, but it's reminiscent of the old days of the filibuster
[SPEAKER_07]: where you can just talk and talk and talk and they've got no check balance over you.
[SPEAKER_06]: As far as the Democrats are concerned, it is a, you know, Pam Bondi is spearheading the Justice Department with their investigations of political foes.
[SPEAKER_06]: As obvious as I would if you if you counted the investigations that have been
[SPEAKER_06]: and the investigations that have been pursued, it would be as obvious as the day and law.
[SPEAKER_06]: But as Josh says, they're not going to fix that in a congressional hearing.
[SPEAKER_06]: She's going to keep on keeping on until she's out and she ain't going to be out.
[SPEAKER_06]: Because the only way she'd be out is if the president kicked her out,
[SPEAKER_06]: and the president ain't going to kick her out because she's the best butt buddy of Donald Trump in the administration.
[SPEAKER_06]: She might be the number one do his bidding uh person that's in there.
[SPEAKER_06]: So Josh, you are correct when you say nothing gets done.
[SPEAKER_06]: Nothing gets done.
[SPEAKER_08]: Nothing gets done.
[SPEAKER_08]: Unretract every thing with those Epstein files and just let it all fall apart.
[SPEAKER_06]: I still think that I don't get it and they say, well, it's what's the word they used?
[SPEAKER_06]: Where it's repetitive?
[SPEAKER_06]: Where it's the same in for me.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, if that's the case, go ahead.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, that was set a bunch of times.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I think America in general wants to see everybody
[SPEAKER_06]: and wants to be.
[SPEAKER_06]: And by the way, they pointed out that people, some of these people in publicly traded companies have resigned because of this.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it's amazing how they have more accountability now than members of government.
[SPEAKER_06]: And that's stunning to me.
[SPEAKER_06]: And the fact is that the idea of grandstanding by bringing the victims in would normally, I would just leave it at that.
[SPEAKER_06]: But then you think about the fact that they were exposed, and the perpetrators were not exposed, and the women were exposed, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: It's like, come on, can we get this bizarre old world?
[SPEAKER_06]: And then she just stands up there.
[SPEAKER_06]: with her with her crusty mascara on and and doesn't and doesn't acknowledge and then goes to her book of insults that I found the whole thing.
[SPEAKER_06]: What did I write down here?
[SPEAKER_06]: Watching it is an exercise in complete uselessness.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_06]: I feel as somebody I don't although I derive a modicum of satisfaction as I'm sure Josh does when she punches back.
[SPEAKER_06]: I still don't think it does any good.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think it does any good at all.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then sucks.
[SPEAKER_08]: Now, and I had on the little YouTube where does the split screen of the four news channels go in it?
[SPEAKER_08]: And it's interesting, because then every news channel happens to take their breaks when it goes against their team.
[SPEAKER_06]: You really?
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, that's interesting.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, so I'm consuming everything almost online highlights.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now, I'm looking forward to baseball season when Michael and I in the morning will watch our baseball games.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, that's cool.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's kind of the way we're going to roll.
[SPEAKER_06]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_06]: And we'll just have to.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's you know yeah go ahead after all this goes on did bad bunny weigh in because I've worked to know oh I know he did but no one understood it oh okay that's a shame right sad I just feel as though I feel like this is a moment
[SPEAKER_06]: in our history that I, and I think that I'm with a lot of people that aren't necessarily doing it along political lines.
[SPEAKER_06]: We just want this to be over.
[SPEAKER_06]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_06]: We want, I don't know how you punch out of it.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know how it'll ever change.
[SPEAKER_06]: I really don't.
[SPEAKER_06]: But I just want it to be over.
[SPEAKER_06]: I want all of this to be over.
[SPEAKER_06]: I want some degree of, uh, uh, I hate the word unity because
[SPEAKER_06]: returned to the core of decorum.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I want it to be better.
[SPEAKER_06]: I want and I think both the people, you know, the moderates on the right and the moderates on the left want it to be better.
[SPEAKER_06]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm right now.
[SPEAKER_08]: But I also think that they want that decorum on their side.
[SPEAKER_08]: Were they want?
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, everything will calm down when I win.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, and I think that's part of the personal work.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it's part of the work.
[SPEAKER_06]: Never gonna, we have to, we have to grow up.
[SPEAKER_06]: I get back to, it's like when you're, everybody's been on a highway when you're passing a car.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: And the car is going say, you're on a highway that's got a speed limit of 70 miles per hour like we do on 75.
[SPEAKER_06]: And you are stuck behind that car, going 55.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then finally, you get a car passing you so you can move into the left lane.
[SPEAKER_06]: And as you begin to pass that car that's been comfortably going 55 when they were in front of you, the car suddenly surges up to 70 because it's not that they want to go that speed.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's that they just don't want you to win.
[SPEAKER_06]: We have probably all done it at one time or another.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's the human condition.
[SPEAKER_06]: It is the way it is.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I think in order to
[SPEAKER_06]: get by that, one has to gather one's wits and emotions and grow up and realize that you might hate the person, but you have to have a level of decorum and they use that word a lot in Congress and there it goes.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's just been eroding and eroding and eroding.
[SPEAKER_06]: And as I said, uselessness, I mean, do you think that the congressional leaders, the Democratic congressional leaders, leave that hearing feeling as though they have done anything other than maybe
[SPEAKER_06]: be a good spokesperson for their side.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think they're.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think they're, do you think should Pam Bondi's high-fiving people based on how she sat there and took the bullets?
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_06]: I have no idea.
[SPEAKER_07]: Pam Bondi's very proud of the insult she got off.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I bet she does high five about the fact that in her head, she probably made people look so it's And the politics I think what they're going to be seeing is not so much about how they look for their team.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's how they look for themselves and this is a very, I mean, this is this is the freeest political.
[SPEAKER_07]: big ad, they can get is to get up and spout all on.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, it was certainly on all the news stations.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was a new row.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, you're going to lack decorum if your basic motivation is selfishness.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_07]: And when they get up there and they do that, that's what it is.
[SPEAKER_08]: And then they'll send emails the next two days to with the clips of themselves on there to their donors for raising money.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, yeah, here's why the more money.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, and Josh, you might not want to hear this, but I think that when you're talking about the lack of class, lack of decorum, this is a New York City based
[SPEAKER_06]: rhythm.
[SPEAKER_06]: That, you know, how long it will be for my entire adult life.
[SPEAKER_06]: We've always said, people in New York, you know, don't be, don't ask anybody for that in New York.
[SPEAKER_06]: They wouldn't get, you know, we're tough, we're rude.
[SPEAKER_06]: We don't give you, and that's Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, Donald Trump is the quintessential New York guy, and that, and that whole, and by the way,
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm going to take it back to radio as well.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think that I personally was a New York kind of guy.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: So that's why in New York City, the local audience probably didn't resonate because of I just that kind of
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, take no prisoners.
[SPEAKER_06]: I hate you, you hate me, attitude, and I don't care what people think of me by saying that.
[SPEAKER_06]: I just want, I think everybody likes that.
[SPEAKER_06]: I will tease once again.
[SPEAKER_06]: This will be the last time I tease her.
[SPEAKER_06]: I will be discussing my own keeping it in my pants that I have to do.
[SPEAKER_06]: And you want to lash out and it requires discipline and I was very borderline and once the dust settles, once you calm down, once you're not having that fight, do you think anybody, do you think Pam, I'm sorry, I'm going to use Pam Bondi because the one that had the, well, you did this, will you do this?
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you think,
[SPEAKER_06]: that when you get off those insults, say it's in a personal relationship, you think you really like once the dust settles and you calm down, you think you reflect on that with a positive attitude?
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think you do.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think most people don't.
[SPEAKER_06]: I bet you'll see that
[SPEAKER_07]: I feel, you really think she'd, yeah, maybe she'd, because she's broken and you have to have something deep inside yourself to go up and start throwing insults in Congress.
[SPEAKER_07]: That is someone who is out to accomplish something that is not right.
[SPEAKER_07]: And she's going to think that she was a great success, because she was the first person.
[SPEAKER_06]: The given take between the Democratic congressional members and Pam Bondi.
[SPEAKER_06]: If you got two guys that are in a bar, having an exchange like that, 90% of the time it's going to result in somebody being pushed on their ass or somebody threw up much.
[SPEAKER_06]: And and guess what, that's not the normal way people communicate.
[SPEAKER_06]: Go to bars everywhere did I see bar fights I owned a bar I saw bar fights all the time.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's the way it normally is and it's an exception to the rule.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, you go into that hearing and that uselessness is the rule, not the exception.
[SPEAKER_07]: uh... damning things that i've ever seen in our in our history didn't you run into pambi on the at cloddy bondy on the forget me didn't be on the wild i tralliam was a district it was a district it has has taken the on the yeah didn't you want to uh... to bondy at the cloddy down town in dc
[SPEAKER_06]: You know what's interesting to me and I'll wrap it up with this.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, getting back to that whole New York vibe mindset.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, the mindset of, you know, I'll trash you.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm rude.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't care.
[SPEAKER_06]: I've seen it all blah, blah, blah We've all experienced that and I'm telling you that if you're gonna put it on an east coast thing.
[SPEAKER_06]: No
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a New York thing.
[SPEAKER_07]: It is absolutely New York thing.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Is there a Boston element?
[SPEAKER_06]: Is there Chicago element?
[SPEAKER_06]: Is there a city element?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: But New York is part of the pun ground zero for all of that crap.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I just can't stand it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Did you realize New York was that much of the epicenter until we started going up there regularly?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, because I grew up closer to New York.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: I spent more time in New York than you did.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it's just, uh, it is something where, you know, where do we go?
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's just, it's changed.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I know there's always been infighting.
[SPEAKER_06]: There's always been battling.
[SPEAKER_06]: There always has.
[SPEAKER_06]: But then there was that moment where the civility would be forced on the combatants.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: And now there doesn't seem to be,
[SPEAKER_06]: any decorum whatsoever, and we'll see what happens.
[SPEAKER_06]: And by the way, I feel that way in many, many areas in our pop culture as well.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think that exists too.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I think it's great.
[SPEAKER_06]: We have to take a break.
[SPEAKER_06]: We got news coming up here ladies and gentlemen and later on I want to talk about these Olympics that I have not seen one event.

[SPEAKER_06]: Hey, thank you very much, Rolando.
[SPEAKER_06]: Good guy.
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's not forget Rondo wanted us to say, let's not forget the Epstein emails go back three administrations.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you Rondo.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you for slides.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know that.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's always what we have.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, I forgot they did it too.
[SPEAKER_06]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_08]: That math work isn't that back to Trump.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is one.
[SPEAKER_08]: Let me say that by two.
[SPEAKER_08]: Trump was third.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: The math doesn't add up.
[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_07]: Hey, you know what I found out yesterday, what's that?
[SPEAKER_07]: Did you know Herbert Hoover outlived John F. Kennedy?
[SPEAKER_07]: Railard Hoover died in 1964.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, there's good reason for that.
[SPEAKER_07]: Was that?
[SPEAKER_06]: Anyway, let's let's move on.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's almost Valentine's Day here.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm going to burn them all right here.
[SPEAKER_06]: If you're single and hoping to fall head over heels in love by Saturday, that's probably a tall order, but it might be statistically more likely if you haven't felt that before.
[SPEAKER_06]: According to a study, the average American falls passionately in love just twice in their lifetime.
[SPEAKER_06]: And in my case, only once, like 14% of single adults 1 in 7 have never experienced passion in love at all.
[SPEAKER_06]: So they're do only 11% of people.
[SPEAKER_06]: Stay, they have experienced passion at love for or more times and men are more likely to experience it that women that surprises me.
[SPEAKER_06]: But that trend is only true among straight guys.
[SPEAKER_06]: Everyone else.
[SPEAKER_06]: every one else is similarly likely.
[SPEAKER_06]: The study included more than 100, I'm sorry, 10,000 people, between the ages of 18 and 99, 99, that's great.
[SPEAKER_06]: And when asked if they'd experienced that intense butterflies in the stomach love, about 30% said it happened with one person, another 30% said it happened twice.
[SPEAKER_06]: Those were by far the most common answers.
[SPEAKER_06]: Naturally, the numbers increased with age,
[SPEAKER_06]: It happens throughout life.
[SPEAKER_06]: The study didn't define passionate love, leaving it up to interpretation.
[SPEAKER_06]: But generally, it's that early relationship intensity, obsessively thinking about your partner intense longing when you're a part and heightened a rousal when you're together.
[SPEAKER_06]: I should point out that at dinner last night after the soft glow of the Subaru purchase was winding down, and I happened to mention the moment with Paulina Poroskova on the show.
[SPEAKER_06]: I have to do that.
[SPEAKER_06]: I looked at Cobra.
[SPEAKER_06]: She gave me the dead Cobra eyes on that one.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's unfortunate.
[SPEAKER_06]: I never was unfortunate, but it happened ladies.
[SPEAKER_07]: Did you look at the Subaru?
[SPEAKER_07]: Did you get butterflies in your house?
[SPEAKER_06]: Longing.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I must.
[SPEAKER_07]: Like increased arousal desire.
[SPEAKER_06]: In a speaking of Valentine's Day in a new poll, here we go.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's the last one I'll have for you.
[SPEAKER_06]: 82% of Americans say they believe that Valentine's Day is a trick.
[SPEAKER_06]: to make people spend more money.
[SPEAKER_06]: Look up Rob Spiewack in the dictionary.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's fixed.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's fixed.
[SPEAKER_07]: The whole thing is fixed.
[SPEAKER_06]: 40% of people admit to having a Valentine's Day budget.
[SPEAKER_06]: And 48% of people would not marry someone with bad budgeting habits.
[SPEAKER_06]: In fact, 60% say irresponsible spending is a bigger turnoff than bad breath.
[SPEAKER_06]: what do you think how would a carry feel about that right carry hates everything so it doesn't make any difference but she think that uh... spending badly and irresponsibly spending is worse than having bad breath do you think where do you think she'd line up on that well she hates the waste of money and i've seen her return so many gifts that given her
[SPEAKER_07]: because that's just what she I think that she would deal with bad breath before she would do a theorist possible spending.
[SPEAKER_06]: She would she would not like bad breath.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, she would take bad breath if I was a more responsible spender.
[SPEAKER_07]: But instead I'm a moron with kissing sweet breath.
[SPEAKER_06]: Even something that that's superficial.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's like literally doing an inquisition with them.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you notice that it really is.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's careful.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know why he's careful?
[SPEAKER_06]: Because he's worried.
[SPEAKER_06]: Because he's worried that she will gouge his eyes.
[SPEAKER_07]: It was a complicated question because you started out with valentines, and then it got into budgeting.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, Rob.
[SPEAKER_08]: We need a yes or no answer.
[SPEAKER_06]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're not reclaiming my time.
[SPEAKER_06]: Stop filibustering, Rob.
[SPEAKER_06]: The answer is yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: 27% of Americans don't expect their valentine.
[SPEAKER_06]: That was funny.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's been anybody on a gift.
[SPEAKER_06]: 26% expect something modest, definitely under $50.
[SPEAKER_06]: 35% they expect something a little more expensive between $50 and $100.
[SPEAKER_06]: And just 12% want their Valentine spending more than $100.
[SPEAKER_07]: Not one thin dime.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think you got a place car.
[SPEAKER_06]: Why, uh, so, uh, no early Valentine's present.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, you can put a heart on it.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's like Carl with a big red heart.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hey, potty mouth, stop it.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Norwegian by athlete.
[SPEAKER_06]: You remember we talked about him yesterday.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'll try to get the name right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Sterla home log read.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, the tour.
[SPEAKER_06]: Leg read.
[SPEAKER_06]: uh... he became a sensation not for winning a they did a bit on the daily show about him that was so funny uh... he became a sensation not for winning before admitting that he cheated on his girlfriend uh... well said love of sterless life that he apologized to him was uh... so contrite with that post race interview she has spoken
[SPEAKER_06]: although she's choosing to remain anonymous and sad to say, there's no happy Hollywood ending, at least not yet.
[SPEAKER_06]: She said, quote, it's hard to forgive even after a declaration of love in front of the whole world.
[SPEAKER_07]: Listen to me, Mike, this when she responded and especially since since she's anonymous, this is a setup we're being played because it's unreal enough that he would take his moment to apologize to the lady, but now he's building a story and he's controlling the narrative and this will be a lifetime moving everybody's that sophisticated that they are manipulating these things.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, not a lot of people are stupid and they won't try.
[SPEAKER_07]: But there are regions.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, the Norwegians are crafty, Mike.
[SPEAKER_07]: No watches watch.
[SPEAKER_07]: This will turn into some sort of movie.
[SPEAKER_06]: She says I did not choose to be put in this position and it hurts to have to be in it.
[SPEAKER_06]: We've had contact and he is aware of my opinions on this yesterday.
[SPEAKER_06]: Sterla, apologize to her and said I cannot change what has happened.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it's just a little bit of funny.
[SPEAKER_06]: We've been together six months, too, and as they said on the Daily Show last night, that's not long enough to fart in front of each other.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, basically right.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, I don't see when he cheated three months in.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right, exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, that's the half way mark.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think that's traditional in Norway.
[SPEAKER_06]: She says, I will now put this behind me and focus on the... No, Sterliss said that.
[SPEAKER_06]: I will now put it behind me and focus on the Olympic.
[SPEAKER_06]: I will not be answering any further questions.
[SPEAKER_06]: He also apologized for taking the spotlight away from his teammate, Yohan Olaf Button, Biotian, who apparently is like a prodigy, one of the best cross-country students.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's a prodigy, not screwing up his girlfriend.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's like a lot of people, even though it's anonymous, a lot of people have a theory who is girlfriend and is, and it's Vicki Lawrence.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, it's Paulina Poroscova.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, it's all so sexy.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's also a chance to get some sympathy in the Olympic village.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, you mean so we can bang in there too.
[SPEAKER_06]: You think that's where.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, she rejected me as he walks down.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, well.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, a rager.
[SPEAKER_06]: Grumpy old man, Gene Simmons, and by the way, I rarely skip a Gene Simmons story simply because it allows me to do the voice of Gene Simmons.
[SPEAKER_06]: Love Gene Simmons.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's full disclosure.
[SPEAKER_06]: He is still sore about rappers being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
[SPEAKER_06]: He says, quote,
[SPEAKER_05]: The fact that I am made is not in the hall when they can sell out stadiums, and grandmas the flashes, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: I skew when I had a back and forth about this, he's a bright guy, and I respect what he's done.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's right.
[SPEAKER_05]: He's right.
[SPEAKER_05]: I respect, well he's done, it's not my music.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't come from the ghetto, it doesn't speak my language.
[SPEAKER_05]: I just want to know when Lil Zeppelin is going to be in the hip-hop, all of them.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, you can't do that, or really?
[SPEAKER_05]: Music has labels because it describes an approach.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's off, he's way way off.
[SPEAKER_07]: And by the way, demons, Gene, I have a question.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, after the stick, I might agree with him.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think it's racist to say, you know, it depends on me rock and roll.
[SPEAKER_06]: If you're taking it like rock and roll, you got to be rock.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's just.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, it's a music format.
[SPEAKER_07]: But I think a lot of rap music has derived itself from rock music.
[SPEAKER_07]: Be it samples or the way that, you know, the themes of the contender.
[SPEAKER_07]: But I think that anyone who changed and first of all, you call it the rock and roll hall of fame.
[SPEAKER_07]: I've always more thought of it as like a pop music hall of fame.
[SPEAKER_08]: And that's the problem.
[SPEAKER_08]: They did that for the money.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I guess, but to my, to my estimation, it's fine.
[SPEAKER_07]: If they have been important in music, they should be in the all of them.
[SPEAKER_08]: These jeans Simmons and the hip hop Hall of Fame.
[SPEAKER_08]: Rob.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, he's not.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's not.
[SPEAKER_07]: But you know, when was Jackie Mason is?
[SPEAKER_05]: I just want to say that little slowly comes up.
[SPEAKER_05]: You want to be able to football.
[SPEAKER_05]: Of course, I've never been there.
[SPEAKER_05]: So you have to put him in the room.
[SPEAKER_05]: Hold the thing.
[SPEAKER_05]: What do we do?
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't drive.
[SPEAKER_07]: True answer to that is that Gene Simmons will never be in the hip hop hall of fame because he never derived any of his act from hip hop.
[SPEAKER_07]: But hip hop derived almost all of their music from rock and roll, which we stole from the African American community in the early 50s anyway, they're just claiming it back.
[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, you know, something Rob, you make a good point.
[SPEAKER_05]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_05]: I yielded like my time.
[SPEAKER_06]: Would you like a poem of chickens?
[SPEAKER_06]: Alright.
[SPEAKER_06]: I give you this story under the heading.
[SPEAKER_06]: or such robes.
[SPEAKER_06]: We are.
[SPEAKER_06]: We really are.
[SPEAKER_06]: We are such robes.
[SPEAKER_06]: This story, I don't know, where it came from, who propagated it, but I smell a big rat.
[SPEAKER_06]: Players, we've heard it before.
[SPEAKER_06]: Players on the winning Super Bowl team get $178,000 from the NFL, but Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Donald Blair.
[SPEAKER_06]: I actually lose money on the game.
[SPEAKER_06]: I've heard this a thousand times now.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's because of this play show you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I know, but I've also heard it from lots of different sources.
[SPEAKER_06]: The story has still got some legs because it was played in California.
[SPEAKER_06]: Anyway, they take every, I am so sick of hearing the ultra rich bitch about California.
[SPEAKER_06]: I really am listening to this in Donald's case.
[SPEAKER_06]: We all heard the story yesterday.
[SPEAKER_06]: He is the winning share was $178,000 and he's got to pay $202,250,000 to the state.
[SPEAKER_07]: And it's a call that's the value of what's the value of the ring is the ring included in that one 70 let me give you a let me lay it all out.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, it was played in California, which has a jock tax.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's an additional tax on out of state players based on how many duty days they spend in the state for a game
[SPEAKER_06]: In Donald's case he'll be charged for at least eight days based on his $105 million three-year contract with the C-Hawks plus a $2.5 million bonus for winning the Super Bowl he'll pay between $250,000.
[SPEAKER_06]: Guess what?!
[SPEAKER_06]: !
[SPEAKER_06]: It ain't gonna hurt the rest of us, poor folks.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, so maybe you'd get a service in California easier than another stay because of this stuff.
[SPEAKER_06]: Come on, use your naggons.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, why are we whining for the rich?
[SPEAKER_06]: Stop it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Be smart about this.
[SPEAKER_06]: We need to prop people up everywhere that are living on a refrigerator boxes.
[SPEAKER_07]: Micro being played by the NFL.
[SPEAKER_07]: The animal wants us to side on the side of the rich that are having to pay this money because they do that's money They want this story makes me want a barf.
[SPEAKER_06]: You ready for the I'll say again 100 five Million dollars over three years do the math plus just for winning the game a 2.5 million dollar bonus for winning it all so that guy peels off $200,000
[SPEAKER_06]: to go to you know services for people come on don't be stupid really stop stopping uh who would be outraged about that really rather than pay that money to his home state of Washington and to the city that won the Super Bowl the team that he works for no
[SPEAKER_06]: some days arguing with you about almost everything gets wearing you know it really really this is the dude is you have enough time to get out and buy a super you know I want to judge cuz you know Josh you're right if it went to his home state yeah uh to benefit of it and and look I know that
[SPEAKER_06]: Some rich people donate a ton to charity, but this is all about, I think leveling things up.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is the crap in certain foreign countries that they don't sweat.
[SPEAKER_06]: Were you living this house?
[SPEAKER_06]: Everybody lives a, hey, your house looks just like mine, which looks just like Freddy's down the street, which looks just like that.
[SPEAKER_06]: And you know what?
[SPEAKER_06]: They don't sweat the fact that, hey, that guy just drove down the street in the Lamborghini.
[SPEAKER_06]: They don't sweat that crap.
[SPEAKER_08]: They really don't.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think we'd all be fine with paying taxes and more taxes if we actually trusted the government's use of money.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm that you know what and I would that is a valid point.
[SPEAKER_07]: I agree there's corruption and we got to get what if California countered with this and said that he still has to pay the money but he could donate it to a charity.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know, you know what, I just, I think you could go to one of the, you could go to one of Brett Farbs Crook and fairies and kill as money back.
[SPEAKER_06]: In the super, the losers get paid to, they make 103,000 dollars, you know, that's yeah, that's the losing share, not bad, not bad work.
[SPEAKER_06]: But they put their asses on the line.
[SPEAKER_07]: They work their asses to up to the end of those slowly kills them all with concussions.
[SPEAKER_07]: So they burned their money.
[SPEAKER_06]: Bingo, finally, today.
[SPEAKER_06]: A guy in Sacramento, California, got arrested this week for stealing B-hives.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_06]: The kind that are in boxes that you see on the tree.
[SPEAKER_06]: Sure, yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Not a tree's job.
[SPEAKER_06]: Cox got a report on Tuesday about some B-boxes that I love those.
[SPEAKER_06]: That'll be in the rock and roll all the b-boxes that showed up on a piece of property in Yolo County.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's near sack the big sack.
[SPEAKER_06]: They noticed some markings on the boxes have been altered to hide the fact that they were stolen.
[SPEAKER_06]: So they set up a sting operation.
[SPEAKER_06]: They staked out the spot and arrested the guy when he showed up.
[SPEAKER_06]: There's a photo of him in handcuffs still wearing the beekeeping out that 47-year-old Leonid Tursey is facing felony theft charges.
[SPEAKER_06]: No word on why he stole the hives.
[SPEAKER_06]: But he's probably not just a big fan of honey.
[SPEAKER_06]: Farms pay a lot of money to have those hives.
[SPEAKER_06]: brought in when their crops need pollinating.
[SPEAKER_06]: There have been famous stars who kept bees as well because it's very lucrative.
[SPEAKER_06]: One that comes to mind, conservative talker, larvae ingrump.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm so sorry.
[SPEAKER_06]: I like it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's fun.
[SPEAKER_06]: Music, mogul.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hive Davis.
[SPEAKER_07]: Second day that we've mentioned Clyde on this show.
[SPEAKER_06]: sting.
[SPEAKER_06]: And of course, the past of them all, Queen Latifa.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you, everybody.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm so sure.
[SPEAKER_07]: I actually have two bees myself.
[SPEAKER_06]: You do.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, in my name.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hey, Rob with two bees.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's where you go.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, about that.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hey, everybody.
[SPEAKER_07]: That tune.
[SPEAKER_06]: A well-built wardrobe is about pieces that work together and hold up over time.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's what Quinn's does best.
[SPEAKER_06]: Premium materials thoughtful design in everyday staples that are easy to wear and easy to rely on.
[SPEAKER_06]: Even as the weather shifts, Quinn's has the everyday essentials that I love with quality that lasts, organic cotton sweaters, polos for every occasion, lighter jackets to keep you warm in the changing season.
[SPEAKER_06]: Quince works directly with top factories and cuts out the middle man so you're not paying for brand markup.
[SPEAKER_06]: Just quality clothing, everything built to hold up to daily wear and still look good season after season.
[SPEAKER_06]: Plus, they only partner with factories that meet rigorous standards for craftsmanship and ethical production.
[SPEAKER_06]: My new cashmere sweater ridiculously soft and what's cool, it does keep you warm and it's also lightweight, very, very cool, and in Quince's case it doesn't cost a fortune.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's swell as Rob likes to say it is slow.

[SPEAKER_06]: Quince.com slash T-M-O-S. All right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Look, Rob, I, this is bitter sweet to talk about this, but I'd like to thank
[SPEAKER_06]: about you a lot because of the situation where your dad came home yesterday, and he's in the house now, and you said it was kind of a rough night, but he's home now, and hopefully things are coming down a little bit.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, I mean, he's only been home for about 19 hours, so I mean, we don't have a system in place yet, but he was happy to come home.
[SPEAKER_07]: It is really
[SPEAKER_07]: We've got two great nurses that are alternating 12-hour shifts for the next couple of days that will help him get straight and everything worked out, but I tried to stay as positive yesterday as I could, but when they arranged for his transfer and I called it a body transfer, but I guess I shouldn't because that sounds like a corpse.
[SPEAKER_07]: So when they arranged for the patient transfer,
[SPEAKER_07]: They showed up at the place, the home where he was at.
[SPEAKER_07]: And they said, OK, go ahead and home.
[SPEAKER_07]: We'll be just behind you, and you can be there to receive us.
[SPEAKER_07]: I said, great.
[SPEAKER_07]: So Kathy and I hop in the car, we come home.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's only about a 15 minute ride.
[SPEAKER_07]: And we had spent the night before moving the furniture and making sure they had a clean passage to get in, because it's a small place.
[SPEAKER_07]: And they get here, and I see exactly what's got to happen.
[SPEAKER_07]: And they say, can we see where the patient is headed?
[SPEAKER_07]: Because he lost a lot of weight, by the way, since this all started going down, probably for the first time in 40 years, he's under 200 pounds.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's lost probably 70 pounds.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: So they come in and they look around and they both look like regulars on the new Saturday night live.
[SPEAKER_07]: young, maybe handsome in some people's eyes, but they certainly think they're handsome.
[SPEAKER_07]: And really just hold on.
[SPEAKER_06]: Let me examine that one a little bit.
[SPEAKER_06]: That comment is based on what when you say that.
[SPEAKER_06]: They've got an attitude.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, they've got a little bit of a, a little bit of stride, you know, a little bit of strut when they come in.
[SPEAKER_07]: Let me see what this pathway is going to look like.
[SPEAKER_07]: And they come in.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you, Mikey K for the $20 super chat in the honor of HPS.
[SPEAKER_06]: But when you answer that question, you kind of cement it for me because what I hear, you can correct me if I'm wrong when you're saying that that attitude is also a minimal humanity where you know you're not really good.
[SPEAKER_07]: And Marcelo Hernandez, I get it.
[SPEAKER_08]: That falls in line with what Kelly and I talk about all the time that the younger generation doesn't know social cues and doesn't know how to interact with people in a similar type system, same type of thing here.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, there's going to be a little sensitivity when you're doing it.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm probably the people who have a I think my cello is the lead guy and he comes in and he says hmm we're going to want to bring him in head first meaning you know because it's structure and as on wheels and I
[SPEAKER_07]: I start doing the path in my head because you know I used to move furniture for a living.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's what I did for a while and I figured out four different ways and every way that he comes in head first and they turn around.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's not facing the right way when he gets into the bedroom.
[SPEAKER_07]: Every way I figured it and I will almost said something to these two Saturday night live regulars that he needs to come and feet first.
[SPEAKER_07]: But you know what?
[SPEAKER_07]: This is what they do.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I'm going to let them do it.
[SPEAKER_07]: So you get my dad and he's coming in and he's not agitated but bothered and upset because a transfer is a big deal.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's a lot of stress on any patient and they come in and they do exactly what I thought they do.
[SPEAKER_07]: Straight in hard right with his head facing the kitchen nice sweep into the bedroom so that he is exactly 180 degrees the wrong way for getting into
[SPEAKER_07]: with not a lot of room to maneuver no room to maneuver done and so they have to take him out of the bedroom and spin him while he's out in the outer living room all this time all my dad wants is to not be on wheels on a bed that's 14 inches wide he just wants out of it and they don't know what they're doing as I would imagine he's been in it for quite a while, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I don't know why I didn't open my mouth.
[SPEAKER_07]: I should have because I saw this coming 40 miles away.
[SPEAKER_07]: And anyway, so if you got two people who come to your house that look like Saturday night in life regulars, oversee them, make sure they do it right.
[SPEAKER_07]: don't have Kyle Mooney to help your father.
[SPEAKER_06]: So it's a thing.
[SPEAKER_06]: It becomes a thing.
[SPEAKER_07]: It becomes a whole thing.
[SPEAKER_07]: And you know, he's been working towards getting home for four months.
[SPEAKER_07]: This is the reward.
[SPEAKER_07]: And all they do is make it utter hell for him.
[SPEAKER_07]: So great job.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's all I saw.
[SPEAKER_07]: I had to bitch.
[SPEAKER_08]: Was he was looking forward to going home?
[SPEAKER_07]: Absolutely, it was probably the brightest part of his weakness week is when we told him that.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, on a brighter note, how are the caregivers that are there with him now?
[SPEAKER_06]: And by the way, folks, if you think this is a downer, this is important to us, and we have to talk about it.
[SPEAKER_06]: So how are they?
[SPEAKER_06]: How are they doing with that?
[SPEAKER_06]: fantastic.
[SPEAKER_06]: He had not a great night.
[SPEAKER_07]: We had a male nurse overnight, who literally was able, when his blood sugar gets wicked low, he can't really even swallow.
[SPEAKER_07]: Because, you know, he doesn't have the facility.
[SPEAKER_07]: So this guy right away pulls out of his bag, a coke, and a syringe.
[SPEAKER_07]: And he's not with a needle, just like a plunger syringe.
[SPEAKER_07]: And he starts squirting coke into my dad's mouth.
[SPEAKER_07]: line of the day, ladies and gentlemen, for Mr. Josh, who is also a little under the weather today and he gets that one off, but you know, and we had to go through this twice last night, but I would have never thought of that and he woke up in a better humor and he was breakfast and we've got an appointment telehealth with his endocrine
[SPEAKER_07]: I'll just today to help get the sugar stuff worked out because as I said, he's not even in home for a day yet.
[SPEAKER_07]: We've got a system to a staff.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh man, I've been thinking about you a lot and I'm really, really glad he's home, but, you know, I know that this is this is not an easy time for your boy, Rob, to be doing this.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I'm just glad you're there with his wife and I'm glad that you're home.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's a good thing.
[SPEAKER_07]: Not even three years 300 years for Kathy his wife who a lot of people.
[SPEAKER_06]: What a sweetheart.
[SPEAKER_06]: She is she such a guy.
[SPEAKER_07]: The greatest and the way she has patience with him and talks to him and gets him through these situations is really something quite stunning to watch and I love her very much and what she's done as Benix Jordan.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you for you guys.
[SPEAKER_06]: good for you guys.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, I wish you nothing but better days ahead and hopefully this transfer, you know, makes it better for him.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I think probably the nurses that are on duty here are giving you guys a little tutorial and specifically Kathy because you're not going to be there forever.
[SPEAKER_06]: But that's that, you know, that's just great.
[SPEAKER_06]: And there's so many people.
[SPEAKER_06]: I really think that, you know, when you talk about caregivers, the people, the nurses that work in the hospital and the nurses that work in schools and the nurses that work, you know, in the convalescent homes and places like that, the majority of them are good folk and do amazing things.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: In contact, close contact with a lot of nurses in my life.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I've only met one that wasn't great, and she was still pretty good.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I mean, nurses are the backbone of healthcare.
[SPEAKER_07]: The doctor is a great and they're brilliant, but the nurse is what gets things done.
[SPEAKER_07]: And these two that we have, Jennifer is our nurse today.
[SPEAKER_07]: And she's fantastic.
[SPEAKER_07]: She just knows what's going on.
[SPEAKER_07]: She spots him.
[SPEAKER_07]: She says, I think he's in pain.
[SPEAKER_07]: We can take care of that.
[SPEAKER_07]: Just, you know, they have a radar for making the patient comfortable.
[SPEAKER_07]: in a lot of my board ground for me.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I'll say this.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, people talk about how I bust Rob's chops, but I will say this.
[SPEAKER_06]: I had my sister up in New England who was closer physically geographically to my mom who did a great job with my mom.
[SPEAKER_06]: You do not have a sibling, but you are the definitive.
[SPEAKER_06]: good son and you are you are stepping up uh the way uh you know I will always hope that my kids will step up for me the way you've stood up for you.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm not a chance but uh you know honestly I think someone told me when Robert was in his care for leukemia and he's cancer free now and that's great.
[SPEAKER_07]: But they said, you're only going to be handed what you can deal with.
[SPEAKER_07]: And so when this happens, I think that anybody with an ounce of blood would want to be right there with their dad.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're bomb or any pair.
[SPEAKER_06]: But it's all about.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it really what it's all about.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, it's just, you know, it's the whole, the whole deal.
[SPEAKER_06]: And, you know, I'll be thinking of you.
[SPEAKER_06]: And, you know, if you want to do a break,
[SPEAKER_06]: at some particular point from Miami and get away just let me know what's going on because I know Josh is available and we are and I know this is a very personal thing and you live in a very small space there.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I'm glad they got him turned around.
[SPEAKER_07]: I really, yeah, you know, I don't get mad very often.
[SPEAKER_07]: I can really sort of roll with things but I was sort of
[SPEAKER_07]: correct them.
[SPEAKER_07]: So you know what, hooray for everything.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know what happens Josh though if you know like say there they're doing the carrying two guys with one guy holding one guy and Rob bitches a little bit then they go
[SPEAKER_06]: How about this and I just move their hands out of the bottom goes on the floor.

[SPEAKER_06]: That's my favorite.
[SPEAKER_06]: The winter Olympics.
[SPEAKER_06]: Here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_06]: I am detached.
[SPEAKER_06]: I get my TV through YouTube TV, which is a.
[SPEAKER_06]: horrible way to get television in my humble opinion, it's cheap it is.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's cheap.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's why I get it.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, it's not cheap at all.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's very cheaper than some of the alternatives like direct TV.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's the way.
[SPEAKER_07]: So you get so much less.
[SPEAKER_06]: So it's good.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, but the thing is, my question is this, I have not even served because finding stuff on my YouTube TV is problematic for me, and I just put on your NBC affiliate.
[SPEAKER_06]: But I just haven't done it.
[SPEAKER_06]: I have, so is this, let me ask you this question.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right, peacock peacock peacock, that the best way to watch the Olympics is through the peacock app.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't have the peacock app.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not going to get the peacock app.
[SPEAKER_06]: the regular NBC coverage.
[SPEAKER_06]: Is that every night in prime time?
[SPEAKER_06]: Is that the way it is now?
[SPEAKER_07]: Mike from what I have seen from what you have seen because you don't know either.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, but I have skimmed by it because I don't watch the Olympics, but I think on NBC they're doing what they used to do in days of old where they will compress the days of events into like the three-hour presentation in prime time.
[SPEAKER_07]: But if you want to watch them live and see what's going on, then it's
[SPEAKER_08]: Or on they still do all that are like CNBC true TV, all those other stations that no one watches.
[SPEAKER_07]: And Turner Classic movies is showing the 1940 Olympics.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's wonderful.
[SPEAKER_06]: I look forward to that.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, here.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, I think I'm getting it.
[SPEAKER_06]: And Rob's right.
[SPEAKER_06]: All I had to do was turn on the local affiliate and watch it.
[SPEAKER_06]: It might not have anything to do with the way it's being delivered.
[SPEAKER_06]: It might be the way it's been promoted.
[SPEAKER_07]: And it's the way they've marketed.
[SPEAKER_07]: They want they've wanted peacock to be big for so long.
[SPEAKER_07]: And it's not even in the site of the front of the line.
[SPEAKER_07]: peacock is a lousy app with lousy content.
[SPEAKER_06]: And thank you, babe Rono, for the $10 super chat.
[SPEAKER_06]: We really appreciate that.
[SPEAKER_06]: All of you that drop a super chat honest, we really appreciate those.
[SPEAKER_06]: They keep them coming folks.
[SPEAKER_06]: I wish you very much.
[SPEAKER_08]: Just checking my YouTube TV guide.
[SPEAKER_08]: And Olympic start at noon today on the NBC affiliate.
[SPEAKER_06]: OK. All right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Then I will make an effort because it really is fun.
[SPEAKER_06]: You can find there some green.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_08]: And then lose women's snowboard, half-pipe.
[SPEAKER_08]: be scared in.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, you know what?
[SPEAKER_06]: I like to have pipe 2.
[SPEAKER_06]: I like that.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's amazing.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's amazing to watch that.
[SPEAKER_06]: I take that back.
[SPEAKER_06]: I didn't mean to poo poo.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, like, they have quite a quick way to poo pooing.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: Olympics go until six and then they take two hours off and come back at eight.
[SPEAKER_06]: Speaking enough fun.
[SPEAKER_07]: Just enough time to watch wheel, Mike.
[SPEAKER_06]: when you talk about the half-by-we had a girl at American University.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, that's not what we're talking about.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm so sorry.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's why I also think that everyone that did their super-trance today and that you know that because you've done that, you will be in our prayer circle.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're going to put you on the wall that we're going to put them in the Hall of Fame.
[SPEAKER_06]: Was it Jim?
[SPEAKER_06]: Was it Jim Baker?
[SPEAKER_04]: That has the Hall of Faith?
[SPEAKER_06]: There's so many that run together, that remind me of Robert's city.
[SPEAKER_07]: The member like the 700 club named because you got to be a member if you donated $700.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, that's back, and that's back when, as they like to say, the old far, $700 was a real money.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, piece of change.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, Bob, it's a needed.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right, y'know, I think really when we think about going forward, might be a good idea to exploit our boy here.
[SPEAKER_06]: sure you know from that side would i have to if i was really to make a push for the event jellicle or will you're not even angelic if i was going to be uh... put are you even jellicle yes i'm even jellicle or you are even jellic if i was going to
[SPEAKER_07]: It's like a disdainee said that well, we've only worked with him for two years Well, it's more of a more of preparing.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's more of just preparing for where this conversation's going Okay, that's that's the face the face is what do you try to get out of me?
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm thinking, you know, if we made a real push because I don't agree with any of these TV Evangelists, okay, okay, but would you be willing to
[SPEAKER_07]: might cook sausage and eggs and you're going with all of the people.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, the next live show I will do the prayer heals as well.
[SPEAKER_06]: Just a little bit.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'll ask you this question and then we'll be done with it.
[SPEAKER_06]: If I wanted to appeal on this show to you're the worst and evangelical listenership is there, would you have any tips for what I might want to add or subtract?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, let's add the, we wouldn't start every show with prayer and scripture.
[SPEAKER_08]: I get back to you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: That one, we'll see where we are right.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, because this first segment is sort of already the homily, the super chat is the offering.
[SPEAKER_07]: We just need to really just sort of redistribute the show so it follows the service a little bit.
[SPEAKER_06]: Is there any chance I could make the scripture up?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, I would.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: Also, I'd like to take this moment, Mike, between you, Josh and myself, to offer a sign of Christ peace.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then my reading for the day is from the book of Willy and the fine Corinthian letters.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now, Willie was not one of the main disciples.
[SPEAKER_07]: He was when he was an assistant disciple.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, he was trying to go home, and someone was saying, Willie, Willie, Willie won't go home.
[SPEAKER_06]: Go.
[SPEAKER_06]: Anyway, Willie, it's a beautiful video for us today.

[SPEAKER_07]: Jerry Todd, don't end Mike the morning zoo, okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's upset that way, you know, he didn't send me that clip.
[SPEAKER_08]: So he did not do it every time.
[SPEAKER_07]: Every time Mike, I have two regions where a lot of great video and audio has come to me through the years.
[SPEAKER_07]: One, of course, is the state of Florida.
[SPEAKER_07]: And one is the city of Philadelphia.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know why Philly is so ripe with colorful folks.
[SPEAKER_07]: Do you want to start with Philadelphia or Florida?
[SPEAKER_07]: All right, Mike, there has been a run on people that have just turned 21 going into bars in Philadelphia and with the, you know, the advances in AI fake IDs are really easy to get.
[SPEAKER_07]: So now they're making it.
[SPEAKER_07]: So you have to be 25 to get into a bar, but I think you're going to love this Philly fake ID here.
[SPEAKER_06]: That was a bunch of Irish people going, oh my God.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mike, I think you're going to appreciate this fake idea.
[SPEAKER_00]: Philadelphia is dealing with some underage people trying to sneak their way in.
[SPEAKER_00]: Even one who got creative flashing a fake idea with a picture of one of our founding fathers.
[SPEAKER_00]: The bar says someone tried to use this idea of Benjamin Franklin getting to Dirty Frank Spore in Philadelphia.
[SPEAKER_00]: In Sean's Dirty Frank says it's raising its minimum age from 21 to 25.
[SPEAKER_00]: Dirty Frank says it's frustrated with underage patrons sneaking in, smuggling their own alcohol.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's another chance.
[SPEAKER_07]: But the thing that is so great.
[SPEAKER_07]: I looked closely at the Ben Franklin ID, the address they gave on it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Is the Liberty Bell?
[SPEAKER_07]: So rock that.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I have a creepy moment, if you don't mind, just roll that one more time.
[SPEAKER_06]: Just some of the anchor part, just the anchor part.
[SPEAKER_06]: OK, hold on.
[SPEAKER_00]: Philadelphia is dealing with some underage people trying to sneak their way in, even one who got creative.
[SPEAKER_00]: OK, thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: I am a creep.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm a creep.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're Rob go there.
[SPEAKER_06]: Where did he go now?
[SPEAKER_06]: Now he's vanished.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now it makes that's like spot lady.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's like spotlighting my creepiness.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's happened because I wanted to look at the anchor lady again.
[SPEAKER_06]: What's wrong with me?
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm terribly sorry.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yesterday was Paulina Poroskova today.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's the anchor lady.
[SPEAKER_07]: I got I got kicked out because of your hoarding his mind.
[SPEAKER_06]: But I'm back now.
[SPEAKER_06]: She had a way, sorry, it was a manner thing.
[SPEAKER_06]: Go ahead, don't micring her up at dinner tonight.
[SPEAKER_07]: You should know that that was no surprise to for him today.
[SPEAKER_07]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_07]: No surprise.
[SPEAKER_07]: That was a Los Angeles anchor talking about Philadelphia.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, it was an L.A. anchor.
[SPEAKER_06]: Is that it?
[SPEAKER_06]: It didn't mean the first thing that I felt.
[SPEAKER_06]: Philadelphia.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_06]: Not a chance.
[SPEAKER_04]: I knew.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was sorry.
[SPEAKER_06]: Philadelphia, I could be like.
[SPEAKER_07]: Good, burn Franklin, like there are certain songs that you imagine just always existed, and that's why I found this fascinating.
[SPEAKER_07]: This is right after he wrote this song, which is called Linus and Lucy, and you know it from every peanut special.
[SPEAKER_07]: But here is Vince Garaldi, the man who composed it, actually playing the song before it was on the Charlie Browns.
[UNKNOWN]: Oh, wow, okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: Looks nothing like I want to take me alone.
[SPEAKER_06]: You look groovy, doesn't we?
[SPEAKER_06]: one of the most iconic tunes ever and one of the Christmas or secular side one of the greatest albums ever home and impossible to think of without the pants yeah I don't hear anything that sounds like is that neat right you know when when I've been around pianos and I dabble I do that lower part yeah just just fun nothing else but that boy that I've been at so
[SPEAKER_06]: Cool.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I've never seen it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thank you, Josh.
[SPEAKER_07]: And my other musical thing, I have always been a fan of Michael McDonald.
[SPEAKER_07]: uh... the singer from the dooby brothers and most so now since he did that yott rock uh... documentary where he came off like a hero and he didn't interview with a guy named rick bitto who is a great music colleges uh... notably we've had rick bitto son in the vault before because the son has perfect pitch but when michael McDonald was talking to rick bitto he talked about his first band michael McDonald's first band when he was sixteen
[SPEAKER_07]: and listen to 16-year-old Michael McDonald hit all the notes.
[SPEAKER_07]: This is great.
[SPEAKER_04]: Great choice, you don't want it's not going to be that big taste.
[SPEAKER_06]: The young Michael McDonald.
[SPEAKER_07]: But you know, when I was 16, it would have been always something there and then like 10 years later he turned into a muppet and then started like But anyway, if you ever see this Rick Bito Michael McDonald and you should watch it because he's pretty pretty notable guy just musically have a big fan.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now, did you know, I really have a bad day of work, Rob.
[SPEAKER_07]: Did you know that the flags that skiers have to go around when they're in the winter Olympics, they look like they're sort of flimsy.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, like they would have.
[SPEAKER_06]: They're plastic flexible, so that they can clip them on the way to get a good run.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, it turns out that they're a little more robust than we thought.
[SPEAKER_07]: Let's look at this French skier.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hit him in the wall.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, like gate to the groin for Yani compared to Ron and you could hear it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_03]: And if you're a man, you could feel it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, watch this again.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, the wretched man.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow, the boys took a beating on that one.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's like a fake announcer, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: That's a fake in a real, like Olympic kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's focusing on the ball's point.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Run casting has progressed, hasn't it?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's the hardest to ball has been hit since the last time Carla went to Target.
[SPEAKER_06]: You never forget.
[SPEAKER_07]: I approach it's a great running joke hit the music We gotta get out of here.
[SPEAKER_06]: We will be back tomorrow with a brand new bonus, and I will I will utilize part of that Rob's got a game.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you want to move your game?
[SPEAKER_07]: What it's called it's beautiful.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's called over under and you and Josh will have to fight neck and neck to see who wins Oh, there we go.
[SPEAKER_06]: There you go, kidding us against each other
[SPEAKER_06]: It's not for what we don't get enough of that during the regular week.
[SPEAKER_06]: I will be back with Josh and Rob tomorrow, and I will also be venting about something I shouldn't have to about.
[SPEAKER_06]: For those haters that are out there, if you really like to hate me, this isn't going to make you hate me a lot, but it's going to make you realize that when you have negative thoughts about me, you are spot on.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: We'll be back tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_06]: For Josh and Rob, Michael Maris saying, so long, everybody.
[UNKNOWN]: Bye-bye.
