[SPEAKER_09]: You go away for a weekend and every now and then and doing this a very, very long time when you go away for a weekend.
[SPEAKER_09]: Everything happens on the weekend.
[SPEAKER_09]: It was something to behold.
[SPEAKER_09]: I was running around a hell of a lot this weekend.
[SPEAKER_09]: There was a lot of baseball.
[SPEAKER_09]: There was a lot going on in my life.
[SPEAKER_09]: I did not have my nose in my computer.
[SPEAKER_09]: I was not by the TV.
[SPEAKER_09]: I was on the road a lot.
[SPEAKER_09]: I was running around.
[SPEAKER_09]: And the only news story I thought that was really significant was going to be the Boston Red Sox.
[SPEAKER_09]: uh... blowing out the uh... Baltimore Orioles when low and behold after that they fired the entire coaching staff and the and you know if that weren't enough you know anything about it then we had the uh... white house correspondence dinner we'll talk about that in a second here let me welcome everybody to the micro marriage show we are uh... down a man because uh... he has a uh... as a five forty this morning a severe respiratory situation in my own question would be
[SPEAKER_11]: uh... what did you do to uh... Josh to make him sick i know you two were uh... dating over the weekend it's time you knew i looked all of his skittles do you think he got what you have do you think he had you have you you're not a carrier stage anymore no no i'm not a carry and i don't think as much as a contagious thing and that's the same with who is as well i have a little bit of asthma still by bronchitis is gone because of the steroid so no i don't think i'm patient one here
[SPEAKER_09]: Why don't I always think you just have like a bronchial infection?
[SPEAKER_09]: I didn't know, I didn't know you had asthma.
[SPEAKER_09]: Have you just talked about having asthma?
[SPEAKER_09]: Sure, sure.
[SPEAKER_09]: Remember that.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know, but you know, but we ever feel with this weekend, though, I got to ask, I know that when you were on the Don and Mike show, we would occasionally have a vacation a few days here in their federal holidays, mostly, but when you were on vacation, huge celebrity deaths always happen when you were on vacation.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's, it's weird.
[SPEAKER_09]: Rob is
[SPEAKER_09]: Great clients as I'll give you asthma.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's a great full.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm Grandpa, what about my asthma?
[SPEAKER_09]: I'll give you asthma.
[SPEAKER_09]: The being from that area, knowing the ropes as far as Washington, DC, uh, just a strange, strange time, um, it's
[SPEAKER_09]: Again, we have now had more gun violence surrounding the president of the United States, and The correspondence dinner is where this all happened.
[SPEAKER_09]: We'll have a we'll have that in tidbits as far as the very latest on a what's happening?
[SPEAKER_09]: Fortunately outside of one secret service member Nobody hurt and thank God nobody killed during this particular situation, but It's just we live in interesting times and I am
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't want to poo poo this, but I feel it's my duty as an observer of the media to comment on the fact that you have a room full of journalists.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it, there was no reporting of any significance there.
[SPEAKER_09]: There was plenty of, oh, we're scared.
[SPEAKER_09]: We got under the table.
[SPEAKER_09]: We did this, but as far as anybody,
[SPEAKER_09]: racing around and getting sources and saying what happened.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's not existing.
[SPEAKER_09]: It does.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, they're here tonight.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're here.
[SPEAKER_09]: They are here cuts.
[SPEAKER_11]: We saw some on local news.
[SPEAKER_11]: We saw a lot of shaky handheld iPhone video from like the second tier traffic people and the features reporters, but I was stunned at the last of information.
[SPEAKER_09]: coming out of that room.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, when you realize, I watched Wolf Blitzer, who was on the phone and said he was feet away from the shooter.
[SPEAKER_09]: So apparently he was not in the ballroom when this all went down.
[SPEAKER_09]: He was out by where they brought the guy down, which I was downed innocent, right?
[SPEAKER_09]: By the way,
[SPEAKER_09]: with all the diagrams they're going to show and by the way, nothing easier to decipher than a hotel room schematic, a hotel schematic, I should say.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's especially one that seems to have been built by the same people that built the clue house.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know if you've ever been to the Washington Elton.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's kind of, it's insane.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, by parking on up, it's on the worst.
[SPEAKER_09]: I start with this that when you're talking about something that goes down, you would think,
[SPEAKER_09]: When I'm watching the live feed on CNN, you would think that the number one priority would be to clear the room and put the people someplace else.
[SPEAKER_09]: I watched.
[SPEAKER_09]: an hour of people casually chatting with their glasses still full talking laughing it was surreal that was my first impression when I saw this where I said to myself what's the deal here no
[SPEAKER_09]: I understand that when there is a problem that people don't know what to do.
[SPEAKER_09]: I wouldn't know what to do.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's the same thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: The idea of the first reporting that came out, I want to find out if you were like me, did you believe when you saw that that there was a guy in the ballroom firing shots at the president?
[SPEAKER_11]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: And what my first thought was,
[SPEAKER_11]: The real thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's where you went first.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, I mean, the first thing I thought, I didn't even think there was really a shooting.
[SPEAKER_11]: It started, you know, vague things on Facebook and pop music there too and you're getting local news too.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: And so, and I wasn't watching the news.
[SPEAKER_11]: I was just watching, you know, I was probably watching the Netflix or something because I don't take a lot of the local channels.
[SPEAKER_11]: So it starts popping up on Facebook.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I'm thinking, well, this can't be, this can't be.
[SPEAKER_11]: Then it turns out it is.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I remember at least one headline from a credible news source shot fired at the president.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, which it couldn't be further from the truth.
[SPEAKER_09]: Because that's what they do.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it's just, we have criticized media and news in particular for so long because there is,
[SPEAKER_09]: credit where credit is due.
[SPEAKER_09]: He was there.
[SPEAKER_09]: He did see what was going on, but it was more like I was scared.
[SPEAKER_09]: I was this.
[SPEAKER_09]: I was that as opposed to what we saw, what we saw, what we saw.
[SPEAKER_09]: The long and short of it, he was in a totally different area, not near the day.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's not near the president.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then what's the deal?
[SPEAKER_10]: The overflow room.
[UNKNOWN]: They couldn't fit.
[SPEAKER_09]: it was surreal.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's it's happened again, you know what I had to do.
[SPEAKER_09]: They don't last night.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think the point I wanted to make grab, they don't look anything other than the sensational.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, I'm afraid.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I am somebody.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I think you're the same way.
[SPEAKER_09]: Maybe because of what we do.
[SPEAKER_09]: I just want hard information.
[SPEAKER_09]: I want to know who what we're went how.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's all.
[SPEAKER_09]: not not oh look at the way they grabbed the advice president and the speculation of well did they did they pull the vice president off first before president Trump for some reason who cares it was not it was just such we're speculating on everything that doesn't matter yeah they're they're making up pales and telling stories and then within days we get the information about the shooter and all
[SPEAKER_11]: yesterday and this is on me as much as anybody I had to Google the first shooting to remember what the result of it was I mean I remember Trump getting hit in the ear and him standing up but I forgot that the assassin was taken down it's just it's these things are so of the moment sensationalized and then gone
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, and if it's not if it's not some quirky weird conspiracy laden, it's almost like nobody knows how to report the the hard facts.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now the situation at the at the Hilton.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I got to ask, have you ever been to the Correspondence Center because you were a big deal, Indies?
[SPEAKER_09]: I have been, I have been to, I always got confused believe it or not.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_09]: I apologize and it's all right.
[SPEAKER_09]: I always, I always got two invitations a year.
[SPEAKER_09]: And for some reason, I couldn't get to them.
[SPEAKER_09]: One was the Correspondence Center.
[SPEAKER_09]: And one was the bartenders ball.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think of the part where Jimmy says, Zinzi, Zinzi, whatever that hell is.
[SPEAKER_09]: The first, this is number one.
[SPEAKER_09]: And this should be number one in everybody's mind.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're talking about, cabinet members, talking about members of Congress, talking about Senate, you're talking about cabinet, you're talking about the President, you're talking about the Vice President, and essentially you should have the most secure environment in the world.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, it should be the most outside of the, you know, the capital and the White House, it should be.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it wasn't.
[SPEAKER_09]: And this guy got through a perimeter and then, you know, went nuts, but, you know, that will, the shoe will drop whatever way it's going to drop.
[SPEAKER_09]: I was frustrated that we weren't getting any information, but I should be used to it by now.
[SPEAKER_09]: that when something goes down it's panic it's all of this uh but why they didn't clear the room I think there are many many questions and of course we'll have hearings where people can pontificate after the fact long after the fact it's uh you know the one thing that stuck in my head about the evacuation and I've heard it from all angles is that this yearly event this White
[SPEAKER_09]: The Oscars for Washington, DC, which way back when this whole thing started, that's what it was.
[SPEAKER_09]: It was excused for the talking heads on TV, the wunks inside the beltway that were on the in media, the Sam Donaldson's, the co-key Roberts to put on their finery and act like it was the Oscars that got bigger and bigger and bigger.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't think it's as big as it used to be.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, it's certainly not as big as it used to be, right?
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, the what it was always described to me as a bad hotel meal in a ballroom that's way too crowded to a point that your elbows are hitting the person on either side of you and it's just they pack that room and that's a hard thing to secure and if it is a hard thing to secure maybe don't do it
[SPEAKER_09]: Here it is.
[SPEAKER_09]: The event has grown.
[SPEAKER_09]: I remember when it was for news media.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's what it started as it grew.
[SPEAKER_09]: It became more of a glittery event where they would bring in like vanity fair, would bring in celebrities.
[SPEAKER_09]: they'd buy a table and they would buy a table and you would have different people come to the Correspondence dinner and it's just a and then then it was year after year of one comedian another comedian some comedians would bomb some would not some will be controversial.
[SPEAKER_11]: It hasn't been good since they brought in rich little.
[SPEAKER_09]: two three Canadian hunters and that really was that really was right.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, we see in the that was in the W era Yeah, I think he was brought in because the previous comedian was like two outrageous You know, he's outrageous like Mark Russell or something and so they wanted to bring in someone safe But they've also put in you guys.
[SPEAKER_09]: They passed that have been salted and and all that look
[SPEAKER_09]: the bottom line is so many questions about security that maybe will maybe will not be answered and I think you've got some tape right do and bring up security I'll go to this first well watch these tapes out of order so it will be a whole lot on the a Carolyn Levitt because people are already talking about what she said which was very strange.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I mean, but this is after the event transpired and after everything was under control, it was great to see the president do a press conference in a Tuxedo, but this is one minute into his remarks, and this is his analysis of what went down.
[SPEAKER_04]: And the best did the job.
[SPEAKER_04]: I just spoke to the officer and he's doing great.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's great, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's very high spirits, and we told them we love them and respect them, and he's a very proud guy, he's very proud of what he does, Secret Service Agent, and we looked at all of the conditions that took place tonight, and I will say, you know, it's not a particularly secure building,
[SPEAKER_04]: all of the attributes of what we're planning at the White House.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's actually a larger room and it's a much more secure.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's got its drone proof, it's bulletproof glass, we need the ballroom.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's why secret service, that's why the military are demanding it.
[SPEAKER_09]: That just drum proof is it made me laugh.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, that is Mike drone proof is usually it has a roof That's what drum proofing is about it.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's just But it's just
[SPEAKER_09]: who's ballroom, which which a judge has temporarily put the combustion right that they can't build that thing like it's got a change after this of course after this yeah so I didn't see the clip that you're gonna play with a Carolyn Levitt but apparently
[SPEAKER_11]: lots of people are talking about this because she said this before the event yeah on the red carpet Mike because when you have a press event you need a red carpet and uh... unfortunately no Ryan C. crest here but by the way if we build the uh... ballroom
[SPEAKER_11]: We're going to have the best red carpet in the world.
[SPEAKER_11]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it's and the red carpet will be drone drone proof.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, everyone will be issued a drone proof umbrella.
[SPEAKER_11]: Anyway, here is a Caroline love it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, is he not?
[SPEAKER_03]: He is ready to rumble.
[SPEAKER_03]: I will tell you this beach tonight will be classic Donald J. Trump.
[SPEAKER_03]: It'll be funny.
[SPEAKER_03]: It'll be entertaining.
[SPEAKER_03]: There will be some shots fired tonight.
[SPEAKER_03]: The road.
[SPEAKER_03]: So everyone should tune in.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's going to be a ha ha ha.
[SPEAKER_11]: Boy, she's never looked shinier.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right.
[SPEAKER_09]: So that's the way it was.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: Do you want to see a little bit of the footage of when the shooting went down?
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: Here we go.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is going to be in place.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is when the gunshots are heard.
[SPEAKER_11]: He looks alert.
[SPEAKER_11]: The security is rushing from from the stage for carrying him there.
[SPEAKER_09]: The SWAT guys, I believe those are your secret service, the SWAT division, JD being us, you're just a strange thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: It was, when you saw that and that's the first video everybody saw.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, there's Pete Higgs-Heth.
[SPEAKER_01]: Look at that.
[SPEAKER_11]: what they did to get RFK junior out of the room is they said you know there are vaccinated people in here.
[SPEAKER_09]: Go!
[SPEAKER_09]: But looking at that and that's what most people saw first was the replays and replays and replays of them clearing the dance.
[SPEAKER_09]: You would have thought there was somebody in the room.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: But there was, you know, if it is someone a floor above, I mean, I'm no security expert, but once they have him down, lock people in the ballroom, because then they can't get out and hamper the operation that's going on.
[SPEAKER_09]: Isn't it amazing how we respond to things as Americans now?
[SPEAKER_09]: to think of dishonesty first that when he mentions the ballroom everybody immediately says oh it was yeah that's what they did they shot a secret service guy and and manufacture the whole events so that you can get us no stop this is not this is not very impactful like a shot to the ear this is a real one
[SPEAKER_09]: And now that's Rob Spiewak send your letters to him.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't think that was fake.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't think it was fake.
[SPEAKER_09]: But it's just that it's the way our minds go.
[SPEAKER_09]: We don't think and we don't think normally.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, and then go to the media who once they realized that there was one injury and he's going to be okay because thank God he was wearing a bullet pro vest.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's when they start thinking.
[SPEAKER_11]: Did they get vans out first?
[SPEAKER_11]: How did the orderation go down?
[SPEAKER_09]: And it was totally right.
[SPEAKER_09]: The way this is the way it was explained briefly by, I don't know who did it, but it was quick.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it was easy to understand and it made sense.
[SPEAKER_09]: That you have two totally different details for the vice president and the president.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right, there are two teams that are responsible for each guy.
[SPEAKER_09]: So it was just a simply a situation.
[SPEAKER_09]: And by the way, when I saw a video of one of Trump's security detail, you realize what these guys are all about.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: And you realize, I mean, where you do have to tip the cap to the secret service.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_09]: Who is in charge of securing every, you know, the powers that be, yeah, there'll be finger pointing,
[SPEAKER_09]: they'll be people that may be dropped the ball but as far as those guys that are on the detail those brave guys that stay there was a guy it no better example of somebody that's that jump to in front of the president on the day is was standing up looking right looking left giving orders and a big guy look like a linebacker and standing there and you realize that's what these guys are trying to do and what they do and that is physical bravery that you can't
[SPEAKER_09]: you can't change any interpretation of that.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's a guy putting his ass on the line to protect the president of the United States.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I think that's what is truly amazing when you see the guys that use this for a living.
[SPEAKER_11]: The best of the best and JD Vance is predicted by two former American gladiators.
[SPEAKER_11]: That are dreamy, they are dreamy and very, very, very, very effective.
[SPEAKER_09]: It is, it's just, you're a troll, and I don't like giving it a job at, okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: Anyway, I'd tell you who really benefit from what he wanted.
[SPEAKER_09]: I gave him what just by mentioning his name.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's what I did.
[SPEAKER_11]: I tell you who really benefits from this is the Washington Hilton.
[SPEAKER_11]: because now they can advertise as the home of the most presidential assassination attempts of any other hotel in the world.
[SPEAKER_09]: I would like to take this opportunity to say that the Margarita bill at C will be a secure boat.
[SPEAKER_09]: It will.
[SPEAKER_09]: It will be a very secure.
[SPEAKER_11]: Are you bringing your own detail?
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, I'm just packing.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, okay, good.
[SPEAKER_09]: Good.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: What do they call it?
[SPEAKER_09]: A desert eagle.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm so glad because I didn't want to have to protect you again.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now, I think we've pretty much covered that, right?
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, have we covered all that?
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think so.
[SPEAKER_09]: Anything up there that you're getting, that we, you know, we don't have to be getting.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think the most, and I was joking about the Washington Hill, which by the way is lovely.
[SPEAKER_11]: Someone said that this is the biggest.
[SPEAKER_11]: faux paw of the secret service since the Reagan attempt, and that was at the same hotel.
[SPEAKER_11]: So good luck, Washington Hill.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, no, I mean, I don't think that in a situation like that, one of the reporters for CNN was talking about the lack of security, lack of questions that were asked, a ability to get through.
[SPEAKER_09]: And, you know, I did find out this as it goes on.
[SPEAKER_11]: That the guy, the assassin, was checked into the hotel.
[SPEAKER_11]: which gave him the access to walk around the hotel because he was a guest.
[SPEAKER_09]: There if that I didn't know that.
[SPEAKER_09]: I did.
[SPEAKER_09]: I did not know that.
[SPEAKER_11]: And that is, I mean, it's clever if it works, but that should have been like the first thing they looked at.
[SPEAKER_11]: Who is not just coming in the building, but who is in the building?
[SPEAKER_11]: I checked in.
[SPEAKER_09]: I will tell you this that he was overwhelmingly radical.
[SPEAKER_09]: the numbness that I feel.
[SPEAKER_09]: I feel so numb about everything nowadays.
[SPEAKER_09]: I just feel like what's going to be, what's the next event?
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, I thought originally, what's the next situation?
[SPEAKER_11]: It tells us very weekend.
[SPEAKER_11]: I thought it was neuropathy, but no, it is numbness.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's just chaos.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's always chaos.
[SPEAKER_09]: It seems like it's always chaos.
[SPEAKER_11]: I should be so flipped out.
[SPEAKER_11]: You should be so flipped out.
[SPEAKER_11]: The world should be flipped out by a presidential assassination attempt, and we're not.
[SPEAKER_09]: No.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're not.
[SPEAKER_09]: I just, uh, I don't, I don't get it.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't get it.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think to me there was more urgency on the last one during in 24, but I could be wrong.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_09]: But I don't know.
[SPEAKER_09]: But I don't know as much more of a dangerous event.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, it really was.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, we get to we we've gotten so used to every other day.
[SPEAKER_09]: There is chaos and everybody is going nuts and it's just an overall the malaise is there, you know what I mean the overall we are all nice to try another we're now.
[SPEAKER_09]: not nice to one another.
[SPEAKER_09]: My kids can't go fishing in their neighborhood.
[SPEAKER_09]: They can't ride an e-bike through the neighborhood without literally being harassed by these old people down here.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think they really can't.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's where everybody's like, man, I think they're all exhausted.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it's like,
[SPEAKER_11]: There's a saying that, you know, how did you handle this event?
[SPEAKER_11]: And then some very optimistic people will say, well, you're never given more than you can handle.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, I think we've all been given more than we can handle and we're weary.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're feeling it.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it's depressing.
[SPEAKER_09]: It is, it's just, it wears on you.
[SPEAKER_11]: It, it really, I mean, I don't want to say there's no end in sight, but I don't see it getting better before it gets worse again.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's sad, it's depressing, it's, it makes me angry, it frustrates me, the land.
[SPEAKER_09]: of a cynics, well, have a new story that's pretty interesting about why we might be acting the way we are.
[SPEAKER_09]: But first, I want to mention that a little ray of sunshine over the weekend was that our two boys, Mr. Soroka and Mr. Speedwack.
[SPEAKER_09]: actually got together.
[SPEAKER_09]: They are, by the way, they have become very, very good pals.
[SPEAKER_09]: We really have.
[SPEAKER_09]: And, you know, I think that they share one common thread, you know, which is working with me.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I'm sure that makes for many, many hours of laughter and joy, because who wouldn't be filled with joy, working
[SPEAKER_09]: having the pleasure of working with me.
[SPEAKER_11]: When we met up, we met up at the Udvar-Hazie Smithsonian where they have a meeting.
[SPEAKER_11]: Did you meet at the museum?
[SPEAKER_11]: Is that where you met?
[SPEAKER_09]: We did.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it was not very attended that day.
[SPEAKER_11]: It was a Friday.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I think Josh and I were the only people under 12.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, sorry, over 12, but under 75 in the entire museum.
[SPEAKER_09]: But a good opportunity for you to steal away and whisper and chat.
[SPEAKER_11]: I've, and we mostly talked, I know we were standing right in the shadow of the space shuttle, but mostly what we said is, isn't my great?
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, sure.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, we actually, um, I can't believe that I live 25 minutes from this place, this hangar that has all these aircraft in it, and I've never been, because I've been to the Smithsonian's downtown dozens of times, but to come into this building and immediately take a right hand turn and you're looking at the nose of the space shuttle, I believe it is the discovery.
[SPEAKER_11]: it is extraordinary.
[SPEAKER_11]: Do you remember when the first space shuttle went up?
[SPEAKER_11]: I guess that was the Columbia and they kept talking about how it's covered in tiles.
[SPEAKER_11]: That was the big thing about that if something gets damaged, you don't have to replace the whole part, you just replace the tiles on the on the ship and it seemed sort of you know.
[SPEAKER_11]: So what tiles?
[SPEAKER_11]: We were so close to the space shuttle, we could literally see the tiles.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I mean, I've been there with my kids a couple
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, the Anola Gay is just astounding.
[SPEAKER_11]: The whole thing is remarkable, and Mike, they have watches.
[SPEAKER_09]: they sell watches and they don't know.
[SPEAKER_11]: They have historic watches of aviators.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I thought Mike should be here for this.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, I've been there.
[SPEAKER_09]: I've been there and I've, and they've got an observation tower over there too.
[SPEAKER_09]: I believe where you can go up and, you know, look at the Dullis Airport.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's so close to Dullis.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, it's almost like one day to the way.
[SPEAKER_09]: Let me address this with you and in an easier because, you know, you're less prickly than Josh is.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I'd like to do it with you.
[SPEAKER_09]: which is interesting, which, okay, Carla, you know, I said, Carla, I'm going to ask them about this because there does seem to be an issue with Carla and you and Josh.
[SPEAKER_09]: I just, I feel like, so Carla on Saturday night.
[SPEAKER_09]: pitches this influencer that's an interesting guy that goes out and helps people that are on the streets fascinating guy right does is hey Josh Rob.
[SPEAKER_09]: I have a lead for an interview.
[SPEAKER_09]: They will reach out who's info should I give them.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then she puts up a little screenshot and a link of what this guy is all about and what what he does now.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, with that, you would think that there would be, oh, thank you, Carla, that's cool, you know, whatever.
[SPEAKER_09]: Looks like it might be some feedback.
[SPEAKER_09]: Might be, might be nice to get a little.
[SPEAKER_09]: That sounds interesting.
[SPEAKER_09]: I will bud it.
[SPEAKER_09]: So robbery spawns right after that after, and she writes, hey, Josh Rom, have a lead for an interview.
[SPEAKER_09]: They will reach out whose info should I give them.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then robbery spawns Josh is the point of contact for interviews.
[SPEAKER_09]: Which is true.
[SPEAKER_09]: But it's very, it's very, like, cut and dry, not high.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hello, thank you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Whatever.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's, I mean, it depends on how it's, it's received.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's not an offer that you could do.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, it doesn't offer that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Carlos says, good to know what info should I give email address phone number, especially there's just no, you know, it's your, your response is like, Kurt, would that be the best way to describe it?
[SPEAKER_09]: Then, you know, Carlos is good enough.
[SPEAKER_09]: Then Rob writes for the first contact, it's always best for the guests to reach out to Josh.
[SPEAKER_09]: and then you give the link and then so that's another one.
[SPEAKER_09]: Little more information which is nice than Carlis says.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'll send them the info, your Josh, I'll send them your info tonight.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm assuming there is no apostrophe in your email because Rob, when you put the email out.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, because I was doing talk to text.
[SPEAKER_09]: So please reach out to them and keep me in the loop.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm here to a chat if you have questions.
[SPEAKER_09]: I hope things work out as he has 4.5 million followers.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Josh's response.
[SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_09]: Dudes.
[SPEAKER_09]: Fake it better.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know what's going on, but fake it better.
[SPEAKER_09]: Please.
[SPEAKER_09]: My God, the woman.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now, I mean, I look, it just...
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know where this all went south, but it's...
[SPEAKER_09]: It's...
[SPEAKER_09]: it's a little much.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know that it's going to, I mean, if I was, if I come off as Kurt, it's only because time for you.
[SPEAKER_09]: I was, I, I stayed out of this, although I was following it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I, it's in our group chat.
[SPEAKER_09]: I refrained from putting my comment on which would have been as follows to you.
[SPEAKER_09]: I would have wrote, what are you?
[SPEAKER_09]: His effing agent,
[SPEAKER_09]: this is as you know, more of those two than you and me involved in this.
[SPEAKER_09]: Would that be accurate?
[SPEAKER_11]: Josh likes to do what Josh likes to do and I think he likes to.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_11]: He likes to chase.
[SPEAKER_11]: He likes to tilt his own windmill.
[SPEAKER_11]: And you know what?
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm sure this this contact will bear out to be something interesting.
[SPEAKER_11]: But because it didn't come from his
[SPEAKER_11]: Hard to say.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's just maybe he was sick already.
[SPEAKER_09]: She, could, would I, can you understand me where I'm a little bit of, uh, I certainly understand.
[SPEAKER_09]: I normally don't jump into these things, but this is one particular one where I'm like, okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: but I'll bring it up in the in the show because I don't you are so squarely in the middle of it that's what's unfortunate I am but yeah I can't answer for Josh right perhaps I should have been a little more flowery in my reply no it's just you know she gets as she feels though that she's uh you know she's tilting it will knows a little bit when she's doing this so
[SPEAKER_09]: Also, I didn't share that.
[SPEAKER_11]: It was kind of an interesting little side like you know we reach out and there are times that I reach out to her You know not on the show about copy or whatnot.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, I think we have a really good relationship Of course, I think you do and I well I think there's no hesitation and I think I often say you know talk to talk to Josh Josh talk to Carla I just would like them to a community cave better.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's true and also by my
[SPEAKER_09]: And I'm so comfortable with it that you know the rules when I bring it to this forum It's because I don't want to deal with it all in real life Yeah, I don't want to call you after the show today.
[SPEAKER_11]: You would not pick up.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, I don't care to discuss it
[SPEAKER_09]: I like to get my laundry and take a care.
[SPEAKER_09]: I've got enough going on in the world right now because it's, you know, I had, also you know what, I'll say, I've known Carla a lot longer than Josh has to.
[SPEAKER_11]: And he's never really spent much time with her, except for the stretch when he set up your studio, I guess.
[SPEAKER_09]: I get it.
[SPEAKER_09]: And we all stop don't we all want to be acknowledged and we all want to be loved.
[SPEAKER_11]: Don't we all just got that's why we're in this business.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's that's what we want as far as I will tell you this.
[SPEAKER_09]: I didn't want to ever do this again.
[SPEAKER_09]: But I did it little league tournament over the weekend, greatly, they left a pitcher in nobody understood why to the ball game.
[SPEAKER_09]: All the parents were upset.
[SPEAKER_09]: I was upset.
[SPEAKER_09]: I asked the coach what he was thinking.
[SPEAKER_09]: I shouldn't have.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't care.
[SPEAKER_09]: We moved on, then I just put on a thread.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is my big mistake.
[SPEAKER_09]: Public thread, you know, within the group, I said, not sure what we're doing.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm confused.
[SPEAKER_09]: That was, that's how benign it was.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's how benign it was.
[SPEAKER_09]: I look at it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I mean, did you say, did you sort of spell out why you weren't sure you were doing it?
[SPEAKER_11]: Did you just put, you see, all right, let me see.
[SPEAKER_11]: You would, a great vague post would be.
[SPEAKER_09]: Not sure what we're doing, I am relatively new to all of this.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm trying to figure out after today what the mission of blank at this level is, we are confused.
[SPEAKER_09]: Any clarity would be appreciated.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's pretty good.
[SPEAKER_09]: And also, you know what?
[SPEAKER_09]: But it still was on the public thread and then it started in the S storm.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: The supervisor, one guy said, call me and then I said, I called and then it was just a thing and then it went away as quickly as it started.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't have the ship as you know to just let it go.
[SPEAKER_09]: I would this is a situation where I would love to be less of a confrontational and natural.
[SPEAKER_09]: I would love to, I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-
[SPEAKER_11]: Did you post it on your laptop or from your phone phone?
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay, so it was fresh in your mind.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_11]: So even one quarter of one percent of your brain, did you think about this could be trouble?
[SPEAKER_11]: No.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay, so you were red hot.
[SPEAKER_11]: And you were red hot.
[SPEAKER_09]: I was in a couple of parents where some parents said, it doesn't matter.
[SPEAKER_11]: Did you get any support and under it?
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, that's the one from one other parent.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, but I get that too.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't blame them.
[SPEAKER_09]: I wouldn't get into the fray.
[SPEAKER_09]: I wouldn't deal with it and you didn't know what it resulted in.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's a meeting.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hey everyone, what are you now?
[SPEAKER_09]: There's a parent meeting on Saturday with the coaches.
[SPEAKER_09]: You better bring donuts because people are not there.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm not doing it on there.
[SPEAKER_09]: I already talked to the, I talked to the main Puba.
[SPEAKER_09]: We had a very nice conversation.
[SPEAKER_11]: You should send a video statement.
[SPEAKER_09]: But I see I just I didn't want to be I can't I know I can't I know you can't I just God it's ridiculous I have railed against parents that take it too seriously yeah and I and now it's just you're not you're not fault for
[SPEAKER_09]: That may sound like a benign post, right?
[SPEAKER_09]: And it was kind of a benign, but at the same time, just shut up, Mike, just this is me talking to me.
[SPEAKER_09]: That because you know what?
[SPEAKER_09]: Ultimately, this is not for anybody else.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is for me.
[SPEAKER_09]: I will feel better if I shut the F up.
[SPEAKER_09]: I will be better if I just let the moment pass and your style, not your style.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, but I sometimes my style look.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, when you said that it was a benign post, if a post is ostensibly benign like that, don't bother with it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Let it go.
[SPEAKER_11]: If it's something important.
[SPEAKER_11]: New what I was talking about.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, you hit.
[SPEAKER_11]: You fired something benign and it hit in the dead center.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Because all of a sudden I get everybody getting involved.
[SPEAKER_11]: And you didn't answer before because I know we were all.
[SPEAKER_09]: But apparently they're the this whole thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's it's like got there some issues here issues there.
[SPEAKER_09]: Not just this particular day yesterday, but I don't know.
[SPEAKER_09]: I still think that you know when he's 18.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is not going to be relevant at all, you know, because you'll be planning your service.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, for no more than most, right?
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm not going to be around.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're going to have to do one final question.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_11]: Did any listeners jump in and stir it up?
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, because when I say public, I mean, it was on the thread for their thread.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay, all the, I thought it was on your wall.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, that would you know what, that shows, that shows logic.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's good.
[SPEAKER_09]: You weren't red hot because you didn't put it out for the world, but it's bothered me into today, not because of anything that happened that anybody else, let it go, man.
[SPEAKER_09]: If you were just, I did shot your mouth, shot your mouth.
[SPEAKER_11]: If you make a way of listening, then then it was bad.
[SPEAKER_09]: And by the way, I don't give a damn how legit it is.
[SPEAKER_09]: It might very well be legit.
[SPEAKER_09]: I would say if you said was it was an a legit feeling of frustration.
[SPEAKER_09]: 100% of was still Mike, I'm talking to Mike.
[SPEAKER_09]: Shut up.
[SPEAKER_09]: OK.
[SPEAKER_09]: Shut up.
[SPEAKER_09]: OK. That's it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Who felt more frustrated at the time?
[SPEAKER_11]: You or J.D.
[SPEAKER_11]: Vance.
[SPEAKER_09]: They'd whisked me away yesterday.
[SPEAKER_09]: Anyway, we have to take a break.
[SPEAKER_09]: When we come back, we'll have tidbits ladies and gentlemen.
[SPEAKER_09]: I love these are presidential tidbits.
[SPEAKER_09]: I want to talk about what this is the absolute truth.
[SPEAKER_09]: When we got home yesterday from a baseball land, we threw some burgers again.
[SPEAKER_09]: I have been living on these burgers.
[SPEAKER_09]: It is amazing to me how these patties can go from freezer.
[SPEAKER_09]: to grittle to my belly and be so juicy and delicious.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm famous for my breakfast hamburgers.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, we talked about this last week.

[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you, Mr.
[SPEAKER_09]: Scholarship winner, it is true.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, I'm going nuts.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm a griddle man.
[SPEAKER_09]: And look, I know they don't have anything to do with that black stone that I got for, I think, Christmas room, my birthday last year.
[SPEAKER_09]: But the combination is absolutely fantastic.
[SPEAKER_11]: Would you call that black stone amazing?
[SPEAKER_11]: I, no, no, I'm not using black stone.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, because it's...
[SPEAKER_09]: propane, you know, burners under up.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, it's a hot cast on that grid and it's put, put man on man.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then when I found my little tent to put over the burgers, you know, you bring the tent into show us tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_09]: uh... it's nothing special robber's just a little tent yeah but i think america needs to know uh... i might like the mocking me i'm not i want to see i love a mic when it's food i always hear the california man arrested in the shooting at the uh... what ask or responded to association dinner is a highly educated tutor and amateur video game developer opposed to the policies of president Donald trump
[SPEAKER_09]: 30 say Cole Thomas Allen of Torrance, California was taken into custody at the dinner Saturday night, a social media profile for a man with the same name and a photo that appears to match that of the suspect shows that he worked part time for the last six years at a company that offers admissions counseling and test preparation services to aspiring college students.
[SPEAKER_09]: In a message sent to family members minutes before the attack, the 31-year-old described himself as friendly federal assassin.
[SPEAKER_09]: Weird.
[SPEAKER_09]: He railed against recent actions taken by the U.S. government under Trump, though he did not name the Republican president directly.
[SPEAKER_09]: Authorities said Allen will face charges including using a firearm during a crime of violence and assault on a federal officer, as well as other potential counts, a search of state and federal court databases showed no indication Allen had ever previously been charged with a crime.
[SPEAKER_11]: But how about this?
[SPEAKER_11]: He has a sister that lives in Rockville, which is right outside of D.C. See, that's your little local knowledge.
[SPEAKER_11]: So there's your local knowledge coming in.
[SPEAKER_11]: And the entire family, it was concerned how radical he had become recently.
[SPEAKER_11]: So there probably were warning signs at least within his family and if he has any friends.
[SPEAKER_11]: But I just don't understand the chip that thinks what he was doing would help.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, you never know what somebody's going to do in their own brain and what causes somebody to become a monster and somebody to go full rad.
[SPEAKER_09]: But I think we have all experienced Rob, especially on this show, being someone who's on the left.
[SPEAKER_09]: people that can have dialogue and people that are just filled and consumed with pure hatred.
[SPEAKER_09]: It can happen on both sides.
[SPEAKER_11]: And the extremist of that is that you know that somewhere in his mind, he thought there are so many people in the world right now that I'm going to be a hero.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, I don't know what he thinks.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know what he's got that one.
[SPEAKER_11]: I have to assume there's some of it, but I mean, you're right.
[SPEAKER_11]: You can't say it because you don't know it.
[SPEAKER_11]: I look forward to seeing more about this guy, because it was just so totally, it was so totally unexpected.
[SPEAKER_09]: At the end of the day, we can only, you know, say thanks that there was nobody that was killed.
[SPEAKER_09]: And, you know, wishes for the Secret Service wounded, the member of the Secret Service that was wounded for a speedy recovery.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: in the same.
[SPEAKER_09]: We leave, we live in chaos.
[SPEAKER_09]: We really do.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay, don't you wish we had that ballroom?
[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Don't grow.
[SPEAKER_09]: They'll appreciate that you put that in there.
[SPEAKER_09]: According to researchers at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, and the University of Arizona, in 2005, this goes back a little far, but I think it's relevant to today.
[SPEAKER_09]: We spoke about 16,632 words every day in 2005.
[SPEAKER_09]: But by 2019 that number had fallen to 11,900 words, that is a 20% 28% decrease for some reason the study didn't have data more recent than that.
[SPEAKER_09]: But the thinking is that even fewer words are spoken now, post pandemic.
[SPEAKER_11]: I can explain it if you want.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's that we went from a four-hour show to a one-hour show.
[SPEAKER_09]: I was good.
[SPEAKER_09]: I thought you were going to bring your points into it for some particular reason.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Would you like to speak to her?
[SPEAKER_09]: 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_11]: But I am, of course, just be like Jay Leno and move on to your next question without listening.
[SPEAKER_09]: By the way, you formulate the response to your physical reaction about all that takes about 200 milliseconds to do that.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's a lot slower for me.
[SPEAKER_09]: These interpersonal skills are important to learn development master each year.
[SPEAKER_09]: People under 25 lost an average of 451 words a day.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think I got there.
[SPEAKER_09]: No vision.
[SPEAKER_09]: Those devices.
[SPEAKER_11]: I can't tell you about screen time bluster.
[SPEAKER_09]: Those older than 25 lost 314 words a day.
[SPEAKER_09]: That could be because older adults are more used to talking in certain situations and using less technology.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's true.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, drive my 12 year old around if he's got a phone in his hand and try to have a conversation.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, you can't see it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Because that's it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Some experts say our shortened attention spans might also make it harder to hold a conversation and that could eat into itself if you consider the attention spans could be decreasing because we're having fewer conversations and I do believe that is the dummy of America.
[SPEAKER_11]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_11]: And we talked last week about being engaged on this show.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I think that you and I are both totally engaged at all times, it's hard to have a conversation, even the smallest of small talk, with someone who is not engaged in it, so that distraction of the phone or anything like that, it's going to decrease it.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I don't like it.
[SPEAKER_11]: I still call people on the phone, not you.
[SPEAKER_11]: But I still do call people on the phone,
[SPEAKER_09]: And I, I love talking on the phone.
[SPEAKER_11]: I know you do.
[SPEAKER_11]: And now what, you open your phones every night at about 8 p.m. And you can call him.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, make the circuit.
[SPEAKER_11]: 1 8 8 8 Ask Mike.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, we've talked about a lot of big news stories.
[SPEAKER_09]: I didn't even get to the red socks blown out their whole coaching step.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is a real news story.
[SPEAKER_09]: great.
[SPEAKER_09]: A class action lawsuit alleges that Trader Joe's sold customers coffee with significantly less caffeine than expected.
[SPEAKER_09]: Man, start calling him Trader Joe with a T. This is just one product.
[SPEAKER_09]: Trader Joe's branded French rose low acid whole bean coffee.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hey, I'm low ass, but I'm whole beam.
[SPEAKER_09]: Apparently has half the caffeine of typical coffee blends, and it doesn't mention anything about reduced caffeine on the container.
[SPEAKER_09]: They do have other D-caf coffee.
[SPEAKER_09]: Those are marked.
[SPEAKER_09]: The complaint says quote.
[SPEAKER_09]: It is so common that it is now cliche that coffee drinkers depend on the caffeine contained therein to provide them with the energy they need to get through the day and the amount of caffeine does affect a consumer's purchasing decision.
[SPEAKER_11]: It does.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's like, you know, when you go to a brewery, this was some years ago for me, and they put the percentages up.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm faster to try a 6.0 beer than a 2.5 beer, and I think that's about caffeine, isn't it?
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, it is, the suit is seeking unspecified damages and they also want the misleading product to be removed from shelves, Trader Joe's hasn't commented, they're hiding in the house.
[SPEAKER_09]: Trader Bunker.
[SPEAKER_11]: I have never been to a Trader Joe's.
[SPEAKER_09]: I have, and too much frozen product.
[SPEAKER_11]: I see.
[SPEAKER_09]: In my humble opinion too much too much frozen for everything's frozen.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's not to see it's but they have a lot of stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: You want my old man take on it?
[SPEAKER_09]: I do.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's fancy frozen hippie food.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's what it is.
[SPEAKER_09]: But don't think I'd cook it.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's I don't care.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's fancy frozen hippie food.
[SPEAKER_11]: Where are you shopper?
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't want, I don't want my soy sauce, Lama beans, frozen.
[SPEAKER_11]: Do you have your wife, Harriet, make them from scratch?
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, there's just, it's, you look, either like it or you don't.
[SPEAKER_09]: A lot of people swear by it, I think it's fantastic.
[SPEAKER_11]: Not a lot of people know it's owned by Jordan.
[SPEAKER_09]: We talked about the new movie about Michael Jackson's life.
[SPEAKER_09]: It made $97 million over the weekend giving Michael the biggest opening of all time for a biopic about that.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's still got it.
[SPEAKER_09]: The previous record was held by Oppenheimer, which opened with 82.4 million during the summer of Barb in the Heimer back in July of 23.
[SPEAKER_09]: in darker news a family that had previously defended Michael during a 2010 interview on Oprah has suddenly reversed course and laid their own abuse allegations against him.
[SPEAKER_09]: How convenient this weekend they did that?
[SPEAKER_09]: I think they want some attention back in 2010, while Dominic and Connie Casio were doing press tours the year after May and we got to do it the press tour.
[SPEAKER_11]: Is it so good?
[SPEAKER_09]: I think it's not Casio, I think it's Casio.
[SPEAKER_09]: Casio, okay, my bad.
[SPEAKER_09]: uh... they were doing prestars they describe themselves as michael's second family but now they claim that he abused four of their five kids well what would that be the kids getting older and just uh... i mean with that there was there was a kid in the middle that was really ugly
[SPEAKER_09]: they're supposedly uh... worked out a secret deal with the jackson's to the tuna oh here it is that's why they supposedly worked out a secret deal with the jackson's to the tune of sixteen million dollars in hush money years ago but the new york times says they stopped getting paid last year so now they've gone public and filed a lawsuit what a nice family
[SPEAKER_11]: I want to arrange a $60 million hush money, but shush is a secret.
[SPEAKER_11]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, thanks, still.
[SPEAKER_09]: Would you not still be curious to see what they have to say?
[SPEAKER_11]: I would.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'd like to know what they think about the shooting.
[SPEAKER_09]: Journalism.
[SPEAKER_09]: You've probably seen that cover of the W magazine with Rihanna holding her daughter Rocky.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, Jonah Hill was interviewed about his favorite many memory of Riri.
[SPEAKER_09]: Since they shared this, this is the end, that movie together.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: He says after they did the movie, he ran into her at a butt.
[SPEAKER_09]: And by the way, is it Rai Rai Riri?
[SPEAKER_09]: re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re
[SPEAKER_09]: It's so stoned that she pooped her pants.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, that's nice.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's high.
[SPEAKER_11]: Now we're Jonah complaining or bragging.
[SPEAKER_09]: But not quite sure.
[SPEAKER_09]: Have you had enough gummies where you would poop your pants at all?
[SPEAKER_11]: Mike, there is no harmful side effect that I have seen from the soul out of office gummies.
[SPEAKER_11]: All they do is they make me feel great.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I can say this.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm Mike Omerin.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't need weed to help me poop my pants.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's right, and if you want to talk to Mike about that tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern, 1-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-
[SPEAKER_09]: in the middle lane of a highway, Kimberly had apparently gotten hammered at twice the legal limit and then hopped into her Tesla, which autopilot on, thinking that it would get her home safely on its own.
[SPEAKER_09]: We've discussed this with your friends with his Tesla all the time.
[SPEAKER_09]: Probably.
[SPEAKER_09]: Press a button and maybe it drives your home.
[SPEAKER_09]: Let me see what happened here.
[SPEAKER_09]: It didn't happen in this case.
[SPEAKER_09]: there are monitors in self-driving cars like this that ensure your alert and following along.
[SPEAKER_09]: We've talked about that.
[SPEAKER_09]: We've got your eyes on the road.
[SPEAKER_11]: You earned that by, you know, safe driving.
[SPEAKER_11]: You, you, there's like a, a scale system.
[SPEAKER_09]: So she may have it out.
[SPEAKER_09]: She was not responding.
[SPEAKER_09]: So the vehicle shut itself down right in the middle of the road.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now, wouldn't you think that if it was a smart vehicle, it would maybe pull off to at least the side, the shoulder, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Detectives are still investigating the incident, determining where Kimberly was coming from, and why she decided to get behind the wheel, it's pretty obvious that she's looking at DUI charges at the very least.
[SPEAKER_09]: Another Tesla news that has now been proven that a Tesla cannot cure a respiratory infection.
[SPEAKER_09]: Being suffered by our executive producer, he did not get the inhaler option.
[SPEAKER_09]: Did he have any of the grip when you were, uh, you know, together at the, no, but I, I saw him last, like, at four o'clock on Saturday.
[SPEAKER_11]: So it's been a while.
[SPEAKER_11]: So he could, it could have been, maybe he had it and it hadn't manifested.
[SPEAKER_09]: Maybe it's just too much weekend.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I said it was a very thrilling weekend for you Josh too much weekend.
[SPEAKER_09]: We'll take a break when we come back.
[SPEAKER_09]: We have more thrills and more fun I want to talk about one of our all-time favorite asses David Lee Roth.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're gonna love this.
[SPEAKER_09]: I can't wait.
[SPEAKER_09]: We'll love
[SPEAKER_09]: be right back ladies.
[SPEAKER_09]: Here's a quick message from today's sponsor.
[SPEAKER_09]: The ASPCA pet health insurance program.
[SPEAKER_09]: If you've ever owned a pet, you know they run on their own logic.
[SPEAKER_09]: Jump first, think later.
[SPEAKER_09]: Ask questions, never.
[SPEAKER_09]: I've got dogs.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I know this is true.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's part of what makes them so lovable.
[SPEAKER_09]: But it's also how you end up with those surprise vet visits you didn't see coming.
[SPEAKER_09]: ASPCA Pet Health Insurance helps cover eligible vet expenses.
[SPEAKER_09]: So when those moments happen, you can focus on getting them the care they need without overthinking the cost or second guessing your decision.

[SPEAKER_09]: This is a paid advertisement, insurance is underwritten by either Independence American Insurance Company or United States Fire Insurance Company and produced by PTC Insurance Agency Limited.
[SPEAKER_09]: The ASPCA is not an insurer and is not engaged in the business of insurance.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, I'm not the biggest fan of that guy port me.
[SPEAKER_09]: The port noise, the pizza guy, you know, but we are simpotico when it comes to his analysis on my beloved Boston Red Sox.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think the problem was not necessarily with the coaching staff or the manager, but the way the team's constructed.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I agree with the port noise when he talks about John Henry, the owner of the Red Sox, not showing up for the press conference after this, just getting out of town.
[SPEAKER_09]: He is detached.
[SPEAKER_09]: He is aloof and he's a pain in the ass.
[SPEAKER_11]: He does John Henry have any fans in Boston.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, is he like for any one?
[SPEAKER_09]: Now, he sees definitely not.
[SPEAKER_09]: He used to be, right?
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, I think the organization was very popular, because they brought money in, and they brought money into Family Park, and they brought money into the Red Sacks, and they, you know, got a championship, and they were engaged, and there seems to be less engagement over the last few years, and that frustrates people, and it really does, because Boston is a baseball town.
[SPEAKER_09]: First and foremost, that's what they love.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it's frustrating, we will see what happens, but yeah, Alex Korra and a bunch of his coaches got blown out over the weekend and I blame Josh.
[SPEAKER_09]: I do too.
[SPEAKER_09]: We'll talk with Josh about that tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_11]: I understand most of the people that were fired got sick over the weekend.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think respiratory infection could make the dinner brief.
[SPEAKER_09]: Check out by the way, check on him after the show.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't like him.
[SPEAKER_09]: I did.
[SPEAKER_11]: What I did is I hit him with a corsage pin and he flinched.
[SPEAKER_11]: So that's good.
[SPEAKER_09]: Good.
[SPEAKER_09]: You can feel.
[SPEAKER_09]: David Lee Roth, you've told me you told me earlier this morning.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is something that I will enjoy.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, yeah, he is one of the noted asses.
[SPEAKER_09]: We found that out way back when he was touring with Sammy Hagar, and we went backstage to drink a tequila shot with Sammy.
[SPEAKER_09]: And the way it was laid out, they had separate entrances.
[SPEAKER_09]: They actually had them separated by plywood.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, not even hyper drape it was like plywood like a whole way.
[SPEAKER_09]: So they didn't because they were touring together, but they were performing separately and they want to have that and that's when we kind of be became aware of the fact that David Lee Roth was a little prickly, you know,
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, strictly is not the word he is self-important to an amazing and I am not and you know I should be I'm at the perfect age.
[SPEAKER_11]: I was 13 when 1984 came out loved their hit singles Love David Lee Roth back in the day when he had long hair and he was cool and he didn't look like an old neighbor of yours And not yours of anybody just like a good neighbor You can say mine so he says he finally feels rich
[SPEAKER_11]: Why does David Lee Roth feel rich?
[SPEAKER_11]: Because he sold his publishing catalog, but he won't reveal for how much.
[SPEAKER_11]: The AP posted some sound bites.
[SPEAKER_11]: Let's look at David Lee Roth.
[SPEAKER_11]: Not looking much like a rock and roll or any more.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think we made that audience feel expensive, okay?
[SPEAKER_07]: And if I do it right,
[SPEAKER_07]: All the women walk out of here feeling eminently desirable.
[SPEAKER_07]: Here regardless of structure or format, all the guys feel like the truck could hit him and hope I didn't hurt your truck.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think he's fooling everybody with that haircut.
[SPEAKER_11]: What do you mean that he's so bald, oh my god, you think that's fake hair.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I think a lot of it is come forward.
[SPEAKER_11]: Also, Mike, I forgot one of the better things.
[SPEAKER_11]: This was probably four or five years ago when he and a video crew for some reason busted into like a party in a hotel room.
[SPEAKER_11]: And no one in the hotel room knew who he was.
[SPEAKER_09]: Do you know what I just realized?
[SPEAKER_09]: I think because it's a darker color, some of the listeners might not have been banged in there.
[SPEAKER_09]: But if you're watching a video, I have my collar like old man for a half ago.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, you're twisted under?
[SPEAKER_09]: I did.
[SPEAKER_09]: I had it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Anyway, speaking of old men.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: What is he saying?
[SPEAKER_11]: What is his point?
[SPEAKER_11]: I, you know, I've watched it five times.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_11]: I play it one more time.
[SPEAKER_09]: I want to just look at him.
[SPEAKER_11]: He's saying he put, well, I'm going to play you the second clip, too.
[SPEAKER_11]: But let's see this.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm sorry to let you wait for right.
[SPEAKER_07]: All the women walk out of here feeling eminently desire a little.
[SPEAKER_07]: eminently.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh listen how he says desirable.
[SPEAKER_07]: There's almost no consonants in it.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're feeling eminently desire a little.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_07]: They regard list of structure or format.
[SPEAKER_07]: All the guys feel like the truck could hit him.
[SPEAKER_07]: The idiot from the associated press says right.
[SPEAKER_07]: He doesn't know what he's saying.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: How about that?
[SPEAKER_07]: I hope I didn't hurt your truck.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, so on to the sale of kind of choosing, I'm not sure what he, but he, you know, he's a word salad guy.
[SPEAKER_09]: I always ask him, right?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, and you know, so many people have sold their catalogs for millions and millions and millions of dollars.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_07]: This is...
[SPEAKER_07]: Eastern European.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, now it's talking about the chords.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're not rockin'.
[SPEAKER_07]: Signing about the chords.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're closer to opera.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're closer to legitimate theater.
[SPEAKER_07]: And Eddie and I wrote all the songs.
[SPEAKER_07]: I wrote everything I sang.
[SPEAKER_07]: Every note that I sang, every word, all the titles.
[SPEAKER_07]: I stacked the harmonies.
[SPEAKER_07]: That was my job.
[SPEAKER_07]: If you're singing it, Roth was bringing it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Eddie and I were both trained by forearm.
[SPEAKER_07]: from Eastern European teachers, very famous non-smilers, that if you got it wrong, they'd smash the music off the table, okay for me it was saxophone for Eddie, it was piano.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now, okay, now there's a thought.
[SPEAKER_09]: See, that intrigues me, right there.
[SPEAKER_09]: Because whether you like the guy or not, right, you can't argue with the music and the musicianship of the Van Hale.
[SPEAKER_09]: You can't.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, when I hear that, as much as I can't get by the whole self-serving, self-important, literally rock, I am fascinated where they truly, in the same group of,
[SPEAKER_09]: Lessons did they still I mean I don't know what he thought I thought about Sally guy.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'd love to know who taught Eddie Had a play piano, you know, I I thought about this and it occurs to me when he takes credit for writing all the words and the stacking in the sound of Van Halen Then why didn't he have any hit records per se after he left Van Halen?
[SPEAKER_09]: He had one that I can just to jiggle though
[SPEAKER_11]: And well, that's in our eye cast by now, he is not right that he didn't write that and then he wrote just like paradise was a hit but you know Van Halen hit after hit after hit right and he's become a bunch line also like I realized in this one he talks just a little bit like Wayne Newton
[SPEAKER_07]: into him one sound block cords.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're not rock and roll.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're closer to opera.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're closer to legitimate theater and Eddie and I wrote all the songs at the synth as we wrote all the songs.
[SPEAKER_09]: I wish I did.
[SPEAKER_09]: If you if you bring it raw throat it yeah thank you thank you so very much.
[SPEAKER_11]: The women was they don't hit my truck.
[SPEAKER_09]: By the way, he was an interview in Rome's backyard.
[SPEAKER_11]: I was going to say it looks like something in a close.
[SPEAKER_07]: Let's say he in teachers.
[SPEAKER_07]: Very familiar.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now let's move to where he comes into it.
[SPEAKER_07]: You got a room.
[SPEAKER_07]: We all say, you know how to try anything once.
[SPEAKER_07]: unusual for here.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'll try anything nine or 12 times because it's usually around number 10 or 11 that the shoe starts to fit right or the elbows looking better curve wall starts dropping a little better
[SPEAKER_07]: He's horrifying to look at, and then the repetition.
[SPEAKER_07]: Like a monster.
[SPEAKER_07]: That Spartan repetition, six to one, 20 to one.
[SPEAKER_07]: But the only way that you can really trigger that without turning yourself into, you know, this is a job, like anything else.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, it is.
[SPEAKER_07]: I've had other jobs.
[SPEAKER_07]: This is not a career.
[SPEAKER_07]: We tell our parents that this is a career to shut them up.
[SPEAKER_09]: At this end, okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: Here's the weird thing about me and David Lee Roth.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm listening to him.
[SPEAKER_09]: And he he'll throw me a tidbit.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's interesting.
[SPEAKER_09]: But then he won't expand on that career.
[SPEAKER_09]: That career comment is kind of cool for people in show business, you know, I feel the same way when you say career, you know, I have a careerist a doctor, a careerist, a lawyer.
[SPEAKER_09]: When you talk about people in show business,
[SPEAKER_09]: And it's like a whole different acting is a craft.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, yeah, I hate that.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's self-important language.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I'd ever believed in self-important language.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think it's smug, and I think it's arrogant when people do that, you know?
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, Mike, we're clowns.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're strict as we try to make people laugh a couple of times a day.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's what we do, right?
[SPEAKER_11]: If you're singing it, TMOS is bringing you a cry.
[SPEAKER_11]: But also he taught he won't reveal how much he sold his publishing for now just some statistics to entertain you.
[SPEAKER_11]: Bruce Springsteen sold his publishing for $500 million.
[SPEAKER_11]: Bob Dylan for $300 million.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: Sting for $300 million.
[SPEAKER_11]: If he was anywhere close to spitting distance from the neighborhood of that money, he'd be screaming how much he got.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: But he won't say how much he got.
[SPEAKER_11]: He won't.
[SPEAKER_11]: And look, I'm guessing it's the same deal that they gave those that family from Michael Jackson.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I was, and I know I disagree.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think the majority, I think the majority of people are Van Halen people.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm a Van Hagar guy.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, like Van Halen when they were fronted by Sammy Hagar and I don't know if I'm in the majority of that because the biggest hits were, you know, I'll stop at shot is that Sammy Hagar calling to say thank you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Sorry, that's me now.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, I, you know, I saw, I saw Van Hagar and they were good, but when I listen back to the records,
[SPEAKER_09]: I like the keyboards on Van Hager.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's what I like the more on that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I like the sound of it.
[SPEAKER_09]: I like Eddie on the keyboards.
[SPEAKER_09]: I like that.
[SPEAKER_11]: But I just think if you listen back to the albums, you're going to want to, you're going to want to listen to Van Haler and especially 1984.
[SPEAKER_11]: What is stunning record?
[SPEAKER_11]: So, but anyway, good for you for telling all of your rights for 80 bucks.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right, when we come back, I want to get your presence open and I want you to talk about the the the trap dukes thing that you guys went through over a weekend and ask you, you know, the only question I really have, I'll ask that when we, when we come back on the um, Michael Mary's show, take it away, please.

[SPEAKER_09]: Let me play it home.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, that's it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, it's a pirate song.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, I don't know why I put that in my soundboard.
[SPEAKER_11]: I know why because you listen to it a lot.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, yeah, if you're hearing it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, Mara wrote it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, he's bringing it.
[SPEAKER_09]: by the way, I will take no credit for writing silly little lyrics to AI written songs that is done by a machine because I heard you were going to sign.
[SPEAKER_11]: I heard you were going to sell your publishing.
[SPEAKER_09]: No.
[SPEAKER_09]: Anyone can rhyme.
[SPEAKER_11]: Period, end of story, and I stacked the harmonies and it's AI.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's great.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now, I do not know what happened over the weekend.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm like some other cast members on this show over the years.
[SPEAKER_09]: I do not have spies.
[SPEAKER_09]: So you are my only connection to this.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I want I if in I'm desperate you know me I love I love to not get happy.
[SPEAKER_09]: So if you I hope that there's something did you went to what did you go to?
[SPEAKER_11]: It was another show for Chad always a Chad was launching a new beer at Fairwins brewery, which is near Lorton
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay, we're doing it and I think was there a live show there there was there was like a not a meet and greet up front just sort of like you know some cocktail action and people drinking beer then a live show They they opened another room where the live show was there was a stage in chairs and then I left after that, but it was my understanding that they were going to be left after the live show
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, that they were going to because Mike, there's not a lot for me to do it a brewery.
[SPEAKER_09]: And yeah, guess you kind of want to execute yourself from that situation.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, and I mean, I understand that the show regulators were going to meet and greet and a mingle after the show.
[SPEAKER_11]: I did get a chance to talk to Chad, of course, Chad's wife is great.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'd met her before there's score.
[SPEAKER_11]: Um, goat was there.
[SPEAKER_11]: William still well.
[SPEAKER_11]: Mike, buddy, sat next to him.
[SPEAKER_11]: Great kid really good dirty.
[SPEAKER_02]: I remember I got talking to him.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, it was it was crazy and just so many nice people to run in it who and and talk to it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Did anybody?
[SPEAKER_09]: Anybody see how to me?
[SPEAKER_11]: a lot of people, Mike, I know this will disappoint you.
[SPEAKER_11]: Almost everyone that I talked to in the in the pre-show like cocktail area, they all said, have listened to you and Mike forever, still love the show.
[SPEAKER_11]: You guys are in the arenas.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's because they were off.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, it's not going to piss you off.
[SPEAKER_09]: Nothing was set publicly to the only feelings.
[SPEAKER_11]: Chad, when he did the show, he introduced me from the stage and I was in the audience and I waved and he said, that's Rob Spuac, the star of the Rob Spuac show, featuring Mike O'Bare.
[SPEAKER_11]: that's funny and I can't get me that damn it and I'll reveal this the big gag was that he's got on his show I think a hundred people because half of the live show I kept leaning over to go and saying what's the deal with this guy what's this what's an entourage right it is a very long drive an entourage that's the part of the charm and I know a couple people that are part of his show and I
[SPEAKER_11]: The big thing was they all took an IQ test.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, that's right.
[SPEAKER_09]: And Josh took one, right?
[SPEAKER_11]: Josh, I would have bet my house, especially after watching the show.
[SPEAKER_11]: I would have bet my house that Josh was going to have the top score.
[SPEAKER_11]: He did not.
[SPEAKER_11]: He came in third, third of how many?
[SPEAKER_11]: I think, 12 or 16.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: But, I mean, and also, I mean, I do think there might have been a couple of people in double digits.
[SPEAKER_11]: And that's fine.
[SPEAKER_11]: But Josh, it's a tough one.
[SPEAKER_09]: You can't really remember, I know you don't know everybody associated with that show.
[SPEAKER_09]: But you know, always emphasizing the negative, do you happen to know who brought up the
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I think it was one of the guys that sits on stage and smiles a lot.
[SPEAKER_11]: I forget me for not knowing your name.
[SPEAKER_11]: All right, let's, let's open your presence there.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, this is my, first one I want to show is this is comes from a great list of stages.
[SPEAKER_07]: Smile to a lot.
[SPEAKER_11]: He smiled a lot.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's so wonderful.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: I got a beautiful sympathy card from a listener named Philip Layton, and he's given enough lots of gifts in the past.
[SPEAKER_11]: A lot of carved wood stuff he made for Josh, the podcasters warehouse sign that is really cool, but he remembered about my dad and wrote a beautiful sympathy card, and that's nice, but the gesture that matters is when he found out that Kerry cancelled my cue in Amazon,
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, that's the one that she vetoed, right?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I had ordered it in the cover.
[SPEAKER_09]: Can I see that again?
[SPEAKER_09]: That's a pretty, that is real.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's the boy.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, now I know that you get excited when you see something like that.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's going to be awesome.
[SPEAKER_11]: I haven't even listened to it yet because sometimes in my life, I like to have something to look forward to.
[SPEAKER_09]: Just to you ever have the desire to keep that in the shrink wrap and not touch it to have done that with a couple of Elvis releases.
[SPEAKER_11]: Ultimately, I know that stuff will carry shirt and won't touch her back when I die, before she sells all my stuff.
[SPEAKER_11]: But God, that's so darn true.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's true.
[SPEAKER_11]: Very dark.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_11]: Which is why, and you know what, I don't think I've announced this yet.
[SPEAKER_11]: The executor of my will is Robert because he's the fairest guy I know.
[SPEAKER_11]: And so, how, that's, how things going up there.
[SPEAKER_11]: Swel.
[SPEAKER_09]: She was house sitting for much of the weekend.
[SPEAKER_09]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right.
[SPEAKER_11]: So is that but anyway, no, there's one more, but I do keep some stuff in plastic, but as a rule, if I buy an album, I listen to it.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's what they're for.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's no pleasure in just looking at it.
[SPEAKER_11]: You get it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Mike, you know what this is?
[SPEAKER_11]: That's my fun drawer.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, but the problem with this little house is fun drawer.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, you've been through it with all the sound effects in it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Now it's a shelf, but it used to be a drawer.
[SPEAKER_11]: It makes the good noise.
[SPEAKER_11]: But you hear it's running out of juice.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: So it sounds like Rudolph's nose.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, like the Rudolph nose.
[SPEAKER_11]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_11]: But anyway, this is not going to last forever.
[SPEAKER_11]: But Philip Layton says, you know, you need something better.
[SPEAKER_11]: So he gave me super terrific Timo Airhorn that works with a plunger.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, so that doesn't require any gas.
[SPEAKER_11]: No.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know if this will carry as loud as it is in real life because there are some limitters on my microphone.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, god damn it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Stop it.
[SPEAKER_11]: But check this out and this is just me hitting this.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is just me hitting this plunger at the bottom.
[SPEAKER_09]: it's it's it's it's you need you need you need the toxic gas you need the toxic gas But anyway, I mean don't you think really just having the trigger mechanism that's just a little bit too much I don't know.
[SPEAKER_11]: I I think I like it Just and it's forever Mike right forever I get it.
[SPEAKER_09]: I totally get it.
[SPEAKER_11]: I understand broke, but I will put it back to get it really.

[SPEAKER_09]: I don't think I've ever been in there.
[SPEAKER_09]: I want to see it.

[SPEAKER_09]: That's a that's a cherry flavored soda pop.
[SPEAKER_11]: Sort of yeah, I mean, you know, cherry when it's not a real cherry doesn't taste like a cherry.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it's, but it's just got this distinctive cherry-ish flavor.
[SPEAKER_11]: And also it's one of the best diet sodas out there.
[SPEAKER_11]: If you have to have a sugarless soda, that's pretty good.

[SPEAKER_11]: But this guy is doing a tour of it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Madam to Sad Museum.
[SPEAKER_01]: I had never been to Madam to Sad before.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was really excited to see what it would be like.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was uniquely interactive and immersive experience that allows visitors to take a journey through the American history.
[SPEAKER_11]: What's that?
[SPEAKER_09]: Are you creeped up by that?
[SPEAKER_09]: I can see you get creeped up by wax music.
[SPEAKER_11]: A little bit, but I'm enjoying the narration so much more.
[SPEAKER_01]: And my lilies good, I like that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Motel 2-Sad is separated into six man exhibits.
[SPEAKER_01]: The president generally, the civil rights room, behind the scenes, the glamour room, their spokes is on, and finally the media room.

[SPEAKER_11]: One more clip from him because he really had a great time in our state capital.
[SPEAKER_11]: You think there you slept there.
[SPEAKER_11]: Our nation's capital in this man, he got it all done.

[SPEAKER_09]: Mike, are you from here in North Carolina with Pineville?
[SPEAKER_09]: I'd never have the pleasure.
[SPEAKER_11]: Pineville sounds like a lovely, lovely, but you call it a little hamlet.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's giving it all the best of it.
[SPEAKER_11]: And like any good town they've got a great Chinese restaurant, the China Queen.
[SPEAKER_11]: Ah, which is a buffet-style restaurant.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: All right.
[SPEAKER_11]: And maybe not go there after you see this.
[SPEAKER_11]: All right, go ahead.
[SPEAKER_11]: But also, 10 points for the outfit on the anchor man.
[SPEAKER_08]: Local Chinese restaurant is at the center of a viral social media post, making ways across the state.
[SPEAKER_08]: After police found evidence of roadkill being stored in the restaurant's freezer.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, Rob LePero has been looking into this, Rob.
[SPEAKER_08]: What have you found so far?

[SPEAKER_06]: Now I stop by the restaurant, the China Queen buffet, and speak with the owner, but they couldn't go on cam with me.
[SPEAKER_06]: However, I was able to get a sweep of the dining room, and it was largely empty.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was a busy lunch shower at the business plaza over in Pineville.
[SPEAKER_06]: As people had inside their local stores for groceries, but the China Queen buffet next to them had a polar opposite experience.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it all started with this social media post calling out a worker at the buffet for reportedly skinning roadkill in the back alley of the restaurant.
[SPEAKER_06]: Pineville police caught wind of that incident and began investigating.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, my god, it was found inside the restaurant's freezer, but that's not all this guy Officials more than just deer meat may have made it into this restaurant These are the dangers involved in meat found on in roadcills Well, the main thing is yeah, okay.
