This past weekend, yeah, you took some time away to actually get to the river and do some hunting with us, which was nice. It was fun, man. You know what was fun is the the hunt. Like we were seriously after one deer. We did all that we manly could. Could because it well not really we could have got out walked, but we did. I'm talking about when we couldn't make it up the hill. You said we could get out walk. I ain't doing that. Yeah, yeah, but I mean we did when we got to where we're going. Yeah, but I'm saying I'm gonna walk three miles in to go hunt. Yeah, that's crazy, ridiculous. But we had a great time. It was all was fun. We got to see some horns, got to try to get a better angle, all that stuff. So yeah, it was fun, enjoyed, and we I think we found the limits of our vehicles. Why. Yeah, you and I both had some nervousness to us. Yeah, there's a couple of mudslides. In there was that that bad? It's how and they have just everything's cold, but then there are points during the day where the sun hits a. Certain frozen tundra. Yeah, it just becomes treacherous slumpy tundra. Yeah. So anyway, this weekend, what did you do this weekend? You did finals and everything. Yes, I had three papers. I watched two little grimlins. They were not grimlins, No, they were actual angels. They did very good. Like our house. Your house is very nice. I was scared to touch anything. I think Marty, she decorates everything. Oh, yeah, you can. She's very at that decorating. Well, how do you know who she was? I just told you that you didn't think it was me, No, because you. Said you forgot to put up the wreaths. So like I just assumed that she had the touch she does. I was going to say she's touched. Trans palm tree. Of course, Marty knows way more than you when it comes to decorating. I'm not I get you. I guarantee you this has happened. You've put something up, she's taking it down. That's why I pushed the thing about the palm tree before. She could get It's in the basement in a corner. Yeah you didn't, you said you would recommend me if I was good? Did I do well? Oh? So if I can promote your services to anyone out there that wants to have their house sit in and dogs dogs watched, you did a great job. They didn't dogs didn't complain at all. Eh, pet sitting, I know I need to create one. Am I hope? I need? Your pets are alive when. As long as you don't have chickens, it's fine, okay, all right? This weekend, yeah, Christmas party stuff. I'm sure who's who's yours with? Dude? This this is not a joke. This starts tonight. Okay. Two butts get prepped and put in the smoker. Is this a pig?

Which they they have course at like seven o'clock on Tuesday, seven am, so she has to get up at six. It's rough anyway, that's all. I'm assuming you're Christmas partying too. Mud You wish filled every weekend for like six weekends in a row with Christmas parties. Okay, well thanks for giving me in trouble, but this one I'm skipping out on. The Roopers have a kick ass pajama Christmas party, which is always cool. I showed up Marty and I showed up with Trump pajama gear last year. Nice, so I haven't worn it again since. So I was ready to do that again just in case the rehash hat. But last time I was at Warren's he reminded me he hasn't been to the condo yet so for a weekend. So I'm leaving tomorrow to go to condo and then he and I go spend a few days done in Beaufort Nice. I forgot about that. Yeah, but I didn't mean that. I'm just saying back in the day, you were like, hey, what are you doing this weekend? Well, I'm going to such and such a Christmas party. Yeah, okay, I'm going to Christmas. I mean it was five weekends in a row you were going to a Christmas party. I mean, so, I'm like, really friends with you, I mean yours, Rupert's, French's, that's it. I don't there's no other people. Because when you were climbing the ladder, Yes, corporations, you used to do corporation Christmas parties. Possibly I did make I did get mad sometimes sometimes it's it's not my kind of people. Yeah, I just don't. Did you ever have an awkward moment at Christmas parties? A couple of times, any of them you can share. I think I remember one. I wasn't there. You told me about it, and it had nothing to do. It was over money, like a project. Well, there's one guy that I went to his party. I was just enjoying the party. I didn't even think any and he said something to me about I think he was upset because he was my client or whatever. I think he was upset about maybe paying me. I had no idea what the issue was, but he said something about being here and drinking his liquor. Yeah, that's the one I was referring. Yeah, and I was like, who does that? I'll never pour another drink of yours, dude. That's what are you talking about anyway? Jerk? Yeah. Not everybody's good and fun. No, all right, moving on, unless anybody's got anything else. Nope, I'm literally just dog sitting again. Moving on on this day in history, on this day, cut on history. And the Malling song, all these sitting. So in nineteen sixty seven, Otis Redding died in a plane crash. I did not know that. Yeah, over West, excuse me, dude. He is like, there's nothing better than Otis Redding. That dude can sing a song. Yep. And of course this was I would say, his most famous song. Yeah, have you heard of this song? Emma, mm hmm. That's I'm gonna let the crickets settle down first for this. It doesn't I mean, it doesn't matter where you are and that song comes on, it will give you an upbeat. Yes, note the doctor. So that was my watch time, go. W you. Mine? History is in nineteen oh one the Nobel Prizes started, and it was because mister Nobel, who had had all these funds, created a endowment and then after five years the endowment was enough where they could start giving out these awards for the Nobel Prizes. Nice. Do you know where he made his money? He was an inventor? No really yeah, T and T dynamite. Oh, no joke, the Nobel Peace Prize. Guys created dynamite. I mean, well, how ironic that is. I would tend to quiet down a party. Yeah. Interesting is crazy? Yeah, moving on to drama. None of you said my birthday for this day in history? Oh I had it written here. That gone it. There's two people Would was born on this day in history? And I went right past it to the Nobel Peace Prize. Fault. I'm going through it too quickly today. That's all right. No, I didn't give you the on this day. Would would fifteen years ago? What is his full name? Owen Would weathers oww he's just turned fifteen. He just just turned fifteen. I know he's gotten taller. Yeah. And then Emma was born what eighteen years ago? Twenty three? No. Yeah, I graduated college at the ripe age of eighteen. I'm that good. That's being nice. Were you born and raised Kimbell Kenton? I mean you've lived in the same house. I've lived in the same house for twenty of my twenty or twenty one years in Bedford County, and yeah, I live been good. You passed it, probably so every single day coming here. Why did you go to Brooklyll Because. My mom taught at JF a long time ago and she didn't like it that much, and my sister went to I have an older sister. She went to Brookville and she really liked the experience, so all of us went there. Did you play athletics at Brooklyn? Yeah? I was on the basketball dore we go again, and soccer team and the. Living somewhere else I was playing. Mm hmmm. Did you play for coach Warner? No? No, because he I played until my freshman year and then I was going to go to varsity and he frightened me. But then he quit, so it's fine, or he retired. He had a good run, now, yeah, he had a great run. No, I played soccer too. Let's see so what okay, so you uh, I have a cousin mm hmm Mike Foster. Yeah, Mike and Robert Foster. So I guess he would have been mister Foster to you. What was he? I think he teaches math, Yeah, pretty. Sure, I like vividly know the name, but I don't know. He talked track and field too. Yeah, didn't you have a child? A little baby? A baby? Here's a baby when I was in high school? Probably? Yeah, I think he left after that. No, No, he's there. I saw him recent. That's your cousin. Yeah, fascinating information. Yep. He was a football coach for a long time. Yeah, but he did retire from football coaching. So anyway, I was boring. Moving on, yep, Uh, drama. I've just been really keeping up with Landman. Got me in trouble again. Why because Marty is so upset with. Me because you won't watch it? Because I won't watch it, Marty, You're wrong. He's right. No, Trent is right in this one. Wait, why won't he watch it? Because he likes for it to be I want a shot gun? Yeah, I want to see one and another and another and another. I don't want to see they have to wait a week? Correct for Marty is right on this one. I mean you're well, why are you watching it? Uh? To spend time with my wife? Okay, it's just the one, the one show. We are not helping me at all. Literally, just hey, Trent's right watching Ashley. No, No, I'm sure you and her watch other Stuffykay, it's just Ashley watches Survivor and I'm not. I mean, I will watch it, but not Land. Man. We both really enjoyed. I will, but I want to. I don't want to. I like it too much. Yeah. So have you watched mob Bland? So ken, I didn't show you this, but my writing is Mobland top ten? Yes, it was so freaking good. We finished it last night. We did it in three nights. I had no idea because I just saw it right, and I'm like, well, this could be interesting from the get like most of them. If it doesn't get me the first episode or two, yeah, I'm like, I've got people that really want me to watch that. King Mayor of Kingstown is that what it's called. Yeah, I've seen that and I've not I'm like, but mob Land from the moment I started watching I was looked. The only thing I'll say about it is you six sensed me again because you sent me a clip and I waited. I was like, when is this clip coming? And of course it's the very end. Sure, I'm like, oh my god, I got all the way to the end and you sent me an end. Clip without giving it away. Did that surprise you when you found out on that phone call? Not really, I had no idea until then. No, Well they had already they had already alluded to that. Well I missed it then, okay, because I was. Like, yeah, I had no that was like almost in the first or second episode. What Yeah, they were talking about how the son met his wife. It was through his dad. That was actually discussed early. So that's why I had a little hunch about it. I missed that totally. Yeah. But oh it was so good. And I'm a Tom Hardy fan because of Peaky Blinders due that dude. I just love the way he goes about his business. Yeah, he's not gonna be su He's. Just he purts this thing to the Sopranos that I've seen since the Sopranos. Yes, it was really good. Very much. So Season two should be phenomenal. Of course, I do what we do. Looked up when season two comes out. It's until maybe twenty twenty six, likely twenty twenty seven. What Yeah, that's what I said, dude, what is does anybody work anymore? Whatever happens to? You have a season of shows, then you have a break during the summer, and the season of shows come back again in the fall. I don't get it. It's like they have just lazy. I'm telling you, I hate when it takes two years. That's which stupid, ridiculous. How long did we have to wait on land Man a year? Yeah, it's not too bad. No, but Yellowstone did it. They screwed up and waited like. Two you and then tell you it's coming and they don't. But I thoroughly enjoyed that. I've recommended it to a few people and we'll see how that comes out. Well, we need some recommendations because I'm running out of stuff. Well, Marty, there's the thing on Have you seen the thing with P Diddy? Yet? The documentary? I have not. I do want to watch that pe that documentary. I'm gonna watch that. But there's something when I'm on Netflix that looks pretty good Marty said, that's the next one we're going to watch, and I kind of want to watch the There's got to be a documentary coming out on the Clerk I'll find it here of the Murder All Murders. What about them, the clerk that screwed up everything on the Murdoch Murders. Oh, that's you're talking about something rumor. Oh no, no, no, no, she's that's not a rumor. Google, not like he's going to get out. Just quick, just put the clerk of the Murder All Murders. I'm pretty sure she is facing Yeah. If I'm not of the Murder all Am, you are the A U. G. H. By the way, by the way, I said, by the way, by the way, I love the songs right there. Scrap scroll up. She pled guilty in December, charges including obstruction of justice perjury showing evidence to a reporter. You don't think that's gonna be a They're not, no, just I'm not telling you that they're going to overturn the trial. Well, what I'm saying is a clark literally told the jury. That he was guilty. Oh, it is the same thing. So the at the end, what I have loved about my Bland. It reminds me of Peaky Blinder so much, and the sopranos and the fact that the music that they choose is so freaking strong and good for yes, and the end of that one of those episodes they play Johnny Cash The Beast in Me, which I forgot about that song. It makes me want to put it on my Spotify, which I will. But that's the name of this show that Marty wants us to watch next, The Beast in Me. I saw that, yeah, and I started to try to watch it. Yeah, is that actress? It's just so difficult to watch. Oh really, she's the one from Homeland. Yeah, that's what I thought. Claire Dames is it her name. I thought that might be good. I literally have gotten through the first five minutes, and I told you it's hard on if I can't, I just don't know yet. I'm on the edge on that one, and you may have pushed me to do it. Marty. Well, that's the next one, she says we have to watch. So I think Warren and I'll probably watch the p Diddy thing. But he watches. There's not one that I catch that he hasn't he thought he at since we're going this weekend and listen, we go out sometimes, but we're just as happy to sit in and have drinks and just catch up and bs. You know what I mean. He's college roommateing on that is to rewatch my bland. Oh yeah, like I literally could do it. Oh yeah, like the Sopranos. How many times do we watch the Sopranos? Well, why don't you binge watch the show we just talked about, beast. In me. Because because I'll get killed. I'm just kidding, I'll be killed. Calm down, I'm just kidding. Well, well, Uber eats lunch, Uber eats supper, and then we'll just watch back to back to back to back ten hours. Moving on. Yeah, news headlines, legacy media, the all truthful legacy media, ABC News. Yes, headline divided, Fed set to make decision on interest rate. I'll be damned, which he did in court another quarter percent. Yeah, but of course, you know he like for what people say that Trump, you know, trashes the Fed, blah blah blah. He takes his shots the Fed. He keeps saying, you know, economic data doesn't you know, doesn't show us moving in the right direction. It's like, dude, economic data has been phenomenal. Y'all keep saying it's bad. Who's he says, Jerome Powell. Oh, he spoke today on the interest right cut, I got you. However, he cautioned, Yeah, that the economy, the inflation hasn't cooled like we hoped. Now all these markers that he you know, and I'm seeing different. Do you know yesterday gas and I'm trying to remember where I was was two dollars and thirty cents. Wow, dude, I heard today national average for the first time, like, not at all during the Biden administration. So the last Trump administration, it's under nationally down below three dollars. Wow. And that catches up which, by the way, if you remember when inflation skyrocketed, Yes, it was the first thing that went up was because of gas prices, correct. And they tried to say it was because of the Russian invasion or the Russian stockpile. Remember they were loading up their people up against the border before they came across, Yes, and they called it the Russian stockpile. Is the reason that the inflation of the gas was going up. Well, then what happened right after gas went up? Yeah, and this is what I've said for a long time, gas is such an important indicator because subconsciously you drive by it every day. There is a sign with a price every day, and when you see it going up every day, it's subconsciously everything's got to go up. Yes, and so now likewise, when it goes down, this is about to be. This next year is the golden age has started? I agree one hundred percent. And here I go back to I want to say, twenty years ago. I think I remember Rush Limballs making this statement. You know, when you're in a good economy, when gas prices are lowered between Labor Day and Memorial Day, in our higher between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Right, if it's backwards, we're in a bad economy. And you know what, that's exactly what is happening now. We're gas prices are lowering when the peak season comes around in Memorial Day, the demand is high. It's the way it should be. It's when you know your economy is on it's on the path. Well, at the same time, you remember what they would do to try to lower it. They would steal from the strategic reserves. Yeah, and so it was that they played games with the market with that, Yeah. Begging other remember us begging. We went from criticizing the Saudis on everything to please. Please, please, big lower rate please. I mean Biden was pathetic. So if that makes tictom, I'm so glad he's gone. Amen. All right, Moving on CBS News. Yeah, judge blocks Trump from sending National Guard to LA. Now I put as it should read, judge denies safety of American citizens, Like that's the way it should read. Like again, I don't understand how they keep finding judges to just block. And how does the judge have the power to do that? Correct? And it's everyone knows the Feds oversee the States when it comes to enforcement. Correct, this will be overturned too. And then that was CBS News and then finally NBC News New York. Judge orders release of Epstein grand jury in the twenty nineteen case. Yeah, so looks like all this happened. Talk of Epstein is that once it all comes out of them, is there are going to be any stories? I don't know. I don't either. I'm just glad that they're doing it, so you don't have any excuses anymore. Well, I agree one hundred percent, and we'll talk about that. Some of the other stories that I think the Democrats create. We'll talk about that a little later in What's Happening, But that was your legacy media headline News brought to you by State. Farm Insurance in Bedford. I'm David Honeker, local State Farm Agent.

It's time for sports, right another fourth down conversion there fourth they go to a trick play, Taylor threw it back Tomorrows sid got. I suck good by love making. Two cats? Why the ice sing. Man? That's it off? College football playoffs chaos ensued after the end of that game, and I know listen, being a die hard Duke fan, it was riveting for me. Your die hard Duke, Oh love them. Don't listen to his I feel like depends on what sport you're talking about. We're talking about basketball. No, this is football. Okay, that's why it's great, That's why it's the lead. Got in all honesty, chaos. I literally asked for chaos, and that's what we got. You got it college football chaos ensued after that. Do you know how many ads when that happened right there just went. I again didn't send you the agenda, but here's what I wrote on this. What it's all going to change now? The NCAA's of course, and f the ACC. They literally made life so much harder than they had to. Oh. Yes, first off, all you had to do was put Miami in against Virginia and a lot of this would have been settled right off the bat. Correct. You wouldn't have had to force Miami to go in. Correct? It could have been one or the other. I agree, Yeah, it was idiot's Now I will say this, the Notre Dame ad shut up, and then another idiot. Just one criticizing the ACC. Yeah, for promoting another school, for promoting a school that yeah, why you don't shut up? Yeah, I mean just get out exactly. So, yes, sixteen teams is. I went back and looked, watched the episode with Aaron, and I had incorrectly said the sixteen team our preseason Yeah, a preseason expert, Aaron comes on. So I went back and watched that episode because I remembered screwing up, and I said, our sixteen team playoff and he said, well, it's still twelve. Yeah, this proves that they're going to sixty for sure. I don't know, and I don't agree with it. Yeah, I agree with what Nick Saban said. You pretty much got eight teams that have a legitimate shot and that's it. All this other stuff is just money. But I can see them mat they've got to fix the schedule first before anything. Don't you think you got to stop with the coaches leaving before the playoffs? All of that. The scheduling thing is horrible. Why would you have any transfer portal start it's done before the bowl games? Correct, until the ball games are done. I think people forget going back to last year, the Tennessee quarterback was already threatening Tennessee and by the way, he's hit the transfer portal again, no way, oh yes, And also by the way, Florida State was the worst. You remember, they didn't have anybody to even go to the bowl game? Correct, So it's all our family has been arguing with an internal group text back and forth, and my stance on that is, I agree with Notre Dame in Penn State and who's the other big one? Who else didn't go Florida State, Penn State. So I agree with those big schools not to go it only the only thing it can possibly do is harm you, is to go to a bowl game because you're going to get your ass whipped because half of your team has already entered the portal so they're not there to play, and then you show up and you get troused by some second tier team. So I wouldn't go either. And I think those bowl games are on the verge of I mean, it'll be UVA and tulanees and memphisis and Temple, you know what I mean. It's gonna be the lower tier teams that would ever play. They don't think you're going to see big teams go into these bowl games. I like the ASU coach, which, by the way, I brought that up today. How come his name is not all over the news? That either that guy's a great coach and young. Yeah. His his stance was his quarterback has entered the transfer portal. Yeah, and he said, I tell all my players, you're well, you can play in the bowl game, even if you're transferring out of here. This is this is our team this year. What you do next year is up to you. Yeah. But you know, and I now, how about the simple fix. As we just said, if you just waited until what January eighteenth, whenever, the day after the season is now you enter the portal. Now a kid has to show that he was good in the bowl game. Correct. But I also know how you fix that. They have to sign contracts. They don't get to get money and not play football. Yeah, that's got to stop. Yeah, so if they are under contract, they would have to play or give the money back. Yeah, you know that will go the We'll give the money back. Yeah. I saw quote you see about Troy Aikman. Troy Aikman says his one I guess dabbling with the NIL is he he wrote a sizeable check to U C l A. And the kid never played. Oh my god, he didn't play and he left after one year. He said, I never even got to thank you. So preseason picks, I told you, I went back and watched. I was curious, how good was Aaron? So Aaron got five out of the twelve. Right, But to Aaron's credit, I mean the ones that he missed out on were preseason picks that a lot of the other experts. Yeah, now, where he was great at, nobody had Texas Tech in he did, so he saw something at Texas Tech that nobody else did. What No, go ahead? So he was wrong on Tech Penn State. Wouldn't you say both of those were heavy favorites to be in the playoffs? Yes, Notre Dame, LSU, South Carolina in Illinois. So I'm looking at our fantasy league stats and I guess with his performance now, granted I'm owing fourteen. Oh my god, but. Zero, Baron is also eliminated from the playoffs. I mean, you know, what, if you're going to go down, go down hard. I mean that's what I say. Well, I think Jeff Rupert, who is does our play by play for basketball, maybe he should be our our expert next year. I'm not giving up Baron. Well, I mean you just said he's five of twelve. Yeah, I mean, how does that get you to come back. You had JMU and yours. Yeah, you had two lane in yours. Sure, I mean come on anyway. All right? Yeah, speaking of local or teams that you and I root for, UVA will take on Missouri and that's a game you don't care about. No, I love bowl games. I hate Wait did they already pick the Bowl games three years from now? There won't be a long time ago. They do it at the same time they release the playoffs. They'll expand what you just said to sixteen or twenty teams. It's just evolving into that, and the Bowl games will be obsolete. The Bowl games will become part of that. Bowl games will become part Yeah, just so that they can so that the charter of a Bowl is to make money in the area. Sure for the. Game, I think it's a great game. I can't wait to watch it. Not interesting going, I know it's you now unless you and Houston. Now, if Virginia had made the playoffs and was going to Old miss I would have considered going agree a little far. But do they play neutral? You couldn't get past the powerhouse Blue Devils. That that was all set up. First off, how dumb the a CEC is back to that f the AC. So you're gonna You're gonna put a team that had five losses in a title game, which is absurdly dumb for the people that are supposed to be the learned, you know, Ivy League type people to think of that. But then to put the matchup outdoors at seven point thirty at night against Ohio State in Indiana. What are you thinking that that stadium was half full? If that it wasn't that full, it was so empty it was I know, but who's going to go? It was December. For gods, we could talk. About the Iowa or the Indiana and Ohio State. I never missed a snap of that game. It was so rivity. No, it wasn't thirteen ten, Oh my god. It was a defensivet you talked about it enjoying a defense game? That was that? Was it? Well? Because Rocky had come in at four in the morning with Perry, I was tired, and when I saw Virginia, okay, Duke starts fourth and seven, going to punt, we jump off sides. Okay, now it's fourth and two, and they make this miracle throw okay and score a touchdown off of miss tackles. Then we go down and miss a field goal. I just went to bed. Oh, like I've seen this, dude. When Virginia scored at the end, yeah, I thought there's zero chance Duke could win this. I mean, Virginia had no chance coming when I go for two, I guess it was a thought. Yeah, but. No way you thought Duke was winning that in overtime. Now I was. I don't know, running a trick play there, but if it works, he's a genius, so I can see that. Well. But anyway, that was Uh, that was the whole college football playoffs, cutting free. Playoffs. Talk about the playoffs? You kidding me? Playoffs? I just hope we canna win a game. Another game. Now, Virginia beat Missouri, they'll break their own school record for eleven wins. And there you go. So they have something to play for you. Where is that game? It's in Florida, the Gator Bowl. No, yeah, right games? So yeah, yeah that. In fact, the last bowl game I ever went to was UV against Texas Tech in Jacksonville. So why didn't this? You don't want to go watch that? We just lost? We lost away? In another reason not to do a championship game. That's another thing that'll be gone in two years. I don't think so. Yeah, yeah, definitely. I think it's going to gain steam now in no way because next year it's automatic for the ACC. No matter who wins, they automatically get its. Whoever wins the a SEC championship game, it's an automatic bid next year. Yeah, and then Notre Dame automatically gets in if they're the top twelve. So what happens to the team that loses that game? They're right, So that's why they're not going to do it. Notre Dame in Miami successfully did not play and the only reason Alabama is in is because they didn't want that to be the case. They didn't want you to lose your title game. And now Notre Dame hops over. You agree, that's why they're going to go away. Do you think Texas Tech will go far? They're interesting. They are the Arizona state of last year. People think they're gonna do good. I think they will. Have you done? What did you? Who did you pick in our We did this thing, Emma where you pick every single bowl game? How do I get back to that. Fund the link? I guess college essentially if it's on college esp I have an ESPN app for fantasy. Yeah, it's on there. So we picked every game. So who did you pick to win the whole thing? On? You? All of that and you just answered, I haven't done it. Yet, Yeah, because I kind of forgot about it. I always do it the Friday. I don't think I've got to the I just picked the first. Oh yeah, you know what I'm saying, Who are you picking the whole thing? Who would you pick? Just put it that way, who would you pick to win the whole thing? Me? Honestly, I just don't know, Like, you can't. I don't think Ohio State is going to and I can't Indiana it's going to come off that high, and I don't know. That is so tough, man, this is your show. You can't not. You're like Kevin, You're going to wait till the end and then, Oh, I told you, m a man. I think it's gonna be one of the second. It can't be one of you got to pick, for God's sake, some balls? Who are you going to pick? Indiana? Go? Okay, she's got balls, you get what do you got? It's her birthday? Yeah? I know you got to pick it. It's gonna be one of the second tier teams. I don't I'm trying to look to see which one is that isn't. That George, It's how do you not know? Who are the second tiers? Indiana, Ohio State. Take Indiana's not I have no idea. Yes, they have to on a second. By the way, I've been wanting to predict this, and I don't know that this is the case. But let's follow this up. Have you noticed how many women are on sidelines now of football games. Yes, you're just. Asking for this inappropriate relationship and rape thing to occur more and more. The University of Michigan let their coach go for an inappropriate relationship. Oh yeah, that's a breaking story. You can go ahead and break it. People don't know what you're talking about. I just said it. So the headline is University of Michigan fires more for inappropriate relationship. We wationship. Is this what you meant by second? Yeah? Yeah, Texas, I'll go Texas A and M. That's terrible. The defense is incredible or Georgia. Well, just to let you know, that's who I selected, and I took Texas Mike Ko, you don't want Indiana. I don't want Indiana. Why that's the Big ten? I hate the Big ten. Yeah, but I don't like what he's done. There you got and he's an asshole. He's so are you believable? What? Damn? I'm just drying. You enjoyed your supper? They're delicious, thank you? He always like being at home. First of all, Marty is very nice to me. So I just think you gotta love that quarterback again. I'm just kidding. The throws that that dude makes under pressure unreal. I don't even know if he's black or white. Phenomenal Mendoza. Is he going to win them? Running away? People say the only good candidate is the running back. No, no, he won't even. Get did Aaron at least pick Mendoza to win the husband. He was anybody's radar, and we're making him the expert. I bet Rupert would have got it. Well, yeah, I know who's Alonzo in baseball? The Orioles just signed him to a five year deal. Oh wow from the Mets. Okay, is it a picture? Yeah? No, he is, uh let's see. So, yeah, he is the all our favorite paba. We'll finish second game, belt dry, Yeah, he'll finish second and saying we'll finish fourth. I was up with the Vanderbilt guy would win. No, he's not. Nobody's hopping me. Nobody really likes him, Yes they do. He's a gritty, sure spunky. I like her better when she just sat back there, and now that she's graduated, she's. All tells me to say stuff. Yeah, okay, need to give her a signal. She just gave you a signal. I'm about to watch YouTube just to see. And if you want to see what our signal was, you go to l l H Underscore Podcast and it's the Count's Auction and Realty Accounts Realty and Auction Studio Tower at ll H Underscore Podcast. We're up to eighty one. Yeah, acc nineteen away. That's unbelievable. We're getting closed. Yeah. Would you like to make a prediction on the husband. Be the guy from Indiana? Yeah, you just throw a fit. No, No, I said, I kind of hope that it's a guy from Vanderbilt, but he's not. I mean, you can't take Indiana to number one and not win the Heisman. Yeah, is Ohio states? Like? Is he Good's fine? It's just when you Trent Knows from the good old days when you watched college football, if the Heisman candidates faced each other, you take the winner. Yeah, period, Like there's no way you could take teens o were Mendoza. I mean that's stupid. Yeah, so all right, that is college football. Moving on to F one. Oh hey, real quick, aren't you glad that that Alabama made it in versus Notre Dame. No, so I had when Alabama got beat as bad as they got beat. I literally told Logan right then in there, that was a great first time. They should not be in now. To be honest with you, I think you could argue I was never Notre Dame. Notre Dame lost two games and their schedule the rest of the year was dreadfully bad. Yeah, so I put them right along with it. Aren't you arguing for Alabama to be in this another day? No, No, I would have taken someone, you know, Vanderbilt or one of those other teams, because Alabama has lost two other the last three games and not. Okay, so the argument I was saying, the only reason you say thought Alabama was bad is because they played in the title game and they took Georgia, and I mean that first half is one of the best first halfs I've seen. That was some hard ass hitting games. I mean, Perry and I were going, good. God, these guys are on each other. Second half a little different, But is Georgia. Where's Georgia rand third? Okay, So if Alabama hadn't have played and did what Notre Dame in Miami did, nobody would have thought that it's only because they played. That's why I said they got penalized for playing. And they were a top ten team to start with. But they didn't get penalized. By your argument, they would have, and that's why I said, I'm glad Alabama made it. They didn't get penalized for playing a title. Game, all right, But I guess what I'm saying is that committee claimed that they this year, above all years, were going to choose off of eye test. And while you can say they had to play in the championship game, they also damn near lost their last game of the year against Auburn and did lose the game before that, so they had a track record of not looking so good at the end of the season. So I mean, if we're playing the game to see who's the best teams. But their name the best conference in the country. Oh, it's to me, it's the SEC and they finished what in the top They also lost to Florida State. They finished second in the best conference in the country. That should be automatic. Did they lose to Florida State? We can't just excuse that game. Okay, best conference in the country and you finished second. You ought to be in the top twelve of the country and they deserve to be there. I think Notre Dame with their weak ass schedule and Loster you shouldn't have been in Vanderbilt lost too many teams that were decent. So Texas losing hurt Notre Dame. Yeah, right, is that who they? Notre Dame's losses were to Texas A and m in Miami. Sorry, So. I just felt like, and you know what, if nothing else they got us to talk this much about it is decent. Sure, yeah, yep, it's good for sports. Who'd you say LSU getsh. LSU has to play Houston in the Texas Bowl? Okay, So I'm curious just to see. What that is That a Dallas the Texas Bowl and that's the. So I'm curious, just to see his you know, is it anybody playing in it? Is it? You know? Yeah? But I would say recruiting, it's changed a lot. At Virginia Tech and LSU, they both have shot up the charts. Kind of shocked at how far. Hey, while we're on the subject, you gotta admit that's pretty awesome that James Franklin was able to get Brent Pror to come back to Virginia Tech. That's the weirdest and susion after getting fired. Yeah, you come back to the same school to be the defensive coordinator. I kind of lean on what Tonny Corneiser said. That's just weird. Why is that weird? They got a long relationship of working together. The dude was the head coach that just got fired. Sure, and he's gonna come back. That's weird, all right. I've never heard anything like that before my life. I can see if you came back after you went somewhere else and came back, but you just got fired. Agreed. Yeah, it's like, Hey, I'm gonna step down and let this guy come in for me. Crazy what It's interesting? All right? I look at it differently. I look as yours. H F one Tech football fan you Max. Yeah, we're stapping one the finale, Yeah, season finale, but came up three point short as predicted. So I look at that and I go if Mercedes had to move moved over, the Max wins another championship. That was the grease before. Oh yeah, yeah, man, how great Tito's loving life then Toto Tito. That's awesome. Uh, that's the first thing I said, was because you had said. But if it hadn't been that, then what's his name? Piastre would have just pulled over. That's true, there's no doubt you're right about that. He would let him go by. But how about Max? Just after Horner gets fired, goes on a tear man. I cannot wait to watch Drive to Survive this year. It's gotta be phenomenal. It is. I mean, even even the part with the Piastre and Norris dynamic. Piastre was winning, was six weeks to go way ahead. Yeah, and he lost it and he's losing it to his You know how they do such a good job of following the two teammates. Man, can you imagine how much drama there was in that devastating Yeah? So all right, moving on to NASCAR, quickly. The trial is still underweights. That's wild and my TikTok feed is full of stories about this trial. It's not good. It's not good for NASCAR, Like I keep hearing the ramifications of it. Yeah, that it's not that if it is found to be a monopoly, they can no longer own the tracks. Yeah, Junior says that if that happens, there are no people out here raising their hand to own tracks. Yeah, Like it's not you know, but. I also understand that it's crazy what NASCAR is asking some of these track owners to do too. And you did misspeak yesterday and yet last week when you said that Denny Hamlin made the fourteen million and that like put him in the category of the F one drivers, it's not even close. No, No, he makes fourteen million. Verstaffa makes sixty five million. You know, I said, if you look, he makes fourteen million, he's in. Yeah, the conversation of some of the F one drivers there are staffing. You said, for Stave he makes I said, Carlos Signs makes less than and then first off, he should make that much money. He should he should make more. You don't think, dude, they have one hundred thousand people at their events. Take that price, that ticket price. NASCAR does have a monopoly, and I hope Denny and Michael Jordan bust their ass. Okay, well, I mean, I'm just saying you won't see NASCAR according to the way. Oh come on, that's it. You click. But guess what you also said, it won't go to trial. What do you mean you thought that this was going to be all. They'll come to an agreement and it'll be done. And I said, no, this is going to destroy it. The judge said it will destroy it. It will change it, not destroy it. You're gonna say, you're saying there's not gonna be a Daytonen of five hundred. I'm saying that you literally are going to court saying it's a monopoly. Monopolies don't go. Okay, let's go back and we just give you more money. Is there an AT and T today? Yes, AT and T had a monopoly. The judge decided that there was a monopoly and they needed to break apart. AT and T is still around. It doesn't mean you're not going to be in business. You got to change your business. Okay, Well that's what it means. Yeah, and it's going to happen. I hope that. I'm glad they got them all right. Well, the trial's not over yet. Yeah, so let's see how it plays out. First. Well, I don't think NASCAR is going away. I will listen to the experts. Okay, I am not an expert, so I will glad you said that. I'm curious to see what actually happens. Listen, there's no there's no way around you like Denny Hamlin. I get it. Yeah, and I do not. That's right. I think he is. You wouldn't like it. No, I think he's the problem with the sport. Okay, I mean I do. He's the guy that doesn't want sponsors, that doesn't want he doesn't want to have to pay move and go ask for money. Yeah, well I don't want I don't want F one. I don't want a bunch of car one in car six. Yeah, I mean, go go drive F one. But we'll see what happens. Okay. I think he's saving the sport. Well, let's see. Have you seen what the sport's done in the last ten years? You like it? I don't. You made my point he's saving it. It is going the wrong direction. Okay, Yeah, I'm just listening to what he says, and he's not wanting to take it in the right direction. Okay, he's looking at it money right, all right? Correct, NFL. Yes, it's so quiet, we're having a discussion. Why are we getting angry? I'm not, it says as I got a quote here, as the great Jamie Campbell says, who gives an f who wrote that I did? He's probably saying that as we speak. Oh, no, you know you know who is the expert. Yes, it is him. We should get him on. Yes, and he probably will say I don't give them Yeah, all right, NFL. As predicted, I said the Chiefs would make wouldn't make the playoffs? You said they're not out of it yet. How many games do. They have to Literally, they can win out and still not make the playoffs? Are they eliminated? They have to have other teams lose, which can happen. Also, your second bullet point has already been decided. Oh did you see that? Sit or not sit Jaden Daniels. They've decided to sit. Ye, Okay, he got shouldn't have been that. I need him from my fantasy league. Maybe Cowboys, Maybe I'll win a game. Cowboys lose in December. That's not news, but that did happen. So are they playing on Christmas or no? Or is that somebody who plays in. Kansas City's tenth They're only two back. Do you like the Chiefs a lot? For some reason? I like betting on him in the playoffs? Hard to believe, and so do I that you could go from the super Bowl to nothing to not making the playoffs especially the same. And I tell you what seems to be more than me anything, is every time I see him pass the ball, somebody drops the damn thing. Yes, agreed, or someone falls. All right, Moving on what's happened, It's time for news. NASCAR. Philip Rivers signed. We left that out. That was our omission. Philip rus signed with the Colts. Yeah so Democrats, Yes, I swear. The more I read, the more I just think they make up controversy, this whole boat thing of double tap, of shooting down the boat and killing two extra people. Whatever. So I've listened to experts Trent who literally say, if you're in a room and you're coordinating a strike, that you have counsel on one side of you and counsel on the other and you're not making any decision without them too approving it. First of all, can we get back to the days of General Patton. It's crazy, just shoot. So here's the crazy part about it. The stupid video, right. The Democrats went out and made the video to disobey orders by unlawful orders, right, which why, hello, you know, if you're in the military, you know you're not supposed to do unlawful order like that's just you're only doing this to set up something else. And the something else was the supposed video of you know, of the and the orders that were given supposedly by Hegseth, Right, and then we find out from the New York Times that Hegseth wasn't even in the room. And so now more and more so, of course, they want Trump to release the video. They want the video released. So I was like, what are they going to see in the video? Haven't we seen the video? Right? Yeah, I'm thinking this. I find this and a dude, it just infuriates me. It's a little long, but cut for senator. Have you seen the video? I have seen the video, and it is deeply disturbing. I am mostly concerned with the fact that we are putting our American servicemen and women in jeopardy here, sating them in jeopardy in case they ever get shot down. We're putting them in legal jeopardy. They could be brought up in international criminal courts. And so what we're doing here is taking those professionals, or utmost professionals and putting them into harm's way. And that's what bothers me the most about what Pete Hack said is doing. He is the least qualified security defense in our nation's history, and he's very cavalier about doing things. The fact of the matter is only Congress can decide that we can go to war, and there was no such declaration made. I just want to make sure that I get this accurate. You have seen the classified video of this particular strike, the first strike and then the double tap as it's known. No, I've just seen what's been available in the media. I've read the food report, but I've not seen the actual video like this a lot. Your whole premise was all, lot, Yeah, you haven't seen anything. Yeah, And she just said, I've only seen what the media has report. So it's so funny because it just matters if you've got a D or an R next to your name. So they come out of the classified viewing of it, and one of the senators that has a D next to his name says, that was the most disturbing thing I have ever seen in my entire life. These two men were trying to just survive, and we've decided to kill them, right, And then the R comes out and goes it looks like to me, the two guys trying to get the cocaine back into the boat and back on it, right, And so yeah, they were killed. Again. It's literally just two interpretations. And again it's just trying to set up something, right, You've got to get him on something. Oh yeah, it's Trump derangement syndrome and. That whole Pete Hexa thing that they do. They are attempting to do to him what they did. Who's the lady from Alaska? The vice president that we used to love, Sarah Palin? Sarah Palin, you remember how they just slammed and did all that. It is non stop against him. Yeah, but yeah, you and I both know that if you the vets that we have interviewed on the show, would all walk through a wall for him, Like I mean, that's the guy you want in jarge, it's. Your chain of command obviously. Yes. So yeah, so when when they say he's least qualified, yeah, like he doesn't have the stars that they want. That's what it is when you and I both know just having stars doesn't make you a good decision maker. Because there's career generals that are politician generals, and so that's he did not choose that for a reason. So I'm certain that Trump is happy with his selections absolutely well. Speaking of happy, Yeah, the old Jasmine Crockett love her man, she's so polished. Future Texas senator. She is going to be the new Texas senator according to her. Yeah. Uh. This was after she was questioned about criticizing the Latino community. That was not pretty. And even after they played what she said, she still tried to come back and say, well, that's not what I said. I wasn't criticizing the Latino community and saying basically they were stupid for voting for Trump. That's not what I meant. Yeah, I just said it. I don't think she wins. Is she literally running for Senate in Texas because they've jerry manders yes, her district, so she has no chance of winning, So she goes on to Senate. Who would she run against? So there are Oh, she go against the attorney general if she made the if she made the primary, if she won the primary, she would have to go against the old attorney general. Republicans, they have all cleared out of her way now, so there's no going to be a primary for her. She's the chosen one now. So she is the dim prime. The guy who was leading has been asked to step aside and agreed to. Oh my god, that's what I'm saying. The Republican side. Ye, Corn is running against Paxson, Okay, pack and then one other. So yeah, wow, that's unbelievable. I do think Packson is popular in Texas. I would hope so, but many they scare me in their votes Texas, the Republicans win, but it seems like it's always five or six points. Yeah, well we'll see. Yeah, I mean you never know, all right, Uh dude, did you have a cut for her? No? Okay, So I saw something this week. I had one of my many clips that I didn't send. That's why I did. Oh you didn't send it was it was. A black preacher that was criticizing how she's getting promoted so much because of her dialect and how embarrassing it is for our population. I was like, gosh, I got to play that. So I do have it, but I just didn't send it today. That's fine, we'll save it for another day. You didn't want to play that on her birthday anyway? That's a little too much. Yeah, laugh, all right, how is this not to me? This is the most unbelievable thing that I have seen a president. I just there's certain things that I see that I go man. For him to come up with something like that, it's genius. Have you heard about the Trump accounts? Okay, so there is a Trump account? Oh oh, when you're born for the kids. Okay, okay, So when you're born, they put one thousand dollars in an account and then it is invested in the stock market. And when you're eighteen you have those funds available. That's great, and I love because the lady from CBS was talking to best At about it and she's like, well, those are restricted to student loans or housing, and he goes nother, not, no, not, we didn't put restrictions on them. Huh, Like these are the it's their money. Wow, they can do what they want to with it. That's great. But after that was announced, these are the Trump accounts. The Dells, who own Dell computers have come out and pledged six point four billion dollars to add to that. And so now they're talking about not just if you're born, but from here to eighteen now starting accounts for people under the age of eighteen. So every new kid being born is going to have whatever Trump said, one thousand dollars plus whatever Dell donates. No, no, I think the Dell is starting to give kids that are already born between now and eighteen, I gotcha. So that's and then they have challenged other businesses, and now other businesses are saying that they're going to get in on this. Look, you've got the private sector investing in the future. Yeah, Like, how genius is that. I talked with a gentleman recently this week about college and affordability and things like that, and he brought up a wonderful point. And I'm just telling you, it makes no sense to me. How like this particular gentleman was looking to become a preacher. And I know you go to Liberty University. There Emma. But if he attended Libertymore and got a degree, it would cost him sixty to one hundred thousand dollars to become a preacher. I'm pretty sure that's not biblical. Wow, capitalism, get it if you can get it. So anyway, No, I'm right there in the middle of it. I just got my tuition bill for next time. I hadn't heard of the Trump accounts until recently, and then I saw the Dell stuff, and then I flip over and what do you think? CBS News says, this is how they Legacy meet says it's buying influence. Okay, so why did they call it obamacare. It's supposed to be affordable, right. They call it it obamacare because they want to give him the credit of core right, Obviously, who is the one that created the whole idea of a thousand dollars for a kid that's born to invest. It'll be the Trump account forever. It'll be Trump money forever. Yes, it was a genius. And who's going to take that away? I think JD would get elected and go, well, let's stop doing that now. It's going to be the Trump money stands forever. I agree, it's genius. It might be buying influence, but that is what you're supposed to do. But they were more so saying, like the Dell's giving money. Now these corporations are giving money to the youth. It's buying influence in the government instead of investing in your youth. Yeah, Like it's just it's crazy. Like we've always said these corporations that you know, the people who can plain and say, you know, the corporations should give more money. Well, you own a corporation, you give more money. Well, now you have corporations willingly giving money and instead of being thankful, you're, oh, well they just want influence. But they were getting that anyway. Smart. Yeah, all right, moving on post of the week. My post of the week by an idiot was actually a post that a gentleman put on Facebook that called out brook full High School. And I didn't put this in sports because I just I think it's idiotic. Brookkeville High School is on probation now for football for next year for playing two ineligible kids. Yes, and so now they are banned from the postseason next year, And that is my stand. Yes, what do you mean is it going to stay? Well, like I didn't know if it was like, well, the VHSL has made a ruling, but you're right, is that Are they going to protest? It is somebody going to take them to court? That could happen, I'm sure, but I don't know where they have a leg to stand on, especially they have banned them based off of the Liberty High School game. And the reason I say that is they were told by the VHSL that they couldn't play in that particular game. They went to court, a judge agreed and then agreed to hear the case, but they still played those two kids. Well, that to me, I don't know what your basis is. Dude, I get so annoyed with the Brookville people that say, just let the kids play. Why are you hurting the kids? Well, first off, do you not care about the Liberty kids that have to play against them? I mean, how about those kids? Sure? You know what I mean? If it's something done unruly, And that's what I've said the whole time. How come nobody is coming out and saying this is why they were ineligible. Nobody has really said the reason we find them ineligible is X And that's what's frustrating about this. Yes, ma'am. Well, Logan Thomas to be able to coach next year. I'm sure, yeah, that that's not going to be. That's his kids. Well, he's got a freshman there too, so those are his kids, right. They were his kids, So I mean, that's the thing I don't I'm saying. The reason they made my idiot post of the week is you made a decision to play those two ineligible kids when you didn't have to. You could have gotten it resolved the following week like you did and continue to play the rest of the year. You said, I'm going to ignore the VHSL. That's right, and the judge. That's not the lesson to teach the kids. No, I mean, that's really not the lesson. I mean, it's not stick it to we're Brookville when he came back as an NFL player and we're treating him this way. That's the other post I hear. Co Come on, Okay, I'm glad he came back, but you don't come back and thumb your nose at everybody else and say I'm going to do it because I'm the NFL player. You can't do that. No, so right anyway, yep, Oh, the idiot I have the Week, says, imagine having a government that now has over thirty people employed in the administration. This is about Fox News, who used to work for a TV station that had to pay seven hundred and eighty seven million dollars for lying to its viewers. That's interesting. Yeah, didn't CBS just pay a lawsuit? That's right. But the seven hundred and eighty seven was the defamation against Dominion. Oh that's what they're referring to. Okay, But so basically they were sued because of false information on dominion. Yeah, where CBS was sued for lyne about a presidential candidate to get one elected over the other. That's right. Interesting. Oh, shout out to uh Robin Zill. He listened to our show. That was kind of cool. Who's up a guy I went to be a my with? Oh okay, he sent us a little lesson shut out. Very cool. Yeah, all right, moving on, win win win. We're gonna win win, win, and we're gonna make America great again. At least twenty House Republicans who have either said they're going to retire or. Not run again Democrats and Democrats want you mention them. How many Democrats are going to how. Many DEFA, Well, that's what I was gonna ask. Why don't you tell me the number of Democrats? Do you tell me about. About the narrow margins? And now I'm Notcketcured. I think we're gonna do well and we will have the greatest economy, considering we're gonna have the greatest economy in history. How many Democrats are retiring? How could we only other Republicans but not the Democrats to ask you a question about it? You're unprepared because you should know the Democrats. You're totally unprepared. Good. She is never allowed to go. Back to work. No, But isn't he correct in his response? I'm glad that somebody actually calls them out. On it, Like I get, like, okay, if you're going to ask that question, He's exactly right. You should at least know how many. Democrats exactly, but you don't. It's not her narrative, right, That's right. God man, I'm so glad we win, all right? Moving on to Mount Rushmore, Yes, Mount Rushmore. This week of stores that no longer exist, like that we used to shop at that. How did you get this topic? It came from one of our listeners who like it didn't know. So one of our listeners came from one of our listeners that goes to at L l H Underscore podcast on YouTube and watches and Stay's current and then got a new conversation with Trent about this. So what I was thinking is I use Amazon for everything. And at the time, when the listener asked, hey, what's the mount rushmore of the week, I said, Hey, why don't we pick stores or things that we used to buy that aren't even around anymore. So Chris the listener has sent us some really good lists and this is a huge topic amongst my friends that thought manns. They added a lot to it, so it is neat. But Emma, being young that you are, you probably don't even know some of these stores. I know one of Brian's a new one, Like I. Don't even know what your first one is, Brian, I don't ei. That's why I'm ready to go to Somebody who listens to the show will go, oh, I used to love that nobody. I'm sorry, I'm sorry I was mean to Trent. I had to come after you. Thank you. Okay, the quality do we I don't even know do we? Facebook diversity did we Facebook air posts. Yeah, yeah, okay, well I will comment this week on the Facebook for people to add theirs. That's what I was gonna say. I was gonna say, if you guys have some suggestions, I'm in there. This has been a huge topic amongst my friends. I can't wait to read some of these. Okay, go ahead, two people possibly, all right, so read Chris's first Okay, So Chris has KB Toys. Yes, I used to love k That was the one in the mall. Yeah, that was. It was kind of before like Toys r Us was the big City Toys. Yes. KB Toys was like in our malls. Yes, yes, KB Toys was cool. Uh. He came up with something that that is this is what I thought about that. You used to buy that. You don't anymore. Polaroids and Kodak used to have the polaroid. Yeah, basically built in the area around Tennessee, right, Yeah, exact Eastman. Yeah, Kodak. And do you remember the the one hour photo shops. Oh, they were at every shop. It's like Joe Bean's.

No, it was a beer like a pill zema. But it's a beer. He said he'd put John I m a. He put Jolly Ranchers in it. I didn't take Chris. I didn't take Chris as a dreamer. I think he probably sipped on those in college. It seems gay, all right, Uh, Sears, you don't. You just don't see Sears anymore. And that that was one of the stores you thought would never go away. Correct, And that's like, if you want to look at it, like when people say, well Walmart will never go away, you know what. Nobody thought Sears would ever goal. Yeah. And then Showbiz Pizza, What a great place. It was kind of like, what was it? What's it somewhere? What's it called? What's Chucky Cheese? It was kind of like show be Is originally then Chucky Cheese. Oh my gosh, that's five nights up Freddy's. What that's what that looks like? Five nights up Freddy's. You haven't seen those movies? It was great, dude. You haven't seen those movies coming out? No, guys, yes you have, I know you watch Oh I hit on the rappillow. It was frightening look at it. I can't just I'm just stirred by what the kids might go watch. It brings back memories Americana. This was this is where I worked for many, many years, show Biz pizza, Showbiz pizza place. And then it became a lot Chuck e Cheese, and then it became Billy Bob's. So yeah, and then he said, for an honorable mention, we used to we used to buy the Walkman in honor of Emma. Yeah, the Walkman is no longer available, all right, So what's your stores? All right? So don't make why. So mine was hip pocket. We'll see if anybody who listens to the show remembers hip pocket. I thought hot pocket, hip pocket? What is it? I don't know what a hip It was nothing but a Gene store. It was jeans from tip. Are you sure that was a thing and you're not making it up in your head? Well, you just you're looking at it. I've never seen that before my entire life. Where is it looking right? Just type in hip pocket, Jeene store. You know what? That's what she's got? Why she doubting you? It was a Jeene store. In the mall. Huh, and it was nothing but jeans from Florida ceiling Brian French. If he's listening to the show, I guaruntee you had a pair of pants from from. Hip Pocket hip Pocket. I will bet on it. I'm sure Marty, I'm gonna get a text. I guarantee he knows where hip Pocket was. Yeah, they type in hip Pocket Riverage mall, oh good Lord. Ridge nineteen ninety. Yeah. It was huge though. I was like negative twelve, so of course. All right, So anyway, Yeah, that was one Circuit City I had that on my list was massive back in the day. Yeah, because that's where you got all. I guess it would be akin to best Buy. Yeah, what I couldn't believe. Like when best Buy came out, I thought, no way they'll dominate Circuit City. There's no way. Yeah. Circred City had this cool area, Emma where you could it was like a glass room where it had all the base remember the you could go in that room and turn the stereo up. That was the place. I don't know how they I don't know how they fell. I don't either. And then I had Blockbus. Oh yeah that was huge, dude. I mean whether it was video games, uh, movies. You couldn't get porn in a Blockbuster though, right, No, one of our one of our people in my list. It's something about you said, Did I say, Dave, that's not who said it? Well, I did not. I did not know. That's not who sent it off. I said, one of them our I don't know even know why that name would have come out. It's not even close. But he said Blockbuster and and porn VHS tapes soft what he does say sophocore. But that didn't have that block knowledge. He must have Big city blockbusters must have been different than our little bound Yeah, although if I can tell a story about how Brad and I you shot, Oh yes, that's how our That's how our wives got better gifts, except for when one accidentally ends up in the player during a move. Oh yeah, all right. Next one is record bar? What is that? That was a place where you went to go buy records. No, and in the. Record bar was a DJ, like they played music. That made Marty's list. Marty had record bar as well. I know, damn well, y'all were going through this. They're talking about the vinyls like you used to flip the I have one there. It is right there. You got it on there record bar CDs. You said there was a DJ in there. Yes, it was like a second not a second floor, but a step up. And then it was a DJ booth like the stage. They would play music while you went through there, and it was always the newest stuff. Hey, by the way, a genius idea. You're walking by and you hear music, you go into the music store. What's song is that? Yeah? You would have it up on the thing. Huh. And then Orange Julius was my last oldie. But goody that store. I can still taste that Orange Julius right now. Yes, it had just that perfect concoction. Was dairy queen on it? Now, how it must be. Huh, that's the one, the one over here that looks like wood. That's the one that was in the river Ridge mall. That's what it looked like. And they had the best corn dogs. How about a Christmas time where they convert They always convert one of those empty little sections into the place the holly farms. Yes place, it's got the meat and the cheese type thing. So what all right, let's hear yours all right? So mine real quickly. Montgomery Ward, monkey Ward, Montgomery Ward, sears Yep, Kmart Montgomery Ward was in the mall when I first moved here. Yes, that was at the where the Belkan this. It was very similar to Sears Yep. I got kmart radio Shack. Do you remember radio Shack? Love radio Shack? Yeah, because it always had like, no matter what, you could get it there. Yeah, if it was one little piece. Remember when you own video games that you had to have that little thing on the back that would flip ac or something. Yeah, that little you know, that's the kind of stuff you would buy would switch yeah, from the TV to the correct game. Yeah. So and then man, I'm pretty sure at Marty's where Marty's parents live in Zebulin, they still have a Roses. No, yes, there's one in uh South Boston. They still have an active Roses active Roses. That's crazy. And then. Logan added Leggates. Yeah it used to be well it's Belk now so yeah. But yeah, so legates was locally so our group, which I promise you does not include Dave. I don't know why it was his name it all. So I apologized for Dave trying to link that up with the porn. I did not mean. Uh, have you ever heard of a place called Tuesday Morning? Yes, my wife, you would chop there a lot, dude. I actually asked Julie if she wrote bed, Bath and Beyond? Are they not around anymore? BBB closed? Yeah, they're GONEB Yeah, yeah, I didn't know that. How about Peer one. Yeah, peer one Imports. Yeah, wasn't it like a clothing store? Now? It was kind of like a fancy little furniture place. Yeah, trinkets and stuff. Oh, there used to be one called weather Vane too. Let's see, uh the Limited mm hmm yeah, and Marty asked his Express still exists? Express? Yeah, there was one in the room. Yes, yeah, it was kind of like Limited. It was like across the street, across the hallway from Limited, if I remember, and I think that's about it. What was the one that used to be in every mall where you would take your uh that's where you would buy gifts and get them engraved. They were like at every little of the chaosk one things remembered, I think is what it was called. I don't, but Marty gave She said that there's a roses in tight Squeeze. Is that one there, it's the food Line shopping center there. Yeah. Before can I drive by something all times? A thousand times? I don't only know? And Hickory Farms is the name of the meat meat. Spot I had. The Great American Cookie store. Oh that's right, you're the cookie person. Grumble cookies. Nice, No Great American cookie already moving on alright, the lesser known, very rarely listened to me. I just got three things to say. God, bless our truths. God Stock. He always crumbles up his paper every single time. Because he's done with the show. Now he gets and Kevin, that's when he goes and gets to and I'm going to say, let's not down have at it when it's have at it. Is what brought on the new sponsors eighty one we went to eighty one. Have had it? Brought on that extra one. That's what I love. So I told you and Logan while we were hunting this weekend that my algorithm is starting to think that I'm one of these people. I think because I'm getting these so many times. But this one is if you don't date a trans person, and I've seen this on more and more things. Okay, if you're a trans and you started out as male. Okay, and you've called yourself Feenie Malek. Do you still have a penie? I don't know. Yeah, yeah, so you still have the penie. You're just telling, you're just still telling. I mean he still had the package, all right, he still has the Hickory Farms beefstick package. Okay, so you're that tranny. Now this is my These next three clips are what it's going to be like dating in the future for those that are online dating. Before you hit play, Yeah, is there a name yet for those two transitions? I figured by now, somebody's got to give that a name. Yeah, like male to female, female to male, they're the same. Okay, well, I mean they're used the same. But you're right they should call it m tw W, tranny, mew or a whim. So this woman is going to sing to you about God. You shouldn't be not You're not gay if you date a training. So just do this. C if your siss and you won't date trans folks, your transphobe. Now, if that made you mad, and maybe it's your prejudices that you need to probe, no matter the reasons you've got, you're reducing us to when we dis robe. What I'm that kind of thinking name sophisticated. It's more like microbes. Another thing you've got goo reasons. Maybe you do. This is singing from Oh my gosh. But transphobia is transphobia, and you won't get a pass. When went through. Were human beings, not sex organs. It's lesbians. I'm talking to you. Is that a man? I think it is? What's a cist? She started out with something, Yeah, So I'm hearing this more and more. I think it's moving into our lexicon. Assists is a person whose gender identity aligns with their sex at birth. Okay, I gotta reread that. For example, a man who has seen who was seen as male at birth. So you're you were a male. It's hard to even keep up with this stuff. Do you think I'm just I'm being dead serious right now and I'm not meaning this as a joke. Do you think God goes man? I couldn't have made it any simpler? All right? Seriously? I literally from the time you're born, Yeah, I made it a simple male and female. Yeah. I even took a rib from one, yeah to make the other. Right. When you're a little kid and they give you. I'm just saying, Trent, they give you the little blocks. You can't put a square peg in a round hole. So what she's he is upset about is because she's called herself a woman. That if you don't want to date her because she has said package, then you are transphobic the penie because it has said penie. Keep all right, cut eleven. Dating a trans this is another one. I just don't mind you guys, but if you are a man dating a trans woman, that just don't make you gay because trans women are women. Stay with me. Now, trans women are women. This is less Actually some of the. Most incredible women that I know. And if you are dating a trans woman you should feel lucky in me, like worship the ground she walks on. Yeah. See, this is for instruction. This is for like if Grayson splits up with Chance or Logan splits up or Perry splits if they're on the dating scene, then they don't you need to spend less worried about what the package is and then what the person calls themselves and you're not that that's where that's what they're trying to coerce a cent to. Didn't Virginia Tech football player. This is hard, but in all seriousness, didn't a Virginia Tech football player recently kill a person murder because he found out that he was a sheet or she was a heat? I think there was a movie like that. No, no, this happened in Virginia Tech. No, no, I mean I'm saying that. So he was found innocent. So I'm. Where, does well you still can't murder someone? Well, he did, and he was he got off. I bet. You don't remember this. I don't the football player that literally killed the guy, I mean left. And came back to gilling. Wow, and the judge agreed. Oh, man, I don't think you should be able to murder someone. Just don't go out now. Now, this is what I'm talking about. This is he is sincerely asking you if he looks like a man. So when I'm on bumble and I see this swipe across, I'm just supposed to look at the dress and not the beard. So here play cut thirteen. Look like a man? Now, I'm not asking do I have features associated with the beard or if I look as though I've been assigned mail of birth. I'm asking do I look like the common idea of man in your mind. You know, man is a gender and gender is performance. Your father, your brother and friends? Whore met does this performance resemble? There? It's a performance, dude. This is social media, This is all over my feed. What if I come in next week? What? What if I come in next week? Dude? It's not just the appearance, it's also physically related. A good kick in the balls will solve your gender confusion. That is Clint Eastwood. All right, all right, go by cup. I'm confused on the whole. Can you go back to the previous. Yeah, okay, so you're talking about the guy that just Andy sounds like a guy? All right? So a question that Ashley used to ask me. Yeah, with Logan's girlfriend, you know she doesn't eat meat, right, So the question that we ask all the time is if you're not a meat eater, but yet you're buying stuff that tastes like meat, like you know, the fake stuff. Why if it tastes like no, why not just eat meat? My question to them is, if you don't tell worried where you were going, if you don't want. To be a male, why do you grow a beard? I'm the I'm confused in that part, right, Like, if you legitimately think I don't want to be a male anymore and I want to be a female. Right, why do you grow a beard? I don't know. I just I'm worried about this. There's I mean, this why I'm not going to ever date in the future. It'd be I mean, imagine because listen, all right, you know I once online day. I'm just giving. But just just hear me out. Just hear me out. Okay, these trying to save you. These platforms. No, no, this is legitimate. These platforms are liberally liberally run, right, right, I mean it's not somebody like me running these online dating systems. It's someone that's obviously a liberal that helps run these things. And I know that because of some of the things that you have to say or put or whatever online dating. Okay, if she says she's a woman, she's going to be on my feed when I'm scrolling up and down, right, and I'm now going to see beards in my feed. Hopefully I don't accidentally swipe, right. I guess that was what I'm saying back when I used a dating yeah, which would have been gosh, two thousand. Maybe I don't know that. Hey, what are those names. Those names are different now I did. Christian Mingle was the first one I ever did. So do they have different categories now farmers? Is it male? Female into trans? Yeah? Yeah, so they obviously have to have those things. Yeah, they have their That's what was the name of the one you were in? Do you remember, guys? Is it still around? No? What was very popular? What was it was? I remember it because you're the first person I know that was all out. Yeah, when it very first came out? Yeah, oh heaveny? Or is it? No? Definitely? Wasn't ebony farmers that came out? You had farmers only? Yeah? God, oh my god. Could you imagine if we came up with the top five names of dating. We should do that? Huh? That is the nerder one? Yeah? What was one of the old ones? I don't know. All right, So let's get to let's get to the physical. Here's the physical. So cut fifteen. Okay, sweetie. So apparently you're not wanting to understand or listen. So Hi, I'm Mama Rose. I am a transgendered woman. I go by her. They them pronoun definitely, And I can tell you right now my period I experience every month is very real, very and very painful. But you know what, you go ahead and keep invalidating trans women. You go ahead and keep telling them their experience is not real. You go ahead and keep telling them that, because if that makes you feel like a real woman, if that makes you feel so big and important, sweetie, then you go do it whatever helps you sleep at night. Boo boo. But I'm here to. Tell you the why want a period? Trans women experience minstrel cycles? Not all of us? Oh no, not all of us. No, some of us are lucky and don't have to go through it. How long is some of us? Like? Oh yeah, yeah, No, I didn't know it was that long. All right, Why would you want one? It's just there's zero chance that that dude right there has ever gone in the aisle and picked up a pair of. What you're telling me he's buying tampons for fun. No, that's what I'm saying. There's no chance those things are idiot. Tell me, I wonder if he takes angry pills. I'm just making silence great again? Oh man, is Kevin calling him? Hui Jesus? I can't I can't t glare? What is that? Chickens and it says I'm a girl. Now that's disgusting mental illness. Yeah, so I'm a little worried about. I mean, okay, you're gay, No one gives a ship. Just be gay and shut that up. That is true. Okay, why do you have to keep making tiktoks about I just go be who you are, stop telling them trying to tell me. And I'm only showing you because I'm trying to educate you. And I worked with the Gates Nobody's shootings and never knew it. We did. Yeah, tell me, you don't say a name. But who oh he worked over in their department. He won with three or four people over there, so you should huh. Yeah, he's a nice man. I mean, I was gonna say, just lip syncing, but we're on. I didn't know that to cover the cameras for this, No, No, I mean I don't have a. Problem with any of that stuff. I actually agree. I totally completely agree with the guy that just says, shut the hell up, stop making up lies though oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah, but you would no oh yeah, no, you had you know, maybe an inkling, but nobody, I mean nobody cared. No, no, exactly. He came to work every day and he did his job. Yeah, different times, my man. All right, let's get to regular stuff that is normally. Have at it. Speaking of this dude, all right, hold him on, all right, to okay, Al Gore math. You remember he had the stuff that he would say that it is just the most ridiculous things about that we would end our coastlines would be gone by twenty twenty. He owned a network, yeah, based off of the lines. Yes. And who did he sell it to? Al Jazir? Yes, the Saudis? Oh my god. Yeah. All right, so let's listen to this great man who was almost our president. One of your regions in the UC system. Jose Hernandez was describing to me earlier today his shock when he came around for the first sunrise as an astronaut and saw that thin blue line on the horizon as the rising sun illuminated it. That's what we're using as an open sewer for the gaseous pollution that we're pumping into it every single day at the rate of one hundred and sixty two million tons every twenty four hours, and it accumulates so much so that it now trapped. It's as much extra heat every day as would be released by seven one hundred and fifty thousand erosion mcclass atomic bombs exploding on the earth every day. Hard to wrap one's mind around it. But we have to realize what we're doing and then stop what we're doing. He's ad obviously a graduation ceremony, right, he's in the little thing and he's he's teaching people something. He just said that we detonate not seven, not seven, not seven, seven hundred and fifty thousand atomic bombs every day and it's destroying this country. Jesus, time to ban fossil fools too much time. I guess what I'm saying, Trent is obviously they go home and don't believe this stuff, none of them. There's nothing you're not gonna absolutely believe. He believes that, No way, I absolutely believe has made build Well, No, no, he doesn't believe it. He doesn't. He's not smart enough to know what math is. Anybody that can say that, yes, they do. Here's my next one. Oh my god, listen to what she calls herself here and I'm saying, I'm calling this cut forty five because she was almost our forty fifth president. Okay, Hi, I'm Hillary Clinton, and I'm a dandelion, And that means that I am all in making sure that we tell the story of climate. Change and what it's going to do to our lives if we don't act. Now. God, they've been seeing this their whole lot, I know, but why is it coming back around. It's like they're making a big push. They think it's getting because of that. You think, because the House is going to be re elected next year. It's the midterms, so this. Is the time they sit in a room think tankers think paid millions of dollars to think tank. Yeah, and they have convinced, hey, we've done this polling climate change is back around. So they're going to send al Gore out. And then last week we had Carrie and now that got her yep, And did you hear what? She called herself a dandelion? And you know what a dandelione means? She's all in, How do you equate dandelion to that means? I'm all in, you know what I equate dandy lion with ragweed? Yeah, because it's always nearby, little cotton ball that you blow off. God does dan lion stick? She looks like a cotton ball. But that's that's that's two of our presidents that we almost had, Al Gore and Hillary. I didn't even realize I was Hillary Clinton. Yeah, we'll play her again. Oh yes, Hi, I'm Hillary Clinton and I'm a dandelion. And that means that I am all in by making sure that we tell the story of climate change and what it's going to do to our lives if we don't act. Now, I don't understand these people never leave. It's going to. It's going to. It's going to. It's going to. Yeah, but dude, I'm telling you, the guy in England was the smartest one to stand up there and go, yeah, it's you doing nothing. If China's not changing, right when they start to change, maybe we should listen. But that ain't happening. You mentioned Rush Limball earlier. My favorite Rush Limball thing about the atmosphere and the world and since the beginning of God creating us is it's a rubber band. It stretches and snaps back into place. So if something is out of whack, we tend to fix it in another direction. He always used to crack me up when he would talk about hurricanes. It's climate change unless it turns and goes back out the sea. Yes, and it has nothing to do with climate change. That's exactly right. That gaunt it if it hits land, that is one hundred percent right, and it's yeah. Did you know factually this is a trivia thing that I saw that not a single hurricane has ever crossed the equator. Wow, isn't that wild? They showed with the track of every hurricane since the nineteen hundred and it always goes up, and then if it starts south of the equator, it always goes down, which I've never really heard of one south the equator hit in South America, but I guess they do. I did see on TikTok somebody, you know how they've always said that the toilet swirls the other way, And I did see somebody who was on this side of the equator and on this side. Yeah, and it did, it goes the other way. But I mean we're not talking about miles. They were. Oh they were within the house. Wow, that's wild. And I was like, that's incredible, Like, how does that happen? Well, you know, up in Holland County, they have a house where the roof is pitched and when it rains, if it hits the north end of the roof, that water that drop goes to the Potomac. If it hits the southern part of the roof, it goes to the James. I'll be damned up in Holland County. Yeah, that's interesting. I'm here. Is Kevin not here? Hm? He must not have shown up. Oh wait, he says he's tried four times. It goes to voicemail. I'm calling him. Okay, he says, come on, Emma, get your shit together. Oh that's literally a quote. He doesn't know it's her. Birthday, Yes he does. He wished me happy birthday. You've reached media Squatch, the beast of local marketing and podcasts that stump louder than Bigfoot plus one for marketing media and put. Call again, Kevin. And he did not call you out by name, Emma. He just said get your shit together. He was imagining me though. Climate change, I still go back to you. There's so many easy illustrations of the bs behind it. Yeah, I mean, honestly, they still say that the ice caps are gonna melt and it's going to raise the sea level. Yes, and we know that's impossible, physics trying to call me directly. Okay, what's Kevin's number, I'll call him. Do we want to give that out on air? Text me his number? Hey, Kevin, Yeah, yeah, we're I don't know what the difficulty is. But Emma is trying to dial you as we speak, So let me hang up with you. Okay to you, I don't know if Emma's I don't have yourself. You literally texted me this morning is supposed to. Be filling airtime. I'm watching you type. Forrilling experience. What was the other example of bs climate change? So the polar when if they were to melt somehow the right and I think we did that little math or little science experiment to show that if you fill a glass full of water and ice, when the ice melts, the water is still with the same level. Correct, it's because of the volume of that is taking up. When it reduces, subtracts the same amount that it increases in. Yo Yo, yo yo. Hello, Oh my god, it worked. We don't need a bumper. Hanging around. Hello Kevin. We might not need a bumper, but we might need something else going on over there in the studio. A don't be criticizing the new and improved Counts Reality in Auction Tower Studios. I don't know how the tower got in, but. I don't let it in. I like it. It sounds like we're big. We're above and beyond. Welcome to the show, Kevin, yo, yo. You had some experience with the Count's Reality and auction group, didn't you. Mm hm. Back in the day, Kevin used to be an auctioneer. Emma, did you know that that makes sense? What do you mean it makes sense? He talks slow. Give give her a little give her a little example, give us a little cadence. Happy birthday, you suck. I told you he didn't forget my birthday. He didn't, But you did call me a bleep word? What Brian said? You did? I told Emma that you said to get your ship together. Oh that's not a bleep word, Emma. It is my book. Oh wow, innocent too far. You might be reading the wrong book. Oh. Kevin is also part time weather guy Jim Cantort. Oh my god, his video the TikTok is fantastic. You can't hear. I'll send that to you, Emma so you can play it on air. It was that way air listeners can see. Uh crap, did he get any snow? Mm hmm? Yeah, what kind of snow did you get down there? This little bit y'all got. Y'all got snow again? Friday coming, Yeah, but it's only like we do. Yeah, but it's only like an inch to two. Nobody feels that I'll be down in Beaufort, North Carolina. Oh good one, yep, what is Brian? He's something a party by himself. Sounds it's not much different than normal. Right. Uh So, what y'all been talking about? What's the top ten today? Was stores that are no longer around that you used to shop at for Christmas? Oh h I L L. Hills. We didn't stop talking about that one. We did say Hills Department store was the best. Yeah. Oh and you just made me think of another one, but I can't remember what the name was. Was Kevin O there? It is Murphy. Murphy's had the counter man when you could eat. Include me in the top ten. I know all the nostalgias where you used to go eat sometimes at them all K and W Cafeteria they just closed down nation. I didn't even know they were been around. Run ok one huh. Yeah, he had orange. He had orange. Julius on his Kevin. They have never heard of this store called hip Pocket. No it wasn't. Oh yeah, they had A and E remember A and E Sports and at the Hills that. Was the arm A and n Army and Navy. Right yeah, all right, oh yeah yeah, here we go. We're playing your video. Hold on, this is this is Kevin Cantry live in South Carolina, your Ken Tory here love. North South Carolina. Really mixed of a winter storm. It's absolutely brutal out here. Things are deteriorating. Recommend everybody just take it home. Hooker down, steph Before we come on air live, I got to witness thunder snow. It was awesome. Back to you guys in the studio. Stephanie Abrals just want to say you're hot. Stephanie Abrals. Oh, I know who you're talking about now, I don't know who that is. I think she's me weather person. Right. Well, you have to Kevin, we've got to teach you. He can't hear this, no, no, I know, but Emma, you have to teach him that if he does a TikTok that he has to tag her. Oh, I don't know that I don't do. I don't ever send out TikTok because if you tag, then she would actually see this video, and then she would see where you called her out, and then you could go viral. Might ral anyway, I don't know both tag and nobody. I used to play tag in high school. What kind of comments are you getting? Some guys said that I own my own tan and be. Hey, we got to do a segment where we just read ours because I saw a TikTok of a woman on the news. Have you seen it where she she's a news anchor and there's a segment of the news show where she reads out loud the comments that people are making and they are brutal. That's a great idea, but she she she has tears coming out of her eyes. She's laughing so hard at it. It is so good. I love people can laugh about themselves. But people are just rude out there. It's because you can hide behind a comment. This person said fruits and vegetables are refreshing. Trump is rancid. That's said, that's a good thing. On your own. Bid to get plenty of vitamin d. Oh. Have you have you been shopping looks like a little cold stump. Oh yeah, I've been shopping. Oh good, Oh that is funny. You got it done, Emma. What are you laughing about? It? Your birthday now, Brian? It's just a hoot. I think. How old are you now? Twenty one? Close? Twenty three oh three? Going in three and feeling free? That's Emma, that's me. You ought to make you a song up, am, you can do it. I don't know all about that now. See like he'scrolling on his phone. Yeah, it's not his segment. Let me ask you a question. What's your thoughts about the college football teams that are not going and playing and invited? You have my full attention. We did discuss that during sports. My position on that actually has probably changed in the last ten years. But I wouldn't go either. If I'm not in the top twelve. I think it can only harm you. I wouldn't go. Let me put it this way. I would not go under the current rule system where kids can leave before we go to the bowl game. I would want it to be I take my team of players and play, Yes, but if they're allowed to leave, like what happened to Florida State, A couple of years ago, I would not do it. Well, this is my take on it. I'm just gonna be down to earth and tell you on all of it across the board sports, NFL, college and NASCAR. If they stop what they're doing and they go back twenty five years ago, they will be completely back on the same slate that brought everything to. Where they are now. When you keep trying to change the origin of a sport. How many teams was in the college hunt to go into the national championship twenty years ago two and the only reason they got there is because they won during the regular season. You can't sit here and play around regular season game to come out like Virginia did and did not play. If you only have sixty minutes to play, if you're going to show up, you might as well put one hundred and ten percent in. If you lose the game, that's your fault. Don't cry about it later on about not making the playoffs because you lost. That's shown you that ain't got nothing to do with rankings and all this stuff. We need to go back to their original way that things. Used to be, just like NASCAR, just like college football and NFL. So the old way, the old system right, Indiana would be the national champion this year, hands down. Who So who would Indiana play? Who's number two? Now, Georgia. I'm tankling before that we would have just voted member way back before you didn't like the voting, but there was at least a national championship game. There was at least a one versus two in one of the bowl games. Who Yeah, But what I'm saying is you're getting too many people that's involved to try to justify why they should be somewhere. They shouldn't be win your regular season games and you ain't even got to worry about it. Yeah, I know, but this year brings up a good point. Who would Indiana be facing. Whoever? The number number two team in the nation is? They got there? You know what? Deep? Oh well, it happened twenty. Years ago, a rematch of Ohio State, the game we just saw this weekend. So it looks like Artist is too Yeah, it's too much open end things that are going on, and it's just it's like me and Dustin talked about a while ago. In NASCAR, you can't have somebody that won seven races and somebody won one and get down to the final four and somebody run over a boat and have a flat tire. That won seven races might have won one wins the NASCAR Championship. That's you just don't keep doing that stupid stuff. You can't make it a gimmick. So what do you think is gonna happen with NASCAR in this lawsuit. I think what they're gonna do is they better get back to the roots. Like in twenty years ago when we used to come down here to Charlotte and camp out, seventy five thousand. People ain't doing that no more. That's right. All of the two mile radius of Charlotte Motor Speedway, on every single house yard field was completely full of campers. Now it's industrial parks. So part of the defense of NASCAR this week was they were satisfied with their efforts at the Chicago Grand Prix whatever it was when they did that downtown Chicago racing. Even though they lost. I think they said like five million dollars by putting on the race, that they did it again because it landed Amazon Prime and because they got the Amazon account, they made a billion dollars. Sure, okay, so they called it a success. That's why they've lost they're calling that a success when there was no one there at the race and no one cared about the damn They just cared that they got the Amazon account. That might give you short term money, but you lose long term base. Thousand agree with you. Yeah, yeah, and Trent, who was your base? Like again, I refer back to Dustin because I talked to him all the time about things like, it's bud light, your bud light. People that drinks bud light. It's people who have pig pickens. They watched NASCAR, They're going to NASCAR races, they're having cookouts, fish fries. That is people who drinks bud light. My cousin, they're in the high rise watching figure skating. I mean, I'm just I'm just saying. My cousin, who's a blood light drinker, used to come home on Friday evenings and watch Fox Sports one or Fox Sports or remember teeing n They would show poles, they would show qualifying. Absolutely, he got home so he could watch qualifying. Yep. Now he doesn't even watch a race. Yeah, and watching Junior he even talked about. He asked, Rusty Wallace, did you ever compete against me the extra? Because I drove Budweiser and he said absolutely yeah. He said here, he said, dude, we the garage is faught like the manufacturers couldn't wait to brag, and we've missed all of that. It's all gone. I remember now I'm not promoting this whatsoever, but I remember back going to races and Charlotte. Well, if you had a pack of camel. Lights in your pocket, Winston would give you two packs so free of their cigarettes to trade in a pack of your Marlborough lights or Camels or whatever them. But marketing back then is not like the marketing now. The marketing now markets to so many different. Aspects and not to the core of what. Let mean, look at Cracker Barrel, same thing. You know, people who get out of church. There in their seventies and eighties, they go to Cracker Barrel to eat. Well, if they started selling beer there, who are those people going to go. They're not going there to eat lunch after church. What happens is they make so much money doing what they're doing, they can't make the same amount, so they always have to try to find a way how to make more. And they think they found the way to make more. And yes, you might make more, but you've lost your base. And then what happens is you have half full stands. People don't then don't want to watch the which is happening now, and then you don't have the viewership. It's eventually gonna it's already caught up to them. It comes back to what would I do for a living? And I tell people this all the time, g r Eed greed. When you try to make all the money you want to make, there ain't no U haul truck behind the hearse. You gonna be dan as six feed under and you ain't carrying no money with you. And the money that you didn't sit here and get people out. Of and made. Whoever you leave it to, they gonna go on vacations and buy new calls and stuff. They ain't gonna be doing the same thing you did to make what you made. Well. We talked about this before a few times. One of the my favorite things as a teenager and man I was die hard just like you guys were, was when Daryl Waltrip came to Franklin County Speedway. That meant song that was huge. And then to see what we used to talk about this two three years ago and then I was kind of disappointed they disbanded when sr X did their thing with Tony Stewart, and to see what NASCAR did to block them from being able to go to tracks that they're ruining their base. They didn't understand that that was promoting racing, correct. It's the opposite way that they should think because they're in their ivory towers and they have forgotten about the guy that's eating chicken wings and drinking bud light sitting on the front row. Who in NASCAR was ever part of racing? All right? I mean they don't even have that anymore. Idiot Grant Warner was part of racing. Part of KFC too, Yeah. Chicken bones and they kept making me pour my beers out too. That was that made me upset. I thought of something. I thought of something me and you could do when I come in. All right, we can get drunk, go around the neighborhood and fight the Christmas blow up decoration. I'm bringing my pocket. II one of the patrick. Yeah. What's the difference between a refuge or illegal and et? Mm hmmm phone home? I don't know. ET learned English and he wanted to go home. Oh boy, past birthday. Thank you all right? That yeah, never a dolem. So where's he? What? Never mind? York South Carolina? Is that top? Where is that? York, South Carolina? And it's about fifteen minutes past Charlotte, North Carolina? Okay, so right on the border. Yeah. He talks about taking a light rail whatever that is, Like, what's it called? Trip? The metro? Damn trak? Is it light rail or something? In Charlotte? Get this? Just speaking of the along this lines, I can't believe you brought that up. Do you know how much if you had to guess each of you had to guess for my daughter to come this weekend when she finishes at UVA from Charletsville down to Lynchburg to ride the amtrak, how much would a ticket cost for me. To buy it? For bucks? Yeah? I was fifty fifty years that's what I thought. Fifty to sixty five bucks, maybe maybe one hundred. I literally was thinking, what I much did you say? It's an hour? I mean, what how much did you say? I said? Under fifty year. It was eleven dollars? Oh wow, eleven for a fifty five minute ride? Are you great? Are you not going to pick her up? Oh? You're going out of town, trying to make me feel guilty. Yeah, because mine now drives drive six hours to Clemson every time Sarah needs to come home. Just kidding. That's a real dad. Well that is uh, that's terrific. I'm glad that she can do that. Take a train to Kemper Street. This is our first time trying it. So party's going to pick her up. So it'll be like it. Kember Street's a little iffy. No, not. Walk around, but I mean no. I'm saying she'll be there in the morning, like afternoon, right eleven o'clock. Yeah, oh yeah, you got to right in your horizons. A little bit, uh my horizon right here. Okay, if I can't because you told me I can't leave, that's right, So I can't broad anything. You can take the am track when they build an Amtrak here, like the station here in Bedt. Yeah, you could take from Lynchburg to Bedford. All just hop on the train it goes past here. I'll just hop on it and then. Dude, there's more. Dude, I mean, I just don't. I guess I grew up here, so I don't associate Bedford Lynchburgh is being big. I just don't. I stopped by the other day, I went to a meeting that was supposed to start at nine thirty. I sat in the park a lot from nine thirty to ten, and nobody. Somebody finally pulled in a ten and said sorry. Because of the weather, we decided not to have nobody emailed nobody nothing that's awful correct. So I was like, what the hell, I'm starving, I'll run over to waffle house in Forest like literally, the three waitresses and the cook were talking about how awesome it was that they were able to get an uber to take them to work because they couldn't drive in snow. Uh. And I just don't associate this area with getting an uber. Huh. No, I usually were all the time in Winch work. You do what that's crazy talk, that's insane. Not today. I mean that needs In fact, I need to have it more in my psyche, to think about it more often. But I'm getting there. I used a lot. That comedian, I guarantee I used it in Beaufort this weekend. That comedian that I listened to, you know, he got two TUIs when he was younger, and he said, I don't like this group nowadays. Like before when we got drunk. He's like, you had to have a plan. Yeah, or you were waking up scared on whose floor it was and how you were going to get home after that point. Yeah, like because you didn't drive, because you knew you were gonna get wasted. He's like, nowadays, you don't care. You'll get an uber whenever you want. We did have had to have a plan. It's definitely a different time for sure. Sure it's nice to have be able to do that. But we use him in Lynchburg quite a bit. I just got the she wrapping it up. Yeah, yeah, Hey, this is a really quick one, so you'll be happy. I think it's like forty seconds long. But it's one of those coach speaks that just this dude is a strength coach for Georgia Tech talking about winning. He's really really good. See you next week. Here's what you should know about winning before you chase it. Whenning's not loyal to you, he doesn't care about you winning, doesn't care how sore you are, when he doesn't care how much sleep you get, when he doesn't care how hard you work. At times, I guess sometimes a guy doesn't outwork you and he still wins. It isn't fair man. Sometimes there is no justice. Winning requires all of you and then more, and it promises you nothing. It's a mastermind of creating fear and doubt in your mind. It causes setback after setback. So the question is about winning. Are you willing to sprint when the distance is unknown? And why chase this thing called winning? Because the only thing that's guaranteed in life if you don't chase it, is losing
