Glad to be here finally, and Emma, Hello, that was a little zach top start to show off with beer for breakfast. Sounds like our Telladaca trip a couple of years ago. Yes, yes it is. We have a lot to catch up. We missed a couple of weeks. Life gets in the way. Sometimes work work, work, Yes, it has been very busy, but we are happy to be back in the David Homemaker State Farm Studios. By the way, I bumped into David. He came out to see me a couple of weeks ago. Well, love still loves the show. Bink's big supporter. I gotta go see him. There. I forgot what I needed to go talk to him about, but yeah, I need to go. Se Man. What a terrific guy. I mean, just out of the blue, came by, didn't ask for nothing. Just uh, you know, you should tell him that we had people wanted to ask where our show was. That was kind of cool. Oh I was. My aunt was like, what are you doing? Yeah, she really likes the show. Yeah, she wished Emma was more involved and people not related to us. Yes, I agree, I know. Yeah, gotcha. People have been waiting patiently waiting. Be glad we're back. Stop your bitching. No, I swear to god. Aunt. What'd you call her? Aunt? Gail? Aunt? Gail? Yeah, stop your bitching. Glad to be back. Annie. God, she travels man. She was talking about being in Blize. Just wow, like a month ago. That's dangerous. That's like one of the dangerous was to go to I thought that too, but according to her, it wasn't. I don't know anyway, where's that? I'm going? All right? Cut to. Where'd she go to? Was she shack? Oh my god? Yes, the porta john was hilarious. I didn't see a porta john. Oh so you saw when he had to leave to go to the bathroom. First off, nobody dresses better the blue suit. Yeah he was in. Yeah, he gets uping like he's sneaking away and he's seven foot six. Where's he going? Seventy? And of course Chuck can't live well enough alone. He's going to give him hell on the way there. So the next night, which I guess was last night, Okay, they had a portajohn in the way. Oh yeah, right behind him. Oh my god. They are so funny. They're better than the Games. Dude, Yes, you said that, And I'm like, I'm going to make it more of an effort just to watch. And then it's so such good entertainment for. Those that don't know what we're talking about. In the middle of a you know, the studio show with NBA Charles Barkley and Kenny Anderson, Kenny Smith, Ernie Johnson and Shaq Shack had to go to the bathroom. He couldn't wait anymore. He gets up in the middle of them talking and leaves, and. Of course the cameraman follows it. And they said he'd been doing shots of olive oil with the studio for a couple of weeks, that that's what was causing his problem. Wow, I didn't know that's what did it. Charles yelled at him to don't forget the matches. Yeah, oh, they're so funny. They are good, and I think it's coming to an end. Last year, this is it. Why do they screw things up? Well, I mean, dude, eventually it had to end. No, no, I know, but it's not ending because of them. Yeah, that's what's maddening. There's something to do with the NBA, I think, huh, because they're having to work at ESPN. Hope ESPN changes who their crews are because they are not not very good. They they literally make it difficult now to watch a NBA playoff game. Yes, with the commentators, I will say, though, the lady commentator, which I don't usually like in men's sports, I'm not trying to be sexist, but it just doesn't. But they're always trying to be a man. I don't need to be man. But the lady that's was the Tennessee basketball player terrific. She's really good. Yeah, she doesn't try to she just gives you like. I don't like Doris Brooks is always trying to sound like using male cliches and stuff like that. Just stop trying too hard. Yeah, And I don't like the guy who has to put the slang on it. Oh uh, just stop. I think he was in your top ten of awful announcers. He's terrible. Yeah, what is that? Guess? Yeah, that's how awful he is. Let me get back to your list here. I'll find it. Of course, I got my list. All right backwards and forwards. Yeah, we were out a couple of weeks, so we didn't get an update. You had your community service trip that you did to Kevin Harlan. No, I'm talking about the the the black guy that's like he literally comes up with these sayings, oh skip, like that was saut or something like that, And I'm like, what do you. Keep trying to be? Yeah, he keeps trying to act like he's yeah cool, yeah, slang, Yeah, he's awful. Why can't they beat Mike Breen? Yeah, just be Mike Breen like he oh bang, you know this is great, you know, just oh yes, I know anyway backwards and forwards. Yes, your community service. Now and one of the most rewarding things I've had in my life. Yeah, I'm anxious to to you know, how to do community service for my public service announcement is don't speed. I thought a speeding ticket was a fine, right when you go ninety seven, It's not a fine anymore. It's threat of jail. And literally, like I was going to spend at least six days in jail if he was nice to me. I was going to spend three days in jail. But instead he gave me seventy hours of community service. And I was getting down to the wire. I kept trying to sign up for things. I kept trying to go to Tennessee or Western North Carolina, and then I signed up in December. Granted I wanted to go in April because it's warmer and then they can filling up the Samaritans purse, you know, the Billy Graham thing. I kept signing up for that, and then I could find mission trips, but they were all international, right, and I really didn't man. And so it just happened to be talking to the Frenches one night and Catherine French said, Hey, I just talked to somebody at Rushburg Baptist Church. Well that's where it originated from. He actually went to is it West Liberty somewhere in matter science anyway. So it's a group of churches and they have people, and they've been doing this for years. And they go to Lee County, Virginia, where it's the poorest of poor of Virginia. Dude, there's nobody, Dude, it is the poorest of poor. It's but good, I mean, nice. People, the greatest people you ever meet. Yeah. And so this was a legally blind woman who honestly looked like she was younger than me. Her husband looked younger than I was, but he had such diabetes problems, diabetes diabetic problems. He couldn't feel his feet, so he was immobile. He hasn't been in the shower for years because he can't get over the shower door or the bathtub. Yeah. It's a real thing. Yes. And so while I helped build the deck with one group. The other group renovated the bathroom for them. I never went inside the house. I just stayed outside and dude, it was as cold as cold could be and got as hot as hot could be. It was just good. It felt good to be outdoors doing real work again because I get to do that with a desktop. And I'm not kidding you. I was probably the youngest by ten to fifteen years. Them old dudes outworked me. I was exhausted, whooped, dude. And then I learned about the food pantry. So the next we got done in two days. With that, they thought it was gonna take us the whole week. But these guys build ramps for a living, not a living, but they're retired and they build ramps for local people that need ramps at their houses. So it was like clockwork to them. God, it was so fun to watch out. A person who knows what the craft, dude. And all I was trying to do is stay out of the way at Fronst and then I would pick up on what they needed help with. You know, man, I'm going try I'm not going to obviously take over ever, So I just see what they're doing and then I try to help out, and they could not have been nicer to me. But then you know, we learned about the food pantry. I mean they were serving fifty families a day, the two days that they serve and then I was like, well what do you do because they can come once a month, and I was like, well, what do they do after this week? And they go they go to another one and they literally these families circle to get food to feed their family. And then the last thing we did was we spent two days just I mean splitting firewood. And it was a log splitter. But let me tell you, I couldn't bear hug these logs. And because I was the youngest guy, I guess who they picked. I have to lift these they put these on here, So I mean technically I was putting them on the log splitter for two solid days. But there was a guy there and I'm pretty sure he was in his sixties. That guy was stacking them for me, so I didn't have to lift them all. And when he was and stacking them, he was picking up the wheelbarrow and moving it to the guy that stacked him all day long, who was in his sixties. Never a break, I mean we took one break because the splitter ran out of gas. Yea to catch a drink when you. Can, Oh man, Kyle Lee. It was just fun. It was really rewarding. I was glad I got to do it. So if you want to make chicken salad out of chicken, you know, got a speeding tickets. Oh you know, go back in May to the court hearing court date. So looking forward to getting that off my chain. Will you do this annually? So this group they do a trip to Lee County every year, and they do a trip to Newburn, North Carolina. And so what I told him was, you know, taking vacation from work. But I think what I will do is alternate with them. There's so much fun. And then a new Burn. I'd love to go down a Newburn because that's where the condo is near there. Yeah that you know, it's people down there that need help from They're still helping people from the hurricane of twenty eighteen. It's crazy. The person they helped last year didn't have a floor in their house, Like the water sucked the floor out of their house and that guy's been walking on floor Joyce. It just makes you, it humbles you. Yeah, it really does good. I'm glad it was great. Highly recommend if anybody wants to ask me where to go. I'd love to go with friends, you know, and they would do fellowship at night and talk about God. Oh. I was just so inspiring. Just get chilled. The Lord works in mysterious ways. I mean he made me go fascinating. Yes, and Uncle Joe had died, right, yeah, I just thought about all that stuff. Yeah, that's great, great story all right. For me, it's pretty much been trying to build a basement on a house that doesn't have a basement. Yeah, under a house that doesn't have a basement. It is uh, what are he trying to sneak out so he doesn't get to talk to me anymore? Gosh, all of them wow dead to me. For me, it's it's pretty much been it. Uh. We did have a trip to Raleigh this weekend for my baby shower. I didn't even know that until Kevin said, did you get home safe? Yeah? Yeah, it was fun, to be honest with you. I was happy to see Rachel's having a baby. Yeah yeah, that just seems so fast. Yeah, but she's like twenty six or something, maybe even older than that. I swear. It just seems like she was whatever age. I know we're ten because. I think Logan's like twenty two period. That's crazy, twenty four. God. So anyway, we had a good time down there. I'll tell you. We're in the process of purchasing a vehicle for my wife. She wants a new one. Oh, really getting rid of the Buick, going from a Buick to a Buick. She really likes the Buicks, so she wants to downsize from an Enclave to an Envision. My mom has a small Buick. She loves it. Yes, my wife loves Buicks. It just feels like a luxury car without the luxury price tag. Like everything is leather, everything is nice. It seems built great. Now, what I didn't know. I had no idea that they were made in China. Buicks like that blew me away because I said something about ordering one, and the guy's like, oh, it's three months to order, and then comes from China and there's a tariff now, and so I'm like, all right, forget it. Trump's changing that. Yeah. So anyway, my dad quick story. My dad was a car salesman, so there is a lot of stuff I know about car sales that probably most people don't know. And I, you know, when I go to I can't stand salesman. I can't. I can't. There's just. There and this guy comes across the lot and I knew. So he spent the whole time trying to sell us a car that we didn't want. Yeah, and I told him that this is not my wife wants this color. And sorry, well, we can get that from another dealership, but we can't offer any rebates because it's coming from another dealership. Why wouldn't I just go to the other dealership try to it. Yeah. I mean, I'm not from here, so obviously I drove here. But dude, he was persistent about this one. And so when we left, I told Ashley, I was like, listen, they leased these things and they're on time limits. And I said, there's a board in there in the sales office and it has vehicles that have to go, and they're going to try to get rid of those. I said, what sucks is my dad would have because he was not just to say he was the general manager of a dealership. He would have killed you if you pushed away somebody and didn't get a sale because you're trying to get rid of the cars that are on the board to get rid of right, And but that was that guy. Yeah, hey, get rid of our inventory, but be make a sale, yes. And it just so anyway, that's gonna be a fun process. You ever look at. I don't ever now get a vehicle ever without Auto Trader. I just love Auto Trader. It's just so easy. I don't know, we bought, we've gotten and I don't want to say that we're spoiled. We just I've gotten spoiled with purchasing new and I know it's a bad investment, but I enjoy having. I don't know. You can get new on auto Trader too. Okay, so I don't mind. Listen. I'm very good at well, this is what we want, this is what I'm paying, and if you can't do it, somebody will. I'm fine at that. That stuff doesn't bother me. What bothers me is when you try to tell me what I want. It's like it's not gonna convince you. Why, Like I'm literally the guy that goes, how much can you give me? What's financing? All right? Zero point nine for three years? Okay? All right? And well if you do that you don't get the three thousand dollars cash back. All right, so let me do the math if I do straight of what eight percent? Now? Yeah versus you know, so I'm that's I am the guy that does all the math. How Urgent is actually wanting this change done? So you got patience? Yeah, time, and that's always the best time to buy when you just don't care. Yeah. So have you ever noticed though, that when you start looking, you are going to get one? Oh yeah, it's like eating a chip and you can't have just one. Once you go onto a lot to start looking, it's going to happen. So here's the drawback, and I don't know how to fix it yet. The first thing I noticed when we got in, and it's it's the car she wants, just it was the wrong call. You think she wants the tiny one so you can't ride with her. I left out the funniest part of the whole story. She just it was the wrong color. But the first thing I noticed was a stupid button on the dash that had the A on it. The auto start. Yes, and you can't override it. Cut it off? You have to, he goes, Sure, you can't. You just cut it off every time I might right, every time I do it every why wouldn't it be the exact opposite exactly. Let me leave it the way I wanted it. So the funny part was Ashley drove around the lot. Well, when we stopped, they parked between two cars. Well, when we got out, I opened the door. I didn't hit the car next door, but when I got out of the car, I guess the door came up and was up against the car, and so I went I closed the door and I went about that long of a scratched. So I'm like, oh my god. Well Ashley turns around and you know how she is. She makes everything worse because I'm trying to rub it and she's like, oh my god, like and then starts laughing, and I'm like, move, like, don't bring him over here. And so we walk off the lot and I'm just like, this is horrible. This is absolutely horrible, and she's laughing. Can you imagine how all from that happens to them? Hey, rib ex brother in law. Way back in the day, that's what his job was. Colors on Parade. Do you remember that company? They just go they go every lot to lot to lot, that's what they do for a living. They figured those little deans in on car lots. All right, moving on, Yes, we've somehow gotten stuck on this, but. We just started this. This show's gonna go over. We've got a two weeks without so I got ten clips. I think I'm going to slide down this weekend. All right to South Boston. They have a race. I was ready to jump in with you, but then I looked at the weather. I'm out to point my life seventy five per chance, and not to point my life. I just hate battling. I don't know, no, I agree, I agree. It's a two o'clock race, though it's not at night. See, I only want to go to the night races. But yeah, well I will go with you when we But you you're sponsoring one. Right, yes, car seventy five Corey Done Motorsports man. I was u I watched the first race of the year and it's their biggest It's almost like Daytona Ray it's their biggest race. And uh so he qualified like fourth and I was like, heck yeah, and it was a packed field. Well dude, he before I know it, it was in second and they just didn't have cautions. Yeah, and he just couldn't catch up. But he but he was strong. And so I talked to not him but Larry, which I guess is his father. So basically did that literally just make noise while we're on? Yeah, and it was worked anyway, Uh, it was. It was neat that they finished second. But he's like, you know, we got the setup pretty much. Last year they spent the whole year trying to get the. Setup, and this year sounds like they got it. They got it. Yeah, and so plus they purchased a new car, so they haven't even ran that yet. Well, I do want to go with you. Let's just go when I know it's going to be good weather. Yes, I agree. So although it'll be good weather and it'll be ninety five degrees on a Saturday night, you know what I mean? How mugg it can get South Austin. I was not never been to South Austin. Well, if you sit where I sit, which is in the booth, you know tair. Condition, Well that's the way I like to roll, all right. On this day in history, how about nineteen eighty five, Coke changed its formula, which sparked a massive revolt do you remember that? Oh yeah, huge, yeah, I mean it was you're too young to know this, but Coca Cola took the original sugar cane out right, yes, and went to an artificial flavored sugar. And here's the question I have. Did they just let that mole over and then they just merged new coke to be coke? Or is the coke that you buy today Coca Cola Class. So I used to say Classic on the can. That's a good point. I don't know what phaps so in the it sparked act. Three months later they switched to Coca Cola Classic and they brought back the original formula. But I'm like you, I still do think there's two different cokes. No, because when you go up to THEO, there's only coke and Coke zero. I mean, if something's called coke and coke zero just started what five years ago, maybe. That's a good point. I don't know, I have to look on it. I mean, sure they're ingredients through on the back of it. So it used to be they brought in new Coke and then they gave you the option of buying Coca Cola Classic, right like ESPN and ESPN Classic. But now there is no word classic on coke anymore. So I wondered, did they just quit making the Classic and the news went away? Or did they go back to the original and we all just drink the original now like new coke went away? Okay, I need to do some research work on that. That's your college assignment. I have too many assignments, Emma. We just added one that's more valuable to your education than anything else you're studying. What do you have? Two weeks left? Yeah, this is very terrible two weeks but yeah. And then you're start back in the phone. Then your aunt asked say that we should ask her. Yeah. I literally was about to say, you guys are supposed to ask me about moving on? Emma, what have you been up to work in school? It's very boring? So why do That's why we don't ask her aunt? Yea, we know what the answers are. Hey, I didn't have to work on Easter. That boyfriend, I didn't have. To work on Easter. That was swell my dad seventeen to zero and twenty one to zero in cornhole. Corn Hole is one of those games where I feel like. What did you just say? He lets you in that's what fathers do. Not that not mine. No, we met his father or her father at a basketball game. He does not look like that. No, he looked like. You didn't like you me. Yeah, because you don't. You're mean to his daughter apparently. No, I don't tell him that. Nobody listens what he's at work? Where does he work? Bwxt all right, Legacy Media, Yeah, ABC News, Pope Friends as updates. I just got staff to pipe in. There's Coke, Coke zero, and diet Coke. It's all the classic now New Coke never made it, so it's all the original. So Coke zero. I don't think that's right though, because Coke zero doesn't have sugar and that's what they switched from. Right, So I don't know if I trust my sources. Is Coke zero no caffeine, is no caffeine. No, it's no calories, no caffeine. One of them is no caffeine or Coke has a caffeine free it's the gold label, right is that? Not? Cora cook zero is zero calorie. But lots of bad stiff. I like it, though, I can't do. It all right, go ahead, I'm sorry. CBS's Pope Friends is lying in state for three days. Okay, uh, I mean really most of them is covering the Pope and then NBC. Yeah, headline was in his first hundred days, Trump still leans on old foe Joe Biden. What does that even mean? I don't I didn't even I didn't even waste my time to click on it because I'm like, what are you talking about? Okay, So it's been one hundred days. We finally heard from Joe. Wait till you hear this clip that I play later. Oh, he's I actually texted you we need to bring back eighty million my ass. Oh my god? Is that dude? He couldn't even I mean you think if you're going to come back and speak, yeah, at least dumb it down to where he can get through it. It made me wonder is he writing his own stuff because he's I mean, does he has speech writers? And it's the same ones. It just as a flashback of what we used to listen to, the trash. It's awful. Yeah, I can't wait to play it all right. Oh, in this day, I forgot to tell you about mine. Yeah, And it was one of the things that I watched on Netflix, so it kind of segues to drama. Is the Oklahoma City Bombings on Netflix did a documentary on it. It was fascinating to watch that again. Yeah, I have not seen that. I've seen the clips like that come up, but I have not seen it, like timoth mvay. Right, yeah, so I thought I knew the story, but I did not know the story. It was interesting for the documentary and it was well done, and it was only an hour and a half, which that's right up my alley. Yep, worth watching. Moving on to drama yep. So I finished nineteen twenty three. Okay, on to nineteen twenty four. Know, actually it goes from nineteen twenty three. The next one is nineteen forty four. That's into World War Two. So nineteen twenty three was fascinating. I mean it really was. The ending was great. I've been debating whether that's my next one or not. Oh, it's it was good. It's definitely worth it. Okay, I loved it. I thought it was great from start to finish. Harrison Ford's phenomenal like always yep, uh oh, this one got me really good. So I thumbed through TikTok a lot, and I usually see stuff and I saw Jim Cavizl. I think it's how you say his name. He's an actor, and he was Sean Ryan. I was like, oh, he's been on Seawn Ryan. And I'll go weeks without Seawn Ryan and then a clip will come on. I'm like, oh, why am I missing it? And then so I went to watch it, mainly because they were discussing the passion of christ I saw this. I saw a clip of this. Oh dude, yeah, it is a fascinating interview. Yeah. First of all, God, the media can can persuade you so easily. I always thought that guy was just a little bit off his rocker, and then I watched this, and I know the media is off its rocker, Like the guy is a normal guy that they turn into, you know, because he's Christian, that's all it is. But dude, I learned so much about this guy that is fascinating. You know how I don't like to know, Like, don't tell me a part of a movie. Don't even tell me what if you liked a part of a movie, Like, I don't want to know any part of it. I've watched the part of Sean Ryen and it makes me want to watch the Passion of what does it called Passion of Christ? Have you ever seen it? Now, you've never seen it? No, And here's the thing. So my drama is I started a few weeks ago and I told you this. I am now hooked on Chosen, like I cannot wait. Wait what? Yes, so you've gotten over the cinematography. So when we first started watching, I told you yes when we were here last man, it's like an outdoor play. It's somewhat boring, you know, the dialogue is slow. Yes, I don't know the story of the Bible, so it's interesting for that reason. And I almost gave up on it. And I said, I hope because so many people started watching it that the cinematographer gets better, the storylines get better, dude. And when I'm watching this series, I'm in a third series now, third of the season, third season, I'm like in the fourth of Wow, I cannot wait. It is so intense. There's a line and I don't want to do with anybody else either that they haven't seen it. But the storyline is so good, like it's real, like to me, it explains the Bible. But if you grew up with this guy named Jesus and now he's telling you that he's the Messiah. How can this guy that I grew up with, You know, that would be blaspheming, right, it would be like. Yes, he's in the middle of that church and he does the scripture and they have him read and I think Joshua and he says down to give the interpretation and the main preacher tells him, why didn't you read the rest of it? He said, because I didn't want to talk about war and battle. That's not what we're doing. And the guy says, you know, how dare you? And they get into that argument, and dude, he says the words the preachresses, the old man preachresses to Jesus, how dare you? You should like, I'm going to fail everything I can't say, but he says, you need to repent under the Book of Moses. And he says, I am the Book of Moses. Dude, I got chills like he just he did not back down. Yes, it What it did for me more than anything else is I've often wondered how could Jews kill Jesus like it? Never like did you just tell me the ending? I mean, what is wrong with you? You? Always God? I've got that far. I'm only an episode. I'm only in season three. No, I'm just the Bible. I'm telling you, like it always fascinated me how and yet you're when you're going through the Chosen you start to see the apostles. Yeah, and you are his disciples, and you start to see the struggles that they have. Oh, you understand the struggle like they're seeing the miracles. But then they're like, well, wait a minute, because you don't. You have to put it in perspective that all of this was foreshadowed in the Old Testament. The Old Testament, right, he was returning. But they you got to understand, they're oppressed. So they're thinking this guy, this you know, is going to come back, Warrior Reacher is coming back and just start clearing. And I can understand the struggle of really, this is what we get, and it's it's all of those things. That I am enjoying, enjoying it tremendously, Like I told Marty the other night, And she hasn't been watching it because I started ahead of her, and and again she started behind. So, like I said, the first season, I just I almost quit. Yeah, but then I've gotten so into it that some of the episodes are so powerful. I can't watch another one after it. It's like, I got to give this a break. Yeah, it is just too intense. It is so good. Well that's awesome. Yeah, yeah, I'm glad that. I'm glad that's on your list there. Yeah, so but yeah, if you you gotta, I would recommend if you're going to watch The Passion of Christ, to do it either alone or with somebody you feel comfortable with watching it. Like, oh oh, Marty came down the other night, she goes tears in your eyes. I was like, no, sternergies. Yeah, and it's Jim covisil put everything he had into that film. It's unbelievable. So it's definitely worth watching. But if you've watched it for people listening, go watch the Sean Ryan interview and learn what that what hell that guy went through playing that in that movie. I had no idea, like that guy is amazing. So yeah yeah, all right, So. Moving legit now to talk about my goalt. Where was that coming up on the sports. Let's talk about he's just suffered with and I got gal Yeah. Yeah is hopefully that's getting better. So I found out today it's it's pseudo galt, it's fake galt. It means it's not done by, it's not diet. It doesn't have anything to do with your diet, so I don't worry about that. It's not a build up of yuric acid. But it is a form of gout. So but it is painful, My god, is it painful? So did William get out? Yes? Okay, you better hope Emma that you never. It's not fun, No, it is not. Is it an old age thing? Yes? I think so.

If there are any car salesman out there that want to make a sale on a Bilic, you can hit me up at four thirty four four eighteen seventy four, just just so you know, because I'm tired of looking at this point. Trud Or Trader, I think you'll enjoyed the experience. I've never done cars dot Com, but Auto Trader's always done that because I just put it in the filter of what I want. If I don't like what I see in twenty five miles, I go out to one hundred miles and now they'll bring the vehicle to you. Sweet all right, sports f one, If. You really enjoying this swet season, I am too. It is so good. I am too. Like even if i claren is good, you don't know which McLaren's going to be good. That's fun too. Here's what I'm hoping for now. I know you like Zach Brown, but for me, I have sort of grown to not like him, and I really like Christian Horner with Red Bull, and so I have built this up in my own mind that Christian Horner is here and Zach is here. And so when I hear Zach say we don't have a number one driver. We have two great drivers and they're going to battle it out and we don't really pick which one wins, I think to myself, that ain't gonna work. Well McLaren's always done that. Okay, But I'm just in my mind, I'm thinking that's not gonna work. Yeah, because eventually they're going to have an issue, and they had an issue last year. So now you've got two battling for a championship. Last year you didn't have that. Now you got two battling for a championship. That's why I like this season. And Max is right there too. Yea, so one screw up with your team and he's back in the lead. It's called as Mercedes getting back up there. Yeah, and you got that whole Hamilton thing. What is going on with Ferrari? I mean, they're not awful, no, but they're. I really thought this was the Now I didn't know with Hamilton. Yeah, and you know, but Williams is decent, Hass is decent. It's supposed to have been a good, good year so far. I guess I'm trying to figure out because all I heard in the telecast was, you know, Hamilton is just getting adjusted to the car. Things are different. That's why he's not as good. Nobody else has afforded that luxury. Carlos Sins goes as another team, He's supposed to be good, damn it. Yeah, but you know as well as I do. In this series, it's cars. I mean, other than verse staffing, it's car. Okay, But I mean I look at that and I go, Signs goes from Ferrari to Williams and he's competing. Yeah, they started competing last year too. I mean he went to a team that was getting he's a new car. Yeah, it's what I'm saying. But man, he's only finished. They're still buying Hamilton. You think Signs is behind Hamilton. I think Signs is only finished in the top ten twice. Well he had the wreck. Well there, Yeah, it was a new car. He had to get used to it. I got you anyway, I do. I've enjoyed the season so far. All right, But they're going to be in Miami this week. I'm so excited about that. I love that. Do that instead of South Boston, let's go down there. If it's raining in the South Boston's go to Miami. I don't have Look you have South Boston money, not and you're sponsor in a car. That's right. We don't have not eno F one car. Not enough if we can get the grow Street logo like on the wheel of the Mercedes. That's what. What's his name? Did? He just stuck a sticker on the side of the car when he walked by him during pre race stuff? Who did that guy? We like the farm the Jeremy h Really yeah, he is his little brewery. He just walked by the car and stuck it on. Really, he's an idiot, all right? Nascar, Yes, back in Daga the best, yep, fond memories of that place. I have something I cannot wait to tell you. But I'm gonna wait till Carolina con. Yep, we'll wait till Carolina Kevin to get our picks. But Dega is is hey, you know real quick, go back to F one because here's what's crazy. My wife tells me that there's a guy that was supposed to be in court last week, right, and he literally sent paperwork in that he couldn't be in court because the F one race was going to be in Miami this week and they are mandatory have to be there putting. Apparently he works on some crew, right, and it's legit. So my question is when are they going to do a documentary because I've always wondered, how the hell did they put all that stuff together? It is amazing because Trent, it's not It does not look like like a NASCAR garage. You see them, oh you know, it's a garage. What they're in looks like a pristine frigging factory. To me. It looks like they bring in the hallers and they stay in the hallers, but they're all within six inches of one another, right, and that they all stay in those little pauses. Yeah, yeah, it's amazing. But how do they put all that stuff together? Yeah? Because they're not It's not like you're moving it from Martins, Fielle. Richmond, right, and they didn't start Monday, that's right, right, I mean just all the signs, cabling. I can't imagine. Yeah. So, anyway, nascars at Dega for for those who don't know, Emma, you may not, I know you're probably not a NASCAR fan, but what makes Talladega special is the infield and the stuff that goes on in the infield. It is a party twenty four to seven and it is. It is a. Blast, one of the best times of my life. Yep. And so then the race comes on and just it's it's even more incredible. Yeah. So anyway, I can't wait for that. That's this weekend, so you'll have I'm sure all three are there, right, truck Exfinity and uh yeah, call it. I would think so so good. I wonder, yeah, the trucks your race. I wonder what the entries will be. Usually you get you get some people to enter that normally don't raise. Yeah, I wonder who that'll be, Morgan Shepherd, God, oh but Jimmy Johnson may Yeah right, it'll be interesting to see see who does that. Well what well, I was just going to tell people that are listening, they're like to fast forward through sports when Carolina Kevin cavinall and we've got a big announcement to make. Oh okay, yeah, all right. I can't wait myself because I don't know anything about this. Yeah, it's not on my agenda, that's right. NBA Playoffs, is there any matchup that you're curiosity you know, is perfect? Up. I haven't watched any playoff games yet, but I would you know, if the Caps do well, which they're in the number one seed in the Hill. Oh what did you say? I said NBA first. Oh, I want to see the Lakers lose, so I care about that one. Yep. I do like the Timberwolves anyway. Yep. I would like to see like an Oklahoma City Cleveland, which will be the worst ratings ever. Yeah, but I want to see two good teams that haven't been around doing. It no offense, but Cleveland's not. They'll get smoked by Boston. Okay, just because this is our first year, you got to pay your dues. Twelve twelve teen, twelve man deep team versus two people. Okay, So i'd say Boston in four and we'll see if we get there. Yeah. Yeah, I do like the Denver series. That's been intriguing Denver and the Clippers. Oh speaking of the yeah, the Denver Yeah, the Clippers because they're saying Kawhi is old Kauahi again. Yeah, I kind of want to see how that goes. Yeah. Yeah, he's been phenomenal so far, and they're and they don't like each other. Correct, That's really cool. Yeah, a series that gets testy is fun. And I think the first game was overtime and the second game was close too, So yeah, that's an evenly matched series. So I am interested. Can you Boston won it last year? But can you remember who they beat? Yeah? Dallas? Okay, let's going to see if you remembers. Uh, NHL hockey? Are you following any I am following the Hurricanes. I like the Caps, yeah, and the Hurricanes. If youyone, this is no way you could have told me that that was Ofvechkin's first ever playoff extra time goal. No way, the game winner, yeah, and overtime yes, wow. I didn't know that. And people were going crazy because of that. It's like that has played in so many and that was his first. So going back to you said the pope headlines, Yes, so how I don't know how long the Pope has been the Pope, but during his time the big three leagues, the NBA, the NFL, and Major League Baseball, there's only one team that hasn't made the playoffs in those three sports since he's been pope till death. So there's only one team in those three sports that has not made. The playoffs while he was the pope playoffs playoffs. Yeah, isn't that a great staff question? Yeah? Who would it be? The Jets the New York my lord, are the only team that had not made a playoff in their league. Wow, I saw one the other day. Now you brought this up. It was a mimi not fact related, so it could have been alive, but I don't know it sounds it seemed like one of those realistic I. Think Bill Parcells is probably the last coach to coach them to the playoffs. That would have been the not Bill Parcells, but the the fumble the butt fumble guy. They were in the playoffs, then, Yeah, that was that was a no. That one was co playoff the guy that's on the ESPN that I can't stand, big white teeth Guy Hermann. No, the white guy, the guy that's know it all, the New York guy brother coaches, Buddy Ryan, Buddy Ryan. They made the playoffs. I thought, didn't he make the AFC channel like three years in a row. They would have had to been Yeah. Yeah, anyway, I saw one too that shocked me. Yeah. With it being draft coming up tomorrow night, right, the NFL Draft. Yes, one team, only one team has not drafted a first round quarterback since the seventies. I guess for yes, what team would that be? If the team will shock you just like, uh, you've had plenty of chances. Why have you not? Huh? I don't know. The last time this team took a quarterback in the first round Peyton or arch Manning was their first. Round the Saint Oh wow. I was like, holy crap, Well that's what I have a note here that my new favorite team is going to be. Whoever gets Shader Sanders? God, why are you so? I just love him? But do you think he's gonna be good? I hope that's not. What I ask He's won everywhere he's gone. Okay, he gets a lot of media hate, but that's what I love that too. God, he's got to be the right team or else. I'm hoping it's the Saints. H We'll see Yep. I hear Saints or Pittsburgh. But God, don't Pittsburgh have enough damn quarterbacks? Yeah no, but that would be the team he should be on. So he has to sit for a year or two. Yeah, a lot of the quarterbacks at Pittsburgh. They got rid of both of them. Didn't they. Oh, Russell Wilson's gone. He sent the Jets' wow. And uh Kenny Pickett's Pickett went. To he's been for years now. Yeah, all right, I know Justin Fields was there. Oh yeah, he's gone to what Yeah, Mike Tom what does he know? Yeah? That's why I was wondering who who did they get back? I don't know. Maybe staff will send me that too. All right. That is sports.

We are your go to State Farm agent. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. Call us today. It's time for news. All right, Eh. Pope Francis has died. He is known as the most liberal and I think pope of all time. And that's why is the hero on every channel right now. Yeah, Mason Rudolph is going to be the Steelers starting quarterback as of right now. Yeah. You gotta you gotta get somebody else, you don't. The best thing he ever did was a dent in his head where the helmet. The guy from the Browns, Garrett Miles Garrett. Yeah, maybe they'll pick up Myles Garrett too. The Browns resigned him, Oh they did. I thought he was going to Redskins. Mm. We're still unorganized? Are we unorganized? Because I'm talking sports now? Okay, sorry, I saw where the Redskins. We're gonna have those close in on a three billion dollar stadium. Oh okay, back where RFK Stadium was. Oh yep uh. Anyway, the pope died. Do I remember this correctly? Trent? What that? There's some sort of tradition that a smoke comes out of chimney, thank you. I vaguely remember it. But it's a council I think that chooses and so so they take names and then it's a secret vote, and you know that they got a majority vote by the smoke color. So if it's black smoketually the racist they haven't come up with an answer. If it's white smoke, then they have come up with an answer and you will soon find out who it is. Okay, something like that. Yeah, I've been watching Chosen. Well, I'm up on my religion. Is there any chance it's an American? Hey? O, No, it's been the talk. I mean if it was an anti trunk guy. Yeah, yeah right, Oh, speaking of Trump, Yeah, I got hit with tariffs this week. So it's coming home all the steel use. No, that ain't what got me. So when we work indoors, we use this emissions muffler that cuts out the carbon monoxide so that we can work inside, right, so it doesn't bother you. Hope you don't cut corners, Steve, like, buy something from China that doesn't work. No, no, your guys die. No. I have to buy these when we work at BNWS, so I know they work because there's monitors everywhere. They actually requested from me where I got them because they work so well. Okay, I found the guy and he's in Canada. So when we went to Charlottesville, I needed a couple because we're indoors in the basement or what will be a basement, So I ordered them from Canada. And then the tariffs came and I didn't think anything about it. He gave me a price. I paid it. Well I didn't. It's not like he charged me extra because of tariffs. He never said anything. He just charged me and shipped them. Well when I got them, I know, took them up there whatever. And then like three days later I a bill from UPS that says we paid your tariff. And here's the bill. It was three three hundred and fifty dollars. Wow for two mufflers. So call the guy and ask him if you can start making them here. Well, that's what I said. I'm going to research. Yes, And the tariffs doesn't make me think screw Trump. The tariffs make me go. Where can I buy these in America? Yeah? So yes I don't. But when I first got I was like, damn from yeah exactly, But yeah, I will find somewhere in America to purchase them. Somebody will make them, or I'll make them myself. A kn't That's what I say. Tell Steve to take them apart and see if he can. Yeah, figure it out. Literally, it's just a piece of pipe with baffles in it. That's all we need to do, all right, logan make one and all. Mark there you go. Have you noticed prices in No, I haven't either, and I mean that legitimately. Yeah. As a matter of fact, I when I went by the sheets and forced gases down, it's yeah, it said diesel was three nine And I'm like, what. So I've noticed that in the media they've changed their their tone or their wording to say prices will be increasing. Yeah, you know, they don't say prices have increased, like when when Biden was in office, people are like, hey, the prices have doubled, or you know, we're paying twice as much as we used to for this. Yeah, and it was well, it's Putin's War, remember it was all the excuses. By the way, Putin's War still going on. And yet exactly so anyway, all I hear these pundits say is how prices are going to increase. And it got so bad the other day that they're now saying by Christmas time. So they're trying to start to scare you as hey, when Christmas comes around, the prices are going to be through the root. So this is a classic play and they I've known it my whole life. They try to manifest it by continuously saying it every single day. Yes. So my best example was in two thousand and eight when McCain was running against Obama. It was the end of George Bush's economic times and we had the burst right BUBBLESE What word did they use over and over and over again during the summer. They haven't used the word since. I mean they suspended their campaign. Because they kept using the word depression. Oh yes, it wasn't recession. They kept saying depression. So get this last night, this is right up your alley. What you're talking about. Happened to be walking through the living room and ABC News was on the little bit of time that I was in the kitchen area listening two or three times this lady said in the I don't know if it's seven the same news segment. It could have been two people in two different ones, but I know I heard it twice in that little bit of time of saying the words the worst economic April we have had in one hundred years. That's what they said on ABC News last night. She's talking like it's fact, but not once did she say what her measurement was. She didn't say, was it exports, imports? Was it inflation is at the doo. So this morning I was trying to think, what would you use as your so I googled the Dow. I mean you can put one year ago, two years ago, yes, and you can slide it across. So the Dow is like I thought. When I heard that, I was like, well, I kind of remember the Dow being at forty. We must be down at thirty. Okay, it's at thirty seven. So I just took the little mouse back. Do you know when we were at thirty seven again? And it might be thirty nine, but you know when we were at thirty seven? The last time was August? And then I went back to last April one year ago. We're two thousand higher than we were last April. The Dow isn't even worse than it was April year ago. How can you say it's the worst economic April that we've had since for one hundred years? Are you talking about trade? Yeah? Well, let's not forget when in Trump's first term when the Dow was going through the ceiling. Remember people forget that it was in the seventeens, right when Trump took over. Thank God for Biden. So I mean, in all seriousness. It was in the seventeens. Yeah, and when it was going up, do you remember them saying you can't measure the economy, of course, but now all of a sudden, the economy's measured off of the stock market. Which Trump doesn't hurt help that because every time there's a good day, no doubts. Yeah, yeah, today was a good day. Yeah it was up four hundred. Yeah, so yeah, I don't I look at the average. That's why when somebody had posted on Facebook or something, thank you Trump, look at this awful. You know what you're doing to my retirement. Yeah, I said, you know, I responded with he helped take the bait on those people. He helped my four oh one k. And they were like, how is that? I'll take I think it was Biden's twenty percent or something like that. Yeah, And I said, well that explains a lot, because I take forty in Trump's first term. Yeah, like who would accept ten percent less? Yeah, that makes no sense whatsoever. You don't take their bait. And that includes that includes COVID. Yeah, that's how much the dow grew under him. Yeah, like it's so stupid. Yeah, I know, you can't you can't convince them people. Man, No, they're unconvincible. Like like, I had a neighborhood meeting last week. That was the other work thing that I had to do, So that's why I couldn't come to the show ye myself last week. And we had a huge rezoning that's been in the news for four weeks, right, we got it rezoned. And the council people that are there doing this politic and stuff that is just literally saying words that. I know all about it. It absolutely means nothing what they're saying. It's just politics. Oh, you're pulling away from these projects. No, we're not. You just found something in the budget that's equal that you want to pull away from and you're making that the story. Anyway, I can digress. But we had another neighborhood meeting to explain what the traffic issues are. Okay, it's supposed to be in the news. It's supposed to be a guy that has a petition of two hundred and sixty people. Do you know how many people came to our neighborhood meeting. We invited four hundred and we put out four hundred flyers. Actually we made four hundred. There were three hundred and seventy five homes. We guessed how many homes that were in the neighborhoods along the street. Six people showed up, right, And the lady says, it's irritating to me because in our neighborhood we have this group, and the people that created the group none of them are here tonight. And I was like, that's what I'm talking about. Yes, it's just we saw it with the election here. Remember when they annexed and the next people ran against them. They were gonna We're gonna put you. I mean I think he he literally said to bart town manager, we'll put you out of a job. Yeah, and none, none of even come close to getting elected. Just oh man, it's a lot of noise. What I told were on the council people there, it's a lot of noise, but it's no real energy, you know. I mean, so, yeah, you just got to push through. So I am curious to see how you answer this one. Yeah, so because there listen at the end of the day, it is tricky. So how does Trump the Trump administration defeat the unelected liberal judges without losing the public's trust that he's not destroying democracy? Because it is a fine line. So the MEMI that I've seen is it shows Bush, shows Obama, shows Clinton, and it shows all the amount of people that they deported and how many injunctions against them, and it was the number was zer right. And Trump has one hundred thousand deportations and they were in the millions, tens of millions, right right, He's got one hundred thousand and there's three hundred and sixty injunctions. That's the game, it is. But how do you defeat that? I know that's a tough one because it's it's okay to let them all in, but we can't take them out. Yeah, I don't get it. It was a due process to bring them in, but you're creating a due process to take them out. It's ridiculous. But I don't understand the whole due process thing because they never answer the question he's had his due process. Right, he processed to come in, and we're not gonna let you, so we're taking you out. I don't want to get that either. But I mean, he's been to court twice and lost, So what more due process do you want? George Soros found a way. I mean, that's what's sickening about it. Well know, Thomas Jefferson wrote about it. I mean he said that was going to be a problem. Yeah, he knew the judges would be the ones when it all, you know, And and so my question is, how do you how do you how do you believe in the justice system that constantly is now the Supreme Court is going to decide to limit the powers of the the uh district. Yeah, judges, So we'll see if that happens. But until that happens, they're just gonna. They're on the right judge. And yeah, it's awful, man, absolutely, And listen, do I think it's a winning strategy for Democrats? No, they look like idiots and they don't even know how bad they look. The problem with them, though, is they're using a judge that's unelected, so they're kind of hands off from it, you know what I'm saying. So that's another Joe, I know, but you're you're flying to another country to meet. That's so stupid. But they think it's a winning strategy. Let them keep doing it. I know, what's your on CNN? I mean he's like, keep using that Jennings. Yeah, oh dude, do I have a clip of him. Who is the dumbest woman that was on ESPN? Who is the dumbest Oh god a Heill jalil. Yes, but are. Up against Scott Jennings and I've got a clip of it. We won't even believe it. Yeah, all right, So, speaking of Democrats and how stupid they are, coming up, in just a few minutes, we are going to do our version of top ten Democrats for candidates for twenty twenty eight. It's a little early, don't you think. Yeah, but I'm gonna throw these out there because I just I'm curious. Okay, Well, they just look like they have no clue what's going on. Travis and Buck we're both talking or Clay and Buck. They were talking about this exact thing this week. So it's little early, ain't it. I know That's what I was thinking. Anyway. The Democrats look crazy. They but from what I understand, it looks like they've landed on aoc to be. They're new and they're drawing crowds. I'm not gonna deny it. I watch her and Bernie and I'm like, but what did I tell you? I said, they get in the way of themselves. And I saw two rallies where people took over the microphone and I'm like, yeah, that's your party. Now, and you can't even be the party of twenty percent. That's what I'm saying. Keep doing it, idiots. Yes, okay, all right, so we've got our win win win. We're gonna win win, win, and we're gonna make America great again. This is a clip of Trump talking about Jimmy Carter. Have you heard this? I know he talked about him when he died, but no, I haven't. I can't remember her. Yeah, all right, cut to Jimmy Carter died a happy man. You know why because he wasn't the worst president and Joe Biden was. Dude. Oh god, I just I love him. And yeah, I can't wait to hear your stuff. I hope you got some Caroline love Lovett stuff. Carolyn No, oh, she's terrific the Press secretary. Oh I did love her. Mmm. All right, on to today's top ten. That might be the hell now your topkin for the week. She's more like a five. Sorry, I was gonna say that might be the biggest swing between talent. Well, I would say Biden to Trump, but almost as big would be KGP Claude Van Dam to Caroline Lovitt the biggest swing in talent? Or how about the secretary of Defenses? Yeah or yeah, someone brought this up top ten. This is thinking outside the box. But how about Nancy Pelosi to JAKEM. Jeffries the difference in talent? Like, I had no idea that I was. I was watching something today where they were talking about did you. Not google analytical stuff in school? What do you mean? How are you putting Haikim Jeffries like we were talking about bad to great? Yes, I'm saying Nancy Pelosi is up here. Yeah, this dude is down here. They're not even on the same level. I'm just telling you. Stana drop yeah massive. Okay, So what would be a better analogy would be Hakim Jeffries to Mike Johnson's. Okay, yes, but I'm what I'm trying to tell you is what they were saying. What made Nancy great is she literally would meet and do the headlines and these are your talking points, and she picked who went out. This guy is not even organized, like he does nothing. I don't know if you've ever seen him speak awful, but I mean at least she had her party. Do you know who I think if we had we should do a top ten people we can't stand to listen to here, Corey Booker. Oh he's on my list. That guy's Oh he's on your list to run for president. Yeah. So this is my top ten Democrat for president. And number ten who I think personally would be hard to beat. His Number ten and that's Josh Shapiro. Yeah. I would make him number one, you would, yeah, but the Democrats won't write true. That's why he's on my number ten. Yeah. Number nine is Whitmer her. Hide in her face at the White House because she didn't want to be seen when he was. Doing an idiot. Number nine or number eight is big Mike. I was scared of her, but I think she's past gone now. She had her chance this last. Time, hope. So number seven Stephen A. Smith. That is such a funny it is. But he I think legitimately he thinks, because I've heard him make the statement, if Donald Trump can. He's going to be the example why I think when I give who I think is going to be the guy. He's the reason why I think. This Number six Pete boot Edge Edge. Of course he's running. Yes, you know he's gonna run and he won't get ten percent. Uh. Number five Wes Moore. I thought it was Moreland, but maybe that's that's probably a general Westmoreland. But that's who Clay and Buck think's going to be. The dude he's left of left. Like, if you've ever heard him speak, he's bad. Well, what Clay said was, you know how they tried to make Tim Waltz a normal dude. That this guy is a normal dude. That's what he's That's what I said. Yeah, I don't like him at all. I don't even know if he walked in here, I wouldn't know him. Number four, Yeah, you're man, Corey Booker Man. There's just something about him. He's so fake talking. Just stop trying to act like you're Obama. You're not. Like I hated Obama, but Obama could talk. Yes, this guy fake talks like he's Obama. Well, worse than him is Hakeem Jeffers. That's true. He talks with his hands, he never says anything. Yeah, Like somebody asked him about their twenty percent approval rating. Well, we work hard every day to make sure that we are working for the people. And I'm like, what the hell does that mean? Number two? Yeah, Gavin Newsome. He and Jos Shapiro, I thought for sure were going to be the ones going against each other. Number one, and number one is AOC, so. Claion Travis thinks she's going to be the VP with Wes Moore, and I would actually vote for that if it's jd Vance versus Wes Moore. But she's the VP, I'm probably voting for them. Good lord, the hell's wrong with you? I know, but something about them, okay, I mean. There's zero chance that. So on my list. Like, the only scary part about that, Trent is like you and I both know she cannot physically answer any questions horrible, but neither could Biden and he got elected. Yeah, so that's what makes you scared. I mean, Kamala got sixty five million votes or whatever she got, right, AOC's more talented than she is. I mean, she is all right, She just she's she. Runs the Amazon of her own freaking district. I understand all of that, but nobody cares. She looks a certain way, she can talk a certain way. I'm telling you she's gonna be It'll be tough. But my thought was listening Clay and Buck kind of influenced me to this. The Democrats are so bad and they keep pinning themselves on the twenty percent side, and nobody seems to be swinging at them except honestly, Bill Maher. Did you see what Bill mar did? So I haven't seen his monologue yet about going to speak with the president, but did you see what Larry David did? Curb your enthusiasm? Guy did He writes an op ed and the New York Times prints it, yep, which is dirty, yep. But all they're doing. He writes, dinner with Hitler is the name of his op ed piece, and they print it in the New York Times, and he's down. He's like, just ridiculing Bill Maher for going to have dinner with Hitler. Right, Bill Maher was honest in his discussion about it, the little clips that I've seen. But this is the way of Hollywood in the left of saying, hey, any of you guys step out of line. Yep, we're going to tell this guy who's Jewish that he went and had dinner with Hitler. You know what I mean? Yes, yeah, they dirty. Somebody said the article wasn't written for Bill Maher. Yeah, the article was a whistle blower. That's what they call dog whistle. Yeah to all the rest. Of you, Yeah, don't. Don't y'all listen to it. We can't touch Bill Maher, but we can come after you. But that's what I think that party just let the twenty percents keep screaming and doing all their things, But it's going to take somebody that is an Elon Musk kind of businessman, that's a Democrat that's going to tell the rest of them, I don't agree with Trump. Trump's whatever JD vances, whatever their means spirited, but this is how I ran my business, and all of you kooks are just going to have to step aside and we're going to start saying the stuff that Trump and essentially start agreeing with Trump but nicer than Trump. Mark Cuban, Ugh, no, I'm just saying. No, no, somebody like that. Yes, there's gonna be an outside of politics guy, because it has to be. It has to be a guy that brings normalcy back to the Democratic Party. Even if he's saying he agrees with what Trump did, you know what I mean, you can go in like if I was personally doing it. I would go in and say Trump did great everything. I wouldn't raised the tariffs that high. I'm not disagreeing with you other than you're assuming that the Democrat Party is on board with playing ball. Well, here's what works in that the twenty percent is never going to vote for us. They won't, right, they'll always vote for them. What he's got to do is get the eighty percent they're in favor of Trump some of them to swing back. No, No, I'm talking about the primaries. Yeah, I mean we only got Trump because we had a fair, open primary. Yeah. When is the last time the Democrats have had one. That's exactly what I wrote on one of my posts on Twitter is they keep hand selecting who they think is will win. They have to do it by they have to get back to the people. I mean, that's how they got to win. I mean, they hand selected Obama. And let's not right. I think that that wasn't hand selected. But I'm just saying, I mean, let's see, I don't. Yeah, they need to have a regular primary. They need to get it back in the hands of the people that would listen to them, and it's got to be people that talk pro Trump stuff, but you don't see it happening at all yet. Nope. But four years is a long time from now. That's why I said this really early, talk about to this. I agreed, But all right, that was a good one. Moving on, I just got three things to say. God, bless our troops, God bless America stock God. My favorite thing. It's been a couple of weeks. My favorite thing that we do here that the listeners don't get to do. But I know most of them have TikTok too, so they can find these clips if they hear it, if they just google a little bit. Is this is bad enough to hear? So I do the dumb asses first, in case you don't remember how I have Ada goes. So I got the dumb asses first. And these are rehashed dumb asses like they're bringing them back around, like we've missed them or something. But you've got to hear Joy Reed talk about Canada and how dumb it is. But look at her face is even worse if you can see it. Cut twenty Granpy Trump, let's talk. Let's talk. First of all, you can't make Canada the fifty first state without going to war with them, And let me explain how that. Happened, how that worked out. The last time we tried to go to war with Canada, they burned the White House to the ground in eighteen fourteen and won the war. Canada beat us in the War of eighteen twelve. They probably like their chances against us. We're not gonna beat them in a war because we have never been able to do that. You'd have to occupy a country that is equivalent of the size of the United States, in which the top two thirds of it is uninhabited, frozen forest land that touches the Arctic. You know how that worked out when. The Nazis tried that with Russia, which is the equivalent of Canada on that part of the world. We don't lose, dude. She used to be on a show every single night on MSNBC. Was there any contrition in her voice at all? Is there any humbleness in her voice at all? She literally says, we fought Canada in eighteen twelve and lost. Right. First off, my history lesson was we fought Britain. I didn't know Canada was in it, but apparently it built our national pride, our unity. So in any event, to say that a war of eighteen twelve that we lost. Even if you were right, why would you equate that to what we have today? Do we really think that they have the capability militarily to burn our White House down? They literally use us for military protection. And why would it have to be a war to be the fifty first state? Did we go to war to get Alaska? I mean, how can you be that dumb? Because they don't know. There's no one on that panel disputing her. If you were to ask her. It was Don Lemon's show. By the way, If you were to ask her, what year did we become fifty states? Like, I guarantee you, she would probably say seventeen ninety. No, I don't like the thirty five. But I don't think they know that we purchased Louisiana. Yeah, that we purchased Alaska, that we brought in Hawaii. It only takes a little bit of effort to make a better saying that, And she's yelling like and the people on their chuckling like she's coming up with good stuff. Let them keep leading, let them keep talking. The best thing we have now is social media that we can hear these things, and we hear people talk about this all right, so here listen to how stupid this is now still on in MESSINGBC. What's that dude, Larry O'Donnell. You know how dumb that guy is the guy, dude, I don't think I've ever heard a bigger lie than this. I mean, I literally looked up to make sure this was not fake cut twenty four. It is only now clear to me that this case does not just increase the risk of being seized and deported just for people who are in this country without documentation, or for people who are in this country on student visas or visus of any kind. In putting a green card, I knew that I did not know that the argument made by Donald Trump in this case is a threat to every single person in the United States, every citizen, every non citizen, every single one of us. What Donald Trump's former criminal defense lawyer is saying to the Supreme Court, in effect, is that Donald Trump can now have any person seized at any time, anywhere in their homes anywhere, throw them onto an airplane, send them to El Salvador, put them in the prison that Donald Trump is renting down there, and leave them there forever. That is the actual Trump argument to the Supreme Court. So what's the basis of that being true? He's just making a comment like it is no. I mean, he was trying to say that in the deportation arguments about you know how the Supreme Court tried to allow them to deport or not deport that whole injunction thing, whether or not we have to pause until there's hearings, that kind of thing he's saying in that court case. But literally, dude, that's why I brought it. He's literally just making up shit. What did they call him the Maryland man. He's not a Maryland man. It wasn't about Maryland man. It was about the court case. This was about deportations. If you listen to what he said, he's literally telling you that he can be picked up out of his house, that any one of us can that if Trump doesn't like you, Trump can de port you, pick you up and take you to the prison that he rented in El Salvador. That's on. It's that is literally, that wasn't that was an editorialb. Don't forget before the election he was killing us from MSNBC. He's literally killing us, don't you remember that, Like Scarborough's wife. Oh yeah, the women member, Yeah, he's killing us. Yeah. And then two weeks later she's at his house. Yeah. That's all you need to know about these people. Exactly, all right, Remember this lying yeller, Okay, listen to these lies and how bad they sound. This what kind of gives a good flashbacks of what we live three for the last four years. Cut twenty six. The parking lot and I had never seen I'd never seen hardly any black people and Scranton at the time, and I was only going on fourth grade. And I remember seeing the kids going by at the time, called colored kids on a bus going by. They never turned right to go to claim On High School. I wondered why, asked my mom, why so On Delaware is not allowed to go to school in public. School with white kids. Just mix that up spark. My sense of outrage as a kid, just like it does. I mean, and these young kids right here can. Tell you here. Learn about something that's really just unfair and unjust. You know, my dad, my dad was an honorable man, and my dad used to have an expression he said, Joey, your job's about a lot more than a paycheck. It's about your dignity. It's about respect. It's about being able to look at your kids now and say, honey, it's going. To be okay, and meaning, well, that's what you're all about. That's what the that's that's what the legislation is about. It's about dignity, simple dignity. There we go. Everyone. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, regardless of their standing, regardless of economics, regardless of who they are, making sure of the more than sixty million Americans we're living with disabilities are. Treat with dignity. Is that who we are as Americans? That's what it's about. I mean, they're just happy that he's finishing. Up dignity at work, at school, in their communities, in every corner of American life. Laws like the ADA NEAT advocates like you, you're the ones that keep it going. God love you, God, fight like hell every single day to make sure the laws respected, but do it with dignity. But he just mentioned there were kids down there. He's talking about dignity, yet he's yelling like he's angry. God, he is awful, was awful. I'm gonna throw it to you quickly. Yeah, and I want a quick answer. What school did you go to in the fourth grade? West Tabloc Elementary? And do you remember the conversations you had with your parents? Absolutely not. West Havelock. Is that in North Carolina? West Havelocks in North Carolina? Cherry opinion, Yeah, no, it's in North Carolina. No, you just switch to and I switched to my dad. The story started out with my mom telling me they were making and they were making a right. It was a colored people on a bus they were making They weren't making a right to the name of the whatever school, the high school that he was in fourth grade in. He just lies to the story. Yeah, literally, could be different, be the same conversation that he had in seventh grade. And they clap. So have you heard about him not making money, that he's upset that he can't make speaking engagements? His speaking engagement fee for that and for others is three hundred thousand. You have to pay him three hundred thousand, and nobody's asking him to come speak of course. Yeah speaking of liars, dude, Okay, this is better in person, singing it in person. But Elizabeth Warren, who's one of those that gives me chills to have to listen to her. Look at her face. Now she's on a podcast. Take a look at this dude and tell me if you think she's on a right wing podcast. She's obviously on a left wing podcast. And this dude has had enough of her lies. But look at her face when he calls her out on this the cut thirty. Do you regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity, He had a sharpness to him. You said that up until July of last year. I said what I believe to be true, and you think he was as sharp as you. I said I had not seen decline, and I hadn't at that point. You did not see any decline From twenty twenty four Joe Biden to twenty twenty one Joe Biden. When I said that he's a lot, he look, he was sharp, he was on his feet. I saw him live event, I had meetings with him a couple of times. Senator on his feet is not praise. He can speak in sentences is not praise. Fair enough, fair. Enough, dude, They are just liars. And when someone calls him out on it, the look she gives him like when he says he was as sharp as you and she goes like and then the look in her face was like, hey, let's stop this. That guy didn't stop. I guess what I've never understood is we have the power to change stuff like that. Right em a fall down back, then her chair. Crag anyway, Yeah, like in voting. Right Obviously we don't vote in her state, but people do. And when you're a person there, I could understand you saying, yeah, I mean we want a competent Democrat whatever, but that's I mean, that's who you dude. We re elected Tim Kaine, and I know it's just awful, man. I don't know how you do it. These cities are just winning, they just win. The But Tim Kane won because we failed in the campaign. Yeah, that dude gets beat if they do anything with un col Yeah, I don't know. I just these entrench guys. I think chance of beating Mark Warner, Yes, I think Mark Warner is probably going to be one of those guys that stepped down. I'm starting to believe that I noticed Dick Durbin stepped down or he's stepping down. Yeah. I don't know if that's a seat we win though, because Illinois is. So probably not. But I'm just saying I noticed these people are stepping down. If liberals take their place, then the party just goes further right, I mean left right. I see what's correct, They go farther wrong. Yes, and then we look more correct, I hope. So yeah, so here is the battle. I don't want to impede on on Carolina Kevin if he's on six. Oh okay, cool, cool, Oh, I got plenty of time. Yeah, I give you, dude, listen to this battle of the witty. So I got this under smart, but this is like in between. This is a segue of going from dumbasses smart. You got one on the dumb ass side and CNN I don't. I'm not a big fan of the fights, right, like when Hannity has those things where the three people are on the screen and they're arguing with one another. Yes, I'm not a. Big fan of Nope, I turn it. But because I know you hate Jalil Hill as much as I do, I thought, there's no way in hell CNN is paying this woman to come on this show, And how dare she thinks that she can go up against Scott Jennings? Are you kidding me? Listen to this little bit an argument. It's like she just says things and she's not used to someone correct correcting her yes, and and the look on her face. I mean, this is another one. You want to see the look on her face as much as what they say. Scott Jennings versus Julia Hill thirty five. That's cool. You admit that you want universities to exclude everyone now. Because there's no proof that they're actually being excluded. Because if that no, there is ninety six percent of contribution from Harvard faculty with the Democrats. What else you got? Okay, so you're talking about contribution, I'm talking about I'm talking about what people do is teaching people. So I used to teach there, I believe me. Okay, So clearly you used to teach there. Right, Yeah, I was. I was treated like an exotic zoo animal, trust me. Oh I'm faculty. Faculty is not conservative, believe me. Oh okay. So at Harvard, I just imagine all of these conservative politicians that go there. They go there because they don't feel welcome. They just go there. If you're trying to come on here tonight and argue that Harvard is a hot bed of conservatism. I'm not I'm just saying that they're not. So are we going to do the same thing at Baylor? Are we going to do the same thing at Liberty? Are we going to invite more liberal. Thoughts to those universities? I think of public universities or any university taking public funds, is violating the civil rights of Jewish students, or actively screening out conservatives and conservative viewpoints. We need to have a conversation. She was getting beat and so her way of arguing was to say something just out there that nobody's going to refute, like, oh, so all these conservative people go to Harvard and he goes ninety six percent of the staff donate. You know what I'm saying. He literally just threw numbers at her, and then she did not She's not used to somebody coming back and saying some She's been on ESPN and got to say whatever she wanted for years and years. I've seen these arguments. Yeah, including Candae Parker, who is now citing more with Democrats. Yeah, yeah, yeah on this, so what I'm and then correct me if I'm wrong, But they have brought up Liberty University multiple times. Yeah, and. I'm ninety nine percent sure Liberty got fined or sued by the government. If you google university's fins, you'll see by far, Christian universities the two universities have got sued the most money by far, not even like if you looked back at when Michigan State had the fondling Yonist trainer. Yeah, and when you had Penn State had Sandusky doing the stuff they did, they were in the find of the more order of magnitude of four million dollars. Okay, if I'm recalling correctly, Liberty got fined and Grand Canyon University got fined on the order of magnitude of thirty five million dollars. Like everybody's been four million, two million, eight million, whatever or to eight hundred thousand Clemson universities. In that list you can find a list of And the Biden administration killed Christian University. Christian universities I know, and I can't believe none of them talk about that because they always say, well, you know, they're not out here harassing the Christian university. And I'm like, where you did? You absolutely have And I will tell you Liberty University. People that I know have discussed they were afraid to say things that are getting to get in the public because they were afraid the buy An administration was going to pull funding from them. Correct, They literally were doing that. So they went out of their way not to look like an exclusive university. They went out of their way not to do that. I remember them, Harvard, sticking it in your face. They have invited democrats to speak at Liberty, of course, and I think Bernie Sanders has spoken at Liberty. I think he has too. So who's getting an invitation to speak at Harvard? It's not not even their graduates that have graduated and they're in politics. Yeah, get that invitation, she thinks, because she's going to find Ted Cruz. But the Ivy League guys that make it. They weren't. They may not think about it. Yeah, when you went to college, were you a conservative or a Democrat? I was a big time conservative. Oh you were? Oh yeah, I was in high school when nobody else was. You know who you know who helped him some signs ro I on Reagan. Do you remember that show with Michael J. Fox Family Times, Family Tized. Remember he was in the Younger Republicans Club. I dug that right from the very beginning. I was in part of that group, all right. So I mean, I'm just most people who go to college. I don't think they chose Harvard to be a conservative at Harvard. I think they went to Harvard and became a conservative over time. They went to a good school, correct, back when it was a school, not a political place. Yeah, I mean, listen when you have liberals, which I can't what's the guy's name, the lawyer, Durshwoitz, When when he's telling you, you know, the the university has lost its rocker, you know you should pay attention, like, if anything, Trump's trying to save the university from its own self. Yes, And how they gloss over the Jewish sight of it is beyond me. I know. Like it's okay, Like the. One the lady on that discussion, I think the one news the mediator, right, she actually said the right likes to use that, And I'm just like, are you kidding me? It's amazing how the left and the ACOU and everything that you thought that that party stood for about freedom of expression and racism has totally just changed. So we don't care about the Jews, yeah, like we're watching them be treated terrible. Yeah, again, they forget that we get to see it. Yeah, we don't. And by the way, there's a really big discussion that needs to be had is why are we giving billions to universities in the first place? Correct? I mean, I can understand, and sometimes I think they lump it in with tel grants and the funding for scholarships that type of thing. So I think that they're at talking about that. But when you when you listen to the endowments that these places have, which endowments is let's just call it a savings account, and how much interest they make on their own savings account that there are people that are in their colleges wouldn't have to pay tuition if they use their own endowments for the people that are coming to the school. What do you say? I was curious one time I looked up Liberty University's endowment. Do you know what that is? I don't. What would you if you had to guess? Emma, it's your school, have no idea. So the last time I checked, Liberty was at two point one billion, which was shocking to me. Yeah, So I looked up LSU's at the time and it was like seven hundred and eighty million. Huh, And I was like, WHOA like liberty is it's crazy? Yep. It just says endowment was valued at one point seven billion in twenty twenty three. Okay, yep, it was probably twenty twenty one maybe when I looked it up. So all those fines you brought it down you could be But now, I mean, that's it's crazy to me. You got another clip I do? Okay, good good night. I like to finish with clip number forty seven. We let Japan come in and dump everything right into our markets and everything. It's not free trade. If you ever go to Japan. Right now and try to sell something, forget about it. Open, just forget about it. It's almost impossible. They don't have laws against it. They just make it impossible. They come over here, they sell their cars, their VCRs. They knock the hell out of our companies, and hey, I have tremendous respect for the Japanese people. I mean, you can respect somebody that's beating the hell out of you, but they are beating the hell out of this country Kuwait. They live like kings. The poorest person in Kuwait they live like kings, and yet they're not paying. We make it possible for them to sell their oil. Why aren't they paying us twenty five percent of what they're making. It's a joke, dude. That's nineteen eighty eight. He's on Oprah show. I remember seeing that episode. Not once did I think that he was going to run for president. I just thought, man, that's a businessman that just is telling it like this, hoping that somebody else would just take those reins and run with it. I still go back to and I don't think we've grasped that as a country. In his mind, he sees America as like Dubai, like it could be the wealthiest of wealthy, just where everybody is wealthy. He in his mind believes that's here. And I don't think we understand that because we've grown up with the haves and the have nots, because we've been told our whole life, well, you're never going to be that, that's right. But he's saying, stop all this, bs, and we all can be this, and I believe him. I do too. Why not do it what was working before? Correct, so do it right. And going back to the whole stock market thing. The stock market thing just drives me crazy. Is just the just I mean, just the understanding of it. When there's a drop, it means people are selling. They just haven't bought yet. They're waiting for the thing to work itself out and jump back in. That's why then it starts going up. It's what you sold off and then you use that money to come back in. And it's it's baffling to me that if it's literally our economy is based off of what someone says, how strong is our economy to begin with? That's right, because I mean, let's be I immediately, when I click on the Dow, I'm just more curious because I don't even I'm not a trader, right, So but when I when I click on the Dow and it's down, the first thing I do is scroll to New York Times article and I click on it because it says Trump's you know, the Dow is down today because Trump's words with China, right. And then when it goes back up, you know, the Dow rages forward because Powell says that the economy, you. Know, consumer confidence, it's it's always something. And I'm like, look, if our economy is that finicky. It just as crazy. They always make it up like it's like you knew why people sold today, right, there's I mean, you know how big the market is. I could see if a sector, like if you said the sector was oil sell offs, yes you could say that, but not because Trump is blasting who the Federal Reserve chairman. Is just so stupid. Yeah, but I didn't know this till today. I found this out. Was it Ben Shapiro? I think I saw a clip that ninety five percent of the Federal Reserve are Democrat donors. That's a and then you just go, how did we get this way? And I think that that's a non. And and stop acting like this is brand new. By the way, George W. Bush. H W. Bush didn't get re elected because Alan Greenspan not raising or raising the rates. Right when it came up, do you know who Alan Greenspan married? I was just gonning to ask who the wife was. Yes, it was that lady that has been on MSNBC for years and years and years and years after. That he was a liberate and Andrea Mitchell. Yes, what a despicable human being. Uh, but I mean, how does that not get more play? The guy literally sabotaged George H. W. Bush's campaign against Bill. Clinton, And I remember it, yeah, because I always thought, man, that guy's one hundred years old Alan greenspand and I forgot. I do have one more clip just to give us some headway, or is Carolina Kevin on? Now we don't hit the buzzing he was? And then I think up what. You said six forty I try to wrap it up six thirty nine. It's six thirty eight. So just to give a seguey the end of the show. Dude, I don't know if it's because of chosen why I'm into it. You know, I love coaching and motivation. But this preacher guy, I'm now on his algorithm and I can't get enough of this guy. Who is it? His name is Terry Anderson, black guy down in Houston. Gotcha? Oh, he's like that old school preacher. Speaking of old school preacher and around. Like a loose to what are my dentures in the ice tray? Girl? Line up? Kevin? What Kevin? I'm wrong? You mean with wrong? Nothing wrong? We're happy? Well. I tried to call in, but it hung up on me. I was in the middle of a good lecture. Where's them? I'm right here? Where them? As soon as I saw you ring it went, you said bye, it hung up. So oh I did not say by Let's let's get that straight. I said, I just tried to call and just said you want to live call in? Say podcast call in? I said podcast call in, and all of a sudden it picked up and. I don't know, am, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I don't control the phone. Uh. When I got to the baby shower, to my surprise, Kevin was there. It was the shower on Saturday or Sunday. Saturday, Okay, I wasn't expecting Kevin to be there. So I turned around and I see him sitting down, and my mom was walking over because I just walked through the door, and she said hey. I said, hey, you wouldn't happen to have a nice gro glitcier tablet, would you? And she's fear immediately, and I was like, Kevin's here. She started laughing. She's like, real funny. Brian, what's a night you gloser tablet? He was having a heart attack because you were there. He was surprised you were there. Your father used to have him, don't you remember, in that little box he kept. To help him get a little treasure he did. He had a little I think he had a cross on it, didn't it. If you don't have them on. You, we'll be there one day, my friends. I hope not. I'll be sitting right here battles probably during Carolina Kevin's episode. What's going on? Brother? Just listening to y'all. I do have a question. I was in the middle of working and I saw this text string between you two. I have no idea what that was all about. What was that all about? It was some drawings and you were commenting, and. It's got a roundabout roundabout and crouching on his drainage on his lot. Did you get that answered or resolved or someone looking into it for you? Oh, we're gonna get it resolved. Because I had to bury the relative of a very high up person in the state of South Carolina, which is the Atturney General. So when I contacted him, he said, mister Slie, I just put it in an email. I'll go ahead and review it, and then I'll go in and send them a letter. So it all had a little more clout than my advice. So the Turney General is involved. Nice, very good. Hey, if you hurry up and bury somebody where that roundabout would be encroaching, then you don't got to worry about it, right. But that'd be out and the right away. They don't know, they got it right away from us, all right. Make a long story short. They were taking like zero point three acres of land for the drainage that was coming off of the roundabout when they have the you know, the man holes and the bulberts and all that stuff. So they needed some land for the drainage for their pipe. So they offered us seventeen hundred dollars for the little piece of land right at the road. Gotcha, Well, I've sent them a letter back and I counter offered and said, no, look, I said, seventeen hundred dollars, you don't you can't compare this land to a five mile radius of property around here, like you can't compare it because there's no other cemeteries in a five mile radius. So what I did is I took the square feet of zero point three acres, took the square feet of a four by nine plot, divided it, and we sell our plots for three thousand dollars apiece. And so I told them they owe us twenty seven thousand dollars, and they sent a. Check and agreed. People are dying to get in there. So and I told them my concern was, y'all gonna be dumping all of this water that is going around in rent. I'm about into the creek where my back road leads from my shop to the cemetery where they've got a mow grass. We got to go back and forth with the back code. Sure did, and went ahead and he roaded the road. Now we can't use it, and they're telling me they're not going. To fix it, So the hell they ain't. That's right, you're on it. The ag is on it. Turn in general, that's perfect. Yeah, that worked out in your favor. Man. It's good. Keep me abreast or informed. Yeah, he likes to use words or two. The better side of it is, we shall prevail, friend, But one day that you too. My fight in Kumata is that Latin uncle blood Sport? You remember? No, I never saw that. You didn't watch blood Sport? Nope, Jean Claude, hot down. I'm not a I'm not a gory fan. John claud Van Dawn, no trend like Rambo that was his hero. No, No, you're way off. He's a Forest Gump type guy. Oh, he's right here. You are acting like I'm he literally Kevin. Let me just tell you I texted him yesterday and I meant it, and I know you probably didn't think it was funny, but it text from me. You are supposed to hand over your man card right now. I have many of those reasons. Like Emma, he sends me a picture of his dog in a sling and he says I clipped his nail or her nails, and I'm like, no, get I mean, you've lost all credibility. I got to send this to Kevin. I can't believe you mentioned. This, Like, but who sends that to there? It was important. Let me show Emma, the same guy that played on the. What is wrong with Him? Well, she's a puppy and the last two times I tried to clip her nails, she did not like it and she kind of got kind of aggressive and I don't want to bite me and I didn't like the fight and it was hard to get all ten toes done. I think it's fine, it's twenty toes. I love eighteen toes. This dogs maybe like ten pounds. So I saw the internet is perfect. So I saw this thing like you put them in a pillow case and you hang them up there and then they dangle and they don't and she just looked at me like, what the hell's going on here? Poor dog? Oh she loved it. It wasn't a fight. It was just it was terrible. It worked great. No, it's like a hanging. It's like waterboarding the doll. She was comfortable. It's cushy. String you up. Then let me string you up when I get the Witzburg. Let's take you out back and string you up in the tree. At least we weren't fighting trying to get the nails clipped. It was beautiful, Brad said, sex swing for dog. Question mark. Her name is Ginger. Yeah, I guess you were Ginger to her. Not Rockey or nothing like that. Poor Ginger. What is wrong with you? What is that in the background? Who's yes, technically it is, yeah, that's Grandpa Joe. You're an idiot, I swear man. What is wrong with you? Is that. Little base in the back roof on? There's a face in the background. Holy cow? Why I did I apologize? Dude? I'm probably thirty seconds away from a text. I know that, and I just apologized. It wasn't done on a malice. That's terrible, Marty. I'm going thank you, Kevin, I with something, Brian. I mean this was supposed to be a joke about me and my gay Tennessees with a dog. I know, not Tennessees, but a picture. Good Lord. Does his dog sleep in your bed? No, she's still training. She's still training. Kevin. Do you know, Kevin, do you have any pets now or none? Absolutely not? You're done with the dogs, pet guy. I mean I have birds I feed every day. And Kevin used to have a dog we called white Lebron. For some reason, Kevin names is poodle Lebron. Yeah, poodle named Lebron. It was a she, of course, Lebron. Dylan just said she was transgender. I mean it was all right, god, Lebron, Lebron, white poodle dog named Lebron. Female. I took her to get to get clipped over at the place pet Smart beside Dixion there in Lynchburg. And uh so they're like, oh, what's the dog's name. I'm like, it's Lebron. She's a female. No, no shit, I mean she's a female yet Lebron. And I said, if you want to just put a k me on the end LEBRONI and uh so, dude, they like cut her hair. I got there like thirty minutes early before. They text me and said, you know that she's ready. They had ozing her. Hair and all in her ears and the decked her all out. And I walk up and the girl goes, oh my gosh, that's Lebron's dad. And I go, how y'all doing this? Shi, We're doing good. Please don't be mad at us. But she's a female. If we wanted to let her have her day. And I mean they had like booze everywhere, I'm like, it didn't booze all of her. This is why he doesn't have a pet anymore. Did she die? What she's still alive? Why did you give her away? I didn't give her away. I moved in and South Carolina. Dylan kept her. Oh he doesn't have her. Know, his mom kept her. And then she gave her away because she said, was. That poor dog. If you had a sling you could do you could do it yourself. Take with the bows. I could tremor paint her nails. I can I tell you what. I will pay you one hundred bucks to stick scooter in that sling, and I'll watch you try to trim his nails in that sling. It just it's amazing, it works. I saw it on the end. I can't wait. You bring Scooter over and we'll hang around. And you have a dog, we'll hang them up. Oh yeah, Scoots, he's got two dogs. No, you got a Chihuahua. And what happened to Chhuaha? This is not a good show for doll. Is no longer in the fly household? Did it bite Ashley? No? Bite you? No, it just pissed off Ashley. What did you do with it? My mom has it Jesse? Y'all had Jesse till Jesse died right here. But that was Ashley's dog. What kind of dog is Scoots? Scoots is like a mix between the Horror and Jack. Russell asked Brian about his his doll Sam. M hm. And you wouldn't be able to put Sam up in that sling, he would It would be like scissors hands, you would. You would turn out to be a snowflake. You would be after you tried to cut his nail, you know how. You sold up and then cut the little things and you pull it apart. The snowflake. Yeah, Sam would have been torn you up. What kind of dog was it? It was a corky, No, it had Kujo in it. He was the same. He was a corky slash Jack slash Jack Russell. And he would see a squirrel outside and his leg would get to shaken so bad that he couldn't get to it. He would start hyperventilating because he couldn't get outside to get this squirrel. Did that dog die? Yes, but it was a good like luckily Scoots was old, but he never showed it like I mean, he was even up the same day. Yeah, Sam, Sorry, Scoots died. No, Sam was on his way. Yeah, and just I took him to the vet one morning because he was breathing heavy and they were like, oh, he's got cancer, so uh put him down. I don't like this losing Maggie. Yeah, we change the change. The subject was Brian. Brian got Sam and he was at the apartment one time over out to Malay Road. Sam, You're always here. I may not have a girlfriend now, but I got you. He stayed with Brian all the way through what ten years? That Scoots that is yeah, Oh that's cute. He can sleep in your bed. He sleeps in Ashley's bed. Yes, don't you'll sleep together. Yeah, but it's her. She's on that side. Yeah, scoots on that sign. She's turned him into a terrible cuddler. That's what the you don't let your dog came ginger? Ginger is a great color. My dog doesn't even know I exists anymore. My la, my lab cuddles with me. That's how Marty turned Trent into a color. I can't I'm a spooner, are you? I can't have anybody touching it? Do you really? Yeah? Occasionally we have a king size bed for a reason. Why So, Emma, thank you for remembering. I would have got mad. If I'm on the way home. I didn't talk to y'all about this. We haven't got into Nascar. I got to tell you this, Kevin. So, Kevin, do you listen to Tyler Panel? Yes? Okay, y'all watched tonight's version. I'm so excited for y'all to watch tonight. I hope this works out good. I just got a surprise for y'all. Okay, cool, So I get to watch his uh. His color, skin color, skin color, skin look up? Tyler Panel TikTok every week. We usually drop about what seven. He does it Wednesday nights. Yeah, so I'm excited. I actually saw him on a live. Feed it's our Talladega version. And while he was on the live feed, I was like, sure, do miss you being on Life Liberty Happiness. He's reading comments and he goes, oh, yeah, I need to go back on Life Liberty. I guess he didn't know it was me. That's awesome. Well, I can't with to y'all here. Oh, we gotta talk about Talladega. Who do y'all got? Yes? Hey, I just want to say before y'all give out picks. I went on a four race wind streak at the end of last year. Yeah, and I had about four hundred and fifty bucks in my account. Yeah. I really didn't bet on anything else, and so far I'm down to thirty nine birth thirty bucks or something. It's amazing. It's hard. NASCAR is so hard to bet. I know, So I need this week to be right dead. On last week, I finished second. I had Denny Hamlin and I finished second at the Masters because I had Justin Rose. All right, what are your picks, Kevin, No, you don't get seven picks, three picks. And not all three ringers. Trent, Sir, I want to tell you right now, and I hate to say it, but this is Bubba Wallace's racing. That's a good pick. It's a great pick. I'm just telling you he's done been up there at the speedway tracks. And I'm telling you, okay. So you can use him as a dark horse, couldn't you? I would say midstream mid okay? Yeah, So who's your ringer? I'm going with going with Bush. I know Trent keeps saying Kevin. Eventually, sooner or later, but also is going to have a good run. And I'm telling you it's gonna be all this weekend because you're at a super speedway and those good drivers likes to get up and some crazy person takes them out. But I'm gonna tell you right now. I got Bubba Wallace, Austin Dillon, and Kyle Busch. Good Lord to childrens. Austin Dillon. Okay, Kyle Busch, Bubba Austin, you don't really have a ringer. I mean, I guess Kyle Busch is a is. A decent ringer in one in two years. So I like to think of a Ringer as probably top ten in the betting. Yeah a Blaney or Yeah. I'm just thinking those drivers are won't get in trouble in a late race. Calson was going to take out a bunch of people. Harrison Harrison Burton won that race last year. Total. Yeah, Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. The outcome is gonna be like this time, Dan, But. Don't you am I right? I think Blaney is almost due. Like, so you got Blanie? Yes, okay, he's he's the favorite by the way, right, but still, dude, just to give you that, well, it's fun to bet on NASCAR. He's eighty five to one. I mean like, if you bet ten bucks, you're gonna get eighty five, right, Yeah, so I guess I haf to one. But he's plus eight fifty. All right? Who else you got? So I will take Carson hos Ar as my dark horse. Well that is a good good, that's a big He's a you'd win four hundred and forty bucks on a ten dollars bet. In my middle of the pack. God, I just keep feeling like they're gonna turn the corner, So I'll go with Busher. Butcher. I keep waiting for that too. Man, they just don't. I'm waiting for them to show up. Maybe they will. So Keselowski's the one that would win. Take it that. Every time I go to Talladega, I always vote for this guy because he won when we were there. Ross Chastain, m hmmm. The watermelon guy my middle of the pack, although I'm looking at he's not middle of the pack. I'm surprised by this is Austin Cindric wow in my long shot? Is Ricky Stenhouse? Yeah, that's a good one. I was gonna say something about Stenhouse, one of one of y'all was gonna pick him. But listen, he's unbelievable, uh plate racer. Yeah, but he always seems to make that one mistake in wreck people. I'm surprised you didn't do You always love Eric Jones at Talladega and Darlington. Oh and House. Problem is when he comes around turn three, he still thinks of him and Danica sitting up in the fans. Was them looking across the railroad track reminiscent about the race they raced against each other? Them? All right? So man, this is kind of crazy. Ye all over the place, ain't the Trent? Yeah? Yep? Yep. How come, Oh Damn Ross Chastain is towards the back of these favorites. That's kind of surprising to me. They don't matter, brother Talladega. You could be in row number fifteen and make it up within full five laps, especially if they go to wrecking. Wreck them damn near. Yeah, I'd be surprised if Denny Hamlin's not up there. You heard that jokecatching Trent Yep? Wreck them? Hell no, didn't reckon Damn they killed? And so I just said, Denny Hamlin is uh, he's in the top ten for DUTs. Yep. What about old Bubba Wallace and sidekick as teammates, Reddick? He's due. A lot of drivers are due, you know. I'm curious now that. Don't get me wrong. I think Kesilowski is a good racer. But other than the one year where he won the championship, has he really done anything since? Tyler Penela just texted me going up right now? Oh yeah, I hope y'all can listen to it on the way home. I will, would you ask Bran? I'm sorry I was reading Tyler's comment. Kesilowski, other than the one year that he won the championship. Was he really a dominant driver other than that one year? Kesloski was good for a while he was. Yeah, he reminds me of Carl Edwards. How many wins? I think? I bet he's in the top forty drivers. You know what, here's what's wild. I like, go ahead and make my bets now, which I just did because when I watched the damn pre ray shows, they convinced me that, oh man, you know, like Cole Custer has a shot today and I'll make him my long shot. And damn it, Stenhouse should have been in those shows. Get me every time. Yeah, I got something for you. Yes, what? Yeah? I guess who's buried at my cemetery in Lake Member Gardens. Dick Trickle. There you go. Did I get it? Dick Trickle is dead? Oh yeah, yes, Wait a minute, Kevin, he committed suicide. That's exactly right. He killed his self. Was it at your cemetery? No, it's for long. No. No, he literally went to a tombstone and sat and killed himself, missing his wife. Yes, something like that. Still, seriously, he killed hisself. He's buried at my cemetery at Lincolnton. You're telling me something I never even knew. Yeah, he's what was he famous for? Dick Trickle his name? No, what was he famous for? While driving smoking? He'd like cigarettes at the damn Daytona five hundred while he's driving a cigarette. Yeah, David Pearson would too. Yeah, so with Jimmy Old Spencer. Jimmy Spencer. Yeah, I saw him just not too long ago at the car off Sharks. Mm hmm, what a great show. Jimmy Spencer broke Kurt Busch is his nose? Remember that right in the window? Ye? Wow, that actually changed Kirk Busch. That literally did change Kurt Busch in his little cockiness. I never I've tried to look up his ex wife, the CIA. It's just odd that that stuff has disappeared off the internet because she was sitting the c I. I don't I one hundred percent think that he is correct, Yeah. That she was in spy. She was, she was. Yeah, I believe I believe that he is right that she killed people and came home. You know what's another story that just kind of we just don't even really know about, is how the government and all them rated Jeremy Mayfield. Yeah, and he tends, I mean, he contends to this day that he was innocent. I don't know. You listened to him and he just sounded I know, yeah, because why I mean a lot of the stuff that he said made no sense. You know who he reminded me of was the guy who played in the movie Beverly Hills Cop and Point Break Point Break Nick. Yes, he as crazy as a loon? Yeah? Nick? It was no Nick? Is it? I think you're right? Crazy man? Crazy? Well, good show, guys, All right, glad to be back. All right, Kevin, you got any jokes for us for you? Hit out? No? I got something for Ema. Uh oh, I'm scared, Emma. This is a life lesson for you. Eight has four letters, but so does love. Enemies has seven letters, but so does friends. Lying has five letters, but so does truth. Failure has seven letters, but so does success. Negativity has ten letters, but so does positivity. You always have a choice, so choose the better side of it that was actually pretty good, didn't you, or. Something that was prophetic. Hey, what that's really good? Leaning to this going what we're leading to. So he preached a good message. I you know how I love to do like motivational things. And I don't know if it's because I'm on Chosen and I'm starting to kind of dig this thing, but do my algorithm went on to some and this preacher was so freaking good. I just get stuck out and listened to him. You know, he's doing the sweating and the people in the crowd, and he's just God, he's got that. I really wish Mark Robinson had not gotten in trouble when he ran. We needed somebody like that to lead North Carolina. Do we ever know if that was true? I mean, that's what sucks is we don't know. I know, I know. And this guy, you know, as soon as I googled his name to see what church was, first thing that came up. Preacher preaches has been divorced twice, you know what I mean, Like, none of these guys are Jesus. No, you know what I'm saying. Yet preach and they can preach the Bible and teach. None of them are Jesus. Why do we hold them to that? It's it's just there another way the liberal media gets to make fun of the right right or the religion. But dude, listen to this guy's expression. It's it's it's if Emma gets tired of it after two and a half minutes or whatever. But it's about five minutes songs. All right, we'll see you next week. You've heard me say this before. You've heard me say this before, and it is apropos for this message. Praise is the rent you pay for blessings you already enjoy. Let me say that one more time. Praise is the rent you pay for blessings that you already enjoyed. And looking at some of you, you are in the arrears in your rent payment. God kept you all night and you haven't said thank you yet. God opened the door that was closed in your face. God made your enemies leave you alone. God kept you on your job when everybody else was being laid off. And then when you lost your job, you never missed a meal, you never lost your car, you never lost your house. God's been good to you. You are behind in your rent payments, so now would be a good time to catch up. Sank that. Hallo Loah, Praise the Lord. What I have you gave me, wom you brought me? What I know you talk me? You made away out of no way. I'm not going to let anybody at this church out shout me. You better move, You better go sit somewhere else. You better find you another pew. You better get in another section. I gotta hello, Loyau. I gotta thank you Jedis because our own God. Sake. Let me talk to somebody that God has forgiven of a lot of sin. Come on, talk to me here. Some stuff in your past that's you're shame to talk about. You got some issues going on right now that you are to crawl out of this sanctuary. But grass, massive forgiveness, the statfast love of the Lord. Never cease it. His messy never comes to an end. There are new every morning. Great, hello louh. Great is the Lord's faithfulness, even when I'm unfaithful,
