Amm I, Hello, try things. Are a little weird today, Yeah, like you had issues sending the uh. Just so everybody knows, even though it's my show, I let Trent do the final markups for the show, right. Yes, I just don't like when things that I thought I did didn't happen, right, But I just want to make sure I didn't screw it. No, I looked, you wouldn't have seen it. I don't know why I hadn't done it. However, big news though, when you just mentioned it at h Underscore podcast. Have you guys not seen we jumped up fifteen subscriptions last week? Wow? Yeah, well I remember a time when we were begging for forty, like, oh, I can't wait till we get to forty. Getting good. But I think having you know, Kevin come in and talk about what he's done and his people you know, liked and subscribe, So that's just a good thing. Yeah. I had a sales rep come by the other day, possible, you know, if you're listening. I gave him a card so he could subscribe to the show. And uh, maybe he's tuning in tonight if you are. Make sure you talk to your boss. Be good to Uh have you on as a sponsor like that? Yeah? We uh, we have tons of audience, so it would behoove you. Isn't that a good word? Benefit them for sure? Yeah? So yes, anyway, make sure you do check us out on all the platforms, go to TikTok, like us, share us, do all that good stuff. So moving on backwards and forwards, it's such a good show today. I can feel it good because we're all just a little discombobulated a little. It works best. Your notes didn't come in. None of us had service. For some reason. We have T mobile and there's no service here right now. David doesn't have service for days in Verizon and Rannogg either. Iranians said, oh. Sorry, uh, it has been weird. Yeah, so my microphone hasn't turned upside down like it's supposed to be. Who wants to see that face? I have a face for radio. Although somebody mentions the rush limball dusk. My beard is getting a little long, mushyushy Who said that to you? A gentleman that I bumped into in the streets, He's like, oh, you're growing it out, man Jack. She has no clue. I barely know who that is. She was a little bit before my times too. Last weekend, Yeah, I really didn't do much. I rested because I had the great tooth extraction count. So I had my one, just one wisdom tooth taken out. You still had the other three in there? Why did that one go first? There was a crack in it and they said they could repair it, but he said, over time they're real rigid, so it'll probably break again. And he's like, but you know, we probably get six or seven years. I said, no, I don't want to be sixty getting a wisdom tooth taken out. Yeah, they might as well do it now. He's like, I agree. So we had it done. It's good. The place that did it was great. So, man, I love technology. I call it technology medicine. So they gave me a shot, they put me under, but that while they put me under, he said, look, we have this medicine that we can give you now that basically kills the nerves for three days, so you won't have any pain pretty much for three days. That worked perfectly. It did good. So because I've heard of people excruciating it is, I have a tough time with it. And so I will say that I've had pain the last couple of days because that has worn off. But it's tolerable. Yeah, I've just been taking I be profen to deal with the tolerable pain. So yep. But Easter Sunday was Sunday, and that is such a big deal for churches. But as a Christian, I don't I don't necessarily prop it up per se. But it's still Easter, so you know, you have that whole stuff, and my wife still gets buckets baskets for Easter, everybody including me. Yeah, it's crazy, that's what Marty's I'm very thoughtful actually yeah, thankful, Yes, not thoughtful. She's thoughtful. You're thankful. I'm thankful that she's thoughtful. Yeah. So I got a bucket. What wasn't it. Straps like, uh, you usual Eastern basketb you know, like for tightounds for we always know, we don't know what you mean. We do not know what you mean. One's with the little hooks on the end. You're not getting any better. To die down equipment. Okay, you could have said that first. You could have said that first. You could always use them, you know, you're always looking for a tight und strap when you're in your truck. Do you get jelly beans? No? I don't ever get anything like that. And then she got me a Trump clock that at every hour says something different that he says, Oh that's cool, great gift, but sucks when I put it in my office because I forget about it and it scares the piss out of me every time. Yeah, because it'll go mar America great. I'm like, ah, because it's right behind me. Scares me to death. So yeah, I got that. Yeah anyway, very good. Yeah for me. It was Highland County dishwasher. Oh yeah, the dish washer went up there and helped my brother, my dad, and my uncle up there to get that swapped out. That was not a quick job, you know, old house, old plumbing, nothing's level, old dishwasher right in there forever. So I had to run uptown twice, running Uptown's you know, fifteen to twenty minute ride, and then my brother and my dad literally spent an hour in the hardware store, like good lord, just trying to think of all the stuff that would need, and we got about ninety percent of what we needed and we still had to come back to another trip. Multiple trip. Yeah yeah, so did that. That was fun. You know, Brad so good at test stuff. Oh man. The one thing I'd say about that, say it, I just hate people that sit over on the sidelines that aren't doing but have to tell you what you should be thinking about or doing. I mean, you're not helping just people people. I mean, it would have been so much nicer to just everybody go fishing yep, and just let us do the work. And I don't have to hear anything, correct, But no, everybody, I guess that's the action that's going on. It's the way it is every time I go up there. Yeah, and it's I'm a Because of being in contracting, I'm always aware of safety and so that's always my biggest concern there is, especially when you're dealing with tractors and things like that. It can get very dangerous. My father in law lost his finger, and so you know, you don't like a lot of people. Yeah, one person on the tractor and one person hooking up the plow. I don't need three with hands in there. Yeah, exactly right. Yeah, I know your role here and it's not it's not nothing wrong if you just back off and let them work. Yeah, you know what I mean. I mean, I don't know anyway. I've always been the helper. So let's let's try not to run my mouth. Let's also state the fact that if you back off and let them do it, you will here. Oh yeah, you can't be the lazy guy that just sits around on the porch and watched all day. There is a fine line, no doubt about it. You can't. Yeah. Yeah, Well, if the shoe fits, and then for our Easter, went right and went to Raleigh. I don't mind driving. That's a two and a half hour ride up and back cat And then I did it so that I could get back and at least just rest a little bit Saturday night and the weather was so good, just sitting down on the deck. I'm so happy we can do that again and get up Sunday morning, and drove to Rileigh and came back Rileigh to from Rileigh the same day. Yep. Now I did watch a I'll put it on here. We went to we didn't have a sunrise service like we normally would because it was raining, so they had a regular service, which was fine. But when I came home, we went to the early eight am service and you're home, yeah, And I'm like, now, what are we gonna do? You know? And so I turned on YouTube and I don't know, I was scrolling. Oh, I was looking for Thomas Terret after the church. I was gonna try to watch their preaching, but it was so early. They still had another hour to preaching. And when I was scrolling through it, Billy Graham's came up. It sounds like I'd like to listen to old Billy Graham. So I hit it pouring down raining. He's still on stage preaching, and he had an overcoat on. Remember those long overcoats that men used to wear back in the day. Yeah, it just happened to be at a Tiger stadium at lsu huh. And the place was packed to the rim and it said nineteen seventy and I'm like, wow, okay, And it's just as powerful message today as it was in nineteen seventy. I was thinking you were talking about the sun was having a ceremony. No, this was the original, ok And I just I harkened back to God, how good Billy Graham was just preaching, man. So it was good. It was a good sermon. What you got going on this weekend, I really don't know. I don't think we have any plans that I know of, So probably just get stuff done around the house. I've got going down to the Greensboro Auto auction tomorrow with the client and watch a little one oh with the Counts Auction Realty. So we're going down to look at an auction. Watched all the cars be sold. Wonderful, So that's kind of cool. And then Marty's dad. He's selling a car on Friday, so I'm gona do a little bit of that and then Friday afternoon head to Charlotte because we have our first baby shower in our family, which is really good for that generation. Yeah, Audrey's having her baby. They don't know. They're gonna be the ones that don't know. So Brian had asked the question before the show. I wasn't no, because it's going to come off being a dick. No, I mean, and I just from your desk. I remember, listen. I remember when Ashley was pregnant. We went to a baby shower at my aunt's and I said, then, what do you mean I gotta go? Well you have to go? Why? Well you're the father, Okay, but it's I don't ever remember men going to any shower. I don't remember that either. And I don't know when that became a thing. I thought that was when women get together and they have little gifts. And is that when all these people do the pink and the blue, you know, the they you know, open up a cake and it's blue so they know it's a kid. Is that at the baby shower? No, that's another that's a gender reveal. Oh so that's not the baby shower. Do gender reveals right, because there are no genders. It's just yell eels, just brown. It's colorless. I guess it's purple. Is mem A going yeah? Okay, so this would be their first great grand kid, so I think I'm right on that. Are you picking up Memal? No, they're going down. Uh, Sarge's driving is going too. Yeah, so this is a main thing. Yeah, okay, Well, and we're all in. Brad and Eric are going down. So we're going to party Friday night. The well I say party, I mean get together Friday night, although we don't have any plans. And then Saturday at two, I think is the shower. Where's nobody staying? We're playing at a shriff. Most of us are staying at the Sheridan down at the you know. It's like, I'm not gonna say walking distance, but it's really close to where the event's going to be. Oh, the event's at a place, it's not at a home. No, okay, and her friends and her friend's been texting me this week, so yeah. Well that's nice. Yeah, congratulations, Yep, she's doing doing great. I know. Perry listens is Perry going to be there? Brother? Uh yeah, Perry. Oh that's right, Perry and Sarah they're coming. To Okay, wonderful Riley making the trip. Riley's not. She has some kind of formal or something she's got going on in college up at UVA. There's nothing more important. Than she's been cut out. She's no longer an aunt. JK wait, I. Have a question for you, trent Ya. Did you know your nephew was going to be engaged. I I knew that he was going to ask chance. I didn't know exactly when. And then say that again, yeah, I didn't know exactly when. But when we were in Highland, Bragos, I think Grayson's asked the big question tomorrow. I was like, oh really, and he said yeah. Yeah. He mentioned it when we were up there picking up the equipment the last trip we were on. Yeah, and listen, I tried to talk him out of it. I'm just kidding. Good idea. I did not so, but no congratulations. Asked him if he did like his old man did. Oh boy, Brad did it in a pizza box. He put the ring. He literally put the ring under the little you know, the little table that comes in the middle of the pizza box. I think he put the ring underneath that and she was supposed to see it when she opened up the pizza, or maybe it was on top. Romantic as hell. Jesus God, I'm pretty sure it was Erica. I'm pretty sure. Yeah. I mean, I just I thought it was until you just said that, and I'm like, oh. I can't fact check that. How many did you not? How many? Three times? How was yours? The first one? I did hers? Twice? I got engaged twice to Tanya. What Yeah, you know, you know what. I honestly forgot that too till just the other day. I was sitting there thinking about how I asked. Her to get the first time I did. No, God, this is like, uh, this man, it's really bad. Was that twenty eight years ago? But I can't wait to hear this. No. I got engaged at a restaurant that was the same restaurant her parents got engaged at. Oh, so that was the connection in Virginia Beach. And then when that went Kuputz. And I can't remember why I went Kuputz. Maybe she was still in college. I have no idea, but it was still it went Kuputz so then we got engaged at Camden Yards on the jumbo tronk. Okay, now that's that's perfec. That one lasted. Yeah for a little bit. Cool. I did. Everybody has so I did mine at the station here in town, Liberty Station. Ye. In the restaurant. Did you put it in a cake or something? No? I just did it at the table, just talking and. Just flicked it. No, I want to sit there. Had something to do with the magazine. Off the table? No, she said, yes, she would have talked to me. But it did burn down. The restaurant did burn that, So you take it back, I asked her. I was like, hey, is it a bad deal because the rest where we got engaged. Preacher did too. No, just kidding. Old Mark Rooms, yep. One of the best ones I've ever been around, and one of the best weddings I've ever been to. He still had it. Yeah, he's still preaching. Yeah, all right, yeah, put on unless Oh oh. Thanks, guys, I really sure, Well. I don't have my notes. I'm trying to get into the car. Play okay, fine, hurry played pickleball this weekend. Awesome. Sat beside Brian at church. Yes, that's right. You came to church with us? What did actually say? That was great? She actually seemed happy to see me. Then Brian was like or he hit me two true? And then Sunday Easter dinner. This weekend, I'm dog sitting for trends. Yeah, thank you. Because I was in a bond, I was way behind. I was I thought this was going to be a last minute trip. I thought this was last minute because he texted me Tuesday. Yes. Yeah, usually I'm a little bit more prepared than that. But anyway, I'm glad you could come through for us. Old Ginger will love you. I'll take her home. Well that's awesome, all right, Moving on this day in history. This day in history, I had. Nineteen seventy five, Frank Robinson became the first black manager in Major League Baseball. Over damn. He was a good manager. He was a good manager. Oriols, yep, Orioles and Nats and didn't get his World Series with the Giants where he kept getting close and didn't win until he got with the Knats or was it the Rangers. He didn't get one of the Nats. I didn't get one with the Nats. Okay, he was just always up there so he got one with the Giants or the Rangers. That's a good question. I don't know. Not to get staff on that. Check it out. My history was same thing baseball. I read yours. So in this week nineteen seventy four, Hank Aaron passed Babe Ruth for the all time. Right, so that has been surpassed though, right, oh yeah bye, legally right by the steroid users. Oh, but it hasn't been surpassed by someone who's not a steroid user. Barry Bonds is the only one that went past it. Oh okay, yeah, why do I feel like sure hand? Oh no, this is for the career. It's like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, seven hundred and thirty five home runs. I'm sorry thinking about. Some season you were probably thinking it sing was Hank Aaron never hit more than forty That's crazy, isn't that well? And had the most ever? I think like forty four was the most you ever had. We'll have to get Dave on that. I'm pretty sure that's the case. So isn't that cool this racist country when you have the black manager and I have the black home run. Hater hitter in all a long time ago? Yeah, it's not like it just happened. All right, this in history. It was brought to you by Need Insurance in Bedford. I'm David Honekuer, local State Farm Agent.

Okay, dude, the just talk a real quick second about it. Lee Pulliam, I don't know if you know who Lee Pulliam is. He is sort of a track legend of late model, right, and I love that Junior does this. You know Josh Berry was that right, right, He was a late model guy that was a legend but never got a. Shot till Dale Junior Dale brings him along. And now he's in Cup and you know he does okay, not terrible by no stretch. Matter of fact, he's wanna race, right, Lee Pull is that same guys. Matter of fact they were rivals, and so Dale has given him a shot. His first race was Martinsville. He finished his fifth, probably should have won it. He missed a shift because the whole you know, and he felt horrible. Yeah, and in a different car. Yeah, you know that's that straight whatever it's called. They do that in the Rally Series two. Well, I didn't think about that. You're right, because I hear that's one of the big steps is you have to go from the H pattern to the. I don't know, he missed a shaper's fun his tires or did something. And the dude you could tell, like on his face the anguish. But I'm like, dude, you finished fifth in your first ever race, Like, come on, stop beating yourself up. But in his eyes, he knew that that was kind of his only that's his only race that he's been. You know. You know, he's still looking for a ride. But Junior had him on and just talking and dude, I learned so much, like he said, so you know where did, where'd you get your start? And he said South Boston and Junior said, oh, like that place is like the mecca of racing for Lake Model and I mean to hear Dale say that means yeah, it's the and then he said, you know, I won track championship blah blah blah, dominated whatever. And then I went over to the Motormile and I was like, holy cow, and Junior goes, oh, you know, like this is another great venue local, right, And again I'm just listening in awe of here's two tracks that we have locally that legends are talking about. That's where people cut their teeth to make it to the cup level. Have they started racing yet? What at Southwest? I think it was the first Yes, oh. That's right because there's the car's tour. Didn't they go not. Yet, that's coming up. But they did start And a matter of fact, the first race there, Lee Pulliam won. Okay, because he's going back into running some modified stuff. So anyway, Dale asked him why he switched from South Boston to Motormile and he said, you chase cars. So if there's more cars in a race, it's a bigger purse. So you're just you know, and he said to just ebbs and flows of where the cars are going. So you go to where the cars are going. Anyway, It is interesting to hear because you get the history. Right now, things happen. And the thing that was neat to me is he's like, so you never got that phone call. You won three national championships and you never got a phone call. And he's like, oh, I did, Kyle Busch. You know, they called for me to drive their truck and I went and I thought, man, this is it. I finally made it. And this is back in twenty eleven. This is how long the dude's been racing. He said. They sit down in a meeting and they tell me, you know, we've got a sponsor for the truck, and this is how it would cost for you to be in the truck. Oh. And he said that's when it hit me. Oh. And he said, dude, I ain't got ten thousand dollars in my name. And he didn't say what the number was, but I'm sure it was probably one hundred thousand or more. Wow. And he was like, that's when I realized I'm never going to race. Like that was kind of eye opening to me. Too, the like even the f one guy. Some of this guy's pay to be Enough once. Yeah, it's crazy. So anyway, I've been following that stuff, so I never really got into any shows, but I do recommend it because there's a lot of good. The one I'm getting on now is Jack Sprague. Remember him? And I'm just learning about Jack Spragg, Like, why didn't he ever get it? He never got a shot really either, So anyway. That's cool. There is a show that I need you to watch. Oh I did. Oh, you didn't like it. You told me to prepare for it, so I was letting setting you up. Okay, cool, So Marty. When I was sitting on the Deckaturday evening enjoying it, somehow John Ham's name came up and I said, I really like John hamm but I haven't seen anything. I said. He was really good in Landman. Yeah, and you know he just died after the first season, I said, And I loved him and mad Men, but I don't know that I can really say what else he did? She said, didn't you watch that with me? One of the it was called Your Friends and Neighbors on Apple TV. So I was like, okay, well to check it out, So I think Sunday night I started, and Dude, within the first fifteen minutes I was hooked. I know why. Yeah, this guy was just like holy cow, and so man, I've loved every I've watched two episodes there each night since. So, Emma, have you watched it? What your friends and neighbors? If I had to describe the show, it's like somebody snuck into Trench's room and stole his. Diary and started writing a show. I know you haven't done all of that. No, no, but I'm like the luck yeah, yeah, like there he is, yeah, exactly. And this guy just what I love about him is it's like water off a duck's back. He's sort of just care okay, and then how much money do I have? What I thought? He just just and then he's like, other than the stealing part, that that part bothers me. And it's still me too, and I don't understand it either. That bothers me. But it's gotten more entertaining as he does it more and more because so, Emma, the premise, this guy's on his worst luck that you could possibly get on, and he lives the most lavish likes lifestyle, not that I'm in that category. But he lives in this great lifestyle. He just says, on a whim, he just starts stealing from his neighbors. He goes into their So no, not at all. It's actually really funny. It's very funny, but it's so very true. Yeah, like it's on Apple TV. That's exactly what happens in wealthy neighborhood. Yeah, the parties that talk about each other. And the best part to me, what episode do you want? I think I'm on six now, okay, you're about you a little ahead of me. But the networking. Yeah, the maid never crossed my mind that that would be a thing. Yeah, and then I thought about it. I'm like, wait a minute, I could see that being an absolute thing. Yeah, they know everything that's going on in a house, everything because they're going through all your stuff. Makes me think about what Jazz knows about me. But it's a great show. And Emma, if you're at the house watching the dogs, do you do have Apple TV? You pay for it? I think that's Marty's app But yeah, it's on. So anyway, Yeah, that's is that drama or do you got more? That's all drama? Well, do you ever have any that you bring to the table so. Busy, you won't like them. I don't like the books Marvel. No, I've been watching Grazing out of Me again. Okay, moving on. See I said you want. To like him. I rewatched the same shows. I don't have enough time to sit. Down and watch the news show, the one with doctor Dreamy. Oh McDreamy make Dreamy. Yeah yeah, yeah, I was just dead now. Yeah, that's sad mixed. And he went, oh my gosh, I was so sad. Because he had als. Yeah, like they did documentary and they were like, I think he lost his dad or's mom to it. All right, moving on, lame media headlines are back. Okay, ABC News, I missed him. Trump backed Republican Clay Fuller Finns off Democrat challenger Sean Harris to win Georgia runoff to replace Marjorie Taylor Green Good. So we kept a seat. Yeah, but when it's his fins off, right, all right, give me a percentage that would be this is awesome. Okay. So if they fended off, I'm going to say fifty two to forty eight. No, I think it's gonna be somewhere around sixteen percent because they're still counting, still counting. Wow, but I think he's won by fourteen but it could be sixteen percent when it's all said and done. How about defeated easily? Thank you? And of course they want to go Yeah, but Margie Marjorie Taylor Green won by twenty nine okay, during a presidential election in which Donald Trump won. She won big. Yeah, this is. A special election runoff. And she's totally trashed the name, correct, you know, of the party. And yet you still had a candidate that no one knew win by fourteen percent. You don't say fins off, right, finns off, as you barely won, exactly Just stay rest the way they write it, man, that is exactly right, all right. NBC News all prices plunge fifteen percent stock surge as Trump announces an Iran war ceasefire. That seems pretty fair. Yeah, surprising, yep. CBS News Markets embraced Trump's announcement of Iran ceasefire despite new attacks and Gulf States. Okay, and of course that had nothing to do with the ceasefire, but we put it in there anyway, yep. So that is your lame media headlines. I do have and I know you don't have it filled in there, but I do have a clip for your TikTok yes segment. That is my next segment, small business, shout out TikTok Okay. So I don't do small business, Okay, my algorithm is not. These are the things that I love that I send you every now and then you never reply. But Emma, this is more for you. There are times when I put stuff on our show for different people. I have to describe this to you. It's kind of hard to say. But the guy on the right is the driver. That's my brother. But it's not my brother, but it is my brother to a t. This dude knows every word to every song and his son is sitting next to him, and his son gets irritated with him at every song. It's like a little stick that they have. They have such a following, it is huge. How many people watch this guy. It's this big Daddy Rich So big Daddy is on the right, and this dude is a pretty damn good singer. But just how he gets into this music and so I laugh, I was amazing. Look at it is small. They're making money off of it. Okay, Well, if you sort a small business like your cinnamon rolls, say, people who are making a living off of tocks and stuff. Well, I was going to do the forty year old, the forty year guy. Then you had a guy that dude cinnamon Rolls a couple of weeks ago. Dont all right, So listen to this guy. He's very funny. I love play a little music, big dog. Listen. I'll let you think at this time. Whatever you want, you put it on there. You listen to any heavy metal, not a lot, not a lot. This is my brother, how he talks and everything. I like to see you blossom out trying different things. Come on. This is Brad and Grayson. This is into hunting. Yeah three, Why. Definitely is that what Grayson looks like? Yes, this is exactly what's it like hunting with them? All right? Anyway, I will watch I was every one of those that he puts out, and the sun always has the same stare off reaction. And now his cousin sometimes sits in the back and his cousin eggs on the uncle. He partakes in the music. So that's like me sitting in the background. But that is man. There was one time I came out of the woods and my brother and Grayson had quit hunting. But there was a truck there and it was so dark. I was like, and it was and it was kind of filthy. My brother's truck is usually clean. I was like, who is in the world is parked down there? Well, it's them. The music is so loud. I could hear it on the ridge as I was coming down and it was banging out loud. So when I got in the truck, Grayson says, hey, man, you got any music you want to add to this? Don't give me any of your gay shit. Oh god, They like, I can think of a lot of things. During one hundred and seventy two thousand followers. Crazy, I can think of a lot of things hunting and heavy metal was not my particular choice to hunt. You, but anyway, that's my TikTok. And thanks for letting me participate in that segment. Oh yeah, yeah, No, I'm always curious to see what comes across people's stuff, Like you know that's you never stop and go? Why why would that come across my algorithms? Okay, so Grayson must be listening live. Grayson has posted and said, yes, that was my mom with the pizza box. That was with the engagement ring, and then he said we would have had that medal turned up at least twice as loud and that's no joke. Gosh, that is great, right, moving on to sports. Yeah, it's time for sports. All right. Sports National Championship, Michigan Michigan, Michigan Wolverine. Yeah, pulled it off on Monday night. Uh are you happy about that? Emma? Yeah? I don't like Dan Harley, really love Dan Harley. I love Dan Yukon, but I don't like him. M hmm. I guess that's for like when you were me and Trent's age growing up, you looked at coaches and you would have had Gene Katie and uh gosh, who are some of those What was the guy that was at. I was trying to look at our fantasy, at our picks, so I could go over who how we did in the picks. Now I've gotta have to go look at a photo too. I'm trying to think we had older coaches, right, And now Trent and I are at the age where we can remember when Dan Hurley was a basketball player, and so I know where he comes from and what he's gone through to get to where he's at Trivia. So I'm a Seaton Hall. The thing about it that most people don't know is Dan Hurley was suicidal while going while playing basketball at Seaton Hall because he was a he was a big recruit and he chose Seaton Hall because it was local where he went to high school. But he was living in the shadows of his older brother and it was difficult on him. And so to see that come full circle where he's the guy, Yeah, it's great to me because I know what he went through. I mean, he was God, he struggled. Man. Man, I was praying that he would win the National championship and then go to North Carolina the next day. Really, God, I wanted that so badly him to be the coach. And man, what a horrible hire by Carolina. I don't get it. I mean I do get it. I know what they're trying to do. What you got to tell me, because I have no idea. Well, they have a plan. You know. They've hired like a front office for Major league sports, and they're running everything like major league sports. That's why they have a major league football coach and a major league basketball coach. Yeah, I just I don't get it. I mean, you've got to be able. To Coach K was on win the coach K's on McAfee now regularly, like Saban yeah, And it's funny to hear his because McAfee gives him so much shit and you wouldn't think Coach K would put up with it, you know, but just like he does save it, right, I mean, he gives him a hard time. And so he said breaking news, I forget the guy's name that they Malone has been hired at North Carolina and then, uh, you know, Coach K is like, is that true? And he's like yeah, and he goes, oh, another champion coming in on your territory, gonna start beating those Blue Devils, blah blah blah whatever. And Coach Case said, yeah, had that work out for the football program? Yeah? And then he goes not to say that Belichick's not a great coach. Ye, yeah, But I mean that is their philosophy is to build, because that is what's happened to Like, I didn't think about it, Trent until somebody I'm trying to think of who was the announcer that said, what did you expect Michigan's average age was twenty four they I didn't know that that their best player was twenty five years old. Wow. Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's an experienced team you've put together. I just don't get it. I don't see how it's going to work. But I've been wrong in the past. Yeah, I don't know the kind of the tournament. It had a good little run, but it seemed like the final four was somewhat of a dud. In the final was a dud for me. Yeah, I guess it's even the games weren't close. Yes, correct. I was really disappointed in Arizona because Arizona looked to me the part. Yeah, and they just completely did not show up. And I really don't like the Canok kid from Michigan. I think the way he plays the game is cheap. He gets away with a lot of stuff that he does. He's a flopper and a grab an arm and then throw his hands up in the air. We had Jeff Rupert win, and then Braden French was second. Both of them had picked Michigan, and then Warren was third. Brian the Frenches really came through. Brian and Catherine were next, and then What's really cool in our group, our little group that we do every year. Audrey knocked off Perry. Perry had won three times in a row to Audrey one, and Perry claims. So Audrey said she made her picks based on baby kicks, so that was the only way she made her and Perry said, that's not fair. You had two brains. That's hilarious. And then me, mall beat me this year and that's what really kills me, and so did you? So did Kevin? Wow? Good lord, even Juju beat me. Grief, at least I beat Marty. Well anyway, like literally, as the National Championship was finished, the portal opened and it just it becomes a business again. It's people jumping in the portal. You're gonna have people leave Michigan. That's a fact. Yeah. So in my notes, I was going to tell you about that, and you mentioned the portal. Uh oh, shoot, what did I do with it? Huh? Do you have the total number that has entered on it so far? No, it was and I don't know the exact numbers, but I swear to god, it was like there are five thousand players and twenty nine hundred have already entered the portal, and I'm. Like, good lord, how many? It was like twenty nine hundred and there are five thousand total. That's awful, like it? Yeah, it's almost so A shout out to a local girl. And you may know her, am i Avery Mills. She played at LU. Remember she played at LCA, Yes, and went to LU. Okay, she transferred it through the portal. She has accepted an offer to play for Tennessee. Wow, she's gonna be a ut player. That's great. Yeah, although, man, I hope I do. I lost their entire team. Oh, I didn't know she transfer and recruits. Look, yeah, I just saw. I know Liberty lost a good. Wait a minute, is she because the other day I saw the report that said everybody had left and the three players had decommitted, and it said that only one has size, And is she there? All gone? This just happened today? Okay? Good? No, look no, they all left. I know. I like Kim Carwell. I hope she does well there. Yeah, but man, it has been rough. I like it because she to me, she doesn't she's not dang Hurley. But I'm saying she has her beliefs and she's gonna coach it her way. I tell you, when Tony Bennett first started at UVA, I was worried about him because he couldn't keep a player, correct. I remember all the players that left. Yeah, they just kept going and then star somewhere else. Yeah, but I guess you got your way about you. You gotta gotta do it your way. Well, I hope. Uh, that's good. That's pretty cool. It is really good. Kudos for that. Uh, we talked a little bit about you and c got their mand that they wanted. Yeah, I'm curiously how he does. Yeah, I mean, you got to the thing of it is is you got to recruit, and you know, I get a I get a lot of grief from people that Duke just has the best players. I mean that's part of coaching, right. Recruiting is part of it. Harder to do when everybody can pay him. Now, that's right. And so Duke's got some studs coming in. I'm curious to see who goes out. Whether it's going to be four or five or two or whatever. I don't know who all's leaving. But they've got three ridiculous players coming in. Yeah. They already did have one transfer that was a kid that didn't play a lot, Devin Hares. So, anyway, I saw where UVA hired their women's coach. Who did they pick? A guy from University of Richmond? Oh? Okay, interesting. Yeah, it's kind of weird to make the Sweet sixteen first time in like fifteen years, and then and then their. Best player too. She just transferred. Okay, bet you have it. Listen. That happens to the best coaches. My hope was that they were firing her because they were making room for Don Staley, Right, I still wanted her to come back home. Yeah. I don't think she's getting paid. I'm sure, But you know, it's one of those things where I had heard there was locker room turmoil, and I'm like, all right, hold on, you made it to the Sweet sixteen, that that program has been in disarray since deb Bryan left. You finally get one that takes you there. I'm not sure what locker room turmoil, but you're gonna tell me. Dan Hurley doesn't run a tough locker room. I mean, I'm sure that locker room is turmoil. Yeah, I mean, that stuff happens. You gotta I mean, I don't know, but I'm sure the story will come out hopefully. All right. Uh, you know what, I don't watch hockey. I don't until that's the sport I wish I did, but I just don't. Even when I try to. I will follow a few games here there. Yeah, but once it gets close to playoffs and the playoffs is different, and so I was curious. I was like, I wonder where the Predators are at right. Saving bought in and I did watch them like six or seven weeks in a row, after maybe four or five weeks in a row after Saban became part owner, and they did they started climbing, and I'm like, man, and they were way out of the playoffs. Well they are now in the last wild card spot. Now they have a very tough road and it'll take a miracle for them to like they have nothing but the top teams to. Play well the NHL. That is one of those sports that you can be an eight seed and make. It absolutely happens a little time, get a hot goalie. Yeah. So I'm kind of hoping they do because I love the Predators. Man, They're fun to watch so and that'll be crazy if they can make it that. Maybe you announce what our Mount Rushmore is today coming up. Yes, our Mount Rushmore is I call it bucket list, but I guess would be top sporting events that you would want to see live. So I can't wait to get to that, all right, Moving on to NASCAR. NASCAR is back Bristol Baby this weekend. Oh okay, so it should be interesting. I forgot to do the Oh well, we didn't have an update to there was no race last week. Correct, so we'll have our pick a little later on when Kevin Carolina Kevin joins us and Howard number two. But what's cool about Bristol is again I'm more curious this year because the horsepower, what's going to be different? Like I do think Martinsville and I didn't watching Downdale Junior download. They said Martinsville is probably one of the hardest, if not the hardest, to drive. Would you ever call Martinsville? Apparently it has something to do with the tire compound and the surface. You just cannot It's like the turns constantly are changing. It's never just a rhythm at Martinsville. So Bristol is just crazy. Ye, it's on steroids with speed and the banking, so I hope it's got multiple levels remember we went to a time where it was just everybody road the top. Thank god it's not the dirt though, Oh god, thank god they got rid of that. Yeah, so I'm curious to see how the race is going to be this weekend. I'm hoping that the Chevrolets and the forwards have gotten back up closer to the Toyotas, because. Did my feeling say he's going this weekend to Bristol or that he became hooked after. Yeah, I think Travis did say that he was going. I think we have to get an update on that, Travis, hopefully. But yeah, Bristol, if you if you are new to NASCAR, because I know some people listen to the show and they go, oh, you talk too much Nascar, Just go. Go to That's the number one complaint I get. Well, go to tell them to shove it or that. If you don't like it, move fast forward, Catherine. Yes, but seriously, go to a race. I mean, choose one. I mean Delaware, I don't care where you go. You can go to Dover, you can go to Bristol Martin's, but you've got tons around here to try. Go to Talladega and go to the infield I promise you you'll love racing after that. Yep, that was a good trip. That was a Buckelet's trip. We did imagine Catherine and Brian down Talladega Boulevard. Yeah, that's a trip you'll never forget. I had a great time. That's coming up a. Couple of weeks, Right, Talladega, Talladay, that's a crazy place. You know what's neat about NASCAR is it's where the tracks are built. Like you think it's in the middle of a city, right outside of a city, but they're not. No there in the middle. When we went to Talladeca, dude, there is nothing around. Oh no, right, you might as well have been going to the flea market. And then you look up and there's a two and a half mile track. Right, that's huge. It's massive place. So uh Anyway, Bristol this weekend and it's on Sunday. I do miss the old Saturday night Bristol races. That was the one in the wasn't that the summer one? I think that is still Saturday Night, But we'll see how they raced. Turned weren't they the first one to race on her lights? Wasn't that? Charlotte would have been the first. Are you sure? Yeah? I know so, okay, I watched the documentary. Well last week you also knew so that Caitlyn Clark on graduation. Cannot put me in the chat. No, no, no, I said that she played her full four years. I said that not what we were saying. Well, that's what I've had a year of eligibility that she still could have played. Well, they all had that ten years of all we were. Saying, whatever, we're moving on. I don't want to be saying you were right, You were right trying That's all I was looking for. But also we were right too, so we called you. That's eh, that would be a good time to hit that button. Oh wait, let me cook. What a stupid question? That is? What a stupid question? But I watched you a lot. You ask a lot of stupid questions. All right, okay, a I says. The first NASCAR Cup Series race held at night was the Bristol Motor Speedway nineteen seventy eight. That was not run. Look at it, only camp I know for our fans. I literally watched a documentary on Charlotte Motor Speedway racing at night. Hey, I does not lie man, Okay, read it, we watch the show later, but is it a so once again, look the words are supposed to be You're right. If I go look and it's a modified race or a just told. You kell Yarborough. Want a NASCAR Cup series held at night? I don't buy it. Okay, yeah, it's not always right? All right, Moving on Bristol, thank you, it's time for news. All right. Iran, Yes, seems to be on everybody's mind. The two weeks cease fire. So we've got a two weeks First of all, where do you land on Iran? Period? So this is one of those things. Yesterday I texted the three people that I text everything to, which is you, Brad and Warren, and I legitimately legitimately had no idea what's going to happen. I didn't even have a of what's gonna what could be next. I mean, he's texting, Trump is texting he's going to wipe out a civilization, yes, and I'm thinking we're talking nukes right right, So I mean, I don't know. He doesn't take anything off the table. I'm not saying that he should or shouldn't. I was like, oh my god, and these wackos literally want want to die, right, So they're going to say I have the right to create nukes. Because I have the right to do it, I'm just going to do it. I'm not going to give in. So I don't know. I was so thankful that they gave in to have a two week hiatus. First of all, I. Don't it's tough to land on because there are times where I wished he would not use certain language. But at the same time, do I honestly think Donald Trump would wipe out Iran? The answer is no. I think he would strategically cripple that nation. Absolutely, in my mind, and I'm not justifying what he said. He said what he said, but in my mind, I think when he says a whole civilization, he's saying the terrorists that have ran that area, not just Iran, They've ran that whole area for. As long as we've been a lot. And Caroline Levitt, I'm not sure there'll ever be anybody as good as she is, because somebody asked her that question today and her response, Trent was so good that it's like, man, yes, and she said, yes, he uses tough rhetoric language sometimes, but make no mistake about it, you have to to get people who are this bad to a table to discuss things. And so he'll do whatever it takes to get people to sit down and talk. Anybody who knows Donald Trump, he's a deal maker. He does not want war, right like, I'm so sick of these people. Oh for a guy who doesn't want war, he sure is starting a lot of fights. Yeah. No, Donald Trump is finishing things that we got ourselves into. That we've been How many times have we heard, in fact, that's going to be on Hagada today? How many times have we heard these presidents over and over again say they're going to do something. Correct, don't And by the way, I said, if anything, you should pay attention the straits of hermeuse. So he said, obviously that is what controls the world's cost for fuel. Donald Trump has highlighted that to you. Don't you want that out of the control of terrorists. You know what's really interesting about the whole debate now about this. Kuwait and Iraq were oil. Do you remember this? Yes, Kuwait and Iraq were about oil. We had to have their oil, so that's why we attacked. Sure, Trump's first term he made us oil independent. Correct, Now it's not about oil. In fact, he even says to Europe, you're the one that needs the oil, you come take care of the straits of horror moves correct, right, but it's not. You know what if he hadn't done that in his first term and made us energy independent, which Biden took us backwards. But if he hadn't done that, all this would be about, Oh, he's just doing this for the oil, you know what I mean? Now, he's doing it to make us freer, correct, the world freer. Absolutely, it can only benefit everybody. Yeah, and these are crazy people. But again, Caroline laid things out so beautifully that things I didn't think about, and she's like, you don't understand. And I'm just using this as an example. If you have let's say a company of ten thousand people, right, and the CEO, the CFO, all the top management, everybody had been wiped out in one day, I'm all controlled in chaotic? Is that company? Obviously it's crazy, right, And I don't think about stuff like that. You're trying to get people to a table and you don't even know who the people are yet, right, They're still trying to figure out who's gonna I'm sure they're at each other's throat, and so it's been very difficult. And so these stupid people that, well has he worked out this, who's going to control that? We don't know. Here's what we do know. F around and find out exactly that's what we know, and that's what they know. And I don't care if the thirteen thousand things that we've hit or whatever it is has killed some people. They killed forty thousand of their own. That's the part that she said to a reporter stopped lecturing me on morals. Yeah, you're literally defending a country that kills its own people that just killed a wrestler. Let's not forget and how and the women. Oh, I watched this show last night. A woman reporter in Britain is talking to a woman that's in Iran and she's like, it's like that delay where she's asking her a question. And I'm sitting there thinking, you couldn't walk outside and what you're wearing now correct? You know you might be killed for being on the air. Well, it's got me thinking. And I found this clip and I just I was curious to see what your thoughts are because I just I remember when Vince Ellison was here, one of our podcasters here that does a show, Vince Everette Ellison. When he was here, he talked about how the cell phone is you know, is what you distorts the young minds of people, right, I mean they don't know until they get a hold of a cell phone or somebody telling them about transgender and stuff. Right, they learn it from somebody say that. I'm watching these people get interviewed and I think somebody has told them this, and this shit scare the hell out of everybody. We have a generation of idiots that believe stuff like this. Now, this reporter and I'm going to play this cut in just a second. This reporter asked a simple question, Trent, are you more scared of MAGA or a Islamic? Oh? Good god? What is the word radical Islamic? When you hear her answer, it should scare the hell because this is just one clip. She's got a thousand of these. But why can you hear her? Excuse go ahead, cut one. What is the bigger threat to America today? Radical Islam or Trump supporters in Maga? Trump supporters? Yeah? Yeah, why so? Yeah speaks for itself. I'll speak for me a little bit. No, I'm not going there onto the next Who would you have more in common with a radical Islamist or a Trump supporter? You think. Probably Islamist? Same even though they like expect you to cover up your hair and not show your arms or anything. Yes, yes, okay, all right? What is about Trump supporters that you don't think you'd get along with them? So? Well, I'm gay, but you would do? You would get along with the radical Islamist? Yes, and you're gay? Yes? Idiots? How could you say that? Because they're dumb like? But but I'm saying someone has told them. Yeah, all right, so what I told you? They do? They have created this enemy in their mind. Yes, yeah, but here's here. Let me give you just two simple facts. If you're gay and you are a Muslim, like in countries, you will be hanged that you will die for that. Am I right or wrong? I don't that's a yeah. Oh yeah. They still have hangings in Iran if you are gay, well in other places. So Donald Trump has Secretary Bessett. There you go. He ain't killing him, right, I mean, it's just it's I don't know where the phobia comes from. I'm telling you, they just have made up in their mind, this enemy and it's white men. They just hate us that much. Trent. It has not been that long ago that the towers in New York came down, and yet you have that right there walking on this Who would have said that in two thousand and two. By the way, she's free to do that, correct, right, and this racist, radical country, he's free to do that. Just crazy to me. So the thing about Iran that I thought was just interesting as hell about the coverage was the screaming that was going on that he was murdering people, that he was going to wipe out a whole generation of people, the civilization is going to be gone, which he did text. So they're all, this man is crazy, that he's bombing and then he doesn't do it, and he's given into Iran, yes, and he's weak and he's done. So it's like they they can't win either way. They just have to complain in either direction. Yeah, we're all the protests for Gaza, huh. I don't know. I haven't seen any of those. All the things that they've protested over the years of him. Yeah, I mean, it's just it's crazy to me. They kind of lose steam and they move on to the next one. That's right, Uh, don't forget vote no. Yeah, is approaching April twenty first, is the deadline. Go vote go vote no. And you got to I was telling somebody again today, I if the amount of commercials that the Democrats have ran, but same thing on the Republican side, the amount of grassroots work that is going on with how representatives, all of them, it's all over. They are on the boots on the ground. They are going door to door, they're knock and they're doing everything they can. To keep their seats. Yes, why not do that when it's abortion up for grabs or whatever, its lower taxes? Yeah, Like, why not do that? What's so hard about beating the you know, coming to see your people you represent. Yeah, I don't know. I just wish they worked as hard for other issues as they do to try to keep their jobs, like you said, but hopefully we vote no and we because our governor. Holy cow, how do you go from a landslide victory to be you know, people and they're hot. So I saw a headline today that said Democrats are asking her to get away from the Joe Biden hide in the basement mentality to actually come out in public. That's how she won. Yeah, that's how she's governing too. Have you seen her anywhere? Just one reporter asking her a tough question, But that's the only time I've ever seen it. Yes, and she was on her way into the limo. Well, I will say this. I saw an interview with an astronaut recently, and I will say, under Trump, we now have a nation that makes dreams of reality. It's so happy to see her NASA program doing stuff again. I mean, how long was it since we've been around the moon done anything? It's crazy. It's just neat to see now that we were back doing those things. We should be doing those things. This is a real quick one, real news from a real source. This one shocked me, blew me away. These are facts, by the way, These are not made up stuff. Florida is considering dropping their property tackle. I saw that it passed their House eighty to thirty, so not even close. The public still has to vote it as a constitutional amendment, which who would vote against. Please keep taxing me. What's interesting about it is it doesn't so they have separate taxes for schools, so it doesn't affect that. It's actually a play to get more residents in Florida, because you're still taxed if you own property in Florida. Only if you're a permanent residence do you not get taxed. So it actually incentivizes people to live in Florida, which I think is a great idea. Now, obviously you're going to lose tax revenue. But this is where it becomes very interesting. Florida has no income tax as we speak, and they're talking about getting rid of their property tax. The state of Florida has a population of twenty three roughly twenty three million people, and they have an annual budget of one hundred and sixteen billion dollars. The City of New York they have roughly eight point five million people, but their budget is one hundred and twelve So how does the state of Florida govern at the same amount of money. Was the third of the population ohely. It's crazy. Yeah, wow, And that just should that should be front page news of This is how you don't do things, This is how you do things. Well, it's funny you mentioned that because at the end of the show today, for our end of show, it's a lesson on how taxes work. Oh great, I love these little things. Yes, because we had a clip blow up when people didn't even know that money is real. So we'll get an education of that. So moving on to air po W of the Week or Post of the Week by an idiot, The headline read we would want a president that doesn't rape little girls. Man, I'm telling you that little argument that they make over and over again is unbelievable. That there's no facts to it. What's all the signs that they do with the no Trump or the no King's rally, It's just you're just making it up. I don't Yes, are you? Are you talking about the guy that actually turned Epstein in? You know what I mean? If that guy had that experience too, would he not? Why would he have turned Epstein in? And Maxwell? Yeah? Are you? Are you? Outside of all the Bill Clinton's home. I don't get that at all. The one that I had and I had it typed out for you said, now I got to go find it again. Sorry, but it was Colonel Mattis. You remember Mad Dog? Oh yeah, Mad Dog Madis. Okay, here it is. Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime. This is from Colonel Mattis, who wrote an op ed piece in the Washington Post. Donald Trump is the first president of my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people, does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us. And what cracks me up about all that is, then why don't you just agree with him? That's the easiest thing to not be divided? You want you just want him to say what you want correct to hear. If you don't want to be divided, then just agree by the guy that got fired. I try. There you go, got his feelings hurt. Yeah, that's my idiot post of the week. Well, I just don't get me startled them idiots, all right. This week's killed by an immigrant. Mesil Lopez Gomez allegedly killed his three year old daughter, Trent in Fairfax, Virginia. God and Spandburger's government refuses to turn him over to Ice. So if he so, he's going to get a hearing, just like you and I would, And there's possibility he's gonna get parole. So here's the thing that people don't understand. If he gets paroled, he can escape to another country, right and live a wonderful life and never have to or if he gets detained by ICE, they can extradite him to a country in which he came from and be imprisoned. So which would you rather prefer, because he's not going to hang around if he gets bailed, or he'll murder someone murder someone else exactly. So, I mean, what's in it for our government? Ridiculous? But the only thing that I look at that and I go, you know what, it couldn't happen to a better fricking place than Fairfax. You want these stupid Ice out of your neighborhoods. I mean, how many people have to die before you start protesting? We want ice? Right? They won't. It's crazy you're okay with somebody killing a three year old. Let them keep I'm glad you do this segment because just you just got to keep marginalizing them. You've got to keep showing them how crazy they are. You got to keep the I mean, you're not going to get the pink hats to come over to our So. I literally saw a Facebook post today by an idiot here in town that said, I wish we could go back to the days of where it used to be with ICE. What the hell does it mean? What does that even mean. What when they didn't do anything right? Those are the days you want? Yeah, ridiculous. And I feel bad for the Ice officers because they didn't ask for this, right. They just they want to do their job that they've always done. All right, moving on. We're gonna win, win, win, and we're gonna make America great again. All right, cut to go. Your messaging on the war has moved from the wars to an end to war. Going to be bounding around and we've heard a range of those short of messages. So are you so? Which is it? Are you winding this down? Are you? I don't know. I can't. It depends what they do. This is a critical period. They have a period of well till tomorrow. At eight o'clock I gave them an extension. They asked for an extension of seven days, right, I said, Steve, give them ten days. Ten days is up actually today, So I gave them a level. I guess in directly, I thought it was inappropriate. The day after Eastern I want to be a nice person. They have till tomorrow. Now we'll see what happens. I can tell you they're negotiating. We think in good faith we're going to find out. We're getting the help of some incredible countries that want this to. Be ended because it affects them. Also, a lot of people are affected by this, but we're giving them. We're giving them till tomorrow. Eight o'clock Eastern time, and after that they canna have no bridges. So when I watch that, there's a guy that's in control. Right. Did you imagine Joe Biden doing that press conference? Now? I was just thinking that while he was talking about that. And by the way, he says he goes in front of him, and he'll go in front of him again today, yep, and he'll go in front of him again to the next day. He doesn't hide from anything, all right. Yeah, Hold on, Mount Rushmore. This is one of my favorite segments, by the way, Mount Rushmore of sporting events to attend. That you would like to go, kind of like your bucket list. Correct, Yeah, So why don't you start with one of our loyal listeners. Oh yeah, Pool. Fresh off of suspension. All right, So Chris is our loyal listener. His number one is the Super Bowl. He'd like to go attend that, he'd like to go see an n c A A final four, the College World Series in baseball Oklahoma in Oklahoma. Number four is the World Series World Series game at Fenway, and then he wants to go attend the Little League World Series. Obviously a baseball fan. Yes, I would definitely say Chris is a baseball fan. All right, So mine, yeah, is college World Series. I want to go to Omahall. I said, Oklahoma meant Omahall, Oh. Myham, Oklahoma is the and that's the softball one might be I think Oklahoma's host of ball. Yeah, I would love to go to Omahall to watch the College World Series. That that's phenomenal. Uh, just a whole It just looks so cool man. Yeah, and it's it's real bas you and I have talked about it before. It's real baseball. They're gonna make errors, they're gonna and the team's gonna get hot, and you're gonna it's just you're going to see a player that has no chance of playing the majors. Yeah. That looks the best out of everybody there. And it's just they got the great rituals that they do. Yes, and even the same team can have a different ritual the next year. It's just like something dumb happened and they won a game. So now you have to put on this dumb ass coat every time you get a home run, you know what I mean? Just stuff like that. I love it. Yeah. Second would be the World Cup. Yeah, and it's coming to America. I didn't really expect you to say that one. Yeah, I'd like to. Now, I don't know how well I would enjoy it because the horns. Yeah, I can't do that stuff, man, that would drive me not So I. Think if I did the World Cup, I would definitely choose one of the Latin American teams. Like, I want to see all of the party in. Oh you want to go to a World Cup somewhere else? No, no, I want to say, oh because the fans versus Yeah. No, I want to see like Venezuela against Mexico or Bolivia, the you know, the South American countries. They just seem like they have more fun in the stands than anybody else. Yeah, they're all like now if you're there for England or whatever, they have their chance too that they do. So yeah, I can see where that would be a fun thing to go see. Monico, that's all my list too. We should go together. Oh, I would love to see. Monico just wants just like the racing is terrible. Yeah, but who cares like it? Right? You're in Monico. Yeah, he's got to be the coolest thing ever. Yeah, maybe we can get on Notorious's yacht. There's the guy, the UFC fighter. Oh McGregor mcgregorr, McGregor. The World Series. You want to go to World City game? They're always so. Cold, No, dude, don't forget. I went to the game clinching for the Nats when they went to the World Series. I went to the Championship series, National League Championship. Yes, game was not a home run that won it or put them in the lead. No, they that was Jason Worth. That was a different game where they won a series. But I went to the game clinching against the Cardinals where they wanted to go to the World Series and they ended up winning the World Series. Which brings us to next week, because I know that's going to be on your list. Next week's is the five top five games we've attended. Okay, that'll be the next weeks, amount Rusher, that's going to be great, your favorite five things that you've seen. But I would just to me to be honest, with you. I don't care which team it was. I just think it'd be neat to go to a World Series game. Yeah, because I'm telling you the Championship Series game was phenomenal. Yea, that will be etched in my memory till I died. How great do you think it would have been to be in Toronto last year when they were playing the Dodgers? Remember, even though they lost, But how the just the atmosphere, how great that was? Yeah, Like, it was just so cool to be a part of it, to see every seat. You and I've been the nuts when you could throw a rock and not hit somebody, just every seats packed, the standing room only, and you win and there's beer flying and just the place is going crazy. It was great. And you made me think the SkyDome would be one that I want to go on my bucket list to go see. I'd love to go to Toronto and see a game in the SkyDome. That's pretty cool. Yeah all right. And lastly, even though I put two of them, yeah, that's how I do them, the Kentucky Derby and Wimbledon. Yeah. So the Kentucky Derby is one that one of our listeners, Jamie Campbell's aunt lives near the track and we've talked about it a million times of going and we've never gone. Huh. We should definitely do the Kentucky Derby one year. No, I'm in uh, And of course Wimbledon. I just think it's just it's just one of those things where it's different. You don't have to talk me into a good time. I've been to the US Open, so check that off. Small list, well counts auction and Realchi was just calling and I should have answered, Oh God, maybe they're listening. Take us off, all right, So what is your list? Did you want Emma to go? Does Emma have any I do? All right? Wow, she hasn't participated in this very often, but I'm sure she still has a Some. Of mine are very specific. I have Women's World Cup. I don't think I would like to see the mens. Really. Yeah, they're floppy. They lay down a lot. That is the one thing about you, all right. I hate that they're so floppy, and then they act like they're dying, and then they get up two seconds later and they're fine. It's a simple rule change if you if you do that, if you're down for more than five seconds, you have to come out and can't come back in. Right, you change the game completely and you make it better, and then I. Have I would like to go to college football if it's a good teams playing, if it's actually gonna be a good GAS championship game, Yeah, it's going to be bad than that. I think I would rather go to a good home crowd, regular season college football game than a playoff game. I'd rather do like I'd like to I've seen Tennessee. I like to hit Alabama, Alabama, Georgia, Alabama, Georgia, LSU, and Auburn. Yeah, something like that. Agreed. Yeah, I don't. The reason I didn't put Super Bowl is because I just feel like that stuff is so commercialized. Yeah, Like, I'm like you, I want to see the home Like That's why I said, I don't care about World Series. I don't care who it is, just the ability to play at home. Yeah. And there are some events that I think are great, but I would rather watch them on TV. Yeah. You know, I'm not going to spend all that money to go to the Super Bowl when I don't get to see replays hardly, you know what I mean. There's no pregame snacks. Yeah, And then I had this was very specific, like USA VERSUS Canada gold medal game in hockey or like a gold medal. Yeah, gold medal game. Yeah, that was like USA and it sure h. Then I did US Open or any Open because some of us have not gone because we didn't get invite. They talked to the loyal listener. And then I have swimming in the Olympics, specifically like Katie la ducky. Oh, already fun, very soon. Want you to drive up to u v A. Apparently they've got a pretty. Kick as. We should have done that. Do you watch their lacrosse. Trent if they're in the lacrosse, if they're in the championship game, I'll watch, but I don't watch them. I don't watch Seas. Used to be good at lacrosse till they set them up. So our friends. I asked them that question because they always give me good answers for Mount rushmore so they've got the same sort of ones. There's the US Open, there's Kentucky Derby. I don't think anybody's mentioned the Masters. Oh what do you mean anyway? And then there's your opinion. F one in Vegas would be fun I don't. I would almost choose F one in Vegas or Miami over Monico the Vegas because the racing would be badass. Yeah, especially Vegas. Yeah Miami. Maybe Miami sort of has the Monaco look thing to it. Yeah, but Miami is really just the stadium, like you're racing around a stadium, whereas Vegas here in the streets. Yeah, I agree, that's yeah. I mean I remember that one time. It was like a water valve cover or manhole cover came up, came up, and then mine. I've got the Kentucky Derby, ye Masters, which, by the way, Perry went to the Masters this week. He was there for a practice round. Nice. So yeah, it was really cool. I can't wait to talk to him about that. Monico. I had one. It's not on anybody else's list, but it has been mine my whole life. I would love to go to the Indy five hundred. Oh, I didn't even think of that. Go to the infield, just like we did at Talladega. Yeah. Well, what I've heard is the levels of partying that Talladega is number two, wow to Indy five hundred. So is that NASCAR and the Kentucky Derby Indy five hundred is not NASCAR. It's the open wheel drivers. Those four open wheels that go around and they're like right up against the track. They go two hundred and thirty miles IndyCar. That's not Nascar, No, I don't know. Different differently, so they go two hundred and thirty miles an hour, and it's unbelievable in D five hundred Indy Car. You'll notice it as you see them. I thought that was F one. Why do you owe everything? Sorry, I thought this was F one. It does look like F one, but it's a slightly different. Oh my gosh, it's American open wheel racing where IndyCar, I mean F one is more international. Those are exactly like. No, they're literally twins. No one is longer than the other one too. So and the US opened tennis. You got to go, but I did not. So. Yeah, the indiething is something that I never even thought about. But you mentioned infield. I mean I've heard that the Kentucky Derby infield is better than all of them. Yeah, that was on my list too. That's crazy. Yeah, so all right, yep, Well that wraps up.

I've only got three clips because I used one in. The We're gonna hope this is your first one. This is the first one. This is the liberals And why do they hate the cunt so much? Right now? If I roll up to your business and this is what it looks like, it's twenty twenty six before we're going through. I'm not buying shit from you. American flags. We're not doing American flags right now you're proud of what? What are we proud of? Why are the flags up? The fuck? Why do they have to cuss it every TikTok? You ever notice that? Yeah? Not only are they rude and unpatriotic, but they're just nasty people. Let me look at that. I don't is there anything about her that instills you know what? Since we got a little bit of time here, I don't like what Emma's doing here? Checking out the comments? That was inappropriate? I scrolled best? Oh really, you want to go back? How's it inappropriate for I have at it? Well, I don't know if I can put that on the air. I read gynecologists, yeah, and then read the singer part. I'm not a gynecologist, but I know a sea word when I see one. I don't know if I can put that on the internet. Well, always said sea word so they can see it. What makes them so angry? What have they instilled amongst themselves? What is in their inner being that makes them hate the country so much just because they're not leading? You need a tattoo of those? Did? I not like you? And I have said it all the time. When Joe Biden won, their lives didn't change. We went to work every day, We did the things we've always done. Nothing in their life has changed. Even if I was soured about Joe Biden being out on the beach and dragging a lawn chair, you know, and that's his vacation and can't walk across the sand. If I went down to the beach and somebody had an American flag out in front of their store, that didn't keep me from going in. But that's the exact thing. She's so Trump deranged. And I almost want to say white male deranged. They're so upset with white males. I'll have my USA with extra ice, that would be good. You think she would get one of those. I just I just don't understand where they come from. No, that's what I'm saying. Like, even even under Joe Biden, when things weren't going well, whether it's higher taxes, we're going to complain about it, but we will never say I hate my country. Yeah, like I don't. I don't get it. Like like under Obama, we didn't hate our country. Yeah, even if I was dissatisfied with Virginia and let's say Tennessee or Florida does the no property tax yeah, okay, I can. The beautiful part of about this country is I can drive to another state and enjoy that state. Yeah, you know what I mean, I could go do something like that. But I'm not leaving the United States. All these people are leaving the USA, which none of them are. Correct, But I mean, yeah, I mean, what are you hating? What are what in your life changed to the point where you you go, I can't live my life because of that man. Yeah. And by the way, this is a part that we never picked up on Trent that I wish people would say. There was a reporter that asked Trump about the people what should the people in Iran be doing? Yeah, they're scared, they're in their homes, or what are we doing to help them? Right? And he went on and to say, you know that that's what we're trying to help with blah blah blah. But how come nobody ever says, this is what happens when you disarm your citizens. True, they can't go out of their house and defend themselves. Yeah, they're just be shot speaking a shot, didn't you say? He said graphically out each woman was just murdered, Yeah, shot between the eyes. Yeah, And so It's like when we had our guest on Eric's Ayer delegate and we were talking about magazines, right, and you remember Joe Biden stupid deer keV Larvest and all that other crap. Right, If an Iranian is coming to attack me and I do have weapons, I want more than ten in my magazine. Yeah, like that is why we want to her ar, That is why we want because you can you keep saying Donald Trump is the one that's going to uh, you know, go after his citizens, and he's ruining America and he's a threat to democracy. I ain't worried about that man coming to my house, right the lunatics like Spanburger are. I do think that his goal this time around is to change the world for the next sixty years if we don't have Iran, even if the even if Iran doesn't change their regime, if they don't have the weapons to be able to do the stuff that they've done. Right, And they were trying to say that the other day that Iran has focused their drones and their missiles like more logically, it's like, no, they don't. They've run out of them. Yeah, there's less being fired because they don't have as many of them. And let's not forget I think Donald Trump knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that Iran was the one that tried to assassinate him, Like the kid didn't climb up on the roof without any direction. So that's I wish before you say that that we actually had thoughts on that. I mean, I really I wish we had like cash Battel. You know, Pam Bondi being fired. She was disappointing me anyway, and so cash Battels feels like that way with me. I keep you waiting for why aren't you guys doing things? Why aren't you doing more? Yeah, it's just handcuffed people, you know, anyway, hopefully, I mean, we still got three years, they've still got three years of doing and then we got JD Well. All right, So the next one here, this is how news covers things. This is the same woman, the same channel. So it is, and it's kind of hard. And now will during the middle of this tell you when it switches to the new story. But this is before we bombed last summer. Okay, remember how before the bombing how controversial it was going to be. Then it was after the bombing, So that's the middle clip, and then it's before this latest round. So the same lady, This timeline of Iran being a few weeks away from a nuclear bomb is in direct contradiction to CNN's reporting. According to US intelligence assessments, Iran is three years away from being able to produce a nuclear weapon if they wanted to. So the facts on Iran getting a nuclear weapon do not bear out the claim at the heart of what has put the world on the verge of World War Uran's uranium may still be intact and in Iranian control four hundred and eight kilograms of it now enough theoretically, according to experts, to make nine nuclear weapons. Only set back the Iranian nuclear program by months. We got to call it like it is. It's a big deal. Sources tell CNN. There is no US intelligence that are on is building dissiles that could soon hit the United States. That's a really big deal. Same lady. First, wants to tell you how US I love how they quote things. We've been talking about this US intelligence. US intelligence has told us you mean John Brennan exactly, You're US intelligence? Say who they are? Right? Who doesn't have a clearance anymore? Well, and even Okay, so you have someone that you're saying has told you this, but you have obviously picked someone that is like John Brennan that tells you before we strike that we're making it up like we did with Iraq, right, that kind of story. Then we strike them and they tell you we were unsuccessful with our strike because they still have nine weapons that they can make. And they have a plethora of US intelligence sources, right, two hundred and fifty something to be exact, those are the ones that said it was Russia disinformation right, the laptop right? Or the fifty one intelligence agencies? Yeah? Yeah? Or agents? What is that? One? A dog gets more factual information for sniffing another dog's, but then a human gets from watching CNN. That's true. But then she says how unsuccessful the bombing was because they can still make nine nuclear weapons with what because you said earlier before the strike they didn't have any capabiity they were three years away from it, but now they can make nine more. Just come on, by the way, wasn't in. CNN that was reporting that we that Iran was not talking to the US? Right? Exactly? Horse horse, it's they also, Oh, I forgot what was gonna say about that. It was the horse Dodo that threw me off there. But it just as it's absurd, the same news stories, and if they're going to do that, why would you listen to them at all on anything. It's the same organization that does the same thing all the time. It's just a new set of lies or something that you've made up. So does any of it ever change? I know, I mean we've been saying this for thirty years, but it's so bad. Like I watched that Abby Girl with the one that Scott Jennings is on. The Black Lady, Yes, okay, yeah, I. Mean it's horrendously bad when she talks. Yeah, but Scott Scott Scott, Yeah, and he's like, what, I'm giving you facts? What I'm still shocked he gets to be on that channel, except it has to be working. Yeah, right, it's the only thing he gives them. They know that. Yeah. Without it, they've got nothing, which you would think that they would say, let's have more of that. Correct, you know, somebody that's at least honest and and telling you the truth. Okay, So this last one, I think I titled it as our President this is our President's idea on Iran. Okay, this is what we know about Iran. Let's listen to our president. The Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran. Whatever stage of development they might be in their nuclear weapons program in the next ten years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them. That's a terrible thing to say, but those people who run around need to understand that because that perhaps will deter them from doing something that would be reckless, foolish and tragic. So like wiping out a whole civilization. Right similar that same woman, what do you think she's saying today about Trump doing anything? No, she's telling you that he's hitler. But she was forcefully telling you without being in power at all, of how forceful and strong. That is my favorite clip. Emmaailed it. Okay, that is the FAKEUS woman that has ever been on. And those that are watching YouTube with what's the channel at at ll H Underscore podcast? Okay, what Emma has on? Do you remember what happened with this? Was what went on here? I do not? Okay, that is her acting like she didn't know that they were going to have balloons drop when she got the nomination. So she's at the Democratic and that's why Bill Clinton's next to her. She got named the and you know when they do the final ceremony, they had this little sound that was going to drop balloons, and she acted like I had no idea balloons were coming down. The balloons have been up all week. Right, Oh, yeah, she has definitely the facus. I wish somebody did a documentary on her campaign, like I would love to know. Don't you remember she had medical issues when she fell on the curb side and they had to catch her and drag her into the into the tahoe. Yeah, I wish. And by the way, let's not forget she was the one that drew the red line that Russia crossed numerous times and that's how they got Crimea in Ukraine. Yeah. So the red line I remember was Obama saying there was a red line in Syria that they shouldn't cross. Yep, and they still she killed her people, She did her red line, and of course they still took Crimea. And it's like the difference is Trump didn't even give you red line. He just says, hey, yeah, we're coming and they if you don't believe us, boom. Like I was definitely shocked that he did not do something big last night. I was pleasantly happy that he gave them another opportunity for fourteen days. And maybe it's fourteen days for them. To figure out who their actual leader is correct to even negotiate. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure there's some infighting on their side of who has the power to say no, So I'm interested. There's a lot of things like, yes, I am growing weary. I want to see prices come down on a lot of things in the United States, gas prices, stuff like that. But I also understand Trump's not dumb, so I swear I think he's planned all. If you'll remember when he first took office, we did the tariffs and he did the tax cuts. So I remember listening. I think it was Art Laugher who said this is what he wanted to do on his first term, and we all talked him out of it. We said, you can't do both at the same time because you're going to cause inflation. It's going to be a massive issue. And he said he has bounded and determined he's going to do it. And I think he might be right this time, maybe he was right all along. And sure enough, he was right all along. Right, he did the tax cuts, and he did the tariffs, and it was working and it still is working. And so I think about what's going on right now, and I think, you know, we have no chance if gas prices are still high, of winning any election, you know what I'm saying. But I think he has a plan, like this is all going to be wrapped up. We're going to have lower gas prices, grocery prices will be better, a booming economy, and all of that stuff I think I'm hoping for before the midterms. And I think that is why he's doing it now. Oh absolutely, And you aren't going to do it in October. No. And on top of that, let's not forget for the first time in the history, we're going to have a convention for midterm elections on that side. Yes, So he has a plan and he's been right so far, so I am going to stick to that. But at the same time, I have no problem being critical of some of the things he's done. So the one of the idiot posts of the week where I talked about General mattis the guy also had another post. It was one of the generals that just got let go, and they're showing how this guy is outraged. Right, that's the picture of him just being outraged. He's a general and it was because heg Seth fired him because they have a difference of opinions about Iran. Correct, So somehow this general has got to be smarter than heg Seth. Okay, So I looked into it a little bit further. The reason he is fired is because he keeps doing the woke stuff. He keeps bringing generals to promotion that do not belong there, and it's always the African American woman that should be and she's not, and he won't listen. So you're going to be fired. Absolutely. So of course that guy is going to say, we have a different of opinion on Iran. You know what I mean? It's it just has some common sense about this. Yeah, I will say this his secretary. Now, what's what's the guy's what's the proper term for the uh the guy that's running the war right now, what's that guy's proper chief of stat No? Uh? The guy that graduated v M I. Secretary of war? Uh? Yeah, no, raising kine. Yes, that guy like what A like. I watch him and I go, yeah, remember Lloyd, Oh you know what I'm saying. I look at him, and I remember that guy being in front of Congress, Lloyd whatever his name was, right, same same job. The guy that disappeared went had surgery that's didn't tell, didn't tell the president. Got the same job. That dude literally stood in front of Congress and they talked about four hundred million being spent to train soldiers in Ukraine or wherever it was. I can't even remember where it was. And come to find out they had won out of all that money that was spent, and he even admitted to it. And I'm sitting here going, I look at that guy who knew nothing, and I look at this guy who knows it all. Well, I agree with you, but we need more than four years of that. I know, because the first four years we had like General Millie and Mattis, we had these people that were backsavage and the guy that just got fired just doing woke. They had been brought up from the Clinton and Obama years and Biden years. You know, they've dominated the last twenty five to thirty years in the number of overall years, and so the military was a social experiment. They were making the cultural experience because we weren't going to war. So let's make let's make it the the transgender I mean, we literally had transgender generals or transgenderal officers. Well, I appreciate that guy one because he graduated from VMI, but it also should tell people how important VMI is, right exactly. Don't ruin that institution. Another reason they wanted to go after it. Yep, hanging around like a loose too. Why am I gingers in the ice tray? Carolina cover? Like that guy again? My man? Yep, hello tinster, my buddy, Not like the one you used to buy back when you were ten years old, My. Buddy, the nutty buddy. No, don't you remember the doll? My buddy. No, I don't know what that is, my buddy. My buddy goes wherever I. Go, look it up him. My buddy, I literally have no idea what you No, I didn't, I hadn't, I had no friends. Would Brad would definitely have had of my buddy. No, my buddy, doll ew. Is frightenings a commercial real quick, because I guarantee it's just like Kevin saying it. Yeah, big wheel. Between buddy, let me tell you why we didn't have. No, we weren't gay. We did have big wheels. Now that was fun. Did you have the break that was on the right side, Dude, you pull it up and. You spun that thing, spun it around, and then you flat spot that damn them damn little tires on the back. You'd even flat spot the ones on the front because you were trying to go so fast it would go. Yeah. Brian just had one of those things that you set on and in the middle it had this little round thing and you had twisted like a steering wheel and spind What were those. Things called machines, this little spinning thing. There were green machines. No, that's a different one. He's talking about the sit and spin, you know, the merry go round thing and that what you're talking about. Kevin had a little handle in the front. Yeah. Yeah, and that's what I was gonna say. The competitor to the big wheel was the green machine. That was like the rich kids in our neighborhood had that. We didn't have one of them. Kevin and I had bicycles, and the you won, you had honeycombs, so you couldn't wait till you get the license plates. Yeah, came in the honeycomb, that's right. And then you. Would take baseball baseball cards and make your spokes. Do you remember when mag wheels came out. We never were the mag wheel type people. No, I know what you're talking about, but no, we weren't either. Yeah. Now we did the same thing, baseball card and the spokes. And then there was also some kids had those little motorcycle sounding things. You'd put it on your handlebar where the handlebars are and you just twisted and it sounded like you actually had a motorcycle, had a battery operated. It just sounded cool. We couldn't afford that. Well, I had friends that had it. No, we had a little two We used to look through and twist it and had these little designs in it. Yep, kaleidoscope kaleidoscopes. Yeah, and you remember the. Binocular one that. The thing that you had to pictures in and you would click. Click, yeah, and it and it would been around And I wonder where those things are, like. Hundred fifty dollars on the internet. Oh wow, it's crazy. We had some interesting toys back then, did. Y'all Trenton, Did y'all live in a neighborhood? Kevin and I were lucky. We grew up in a neighborhood where you could play like on a street. Best thing ever, oh dude, And how we lived without breaking every bone in their body. You would make a ramp out of a log and a piece of plywood that you saw, yeah, and of course it wouldn't. You would always get the plywood that wasn't quite strong enough, and when you'd go up the ramp, it would bend just enough and you maybe got two inches off the ground, but you thought you'd flown fifty feet. Yep, and there's still over there. We all laid on the road and somebody. Jumped there was. There's still neighborhoods, and there's still neighborhoods with kids, but parents don't let the kids play out on the street anymore. Now. We used to play football. Back when we were growing up. It ain't nothing compared what's going on now. Well, they were good times. We used to play Smear of the Queer, not in the street, but we would play it out in the yard. Can't say that now. And then we would play football before the bus came, played football after it was in the street, and that's where I broke my arm, right before the bus got there. And remember every time a car came, everybody got off the street to let the car through. As soon as the car went by, you started playing again. Oh yeah, definitely, we played Hill. King of the Hill. Yeah, when's the last time you've driven in a nameihborhood where the kids had all walked? They split up on both sides of the street until you went through, and then they started playing again. When's the last time you've seen that? When is the last time you drove through the neighborhoodhere kids were playing. Yeah, in a cool neighborhood. The only thing I'll see is kids on a golf cart, which that makes me happy sometimes that at least they're hanging together. But they're in a golf cart driving through. It's like the comedian Kevin says, uh, his nephew, he said, he comes up to him in a hoverboard with a laptop or with an iPad, and he looks at me and goes, I'm bored. You look like the most on bored person ever. Like they don't have imaginations. We we had to imagine things. You had to do something, and how did we all know where to meet? I'm over Kevin on over. My neighbors would ring a bell when it was starting for dinner. Yeah, he had to be home before the light. Oh god, it made me so bad. I was so embarrassed. Every time that damn light came on. My friends would go, oh, Trit's got to go home, and it wouldn't be ten seconds later. Me Ma would be out there yelling trat Brad and we were like, oh shit, you say it under our breath. She hurt us and they keep getting to play, but not us. Trit. Did I tell you about me and Brian and ma'am and her cousin came down from out of town and we were sitting around they eating lunch. She didn't fix us a sandwich and she said now, Mark said, now, if you was to say that, my mama and y'all acting the way you act and should have smacked their teeth at her mouth. And Mark said, is that why you ain't got new teeth? Now, ma'ama. Brian just told that story last week. It's funny it came back around again. Y'all must be brothers. Man. We went through a whole lot of stuff. I'm telling you. We one time we were sitting on the bank, Brian, you remember throwing rocks at the call coming back somebody's car. Oh god, that's the most my brother got beat. He did that. Yeah, he did it with snowball, and my dad looked out the window just as he hit that thing. And he brought up snowball. We had a heel. It was across the street, neighbors and it went straight down. It was cul de sac, but it was not paved. And when it stowed, that was the perfect hill. And then they the whole I'm like you, we didn't have something. How did the whole neighborhood find out to come? How do we know? How do we not get lost? Right? And then you know we would slight sleigh ride and I just remember, dude, I can remember this like it was yesterday, my fingers and toes being so cold. Yeah, but you didn't want to leave because you were having so much fun. You probably didn't have gloves on. Oh heck no, right, I mean it was. Just we. Used their socks tube socks, right exactly. That's a good point. Yeah, probably had stripes around the ends of the glove you so, yes. I mean we got home, we had to come into basement because that's what the woodstove was. We had to hang her clothes up there. They always going after we undressed, we had to go upstairs and try to get. Warm, get warm. Mama wouldn't Mama wouldn't let you. Mama wouldn't let us come upstairs. Unlet we didn't. Took her clothes and hung them up. Then everyboy the woodstove. Then she had put a big old pot of water on the ass, so I guess evaporate. We wouldn't have dry. Yeah, humidity, humidifier Yeah. Yeah. I wish, I mean, I wish. I wish kids could could experience what we It was the best the childhood that we I mean yeah, I mean I can think of just we built forts. Yeah, but you know, everything you could think of we did. We played in mud. What's the last time you've seen a kid in a tree? Oh, my god, climbing a tree? Yeah, come to my neighborhood. Do you have y'all? I was at Mom's over the weekend and I was sitting out on the front porch, and that's the first thing that comes through my mind. I was sitting there just watching the pine trees and me and Brian and my stepdad playing it in front of moms there at the road, and I was just thinking, like, we used to climb all the way up like tops of trees and beech stories high. Yeah, like way up. We either look around and see like that was crazy man doing stuff like that. Now you own. We wore bare feet, man, Our feet was so hard and crusty. It was like we had on shoes or sandy. Usually bruises on your toes where you've scraped your toenail across the pavement. That sucked. I don't do that. I can't stand that feeling. Yeah, that was awful. But yeah, my dad talks about when they were younger, like he would talk about how they played more outside than we did because I mean what they and they didn't have TV, Yeah exactly. They climb up in trees that were like pine trees that were flexible, yeah, and they would they would rock them to see if they could get them to go all the way down the ground. And you said, if we just let go, it had been launched like sixty feet, but they would try to get her to rock on both sides if they could get her to swing both ways. I never did that. Actually, climbing trees is where I found out when I was like seven years old that I was afraid of heights. That's why I'm afraid of heights today. Climbing trees, I couldn't. I couldn't come down. It was like fearful. I made it up and I realized, oh my god, I couldn't get back down. Now did you ever have like a obviously i'm here. Someone in the neighborhood move and you were devastated because that was like, you know, because Kevin and we had Paul moved right. You're breaking my heart. Yeah, yeah, he moved out of the neighborhood. And was like, ah, now I got you know, we've lost them. Who are we talking to? I moved every two to three years, Like I never had a friend that I got to be friends with. After we moved. We'd write letters for maybe yeah, three months, and then we just wouldn't do it even I mean I can't even find them on Facebook. Yeah, Chris la was. After Paul left though we had Chris Lack yea, Chris stepped up. Yep. We would play whiffle ball, the nastiest wiffle ball games. Oh man, just brutal. Did you come home with whelps on your legs from the holes in the ball where you'd get it? Was Chris Lacks the same neighborhood as Melody. Yes, Melanie was my neighbor so she played too. She was there was no no, there was no shine because she was a girl. They were the meanest, my sister and Melanie. Are you kidding? I don't remember playing with any girls growing up. Oh, yeah we had because yeah, Paul had a sister. What was Paul's sister's name, Linda. Ginger? No, you're right, he. Thinks of Ginger because she was a redhead. I guess from uh that was. There you go? Yeah her name? I think her name was Linda. And yeah they were mean. Hey Kevin, what name a couple of your bucket lists? Are Mount Rushmore a sporting event? Before you die? You would love to go see. The Masters? That was on my list too. Yep, maybe we should do that next year. Oh we need our picks. Racing pics, Yes, racing pics. We're in Bristol this week. We don't have much time left. Yep. I'll start off with mine because you always like to copy mine. I have how we're copying yours if we went first. No, because you always steal mine, say it then go ahead. I got a that was good. I've got Christopher Bell, Brand Kes and Blamey Good. None of mine, Chris Bell, Keselowski and Laney. Okay, no dark horses. Not really, he's trying to get his points better. There's no long shot in that one. Go ahead, okay, I'll give you that one. I'll give you that one, not that I need to get. That one, all right. I got Kyle Busch, Chris Busher that he's on my list too, and Josh Barry. Who's your favorite? Just they they seem to be like, those are all kind of long shots. I have Busher as well, I have Hamlin hm and you would kill me if I said Tyler Reddick. You won't let me do that one A. Tyler Reddick's down a little bit. Tyler Reddick is lower than Keselowski. So I'm even gonna go Tyler Reddick. What's crazy about that is? Uh? Denny Hamlin has said that he needs to pick it up on the short tracks if he wants to be so, apparently he's not good at short tracks. Tyler Reddick. Huh, well, I'll say this fan duel. Their favorites are Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin, and Chris Bell. Then Blaney ty Gibbs. He's fifth. One loser. Yeah, it seems like he's getting better though. Anyway, I guess we gotta let you go. Is Emma's tapping her foot? Yeah? One other thing real quick. Yeah, I was thinking about it, and uh. I think Uh. Marty was talking to Trent one time. Here we go. And he uh he said, Marty said, do you don't fantasize about me? She said, yes, try I do. She said, what do you fantasize about me about? She said, taking the trash out on the lawn and doing the dishes. I do my part. Have you done your part? For next week? You were supposed to get me an answer? Seriously trying to remember Lord you will you help him? I literally don't know what I was supposed to get you an answer on dinner? Oh oh oh, what is it? Thursday night? Yeah? Hold on, let me check my calendar. Sorry, I was supposed to do that, but I had such a good time last night with the last night we went to tap to twenty one. I love their salads, highly recommend Tack. People should go to tow It's a great place. So next Thursday, I think I can. Man, I don't have anything going on, so I've got to fill my table out. Marty, if you're listening, we are going to. This is one way to tell her. So that's the hard part too. By the way, is that's our Thursday night gang. That's probably why. But you know what, screw them, although they do listen to the show because I love y'all. Well, this is for good calls. We're trying to raise money for Life Wise Academy. Yeah, giving public school kids an opportunity to have a Bible class as an electric. Hey, I'm glad you mentioned that because I was talking about this. We had such good feedback from Kevin Foster's event, and we had so many subscribers. I mean, the fifteen is that that's probably the most we've had in a week and forever. Yeah, that I can even maybe the most ever is why don't we bring your person that's doing that. We can have them him or her on the show. He or she on the show talk about it to talk about what they do. Maybe people can donate that way. That's a great idea. That's why I'm here. We'll talk to Kelly and we will get that squared away. So oh wait a minute. Uh, let's see when is spring break? Oh there's spring breaks this week the mine as sure, that's why I was watching Ginger and Vow. Where is the event next week? It's at Cedar Oaks. Oh God, she's in on that. Yeah, sure, all right, send me, send me the invites. All right? What is there in the show? Oh? So this is a lesson and it's just one of those things that man, I know people are bored by this stuff, but I'm not. I love going down the road when people are teaching me a symbolism or what do they call that, where it's the story gives you a lesson anyway, it's about it's about taxes and how taxes work and how you have you know, ten people getting together for beers. Guys to say it says the tax system explaining beer. Yeah, okay, all right, we will see you next week, same time, same place. Make sure you to go to YouTube, hit the search button, hit at the little funny symbol at l l H Underscore podcast. And when you do that, it's for anybody. Well, I mean, I don't want them to think. Abe right. They go at l and when you subscribe it's free. Yeah, subscribe, hit the subscribe button, go to TikTok, like us, share us, do all the things you're supposed to do Instagram And. How long is this a blow? Our videos up? Idea see you three minutes next week. At once a week, ten men go out for beer and the bill for the ten comes to one hundred dollars. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this. The first four men, the poorest, would pay nothing, The fifth would pay one dollar, the sixth would pay three dollars, the seventh would pay seven dollars, the eighth would pay twelve dollars, the ninth would pay eighteen dollars, and the tenth man, the richest, would pay fifty nine dollars. So that's what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every week and seem quite happy with the arrangement until one day the owner caused them. A little problem. Since you are all such good customers, he said, I'm going to reduce the cost of your weekly beer by twenty dollars. Drinks for the ten men would now cost just eighty dollars. The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes, so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men, the paying customers. How could they divide the twenty dollars windfall so that everyone would get his fair share. They realized that twenty dollars divided by six is three dollars thirty three cents. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then not only would the first four men still be drinking for free, but the fifth and sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So the bar owner suggested that it would be fairer to reduce each man's bill by a higher percentage. They decided to follow the principle of the tax system that they had been using, and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that he should now pay, and so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing one hundred percent saving. The sixth man now paid two dollars instead of three dollars, a thirty three percent saving. The seventh man now paid five dollars instead of seven dollars, a twenty eight percent saving. The eighth man now paid nine dollars instead of twelve dollars, a twenty five percent saving. The ninth man now paid fourteen dollars instead of eighteen dollars, a twenty two percent saving, and the tenth man now paid forty nine dollars instead of fifty nine, a sixteen percent saving. Each of the last six was better off than before, with the first four continuing to drink for free. But once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings. I only got one dollar out of the twenty dollars saving. Declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man. But he got ten dollars. Yes, that's right, exclaimed the fifth man. I only saved one dollar two. It's unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me. That's true, shouted the seventh man. Why should he get ten dollars back when I only got two. The wealthy get all the breaks. Wait a minute, yelled the first four men in unison. We didn't get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor. The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next week, the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had their beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them to pay for even half of the bill. And that, boys and girls, journalists and government ministers, is how our tax system works. The people who all already pay the highest taxes will naturally get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just might not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas.
