So we're giving him a break today. He's standing up. Hey, it's the new age desks. You know people would stay ergonomics what it's called. Oh like the walking pads.

Anyway, where was there YouTube subscriptions last week? Did it go up? Any No, we didn't go up for the first time. We've had a stagnant week. That's not what is it? At had to be in his clips at L l H Underscore a podcast. Have you seen I'm adjusting timing and stuff. Excellent, they're getting they're sitting at like you're getting higher views consistently. Yeah, maybe I need to get you some more cards. Give to father David and mother mother, mother Miller, Mother Miller and father David. You know what's crazy? Am I? What you mentioned on the clips and the views? Like I follow you know the other news podcast where I get some of my great clips, and you know those guys can have like ninety thousand subscribers, right yeah, but they have less views than we do in our shorts. It's crazy. I've noticed that too. I get a lot of you in my shorts. The other thing that I was wondering, am I. Who farge are? If I do that for next week? If I go to TikTok and I look us up on TikTok right, and where do I go? I go to at L l H Underscore podcast, correct, and you'll come up with Trent and Brian. So when it does come up right. Now, it's I think our internet is. No, It's okay, it's literally said internet. Our Internet's crawling. I think, well, let's not air our dirty laundry. Thank you for this amazing Internet. I'm glad to see your buildings coming along. So when it says followers that has gone up this week, When it says. Following, who are we following. That's that's who we follow. Yeah, okay, howmedy does that say? Two? Yeah, we should probably get that up. We should be following Panel and TikTok friends. Oh you reminded me I. Follow them, Tyler, he said no, just so you know, all right, moving on backwards and forwards identical. What this is going to be difficult next week. Emma knows how to control trend Logan has not learned that yet. If you don't, he'll just take over. I'm just wondering. I'm looking forward to it next week. Freedom. You're reminding me I need to go tag Panel. Let me do that. M Thanks for reminding me. What go ahead? Atium? Well, I mean it's just just stupid. All I do is turn my head and that's not what you just did. Just get going right updates backwards on renovations. Yeah, that's what we did this past weekend. So just so everybody understands, my patience is wearing thin. Uh. Literally before, in two weeks before I started demoing, I sat out a schedule just like I would have when I was project managing a construction company. And you get commitments from people. Well, now the week has come that one of the commitments has already backed pushed out. So it's just just frustrating. Man. You can't control the world. You can't, but I don't. Customer service means everything to me, and I don't mind paying for customer service, but ma'am, when it's not there, it is so bad, so bad. So do they know the power that you have of the microphone? You think one of these days people are gonna find out. That's what Steve A. Smith said about somebody was down on him. He's like, hey, do you know that I'm on the air every day? It's true, I could ruin you. I'm just I'm not happy right now because of that. But our kitchen looks great, just without cabinets. It's minor detail. Another fricking two weeks of no kitchen's driving me nuts. It'll be over with soon enough. Yeah. Yeah. The more important thing is it is actually doing okay, Yes, with this, she's doing great. Good, she's getting better. Did you miss you? Miss No? I got it. His son's behind us. It's not gonna I don't want to get hit from behind. Yeah you don't. You're an idiot. You're just an idiot, all right, So move on. We got no ish, no things to do this weekend. So okay, what did you do last week? Last weekend? You have a more all day weekend this weekend. You don't have anything going on to. The beach with because we thought we would be in the new kitchen, maybe doing some grilling and cookouting. But yeah, he can't doing that without a kitchen. You got a new oven, we got new everything is that in yet? No? Nothing's in? Okay, I can't do anything into the cabinets getting but yeah, did you just remind Michael? Oh, actually did not mean to do that though everything and ready to go, Yes, thought Logan was trying to get at me. Well, it'll be good enough. Do you need me to come over and help put cabinets in? Well, that's not that's not the issue. The cabinets aren't here, Okay, that is the issue. Are the custom made? Yes? I can't hide that money anyway. On my calendar, my calendar. Last weekend I went to go see my buddy Warren down in Greensboro. His daughter had her last soccer travel tournament. So I watched a game Friday evening, a game Saturday midday, and a game Sunday morning. And well I don't remember getting up early on a Sunday morning and being that hard to get up to go watch a game on a Sunday morning. I know we used to have fun doing travel ball, but that was a little difficult to be up at on the road at seven am to get to an eight am game. Actually, we drove. We went to Reagan's awards ceremony last night. Right on the way there and we went by the Forced Youth fields and I literally looked at Ashley and I went, I don't miss that. Yeah, And she said, no, I know what you're talking about. I said, don't get me wrong. I loved the games. You're right, I don't miss the heat, staying out there for freaking twelve hours, and yeah, ugh, it was a struggle. But whenever I go past Jump Part, and if any of my kids adult kids now are in the car with me, I seen glory days. It used to go all those games, I mean hours definitely Jump Part. Yeah, you reminded me last night. We Ashley and I were there for Reagan's awards thing and we're sitting halfway up the bleachers and this older couple comes walking up the steps and the guy's probably to eighty and he looks at me and says. So this is the grandparents section. How do you respond to that? Not other than a fault. Process literally was if I kick his leg, he may go down quickly. That was my thought process. Ashley's was, no, we had our child late. And I'm like, why are you trying to do it? I mean, justify his idiocy? I mean you got a white beard right. Well, I told her I'm shaving and dyeing my hair. That'll be on the show next week. Hey, what the hell, Logan just filter. God, it's awful though, being called a grandparent. You're not work on that over the week. I'll try make my back feel better. Sorry, what you do? I'm telling you, I honestly thought if nobody would see me, he's going down. Can't beat up an old man. You can't call me an old man. Well, I mean, what if you're just a young grandfather. I'm literally sitting with a knee in a chair because my back. What did you do to your back? I got back spasms. I just have them. In the last ten years have just been bad and it's really bad. Yeah, yeah, I'm on. I told her, you are going to be a granddad. I told Warren's weekend. I told Warren's mom this weekend that I'm getting taller because it takes a lot longer to get pick up something off the floor. It's just impossible. So and then this weekend is a Finnish graduation graduating from JF So we've got a big graduation weekend going on. Okay, yeah, it'll be fun. I can't wait to hear about it. Yeah, congratulations finn Yeah, congratulations family. I know how difficult it is to get a kid to graduate head ne Rono College. Well it's good. I mean, listen, it wasn't that long ago that we had a group of kids that didn't get to graduate, you know, go through the process. Oh yeah, because of stupid COVID. So did you take that stuff to granted for granted? Yep? All right, Emma, you got anything? All right? Moving on? Okay, ahead, you got Ratma. Today I did nothing. I dog sat all weekend. There you go in hour away. But I'm going to the beach this weekend. That's right, Which beach? Outer Banks? Probably Corolla? Oh probably? So you don't know, well, I know it's in Outer Banks, but I don't know where the house is at. I didn't. You're just going for the ride. Yeah, there's like twenty of us, so you don't know Corolla four by four duck. No, I know them. I'm just saying I don't know where the house is. I didn't pick it, so. You don't know. If it's in Killdevil Hills, it's north, it's the Hatters, Outer Banks, it's. North, it's up there somewhere. Okay, Corolla most likely, Yes, if she's staying in the same house, that would be neat. Like, yes, this house for Logan, that thing you pretty much could get lost, didn't you a matter of fact, A few of them did get lost in that house. It was it was nuts, he did. I don't know. I've never been there before, right, but yeah, I'll be away from you hoodlums. Well you'll love it. Outer Banks is the best. I love except it's supposed to it's supposed to rain all week. Really well, here it is. Listen, we need. It, I know, but not at the beach with me. No, I do sound like a grand dad. We're like, I mean, the lake is five feet down and I googled it, hey eyed it for every inch of rainfall that our watershed gets the lake only moves up three two six inches. Wow, it's five feet that we I heard there's that they're trying to. Make it wrong with the damn. But all right, moving on, God, we gotta get this show. H like moving. There's kind of lethargic today. Okay, I think it's your back probably, so. I think it's time to start sprinting this. Day in history, This day in history. I found this interesting. In eighteen seventy three, blue jeans were invented by this guy, Jacob Davis. I thought it would have been like Levi or something. Well guess what that's who his partner was. Oh really by Strauss? Did you startle? But I'm pissed because Levi Strauss was the money guy. Jacob was the guy who did all the work. Jacob was the denim dude. Yes, yeah, he was the guy that invented literally the the rivets and stuff and they put the jeans together. Well, how come the money guy gets all the credit? It's an American way. Capitalism today, Jacob is kind of like we working in the field and you getting to renovate your kitchen. Right, salute you today, Jacob Davis and Charles Lindberg. Yeah, so this day in history, Charles Lindberg was the first to fly successfully across the Atlantic. And how later? What year would you think that that was? Uh, twenty I'm going to say nineteen twenty three. It was nineteen twenty seven this day, so exactly one hundred year, ninety nine years ago. Wow, man, that's crazy. Yeah, can you believe that? To be honest with you, since when did flying commercially become like a thing? Like, you know, fifties with Pan American airlines fifties? Yeah, what's changed that industry? What? What has changed much in the airline industry? I mean the planes, Yeah, maybe a screen in the back of the seat occasionally. I mean, I haven't seen much change in the airline industry. The jets are pretty much seen. Yeah, all right, yep, all right, Moving on to drama. I've been since I haven't got any shows that I'm like locked in on right now. I've been catching it although it's not on my list, that gone it, I forgot Ashley and I have started watching the new Dunting Ranch. It's better than Yellowstone, you're kidding, So it's going to be a massive hit. He can't. He was definitely the star of the show. And how awesome that they brought rip. I mean, yeah, it's uh, he's. Just got that. He's got that about him, you know what I mean. It makes you want to keep watching. So, yes, we watched the first two episodes of Duntin Ranch. It was phenomenal. I think it's gonna be getting better and better. Like, I'm so glad that they continued to do that. Are you caught up on Neighbors and Friends? I am. I'm still kind of stuck in a lull with it. I was very glad that they went back to a normal episode instead of the one they did before with the Yahole funeral thing. Yeah, I'm glad it went back to a normal. So I've been catching up on different shows like gun Smoke and Andy Griffith and some of these. Yeah, well this was one of my favorites from Andy Griffith. Ernest tea bast was hilarious. Yeah, back in the day, and this is this is Andy teaching. So what big body of water is to the west? Go ahead, geography, that's right here. Here is a map of the United States that's right now. The United States is bounded on the north by Canada, on the south by Mexico, on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, and on the west by would the would you have to know that? Yeah, old man Kelsey's woods. All the way to the edge, big body of water, Old Man. Kelsey's creek, ocean, Pacific Ocean, Pacific Ocean. Very good, very good boundaries, good doing, just as long as they don't change the before I take my test. Such a simple but yeah, good old days. Yes, so I started watching it was, I guess last Wednesday because it was called it was a documentary on Netflix called Best of Enemies. And I don't know when I told you this or when we had discussion. Maybe we talked during the weekend. But the Rush Limbaugh is obviously the guy that probably had more influence on me politically than anyone else, allow out right, and his influence I remember him talking about was William F. Buckley. Okay that Buckley was the foundation, the voice of the conservative movement in the United States. Yes, so I was intrigued by this thing. It was called the Best of Enemies and it changed TV forever. It was in the nineteen sixty eight convention years and ABC News was in last place of the three networks, and when they had the Republican convention, they went to all the news agencies. Whenever they did a convention, they would just go Gavel to Gable. You would just see who was all day, yeah, right, which is what I would prefer exactly. But ABC News in last place, they decided to start doing their own debate of political viewpoints. And instead of just showing the convention, it was William F. Buckley against this guy and I didn't know his name, Gore Vidal, and Gore was like a liberal mind. And when you watch a documentary, you know that you're going to watch a slanted slanted yes, right, but because who we are today, you can see through that. And even Sam Donaldson doing the interviews. You know who Sam Donaldson is today, right, so you know he's going to be a Vidal guy. So all of those things, like he's ripping the Republicans for trying to hide down in Miami, iman just the words that he's using. And then that year they had the convention in Chicago, the Democrats, and it was a disaster and watching those two go at it, dude, you know, we think we are in this big fight between liberalism and conservatism all that stuff and socialism. That's the same thing they were battling in nineteen sixty eight. And his words, even though he's using different people's names, are exactly the same things that we're talking about today. It was really cool. I think of that like Goldwire, Goldwater, gold Water. Yeah, that was a huge influence to Reagan. Yeah, but I think about that error and I think about how destructive the civil rights movement has sort of become with just learning from Vince Everett Ellison here marine fark there for a second, just listening to his show, and just how it has really just taken that movement is actually taken it backwards, yeah, in part. But how that still has a chokehold. And yet is there another movement that seems to like Reagan had his, but it lasted fifteen years before the Democrats figured out a way around it. And then you know, it's just I don't know. It's so maybe Trump's is here to stick around for a while. So William F. Buckley and I can hear a lot of him in Trump. So, like I said, he led the conservative movement. Rush Limbaugh went to him for advice. He was just this older guy, but to me he was always this arrogant, really rich rich I mean, I assumed rich guy, but when you watch the documentary you realize he was a lot more down to earth than you can imagine. I always thought he was just this pompous guy that used these big words, and man, he was such a smart guy. But what they did in the documentary was they literally made it sound like he was anti rule because he was hiding his own gayness. They pulled that in the last ten minutes and guess what they show during that After after they say that, they also say, no one has ever corroborated that. Oh, I know, that's Scott. They've been doing that for forty years. Okay, so no one's ever corroborated it. Why would you put it in your documentary if you can't corroborate it to call it a documentary. But then even worse, in the next scene, they show him in the in the in the ocean, swimming in his shorts no shirt on, frolicking with Ronald Reagan like both of them had. I was like, come on, this is the window type thing ever. But if you go get through it all, it was really informative enough so that I bought a book from William F. Buckley. I got it, got it two days ago. It's too smart for me. I mean, the words are just what are you doing? I don't know what happened there. I don't. I'm just enjoying a refreshing drink. What is it? Did he get it for you? Good grief? Maybe we can edit that out? Are you slurping on camera? I did? I didn't cut that out. You really getting me? I can't do those little anyway? That was cool. That was best of enemies. It's worth watching. Uh all right? Yeah? Moving on TDS Trump Arrangement syndrome news headlines. I bet they're really out of whack this week. Now. ABC News headline, Trump helps outs Massy Oust? Yeah, outs oust? Was it? I just the word is oust? I know, but I thought I copied paste. I don't typically type it, but I could have. I mean unless he outs Massy as in. Oh yeah, like no, I'll just try to out. NBC News Trump notches GOP primary wins, but midterm questions remain. Of course, That's what they used to say. Remember that he could win primaries, but his picks never won the actual elections. Except McGuire. Was that checked? Is there? Oh? Yeah, he started winning. I mean they would always use the one or two cases like you couldn't. Yeah, Like, I saw something the other day. It came across my TikTok and it was MSNB whatever they're called now, MS NOW or something, right, and it was this lady in Florida upset a Republican and you know that was a stain on Trump. Right, So I'm like, when did this happen? So I google it. It was last year and it was it was a state race. Like, what the hell's they got to do with Trump? I saw where he since twenty twenty is they said one hundred percent and his nomination. Picks oh for promise. Yeah yeah, you don't want to cross him? And I think Nasty found that out. Oh yeah, I guess we'll get into that later, right. Yep, yep, CBS News. Iran threatens war beyond the region if US attacks. Yep, they go with BB guns. I'm to the point now where I'm just like, I almost wish Trump would just hurry up, Like but then again, I get it. I mean I don't I don't know, so I just. A we're still stopping ships. I don't even know what's going on. I know, you don't even know because they don't because nobody reports that. Nobody. Yeah, they don't want to they want to give you their opinion. They don't want to just report what's actually going on exactly. I was speaking of reporting and what's going on. Last night. I'm watching sky News because I always like to check out to see what the Brits say. Yeah, and sometimes I can't stomach. They're sore, they're as woke as we used to be, you know, like and well they might be worse and like we were going down that road. Thank God for trumping changing things. But the news, the lady says, obviously England is going through the heat wave that we're going through apparently, and the woman says that the apartment she lives in had not accountered for climate change when they built it in twenty twenty. Jeezus, that that's why it's really hot in her room because the ac there's no ac. They didn't account that there would be climate change. I stumbled upon a YouTube, I guess podcast and it's called Trig Trigger Noometry and it's a guy I think from England and another guy and it's actually a phenomenal podcast and they had. A more phenomenal than ours. No, but it really is good. He's a national guy, like a. From a matter of fact, he was the one that spoke about climate change is useless when China's going to do what it does. He's really good. So anyway, they had a activist on, their former activist who was like on news clips, like very very high up the stories she tells from within, and it was a phenomenal podcast because they were asking questions like what got you looked, you know, and she explains education like it's in your system. It is being you know, pounded into your curriculums. And what was. Interesting is later on she talked about when the news media would give you facts that would refute climate change. She basically said, it's illegal for us to go change the data. That doesn't mean we can't make the data say what we wanted to say. So for instance, if you looked at a twenty year period and over twenty years it doesn't show what you're out here preaching, then you just change your parameters and make it a five year oh yeah, and say, oh well, it's the temperatures have gone up, and you just that's. It, and that's it's manipulative. Yeah, of course, and it's it shocked me. I was like, wow, just this is what they do. I just wanted to tell the lady, hey, don't you think your landlord just cut corners and didn't have to put it in AC hoping that it wasn't going to be really warm? And you sucker and you got suckered in. She should go to the houses that we own that were born built in the nineteen forties that have AC. You know what I mean, Come on, lady, it's crazy. I dated a girl twenty years ago, been longer than that, probably twenty five years ago. How long have you been Mari d Ashley? That's why to think. Anyway, she lived in Jersey three years. She was from Jersey, and I went. I went up there to meet her parents and stayed up there for a week or something, and I was shocked going through a neighborhood of how many people up north did not have central air. Oh, like down here, it just became like if you didn't, it was like, yeah, you know, why don't you up there? It's the exact opposite, like if you had it, it was like, well, you crazy. That's one of my favorite things about you know, I don't like heights, and I don't like planes, but my favorite thing of a plane is looking to see how people live differently. If you fly in Florida, how many pools the percentage of pools is just incredible. Oh he ha, green and porches all that. Remember how they would cancel school here because of the heat, and immediately I would go. We didn't have central air when I went. That was not that long ago it is now, but we didn't have central air in school. I don't even I can sort of remember when we were allowed to wear shorts, but they had to make sure the shorts down. That's right. Where's you're that? That's right? You don't had it lucky, Emma. Mm hm brook feels straight, feels straight, a. H blames a lot. I'm sorry you're stealing that. Both of you. You guys are reading turds. I'm going to miss that next week, all right. Yeah, TikTok shout out, Oh did you do all your you did all your headlines? All right? This TikTok shout out. It's just so lucky because that the caption I was going to give to this is what it must be like at Logan's house. All right, I love this dude and it makes me laugh every single time. I don't even know what the guy's name is. What's does it say down to the bottom, Gabrielle or something? Gabriel This dude, This dude has over ninety thousand followers. Good lord, watch this thing. He's feeding a pig. He's got a parrot behind him dancing, enters the dance chicken with Bob in his head. I'm imagining this is what happens in your house. This is Logan's house. Yeah, definitely all the animal pretty much every time I watch this, I think Logan. Christ's hilarious part is actually in root. They will dance. Like he's got how he's got him in the camera angle. The pig is like stop dancing, can just give. Me the dance? Foo? I like that bird. That bird was jamming. Dude, Look how they got him over the shoulder, Like it's how does he keep the parrot and the chicken sitting there and the pig with the glasses on? It has a million likes? That's crazy. Oh that's awesome. But yeah, that guy's got like over ninety thousand followers on YouTube. Can you tell what his channel is? I should have wrote that down anyway, Gabriel and Sicky Elena. Just look for the guy that has the eating pig and the dancing parrot. Look at all of them. The guy with the play that one real quick? Can you hit it? Larious? The pigs eat like that? You mean do they eat like that? We? I mean you can sit there and feed them with a spoon. Yeah, I'm sure you could. Oh my god, well I didn't know you could do that either. Yeah. Every pig I've ever seen you just put a trough a bucket. I mean when roofs stayed inside, you just you can feed her out of your hand. It's the same. So is it the same song every time? Yes, but just different costumes. Pig's got a wig on. How long do you think it takes him to film one of those? Just to edit it? I mean, if the bird gets out of the out of the. Way, it's one It's one solid thing. If you watch, there's no cuts, so it's one take. You must have a hell of a producer. That is hilarious. He went down and kissed the pig. That's awesome anyway, that's my shout out. Definitely, uh my TikTok form. Whenever I go out there, I'm always just when I pull the driveway, I'm like, what am I going to see? A llama? We want what you want? Camels? Gosh, oh, how's the tiny house? Me? Yeah? Did you get the microwave fixed? I did. It's actually in its place because I was having to carry it from my chair to my counter every time I wanted to do. Which is literally like the bed. And then no. I think we're good enough. It fits it. I don't miss those days. It's just me and my dog in there though. So yeah, I have a dead bug corner. Every time I kill a bug, it goes into the corner until I vacuum it up. Logan got his living room remodeled, like they finished that part of it. Huh oh, it looks so good. I said something day. I was like, what are you going to do? I'm going home and stretching out my living room. It's like getting had a living room since he lived there. Yeah, very cool. All right, yeah, man, moving on to sports. It's time for sports, all right. Their French is still out of the country. They're back. Turn your ears down. We're going to talk a little Nascar. Nascar cat Oh, we got to get this resolved because I've heard so many different. People. I just you and I I think can fix the problem with NASCAR. They should just hire us for years. So the Dover Race was the All Star Race, and a lot of the complaints that I heard were Jesus, it took all day. And then you know a lot of people feel the same way I do. I used to go to that race every year for fifteen years. Man, and not the Coca Cola six h on her you went to the All Star I did both, okay, because it was the All Star Race was so cool. Yeah, because it was at nighttime and I forgot who it was set it up perfectly, and it wasn't Junior, it was it was some other NASCAR guy. And he said, and he's exactly right. The All Star Race was for the casual fan. Can you talk quite hello? He says, doing a show? So the All Star Race was for a casual fan, not you know, it was to track new fans, but it was also for the Hey, I don't want to sit through six hundred rights. Quick race should be a quick race. And it had all your stars. It had everything you wanted in a race. And I still go back to what NASCAR missus is Humpy Wheeler. Yeah, he was a promoter. So that race was promoted million dollars, cash, giveaway, whatever it was. The dude did concerts whatever to get you there. And now it's like, we're going to take it to Dover and it was just first of all, you hit the nail and hit I think you texted why is this in a day race? I was trying to introduce my friend Warren to the All Star Race. Saturday night, we're heading back to this house. We're going to watch the Ronda Rowsey fight. So he's got literally three TVs. I said, you can do Ronda Rowsey on this TV, you can do the Paramount UFC on this, and we'll watch the All Star Race on this TV. And I looked and I was like, the All Star Race is Sunday afternoon. It's awful. What are you doing? Like it's like they can't get out of the way. Yeah, that's a horrible mistake. So now I hear them talking about Nashville, try to have it there. It's like, yeah, the reason why it was so successful in Charlotte is that's where all the drivers. Are, That's where the home base was, so you sort of made it. Starting on Wednesday there was some sort of event. It was for the pit crew, right, and then Thursday you got to meet like they bring back the old drivers and it was a big deal. And then Friday you had practiced and they put the cars out because that's really when new paint schemes sort of started, because that's when Earnhardt had his silver car. You know, just different stuff. It's like, and that's where the drivers live. So they loved it. They were all home. They yeah, yeah, and if you weren't in the All Star Race, you got a week off. Yeah, like that's the way baseball is football, that's you know. But no, ye, they're just good. They have to. I don't know. I don't know why they screw it up. But Denny Hamlin won. And you know, I've heard people say, oh, the racing was good. No it wasn't. Yeah, I didn't see a la We were at. Sunday was a pool day. It was a nice hot day. The pools opened, our friends and all that's where we went. So I didn't watch a laugh of it. Well, they just bring it back to Charlotte. Paint the wall yellow like you used to you know, and put only twenty cars in the field. Yeah, that's it. And then if you want to do the winner of the open, yeah, that you did before, not the top five, the winner, right, that's it. Ye do that with it. It's like they think, if we keep doing the same thing, people are just going to get tired of it and stop watching things you're choosing to do. Doesn't make more people come watch it? Right? Yeah? Anyway, all right, this week's NASCAR race is in Charlotte. Oh, that's right, we got to make picks. Coca Cola six hundred. We'll do our picks later on with Carolina Kevin. But are we doing we double up in this weekend? Like, are we doing the six hundred and Indy? Well, not for the points, but I guess we could still make it, right, we could make make a pick of the indies of the Indie. Yeah, we're not going to a top three or any not, like we don't really do. Yeah, but and you watched qualifying before we get off of motorsports. I watched the Indy five hundred qualifying. Yeah, because it is on the verge of I almost can't watch your edgy. They're going so fast, you're going in the turn going the dude was going two hundred and forty one miles an hour into the turn, and I'm like, oh my gosh, is he going to be able to stick it? And he does and I'm like, holy cow, these dudes are They're averaging two crazy? Wow. I do like, now you tell me the difference. Because you're a mathematician, you're a math elite. So NASCAR, when you watch, you're gonna see an average of time, whereas in Indie you see an average of speed. Is there what's the difference? Why does one do one one to the other. Well, my guess is NASCAR doesn't want to show the speeds anymore because they used to go faster. And what's really dumb in a NASCAR race is they show the speeds like during the middle of a lap, which is absurd because some people are in the turn, some people are in the straightaway. That doesn't really give you any indication other than like in IndyCar, they want to show you the telemetry, which F one does really good job of two when they're in the car and you can see when they get down the backstretch you can see just how fast they go. NASCAR really doesn't ever give you that too much. They just show it on the ticker. Doesn't really make a lot of sense. So I don't know, Well, you've made you've made it safer. Why not He's up a little go back to the V eight. Yeah, and let us race go go fast. Like Kevin Harvick has said it the other day. I think it was him that said, legitimately, you can now buy a truck with more horsepower. Oh yeah, and that's not good. Yeah. Tony Stewart said he doesn't even watch because. Oh that's right. Tony Stewart was one of the. Men said he doesn't even watch because they're not even racing as fast as he used to race it ten years ago. Yeah, but everybody's equal, all right. Yeah, NBA. Yeah, haven't been following, but then started to watch the other night, and my lord, my goodness, both games. Last night's game Yeah, was I literally was you know what? You know what caught me to stick on it and actually stay up to watch it. Mike Breen Okay, he was doing the Knicks game and Knicks were down fifteen and then all of a sudden to ten and then eight and then six, and you're like, whoa this might and he literally said the garden sounds like bellom is broken out. You're like, yeah, this is this might happen. And sure enough, the nixt end up winning it in overtime. Uh so they're the Spurs beat the Thunder and double overtime. That was the Thunder's first loss in the playoffs. It was I'm kind of giving them a pass because they had been pretty much off for a week. It's one of those and I thought those Spurs played really well and still it took two overtimes to to beat him. You got to get props Toby, props to Wimby. He is crazy good, doesn't do. You not see all that he hit from behind the art. He's a shock. I think that he's the near perfect center that we haven't had in forever or ever. People are calling him like one of the greats. Yeah, he's just incredible. Can we do this over a period of time instead of just no? I mean, you gotta give him his do where are you what's his name? Does this? And you call him a wreck ball player, but he's slow, he's a guard. He's not the same guy. He's not seven foot four either. It's not the same I'm not the he's talking about Luca. No, no, lujah. I mean, come on, Luca is probably the most unathletic person to score thirty points ever, just because Wimby's seven. I mean that guy can dribble, he can do everything. Could he go inside against shack body up against him? He can shoot over him. Okay, yeah, I did think it was good. I didn't get to see much of the game. I just got to see some clips. The matchup between who's the tall, skinny fellow for the Thunder, Yeah, having him against Wemby, that's a pretty good little match. Oh Weinby can hold his own though, check every time he gets heady flies. Yeah, but Chet had a block to see it. We'll see if Wimby can do it over a period of time. I didn't know you were such a hater. No, listen, I'm a realist. I've watched the seventy six ers anoint what's his name is the next Greatest, and he's played like two playoff games since because he's. Hurt all the time. So let's just let it happen over a period a couple of years before we annoy him the next Greatest. What I like about Wemby versus the guy that you mentioned that the Sixers is. Wemby seems to have some backbone where the guy for the Sixers would rather just shoot threes from outside, and he's bigger than everyone on the floor, at least Wemby. In my opinion, Wemby's game reminds me of the Greek freak Yew because he just goes at that basketball like I'm going to get there. And I mean, I don't know how much he weighs, but when I guess you're seven three or seven four, you can kind of reminds me of Ralph Sampson a little bit. That that bill two hundred and thirty five pounds. Yeah, I mean's my weight A foot taller. Wow, did you see Isaiah Thomas was just hired by the Celtics If I didn't even know who he retired? The basketball Isaiah Thomas? Yes, okay, the player Isaiah Thomas. Is he still around? No? Apparently he just got hired as a pro and college scout. Oh okay, okay, I thought you meant the Isaiah Thomas that we knew, which is a Detroit Piston Jason Kidd got hired. Yeah, that's kind of shocking. It was kind of shocking. They're probably in the new general manager, and he just I think he wants to take that team in a different direction. The over under thirty days that Jason Kidd is working for someone else, that's a good question. Trip. I'm going to say, No, you don't think you will. I think we helpe you hireding two. I don't know who's what's out there available, but yeah, he definitely could be fired. I mean, put it this way, I'd fire my guy today to go get him. I like Jason Kidd who just went to the tar Heels. He had gotten fired. That guy he had already he had already been fired. Could they hire Kat could be the worst that'd be the worst hire in college sports this year college basketball? You think, yeah, I can't see how that's going to work. It was the tar Heels, right, you wouldn't see. Yeah. I don't know who that team is either, ye. Anyway, I we'll see. I don't know, all right, Jason Kidd, whether he was gonna get another job, Yeah, we'll see. I don't Uh, it'd be interesting to see who goes there. I do have a question because I watched an interview with kan Ka Nipple. He was on Dale Junior download and. You. Dale was saying, how you forget that all those drivers live in Charlotte, so that is their team, the Hornets, and he was talking about how awesome it was that they finally have a team to pull for and he could just see this team getting better. So the thought came over my head as I'm driving, if you're Charlotte, do you just try to find a little piece to bring in to make him a little better or do you make a splash and you go get Onto Takupoh, and you put him with khn and Mellow. I mean, that's that's a pretty interesting team. Then, yeah, I don't where else do you put Onto Takupo. I mean, I don't know. I don't even know. I wonder if he's if his days are gone. Oh, yes, they're definitely gone. I think the Bucks are done too with him. So he's definitely. Done with the Bucks anyway, All right, Moving on NHL, the Hurricanes in the Canadians will square off tomorrow night while in the East Eastern Conference Finals, while the Avalanche in the Nights. We'll go at it tonight for the Western Conference Finals of Hockey are you watching any of this? Might catch you game or night watch the Hurricanes tomorrow night. Yeah, that'd be interesting. And how about your boy Tommy Turberville. What's it? What's you got going on? So Tommy Turberville, you know, has been a senator for for Alabama for years. Yeah, he is now going to be running for governor as the Republican. He won his primary last night. Cool and pretty much in Alabama, that's that's who your governor will be, right, Yeah, so it. Sounds like a step down. I don't understand why senator would become a governor. I don't either, Lady Tennessee. I think he's going to do the same thing. Unless you're just tired of going to the sealing with it. Yeah, that is sports. Sports is brought to you by. Need Insurance in Bedford. I'm David honekir local State Farm agent.

We are your go to state farm agent, like a good neighbor. State farm is there? Call us today? It's time for news, uh massif loss you know what bumper I think we should use next week if Logan's here if you can't find it. We used to have that What's Happening? I used to love that down Remember that show? Oh yeah, rewind yeah, rerun, rerun, Ye know what's happened? Do you still have the old bumper for what's happening? Before my time? Yeah, it's not on your queue. No, it was really good. Wow, you just throw old things out. It wasn't even here when I started. All right. Last night, yeah, last night was big primaries, always kind of across the nation, right yeah. And the one I was watching, I think, along with a lot of people, was whether or not Trump could knock off Thomas Massey because he had said that he was going to. And I started watching it and I go, oh, this isn't close. And then there'll be some counties that'll come around your boy who I love. During election time, Bill Hammer comes on and starts showing the counties. I may have the number wrong, but let's just say twenty counties in that district, right, Nineteen of them were for the opponent, and Massy had only won one county out of twenty. And I was like, holy cow, like he dropped forty points. That's from last primary to this primary. If like listen, I Trump has said it. He said, I was elected with a mandate. I'm going to do what the hell I said I was going to do. And I think his point is, you're not doing what your constituents have asked you to do. And I will give him credit on that. He's exactly right who Trump Massy wasn't doing what his constituents wanted him to do. So I heard a pretty in depth analysis of it today. I was actually on Clay and Travis and I just I mean Clay Travis and Bucks Sysens and this is what I believe actually did happen. So Massey has butted heads with Trump before, oh yes. And it was about COVID actually, and it was about freedom and that kind of thing, because remember Trump was the vaxer kind of guy in the beginning. Sure that the big beautiful fax is coming, all that stuff, and he kept trying and Trump was shutting down. Well, you know, based on Fauci, So he was butting heads with Trump. But at the time, and this is what I loved about Thomas Massey. It was always about I don't give money to foreign interests, right, and the national debt, so I don't vote for things. And everybody knows I'm not going to vote for things it's going to increase the debt. In Kentucky voted for him eighty percent, even though that Trump was against him. It was when he turned in the last six months eight months, and I don't know what happened to Massie. It's almost like Marjorie Taylor Green, what happened to you that you started becoming this Epstein night. Nobody wants to hear about Epstein. Everybody would just assume it go away. And the stuff that you said about it, like if you were the person that was in the note, the things that you were saying about Trump was just and no one wanted to hear about it. So the people Kentucky were smart enough to go, hey, you are not doing what we want you to do. Sure they let him go. Yeah, it was so I I look at I don't know, I just think there's a lot of people who like, I love Ran Paul because he does stick to his guns. But at the same time, there's also parts of me to go, Ran, what are you doing? Like it's easy to go now, I'm against that because you're not lowering the debt? But what are you putting forward to help lower the debt? Right? Like? What plans are you putting forward? And maybe he is and we're just not hearing about him. But I don't want just an oppositionist. I want something to get done too. You know I said, I think I said it to you the same as I said about Bob Good. I wanted Bob Good to win, but I know the person that's going to replace him, it's going to vote the way I wanted to vote to So if it turns out there's gonna be less fighting and name calling and all that stuff, then okay, we'll move. I'll give you a great example of who I think is perfect because he's right there with Massy. But then when it got to the point he voted to move forward to Bill not because he just forgot about his uh and uh, you know, his will or whatever, and he just you know, just caved, but he knew it was the right thing to do to move it forward. And that's the bush Timber chat. That's who he's perfectly talking about. Yeah, because he's like, look, it's not perfect, but I can't. Well. I remember him saying too, it's one of those votes where they needed his vote, and he said, well, they're calling me to the woodshed. Yeah, I'm going to the woodshed. And he comes out and he goes, it ain't worth fighting it. It's gonna we're gonna go in the right direction. But I like that, like I be honest, Like, hey, it could be worse. If we vote this down, we're gonna end up losing. So and I would rather be more like him, because I do. That guy's about as honest as they get. I love his his tiktoks or whatever. When he shows him having a little party. He's hilarious in the making skateboards and stuff. Like hemei's funny, all right. I saw this, Trent. This is an old brewery that lasted nearly one hundred and seventy seven years. But when I saw that Schlitz has closed its doors, I said, man, the only way I remember Schlitz is one way. And that's the commercial. This is a Schlitz malt liquor beer commercial. Cut too, bear the beer. If you're ingar bowl, taste beer, you waste. The bulls got the ball. Tasted beer, the bowl that smooth the steps, Bob thick your ball. You're on the bump. This bulls got it all. Don't save beer, save ball another ball. No one doesn't like a ball. Do you remember those? Oh my gosh, dude, Yeah, have you ever tried one? No? Me neither. I wonder what they tasted like it was before my time of drinking a beer. Schlitz. Yeah, I saw a really cool documentary on that. How they Uh there's a guy that I follow on TikTok. I had to use him when I get a chance to do that episode again. But he does, uh, he follows businesses and what made him fall apart and Schlitz what they fell apart was they kept trying to cut costs and so what they did was they actually changed their formula so that about the pastorization or whatever and it and it totally changed the taste, like it was just alienated their people. Yeah. So if you're these big beer manufacturers, they were selling more slits than Budweisers were selling Budweisers. They were that big. Wow. Yeah, So these beer manufacturers cores uh An hazer Bush, these little breweries that we have locally and things like that, do they take up a hurt? Is that why you see annhwser Bush bought like Devil's Devil's backbone and things like that. It's just a cure. Yeah, I don't know. Because you look across America and there's a brewery every corner. It seemed like, yeah, I'm not a big are you an? I p a guy? I don't understand that, Like it looks like you're drinking thick coffee or something. Yeah, I'm not a big I don't I don't know. I'm closer. Like even if I go to one of those places and I ask, what's the closest thing to a course? Like, yes, you know, you sound like me the yellow ale? Now I do you like a stella? Stella? Those are good beers Artois, Yeah, but nobody says that they Marty likes a stella? Are these beers? Hey? Yeah? Next week's about Rushmore Top five beers hop five beers thinking oh, you're not going to be here? Yeah, I know. That's because I don't drink beer. Well, neither does Logan and neither do I. But I know what a good beer is. The only kind of alcohol I like is like a rum and coke. They had a girl like BlackBerry crown specifically, that's the only one I've had. But that's not rum. That's whiskey, and I like rum and cocough. I like this, gotcha and. Damn for the girl. Don't drink it, that's all I like. I mean, it's in a white claw tea. Oh I did twisted teas of. The pool angry orchards are bad. It's a great pool drink. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I'm not a big fan of all the flavored stuff. Have you tried the Mountain dew Seltzers? Have you tried the Mountain dew Seltzers? Me? Neither? Have you? Do you do the the different types of uh flavored vodkas and stuff? Well, I'm a Tito's guy, so everything is Tito's, but I add different flavors all the time. You don't get like an orange, I've been doing a meo, do it? I use a meo and flavored different. I don't know. They made flavored Sky definitely makes them, don't they. Uh Sarak, they do a flavored and you know, I can't remember what the other one is, but there are there is a company that has all kinds of flavored focas. Are you a Scotch any of that stuff? I think there are parts of it that I like, Like I do like a brandy, but a very specific small this much, you know, and it has to be sipped on for a very very long time. I never have gotten into that sip and stuff. See, I can't do the wine. Y'all. Go do the wine stuff, and I think wine is disgusting. See there's plenty of that you can headache find and make. It's really a good thing. I don't like alcohol because I'm a chugger me too, That's what I. Do, white zenfidel. You know I had to buy all that stuff this past weekend for a banquet. Is that wine? I forgot about? I didn't even mention that. How the bank will go? Glad you asked? It went? Well, it's always, dude. It's my favorite thing is just seeing a young female and a young male win Athlete of the Year for their school. And I keep I say that's a plaque they'll have that. They will say, like, don't get me wrong, and I'm not trying to downplay this, but everybody says I was first team All district. I was first team all you know, But no, I was Athlete of the year. Like that's a to me, that's a big deal. Do you know who won this year? Yes? Was it Shania? Yes? She won? And I actually no, no, it's not to say anything bad about the male athlete, but I literally asked the guy that was presenting, I said, hey, when you do this, do the male first. You don't want to do his after shaniah. Yeah, because Shania had a list. I mean she had seven vhs vhso record she has broken. Wow. You know you don't You don't want to have to go after that, right, But she's a sweet person and so yeah, it was. It's good to see her win. Who was your mail? Do you remember? Uh? Yeah, I got named Ridick Tice as soccer player. Oh cool? Yeah, yeah, we always have a good time doing that. I think every school should do it, but I didn't know that other schools don't do it. Never heard of them another school doing it. That's awesome. Yeah, well, Counts uh was announced because they're a sponsor of the club. So thank you to. Counts for sponsoring the Minimen Club. Next year, I think we're gonna try to do it at the new Hilton here, the Himpton End Conference Center. I'd like to And you tell me, well, I mean, it's not like we're doing a show or anything. You tell me, would you want it what we do? Just to be a little more formal, to keep it casual? Yeah, all right. Do you just still have the school send you who the male and female is or do you do three each and then announce it that night? Make it a competition? Now? I don't know. Oh, I thought I can see pros and cons ei the way. Oh yeah, definitely, two kids disappointed they didn't win. That's true. Yeah, we'll keep the way it is. Two families ticked off and start saying that you cheated. Yeah, it's true. Next year's gonna be tough for Liberty. It is. It's gonna be really tough because you've got the tail back, the running back that leads led the district Seminole District in rushing. He's back this year. And then you've got Aidan Paget, who basketball pretty yeah, pretty bagne good. Do either of them play another sport that they could be good points? I don't think so, and that's yeah. They should definitely track both do track? I think yeah? Yeah, so that's your tiebreaker? Yeah, running back yep. All right, Yeah, what are we going to now? Oh, before we get out of what's happening, Yeah, we'll do Dominion. Did you read that Dominion Power was bought out? Yeah, a company called Next Error Energy. They are buying them for sixty seven billion dollars. Maybe we should go into energy somehow. No, I don't know how I'm going to get in there. All right? Moving on? Yeah, our post of the week by idiot. My post of the week by an idiot was a video that I literally found on an Idiot's Facebook page. But I want to it's a little long video, but I want to listen to because I want you to understand. These are four of the most destructive presidents I think we've had, lecturing us on us making it another two hundred and fifty years. But you, I think you'll follow the innu windows that they're saying in this message. Go ahead. My message is don't give up on America. Where the longest lasting who's giving the elected government in history now, and a lot of people didn't think we'd make it this long. I think it'd be a good thing if we made it longer. So everybody should be thinking about that this year. Can you pause? I just say, I want that's Clinton talking about this thing. Right. Do you think he sits there and thinks, what have y'all done to my party? I hope he does, but he does. He doesn't get any indication that way, right, But your party is not who you were a buddy, No, not even close. No, if anything, Trump is right with you. Yeah, exactly. Anyway, go ahead. I'm sorry, make it longer, because if I do, then I have to favor cooperation over constant conflict, and I have to be willing to lose. As well as women. My message is, consider yourself fortunate to be a part of a great nation. Study our history so you have a better sense for what the future would be like, and be a citizen, not a spectator. And by that I mean participate in the process, but also love a neighbor like you'd like to be loved yourself. If we hold true to that idea that we the people have been gifted this chance of self government. If we pay attention to our responsibilities and our duties, and if we extend respect and thoughtfulness to our fellow citizens even if we disagree with them, If we understand the part of this democratic project is to sort through our differences in peaceful legal ways, then we're gonna have another two hundred and fifty year run that's going to be just as good. We're the Sutique country of the world, mushtee country in the own sense it. We really do think democracy is dictated by that rule of the constitution probably, and we act and what we do we do well that all metacrated equal. Everyone's in the title of shot, that everybody has a shot. And I think we as we do that people, it grows instead of focus on divisions, because when I was now that it's divided as we're being. Portrayed, like when they're saying this, do you not look at that and go, you're participating in literally the worst. Yeah, like Obama's sitting there being condescending. Meanwhile you're literally the guy going behind the laws and screwing things up. Did you which one of those guys just went to Canada to try to user or try to undermine exactly. Come on, guys, and what are they going to do when Trump takes over? I mean, is no longer in but has every opinion if Newsom was to win, right, they would just be downing Trump. Out of those four presidents. And then you add, if you were to add Trump out of those five people, who's the one guy literally. Making a ballroom for? And yes, dude, I was so glad today he said the ballroom's not going to be done until I'm out. This isn't about me. Other presidents are the ones that are going to use it. He's the one doing that. He's the one fixing the founding fountain. He's the one trying literally to make our country better. And remember uh Biden's speech that he gave at the graduation about don't you you played the clip on your on your part when you when he was so talking down about I've got nothing to look forward to. Yah, Yeah, they don't. They don't have the They do not have a patriotic bone in their body. No, unless it's too down, unless it's to down the people that were before us, all the founding fathers, Just down any of that, apologize for what we've done right. Thank god, we don't have anybody doing that, any of those take a shot at their head, you know what I mean. God, I'm still seeing people talk about that there were four fake assassination attempts. I just saw it again this week that everything has been fake. Yep, my dumb post the week I'm going to read this to you. Donald Trump is about to turn January sixth criminals into millionaires with your tax dollars. The people who smeared feces on the Capitol walls, huntred Mike Pence through the halls of Congress, assaulted cops. He's creating a one point seven billion dollar apology fund for them. Disgusting. Yeah, well it was disgusting, was arresting people that were walking on the lawn and confining them without due process. And by the way, like that's what I love. Over time, you get to learn these things. Like you and I both I'm sure, were like, hey, why. Aren't these people getting fair trials? Why aren't this And then you see the current judge lecturing how the guy who literally wanted to kill our president, how he's being treated, that he should be treated better. Yeah, and you go, oh, that's the judge that was putting the January six ers in jail. Never mind, we now know why. I mean, it's awful the way and reporter said, are you going to be making are you going to expect to get money from this fund? You and your family? Yeah? Oh my god, it's so dumb ridiculous. Anyway, Well, speaking of ridiculous, unfortunately we have this week's killed by an immigrant? How about this one? Will every week it seems to piss you off more and more and it should wait. Do you hear this one? All right? Brenda? How do you even say that? Litlana Rivera estrada and why we have to have ten names a Spanish? Okay? Anyway, she was a thirty year old driving impaired when her car flipped, but it was she had her nine year old and three others were in the car. Her nine year old ended up dying. Wow. She was charged with nine different felonies. Okay, The prosecutor failed to bring the charges because he didn't think it was necessary, and so she was released. Fortunately, Ice has now taken her into custody and the DOJ is investigating the case. But why would a prosecutor just say ah, yeah, because apparently she was very inebriated. Oh okay, so I just again, all right, so where we're living? Oh, matter of fact, this is the video trupped. Okay, I believe this is the video that we were just discussing or a win win win for the week. We're gonna win, win, win, and we're gonna make America great again. Believe that people who committed violence against Capitol Hill police officers on January sixth should be eligible for compensation from this DOJ fund? And are you or your family members going to be seeking compensation from that fund? It will all be dependent on a committee. A committee's being set up a very talented people, very highly respected people. I think it's a committee of five. And again I didn't do this deal. It was told to me yesterday. They said they're doing something. I do believe there has to be compensation for people that were destroyed. You have families absolutely destroyed, and it's all going to be determined by a committee of four or five people that are respected and very brilliant at what they do. Yeah, and are your fans are you going to benefit from this? God? They do it on purpose? Man? But I love his response. Yeah, perfect concise. Does he hide from the media, No, No, he's I mean his mental acuity is like fly, I'm focused, just focused? Are you focused? I'm focused? I'm focused, all right. Moving on this week's Mount Rushmore. Yeah, I struggled with this one, and you should have who come up with the idea? I guess I did. I think it was you do an American Idol clip last week that ended up getting cut from our YouTube. Yeah. Clip. It's on the line though. So uh so this week's was Top American Idol. Were they winners or just like no, oh. That's if you did just winners, you would we ain't got a twenty some years or twenty. Years pick a top five after five y twenty, they were all awful. If you just pick winners, it would be very difficult. Okay, I didn't pick. I mean, I don't know. I couldn't get but a cup anyway, Go ahead, Harry, Yeah, I'll start with mine, okay, Number one Carrie Underwood. Yeah, she has to be number one. Yeah. I didn't add her to mine just because you already had some of these people that I liked that. I had Number two Jordan Love. She had the attractive black girl. Yeah, yeah, number three. Kelly Clarkson, yep, number four. I bet you don't know. Oh I loved her. Catherine McPhee, Yeah, she's one that did not win, correct, But she is an actress. Oh really. She was in one of my favorite shows on CB, Yes, Scorpion. Okay, it was an awesome show, wasn't it. It was she was she was the waitress, the waitress, the mom. Yes, who had a kid that was real nerdy and they yeah, a genius and they were a bunch of geniuses that could figure out crimes through math and stuff like that. It's kind of funny how people you don't you kind of forget where that you saw them from, or where they came from, and that kind of thing. Like the woman that fought Ronda Rowsey last weekend, And we didn't talk about the UFC fighter or any of that. But I did not know she's the same person that was fired by Disney for her conservative beliefs. I had no idea of that. And then I saw a bit of her interview with Sean Ryan. Yes, when she's sitting in a chair with Sean Ryan, that does not look like the same person that went to fight Ronda Rousey. She lost one hundred pounds. It's crazy. It was wild. It was We should have we should have talked about that, because I did watch and I actually called my sister and I said, why is there nobody there? Yeah, like I could not believe this stadium was empty? It was. And and then like I'm not a big fan of Jake Paul. I'm sorry, I'm just right. I just feel like they're just so fake. It's just unbelievable. And for him to be lecturing Dana White on just shut up. Yeah, good lord, he does that. And I love Dana White's responses. Okay, who are we talking about? John? The Paul John? What are they? Jake Paul? I mean you were talking about Humphy Wheeler. Yeah, I mean Jake Paul is a promoter and he's a guy. I will say. He made me watch that that fight. I was disappointed that the crowd was so empty, but. And there was Like I watched the five fights before that, and it was a freaking knockout in the first round all like every one of them. Yeah, one of them I think went a pretty good ways. Oh the Nate Diaz, that one went, but they ended up stopping it because of a cut, and then I. Was glad to see in Ghano back. I hope he starts fighting against Yeah. See correct? Uh so back to do you want to do? Uh? Did you finish yours? I don't do that. Last My last one was Hannah Harper. That the one you did last week or act? She just won? Okay, So Chris his was Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson. His his third guy is my second guy is Chris Daughtry mm. And then he had Scotty McCreary and Philip Phillips. So Philip Phillips, I do remember that, yep. And then when I asked my friend grew does Ama hat does she know any? Yes? Yeah, I love American idol. Oh you do? Yes? Okay, Well, well they were David and then I watched Oh very cool. Well let's hear it. Well I had Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, but I'll take them off Sunceil. You already had that on there. I had Scottie on mine, Chase Beckham. I don't know if you know. He's a country singer. He's put out a couple hits. And then Noah Thompson, also country singer. He won a couple of years ago, and then my number one would have to be Gabby Barrett. She's a country artist, pretty big hold on week. It's funny. I don't I'm at an agent how where I don't know actresses, actress or singers. If I know Gabby Barrett, I don't know any of them. She's yeah, old Gabby. She's amazing, but she got like third, she didn't win, but now she's one of the biggest. So I from somebody had told me that the a lot of the issues, believe it or not, you have some that are leaving American Idol. Because they get so Benson Boone. Yeah, because you get what they get record labels. Yes, take them up. I mean they'll quit the show and just join the record Like this. Guy blew up like he's performing at all of the awards. Everything Benson Boone. Yeah. And he quit after like the second round because he got a deal. Oh wow, it's smart. And then now he's like run with the. Money, take one and done. So yeah. With the Friend group, they had names the Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Philip Phillips. Uh, here's a name that I had in everybody say, Chris Allen mm hmmm. That's Julie's personal favorite. I think Chris Allen beat the person I said I thought I liked the most, and then Scotty McCreery, and let's see, nobody else would name well that the and then mind the only one I think I have that no one else has said is my favorite of all of them is Adam Lambert. That's the really, that's the guy that was so talented. He was the only one that I've ever seen that could do let's call it aeric smith and queen type, and he it up joining Queen and he's their lead singer. I'd be damn yeap. So if I got that right. For the most part, I'm not a big fan of American Idol because I feel like you don't get the best singer you get. Like I watch it and I literally go, Would. I pay money. To see them? Nine of them? No, but I would. I mean I'd go watch Carrie Underwood. I'd go. This latest girl. Matter of fact, she's going to be playing I saw it before she won American Idol. Uh, she's playing at that underground cavern in Tennessee. Oh my gosh, we should go. I want to, but it's bad time and I've got stuff going on. You know. There was one that I remember kind of became a country star, and then I guess she's waned a little bit. Was that Pickler girl? Oh, Kelly Pickle. Nobody had her on the list. No that Wow, she was terrific. She was kind of airheady, funny on the show. She came back a couple of weeks ago. We should go to a concert. I think that's what we've decided from us. Okay, okay, I'm in now us agreeing on one though, probably. All right, moving on to the second best part of the show.

All right, jumping into this, I'm sure you've heard this and you've seen this, but this is how crazy looney the dumbs have become. Right, that's the new word the Democrats. Okay, all right? Is her name Karen bass Oh, the mayor mayor of Los Angeles. Listen to this. If you have not heard this, Emma, you've got to hear what this lady explains what we need to be doing with our tax dollars. Fifteen. How many people who are on a house that you meet have no teeth at all? They don't have teeth? Why? Because meth broughts your teeth. You can't succeed with out teeth. So there needs to be comprehensive healthcare provided to people. Yes, that is the answer to all. Let's not forget. These are also the same people that want to just apply them with drugs. Yeah, I mean it's you remember they had they had drug kits. Yeah, I mean I'm not I'm assuming they still have drug kits. I don't. I have no idea, Lord, the maths that they come up with. For the love of God, don't vote for stupid people. Yeah. Crisis, what crisis? It's gonna be interesting? When is it? When are there? When is their elections? I got a Republican running against her, right, Yeah, oh my god, that's not a real All these people without teeth vote for teeth? Yeah teeth? That's just so okay. So you want to hear some more math that she does? Sure cut? Sixteen going to do in a with a second term that you weren't able to do in the first. Well, let me just tell you complete many of the things I've been working on. For example, we have a terrible problem in LA with copper wires, which means our street lights go out all the time. Well, about a month ago, I've rolled out a plan to install sixty thousand solar lights, moving away from copper and we're installing a couple of hundred a month. Don't catch them, Hell no, don't penalize them. No, so just switch to solar. Remember in DC what happens was it's the same two thousand people that are always doing something wrong, right, Start catching them, start arresting them, and all of a sudden you'll find out your streets are a lot safer. But for them, the answer is, we're losing copper wire out of our street lights. We're gonna start paying for solar lights. Isn't this the same place that sues these companies for leaving because their stores are getting stuff stolen at them and they want to leave and they see them. Yeah, I don't know if I can tell this story or not. Let us think just real quick, she'll mind. So I know someone that was a landlady. That had. Let's say, low income clientele right, and there was a big old lady that claimed she had fallen through the floor right understandable, okay, which was a complete farce. But they wrote the person I know a ransom letter nice that said, we won't prosecute. All we need is eighty acres and five hundred thousand dollars. How do you come up with those parameters? And then they quit paying their rent wow in this lower income house. So the lady I know took them to court to try to have them evicted. And this was during COVID, and she got lectured by the judge, Oh yeah, that how dare you try to evict someone when no one cares that the landlord might have a payment to make themselves right, the bank doesn't care. So the judge said, the only reason I am in your favor is because the tenant is not here today because he's been arrested. So they evicted him. The same couple rented a U Haul because they didn't have a car anymore, and they kept a U haul for two weeks. They never turned it in. They were using it for their own personal ride. And it just gets better. So the reason I thought of the story at all once they finally got them evicted, which you have to go through the process, real nightmare to try to evict someone. Right when they got into the house, the people had gotten through the outlets, the receptacles and reached as far as they could to pull the wiring out of the house so that they could get the copper wire. If that's what it was an older house. See if they could get the copper wire or use the wiring and stripped all the electrical work, they had no power in the house. Wow. So then not only did they get evicted, now she has to go in and fix everything before a new tenant comes in. Y is the reason I didn't. I don't do rentals trash. I mean, I just I some people are just trash. I just I do commercial because I feel like, if what he strips the copper out of here, he's probably not going to be in business very long for himself. That's a good point. So I always did commercial because I hear the whole stories that you're talking about, yeah, and I'm like, I don't want to do that. So if the lady that I know is the mayor of she would have kept them in the house because we can't unhouse someone. We would have just put solar panels. We would have paid other tax people's money, yes, to put solar power on that house, so that then they won't have copper wire. Never minds the haze that stays over LA and we can't power anything. Because there's no sunlight. Oh my goodness. Do you not think that the solar panel might be worth something too? That they end up just going up taking the solar panel? Yeah, street light, there'll be something, there'll be the next thing. How about just arresting these bastards and putting them in jail. Yeah, or put laser beams on the lights so when they go to steel it this. Yeah. The only thing I get upset about is when they talk about Bass being in a heated race with the guy that you said from that he used to the villain on TV. Yes, that guy. Yeah, it never pans out that it becomes a close race. He still loses by ten. And then let's well, let's make a prediction. I'm gonna say when is the vote? Let me google that. Okay, she's busy, all right, So dude, we're going to get to hear this lady run again. Okay, So here is the initial here's listen to this. Look, this is a moment where there are no bad ideas, no bad idea brainstorm is what I'd like to call it. And in that no bad ideas brainstorm, we talk about what we need to do and think about doing around the electoral College. We talk about the idea of Supreme Court reform, which includes expanding the Supreme Court. We invite a conversation about multi members districts. We talk about Look that if we win the Senate, which we should and we will, then the Senate Judiciary Committee should have rules that they put in place so when these people come before as nominees to the Supreme Court and lie, that they are held to a count and consequence, not just that somebody goes on cable news and says they lie, but that there are rules in place to actually penalize people for lying to a Senate Judiciary committee. That we agree that it is right to have ethics rules for Supreme Court justices, and let's jus in place, let's talk about statehood for Puerto Rico and DC. These are the things I think that we've got to do. We've got to neutralize these red states from cheating, including blue states expanding their maps and all of this, I think is, look, we gotta fight fire with fire. She's supposed to plan and win. We gotta play to win too. Well. She said there are now bad ideas. We had to keep throwing ideas out there. Every single one of those was a horrible idea if you could even understand what the hell she was talking about. Yet, we just watched four presidents talk about democracy. Yeah, what part of what she just said democracy? None of that is the will of the people. Literally, lying about the South right, I mean, it's just it's nothing more than just fabrications. But what I think is funny is when I say we get to hear her run again, this will be the first time she actually got to run. Now, she ran against Trump right for nine weeks, right, she was selected, but she never did a primary. Correct. Can you imagine her running against Newsom? An? No? Yeah, I mean, you bring up Newsom anybody. She's not winning. No. No. But the reason I'm saying that is I'm segueing to this next answer. Okay, so you got to go to cut twenty five. Listen to Newsom's word salad. We have to win. It's all on the line. You just gotta win. I'm done winning arguments with all due respects in the niceties. It feels good, but we're gonna lose our republic. Yeah, honey, father's not live and die for this moment. I can't celebrate jail like fourth the best of Roman Republican, Greek democracy, coequal branches, co equal branches of government, you know, popular sovereignty, the rule of law, not at the time where it's the rule of don. And if it hasn't dawned on you. I remember with spending ninety minutes with Trump in the Oval office, and I think he honestly thought everything was his. He was showing me the declaration, his declaration. It's a prize. Why els a corruption story happening on our watch? All those presidents you played earlier about the two hundred and fifty years. He can't even he can't even celebrate your laugh arth. He's one of those guys that has been around now long enough that I honestly think people aren't like I've seen enough celebrities say dude, he's a joke, Like he's he's not even relevant anymore. And I honestly, I do think he's becoming irrelevant on the national stage. I honestly think he's going to be the one going against j d Oh, I don't. I don't think he even gets out of a primary. Oh really, yeah, this dude, this dude is I know, I got to do that. He's got to do that. He's not Biden. Yeah, you you forget who propped up Biden. I mean he had his well know, Biden has survived for years and years just saying whatever. That's exactly what this dude does. He had the Clyburn, he had that. That dude ain't getting that. I'm on one, that's Boodhage edge. He's got to get more talented than that. This is whatever he's got to say. He's got to go to those primaries and actually sell that to New Hampshire. So the reason I think it will be him unless Kamala, it's gonna be word. It's gonna be word salad versus word salad. I think you're you're looking at the governor of Maryland, maybe the governor of Penncil being they killed them in a primary. I don't think the Dems will let more rational people in. I think that they're so in love with this wackoseness that they'll have the wackos lead them. Right, still early, what are we in twenty twenty six now, so it won't be long we'll start talking about the next one. Well, I mean, when's the last time they've had an actual primary though? Yeah? Right, because let's not forget the last time that they legitimately had a primary. The winner was Hillary, right, am I off? Yeah, and even then it was they tricked Barrus Anders to get out correct or coerced Barius Anders to get out, right, I mean, she lost, and yet so that had to be Obama would be the last one that actually won something for real, correct, Yeah? And you got so Donna Brazil given Hillary all the questions before that started a debate. Yeah. Wow, that is hard to believe that that was the last real primary. Yeah, that they had. I mean, let's not call that one. You're right, it was because Biden was losing. Yeah, and then Cliburne changed it. You know, they just handpicked the powers to be handpicked democracy. Yeah, that's the will of the people. That was the will of the people. Old Obama out there talking, he's just a he's better at the word salad. But it's just just a fluff. So the Uh, the primary election is June second for the LA mayor race, and then the election is. No, okay, so we got to live a whole summer and fall of the whole Bass versus of the guy. I guess there that's that's the favorite all And now the is the governor not going to be too Republicans. It is going to be Amocrat and a Republican. I guess we won't know until the actual primary, right, I guess I don't. I don't know enough about it. I can't stand the runoff crap. Yeah, just take whoever won the most votes, right, Georgia's going to another runoff. Got to make sure, got to make sure it's fifty percent. Why why don't we make sure we start with three? That's just like a Texas And thank god, I mean I am so happy that Trump jumped in for Paxton. Yeah. I know all the stuff that they're going to say, the controversies or whatever. Have you seen the Democrat that they're getting ready to run? Yeah, but what I love about that one is they had I guess that's a runoff, right, Well, I mean he beat him the first time. Yeah, so I think Conan won. But it was like forty points. Yeah, it was forty point seven to forty point two. I mean it was within a one point. But Wesley Hunt had twelve or thirteen points. Yeah, so that's why. I mean they were amist equal. So in this case, I could see why you would do a runoff. Yeah, but Wesley Hunt ran. Why didn't they just have two? I don't understand that in the first place. But now they got to run against one another with just the two to get fifty point one percent. Well, I think you'll I think Paxson will win. And that's within a week, right, that's a week away. Yeah. So do you know what, have you ever bought anything off Timu? No? I knew Emma wife would know better than It's like, but is Timu like the TikTok buy something or what is it? It's like, you know, Sian, it's like made in China. Okay, it's just really cheap, okay, bad quality things. So they call this guy Timu Obama. So he's like the cheap version of Obama. Here we go, the off brand of Obama. Yeah, so let's hear. Let's hear how he is going to destroy the Republicans with his efforts cut thirty. It's part of how we as House Democrats view this moment. Either MAGA extremists are going to break country or we're gonna break them, and our goal is to break them. We will defeat them. We have to beat them electorally, and then we have to break their spirit because of the extremism that's being unleased in the American people. That's completely and totally unacceptable. What extremism have we been doing? Any idea? It's like trying to bring prices down where we can. Do you think any Democrats? I mean, come on, if you were if you were legitimately honest with yourself and you are a Democrat, do you look at Corey Booker and that guy right there and think those are my leaders? Thank god we have them running? They do you think so they support? They have to hate it, just like we hated Mitch McConnell. We literally just hated Mitch McConnell. We couldn't wait for that guy to be gone. We called h turtle for the last six years. Listen, Trent, I'm just I'm giving it to you the way I see it when I watch TikTok. And one of my favorite preachers is a guy with Lily Grove Baptist Church in Texas. Right, the dude preaches against thuggery and all this other stuff and legitimately says every week abortions are killing the black population. And he preaches against all of that stuff, and yet stood there and supported Kamala. How do you do it? I don't know. I get it, I know, but I just think they're so bad. I know, but they get re elected. I know they get relected in their district. But I'm just thinking, if I was somewhere in the country. Let's just say I'm in Oklahoma and I see that that's who's the head of my Democrats, and he's getting up there all the time, how can you think that, Oh, yeah, that's my guy. It's the most unpatriotic guys ever. Yes, they don't love this country. Okay, this is what I love the most about social media. I'm going to show you this clip, and I guarantee you. I know you're in the news more than I am, so you probably do know it. So I'm not going to say guarantee you, but I guarantee ninety percent of the people that are listening to us do not know this story at all. And thank god for social media. Cut forty seven. I'm going to docks myself as a moving But I've lived near Meridian Hill Park in DC for almost two years now, and the water's never been in the pond there. This has never happened before. I was always too afraid to come here because of the homeless people. But they're all gone, and it seriously looks like Paris. I mean, I've never seen this many people out here. I mean, look, everyone is enjoying it. A year ago, Trump said he was going to clean out. DC and he did. It is clean, it's calm. It's quiet, except for the Chipotle down in Navy Yard apparently this weekend. But I wasn't there for that. The homeless are out, the birds are chirping, the water is in the ponds, the fountains are working. Thank you, mister. This is the benefit of having a construction man. As your president. I agree, dude. When she was saying people are enjoying it. From my angle, I probably can't see it, but I remember seeing the clip from your angle. You probably saw the girl is a blue haired, purple hair outside and the other guy has the gauge ear rings and all that, and they're taking a selfie in front of the fountain. Yes, that's working. That's working. Do you think they think it all? Thank god Trump did this for No? Did they look scared for their life? Right? She said she wouldn't even come down to that part. It's crazy. Is a hanging like a hanging? Like a loose like gingers and the ice tray? Caroline came make a note. Must have paid her phone bill. I think it was a storm that wiped us out last week? Yeah? Did you how do we know he's here? Did you not get through all your clips on? Kevin? What do you hang up on? Before there? You go? Who? She will cut you off? You gotta be careful how you and Oh I did cut you off? I mean I did. I'm sorry. I thought I accepted it. Next next week we'll have some improvement. Everything will be good next week. You know what, It's just Kevin and I. Today. Emma has been mean to us, Kevin. She's been actually the opposite. Oh no, people listen, they know that I'm tooty. You've been tooty all day. Do you know who who's tut? Tuty was on Facts of Life's logan's middle name? All Right, Kevin, how much how much are we getting? Hello? How many? How much train are we getting? Tree? How much train are we getting? Three and a half inches? Three and a half inches would equate to let's see, six inches for every inch, so a foot and a half two feet you would give us two feet of water back in Smith Mountain Lake and we're down five feet, So let's hope for it quiet time lake, Norman's Lake Norman's down to, isn't it. All of them? Yeah? So are we going to get back with? Because I hear it's supposed to rain for like two weeks. You have a chance of rain for two weeks. It's not gonna be raining every day all day for two weeks. All right, Well, tell us you have to talk to these three and a half inches. Well, three and a half inches. If you have ten days of it raining, you could have a downboard where you could pick up a half inch in less than an hour in some thunderstorm. All right, Before you answer this question, I want to get a show of hands here at the studio. Who thinks Kevin has a rain gauge? I bet he has like ten seventy chance he has one. He's like a. Quarter of them. Do you think he's got multiple rain gauges or just one? Just one. I'm gonna say he's got multiple. How many rain gauges? Do you have a rain gauge? Kevin? Zero? What shocker? They get diepity dap and it don't know what's happening. I gotta ask rain drops on thew All you got to do is put in your address and you can see your house and touch it. They tell you how much rain it rains. Oh, that's cool, So you kind of do have one, It's just not a physical one. Hey, let me ask you this question. What do you name a dog with no legs? It don't matter. Shut the tail off, throw them in the water and they become Bob. Well. I heard that one today. I thought it was pretty good one. I thought of Kevin when I heard it today because I was like, that's the kind of damn joke I get at the end of Carolina Kevin that makes me cackle. What was if I had a party and I invited y'all to it? What would you bring? Start with the first letter of your first name. Mm hmm. My name is Trent, So I would bring tuna, fish, tuna steaks. I bring you some tuna steaks. I thought maybe you would say tacos, tacos. I could bring tacos. I'm bringing BARBIEQ. Emma, will you bring. To what? Macaroni and cheese patilla sling. Oh my god, this is why, Emma with difficult I'm thinking lobster tales. Fancy. It has to start with your first letter of your first name. My name's logan Macaroni and cheese, sister anchiladas. I thought you were a that's a good one. Eels. I knew she was going to say eels for my sushi. I don't know. This has gotten out of control. Elongated pasta. I did not know where you're going. Elongated pasta. Isn't that what it's called? Idea? What you're doing? It's the long Kevin, What were you bringing? Is it not called elongated pasta? Hey? Mm HMMs okay, a tag. That's a good idea. Got to drink something I could bring tea m m, good idea, logan. I still can't believe it. Emma did not just just went straight on top of her. I was going through socially. She's reading William F. Buckley or something. No, I was going through your tiktoks. What do you think of the All Star Race, Carolina Kevin. Oh, it was all right. H Bell ended up moving it. What do you think is the recipe? What do they need to do to make it? They'll probably end up moving it back to Charlotte, I would hope, so they're not keep it at Over because it was just it was okay, but they had too many wrecks there in the beginning to knock a lot of drivers out. Good driver and I just think that the feedback is going to be so much that Bill end up influence some enough to change and go somewhere different. Do they put it on a different part of the calendar or do you do the All Star Race that kind of. I think you still have it like during the middle of the season, and but I still think they need to go back, which they are leaning that away. You know, we've seen a lot of changes leaning back the way it. Will used to be. Yes, but one of the biggest ones is they needed to bring back the fire firecracker four hundred down in Daytona on July the fourth weekend. Amen. Yes, Amen. Although this year I'm happy with with with what they're doing. I'm it's not Chicago or is it the one in San Diego? San Diego, So they're on a military base. Yeah, that's kind of cool. That is this year kind of cool. But you know, there's just a lot of races that they're gonna try to I guess go back to the old theme of things like it used to be, because it's just it's gotten so politicized that it's more of a marketing event to go to these places to get try to get these new people to come when you still have a fan base that can pack of a racetrack if you appeal to their old school way and it doesn't take much to manipulate that. So ye, I agree. I look at I look at Darlington and the stands are packed every time they go to Darlington. And it wasn't that long ago that Darlington lost its races. Do you remember that? Yeah? And so I yep, absolutely, I think that the old school tracks. Now. I know Trent's probably not a fan of Rockingham, right right, Oh, that seems okay. It's for sale, so I don't know if it's going to come back or not, but. Yeah, I agree, it would be you can what if they had I tell you it would be cool if they had All Star Race or the firecrack of four hundred and Talladegon, because you know, Talladega on seat the forty thousand people even though it's the biggest track on the circuit. Like Bristol has one hundred and thirty thousand feet, uh, Talladegon has forty. So yeah, but it has had the stands, but I bet it has ninety in the friggin infield. I don't know. You don't have to look it up, but I just know that they've got very limited But I mean, I'm punking about a July the four weekend in Talladega. Can you imagine that weekend July the fourth Talladega was all the people in the infield and fireworks and stuff, and it would be bigger than any other race during the year. If you had that in Talladega period, Yeah, it would. Or if you had the All Star Race there, it would totally change stuff up under the lights and all. What if you had the All Star racing Atlanta at night as good as as good as that track is racing right now? You know what I mean? You got Yeah, you got to give people if they're gonna be willing to take a family that you normally they would save their money up and go on vacation at the Beats for a week or something like. You got to understand the fan base of NASCAR. They've got a lot of families that actually saved their money up. Their vacation is going to the race track and spending time camping out and having a good time. So I agree, but I will say this, I don't think that's what the All Star needs to be. It doesn't need to be another race. I mean that's then just to add another race to the circuit. The All Star Race needs to be different, and it doesn't need to be for the the fan that goes to races anyway. It should be a different event. Well, you can make it that a way. I mean you need the. Casual fan that doesn't want to sit through five hundred miles. I mean they want what they had at Charlotte was perfect. It was a great race. It was fun. We looked forward to it every year. Well, who will find out who was the up for? Who changed it? Let be Brian friends, don't imagine always somebody tinkering. Yeah, let's uh, let's get to our picks this week. Who's your Coca Cola six under pick Okeavin. I'm gonna have my man Briscoe. Then I'm gonna have Kes Lawski. Now I'm gonna have Christopher Bell. All right, what about you? Brian? I got Kyle Busch, Chris Busher, Me Buscher and. Man, I'm really hoping this is the breakout William Byron. Cool. My money was also William Byron, Brian Blaney and I'm going for my long shot this week is Josh Berry. Wow, dude, that is the one thing about the Coccola six hundred. Sometimes it's just attrition. Yeah, like who can who can last longest? And just out? Now, who's your in the five hundred? Pick? I got mine? Ready? All right? You got? I'm gonna go with Alexander Rossi. Alex Although Rossi? Is he out of the hospital? Oh? I don't even know what does it get? Did he wreck? Yeah? Wow, it was a nasty crash. Practice. Well, you better pick somebody else, and what if he's hurt? I'm looking it up. Now, do you have one? Kevin says he plans to raise who did Brian pick? He said, uh, Alexander Rossi. Oh, I'm gonna pick alex blu. Yeah, oh boy, you would. I don't limb that'd be a two time winner. He won it last year. What hasn't he won? Yeah, he's good. And I. Took I just want, man, I just want so badly aj Ford to win again. So I took that uh Santina for Oh that guy's pretty cool. I love his car. I want Connor Daily to win it. Yeah. That Pado Award deserves to win it. He is getting second place. It's so close he gets there. Yeah is oh kesher Nevis is in it. Yeah, hello, be great if he could win again. He says his car is good. Did uh oh Catherine Leggy made the race. Yeah, but you I'm just listen. I'm gonna be pissed if she goes out there and races ten laps and then flies to Charlotte and races ten laps. That's not doing both races. Well, yeah it is. I mean Kevin uh Larson did it last year. Larson raced to win. He didn't just start in both races to say he was in both races. All right, So I'm picking this guy just because of the name. Also, it's not Leggy, but go ahead, Sting Ray Rob. I like Stingray. I like that name. So you know Michael Schumacher, that shoemaker guy that got kicked out of a Mick. Mick Schumacher says he's done. He's done really well. Yeah, yeah, Roman has not. I love the race day on Sunday, the five hundred. Yeah, but freaking f one screwed it up this year. F I'm going Canadian stupid. Nobody's watching that race. It's supposed to be in Monte Carlo. Who did Kevin? Who'd you pick this weekend? Oh? Has been forever? M hm, yep, And I guess, I guess what you call it? He ain't gonna be doing both races this year, right, carl. No, Larson is not, but Leggy is. She's gonna be the first woman to do both. What I just say again, starting races doesn't mean anything. Well, and somebody has to break the glass ceiling. Danica if she had, because she would have won, like what was she third one time at the Indy and then fly down to Charlotte. Yes, that's a real racer. Tell me, I am not blowing smoke when I say Danny Kapatrick is hotter today than she was as a race car. Driver. She's one thousand percent hotter today. Yes, I love seeing her duties broadcasts. Is she on the Amazon broadcast? I wonder. I don't know. Amazon's now taking over NASCAR for the next five races. Oh okay, by the way, I did what you said, and it was absolutely enjoyable listening to MRN Racing. You got to tell me how to do that. I want to do that. So what do you have? Literally, what you have to do is once you hit play on your phone, because that's what I did. I just listened to MRN on my phone. Okay, and then so, uh one was faster than that. I can't remember, so I just pause. Yeh, the TV was faster, So I paused it until they said they're entering the restart zone and then I hit play and then I was perfect in sync. And they should have a channel that you could watch the race from m RN. Now, I like, you watch Monday night football and you got Troy Yate Mines or you've got Peyton Manning, and do one gives me? That would be so good. I don't have to listen to the guys in drama and all that. Just you do the race. Listening to Mike Bagley and the postman Steve Postman down in the pits. I mean, all of that stuff is they're so good at what they do. Yeah, all right, Kevin. She's tapping her foot. Who's tapping her foot? She always taps when she's ready to go. Mmmm. Well she might be fitting the last quote of the day. As we used to have pretty women and hard working men. Now we've got pretty men and hard working women. Old times and things. Possible. You're a little tat tat. No trench is a little rat tat tat. She needs a vacation. I did with you guys all the time. Yeah, yes, what what? Guess what what Kevin. Into today? Goodbye? Later he said, Batham, do you want to go back to have at it? Cut forty eight. Listen to this news coverage of the reflecting pool from twenty twelve. You need to take pictures of in downtown Washington, d C. The Lincoln Memorial, the World War Two Memorial, and then there's this folks snapping photos of the reflecting pool. It's really sludgy of this end and what's in it. It's disgusting. It doesn't it's not right. Algae like smells like wet dog down here. You know, when my dog came home from the stream, you always smell like this, and it's gross. The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool reopened at the end of August to great fanfare after a thirty four million dollar renovation that lasted nearly two years. But less than a month later, the famous pool of water is full of algae. Algae are simple organisms that thrive in areas where there is heat in sunlight. You have plenty of that here. The water may not look great, but it doesn't cause a health or safety hazard. It's really just the yuck factor. If it's sunny, if it's really warm, it will rise to the top. So on some days, depending on the weather, you will see algae at the top and it looks like small islands of algae. But why has algae suddenly become a problem. The reflecting Pool was renovated to fix cracks and leaks, but it also included installing a system to draw water from the nearby tidle basin into the pool instead of using city drinking water. Algae naturally grows in the tidal basin. Plus, the renovated pool holds less water. That shallow depth is a perfect condition for algae to grow. A bit of an embarrassment for the Park Service. It's really a shame that they hadn't planned out was a little bit better, so you wouldn't have algae growing after all this time and money spent. The reflecting pool two years is not reflecting nasty much of anything, Lisa. Okay, what name was out of Obama? Obama's name was not mentioned in any of that. Do you think they would let Trump if that blue pool after one month and thirteen million dollars in six months of construction where he fixes the pipes and the chlorine and all that that he's doing. Yep, if there was an algae growth, which, by the way, shallow water, stagnant water grows algae. So do you think they would do that story and not mention Trump? Oh no, it's bogus. Man. What Republican organization was suing to stop them from doing the construction in twenty twelve? How about none? Oh? Thank you? Yeah, I was wondering who would have stopped that? Of course? Not no, exactly, all right, Yes, end of show. This is graduate season. Yes, this is a clip, small clip of the best graduation speech I've ever heard. Eric Church this is Eric Church at North Carolina. You wouldn't see so Emma, enjoy all thanks your vacation, come back less tuty Logan. Are you prepared? So if we're not on air next week, it's because Emma didn't teach him properly. I hit the most important thing. Make sure you're going live. You know what she's doing. Everybody loves Raymond. Do you remember when the mom tried to teach her to cook and she changed the labels? Absolutely definitely happened. All right, we will see you next week. Enjoy, Eric Church. Congratulations to all of the graduates, but everywhere and look us up on YouTube. Go to YouTube and search at ll H Underscore Podcast. We want to be up to one seventy five at least, we want. To be the two hundred when I get back. Hey, hand out cards while you're at outer banks. Put them in all the restaurants down there. All right, see you next week. Commencement speaker, Eric. Church, if you'll indulge me, I want to start with a sound. You know this sound. It's a guitar that's out of tune, something that almost gets there, that tries but doesn't, and some ancient honest part of your brain knows it immediately. You don't need training to hear it. You just know that sound is the sound of something beautiful that has not been has not been tended to six strings. When all six are in tune, the chords they make can stop a conversation cold, carry a broken person through the worst night of their life, or make a room full of strangers feel for three minutes like they've known each other forever. But if even one is off, the whole chord unravels, not gradually, not politely, the moment you strike it. You know, I believe your life runs on this principle, and I'm going to break it down for you right now and tell you about your strings. Okay, String one, the low e, that is your foundation. The low e is the thickest string, It is the heaviest. Every chord a guitar can make rest on this string being in tune. Your faith is the low e of your life. That sits at the. Very bottom of you, your belief about what this life is, for what you owe, what holds the universe together. When science reaches the edge of its own explanation and shrugs, the people who tend to their faith in ordinary seasons do not come undone in extraordinary ones. They still hurt, They still sit in hospital waiting rooms asking unanswerable questions at three in the morning, but they have a foundation to return to. The world. Will try to untune this strength. Through busyness, through slow accumulation of a full schedule, a full inbox, a full life. Listen to me, Tend to your faith, not just when you're broken, but when you're whole. String too, String too is family. Okay, look out at these bleachers. Look around. Somewhere in that crowd is someone who has loved you longer than you've been easy to love. Someone who saw you at. Your actual worst, not your public facing worst, and didn't leave you. Someone who worked a job they didn't love to put a book in your hands you sometimes didn't open. Someone who sat alone in a quiet house and cried the weekend you moved into dorms and wondered have I done enough? That is family and the A string is where the music starts to get warm. It gives a chord, its body, its richness. It's a string that makes you feel like you're not alone in a room. I want to warn you about something you're about to get busy in ways that feel important in many are professionally ambitious, creatively alive, building the life. You've been pointed toward for four years. And family, because they love you with a grace you will spend most of your life trying to deserve. Will rarely demand your time. They'll tell you they understand, and they'll mean it. Do not take them up on it. Call your people, not when there's news, not when there's nothing, Show up when it cost you something. Let them see you when things are hard. The A string is not a holiday string. It's an everyday string. Protect it, m
