Dude when it was on that dude, can it was on Belting Yeah, definitely. I don't mean to say it was slow, I know what you mean. Yeah, So we got a lot to get to today in the show. A little later on we will have our mount rushmore work. Yeah, which for those of you who are listening live, you can certainly comment on the live page, right, Yeah, comment on live page your favorite travel snacks. That was a good one. Yeah, you surprised me sometimes when you come up with some good ones, you know, just things like you're heading to the beach man, what are you now backing and jumping into sheets? What am I grabbing on the way down the road so or why why? Yeah, I haven't been to it yet in Lunchberg. Oh it's very nice. I do like A first one I ever went to was Fredericksburg. Gosh, it was a long long time ago. Yeah, I've been in wah wahs before, but there's not the new ones. They're making their way here. But eventually, I mean, I try to think back, like when we were younger, Right, we didn't have a sheets, we didn't have a wah wah, none of that stuff existed. However, there were still convenience stores. Yeah, and I'm trying to think what brand names they were or were they just. We just called them Exxon's and Texicos. They didn't really have names Clean Clean, Jeffy quick quick Clean, Quick Trip. It was in Madison Heights. Was the first time I seen people name it. And then Apple Market came through and made all their Apple markets anyway, Quick Quickie, the ones that Quickie foods. Yeah, yeah, that was a kind of a chain. Yeah, I think QT quick Trip was ye, but then they all kind of cycled out and then you got. The and now you got the BUCkies. Yeah, BUCkies. Hey, we should do a mount rush for convenience store I do miss the old days of the gasoline like an exon a shell. And there was Texico Mobilexico was awesome. Man had a black with a red star YEP mobile. Yeah, they were BP. Yeah, it was neat those old gas stations. Phillips what was the seventy. Six, Phillips sixty six? I think Phillips there was a union seventy six. Yeah, and then Sonoko's Sonoka Phillips sixty six something. Hey, you know off of twenty nine there used to be turpins. Racing fuel? What do people buy racing fuel? Raising fuel store? Honestly, I'm asking a serious question. But by raising. Fuel we should ask probably should Cody, where what's the nice we have a driver? How do you not know it's freaking name. It's not Corey or Cody, it's Corey done. Holy crap? Well if he won more, JK, love me some, Cory. You just get so angry. It helps enhance the mistakes. If that's the case, it's a hypersoncidive s think of it. We'll talk a little bit later about this. Yeah, but the Big Rock highly disappointed in you about what. Oh I understand one thousand percent. Yes, it is a wonderful week to have a condo for rent. Yeah, but it also is a wonderful place to be able to go every single year to watch a Big Rock tournament. Yeah. See, if we can't make that happen in the future. Well maybe when we retire we have nothing else to do. But guys, I mean, damn, Brian, I was just on the phone right before the show started. I'm working, well, quit, I ain't got time to be down there watching people other people fish. Dude, I eat up with it. And this year yeah, incredible. Yeah, it has by far been the best year I think ever in big rock history. And just for those of you who are curious who do watch the Big Rock Tournament, there will be weighing one in and around five point fifteen in a few minutes. Oh wow. So for those that don't know, the Big Rock Tournament's down in Beaufort Moorhead City, North Carolina. It's all up and down North Carolina, really the coastline. But people catch blue marlin and they bring them in and they weigh them into the city and the crowd that is around the boats when they come in is your word, phenomenal. But they're packed. And then people know that they are big ones coming. So people go that gather down there to go watch them weigh it in and it's like a rock event. Yeah. I love now. It's since we started paying really attention to it, it's gotten bigger every year. What I love now is the camera angles they've got above like drone. Yeah, like it's it's a big deal. Yeah, and now you can see just how massive the crowd is. Before it used to be pretty much there. Now it's got way. Yeah, it looks like a rock event. Yeah, it's crazy. But what's really cool too is for those that don't know, these are not just a fishing tournament like your regular bass fishing tournament. These are persons that are the one that could win. The nine hundred and nineteen pound record is a six million dollar fish. Correct, the literally the captain's going to get six million dollars and whoever it helped him invest and their fees and to enter the event must be phenomen must be huge. I think I heard that it was one thousand dollars per category. If I'm not mistaken. Maybe, oh I'm betters more than that. Maybe it was more than that. But so Marty and I have been down there for the Lady Big Rock, which is the weekend before. And she and I got up and just sat on the deck and we didn't know what weekend. We just happened to take a weekend. And I've never seen so many boats in my entire life leaving at six am, and they did that zipper thing where one boat goes in front of the other, just like you do in traffic, and they're all heading out to the ocean. It was the coolest thing, man. It's incredible. Yeah, we'll talk a little bit more in depth about it later. Good because I've got. I haven't seen an agenda. I got some serious stuff to talk about. So this is a lighthearted show. You said you got you're gonna talk seriously. Oh well serious, moving on backwards and hoards. All right, this past weekend we had a river weekend. Yeah, all went well. I would say we did some bathroom renovations. Uh, some gardening. Got our knees dirty, Actually I didn't. You guys go down early on Friday and you get everything done in the garden. I just planted wildflowers. Uncle Perry was listen. It was hot when we first got down there, and your brother was like, you know, like he was going to wait till the early morning to do it. And then I walk outside and he's got a straw hat on, no shirt, and I'm like, oh, it's on now, my brother. Yeah, And I think it was Uncle Perry that got him moving because Uncle Perry went out there first. Oh, Brack couldn't let him do it. Yes, And so by the way, before I go to FO, I'm sporting my Woody. Did you notice that sasquatch shirt? So I wore a shirt for Woody. It's a sasquash. It is the. Hide and Seek champion sporting your Woody shirt? Jesus, and know what you said? Yes, I'll just use your same joke. Anyway, we had a great weekend. Yeah, we got way a lot accomplished. I asked you when we went to go to the hardware store, because inevitably there's always something that you need a tool, and that's place is three hours from home. So Brad, to his credit, thinks of all the things that he could possibly need right and leave them. But yes, but when we headed to the hardware store that morning because it closes at noon, I asked you, God, how much long? How long do you think this is gonna take and damn you nailed it. It's like five, you were like four five o'clock. I thought we were just going to do parts, and I thought we were going to do things in increments. Yeah, like I think we were because your brother even said yeah, he just pointed to the floor, and I was like, yep, might as well just get the rest of it done. Yeah, because we were there, I mean, things were moving along swell. Everything looked sparkly and new. Though, oh it looks so good, so good, Yeah it was. I mean, I mean, well, y'all do I mean just when you do work up there and just make sure it's right. Well, what I love about it is on the way home we kind of debrief me and your brother. Yeah, and I said, man, do you realize we did a trip and never made it to the salt box. I never even thought about that, And he went, man, I didn't. I didn't go to the uh, check my cameras. Nothing. Yeah, just work. There was a lot of stuff we didn't get that we normally would, but the other important stuff got done, which was phenomenal. Well, I think the best part was you talking them into quit working and just jumping the truck unless right around. Yeah, and we went to a part of the county I haven't been to in forty years. And the ball so much fun. It was fun just hanging out, so gorgeous like everything. It's every turn beautiful. The amount of deer. Yeah, and the rabbits could not believe how many deer we saw. Yeah, your estimate was way off. I don't remember giving an estimate fifty five the hell we passed that on driving through. Anyway, great weekend, So coming up this weekend, Yeah, we've got the wor the UFC White House. He been God, I forgot about that. Yeahs average. Huh when's the coverage start of that? That's a good question. I don't know the answer. I asked staff. While you're and then I might slip up to Pulaski to catch the races. Yep. I like to go see a win. We should be on new tires this week. But if you're going up there to watch the race, you're going to miss the UFC event. That's what phones are for. They're wonderful. Oh okay, Trent, Yeah, what time is the main event's gonna come on? Uh? You know what, it doesn't even have what time any of the events are. Okay. Alright, So I'm just telling you on ESPN as I'm looking now. I'm reading us literally right in front of you, seven about main cards. Starts at eight o'clock. So yeah, you're gonna see Gaichie what midnight? Yes? And to Puria, that's gonna be a great fight. Yes, dude, if you're picking fights, Gichie absolutely is number one on your list, right. I don't know Alex Perreira, no, I mean for entertainment purposes, sure, who's better than Geigee entertainment wise? Yeah, he ain't gonna hide. No, I would put Perreira right there to having both of them and actually shining him out. I mean that this ticket is really good. Oh yeah, I would love if Derek Leu's Derek Lewis kills Josh Hockett. You just can't stand that mouth that Josh Hockett has, which I like promoters, I like that, but he's usually so dumb and it's such a stick. You know, it's a stick that he's doing it. But Derek Lewis, last time, the last time I watched him fight, he mailed it in And the only reason he's on this card, do you know why he's Trump loves him. Yeah, Trump said, called Dana and said, why isn't Derek Lewis on this card? That's great? How great is that? All right? So watch that guy? So you've got You did a pool day as well on Sunday. Yep, got my floating and went all the way in the pool. No, no, just uh, I'm getting to wear my age or whatever. I just like hanging out at the pool if it's hot and just standing in the water and just be yes and listen to music. We're good. I don't need to go do things anymore, all right, Yep, moving on on, yep, oh no, no, you've got. I got a So we did the depool day and then this weekend. So Wood is going to get to do I don't know if you remember when offended this two years ago, but Wood is going to go on their Grand Western Tour. And if you don't know what that is, it's a bucket list every day for six weeks, or at least middle of July, so a month he goes to stuff like the Saint Louis arch and Wrigley Field, Mount Jackson, Wyoming, Yosemite, horseback riding, Seattle, the Space Needle, San Francisco Bridge, all those things that, and it's different every year. It's not the exact same thing. And so in the Grand Canyon they make a circle all the way around and every day they get back on the bus and they're going to a hotel that night, but usually they stay a day or two whitewater rafting, you. Know, the Colorado River. So the chaperons this thing. So it's adults and volunteers. Wow. Yeah, and the same people have been doing it for years and years. Yeah. Two buses. I don't know if it's one for girls one for boys. They do intermix on the buses, and they intermix at the sites, but they don't intermix at the hotels. And if you do intermix, you're out wood. We'll come home early, they get wood yep, be a good boy, all right, Yeah, moving on this stay in history and this day in history. All right? I got the Six Day War, huh between Israel and Arab nations. Yeah, it ended in nineteen sixty seven. Israel destroyed its targets and expanded its territory to include the Old City of Jerusalem. Do you know what I know a little bit about that is my dad was in the Marines right and through joint missions or whatever. He knew about that war. And somebody that he was in the military with we were at like a picnic event, and that guy said when he walked across the sand in a field where the Israelis were on one side and I guess Lebanon was on the other, Yeah, where they were shooting, he said, you couldn't walk because of all the wires that were on the sand from the missiles that were being launched. Because today we think it's foolish. Every missile was just a guided missile and has all this technology on it to go where it goes. But back in the day, there was a wire behind it. There was literally a wire to help steer it. And they shot so many of those missiles that the wires were in the sand that it was like trip pazards. It's hard to walk across the ground. It was so many of them shot. Good lord, yeah, crazy, you won't mine. Yeah. Nineteen thirty five, Alcoholics Anonymous was founded aa AA Bill Wilson and doctor Bob Smith in Akron, Ohio's. It's funny, but it's not funny. I know. Two or three people that personally have gone through AA and swear by it. And I know two or three people who say it is awful. So it's funny how it works for some and doesn't for others. Yeah, so I know a little bit about it, but it's certainly a program that helps tremendously those that have needed it. So and you're right, not everything works for everybody, and some people couldn't couldn't handle doing that that way. Yep. And this day in history, I forgot to put it on your agenda. Seventy six years ago me mall was born. Oh, happy birthday. Mean all, yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, hopefully you get a steak tonight. You're such an idiot. I mean literally, I'm going to go across this table and just punch you. Well, you so dumb just saying no, no, you are all right, moving on, I mean you're. Okay, Yeah, all right, dude, I'm telling you right now, Okay. I am fascinated with Clarkson form. Yes, for so many things, so many reasons. It's entertaining, but dude, the information is so spot on in phenomenal. Yeah, and I know you probably don't appreciate it as much as I do. Maybe I don't know I think if you watched it you would, especially with your business. What you're in. This sort of while farming is not your civil side. Is, it's still plots of land and development. But dude, So he took a trip this year where he took Caleb, who's the young farmer that basically runs his farm for him. So he took that dude's never been out of his town like other than the short trip to London I think once. So he takes him to Denmark. I think dude, they went. They first started like a tractor show. It was stupid, crazy tractors. The technology is just ridiculous, but they they then they go to a farm where it's a fairly young dude and I think he said, seventh generation, seventh generation farmer, and he figured out, he said, this is where you can kind of see the gear shift for how many decades farming was done. Just farming. I mean that's what you do. Yeah, technology might, but this is Homie looks at his land and goes, I'm getting seventy thousand potatoes out of this field. I'm getting ninety out of this field. Why so now he takes sonar and does his fields and determines what deficiencies are in the field. And then the drone. Wow, you know, basically only fertilizes in exactly what it needs. Wow. So he's he's killed so many birds with one stone just by doing technology, right. And that was one farm. But then they went to another where it was in a city. Imagine this a farm in a city where it was like two acres and he had cattle grazing in two acres of green grass. And then they go on this little walkway up to a platform that's over on a They called it a sea, but I guess it's some sort of a body of water. Okay, Well, the cows would just go in there and the machines would hook up and start milking them like they just went whenever they wanted to go. And then but it was so what I'm saying is that they used everything. So this was a floating barge that the cows would go in milk themselves, and then one floor below that they would basically capture all the manure and everything, and they used it. And I don't know how this works, and you may, but they would they would pump sea water into this area and they used the cow poop on top of these lines not not. I mean you had copper lines, and the heat from the cow poop sometimes declinated. How do you when you take salt out of the water. It would do that and then they would drink the water. Oh my god, I don't know if I'd trust that. And then was the first one that tried that one. It was amazing just watching this whole process. The next floor down was below the sea level was the cheese. Because they didn't need to refrigerate. It was below sea level, so the the area stayed cold. And I'm like, well, dude, figured it out. And so because it's only two acres, obviously you got a more than grass to feed. He got used bread and everything from the city. And I said, this is what I love is entrepreneurs right that figure this out. It's not for everybody. It works for him in that environment it and it's genius. I just hate when everybody goes, oh, we should be doing this everywhere. No, we shouldn't. Yeah, And it's just it's so many interesting things like that. What's crazy about it is Jeremy thinks I'm gonna do it, and then he wastes money because he doesn't know what he's doing. Oh but I love the show. It's so informative and so funny. You remind me I got I've gotten three cucumbers, a zucchini, and I'm really disappointed in my crook. Next squash, it came out the size of my thumb. Good lord, two thumbs. I know it should read the package where it was miniature. Yeah, exactly, I did something dumb. I guarantee you I read. I did something dumb like that. You have a garden, yeah, at your huts, I end of the deck. Oh what do you have? I have red, yellow, and green peppers. I haven't got a pepper to grow yet. Jalapeners did I think those grow? Those grow a lot quicker. And then I have green beans squashed and zucchini. Very good? Nice? Is the garden bigger than your home? Yes? No, I haven't a raised garden beds nice. That's kind of what I did too. And I went and got the wood for it, and then got manure and soiled put it down, and I just started planting. Good for you, because those are like all the vegetables I use on a weekly basis. So I was like, so you cook a lot? Yeah, okay, I got to feed myself. You cook for father David. I did Monday. My oven apparently does not work. Found that out in my tiny house, I had everything, well, I didn't use it since I moved in and I had everything. I had my broccoli, carrots and a pan. But potatoes were on a pan ready to go in the oven. But haven't you lived there for weeks and nights a month? Oh that's cute. Yeah, I haven't needed it yet because I don't cook a lot of sheep pants. Usually I just do it on top of this stuff. Yeah, but then I made a stir surf right on top of stuff too cool? Uh, friends and neighbors. Yeah, finally done. I have not so let's not spoil it. But is it worth continuing? Yeah? I watched another season. Though it's not bad little I mean, if I had to use a word. Sometimes I don't like the show because some episodes seem far fetched. That one seemed a little far fetched, but not enough to make me not stop watching it. I mean that chick alone makes me want to watch it. The Pete, the one that last season got tried to kill her husband and ba yeah whatever her name is, Yes, that's uh, who's a man to Pete. She's the main character. That's the main character. I thought Olivia munt was the main character. Okay, I would have thought Olivia Munn was a main character, all right. But anyway, she's a smoking one, so I would watch even if it's. Just her and your wife. Before the show got me to remember, I watched the documentary. I remember the guy that I always say, I watched trade nesbitt On. I featured him on TikTok. Yes, he talked about another documentary that he watched, and I realized he's a real movie geek, like he likes the stories that make you think, and sometimes I don't want to think, right. And so this was called to Catch a Predator, And I bet you would love this because you watch Dateline NBC all the time, right, love it? Yes? Okay. In the two thousands there was a show called to Catch a Predator and the guy Chris Hansen, who hosted Dateline, would have these decoy people, you know, online predators. Yes, he would have them come to the house, oh wow, and they would greet the fourteen year old boy or girl that they thought they were meeting, which was not. It was just somebody that looked young, but was old enough, but they were like a decoy and the predator would come in the house and Chris Hansen would walk out and go, what are you doing? And then again they would just admit They would just admit it on air. But the point of the documentary was, was that really legal what you were doing? You know what I mean, if it's the police doing it, you have a right to remain silent. But when he was doing it, all these people are admitting guilt and they look guilty, and so the story was, is that a way to catch somebody? So it was I can see why somebody thinks that's a documentary. The problem was I felt so icky watching it. It was very hard for me to watch it. I couldn't watched the show. Stuff like that. Yeah, I couldn't have watched it. Now. Granted, one guy killed himself one of the predators on the show. Oh I could see that. Yeah, he killed himself on the show, and so you know, there was some drama to it or all. But anyway that was called to catch a predator, or maybe it was just called predator. It was okay, sounds good. Might have to watch it, all right? Moving on, moving on TDS News, headlines. This one I found interesting, Trent. Of course they did not spin it the way I would have thought. But ABC News Michigan Attorney General and Governor's Office condemns reversal of conviction related to Whitner's kidnapping plot. Do you remember that? Yeah, so early on when that happened, I said, something's not right about him. It was all we knew, we're seeing patriot boy bullshit. The same FBI guy that was involved with January sixth was involved in this, and it didn't matter because the guy got convicted. Right here we are, how many years later, this guy's conviction gets overturned and it's you know, how dare they let this awful person out? Of course? Instead of yeah, what really went on? Like I that's the part I don't like. Where is the journalism? Simple journalism? Just simple? I got one for you like that. It's I mean, this is like controversial to say on air, although I've heard other people say it. But the guy that was in Minnesota that killed the black guy that caused all the summer, Yes, okay, well he's in jail, the cop is in jail. But the actual technical reason the guy died was a phentonyl overdose or it was not asphyxiation. That's right, But yet it doesn't matter. Facts don't matter. The facts doesn't matter. This guy sitting in jail. Yeah, how do I now? I see stuff like this like the and I what's crazy is when I read the actual article. Of course they make it and they literally say conspiracy theorists believe. Yeah, okay, well it's not a conspiracy theory if the was just if his conviction was overturned, Yeah, why don't you do your job and tell us why the conviction was overturned? Of course you left all of that out of your article. Yeah, yeah, I got one like that today on have had it. It just god, man, it just infuriates me. You're lying. Did you watch the interview that Trump did with that Kristen Wilker or whatever his CBS lady or NBC He got up and walked out. Yeah, he had every right to get over to him and walk out. I'm tired of giving them. I mean, he's given you time and you literally aren't listening to him, and you're just trying with your own agenda. I'm so sick and tired of hearing people say when you question California's elections. Yeah, when you question it, yeah, they say without evidence, Yeah of course. Okay, what listen, I can sit here and close my eyes and say, well, there's no way Emma's there. She's not there. There's no proof she's there because I got my eyes closed, right, I mean, shut up, Actually drive out to California and do a little bit of investigating. First off, it's simple math. I don't know if you have this in your show. Do you have it in the show later? About this? The topic? Okay, it's simple math. I've just got the basic topic. But yeah, okay, I mean it's simple math. Yeah, I mean what he's telling her in that interview, and she says you have no evidence, Yes you do. The evidence is right in front of you. It's the numbers. It's the same as the twenty twenty election. Correct that goofball that sat in the basement all year long did not get eighty one million votes. Find out where the extra votes came from. I don't understand why we've never investigated that. And stop saying you're a denier. Right, go do the work. You know what, pay me, I'll go do the work. It can't be that hard. I can go to the counties and the cities where the numbers jumped and figure out where they came from. Now, and in this particular case, it's like blatantly worse. Yeah, because it's a three horse race. Yes, the first one is ahead, Yes, the one in second is right there beside him. The one in third somehow starts to get all the votes. So before the election d and on election day she cried the one that finished in third and conceded. Right. So now the mail ins start before the election day they had mail in voting. The track is exactly the same as the day of election. Bass wins, Pratt is second, and this woman is a distance third, distant third. How is it that after the election day that the mail ins can flip flop? Bass is getting beat by this third place person. It is a lie in front of you, and you're just saying we're not investigating it. So you're a denier. Well, I'm not denying. I can see the damn numbers, you idiot. The problem with it is it doesn't matter how you scream about it or I scream about exactly. The only way something that like that changes is if Nate Silver says it. Bill Maher says it, and enough Liberals go all right, dude, this, come on, this is wrong. Eventually, and you think maybe somebody gets pissed off enough that has lost their home in a fire or loses a loved one because of ineptness leadership that eventually they go stop, man, enough's enough. Maybe I don't know of all the things that the FBI could be going after. Yeah, election integrity is the number one thing. We've been saying that on this thing for years. How is it not being investigated? I mean it seems like it's an easy. Answer, right, No, I agree, I don't get it. And for the people to say, looking at the signatures is important and it takes time. Stop, come on, Florida council, right, everybody else counts them and you got a video coming later on that's just gonna scare the pits out of people. Yep, people who care? Yep, all right, yes, Second News headline, Okay, NBC News. Trump downplays inflation concerns as rate hits highest levels since twenty twenty three, left out the levels of twenty one twenty two, right exactly, and his response is what I love. Yeah, yep, as soon as we get finished, with this war, it'll all be back and be better than ever. Yeah, Which we'll talk about that a little bit later. Yeap, we were heading in a good direction and we diverted a little bit to take care of something important. Yep. That's what you want your leader to tell you, is the truth? Yep. CBS News Bill Gates appearing before a House committee investigating Epstein. Can we do we care? How many House committees can we be in front of? For what? Even if he walked in and said, yeah, I did it, the House is not going to arrest him. No, right, what are we doing? Yeah? All right, let's get onto something a little enlighter in matter. Okay, this is our TikTok shout out this week. All right, this was one of your favorites. It took me a while to find a video of him where he wasn't cussing every other bird. But he is funny, okay, And this is the uh he's basically a black farmer. But he's a funny black farmer. And his name is. Fall mob Don. What kind of following does he have? Oh? It's good?

Sports. We will start with the Stanley Cup. Yes, man, it has been like I would say early eighties, No, mid to late eighties, the NBA Finals I kind of looked forward to, Yeah, because you knew it was going to be a battle. This you don't know because I don't watch. I'm not a die hard hockey fan. Yeah, there's zero chance that this series has disappointed anyone, right, it has been absolutely riveting. Yeah, so we watched you went to game one, Yes, Game two, Carol Carolina one. Game three we watched at the River. Yeah, you remember how that went, and. We were down four nothing for nothing, scored four goals in the third period, third. Period, but lost. Yeah, we couldn't stay away second ever time it as great as it was, We're just too old. Yeah, but phenomenal. And then last night Mason and I did the chest bump on the fourth goal that you and Kevin Schleide did Carolina, Kevin twenty years ago, forty years ago. It's just been an incredibly well played like both sides, just phenomenal. Yeah, And I mean, you can't ask for a better hockey game. How cool was it that Carolina down two to one would throw in a rookie goalie crazy and that guy I didn't realize he was that good. Yeah, it was kind of interesting. Why if he had that good a run, why wouldn't he in the playoffs in the first place. It's a I mean, I've heard them before talk about like being a goalie is like a game of runs, like you have to be And it's not uncommon for them to pull a goalie in the Stanley Cup. Yeah, it's weird, like if you pull your cleanup hitter in baseball, right, Yeah, but apparently it's not uncommon. Yeah, what is is who they go back with because you just want to tie the series up to too. Yeah, now what do you do? Did you see the interview after the game when they talk to him, So he came off. I forget what his name is, but they came off and he's a he's a rookie, but he's twenty eight years old. Oh, spent his whole career in the minors. So this year was the first time that he'd got to play in the in the NHL, and I think he broke a record for the first first goalie to ten wins. He got ten wins in eleven games. Oh wow. And then he got like twenty five wins in thirty games something like that. He was on a heck of a roll to start his career. And then he wasn't playing. But when they go to talk to him, he was the happiest, go lucky guy, just so happy that we won. Be a part of it. She said, now the tough question. Do you get to play game five? And he said, do I look like whatever. The coach's name? Oh? Do I look like Rob Brendan Moore? Yeah? Do I look like Rob Brendan Moore? Yet? Go ask Rob? And he just was so just a matter of facts about it. That's cool. And I'm telling you, man, what the NBA has lost, the NHL seems to be picking up. Yes, I don't know if that's true or not in the. Ratings or any of that. I don't know if that's but I'm telling you it is something about that sport that is just really good. It is. But here's what I'll tell you. Just watching the two because we'll talk, we'll roll right out of that. That series is tied to too into the NBA Knicks. We're up two games to zero. They're coming home this is a massive deal. You could tell, like the pregame show, listening to Charles and them talk about having goosebumps. Yeah, you knew this was special. Yeah, like this was a big deal to everybody. Yes, the President's there, and I loved that they brought up out him Silver. I am not a fan of that dude. I think he's awful. He woke. However, it was great that he didn't dodge the question. Yeah, he could have just simply answered when they ask about President Trump. He could have just simply said, look, it's nice to have the President of the United States here. He didn't say that. He said he's twenty year front row seat guy. He's a Knicks and New Yorker. Why wouldn't keep acting like he's not a New Yorker. The guy is a New Yorker. He actually acts like a New Yorker. Correct, And so it was refreshing to hear the commissioner say that, and you almost felt it from him. We need this, like every we need everything. Yeah, we're you know this is important to us. Well, how often do we hear that just because somebody is pro Trump, they've alienated half their base. You never seem to say it the same way the other way. Correct, Yeah, exactly. Now here's where it's different. I don't know if you've seen the tiktoks, but the nastiness out in the streets is not good for your sport. I don't. I haven't seen. I don't know, dude. I've seen too many tiktoks of Spurs fans leaving the arena and getting getting brutally beat Like Jersey. They ripped one guy. He had a Wimby jersey on and they held him and ripped it off of him. And then there was one with bloody nose, and I mean, it's like, dude, come. On, that's ridiculous. Like I don't like that about the NFL, Like you know, when they show the Raiders, I mean the Rams and Niners, yes, or sometimes they show the Dodgers and Padres or Dodgers and Giants when those fights happened, I can't watch it. It makes me ill to know that that's going on in the stands in front of kids. Right there with you. Man, I don't, And I listen, your sport has got a matchup that can galvanize it the way that we saw it with the eighties, you know, with the Lakers and Celtics. You know, if you get a four or five year run with the Knicks and the Spurs and you know a few other teams mixed in, you're back to having a great league. Yeah, but you can't have that, no, because that eventually becomes the story. And to me, that's a that's a deterrent. That's do you think that would ever happen in the street when uh Giuliani was the mayor? No? I know, come on, no, you gotta know that that could happen. You gotta be there's there's gotta be some protections there. I mean just actually just common decency seems to have left, that's the thing. Yeah, So all right, moving on to Nascar. I wore a. Sean Taylor Redskins jersey to Monday Night Football and I was in the noseba bleed seats in Dallas Cowboys Stadium and I literally went from the upper deck and walked down through the well. Actually we took a elevator, but I went. Through the crowd and everybody was just rising me like because we had lost. I had not one ounce of fear that that was going to be an issue. Why would you Why should you you shouldn't. It's a freaking game. Yeah. I don't get that at all. Oh, don't get me wrong. I love bitter rivalry. Yeah. By the way, if Yankees red Sox, okay, I can see it getting out of hand Nick Spurs, that's going to be enough to make you that angry, literally. Ripping off a jersey from a guy's I mean yeah, by the way, he paid a lot of money for Yeah, absurd. Well I hope they fixed that. Yeah, all right, NASCAR Pocono where there will be coming up this week? Yeah, you had asked. It is on the schedule for the next weekend. They will be in San Diego. Man, I'm tell you what ESPN needs to come back on their NASCAR scene. What they have, get it down on the schedule. You're right, they've got So they got the NASCAR Truck Series next week at San Diego, and then they say NASCAR skips a week from Pocono and goes to Sonoma. They don't show the NASCAR truck unless it's like the first name. It wouldn't be that way. I'm telling you the ESPN thing is wrong. I was confused by that this is NASCAR. Truck Series at San Diego on the twenty first. It doesn't say NASCAR anyway. Anyway. Yeah, they're at Pocono this week. Yeah, which I'm excited about. Oh, I've got to make my picks. We got to make a pixelater on when Kevin comes on. But this past weekend, Denny Hamlin won and it was a good believe it or not, it was a good Michigan race. I was having such a good time in the pool day I completely forgotten I started grilling. I think I had her all and I saw the celebration. Yeah. I mean it was a lot of passing, which is rare. Yeah, and it wasn't a fuel mileage thing. And Carson Hosovar calls a stink. So it had all the elements that you need. Dude. It's what I love about Carson that I think eventually people will love more. I don't know. So he literally wrecked and took out a bunch of good cars, right, Yeah, of course he doesn't get hurt, but he had said on his audio it felt like they checked up and I was trying to avoid it. And when I did, I looked the back bumper of a car and turned them into people. Very well. Could have happened. Of course, all your everybody is piling on right, yeah, just you know. And then afterwards Bubba Wallace comes and sits down beside him, puts his arm on him, and then lectures him. And so then they ask Bubba about it, and he said, basically, I just told him, look, you're fast, you're great, You're all these things. You know, you just got to calm down. And I am so tired of hearing people say calm down. Let me just ask you right now, Richard Petty. I've heard people talk to Richard Petty about Dale Earnhart and you know what, Richard Petty says, couldn't stand him. You know why, because he wrecked people. But do you think Richard Petty ever went over to Dale Earnhart and said, I need you to calm down. I would have told him that if screw off, which is what hohs of R tells them. By the way, Bubba Wallace is that the last person that I would have taken exactly. He's the one that's hooked more people into the news. It's awful. And so I'm just I do love that. De Larenhard Jr. Says, I know y'all don't like it, but I love it. It's what It's what we need. I don't want him to change, you know, And I just I'm like, I don't think he cares what any of you people think. The one guy that I think honestly does not care is him. I mean, Ross Chasin used to be that way, and I don't know what happened to him. I just think their cards suck. Yeah, but I did hear a little bit of in car radio of SVG. Did you did you see any of that where his crew chief was. He literally radioed in and said, I can't drive this thing, and so he's like, so what do you need? And he said it's unraceable and he goes, so what do you need? And he goes, I don't know what to tell you. And the guy said his crew chief goes, then maybe you shouldn't be out there, Maybe you should just bring. The car in. Oh wow, dude, that was my face, Like, what did you just say? Like Ony's gonna win you probably four races this year? Wow? Maybe you should calm down a little bit and save that for the meeting on Monday. I thought it was totally inappropriate. H shouldn't have put that on the air for sure. No, they got to know that everybody's listening. Yeah, all right, we'll have our picks later on Kevin comes up. Is anybody watching F one anymore? I forgot about it, honestly. It was Monica, right, it was Monica. I checked in just to see how qualifying went, and I was happy that for Stapping was battling for pole. He started second, right, Yeah, starts the race immediately as soon as the lights go out, he pulls off. Car wouldn't move. And I'm like, when will people start to say, boy, they do miss Christian Horner. Oh yeah, nobody says it. I've not heard one person mentioned Christian Horner since he left. Yeah, and I'm thinking to myself, I'd love if he joined Cadillac. But do you think he's really gonna rebuild again? Like that's what people do. He's too young to not He is too young. He shouldn't be He shouldn't be out of First of all, he still should be at at Red Bull And that was dumb whoever thought that was a good idea, But especially like I think people forget they were in the process. They went from Honda to Ford Engines, which basically is their own engine. They just put Ford's name on it. All of that stuff is going on, and you're going to take your fearless leader and say we don't need you anymore, and you're going to try to think that somebody else is going to have that figured out. Certainly hasn't worked. I was shocked to find out last week was his first podium week before lasts of the year. And we're okay with that? Ye now all right? Yeah? Local yeah JF baseball. Yeah, so they made the state semi Yeah, big win last night in the quarterfinals. Shout out to Jacob Becker. Yes, obviously we found out how much they think we're jinks. Didn't ask us to come back, didn't ask us to broadcast the game because the last time we did, the lost. Yeah, and when you were a part of that. So but congratulations to them and good luck in the semifinals. And the quarterback for LCAYA committed to South South Carolina. Yeah, it's crazy. I know it's still early. I mean, I guess you can commit to other places too, But what did that. Kid attend high school before LCA. I swear he's the kid that started at Radford. I'm pretty sure, right, I think so yeah, imagine that. Yeah, but anyway, that is sports and sports is brought to you by. Need Insurance in Bedford. I'm David Honeker, 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. All right, today's news. Let's start with something we talked about earlier, the Big Rock Tournament. Yeah, as you said and stated early earlier, this is in Morehead in the city. Yeah, there's another name. What's there's multiple names. Morehead City, Atlantic Beach, Crystal Coast, Beaufort, Beaufort. That's so the actual dock is in Morehead City. That's the whole town is that's the town proper. The downtown area of Morehead City, Morehead City goes like all the way back towards Havelock. Okay, so it's all Morehead City. But the downtown part where all the little where the fishing boats are and where the dock is, that's that's Morehead City. So I mean, I remember we used to go many many years ago, and I told I was telling Logan and I had to go to Richmond yesterday, and I was telling him the story about our first ever trip deep sea fishion, which was an absolute what's the what's the word of shoot? Accident? Yeah, I mean it was not supposed to happen that way. Okay. We were going to rent a boat and none of them were available, but this little tiny boat, remember it had no ac nothing, that's all that was available. Me and you went down to the dock to check out the boats, but nothing was there. And it's because they had a big tournament in Hatteras and but there was a little boat that was available, and she said the lady, she was like, yeah, it was six hundred bucks. I think it wasn't outrageous. So we booked it. We left, and she called you and said that Captain Thomas had decided that they were not going to fish in that tournament and that he was available if anybody was interested. And you said, yeah, we'll take it. She's like, now, wait a minute, it's expensive, and you're like, what the hell, let's try it. And that's how we ended up on Captain Thomas's boat, the Dancing Outlaw. So the so I had been on the Captain. I'd been on the Dancing Outlaw before. Yeah, so I had been on it was my brother and my dad, not the Dancing Outlaw. Okay, now, because you because we were shocked, okay that it became available. And that was the trip. If you'll remember that I caught the billfish okay, and I've got pictures that I was thumbing through it. It was amazing, Okay. So anyway, yeah, we had a we had a great trip. That's and since then we've been on it. I don't know how many times. Yeah, but uh, that's the first time. That was two thousand, I think probably, I think so. And so what's crazy about that story is I had never even heard and that even back then, I didn't even know the Big Rock existed. Yeah. So when we were on that boat, if you will remember, he had told us that George Bush had been on his boat. Oh well, remember and that the fishing mate had a friend that got tangled and the thing had taken him under and killed him or whatever, and we were giving him a hard time through the window. Oh yeah about being lazy, but he wasn't. He was working his rear end. All. Yeah. Anyway, great fishing trip. But it wasn't until gosh, I want to say, many many many years later that you we were at more hid than we had eaten at the sanitary And that's when you took us over to the landing and showed us. But then it was not crowded like it is now. It has just gotten ridiculous. Two one hundred and seventy six boats. Wow, is what's in this one? And Michael Jordan's not in this one? Oh he didn't go there, no, And so I think he definitely helped make grow that thing because everybody wanted to see that. But this year has been incredible, dude, the fish that they have brought in. Like when we were riding yesterday, I checked the weights and you were right, Like the last four or five years they were actually low, like really low. And then twenty nineteen they had the record which was nine hundred and fourteen pounds. So what I remember about that because they couldn't get over five hundred pounds, they put a bounty out there, and it was because they seemed to couldn't get over five hundred pounds anymore. And I remember it was big news when the first fish got over five hundred pounds. It was like a million dollar fish. Yeah. And so here's what's crazy about that. So now they had created any fish that's the first fish that's over five hundred pounds wins this award. So not only you mentioned the purse yesterday, they got a check for eight hundred and seventy six thousand dollars wow, just for being the first one to catch a fish over five hundred Wow. I heard that if he ends up winning, which by all means you would think that nine hundred nineteen pounds would win, that you would think that. So his winning purse, that fish has a chance to have a value of six million dollars. Ow. It's crazy for a fishing expedition. I did see Captain Thomas posts on Dancing Outlaw the perfect person won the event, meaning the captain. Yeah, apparently he's got a lot of respect for her. Ah. It was called Marlon Fever, Marlon Fever, Yeah, beautiful boat. Did you get see any of the video footage of the fish in the water. Yeah, when it was coming out of the water at that thing looked like a monster coming out of the water. Yeah. And so we were riding back and we were watching it live because I mean, I got nothing to do. I'm riding in a truck and dude, when they pulled so literally, the guy said, all right, this is a first in the history of the Big Rock Tournament. They're having to pull the fish in the cabin to be able to get it out of the boat. And Logan went, oh, my god, this might be big, because I mean when you see him laying down, you just don't know. They had to pull it in the cabin to get the tail over the rear end of the boat. When they started pulling, and is when you realized, oh, oh, this is going to be massive. And when they announced nine hundred. I saw they posted a picture that it was on its way in to get measured, and they showed one of the mates and he was laying on the fish. They had to blanket over the fish. Yes, he was laying on the fish. His feet were at the end of the tail, and he had his hands as far up as he could and there was still the body in the head of the fish. It was that long. It's absolutely amazing, and it's like, I know, like Emma's probably reading a book right now, thinking this is crazy, but when you see it, it's. Chilling, like it's well, my context is I've never seen one except you catch a billfish, and for the to watch that thing come up out of the water, I will never forget that the rest of my life. I've forgotten the whole trip you just talked about, but I do remember the billfish and you steal it from my dad coming out of the water. So I do. I love that whole trip because there was so many little things of him. We're holding it up, y'all are taking pictures, and then he throws it overboard, and the look on my face, I'm pissed, like I didn't know he was going to do that. Yeah, And then on the ride back, he says, when you get back, now you'll fill out paperwork because you'll get a citation, And I'm like, well, am I getting fined? Like I thought a citation meant that I was going to get a fine, yeah, and then that's when I learned about the flag flying upside down and all the just just there's so many cool things to it. So if you're listening to the show and you've never done it, contact Trent somebody, go rent something in more Head and stay the week and go to the Big Rock, Like it is amazing to watch. I've been at Jack's, the three story bar they have there. I've been there when they've been doing the measurements. Okay, really cool. Yeah, I thought it was neat that they announced because you can listen to the radio, which is even better, and they when you when you hook, like you have to call it in. Yeah, like everything. This is no joke. People have gone to prison for treat cheating. It's not a joke. But they radio in and he said one hundred and thirty seven inches, So immediately Ai, I'm like, what's one hundred and thirty seven inches away? And it said between five and six hundred pounds. So that's why I told Logan. I was like, oh, we got us a big fish here. Well, I mean I didn't have the girth to be able to calculate that, so I'm still thinking it's five six hundred pounds, and when they hoisted that thing and said nine yeah, I was like, oh, yeah, well they just weighed one. The Builder's Choice weighed in at five thirty. So they're catching Yeah, Marlin's man like crazy this week. That's really cool. So all right, moving on? Yeah, oh I ran, it looks like we're back into that. What are your thoughts? I mean, first off, we're dealing with people that do not care about life, and they don't care about their own people's lives, correct, and they do care about giving in to Whitey. Yes, so they're not going to give in to Whitey until we kill enough of their leaders to have somebody that's smart enough to say this is not what we want to do. I don't know what else we can do. I mean, I think Trump, you know, of all the people who say, oh, he just likes getting us into wars, which was crazy because all he did was get us out of wars. And then you know this, he literally, I think tried negotiating to find a way out. Because what I've always told you is contrary to what people believe. Trump actually would like to see everybody do well. And if he thought somehow, some way Iran can become this powerful country and their people are succeeding. It's a win for everybody. And I think that's what he was trying to get to. And then I think, you know, they just don't stop, man, and so he didn't. I mean, I love his post just before we came on air. I haven't seen it. Oh where he uh, apparently we've been smuggling, smuggling all out of there. Okay for the last month. Uh we've been We have smuggled. I forget how many ships, he said, like, we're stealing oil, millions of barrels. Oh wow, we have smuggled through the Straits of mus He goes, it's been hard for me to keep my tongue quiet. But apparently he said, gloves are off. So I guess we're gonna just I mean. The same people were talking about are the same ones that have in rich uranium. What do you think they were going to do? Correct, they were ready to attack the Middle East. They obviously had the missiles already pointed to the other countries in the Middle East they were getting ready to take. So I do believe in Marco Rubio. And you know what I do think. I'm always tired of us pussy footing around, you know, if you're going to do it. Yeah, yeah, I just got to do it. You've just got to do it. So it looks like we're heading that way. So anyway, I'm good to drink of mine. All right, California elections, we'll talk briefly about that. Just what a absolute joke it is from top to bottom. I mean, the people that go, well, it's not cheating because of the governor's race. I mean, it's not even apples to apples. Like you, what's going on in the mayor race is ridiculous. We've talked about it, but it's just it's crazy to me that we have allowed it. That is what's happened. And they've gone away with it for so long. They're just going to continue getting away with it. And you want to talk about mail in ballots, Hey, I did a mail in ballot. I've got the experience of a mail in ballot. My parents lived in North Carolina. I lived in Virginia. I was an out of state student, but I mailed it into North Carolina. Yeah, but I did it on time and ahead of the election. Yeah, what's crazy about it is you can go to California and they show you the ballots that haven't been counted yet. Yeah, like not the individual with that number, dude, just look at it. It's like, I'm just going to use numbers. But it was like one point seven million votes on election day, right, Yeah, and then it was like one million four mailing ballots before the election. Dude, it was well over a million votes after the election. Yeah. What, First of all, what part of that sounds remotely fair? And even if it even if it were, even if it were fair, if it was legit, Let's say they all came in ahead of the elect Let's say they were all postmarked, and they came in a head election, which by the way, doesn't have to happen. You can mail it after the election. You just have to write in the date. They don't even care about the postmark of the post office. If you handwrite the date in, they still accept it. I mean, how can you how can that even be your law? But that isn't even the worst part. If you had done that, and you could still do bass Pratt in whoever the third place lady is before. The election, that's the order that it came in. How was the second place Democrat now beating the first place just put Pratt out of the way. How is the second place Democrat that nobody knew about, knew who she was. How is she beating the first place Democrat but not enough to overtake her? Correct? She was just so far behind that the new votes, she's doing this, she's climbing so that just enough to get past the second place. Guy. It's so, it's just so I don't know the word like it's demoralizing that we've allowed the one thing that should be the most important. You know, it's not demralizing about it. I'm sorry to me to catch off. It's the weirdos in California. Yeah, you know what, which just yeah, exactly, just get what you deserve, keep letting the homeless run rampant. Yep. But I tell you, man, I guarantee you why they would go out of their way to do the fraud that they have to avoid the fraud being caught. Oh not just in elections, talking about the budgets and the funding and all the dose stuff that's going on. They've got too much involved with the letter Republican win. And I know we've talked about this between you and I before about the the committee hearings and all that stuff that nothing comes out of it. I do enjoy occasionally, like seeing the Southern Poverty Law I don't know if you saw that yesterday, the thing, oh yeah on it. It's just how are you even how are you even able to operate? Period? You literally funded an event that caused a death because you incited a racial riot, and how are you allowed to function? I don't And and then to post articles calling people who are against abortion white supremacists? Yeah, how do you get? And that's what I don't understand is I read the article the next day that said the Trumpet administration seriously looking at revoking their five oh one C three. Well, why is it even a question? Right? Should be? So I did a five oh one C three? I know what I five one's leader three is when we did the engineering and yeah, we've got one of the mini men. So the Engineering and Science camp, yeah, we used to do it was called Virginia Youthful Engineers. I had to certify that nothing I would do would be political in nature, exactly, you couldn't do it. So, I mean, the Southern Poverty Law Center is nothing but that. Well, how do you get funding from any kind. Of that's so sad. Federal funding. It's ridiculous. Spent billions and billions of dollars against ourselves exactly destroying America. Yeah, that's all we've done. We funded destroying America. Ridiculous. Wow, we need some cleansing. Yeah, just in all honesty. You just need new politicians that like, I don't know, man, I don't know. Yeah, and then I read where Susan Collins here we go again, you know, decides now that she's in favor of the same act you called it. Oh yeah, you said, ah, they'll come around right before the electraction. It was too late. The guy that told me that was not me. It was our guy that we liked from Tennessee. I can ever think much name Yeah, he said it was going to be. And listen, I gotta be honest with you. Fune is starting to get on my nerves. I was worried about him from the start. I heard a. Reporter ask him a question, and how that's not mainstream is scary to me. The reporter said, I don't know if you are aware, but the Tim Burchett law past the House, is that something you're going to take up in the Senate and he just kind of looked confused, and she said it's the uh defunding the Taliban, and he goes, it's no, it's not how on our parly list, We're not going to take that up. Of course, not Trent. You just ask a sitting politician if you're going to take up the defund the Taliban, and you said it's not a high priority. Where did that come from? I never he was such a Mitch McConnell guy. He literally was over that guy's shoulder every day. And and you see what's happening. Mitch McConnell is one of the worst ever. Right, he's going out on the biggest fu note he can trump. Right. That guy led the Senate for years and years and years. That's who was leading the Senate. So that's all you needed to know. It is a party. So hey, let me ask you something. Yeah, one thing. That Pratner guy that's up in Maine, Planner, Yes, Platnert Platner platter. It's a turkey platter. That guy that's running Yeah, okay, I guess he's in a primary or whenever that's going to happen. That's over. He's won the primary. He won the primary, so he will face Susan Collins. Okay, so the lady you just talked about. Yeah, okay, so he still has to beat her. Correct? Oh, good gosh. So either way we're screwed. Yeah, she's not like she was a Republican anyway. How come we didn't primary her? I don't know, we know why we don't. But you know what's crazy about that story? You really can't though, because she's in Maine. Is nobody talks about who the Platiner guy beat in his party? The governor van one that pissed off Trump and said you'll pay for it? How's not has nobody said that you. Vote the one that would let wouldn't let boys, or wouldn't let the wouldn't stop the boys from competing against the girls. Correct? Her career is over? Good? Donald Trump? Did that? Not Platiner? Yeah, jeez, unbelievable. I'm just hoping he can't win. Platner. Oh dude, I don't know anymore nowadays with Democrats, they they don't care. We gotta get to mind rushmore doing. We're moving on. Okay. P o W Post of the Week by an idiot. This was pow. This was when the with the pride because by the way, it's Pride month apparently, Uh, be careful who you hate. It could be somebody you love, Trent, it's my relative pride month. Yep, So I don't. I've never understood that. But because how is it hate? The The premise starts off with you lying, correct about me hating someone? Right? You literally have started about with a lie, and then you added that lie by telling you me that the people in my family are also that friends will come out that are gay. Yeah. Guess what. Yeah, I don't agree with it. Yeah, but do I hate them? Do I talk bad about them? No? Do they care? No, they're not out there screaming Pride month either. Right, It's just and it's always the people that the ones. That create enemies out of us. That's literally what they do. And they've created a demon in their mind of who the white man is. It's literally what it is. Great point yep, all right, My pal is they want money for they want money for foreign wars? A ballroom? Can man? Do they hate the ballroom? And do they hate they reflecting pool too? Oh? Yeah? And to pardon the mob that stormed our democracy, I want money for kids, lunches, veteran housing, and healthcare. And so I just simply asked, well, how do you want that stuff? Weren't you in charge? Didn't you? Weren't you given all that? Who took it away from the health care? I thought, I thought you spent thirty years trying to fix that. You made it worse. Ask me what my deductible was twenty years ago, and what my deductible is now. Who was the one president that actually fixed the VA? Right? It allowed you to go to different places and new stuff. Oh, well, kids lunches? Why I don't And I know people disagree with me on this, but I don't. I don't understand the whole kids should get free lunches. I don't. It didn't used to be that way. So what's what changed? Yeah? Just a nice thing. You just gonna be nice, Brian, Just be nice, dude. I'm telling you. The more I see d C, like it has turned into a beautiful place, and it's like they we could have that in Baltimore, we could have that in New York, we could have that everywhere. Safe and pretty. Oh, it took was the right president, all right? This week's killed by an immigrant. Okay, Danny Sharp, Yeah, it lives and lived in Georgia. He was killed by an immigrant. And I don't even know how you start to say his name. Jana Majoy sounds jeny oh, it sounds like a Johnson. He received He was an immigrant that came in in twenty twenty two through the border. Okay, he received his final deportation orders two weeks prior to the accident that killed mister Sharp. Had they just turned him over to Ice, none of this, that guy would still be alive. So again, this is our win win win portion, and we're gonna. Win, win, win, and we're gonna make America great again. Right on. So instead of Trump, this is one of his employees that wears many hats and apparently shoes. But this is Marco Rubio and I love this is great listening to this. Go ahead cut too. I also remind everybody the United States government is not a charity. We are not here to play social worker. We are here to win. We are here to win on behalf of the American people and on behalf of the national interest, to win for our country, to win for the people of America, to win for the things that are important for our future, and that's what we exist to. Do, right, pretty simple, straightforward in the truth, dude, our party, Republican Party ten years ago would have never uttered those words. They would have been afraid to say that. And he's exactly right. We're not a charity. We don't need free lunches and free this and free that. Yeah, all right, yep, moving on to our Mount Rushmore quickly. Okay, Mount Rushmore of road snacks or travel snacks. Yes, this was a big hit amongst friends and family. We'll start with Chris's his snackies I like this were Twizzlers, the strawberry ones. There is a difference in a twizzer between strawberry and cherry not and definitely can't do black. Oh dude. My favorite twizzler is the kind that the the swirl that has the different flavors. But I could do well. First of all, black is is licorice, not a twizzler. Well you know what I mean, same damn thing, but the worst candy ever made. Next one is cheese It's love a cheese it. So I asked the question at the river, are you a cheese it fan or cheese nips? I don't know. The difference between them. Next is gummy bears, beef jerky, and pizza flavored combos. I love a combo. I like the pizza flavored. I like that. I think that was on Rupert's list. All right, I'll do bhind quickly. Yeah, blue cheese combos are my favorite. I thought you just said you'd like them. I do not them things. Goats. I don't know how you actually say it, goatis. It looks like that spelled like gets gets. Is that what you say? I have no idea. What are you talking about. It's they're gonna have to do some sort We're gonna have to do some research soon as you see it. Candy, of course. My favorite. Those are so good, disgusting. What do you mean they're discussing it like sticking to your teeth? Thank you? It is literally crack. But to me, they're way better than a cow taiale y'all. Like caramel, Yeah, a camera came caramel with a white nugget. That is not caramel. M yes, it is caramel creams. No, that's a different brand. Pringles. I like a stack of pringle. I love a pringle. You know, the lay stacks are not far off, really, they're pretty good. They're pretty good. They're not quite a pringle, but they're not far off. Nothing did pretty good with their imitation stack. And you know what I love most about a pringle is then when when you get three quarters through, you gotta tilt it. Oh heck, I gotta be. The only bad thing is if you're driving and you hit the can on the top of the on the ceiling. All right. Next is man, I love a good peanut butter brittle. Man. You you eat a lot of stuff. It hurts my teeth. I got to see the dentist in the morning, and my last one is not bad. I don't think I'm getting that. Apparently I didn't. I was wondering what this is good vibrations Mark Wahlberg. A couple of weeks. Uh, damn, I done forgot my last one. I was cow tails. I see you by. I'm trying to think of that stuff that you tell me got to be a chip. I think it was. I don't know. Move on, okay, I don't think. Of it later. So uh, of the motor boatables group, the texting group. Julie likes Twizzlers, so she's right up your alley. I don't know if the difference is cherry and strawberry, and the strawberry better than the cherry. Am I wrong on that? Uh? Dude? Catherine hit one on here that I am telling you I do all the time, and it wasn't in my list. It makes me mad that I didn't think of it. Potato skins, you know, the chips love them. The TGI Fridays. TGI Fridays have all closed down, but them damn Tata skims are still there. They're so good. The potato and bacon ones, the cheddar and bacon ones, sour gummy worms. I can't do. South Marty has a checks mix with a Fountain Dyke coke. Yes, checks Mix was on a lot of people's lists that I talked to. Brian French wrote cheesy in a bowl and I was like, that's not a tribal one. And then he says, I was told I can't have that, So I guess he and Catherine got into it. So he said Reese's Pieces, which I do like Reese's pieces. The combos combo is the great travel snack. Yeah, I don't know about that blue cheese Fountain Cherry Coke. Are you kidding? Wow. By the way, then I posted the picture of Cardi B. Did you see her on the halftime show? Not bees? That's what Shaq said. Her name might be Cardi B, but that ain't no bees. Just trying to look through if I see any other ones. And then my kids got on her. Are we in a hurry? Just your tongue? Okay? So uhrer rally, where are you? Oh? Here this my kids? Rightley said, Dad, I have never seen you drive without a peanut butter Snickers. That's a good point. I love a peanut butter Snickers. I was upset remember being getting you watched my call it this weekend? Watch my call is not on your list? God, it's yeah, but that's not a travel snack. But I had peanut m and M's because they didn't have the peanut butter snickers. U. So this is not a snack kind of snack. But when I go to sheets and I'm traveling, there is a chicken tender sandwich sub with a pretzel roll. So why do you go outside of the box. You mean versus what you asked. Yeah, that's not a snack, I know, but if I'm a sheet, that's what I get. Cheese it's white cheddar. I don't know about cheese nips. Do I buy cheese nips and I don't know that they're cheese not cheese. It's look it up. I don't know. I think it's just a different brand. Yeah, and then deal sunflower seeds. If I got to stay awake, I don't even see those. In my love cheese nips more than I love them more than cheese. It cheddar popcorn, white cheddar popcorn. You know, I just one popped in my head that I used to love. But you cannot just eat them. You have to bite the little tip off of. Themutiles bugles, Oh hell yeah, but you don't. Just am I the only one that bites a little tip off and bus before the onions. It's a good one too. Uh. Riley has sweet tart ropes. H Perry said the pretzel bun sub is undefeated, so he agreed with me. There freaking meal it is. Don't ask for a fried chicken sandwich from Wendy's because it doesn't exist. It doesn't. Riley says, cheese it's cheese mix, rainbow sour airheads. Remember that's what kids love, those airhead things, and a Loni energy drink. What are you drinking right now? Orange pistol lawn? Yeah, I didn't even know I did that. That's pretty cool. Can I get my list? Oh yeah, I forget about you. Thank you? Can I do that? I'm gonna do the dorito spicy sweet chili. I like this spicy, but not the sweet chili. No. I love a dorita just I like the cool ran doesn't have enough flavor on it for me. M hm. Life Saver gummies hice pretty good again? Do you just eat them? Or do you roll it up on your finger? I don't know if I ever thought about that. Do you feel like it could be an only you thing? Maybe? I do have extra cheddar cheese.

This was the best family answering to a mount rushmore, what did Sara? Sarah likes pretzel knots and cheese, And then Harry gave that eye roll. No, No, that's a good one. You mean like petzelk motts. I guess if I can have a pretzel roll where she can have a pretzel not No, yours is a meal. Para likes flaming hot munchies. Let's just put you in this way. If if she goes and clicks the menu, she's gonna get hers from the snack menu. You're not getting yours from a snack menu. That's the difference. But I'm doing it when I'm traveling. But it's the traveling snacks, not traveling meal. Next week traveling meal. Oh those are good. I like the cheddar one, yes, oh, harvest cheddar sonship. I wonder this country is huge. None of us pick vegetable. Us me go back and read Catherine, I love those pickles at the counter. Te you, Julie. Uh, I guarantee you. Emma doesn't know this. Listen with pickles. Every convenience store that Trent and I ever went in at the very register was this massive jar. Oh yeah, and what was in it? Trent? Oh, there's either a giant pickle or it was the deviled eggs. Or the red hots or the the red hot, the pickle, the pigs feet every one. Do you ever eat a pig's feet? No? But they were in the jars, I know, but my grandmother loved them things.

As a little light on clips this week weep. Can I say something? Yes, since you guys didn't ask me about my weekend, I do have something Trent, you would really like this. When we were at the D Day Memorial, Caitlyn and I we met the sweetest one hundred and one year old veteran for real, well we're a two veteran. His name is Richard and he was the sweetest man ever, so lively, bubbly, and we saw him a game. No, he would love it. He is the most lively person ever. He texts us every day. Are you serious? Yes, it's so cute. First off, I'm not over the fact that you didn't interrupt us about the weekend? Did you just forget about to tell us? No, I was No, you just didn't ask. We need to put it on the agenda. But no, you would have loved him, Trent. He was the sweetest man, so lively. Let's I'll show you a picture of them. Caitlyn and I are going to go get lunch with him sometime. I'll be worried a little bit. Why No, he lives with his daughter. It's really sweet. We know all about him. Now, Okay, man, this dude's playing. He's got some game. No, he does. He text us every day, and he's like, it would be weird if I was younger, but since I'm an old man, it doesn't matter. His wife and him are married for like seventy one years. Wow, he gone, yeah, but he'll be one hundred and two in November. Getting it done, pops. But I thought Trent would like that. That's awesome. Thank you for telling me that. That's really cool. All right, So Brian just like you said about the election. Yep, And what have we said before? They just tell you what they're going to do, and they don't care because they've been getting waited for with it for so long. This was a question about when they were worried in the governor's race. They were worried. Before Swalwell got out this Swalwell was going to get enough votes that it would end up being two Republicans in the lead. Because now they do the dumb thing where they do the voice rank choice. Okay, so listen to what his answer is that you can be assured that's not going to happen. Accountability. Do you think Democrats will hold you accountable for standing by this principle of neutrality by withholding your endorsement in this non possible scenario. Yeah, Look, my focus has been making sure that doesn't happen, and I've exercised not just a focus, but I've exercised through some action efforts to encourage that doesn't happen by making my case and will continue to make my case. I do not see that scenario taking place. I've said this before, Saul repeated, I don't anticipate this need to be the case but there is a break the glass scenario, and there's many people that have a deep understanding of what it would look like if Democrats are locked out, and we're gonna do everything to make sure that doesn't happen. It is literally what Joe Biden said that time when they a asked him about it, and he said, we're just going to do everything constitutionally what we can do to make sure he doesn't run. And then they did the whole lawgate. He's telling you right there, we've got ways to cheat. Have a break the glass, yeah scenario? Yeah, what else could that mean? And he's in California and he's answering to a liberal reporter and he's just getting them all to rest assured. We're not going to have a Republican as one of the two. This we've got this, just don't worry about it, Fellas, we got all this. He's just telling you they don't even care that they're social media. They don't care. So speaking of this in twenty ten, and I know you know the answer to this, but it is amazing in twenty ten, back in the day that we didn't know that this was already going on. The counts were being done. And guess who is the biggest recipient of this first effort to count ballots later. Just listen to this. Four weeks after the November second election, California five has declared a winner in the attorney general race. Harris finished so close to her Republican opponent that it took a month to finish counting every vote. She won by less than one percentage point. Jesus. Look, the San Francisco Chronicle has the headline that Cooley beats Harris to win the attorney general race. Not so fast, my friends. We have more votes to count, and we're going to take four votes to count, and Harris is going to somehow, some way win, So she wins the attorney general. Yeah, she doesn't win that race. There's no way she ever becomes vice president. Right, they've been platinus since the beginning. Go god, man, it's unreal. Oh those graphs right there, remind me. Let me ask you this and all the mail in ballot counting, has there ever been a Republican that ended up benefiting because of that? Nuh never, that's your answer right right there. That's why they're going to keep doing it because zero and I asked there was somebody that posted about that, and I said, also, have you ever seen a pre early poll that ever has the Republican ahead. Exactly like right now, if you had Susan Collinson Planter, Yeah, whatever his name is. Of course, Platter's going to win. Platter Planter Planter Faction. Yeah whatever, Yeah, there's Yeah, you're right. I guarantee your Texas if they're trying to put Packson, I guarantee you Packson's behind in every pole that they can find, you know what I mean. It's just it's just the Listen, we're old enough to see the game plan. They just do it right in front of you, and nobody seems to care. And who's there's literally rushing the ball. There's literally social media that shows all this and nothing happens to any of them. They don't care. Yeah. Uh so this was about the. The murder case. So I was going to play the clip, but I know it went around pretty big, so I didn't play yet. So the the guy that. Shoot Carmelo Anthony, Yes, yeah, so Carmelo Anthony is a young black teenager who killed a white teenager at a track and field event. Correct, And I didn't know any of the details to I read about it after the guilty verdict. Okay, so I know nothing, So anything you tell me, are you okay? So I'm going to tell you a quick version the writer readers digest version. So it was at a track event, track and field event for high school. It rained, and so all of them are supposed to have gone to their buses or high school tents. It was two I won't even know. I don't even know. If the rival high schools or not. But the white kid was with his tent, in his tent, with his teammates in the tent. The black kid comes from his high school over to that tent and they kept trying to get him to leave. You're not welcome here, get out of the tent. Why a school official didn't come in, I don't know. But that kid that got murdered is a football player that played football and ran track. So they're making it sound like that he is some kind of a body building beast that picked on the black kid and the black kid was self defense. Well, he was found guilty and he's going to serve thirty five years for killing this eighteen year old kid. Seventeen eighteen year old kid, they're both seniors in high school. Stabs him with a knife, asking where his knife was. It was in his book bag that he brought over with him to the tent. So he pulls out a switchblade or a blade that's three inches long, and that's all the other defense. It was only three inches long. Well, guess what. It pierced him right in his heart and he took off front. So yes, the kid cried miserably after being caught. Right, the black kid cried uncontrollably. He was caught and he's found guilty. How many first forty eights have we watched where people feel guilty what they did. But guess what, you murdered someone. But here's what Jasmine Crockett has to say about it. Thank god she's not in leadership anymore. Let's hear what she had to say. A three hundred pound man is beating me, like on top of me and beating me down. I'm not limited to fist, you know. I would argue that even the only time we go into things like people's hands being considered daily weapons is typically like if they're a professional boxer that kind of stuff. But I think by the time you start getting to like football player good arguments, good freaking arguments. We're not talking about like the golfers. We're talking about football players, right, like this is what they are trained to do, is to inflict like serious physical contact. And it's my understanding that decesn was that. You know, one thing she didn't say there about the football player the kid that the kid that did the stabbing was the MVP linebacker on his football team. God he also played theself. But none of that would matter anyway. But she's just an idiot, I mean, what little bit. I honestly, I didn't know the story. And now that you're showing this, what I'm confused with is, I don't think I ever heard was the white kid on top of the black kid? No, I never heard any of that other than he put his hands on her to push him to get out of the tent. Correct, That's all I've heard. Yeah, I'm hearing all this other side go it was self defense? What self defense? You just mentioned? Last night? New York was ripping off jerseys of people. Correct, Right, they didn't arrest. I don't know, maybe they did, maybe they haven't whatever. But the kid that got his jersey ripped off, did he take a knife out and murder the guy that did it. No, As a matter of fact, his friends were hugging, just trying to get people to stop. Yeah, golly like, it's unbelievable to me, which I think is ironic because these are the people that think you shouldn't own a weapon to defend yourself and now screaming it's okay. Yeah. And a woman who was outside of the courtroom is yelling, I've got five boys. What am I supposed to tell the five boys? I have no words. What am I supposed to tell them? The truth? Don't kill someone? Yeah? Yeah, how about why are you sticking your nose in another tent in the first place, Not that you can or can't or whatever, but I'm. Pretty sure you were supposed to have a knife. I'm pretty sure. Let's just start with that. Yeah, of course. Yeah, at a track event. Track me after the high school, which means you had it at school, you got on the bus, you went to the track event, it rained, you went over somebody else's tent, and you made it happen. Anyway. You want some brighter news, yes, listen, listen to this. This is the best ever. This is College Baseball World Series getting ready to start. But West Virginia has got to be the talk of the town. Listen to this. This is the team singing. With the crowd. Wow, that gives me chills. You know what's great about that is you and I have been to West Virginia for tournaments. There isn't another school in West Virginia, is it. I mean there is, but I'm saying you would never know it. Yeah, because dude, as soon as you cross the border. Oh yeah, they're mountaineers. Oh my gosh, it's on their state logo. Yeah, Marshall is a decent school, but they're towards Ohio, Kentucky. They're on the west. Sure, but I mean they're wearing a Marshall. So let me play this because of North Carolina's Kevin coming on. This is really really fast. But the pit the guy in that picture right there is a picture. He's got the headset on. He's waiting for the song to end. He's singing the song and now ESPN, I guess it is gets to interview him. Here what he has to say at the end of his interview. One more thing. I saw my mom my head the trum roll. I freget love that lady man, Thank you guys. Congratulations, I say you guys. In West Virginia will be home next week against. Cal Poly Country Road. His mom crying. In country tears. That's so cool man. Yep, we're rooting for him. Yeah, overall like a loose Gingers and the ice train. What up? Kevin got permission? Permission? Trey Taylor got permission? What is he? Trey Taylor? They said somebody was then here fishing. Oh I thought we could fish in here. There's a private private property. Hit the road, dude, this is that that trucker guy that was in the truck trying to get rid of the guys that were fishing fishing. Minty fresh. Man told me said they were people down here fishing. They lock them up, lock them up. You got any rain your way? No nothing, zero, gont get no rain. It wasn't much for us either, just enough of you got your truck wash to ruin it. Get the rain on your truck. M hm. How's you go in fair note, homie, dude. I've had the best luck so far, except I mean I've got great cucumbers. I put one in the fridge every night, eat it the next day. Next day, I go out there there's another one. I don't know how it grows so much in one damn day, and or I didn't see it the day before. But the zucchini that I got this morning, I guess I hadn't seen it in there, so it got. A little big. You know, you don't want them to get too big. That one's probably too big. But my crook, next squash, it's not bigger than my thumbs. And they're already like gold instead of yellow. I don't know why they haven't grown very much. I must have got the wrong batch of The plant is ginormous, but the squashes are tiny. Had that happened a couple of years ago with one of my vegetables, and everything came so. Small because you don't have them. You don't have a male. Now I'm supposed to look at my damn plant. Am I supposed to know if a plant's male or female? For God's sake, you're a female and a male is no? Don't what? Well? I got to keep hearing this. We got to bring him back. Joke effort getting I've never heard before in my life. CAROLINEA. Kevin back. I can't wait to hear this planting all these years. I never knew you had to have a male and a female plant, did you. I do know that you've reached media squatch. I do know there's there's trees and stuff that helped pollinate. There's male and female pear trees, for example. Sure you can. You're supposed to have seahorse plants. Well they're still having they're still having babies. They're just tiny babies. Trans fruit I got. I got good tomatoes, them old trans fruits. Yeah, it must be the hybrids, the watermelon without seeds. Here's what I'd like to say. Hopefully Carolina Kevin gets back on. Hopefully. Maybe I should wait for him before I say it. But I'm pleased with the looks of the garden, and the cucumbers have been great. Everything's growing like a weed. Hmm. And I did something this year that I've never done before. I had planted a WildFly hours everywhere. Oh yeah, so the wildflowers are making the garden look scraggly. Gotcha, But what do you plant them? Because you do it at the river. Uh Well, a border of wildflowers is supposed to help keep deer out. Okay, so hello, yeah man, what happened? Now? I don't know it's working five? What are you doing? You? It was that talk of male male squash, female squash. I've never heard of such. Here's what I need to say that. I was hoping to have you on, Kevin, because I thought about you this morning. When I got up this morning, I picked my squash and it's I was so disappointed because I thought, well, certainly they're going to get bigger, and they never did. And now they started turning like really gold yellow, like they've been on too long. So I took them off. Well, it makes you appreciate our country so much, the farming that we do, in the gardening that we do. When you go in that grocery store, how many bad squashes do you ever see? How many bad tomatoes do you ever see? And your grocery store, my grocery store, and everyone in between, they're perfect. And I can't grow a perfect I mean, one out of five would look like something you would put in a grocery store. How do we do that? Kevin? You have to you have to make sure well, you just have to make sure that you. Right now, Trent, I'm gonna tell you I have tomato plants and I don't mind so any pictures, because I just sent you one a second ago. I have tomato plants that is six and a half foot tall. Yeah, and I picked beans for the last week. And I've never had a garden like I've got. But over the wintertime, I took stuff that I would normally throw in the trash and I threw it in the garden as a compost. But Triple nineteen fertilizer. In February, I put it on the garden, which it had leaves from the wintertime, and it had the stuff that I dumped in there over the wintertime and the Triple nineteen fertilizer, and I pieled it all up to February, and then in March I pielded it again and put Triple nineteen down. But my garden, this is the best garden I've ever had in my entire life. That's great, And it just you have to tend to it like. You would if you had toddler. You got to make sure that you're on top of things and weeding it. And there's not a weed in my garden right now. Are you out there talking talking to your plants. No, I just spent a lot of time in there. What in the world. I know what's happening. Come here? Little to me though, But like his picture, Now, that looks great. But those cucumbers look like pickling cucumbers? Is it you? Emma? Don't you say it to me? I'm sitting here watching you know what I said to myself. I said to myself, Kevin, this is the third time within five minutes that that. It then went straight off from you. I don't take it up. I think if you talk without taking a breath, it automatically cuts off. Now it's a good picture. It looks like it looks like you got pickling. Cucumbers, though not long cucumbers. Is that? Do you deal your own? I make my own pickles, but I also have the long ones birthless ones. Yep, so I got ones called street. Yes, you have to take care of your stuff. That ain't no different than anything else. If you don't pay attention to it and treat it, then it's not gonna sit there and flourish if you don't. Oh, guess what I did do it? You just mentioned something reminded me. I don't know how it reminded. Oh, I bought oranges. I haven't bought a real whole orange in a long time. But the reason I did it was because of the podcast. I like that, and I lit the orange is a candle and it worked. That thing was burning. It burned for nine hours. My life so hard if you don't. Yeah, but it smelled good in the house. Actually it didn't have much because I guess the fragrance would be from the oil, and olive oil wouldn't have the smell. I don't know. I thought it would too, but I don't. I don't smell things very good anyway, But I didn't notice the difference. But that damn wick burned for nine hours just by pouring olive oil in the half of an orange. I mean, you got to get the orange. You must say had COVID where you lost a sense of smell and taste. I never have had much of one, but. The it's been there. Orange work. I'm trying to remember what I was gonna say about that or anyway, had it worked. If you were ever in a bind, you know, and you were working, you had no power and you need some I think of you could light an orange. Hey, you got an orange, Ashley orange. And that orange and olive oil and it and it worked. I couldn't believe it. I was so happy. Did you like to pick. Mark orange? You glad? Yes? Banana? Yeah, aren't you glad? You're part. So back to the original question. Why does the fruit have to be male and female? Yeah? Why is a plant? Is that? While I'm getting well, it's like anything else. If you have a pear tree, it has to have a female and the male. It's how do you think I did think about that? People? Do you think we're alive? A male cucumber or a female cucumber? Yeah? I don't know how I would know that. I just have the bees policate. Let's let's go back to the science of of how we're here. We don't need to answer the birds and the bees. How would you know if it's a male or female cucumber? Okay, so each plant is its own way of fertilizing its own cell. So there in Virginia, male plant. Hold on, let me finish the dippy dappening. You don't know what's happening. Jack, Just let me finish. I'm sorry, don't hang up. If you if you don't have your bees to pollinate, you can take a Q tip and pollinate. Your own plants. But the bees is what is. Very important, because they produce. They fly down into that bloom, it sticks to their legs, they fly into the other bloom. And they pollinate it. Okay, you m O, while you're sitting there listening, look it up on your phone because Brian likes to do that whenever it looks all. I'm about to read it to you. Yes, yes, squash plants have both male and female flowers on the same plant. You do not need there. You do separate plants, one male and one. Female, but you do need busy bees or manual intervention to transfer pollen from the male flowers to the female. My man, he's a genius. That's why his garden is perfect. Yeah, that's why he's a gardener. Yeah, come here, little baby squash. I mean eventually, eventually, you guys lives will be better off just listening. That's why God gave you two ears and one male. Listen fights as much as you talk. I haven't seen a picture of the garden yet, though I need to get a picture of that. I've seen pictures of the produce from the garden. Can you picture him tickling his pickling? Well, I do like garden. I do like going out and eating and checking it out. But mine is only one row, for God's sakes, it's not like I'm farmer Brown. All right, you got any Oh, we've got picks picks. We're gonna get a picks picks pickle. By the way, the count Brian won last week. You had a good week. Last week. You only had sixteen points, which is crazy good. And then but you didn't have the winner. You had Eric Jones, which is a great pick is second place? Was he close to winning? Uh ten more laps than he probably does? He had the best car, no far, Well he didn't have the best No, no, he had to come back from so far. Yeah, he had the best car, no doubt. Well, we didn't need all the extra. He just asked you a question. And then Kevin took it on the chin last week with fifty seven. But right now the total points is I've got five fifty five, Kevin's got six to oh two, and you've got six sixteen. Okay, so we're getting there, coming coming. Back, all right? So who you got, cave We're at Pokono this week. The tricky I got mister Eric Jones. Eric Jone, Come on, you. Can't be taking my sleepers. And I got the old Uh. I guess I would say that he was probably the most lucky driver that is ever driven and hit that hard into a wall, which is Christopher bad. We didn't even mention that, but oh my god, that was disgusting. But it would make a good story for him to have that last week and come back and win next week. That's a good pick. And then I got my boy, old Bowman, Alex Bowman. Oh wow, that's a bat blast from the past. Who got me? I got Chris Buscher, he'ster Boucher. He's coming on yep. Eric Jones okay, and Carson Josovar, Yeah, that makes sense. He wanted The track that he won was kind of similar, isn't it? Talladega? Was that Tadega close the super Speedway. I've got a Denny Hamlin Blaney Jesus and I know those are two decent picks, so I went far out. I'm going j H Nima Chek. John Hummer. Yeah. Legacy Motorsports is hitting on something all of a sudden, don't you think is He teammates with Eric Jones. Oh good, And then they just picked up a new one. Riley Herps I think is moving over. To from Gibbs, I mean from Denny Hammon. Twenty three eleven two. Oh wow, Legacy, did you see who's racing for track House at Coronado? Yes, Magnuson, Yeah, Mason, that's great. I wish ESPN would figure that out. Sad news for NASCAR. I guess you saw where Josh Barry is not gonna be with Wood Brothers next year. Oh really yep? He had one good race and he just hasn't done much. Ye, but that that car. They just seem to never want to stick with somebody. Well, yeah, I mean it's probably best for both Josh Berry all get a rate ride somewhere, don't you think. I don't think so. Really like Harrison one before was Harrison Burton one? Yeah, they both won one race and they push them back, So he'll back, He'll be back in Junior motorsports. Is this the Great American Getaway? Four hundred? I hope? So that's what I'm getting ready to bet on. All right, what are your partying shots? So well? I was asking Trent about what what did y'all get ever? Seeing everything straight? Then at the cabin. Yeah, sure did. Got your garden playing it dawn now. Yep. Well, actually I didn't do much. It was I didn't do anything with the garden except plant wildflowers. Brad and yeah you put on Oh that's true, Brad. Uncle Perry and Brian did most of the work. Uncle, what would you do? I didn't get down there until Friday night, so I helped Saturday most of the day with the with the bathroom. Oh I got you, Brian. What would you ask for me earlier? Uh? Just for your parting words so we can wrap up the show, all. Wrapping it up. I just got something for Emma. M hm, yes, eimm. I woke up this morning, I said, you know, instead of getting mad at Emma waiting for a good day to happen, you know, waiting around ups and down, you know, I just sait, Look, we're gonna have, We're gonna have, We're gonna we're gonna have a good day. And all my Homer's gonna ride today and all these momies look flad today and all we're gonna do is get by today. We're gonna have a good day. Ain't nobody going crowd today, know him? Because they ain't nobody going Baturday. He's such an odd egg. Yes, he's our odd egg. All right, before we finish the show, do you want to a little bit of a sad note. I got a text from my mentor letting me know that a friend of mine, uh worked I don't know how many years worked with him, but became friends with him outside of work and actually ended up working at his house. Passed away unexpectedly a couple of days ago while I think on vacation, John Webb, you're a kidding no, all right, yeah, I say our age, my age. Yeah. John was the accountant and Wilson, and I mean we interacted with John for a long time. And then after I left Wilie Wilson, John did my taxes for me. And then when I started in construction, I ended up renovating his house. So he was two great boys. One ended up in Wyoming. I think it's still out there, but his wife Catherine, But yeah, wow, how haven't heard any details. Just thought I mention it. God, that's that's awful. Yeah. I just thought of him the other day because Audrey is having Carmen on July tenth. She gets twelve weeks of leave, and then Josh is going to get four weeks of leave, like they had this thing. Now I'm not exactly sure if I got the numbers right, but Josh is then going to do the parenting for a few more weeks where he gets leave to help take care of the baby. Of the beginning. John John Webb was the first person that I remember taking maternal. Leave as the male male. Yeah, I do remember that and taking care of their babies the first time, and I'd never heard of something like that before. Yeah. John was a good egg man. He was just like, I mean, you don't think of what is he from Wyoming? Well he was from MIAs something like that. Yeah, he had that. He had that Midwestern ethic. Oh yeah, you know. Yeah, he didn't get roued up about anything and just kind of good common sense. Yeah. I mean you think of accountants and you would think, you know, he wouldn't have a a personality, but he did. He was. He got me into kayaking. I remember, well, forget we went. I'm sorry, man, I just couldn't have never seen you in a kayakh And. He's like, he took them up to. Kayak. I forget the name of the ramp there. At least you make a cartoon of that soon as you drop into the water, like the very first one, you drop down and it's very dangerous. And he's like, I gotta start somewhere and I'm like, no, I don't have to start a here. Just walk down and jump in. It was scary, man. I wouldn't have done that. I refuse to get there. I just feel like you're pinned in with your legs. And I don't know that. I did enjoy it. I mean, obviously this is many years ago, but yeah, unfortunately had gone. I did not know that. Yeah I did. It's so weird because literally I'm driving and my text pops up and it says Ron Driscoll. And I hand my phone to Logan because he was in a passenger seat and I said, read that. I said, Ron, never text me until somebody dies. Wow. And he said, oh, it says, uh John Webb died. And I'm like, god, Ron, wow. Yeah. Well, Kyle Bush said, you never know, you never right, you don't know when it's oh uh this forgot about the end of the show. Yes, in the show. This was some Chris Lacks. He posted earlier this week on Facebook, not to us, but he posted on Facebook and I found that clip, and I love this is statistically who makes the best coaches? When you listen to it, I think you're gonna part of this is going to irritate you. But if you keep listening through it, you'll know what he means about it's not a he doesn't mean it's a democracy, but he means democratic principles. Yeah. Shout out to Chris. By the way, his daughter West Virginia, she's going to be going to the Oh wow, yeah. How did I miss that? That's really cool? All right, shout out Chris. All right, Well see you next week. No, who statistically the best coaches in the world are. Recent research analyzed what separates elite coaches from everybody else, and the answer it's going to challenge everything that you think you know about coaching. It's not the ones with the most experience, it's not the ones with the best credentials. It's not even the ones who were the best athletes themselves. This is what they discovered. It's probably gonna mess with your head a little bit. The best coaches, they have one trait that predicts success more than anything else. Supportive behaviors, not toughness, not discipline, Supportive behaviors. They use positive reinforcement, active listening, and constructive feedback. Research shows that this strongly correlates with team resilience. And collective efficacy. They create psychological safety where athletes can fail without fear, and this is what separates elite coaches from everybody else. They use democratic leadership styles. They don't just dictate, they collaborate. Studies show that democratic leadership positively predicts athlete engagement far more than authoritarian styles. They give athletes autonomy, involve them in decisions, and they build buy in instead of demanding compliance. But here's the trait that nobody expects. Emotional intelligence, self awareness, empathy, interpersonal skills. The best coaches adapt to diverse personalities and they ignite performance through understanding, not intimidation. Most people think that great coaches are the tough, no nonsense disciplinarians who break you down just to build you up, but the research proves otherwise. The traits that create elite. Coaching are all developable. Supportive behaviors through intentional communication, democratic leadership through shared decision making, and emotional intelligence through self awareness. The coaches who fail, they're not less knowledgeable, they just lack the emotional intelligence to connect, the humility to collaborate, and the patience to support instead of control. If you guys want daily practices to develop the exact traits that research proves create elite coaches, this is exactly what be better is built for. Comment the word better for the strategies that are going to get you from authoritarian to transform transformational,
