What was the topic? There was recent like a last week or something. Okay, I had to check that out. It's still loading. I took by the way on the Counts Realty and auction web. They got the coolest looking house. I mean, it is a house. I even asked Bill about it. Look at this thing. It's in Concord. It's a house. It's like a castle. It does. It's kind of interesting. I wonder what something like that? We'll go for eight thousand square feet? Good lord? Yeah? All right, moving on backwards and forths. All right, do you want to tell everybody why you're Russian? I'm not Russian, I'm American. We will be having a guest coming up on a TikTok shout out around five fifteen. Yeah, I got it. Got what live up? Oh butter? What butter of anyway, it's our food guy from a couple of weeks ago. If you remember the Peanuts, Yeah, Circus Peanuts. And when I talked to him, just to give you a heads up, I told him that we happened to also do the Mount Rushmore of foods that suck, and since he's done so many, if he could come up with his own mount rushmore of the worst ones that he's done. So he said he would work on that. That's awesome. Yeah, very cool guy seemed to be cool. All right. We had a quick trip this past weekend to Raleigh, Okay travel basketball. Logan is coaching sixth graders. Wow, which would ever? Said? Twelve of you? I think I haven't watched much of it, but it's last year. I think I saw one tournament this year. We decided they had canceled the race at Pulaski, so they're like, hey, let's just go watch. And yeah, it was neat man tons of basketball. Like how many courts in one location? Twenty some wow under one roof? Yes, those things are amazing. Yeah. Where was it at? And nice too? Where was Raleigh Convention Center? Okay? Yeah, downtown yep. So anyway, the forced fire, congratulations? Then they finished third. They represent it well, I mean you're playing some high, high quality. Yeah, and out of that group, I think you got like three from Jefferson Forest, three from Liberty, maybe a heritage kid or easy Glass kids. So I mean it's really good to see good mix compete outside of this area. Yeah. I always loved that because if they're in sixth grade, you know, they'll be hitting middle school against each other, which is fun. When they had high school, they play against each other during the winter time, which is so much fun. And then team up like they can't wait for the season regular season end so they can start doing practice again and get back together kind of like as the All Star team. It's crazy. Yeah, So anyway, kudos to them. Enjoyed watching. So that's what we did this weekend. Yeah, and your weekend cousin David. Yeah, I had the little reunion that he does every year around fourth of July, which is great. I'm trying to think. I don't think we had anybody pass this year. That's one of the things you're starting to do now. We're at that age where the generation above us different side of the family. Yeah, so and that comes up next month in about a few weeks we do her memorial. But yeah, it was good. My family is so much fun. David's hilarious. He's hilarious, My brother's hilarious, you know, my mom and dad. It just it's NonStop. Last and what's really cool is we go up Friday before the real action occurs on Saturday, so do a lot of reminiscent. He pulled out a family reunion book for us photograph you know, like the old days, you we didn't have phones with cameras and photos on the phone, so you would print them and you'd put them in photograph books. I can't think of the album's photo album. He pulled his photo album out, and there's a picture of me, my brother and him at Radio Island splashing in the water on that beach. That's so cool. Yeah, yeah, So what does this generation do when they're at a family reunion They pull out an old phone. Oh yeah, no doubt, no, I'm not. I wonder what comes along because, like you said, you grab an old photo album that had pictures in it from thirty years ago. Well he's even doing what I do now digital photos. Now that Carmen is out, Audrey can send me digital photos in my basement there and I can get. Up to date photos that twenty years from now. Yeah, when you're looking, what do you I mean, because you know, I don't know that I can find photos from you know, twenty years ago. Yeah, on my phone. Yeah, I guess. I think I've seen advertisements where you can digitally put all that stuff together. Yeah, so maybe that's and then you carry that to your reunion. Hey, a little clodge. All right, Emma, go back from the beach on Saturday. It was grand, right, Yeah, you were at the beach all week. That's cool. Did you relax any or was it all just go, go go? I went a little over. I always got agenda. I read eight books. Oh my gosh, So you relax. Why do you have to go to the beach and do that? You do that at home. Yeah, but I sat put my chair by the water all day. There's nothing better, nothing better, nothing better for me. It's music. But still, do you have any part? Did you partake in any drinks? Yes? My sister and I and brother in law went down to the bar that's right below us, and I got. Something non what it wasn't it? It was a strawberry shortcake I had. Like it was frozen, and I had vanilla vodka ice remix. So you did get a drink it was, yeah, but it was mocktail. No, but it wasn't too sweet for you. No, I didn't taste alcohol. That was great. You should try a white Russian. I think you would like that. That's a good star. It's pretty good. I don't like tequila. I've learned. No, that would be Mexico. It would be called a white Mexican. Yeah, it's a good start. I remember drinking. I wait, white Russian. I think it's like khalula. What is the I don't even know, to be honest with you, but it's good. I like, I don't taste alcohol. Yeah, that you wouldn't. Yeah, I think you would like it. Yeah, all right. This week, Reagan celebrates her fifteenth nice birthday. So yeah, they're going to mass and nothing water parking. Yeah, y'all still go to your timeshare. Ashley did that earlier this year with one of her girlfriends. Okay, it's been a week there. I've had no vacation this year. This has been atrocious. But I'm going to Alaska for a very good while, so I'm not going back, dude. So we fly out of Dulles and my wife legitimately asked me why are we flying out of DC and not ron over at Lynchburg. I don't know. One, it's a direct flight to Alaska or to Seattle. Yeah, but two it was like six hundred dollars. Oh yeah, first class as opposed to two thousand dollars first class. Yeah yeah, I do that RB, and so does Rilly. Would Riley have been closer? I tried them all. Yeah, DC the dullest straight there was, I guess because Alaskan Airlines flies out of Dallas, Okay. And so anyway, it was a good deal. And so I was thinking, because parking cost so much, I was like, let me just see what Amtrak costs. Right, what do you think of ticket from Lynchburg to Union Station in DC and then you can take the Silver Line out to the airport? Bucks it was twenty one dollars. Yeah, yeah, I did that memory we had done that. I couldn't believe it. Riley could try right, could ride here for eight bucks's from Charlesville. Yeah. I just couldn't believe how cheap that one. I thought about it. But then I was like, man, luggage, luggage, Well that. And there's so many things that happened on a train rail. I know so many events where a tree has fallen, a cow is on the rail. It keeps you from getting to where you got to go. So if you got to be at a destination at a time. I would definitely drive. I'll just drive and spend the money. Man like you, Yeah, your brother, I think he would be, you know, calculating what does. It cost he tried to Alaska. Yes, that's a great with a camper anyway, and get a canoe. That would be the cruise. What are you doing? Uh? Riley reminded me she was at the beach when because Carmen came unexpectedly, so Riley never got to see Carmen yet. So she said, are we doing You're doing anything this weekend? I was like no. She could? Said can we go down and see Carmen? And I was like, heck, yeah, let's go. That's on my radar now. So we're going to ride down Friday and Riley, we'll get to see her niece and I'll get to see my granddad. How long are you staying? Just uh, We're going. We have to leave early Sunday morning because Riley has to come back to work. That girl is a little workerholic. She's I mean, she's no Emma. But outside the Cone, she has a place up in Charlesville that she waitresses, and there is something else. Outside of the Cone. Oh, it's the ice cream place and ice cream it is the bomb place. It's a great place for a kid to work. She makes money, hand over her fist. And they got a lot of ice cream places. This this guy makes his own cookies. Rookies, rookies, and then used to be that Mason place was a crazy Mason. Yeah that's gone. Ice cream cream Joe, what's the one that's right outside the forest? Oh, monkey Joe's. Yeah, yeah, there's a bunch of them all right. Ice cream's good. I stopped dairy Queen last night. I'm still a dairy queen dipped cone thing. It's hard to beat dairy Queen. It's just good. What are you looking at me? Sorry? Oh, I might be on the lookout for a phone call. Oh yeah, no, I'm from a TV. I'm holding out for that. I note I'm going to the lake this weekend. So do you have a specific maybe that should be a Mounts ice cream flavors. Oh yeah, so last night, I just I've never done before. No, the dip cone. I would, I would try it. I'm not afraid of it. It's a I did a cherry dipped cone. It was bright red. I looked like a kid coming out of there. Oh it's now with cherry dipped. Yeah, okay, holy cowies the butterscotch. Oh, I would definitely be all over I'd be all over that. And then they could get those dilly bars. Yeah, they got a new flavor, which my kids would love. But I never was a big fan that cereal cinnamatas crunch they have that? Do they have circus peanuts? They do not. I would not get that. I can't wait to Uh do you have his name? Because I don't. I just he just goes by food JV. He said, Javante. Okay, but he goes by j V. Gotcha. Ye. Well that's cool. So we'll talk to him in just a minute. Efforting that as we speak. If you want, I can find and maybe I could just play it on. The heym watch out. We'll find he's like from a different. Times I did. I did tell him Eastern Standard time and he just texted me about to give you a guy as a call. That's funny. Here's what he sounded like. Seventy seven. If there's anything you want to see me try from your childhood that you didn't like, put it in the comments and if I see it I get to it. Today we got one from the comments. Today we got Bronze Viga. I hope I said that right, Bronze Viga. I know it's. German because I played over there and I saw this a lot. I just never tried it, but we got that. Now. I've been getting a lot of DM saying tried on a cracker, So I'm gonna try it, playing first and then I'm gonna try it. All right, Welcome to the program, JV. How you doing? H doing well? Man? We love watching your videos. We've can't wait to dive into some of these foods that you've been trying over the years. How long JV? This is Trent? I started watching it. We do a segment on the show, it's coming of a TikTok shout out people that we run across on TikTok or like really cool that we just kind of want to start following. And I got on your feet. We're in Bedford, Virginia, which is near Lynchburg, Virginia, and we had this podcast. And first off, where do you do this from? Where do you live? Oh? I'm out of North Carolina. I just do it like in my home, just sitting on the couch right out of North Carolina. Well you do it just kind of sound like you're from North Carolina. But I started watching because dude, this is crazy. We do it. We also have a mount Rushmore that we do and we just do pick different subjects. And it was the same week we did a mount Rushmore of foods that you still won't eat. And you know, we're close to fifty five, sixty years old here on the show, but there's still foods we won't eat because we didn't like them when we were kids and we won't even try them again. So we did a top five a few we wouldn't eat, and right right after the show, or yeah, it was right before the show. I looked in there you were, and you were trying on two of the ones that I can't stand. It was the Orange Circus Peanuts and black Cluck Crush. Yeah, I still won't eat. Oh yes, sir, yes sir, those are terrible. What what made you come up with this idea? How'd you start this? Honestly, I was just sitting down on my couch one day just watching watching reruns of the old sports and then I just it just popped in my head because I see a bunch of people doing like videos of them trying actual foods or going to restaurants trying foods, and then I was like. It is the idea just popped in my head. Like a lot of people that I know, a lot of family, they all called me a picky eater, and I always tell them like, I'm not a picky eater. I don't consider myself a picky eater. I always give everything a try, but if my taste buds say no, then it's just no. And so it kind of just popped in my head and then I just ran with it. And then I made a video, an original video, just kind of like asking like I don't want to take no one's idea. I don't want to steal no one's idea. If anyone came up with this comment, let me know. And people were just comment just telling me like just do it, just do it. And so from there, I did it, and then it just kind of it just kind of took its own little life, and then I just kept going with it. Was there a specific food that you were expecting to be horrible, but you were like, wow, this isn't bad. Oh yeah, Actually the video I just did the bronze viser. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Like I was so shocked by that because of the texture of it, and I like, for some reason, like I'm really heavy on texture, Like the texture is not right to me. I for some reason, my mind just doesn't like it. And honestly, when I tried it. I was like, this is actually pretty good. Like the texture didn't bother me, it didn't throw me off. It was actually pretty good. So you said in that video that you were in Germany. What were what were you doing in Germany at one point in time? You said previous? Okay, Yeah, So once I graduated college, I played basketball overseas for like close to three years and I traveled. One of the places I played was Germany. So when I was over there, I got kind of like in doctrine with it, like a lot of their dishes because the kiosk over there, a lot of American dishes are super expensive, so you ain't trying to spend all that money. You eat with the locals eat right. What uh? Where'd you play ball in high school in North Carolina? In college, I played high school. I played at a school called a few m Comings High School for high school public school, and in college, I went to a D one and then I transferred and went to another D one. So at first I was in Presbyterian College in South Carolina, and then I went JUCO to a school in Wilmington. Nice. I forgot the name in the school and women that we were called the Sea Devils. And then I finished my collegiate career at Middle Tennessee State University and I played there for my last two years. Wow. Very cool. Well, just for those that are listening, your handle on, I guess that's what they called on TikTok is Hotah hotel and it's his hotel twenty one after that. So if anybody wants to look, these things are hilarious, and I can go down the rabbit trail. And what I really like is you put down at the bottom of the screen what it is that you've eaten. And so when I get to one that I like, oh my god, he did one that was a beef tongue, and I was like, I gotta see what this one's about, dude. That was one that you shocked me. You started eating. I couldn't wait for you to like spit it back out in the napkin like you do for some of them, and dude, you just kept chilling it. Yeah you ended up Yeah that. Yeah, that surprised me too, because. Like beef tone, you hear it is just like wait a minute, tongue really and then it tasted good. I was so shocked. I was like, geezus, this is actually pretty nice. What cracks me up to is he will smell it before he eats it, and sometimes the reaction that he gives, I'm like, oh my god. And then why do you always give it two chances? Because some of those things there's no way I could do a second one. Oh man, I have this weird thing where I have to do everything and even increment. I can't help it, Like I have to do everything like or it has to be it has to be an even number for me. Like if it's all, I'll have to like just be like, you know what I gotta do, warm, warmer. And I've always been like that. I've always been like that where I have to do everything and even numbers very cool. And when we get done with this with our show, we do it weekly. And so what I'll do is when we get this post and she posts it the next day, I'll send you a link link to this too. But what we like to do is when we do these things shoutouts is follow back up like weeks and see how many more followers you got because A you are an influence to me because now I want to try some of these things that I would never have travelfore. So we u and we do. Man, the tiktype world is just so really cool. We've had some great guests on and it's been it's been really cool to follow you here and we can't wait to see the next things that you try. Do you have a up and coming view of your next thing that you're going to try? Oh? Yeah, actually, so I have a video dripping tomorrow. Yeah. So I tried an old I call it an old school snack because I always saw old people eating it. But sig Newtons. We got. We have friends that give We did the mount Rushmore the Worst Things to Eat, and that was on the list that we did. Funny and uh and I sort of agree with that. That's that was a tough one to like. But sometimes after you get into it, you're just like, it's not that bad. What if you had a mount Rushmore? Yeah, if you amount Rushmore, what you've tried so far for what would you say the five worst things are that you've that you've tried. Okay, so from five to one, with five with one being the worst. Yeah. Five, I got tix feet in the jar tick seat and yeah, it was just so sour. It's just then some of the feet had still had hair on it. I was like, oh gosh, there used to be a staple at every store. Yeah, you'd have a jar of them. Yeah. Man, it's just I couldn't give in it. And then number four I actually we just talked about the other two. At four and three, I got Circus teanuts and black liquorice. That that black liquorice was god awful. I was like, man, but people were in the comments saying that they really love it. Oh no, I don't. See how it's funny. You said something in that that I mean, I cackled out loud when you did the black liquors. You looked back down at the package and you said, who keeps this company in business? Yeah, man, I don't understand, but they do it very well. Because that bag was a little expensive. So I was like, oh, but at number two I had number two, I have the fried oysters. One that I did. I didn't like that at all. It was way too like once you get past the crunch the slime of the oyster, I was like, oh no, yeah, I couldn't do that. And then number one, I had a beef trite. But people were telling me that I tried it wrong, but the instruction said I could eat it straight out the can. And when I try these things, I try to eat it before I mask it with a flavor. That way I get the true authentic taste of it. But that was just way discussion. It was like dousting, like old milk, and it was really thick. It was like, oh, yeah, that that made my stomach curt. What's it called beef trite? Wow? Yeah, beef trite? Yeah, I already know what that is. Yeah, man, would I would not recommend y'all try that. That's awesome. Well, thank you so much for joining us today on the program. We'd love catching up with you and keep making your videos and we'll keep promoting the heck out of you. Thank you again. Oh yes, sir, no, thank you for having me on. Man, I'm glad I could try to get you all to go out there and try some of these things. So it's always good to see y'all making people smile and laugh. That's always good. That's great, all right, take care, all right, thanks jav. Okay, I have a go on. Yep, that was good. That's god beef. Try google. That sounds familiar. What do you bull. Lining from the stomach of animals, most commonly cows. If it's beef. Yeah, you know what I thought about it when we were talking. I would love because he said the old school snack. I would love for him to try my memo's favorite, which was the corn bread and buttermilk. Oh, I know exactly what you're talking. They would do it like in a glass like they take a spoon. Yes, you know, I love it in milk, but I can't do it in buttermilk. It's disgusting. You could put bread and liquid. Oh yeah, that's like Joey chestnut. That's hilarious. Oh man, I just love I hated that we missing the week we were doing that. Yeah, worst whatever, but you know, had to have a grand baby and getting back. But that's really cool. Man. This community, the TikTok group is really cool. Yeah. Yeah, so we'll keep that moving. Yeah, next week we'll try a new one. I thought when you gave me five, I wasn't thinking about rush warm. When you signal five, I thought you meant like it's been minutes. No, no, that you're trying to get rid of them. And I thought you were gonna forget. Yeah. I was afraid, Like I was like, no, And then you. Told me that nothing worse than pulling out that was TikTok. I was like, uh, can your granddaughter already speak? Oh my god, that was the worst timing ever. Oh, that was just the next thing on TikTok. All right, moving on to this day in history, This day in history, how about this in nineteen forty one, Howard Florey and Norman Heatley all right, uh, freeze dried mold cultures and that's what ended up being penicillum. Huh So in nineteen forty one penicillum was created. Wow. We talk about all the time, how drugs, how the people before that made it, Yeah, like a toothache or whatever. Well, I mean in the colonial days, if you made it to thirty five, that was an old person. Yeah, you know what I mean. So it's been incredible. I heard something, by the way, on this the advancement of AI. Bill Brant was telling me this, the Count's Auction and Realty leader. He went to a seminar that said, if anyone anyone in the world lives five more years, they will live to be one hundred. So the AI technology and medicine and how to keep you living longer, the advancements are so far advanced that in five years they will have anything that will all of us will live to be one hundred years old. Huh yeah, great, yep. I'd like to look forward to another forty eight years. Very good. Two thousand and six Twitter was started. You won't be able to remember it. No, true, but hopefully that is something for that. That Ginko Biloba. Was that still one of my favorite lines of all time. Yeah. Was that comedian who was smoking and he said, they keep telling me to quit smoking, and he's like, they keep telling me it takes five years off your life. And he goes, I'm shooting for the pisson and shitting on myself for years. Yeah, I'll be around for that. Yeah. So twenty six, twenty years ago, Twitter started crazy. Isn't that crazy? Do you use Twitter? No? Occasionally? I love it, I know, and It's one of those things where I think if I did, I would get used to it. But it's like Instagram. I very rarely hit that one. I can't do. That was too many pictures for me. But what I love about Twitter is like news, It's a lot of reading and after a while, your algorithm is the same people that keep giving you the latest news. But there's so many other things out there, like you know, I hate it, like the what's the one now, Emma, I think it's a twitch and like there's so many different ones apparently, I guess other countries use more of like steak. Is it s t a k E. I think it's a big one. Oh that's one of the one of the formula one. Yeah, but I think it's just like a TikTok. Okay, it's crazy, but I've heard twitch a lot with musicians. Emma. Your generation, we're big snappers Snapchat, yes, yes, are y'all still snapchatters? Or do you guys grow into getting out of snapchat yet? I mean my. Kids still snap Yeah. Okay, that's the one that I can't really get into. It's instant. That's what's so nice about the pictures. Everything is no waiting. It's instant. I mean, that's what David and I do, so I don't have to talk ye pictures. Yeah, occasionally I'll get a chat from Carlos. Yeah. Out, Okay, it's just cool. I mean, it's just it's cool, all right. Moving on to drama. Yeah, all right, So finally, yeah, we got to watch the I think it was the season finale of The Dunton's, So let. Me ask you that. Yeah, when you're watching them and they're only dropping one per week, how do you know when you're at the end. Because I think we had missed a weekend and so I was like and then I turned it on and I was like, well, crap, then that's it. Oh, because you were expecting it would have been two more episodes, but there's only one, so that must have been the last one. So I need to verify that now that you say something watched me thinking it was. The Marty said that she's tried to start dunton and she wasn't as big a fan of it because it was too much drama or something. Oh dude, no, it's it's every bit of better than to me. Ah, like it is riveting. Yeah, and it takes twist and turns and everything you can think of, and you're like, whoa it ended the third Yeah, so nine episodes, I think it was. Yeah, that'll be my Winter one. So what I'm curious about. I'm not going to give anything out. But in season two'nlike you, the way this ended, I'm wondering if you're giving it out. Casey from the original Yellowstone the brother he does, but I'm wondering if he doesn't make an appearance on this one, because this one has gotten downright good. Uh so Uh. Also, we finished I Will Find You Yes, which was terrific. That's really good. Yeah. It was a guy trying to find his son, thought he had accident, he thought he had murdered his own son, and then. It's a pretty convoluted story, but really good. Yeah. A couple of times I thought when I'm watching it, this could have been done in six episodes instead of a Sure, you know what I mean. They always do the stretch out things. But overall, I'd say it was worth watching. Uh. And I watched a movie. Yeah, Like, I had a chance to watch a movie and it's God, that's the first time I've seen a movie in a long time. Yeah, and I'm not a big fan of both after actors, but it was terrific. And that was Matthew Damon and Ben Affleck. No, I like those two. It's called The Rip. Yeah, have you seen it? I can't remember, right, you will love it. That's fairly new. It's not old. I don't think you know me. I can't remember. But it's about drugs and stuff. So it was very all over that. I'll chuck that out. Yeah, it was. Like I had does this hay twenty twenty six? Yeah, it is new. H It's on Netflix. So you don't like it? They look jacked. Yeah, it was a really good So who is the scroll over? Yep? Hm, I don't see you. Oh yeah, yeah, never mind, I'll see it. Okay. So as far as movies go, we talked about it. I haven't seen anything in trauma. I really, I don't know what I've been doing. Well, sure, having fun and yeah, you've been doing a lot outside, and I guess if i've watched TV, it's been soccer to watch. Oh man, it's been great. And then. But remember the movie that you guys got mad about that I didn't remember that y'all recommended. It was Old Henry. Yes, who's the last person in our friend group that you'd want to sit down and watch a movie about? I mean, I want to watch a movie with Chris. Okay, that's probably a better answer than the one or second. Brad is who I was thinking, Oh yeah, because first off, he doesn't want to sit down do anything. And secondly, but he heard me talking about Old Henry with Grayson. Because Grayson likes things, and if Grayson likes something, Brad might watch it. Well, Brad said, well, let's go down to the camper and watch it. While we were down to David's. We watched that thing and he loved it as much as we did. What a good movie. It was really good. Well, that's good that Brad y'all get to bond over a movie. Is there any chance that he's listening to the show live? Grayson might Grayson? So if Grayson's at the campground. Of course he's at the crampground. On's he ever Brad or a camp to Grayson had a camped with. Well, somebody's got to do all the work. Yeah, yeah, oh me, all right?

You know what gets me air journalism before you write the headline, yeah, which is we know US did launch strikes and we know we see them hitting things. They always respond with what Iran did, and it's always they Iran claims, yeah, well, did it happen or did it not? Exactly your news? Why can't you report that right? I don't need you to claim it, find out, verify your sources. I'm watching sky News because we've talked about this. If you watch the nightly news and there's a war that was supposed to be so big and so important, was Russia going into Ukraine? Do we know where the Russian troops are today on the map, no clue, We have no idea. But Sky News does do some of that, so they follow it. So they've been doing the Iran and Trump thing. But I'm having to listen to the people that are in Britain that hate Trump, and the guy literally says, it looks like they've only let twenty ships across today. Well, with only twenty ships, obviously, Iran controls the straits of horror moves And I'm like, that is not reporting at all. You didn't say what last Sundays were, you know what I mean? It could be Sunday that they don't move. Yeah, maybe the ports aren't pumping oil. You just it's so it's bored journalism awful. It is awful, all right. NBC News Trump Administration Live updates. AG nominee Todd blanche faces scrutiny at high stakes Senate hearing. Why is it all right? So I'm just saying, yeah, do we even know under the Bide administration what hearing was being had for a confirmation hearing? And it sure as hell wasn't high stakes, very rarely every pick is high stakes, right? Why? Yeah? Why is it high stakes? Don't we don't we own the Senate? Yes? Pass it? Good? Yeah, just can't do you mean Mitch McConnell will make a vote, well, Lindsey Graham or his daughter, no, his sister sister? Yeah, oh yeah, she'll definitely be voting. You think she'd be there to answer absolutely? Okay? Yeah? Uh? Us or this is CBS News US announcing strike on Iran in the daytime as war rages on. So we've had to follow that. But I did see some pretty uh devastating that were shooting a lot of things. So, dude, I saw something last week that I hadn't even heard about before a month ago. Bone drunk boat drones. I didn't even know we had them. And we took a boat drone and we just blew up docks. Well, they ain't got any ships to kill anymore, so they just go to the docks where they're launching the I from. The only attacks that Iran has given is against their neighbors. Yeah, and if you're their neighbors, like, at what point in time do you go, wait a minute, they don't have the army they used to have. Yeah, maybe we should just join forces and say the hell with them. You know, it's gonna be interesting how the next six months work out there. Yeah, m all right, Hey, TikTok shout out on the TikTok shout out? Do you have a TikTok shoutout? Or we just did that was we did the interview. So let me ask you this, would you want to try to interview the bird call boy? You know what I'm talking about? Autistic kid. Bird call? Oh my god, sure, I don't know, man, I don't know about putting the kid on and yeah, and then he's got these ticks that I don't know if he could, I don't know. He can do some damn bird good bird calls. Yeah, we'll just highlight him about that one. We did highlight, so that's fine. We'll move on to somebody else. We'll do mountain lion calls. I've got some, I swear. I don't know how some of these things end up in my TikTok algorithm, Like I have no my brother, he and I must be on the same page because he literally texted me something the other day. And it's a guy that shows up on my TikTok. Him and his wife. She makes dinner for him every night, and every night he comes in and wow, look at that and he describes his meal and it's dude, is so in. They're literally on the border I think of meth South. No. No, no, they're really nice people. But it's Kentucky and Virginia like westw you know, up in that holler or whatever. Yeah, but anyway, he has a saying where he goes, that's a man's meal. Well, Kevin texted me that the other day when I send him a picture of that trout that I'd cooked, and he's like, wow, that's a man's meal, And I responded, don't tell the neighbors, because that's what he always says. I don't want to share with the neighbors. Anyway. How does that crap end up on? By? Well, y'all are related, y'all have the same interests. It's funny anyway. Yeah, we'll do another TikTok shout out next week. Yeah. Right now, moving on to sports. It's time for sports. So who do you think is listening live that's going? Who won the soccer match? Is there anybody who doesn't know at this point? No? I don't know. Oh you shut up all right? World Cup? Yeah it's still great, Like every match to me has just been a dog fight. Yeah. Yesterday Spain beat France to reach the finals and Argentina will face them in the final. Very good. I know they were up two to one, but I didn't it was still time going, so yeah. So they hold on to when they were down one nothing with the ten minutes ago maybe and was able to Oh MESSI dude, the messy magic boot man. That dude, dude, you had said it a couple of weeks ago. He's like, we just don't have that player or players that can pass and catch and move the ball the way these other teams do. I watched Spain against France and I was amazing, like I have been following Spain, yeah, And I kept saying, why is nobody talking about Spain? Uh huh, Like all we heard France, Argentina, England like these other teams, and I'm like, dude, well they were the favorite. They weren't against France. You know why. I'm saying they were the favorite to win the World Cup. But how are you not favored to beat France if you're a favorite to win the World Cup? Because favorites, I mean, the odds change, and a lot of people put money on France because they started watching mboppy and they got the m Poppy. But before the World Cup started, Vandol had Spain as the author. Well that's what I didn't understand is the announcers everybody was saying France is by far the favorite, and I'm like, dude, I'm watching a team that has only allowed one goal in the whole thing. You're telling me they have the longest winning streak in soccer right now, you're telling me that they won the europe Cup just two years ago. Yeah, and somehow France is the favorite. Dude, they looked, they made France look average. Yeah, I'm missing that's that's my beef. I don't see any of these I know. So in the Argentina game, yeah, it was. It was back and forth both teams. You know how usually one team seems to always have it in the offensive end. Yeah, but this one was just both like back and forth, back and forth. England got a really cool goal and then Argentina was able to counter later on with a really really nice goal. And then MESSI just wow, an unbelievable pass to a guy that had a header. And that was all she wrote. So you have Argentine in Spain in the finals. Argentina and Spain, so your. Gripe is both. They've been playing these marquee games at three o'clock in the afternoon. We're hosting the damn thing. Why are we cow towing to Europe? So emma look it up real quick. If it's three o'clock here, what is it in England? Eight eight o'clock at night? Well, yeah, they're doing it for them sure, we're hosting the damn thing. When the Australian Open happens, they don't make they make us wake up at three in the morning to go watch a tennis match. I hate it. And if they don't, it's because the US market drives it. Here's one more example of the anti not even say anti America. It's like everybody cow towing to the international let's do it for europe bs. I can't say I've been fortunate that I have a TV at work. Most of us don't know, and I was riveted by it. Put it on at five o'clock so at least I can catch the second half. I'm still gonna stick with it. You got to fix this stupid off sides. It kills the game. Yeah, I'm in agreement with that kills it. Yeah. Like I saw a really cool TikTok of a guy saying, what's the big deal if you got rid of it, and there were so many people saying, well, the scores would be eleven to ten. No, no, no, I disagree with that. Yes, if you got rid of off sides altogether. I keep saying, dude, stop saying that hockey has it right. Yeah, you have an offensive zone. Why once you pass in your offensive zone, there is no off sides. Yeah, it's not going to create eleven to nine. That will create five on four, five to four maybe, Yeah, which, by the way, isn't that what you want? It's the purest or you want to see zero zero. Yeah, Like the announcer said the other day, Spain had lost a match or something, but it's not counted as a loss because it was in extra time. Yeah, what of course it is a loss, right, you lost? Yeah? But yeah, the one arm over, you know what I mean, the toe that's over. It's awful. It's that's not sports, it's awful. Yeah, you spend all that money for whatever that technology is. Yes, put a line on the damn field. You're on the offensive zone. There is no off side. I'll go for that. It's just it's dumb. Yeah. Okay, moving on to NASCAR. Okay, a lot to talk about there. They were in hot Atlanta this past weekend. Nobody's hot. Hey, speaking of the all sides thing, why wouldn't they just try it in something that's not the World Cup? Well, I've said, we're in America. Why can't we just try what we want to try? It. Yeah, do it here at Major League Soccer and let it see what it looks, see how it works out. I said two things, Okay, I want to see we'll go back to this. I want to see them put the ball in the dead center, and I want France on this side, and I want Argentina on this side. Right. If they're playing, and whoever gets to the ball first gets the ball. That's top the X games. Do you remember that XFL. Yeah, but there's a lot of strategy to that. You go running everybody up there, one person gets it, you got no defenders. Well, what's wrong with the kickoff? What's wrong with the start? And it to one person to kick off? How was that? You flip a Coreen? Yeah? Literally not. I've never heard one person complain about how the game starts all sides all sides. Definitely, something could be done differently there because that that's just laying to lose because a toe was it's behind somebody's ankle. Yes, yeah, I mean it's awful. Yeah, all right. NASCAR, Okay, Hotlanta. Hotlanta is usually one of the best races of the year because it's so fast and everything about it is wonderful. U now they can't help the rain obviously, showers and everything that came through there. But I'm like, you have the damn race on Saturday night. It was a night race, yeah, so why have it Sunday night when everybody got to go to work on Monday. Half the damn thing on Saturday night and then if it has to go into. Sunday Sunday afternoon? Right, But were you not impressed at the replays? And Tyler Panel had posted what it looked like the last two laps from the stands? Yes? Was it not impressive? How full the stands were still at two in the morning or whatever it was in the morning. Did you know you're gonna get a unbelievable It was a three hour rain delay and the people stayed. I was too exhausted from the weekend. It I couldn't do it. But it was an amazing finish. Yeah, it really was another Atlanta amazing finish Ryan Blaney. So I tell people now that are not NASCAR fans that are interested in what NASCAR is, if you're going to pick a track to watch, watch the Atlanta. Oh, absolutely, it's so good. So Ryan Blaney was the winner. Yes, Bubba Wallace got penalized. He was second, and then they pushed him back right. Yeah, he went to twenty ninth for going below the yellow line to beat Carson Joseovary. Carson Joseovar finished third, And. What did you tell me? His excuse was going below the yellow line? Why he could shouldn't still be? He said he was third when he went below the yellow line, and he still finished third. Yeah, so he didn't advance his position? Yeah, dumb, Yeah, absolutely so. Yes, what's crazy about that is, dude, Carl as much. I know you saw this because I think you and I talked about this, because it was a round delay the freaking announcers to stop fill time to tell Carson Joseovar what he asked to do. Jeert, all of them, all of them. Are doing it now, and I'm so tired of it. And you know why I'm tired of it. I listened to the audio this week and I laughed my head off. Tommy Baldwin, I don't know if you remember him. He used to be Creachy for Woodburg. So he's on the show Door Bumper Clear where they talk NASCAR, and he ripped Carson. You know, a couple of weeks ago about being reckless and stupid or whatever, and then he goes, okay, I'm changing my mind. And he said that he kept watching Carson in the back of the field like O half throttle. He said, I don't need telemetry. I can hear it. And he said, I'm saying, why is this kid not you know? And he said, I got in and ask this spotter and he said, we're arguing over which car number to choose, whether it's Richard Petty or Jimmy Johnson. I'm not joking. He said, whichever car they chose was what lap he decided to go. Okay, he was just hanging out and then he said, let's go Jimmy Johnson. And so at lap forty eight, he said, he drove right to the trunk, right to the front, Like this kid is so talented that he could do that. Yeah, and he's like he's so fast, and he's like I watched it and it was like a stroke of genius watching this and yet I hear that, and I go, man, that's awesome to hear. And then I get this kid needs to settle down. He needs to he's got to earn the respect of his snow. He doesn't. No, he doesn't. He doesn't need your respect. And then for Jeff to talk about earn Hart. Oh, when he wrecked you, he knew how to come put his arm around you. Yeah, Jeff, I promise you were never in his radar. Yeah. God, I just Jeff Burton. I'm sir irritated with him. I was so hoping that he would be gone. Thank god he's not in the studio. I mean, thank god he's not in the booth. They've relegated him down to the studio, and you know, he until it changes, you know, he can't stand that. When NBC starts in a couple of weeks, you know he's going to be back down in the booth. But and anyway, that whole group, I mean maybe people like him or whatever, but either they're so pansy, especially the tard Oh my gosh, he has I've noticed he's gotten of the two people that talk more. This year, he's been noticeably less than Earnhardt. That has definitely switched. Somebody somewhere has told him to shut the f up. Somebody needs to tell Junior to stop telling me what the driver is going to do next. Yeah, well he's gonna take the highline and he's gonna get that position back, and then he does something totally different. Junior will say, well, I guess his cars working better on the bottom. Well, don't tell me what he's gonna do. I'm watching the That's why I say, if we could find a way to listen to m r N, it's much better during the race. So I gotta you got to tell me how to do that. I have to because they are not on the same sequence, because you know, I television. I'll rewind it if I have to. What's perfect is if you just pause it when they're at the start, you know that the green If you'll just pause the TV there, yeah, m r N or PRN will catch up and they'll go green, green, green, and you just hit play and it's lined up perfect and what's amazing. But how do you listen to it? Oh? Just an app? I just listen to it on my phone. So m r N, there's an m r N app A pr N yep, Oh wow, yep, just hit play and it dude, it is so awesome. That's what's crazy is how accurate, yeah, they are to what you're seeing on TV. Yeah, like you even when they show cars back in the field. It's something they're talking about. Okay, well, very cool. Occasionally it's not, but yeah, for the most part it is unbelievable. But it's their coverage, is what you've said. All I want is describing what's going on instead of analyzing and telling me your opinion. Yep, yeah, so much better. Yep. All right, So this week we've got North Wilkesboro. Yeah. Was that the All Star Race last year? It was? Yeah, okay, so this is all forty four cars out at one time. That's gonna be a little bit crazy. Thirty eight okay, yeah, but yes, this will be crazy. Yeah, it is going to be different for sure. And I don't know who a favor it will be. So we'll have our picks. When Kevin comes on, I'll check. Uh. I ain't got a clue who to pick. I'm where I got mine. Inn. I did catch up the numbers. Probably Denny Hamlin didn't have a really good race, and Reddick had a good race, but I think he had some issues, so I'm curious. The points battle is still going on and tough, so yeah, kind of between them two man, you had a little of Bubba Wallace and Gibbs going at it. Oh I saw that at the end. Yeah, I better watch just like the blind leading the blunt. Does he not understand whose Grinson? That is. All right? Moving on? Oh oh, I got to do this real quick, Trent, And I know you don't want, but you've got to hear me out on this one. I've got a w NBA rant. Believe it or not. I will watch w NBA, especially when the Indiana fevers playing. I love watching Coke, Sophie Cunningham and just those all of them, they're Kelsey mitchell Is. There's so much fun to watch. So I of course that's a solt. Where Sophie Cunningham was at the UFC fight in Vegas. It was amazing. They were playing Vegas the next night. Yeah, Machin ends up being the ring girl, which is hilarious, comes in and goes six for seven the next night at three point line, just nothing but nets. It was amazing. So I got to think him because. Did you see when they agreed to her ben erring girl. Yeah, he said it was like eight minutes before a fight. She said that her and Dana have become friends or whatever, and she just asks, she's nuts she's funny, but it just got me to thinking about the league. And I know I constantly Jason Whitlock. I don't know if you follow him any but he's still think he's still on OutKick, right, I think ce So anyway, he had made the comment, they don't care about money. It's lesbians, black lesbians running the WNBA. Correct, So they do not want Caitlin Clark and those people. It's not about money anymore. Right, So I'm like, all right, you and I say it all time, what are you the receipts? Right, So what's your proof? So I go look at this man and this I can't believe how we gloss over news. In the Atlanta Dream is the team in Atlanta. You may remember this, but when Trump was president back in twenty sixteen to twenty, the Black Lives Matter thing happened with George Floyd. Kelly Loffler was the lady who owned the Atlanta Dream. She was a white Republican. She was forced to sell the team during the Black Lives Matter because the players were not going to play for her. Wow, this was when the whole thing with Remember Atlanta didn't have the All Star Game and they forced her to sell the team, which I said, dude, how are people not outraged? This lady didn't unlike the NBA owner who said a racial slur. She's just white and she happens to be a Republican. So the players are against her, and all of a sudden, the league makes her sell the team. Wow. So I looked up some stats real quick, just because I was creed when the Atlanta Dream was playing under Kelly Loffler. Right, what do you think they averaged per game in attendance? In attendance, no idea? Sixteen thousand okay, okay, that was their average attendance. Do you know what the average attendance now for the Atlanta Dream is? So they got Angel Reese, So I'm gonna guess twenty three thousand. Okay, you're way off. How about five two hundred fans? There you go. Here's what's crazy. They used to play in the State Farm Arena, which seats I think twenty some thousand. Okay. They now play in their own arena, which seats four thousand. Wow, So you ask yourself, how do you average over five? Right? So I'm like, I'm curious. Come to find out, occasionally they play at the State Farm Arena because it's a game that will have more Okay, what games do you think they're they are playing that average more fans. When Caitlyn shows up sixteen thousand Trent. Yeah, when she's in town. Yeah. When she's not in town, they're back to the fore. Yeah. And it's like, I don't I don't understand what your business model is. Yeah, they don't have one. That makes no sense. You used to average sixteen. They're subsidized every year by the NBA, so they don't care. I looked into that. I had no idea the NBA owns the w NBA doesn't even own majority stake in their own I didn't even know that. I knew there was subsidized, but I didn't know the NBA owns sixty percent or whatever it is of the And yes, they're subsidized because they still have yet to turn a profit. Yeah, not even close. And it's like it I watched that and I go, dude, come on, like it's crazy. So that is sports and sports is brought to you by State Farmed. Heat Insurance in bedfordd Honecure, local State Farm Agent.

Oh god, My favorite line of this whole clip is when she's I'm not gonna talk to right people because you're wrong. So this is it. It's called read it, Read it cut one. You think it's fair that cancer research got cut for little kids? Cancer reachars did not get cut. It most certainly got cut. So what read? Read the big beautiful bill, read Trump's orders, the big beautiful bill. I'll read it. Read it. Have you read the big Beefield Bill? I have? Okay, so you would know that they're actually not cutting cancer research, so not cutting funding for rural hospitals. They're actually they're actually trying to stop to. Read two to three hours a day, honey, because you don't know. What you're talking Where did you read the Big Beautiful Bill. It's on the white House dot com. Yes it is. Trump's list of plans is on the white House dot Com. Actually not the Big Beautiful Bill. I stand corrected the executive orders. Sorry executive orders, but Big Tuo Bill is where? Because I've definitely read the pieces where it talks about HEALTHCARECS. I believe there's many misconceptions, like you're talking about today. Healthcare is being cut, so against their research is cut. The labs have closed down. That did it, and the mice had to be euthanized. All these animals had You don't know what you're talking about. You they're cutting weight news? Yes, whats news? You know what. I'm not going to talk to right people there because you're. Wrong, no facts whatsoever. That's who ran the country. I mean, just what what clinic closed? We just say things. Yeah, we don't, we don't know. I can't stand those things, man, Oh I know. I just a funny story. Yes, And I didn't know if you saw this, but Biden is releasing a book. I heard about that today. Yeah, seriously, is that the name of it? I don't know what the name of it is, but I have heard so many people making fun of this. Yeah, did an auto pen write it? Yeah? You know things like that. There's first of all, what book are you? You're not writing anything? Yeah? Who wrote the book? So? I heard Clay and Buck talking today and they had a really good, in depth conversation about the twenty twenty election numbers, like, nobody's gonna read his book, but the guy got eighty one million votes. How does a guy get eighty one million votes and nobody's going to go buy the book? You would think he'd be so popular that there's going to be a number one seller. Yeah, And they said, if it's a number one seller, or somebody's propped it up by buying a massive amount of the books, right, that's how they do to make it sound like they they're on number one New York Times bestseller. But they were saying, when you look at the election, Clay Travis is saying, I know it stinks, right, I can't tell you what it was that they did, but I know it stinks, just like that I knew. And his example was, I know Brady Anderson is using steroids because he hits fifty. Home runs exactly right. Brady Anderson tells me he's not using aeroids. But when I look at the numbers, Barry Bonds breaks the record and everybody's numbers are up. Something happened. And I can see somebody got eighty one million, and the person before him and the person after him were in the sixties. So something is different. So I know it's different. Well what sucks is And of the two Klay Travis and Buck Sexton, Buck is the one that irritates me so much because he likes to be the guy that just is on the fence about everything that you got to show me the proof, and Clay is like, I don't really have to show you the proof. I know the numbers are telling me what it's telling me. The math ain't math. Exactly, and then Buck says, well, I did a Groc research and so Groc and they said that they've started using Groc instead of using Google, which I try to download GROCK and I don't know. I couldn't get it to actually work the way I thought it should work. But anyway, he was saying, he uses CROC, and Groc's answer was, it is likely, highly likely that something quirky happened in that election because and they talked about the member of the Bellweather states, in the last one hundred years, there's been eighteen counties that have always elected the right person, and in that election, seventeen of the eighteen chose Trump. So it was one of those things that how can the one time that that not happen? And then they kept saying so that whatever the six million extra that came form, that they can't really pinpoint where it came from. And I keep thinking, yes you can if anybody did a real investigation. I know what Bedford County voted for last time, Right, there's about thirty thousand people that vote in Bedford County, And in twenty twenty there's thirty thousand people that voted for in the election. In twenty twenty four there's thirty thousand people. Well, one of those counties has to have fifty five thousand versus thirty thousand, you know what I mean, there's got to be an up. That's where you start it seems like so basic to try to do a real study. I don't know why that hasn't happened. On its face, when you think about it, when you say eighty one million and then you look at the previous and you don't see that number, you would say, well, wow, that must have been a year that you know, something happened that would have been motivated people to go vote. Right. Yeah, the hardest election to vote in would have been during a pandemic. Yeah, COVID. You don't think the most votes in the history of our country would produce the most votes in the history of our country during a pandemic. At the same time, they were yelling that they didn't have the right to vote, that they were being it was being taken away from it. It's nuts to me how we even discuss it like it's and then like if you say Biden's laptop or you know, the whole Russian disinformation, they still talk about it as if it was I mean Russia. No it wasn't. It was proven the other way, but they'd still talk about it. I'm just irritated that we have the power and no one it's like they're afraid to talk about it. And be branded. Yes, like the remember the whole birth denis correct? I mean right, I'm not one hundred percent sure that Obama still was born in Hawaii. Correct, just because you said it and you produced a document I have it. I mean, you don't have any pictures of him being in Maui when he was seven. I can watch a documentary right now on Trump and I can find out who his granddad was, Yeah, how they came to this country, what his dad did, how he built in New Jersey, how Trump took over. I can know everything about him. George Bush, Yeah, Joe Biden. I can go down the list, Kate with Obama, right, He's the one president in the history of this country. Yeah that right now, we don't know anything about his childhood. And dude, like the question like they want to run that local guy out of the USC because he said that Michelle was a dude. Yeah right, Yeah, obviously the guy's a jokes. But there's certain things that they will not let you say in the media that you must be fired. Right, Dana has to fire this guy. He can never fight again if he said that in the ring. I just love the fact. Do you guys not have any pictures of her pregnant. Do you know what I mean? That's all you gotta do. Yeah, tell me that she was pregnant. That's a great point that well anyway, all right, the story that nobody is covering, Yes, the Michigan governor and the board pardoning a convicted rape child rapist. Minnesota governor. Yeah, Minnesota, you said, Michigan. Oh, Minnesota. Yeah, I got it written in Minnesota. Yeah all right, but yeah, how is that not huge? I don't understand it, Like when the more you read about it, the more egregious it is. So let me ask you something, because I was thinking, well, maybe this guy was a previous child rapist and they were pardoning him for something else. Was he pardoned for that crime? Apparently he had a crime into twenty nineteen that he ended up in their house arrests when he was supposed to be Like, nobody talks about that one. But then this one is same guy with multiple offenses. Yeah, oh goodness, same thing legal. I mean, it's not. I thank god that we picked him up and deported him. So that's what I couldn't believe. First off, I didn't even know that a pardon of a rapist happened by Tim Walls, right, So I didn't know he did that. And then I read our state department. Ye ended up capturing a guy and taking him back to a country. Whatever they were able. To find the I guess notes or whatever that this board had put together of why they thought he should have gotten parole. It makes you sick to your stomach. We they wanted him paroled, or excuse me, pardoned so that Ice wouldn't detain him, so that he could hide because he he's got children here, and they think it's inhumane. The hell with the person who got raped, you know, that's what they're saying. So Marco Rubio ended up extraditing or sending them back to a different country right. The moment he stepped foot out of jail. Because we were paying attention. Yeah, but imagine if we weren't. Yeah, I saw Walt say afterwards, hopefully the news is correct on this. I saw Walt saying afterwards. I can't see how a man who hasn't lived in that country for so many years, how it can be beneficial to society. It's like, dude, let you let a rapist back into your community. A ten year old god Trent who, by the way, when he was caught, blamed it on her. Oh my god, there's no remorse. And that's the guy that you set around in a table and goes, hey, we need him back on the street. He's got family, he's. And the guy that pardoned him was a cat's has to be our vice president. That's crazy. Onto a lighter note. Yeah, and I've got this. It was. This is one of my favorite videos. Man. But I swear y'all don't understand. When I see the kid walk and I watched that teacher smack that out of his hand. The only person I think about is Trent Warner, and I go, this would have been him if he was a teacher. All right, go ahead, cut. One next, Philip, Philip, what do you have buy monkeys and her pillow? That's great, Philip, thank you for that. I switch you to turn it on. Damn buzz like a rocket ship. All right, you can have a shoot now, Okay. Okay, you know what, let's do that. You broke his rocket ship. Oh no, talk on my favorite videos because the kid is so proud. He just it's like it's a little rocket ship. Oh sorry, Emma, I figured you would find it funny. All right, Yeah, moving on to her post of the Week by an idiot, Yeah, oh my lord, I gotta pull pull mine out, dude. This was a post that I saw that said and I almost didn't believe it, dude, the worst states to live in? It was a poll done by CNB. Oh my god, I saw this, dude. I literally thought, there's no like, what are we doing? You're literally going to publish this story that says the worst states to live in are Tennessee, Texas, Arkansas. Yeah, and I think South Carolina. Made Indiana was one of them too. All right, what are we doing? Yeah? How do you? And of course I look up the matrix very first question, what is their legislation towards climate? Oh? God, air quality is one of their standards? Race relations, oh, all of that. Yeah. Yeah. But what got me was, as I'm reading it, I'm looking at logan and I go, okay, hold on climate, New York, LA. We're smag ever, Like, there's no way they're not worse than Arkansas and Tennessee. Yeah at air quality, right, no chance that they have better air quality? Yeah, and you've included Texas Tennessee. Like literally, if you did a poll of American people, not this algorithm of laws or whatever. If you just asked American people, your worst are actually the best because that's where everybody's moving to. So that's your answer on those things. We've played it a couple of weeks ago. Was that sunny host in whatever lady is on the view? Yeah, okay, she came out and she deliberately attacked the flag. So the media tries to attack the flag because they don't want you to be a patriot. Ye if you're a patriot, you're a conservative. You must be a right winger that loves this country. We're going to artificially start branding that flag right behind you as a racist element. Oh yeah, and we're just going to start planting that seed so that people will quit putting their flag out there. Yep. And now we have all these people moving from the blue New York California states that are migrating to these places. We got to get some articles out there to say this is the worst place you could live. Oh yeah, there's no doubt. But I love when we highlight. For instance, I don't know if you saw any of the All Star Game at Philadelphia. It was on Netflix. Yeah, I couldn't find I looked all over my TV. I thought I must have missed it. I did watch the home run derby and it was amazing. Usually those things are terrible, Yeah, but the crowd was energetic. Philadelphia did a phenomenal job, as they should have. It's a great place to call to do the for the two hundred and fiftieth, Yes, just to do it in Philly. Absolutely, and they did it right. The American Flag, the American the beautiful song, the national anthem, and somebody commented it may have been Clay or one of those said, how ironic that you know, a liberal place like that. We honestly had wonderful Thank you Baseball. I think it was Warren that brought it up. Huh. We actually got to see patriotic stuff and it was wonderful. All of the people were standing for the national anthem, It was great. How great was that intro for Bryce Harper? Oh yeah, to come out and he got into the rain and got up on the edge of that was cool. I thought it was so neat Trent when they did this, the lineup or introducing all of them signing the book. The Declaration of Independence. They had a feather put their name on there. Everything about it was done really really well. Now, my one great, if you're Major League Baseball, you can't leave de la Cruise out of the freaking All Star Game. How he was not a starter or a reserve. And here's the thing. When Otani decided he wasn't gonna play due to injury, everyone assumed, Okay, well, now's your chance to save face. We choose the designated hitter from Saint Louis. Like, dude, de la Cruise is in the top of all the categories. Why did they stub them? I don't know. I don't know the answer to that. Like, it's a big deal if you go online. I was just I'm like waiting for his name to be called because he's one of my favorite He is amazing to watch. No Cincinnati read. Yeah okay, yeah, unbelievable player. Yeah all right, moving on to a little oh do you want oh yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry, you got the post of the week? Yep, teachers post. Okay, so the teachers post. Okay, So the post is current, but she's reposting from six years ago, which is twenty twenty. Her post now is do you remember this part of your life? And how surreal the experience now seems. She's an English teacher. This is her post from twenty years ago that she's reposting recommendations looking for masks you find most comfortable and have that and that have a vent, fits pretty snug against the bridge of the nose and also has a kid's version. Links are great, or if you know a local supplier that works well. If they are going to put teachers on the front lines, I want options. Steve brought this up at work one day, and I'd forgotten all about this. Do you know we never missed a day, not one. Yeah I didn't either. We were in construction. Nobody said, you know, stop construction, or hey, it's deadly if you do this like I do. Remember now that you bring it up, of how it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I don't appreciate nurses, but do you remember all the signs the front line, the front line, the front line. Nobody said anything about a construction worker or a restaurant owner or any of those people that never missed and just kept at it. Yeah, well, they wouldn't even let you open. They wouldn't let a restaurant owner. They'd run you off if you open a restaurant. We never did that. Trent. Front lines, It's such a joke. I mean, first off, you know who was the front lines in my opinion, if there really was a front line. The Christian schools that went to school. The cashiers at the grocery stores. Yes, we didn't quit eating. Nope, we still went to Walmart. We still and they actually wanted you to go to the same store, right, They wanted to close all the mom and pops and then make you to go to the big big box box stores where we're all going to the same place. Come on, and then had you walk in the one door and come out the other door, like we still weren't going into the same air. How about the free lunches that they wanted you to come pick up. Oh yeah, yeah, we forget. We did the dumbest thing. It was crazy. It was just so crazy to crazy times. But man, just and but to be so proud of saying that she was on the front lines. Yeah, to keep doing that. Okay battle, how long were you out right? Yes? Anyway, Yeah, I went back. I wanted my kids to see me go to work. I wasn't scared. Don't be scared. I'm going to go to work. My mom said, how do we other church and pray and have faith? And then when the shit HiT's the fan? Yeah, ooh, this isn't right. Maybe we should be prosecuting Fauci or gain a function. Yep, let's talk about reality. Yeah, win, win win. We're gonna win, win, win, and we're gonna make America great again. This is this is the part of Donald Trump that I love the most. He brings cool back to the White House. So we don't have to like literally be scared the way, don't you. I mean, every time they showed Biden, you were like, oh, what is he gonna say? Yeah, this is what we get with Trump, go ahead, cut through. Oh yeah. So these are the greatest race guard drivers anywhere in the world. They win them all, every race, and they're gonna be here in forty one days in Washington, and they're gonna be on all over the place. I guess have been many of the many of the great roads. But it's going to be surrounding the Capitol, right next to the White House. It's all free too. Can you believe it? Because of Roger Penske and Fox and general motors. It's free. They're gonna have three hundred thousand, four hundred thousand people. It's free forty one days from now at the White House. We'll see you then. Congratulations, Fellas. Great job, that's awesome. I mean, it's just like we had the UFC. Now we got this. Hey, is he going to go to the World Cup Final? You think I don't know? I hope. So it's all posted today that says they think they can see tracks on the bottom of the reflecting pool. They're still pissed about the reflecting pool. I thought they drained it. They did, but they can see tracks from like he's the one that caused the leaks because the vehicles went across the top of it. They're like, they got tds about the pool. It's crazy. Mount Rushmore. Let's get to this so you can get to your stuff. Okay, Mount Rushmore is the chain restaurants. Okay, Emma, did you participate? What I love is when Chris asks us what the Mount Rushmore is, he's got He's always got clarifications like it's not enough. I mean, dude, even if you're wrong, who gives a ship? Oh yeah, just answer it, Chris. You can't be wrong, because there's guarantee Trent's going to massage the rules something different. He's going to put a local restaurant that no one's ever heard of and go what all right, go. Ahead, I have two that are actual big chains all over the US. Calm down. I did Texas Roadhouse. Okay, ah, good, that's all I want. David and I have been on a big Chili's kick. Oh. Now, it did not used to be good when I was a kid, exactly. It used to be terrible. I like you, I would not let us go because it was that bad. But now, dude, something changed one thousand hit it nails here. Yeah, I love now. I actually want to go. Yeah, and I agree with you. It used to be terrible. I think it's the quality of food. Yes, I think they And then. The Roadhouse is a good choice too. And then I did East Coast Wings. Oh you love that place. Well, I'm going to eat. At two places, Lockaretta and East Coast. So those are my last two. Well, I would say Lockarretta is a I would because there's like eight of them or something. It was more than that. You go down Florida, there's the Lockrettas. Yeah, so may not be the exact ones, but it is the East coast. There's like one here, there's one on the way. They're probably all the same. They just I'm l rodeo or yeah. So those are my four. I realized I don't eat out restaurants a lot besides those two. You kind of know too, by the way, because when you go in there, they all have the same salt paper, pepper shakers. They have all the same you know what I mean. They got the same vendors that come in. So yep, all right, Uh do you want to do Christ's? Yes? So now are these chains that are Jesus in h Are these local foods? Are they? Yeah? What do you what do you mean by chain? So? His are Longhorn, which we've got one of those, and I think I've been there once. Now he hit Caravas, which seems to be on everybody's list. Vas Are is fantastic. Uh. He put Chipotle in there, And I have been to a Perry steakhouse. I gotta tell you that's pretty damn good. I've never been either. It's it's like fine dining. It's I don't think it's as fine as like Ruth Chris but it's really freaking good. And Firebirds that I've been to a Firebirds those are pretty good. I think it's a wood smoked food. If I recall correctly, he can correct me if I'm wrong, but it's it's really good. I've done the one in Raleigh and then my friends. I can't do Chipotle. I need to find out if there's something that they use. And I'm just being honest with you, I cannot. It literally makes me sick like afterwards, I just can't eat it. I've tried, yeah, because it does seem to be good tasting, but it just it ruins me. Yeah, their meat creeps me out. I don't like their meat. I don't know what it is. I thought it's pretty good. Uh, Marty likes Capital Grill, which you see those in the big cities, Okay, and then Ruth Chris of course, and a place called Sullivan's. So she must be going out there without me. Some places. None of these you've ever heard of. No, I've heard of the first two. Capitol Grill is pretty good, Chris. The thing I don't know about Ruth Chris is okay, I'm gonna pay high dollars for the steak. But then don't make me pay sixteen dollars for the for the potato. Oh it's awful. Yeah, yeah, over the top. I think. I do think they have good steaks though. Oh yeah, uh, French has prime seafood. I've never heard of that, Yes, prime seafood. Yep, I've heard of Phillips, which I thought was pretty good in Baltimore Capitol Grille. Eddie Vee's, I don't know what that is. I've heard of none of these Maggiano's. I don't know what that is. He's he's more of a big city guy too. And I will tell you this, a damn cheesecake factory is still freaking good. Oh they're really good. From what he said, is that as soon as she's joking. But her son ate there so would remember. He's going on the track around the United States. He was in San Antonio going to the Alamo. Oh night, that's he just finished at the Grand Canyon. Cool, but Dick's last resort. Okay, yeah, that's a good night time or a fun time thing. If you want to take somebody who's never been. All right, I got yeah, Olive Garden. Yeah, I'm a big still love Olive Garden. Yeah, dude, that potatoes soup that they've got with the sausage in the cab mm hmm. Definitely love that thing. You wait it. Oh yeah, I thought you're getting red to make fun of me. No, No, I am a huge Olive Garden fan, and I love that soup that you're talking about. Yeah, it's wonderful. Cracker Barrel, dude, it's still great breath. I don't know nobody has that not on everybody's list, but. Because I'm thinking more people are thinking dinner. No, it's just gone downhill, like the last couple of times that I've been happened terrible. I will say when they went through that run, it was horrible, but I will say it has been different lately, because You're exactly right. It was going. I remember calling my sister we ate in one off when we were coming back from when you let us use your condo. It was horrifically bad. Yes, And I just remember calling her and I go, when did you ever think you would go into a cracker Barrel where half of the restaurant was walled off because there wasn't people there and there was no weight. And then when we sat down it took forever, and the food was terrible cold. There's hair in our food. And then all that stuff happened, and it seems like now they have done a one eighty. They won't, They will claim they didn't, but I'm just telling you. The food has been terrific lately, and I like some of their new choices. I do. You can't go wrong when you're serving alcohol at Cracker Barrel. Oh yes, Oh, I to. Check that out, but yeah, they have, and they have some really good new newer foods that they kind of switch up, which I like. But yes, I do like a Cracker Barrel. Carabas no Man definitely one of my favorites. I like a Cheddars Oh, I do too. And my favorite out of all of them is McCormick and Schmicks. It's it's a steak place but also seafood, but it's mostly DC Baltimore, and I think they have some Oh my god, it's terrific. I don't know if I got anything different than what anybody else had. What you got, uh? I agree with everybody's remember the ground round. It's still I wish we still had it. Yeah, it's good. Uh. And then dude, there's a place down in uh Morehead City. I did not know it was a chain. I thought it was just local to Morehead City. But it was an oyster bar called Full Moon. Oh okay, oh man, that place is great. You made me think of one. Now it's gone. It's funny how you think you're at a place and this is the only one, and then you realize it's a chain. Open. Yeah, Kickback Jacks wasn't bad. Oh, yeah, Jackson, I would I prefer Kickback Jacks over any of the wing places. Yeah. I think somebody had said Buffalo Wild Wings and I'm not a big Yeah, I'm not that either, I think when they first started. Maybe, but it's not even the sane category as East Coast Wing. We eat at East Coast way too often. I like East Coast, But as far as sit down places fore Wings, it's just a it's more comfortable to be at kickbacks. Yeah. Food is so good. Yeah. Agree, And you have some like grilled options that are really really good. Cool yep, alrighty. Moving on a little Counts commercial.

But it's great, it's really interesting. So that cell is August seventh, So people should check that out. All right, So last week when Kevin interrupted our show, and I'm going back to the things that we missed from last week. Oh yeah, you know, yeah yeah, So I'm going back dates. I'm going back to last week. So these might be a little outdated. And man, I guess I was so busy I didn't send myself anything. So I found some old clips to add to this too. So we've got a little older generation of have at it today. So we're going to start with cut twenty five because this is where we ended last week. This is called Biden's leadership. Let's listen to this. This is his deliberate histortion and destruction of NATO, and it's choosing Putin as an America over American allies, or the fact that the Dimini starts standing in the eyes of the world more than any president history has. That's a fact, not just his vanity. Projects, tearing down the East wing of the White House, making room for his ballroom. With his name on the Kennedy Center in an arch in his own honor. I've been hiring his own his own pool guy to fix the reflecting pool. Dude, they can't stand that thing. Whoa whoa a little loser. He caught him a loser. That's what got the crowded yeer doe, they'd hate him so much. M Look, folks, Now, folks, it is not just that. It's not just reflecting. Pool reflects something even worse than a narcissism and incompetence. At the core of this administration. It's the corruption. Corruption, the braves and blames, blatant corruption, corruption on scale never seen before in American history, in any administration. You means, like the guy that got ten million dollars from uh Barisma. I'm confused from his son, I'm being dead tears. What's the corruption corruption claim that I'm missing? So if you go on to a lot of the websites that I go to that are the other side to see what they say. They vow that the Trumps boys are running around taking advantage of all his executive orders and they are making billions for the Trumps. There's a Trump phone out there that ended up failing, they said. So I thought, well, I mean, how did that actually. Help if it failed? Right, So it's just branding, that's all that is. There's nothing in there that he said, you know to you know, the number two thing that he said right there was that we are now diminished in the eyes of the of the world. Yeah, factually, how you know what I mean? So none of this. I will tell you this, and I don't know if you've heard this, but inflation this last month from the month before is the lowest it's been in six years. Yeah. It sounds like a guy that's probably not incompetent. Correct you know, all right, so speak English. So I wanted to show you obviously how a live I mean, you know right off about what she looks like. Right, that's a white liberal woman. She's going to tell you how we should fix things in our country. Let me be clear clear, If I see anybody taking anything out of any store, no matter what it is, and people are accusing them of stealing, I'm going to fake a heart attack. Oh, I'm going to fake a heart attack. I'm going to sit in front of traffic. I'm going to do everything that I can to cause a scene and a distraction so that that person gets away, because right now I don't freaking care anymore. I don't freaking care. I'm done. I'm done caring. Hm hmm. That's what I'm going to be doing. Okay, dude, I can get past her evil eyes. Well, she's going to see that, she's going to see the thievery happening. Well, she could see it a mile away. With those. She's gonna I'm not going to miss that at all. Dude, to come up and post a TikTok about it, to say that we are just going to let people steal. That's what they've always wanted. Yeah, there's billionaires, men are making money off of this. Yeah, there's just no way we can let that happen. Just let them get away with it. I'm going to fake a heart attack so that this person can get away. I wonder if you were in a store. Okay, what if someone took your wife's purse in a store? Yes, would you not want want the authorities to go after that guy? No, I'm screaming, hey, you left her bike, just kidding him. But if the lady falls down into the in the front of the store, faking a heart attack, are you stopping to help her? Are you still going after the guy with the purse. I'm going after the guy with the purse if they're wearing a hate you know, sticker or something like you're liberal? What is it. What is they're saying hate, we don't tolerate hate or something like that. It's crazy. I remember what this one is. Oh, oh, okay, you're going to remember this from the Rush Limball days. Okay, you're going to remember from the Don Imus days. How when the Republicans lost to Bill Clinton and then we had a if you will, a victory with George Bush. But when we lost to Obama, the big giant argue was the Republicans will never win again because we need a bigger tent. Bill Crystal, we have to. Yes, Republicans were saying, yes, we have to. We have to start including more numbers. We got to get everybody in there. And Rush Limbaugh will say, that's absolutely ridiculous. You win on policy and we have better policy. Yep. Right, So now the Dems. What faction do you think are running the Democrats right now? Oh, it's the by far the socialists. Exactly slash communists, right, they are literally winning. So if you were what my parents were as Democrats back in the day, they're not part of that party anymore, right that I think of. No, that's right, yes, so they're losing the people. Yep. So listen to what this guy has to say about the big tent, this Democrat and from a Senator from Colorado, John Hickenlooper. I'll tell you what we are united about. We are united that we all have to work to make sure we win the Senate. Back in November. We've got to win back. We're united to win back the House, and we're denited to win back and. Push back against the White House. And I think, you know, I don't agree with everything that's that miss Kiros is claiming and fighting for, but I believe in a big tent that if the Democratic Party is going to really represent farmers and ranchers and middle class workers and be able to compete in states like Indiana, Kansas, and Nebraska, we've got to have a big tent. And we're not going to agree on everything, and we're going to make our arguments within our party and fight hard for what we believe. But the bottom line is we are united that we have to win back the Senate and the House. Dude. Now, the Democrats are talking about the big tent, but guess who they're trying to bring in? The socialist Guess who he. Is trying to tell the socialists they have to bring in if to win Indiana, we have to bring in the farmers. We have to bring in the normal people. Oh yeah, but that ain't gonna happen. He's telling them, you've lost, So your bigger tent is trying to bring in the normal people what we did back in the conservative days of losing. They kept saying we need a bigger tent to bring in the fringe. But that's a whole completely different. The Democrats are in a lot of trouble. Further lef Yes, they're in a lot of trouble. So their bigger tent is trying to bring in the moderates. That's what he was trying to say there. So that's it's a huge problem that they've got now mail in ballots, cheating elections. Sure, yep, all right, Oh my god. I played his answer to a question last week the mayor of Chicago. Listen to how First off, it's a set up question. I honestly think that the reporter and he have set this up so he knows how to answer. But listen to how he answers what the problem is with the spending and the budgets in Chicago in terms of this department. How much do you division in exclastic and at a time where you've spoken peridically about managing how budget short ball, how do you anticipate this department still falling under the number you're looking for every single. At a time in which we've seen the largest upper transfer of wealth in the hands of the ultra rich at the expense of everybody else. Here's another way that I would ask it, at what point in this city will we finally demand and hold the ultra wealthy in these big corporations accountable. They have experienced a windfall of wealth at the expense of the young people who are looking for opportunity. I lifted up the social media amusement responsibility tax as an example. People said that we couldn't do it. Were the first government in the country to administer this type of tax, and I'm grateful that the governor responded and followed our lead, and now he implemented one at the state level. You mean to tell me, with thirty one thousand jobs that we've offered fifty seven thousand children applied that as a city, we cannot figure out how to come up with another twenty million dollars to make sure that every young person and young adult who wanted yo can have a job. You need to tell me that one of the largest economies of the world, breaking more records, more people are coming to Chicago, generating more revenue, more economic activity, and all we're asking for is to make sure that young people and young adults and families can live in safe communities. If this city is good enough for people to visit, and then it's sure to hell better be good enough for people to live in it. Dude, there's no hope for them. There's no hope for them. He literally mentioned a social media amusement responsibility tax and that the governor of Illinois has followed his lead and done the same. I mean, that's why the bears are leaving, you. Think, yeah, dude, I don't. Well, first of all, here's what I have found out in politics. I mean, I honestly, I think at some point in time in their history, you looked for the best, in the brightest to to try to aspire to be a civil servant, right, And I think those people, whether they were Democrats or Republicans, at the heart of it, had their beliefs and we argued over taxes or you know, and you had that's all gone. Now the people that are in charge that dude, there's no way he could hold a full time job anywhere. He said, Why can't we raise more funds to hire more kids? You're a government agency. There's no production in what you just said. Correct, You've only raised a budget amount to pay someone to stay at a stagnant job. Correct. It's the idiocy is beyond belief. Yes, I mean the simple stuff. Yeah, all right, Carolina, Kevin like a loose next week, three minutes early? Hello, tell you. One man that early at six forty four of them true? Not what he called. Oh my man, listen, listen, and dippity dappened, and don't know what's happening in the corner yonder. Hey, dude, have you seen the mount Rushmore that she made some graphics? I guess she made it. Have you seen yourself on a rock? You're you're all Mount Rushmore? Kevin and I had to do a double take to figure out who the hell is in the front. He doesn't follow us on Facebook? Oh my god, I'm wrong. I'm like pretty sure he said he doesn't. Dude, she's got your face im out Rushmore And I'm wondering how the hell is that your face? But I realized that's who it is. And she puts you up front, which is cool. It's crazy to think that he got the first. It's great, it's a great graphic. It is. It's well, go follow us and look at it. I'll find it. I'll find it. And sinda snappy. Yeah, did you send that to him? I'm letting your viewers mm. Hmmm, Yeah, that's great. Looks like she just woke up and. I'm doing great. Bud old Poppy. Oh poppy. Uh, it's got some vegetables that he's been in the end. Do you get pictures of his vegetables? Sometimes? I send it to Kevin. I'm talking about Kevin. Have you seen his vegetable hall? I mean, like you're always trying to put me down. My little tiny garden can't produce what his does. That's terribley. He does it all the time. Trent. You have to be the man. Yeah's gardener. You sent me a picture of all his tomatoes. You just did spaghetti sauce right and sauca. Oh yeah, I got you some I like, I said, I'm gonna get it to you and you try it out and both of you and Brian have to come on the podcast and rate it from one to ten. That's awesome. I'm all for it. But you said you don't put meat sauce in it because people don't like it, or they may not like it. Yeah, I don't put meat in there because of the simple factor. Is simple fact of what I said in the mount. I guess he's opened. It is that amazing. Alant. You have a little island up there. It looks like the state of looks like the state of South Carolina, Florida. There you go, Oh my god, that is great. Kevin kind of scared me in the front. I thought. I thought Kevin looked like a Hollywood star. That's his profile picture. We took his profile picture in the. You know what Brian told me once before, and I can't go by without thinking about it and pisses me off. But he was right that I look like I look like Colonel Sanders on the KFC bucket the side and I tried, I see them glasses. Something like that. Sod of a bitch's hair. Was fifteen on R fifteen on a carryer. Know the pattern is full. It was like a lazy eye. His hair. Oh, look's accurate his hair is. We literally took his profile picture. That is hilarious. Emma, I'm telling you, Emma looks like she just woke up. It looks like she's working at Joe Bean's. Brian he going to Brianuld going to Walmart stealing anything he wants to put it in his bed. Oh man, put a couple of steaks in there. He wasn't a guy on fat. Albert used to have his tools and toys and stuff in his hair and he pulled out out. I had that big afro. Oh lord, all right, we got to catch up on racing. We have do we have? Yeah? I got the up to date points. This is as This is includes Chicago Land when I didn't do it because we had a grand baby being born, and includes Atlanta. So the up to date points are I'm leading at seven seventeen, Kevin has eight thirty seven, and Brian has eight eighty nine. So one of y'all took a really bad hit. I mean y'all had like ninth this week. I couldn't I won last week. You yes, last week you had a number one, but you also had a twenty one and a twenty three. I had a number one a number two in a sixteen and but now the week before it was somebody that had like the last two guys. Uh, it was it was Kevin. He would uh at Chicago he had number thirty six and number thirty eight. That was the race where he said Zilich is gonna win his first one he finished last. Oh that's right. We don't laugh about it. Hey, I forget man until they mentioned it the other day. Connor is eighteen eighteenth in points, No, eighteen years old? Oh wow, like we're you know, I thought about it the other day because they're arguing over whether he should move to Hendrick Motorsports or whether Okay, and it's like, all right, let's cool the jets. He's eighteen, give him a couple of years for sure. I mean, good lord, I mean jam took Kyle Larson just a little bit to get going, of course, right, although Kevin had that pepped out right from the beginning. From the start. All right, let's see, I'm the start. You know, when Kevin says dummy, you know who reminds me of Demmy Fred Sandford when he talked to little Mont going to the big dummy, big dummy, you are probably you are probably too young to what that show was. Oh good, Lord, of course I remember. No. I watched it the other night and hit that gallon then and he said he said, he said, these green beans are so good. He said, yes, their fellow calcium and he and bred Sam was sitting all the full of fat back. What was his friend's name, Grady Grady? That said I loved Grady and uh esther. Oh god, you know he hated that woman. Right, So I'm coming, I'm coming Elizabeth. All right? Who we got this week? I guess it's the Window World four fifty at North Wilkesboro. Yeah, let me go first, go. T trick. Okay, So you're gonna think that these are all top picks. One of them is because Denny. I just loved Denny. Go with Denny whenever I can. Why do you like him? He's from Virginia, He's awesome. Uh Kyle Larson, Now that sounds like I've got two top picks. But you know how long it's been since Kyle Larson has won a race? Uh, second race of the year. He hasn't won this year. I don't think oh he has it. I don't think so. I think it's had a haircut. Huh since since em I had a haircut? All type of here? When was last win by? Uh? Larson? All right, so you've got Larson Hamlin and who's your third pick? I've got Keselowski. Okay, he's got to come around sometime. I agree. Twenty twenty five May of twenty twenty five. Oh wow, it's more than a year, all right, Kevin? Who you got. The three beams? Blaney, Belle, Bristoe, and Busher. Oh I gave you a four one Bell, Brisco Those are good picks right there, man and Boucher Yep, he's another guy. I think Buscher is in the top sixteen and you just never have heard about him. Let's see if ESPN even has the rankings of NASCAR. All right, so I'm gonna gehme. He'll come in and say, I'm gonna give you some of mine. Kevin, you took a couple of mine. No. I went back and looked at who won the All Star Race, because that's the only that's true thing we've got to go off of. So Bell passed Joey Logano with ten laps to go to win it. So it was Bell, Logano, Ross Chess Team, Alex Bowman and Chase Elliot. Those were your top five last year in the All Star Race. So I'm going to go Chase Elliot for sure, will go five dollars on Chase. Do you bet these picks? I can't bet anymore. Oh, you're out of money. I ran out of money and I refused till college football. So five years it took me to spend five hundred bucks. It's nice I got. I got as high as maybe nine hundred, and then I lost it. All right, I'm gonna do Ryan Pries. That's a good pick, and then I will do my last pick. Man, it's hard not to do a Toyota as dominant as they are. M hm mm hm hm. You know what, I'll go Chase Brisco. So those are my picks, all right. And in the world of betting, let's go Nascar. They have. Included in this. She called what you call you called. Or something. I was like one, Yeah, that was ridiculous. Uh, the odds makers have it. The top three is Blaney, Hamlin, Bell, then Larson and Logano. Logano hasn't done anything in a while, either, has he. He is up there in points though, Yeah, he's pointed his. Way back in So yeah, I was just I was just looking at points points. It is the the ones that stand out to me that are crazy. Is There's no way I would have put Tid Gibbs fourth in points. Yeah, but he is. Chris Chris Busher is seventh, and Whosovar is eighth. Wow, that's crazy. Oh so Joey Logano is still seventeenth. Wow. Who's got a Who's got a new love. Coastal Ball? Remember that girl? Oh? Yeah I did. He is hilarious, dude. His social media stuff is by far better than everybody else. Did you see where they were playing music for him to end the race? Keep Away is loving life. So some of the others that I think are odd in the top sixteen, Daniel Suarez is eleven, Yes, that is huge. William Byron is twelfth, which I haven't seen him do anything, but Austin Centric is fourteenth. Eric Jones is sixteenth. That's wow. That is crazy. Oh Wallace has. Night the Uh yeah, Brian, are you talking about the Mount Rushmore? The Mount Rushmore is the Mount Rushmore is on that image that we sent you. It was used to be. It's that red label right in the front. Emma does what the subject is? For the Mount Rushmore, it was restaurant chains. What's your favorite restaurant chains? Like I sit down, not a fast food, but what's your favorite. Chain local or nationwide? All right, Chris, whatever you can come up with, we're okay. Question whatever is it could be. Don't call me, Chris, don't call me, don't Well. Every time we come up with it, Chris has to clarify, Like, dude, it doesn't matter if you're wrong, Just give us a damn answer. Not you, Well, let me ask you this before I answered, tell me what yours were? Oh, okay, because that's important. Mine was pretty much what everybody else's were. Texas Roadhouse, olive garden, Caribas, cheddars, cracker barrel, stuff like that. You like a red robin, I like a red robbin robin. Brian's was the same as those, except he also had a McCormick and schmicks. And and. We said those his only other one was McCormick and schmicks. Oh, I'm old at the old school. Applebee's. Oh yeah, Emma had East Coast Wings in Lo Coretta. Yeah, now would be Applebee's in Lo Coretta, probably back in the day was Western. Oh I had do you remember the ground round? Yeah?

I did earlier? God he said it was the beef's stomach. It was the lining of this. I wanted to see what it looks up here. Oh I didn't eat up there. I didn't see. Oh it's tripe t r I p e. That was the number one disgusting thing we had a guest on earlier, Kevin. He's on TikTok Oh no, he's got he's got nineteenth thous I meant to ask him what what did he ever think he'd have nineteen thousand followers. That isn't making me gag. Look at it comes out of a can, That's what he said. And it was like milky. I mean, it's the dimples in it. Come on, who says this is edible? We go get out Walmart. We could do a taste test if you're hungry, anything is edible. All right, I got to head home, so we need to wrap it up. Oh you're not gonna like the end of the show then, but I've got a why, because I got a It was a really cool thing. It was the story of the Star Spangled banner. Okay, but it takes about five minutes to throw it. And if Emma doesn't want to do it, that's okay with me. No, she can play it. I can watch it later. Yes, you'll never believe what happened the other day. I can't wait. So I'm sitting here and door knocks, and I'm like, who in the world is this? Now? Guess what a Jehovah witness? Oh wow, knocked on the door. I was like, I asked him. I was like, you want to come on in? He's like yeah, So he came on in. I made a cup of coffin.

Okay, So I was going to play this for the July fourth week, but because baby and all that, and then last week I never got to it. But I didn't want to get rid of it, so I went back and looked at this. This is the story of the song star Spangled Banner and how Francis scott Key came up with it. I didn't realize that he was a senator, or he was someone important negotiator for a prisoner's war during the Revolutionary War. So, Emma the story. I mean, it's eight minutes long, So if you don't want to do it, I can. That's my doing last week, or at five minutes, we can cut it off because I think that's where it gets to the right parts. We will see you next week, everybody. There was a lawyer once. His name was Francis scott Key. He penned a song that I'm sure you're aware of. You've seen it. It's in most hymnals throughout our churches. It's called the national anthem. It is our song as an American. We go, however, to a ball game. We stand in our church services and we sing the words of that song and they float over our minds and our lifts, and we don't even realize what we're singing. Most of us have memorized it as a child, but we've never really thought about what it means. Let me tell you a story. Francis Scott Key was a lawyer in Baltimore. The colonies were engaged in vicious conflict with the mother country, Britain. Because of this conflict and the protractedness of it, they had accumulated prisoners on both sides. The American colonies had prisoners and the British had prisoners, and the American government initiated a move. They went to the British and they said, let us negotiate for the release of these prisoners. They said, we want to send a man out to discuss this with you. They were holding the American prisoners in boats about one thousand yards off shore, and they said, we want to send a man by the name of Francis scot Key. He will come out and negotiate to see if we can make a mutual exchange. On the appointed day in a row boat, he went out to this boat and he negotiated with the British officials and they reached a conclusion that men could be exchanged on a one for one basis. Francis scott Key, jubulant with the fact that he'd been successful, went down below in the boat and what he found was a cargo hold full of humanity men and he said, men, I've got news for you. Tonight you're free. He said, tonight I have negotiated successfully or returned to the colonies. He said, you'll be taken out of this boat, out of this spilt, out of your chains. As he went back up on board to arrange for their passage to the shore, the admiral came and he said, we have a slight problem. He said, we will still honor our commitment to release these men, but it'll be merely academic. After tonight, it won't matter. And Francis scott Key said, what do you mean. He said, well, mister Key, he said, tonight we have laid an ultimatum upon the colonies. Your people will either capitulate and lay down the colors of that flag that you think so much of, or you see that fort right over there, Fort Henry, He said, we're going to remove it from the face of the earth. He said, how are you going to that? He said, if you will scan the horizon of the sea, and as he looked, he could see hundreds of little dots, and he said, that's the entire British war fleet. He said, all of the gunpower, all of the armament is being called upon to demolish that fort. It will be here within striking distance in a matter of about two and a half hours. He said, the war is over. These men would be free anyway. He said, you can't show that for it. He said, that's a large fort. He said, it's full of women and children. He says, it's predominantly not a military fort. They said, don't worry about it. They said, we've left them away out and he said, what's that? He said, do you see that flag way up on the rampart. He said, we have told them that if they will lower that flag, the shelling will stop immediately and we'll know that they've surrendered, and you'll now be under British rule. Francis scott Key went down below and told the men what was about to happen. And he said how many ships? He said hundreds. The ships got closer. Frances scot Key went back up on top of and he said, men, I'll shout down to you what's going on? As we watch as twilight began to fall, and as the haze hung over the ocean, as the desert sunset. Suddenly the British war fleet unleashed. He says the sound was deafening. There were so many guns that there were no reliefs. He said, it was absolutely impossible to talk her here. He said. Suddenly the sky, although dark, was suddenly lit. And he says from down below, all he could hear the men, the prisoners saying, was tell us where the flag is? What have they done with the flag? Is the flag still flying over the rampart? Tell us one hour, two hours, three hours into the shelling. Every time the bomb would explode and it would be close to the flag, they could see the flag in the illuminated red glare of that bomb, and Francis scott Key would report down to the men below it's still up. It's not down. The admiral came and he said, your people are insane. He said, what's the matter with them? He said, don't they understand this is an impossible situation. Francis scott Key said he remembered what George Washington had said. He said, the thing that sets the American Christian apart from all other people in the world is he will die on his feet before he'll live on his knees. He said, we have now instructed all of the guns to focus on the rampart to take that flag down. He said, we don't understand something. Our reconnaissance tells us that that flag has been hit directly again and again and again, and yet it's still flying. We don't understand that. But he said, now we're about to bring every gun for the next three hours to bear on that point. Francis scott Key said the barrage was unmerciful. All that he could hear was the men down below praying the prayer God keep that flag flying where we last saw it. Sunrise came. He said, there was a heavy mishanging over the land, but the rampart was tall enough there stood the flag completely nondescript in shreds. The flag pole itself was at a crazy angle, but the flag was still at the top. Francis scott Key went aboard and immediately went into Fort Henry to see what had happened. And what he found it happened was that that flag pole and that flag had suffered repetitious direct hits, and when hit had fallen. But men bothers who knew what it meant for that flag to be on the ground, although knowing that all of the British guns were trained on it, walked over and held it up humanly. Until they died. Their bodies were removed and others took their place. Francis scott Key said, what held that flag pole in place at that unusual angle were Patriots' bodies. He penned the song, osay, can you see by the dawn's early light, what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Or the rocket's red glare? The bombs bursting in air gave proof through the night that the flag was still there. O say, does that star spangled banner yet fly and wave? Or the Land of the Free and the home of the brave the debt was demanded, the price it was paid
