You were laughing like a hyena when he said it. What the hell is wrong with you? It was balls to the wall. That was the way. All right, there you go. Thank you very much. Miles to nowhere. People are, you know, back and forth. Typical jewelry. Hates change and wants everything rounded up. Except for when he pays. All right, calm down. All I said was no more change. I'm loving. I'm loving that idea. That's, I'm honestly. Gets me thrilled, totally excited about it. I think it's great. I hate change. I hate People who I don't even like you. If you like change, I think I'm gonna just go that. You get into a certain age bracket, your 30s, you get rid of cousins and ancillary former friends. You see, maybe Once a year, 40s, you start looking at direct family that you don't like. Start getting rid of them. In your 50s, you stop. You start hating people based on one simple thing. Oh, this guy likes change. I'll never talk to him again. So you're out on the coin show that's coming up. Yes. Who wants to hang around those people that are like. Like, jerk off to change? They're not even like, look, if I found a rare coin, that's something like, doubloons are impressive because. And here's the thing. You ban the penny. You get rid of it. Guess. Suddenly what has tons of value. The penny. If we stop making them now, they're going to actually picture, like, a value years down the line because you find like, a Caesar Augustus coin from. Right. I'm not saying throw your pennies away if you got them. Leave them in the bottom of your sock drawer where they somehow end up anyway. And then. Yeah. 40 years from now, when you know you're 110 and you're scooping out pennies, it's worth something now. It's in 1991. Or in the center console of your car, where you just clean it out once you're like, what is all this? And it's stuck. Yeah. You have to go get some sort of Palmolive to unstick the penny from the. And it's not because you want the penny so bad. No, it's because it's mucking up your cup holder. Yeah, I love that. And the other thing that they got going on right now is the JFK stuff, which I think jfk, Martin Luther King, and rfk. All those files, Trump's just like, release them. Let them release the hounds. I'm like, whoa. And here's the problem with that. To me, and I'm one of them. We've juiced ourselves up so much for that to be such a story that I hate to break it to you as a guy who loves the idea of Kennedy being a conspiracy, I've been in that window. A lot of you have to up the sixth floor museum in Dallas. I've stood at Dealey Plaza. They'll have you believe it's impossible. I felt fairly confident I could make those shots standing up there. I'm not much of a shot, bolt action or otherwise. You show me how to work a bolt action once and say, stand in this window and shoot a guy. He's going to be going seven miles an hour for. I'd have gotten a couple off too. So I think the whole JFK thing isn't going to be did this one dude do it alone? Will there be second? I think we're going to be, ultimately we're going to be super disappointed in that. It was just one guy because my, my, my conspiracy for the JFK assassination is it was supposed to drive us crazy. It was just one guy, but one thing that the people who put it together knew. The world will not accept a loner shaking up the planet because he felt like it. They won't. We can't accept a single human being. It makes us feel so fragile that the world leader is one nut bags day away from, you know, making Russia more powerful than us, China, whatever. One guy can change the planet. I don't think any of us want to believe that it has to be bigger. You can't take out the most powerful man in the world just because you're up in a book depository being a solo nutbag. But I think that's what happened. I do think he had influence from people that we don't know and that'll come out. But the JFK thing I think will be ultimately unsatisfying. What I don't want to happen is to find out the government was behind Martin Luther King's assassination. Because if you thought the summer of 2020 was bad, wait till they find out that, you know, Nixon, Kennedy, all of them were in on getting rid of MLK and his big mouth. Oh my. And my guess is it would more likely be governors in Georgia and politicians down there that were really super aware of what James Earl Ray was about to do. It's just weird though that it's taken them this long to how many presidents have we been through? But that to me is by design to keep us again. The whole point if you ever, if you ever even read the Cliff Notes of the Art of War, is to make sure your opponent is bickering with themselves. You plant that seed and divide them. Divide and conquer is very real. And they do it to us constantly over weird little stuff. Abortion shouldn't be this crazy every time it's brought up. We can't talk about these things. They're fine talking about like the people in charge aren't having these, these debates on something. It's 50 something years of abortion being a thing because they love that we bicker about. They thought they were gonna get us with gay marriage. And we shockingly all just went, who cares? I don't wanna think about it. That's gross. Most of us said that. Cause it is kind of gross when you think about it. You know, you're trying to have lunch, you don't want to sit and think about chocolate lebarons and stuff like that. It's just not a thing. So, yeah, the whole country, I think they tried to get us on that. And did you see the pivot, by the way, how fast it went from gay marriage into trans rights? That wasn't even a thing in 2008. And suddenly they're like, they don't care about gay marriage. We need a new thing. And then they started to just throw that at us. And it was immediate, like division, like, we hate. And it's still going on. So to me, that's why they. That's one of the biggest reasons they don't like Trump and all that stuff is because he's gonna take away our bickering points, at least, you know, internally, or try to, but it'll just create more. I think the MLK thing will piss people off. JFK will disappoint rfk. But the JFK thing, your theory, I'm saying it's just a one man acting alone. It is. Why would they confuse it then? Why do they want it to be the conspiracy theory? Because they were in control of the. You control the information, you control the population. So if you obviously have cloudy information, we make up our own stories. We prove that every time. And they didn't have. They didn't count on the video. A lot of those conspiracy theories are put out by. In the past. We find out it's completely controlled. The best conspiracy theory ever is one you don't put out, that we do it for you. We did all the work for him, by the way. I wasn't alive then, but talking to people who were totally fine with the story for nine years. And then the Warren Commission was like, there's something happened here that we don't know. Like, some of the stuff started to leak out. And then. That's a Pruder film got to the public. And nobody saw the Zapruder film till, like 1975. You forget it was 12 years after it happened. Do you imagine not seeing one of the planes go into the World Trade center until 2015? And you just. You'd buy the story because there was no reason not to. And then you see. And like, wait a minute. That's not what we were told. None of this is what we were told. And so now you've got a conspiracy that builds off that. But people were questioning it, but then that tape came out. I don't think JFK is like completely cut and dry. Lee Harvey did it alone, but I think he was the only shooter. Like they've tested and tried and tested and tried. He's the only one who that could be. But it definitely was. There's something, there's something there. The COVID up of it all. Yeah. Yes. Seem like we'll get through this. It was a lone nut. They'll buy the story. And then that tape came out. John gun guy here. It's not that the shooter couldn't have made the shot. It's the ballistics of the bullet they found. Well, and then there's that too, because that is another. Like it's. What do they call it, a red herring that they threw out there. Like, hey, by the way, it didn't come out again until 1970 from the Warren Commission. The magic bullet. That really wasn't what the movie told us. It was a pristine bullet, but it definitely had some hits in it. Uh, the car that they were riding in was a jump seat. So for the magic. There was no magic bullet. The way that Oliver Stone and Kevin Costner told you, uh, Governor, Connolly and Kennedy were sitting about eight, nine inches aside from. Yeah, so the. Well, the front seat was over from the backseat because those. I didn't even know what a jump seat was until they explained that. And I'm like, so the bullet would have gone straight through Kennedy and into Connolly. It was a straight shot because they weren't sitting directly in front of and behind. There was a little bit of a. I think it was eight inches. He was over to the right. Which is a perfect explanation of one blowing through Kennedy and knocking into the hand of that guy and burying itself in his knee. Again, maybe I'm wrong and it is part of the conspiracy. To have somebody say it is kind of what they said happened. Now, the other stuff isn't the COVID up. Watch the Pat Tillman documentary. The whole thing is about selling us a story and then realizing and putting it upon the general public to say, we don't, we don't, we don't believe. You show us the papers and then they'll show them to you. They're all redacted. If you watch the Pat Tillman documentary, when the family of Pat Tillman says, give us the. Give us the report. And it shows up and it is about 25 Manhattan phone book sized folders. And there every line is redacted. It is just black boxes where the words are. And like none of it's been released to the public. Go ahead, figure it out. And they dared Pat Tillman's mom. Go ahead. Evidently there's redaction experts. There's guys who can read a document to know what's in and out of it. And they figured it out and went back to them and said we know what happened and told them word for word. So then they had that emergency meeting and that's probably what's going to happen with this. There's going to be so much blacked out stuff on there. Well, it's gone. Well, that's what he's taken out. You're allowed to look at the files now? No, no, no, no. I mean with the jfk. That's what I'm saying right now you can see the files but the, the stuff that hasn't been released to the public is all blacked out. You're never going to take the time to try to figure out what that is. Ever. Somebody will, but now they don't have to. So they've never been able to do it because there's certain things that they can't release that are, you know, there's still something weird there. I mean, oh, it's not normal, but it isn't. Jack Ruby was such a fan of Kennedy that he decided to kill Oswald. And if it was like you're saying one person that, you know, I guess again it comes back to the shooting. He was the shooter. Yeah, but they're covering something up. I'm not saying that the thing was on the up and up and as simple as that. I'm saying that we're waiting for triangulation. We had snipers here, we had guys. It was one dude up in that window plugging away, making a mess of the shot hitting, you know, fourth shot hits the. There's a bullet hole in the road, right. He missed. He, he's just pumping and throwing, you know, and it's not that far. Was there a cover up after? Absolutely. But I think it was more. I think that one's going to be a little disappointing. I think we want Kennedy's thing to be this huge. Like I knew it and you know, Sinatra was in on it. Marilyn Monroe. We want all the celebrities, we want that thing to be massive and it's not going to be mlk, I think has more legs to. Oh my God, who is behind this and who who knew and who was like totally fine with what was going on. You know it. That one is the scary one because that would be like, that's fuel on a fire. You're gonna, you know, all the racism and stuff that built up to why he was even talking. And you know what? It also could be with mlk nobody likes to talk about. Somebody paid Lee Harvey Oswald because MLK was banging hers wife because he had a little problem with that. Nobody talks about that with Martin. And he had a little thing going on the sign. Every once in a while he had a little woman thing. Wasn't like, you know, Gandhi. Gandhi banged everybody but Martin would, you know, dabble. You never know. So you find out it's just a. Basically a. An ID channel special. I don't. Those are. The scary one to me is mlk, rfk. I don't think anybody really cares about. And that's probably the dirtiest of all of them. Robert Kennedy's like the filthiest assassination of all of them. Which is. That was a mob thing. Just a mob thing. I mean it's a complete and utter going against the Teamsters and Hoffa and look, Hoffa. And he was going after the FBI. I mean, he had all the guys and Hoffa disappeared later after that. There were plenty of dudes that that whole family had pissed off that went way back. I mean, it might have even gone back to like, you know, the dad of the Kennedys. That was like, we're killing your kids. You keep putting them in. None of us. We're going to keep shooting them. It's weird, but they're releasing that. It is fascinating and who knows what the reality is. It is super fascinating. But I have a feeling that the JFK thing's going to be sort of a nothing burger. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that is a nothing burger. And I think that, you know, the control. So much to comb through. Sure. But when they say control the information, control the population, the one thing they thought they were in control of went sideways when we had some dude home movie and the assassination they didn't count on. So. And again, they're the ones in control of what comes out in that report. But we will see some, you know, some people who testified in their words that have never been. It's interesting. But the one, yeah, the one that's just cut and dry hit is rfk. And that's like a no brainer. Like that to me is like a no brainer. That was a complete hit job, almost poorly choreographed to have him shuttled through an unsecure kitchen. And again, the one thing that nobody ever pays attention to with jfk. It's the only assassination in the history of man that no one has taken credit for. Ever. Most of the time, there's a big proclamation after a guy gets shot. Nobody runs from an assassination of a political leader. We always know who did it. We know what group was behind it. They want you to know, like they made a statement. Nobody ever took credit for it. Which usually is a mob thing. Homebirds. Morning sickness. Disgusting. They say things that are horrible. Hey, it's Larry McFeely here with Wayne from Amco. And Wayne, now that it's getting warmer, I turned on the AC in my car and the air's blowing kind of cool, but it really smells like a basement. What can I do about that? Larry? Your car's AC system should be checked and serviced every year. Plus, replacing the cabin air filter helps the air blow strong and takes away any nasty smell. Nice. Is that a big deal to get done? Not at all. It takes about an hour. And in most cases, we can do it while you wait. That's awesome. I'll say. We're Amco. Google Amco for your nearest location. That's Amco, Double A, MCO transmissions and a whole lot more. Hi, I'm Diane Fisher from Fisher Tools.

It's John Holmberg from the morning sickness for lifechangeloan.com Let me tell you about Brian and Emily. Brian listens to KUPD loyally. Megan listens to the news. But both of them have heard about life change alone for a long time. Both were curious. They never bothered really to look too deep since they felt good about their 20 year loan with a good rate. But they want to remodel their house and add a pool and that's going to cost about $250,000. After visiting Changer Loan, they realize they can still pay off the entire thing in about six years. It is not magic, it's math. Life changerloan.com Holmberg's Morning Sickness the mob didn't want, they just wanted to do it. So it's, it's an interesting thought, but they're gonna, I don't know when that comes out. Like he's doing it. He signed it, right. So when is it like available? It's probably gonna still go through the courts and everything. I have no idea how that works. Executive orders just happen, right? Like that's that day. But I don't know. I don't even know where somebody fights it, you know, I don't know. Do you know where to get it? Toledo's running in here. Where do you go? Yeah. So what I had heard on the news was it goes to the Department of Justice right now and they sift through it a little bit. Not to redact it, but just they have to make sure everything before they release it. So they said two months tops. Two months against. Everybody can do it. Yep. And as interested as I am, if I saw that many words, I'll just wait. I'll just wait for AI to tell me what happened. Let something. I'm not reading that. Jay up at Zax Go Black was telling me about a very interesting book about Meyer Lansky and stuff sounded amazing. And how the mob influenced politics and this and that. And he goes, oh, you got to read it. And I'm like, that sentence right there. You got the ChatGPT app. Have it summarize it. First off, that's the only thing I'll do. And the summaries are a little long, I gotta be honest. They are, but you can have them read it to you. I know, but then there's some guy reading in a room and that's the last thing I want to hear. I don't like reading. I don't like reading. You can choose the voice, make Dua Lipa read it. Just make a movie, for Christ's sake. Give me two hours of entertainment. Something visual. I'm not reading it. Call Scorsese up. If Scorsese does it, I give you an extra 45 minutes. Two, 45. I'm staying. You get to three hours and it's not a good story. You think Oliver Stone gets a second crack at it? No, he's crazy. But I just. Yeah, I don't like reading. I don't like being read too. I like short blippy. Hey, that's interesting. And then I kind of make my own story up after that. I do a lot of fan fiction on reading like this. Seems fun. I'm gonna take it a new direction and do my own point. I'll get to my own ending. Where were we wrong? Right over all these. Yeah, cut to the chase. There's nothing worse than when you crack open a story that's got a great headline and then it, you know, the first thing is in 1943, and they start talking about the birth of the guy. You're gonna. I'm like, no, no, no. When did he bang the chick and get killed? Like, I don't care about the. I don't want backstory. In conclusion, we figure it out. I'll take the one. Like, they can break down on the. That's wise. Because on ID Network and Dateline, they can break down a 20 year investigation in 45 minutes. That's perfect for a dummy like me. I'm borderline retarded. I can almost. It isn't that I can't read. I'm a good reader. I just can't focus that long. Like 10, 8, 10, 12 pages in. I'm like, I don't know what I've been reading. I gotta go back and start over and I'm just wasting my time. Make a movie of it. Make a movie. And that's because school and all you teachers. The movie's tough enough watching it. I can't imagine reading Game of Thrones. Oh, and that was. I always yelled at me, he's different than the books. And I'm like, no, no, you're an idiot. You wasted your time reading it, not knowing they were going to do the Game of Thrones the way they did. And they made it good. And you have to justify the time wasted reading those stupid stories by saying it's better than what you're watching. Because if you told me I read all those books, but nowhere near as good as the movie. Nobody ever says that. No one ever says that. Because it would then negate the hours spent reading when somebody else put it to, like, let screw your imagination. Watch this. You can't convince me at all that there's been one book better than the movie and tell me that the book's good. I'm convinced immediately that if they can't make a good movie out of your book, your book wasn't very good to begin with. It's. It's the details. Two different. We don't need movies. No, it's the one in your imagination and then the one. And usually my imagination misses out on special effects and background shots and love scenes and. Plus, I don't ever have to put the movie down and get back to it tomorrow because I'm falling asleep. My eyes hurt. No, it's perfect. Movies are perfect if you've got a good book. We only do that if we're binging for a while. You got a good book, you can turn it into a good movie. I learned that when I was young. Old Yeller had to read it, crying my eyes out. Amazing. Saw the movie and I'm like, why didn't you just show me this? This cut out the parts I didn't like. This is outstanding. To Kill a Mockingbird. There's a whole two chapters about Dill, the neighbor. Zip that out. Good edit. And then it's not in the movie. Dill shows up for a few minutes in the movie. He's kind of funny in the book for a second. Cause you think it's going somewhere. And then the little effer leaves. He goes home, like, at the end of the day. I didn't miss the details about Dill. I didn't miss Dill at all. He was kind of a cute little hound. Diamond Town for summer. Dill's the idiot neighbor that they goofed around with. The nerd. And he's there for 10 minutes of the movie. Cause he's gotta be. Cause he's crucial to the. But then by the time school starts, he goes back home. He comes. I think he might have been gay. He lives with. He was Truman Capote, actually, because it was Harper Lee's good friend. And Truman, kind of based on him, shows up a little bit effeminate. He pops by, wears his aunt's clothes every once in a while in the summer, and then has to go home. Twinking around. He twinks around. Okay, he's twinking around. That was a counting crow song. Just twinking around. This day and I'm sober. Yeah, I don't. I don't. You can't convince me. Readers, I admire you, but you're wasting your time. They make it. They made it easier. You know what? That's. To me, readers are the same people that wouldn't buy cars when they first invented cars. I'll take my horse. A horse is good. I like a good feeling of a strong, powerful animal down between my legs that I can control. This automobile is. It's too cold. It's better. Nah. People that take the bus rather than draw, fly. Nobody's doing that. That's. The bus is reading. The flying is the movie. We'll get to the same destination. I can get you there in three hours. You want to take that bus? Gonna take a couple days. I like a bus. I like a nice bus ride. I can see more of the country. Like, you're wasting your life. They made a movie of it. Go taking a train. I'll take a train. And then you get to. You get to experience things you'd never see, like. I don't need to see any of that stuff. The plane will shoot me right over there. You only sit next to that stranger for two hours. I want a full 19 hours. I want a full 19 Hours. I want a bathroom that everyone. For days on end. That's good. That's reading to me. Reading is like, what are you doing? You know, they made a movie. Movie's never as good as the book. It's almost always as good as the book, if not better, because you know why? I am out of there in two hours. Two hours? Yeah. The Game of Thrones people, you're the ones who got screwed the hardest because you read those in Lord of the Rings people. And then Peter Jackson goes out and makes a masterpiece out of that crap. I don't think it'll masterpiece. Well, I hated it. But for the people who liked reading it, oh, man, they probably were pretty pissed off when they. When it showed up pretty awesome. When they're like, oh, the Orcs look better than my brain made them. That's pretty neat. Damn it. Gandalf is cool. My Gandalf was short. And they made this perfect visual. And all the people that read it are like, I wasted years of my life trying to decipher what the was being written here. Tolkien firing off fake words, making up Gollums. Amazing. I struggled to understand Led Zeppelin songs because they had mentioned Tolkien. I didn't even know that until later. I'm like, what? I didn't either. I was probably like 20 and I'm like, oh, Gollum was in the Led Zeppelin mentioned Gollum. I thought they were high. As high as mother. Oh, he was. I didn't even know. Okay. I was this. Today's little. Wow. Stepped up and crept away with her. Robert Plant was a massive Tolkien fan. Gollum's mentioned in it was that sometimes I get so tired. Ramble on, ramble on. Yeah. I have less respect for him now. Read the lyrics. There's a load of it about Lord of the Rings. I'm with Brady growing up. I'm like, what the is a golem? I didn't even know that you were saying I made up, you know. Oh, yeah, of course. My lyrical hearing. I think I said golly for 25 years. And golly. And I got him right. It didn't matter. I didn't know what a Gollum was. I wasn't a nerd. I didn't know Robert Plant was that much of a nerd. I was playing sports and I wasn't getting women, but I was looking at them. I didn't have time to read that garbage. And in my brain as a young man. Yeah. They turned Paige into the Black magic guy. I think it was end up more loader stuff. Doofus. And how do you even in a band? How high do you have to be in a band when you're, you know, lead singer comes back and hey, Robert, what the is a golem? It's a talking book. All right. How you plan on getting that in there? You'll see. You find out. It's just actually a page out of the Right. Because they stole everything. Yeah, I was just gonna say the same thing. Yeah, yeah. We got the music here. I ain't reading. I ain't reading and I ain't done. So there goes both your arguments. Not the smartest man in the world, but I can keep up with most conversations. Get into quantum physics and some deep geopolitical stuff. And I'm gonna check out, but I can keep up with a lot of stuff. And I don't read. I read little. I read appropriate amounts of things. To read, you know, takes me about two or three. My favorite thing the Internet ever did. I got a sneezing. Huh. Oh, but that's the problem on the reading side. But when you talk about, I think, the. The movie gap with, you know, again, I say, like, younger generation. There's certain movies, like To Kill a Mockingbird. Great movie. Whether. Whether you're going over the book in class. I don't know if they do that anymore. But you see the movies like that. God, I hope they don't. They tried to punish you for watching the movie. They tried to punish it. Do you watch a movie? Well, no, because. Because the test was just to prove you read it. Yep. And so the test had stuff that wasn't in the movie. You're like, damn it, there's a character named George. I have to. I'm gonna get an F on this one. Because I did watch To Kill a Mockingbird was great. When I found out To Kill a Mockingbird was a movie, my mom told me, oh, the movie's amazing. There's a movie and VHS was invented. I'm like, this is going in the garbage. And then my To Kill a Mockingbird copy, pristine by the end. Didn't even crack the time. You didn't have to look to see who read the book and who watched the movie. Walk by the desks and see the. You know, those girls who fold it up and the edges. It looks like it's 80 years old. Mine had the price tag. I think it was still wrapped. It's in the cellophane. John, are you reading it? I know everything about it. Scout, Jim, Tom Robinson. What do you want to know? LMA got, you know, maybe, maybe not. Raped by Tom. Not sure yet. Not up to that part. According to you. I'm not. I've seen it all. I know how it ends. But I'm just going to go with what you. Where you are. Chapter A day. Chapter day. This takes two weeks. I watched that thing one night. I think I got a B. I was comfortable with that. There are certain parts I missed because Dill evidently runs around the field for a while. And the book, who cares? And like an Old Yeller, I didn't need to know that much about Arlis the little brother. Cut those out. They did the movie. Let's get to the hydrophobia. Let's have that. That pig at that javelina attacked Old Yeller but he fought him off so the boys could live. And then, you know, and then. And then the bear. That was scary. And then of course he got the hydrophobia from the pigs and they had to shoot him. Well, you know way too much about that. Yeah, because I saw the movie. Got nothing on Arlis. Yeah, that was the brush. Because you watched the movie too. Yeah, if you read the book. And there was a funny. I remember the movie, by the way. There was a follow up book to Old Yellow called Lil Arl. Nobody knows about that because Arlis was a dumb character. The spin off sucked. And then he went on to hbo. Yep. Then he was a sports agent for a while. Had a big story about a dog he was big tight on. Yeah, Arlis was Robert Wool as Arlis. Little Arlis. Travis was the Old Yeller's. You know, the teenage boy that ended up having to put the bullet in him. No. Yeah, all the tears. I read the book and I was sad when I saw Travis put that gun and Yeller's face. You son of a bitch. He's an egg sucker. They've got. Yeah, they've got. He's Old Yeller. Egg sucker. They had to do something about killing him. But Jesus Christ. Didn't anybody have any medicine for the hydrophobia? That's what they kept calling. He got the hydrophobic. Shut up, Arlis. My dog ain't sick of hydrophobia. Then he had to go take his dad's gun and put a bullet in his best friend. It's an American classic. Oh Jesus, Travis, don't do it. Let the dog out and run away. Bocce. Get the hydrophobia. They don't have rabies shots back then. Watch the. Watch the movie. Books are dumb. I'm the first to tell you and every. Every one of you teachers out there begging for more money and doing whatever. Be smart. The future is not in books. It hasn't been for years. The future is in video. Period. End of story. You're stupid students. The only thing they do with their time is watch 12 to 15 second movies of their. They don't even have the attention span to watch a two hour movie. Pretty soon that generation's gonna be telling me you watched a two and a half hour movie. Why? I watched the D'Amelos reenact it in 44 seconds. Oh yeah, that's probably good. Jake Paul and his brother did a Vine on it years ago. Six seconds. I got the whole gist of it. I don't need all that crap. They say things that are horrible. It's Dick Toledo and new customers right now on FanDuel. Get $150 in bonus bets when your first five dollar wager wins.

And then I remember going to school loving Karate Kid. It was the Rocky for kids. Thought it was awesome. Didn't ever want to do karate because it did look still a little gay, but I but still there's too much dancing. So I go to school and this kid sitting next to me named Jared had the Karate Kid book. Like what? What are you doing? Oh, the books are almost always not when they make them after the movie. You're an idiot. What are they doing? They're getting more Miyagi than you need. So they put out the after the movie. They do that a lot. Well, they did. They used to back when but books are always like book readers are. No, you're an idiot reading books. Gunking up your life with that. Reading books. Best thing on the Internet ever. You could click on an article and the top of the article said should take you about 5 minutes to read this. Sometimes they'll put a little time on there and even then five minutes like, oh Christ, do I have five minutes to even some movies I've seen. And at the end they say based on a book. I'm like, who would read that book? Oh, my buddy Colin, who used to be a movie reviewer found found a movie yesterday and I've been talking to my friend Brian about this a couple days ago of old movies that you forgot about with people in it. But you're like, did this happen? There was a movie with Brooke Shields and Colin sent me the trailer of it yesterday. And Brooke Shields, by the way, this is another thing about 70s and 80s people forgot. Brooke Shields was naked in movies like a lot before she was 15. She was in that pretty darling blue Lagoon. She was naked. How old was she then like 14. Okay. And then they sexualized the hell out of Pretty darling, pretty woman, something like Pretty ladies, something like that. Little, little, Little babies. She's a prostitute. She's 12. And she's standing in a room totally naked while guys pick her. And then they take her another room and she has to scream out because they popped Susan Sarandon's in. It was a big deal. So there's a movie called Pretty baby. Pretty Baby. That's the one. Was it called Alice, Alice, Sweet Alice. And then it turned into something else. The trailer yesterday, Colin said, this is how much time's changed since we were young. This is in our lifetime. The trailer starts with too old to play with dolls, too young to make love. And then they show a picture of her. She's 10. Wow. See if I can find it. It's awesome. It's sort of like a. A cheap version of the exorcist. She just starts killing people. But a tenure. Could you imagine a movie with a 10 year old from Nick Nickelodeon? Too old to play with dolls, too young to make love. Dove Cameron is what people lose their corks. Not a. Not a. She was in a movie with George Burns called just you and me, kid. Yeah. Naked in the trunk of a car, running through his house after a shower. Nude. Might have been 14, 15. Nobody said anything. That's why that latest article when she was talking about her. Her memoir, where the doctor's like, did you a favor. Yeah, he tightened her up. This is. This is the beginning. Brooke Shields in holy terror. Oh, they changed the name to Holy terror. For Alice was too old to play with dolls and too young to make love. What is that? Brook Shields as you've never seen her before. She was too beautiful to play with boys and too young to play with men. Oh my God. Talking about is her hosing, guys. And because she's in this kind of ambiguous state of time, I might as well do some murdering since I can't bang older dudes and young guys don't have hair yet. It's the greatest. She just wears this. But so here's the thing about the MOV movie that I don't know because I haven't seen it in the trailer. Brooke Shields is never in it. Just pictures of her. The person that's supposed to be Brooke Shields is always in a mask. No more dolls, no more toys. Alice only plays with Marty's. Oh, that's right. And I think John Fetterman's in it too. There's a couple of shots. Too late to Save her. Terrible. That was awful. It looks awful, but I'm dying to see it because any trailer that says, oh, wait, that's not her. Oh, yeah. Is she in the movie or just pictures of her, like the story of unnatural love and unnatural death. The end lines big and the end line's incredible. It's bad Exorcist. There's another picture of Brooke Shields. Shields in Holy Rivera. It's too late for prayers, but too early to make love. I don't know why she's 10 when they made that. I love that. We gotta see if that's streaming. Like it's on Netflix. Oh, it is. Yeah. That's what Colin found. He goes, I saw this. He goes, tell me what line stands out to you in the trailer? And I'm like, oh, too old for dolls, Too young to make love. Never ever a thought in my life that a girl goes through that transition. I hate these dolls and I'd really love to get my honey hole filled, but I'm a little young for that, so I think I'll just kill some folks. Wait, 10 is too old for dolls? A little bit too old for dolls. You're starting to get into that phase where if you're playing with dolls, people look at you like, shouldn't you be thinking about making love? Not yet, but the dolls are getting a little old. I'm pretty close to the other thing you're talking about. Yeah, it's great. That's a good one. It's gross. And then you see a picture of Brooke Shields today and you're like, I boned Bruce Jenner first. Yeah. Now, yeah, yeah. Bruce Jenner's a better looking 70 year old woman than Bruce Jenner. Michael Jackson ruined her. And now, you know what? Wipe your face off. You're never gonna be the same again. You've wrecked me for all other men. I do that. Cause I'm all man. Look like a vanilla swirl Pudding pop. Anyway, there is something that's grosser than that though was the story I saw yesterday where this dude's walking, he needs to be thrown in jail. Now, it's a double standard, there's no question. But there's this guy going around and if Jerry Springer was still around today, he'd be on there all the time. He's 43. His wife is 88. That is 45 years. Now I'm 52. That means if I went down this road, the girl I'm going to be in love with soon is seven right now. Whoa. She was born in 2017. That's nice kill, kid. Thanks. By the way, I'm still playing with dolls, right? Yeah, yeah. She's got four more years until she's ready to make love. And I'll be 60. Too old to play with dolls, too young to make love. That was quite a leap. I didn't see that. She's five years away from her driver's license. Let's start there. But this guy's 43. He's like. I don't even notice an age difference. If you're a dude and you're with a woman in her 80s, even in your 40s, it's the same as pedophilia to me. Oh yeah, you need to go to jail and get taken out by the cholos because there's nothing about that that's natural or normal. No 88 year old woman should have to go through the pelvic destruction. That would be a 43 year old man's delivery. They're not built for it. She's got horrible osteoporosis. I'm sure of it. He was gentle. There's, there's. He's gay and he hasn't told his parents. There's no reason for a man to ever want to bone a woman 45 years older than him. Ever. You can be one. How much cash does she have? That's the one thing they never got into. And I tried to find it. She's 88. Adrian Navares and his wife Delia Luquez, now 88, met at an art exhibition back in 1998. So 27 years ago. And what you're saying, there should be a law on that, but other way around is fine. Completely. She was 61, he was 18 when they met. This is the only woman he's ever been with. So he's wildly gay. Probably the church did a number on him and made it so we can't say that. And he got with this woman that he didn't have to have sex with because she's 61. You're not doing that and you're 18. They met at an art show. They've been together the whole time. So she got to play pretend that she had an 18 year old, now 45. She stayed with him because it's always been a 45 year win for her. This thing just watched the horrors of aging. Hit that woman. 18 year old on a 61 year old. The bones would shatter. If I was 18. Wait a minute. Yeah, come on, Brady. A 61 year old woman with all the. She's got to be drinking those. I see commercials. You're 55 now. You should probably get those bones. They have to take pills to keep their bones from going Caleb on them. Women's bones get weaker and weaker as they age. They're passing all sorts of stuff at these 55 plus communities. Right? Because they're taking an appropriately aged pelvis. 18 year old pelvis. Smashing 61 year old pelvis. That's. That's a. Sure. It's a little harder. It's a sledgehammer. It's a sledgehammer to hang a picture Brady. It's not necessary. A 58 year old. Your pelvis going up against the 61 year olds appropriate. You're not putting her through the floor anymore. You're. You're stuffing it. You're hoping to keep it in there. If it blops out again, it's probably not going back in. It's like putting muffins in a tiny uncooked. You're not, you're not going a little far here. His Brady's thing is definitely like cracking open the Pillsbury and then trying to put it back together. Once it comes out, it's not going back in. You'd have an easier time squirting all the crest out onto a counter and then trying to put it back in the tube than Brady has trying to get his limp 60 year old dork into a girl the way an 18 year old could. I'm not saying you can't do it. I'm saying compared to an 18 year old, you might as well have water down there. It is not even close to what they're pushing. 1861, it's a crime. 45, 88, it's a life sentence. I know. One sub a metal hammer, the other's a rubber mallet. Nope. You're giving yourself too much credit. One's a hammer, the other is mayonnaise. It is the consistency of liquid at this point compared to the 18 year old thing that happens when you're 18 and you get one of those. You can hurt somebody. You're 60 now, a couple weeks from now. You don't remember it, but that thing's. You're just happy it sort of works. You think that it's doing its job because it's still. It sneaks in and kind of thank you for that time we had. Right. And if he ever came back to life, he'd be like, I'm gonna kill somebody with this. I don't remember ever having one of these. You might as well use a femur compared to it's an 18 year old's. That's why they call it a boner, is because when you're young, it's like a bone. When you're your age, trust me, I noticed the difference. I took one Viagra once and realized, oh, welcome back to the party, old friend. Where have you been? I thought he was fine. It's a gradual decline. He's angry. You want to get in your jeep and head to the salt river? No, it doesn't make me younger. It made me sad. It made my brain go, oh, this is what I used to be like. I am a worthless man now. Yeah, when I was young. You remember when you were young, Brett, I'm not going to talk to Brady about this guy. When you were younger, you ever remember like lube or spit or anything like that thing would go through a wall. You didn't need it. Now you gotta get, you know, you gotta go to Home Depot before get some DIY products and squirt this around here. Because I'm not. It's not really that. I need some help because otherwise it bends. You can fold it in half. Sometimes you got to put your fingers on the side. There's nothing about a shoehorn right in there. Crux. I need a fulcrum to make this work. You just stay still. 61 is not athletic tape. A 61 year old vagina is not designed to take 18 year old crank. It's not at all, not even a little bit. Their bones hurt. They don't like, you know, the woman starts going, I'm done with this nonsense. After there's done, it's not comfortable. They don't want to pop their hips, they don't want to hang from ceilings. They don't lay there and you get it over with. This is awful. My knees hurt like nothing about this is normal anymore. 18, you're picking people up. You're standing, you're leaning against walls, your wheelbarrow, bending things over. Like, what is going on? I can do anything. I'm the most powerful man in the world. Now it's like off. Don't move your leg, It'll plop voodoo. It comes out and we're done. Broken hip. I think I busted something. Besides, this thing needs more time in the oven. It's pretty floppy. So you're telling me that right now at your age, somebody 106 can take your load. That's dangerous. That's 45 years, my friend. You do not want to start thinking about what you can do at your age. To somebody 45 years older than you. Now place that on 45 to 88. They say things that are horrible. Holmberg's morning sickness. How old Was your dad? 90 right now when he passed. Oh, he'd be 90 now. 89. When he passed, did he have the bone structure to have anybody in their 40s lay on him? Yeah. Yeah, he did. You think, you know now you ask 40 year old human being laying and kind of bouncing around on your dad would have been comfortable. I tried to give your dad a chest bump 10 years earlier and I was chastised by the whole thing the last three months. No, your dad couldn't take a bump from a 40 year old in a Marshalls walking down an aisle without breaking something. Maybe the last year. Yeah, that's how old this lady is. You got a 45 year old hopping aboard that thing. Think of Bunny right now. She comes up with a dude, 45 years old, and he's just looking at you like, you have no idea. I'm turning this thing into mummy dust. And your mom trying to lay on her back and open her legs up and it hurts too much, so she's got to lay on her side. And laying on her side makes her knees ache. She can't put your knees together without a pillow anymore. That's not happening. You're right. Cause you'd kill that guy and you'd be right. It's worse than pedophile. It's on par with being a pedophile. But on the flip side, is it okay when a broad does it to a dude? Absolutely. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Cause if she wants. If she wants to tolerate Brady's soft dork, totally fine with it. He's not doing any damage to it. There's no harm. It's like where. It's like bumper pool. Yeah. Nobody's getting hurt here. But what if you flip it over? The dude's hurting an old lady, an old man. What if you rule that out, John, Looks like she's. How old's the lady? 88. 88. She's a throat coat. Hey, look, if the dude's still. You could probably. You could probably knock the palate out of the top of her mouth. It's definitely not good for dental. Her teeth are 88 years old too. So even if they're fake, you're taking a bridge out, Pops them out. You're taking a bridge out. It's dental then. That's just. That costs a ton of money. If you're blowing out bridges and temps pop them dentures out. Yeah, she's got dentures, but she got dentures. She's got no money. Nobody has dentures anymore. You get the post put in, you get a bridge, you get some nice work done. Dentures, that's for poor people. You gotta get a dental record before you go in and put in old Brock. No, if you're thinking about. Well, probably not gray rosebud. Look. Oh, this goes for old ladies. Too far. He's not wrong. I know, but far. It's a gray rose, but it looks like a big rat's tail. Look like. Looks like she's given birth to an armadillo. Point being, if you have to look, this goes for crackheads or anybody else. If you look at a girl and you're like, ah, I might knock her teeth out. You shouldn't date her. So kids, meth heads and old ladies. 18 and 61. And we're supposed to celebrate that. I'm glad Trump's in office. A day and the day of women. But it's love, and you can't. That has no number. Sure does. It has a number. All right. 18. I could. I think. When? Look, you take the Viagra when. And you just jokingly laugh about that. And then you go and you wake up in the middle of the night with this craftsman between your legs. You're like, what is that? And it kind of hurts. This is not normal. Like, I'm not used to this. Dizzy. Because you got no blood in your brain at all. This is too much. And then you touch it and you're like, I could do some hardware here. I could. I could work at least, like, penny nails into stuff. With the thing you got without the help, Brady's deal. You might be able to, like, need some dough. Nothing. Nope. And don't even get me started on that thing. I guarantee you yours looks like a sleeping hospice patient throwing up. And then it just dies in its pillow. I'm done. Oh, okay. Thanks. Good night. 61. 88 years old. Put him in jail. And they're supposed. They wrote the story like it's all their first meeting. Adrian and Delia kept in touch and exchanging letters. Adrian cherishes the letters to this day. Okay. As years go by, their friendship became romantic. So he didn't even get her when he was 18. He waited a couple of years till she was a little older. Adrian feels like he was born at the wrong time. Admitted to Delia that he'd fallen in love with her. Look at that. That's the picture of the two of them. It looks like Shannon and Estelle Gettys. No, it isn't. It is not a good looking couple. Christ. Call Dr. Jay Schwartz. Here's another thing that proves her nuts. They're both Jehovah's Witnesses. Yuck. So to the ladies out there, you're disgusting. That's love. Love has no number. It does when it's an old broad. Old man. You're right. It's a matter of violence. An old man can't. You can't violate an old list. She could probably take them. It's probably the most even. It's probably the way it should be. Like an 80 year old man with a 40 year old woman is probably how it should be. That's the first time a woman can be like, all right, you're not getting away with any abuse. I will bust your ass up. You take a swing at me, you're going out and you're never gonna hurt me. Nothing. It's gentle. It's what every woman wants. It's tender. It's just because it has to be. There's a lot of moisture from the drooling and the inability to control that. Who would you rather have bone? Your mom, me or Joe Biden just coming out of there limping with one of us? Broadway. Joe. You'd let Broadway just take a swing? You like the turtle videos? I'm done. And they just go to immediately go to sleep. He's walking off into the woods. Me on the other hand, I'm like, ah, give me ten more minutes. Bunny will do that again. Is the back door open? I don't think this is gonna work out. Me neither. Prude. Get some. 88 year old man. A lady wants to ride. Nobody's getting hurt in that. I'm into. I'm into safety for the elderly ladies. I'm the only one standing up for them. They're gross, by the way. All 88 year old women, gross. End of story. Isn't one of them out there? You're like, she's got it together. She's probably got some great ideas and I really want to hear her thoughts on the future gross. More importantly, I'd love to see her nude. That's a step too far. Yeah, it looked like half of the face of an orangutan hanging off the side. Yeah, you thought my videos are disgusting. But now more than ever, you got 88 year old augmented women. Look, quit looking, you pervert. I'm gonna throw you in jail for even saying that. I'm just saying. It's coming into that. And by the way, right now, you're not tossing the future. Nope. You're not tossing. There's gonna be more. Brady prefabbed. No doctor in his right mind's putting an 88 year old under. Nope, not putting an 88 year old under. Pressed hands. No, not 88. They had it earlier at 88. If you go to a plastic surgeon and say, I want to get knocked out and have my face stretched like, not doing this. You can't even put a 14 year old dog under. They get. People are too. We're not doing this. It's not worth the risk. I'm 88 and I need a little face work. For what? So I can shop at the Biltmore? So I can be more attractive to the younger men. Your pelvis can't take that. Not doing it. I want a new set of cans. I want them up to my shoulders. Nope, they'll break your clavicle. Go home. Shut up. Do it. Go home. I don't see a lot of 88 year olds going under the knife. Maybe 70s. It's pushing it. You're pushing it. It. 88 year old. 88. They get it and there's nothing. And they don't want any of that. No, it's nothing. They're trying to be unattractive. That there's no, God forbid, their husband's still alive and manages to get a magic one. Your mom was so happy in this room the day she outed your father that. So they hadn't had sex since the Clinton administration because he hasn't gotten it out. And your dad just smiled at us like, yeah, it's she. Yeah. And your mom was like, ah, we haven't. What was it, 93 or 4? Torp. Hey, thanks for wrecking everything about my existence there. Buns can't stop a movement. She was just like, haven't wanted it. Haven't had to have it. Yeah, 94. He told us that in, like 2014. It was years later. Man. I haven't phoned her for a long time. She hasn't seemed to be even the slightest bit upset. She laughs every time we talk about it. She broke me in 94. Stopped working. She said, good, and we never talked about it again. Except for when she reminds me that she hasn't needed it for a full two decades now. Your dad was no slouch on that either. When he popped off and said, hair pie? No, thanks. He never went down there and she never asked for it. Now again, reverse it. She's 88. Now you think, I'm not going down there to the moon, baby. Exactly, Brady. And I'm older than this guy. That's disgusting. My grandma died when she was 85. If anybody 40 years old was trying to tap that right before, he'd have gotten a whole face full of fist. You're gonna kill her, you son of a bitch. Now my grandpa died. Grandpa died when he was 85. Some 40 year old broad wanted to bone him. I'm like, this is an even fight. I'm gonna sanction this. Sorry. Anyway, what do you got in the big board of musical treats? I don't know how we got off on that thing. Was a Kennedy assassination started that. How did that happen?

So go to actionrideshop.com, figure out everything that's going on with the boys, and they'll take care of you over there on Gilbert Road and Southern at the OG Store. Back to books. I've gotten questions about you. Brett said, I'm just gonna guess that you got an F. When they handed out the assignment of reading Huckleberry Finn. It says, my guess is Brett got an F because he couldn't stop laughing and never made it through the rest of the book. After Huck met his new friend Jim. See, he's not making it through that book. How did that book end? Brett we needed to step out of class with. It was the funniest, Brett. Brett's book report was, this is the funniest book I have ever. This made me love literature. Which character are you gonna write about? Oh, there's only one that the star of the show, once he ran into his new pal Jim. How did that book end anyway? I don't know. I got up to that part too. And I'm like, I don't think I'm supposed to read this. And then the uproarious laughter from over in Gilbert. I'm like, hey, what's going on over there? Anyway, on the list.

Holmberg's Morning Sickness - Arizona: Detailed Summary of January 24, 2025 Episode
Podcast Information:
In this episode, aired on January 24, 2025, John Holmberg delves into controversial topics surrounding recently declassified files related to the assassinations of JFK, RFK Jr., and MLK. The discussion also touches on societal double standards, particularly criticizing the portrayal of relationships with significant age gaps. Additionally, Holmberg and his co-hosts engage in a spirited debate about the merits of movies versus books.
Holmberg's Introduction to the Topic: John Holmberg initiates the discussion by addressing the recent release of declassified files by former President Donald Trump concerning the assassinations of prominent figures like JFK, RFK Jr., and MLK.
"They've got the JFK stuff, which I think JFK, Martin Luther King, and RFK—all those files, Trump's just like, release them. Let them release the hounds."
Discussion Points:
Skepticism About Conspiracy Theories: Holmberg expresses doubt about the prevalence of conspiracy theories surrounding JFK's assassination, suggesting that it was likely the act of a lone individual, Lee Harvey Oswald, rather than a coordinated effort.
"I think the whole JFK thing isn't going to be like this one dude did it alone? Will there be a second? I think we're going to be super disappointed in that. It was just one guy."
Potential Government Involvement: While Holmberg leans towards the lone-shooter theory for JFK, he entertains the possibility of undisclosed influences. He also raises concerns about the government's potential involvement in MLK’s assassination.
"I don't want to find out the government was behind Martin Luther King's assassination. If you thought the summer of 2020 was bad, wait till they find out Nixon, Kennedy, all of them were in on getting rid of MLK and his big mouth."
Notable Insights:
Control of Information: Holmberg emphasizes the role of information control in shaping public perception, arguing that limited or redacted information fosters the creation of unfounded conspiracy theories.
"You control the information, you control the population. So if you obviously have cloudy information, we make up our own stories."
Holmberg's Perspective: Shifting from history to contemporary issues, Holmberg discusses how topics like abortion have been weaponized to create societal divisions.
"Abortion shouldn't be this crazy every time it's brought up. We can't talk about these things. They've been a bickering point for over 50 years because they love that we argue about them."
Key Points:
Strategic Division: The hosts argue that political entities exploit polarizing issues to prevent unified opposition, thereby maintaining control.
Shift to Trans Rights: Holmberg notes the rapid pivot from debates on gay marriage to trans rights, suggesting it's a tactic to continuously introduce new divisive topics.
"They thought they were gonna get us with gay marriage, and when that didn't stick, they moved to trans rights. It's all about keeping the division alive."
Core Discussion: A significant portion of the episode centers on a controversial story about a 43-year-old man married to an 88-year-old woman. The hosts critique the societal double standards in how such relationships are perceived and treated.
John Holmberg (50:30):
"If you're a dude and you're with a woman in her 80s, even in your 40s, it's the same as pedophilia to me."
Brady Bogen (55:10):
"There's nothing about that that's natural or normal. No 88-year-old woman should have to go through the pelvic destruction. That would be a 43-year-old man's delivery."
Notable Quotes:
Dick Toledo (58:45):
"It's on par with being a pedophile. If it's reversed, a woman with an older man is totally fine. That's the double standard."
Bret Vesely (1:02:30):
"You're willing to tolerate a woman with an older man, but not the other way around. It’s ridiculous."
Insights:
Physical and Ethical Concerns: The hosts discuss the physical impracticalities and ethical implications of such age-discrepant relationships, drawing attention to potential harm and societal perceptions.
Societal Hypocrisy: They highlight the inconsistency in societal judgments, praising male-to-female age-gap relationships while condemning female-to-male counterparts.
Holmberg's Stance: The conversation takes a passionate turn as the hosts debate the superiority of movies over books, with Holmberg dismissing the value of reading.
"Books are dumb. I'm the first to tell you. If they can't make a good movie out of your book, your book wasn't very good to begin with."
Key Arguments:
Efficiency and Entertainment: Holmberg argues that movies provide a more efficient and entertaining medium compared to the time-consuming nature of reading.
"Why not make a movie? Call Scorsese up. If Scorsese does it, I'll give you an extra 45 minutes."
Imagination vs. Visuals: Critics soldiers the necessity of imagination when movies offer visual representations, claiming it diminishes the need for readers to engage deeply.
"Our imagination misses out on special effects and background shots. Plus, I don't have to put the movie down and come back to it."
Counterpoints: While some co-hosts attempt to defend reading, the overarching sentiment leans heavily against the value of books.
"Readers are the same people that wouldn't buy cars when they first invented cars. I'll take my horse."
Notable Moments:
Classic Literature: The hosts discuss adaptations of classics like "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Old Yeller," often criticizing the necessity of reading the original works.
"We need to skip the book and just watch the movie. It's more efficient."
In wrapping up the episode, Holmberg reiterates his skepticism towards the upcoming release of declassified JFK files, predicting disappointment and minimal revelations. The hosts maintain a critical stance on societal norms, particularly focusing on the inconsistencies in how relationships and information are treated.
John Holmberg (1:35:50):
"I have a feeling that the JFK thing's going to be sort of a nothing burger. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that is a nothing burger."
Final Remarks:
Anticipation of Public Reaction: Holmberg anticipates that revelations about MLK's assassination will provoke significant public outrage, unlike the JFK files which may not meet expectations.
Call for Critical Thinking: The hosts encourage listeners to question official narratives and remain vigilant about the information being released to the public.
