B
With egg plus hash browns and a small coffee for just $5 for a limited time only. Prices and participation may vary. Prices may be higher in Hawaii, Alaska and California. And for delivery. This is interrupted by Matt Jones on NewsRadio 840 WHAS now here's Matt Jones. All right, it is that time again. It is time for the news with Billy and Drew. And this is interrupted by Matt Jones. We haven't done the news in a little while since before the holidays. So a lot of stuff has probably happened, Drew, and if you, let's say this were the only place that you got any news, you might be like, has the world just stopped?
- [00:51]
A
Yeah. What's going on? Like I see what's in front of me. But is this it? Is there anything else out there?
- [00:55]
B
Well, here's what's interesting. There's been a lot of news, a lot, arguably more news in the last couple of weeks than in any two weeks in a long, long time. So you know CBS News hired a new anchor, Tony decouple.
- [01:09]
A
Oh, good for Todd. I know he got hired.
- [01:12]
B
Oh, you didn't know that?
- [01:12]
A
No, I know his name. How do I know that name? He's on something else this morning that see I'm big.
- [01:19]
B
Sunday morning this morning was his, is his, was his producer. So he's, he's, he's now the, the head of the nightly news. Been very controversial because he says he's tired of speaking about news in elite terms. He's going to give you news the way you like it. Common.
- [01:37]
A
Oh, okay.
- [01:39]
B
None of the people. Yeah, but we've been doing that for a while. If you want people who don't understand the news telling you the news. Billy's been here for a long time.
- [01:46]
A
Who better to give the news.
- [01:47]
B
That's right. So it just like Tony decopal is a new era. Now one of the senior news anchors is Billy Rowland. He's been here longer than decouple giving you the news. So he gives us 10 items, Drew, and I tell you what to think about it. What's, what's in the news, Billy?
- [02:08]
C
All right, Lola, we got to get started with what's happening in Minneapolis right now.
- [02:12]
B
Yeah, a lot of stuff.
- [02:13]
C
Last week an immigrations and Customs enforcement officer shot and killed a Minneapolis mother. 37 year old Renee Good was shot in her car. Federal officials claimed the shooting was an act of self defense. But the city's mayor described it as reckless and unnecessary. There are multiple videos and camera angles of the incident and it sparked protests in several cities across the country and debate over ICE enforcement. And just yesterday, an ICE agent in Minneapolis shot and injured another person, an undocumented Venezuelan national who fled a traffic stop and, and crossed or and crashed into a parked car. He was taken to the local hospital with non life threatening injuries, but officials claim the man resisted arrest and assaulted an officer before the shooting. So a lot going down in Minnesota right now.
- [02:57]
B
I just realized that mayor of Minneapolis does look like Tony Decouple. I've been trying to figure out who he looked like. That's exactly who he looks like. Just coming full circle. It is very rare, Drew, that I get like, I think a lot of times, especially in the Trump era, people freak out about things in the news and I think people are, while understandably frustrated with things, sometimes they overreact. This, what's happened in Minneapolis genuinely works. It was a tragedy. The woman that got killed, you know, a lot of people say, well, you know, was it self defense? Was it not? People see that video, they see what they want to see. Don't you think? Like, if you want to say the guy had the reason to kill her, you can see that. And if you also, if you want to say that she was trying to get away from him, you can see that too. I have my own personal opinion, but do you agree, like the video, people kind of see what they want to see in it, right?
- [03:59]
A
I don't think anything is definitive. Well, that exact. That happened exactly the way I'm thinking. I mean, people kind of just see what they see and that's what they believe.
- [04:06]
B
She shouldn't have, in my opinion, this is mine. She shouldn't have gunned off the car at the same time. I don't think she was trying to hit him and I don't think he needed to shoot her. That's my view. But I also don't know that I would put him on trial for murder. So like, I'm kind of all over the place.
- [04:21]
A
Never been in his shoes or anything close to it.
- [04:24]
B
I am worried about the rest of this though. I'm worried about this whole people just pulling people off the streets, not reading them their rights, pulling Americans, putting them in a car, saying, where's your id? Like, you don't have to show ID in America. People don't realize that. Like, I don't think people understand their rights. You do not have to show ID in America. If you're walking down the street now, if you're driving you may have to show a driver's license because you are engaging in the act of driving traffic reasons. So that. So you have to show a driver's license for that reason. But if you are walking down the street as an American citizen and the police come up to you and say, show me your id, you do not have to do that. Now. I, I would. Cuz why not? But you don't have to. You have a right. This is not a country where you go, show me your papers. Okay, but they are literally, there are videos of them taking people who won't show their ID and just put them in a van. Well, you're not allowed to do that either. You're not allowed to arrest Americans without probable cause. And ICE is not allowed to arrest people, period. ICE is not an arrestment. Arrestment, an arrest organization. They can detain and arrest illegal immigrants, but they do not have a right to arrest American citizens. But they're doing it anyway and no one's stopping it. And it's scary to me. It is scary to me that we're letting this group of people operate with no supervision. I don't care if you think that officer was 100% justified in what he did. Does everybody agree that there still should be an investigation of what happened? Yeah, right. Just so you know, just so you say, let's try to avoid this. They're not even investigating it. I mean, they're not even investigating it at all.
- [06:28]
A
That just leads to barking. Whichever side you're on, whatever you believe.
- [06:32]
B
The people who are in charge are not even investigating it. That's scary to me, this idea that there's a group of people wearing masks. The masks bother me. Does it, you guys?
- [06:47]
A
That's the biggest thing. When I see a police officer, badge number, uniform looks like a police officer, you know that I can identify some of these ICE agents. Just regular clothes with a mask over their head. And that could be intimidating, that running up on you.
- [07:02]
B
Billy. Do you think these guys should be masked?
- [07:04]
C
No. And the lack of training is concerning.
- [07:07]
B
And they are literally training for 47 days because he is the 47th president.
- [07:13]
A
No, I didn't know that.
- [07:15]
B
That's the truth.
- [07:17]
A
Well, that's silly. They should be trained. As long as it takes to get trained.
- [07:20]
B
Exactly. So these, they're giving people with. No. So now some of these officers, I'm sure, I'm sure most of the officers follow the law. I'm sure most of the officers are trained, but they literally have backgrounds. But there are some who clearly do not. And the Point is that, I mean, I've. You all seen the videos of what these people are saying, and they have no, there's no. The problem for me is there's no recourse. If they mess up, there's nothing people can do. I don't care who you are. Everyone makes mistakes. And we used to have a court of law where people could go. They don't even. They just take these people. I just. It scares me. It's the first thing that's happened in my lifetime in a long time where I'm genuinely scared. Like, where is this going to lead? And they're doing it in this one city for some reason. Why Minneapolis? It's just weird to me. I mean, my friend Myron lives up there, Metcalf, and he said there are people. He was like, imagine you walk outside of your house and every block there are roaming people with machine guns and masks walking the streets.
- [08:29]
A
That does not sound like our country.
- [08:31]
B
That does not sound like America.
- [08:33]
A
And to the point about, like, people messing up. That's when you investigate to figure out how big the mess up was. Clearly there was a mess up, whoever it is, how big the mess up is. But no one truly knows until there's an investigation. And if they're not gonna do it, we just.
- [08:47]
B
I'm not saying you prosecute this man. Okay? I think actually to prosecute an officer, you need to have real proof of misdoing, of misdeeds. I'm not saying that. I am saying, though, I cannot believe that, like, the leaders of our country would get up and call her domestic terrorist.
- [09:06]
A
Based on what?
- [09:07]
B
Based on. I mean, okay, she's been.
- [09:09]
A
Please explain to us.
- [09:10]
B
Protesting. I mean, protesting. You're allowed to protest. We part. I mean, this administration pardoned 1500 people who protested on January 6th, some of whom hurt officers. They pardoned all of them. Well, it's just. It's scary to me and I don't know where it leads. And I worry that we're going to get farther and farther along and people are going to start to go to that city. Protesters, which is going to lead to more ice people. And if this were in the summer, this would be awful. I mean, it really would. The fact that it's cold and ignite, like, I think some of that brings it a little bit down. But I'm. This is the first time in a long time I've been genuinely like, I don't know what's going to happen. And it's scary.
- [09:58]
C
Trump is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act.
- [10:03]
B
He said that over the years about things and I've always been like, well, he's not going to do that. This is the first time, I don't know, maybe, maybe. I mean, we haven't had that since what, the Civil War?
- [10:15]
C
And what is that? Military force?
- [10:17]
B
That would mean basically he can do whatever he wants. If you have the Insurrection act, you're calling these people a group of insurrectionists and the sort of rules of law go away. I, who thinks that's a good idea? Like, who out there genuinely, I mean, I know there are some, but who out there genuinely thinks that these, you know, people protesting and blowing horns when they go after illegal immigrants, do you really think these are domestic terrorists that are like, worth bringing the military in against? These women that hang out at the library?
- [10:55]
A
And I think we've already unraveled as a country a little more than we should have. When you start doing that, I mean, can you even, you worry about coming back from that and everything is what you want to want to be.
- [11:05]
B
And I don't see any desire in Trump or the people in the administration to ever turn the temperature down. They only know how to ratchet it up.
- [11:15]
A
And it's only gone up since this incident.
- [11:18]
B
And this is the time where leaders have to bring it down. I didn't love what the mayor and the governor said the day that it happened, when they were like, everybody should just cool down because people are going to get killed and we're going to get to a point that's going to be really difficult. And already we've lost one person. But I'm worried that's not going to be the only one. And you know, so it scares me. I've never been scared about what's happening in America, even after 9, 11. I was like, well, there's, you know, we've got the military protecting us and there are protections on civil liberties and George W. Bush says we're not in a war against Islam and all this stuff. So I was like, you know, we'll get through it. If no one will look at these people and say, stop doing this, no one, then how do they stop?
- [12:09]
A
And there's something to me also with it being Minnesota, it seems like, I know they've had a lot lately, but like, it could happen anywhere. If you can't have Minnesota.
- [12:16]
B
Yeah. I mean, this is not, you know, the crime ridden streets of Minneapolis.
- [12:21]
A
Yeah.
- [12:22]
B
You know, it's not like, it's not like it's Gary, Indiana. So I don't know, man. I, I, I, every Time I see these videos, the video was very disturbing, obviously, the woman getting killed. But some of these other videos are just as disturbing to me, the way they're just stopping people in the street and going do this.
- [12:39]
A
And I understand, because a lot of.
- [12:40]
B
These many people in Minneapolis now are being told their rights, and so they're actively resisting, which is leading to even more conflict. And so I don't know, man. I don't know what would mean. What would you do? All seriousness, you're walking down the street and somebody goes, where's your papers? And let's say you left your wallet at home. Okay. Because, I mean, I go out walking sometimes. Don't have my wallet. And they just put you in a van and take you away.
- [13:08]
A
Can't even imagine that scenario.
- [13:09]
B
That's happening.
- [13:10]
A
Yeah.
- [13:11]
B
Now it's happening not to people that look like the three of us, but it's happening to Hispanic Americans. How do people think that's okay?
- [13:24]
A
Yeah.
- [13:24]
C
I don't know. I mean, immigration is an important issue, but to, like, pull people out of their homes, I mean, they are knocking.
- [13:30]
B
Door to door and going, you got any illegals in here? Like, really?
- [13:38]
C
Yep.
- [13:39]
A
That's. That's not us.
- [13:40]
B
That's not us. Not that far. Like, that's not us. Take all the illegal immigrants, especially the ones who've committed crimes, take them away. I'm okay with that. If you got it. If you came in the country illegally, I think if you've been here a long time, let's try to find a way for them to be citizens. But if you. If it's so important to you to take them out. But like this knocking on people's doors and stuff, like, come on, man, that is not America. It's just not, in my opinion.
- [14:05]
A
And on the. You know, the woman who died, I understand the public interest and people demanding answers, but some things aren't just crystal clear. We're like, here it is. I mean, it needs to be investigated. People don't need to rush to judgment. I mean, a woman lost her life. And just whatever you think about the man who shot her, I mean, he's having to deal with this, too. And people are so quick to just blame one of them when we weren't there. I mean, there needs to be an investigation.
- [14:28]
B
And you can come out and say it's a terrible situation where maybe both people could have acted differently, which should be the. You could say that, and that's okay. But, like, if we get in this world of. I mean, they were calling her a terrorist. Within 30 minutes or even give us.
- [14:44]
A
Give us a little time.
- [14:45]
B
People calling the officer a murderer within 30 minutes. Like, can we just take a deep breath for a second? So I'm done. What's next? Tell me about something else good in the news. Are we taking Greenland yet?
- [14:59]
C
We'll get to Greenland okay, but we got to get to some heavier stuff before that. We gotta go to the humanitarian crisis in the Middle East. The protests in Iran are growing and their economy is in free fall. Iran's security forces have been using live guns and heavy forces on the crowds and thousands have been killed in the past week or so. The government in the process of all this shut off almost all of the Internet and phone services so people could not share videos of what was happening in Iran. Just this week, President Trump claimed that Iran has stopped killing protesters and has vowed strong action if the executions resume.
- [15:36]
B
Well, it's awful what's happening in Iran. You know, they claim that maybe up to 2,000 people have been killed. The Iranian regime is terrible. So I don't, you know, I would say though, who thinks we should go into Iran because there are some reports that suggest we may be getting ready to do that. I'm not one of those people, by the way.
- [16:01]
A
I think we got enough problems on our own soil. Let's work on ourselves before we also.
- [16:06]
B
Like, it is kind of ironic to talk about shooting protesters when we're shooting protesters. That's what I mean. Let's. Now we're not on the scale they are by any means and we're not blacking out the Internet. But like, you know, I don't know if this is the time. And then I thought these folks were against regime change.
- [16:31]
A
And so this could.
- [16:32]
B
Be our second regime change of the new year.
- [16:36]
A
And a lot of I read some of them like just wanting water, like basic necessities over there that they're having to.
- [16:41]
B
Oh, it's awful. I'm not going to take up for anything Iranian. Like they, the Iranian government has been terrible to the Iranian people. They are, they aid and abet terroristic activities. They are a worry in terms of nuclear capabilities. So none of this is to say that that regime should be. They shouldn't. But then we saw this in Iraq. We needed Saddam Hussein gone. But then when we got there, what did we. What. What happened? Chaos. Who thinks that wouldn't just happen again?
- [17:17]
A
Probably would.
- [17:19]
B
Probably would, right?
- [17:21]
A
Just a cycle.
- [17:22]
B
So sometimes we have to realize the limits of what America can do, at least to me. But I hate it. It's terrible. And the fact that we don't even really know what's happening, because the Internet thing, that's also scary. But it also scares me that there are reports this morning that there are three war battleships moving into the region. This is what we did right before we went into Venezuela, too, and that's not fun.
- [17:50]
A
So we were joking about coming on here and Been a while. Has there been news. But, Lily, look at direction and there's a lot of going on.
- [17:59]
B
I mean, you're probably. Is Greenland next?
- [18:01]
C
No, but let's go to Greenland next. Greenland. All right, let's do it. President Trump and his administration continue to push to acquire the largest island in the world, Greenland. Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark in the world, according to the Internet.
- [18:15]
B
I don't think I knew that.
- [18:18]
C
So it's autonomous territory of Denmark and has a population of only 56,000 people, but it sits in between North America and Europe, a strategic location for national security against places like Russia and China. Trump and his administration has been meeting with Danish officials and continue to pressure them, saying just this week, anything less than Greenland becoming a part of the United States would be unacceptable.
- [18:40]
B
Okay, so why. I've heard him say that. Why? Greenland gives us multiple military. Like, we have military bases in Greenland. They're part of NATO, which is a mutual defense organization. Why? Has anyone. Have you heard a legitimate reason why we need to own Greenland?
- [18:59]
A
No. And it kind of feels like someone just came over to our. Like, if we're. Greenland, it's our house. Someone just came over and like. Like your backyard. We're going to take that now.
- [19:08]
B
Yeah. Why do we need it? What is the thing we're arguing. Mitch McConnell, of all people, gave this speech yesterday. What is the thing we want Greenland to do that they're not doing?
- [19:19]
C
Well, I don't think America thinks that Greenland can protect themselves, but we protect them now. We do have military bases on there.
- [19:26]
B
Yes. And so do other countries in our. So do our allies.
- [19:30]
C
And now there's French and Swedish troops going to be so.
- [19:33]
B
But why do we need them?
- [19:35]
C
First of all, I think we're afraid of Russia or really China. We're coming into our.
- [19:40]
B
Does anyone genuinely believe that China is about to invade Greenland? For, by the way, we already have troops there. So if that's going to happen, we're already there to protect them.
- [19:50]
C
They have been trying to build plants there in Greenland.
- [19:53]
B
All right, so then say, hey, NATO ally, don't allow China to build plants. We don't need it. Are we going to make it a State. Are we going to have a 51st state? Are we going to allow them to decide?
- [20:09]
A
Denmark has a say in this, right?
- [20:11]
B
Well, do the people of Greenland get to decide? All indications are the people in Greenland do not want to be part of America.
- [20:16]
C
They voted against.
- [20:17]
B
They voted against becoming part of America. They voted against being independent. They want to be part of Denmark. I don't know why I've been to Denmark. It's of part fine.
- [20:27]
A
It's just everything's low key.
- [20:28]
B
I just leave us alone, like, all right, all right. Denmark. Hey, you got nice hats. But I've yet to hear an articulation of why we need Greenland.
- [20:38]
C
National security purpose.
- [20:39]
B
But we already have all that there. Like, we already are. It is more of it. It is. It's just greed.
- [20:46]
A
And they got like magic minerals up there. Maybe we're going to go get some of those.
- [20:49]
B
I mean, are we allowed to just take people's countries?
- [20:53]
A
We're trying, it seems.
- [20:54]
B
I mean, like, when did that become okay? Like that? We used to look back in history and go, the idea that you could just walk into a country and go, this is mine. We kind of think that's not right anymore.
- [21:04]
A
Hadn't been done in a while.
- [21:05]
B
I mean, I believe we're having a war in Ukraine about the idea that Russia can't do that.
- [21:09]
C
Denmark's a NATO ally, so you can't take them over or you can break.
- [21:12]
B
Well, but he is claiming he's going to do that. At which point NATO breaks up and we will be much less peaceful, you know. All right, so just let me play a parade of horribles. Let's say we take Greenland and Denmark ends NATO. All of our troops in Germany kicked out. All of our troops in England kicked out. All of our troops that are literally on the front lines of Russia kicked out. Why is that helpful?
- [21:39]
A
Well, we'll have that land up by.
- [21:41]
B
The North Pole so we can protect the 50,000 people in Greenland.
- [21:45]
C
Well, we acquired Alaska for similar reasons.
- [21:49]
B
Yes, but that bordered Russia and it was during a time that the Cold War was at its biggest peak. Russia can't beat Ukraine. That's right next to him.
- [22:04]
A
You know, Is it just like if we're playing Risk and it's a board game, that's like the best square to have. Greenland.
- [22:09]
B
He wants to say, like, if you're.
- [22:10]
A
Looking at the world, the Greenland looks like a good spot to play.
- [22:13]
B
Gremlin is not as big as you think it is.
- [22:14]
A
I just mean for like, location.
- [22:16]
C
Right about that.
- [22:17]
B
Greenland is much smaller than you Think it is because we on the. What is the Mercurian principles.
- [22:22]
C
The map.
- [22:23]
B
When you stretch the map out, it makes Africa look small and it makes Greenland look big. But Africa is a lot bigger than Greenland.
- [22:32]
A
I still remember where I was when I found out Greece. Greenland has ice and Iceland is green.
- [22:36]
B
That blew my mind.
- [22:37]
A
It was like, two weeks ago.
- [22:38]
B
On that map, Greenland looks the same size as Africa. Yes, but Africa, I believe, is, like, 10 times bigger than Greenland. But we have been made to think Greenland's huge because our map got stretched out in Africa. Small.
- [22:51]
A
I didn't mean the size. I'm saying if it's Monopoly, we want property. It's in a good spot. Probably do some good shipping around there.
- [22:56]
B
The answer is as simple as your boy Donald just wants things.
- [23:01]
C
My boy Donald? I wouldn't say that.
- [23:02]
B
But no. Like, Donnie wants a new ballroom, and Donnie wants the Kennedy center named after him. Now he wants Greenland and he wants Greenland. Does he know what's the oil in Venezuela? I just want things.
- [23:16]
C
Yeah, could be a sense of that.
- [23:18]
B
Could be.
- [23:20]
C
Yeah.
- [23:21]
B
I saw 90% of Americans do not want to invade Greenland. That was a poll that just came.90.
- [23:28]
A
And 100% of Greenland doesn't want it either. So Miz is a strong majority here.
- [23:33]
B
Except his ego.
- [23:34]
C
Yeah. I don't want to be the aggressor, like, invading other lands. That doesn't.
- [23:38]
B
Okay, well. Okay, good. Glad to hear that. Do you want to buy Greenland?
- [23:42]
C
I mean, if they'd be. If they'd take it. Yeah, if it's for sure.
- [23:45]
B
Okay, so $100,000 a person's. What's being offered will give every person in Greenland $100,000. There's 55,000 of them. Are you for that?
- [23:56]
C
Well, I'd like a little money if they're going to be.
- [23:58]
B
No, we're broke.
- [23:59]
A
We can't go shopping.
- [24:00]
B
Why would she be giving money to Greenland? Like, what do you think people in Appalachia want Greenland PeaceNiks to get $100,000 of their tax money?
- [24:16]
C
I bet you they'd say that. They don't want China messing around.
- [24:21]
B
You say messing around. What are they doing? What is China doing in Greenland? I'm being honest. Do you know?
- [24:26]
C
I mean, vaguely. Like, I've researched the story. Like, they have tried to build plants.
- [24:31]
B
Is that the same as owning it? No, we're thinking about. We're trying to take it. And by the way, China has investments in America, too. A lot of them. They own most of our national debt. So, like, if we're Going to say Greenland can't do deals with China. We do more deals with China than anybody.
- [24:49]
C
Yeah, I mean, maybe it's paranoia from the administration and Trump, but I mean.
- [24:53]
B
Who does more deals with China than America? We literally just agreed to take the thing we have more than anything else, silicon chips, and sell them to China while at the same time telling Venezuela they cancel oil to China. What's the consistency in that?
- [25:11]
A
And now we, we want to take Greenland to keep China from being there.
- [25:14]
B
At all so they can invest more here.
- [25:19]
C
We're going in a circle here.
- [25:20]
B
But yes, that's my point is I, I, I this, to me, the easiest way to figure this out is it's about ego. It's about putting your name on things. You, I want you to mark this down before the end of 2026. This Greenland story, he will suggest, he'll start as a joke. Remember he started talking about getting Greenland as a joke five years, 10 years ago. He'll say he wants to call it Trumpland.
- [25:44]
C
No, no, no.
- [25:45]
B
Anybody want to take that bet?
- [25:46]
A
I'm betting against you.
- [25:47]
B
Anybody want to take the bet that he suggests? I'm not. It's not, I don't not believe it's going to happen, but he will suggest in a speech in the next year that they will take Greenland and name it Trump. Does anybody want that bet?
- [26:01]
A
I do not want that bet. I do not want that bad at all.
- [26:03]
B
Do you want that bet, Mario? Do you want that?
- [26:06]
C
No, I don't, actually.
- [26:08]
B
Exactly.
- [26:08]
A
Because you could see him doing it.
- [26:09]
C
Yeah.
- [26:11]
B
He's going to say he wants to call it Trumpland.
- [26:14]
A
Put some gold gates around the resort there.
- [26:18]
B
You wait and see. It's going to happen.
- [26:21]
C
It's so ridiculous, but it is. It is true.
- [26:24]
B
It's crazy. We have to, like, do this country to, like, make this man happy.
- [26:29]
A
And the people of Green, they're like, just leave us alone.
- [26:31]
B
I used to read stories when I was a kid about, like, kings back in the day who would be like, bring me the funniest man in the world. And then some guy would come up and he'd go, hello, King. And he'd, like, dance. And then they'd go off with his head.
- [26:46]
A
Shoot.
- [26:47]
B
You did not make me laugh.
- [26:49]
A
And then they cut off the head of the gathering.
- [26:51]
B
Bring me the finest pig in the land. They'd bring this pig, and he'd go, this pig is not good enough. Die. I mean, we're not far. Like, we're in our own version of that. Name that building after me. Thank you all right? I'm done.
- [27:17]
C
I love the King impression.
- [27:18]
A
That was a good game.
- [27:19]
C
More king.
- [27:22]
B
That's King Trump one by the end of 2026. Save the tape.
- [27:28]
A
Would, Would you visit Trumplin? How much money would it cost for you to visit Trump?
- [27:31]
B
So let me tell you what, something that happens to me and now in, in New York, when I go to New York, I like to, I like to stay in nice places. I'm, I'm kind of a fufu hotel guy.
- [27:41]
C
Okay.
- [27:42]
B
Five star hotels in New York are very expensive, but there are like three that are cheaper than the rest, one of which is Trump Tower. Trump Tower is the like second or third cheapest five star hotel in New York. And the other couple, I'll stay in quite a bit, but sometimes they're full and the only one left is Trump Tower. And I have a moral dilemma. It'll be literally like 800 to $1,000 cheaper to stay at Trump Tower, but I just can't.
- [28:13]
C
Can't do it.
- [28:13]
B
Can't do it. So, no, I would not visit Trump 1.
- [28:17]
A
What about the water pressure? Water pressure?
- [28:20]
B
Oh, oh, no, they. Yeah, I bet it does have. I mean, his hair. You gotta have, gotta have a lot of water pressure to get that hair to flow like that.
- [28:28]
A
Probably got a spa in there.
- [28:30]
B
Why do you think he brings up water pressure so much?
- [28:32]
A
It's important.
- [28:33]
B
It's important.
- [28:34]
A
It's right about Central Park.
- [28:35]
B
Good view, great view. Columbus Circle, Nice building. So, so, no, I probably would not. Like, I won't, that's my, my protest is I won't go to the opera at the Trump Center. I'm not, I'm not going on the streets in Minnesota. I mean, like, I just don't, I don't think you already said it's cold. I'm not, I mean, I'm, I'm, I understand if I'm, I'm not doing it, but I will not go see Hamilton.
- [29:05]
A
Hey, leave Hamilton out of this.
- [29:07]
C
He's going to bust into song.
- [29:09]
A
All right, Me a letter every day.
- [29:12]
C
All right, let's go. Local here. Kentucky Representative Scott Sharp from Asheville filed House Bill360 this week, which would.
- [29:20]
B
Asheville, North Kentucky.
- [29:23]
C
Asheville, where that is.
- [29:25]
B
Okay, go ahead.
- [29:26]
C
Maybe I'm pronouncing it wrong, but it would prevent adult performances conducted on public property or where children might be present. We're talking about drag shows. House Bill 360 would make it a misdemeanor charge for the first two offenses and then a class D felony for the third and every one afterwards, it has not been assigned to a committee yet it is not been voted.
- [29:46]
B
So it be a misdemeanor. On what prompt? What premises? All public premises.
- [29:52]
C
All public property or where children might be present.
- [29:57]
B
Okay, so what. So public property or where children might be present.
- [30:01]
C
Might be present.
- [30:02]
B
So, but what does that mean? Like. Like, I guess a child could be in a bar, which I could be anywhere.
- [30:09]
A
That's my thing. This is very unclear on what we're talking about.
- [30:12]
B
A child could be anywhere on earth.
- [30:15]
C
That's the wording. Yeah. It's a reasonable. If a child could be at.
- [30:18]
B
Okay, so you could, in theory, have drag shows somewhere if you didn't allow.
- [30:24]
C
Children or if it was private property. Sounds like this is public property. Or where children might be present.
- [30:32]
B
Oh, well, so does that mean, like, just walking down the street?
- [30:38]
C
You mean you can't have a drag show walking down the street?
- [30:40]
B
Like, I mean, could you dress in drag and walk down the street?
- [30:44]
C
I don't know that.
- [30:45]
A
So you're out of.
- [30:46]
B
I don't think that. I think that would be against First Amendment. I think if you. I'm actually not against necessarily saying, like, you can't have children at, like, drag shows where their people are, like, humping each other. And, like, I'm okay with that. Just say, like, have to be 18 or above. But if they're just walking, what is a drag show? Does that mean wearing drag?
- [31:12]
C
I believe adult performances is how they're describing it in the word.
- [31:15]
B
I guess all would depend on what that word means, right? Maybe if there was a definition, it. If you're saying to me, you can't have the acts of, like. What am I saying? Simulated sex. I'm fine with saying, you can't do that because I actually don't think that's appropriate for children straight or gay or trans or anything else. But if you're saying, like, you can't walk down the street in drag, then no. First of all, Donald Trump is dressed in drag.
- [31:49]
C
Donald Trump?
- [31:50]
B
Yes. There are pictures of him in a wig and with must. With like. Like it's used. The Clay County High School football team has powder puff football, and they dress up as cheerleaders. That's drag.
- [32:01]
A
We had a. We had a male dance team in high school that dressed up like.
- [32:04]
B
Did you not have powder puff when you were a kid?
- [32:06]
A
No, we did.
- [32:06]
B
I dressed up as a cheerleader. Guess what that is. That's Dragon.
- [32:12]
A
We had Maroon Magic. Dance team was our real dance team, but then we had Maroon Tragic, which were the guys being silly.
- [32:18]
B
And did anybody say we should ban that?
- [32:21]
A
I don't think so.
- [32:22]
B
So now if they're, like, doing something that's simulating sex, I'm okay banning that. And I'm also okay with, say, even in private places. You can't have children in those things. I'm fine with that. But the. You can't walk down the street. That's absurdity, because people have been doing that forever and no one cared. I bet you there are multiple people that will vote yes on this bill that if they. If you looked back in their past, they've dressed up as women before. I. I would be certain of it. I bet you half of the Kentucky legislature has at some point put on a wig and lipstick and look. Tried to look like a woman. No way. Did you do powder puff?
- [33:04]
C
I did, but I didn't. Or a wig. We just played flag football with the girls were the coach and we were the players.
- [33:10]
B
You didn't dress up as cheerleaders?
- [33:13]
C
No, we weren't in cheerleaders.
- [33:14]
B
We did. I did it.
- [33:16]
C
Okay.
- [33:17]
B
And the people. I can guarantee the people on my team did not think they were in drag.
- [33:21]
C
See, that's. I didn't think that was drag. Just wearing a wig.
- [33:24]
B
Why? What's drag?
- [33:27]
C
I don't know. I just have an image of.
- [33:28]
B
You have an image of what people want. Want you to think it is.
- [33:32]
A
You are doing exactly what I was going to bring up on this. Who enforces this and says it's drag or sexually explicit or they want you, like, what's the line?
- [33:40]
B
They want you, Billy, to think about those people. But I'm saying to you, there are multiple very famous people. There are multiple people listening to this. At some point in your life, as a joke, have dressed up Halloween costume. Halloween costume. Yes. Right. Technically, a woman dressing up as a man would be drag. Okay. Right.
- [34:05]
C
I mean, I'm learning about the liberal definition of drag right now.
- [34:08]
A
Not to get too in the mud, but if it's just like, what they're wearing and doing, like, I just feel like wearing this today back. Like, who are you to even define this?
- [34:15]
B
So for me, if they want to say you can't have sexual or adult performances, if that's the definition, I'm okay with that.
- [34:21]
A
And most people would.
- [34:22]
B
But if it's. We're trying to ban you from kind of almost existing, then I think that's wrong.
- [34:28]
C
I think that's a fair opinion.
- [34:30]
A
Yeah. Like, when it's happened, who goes up and pulls out the yardstick and measures the dress or says, you shouldn't be dancing that way.
- [34:37]
B
I mean, I know multiple men that put on makeup to go on television.
- [34:44]
A
I'm looking at one and I also have a bag of makeup at home.
- [34:47]
B
From when I did it with you, so. All right, what's next?
- [34:50]
C
All right. As of Sunday night, it was announced federal prosecutors launched a criminal investigation into the Federal Reserve Chair, Jerome Powell. The investigation is related to Powell's testimony earlier this year about the multi year renovations of the Federal Reserve buildings. But Powell says it's clear the investigation is ultimately part of President Trump's administration's push to pressure the Feds to lower interest rates. The rate currently sits at a range of 3.5% to 3.75. And Trump has denied involvement in the DOJ's investigation despite his years long feud with Powell.
- [35:26]
B
Yeah, I mean, another bad decision. This one doesn't get me as outrageous. The rest because I don't totally know what the Federal Reserve thought.
- [35:37]
C
You're going to explain it to us.
- [35:40]
B
I'm not. I know they said interest rates, but like if you were like, well, what else do they do?
- [35:45]
A
They spend a lot of time setting interest rates. That's what they do.
- [35:50]
C
But Trump appointed this guy.
- [35:53]
B
I know, but remember his. The easiest way to understand is you're good if you like me, you're not if you don't. That's the easiest way to understand all of his views. Like, he likes Zoron. Why? Because Zoron was nice to him. That's it. That's all it takes. You know, this woman from Venezuela is like coming today, the woman who won the Nobel Peace Prize. And a lot of people think she's going to give the Nobel Peace Prize to him just so he'll agree not to be president of Venezuela.
- [36:22]
C
Oh, really?
- [36:24]
B
Yeah. Just go. If I give you this, here's a cookie. If I give you this, will you stop?
- [36:31]
A
Like a kid with an iPad, will you stop throwing a tantrum?
- [36:35]
B
Here's your. So I mean, the easiest thing is Jerome Powell will know not lower the interest rates, which he wants him to do. And so he's like, okay, let's try to put you in jail. That's the easiest way to look at it, right? I mean, what's a better explanation?
- [36:50]
C
I don't have one.
- [36:51]
B
There isn't one. Now on this one, the Republicans are against Trump because they want their money. Right? And the quickest way to crash the economy is to take away the independence of the Fed. The reason people invest money in the United States is Because they know that the Fed will keep it safe and they know the political whims of America. We have a Republican here, we have a Democrat here, are held strong by an independent Fed. So the reason people put all their money around the world in America is they know if everything else falls apart, the Fed is independent and my money will be okay. You can't say that about other countries. Right. The moment you stop the independence of the Fed, then what if Donald Trump just says, okay, all that money's mine.
- [37:43]
C
Now, and politics dictates and politics dictate.
- [37:47]
B
Decisions, people will start moving their money out of America quickly. The reason we are the world's financial power at its core is in part because of the independence of the Fed. And the Republicans know that. That's why nobody wants him to do that.
- [38:03]
A
I saw Powell, it was even like, I've worked with four, maybe five presidents each side. Like, what we're doing here is strictly based in numbers and taking care of the economy. I don't need someone tapping me on the shoulder with their personal bias that has no backing to it.
- [38:18]
B
I mean, Powell was the Fed chairman under Trump, he was the Fed chairman under Biden, and he was a Fed chairman under Trump. That's what you want.
- [38:27]
A
And I think he worked with the Fed. He wasn't the head, but he even backed Obama. Others, he was.
- [38:32]
B
And I think in six months, Trump gets to appoint the new one.
- [38:36]
C
So he picks a new one regardless of what happens.
- [38:38]
B
Yeah. I think what happens is each president picks people on the Fed, and then every few years, the chairmanship comes open and whoever's president gets to appoint them. And I believe I could be wrong about this. I think Trump appointed him, and then I think Biden reconfirmed it. Kept him, Kept him. And now he's term limited, he has to leave. But a good Fed chair, both presidents will agree to. And that's what has happened with this guy. Except just now. He won't do what Trump wants, and now he's being investigated.
- [39:09]
C
Investigated.
- [39:10]
A
Have you seen the clip? It's a little bit old, to be honest. I can't remember what they're talking about. But Trump is giving numbers and he's just sitting there nodding his head, like, standing next to him at the podium, like, that's not the number. He's making this up on the spot.
- [39:20]
B
Yeah. So I, I will say that this is the. Of all the things you've talked about, the one I'm worried about happening the least is Jerome Powell getting indicted. Because there's a lot of Rich Republicans, they're gonna be like, donald, I will let you take Greenland. I will let you become president. Do not screw up my money.
- [39:45]
A
That's why I'm here.
- [39:47]
B
So I don't think that one will happen. What's next?
- [39:50]
C
Whole milk is now allowed in school lunches after President Trump signed a bill on Wednesday reversing previous limits. Passed unanimous unanimously by Congress last year, the legislation rolls back Department of Agriculture rules approved by the Obama administration that required milk served in schools to be fat free or low fat to combat child obesity. Last week, the Department of Health and Human Services also released new U.S. dietary guidelines promoting whole fat dairy products and urging Americans to prioritize protein and healthy fats and limit their consumption of ultra processed foods and added sugar.
- [40:28]
B
I don't have a strong milk view, except that I hate milk, so. But I don't know. I mean, I remember when I was a kid, you only drank whole milk then. You weren't supposed to drink whole milk. Now we're back to drinking a whole milk. But I will keep my firm stand of drinking no milk, and I'll stick with it.
- [40:51]
A
I have an occasional milk, usually at a coffee shop when I'm getting a coffee, and every time they're like, what kind of milk do you want? I'm like, I don't know. Just put milk in it whole. Okay, sure, 2% of the sugar.
- [40:59]
B
But you don't drink a glass of milk occasionally.
- [41:02]
A
I have a gallon at home, but it rarely.
- [41:04]
B
Will you drink whole?
- [41:06]
A
No, I wouldn't think so, actually. I don't know. We buy some weird one that's, like, local. Maybe it is whole.
- [41:11]
B
I feel like drinking whole milk is, like, doing something unsanitary. Just think about what whole milk is. Can we just take a minute from.
- [41:24]
C
The udder of a cow?
- [41:27]
B
You want that?
- [41:30]
C
I mean, in a vacuum, it's. I mean, it's kind of a tough image.
- [41:37]
B
Well, that's the image I get in my head.
- [41:39]
C
I drink whole milk every day.
- [41:41]
B
No way.
- [41:42]
C
Yeah, but it's with, like, with protein powder. So, like, I make a protein with the turmeric.
- [41:47]
B
By the way, when did you become like Jack lalanne out here drinking turmeric and, like, when did you start this? Is this the woman?
- [41:54]
C
Like the last year or two years?
- [41:56]
B
Is it working? Like, do you feel better?
- [41:58]
C
I've been gaining weight. Yeah. Working out.
- [42:01]
B
But I thought you. You were wanting to gain weight.
- [42:02]
C
Yeah, I do.
- [42:03]
A
Yeah.
- [42:03]
B
For what?
- [42:04]
C
Just to beef up so I can do it next to Shannon the dude and not look.
- [42:08]
B
So you're trying to be like. You're trying to be buff.
- [42:10]
C
Yeah.
- [42:11]
B
Is it saying you're looking?
- [42:12]
C
We're getting. Oh, please.
- [42:13]
B
Thank you.
- [42:14]
C
We're getting there.
- [42:15]
B
Okay.
- [42:15]
A
I looked up the milk I just bought from my receipt is 2%. That shows you how much I know about milk. I'm like, I don't know milk.
- [42:21]
B
Just give me one. I don't care. When people say whole milk, what percent is that? It's not a hundred.
- [42:26]
A
I don't know. I don't know the red one.
- [42:28]
B
So what's the difference for someone who.
- [42:29]
A
Has some milk semi regularly?
- [42:31]
B
I do not know anything about it. How much percent is whole? No, but 2 is 2 whole can't be 2 or they wouldn't call it 2. Whole's gotta be at least 3.3.25. Okay, so you have 3.2% is reduced.
- [42:47]
A
1% is low, and skim is nonfat.
- [42:52]
B
So really we're arguing about 1.25% of milk.
- [42:55]
A
I think I. Even though I didn't know what I was talking about, I now feel better about my stance that. Just give me the milk. It's milk.
- [43:01]
B
Okay.
- [43:01]
A
There's not a huge difference.
- [43:02]
B
I'm not anti these changes. I just am anti milk.
- [43:07]
A
Well, back to the thing about it being at school. I've seen school lunches. Let's not act like we're looking out for the kids with what we're putting on the plate. We all went to school. I don't think the operation has changed since we were in school. So if they're acting like they're trying to help obese in the kids. Maybe we work on the square pizza and the corn and everything else too.
- [43:23]
B
Three days a week at Middlesborough schools, we had something they called corn nuggets.
- [43:27]
A
Oh, I hated corn nuggets. We had them to the worst.
- [43:31]
B
Can't imagine. Sorry, I'm eating.
- [43:34]
A
Having a corn nugget over there.
- [43:36]
B
Can't imagine that's good on the health food scale.
- [43:39]
A
You know what's funny about that? They could have just served corn. It would have been easier. But they're like, no, we're going to bread this. We're going to fry it. We're looking out for our kids.
- [43:50]
B
That's right.
- [43:50]
A
They could possibly just have corn.
- [43:52]
B
Do they sell corn nuggets in any other form except school lunch?
- [43:56]
A
I'm glad you said that. I brought this up recently. I think it was on one of our YouTube streams or whatever. And I brought up corn nuggets. And everyone I was with thought I made it up. So I'm glad someone else out there was forced to eat corn nuggets.
- [44:06]
B
Yeah, I don't think I know anyone else. I don't think I've ever seen them outside of the core of the school cafeteria in the wild. Have you. Did you have them?
- [44:15]
C
No, I was too young for that.
- [44:16]
B
Did you have them? So really it was me and Drew. Our school districts were keeping the corn nuggets in business.
- [44:22]
A
One of those things you look back on. What are we doing?
- [44:24]
B
Finally miss them. What's next?
- [44:26]
C
New candidate for Florida governor, James Fishback has an interesting idea to raise money. Fishback has proposed an only Fans syntax of 50% for only fan creators in Florida. He says the money will be used to fund the educational system.
- [44:42]
B
So he wants every person who gets nude anoli fans to give 50% of the money. The government? Is that what we're talking about? Yes. I mean, why does he. Does he think that's going to keep people from wanting people nude?
- [45:00]
A
So let's say only fans.
- [45:02]
B
Say you were charging $10 a month for your nipples. Okay.
- [45:08]
A
All right, Just call it five a nipple.
- [45:11]
B
Five a nipple. If the government starts saying, all right, instead of 30%, 30, we're going to take 50. What are you going to do to the subscription? It's going to raise? Yeah, it's going to be $15. Now, do you think the men that are the kind of men that are paying per nipple are going to not spend the $15?
- [45:31]
C
No, they're going to spend it.
- [45:34]
B
Do you think this is going to stop any form of. Of pornography?
- [45:39]
C
No, but it could open up a new income stream for.
- [45:42]
B
So do you want the government to decide which professions they believe deserve to be taxed at which rates? Like, you know what? We think radio show hosts stink. They pay 45% taxes.
- [45:55]
C
Well, that's a sound.
- [45:56]
B
However, we. Exactly.
- [45:58]
C
But this is an industry that's theoretically negative to a lot of young men.
- [46:02]
B
Why didn't they do this? Why don't they do this about porn?
- [46:05]
A
Yeah, here's my thing. They're picking one specific website. Why wouldn't they just go, all right, I will just post these on a different website?
- [46:13]
B
But why not do it about other things that are negative? How about 50% of all video game sales? People who make video games or people who make guns or people who make tobacco or people who make alcohol? Why are you picking mostly young women doing something on their own? And they're the ones, like, what about all these other industries? Gambling? Pick it. Pick the thing you think's bad. Why don't you tax those people? Why are you wanting to tax these people?
- [46:42]
A
And people think of Only Fans. Is that extreme? There are plenty of people on Only Fans that aren't doing that. Like, are they getting taxed? Or does someone watch videos and be like, oh, that was too far. That One's in the 50%, I guarantee you.
- [46:53]
B
I'm not gonna guarantee. I can't say it's for sure. My get, my guess is that dude that's. He's got some bad stuff on his vcr.
- [47:01]
A
He's mad the content moved away from video stores and he has to pay for creator. I used to put a quarter in the machine down at the truck stop, and now they want me to get an app.
- [47:15]
B
I wouldn't want to see that guy.
- [47:16]
C
You think he's got skeletons in his house?
- [47:17]
B
Well, I don't know. Maybe he doesn't. But I'm pretty suspect about all that. What's next?
- [47:24]
C
The iconic home made famous by Will Smith and the Fresh Prince of Bel Air is now hitting the market.
- [47:29]
B
Oh, really?
- [47:30]
C
The legendary property is set to hit the market at the end of the month for just under 30 million.
- [47:35]
B
Wow.
- [47:35]
C
On sale for the first time in 48 years. But the house is actually not in Bel Air. It's actually located in Brentwood or Brentwood, La.
- [47:42]
B
That's where O.J. lived.
- [47:44]
C
For some comparison, the Home Alone house was just sold for five and a half million dollars recently.
- [47:50]
B
Well, I remember thinking Will Smith's house was great. $30 million feels about right. Would you pay more for a house that was in a TV show?
- [47:59]
A
No, not at all, actually.
- [48:01]
B
No. But let's just say, let's take your house right now. Would you have paid $25,000 more for it to have been in Seinfeld or pick the show?
- [48:09]
A
Absolutely not.
- [48:09]
B
Wouldn't have paid.
- [48:10]
A
Probably wouldn't have paid $2 more. Unless if it was something I love, love, love, love.
- [48:15]
B
What's your favorite show?
- [48:18]
A
I'll say the Sopranos for this exercise.
- [48:20]
B
So let's say it's Tony Soprano's house and you where he goes and gets.
- [48:24]
A
The paperwork this morning.
- [48:26]
B
Exactly.
- [48:27]
A
See, now you're tugging on with the ducks. I can wear my robe into the pool with the ducks.
- [48:32]
B
You get the ducks, all that stuff. Are you willing to pay some premium to have Tony's house?
- [48:37]
A
This was a bad example because. Yes, leave that one out. Even though I'm the one that brought up. The thing I'm thinking of, though, is I've walked by New York where, like, The Sarah Jessica Parker Sex in the City.
- [48:48]
B
But you don't like Sex in the City.
- [48:49]
A
No, but I'm saying just the interest that people have in it. I wouldn't want that.
- [48:53]
B
If we're driving down the street in Teterboro or whatever it is, New Jersey, and I told you, hey, Drew, two miles over there's the Sopranos house. Go see it.
- [49:04]
A
No, that's my problem. I don't want people coming to look at my house.
- [49:07]
B
Oh, I see what you're saying.
- [49:08]
A
I've seen a line at the Sex in the City apartment, and the people would be annoyed. Yeah, people have signs in the windows. They're like, please get off our property. So I wouldn't want the attention it gets.
- [49:17]
B
That's interesting.
- [49:18]
C
Okay, but you can Airbnb it and make a ton of money.
- [49:21]
B
That's a great point. That's a great point. Because remember, we stayed in the house. Remember in St. Louis, we stayed in the house from that show on pbs?
- [49:32]
A
Oh, yeah, yeah. What was that?
- [49:34]
B
And people loved it. What was it? The one with the PBS where it's like old British people.
- [49:38]
C
Pee Wee Herman.
- [49:40]
A
No, that was a. That was a tent.
- [49:42]
B
Pee Wee Herman.
- [49:43]
C
Remember his playhouse?
- [49:45]
B
What about that?
- [49:46]
A
Is British. We're in St. Louis.
- [49:49]
C
Said St. Louis.
- [49:50]
B
That's what I thought.
- [49:50]
A
Was he St. Louis?
- [49:51]
C
I have no idea.
- [49:52]
B
Downton Abbey. There we go. Remember we stayed in that Downton Abbey apartment?
- [49:56]
A
We did.
- [49:56]
B
I don't know if that was actually on the show. Probably wasn't St. Louis with it. Yeah, it's interesting point. It would be annoying, but Billy's right. You could. If you said you could rent out the Sopranos house for a bachelor party weekend.
- [50:09]
A
Oh, if I can buy. Make it a business. Yeah, absolutely. If I can have the Home Alone house and have people rent it in December. But if I have to live there and I'm looking out my window and there's people on the sidewalk taking pictures, that would get old real quick.
- [50:19]
B
It is interesting. Which ones would be the iconic ones. So again, second time she's been mentioned on the show. My ex girlfriend lived in. In the Seinfeld. Elaine's apartment.
- [50:32]
C
Oh, okay.
- [50:32]
B
When they would show Elaine's apartment building, she used to live in that building. And so every day a Seinfeld tour would come by and people would get out and take pictures in front of Elaine's apartment building. Even though I watched the show, there were no apartments in her building that looked like Elaine's apartment. The exterior view was, you know, so I've seen this before.
- [50:58]
A
I thought of another one that's chaos that I've seen is in Albuquerque. The Breaking Bad house.
- [51:02]
B
Well, that was for sale recently, I.
- [51:04]
A
Think, which is not even a big property or anything, but it's just non. Stop.
- [51:07]
B
People want nothing in Albuquerque. So I could see why you would want to do that. Like you're in Albuquerque. Let's go look at the Breaking Bad house. I could see that's a plain house.
- [51:14]
A
Yeah. Just all day, tour buses coming by. I wouldn't want that at all.
- [51:18]
C
We go see the full house. House in San Francisco.
- [51:20]
A
I've been there. We're going to go. It's actually not far from where we're staying. I've done this more than I realized. I've named. Well, I've also been to Duncan. Maybe I should do the celebrity tour bus.
- [51:34]
B
Drew actually on the side runs the Tell me no Lies show bus where he goes to all the locations. What's next?
- [51:42]
C
North Carolina high school High Point Central has suspended their own varsity football team because the Bisons went 0. 10 in 2025 and were outscored 523 to 0 their first three games. They lost 59, 0, 50 to 0 and 37 to 0 just to then lose 51 to 0 and then 55 to 0 before losing 69 to 0, 46 to 0 pattern 42 to 0, 42 to 0 and then 72 to 0.
- [52:10]
B
So they suspended him for being bad.
- [52:11]
C
For being bad.
- [52:13]
B
So no more football.
- [52:14]
C
No more football.
- [52:17]
B
Is that a good life lesson?
- [52:18]
A
No. You tell them to quit.
- [52:20]
B
You're basically saying it ain't stopped.
- [52:24]
A
You're not good.
- [52:24]
B
Although some people need to be told to stop.
- [52:26]
A
I get it.
- [52:27]
B
I've said this a lot. Like, I don't like when people tell kids you can be whatever they want to be because you can't.
- [52:33]
A
Well, but like.
- [52:34]
B
Well, I need to know.
- [52:35]
A
I need to know more about the coach here.
- [52:37]
B
You can't.
- [52:39]
A
I need to know about the coach. How long has he been there? Does he keep his job if he's still employed? This is. This is a problem.
- [52:45]
C
Is it child abuse to just keep sending them back out there?
- [52:48]
A
They're signing up for it.
- [52:49]
B
I feel like though, they should be able to score once.
- [52:52]
A
Some saying it's on the coach.
- [52:53]
B
I mean, I. Well, no, something's happening to where they don't scare score ever against anyone.
- [52:59]
C
They suck.
- [53:00]
B
First of all, maybe bad schedule making.
- [53:03]
A
Maybe the school.
- [53:04]
B
There has to be someone you can schedule that you could score. Like there's a couple like Fulton county and Fulton City, Kentucky. I don't mean to pick on these people. They have the banana festival. They're right on the edge of the state. But if you've ever been there, they're the two worst high school teams in the state. They both finish like, oh and 10 every year they play each other.
- [53:26]
C
Somebody's got to win that one because.
- [53:27]
B
They know, first of all, one team's going to get to win. And secondly, everyone's going to get the joy of scoring points. Fulton county and Fulton City understand that the county of Fulton does not produce good athletes, but they're going to play each other to give each other that moment. I blame the schedule makers.
- [53:46]
C
There's got to be a small school out there that can barely field a roster that they can play well.
- [53:50]
B
I went to that game where the two worst teams in Kentucky played. On paper, when Jackson county played Shawnee during COVID It was a beautiful thing. The football was not beautiful, but it was an all white team, all black team. Both of them good. Neither of them could schedule games because teams didn't want to play them because they were so bad. So they played each other when they.
- [54:12]
C
Traveled across the state.
- [54:13]
B
Travel across the state. All white community went to all black community. Then the next year, the all black community went to the all white community. Actually thought that was great.
- [54:20]
A
Took pictures of midfield after every game.
- [54:21]
B
Midfield. The speech at midfield ended up on Scott Van Pelt that night. The speech I filmed.
- [54:29]
A
See, that's how you handle these situations. You teach a life lesson. You don't tell the kids, scram, Go find something else.
- [54:33]
B
So I think they could have done better with this. In High Point, the school should ask.
- [54:38]
A
Themselves, what are we doing to help these kids get better?
- [54:42]
B
Not much.
- [54:44]
A
So closing the doors.
- [54:45]
B
Yes. Sorry. What's last?
- [54:46]
C
Finally, indeed has released its annual best jobs list for 2026. These rankings are based on job demand, pay growth, and long term stability. Let me give you some of these jobs. Number one coming in is Cardiac Medical tech, who on Average makes over 130,000 a year. Number two, owner and operator, truck driver. Number three.
- [55:08]
B
Really?
- [55:08]
C
Nurse.
- [55:09]
B
Wait, I'll stop at that.
- [55:10]
C
Yeah.
- [55:11]
B
They say owner, operator, truck driver is going to be a good job for.
- [55:14]
C
The future based on job demand.
- [55:16]
B
But don't we think that, like, AI is taking all those jobs?
- [55:18]
A
Yeah, I've already seen these trucks that don't have people in them.
- [55:21]
C
But if you're an owner of. Oh, owner's a big part of this operation then.
- [55:26]
B
But I mean, eventually, though, won't people stop paying you to Drive their trucks.
- [55:30]
C
Well, yeah, I think the drivers might go away, but like there's still somebody that has to operate the company and the freight.
- [55:35]
B
Presumably if that happens, the car companies will buy the. Will operate all the trucks.
- [55:40]
C
Well, we're not there yet.
- [55:42]
B
Okay. No, I'm glad to hear this. We need truck drivers. So I'm glad to hear this. I'm surprised, but what was number three?
- [55:47]
C
Number three is nurse practitioner.
- [55:49]
B
Yeah, I'm surprised. That's not number one. It's impossible to find nurses.
- [55:52]
C
Number four is a speech language pathologist.
- [55:55]
B
What does that mean?
- [55:57]
C
I think that's helping people to speak.
- [56:00]
B
How?
- [56:02]
C
Exercises.
- [56:04]
B
There's that much of a need for that?
- [56:06]
C
I think there is a need for like personal growth.
- [56:09]
B
Like, you know, I didn't know that.
- [56:12]
A
Especially the kids.
- [56:13]
C
Licensed professional counselor. So same vein, that's number five, licensed clinical social worker. Number six, physical therapist. Number seven, occupational therapist. Number eight, radiation therapist. Number nine and data scientist. Are your top 10 jobs.
- [56:27]
B
I believe eight of those 10 jobs are because we need people to fix something that is like wrong with us.
- [56:36]
C
Many of these jobs require specialized training or hands on work with people.
- [56:39]
B
I think a lot of these jobs have one thing in common. They're jobs where the stress and the difficulty doesn't match the respect and the pay that it deserves. Right. So being a nurse, for instance, is a hard job. You have to deal with a lot of people's bs, but we don't pay them a lot. So like it's hard to get people to do it. Right. Truck driver, you know, you're gone from your family long time, a lot of lonely times on the road.
- [57:09]
C
Right.
- [57:09]
B
We need them. A lot of people don't think of it as a glamorous job. We don't consider truck drivers. We don't give them a high place in society.
- [57:16]
A
You see them sleeping in a parking lot.
- [57:17]
B
Yeah. So I think probably a lot of this is because we respect. We don't give these people that have these professions the respect and in some cases the money. They just. I'm shocked that teachers not there. I'm surprised we don't need a lot more teachers.
- [57:30]
C
Right.
- [57:31]
A
So I don't know why I would ask you, but I've wondered if I could be a truck driver. I feel like I, I would enjoy a little bit.
- [57:36]
B
I was a truck driver one summer.
- [57:38]
A
I know you deliver, but I'm talking like, where you going?
- [57:40]
B
I did long haul.
- [57:40]
A
Long haul.
- [57:41]
B
Okay. I'd stay overnight.
- [57:42]
A
Oh, did you sleep out in the.
- [57:43]
B
I did not sleep in the bed. I'd usually get a motel. I liked being on the open. This was before phones, so, like, I wasn't sitting there scrolling. But I would turn on the radio. I would listen to local radio. All I had was the open road in my thoughts.
- [57:59]
A
That's why I kind of thought when I see a truck driver, you know, I love my job. I'm not gonna quit this and apply for one. But I thought I could probably find some peace and just driving around, listen to my music and just getting from A to B.
- [58:09]
B
You meet the ladies.
- [58:11]
A
I'd have a bad time. I've had a hard time backing it up though. Into the. Into the bay. I'd mess something.
- [58:15]
B
There's a whole trucker scene. You ever been to like a truck stop? Like a real one where people shower?
- [58:20]
C
Yeah, the showers and the lot lizards.
- [58:23]
B
Seen a lot of lizards.
- [58:25]
C
I mean, I don't have a lot of experience. I think that is, you know, part of the.
- [58:28]
B
I don't know how many people you.
- [58:29]
A
Meet along the way.
- [58:30]
B
Yeah, I don't know how many. I don't know what that. That would be a good doc. I'd like to watch a documentary on the lls. I'd like to. I just. Personally, I'm not proud of it, but I think a documentary called Lot Lizards I would click yes on.
- [58:46]
A
I would actually just watch a trucker documentary. Now I'm thinking about it.
- [58:49]
B
Yeah.
- [58:49]
A
There's random nights in random towns. Onto the next.
- [58:52]
C
You might get a 50% tax on that movie.
- [58:56]
B
Well, on that note, Billy, thank you for the news. You did a good job. Good mix of serious, not so serious. I learned a lot.
- [59:05]
A
The biggest news I got was Billy's whole milk, protein and turmeric shots.
- [59:10]
C
Like 20, 26, man.
- [59:13]
A
Are you still ice bathing?
- [59:14]
C
No, can't do it. Not disciplined enough.
- [59:16]
A
Yeah, that sucks.
- [59:17]
B
So you, you bought it? What are you doing with it?
- [59:19]
C
It's just in my garage.
- [59:20]
A
It's got beers in it.
- [59:23]
C
It's hard to keep cold in the summer.
- [59:24]
B
Like where you keep all your turmeric.
- [59:26]
C
Ice all the time.
- [59:28]
A
So Billy quit ice.
- [59:34]
B
Billy hates eyes. From what I've seen full circle on this show, I think it feels like Billy doesn't respect eyes. Yeah.
- [59:39]
A
Said he tried it.
- [59:41]
B
He's not using it. It's kind of like he's protesting. Yeah.
- [59:46]
C
And we've come full circle.
- [59:48]
B
Bye. Bye.
