Hold it now. You are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on the world wide web. This is the Rob Carson show and by the grace of God, it is finally Friday. Last hour of the show today. Christian Toto is going to be joining us at the bottom of the hour. I got a bunch of stories to share with him and I'm sure he has much to to share with me. I saw the Amazing. What the hell? Now I'm drawing a blank of the name. The Timothy Chalamet movie where he plays the ping pong player. The Amazing. Hold on, I'm gonna look it up here. He did come a complete unknown. You know, I liked it. I liked it. I'm just not a big, not a big fan of Bob Dylan. He's, you know, he's been a little bit before me and The Amazing Marty. The Amazing Marty is a Marty Supreme. Marty supreme is name of the movie with him. And they shall me. Wow. I'm thinking, okay, ping pong player becomes a world champion, you know, suffers all sorts of, you know, people telling him he couldn't win and then he wins the championship. Oh, no, no, no. Oh my God. It is. It is. He's not a. He's, he's the hero of the movie, but he's also a complete a hole. It is he is it. It's a hell of a movie. And I got a Timothy Tim o', Leary, Kevin o' Leary from Shark Tank. He, he has a supporting role and I. He should be up for best supporting or. I mean, honestly, he should be in the running. He was that good. And then the guy who owns WABC radio, Casimiris, he was in the movie. He had a bit part in. He was great. He was great. I mean, phenomenal. It was a wild movie. Wild movie. And I'm going to tell you, I just enjoyed seeing a movie with my son. We went to see the Chiefs game and it was 67 degrees when we left the game. It was 59 when we got there. Was wearing a T shirt. It was something else. And my son, I used to take him to movie premieres because I was a radio host in Washington D.C. and we do these movie premieres and I'd introduce the movies and I'd give out T shirts and I mean, thousands of people saw me years, over the years introducing every Movie in Washington D.C. my son fell in love with movies and, and I still love to see a movie in the theater. I do. And I'm going to get the monthly pass. I guess AMC does a monthly pass. And I went within walking distance of an AMC theater. And I really, I really enjoy seeing movies in the theater. There's nothing wrong with. There's no experience like it. It is. You can. It's not. It does not become obsolete. The experience is still there. It's. Whether you choose to love it or not. And as much as sitting in front of a big screen television at home is nice. It's not the same. It's not the same. I enjoyed seeing the Chiefs live. I normally watch football on television. I say your best seat in the house is watching it on television. But I enjoyed seeing that game too. It was. It was just wonderful. And that movie is something else, man. I'm gonna tell you something. It is something else. By the way. I am. I'm having a dinner party. Yeah. For the, for the first time. I moved to Washington D.C. six months ago. And it's interesting because I live by myself and every night I go home by myself and, and I enjoy the time at home. It's weird, it's strange. I didn't think I would. I thought it'd be lonely. I would like to have a dog. And I do miss my kids and my dogs. But I am enjoying the solace and I enjoy having my home. And this morning I did. You know, I'll just be honest. I swear Swiffer wet jetted the kitchen in my underwear. You know, why the hell not? Why the hell not? There's nobody in here. I can do whatever. I can walk out with nothing on into the living room. I don't enjoy being naked, just walking around. But you know, there you go. That's one of the things. It's kind of. It's kind of cool. And listen, a lot of times guys are miserable when they get divorced. I let go of the anger and the resentment. There's still little twinges of it, Little twinges of it. But. But I have. And, and, and it was interesting because this weekend I decided I was gonna have friends over to my apartment. On Saturday and I, and I talking to Mike Carter. He's a guy on Newsmax and he's a hell of a reporter. And I've been, you know, commenting Mike and corresponding with Mike for a couple years, and I've been seeing a couple football games with him at this little, little sports bar. And I have a Diet Coke and, you know, whatever, and I got to know him and, and, and, and Logan Radick, Spotify News Backs and a couple of other people that I met. And all of a sudden I realized I have a bunch of friends here. I have a bunch of friends here. And tomorrow I'm going to have them over to my, my, my home and I'm going to share the bounty of what I know about cooking and, and I'm enjoy their fellowship and we're gonna have a hell of a time where we're gonna watch play a football tomorrow night. It really is something else. I'm, I'm, I put a message up on social media. You might check it. Rob Carson show today because I've been sober for about five years now. And, and you know, when I look at like Scott Adams is breathing his last breaths, he's living his last moments on earth and he yesterday said that his webcast was probably going to be his last yesterday. He's failing. His health is failing. And I, and I think you've got to realize, imagine what Scott Adams would give to be healthy and have friends over for dinner tomorrow night. You have three pillars in your life, the mental, physical and spiritual. If one of them begins to crumble, it's bad. If all three tumble, you're done. Mine had tumbled all of them, and I didn't die. So I'm very blessed. And whatever, I mean, whatever you want to take from that, it's kind of anyway, kind of a big deal. Shot at Live Oak. Wants to, wants to talk about news and stuff as I was waxing philosophical. Sean. Welcome, brother. What's up? Yeah.
- [07:22]
Christian Toto
Greetings from West Libertarian.
- [07:23]
Rob Carson
Yes, yes, yes. What's up?
- [07:26]
Christian Toto
Well, the other thing about this incident in Minneapolis.
- [07:31]
Rob Carson
Yeah.
- [07:32]
Christian Toto
Is I was looking at several comments that the wife of this individual that decided to try to run over vice officer and got shot for her troubles.
- [07:45]
Rob Carson
Yes.
- [07:46]
Christian Toto
Is that her wife said this is my fault. I put her up to her. And I'm just wondering where are her manslaughter charges?
- [07:58]
Rob Carson
I'm not sure that's possible, but I will tell you, I, Carl Higbee just posted a video by one of the officers on the scene that definitively shows she pointed the car at the officer and tried to run him over. It's over. The debate is over. Check out. Have you seen it yet, Sean? Have you seen the latest video?
- [08:16]
Christian Toto
Yeah, I've seen several.
- [08:17]
Rob Carson
No, no. You haven't seen the handheld by the police officer in front of the car?
- [08:23]
Christian Toto
No, I haven't seen that.
- [08:25]
Rob Carson
Look at my social media Rob Carson show. Every, every one of them. Facebook, Twitter, X LinkedIn, all of them. I put it up and it's over. Carl Higby announced it's over. There's no debate. Her wife was harassing the officer and being a complete, you know, whatever and then she was being a complete whatever behind the wheel. He walked around the car, came around the front and boom. Watch the video on my social media obcarson show. Sean. This is going to disappear. It is another fart in a Cat 5 hurricane and guess what? The hurricane is going to blow again and it's going to go right into corruption charges against Tim Waltz and a collapse of the fraud industrial complex in America. Sean, I gotta run, bro. Thanks for the call, bro. I appreciate you. Yeah, check it out. You are gonna go. Wow. Okay. You are gonna go. Okay. I get it. There's gotta be help to pay. About. About what happened. Here's Tim Vaults yesterday trying to. I don't know what the hell he's trying to. I want to tell you what. No, this is the dumbest thing he did earlier. He talked about inflammatory spe. And then he said that Kristi Noem was an executioner. Listen to this. They have determined the character of a 37 year old mom that they didn't even know. Don't know. They've determined that the actions are done. Yeah, I don't know. I've not used inflammatory terms of what happened. I've asked us to find the answers. Really. You, you, you have not used inflammatory terms to think in any way this is going to be fair. When Kristi Gnome was judge, jury and basically executioner. Yeah, there you go. That's Tim Waltz. He's so stupid. I mean, honestly, he is. He's just so stupid. He barely has enough, barely has enough intelligence to keep his autonomic breathing system going. I'm gonna go ahead and play this. I think we need a comedic palate cleanser. Sorbet for the brain with Jim Gossett. Rob Carson. Joe. Tim Waltz will not run. Latest scandal means Tim Walls is done. Bye. Bye. Cause he only has. I want to see a burp walk out of the governor's mansion. Come on.
- [10:42]
Christian Toto
All the fraud.
- [10:44]
Rob Carson
Tim ignored now his ox has been gored. Cause he only has lies for you. I get the top bunk, not the bottom bunk in prison there, Timmy. We know that. That Tim belongs in prison. I think he probably likes the bottom buck. I'm not sure. It kind of acts like he needs to get what he is doing. Yeah. And Keith Ellison and El Han. Oh, yeah, baby. That Tim won't run again. Dooby Doo. He needs to go to the pen. That isn't just my view. Oh, God, he's so good. For you. Brilliant. Brilliant. Oh, my God. I'll tell you, the more people find out about this show that the show is growing and growing and growing, it's because of this, we are the only show that does it. Everybody's got opinions. Opinions. You know, opinions are like. Everybody's got one. The last thing talk radio needs is another one. And. And I'll tell you what, J. Jim is such an important part of this. I worked with Shanklin for years at Rush Limbaugh. Jim Gossett is a freaking genius. Just a genius. If you can help him out, go to patreon.com Jim Gossett comedy patreon.com Jim Goss Buffett comedy let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Fasten your seatbelt deep state. It's gonna be a bumpy ride. It's the Rob Carson Show. Yes, it is. The Minneapolis protests are going to fizzle because they're based on a lie. I just posted a new video that Carl Higby had posted on. On. On Twitter and it shows the police officer, one of the police officers standing in front of the vehicle that the, the woman in Minneapolis missing her name already. It's so forgettable. Anyway, the, the, she did turn the car in the direction of the, the officer and did over the officer. And by the way, also her partner was there who got her killed. Renee. Nicole. Good. And it's. This is going to fizzle. They were looking for another George Floyd moment, another trigger for violence and mayhem. It's not going to work. And Americans are. Have a belly fill a bit. Just tired of it. Newsmax. If you watch Newsmax lately, I got to tell you, I, I watch Carl Higbee and Rob Finnerty, Rob Schmidt, Greg Kelly, and I just, I think that they're, their commentaries are unmatched. Carl Higbee has a kind of an earthy kind of every guy's every man kind of brilliant analysis of things. Rob Finnerty is just smart and sharp and concise. And Rob Schmidt is he's got a bedside manner. It's just remarkable to watch. Greg Kelly is. There's nobody on television like Greg Kelly. There's nobody on television like Greg Kelly. And all of them are on Newsmax and they're also the streaming channel Newsmax 2. People are downloading the Newsmax app on their smartphones and televisions.

Thank you, Mr. Ruddy. You're an amazing man. I went from selling cars to dining at Mar? A Lago in a year. Thank you very much. Hey, should we, should we do some good news? I think we should do some good news, you know? Cause there's a lot of good news out there. We love to win, winning, winning. So much winning. It's lots of winning. Lots of winning. Lots of winning. Lots of winning, Lots of winning, lots of winning. It's oh, so good. Hakeem Jeffries, who is a. He has Mr. Deadeyes is what I call him. This is Mr. Deadeyes last year, I think about in February talking about how Donald Trump's tariffs were gonna destroy the economy. Leader Jeffries, while we were on air, you had the president saying this on Truth Social. This an economic revolution and we will win. Hang tough. It won't be easy, but the end result will be historic. It is going to be historic good or historic bad. Well, the end results will definitively be historically bad. These Trump tariffs represent the largest tax increase on the American people since at least 1968. Yeah. And what happened this week with regard to tariffs? This is unreal. The movement in this number, minus 29.4 billion. We cut it basically in half. We cut it in half. The U.S. trade deficit. Just consider this. In March, it was 136 billion. Right now, it's a whisker under 30 billion. Wow. We haven't been that small in a long time. I don't have enough records here to go back that. No, I know, but you're going back a ways. You are going to witness the Greatest economy you've ever seen. Rob, you're not an economist. How do you know? Well, I don't know you, you guys, I'll be nice to the naysayers because he's doing everything that business needs to do to thrive and succeed and return manufacturing to America, leveling the playing field, not letting us get screwed by the other countries in the world, allowing our farmers, our farm farmers are going to finally be. Our farmers have been suffering so damn long and amazing things are going to happen for family farms. Amazing things are going to happen for manufacturing. He's already brought $20 trillion of investment in America. They're going to start building V8s again. Big old Hemis in the United States of America. The price of gas, I filled up for $2.12 in Kansas City this morning. $1.91. And it's lower in other parts of the country. It's in the $60s and $50s in some part of the country. What does that mean? Everything gets cheaper. Everything get drill baby, drill. Cutting taxes, cutting regulation, inviting in investment, leveling the playing field for tariffs around the world. He's doing everything that has to happen. That has never happened before, even during Reagan. They're predicting for December a 5.4% GDP. It's going to dwarf that. I'm promising you this because I'm always right on this and they're always wrong on it. I'm not even an economist. It's going to be such a glorious year for the world and the Democrat party and rhino Republicans can suck it. When they say that he can't do anything else in Venezuela when they say, you know, they approve Obamacare largesse for another three friggin years. Honestly, you are going to fade into the dustbin of history. You rhinos from hell, Rand Paul, all of you nutbags, you're done. The good news is gonna become so overwhelming that it cannot be covered up. It's going to happen. And you know why? I know this? Because I've been right for about five years on this show about everything. And you know why? Because I have common sense, live experience and, and I do a hell of a lot of research. And honestly, it doesn't take a genius in economics to recognize what it takes to make manufacturing come back and make the economy better. Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh. My God. And the left is just again, they're doing a death spiral into hell. Death spiral into hell. On Monday they had signs printed up bring back Maduro. Donald Trump is a war criminal. Last week it was Pete Hegseth as a war criminal. Before that it was Donald Trump. No kings. And then on this day today there are, you know, ice is murder. Ice are murderers. You guys are done cooked, dying like movie vampires trying to drag us kicking its screaming into hell. It's not going to happen. You go to hell. How about that? You go to hell. That's what's going to happen. And if the Democrat party thinks they're going to win, the minsters, they're high. And I'm going to tell you now, do not take it for granted. Get your butt registered to vote. Do whatever you can every day. Spread joy and patriotism on social media every day. Motivate people to vote because we can put a nail in the coffin of the left and these Marxists for good. We can do it this year. Let's take a break and come back. We've got Christian Toto on deck. Don't go anywhere. Hey guys, it's Carson for Relief Factor. You know, I saw an ad for Relief Factor a while back and I saw a guy literally in tears with how he talked about the pain that he was experienced was gone. It happened to me too. I started it taking a few months ago so my hip was really bothering me and I wondered because I'm the age of, you know, replacement of joints and whatnot, if it could be better. And I started taking Relief factor and it healed. It's a 100% drug free research based formula created to help your body's natural inflammatory response. The same one that cause everyday aches and pains from aging, exercise, overexertion and just normal living. It helped me with my hip, my neck, my shoulders, all the places that remind you you're not 25 anymore. Relief Factor supports a healthy response to inflammation, helping you stay active and keep those joints and muscles feeling good. It's made with four key ingredients, omega 3 fatty acids, resveratrol, curcumin and Ikarian. Each one helping from a different angle. You can start with a three week quick start for this $19.95. That's less than a cup of coffee a day. So if you're tired of creaking like an old floorboard every time you move, give Relief Factor a try. Go to relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com and feel the difference. Relief Factor because getting out of bed shouldn't count as a workout. You know what, maybe they're trying. I know what they're doing. They're trying out a new slogan. Donald J. Trump is gonna kill you. It's pretty good, right? Jimmy Kimmel, honestly, bleep you, buddy. Bleep you. Jimmy Kimmel just crossed a big red line. He's not funny. Christian Toto from Hollywood in toto joins us on the Newsmax hotline. That's one of your headlines on Hollywood in Toto, honestly, just not even funny.
- [22:07]
Christian Toto
I mean, that's one thing. And he hasn't been funny for a while. So I'm not too outraged by that or nothing about that comes by surprise. But what he's doing now, you know, I put this in the story. Listen, what he said about Charlie Kirk's killer, the alleged killer, suggesting that it was a MAGA person and not the person we think it is, that was really cruel and that was vicious and it was misinformation on steroids. And it came at a time when we were still in shock at the assassination. Now when the entire country is enveloped in this ICE agent shooting and trying to separate fact or fiction, what he's pushing, what he's promoting, and that whole T shirt saying Donald Trump is going to kill you, he's inciting violence. And I hate saying that. I hate going in that direction. And I don't do it lightly. But at this point, what else can you say? What else can you, how else can you describe what he's doing?
- [23:00]
Rob Carson
What's really remarkable is that he does it in a vacuum. He does it in front of a fluffed audience of sycophants and that is very, very dangerous. And it allows him to be fed by this audience and his comments are fueled by this audience. And it is really a. He has forsaken the guise of being an entertainer at all. It's gone. It's gone. I mean, it's sickening.
- [23:36]
Christian Toto
If we had a decent media landscape, you would have almost every institution basically saying you're lying. Jimmy Kimmel spread a misinformation last night, you know, checking in with his representative to say, hey, do you have any comment about our fact check and what you're doing? Listen, you don't normally fact check a comedian because they're a comedian, but he really, he's barely a comedian. He's not even trying to be funny. And he's, he's pushing himself as a pundit these days.
- [24:05]
Rob Carson
He's not even that. He's not even that. He's not intelligent enough to be.
- [24:09]
Christian Toto
Yeah, no, no, he's ill informed. Listen, if he had one person, one guest on the show who was smart and wise and thoughtful on the Right. They would eviscerate him and challenge his ideas and deconstruct them in real time. But he can't do that.
- [24:24]
Rob Carson
So he goes, I want you to listen to this. This is Conan o'. Brien. Now, Conan is a leftist, but he's a he. I always thought he was the funniest guy on television. Oh, yeah, I still do. He's the funniest guy on television. He's got a program where he goes around the world and he travels and it gets a little kind of repetitive. It's damn funny. Here he is.
- [24:38]
Christian Toto
I think some comics go the route of I'm going to just say F Trump every, all the time, or that's their comedy. And I think, well, now a little bit you're being co opted because you're so angry, you've been lulled. It's like a siren leading you into the rocks. You've been lulled into just saying, fuck F Trump, F Trump, F Trump. Screw this guy, you know? And I think you've now put down your best weapon, which is being funny.
- [25:11]
Rob Carson
Yeah, 100%. I'm a political satirist, I'm a comedian, but I cut my teeth writing for Rush LIMBAUGH Starting in 1989 as a kid. And one thing I realized is if you're going to do political comedy, you have to include the truth. That's without a doubt. And you can't just target someone to target somebody. Go ahead.
- [25:35]
Christian Toto
Yeah, listen. The reason why satire leaves a mark, the reason why it's funny, the reason why we laugh, is because we recognize that kernel of truth within it. If that's missing, then what's the point? It's just propaganda. These are propaganda people right now. They're not comedians, entertainers. And it really, it's hurting the country. I mean, you know, I think things will calm down. I hope they'll come down. After the incident in Minneapolis, you never know. And maybe it takes one person watching him twisting the truth like a pretzel to do something really heinous.
- [26:10]
Rob Carson
Well, this is what they, this is what they want. This is why. Marxist, Marxist, Marxist. Fascist, Fascist, fascist. Shows up on bullet shell casings that kill Charlie Kirk. That's all you need to know.
- [26:21]
Christian Toto
Yeah, you can direct lines all you.
- [26:23]
Rob Carson
Need to know, brother. Hey, let's move on to lighter things. I saw Marty Supreme. I'm thinking, okay, story about a guy who's, you know, gets in the ping pong circuit, trains really hard, ends up winning the championship. Everybody's going to dance around like, gonna fly now. Gonna Fly. Not even close.
- [26:42]
Christian Toto
You're teasing me here. Do you like it or you hate it?
- [26:45]
Rob Carson
It's fantastic. Oh, good.
- [26:47]
Christian Toto
I liked it too.
- [26:49]
Rob Carson
It's fantastic. Timothy Shalom. Kevin o'. Leary. Wow.
- [26:55]
Christian Toto
Both of them. I think Chalamet is going to win best actor this year.
- [26:59]
Rob Carson
Oh yes.
- [27:00]
Christian Toto
He's been great for a while. He was terrific as Bob Dylan a year or two ago. And he's just mesmerizing here. It's just, it's incredible.
- [27:09]
Rob Carson
You know the great thing about it, he's, he's the hero of the movie. Even though he's a complete scumbag. A hole. Uses people, has sex with women, gets a prank. I mean, I'm not gonna get it. He's a scum.
- [27:23]
Christian Toto
But you cheer for him and that's charisma, man. And that's great writing and that's what we're looking at here. So it's amazing.
- [27:31]
Rob Carson
It really is. It really is something else. I got a couple of. I got a bunch of stories I want to get to. I'm gonna tell you. Let's focus on a couple of stories on Hollywood. In total, they're the other side of the break. I have some things I've been. I always, I always save stories for you, Christian. I do, I do. It's kind of a big deal. Primate will drive horror movies bananas. What's this about?
- [27:50]
Christian Toto
Well, it's about a family that happens to have a chimpanzee as a pet.
- [27:54]
Rob Carson
Oh dear.
- [27:56]
Christian Toto
It's got some skill that, you know, it's got sign language, it understands basic commands and that's all impressive and it's adorable, but sadly, one day the chimp is bitten by an animal that has rabies and well, you can only imagine what goes on from there. But the bottom line is that this is a rock em sock em horror movie. It is not Fine Art is a B movie in the classic sense. It never slows down. It's gory at times.
- [28:21]
Rob Carson
So it's like a primate. Old Yeller.
- [28:25]
Christian Toto
That's right. Old Yeller's Revenge.
- [28:28]
Rob Carson
If Old Yeller was a murderous chimpanzee, we're gonna have to put him down, you know. All right. If you like those kind of movies, if you like these kind of movies. Now you have one here. I, I've not, I've not talked to you in a while. You. Nuremberg should crush TDS once and for all. What's this all about?
- [28:49]
Christian Toto
Well, it's about the Nuremberg trials. It's about one of the key figures, you know, within the Nazi regime who's captured, played by Russell Crowe. And it's like, what do we do with these villains? I mean, we want to do the worst of the worst of them because they've done the worst, the worst, so many people and they've slaughtered so many. But you know, we're a civilized society. So it's all about sort of the machinations behind the scenes and trying to get them to confess to what they've done. I've got a great cast, including Rami Malek. I mentioned Crowe, who's just sensational here as one of the villains. And you know, but when you watch the movie and you see everything that went down, listen, we all know what happened in the Nazi regime, but there's a sequence here that shows footage, actual footage from the Holocaust camps. And they're tough to watch, but they're necessary. But also when you watch this whole process, you think, wait a minute, is this what we're comparing to the current president? Is this what we're doing? It makes it just let us know that the argument is facile at best.
- [29:48]
Rob Carson
Of course, of course.
- [29:49]
Christian Toto
It really does put an exclamation point on it.
- [29:51]
Rob Carson

Rob Carson
Is there anything we could do to cheer you up? Now, you can't see the images on this, but there is a streaming series called Pluribus and I binge watch it with the kids. 10 episodes one day over Christmas. I could not stop watching this show. Christian Toto, have you seen it?
- [32:03]
Christian Toto
I'm the last person who hasn't seen it.
- [32:05]
Rob Carson
Oh. Oh brother.
- [32:07]
Christian Toto
And I've heard nothing but exactly what you're describing.
- [32:10]
Rob Carson
So it's part Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Okay, so there's this virus that causes people to join this collective where everyone in the world, it's like everyone in the world's connected thought. Everybody knows everyone's thoughts, everybody is involved in. And then you, you get sucked into it and you become part of that. And there are only like five people in the world who don't have it, including the main character. This is so superb. I gotta tell you, it is so superb. It's a rollercoaster ride. It is thought provoking. It says a lot about collectivism, the warmth of collectivism. It does, Christian. It does, baby. There's a lot. And they even quote Marx in it. And it's anti. It's anti collective, it's anti Marx. But it is subtly against leftism and collectivism. You, I gotta tell you, we gotta watch it. Tell you what, we'll watch episodes. We'll just chat like girls on the phone while we watch it.

Christian Toto
That sounds good. By the way, this is from Vince Gilligan who gave us Breaking Bad, so Better Call Saul. Talk about a 3ft man. This guy just knows what he's doing. Maybe the best creator around right now.
- [33:26]
Rob Carson
I've tried to watch some. I watched Severance. Severance is just. I don't know, after a while you're like, okay, it's a little dark. It's a little, eh, It's a little too much like places I've worked before. But Pluribus is ridiculous. And the main character, she is so bloody good. Rhea Seehorn I guess is her name, I believe. My God, she is perfect in this role. Okay, Pluribus, write it down. Pluribus, do you have time this weekend.
- [34:00]
Christian Toto
Watching Landman, by the way, for that?
- [34:01]
Rob Carson
Landman. Tell me about Landman. What's that? What's that all. Oh, yes. Oh yes. I drove Past that last night. Tell me about that.
- [34:09]
Christian Toto
Yeah, it's Billy Bob Thornton as someone who basically makes the oil and gas industry click. He does what is necessary. Sealing deals, you know, charming partners, working over issues. He's a fixer at times and it's all about his colorful life. He's got an ex wife who is now living with him who is indescribable.
- [34:30]
Rob Carson
Poor man.
- [34:34]
Christian Toto
Some people hate her character because she's over the top, but she's very. Is a lot of fun.
- [34:37]
Rob Carson
I've seen a lot of the clips. I've seen a lot of the clips like about the, about petroleum. When he goes off on how valuable petroleum is and how crappy windmills are. Those are going. Those clips go viral.
- [34:47]
Christian Toto
Absolutely. And it's a show that shows another side of industry, why we need oil and gas and all the. Listen, it's not, it's not a love letter. It's just like this is necessity and this what it takes to kind of keep these industries afloat. It's fascinating. It's so much fun.
- [35:04]
Rob Carson
Good. I'm going to watch Landman. I definitely do. 2025 bloodbath for film streaming television. New works in Hollywood as the media continued its downward spiral from once commanding position to leading American institution. This is about a glut, I believe, of content and betrayal by the. The networks and movies. I think to some degree of about half of the audience. But I, I'm excited about entertainment in general, but jobs across television, film, broadcast news, streaming. 4,500 losses last year. And it's not going to get better with AI, is it?
- [35:42]
Christian Toto
No, there's going to be a lot of change the next five years, maybe the next three years, maybe next two years. But part of it is that a lot of their online content creators are doing some really interesting, innovative stuff stuff too. You know, it's people making comedy videos and things that are, you know, filling the gap that isn't being supplied by the rest of Hollywood. You know, when the Somali daycare crisis happened, oh my God. Late night's going to go near it. They're going to avoid it. So what about everyone else? Go on Twitter, go on Instagram. You'll see people making fun of it where they.
- [36:09]
Rob Carson
I just saw them. They made fun of aoc, had her as a guest on Price is Right. And the prize that she was bidding on was a printer for protest science. Perfect. It's perfect death. We did have a loss this week. I don't know if you heard about this, Christian. I'm. And if I'M breaking it to you. Please try not to lose composure, but Duff, man of the Simpsons is being retired. Oh, no.
- [36:34]
Christian Toto
That is big News.
- [36:35]
Rob Carson
Duff Man. 37 years. Could you believe Simpsons has been around 37 years.
- [36:44]
Christian Toto
It's indescribable. What it used to be. It still had some fun moments. But I go back to the early, early seasons, which were nothing less than magical.
- [36:53]
Rob Carson
I remember watching in syndication in the mid-90s. Since it was in syndications and it ran three times in a row, like on the fox affiliate in Minneapolis. I was streaming the Simpsons in the 90s. And when I go through the seasons, you know, you go in the stream and you go through all. I always go to treehouse of horror first of every season. Treehouse of war every, every year. But Duffman, Duff man, you know, Duff man, he had his purpose. Remember spuds mackenzie and all of that? That's where it came from. That's where it came from. Duffman. But duffman is going away. Going away. Oh, this is kind of interesting. One more, one more thing here. NFL streaming partners become under significant, well rounded criticism for their game day broadcast. However, one of the partners has decided to make fans. I don't think it's gonna make people happy. And it looks like peacock is going to allow you to be able to mute the announcers and hear the game without the announcers. I am sorry. Sportscasters, live announcers, our storytellers are glorious, particularly in baseball. What do you think about that?
- [38:00]
Christian Toto
Yeah, I agree. I mean, I think, listen, they're flawed. Sometimes they drive you a little crazy, but you need them. It's important. And they, they add quite a bit to the presentation. It seems weird to even think of them not being.
- [38:09]
Rob Carson
Why, why would you mute Mitch Andronic? His name, the voice of the Kansas City Chiefs. Why would you mute Kevin Harlan, for God's sake? Why would you mute the great voices? Because I love it. I love it. It'd be like muting, you know, Jack Buck. What the hell you thinking?
- [38:28]
Christian Toto
What the hell, Everyone that drives you crazy. There are dozens that do a great job.
- [38:33]
Rob Carson
I don't think it's the same. I don't think it's the same without the. I don't think it's the same without the announcer. Like to have the analysis. I like to have the breaks. I like to have the. I think it's. I think it's a shame. I think it's. I think it's a shame and it's been a little bit ridiculous. But. But Christian Toto, I Appreciate you being on the show, my friend. Where can people find. Tell us about your podcast, where you find you on social media. Obviously hollywood@toto.com.

Rob Carson
All right, take care. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Here's a headline. Ice agent's footage proves poet tried to run him over. Footage taken by the ICE agent forced to shoot a Minneapolis left wing activist in self defense proves what we already knew, that Renee Goode aimed her 2 ton suddenly at the ICE agent and hit the gas and she died a very vitriolic and awful person. What a horrible, horrible legacy for her children and her mental illness. ICE agent's footage proves this monster media scandal. Democrat narrative destroyed. And now it's time for arrests involving hundreds and maybe thousands of people involved in political bribery and kickbacks and theft around the country. Honestly. Wow. Wow. This is. This is gigantic. Yeah, the footage is everywhere. It's trending on Twitter. The body cam. Body cam footage of the police officer of the ICE agent shows that the woman and her partner were being harassing. They're being psychotic and she was being psychotic behind the wheel and she went after the officer with her vehicle. So there you go. Look what you get. Look what you get when you play with the big boys. Look what you get. By the way, before the weekend is over, text my name, Rob to 989-8984 Birch Cold.
