00:00:15.750 --> 00:00:21.890
Hey, everybody. It's that time again. Drinks with DeeDee. And John.
2
00:00:21.929 --> 00:00:22.469
That's me.
3
00:00:23.530 --> 00:00:23.910
I love you.
4
00:00:24.289 --> 00:00:26.839
I love you, too. I don't remember the.
5
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:30.420
I don't remember the order.
6
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:33.899
Well.
7
00:00:38.740 --> 00:00:40.659
I am a gog.
8
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:46.009
I'm just simply a gog. I don't know what happened.
9
00:00:46.030 --> 00:00:48.429
We're talking about it this morning. Let me get a
10
00:00:48.429 --> 00:00:49.630
little more you in there, baby.
11
00:00:49.649 --> 00:00:52.750
I don't know if it was.
12
00:00:52.770 --> 00:00:54.869
Maybe it's your head.
13
00:00:55.590 --> 00:00:55.929
Could be.
14
00:00:56.070 --> 00:00:57.850
I think I knocked your hat crooked just then. I
15
00:00:57.890 --> 00:00:58.270
do that.
16
00:00:58.729 --> 00:01:03.520
Oh, but the kiss was worth it then. She's worth it.
17
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:07.959
So I don't know. I was out there on the
18
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.379
back porch working out, thinking, what.
19
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:12.340
What.
20
00:01:13.090 --> 00:01:17.170
What did we do wrong? What would I have done differently? Hindsight,
21
00:01:17.290 --> 00:01:20.950
as they say, is 20-20. And this kind of struck me.
22
00:01:20.969 --> 00:01:25.439
I think a bunch of things happened, but see what
23
00:01:25.459 --> 00:01:29.000
you think about this. One is that a whole bunch
24
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.269
of people who've never voted before got to vote for
25
00:01:32.310 --> 00:01:33.750
the first time, which is very exciting.
26
00:01:33.769 --> 00:01:35.489
I remember when I got to vote for the first time.
27
00:01:36.810 --> 00:01:42.030
And so that was a number, I think, that and
28
00:01:42.090 --> 00:01:43.969
a demographic that was kind.
29
00:01:43.769 --> 00:01:44.950
Of ignored.
30
00:01:45.939 --> 00:01:50.659
By the Republicans or discounted by me too, kind of discounted.
31
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:58.010
So this, this voter base showed up like never before.
32
00:01:58.769 --> 00:02:02.310
And then I think still, I'd love to find out
33
00:02:02.329 --> 00:02:04.510
what the numbers are and we're going to find out eventually,
34
00:02:04.530 --> 00:02:08.960
you know, what percentage of registered Republicans voted, what percentage
35
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:14.689
of registered Democrats voted. voted. I'd like to know, you know,
36
00:02:14.729 --> 00:02:17.210
do I think there were some shenanigans and things like
37
00:02:17.250 --> 00:02:19.789
in Westchester County, the voting machine stopped, a bunch of
38
00:02:19.810 --> 00:02:25.009
places the machine stopped. So yeah, but it's undeniable that
39
00:02:26.289 --> 00:02:35.090
Democrats won almost everything, everywhere. Three folks, Tuberville, that we endorsed,
40
00:02:35.330 --> 00:02:37.789
we spoke for, and of course, Andy Barr, who we

41
00:02:37.830 --> 00:02:43.180
spoke for, And Marsha, Marsha, Marsha in Tennessee, they won.
42
00:02:43.659 --> 00:02:46.780
They won, so that was great. Florida did great. I'm
43
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:54.069
shocked about Texas, though. So what I was thinking I
44
00:02:54.229 --> 00:02:58.659
would have done is I would have done extensive research
45
00:02:59.939 --> 00:03:01.319
about how to.
46
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.900
Combat the young vote. I don't even know what they
47
00:03:05.939 --> 00:03:06.599
call them right now.
48
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:10.169
They're not... They're not millennials. I don't know.
49
00:03:10.430 --> 00:03:11.629
Maybe they're, I don't, I don't know.
50
00:03:11.669 --> 00:03:12.009
Sorry.
51
00:03:12.050 --> 00:03:13.650
The alphabet generations.
52
00:03:13.710 --> 00:03:16.669
Yeah. So I'm not really sure. And see, that shows
53
00:03:16.729 --> 00:03:19.949
my ignorance of that demographic. But one thing I do
54
00:03:20.009 --> 00:03:25.860
know about, about a kind of a personality trait of
55
00:03:25.939 --> 00:03:29.099
that demographic, kind of like with every, with every group,
56
00:03:29.139 --> 00:03:31.039
when I was a kid, it was a generation gap.
57
00:03:31.099 --> 00:03:35.039
They call it the generation gap. No 17-year-old wants to
58
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.169
be like their dad or their mom or their parents.
59
00:03:38.210 --> 00:03:42.409
They just don't. So I think there is a tendency,
60
00:03:42.509 --> 00:03:48.949
especially if people play into that, that young folks are
61
00:03:48.969 --> 00:03:52.289
going to automatically vote. It's not because they hate Trump
62
00:03:52.330 --> 00:03:53.889
and it's not because they hate this and hate that.
63
00:03:54.110 --> 00:03:56.810
It's because they desperately don't want to be like their parents.
64
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.680
And I understand that. So I think I would have
65
00:04:00.699 --> 00:04:05.469
done something to try to get in there and say,
66
00:04:05.509 --> 00:04:09.289
you know, that, that, uh, I don't know. I don't know,
67
00:04:09.310 --> 00:04:10.669
but I'm shocked. I'm just shocked.
68
00:04:12.030 --> 00:04:16.939
I'm, uh, wondering where the pony is in this steaming
69
00:04:17.019 --> 00:04:17.879
pile of poo.
70
00:04:20.019 --> 00:04:23.850
Uh, What do you think? What's going to happen? We
71
00:04:24.149 --> 00:04:26.189
have a crystal ball here?
72
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.279
Well, I do think a big part of it was gas.
73
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.379
I mean, look, when people can't gas up their car,
74
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:35.060
pay their bills, and get that extra piece of meat
75
00:04:35.259 --> 00:04:38.410
at the grocery store, that makes a difference. And whoever's
76
00:04:38.470 --> 00:04:40.550
in office is going to get the blame whether they
77
00:04:40.589 --> 00:04:43.529
deserve it or not. And we were very concerned about
78
00:04:43.550 --> 00:04:46.329
the gas situation. Also, people didn't like the war in Iran,
79
00:04:46.370 --> 00:04:49.180
which got the blame, which really was the cause of it.
80
00:04:49.750 --> 00:04:53.089
High gas prices. So that is enough right there. You know,
81
00:04:53.129 --> 00:04:56.310
things that are going to impact your everyday life like that,
82
00:04:56.490 --> 00:04:59.490
they're like, I'm not voting for the guy there. I'm
83
00:04:59.509 --> 00:05:00.170
going to change.
84
00:05:01.050 --> 00:05:04.689
I agree on everything except Tallarico.
85
00:05:05.689 --> 00:05:08.250
I don't think Tallarico would have anything to do with.
86
00:05:08.449 --> 00:05:12.310
I mean, how in the world is a vegan who's
87
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:13.600
against fossil fuels.
88
00:05:15.379 --> 00:05:17.259
representing texas texas has.
89
00:05:17.139 --> 00:05:19.699
Been changing for a long time but it's a great
90
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:24.129
place though remember ted cruz almost lost uh i think
91
00:05:24.170 --> 00:05:26.910
beta i think that was his name and it's the
92
00:05:26.949 --> 00:05:29.850
demographics have been changing a lot a lot more than
93
00:05:29.889 --> 00:05:32.230
we thought uh but for the governor to go down
94
00:05:32.949 --> 00:05:35.569
and for the fact to get the i mean oh
95
00:05:35.610 --> 00:05:38.870
yes it's one thing for these people the federal laws
96
00:05:38.910 --> 00:05:43.569
but it's also statewide You know, these are executives. You know,
97
00:05:43.610 --> 00:05:47.860
they're president of their state. And for Texas to go blue.
98
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:50.040
I mean, it's been a minute. I mean, Ann Richards
99
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.680
did it. But it's been a minute. I mean, this
100
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.259
has been the worst beating.
101
00:05:56.379 --> 00:05:57.060
Ass whooping.
102
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:57.500
Yeah.
103
00:05:58.220 --> 00:05:58.949
What did George W.
104
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:00.279
Bush call it?
105
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:00.699
Thumping.
106
00:06:01.060 --> 00:06:02.139
This was a thumping.
107
00:06:03.029 --> 00:06:04.279
And we did not expect it.
108
00:06:04.310 --> 00:06:06.910
I didn't expect a thumping. I thought I honestly, truly
109
00:06:07.029 --> 00:06:09.269
believed we were going to be doing the thumping.
110
00:06:10.029 --> 00:06:11.370
I really didn't think.
111
00:06:11.230 --> 00:06:13.250
That, but I thought we'd at least get one house
112
00:06:13.410 --> 00:06:15.129
and we did not. And then we lost a lot
113
00:06:15.149 --> 00:06:19.370
of statewide races. Oh, it's terrible, but it is America.
114
00:06:18.930 --> 00:06:21.350
Still the best. Absolutely.
115
00:06:21.370 --> 00:06:23.310
That's why we're wearing red, white, and blue today.
116
00:06:23.670 --> 00:06:26.769
I mean, it's, it's upsetting, but you know, one thing
117
00:06:27.250 --> 00:06:29.910
is I think that if the Democrats lost, don't know,
118
00:06:30.509 --> 00:06:33.040
but there may have been crazy people
in the streets
119
00:06:33.100 --> 00:06:33.699
setting things up.
120
00:06:33.709 --> 00:06:35.699
Oh yeah. Things set on fire. Yeah, it's true.
121
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:40.240
Democrats do not complain about Republicans, uh, being, you know,
122
00:06:41.180 --> 00:06:41.970
gentleman about it.
123
00:06:42.220 --> 00:06:42.680
Oh, yeah.
124
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:47.040
Well, meaning really the president's like, okay, he's not even
125
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:47.569
fighting it.
126
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:48.139
No.
127
00:06:48.620 --> 00:06:52.079
And shouldn't, because it was shellacking. Now, I will say,
128
00:06:52.339 --> 00:06:58.439
John Thune sucks. John Thune, please, just go to another country.
129
00:06:58.689 --> 00:07:02.089
You're terrible. Because the Save America Act would have helped.
130
00:07:02.129 --> 00:07:03.850
I don't know if it would have made enough of
131
00:07:03.930 --> 00:07:07.089
a difference. I think in some races it would have.
132
00:07:07.110 --> 00:07:10.740
It may have been enough. But John Thune, a Republican.
133
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:14.029
Well, there were 20,000 votes in Los Angeles alone.
134
00:07:14.050 --> 00:07:17.529
The big villain. I cannot believe John Thune did what
135
00:07:17.550 --> 00:07:19.850
he did. But I don't know. I feel like maybe
136
00:07:19.930 --> 00:07:21.569
one day he'll pop up on an island with a
137
00:07:21.610 --> 00:07:24.949
great big mansion and a set of cards or something.
138
00:07:24.970 --> 00:07:28.860
Because there's something really weird about this guy who is
139
00:07:28.980 --> 00:07:31.540
the leader of the Senate for the Republican Party. And
140
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.360
you're not going to pass the Save America Act. So
141
00:07:34.420 --> 00:07:35.579
people have to have voter I.D.
142
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:38.519
I mean, why? Yeah.
143
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:42.000
Compromise in some way and compromise can mean a lot
144
00:07:42.019 --> 00:07:46.670
of things, but, uh, even if it's his brain was compromised,
145
00:07:47.050 --> 00:07:49.589
but it's just too bad. So, but what are we
146
00:07:49.610 --> 00:07:52.389
going to do? We have to move forward. We have to,
147
00:07:52.410 --> 00:07:55.250
but to your point, honey, to learn from the mistakes.
148
00:07:56.310 --> 00:07:58.149
Yeah. Well, identify the mistakes first.
149
00:07:58.310 --> 00:08:03.290
Right. And then, uh, and then learn from them because, uh, in,
150
00:08:04.209 --> 00:08:08.250
so we've been watching the news and, and, There seems
151
00:08:08.290 --> 00:08:12.170
to be a thread of the thought that, okay, well,
152
00:08:12.230 --> 00:08:15.009
now they won without having a platform.
153
00:08:16.029 --> 00:08:16.290
Really.
154
00:08:16.310 --> 00:08:20.449
They won without really touting any policy.
155
00:08:20.490 --> 00:08:25.029
Remember, this does usually happen. Usually the second term. goes
156
00:08:25.069 --> 00:08:28.009
the other way. Whoever the president is, the other party wins.
157
00:08:28.129 --> 00:08:29.310
That happens all the time.
158
00:08:29.850 --> 00:08:32.830
But not like this. Parties are different. They have differences
159
00:08:32.850 --> 00:08:36.620
of opinion about budgetary concerns and where money should go
160
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:37.899
and where money shouldn't go.
161
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.220
This is truly apples in the refrigerator.
162
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:44.100
Well, but it is the norm for folks to vote
163
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:46.279
the other way during a midterm. But not like this.
164
00:08:46.340 --> 00:08:49.960
This was not just voting. This was like a nuke.
165
00:08:50.700 --> 00:08:54.679
I mean, it was unbelievable. is unbelievable, but we're going
166
00:08:54.700 --> 00:08:58.820
to have to figure it out. There are some doomsday
167
00:08:58.860 --> 00:09:01.690
folks that are like, our country's gone, it's over.
168
00:09:01.970 --> 00:09:05.789
Our country is gone and over if a Democrat takes
169
00:09:05.870 --> 00:09:08.429
the presidency in 28.
170
00:09:08.429 --> 00:09:10.500
I would say, our country as we know it.
171
00:09:11.590 --> 00:09:14.129
And you know, these people want to fundamentally, that's one
172
00:09:14.149 --> 00:09:16.720
of the first things Barack Obama said when he became president,
173
00:09:16.980 --> 00:09:19.159
we're going to fundamentally change America.
174
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.399
Well, He's been working on that for.
175
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:23.019
A long time. He's been working on that. And he
176
00:09:23.059 --> 00:09:23.919
never stopped.
177
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:26.440
Working on it because he never left D.C. He was
178
00:09:26.460 --> 00:09:30.000
always having these meetings, you know, made the big cheesecake
179
00:09:30.070 --> 00:09:32.070
joke about, you know, the ballroom.
180
00:09:32.090 --> 00:09:34.730
I wrote a song about it. I did. It's very good.
181
00:09:34.750 --> 00:09:37.029
But why don't you maybe say that's right.
182
00:09:39.740 --> 00:09:41.580
We stopped going there today.
183
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:45.090
Maybe we're going to fundamentally change America for the better.
184
00:09:45.299 --> 00:09:45.879
I don't know.
185
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:46.570
We're going to.
186
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:47.409
We're going.
187
00:09:47.429 --> 00:09:48.570
Fundamentally, it's trying to.
188
00:09:48.590 --> 00:09:51.990
Yeah, it's terrible. And apparently he has. He's certainly changed.
189
00:09:53.389 --> 00:09:57.889
He's changed a generation. And like I said, I'm very
190
00:09:57.970 --> 00:10:00.960
interested to know the numbers. You know, what is it
191
00:10:00.980 --> 00:10:02.559
that put them so far.
192
00:10:02.419 --> 00:10:03.039
Over the top?
193
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.879
I think a lot of young voters. Yeah. You know, Florida,
194
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:07.720
and I mentioned this to John, Florida.
195
00:10:08.620 --> 00:10:09.940
Is a
retirement state.
196
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:12.940
Yes. There are more old people there than young people.
197
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:15.200
And we won, but not by much. No.
198
00:10:16.429 --> 00:10:17.029
Not by much.
199
00:10:17.289 --> 00:10:18.809
True. And that's scary.
200
00:10:19.940 --> 00:10:21.100
Georgia went way blue.
201
00:10:22.419 --> 00:10:25.279
Ohio. How can Vivek lose? He did.
202
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:26.519
Yeah, he sure did.
203
00:10:26.539 --> 00:10:29.059
So, yeah, our neighbor is going to be a blue state.
204
00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:31.100
Or at least the governor's office.
205
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.669
Well, and Max didn't win here either.
206
00:10:34.690 --> 00:10:39.750
Yeah, bye-bye. Well, that was going to be tricky because
207
00:10:39.809 --> 00:10:44.850
his father and his grandfather and the Bias, I mean,
208
00:10:44.870 --> 00:10:47.820
they just dominated for so many years. You know, and
209
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:52.620
he's nice-looking and a Marine and well-spoken, and he gets it.
210
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:53.519
But we'll see.
211
00:10:54.470 --> 00:10:56.690
It's like what has been happening, and we talked about
212
00:10:56.730 --> 00:10:58.289
this on the show a bunch of times, what's been
213
00:10:58.330 --> 00:11:03.269
happening in Manhattan is that people have to show ID
214
00:11:03.309 --> 00:11:05.070
in order to get their free groceries.
215
00:11:05.409 --> 00:11:06.690
Of course, Bruce Blankman.
216
00:11:06.730 --> 00:11:13.649
They're from Manhattan and not bridge-and-tunnel people. So that's kind
217
00:11:13.669 --> 00:11:16.740
of ironic that in a place where they are against
218
00:11:17.220 --> 00:11:20.120
voter ID, you have to have shopping ID.
219
00:11:20.259 --> 00:11:21.820
But you have to have the ID to get that
220
00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:22.860
loaf of bread and milk.
221
00:11:23.100 --> 00:11:26.419
Right. Which makes sense, but not to vote. But not
222
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:29.720
to vote. But I think what is going to happen
223
00:11:30.019 --> 00:11:35.139
is that the Democrats come, when is it, January 20th?
224
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.700
I believe so, yes.
225
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.139
So once everything shifts, hang on between now and then.
226
00:11:42.179 --> 00:11:44.179
It doesn't matter what date it is.
227
00:11:44.539 --> 00:11:47.840
I mean, the president, when the president gets elected, it
228
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:48.980
might be a different.
229
00:11:49.580 --> 00:11:52.759
So what's going to happen between now and then?
230
00:11:53.690 --> 00:11:56.009
Who has any idea? But then I.
231
00:11:59.370 --> 00:12:03.610
Think the Democrats are going to try to push forth
232
00:12:03.789 --> 00:12:05.289
some very common sense.
233
00:12:05.330 --> 00:12:08.190
They're going to start. They're immediately going to start acting
234
00:12:08.230 --> 00:12:08.970
like Republicans.
235
00:12:10.190 --> 00:12:12.250
January 3rd. Yeah, I thought
it was more in the
236
00:12:12.269 --> 00:12:17.230
beginning of the year. Well, that's when the president is inaugurated.
237
00:12:17.970 --> 00:12:22.490
So they're going to put forth some laws and some things.
238
00:12:22.509 --> 00:12:24.330
They're going to want to do some things that are
239
00:12:24.350 --> 00:12:26.649
going to sound very Republican and they're going to make sense.
240
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:30.000
My sincere hope is that.
241
00:12:31.659 --> 00:12:37.250
Mr. Vito doesn't just Vito, he's a smart, smart man.
242
00:12:37.269 --> 00:12:38.590
Do you know what I think of every time you
243
00:12:38.610 --> 00:12:38.970
say that?
244
00:12:39.029 --> 00:12:39.679
Or they say it?
245
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:41.460
What? Miss Vito.
246
00:12:41.580 --> 00:12:42.700
Oh, Miss Vito.
247
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:45.600
Come here, Miss Vito.
248
00:12:45.980 --> 00:12:46.799
That's right. Yeah.
249
00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:49.960
So every time I hear Mr. Vito, I think Miss Vito.
250
00:12:50.259 --> 00:12:52.720
It's my fiance. Are you his fiance? Yeah.
251
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:53.639
Mona Lisa Vito.
252
00:12:53.659 --> 00:12:55.740
Mona Lisa Vito. Great movie.
253
00:12:56.179 --> 00:12:59.440
So I think they're going to try to, they're going
254
00:12:59.460 --> 00:13:02.820
to try to, force him to do things that are
255
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:08.289
against common sense to try to damage whoever the 2028
256
00:13:08.289 --> 00:13:14.370
Republican candidate is. So, and then they're going to try
257
00:13:14.409 --> 00:13:17.129
to put forth some, you know, terrible, or they may not,
258
00:13:17.450 --> 00:13:21.830
they may just be wonderful and charming for, for, for
259
00:13:21.929 --> 00:13:22.549
two years.
260
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:25.250
And I doubt it.
261
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:30.440
I don't know, but it's, it's, Frightening, truly frightening times
262
00:13:30.500 --> 00:13:35.919
because we have now, we have more than teased, excuse me,
263
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:41.909
the United States with a socialist communist doctrine. We have
264
00:13:41.970 --> 00:13:47.090
more than opened the doors and let the vampire see
265
00:13:47.129 --> 00:13:51.490
what's in here. We have opened the doors, seen the vampire,
266
00:13:51.669 --> 00:13:56.590
and now we have officially invited him and her Into
267
00:13:56.669 --> 00:13:57.330
our households.
268
00:13:57.490 --> 00:13:58.649
Trojan horse.
269
00:13:58.889 --> 00:14:00.370
Yeah. So it's.
270
00:14:01.710 --> 00:14:02.129
And again.
271
00:14:02.149 --> 00:14:04.350
And I pray. I hope I'm wrong.
272
00:14:05.769 --> 00:14:07.029
But historically.
273
00:14:07.250 --> 00:14:07.769
It's a pie.
274
00:14:08.009 --> 00:14:16.809
Historically, socialism does not work. Socialism breeds. Breeds people like Castro.
275
00:14:16.929 --> 00:14:18.009
It's anti-American.
276
00:14:18.100 --> 00:14:24.120
Socialism is anti-freedom. It sounds cool at the beginning. You know,
277
00:14:24.139 --> 00:14:26.200
but it's kind of a. It's kind of a water
278
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:30.419
cooler in a concentration camp. Oh, well, here's a little
279
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:31.759
relief from what's going on.
280
00:14:31.820 --> 00:14:34.659
Oh, thank you, thank you. And then, kapow.
281
00:14:35.610 --> 00:14:38.309
I mean, historically, and if history has anything to do with,
282
00:14:38.389 --> 00:14:41.450
I don't know, history, then it's not going to work.
283
00:14:41.730 --> 00:14:44.190
It's kind of like that little story about the zoo,
284
00:14:44.230 --> 00:14:47.500
and you've got the lion in his cage, and he
285
00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:50.080
didn't have to do anything, just hangs out. They keep
286
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:53.210
chucking meat in there. Didn't have to hunt. And you
287
00:14:53.250 --> 00:14:53.950
have to do anything.
288
00:14:53.990 --> 00:14:54.929
You have to do anything.
289
00:14:54.950 --> 00:14:56.669
But then the door closes and you're locked in.
290
00:14:56.710 --> 00:14:56.870
Right.
291
00:14:57.190 --> 00:14:57.850
And that lion dies young.
292
00:14:57.889 --> 00:14:58.669
And you lose your freedom.
293
00:14:59.250 --> 00:15:02.870
So that's what it leads to. And it's really just,
294
00:15:03.190 --> 00:15:05.629
as you said, honey, it's scary. I mean, I love
295
00:15:05.669 --> 00:15:08.889
our country so much and I love President Trump. And
296
00:15:08.909 --> 00:15:10.870
people can try to blame him all day, but I
297
00:15:10.909 --> 00:15:14.789
don't care. He is awesome. And on a good note.
298
00:15:16.210 --> 00:15:18.070
We got to chat with him last week.
299
00:15:18.330 --> 00:15:18.649
We did.
300
00:15:18.789 --> 00:15:22.700
We went to a rally for Darlene Graham. She didn't
301
00:15:22.740 --> 00:15:23.070
make it.
302
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:23.659
Right.
303
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.100
But we were able to meet the president's team. I've
304
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:30.179
met him before. I've known him for a while.
305
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:32.100
He said I was good looking.
306
00:15:33.299 --> 00:15:33.720
Twice.
307
00:15:35.179 --> 00:15:35.759
Twice.
308
00:15:35.779 --> 00:15:39.750
He's on the podium. And so we chat with him
309
00:15:40.070 --> 00:15:41.809
before the rally or whatever. And then we go out
310
00:15:41.870 --> 00:15:44.360
and have us in the front row. and with all
311
00:15:44.379 --> 00:15:47.019
the other folks running, and then Lee Bryce as well,
312
00:15:47.059 --> 00:15:47.480
your friend.
313
00:15:47.539 --> 00:15:48.759
Right, Lee is there.
314
00:15:49.070 --> 00:15:54.470
Yep. And he's like, oh, John Schneider's here. That show,
315
00:15:54.529 --> 00:15:55.289
Dukes of Hazzard.
316
00:15:55.990 --> 00:15:57.169
I grew up with that show.
317
00:15:57.190 --> 00:15:58.269
What a great show.
318
00:15:58.330 --> 00:16:01.009
That part was a little, I felt like the numbers were.
319
00:16:01.029 --> 00:16:02.200
He didn't say it that way.
320
00:16:02.210 --> 00:16:02.659
He said it.
321
00:16:02.850 --> 00:16:04.070
I think he meant like everybody.
322
00:16:04.110 --> 00:16:05.889
He said it more like, you know, this is like
323
00:16:05.990 --> 00:16:06.549
apple pie.
324
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:09.159
Yeah. Like we all grew up with it. We loved
325
00:16:09.179 --> 00:16:11.519
Dukes of Hazzard. I loved Dukes of Hazzard. And it's like, boy,
326
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:12.299
you're good looking.
327
00:16:12.379 --> 00:16:13.279
That crazy show.
328
00:16:13.299 --> 00:16:13.840
Yeah, you look good.
329
00:16:13.860 --> 00:16:17.240
You're really good looking. Twice. And I agree.
330
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:18.580
He's a very smart man.
331
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:20.799
Oh, shucks. Yeah.
332
00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:23.519
So anyway, and of course, John was just mobbed by everybody.
333
00:16:23.610 --> 00:16:28.149
And everybody was very sweet and patient and basically waited
334
00:16:28.230 --> 00:16:31.370
in line to get a picture with John. And they
335
00:16:31.389 --> 00:16:33.190
were incredibly nice.
336
00:16:33.309 --> 00:16:34.750
These were senators and such.
337
00:16:35.149 --> 00:16:35.429
True.
338
00:16:35.889 --> 00:16:36.090
Yep.
339
00:16:36.350 --> 00:16:37.070
Elected officials.
340
00:16:37.169 --> 00:16:38.429
They like Bo Duke.
341
00:16:38.450 --> 00:16:39.509
They like Dukes of Hazzard.
342
00:16:42.019 --> 00:16:44.100
Alabama? Tuberville?
343
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:44.620
Tuberville?
344
00:16:45.340 --> 00:16:45.679
Governor?
345
00:16:45.700 --> 00:16:47.299
I don't know.
346
00:16:49.750 --> 00:16:53.029
Alan, we just met him. Oh, he won. Oh, thank God.
347
00:16:53.049 --> 00:16:53.929
South Carolina, baby.
348
00:16:54.009 --> 00:16:55.629
I'm sorry, South Carolina.
349
00:16:55.750 --> 00:16:57.350
I'll double check, but I believe he won.
350
00:16:57.450 --> 00:16:58.029
Oh, thank goodness.
351
00:16:58.090 --> 00:17:00.149
I'm glad you brought him. Yeah, that was a good one,
352
00:17:00.169 --> 00:17:01.330
but I'm like, uh.
353
00:17:02.470 --> 00:17:05.309
What a great guy. What a great.
354
00:17:06.690 --> 00:17:06.950
Yeah.
355
00:17:07.130 --> 00:17:07.529
Great guy.
356
00:17:07.630 --> 00:17:11.900
And, of course, you know, I do... I do have a.
357
00:17:11.930 --> 00:17:16.400
Tendency, an overwhelming tendency, I will tell you, to think people.
358
00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:17.190
He won. Yay. Yay.
359
00:17:18.460 --> 00:17:23.039
People are great who immediately come up and say they
360
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:25.420
loved either Dukes of Hazzard or Smallville. Or the haves
361
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:28.900
and have-nots. But I do, obviously, I have more of
362
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:29.759
a kinship with them.
363
00:17:30.180 --> 00:17:31.440
Speaking of that.
364
00:17:31.460 --> 00:17:36.680
Let's see, you're watching this on Thursday. Tomorrow, we will
365
00:17:36.740 --> 00:17:42.410
be in Covington, Georgia, where
this whole thing got started.
366
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:45.470
where Dukes of Hazzard started right there in the town
367
00:17:45.509 --> 00:17:47.210
square where, yes, there were two.
368
00:17:47.089 --> 00:17:49.109
General Lee's in one shot at the same time.
369
00:17:50.650 --> 00:17:54.529
We caught a General Lee parked in the square from
370
00:17:54.569 --> 00:17:55.539
the windshield of the other one.
371
00:17:55.549 --> 00:17:57.150
Did you say that Dukes of Hazzard in the beginning
372
00:17:57.369 --> 00:17:59.799
to Warner Brothers was just a joke? It was a filler?
373
00:17:59.880 --> 00:18:00.519
It was just a filler.
374
00:18:00.539 --> 00:18:02.500
They didn't expect. They were just trying to fill in
375
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:03.200
for something else.
376
00:18:03.220 --> 00:18:05.480
Five shows, that was it. It was super popular.
377
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:08.900
It still is today. Very few shows have blasting power
378
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:11.200
like that, that are iconic like that. Very few.
379
00:18:11.220 --> 00:18:11.319
Yep.
380
00:18:12.750 --> 00:18:15.609
I can't think of really any that have....
381
00:18:15.970 --> 00:18:18.609
Andy Griffith.
382
00:18:18.670 --> 00:18:21.410
Yeah, but Duke's is different just because it's an hour.
383
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:23.640
It's like Star Trek is different because it's an hour.
384
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:26.500
But what people forget about, well, they don't even know
385
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:29.960
about Star Trek. Star Trek was not a popular show
386
00:18:29.980 --> 00:18:32.099
when it was on. I think it only lasted three years.
387
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:32.920
Yeah, it did not last long.
388
00:18:32.940 --> 00:18:36.140
And then in reruns and things, it became iconic. All
389
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:39.160
of a sudden, Star Trek became something very special.
390
00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:39.880
Once a comic book.
391
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:42.609
And I'm not sure why. I love Star Trek.
392
00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:45.230
I love it. Well, but they didn't when it was on.
393
00:18:45.289 --> 00:18:47.549
Dukes is different because they loved it when it was on.
394
00:18:47.589 --> 00:18:50.069
They loved it in syndication. They loved it in reruns.
395
00:18:50.089 --> 00:18:52.190
They loved it after school. They loved it on the
396
00:18:52.230 --> 00:18:54.450
Nashville Network. They loved it, loved it, loved it. Anytime
397
00:18:54.490 --> 00:18:56.950
it comes on, they love it, except for that movie
398
00:18:56.990 --> 00:18:57.309
they made.
399
00:18:59.069 --> 00:19:02.269
Well, at these Comic-Cons, and we like doing them because
400
00:19:02.329 --> 00:19:05.569
it's fun to meet everybody, and it's a festive time,
401
00:19:05.690 --> 00:19:08.710
and we just like it. It's good to see folks
402
00:19:08.750 --> 00:19:11.960
that love Dukes of Hazzard, but The only people that
403
00:19:11.980 --> 00:19:12.380
compete with.
404
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:14.720
Covington's going to be... The only people that.
405
00:19:14.579 --> 00:19:17.369
Compete with Sean. William Shatner.
406
00:19:18.390 --> 00:19:18.789
Anything.
407
00:19:18.809 --> 00:19:20.109
You know, Star Trek's big.
408
00:19:20.190 --> 00:19:21.309
Star Trek's big.
409
00:19:22.049 --> 00:19:25.630
And Star Wars. If Anakin Skywalker's there, he's going.
410
00:19:25.509 --> 00:19:27.069
To do well. Oh, yeah. He's going to do well.
411
00:19:27.269 --> 00:19:28.089
Yeah, he's great.
412
00:19:28.109 --> 00:19:30.710
But Dukes of Hazzard is right up there in space
413
00:19:30.819 --> 00:19:33.160
with Star Trek. Right up there in the stars with
414
00:19:33.180 --> 00:19:33.720
Star Trek.
415
00:19:34.539 --> 00:19:35.859
The Dukes of Stars.
416
00:19:36.099 --> 00:19:36.380
That's right.
417
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:37.079
The Dukes of Star Wars.
418
00:19:37.099 --> 00:19:37.519
So, yeah.
419
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:38.900
The Dukes of Star Wars.
420
00:19:38.940 --> 00:19:39.759
The Dukes of Hazzard.
421
00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:40.200
It just.
422
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:43.130
It gets... I think stronger and stronger all the time.
423
00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:44.079
It's amazing.
424
00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:47.390
Well, people are, nostalgic about that. And you're going to
425
00:19:47.410 --> 00:19:50.950
get even more nostalgic about the good old days.
426
00:19:51.019 --> 00:19:51.619
I think so.
427
00:19:52.259 --> 00:19:58.160
I think that I'm going to agree with Rob that
428
00:19:58.180 --> 00:20:02.539
we just saw on Newsmax. Rob Astorino. Astorino, that a
429
00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:09.390
bunch of states just committed suicide. They just don't realize it. Yeah,
430
00:20:09.410 --> 00:20:13.329
of course you don't realize it yet. But, you know, these,
431
00:20:13.869 --> 00:20:17.210
what's going to happen with the borders? Are all of
432
00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:24.880
the red states, all of the newly flipped blue states,
433
00:20:24.940 --> 00:20:30.339
pardon me, Democrat governors going to start more sanctuary cities?
434
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:31.960
I have to tell you, probably the worst part about
435
00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:34.970
yesterday is Texas. Because with it being on the border,
436
00:20:35.009 --> 00:20:36.609
they're just going to open it up. And we'll never
437
00:20:36.670 --> 00:20:39.450
get it back. And we can't win without Texas.
438
00:20:39.930 --> 00:20:43.150
Didn't the president, though, put something into law like last
439
00:20:43.230 --> 00:20:48.359
week that said no future president can open the borders?
440
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:50.900
Yeah, but if they stack the Supreme Court, they can
441
00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:56.900
change anything. I don't know. It's scary. It's scary stuff.
442
00:20:56.920 --> 00:20:59.380
So what's going to happen with that? What's going to
443
00:20:59.420 --> 00:21:01.119
happen when they talk about health care? Oh, we're going
444
00:21:01.140 -->
00:21:05.920
to get free health care. Okay, well. The 15 to
445
00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:09.380
20 million illegals who came in during the Biden administration,
446
00:21:09.619 --> 00:21:12.160
they got free health care, but what about the veterans? No.
447
00:21:13.299 --> 00:21:16.480
What about the folks that are living on the streets
448
00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:18.339
in Los Angeles? You know, they care so much about
449
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:21.569
the homeless in California, but are they getting free health care? No.
450
00:21:22.670 --> 00:21:26.470
The citizens that are homeless, the veterans that are homeless,
451
00:21:26.509 --> 00:21:27.769
are they getting free health care? No.
452
00:21:27.970 --> 00:21:29.190
Are they going to get free health care?
453
00:21:29.750 --> 00:21:36.009
No. Because eventually, free runs out, And the people who
454
00:21:37.109 --> 00:21:41.160
are paying for it, you know, the, the, the travesty
455
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:45.200
about last night is, or yesterday is that it used
456
00:21:45.259 --> 00:21:50.720
to be yesterday morning, billionaires or people who are entrepreneurs,
457
00:21:50.740 --> 00:21:53.529
people who are working successful people who own like our
458
00:21:53.589 --> 00:21:56.730
guy down here who owns his own donut shop. And
459
00:21:56.750 --> 00:21:59.470
we just met another gentleman who's opening up another, like
460
00:21:59.509 --> 00:22:02.039
a pastry shop on, uh, On Jefferson.
461
00:22:02.230 --> 00:22:04.079
Yeah, because we're mainstream USA people.
462
00:22:04.099 --> 00:22:04.400
Yeah.
463
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:04.819
Work.
464
00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:08.619
They work hard. They love their country. They love their business.
465
00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:11.559
And now it's going to get even harder for these folks.
466
00:22:11.579 --> 00:22:12.460
Now, where do people go?
467
00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:16.059
So the people who are saying no to the billionaire
468
00:22:16.119 --> 00:22:20.559
tax and no to excessive tax.
469
00:22:20.579 --> 00:22:21.559
They leave California.
470
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:22.779
I know, but where do they go now?
471
00:22:23.259 --> 00:22:23.619
Florida.
472
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:27.799
Florida. There's only one place. There's only one bastion of hope.
473
00:22:27.950 --> 00:22:28.890
I'm telling you, Texas.
474
00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:31.039
Indiana's great. Kentucky's great.
475
00:22:31.259 --> 00:22:35.140
But that's not where Silicon Valley people are going to go.
476
00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:38.660
Texas is totally in the traffic. Texas, I can't believe.
477
00:22:38.700 --> 00:22:38.859
John.
478
00:22:39.259 --> 00:22:40.549
I have to tell you, to me, that was the
479
00:22:40.569 --> 00:22:40.849
biggest shock.
480
00:22:40.869 --> 00:22:42.210
Thank God for Indiana, by the way.
481
00:22:42.269 --> 00:22:45.809
Thank God for Kentucky. Thank you, Florida.
482
00:22:46.660 --> 00:22:49.299
And I think Max would have won maybe if he'd
483
00:22:49.339 --> 00:22:51.559
gotten in earlier. But Bo Bayh.
484
00:22:51.579 --> 00:22:53.240
I think you're right.
485
00:22:53.259 --> 00:22:55.039
The Bayh.
486
00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:55.759
He did well.
487
00:22:56.259 --> 00:22:58.380
He wasn't in there long.
488
00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:02.200
I'm telling you, it is like the Kennedy legacy of Indiana.
489
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:07.460
It is. Meaning like Kennedy, you know, even Republicans liked Kennedy.
490
00:23:08.470 --> 00:23:10.990
Republicans voted for Bo Bayh, too. I know they did.
491
00:23:11.009 --> 00:23:11.869
I know they did.
492
00:23:11.910 --> 00:23:14.849
We sat at a restaurant that we love here. Right.
493
00:23:15.970 --> 00:23:20.289
You know, just take house. Yep. And this woman's like, oh, well,
494
00:23:20.789 --> 00:23:22.809
he's going to win. And I hated it because I
495
00:23:22.829 --> 00:23:25.890
knew she was right or I was worried she might
496
00:23:25.950 --> 00:23:26.559
be right.
497
00:23:26.579 --> 00:23:27.319
Didn't want to be right.
498
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:28.779
Didn't want her to be right.
499
00:23:29.460 --> 00:23:31.460
Maybe, maybe... But they.
500
00:23:31.319 --> 00:23:33.819
Come across as Republicans. That's how they win in Indiana.
501
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:35.319
Well, and maybe, you know, what I was saying about
502
00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:37.609
Beau Bayh was that, you know, if he wins, God forbid,
503
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:38.930
if he wins, he's going to get there, but he
504
00:23:38.970 --> 00:23:39.569
won't be able to.
505
00:23:39.549 --> 00:23:41.769
Do any of the things he's running on because they
506
00:23:41.809 --> 00:23:42.430
won't let him.
507
00:23:42.609 --> 00:23:45.930
Well, maybe I'm... That's a different office.
508
00:23:46.009 --> 00:23:47.730
Yes, but that has everything to do with voters.
509
00:23:47.750 --> 00:23:48.569
Oh, I agree.
510
00:23:48.910 --> 00:23:49.359
I agree.
511
00:23:49.690 --> 00:23:55.119
But maybe I'm making the old guy mistake again. You know, maybe...
512
00:23:55.349 --> 00:24:00.230
Maybe they use the Democrat Socialists to be the sparkle
513
00:24:00.289 --> 00:24:01.170
and all this stuff.
514
00:24:01.369 --> 00:24:04.450
I don't know.
515
00:24:04.509 --> 00:24:07.119
Maybe they just use that. Maybe they will come back
516
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:12.839
toward the middle. Maybe that was all the pomp and
517
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:16.140
circumstance to get over the hurdle of the midterms.
518
00:24:16.539 --> 00:24:16.859
Maybe.
519
00:24:16.900 --> 00:24:17.200
I don't know.
520
00:24:17.220 --> 00:24:19.289
I think that perhaps that's wishful thinking.
521
00:24:19.750 --> 00:24:24.069
But maybe well because it can't be all democrats cannot
522
00:24:24.210 --> 00:24:25.930
be that crazy.
523
00:24:27.309 --> 00:24:30.710
You only need a nap and the other ones and
524
00:24:30.750 --> 00:24:34.109
but that's a different story because he's very nice-looking he's
525
00:24:34.170 --> 00:24:36.869
military you would think he was a republican you know
526
00:24:36.890 --> 00:24:38.670
and that's just like he sounds like it was like
527
00:24:38.730 --> 00:24:41.829
a candidate to ensure a very very polite you know
528
00:24:41.869 --> 00:24:43.569
he's like his mom is not you know it is
529
00:24:44.089 --> 00:24:46.869
dad charming to you but his mom really season by
530
00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:50.819
yet i mean and then The name. You know, name
531
00:24:50.859 --> 00:24:52.420
recognition is huge.
532
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:53.500
Oh, absolutely.
533
00:24:53.539 --> 00:24:56.740
The byes have been around forever and then honestly went
534
00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:59.480
away for a bit. And here they are back during
535
00:24:59.500 --> 00:25:03.049
this wave. So, but we love Indiana. And, you know,
536
00:25:03.089 --> 00:25:06.410
and I think we should be good Hoosiers and say congratulations.
537
00:25:06.509 --> 00:25:12.890
Absolutely. And we'll pray and we'll support unless they're insane.
538
00:25:12.910 --> 00:25:15.170
You know, if people want to do good things, absolutely.
539
00:25:15.430 --> 00:25:18.740
We'll help. We'll support good things for the people of Indiana.
540
00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:19.059
We'll help.
541
00:25:19.869 --> 00:25:21.569
People who want to do good things for any one
542
00:25:21.609 --> 00:25:22.950
of our amazing states.
543
00:25:23.049 --> 00:25:25.869
And I have Democrat friends. I mean, you know, the
544
00:25:25.910 --> 00:25:30.730
Democrats in Indiana are not the Democrats in California. I mean,
545
00:25:30.779 --> 00:25:37.500
the Democrats in Indiana are Republicans in California. Ah, true. Yeah, so,
546
00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:39.900
you know, we're in a really wonderful state. It is
547
00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:44.980
bright red, but buh-bye. Gotta give him credit. He absolutely won.
548
00:25:45.069 --> 00:25:50.619
And I tried. Tried to get him tossed out. That's
549
00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:51.079
what you do.
550
00:25:51.140 --> 00:25:53.019
We're not going to vote for the Democrat, but we
551
00:25:53.059 --> 00:25:53.900
can be supportive.
552
00:25:54.140 --> 00:25:54.500
Absolutely.
553
00:25:54.519 --> 00:25:57.039
Because you are Hoosier like we are, and that's the
554
00:25:57.079 --> 00:26:00.960
way it goes. You won. And President Trump was like that. Hey,
555
00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:01.359
they won.
556
00:26:01.380 --> 00:26:04.049
I'll work with them. Hey, we'll make a deal. As
557
00:26:04.089 --> 00:26:08.710
long as it's not ridiculous. That's the thing. I mean,
558
00:26:08.730 --> 00:26:11.130
if they're going to try... Here's the scariest thing for
559
00:26:11.170 --> 00:26:13.309
me is... Well, two things.
560
00:26:13.529 --> 00:26:16.549
The border is number one, but an open border.
561
00:26:17.059 --> 00:26:20.119
which I hope the president did something to preclude that
562
00:26:20.140 --> 00:26:21.099
from ever happening again.
563
00:26:21.779 --> 00:26:24.880
But the defunding of the police, I.
564
00:26:24.539 --> 00:26:27.960
Mean, this guy that won Syed, Syed, Syed, who won
565
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:30.480
in Minnesota, not Minnesota, Michigan.
566
00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:32.759
I thought we could win.
567
00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:38.259
Is for, is for, I think, not only defunding the police,
568
00:26:38.339 --> 00:26:42.160
but like abolishing them and getting rid of the second amendment.
569
00:26:42.460 --> 00:26:45.609
I mean, I actually thought there were Muslims before a bit.
570
00:26:46.450 --> 00:26:49.160
I thought, even in Indiana, I thought one of them,
571
00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:51.839
I'm a little confused because I thought on the news
572
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:56.079
it said this is the first Muslim to make it out. Well, Senate. Oh, Senate.
573
00:26:56.140 --> 00:26:58.920
That's what it is. Yeah. The first Muslim in the Senate.
574
00:26:59.369 --> 00:26:59.990
And we have those.
575
00:27:00.029 --> 00:27:00.950
It's not in the House.
576
00:27:00.970 --> 00:27:03.529
It's not in the Senate. I think she's a Democrat,
577
00:27:03.609 --> 00:27:05.369
and I wish she was a Republican, but the first
578
00:27:05.430 --> 00:27:10.029
black female governor. And forgive me, I don't.
579
00:27:10.130 --> 00:27:12.160
I think her name's Keisha something.
580
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:12.640
Yeah.
581
00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:13.380
Like three words.
582
00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:17.250
I think that's fantastic. I think that's fantastic. I have
583
00:27:17.289 --> 00:27:20.589
no idea what her policies are. But isn't it funny?
584
00:27:20.670 --> 00:27:23.690
I think it's kind of funny that that should be
585
00:27:23.950 --> 00:27:27.039
screamed from the rooftops. Nobody's saying anything about it. Except,
586
00:27:27.660 --> 00:27:33.579
you know, a disappointed Republican. I'm applauding her. That's fantastic.
587
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:35.740
We don't care about that. I mean, we always say that.
588
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:39.420
We're on merit. I don't care if you're black, white, green, woman, man.
589
00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:42.529
I don't care. But I want you to win on
590
00:27:42.549 --> 00:27:46.029
your merits. And I want you to be someone.
591
00:27:46.049 --> 00:27:46.990
Meritocracy.
592
00:27:47.049 --> 00:27:49.970
That's right. More meritocracy. I don't think you should... I
593
00:27:51.230 --> 00:27:55.069
don't think you should get any leeway for having a
594
00:27:55.109 --> 00:27:57.450
different color skin or having a different.
595
00:27:58.410 --> 00:28:00.190
No, and you know, what I love.
596
00:28:00.230 --> 00:28:02.210
You should be on the job that you do.
597
00:28:02.450 --> 00:28:05.609
I love that the gentleman who won the governor's race
598
00:28:05.769 --> 00:28:10.079
in Florida never mentioned it.
599
00:28:10.140 --> 00:28:13.440
No, he never did. The black guy who won the
600
00:28:13.460 --> 00:28:17.109
next governor...
That's fantastic. I did not mention it, but
601
00:28:17.130 --> 00:28:17.809
that's what I mean.
602
00:28:17.869 --> 00:28:18.809
And nobody else did either.
603
00:28:18.849 --> 00:28:20.750
He didn't want it to be about that. In fact,
604
00:28:20.809 --> 00:28:23.049
if I was a black woman, I'd be insulted if
605
00:28:23.309 --> 00:28:25.029
they were like, well, I'm going to vote for you
606
00:28:25.069 --> 00:28:27.170
because you're a black woman. No one should vote for me.
607
00:28:27.490 --> 00:28:28.130
Because I'm good.
608
00:28:28.170 --> 00:28:30.269
Because my policies will be great.
609
00:28:30.329 --> 00:28:31.009
I'm smart.
610
00:28:31.230 --> 00:28:34.750
I'm capable. Not for that reason. So, you know, I
611
00:28:34.789 --> 00:28:36.910
don't think it should be about your skin color or
612
00:28:36.950 --> 00:28:41.670
your sex. I don't like that. But anyway, but congratulations, too.
613
00:28:41.690 --> 00:28:44.079
I mean, you know, the day after, which is the
614
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:44.640
day after.
615
00:28:44.660 --> 00:28:46.119
This is Wednesday.
616
00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:50.700
Yeah, you'll see this on Thursday. But I'm telling you,
617
00:28:50.720 --> 00:28:55.799
it is just bizarre. It's bizarre.
618
00:28:55.960 --> 00:28:59.680
Maybe we're just old. Maybe I'm just old. You're only 29.
619
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:03.329
Tony, don't put that. I just dropped the F-bomb. Get
620
00:29:03.349 --> 00:29:03.710
rid of that.
621
00:29:04.289 --> 00:29:04.609
All right.
622
00:29:04.690 --> 00:29:06.150
Say that. Maybe we're just old.
623
00:29:06.170 --> 00:29:09.559
Maybe we're just old. Or maybe I'm just old because
624
00:29:09.579 --> 00:29:09.960
you're only 29.
625
00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:11.869
Well, I'm about to turn 30.
626
00:29:11.869 --> 00:29:13.549
It happens.
627
00:29:14.029 --> 00:29:15.230
I can't believe it. I'm going to turn 30.
628
00:29:15.230 --> 00:29:15.569
Really?
629
00:29:16.950 --> 00:29:22.609
In my mind. Hey, age is just a number. Yeah,
630
00:29:22.829 --> 00:29:25.369
my honey brought in a birthday present.
631
00:29:26.250 --> 00:29:27.910
Hopefully I don't set it on fire.
632
00:29:28.109 --> 00:29:30.009
It looks like it could be set on fire.
633
00:29:30.029 --> 00:29:30.829
Could be set on fire.
634
00:29:31.029 --> 00:29:31.710
But I don't want to.
635
00:29:31.730 --> 00:29:32.210
I love you.
636
00:29:32.329 --> 00:29:33.589
You're my birthday present.
637
00:29:33.609 --> 00:29:35.170
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't need anything.
638
00:29:35.349 --> 00:29:35.769
I'm good.
639
00:29:35.789 --> 00:29:36.789
Okay, then I'll just throw it away.
640
00:29:37.549 --> 00:29:38.539
Oh well, maybe not.
641
00:29:39.369 --> 00:29:39.549
See?
642
00:29:39.859 --> 00:29:41.259
No, I'm curious what it is.
643
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:42.420
That's why I put it in the middle of the room.
644
00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:43.799
Thank you very much.
645
00:29:43.819 --> 00:29:44.240
You're welcome.
646
00:29:44.299 --> 00:29:45.039
It's going to sit there.
647
00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:47.259
I thought you were going to let me open it
648
00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:47.759
on the show.
649
00:29:47.779 --> 00:29:48.660
No, it's not your birthday.
650
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:53.220
That's true. Happy birthday, baby.
651
00:29:53.259 --> 00:29:54.900
Happy birthday.
652
00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:57.400
Hey, so I'm scruffy because I don't know when I
653
00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:01.369
go to play the topless king. Whether or not, I
654
00:30:01.390 --> 00:30:04.150
don't think I should be clean shaven. They'll tell me
655
00:30:04.190 --> 00:30:07.710
when I get there. But what I usually do before
656
00:30:07.779 --> 00:30:12.880
a movie is I just let this go. Especially, I
657
00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:14.940
was going to trim my eyebrows yesterday because when I
658
00:30:14.980 --> 00:30:17.240
was doing some political commentary.
659
00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:20.160
I'm a king. It's like.
660
00:30:20.410 --> 00:30:22.910
I can't tell you anymore because we signed a contract.
661
00:30:22.930 --> 00:30:25.450
We're not able to talk about it. But we already
662
00:30:25.490 --> 00:30:27.710
did say he's the topless king. We'll leave it at that.
663
00:30:28.950 --> 00:30:31.079
Meaning he's playing a king. And he'll be topless. It's
664
00:30:31.099 --> 00:30:34.460
very exciting. I think you're perfect for that part. The
665
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:34.859
topless king.
666
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:36.019
Call me the eyebrow king.
667
00:30:37.619 --> 00:30:39.579
I think you're more like a prince. I think you're
668
00:30:39.619 --> 00:30:43.750
more princely. And that's not that a prince is a
669
00:30:43.769 --> 00:30:46.190
bad thing. A prince is a good thing. They're usually
670
00:30:46.230 --> 00:30:48.309
like the younger, beautiful. Purple rain.
671
00:30:48.650 --> 00:30:49.650
Purple rain.
672
00:30:51.410 --> 00:30:55.160
But yeah, so that's next week. That we're going to
673
00:30:55.190 --> 00:30:55.579
be on.
674
00:30:55.490 --> 00:30:56.279
The movie set.
675
00:30:56.339 --> 00:30:58.720
Already. Or a pilot.
676
00:30:58.880 --> 00:30:59.240
I don't know.
677
00:30:59.259 --> 00:31:01.559
We're not sure exactly what it is. But it's something
678
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:03.180
that will be fun.
679
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:04.960
Is this you're talking about something we're not supposed to
680
00:31:04.980 --> 00:31:05.180
talk about?
681
00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:05.599
That's right.
682
00:31:05.880 --> 00:31:06.140
Okay.
683
00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:07.420
Then let's talk about something else.
684
00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:08.599
Let's talk about.
685
00:31:08.619 --> 00:31:09.119
Being very vague.
686
00:31:09.819 --> 00:31:12.400
Being very vague. But this weekend is going to be great.
687
00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:15.940
It's called John Schneider Weekend in Covington. Friday.
688
00:31:15.980 --> 00:31:16.940
And they want to do it every year.
689
00:31:17.299 --> 00:31:20.579
Friday is the concert.
690
00:31:20.619 --> 00:31:20.829
No.
691
00:31:20.869 --> 00:31:22.119
Friday is the meet and greet.
692
00:31:22.849 --> 00:31:27.890
Which is, meet and greet sounds fancy, but it's autographs
693
00:31:27.950 --> 00:31:30.670
and stuff in the square there in Covington.
694
00:31:31.410 --> 00:31:35.230
And then Saturday is, I think, more of that. And
695
00:31:35.289 --> 00:31:37.130
then there's Parsco.
696
00:31:37.309 --> 00:31:38.170
Yeah, I mean.
697
00:31:38.509 --> 00:31:40.130
I wonder if there'll be a General Lee there.
698
00:31:40.910 --> 00:31:42.490
That, I can guarantee you.
699
00:31:42.569 --> 00:31:44.869
In fact, probably more than one.
700
00:31:45.029 --> 00:31:46.369
Pretty darn sure.
701
00:31:46.549 --> 00:31:48.089
Yep, so that's going to be great. And then I
702
00:31:48.109 --> 00:31:51.029
do a concert there sometime Saturday night.
703
00:31:51.130 --> 00:31:52.650
Yep. It'll be fun.
704
00:31:52.690 --> 00:31:53.210
Which is great.
705
00:31:53.430 --> 00:31:56.970
It'll be fun. Because now that the election is over,
706
00:31:56.990 --> 00:31:58.369
I don't know what I'm going to talk about. I'm
707
00:31:58.390 --> 00:32:02.069
going to say, hi, here's a song. Hi, here's another song.
708
00:32:02.150 --> 00:32:05.559
Here's why it's not a travesty, this part, is because
709
00:32:05.619 --> 00:32:10.099
the last show John did, which was great, but it
710
00:32:10.140 --> 00:32:11.900
was two hours instead of an hour and a half.
711
00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:16.700
Guess why? Talking about politics for half an hour.
712
00:32:18.710 --> 00:32:20.990
So obviously it didn't work.
713
00:32:21.009 --> 00:32:22.930
Well, wait a minute. Where were we? Where was that concert?
714
00:32:23.509 --> 00:32:28.319
That was North Carolina. How'd we do in North Carolina?
715
00:32:28.410 --> 00:32:28.880
We did great.
716
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:29.380
Okay.
717
00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:32.660
No, I don't mean the concert. I mean, see if
718
00:32:32.700 --> 00:32:33.000
it worked.
719
00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:33.519
I don't know.
720
00:32:33.859 --> 00:32:37.019
I don't know. That's why we won't give up.
721
00:32:37.299 --> 00:32:38.240
Hell no.
722
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:42.170
Now, suddenly that song means something.
723
00:32:42.390 --> 00:32:43.809
It's all right.
724
00:32:43.829 --> 00:32:44.569
Freedom isn't free.
725
00:32:44.609 --> 00:32:47.460
It's up to you and me, brother, I believe. She's
726
00:32:47.509 --> 00:32:48.420
worth it.
727
00:32:48.940 --> 00:32:51.750
Yep. Still believe in everything. Still believe in all of that.
728
00:32:52.450 --> 00:32:56.690
Still believe that we were outplayed. I don't think we were.
729
00:32:57.190 --> 00:32:59.369
Certainly they don't love our country more than we do.
730
00:33:00.109 --> 00:33:02.410
Maybe they just love it differently. Like I said, maybe
731
00:33:02.470 --> 00:33:04.230
I'm just old. Maybe I'm old.
732
00:33:04.349 --> 00:33:08.230
I think the young people were indoctrinated because of it.
733
00:33:08.390 --> 00:33:11.170
Obama did it. I mean, look, he just did it.
734
00:33:11.309 --> 00:33:15.660
It's a success to him. Because they started in the schools,
735
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:19.059
they moved it along, and John was right when he said, well,
736
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:22.599
for the Republican side, we've lost a generation. Yeah. They
737
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:28.019
absolutely think socialism's okay. Like, they don't dive deep into it.
738
00:33:28.019 --> 00:33:32.740
I mean, everybody's on their phones. They don't have, you know, hand-in-hand...
739
00:33:32.769 --> 00:33:33.750
They don't have time.
740
00:33:34.390 --> 00:33:39.519
They don't take the time to research anything. And, you know, honestly, I.
741
00:33:41.339 --> 00:33:44.400
I probably wouldn't either if we weren't doing this or
742
00:33:44.460 --> 00:33:46.480
if I wasn't talking to people from a stage.
743
00:33:46.500 --> 00:33:51.440
But socialism even sounds good. I mean, I took sociology
744
00:33:51.460 --> 00:33:53.829
in college, and it's like, okay, this is like how
745
00:33:53.869 --> 00:33:58.029
people are, whatever. So even the name sounds good, but
746
00:33:58.069 --> 00:33:58.730
it's terrible.
747
00:33:58.849 --> 00:34:01.730
I grew up in the 60s, and I tell you what,
748
00:34:01.849 --> 00:34:05.349
the hippie communes, that was communism.
749
00:34:06.190 --> 00:34:09.030
And it sounds great. Communes, what's a commune?
750
00:34:09.889 --> 00:34:10.110
Right.
751
00:34:10.389 --> 00:34:11.210
Unless I'm wrong.
752
00:34:11.230 --> 00:34:12.269
Oh, my God.
753
00:34:12.389 --> 00:34:13.010
It's terrible.
754
00:34:13.409 --> 00:34:14.050
But you're right.
755
00:34:14.139 --> 00:34:18.300
Yes. And it sounded great. And it looks great on
756
00:34:18.340 --> 00:34:23.960
the poster. But eventually, you know, I'm from the I'm
757
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:26.019
from that time. But I heard from my dad and
758
00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:28.519
from my grandparents, I guess there's no such thing as
759
00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:29.139
a free lunch.
760
00:34:29.780 --> 00:34:33.539
So I never expect a free lunch. Uh, so we
761
00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:34.280
now have.
762
00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:36.050
We always worked since we were kids. I mean, like,
763
00:34:36.190 --> 00:34:39.030
I started gathering eggs. I mean, that's a terrible job.
764
00:34:39.510 --> 00:34:41.820
So I detasseled corn because I lived in.
765
00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:42.380
A rural area.
766
00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:43.139
Chicken ever bite you?
767
00:34:43.980 --> 00:34:45.380
Almost. They can be mean.
768
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:46.079
They don't like that.
769
00:34:46.179 --> 00:34:47.719
They don't like it if you take the right.
770
00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:49.619
Look, I did all that and you're trying to take
771
00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:49.860
it from me.
772
00:34:49.860 -->
00:34:52.679
And a terrible job. And detasseling corn, same thing. You
773
00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:54.239
have to go down the road. And, you know, and
774
00:34:54.260 --> 00:34:56.760
I'm not complaining about it. I did it because that's
775
00:34:56.800 --> 00:34:59.480
what you do. But you worked very young as well.
776
00:34:59.500 --> 00:35:00.469
Oh, yeah.
777
00:35:00.550 --> 00:35:03.070
I did magic shows. Yeah, yeah.
778
00:35:03.090 --> 00:35:05.889
I mean, I don't want that being anything given for
779
00:35:05.929 --> 00:35:06.329
no reason.
780
00:35:06.349 --> 00:35:07.590
And maybe, maybe I am.
781
00:35:09.730 --> 00:35:12.630
Again, the old guy sitting on the fence saying that
782
00:35:12.710 --> 00:35:16.550
that is at the foundation that what young people bit
783
00:35:16.849 --> 00:35:18.570
on was free stuff.
784
00:35:18.769 --> 00:35:20.130
Let us take care of you.
785
00:35:20.250 --> 00:35:22.469
Maybe I'm wrong about that, too. I don't think so.
786
00:35:22.550 --> 00:35:25.469
Because I have a lot of young people in my
787
00:35:25.530 --> 00:35:28.190
life these days that feel they're entitled to things they
788
00:35:28.210 --> 00:35:28.969
never worked for.
789
00:35:29.769 --> 00:35:31.860
And I just don't understand.
790
00:35:31.340 --> 00:35:36.039
That in anybody's front yard, backyard or porch. I don't
791
00:35:36.300 --> 00:35:40.349
get it because the math doesn't work out. If stuff
792
00:35:40.429 --> 00:35:43.530
is free, somebody has... The only stuff that is free
793
00:35:44.150 --> 00:35:45.929
is stuff that they couldn't sell at Walmart.
794
00:35:45.949 --> 00:35:46.670
But they don't care.
795
00:35:46.730 --> 00:35:49.409
And they carry it over to Goodwill. And actually, it's
796
00:35:49.429 --> 00:35:50.190
not even free then.
797
00:35:50.510 --> 00:35:52.210
I think they feel like they're getting away with it.
798
00:35:52.230 --> 00:35:54.690
It's like, ha, ha, ha, we're getting away with this.
799
00:35:54.730 --> 00:35:57.010
We're getting our free stuff. And they think that's a victory,
800
00:35:57.050 --> 00:36:01.429
which is horrible. I believe that's what they think. That's
801
00:36:01.469 --> 00:36:02.110
their mindset.
802
00:36:02.139 --> 00:36:06.639
Well, eventually, when all of the current people who are
803
00:36:06.699 --> 00:36:08.219
paying for the free stuff.
804
00:36:09.539 --> 00:36:09.860
two of.
805
00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:15.480
Which we are, when we die off, who's going to
806
00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:16.429
pay for the free stuff?
807
00:36:16.469 --> 00:36:17.219
It's going to get bad.
808
00:36:17.260 --> 00:36:24.190
Eventually, the people who voted for Democrat socialism yesterday, who
809
00:36:24.429 --> 00:36:27.090
were 18 and.
810
00:36:26.969 --> 00:36:29.929
A week, are going to say, well, wait a minute.
811
00:36:30.010 --> 00:36:31.510
I worked my ass off for this stuff.
812
00:36:31.550 --> 00:36:32.030
Why should I?
813
00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:35.780
They're going to get it 30.
814
00:36:34.460 --> 00:36:37.039
Years from now, and it's going to be way too late.
815
00:36:37.699 --> 00:36:38.400
Way too late.
816
00:36:39.809 --> 00:36:43.820
Like the Democrats that are leaving California. And even I
817
00:36:45.019 --> 00:36:48.199
think Robert De Niro was complaining about New York. And
818
00:36:48.219 --> 00:36:51.159
I'm like, did you people understand that they don't read,
819
00:36:51.179 --> 00:36:53.800
they don't study, they don't do anything. I have to
820
00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:56.159
tell you, you know, we went to the Hanover homecoming.
821
00:36:56.179 --> 00:36:57.110
That was great.
822
00:36:57.789 --> 00:37:01.650
Yeah. Yeah. It was amazing. But it made me realize
823
00:37:01.670 --> 00:37:07.050
that even though Hanover was super duper hard, super duper expensive, like,
824
00:37:08.070 --> 00:37:11.570
and it just super education i got a super education
825
00:37:11.590 --> 00:37:14.530
and i have a history degree so i know history
826
00:37:14.610 --> 00:37:17.380
meaning like people read.
827
00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:21.460
Your history because this never works it never works and
828
00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:23.800
and you know what they do they're on their phone
829
00:37:24.300 --> 00:37:28.849
all they're doing is instagramming not everybody Because, you know,
830
00:37:28.889 --> 00:37:29.769
we've been, we've seen.
831
00:37:30.190 --> 00:37:30.969
It's everybody.
832
00:37:31.190 --> 00:37:31.849
No, no, no.
833
00:37:31.889 --> 00:37:32.869
But at Hanover.
834
00:37:32.929 --> 00:37:34.550
Well, not at Hanover. You're right.
835
00:37:34.809 --> 00:37:39.530
Those students, especially my sorority sisters, were so impressive. They
836
00:37:39.550 --> 00:37:42.090
were so polite. And they were all lovely, right? I mean,
837
00:37:42.170 --> 00:37:42.849
really lovely.
838
00:37:42.869 --> 00:37:43.170
Yeah.
839
00:37:43.429 --> 00:37:44.469
But five years always were.
840
00:37:44.809 --> 00:37:48.219
Yes, sir. Yes, ma'am. No, ma'am. You're smart.
841
00:37:48.239 --> 00:37:50.119
Pretty or both. I was a smart one.
842
00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:51.780
You're pretty.
843
00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:56.739
I have moments. I've got to get hats on. But anyway,
844
00:37:57.659 --> 00:37:59.900
I think the young people, I think being on the
845
00:37:59.920 --> 00:38:02.639
phone all the time and not being able to maybe
846
00:38:02.659 --> 00:38:03.429
really develop.
847
00:38:04.650 --> 00:38:07.909
It's different. Well, we read or we listened because, you know,
848
00:38:07.949 --> 00:38:09.690
we drive so much. We listened to a book the
849
00:38:09.730 --> 00:38:13.429
other day, and it was talking about the lack.
850
00:38:13.469 --> 00:38:20.579
Of, what was it called? Not unscheduled, something play.
851
00:38:20.619 --> 00:38:21.940
I think kind of unaware.
852
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:25.239
Well, no, they said that one of the most important
853
00:38:25.280 -->
00:38:30.639
things to develop a child's mind, a child's perception of
854
00:38:30.739 --> 00:38:35.500
what life in the world is, is play with other kids.
855
00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:41.420
So it was, it's not unscheduled, it's unsomething, it's not
856
00:38:41.460 --> 00:38:44.610
even undisciplined. But it's, no, no, no, it was just
857
00:38:44.659 --> 00:38:46.469
let them do what they want to do. You know,
858
00:38:46.489 --> 00:38:48.449
don't come in and say, okay, Bobby and Sally are
859
00:38:48.469 --> 00:38:50.630
going to do this, this, and this. No, just put
860
00:38:50.650 --> 00:38:54.190
them in like they do across from Mad Love. where
861
00:38:54.210 --> 00:38:56.579
the little, little, little crazy ones are like, ah!
862
00:38:57.090 --> 00:38:57.510
It's great.
863
00:38:57.530 --> 00:39:00.010
Yeah, and they're playing around, and they go over there,
864
00:39:00.150 --> 00:39:02.909
and they're beating the crap out of each other. And
865
00:39:02.949 --> 00:39:06.570
they're like throwing balls, dodge balls, and they're hugging, and
866
00:39:06.590 --> 00:39:09.309
they're climbing, and they're doing what you're supposed to do
867
00:39:09.369 --> 00:39:09.949
as a kiddo.
868
00:39:10.289 --> 00:39:10.570
Yeah.
869
00:39:11.449 --> 00:39:13.650
So that's very important.
870
00:39:14.250 --> 00:39:18.880
But now, I think they said the average age, first
871
00:39:18.920 --> 00:39:23.579
time a human being gets a phone is like nine.
872
00:39:24.409 --> 00:39:25.530
I would not allow that.
873
00:39:25.590 --> 00:39:31.219
Yeah, so it's, so they, they've lost it. they haven't
874
00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:31.800
even lost.
875
00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:36.860
Well, they've never been introduced to it. Right. Which is
876
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:42.489
the real rub is not that, that, uh, uh, as
877
00:39:42.590 --> 00:39:46.170
an 18 year old, a 19 year old today has
878
00:39:46.210 --> 00:39:48.510
been trained out of social interaction.
879
00:39:48.730 --> 00:39:49.489
They've never known it.
880
00:39:50.010 --> 00:39:50.469
That's right.
881
00:39:50.510 --> 00:39:50.949
You're right.
882
00:39:51.789 --> 00:39:56.030
So how are they going to know that there's anything
883
00:39:56.989 --> 00:40:00.659
damaging to them with that? I mean, are people going
884
00:40:00.739 --> 00:40:03.960
to talk to their kids in the same room by
885
00:40:04.179 --> 00:40:05.940
FaceTime rather than looking at them?
886
00:40:05.980 --> 00:40:09.059
If they're across the room, they'll send a text.
887
00:40:09.099 --> 00:40:10.719
And parents are guilty of that, too.
888
00:40:10.820 --> 00:40:14.579
Parents do it. And I don't know.
889
00:40:14.619 --> 00:40:17.510
We've gone down a. We've gone down a.
890
00:40:17.550 --> 00:40:25.099
Bad road here, I think, with regard to basic human interaction.
891
00:40:26.619 --> 00:40:29.800
We have every piece of information that's ever been written,
892
00:40:30.389 --> 00:40:33.949
ever been printed on a piece of paper or typed
893
00:40:34.030 --> 00:40:37.650
on something on our phone in our pocket, every song
894
00:40:37.730 --> 00:40:44.400
ever recorded, and we are communicating less and less with
895
00:40:44.500 --> 00:40:45.000
one another.
896
00:40:45.019 --> 00:40:47.500
This is their world. I mean, we're on the phone, too,
897
00:40:47.539 --> 00:40:48.860
but we do have that.
898
00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:52.980
Well, we have our excuse just like anybody else. Well,
899
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:54.119
but we.
900
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:57.800
Experience real life. You know, John and I always laugh
901
00:40:57.860 --> 00:41:00.869
about this, where our parents are like, go outside, don't
902
00:41:00.909 --> 00:41:03.429
come back. I didn't even know where we were. Go outside,
903
00:41:03.510 --> 00:41:05.829
go play. Do not come back in this house. Do
904
00:41:05.889 --> 00:41:08.010
not sit in front of the TV and watch TV
905
00:41:08.070 --> 00:41:10.840
all day. Go outside. Don't come back until.
906
00:41:10.860 --> 00:41:13.630
The street light comes on.
907
00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:17.199
And my folks, my dad called it the boob tube.
908
00:41:17.239 --> 00:41:19.260
Did they call it the boob tube? You're in front
909
00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:21.260
of that damn boob tube all the time. Which we
910
00:41:21.320 --> 00:41:24.579
didn't do because when I was a kid, what was
911
00:41:24.659 --> 00:41:28.119
on television was what, you know, my parents were divorced,
912
00:41:28.139 --> 00:41:30.130
but if I was with my dad, what was on television,
913
00:41:31.030 --> 00:41:33.550
which was seldom, you know, it might've been probably football.
914
00:41:35.989 --> 00:41:39.420
We had to watch what he wanted to watch. At home....
915
00:41:40.260 --> 00:41:42.280
Mom and I had about the same, you know, we
916
00:41:42.300 --> 00:41:44.659
watched I Dream of Jeannie, we watched Hee Haw, and
917
00:41:44.699 --> 00:41:46.280
you just posted me on Hee Haw.
918
00:41:46.300 --> 00:41:46.699
That's right.
919
00:41:46.719 --> 00:41:47.079
Pretty great.
920
00:41:47.099 --> 00:41:47.519
People love that.
921
00:41:47.539 --> 00:41:48.340
In the cornfield.
922
00:41:48.360 --> 00:41:48.940
People love that.
923
00:41:48.960 --> 00:41:49.300
In the cornfield.
924
00:41:49.320 --> 00:41:51.340
And you were surrounded by all these beautiful blondes.
925
00:41:51.409 --> 00:41:54.130
It was a hard day. It was a hard day.
926
00:41:54.429 --> 00:41:55.050
I could tell.
927
00:41:55.230 --> 00:41:58.949
I could tell you were not enjoying that.
928
00:41:59.090 --> 00:42:03.329
Yeah, yeah.
929
00:42:03.809 --> 00:42:06.570
I grew up watching Hee Haw, so me, I was
930
00:42:06.610 --> 00:42:07.050
probably 23, 24 when.
931
00:42:09.530 --> 00:42:13.630
When that happened, and I could not believe that I
932
00:42:13.710 --> 00:42:17.530
was in the cornfield with the Hee Haw girls. It
933
00:42:17.570 --> 00:42:22.389
was pretty amazing.
And doing the show with Roy Clark
934
00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:26.280
and with Buck Owens, Grandpa. Now, I never did the
935
00:42:26.300 --> 00:42:28.420
show with Junior Samples. He was gone by the time
936
00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:32.380
I got there. But met Minnie Pearl many times. She
937
00:42:32.420 --> 00:42:35.650
was amazing. Very, she was like....
938
00:42:37.110 --> 00:42:37.929
She was a hat girl.
939
00:42:37.949 --> 00:42:38.730
With a tag on it.
940
00:42:39.090 --> 00:42:39.309
Mm-hmm.
941
00:42:40.289 --> 00:42:41.949
But she was also country on the show.
942
00:42:41.989 --> 00:42:44.969
But no, she was like a, I don't, she was
943
00:42:44.989 --> 00:42:46.860
like a college professor when you spoke to her.
944
00:42:46.869 --> 00:42:47.130
Oh, really?
945
00:42:47.150 --> 00:42:49.710
She was like, well, hi, how are you? Yes, well,
946
00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:53.420
just a moment. Hey, how y'all are? Yeah, she was,
947
00:42:53.820 --> 00:42:55.039
she was, what was her name?
948
00:42:55.059 --> 00:42:58.739
It wasn't Minnie Pearl. Gosh darn it. Oh, you know what?
949
00:42:58.760 --> 00:43:01.659
Somebody on there, tell us her name. She was a wonderful,
950
00:43:01.719 --> 00:43:02.300
wonderful woman.
951
00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:04.039
I don't know what made me think of this, but Barbara.
952
00:43:04.059 --> 00:43:06.500
She might have actually been a college professor. I'm sorry, Betty.
953
00:43:06.559 --> 00:43:08.480
But Barbara Mandrake. No, I interrupted.
954
00:43:08.500 --> 00:43:10.539
I love you. I'm sorry.
955
00:43:13.860 --> 00:43:14.599
The cricket again.
956
00:43:14.739 --> 00:43:15.739
We got to watch that show again.
957
00:43:16.699 --> 00:43:18.170
Oh, Wild Wild West. We love it.
958
00:43:18.539 --> 00:43:22.699
Because we're not watching the midterm outcomes anymore.
959
00:43:23.389 --> 00:43:23.570
No.
960
00:43:23.590 --> 00:43:26.090
Let's go back into the one. You know, that's what's
961
00:43:26.110 --> 00:43:26.849
going to happen.
962
00:43:27.630 --> 00:43:31.150
Maybe what's going to happen is now Republicans everywhere are
963
00:43:31.190 --> 00:43:36.550
going to really need their grilled cheese and mashed potatoes,
964
00:43:37.349 --> 00:43:40.519
which is Dukes of Hazzard. And Smallville.
965
00:43:41.019 --> 00:43:43.659
No, I think so. I think people are going to
966
00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:46.940
yearn for that. Like, you know, we need nostalgia, like
967
00:43:46.980 --> 00:43:50.320
you said. We need just Dukes of Hazzard.
968
00:43:50.340 --> 00:43:51.119
Yep.
969
00:43:52.300 --> 00:43:54.550
You know, and people already love it. I mean, anywhere
970
00:43:54.610 --> 00:43:58.550
John goes, the line is huge. So people really were
971
00:43:58.730 --> 00:44:03.030
really before this election realizing that they, what's wrong, honey?
972
00:44:03.750 --> 00:44:04.929
I thought I saw, oh, it's ice.
973
00:44:05.309 --> 00:44:06.170
Oh, it's back.
974
00:44:06.570 --> 00:44:10.250
It's
weird. It looks like a bug. It might be
975
00:44:10.269 --> 00:44:10.590
a bug.
976
00:44:11.050 --> 00:44:12.250
You think it's protein?
977
00:44:13.809 --> 00:44:16.469
Do you like protein on that salad? Sure.
978
00:44:16.489 --> 00:44:19.750
Give me a couple of flies. What were you saying?
979
00:44:21.349 --> 00:44:25.429
Oh, Farber Mandrell. So we found out that Barbara Mandrell,
980
00:44:25.489 --> 00:44:28.460
she is going to be honored, Kennedy Center honored.
981
00:44:28.480 --> 00:44:28.559
Yes.
982
00:44:29.340 --> 00:44:31.179
So I always liked her.
983
00:44:31.199 --> 00:44:33.420
Is it still the Trump Kennedy Center or is it
984
00:44:33.460 --> 00:44:34.320
Kennedy Center now?
985
00:44:34.380 --> 00:44:37.920
Trump Kennedy Center. So thank you for pointing that out.
986
00:44:38.659 --> 00:44:41.389
But I do think it's still called the Kennedy Center Honors.
987
00:44:41.710 --> 00:44:46.170
That's the shuttle. The building is Trump Kennedy Center.
988
00:44:46.190 --> 00:44:46.349
Right.
989
00:44:47.179 --> 00:44:48.719
So I've done that show before, but this is going
990
00:44:48.739 --> 00:44:50.599
to be great because... No, but.
991
00:44:50.519 --> 00:44:53.739
Before that even, with Dolly Parton and Barbara Mandrell and
992
00:44:53.760 --> 00:44:54.719
the Mandrell sisters.
993
00:44:54.739 --> 00:44:55.960
You did that show. I did.
994
00:44:56.139 --> 00:44:58.320
You were surrounded again by beautiful women.
995
00:44:59.280 --> 00:44:59.619
Happens.
996
00:45:00.820 --> 00:45:03.619
That was great fun. I felt like a giant.
997
00:45:03.909 --> 00:45:04.510
I was a giant.
998
00:45:04.530 --> 00:45:07.570
You were a giant. They were all little, little wee women.
999
00:45:07.590 --> 00:45:09.329
Beautiful wee women.
1000
00:45:09.650 --> 00:45:13.389
But Barbara is wonderful. She's fantastic. And she is going
1001
00:45:13.409 --> 00:45:16.090
to be honored at the Kennedy Center. And so we're
1002
00:45:16.110 --> 00:45:16.389
going to go.
1003
00:45:17.389 --> 00:45:17.969
Well, we'll see.
1004
00:45:18.409 --> 00:45:19.250
Find out what the date is.
1005
00:45:19.269 --> 00:45:21.550
Yeah, I mean, we haven't even gotten up for it yet.
1006
00:45:21.610 --> 00:45:23.030
But what a wonderful lady.
1007
00:45:23.050 --> 00:45:24.670
Yes, that's great. Love to go.
1008
00:45:24.730 --> 00:45:26.989
Love to maybe participate. When I did it before, it
1009
00:45:27.230 --> 00:45:27.730
was for.
1010
00:45:29.110 --> 00:45:29.309
Yes.
1011
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:33.280
And Julie Andrews and I sang. And I sang a
1012
00:45:33.340 --> 00:45:33.840
song with.
1013
00:45:34.900 --> 00:45:36.139
Scott Bakula.
1014
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:39.679
Scott Bakula. Yes, we did a thing with. It was great.
1015
00:45:39.900 --> 00:45:42.940
And you got sucker punched by a beautiful blonde as well.
1016
00:45:45.409 --> 00:45:46.030
Remind me.
1017
00:45:46.159 --> 00:45:48.400
I'm glad I remember everything. Kim Cattrall.
1018
00:45:48.860 --> 00:45:49.440
Oh, that's right.
1019
00:45:49.860 --> 00:45:51.300
Kim Smackney.
1020
00:45:51.320 --> 00:45:55.300
I love her. She's great. So, yeah, so here's John
1021
00:45:55.400 --> 00:46:00.000
at the Kennedy Center, and he's singing, and Scott Bagula's singing,
1022
00:46:00.059 --> 00:46:03.949
and Carol Burnett is clapping, and then Kim Cattrall comes
1023
00:46:03.969 --> 00:46:06.610
downstairs and gives John a sucker punch, and.
1024
00:46:06.550 --> 00:46:07.070
He loved it.
1025
00:46:07.530 --> 00:46:09.349
So that was really cool. But anyway, it made me
1026
00:46:09.409 --> 00:46:13.010
think of that and how wonderful Barbara Mandrell is, and
1027
00:46:13.070 --> 00:46:16.429
I do like it when Country singers do well.
1028
00:46:16.550 --> 00:46:19.269
I was country when country wasn't cool.
1029
00:46:19.369 --> 00:46:21.070
I mean, there have been a few. There have not
1030
00:46:21.090 --> 00:46:21.650
been that many.
1031
00:46:21.690 --> 00:46:24.269
You can eat crackers in my bed anytime.
1032
00:46:24.289 --> 00:46:28.420
Sleeping single in a double bed. Thinking of all the
1033
00:46:28.440 --> 00:46:29.960
things I wish I'd said.
1034
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:33.860
That's all I know. Anyway, so Barbara, love you Barbara.
1035
00:46:33.880 --> 00:46:39.289
Early in the week. The sisters, they're great. They're so
1036
00:46:39.329 --> 00:46:39.650
much fun.
1037
00:46:40.030 --> 00:46:41.150
They're really, really great.
1038
00:46:41.230 --> 00:46:43.789
When I was loved is they played all these instruments.
1039
00:46:43.809 --> 00:46:44.929
I thought that was so cool.
1040
00:46:45.909 --> 00:46:46.289
Oh yeah.
1041
00:46:47.530 --> 00:46:52.719
They all played like the, they came from the era
1042
00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:56.780
where like the, uh, the Jackson five Jackson five didn't
1043
00:46:56.840 --> 00:46:59.400
do the instruments that much, but the Osmonds.
1044
00:46:59.059 --> 00:47:01.519
Did the, Oh yeah.
1045
00:47:01.960 --> 00:47:06.639
They would switch. They're amazing. Amazing. Amazing. But, uh, Yeah,
1046
00:47:06.860 --> 00:47:10.300
the Mandrell sisters are great. Barbara is wonderful. And I've
1047
00:47:10.340 --> 00:47:14.199
not seen Barbara in a long, long time. So hopefully
1048
00:47:14.219 --> 00:47:16.619
we'll get to go. And I'll get to congratulate her
1049
00:47:16.800 --> 00:47:20.789
on her Kennedy Center Honors Award. Which is really cool.
1050
00:47:21.050 --> 00:47:23.349
Yeah. And John and I went to the Kennedy Center
1051
00:47:23.389 --> 00:47:27.369
this last year. And it's kind of falling apart.
1052
00:47:28.159 --> 00:47:30.079
It's a big building. It needs help.
1053
00:47:30.179 --> 00:47:33.400
It needs a little love. But, you know, we're there
1054
00:47:33.480 --> 00:47:37.539
for Ben Carson's show when John was featured in it. But,
1055
00:47:37.579 --> 00:47:39.820
you know, I love the Kennedy Center, and it needs
1056
00:47:39.880 --> 00:47:42.460
to
be the Trump Kennedy Center.
1057
00:47:42.760 --> 00:47:48.159
And by the way, I heard somebody, I can't remember
1058
00:47:48.199 --> 00:47:52.170
who it was, but somebody in their victory speech blasted
1059
00:47:52.230 --> 00:47:52.909
the ballroom.
1060
00:47:54.010 --> 00:47:54.969
So here's the thing.
1061
00:47:55.570 --> 00:47:55.769
Really?
1062
00:47:55.789 --> 00:48:00.139
Really? You are going to, if you are lucky enough.
1063
00:47:59.949 --> 00:48:03.489
To be invited to some presidential thing, you are going
1064
00:48:03.550 --> 00:48:06.829
to be in that ballroom and you're going to be
1065
00:48:06.909 --> 00:48:08.909
damn glad that you're safe.
1066
00:48:08.929 --> 00:48:09.750
Because you're safe.
1067
00:48:09.909 --> 00:48:14.320
And you're elegant and you are being treated like royalty.
1068
00:48:14.980 --> 00:48:18.559
So this ballroom, Trump, President Trump did not build, is
1069
00:48:18.599 --> 00:48:22.920
not building this ballroom for him. He's building it for you.
1070
00:48:22.940 --> 00:48:25.619
He'll only be there like a couple weeks after it's done.
1071
00:48:25.719 --> 00:48:26.920
I mean, so it's not for him.
1072
00:48:26.960 --> 00:48:27.699
For God's sake.
1073
00:48:27.719 --> 00:48:31.000
It's for future presidents and it's for future dignitaries so
1074
00:48:31.019 --> 00:48:32.480
they can be safe. Yeah.
1075
00:48:32.739 --> 00:48:35.630
So stop it. Just stop it.
1076
00:48:35.940 --> 00:48:36.619
It's ridiculous.
1077
00:48:36.960 --> 00:48:38.179
Okay. Thank you.
1078
00:48:38.639 --> 00:48:39.019
There you go.
1079
00:48:40.329 --> 00:48:41.489
Okay, then what else?
1080
00:48:41.550 --> 00:48:43.130
Well, when we were in North Carolina, I want to
1081
00:48:43.150 --> 00:48:47.059
mention this, that we're very good friends with Mike Wallace
1082
00:48:47.159 --> 00:48:51.460
and Lindsey and Thomas.
1083
00:48:51.559 --> 00:48:53.280
Thomas the older and Thomas the younger.
1084
00:48:53.400 --> 00:48:55.480
We've been trying to get as much golf in before
1085
00:48:55.519 --> 00:48:57.280
the weather, because today the weather kind of.
1086
00:48:57.389 --> 00:48:58.989
It just changed. We played yesterday.
1087
00:48:59.010 --> 00:49:01.909
We played Sunrise until Sunset last night.
1088
00:49:01.929 --> 00:49:05.989
Sunrise, Sunset, Sunrise, Sunset.
1089
00:49:06.949 --> 00:49:08.469
Swiftly fly the years.
1090
00:49:08.489 --> 00:49:09.519
Was that your song?
1091
00:49:09.579 --> 00:49:14.630
One season following another. Laid in with happiness and tears.
1092
00:49:14.630 --> 00:49:17.320
The sheet music to that song, oddly enough, is right
1093
00:49:17.320 --> 00:49:18.510
over there somewhere.
1094
00:49:18.510 --> 00:49:18.840
I know.
1095
00:49:18.840 --> 00:49:18.909
It.
1096
00:49:18.909 --> 00:49:19.440
Just moved it.
1097
00:49:20.079 --> 00:49:20.739
Do you know, I.
1098
00:49:20.780 --> 00:49:24.239
From Fiddler on the Roof. I played Tevye. Before.
1099
00:49:24.280 --> 00:49:24.940
Fiddler on the Roof.
1100
00:49:24.980 --> 00:49:28.019
Before the John Schneider world, you know, I would sing,
1101
00:49:28.039 --> 00:49:30.139
and that was one of the songs I would sing.
1102
00:49:30.159 --> 00:49:32.199
Was there ever before the John Schneider world?
1103
00:49:32.219 --> 00:49:34.179
I don't remember it. Ah!
1104
00:49:34.380 --> 00:49:35.639
Well... You sang that?
1105
00:49:35.679 --> 00:49:36.599
You know what you'd be good at?
1106
00:49:36.719 --> 00:49:37.619
Sunrise!
1107
00:49:37.659 --> 00:49:38.619
Do you love me?
1108
00:49:39.500 --> 00:49:40.239
Do I what?
1109
00:49:40.940 --> 00:49:41.239
Really?
1110
00:49:41.260 --> 00:49:42.719
Do you love me?
1111
00:49:42.760 --> 00:49:43.659
Do I love you?
1112
00:49:43.780 --> 00:49:45.159
It's a great song.
1113
00:49:45.260 --> 00:49:46.559
I mean, the.
1114
00:49:47.500 --> 00:49:50.179
Comedic stuff is good. I am pretty good at that.
1115
00:49:50.340 --> 00:49:53.079
But not anymore, because I'm the John Schneider world. I
1116
00:49:53.119 --> 00:49:55.920
want you to do your stand-up show. Well, maybe one
1117
00:49:55.960 --> 00:49:56.460
day again.
1118
00:49:56.480 --> 00:49:57.239
County Fair.
1119
00:49:57.519 --> 00:49:58.079
County Fair.
1120
00:49:58.119 --> 00:49:59.260
County Fair.
1121
00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:01.110
Why don't you do your stand-up show?
1122
00:50:01.190 --> 00:50:03.110
Because I'm doing my midterm stuff.
1123
00:50:03.730 --> 00:50:04.769
John is doing so well.
1124
00:50:04.789 --> 00:50:08.170
Well, right now, I've got no midterms to run for.
1125
00:50:08.710 --> 00:50:11.460
You've got a million things going on. Don't even try it.
1126
00:50:12.130 --> 00:50:15.809
John is so successful right now. He's so popular. We
1127
00:50:15.849 --> 00:50:19.150
turn down nine out of ten things. But we are
1128
00:50:19.210 --> 00:50:21.530
doing a movie or a pilot, which we can't get into,
1129
00:50:21.610 --> 00:50:27.219
other than Topless King. And before that, we'll be in Covington.
1130
00:50:27.619 --> 00:50:29.800
And then they want us to go to a racetrack somewhere.
1131
00:50:31.400 --> 00:50:32.480
I think that's tonight.
1132
00:50:34.420 --> 00:50:36.920
Last night. We've been so.
1133
00:50:38.449 --> 00:50:42.750
Is this the little boy at play? I don't remember
1134
00:50:42.769 --> 00:50:43.190
growing older.
1135
00:50:43.230 --> 00:50:44.730
When did she get.
1136
00:50:44.389 --> 00:50:45.860
To be a beauty? When did he grow to be
1137
00:50:45.880 --> 00:50:46.159
so tall?
1138
00:51:04.619 --> 00:51:10.699
Wasn't it yesterday that they were so small?
1139
00:51:11.039 --> 00:51:12.179
What a beautiful show.
1140
00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:20.679
You know, you don't know this. Sunset. Swiftly by the years.
1141
00:51:22.420 --> 00:51:24.599
One season following another.
1142
00:51:24.659 --> 00:51:25.920
Made him with happiness and tears.
1143
00:51:27.099 --> 00:51:30.480
Where's that music? Gosh darn it. The
gentleman that wrote
1144
00:51:30.539 --> 00:51:37.570
that music, when I was... In eighth grade, I played
1145
00:51:37.630 --> 00:51:43.949
Tevye at Fox Lane Middle School. And he was.
1146
00:51:43.869 --> 00:51:45.710
There because he had a child.
1147
00:51:45.849 --> 00:51:50.599
That's so cool. He was there. And the sheet music,
1148
00:51:50.619 --> 00:51:54.420
but he was so, because I was 13 and I
1149
00:51:54.460 --> 00:51:57.739
tell you, I tell you, I sounded exactly like I
1150
00:51:57.780 --> 00:52:00.719
sound now at 13 years old when I wanted to,
1151
00:52:01.480 --> 00:52:02.059
when I wanted to.
1152
00:52:02.710 --> 00:52:04.590
So when you were a big kid then.
1153
00:52:05.110 --> 00:52:07.250
And I was at.
1154
00:52:08.889 --> 00:52:11.469
Six, well at 14, I was the same height I
1155
00:52:11.570 --> 00:52:11.949
am now.
1156
00:52:12.199 --> 00:52:12.929
That's crazy.
1157
00:52:13.139 --> 00:52:15.039
Yeah. So when I see little kids.
1158
00:52:15.059 --> 00:52:17.320
That happens in Indiana too.
1159
00:52:17.360 --> 00:52:21.159
We met a young fellow at one of the rallies
1160
00:52:22.059 --> 00:52:24.670
and he was like, Look at me in the eye.
1161
00:52:24.690 --> 00:52:25.710
He's 12 years old.
1162
00:52:26.409 --> 00:52:27.030
So, yeah.
1163
00:52:27.070 --> 00:52:28.489
So, but I was that kid.
1164
00:52:28.550 --> 00:52:30.869
You know why? Because everybody eats a bunch of beef,
1165
00:52:30.909 --> 00:52:33.690
a bunch of corn, a bunch of potatoes, and they
1166
00:52:33.730 --> 00:52:36.329
work hard. And I'm telling you, I will never forget.
1167
00:52:36.369 --> 00:52:37.550
Farm raised.
1168
00:52:37.909 --> 00:52:42.239
In Indiana. We would, you know, go to summer break.
1169
00:52:42.260 --> 00:52:42.679
Eight minutes.
1170
00:52:42.719 --> 00:52:45.059
And come back, and the kid that was, like, to
1171
00:52:45.099 --> 00:52:48.460
here to me, way tall. I mean, they would grow
1172
00:52:48.480 --> 00:52:51.000
over the summer like that. Yeah. So, what happened to you?
1173
00:52:51.019 --> 00:52:51.300
Yeah.
1174
00:52:53.460 --> 00:52:56.519
But that's how it goes. But you weren't super tall early.
1175
00:52:56.539 --> 00:53:01.000
And I was heavy. I was very, I was, I was, uh,
1176
00:53:01.000 --> 00:53:05.210
240 pounds when I was 14 years old, when I was, yeah, 14,
1177
00:53:05.210 --> 00:53:07.760
15 years old. So I played Tevye and Fiddler on
1178
00:53:07.780 --> 00:53:10.920
the Roof at, in middle school at Fox lane in
1179
00:53:11.280 --> 00:53:15.360
Westchester County, New York, where oddly enough, the voting machines.
1180
00:53:15.820 --> 00:53:17.989
Broke down early on.
1181
00:53:18.639 --> 00:53:23.699
And then, um, moved to Atlanta with my mom, just
1182
00:53:23.760 --> 00:53:27.119
outside of Atlanta, went to North Springs High School in
1183
00:53:27.260 --> 00:53:28.480
Fulton County, Georgia.
1184
00:53:29.159 --> 00:53:32.710
And guess what the show was that year? Fiddler on
1185
00:53:32.730 --> 00:53:34.449
the Roof. And I was in.
1186
00:53:34.429 --> 00:53:38.610
Ninth grade and I was awarded the role of Tevye
1187
00:53:39.130 --> 00:53:41.090
in what was really the senior play.
1188
00:53:41.110 --> 00:53:42.230
Oh, wow.
1189
00:53:42.909 --> 00:53:49.139
But I was, and thank you, Tom King, for casting
1190
00:53:49.179 --> 00:53:51.260
me in that role, because he said, no, John is
1191
00:53:51.280 --> 00:53:53.800
the guy he should, because I mean, I knew it,
1192
00:53:54.039 --> 00:53:58.039
because I'd just done it. And so it was really great.
1193
00:53:58.079 --> 00:54:01.340
That changed my life. So Tom King, Victor Hansard, all
1194
00:54:01.360 --> 00:54:02.400
my teachers back then.
1195
00:54:02.420 --> 00:54:04.860
And they got you through school and into Dukes and Hazzard,
1196
00:54:04.940 --> 00:54:10.139
because you can act early, right? You graduated early because
1197
00:54:10.179 --> 00:54:10.860
of this gentleman.
1198
00:54:12.039 --> 00:54:13.199
What, because of Victor Hansard?
1199
00:54:13.219 --> 00:54:16.380
Yeah, because I went to summer school two years in
1200
00:54:16.400 --> 00:54:18.280
a row, because he said, I said, look, I want
1201
00:54:18.300 --> 00:54:20.940
to figure out how to get out of high school earlier,
1202
00:54:21.219 --> 00:54:23.960
and he said, he said, I agree with you, because,
1203
00:54:23.980 --> 00:54:26.389
you know, I was, I had done a movie for Disney,
1204
00:54:26.469 --> 00:54:30.389
I had done some, what do they call them, industrial
1205
00:54:30.449 --> 00:54:33.170
films in Atlanta, some commercials, I was working at the
1206
00:54:33.210 --> 00:54:35.969
Academy Theater, I'd worked at Onstage in Atlanta, so I
1207
00:54:36.030 --> 00:54:40.710
was ravenous, still am, ravenous about theater, ravenous about.
1208
00:54:40.550 --> 00:54:43.769
Doing it, doing, doing, I'm just getting started, that's true.
1209
00:54:44.300 --> 00:54:47.289
But He said, look, if you, he said, I've looked
1210
00:54:47.329 --> 00:54:49.130
at it. If you go to summer school two years
1211
00:54:49.190 --> 00:54:51.329
in a row. So I had this conversation with him
1212
00:54:53.260 --> 00:54:56.699
coming into 10th grade. So if you go to summer
1213
00:54:56.719 --> 00:55:00.219
school two years, that's amazing. You can, you can get
1214
00:55:00.260 --> 00:55:06.690
those classes. And then we, you don't have to come
1215
00:55:06.769 --> 00:55:10.070
for your, for your, you can graduate in your junior year, basically.
1216
00:55:11.369 --> 00:55:13.110
And then that was great. That was the plan.
1217
00:55:13.130 --> 00:55:14.670
I went to summer school the first year, went to,
1218
00:55:15.010 --> 00:55:20.250
And then I got an opportunity to do the Academy
1219
00:55:20.309 --> 00:55:23.969
Children's Theater, where we would write a show and then
1220
00:55:24.389 --> 00:55:29.599
bring it, a musical, to different schools. So I was
1221
00:55:29.900
--> 00:55:35.739
now 16 or 17, and I went to Victor Hansard again.
1222
00:55:35.800 --> 00:55:37.320
I said, hey, you know, this is a great idea.
1223
00:55:37.340 --> 00:55:38.199
He said, okay. Okay.
1224
00:55:39.489 --> 00:55:41.230
Cause that meant I would not.
1225
00:55:41.269 --> 00:55:45.090
Show up at school on my junior year until right
1226
00:55:45.139 --> 00:55:45.719
after lunch.
1227
00:55:45.780 --> 00:55:47.519
But you were still working on your career.
1228
00:55:47.559 --> 00:55:50.019
Well, I know. And he knew that. So he said, well,
1229
00:55:50.119 --> 00:55:53.619
it's a musical, right? And yes. And it was also, uh,
1230
00:55:53.840 --> 00:55:57.650
it was called under Odin's eye. So it was, uh,
1231
00:55:57.840 --> 00:56:02.500
it was historical. It was the Norse God. Uh, and
1232
00:56:02.539 --> 00:56:06.030
there was some foreign language. So he, he somehow talked
1233
00:56:06.070 --> 00:56:08.780
to the board of education and made it. So I,
1234
00:56:10.340 --> 00:56:13.449
Did my show in the morning. I got an English credit.
1235
00:56:14.309 --> 00:56:16.409
I got a music credit and I got a foreign
1236
00:56:16.469 --> 00:56:17.210
language credit.
1237
00:56:17.289 --> 00:56:18.329
That part's funny.
1238
00:56:18.349 --> 00:56:23.829
So basically I was, I went to those classes, but
1239
00:56:23.849 --> 00:56:26.780
I didn't have to actually go to the school until
1240
00:56:26.980 --> 00:56:30.699
after lunch. So thank you, Victor Hansard. You forever changed
1241
00:56:30.739 --> 00:56:33.980
my life. Thank you, Tom King and Vicki King. You
1242
00:56:34.219 --> 00:56:38.550
absolutely forever changed my life. And it's greatly appreciated. Oh,
1243
00:56:38.730 --> 00:56:41.030
and we ran into Cy Timmons a couple weeks ago,
1244
00:56:41.840 --> 00:56:46.300
who was a singer-songwriter who, again, changed my life with
1245
00:56:46.340 --> 00:56:49.980
his amazing talent at his restaurant in Atlanta back in
1246
00:56:50.000 --> 00:56:55.019
the 80s, pardon me, 70s, called Cafe Air One, which
1247
00:56:55.099 --> 00:56:57.039
is nowhere backwards.
1248
00:56:58.880 --> 00:57:00.260
That was a long diatribe.
1249
00:57:00.679 --> 00:57:02.659
Your turn. You've got three minutes. Go for it.
1250
00:57:02.679 --> 00:57:06.010
We've got three minutes left, and it's very exciting. Because
1251
00:57:06.050 --> 00:57:06.900
we could go on all day.
1252
00:57:06.909 --> 00:57:10.389
What are you going to talk about? You. Nah, I
1253
00:57:10.409 --> 00:57:10.909
just did that.
1254
00:57:11.829 --> 00:57:12.539
But I love to talk about you.
1255
00:57:12.550 --> 00:57:14.829
That was very self-serving, all that talk. But, you know,
1256
00:57:14.849 --> 00:57:15.150
it wasn't.
1257
00:57:15.190 --> 00:57:15.449
No.
1258
00:57:15.849 --> 00:57:18.289
Because your teachers are important. They're very, very important.
1259
00:57:18.309 --> 00:57:20.510
You're an actor, and this is how you got there.
1260
00:57:20.530 --> 00:57:25.480
And you still have this amazing career, which spanned from,
1261
00:57:25.559 --> 00:57:30.260
my gosh, you started with Smokey and the Bandit at 16.
1262
00:57:30.260 --> 00:57:33.179
Well, I started doing magic and juggling and all that.
1263
00:57:33.199 --> 00:57:33.699
That's 50 years.
1264
00:57:33.719 --> 00:57:37.860
Guitar playing at 8. Exactly. That's more than 50 years.
1265
00:57:37.889 --> 00:57:40.340
Mm-hmm. Yikes.
1266
00:57:40.400 --> 00:57:42.079
And you're what? 36? No.
1267
00:57:42.340 --> 00:57:47.880
I tell the truth. I'm 66.
1268
00:57:47.880 --> 00:57:56.659
But really 36. Really six. Well, there is that. There
1269
00:57:56.679 --> 00:57:57.440
is that.
1270
00:57:57.860 --> 00:58:00.260
Oh, just reading stuff. Got something coming up there. It
1271
00:58:00.280 --> 00:58:01.219
looks like a cameo.
1272
00:58:01.659 --> 00:58:07.039
But here's the thing. We are still like... America, USA, USA, USA,
1273
00:58:07.119 --> 00:58:10.219
all the way. We love President Trump. We're going to
1274
00:58:10.260 --> 00:58:13.570
do anything we can to be helpful. We helped some candidates.
1275
00:58:13.619 --> 00:58:16.730
Some of them won. Some of them lost. But mostly won.
1276
00:58:17.050 --> 00:58:19.369
Most of our people won. The only one that didn't
1277
00:58:19.389 --> 00:58:23.050
make it was really, oh, well, two. It was Max
1278
00:58:23.150 --> 00:58:24.530
and Darlene Graham.
1279
00:58:24.550 --> 00:58:25.329
Right.
1280
00:58:25.989 --> 00:58:27.630
And you know what? And I have to tell you,
1281
00:58:27.750 --> 00:58:30.829
I mean, let's just congratulate everybody, even the people who
1282
00:58:30.849 --> 00:58:34.980
didn't win, because that's a hard, hard job. It's so
1283
00:58:35.019 --> 00:58:37.530
difficult to campaign and do it day in and day out.
1284
00:58:37.570 --> 00:58:41.170
And we were talking about how President Trump is so sharp.
1285
00:58:41.730 --> 00:58:44.030
And he just, you know, even his staff was like, hey,
1286
00:58:44.070 --> 00:58:46.650
I've got an 80 year old that runs rings around us.
1287
00:58:47.010 --> 00:58:47.230
Right.
1288
00:58:47.409 --> 00:58:51.599
I mean, we love President Trump. We're so fortunate to
1289
00:58:51.639 --> 00:58:56.099
have him. And even with this crazy election cycle that
1290
00:58:56.139 --> 00:58:59.639
didn't go our way, we have President Trump. So I'm
1291
00:58:59.679 --> 00:59:02.260
very grateful for that. And I'm very thankful for it.
1292
00:59:02.260 --> 00:59:04.760
And it was so wonderful to visit with him. And
1293
00:59:04.760 --> 00:59:06.829
I've known him for years. I mean, you know I
1294
00:59:06.849 --> 00:59:09.449
mean in the very beginning I mean I knew I'm
1295
00:59:09.769 --> 00:59:11.690
like he needs to be the guy who runs because
1296
00:59:11.730 --> 00:59:15.340
he'll win and he did so that was wonderful and
1297
00:59:15.380 --> 00:59:17.090
it was so much fun for me and it was
1298
00:59:17.139 --> 00:59:21.699
so great to see John and President Trump together because
1299
00:59:21.780 --> 00:59:24.539
President Trump really was in awe of the show and
1300
00:59:25.239 --> 00:59:28.159
what was going on and he also knew that John
1301
00:59:28.219 --> 00:59:33.000
was out there with President Trump's fans, you know, taking
1302
00:59:33.099 --> 00:59:37.039
pictures and whatever, what have you. And he knew it
1303
00:59:37.079 --> 00:59:39.570
and he loved it that John was committed enough to
1304
00:59:39.610 --> 00:59:42.269
be helpful at the rally.
1305
00:59:42.710 --> 00:59:43.369
Sure, absolutely.
1306
00:59:43.389 --> 00:59:46.389
With a line of people taking pictures. But we did
1307
00:59:46.409 --> 00:59:50.099
it for President Trump. We did it for the cause.
1308
00:59:50.320 --> 00:59:51.059
Yes, we did.
1309
00:59:51.679 --> 00:59:53.360
So I think we're out of time.
1310
00:59:53.739 --> 00:59:54.019
Uh-oh.
1311
00:59:54.239 --> 00:59:54.880
Out of time.
1312
00:59:55.059 --> 00:59:56.880
Well, USA.
1313
00:59:56.980 --> 00:59:57.639
USA.
1314
00:59:58.159 --> 01:00:02.639
So, yeah, so folks in the Democrat world who ran
1315
01:00:02.840 --> 01:00:07.139
and won on basically. Congratulations, but it's, you know, USA, USA.
1316
01:00:07.159 --> 01:00:08.719
We didn't vote for you.
1317
01:00:08.760 --> 01:00:13.170
Hey, that's right. If you have common sense things and
1318
01:00:13.190 --> 01:00:15.610
you are trying to actually truly help the people of
1319
01:00:15.650 --> 01:00:18.769
your state, let us know. If you're a Dukes fan, fine.
1320
01:00:19.170 --> 01:00:21.730
You know, we want to help people. We want to
1321
01:00:21.750 --> 01:00:24.650
help people dream. We want to help people succeed. We
1322
01:00:24.670 --> 01:00:27.250
want to help this country be not only the best
1323
01:00:27.309 --> 01:00:29.869
country in the world, but we want to help it
1324
01:00:29.949 --> 01:00:34.110
get better and better and better. And the only people
1325
01:00:34.130 --> 01:00:36.610
who can do that are you. Oh, all right.
1326
01:00:36.969 --> 01:00:41.030
That's all the time we have. Mine's empty. This has been.
1327
01:00:41.309 --> 01:00:41.929
You can share mine.
1328
01:00:41.949 --> 01:00:45.300
I don't know how to do that. There's been drinks
1329
01:00:45.320 --> 01:00:46.440
with Didi and John.
1330
01:00:46.500 --> 01:00:46.880
Give me a little.
1331
01:00:47.619 --> 01:00:49.619
Oh, there you go. There you go. Now we're talking.
1332
01:00:49.639 --> 01:00:52.039
This has been Drinks with Dee Dee. And by the way,
1333
01:00:52.079 --> 01:00:53.079
that is the name of the show.
1334
01:00:53.900 --> 01:00:55.340
And yeah, anyhow.
1335
01:00:56.019 --> 01:00:58.219
Drinks with Dee Dee and John. We'll see you next week.
1336
01:00:59.199 --> 01:00:59.579
Love you.
1337
01:00:59.860 --> 01:01:00.239
Love you.
1338
01:01:00.300 --> 01:01:02.159
Mean it. All right.
1339
01:01:04.869 --> 01:01:07.409
Goodbye, all. Keep dreaming. Never stop.
1340
01:01:07.849 --> 01:01:08.329
USA, USA, USA.
