INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Flying cars don’t feel like science fiction anymore, and that’s where we start Episode 75 of The Wily Wire. I react to the latest jaw-dropping “flying car” moment, the wave of AI videos that make it even harder to tell what’s real, and why Florida keeps positioning itself as a hub for future transportation rules. If you’ve been searching for flying car tech updates and what it might take to make them street legal, you’ll hear exactly why this shift feels bigger than a passing headline.
Then we get into Elon Musk and the ripple effects of Starlink, including the idea that Starlink mobile internet could change how we think about coverage, competition, and pricing across the United States. I talk through why so many people feel trapped by expensive, uneven service, and why satellite internet from SpaceX could be a real pressure point on mobile carriers and legacy internet companies. We also touch on Musk’s Mars obsession and NASA Mars images that look clearer and stranger than ever.
Sports fans get plenty too: Milwaukee Brewers vs Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the World Series, the ratings reality nobody wants to say out loud, and why I still love the matchup as a baseball purist. I also jump into the Chicago Bears and Caleb Williams, plus my weekend in Las Vegas for Raiders vs Bills where Bills Mafia absolutely showed out, Allegiant Stadium delivered, and the stories kept stacking up.
We close with music and mayhem: Metallica at the Sphere, why James Hetfield’s “keep politics out of music” stance hits home, and a WTF segment featuring Peachy the flamingo and a Steve Kerr lookalike that fooled an arena. Subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review, then tell me which moment you can’t stop thinking about.

MOSTRA NOTE 🔗
TRASCRIZIONE 🔗
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:08.640
Welcome to this monumental episode 75 of the Wily Wire.
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:12.320
I can't believe it's been 75 episodes.
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:20.800
I guess in the podcast world, that's a monumental feat to get to, and you start it in January.
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:23.359
So it's a lot of work that goes into this.
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:29.839
I want to thank everyone that's listened because if I didn't get listeners, I obviously wouldn't be doing this.
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:35.200
I appreciate everyone listening, following us, and liking our videos and all that.
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:37.039
The support really helps.
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:39.359
But we got a big show today.
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:44.640
Flying cars, Elon Musk, SpaceX.
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:50.320
We got some real cool pictures of Mars that NASA took.
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:52.399
We got baseball talk.
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:58.399
We got uh MLB ratings, nightmare, brewers, Devil Rays World Series.
00:00:58.560 --> 00:00:59.600
I'm watching.
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:01.280
These are great baseball teams.
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:06.159
I'm excited about it, but the ratings, people probably are not.
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:08.959
I'm also going to talk about my WTF.
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:20.480
I also have two WTFs today, Steve Kerr lookalike, and poor Peachy, the flamingo in Las Vegas.
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:22.239
You got to hear this story.
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:24.400
Welcome to the Wiley Wire.
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:04.400
There's a lot of things going on behind the scenes that people also aren't talking about that are big.
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.200
But I'm going to start, of course, with the flying car.
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:11.520
That was just unbelievable.
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:16.159
I never thought this would happen this year.
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.039
I know there's technology out there.
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:21.360
I know there's been flying cars.
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:27.919
Like there's been tests going on, but not at the level Elon Musk just brought us to.
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:44.000
Seeing that car, the roadsters stuck upside down, air suction it to the top, and then to just burst off of that, spin three or four times and land and hover like that.
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.319
I don't have words for it.
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.919
Then you got Ron DeSantis saying he's going to make him street legal.
00:02:52.080 --> 00:03:04.879
And I said in uh bunch of episodes back that Florida has actually been generating plans to accommodate flying vehicles.
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.680
It's like ground zero for that.
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:12.400
It's like the headquarters for flying cars right now.
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:22.560
Because they announced this in January that they're going to actually be the ones developing the rules for the road or the air, I should say.
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:30.479
And it's going to be implemented across all the states in America as kind of the blueprint of how to do it.
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:38.879
But this flying car and some of these fake AI videos going around are absolutely hilarious.
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.840
The people with the coffee falling all over them.
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:47.360
You got people in traffic jams flying away.
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:49.599
There's one who's a police chase.
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:52.080
Some funny stuff's out there.
00:03:52.319 --> 00:04:00.879
If you have some time to go down the Tussle flying car, AI real rabbit hole, but it's funny.
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.439
But what an amazing feat in general.
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:13.840
And I think we're in a place right now where this is going to be a period of time that is going to be talked about forever.
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.360
Generations upon generations upon generations.
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:26.879
And then I saw I'm not going to get into politics much because to me it's a waste of time.
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:28.959
It's like watching wrestling.
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.360
I think it's all fake.
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:35.839
Um these political ads are driving me nuts.
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:42.639
But I gotta say this AOC called Elon Musk an idiot.
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:45.040
Low IQ or something.
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.079
Not intelligent, I think she used.
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:05.279
Whether you like Elon Musk or not, how could you say he's not intelligent?
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:09.360
And especially coming from AOC.
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.079
But she has a right to her opinion.
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.519
I'm not saying this because she's a Democrat.
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:20.800
I'd say it if a Republican said it or independent said it, or anybody said it.
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:22.399
This has nothing to do with politics.
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:28.079
AOC happens to be in politics, but I couldn't believe that she said that.
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:47.199
And then to add on to this, this is something that some people have found it's not really big in the news.
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.879
It's been surfacing, I should say, here and there.
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:57.920
But Elon Musk is about to control all mobile phone internet soon.
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:09.920
If you look up in the last two weeks, when he put all those satellites up, I think he put 20 some satellites, new satellites up, that's for internet.
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:14.000
Starlink, Starlink mobile is happening.
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:18.160
And I know he's talked about creating his own phone.
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.519
He says he will, but he doesn't want to.
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:23.759
He doesn't want to have to do that.
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:27.120
But I get I can't see him not doing that at this point.
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:42.800
If you're gonna own basically all mobile internet service and not charge people hundreds and hundreds a month, like we're getting ripped off by so many internet companies, and we don't even have a choice.
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:48.480
Some areas it's good, some areas it's bad, but everyone pays the same thing.
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:53.199
He's gonna have basically internet that's better than that.
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:59.759
All the internet companies, all the mobile companies, he's gonna have power on all of that.
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.079
And he's close to having it.
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:11.759
He's got like one more loophole, and then he'll basically be an option for people to save a lot of money on bad internet.
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:24.480
I guarantee he's not gonna gouge you like some of these companies are, and he's gonna charge you probably a reasonable rate, but you're gonna have extremely fast internet.
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:31.839
Anywhere you're at, doesn't matter if you're in the middle of nowhere to the biggest city in America.
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:37.600
So that's another thing Elon Musk is doing that not a lot of people are talking about.
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:39.120
It's very important though.
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:42.720
It's gonna change mobile phones, I think.
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.240
Internet forever.
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:50.079
So that's awesome that Elon Musk is doing that.
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.519
And then I heard one more Elon Musk story before I move on.
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:58.639
There's so many popular things that are in the news, and he's got his hands and everything.
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:05.519
So it's hard not to talk about him when you're talking about three or four different subjects.
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:19.680
But I heard in 2027, Elon Musk is gonna give every child, I haven't got the age determination on this, but he's gonna give every child one share of SpaceX.
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.720
I don't know how any parent wouldn't sign their kid up for that.
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:30.800
I mean, it's so there are things he's doing that are very generous.
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:37.919
He definitely can make Tesla cars higher priced, but he keeps them reasonable.
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:40.240
So I like this internet thing.
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:41.039
I hope it happens.
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:44.639
I hope he lowers internet prices, and I hope internet gets better.
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.840
But Elon Musk doing a lot of big things.
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:56.080
SpaceX, Tesla robots, Tesla cars, flying cars, and he wants to go to Mars.
00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:58.080
That's on his agenda.
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:00.960
He wants to have life on Mars.
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.519
He thinks it's possible, and his eyes are set on that.
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.919
They're set on a lot of things, but they're set on Mars too.
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:16.320
And I actually saw some footage as I roll out of this clip from NASA.
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:22.000
These are some of the clearest pictures of Mars that I've ever seen.
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:31.200
And just the rock scape to me just doesn't seem natural, but it is.
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:34.240
And there's one that looks like there's like a doorway.
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:37.039
So I don't know if things are living up there.
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:49.279
Maybe they've seen something, they're not telling us that, but this terrain that you're seeing feels like it's like Scottsdale, Arizona, before it was developed.
00:09:49.679 --> 00:10:14.320
But this is a clip I'm gonna roll of NASA's clearest footage of the planet Marshall.
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:02.879
The Milwaukee Brewers and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays are in the World Series.
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:08.879
Game one starts Friday, and this is probably gonna be an absolute ratings nightmare.
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:11.440
I talked about in my last show.
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:15.120
Major League Baseball, advertisers.
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:19.039
This is the last thing that they wanted, but I love it.
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.039
I'm a baseball purist.
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:24.879
These are obviously the two best teams.
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:37.519
Look what the Milwaukee Brewers did to the back-to-back World Series champion Dodgers, and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays just stormed through that American League pretty easily.
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:42.639
So you do have the two best teams in the World Series.
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:46.720
It's going to be a treat to watch if you're just a true baseball fan.
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:53.679
But if you're just the average everyday baseball fan, I don't see you too happy about this series.
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:58.799
And that's why Major League Baseball, without saying it, can't be happy with this.
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:02.080
Advertisers can't be happy with this.
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:11.759
Wisconsin, Milwaukee, they have great fans, great fan base, but just such a small market.
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:19.200
And I'd say Tampa Bay, they're actually filling their stadium up recently throughout these playoffs.
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:27.440
You go to a Tampa Bay Devil Rays game, especially they had to redo their stadium from the hurricane, it's always half empty.
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:35.279
And they're filling it up now because there's a lot of people that are excited about Raise Baseball.
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:38.080
There's also a lot of people that move to Florida.
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:44.320
It's such a transplant place that a lot of people already have their team.
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:52.639
So there's a lot of people that could probably care less that live in Tampa Bay or live around the Tampa Bay area.
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:59.679
But my pick for the series, I'm going to go with the Brewers in six games.
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:04.480
I think they are the more dominant team.
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:09.360
I think the National League is stronger than the American League.
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:12.399
Tampa Bay is a great baseball team.
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:21.360
Peralta with the MVP, they got phenomenal hitting, timely hitting, great pitching, great defense.
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:24.799
And the Brewers did all the right things as well.
00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:26.799
But I got the Brewers in six.
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:32.720
I just think they're a little bit too much for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays to handle at this point.
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:38.000
I think playing Cleveland, winning the series four games to two.
00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:40.559
They had some tough games.
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:45.279
I don't think Cleveland would have had a shot at beating the Brewers.
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:49.120
So I'm definitely taking the Brewers in six games.
00:13:55.039 --> 00:14:10.879
So now that I'm still on sports, I'm going to talk about the Chicago Bears, Caleb Williams, and you got to end any controversy, not that there was any, that the Bears could win without Caleb Williams.
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:23.759
The Bears are lucky to be two and one when Caleb Williams was out because they squeaked together a couple wins there, and they weren't pretty.
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:28.159
Except the CaseM start, he was lights out.
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:36.480
But the Badgett win, the second one, it was just boring football.
00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:39.200
Nobody played spectacular.
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:45.279
I thought Badget managed the game really well for the most part, and the Bears won.
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:50.559
But lightning's not going to strike in a bottle three times.
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:58.639
And that's why the Bears need Caleb Williams to have any shot at winning the Super Bowl.
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:07.519
I mean, this guy comes out 10 for 10, drives down, touchdown, threw for 300 and some yards.
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:11.759
He was like 33 for 38 or something passing.
00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:18.960
And he joins an elite group of quarterbacks to throw 50 touchdowns.
00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:23.279
Caleb Williams really controls the game.
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:26.879
He's night and day from his rookie season now.
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:40.000
He really grew up last year, came into his own, and now you're watching an absolute stud quarterback lead this Bears team.
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:45.519
Chicago Bears have not had a quarterback in my entire lifetime.
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:56.960
Jim McMahon, I love Jim McMahon, but he he played Mike Dick of football, and he did what it took to win.
00:15:57.679 --> 00:15:59.840
He wasn't flashy with the passing.
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:13.279
He was flashy, his style was flashy, but he wouldn't do much on the field compared to what guys are doing in the NFL now.
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:23.039
The Marinos back in the day, Steve Young's Montana, like Jim McMahon was not doing that.
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:29.440
But he got us the Super Bowl, and he'll go down as one of the greatest Bears legends of all time.
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:36.720
Because when you're the quarterback at the Chicago Bears and you win a Super Bowl, even if you get close to the Super Bowl, you're still remembered.
00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:47.279
You win the Super Bowl, you can etch your name in Chicago Bears' football history and be one of the biggest legends of all time.
00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:49.919
But the Chicago Bears look good.
00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:54.879
I think the Falcons are playing a little better and gave the Bears a little bit of a scare.
00:16:55.519 --> 00:17:07.119
But overall, you can't deny Chicago's offense, third down conversions, Caleb Williams is back, and he looked better than ever.
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:13.359
Well, I was in Las Vegas this weekend, and I just fall in love with this city every time.
00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:21.759
I was in Las Vegas this past weekend, and it's really become a top-notch sports town.
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:27.039
They're now getting an NBA team, professional soccer team.
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:35.839
They already have the Knights, Raiders, Oakland A's are moving to Las Vegas.
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:41.599
The stadium they're building for the A's is gonna be unbelievable.
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:43.759
I went by it a few times.
00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:50.160
They say they're about halfway done, but there's gonna be Major League Baseball in Las Vegas.
00:17:50.640 --> 00:18:05.680
But I'm gonna talk about the Raiders Bills game I was at, and I'll tell you, Bills fans, and I'm gonna tell you, Bills mafia is no joke.
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:16.559
I have never gone to an opposing team city and saw this many jerseys for the visiting team.
00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:22.480
Every second I saw Buffalo Bills jersey, they were everywhere.
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:30.240
I asked one guy what the population of Buffalo is, and he started laughing.
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:35.119
I said, everyone's gotta be here from Buffalo right now.
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:44.319
It was 80% Buffalo fans, and they are some crazy, there are some crazy Buffalo Bills fans.
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:47.759
None of it is myth.
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:50.480
I saw it with my own eyes.
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:56.400
I've seen, I saw people absolutely inebriated.
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:01.839
I saw people absolutely demolished drunk before the game started.
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:11.759
I had a guy I took a video of, he had a football helmet on, a jersey pads, and he wanted me to film them running into the stadium.
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:17.519
I just can't really overstate what I experienced.
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:20.960
Outside of the Raiders stadium, it was a lot of fun.
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:30.799
They got a huge tailgate area, things for kids, food, beverages, they got a stage, music plan.
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:32.960
It's a great time.
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:38.000
That stadium, Allegiance Stadium, is beautiful.
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:42.400
There's just nothing I could possibly say bad about it.
00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:48.000
It's a beautiful stadium, very modern looking, all black on the outside.
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:51.279
They got that white roof, flat roof.
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:54.720
It's definitely where stadiums are going.
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:59.519
I haven't seen a better football stadium than this stadium.
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.119
And the Raiders played good.
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:05.359
They almost won that game.
00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:20.480
But Josh Allen's play, where he kind of like free flicked the ball backhanded for like 15 yards for a touchdown while he was going down.
00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:25.359
That's an MVP play, MVP moment.
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:29.119
The Raiders had momentum.
00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:33.200
I mean, they still almost tied the game at the end.
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:41.440
But Josh Allen's scrambling, most quarterbacks will flick it five yards, but not 15 while you're falling.
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:43.440
It was unbelievable.
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:56.480
And I wouldn't say it let the air out of the stadium because it was all Bills fans, but if it was all Raiders fans, the air was definitely let out of the building when he scored that touchdown.
00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:01.920
But Buffalo Bills, Las Vegas Raiders was a blast.
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:10.799
And I have so many stories of people that I don't know if they even made it through the first quarter.
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:24.640
I had one girl tap me on the shoulder, and she was wandering around looking at her ticket, and she was like 40 sections off of where she's supposed to be.
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:31.519
And I don't even know if she can physically walk to her seats at this point.
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:39.519
But then I turned around and her boyfriend's the same way trying to find the seats as well.
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.880
I just told them, you gotta go back the other way, you're going the wrong way.
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:43.519
And that was it.
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:45.119
I don't know if they got there.
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:49.680
There was many people like that that I saw.
00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:57.440
I could tell you story after story after story, but it was an experience in many ways.
00:21:58.079 --> 00:21:59.599
Las Vegas sports.
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:05.680
Is really going to start competing with major, major markets real fast.
00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:13.039
They are a major market, but at the same time, their fan bases are very loyal.
00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:16.079
The Golden Knights fan base is very loyal.
00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:21.200
But it's going to take some time for it to be not such a tourist attraction.
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:26.160
I guess they're building so many areas now for new home development.
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:31.359
But I highly recommend seeing a Las Vegas Raiders game.
00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:33.599
I can't wait till the A Stadium comes out.
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:35.039
That's going to be awesome.
00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:38.799
Vegas Knights games are very fun.
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:44.079
I really don't have anything bad to say about Las Vegas, their fans.
00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:48.319
Buffalo Bills fans, by the way, were very nice.
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:49.839
They weren't mean at all.
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:53.119
They were actually super nice.
00:22:58.160 --> 00:22:59.440
Nobody yelling at each other.
00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:03.039
It was it was actually a good time.
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:06.799
And they represented Buffalo very well.
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:12.240
And I know they like to drink in Buffalo, so they represented the drinkers in Buffalo well too.

00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:46.319
So I saw Metallica in Vegas.
00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:51.680
I figured I'd tell this story since we're on the Vegas subject.
00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:56.960
I saw them at the sphere, and I was absolutely blown away.
00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:59.039
It was just phenomenal.
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:04.400
And that sphere is one of the greatest places to go see a concert.
00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:09.599
It is hands down unbelievable.
00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:23.920
So I got a hookup in Vegas to go to the show, but I didn't know how big of a hookup it was until I was in GA and a guy asked me why my wristband was red.
00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:28.000
And I said, I don't know what color's yours, and his was a different color.
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:34.000
So I walked up to the official right by the stage and he goes, Oh, you're in the stage.
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:36.640
It's like you gotta backstage.
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:38.000
I said, What?
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:53.680
So I walk back there, and it's really like 30 people, and we can see we're in front of the big stage and we're behind the middle stage, and we're just watching Metallica like literally a foot away from me.
00:24:54.000 --> 00:25:00.720
Like I have some of the best pictures and videos, and it's not like you take those videos and you're like zooming in.
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:04.480
I had to zoom out to get these guys in the picture.
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:06.960
That's how close I was.
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:10.400
But it was an awesome concert, awesome time.
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:13.440
Actually, I think they're playing into the 2027.
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:19.440
So if you haven't got a chance to go see Metallica at the sphere, I highly recommend it.
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:22.480
So I also want to talk about some controversy.
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:34.799
I don't know why it's controversial, but lead singing Metallica, James Hetfield, made a statement on October 10th that he wanted to keep politics out of music.
00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:41.279
He doesn't want to stand on stage and rant about politics.
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:51.680
He says Metallica is here to play music and have everybody have a good time, unite people, bring people together.
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:54.160
And I support this 100%.
00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:56.240
I really do.
00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:07.359
Watching a rock concert and the lead singer starts going off on a political rant, nobody wants to see that.
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:08.799
Nobody does.
00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:15.039
Whether you like what they're saying or you don't like what they're saying, you still nobody wants to hear it.
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:18.319
People want to have fun, they pay high ticket prices.
00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:20.960
It's crazy these ticket prices.
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:27.839
So why are you gonna alienate half the fans by going on a political rant?
00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:30.240
So I agree with Metallica.
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:35.039
I think all bands should leave it out of their their shows.
00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:39.519
But it's freedom of speech, you can say and do what you want.
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:47.440
I'm just saying from a marketing perspective, a fan enjoyment perspective, you gotta leave it out.
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:50.400
And I a hundred percent agree with Metallica.
00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:59.839
And watching a rock show and not have to worry about, not have to think about politics is what people need.
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:07.920
They don't need to be absorbed with these political commercials, politics 24-7.
00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:16.799
They get a little free time to get away from it all, and then you got the lead singer blaring out his political beliefs.
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:23.200
So I agree with Metallica, leave it out of the shows, and what a show that was.
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:24.960
Metallica at the sphere.
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:26.480
I highly recommend it.
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:36.079
I think they are all through October, and they have a little stint in January of 2027.
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:39.519
So it's definitely worth seeing.
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:47.759
It was electric, loud, power rock show, and just blew my mind.
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:57.920
The Wiley Wire segment where Brandon asks, What the f is this?
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:06.559
My WTF, this is disturbing in so many different ways.
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:08.480
But let's get to it.
00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:21.200
Canadian tourist Mitchell Fairbarn stole Peachy, the flamingo, from the flamingo casino.
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:25.039
Now this flamingo is 27 years old.
00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:44.079
He grabbed it by the neck and the f and the leg, severely hurt the bird, brought the bird to his hotel, brought the bird to his hotel room, and apparently admitted to police he tried to he tried to pop the bird's wing back in.
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:52.799
This guy has gotta be one of the meanest idiotic person I've ever seen.
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:55.519
But this story takes another turn.
00:28:55.839 --> 00:29:08.640
Apparently this Mitchell Fairbarn from Canada claims he drank 40 beers and was completely annihilated, and that's why he did all this.
00:29:09.279 --> 00:29:13.440
I didn't say four beers, I said forty beers.
00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:20.559
How could any human being guzzle 40 beers in one day?
00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:22.400
Two days.
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.319
I'm not sure which part of the story I'm shocked about the most.
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:35.279
The fact that he actually took Peachy the Flamingo, kidnapped it, grabbed it by the neck in the middle of the casino, and walked it up to his room.
00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:37.200
That's the one thing I can't believe.
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:41.599
The other thing I can't believe is he drank 40 beers.
00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:44.160
How does anyone even do that?
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:49.759
But Peachy the Flamingo is apparently doing okay.
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:53.519
It's traumatized, it's not acting the same as it used to.
00:29:54.079 --> 00:30:05.599
It had to be on pain medication for six months, and is now, I guess, back to better health, and obviously survived.
00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:08.240
But what a terrible thing to do.
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:10.799
How do you drink 40 beers?
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:13.440
That's my first WTF.
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:20.319
Alright, my second WTF, an absolute 100% Steve Kerr lookalike.
00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:22.880
I triple taked on this.
00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:31.200
When I first saw the video, I'm like, why Steve Kerr carrying a beer and he's not on the bench?
00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:33.599
Like, I literally thought it was Steve Kerr.
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:36.400
I I had no doubt about it, it was Steve Kerr.
00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:42.160
And then they panned the camera to the court and Steve Kerr's coaching.
00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:44.559
The fans thought it was Steve Kerr.
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:52.720
People were double, triple taken, and then Steve Kerr actually looked at the guy like, what the hell's going on here?
00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:55.440
He found his identical twin.
00:30:55.920 --> 00:31:02.400
Rode clip of Steve Kerr and Steve Kerr.
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:45.759
So that's a wrap of this monumental episode 75 of the Wily Wire.
00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:47.759
And one quick story.
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:51.279
When things are going good, they just get better.
00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:57.920
And when I was at the Raiders game on Sunday, I didn't know who the halftime music was.
00:31:58.000 --> 00:31:58.720
I didn't really care.
00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:00.400
I was having such a good time at the game.
00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:13.680
And then I'm like, by the stage, and I see somebody kind of grazed by me, and it was Gavin Rossdale from Bush, one of my favorite bands.
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:16.640
They were just hit after hit.
00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:25.119
And I've seen them in concert many times, and Gavin Rossdale and Bush, they put on a great performance.
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:30.720
But they were singing four songs for the halftime show.
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:42.559
So I'm literally watching Gavin Rossdale and Bush set up their equipment a little bit, tuning their guitars, and then the game kept kind of dragging on a little bit.
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:45.759
So they were kind of ready to play, but then they had to stop.
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:49.039
And it was awesome.
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:56.400
There was a lot of fans that gravitated to the area once they heard he started with Machine Head.
00:32:56.960 --> 00:32:59.839
And people like were like, What the heck?
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:02.079
A lot of people couldn't believe that it was Bush plan.
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:03.680
Um, but it was awesome.
00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:08.880
I didn't know I'd be next to the stage for Bush as well, which is cool.
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:21.680
So as I roll out of this episode 75, I'm gonna play some footage of Gavin Rossdale and Bush performing at the Raiders Bills game.
