00:04:39 Speaker 2: That bitch was barely done dripping before I had his ass back in there. 00:04:44 Speaker 4: That is awesome. Bullseye, dude. You're like a, you know, daredevil. 00:04:48 Speaker 3: Evil Eye came out. Dickie Dickie Doo. She came out with their friends. We had people who traveled all the way from Flagler County. That's awesome, man. 00:04:57 Speaker 4: It was so good. 00:04:58 Speaker 2: Everybody brought their dog out and people, even people. It's so funny because, man, I will tell you the one thing about our crowd that I've noticed a lot. And this just again, this is just my observation of it, because I'd say it if it was opposite. Man, everybody's so respectful. Our people are really nice, affable human beings who just love hanging out together and having a great day together. 00:05:20 Speaker 4: It was perfect. I mean, could not have been better. And now my new favorite annual tradition is washing Duke. Oh, yeah, yeah, that's your thing. 00:05:31 Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:05:32 Speaker 4: As opposed to washing dookie? Yeah, and I will break down because I've never said that sentence before, and it kind of feels like it needs some explanation. 00:05:39 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:05:40 Speaker 4: Last year, I got a dog that I got to wash. It's a long-haired dachshund. It's a long-haired dachshund, and it's the cutest little dog. 00:05:48 Speaker 3: The greatest. 00:05:49 Speaker 4: But every year they keep raising money, and now I think last year was a little over $ 100. This year was a little over $ 100. I keep washing the same dog for the same great foundation, and I have no complaints. 00:06:01 Speaker 3: Yeah, same here. I had the same little Jack Russell that I think I had like the year before. Not last year, but I think the year before. 00:06:07 Speaker 5: I had RCA, just like the RCA dog. Oh, that cute little puppy. 00:06:11 Speaker 3: He was the best. 00:06:11 Speaker 4: Was that Brindle eye patch? That's the coolest thing ever. 00:06:14 Speaker 3: Oh, my God. That was such a gorgeous dog. But that's what's so fun about this event because I don't have a dog anymore. We have three cats. So for me to get my puppy love, this event is perfect. Irish Wolfhounds that joined us for Hall of Faction dog training. He brought the small one. Is that who brought the little itty bitty? She looked like a black cotton ball. 00:06:33 Speaker 4: She looked like a loofah. 00:06:34 Speaker 3: Oh, she was so. And then she had a little handle on her back. Yeah. 00:06:38 Speaker 4: I had a favorite dog. I had a, it was weird to say I had a clear cut favorite dog at this event. Is it weird to shout. 00:06:46 Speaker 3: Out a dog? Not at all. Not for this event. Like what? But we don't even know if they listen. I'm sure they do. 00:06:51 Speaker 4: River. 00:06:52 Speaker 8: River. 00:06:53 Speaker 4: There was a Whippet named Rourke. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:06:55 Speaker 3: The Whippet was awesome. Beautiful Whippet. Magnets. Yeah, yeah.

00:06:59 Speaker 9: Magnets. 00:07:00 Speaker 4: I almost committed grand theft. 00:07:01 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah. 00:07:02 Speaker 2: I almost stole that dog. I talked to her for like five minutes about that dog. I mean, again, because you just assume all greyhounds, Whippets, dogs that are kind of built for speed like that are perpetually just hovering and swimming. 00:07:14 Speaker 9: Not at all. 00:07:15 Speaker 4: And it's not the case at all. She says this damn thing is running or sleeping. 00:07:18 Speaker 3: I had a little Belgian Malinois when Jack and I had to do the agility course for Daryl and Penny with the game toward the end, and she was a great dog. Great dog. Yeah, man. 00:07:28 Speaker 5: Meanwhile, I had a 120-pound retriever who was taking me wherever she wanted to take me. 00:07:34 Speaker 3: Exactly. 00:07:35 Speaker 5: Is that the one I had to wash that took an hour and a half because her fur is double-coated dogs, baby. 00:07:40 Speaker 4: Can I tell you something? Could not touch her skin. 00:07:42 Speaker 10: No. 00:07:43 Speaker 2: I i got her soaking wet and with the and as i'm lathering i'm like i'm not touching any body this is just hair it's all hair it took me a good 10 minutes just to rinse her out and then even then the dude looks at me and goes he's like a really dog dad kind of like a really dog dad uh and he's like no you missed a boss uh you gotta everybody's done drying her out she's like no there's some still there's some uh Residue there. 00:08:06 Speaker 4: You got to get that out of there. 00:08:07 Speaker 9: Wow. 00:08:08 Speaker 3: Well, I just heard today Chris said, oh, yeah, there's still lots of dog hair at Sunset Park. I'm sure. I'm like, that's great for the birds and the squirrels. They can use it for their nest. 00:08:17 Speaker 5: Last half full on that one. The mug. Did you see what the mug turned into? The mug turned into like our best step and repeat. It was kind of wild. 00:08:25 Speaker 2: People got their dogs in there because there weren't as many kids this year, or they were, but they didn't. Like last year, the kids were just destroying that mug. 00:08:33 Speaker 3: Right, the foaming beer mug. 00:08:35 Speaker 4: Yeah, there was a lot of foam on the ground. 00:08:37 Speaker 3: There was a lot of foam. 00:08:37 Speaker 2: It couldn't even make enough foam because the kids last year were just like, you know, getting there going crazy. This year- They were eating it. It wasn't as active, but people were getting their dogs in there. And you're going to see pictures online of Of like this giant foam bath with just a bulldog's face in it. 00:08:50 Speaker 3: Which is the best. Yeah, yeah. It's cool. 00:08:52 Speaker 5: What I loved about the dunk tank, because as Jimmy was there, I was like, you know, taking the people's tickets. But when the kids... There was one eight-year-old girl. Her name was Nora. 00:09:01 Speaker 11: Yeah. 00:09:01 Speaker 9: And just. 00:09:02 Speaker 5: Their face,

when they hit that and he goes in, it's just like. 00:09:06 Speaker 3: It's the best. 00:09:07 Speaker 12: Yes. 00:09:08 Speaker 3: At one point, I saw Jimmy go down and all you could see were his feet up against the glass and his ass. And I yelled out to the crowd, that costs extra. 00:09:16 Speaker 2: I actually tried to do that every time I fell. I tried to fall to my back so you could see something because you get a little window up front. 00:09:23 Speaker 4: By the way, you asked for video. My wife took a bunch of video. I got to get to you. Yeah. 00:09:27 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we've got to get it up because it really does tell the story of what the event was like. 00:09:31 Speaker 4: It was so much fun. The DJ that we hired, I forget her name. 00:09:34 Speaker 3: DJ Sarah Masters. 00:09:35 Speaker 4: Oh, Sarah was awesome. 00:09:36 Speaker 3: She was the best. 00:09:37 Speaker 4: Absolutely killed it. Couldn't have done better. All of our sponsors were wonderful. Glenn. 00:09:43 Speaker 5: It was just so good, man. That mortgage guy, Dom, came out to dunk you as well. 00:09:47 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah. 00:09:48 Speaker 3: Did he hit me? 00:09:48 Speaker 4: I can't remember if he got me or not. I don't think he did. 00:09:51 Speaker 5: And also, yeah, his co-host MJ also was thrown out. 00:09:56 Speaker 4: She had the cowboy dress, the cowboy boots. 00:10:00 Speaker 3: I miss River. But what I want to do is I want the audience to know just how much they helped the Humane Society of Lake County. So I don't believe this is our final total because I just heard from Angie this morning and she said they're still waiting on a couple of silent auction items to be picked up. But, Ross, if you could give me a drumroll, please. 00:10:22 Speaker 4: I'm not very good at it. 00:10:25 Speaker 3: Our fourth annual Suds, Pups, and Pints raised $ 10, 886 for the Humane Society of Lake County. Yay! 00:10:34 Speaker 9: Wow. 00:10:35 Speaker 3: Isn't that awesome? That is awesome. And like I said, it's not even the final tally yet. And that is the best one ever. It doesn't end. 00:10:45 Speaker 2: This one doesn't end. It's a real blue ball of a drum roll. Good job, Ross. 00:10:51 Speaker 3: I don't have the board. 00:10:53 Speaker 2: But good time. Everybody did such a wonderful job. Oh, another big thanks to Miller's Ale House. 00:10:58 Speaker 1: Yes. 00:10:59 Speaker 4: Out there in Mount Doraman. 00:11:00 Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Lunch. 00:11:01 Speaker 2: They set up that VIP room with some lunch that I kind of– I heard there was going to be some stuff there. You never know what's going. 00:11:07 Speaker 4: To be out there. 00:11:08 Speaker 3: Tons of burgers, wings, pasta. Alan hooked it up for us. 00:11:11 Speaker 13: Woo! 00:11:12 Speaker 3: And Fernando from Key Food also provided, you know, soda and water. So all of our talent, you know, our magicians, our jugglers. 00:11:18 Speaker 4: Saved our ass, man. 00:11:19 Speaker 3: Yeah. And that helped

out for our volunteers and for the staff as well. So thanks. It was such a, you know, I love the vibe of the event. That's the thing I love the most. It's a great place for families to come. 00:11:29 Speaker 4: My favorite Deb moment that was like full circle or just the whole event moment was seeing Commander, which was one of the dogs that we had here. 00:11:39 Speaker 7: Yes. 00:11:40 Speaker 3: When for Animal House. That's right. 00:11:42 Speaker 4: Hey, you can adopt this dog. And then just making that segment into reality, which was because you made the reality of the event and the segment. So much Deb all around me. My heart was full. 00:11:54 Speaker 3: It was cool to see. 00:11:54 Speaker 5: Commander was the last person I saw, the last dog I saw before I left. 00:11:58 Speaker 9: Same here. 00:11:59 Speaker 2: As I was kind of getting ready to get out of there. Baby was tired. You had my grandchild there and everything. So we were taking off. I think it was probably like 6.30 or so, 7 o'clock. And John, Handy John, who adopted Commander, I just heard a voice, Jimmy! And there he was. And old Commander was there looking exactly like he did here. 00:12:19 Speaker 3: It was great. You know what was great to me? 00:12:21 Speaker 5: I got to meet for the first time a Kansas trucker. 00:12:24 Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, Solomon. He came out. 00:12:26 Speaker 3: I was so shocked. Yeah, when he yelled it, he was like, you know who this is? And I was like, it's Kansas Trucker. 00:12:31 Speaker 2: I was pissed off, too, because I usually bring my cigars with me to have a smoke because it's one of the only outdoor events where I can really do that. 00:12:38 Speaker 4: And I didn't bring them. 00:12:38 Speaker 2: And as soon as I saw him, I was like, damn, dude, I wanted to give you a handful of smokes because he loves cigars. But he showed up wearing, like, velour sweatpants. 00:12:47 Speaker 3: I'm like, dog, what are you wearing? Yeah. You got to take care of the hose when you get done with this? Probably. 00:12:52 Speaker 5: That's the other thing people ask me. It's like, hey, you guys doing another cigar event? 00:12:55 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. What are you doing, dude? 00:12:58 Speaker 4: Are you a stereotypical bad guy chasing Spider-Man? 00:13:01 Speaker 3: By the way, someone texted us at 77031 just to say, and Ross and Joel's show in Daytona Beach was awesome. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:13:08 Speaker 4: It was a full slate for me on Saturday. 00:13:10 Speaker 3: Yeah, man. 00:13:11 Speaker 4: I'll tell you more about that at 6 o'clock. You went hard that day, dude. It was, yeah, but I don't think I'll ever go hard that way again. Yeah, that was a 16, 18-hour day for you that day. 00:13:25 Speaker 3: That it was. 00:13:26 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. All right, 407-916-1041. Big thanks to everybody that came out for us. 00:13:30 Speaker 3: Yes, thank you. 00:13:30 Speaker 2: And by the way, the choice for the design and the color of the T-shirt, Could not have been better. I mean, people wearing those things everywhere. It was the best shirt we've had so far. 00:13:41 Speaker 3: Yeah, somebody said cool-ass shirt. Bought two. Sold every one but four. 00:13:46 Speaker 9: Yep. 00:13:46 Speaker 3: Almost sold completely out of the t-shirts. Angie said they've never sold that many t-shirts at an event before. 00:13:52 Speaker 4: So amazing, amazing event. I think that's how you get to $ 10, 000. 00:13:55 Speaker 3: I think that is that and the dunk tank and the silent auction and all of it. Absolutely. 00:13:58 Speaker 4: What's your upper news, kiddo? 00:13:59 Speaker 3: Okay, well, we're going to talk about Florida's Attorney General asking for an injunction against OpenAI. Florida's minimum wage goes up this week. You'll need that for gas prices. And when being a deputy just isn't enough. We'll talk about that and more coming up next during JCS News. 00:14:16 Speaker 2: All right, let's take a little break. We'll come back and get Deb's news and continue on with the Jim Colbert Show. All right, welcome back to the Jim Culver Show. Roll Radio 104.1. Suds, Pumps, and Pints 4 is in the books. Now it's time to move on to Sunset Walk at the Promenade for our big events coming up this Friday and Saturday. Live broadcast on Friday. And, of course, the big Best Up Challenge on Saturday. We'll keep up on that here as we move out through the week. 00:14:42 Speaker 4: Welcome back. 00:14:42 Speaker 3: I'm Jim. 00:14:43 Speaker 4: There's Deb. 00:14:43 Speaker 3: Hello. 00:14:44 Speaker 4: Jack is here as well. 00:14:45 Speaker 3: And so is Ross. Believe in yourself. Let's get some news. 00:14:48 Speaker 4: Here's Deb. 00:14:50 Speaker 1: It's time for JCS News. Wow, has this guy got to put his name on everything? 00:14:56 Speaker 3: It's in my contract, dude. 00:14:57 Speaker 1: Here's the news on the Jim Colbert Show. 00:15:01 Speaker 3: And JCS News is brought to you by that mortgage guy, Don, who's got a good throwing arm even if he didn't get you in the water. All right, NASA and Boeing are updating the future of the Starliner spacecraft. This comes after Starliner was deemed unsafe to return astronauts to space. Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams back to Earth, so they were stranded for nearly nine months aboard the International Space Station following helium leaks and thruster failures while traveling to the ISS. I hate thruster failures. Wilmore and Williams eventually returned to Earth aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. NASA is discussing Starliner's next flight and plans for future crewed missions today. That started about 22 minutes ago at 3 o'clock. 00:15:42 Speaker 9: Really? Yeah. Wow. 00:15:43 Speaker 3: All right. State Attorney General James Uthmeyer is already investigating OpenAI civilly and criminally. Now he's asking for a temporary injunction against the firm and CEO Sam Altman following recent cyber attacks. 00:15:58 Speaker 14: Today we asked the court for a new temporary injunction. No

new model development without independent safety guardrails. No more harvesting children's data. No more calling this product safe, accurate. 00:16:10 Speaker 3: Or reliable. Uthmeyer says rogue AI attacks on Hugging Face and the Australian healthcare system have even the company's own board members calling for guardrails. OpenAI says it has paused training of its most advanced AI models as it works on preventing... Future rogue attacks. 00:16:29 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:16:29 Speaker 5: They're not going to self-impose. They need government to say, you need to do this. 00:16:35 Speaker 3: The problem is this government moves too slowly. By the time government comes up with a law, there are 10 AIs in. 00:16:40 Speaker 4: But this is what has to happen, though. 00:16:42 Speaker 2: I mean, you have to use the legal system to do this because even– Even while it's being litigated, you know, it can pause until then. 00:16:50 Speaker 4: Absolutely. 00:16:50 Speaker 5: Because not everyone in government thinks guardrails are needed. So we're saying we have to be China at all costs. 00:16:56 Speaker 3: What does that even mean? 00:16:58 Speaker 4: But it just means. 00:16:59 Speaker 5: Unleashing this into the world and you can't put it back in. 00:17:01 Speaker 3: No, you cannot. And that's that's why does that humanity always seems to do that? We create something before we've figured out how to control it. 00:17:10 Speaker 4: Because there is a lot of money on being the first. 00:17:12 Speaker 3: There you go, Ross. All right. Project to transform part of Orlando could move forward today. The Orlando City Commission is expected to discuss the Canopy Project. Do you guys remember the canopy? 00:17:22 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, underneath on 4. 00:17:23 Speaker 3: Yeah, it calls for turning 10 acres of land downtown under I-4 between West Church Street and West Washington Street into an urban gathering space. Love this idea. The commission is expected to approve the $ 1 million contract today. The canopy is expected to open next year. District 5 Commissioner Shan Rose tells News 6 this is an opportunity to show we're building a better downtown Orlando. All right, Palmetto Bay a little further south could be banning data centers for good. 00:17:52 Speaker 15: We border Biscayne National Park, one of the most treasured areas in all of South Florida. And we all know the impacts that data centers can have to our natural resources. So keeping them out of Palmetto Bay is just critically important for our environment and also, more importantly, our quality of life here in our village. 00:18:07 Speaker 3: Yeah, Vice Mayor Mark Merwitzer says the village is a unique bedroom community and data centers would wreck their quality of life. There's no need to pass a moratorium like many other communities are doing if the ordinance gets initial approval tonight. It would go back in front of the council next month for final approval. 00:18:23 Speaker 5: I know figuratively they call it a bedroom community, but could you imagine in your bedroom if that's what you heard that? 00:18:30 Speaker 3: No, that would literally drive me insane. There's a reason. I mean, noise pollution is a real thing. 00:18:36 Speaker 2: Dude, I got to tell you, we played golf this weekend near a place that has a concrete factory. 00:18:40 Speaker 3: Oh, no. 00:18:41 Speaker 4: That runs pretty regularly. No, that's 24-7. And I will tell you, it's not loud. But it's never not there. 00:18:49 Speaker 5: Right. 00:18:51 Speaker 3: It's like it's loud enough where you can hear it. 00:18:53 Speaker 5: There's this little hum going on and you can hear it. I already got that. It's called tinnitus. 00:18:58 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. All right. Florida drivers are paying more at the pump after gas prices jumped 18 cents last week before slipping six cents over the weekend. 00:19:12 Speaker 15: Freudian. 00:19:13 Speaker 3: Well, you know, they're asking a lot at the gas station. 00:19:15 Speaker 4: They're asking us. 00:19:16 Speaker 10: Exactly. 00:19:18 Speaker 3: I saw the funniest reel on Instagram yesterday. It said, may as well play romantic music while my customers are getting effed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:19:24 Speaker 6: Right, exactly. 00:19:27 Speaker 9: Wow. 00:19:28 Speaker 3: The statewide average is now $ 4. 00:19:29 Speaker 4: 34. 00:19:29 Speaker 3: That is six cents higher than a week ago, 33 cents more than a month ago. AAA says the spike followed earlier increases in crude oil prices, but falling oil costs last week helped ease pressure on gas prices in the days ahead. The average fill-up in Florida now costs about $ 60, 000. $ 65, compared with $ 44 at this time last year. 00:19:55 Speaker 4: My last two have been $ 86 on the. 00:19:57 Speaker 3: Dot, both of them. I'll be honest with you, man. 00:19:59 Speaker 4: Gas prices are so expensive, I'll spit on the nozzle before I put it. 00:20:03 Speaker 3: In the car. Okay, easy. 00:20:05 Speaker 4: Please stop. 00:20:07 Speaker 3: Please stop. You gots to break out all your skills. 00:20:12 Speaker 4: Hey, baby, you take Zell? That's not good for your gas tank. 00:20:17 Speaker 3: This hurts both of us. Exactly. One of us way worse. Close your eyes and think of England. 00:20:22 Speaker 5: Not for nothing, but 386 is the most I ever paid because of BJ's Hotel Club. 00:20:27 Speaker 3: Hey, if there's any reason to get one of those memberships, it would just be for the gas prices alone. It's worth it. All right, Florida's minimum wage rises to $ 15 an hour on Wednesday, but critics say it's still too little too late. Advocate Karen Woodall calls it a start. 00:20:43 Speaker 10: We have a long way to go, but it'll help. We just need to start talking about living wages, because minimum wages... were intended to be the floor. 00:20:54 Speaker 3: So the raise is a result of a 2020 constitutional amendment that voters passed. Some economists estimate a, quote, living wage,

end quote, would be about how many dollars per hour on average? 00:21:06 Speaker 2: Well, 15 is 31.2 a year. After taxes, you're pulling in, what, 26, 27? That's $ 2, 000 a month. You can't live on that. I'd say probably $ 22 an hour. 00:21:17 Speaker 3: That's exactly what I was going to guess. 00:21:19 Speaker 7: Really? 00:21:20 Speaker 3: Ross, what are you going to guess? $ 24. Okay, points, Ross. $ 48. What? 00:21:26 Speaker 4: Dollars per hour on average. Well, you know what they need to do? Lower the price of everything else. 00:21:32 Speaker 3: Everything else. 00:21:34 Speaker 2: So that means $ 90, 000? 00:21:36 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:21:36 Speaker 3: To keep your head above water here in the state. That's just a living wage. 00:21:41 Speaker 5: Well, yeah, that $ 100, 000 number isn't going to be so impressive anymore soon, right? 00:21:44 Speaker 9: Nope. 00:21:45 Speaker 3: Nope. 00:21:45 Speaker 2: Yeah, you used to talk about $ 100, 000. That used to be the milestone for your salary. I don't even know if that comes into play anymore. 00:21:52 Speaker 5: The milestone, but $ 75, 000 used to be what they said a household needs to be, you know, to be. Not worried, not paycheck to paycheck. 00:22:02 Speaker 9: Right. 00:22:02 Speaker 4: Not worried about. 00:22:03 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:22:04 Speaker 5: To be a little to have that level of comfort where money isn't your top concern every week. 00:22:09 Speaker 1: Right. 00:22:09 Speaker 8: Exactly. 00:22:09 Speaker 4: Seventy five. I think that's got to be in the 90 to 100 range. 00:22:14 Speaker 3: Easy now. All right. A quick note on a politics simply because she broke from the ranks. We talked about that story and was wondering if it was going to stay pleasant. And apparently it has not. Because Miami's 27th congressional race is reaching a boiling point. Following President Trump's public attacks on Republican incumbent Maria Elvira Salazar, election analysts have officially downgraded the seat from, quote, likely Republican, end quote, to a competitive, quote, leans Republican, end quote. That's not something you normally hear down in South Florida, which is deep, deep red. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A Democratic challenger, Elliot Rodriguez, is already calling the fallout a total meltdown for Salazar's campaign. Another Florida death row inmate is scheduled to be executed this week. Curtis Beasley is set to die tomorrow, September 29th, for murdering a woman in Polk County in 1995. 65-year-old Carolyn Monfort was beaten to death in her home. Prosecutors say Beasley then stole the victim's car and cash before fleeing to Alabama, where he was later arrested. If Beasley's execution goes forward, it will be the 16th in Florida this year. Meanwhile, three doctors may determine whether a 74-year-old Florida death row inmate is executed on October 13th. The governor has appointed them to examine William Thompson this week for dementia. Thompson is set to be executed for the 1976 murder, kidnapping, and rape of a 23-year-old woman in North Miami Beach. This is the part that confuses me. How does someone who committed a crime in 1995 get executed before someone who's been sitting on death row since 1977? Right, yeah. Okay. An anti-execution advocate, Grace Hanna, says these are the reasons why Thompson should not be put to death. 00:24:03 Speaker 12: Mr. 00:24:03 Speaker 4: Thompson is an elderly man who is incredibly physically ill. 00:24:07 Speaker 9: He was discharged from the hospital the day before the governor signed his death warrant. 00:24:12 Speaker 4: He is still quite sick. 00:24:13 Speaker 3: And on top of that, he has dementia. Sounds like karma's already got him. Yeah. Now, because he has dementia, so the state standard says that to be executed, you have to understand why you're being executed and the crime that you committed. Wow. Yeah, exactly. And she said that His doctors and attorneys are saying he doesn't meet that state standard because of dementia. He doesn't know he's going to be executed. 00:24:38 Speaker 16: Yeah. 00:24:39 Speaker 4: Anybody want to share their opinion on that? 00:24:42 Speaker 3: Sure. We know somebody over here who still wants to flip the switch. Yeah. 00:24:45 Speaker 4: I mean, he still killed and raped that woman, right? 00:24:48 Speaker 3: Yeah. And kidnapped. 00:24:50 Speaker 11: Yeah. 00:24:52 Speaker 4: But that is a wild shift to work. 00:24:56 Speaker 3: Yeah. And this is I would imagine this is going to be coming up a lot because I don't know if you guys have realized the last couple of executions in the state have all been elderly men. And the upper 60s and 70s have been sitting on death row for 30 years. Exactly. Exactly. So that's kind of like that new wrinkle of like, oh, now you're executing an elderly man. But like you said, Jimmy. He is there for a reason. That's right. 00:25:17 Speaker 4: I mean, worst case, I just putting anybody in the position of, hey, the state has hired you to put down an elderly man. 00:25:26 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. 00:25:26 Speaker 4: It feels a little skeevy. It's just a crazy thing to say and a crazy thing to have happen in your state. Kind of funny that this is coming around. I just heard a story this morning. 00:25:36 Speaker 2: I think it was on BBC or maybe NPR about a guy who was a warden of a prison and he put people to death. One he thinks, even after the fact, was innocent. And the whole story was about how he lives with that now. And he goes and he says, I feel them sitting at the end of my bed every night when I go to sleep. 00:25:56 Speaker 3: No way. 00:25:57 Speaker 2: I feel them sitting there and staring at me. And he said he's lived with that his entire life. It was a pretty creepy story. 00:26:03 Speaker 3: That's very creepy. All right. Like I said, I was invited to be a witness at Eileen Wuornos' execution. And I just didn't want to be there. It was a book deal waiting to happen. To get to the book deal, I didn't want to have to watch

that. 00:26:20 Speaker 4: I'm not for it. I'll just throw that out there. I'm not for it. 00:26:24 Speaker 3: I don't like it. I don't like this. That's fine. 00:26:26 Speaker 9: All right. 00:26:26 Speaker 3: I don't like this next story either. And these are the kind of stories that really frost my flakes. But a couple is facing charges after their child was found wandering alone in Osceola County. And it's where this child was found wandering alone that just makes you go. But you have to have a license to drive. 00:26:41 Speaker 9: Right. 00:26:41 Speaker 3: Exactly right. 00:26:43 Speaker 4: Right. To vote, to play, to gamble. 00:26:45 Speaker 3: Johnny John Baptiste and Stacia McMillian were arrested yesterday morning because the sheriff's office says their two year old. was found alone in the middle of the road Saturday night. Two-year-old, like what, 24 inches tall? Yeah, doesn't really belong. Standing in the middle of the road. 00:27:05 Speaker 4: Well, you saw my grandson this weekend. 00:27:07 Speaker 3: Oh, that little chunk. 00:27:08 Speaker 4: And he is seven months old. 00:27:10 Speaker 2: So two-year-old is going to be, you know, yeah, just standing up probably about that. 00:27:14 Speaker 3: About Miles' height. 00:27:15 Speaker 4: Miles' height, although he is pretty tall. My son just turned two, but he's also like 5'1. Doesn't make sense. 00:27:22 Speaker 3: Well, thankfully, a passerby saw the child, stopped and called 911. Deputies say they found a home with an open door and contacted Johnny, but he hung up on them. And then it says he and McMillian were arrested after they returned home and were uncooperative. They're charged with child neglect without great bodily harm, thank God. DCF was notified and a family member took custody of the child. All right, get ready. The Orlando Magic are back to work this week. Training camp gets underway Tuesday as the team begins to prepare for the new NBA season. The Magic opened the preseason October 7th on the road against the Memphis Grizzlies, followed by a trip to Cleveland on October 11th. Orlando then returns home for back-to-back games at the Kia Center on the 13th and 16th. The regular season tips off October 21st when the Magic hosts the Atlanta Hawks. 00:28:15 Speaker 2: Yeah, one of the big stories in the NBA today, and I'm sure we'll cover this a little bit with Brandon this afternoon as we wedge it between football stuff, is today was the first time you saw LeBron James in. 00:28:24 Speaker 4: A Sixers uniform. 00:28:26 Speaker 3: Oh, wow. 00:28:26 Speaker 4: I think Philly's media day was today. 00:28:29 Speaker 3: It's crazy to me that when you watch MLB, you know, Quick pitch. One of those shows is already signed off for the season. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, it's all winding down. NBA is getting ready to start. It's October in a couple of days. The shift. 00:28:44 Speaker 9: It is. 00:28:44 Speaker 3: It is the shift. And then finally. 00:28:45 Speaker 4: The playoff hunt for the Orlando City. Just throwing that out there. 00:28:48 Speaker 8: Oh, yeah. 00:28:48 Speaker 3: There you go. There you go. Absolutely. I bleed purple. That's right. And then finally, this is a sports story of a different kind. A Miami-Dade sheriff's deputy making history with a viral victory in his UFC debut. Catch this, S. Luis Hernandez stepped into the octagon on just two days' notice, defeating his opponent by submission in an incredible 57 seconds. 00:29:16 Speaker 8: Damn! 00:29:16 Speaker 3: 57 seconds with two days' notice. It's not like this guy has been training for the last four to six weeks. 00:29:23 Speaker 4: This dude's a cop, right? 00:29:24 Speaker 3: This dude, the sheriff's office issued an official statement congratulating Hernandez, who, yes, is the first active South Florida officer to compete in the UFC. Let's just put it this way. If he asks you for your driver's license and insurance, you hand that S over. 00:29:40 Speaker 4: Yeah, avoid that precinct. 00:29:42 Speaker 3: All together. That's a TV show waiting to happen. Isn't it? 00:29:45 Speaker 4: Just having this guy take fools down with jiu-jitsu. 00:29:48 Speaker 3: I love it. 57 seconds with two days notice. I don't know any other UFC fighter who could do that on such short notice. 00:29:54 Speaker 2: Just show me half an hour of body cam footage of this guy kicking dudes' teeth out. 00:29:58 Speaker 3: I'm in. 00:29:59 Speaker 4: I want to make jokes, but I'm going to spend my time saying bravo because the one thing that I– if I had– I've heard this criticism with police officers in the past, and I kind of can get on board with the logic of the more hand-to-hand they are comfortable with– I think the more situations, the less shootings. 00:30:18 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely. 00:30:20 Speaker 4: And so him going out of his way to pursue this, which is a symbiotic benefit for his career. 00:30:25 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 00:30:26 Speaker 4: Which is a benefit for his community. Could not compliment that guy enough. 00:30:31 Speaker 3: And what a public service to the numb nuts out there who might think of challenging Deputy Hernandez. You know, he can just show him, you know, like his reel. 00:30:40 Speaker 2: Oh, they'll still try his ass. And that's where I want the fun to come in. That's why we had a body camera on. 00:30:46 Speaker 3: There's the TV show. Kick in the face, kick in the face. 00:30:48 Speaker 2: I'm going to be cheering this guy on from the sidelines holding popcorn. 00:30:52 Speaker 3: You know it. 00:30:52 Speaker 4: Imagine if the police officer shows up and then he takes off his vest. 00:30:56 Speaker 3: No. You're like, oh, God. Exactly. We're in trouble, guys. He makes himself less safe. Exactly. So that way there's no lawsuit. 00:31:03 Speaker 4: There's no thing after the fact. 00:31:05 Speaker 3: Like, hey, I had no chance. Like, this guy was naked. And that concludes your JCS News. All right. Very good. 00:31:15 Speaker

11: 407-916-1041. 00:31:16 Speaker 3: Text 77031. Back in a sec with more of the Jim Colbert Show. 00:31:28 Speaker 9: Well, he knew what he was being executed for when he got the sessions back in, what'd you say, 77? 00:31:35 Speaker 15: So he knew what he was doing when he did the crime. I think that sounds. 00:31:39 Speaker 4: Like his problem to me. 00:31:42 Speaker 17: Hey, it's Chance the Trucker. I really enjoyed myself Saturday. It was kind of a hard day for me. It was the anniversary of my father's death in 2011, which happened on a Saturday at 1036. I had to choose between his comfort or the Battle of Kenya for another two months, which ended the same way. I really enjoyed you guys. And that outfit was for the folk show, which I missed. 00:32:10 Speaker 3: They're born out. 00:32:13 Speaker 14: So I guess with the dunk tank, you guys got to find out how soft and absorbent Jim Colbert really is. 00:32:20 Speaker 3: It was absorbent. Wasn't all that bad. Wasn't that bad at all. 00:32:27 Speaker 4: All right, welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show, Real Radio 104.1. 00:32:30 Speaker 3: I'm Jim. There's Deb. Hello. 00:32:32 Speaker 4: And Ross. 00:32:32 Speaker 3: What? It's all true. I was just going to say those harps helped keep you in a good mood. 00:32:37 Speaker 4: Yeah, I had a number of those. 00:32:38 Speaker 5: I think the biggest challenge for you is all the up and down, like having to climb up and how many times. 00:32:43 Speaker 2: Yeah, my calves are sore. I can crawl up that damn thing a lot. I probably got dunked 20, 25 times. 00:32:50 Speaker 3: Wow. It was awesome. 00:32:52 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah. 00:32:53 Speaker 4: I saw, it's so funny, I was in the dunk tank, I look over to the right and there's Ross just standing there staring at me. 00:32:58 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. 00:32:59 Speaker 4: He's out of the crowd, he's just standing on a corner like some bum just staring at me. I'm like hidden, just going like, yeah. I don't know what he's. 00:33:05 Speaker 3: Doing over there. The crowd parted for me because I started, when I saw, I was like, Excuse me, excuse me, I gotta see this, I gotta see this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:33:12 Speaker 4: It was awesome. It kind of felt like a public shaming. Did it really? 00:33:15 Speaker 3: A little bit. Like we put them in the, what were those things? The stocks? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:33:20 Speaker 4: It was Game of Thrones when she had to walk down the street. Shame! 00:33:24 Speaker 3: Shame! Shame! 00:33:26 Speaker 4: There was like a little bit of that vibe, but also like, you know. 00:33:31 Speaker 3: Nick Jr. 00:33:32 Speaker 2: I fully expected Jack to take a couple swings, but he did not throw at me. I fully expected you to take a couple shots. Like when I sat down for the first time, Jack was there with a basket of balls in front of him. 00:33:42 Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, this MF-er. He was the first guy up there buying tickets. 00:33:46 Speaker 3: No, actually, he was the guy working

the attraction. 00:33:48 Speaker 9: He was. 00:33:48 Speaker 3: So thank you very much, Jack. Absolutely. 00:33:51 Speaker 4: And then Ross, you didn't throw any either? 00:33:53 Speaker 11: No. 00:33:53 Speaker 4: I threw some at... Big T? No, D-Bag. 00:33:58 Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah. 00:33:58 Speaker 12: T-Bag. 00:33:59 Speaker 3: T-Bag. All the bags. Sorry. Lots of bags. 00:34:01 Speaker 4: Which was awesome, though, because he dressed up as a T-Bag, and it makes way too much sense to be dressed up as a T-Bag in a dunk scenario. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he sewed it himself. 00:34:14 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:34:14 Speaker 4: Yeah, I couldn't tell. 00:34:17 Speaker 3: It looked just like Twinings. Oh, yeah. 00:34:20 Speaker 4: Very Gucci of him to do that, for sure. 00:34:22 Speaker 3: Very Gucci. 00:34:23 Speaker 2: All right, 407-916-1041, text 77031, Emily the Movie Girl coming up in the next hour. Jack, your favorite sandwich is– let me ask you a quick question, Jack. When you go out and you buy your peanut butter for your favorite Sammy, what is your peanut butter of choice? 00:34:42 Speaker 4: That's funny. 00:34:42 Speaker 3: I today had two PB & Js for lunch. Did you really? That's normal. 00:34:46 Speaker 4: And I don't– Well, here's the deal. 00:34:50 Speaker 3: We went out. 00:34:50 Speaker 4: We did Magical Dining out two days this weekend. 00:34:53 Speaker 3: Good for you. Where'd you go? 00:34:54 Speaker 4: Last weekend. Went to Terramia last night. 00:34:56 Speaker 3: Was it good? 00:34:56 Speaker 4: It was great. Service was fantastic. Popped sushi the night before. 00:35:01 Speaker 3: That was fun. I know. 00:35:02 Speaker 4: That's good. That's good. So we didn't have any leftovers, which would normally be my lunch. 00:35:07 Speaker 13: Right. 00:35:07 Speaker 5: So we did PB & J on the Aldi sourdough. 00:35:11 Speaker 3: Sure. It was lovely. Do you get the Aldi brand peanut butter? I'm a brand loyalist. 00:35:16 Speaker 5: Now, typically, if I'm buying it, I will do that. And either I grew up on Skippy, but that or Jif. I'm good either way. 00:35:25 Speaker 3: Choosy moms choose Jif. 00:35:26 Speaker 5: Yeah, Peter Pan would be fine with me. But I think my wife, I don't even know what brand is in there. And I don't look. It's better not to know. 00:35:33 Speaker 4: You don't know. 00:35:35 Speaker 5: I don't like the kind that you leave it out and you got to stir it and stuff. 00:35:40 Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. All natural one. 00:35:41 Speaker 5: I want enough chemicals where it holds it together. Okay, well, that's funny enough. That's what the story is about today. What is your favorite? 00:35:49 Speaker 9: Jif. 00:35:50 Speaker 4: You're a Jif girl. 00:35:51 Speaker 3: I'm a creamy Jif, although I will do sometimes crunchy. 00:35:54 Speaker 4: Okay, sometimes crunchy. She likes nuts every once in a while. 00:35:59 Speaker 3: Who doesn't, right, Ross? All of us, man. Yeah, yeah. 00:36:03 Speaker 4: What PB are you, buddy? Kirkland Signature. 00:36:06 Speaker 3: You're a Kirkland Signature. 00:36:07 Speaker 4: Nothing wrong with that. Yeah, that's where we get our peanut butter and jelly. 00:36:10 Speaker 2: Well, the reason I bring this up is we've heard this about the ice cream business for years, right? 00:36:16 Speaker 3: What do you mean? 00:36:17 Speaker 2: Remember when we found out that some brands of ice cream actually weren't ice cream at all? They had no milk. It didn't have enough butter fat or milk fat in there. 00:36:26 Speaker 9: Right. 00:36:27 Speaker 4: So it's ice milk or they come up with a different name. 00:36:29 Speaker 2: Frozen dairy treat or product or they'll say something like that, right? 00:36:35 Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah. 00:36:35 Speaker 2: Because it has just enough milk fat to consider itself dairy but not enough– to consider itself, you know, cream. 00:36:41 Speaker 3: Ice cream. 00:36:42 Speaker 4: I think everyone's first instance with this was when they were young and you found out that Yoo-Hoo is just chocolate drink. 00:36:49 Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly. Look, it's shelf-stable, bad sign. American cheese is what? What's American cheese? 00:36:57 Speaker 4: Oil? 00:36:58 Speaker 3: No, or is it Velveeta? Yeah, you know. 00:37:01 Speaker 2: One can't call themselves cheese. Well, I'll tell you this. Some peanut butter can't call themselves peanut butter. 00:37:06 Speaker 4: Whoa! 00:37:08 Speaker 2: The horn's about to break out. Is it the peanut or is it the butter? When you go home, Skippy, Jif, and Peter Pan. 00:37:16 Speaker 4: Oh, wait. Drum roll for. 00:37:18 Speaker 3: This, dude. This is big news. This is top three. Terrible. 00:37:22 Speaker 2: So in the world of peanut butter, the idea, when you go and look at the label, if it says peanut butter, you're good. But if it says peanut spread, you are not good. And all three of those brands now fall under that. 00:37:37 Speaker 11: Yeah. 00:37:37 Speaker 2: It has to be 90% peanuts for it to be considered peanut butter, but they add palm oil to it to get the consistency spreadable right out of the jar, plus other chemicals, so they can't even call it peanut butter anymore because the content of peanuts isn't enough to consider it peanut butter. They call it peanut spread now. So what are the brands that are and are not? 00:38:01 Speaker 4: The kind you have to serve like Jack Hicks. 00:38:03 Speaker 2: The natural ones. The all-natural ones. It says, under this proposal, three peanut butter brands, Skippy, Jip, and Peter Pan, began a 20-week public hearing to argue what peanut percentage the new standard has to be. They want it to be 90. It says it's got to be no less 90% for peanuts and 55% fat. And so what they found out was they're adding palm oil to it to get the consistency right and to maintain the flavor. But the problem is they've added too much palm oil, and they've actually taken the peanut butter out of the peanut butter. 00:38:35 Speaker 4: So the natural stuff, the stuff

that you have to basically churn for a little bit like an Amish teenager. 00:38:41 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the peanut oil that appears naturally in the peanuts. So when they get peanut oil, when you buy that separately, that's what's happened. They've just pressed the oil out of the nut. 00:38:49 Speaker 3: And that's what. 00:38:50 Speaker 4: Okay, Deb. 00:38:51 Speaker 3: I had a... Okay, I know. 00:38:53 Speaker 11: Uh. 00:38:54 Speaker 4: Sorry, now it's contagious. But my peanut butter that we get, that my wife buys, we have to stir it. 00:39:03 Speaker 3: And I hate it. It sucks. 00:39:05 Speaker 4: I have to clock in so I can make a sandwich. It's not fun, but I'm good. That means I've been eating peanut butter, though. 00:39:11 Speaker 3: You've been eating actual peanut butter instead of... God only knows what they're putting in there. Peanut butter. 00:39:18 Speaker 9: Exactly. 00:39:19 Speaker 2: When manufacturers asked about adding glycerin to peanut butter and oil to fight oil separation, the FDA responded by saying that if glycerin could be added without rendering the food adulterated as its addition, we could be, we get set forth to permanently kind of add that on the label, but they didn't want to do that. 00:39:34 Speaker 4: Glycerin. 00:39:35 Speaker 3: What is it? Fight club? 00:39:39 Speaker 2: Yeah, man, it's kind of crazy when I, I was expecting to see some off brands down in there. 00:39:43 Speaker 4: They're trying to some sideways stuff, you. 00:39:44 Speaker 3: Know, but it's the big three. It is the big three. 00:39:48 Speaker 4: That makes sense. I have so much mistrust right now with anything too big. 00:39:55 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah. 00:39:56 Speaker 2: It says the Skippy website acknowledges that the FDA regulation saying, quote, natural peanut butter spreads can include additional ingredients like palm oil or other oils which are not hydrogenated. 00:40:08 Speaker 4: I think that's a. 00:40:09 Speaker 2: I think they add air into it or hydrogen into it to fluff it up and make it more pliable or whatever and turn it into a solid, I believe, right? 00:40:17 Speaker 3: I'm not sure. 00:40:17 Speaker 4: I think that's what it is. 00:40:18 Speaker 3: I think that's the bad ones, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. You don't want that. Okay. Man, that sucks, though. 00:40:24 Speaker 4: The truth will set you free, but that's a bummer finding out that the peanut butter that nobody likes is the one that's actually peanut butter. 00:40:32 Speaker 2: It says here, it says, it says, damn. Skippy, a well-known name in the peanut butter world, must label its natural peanut butter spread as such because it contains palm oil. 00:40:44 Speaker 3: And people were texting us at 77031 and saying that Jack was right. It is cheese, uh, Velveeta or Cheez Whiz. A cheese product. 00:40:53 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, no. 00:40:53 Speaker 3: Again, it's shelf-stable, guys. 00:40:58 Speaker 9: Yeah. 00:40:58 Speaker 5: If you're buying your cheese next to the pasta and not where it's cold, that's bad news for you, dude. 00:41:05 Speaker 4: It probably ain't good for you. It's got you-hoo syndrome. 00:41:07 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. Man, that really knocked you for a loop, didn't it? 00:41:11 Speaker 4: Dude, it broke my heart when I was six. I was like, what do you mean it's not milk? 00:41:14 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:41:16 Speaker 2: That's the scariest part. Then you ask the most important question. What the hell is it? 00:41:19 Speaker 3: What is it? 00:41:20 Speaker 4: And then they go, it's chocolate drink. 00:41:22 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah. 00:41:22 Speaker 3: I'll tell you another one that. 00:41:24 Speaker 2: Freaks me out. One of these pre-made kind of things that freaks me out. Man, I am not about that pre-cooked bacon. 00:41:30 Speaker 3: Who eats that? Yeah. 00:41:31 Speaker 2: Like the bacon that you take it off the shelf and apparently you just eat it right off the shelf. 00:41:35 Speaker 4: I'm like, no, we're not doing that. 00:41:36 Speaker 3: I'm so picky. I've never seen that. Oh, yeah. 00:41:39 Speaker 9: Yeah. 00:41:39 Speaker 3: I've seen it. 00:41:40 Speaker 4: Also, I've seen it, sadly, in a couple of like breakfast places as well. They just like microwave it and you're like, whoa, hold on. Even shelf-stable pudding is weird, isn't it, guys? Like when you make pudding at home, it like stays in the fridge. 00:41:54 Speaker 3: How about shelf-stable milk? 00:41:56 Speaker 4: There's that? 00:41:57 Speaker 3: I think there's powdered milk. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll get those for hurricane season because those are– that are like a can of incarnation sweetened condensed milk. That's great for coffee when you're– when you don't have any power. 00:42:09 Speaker 4: Or if you're Cuban. 00:42:11 Speaker 3: Oh, my God. Yeah, we use that all the time on the island. 00:42:13 Speaker 4: Someone talked to me about dehydrated milk, like the powdered milk. 00:42:16 Speaker 3: How does that even happen? happen. They just take the water out of it. 00:42:19 Speaker 9: Yep. 00:42:19 Speaker 3: And then you rehydrate it. 00:42:20 Speaker 12: With what? 00:42:21 Speaker 4: A Harry Potter wand? 00:42:23 Speaker 3: No. 00:42:24 Speaker 4: Dehumidify. Like what the hell? How do you make liquid into whatever? 00:42:28 Speaker 3: Hold me back. 00:42:29 Speaker 2: They just take the water out of it. Then you have the milk solids and they turn that into a powder. And then all you have to do is reintroduce water to it. 00:42:35 Speaker 3: It's not bad. 00:42:35 Speaker 2: And it comes back to life. I will tell you that when we were athletes as kids, man, our coach demanded that we consume powdered milk. Apparently there's some kind of magical protein thing that That happens when you do that process and it's like better for you or something. Like there's more calcium or something. 00:42:49 Speaker 3: I don't know. 00:42:50 Speaker 4: It was just weird though. When he started asking us to do lines of it.

Yeah. 00:42:54 Speaker 3: It's weird. 00:42:54 Speaker 7: Yeah. 00:42:55 Speaker 3: All right. 00:42:55 Speaker 12: 407-916-1041. 00:42:55 Speaker 3: Text us 77031. 00:42:55 Speaker 4: Back in a sec with more of the Jim Colbert show. Hey, JC and posse. 00:43:07 Speaker 7: Back when I was young and pretty, I was taught a trick with real peanut butter. When you buy it, you open it up, you stir it real good, and then you put it in your cupboard upside down. 00:43:18 Speaker 3: Then when you go to use it, it's ready to roll. Oh, that's a good idea. Rubber side down, y'all. 00:43:23 Speaker 4: Very smart. 00:43:24 Speaker 18: Hey, guys, congratulations on a successful event. And thanks for everybody, including Big T and you guys especially, that came over to say hi to Commander. While we found out he's a big teddy bear with people, maybe he's not so much of a dog dog. So we kind of hung out on the sidelines in the shade and just watched everything go down. But we also had a talk with Daryl Payne, and he's going to try to whip him up into shape by next year. Maybe we'll have a commander out there that can follow orders. And, Ross, you are correct. It is a full circle moment that I am proud and grateful to be a part of. 00:43:54 Speaker 3: Thank you, Handy John. 00:43:55 Speaker 10: Hey, it's Caroline. 00:43:57 Speaker 16: And I heard that you were talking about me on the show. And I think it was really cool. And Suds Pups and Pints was really fun. And getting to meet some of the people that my grandpa likes listening to on the radio was really fun. And I think it was funny when Jim fell in the tank. 00:44:20 Speaker 4: You watch your mouth. Grandpa? 00:44:22 Speaker 3: Grandpa? You watch your mouth, young lady. I need you to say your brother. 00:44:27 Speaker 4: All right, welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show. We're already at 104.1. 00:44:30 Speaker 3: I'm Jim. 00:44:30 Speaker 4: There's Deb. 00:44:31 Speaker 1: Uncle. 00:44:31 Speaker 3: Jack. 00:44:32 Speaker 9: Yep. 00:44:32 Speaker 4: And Sauce Daddy as well. 00:44:34 Speaker 3: Do whatever you want. 00:44:35 Speaker 4: Yeah, do whatever you want. 00:44:36 Speaker 3: That was a new one. All right, yeah. This is right before you say, I have a question for you guys. Yeah, no, no, no. 00:44:45 Speaker 4: I do have one a little bit later, though. 00:44:46 Speaker 3: There we go. 00:44:46 Speaker 4: I got one a little bit later. 00:44:47 Speaker 3: This one, though, have you seen yet? Learning to read the delays. 00:44:50 Speaker 4: Everybody is gearing up. 00:44:52 Speaker 2: It's not even Halloween yet, but I think we can all kind of realize this time of year as we approach Halloween, the Christmas season will be thrust upon us about a week before Halloween gets out of the. 00:45:01 Speaker 3: Stores, right? 00:45:01 Speaker 9: I know. 00:45:02 Speaker 4: It's already there. 00:45:03 Speaker 3: Hobby Lobby has been nothing but Christmas since August. 00:45:06 Speaker 4: Last week I walked into Costco full Christmas. 00:45:09 Speaker 3: Is it really? 00:45:10 Speaker 13: Yeah. 00:45:10 Speaker 3: And that's okay because I already bought my Halloween candy there the week prior. I mean, have you guys started to see the commercials from Campbell's for Thanksgiving? 00:45:19 Speaker 2: I haven't seen any seasonal stuff yet. I haven't seen anything yet. Usually it doesn't happen until the beginning of October, which is like, what, Thursday? You do watch football, right? I do watch football, yes. 00:45:28 Speaker 5: Because I know you mentioned in the past like you don't see movie commercials and stuff, and it's– what I'm noticing, it's interesting. Depending on how you consume media depends on what advertisements you're exposed to. Right, and that's the future. And it's more fragmented than ever before. So some things, so like television ads, unless you watch network television, and I know you do not watch network television. 00:45:53 Speaker 4: Usually, but you do watch football. 00:45:55 Speaker 3: I do, yes. 00:45:57 Speaker 4: So that's where you'd be exposed to a lot of advertisers. 00:46:00 Speaker 2: And I only watched like one half of football this weekend because, you know, with Saturday being taken up by Suds Pups, I didn't get a lot done. So Sunday was a work day. 00:46:07 Speaker 9: Yeah, what? 00:46:09 Speaker 5: I found out something new with the Red Zone channel because I made it to the end of the game because, of course, I was watching the end of the Raider game, then the end of that Cowboy. 00:46:18 Speaker 4: Ravens game, which was amazing. 00:46:20 Speaker 18: Insane, yeah. 00:46:20 Speaker 4: So many insane games. Yeah, yeah. 00:46:22 Speaker 5: But what they do at the end of the Red Zone channel, do you know how many touchdowns are scored on Sunday just in the afternoon games? 00:46:28 Speaker 3: Just total? 00:46:28 Speaker 9: No. 00:46:29 Speaker 4: I'll go– I'll tell you. 00:46:32 Speaker 3: 36. 67. Damn, really? 00:46:33 Speaker 9: Damn. 00:46:33 Speaker 4: And they show everyone at the end. Oh, my God, really? 00:46:37 Speaker 3: It was great. 00:46:38 Speaker 9: Really? 00:46:38 Speaker 5: It was just like 15 minutes of seeing every touchdown scored, one after the other with music. It was like, damn, that's someone's job like every day. 00:46:46 Speaker 11: Yes. 00:46:46 Speaker 4: Just clip it up. 00:46:48 Speaker 5: Every touchdown and just put it on a reel and get it ready to play at the very end. 00:46:52 Speaker 3: Clip it up, baby. 00:46:53 Speaker 2: Well, you know, the shopping season will be here soon. Who knows what it's going to look like this year? 00:46:57 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's going to be real interesting. 00:46:59 Speaker 2: Who knows what the shopping season is going to be like this year. But, you know, we know that malls are one of the hottest properties out there when it comes to shopping, right? 00:47:07 Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. You've got to bum rush the mall. 00:47:08 Speaker 2: And here in Central

Florida, I don't know about you guys who are listening out of the area, but we have one specific mall in the Central Florida area that is built for– This time of year, it's called the Mall Millennium, right? 00:47:19 Speaker 4: We call it, locally, we call it the? Rich People's Mall. The Fancy Mall, right? 00:47:24 Speaker 5: Because that's where your Nordstroms, your Louboutin, your Cartier Rolex. 00:47:29 Speaker 3: Your valet at the mall. It's one of the only malls I've ever seen where they have valet parking. 00:47:35 Speaker 4: A lot of rich tourists. 00:47:37 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes. 00:47:38 Speaker 4: A lot of Brazilians with unibrows, but on purpose. 00:47:41 Speaker 5: And it is in that area between the tourist corridor and Orlando proper. 00:47:46 Speaker 3: And do you notice that all of the car dealerships around it are Alfa Romeo, Land Rover, Mercedes. It's all your Jaguar. That's where all your high-end car dealerships are. 00:47:56 Speaker 2: In Orlando, there are two– well, now three primary neighborhoods of wealth. There's Winter Park. There is Windermere, which would be considered like your Bay Hill, Isleworth. That's a big, also an enclave of money. And I would say Lake Nona is kind of coming up there. as one of the areas where you can do that. And I've noticed that those... Celebration. 00:48:15 Speaker 3: Right, yeah, exactly. 00:48:16 Speaker 4: Well, this mall in Millennia is the fancy mall. 00:48:18 Speaker 2: It's where all the real high-dollar stores are. If you'd like to pay $ 13, 000 for a purse, head to the mall in Millennia. We got to do that. 00:48:25 Speaker 3: No, thank you. 00:48:26 Speaker 2: Got about five places that'll sell you one of those. But they have made a change for this Christmas season. And I have to tell you, I'm very interested to see how this is going to happen because they say that they're going to enforce this heavily this year. 00:48:41 Speaker 3: Really? 00:48:42 Speaker 2: For the season 2026 of shopping at the Millennium Mall, if you are under the age of 18 years old, you must be accompanied by an adult. 00:48:53 Speaker 3: Wow. 00:48:54 Speaker 2: And if you're not, they will card your ass. And if they card you and you do not have an ID that shows that you're over 18, they walk you to an exit. 00:49:04 Speaker 3: So in other words, they're just close enough to the Orlando Eye and other areas where they've had these teen takeovers. And the last thing you want is your affluent tourists being harassed by mobs of young people and then stores overtaken with mobs of young people. stealing merchandise right off the shelf. 00:49:22 Speaker 2: Already, by the way, I remember telling you guys a couple of years ago, I went out there and I was walking around shopping for my wife. And I noticed every single one of the stores had, like Deborah's saying, has a valet, a security guard out front that only allows so many people in the store. 00:49:38 Speaker 4: So not the coach, but. 00:49:39 Speaker 2: The

Louis Vuitton store, the Prada store, the Gucci store, they all had lines because they were only allowing enough people that could be watched by their employees. Like they weren't letting anybody in and you couldn't get in there near it. 00:49:53 Speaker 4: It's not just so they can watch the employees. Those bougie stores, like one of their things is that they... try to have the best shopping experience as possible. So it's not just for theft. They're also looking out for their customer of going like, hey, only let 12 customers in at a time. 00:50:12 Speaker 5: And they also realize with the stores themselves, the higher-end stores, they don't need no. 00:50:20 Speaker 4: 15-year-olds running around. 00:50:21 Speaker 3: They're not spending the kind of money that they want to spend. Anybody with 18 buying something like that, dude. They'll be escorted in by their chauffeur. 00:50:28 Speaker 2: I went into one of the stores probably about five or six years ago. My wife did something at work that was real good, and I was going to do something really, really nice for her. I was going to buy her something really, really nice. to celebrate this moment, momentous moment that she had in her life. 00:50:44 Speaker 3: Right. 00:50:45 Speaker 2: So I went, I won't tell you which one, but I went into one of these stores and the cool thing is like they say, the minute you walk in, you get. 00:50:51 Speaker 4: A personal person. 00:50:53 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:50:53 Speaker 2: You get an employee for the next hour and a half that you shop. And that, that employee walks with you and answers all your questions. It was crazy. 00:51:02 Speaker 3: Yeah. My most interesting experience was on the Champs Elysees in Paris and And wanting to go to the Chanel store. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's locked. Oh, yeah, you got to show your W-2 to get in. The guy guarding the door just looks you up and down. Oh, he just does a judgment scan? He does a judgment scan. And if you don't look like you could come in and spend money, they don't let you in. 00:51:24 Speaker 4: They say, look at you and your broke-ass shoes. 00:51:27 Speaker 9: Right. 00:51:28 Speaker 3: I do not think you could come into my store. While you watch the Arabic girls head-to-toe burqa, head-to-toe burqa go right into the Chanel store, not even carrying a purse. 00:51:42 Speaker 4: And their band has double Cartiers. Have no more jokes in this situation. You'll pay less, cannot come in here, because we pay more. 00:51:53 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, man. 00:51:54 Speaker 4: That's crazy. 00:51:54 Speaker 3: Isn't it? But the ball plenty is like saying, no, we're not going to do it. No, we're not playing that, dude. 00:51:58 Speaker 2: No, you can't do that at other malls. If you did that at Altamont, nobody goes. And that entire mall has people under the age of 20. 00:52:04 Speaker 3: I'll throw this out here. 00:52:06 Speaker 4: I'll give the young people even some more benefit of the doubt here. I don't even

think it's like, oh, my God, there's these. It definitely is, dude. Teen takeovers is one of many reasons why. 00:52:19 Speaker 3: But it's also like they are broke. 00:52:23 Speaker 4: I legit see that policy, and I hear one fun– not fun way, but one way of getting rid of broke entities out of that mall without hurting anyone's feelings. Yeah, this is like a homeowners association saying, no, you cannot park in the yard. 00:52:38 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah. 00:52:39 Speaker 3: A little bit. 00:52:41 Speaker 5: Take your Corolla down the street. You cannot park in your yard here, buddy. 00:52:45 Speaker 4: I understand teenagers suck, and especially when they're in mass, but they're not spending money, and that, I think, would be the number one reason why this would be implemented. 00:52:54 Speaker 2: I've got to tell you, this feels like a blinking powder keg to me. I don't know about you guys. But the first time one of these rental security guys rolls up to somebody and says, yo, man, let me see your ID. And he's like, no, I'm not going to do that. And then that guy tries to walk a guy to the door to get him out of the mall. 00:53:12 Speaker 4: That's going to be an interesting confrontation. 00:53:14 Speaker 19: Yeah. 00:53:14 Speaker 4: And 16-year-olds are known for being sensible. 00:53:17 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. All they want to do is comply. Yeah. 00:53:22 Speaker 9: All right. 00:53:22 Speaker 8: 407-916-1041. 00:53:22 Speaker 3: Text us 77031. 00:53:23 Speaker 4: Emily, the movie girl next. Oh, what a day! You know, your favorite tea bag. 00:53:41 Speaker 13: And today we raise a beer to y'all. Because Studs Pops and Pints was a blast. And I'm proud of myself. I didn't say one curse word in the dunk tank. 00:53:53 Speaker 3: You didn't. But. 00:53:54 Speaker 13: Trust me, a lot of things got drowned out underwater. 00:53:58 Speaker 3: Have a good one, y'all. All right, buddy. 00:54:01 Speaker 8: Thanks. 00:54:01 Speaker 4: Oh, no. 00:54:02 Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for joining us, buddy. We appreciate your help. 00:54:05 Speaker 9: 407-916-1041. 00:54:05 Speaker 4: Text us 77031. I'm Jim. There's Deb. 00:54:07 Speaker 3: Hello. Jack. And Ross. And the beautiful Emily. 00:54:13 Speaker 4: Her name is Emily. She likes movies. 00:54:18 Speaker 3: She's a girl. 00:54:18 Speaker 1: It's time for Emily the Movie Girl on The Jim Colbert Show. 00:54:28 Speaker 3: Oh, look at her. 00:54:29 Speaker 11: So adorable. 00:54:29 Speaker 4: How are you? 00:54:30 Speaker 10: I'm amazing. 00:54:30 Speaker 4: How are you? 00:54:31 Speaker 3: I'm amazing as well. How was your weekend? 00:54:33 Speaker 4: I haven't seen you in a couple weeks. 00:54:35 Speaker 10: Well, I was here last week. 00:54:36 Speaker 4: Yeah, you were. 00:54:38 Speaker 3: I haven't seen you in a week. 00:54:39 Speaker 4: It's just Jim's. 00:54:41 Speaker 3: Not here right now. 00:54:44 Speaker 10: Not remembering me very well. 00:54:45 Speaker 3: Okay. 00:54:45 Speaker 4: I don't remember anything very well. How are you doing? I'm doing great. 00:54:48 Speaker 6: How are you? 00:54:49 Speaker 4: Jim, good weekend. 00:54:50 Speaker 10: I did. 00:54:52 Speaker 4: I did. 00:54:52 Speaker 10: I went to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party on Friday. 00:54:55 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:54:55 Speaker 10: With a couple of girlfriends, which was a lot of fun. We dressed up as American Girl dolls. 00:54:59 Speaker 4: That's super funny. 00:55:00 Speaker 7: It was. 00:55:01 Speaker 10: Do you not? You don't know what that is. 00:55:03 Speaker 3: I know what. 00:55:03 Speaker 4: American Girl dolls are. 00:55:04 Speaker 12: Yeah. 00:55:05 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:55:05 Speaker 3: Big, tall dolls, very expensive. 00:55:07 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah. 00:55:08 Speaker 10: It's true. 00:55:08 Speaker 4: Made in China. 00:55:10 Speaker 10: Well, I never could afford one as a kid, but they just re-released all the OG American Girl dolls earlier this year for, I want to say it's like their 45th anniversary or something. So we all decided, okay, we're going to go as American Girl does, and we brought the dolls with us. 00:55:24 Speaker 3: It was a lot of fun. That's super funny. 00:55:25 Speaker 2: A really interesting story in Newsweek today about Disney adults, which we're going to talk about a little bit later. 00:55:32 Speaker 3: Oh, I don't think she likes that word. 00:55:35 Speaker 10: You know, I'd be curious to see what you have to say about it. 00:55:38 Speaker 2: No, it's not me that has to say anything about it. It was very interesting because we deal with this all the time. We've talked about Disney adults before. I've just not seen them talked about in national media before. Today was the first story I've seen about them. Emily, you're correct. He has a lot to say about it. All right. Emily drops by on Mondays to review movies. Tell us what is good or bad out there. What do you have for us this week? 00:55:58 Speaker 10: Oh, I'm really excited to talk about the one big movie that I went to go see in theaters this last week. It's Primetime. 00:56:05 Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. 00:56:06 Speaker 11: Yeah. 00:56:06 Speaker 4: So this is the Chris Hansen story, right? 00:56:08 Speaker 10: Yes. 00:56:09 Speaker 2: Now, the funny thing is, one of the wrinkles with this is, I think until like yesterday or the day before, Chris Hansen hadn't seen the story or hadn't seen the movie, right? 00:56:18 Speaker 10: He hadn't been approached about this at all. 00:56:22 Speaker 2: Matter of fact, they went about it secretly so he wouldn't find out about it. And I hear this is one of Pattinson's greatest performances. He's supposed to be amazing. 00:56:30 Speaker 3: In this movie. 00:56:30 Speaker 10: He I can totally agree with that. I think out of everything I've seen of his even just this year, it may not be my absolute favorite. I really enjoyed what he was doing in the drama, but I feel like the drama is something I'm more likely to revisit this

movie. I probably won't revisit, but it doesn't deter from his performance. 00:56:48 Speaker 3: Right, right, right. 00:56:48 Speaker 10: Which is I mean, he's so unhinged in this. It's crazy. 00:56:51 Speaker 15: Right, right, right. 00:56:53 Speaker 2: And that's supposed to be a true story, right? One of the reasons he did not like the idea of this coming out is it kind of unveils a stuff about his personality that people really didn't see for the show because the show is to catch a predator, right? 00:57:03 Speaker 19: Correct. 00:57:03 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:57:04 Speaker 2: So he became like a pop culture hero, kind of antihero, kind of weird position in the world. Then he kind of went sideways a little bit and then kind of dropped off the world. And the next thing you know, we see this movie about it. 00:57:14 Speaker 10: I think what a lot of people are. taking away from this, and a lot of this just has to do with digesting a film like this, is that it's a lot of gray area here. It's not trying to paint Chris Hansen as a crazy villain, and it's not trying to sympathize with predators at all. There's something really more nuanced that they're saying here, and I think people just aren't necessarily willing to grapple with some of the issues that they're trying to bring up. But I don't necessarily take it as this is what happened. Like, it's very clear the way this movie is presented. It's pretty fantastical at times. 00:57:51 Speaker 3: Right, yeah, yeah. 00:57:52 Speaker 4: But they did have a tragedy. 00:57:53 Speaker 2: That's kind of part of the movie is like they, once he busted one of these guys, one of those guys committed suicide, right? 00:57:59 Speaker 10: Yeah, and it was an assistant DA. 00:58:02 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:58:03 Speaker 10: Yeah, so it was like a very high-profile person that they were trying to catch. 00:58:07 Speaker 5: And the premise is that the pressure from the network, they put them up against loss. It's in prime time. And the pressure from the network was like, no, you got to be bigger. 00:58:16 Speaker 3: You need more. We need more. Right, yeah, yeah. 00:58:17 Speaker 4: And so there was pressure to catch, you know. Bigger and bigger fish. Exactly. I saw the movie Friday Night with my dog. 00:58:24 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:58:25 Speaker 10: What did you think? 00:58:25 Speaker 5: I really liked it. I think Pattinson is great. He's a monster, dude. 00:58:28 Speaker 3: That guy is amazing. He is really good. 00:58:31 Speaker 5: And it's funny, talking to my daughter on the way out, she goes, she gave it three, but she's like, I wouldn't see it again. But I mean, because Resident Evil, she saw twice in one weekend. So she goes, I wouldn't see this one again, but I liked it. 00:58:47 Speaker 10: For sure. 00:58:48 Speaker 4: Yeah. I saw one behind the scenes thing of like making of the movie and the director, I believe it was, was talking about how there's actually a couple of shots that are just

in straight up 480p that are in the final cut of the film. And that that was such a creative choice of that. So many people behind the scenes and making movies get it. 00:59:10 Speaker 3: Addicted to her. 00:59:11 Speaker 4: 8K, 16K resolution, but he bent 480p to his creative taste. And it was really, really cool just to see how he went about going like, I really liked the shot. I love the graininess. It's making the final cut. 00:59:25 Speaker 2: So Emily, did it have a good beginning, middle and end? Because a lot of these stories don't, they kind of get lost in one part of that. 00:59:31 Speaker 10: I think in what I took away from it, yes. But it didn't follow the story that I was hoping to follow. Like, I wanted to see the downfall of the show, and you don't see that. 00:59:41 Speaker 9: Oh, really? 00:59:42 Speaker 3: No. 00:59:43 Speaker 10: It's in a very specific time in the show when they're literally about to get their primetime slot. And then it leads into the third act, which is the DA committing suicide on camera. 00:59:54 Speaker 9: Yeah. 00:59:54 Speaker 3: Oh, wow. 00:59:54 Speaker 8: Really? 00:59:55 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:59:56 Speaker 10: And that episode still ended up getting aired. 00:59:59 Speaker 3: Wow. 00:59:59 Speaker 9: Really? 01:00:00 Speaker 10: Yeah. 01:00:00 Speaker 9: Wow. 01:00:01 Speaker 3: Yeah. 01:00:01 Speaker 10: Really crazy. 01:00:02 Speaker 9: Yeah. 01:00:03 Speaker 5: The, uh, there was just so much in this thing that the, the ending, what I missed at the ending was, and it was an eight 24 film. Typically a movie like this, they'd say they kind of recap, Oh, the show ended up going off the air here. And they didn't give you any of that. No, And also there was the one kid that they followed. He was the decoy Dan. He was a little influence on it, but it was based off an Esquire magazine article. But my favorite behind-the-scenes fact about this one is the director got the idea, or maybe it was the writer, got the idea to do it after his partner had a cameo, did one of those cameos with Chris Hansen. 01:00:47 Speaker 4: Paid to have Chris Hansen do a cameo. 01:00:50 Speaker 8: Oh. 01:00:50 Speaker 5: And then Chris Hansen started pitching this guy ideas, like, you know, like film ideas or TV ideas. 01:00:58 Speaker 4: On a cameo? 01:01:00 Speaker 3: Yeah. Crazy. 01:01:01 Speaker 5: And then the director was like, I got to find out what's going on in this guy's head and then finds out. 01:01:09 Speaker 3: More about him and then ends up making this movie. 01:01:11 Speaker 1: Wow. 01:01:12 Speaker 4: Yeah. 01:01:13 Speaker 3: Emily, no one. Oh God. All right. Let me phrase this carefully. 01:01:17 Speaker 4: No one. Please don't. 01:01:18 Speaker 3: No one. 01:01:20 Speaker 4: No one is challenging the piss poor, monstrous ethics of any predator, right? But does the movie also maybe bring up maybe the somewhat controversialness of that? Like create empathy? No, not empathy, but does it challenge maybe the ethics of platforming it as entertainment of catching these people? 01:01:42 Speaker 10: Yes, 100%. I really like, so like the three main people that you follow in this are Chris Hansen's or Rob Pattinson's character, his producer who's played by, I can't remember her name off the top of my head. And then Skylar goes on to who plays decoy Dan. So three very different perspectives, but two out of the three, and I'll let you guess which two you realize how exploitative the entertainment industry is. And again, I'm not saying that this is fact just because this is loosely based off a true story, but it does have some very interesting commentary, especially given like there are very blatant things throughout the film that That showed that this is very much in a post-9-11 world where people are so hell-bent on catching bad people and exposing them in this very embarrassing way and exposing them quickly. 01:02:31 Speaker 4: Shame, yeah, using shame as a weapon kind of thing? 01:02:33 Speaker 3: Yes. Wow. 01:02:34 Speaker 10: But just because– and you realize with a TV, there's a certain schedule. There's all these different– things that have to get in line in order to catch these people, but they're not doing it in the correct way. 01:02:45 Speaker 3: Wow. 01:02:46 Speaker 10: So the protocol was bad. protocol was bad to the point where a lot of these real, uh, real things ended up getting thrown out in when it's brought to court because it was just held. It was taken care of so poorly. 01:02:59 Speaker 8: Wow. 01:02:59 Speaker 4: That's crazy. Yeah. Well, what'd you give it then? 01:03:01 Speaker 10: I gave it three and a half out of five stars. No, four, four stars. 01:03:05 Speaker 3: Yeah. 01:03:06 Speaker 4: Was the dialogue good? 01:03:07 Speaker 2: Because with movies like this, you feel that the dialogue has to be very good, uh, and very definitive to create these characters and move them forward and tell this story, uh, along with the images, because you kind of understand what the idea of the show is going in. You may even have, like yourself, created a little idea of what the movie's going to be like before you go in, and I'm glad it kind of breaks some norms. 01:03:25 Speaker 4: I like it when it does that for me. 01:03:27 Speaker 10: I would be really interested, especially given, like, I'm sure you watched the original show. 01:03:32 Speaker 3: Yeah, of course. I mean, everybody did. 01:03:33 Speaker 10: Well, yeah, I mean... But newer generations coming, not necessarily. 01:03:38 Speaker 4: I'm talking about my age group. 01:03:39 Speaker 3: Everybody watching. 01:03:40 Speaker 10: This is a very big Gen X, early millennial type of show that everyone is watching. 01:03:46 Speaker 4: Real fast, I'm underneath the impression that that show was one of the first. And granted, it is the worst action and activity that one can go about. But it also seems like one of the first times that you got to see people being filmed without their

knowledge. 01:04:03 Speaker 3: Yeah. 01:04:03 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, there was a show back in the day that was a hidden camera show. 01:04:06 Speaker 3: Hidden camera? 01:04:07 Speaker 4: It was like a prank show. It wasn't like this. 01:04:09 Speaker 2: It was like, oh, you know, your car didn't get repoed. 01:04:11 Speaker 4: It's not like this. It's like, no, you didn't have sex with a 12-year-old. You're not going to jail. It was none of that. 01:04:15 Speaker 5: I mean, this was actual repercussion. Yeah, on candid camera, you would get them to sign a release to do it. 01:04:22 Speaker 3: Like this. 01:04:23 Speaker 5: And it was like, they're not the police, but the police are involved to arrest them when they come out. 01:04:28 Speaker 3: Right, yeah, yeah. 01:04:29 Speaker 9: Wild, wild. 01:04:29 Speaker 3: When they try to run, they get tackled. 01:04:31 Speaker 5: They were walking this weird line. By the way, Merrick Weaver is the name of the actor. 01:04:35 Speaker 10: Oh, Merrick Weaver, yeah. 01:04:36 Speaker 5: Yeah, and she's also in Severance, which I absolutely love. And she's been in a bunch of stuff, too. All right, what else you got for us this week? 01:04:43 Speaker 10: So I, on streaming, watched a rom-com. So I've said this before and I'll. 01:04:49 Speaker 3: Say it again. 01:04:50 Speaker 5: I like how you smile when you say it, as if to know that you think this offends me when you watch rom-coms or the fact that you like them. 01:04:57 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're great. 01:04:58 Speaker 4: You love them. 01:04:58 Speaker 12: Yeah. 01:04:59 Speaker 3: Okay. 01:04:59 Speaker 10: I'm excited to talk about it. 01:05:01 Speaker 3: Let's do it. 01:05:01 Speaker 10: I'm giving it air time. No, but I watched Love Hypothesis. 01:05:05 Speaker 11: What? 01:05:06 Speaker 10: Now, have you not heard of Love Hypothesis? 01:05:09 Speaker 3: What a title. 01:05:11 Speaker 10: So this is based off of a book that is quite literally based off of fan fiction of Reylo. Do you know what Reylo is? That's... So it's Rey and Kylo Ren. 01:05:25 Speaker 4: Okay, there you go. 01:05:26 Speaker 10: I do not know that. That's a fan name. 01:05:29 Speaker 3: Reylo. I'm glad you stopped me. Let's just say that. I am so glad you stopped me. 01:05:34 Speaker 10: I should have just let you struggle. 01:05:36 Speaker 5: I was about to make Ross's month. I'm so glad you cut me off. 01:05:40 Speaker 4: Go ahead. 01:05:41 Speaker 3: You don't even know what I was about to say. 01:05:42 Speaker 4: I do not know what that is. 01:05:45 Speaker 10: But yeah, so this is based off of fan fiction. but it plays on these tropes of like sort of grumpy sunshine. And it's about this girl that's in a doctorate program. And she ends up having this sort of fake dating situation with a doctor at her university to sort of help them both out. But it's really fun. It starts Lily Reinhart and Tom Bateman. Tom Bateman, I haven't seen in anything else, but he is And this is what

makes it so ironic that this got made and streamed is that Tom Bateman is married to Daisy Ridley in real life. 01:06:21 Speaker 3: Oh, all right. 01:06:22 Speaker 4: That's Ray from Star Wars. 01:06:23 Speaker 8: And that's Ray. 01:06:24 Speaker 3: Yeah. 01:06:25 Speaker 10: And Lily Reinhart is just adorable in this. I love her. 01:06:29 Speaker 4: What did she do other that I would know her from? 01:06:32 Speaker 10: She's in that TV show. 01:06:34 Speaker 2: She's done something else, and I know her from something else because I remember the name. Lily's one of my favorite names. So I remember the name Lily. 01:06:41 Speaker 3: Riverdale. 01:06:41 Speaker 4: Riverdale, that's it. Yeah, my wife was watching Riverdale for a little bit. 01:06:44 Speaker 10: Yeah, so she's... veronica and that no betty yeah betty betty uh she's. 01:06:50 Speaker 4: Betty i only know that because i'm on the wikipedia page uh throwing this out here you are you know you know a lot about rom-coms who is like the biggest like heartthrob for both men and women right now like in that rom-com community Who's even doing them anymore? Well, I mean, okay, so it's going to be weird when I say a dude's name first, but I don't care. I'll die on this hill. Elordi, right? He's like one of them. 01:07:18 Speaker 3: Jacob Elordi. 01:07:19 Speaker 10: You know, he is a heartthrob, but he's like, aside from his roots and doing that Netflix movie that he did, The Kissing Booth. 01:07:27 Speaker 3: Yeah. 01:07:28 Speaker 10: Like he has very much stepped away from that since then. I guess Wuthering Heights kind of, but like that's not a rom-com. 01:07:34 Speaker 3: No, it wasn't. 01:07:35 Speaker 10: You know, so, but I would say he is a heartthrob. Off the top of my head, girl-wise, I think Emily Bader would be a really good example. She was in People We Meet on Vacation, which was like a big Netflix rom-com that came out earlier this year. And I loved that. It's also based off of a book. 01:07:51 Speaker 4: And didn't they try to turn that one guy from Top Gun? 01:07:54 Speaker 10: Oh, Glenn Powell. 01:07:55 Speaker 2: Yeah, didn't they try to turn him into a rom-com guy? And it doesn't work for him for some reason. He's not adorable, is he? 01:08:02 Speaker 3: He doesn't seem... He's very funny. 01:08:04 Speaker 18: Yeah. 01:08:05 Speaker 10: I'll give him that. 01:08:05 Speaker 2: Yeah, but he doesn't come off like one of those guys. Those guys need to be a little doughier. Like Hugh Granish. 01:08:11 Speaker 9: Doughier? 01:08:11 Speaker 10: Doughier, yeah. 01:08:11 Speaker 3: What do you mean by Doughier? 01:08:13 Speaker 5: The rom-com guys aren't supposed to be your shredded rip dudes. 01:08:17 Speaker 10: Well, come on now. 01:08:19 Speaker 2: Those are hunky guys for lead roles. Rom-com dudes are supposed to be like dudes. 01:08:23 Speaker 3: You know, you can just. 01:08:24 Speaker 4: More sensitive? 01:08:26 Speaker 11: Maybe. 01:08:26 Speaker 6: I don't know, Jack. 01:08:27 Speaker 3: Are you saying dad bod? What are you saying, Doughier? Well, your rom-com heroes are Hugh Grant, right? I guess. 01:08:34 Speaker 10: At one time. Yeah, that was. 01:08:36 Speaker 5: But that's what I'm saying is like that kind of guy to me is a rom-com guy. 01:08:40 Speaker 4: I mean, Andrew Lincoln did it for a little bit too, I guess. 01:08:42 Speaker 10: Okay. This is not necessarily rom-com, but if you think in Heartthrob, Bridgerton. 01:08:46 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. 01:08:47 Speaker 10: All the men in Bridgerton. But the thing is when it gets to their season, they have their glow up. Have you ever seen an episode of Bridgerton? I've seen clips of Bridgerton. 01:08:55 Speaker 3: I know what you're talking about. 01:08:57 Speaker 4: Do I look like a guy who would... I'm going to throw this out here. I'm going to put you on the spot here a little bit, Jen. We just established it not too long ago. What is Raylo? I'm going to plead the fifth on that. 01:09:14 Speaker 10: What? 01:09:16 Speaker 4: You have the memory of a goldfish. 01:09:18 Speaker 3: Reylo is the Star Wars thing. 01:09:20 Speaker 5: What he wants me to do, he wants me to admit what I thought it was. 01:09:26 Speaker 3: No, that's what he wants. 01:09:27 Speaker 4: No, it's Star Wars, and then, but it's Star. 01:09:30 Speaker 3: Wars, and then again. Kylo. Kylo Grinn. Kylo Grinn. You got it. 01:09:34 Speaker 13: Bravo. 01:09:35 Speaker 4: You know what? 01:09:37 Speaker 3: You nailed it. 01:09:38 Speaker 2: He's the space guy that smiles a lot, fights with a light sword. 01:09:40 Speaker 4: You know. 01:09:41 Speaker 3: There you go. 01:09:42 Speaker 4: A light sword. I got a movie for you. 01:09:44 Speaker 16: Oh, for me? 01:09:45 Speaker 2: Light sword is going to make me break my computer. This weekend, we're always tooling around looking for something, right? Saw a movie I think is very good, and it's got a big-time actress in it. I've never seen the guy before, and the actress is Rachel McAdams, I believe. 01:10:03 Speaker 4: Love her. 01:10:04 Speaker 3: Oh, I love her. I have a crush on her. 01:10:06 Speaker 4: Have you ever seen the movie Send Help? 01:10:08 Speaker 12: Yes. 01:10:09 Speaker 3: Dude, how did you feel about that? I loved it. I thought it was amazing. How good was that? Yeah. 01:10:14 Speaker 4: To have a weird kind of horror. 01:10:16 Speaker 3: It was horror-esque. 01:10:17 Speaker 10: It's Sam Raimi. 01:10:18 Speaker 3: I know. 01:10:19 Speaker 4: He was like a big horror guy. 01:10:20 Speaker 3: He wrote it. 01:10:21 Speaker 8: Yeah. 01:10:22 Speaker 4: He wrote it and directed it. It was amazing, dude. 92% on Rotten Tomatoes. Send help. 01:10:28 Speaker 2: Would you agree one of the best premises for a movie for something like that that you've seen in a while? 01:10:34 Speaker 10: I saw it earlier this year, and it definitely left an impression on me. It's not the type of movie I would go to see. But Rachel McAdams got me in there.

And then, oh my gosh, who is her male counterpart? He's fantastic too in it. But they match each other so well, and it's so campy. 01:10:51 Speaker 11: It is. 01:10:51 Speaker 10: So if you just get past the premise being the stupidest thing in your life, you're like, this is really fun. 01:10:57 Speaker 2: And that's what you have to do. For me, movies, it is suspending that belief a little bit, depending on the content. And going into the movie, I had no idea. I actually thought it was going to be a horror movie about being stranded on an island and getting attacked by a bunch of other stuff. 01:11:09 Speaker 3: And it was what? Way different than that. It was really, really good and fun. 01:11:13 Speaker 4: Fun fact about the movie Sent Help, that's getting huge reviews. It came out earlier this year, but the music was done by Danny Elfman. 01:11:21 Speaker 3: Danny Elfman. 01:11:21 Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. 01:11:22 Speaker 3: I didn't even know that. 01:11:23 Speaker 5: He is on a roll when it comes to movie magic. Dylan O'Brien was the male lead in that. 01:11:29 Speaker 4: Yeah. 01:11:30 Speaker 10: I would venture to say he's not quite in the rom-com realm, but he is a heartthrob, I think, at least amongst millennials, because he was a big in those like YA movie remake things that were happening. He was a big actor in that. 01:11:42 Speaker 2: He's got an Adam Scott in Step Brothers vibe in this movie a little bit. Kind of a douchey business bro kind of feel, you know? 01:11:49 Speaker 9: Yeah. 01:11:50 Speaker 2: Like, me and the boys are going to take the private plane to play some golf, you know, while we do a deal or something like that. 01:11:54 Speaker 4: And it's cool to see Rachel McAdams, like, I'm just going to sound kind of aggressive, but, like, she's still smoking hot, but she's not playing the smoking hot girl in this movie. 01:12:03 Speaker 3: She's not a leading lady. 01:12:04 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah. 01:12:04 Speaker 2: She's playing, like, a numbers girl in an office, like a nerd that nobody really kind of likes. It's a really cool movie. You want to check that out. What else do you have for us before we get out of here? 01:12:12 Speaker 11: Uh. 01:12:13 Speaker 10: Well, those are the only two movies I saw this week, but I don't know if you've seen anything in the movie news about Sabrina Carpenter and Margaret Qualley getting cast in the new Fred Astaire biopic. 01:12:23 Speaker 4: I heard about it, yeah. 01:12:24 Speaker 10: I'm so excited about it. I don't know if you know this about Margaret Qualley, but she is a fantastic dancer. 01:12:31 Speaker 4: She's the daughter of? Somebody super famous. 01:12:34 Speaker 10: Two very famous people. 01:12:36 Speaker 3: Andy McDowell? 01:12:37 Speaker 7: Yes. 01:12:37 Speaker 2: Yeah, Andy McDowell and her husband. Yeah, because she was also in the movie, the Quentin Tarantino movie. 01:12:43 Speaker 10: She was in a lot. She's been in a lot lately. 01:12:46 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 01:12:46 Speaker 4: The last something, last Hollywood or whatever. Substance. 01:12:49 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. 01:12:50 Speaker 10: Oh, yeah, she was in The Substance as well. 01:12:51 Speaker 3: Yeah. 01:12:52 Speaker 10: But I'm very excited, especially to see Sabrina Carpenter, because I feel like a lot of people now have almost pigeonholed her to– Like, oh, well, you're a musician now and you do like the sexy thing, the sexy thing. And it's like, well, no, she was a Disney Channel star and she's literally been a Broadway performer. 01:13:09 Speaker 4: She's painfully talented. 01:13:11 Speaker 10: Absolutely. So I'm really excited to see her in this. Like, I've never seen her dance like that. 01:13:17 Speaker 5: I'm sad. 01:13:18 Speaker 10: I'm really excited. 01:13:19 Speaker 3: It's interesting. 01:13:19 Speaker 2: I saw the VMAs last night, the MTV Video Music Awards. 01:13:23 Speaker 4: She was on stage next to Madonna. 01:13:25 Speaker 10: That was so awkward. 01:13:27 Speaker 2: And it was really awkward for the record. Her whole thing, Sabrina Carpenter's whole thing is being like five feet tall. 01:13:32 Speaker 4: She's five. 01:13:33 Speaker 3: Madonna's five-five, and they were the same height. Yeah, they're not. 01:13:36 Speaker 10: Well, maybe it had something to do with heels. 01:13:38 Speaker 5: She had heels on long dress. I was going back. I was checking that out. I was looking up how tall they are. 01:13:44 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 01:13:44 Speaker 4: What do you have for us next week? 01:13:46 Speaker 10: Next week, I'm going to talk about Verity, which is a new psychological thriller, Colleen Hoover book, starring Anne Hathaway. Very excited for that. 01:13:54 Speaker 4: That looks interesting. 01:13:55 Speaker 10: Yeah, for sure. And then I also am going to talk about Hatchan Shake Your Booty. 01:14:00 Speaker 3: Okay. 01:14:01 Speaker 10: Which is a Japanese film. 01:14:03 Speaker 3: All right. 01:14:03 Speaker 10: That is really fun. It has some musical elements to it. 01:14:06 Speaker 4: All right, nice. 01:14:06 Speaker 9: Yeah. 01:14:07 Speaker 3: Great job this week, man. 01:14:08 Speaker 12: Thanks. 01:14:08 Speaker 3: Good luck for Emily, guys. 01:14:09 Speaker 19: Yay! 01:14:09 Speaker 12: Yay! 01:14:12 Speaker 4: Where can they find your podcast and hear your wonderful podcast? 01:14:14 Speaker 6: Yes. 01:14:15 Speaker 10: Okay.

What's up, dude? 01:15:08 Speaker 6: Yep, just left Altamont a little while ago. Heading home back beachside. Fantastic weekend up in St. Clair Shores, Michigan. Really stoked to hear about the event. 01:15:19 Speaker 4: Yeah, Big T had. 01:15:20 Speaker 6: Texted me this morning, and I knew it was going to be a success. We still missed you, but man, we had a stellar weekend. Oh, gas prices. 01:15:30 Speaker 11: Hmm. 01:15:30 Speaker 4: I saw a 467 up there. 01:15:31 Speaker 19: Yep. 01:15:31 Speaker 4: Aloha. 01:15:36 Speaker 19: You know, you could have waited for decent weather for the event this past weekend. 01:15:40 Speaker 3: Yeah. Just kidding. It was perfect. 01:15:42 Speaker 19: Everything about it. Ross, I finally figured something out. I was chatting with you with Rockwell the Bulldog. 01:15:48 Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. 01:15:48 Speaker 19: And I asked about your kid, how he's doing. And then I said, one or two? And you said, one. But we'll see. And I thought, that's an odd thing to say about your kid. I was talking about his age. 01:16:03 Speaker 9: Oh. 01:16:03 Speaker 3: You were talking about quantity. 01:16:05 Speaker 9: Yes. 01:16:06 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was, yeah. 01:16:08 Speaker 5: All right, welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show. I'm Jim, there's Deb. 01:16:12 Speaker 3: Hello. 01:16:13 Speaker 4: And Ross, I'll hear from you today. I'll get better with people. 01:16:18 Speaker 2: We only have a short segment because we ran Emily way long, but I want to take this time to remind you guys we're going to be at... at Margaritaville, the Sunset Walk, the Promenade there this weekend for our big Best Of Challenge. Every year in October, we do this big gig. Twelve restaurants from the Promenade there will gather together and offer you one of their best bites. That's why we call this the Signature Edition. And this is an amazing event. You pay $ 20 for your tasting ticket, and you walk around, and everybody has a little taste for you. 01:16:47 Speaker 4: And it's not actually a little taste. 01:16:48 Speaker 2: It's a good little-sized bite of whatever they think is the best thing they have. 01:16:52 Speaker 3: I haven't seen a person yet that has been able to eat at all 12 restaurants. And we get some pretty big dudes that take that as a personal challenge. It is a challenge. 01:17:01 Speaker 2: We had a group last year come out. It was like nine dudes and a girl. And they were going around, and they were challenging each other to finish everything that was being offered. And, man, they go hard for about six stops. And then they don't go so hard for about eight stops. And then by about ten stops, you can see them kind of, oh, God, they're chilling out a little bit. 01:17:22 Speaker 4: They start getting that itis. 01:17:24 Speaker 2: They're making some room. This is such a fun event, and again, for only $ 20. Now, the tickets are limited. Last time I talked to Ray, we're about halfway there. So you definitely want to grab your tickets before this Friday so you. 01:17:35 Speaker 3: Can get in and have a good time with us. 01:17:36 Speaker 5: So you think about it, it starts at noon, goes to about 3, and then we do the awards and stuff. 01:17:40 Speaker 4: So in those three hours. 01:17:42 Speaker 3: 12 restaurants. 01:17:44 Speaker 5: That's every 15 minutes you could have food throughout the entire thing. 01:17:49 Speaker 4: That's right. For three straight hours. 01:17:50 Speaker 2: And the cool thing is, is like, okay, so if you just wanted to come out and hang out, much like, you know, what we had this last weekend, it doesn't cost you anything to come out and just hang out, right? If you want to eat food, that's where they get you for the $ 20 tasting test. 01:18:01 Speaker 3: But it's only $ 20. 20 bucks. $ 20, 12 restaurants. Where else are you going to get a deal like that? 01:18:07 Speaker 4: We'll be out there having a great time. So many places to get a great drink. 01:18:10 Speaker 2: Afterwards, there's a car show, live music. It is one of our premier events for the year because, again, not only are you getting a great deal for the money you're spending, you're just hanging out at a wonderful place, having a great time. The parking is free. It's easy to park. You literally park a walk three minutes, and you are right in the middle of the action. 01:18:27 Speaker 4: So much fun. That's all happening this Saturday. 01:18:30 Speaker 2: But the other thing is we're broadcasting live from Margaritaville this Friday night. 01:18:34 Speaker 4: That's something new. That is new. 01:18:36 Speaker 2: And the reason I want to tell you that is because we'd love to have a crowd come out. Look, if you're coming out this weekend anyway, they're offering room deals.

Yeah, we already picked those last week. How good is this event, buddy? 01:20:12 Speaker 3: How much fun is it? 01:20:13 Speaker 4: It's always good, and I always get the mojitos. 01:20:15 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 01:20:16 Speaker 3: That's what I do. 01:20:16 Speaker 4: We actually get there early and pile up right there at that bar. Estefans. 01:20:21 Speaker 3: Estefans. 01:20:22 Speaker 2: We pile up right there on that corner so we can see the stage and see everything. Get a little shade there and just start ordering mojito after mojito. They destroy them. You know, it happens every year because they put a cane of sugar in the mojito, and then you have two, and then you think it's the straw. 01:20:39 Speaker 3: Yeah. 01:20:41 Speaker 4: Then it's not, and you take a sip out of a non-hold object. It's a look, and it's embarrassing. 01:20:47 Speaker 3: Suck harder! Yeah. 01:20:50 Speaker 4: All right, 407-916-1041. Text us at 77031. 01:20:53 Speaker 2: I teased that Disney adult story from Newsweek, but I'll pay it off next. 01:20:58 Speaker 9: Oh! 01:21:01 Speaker 3: Hey, guys. 01:21:05 Speaker 8: Chuck up in Michigan. 01:21:06 Speaker 3: Yeah, I got gas. 01:21:07 Speaker 13: Friday. 01:21:08 Speaker 7: I had about a quarter of a tank left, so I figured I'd better get it quick. 01:21:12 Speaker 3: 88 bucks. 01:21:15 Speaker 16: It was shocking. 01:21:18 Speaker 8: I don't remember paying that much when I had my full-size truck. 01:21:22 Speaker 3: Same. 01:21:26 Speaker 4: Yeah, I drive like a little Ford Ranger. 01:21:28 Speaker 2: I think it's got like a 16, 18-gallon tank or whatever. It cost me $ 86. Literally $ 86 both times I filled up over the last two times. 01:21:37 Speaker 3: I have to fill up tonight. Please pray for me. 01:21:40 Speaker 2: I think I have about a little bit more than a quarter of a tank. So I think I'll probably have to fill up tomorrow to the tune of probably. 01:21:47 Speaker 3: Another $ 85 or $ 86. It's getting easier. I saw a really funny Instagram. 01:21:53 Speaker 4: I'm at the tears. 01:21:55 Speaker 3: Funny Instagram post that said arm, leg, organ, and then for diesel, it just said your soul. Your soul. 01:22:04 Speaker 4: All right. 01:22:05 Speaker 6: 77031. 01:22:05 Speaker 4: That's how you text us. I'm Jim. 01:22:07 Speaker 2: Deb, Jack, and Ross are here as well. All right, so when Emily was in, we were talking about the Disney adults. That is a thing, by the way. If you don't live here, I don't know that– do you think that comes into play elsewhere, guys, other than California? I think– The idea of a Disney adult, is that primarily an Orlando or Florida thing? You might have to clean up ILU because your slacks are about to get rattled because I think Disney adults are nationwide. 01:22:30 Speaker 4: You think so, huh? 01:22:31 Speaker 11: Yeah. 01:22:31 Speaker 5: They live nationwide, but they come here to congregate, so we interact with them more, right? 01:22:36 Speaker 3: Right. 01:22:37 Speaker 5: I think we're more familiar with them, but when they go out in the wild, they're not as concentrated. So regular people outside of Central Florida might not be as familiar with what a Disney adult is if they are not one. 01:22:50 Speaker 3: And I don't know if you guys remember, but there were plans, maybe still plans, to create a dating app. for Disney adults called Single Rider. 01:23:00 Speaker 4: Did not know that. Oh, that's awesome. 01:23:02 Speaker 3: Isn't that awesome? 01:23:03 Speaker 7: Yeah. 01:23:04 Speaker 3: Where'd you hear about that? And they're going up in arms because I think it's Expedition Everest or one of the attractions just took out the Single Rider. option and people are losing their minds but this was months and months and months ago really dating out for disney adults let me ask you a. 01:23:18 Speaker 2: Question you think disney adults in their regular lives when they're not you know wearing the ears or you know dressing like their favorite character or whatever do you think they let on in their normal world like if they're an insurance agent or a teacher or an executive do people know that they have that lifestyle or is that something they hide I think it's. 01:23:37 Speaker 4: A person-to-person thing, but for the most part, I think they don't usually have too much shame. I don't know too many big Disney fans that are embarrassed of their big Disney fandom. Well, the reason I'm bringing this up, this is this Newsweek story. 01:23:51 Speaker 3: Are you about to ruin it for them? 01:23:53 Speaker 2: I'm

not going to ruin it for you. I mean, this is just this guy's take. I don't necessarily agree with everything this guy is saying. I think there's a little bit of this. This is how he opens this. By the way, this is from Shane Croucher. who was the senior editor over at Newsweek. This is the opinion column. So, of course, this is just him spouting off. But it says, I like it. Before I turn the flamethrower on those who are about to burn, let's make a few things clear first. So that's his first sentence going to a story. He goes, if you're an adult with a kid, you can afford to go. Disney World is the thing. Do everything. 01:24:26 Speaker 4: Get nostalgic. 01:24:26 Speaker 2: Do the whole nine yards. Same goes for anybody with a developmental disability. Disney World is your playground. Go have at it. Have a good time. Make those memories that are going to last your whole life. But it says, and I quote... But if you're a grown adult to whom none of the above applies, and you're at Disney World, take a long, hard look at yourself. Feel that shame scorch. I bet you use the word adulting, don't you? I feel sick even writing it. Throw the Mickey ears in the trash. Go home and grow up. 01:25:00 Speaker 3: Somebody got turned down by a Disney adult on some dating app. I think a princess said no. He continues. 01:25:09 Speaker 4: Why? 01:25:09 Speaker 3: This sounds so personal. 01:25:10 Speaker 4: It's just so tragic, he says. 01:25:13 Speaker 11: Wow. Wow. 01:25:30 Speaker 2: And he says, now these aging millennials I grew up to watch regrettably belong. They're competing with children at Disney parks for the best view of someone in a costume pretending to be a character from an animated movie or worse, dressed as a teenage princess. I see what he did there with the Lost Boys thing. 01:25:46 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We all thought that, right? I'm just making sure. 01:25:49 Speaker 2: Now, I will tell you something interesting about this story. I can't read the entire thing. I'm not going to do that. 01:25:53 Speaker 3: It's boring AF. 01:25:53 Speaker 2: But here's what he does kind of continue on. Because he does admit there is a group of people who do this, but he doesn't view them the same way. And I kind of know why a little bit. What group do you think it is? Because there are groups of people who follow things like this all the time, and they're adults. 01:26:10 Speaker 4: Overweight people. 01:26:11 Speaker 3: No, dude. It's got to be. 01:26:15 Speaker 3: Like Harry Potter fans? Yeah, Star Wars, Harry Potter. Star Trek. 01:26:18 Speaker 2: Like there are tons of adults who live in a fantasy life that have dedicated their lives to dressing up, emulating people or characters from those products. 01:26:27 Speaker 3: One of my favorite– when picking up wedding photographers, but one of my favorite photographs was a newly married husband and wife. He held up his lightsaber and she held up her Harry Potter wand. 01:26:38 Speaker 9: Oh, man. 01:26:39 Speaker 3: And that was just the photo. And I love that because those are– That's a safe space for them. 01:26:44 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's like a nerd portman, too. Just to clarify why I said overweight people, because I don't want to make anybody upset. 01:26:51 Speaker 3: Him and Hoth are in fact. Oh, yeah, because Ross is thin, y'all. No, no, no. He's fat shaming. 01:26:57 Speaker 4: Oh, man, now watch this U-turn, because one of the coolest things, I've spent a lot of days working at a theme park in my days, right? And one of my favorite things that I ever got to saw, and it's not like it happened every day. It didn't happen like... you know, just consistently enough for it to be like, this is a culture, but I can probably remember five people that over a decade, I remember losing weight via the theme parks. Oh yeah. Walking around. They, and then like throughout a year, I would just see less and less of someone. 01:27:29 Speaker 16: Yeah. 01:27:29 Speaker 3: It became like this weird calendar. 01:27:31 Speaker 16: Yeah. 01:27:31 Speaker 4: Like, like, It was really fun and odd, and it was a really cool thing to just be in the one spot every day in a theme park, and you just see someone losing weight every week. 01:27:44 Speaker 5: Now, the interesting thing about this story, Ross, is this guy brought receipts. 01:27:47 Speaker 2: When it comes to the people he's talking about. And this is where it gets kind of interesting. It says, so many adults are choosing to be children after just having them. Look at this year's Census Bureau data, for example. In 2025, one-person households accounted for 29% of all households, up from 20% half-century before. And the percentage with families of their own children under the 18 declined from 54% to 39%. So what they're saying is there are fewer children to do these things, and adults are kind of picking up the slack. Here's where it gets crazy. So it says, look what's happening to toy sales. According to Cercana, which is a market research firm, adult-only households accounted for 55% of toy sales in the first half of 2026. 01:28:40 Speaker 3: And toy makers are starting to go after that because they're called kidults. In the adulting world, it's getting very, very big. 01:28:48 Speaker 2: It says toy sales to these adult-only households grew by 16% in that period. 01:28:54 Speaker 3: That's right. 01:28:55 Speaker 2: Faster than households with kids. In other words, households without children are buying toys at a greater rate than households that have kids because it's adults playing with them. 01:29:06 Speaker 4: Is this why? 01:29:06 Speaker 5: And they're the ones with the money. Is this why Toys R Us is coming back? It's part of it. I swear on my life this is the next sentence in the story. You don't have to go that far. I believe you. 01:29:18 Speaker 2: This adult obsession with toys, collectibles, cuddlies, crap of all types is now so big of a market shift that Toys R Us is actually

expanding and opening 120 new locations. 01:29:30 Speaker 4: Nailed it. How about that? 01:29:32 Speaker 2: Toys are selling— adults without kids are buying more toys than adults with kids. 01:29:38 Speaker 4: I think the only thing that I would jump in and maybe disagree with was the claim that adults are buying these toys and playing with them. Well, I mean, I don't know what they're doing with them. A lot of people are just like— You mean just collecting them? The boom of collecting. 01:29:53 Speaker 3: That's not what I've seen. I've seen board games and actually— Now, the collecting board games. 01:29:57 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no way. Yeah, but like video games. 01:30:00 Speaker 3: Old school games that we used to play with this kids. It's still one of my favorite Santa Claus, too. 01:30:05 Speaker 4: Jack brings up a good point. Are we bringing up video games? Does video games fall underneath the sector of toy? 01:30:12 Speaker 5: If it's toys and games, see, that's the thing. And I know we can argue with this like last week, you know, because Monopoly would be considered it's a game. But also, it would be considered under the realm of toys. Yeah, because a toy, you play with it. A game, you just play it. 01:30:27 Speaker 3: Right? And is that different? You don't play. 01:30:30 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, a ball is the same thing. You can play ball, and you can own a ball. A ball is a toy. 01:30:36 Speaker 5: I think for the sake of the argument being made in this article is that games and toys would be synonymous. 01:30:43 Speaker 4: Do you find the Disney adult thing weird, Jack? I do not. You don't find it weird at all? 01:30:48 Speaker 9: You know what? 01:30:48 Speaker 3: People find something that they like, they enjoy. 01:30:51 Speaker 5: And shaming them for that I think is ridiculous. 01:30:55 Speaker 3: It's weird. It's the kid thing that he keeps coming back to. 01:30:58 Speaker 2: He goes, I think the reason it's so weird is because that place is– and again, we know it's not. But it's the assumption that place is built for children. It's built for happiness. It's built for happiness. It was never built just for children. Walt Disney, his vision went far beyond just little kids. 01:31:14 Speaker 5: And it's built for functioning adults in society to be able to afford the money to pay what that's paying. So if you are a Disney adult and you're able to make trips down here and go, you're normal, quote, quote, normal enough to function in the real world to. 01:31:30 Speaker 4: Be able to afford those expenses. 01:31:31 Speaker 3: I think... With today's day and age and everything coming at us all the time, I think whatever people are using to self-soothe that isn't hurting other people or themselves is a win. I mean, this guy sounds like not only does he have a personal beef. 01:31:48 Speaker 4: Oh, he sounds very bitter. When you read the story in context, he sounds really bitter. 01:31:53 Speaker 3: He's bitter and he has no empathy. 01:31:55 Speaker 4: I'll be a little critical of Disney adults and non-Disney adults real fast because there's a weird little paradox that I'm stumbling upon here is that Disney adults... I actually do think that, like, yeah, there are some things that I am aware of, some Disney adults that could learn something from non-Disney adults. With that said, the guy who wrote this article, he could learn a lot from a Disney adult. 01:32:21 Speaker 3: Yes, he could. Yeah. 01:32:22 Speaker 4: And just being okay with happiness and being comfortable with the pursuit of whatever makes you smile. 01:32:29 Speaker 3: Exactly. And it's okay. 01:32:31 Speaker 4: It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks if Jafar makes me go. 01:32:37 Speaker 2: And it's kind of weird how he frames this because he goes– as he talks about this throughout the story, he talks about– he basically shames them in the sense that, why aren't you using this time to read a classic novel? 01:32:48 Speaker 4: Why aren't you into Beowulf or the Iliad or– Oh, piss off. I hate this guy. 01:32:52 Speaker 5: Or any of these things. I've got to tell you, Jack, the more I read this thing, I was going to say, this. 01:32:56 Speaker 3: Guy's a bitch. This guy's a bitch. No, he's an a-hole. 01:32:59 Speaker 2: But he's just trying to tell people how he thinks they should live their life, and it really irritates him. Let me ask you a question before we get out of here real quick, though. How many times a year do you have to go to Disney to be a Disney adult? I mean, I think we will assume that almost all of these people have an annual pass, correct? Because to go out there more than, like, if you go out there four times a month and you're on your own dime. 01:33:22 Speaker 4: I have an annual pass. I even have a magnet on my fridge. 01:33:25 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay. All right. 01:33:27 Speaker 2: How many times a year do you have to go to Disney to be considered, like, a Disney adult? 01:33:32 Speaker 4: I don't think it's even a visit thing. I think it's like an identity thing. 01:33:35 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. 01:33:36 Speaker 5: It's what you're doing when you're not at Disney. That makes you a Disney adult. 01:33:41 Speaker 3: How much of your house is decorated Disney? That's so good, dude. 01:33:46 Speaker 4: What's hanging on your wall? 01:33:47 Speaker 3: Trust me, as a former cast member and my whole family at one point had worked at Disney, you could find it was like Disney threw up in our house. Right, right, right. 01:33:55 Speaker 2: But in the world of people who consider themselves Disney adults, do you believe the volume matters? 01:34:00 Speaker 3: No. You don't. 01:34:01 Speaker 4: But what separates you then? 01:34:03 Speaker 3: A little bit. 01:34:04 Speaker 2: If there's a hierarchy of Disney adults, how do you get to the top of that? Do you buy the most stuff? Do you have the most collectible stuff? Do you go the most? 01:34:11 Speaker 3: Do you have the most ears?

01:34:12 Speaker 4: I think for me, it's not just identity, but yeah, it's the amount of time that you commit. There's tons, just an infinite amount of offerings that are seasonal or, hey, for the next three months, hey, this week only, make sure you get this limited edition. So they're always taking care of those Disney fans. So I would say if you are really on top of that, if you've ever gotten a push notification for a popcorn bucket drop. 01:34:37 Speaker 3: Yeah. Right? There you go. There you go. That's that. 01:34:42 Speaker 4: You are in the top 1% of Disney adulting. And we'll end it there. 01:34:46 Speaker 3: That's all right. 407-916-1041. 01:34:47 Speaker 4: Text us at 77031. 01:34:48 Speaker 2: Back in one sec with more of the Jim Colbert Show. 01:34:50 Speaker 4: Stay there. 01:34:57 Speaker 12: Good afternoon. 01:34:57 Speaker 4: Morning Colbert. 01:34:59 Speaker 11: What fun was had this weekend out at Suds, Pups, and Pints. So many fun dogs. Got to see Daryl Payne. Glenn Clausman gave me that fresh $ 2 bill. 01:35:08 Speaker 3: Dunk Tank was great. I got Jimmy. He got me four times. Good job, buddy. 01:35:13 Speaker 11: But, yeah, it was just a ton of fun. I'd love to hear how much money we all raised. And, yeah, I'm just looking forward to next year. And glad to say I'll always been there more times than Jimmy. 01:35:23 Speaker 3: Big G out. That sucks he gets to say that. That's true, though. Thank you so much for coming out and getting in the dunk tank. 01:35:31 Speaker 4: You want to give him the number? 01:35:33 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, you guys helped us raise $ 10, 886 for the Humane Society of Lake County. 01:35:42 Speaker 4: Let's round it up to $ 11, 000, right? 01:35:44 Speaker 3: I agree. 01:35:44 Speaker 2: But even if they don't get the money for the, if the people bailed out, I'll make sure that it gets up to $ 11, 000 so we can say $ 11, 000. 01:35:50 Speaker 3: Cool. 01:35:51 Speaker 4: I'll donate the difference so. 01:35:52 Speaker 3: We can make it up to $ 11, 000. All right, I'll text Angie right about now. Don't text her so quick. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And if they do donate it and that puts us over, I'll take some of the surplus. Definitely. 01:36:02 Speaker 4: No, Jack, always there for the team. I love it. 01:36:05 Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show, Real Radio 104.1.

Jim is the ghost of Christmas yet to come. Yeah, I was a ghost of Christmas yet to come. 01:37:21 Speaker 3: That's right. Can you give us that voice? 01:37:23 Speaker 11: No. 01:37:24 Speaker 4: So, you know, it's funny. I wanted to talk about this real quick. 01:37:28 Speaker 2: We do so much stuff down in Mount Dora, but this story really, it kind of has something to do with Mount Dora, but it doesn't. Because this has happened before, and I kind of wanted to get your opinion on this. This happened to a friend of ours called the, oh my God, what was it? 01:37:44 Speaker 3: The Lamb. The Lamb? 01:37:46 Speaker 4: Down on Orange Avenue, buddy. A Hammered Lamb? Hammered Lamb. 01:37:49 Speaker 3: Hammered Lamb. 01:37:50 Speaker 4: Do you remember what happened in the Hamburg Lamb? 01:37:52 Speaker 3: A flood. 01:37:52 Speaker 4: Oh, no, no, no. 01:37:53 Speaker 3: It wasn't a flood. 01:37:54 Speaker 5: The city redid the roads, which restricted car traffic, and they couldn't stay busy enough. 01:38:03 Speaker 2: And the city doesn't do anything for the businesses when this happens, and it's happening again in Mount Dora. to a business that Deb talks about all the time. I've never been there, but I hear it's amazing. It's called the Magical Meat Boutique. 01:38:15 Speaker 3: Oh, those poor people. Oh, my heart breaks for them. 01:38:18 Speaker 2: So they're rebuilding the road or they're building a roundabout right in front of their place. How much of a reduction in business do you think they've suffered since this started? Now, this is already on top of a very... tight economy when people are picking and choosing when and where they go out to eat more so than ever in their life. So even your stalwart customers, even the people that have been there week to week that love your place are now making choices of when they can come, and now they're dealing with this. What do you think the percentage of reduction in sales is? 01:38:46 Speaker 3: 60%. 01:38:50 Speaker 4: I would say half 50. 01:38:52 Speaker 3: I'm going to go 75. 01:38:54 Speaker 4: 42% reduction in sales. Wow. 01:38:57

Speaker 8: 42%. 01:38:57 Speaker 4: That's a game changer. That's a game changer for a small business. 01:39:00 Speaker 3: It literally is. 01:39:01 Speaker 4: I mean, 5% is. 01:39:02 Speaker 19: Yeah. 01:39:02 Speaker 12: You know? 01:39:02 Speaker 3: Yeah. 01:39:03 Speaker 2: They've had to lay off people, adjust hours, and they're trying to do everything they can just to keep going. It's right there on old 441. It's legendary in the area. 01:39:12 Speaker 3: Look, can I tell you something? They had just moved from downtown where rent had gone up, so they bought this location. 01:39:17 Speaker 11: Yep. 01:39:18 Speaker 3: Where we knew someone else who had owned a barbecue restaurant there. It's already a tough spot to be a restaurant. Magical Meat Boutique at least had this great reputation. And, you know, I personally feel that when this kind of road construction happens, there has got to be a better contingency plan for cities that allow this. Because you're... Building a road, making it more convenient, safer for your drivers, but you're killing your small businesses. 01:39:43 Speaker 2: Yeah, the funny thing is you're building a road to make it easier to get to the shops that are going to have to shut down because you built the road to make it easier to get to them. 01:39:49 Speaker 3: Exactly. 01:39:49 Speaker 4: And the funny thing, I bring this up because it's not just Mount, do you know what I mean? 01:39:52 Speaker 3: It's everywhere. 01:39:53 Speaker 4: This happens everywhere. 01:39:54 Speaker 3: Downtown Orlando. 01:39:55 Speaker 2: Whether you're in Coco, whether you're in Melbourne, wherever, it doesn't matter. You've seen, especially at the rate that this city and the surrounding areas are growing, it seems like every place you go, there is construction. What do you guys think should happen? I mean, should they give them a tax break? Should they give them a city– should they– I. 01:40:14 Speaker 3: Think it should be part of the road project contract as an outline of the businesses that would be the most severely damaged. Maybe there's some kind of a fund that city, county construction companies could– each pay into that would help these businesses offset their losses. 01:40:31 Speaker 4: Almost like an insurance program. 01:40:33 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. 01:40:34 Speaker 4: Maybe some sort of program that you could apply where you can show up with like your business's taxes of the last year. You average that out so you can prove like, Hey, I got hit. Forty percent. Yeah, this is the only two months that this happened. It's when you guys are building the roundabout. Can you make up the difference or the majority of the difference? 01:40:53 Speaker 3: Which really sucks because the weather's nice now. So you have more people that are coming into town because now they can walk around or. So this really hits them as there's no good time. 01:41:04 Speaker 2: You make a very good point there. I never really considered the timing of

it because if you think what I just said sounds bad, how about this? Right now, traffic is closed through the intersection in the north and south directions, which means drivers can still travel east and west. But come February, in the absolute height of the season in towns like Mount Dora, these type of towns, they're closing the entire intersection for three months. 01:41:33 Speaker 12: Wow. 01:41:35 Speaker 4: For three months, the entire, in other words, all access. 01:41:38 Speaker 3: Wait a minute. The intersection of 0441 and like. 01:41:42 Speaker 4: Eudora Road. 01:41:43 Speaker 3: For three months. 01:41:44 Speaker 4: Three months. 01:41:46 Speaker 2: Lake County said the project moves to its next phase. There will be full closure at the intersection for about three months. They determined that completing this project would be nearly impossible while remaining open to traffic as there is a substantial amount of utility relocation required at the intersection. 01:42:05 Speaker 3: And that is what locals used to avoid 441 completely. 01:42:08 Speaker 6: Yes, exactly. 01:42:11 Speaker 3: And to get to 19. So how are you going to? 01:42:13 Speaker 2: And it's so funny because it says nearby businesses say the detours and delays are already making it harder for customers to stop by. And they're worried about what comes next. The guy puts in quotes, hopefully the county will come up with something. There's also concern for the residents and emergency response time. In other words, the ability to get an ambulance or an officer back to you is even now compromised because of the intersection. 01:42:34 Speaker 3: And for those who don't know, that's where the brand new Mount Dora fire station was just built. 01:42:39 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah. 01:42:40 Speaker 3: At that intersection right there at Eudora Road and 0441. Wild, man. That could add another five to ten minutes to their response time. 01:42:49 Speaker 6: Wow. 01:42:50 Speaker 4: I mean, they have no recourse. I mean, it was an eminent domain, right? 01:42:53 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know that that even applies here because, I mean, they're tearing up property that's already owned by the city. 01:42:58 Speaker 9: Yeah. 01:42:59 Speaker 5: And it's already a county road. There is no recourse. Yeah, that's the terrible part. But the time to sue the city, it's going to cost a lot more than the 42% you're losing. 01:43:11 Speaker 2: And I don't know that they didn't do this, so I'll just say this as a they should kind of thing. shouldn't they have a meeting on the timing of this wouldn't it be much better if they were if this if the major construction on this thing was happening in the dead of summer might. 01:43:24 Speaker 4: Be more money to do it in the summer but i don't know. 01:43:26 Speaker 5: It may be i don't know the answer to that but why do it in this season deb's 100 right literally taking up every single day of the tourist season if it starts in february that means february march april may that means may it's done and that's when the heat sets back. 01:43:39 Speaker 3: Exactly they did it and that's when the crowds go home they. 01:43:41 Speaker 2: They did it in the absolute height of the tourist season. I just don't understand how the planner's going to come up with a better idea for this. 01:43:48 Speaker 3: Am I tripping? 01:43:48 Speaker 4: I would think construction has got to cost more in the summer. It's always raining. Well, it's the heat, too. The heat, the project's going to take longer. We got rained out again. 01:43:58 Speaker 5: Well, that's a very good question. I did not know that. There might be a way, something else. Instead of just direct cash payments, what about setting up... If there was some way that the city could have a remote parking lot and provide remote transportation service to these places, they have to be able to have a way for them to get in and out. 01:44:19 Speaker 9: Right. 01:44:20 Speaker 5: But where they can have a shuttle provided during typical business hours. 01:44:26 Speaker 4: For these places where. 01:44:28 Speaker 3: You know, you can just, I mean, you'd have to educate your consumers, but you know, yeah. 01:44:33 Speaker 5: Negotiate like some other parking so that you can have detours, bring them in for another way, park here for free. And then I have a shuttle service covered by the city for this, trying to help find a solution to the problem because it's, it's more than money. 01:44:46 Speaker 4: It's that customer experience you're losing. 01:44:48 Speaker 3: Yeah. 01:44:49 Speaker 5: How many interactions are, That could have led to more business down the road. 01:44:53 Speaker 2: Well, we know the numbers, almost half, 42%. 42% of foot traffic going out of your door. I don't know how you can make it. 01:44:59 Speaker 3: I don't know either. And again, going back to downtown Orlando, there's so much energy and money that they're pouring into trying to get people back into downtown. It just seems like they're cutting off their nose despite their face. And I do mean this for every city and county. There just seems to be, there needs to be better collaboration between your local small businesses and your city, county, and your contractors so that they can get ahead of this instead of now they're trying to, what, put a Band-Aid on it? How are they going to do that when it's closed for three months? 01:45:27 Speaker 2: Look, can I tell you, the way this story is written, they don't plan to do anything except shut that thing down and rebuild it and then hope everybody around there does well. But, I mean, that is, to me, I mean, it seems like to me there could have been some community planning where this project starts in February, maybe starts in March, and then ends in June. 01:45:46 Speaker 3: July, whatever. 01:45:47 Speaker 5: And it's for some businesses and it doesn't work for all, but it's kind of like the pandemic where you had to reinvent what you were doing.

01:45:54 Speaker 9: Yeah. 01:45:54 Speaker 4: Where restaurants had to become kitchens. Right. 01:45:58 Speaker 5: Where it would be food service. And, you know, it's just. It's tough. What a backbreaker to a small business. 01:46:09 Speaker 3: That restaurant has been around for years and years and years. 01:46:12 Speaker 5: And your margins are so thin to get by. You can't just absorb this. And I don't know if you've noticed, it's the Magical Meat Boutique. 01:46:20 Speaker 3: That's named for, actually, his father, Phil's father. I think he started the Magical Meat Boutique in Piccadilly Circus in London. It's a very old meat market in Piccadilly Circus. 01:46:33 Speaker 4: Yeah, my point is he's selling meat, one of the most expensive things. 01:46:36 Speaker 8: Yeah. 01:46:36 Speaker 3: I mean, it's a meat and gas. If you want a true blue English breakfast, that's where you go. 01:46:42 Speaker 4: That's the pork and beans and the eggs. 01:46:44 Speaker 3: Yeah, the sausages, the bangers and mash. 01:46:46 Speaker 7: Mm-hmm. 01:46:47 Speaker 9: Yep. 01:46:48 Speaker 3: Kidney steak and kidney pie. 01:46:49 Speaker 4: Get out of here with that. I look at this whole scenario and it sucks. It breaks my heart. But I think we can all I don't think we have a solution. Like, I enjoy Jack's idea of like maybe a city can provide, you know, a shuttle of some sort. But I know how savage the general public is. You offer a shuttle for a restaurant versus a restaurant. 01:47:11 Speaker 3: What about my business? 01:47:12 Speaker 4: Yeah, without a shuttle, then people don't take shuttles for restaurants. The business will still get negatively impacted from this. I don't know what you do with this scenario. 01:47:24 Speaker 2: Let me read you what the county says they're going to do, right? The county has already put up some road closure and detour signs. A spokesperson said it's now also working on customized signage to remind. 01:47:35 Speaker 4: People that the businesses are still open in the area. 01:47:38 Speaker 3: Oh, great. 01:47:38 Speaker 6: Thanks. 01:47:39 Speaker 3: You know what? 01:47:40 Speaker 4: Here's a quick heads up, everybody. They're still open. It's still better than nothing, so I'm not going to slap any efforts face. 01:47:47 Speaker 3: But I agree. 01:47:48 Speaker 2: I mean, if you realize that everybody, I mean, again, the rent down there is not cheap. Anywhere near Mount Dora is not cheap. As a city council member voting on these type of projects, I mean, you have to understand that, right? I mean, I don't know if there was a timeline in this particular order. Maybe it was because that's the only time the construction company could do the job because of other jobs lined up. I guess you have to take that into consideration because it's a bidded job or it's a bid job. So it means the lowest price won the bid. So you have to kind of adhere to their schedule. 01:48:18 Speaker 3: Right. 01:48:20 Speaker 2: Starting this project and

running it through the height of tourist season is really kind of puzzling. 01:48:25 Speaker 4: And so the one thing that I would say that's definitely pro the business of like, all right, that's fine. 01:48:31 Speaker 3: I hear this whole project. 01:48:33 Speaker 4: Convince me that it's a total necessity. Like, has there been traffic incidents here? Are we fixing a problem? 01:48:40 Speaker 3: Oh, it's a very dangerous intersection. I don't know how putting a roundabout is going to help that. 01:48:46 Speaker 4: That's what everybody else is saying, too. 01:48:47 Speaker 3: Well, because, I mean, I don't understand them putting in traffic devices that none of us were taught how to operate around when we went to traffic school. Those are... Those are European things. They do work well. They do. 01:48:57 Speaker 4: I love roundabouts. 01:48:58 Speaker 3: But when you have four people sitting there with their thumbs up their butts because nobody can figure out who's supposed to go first at a four-way stop. 01:49:04 Speaker 4: That's an education issue. 01:49:06 Speaker 5: You just have to educate because once you get used to it, you go through it the first couple times, you're going to know. 01:49:10 Speaker 3: It's fine, yeah. 01:49:11 Speaker 5: The more people get used to it, it's like the– that, uh, crisscrossing diamond, like they have one down on sand Lake road. 01:49:18 Speaker 3: Oh, they want to come on. 01:49:19 Speaker 13: Oh yeah. 01:49:20 Speaker 4: And so that's it. That's a challenge. 01:49:22 Speaker 3: You gotta, I went through a Friday night. 01:49:24 Speaker 5: I'm like, okay, I'm going over here now. 01:49:26 Speaker 3: I still haven't, I still haven't gone on that. I'm terrified. 01:49:29 Speaker 2: Have you ever been downtown and gone to that on that one road that has the bus lane beside the regular lane? 01:49:34 Speaker 4: Oh yeah. 01:49:34 Speaker 3: And then you have to figure out when the bus lane ends and you can keep going. 01:49:38 Speaker 4: It's just free. 01:49:39 Speaker 3: Solid there for a minute. 01:49:40 Speaker 11: Yeah. 01:49:41 Speaker 5: And then if you're even an Orlando City game and you say you pretend you're a bus and you just take it. Well, it's a law after like big public events. You can use the bus lane. I made that up. 01:49:51 Speaker 3: It's just like my concern. It's my law. 01:49:53 Speaker 4: I felt much better for a moment. 01:49:55 Speaker 3: It's like Jack saying, once you educate them, I'm thinking, oh, we're going to have some octogenarian who's just going to stop in the middle of the roundabout because they can't figure out. That's what I'm going to tell you. 01:50:04 Speaker 2: I benefit from roundabouts because I'm not the guy who waits on you to figure it out. 01:50:08 Speaker 7: Yeah. 01:50:08 Speaker 4: I pull up, and if you don't go immediately, I get to go for free now. 01:50:12 Speaker 2: I go around all those things like crazy because when you can't figure it out, I'm hauling ass. 01:50:16 Speaker 4: And, Deb, I know that there will be some growing pains, right? 01:50:19 Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. 01:50:19 Speaker 4: But then it's for the future, right? 01:50:22 Speaker 3: I guess. It just sucks if you're a local because it makes it so inconvenient. Not only is it killing business. 01:50:28 Speaker 5: But right now it's killing people. And it's killing less people. Roundabouts prevent deadly crashes. 01:50:33 Speaker 3: Yeah, they do. They do. 01:50:35 Speaker 4: Unless you don't know it, they're there. 01:50:37 Speaker 2: Have you ever seen that video of that guy that they built the roundabout and put that like planter in the middle of it that has the sides that kind of go up like transitions? 01:50:44 Speaker 4: What, he jumped like Dukes of Hazzard? Bro, you don't even want to know. 01:50:47 Speaker 5: Know look for that video during the break of that guy missing that roundabout and hitting it that bmw flies 100 feet if it flies one you know i kind of i'll put this in the perfect debate category jim maybe that's a hot take because either way you're screwed there's you have to fix this thing people if it is as dangerous of a intersection as i'm being told like something has to give and it sucks do you. 01:51:12 Speaker 2: Do you think i'm gonna go over here in a second but Deb, did they put up signs like before this thing was happening to let people know, hey, look, in three weeks and two weeks and a month or whatever, this is going to be a change of direction or whatever just to preempt the possibility? 01:51:27 Speaker 3: I hadn't seen anything. And one day when I was trucking down there thinking, ooh, I'm going to take your door over to Target and avoid that. Oh, hey, wait a minute here. What's going on? How come this street is shut down? 01:51:37 Speaker 4: Right. 01:51:37 Speaker 12: Yeah. 01:51:38 Speaker 3: Because now I can't get to my craft supplies at Hobby Lobby. 01:51:41 Speaker 4: My best solution, grab the average of the last year, prove, hey, I made this last October. 01:51:46 Speaker 3: Exactly. 01:51:47 Speaker 4: That's the only thing. Have them get a check. Yeah, just maybe 70% of the difference. That's the only thing I. 01:51:52 Speaker 3: Could think of. 01:51:53 Speaker 2: And you've got to remember, if it's not that many businesses affected, I mean, it wouldn't be difficult for the fund to be able to find that thing. 01:51:58 Speaker 3: That's not the one, buddy. When you see it, you'll know it immediately. 01:52:01 Speaker 4: Watch this one. 01:52:01 Speaker 7: Hold on. 01:52:02 Speaker 3: All right, let's see. Does the guy go through a roundabout? It is this one. Boom. 01:52:06 Speaker 18: Gone. 01:52:07 Speaker 3: Get over, boys. 01:52:08 Speaker 2: Never meaning no harm. Did that guy fly 100 feet? 01:52:13 Speaker 3: And lost part of his car. A boom shakalaka. That is not the thing you want to see going 80 down the road. 01:52:19 Speaker 9: Oh, ramp. 01:52:21 Speaker 3: All right. 407-916-1041.

Text us 77031. 01:52:22 Speaker 4: Load them up. 01:52:22 Speaker 3: Trivia is next. 01:52:33 Speaker 6: Hey, guys. 01:52:34 Speaker 8: I just wanted to say that I've been a Real Radio listener since I moved down here almost 25 years ago.

It's amazing how they transform just a corner lot into what they turn it into. 01:55:29 Speaker 4: It's amazing. If you've never gotten scared outside... It's such a different experience. 01:55:35 Speaker 13: It is, dude. 01:55:36 Speaker 6: It really is. 01:55:37 Speaker 4: It is creepier because you're not looking at a soundstage. Those are the stars. 01:55:43 Speaker 3: That's the moon. All that space is infinite, right? Yeah. When you're in a house, you know, okay, once I escape these four walls, I'm good. Outside, different story. 01:55:52 Speaker 4: I remember a couple of years ago, I went and the first thing that they did was put me in a box and push me. And then that was how the house started. 01:56:00 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that one. Yeah. 01:56:03 Speaker 4: Where they slid you in like a cartridge. 01:56:05 Speaker 9: Yeah. 01:56:05 Speaker 16: Yeah. 01:56:06 Speaker 10: Yeah. 01:56:06 Speaker 4: Like a bullet. 01:56:07 Speaker 20: All right, Deb. 01:56:07 Speaker 3: So back to you, clickety-clack. One, two, three, four, five, Deborah. Let's go three. 01:56:11 Speaker 4: Three sounds good. 01:56:12 Speaker 3: Christina. 01:56:14 Speaker 4: Hello. 01:56:14 Speaker 3: How you doing? I'm good. 01:56:17 Speaker 4: How are y'all? 01:56:17 Speaker 3: Doing great. Want to play a little game with us? 01:56:20 Speaker 8: I sure do. 01:56:20 Speaker 4: Well, let's do it then. 01:56:21 Speaker 3: Is he the puzzle master? 01:56:24 Speaker 1: Or is he the guy who's currently writing today's game? 01:56:26 Speaker 9: Can he be both? 01:56:28 Speaker 3: Let's find out. 01:56:29 Speaker 4: It's time for JCS Trivia. 01:56:30 Speaker 3: Trivia. 01:56:32 Speaker 2: All right, Christina, this is a real easy game. I have a question here for you. It has four answers. One of these answers is not true, Christina. 01:56:39 Speaker 8: What? 01:56:40 Speaker 2: And if you can find that one, I'll send you over to see Jack. There's some good stuff there. Hope you can come see us Saturday. 01:56:44 Speaker 4: All

right, you ready? 01:56:45 Speaker 9: All right. 01:56:46 Speaker 3: All right, here we go. 01:56:47 Speaker 2: On this day in 551. Chinese philosopher Confucius was born on this day. 01:56:55 Speaker 3: Oh, wow. That's right. 01:56:56 Speaker 2: Here are three fun facts about Confucius and one eye-opening lie. 01:57:01 Speaker 3: Confucius say. 01:57:01 Speaker 2: All right, we're talking about Confucius here, Christina. Which one of these is not true? Number one, Confucius was a giant. Historians think he was about seven feet tall. 01:57:11 Speaker 6: Whoa. 01:57:12 Speaker 2: Number two, his name was Latinized to Confucius. His real name is Kong Kui. Number three, Confucius lived a very long life. He died at 73 years old. The average life expectancy in 551 was 30 years. Or lastly, his diaries and writings are protected in Beijing by a continuous rotation of armed guards. 01:57:36 Speaker 4: Which of those is a lie? Two? You say two? 01:57:44 Speaker 8: Two. 01:57:45 Speaker 12: Yes. 01:57:45 Speaker 2: No, that's absolutely true. His name isn't Confucius. That's a Latinized version of it. His name actually is Kong Kui. Well, there you have it. 01:57:55 Speaker 3: There you go. 01:57:55 Speaker 4: All right, Deb, one, two, four, or five? 01:57:58 Speaker 3: We're going four. 01:57:58 Speaker 4: Four sounds good. That is Bill. Bill, how you doing? 01:58:03 Speaker 3: Very well, sir. 01:58:04 Speaker 6: Good, buddy. 01:58:04 Speaker 2: We're talking about Confucius here. Which one of these isn't true? Number one, Confucius was a giant. Historians think he was about seven feet tall. Number two, Confucius lived a very long life. He died at 73 years old. The average life expectancy in 551 was just. 01:58:18 Speaker 3: 30 years old. 01:58:19 Speaker 2: Or lastly, his diaries and writings are protected in Beijing by a continuous rotation of armed guards. 01:58:26 Speaker 12: I'm going to go, I don't think he was that tall. 01:58:28 Speaker 4: No, he was that tall. Actually, they think he was 7'2. 01:58:31 Speaker 3: Wow. How crazy is that? 01:58:34 Speaker 5: Did anybody else have him as like a 5'8 dude who weighed like 110 pounds? 01:58:38 Speaker 4: A little portly guy. 01:58:38 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was a monster. 01:58:40 Speaker 11: Yeah. 01:58:40 Speaker 3: 7'2, 275 pounds. 01:58:44 Speaker 5: That's what they assume on writings and measurements from that era. 01:58:48 Speaker 3: Take that, stereotypes. 01:58:50 Speaker 4: One, two, or five? 01:58:51 Speaker 3: Let's go one. 01:58:52 Speaker 4: One sounds good. That is our buddy Jake. Jake, how you doing? 01:58:54 Speaker 3: Hey, it's good for a Monday. 01:58:56 Speaker 2: Love hearing that, big dog. We're talking about Confucius here. You got a 50-50 shot. Which one of these is not true? Number one, Confucius lived a very long life, died at 73 years old. The average life expectancy in 551 was just 30 years. Or his diaries and writings are protected in Beijing by a continuous rotation.

01:59:12 Speaker 4: Of armed guards. 01:59:17 Speaker 3: Number two. That's the one, buddy. You're a winner. 01:59:25 Speaker 4: I said hands off the buttons. Hands off. By the way, where do you think his writings and manuals are? 01:59:36 Speaker 3: China? 01:59:36 Speaker 2: They're nowhere. He never wrote a word of his own lessons down. 01:59:41 Speaker 3: Oh, wow. 01:59:42 Speaker 4: He never. Oh, buddy, I dropped this guy on accident. You got to call back, buddy. I dropped you on accident. 01:59:46 Speaker 3: Oh, man. Butterfingers. That was Bob, right? He hung up on Bill. 01:59:50 Speaker 4: It wasn't Bob. 01:59:51 Speaker 3: It was Bill. It was Bill. 01:59:52 Speaker 4: Congratulations. We hung up. Yeah, yeah. You call back, Bill. We got you. 01:59:56 Speaker 2: Yeah, Confucius did live a very long life, 73 years old. The average life expectancy was only 30 years old. 02:00:03 Speaker 3: What's wrong? Are you okay? We just got breaking news? Yeah, there was a house fire in Geneva today. Okay. And investigators say 11 dogs were trapped inside. 02:00:15 Speaker 2: Yeah, his diaries and writings were not protected by anybody because they didn't exist. 02:00:18 Speaker 3: Well, are there any other writings at that time that survived? 02:00:22 Speaker 4: All of his writings were actually done by his students after the fact. 02:00:26 Speaker 12: Really? 02:00:26 Speaker 4: Because he was a teacher. That's really what he did more than anything. 02:00:29 Speaker 3: Kind of like Jesus, right? He didn't write anything down? He did not. 02:00:31 Speaker 2: It was all of his acolytes that did it, and the same thing with Confucius. His students are the ones that wrote down all these wonderful sayings and lessons and things that we know of him. 02:00:41 Speaker 4: Over these years. 02:00:42 Speaker 3: For a mother to give birth to a child that could get to 7 feet 2 in China before AD 600. Yeah, yeah. 02:00:48 Speaker 2: A couple other things about Confucius you may not know before we get to the top of the hour. We got some raw thoughts. We actually got sports, but then got raw thoughts at 620 today. He's the first person in China to provide an education to people who are not considered nobles. 02:01:00 Speaker 3: Oh, wow. Yeah. 02:01:01 Speaker 2: He never wrote down anything he said. Records of his lessons were written by his devoted students. He survived many assassination attempts. About seven. 02:01:11 Speaker 4: If I remember right. 02:01:12 Speaker 8: Really? 02:01:13 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. 02:01:14 Speaker 7: Wow. 02:01:14 Speaker 3: A man of peace? Here's the other thing, too. Oh, those are the most dangerous, Deb. Yeah, good point. Good point. 02:01:20 Speaker 2: You're 100% right. Yeah. Look what they did to Christ. 02:01:24 Speaker 3: Yeah, they upset the status quo. Yeah. Good point. 02:01:28 Speaker 2: So he was an amazing warrior. And what kind of kills you is they say that he was one of the best horsemen and archers that ever lived. What's the horse look like carrying a dude who's 7'2 and 280? 02:01:39 Speaker 4: No doubt. Budweiser? 02:01:41 Speaker 3: Clydesdale? 02:01:42 Speaker 5: Yeah. Does it look like sad? He was a talented musician. What instrument do you think he played? 02:01:49 Speaker 4: It's not the name that we use today because we didn't know that name, but it's basically a similar... A sitar. Yeah, guitar. It's the same thing. It was called a keen. 02:01:58 Speaker 3: I was going to say a lute or something like that. 02:02:00 Speaker 2: Yeah, something like that, but it was a guitar. He was a very talented songwriter and a very poetic person, apparently. 02:02:05 Speaker 4: I just found out that a Confucius is the greatest person to ever live, I guess. Also, his face is actually carved into the U.S. Supreme Court building. See? 02:02:14 Speaker 3: Oh, wow. 02:02:14 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a part of it. 02:02:16 Speaker 2: And there's a couple other philosophers from that era, I guess, and all their faces are in that area. So that guy's face is on part of one of our buildings here in the United States of America. 02:02:25 Speaker 4: Confucius was the first Chuck Norris. He was. This guy's a total badass. 7'2, warrior, teacher. He chose Daylight Saving Sun. 02:02:35 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 02:02:37 Speaker 4: What you got for thoughts? 02:02:38 Speaker 2: At 620, I will tell you. We'll do some sports next with our buddy Brandon Kravitz. 02:02:43 Speaker 21: Rod! 02:02:43 Speaker 9: God, Jack! 02:02:48 Speaker 8: All right. 02:02:50 Speaker 3: Sorry for this, Ross. But you know when you lost and you don't have the sauce? Yeah, man. 02:02:56 Speaker 11: Is when a roof man shows up and your wife turns into a baby and goes, goo-goo-ga-ga, and gives him a standing ovation. 02:03:06 Speaker 3: Sorry, dog. Later, cowboy! 02:03:10 Speaker 5: All right, welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show, Real Radio 104.1. 02:03:13 Speaker 3: I'm Jim. 02:03:13 Speaker 4: Deb, Jack, and Ross are here as well. 02:03:15 Speaker 3: Let's do sports! 02:03:18 Speaker 1: It's time to get your game on. As the Jim Colbert Show brings you the man who brings the heat, the insight, and the takes you didn't even know you needed. From the biggest headlines to the stories flying under the radar, we've got you covered. So buckle up, because the sports world never sleeps. And neither does this guy. The most popular sports broadcaster on 96.9 The Game. You paid us to say that. 02:03:41 Speaker 3: Brandon Kravitz. 02:03:43 Speaker 4: Good luck, Brandon Kravitz. Yeah! My favorite thing is watching his face during the intro. 02:03:51 Speaker 3: He's so... Dialed in. 02:03:53 Speaker 5: So undecided whether or not he likes it or not. 02:03:57 Speaker 20: It's really grown on me. The first time I heard it, I was unsure. I like the game on pun. I like the fact that the guy mentions that I don't sleep. I try. I think sleep is very important to the human. It's just not conducive. To an East Coast sports

fan. Steven Jobs said it was overrated, I think. 02:04:19 Speaker 5: Remember, there's always this. We can go back to it. 02:04:22 Speaker 3: Here's your intro. 02:04:26 Speaker 14: It's now time for Sports Talk with Brennan Kravitz from 96.9 The Game. 02:04:32 Speaker 3: Watch out for them little anal lizards, dog. Only on the Jim Colbert Show. 02:04:42 Speaker 2: The only reason I even did this first short one because we only had a short amount of time. So I wanted as much with you. That's why we didn't do a big long intro. I got you. 02:04:50 Speaker 3: I got three more to play. We have three more intros. We can grade them. 02:04:55 Speaker 4: We always do this. 02:04:56 Speaker 2: We always go around and talk about the teams that we like and how they perform. Obviously, Jack's Raiders are having a great season. 02:05:02 Speaker 20: Yeah, the Raiders look really good. Kind of thought they would be one of the surprise teams. 02:05:06 Speaker 3: Of the league. 02:05:07 Speaker 20: You did say that. I did say that. I was in on the Raiders' experience. They spent a lot of money on defense to improve. They were one of the teams that had money to spend. I thought they spent it wisely. And I really like what they're doing with their quarterback. They had the number one overall pick. They got Fernando Mendoza, and they said, sit down, kid. We're going to go get Kirk Cousins. And I was never of the belief that they were just going to give up on Cousins and immediately go to the young guy. Cousins just had this happen in Atlanta, and it wasn't going to sign on with a team that wasn't going to give him a legitimate chance. They have weapons on offense. Football's not all that complicated. If you have good coaching, good quarterback play, good weapons, and a good defense, you can win games. I'm fascinated to see what next week looks like for them. Going on the road and beating New Orleans is impressive. I think the Saints are a real team, but they are at home against the Kansas City Chiefs. That is going to be a fascinating game. And if the Raiders win that one, then we are really wheels up 4-0 and a win against Kansas City, who looks like one of the best teams in the NFL. 02:06:09 Speaker 4: Yeah, let's move on to the Packers, Debs. 02:06:13 Speaker 3: Packers. I knew that game wasn't going to go good. 02:06:15 Speaker 4: They're coming to town. 02:06:16 Speaker 3: You can hear it went well. Oh, my. Yeah, that was ugly. 02:06:21 Speaker 20: The Packers right now are averaging 48 yards per game on the ground. 02:06:26 Speaker 3: They can't run the football by far. Worst team. 02:06:30 Speaker 20: The second worst team has double the rushing yards per game that the Green Bay Packers do. 02:06:35 Speaker 3: This reminds me when Bart Starr was the coach. Great quarterback for Vince Lombardi. Crappy coach. I don't think I was around for that, but I'll take your word for it. Thanks, Brandon. Thanks, Brandon. 02:06:48 Speaker 4: She read about it. 02:06:50 Speaker 3: Thank you, Pimmy. 02:06:51 Speaker 4: You said Bart Starr. That's like right next to Tommy Two Knuckles. 02:06:55 Speaker 3: Yeah, they used to play Pink Floyd music. And yeah, he was the coach. Anyway, sorry. They are in rough shape right now. 02:07:06 Speaker 20: Jordan Love, I think, still has a little bit of game in him, but there's not a lot going on around them, and they really miss Micah Parsons. They have not won a football game, or actually they beat the Jets the week prior, but they've won one game since Micah Parsons got. 02:07:21 Speaker 3: Hurt last season. I think they lost six in a row. 02:07:23 Speaker 4: One in eight or something like that, right? 02:07:24 Speaker 3: It's just heartbreaking. 02:07:25 Speaker 2: All right, let's move on to my Tampa Bay Bucs that look as Tampa Bay as Tampa Bay's ever looked. 02:07:30 Speaker 20: They look more Tampa Bay than Tampa Bay has looked in a while. At the end of that game, it was like the final, the second half was punt, punt, punt, field goal, punt, interception, interception. They had every opportunity to win this game. They really dominated the Vikings in a lot of ways, held them to six points in the second half, and they just couldn't get anything going on offense. Their offensive line is supposed to be one of the strengths of the team. Last year, their offense took a step back. They've the play calling. They fired the offensive coordinator, but their offensive line was really banged up last year. It's healthy now. 02:08:07 Speaker 13: Baker. 02:08:08 Speaker 3: Has not looked great. He does not. 02:08:09 Speaker 4: He has no time to throw the football. 02:08:11 Speaker 8: No, no. 02:08:12 Speaker 3: And so they get down to the end of the game. 02:08:14 Speaker 20: Then even though they've done nothing for two quarters and beyond that, they still have a chance to drive and win the game. Two separate opportunities with 90 seconds on the clock and Baker Mayfield throws a pick on both of those possessions. The second one, the final one before they really were dug a grave for themselves. Baker Mayfield is spinning out, trying to make a play happen. And this is where quarterbacks get hurt. It's not necessarily the runners. It's the play extenders. And that's what Baker Mayfield was doing. Dislocated thumb. He'll be out for three weeks. And now you see what the backup has. The good news is this is a team that has no juice whatsoever. Jalen Daniels, not Jaden Daniels with the commanders. Jalen Daniels is the backup for the Bucs. He was one of the best preseason quarterbacks in the NFL. He can run. He's got a cannon for an arm. if he can complete the simple throws, this guy could have a little bit of something. And as bad as it is, and it is bad for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they're only a game out of first place because the rest of their division. 02:09:21 Speaker 6: Is so bad. 02:09:22 Speaker 4: They're 0-3. 02:09:22 Speaker 3: They're 0-3. 02:09:23 Speaker 20: They're only a

game out. Atlanta's got one win. New Orleans has one win. Carolina has one win. 02:09:29 Speaker 2: I'm just glad they didn't pay this guy $ 110 million like an hour ago. 02:09:33 Speaker 4: Well, real fast, let me defend NFL Shia LaBeouf real quick and Baker. 02:09:37 Speaker 3: I Okay. 02:09:40 Speaker 4: NFL above NFL above is what I've always liked to call him. Baker's the man. I love him. He just had an MVP caliber for me. It's so easy to blame a quarterback when all of a sudden the stats aren't there and the wins aren't there. Talk to me about separation. Is this just because Mike Evans left? Where's Chris Godwin? 02:10:00 Speaker 20: Chris Godwin is washed. He's dealt with so many injuries at this point. I think that you're spot on. I'm not willing to let Baker off of the hook completely because I don't think he's looked great. But you're right. The offensive line isn't protecting. And his wide receivers, he really misses Mike Evans. When they need that third down conversion, they don't have anybody to go to. Emeka Igbuka had a really nice start to his career last year. He fell off a cliff midway through the season. He's a slot receiver. That's not going to be a star. And that's who they're asking to be their star. They have a scat back in Bucky Irving, who's good and good. He's good, but he's good in spurts. You can't overuse him. And even he got banged up at the end of the game. This has been the issue with him. He's undersized. He's very shifty, but you can't give him the same kind of workload that Dijon Robinson gets with the Atlanta Falcons. So they just have a lot of holes. And I also don't think they have the head coach. to figure out how to plug those holes. 02:11:01 Speaker 4: They do not. 02:11:01 Speaker 2: And it's proven over the last three seasons because it's the same kind of play. It's the same thing. We're watching a repeat of the last two years. They're just so okay with mediocrity. It's really frustrating to watch. 02:11:12 Speaker 4: Let's move over to something that isn't mediocre. Let's talk about the Miami Dolphins. 02:11:17 Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. No, they are just downright bad. 02:11:19 Speaker 4: They strive for mediocrity. 02:11:22 Speaker 3: Thank God my Packers aren't alone. 02:11:24 Speaker 20: I actually thought this weekend the Dolphins looked better than the Bucs, if it means anything. 02:11:29 Speaker 3: That means nothing. 02:11:31 Speaker 5: Hey, they were within striking distance. I know the Bucs were too, but Miami, they were sniffing that upset. The Dolphins were scrappy this weekend. They haven't shown a lot. They have no talent. This could be, and I know that It's Monday, and it sounds like this is the day when you layer in all the hyperbole of the NFL. 02:11:51 Speaker 4: Sure am. 02:11:51 Speaker 20: They could be the least talented team I've ever seen in the NFL. They've got nothing on both sides of the ball. And their most talented player is Devon Achan. They lost him one series into the game. He's now done for the year with an ACL injury. 02:12:07 Speaker 3: Oh, my God. 02:12:07 Speaker 20: So they went from talentless to even less talented. 02:12:11 Speaker 9: To scab. 02:12:11 Speaker 4: Yeah. 02:12:12 Speaker 20: They are quarterback injury away from losing every game they play by double digits. I think Malik Willis can play. But, I mean, talk about a guy that you can't judge whatsoever. How are you supposed to know if he's good? If you think the Bucs aren't working with a lot of weapons, go look at the Dolphins. 02:12:30 Speaker 3: But they're scrappy. 02:12:31 Speaker 20: This is a young group that I think they have a lot of guys that have the right mentality. And that's all they're trying to build in Miami. All this season is about. is about resetting the culture for an organization that has been soft and diva-ridden for way too many years. And they're trying to be way more Midwest. 02:12:51 Speaker 4: It sounds like the Dolphins. You remember the movie The Replacements with Keanu Reeves? 02:12:55 Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah. It's exactly that. 02:12:57 Speaker 12: Right? 02:12:58 Speaker 3: It's that? Exactly that. 02:12:59 Speaker 4: That's awesome. 02:13:00 Speaker 20: It's like a Netflix movie. I'm not a bad football team. If you happen to get lost... and end up watching a Dolphins game. Watch for their rookie middle linebacker, Jacob Rodriguez. He is a movie character. This guy is so tough. I mean, I think he eats cleats during the halftime break. A tough guy that I think is helping to reset that image. 02:13:26 Speaker 5: Silver lining, the Miami Dolphins are a great team if you are in a survivor pool. 02:13:32 Speaker 4: Oh, he's picking it. 02:13:33 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 02:13:34 Speaker 20: Here's my problem, is one of the survivor pools that I'm in made me pick two teams this week. I picked the Chiefs as one, and I picked the Seattle Seahawks as the other one. And they lost to the Commanders my shot at $ 2 million down the tubes. 02:13:51 Speaker 3: All gone. 02:13:53 Speaker 4: You had media day for the Magic, right? 02:13:55 Speaker 3: I did. 02:13:55 Speaker 20: Had media day today. Always a whirlwind of a day, but it's just a quick reset into... The storylines, seeing how these guys have improved in terms of their physique, what their mentality is coming off of last year. 02:14:12 Speaker 3: If I can give the TLDR, if you will. Too long, didn't read. Yep. There seems to be every year. 02:14:24 Speaker 20: There's some sort of common denominator where every player has a similar attitude and approach. Last year was all about the weight of expectations. Finally, this team was supposed to do something. This year, it's a laser focus. 02:14:38 Speaker 4: They did something. They did the same thing they did the year before. 02:14:41 Speaker 20: And they were on the cusp of doing something really special, knocking off the one seed. 02:14:46 Speaker 4: Remember, they were up three to one. They wound up going. 02:14:49

Speaker 20: To a game seven. Franz got hurt. Jalen Suggs was a no show for the final two games in that series. Powell was a monster in the playoffs, which he's been for every year. He's been, he's made it to the playoffs, but he doesn't put it together in the regular season. Everybody seems to be locked in on the task at hand. And they know that if they lose, if they take their eye off the ball for a second, The Eastern Conference is so ridiculously loaded this year that they could really be up against it. So they need to put their best foot forward, stay healthy, and it seems like attitude-wise, I mean, look, it's always sunshine. 02:15:26 Speaker 3: And rainbows at a media day. 02:15:28 Speaker 4: Sure, yeah. 02:15:28 Speaker 20: It seems like everybody is kind of rowing in the right direction. 02:15:31 Speaker 4: Very nice. 02:15:31 Speaker 20: And then lastly, here's some UCF football. UCF surprised me this week. Keewon Jenkins, I thought, could not play the quarterback position. 19 of 20. In terms of his passing stats, which was one of the best completion percentages that we've seen outside of a McKenzie-Milton game years ago. So he was really impressive. UCF wins. Florida beat Ole Miss, who just beat LSU. And Florida skyrocketed in the AP Top 25. They're now the eighth-ranked team. This Florida team, I think they have the best offense in college football ever. I think they have a legitimate chance to make some noise when we get to the playoff. 02:16:07 Speaker 2: Every day between 3 and 6, it's 96.9 The Game with our buddy Brandon Kravitz. 02:16:10 Speaker 3: Good laugh for BK, guys! 02:16:12 Speaker 5: What can they find you online for your fantasy football and your picks? 02:16:18 Speaker 20: At Brandon Kravitz, you can find me across Twitter, Instagram, TikTok. I'm sharing a bunch of content from Magic Media Day, so go and find that on YouTube as well. 02:16:26 Speaker 3: You got a big dog. Thoughts? 02:16:28 Speaker 4: Yes, I had another really weird social interaction. I got flanked, and then I found out what happened. Dude, have you enjoyed Friday with me being attracted by a roofer? This is just another weird social interaction that kind of took my breath away. 02:16:45 Speaker 3: All right, we'll do that next. 02:16:49 Speaker 1: I agree. There's nothing wrong with being a Disney adult. 02:16:51 Speaker 4: But if you're a Chuck E. Cheese adult, go get some help when you get out of jail for fighting Wanda in the ball pit. 02:16:56 Speaker 3: That's fair. 02:16:58 Speaker 11: Oh, and Jack, just wanted to give a big old shout out to Brock Bowers for his 27 fantasy points. Fantastic. Won me my week. And also, I am jumping on the Raiders bandwagon. Patriots are always first in my heart. But Raiders, they got a little soft spot in there now. 02:17:15 Speaker 3: Go Raiders. Big T out. Geez. 02:17:19 Speaker 19: Wow. 02:17:21 Speaker 9: Wow. 02:17:22 Speaker 3: What an ass kiss. 02:17:25 Speaker 2: All right 407-916-1041 text us 77031 i'm jim there's deb hello. 02:17:30 Speaker 5: Yeah ross it's true fantasy football gives you strange alliances yeah. 02:17:34 Speaker 4: Yeah did you hear about the thing with um uh trevor no he he broke oh yeah broke through the line runs right up to the line to score ends on the score, and then kneels it down. 02:17:48 Speaker 5: And people are like, oh, well, they're trying to keep the clock running. There's seven minutes left in the game. 02:17:52 Speaker 14: More. 02:17:52 Speaker 4: Then today, if I'm right here. There's over eight minutes left. 02:17:56 Speaker 2: Then today he says during the interview that he did it because his buddy had him in fantasy or something like that. 02:18:02 Speaker 4: Did he say that? 02:18:03 Speaker 3: I think it was said because that's what I saw today. 02:18:06 Speaker 2: Like Trevor Lawrence said that, yeah, my buddy had me in fantasy and I couldn't score more points or something like that. 02:18:12 Speaker 3: Oh, not good. 02:18:14 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think there could be blowback on that. Yeah, I saw his response after the game, which he kind of laughed at himself going like, I'm trying to waste more time. The game is being a blowout, but they also score on the very next play. 02:18:27 Speaker 3: Yeah, they do. 02:18:28 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's exactly what the announcers were saying. I don't know about that, you know, but they did go ahead and score the next time. I think he just maybe misread the clock. 02:18:35 Speaker 1: Who knows? 02:18:36 Speaker 3: Or maybe he's just trying to be cute. Let's get some thoughts. 02:18:39 Speaker 4: Can he be more cute? 02:18:40 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, he can't. 02:18:41 Speaker 4: Let's get some thoughts. 02:18:42 Speaker 9: Yeah. 02:18:43 Speaker 3: It's weird. It's funny. Sometimes. It's Ross. 02:18:50 Speaker 4: Spelled like sauce. It's Ross Thoughts. 02:18:53 Speaker 3: It's Ross Thoughts. It's Ross Thoughts. It's Ross Thoughts. 02:19:10 Speaker 4: All right, just throwing that out there. It's not just car accidents. If you slip and fall, boom, just call Mo. I am here to tell you, Jim, I'm on a roll. I'm on a sweet little streak of having really fun human interactions, whether it's my dentist telling me to, yeah, bro, we got to get those whizzies out, or Friday having a, you know. 02:19:32 Speaker 3: Stud of a roofer. 02:19:33 Speaker 4: Essentially Leonidas knock on my front door and give me a roof door quote. 02:19:38 Speaker 3: Get your wife all. 02:19:40 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was bad, dude. All of that. It was different. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 02:19:44 Speaker 4: I think we also need to fix our AC because it's getting hot in here. 02:19:48 Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah. 02:19:50 Speaker 2: Well, no, you don't need to fix the AC because it's brought to you by Mills Air. She got straight 50 shades on your ass, didn't she? 02:19:56 Speaker 3: It was wild, dude. 02:19:57 Speaker 4: But this also happened. Years ago, when I first moved into the house, my wife decided to

basically give me a lot of work eight years down the road by planting bamboo. 02:20:10 Speaker 3: Oh, my God. 02:20:13 Speaker 4: I don't even know if you can do it legally now. 02:20:16 Speaker 3: I don't. It should be illegal. 02:20:17 Speaker 4: There are certain types. 02:20:18 Speaker 3: Yeah, dude. 02:20:19 Speaker 2: There are certain types of bamboo that you literally cannot even plant anymore. 02:20:22 Speaker 4: Well, that is actually pretty interesting that you say that because that's where we're going here. 02:20:29 Speaker 3: Okay. 02:20:29 Speaker 4: So my wife plants this bamboo. We have bamboo in our backyard. We have bamboo in our side yard. And it was time. I am done with this bamboo. It produces so much trash. 02:20:41 Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, it's terrible. 02:20:42 Speaker 4: And it looks really good. But then the freeze that happened this year kind of killed a lot of the bamboo. 02:20:49 Speaker 2: And the bamboo, when it grows in the stands, what happens is this. All the trash falls down into the middle of the stand. A lot of it does. 02:20:57 Speaker 4: And that becomes like a harbor for rats. So your boy said, nay, nah, today's the day. Grab my saw. 02:21:06 Speaker 3: Whoa, whoa. Grab a saw. It's electric. Don't worry, dude. It's not that strong. All right. All right. And it's a sawzall. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 02:21:14 Speaker 4: Reciprocating saw. It's the one that I hold like a javelin. 02:21:16 Speaker 3: Yeah. Not with the javelin. 02:21:19 Speaker 4: It's the one that I kind of like a harpoon. 02:21:21 Speaker 3: That's fine. Like a stab. 02:21:23 Speaker 4: You don't stab. You're not stabbing. Like a fire hose. Yeah, yeah. 02:21:26 Speaker 3: Like a fire hose. 02:21:27 Speaker 4: It's a fire hose saw. So I'm using this fire hose saw, right? 02:21:31 Speaker 3: That's okay. 02:21:31 Speaker 4: And I'm ripping through the bamboo because the problem is there's a bunch of health. This is important to listen to right here. there's a bunch of healthy bamboo before the dead bamboo oh okay so you. 02:21:45 Speaker 3: Got a way through the bamboo yes you have to get. 02:21:48 Speaker 4: Into the middle of the bamboo yes so i start going like all right let me see if i can just cut around long story short i end up cutting it all down lock on my hand oh you cut it all down i cut it all down i said hey it's already grown back it'll be there So, I mean, this bamboo has been growing at this part of my yard for the last, like, eight years. 02:22:08 Speaker 3: And how tall was it? Girthy, dog. 02:22:10 Speaker 4: It's been wide and tall. Looks like a can, right? Like the size of a Coke can? Even thicker. Oh, wow. We've got some pretty thick stalks of bamboo. So I grab the saw, I rip it down. And I quickly realized that, man, any time I have sawed something down, every time it falls over, I'm like, wow, that's a lot bigger than I thought. 02:22:30 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 02:22:31 Speaker 3: It is shocking. 02:22:32 Speaker 4: When something hits the ground, you're like, well, that's. You're like, the end's way over there. 02:22:37 Speaker 3: I could have really ruined the house. 02:22:39 Speaker 4: I'm so happy it went that way. You know, like I had a couple of those calls when it comes to these big pieces of bamboo. I get all the bamboo out. I realized this is a lot more bamboo than I thought. It's an assload of bamboo. I put it in my driveway, and I go, it's dusk, it's time, I'll take care of this tomorrow. I do not take care of it the next day. Okay, so it's still laying there. It's still laying there. 02:23:03 Speaker 7: All right. 02:23:03 Speaker 4: But now we are just parking in the street as my driveway is filled with bamboo. 02:23:08 Speaker 2: Now, when you're saying it is literally full, how many total stalks of bamboo? From me to you, tall? Not tall, but yeah, it's a lot. 02:23:17 Speaker 3: Okay. It's an entire, it is. 02:23:19 Speaker 4: So it's a truckload? 02:23:20 Speaker 3: Truckload. 02:23:21 Speaker 4: Okay, nice. At the very least, I would say like a van load. 02:23:24 Speaker 3: Okay. 02:23:24 Speaker 4: And what are you going to do with that? Well- I start to start breaking it by hand by hand to put it in a bag so I can throw it away. 02:23:33 Speaker 3: Okay. 02:23:34 Speaker 4: And then as I'm doing that, literally yesterday, this was my big project yesterday. Take care of the bamboo as I'm taking care of the bamboo out of nowhere. Now, mind you, this is where it gets kind of good here. I've been mugged before. So you can't really come up on my six without me going like that. I got mugged. I didn't see it coming. And now I have this weird subconscious PTSD of like anybody on my six, seven. 02:24:04 Speaker 3: Or five. 02:24:05 Speaker 4: Just people appearing in front of you. Yeah, yeah. I get pretty jumpy there. 02:24:10 Speaker 3: And I'll put up the chops, dude. I'll put up some fists. I'm right there with you. 02:24:14 Speaker 2: If I got mugged at gunpoint twice in one weekend, I would be also extra sketch. 02:24:18 Speaker 4: So, like, I am doing this bamboo. I'm doing this bamboo. And I've got my headphones in, right? And for what it's worth, I'm listening to country music. Are you really? 02:24:28 Speaker 3: I really am. Who are you listening to? No idea. Just let the music kept playing. It was pretty good. 02:24:33 Speaker 4: And all of a sudden, I snap the bamboo. I put it in the trash can. I snap the bamboo, put it in the trash can, snap the bamboo. An Asian woman is standing in front of me. Oh, my God. She's like 4'11. Like the ring? Her car is in like half my driveway, half the street. 02:24:53 Speaker 3: Oh, no. 02:24:53 Speaker 4: And I'm like, I shriek. 02:24:54 Speaker 9: I shriek. 02:24:59 Speaker 4: So we're already off on a really weird first step. 02:25:02 Speaker 3: All right. 02:25:03 Speaker 4: And her husband is there, and she has this maroon van, and I am so confused. 02:25:12 Speaker 3: No, Jack. You recorded this? I did

not. 02:25:16 Speaker 4: That is offensive, random Asian women speaking. This is your Instagram story from the day. 02:25:22 Speaker 1: No, it is not. 02:25:26 Speaker 4: She goes, I'm not going to do the accent, but just know, huge accent. 02:25:32 Speaker 3: What's she say? 02:25:34 Speaker 4: The first thing she goes, I'm here for bamboo. God damn it, Jack. Now, did she play that on her phone? 02:25:47 Speaker 3: No. Jack just played that now. 02:25:51 Speaker 4: To be fair, it's voice activated. You triggered it when you said bamboo. 02:25:55 Speaker 3: And here's the thing. Who coded that? 02:25:59 Speaker 4: What software update was that? 02:26:01 Speaker 3: So, and call it for what it is. 02:26:03 Speaker 4: When she goes, I want bamboo. It is a little, like, too on the money, even for my liberal heart and eyes. Where I'm like, what is happening? Where's Ashton Kutcher? 02:26:20 Speaker 3: What's happening? 02:26:21 Speaker 4: So she basically is rolling up, asking you for this bamboo? 02:26:24 Speaker 8: Yes. 02:26:24 Speaker 3: How'd she know you? Isn't this your backyard? 02:26:26 Speaker 4: This is, I put all of the bamboo in my driveway. And it's been out there now for like a day and a half, maybe two. So she's done like four drive-bys. Yeah, it was calling her. 02:26:36 Speaker 13: Whatever. 02:26:37 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, dude. 02:26:38 Speaker 4: It sends out a signal when you cut it. 02:26:39 Speaker 3: Down to them. Every day she saw that bamboo pile growing and she died a little inside. 02:26:45 Speaker 2: You don't know this, but when you cut bamboo down, there's a panda-like... Like Batman. 02:26:51 Speaker 3: You're sure she wasn't living inside it? I am dead serious. 02:26:55 Speaker 4: I'm not saying anything offensive here. But like I said, it was a little too on the money for me to not be like, is this real? Is this really happening? 02:27:05 Speaker 3: You thought you were being punked? 02:27:07 Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought like, is this a catch? And then her partner, husband, came out of the van and he... What did he sound like? Dude, he was an old... white stoner guy oh he's an old white burnout dude he's a. 02:27:24 Speaker 2: Like an old vietnam guy that met his uh wife over vietnam. 02:27:27 Speaker 21: I'm not gonna say that but probs kind of feels like it he kind of felt like it yeah and he's like hey man what's up like he has this like uh she's been here 40 years zero attempt to pick up the language drives zero attempts drives the school. 02:27:41 Speaker 4: Bus from the Simpsons vibes. He comes out and I go like, yeah. So, like, do you want that? You can have the bamboo. 02:27:49 Speaker 3: And then she. 02:27:50 Speaker 4: Puts her hand on her chest and. 02:27:52 Speaker 3: Goes, why did you cut that? And I go, because there's a freeze. 02:28:03 Speaker 4: And I had to get the dead bamboo out to get, so I had to cut the healthy stuff. 02:28:08 Speaker 3: And she goes, ah. She really did die a little inside. 02:28:13 Speaker 4: I hurt this woman's feeling as I'm just snapping Bamboo in my driveway. You're breaking her own legs. So finally, she, I guess, in my mind, she's confronting something that I'm doing bad. 02:28:27 Speaker 3: Right, right. 02:28:28 Speaker 4: It's a cultural thing, right? 02:28:29 Speaker 11: Yeah. 02:28:29 Speaker 3: I don't know. 02:28:30 Speaker 4: But that's what you're assuming. I am still being ignorant. I have no idea. All I know is that, yes, you can have the bamboo. Oh, she did ask for it. About an hour later, Jim. To give it a proper burial? 02:28:43 Speaker 3: Yeah, probably. 02:28:45 Speaker 4: I am not lying. An hour later, another knock on my door. And the door opens, and it's the Asian woman with a $ 20 bill. 02:28:51 Speaker 8: Aww. 02:28:54 Speaker 3: You want sex? 02:28:55 Speaker 5: She's asking to. 02:28:59 Speaker 3: Buy a donkey. Me love you long time. Me so honey. 02:29:03 Speaker 4: She gives me the $ 20. And I go, it's fine. You don't have to pay for the bamboo. I was just trying to throw it away. 02:29:12 Speaker 3: Oh, don't say that. You're going to make her cry. 02:29:14 Speaker 4: And she gives me the $ 20. And I am not joking. 02:29:18 Speaker 3: This van. 02:29:19 Speaker 4: every window is cracked open because it's a van that, so like the thing can't crack all the way out. So it's sticking out everywhere and it looks like the van has a green Afro. The entire van is packed with bamboo. It's that much bamboo. It's that much bamboo. They took basically all of the bamboo off your driveway. 02:29:36 Speaker 3: All of it. 02:29:37 Speaker 4: What are they going to do with it? Did they ever say what they were going to do with it? So get this. This is what really happened. 02:29:42 Speaker 3: I get home. I open up. 02:29:44 Speaker 4: I get back home. 02:29:45 Speaker 3: I call my wife. I go, babe, you're not going to believe this. 02:29:48 Speaker 4: The luck you got. This Asian woman just did like the majority of my yard work today. And she goes, oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you. 02:29:57 Speaker 3: I put that on Facebook Marketplace. 02:30:09 Speaker 20: I had no idea dude i thought i. 02:30:12 Speaker 4: Didn't i was in a whirlwind did you keep the 20 i kept the 20 okay yeah i kept that what she put it up there for did she just say come and get it no so this did you see the ad olivia my wife put up the ad said free bamboo oh free bamboo it's in our driveway and then she saw that bamboo and now another plot twist goes oh babe I'm not doing the accent. 02:30:34 Speaker 3: Babe, we have to go. 02:30:36 Speaker 4: And then they get in the car because apparently this bamboo that my wife bought eight years ago has exploded in price and value. And because we've been growing it for eight years. 02:30:47 Speaker 1: Oh, wow. 02:30:48 Speaker 4: Very. You can't buy what I essentially just destroyed because I was like, it makes a mess. 02:30:55 Speaker 2: Do you have any idea how much it was worth? Like how much

bamboo you actually gave away in value? 02:31:00 Speaker 4: I don't really know. And I am choosing to not find out. 02:31:08 Speaker 5: What kind of bamboo is it? Is it still good when you cut it off? I think you can just stick it in the ground and it'll grow. 02:31:13 Speaker 3: Really? I swear I think it's that easy. 02:31:15 Speaker 9: Yeah. 02:31:16 Speaker 3: Not to mention furniture, they're making sheets out of bamboo, chopsticks, fishing poles. 02:31:22 Speaker 4: My wife was, I tell my wife the same exact story after I find out that, okay, so you brought people here. Okay, good to know. You know I don't like people on my six. My wife asks, she goes, what are you playing on? 02:31:39 Speaker 3: Why this bamboo? 02:31:41 Speaker 4: Oh my God. And her response was like, I have been looking for this exact, like my bamboo, this exact bamboo for a very long time. Do you remember what it was called? No. Incense bamboo? 02:31:54 Speaker 3: I'm not looking it up. Giant timber? I'm not looking it up. 02:31:57 Speaker 12: I'm not. 02:31:58 Speaker 2: I will tell you this. If it's giant timber bamboo. 02:32:04 Speaker 3: It was enormous. 02:32:05 Speaker 4: If it is that. 02:32:07 Speaker 2: A 25-gallon, in other words, like a pot that's about this big around and about that tall with that bamboo in there, how much do you think that is right now? 02:32:15 Speaker 4: And how many of those do you think you would have? 02:32:17 Speaker 2: In a pot that would be like a witch's kettle, like about this big around, which would be like maybe two feet, and then maybe a foot and a half or two feet deep. 02:32:25 Speaker 3: $ 500. How many of those do you think you had? 02:32:28 Speaker 4: I think I had like probably upwards like 13 like Campbell can-sized chunks like tubes shoots of bamboo okay. 02:32:40 Speaker 2: So that's probably two of these so you sold uh that bamboo for twenty dollars and according to. 02:32:48 Speaker 4: This if it's trying to give it away if it's. 02:32:50 Speaker 2: Giant timber bamboo you gave around one thousand one hundred dollars worth of bamboo away today a 25 gallon giant timber bamboo is 550 from plants express and you you gave away two of those Even the minimum one, you gave away $ 250 worth. 02:33:08 Speaker 3: So keep that $ 20? Is that what you're saying? Keep the $ 20? 02:33:12 Speaker 4: Hold that $ 20, homie. Did you not want me to tell you that? I'm sorry, dude. 02:33:17 Speaker 3: No, it's not like I. 02:33:18 Speaker 4: I'll take it back. I don't think I said anything beforehand that I didn't want to find out. 02:33:25 Speaker 3: You may have yelled it, actually. A handful of times. Those are your raw thoughts. 02:33:30 Speaker 4: Today's Ross Johnson brought to you by... I'm going to call Moe just because I need a friend right now. 02:33:36 Speaker 3: Is that a service he provides? I like that. I think so. I'm out.

Deb, let's do You Heard It Here First. 02:37:59 Speaker 1: It's time for You Heard It Here First on the Jim Colbert Show. 02:38:03 Speaker 3: Yeah, several days of king tides plus a full moon have carved massive sand cliffs along parts of New Smyrna Beach, washing away large amounts of sand and money. leaving some seawalls fully exposed. In fact, at 27th Avenue Beach Park and other sections of the coastline, the erosion has created sand cliffs estimated to be four to five feet high. Florida Sea Grant Extension agent Anna Zangroni says it's really not the flooding, it's sea level rise, making these types of flooding events more frequent, longer lasting, and capable of reaching farther inland. It was a whole bunch of factors that culminated in that really intense flooding without a drop of rain being present. And you know Volusia County officials have to be happy because the erosion comes months after Volusia County completed its $ 25 million South Berm project, which added sand to the beach to help protect... homes, roads, and other infrastructure from storm-driven waves. 02:38:59 Speaker 2: Man, you're looking at it. Kids are like playing. They're jumping off of it. There's a car parked next to it, and the cliffs are higher than the car. 02:39:05 Speaker 3: It's huge. A lot of beachgoers say they were just shocked to see how much it's changed. All right, a warm water bacteria infection has killed a Pinellas County resident. The state says the bacteria behind the flesh-eating disease has Claim the life of someone aged 50 to 54. They generally don't release a lot of information. Four other people have died from Vibrio in Florida this year. Bay, Broward, Marion, and Palm Beach counties. The state has recorded 23 cases overall. For those who don't know, the bacteria is found in brackish seawater and can be acquired from eating raw or undercooked shellfish. Also, people with open wounds or cuts can also be exposed to Vibrio. through direct contact with seawater. All right, tonight's Powerball drawing is worth an estimated $ 389 million. I know, poultry, by comparison. Sure, yeah.

Odds of winning all that money, roughly one in $ 292 million. And if things don't work out for you Monday, there's $ 300 million up for grabs the next day in the Mega Millions drawing.
