00:01:54
Speaker 2: Well, it was nice to see. It's a glowing orb in the sky.
00:01:58
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:02:00
Speaker 2: It was there for a few minutes, and then it disappeared, and then it kind of came back out. What do they call that?
00:02:07
Speaker 6: I don't know, but early, I'm like, looks like two days.
00:02:12
Speaker 3: Okay. Looks like four straight days. No bike ride. Oh, well.
00:02:15
Speaker 7: And then.
00:02:15
Speaker 3: Then it started coming, and I'm like, what is that light coming in my window?
00:02:19
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.
00:02:19
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, I'll do it. I've had painting I've had to do at my house now for like a week. And it's just trying to dodge the rain. And I'll tell you, I painted this morning. One half of the painting job I had to do, and it was just some touch-up stuff. But the problem is... You know, it takes it until 930 or 10 o'clock in the morning to get dry because that side of the house is always in the shade. Right.
00:02:39
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
00:02:40
Speaker 3: And then by the time it's that time, you have like an hour and a half or two hours before it starts raining. So I literally was out there this morning just kind of touching up. And as I'm driving to work, I look over to the left.
00:02:48
Speaker 6: I'm like.
00:02:49
Speaker 3: I'm going to see that washed out all over the patio when I get home.
00:02:51
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.
00:02:51
Speaker 2: And not to mention it's hard to paint when it's even just humid.
00:02:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely. Crazy day, though. Today is obviously election day. Everybody voted. I assume you guys voted early, correct?
00:03:02
Speaker 8: Yes. Yeah, yeah.
00:03:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, I voted the last day of early voting.
00:03:05
Speaker 3: I voted Friday. I hit my precinct this morning at around 738, Jack. Do you believe it was packed or do you believe it was thin?
00:03:13
Speaker 9: Thin.
00:03:15
Speaker 3: You?
00:03:16
Speaker 2: I'll say packed.
00:03:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was thin. I was like one of six people in the entire building.
00:03:21
Speaker 6: See, with early voting being as popular as it is, I just think that when you have that 12 hours at all those precincts, because there's so many more places to vote on Election Day proper, as opposed to early voting when you're just the isolated areas throughout the county. I just think it's really... kind of reduce the amount of voters that you see on Election Day.
00:03:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think people do that simply because they do not want to wait at the precinct on that day, or they don't have to worry about taking off work.
00:03:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, because if the line is really long and you thought your lunch hour was going to be enough to cover it, And you know you're not going to be able to make it to the polls before they close.
00:04:03
Speaker 10: Right.
00:04:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could see for those folks. Definitely just don't want to take any chances because you don't know what to expect.
00:04:08
Speaker 3: That's kind of why I expected it to be crowds today because the area we live is a pretty blue-collar area. Guys out there working their asses off every single day. I figured people would go in before they went to work to vote if that was the case. and was expecting to see a little bit of a crowd. I actually went up there that early because if it was too crowded, if the line was out the door, I would live a mile away from my voting precinct. So I would have just taken off and gone back home and waited for it to clear out a
Load full transcript
little bit. When I pulled up and saw nobody there, I actually wondered if I had the right place. Is it today? Oh my God, did I sleep through this one too?
00:04:42
Speaker 6: We're getting so used to convenience and having things available to us on demand, when we want, where we want. and early voting kind of allows you to kind of do it on your own schedule when you had like two weeks of any day to go.
00:04:55
Speaker 3: Hey how much how much do you think demographics matter when it comes to that because i i i kind of chalked it up to this i chalked it up to the fact that like the the the people that live in the area where i live are a little bit older a little bit more established i've been there for a while this where we live is not where you move with youth you know you don't you know you go to claremont or winter garden if you're younger you want to A hipper place, it's more rural. But Eustis, Humatilla, those are kind of like sleepy bedroom communities. And it's a little bit older up there. So I just kind of thought that most people who are a little bit older are voting by mail or voting early. And that was just my take on why it was so slow. And I would figure maybe areas like your downtown Baldwin Park area, maybe over in Soto. And some of the more progressive areas that they maybe maybe they went today. I don't know. I don't know if the demos matter.
00:05:42
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if you remember, we've been talking that over five million Floridians, nearly 40 percent of the electorate had already cast their ballot before today.
00:05:50
Speaker 3: Fifty three million total Americans.
00:05:52
Speaker 2: So, yeah, I mean, there's early voting records being broken left and right all over the country. So maybe that's part of it. Just people didn't know what to expect today.
00:06:00
Speaker 8: Right.
00:06:00
Speaker 2: Is there going to. Are they going to get hassled? Are the lines going to be really long?
00:06:05
Speaker 3: I saw the fewest amount of campaigners because in a couple of these precincts last time I voted, the actual candidate themselves were out there holding up the signs with their constituents, waving and saying, hi, vote for me, the whole nine yards. Do you wave? Yeah, I'm cordial to them, but they weren't there this morning. There was nobody there. I'm telling you, man, it was wild. It was wild. But I have to tell you, everybody was very pleasant. The one thing I do notice, there's no partisan stuff at the precinct I go to. They're just kind of happy you're there. That's what the overwhelming consensus was when I walked in and spent a few minutes talking to the people around there, that they were just happy you came to vote. That's all that really mattered. By whom? What people were you talking to? The poll workers? The poll workers. There shouldn't be any partisanship there. You're right. There should not be. But in that in the case that there can be last time I went, there was a lot of a lot of magas there. And it
was a way different experience than it was this time.
00:07:03
Speaker 6: I mean, typically the any campaigning has to be a certain amount of feet away.
00:07:08
Speaker 11: Right.
00:07:09
Speaker 2: I believe so.
00:07:09
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:07:10
Speaker 6: OK, so from the but once you are at the poll, you're not supposed to. campaign at all you're not even supposed to wear things that are on the ballot and i didn't get any of that so it's like none of that happened but the poll workers shouldn't be campaigning that's just no no no they didn't really they're not doing that at all they're just making conversation they were just kind of happy people are coming.
00:07:29
Speaker 2: Out absolutely and as happy as you are to vote uh just remember take a picture of the i voted sticker Do not take a picture of your ballot.
00:07:37
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:38
Speaker 2: You have to remember that's against the law.
00:07:40
Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
00:07:40
Speaker 2: In most places.
00:07:41
Speaker 3: I've already posted mine. Yeah.
00:07:44
Speaker 2: You know, that's not true.
00:07:45
Speaker 3: How many design choices did you have for your sticker?
00:07:48
Speaker 2: Two.
00:07:49
Speaker 6: So I saw a second one, but I took the one she handed me, and I mentioned yesterday, not real pleased with it.
00:07:55
Speaker 3: Yeah. Not real pleased. We have two, and I was talking to one of the workers, and I was like, and I didn't know if one meant something and the other one didn't, you know, or whatever. So he just said, no, she goes, no, these are just two designs. I also found out Jack, that when you mentioned your sticker the other day, somebody texted in and said that that sticker was designed by a middle school student. You know, the one you were ragging on. Yeah. Okay. Well, guess what?
00:08:20
Speaker 6: And I think that I still maintain middle schoolers, worst human beings on the planet and their art sucks.
00:08:25
Speaker 3: And I think that one of these had to have been designed by a student or somebody as well, because it looked very rudimentary. Matter of fact, I even said to the lady, I said, well, That one looks like it was done by a kid. The other one on the left looks like it was done by the city. So which one did you get from Lake County?
00:08:38
Speaker 2: We actually didn't grab one. We looked at the designs and went, eh.
00:08:42
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
00:08:43
Speaker 2: But I think that's a big contest in a lot of states around the country. That's one of the ways to get kids involved in civics since they're not allowed to vote would be the one to design the I voted sticker.
00:08:53
Speaker 6: I like that idea, but– The one I had was, it mentioned the 250 anniversary. And it, I don't know, a lot of buildings. The I Voted was kind of lost. It was like I was doing a mini spy.
00:09:05
Speaker 3: Where's the I Voted? Right, right, right.
00:09:07
Speaker 2: How was your sticker?
00:09:08
Speaker 3: Were you
happier with your sticker? My sticker is the one that's the one done by the city, so it's nice. It has the city skyscape in the background. So you crapped on children's artwork as well? Yeah, yeah, I didn't take that one. It was bad. I would have told her to her face, too. Or him, whomever. I would have gladly said, this is not for me. It's too fuzzy. Yeah, you and your friends suck, and stop vaping. Right, exactly. And stop vaping. And don't poop back my front porch, either, you sons of bitches. How dare you? All right, 407-916-1041, text 77031. CNN is supposed to have what they call their voters poll, which is formerly known as exit polls.
00:09:43
Speaker 2: Oh, right, right.
00:09:44
Speaker 3: Around 5 o'clock, they're supposed to have some basic numbers start rolling through. So we'll keep our ear out for that for sure.
00:09:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, so here in Florida, again, we're not going to start to get election results until at least eight o'clock. That will be the first time we'll hear results being called, because for those who don't know. Parts of the panhandle are in a completely different time zone, and their polls will be open after ours close.
00:10:07
Speaker 3: And then Melbourne and that area down there closed down a couple of their precincts as well. They didn't close them. Or they moved them, I should say.
00:10:12
Speaker 2: They moved them, yeah. We'll talk about that coming up, yeah.
00:10:15
Speaker 6: It was the election of 2000. It was the Gore-Bush election. where they called the state for Gore at about 7.15, 7.20, and then.
00:10:25
Speaker 3: They were like, oh, well, some of the polls are still open in Florida. Get out of here with me, right? Exactly. Just hold your horses, buddy. It's all the national news tomorrow.
00:10:36
Speaker 6: And, of course, that's the one that came down to a few hundred ballots, and they stopped the recount. It was the hanging Chad year, right?
00:10:42
Speaker 2: Oh, that was the dimpled Chad, the pregnant Chad, the hanging Chad.
00:10:46
Speaker 3: So many Chads.
00:10:47
Speaker 2: Poor Chad.
00:10:48
Speaker 3: So many Chads. The butterfly ballot. Oh, man.
00:10:51
Speaker 2: Although I do have to say, in all the age of digital and stuff, I do like having just a pen and a paper ballot.
00:10:58
Speaker 3: I do as well. I love that. The optical scanners. Yep.
00:11:00
Speaker 6: And we've had them in Seminole County. In 2000, I believe, we were voting that way. But that's when I interviewed the supervisor of elections at the time, just saying, Because I always wanted a paper receipt. Have a hard copy receipt. Use electronics to count it. However, have the receipt in case you needed it. And I just think it's the best method.
00:11:23
Speaker 2: I really do, too.
00:11:24
Speaker 3: Super formal for me this morning was kind of wild, right? So I've never experienced this part of it. So you walk up. You go to this person here.
00:11:32
Speaker 2: I think I know what you're going to say.
00:11:33
Speaker 3: You give them your ID. You scan the ID. The ID comes up. It shows me as the voter roll. It did not have my suffix on my name, which is wild because there were. My grandfather's passed, but my father's still alive. Although he lives in Polk County, I'm the third. So my dad's the junior, and when my grandfather was still alive, he was senior, and we actually had some problems at one point. I got sent some of his bills and stuff.
00:12:01
Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
00:12:02
Speaker 3: So when I said that there was no suffix, they freaked out. They were like, I'm like, I'm the third. And I know that doesn't seem like it should matter, but my dad has the exact same name, and he lives in this state, except he's junior. So they actually went through a little thing, and they found that for me. They fixed it, and then they gave me this receipt. And I take the receipt over to the ballot guy. The ballot guy picks up the receipts and he goes, this is your ballot. This matches this ballot, right?
00:12:24
Speaker 2: That's what I thought you were going to mention was how they make sure that the number on your receipt matches the ballot that they hand you.
00:12:29
Speaker 3: They give you like a receipt like you'd get from Publix or whomever, wherever. And he holds it up with both your ballots because our ballots was a front and a back and then a front.
00:12:37
Speaker 2: Yep, and a second page.
00:12:38
Speaker 5: Right.
00:12:38
Speaker 3: And then he holds it up and he says, that matches all three of those, right? I look at him and go, yeah. He goes, right. I go, yeah. He goes, he's like, okay, puts it down, puts it in a little basket, hands me my things and moves on. You got to get it right and you got to make sure.
00:12:50
Speaker 6: Like for me, I started signing mine and they, there's a, you know, they're like, there's a stylist to, if that's easier for you to sign your name.
00:12:56
Speaker 3: Cause when you do it with.
00:12:57
Speaker 6: Your finger, you're, you're trying to make it match what they're looking at.
00:13:01
Speaker 3: That's ridiculous.
00:13:02
Speaker 2: It's difficult. And if it doesn't match.
00:13:04
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:13:05
Speaker 6: And so I start signing my name and he's like, and you have three names here.
00:13:08
Speaker 3: I'm like, Oh yeah. How do I clear this? He's like, hit the clear button. JRB baby.
00:13:12
Speaker 8: Yeah.
00:13:13
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:13:13
Speaker 11: Yeah.
00:13:14
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:13:15
Speaker 3: All right, 407. It was a good experience, though.
00:13:17
Speaker 12: Yeah.
00:13:17
Speaker 3: Glad I did it, you know?
00:13:18
Speaker 2: It's a sacred experience.
00:13:20
Speaker 3: It sure is, yeah.

Speaker 2: Well, a woman uses social media, of all things, to escape her flooded home in Brevard County. Gas prices are down slightly as Americans head to the polls. And Collins English Dictionary has crowned this as Word of the Year.
00:13:55
Speaker 3: Terrified already.
00:13:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, you should be. But we're going to talk about that and more coming up next during JCS News.

00:14:54
Speaker 8: It's time for JCS News.
00:14:57
Speaker 5: Wow. Has this guy got to put his name on everything?
00:14:59
Speaker 3: It's in my contract, dude.
00:15:01
Speaker 1: Here's the news on the Jim Colbert Show.
00:15:04
Speaker 2: And JCS News is brought to you by that mortgage guy, Don. Unfortunately, city officials in Palm Bay have confirmed two storm-related deaths following that severe flooding. The victims are 34-year-old Joshua Bennett and 78-year-old Archie Richards. One of the men was found dead in his vehicle.
00:15:22
Speaker 3: No.
00:15:22
Speaker 2: Remember, we had all those people who had driven into the floodwaters and then didn't know how to get out.
00:15:27
Speaker 3: Wow.
00:15:27
Speaker 8: Yeah.
00:15:28
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, a shelter-in-place advisory remains in effect in Palm Bay as historic flooding continues to impact the area. City officials are urging residents to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel. Not the case if you've been on Instagram and you've been seeing the reels showing Floridians floating down the street, kind.
00:15:46
Speaker 3: Of like it's a lazy river. Paddle boards.
00:15:49
Speaker 2: Paddle boards, exactly. Swimming in the culverts. to avoid unnecessary travel. Palm Bay is also urging residents to report storm damage and safety concerns through an online portal. All right, a Brevard County woman credits social media for getting her and her family out of their flooded home. Brittany Grant says the water in her home in Palm Bay rose to two feet above her niece. She, her son, and their dogs had to find higher ground on the kitchen counter. Grant says she called 911, but no help was available. So she turned to social media to ask for help evacuating. Someone showed up in a paddleboard and another in a kayak.
00:16:32
Speaker 15: No way.
00:16:32
Speaker 2: And Grant's family was rescued. They're now staying with a friend, and Grant tells News 6 her faith in humanity has been restored.
00:16:40
Speaker 3: Sweet.
00:16:41
Speaker 2: Isn't that cool?
00:16:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very cool.
00:16:42
Speaker 2: All right. Of course, the other big story of the day is the fact that it's finally the midterm election day, and Florida Attorney General James Uthmeyer wants everyone to get out and vote, even those in flooded areas of the state like Palm Beach County, where he will be spending his election night.
00:16:59
Speaker 3: If you're in an area affected by flooding, go to the Secretary of State's website or your local supervisor of elections and make sure you know of available polling places that may have moved.
00:17:10
Speaker 2: It's really funny. Someone texted us at 77031 Sue saying that they had to float to vote.
00:17:16
Speaker 11: No way.
00:17:17
Speaker 3: That's funny.
00:17:19
Speaker 2: Now, Uthmeyer was appointed to his position by Governor DeSantis after Ashley Moody was appointed to fill the state's U.S. Senate seat left vacant by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, that means he's facing voters for the first time against former Florida Democratic legislator Jose Javier Rodriguez, a former labor lawyer from Miami who also served as assistant labor secretary under President Joe Biden. To that end, flooding is causing some disruption on Election Day in Brevard County. The elections office announced yesterday five precinct polling locations have been temporarily relocated. due to extreme flooding conditions, right? They said it's for the safety of both voters and poll workers. Four of those precincts are in Melbourne. One is in Palm Bay. You can get the details at votebrevard.gov. All right, Florida voters are weighing three proposed constitutional amendments alongside the candidates on today's ballot. Amendment 1 would expand the state's rainy day reserve fund, while Amendment 2 would eliminate property taxes on certain farm equipment used in agricultural and agritourism. Amendment 3, of course, that's the one that's received the most attention.
00:18:29
Speaker 8: Right.
00:18:30
Speaker 2: That would increase the homestead property tax exemption for many homeowners and reduce assessment growth limits on some non-homestead properties. All three measures, they all require at least 60% voter approval to become part. of the florida constitution all right today again is midterm election day across america voters heading to the polls are seeing slightly lower gas prices this is the part i like because listeners
always let us know what they're seeing right seven seven zero three one.
00:18:59
Speaker 3: I paid uh three ninety four i think the last time i gassed up right up the street here at.
00:19:05
Speaker 2: A 7-eleven That was, you gassed up on Monday?
00:19:09
Speaker 3: Something like that, yeah. What's today, Wednesday? Tuesday?
00:19:11
Speaker 2: Oh, no, wow, today's only Tuesday.
00:19:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it was Saturday when I did it. I've been doing that a lot today, Deb.
00:19:16
Speaker 2: Have you really?
00:19:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, just like I have to keep reminding, it's Tuesday. The time change thing, yeah, it's wild.
00:19:20
Speaker 2: I think so. Yeah, that's right. You had to stop after work on Friday. All right, well, AAA puts the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded at $ 4. 14. That's nationwide. That's down a couple cents from yesterday's and 12 cents cheaper than a week ago. But zoom out to one year ago, and average prices at the pump were hovering just north of $ 3 a gallon.
00:19:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:19:45
Speaker 2: Four states in the nation are seeing prices above $ 5. I bet you can name them.
00:19:52
Speaker 3: California.
00:19:52
Speaker 2: There you go.
00:19:53
Speaker 16: New York.
00:19:54
Speaker 4: No.
00:19:55
Speaker 12: Hawaii.
00:19:56
Speaker 3: Hawaii. Alaska.
00:19:58
Speaker 5: No.
00:19:58
Speaker 15: No.
00:20:00
Speaker 2: It is California, where it's more expensive than anywhere else in the nation. Washington State. Nevada, and Hawaii. Drivers in North Carolina are paying the least at $ 3. 38 a gallon.
00:20:14
Speaker 4: Wow.
00:20:15
Speaker 2: Not too bad, though, because AAA says Florida's average is $ 3.
00:20:19
Speaker 4: 86.
00:20:20
Speaker 3: Really?
00:20:20
Speaker 2: For regular unleaded.
00:20:22
Speaker 3: Not by the airport.
00:20:23
Speaker 2: No, never by the airport.
00:20:25
Speaker 3: $ 7, 000.
00:20:26
Speaker 2: An NTSB board member says he understands the frustration being felt by hundreds of of mobile home park residents who are displaced after that Learjet crashed in front of their community on Sunday. Those folks are now having to stay in a shelter. But Palm Beach County Commissioner Joel Flores says he's trying to improve their conditions.
00:20:50
Speaker 17: I've asked the administrator to see what we can do about getting these people into a temporary housing situation rather than a shelter. And I'm looking to work with nonprofits to see if we can do car rental assistance so that these people can get back to work.
00:21:05
Speaker 2: Other vehicles were left inside their community, but unfortunately that's now considered a crime scene.
00:21:10
Speaker 8: Yeah.
00:21:11
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:21:11
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:21:29
Speaker 2: Have no idea when they're going to be able to get back into their homes.
00:21:32
Speaker 3: Not to mention, it looks like it busted a water main right there. If you look at the pit where the plane hit,
I don't know if that's the rain filling it up, but there was like water bubbling in there as if it was flowing out of a main.
00:21:42
Speaker 2: I haven't heard anything about busting up a water main, but I know right after the plane hit, those folks were told, all right, you got to pack up and head out because this is now officially a crime scene. Also in South Florida, man, nothing like planning so long. Booking flights, buying clothes, getting ready to take the trip of a lifetime. An MSC cruise was canceled today after the ship was detained by the U.S. Coast Guard at the Port of Miami. An MSC spokesperson said the MSC Poesia cruise was canceled due to a, quote, regulatory matter, end quote, that it was unable to resolve in time for the sailing trip. The ship was supposed to depart Miami on Sunday for an 11-day cruise to the Caribbean.
00:22:33
Speaker 3: Send them all back home.
00:22:34
Speaker 9: Whoa!
00:22:35
Speaker 2: Guests are going to receive a full refund of their cruise fare, and they're also providing support to assist with their journey back home. But according to Cruise.blog, these are routine inspections, but usually do not significantly disrupt a ship's schedule, much less keep... canceled an 11-day cruise to the Caribbean.
00:22:55
Speaker 3: They're not paying off the right people. They must have found something gnarly or the bribe check did not go through. Something happened.
00:23:03
Speaker 6: So you're talking thousands of people now. Yeah, 3,000 people I think were supposed to be on the ship. Took the time off, paid to get there, parking the car. All the expenses that go with it. Yeah, the hotel the night before you disembark.
00:23:16
Speaker 3: And the more I've learned about cruising, as I am a cruiser a lot, a lot of people do come from out of the state. Like the last ship we were on, we were the rare ones from Florida. Matter of fact, people were marveling. that this is what we were doing considering we live 50 miles from the port.
00:23:30
Speaker 2: It's like, well, why else wouldn't you do it when you live 50 miles from the port?
00:23:34
Speaker 3: They're like, wow, you must go on one every weekend. I'm like, no, I don't, but it is nice having it here, but yeah. We know people who do it about every weekend. Exactly.
00:23:43
Speaker 5: Why not?
00:23:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, why not?
00:23:44
Speaker 2: But again, an 11-day cruise, you know that was not a cheap cruise.
00:23:48
Speaker 3: No, no, no.
00:23:49
Speaker 2: I mean, that's no four-day sojourn.
00:23:52
Speaker 3: I know where the seven-dayers land, you know, and I know MSC is actually— That's.
00:23:57
Speaker 2: A nice ship.
00:23:58
Speaker 3: They're coming up, man. They've done all right. We considered going on an MSC cruise recently. But we just got a better deal with a cruise we've been doing a long time. When you cruise with somebody more than three or four times, it's hard to switch because they throw so much free stuff at you. It's like when you buy Mac products, it's hard to go back to Windows. Right, exactly type thing.
00:24:16
Speaker 6: It's an Apple Windows thing. They encourage you and they give you perks to continue to stay with them. And it's like, do I want to give up all the credits I've built?
00:24:24
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
00:24:25
Speaker 3: If you want a lot of mail, just go on a Royal Caribbean cruise. And then you'll get all the mail. They will send you one a day.
00:24:32
Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
00:24:32
Speaker 3: That will send you one a day until you stop responding. Not as much as the political cards I've been getting.
00:24:38
Speaker 2: Yay, those end today! And the decidedly more pedestrian side, a daycare is damaged after it was hit by a car in Polk County. Happened yesterday morning in Winter Haven at Children of the King Enrichment Center. Winter Haven police say a Citrus Connection bus and a car collided. And the car wound up hitting the daycare. Five kids in the daycare were taken to the hospital as a precaution. That's the good news. The driver of the car was also taken to the hospital, but police say their injuries are non-life-threatening.
00:25:11
Speaker 8: Good.
00:25:12
Speaker 2: I think daycare should be one of those places like airports where they automatically have those.
00:25:16
Speaker 3: Those bars out front? Yeah, those pillars are like Target. This is the second one.
00:25:21
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly.
00:25:21
Speaker 3: The second one in a month. That's happened like in central Florida. And I'll tell you something else that didn't get enough coverage. Did you guys see that that car ran up onto that patio, that restaurant patio down on Orange Avenue? Yeah, yeah, yeah. When the banana came out? Yeah, that's when the banana thing. Oh, that's right. The banana lady. That patio was empty. That patio. If that patio had anybody on it, donezo.
00:25:42
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:25:42
Speaker 3: I mean, done. That thing went in hot. It took out a big concrete planter. It did, yeah.
00:25:46
Speaker 8: Exactly.
00:25:47
Speaker 2: And thank God, yeah, because that accident happened like at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning. But any earlier on a Halloween night could have been catastrophic. All right. Speaking of a car, an auto insurance company will be refunding its customers.
00:26:00
Speaker 8: Yeah.
00:26:01
Speaker 2: Florida Insurance Commissioner. Mike Yarowski announced yesterday he has secured over $ 46 million in excess profits from Infinity Auto Insurance Company. The money will be returned to policyholders within 60 days. He says other companies are also approaching the statutory threshold for excess profits, and he anticipates more announcements of refunds in the near future.
00:26:26
Speaker 5: Funny.
00:26:27
Speaker 2: South Florida's Sun Sentinel and the Orlando Sentinel do one story about them hiding insurance company profits, and now all of a sudden.
00:26:33
Speaker 3: Hey, you're getting a refund. Hey, you're getting a refund. Hey, just don't
look anymore.
00:26:37
Speaker 2: You're getting a refund.
00:26:38
Speaker 3: Stop looking.
00:26:40
Speaker 2: The Tampa Bay Rays are well represented among Major League Baseball's End of Season Award finalists. Third baseman Junior Caminero is a finalist for American League MVP after hitting... 42 home runs and driving in 101 runs. That's a good day. That is a good day. Ray's closer, Brian Baker, is up for the new American League Relief Pitcher of the Year Award. Manager Kevin Cash is a finalist for AL Manager of the Year after guiding Tampa Bay to an AL East title. Winners of the major awards will be announced beginning next week.
00:27:13
Speaker 8: Sweet.
00:27:14
Speaker 2: Colin's English dictionary has crowned– do you know? Have you seen the story?
00:27:19
Speaker 3: I haven't, but I'm pre-mad.
00:27:21
Speaker 2: Are you pre-mad?
00:27:22
Speaker 3: He's pre-mad about everything.
00:27:24
Speaker 2: I don't know why he's had three cookies.
00:27:26
Speaker 3: I'm pre-mad because I know it's going to be stupid. Only three? You know what? It's fine for you to question that. It's fine for you to question that.
00:27:36
Speaker 2: Mogging.
00:27:37
Speaker 3: Oh, God.
00:27:38
Speaker 2: Mogging has been crowned as word of the year.
00:27:41
Speaker 3: Mogging.
00:27:43
Speaker 2: Is believed to be derived from a mog, alpha male of the group.
00:27:50
Speaker 17: Oh, yeah.
00:27:50
Speaker 3: I thought it was like mogging. I thought it was like kind of faking being that.
00:27:54
Speaker 2: Means to outperform or outshine someone or something.
00:27:58
Speaker 3: Oh, okay. There you go.
00:27:59
Speaker 2: The term first appeared in bodybuilding culture around 2016 before becoming popularized on Internet forums like 4chan. And, of course, all your best decisions will come from 4chan.
00:28:11
Speaker 3: Right, or from any girl under 13. Because that's the only language they use.
00:28:18
Speaker 2: The expression has since entered everyday slang, a little 6-7 action, as digital speak makes its way offline. Mogging. Well, maxing was named another word of the day the other day.
00:28:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's everything maxing. Looks maxing. I guess. Nana maxing.
00:28:37
Speaker 2: And that's from dictionary.com has chosen maxing as the 2026 word of the year.
00:28:42
Speaker 3: It's their fault that we're… That we're crashing as a culture. Because they're accepting this stuff as normal. I know. That's the problem. I know.
00:28:51
Speaker 10: No, no, no.
00:28:52
Speaker 3: Skibbity isn't a word, sir. That isn't a thing.
00:28:57
Speaker 2: No, it is not.
00:28:58
Speaker 3: But it's fun to say. It is. Skibbity is a fun word to say. Skibbity. Skibbity.
00:29:03
Speaker 2: It's like grody to the max.
00:29:04
Speaker 3: No, that's way old.
00:29:06
Speaker 5: I know.
00:29:06
Speaker 3: Get out of here. Of course, yeah.
00:29:07
Speaker 2: That's Valley Girl.
00:29:07
Speaker 9: 83.
00:29:07
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:29:10
Speaker 3: Gag me with a
spoon?
00:29:11
Speaker 2: For sure. Becky, look at her butt. And that concludes your JCS News.
00:29:20
Speaker 3: All right, 407-916-1041. It doesn't hit the same with you, buddy. I'm going to be honest with you. All right, then you do it. Skibbity. Grand is your 3 o'clock keyword. I thought you meant the base. G-R-A-N-D. Go to realradio.fm and send that off for your chance at $ 1, 000. Back with the football following.
00:29:41
Speaker 1: It's time for the football follow-up on the Jim Colbert Show.
00:29:45
Speaker 3: You're right, sir. It is time for the football follow-up right here on the Jim Colbert Show. We're already at 104.1. This is where one of our lovely listeners will win something from us. And all they have to do is choose which member of the show had the best week in NFL picks. It's that easy, Jack. It is that easy.
00:30:03
Speaker 6: And we're coming off a week where last week Ross Padgett won for the second time.
00:30:08
Speaker 3: He had the best week. Two times.
00:30:10
Speaker 6: I've done it once in the past. Jim, you've had it once back in week five. However, Deb has been the big winner so far with three weeks of being the top dog on the show.
00:30:22
Speaker 3: Just remember.
00:30:24
Speaker 6: Past performance is not indicative of future results. For the season, Deb leads us with the overall picks. Actually, leads Ross by one pick, Jim, you by two, and.
00:30:36
Speaker 3: Me by seven.
00:30:37
Speaker 8: Damn.
00:30:38
Speaker 3: I'm in the basement this year. Damn. All right, Deb. One, two, three, four, or five?
00:30:44
Speaker 2: I'm feeling three.
00:30:46
Speaker 3: Three. That is Tony. Tony, how are you, buddy?
00:30:50
Speaker 5: Good.
00:30:50
Speaker 13: How you doing?
00:30:51
Speaker 3: Doing great, buddy.
00:30:51
Speaker 5: All right.
00:30:52
Speaker 3: Who do you think did it? Who do you think had the best week in NFL picks this week?
00:30:56
Speaker 2: I'm going to go with Uncle Jack.
00:30:58
Speaker 8: With me?
00:30:59
Speaker 3: Uncle Jackson.
00:31:00
Speaker 6: You heard that? I'm in the basement. However, as a Raider fan, I know I had that game right. Well, I got lucky, right?
00:31:11
Speaker 3: They did.
00:31:12
Speaker 6: However, with 12 correct, I did win the week.
00:31:16
Speaker 3: Congratulations! There you go. Right out of the gate. Right out of the gate. There we go, Tony. That's rare. That never, ever happens.
00:31:24
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:31:25
Speaker 3: Like, it's hardly ever happens. Yeah, Jack had a really, really good week this week.
00:31:28
Speaker 8: 12 right.
00:31:30
Speaker 3: And if you win last night.
00:31:33
Speaker 6: I had the point. If I switch it to Chicago, I would have took the money.
00:31:36
Speaker 3: And the funny thing is, is I believe out of everybody who chooses in our game, only one person took the Bears. No, there was a handful. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:31:46
Speaker 6: There was a handful. Of the ones that were leading, was it just one person? No, there were four of us tied for first place in the league. Two had the Bears. Two had Seattle. Yeah, I thought yesterday you only said one had the Bears. One I knew because he was a Bears fan.
00:32:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:32:02
Speaker 2: I got to say, though, the Bears are kind of feeling a little bit like the Brewers this year.
00:32:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Bears do look good.
00:32:07
Speaker 2: They really kind of feel like a destined team to kind of go all the way this year.
00:32:12
Speaker 3: That defense is crazy.
00:32:13
Speaker 4: Crazy.
00:32:14
Speaker 2: I had a feeling, too, I should have switched.
00:32:16
Speaker 3: Man, that means Seattle couldn't get anything going. They were swarming the football. That entire team just depends on how well Caleb plays. That's it. I mean, if he plays great, and he did, every single pass, it just seemed like Chicago kept coming up with the ball. If he plays well, they play well. Chicago's a real interesting team.
00:32:35
Speaker 9: They are.
00:32:37
Speaker 2: And it's good to see, right? What are you saying and who are you?
00:32:41
Speaker 6: You're supposed to hate Chicago.
00:32:44
Speaker 3: I know. The Bears only had their run back in the 80s. Did they have a run with Mitch Trubisky when he came in? He just kind of flopped immediately, right? I don't believe so.
00:32:55
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, right?
00:32:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, 85. 85, yeah.
00:32:56
Speaker 3: Jim McMahon in the fridge. Yeah, Mike Ditka, God rest his soul.
00:33:00
Speaker 6: Mike Ditka said his regret about that game was letting the fridge score on the one-yard line instead of giving the ball to Walter Payton to get a Super Bowl touchdown.
00:33:08
Speaker 3: That's right, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was the Super Bowl shuffle year.
00:33:12
Speaker 2: Da Bears.
00:33:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:33:14
Speaker 7: Wow.
00:33:14
Speaker 3: That was a fun team. There was a lot of hype around that team. Yeah, Jim McMahon. I remember Jim McMahon was really fun because he wore the headbands. And at the time, there were people wearing the Malcolm X hats or X or whatever. And he wore a headband, and it just had an O on it.
00:33:30
Speaker 8: Yeah.
00:33:33
Speaker 3: And it pissed people off. But he was that guy. He wore sunglasses all the time. Yeah. And people thought he was a douchebag because of that. But he actually had a medical issue where he had to wear sunglasses because his eyes were real affected by the sunlight.
00:33:46
Speaker 2: It's like Bono. Bono always wears sunglasses because his eyes are blue and all the camera lenses and stuff really... Screw up his eyes.
00:33:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a really interesting football team. That was a good time, man. That's like kind of, you know, outside of the Cowboys, because back in the 80s and the 70s, the Cowboys were the Showtime team.
00:34:03
Speaker 2: Cowboys and the Steelers. You could not get away from either team.
00:34:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the
Cowboys had that flash. Steelers were like steel workers. They were like, they came home. The blue collar. Right, the blue collar. And the Cowboys were like the fancy, run fast, fly high, jet set, cocaine kind of thing. The Ric Flairs of the NFL. Yeah, 100%. That's exactly what they were, dude. Hollywood Anderson had it in his, like, Eiffel bottle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was it Drew Pearson as well in that group? I don't know.
00:34:35
Speaker 6: I don't want to throw it. But I know, what's his name, the receiver, got... Was it Irving?
00:34:40
Speaker 3: Michael Irving? Yeah, yeah, yeah. For that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hollywood Henderson was the one.
00:34:44
Speaker 6: And then North Dallas 40, this movie, I believe, was about the Cowboys.
00:34:48
Speaker 3: Was it really?
00:34:48
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:34:49
Speaker 3: And Nick Nolte, Mac, and Mac, um... Davis. Mac Davis. That was one of his only acting jobs. I mean, he was a singer, songwriter, musician.
00:34:59
Speaker 5: Right.
00:35:01
Speaker 3: God, man, those were the days. And that's when the Broncos came up with the... The Orange Crush, that was their defense back in the 70s. When the Steelers, when Staubach retired, I think that's when the Cowboys kind of started waning a little bit. And then the Broncos started coming up with Craig Morton and Orange Crush. The first Super Bowl I remember watching on.
00:35:21
Speaker 6: TV was the Broncos-Cowboys.
00:35:23
Speaker 8: Oh, really?
00:35:24
Speaker 3: Yeah. I watched all those Steelers games. Terry Bradshaw versus Roger Staubach. I mean, four years in a row, I think, is what I remember. Yeah, good times, man. NFL, had a good time watching the ballgame last night. Man, having football during the week is the best.
00:35:38
Speaker 6: I did not because it was, thanks to Dancing with the Stars, it was the first time that ESPN did not simulcast the Monday Night Football on ABC.
00:35:49
Speaker 4: Oh, no way.
00:35:50
Speaker 6: Oh, they did the final? It's been on both of them. I don't even know if it's a final. Just Dancing with the Stars was on.
00:35:55
Speaker 3: I know there was some drama there because apparently one of the fan favorites got voted off on Disney Night. And that made controversy today. I did not read the story because I'm straight.
00:36:08
Speaker 6: Well, if it's fan vote, how can you be a fan favorite if you get voted off?
00:36:13
Speaker 3: You don't have to be– I guess you can be a fan favorite and the judge is still not like you.
00:36:17
Speaker 2: Which is what happened with Guillermo, who is– Jimmy Kimmel's sidekick. He lasted a lot longer than people expected, but he was a fan favorite.
00:36:25
Speaker 3: And then on those shows, it's also, if you're one of those ones, it's like if you're William Hung or you're Susan Boyle, you stay on way longer because the drama of you is worth keeping you on, even though you probably should have never been on past episode one. They keep those people on. Well, Susan Boyle, no. She can sing, though. Yeah, she had the talent. Yeah, but there have been gimmicks up there that have stayed longer just because it's a gimmick.
00:36:47
Speaker 2: William Hung would be, yeah.
00:36:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
00:36:49
Speaker 3: All right, don't forget we have another keyword for you coming up in a second. We'll do what you do that's new on the other side of this break. You're listening to The Jim Colbert Show on Real Radio.
00:37:02
Speaker 1: You're listening to The Jim Colbert Show. Watch the chaos live at realradio.fm.
00:37:17
Speaker 3: Happy Election Day, Jim Colbert Show Crew.
00:37:21
Speaker 15: How are you doing?
00:37:21
Speaker 3: Doing good.
00:37:22
Speaker 14: I'm right now sitting in my car on my break.
00:37:26
Speaker 3: I'm so pissed off.
00:37:27
Speaker 17: I ordered some.
00:37:28
Speaker 18: Food and they gave me the wrong person's food, so I'm reordering it again.
00:37:32
Speaker 1: I'm that hungry. Y'all have a great day.
00:37:36
Speaker 5: Bye. Bye.
00:37:38
Speaker 3: Thanks for calling. Appreciate it.
00:37:39
Speaker 15: So, Jimmy, the best way to get Royal Caribbean to quit sending you stuff is to go on two really horrible cruises and tell them about it because they will then consider you a lost cause and never want to contact you again.
00:37:53
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:37:55
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:37:56
Speaker 3: Cruising sucks. It's for trash people.
00:37:58
Speaker 5: Sorry.
00:37:58
Speaker 11: No puns.
00:37:59
Speaker 5: Damn, son.
00:37:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, it came in hot on me there. Yeah. All right. I'd like to know what you do for vacation then, bud. I got to tell you, I have no problem with being called trash. That's perfectly fine.
00:38:09
Speaker 5: Why?
00:38:10
Speaker 3: I want to know what you do. That way I can kind of get an idea how you roll.
00:38:13
Speaker 6: If I'm trash, I want to know how you do it. I don't need to be called trash, but I enjoy a cruise. Yeah, I enjoy a cruise too.
00:38:18
Speaker 10: All right. 407-916-1041.
00:38:19
Speaker 5: Text us.

00:38:36
Speaker 6: And, John, there might be in the minority because cruising has just... Exploded in popularity over the last ten years.
00:38:43
Speaker 3: Still doesn't mean it's not trashy. All right.
00:38:45
Speaker 2: That depends on the show.
00:38:47
Speaker 1: It does.
00:38:47
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back. I'm Jim. There's Deb.
00:38:49
Speaker 8: Hello.
00:38:50
Speaker 3: Jack is here as well. Let's do What You Do That's New.
00:38:57
Speaker 12: What you do that's new.
00:38:59
Speaker 3: What you do that's new.
00:39:01
Speaker 15: Hey!
00:39:01
Speaker 3: If you only knew something new to do.
00:39:03
Speaker 2: We're relying on you.
Tell us something new brought to you by Clauser.
00:39:07
Speaker 3: That's right, Clausman Law, K-L-A-U-S-M-A-N-Law.com. Office is right there in Winter Park, 407-917-1718. Car crash called Clausman. And, of course, we'll talk to Glenn on Thursday for Covert Court. Until then, we'll do What You Do That's New every single Tuesday since the show began. One member of the show will choose something for the others to watch, read, or listen to. We will do that, reconvene on that following Tuesday, discuss it, and then move on. on to the next person. This has allowed us to create one of the greatest lists ever I don't even know what. But if you go to every year, if you go to the archives at JimCorporateLive.com from 2018 until 2026, you can actually see every single choice that's been made every Tuesday on this show. And you will get everything from anime. to skateboarding videos, to music videos, to rap albums. It's all in there.
00:39:56
Speaker 2: It's a great peek into who the four of us are.
00:39:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would agree with that 100%. So this weekend is Ross, and this is a window into who he is. Uh, I don't even know how to, okay.
00:40:11
Speaker 2: So it's, it's called, is this the best Pokemon binder ever?
00:40:16
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:40:16
Speaker 2: A six minute video on YouTube, Jimmy go.
00:40:19
Speaker 3: So he's in a, he's at a con, uh, this, uh, kid and, uh, the father.
00:40:24
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:40:25
Speaker 3: This kid and her father are at this, uh, con thing. And she walks up to this guy who's obviously a Pokemon card dealer and hands him this binder. And I guess just basically asked, you know, what do you think of this binder? And this guy who is a Pokemon pro starts going through the binder and loses his mind at how rare and select some of these cards are.
00:40:50
Speaker 5: Yes.
00:40:50
Speaker 6: So, and I reached out to Ross to see if he could join us on this, but he was dealing, you know, with some home improvement issues right now because... I thought this would be best for him to really explain his take on it to sell it to us because after I watch it, I'm like, okay, this will be interesting to talk about for.
00:41:07
Speaker 3: About 90 seconds. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:41:10
Speaker 6: Yeah, but so content providers are people who watch videos of Pokemon card dealers looking through cards. And that's what it was. Now, the binder itself was impressive. But you feel good for the kid who's got this amazing investment, I would say, right?
00:41:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely. In cards. I don't know if they would ever want to sell it.
00:41:33
Speaker 6: But you could tell that this young girl, this is her.
00:41:38
Speaker 2: That's her jam.
00:41:39
Speaker 3: That's her jam. This is her hobby.
00:41:41
Speaker 6: This is her focus each and every day. And it's an impressive collection. judging by the reaction of the professional who's looking at it.
00:41:50
Speaker 3: Oh, it is beyond impressive.
00:41:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, because he said on a scale of 1 to 10... It's a 15. It's a 15 that he would give her binder. And I remember when Ross had assigned this, he had said that it was kind of poignant or, you know, heartfelt. And I have to believe that that's because of the way that the Pokemon card vendor interacted with this young girl and her binder. There was no... false platitudes. I mean, he was really, truly impressed with the cards that she'd put together, but I swear it was like being on another planet because they're going over the cards and I'm like, wow.
00:42:25
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:42:25
Speaker 6: Yeah, because it's like, the cards had zero value to me, right?
00:42:29
Speaker 3: I had no understanding.
00:42:30
Speaker 6: Oh, that's a gold star, this and that. I'm like, I, you know, couldn't tell that, you know, my Pikachu from my Pokemon, right? But the, they're in the same world, right?
00:42:39
Speaker 2: I think so. Is that right?
00:42:40
Speaker 3: I don't even know.
00:42:40
Speaker 8: Who knows?
00:42:41
Speaker 3: But, I mean, who knows, dude? Who knows? Do any of them play second base for the Reds?
00:42:48
Speaker 5: No.
00:42:48
Speaker 3: Then I don't know.
00:42:49
Speaker 6: But for what it meant to that young girl who's– this has been kind of the biggest– what we assume is a daily life mission for her to accumulate this and something that she put so much love into that she's most likely not going to sell it. That reaction she gets from the dealer is the payoff, is the highlight for her.
00:43:15
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:43:16
Speaker 6: Is that special moment and to have it in a, you know, their YouTube video where, you know, she can watch it and share it with other people. makes her special, you know, in that moment, you know, that she can feel.
00:43:29
Speaker 3: Really great about.
00:43:30
Speaker 2: She had a little bit of a crowd that actually had gathered around that were really impressed with her binder. There were a couple of guys that were snooping around. I was like, quick, get those cards.
00:43:37
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was thinking the same thing.
00:43:39
Speaker 6: It's like, you know, there's a security when you're talking about thousands of dollars of value in cards and you're just walking around holding a notebook.
00:43:47
Speaker 3: I think it's way more than that. I mean, she had a Charizard card. Um, and then had a bunch of other stuff. I mean, I'm sure that means something.
00:43:53
Speaker 7: Yeah.
00:43:53
Speaker 10: Yeah.
00:43:54
Speaker 3: That's like, she had one of the most expensive cards in there. I mean, this guy was losing his mind. Matter of fact, he asked her, he goes, what's your favorite page? And she said, uh, she said page five. Well, when he opens up the binder, he goes, he looks at page one and he's flabbergasted. Like he's, he's gobsmacked.
00:44:09
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:44:09
Speaker 3: He doesn't even know what to say. He's blown away at page one. And he looks at her and he goes, well,
this is page one. Yeah. And your page five is your favorite page. I can't wait to get to that page. And every page he flipped, he was just, I mean, it would be like, honestly, the only thing you can really liken it to if you're not into that scene. Um, is if you are watching a guy who owns a trading card company and somebody walks up, a kid walks up and with his grandfather's collection and opens up page one and it's, you know, Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, you know, it's all the greats, Jack, you know, uh it's every that's what it would be like if that's the only thing you can liken it to is a professional card collector going through like an old baseball card collection and have.
00:44:53
Speaker 6: Hall of fame players and their rookie cards every single page is a hall of famer and it's the rookie card and it's a it's a graded nine or better yeah texter says isn't it wild to think that a piece of unsigned cardboard cardboard Can be worth that amount of money.
00:45:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. And the cards are kind of cool looking. They're really ornate, but I have no idea about it. They're speaking a completely different language. It doesn't mean you can't appreciate what's happening, though. Yeah.
00:45:21
Speaker 2: It was funny that I was wondering. So I kept waiting, right? Because you could tell by his vernacular that he got really excited, but he was still sticking with the, oh, my gosh. And I was like, oh, we're going to get an OS or an oh crap in here at some point. And then he went from oh gosh to oh my God, right? Then he said God. And then about the fourth and fifth page was when he finally said, holy crap. I was like, I knew it.
00:45:44
Speaker 3: And then he started calling people over that were in his booth and telling them to look at it because he was so freaked out about all of that collection in one binder.
00:45:52
Speaker 2: And for such a young person to have all of those super duper cards.
00:45:56
Speaker 3: That thing will be sold by the time she's 19. I don't know, though.
00:45:59
Speaker 2: It's funny because watching that one guy, that one guy that before he handed it back to her, he had zipped the binder. And that one guy in the baseball cap kind of was like, all right, well, he zipped it up and he's handing it back to her. So I'm just going to keep walking because I was paying attention.
00:46:13
Speaker 3: I'm like, bucko. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that was her dad. No, it wasn't.
00:46:17
Speaker 2: No, it was another guy who was standing around looking at her collection.
00:46:20
Speaker 5: A lurker.
00:46:20
Speaker 2: A lurker. And then when the guy zipped up the binder and handed it back to her, That's when he was like, all right, well, I'm just going to take off.
00:46:27
Speaker 6: There was a takeaway, and I'm not even sure why you do this. Maybe you guys know because it comes with so many things we order. He pointed out, oh, he's like, you have silica gel in– like packets of silica gel in your binder.
00:46:42
Speaker 3: He goes, fantastic move. That's a great move.
00:46:45
Speaker 6: And I'm thinking about the– baseball cards i've been holding on to 40 years i got i got no silica gel in there yeah the moisture or whatever so is that what it is you should absorb moisture.
00:46:54
Speaker 2: Yeah and protect the quality of the paper.
00:46:56
Speaker 3: Yeah and it's amazing what is a 10 or not a 10 this guy pulls one of those cards out this is another thing he pulls a card out and he's looking at it and he goes uh and it looks i mean when you when they bring the camera up you know all i know about it is this you know the lines are supposed to be balanced in other words the same amount of room on the right and left same amount of room on the top and the bottom and You know, the colors are clear. There's no scratches or anything like that. But this guy goes, he goes, but this corner is a little, there's something a little wrong with it. And he looked at the corner and I was like, the corner looks absolutely perfect. Like it just came from the factory. He goes, but you can see that little bit of white there, a little bit of white. Now that'll cost you that. That'll take it from a 10 to a nine, which takes it from 10 grand to like six grand.
00:47:36
Speaker 5: Yep.
00:47:37
Speaker 3: Yep. And you know how much they have to pay to get those things graded? Do you know anything about that world?
00:47:41
Speaker 5: No.
00:47:42
Speaker 3: So, you know, we talk about the travel ball thing being a bit of a scam. I've heard conversations about how scammy that whole grading thing is because you're sending off a car to get it graded. It costs you like $ 400 or $ 500 to get it graded so that you can ask the big money for it. But without the grading, you can't get the big money.
00:48:02
Speaker 2: But that's my fear because you send it off, you're not standing there, and you don't know if they're grading it. In the hopes that you'll just let it go and then its real grade will come out and that person will make the money that you were supposed to make.
00:48:16
Speaker 3: Well, that sounds sketchy. That would happen in that kind of business?
00:48:19
Speaker 2: Same reason why I haven't sent China or Rare books off. I'd rather have the appraisal done right there in front of me. 100%.
00:48:27
Speaker 6: Hard to find those people sometimes, though. Just waiting for the Antiques Roadshow to show up.
00:48:31
Speaker 2: I love that show.
00:48:32
Speaker 3: I almost went that last time when they came here a few years back. I had some stuff that I found out was worth nothing. Remember the one drawing I thought that could have been from Picasso?
00:48:42
Speaker 2: Oh, that's right, yeah.
00:48:43
Speaker 3: I was in my grandfather's stuff for a while. It turned out to be not a Picasso because I'm here. But it's kind of interesting. Not much of that stuff is ever really worth anything. You have to have– I mean, it really is a one-in-a-million scenario.
00:49:00
Speaker 2: And that includes books.
00:49:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I found one good rare book in my entire life, and I sold it immediately to a dealer in New York and made good money on it. But they're very hard to find.
00:49:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are.
00:49:09
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
00:49:10
Speaker 3: I saw a guy buy a book at an estate sale the other day, and it had three or four Confederate $ 2 bills stuffed in.
00:49:14
Speaker 1: The– Nice.
00:49:15
Speaker 3: It was an old Bible, actually.
00:49:17
Speaker 8: Wow.
00:49:17
Speaker 3: It had Confederate $ 2 bills stuffed in the pages of the Bible. That's why when you are an estate seller, they tell you– They shake the books. When you go to estate sales, specifically estate sales, or actually garage sales, because estate sales are kind of gone through. The professionals kind of know what to look for, but garage sales, man, the most slept-on thing in garage sales is paper treasures. His books, first edition books that people just don't know they have. Their grandfather gave it to them. It's a book to them. They don't care. It's a first edition Alice in Wonderland or a first edition any of the Disney books. It could be worth thousands of dollars.
00:49:52
Speaker 2: One of the Pokemon cards that she bought, she bought at a yard sale.
00:49:56
Speaker 3: Oh, did she really?
00:49:57
Speaker 2: It was one of the Korean cards where apparently the person didn't realize what they had.
00:50:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. That happens all the time. That's why garage sales are way better than estate sales. We kind of stopped going to estate sales because of that. Because you just kind of know. And the thing is, even with garage sales, when you find something good, if it's too good, I've actually told people, look, don't sell this for that. This thing's worth way more than that. Take this back there and put like 70 bucks on it or something. You're selling this for way less than it's worth. But that's like one time only. All right, Jack, what do the listeners have for us? Kevin has submitted a video. It's on YouTube.
00:50:29
Speaker 6: It's eight minutes, 29 seconds long from the History Guy channel. And the topic is the submarine that sank a train, the USS Barb.
00:50:41
Speaker 3: Okay, there you go. The USS Barb, as in Barbara, short for Barbara? Absolutely. All right, very good.
00:50:45
Speaker 6: Yeah, I believe we watched a video from this guy before, the History Guy channel.
00:50:50
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:50:50
Speaker 6: But it's just under nine minutes, and it's now up on JimColbertLive.com.
00:50:56
Speaker 3: Very nice. All right, let's take a little break. Back in a sec with more of the Jim Colbert Show. Stay put. Proudly sponsored since day one by Glenn Klausman.
00:51:11
Speaker 12: KlausmanLaw.com.
00:51:13
Speaker 11: Bye.
00:51:15
Speaker 18: And on the video about the girl with the Pokemon binder.
00:51:19
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:51:19
Speaker 18: The video was actually missing some context. The girl had been diagnosed with different types of cancers and had survived. And she was actually declared legally blind. So the binder had a little bit more meaning. There's a little bit more to that video if you look for it.
00:51:38
Speaker 3: Oh, check it out. Thanks, man. Appreciate that.
00:51:40
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:51:40
Speaker 3: Did not know that.
00:51:41
Speaker 6: I think the fault really falls on Ross Padgett for not pointing that out.
00:51:45
Speaker 3: Couldn't agree more, Jack.
00:51:45
Speaker 2: That's why he said it was poignant.
00:51:46
Speaker 3: Couldn't agree more. I'll talk to him tomorrow about it.
00:51:48
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:51:48
Speaker 3: Or being here to kind of say it. Whatever, dude. Cash is your 4 o'clock keyword. C-A-S-H. Go to realradio.fm and send that away for your chance at a thousand bucks. I'm Jim. There's Deb. Hello. Jack is here as well.
00:51:59
Speaker 11: Yo!
00:52:00
Speaker 3: So much to talk about today, really. I mean, I know it's election day, but there's so much to talk about. we're just, we're doing something good.
00:52:06
Speaker 6: Just got a text about election day. A listener said, just voted in Volusia an hour. Wait, that's so cool. But, uh, they had their headphones in. So they were just listening to us while in line, which is probably what they'd be doing at home anyway.
00:52:19
Speaker 3: And so thanks for a great show.
00:52:21
Speaker 5: Yeah. Thanks.
00:52:21
Speaker 3: Appreciate that very much.
00:52:22
Speaker 2: Thank you for voting.
00:52:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, man. It's, uh, people get out there and voting and even in the rain and the, in the flood waters, they're going to waiting in to vote. I mean, Float to vote. Super important for sure. That's the other edge of early voting. You can say that's nice weather. Yeah, yeah, you're right. You don't chance it. I'm doing that next year, by the way. I'm going to early vote next year. I'm not going to wait until the day of. I say I want that experience, but there was no experience. I walked into a room with six people and voted and left. Because I've done it all three ways there.
00:52:50
Speaker 6: And at first I did the mail ballot because I wanted to make sure I had a sample ballot. Like I wanted the mail ballot cause I wanted it in my hands. I wanted to be able to kind of research everything, but they've gotten better about sending out sample ballots.
00:53:05
Speaker 8: Yes.
00:53:05
Speaker 6: Um, but that's the one that felt anticlimactic to me when you send it back.
00:53:10
Speaker 3: Then it was just like, I guess I voted. Yeah.
00:53:14
Speaker 6: Early voting still has that same feel because you're going to the precinct, you're dealing with the precinct workers, you're getting the sticker. All of that is that it's just a different location. So I, I don't miss out by early voting. I still have that same feel of going on election day.
00:53:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like feeding it in the machine and
saying complete. You have voted. It's all done. I don't know what happened once I mailed it in.
00:53:36
Speaker 2: That's my problem with mail-in voting.
00:53:38
Speaker 3: I get to watch it get registered and watch it count. He looks at me and goes, you have voted. I said, thank you, good man. I'm on my way out of here then.
00:53:44
Speaker 6: Now, you can, for people who do ballot in, you can go to your county. Just to make sure we got it in there. Yeah, they check, they'll search your ballot, and they'll let you know it was received or not. Yeah, but I got Phil telling me it's fine. I want to volunteer one year. I keep thinking about it each year to volunteer on election day.
00:54:00
Speaker 3: You should. To be a poll worker.
00:54:01
Speaker 17: Why not?
00:54:02
Speaker 3: It's a 12-hour shift. Yeah, yeah. Got to take off to work 12 hours.
00:54:05
Speaker 5: So, and?
00:54:06
Speaker 3: You have days? My God, you've been here 50,000 years. Take a day off and go do something. Who cares? My God.
00:54:11
Speaker 2: How long have you guys been married?
00:54:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, 100 billion years. Go do it. Who cares? Take off and go do something. I'm serious. Take off and go do it. Go hand out stickers. I don't mind. I'll do it. So I'm doing something tomorrow night. It's the first of the season for me. I'm doing it. And we also made a decision this morning as a family. When I say a family, it's my wife and I. Made a decision. And when you say your wife and I, you mean your wife? Yeah, you know, my wife pitched it and we talked about this about a month and a half ago and I kind of poo pooed it because I was like, well, how are we going to do all that? You know, we didn't really have the room or anything like that, but we were going to do something. But the first thing is, is tomorrow night I'm making my first fall dish.
00:54:51
Speaker 2: Okay.
00:54:52
Speaker 3: Okay. In my world, that's a big deal.
00:54:54
Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
00:54:55
Speaker 3: All right. I'm talking to new non-cooks. The reason I bring this up is this. What is your favorite fall comfort food? Because I'm making a pie. I'm starting. Pizza. Pizza for you. Chili for you. Chili used to be mine. It's not mine anymore. Or stew.
00:55:11
Speaker 2: Or soup.
00:55:12
Speaker 3: We make it two or three times a year, so it's not the one that kicks it off. This one I'm making tomorrow night kicks it off. Pizza would have been my answer for any season.
00:55:19
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:55:20
Speaker 2: Okay, so, okay, is this something we can guess at?
00:55:23
Speaker 3: Well, you could probably guess it, but the reason I'm bringing this up is I kind of want to know, via texting service, 77031, what people's, like, comfort fall, like, when you think of fall when it starts cooling down a little bit. Meatloaf. Chili is one for sure. Meatloaf is another. But chili is, like, off the– chili and beef stew are, like, kind of off the table. Everybody understands. Yeah, but anything else– I mean, meatloaf.
00:55:44
Speaker 12: No, no, no.
00:55:45
Speaker 3: Any time of the year, meatloaf.
00:55:46
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:55:46
Speaker 3: I think so, too. This one definitely is fall, though.
00:55:48
Speaker 2: Chicken tikka masala.
00:55:50
Speaker 3: No, no. I just made that the other night. Oh, you bastard. So good, too.
00:55:53
Speaker 2: You didn't bring any in.
00:55:54
Speaker 3: So good. It didn't last. It was gone. Grilled chorizo. No, stop.
00:55:59
Speaker 2: Chorizo.
00:56:00
Speaker 5: Chorizo.
00:56:00
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
00:56:00
Speaker 3: Come on, Jack. Don't be a douche. I'm making 15 bean soup with smoked ham hocks.
00:56:08
Speaker 8: Yay.
00:56:08
Speaker 5: Yay.
00:56:08
Speaker 2: That's right up there with the Pokemon video for us. Do you count the beans?
00:56:17
Speaker 3: This was actually a conversation in your house. Did you just ask me if I count the beans? 15 beans is 15 different.
00:56:23
Speaker 16: Kind of beans.
00:56:25
Speaker 2: Oh, you're going to be a joy to sleep next to.
00:56:27
Speaker 3: You put it in the pot. You put it in the crock pot. You cover it up with chicken stock and you throw your smoked ham hocks in there. By the way, that you can buy at the grocery store. Free smoked. 12 bucks. Cheapest thing in the world. And this is fall to me, dude. Dipping a big old bowl of bean soup. With a smoked ham hock, that is the joint.
00:56:43
Speaker 6: Ola Beans is why he needed Tori's permission if he could make it.
00:56:46
Speaker 3: I don't know. And here's the other thing, too, right? You ready? That was really the family decision? That is a family decision.
00:56:52
Speaker 13: That is.
00:56:54
Speaker 3: This is the family decision. That was my decision. The 15-bean soup with the ham hocks. I brought it home the other day, and I threw it on the counter. My entire family lost their mind. Because they know how good it is. And by the way, you guys get none. So all the asses you can kiss. You're not getting one bite.
00:57:08
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to take this last.
00:57:10
Speaker 3: Chocolate chip cookie. You leave it right there. Jack, would you like this last? I would love it. Thank you.
00:57:15
Speaker 8: Awesome.
00:57:16
Speaker 3: It's so delicious that you get none. And I'm eating cornbread with it.
00:57:20
Speaker 5: That's it.
00:57:20
Speaker 2: Throw up those three cookies my mom baked for you.
00:57:22
Speaker 3: Double no cornbread for you people.
00:57:24
Speaker 2: Oh, you make homemade cornbread?
00:57:26
Speaker 19: Yeah, dude.
00:57:26
Speaker 3: Homemade cornbread from scratch.
00:57:27
Speaker 2: Double no cornbread.
00:57:29
Speaker 3: With a 15 bean soup with that beautiful, like, smoky, hammy, salty kind of broth. Are you kidding, dude? I'm sure it's probably okay. It's incredible. Anyway, we're doing this too.
00:57:40
Speaker 6: So what's the big decision that your family made? We're buying a quarter of a cow.
00:57:45
Speaker 12: Nice.
00:57:46
Speaker 2: We had talked about that.
00:57:48
Speaker 3: My wife found a little freezer because my house freezer couldn't even handle a tenth of it. So we kind of came to the conclusion that how we like to cook and how we like to prep and stuff. It doesn't make any sense to keep going to the grocery store and spending probably about 40% more than what you can get from a farm. And there are so many great farms around here to shop from. She found one out where we are. I can't remember what the name of it is. And I think we're going to wind up buying a quarter beef one. And we're getting a freezer to put it in there. Because freezers are cheap.
00:58:19
Speaker 11: Are they?
00:58:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're so cheap. They really are. Like, we're getting a seven-cubic-foot freezer for, like, under $ 300. Oh, wow. And you can get them on Facebook Marketplace for cheaper than that. Yeah. But we're doing that, and we're buying a quarter cow.
00:58:32
Speaker 2: I was telling Jimmy that one of the weird reels I'm seeing on Instagram now is people deciding whether they should decorate for Christmas or prep for World War III.
00:58:40
Speaker 3: We're doing a little of both. There you go. And I think one of the reasons is because we find, like, as we start adding up our money when we go to the grocery store, we find that, you know, we're actually really good at shopping. But proteins are so expensive now. And we love eating beef. So we're going to do that. We're going to go in. We're going to buy a quarter beef. And I don't know how much comes with that. I know it's a lot. So is it in pieces? Do you have to cut it up? How does it come? Exactly.
00:59:10
Speaker 4: Beef and.
00:59:15
Speaker 3: And it's ground, though.
00:59:16
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
00:59:16
Speaker 3: It's all packaged up. Everything's packaged. All your steaks are packaged together. All your ground beef, your ribs, your round roast, all of it's packaged up. So you know how to cook all those different things. Oh, yeah.
00:59:28
Speaker 5: 100%.
00:59:28
Speaker 6: It's not going to waste. No, nothing's going to waste. We have cooking techniques for all of it. You say that until the power goes out.
00:59:34
Speaker 3: And you lose it all. Yeah. Let me see what a quarter beef cost here. That's me, Mr.
00:59:40
Speaker 8: Sunshine.
00:59:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, $ 800 to $ 1, 800. What do you get with it? Oh, people saying like a fall meal pot roast. I can see that. Yeah, that's I mean, that's exactly what we're talking about.
00:59:55
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:59:56
Speaker 2: The other issue, too, because we've had, you know, so many protein recalls this year. If you remember, there was all that ground beef that China wouldn't even buy, and the FDA was like, do not eat this. So it's a great alternative when it comes to food safety.
01:00:14
Speaker 3: It says with a quarter beef, you're feeding three to four-plus people regularly. You cook with beef two to four times a week. You have a four-plus cubic foot freezer space, and you're planning meals a few weeks or months in advance. Now, we don't do it months in advance, but we do do it a week in advance. And what you get here from a quarter beef is this, 36 ground beef bricks. They're a pound each. So 36 pounds of ground beef, six filet mignons, four New York strips, four ribeyes, six top sirloins, two chuck roasts, one flat iron, one flank, one skirt, one tri-tip, two fajita, two times fajita slices, which is two pounds of fajita, and then two New York strip slices. 65 pounds of American Wagyu beef.
01:00:58
Speaker 2: And a partridge in a pear tree.
01:01:01
Speaker 3: And I am super happy. Can't wait to get that. I wonder how many other people do that. You can buy pork in the same way, by the way. Really?
01:01:08
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
01:01:08
Speaker 3: You can buy like half a pig, get ribs and all of them, you know, tenderloins, all kinds of stuff.
01:01:14
Speaker 2: Oh, somebody just texted us. What were you going to, you go.
01:01:17
Speaker 3: First, Jack.
01:01:18
Speaker 6: All I did was breathe.
01:01:21
Speaker 2: Text us at 77031. She stopped the.
01:01:23
Speaker 3: Train because I breathe. Usually that leads to a five-minute conversation with you.
01:01:27
Speaker 6: I was just going to say, I think I'd go vegetarian before I went through this process.
01:01:31
Speaker 3: Why would you do that? It seems like work. Oh, God, Jack.
01:01:34
Speaker 2: My employer went and bought half a cow, and he wasn't very impressed with it. No way, really? That's what one person said.
01:01:41
Speaker 3: I don't know, dude. 36 pounds of ground beef and a bunch of steaks and stuff. I mean, you got to remember.
01:01:45
Speaker 2: I buy half a cow every year. A quarter is 90 pounds. I mean, you got a lot of family to feed. I was just looking at the prices. By the way, coming down a little bit. Which is good. I noticed that last night. But I think filet is still like 30 bucks a pound, $ 27 a pound or something like that.
01:02:03
Speaker 6: This doesn't work for us because, A, I'm not the cook. My wife handles all that. And you talk about planning a day, a week, a month in advance. She kind of like keeps it on the fly. She's like working on hours. I think like she'll start six hours out, start thinking about dinner. And that's when she starts. You know what will happen? You know, the reason why is because you don't have your proteins like this. Like if your proteins were frozen and you knew what was in your freezer because you bought it and account, you knew it, you knew exactly what to fall out. And we got into that. We got into that realm. Our lives are busy now. So sometimes we have to, like, we'll skip. Like, I'll thaw out chicken. I'm like, well, I'm making this tonight. And then we wind up doing something else. And so that chicken's been out a night. And we have to kind of fast forward that. And whatever meal we had planned for that next day now gets put on hold.
01:02:49
Speaker 8: Yeah.
01:02:49
Speaker 3: So that's kind of weird. But what we want to do is start prepping more. And we want to start kind of cooking on the weekends and prepping so that we don't have to come home and cook. That's the bad thing. Like, you get home at 730. By the time I cook and clean my kitchen, it's a quarter till 930. Like, I got no time to hang out with the fam, you know? Everybody leaves in the morning, so I'm just there by myself all day. Is that something they want?
01:03:09
Speaker 8: Yeah.
01:03:09
Speaker 3: You hanging out with them? Yeah, yeah. They want a lot. It's amazing that it's true.
01:03:15
Speaker 6: If you can yourself, how long is that good for?
01:03:19
Speaker 3: I want to know. I'm thinking about, you know.
01:03:20
Speaker 2: About six months. Six months to a year.
01:03:23
Speaker 3: You should do it. I'm serious. Six months to a year? Yeah. What are you going to do first? I just want to prepare.
01:03:28
Speaker 2: Well, you got to be careful because you can't can dairy. And canning has changed so much from back in the day when our moms did it. You remember the wax seal?
01:03:37
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
01:03:38
Speaker 2: I mean, I remember the hot water canning, but now there's the pressure canning. You have to be careful, like, what tomatoes, because the big beefsteak tomatoes, those are not good for canning. Those are not good for making sauce.
01:03:49
Speaker 3: You have to know all that stuff.
01:03:50
Speaker 2: You've got to make sure your jars seal, because botulism is a real concern.
01:03:54
Speaker 3: And you know why canning was? Because you could get stuff out of season, Jack, right? So if you cook seasonal vegetables all the time, if you know what you're doing, And, you know, well, it's tomato season. We're going to cook a bunch of stuff with tomatoes or it's strawberry season. And you can notice that in Florida restaurants, for sure, around Orlando now.
01:04:08
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:04:08
Speaker 3: Like when strawberry season hits, everybody in Orlando has a really special strawberry dessert of some sort. They'll use it. And it's the same thing that happens with every vegetable, whether it be asparagus, onions, beets, whatever the case may be, cabbage. Once that stuff comes in the season, a lot of the restaurants will try to use that. And that's what you do from canning. What we used to do is we canned peas and stuff like that, summer stuff that we could have in the winter when it wasn't available or it was really expensive in the stores. Like when you buy corn out of season, have you seen how much it is?
01:04:37
Speaker 5: Nope.
01:04:38
Speaker 3: Four ears of corn at Publix is $ 6. 00. And that's usually like a couple bucks, right?
01:04:45
Speaker 19: Oh.
01:04:45
Speaker 3: In season? Usually when it's in season. It's like a dollar. Ten ears like for four bucks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so that's one of the big things is like you want to can stuff in season so that when you get into the
winter, when it's not fresh, you still have it. You're not canning it just to can it because it's fun to can. There's got to be a purpose. Typing, that's the purpose. Let's see what happens. Let's see how the election results go. Exactly. Let's see how things are Friday.
01:05:11
Speaker 8: Yeah.
01:05:13
Speaker 2: Hell, let's just see how they are Wednesday.
01:05:15
Speaker 3: All right. By the way, we're supposed to start getting some exit poll stuff around 5 o'clock, but I doubt we'll see anything of value.
01:05:23
Speaker 2: At least maybe elsewhere in the country, but here we have to wait until at least 8 o'clock. By the way, Brevard County schools are going to be closed again tomorrow.
01:05:31
Speaker 8: Wow.
01:05:31
Speaker 2: They were hoping to reopen, but the flooding is just such that they can't get buses on the road. They don't want kids standing at bus stops.
01:05:38
Speaker 3: I just saw a video of a kid. I guess one of the big national talkers was that they were making kids go to school in this weather. And I said, well, I remember them knocking school out that it wasn't like that. And then there's a video online today of a kid getting off a school bus and he steps off the school bus into a foot and a half of water. And as he's walking across the road that is also a foot and a half water deep, the water's up to the bottom of the bus. And they just opened this bus up and let this kid off at the bus stop as if it was bone dry. As he's walking across the road, he doesn't know where the ditch is and steps in the ditch, and it goes from his knees to his waist, like a chest high like that. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, they let him off the bus in that stuff. They threw him out into a storm and a flood.
01:06:21
Speaker 6: The Four Corners area in the southwest, they're having flooding right now as well.
01:06:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Seminole County. I mean, and you have, you've got Highlands County, Indian River, DeSoto. I mean, seven counties are under a state of emergency because of all this flooding. I don't know what the other counties are doing, but I know Brevard just announced within the last hour that schools are going to be closed again tomorrow.
01:06:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, Malabar and Palm Bay are the ones I see. The worst videos are from that area. Palm Bay got it really, really bad.
01:06:49
Speaker 2: I mean, Malabar got over 22 inches of rain.
01:06:52
Speaker 3: It was unbelievable. That's exactly what happened to us out there, like that kind of atmospheric thing. Speaking of weather, I mean, if we're going to be on this for a second, did you guys see the report today about what California could be expecting this winter? Remember the atmospheric river thing that hit on the West Coast and washed everything out on the West Coast? They're expecting one of those that could last for weeks. Didn't they call it like the Pineapple Express or something like that? It's an atmospheric river, and they can see how the moisture tunnels into a certain area, and it's just a deluge for days. It never stops raining. And they're thinking because of the Super El Nino, California is almost certain to get one of those again this year.
01:07:32
Speaker 2: Which, again, they're still recovering from the Palisades fire last winter. So you have all that ground that's not being held together with vegetation. We could be talking about mudslides and all other kinds of catastrophes.
01:07:44
Speaker 3: The other interesting thing about the weather anomalies is this. We've talked about the Lake Powell levels for a while. For people who don't know, Lake Powell is the big lake out there that is behind the Hoover Dam, right?
01:07:54
Speaker 9: Yeah.
01:07:55
Speaker 3: Um, and I believe that's the one, right? Yeah. The one behind the Hoover dam. And its water levels is really important for the West Coast, right? Because it's a lot of the irrigation.
01:08:02
Speaker 2: Is it Lake Powell or Lake Mead?
01:08:03
Speaker 3: Is it Lake Mead? That's right, Lake Mead.
01:08:05
Speaker 2: I think it's Lake Mead.
01:08:05
Speaker 3: But Lake Powell is also part of that as well, I guess, because they always talk about the water levels in Lake Powell. But they're up 14 feet. So after all this drought for all this time, this weather anomaly is going to wind up fizzing. Have you seen what's happening in Arizona right now?
01:08:19
Speaker 2: Not in Arizona, but Colorado.
01:08:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, Colorado as well.
01:08:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, Colorado is really dealing with it. And we were talking before the show, what's interesting is, You know, South Brevard County was dealing with, in some cases, at best a moderate, at worst extreme drought levels, right? So they've been needing rain for a while, but they're like, Not this amount.
01:08:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sedona is like underwater. It's called Tempe Terrace or something like that near Tempe, Arizona. It's like underwater. It's unbelievable. And then Colorado was washing houses down the river. Houses away, yeah. Insane, man.
01:08:50
Speaker 2: Knocking into bridges.
01:08:51
Speaker 3: It's going to be a really interesting winter ride this year for sure.
01:08:54
Speaker 5: All right, 407-916-1041.

01:09:14
Speaker 3: We have cast our vote. Yay, we heard it!
01:09:16
Speaker 10: Yay!
01:09:16
Speaker 12: Anyway, and you know.
01:09:19
Speaker 3: Man, that can develop a lot of trail dust.
01:09:22
Speaker 16: I'm parched.
01:09:23
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, I'm ready for a cocktail as well. Oh, yeah. Bring me one.
01:09:26
Speaker 1: But, yes, the atmospheric river called the Pineapple Express generates in Hawaii and goes to the west coast of the United States.
01:09:35
Speaker 8: That's what we got.
01:09:36
Speaker 2: Go vote, people.

01:09:41
Speaker 3: I know you're a good cook. I'll tell you what.
01:09:43
Speaker 11: I would love to try a sample of that 15... being a ham walk soup.
01:09:49
Speaker 3: So good, buddy. I bet it's delicious.
01:09:51
Speaker 7: It is.
01:09:51
Speaker 3: I really bet it is. It is, buddy.
01:09:54
Speaker 11: So, you know, you can freeze some and send it my way. And I will enjoy the out of it.
01:10:02
Speaker 3: That's the cool thing about it. It is very freezable. And I will bring you guys a sample so you can try it a little bit.
01:10:06
Speaker 5: Thank you.
01:10:06
Speaker 3: One spoonful each. It'll be nice.

01:10:17
Speaker 2: Freshie.
01:10:18
Speaker 3: By the way, I brought that story up about California's, what, you know, what Bruno Matt was just talking about. And there's a name for it. And I'm about to drop a weather term on you. No question you've never heard of it because I've never heard of it. And we talk about this all the time, you and I, right? So it is an atmospheric river, and you're right. He did call it the Pineapple Express because it started, I guess, in Hawaii and moved towards California.
01:10:44
Speaker 2: Right, and then moved south to the west, yeah.
01:10:45
Speaker 3: This one is. The Super El Nino is starting there, and, of course, it's moving across the entire nation. But it is a storm. I've never heard of it. But the minute you hear about it, it is– think of an event that would be one of the most extreme weather events in human history that we know of. And the vehicle that was used to maneuver through that. United States will be deciding factor in how much rain and snow falls in California this year. And weather a disastrous quote unquote art storm.
01:11:21
Speaker 2: Oh.
01:11:22
Speaker 5: Wow.
01:11:24
Speaker 3: Great. An arc storm flood conceivably could occur in California. Dude, I got to tell you, that's bad, right? I mean, like, that's a biblical storm. Well, yeah, I mean, when they're using biblical terms. The arc storm, I've never heard that term in my life. That is a bad sign.
01:11:42
Speaker 2: Not good.
01:11:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. What could cause an art storm scenario? It's basically exactly what we've been talking about. It goes, the art storm is basically your Pineapple Express, your atmospheric river on 30. Times 10. Right, yeah. Cracked out. How great. Straight cracked out.
01:11:59
Speaker 2: When you hear Jim Cantore say, this storm is cracked out. Yeah, exactly.
01:12:05
Speaker 3: It says, atmospheric rivers are at the center of the so-called, quote, art storm scenario, a theoretical weather setup that that would, quote, result in a widespread catastrophic flooding throughout California, likely causing much greater damage, disruption, and economic loss than the large-magnitude earthquake near one of California's most major urban areas. So they're saying this. They're saying that this arc storm thing could be more destructive than a massive earthquake in one of the big cities.
01:12:33
Speaker 8: Wow.
01:12:35
Speaker 2: Oh.
01:12:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:12:38
Speaker 2: That's what they're saying. And that's this winter.
01:12:40
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:12:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. I understand. That is lining up right now with the Super El Nino and the heat in the Pacific. And what's our winter supposed to be like? Because it's supposed to be … Warm and rainy.
01:12:52
Speaker 8: Yep. Okay.
01:12:53
Speaker 3: Lots of rain this winter. You're not going to get that normal … You're not going to have that normal thing that we usually have in Florida where, you know, nice crisp mornings going into … Super clear afternoons, almost perfect. Apparently we're not going to have many of those this winter. It's going to be kind of a stormy winter.
01:13:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, very stormy. So they're thinking a repeat potentially of 1998 when we had that outbreak of really bad tornadoes.
01:13:15
Speaker 3: No, thank you.
01:13:16
Speaker 2: We keep waiting for our first cool blast, and I think that weeks and weeks and weeks ago, because, I mean, tomorrow the high is 85, Thursday the high is 85.
01:13:26
Speaker 3: This thing that we're having here is going to create a little bit of a break, I think, Toward the end of the week, we're supposed to be in the upper 70s. I mean, look, can I tell you, I'll take that in November. I will as well. I've gone to Halloween Horror Nights two days before Halloween, and it was 85 degrees out at 11 o'clock at night. I don't want to be frying a turkey on Thanksgiving in the 80s. Jack, I've got horrible news for anybody. I have terrible news for you, buddy. That's every Floridian's dream, right? Is to wake up on Thanksgiving and Christmas morning and have a little crisp.
01:14:00
Speaker 12: In the air.
01:14:00
Speaker 2: Oh, have it be like 70 degrees, nothing but sun.
01:14:03
Speaker 3: And it's funny. We either get it. We never get that day. We never get a Christmas morning when you wake up and it's like maybe 40. And then the high that day is maybe 58, you know, something like that. We always get this. It's either you wake up in the morning, it's 74 going up to 84.
01:14:17
Speaker 2: Yeah.
01:14:19
Speaker 3: Or you wake up that morning and it's 22 and it's going up to 26. Yeah, exactly. We get one of those things. We never get that perfect Christmas morning. We always get one of the others. It's either always balls-ass cold or it's blaming hot. Never get a perfect Christmas.
01:14:36
Speaker 2: I mean, I also remember trick-or-treating
wearing my moon boots because there was so much snow on the ground.
01:14:44
Speaker 3: Trying to fake it a little bit. I mean, you had plenty of white Christmases in Wisconsin.
01:14:48
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
01:14:49
Speaker 3: And you, too, as well, right? Not that you can remember because you moved out of there when you were young. Well, 22 when I moved out. But Jersey didn't have white Christmases?
01:14:57
Speaker 5: Nope.
01:14:58
Speaker 3: Man, I'll finish one of these sentences and say we've had them. They're just not regular.
01:15:04
Speaker 12: Oh, I see.
01:15:04
Speaker 5: Really?
01:15:04
Speaker 3: I thought it was automatic up there. No.
01:15:07
Speaker 5: Really?
01:15:07
Speaker 3: No. Is it because of the coast?
01:15:11
Speaker 6: If it snows in November or December, it's sporadic. The heart of winter is more late January through February. Whoa.
01:15:22
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:15:23
Speaker 3: Or all of January into February. When we went up to Maine the day after Christmas a few years back to go snowmobiling, we took the entire crew up there to do that. It was like a wonderland up there. I mean, it was fake. It was so beautiful. It was so perfectly Christmas. Everything about it was perfectly Christmas.
01:15:42
Speaker 2: Until you get to January, and that's when the snow is no longer fun.
01:15:46
Speaker 3: Well, that's what– can I tell you?
01:15:47
Speaker 2: Because that's blizzard season.
01:15:49
Speaker 3: It was no longer fun at the end of that trip. I mean, we went out there like, oh, God, am I everywhere you look, it's a postcard. Everywhere you look, it's a postcard. It's absolutely beautiful. Day four of that, you're like, I got to put these boots back on again. I got to put this bib back on again just to go outside. I mean, that part sucked. Like every time you had to go outside or come in, it took you 10 minutes to peel everything off.
01:16:09
Speaker 2: Oh, and it never failed. As soon as you got dressed is when you had to go pee.
01:16:12
Speaker 3: Oh, God. 100%. Or your kids.
01:16:15
Speaker 2: Have to go pee after you finally got them in their snowsuit with their scarf and their hat and their mittens and their boots.
01:16:21
Speaker 3: Wet feet was the worst. Oh, I hated that. That's why you would wrap your feet in bread bags.
01:16:26
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:16:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. You put your feet in bread bags and put your socks on so that you couldn't get water in your feet. It didn't matter because you still got like frost. You ever get frostbite?
01:16:36
Speaker 7: No.
01:16:36
Speaker 3: Oh, man, I got close one time. It's gnarly. Yeah, no, you don't want to take any chances with that. You've got to cut things off when you get it, right? I got real close when I was sledding one time. We lived in West Virginia for a short period of time, and I was out sledding, and I didn't have snow boots on because we're from Florida. It was our first winter there. I just had regular motorcycle boots. They were just like boots. And I'm out there playing, having a good time. And when you're a Floridian and you get an opportunity to play in the snow and sled, dude, it is like wonderland. It's like them going to the beach. They love it, right? So I'm out there for a couple hours. And I come in, and I tell my dad, I said, I can't feel my toes. My toes are pretty cold. He goes, oh, yeah? And he puts his hand on them, and he goes, oh, Jesus. Like, he knew how bad it was. And here's how I knew how cold it was. So, like we talked about a couple weeks ago, when it's cold outside, your water in your tap is really cold.
01:17:22
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:17:22
Speaker 3: Remember, right? When it gets cold? My dad put my feet under the water and turned on the cold water.
01:17:28
Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
01:17:28
Speaker 3: In West Virginia in January, and it felt like he poured boiling water on my feet.
01:17:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, the worst thing you can do for frostbite is to put hot water on it.
01:17:38
Speaker 3: That's how cold my feet were, is when he put cold-ass water on it, it still felt like boiling hot. Yeah, yeah. Came back to life. No toes.
01:17:46
Speaker 5: I'm good. All right, 407-916-1041.
01:17:48
Speaker 3: Text us 77031. Back in a sec with more of the Jim Colbert Show.
01:17:56
Speaker 1: Watch jim's face as he listens to your talkbacks live real radio.fm slash watch.
01:18:08
Speaker 5: I like snow for maybe like one afternoon i don't want to live in and snow cold snowy temperatures anymore we lived in rome new york and they during blizzards they would pile up the snow on.
01:18:21
Speaker 7: These apartment buildings really tall like two and three stories and then we would go over there and sled down it and i disappeared down behind it next to the apartment and the kids went and got daddy and he saved me because that's what daddies do.
01:18:36
Speaker 9: Yep After Bonnie Colbert covered on this wonderfully dry Tuesday afternoon. So hope everyone out there is just getting their vote on. I just got out of my precinct here in Melbourne.
01:18:49
Speaker 3: Happy to go.
01:18:50
Speaker 8: Get my votes in.
01:18:51
Speaker 9: And I'm just super happy to have the right to do that in this great country we live in.
01:18:57
Speaker 8: But Jimmy, quick question for you.
01:18:58
Speaker 5: Sure.
01:18:58
Speaker 8: Your refrigerator is running, right?
01:19:01
Speaker 3: Yes, dude.
01:19:02
Speaker 2: Okay, good, because I voted for it.
01:19:04
Speaker 8: Big T out.
01:19:07
Speaker 3: A different twist on it. Good for him. Your five o'clock keyword is deposit. I'll deposit that joke in the trash. D-E-P-O-S-I-T. Go to realradio.fm and send that away for your chance of a thousand bucks. Deposit the word, guys. Go get your money. It's yours. Just waiting there for you.
01:19:23
Speaker 6: He didn't have to chase it because it was running.
01:19:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. He voted for it because it was running. I get it, dude. That's good.
01:19:30
Speaker
12: Clever.
01:19:31
Speaker 3: He's clever. I'm Jim. There's Deb. Jack is here as well.
01:19:34
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:19:39
Speaker 3: So this is actually kind of a really interesting story I saw today, and I actually saw it yesterday. This is a scenario that happened at an elementary school. Nikki Anderson's six-year-old daughter, Harper, came home from school, public school, with a picture of in her backpack, and it made her mom very upset. And to be honest with you, I kind of understand where she's coming from. But again, I don't know that it's that serious. Here's what happened. Without her consent or anything like that, the elementary school thought it would be kind of fun to take a photograph of her six-year-old daughter and then put it into AI and make her 25 years old. So the daughter came home with a picture in her backpack of her as a 25-year-old nurse. And it was done with AI. Now, you think to yourself, that's kind of novel. I would think that would be something fun that you could do in an elementary school with AI that is kind of benign, that there's nothing really bad there. I mean, would it be kind of novel for you as a six-year-old to see yourself as an adult? And, of course, that's how I would think about it. Well, that's not how mom thought about it.
01:20:55
Speaker 2: Yeah.
01:20:56
Speaker 3: What do you think the issue is?
01:20:57
Speaker 6: Well, they're uploading a child's picture without their permission.
01:21:01
Speaker 3: There you go.
01:21:01
Speaker 9: 100%.
01:21:02
Speaker 3: Into an AI database. Stop right there. That's exactly what it is.
01:21:04
Speaker 17: Of course.
01:21:05
Speaker 2: And then they're using it to train. I mean, she has no control over what's going to happen now with her child's image.
01:21:10
Speaker 3: She says, she goes, the Charleston, South Carolina mom said, I've got questions. Were the parents consent? What AI tool had been used? What happened to the information that was uploaded? Beyond privacy, what might an image like that mean for a child's creativity and body image? Because what if the child– like what if the picture comes out and the kid's like, I don't like that. I don't want to do that. I'm not that.
01:21:33
Speaker 2: Well, I– that I think is easier to deal with than putting your minor child's photo into– you know, an AI system that, again, the mother doesn't know. It's like the whole issue with flock cameras, right?
01:21:47
Speaker 11: Yeah.
01:21:47
Speaker 2: We're not against using flock cameras to help law enforcement be able to do its job. Who the hell is flock?
01:21:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:21:54
Speaker 2: Who the hell's controlling this information? Who's controlling all of this data that you're collecting? And I would see that that's this mother's issue in this case.
01:22:01
Speaker 3: She said that, you know, she said, what might an image like that mean for a child's creativity and body image? What do you think? How would it affect that?
01:22:09
Speaker 6: Because you're creating an image of this is what you're going to look like in, what, 25 years, was it?
01:22:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I was just saying.
01:22:17
Speaker 6: Okay, so it says it's giving her an idea, an ideal, maybe. Maybe that's something she wants, and if it doesn't turn out that way, then there's a negative change.
01:22:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of what I thought. I was like, well, what if the child looked there and was like, well, I don't want my hair to look like that or I don't want this. Again, the mom could say, I kind of agree with Deb, the mom could say, well, we're just playing. Yeah, this is just an idea. This is just an idea.
01:22:42
Speaker 2: This is not what you're going to look like. This is just what this particular machine is thinking that may be the case.
01:22:48
Speaker 3: But if you keep eating that candy, you're going to be fatter in this picture. It says Anderson took those questions to Instagram. This is the mom. She went to Instagram. And she started asking, how many likes do you think this post got? By the way, Martina McBride chimed in on this. Oh, really? The country music star. 70,000. 750,000 people like this. And she's sharing her updates about trying to get answers from the school district, which they really don't want to talk to her about it. I bet. She said that they acknowledged the AI assignment. It's not an AI assignment. The kids aren't doing it. The teachers are. It's not an assignment for the children, right? And what is the point of the assignment? Well, teaching you things AI can do, but. It said the principal directed that similar activities be discontinued. So they're not going to do the AI trick anymore. And I bet the teacher probably just wasn't thinking about that. You know, just like the teacher probably thought about it like the way I would think of it. If I was a teacher, I would get in this kind of trouble. Because I wouldn't really think of the nefarious aspect of it. I would just think, oh, this is kind of fun. You know, you're showing a kid what they're going to look like at 25 years old. It's kind of fun to watch the reactions, maybe video that and have some fun with it in the class. But I mean, obviously, you know, with what we know of what happens with that stuff, you have to be very careful.
01:24:01
Speaker 2: Well, and unfortunately, it's the stuff that we don't know. I mean, in support of the teacher, they're probably just thinking, well, this is the technology of the future that these kids are going to be using. This is a fun, innocuous way to introduce the kids to AI, but didn't think about what it means once you upload a child's image.
01:24:20
Speaker 3: It says here that the mom made it clear that she's not trying to get the teacher fired. Or trying to vilify the school. She's just trying to let them know that, hey, look, you know. Not cool, bro. We understand you're trying to create a curriculum that the kids can learn and obviously get
on par with what AI is going to be. I mean, you're going to be dealing with it as an adult, as a teenager. It's going to be part of your life, no different than the Internet was as we kind of watched it blossom. That's going to be part of their life. The problem is, is like you should look for consent from parents. This is a six year old child. It's a girl, too, by the way, a six year old girl. And you're not asking me permission. I'm that child's parent. You know, you got to do better than that.
01:24:58
Speaker 2: Well, imagine it's it's like I mean, you still remember and talk about the experience. Of wanting to take a photo of a little girl in his Halloween costume, which is really cute.
01:25:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, just talked about it the other day.
01:25:08
Speaker 2: And then her dad stepped right up in there and was like, no, we're not doing that.
01:25:13
Speaker 3: And the minute he said it, I completely understood what he was talking about.
01:25:17
Speaker 2: But your intentions had nothing nefarious. It's the teacher probably thinking the same thing with the AI, but we don't know enough about AI to know if it's nefarious or not.
01:25:27
Speaker 3: So other parents recognize versions of the assignment. I guess commenters said that there was a kindergartner image thing that was going on. And what they were going to do is take their image and age them to 100 for the 100th day of school. So in other words, they were going to take a picture of the kid and take the kid from five years old to 100 years old, and that was going to be in celebration of the first 100 days of school, which would have been a really cool thing. But the problem is, you know, unless you get a permission, you can't do it. That could freak kids out more.
01:25:59
Speaker 2: I think so, too.
01:26:00
Speaker 6: I mean, one thing making them 25 or 30, another thing like, oh, this is what you're going to look like in your prime.
01:26:05
Speaker 2: But 100?
01:26:06
Speaker 5: Five years?
01:26:07
Speaker 3: Close to that.
01:26:07
Speaker 2: And five years old? I don't think they have the capacity to understand that.
01:26:13
Speaker 3: I'd be fist pumping. I'm going to make it to 100? I'd be pretty happy about that. She also said she heard about a teacher making an AI-generated cookbook for students' parents. A recipe for a small salad called for three entire heads of lettuce. Another mom complained about her school's PTA frequently sending out flyers clearly made with AI. So this is the thing with this school and parents interacting with AI, where the schools aren't telling the parents, hey, look, we're generating curriculum, we're generating some of the stuff that happens in the classroom with AI, and the parents kind of want to know.
01:26:46
Speaker 2: Well, someone just texted us at 77031. My job removed all chat GPT apps from phones and computers. Because they give out false information, it could be dangerous or harm the company.
01:26:57
Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah.
01:26:59
Speaker 6: There's definitely a backlash. My daughter, you know, in their 20s, her and her friends, if they like flyers and stuff, anytime they see artwork that is AI, they are immediately not only turned off to that, but to whatever they're promoting.
01:27:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly how I am. When I see it, I'm just like, oh, man, I don't know. And I don't know why. Because here's the thing. It is like if you did it with Photoshop, I wouldn't say the same thing. But Photoshop would have been kind of the AI of the day. I mean, you're able to do magical stuff with a photograph that doesn't exist. You're turning something into something that isn't real. But we didn't have a problem with that. We just knew that was the process. But for some reason with AI, there's no talent involved with it. You just have to prompt the machine correctly. With Photoshop, you still have to have some artistic talent, you know? Yes.
01:27:46
Speaker 6: Yeah, and the ability to handle that program, which at the time was a nightmare.
01:27:50
Speaker 3: There's a lot. Yeah, it didn't have the same threat to future jobs Photoshop didn't, that AI did. To some, sure. Yeah, to some. I mean, obviously there's some graphic designers out there, but nothing like this. I mean, nothing like wiping out an entire prepress operation with one computer with AI. Photoshop was more of a tool, not a replacement worker.
01:28:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, no.
01:28:12
Speaker 3: It was a tool for workers. It couldn't do anything by itself. And with AI, you just kind of pop in the prompt and tell it what you want, and it spits out. And all of it looks the same. That's the thing that I can't get over with AI. Every time I see an AI-created spot or whatever, and I see it all the time, people around here use it and stuff, and I see it, and I'm like, man, it all looks exactly the same. Like it's same color, same.
01:28:35
Speaker 14: Style, you know?
01:28:36
Speaker 2: I'm mad because the real I saw of the kitten who fell off and into the bowl of milk was AI.
01:28:43
Speaker 3: I got busted the other day. I'll bust myself out for it. You ready? Oh, it happens all the time. If Angel is listening right now, he'll be laughing his nards off. So I found a band online the other day. Oh, no. And I found this band, and it was just on Facebook. And it was the coolest sounding stuff. I could probably find it again and send it over and let you hear it. Um, and Angel and I for years have always sent stuff back and forth to each other when it comes to music. If he finds something cool, he'll send it to me. If he thinks I'm, it's in a realm I would like, and I do the same for him. Mine is a little different because Angel does music all the time. So when I find something, I think it's kind of cool. I send it over. Most of the time, he's already heard about it. Most of the time, he already knows the albums they've already had out. And I sent him this one and I said, I said, Loco, check this out.
This is amazing. And he did not respond. And I didn't think about it. I didn't think anything about it because I know he's a busy guy. I'm a busy guy. I just didn't think anything about it. And then when I went online, I saw it again, and I saw it's just one guy with ChatGPT. And he created this entire band, this entire thing. All the sounds were all done with AI. And I texted him back, and I said, dude, that thing I sent you the other day, that guy is just totally AI from one guy. You know what he said, Mac? He goes, I didn't have the heart to tell you. And I'm like, just tell me, dude. Just tell me. Help me out a little bit. What are you doing? He's probably laughing his ass off over there.
01:30:06
Speaker 2: He's like, I've listened to the show. I know how you are with technology.

01:30:34
Speaker 3: Hey, JCS crew, what's going on?
01:30:36
Speaker 1: This is Ray Mello.
01:30:37
Speaker 4: As an educator, using AI is banned in my school. As a matter of fact, the teacher that allowed that to use the child's image without the permission.
01:30:51
Speaker 3: Of the parents, she can get sued by the parents. The parents have a.
01:30:55
Speaker 4: Right to sue her and also the school and the district for allowing them to do that without permission.
01:31:01
Speaker 1: So, have a good day.
01:31:04
Speaker 3: Oh, Jimmy, I woke up today, I'm 53, and I'm ugly as hell, fat and stupid.
01:31:09
Speaker 8: If I seen that at five years old.
01:31:11
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I might have changed my life.
01:31:13
Speaker 14: But I ain't going to know I'm fat and stupid at this age, but I would have known that I'm ugly.
01:31:19
Speaker 17: Man, that ain't right.
01:31:20
Speaker 8: Don't do that, little kid.
01:31:21
Speaker 3: Let him have his own piece. I can look back 50 years and realize I was a cutie pie. But no, no, don't do that. He's not convinced now, though, he says. By the way, somebody texted in during the break and said another aspect of that that was kind of wild is that the– I don't know if I mentioned this. They made– the teacher made her a nurse.
01:31:42
Speaker 2: Right.
01:31:42
Speaker 3: Like a 25-year-old nurse. And somebody texted in and said, why not a doctor? Well, maybe she asked the girl, what would you like to be when you grow up? And she said a nurse. She could have. Yeah, 100%. Your 5 o'clock keyword is deposit, D-E-P-O-S-I-T. Go to realradio.fm and send that off for your chance at $ 1, 000. You can also enter using the iHeartRadio app. And if you do that, please make us your number one preset when you're hanging out. And everyone knows nurses are the real heroes anyway. 100%. I'm Jim. There's Deb. Hello. Jack is here as well. I think maybe the hardest partying, maybe outside of teachers, the people who get down the most, and I think the reason why is because have you ever partied with a teacher, like some teachers? What do you mean by party? Yeah, just hang out with them at a club or whatever. Go to a bar with a couple teachers. What do you mean by teacher? Yeah, school teacher, yeah. I mean, I don't know how much more complicated that could be. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, school teacher. They get loose. They like to have fun. And the only other group I can say that I've hung out with that gets that kind of lose are nurses. And I think it's because most of their jobs are so stressful, they want to get loose as quickly as they can. Without a doubt.
01:32:45
Speaker 6: As a matter of fact, that's the premise of the Monsters Teacher Appreciation Party every year is– happy hour for the teachers before they go back to school because, you know, they like to party. But with nurses, I mean, you only have to watch one episode of The Pit to see that, oh, yeah, they need it.
01:33:01
Speaker 3: They deserve it. They need that to unwind. Oh, there's a guy, a comedian that does a bit, and the bit is basically his wife is a nurse, and he is not. He has a regular office job on top of being a stand-up. And he tells a story about going to Starbucks and ordering a coffee. And when he got to the window, they gave him two coffees. And he said he couldn't stop talking about that for an entire afternoon. Matter of fact, he said, I called my wife and I was going to tell her the story. I said, hey, how's your day going? She goes, well, it's been a weird day. I did have somebody come in and triage a minute ago and they stopped breathing. And I tried to bring them back to life and they coughed up blood. So I had to clean all that blood out of their mouth and then still kind of revive them with my hands and bring them back to life. And thank God we did that. You know, I did that. We did that before 11 o'clock today. Why'd you call? He was calling to brag about getting two free coffees. And this chick is saving lives before noon. It's not even no comparison whatsoever because nurses do the dirty stuff. My wife was going to be one, and she worked in a retirement or an assisted living facility. That was going to be one of her first jobs, and it took her about three days, if I remember right.
01:34:14
Speaker 2: You have to be a very special person.
01:34:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, because, I mean, you're cleaning everything, and you don't know these people. They're not your mom or dad or your uncle or aunt or your daughter or son. They're just people you're there to take care of, and you've got to do everything. And she said a couple of those. She goes, some of those people, it may have been more than three days. She said that some of them kind of understood everything. especially she said she had one old guy that kind of understood what a pain in
the ass it was for the nurses. And he would like, he'd lean into that. Like he would ask for stuff because he knew they didn't like it.
01:34:45
Speaker 2: Oh, of course.
01:34:46
Speaker 3: Like different, you know, like, cause you get sponge baths and things of that nature. So there's another story out there right now. It's our question of the day, by the way, have you had a McRib this year? Uh, because the McRib is available again. McDonald's finds themselves in a little bit of a quandary here. A federal judge rejected McDonald's request to dismiss a proposed class action lawsuit alleging that the fast food giant has defrauded customers about the meat used in the McRib sandwich. Now, let me ask you before I read you the what's going on with this lawsuit. If I were to say, hey, guys, do you want to go out for a McRib sandwich or a rib sandwich?
01:35:25
Speaker 11: Right.
01:35:26
Speaker 3: Would you assume automatically that that sandwich was going to have rib meat in it or part of it? Well, rib meat. Yes.
01:35:33
Speaker 6: Yes.
01:35:34
Speaker 3: It's a rib sandwich, right? Right, right, right. When you go to barbecue places, they'll put like a half a rack or a quarter rack of ribs on a couple pieces of bread. They don't expect you to eat the bones. The whole idea is if you serve like that, you can have the white bread with it, right? A lot of good barbecue places do that. White bread, pickles, things of that nature go really well with barbecue. Yeah, but would you as well? Well, of course.
01:35:55
Speaker 2: It's a barbecue pork sandwich.
01:35:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, that's the problem because what happens is these guys are– the guys who are suing– Four plaintiffs, by the way, say that McRib's name, shape, marketing, limited availability, it causes consumers to mistakenly believe the sandwich contains more expensive rib meat. McDonald's contends that no reasonable person could expect rib meat to be in the McRib sandwich.
01:36:25
Speaker 2: Well, then why would they call it a McRib?
01:36:26
Speaker 3: And shape it like one.
01:36:28
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I understand you can say about the bones because it's shaped like it has bones in it.
01:36:34
Speaker 3: Right, yeah.
01:36:34
Speaker 9: Right?
01:36:35
Speaker 3: That's not what they're talking about. They're talking about the bones.
01:36:37
Speaker 6: But I knew it was all, you know, like they're nuggets.
01:36:40
Speaker 3: It's all chopped up, compressed. Yeah, but it's still chicken. But with the chicken there, it says it right there. It's mechanically removed rib meat. So when they strip the, well, I mean, that's rib meat. It's rib meat, right? So basically, if you read it. So it's a problem. So what I understand what that is, is when they de-meat the chicken, like if you de-breast a chicken, there's still little bits of meat in the rib bones, and they basically go in there and take all that out and turn that into a nugget.
01:37:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I know. It's just the machine separate. It just doesn't make the mouth water.
01:37:08
Speaker 3: It does not. No. It says the lawsuit alleges McDonald's uses lower-grade pork products, including shoulder, heart, tripe, and stomach meat. As a result, customers overpay for the sandwich because those products are considerably cheaper than rib meat. Ribs are expensive. You know, a rack of baby backs are like, what, $ 28 right now? And you only get so much meat out of that. Time out.
01:37:30
Speaker 6: The McRib is cheaper than getting, if you went and bought ribs, the McRib is cheaper.
01:37:36
Speaker 3: Way cheaper.
01:37:37
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:37:38
Speaker 3: That's what they're saying. They're saying they're selling the sandwich as if it's pork or rib meat, but they're not using any rib meat. They're using byproducts or other products. It's primarily pork shoulder. Yeah, that's what they say. McDonald's contains that it doesn't use any of that stuff. It's always been transparent about its ingredients, and the lawsuit sorts the facts. But what McDonald's says is they just say, hey, it's a pork sandwich sandwich. And the company contends.
01:38:03
Speaker 2: No, they do not.
01:38:04
Speaker 3: It says here.
01:38:05
Speaker 8: Hold on now.
01:38:05
Speaker 3: It says the company contends. By the way, what year did this get introduced? Do you guys remember? Seventy four.
01:38:11
Speaker 2: Eighty three.
01:38:12
Speaker 3: Eighty one is the answer. I nailed it. It says the company contends the distinctive product names do not fool reasonable customers and the plaintiff's preference for a certain cut of pork doesn't turn McDonald's truthful marketing into consumer fraud. In other words, what they're saying is just because we don't use rib meat doesn't mean it's not a pork sandwich.
01:38:32
Speaker 2: Well, then call it a McPork sandwich.
01:38:35
Speaker 3: I don't mind.
01:38:36
Speaker 6: I'm tired of these lawsuits like the jack-o'-lantern face not being on the Reese's peanut butter cup.
01:38:42
Speaker 5: Shut up.
01:38:43
Speaker 3: Everyone's looking for a payout.
01:38:44
Speaker 8: Shut up.
01:38:45
Speaker 5: Sit down.
01:38:46
Speaker 3: It's processed, all squished together pork. Yeah, but dude, if it was hard enough. There are some religions that don't eat organ meat. Like, a heart is organ meat. I mean, if there are heart pieces in there, there are some people who don't eat that stuff.
01:38:59
Speaker 6: They consider it dirty. I think pork is higher on the list of things they don't eat.
01:39:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe so.
01:39:03
Speaker 2: I just think that the gall. The goal to create this kind of fervor around a product that's only released limited times every year.
01:39:14
Speaker 8: Yeah.
01:39:14
Speaker 2: The McRib is back. They show it like a traditional barbecue sandwich complete with the pickles.
01:39:19
Speaker 3: Red onions.
01:39:20
Speaker 2: And the barbecue sauce dripping off the side.
01:39:22
Speaker 10: Yeah.
01:39:23
Speaker 3: That's a great picture.
01:39:24
Speaker 2: They're doing everything to sell it as a rib sandwich except when they get caught.
01:39:29
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:39:30
Speaker 2: Selling basically the scraps off the factory floor.
01:39:33
Speaker 3: If that's what they're doing. They contend they're not doing that.
01:39:35
Speaker 2: Well, they can contend whatever they want.
01:39:37
Speaker 3: It says McDonald's website describes the sandwich only as containing pork. It says, but, quote, the court cannot conclude that it would be unreasonable for a consumer to believe that the McRib contains rib meat. That is not unreasonable.
01:39:51
Speaker 2: No, of course not.
01:39:52
Speaker 3: It's the McRib sandwich. And I bet people out there right now, do you honestly believe, though? I guess we're going to find out. Maybe we should change the... Having one of the sandwiches is one thing. Do you buy it because you think it's got pork in there? Do you buy it because you think it's got rib meat?
01:40:05
Speaker 2: I think people that wait for it to come out do specifically believe it at least has rib meat.
01:40:11
Speaker 3: And the judge even chimes in. He goes, ads highlighting the meat's rib-like shape could support a claim of intent to defraud. It says, though further proof was needed, plaintiff's proffered understanding of a McRib is not unreasonable or fanciful. In other words, they shape it like a rib, they call it the McRib, and then they tell you it would be unreasonable for you to think there's rib meat in it.
01:40:34
Speaker 2: It's no different in my mind than tobacco executives saying that cigarettes are no more addictive than gummy bears.
01:40:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:40:41
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous to assume that we're... Because again, if you're just making a pork sandwich, then make it look like a pulled pork sandwich because then you're not promising what part of the pig that you're getting.
01:40:51
Speaker 3: This is like the Red Bull thing, right? Is there some rib meat in there? Do not know the answer to that. I think they contain there's none. Who contains? Yeah, yeah. The people who are filing... The people looking for a payout. Yeah, the people who are filing this lawsuit contend that there's no rib meat in it at all. Piffle and Flummery. Yeah, Piffle and Flummery.
01:41:08
Speaker 9: This.
01:41:09
Speaker 2: I.
01:41:10
Speaker 3: Leave them alone.
01:41:11
Speaker 6: I bet if there's a little rib meat in there, then you're okay. Well, they have to prove there's a little rib.
01:41:16
Speaker 8: Meat, though.
01:41:16
Speaker 3: Yeah. You see. I haven't had one in years. But you have to admit, though, shaping it like a rack of ribs.
01:41:23
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:41:24
Speaker 3: Forming it into that shape. And that's what they do. I mean, they form that shape. It does not naturally occur like that. And then they call it the McRib.
01:41:32
Speaker 6: Hey, when I eat those little
dinosaur chicken nuggets, I don't think it's real dinosaur.
01:41:36
Speaker 3: I know they're shaped like that. But it's a dinosaur-shaped chicken nugget. It's not a dinosaur nugget.
01:41:40
Speaker 2: And you still know that you're getting the meat that's promised because it might be dinosaur-shaped, but it's still a chicken nugget.
01:41:47
Speaker 3: But I've got to tell you. Listen, I've got to tell you. The nugget thing is beyond me. I'll get a strip because I know a strip is a piece of chicken. When you bite into one of those nuggets and you look in the middle of it.
01:41:56
Speaker 2: No, thank you. I like chicken nuggets. No, it does not.
01:42:00
Speaker 3: I've never seen a chicken like that.
01:42:02
Speaker 6: You know what I can't find? McRib on the McDonald's website.
01:42:07
Speaker 3: Really? I'm looking at one right now. It looks delicious. Onions and that barbecue sauce and those pickles on that bun. Man, that looks really good. Oh, I cooked my lunch today. I had to cook. Did you really? What did you make? Frozen hamburger patty. But check it out. Listen, listen, listen, listen. Let me ask you a question real quick before we end. What dorm number are you in? I can't remember. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:42:32
Speaker 10: 222.
01:42:32
Speaker 17: Yeah.
01:42:32
Speaker 3: All right.
01:42:33
Speaker 6: So listen. I use the, what is it? The avocado, like olive oil or avocado oil. A little of that frying pan.
01:42:41
Speaker 5: Boom.
01:42:41
Speaker 3: Five minutes each side. Raw onions. American cheese, because American cheese is the best. For burgers, I agree with you. Thank you. And what else?
01:42:50
Speaker 6: Oh, took my hamburger bun that's been in my house for way too long.
01:42:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, 6,000 years. And still hasn't turned green. Like it came out of the oven yesterday. Warmed it a little in the toaster to soften it up a little bit. Yeah. Oh, what a good time.
01:43:03
Speaker 5: Really, huh?
01:43:03
Speaker 3: Uh-oh, added a little garlic salt, salt, and pepper. Yeah, are you a mayo on your burger guy? No, ketchup.
01:43:10
Speaker 6: I went lettuce, raw onion, ketchup. Oh, and Wickels pickles because I found them in the back of the fridge. Yeah, that's when they're the best, too. When they sit back there for about a year is when they get the really good.
01:43:19
Speaker 3: At least a year old. And that brine turns into like a syrup. And if you haven't had a Wickels pickle, you've got to go get one. Were you sweet Wickels or were you the dill Wickel? I think they're sweet. They were sweet. There's another one that's not, though. I've had the sweet ones, and they're really good. But I've also had Wickels that aren't sweet. There were four pickle chips left. No, six. I put four on my burger and left two, and I'm like, what do I do with these? Yeah, and bro, that'll light you up. I mean, those wickles are no joke. I mean, if you get them fresh like that, they're real. Have you ever had one, Deb?
01:43:48
Speaker 2: I did.
01:43:49
Speaker 3: Wickles, pickles? Yeah. They got a kick to them. Like a bread and butter pickle with a jalapeno kick?
01:43:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like the jalapeno kick. I am not a bread and butter pickle fan.
01:43:56
Speaker 3: I'm not either.
01:43:57
Speaker 2: My grandmother used to eat those things by that handful. We used to bring jars to Columbia. My mom and my grandmother both loved bread and butter pickles.
01:44:04
Speaker 3: I'm like, bleh. I can't stand them. No, it's got to be a dill pickle. Even when I eat those wickles, I only eat a couple of them because the flavor is good. But they're so sweet. That's the other thing, too. I can imagine how much sugar is in that brine for those wickles. Put those last two back in the fridge. How old do you think the oldest jar in your fridge is right now?
01:44:26
Speaker 6: Oh, I threw out some salad dressings yesterday, three bottles that all expired in 2025.
01:44:32
Speaker 3: Did you really?
01:44:33
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:44:33
Speaker 3: That's not bad. I know, right? I have a bottle of hot sauce in my fridge, and the edges of the lid are so crusty. That I don't even want to open it up. I don't want to look at the date. And now it's just an experiment how long you can stay there. But I've actually had a bottle of capers in my fridge for six years once.
01:44:55
Speaker 5: Oh.
01:44:56
Speaker 3: All right. Hot sauce question. You open it, you use it. Does it have to go in the fridge? It does not.
01:45:02
Speaker 2: Because of all the vinegar, right?
01:45:05
Speaker 3: Yes. By the way, ketchup's the same way. You're not supposed to put ketchup in the fridge.
01:45:09
Speaker 2: Even after you open it, it says you're supposed to refrigerate it.
01:45:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think ketchup is supposed.
01:45:13
Speaker 8: To do that.
01:45:13
Speaker 2: Oh, well, I'm not going to go on a– I don't think it is. I think ketchup– You want to crap yourself, silly, go for it.
01:45:21
Speaker 3: I think ketchup is– it's like eggs. You don't put eggs in the fridge, right? If you get them from the farm, you don't. If you wash them, you've got to put them in the fridge. But if you don't, like we've had eggs at the house that have been sitting on the counter for two weeks. Also, butter is another one you don't have to do.
01:45:33
Speaker 5: Yep.
01:45:33
Speaker 2: A lot of people don't know that once you wash your eggs, then you do have to put.
01:45:36
Speaker 3: Them in the fridge. You've got to put them in the fridge. I just keep them in the fridge. Keep them away from the cats.
01:45:40
Speaker 8: Yeah.
01:45:40
Speaker 10: Yeah.
01:45:42
Speaker 3: Butter, though, I'll leave out in the dish because that's great because then it's soft. Nice and soft. Yeah, exactly. The absolute best. But I don't use it anyway. Smart balance. Thank you. Close your cholesterol. No, ketchup does not strictly need to be refrigerated for food safety because it's high acidity. Tomatoes and vinegar, salt, and sugar naturally prevent dangerous bacteria from growing. Manufacturers like Heinz recommend refrigerating afterwards to preserve its flavor, color, and texture, but it does not have to happen. And you think about that. You go to diners. Yeah, that's true. And you go to a diner and all the ketchup is sitting out there on the table for you. It's not in the fridge.
01:46:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, but do you ever look closely and be like, that's more brown than red?
01:46:18
Speaker 3: No, get out of here. And I haven't seen a shaking bottle of... a glass bottle of ketchup in so long.
01:46:23
Speaker 2: I know.
01:46:24
Speaker 3: Back in the day, that was like half the fun of going to a diner is trying to get the ketchup out of the bottle. Now it's all squeeze bottles. So I end up losing like a quarter of it, but you're supposed to leave the squeeze bottle. You store them upside down, right? Well, they, they, that's how they are designed, right?
01:46:38
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:46:38
Speaker 8: Yeah.
01:46:39
Speaker 6: My mistake is I keep opening it up upside down and then it just You got to turn it right side up to open it and then turn it over.
01:46:47
Speaker 3: Are there even glass bottle ketchups? Does Heinz still make a glass bottle? I think you see them at restaurants. Not one of the little ones, because they have those little ones sometimes when you go to fancy places. They'll give you a little bottle of ketchup and mustard, and it looks like just a miniature version of the bottle you get at the store. I think they do for restaurants. Do they really?
01:47:05
Speaker 10: Yeah.
01:47:07
Speaker 3: High-end. Not the ones that give you the plastic red... You know, squirt tube. Yeah, but the thing is, with good restaurants, they bring it out in a little container. They bring it out in a little ramekin, like a little stainless steel ramekin.
01:47:18
Speaker 6: Listen, rich guy, there's a world in between the good restaurants and the.
01:47:23
Speaker 3: Ones with the squirt bottle. It happens with Wendy's, douche. At Wendy's, you get it like that. It's not fancy, rich, anything.
01:47:28
Speaker 5: Oh, no, no.
01:47:28
Speaker 3: Wendy's, it's a packet.
01:47:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no.
01:47:31
Speaker 3: You get the little plastic cup, like when you go to Tijuana Flats. Oh, yeah, yeah. That was the whole thing of going to Wendy's. You got to pump your own ketchup and mayonnaise. Like you felt like an adult. All right, 77031, that's how you text us. Got a few minutes left for your keyword deposit, D-E-P-O-S-I-T. Go to realradio.fm and send that off for your chance at $ 1, 000. Load them up. It's time for trivia. We'll do that next.
01:47:53
Speaker 8: Happy Tuesday, everyone. Hey, about the McRib thing.
01:47:56
Speaker 19: Yeah, I'm the last person to defend billionaires and corporations, but come on. Even when I was a kid in the early 80s, late 70s, I knew whenever it came.
01:48:08
Speaker 8: Out, I knew the McRib was just fake.
01:48:12
Speaker 3: They even said it.
01:48:14
Speaker 8: I think that there was an expose back then. So this is just a money grab.
01:48:19
Speaker 9: Cheers.
01:48:19
Speaker 8: Cheers.
01:48:20
Speaker 3: Care good evening Colbert crew hello happy Tuesday yeah what few people.
01:48:26
Speaker 12: Know is why the McRib comes out in limited times is that McDonald's buys enough pork to actually influence the pork futures, and they bet on that, and they make a little money in the meantime.
01:48:45
Speaker 3: Wow. Never thought about that. That's crazy.
01:48:48
Speaker 8: JCS crew.
01:48:49
Speaker 3: What's up, player?
01:48:50
Speaker 15: Many, many moons ago, I had a McRib, and I'm telling you, one and done.
01:48:57
Speaker 12: I will never eat that nasty crap again.
01:48:59
Speaker 3: All right, man. Love the show, y'all. Thank you, brother. Appreciate it. Coming in hot on the McRib. And what sucks is I'll tell you what's crazy about it, right?
01:49:09
Speaker 11: Yeah.
01:49:10
Speaker 3: So it is odd because there are people who love McDonald's. Like they eat there two or three times a week. They just don't like that product. Yeah, that product does not hit them right. You know, it's kind of wild. Like, people who won't like the McRib will still like every other thing that McDonald's has to offer. But some people like the McRib. Yeah, yeah, and a lot of people like it. I mean, they don't bring it back because it's hated.
01:49:29
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:49:29
Speaker 3: These guys are just filing a lawsuit, and it could be a bunny grab. I mean, it sounds kind of like the Red Bull thing a little bit.
01:49:34
Speaker 2: Yeah.
01:49:35
Speaker 3: Like, you know, nobody believed that Red Bull was going to make you fly.
01:49:38
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:49:38
Speaker 3: You didn't need to sue them. I didn't get wings.
01:49:41
Speaker 8: Right, exactly.
01:49:42
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous. You said you were going to give me wings. That's exactly what you think they sound like, too, right? All right, welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show. I'm Jim. There's Deb.
01:49:50
Speaker 8: Hello.
01:49:51
Speaker 3: Jack is here.
01:49:51
Speaker 5: Yep.
01:49:52
Speaker 3: And he has the Jackie sack. What's in there? All aboard.
01:49:54
Speaker 2: Chugga-chugga.
01:49:54
Speaker 5: Choo-choo.
01:49:55
Speaker 3: Wiggity-glack, wiggity-glack. Here we go. Got a pair of tickets to watch Orlando City take on New England Revolution at Inter.co Stadium.
01:50:03
Speaker 6: It's the regular season finale. It's this Saturday afternoon, November 7th.
01:50:08
Speaker 3: And this is huge.
01:50:08
Speaker 6: They've clinched a playoff berth, but they definitely want to be seeded better. So I would say it's a must-win game for the boys in purple. You could be there, or perhaps a pair of tickets to see Kathleen Madigan's Flying Cats Tour. She's coming to the Hard Rock Live on January 22nd. So maybe you win this. Maybe it's a Christmas gift for someone.
01:50:31
Speaker
3: Who knows? It's Kathleen Madigan. She's funny, and she's coming to the Hard Rock. She's funny as hell. Yeah. Old schooler, dude. She's been around for a minute. She's damn good. Those are the prizes in the Jackie sack. Massively respected by other comics, too, by the way.
01:50:43
Speaker 2: Back to you, clickety-clack.
01:50:44
Speaker 3: Hey, Debra. One, two, three, four, or five?
01:50:46
Speaker 2: Let's go five.
01:50:47
Speaker 3: Five took off, so one, two, three, or four?
01:50:50
Speaker 2: Let's go two.
01:50:51
Speaker 3: That sounds good. This is Mike. Mike, how are you? I'm doing well, Jimmy.
01:50:55
Speaker 5: Good.
01:50:55
Speaker 3: Glad to hear that, buddy. Want to play a little game with us?
01:50:58
Speaker 8: I sure do.
01:50:58
Speaker 3: Well, let's do it, then. All right, Mike, this is a real easy game. Got a question here for you. Four answers. One of these answers is not true. What? But if you find it, I'll send you over to see Jack. It'll be uncomfortable for a minute. Then you can get some free. You ready? Let it happen.
01:51:15
Speaker 5: Yes.
01:51:16
Speaker 3: All right, buddy, here we go. On this day in 1994. Sony releases the very first edition of the PlayStation on this day.
01:51:25
Speaker 8: Wow.
01:51:26
Speaker 3: Here are three fun facts about the PlayStation and one lie that stayed in its room for an entire weekend. All right, buddy, we're talking about the PlayStation. Which one of these is not true? Number one, Sony US wanted the console to be purple to attract attention, but Sony corporate said, no, it's staying gray. Number two, there were over 200 controller prototypes before they landed on the one that was included with the console. Number three, in 2010, the U.S. Air Force used 1,700 PlayStations linked together to process high-resolution satellite images. Or lastly, the PlayStation 1 game Gran Turismo 2 had a scratch-and-sniff disc that smelled like burned rubber and exhaust. Which of those is a lie?
01:52:11
Speaker 2: Number one.
01:52:12
Speaker 3: That's the one, buddy. You're a winner.
01:52:13
Speaker 8: Whoa!
01:52:15
Speaker 3: Did you know that right off the rip, or is that a guess?
01:52:18
Speaker 8: It's pretty much a guess, but I kind of had an idea.
01:52:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, so what happened was America wanted to make theirs in black.
01:52:26
Speaker 5: Right.
01:52:26
Speaker 3: And Sony, I guess it's gray, this grayish color. And Sony's like, nope, we want it all one color, so it's going to stay gray. And they fought pretty hard, but they said, no, they won. It's going to be gray, and it is. You're a winner, buddy. I'm going to put you on hold.
01:52:38
Speaker 2: Congratulations.
01:52:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I felt that's... I thought that actually wasn't a bad one either. He knew that immediately.
01:52:44
Speaker 2: Because he was probably in his bedroom for a week.
01:52:48
Speaker 3: Could be. There were 200 controller prototypes before they landed on the one that was
included with the console. In 2010, the U.S. Air Force did use, actually it was over 1,700, it was 1,760 PlayStations linked together to process high-resolution satellite images.
01:53:05
Speaker 2: That's disturbing.
01:53:07
Speaker 3: By the way, there's another one where they linked a bunch of them together to figure something else out as well. And they actually used to sell a kit where you could do a couple things to your PlayStation and basically turn it into a laptop or turn it into a home computer system. It's crazy. The PlayStation 1 game, Gran Turismo 2, did have a scratch and sniff disc that smelled like burned rubber and exhaust. Kind of all the ones. He picked that one at the top. That's the one I would have picked immediately.
01:53:32
Speaker 2: I would have picked the one with the Air Force.
01:53:34
Speaker 3: Oh, really? Yeah.
01:53:35
Speaker 12: Yeah.
01:53:35
Speaker 3: A couple other things you may not know before we get to the top of the hour. Don't forget, we do have It's Only Money coming up on the next hour. PlayStation 2 is the best-selling video game console ever, selling how many units? A billion.
01:53:50
Speaker 2: A billion and one.
01:53:51
Speaker 3: Oh, no, it's under. It's 160 million. Damn it, Jack. PlayStation 3 is the heaviest gaming console on the market, weighing how much? Do you have a PS3, by the way? I do not. I had a.
01:54:05
Speaker 5: Did I?
01:54:05
Speaker 6: I had a PS2, and then after that I made the jump to Xbox.
01:54:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, your Xbox, too.
01:54:11
Speaker 2: Three pounds.
01:54:14
Speaker 5: Eight.
01:54:14
Speaker 3: Eleven pounds.
01:54:15
Speaker 12: Damn.
01:54:16
Speaker 3: That is heavy as hell, by the way, for a video game. And in the last year, Sony boosted the game by, this is brilliant. So when Sony released this thing in 94, they had no idea it was going to do anything. I mean, they thought it would do pretty well, but they didn't know. Right. So they hedged their bets, and here's what they did. They went to 52 of the most banging clubs in all of Europe, from London to Barcelona to Spain to Paris.
01:54:42
Speaker 2: Ibiza.
01:54:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, everywhere that you could find a city with a real banging club scene. They went into those clubs, and they asked the club owners if they could build a PlayStation gaming area. So they went into the club, they found a little room, they set up a couple PlayStations, and just invited people from the club to come in and play the video games while they were hanging out at the club. And it helped promote the PlayStation all throughout Europe, and they said it led to it becoming one of the biggest things ever. Right.
01:55:10
Speaker 2: That's clever.
01:55:10
Speaker 3: They basically let club kids play with it while they were up there dancing and stuff, and they were like, well, when they got home, they were like, That was fun. I want to get one of those machines.
01:55:17
Speaker 8: Right, exactly.
01:55:18
Speaker 3: That's exactly what happened.
01:55:19
Speaker 2: And here we are.
01:55:20
Speaker 3: All right, 407-916-1041. Don't forget, we do have another keyword coming up at the top of the hour back in a second with more of the Jim Colbert Show.
01:55:28
Speaker 1: Obviously, this is why YouTube was created. Obviously, at Jim Colbert Show on YouTube.
01:55:37
Speaker 13: A buddy of mine lives in St. Lucie, and they didn't close the schools down ahead of time. They still had kids come in. And I think it was yesterday, the flooding got so bad and everything was getting so severe that the school let the kids out an hour early but didn't notify any parents.
01:56:00
Speaker 5: Oh, no.
01:56:00
Speaker 13: So any kids that were small enough to not get off the bus by themselves were stuck on the bus until like 9 o'clock at night.
01:56:07
Speaker 17: Oh, man.
01:56:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm telling you, I saw that kid get off the bus today. Somebody else saw that video because they texted about it earlier when I mentioned it. They let a kid off the bus. He's a middle school kid, probably in the 6th, 7th grade maybe. They let him off the bus in a foot of water, and as he's walking in front of the bus... The water's up to the bottom of the bus, and he doesn't know where he's going because he's walking, and he just kind of dips into an area that's too deep, and he goes from his knees to his chest pretty quick. And cell phone, school books, all that wasted backpack right there on him. Your 6 o'clock keyword is money. That's M-O-N-E-Y. Go to realradio.fm and send that away for your chance at $ 1, 000. You can also enter using the iHeartRadio app, and if you do that, please make it your No. 1 preset when you're doing that. I'm Jim. Dev is here. Hello. And so is Jack. Yeah. Scott Brown coming up in just a few minutes. It's only money. Trying to get your finances in order. Jack, your dad passed early, right? I was 7. 7 years old. What do you remember the most about him, though? At seven, do you remember very much? A few times.
01:57:13
Speaker 6: He would always be doing stuff around the house, very handy. He had a few jobs, but he– very handy around the house, whether it was painting– Or fixing stuff.
01:57:27
Speaker 3: You just remember him being like a dad around the house. Yeah, yeah. We had a sub-basement, like a cellar. Yeah.
01:57:37
Speaker 6: That was the tool room, but it was all built into that. It was really cool.
01:57:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, very cool. Do you remember how he fathered you? Do you remember if you did something, was he supportive? Did he father you with discipline or with encouragement? Do you remember how at all?
01:57:55
Speaker 6: I remember one time where a kid kicked me, like knocked me down. He was like twice the size of me.
01:58:04
Speaker 3: Yeah.
01:58:05
Speaker 6: Yeah and i was yelling my dad came running and stood up for me and and then he goes what'd you do? I said, well, I called him, you know, uh, his name was Chris Rhea and I called
him diarrhea.
01:58:16
Speaker 8: Oh yeah.
01:58:17
Speaker 3: That's a good one. And my dad looked at me, he goes, well, what'd you do that for? So the words kind of blamed you for getting in the fight.
01:58:24
Speaker 2: Yeah.
01:58:24
Speaker 5: Yeah.
01:58:25
Speaker 3: Kind of instigated. All right. How about you, Debra? And do you remember, uh, with your dad and your mom, how the support was when you were growing up? Uh, in other words, was your mom like, um, supportive, encouraging, or a disciplinarian? Disciplinarian. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And that was your father?
01:58:45
Speaker 2: It didn't cross my mother.
01:58:46
Speaker 6: It didn't cross the mom, okay. Same scenario in my house, by the way. My mom was a.
01:58:52
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, the one, right? Yeah, yeah. Have you guys ever heard the term almond mom or almond dad?
01:58:58
Speaker 17: No.
01:58:58
Speaker 3: That's a new one. I'd never heard that term either, but I read a story in Yahoo that was kind of interesting. An almond mom... And this will tell you which one you had. If you're out there listening, you know, like almond mom or an almond dad. I was going to talk about this when Ross was here, but I just want to talk about it now. An almond mom might mask her judgment with passive aggressiveness. In other words, after you're done eating your dinner.
01:59:24
Speaker 3: Let's say you say you want a little bit more or whatever, and you go, oh, are you still hungry? Right. Type thing. Are you going to cry a little, baby? Yeah, you're going to cry a little bit, right? Or insist a handful of nuts is just as satisfying as the bag of chips you're craving. And it says, there wasn't much sugarcoating, even when the subject was her appearance. If she reached for a candy bar, she recalls that he'd bluntly tell her to put it down or, quote, don't get too big. Like, that's how they would parent.
01:59:55
Speaker 2: Yeah.
01:59:56
Speaker 3: And that would be the almond mom. The almond dads are way different. And I'm trying to figure out if I had an almond. I definitely did not have an almond dad, but I think I had an almond mom a little bit. Almond dad, the almond mom has become a familiar archetype. The female guardian whose preoccupation with healthy eating and thinness spills over into how she raises her kids. In other words, she may count calories, reserve compliments. only when her child loses weight or chooses a health conscious food choice. And it says, but those attitudes aren't exclusive to women. Men can reinforce them as well. They tend to communicate diet culture beliefs differently. But the almond dad is somebody who says, it says, of course, not every dad who comments on size or fitness is an almond dad. It says parents are overwhelmingly intending good for their child. And an almond dad would say something like, let me see here, would be like, would just basically say, you did a good job. In other words, great job. You did a good job being supportive and not being like
passive aggressive. It said good intentions don't necessarily spare the child from the consequences. This is kind of a wild story. This is when I read the first part of this today. It didn't go into this stuff earlier. Yeah, basically what it says is just how your parents parented you is did they use passive aggressiveness or did they not? That's basically the story. And my parents did not do that. My parents were very blunt and forward when it came to their lessons. They didn't toy around with words or play with theories or you know anything like that they were just basically straight up you did this or did.
02:01:42
Speaker 6: Not do this you think for the amount that i use and am a passive-aggressive person that i would have learned it from them but no it didn't really come from my parents.
02:01:51
Speaker 2: Where did it come from his sisters that oh.
02:01:53
Speaker 3: Yeah or my friend groups and stuff yeah yeah yeah probably your sisters though right okay yeah let's blame them i don't care i'm asking though i mean It's kind of interesting. Well, you and Deb kind of picked that up. Yeah, but I mean, it has to have some impact, right? I mean, you grew up only around girls. It has to have some impact. Right. I mean, I'm not saying it's bad. But it doesn't mean they're passive aggressive.
02:02:16
Speaker 2: They'd just be straight up aggressive.
02:02:21
Speaker 3: The dad, the almond dad would say, hey, look, if you're enjoying your birthday cake, that's probably not the time to tell your child they're gaining weight. No. Yeah, yeah. Kind of wild. In the department of duh. So what's the almond aspect to this? I tell you, I can't figure it out. I think that's just a term they gave to it. It says moving away from moralizing labels like good or bad.
02:02:46
Speaker 5: Yep.
02:02:47
Speaker 3: And they want it to be something that's a little bit more palatable for kids as they talk about it, I guess.
02:02:53
Speaker 2: And just a little bit more supportive because kids aren't dumb. They hear what you're not saying between the lines.
02:03:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It says culture plays a big role in this as well, which is, I guess, just kind of how you grew up. Yeah, that's wild.
02:03:10
Speaker 2: I can tell you right up, straight up, like Latino household. They will take that one part of you that you feel the worst about and it will become your nickname.
02:03:20
Speaker 11: Oh, yeah.
02:03:20
Speaker 2: That will stay for the rest of your life. So if you're a bit thick.
02:03:24
Speaker 12: Oh, man.
02:03:25
Speaker 2: Your nickname might be Flaco.
02:03:26
Speaker 3: Yeah.
02:03:27
Speaker 2: Which means skinny.
02:03:27
Speaker 3: Yeah.
02:03:28
Speaker 2: Because you're not.
02:03:29
Speaker 3: So I know a family who has two boys and a daughter and the two brothers used to call the sister Big Daddy. And to be honest with you, she's not that big. They just called her Big Daddy.
02:03:45
Speaker 5: Yeah.
02:03:46
Speaker 3: And every time, like, you know, I encounter, I hear about that. It just makes me, I'm like, God, dog, that's kind of terrible. But if you're a kid and you're picking on your sister, you know.
02:03:55
Speaker 2: No, I mean, that's cultural.
02:03:57
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:03:58
Speaker 2: You get off the plane and, oh, you got so fat and old.
02:04:00
Speaker 5: Exactly.
02:04:01
Speaker 3: Those are the first.
02:04:02
Speaker 2: Words they'll say to you.
02:04:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's weird.
02:04:04
Speaker 2: There's no filter.
02:04:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:04:06
Speaker 2: No filter whatsoever.
02:04:07
Speaker 3: And the other thing I wanted to end the show up with today is have you guys noticed what influencers are pushing right now for drink? Like, you know, for the longest time, influencers were pushing like, yeah, protein drinks or any of the energy drinks or whatever. something that's making a big comeback. And by the way, it went through this already once. You and I and Deb experienced a massive push for this back in the day when we were like teenagers. Massive push. Massive Hollywood-level onslaught advertising campaign that lasted for 10 years. As a matter of fact, it was a joke. It was like the punchline for jokes for years. milk is back.
02:04:48
Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
02:04:49
Speaker 5: Yeah.
02:04:49
Speaker 3: So influencers are tight. They're selling milk now. And there's a young girl. She's like, maybe she, I think she's 20 or whatever. She's like 14 million use, you know, uh, followers and she's like drinking milk. And then I'm like, I'm like, I read the story day and I'm kind of going through my social today. And one of the guys I'm paying attention to now is this guy named Niall. And he does these videos where he reacts to stuff, but he never says any words and he uses other videos and just kind of superimposes himself or AIs himself into the video, reacting to what the video is, you know, and he's always drinking a glass of milk. Smart man. And I've never understood. Like, I never got it until today. I guess that's a thing now where kids are like drinking milk again. Whole milk is back. Are they being paid to do this? Yeah, I think they are. But I mean, because you remember the got milk thing, right? Oh, yeah. A milk mustache.
02:05:38
Speaker 5: Yeah.
02:05:39
Speaker 3: They hearkened it back to that. Like, this is the new thing. This is the digital version of the got milk program.
02:05:44
Speaker 8: Yeah.
02:05:45
Speaker 3: I love milk. Man, there's nothing in the world like a cold glass of milk. If those cookies that you had today that you brought in from your mom, if you just gave me that Tupperware, the first thing I would do when I walked into my house tonight is I would take my half gallon of whole milk and I would put it in the freezer.
02:05:58
Speaker 2: Well, just take that cookie with you home and you can do that.
02:06:00
Speaker 3: There's no cookie over here. I don't eat cookies. I'm
losing weight.
02:06:04
Speaker 8: Sure.
02:06:07
Speaker 3: Those cookies would be great with almond milk. How many did you have today, Jack?
02:06:11
Speaker 5: Two.
02:06:11
Speaker 3: You had two of the cookies? I did. Gave one to Jaden. Me too. You gave one to Jaden? No, I just have the two of them. Well, that was before the show. What about after the show started?
02:06:21
Speaker 15: Three.
02:06:23
Speaker 2: How about as the show's getting ready to close?
02:06:25
Speaker 3: That's going to be sick right there. How many did you bring in today?
02:06:29
Speaker 2: He only had four.
02:06:30
Speaker 3: Not enough. Not enough. I yelled at her. I yelled at me. I looked at her and I said, what are you doing? She was like taking a back up. She's like, what do you mean? I'm like, why would you only bring like eight cookies in? Do you see me? Do you see Jack?
02:06:45
Speaker 2: We have problems.
02:06:47
Speaker 3: Why don't you call the engineer over? He took a handful of them.
02:06:50
Speaker 2: Because he's the one who asks all the time if my mom has been baking. And he only took two.
02:06:56
Speaker 3: That's fine if you bring in like 20 of them. You call engineering, call Jaden, call all your friends. But when you bring eight in, call no one. You look to your right and you say, would you like another? Have a root.
02:07:08
Speaker 4: I know.
02:07:09
Speaker 3: It's terrible.
02:07:10
Speaker 6: Can you believe she did that? I saw Frank from across the room. I just held up a cookie. He hung up his call to come. When he walked in the room, Deb said, I guess Jack told you I have cookies. He said, no, I just smelled them through the walls.
02:07:25
Speaker 3: All right.
02:07:25
Speaker 5: 407-916-1041.

Speaker 19: The almond mom thing comes from Bella Hadid in Real Housewives from Beverly Hills where she tells her kids, you don't need to be fat.
02:07:46
Speaker 8: You can just suck on an almond.
02:07:48
Speaker 3: Here, use this.
02:07:49
Speaker 8: And then that's where it comes from. You guys have a good show.
02:07:52
Speaker 5: Thanks.
02:07:53
Speaker 3: Thanks, buddy. I appreciate it. Yeah, the almond thing is, Jack, I just figured out. I don't know how I didn't figure this out before. Almond dad is like, hey, eat the almonds instead of the chips. In other words, eat healthy and almond moms will eat healthy. Yeah, shut up and let me have the chips. Yeah, exactly. Just give me the sour cream and onion and move away, please. All right, your 6 o'clock keyword is money, M-O-N-E-Y. Go to realradio.fm and send that off for your chance at $ 1, 000. I'm Jim.

Speaker 3: Jack is here as well. Yep, let's do It's Only Money.
02:08:22
Speaker 1: Helping people passionate about planning for their future rise above investment myths to build real wealth. Isn't that really just common sense financial advice?
02:08:34
Speaker 3: It's both. Okay.
02:08:39
Speaker 1: It's Only Money with Scott Brown from Edgewater Family Wealth.
02:08:43
Speaker 3: Good laugh for Scott Brown, guys.
02:08:44
Speaker 8: There he is.
02:08:47
Speaker 3: Looking fresh, looking good. Howdy doody.
02:08:51
Speaker 16: I got two food things for you.
02:08:52
Speaker 3: All right, good.
02:08:53
Speaker 16: First of all, my guilty pleasure, I'm just going to go ahead and announce this to Central Florida, the Filet-O-Fish.
02:08:59
Speaker 3: Is it really? Oh, I love that with a slice of cheese and extra tartar sauce. I love me a Filet-O-Fish. Never had one.
02:09:05
Speaker 5: What? Ever.
02:09:06
Speaker 6: My grandfather used to always... It was the only thing he got from McDonald's, and I've never had one.
02:09:11
Speaker 3: A little tartar sauce?
02:09:12
Speaker 5: Oh, no, no, no, no.
02:09:13
Speaker 3: My uncle loved them, God rest his soul. I have to tell you, if I saw you eating a filet of fish, I would run across the room and slap it out of your hand, because I would have thought you were abducted. There's no way in a billion years a guy who eats turkey sausage and 100 eggs for breakfast every morning... I didn't say it every day. I just said it's a guilty pleasure every once in a while. Wow, really?
02:09:35
Speaker 16: Yeah.
02:09:36
Speaker 12: How did you.
02:09:36
Speaker 3: How did you even discover the flay of fish?
02:09:39
Speaker 16: When I was a kid, I don't know. Maybe it was– is it cheaper than the other stuff? I don't know because my mom was a cheapskate when she went to McDonald's. So maybe it was the cheaper option.
02:09:48
Speaker 2: So it wasn't the Lent thing?
02:09:49
Speaker 1: No, no.
02:09:50
Speaker 3: Please. No conviction there. Zero conviction there. And the other one is milk.
02:09:58
Speaker 16: So we're the only mammals that drink another mammal's– like that milk is designed to raise a calf– 300 pounds. We're all just drinking it like it's water. You're not a milk guy. No, I'm lactose intolerant, so you don't want to be around me if I drink milk. I promise you that.
02:10:15
Speaker 2: My husband is lactose intolerant. Every once in a while, you've got to breathe through the blanket.
02:10:20
Speaker 3: You do.
02:10:20
Speaker 16: Sometimes I get the ice cream, and my wife's like, oh, boy.
02:10:25
Speaker 3: That's a guest room scenario. That is a guest room scenario. Sometimes it's worth it, though.
02:10:32
Speaker 2: Right up there with your 15-bean soup.
02:10:35
Speaker 3: That's a 15-beat salute. I don't know how we got on this. Scott Brown joins us from Edgewater Family Wealth. That's edgewaterfamilywealth.com. Fiduciary here in Orlando for almost 40 years, making sure that your money lasts as long as you do. And he does this all the time. We have a couple
of events. Actually, we have an event coming up here pretty soon. And these are very, very, very, very, very popular. Yeah, lots of Aries. They're full up. Unfortunately, the one coming up Saturday is full up. It's already full? Yeah, it's full.
02:11:01
Speaker 16: So we will, as far as I know, it's full. I think that's what the guys told me this morning. You can still get on the wait list. So go to edgewaterfamilywealth.com, hit the drop down, and you can get on the wait list. And sometimes we do, because we call and confirm, and sometimes somebody will go, oh, yeah, I just remembered I got Jimmy's birthday party or something.
02:11:17
Speaker 3: Right, right, right, yeah.
02:11:18
Speaker 16: If that happens, we can certainly give you a shout, and we will give you a shout. So if you want to go get on the waiting list, and it's the last event for the year.
02:11:25
Speaker 10: Yeah.
02:11:25
Speaker 3: Because we have client events coming up.
02:11:26
Speaker 16: We have our holiday parties and all that sort of thing and our State of the Union address coming up in January. So we'll pick it back up probably in February. But the events have been great this year. We've probably seen 500 people in those events this year.
02:11:39
Speaker 3: Did we do more this year than we've ever done before? I've got a feeling that when we first started working together, you only did like maybe two or three a year. I feel like we've done like four or five this year. I think that's right.
02:11:48
Speaker 16: I think so because the guys told me we're around 400 or 500 people have come through the event, which is so cool because, I mean, again, a lot of those people will not become our clients just because they're– for a variety of reasons. Maybe they're already with somebody. Maybe they just don't think they need an advisor, but they got a lot of good information. I mean some of them do, and that's obviously one of the reasons we do it. We like to meet people and find people that will make good.
02:12:10
Speaker 3: Clients for us.
02:12:11
Speaker 16: But the reality is most of those people will not become clients, and they get a lot from them. We always get a lot of thank yous. And oftentimes, a year later, somebody will call, hey, remember that thing you said?
02:12:21
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:12:21
Speaker 3: Can you refresh me? And we're happy to do it. So it's a cool thing. Also, the website's important, too, because that's where the Wealth DNA test is, and it's a really fun test that Scott and a buddy did. came up with. They designed the test themselves. It kind of gives you an idea of your financial personality, which can be completely different from your regular personality. Let's hope so in some cases. It really could. I mean, you could be a raging maniac that's great with money. Who knows?
02:12:42
Speaker 13: Yeah.
02:12:43
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think it's surprising to people how accurate they are. I know everybody here that took it said the same
thing, like, whoa, that– Nailed me pretty good. Myself, I even took it. I'm what's called a wealth commander, which sounds kind of cool. It means really I'm just kind of a pain in the ass with money. But yeah, no, the wealth DNA is a really good test. And you and I have talked about this a lot is that I think it's a really neat thing to do with your significant other. Because again, there's probably things that you say to your spouse or your spouse says to you that you're like, yeah, I don't do that. And then you take the test, and they're kind of like, yeah, I told you.
02:13:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:13:16
Speaker 16: So, yeah, there's a lot of things that if we go through a bad– the market's been moving sideways for the last few months. And sometimes people get really impatient. They get frustrated. They make decisions that aren't good. And I think the Wealth DNA test, if you take it, it will help you avoid some of those easy mistakes.
02:13:32
Speaker 3: And we had talked about this before that– Warren Buffett said, the most important decision you'll make financially is your spouse. So that when you have that person in your family, if you guys have different ways of looking at finances, it can be detrimental to your overall household financial situation. So it's kind of important to understand how your spouse thinks and how your spouse knows you think when it comes to talking about your long-term financial outlook.
02:13:57
Speaker 16: And it's also a conversation starter because you'd be shocked how many people come into my office, married 20, 25 years.
02:14:04
Speaker 3: They've never even really... talked about money in any depth.
02:14:08
Speaker 2: Yeah.
02:14:08
Speaker 16: They've, Hey, do we have money to pay the electric bill? Hey, do we have money for this? Hey, what are you doing with your, you know, they haven't really sat down and said, okay, well, you know, I've got $ 48, 322 in my 401k and I save a hundred dollars a month and you've got $ 73, 520 in your 401k.
02:14:19
Speaker 3: And Oh, by the way, the house is this much equity. No, no.
02:14:20
Speaker 16: But a lot of people, I would say, 50% of the people that walk into my office that have been married for 25 years have been side by side for that entire time, have not had.
02:14:37
Speaker 3: In-depth financial conversations. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, 100%. Some people just don't care for it. My wife, I try to talk to my wife about our long-term outlook because I'm closer than she is. She's younger than me, and she just doesn't want to engage with it, doesn't really want to think about it. It's just really complicated, and it's something that she doesn't think she needs to learn about right now. And I kind of understand that because it can be complicated and overwhelming sometimes. But it is something that you have to pay attention to.
02:14:59
Speaker 16: But, you know, it's more overwhelming if something happens to your significant other and then you have to– it's forced down your throat in about two weeks.
02:15:05
Speaker 3: 100%, yeah.
02:15:06
Speaker 16: So I think the wealth DNA test is good for a lot of reasons. It helps you kind of understand and respect your own idiosyncrasies when it comes to money or your spouse's. But the other thing is it's a great conversation starter. And it also, again, for the non-financial spouse, and every house sort of has this situation where somebody is more the money person, someone's not. And they broke up the responsibilities. Maybe somebody was raising kids or somebody was working or whatever the reasons are. There's always good reasons for it. But this gets the conversation started because I can tell you when you reach your 60s or your 70s or your 80s and you lose the financial partner, that is a gigantic mess waiting to happen because you're vulnerable. People will try to take advantage of you. You're already grief-stricken. So, again, the Wealth DNA is a good way to get that stuff.
02:15:50
Speaker 3: By the way, I know it's a little far removed from that, but we're now starting to see that with Dolly Parton's estate. Yeah. More sketchy stuff. And today, Paris Jackson, Michael Jackson's daughter, said that she'd been waiting on her money for 17 years. They haven't dispersed his estate money yet.
02:16:07
Speaker 5: Yeah.
02:16:07
Speaker 3: That's another thing.
02:16:08
Speaker 10: Probate.
02:16:09
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
02:16:09
Speaker 3: All of that stuff. I mean, but all that comes into play.
02:16:11
Speaker 16: And you can, again, the wealth DNA obviously isn't going to create a trust for you or a will, but it will, again, it will start a conversation. And I would say that, you know, I think the average probate in this country, meaning people whose estates go into the courts because they didn't do the work on the front end, is like four or five years.
02:16:28
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable.
02:16:29
Speaker 16: So you don't want to, I certainly don't want it. I don't think most people want to put their children through that. Yeah, they're waiting on $ 600 million.
02:16:34
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, it's a mess. What are you waiting on?
02:16:37
Speaker 16: $ 60, 000 or $ 600.
02:16:38
Speaker 3: Million, right? Either way. It's all relative. I don't know who got the monkey. Let's get into these topics because I texted you this morning or yesterday. Was it yesterday or was it this morning? It was this morning. It's like 6.15. I'm sorry for that, by the way. That's all right. I was up. We're old men. We get up whether we like it or not. I was wondering, I was like, I wonder how people or how the midterms affect the way that people look at investing or how do the midterms, because tomorrow is going to be a different day. We're going to learn a bunch of stuff. about how our government's going to change. We know for a fact that the Democrats are going to take the House. That's kind of an understood scenario. There's a very good chance the Democrats will take
the Senate as well, which means now you have a president's a Republican, his cabinet is Republican, and then you have a Democrat Congress. I don't know what that means financially.
02:17:24
Speaker 16: Well, I would, first and foremost, I think people put a lot of stock in politics and the outcomes to their personal finances. And I would say, well, there's It's okay to think that a little bit. It is largely still dependent upon your behavior rather than who's in public.
02:17:41
Speaker 3: Right, right, right.
02:17:41
Speaker 16: Because turning the American economy is like turning an aircraft carrier. You need 50 miles to turn one of those things around. It's the same is true of the economy. It's not going to turn on a dime. I don't care who the president is, right? So I did a little research, and if you look back all the way even to Eisenhower years and you look at the last five midterm elections where the worm has turned, so to speak, where you have a Republican president or a Democratic president and the opposite party controls both houses– What you see is largely– it's the same.
02:18:10
Speaker 5: Is it really?
02:18:10
Speaker 3: It's kind of okay.
02:18:12
Speaker 16: The average rate of return in the S & P 500 during Eisenhower, during I think the Obama years, when he lost the House and the Senate, and when Clinton lost the House and Senate, when Reagan lost Bush, that's a whole other.
02:18:26
Speaker 3: Story because that came on the Great Recession.
02:18:27
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
02:18:28
Speaker 16: But the rest of them, aside from Bush, which is an anomaly for reasons we can get into, is when you look at all of the other presidents that I just mentioned and they lost control of both houses– The average rate of the S & P 500 was still about 6%.
02:18:40
Speaker 3: Was it really?
02:18:41
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
02:18:42
Speaker 3: So it wasn't nuts.
02:18:42
Speaker 16: I mean, 2008, obviously, 2007 when Bush lost both houses, then things became a bit of a mess from there because of it. But that was really a banking crisis. It's really not on him or the Democrats that took control. So my point is we always put a lot of stock in these elections. I mean, presidential elections are always– Clients are always asking, well, if so-and-so gets elected, that's the end of that. It's never the end of that. That's in my experience in 40 years in multiple elections. They're always wrong about that. So if you look at Democrats and Republican administrations.
02:19:12
Speaker 3: If you will, you see statistically it is neck and neck.
02:19:17
Speaker 16: The rate of return for a Democratic administration or a Republican– I know that's not what we're talking about today– but a Republican administration is essentially– within 100 basis points or 1%.
02:19:28
Speaker 3: The one thing I did read is, though, usually after the midterms, there is usually a 1% or 2% bump to the market. Is that accurate from what you've seen? Well, I mean, we.
02:19:37
Speaker 16: I don't know that it happens immediately. There have been some bumps in a couple of these administrations I mentioned. But I would say, again, that's largely dependent on things that happen within the politics, right, the body politic, whether it's interest rates, what the Fed does with– who's in the Fed?
02:19:52
Speaker 3: Who's running the Fed? Right, yeah. Right?
02:19:55
Speaker 16: What does unemployment look like? What is the situation in Iran going to be? These are– These are the events that eventually drive economic behavior. But but that's all down the road. There's nothing that's going to happen tomorrow. I mean, the market may react. The market may not like if the Democrats take both houses, to be fair.
02:20:11
Speaker 3: Tariff repeals. There may be.
02:20:13
Speaker 16: Then there'll be judicial hearings. There'll be all kinds of nonsense going on.
02:20:18
Speaker 3: That's.
02:20:19
Speaker 16: It's kind of going on now, but it's just going to be a different flavor.
02:20:23
Speaker 3: I think one of the reasons I asked you that is because I wanted you to kind of tell everybody that they don't need to freak out because if they think something dire is going to happen, and we haven't had a president like this before, except for the first time he was in office. We haven't had anybody like this. We've not had a personality like this run the country before. He ain't going to change. You count on that. He's definitely not. But what you worry about is the vindication aspect of his administration against a president Democratic Congress if that's what happens. Or vice versa. Or vice versa, and you don't know how that will affect. I just didn't want people to get really scared and make a dire move because they thought on November 5th things were going to be massively different. Well, here's what I can tell you. It never works.
02:21:00
Speaker 16: I mean, you can go back. I've been doing this 40 years. My first vote was for Reagan. I was a gung-ho young man. I wanted to be like a businessman, and I thought, oh, you've got to vote for the Republican. I vote for Ronald Reagan. I was gung-ho about it. And I can tell you from that day to this day, We've had Democrats and Republicans and people have been telling me from both sides of the aisle that if the other guy gets elected, it's all over.
02:21:22
Speaker 3: It's all going to fall apart. Democracy, capitalism, it's all out the window.
02:21:26
Speaker 16: And they're never, ever, not once, oh, for forever, incorrect about that assumption. And when they make aggressive moves in their portfolios thinking they're correct is when they really get screwed up.
02:21:38
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:21:39
Speaker 3: Talking to Scott Brown here from Edgewater Family Wealth. This is It's Only Money. Scott comes in and talks a little bit about how you can make your financial life a little bit better. Second question here is, what do you, that would be each of us, think when you hear
the word or the term financial advisor? Jack's sleeping. Jack, what do you think? When you hear the term financial advisor, what's the first thing that pops into your mind?
02:21:57
Speaker 6: Someone that's going to give me good advice, make sure my money is in the right place, working for me.
02:22:03
Speaker 3: I met prior to when you met me. Actually, I did.
02:22:07
Speaker 6: I have a sister who's done this, and I've had experience with it throughout my life. So I'm not new to the process itself. So it's something I was comfortable with. We were talking about your– Your seminars, it's one I would like to go to again, actually.
02:22:22
Speaker 3: You keep picking Saturdays. I'm busy.
02:22:24
Speaker 6: But, you know, beyond the free meal, that information is just sometimes you want to hear it over and over again to learn it and remember it.
02:22:33
Speaker 3: But I'm a fan. What do you think, Debra? When you hear financial advisor, what do you think?
02:22:37
Speaker 2: I think of someone with your wallet. with his wallet no your wallet or you know that you'd have to actually have okay yeah accumulated something.
02:22:49
Speaker 6: Someone with more than me exactly exactly someone with more than me someone who's over you know who.
02:22:57
Speaker 3: That's for somebody else that's for people.
02:22:59
Speaker 2: More who've planned better who are in a better spot who actually have the finances worth talking about with.
02:23:08
Speaker 3: And by the way, that attitude is reflected quite a bit on the texting service. Interesting.
02:23:12
Speaker 16: It's a chicken or the egg kind of thing though, right? Are they with advisors because they're wealthy or are they wealthy because they're with advisors, right?
02:23:19
Speaker 2: See, from my way of looking, also what you see a lot on the texting service is, man, I'm screwed. I didn't plan early enough and why bother?
02:23:31
Speaker 6: And that's why I think the seminars are so great because it breaks it down and makes it less– You know, like intimidating, intimidating that it's for someone else.
02:23:39
Speaker 3: And it's like, oh, yeah, I don't have to solve everything now, but I can.
02:23:43
Speaker 10: Right.
02:23:43
Speaker 6: Just kind of like you say, turning the the the aircraft carrier around is just, you know, I can make a couple of adjustments here and just put myself in a little better position.
02:23:53
Speaker 2: I don't have to be, you know, a million dollars rich. I think of financial advisors like I think of attorneys and doctors. You don't feel like you're smart enough. in a lot of ways to question. Have you met me?
02:24:06
Speaker 3: He's achievable.
02:24:07
Speaker 2: Because of the level of experience and whatever.
02:24:09
Speaker 3: The bar's very low there.
02:24:11
Speaker 6: If you didn't know now, the filet of fish definitely brought him back down to earth.
02:24:15
Speaker 3: I kind of like that. I read those as well, and I kind of liken that to dieting.
If your entire life you've weighed 300 pounds, and then you're like, I don't want to weigh 300 pounds anymore, you know for a fact you're not going to lose it in a week. You have to condition yourself mentally to, to understand that to get from 300 pounds to 150 pounds is going to take a year or two years of consistent, persistent exercise and diet, discipline and things like that. That's how I kind of view that. But when it comes to financial advisors, I used to think, before I met you, actually, and you have actually changed my entire outlook on what this entire industry is like. I thought slick, Wall Street people, Good suits, fast talking. Yeah, I'll make you a few dollars, but in the turn, I'm going to make me a lot of dollars off your money. You have really kind of opened the door to let me know that there are people out there who really do want to help people out with their money and make it last for them. Well, I think, yeah.
02:25:14
Speaker 16: And it's funny, Debra. I think that's very eye-opening. And I guess I have often underestimated that. You know, people... come in and they're a little sheepish. They've got 30 grand or 50 grand saved. And I always, it's always confusing to me. Like I didn't start out, you know, I had no money too.
02:25:31
Speaker 3: I know how that works.
02:25:32
Speaker 8: Yeah.
02:25:33
Speaker 3: We're betrayers.
02:25:33
Speaker 5: Yeah.
02:25:34
Speaker 3: Basically. Yes.
02:25:35
Speaker 16: And I think that that's an interesting thing that people need to get past is, and where I was going with all this is everybody's got a different perception. You know, Jack's had some experience that were positive. So he had a certain feeling. You kind of saw it from afar. Like, I don't know if this is for me.
02:25:49
Speaker 2: I'm not worthy yet.
02:25:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
02:25:51
Speaker 2: It's like going to the gym, but I have to work out before I get to the gym.
02:25:54
Speaker 3: Right, right.
02:25:55
Speaker 16: Or you start– before you go to the doctor, you eat really well for the week before.
02:25:59
Speaker 2: You floss and brush before you go to the dentist.
02:26:01
Speaker 3: Or you hire a cleaner, but before the cleaner gets there, you clean the house because you don't want to be embarrassed. Absolutely.
02:26:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's– I am that person.
02:26:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting.
02:26:08
Speaker 16: And then gyms, the slick back thing, I've heard a lot. People think everybody's a wolf.
02:26:12
Speaker 2: Wolf of Wall Street.
02:26:13
Speaker 16: And the reality is there's a handful of those yo-yos in the business, and they give everybody a bad name because of the way they act, and they're really generally not professionals at what they do. And my point is that it doesn't matter. A lot of people say, well, I want to use a guy from this firm or a gal from that firm or whatever. The firm doesn't matter, and it doesn't matter what they necessarily call themselves. Some people are in the insurance industry. Some people are in the securities industry. Some people are in the will and trust industry. The bottom line is, is the person well-intended? Are they listening to you? Are they bringing value to your life, right? If you're walking in and they're like, hey, I know everything. Just do this and it will magically work out for you. I don't even need to hear from you. They've got a solution for a question you haven't asked yet. That's not the person to be with. But I think, Deb, that's really illuminating. And I think people should understand that a lot of the people that have wealth in this country– not a lot. Most did it systematically and with professional advice, and it didn't happen overnight. And I have clients that I literally started with $ 100 a month 40 years ago that have a couple $ 3 million right now.
02:27:22
Speaker 3: So to me, that's the most exciting thing.
02:27:24
Speaker 16: I often say, if somebody walks into my office with $ 10 million, I'm happy to see them. I can do some good things for them, but I'm not going to change their life. If a person walks in to a 401k meeting and they haven't started saving yet, and I talk them into saving, I can change their life. So I think all these point of views are valid, but people need to understand that we're very accessible and very easy to work.
02:27:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, 100%. And everybody, I mean, everybody who has contacted us that said they've actually done business with you say that very thing. It's just the easiest decision once you get in there and start talking is and realize you're just kind of regular people that happen to be in the financial world, that's a good thing.
02:27:59
Speaker 2: It was just hearing, like, Jack, you know, talk about his experience when he went to that weekend seminar. It was, I would say, life-changing.
02:28:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. How about that? He still doesn't clap for me. I yell sometimes. Edgewater Family Wealth, that's edgewaterfamilywealth.com. Go there to take the Wealth DNA test. You can also get on the waiting list for the event coming up this Saturday. If you didn't make it in, there may be a shot. They do have dropouts frequently. If you're on that list, you can still slide in there. But if not, I mean, next February, we'll fire them up again and have more opportunities for you to meet the crew.
02:28:33
Speaker 16: Yeah, and in the meantime, if you need a consult, you need some questions answered, go to EdgewaterFamilyWealth.com and we'll do a consult with you.
02:28:38
Speaker 3: Absolutely. Deb, what do you got for you to hear first?

Speaker 2: Donald's and Jolly cast their ballots. Critical plane parts found miles from the crash site. And nothing to see here but robots climb a mountain.
02:28:52
Speaker 3: My nightmares.
02:28:53
Speaker 2: But we're going to talk about that next during You Heard It Here First.
02:28:56
Speaker 3: All right, single break. Come back in a second with Debs
News and get the hell out of here on a Tuesday.
02:29:00

02:29:07
Speaker 3: We're not against flock. We're not against flockers. But we are against that gov. Gov.
02:29:14
Speaker 5: Gov.
02:29:15
Speaker 2: Boom, boom.
02:29:17
Speaker 8: Boom, boom, boom, boom.
02:29:20
Speaker 2: Don't think about it.
02:29:20
Speaker 3: Get up off your butt and vote. Get up off your butt and vote. Yeah, buddy, you voluntarily come in here. Don't look at me like that. You guys can.
02:29:32
Speaker 8: Hear that too, right?
02:29:33
Speaker 14: I may be fat and stupid, but I got a fat ass wallet and a real hot girlfriend.
02:29:39
Speaker 8: So it ain't so bad.
02:29:40
Speaker 10: Hey, you guys have a great show.
02:29:42
Speaker 8: Thanks, buddy.
02:29:42
Speaker 3: Appreciate that.
02:29:44
Speaker 8: Yeah, Angel Saul. Jimmy's text and said, ho, ho, ho, angel giant. Okay.
02:29:52
Speaker 5: Yeah.
02:29:53
Speaker 8: You're on a roll today, bud.
02:29:55
Speaker 19: You're sitting there talking about how much, you know, AI is changing everything and you despise it, et cetera. And then we're talking about ketchup refrigeration and you. quote, an AI answer about you don't need to refrigerate it. Even though it says on the label refrigerate.
02:30:14
Speaker 3: It wasn't an AI answer.
02:30:15
Speaker 8: I'm with Deb. Team Deb.
02:30:17
Speaker 2: Yay!
02:30:17
Speaker 3: It was a Google search. Get him! Get him!
02:30:20
Speaker 2: No one gets to ding Deb.
02:30:21
Speaker 3: I'm married. By the way, the best stuff that's said on this station is never actually said.
02:30:29
Speaker 10: Back in 1981. I went to my prom dinner with a super hot cheerleader. I went to Coral Games Florida, this really fine, fine restaurant, and ordered a steak. The steak came. I asked the waiter for ketchup. The chef came out, picked up my plate, and told me to get out of his restaurant.
02:30:51
Speaker 3: No, he didn't. He said that happened to him. Yeah, I don't believe it. All right. He's calling you a liar. Welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show. We're already at 104.1. I'm Jim, Deb Jack, and Scott Brown here with us. It's only money. That's EdgewaterFamilyWealth.com. Go there and get a consultation or just call and bug him. Yeah. I'll talk to you. I'm kind of bored. I got nothing going. It's the holidays. What do I have to do? Yeah, we're good. By the way, how's Bratch? How's everything going with the baby? The baby, my granddaughter came over today. She's quite awesome. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can get rid of him, but the baby's fine.
02:31:24
Speaker 5: Yeah, same.
02:31:24
Speaker 3: Same. I was like, just give me the baby, and you go somewhere. I don't care about him anymore. And the minute you hear her crying, you come on out. Yeah, exactly. That's what we need. All right, Dad, let's do You Heard It Here first.
02:31:35
Speaker 1: It's time for You Heard It Here First on The Jim Colbert Show.
02:31:40
Speaker 2: Florida's two major candidates for governor are making their Election Day appearances today. Republican Byron Donalds voted with his family at a polling location in Collier County. He's watching the results tonight at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood. Democrat David Jolly cast his ballot in Largo and will hold his election night watch party at the Tampa Convention Center tomorrow. Polls across Florida close at 7 p.m., and with just minutes remaining for the polls to be open, you guys, Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties, and this is just a few, have all surpassed 50% turnout in this year's general election.
02:32:15
Speaker 3: Good to hear. That's unbelievable. That's great. That is.
02:32:18
Speaker 2: National Transportation Safety Board investigators are learning more about the moments leading up to the deadly Learjet 60 crash after critical pieces of the plane were found miles away from the crash site. According to officials, the debris was found between 1.3 and 3.8 miles away.
02:32:37
Speaker 3: So that's probably what they mean by breaking up. Remember, because they said they thought the plane was broken up. But when you look at the still photo, it didn't look like it was broken up at all.
02:32:44
Speaker 2: But it included parts needed to control the aircraft's elevation while flying. The NTSB says the location of those pieces indicates the plane was indeed damaged well before it hit the ground. And finally, dozens of robots competed in a race to climb Mount Tai, one of China's most famous peaks. The competitors carried eggs and watermelons for over 2.4 miles in a race that was billed as a test of real-world machine endurance. Organizers say the, quote, natural extreme testing ground, end quote, could help train robots for real world use. Winners received cash prizes in several categories, including the fastest robots and the best load carrying four legged machine either way. The stuff of nightmares.
02:33:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got to tell you, real world use is a weird way to say war. Yeah, it is. It's a weird way to say robot war, but that's exactly what it is. Combine that with AI. Perfect. No problems.
02:33:42
Speaker 2: And you heard it here first on the Jim Colbert Show. I don't know what you guys are.
02:33:45
Speaker 3: Doing tonight, but I'm digging a tunnel. All right, who do we have? We're two typically used to go to China.
02:33:51
Speaker 2: Right, exactly. Do I decorate for Christmas or prepare for World War III?
02:33:56
Speaker 3: Who do we have to thank today?

02:34:28
Speaker 6: In our YouTube chat, we posed the question, have you ever had or have you had a McRib this year?
02:34:36
Speaker 3: No. 28% say yes.
02:34:38
Speaker 5: 15.
02:34:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, four. Oh, God. That does not pose.
02:34:43
Speaker 5: No, no.
02:34:43
Speaker 3: It just went up. It went up to five. Oh, there you go. Scott just voted. Yeah.
02:34:49
Speaker 5: Fish.
02:34:50
Speaker 3: Edgewaterfamilywealth.com. This is a full event coming up this weekend, but don't let that stop you from getting on the waiting list. People drop out frequently, and maybe you can sneak in there for a great lunch and some information that could change your life. Love to have you. And if you ever want to just have that conversation, if you're at that point in your life where you're like, well, maybe it's time for me to consult somebody. My 401K is getting to that point. I'm 55, 58 years old, thinking about retiring at 64. Give these guys a call. The direction they can give you can change your life. Always good seeing you, buddy. Likewise. On behalf of Deb, Jack, and Scott, I'm Jim. We follow the News Junkie. They follow the Monsters in the Morning. After us, it's Tom and Dan with the Corbett Time and our friends from Real Laughs. We'll see you tomorrow at 3 for more of The Jim Colbert Show. Until then, have yourself a fantastic Tuesday evening.
02:35:31
Speaker 2: See you tomorrow.
02:35:32
Speaker 5: Bye.
02:35:35
Speaker 14: Well, I don't know about that.
