Full Show 3-3-26

Good afternoon, St. Louis DGS, 104-1 FM, K-Emo Wags. Happy Tuesday to you.

So for the first time in a few days, the whole team's back together. We're doing a stream.

You guys can watch us on Facebook or YouTube. YouTube? YouTube. YouTube? With a tube.

I know these guys are thinking there's a conspiracy theory of not having the stream on Friday and yesterday, but was there a problem yesterday, or did you?

Yeah, you weren't here. I didn't know the new way to do it. And I was like, I was like, I was like, I could figure it out, but I was told to not to come in.

Also, none of them wanted to be on camera anyway. Like all of our people who came in, like, Hancock and Brad and stuff, they were like, this isn't on, right?

Brad might be wanted. He's living under a pseudonym. He's like a federal few to ship fugitive from 1982. Yeah, he's really smart, but he might be smart like Leonardo DiCaprio and DiCaprio.

Leonardo DiCaprio. Leonardo DiCaprio.

DiCaprio. Over here. He's like the pretender. He's like, I'm going to become a lawyer and just do radio shows.

He's like Frank Abigail. He's doing checkkiting. He's like, I can't let the state see what I actually look like. All the answers he's given us are just reading Chad GPT. Yeah.

So we have not talked to these guys about the Iranian war. I think we have plenty of time to do that. So we'll get to that in due time.

At 130, going to be a very interesting segment. We have Mark Cantor, my attorney client who went to Israel. He had booked this way in advance. He goes over there and he does charity work and helps out with things and he just happened to go at the same time as we attacked Iran.

So he's just there and he's going to call us and let us know what's going on and what life is like over there.

First things first. Ladies first. How are you? Are you feeling? I'm feeling much better today than it was yesterday. Yeah. I would the main thing that I've experienced.

It is just like extreme fatigue. Like Sunday, I just laid on the couch all day. And then yesterday, I wanted to come into work, but then Dave and Steve were like, oh, we don't want you to get another people six. I'm like, okay.

Thinking I'll have like an easy day at home, but then the fatigue hit really bad again around like noon and I was pretty much, you know, out for that started feeling a little bit better last night, though. And then got a little bit of sleep last night and much less fatigue, much less fatigued. I've got a bit of a cough and like a chest thing, but I'm doing better.

Good. I hope it's not what I had over the holidays because that's how mine started and just just kept going. But the fatigue. Did you take a COVID test?

I did. I was very concerned it was COVID because when I had COVID, that was my number one symptom. It was just feeling really gassed. Yeah. But no, it was negative. So hopefully we're only up enough.

Good. And wheels, your Odyssey. I made it. I do. I feel like Odysseus. I've been gone for, you know, 20 years. So it feels like, do you know, like this is something I was telling Andrew earlier.

I think I spent almost four days at no point ever being comfortable. Yeah. Like physically comfortable. Yeah. Like no, no comfortable chairs or seats. So like, you know, my kids in her 20s, the stuff she has, I'm 54, man.

I like, I need my recliner. I need, you know, I like, you know, the she got a futon that I spent most of my time on sleeping and just sitting. And it's fine for a bit, but like for three straight days on top of sleeping on an air mattress that deflated in the middle of the night and driving 13 and a half hours and flying twice.

And like, I got into my car. And I think that was the first time I went, oh, this feels good. In like four days. Yeah. Four days. And now when I was tired, I was so tired at night. I fell asleep right away, comfortable or not. But, you know, that moment when you're finally like sink into something. Oh, yeah. And you're just like, whoo. Yeah. That's good. Yeah. And then the recliner at home last night. Oh, man. Talk to me about the drive.

The Saturday. Yeah. So for those that happen to miss it, my daughter moved from Wally Durham area to Chicago. And, you know, we read it a you haul. And by the way, tip of the cap to the guys at the you haul place. Nobody's going to care because it's in carrying North Carolina. They were awesome because they ended up having to give me a bigger truck than I had I had reserved because they were running low on the other ones. But they convinced me and they said, listen, you're getting this bigger one. But it's brand new.

It's like less than 5,000 miles. It's got Bluetooth. It's got all this. It's the car you want to drive in on 13 and a half hours. And I'm like, good deal. Let's go. So that part actually went super well, you know, loading it up all that fine. No big deal didn't bring anything didn't break anything on me or on any of the stuff.

But the 13 and a half hour drive, it should have been 12 hours based on what the map told me. But between me wanting to take longer breaks.

Because I don't want to sit for 13 and a half hours after moving the day before and knowing I got to move the next day too.

So I took some longer breaks, but it took 13 and a half, like almost 14 hours.

Because driving through the mountains sucks, dude. In a moving truck driving through the mountains sucks. And the first like 40% of it's all mountains.

Was there a North Carolina, Virginia, Western? It's all mountains.

Was there a point in the mountain? You're like, I'm not getting up this next one.

No, it felt pretty good. It was all right. It's a newer truck too, which is why I was really happy.

Like if it was an old one that's gone, but like I now I get it like the semi drivers.

I did not block traffic like semi drivers tend to do. I made sure that I was always not in anybody's way that was going faster.

But it's just the whole thing like, okay, every curve when it says 55, you need to be going 55.

Yeah, you know, in your car, 75 who cares? I'm fine. But man, you can feel it.

Like you have to pay closer attention when you're driving the bigger one. And that's the thing.

It's like, you're never, you're never relaxed. Yeah.

Because you're, you know, you're not in your car. When you're in your car, you relax, you're cool.

You know how it handles. You know what things expect. When you're in this new thing and it's giant and you're like,

and I don't want to break anything in the back, right? Yeah.

I felt like every bump I hit the whole thing shook and I felt like things were flying around, but it turned out as all right.

So you had to call 911. I did.

I did. So I, in fact, I should have looked. I should have looked to see if anyone got arrested in DeMott, Indiana.

It was like, so coming up on the, the border between Indiana and Illinois, just coming up like real close to that near the very end of my drive.

Where's the bears play? Yeah. Yeah.

Hey, I'm in Indiana. It's not too far from there.

There's this pickup truck in front of me. And I'm just coming up like, I can't gauge this thing because I'm, I'm in this big truck.

I'm going just a little over the speed limit. Like I'm, I'm within five miles of the speed limit the whole time.

And I'm coming up and I'm like, oh, I'm going to pass this guy. So I go to the left to pass this guy.

And all of a sudden, he just guns it. And he's like going 100.

And then a few minutes later, he's back to being at like 50 miles an hour and he's starting to weave all over the place.

He almost ran off the road to the right three or four times. And then almost knocked three other cars off the road that were going to pass him.

And was like putting on his signal and then not changing lanes and then putting on the other signal and there was no lane to his right.

Or his, I don't know if it's a guy or woman, I had no idea. I did not get close enough to get it.

But I'm like, I got to call 911.

So I called them. They sent me to the state troopers. And I was like following behind this guy for miles just like trying to just like, okay, where's he going?

How close can you get? I'm like, well, I'm not getting very close in this truck.

So I'm driving a moving truck like I normally I would be like, I'll get a little close, but I'm not getting close in a thing that doesn't maneuver very well.

But I couldn't get the full plate. I think I had the state down, but I could see the stickers on the back window.

And that's how I was able to identify to them like what, you know, how they could pick out the car.

I don't know if they got to it or not. I need to look, but he pulled off the highway at one point.

And I'd like, you guys, he's pulling off the highway. I'm not going to fall. I shouldn't follow him right and they're like, no, don't bother.

Just go ahead.

I didn't really want to. I'm assuming he was getting off to go there like truck stops there.

I'm assuming you guys getting off to go to the truck stop. So I didn't want to get off and like, I already put on the road for 12 hours.

Dude, I was not like looking to be like, yeah, you know, captain, no, captain, you know, traffic cop.

What if the cops were like, if you have the shot, I'd take the shot. If she had said, could you do that? I would have done it.

Because this person got to kill somebody. Like they damn near almost killed, you know, I don't know how many people that were in those cars.

But at least three cars almost got run off the road. So that was fascinating. Yeah.

That was a little, I get you a little bit of alertness going when you're near the end of a long trip.

Your brain's like, oh, my God, this is not good. This is not good.

And as the people are trying to pass, you're like, how do I signal to them that there's something going on?

Yeah.

How do I signal to them?

Like the point is you can't, like you can't really, right?

Because by the time they're passing you, they're passing that guy.

Yeah.

And I was saying hundreds of yards back. I can't even want to get that close.

I could have put my, I thought about putting my hazards on, but then they'd be looking at me and not that guy.

So they'd be, they'd be reporting you.

Yeah.

Like, hey, there's a moving truck with us.

And a giant red guy in a moving truck.

That's hazards. I don't know what's going on there.

So tell us about the flights.

So everything was fine on Thursday.

You know, like the one after here got there, got on time, got out normal.

Yesterday was like, yesterday was not the end of the world.

I want to be clear about this.

Like it ended up being like a two and a half, almost three hour difference in when I got home,

which is not the end of the world.

But when you're, yeah, after those days, you're just like, oh, come on.

But like the airlines, the United States based airlines are such garbage.

And I don't mean the people that work there because every human being that I came into contact with

and this flight yesterday was united, they were awesome.

The pilots were awesome.

The people, the flight attendants, awesome, the gate attendants, they were awesome.

The gate agent guy was the best.

He was keeping everybody calm.

He was funny.

You know, he was like, though, the people did a great job.

The company's suck.

Like because what happened was we're sitting on the, we were sitting on the tarmac.

We were loaded.

The plane is loaded.

We're starting to back up.

And they're like, then they stop and they're like, oh, hang out a second.

We got a check.

We got maintenance crew coming out.

They got to check something real quick.

Hopefully we got here in a few minutes.

And it turns out the plane was leaking fuel through from the engine.

You see, you could smell it.

Oh, and after when you're sitting there, we could smell it.

And then the fire department shows up and we're like, okay, this is great.

This light's going nowhere.

And then we finally get off.

And we had to wait for another plane to come in.

I think from St. Louis.

And then get back on that one, turn around, come back around.

But the thing that's irritating is the way the company is structured to handle it.

So they send you text updates.

And it says here, here are these links.

If you want to rebook your flight, click this link.

If you want more information about your options, click this link.

And I click that link and it sends me to a thing that said, if you have any questions,

go see the gate agent.

Well, thanks.

Why did you send me a useless link?

What help is that?

I'm sitting there.

I could go talk to that person.

Why are you sending me a link that says go talk to the person you're looking at?

Right.

Like, what is that stuff?

And then I was complaining about it on Twitter and they replied to me.

And they're like, oh, you can DM us and send us your information.

And maybe we could help you.

All right.

Well, I did that.

Because I just wanted information.

And to see if maybe there's a better flight or something.

Because at that time, they didn't know what was going on.

And then I DMed them that.

And they sent me basically the same damn link.

Like clicked on this.

Like, oh, so you just sent me to the place that I was already complaining about on here.

Like, we should be better than this.

Like, the motto for all the airlines right now seems to be,

we apologize for all our suckiness.

And we make a lot of mistakes.

And we have a lot of bad delays and a lot of problems.

But to make it up to you, we're just going to charge you more.

Yeah.

Because everything's gotten more expensive.

The flights are not cheap.

It was $350 to fly from Chicago to St. Louis.

That's crap.

I almost said a curse word.

Which is insane.

Like, what are you, what are we talking about?

It was like a 50 seat plane.

It's not like it's not even, you know, this big full jet line.

It wasn't full.

There were seats empty.

But like, you were going to charge you so much more.

And you're going to get so much less.

No drinks.

Can I get any snacks or nothing?

They didn't give you a snack.

No, I mean, there's not much time on that one.

You know, it's a 45 minute in the air kind of thing.

But like, the whole idea of how you're supposed to run a business

is to get business.

You get that you give people value.

You give people quality.

And then if their quality is good,

people don't mind paying the price.

But the airlines have a set.

I don't want to say it's not A monopoly,

but it's so limited as to the competition

that they can just suck and charge more.

You know what seems to me to be the worst part

of your whole odyssey is your hair is insane right now.

Dude, it's nuts.

It's crazy long and it's weird and it's like crooked

and yeah, some of it's going forward,

some of it's going sideways, some of it's going up.

But it's all over the place.

Did it make any nuts?

No, I don't care.

Okay, good.

Just don't care.

You should have seen it.

Get it out of you.

You should have seen it.

I brought a hat, thank God, when I was moving

because I didn't, it was brutal.

I did want to say though, yesterday,

at the end of it all, like got outside the airport,

getting to those shuttle that'll take you to the parking lot

and all that.

Met John who flies for Delta.

I'm sorry, flies for United, who was on the flight with me,

but as a passenger just to come back

and he's like, you Kevin Wheeler.

I'm like, yeah, how you doing?

He's like, I love you guys.

I listen to DGS all the time.

You guys are the best.

I love you guys the way you break down

even these serious stuff.

You guys are awesome.

And he goes, and as I was explaining to him,

you must hate all of this nonsense with the airline

and he's like, I'm just used to it.

Yeah, super nice guy.

And so tip of the cap, shout out.

Pilot John.

Pilot John.

Really nice guy.

Now we have a pilot out there.

Yeah, good man.

Appreciate it.

Like I said, I didn't say the other thing

about the employees because of him.

Yeah.

Because I didn't know he was on my flight

until I was off the flight.

Yeah.

Those other people were amazing

and they get crapped on, right?

They're the ones that are getting yelled at.

They're the ones getting all the garbage from people

and it's because the structures of these companies

are just so awful.

Oof.

I feel like I've lived a lifetime now.

So that was when I go see Christopher Nolan's

the Odyssey.

I will know exactly what Odysseus is.

I'll be like, whatever.

Yeah.

Tell me when you have to move and truck through the mountains.

Whenever you have to drive a moving truck through the mountains,

you tell me about it.

Get back to me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't hear about no Trojan horse.

They certainly couldn't have driven a standard transmission.

They would have been lost.

Thank God I didn't have that.

I would have just.

Looking back DGS on Cayama,

Welcome back, DGS on KMOX, kind of quick little segment here because we went long on Kevin's

Odyssey and Mark Cantor is going to join us at the bottom of the hour from Israel.

He went over there for a missions trip and got caught in the middle of a war.

So he called Andrew and asked if he could appear on the show and tell us what it's like.

We said, of course, so he will be with us at 130.

Did you see the video of messy getting tackled by the runner?

It could have been AI.

It was on daily mail sports.

I know how you hate the runners and some guy ran out on the field and ended up tackling

messy, which damn.

I did not see that.

I saw almost nothing.

The last handful of dudes.

I feel like you're mad at me when I sent you the picture of what's his name with the

drip.

Max Clark.

Max Clark.

Because I think I told you the story yesterday, Andrew, this kid's never played a inning

of Major League ball, but he's wearing like multiple diamond necklaces and the broadcasters

are literally roasting him in real time and he proceeds to drop two fly balls.

Well, not in the same game.

Yeah, it was.

Was it?

Yeah.

I thought they were in separate games.

No, same game.

Yeah.

You love Max Clark.

I do.

I'm a fan of the guy.

I saw him play when he was 15 years old.

He's great on social media.

He interacts with fans.

He jokes around with people.

He's like openly.

He has a minor leaker.

He's openly like cheering on the Major League team when they're in the playoffs.

He's a good dude.

And he's a guy that people should.

This thing that drives me crazy though.

This is like, this is what happens in sports, but it's especially a baseball thing is the

old heads always crap on the young guys.

So when I was young, the guy that everybody crapped on was Ken Griffey, Jr.

So what is that?

He's dared to wear his hat backwards during batting practice.

And now nobody would ever question Ken Griffey, Jr., or anything about him.

He's a legend.

Why do we need to do this?

The guy, anybody, anybody who's been around baseball in any era will absolutely confirm

this is true.

Players drop flyballs in spring training all the time in Florida.

Always.

I mean, I heard Mike Shannon tell stories about that.

I've heard every old timer.

You lose it in that high sky.

It's super sunny.

You're playing in the middle of the day.

It's not a stadium.

You don't have a big stadium around you.

You lose sight of the ball sometimes.

There's a bunch of diamonds.

Yeah, the diamonds are put.

But if drop flyballs are part of the tradition of spring training going back ages, why is

it now because he's wearing chains?

Welcome back guys, DGS on KMOX.

So my friend and my client, Mark Cantor, is on a pre-planned sort of missions trip to

Israel and it just so happened that he got there when the war with Iran broke out and

he reached out to us, now it's for the layered time.

We said, absolutely yes.

Mark, how are you?

David, I'm great.

Thank God.

I'm in an area called Casseria, which is outside of Tel Aviv and we're here on a mission

and like you said, we're hanging out now.

So walk me through it.

And did you get there in relation to when the attack started and what's it been like?

So we got here Tuesday morning, early at 6am and we hit the ground running.

And that means that we went to resilient centers.

This country has post-traumatic stress disorder, although it's actually not post.

It's traumatic stress disorder because there's still a war.

So there's a lot of mental health problems.

That's what happens when terrorists rape and murder innocent people and take hostages.

And we met hostages and we were able to spend time with them and hug them.

And we went to military bases and we barbecued for the troops.

So just in general doing things goodwill and acts of loving kindness, which is what the

charity mission is, we're only here to help the people that need to be helped.

So we did that Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday is their Sabbath, Friday evening.

And on Saturday morning we're all sitting around getting ready to pray and we could hear

planes taking off and the sky was full and normally we're starting at the night.

So this one started in the morning.

It was early in the morning, maybe 8am and we heard the jets.

And then we knew stuff was going to happen.

Mark, let me back up.

Tell me what it was like meeting the hostages.

So we met, not just one hospital, not just one hostage, but many hostages.

And they all have a different story and a different trauma.

Most of the hostages that stayed for a long period time were men because the women were

brutalized, raped, and then murdered because they didn't want them to tell the stories.

And you know, Hamas is a terror cell and Iran funded Hamas.

So it's in my opinion fantastic what President Trump has done to help Israel take out the

world leader of terror, which is Iran.

So you know, these people have incredible stories in their kids and they're, you know, one

guy, Tal Shomer has a family, his wife and two children were actually taking captive

as well and were released in one of the early trades.

And he was held with Omar Venkert, who is a man that came to St. Louis and actually

hosted him at my retreat center of Cantorland and in my home.

And so, you know, now not only have I met and become very good friends of one, but two

of them that were held in captivity.

And then, you know, we met a series of other people with similar stories of being beaten

on a regular basis and starved, just terrible, terrible, terrible acts of inhumanity and terror.

So it's intense.

Mark, where you are, I feel like I would literally just be watching the skies for whatever

was going to fall out of it.

Is that the way it is?

No, you're watching, so the median in the United States, and it, look, it's a war and

I'm not trying to be an angel on it or cavalier, but I'm near a beach, near the Mediterranean

and a nice hotel and we have to be within two minutes of the bomb shelter and I've been

to the bomb shelter, you know, 25 times, maybe, maybe more.

Israel has an app, this is the most technological country in the world and so they know, they

give you a warning on the app and you can't miss it, it's on my phone, it's on my iPad,

it's on my watch and it beeps and buzzes and it's loud and you can't turn it off and

it says, you know, expect to go to the bomb shelter.

So you get to remember that Iran is 900 miles away, so it takes, you know, 5 to 10 minutes

depending on which type of missile is sent.

So they tell you, hey, you might have to go and a lot of them are intercepted.

The iron beam, which is a laser, is working and that's on the other side of Jordan.

Jordan is actually cooperating with Israel, which the media doesn't show you, but they've

been helpful and, you know, the Iranians attacked Saudi Arabia too, it's not just Israel

and America, they're attacking.

So there's been a lot of cooperation but they tell you when the missile is coming and

then if they don't intercept it, they send you another one that says, basically go to

the shelter immediately and then you have like two minutes and so we're always within

two minutes of it.

And then you let the women and children go down first, these entire families, I've carried

children down, I've carried kids and strollers, I've carried a puppy down the steps so

I'm, you know, he got to take the steps, he can't take the elevator.

So what I thought was a great room with a view of the ocean and a balcony is actually

the worst room because I'm, you know, I got to go down the most steps.

But it's not like any, it's not a big deal, you know, it's Israel's technology and defense

is amazing and so there's a lot of people that are frightened but I'm not one of them.

And when do you return?

Well that's a great question, I have a friend that was supposed to come back tomorrow

night because our trip officially ended tomorrow and he's on the LL, you always should

fly LL because every other airline in the world will cancel but LL is, you know, a state

sponsored airline.

So they canceled his and they said, they sent him an email that said he's rescheduled

for March 19th.

Oh, geez.

What?

Yeah, well because no one else is flying.

Yeah.

Some, some people that I know have paid a lot of money to get a flight out of Jordan.

Some people take a boat to Cyprus, I'm not going to do those things.

I just, I'm going to leave on a safe to leave from Israel and I'm scheduled to leave

March 8th at 1 a.m., which is, you know, Saturday night essentially.

So we'll see.

Hopefully they'll, hopefully they'll fly and I'll get home safely.

If you guys just joining us for talking to my friend and client, Attorney Mark Cantor,

who is in Israel right now, Mark before we let you go, anything else you want to convey

to the St. Louis audience?

I think that we're living in historical and times of biblical proportions.

If you believe in God, it's truly a miracle what's happened.

All the enemies have fallen, you know, Syria is gone, Hezbollah in Lebanon is getting destroyed.

The Houthis are quiet, Iran is toppled.

So these are really amazing times and this was a religious holiday called Purim in Persia,

which is the same place as Iran.

And it's a thousands of year old holiday about an evil man that wanted to rise up and kill

us and he failed and, and Kamani has failed.

So, you know, I think that it's amazing what America has done for the world, for the piece

of the West because a nuclear Iran, which is a rogue terrorist state, could have killed

millions.

So, that's, you know, I'm thankful for America and for Israel and for President Trump.

All right, man, stay safe and let us know when you're back home and we'll see you soon.

All right, thanks, Dave.

Appreciate it.

All right, you bet.

Thanks, Mark.

Man, the closest I ever came to that, which was not close, is the Gulf War was going

on or just starting when I was in Europe for my trip after law school.

And we were in, we were on a Greek island and we met a bunch of travelers and they were

going to go to Turkey and then someone said, well, you know what's going on and we didn't.

We had not heard of any of this.

And that was, it wasn't so much like I was in danger because I don't think I was.

It was just the first time I had been that far away from home for that long, for months

on end.

And I was really homesick and suddenly there's a war going on that could come my way and

it was just, you know, again, nothing like what other people have faced, but I know

that weird feeling and that, oh my God, I don't know what's going to happen next kind

of thing.

So, super weird.

Lots more to be said about the war and what's going on and, yeah, my views on it are evolving

quickly because as I said yesterday, I initially, I, this surprised me.

I knew that Trump was talking about going to war with the run.

I didn't think it would happen.

It's such a huge thing with so many indirect causations and, you know, things that are

going to happen and stock markets and so forth and so on.

But I don't like Iran, I don't know many people who do, but I still think that the process

of deciding to go and how we go and why we go, who makes the call to go, who declares

war, I think all those things are fair game, even in a military action against a pretty

hated enemy.

I think you still have to check the boxes.

And that's what is still going on now.

I have some sound from the Trump administration on why they went.

We'll take that up a little bit later in the show.

Okay.

Welcome back, DGS 150.

So I really wanted to talk about this yesterday, but I just didn't get to it.

And Rage has it on her show, she today, so I'm going to let her roll it out for you.

And have you guys seen the McDonald's CEO taking a bite of the big arch?

Yes.

Any SpongeBob fan when Squidward takes the tiniest bite ever of a crabby patting, it's

literally that.

It's so funny.

Rage, tell him about it.

Okay.

So the CEO of McDonald's, his name is Chris Kim Zinsky.

I hope I'm pronouncing his name right.

And he's promoting the big arch burger, which I actually had on Friday and really enjoyed

it.

He just said he had a last night and like, it was yummy.

It's a big old burger, but he's making this video, I guess, to promote the burger.

And he's just getting ripped apart because he refers to the sandwich as a product.

He's like, I love this product.

He did save a burger earlier.

Okay.

But it's like you got the burger.

You got the salad.

Let us.

But it was your right.

It was a weird way.

It was a very stiff, weirdo corporate way to say it.

Well, the part that I'm not really seeing anyone talk about, but the part that I noticed

was he was like, and I'm going to have this for lunch, believe it or not.

And I'm like, what do you mean, believe it or not, it's food that you sell.

Like, what do you mean, believe it or not?

Get this.

Everyone's eating.

Well, this is the United States of America.

Everyone eats McDonald.

Yeah.

This is the lunch you sell.

And you're like, I'm going to have this for lunch, but I'm about to put this crap in

my body.

And then he takes like the world's tiniest bite.

Yeah.

I'm the only one who'll say this, but it starts out.

He looks like a mago.

The guy just, he just looks like a mago.

He looks like, and, you know, it looks like Professor Frank from the Simpsons.

And I knew what was going to happen because I read the caption, but I'm like, oh, they're

exaggerating.

They were not.

I don't think he even got any burger.

Yeah.

It's like lettuce and bun.

Yeah.

And then when they showed the bite, he turned it, clearly someone had just ripped a piece

off of it to make it look like it was a big bite.

It was terrible.

It didn't even look like a big fry.

I mean, it's low.

No.

No.

No.

No.

Okay.

In his defense a little bit, the burger is difficult to handle.

Like, I got it Friday night.

And I was, I was sending pictures of it to Andrew and I was like, it is lit.

I'm sorry.

I'm going to cough.

I was like, it's legitimately hard to handle with one hand.

But I mean, you called it a product and he said believe it or not.

So I mean, it's all falling into the category of like, I don't think this guy ever eats

this food.

And I don't think he wants to eat it.

We have all felt that energy that he was given off there at some point.

And here's where it is.

When you're a little kid and your parents are telling you to go give this old aunt you

never see ever, go give your old aunt Bessie a kiss and you're like, go give your big

guards burger a kiss.

I know.

I know it.

And then you had to do it.

These are your parents are telling you you got to do it.

That's what it felt like.

The CEO of Burger King very wisely took this opportunity to make a video of himself taking

a big ol' bite of the whopper.

They have the new and improved whopper as we also talked about on Friday, which I believe

is probably a direct response to this big arch burger.

Here's what it means is me.

As a person in this business, do you realize how many humans had to okay that?

How many humans were too afraid to tell the CEO, dude, it looks like you don't want anything

to do with this burger.

You got to sell this a little bit.

You got to sell this.

Yeah.

And they just put it through.

Yeah.

He was probably like, I don't want to shoot it again.

I already took my bite.

Dude, David, it looks like you got this in the tank.

Yeah.

You're right, David.

Everybody who is a powerful person, you're a manager, you're a CEO, you're in charge

of people.

You need to have at least one or two people in order to tell you when you're being stupid.

That's not going to work.

That's a stupid idea because when you don't have it, you look stupid to the entire nation

like this guy does.

Yeah.

Is that video going to keep me from eating a big arch?

No.

The big arch is no.

No, it looks good.

It's real good.

I'm just more offended as a marketer that really, why are you afraid of your own burger?

He must be great at something because he sucks at that.

Oh, yeah.

Well, it's just, it's so, it's so wreaks of like the corporate sterilization of anything

fun that he called it a product.

Yeah.

Like, I didn't take that to be like, he doesn't even see it as food.

No, you're right.

He doesn't see anything as anything.

Everything on earth is a product.

Also, also with a capital C, amen.

He's a liar because he didn't get enough of that product to have an opinion at all.

And he takes the tiniest bite in the whole world and he goes, oh, that's tremendous.

Wait, it's like, how are you?

Come on.

He's like, man, I love, I love eating this.

You kind of made that a winner.

You just say, all right, man, you eat that whole burger and we're going to do the speed-up

time-lapse thing where we're just like speeding up so it looks like you're showing people.

This is good.

Oh, my God.

I chow down on that thing, man.

Or maybe like, well, I couldn't even finish it and you put down some little piece of it

at the end.

It's so good.

Why are people, I mean, I'm with you Dave, the marketing side of it is almost as bad

as just the notion that you're grossed out by the food you're trying to sell to the

rest of us.

Look back, guys, DGS, Kamileks, Brad Young is going to, well, he is here.

He has already joined us, but I have an announcement to make first.

I told you guys that my band was going to be playing a gig.

Our first gig back is a new band, Dave Glover band, and we are playing Delmar Hall, one

of my favorite rooms, to play or to see a show on April 17th, which is a Friday, and

my band will open with a 30, 40-minute beetle set, all beetles, and it's great.

We've been rehearsing it and we're doing really difficult stuff from Abbey Road.

It's going to be great.

And then I do be brother's tribute, and then Dave Calls, my bandmate has an Eric Clapton

tribute.

So it's going to be a really great night of music.

It'll be fun for DGS fans if you come out because I'll be done by 745, I can just hang.

So yeah, Rates put a click through as I call it, a link Facebook.

Yes, sir.

Okay.

So you can go to Facebook.

You probably shouldn't be here today.

I'm just coughing, everyone's a while.

I do have my loodens.

Just watch out if I start choking on one of these.

She gave me one of her looting.

Lootens are the best.

They're like candy.

They're fantastic.

They're so much like candy, we couldn't have them in grade school.

They would take them from us.

Really?

Yeah.

So then I started using Mr. Smith, Dr. Smiths, remember those?

The Smith Brothers.

They had big long beers, they're just like lootens, and they hit me out, hit me to that.

So if you guys want to come see my band and hang out April 17th, Del Mar hall, go get

your tickets.

I think they're like 30 bucks.

It's saying right here reserved is $25 in advance, $30 day of show.

There you go.

Boom.

She does more than I do.

Good night.

Brad Young is here with us.

Also, fellow rock and roller.

Hello, Brad.

Hey, Dave, I'm glad Rachel said loodens when she first said it.

I thought she said loods as in quailudes, Dave, it's not 1980, Dave, Brad.

We're having a little bit of a different day, I think.

Yeah.

That's the first thing I heard.

Wow.

Quailude.

I am super high.

So I'm feeling great.

That's like it's California in 1980, man.

Brad, I gotta tell you something.

You scared me a little bit yesterday.

Oh, how did I scare you?

Because you're too good.

It's like inviting someone from the audience to come play your drum set.

And then they do like a solo that blows you away.

We aren't if you listening to the show yesterday.

I could not.

But Brad was on with me with Colonel Jeff McCoslin.

Jeff's my boy, right?

Like we're tight.

He's, yeah.

So I'm asking him my typical BS Dave questions.

And then Brad comes out of the box and he's like, uh, so this head 175, a

rainy and blah, blah, and I'm like, what the hell is this guy doing?

He even, even the Colonel's like, I'm up my game.

Yeah.

You continue to amaze me, Brad.

Oh, you know, I'm just a geek at heart.

That's all I am.

Let me pull your stories up here.

The US Supreme Court declines the here challenge to pro baseball's anti-trust shield.

Well, I thought this was interesting because if you look at the history of baseball,

uh, up until 1998, baseball enjoyed, I think like 70 years of anti-trust exemption,

meaning, and let me, let me clarify what that means.

That means in an anti-trust situation, of course, we're seeing that right now with

live nation that you cannot control every aspect of the product and services.

So baseball controls the ticket sales.

They control, uh, who gets to air it.

Obviously right here on KMOX for Cardinals, they get to control television, they get to

control the concessions, they control the minor league.

Okay, that's an anti-trust, uh, rather it's a monopoly in every way that you look at

it.

Uh, but for 70 years, uh, there was really no legislation, but the court said, ah, you

know what, we've had baseball around forever.

It's America's pastime.

What the heck?

We'll just let him be a monopoly.

We won't care.

Uh, and in 1998, Congress passed what was called the Curt flood act, which codified or

created statutes that really empowered baseball to, to operate as a monopoly, but it's

okay under the law.

So this was one of the first challenges that came up a literally yesterday out of Puerto

Rico.

They wanted to start another minor league team and, and Major League Baseball said, no,

we're not going to let you.

So they filed a lawsuit challenging baseball's anti-trust status.

Supreme court said, no, we're, we're not going to hear it.

We're going to uphold the lower courts and baseball gets to enjoy its monopoly status,

uh, even though really statutorily, it's only been there for about 26, 27 years.

It's a fascinating thing because if someone wanted to start another professional baseball

league, they could there's no right there.

The problem, the, the, not, I shouldn't say the problem, the, the, the, what really kind

of makes this all somewhat irrelevant is that there just isn't a competitor.

Right.

But there isn't a competitor wheels, but, but, but legally, like we're seeing right now

with live nation, it doesn't matter if no one else could do it.

The fact is there are no other Major League Baseball teams leagues, rather baseball does

control every aspect of the game, whether it's the broadcast, the playing, the concessions,

the parking, they typically control every aspect of the product or service.

So it qualifies as a monopoly, but because of baseball's unique status, I think, as a

sport, uh, from 1920 until 1998, the courts just said, you know what, that's the way it

is.

And we're going to roll with it.

Uh, and wasn't until 98 that the Kurt Flutak came in and statutorily created the,

uh, the monopoly, the, it's, it's the legal monopoly that, that we see today.

So, uh, uh, to be an interesting question is, do the, the other sports do not have that

exemption, but they operate basically the way you're describing.

Oh, that's right.

And, and there can be other lawsuits.

In fact, that I believe that the whole collusion thing, uh, was part of the argument, uh,

of St. Louis, uh, against the Rams was that it wasn't just the decision of the Rams.

Right.

Right.

So it was the league and they colluded.

And I think that was one of the reasons why they agreed to settle, although, yeah, if,

if the St. Louis would have called me, I would have said, hold out, you'll get twice as

much money because Major League football, they don't care about money.

I mean, they got, they got the proverbial money tree.

They would have paid more than three quarters of a billion, uh, but you know what, they settled.

That's fine.

We got money.

Uh, but that's why they, it's one of the many reasons why the NFL did not want to go

to trial against St. Louis was because of the whole antitrust allegation.

Yeah.

They also didn't want discovery.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They didn't want their cell records, particularly Robert Kraft.

Yeah.

Okay.

When he's down in Florida at the massage parlor, he doesn't want anybody knowing what's

on his cell phone.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

But in discovery, it would have been proven that they were talking about this three years

before because they, they've all admitted it since, like, after the lawsuit.

So if they had gone, they would have clearly lost triple what they ended up paying.

Yes.

Yes.

Absolutely.

But you know what?

When you're an attorney, you do what the client wants and the client, the client wants

to settle.

You say, okay.

Yeah.

Uh, Brad, I'm going to make an executive decision here.

And before we do your next story, I want to talk about the war in Iran because we have

a little more explanation now, uh, as to why we went and I want to play you a piece

of sound and it's Marco Rubio, maybe you've already heard it.

And let me tell you what he's about to say because what he says is very confusing.

But he's basically saying that the reason we are at war with Iran is because Israel told

us they were going to hit them.

And we calculated that if Israel hits Iran, they're going to hit us.

So we can't risk that.

So we're going to preemptively go to war with Iran.

We're going to play cut one rate.

There absolutely was an imminent threat and the imminent threat was that we knew that

if Iran was attacked and we believe they would be attacked, that they would immediately

come after us.

And we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded because the

Department of War assessed that if we did that, if we waited for them to hit us first

after they were attacked and by someone else, Israel attacked them, they hit us first

and we waited for them to hit us.

We would suffer more casualties and more deaths.

We went proactively in a defensive way to prevent them from inflicting hard damage.

Have we not done so?

There would have been hearings on Capitol Hill about how we knew that this was going to happen

and we didn't act preemptively to prevent more casualties and more loss of life.

Okay.

So everyone's talking about the torture logic there.

How's it hit you, Brad?

It is rather torture logic and it reminds me of the reason we did regime change in Iraq

based upon faulty intelligence at the time of weapons of mass destruction.

However, in this instance, I think this is actually stronger than what we went into in

Iraq because the whole information in Iraq was false.

But in this situation, it's true that Israel would have attacked and if we knew that there

was going to be an imminent attack by Israel, it would be far better for us to go in preemptively.

I mean, I'm not trying to make light of this in any way.

Right now, I think the death toll for Americans stands at six.

And again, I'm not trying to make a joke here, but there were more people killed in Chicago

over the weekend than there were in the Middle East in terms of Americans.

So I'm not making that as a joke because you don't joke about the loss of life.

But I'm putting it in a context to say if we did, if we allowed Israel to attack Iran

and we did nothing preemptively, then we would have mass casualties across the country

and rather across the region.

And I think actually, textually, that's a stronger logic than what we had going into a

rock, which was completely faulty.

Well, so we had to do something because someone else was going to do something.

No, we had that's horrible logic.

Well, no, it wasn't that we had to do something because somebody else was going to do something.

It's that we had to do something because as a chess game, once Israel launches a preemptive

strike against Iran and then Iran retaliates, then we would be facing casualties from that

retaliation.

So another nation's actions dictated our policies.

And we didn't take Iran and we didn't take it to Congress and we didn't have hearings

on it and we didn't have secret hearings behind the scenes.

We just did it.

You're right.

And under the War Powers Act, frankly, the president is allowed to do it.

I think Obama launched missiles multiple, multiple times using the War Powers Act and basically

stating that under the War Powers Act, you have to advise Congress within 48 hours.

You have 60 days to proceed with military operations.

And then you have a 30-day wind-down period, which means you've got 90 days.

So right now, President Trump is in compliance with the War Powers Act.

I understand that the logic is a bit sketchy, but if I compare it to Iraq after 9-11, I think

that logic is stronger now than it was then.

The part that sticks in my brain is weighing what just happened according to Marco Rubio.

I also have sound from Mike Johnson who just says essentially the same thing.

So I'm going to take him with their word.

But weighing that against Trump's hyperbole and braggadocio about I could have prevented

Putin from invading Ukraine.

He never would have done that.

And I've been president.

I could control that.

Yet you can't impact one of your closest buddies and allies in Netanyahu and Israel.

They're good.

It just seems like what we all said, I didn't know that we were so beholden to Israel that

if they're that we can't keep them from doing something we don't want them to do.

Well, I think we could have.

I think if Trump would have said to Netanyahu, I don't want you going into Iran, they would

have no choice but to concede or acquiesce.

But here's the problem with that.

You remember from the concept of government, government is all about being risk averse.

And I know that obviously launching a missile war in Iran is risk is fraught with risks.

But from a blame game, if Iran then obtained a nuclear weapon, if Iran obtained ballistic

missiles and fired them at U.S. at Germany, for example, at Ramstein Air Force Base, or

any other place where there's a great deal of Americans.

And it leaked that the U.S. government could have prevented it and didn't act to a government

official.

That is worse than then shouldering the blame for going in militarily in Iran.

I get that it's more complicated than this, but essentially it's, I think Wheeler is

going to hit Rachel and Rachel definitely going to hit me.

So I better hit Rachel.

I couldn't even keep up with all the players like it's sort of like, it was a case, again,

I know it's not a perfect, but if that was a case bread, where Dave had strived exactly

like that and there were charges press, is that a fair defense?

No, I don't, I don't, I don't think that, I think that analogy breaks down very quickly

because there's no part of Rachel that's going to, to then retaliate and beat up Andrew

and beat up Fred bottomer and beat up Michael Calhoun and all of those other people in

the studio, unless Dave acts to prevent Rachel from doing that.

That's where that metaphor breaks down, but let's say it was somebody that had those

skills, you're, you're fighting, it's a mobster.

And if I don't hit this guy now, if I don't shoot him now, he's going to shoot 10 other

people.

Does that hold up in defense?

It doesn't hold up in U.S. criminal court, but it does hold up geopolitically.

Okay.

Look, there have been multiple instances, even when we, when we took out Libya and we fired

missiles in Libya and took out their capabilities because we had intel that things were going

to happen.

That on a grand geopolitical scale, that happens regularly.

And even though that would be a criminal act within the United States, geopolitically,

it does occur and we're seeing that play out right now.

We're way laid for a break, but Brad, as a Christian, I have to ask you this, have you

seen the reports all over the news now that hundreds of complaints have been filed based

on commanders telling their soldiers and airmen and sailors that Trump has been anointed

by God and this could lead to Armageddon?

I've not seen that, but I will tell you that that troubles me enormously because if you

wrap any individual with this crown, so to speak, of being anointed by God himself,

and at that point, that would justify anything happening and that to me gives me a lot

of heartburn.

Yeah.

Check that out.

It's a pretty amazing story.

I'll be looking into that right now.

It's from the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.

They posted it and everybody's run with their, they're the ones that took all the calls.

They've taken a couple hundred calls and from 50 different military installations around

the world.

Yeah.

All right, that's very, very troubling.

Hey, thanks guys.

Appreciate it.

I want to ride my bike.

I want to ride my bike.

Look back, DJS.

A really short segment.

Let's just play that mic, Johnson Sound.

This is really important where it war and I think with the speaker, the house says, is

interesting and important, so play a cut to.

To me, the most critical point is that this was a defensive measure, a defensive operation

and why is that?

I took some notes and this is not classified, so I'll tell you what I think is important.

Israel was determined to act in their own defense here, with or without American support.

Why?

Because Israel faced what they deemed to be an existential threat.

Iran was building missiles at a radical, and a rapid clip to the point where our allies

in the region could not keep up.

As you know, Iran has long vowed to take out Israel, wipe it off the map and they have

long seen that as a critical threat to their very existence.

Because Israel was determined to act with or without the US, our Commander-in-Chief

and the administration and the officials I just named had a very difficult decision to

make.

They had to evaluate the threats to the US, to our troops, to our installations, to our

assets and the region and beyond, and they determined because of the exquisite intelligence

that we had that if Israel fired upon Iran, it took action against Iran to take out

the missiles, then they would have immediately retaliated against US personnel and assets.

We have troops in harm's way and we have many Americans in the region and that was of

a great concern.

If we had waited for all of those eventualities to take place, the consequences of inaction

on our part could have been devastating.

We don't know what magnitude but you can assume because it is common sense that if Iran

had begun to fire all of their missile arsenal, short and mid-range missiles, there you go.

Trump has also been making, I mean, he's Trump, he's going to talk and he's saying, go,

the I told her, try to get me twice but I got him before he got me and now he's dead

and I'm alive, he, he, he, I call me what you want.

I think it's important to know why we are at war, to know what the plan is, to know what

the goals are, and so far the reasons that are being given, like I'll be honest with you,

the Marco Rubio thing, muddied it for me way more.

Welcome back guys, DGSN came away, it's happy Tuesday, 235, rage is back, still not feeling

good, still got a little bit of a cough, Andrew, you're the forgotten sick guy here.

He's been carrying that for like a week, a week and a half.

I'm fine.

It's all good.

I'm fine.

I told Kevin, I told Kevin earlier, I was like, you just can't make me laugh during the

show because I'll start coughing, that's the only time I'm really, I'm really coughing

now is when I start laughing at something.

I know.

No, it's like when someone comes and you're looking at them and then you, I'm trying to

suppress it.

Do you think it's any worse feeling than when you feel the cough and you're like, I think

I can battle this back down, but you can.

I laughed at something last night and I started laughing really hard and I thought I was going

to die.

Like I could not breathe.

I thought I had like pulled myself into an asthma attack.

It's coming from the hair of fire.

I've got a loot ins for you, loot ins for you, loot ins for you, loot ins for you,

loot ins for you, loot ins for you, loot ins for you.

You love loot ins.

I just don't want to be the one to tell Rachel it's not a real cough drop.

It doesn't work that well.

It just can't.

You can have lifesavers.

It's kind of the same idea.

It's a get the spit.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I didn't want to say it, but that's all it's for.

I, because Andrew has these like good cough drops he wants to share with me.

The thing is, I don't like the medication taste, the medication taste, yeah.

Vicks Bake...

Vips.

Vyzodox.

That's concerned.

You know what it's fine.

You know what?

You know what?

I had the Vyxvapabob cough drops.

Yeah.

They are insane.

Yeah?

You, all right ten seconds in your mouth.

And this thing is like your whole head is ice cold.

Come on, that's your ears, man.

It's like...

I have never experienced anything like it.

It is so intense.

But like in a, in a nice way.

My mom was an over VIX rubber.

Like she'd come in in the middle of the night when I was sick and it would just be from

my way stop.

And this is when I was in college.

So.

And I remember, I only we ever did that.

No VIX.

Never.

Yeah.

I was always just meds.

I don't know what this is for.

But I do know that putting VIX on the bottoms of your feet and then putting socks on does

something good.

Really?

Yeah.

I've heard that.

It might be what you're going through or it might be.

It might be.

Yeah.

Rickets.

But yeah.

It does something good.

Yeah.

Like Rachel said, it could just be a good fortune.

Who knows?

Yeah.

Yeah.

The thing about the medicated cough drops is like, I'm getting grossed out by the ludens.

You don't.

Yeah.

You know how you just get that like mouth feel of like a cat.

Yeah.

I've had too many of these but I need to keep.

Well, the downside to those is they tear your mouth up because the little bumps where they

print the letters on there, they can rub on the top of your mouth.

Wow.

You're a sensitive little boy, aren't you?

Just telling you do.

I love them.

Like when you're sick, you take a ton of those things.

Yeah.

So we all know punch.

Mm-hmm.

Are you guys familiar with PD, the seeing eye donkey?

No.

I've been getting PD for like six months now.

Okay.

And PD lives in a farm like you thought he'd be a lawyer.

Right.

And he is in charge of a blind horse.

And so every morning he goes to the blind horse's stall and braze, is that what a donkey

does?

Yeah.

And the horse comes over and he leads him out and takes care of him the whole day.

That's sweet.

And he always sweet.

And he also was blind.

He can't be a seeing eye donkey if he's blind.

Yeah.

And the blind.

It's actually taking the blind horse.

It's literally in the name of the job.

Seeing eye.

Okay.

I'm with it.

I thought she said he was blind.

I don't know why.

I thought she said he was blind.

He's the seeing eye donkey.

I thought she said he was.

Oh, the seeing eye donkey.

I thought she said he was a story crap.

It's only a good story if they're both blind.

Oh man.

Wait a minute.

I'm fine.

No, no, no, no.

It's a good story.

I just thought you said.

I thought you said PD the blind.

Yes.

The blind donkey.

Okay.

Since you brought up donkey's brain, it reminded me of this cartoon I would watch as a

child.

Pinchito.

The little burrow who could not pray.

I've heard of this.

I've never seen it.

But I have the video here, but I'm a little worried because it might be a little, yeah,

it might be a little, uh, the Frito Bandito, a little stereotypical.

Yeah.

Let's try it.

All right.

We could try it.

Pinchito.

Pinchito.

Pinchito.

Pinchito.

Pinchito.

Yeah.

Pinchito.

Yeah.

We tried it.

Yeah.

It's definitely, uh, heading in a bad direction.

Three syllables is all it took.

Yeah.

I don't know how.

I guess it was only like a VHS of some kind that I had access to.

I only had seabird.

But seabird.

Seabird was a little baby seal, and I think I think it was like sweetish or something.

And uh, he would like...

Belgian.

Belgian.

Yeah, there we go.

I have no idea how my parents would have found VHS tapes of this like Belgian, uh, baby

seal cartoon.

Uh, but he was so cute.

He would, he would like...

Oh, man.

And beasts of the wild live together in harmony, neither threatening the other's future

existence.

What?

But unfortunately, the world is different today.

Many wild animals are disappearing from the earth because man is on skip ahead.

Oh, he's cute.

Oh, he's cute.

He's so tall.

He's so tall.

He's so tall.

He's so tall.

He's so tall.

And seabird.

To protect endangered animals.

So once again, all inhabitants of the world can live together.

So he was like protecting the environment?

Seabird was like an eco-terrorist.

He would, uh, he would team up with this, uh, like, uh...

He got together with Greta Thunberg.

Yes.

He would basically, he would hang out with like Greta Thunberg type.

And they would, uh...

They would do eco-terror on, like, gas company.

Thank you.

You know who we need?

We need PD.

They're like, PD's blind for the love of God.

PD's blind, haven't you heard?

Plus, he's tied up with the horse all day.

He's got a job.

Yeah, he's got, he's got a full-time job, even.

He's like any Sullivan for this horse.

He doesn't get any PTO.

He can't take any vacation.

I also saw, uh, a TikTok from a guy named Jeff, the bare-man Watkins.

And he's the latest guy that lives with enormous grizzly bears.

Yeah, okay.

The difference is, to me, Jeff looks terrified all the time.

But...

I'm serious.

It's only there was a way for him to get out of the series.

I'm serious.

It's such a good bit.

Guy who lives with the bears, but is so scared all the time.

Seriously.

You got to look it up.

The bear has, like, an igloo that it lives in.

And Jeff, the bare-man, is sort of like laying back coquettishly almost in the bear's

igloo.

Oh, there's this first one.

And he pours a bowl of kibble, and the bear smells it, and then comes over and smells

Jeff.

And Jeff is not...

He's not comfortable.

Oh, wow.

You watch it?

Yes.

There's a lot of anxiety in Jeff's eyes.

Isn't being the bare-man, like being a 115-year-old Chinese lady, like you're just...

Where's the next guy to go?

Yeah.

Well, the thing is, you don't have a choice about being a 115-year-old Chinese lady.

It's either going to...

You know, you're going to reach that point eventually, and you're not going to necessarily

do it of your own free will.

The bear-man has the option, right?

As people often will point out on tiktok comments, like, oh, it's so sad that everyone has

no choice but to do this.

So sad that you have no other options besides being the bear-man and living with a bear

bear.

Oh, so he uses the bear for commercials.

There we go.

There we go.

The trainer.

We're filling in the blanks here.

Maybe he can maybe go work at Target or something.

I mean, it's a...

It's a good thing to be afraid of grizzly bears.

Yeah.

Yeah, he's not...

He's not wrong to be afraid of the bear.

He's wrong to have to bear around in the first place.

Also, I had a weird thought.

I was in the zone.

I don't like country music.

And I'm fairly judgmental of it, unfairly.

But I realize it.

One of the reasons I don't like it is it's one thing if you're from Kentucky and you

got a twang and you're seeing, like, got a twang.

But if you're from Seattle, like, they all seem like they have a twang.

That's like me moving to the UK and singing, like, I'm British and it just bugs me.

Like, you're not country.

Not fit.

So, the people who are, like, British singing without a British accent sound American.

I don't think that's enforced, though.

I think that's just the way it sounds.

I get you.

Yeah.

I agree.

I mean, I grew up, like, pretty much in the country, and then I would come to, like,

you know, like the Ulton area, these kids would be wearing camo and driving trucks.

I'm like, you live on, like, Albany Street.

I'm so confused.

But then it's like, but I'm not even that country at the end of the day.

You know what I mean?

Like, I'm not even leaning into it that hard.

It's weird.

It's definitely like a cosplaying thing.

It's also, yeah, but also is really bad.

I wasn't going to call out Bethalto.

They were.

I was thinking.

Yeah, Bethalto is the worst with, like, people cosplaying as deep south, like, hunter,

the tracker types.

It's very odd.

No, I grew up getting chased by coyotes and riding in the back of trucks and

people shooting their dogs instead of taking them to the vet.

Like, I never thought of myself as country.

Yeah.

I'm only more country than that.

Albany Street, not Albany Street.

Either way, the joke worked.

I wasn't going to say anything, but I was like, I don't think it's Albany Street.

Either way, the joke worked.

Yeah.

There could be an Albany Street dog.

It's just a Rachelism.

I never pronounce anything right.

We're going to go back DG S on Camel X.

You know how every day is a different day, national cookie day.

Yes.

Today is National IHOP's Pancake Day.

I have not been back to IHOP.

I've not darkened their doorstep since IHOP, the International House of Burgers.

That just shows you how seriously I take marketing.

They're dead to me.

You're missing out.

It's IHOP.

It's good.

It's not.

It is so good.

It's not good.

Dude, if you had the cinnamon roll pancakes, it's good.

It's that good.

No, I haven't, Kevin, because I'm not a little girl.

I don't know what happened to him.

He went to North Carolina.

I mean, I haven't been IHOP in a long time.

It's good.

It is a disgustingly overpriced for what you're going to get.

That's the thing.

You're going to get a lot of breakfast food.

It's like, I could just make this at home.

No.

The like two by two by two, the like two pieces of sausage, two eggs, and two pieces of bacon

at IHOP is like $15, and it's like what universe?

It doesn't tell me you can make quite a pancake.

Yeah.

I'm good with the protein pancakes made with peanut butter.

Oh.

So good.

Disgusting.

And you throw honey on it.

Oh.

Honey and butter on it.

So good.

We said pancake, not weird proteins.

So good.

Psychopath.

Pre-workout, jacked up nonsense.

We just want pancakes, Kevin.

Listen, man.

It's both.

Yeah.

We're not going out to kill nurses.

It's both of those things.

We don't want to become Kevin.

We just want to eat with Kevin.

It is both of those things.

It is tasty and wonderful, but also help you get jacked.

Hey, you can get scrap all at IHOP.

Oh, really?

Yep.

$3.99 for a little slice of that.

Like even around here?

That's what it's saying.

Jill says pancake, not man cake.

I'm looking at the menu and the New York Cheesecake Pancakes combo, which is two eggs,

hash browns, bacon, and the big old thing of pancakes.

That's 12 bucks.

That's a lot.

That's a lot.

That's a lot.

Yes.

Okay.

Donald's is $12.

We don't all make what Kevin Wheeler makes.

Tell me, what's a big Mac combo right now?

I have no idea.

I don't need big Macs.

What's beef in a big Mac combo?

Yeah, that's it.

How much was that tasty new burger that the CEO wouldn't eat?

It was like, it was like, yeah, like $10.99 for the combo.

It's self.

No, it's okay.

So there we go.

March comes.

So it's the same as the McDonald's combo for the biggest burger on our pancake is like

flour and an egg.

I'm just saying.

Two eggs.

That's $0.80.

I'm saying we're just having the Chipotle conversation all over again.

So I should clarify.

It's less about, it's not like you're paying steakhouse prices when you go to IHOP.

It's just like Rachel said, it's value for what you're receiving.

Yeah.

Real actual food made on us.

You're receiving as opposed to a burger made of paste.

Okay.

I would put any random person that I have seen.

Now this could just be because the Alden IHOP is the worst restaurant on earth.

It could be.

And one time when I was door-dashing I went in there.

It's near Albany Street.

It is near Albany Street.

I was going off the top of my head.

You were riffing.

I almost had a state street, but I'm like, no, that's not like alt and specific.

And then I was like, that was wrong.

And as soon as I said it, I knew it was wrong.

And then I corrected myself.

I just want IHOP to know I would happily endorse them.

I'm looking at the Sinistak.

Oh, I endorse them so good.

Okay, I'm sure they're delicious.

They look divine, but it's four pancakes for $11.29.

Yeah, nobody can eat four pancakes.

Oh, now you did it.

No, what I'm saying is that it's crazy.

I could make this at home for like $1.

You could you could grill burgers at home for a fraction of moving from the moving

moving D goal post over here.

No, I'm not.

Mr. goal post $12 is so expensive.

But I'm going to go spend $7 on a coffee and $5 on an energy drink.

What are you doing?

I'm talking about where is this where is this coming?

I'm just saying if we're talking, no, we're talking about like the value of things.

Well, this little caffeine drink is worth $6.

And I'm okay with that.

Yeah, I can't produce my own caffeine at all.

I can't process the cocaine of plants into caffeine in my house, Kevin.

So where does caffeine sit on the food pyramid?

Can I just say that for me?

For me, it's dead at the bottom.

Can I just say something?

The fights the fight that we have on this show are like, they're always the dumbest thing.

They're like just before the psychiatrist walks into therapy with a bunch of mentally ill

people in the silence.

And then she walks in and we all go pretend like you sleep.

We can talk about like bombing Iran.

But I just don't understand what he's objective.

We go through the case.

No, we can't.

He's so emotional over this.

It's like it is.

But it's just funny because like the whole value of things like everybody in the world

could make coffee for like 30 cents per serving.

But nope, I'm gonna go get $7.

That's why I make it at home.

But none of us do that.

He stopped you on that one.

None of us go to Starbucks.

It's expensive coffee.

I have a Starbucks like once every two months.

And it's like everything in a Starbucks.

And I'm like, oh, I am treating myself.

Man, who knew the international pancake game turned into a whole segment?

I was like, because we're like me and Andrew are like, hmm, personally, it's not worth

a dozen.

He's like, oh, you fool.

It's just a relativity of it, right?

I mean, we could all make chicken at home.

But we'll go pay the $9 for KFC downstairs.

No, we're paying like $5.

Yeah, I get the, it's the two, it's the Tuesday buckets.

Oh, we missed the Tuesday buckets.

Yeah.

We're all so sick.

Everybody could cook at home for last.

Nobody does.

Right.

Like literally, I mean, I'm the one that brings a lunch every day.

Oh, no, I just don't get honest.

Oh, we do.

This was coming.

Just say it.

Just say it.

Like, you're not lecturing me.

You're stupid from taking these guys out to lunch every day now.

And the truth comes out.

You're not lecturing me about food value, man.

This makes me sick.

I could cook it for last.

I won't ever, but I could.

No, I think you've made your point.

Yeah, you've heard enough people in your pursuit of being right.

It took all the leadership.

Yeah, you were so worried about if you could.

And father to think if you should.

Never thought he'd launch a new gun.

No, no, on behalf of.

On behalf of.

He's really good.

No, he's.

Oh, yeah, because the fast food places are giant corporations.

He's sending all of this to I have corporate.

I know I'm going to send this to them tomorrow, man.

Don't serve them.

If they come in, you should not serve them because they don't appreciate it.

Yeah.

They don't even make their own coffee.

They just don't forget who had your back.

They're going to be my demo tape.

They think they can eat four pancakes.

These are the idiots I'm working with.

Oh.

So when the 2020 fall out.

Oh, I won't be defeated.

Nothing to do now.

I'm going to go home.

I'll look about guys.

DGS and came Alex.

That was a long break.

It was.

We were late during the three.

Three oh eight.

Let's do a little DGS happy hour here.

And first of all, I want to tell you that my band is playing on April 17th at Delmar Hall.

That's a Friday night.

And we are opening with a 30, 40 minute Beatles set.

It's going to be really good.

We've been rehearsing it.

The band sounds great.

It's got great guys in the band.

And then there will be a Dewey Brothers tribute.

And then Dave cows is a Clapton tribute.

So it's going to be a really great night of music.

I hope you guys come out and tickets are on sale right now.

I think they're $25 advance in 32 or something like that at the door.

And rates put a link on our Facebook.

You can go straight to it.

Let me start this.

I love this story.

Tigers are nearly invisible to their prey.

Because their prey sees orange as green.

So not only are they just badass predators.

Oh, they got a sneak attack at me.

They're like the literal predator.

Like they're just almost invisible.

I just learned this.

Did you?

Why?

I just learned this because over the weekend to help me sleep on the couch,

I was putting on just like BBC Earth type stuff.

And they were getting into something about the tiger or how cats see.

And most animals see like dogs especially see like, you know,

you shouldn't take like orange toys outside for a dog they say

because they're going to have trouble seeing it in the grass.

Because it's going to look the same color.

And my wife said she's like, you know, that's why tigers are so good at camouflage

just by being like bright orange weirdos.

Is that to pretty much everybody else they look entirely invisible in the grass.

It reminds me of the dumbest dad joke that my dad loved.

It's like, did you know that elephants paint their toenails red?

You know why they do that?

Oh, so they can hide in cherry trees.

You ever seen one in a cherry tree?

Works, doesn't it?

It's a dad joke.

Yeah, it's awful.

It's hard to argue with.

But as soon as we did this, that's the first thing I popped into my head

because it was long for a joke.

It is, I agree.

I agree.

Yeah, it takes you a few minutes.

It's like four steps, right?

And it's like knock knock.

It's not funny.

Yeah, that's not funny.

It's, yeah.

One of my dad's favorite jokes was, what's the last thing they say to people

at an insane asylum at night?

Oh, no.

And he say, what?

And he'd say, want a peanut?

Damn, bro.

That's me.

Come in hard.

Man.

Come in hard.

Our parents are actually just like the jokes are just, they didn't care.

They didn't care.

No.

One thing our folks didn't was care.

Don't watch yourself.

It's so terrible.

Anyone got a happy hour?

Happy hour.

I mean, I've got a personal anecdote to share.

Okay.

You know how they always say like, women be shopping.

Yeah.

I'm the proof of this, man.

So I was sick yesterday morning when I was like still planning on coming

into work before I talked to you and Steve Dave.

I was like looking at Target because I'm like, I'm going to get some cold medicine.

So get me through the day.

And after a certain period of time, I just realized like, I am just shopping.

Like, I'm looking at all of the difference I can.

And I'm like, oh, that might be, you know, Andrew might want to use some of that.

This would be good.

And all the different cold medications.

I just, I completely lost the plot of what I was trying to do, which was feel better.

And I just shopped.

Yeah, I just got wrapped up in like the different products.

Call back.

But the different products.

Yeah.

I could be purchasing and I was having a lovely time.

You know what?

I just shopped for yesterday and I was completely lost Saturday.

I'm going to spring training with with Michael Kelly.

And I didn't, I don't know what to wear.

And so I went to buy myself some grown up men shorts.

But I'm so mixed up because like a couple years ago, it's like, oh, you can't wear cargo shorts.

You can't have pockets on your shorts.

I'm like, but I don't know what to wear.

So I bought like three different pair and I'll see which one looks the least weird.

What kind did you get?

I don't know.

Were they cargo?

No.

Are they short cut?

No, from Amazon.

Oh, okay.

From Amazon.

Was that?

Are they above the knee?

Are they, do they cover the knee?

Yeah.

No.

They're, they're, they're, they're not short shorts, but they're not long.

Above the knee is the current way to go.

Yeah.

Then I'm good.

Yeah.

I think that would be good because that's going to be above the knee, but not, you know,

yeah, a little far up the knee if you know what I mean.

I do know to me.

Not promiscuous.

Yes.

I'm not showing off my quads and amies.

Not, not so Reno 9-1-1 with it.

I also have one more dumb thing I want to say.

I think twizzlers might be the most underrated candy of all time.

No one ever talks about twizzlers.

Yeah, twizzlers are great.

They're delicious.

They're subtle.

Somehow, they're not in your face like all these misty.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I have to take it even to say it's not even really that.

It just looks like it.

It's almost more like a, it's just like a sticky candy.

Yeah, it's a, it is like candy.

It's a fructane.

Yeah, it's a fructane.

I can, I can stomach a cherry twizzlers, but I would never choose it.

Yeah, it's good.

Yeah.

Man, I would choose it.

Yeah.

It's one of the few candies that my wife and I will like fight over at home.

Yeah.

We will like sneak behind each other's back to eat the rest of the twizzlers.

I guess something for, for happy hour.

All right.

Okay, so there's this lady that I saw on, on TikTok.

And she, she's the, she called, I think it's the Fairview Heights Walker.

Shout out if, if you happen to be listening, ma'am.

And she, I think she just like walks around the like,

saying Claire Square mall and like talks about it.

But she, she gave up where the best bathroom at that mall is.

And she's like, it's a, it's a quiet bathroom.

Nobody goes to it.

She went in it.

It looked beautiful.

There were like chairs to sit on in the bathroom.

She's like, look how clean and like renovated and up to date this bathroom is.

I think it was at the dillards.

And the whole time she's like, I shouldn't, I shouldn't even be saying this.

I shouldn't even be telling you guys this because I, I don't want to ruin the spot.

I shouldn't even be saying this.

And it got me thinking, would you guys be willing to do that?

Would you guys, if you had the spot when it comes to like a public bathroom

at a place that you're always at?

Like if there was a secret bathroom here that you guys knew about,

and you knew that only one or two other people knew about it,

would you be willing to be like, to put somebody on?

No.

That's what I thought.

I was like, I'm not doing that.

I would never have made that video.

We had it.

It took so much courage.

There was a situation like this at Alton Square mall.

And I can share this now because the Macy's doesn't exist anymore.

But there was a Macy's bathroom on the top floor.

And you would go back through this long winding hallway.

And it seemed like you were going into like an employee only zone,

but it was a public bathroom.

And the Radio Shack folks would use it all the time

when they had to go a certain something.

And we would, we would call it like we're going to Narnia,

because you were like going on a journey to get there.

But there was never anyone else in the bathroom, and it was amazing.

Do you remember at Lewis and Clark, the legendary bathroom,

that we, it was found one time,

and we had so much trouble finding it ever again.

I thought you were with us the night that a group of like four or five of us

just decided to case the entire campus to try and find this bathroom.

And we did.

We did eventually find it.

I don't know, man.

I don't remember this.

Wouldn't it have been like a boy's bathroom?

It was, it was a gender neutral bathroom.

Because in turn, it was, it was essentially like a handicap bathroom

that we did not know was to be specially used for that.

But a night when no one's there.

There you go.

We're going to stop here.

Jessica says Rachel get the twizzlers, bunnies,

and the Easter candy at Chinooks.

Jessica, I had a bag of those just today.

Wow.

They were delicious.

Oh, is that what you're eating?

That is what I was eating.

They were delicious.

They did not know those existed.

No.

Wheels what do you got?

I, I think I need to offer a public apology to anyone.

Yes.

Anyone who was weak.

Except.

I'm not apologizing about that.

I will die on that hill.

I, a tanning when that was around me on the flight yesterday,

I think I smelled like monkey butt.

I don't know.

I, I don't know why.

And I don't know if it was like, I think it was me.

I don't, it shouldn't have been because I took a shower.

But I was also like, maybe some clean clothes got mixed

with clothes that were used for moving.

And maybe it was just the sweat.

What you weren't wearing them?

Yeah, the sweat that I was wearing might have not gotten

like separated enough from the laundry

when I was moving stuff around.

Yeah.

Cause I just, I felt like I could smell something all day

and then I'm on the plane.

I'm like, I think it's me.

I think it's me.

I thought it was somebody else.

You know what they're running about that?

If I recall, your flight down,

you were next to a monkey butt guy.

I know.

I don't, I don't, the flight down, the person next to me.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

I, I, I had tears in my eyes.

Some ladies like, are you okay, sir?

No, she didn't.

And then you mean mug someone in the target?

I did.

Parking lot.

I did.

Maybe you guys, maybe we can do a little A.I.T.A.

on Sunday.

We're pulling into the target.

And we're just like my kids driving.

So this is maybe just like pop a bearer thing.

And there's this giant pickup truck that is literally on our bumper.

And my kid's going slow because you're in a parking lot.

And you go 10, 15 miles an hour in a parking lot.

And she's getting ready to turn right down the lane to go park.

And this guy blares the horn, right?

So as soon as he does that, I'm turning and looking.

And I watched where he parked.

And we timed it.

We, I timed it.

So that we would be walking up to the store at the very same time,

because that's how I'm parking it out of his car.

And I would not take my eyes off him.

I was staring at him.

And he looked at me for a brief second and turned his head.

And I kept staring at him.

And I, because I wanted him to do something.

I wanted him to say something.

I wanted it.

I wasn't going to do anything.

But I wanted it because I wanted to tell,

I wanted to tell that guy off.

And I didn't because he kept diverting his stare

because he clearly, I don't know if he knew why or what,

but am I a jerk for doing that?

No.

Am I a jerk for literally like just staring somebody

at somebody the entire time because they were riding

our tail in a parking lot.

Like, what's your hurry?

No, if more people got stared down by a giant ginger man,

we would have less problems in this world.

My kid was like, why are you walking so fast?

I'm like, I'm not walking that fast.

I'm just walking normal.

Which she have been mortified.

No.

She knows me.

Well, she was mad too because the guy honks.

She's like, what are you?

I'm in a parking lot.

I'm just getting ready to turn down.

I was like, where are you going?

And then when he turns and he parks and he goes in the store,

I'm like, what, what possible thing could you be

in that big of a hurry for that you're like on someone's tail

at a parking lot and blaring your horn at them?

I have one very much like that.

I was going down the road the other day at a stop light.

It turns green.

I hit the gas and the person behind me lays on the horn.

So, and I'm not the tough guy you are,

but when I finagled it so that we would be next to each other

and I did that thing where you set up real high

and you're, you know, to make it look like I'm over six feet.

And I looked over there and I'm just ready for it

and it was the world's oldest woman.

Oh.

Let me tell you something.

I whipped her ass.

Oh, yeah.

No, but I just went from like 10 to two.

I'm like, oh, okay.

Yeah, I mean, but she's still, she did the infraction.

Yeah, yeah.

No, it definitely, there's a level of intent.

Like if I, if something weird like that happens

in a parking lot or on the road and you start to get mad

and then you see, oh, that person's like 16 years old,

I'm like, okay, you're just dumb, right?

You're just learning, you made a mistake, you're dumb.

And there's various levels.

But if you're like between the ages of, I don't know,

like 25 and 70, you should know what you're doing

and you should understand.

And like, A, we don't need to be tailgating people

in a parking lot and blaring horns in a parking lot.

Yeah.

And where are you going?

Where, why is your time this valuable

that you got to get into target four seconds faster?

Three, 25 DGS.

I am not, I'm not trying to be funny here.

Back to the war in Iran.

And one of the stated reasons for going is

we want to prevent them from getting a nuke.

Great reason.

I get it.

I don't want them having a nuke either.

Doesn't that always make you guys think,

is it really that impossible to buy a nuke?

Like there's so many thousands of them out there.

And Iran has tons of money.

I guess it must just be something prohibitive.

To try to buy a nuke.

My guess would be that nobody wants to sell them.

Yeah, you know, because if you sell it to Iran

and then they use it, guess who else is on the hook?

You.

I think I didn't, I didn't think you really bought nuke

because I thought you made them.

Yeah, no, no, no.

But people have access.

Yeah, but people have.

The countries have access.

You know, Russia has so many thousands.

We have access.

That.

Yeah.

Okay.

You know, they could just not round up and be like,

here, let's go sell this to Iran.

I think it's the whole we don't want to be connected

and anything somebody else might do with it.

Because let's say, let's say, for example,

let's say Russia did sell Iran a nuke

and then Iran used it on us, on Israel, whatever.

Well, Russia's then now in there in it.

They're, they're now part of the fight.

Must be it.

That would be a pretty good guess, right?

At a weird thing last night was it, was anyone watching CNN?

So I was watching CNN kind of just wall to wall

at seven o'clock.

They had like a war in Iran, special hosted by Anderson Cooper.

And it was a quad box.

And in the upper left hand corner of your screen,

it was the personalities.

And in the other three, it was videos of the war.

Right.

But it didn't take you long to figure out.

They were on a 30 second loop and repeated.

Oh, I gotcha.

Yeah.

For two hours.

Wow.

Because then when Caitlin Collins took over,

it was the same damn thing and annoyed me so much.

I just went and watched Sasquatch.

It's like, don't you have producers?

Wasn't there anyone at CNN that went, you know,

we're just showing the same videos over and over again

for literally hours.

Things like that bug me.

I just saw a statistic.

I guess it makes sense.

99.9% of all pain felt on the planet Earth is felt by animals.

Oh, I would, yeah, that makes sense.

Yeah, it makes sense.

So many of them.

How many animals are there on the planet?

55.

Can't even drive that.

Dave Murray's weather forecast is sponsored by

Sandberg Phoenix law firm.

Welcome back.

DG S on camera.

Wax.

Happy Tuesday.

334.

Dave Murray time.

Brought to you by the Seliga heating and cooling weather desk.

Hello, Dave.

Hello there.

Everyone.

I want to get.

I want to get like 10 sponsors for one weather cast.

You're pretty close.

Pretty close.

Just do more.

Yeah.

No, all at once though.

10 of them in a row.

Then we'll be done with weather.

Everybody's back.

Rachel, you feeling better?

Yes, I am.

Thank you, Dave.

Good.

She's on a pretty heavy.

Lootens cough drop.

I don't know.

Trip though.

Which basically is the same as a sugar rush.

I'm sweating my tummy.

That's right.

Yeah.

And no one's really caring about Andrew being sick

and it's hurting his feelings.

No, I'm fine.

I don't care.

I don't care.

Don't make him laugh better than that.

Don't make him laugh though.

Genuinely, I've been sick for a week now.

I'm cool.

Did you give it to Rachel?

Possibly.

Not intentionally.

I mean, I tried to isolate as best as I could.

I've been, you know, I'm in this separate room and everything.

In the box.

Yeah, in the box.

Getting the box.

What's in the box?

Getting the box.

So a couple more days like this, Dave?

Yeah.

You know, I think, you know, today's a great example.

It's not raining all the time.

There's some pretty good thunderstorms well to our north.

A good 100 miles to our north.

They stay away.

But we will have scattered our periods of rain and thunderstorms

around overnight tonight.

Again tomorrow.

The best chance for severe weather tomorrow.

Strong to severe will be about 50 miles plus south, southeast of St. Louis.

That's really close.

So we have to keep an eye on it.

But Wednesday will bring the best chance of seeing some severe weather.

And probably a little heavier rain.

65.

I don't think a lot of it squeezes into the St. Louis area.

And certainly not points north.

Still some showers and thunderstorms around Wednesday night.

Thursday, a mix of clouds and sunshine.

Keeping the chance of a couple of showers and thunderstorms.

But a lot of dry time on Thursday.

71 degrees.

Friday, partly sunny, warm and humid.

80.

Some spot thunderstorms.

Also a lot of dry time on Friday.

There will be a cold front coming in.

So it will turn colder.

Nothing weird.

Maybe 10, 20 degrees colder than where we are now.

Which is just fine.

It is a spring pattern.

Do not expect this to be raining all the time.

It's not like a November or December rain.

Spring rain.

80 is going to feel weird.

Especially with the humidity.

I think you're really going to notice the humidity over the next couple of days.

All right.

There you go.

There you have it right.

Okay.

You guys remember alligator alcatraz?

Oh, I know this story.

I know this story.

So there are newly released documents obtained by the Florida Tribune.

Records show that the DeSantis administration saw a $1.49 billion federal grant

to support the detention complex.

And they were burning through more than a million dollars a day to run it.

Daily cost hit as much as $3 million in its early weeks.

I know there's another part to this story.

What's that?

They were also refused federal money.

What do you mean to pay for that?

They thought the federal government was going to pay for that.

And now I think Florida is on the hook.

Oh, hell.

Million dollars a day.

I'm pretty sure that that's that was like maybe late last week or over the weekend

that alligator alley was supposed to receive federal funding.

And they were just refused that essentially like up.

Yeah.

Good luck to you.

Is that still an operation?

That's a good question.

Did they just abandon the whole thing?

Because I haven't heard about it in the news.

Yeah, I thought they walked away from it.
