Friends Frank Radio quick again. Liz Callaway, Nick Summers, picking up your wake up with news, opinion, and insight every weekday morning on Talk 94.5 106.7.

SPEAKER_12 0:18

607 on the Liz Callaway Show with Nick Summers. Welcome to MegaForks to be with you.

SPEAKER_13 0:27

No, I don't have a lift, but I used to.

SPEAKER_05 0:31

So the cow. It's another picture of a cow. This is on X. The farm animals have gone insane. Thank you, Google Maps, for protecting the cow's privacy. And it blurs out the space. Dog might need someone's homework later. I don't know yet. I mean, these people are insane.

SPEAKER_13 0:51

That's funny. Brilliance. It is. And you know what? It made us laugh. It did. Yep.

SPEAKER_04 0:59

I mean, you have to read these things.

SPEAKER_12 1:01

And they swear at one another. There's a deer. And he said, I see headlights. B R B. That is so only this little deer is so cute. He wrote, Don't hit me.

SPEAKER_05 1:24

Human just looked at me, explained to myself.

SPEAKER_13 1:30

I can't. I can't. It's so funny. Oh, you know what? I need a good laugh.

SPEAKER_12 1:40

Anyway.

SPEAKER_05 1:40

And they're I gotta be honest with you. Yeah. It's not necessarily. Yeah, I would I wouldn't necessarily show all the posts for the kids. Because they get pretty much. No, it's not.

SPEAKER_13 1:52

Well, like his his did you read his description?

SPEAKER_05 1:56

Which one? The cow or the llama?

SPEAKER_13 1:58

The llama.

SPEAKER_05 1:58

Oh no.

SPEAKER_13 1:59

He said, I'm ugly and I'm rude and I hate everything. Sometimes I spit on that thing.

SPEAKER_05 2:07

The llama. Bring back the hot to a girl. Dear. Big truck speeding towards me. What that mean? Cow. Here's what the cow said. Dog barking like we care what he has to say. I mean, humans are cute when they think they're alone.

SPEAKER_12 2:28

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_05 2:30

These are not, yeah, it's just you can't follow the whole farm because it'll just clog up your timeline.

SPEAKER_12 2:35

Oh, I'd rather.

SPEAKER_05 2:36

Well, that's what people are saying. The animal tweets have healed X.

SPEAKER_12 2:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 2:41

It's just, it's really funny. And the farmer is literally like that cop on Valium in the background going, stop, stop. Because, you know, I mean, that's his role.

SPEAKER_13 2:50

But yeah, it's just, you know, the farm animals keep tweeting.

SPEAKER_05 2:53

Right. I'm going to take away everyone's internet. And then I think it was the llama. Somebody said that's taxation without representation. It's funny. All right. I know. The world's burning and we're talking about animals.

SPEAKER_13 3:04

Yeah, but speaking of animals, um, years and years and years and years and years ago, I'm talking, let's see, 1987-ish. No, 88. Let's say 88. I was working in media on a beeper. A story would pop up. They'd send me out. I was the newsstringer with a camera. And I had to go cover the story of this Hispanic male who died suddenly after cleaning out the warehouse of some business. And it turned out he died of hantivirus. And we were like, what is that? And that's a virus that you inhale from the dust of mouse poop. So people who have like mice or rats or something like that, and you're sweeping up, right? You're cleaning out something. I that's why, like, you know, you can have mice in your attic. You know, this is a very serious, deadly thing. That's why you can't, they carry deadly diseases. Well, did you hear what happened on this cruise ship?

SPEAKER_05 4:19

I want to say a couple people got really sick, maybe died, right?

SPEAKER_13 4:22

Three people died, and six people were heavily impacted. Now, I don't know where these mice were or how they contracted hantivirus. We've had a couple of cases that were very high profile over the last couple of years, and it kind of came back on the map, and a lot of people never heard of hantivirus. But when you are working the media, you hear about a lot of stuff. So I always say I have a lot of useless information in my head because some things, some things you never forget. It's just a story you just never forget. And you're like, Did you know this could happen? And you're like, really? Well, yeah. So um now this wasn't a very famous cruise ship. This is like one of those off smaller brands that was like, I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 5:15

Is it like Bob's Economy Cruising?

SPEAKER_13 5:17

Yeah, it's something like that. It's not it looks like a tugboat, honestly. But I know it's bigger than that. I don't know how many people are on this boat, but um, I'll tell you one thing. I would never go on that boat in the Atlantic Ocean because it's that small. Yeah, it's like that small. Um, but yeah, uh what is this called? The Honduis. Honduis. Hundreds. Um yeah, so that's kind of scary. Do they have rats and mice on board?

SPEAKER_05 5:48

I would imagine that yes, they get on there, and then it's just a matter of how many and if they're multiplying, and so it left a country named Ushuaia.

SPEAKER_13 5:58

Never heard of it, but it's in Argentina. And according to marine traffic, it's identified as a Dutch uh passenger ship. It made stops in Antarctica and the British overseas territory of St. Helena before anchoring in Praia Praia, the capital of Cap Cape Verde in A South Africa. Like this boat carries 170 people and 71 crew members and one doctor. So is there a chance of this happening on a large cruise ship? Because people freak out, right? You can catch a lot of diseases on a cruise ship.

SPEAKER_05 6:40

It's uh floating, yeah.

SPEAKER_13 6:44

Speaking of petri dishes, what you got? Jim Clyburn's district.

SPEAKER_05 6:47

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_13 6:48

That's an experiment. No one wants to inhale.

SPEAKER_05 6:51

I again, listen, you have to just take a look. What has he done for his district?

SPEAKER_13 6:55

Well, we know nothing.

SPEAKER_05 6:56

It's continued to further down the slide of impoverishment.

SPEAKER_13 7:00

But somehow he keeps getting elected in 1993. Right. And you know how? How many years is that? You know how, because white man bad. Is that 32 years? He's too long. Good at math and stuff.

SPEAKER_05 7:12

Well, do you want to hear what former representative Adam Morgan said? Yeah. Okay, so the redistricting thing, as we know, SCOTUS, they made the right decision. You cannot base anything on race, whether it's for this color or that color, and that is the right call. And that's not what the founding fathers ever had in mind. It's nonsense. And it if you take race out of the equation for the left, there's nothing left to argue about. Right? Right. Because they want to sow the seeds of division. Yeah. So, and that's how clown what's his name? One Clyburn. Mm-hmm. Clown Clyburn, same thing. You know, Nancy Pelosi. Yeah, Clownburn. That works. So Adam Morgan, who you interviewed here on the air on this show. Um I forgot why. He had some I think he was running again. Or no, no, no.

SPEAKER_13 8:00

No, no. He had some old tweet that resurfaced, and I forgot what it was about, but it made like national.

SPEAKER_05 8:05

It did. It was pretty good, actually. Uh and and it so he was on own uh one America. Sorry. Hello.

SPEAKER_13 8:12

Rick Kaplan is not coming today.

SPEAKER_05 8:14

Oh, so you rang the bell for him. No. Every time a bell is rung, an angel gets his wings. Even a canine angel. I get it. I see what you did. Wow. Nick, you are fast. Yeah, and not bad for a month.

SPEAKER_13 8:26

I forgot he rescheduled.

SPEAKER_05 8:27

Okay.

SPEAKER_13 8:28

He rescheduled for um Thursday.

SPEAKER_05 8:31

So there was push to redistrict here in South Carolina. Basically, get rid of that freebie. As we talked about with the guy who wrote the book, what's his name? Keith Everett Ellison? Yeah. No. No. I always forget. What's his name? Vincent Everett Ellison. Where do I get Keith from? I don't know. Keith Richards, probably. Rolling Stones. There's a tie-in somewhere. And he wrote the book, said, listen, it's it's like a it's an open secret. That district was given to him.

SPEAKER_01 8:55

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_05 8:56

And and all because of they put it under the guise of race. And we've all seen the gerrymandering on both sides, but the Democrats, their gerrymandering, I mean, it looks like a really bad what's that test that you have to take? The ink, the ink blots, Rorschach test?

SPEAKER_06 9:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 9:10

They look really bad, like that. So it was brought up in South Carolina to get rid of this thing. And there was a lot of pushback, and nobody knows why. But it started picking up steam, and a lot of representatives and senators, state, state level, were getting phone calls. And then it got to the lieutenant governor and the governor, and they both put out a tweet saying, Yeah, this is something we need to look at. So they're on board. However, there's only one guy not on board, so it's not going to go anywhere. Listen to his little clip, his hit on own over the weekend. I think it was Friday evening.

SPEAKER_00 9:44

Well, the tides are turning. Uh, just a few hours ago, every member of the establishment told us that they were not going to be redistricting. That's sorry, they're just not interested. And by the way, we have a Republican supermajority in South Carolina, and then we have Jim Clyburn, one of the lead Democrats, one of Pelosi's biggest allies, who sits in a very racist, race-based district right in the lower part of South Carolina. We all know it was drawn based on that, and yet, even after the Supreme Court says, hey, it's unconstitutional, it's racist, you guys gotta redrawn. Republican establishment says they don't want to, so we've been hammering them, and now the governor has come out and said, Oh, actually, instead of being opposed, maybe we should look at it. Now we're finding out that the House has flipped, and they're for it now. And there's really only one holdout, and it's uh the majority leader in the Senate, uh, Shane Massey. Uh he's kind of the last one blocking it, and if uh the people let their voices be heard, I think we're gonna finally write this wrong. I mean, let's let's be honest, why does this matter? It's really not even about control of some chamber. It's racist. We have we have districts that were drawn blatantly in a racist way. Are we gonna write the wrong in this country finally, or are we gonna forever, you know, keep racism alive and well and telling the next generation that it's fine?

SPEAKER_13 11:08

Can I just tell you that my conversation with Vince Everett Ellison was a very important thing?

SPEAKER_05 11:14

Keith Ellison, by the way, was the one from Minnesota. I messed up. Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_13 11:18

Listen, if I remember correctly, Vince Everett Ellison ran in that district against Clyburn and lost and found out and retraced everything back. And it was a deal that the slimy Republicans made with Clyburn. That's right. You stay in your little district and you could be king forever, and we will make it that way, and you will be happy, and you will leave us the blank alone. And it was a deal they made with the Dem Democrat devil, and that's why it exists. Now that's what now Vince Everett Ellison always came on here with receipts. Always. And he always had the proof. The universe. And he wrote, he wrote books, he's he's an author. I haven't had him on in a while. I should have him on. But remember what this guy just said. He said, How did this happen in a strong, like supermajority?

SPEAKER_05 12:22

Maybe he's unaware.

SPEAKER_13 12:23

That's what I'm trying to say. Because it doesn't make sense until it does.

SPEAKER_06 12:28

Right.

SPEAKER_13 12:28

It was a deal that was made. Okay, we'll give you this token district because we don't care what happens in your district. It's all black. That's what they're saying, right? They're saying, here, you want your people, here, we're gonna make it so you always win and never get challenged. And Vince Everett Ellison said, here I am, a conservative black candidate, and I can't get any money from the conservative Republican GOP, like he's ignored. And remember, we interviewed many conservative black candidates that can't get GOP support because they think they're gonna go into a solid blue district and flip it because they're black, they're conservative, they're they're talking about change. And remember that um that candidate Kimberly Klasic walking with her high heels through the poor Baltimore neighborhood. I do. And she pointed everything out. She said, I can't get any money from the GOP. They don't want me to win.

SPEAKER_05 13:35

Again, Uniparty. It's they all have backroom deals.

SPEAKER_13 13:40

It's not Republican, it's not super majority Republican, and now I understand when Governor Nikki Haley was governor, she said, I spent a few days or a few hours with that legislature, and I have to take a shower. It's so disgusting. That's what she said. I have to shower after I leave the legislature because it's so disgusting.

SPEAKER_05 14:01

Henry McMaster. Yes, our governor, he did tweet this out later on Friday and said the U.S. Supreme Court upheld South Carolina's current congressional map in 2024. In light of the court's most recent decision on the Voting Rights Act, it would be appropriate for the General Assembly to ensure that South Carolina's congressional map still complies with all the requirements of federal law and the U.S. Constitution. Every state legislature, and then we'll go to Trump, we can then allow there to be an election that is conducted unconstitutionally simply for the convenience of state legislatures. If they have to vote twice, so be it. We should demand that state legislatures, he's talking about all of them in the country, uh, do what the Supreme Court says must be done. It is more important than administrative convenience. The byproduct is the Republicans will receive more than 20 House seats in the upcoming midterms. Sincerely, President Donald J. Trump. You have to understand when you ask yourself, listen, we've got so many 80-20, you know, issues out there, so they say I know it's a cliche, but it's, you know, for the most part true. How is it the Democrats are so close? It's because the Republicans want them that way. You're right. It's an agreement. We'll just change power every so often, make it look good. But the same crap keeps happening no matter who's in power.

SPEAKER_13 15:18

Yep.

SPEAKER_05 15:19

You gotta clean house. Look at Thune.

SPEAKER_13 15:22

I didn't say it. No. I mean, Vince Effort Ellison pointed it out. And look at Thune.

SPEAKER_05 15:27

How long have we had the House and the Senate? And they keep going, well, we just don't have enough votes. How is that possible? Yeah. Because they allow these ridiculous procedural things and blame it on that, but they're the ones that put them in place. They can easily get rid of them. No, we can't do that because then the Democrats will do it when they get in power. Well, if you do it now, they won't get in power.

SPEAKER_13 15:51

Mm-hmm. They don't want that. Because it's an agreement. It is an agreement with the devil.

SPEAKER_05 15:57

Thank you.

SPEAKER_13 15:58

And we are all paying for it. Yes. On the daily. We're the idiots not in their club. Exactly. And then we're like, I don't understand. Make this make sense. Trump gets it. He's mad. This is not how it works. No! This is not democracy.

SPEAKER_07 16:13

That's not how it works. That's not how any of this works.

SPEAKER_02 16:17

The Liz Callaway Show with Nick Summers, making Grand Strand Morning Radio great again.

SPEAKER_13 16:25

I just want to put a little button on this. May the fourth be with you. I like the Nana Monday. It's good. I should I should wake up to that every inspiring score.

SPEAKER_05 16:40

See, well, yeah, it is, but it doesn't really necessarily fit you. What?

SPEAKER_13 16:45

No. No. What do you think that music means to you?

SPEAKER_05 16:50

Uh it just reminds me of being a kid, seeing it in the theater. My mom dropped me off. Back in the day when you were eight years old, you'd go to the theater.

SPEAKER_13 16:58

What does it mean to you, though? It's like a mind-opening song. Like it's like It's just It's like going to the frontier where nobody's been like blazing a trail. Duh.

SPEAKER_05 17:10

To me, it just means epic superhero.

SPEAKER_13 17:13

Exactly.

SPEAKER_05 17:14

Right.

SPEAKER_13 17:14

That's what you should wake up with every morning.

SPEAKER_05 17:16

No, but this is more your style. I'm waiting for it.

SPEAKER_13 17:21

Silence? Yeah. You're pretty much accurate on that.

SPEAKER_05 17:24

Yes.

SPEAKER_13 17:25

Radio silence. Yeah. Yeah. That's inspirational for me.

SPEAKER_05 17:28

No, I wonder why it didn't work. That's weird.

SPEAKER_13 17:31

Hmm. Exactly. Well, I guess. Misfire. Misfire radio silence. Thank you, Nikki. Now I know how you really think about me.

SPEAKER_04 17:39

Oh, it's really weird how it didn't go when it was supposed to. That makes me wonder.

SPEAKER_13 17:44

It's misfire, radio silence. Okay. Just to put a button on this district six thing. Um here's you have to understand what Vince Everett Ellison was saying. And I've never changed my mind about it because it makes sense. So the Republicans made a deal, he says, with the Clyburn uh district, District 6. They put all they made it so there were a lot of black people in that one district. And they said by doing that, it guarantees that the minority voice will be heard from the state.

SPEAKER_05 18:25

But that's assuming things not in evidence, Your Honor.

SPEAKER_13 18:28

Well, I'm just saying. So if you uh guarantee that a Democrat will be elected in a highly supposedly super red state, deep red, which we believe it's not, it's a it's a farce. Um so if you do that, then Republicans will always be king, but Clyburn will always be king of that district, which will always and so will the other candidates that run in district six because it it f filters down to county and school districts, right? Because district six is the same. Like across the board, it matches the local election. So it's not just for Congress, it's for the school board, the county. So when you make it like that, it guarantees that there will be a Democrat um voice of color, okay, in the legislature and in local and county government, okay? That's why they say they did it. But it also, you know what it also does? On the flip side, for Republicans, it makes their districts less competitive. Because if you cut up District Six, watch what you wish for here. When you cut it up, you spread it around. It's kind of like what people say about biopsying. You know, you don't want to ever biopsy a cancer because they say it spreads the cancer around. You know, did you ever hear that? It loosens up the cells and the bloodstream. A lot of people believe that to be true. I don't know if it's true.

SPEAKER_05 20:09

They told us that. Then when they opened him up, they saw the cancer and they closed him up quick. It had hit air and metastasized. That's what they say dead a short time later.

SPEAKER_13 20:18

That's what they say. I was fine. So if you cut up the cancer of Jim Clyburn of who he is, because he's not telling his people the truth. And I feel bad for the people that live in that district. It has declined since 1993. And Vince Everett Ellison listed all the ways it has declined.

SPEAKER_05 20:43

And you have to understand, and uh Vincent Everett Ellison also pointed out, way above or below, depending on your point of view, the national average. You have to factor in, you know, as the country goes, it you know, it swings. This thing has progressively gone downhill and beat national averages, all trending South.

SPEAKER_13 21:01

Not only national averages, but South Carolina averages.

SPEAKER_05 21:06

Property, you know, your property values, all of it. So what have you done for me lately, Clyber? No, but he's gotten really rich.

SPEAKER_13 21:14

So back to um the point is if you cut up the district six, you end up making the neighboring districts more competitive because now you have more people voting Democrat in other districts. So the way it's redistrict, it's guaranteed to stay in that one capsule. So watch what you wish for.

SPEAKER_05 21:40

He's losing ground though.

SPEAKER_13 21:41

Who, Clyburn?

SPEAKER_05 21:42

Yeah. He he peaked at 68% and went down in the last election to 62% voting for him. So I mean it's unemployment.

SPEAKER_13 21:51

Okay. Um median house income income is fifty seven thousand dollars a year. South Carolina. Averages 72,000. The U.S. average is 80,000. Per capita income is just 34,000. Who can live on that? What's wrong with me? So you're living in poverty. Um, 29% have a bachelor's degree. 34% is the U.S. average. 12% do not have a high school diploma. This is all in District 6.

SPEAKER_06 22:23

Wow.

SPEAKER_13 22:24

Their education testing is below national average. Only 59% own a home. And the average home is$213,000. And um they're saying that he uh that uh Clyburn had a role in getting funding for hospitals in the area, broadband expend expansion, um, infrastructure, and money for SC State, the historically bat block black college university um structure there. So it says here, as a top Democrat, Clyburn brings outsized influence to a poor district. Usually poor rural areas don't have that level of clout. So why hasn't he been able to able to do anything of value? That's my point. What has the clout meant for this district?

SPEAKER_05 23:28

Nothing. What have you done for me lately since 1993? The answer is nothing, but I guarantee your bank account looks great.

SPEAKER_13 23:36

There's a uh uh an economic surge in the upstate, Greenville and Spartanburg, upsurge in um the coast from Charleston to Myrtle. No surge in District 6 because they're on the mushroom farm. Yeah, they're fed crap, yeah, and they're kept in the dark, and they like it that way. And he runs on racing.

SPEAKER_05 24:00

You know, old Whitey's gonna get you, you gotta keep me in power, or they're gonna take away everything you have. They don't even realize what they don't have. Yeah.

SPEAKER_13 24:07

I mean, it sounds stupid, but it's that's really what it is. It says here, District 6 was intentionally drawn to group poorer rural black communities together. Intentionally drawn by whom? This doesn't say by whom, but it was intentionally drawn to give them a voice or to make Republicans less uh challenged in the neighboring districts. Because when you cut it all up and you move it all around and spread it out evenly, those districts districts become more challenging for Republicans to win. So it was a deal made with the devil to keep people down and keep them king of their districts. That's what it was. I believe that that that's what evidence Everett Ellison has surmised from his running in that district and the lack of support of the GOP.

SPEAKER_05 25:05

And we've seen it in other races across the country when the GOP is strangely silent under Mitch McConnell.

SPEAKER_13 25:13

They're undereducated, underemployed, hold that hold back money, poverty. How is that? How are you a good congressman if you're doing that?

SPEAKER_05 25:21

That doesn't matter to him because he's there for the brown voices. I got your back. That's such a lie.

SPEAKER_13 25:31

I can't stand that guy. Thank you. And plus he got Biden elected, so that's a double whammy. And Kamala Harris. Yeah, but why is someone Yeah, that's right, as V VP and as candidate, but why? If you're gonna be constantly proven wrong, how do you keep staying in power? I don't get it.

SPEAKER_05 25:51

Well, this this is where you have a derelict media. If they were truly reporting on everything, and if they did listen, you and I did what? A lot of this from memory, from the interviews that we've had, and a little research. I looked up the statistics and so did you. It took us 10 minutes. If the media would be honest and report all of that, well, you've been in power since 1993, and so much of your district has gone south, never improving, a constant, steady decline. Right. That's a fact. Constant steady decline. If the media reported that and asked him that question on local ABC, CBS, you know, whatever, maybe more people would listen. They don't. It's not reported that way. The questions he always gets, how do you feel when that white congressman said what he said about you and your district? You know, and then he gets them all rattled up. Well, it's always race. They go to race. No, no, sir. You people always go to race.

SPEAKER_04 26:49

Always.

SPEAKER_13 26:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 26:52

You're keeping racism alive.

SPEAKER_13 26:54

It is true.

SPEAKER_05 26:55

You are.

SPEAKER_13 26:56

I feel that way that it's true.

SPEAKER_05 26:57

You don't you don't allow people with different points of view that to speak out of the world? Not only that, like she said, you don't have you don't speak for us because you don't speak with a brown voice. What does that mean?

SPEAKER_13 27:07

Or you're not black enough if you don't vote for them. So who's keeping racism alive? Exactly. And listen, not only race, but I'm a woman. And I and I have I've I've noted challenges. It's a man's world, right? I listen. But I navigated them. I overcame them. I went through obstacles, over them, around them.

SPEAKER_05 27:31

Rugged individualism.

SPEAKER_13 27:33

You just gotta just, you know, buckle up and do it. No one is legally able to stop you, although there are a lot of backroom deals and conversations that thwart you, but you can still win, you know when you're good enough. When you're good enough, you're gonna win no matter what. That is the name of the game. And I would never want to be handed anything just because of my chromosomes. I don't want that job. If that's the reason why, the only reason, because I'm black and I'm female, or I'm a female, like that no, pick me on my merit. That's that's more important. And it withstands the test of time. Kamala Harris, case in point. Alright. Listen, text us on the budget blinds text line if you want to come Wednesday to our party. Can you put Chrissy down for two? She just texted me. Got it. 843-798-talk 798-8255-530 p.m. Voodoo Burring Company. We'll play the promo. You'll get all the deets. Uh we'll be back in a moment. What's a deet? Yeah, no, it's short. I don't want to be schnazzy. Schnazzy. Seven years, seven years itch schnazzy.

SPEAKER_05 28:51

I need to get you like an itch-proof shirt or something.

SPEAKER_13 28:54

I know, I don't like itchy shirts.

SPEAKER_06 28:58

This is the Liz Calatio with Nick Summers.

SPEAKER_05 29:22

As soon as you lock in, I hear the dinging of the door. Everybody, everybody! This finger is here. As far as anyone knows. Liz is here.

SPEAKER_13 35:10

No, it's not me. I tried to embody it, but it's not me. It's more like the other thing is more like me. You know, um, I was listening to um I what was I listening to? I don't remember. Oh yeah, I was listening to a podcast. I love watching podcasts when I'm doing things like are uh, I don't know, on a treadmill or in a car ride. And I was listening to this lady who was talking about how your brain works when um how there's a lot of differences in people, right? So if you let's say, like, let's take somebody like Trump, right? Who is always reinventing himself, always doing something different, always up for the next challenge. We watch him and get exhausted. And some of us know people like that that are always on to the next thing. And you wonder why do they do that? Why can they just you're you got 11 billion dollars? You know, whatever it was. Can't you just buy an island somewhere and chill? Totally not in the DNA. Totally not, right? So then you have other people that can easily do that, right? They can easily just and they don't need a billion dollars. They don't even need a million dollars. But they can say, you know what? I'm complacent with where I am, let's just slow and steady to the end of this race. And they just stay in the same house forever and ever, right, till death do you part, and they just do the same thing and hate change, don't like challenges, don't like to be out of their comfort zone, and we know people like that too.

SPEAKER_05 37:06

You've just I'll put it, I'll oversimplify it. This is why every so often a woman will look at the furniture in the living room and say, We need to rearrange. And the guy will go, Why? It makes perfect sense where it is.

SPEAKER_13 37:20

Exactly.

SPEAKER_05 37:21

And it will start a world war uh what do we have to talk about?

SPEAKER_13 37:24

And a cascade of other uh things.

SPEAKER_05 37:26

I mean, ask Elon Omar, maybe twelve, World War 15, somewhere in there. But no, seriously. I mean, to oversimplify it, that's really what it is. You're right. So women do like to have, in general, a little change.

SPEAKER_13 37:38

So, I mean, if if I think back and I started me thinking, uh, because Javier is more of a creature of habit than I am, and he's like, I don't understand why you're just never satisfied. Like I mean, he hasn't said that to me, but essentially he you know, he's like, Why do you always have to take the snow globe and shake it up?

unknown 38:01

You know?

SPEAKER_13 38:01

It's like can't you just let it lay there? Everybody's happy, everybody's smiling in the globe, and no, you need to take it and shake it. Why? Why? Yeah, that's what happens. Um, and so I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but I came to that epiphany for some reason. Like, you know, everything is fine. What what are you doing? But it's not fine because I need it, you know, I need it to be I think I can make it better, I think I can make it happier, I think I can do it, but sometimes you know, the grass isn't always greener on the other side. And so, and there are other people, because I was having this conversation about my son. I'm like, you know, he's so slow to make changes that are necessary in his life. It makes me crazy. So, like, if you're not happy, why do you stay not happy for two years? Why do you till it fall literally is about to fall off the cliff? Like the front two tires are off the cliff, and then you're like, okay, I need to change. Like I am so not that person. It's like I don't know what kind of person you are, Nick.

SPEAKER_05 39:19

Um certain things, I am a creature of habit.

SPEAKER_13 39:22

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_05 39:23

A schedule thing, you know, and that could could be from growing up with my father, Marine Corvette. Uh and that, of course.

SPEAKER_13 39:30

There's comfort in discipline and order.

SPEAKER_05 39:32

There is, and I find comfort in discipline and order too, and it's really it's a strain on my psyche.

SPEAKER_13 39:37

But war is not like that.

SPEAKER_05 39:38

No, no, no, no, but it's the all the preparation for everything is rehearsed, practice, timing, timing, timing.

SPEAKER_13 39:44

But you're also told when to eat, sleep, and yeah, there is that. But it takes a lot of thinking out of a lot of things.

SPEAKER_05 39:50

It does. But when you when you get back to and listen, I'm not pretending anything here. I was in for two years, okay? But it stuck with me. That coupled with, you know, the way I was raised with my father. And it's, you know, there is a you must be on time for everything. And by on time, I am generally a half hour at the latest, 15 minutes for anything before anything is scheduled. If I have to be there at four, guaranteed I'm there at 3:30. Sometimes I'm obscenely early, like three. And it's at four.

SPEAKER_06 40:22

Right.

SPEAKER_05 40:23

That's just me. Because I'm always planning for what if something happens. I want to have the time.

SPEAKER_13 40:29

Just in case.

SPEAKER_05 40:30

You know, some of that also came from the road, being on the road with the band.

SPEAKER_13 40:34

And it's like, you know, there were certainly You only have to be burned once to be triple prepared.

SPEAKER_05 40:39

There were certain stage managers at the venue that we were at that we turned the lights on whether you're ready or not. You better be playing something at nine o'clock. And we had guys in the band that just, I mean, I don't know what it is. They just all the time, it's like, we have five minutes. Why are you starting that now? I'm looking at him and said, it's the drummer, and I swear I look at him, and there's like jewel coming out of the side of his mouth. You know, I mean, he's a drummer, first of all. Ooh, me hit things for a living, or you know, caveman, fire good. Like an animal in the muffin. Yeah, kinda. And I just get so frustrated because it's like, well, you had all day to do that. Why are you starting that now? We all we're on in five minutes. Yeah. You know, and he's like resetting something up in his kit or you know, tuning a change. Yeah, it's like you knucklehead. So I took long answer to your short question. I am a creature of habit to a certain degree, but there are because I am highly creative, what do they call that? Left brain. I push myself in other areas, and it's usually music related.

SPEAKER_06 41:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 41:41

If I need to break out of my doldrums, get up at this time, do this at this time, be on the air at this time, I will expand my horizons with my instrument.

SPEAKER_13 41:50

That's the answer because I I've not been paying attention pay paying attention to the creative side.

SPEAKER_05 41:58

Like I used to. Maybe. I used to nurture that.

SPEAKER_13 42:02

Yeah.

unknown 42:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13 42:03

And so now my little songs But it takes energy, and I didn't have any, but now I'm better.

SPEAKER_05 42:07

Like, are like stagers for the for the show. You'll come up with something, and I take the reins and I go. And I come up with something really cool that I think is cool. Yeah. With all these little elements, but still have it. You know, that's those are my little songs.

SPEAKER_13 42:19

Right. You know what I mean? I know what you mean.

SPEAKER_05 42:21

Because I have less time at home to do my songs.

SPEAKER_13 42:25

You know, it does take time.

SPEAKER_05 42:27

Yeah, diapers and creativeness takes time. It does.

SPEAKER_13 42:30

It needs to be nurtured. It's a it's a muscle.

SPEAKER_05 42:33

But I'm still on it.

SPEAKER_13 42:34

You know, if you don't use it, you lose it, you lose the edge. You know, when you're in the midst of, let's say, a tour like you were on, and then you stop. It takes a long time to get those jets warmed up again.

SPEAKER_05 42:48

Well, and this is why a lot of musicians turn to substance abuse. Because their life is go, go, go, go, go, go, go. And that that adulation. They miss that. And that high, that contact high edge from the audience. And I don't mean drugs, I mean the power, the excitement, the energy. And now you're home. I don't have to, I don't have to be at the hotel at this time. I don't have to be at the sound check. Yeah. I don't have to be at this radio station.

SPEAKER_13 43:11

Well, you should be happy about that, because you get time off.

SPEAKER_05 43:14

Their brains are wired different. I know what that feels like.

SPEAKER_13 43:18

That push.

SPEAKER_05 43:19

I'd get off a three-month tour and I'd be like, okay, now what?

SPEAKER_13 43:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 43:23

And it drove me insane.

SPEAKER_13 43:25

You know, like why would Trump run a run again in 2024? Why did he do it? Because it's the after all the, you know, he's dodging bullets, he's, you know, dodging court arrests.

SPEAKER_05 43:37

You know, it's turned he's turned this into a mission to fix this nation before he dies. It's crazy. I truly believe that.

SPEAKER_13 43:44

Sounds crazy, right?

SPEAKER_05 43:45

Because for decades he's been telling us we're doing this wrong, we're doing this wrong. Can't believe you're doing this again. We gotta do it this way for decades. And now he has the chance to do it. And he's being hampered and hamstrung by who? His own party.

SPEAKER_13 44:00

Yeah. Oh, and that's what makes us mad. All right. Well, anyway, that uh inward uh view was brought to you by her Darth Lizzie.

SPEAKER_12 44:16

Darth Lizzie.

SPEAKER_02 44:18
