SPEAKER_01 0:10

Welcome to the Andy Meadows Show. We've got a good roundtable coming up where we'll discuss my misadventures with the kids, Brittany Spears DUI, a Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg Dream Ticket, Brain Super Agers, a female Airbnb host snitching on a cheater, Jim Carrey's clone, the Frisco King, and more. But first, your headlines. Trump back Republican Clayton Fuller and Sean Harris, a Democrat and retired Army officer, are headed to a runoff in a Georgia special election to fill the seat of former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who committed the sin of growing a backbone after reading the Epstein files.

SPEAKER_02 0:53

Hmm.

SPEAKER_01 0:54

Turns out the world's run by a bunch of pervs. One new study suggests that when given the choice between the two, most people actually prefer AI riders over human riders, not surprising really. Do you prefer something written by a supercomputer trained on everything ever written, or something written by a dude at Starbucks with a laptop? It's day twelve of the military conflict in Iran that is definitely not a war, unless you ask anyone outside of Trump's cabinet or the president himself. Day twelve means we've entered the phase where we've switched from firing missiles that cost taxpayers 500 grand each to ones that cost 50k each. Fill up your gas tanks, folks. That commute's about to get really expensive. Speaking of missiles, North Korean leader and Bulls fan Kim Jong-un watched a cruise missile test with his daughter this week. Bring your kids to work day hits a little different for dictators. Want to see Daddy blow something up? On a brighter note, there's an extraordinary wildflower super bloom going on right now in Death Valley National Park. The once-in-a-decade display was brought on by ideal weather conditions, including well-timed rains and gentle winds that stimulated the vibrant bloom, much to the delight of everyone who traveled there to drop shrooms.

SPEAKER_00 2:13

Can't make breakfast and then go poop. You won't be ready for your showtime, so go do your show and then it's all about the poop. I have a very specific morning ritual, so I'm here, you man.

SPEAKER_01 2:27

I'm all about the routines. Please welcome to the round table. A man who people used to think was my older brother until I started aging rapidly. Now no one ever guesses that.

SPEAKER_00 2:40

That's true. Some people wonder if we have different parents.

SPEAKER_01 2:48

Oh, look at you contributing with the hot buttons.

SPEAKER_00 2:52

That's that's too much. Stop it.

SPEAKER_01 2:56

Uh yeah, no, I'm all about the routines too. And uh, in that my kids got that same thing. That's mine. That's all mine.

SPEAKER_00 3:05

I was gonna say that's enough of that.

SPEAKER_01 3:08

Dude, this has been a hell of a week for kid adventures. Oh, yeah? The grocery store. Uh I was busy not paying attention for five seconds. Because Annie lulls you into a false sense of security because she's bigger than your average two and a half year old.

SPEAKER_00 3:27

It was just like, oh, she's she's doing okay. She's good.

SPEAKER_01 3:31

She's fine. Follow me to the whole store, no shenanigans, doesn't grab anything off the shelves or whatever. She's really good. Then we get on the parking lot and I realize I left my candle, which these are awesome candles. They're not paying us, but Southern Gentleman candles. I left I left that in the uh in the in the store. So I'm like, oh crap. I'm looking down for 0.2 seconds and she's out in the area where the cars drive by.

SPEAKER_00 3:59

Oh yeah. Parking lot?

unknown 4:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:01

No, in front of the not the parking lot, but where they're actually driving. Yeah. But luckily, some lady goes, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And I looked up and saw and ran in. Because she's small enough that you wouldn't see her. But she does have she is cognizant enough to know, like, because when we're walking and there's a car, she she tenses up and knows. So I don't think she'd have gotten run over, but it was still freaking scary as all get out.

SPEAKER_00 4:25

Yeah, you can't guarantee that because what if she's looking the other way?

SPEAKER_02 4:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:29

And it's an electric car, dude. Nowadays, electric cars are gonna run you over so bad.

SPEAKER_01 4:34

Man, when those first came out, I saw s I I saw somebody get hit in downtown Fort Worth, and I heard about so many people getting hit because we're we're just accustomed to the gas engine and hearing that noise. So just subconsciously, you're like, not even look. Oh, everything's clear. Yeah. Scary, scary stuff. Look, the person I saw get hit, ended up being okay. Oh, and the other this one was really frustrating. We went to Rosa's. I took both the girls because I thought, well, I can hit the drive-thru, so I can manage this. And they didn't start serving lunch until 10.30. I'd been up since four, so I wanted lunch. So I was like, I pulled it in the drive-through at 1025. They're like, ah, we're not serving lunch yet. So I was like, surely I can handle them for five minutes inside. So I take them inside, and I they didn't have the chairs to contain them, so I just set them at a table. I said, just stay here. And they they did. They didn't do anything, they stayed there. I'm like, cool, I can go get a soft drink. I turn around again, maybe five seconds. Madeline has taken everything off the table, broken the salt shaker on the ground, the pepper shaker on the ground, broken the hand, the napkin holder. The people there were really sweet. They were like, Oh, it happens, but you could tell they were pretty annoyed.

SPEAKER_00 5:56

Yeah, of course they're annoyed at you. Pay attention to your kids, dude. Breaking their inventory is not did you pay for it? What is a salt shaker, like a buck?

SPEAKER_01 6:06

I offered to, but they were like, Yeah. I mean, they can't be a lot. Number one, I spent$50 on frickin' food for like we talked about last week for just a couple of us. So but yeah, I offered to, but they were cool.

SPEAKER_00 6:19

But also, I mean, if you're about to serve lunch and they're like, no, sorry, five minutes too early, like, what's the difference? Just cook something up for you.

SPEAKER_01 6:27

Well, the excuse they all have now, and you see it literally flip, they can't the monitors flip to lunch right at 10 30. So I don't like the computer's eleven.

SPEAKER_00 6:38

The computer doesn't even let them put in, I want a taco right now instead of breakfast. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:44

Which was a corporate decision because they were their employees were like, dude, I'll just give them a taco, man. I mean, it's it's one minute. Because that's why I was containing my rage because I was frustrated, like, I really have to sit here and wait five minutes to order a taco so you can switch over. But yeah, that's how it works. Annoying. Did you uh what what happened? What'd y'all get into this week?

SPEAKER_00 7:07

What did we get into? I mean it's been a pretty quiet week here. I don't have little ones running around and destroying things. It's been snowy, which is less fun because this is the time when you're like, all right, I'm done with this. This is enough of the winter. But we still got two more months of it, so that's fun.

SPEAKER_01 7:25

Isn't there like a fake thaw or where you think it's gonna break up and it's not actually starting to break up yet?

SPEAKER_00 7:31

Yeah, I mean it it we have not had the warm-up this year. It's been very cold and then it's been snowy, and then it goes back to cold and then snowy. So Yeah.

unknown 7:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:42

This is the time in Texas where you n where if you're not paying attention, you dress wrong because we'll get it'll be 75, 80 degrees every day, and then one day it'll just be 40. And you don't realize until you walk outside and you're you're in shorts, and you're like, ah crap. Not that 40 is bad for y'all are used to. 40 you're probably in shorts.

SPEAKER_00 8:03

Yeah, 40 is awesome. It's been like three or ten below. And then, oh, yesterday it was twenty. Well, guess what? 20 means snow.

SPEAKER_01 8:12

Yeah. Did you see uh Britney Spears got arrested in Southern California for a DUI? Um, I did see that. I'm not shocked. But is this why you were against the free Britney movement?

SPEAKER_00 8:27

Hey, I never said I was against the free Britney movement.

SPEAKER_01 8:30

I just said she clearly needs help. I distinctly remember you saying, I think the dad made some good points. Didn't you say that?

SPEAKER_00 8:39

Oh, I feel bad for her because everybody else that was that big a star is like I mean, I know she's well off. She'll she'll be fine for the rest of her life, but she could be so much richer because but they took you know they took control of everything.

SPEAKER_01 8:54

So Yeah, well, and she I mean, but clearly she makes some questionable life choices. So they probably the people that know her best were like, yeah, we need to we need to rein this in. But I mean the dad was clearly domineering and not great. But and it could be that that that taking control of everything for her up until she was forty means she's not prepared to handle stuff herself because she never had to, and you know. But yeah, rough thing. Hopefully she's alright. I'm sure she's fine. Because she create create she creates some amazing social content, I'm sure you've seen with the knives.

SPEAKER_00 9:31

Yeah, I mean that's that's what I was saying. It's like maybe it was not such a bad thing that they were like, okay, you can't post directly, you have to go through somebody, and then we vet this. Or, you know, yes, you can go out and party, but we'll provide a driver for you. Maybe a good thing.

SPEAKER_01 9:50

Yeah, it's like the first term when when Trump had somebody else reading those those social posts before he put them out. Right. Yeah. A little less uh a little less scary for the entire frickin' world. Okay, our top comment for this week. Uh there it is. Sure. Can you see it? Boom. I hope this is a joke.

unknown 10:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 10:13

What the whole show or no, so this is a part you weren't in. This is during headlines. I mentioned uh there's a rapper in Nepal running for political office, and I kind of used that to to talk about how you know it'd be cool. I would vote for an ice cube Snoop Dogg ticket. Clearly, Snoop would be the VP because he's chill and well everybody loves him, and ice cubes would more take charge in serious, and that's what this guy's replying to. Because I also said LL Cool J could be like the Secretary of State.

SPEAKER_00 10:48

I mean, Kanye was running for a while, so it happened here too, man.

SPEAKER_01 10:53

It's funny you mentioned that because I said I'm all for rappers running for political office, except for Kanye, clearly. Not the right.

SPEAKER_00 11:00

So this was by if you want a Snoop Dogg duo, there's already it's already there, dude. It's it's definitely Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg. Oh man, who would not vote for that? Yeah. Come on.

SPEAKER_01 11:12

You know she's running things, right? Yeah, and we owe her something, because I think throwing her in jail for insider trading, but every every frickin' congressperson, every politician ever does that constantly.

SPEAKER_00 11:25

Yeah. You know, like she clearly ticked off the wrong person, is all that happened there. It wasn't because of insider trading.

SPEAKER_01 11:31

Well, and the insider trading thing is always tricky because it's like if you found out a company you're invested in is going out of business in a week, I mean, who's not acting on that information? Who's like, well, I guess I'm just gonna sit there and lose that million dollars I got invested in that? You know, everybody's acting on that, right?

SPEAKER_00 11:50

I know. And it well, of course, you're gonna be like, all right, I'm gonna do it, and then we'll see if they figure it out or not.

SPEAKER_01 11:56

Yeah. So I'm with you. Definitely that's a better idea. Martha Stewart, Snoop Dogg, 2028. Let's print up the t-shirts and get that going. But no, I wasn't totally joking. I would, I mean, how's that any worse than what we have? You know, several times, you know, either side.

SPEAKER_00 12:15

It's it's back to the I don't think anybody who wants to be president should be president. There's lots of jobs where it's like you just need to give it to somebody who's good but doesn't want to do it. Like, all right, fine, I'll do it.

SPEAKER_01 12:28

Well, yeah, and that's I've gotten job offers that way. You know what I mean? Because sometimes people are like, this guy is playing hard to get thing. Like, I think that's maybe that's how we do it next time. We're only gonna you can only win the nomination if you don't want to do this job. That's right. Like, so the whole debate is this them up there going, This sounds terrible. Like, this really sucks. I don't want to do this for four years. What do you make? Like a couple hundred thousand dollars? No, it's terrible. It's four hundred grand now. It's good money.

SPEAKER_00 13:01

But not for somebody who's a billionaire. Right, not for anybody that ever runs for office anymore. I mean, they spend a billion dollars running every time now.

SPEAKER_01 13:11

So yeah, and you get your food and your lodging paid for and your travel, and you get to travel on a private jet anymore.

SPEAKER_00 13:18

Yeah, travel, but I think you I think they pay for food. Oh, yeah, that is that is a that's why Trump's always got McDonald's going in there. It's probably a brand deal. He's probably getting paid to feed the people that show up McDonald's and Chick-fil-A and stuff.

SPEAKER_01 13:34

Probably well, he I think he actually just loves fast food too.

SPEAKER_00 13:39

Yeah, but when they're like, okay, we got a state dinner, great. Call up the Mickey D's out of McC's.

SPEAKER_01 13:46

That's what's funny when the athletes go there because it's like multi-millionaires, and you see them eating these McDonald's burgers, like, really? I know you have a culinary you have a private chef here and you're breaking out the the w uh, you know, I almost said Whopper. What's the McDonald's called? The big arch this week. Yeah, I said I sound as out of touch as their CEO.

SPEAKER_00 14:11

What is this thing? This is he opened like, oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 14:15

Well, he called it a product, number one, is why people were so like, what do you mean it's a product?

SPEAKER_00 14:21

It's because it doesn't have enough beef in it to be legally called a hamburger, I think.

SPEAKER_01 14:27

But then everyone was giving crap for the bite, but it wasn't that I mean, it was definitely smaller of a bite than you would take if you were trying to eat that for your lunch. I mean it was clearly like fake. It was just kind of a nibble. Yeah. It wasn't as bad as the memes and everything made it.

SPEAKER_00 14:43

Well, what gets me is that that couldn't have been take one, right? Like they don't just go, okay, yeah, that let's go with it. Like that was the best take. Yeah, that's the least weird.

SPEAKER_01 14:53

Like the first one, he was like, oh the guy, everybody the person editing that is like, how do I make this rich guy seem uh the least amount of weird? This is I guess this is the take where he calls it a product and he takes a nibble off of it. The other cause the other one he threw it. First one he threw up. The second one he tossed it out of disgust. So we'll have to use the little bite one.

unknown 15:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:20

Yeah. But also, why is that even in his job description? He's supposed to be running the company, not hyping it, you know, on social media. Clearly, that's not his strong point. You know, you're paying the guy$20 million a year. Do you really need to waste his time doing this doing it? That's probably his attitude about it. I'm the freaking CEO. You want me to eat this crap too? I'm selling it.

SPEAKER_01 15:44

Because the Jack in the Box guy changed the game, man. When he came out and he started doing his own commercials. Yes, he has uh an interesting head. Or actually, the or the first guy to do that was Dave from Wendy's, remember? Yeah, or Colonel Sanders. I don't think that was the real Colonel Sanders. Pretty sure it was. Was it really? I don't know. But uh Dave's were getting pretty bad towards the end, too. You know the guy the folks at Wendy's were like, thank God he passed away, so we can finally do different commercials. No, I'm sure he was a lovely guy. The uh new study, Super Agers Brain Study, reveals why people are just as sharp at 80 as they were at 50. Science says it's because their brains produce up to 2.5 times more neurons in the hippocampus. No idea what any of that means. Anything you do that helps or hurts your brain health.

SPEAKER_00 16:44

Helps my brain health? Yeah, I'd I I play the word games and things. Yeah. I think that probably's good for you.

SPEAKER_01 16:55

What do you do that hurts it?

SPEAKER_00 16:57

Whiskey. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:00

See if we're too similar. I play Scrabble, I feel like that helps, and the bourbon absolutely doesn't help. Or the sleep deprivation. I would argue that the imaginary five is a good thing.

SPEAKER_00 17:12

The daylight savings time can't be good for you. That's all I know. Stupid. This is so dumb. Why are we still doing this? In a modern society. So over it's it's extra dumb here where the sun's just gonna do whatever it's gonna do, it doesn't matter. The only reason Alaska does it is just to stay on time with the other folks.

SPEAKER_01 17:37

Yeah, Alaska is really annoying because it I can't remember what time of year y'all are three hours and what time of year you're four hours. That's not the thing.

SPEAKER_00 17:46

It's always three hours.

unknown 17:48

What?

SPEAKER_00 17:48

You're just wrong, you're just dumb. What are you talking about? You're thinking of Hawaii. Hawaii was four hours or five hours, depending on when because it does not change time. No, Alaska changes, Hawaii doesn't, and Arizona doesn't. And a bunch of states have voted to stay on daylight savings time, but that's federally illegal. You can only stay on standard time. So I mean, if the if the government wants to do something, and everybody will get behind, stop making us change the clocks around. Because it's just annoying.

SPEAKER_01 18:25

Nobody likes that. That's that is one thing that every poll show has bipartisan support. People across the board can't stand it.

SPEAKER_00 18:33

DJT, if you're watching, you know, get out that executive order.

SPEAKER_01 18:38

I've heard a lot of people say they're support. I don't know why it hadn't happened.

SPEAKER_00 18:42

All right. So I'm I want to I will support it if they change it. So when we leap forward, it happens at like four o'clock Friday afternoon, so we all get off work an hour early.

SPEAKER_01 18:54

Yeah, and the other thing about the other reason they should do it on freaking Friday is because it anybody with kids, it takes a while for kids to adjust to it because they don't get the frickin' memo. They don't know that the it's changing. So by changing it on Saturday night, we got one day to adjust before they had to go back to school, and one day before everybody has to go back to work. So if they did it on Friday, it'd be so much better for everybody. I remember when I was younger, I I used to love when it falls back, because then we got an extra hour at the bar.

SPEAKER_00 19:25

You know what I mean? Right. Yeah. So and never make it back. Most people don't care too much about the fallback. It's always the spring forward where you're like, Jesus, this is stupid.

SPEAKER_01 19:35

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The spring forward is what really screws it up. The uh uh so a female Airbnb host busted a male cheater who left a bad review. So he left a bad review on her Airbnb, and she was like, Well, the ring camera shows you were there with someone other than your wife. So she busted him and sent it to the wife. I don't know how she knew that. Maybe the wife was there one day and then he rented it a couple extra days, but cool or not cool, what do you think? Who you're not cool.

SPEAKER_00 20:07

I mean, there is an expectation of privacy when you rent somewhere.

SPEAKER_01 20:12

See, I'm definitely not cool. I'm fine with it. As long as she's as long as she's equal opportunity and also bust a woman who cheats on her husband and leaves a bad review.

SPEAKER_00 20:25

Dude, I mean hotels are for cheating. You know that. You can't be doing if Airbnb wants to compete with hotels, you gotta just let people cheat.

SPEAKER_01 20:35

Yeah. Maybe she I bet she got kicked out of Airbnb for it. As a general rule, I don't tell on a cheater voluntarily.

unknown 20:44

Everybody.

SPEAKER_01 20:45

Yeah. Ever. The only way I mean if if I'm questioned about it, I will fold like a lawn chair. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 20:52

Like if I'm questioned about it, you're you're not covering for somebody, but you're not going out of your way to uh report.

SPEAKER_01 20:58

Right. Like I I'm not disclosing the information unsolicited. Ever. I don't care what the situation is, that always, always ends bad. But if someone corners me, it's like is it?

SPEAKER_00 21:10

What if it's like your best friend and you find out that his wife is cheating on him? You don't even say anything then? To my best friend? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 21:20

If I'm cornered, yeah. Otherwise, I'm not just because, dude, I've done it in the past. This has happened, and I did it, and it always ends bad. Because there's always circumstances you don't know about behind the scenes, like he didn't want to know, like he kind of knew, but didn't want it verbalized or something, you know, or they accuse you of maybe you want to sleep with her. I'm like, okay, whatever. I'm just reporting the facts, man. But this was also pre cell phone, so back in the day where everything was just like word of mouth, and you know, you never had any evidence on now. Everyone has oh, yeah, well, really? Here's the video of it. I watched it take note.

SPEAKER_00 21:58

I mean, uh that's what gets Me is I I know I'm carrying around a camera all the time, but I'm people are filming stuff way more than I am. It's like occasionally I'll take a picture of something, but like these people who are like, Oh yeah, this is all happening out in the way. Like, who's who's videographers all the time?

SPEAKER_01 22:15

I know I I see it all the time with people, uh, because uh the rubbernecking used to be like people would kind of look when they pass something, like a wreck or something. Now people video everything. Like if a fight breaks out, the old thing used to be you get away. Like you're gonna be like, well, now it's like, oh, dude, this is world star hip-hop. I'm gonna have go viral with this. Everyone busts out the camera and starts filming.

SPEAKER_00 22:40

But dude, the rubbernecking thing, we all do it. What annoys me is you know, it slows down traffic, and so then you're sitting in traffic forever, and then you get up to the wreck and you're like, oh, we all get to look at this now. The worst is when they've already cleared it or something, and so you have to sit through all the backed up traffic and you get up there and there's no cool smashed car to see. See, I'm not like what was it, ghosts?

SPEAKER_01 23:04

What happened to I don't rubberneck because I cannot, those are images you can't get out of your brain. Like, I don't want to the cars are funny. I don't want to see somebody that's I don't want to see somebody all mangled and stuff.

SPEAKER_00 23:16

Yeah, gotcha. Yeah, I was just looking at the cars. They got quick cripple zones now. I mean, these things just go into like little balls of metal, but usually the people are okay.

SPEAKER_01 23:27

That's why I envy first responders so much because I've never been the first one up on a wreck where somebody got really hurt. Yeah. If I did, I would go help, but I would be I would the whole time I'm like, oh, I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it.

SPEAKER_02 23:40

Oh gross.

SPEAKER_01 23:41

And I would have a tough time like keeping my computer.

SPEAKER_00 23:43

Would you go help, or would you just go, didn't see that, and just give it some gas?

SPEAKER_01 23:47

I would go help, but I would the whole time I would I would help physically, but I would also probably make some comments like, oh no, oh, oh, this is gross. Which would make it worse. Oh, yeah, that that looks like it hurts, yeah. Yeah. Oh, you're gonna be fine, but it's uh pretty disgusting. Have you heard the uh Jim Carrey clone conspiracy? No, this is new to me. This happens with a lot of celebrities that kind of go out of the public eye for a while. So it's probably just that his appearance has changed over the past couple years. And they also, when they're not doing a movie, they look so drastically different than when they're shooting a film. Like they grow their own. Unless they're Adam Sandler, who's always just frumpy. Who always just looks the same no matter what. So it's probably just that his appearance has changed a little bit, but the there's an online conspiracy that he he has a clone because he doesn't like now now.

SPEAKER_00 24:41

I gotta go look at recent Jim Carrey photo.

SPEAKER_01 24:45

Or a uh a double. Do you think there are famous people who actually use a double? Because I mean politicians for sure. Yeah, I'm um there's definitely world leaders that do just uh for assassination.

SPEAKER_00 24:58

It looks like maybe he got a little bit of a facelift or something, or fillers.

SPEAKER_01 25:04

Didn't Saddam Hussein I know Putin famously uh allegedly has a double, and I think I want to say there's a movie about Saddam Hussein having a that he had a double. What a crap job that is, dude. The double for a dictator.

unknown 25:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 25:20

Look, uh you we don't want him getting shot, so you're gonna go out there instead.

SPEAKER_01 25:25

So my whole job is to do the things where he's most likely to get shot. Yes. Okay. Does it pay well? What's the benefits like? I mean it's gotta pay pretty well.

SPEAKER_00 25:35

I don't know, man. I think it's probably like you're doing this. It's a dictator. He's not like, oh, please come to he's like, this is your job now.

SPEAKER_01 25:43

They gotta at least throw you a couple dictator perks.

SPEAKER_00 25:46

Oh I mean, I'm I'm I'm kidding. I'm sure it pays great because not pay.

SPEAKER_01 25:51

I mean, I want I want some people to think I'm the dictator if I'm the double, so I get some of the dictators.

SPEAKER_00 25:56

Oh, like you you want to go into a strip club and be like, it's right on Putin.

SPEAKER_01 26:02

VIP section me. I get to pretend like I'm him sometimes in my off time to see what uh what that shakes out of the yeah. Then then I'm for it. But do you do you look at the Jim Carrey stuff?

SPEAKER_00 26:14

Yeah, I look at the Jim Carrey photo. He looks like Jim Carrey, but maybe he had some work done. You know, some filler on his face or something.

SPEAKER_01 26:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 26:23

Which I'm all for. And he's definitely dying his hair.

unknown 26:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 26:28

Yeah, which they they all dye their hair when they're doing rolls and stuff. That's why the the late night guys always when they're in their off season, you realize how old all of them are because they like immediately like they're they're off their show for a week and everything's gray, and it's like or you go the Letterman way where he just went full crackhead Santa Claus look.

SPEAKER_00 26:51

Full Santa Claus. I think he looks cool like that though. He does, yeah. But does you know it's like you're probably contractually obligated to not have a beard the entire time, and then he's like, show's over, growing it out.

SPEAKER_01 27:03

On Netflix now, who cares? Christy Gnome out after her terrible appearance on Capitol Hill. Do you see any of that?

SPEAKER_00 27:11

I saw the story. I tend to not watch the I mean, I see clips from their stupid interviews and depositions, and it's always like nobody ever answers the questions. They always just start saying something entirely different. You're like, what's the point of this?

SPEAKER_01 27:26

Oh, there's so much fun in the Trump era, though, because they're like they used to always be pretty much this side crap's on them, this side's super nice, and the and the witness kind of knows what to say, not to say, and because it's a legal thing. You can't lie in there. I mean, you can right now because you're not being held accountable. Yeah, there's no law for the case. After the midterms, after the that all that's all record. Uh there's a record of all that, and it is perjury to lie to uh Congress. It's not the same as lying in a court of law, but it it it is still illegal. But all that's gone out the window in the trial. So they're they just it's insane. Like the lady yelling 50K. The Dow's at 50K. When she was asked about, would you like to apologize or say something to these Epstein victims? And she started screaming about the Dow being 50K. And the Christy Nome, she had to she got asked a question about whether she's cheating on her husband with her husband sitting six feet behind her. I mean, this is how can you not be watching this?

SPEAKER_00 28:33

She got ousted because she's spent two hundred million dollars of taxpayer money on trying to raise her profile.

SPEAKER_01 28:40

Was that what I got ousted because she threw Trump under the bus and said he approved it when apparently he says he didn't, and that he she got walked pretty expertly into a trap by a Republican lawmaker. It was that's that southern guy that always does the sayings. Can admit it. He pretty expertly walked her into a trap because he knew she'd wasted it. Basically, she spent$220 million of taxpayer money on future political ads for her. You know what I'm saying? They were they she was featured in all of them. A lot of them had nothing. Some of them didn't really have much to do with immigration. I mean, it was kind of real shaky how it tied in.

SPEAKER_00 29:22

And she paid them. She was the head of the whole Department of Homeland Security, which is way more than just immigration. So you can't just say it's only immigration, right? So they do all kinds of stuff. Which is what she was trying to highlight, probably, with 200 million of our dollars.

SPEAKER_01 29:37

That also some of it, I mean, some of it went through a shell corporation that was owned by friends of hers. So it's also corruption and all kinds of stuff. But but what she got in trouble for is she said Trump approved it and kind of threw him under the bus. And so, yeah, she's out. But who do you think will be next out of that cast of characters? Me too. Yeah. Because she's the one that yelled, she's the one that yelled the 50k, and that's gonna be in every ad, every Democratic ad in the midterms.

SPEAKER_00 30:11

Yeah, and she's the one that's fumbling the Epstein release or not release, or we don't have files, we have files, nobody cares, he's not in it, you know. Yeah. She's been lying the whole time she's been in that position. And so eventually it's gonna be like, we kind of ran out of lies. Just get rid of her and bring somebody else into life for a while.

SPEAKER_01 30:32

Yeah, that's why I don't understand what's in it for them. Because you like Christy Noam running ads for a future campaign. There's zero chance she wins uh she becomes president at any point. I mean, I think America is ready for their first female president, but it's not gonna be somebody who uh was oversaw ice when two Americans got killed in the streets of Minneapolis, who shot her dog, who had sex with someone who wasn't her husband while she was married on a private jet. Taxpayers are paying for it. No, not a chance. So what's in it for them? Like why?

SPEAKER_00 31:08

I mean, you say that, but there's all kinds of terrible things you could say about people who have become presidents. You know, things happen. Yeah, but they're all men. Well, okay.

SPEAKER_01 31:20

I'm not saying I'm just saying we should elect a personal. Hey, I'm just saying the first one's not gonna be somebody who has that kind of skeletons in the closet. It's gonna be somebody that like Obama became the first black president. What scandal did Obama have? Well, can you think of one? Yeah, other than wearing tan pants one day. But that was clearly not true. And you'd think Fox News would have gone eight years and not uncovered that if that was a true story. Right. He wore a tan suit. That that was his biggest scandal. He's squeaky clean. The first woman who becomes president's gonna be squeaky clean. Dan Quell couldn't spell potato.

SPEAKER_00 32:05

That's yeah, we used to have really good scandals.

SPEAKER_01 32:09

My so my money's on Bondi being the next one that gets in trouble. Or Hegseth. Yeah. Because we're in the middle of a war, so he's front and center. He's gonna do something to F it up. I mean, he's gonna say something terrible that he shouldn't have said, and they're gonna well but uh Cash Cash Patel's another because he similar to Gnome, he has the scandal of he's his you know his girlfriend's a country singer.

SPEAKER_00 32:38

Yeah. And he's going around to all of her concerts on the city.

SPEAKER_01 32:43

In a private jet, so there's uh a lot of expense.

SPEAKER_00 32:47

Which which I was like, I heard while I was reading that story, it says that the director of the FBI does have to reimburse for personal travel. He's required to take the private jet, he can't fly commercial, and he has to reimburse, but he only has to pay for what what it would have cost him to fly commercial. So he's like, oh yeah, Southwest or Spirit.

SPEAKER_01 33:09

$20,000 an hour to fly the plane, but yeah, yeah, so it's not nearly the cost it is to us. Have you seen the thing? So CalShi is a betting site that isn't paying people out who bet$54 million on the Supreme Leader's death. What are your thoughts on the bet? What do you think about betting on things where some people already know the outcome? You know, if you bet on sports, unless it's rigged, it's nobody knows how that's going to turn out. But now you can bet on things that there are people who actually know when to Oh, you're saying like if you're betting on the Oscars or something?

SPEAKER_00 33:47

Like there's people out there who know who won already. Yeah. But they're supposed to keep it under wraps. I mean, it seems like it's clearly not a good thing. The whole okay, we found a way around betting on everything, making it legal because it's not a bet, it's a stock or whatever they're saying. It's clearly not good.

SPEAKER_01 34:08

Yeah, it's not a good time to be a gambling addict. Because remember back in the day, the guys that you would know that would do this anyway, like they'd bet on everything. I bet you the next guy who gets a soda to die coke. I'm not taking your bet, you have a problem. I'm not doing this. Now these guys have an outlet where you can literally bet on anything on these sites.

SPEAKER_00 34:28

Yeah. What color tie is this guy gonna wear or whatever?

SPEAKER_01 34:31

It's like that's well, even like the prop bets, like uh last year where they were like, How many times are are they gonna show Taylor Swift? Well, the network probably tells them to make sure you sh if she's at the game, show her X amount of times. You know, so how many people know that information? They could you they're not betting on talk about insider trading. Somebody's gonna bet on that. How do you w how do you police that?

SPEAKER_00 34:57

And well, what's messed up is that they didn't pay out when he died. Because they were like, oh, but the bet wasn't that he was gonna die. We don't want to bet on death. That was their thing. They're like, because then you could bet that somebody's gonna die and then shoot them.

unknown 35:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 35:14

Yeah, but I mean uh uh A world leader, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:17

That seems it seems like they should have paid out.

SPEAKER_01 35:20

Yeah. Can't believe something like that would be uh not on the up and up, though. Did you see Taylor Sheridan's uh making a Frisco King show? I did not, no. So it's a spin-off of Tulsa King. Tulsa King. I live in Frisco, by the way, if you're watching or listening and you don't know that, but yeah, it's a spin-off of Tulsa King and Samuel L. Jackson's and Tulsa King, I think he's a bit part in that, but he's gonna be the Frisco King. Nice. So it's a fish out of water thing. Because in the show, in Tulsa King, uh Sylvester Stallone's gonna suggest he goes to Frisco, and and Samuel L. Jackson's supposed to say, San Francisco, and he goes, Nope, Frisco, Texas. And then the next shot is him here in Frisco. But they met with the city council here and they assured everybody that you know we're gonna put show Frisco in a good light. But they're also doing crime there, right?

SPEAKER_00 36:19

That's the whole thing, is that they're a crime lawyer.

SPEAKER_01 36:22

Yeah, Tulsa King, he's a mafia guy, so I'm assuming it's some kind of crime thing. That's probably why they met with the city council to make sure that the people felt like they weren't gonna say oh Frisco's fill.

SPEAKER_00 36:35

Well, I mean, it's either gonna be good or bad for you, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 36:41

Maybe I could go be an extra. What would it be like if they did an Anchorage King?

SPEAKER_00 36:49

Um probably not the same. I mean, I know there's crime here, but it's you know, different. Um yeah, I don't know. There are either when you see Alaska shows, is it accurate? Sometimes, but they almost never film here because it's so expensive. Oh, really? Yeah, so they'll use Canada or the Pacific Northwest as a fill-in for Alaska.

SPEAKER_01 37:20

What was the one on I mean, you've obviously seen Northern Exposure.

SPEAKER_00 37:25

Seen Northern Exposure. I think they filmed that one in Canada or Washington State or something. And then um they just recently did the one where it was So the true detective one that they filmed up there. Is that what Yeah, they filmed a true detective one. I don't think, yeah, I mean it's accurate. They're talking about it's you know, all it's it's factually accurate, you know, with the way things happen. But I don't think that one was filmed here either, you know? It's like maybe it was. I don't think so. Yeah, because of the cost. There's been like one or two of the films that they did that they actually shot here.

SPEAKER_01 38:01

What was the other famous one from the 90s that they recently rebooted that was set in Alaska that was real weird? What was that called? Now I can't think of it.

SPEAKER_00 38:15

You know what's crazy is that we used to be able to just sit around and argue about something, and now everybody just busts out to Google. Oh, we'll figure this out. Show us in a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 38:24

I'm getting that age where I don't know enough about things to even Google it. Who was that guy and what was it? Where was it set? What was the plot? I don't remember any of this stuff. So we have another anonymous question. Steve in Nebraska asked. I took a girl on a date and after a dinner that went really well, she said she wasn't interested and that she would that we should just be friends, so I sent her a Venmo request for half of the money after the date that what that the date cost. She was incredibly offended, but did pay me. Was I in the wrong? Yeah. It's already over, dude.

SPEAKER_00 39:07

You can't go back. You you can't be like, oh, let me get this. And then after she goes, Yeah, I'm not interested anymore, you can't go, oh, but I already got that, so you have to pay me back. That's that's messed up.

SPEAKER_01 39:17

You can't put strings on a date. I get the progressive thing of splitting the bill and stuff, but the first date, the guy pays Well, uh if you're gonna be a split the bill, you're splitting the bill at the time of the bill.

SPEAKER_00 39:32

You're not coming back afterwards and going, okay, now pay me half. Once that transaction's done, that transaction's done, man.

SPEAKER_01 39:40

Plus, we got queso, you ate the majority of that, so I'm gonna need at least three quarters, 75% of the change.

SPEAKER_00 39:46

Oh, yeah, you're the one who won't even split a check. You're like, no, we all have to pay for our particular item. I split checks. No, you said you said you don't split checks. This was an earlier episode where you said I don't split checks evenly. Oh no, that is true.

SPEAKER_01 40:03

I get annoyed with that because they'll somebody will order if you order things without me signing off on it, I'm not paying for half of it because you may get I've got friends that will get ridiculously expensive wine.

unknown 40:15

I know.

SPEAKER_01 40:16

Or they'll go, let's get every appetizer to try. I'm like I'm with you on uh appetizer. Uh appetizer, reasonably priced bottle of wine. I'm splitting it even.

SPEAKER_00 40:29

What you do is if if you're in that situation, just try everything. Have a glass of the expensive wine because you're splitting it. That's that's the rules. Yeah, I don't know. Otherwise, you shouldn't go to dinner with those friends. But yes, you just split it. Doesn't even matter if there's more of them. Like if you're going out with a family and they've got kids, you're still just splitting it. You're paying for half the kids, it's fine. It doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_01 40:51

No, I do it proportionally. It's not that hard to figure out. Um, but in this guy's case, yeah, you obviously you're in the wrong. That's one of the things we do as men to make up for the fact that we're not having babies. We pay for the we pay for the dates. Especially the first one. Plus, the other argument is how long do men spend getting ready for a date? Ten frickin' minutes, 15 minutes? You know what I mean? Yeah, I've I've heard this argument, but you know. But it's true, dude. If I went on a date, like back in the day when I would go on dates, if I went on a date and I'd already gone to work, I do nothing additional. You know what I mean? I go in whatever I wore to work. Right. Like there's a lot of things.

SPEAKER_00 41:33

Not even change the shirt, huh?

SPEAKER_01 41:34

There's zero additional effort. Now, if it's on a weekend, sure, jump in the shower, I'll I'll put some clothes on. But I'm spending 15 minutes where the woman's spending at least an hour, probably longer. Plus, she she probably paid to get her hair done and yada yada yada. So that's part of the other reason I think. What what do you think is a flaw in that argument? I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 41:55

I don't think there's a flaw in that argument. I mean, it's just if she's gonna do that, that's her choice, you know, to spend the money to do that. So I don't think that should factor in.

SPEAKER_01 42:10

But if you're cheap enough to think if you're so cheap you think they should ven you Venmo you for half of the money if it doesn't work out, then just take them on a frickin' coffee date.

SPEAKER_00 42:20

Well, yeah, that's dude. I'm never I'm not saying that he's right. He's wrong. He definitely should not have asked for the money after the fact. That's it of course she was offended. I don't think she should have paid. But clearly she's not gonna be friends with him now either. If she's like, I think we should be friends. I like you, I just am not romantically attracted to you. And he says, Well, fine, then give me some money. And you're like, Alright, well, then clearly I'm she did the right thing, I'll tell you that, in not getting with him, if this is his attitude.

SPEAKER_01 42:52

Clearly, and she's gonna tell everybody she knows about this, and so hopefully it's a big enough or and go on social media or one of those.

SPEAKER_00 43:03

Oh, that's right. You can uh you can trash people now directly on their pages. I am glad that I got married before that was big.

SPEAKER_01 43:11

Yeah, no kidding. All right. Um oh, you got any wrecks or rants?

SPEAKER_00 43:18

Um yesterday I watched the Wonder Man on Disney, which I thought was gonna be different than it was. Like it all seems like it was revolving around because the guy has superpowers but wants to be an actor. And so you think he's gonna use the superpowers in the film, but he can't. So it's kind of it it's but it's Ben Kingsley and uh he's in it, and he's always great. So yeah, he's always good. So he can't because he doesn't want to, or he can't because in this universe there's a law against having superpowered people on In movies. We can't have him taking all the TV jobs. It's weird because it's like there's a whole lot of people in it playing themselves, like Josh Gad's in it. Josh Gad's great.

SPEAKER_01 44:13

Yeah, he's hilarious.

SPEAKER_00 44:14

And so there's elements of it that are just the real world, but it's also the Marvel universe. And so it's all very blended together. Huh?

SPEAKER_01 44:25

Yeah, I'll have to check that out. It's interesting. I'm becoming a cannon. How much are they paying you? Nothing. The Duke? The Duke. I got three kinds. I got the Duke. I got the gent.

SPEAKER_00 44:40

Are these these are man-smelling candles? So they're like smelling vanilla and wood and leather.

SPEAKER_01 44:47

This one is I'm showing my age because I can't even read this. Gentility, honor, and what's the actual thing made of? A unique blend of vanilla mixed with the woodsy sweetness of vetiver and fresh tobacco. Yeah. See? Vanilla, wood, tobacco, man smells. Man candles. They are$20 though. Are candles all that expensive? I've never bought candles before for myself.

SPEAKER_00 45:14

Yeah, they are expensive. Uh you go like twice a year, the Bath and Body Works has their candle day, and that's when you go and you stock up on all the candles, because they're usually 20 and you pay$9 for them or something. But do they have man candles?

SPEAKER_01 45:31

They do have man candles, yeah. Do they call them mandals, or did I just make that up? I think you need to patent that right now. I think Southern Gentleman is a pretty good name for a product. Mandel's better. That's what we should have called this frickin' podcast. Dang it. Southern gentleman.

unknown 45:49

Dang.

SPEAKER_01 45:49

I could have worn a bow tie every episode. It would have been awesome. You can switch it up. Yeah. Maybe we switch it up. Southern gentleman. And I could talk in that voice the whole time. I got a seersucker suit. I could wear it for every episode. You got one of those weird hats, like the barbershop quartet style ones? No, but I could definitely buy one.

SPEAKER_00 46:10

Those are the dumbest hats. They don't they don't work at why does a styrofoam add a thing?

SPEAKER_01 46:17

Yeah. When was that? Uh was there a point where that's all we had to make at the end of the day? I don't know. No. Lots of news happening this week with my cowboys, QB1 Dak Prescott, split from his fiancee just a month before the wedding after a reported argument at their co-bachelor bachelorette parties. Hence why I've always argued against co-bachelor slash bachelorette parties. It never ends well. We've also had quite the week with free agency. We got outbid for the big fish, edge rusher Max Crosby, before the Ravens found out he had a bum knee and gave him back to the Raiders, who, by the way, had already given all their money to other free agents. Well played, Brady. So instead of giving up first round picks, we used a fourth to get edge rusher Rashawn Gary. We also signed safety Jalen Thompson to a three-year,$36 million deal. And it appears the Cowboys are not done spending the$66 million in cap space they freed up after restructuring Prescott, Lamb, and Tyler Smith. Don't look now, but owner GM and bourbon enthusiast Jerry Jones is having quite the offseason. That's it for today's show. We'll be back next week with a new episode of the Andy Meadows Show, now available on your favorite podcast platforms as well.
