SPEAKER_03 0:00

Hey everybody, welcome to another edition of Trip and Graham Have Issues. I just want to uh let you know that if you enjoy watching these instead of listening to these uh podcasts, this one in particular um had a live uh uh broadcast where we did the recording, and we will have that link for you in the uh description.

SPEAKER_02 0:23

So enjoy the land.

SPEAKER_01 1:33

Uh it's chevr Chevrolier or something like that. Chevalier? Chevalier, thank you. There we go. Um she says, I forgot to get napkins when I was out to eat, so I just used my uh wiped my hands on the American flag. Which is a deleted tweet, of course, but where he's getting these people, you know, she's running for 13th district. Uh it's just in the Senate, for God's sake. I I just don't and and she's won the primary, and I don't get it. What's going on in New York is just I mean, it's it's not the New York that we all grew up in uh doesn't exist anymore. No, just like Paris, most of Western New York. LA is not. Uh I mean uh Seattle, Washington. Seattle's gone, and I missed that because that's where the Boeing, the main Boeing plant is. He and I were big commercial aviation buffs. I grew up on planes with him traveling for work, and we went out there to visit, and that's when it was still Seattle.

SPEAKER_03 2:27

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 2:27

So it's at gone now. Yeah, Portland, everywhere.

SPEAKER_03 2:31

So well, people are just uh surrendering to uh the Marxists and and uh you know uh getting into the warm glow of collectivism. If you're wondering what he's looking back on, we've got two little guests in the studio, uh Bam Bam and Jazzy. And um uh Bam Bam is the uh French uh bulldog, the little French bully. And uh then Jazzy's uh little mutt that's also um yeah, they both probably down.

SPEAKER_01 3:01

Yeah, they are asleep immediately.

SPEAKER_03 3:03

Yeah, I got I I took them out for a walk uh before he got in, so yeah, that way they they'd be a little calmer for I just thought they were faking because they're nervous and didn't want to get on the mic.

SPEAKER_01 3:14

But uh yeah, so uh and then Hakeem, uh you know, if your party is left of Hakeem Jeffries, you should start over, just throw the whole party out. Uh-huh. Um but there were people chanting when he was speaking, congratulating all the socialists on their wins, and they were chanting, you're next. Yeah, who was chanting that? White liberal women. Uh-huh. We need to repeal the 19th, but only for white liberal women. They're going to ruin the carve out. Yeah. Only they can't vote. And uh, you know, at some point we may have to say all women. I know that's not gonna be very popular, but there's a lot of people who are saying it. I personally I don't agree with that, but um uh they're gonna ruin the country, white liberal women, and then the teen takeovers, of course, and the violence with the Carmelo Anthony trial and all this. We've got we're on a pretty sharp uh angle downward. Okay, better figure out how to reverse it real quick.

SPEAKER_03 4:11

So well, uh talk about local craziness. Um uh did you see the latest um I guess information coming out of uh our friend Mark McBride?

SPEAKER_01 4:23

No, I've seen some of his uh well, I've seen that he's posting, but I haven't watched any of them.

SPEAKER_03 4:28

He he I guess he thinks he's gonna be running as a write-in with somebody else to go up against Lindsey Graham.

SPEAKER_01 4:36

Okay, independent. He's I saw what he said.

SPEAKER_03 4:38

Okay, why? I mean, we already have uh Casey Whitener uh that's gonna be on the ballot. Why does he want to dilute that with somebody that's less conservative than she is?

SPEAKER_01 4:49

Well, from what I saw in the comments, that's exactly what everybody's saying, that exact uh sentiment. So I I don't know. Um tried to help him with his mayoral run, and that's uh anyway. Yeah, um, but yeah, uh I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 5:05

I mean, this is this is local politics, it gets a little obscured and so on. And uh I wanted to reach out to him and say, hey, man, did you not hear? Because he kept saying, because there's no other alternatives. There's not I'm like, yes, there is. If you look, you know, we've we've we're you know, I'm campaigning like heck for Casey. And so yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:25

I certainly think he means well, uh he's turned kind of anti-Trump, it seems. There's a lot of people who are not happy with the Iran war, and I see that you know there's cases to be made for that, but uh yeah, he's he's kind of turning. Uh Tucker Carlson just left the Republican Party, yeah with Trump being a part of that, I'm sure. So some people are, but um, yeah, I'm not sure the uh the thought process when there's a there is an alternative there already.

SPEAKER_03 5:49

Yeah. So Mark, if you're you're uh looking, we'd love to talk to you. Maybe you can state your case. Uh is maybe we're missing something. Maybe you've got something different than Casey Whitner offers, or you know, one of the other candidates that we have on the ballot um coming up in in November. Um, or you think that nobody is going to vote for libertarian because it has L I B in it, and everybody and the brain dead people think that these conservatives are liberals because it has L I B.

SPEAKER_01 6:21

Yeah. Oh, yeah, that's a good point.

SPEAKER_03 6:25

Oh, it says Lib, so they must be liberal.

SPEAKER_01 6:29

I never thought of that. So yeah.

SPEAKER_03 6:32

That's kind of funny. I had an old guy that was yelling at me at uh at a meeting that I was at, uh, because yeah, he couldn't get over the name libertarian. You had to be liberal, and you know, otherwise, why would you even point and keep that name and things? I'm like, well, you're all your founding fathers were considered liberal. Yeah. Uh so yeah, that's classical. Classical liberal liberalism, yeah. Was the was the way. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Um, yeah. So I thought that was it was interesting. So I Mark, I I really you you may have something that's uh different, and we want to give you an additional platform. Um, please come on. Maybe we can even have you and Casey uh talk to each other and uh we can find out something, maybe form some sort of coalition. So let us know.

SPEAKER_01 7:22

Yeah, and like you say, the call-in feature, so you don't know travel involved. I'm not sure if he's back here or or uh nobody wants to go to the armpit of the dunes to get into the studio. That's right.

SPEAKER_03 7:32

I mean, you you you even you know wait a half hour later to make sure that the coast is clear. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:38

Oh then I had to press the number in at the gate. I kept forgetting it. A guard, both guards stopped me. One of them had his gun out, so yeah, it's this stuff.

SPEAKER_03 7:46

Yeah, you gotta make sure you have the right kind of cocaine when you get in here. Oh, what else do you got for us?

SPEAKER_01 7:56

Um, this vampire rule, you heard of this in Alaska, apparently? Or Hawaii. Hawaii, yeah, okay. Uh Alaska, Hawaii, same, same same climate. It is to me. I don't I wish I'm a big fan of Jeopardy, and I wish they'd get rid of geography because I don't know anything. I don't know where the street the streets here. If somebody says go down, you know, what's his name, Avenue? I've lived here my whole life, basically, except for college and I don't know where anything is. Anyway, so Hawaii uh it's they're saying you have to ask permission if you want to you haul your gun around in public spaces. Um so the Supreme Court struck that down real quick. I think Alito wrote the uh what is it called when you write not the affirmation, not the dissenters, but the uh the the uh the yeah the affirmation. Yeah, yeah, the offense. I think he wro uh I think Alito wrote it, but anyway, Supreme Court struck it down.

SPEAKER_03 8:46

The affirming, yeah, affirming um, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:50

So that's done, uh, which is ridiculous because like they say, you're talking about the Second Amendment, which is you can't I uh I I'm kind of confused with it because I know some states like you can't open carry, you can't hear now, thankfully. But uh I guess theirs was going even over past that overboard where it's they're telling you like you'd have to go home, you'd ask permission and then go run home and get your gun and bring it back if somebody's attacking you or beating up your wife or something.

SPEAKER_03 9:17

And then your wife has to bring bring the uh ammunition because you can't have them both in the same thing, and then you have to have a uh yeah, uh a security lock that's holed by a third person, and yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:28

I mean it's funny, but it could it it would be funny if it wasn't so so so so accurate, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:34

Uh uh because safety first is people are getting killed.

SPEAKER_01 9:38

Right. Uh with with other people using their gun that they didn't ask permission to have there. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:45

Or getting stabbed or getting something, yeah. It's just uh beat up or beat up. Um yeah. Uh this was kind of unique too. On the view, they were defending what is that Marcello or Marcello Anthony or whatever? The guy Carmelo, Anthony, yeah, because he he weighed so much less than the person he stabbed to death. I'm like, and it's not fair because there wasn't a black juror to deny all the evidence and clear him. I I you know it's like what?

SPEAKER_01 10:25

Uh well they had black jurors in the pool, and there were three of them, they were all educators. Right. And apparently there were at least one of them said, I'm not comfortable putting an uh another brother in jail. Yeah. So you're out. You're out. And then the prosecution and the defense apparently had a problem because they both have to agree on final jury.

SPEAKER_03 10:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:45

Uh they were educators and they were at that school, apparently. Uh so I I that may be wrong to say. And the vo in the voidure.

SPEAKER_03 10:52

In the voisure, from what I understand, uh, didn't didn't uh take them out because they were black, it's because of what they said in the answers. Yeah, it had nothing to do with their color. All right. And so uh I think it was really racially prejudiced of the ladies on the view, but they always are. Yeah. You know, and of course the one who squawked the most was her family used to own slaves.

SPEAKER_01 11:25

So that didn't surprise me. So yeah, they they never sunny. Sonny Sonny Hostins, Austin's, whatever. Her family, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 11:33

You know, talk about girl people with oxymoron names. Yeah, I mean nothing about her is Sonny. Joy Reed. Nothing about her is Joy, yeah. Nothing about her is whoopy, you know. It's just that these are like they should call them, you know, dread bummer.

SPEAKER_01 11:52

Uh whoopie would have to be the dread because of her hair. Um she has a real Jewish name. I forgot her real name, but that's not her name, of course. Yeah. Uh some Jewish name. Goldberg. Yeah. So they left that, they left the second half, right? Yeah. Anyway, yeah, they're uh but I mean, that's what people online, I'm on threads a lot, uh, because that's where all the liberals are liberals are, yeah, which is Instagram version of X. Yeah. That's where I like to spend my time. And they're, I mean, you're going to talk about completely out of touch, self-unaware, low IQ, whites, blacks, everybody on there, a lot of white women, of course, saying that Carmelo's got a second chance here. And uh his new defense just recently called out his parents for saying that they pretty much screwed him up on the first trial.

SPEAKER_03 12:41

What, by taking all the money that they got and I think that's probably what it meant.

SPEAKER_01 12:45

Now, I don't know if that was a slip-up or if uh they meant to say that, but uh, it's not off to a good start.

SPEAKER_03 12:51

No.

SPEAKER_01 12:52

Other thing is you have a jury trial. It's uh terribly uh difficult to overturn jury decisions in an appeal. I mean, the amount of evidence maybe, maybe they'll do it in 2020. They would have, oh, there's no black people, fine, okay, let's redo it. Yeah. But now we're past that, and I don't, you know. The other thing is every they're all saying it was an all-white jury. No, it wasn't. It was uh a Muslim or some some other person, and I think two Indians maybe or two two East Indians and two East Indians, and uh I thought that was a Latina or maybe that's what I'm thinking. Uh Muslim was a alternate or something, but yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:29

Yeah, they weren't all white people, so uh well even if they are white, I mean uh let's get back to it. It could have been somebody was Polish, somebody was you know of Irish descent, somebody was I mean, if just to paint everybody who is European and even non-European, because they're they just don't have a lot of m uh melanin in their skin as white, and therefore they're bad. Yeah, and they've got the same, you know, uh makeup and and same uh material outlook on on life and so on. It's ridiculous, absolutely stupid.

SPEAKER_01 14:06

Oh, and that in that town is predominantly white, yeah. And that's the other thing that I see a lot too. This wasn't a jury of his peers. Yeah, they think that that means your friends, like your personal friends. Yeah, they don't understand that Piers has a different uh overall meaning, not just connotation, but in the in the letter of the law, Piers doesn't mean you're good your buddies, yeah, it means your community, the people you live with amongst.

SPEAKER_03 14:30

Another thing that they said was that he was the only black student under the tent. And I was like, no, there are other black students, but they actually went to that school. Yeah. He was the only see it in the video. Yeah, he was the only student that didn't go to that school under that school's tent. See, I didn't even hear that one. Oh, well, that's that's the what that's what the whole controversy was, is he was he just decided he was gonna go in there and cause trouble.

SPEAKER_01 14:57

Well, I knew that, but I didn't know that he there was other black students under there with him.

SPEAKER_03 15:00

I I believe they're from from that from that school. Yeah. Uh I if I'm wrong, let let me know. Uh but uh my understanding was that there were there was uh one, maybe two other students from uh the victim school that were black.

SPEAKER_01 15:18

Yeah. And the video it looks like it for sure.

SPEAKER_03 15:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:21

So uh sticking on the Carmelo thing, when it first uh well, when the trial was about to start, and it may have been when it first happened, I forget, but a young girl that went to school with Carmelo saying, Um, I she says, I just can't believe this is so unlike him. All everybody, all anybody knows him from is his fighting. Yeah, yeah. So wait, so it's unlike him, or that's all everybody knows him from. Yeah. So uh and I saw a video, he was on a flag football team, he's running around just constantly egging people on, pushing people, you know, not physically pushing, but um inciting people, which in football that's fine, I get it. Right, you trash talk, but it gives credence to the fact that he was down there egging them on in some way. Yeah, uh, it makes you believe that for sure.

SPEAKER_03 16:08

So that and and it was definitely premeditated. Yeah, he had he brought uh a weapon with him and into a school event, and he had his hand on the weapon.

SPEAKER_01 16:21

That's that's where from what I hear it became premeditated. Not that he brought it, but that he had his hand on it at that point premeditated, even if it was just five seconds before, you know. It's not like he was attacked and then he had to go rummage through his bag.

SPEAKER_03 16:34

Yeah, grab the bag, find the bag, grab the bag, rummage, you know, open it up, find the thing, and then brandish it to say step back or he didn't do that. He he grabbed it and went thump, thump, thump, thump, thump. And it wasn't just one stab, it was multiple stabs. Oh, I thought it was just one. See, that I see I don't know some of that stuff. Yeah, I believe, and I correct me if I'm wrong, I believe that they're they the uh the um they said it was three stabs um in there. Okay, yeah, no good.

SPEAKER_01 17:08

So you know I but he's uh he's in there for I guess at least 15 years.

SPEAKER_03 17:12

But it's so hard to tell because uh like we were talking about before, you get onto social media and any media, and you get conflicting reports and early reports, and then something else comes up and and so on. So, again, that's why I put these correctives in there because I never know. I wasn't there at the hearing, I didn't get to see what evidence for the real evidence, you know, that was in there and stuff. Um, so it's that's always what makes it disturbing, you know.

SPEAKER_01 17:42

Yeah, I'm surprised they did release the video. Yeah, I don't know what they were thinking with that because with the supporters, you're not gonna you're not gonna quell them. That's very evident. Even if you put out the video, they're still gonna say self-defense and he shouldn't have been he should. I mean, the stuff they're saying on Thread is vile. Oh, yeah. You you know, fuck around, find out, you're gonna have you see what happens, don't you ever touch me? And I mean, and I'll and I'll comment back and say, okay, then you'll end up in prison too. You realize this because they'll say, Oh, if anybody puts their hands on me, I'm doing the same thing. So you're just gonna follow each other over the cliff? I don't understand, and I think they mean it. So they don't understand that it's a the lemon just a matter of mentality. Yeah, it's not just a matter of don't mess with me, it's you cannot bring a knife to a fist fight. You can't use it. Same with a gun. And Andrew Wilson talked about this. He asked, he posed the question okay, let's say Carmelo had a gun and he shot him through the heart. It's the exact same thing. Right. Uh you it they ended up dead. Only with a gun, you could miss. I mean, you may have bad aim. You there may be a better chance of survival. Yeah. So uh the knife was almost worse in that close proximity. Yeah. Another question I like to ask with just Chud the Builder situation. Uh he was attacked and then shot. And all the people that are saying that Carmelo should be free because it was self-defense, I'll ask him, I'll say, okay, if that's your logic, then Chud the Builder should be free too, right? Right? Yeah. And they stop answering every time. So the the logic wrong color, wrong color. Yeah, yeah. Which is sad. Uh but I mean, and and again, white women too on there. A few white soy uh men, boys that uh that try to chime in too, but they're just uh they're no, they're trying to, they're feminists and they're trying to they're they're trying to peacock in their own way and get the female attention, which no woman wants. Uh Percy Lold, you know, I support female rights, and and he, yeah, he's white people bad, and I they may say that none of them want that. No, may not.

SPEAKER_03 19:37

Anyway, off track, but um no, I the this harkens back to when I was in school, they had this uh the red brigade, and there were all these, you know, leftist uh soy boys that were you know for communism, and um and they and a lot of these guys I could tell they were just in there because they wanted the chicks. And um yeah, and so what they didn't know is that these girls would be uh you know, smelling like patchouli and stuff like that, and uh you know, having way too much uh eyeliner um were going to the college club and hooking up with frat boys.

SPEAKER_01 20:23

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 20:24

So I recognized some of those girls from you know taking off their little red beret and going in there to the clubs. I said, didn't I see you up there? And she's like, Oh yeah, that's my you know, but I I delete politics, you know, this is my party time. And I'm like, oh okay, cool. You know, I I like that, you know. There's a separation in your and your jurisprudence. Now I I'm not saying that I am one of those frat boys, but uh uh go pikes.

SPEAKER_01 20:54

Um and we you and I have shared enough of our stories uh from the good days over cigars, so that yeah. Yeah, when we had hairlines and waistlines, exactly, and one chin for me. That's why I keep the beard, by the way. But uh but to your point, too, it it's kind of like the 80s movies trope. Guys used to pretend to be feminist and it was fun, and then you know, like they'd print pretend to be gay to hang out with the girls, and the whole time they're straight and love. It used to be kind of an 80s movie trope. Yeah, but now they're serious, they really do believe this leftist garbage.

SPEAKER_03 21:26

And to our friend Mickey Strickland. Mickey, if you're watching this, yes, Graham and I are still going out on our dates, and this is our month. We're fabulous. But you know, we we would go to the rainbow house, her rainbow house, and get the uh the um oh, what was that burger? The black and blue black and blue black and blue uh oh man. Blue cheeseburger best burger on the planet. It was fantastic. I get and of course she always ta teased us about it. Are you guys on a date again?

SPEAKER_01 21:56

So well, it's a good thing we weren't because I d I don't know about you, but I got I get hit on a lot in there. Uh when we would uh uh dad knew the name and stuff, so and it was right down from the studio, so we were in there sometimes, but it was I got I didn't mind I never cared. I get I kind of was flattered by it. You should the term pearly little but the pearly little stud. The gays like me for some reason. Hey, hey, the dad bot or something. I don't know. Of course, I didn't have a dad bot. Not Ken. No. I was uh I don't know what it is. I'm just you're a cat like far too handsome for my own good. That was a fun place.

SPEAKER_03 22:32

But I do have to say, uh a lot of my friends um are really disappointed. Um well, my friends that are uh you know gay or lesbian are disappointed in the fact that the all the other alphabets are joined in and have usurped their movement. And because they used to have pride, they they they came up, they got it to where they were normalized, they got to adopt children and have marriage and everything else recognized, and now all of a sudden it is just they're looking like a bunch of goofballs, which should be uh kept into the uh the clubs and stuff, and you know, just privately for the community are now displayed out in front uh blatantly in front of children and everything else, and it embarrasses them. I mean, it really is. Yeah, and then you you you lump in all these people with uh mental disorders, like you know, the uh you know some of the transgenders do have a uh mental disorder and then they regret it later on um when they do the transitioning. We found out that, you know, through studies. Uh, but there are some others, you know, the furries and things like that. I I think a lot of them can grow out of it. You don't want to be lip, you know, uh lumped in with pedophiles and uh people that you know are are into some actual bestial things just to uh get themselves off. And and it's it's vile. It's not what the gay and lesbian community fought for for so long. And the same with the uh feminist community. They tried getting women's rights and then it's turned around on them. So men are playing in uh women's sports and beating the hell out of them and uh going into uh locker rooms and bathrooms. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:30

I mean that's that's why I love one of my favorite comments is um every time I see one, I'll say long live the patriarchy.

SPEAKER_03 24:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:37

Because uh it's again, it's men in your places and running your like with sports, for example. So that's yeah. I mean it is you're right, they're totally for what they say they're against.

SPEAKER_03 24:48

And I I mean it it's uh my friends that consider themselves progressive, it's always because they they they come out and say it's because we care uh that we have we we we have this uh sorry, I'm kidding, getting weird on this. But uh there they say that it's because we have empathy and we have sympathy and we you know we care about these people. I'm like so you think you're the only ones that have that care. Yeah. How about if we say everybody has that care, but they have a different way of trying to foster the care. Yeah, and your way is not working, your way of forcing it on it on everything else, you have unintended consequences, and you don't do it on an individual basis because you collectivize everybody, yeah. And so when you collectivize them, you don't know who's authentic and who's not. So um that that's why I I strongly believe. I I think there are a lot of people that have good intentions. Uh a lot of my friends who are uh very uh leftists, it's because they care so much. And some of these white women that we talk about, they have all this empathy and and care and so on and so forth, but they it's misplaced.

SPEAKER_01 26:14

Yeah, and it's it's backward. And it's like I I've been called a lot of things because I speak out against the the you know the I call them most things, yeah, mostly you, and then everybody else joins in. 400 likes on your comment. Uh but it's I get called that a lot, but it's the reason I speak out against like the teen takeovers, for example, yeah, and the violence that is rampant in the black youth community, especially lately. Youths is because and I again I have to say this every time, just as a disclaimer, not all black people by any means. Some white people too, a lot of white people we have our own problems, like the child diddlers are mostly all white men. Yeah, I think this is like the fourth time I've had to say that on podcast, just to be sure. White people is you you the reason I speak is because I have empathy. Every time I see a video of something like the kids riding through the coastal grand mall on the dirt bikes, yeah, it said they were weaving through people. All I can think is like my mother or if I had a somebody's wife or if I had kids or my aunt, grandmother, whatever, they don't care if they were to hit one of them. Right. Like they ran into the kiosk and took off running. That's what I think first. I don't think that's hilarious, which it on a different plane of thinking, you could see oh, that you know, it's kind of funny, riding dirt bikes. That'd be kind of fun. There is that part of it. But I think most of the innocent people who are there shopping, women especially. What if they hit one? What would happen? And they did drag one guy down who tried to stop him. He looked like an older gentleman right by the bouncy thing in the middle of the mall. Yeah. It dragged him. I mean, he was thrown down to the ground. I don't know what happened to him, but that's that that's empathy for people who truly deserve innocent people who deserve it. And a lot of these women, I just saw a video the other day. I forget, I don't, I think it may have been in Paris. Uh a lot of it's happening in Paris. But there was a guy, uh, I don't know where he was from, a third world or very, very dark-skinned, which is to me, by the way, is a beautiful complexion, a real dark-skinned black people. I'd love to photograph that complexion sometime getting off track. But uh, he started a fight with uh four or five white guys and they beat the shit out of him. And here comes a white woman coming over, break it up. And where does she go to the black guy that started it? Wherever he's from, he's not from wherever this was, yeah, which is the bigger problem than race, of course. But he comes over, she comes over and is consoling him and getting them off and uh not getting them off, pushing them back to him. Exactly. Well, if that's gonna happen, I'll get in a fight. Jeez. So yeah, that's the people that I have the empathy for are the truly the innocent ones, not the ones that are on their skin color or anything else. And a lot of people have empathy for are the are blacks or or Muslims are harder because their whole religion is to kill the infidels, and even the ones that don't say it, there's something like 75% of them say that some level of violence is called for in their religion, which is just crazy. But anyway, that's that was my thing with empathy. Um, I'm all about the truly innocent that are hurt by people acting up for TikTok or whatever, whatever reason. Yeah, that's my rant. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 29:19

So yeah, um put away your Quran and fire.

SPEAKER_01 29:27

But again, I just gotta say it one more time. This is all people, all races have we all have our issues. So yeah, just uh another disclaimer. But anyway, uh did you have anything else to say about that? Uh no, no. The next thing is how about these boulevard lights they put up?

SPEAKER_03 29:43

Have you seen these? I have not seen those yet, but uh tell me about them.

SPEAKER_01 29:47

I've only seen pictures. So apparently it was they were supposed to be arches, which in the the uh the proof of concept photo, whatever it's called, they look really pretty. Yeah, they look nice. So they went with string lights instead and zigzagged them down the boulevard. And the reason they did that was because they said because it could go with the money they had that could go further down the boulevard. So instead of the beautiful arches, they have these look like party city rope lights. And I was I was excited about them because I thought in the constant foot, I was like, this is cool. This looks this looks nice. It looks tacky, cheap, busy with all the background light that's back there. Myrtle beach, yeah. Um our buddy Tim made a comment about it too. He said uh something to that effect. Yes, and nobody, and I saw when I looked on the Myrtle Beach page, nobody liked them.

SPEAKER_03 30:36

Well, I I uh again, I I always am like, you know, with Ann Dunham, I want to find out uh who we bought them from and how they're related to the people in city government because that is always about 90% of it right there. Uh somebody had a buttload of these crappy uh rope lights, yeah, and they uh said, well God, you know, we'll probably have to cut a loss and and sell them for, you know, instead of the eight dollars, five dollars per. Oh, the city's gonna buy them. Oh, fifteen dollars per.

SPEAKER_01 31:14

What a deal. Yeah, any any government agency that's gonna buy it, like some of the military uh a screw for some of the helicopters or something. Yeah, eight thousand dollars for a bolt that you can get at Home Depot, you know, the amount they get away with.

SPEAKER_03 31:28

But they'll have some something that is in the uh descriptor that makes it, you know, because it has to have a titanium tip or something like that. And it yeah, so they'll the it just disqualifies everybody else, and you get to sell your your your screw. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:46

I know with the city they do a lot of no-bid stuff too. And I knew this through my dad because he was on the chamber for a long time. And after a while, they went into no-bid contracts for um advertising. Oh, yeah. Which was weird because he was I forget the the past guy that uh the chair of the chamber. He's got a road named after him now. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, and I can't think of it. I think he's passed away. Yeah, but anyway, that was that was back then, and uh they were he was saying they're doing no bids now, and couldn't even bid on it as a member of the chamber.

SPEAKER_03 32:18

So I'm sure there's a lot of that going on, which well I I and I remember back in the day they were saying it's to uh that they were protecting the chamber's membership by giving it to past bid winners in the uh chamber because they were worried about people outside the chamber bidding and winning the contracts. And I'm like but that just means that there's competition and you know, or or what you could do is reverse it and say, okay, if you're gonna bid on this, you have to pay a membership into the thing. Those would have been solutions. No, what they're doing is like we were saying, picking winners and losers. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 33:08

And see, that's strange because he was uh he has a was a past bid winner for a long time, right? A long time or it was the only video production company doing the advertising for Myrtle Beach, so I don't and a board member.

SPEAKER_03 33:20

So I don't yeah, uh it's well there's so much animosity that that went through there, yeah. That's uh yeah. We just need more transparency. I mean the the the anger most in this is just my feeling. This is just my feeling. The anger that that got most of them is that he didn't provide free services for X, Y, and Z. Yeah. And he didn't provide free services for the uh the chosen few or for the um the five families or you know, any of the things that matter to the elites of Myrtle Beach. Yeah. And um and because of that uh free market uh thinking instead of that G O B thinking, um yeah, they they they they couldn't wait to get chastise them and and put them in a box. Yeah. Yeah. How how how dare how dare you you plebs try to do this in our our community? Yeah, that's what it's turned into. Yeah. So sad to see. Yeah, it really is. It really is. And um uh just another thing, just to let you know and and other people know, uh, this Sunday at the um inlet dispensary, uh eight o'clock at night, I believe it is, uh Rob Robbie the Fire Bernstein is going to be uh going to be uh performing. And um I don't know if people are familiar with uh with the uh oh what am I uh uh Dave Smith and um his his shows is on podcasts and so on. Robbie Robbie is his kind of co-host uh with uh not the problem.

SPEAKER_01 35:04

Oh he's gonna be here, huh?

SPEAKER_03 35:06

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And uh I uh my understanding is that it's free. You just sign up for the tickets and and and go. It's a lot of fun and uh should be entertaining. Um some I know I'm gonna be there. Uh a few of the microphone monkeys are gonna be there. Um if your swelling is down, maybe.

SPEAKER_01 35:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 35:28

Uh yeah. It's Sunday night.

SPEAKER_01 35:30

Because Dave was he started out as a comedian, right? Uh and still is, yeah. Okay. Yeah. So it's it's funny stuff. And okay.

SPEAKER_03 35:37

And Robbie the Fire is also uh a comedian, too. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 35:41

Yeah. So that's all right. Yeah. Because I I I heard Dave debating Andrew Wilson, which is always a bad idea. But that's uh that's kind of how I learned about him. Yeah, yeah. Well, neat. And it's his you said his uh sidekick on the show. Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 35:59

Yeah, yeah. Good. Yep. Robbie Bernstein and uh at the inlet uh inlet dispensary, and it's at eight o'clock uh at night on Sunday. Cool. So if you're you know, if you got a bedtime, it's gonna be a little late for you. I know I'm gonna have somebody drive me because I'm an old man and I don't like to drive at night. So I'm catching up.

SPEAKER_01 36:23

That's right. That's all I had to complain about today.

SPEAKER_03 36:27

Well, I was gonna for this morning at least. Uh and I also want to let people know that the uh Myrtle Beach, this is our tourist season, and the tourists are here, and they brought their traffic uh with with them and their lovely driving habits. Um, it is just absolutely incredible. I think I've uh almost been in four accidents in the last two weeks. I believe it. Uh yeah, I mean it's just uh absolutely insane, and it's mostly from people too tentative uh trying to figure out where they're they're trying to go. So they will start driving like at four miles per hour in the left lane because they know they're gonna be taking left sometime, and then you're like, okay, that's fine. Um, I'll just go into the center lane and go past them. So you get into the center lane, uh, you're starting to speed up, and then all of a sudden they swing out in front of you and go all three lanes to the right lane and take a right turn. And I'm like, holy crud, this is just insane. And you know, yeah, and they look at you like you you have a third eye if you beep at them or something like that. You know, how what? How dare you? You know, type of thing. Um, it's it's your fault because your roads are not like ours up north. You should make them like they are there or something. I don't know. Um, it's it's insane. But it was uh three of them, three of the four incidents were down on the south end, about you know, between uh the market common and uh surfside. Yeah. I don't don't know what it is. So unfortunately, one of our favorite places uh to go have cigars is uh down in that uh toward Merle's Inlet. By the whole mole, yeah. Yeah, uh and it's uh shoot, I'm trying to think what that's called. Uh Goodfellows. There we go. Goodfellas. Uh shout out to those guys. Um yeah, I and so I'm not even I I've got to wait uh till I can really venture down winter just about, just about because our seasons are getting longer and longer and longer. Um but then again, uh Wednesday night out on the on the beach meeting some people from Surf Church. There was uh both 67th and 65th uh Avenue. Um there was tons of parking available. Hardly anybody at the beach accesses, which is real strange.

SPEAKER_01 39:09

Yeah, because that's why you come here.

SPEAKER_03 39:11

Yeah, yeah. So I don't know really what's going on. I talked to several uh friends that are involved in uh restaurants, restaurant tours and stuff. They're all crying the blues, saying that they're they're just not getting the business. Weird. Yeah. And I think part of it, this is my personal opinion. I don't know if it's true, but I think part of it is because of uh inflation. Yeah, you know, families just can't, you know, what they used to spend was maybe you know $55, $60 for their family of four to go out for a great meal for dinner. Now it's close to 110. And oh yeah. They're just like, we can't do that. If we do it, it's gonna be one night um out of the five or six we spend here. And um, or they're just gonna bypass it completely.

SPEAKER_01 40:04

I think a lot of people are because a lot of the photos I see are in their hotels just on the balcony or something, and not out doing stuff. Yeah, that doesn't mean they aren't, it's just a lot of social media they they take it there. But I'd say one place is not suffering is King George's seafood right across from Broadway. Yeah, holy shit, that place is packed all the time. The buffet. Yeah, yeah. And it's not a cheap buffet. No, yeah. I mean, it is there's cars, there's a line out the door.

SPEAKER_03 40:28

Holy cow. Uh they have cajun crab legs. Yeah. And I don't know if you uh listeners and viewers uh know this, but Dickinson Images, or as I like to call it, Dick Pics. Uh exactly why I didn't name it Dickinson Pictures. Yeah, I knew that was Dickinson Images uh is available for hire. Um, I know you've had a couple events and stuff that you've done uh uh just recently. And uh and I I can say for for certain we've used them here at Liberty Crack Media and absolutely incredible stuff. Uh I talked to um our web goddess out of uh Dallas, Texas, Agatha, and she uh she's got the uh found found the the images and stuff and oh yeah, she yeah, and and we're gonna be starting to incorporate those and the update of the the website and everything else that comes comes through. Great pictures. I appreciate that. Quality, quality work, yeah. And well, you've always been detail-oriented, everything that you've done. Yeah, video production, audio production, live productions like this.

SPEAKER_01 41:32

So yeah, yeah, you have to be in the video production world. It's like you forget a little a plate. One of the big things was a the tripod. These are these are big uh Wexler tripods and eight, eight, nine thousand dollar tripods. And there's a plate that clips in on the top that connects the tripod to the camera, so that when you take the camera off, the plate comes with it and you just clip it back on the tripod. Yep. The plate's about that big and one little screw. If you forget the plate, useless. Can't put the camera, you can't set the camera. So details were huge in the video production business.

SPEAKER_03 42:06

Yep. Uh yeah. I mean, and that's just one of a thousand details that would be in. And then uh not only that, the uh the incredible amount of planning to go in with the uh the setups and the teardowns. And uh uh Tim and I were in uh in charge of the uh stupid walk.

SPEAKER_04 42:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 42:29

And the stupid walk people don't know what it is. It's after you get everything clear cleared up, um dummy, dummy walk. Dummy walk. Okay. And then you'd have to go and we would scour the entire place to see what we missed. And every time we would find at least one thing that you know didn't get picked up, didn't get, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 42:52

One crew even left their another Wexler tripod, and uh, I think it may have been Juniper out of Florida who did uh they did Myrtle Manor, but they do a lot of other a lot of MTV reality stuff. Uh we were working with them and they left a whole tripod. Yeah. $8,000 Wexler. So and then they didn't want it back. They we told them and they never contacted us back. So yeah.

SPEAKER_03 43:14

I don't know if people uh had ever got to enjoy uh on the golf channel, it was uh what was that called? Something Myrtle Beach. Road trip. Road trip, road trip Myrtle Beach. And that was actually a fun thing to do. I love that. But holy cow, the amount of uh fast setups and takedowns we had to do and stuff. I mean, that we were hopping with those things.

SPEAKER_01 43:40

Because a lot of those, like the so with some of the restaurants we'd go with uh the singer Josh Allen Josh what was his name? Josh uh um shoot, I probably have it in the phone. Not Josh Allen, but anyway, uh a singer and then the three other a lot of those they'd have to close the restaurants, so you know, we had to yeah, be quick and to so we wouldn't hold up business, but Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 44:01

Or they'd be small and we'd have to really cram stuff in to the corners and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_01 44:06

That Italian restaurant we did was like that.

SPEAKER_03 44:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 44:08

The whole the whole crew had to get out because only the uh camera operators and audio guys could fit. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 44:14

Um yeah, I was just gonna make a quick check on it. Cause I actually got the uh got his album uh or yeah that he he had created today.

SPEAKER_01 44:23

Yeah, he gave uh I told him because he did a they did a rate radio interview with what's his name from Hoodie and the Blowfish that was on the show. Yeah and I told him the next day because I was a camera op for that, and I was like, man, I heard that song uh into um swimming in your ocean or something like that. He's like, I really like that song. He's like, well, here, have the CD. He had some with him.

SPEAKER_03 44:43

And oh yeah, yeah. And he was he was married to Tidal Wave was the name of the song. Yeah, and he was married to the uh the actress um oh come on. I can't believe I'm blanking on that big name. I can't remember her name. Oh shoot. Uh yeah, we'll we'll put it down in the comments if we can think of it later on, but I I I can't come up with uh with his his stuff on here, so um but yeah, it it's uh it's incredible that the amount of uh talent and people that we had here at the beach and so on. I I and again, props out to uh Donnie Henry. He's trying to bring some of that energy back to uh Visions Lounge. Um he's got these uh these music nights, these DJ nights that come out and uh with international music and and so on, and really really good stuff. Uh younger people that are in with that, and of course, older folks like us and and stuff can really enjoy these game nights and stuff that they have with Myrtle Mania. Young people would enjoy it too. I mean, it was is absolutely incredible, a lot of fun. And um uh but again, you know, I had some people that were balking on it because it's at the Masters Complex. Yeah, and they were just like, oh, I don't know, you know, it's so clean.

SPEAKER_01 46:01

Yeah, you don't you don't even have to go through Masters, the door is its own place.

SPEAKER_03 46:05

It's yeah, the complex has got different entrances and it's on the far left side uh facing 10th Avenue, and um and uh they still pat you down and stuff, but yeah, yeah, as they should. Yeah, uh going in. They do have a dress code uh that goes in. Um locals locals are free um for a lot of these events. Um so yeah, but not Myrtle Mania, but I mean, you know, things that don't require you know yeah, things like that. Gotta get paid.

SPEAKER_01 46:35

Performers gotta get paid, of course.

SPEAKER_03 46:36

Well, I even found out uh uh that the master's uh club, the gentleman's club, is free to locals up until 1 a.m. or something like that. So yeah. So you have Oh, I don't know. I don't I don't know anything about that.

SPEAKER_01 46:53

No, I haven't been to a strip club in a long time. I had two two friends that work there, two girls that were employed there that came in um birthday two years ago, or three or something, came and picked me up and took me. And now uh that's the last time I've been. I don't know. Um they serve their purpose. I just don't I don't really get into them.

SPEAKER_03 47:12

No, last weekend um uh because again, Donnie gave us uh tickets and stuff like that. So um excuse me, Randy O, who's the head of the microphone monkeys, said he'd never been to a gentleman's club. Oh, okay. And I was like, well, you gotta take that off the the chest. So we invited everybody to go. Nobody, nobody would go with us. So I was like, uh I'll take you, that's not a problem. Yeah. And um he had to drive because it was nighttime. So uh we went there, and uh we if you go to libertycrackmedia.com and you go to uh microphone monkeys, uh we talk about it in this cupping uh cupcoming episode. So next Thursday or the Thursday after you see this, uh you can go and listen to the adventures of Randy getting his cherry popped at the uh at uh the Masters Club. But I warned him ahead of time. I said, uh this is going to be uh an all-out assault on you and your wallet.

SPEAKER_04 48:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 48:20

And um, so just be careful of that. And he he he was. We had a good good time and so on, but they did get him. They did get him. Uh and I didn't even see this one coming. Um uh one of the gals at the end uh ordered up a couple Red Bulls, which ran up his bill insurmountably, and he didn't even know that she was ordering his tab. So yeah. Uh but they knew that we weren't going to be going to the VIP room, and uh he was too afraid to really put a dollar into the G string or something like that. But I've got to say, I was kind of disappointed, but maybe I wasn't there long enough. Uh with the talent that they had as far as dancing. There was one woman who was absolutely an athlete. She was, I mean, she was up on the pole, up on top, and she was waving her, you know, with her legs wrapped, waving her body like a flag up there. I mean, talk about core strength and everything else. I mean, and and she was. She was absolutely fantastic. Did I mean I, you know, contributed my one dollar uh for it. But we only we only gave out like six bucks. Um because we were there for about two hours, I think. Sure. But um the thing that was really kind of strange was, and of Goris Caris, we went into detail, but the uh uh it was like an international barrage of women. The first two were from South America, one was from Argentina, one was from Colombia, uh and uh physically assaulted us and everything else. Uh and then uh there was an Eastern European girl, there's a uh black girl from New York, and so all very lovely women, you know, very interesting uh if you try to talk to them and so on, but they you know again, they have one thing in mind, and that is to get into that wallet and extract some of that money. Yep. Um which I don't, you know, I'm big on free market capitalism. You know, that's that's their job, that's what they got to do. That's what they're there for.

SPEAKER_01 50:18

I mean, that's what everybody's there for. Not to spend their money, but you know, you get what I mean.

SPEAKER_03 50:22

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. But the uh the the venue itself is beautiful, yeah, absolutely beautiful.

SPEAKER_01 50:29

So yeah, when when we did his interview there, I can attest to that. Yeah, a really nice place. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 50:35

The visions and uh and masters, I mean, and I the DJ uh was absolutely incredible. He had great music at the at the Masters Club. He even played Five Finger Death Death Punch, and of course that just made me a fan right away. Oh yeah, he saw my uh my skull with the the Death Punch um on it.

SPEAKER_01 50:58

So yeah. I don't remember DJing there though. Uh I said he was really fantastic, so I just assumed you meant me before before before I retired from DJing. Um I never did a strip club though. No. A lot of it's because you gotta get on the mic, and I wasn't when I was a DJ, I wasn't a I'm not good at like hyping up the crowd. Yeah. Because to me, I always sound corny. I'm not like you know, hey guys, let's let's get out on that dance floor and you know, get get the feet a shaking and your body moving. Ladies and gentlemen, coming on to it is cinnamon, and cinnamon is quite yeah, especially strip club, but even as a club DJ, I I never got on the mic because I just I wasn't good at it. So the good club DJs get everybody hyped up. But yeah, I had had fun DJing for sure.

SPEAKER_03 51:47

I think you could do that job of hyping up. I think you just kind of talk yourself out of it.

SPEAKER_01 51:51

I don't know what to say. I because I've done it before in Columbia when I was first starting. I always had a wireless mic, and the guy who taught me how to DJ, uh, there's two of them. One of them plays with the band Rehab. I think they're not they're not around anymore, I don't think, but he had one big song. Yeah, exactly. They had one big song, National Anyway. They taught me, but they always had a wireless mic, you know, always be in his back pocket. Yeah. So he'd be walking around the club while the other one was DJing, or I was, or whatever. Freaky tiki club in Myrtle Beach. Ah, I remember that. Oh god, that place was fun. So I learned from those guys, and they'd always be ready. So I'd walk around in Columbia, this one spot, I forget the name of it now, but I'd have the mic, I'd be ready to say something, and it'd take me like 10 minutes. I'd just be like, and then I'd start overthinking what am I gonna say? And it's like and then I'd get drunk, and then something who knows what comes out then. So it's like I just I just play uh I'm the music guy, I don't want to talk.

SPEAKER_03 52:43

Oh, that's better for everybody in the building if uh somebody else has the mic. All right, yeah. Well, uh, I guess that kind of concludes our episode of Trip and Graham have issues.

SPEAKER_01 52:58

And this will be out what uh for audio Tuesday? Tuesday. Yeah, Tuesdays. These are audio Spotify, uh, Apple Music, Liberty Crack Media.
