Everything feels broken, but nobody is calling it out.

What happens when systems fail, leadership disappears, and the line just keeps ringing?

In the inaugural episode of *At the Mic: Wednesday Wild Card*, Keith Malinak and Brad Staggs start with a simple experiment, dialing a remote phone booth in the Mojave Desert and letting the silence do the talking. From there, the conversation wanders intentionally, moving through books worth sitting with, strange rocks that inspire real belief, hypnosis stories most people avoid, and the personal moments that surface when there is time to wait and listen.

Calls come in. Ideas shift. The discussion follows curiosity instead of urgency, tracing how people behave when certainty is absent and no one seems to be on the other end of the line.

This episode sets the tone for Wednesday Wild Card, where exploration matters more than conclusions and questions are allowed to breathe.

Hello. Hello. Hello. I hope you're having a good Wednesday. It is a three o'clock Eastern. Man. I hope this thing works. My goodness. I wish you understood the chaos and well, the genius that gets us on the air here. Cause I sure as hell don't, but Brad stags will be joining us here momentarily. does is what the, huh? Wednesday show. And we're to give this a shot, know,

And there's so much audio happening right now that, yeah. Okay. So Brad's, so Brad's doing his thing. And like I said, he'll join us shortly here and I'll join him on his, on his show and we'll see how long, well, so long he, hangs out with us today, but thanks for making time. We're on YouTube. see we're on X and I appreciate everybody that's tuned in and has already commented.

I will say I meant to take a picture of this. Like Laura, for example, Laura on X said, great song talking about Crystal Blue Persuasion by Tommy James and the Shondells. And I wanted to make sure that's the song she was talking about. And I looked to see what time that she sent that message. it says on this is how ass backwards the chat feature is with this setup. It says 6 14 AM. What the hell? don't even know. Like that's not even a different time zone.

She would have said that at like five, I'm sorry, listen to me, like 1.55 PM Central. So anyway, but it says 6.14 AM on my thing. So I don't know. Shout out as always to Wes and Gabby, they're awesome. There's hero Wes, you can follow him on X at second floor Dallas. Gabby is at Jeffy Apologist. She runs Instagram. He creates other fun thumbnails and make sure the show is accessible everywhere. One place it's available.

You can get all the links at ATM show.com, ATM show.com. Let's see. What else did I want to tell you? tomorrow's deep dive. We'll do the Thursday deep dive at three o'clock Eastern. Steve friend, a FBI whistleblower, former FBI special agent. He will be here. We're going to, I took a line from a recent podcast of his cause he's has a show called the suspendables.

And I stole a line from his show and we're going to call this a malicious compliance and other tales of government fails. You like that? Maybe that's a tribute there to Jesse Jackson, who rhymed every time he spoke. This is that awkward time. The first five minutes here, because see, Brad and I are we checked our clocks today. It's the first time that it has actually come in handy to have an atomic clock.

Because when he started counting off the time on the clock on his wall, I was looking at mine. Yeah, I moved this guy. I moved him over there. See? Yeah, sure. And they're synced up. And so we're going to join forces with both stream. We're going to cross the streams at five after. So in 90 seconds from now, I will appear magically on his rumble channel for the Daily Mojo. You want to follow along over there, rumble the Daily Mojo. And he's going to magically appear over here.

on the At The Mic YouTube and there's so much chaos. It's so much chaos. Don't forget, speaking of Brad, here is his handle. At Real Brad Stags over on X. See that right there? And there's the other gang there with Rebecca and Kelly. They're part of the Friday live stream that we do. And the Wednesday wild card show, wild card Wednesday, I mean, is what it says right there. It could be anything. And I've got a few things that we're going to get to today.

And gosh, I don't know. I have a question for Brad and all of you. I'm to need you to help me to understand if, I have a problem with sugar or alcohol. And I think I can, or both. All right. I just put, I just got terrified there. I put my earbud in for Brad's live stream. And then I realized it was no, there's no audio. And I realized, no, I see. Cause see, I've got these.

These two go to this show. These two go to his show. So anyway, had to make sure that I can't put that earbud in yet because I'm hearing him talking to his audience. Now, if he follows the plan, then he's going to bring me up right now. And I got to bring him up too. Hang on.

I don't think it froze up. I've got Keith muted. I think he's done this to me. He's come in here. What do mean? Oh, look, there's the hold on a second. Can you hear the alarm? But hold on. I snoozed it. It's you because. You've got to the Yeah, I'm trying to follow the plan, except for some reason.

Yeah, I you up. brought you up.

Did you bring me up?

The plan is not following me and I don't know why.

I knew it.

Yes, you do and I don't honestly I don't know why that's there is that is I'll tell you what that is Because it's one of the things I wanted to okay, so we at least know that screen works. This is the the big kerfuffle over Candice Owens and Her Erica Kirk Documentary series now, I don't know Candice and

Okay

I don't know what she has said about Erica. I mean, I've not followed it that closely, but I do know that there's something weird going on. these, this guy right here, Muppet Masher, he says that a lot of influencers were sent this form, this letter, offered money to defend, to defend Erica and to shut down Candace.

And so this is like a big old scandal behind the scenes of all of these.

Yeah, color demon and stuff like that. Yes. Yeah, I saw that.

And so these are all of the people that apparently got this letter who are out there defending Erica. And I don't know Erica either. I don't know Erica. I don't know Candace. I don't know either one of them. And I don't know what the hell's going on, quite frankly. look at that.

Hey, before you before you continue, I just want to as a miracle. I want to tell the audience if there's audio problems or something like that, you got to let us know somehow because we can't hear it. and we can't know what we're doing. I don't want to find out two hours from now that Brad sounded like ass and not just because of which is because of technical difficulties.

just a minute. You know, let's just back up a little bit. Why are we here today? Why are we together again on this virtual stage out here? And I'll tell you why we're together because Keith didn't check the, he didn't check our internal memos. He was like, hey, gotta do something on Wednesday. I'm gonna keep everything nice and easy to remember because he thinks you're thick. And so he's like, hey, I'm gonna keep everything right there at two o'clock.

Central Eastern from Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, make it all nice and easy to find because again, you think you're kind of thick. I think you think he does. And so then I'm like, well, that's you you're doing this thing on Wednesday. That's when we

Yeah, it was kind of awkward when it came up on my show, because you said that and I was like, oh yeah, I totally knew that.

So since then, Keith has had to, how many times have you had to rub my feet? It's been an amazing, let me just tell you, if he has, if he ever offers to rub your feet, just take him up on it. Because he's good at it. obviously has. Well, I just, when I find something good, I like to share it with all seven members of.

You've broken our agreement already.

I know, cause no one's listening anyway. It's, this is just rehearsal, right? We're just practicing and we're, when we finally do put this thing, I promise I won't mention that or that thing with your little finger. Cause that is.

So Munchy says, Brad is a little hot. Now don't know what Munchy five zero means exactly by that. So let me try to pull your audio down a little bit. You do come in distorted on my end and I don't know what that's all about. Cause it does.

I don't know and again I'm going to repeat because it's really it's because I sound fine over here so I really don't give a damn what it says. Now the fact that we can even do this again is amazing.

It's a problem of mine.

I do think.

sound fine over here. yeah, how about this? How about I do I there's a button over here that says automatically adjust mic volume.

Okay, well then that might help. Hey look!

I don't know who Mike is, but did go away.

I don't know. I feel like I'm at a press conference now because I have my microphone for at the mic and I have my other microphone for WT. What's the proper way to say this is WT, huh? When's it?

Well, you know, if you are, um, if you, I mean, you just go all out and what the Wednesday. I don't even know what say. What? don't even know what say. What the fudge bomb.

Yeah, what is the

What does the, I've never heard. What the fudge, yeah I see it's not, it's not as good. It's a little, it's not tight, you know, if you do what the fudge goes.

lot of people think it's fuck, but it's not. It's fudge ball. And so we...

you didn't even think of that?

I, well, that really surprised me. But, so it's, it's, where was it? How old were you when you wanted to do this? we, talking about radio for those of you who are in radio and broadcasting. It's like this weird, horrible disease.

Eight years old.

It is it is you get I got afflicted and it's been like you said it's an expensive hobby now When you get bit by the radio you just there's no cure and There's a it's a podcast a few tweets down don't watch it now, but later you could go watch it large

It's very expensive.

That would throw all kinds of crap into the... That would be a monkey wrench in the machine.

I was a guest on the Truth Teller Tales show and basically my life story. Remember how at the mic used to be? I do. And you took two freaking episodes to get your entire blah, blah, blah out.

I have a lot of confessions.

Yeah, and so that's somebody did that to me. I was the guest.

And then and how long how long was yours story?

something.

Wow. See, that's still a lot when you sit down and talk about your, don't realize how interesting you are until you sit down and you start talking about yourself. And you go, damn, I sure am.

It's called Diary of the Mouth, and I only covered my career, like getting into radio at eight years old, or interested, I should say, up until today. I didn't even talk about the rest of my boring life. Why am here?

Dad used to call it being a, I don't know. My dad used to say it was being a chatty Cathy.

Okay, well your dad's nicer.

There was a there was a chatty cat You always look at me and say Brad you're a chatty Kathy shut the hell up, uh-huh. And I feel I'm sorry dad I didn't mean to make you bad

I thought my

I didn't know what my name, I wasn't positive what my name was until I was a teenager because my mom would call me Keith and sometimes Keith Thomas, but my dad would say like, come here, dammit and clean up your room, dammit. And then, know, I got called my name was dammit for about six or seven years.

Years, years, it's really crazy.

Hey, you want to see my star? I get the stitches out on Friday. Look at that,

I do want to see your scar, oddly enough. Hold on a second. Can I make you bigger?

Isn't that fun?

well you don't know how many times I have said

I'm asking for a friend here. Go. That'll I see it. Give it to me.

look at that. See, see on your, gosh, man, I can never. Yeah, I'm still small on my thing. My audience is like, I see a forearm. Your audience is like, holy crap, the man's Frankenstein.

smell on your thing, aren't you?

It's a huge you do have that is a big scar good for you. I like that That's very nice. And I would show you I've got my scar on my leg that I ran into a fence when I was 13 14 and barbed wire cut my leg. I mean I've had I've had it's been a rough life for me I don't know if you knew that or not, but it has That does work so what we generally do and again, we're just we're

Again, Keith thinks you're a bunch of trained monkeys. I don't. I think you're smart. And I think that you would be able to catch up with whatever, either of us are doing at any point during the course of the day, but he doesn't. Anyway, this is something I wanted to get to on the program this morning, but I didn't. And it's just weird. And I don't know the whole story.

What is it?

Oh, the Daily Mojo, that's a little show we do every day from...

Is that what that is? I've never read that. Is that what it says next to your name? says... Wait a minute. Are you telling me that my show is promoting your show and your station more than your show is promoting your show and your station? Yes. Because I guess if people are watching on yours, they already know how to find you. I got you out of that one.

Is that what it does?

That's right.

Yeah.

You think I mean, I you don't think that they you don't think they can get IDs either but I

The Daily Mojo.com. Okay, so on your show, The Daily Mojo.com, this morning you didn't get to something? What are we looking at?

get to this. I have to show my wand because this will be this is I'm just gonna say this is a this is very cool. It's a wand. does magic things. Anyhow, and it'll be for sale. It'll be for sale soon. What is it? Once it's for sale.

What does it do? Can you dim it? It can produce. us something. my gosh. Can you like like a rabbit come out of a hat or whatnot?

Right there.

Yes.

Hey, I've got a rabbit. Like literally the next room over. We could make this work somehow.

You have to be naked.

And then I, and then you, go like, go, and then I raise up the bunny and I'm like, Hey, look, Timmy just appeared, I'd probably, no, I'd probably get clawed to hell for your little magic trick for the, for the bit. I would need new stitches. Anyway, continue.

Is that an euphemism?

Anyway, so this

this headline tell me about this it's wild

Oh, no, I haven't seen I kept meaning to get to it and I never did get to it, but some teacher was hypnotizing his are you. No, no, no, awesome. I'm.

This is cool.

gonna be is one of one those things that

is our limitations of technology. So Brad's got this video that says, they hypnotized? So am I going to have to just relay what I'm seeing on the screen or should I see, don't forget, I gave you the handle earlier people. could go to

You're not that did you?

Hang on a second, hang on.

on a second. Hang on. Here we go. There you go. Did that show up as something? Here we go. In three. So this is all an experiment, people. Everything you're seeing today is a giantific experiment.

Wait,

Yep, hang on. Wait, wait, why is it?

Let's see the audio. Let's the audio comes through. Here we go. And go.

to did being hypnotized lead to their deaths. That's the question about three high school students who died within weeks of ice like content just for Wednesday afternoon after allegedly being wild card by their principal. Allison Hall has the details. These three teens from the same high school died within weeks of each other and they had all undergone hypnosis. Is this not the freakiest thing? I don't know if they're.

And I don't think they know if they're connected yet, but by their school principal. Now the baffling story is the subject that one shot there made me a little uncomfortable to begin with, so you investigate.

No, you'll see it again. ...died within weeks of each other, and they had all undergone hypnosis by their school principal. Now the baffling story is the subject of a new investigation discovery documentary, The Curious Case of the Principal Who Hypnotized His School.

Hold on, did they just add in like a frickin dark music? I love when music tells me how to feel.

They kinda did.

That's what music has always been designed to do. That's the essence of music, is it not?

Okay, that's fair. Okay, go ahead.

the same. Uh, 3 to be p hypnotized 16 year old Ma his football performance. his life in a car crash a hypnotized himself. g

dear.

What is happening?

High school principal hypnotizes students. George Kenny North Point High School in Florida starting around 2009 hypnotized more than 70 people, including students, staff and athletes to improve academic and athletic performance, despite not being a licensed therapist.

As anyone ever

I tried it. I did.

I don't think I'd be a good subject. I've never been like, no one's ever tried to professionally hypnotize me, no. I'm not sure I'd be a good candidate for it, because you have to like...

see, I've done that. I've done that. And then she got pissed off because I wasn't like drifting off far enough or what have you. It's like, I'm not good at, you know, relinquishing. So, you know, the thing is, right. And so, so I wasn't a good Guinea pig.

a little issue with control.

I don't think I would be either. but it's kind of weird that do I have a problem with a hip with a, with a principal hypnotizing.

But that's the thing, there's cluck like a chicken hypnotizing. And then there's like, hey, I'm gonna get you to a better place so that you can take suggestions and drive your car off a road, which I guess is what this was.

11 accident. Can you talk about the day of the? What?

I like look over. Ugh, this is a nightmare image in my head, mind you. And his arms are like straight and his head is just back.

All right, so this is the girlfriend, right, of the guy that we just saw playing basketball. So obviously this has been some time ago. She looks like an adult at this point in time.

no, look, she's got- she's adulting now, that sucks. She's in an office.

You ain't kidding. You know, somebody told me about adulting before I was one. don't I would I pretty sure I would have chosen a different profession.

Dude, I terrified myself once and the high school library at Walton high school there in Marietta, Georgia. And they had before the internet. That's right kids. There was a world before the internet and it showed you like all the professions in alphabetical order. And like I looked at professional broadcaster and it, don't even, I don't remember what the total was, but I do know that it was the lowest in the entire book that I saw. And yet I am in you to persevere.

Why Brad why did we do this?

Not smart.

I went to school for this.

I went to broadcasting school for this.

She may be, she hasn't moved yet. let's, uh, all right. Hey, you awake?

I he's out of.

it. Then another hypnosis subject, 16 year old Wesley McKinley took his own life and Wesley's death was followed by yet another suicide. That of britney Palumbo, who was allegedly hypnotized by the principal months before for test anxiety. After an investigation,

Is that were they just looking for things these these kids had in common and that just I mean they all had lunch on a Tuesday also.

Wait a minute, hold on. Stop, hold on. Dude, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Yesterday was Tuesday, Holy crap. have the right.

and

Okay, it does and it's a separate issue It feels like a stretch to try to connect these debts, but at the same time I heard in this report He hypnotized over 70 students. What is this guy doing? What a get a hobby go do broadcasting. It's awesome. It's fun

He had been warned, hold on a second, I can put this over here so y'all can see it and it'll be good practice for me moving things around. So I'll do that and that and this and share that. And the headline reads, lawsuits settled for $600,000 for families of three teens who died after being hypnotized by the school principal.

He was not a licensed, sit in the therapist. Again, I don't know what I feel about the licensing thing because you have to get a license to cut hair, which is just the state's way of getting their amount of flesh out of you. So you can cut hair. Remember the woman here in, uh, in Dallas who refused to close her shop and the, the Rona scam and they came and arrested her. I mean, so yeah. She, she, what?

think her life is still a living hell or somebody is. Are we talking about the same person? can't remember. I don't know. I so. If you challenge their power, I don't think she is.

She ran for office though. Yeah.

Thank you, Democrat.

Cosmet, I'll just...

And that's going to be on Wild Card Wednesday coming up.

I don't know. Whenever you get- It's always eastern. The bulk of the population is in the eastern time zone.

Do you use Dynos or Central?

What do they know? They live in the East Coast. So three, four, so four o'clock Eastern. It seems so like, so it was a Shelly Luther who was the Dallas salon owner and did, and she ran, she was jailed for a week for defying the lockdown. And then I think she ran for office, but I can't find that one. So anyway, he does this, this principal had been warned, says against hypnotizing students. Okay. Well, that's a problem.

hell I don't

He hypnotized dozens of high school students, three of whom died within days of hypnosis.

Oh, she won. She's a state rep. House District 62. You know where that is.

I didn't know, I didn't know she won. thought she. I'll be darned. Where is that?

I'm sure it says on our Twitter from thrown in jail for opening against government mandates, brain aneurysm and stroke survivor state representative, Texas house district 62.

Good for her. she making a difference now?

Is anyone making a difference now, Brad?

That's a good question because you talked to Raven Harrison this morning. You ever had her on any?

I don't know who that is. Raven?

Raven Harrison. Raven Harrison is amazing. And if you ever need a

We had her on talk. You had her on this morning. On what? Like what? keep talking about something in the morning.

on the Daily Mojo at thedailymojo.com

Do I have to promote your show for you?

Well, you know, it doesn't hurt.

So Raven Hiroth, she's like a life coach or what?

She is a congressional candidate. She is also an author and she is just an awesome, awesome... If you ever need just like a rah-rah, if you need just to get your mojo back, if you feel like the world is kicking you right and squaring the sack, five minutes with Raven and she makes you feel like you can do anything. It's truly amazing.

I'm trying to reconcile a square and sack right now.

that reminds me of that video where the, all the shapes, put them in one in the square hole. You know that one? Seriously, you are not aware of that pop culture reference.

I know, Idiocracy.

All the shapes in the same square hole.

so tell me about rate where's raven running for congress

That would be in Okay, that would be in Florida you're gonna get the The part where she's running that would be the six. What district is it it is? I Forgot that it was February this morning. I Kid you not I thought it was I Know I thought it was March. I don't know what district she's in

part of

It's been that way for a while now.

Well, now you can go to ravenharrisonforcongress.com and you can find out. This is the square. This is a square. ever. So guess which spot that goes square. That's right. It goes in the square. Yes. And how about this rectangle? That one also goes in there. Up next, we've got this.

I feel like I'm getting a

I've not seen you.

Square hole.

yeah, look at that, huh?

Thin rectangle. The thin rectangle. That's right. It goes in the square hole. And up next, a cylinder. The circle. I think that goes in the circle. The square hole. Now, we've also got the semicircle right here. Do you see a slot that would fit the semicircle? The semicircle. That's right. It's the square hole. Up next, the triangle.

this.

We know what hole that goes in, right? That's right. Square hole. And up next, have the arch. You guessed it. It goes in the square hole. See, they all end up going in the square hole because people will take the path of least resistance if ever given the opportunity. There's a life lesson in the middle of that. You can never understand or predict.

human behavior in most circumstances. Because they'll generally do what you didn't think they were going to do. Like people who maybe weren't going to find Wild Card Wednesday at

So I to shut.

Eastern. Three Eastern. Now confined it.

Where? They can find it at real Brad stags on X. Are you confused yet?

Because I am. If I push this button, what happens?

Wait, I disappear. Okay.

Nope, that worked. I'll be dark. I was gonna move on to this.

looks sad like why is she so sad because she feels dumb now because she doesn't know what shape goes into what

Well, no, but she does know what shape goes into which. I'll do.

Your human behavior will piss you off every time. I don't know which camera to look at.

I've not looked at yours once. If I'm being honest, I haven't looked at your camera once. Hey, how y'all doing over there at the rumble. It's rumble.com. What's your, what's your role? What, what do you want me to send people at real Brad Staggs on that?

in the press conference.

Yeah, you can go to

Where where where do they go?

you can go to thedailymojo.com.

Is it streaming live at thedailyworldshow.com?

It is right now. but I can I can through the magic of stream stream analogy. I can make it I can make it go anywhere. And it's about to join us.

Wait a minute, my audience is seeing- Hold on, my audience is seeing something that your audience is not, unless this is the- Now we see it.

They don't see the guy cocaine me

Again, maybe delay them.

He did this on purpose. He totally did this on purpose.

I can't get close to your camera because then it's like a close-up like a like an extreme close-up of like my beard for my audience so it's kind of awkward anyway continue he did what now I don't like this guy I just want to go on the record saying I don't well I mean his music's okay I used to like it when I didn't know what he looked like because the singing voice is pristine

closer.

Why don't

Yeah, for those of you confused, not the same Al Green. Wait, what? I know, it's crazy. He did, though, as I mentioned before, have a stint as the Geico caveman. Is that racist?

No, no, because it's like, where are they now? I like those, you know?

I do, like the Geico cavemen as well, but they were pissed off that people were calling them stupid. Remember that? Yeah, because so simple, even Al Green could do it.

Yeah,

got his ass replaced by a lizard like a gecko thing

I kind of yes and it's possible that the Gecko the Geico lizard the Geico Gecko would probably do a better job in Congress than than Al Green but that's that's pure conjecture but he was he was not having it did you heard this right

Not this clip!

this is good. you know, the president has depicted a former president and first lady as apes. he said that Gerald Ford and Betty Ford were apes. I don't know.

Keith Malinak (32:56.14)

Why is he doing that? That's not right. That's slander. Like if you're dead, is it still slander though?

Out!

Is it? That's a really

Let me ask my attorney.

As you're looking into Mr. Grockman, remind me to tell you sometime. I was telling our mutual friend, Jeff Fisher, and I use that term lightly. I was...

Which is ironic in and of itself because of you know the fat bag and all that

telling him off the air this morning about why I didn't get a 3.0 GPA in college. It's really sad.

because you had to be smarter.

see how to be smarter it i i it's gonna take a while to explain maybe i'll on wild card wednesday maybe later i'll tell the story it's a tragic tragic tale but why did i start to talk about that

because you were killing time while I asked my attorney, Mr. Grockman, if it is slander. Have you noticed that Mr. Grockman, because I know you use him as an attorney on occasion? He's a good guy.

Sir Grockman the learned calling a dead person a bad name or insulting them is not legally slander or defamation in the United States including Texas and then he says where you are located and then he tells me where I'm located you bet you know what don't keep me flexing on me Mr.

You know what you want.

No, hey, you know what though? You could send the most obvious picture. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This is the sloth part of the show where I reach for something with my left arm and then I realize I can't, it's too heavy because it just got surgically repaired. Then I have to reach over here with this one and then come back. Okay.

Should I play Stairway to Heaven while you're doing that? You should play...

I hate you. So you should play or you should challenge Croc. Everybody should play this game. Take a picture and run it through Grock of anything and tell Grock, ask Grock, say, where am I?

Where is this? And it tries, and it does a lot of thinking and it's not right. And I don't tell it because you don't want to train it, So anyway, it's fun. It should be obvious. I took a picture of it.

Like take a picture of okay, all right, but not like a body part because that's immediately where I went with a body part and I'm like Anybody

You win it's not even Friday and that's where you win No, I mean I go up a giant warehouse that had the name of the company on it I said Where is this warehouse located? you had to go to Google Street View and I don't want to get too smart. So let's just go ahead. I'm sorry something about the cave

I

Speaking of smart, back to the Reverend Al Green. The behavior has been declared racist by a good many people. Oh, hang on a second. The behavior of calling Gerald and Betty Ford apes has been declared racist by a good many people. Why? exactly how many people have called it racist? Because why is it

No.

What?

racist. I see. I see. I'm sorry. I misspoke earlier. You're saying that Gerald and Betty Ford are slandered because they were caught. I was thinking, I'm sorry. I'm so well, who did you? I haven't even had a third.

The of the United States would be referring to some other President and First Lady as apes. That's the whole thing here, is that the Reverend Al Green is not telling the truth.

But he didn't.

I'm so lost. I haven't even had a drop of alcohol and I'm confused. What's that all about?

I have been snorting so, I mean, it is, so anyway, the Reverend Al Green goes on to make a bigger fool of himself. But I don't think the president has really received the message that it's unacceptable to call. He seems to think that he can do these. Why does he keep talking to call Buddy and Gerald Ford eight? It is unacceptable to do that. And I, if someone called you an ape, would it bother you?

the

second haven't they referred to jump as like an orangutan

Haven't they suggested that he is a primate as well? Huh. And the, the, who, well, we know who it was that put the ape people at the end of the video.

Yeah, what was it? It was so out of place. Who did that?

It was his name. What is his name? I said I knew who it was

Well, why you look that up? I want to say that my initial reaction was it took away from the excellent information contained in there about voter fraud. But then it got me thinking, I wonder how many people watch that voter fraud video that otherwise wouldn't have.

Exactly. That's the, where is the damn thing that he, I love this headline at the Guardian. Al Green addresses his black people aren't apes protest. Wait, did he, he came out and said that's crazy. Hold on a second here.

I'll looking. I'll keep looking. We're both. Hey, ladies and gentlemen, this is the part of the program where you get to watch both Brad and I do Google searches.

Katie, that video has since been removed by the Trump administration and that is part of the story? Yeah, it was among the dozens of posts and reposts on the president's true social account overnight. It started as a voting machine conspiracy video, but at the end cut away to an AI-generated video with the faces of former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama superimposed on the bodies of

Donald Trump demonstrated once again how utterly disgusting and racist he is to his core with a video that he posted to animal. Okay, and then we've got donkeys like AOC. Pritzker's heavier, so they went with elephant. Okay, and that's the dude right there at Azaria. I don't know how you say that. I don't know. At you see the watermark at Azaria's.

underscore X. He's the guy that did it. He's got a bunch of these over at so surprising. Okay, Zoran.

Sorry. was distracted because my tab got switched to X and for some reason it was behind and I was so confused because the pictures on the screen were different than the words in my head and I've not even barely started drinking. This is going to get bad. Let me just

STRANGLED ON GOLD!

And all I've had, I've not, what did I put in here? I put something in here and it's.

Let me show you this real quick. I this was funny. Tim Poole posted this. He's like, what does Al Green mean by this? Black people rent apes?

I don't get see how do I show them that over here?

I'm gonna have to ask Phil Bell about that. Bell is black so he would know and because they all know each other,

That's what I hear. That's what I hear.

There was, we were on an airplane, where were we going? It doesn't matter. There were four of us traveling together, me, the Bethy Knott, who is white, my friend Pam, who is black, and we were sitting on a jet on, I think we in Vegas, and.

Across the aisle there was there were three seats. There was a person in the middle of it was a white dude. It was a white dude. Maybe a white check black dude in the window seat and black woman comes down the aisle and is about to sit in the empty aisle seat. So it would have been black man, white woman, black woman and white woman looks up a black woman and says, do you want to trade seats so you can sit next to him?

I couldn't understand, I don't even know him!

That is...

I thought I would die laughing. The most hysterical moment I think I've ever witnessed in my life. You have a story about a black person?

That's awesome.

I even know. of a cross-country No, I was sitting on a row of three seats, right? And so I'm up against the window and these two guys from from the country of India They sat down on the aisle in the center Well, it's not they don't make bath soap there. I'll tell you that and I will just say I spent the entire fight

Is that what they make curry?

Okay.

kind of sitting like this. I had my air, I didn't care how cold I got, had my air on full blast. And I actually, there was a moment or two during the flight where I thought, is there a way to crack a window without getting sucked through it?

you

And was there?

I couldn't figure it out, but I wanted to die.

I'm glad you brought that up because the sponsor of this particular portion of this program is smellmymojo.com.

Smell my mojo!

SmellMyMojo.com is that's the portal that takes you into sugar Creek goods and Valerie owns sugar Creek goods Valerie is awesome and This is all handmade stuff She started making soap and moisturizers and that because her daughter had an allergic reaction to some commercially available product And so she had to come up with a solution So she did and she makes all of these really I mean and they smell good Eat them though. Don't eat them

Yeah, so before you know

Don't eat him.

You go to, you go to smell my mojo.

on my mojo. And those are all fairly simple words to smell, so even stupid people.

Why do I feel like you're looking at me when you're saying that?

I wasn't looking to see the guy behind you. So anyway, even though the creamy coconut smells really good, do not eat it. That's just good advice. Wait, was that Lionel Richie?

it's Richard Simmons,

I couldn't see it. said that wasn't the anyway smell my mojo.com is the is the is the website and I'm looking for the the chick who this more I did have a question because she I need to know if this woman is racist and and she should go hold on I will find her. Yeah. here she is.

Let's see, that would be copy link address. And then we go over here and we switch that around. And there's the Biden monkey in the tree.

I see, I see some on my mojo. That's what I'm seeing.

I know why. Hang on. Okay. I know why. Because I haven't done this. All right.

I don't know how many cities. OK, I don't know how many cities do it this way, but I love that Chicago puts the mayor up there and let's people just rant at his lame ass. And it's so good to watch. just it's healthy. It's healthy for a democracy to have people get up there and just rant at leaders. Let's go.

Negro.

Is it that Chicago was able to find someone worse than Beetlejuice?

And how? They're begging for Richard Daly at this point.

Did they?

Yes. Yes, but, no, the whole daily family and, and yeah, they did it daily. a matter of fact, they, you know, why they call it the windy city. Yeah, I'll bet you do. You have to know why they call it the windy city.

Does it blow?

Cause it... Cause it... Cause it blows?

Not in a good way, but it's not called the windy city because of the, there's a joke in there about something. Everybody knows it sounds of blows because Baltimore sucks.

every state's got that you know politics yeah

It's the politics, it's not the physical wind. That's why Chicago is the Windy City, because of the politicians and all their hot air. That's the origin, the entomology of the Windy City. Did you know that?

Did you know that? I was getting nervous. I was looking at all the shit that I wanted to talk to you about and I was afraid Brad's gonna leave before I get into all this stuff.

Oh, I am. I'm just riding the clock at this point. But this chick right here. What? The clock. wants it? The clock. teddy bear. never, never.

Come on now, good boy! Okay, sorry, go ahead.

I mean this guy, Brandon Johnson obviously did not ever take the, or didn't learn the lesson, don't ever F with a black chick because she will kick your ass. that's true.

Chicago's red look at that shirt

And I don't know if she's a Democrat or she's like, don't know. But I do know she is a whole bucket of awesome. Since you want to crash out, some of y'all say y'all willing to go to jail for it. Tom Homan, make an example at this Negro right here first. Please come here first, because you know what? We're going to help you. We want to for real.

She gets them crap alone.

that you hold on a second stopper time stopper time just a second just a second stopper time ma'am I would ask that you if you want to continue speaking if you want to continue speaking you have to make sure that your language is appropriate

What word was inappropriate, what word and or phrase was inappropriate in what she said?

If she had said it with a long E, would that have made it better?

She did say Negro. Negro. When did Negro become a...

did she? Okay, sorry.

I don't think that's a bad, I thought she said it differently.

She said Negro. She didn't say darkie. She did not say spirit chuckers. She didn't say any of those things that you you told him you can't say.

Go!

Hold on, so if we got up there and she said, hey, really want to promote the, what is it, the United Negro College Fund? Is that okay?

Right. That's a really, or the National Association for the Advancement of Negro People.

No, I don't.

It's not what what is it?

I don't think it is. think it's colored.

Whoa, hold on a minute, you can't say colored!

I'm giving you the word that was missing from-

You're a prick! How dare you call them, it's not colored, it's people of color.

No, it's not the NAA POC. It's not NAA POC.

difference.

How do you know?

What the hell kind of response is that? How do I- Prove I swear! This is- I'm gonna start drinking more!

What did you know?

This, people are getting fed up and I will be out there leading the parade of, F you, you're not weaponizing any more words in a retard.

No more words. No more words, you gay retard. No more, you you've had your, your, your, your word fill.

You've got your one word, you've weaponized.

So here's the thing. If you want to weaponize more words, then you have to release a word to us that we can now use en masse, no matter your color, race, sex, whatever. Okay? That's my rule with the damn board games in this house. You buy a new freaking board game and bring it into this house of clutter. I'm pointing at me. Then you release three board games from the closet. One.

That's three to one ratio. That's harsh right there. Freebie38 says, I've drank in a lot. I like boobs. The color doesn't matter. Right.

3

One for-

As daddy rules

Cat wants some black titty. Crafting Freak, I make handmade items. I also have handmade bags. Crafting Freak does, she makes some nice stuff and I can't remember the name of the little thing you go to. It's like a craft thing. It's not Etsy. There's like another, I can't remember the name of it.

Okay.

No, we're not moving off of this now I'm pissed

Curtis says, focus guys, focus, on what?

You're right. I still don't have an answer on the audio from 227 BM central question to let you know My chat isn't populating

They don't listen. They're just so...

Have you tried changing soap?

Where would I go for a new soap?

Using soap. Have you tried using soap? I'm using soap.

Water is good enough. If water was good enough for a moth, Pappy!

you

used to wash me down and he'd touch it.

Hold on, hold on, hold on, I'm sorry. Sorry, you just, you made me think. I got a survey from the hospital and it said, have you seen any signs of it? Okay, and that was three days ago. Well, now it's starting to itch and turn red and I'm a little concerned. Now want that survey back.

Thank

Wait a minute, which part of your body is itching?

Yeah, right. Be more specific. Since your surgery, have you had any

Because I'm just saying it's just it could be it could be very bad if any part of your body does in fact itch and turn red.

Real quick, real quick. Let me just give a shout out to Steven Stoneman. you're in the audience, raise your hand. Thank you for the care package. The beers from Michigan that you sent will make it home. If Pat and Jeffy would ever, you know, allow me to pass out the gifts from your gift box from Michigan. So thank you, Steven Stoneman. If you're not in the audience, then screw you. I know, Q.

And her damn thing you just said, because I was unplugged. But I'm glad you said that because Lizzy B. Said her birthday present to us as as people in the Daily Mojo audience know that you need to do. Holy crap. And I forgot and I didn't open the rest of it this morning because she sent cookies and they were awesome. And she's also sent a while a raw wildflower honey, which is

Trumpers, honey and excuse me, and fruit. Jack.

look at that though. And that's a gift from Lizzie.

Lizzie B. Lizzie B. and Sal out in California and they again with it's an old tradition that we have and thank you Lizzie B. and happy birthday but it's an old tradition that we've had for a long time that people when they have a birthday they send us the presents we don't send them the presents.

the good thing don't have birthdays. I'm you shit. I want to point out that Lep says that he's answered the audio question repeatedly on Brad's rumble. Mary says, hey, we haven't been seeing your posts. She had to refresh the page, see? Isn't that frustrating?

It's very frustrating. This technology is just, it really irritates me. It doesn't work right.

Can I just, right, as good as it is, it still sucks. And before you continue, a Chicago flips red chick. Can I just say, need people to message me right now. All you have to do, just send me a DM on X at Keith Malinak. And literally, I just want the DM to say, take food to the toy room. Take food to the toy room. Because I sit here.

about

Every time I sit here and do a live stream I get hungry and there's nothing up here for me to eat nothing What have I done?

DM. DM. Okay, sorry. thought-

Give me a BM? What the hell's wrong with you?

This is not Kologard. Have you ever tried that, Kologard thing, you crap in the box?

No! I'm not- I promise you, I'm never mailing my crap anywhere, okay?

I just, I've not done that and I just, think the logistics of it would be kind of weird. Like do you take the box?

Wait, are you squatting over the box and stuff?

right you know what saying it's like but or do you in and then like tongs like just go out to the kid and get the salad tongs and you know and then into the

Yeah, I don't know. I honestly have not thought about that, but now that you're mentioning it, I want to know how much that pays.

I just want everyone now to think about when you see the Kologard commercial on TV, the logistics of the whole thing, because that means that somewhere somebody is opening up a box of your crap. And especially if it went through the post office. And before I forget, because this really needs to be mentioned, the next time the post office wants to raise the rates, I would like to point out that the Bethy Knott, who is here at the motel,

part of the Daily Mojo program. I don't know what the hell she cleans the rooms and stuff like that. so at the March of Dimes, they ended up having to move their office here in Dallas. And so she wanted to make sure that the post office would forward the mail to the new address. And it was a post office box because they're moving out of the office to lower the overhead cost. So she sends a in July.

of the last year, sent a letter, just an envelope, addressed to the March of Dimes and the street address, which was Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway, Dallas, Texas, and just to see if they would, again, forward it to the post office box that she had rented. And I just wanted to thank the post office for finally sending it back two days ago with the no doubt return to sender

post office by so yay go USPS. They deliver for you.

They didn't they didn't call guard it or what was it called Cola Yeah, they didn't do that right I couldn't find out how much it makes to do that Like what if you did that? What if you were for the city of San Francisco by day? And you worked at the colo guard by night. You could make a pretty penny just dealing with other people's poop

They didn't drop a booster.

if it'd be a pretty penny or if it'd be a shitty penny.

All I gotta say is, wild card!

how do we change the graphics and stuff because this has to be professional and Well, it has to look right. I mean you can't just look up and say you can't do that

Why not? We just did. You just did.

Druggie. This is where you take over because it's officially the end of- Wednesday.

love that guy.

That's where we're going to do. We're going to play the Ugandan journalist guy. like it. So is this time for you? That's not the name of the show. mean, actually, I need to workshop that. sure?

What are you doing?

It's not

drug. Wednesday. That's a good name for a show.

You are gay Wednesday. It rhymes! Let's go! You are gay Wednesday. That'll get the clicks.

You are gay. Wednesday. You are.

Listen, look, I know you got things to do and you're only contractually obligated to do your thing, which I guess ends now, is that right?

I'd be, you know, dust. You'd see just a big pink flash.

Are you gonna hang out a little bit?

Can I? Okay. Cause I saved something for you because you were a no show on the Friday live stream. And that's not a guilt trip. It's just that I've been saving a tab open for you. You weren't there. I mean, you said you were going to be there and then you weren't. then it's like.

I'm a liar. All right. I'm Ilhan Omar in a white suit

that you're going with Henry Rollins. I'm a liar. Hold on a second. Let me find this here. want to show this to you. Well, I know it's all the tabs. There's just too many tabs, man. there's a lot of things that I saved for you. there's a picture of me and a negligee.

Good to see you're prepared.

little guard sample.

So, so AZML65, that just rolls right off the tongue, sent me this. Your cashier was Uranus. There you go. Your cashier was... I'm just trying to figure out the dynamics of that. How does that work? How does that work?

Yeah

you

How does that work?

They can give change.

Do you need the roll of quarters?

honey.

Be careful of paper cuts.

be careful of paper cuts. Anyway, your cashier was Uranus. I had that tab open the entire Friday show and I was like, boy, as as he shows up, Susie pops up down that window, we're going to do the anus thing. I mean, the Uranus thing. Not my anus.

way over.

Tell me when we go live just so I can be prepared. Just, I mean, just let me know. Let me know when you're ready to go live.

And three, two, one. Welcome to this edition of At the Mic. I'm your host, Keith Malinak. We're just hanging out here. It's a well-tard Wednesday. uh, whoo. I tell you, if you've been hanging out, been hanging out for a while, I don't know why, but if you have been,

Who? Baby, please no. Second.

Freebie38 tipped us five bucks. And thank you Freebie38.

Where are you seeing?

I'm not in the Rumble Cat room.

Maybe 38, 38, 39. Does the Bethy need an Italian in her?

that's a good turn. don't know. Is that like a sandwich or what?

You know what you can do is you could go to the, let me see if this is right. Is this right? Yes. Yeah, here we go. Here's my Venmo. There's where you need to be tipping right there. And then Brad, I don't know where yours is. How convenient. I've misplaced Brad's Venmo.

That is so weird that you would do that. mean...

Just go to the profile section there of at real Brad stack Okay, so this wrote this blowed into my yard and there's two pages of a test for a government position See if you can tell what job this is Okay, the center line of a taxiway is marked with a blank line These are the tests right? It's a dashed yellow be continuous yellow or C continuous white

I know.

Can I?

Continuous white.

No, continuous yellow. An H inside a large cross is the recommended marking for a blank heliport. Hospital Civil Military.

yes you know hell it's a hospital you see it all the time with the no h

Military, military, military.

with an X in it? said but it was an H inside an X. You said something funky which is what made me all

an H inside a cross anyway these are the questions my gosh listen to this these are the questions that become my air traffic controller ready a blank consists of markings of pairs of three then two then one rectangular bars each side of the runway centerline 500 feet apart that's called the touchdown zone not the touchdown zone with like the touch

Like butthole.

That's what it says here on my script. I don't know why you wanted me to say butthole there, but I just did. I, I, you write it, I read it and that's why we get along so well. So butthole.

I don't want to read anymore of this. I'm already bored with the FAA training. Okay, so, um... I love the show The Y-Files. I don't often get to watch it, but when I think of it, I'm like, oh, let's see what AJ and Echo Fisher are up to. Now, don't be running off to see them right now. They'll wait. They'll wait for you.

So, yeah.

Will they?

This should have been the last thing I talked about. Man, I'm a dumbass. Anyway, so the latest episode featured some cool old calls from the Art Bell Coast to Coast AM days, which I lived off of in college. And then when I was a board operator in Atlanta, and I mean, I loved Art Bell. And one of the things they talked about was when there was used to be a phone, a pay phone in the middle of the desert, Mojave Desert, and people would call it.

and then random people would answer it and it was like it was before the internet you know it was and early days the internet my point was you would just talk to random people you would call people would call from australia whatever and then whoever was there would pick it up and so eventually since it was in the middle of the desert

you

then the government said, no soup for you, there's too much damage happening out here, right? And so they took away this payphone that had been forgotten since the 1940s when it used to be a little settlement out there. Everything!

ruins everything.

They really are.

hear him say that part. I must have fallen asleep.

Okay, so I'm gonna give this a call. Hey, I'm gonna call right now unless you want to do it on your screen over there. Do you have a better setup than me? Are you gonna be here for this?

say real fast because somebody will beat us to it you ready? did you get it? nobody else heard it right? lep lep that's that's important information thank you sir on the audio seven six zero

It's a game. We're getting punked.

I'm gonna do five. Five. Goodbye. You! Bitch!

fuck you!

We're calling it back. It's a challenge. The number you have dialed has been changed to a conference call.

Now we're

Press 0, 4, B, Press 1, 2, 9, I pressed 1. I pressed 1.

you

Turn it off, Fred! What the hell's wrong with you?

That scared me. Are we gonna do it through all the numbers?

anything anymore.

Why? Because now I'm going to two. I'm going to wait for it. Press one. Press zero. Two. I'm to turn down now.

For the who?

wait a minute. You're on.

Can they hear you? Hello? I know. Hey, can you hear me? I can. This is a little weird. Keith, I'm not sure if they can hear. Hold on a second. I'm going to bring this up to the, how can I have them hear you too? Because you're coming into a different pipeline. See, there's two of us. Hi, what should we call you? My name's Brad.

Who is this?

Hello, Jericho. Hello, Jericho. Keith is over there.

Hey Jericho, can you hear Keith? I'm the annoying one.

Can you hear Keith Jericho?

No, cannot. Say something, thank you.

Hey Jericho, where are you?

How is it you can bleed through my earpiece every other time and then when I want you to you don't come through? You'd have to probably call him on your end and then and that's a two. So Jericho, are you like the operator of the Mojave phone booth now or is this just like a party line and people just call it and talk?

Jericho.

Okay, I'll do that.

From what I've gathered, it's essentially like a party line. Kind of like in the 90s where you call one of those 1-800 numbers. Ah, except we're not being charged $800 a minute, I hope. I really hope not. So you just called this number. Did you just call it? Or have you been waiting on the phone for a while or what? Thanks for that, Keith. I've been hanging out on here. People come and go.

I'm a truck driver, that's what I'm doing right now. And so I just kind of stay on the line, keeps me occupied. Oh, wow. So you drive in the highways and byways of the country. we are actually on a little radio program called Wild Card Wednesday and another one called the Daily Mojo. we're just kind of, well, that's what we do is we hang out here a lot in these two rooms and we.

we just we end up talking and it kills our time too. like to call it an expensive hobby, but so you don't mind by talking to us. Yeah, sort of kind of yes, except without the license Keith. You can talk now, can't you?

Okay, can you hear me Jericho? Okay, so check this out Jericho. I guess I pushed the... no.

Yeah.

What kind of radio do you It's bad radio for the most part. Just bad amateur.

really bad sucky amateurish amateurish I love the amateur view because that actually sounds like

I dabble with ham radio and GMR stuff. I don't have my ham radio.

Okay, so I'm glad you guys are making friends here, but I gotta say something important. All right, so if you call from a cell phone, Jericho, and you push the wrong...

calling out of.

like talking about

I'm in Dallas and I can hear you, Keith. I just think that maybe what you were saying wasn't that interesting.

Jericho just finds me boring, I guess. Hello?

I can't hear another guy, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to talk over anyone. You can't hear Keith?

So the first person he was talking to was in his head.

I can only hear you.

Yeah, see, you thought he talking to me. He was talking to the voices in his head.

What did you do with Keith? Did you hit the two? Did you hit two?

No no no, I'm not on the phone anymore. Because I hit- this is what I've been trying to explain for last three minutes.

Alright!

Sorry, Jericho. Hang on a second. the different button? He did. Keith is not real smart. He hit his head as a child and we've been trying to teach him English ever since and it really, really isn't sticking. But he's giving me like a timeout sign. So hang on, Jericho. Well, Keith, what are you trying to say to me?

So so Brad repeat everything I say so that Jericho can hear what I'm saying, you know. Do that. So I thought that was OK. And then I and I got a text that then I post one I pushed to and then I got I got I got a text and it says the clock ticks in vain between life and empty void. We rot in the queue.

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to. Yeah, that's nice idea. Right. The right number.

Good to it!

Okay, but here's the thing. I just heard a female voice. I'm sorry to gender you without asking, but who is the woman?

Hello?

I think that's not Keith. Keith sometimes identifies that way, but not today.

What do you mean it's not?

I press 2 then what do push?

You should just press 2 and you should be in there.

Do I press zero?

you have to no no no you just you wait until she says the press press 2.

I did, I did. And now I'm lonely, all by myself out here. my gosh, y'all, if you keep pushing the wrong button.

Press 2 and you should be in there.

Sorry, Jericho, Keith is, we don't like to call him retarded because sometimes he thinks-

You get these weird,

but he is kind of retarded. So you get a text and then you pop in. And Keith is like in the next room from me, but he can't, it's a long story as to why he can't come in here. anyway, while Keith is still trying to figure out the for pattern of technology.

Lucky to-

Having a good time making fun of you.

Yeah, come on, Keith, you're out. Yeah, Kea, Jericho says, come on, Keith, you're missing out.

I can hear Jericho just fine! He can't hear me!

Get in here and help us make fun of you. What? Okay, so did I, was it just me or was I hallucinating some chick said hello? Is she just like, is she, is she like eavesdropping on our conversation now?

Just press two.

I keep pressing F-ing 2.

I don't hear, okay, I don't hear the tone on your phone making the two sound.

This is really embarrassing, Keith. I mean, if I can't...

She just hung up on me! The bitch hung up on me! Goodbye. You know what? I'm gonna let you and Jericho- No, no, you got a new bestie. Okay?

Shoot, you know what? should be able to like conference. Can I come?

Thank

Hello? Jericho, can you hear Keith?

This is worth it. Right? Can I hang up? Can I hang up? Yeah.

This is.

Well, all right, I guess you scared everybody off. right.

Where's Jericho? I heard him.

All right, are we all on there now or? wait a second, hold on. How about...

This is most suckiest bunch of socks that ever did suck.

All right, think you're in there now, All right, Keith, you got it. I can hear you and can hear Jericho.

That's

Okay, but where? can't hear you.

I think I

Hey! Wow, that was... We're here!

Well, where, Jericho, where are you?

Kansas City.

Here I come. Am I right?

Are you like a long distance? Are you like, hauling fruits and vegetables? Can you tell us what you're, is it like top secret?

you

I haul cars, but I'm home daily. I don't do the over the road stuff anymore. cool. I like this.

even nowadays it's not much but I'll take what I can get.

That's why 40's off for you.

It pays very well. uh... I hope that it gets you in your debt, Yeah. Yeah. Keith, what I think he's trying to say is he's making more money than you and I put together right now.

But I hope you have a

Amen. So how old are your kids?

So maybe at this moment, let's see, my oldest is 17. Then I got four kids total. Good. And my daughter younger than her, she's 14. And they're nine. You guys have a lot in common, Keith.

So what point do you say, look, they're good enough. This is probably the peak work. Time to get back in the room.

more money.

shoot, probably since before they were born.

Yeah

Jericho. That's a that's what moms are for. Jericho. I've been there a few times. Yeah, my ex wife is actually from Wiley. wow. You get along with her? No, not at all. I've got one of two. I've got one of those two. And I mean, hates me like a bad infection.

Did you ever come down to Dallas?

but it's funny. It's really a challenge in life almost to find a woman who is as mean and vile as one of my exes. is truly, I don't know how I was able to do it, but I found somebody, notice I'm not mentioning any names, that way I can't get sued, but I'm not sure, mean, is your ex-wife mean and vile?

she's made accusations about me the worst accusations you can ever make about a man. Okay, answer my question and that's a saying I can't. What is wrong with women?

Hey, hold on. Two quick things. Hillary Clinton.

I'm a nerd.

I have not.

Okay, so then that's why you're not a me. Someone is violent. what was the- Someone violent. then I gotta- Have you ever seen- Have you ever seen the TV show- Jericho? Jericho?

In what was the word? Mean? Question for Jericho.

Yeah, that a great show.

Why did they end the way they did?

Yeah.

I guess they just need get some views, I don't know, but they definitely owe to...

more. As a good show.

Yeah. What are you drinking there, Keith? I don't know what it's...

tower bucket. there's that over here. We're crafted in. Everything's

It's many syllables, especially this late in the afternoon. So, uh, well, feel like, I've contributed all I can to the party.

Are you on X?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What's your handle? Put your handle on it for good, everyone.

Okay.

I'm damn it. right. Right. I know. That's how they suck you in. right. So who is the, I'm assuming you've called this number before. What's the weirdest experience you've ever had calling the Mojave phone booth, excluding outside of today?

This one.

Uh, yesterday was first time I've called, honestly, but, jeez, there's people just going on about their personal life. Like, like it was nothing. Stuff would take me years to open up to a therapist, Isn't that weird? I probably, yeah, like there's this one guy talking about how he was 12 years old and lost his virginity to a 16 year old babysitter. I was like, fuck it. Wow. That's cool and all, but man, like, that's immoral. Right.

He's 12 years old. mean, used to call them. I used to call the phone.

you

Yeah, nice.

Who's this? Who's the voice we just heard? Georgia. Your name is Georgia or you're from Georgia? No, they call me Wolf. Wolf? Hey Wolf, what's up? Yeah. Yeah, I've been calling this number since the 19th.

No.

So some of that shit may or may not be useful to even talk to right now. Right. I mean, we're kind of wasting everybody's time. Honestly, y'all listen to our bell, then I'm guessing. What? That did you like? I mean, try and. he keeps his drunk. He is drunk and he's abusive and and. Anyway, did you listen to Art Bell?

now.

now.

Back in the day.

Yeah, Coast to Yeah, coast to coast before. Well, how did you end up finding out about the Mojave phone booth then? Because that's kind of the where a lot of people found out about was Ardbelle Coast to Coast. Yeah, I'm I'm going spike very dramatically because a very popular podcast slash YouTube show. AJ!

Yeah, that number is going up for a few weeks. You know, week ago you couldn't hold it down here to talk to various seldom but after that show hit they had, you can't, that's people everywhere.

Yeah.

anybody.

Nice escape. Sorry. 760-733-9969 if you want to play at home. 760-733-9969. Fun, right? Should we go now?

But I would kind of like to do this like maybe every week and just see what we can do. so, yeah, so Jericho and Wilf, you should remember real Brad Staggs and Keith Malanac.

What's up?

Okay, I can't there's too much happening. All right. I hung up. hung up. All right. All right. Sure. Yes. Spell it for him, Brad. Okay. All right, Brad. Are you still here? Can you can you hang on? Thank you.

All right guys, good to see you.

Now I gotta come up here and unmute.

so that's what it was like that was that was that was like talking on this tv back in the day as we talked about last week it was like well you got a problem with me you

Incinerate! Get off the phone! Well, kinda Georgia, mean, like, with a pussy name like Georgia for a dude.

I tell you what, that was...

I just wanted to toss that one out there just to see how it would land.

I'm exhausted after that. feel like I need a shower.

Huh. Wait, put the number-

I've gotta make my, I've gotta, gotta, gotta make my, my, I'm in the middle of crafting these amazing wand boxes.

and

Why did you so hard on yourself?

wait why did it post twice mojave phone booth i should put an asterisks after that huh

You probably should.

Cause not really. It's a seven six zero. You telling me it's time for me to hang up? You son of a bitch. I know where you live.

I believe Wolf might have come through the phone just to I felt like he may have needed a little a little release there he needed to just yeah maybe just a shot or two

Keith Malinak (01:28:40.831)

okay so so i i i i said that i've interviewed you you go to the you to dot com slash acts at the mike show i think it is not even and there's a playlist of life stories and there's a two-part with brad episodes fifteen sixty i believe thank goodness i never interviewed jerry lewis because a year before he died

Why? Was there never a moment that you thought it might be time to retire? Why? You come from I'm not hearing anything, but then again, it could be that.

Wait, are you guys hearing?

Well that's frustrating. Did the audience hear anything? Because I don't care if you heard it. I mean, let's be honest.

I don't, that's why I didn't say anything.

Did anybody hear Jerry Lewis answering the question? Dear God, I hate everything.

Joe said Jerry Lewis was an asshole, so...

But did anybody hear Jerry Lewis just now when I played the clip? That's really all I care about in this moment. Then we can get into the minutia of his life.

I didn't hear anything. G. Corman, 555 said, Somebody see if they can get Georgia back on the phone. Because at least we can hear them. I mean, there was that.

That's annoying.

Okay. Well now I'm... Now I don't even want to... Now I'm pissed. Now I'm just like... Now I'm flustered and I'm thinking about things I want to set fire to, walls that I want to kick, faces I want to punch, and walls that I want to...

Have you ever thought about retiring?

I'm have to wolf to take you on.

they hear it I'm getting lies from left now

And like I said, it could have been a meat problem. That's why I say anything.

Know what? Fuck it, I'm playing it. Here we go.

Why? Have you ever thought about retiring? Why? Was there never a moment that you thought it might be time to retire or you would want Why? You come from a generation a little older and I think of Bob Hope, George Burns, Sinatra, you knew many of whom didn't want to or never retired either.

here we go. Did you ever think about?

Bye.

people.

Do you see similarities with them? None. None?

of similarities. Next question.

You've been.

I hope you all get here. I'm just gonna laugh over here and then you can just listen to me laugh.

Yep, what what made that partnership work for you? I'll show you some material. You'll know Are you also I think I read the yours you're also still writing some screenplays are doing work, right? Yeah. Yeah, is it is it easier now to write a screen? No, just as hard just as hard and how about you you take some time each day to write or how do you

This is Porn Reporter.

Frank Sinatra or somebody you work with, you know, over the years. My side. Share? No, not at all. None. How would you have an unfavorite story?

Good

you

Nope. Not for this. hear nothing. Just seeing no whiskers and jack-holes. I'm to of why I'm hearing it. No.

We're finished.

Alright, clean it out of here.

clean it out of here. you can talk now. So here's what you miss. Here's what you miss. Nope. Nope. Not that I'm going to tell you here. Nope. Nope. Nope. Boy, those are fun interviews, huh? So how about that information there?

listening to your reaction.

I'm going to refer back to Hobo Joe 61 who said, Jerry Lewis was an asshole.

and

So nobody is all any one thing. I mean he did do some good in his life, but all the stories or a great many of them Basically said the dude was a dick with eyes

Can I see s***?

What? Not the one eye. Okay, can I just say, I'm trying to figure out if I'm an alcoholic or just like the sugar. Yes. Because I was looking forward to all day on the wild card Wednesday of sitting here with this here vodka, remember, it was crafted in Texas. Yes. And I was like, can't wait to pour a glass of Grimace and fill it up with sour Skittles. Okay.

Not the one I did.

Yep. And I get home and I don't know who it is. I'm to find out. I'm going to break them. I'm going to this bottle. Who ate my sour mus- actually they weren't mine. They kind of like a- they were community Skittles. But they- how are they sitting there for four weeks after a birthday party and the one day that I'm thinking this is going to be an awesome treat. I'm going to make myself sour Skittle vodka. I get home.

You

quantum

I can't find the bag anywhere. They've been devoured. I'm pissed now.

I blame Jericho.

I'm Blaine, Georgia.

Is torture on your mind?

shit did I hang up? you gotta go? look at you

I've got to go because I can't if I can't hear anything that you do.

Let's see if it was just that one. Let's just see if the... Hang on. I don't know that there's anything else here. Let me see. Hang on. Let me just experiment here. Okay. Let me play something that it really doesn't matter. I love how you're like, nope, gotta go. Hang on. Shut up. Hang on. Can you hear this ambient noise here? Nope.

College.

you

Nope, not that way.

Well anyway, least you don't need audio here. This is like a feel-good video if you want one of those. Who the hell wants a feel-good video?

Meanwhile, this whole process is alive.

Wait a second, is that Jerry Lewis?

Is

You brought it home! You brought it home!

you're gonna leave? I want to ask one more question. Before you leave. away. I've got a question. I'm be like, wait, one more thing. One more thing. One more thing. So this guy, I don't know the whole story here and the audio here isn't too important, but this guy shows up and there's a guy in his driveway in a dress trying to break into his home. I don't know what he's high on.

Thank

Apparently there's no connection between this family and this guy, but here is my point. Look at this guy. Hold on. He's like, it hurts, but I can't play it because Brattle bitch that he can't hear it. But this moron here in a dress is like, you're hurting me because they're like handcuffing him and stuff. And anyway, if you roll up to your house and your daughter is inside, which was the case with this situation, do you kick this guy's ass?

you

then call the cops or do you call the cops on your way up the driveway to kick this guy's ass? Like what order do you do that in? Because you want to get this guy out of here, but you're going to kick his ass. I'm afraid if you call the cops first and they say, sir, don't do anything, police will be there shortly to engage. Then you're going to miss your chance to get him, give him what he's owed. What do you

You could just look at him and say, why are you gay?

I want to kick his ass though. You see what I'm saying? Like I don't want to that chance.

I'm gonna get Wolf on the line and we're gonna make that happen for you.

Is it Wolf or is it, I thought he said his name was Georgia. No, he's, he's in Georgia.

in Georgia. Although we could not reach Georgia for comment, so we don't know if that's true either. He could have just been a lion SOB. And we, you know what we should feel guilty about? Leaving Jericho all alone in there with him.

shit, that's right. But there's a chick. I heard a chick kind of jump in there at the last minute, right?

How dare you gender a human being without asking their permission? You've been assigned female.

Do you want me to release it? Like honestly, I'm on like 53 minutes of borrowed time from you. I thought you were gonna just wave goodbye at 45, 2.45 Central. And so, I mean, the longer you stay, the more I feel obligated to like, you know, give you something.

That's weird.

so now he's playing his outro music over there. So now I don't know what you're...

I to hang up because I don't even know where the hang up is.

How do I hang up? How do I? Because I still got stuff going on over here. He took me off of that. OK, yeah, there you go. He released himself from at the mic stuff. OK, my dog is too smart. Like, what did you hear to make you think? That it's time for us to go. What did I say? Like literally, Tanner is staring at me. He got up for the first time in two hours and he's like staring at me like I'm OK. Y'all still wait.

Wait a second!

I hope you're still with me. I'm Jeffy. Apologize. Looking out for my health. have some questions here. The titanium dioxide you're safe from the skill. Oh, Oh, the dyes and stuff. And the Skittles. Yeah. Cause the alcohol straight up is, is a totally healthy. You're you're right. That's a good point. All right. I have a few things I want to go over with y'all. Thanks for hanging out with the wild card Wednesday where you never know what's going to happen. We could end up calling strangers in Georgia or Kansas city.

Here I come. Okay, so.

You've heard of drunk dialing. Anybody ever a drunk shop? Maybe you go to Amazon and you buy something, something magically appears at your door. Or is it just me? And you're like, Oh yeah, I totally ordered that. Is that, that ever happened to anybody? Okay. So I guess I don't need these now. Well, I'll know if I play videos. I'm going have some videos. I don't know if somebody suggested this. I just, I just, I don't remember. Help me. I want to ask you. And this is a sincere question.

I apparently ordered from Amazon something called, and maybe one of you watching suggested this and I was like, oh yeah, it looks cool. I just do not remember. I vaguely remember. I know it wasn't just a random thing that arrived. I've had a couple of those things arrive. But, shungite, S-H-U-N-G-I-T-E.

shungite and it's supposed to like absorb, this seems like something that I would have had a kick on, right? Like EMF stuff or whatever, little pieces. It's almost like it's graphite, because it kind of leaves like a little bit of a black residue on your fingers, little rocks. And I thought they were thinner. It's kind of coming back to me. I think I was going to put this in my cell phone case. Yeah. OK, now I'm remembering here.

Yeah, we got to talk about my memory, not today, but I'm actually.

Not today.

But I want to know, Shungite? Does that ring a bell to anybody? Anybody use that? Did y'all send me that link? Did y'all post it under something? Somehow I ordered Shungite. And I think I was going to put it in my cell phone case. Stop some email. So anyway, anybody use Shungite and where do you put it? Like seriously, where do you? Thankfully, Brad's not here where he could talk to us about where he would put Shungite if he had the chance.

okay. So, let's see. I'm just catching up here. Okay. Hi, Mary. Hi, LEP. Hi, Wisconsin Jack hole. So I don't know what the shungite is.

Help me understand what it does exactly. Shungite sounds like something penicillin-recure. Okay. So I feel like I got chipped. I ordered two of these, one for me, one for the boy who's shipping out by the way, Air Force bound Ezra. I think that the recruiting has been so intense under Trump that they have had to space these ship out dates. They keep pushing them back. April now is when the boy heads out.

It was originally February. It just keeps moving back. And I just think we have a lot going on in the Trump. So I ordered these. They're called the C right here. It says E E K. This is right up as Rosale. It's called Escape and Evasion Kit. And so the the advertisement, this one, I kind of remember, it's just like, cool. Like, I want to be able to break stuff on the fly. I've to be careful. So razor blade here. That's

I'm sorry, this was in the stocking and I haven't had a chance to really pick through this until now. I need help to not cut myself inadvertently. All right, there's a little razor blade. Where's the instructions on this thing? I don't think there are. Yeah, there's nothing that came with this. that's helpful. So, and then there's this thing here. It's like a wire. How much did I pay for this? Please tell me no more than four bucks. So I got a wire.

So it's a kit, right? The kit consists of a little like a like a little box that you might put a ring in of cardboard. But like this is not a kit. This is a stupid as damn junky shit thing that I've ever bought. I don't know what this thing's supposed to do. What does this do? Pick a lock somewhere like a skeleton key is going to get me. What have I done? What have I done? OK, hang on. Then this is like a string.

This is the shittiest... What was it again?

escape innovation kit. This is the dumbest thing I have ever bought. Have you? What is the equivalent? Like what have you bought? I don't know if you can explain it here. Maybe you could call the Mojave number and I'll put you on the air that way. You know, I used to have a phone number. Remember that when we started doing this hangout, and I had like a phone number you could dial in. And you know, when you have a contact join app or something, it'll say so and so is joined whatever.

for science was awarded a three scientists that found naturally occurring antioxidants within shungite. See, I told you to sound like something I would buy. I'm pretty sure I was gonna put it in my phone case. We really have to talk about my memory soon. These new forms of the element carbon are known as fullerenes. They've been used in scientific breakthroughs ever since. Peter the Great, uh-oh, this is gonna be fun. I like history, here we go. Peter the Great, new of shungite's healing capabilities.

and set up the first Russian spa near the deposit to make use of its water purifying ability. See, five minutes ago, you guys are like, what the hell is this shungite stuff? I've been watching him. He hasn't been drinking that much. He didn't even know what he's talking about. Okay, now you're ordering shungite.

Peter even insisted that his soldiers carry a piece of shungite with them to purify their water on the go.

damn. Okay. There's a pure form of Shanghai called noble Shanghai or elite Shanghai. Extremely rare has a silverish tent on its surface. Wow. Energy. Okay. There's a lot going on here. my gosh. Al Gore, you in the house? Look at this y'all. Look at this. says, what's that word? Camera. I'll never pick it up.

Chakra, look at that, Chakra time. So you could release your chakra. The crown, the third eye, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral root. My roots pointed at a naughty place.

body.

Alright, well, if you have any suggestions of what I should do with my shungite, let me know. Let's just see. me play. Okay. Let me play a couple of videos here. Hang on. If you're interested, if not, we'll see you tomorrow. 22 hours from now. Steve friend joining me. Hang on a second. my gosh. Steve friend tomorrow has some interesting, interesting stuff we need to talk about with the FBI and

DOJ. See that? All right. This happened in Omaha. Hang on. Let me pause this. This is University of Omaha, Nebraska, Omaha. I don't know where this is exactly. It doesn't say. All right. Well, let's say North Omaha. I don't know. Oh yeah. There's a University of Omaha logo right there. All right. So here's the intersection, something and something. And then just watch these two cars. Maybe you already saw that there when I pressed play. These two vehicles right here. Oh, look at the, hold on. Hold the phone.

See, one of these sections has already been replaced. This area right here, you can see it's discolored. All right. So I'm going to guess that when this car pulls up, it gives way first and then this one comes. Let's see. Or do they fall at the same time? Let's see. Right here.

right here. no, they went the same time. Anyway. All right. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Okay. We are fine. Nevermind. That's rough. That's rough. Sing calls, man. Those are terrifying. I remember when I played youth golf growing up. I remember the, you're married to Georgia and you're familiar with the Indian Hills country club, there's a Cherokee golf course. There would be the ninth hole. Yes. The ninth hole between the T by the par three. was a T between the T box in the green.

There's just, it's not even a fairway. It's not even long enough for a fairway. But I would say that it was about a quarter of the way between the tee box and the green on this like a hundred yard par four. That was like 20 yards, 25 yards of just a sinkhole, just missing earth. And it was like that for the longest time. It was roped off. It was a hazard. It was part of the course. It was like that forever. You don't just pour some,

Shuffle some dirt into that hole, we'll be fine. wait, hold on a second. Now look at that. Graham Cougs loved the shungite. All right, so you use it. Where do you use it? Where do you use it? Yeah, see, Mary knows shungite protects against EMP. So where practically should I put these little pieces of shungite? Under my pillow, in my water, in my vodka, under my hat, in my socks? Like, where do I put this?

That's what I'm trying to figure out. are the best places for that? Arizona. You don't get a lot of sinkholes there, do you? Let's see here. Oh, look at that. Graham is giving a shout out to Lep, who does an awesome show. Oh, you want to say? So Lep, what is your, you're on Rumble. What's the name of your channel? Type that out there and let's make sure people know where to find your stuff as well. Let's see.

kind of played all of this. This is for Rebecca on Friday. OK. Oh, this is terrifying. Somebody explain this one to me. Someone explain this to me. There was who sent this to me. All right. Mandalorian Patriot sent me this. This was from what? Yesterday, a man uncovered a major security flaw.

after accidentally discovering he could control more than 7,000 robot vacuums and access their live camera feeds, all while trying to control his own vacuum using a PS5 controller. There's a lot there. I'm sure it's an interesting story. I'm just not gonna read it. But apparently your robot vacuum camera may be serving as someone's window into your world.

Okay, one of the things I wanted to do and then I'll leave you alone for the day and we'll see you again 22 hours from now when Steve Friend joins me for some interesting information that

interesting information about some things. Let me check here. There we go. Hang on. Oops. Sorry. A camera on a vacuum. Yeah. Cause it's got to get around the house. Julie. It's got to know where your couches are and stuff. There's lap show. Ain't you a peach on rumble? lap. I'm so glad you're doing a show on this. This is a deep dive show. I've always wanted to do the battle of Los Angeles. I don't want to say any more other than this is going to be a great show with lap. Ain't you a peach, the battle of LA.

that is a fascinating story. Okay. So one of the things I wanted to do, and I took so many books off of the shelves around my house now are these gaping holes in the bookshelves because I was going to do like a Keith's book club. And I thought, that's a lot of books. Maybe it's not just one wild card Wednesday. Maybe it's going to be a two parter, you know? And then

There's other stuff I want to talk about because remember this, Wednesday show isn't a deep dive and it's not the Friday live fun stuff. Like I got the shungite on my finger still. That's not like a personal problem, but there's other things other than just, there's not enough hours in a day y'all. So I wanted to just go through because many times, believe it or not, people have asked me, they say, what's your favorite word? What's your favorite this, what's your favorite that? No.

They've asked me what are some good books. And I sit there and I try to remember some names and stuff. Instead, what I did is I just took them from around the house. And I guess I'll do a few at a time. How about this? It might take a month of Wednesdays.

Like you see the context of this stuff that we debate today and you see what they were talking about, like on the floor of the House, of the Senate, and it puts into context some of the laws that we have today. And I mean, it is nerd central and I'm sorry, there's not going to be a damn audio book on this, although I would absolutely read this thing.

Well, we'll get to it. And when we do get to it, I'll say, Hey, remember that 1895 book that I had for you? Here's a more modern. I don't see it. I hope my ass isn't on the screen.

Hang on. And let's see. I will say, as I'm reaching back here, I'm finding all sorts of good stuff. Here we go. We've done a couple of episodes on the Thursday deep dive off of this book, Witness to Roswell. There's a couple of authors here. we had Donald Schmidt on who runs the the UFO museum out in Roswell, New Mexico.

If you are like me.

and you're on the fence on UFOs and aliens and all that stuff, take the time. There's an audio book of this. There's a constantly updated version of this, Witness to Roswell. And if you're anything like me, by the time you're done on that adventure, you will be on the fence no longer. What a coverup that ensued following the UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico.

I've talked about the at the mic show life stories playlist that you can find at youtube.com slash at at the mic and everything is linked through ATM show comm where Wes has been hard at work. I'm just I'm a brutal, brutal. I demand so much of Wes. No, he he is so creative and hero Wes been so much time perfecting

the new website and making sure the thumbnails look good. I'm trying to find here. Here we go. So mean, there you go. There's the, there's that section. Let's go to the homepage. I mean, look at this. It's so much fun. Let's get wild. Look at that. Started deep dive scene, click on this. So mean, there's the Wednesday wild card. There's a Thursday deep dives. I mean, look at this stuff. I mean, there's the recent shows and you just look at this stuff, man. mean, just great. Great, great, great. Oh yeah. There's that EMF.

.

San Francisco 49ers show, started Happy Hour. I mean, you got all these, just the artwork. I mean, he's so good at this stuff. So Wes has been working hard and I'm gonna have him take us on a little tour on the Friday live stream before we get things started on Friday. But one of the life stories things that I did that I would encourage you to go to youtube.com slash at the Mike show. Maybe that's right. Is the life story of Vern Lindquist.

That is a book. This I took on one of my cross-country trips. And I put this thing in. that was back when I had a CD player in my car. So anyway, Vern Lundquist's book, play-by-play, calling the wildest games and sports from SEC football to college basketball, the Masters and more. That man is a treasure. And again, he was one of the most accommodating individuals for the At the Mic show.

Because I've told you this, if you missed it, a storm hit his house while we were talking, disconnected us. And the next day he made a point to, I'll come back and we'll do it tomorrow. And it turned out to be a very long interview instead of just one day, it was spread over two. And it was so accommodating. Now, this next book is over my head. I feel like I'm supposed to love this book and to, it's one of those books that I started reading.

And then I was like, you know what, maybe it's an audio book and it was, and it still didn't help me. Help me understand. I supposed to like the alchemist, huh? By, Coelho Niner. What's his name? Alchemist seems just over my head. Like I wanted to get it and it just, it felt like, it felt like I was, at a fancy restaurant and like the menu.

was kind of in a language that I understood, but like a dialect that I did. I don't know, man. Anybody else a big Alchemist fan? Hang on. I wanted to tell you one more book. You know what? Let me just, I don't have it right here. Two books before we go. Two books that, fiction books. You know what? Hold on. No. Three of my favorite books of all time. And I don't do fiction, he says after holding it.

Three fiction books are quite possibly my three favorite books of all time. Ironically enough, Mr. I don't do fiction. Okay, Atlas Shrugged, please take the time, read it. Go find it in our audio book or whatever, but you must, must, read Atlas Shrugged and just see the forward thinking that Ayn Rand had. Holy crap. Here we are. Ayn Rand.

Atlas Shrugged. Okay, so that's that one. The other fiction book, the only book that I've read twice to kill a mockingbird once I had to read in like middle school, and then later as an adult, I just love to kill a mockingbird. So go in and check in fact, Robert Duvall was Boo Radley. I think that was his first role. I'll check that out. Huh? Yeah. So go watch the movie. You're not gonna read the book.

But there you go, To Kill a Mockingbird. And then the third book, fiction book that I absolutely love is Captains and the Kings by Taylor Caldwell. Go check that out, huh? That's not the Kennedy dynasty written in fiction. So those three books, I would recommend if you have to read fiction, To Kill a Mockingbird, Atlas Shrugged.

To Kill a Mockingbird, Atlas Shrugged, and Captains and the Kings are must reads. Okay. How's that? What did I find here? Let's see here. Did I miss anything? Yeah, y'all. I'm sorry. I wish that y'all could see what we saw when it comes to comments. It is so scattered and inconsistent. so like Lep, when you were talking about audio earlier, I have no doubt you were shouting about the audio.

but yet not every comment shows up. It's so weird and I don't understand it. And that's why I have multiple windows open so I can go and I can go and see this and make sure that there's nothing there. And then what might appear down here doesn't appear over here or it's in a completely weird order. I don't know y'all. All right. So it's gonna take me a while to get through. I've gone through what?

seven books maybe today. And I'm looking at another 30 probably sitting over here. So we got a ways to go. And we'll mix those in. And I've said, I don't know what you can expect on the Thursday or the Wednesday wild card show, which is what this is. Because obviously we had no idea we were going to meet Jericho and the wolf. And we didn't know wolf was going to challenge Brad to a fight on the air live. No. So

You never know what, what, this is going to end up with. And so like guests that I have booked for Wednesday, I just don't know. You guys are going to have a big say in forming the direction of the Wednesday wild card show. Understand you're, you're watching now you're in on the ground floor. Just consider, pretend you're a stockholder for the Wednesday wild card show and you get a vote. You get a say in the direction we go here because this is going to be just, this is about think drinks with Keith.

dot dot dot and Brad, honestly. So Brad does his WTF, which I didn't know that's what that F stood for. So he does that every Wednesday at 3 p.m. Eastern, daily mojo dot com. I'll hang out with him and then I'll bug you for the rest of the time doing whatever the hell I have in front of me here. In fact, there's some things here. The highlighter. Hang on. Let me just hang on. I got to make a note before I forget. And I don't do this right now. I will forget.

I got to talk to Rebecca on Friday about that. And what was the other thing? I can't read my handwriting. my gosh.

Yep. Don't worry. When I do that, you're going to eventually get that what I reacted to. It just may not be today. the is this isn't. Yeah. Okay. There's a couple of things. Yeah. I got to save those. I'm going to put this in the, and this is the thing when I, I've told you how I show prep for Peg Ray unleashed. I will send my stuff. I will send myself emails with the subject line. M O N T U E W E D.

THU, FRI. And that way when I sit down to do show prep, which I'm going to go and begin the process for tomorrow's show, I will look for all the emails that I've sent myself in the last 24 hours or what have you with the subject line THU. That's for Thursday's prep email that I will compile for the staff and for Pac-Grey Unleashed. Well, what I do for at the mic stuff, as I'm constantly sending myself emails with the date of the show. So,

For Friday's live stream, I've got a bunch of emails with the subject line 2 slash 27, right? For the Thursday deep dive conversation, 2 slash 26. And then I'll sit down and I'll put them all in one place. And then I open up tabs from hell that stretch from here across the entire screen, right? And now I have the Wednesday thing. And so now I'm finding myself constantly having to look at calendars. We're like, okay, wait, Wednesday is the 25th? And the Thursday, 27th, how 27th?

I'm constantly looking at calendars now and it is, my brain is, it's full. The recycle bin needs to be emptied. All right, I'm going to hang up now. I love y'all. I appreciate you. Thanks for hanging out with me and we'll see you 22 hours from now for the Thursday deep dive. Steve Friend going to be here with a whole bunch of interesting stuff. You will want to tune in for that. And of course on Friday, if you, hey, give Kelly for freedom on X, give her a hard time. Okay.

because she's not going to be here yet again on Friday, right? Boo, boo-hiss, am I right? But it looks like it'll be Brad, Rebecca and myself on the Friday live stream. All right, kids, enjoy your next 22 hours. I will see you on my day job at 7 a.m. Eastern tomorrow on Blaze TV with Pat Gray Unleashed. And until then, I hope you stay safe. Have a good evening. And don't forget to DM me, put food up in the toy room. And remember at some point to put food up here. Bye.

So, thank you.
