Curling might look like a quiet Olympic sport, but it reveals a lot about how people are navigating modern life.

In this episode of At the Mic Friday Happy Hour, Keith Malinak and Rebecca use Olympic curling as an unexpected lens to explore parenting tradeoffs, rising costs, and why everyday decisions feel heavier than they used to. From national pride and cultural pressure to family boundaries and financial stress, the conversation connects humor, personal stories, and social observation to the realities shaping how people live right now.

It’s a grounded, wide ranging discussion about community, responsibility, and what shared moments like the Olympics expose beneath the surface.

Hello, hello, welcome to the Friday live stream. I am so glad, you're so glad, you just don't realize it. That you can't hear me sing along to the music while we're getting started. Because it's, well, it's awkward for me. If it's awkward for me, you can only imagine how bad it would be if I subjected you to that. My gosh, this new light I got. I told you last week, I ordered a light during the show.

And it is much brighter than I anticipated. I'm gonna hide behind this other monitor for most of the show today. Happy weekend. We made it. We made it. Brad running a little bit late today. He's got some Mojo operations to attend to, but he will join us here momentarily. TheDailyMojo.com for Brad Staggs. And Rebecca the Viking will be here momentarily as well.

She's chaperoning a school field trip. I don't know if you saw that on X, but that's fun. But before we go any further here, I do want to show you this, and we're going to go over this in much more detail next week. I'm going to have Wes join us and tell us some of the exciting stuff. He has been hard at work.

And he's been dealing with my changes and all this stuff that I'm like, hey, I want this. I want that. Whatever. Look at that. This is at themikeshow.com, which is atmshow.com as well, if that's easier for you. Atmshow.com. I mean, starting Wednesday, we've got the discovery. Yeah, that's the wild card thing, right? And you click on this stuff. There's a deep dive. See that? Look at that. Look, there's yesterday's great conversation with Justin Haskins on how

monetary system has been FUBARed for the last 50 years at least. And who's responsible? it's the same entity that's responsible for everything. Everything bad that happens in the world. In the world! It's all connected to the CIA. So you'll want to check out that conversation. It's available.

demand there over at ATM show.com slash deep dives. And then of course, the great conversation about the Boston, Alaska flood. Look at this man. He's got this thing laid out here at public schools, all sorts of great stuff. So Wes has been hard at work. There's the the Friday happy hour shows that we've done. So it's a it's a great resource. I hope you'll bookmark it. Visit it often at show.com. And let me I get so many tabs, so many tabs. Okay. I think that's

the one person project. The thing that I brought up yesterday on the Thursday deep dive one person project to share the show with one person. That's all I ask. know, if it's somebody you hate, you know, ruin their day, just send them the link, send them a link to their show or any show associated with that the mic and maybe it's your favorite one made you laugh the most made you think the deepest send that to them. Okay. Let me get let me get the Viking in here. Hello. How are you there, Rebecca? How's it going?

Hello, I'm doing good. I'm actually trying to stream this to my ex account.

you know, OK, I'm glad you brought this up because X has done something that when I go live now, instead of being able to see like the video playing, it's just a link now and it's stupid. And in fact, I'm sorry, let me back up. It's actually not even a link. The maybe it's just me. The profile pic will give a little pink circle. Right. But that's it. It doesn't show up in the feed unless I tweet out the link.

And then when I tweet out the link, it's not even the video. Is it just me? It's usually just me. But are you telling me that maybe it's something a little bit more involved there? I don't know. Did they change something? I don't know. Here, can. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to message you. That's the other thing. It always crashes. Twitter always crashes now.

actually.

It says that I can stream it, so...

Here, I'm going to just message you a link to that tweet. So if you want to just retweet that, I see you haven't seen my recent messages. The last thing I just sent you was, we live at Ira's mercy. Quite frankly, she's in charge of the show. He's the executive producer. Sweet little baby Viking. There, just messaged you. But you're sleeping right now, right?

A little Viking.

Thank you. Thank you. I was noticing the crawler. swear man. That's the one thing I can never remember to take the crawler off there. Yeah, Rebecca hurt. Nothing I said.

No, didn't. I'm seriously, I'm really trying to figure this out and it's really annoying.

So I messaged you the link if you just want to retweet that. You just have to click on it.

well, I wanted to stream to my account.

was that? OK, that's over my head.

That's what I'm trying to get it to do here.

My gosh, this light is freaking. I gotta move this computer just to like block the sun. my word. There.

And then it's my password, but what the fuck is my password?

that I can't help you with. All right, let me catch up on some of these. lunchtime. Toby over in the Pacific time zone. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How's the busted week? Jonathan asking. It's very tender. It's been a pretty shitty day for the old elbow. But at time, I'm not worried about it because I went down this road with the other elbow. It's the same doctor. See, I got what you may not realize. And I was actually, I was texting back and forth with a fine gentleman.

who we were so old now that we were just going over all of our surgeries. And I told him, okay, so I've had two broken arms, a broken leg. You guys have been here for the torn hip labrum that I tore kicking field goals over at the Blaze. I've had a shoulder reconstruction surgery. Then I trusted that doctor to the right elbow. He screwed that up. So I to the second doctor. He did great. And I went back to him for the second elbow. It's a

I've gotten the most out of my body weekend warrior. mean nothing nothing to show for it other than pain, but You know it's been a lot of fun. It's been it's been a good ride for this body, but now I'm old and here we are How you doing? You're doing all right over there. Did you find out?

I my freaking password. have like, you know, blood from a virgin, a moonstone and all that shit in my passwords and

Hold on, we have to revisit this.

So you use, because now it's generally speaking, it's a capital letter, okay? It's a number, it's a character, and it's a certain number of characters, know, numbers, et cetera, letters. So I won't tell you what to make your password, but make it something you can remember, or else what had happened was you end up having a situation like this.

Yeah, but the thing is like, mean, Google Chrome, so it doesn't remember my passwords, right? So usually it remembers my passwords. I probably shouldn't say that.

OK, well, think your project for tonight after the live stream is going to be to change your password on all platforms, something that you can remember. hold on. Before we go any further, if you want to keep messing around with that, new here on StreamYard, they have this little section called Overlay, you see? And it like puts up like and subscribe. Look at that, huh? Is that fancy or what? Hold on, I got another one here. Welcome. That's professional. Look at this one. Q &A.

Doesn't that, that's good. Hold on. Let me see what else we got.

my god, I'm arguing with the cat trying to get on my lap right now and you always complain that my pussy is too loud so I'm trying to avoid it.

So how's the cat doing? Because someone theorized that the thumbnail that Wes made today, which is absolutely incredible, it features the baby Viking. And I think the question was, hold on a second, I got too much stuff here. I got to get this breaking news thing over here. wait, there's more? What else is on here? BRB. I'm not going to do a BRB right back. That's kind of funny. Has he ever had a bathroom break? All right, so anyway, here's the thumbnail.

Is the hammer, is that, does the baby Viking have the little Thor's hammer down here? Is that for the cat?

How are they do- What's the relationship like between the two?

Wait, is that Norwegian there? Okay. That's good. Look at this. Look at this. I'm in a sling there. That's helpful. It says I elbow surgery.

to a region.

Why is that? that's what we were talking about.

And then the video, it shows the two of you guys. It's like I fell off the cliff or y'all shoved me off or something. So I don't know what that's all about. OK, let's see here. Do you have a let me let me do this here. One of the things I like to do for my friends is first let me show you my QR code if you want to show any love and support there. But here's Brad's QR code if you want to show him some.

And so it's just for me to be able to bill and to put all my, to put all my like subscription stuff and things through there. Like I don't want to mess with my like private economy and things that get like, yeah.

Tyler Morgan says, yes, there are QR code generator. I buy me a coffee link in. OK, cool. So there you go. go to maybe use. OK, so would you say go to QR code generator and then put in that link, Tyler? Is that how that works? OK, let's see. really? interesting. Gabby says that Brad's QR code goes to buy me a coffee, she thinks. Do me a favor, Rebecca. I'm releasing you to check your email. I want you to click on the email that I just sent you.

You sent it to my secret email account.

Right. email account. And then what I want you to do is I want you to click on that and see if that shows Norks Unlimited in your cart. If anybody tries to buy this, I will be angry for you. Thank you, Tyler.

It is fun. How do I just find a website though? Like I don't have that.

Wes can help you out. I'm volunteering Wes for you. Sorry. This is the awkward part of the program where my drink is behind my left shoulder, but I, my, left elbow can't hold it. So I have to turn this way, reach this way with this. It's a big Mason jar. Cut me some slack. okay. So did you see the

Somebody has donated to buy me a coffee lately as of late. I say thank you very much. I always reply to everyone, but I have a backlog now. So I'm sorry about that. I will get to it.

Hang on, I'm looking up your handle here. R Mr. Reagan. And so it's pretty simple. It's a pretty simple address here. Hang on. Let me, let me go back here. I want to show you this.

he's bringing this up because he wants me to fly to Dallas and I told him I don't have any money to Dallas right now and

I'm going to help you with that in just a second. I'm going to help you raise money to fly to, I don't know. think you said you had to go to Nashville, but you're going to connect in Dallas because it's, so on the way, Norway, Dallas, Nashville, but look at it, everybody.

Normally after them, was not

Tom slash our Mr. Reagan. Okay. So I want you to keep that in mind. If you don't want to donate yet in a second, you're going to want to donate. because I have this story. This is, is this not the weirdest damn story ever? because you are actually a mom. Okay. Yes. And, and, I'm kind of, not kind of, I'm very pissed off for anybody that supported this chick who is a wannabe mom. and, and so

This lady, her name is Kyra Cousins. She's a 22 year old from Scotland. And so here's how it goes. She shocked her community after allegedly faking a pregnancy and pretending to give birth to a plastic doll named Bonnie Lee Joyce. Okay, if you're gonna have a fake kid, can we do better than Bonnie Lee Joyce? It continues, according to the report, she used a-

That's like South Carolina, not Scotland.

That's a good point. She had a prosthetic baby bump, shared fake scan images, and staged the experience with supposed hospital visits and a gender reveal party. Friends and relatives believed it was real and bought her gifts. The deception reportedly came to light when her mother found the doll in Kyra's bedroom and told the family. Cousins later addressed it on social media, saying she didn't know how to stop it once it began. A friend also claimed people grew suspicious because no one had ever heard the baby cry.

and because cousins avoided letting anyone touch or see the child saying the baby was unwell. We've seen your we've heard your your child we've seen her.

I'm surprised we haven't heard her yet, like.

Don't jinx it.

It's been a week, Keith. Actually, it's been two weeks. No, she's not. She's constipated. I'm just going to lay it out there. It's a hard time because she's struggling with her tummy and like, I'm trying to, you know, it's like in the process of everything dissolving and all of that. So she's better, but she's been under eating for a week and a half and then having trouble going to like going poo poo.

Wait, since she's cried?

on, hold on, hold on. So, so wait a minute. Her stomach is so ill, she's not eating enough and she's constipated? Yeah.

So it's better now it's better. Yeah, she started to like empty out but it's it makes her she's in pain, right? So it makes her uneasy. So it's been like, I can't leave her anywhere. So the fact that I'm sitting here right now bed actually relaxing is fantastic. But she slept seven and a half hours last night.

Honestly, I would take someone's life in exchange for seven and a half hours. Oh, I told you we jinxed it! We jinxed it! Oh, the b- Yeah, no, that's cool. But there's the there's the foe baby right there. I just- So raise money for Rebecca so she can come to America and find that dreamboat cowboy that she's always wanted. He awaits her.

We'll be right back.

here in Dallas, Texas, Metroplex. Well, way out, way out on the edges. It's not in town, that's for sure. But man, that is creepy. I don't understand. do people, I just, there's so much weird stuff. And that's a good point, Tyler. Who among us hasn't faked a pregnancy? Let's see. Yeah, absolutely. I want the people associated with that, Mike show to be duly compensated since I sure as hell can't do that.

just scrolling through here checking out your comments. I appreciate everybody, participating in the chat and you know, if you ever have questions by the way, and crawfish had a lot of questions and a lot of stuff to say yesterday's live stream. whenever we do the deep dives by all means, put those questions over there. I'll do my best to get them addressed. I'm just scrolling through here. Brad will be here just a second. the, the, Bradley stags fan club has, has chimed in and there's Kara.

let's see. Is that dip? just, ask her to address that later. It's not quite, it's not dip. and we've talked about it before, but I'm to let her cause I'll screw it up. let's see. I can pick up it. All right. Look at that. See, I got Jonathan is offering a ride for Rebecca, or Becca. I'm sorry. I don't want to, can I get this creepy fake baby off the damn screen? There we go. Now it's just,

All right, so she's not asleep, but let's try I'm gonna try to like let her calm down

Yeah, you know, I just I just that moment when you were sitting down did something that I've never done and it almost happened. I was closing all these tabs and and and and I went and I closed I tried to close the tab that we're on right now. But thankfully it said, dumbass, are you sure you want to close that tab? no, no, no, no, no, you're right. My bad. Hey, Jonathan's going to pick you up in Nashville. So there you go. You get that all.

Mmm.

You got a baby car seat?

Jonathan would probably buy one for you. Let's see. okay. You see the story about the beauty influencer.

Wait, wait, let's circle back to the like fake baby thing. Because although it's utterly insane, at least she didn't murder a pregnant woman to steal her baby.

Fake baby, okay?

Yeah. There's a lot of that going around.

Okay, yeah. I mean, if we're on scale of, of, weird, that's definitely,

There is stories.

As a true crime junkie that I am, saw a story of a woman faking her pregnancy, befriending this pregnant lady, cutting her open, stealing

Alright, alright, dear God, woman.

Can you imagine?

How you, I'm talking to you, and any female that listens to true crime, any mother of a young child that listens to stories like that, Rebecca, how do you sleep after listening to that?

I sleep, actually I put on a true crime podcast to go to sleep.

Okay, look the only time that I can fall asleep with noise happening I'll put baseball games in my earbuds But if it's a good game that requires my attention then I can't fall asleep Okay, I'll listen to the radio broadcast or the TV whatever mood I'm in for but If the game is a blowout or whatever then I can fall asleep is nine to two in

A lot of girls fall asleep listening to true crime podcasts. I don't know. It's something about it can also be a TV show. Like I will go to sleep like that. The thing is, it's something about the morbid stories being kind of balanced out by really comfortable voices.

OK. You're weird. the record.

You know, I don't mean that the morbid gets me to sleep. saying it's because they're so morbid. They often they have like, right, comfortable voices. They tell the stories in a in like a very respectful way. And it's just like

Okay but is it the somber voice talking about this crazy whacked out death scenario or is it just the voice? In other words, if someone on a podcast

Well, it is also the stories. mean, Stories.

So this doesn't do it for hold on a second. Let's try this. I want to try this on theory here. Hang on. Prevail distillery. What sets triad apart? It's a four grain bourbon finished with French oak staves. That's right. We've gone all the way. Does that do it?

No. Has to be something that I'm interested in listening to.

It is

How about this? about this? Then he bludgeoned her over and over again. Blood rained down all over the mattress and onto the floor. The cat walked through and tracked bloody paws.

We'll do it.

See, knows Keith Morrison's voice will kill me to sleep.

Is this you, sir? You were trying to sleep with an eight-year-old girl. Isn't you? Isn't that Keith Morrison? Is that the one who does the NBC? To catch a predator. All right, I want to show you this picture. This right here is a beauty influencer. And so she had a filter constantly on whenever she would do or whatever the hell she did. And so this was the face of her filter. Well, it slipped off for a few seconds the other day.

And this is what she really looks like. She lost 140,000 followers almost instantly after that malfunction, that filter malfunction during a live stream. I'm sorry, but I have no problem saying 100 times out of 100, this picture much more attractive than this picture. In fact, this picture right here has appeared in my DMs as a bot profile pic 1,000 times.

What, why is this chick using a filter to begin with? That's, that's step one.

Beauty standards, think, but it's like losing 140 followers is like

This is just a dead face.

Yeah, it is. No, I don't disagree with you. I'm just saying that the reason she lost all those followers is that she's been lying. You know, people don't like to be lied to. But you see this. This is like a huge thing right now, I think, in the beauty space where all of these beauty influencers, they try to sell you shit all day.

Yeah, OK. So I wonder how many products maybe she sold. That makes sense.

Yeah, a lot of these people are under scrutiny right now and people are unfollowing also because they're not in touch with reality. Like we have what's her name? Michaela something. In the middle of like hard economy for most people, she goes out and does a hot like Louis Vuitton hall. Like how fucking tone deaf are you?

I'm sorry, wait, I don't know, I don't even know what you said.

Like when you buy 10 handbags, yeah, and you go, oh my God, you want to see what I shop today? Like, look at me. This is what I shop and people are over there struggling paying their fricking bills. They're not going to like you. It's yeah. Yeah.

Louis Vuitton, Yeah.

gotcha. I gotcha. You don't want to be like, it's like we get lied to enough by our government, right? get our fill in the lie department. Okay. So check your check your buy me a coffee. We're going to do. Here's what we're to do. We're to do like a Jerry Jerry's kids thing. We're going to we're going to spin the wheel or whatever and try to get the tote board up to how much you need for your plane ticket to to Nashville.

Yeah, all day, every day.

I'm flying Keith, you know I had a fun exercise yesterday. You want to hear about it?

I know. don't know. I do it kids? Do we want to hear?

business tickets to Dallas. No, no, no, listen. And then I found out there's such a thing as first class actually going to Dallas. And it was 150,000 Norwegians. That's like, I don't know 16,000 US dollars. It's freaking insane.

TRIPLE PULL AND STOP!

Okay, so how much is coach?

Okay. so if we, if we, you think you could get over here, uh, for, for $1,200, that'd get you to Nashville, but you gotta, gotta connect in Dallas so that you and Brad and Rebecca and I can go out for lunch and then send you.

I am not just connected. If I'm coming, I'm staying for a few days. I'm not.

Alright, so she needs $1,200 kids. Alright, so let's raise $1,200 buy me a coffee comm slash our Mr. Reagan it's spelled out, right? I Would be the worst weatherman I've been oh my gosh, I actually had fun I've talked about this the University of Nebraska when I had to do They put you on the on the news. I had a lot of fun doing the weather, you know

weather is good. We had a lot of fun doing the weather as well. Dan and I and a few other co-workers, you know Dan, we did it in a

That's Norwegian Dan, for those of you who know me from my day job, Pat Gray Unleashed. In fact, that's how we met. You and I? But I want you to tell you, so you've done weather then.

Mm-hmm.

Well, just for fun, we did all climate policies into weather.

Okay, that sounds good. Like you talk about climate change and whatnot and. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm just trying to think of all of my broadcasting, my TV. I did the news anchor, sports guy, weather. What was the other one there? It seems like there's another one. I don't know. You had to run the camera one week. But anyway, I do hope that those tapes have been burned.

I hope not. my god, let's find them.

No, I had a bad haircut at the time.

Let's make a drinking show out of it.

I remember, I remember the wait line was a little too weighted. It was like surfer, you know. I tell you what, if you go and look at the Ocean Blue, it's a band that I love, go look at their haircuts from the early 90s. And that's what was going on for old Keith, as far as I can remember. The Ocean Blue, go look up the Ocean Blue 1993. in fact, I guess that's I'll do. on, me, on. The Ocean

The rhythm

Did you have the butt haircut or did you have like...

crap, hang on. I accidentally just clicked on Ocean Blue gear and now I want some of this. In fact, my gosh, I missed the 90s so bad. Let me show you. Look what I just stumbled on. Look at that, huh? Little onesie. Little Ocean Blue onesie. But that's their big hit. That album had the song Sublime on it. Not the Sublime band, but...

Maybe I'll make it the show prep music here next week on the live stream. But anyway, I'm trying to find, I'll never find their haircuts is what I'm looking for.

I'm going to excuse myself for one minute. I'm going to go see if she's actually falling asleep. there she is.

Gosh. Yeah, yeah. There she is. She wants to be on the show. She loves being on the show. these are all modern pictures. Okay, sorry. I'll stop sharing that tab because nobody cares about the Ocean Blue but me. And that's tragic. It's a good band. In fact, band, the album cover with the chick taking the picture, that is an excellent album from start to finish. So go and check out the Ocean Blue with the album, See the Ocean Blue.

Now back to you. Okay. We were talking about the cost of things. How much I got to find out how much money Rebecca's raised. We got to get her to America. I think that's in April. She needs to be in Nashville. But this did you guys get I want to know. I'm always fascinated by algorithms. And I don't know if the algorithm thinks I'm just a cheap bastard, which is accurate. But this HB thing came up twice in my feed.

The poor thing wants mama in bed at this time. Down the hall, yabbing from across the planet here. I'm sorry. All right, well, there she is. What a sweetheart. Are we going to get a big belch today? Because we live for those here on At the Mic, little Ira belches.

Yeah, that's what she wants.

A little what?

Little baby belches. Little viking belches.

What is a bulges?

a belch like when she burps.

probably not. She ate like earlier so but she'll eat again.

probably. Okay, well for the good of the program, let's start timing our feedings for the show so that we can hear the big belch because that was very impressive last week. that was honestly one of the highlights ever on this program was the baby burp. Okay, so I want you to see this fun. This is tragic actually. This isn't nostalgic. This is sad. We had a boneless round steak for a buck seventy-seven a pound. This is 1990 Texas grocery store.

Pretty impressive.

Look at your Coke 2 liters. Oh, I was talking over. I didn't hear it.

KV-1

I should go back and hear it.

Hold on, let me see. Oh, maybe I'll catch it. Hang on. I got it. Yeah, I got it. I got it. I got it. Yeah, I heard that. Good stuff. Let's see. I don't know, ladies, since you do all the grocery shopping, it's 69 cents for a big head of broccoli. Is that good? A 59 cents a five pound bag. 59 cents for a five pound bag. Like, I'm going to say that 300 times before I unstick myself.

59 cents for a five pound bag of russet potatoes back in 19 net. Look at this. This was an actual half gallon for a buck 99 for ice cream. Let's see. How do I, how do I go over a page? This is, we go. There's more. Hey, look at this more. Look at this, huh? We got six pairs for a buck. Come on. That's what the portrait one I said.

Look at that, ground beef is 197 a pound. 197 a pound. Chicken was 109 a pound. I mean, this is depressing AF.

I feel like peak humanity was in the 90s.

Yeah, it was. Well, you know, the greatest music actually that album beneath the rhythm and sound. See, when did the other one come out? Let's see. I don't even remember. Anyway, 91 to 95 was your best music window. Those five years were the best music window, just for what that's worth. Hold on. What do we got going on over here? We got a ham for $3.98. Look at that. You can get eight pieces of chicken for under four bucks.

Holy crap. remember, look, I remember when my grandfather, Papa, Nana's husband would give me five bucks to go and get a whatever meal out at McDonald's.

Good times. Now five bucks will get you maybe what a couple of cheeseburgers at the most maybe.

Can you get anything for five? I don't think we can get anything for five bucks over here.

Same as downtown, am I right, y'all? Sorry. Let's see. I'm just looking. What else we got? Anything else standing out here? look at the VHS tape. See, that was starting to become a.

My mom actually has taken care of like all that stuff. She still has her VHS tapes and the video player and like old cassettes and cassette players and all of that. She still has everything.

See, I do too, but I don't get occasion to use it. Is your mom a pack rat or is that just my problem?

Kinda I mean, but I think it's fun because like when my brother's kids were smaller They would come and watch videos at grandma's, you know, so I'm looking forward to her doing that as well It's kind of nostalgic because it was our videotapes, right?

Yeah. See, I've got a lot of, yeah, I'm a loser, but everyone knows that. Atlanta Falcons, great moments, because there's so many of them on videotape, VHS tape, but I've already missed that window of getting them dubbed over to DVD. Now I don't know what to do. Now they're just in a box and they're just going to disintegrate and never be watched again. don't know. Let's see here. How's the economy in Norway? Just out of curiosity.

That's too-

So we haven't had any, like they have not put down the interests at all. I think they did once the interest rate. It's just gone up, up, up, up. You know, and they're selling a lot of Norwegian Kroners, which is making our currency really bad. So.

So they're doing this on purpose. Inflation is really bad. Like I saw, was it yesterday or the day before Trump's policies has put down inflation in the United States? I don't remember how much.

Well, one of the things we talked about, and by the way, I paid under a dollar a gallon too. And I've said this so many times, February 1999 at the racetrack, Austell, Georgia, paid 59 cents a gallon. I'll never forget it. what was the question? so yesterday on the program when we did the deep dive with Justin Haskins, we were all about the economy and how we got to this point.

And one of the things that came up was that there's actually been deflation in the south central part of the US over the last year. So that's pretty interesting. But the majority of the country is still showing signs of inflation, but much lower rate than what we were experiencing a few years ago. But I don't know, man. some rough signals out there. This story pisses me off. I just want to the headline. I won't get into the minutiae of it here. But I don't know what I'd be beside myself.

Seven trucking companies file bankruptcy on the same day as hundreds of truck drivers lose their pensions, 401Ks, and life savings. I don't know how that works. How do you lose your 401K if it's tied to a...

Sorry, I'm sorry. my gosh, she was falling asleep on me and then I spoke.

so you've got to sit there and just be silent.

No, but yeah, I saw actually there's a lot of pensioners coming together suing the Norwegian state because they have been stealing money from the pensioners. They do so like a reform every so and so year. And then this particular age group, if they work or I don't remember the case specifically, but then they retract money from their pension. This is money that they have been saving.

their entire lives and then they're getting robbed if they're trying to do something extra. So they've been stealing millions from them.

I'm encouraging those of you who did not join us for yesterday's deep dive with Justin Haskins on the coming, what's the next big crash? How we got here, where we're at now, and what's next? Holy crap, it's enraging. It's enraging because you already own nothing, but you will be happy. That's what I hear. Okay, this story is wild. I don't understand this, but this lady...

offered to take a flight and get bumped for three hours by Delta. And so they gave her $1,800. $1,800 to leave three hours later. Can I just say what's missing from the story doesn't say credit. It leads you to believe that it's just cash. Is that right y'all? Because I read this story and I thought, well, Carrie and I got 500 bucks each once to take a flight that got from Phoenix to Vegas 15 minutes later.

And we thought we were making out like bandits. And then, yeah, and then we got bumped coming back to Houston. And we got to, it's the only time I've ever been in first class. See, I'm not doing a fundraiser for a first class.

I would love to do it first. Like that is my dream to fly first.

United gave me $3,000 paid for the hotel to stay the night with Ubers included and upgraded my airline seat to premium to fly out the next day. I literally traveled for free everywhere for a year. Right? mean, I love stuff like that. am so

I feel like that's my destiny.

Who do think Brad is? Who do you think Brad's? He's interviewing somebody right now for the Daily Mojo and he thought he'd be in here about 20 minutes after the fact. And don't get me wrong. It's fun hanging out with you, Rebecca. I just wonder who do you think he's interviewing that would that would take precedence over us? If it's not President Trump, he better have a codex. It better be Marco Rubio or JD Vance. If it's not one of those three, I'm going to be pissed.

I can't see there's anybody.

that he's not showing up to his freebie hobby cast here, where he doesn't get paid to do anything. I don't know how this happens. A United passenger boarded the wrong flight and wound up in Tokyo instead of Nicaragua. I don't know how you do that. don't know how they... How does that happen? thought they scanned your ticket. And then...

that happen?

I'm gonna go sit down there.

What'd you say? You can't be talking behind our back like that. Are you making your own?

Then all way down there.

Y'all, y'all, she's making fun of us behind our back.

No, I'm not her pacifier fallout

Oh, are you gonna? Okay, so here we go. Moment of truth. You're gonna pick it up, just wipe it off a hand or two, or are gonna get her a new one?

It's on the blanket here. No, it's like, well, it's on the floor, but it's not really on the floor.

Go on the floor.

see. It's got cat hair on it though.

Mmm, I don't know.

Careful, we don't want her like getting a hairball.

Here it so light and so bright.

All right, need Norwegian translations here.

She's a big girl now, look how big she is.

I see. They grow up so fast. Four months now.

really do.

Yeah, on the 23rd she's yeah, three days four months

She driving yet?

I think she's about to move out to be honest with you.

Are you ready for her to move out so can see? yeah. Hey, who's the bust back there? Nice bust, by the way. Who is that back there?

Not at all.

It's not really a particular person. It is a a bust explaining for not phrenology

What the hell is phrenology?

Cool. How accurate is it?

I honestly, like at the time when I was studying it, I thought it was really funny and interesting because it is interesting, but completely false. it felt at least it's not a lot of people know that they did that.

No, you're saying it's not an exact science? I would have thought.

Now I'm starting to question this because with all the crime happening, you know.

go there.

and I knew he would enjoy this and just y'all y'all y'all remind me later to put up the Whataburger grocery store picture. I got that later for Brad because I know he's going to enjoy that picture. How you been following punch the monkey.

No, what is Punch the Monkey?

The Monkey has been all over social media this week. The Little Monkey at a zoo in Japan.

I have my own little monkey that's like taking up all my time.

I see that. see that. OK, so this is actually been such a saga, such an emotional ride for those of us that love little punch the monkey and assorted animals. But we always root for the underdog. And this poor little monkey was abandoned by his mother and then released into the enclosure there at the old zoo. don't know where in Japan this is. Tokyo, I have no idea. And so.

And the monkeys in this habitat were picking on him. I mean, they got physical. It was rough stuff, the video that we've seen, rejecting him, pushing him around. They wanted nothing to do with this monkey whose mama had rejected him. And so what you're going to see here, it's now gotten a lot better for him. But this is how it started. and they put him back in with a stuffed animal. So he has this stuff that's his only friend, is this little stuffed orangutan. And look, watch this. This is how they treat him. Like, out of here.

it's so sad. This is actually not nearly as bad as it has been, being chased around, swung around, dragged around. And so he's just hanging out there, him and his little stuffed animal. And it's so sad. He's all alone. And you can see, this is how it started. Now look at this. He's been accepted. One of the mama monkeys. He became a surrogate mama. And now he gets to hang out with them. You can see there's a picture of her up there cuddling him.

But look, he just gets to hang out with them now. This group probably, I don't know the specific monkeys, but this video would not have been a part of the real three days ago when they were chasing him around and just spinning him and dragging him. was so sad and he would run away and grab his little orangutan and cuddle with it. And it was so sad, but look, he's all comfortable and happy now. So punch the monkey.

doing well there it looks like at the zoo in Japan. anybody knows differently, don't tell me.

call and punch the monkey when they're all punching him.

I noticed that. So the irony wasn't lost on me either, right? It's like, right. They called him cuddles. Then we would have never had this problem.

Just kind of cruel, I'm just gonna say.

Right.

Hang on, I'm gonna mute my microphone so can cough.

that was a very professional.

like a burp.

No, no, see, just didn't want everybody to me just coughing or not. Hang on. I'm going do it again.

professional. If you ever go back to my first ever, I'm going to call it my OG deep dive when I interviewed Ashton Forbes. Keep in mind, my microphone progression has not really moved in a positive direction over the past three years. But I remember it was the day before Thanksgiving, so was November of 2023. And I saw Ashton Forbes in his Malaysian Airlines theory, and I thought, I got to talk to this guy.

I have no format with which to do it. I just want to interview this guy. And it turned out to be just riveting and following Ashton Forbes, just X Ashton on X. You can follow along with the amount of knowledge that he has gathered in the past few years chasing down the subject. It has been unbelievable to watch unfold. But if you go back and you watch that original interview I did with Missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370,

You'll hear me clear my throat throughout the interview. And I kept hitting the mute button on the microphone, but see, I needed to click the mute button on the screen here.

So when I'm talking you can't hear me and I thought you know I was And then you go back and you watch that and I think I'm doing that the whole damn thing It's the most watched damn video on the at the mic show YouTube channel and the entire time. I'm just like Thinking I'm muted

Anyway, yeah, okay. I want to play a game called Creepier Cool with you and Brad, but before we do that, have you been watching the Olympics because holy crap. really? You're in Norway. You guys are.

You know, we had this TV commercial, I'm going to tell you, we had this TV commercial with the Prime Minister, when everybody's in the office watching the Olympics and then this one guy, they invite him to come watch and he's like, yeah, no, I'm good. And everybody just turns like this evil eye and turns quiet and the boss goes and get his box and then he needs to put all his stuff in it. He gets fired and he leaves the premises and get picked up.

What are to us?

by the prime minister in a dark car and driven away.

For not watching the Olympics, Norway's kicking ass, by the way. know you're not. Gold 17 to 9, almost double the next country, US and Italy, when it to gold medals. And then your total medal's 37 to 27. Anyway, congratulations. This is like the Norway games is what this is. So we're very happy for

we are not liking.

Yep. But we do all winter.

Is do what? Just play in the snow and then win medals?

and stuff like that. you know, it's

look at the comments.

What did I go here? Forgot Instagram just showed me punch the monkey for the and you're sad now right? it's yeah the bugs. no. no. Okay I'm just looking here. All right let me just see here. Okay so I want to show you all this and this would be see this this interview that Brad's doing right now.

Are you looking at Instagram while you're listening to us?

That's a fair point. What is that all about? What is that all about? Tico. Tico101. Yeah, right. Tyler says that NBC shares clips on TikTok, but if you try to share them, he says this video is unavailable. Yeah, Jill, should do the Keith illustrations. You're right. You're right. But let me find this video here. If you're not into curling yet. And by the way, the women, should I?

Lots of weight they're not touching

I you to

Lots of weight, they're not touching it.

Those are brooms like Seriously, that's not that's not your curling brooms of today. That's not your your grandfather's Curling brooms. Those are your grandmother's curling rooms as you can see

It's a leak, they're not touching it.

I love it! Whoa, it starts to fall, it starts to hang there on him. Yeah, look at that, huh?

Every time I hear sports commentary, like my mind gets dirty immediately

Watch this. He gets too excited. Watch what happens. no, bro just slipped and he kicked the stone. you get the cigarette in his mouth. Like, yeah, I'm still cool though. Anyway, so that guy, the Bonnie and it came to curse of the Bonnie because Canada really sucked in curling for a long time after that. And they, they, go back to that when he

I think they lost that match because he kicked that stone and then took him forever to get back on the winning track, something like that. don't know. know, accuracy isn't important on Friday live stream. We know this. What were you saying?

I said I can't listen to sports commentary without my mind getting dirty because it all sounds like freaking sex talk.

OK, hang on a second, because I'm so glad you said that. don't know. Were you here, ladies and gentlemen? Was Rebecca here when I talked about the sports radio bit from Omaha, sports radio on the show on sportsman like conduct? was the greatest radio bit ever.

I don't think so.

I'm have to try to put her back in bed, because she is.

Okay, well when you come back, I got to tell you your assignment because I actually already scribbled out notes to talk to you about. I was going to talk to you about this off the air, but my gosh, if you're going to bring this up on the air, then we're going to have to address this on the air because ladies and gentlemen, we are going to do a contest on the show and it will involve Rebecca. And I don't want to have to repeat it for your sake because I doubt you would want me to do that. Can we address this? What are your thoughts on this little girl?

Uh, that sold what? A hundred thousand. Uh, gosh, this is somebody's. You pissed off the baby. Hang on. Hang on. Let me cancel this. I had a tab open here. Hang on. Let me, uh, hang on. Let me do this. Let me do this for bread. Cause he might be, uh, hang on. He might be saying, where's the link, bro? Nope. That's not it.

Hang on. Let me send this to him again and put it at the top of his email.

Hang on. It's riveting, right? This is why you're tuned in to the Friday livestream, is to watch me eat paper, have paper disintegrate my mouth while I look for a link. There we go. OK. So I just send him the link. That way it pops up and he goes, oh, yeah, that's what I was supposed to be doing right now. The interview ended an hour ago, Keith. I don't know what it was. But I want to play this. Are you in the video? Let me see here. Hang on. It's the girl who sold.

She has sold over a hundred thousand. I this I printed this damn thing up over a week ago. So or almost a week ago Valentine's Day. She had sold over a hundred thousand boxes. I have no idea how many boxes she's up to now. You've been watching this story of little Pym Neal, six year old Pym Neal. What a sweetheart. So here's the story. If you aren't familiar. I have no idea what she said. Who cares? The person the anchor will tell us.

I'm gonna some of those scallop cookies.

Okay. Wow. Pim has wanted to be a gir since she was three, gett took time because of her

being somewhere now that she has loved and wanted. It just makes us so happy.

Pym's dad Luke interact together they rallied bus family to purchase cookies social media. And how are you trying to sell 10, that's a lot of cookies. Viral bringing in some 20, from there. Now she's on

10,000.

180,000 over a Girl Scouts career.

We got asked away Well, haven't you sold enough boxes? Is that enough? My favorite response was do you think they told Michael Phelps that he swam enough laps?

And like a true businesswoman, she's already chasing her next sale. You know, what do you want to say to all the people who have bought Keith's cookies? Thank you. Do you to thank them? And we want to thank CBS News Pittsburgh for helping us.

Nice job.

Yeah, shout out to CBS. I'm listening. Hang on.

What's the best part of it? Hang on.

Yeah, I'm not sticking around. I was going to relay to you all what life lesson Pimla. The original story that I saw is that I guess they wouldn't let her in because she had disabilities. I'm sorry. First of all, that would definitely track for Planned Parenthood-aligned Girl Scouts. So that's my question. That's my moral of the level. This little cute six-year-old girl comes up to your door. Would you like to buy some Girl Scout cookies?

Normally, like I have no problem walking by the table at Walmart and being like, no, I'm not supporting Girl Scout cookies. I wouldn't let my we found immediately when our girls were Girl Scout cookie age or Girl Scout age. They were in brownies. That's right. And then just about that time is when it became clear to us anyway who the Girl Scouts were. And we found a much better girl. American Heritage Girls, I believe, is what what ended up being called.

That's what our daughters went to and then instead of Boy Scouts Ezra was in that for a little bit and then it became Gosh Somebody will know it's a great group and it's like the actual what Boy Scouts used to be Gosh I can't even think right now anyway So so this little girl she shows up on your door knock knock knock We talked about some Girl Scout cookies you say your sweetheart you're cute and stuff, but you know

know man the Girl Scouts like to kill little babies you know to play in parenthood so I don't know that I want to contribute to that you know it's like if you have disabilities there's a pretty good chance that little Girl Scout troop and their partners in crime over there I don't know like what do you do do you buy

Girl scout cookies. Do you buckle under that kind of adorability, under that kind of pressure? You crack and go, right, I'll buy cookies from you because you're sweetheart and all that stuff. What is the, I'm trying to see here. What is the name of that group? I was even in it like with him. Why can't I have an impossible time remembering? Let's see. gosh. Rebecca.

Hang on. Y'all will appreciate this. Hang on. You're supposed to do that on the live stream.

that was was the agreement you made with Brad feeding feeding the the baby. So I don't know if that's going to help get her back here anytime soon, but I'll try trail life. Thank you gosh. thank you. Nice to say need trail life. So that's what Ezra did and he did excellent in that.

That's if you guys are looking for an alternative for your daughters. It's the American Heritage Girls. It's always important to find the right chapter and the right people that are running these places, because it could be a disaster. And then for your Boy Scout alternative, Trail Live USA. Yeah, thank you, Tyler. see that. Keith's not hitting the moonshine because Keith is on pain meds and Keith has to drive as soon as this is over. Keith is just miserable.

Is where he is so no moon chain right now. Let's see if she can respond I don't think she hasn't even read my message. I try I Tried to do everyone a favor there. So I've got I've got this segment here that I want to get to I can't do this without the Ziphyse Where we at here? Okay. All right. ha ha ha Hang on y'all. I got some stuff for you

I really hurt myself just then. Give me a second.

doing this. Just flicking my fingers at the paper. Really fucking hurt my elbow. Yeah, Jonathan, right. I see. Let's see here. Sorry. It's a yeah. Yeah, this is the okay. So we have a lot of mason jars in this house. Okay. So when I saw someone in the neighborhood giving away a whole set of mason jars, anyone come and get them or something? I think it was free.

I almost said something like I'll be there in five minutes. And then I thought, got plenty of these around the house.

So yeah, this is boring water. It's boring water, sorry. I did have, and I wasn't supposed to talk about it on the air at the time because the proper licensing hadn't gone into effect. But actually, one of the things that you are gonna be able to do through the new and improved ATM show, see, I'm not drunk, I'm just this incoherent.

ATM show calm is there will be that collection and it's on the YouTube channel right now if you want to go to YouTube comm slash at the mic show There is a section of the interviews of people their life stories remember Brad's a two-part or on stuff But there was an individual that I interviewed that was making moonshine I'm trying to think if we talked about it because I don't want to get anybody in trouble. Yeah, you know what I dreamed it It's just a dream. I don't know what I'm about and he made his own moonshine

And he may or may not have sent me home with a bit of it.

I'm not exaggerating when I say it not not that it can peel paint it did peel paint literally the underside of the mason jar was full but when I went to enjoy it a while after getting it I took off the top and I saw that I said huh so that's gonna do that to my intestines huh you know what I'm good

And plus it was all moldy and stuff. Like there was, wasn't sealed up right. I had it originally. I didn't let it all go to waste. I definitely damaged my body before that moment. But there you go. Where's Bradley? I don't know. All right. Let's put all, you guys should start tweeting at real Brad Staggs and just like where the hell are you? Brad, what is your deal? Okay. I've told you guys about this.

Twitter account that I love that just simply shows fact. It just posts facts. It's not opinion. It's not links to articles. It's just it tweets out facts, you know, and it's called at fact. If you want to follow it and just do the notifications and there's some fun stuff on there. So here we go. Hang on.

I've got some facts for you here. This is fascinating. And this reminds me of a, I don't know what it was, a psychology class or something I took in high school. And we learned about the world's shortest nap. And what this guy did, I'm sorry, let me read the fact first. Napping for just six minutes can help improve your memory. So the world's shortest nap was some crazy psychologist. He had like a, I don't know, paperclip or something, I don't know, marble.

and he put a pie plate down next to, so he's sitting in the chair and he's draping his arm hanging off the side, right? And he tried to fall asleep and he fell asleep and then his hand dropped the whatever it was into the pie plate and it startled and woke him up. So he had a one second nap or less than that, right? There's a world's shortest nap. That's the one thing I remember from that class. I'm not exaggerating.

That is the one that's probably good. That's the only thing I remember from this psychology class was the world's shortest. And I was able to bring that fun. Who knew that that fun fact would pay off in a big way for you and your entertainment here many years, many, many years later. Another fact is a lion's roar can be heard from five miles away.

People say I'm I say people say I'm loud

Lions roar five miles away. Why don't you join Brad and Jeffy on Saturday mornings? Man, I give you Wednesdays at three. I give you Thursdays at three, Kara. I give you Fridays at three. I give you Monday through Friday at seven, all times Eastern, by the way, over at the Blaze. I would like to not be, that's their thing. Okay, I need a moment if I could please. But anyway, I appreciate you wanting that much more.

You don't want. We're already at the Keith limit for people's tolerance. get it. Alliance War, five miles away. That's cool. A giraffe has the highest blood. This is wild. I've actually used this fun fact because I'm a nerd. I've used this fun fact in the week or so since I printed this up. The giraffe has the highest blood pressure in the animal kingdom because its heart pumps hard against gravity.

to reach his head. Highest blood pressure in the animal kingdom, the giraffe.

It'd be awkward to be that tall. I'm sorry. I don't care. I don't care if you got your giraffe buddies. I don't care. It's just weird. I know you can see for miles and miles and you can see the lion that roared from five miles away, but I don't know. Another fact for you, the word bed. Okay, I'm sorry. This one I have to illustrate this one. Where's my Sharpie?

This is so pathetic, y'all. I literally cannot reach for this marker. Stand by. I'm getting there. Hang on. This is absolutely pathetic. And I dropped it. Hang on. This is how I move like a fucking sloth right now. no, don't drop it. God. Hang on.

Hang on. The word bed looks like an actual bed. I this I got to see for myself. haven't really. All right. OK, you know what? I just pimped this Twitter account. Nothing but facts, y'all. Add fact on Twitter. Uh-huh. The word bed. We got it. Looks like the word.

We're in bed, see that? like a...

Okay, are we gonna add pillows here? What do we do? I guess if you hang on this is this is where you're get this kind of content, you know, huh? A word bed.

The baby's not amused with the fact that I just.

According to scientists, okay. All right now see this is the kind of stuff That I have to have Brad here for her I can't read you this fact without Brad I Don't want to play my creepier cool game without Brad. I Miss Brad. What's he doing? Has anyone checked his Twitter account? Is he talking about me? He thinking about me

going on over there with Brad? I'm just wondering. I don't really care. It's fine. He's got his own life to live. It's cool. Whatever. Let's see. This. right. In your town, in your state, surely you've...

you've had your state legislature or your city council, whatever, say we need to give tax incentives or something. Like Georgia, right? Georgia, great example there. They gave tax incentives to Hollywood, to movie studios to come in and it turned them into a movie lot destination. then of course MLB pulls the All-Star Game because Georgia wanted to make sure that only legal Georgia residents were voting.

in their elections. And so that's when Hollywood said, well, screw you, Georgia, we're not going to be shooting stuff there anymore. And then of course, they came back and MLB came back and whatever. My point is, what different municipalities or states will do is give tax incentives to businesses. remember to get Bass Pro Shops to move to, I believe it was North Charleston, South Carolina. When I lived there, they said,

This was great.

They said they were able to extend a tax break to Bass Pro Shops because Bass Pro Shops qualify it as an aquarium. And so there was like a sporting goods store or something that said, hey, we want the same tax breaks that Bass Pro Shops is getting from North Charleston, South Carolina. And there was a picture in the newspaper of the guy, the sporting goods store, and he had a fish bowl. And he dropped a rocket and he goes, look.

Now I'm an aquarium too. Where's my tax break? So you get into these weird Carbouts and it's just I don't know man Taxes in general suck All taxation is that but but when you start doing special privileges for different companies, hold on. What's this Tyler there? Missouri's now doing tax incentives for Hollywood. Okay. That's so Apple T. interesting. Okay

so, okay. Crawfish checked over there and I'm probably mispronouncing that. Fissel look, it's Crawf. Nothing for three. So Brad's, maybe he felt he could have followed and maybe he's not able to even communicate with us to ask for help. So he may have missed his interview too that he had to record. Now I'm stressed out. Now I'm worried and I feel like I need to go and check on Brad. So I'm going to go check on him. Just tell Rebecca that I'll be right back.

No. Okay, Nebraska. So here's the headline. Nebraska tax incentive audit uncovers $1.2 billion in lost revenue. So here's what happened. It's a very long article. I didn't feel like reading all of it. But I got the gist. They extended these tax breaks. And and then these companies were like, Hey, thanks for the tax breaks to come to your lovely state. I love Nebraska, as you know. Shout out. See you.

Sorry, where's the, there it is. Yeah, oh, look at that, there's Lil Red. And this is not drinking Keith, by the way. But what happened was these companies took the tax breaks and, oh, okay, hang on. Hang on. I'll clear it, I can only.

I'll catch everybody up here. Hang on. me, okay. The privacy, privacy of her home there, see? Cause it might be a while. She may not come back at all. You may be stuck with me for as long as I'm sitting here and doing this.

respect you and I feel that it is my obligation to provide you 47 minutes more of excellent content.

I will say that excellent is a very arbitrary word.

This is what the Wednesday wild card is gonna be like. It's gonna be me hanging out with Brad on his. So Brad's thing starts at three o'clock Eastern. And then I'm gonna hang out with him for a little bit. And then he's gonna say sayonara. And then it's just gonna be you and me kid. You looking forward to that? Wednesdays, mean, that's gonna be, it's gonna be three episodes and then I'm gonna just be like,

No, we're going to give it a shot. I have no idea what to expect. And so that's why you need to tune in starting this Wednesday at 3 PM Eastern so that you as well can see the disaster that is the Wednesday wild card show. All right. So I think it's going to be kind of like a little cross thing because he does the WTF Wednesday of WT. What does he say? He just says W what? what? The Wednesday. What the what the anyway. So he does that at three o'clock Eastern. That goes for about 45 minutes or so. And then I'll pick up

talk about who knows what probably stories out of Nebraska about tax breaks, which is going to be awesome. No, so these companies, this article cites two examples of companies. He cannot name publicly this individual. It's a state auditor because of tax filings, they're confidential. But one company just kept, they closed down, but they kept taking in the millions of dollars in incentives.

This is insanity. Another business declared bankruptcy and ended its qualifying projects over several years. So companies are just like they're either going out of business or they're leaving the state and they're still collecting money. mean, sweet. Ask yourself. You're asking for trouble when you start going down these. hold on a second. I've got to give credit to the because remember I had said whatever Wednesday or

You.

What a, I don't know, I threw out some names away, but it was Mary Carruthers that came up with Wildcard Wednesday, because it used to be anything, right? So thank you, Mary. That was awesome. It's pretty awesome. So that's what we're going with. That's why, that's why when you go to that, that new and improved.

website there. See that right there? mean, let me, uh, Oh, this isn't updated. was up there. Oh, Wes, if you're watching it updated on the phone, but it didn't update on the, it didn't update on the, uh, on the dust. I mean, God bless Wes. If you're a web developer, you know, it's maddening. You'll fix something and you'll go and look at it you'll be like, what's going on? What's that? Why doesn't it look like that over there? See this y'all see on the website, it doesn't show this, but here I want you to see.

It says, yeah, it says, why doesn't this focus? says, great demonstration, Keith. I want to go to that website now. But it says, let's get wild. And see, you click on it and then it'll take you to another page. So you click on it. And then what it does is it, there we go. It's pretty cool. You need to go to ATM. Don't you want to share this, share this show in this community with your friends?

I mean, aren't you encouraged to just be like, Hey, you should really come and be a part of this adventure. Uh, two times a day, three times a week, at least. And that's when he isn't, doesn't get a spare moment where you could just say, ah, let's go live. I mean, you get at least three shows a week of this kind of quality content.

ATM show.com. Check it out. But only on your phone. And not quite yet because it's not quite right. So just bookmark it and you know what? Just forget about it for about a week and then go check out ATM show.

How we doing on the tote board? should, what's the big board say? You know, that's what I'm going to ask her. Hang on. I got another message from Rebecca. Hang on. it's up. Now it's a frowny face, but it, but it made itself smile. That's a, that's an active emoji right there. okay. How much money has come into, buy me a coffee.

We got to get her because see, here's the thing. She needs to go and see your friend or I'll say, don't know. It might be work related. I have no idea. Something in Nashville, but we're going to have her take the circuitous route through Dallas. And then we're going to have Kelly drive up here from Austin. And then we could do a live stream from the restaurant. Hang on a second. Let's see. Uh, she's, think she's checking her account here. $74,000. Good job. Y'all. Y'all got, y'all got a lot of trips made for it.

I don't know if we're gonna get the answer here, but it is buymeacoffee.com slash R Mr. Reagan, is R I S T E R E G G E N. got that? Did I, did I do that from memory?

Can you hear, can you hear Tanner over here, sneezing and snorting and at he's not hacking up a lung right now. You all right, Tan? See, that's the good thing about old dogs. When you see them rolling around on their back and stuff, you know that they still have a will to live. So that's good. you know, scratches his back. He's... look at that! genius. See, this is why you're a genius. You see that? Buymeacoffee.com slash R, Mr. Aleph's saying, driving for...

Yeah, he'll bring you to, hold on. I'll drive her from Nashville to Dallas. Where she needs to get back.

Okay, very good. Now wait, that's not your on Tyler Morgan. Keith Spelling almost as good as Keith Matt. I'll say you're looking at the spelling bee champion of Bernie High School circa.

Hell, don't know, 87, 87. See, now can't, I've tried, I can't do this with my elbow right now. 86, 87. It's not the same with the one.

So, was I? Oh, yeah. So then I went to the county. I told you all this story. I know. And for those of you who have missed it, here you go. did Bernie High School, or Bernie High School, Bernie Elementary School proud when I won the spelling bee as a fourth grader and saw them tough fifth graders. And went and I represented the Bernie Elementary in the county, Cobb County, Georgia. Nothing like a good public education there. And then I went there and I lost on the first word.

Which was difficult. It was a difficult word.

that I'd never heard before.

I'm always getting new, new.

new listeners as the sloth reaches down for a piece of paper. Holy shit. It's fine. It's coming along great. It is. But here's the big word that knocked yours truly out of the spelling bee. Should ask for a definition. You dumb ass. Didn't ask for any of that. Can use it in a sentence. you? Because see, I'd heard of this word before.

I heard of ox. Everybody knows what an ox is. I never heard the word oxen. Your first word is oxen. oxen. I got this. I'll never forget. Holy crap.

Only did I realize a good three minutes later how embarrassing that was.

Oxen. O. C. C. You can just feel my teachers in the front row melting. S. A. I. N. Oxen. Yeah, I got it. Yes. No, I didn't get it. Y'all, I was back at school.

I don't even get a full day out of school for that shit.

Can y'all hear Tanner? I mean, he's having a day over here. Snorter Magoo. Okay. All right. A 57 year old man accidentally threw 20 gold bars worth into the garbage.

$140,000 worth. Oh, you hear him? Okay, Boatswain. Yeah, hold on a second. Hold on, before I read this story. Boatswain. What are some words that you have trouble spelling? Because the word that got me, that won it for me, let's see. So I had just told a buddy of mine, before the spelling bee started, I said the way I remember the word, because we had like a list of them.

words or whatever. And I was like tomorrow, Tom or row, Tom or row in my buddy got that word. And he looked at me and I was like, Oh, damn bro. After I gave him that little sneak peek there, a little trick, but the word that got me to the Cobb County, Georgia spelling bee that made the entire classroom erupt with my victory was incomplete. I could spell incomplete.

Oxen? That's above my grade level. I'm sorry. Incomplete? Got it. Oxen? Sorry. Boatsway, what are some other, what do you got here?

That would have been less embarrassing, Crawfish. Oct Sun. That would have been even, at least that one would have made phonetic sense to a degree. Yeah, that's right, Georgia. That's right. Thank you. Yes, all of you have picked up on that one. I would say, just scrolling through here, trying to catch up.

Cause y'all have some good things to say and then they pick up over there. You know what? Someone existed before the Oregon Trail computer game. You know what? The old school Oregon Trail game, actually we had this little common area there in like the fourth and fifth grade pods or whatever the hell they called them. And kids played Oregon Trail. in Oregon Trail, everything I've heard about it, watching my friends in fifth grade, hearing about it in more recent years, it sounds.

exactly up my alley, everything about it, even the dying of dysentery. But I've never really gotten to play that game. I think I sat down one time in fifth grade and then two minutes later, it was off to lunch. And then I realized why the computer was available because everybody realized what time it was but me. So let's just see. it's good. I don't know what's happening. He won guru. I don't know what's happening. I'm sorry.

Plowshare. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah.

Where was I? how I'd never? Hold on a second. Let me just give me a second

Hold on, there's a lot happening right now.

Hang on. Hang on. I'm working. I'm working it for the show. Hang on.

Hang on. There's so much going on. don't want to... I don't want to presume anything here. Because I thought...

Hang on. I don't know. All right. just Rebecca, if you need help, just just wave your arms frantically. No. In fact, Rebecca, if you sit down, if you sit down at your computer, then I'm putting you back on the screen. OK. But if you continue to stand up as you're doing now, then I will allow you to go on with your night.

you can close your camera at any time. Okay, see now I'm putting you on. Here we go. You're going on in three, two, one. Welcome to Revenge.

Sitting in my chair. Listen to that. I just came to say I'm sorry guys. I have to log off. I was convinced Brad was come had come by now.

I'm sorry. I heard it on the of my Stinctive structure. This is the Friday livestream. You're still, by the way, that next sentence didn't help either. heard it when it came out of my, never mind, whatever. So, you have to go because you're a young mother with a demanding child, I'll say, who

heard it when it came out.

You can hear her coming down. I'm going to have to lay down and sleep with her too.

you're going to need to discipline that child and train her to know that this two hour block.

overstimulated by now so I'm gonna have to go I am very sorry guys

You're good. You're good. Hey, have a good one. Thanks for hanging as much as you could. We never know. And we totally understand. All right. Have a good one. Go to bed. And we'll see you later. Bye. OK, so there she goes off on her merry way because it's nighttime there. And babies want to sleep. And I get it. Let's see. Oh, yeah. Look at you. Look at Forest, mommy. Hit that like button. Right?

See next Friday. We'll try again.

Like, subscribe, all the things, share it. And again, I've told you there's a risk involved. If you do share this program, I don't care who you share it with, a friend, an enemy, family, whatever, but there is a chance that if you share it with a friend, they might become your enemy. There's always that risk. So just beware. Okay. What was I talking about? I was talking about the guy who dropped his through his 20 gold.

I can only speak for me. If I had 20 gold bars, I feel like I would know their whereabouts at all times. I feel like on trash day, I wouldn't accidentally just be like, spring cleaning time. Let me just chuck this box. You good, bud? Let me just chuck this very heavy box. What is my problem? This is a heavy box here. Whatever.

I'm sure there's nothing in it. So here's what happened. He this happened in, I don't know your mom's house.

I really, I don't know how to pronounce these places. See, when you're reading a story and it says it happened in Torre La Pio, a hamlet of Porto Cesario, that doesn't really help me. I think maybe Italy, but does it, it doesn't say anywhere in the story because it was originally published in some, just be specific. Tell me a towel. And there we go. got there.

57 year old Italian man accidentally threw away a tin containing 20 gold bars. How heavy is that tin? worth about a hundred and forty two thousand dollars The unnamed man placed the bars in a public See see this right here That right there is karma. So he places these heavy bars in a public bin and daughter a lapido Wait, it's Italy. Sorry. Do I love bill?

A beachside hamlet in the country has already said that, After several hours of careful sifting, authorities did locate the tin at the local landfill and returned the gold bars to their rightful owner. I don't even know how you do that. Like, you went to a public bin. Surely, the tin that held these, it wasn't light. You weren't tossing a wadded up piece of paper into the car. Look at me.

Sloth time.

You weren't tossing a water. How can I? How can I throw this away? This is art. This is what am I doing? I just so weird. just people just. Same story, same story says. Says the this woman in Dubai. is another weird one, but not not as weird as that previous one. I'll tell you that.

A woman visiting Dubai mistakenly threw away gold worth around $13,000. So the lady's from India, she's visiting Dubai and she had put four 22 carat gold coins and a 50 gram 24 carat gold. Okay, this is... Look, congratulations. You have money and you have expensive things. I'm quite...

Happy for you.

But with this kind of ownership comes responsibility, I think. Maybe you just, I don't know, take better care. so, so.

I said the other story was crazier than this. I may be wrong. She puts the four gold coins and a gold bar into a pouch because she had worn out pouch one. So now she's in pouch two. And then she leaves it on the dining room table. That's the other thing.

Me personally, I have lots of just gold coins and gold bars laying around so I can understand how you just kind of haphazardly will leave them on the dining room table. You're like, I'll come back to that. I gotta go fold towels first. So she puts it on the dining room table.

Her son accidentally throws it away. That's the other thing. How do you accidentally throw away any woman's accessory? So I don't know. They went to the police and the garbage collector and they found it. Again, congratulations. You have honest people in your world that go and find this stuff. But how we get from point A to point B, I said earlier, I'm a pack rat and maybe that's my problem. I can't imagine something like this.

the shit pile up to the ceiling and it's in there somewhere. I never lose anything. I mean, no, let me rephrase that. I lose a lot of stuff, but it's never gone.

I've described this scene of forest-sized carnage with all the trees that I chopped down. I have so many shows for you that live in my head. So many guest ideas for you that live in my head. So many deep dives that I would love to present to you with compelling guests and incredible stories that just are just jaw-dropping.

but trying to get guests, man. And when you show them, when they go and they look at something as professionally done as today's show in particular.

You're like, why won't they agree to come on my show? In fact, there's a very good journalist who I have invited here just this week. And if he's watching right now, trust me, Thursdays are totally different than Friday. Let me just check here. Yeah, no, yeah. I mean, he was communicating with me, but I offered next.

Yeah, that interview is not going to happen. Anyway, so I have all these great show ideas for you and topics that we really need to discuss as a family here. There's a lot of important stuff. But if I can't get people on who know what they're talking about, then you get stuck with me reading content from the X account at fact.

The Wednesday wild card is gonna be a mess. And I have a feeling that the Prevail Distillery Triad blended bourbon whiskey is gonna be your show prep. I know you are eager for Wednesday, because I know I sure as hell am. February 25th, 3 p.m. Eastern.

Is it too late to rethink this whole Wednesday thing?

Okay. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. on. Hold on. Hold on. on. on. Let's talk about this. Let's talk about this. I need, this is a serious assignment here.

Yesterday, and this isn't the first time this happened. I'm going Sarah McLaughlin here. I'm going to work on a mystery with you. I seriously need to understand what the hell is happening. People are commenting on shows before they go live on YouTube.

happened yesterday and I can't go back and look at the comments. And by the way, BornGenius, you posted a long comment at the end of yesterday's deep dive and I just saw it after I was backing out. So I missed it. Thank you for whatever it was. If you want to retype it or DM it or whatever the hell, put it in this one. I missed it and I felt bad because I like, I closed out of here. And as it was backing out, I was like, crap, there's a low. So BornGenius just.

You know, I missed your message at the end of yesterday's deep dive about the crashing economy. But this Nephilim thing, the reason I bring this up is my guest and I, for one reason or another, and not his fault, I'll tell you that, we keep delaying it. But that in StreamYard, where I, this is inside baseball, this is what you get when Brad doesn't show up. I just explain crazy shit to you.

So somebody was commenting yesterday morning before the Thursday deep dive, and they were commenting through YouTube. And I went to YouTube, I'm like, where are they seeing this thing? So something is there something out there? And the reason I am picking Rich's comment about the Nephilim is because this is a show that I've had to reschedule several times now, but it still lives in StreamYard. And I'm just going to go live eventually at some point. And I just wonder, can you guys see?

on YouTube, go look around right now. Go scroll around and tell me, do you see coming up, Keith talks about the Nephilim with his guest and whatever. I just wonder, because that is a show we're going to do, but I keep having to postpone it. And I just wonder, do you see it sitting somewhere where you can comment? anyway, okay, well, thank you, Born Genius.

I think, okay, just thinking as well. Thank you. Yeah, was a very entertaining show yesterday, but not in a good way. I don't know. Anyway, it was terrifying as hell. So if you missed yesterday's deep dive.

Well, I'll show you what you do easier. You go to...

You go to the tab I've already closed and that's awkward. Anyway, atmshow.com and then you just click on the deep dives and then hell, don't know. I really don't know what you do, but it's over there somewhere. It's also on the YouTube channel, youtube.com slash at the Mike show. Okay, I look forward to it. Okay, all right, Rich, I'm looking forward to it as well. Okay, I was wondering if you maybe saw it somewhere. It is coming.

Hang on. can tell you right now, actually, our most recent scheduling. It is the Nephilim show that has been postponed because it originally I wanted to I wanted to read these couple of books and and I ordered them and they never came. They never came. I had to get refunded. It was a mess. And now it's just whatever. So March 19th is the Nephilim show as of now. Rich.

So I mean that could change. What else we got? Was Brad on today? Brad is not. Brad is AWOL today. We'll have a conversation later, you know. No, he had something going on. He was going to join us late and apparently late became never. So Brad, gonna roll in here at never o'clock. Apparently. Let's see, hold on, hold on. Jonathan's got something important here. Once you set up an upcoming live link on YouTube, anyone can post a comment. I do it frequently with a popular sports show. Okay, but Jonathan, here's my question.

Because that's what I gathered based on these comments that I'm getting before I go live on YouTube. What makes me feel like a dumbass?

What makes me feel like more of a dumb ass than usual is that I personally can't go and figure out where are they seeing this? I've tried looking at my YouTube channel through a different account. I've tried looking at my YouTube channel just through no account, not logged in at all. I see it behind the scenes when I'm logged in to the At The Mic Show YouTube channel, but I never can see it publicly.

So if you want to take a, Jonathan or whoever, if you want to do this, you know, message me on X, a screenshot, I would love to see where you're seeing the Nephilim show sitting there waiting. It's weird because I can't find it. It's driving me nuts. Okay, sorry.

And I'm not even drinking y'all, this is sober Keith.

No promises for next trip. Does Keith have anywhere to go? No, OK. Yeah. All right. So next Friday I'll drunk AF. All righty. Let's see. What did I start to read here? see? This is a fact. This is a fact. See, this is a fact that I can't do this fact without Brad Staggs. and I didn't get to tell Rebecca about the press conference, sports press conference thing. in case you all missed it.

In Omaha, Nebraska, on sportsmanlike conduct. What's the name of the station? Anyway.

Sports especially football they they have these press conferences the coaches will get up there and then he'll say stuff like they pound them They pound it hard up the middle or something, you know, and it's just normal, you know Any kind of verbiage in football sounds perverted when it's not supposed to be, you know They're tied in We grabbed a hold of him when he came across the line something like that,

So what you do is you have like a sexy female voice and Rebecca can provide this for us We'll have a record line or just have her read the lines on the show here And then you have to guess if he said it or not the coach and so like you can imagine her I apologize in advance to everybody listening and I do mean everybody. you can hear like Rebecca say like We grabbed their tight end when he came across the light You see I'm saying say I'm saying and you have to figure out did he say it or is it just us being? Weirdo perverts. I'm sorry

more so than usual. So yeah, and you know can give away these, we got some of these here.

Kind of I was reaching down here thinking I had some of my at the Mike show hats, which I do and will give those away as prizes. I just didn't realize when I reached down here that I wasn't going to come back with a hat. I was going to instead come back with with my Edmonton Oilers socks. Yeah, like those so you don't get to see these. So what you get at the end of a solo show and the reason these were on the shelf and not just tossed on the floor weeks ago or whenever it was is because.

when you live with a Cheagle named Matilda who takes the opportunity to, y'all, I swear, I go to the closet, I cannot tell you how many times and Matilda will be sussing around my stuff, looking for socks, kind of starting to crane her neck into the dirty clothes hamper. It's like child. And so I am constantly having to, when I put my socks in the dirty...

It's usually in a cylinder thing that she can't get into. But if it's almost laundry time, I'll have them in a regular laundry basket. And I've got to look and make sure there are no socks within sight, nothing sitting on top, nothing she could sneak out or whatever. And I got to bury them down there or wrap them up inside some other article of clothing. This is my...

I was I gonna do here. God only knows Malinak. Let's see here. Looks like Auburn. I'm sorry. No, no, sir. That is the Edmonton Oilers.

Let's see. Hey Dwight, what's going on? Snow day? I want a snow day. I want a snow day. Don't tell me we had one a month ago. That doesn't count. Three weeks ago, whatever. That was an ice, that was crappy ice days. You can do anything with that snow. I don't like that.

It's spring here now and I'm a little I'm I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm actually I'm not I'm not okay with it. I'm really

I hate summer here. I hate it so much. I think I go to Colorado so much. You think I like the politics of that state? Hell no.

like the cool air. Okay, here, let's do this. This is gonna be fun. This is gonna be fun. You find it. Don't go anywhere. I know you're thinking, All right, this guy is he's done. I'm not done. You're gonna actually want to stick around for this. Hang on. Hang on. Okay. Okay, so we're gonna play a game. And I'm I'm gonna have six different videos playing for you here. Not at the same time. Relax. And

And I can't do polls because there's a limitation here, guess. But I want you to.

I want you to tell me if you think it's creepy or if it's cool. All right. So let's go through these. I've got six videos for you.

or pictures, whatever.

I mean, look how nice and neat the shelves are. You know, it's natural. Like at Walmart, it's just like half of these are empty. You got shit down here on the floor. You got somebody that's standing between the glass and the shelves, and you're like waiting patiently, and you want to clear your throat or say something. Or maybe you pull the door back to make them go, wait, someone's there. But sorry, maybe it's just me. OK, the first thing.

See, if you just bear with me while I close these tabs, that will make everything go smoother for... no, hold on, hold on, hold on. Here's a tab I didn't know that I had open. Hang on, this one we have to play this game. Before we do creepy or cool, hang on. We have to play this video. All right, so this chick is gonna demonstrate for us. She's gonna put... Let's see, she's gonna rub this Band-Aid.

on the escalator thing to demonstrate. You're presuming we're going to find out how nasty, how nasty this is. See that? OK, so OK, so OK, that's right. She puts a bandaid and now she's got this Kleenex here. And then she's she's she's she's just, you know, picking up whatever dirt or what have you. But don't get too distracted because. Something's going to happen down here at the bottom of the escalator while she's doing a little science experiment for us.

Nasty what does she do? She's wiping it. Oh, she's cleaning it. That's right. I'm sorry I missed that the first time I watched this what's going on down here at the bottom of the escalator something Something's happening. I don't know those girls were walking and now there's a fight or something. Oh, it's a stick-up. Oh hell. wait You got a you got a superhero came to the rescue back there. Look at he's taking on everybody to save those two girls that we saw earlier Oh my gosh roundhouse kick. Let's go Batman or whatever the hell that's go

Okay, but what's happening here though? I kind of want to see. I want to see what what did we find out here? Alright, yep, she made it all the way around. There you go. You're gay. There we go. Okay.

I thought it was funny.

No? Anybody?

Okay. See, Kara3022, she updates me on breaking news during this. Because see, while I do have two TVs right here, I never turn them on. Do you find yourself doing that? Like if I just had a remote and I could just turn it on and just go, all right, let me go to Fox News. All right, let me just go to CNN. All right, whatever, just News Channel, blah, blah, But you know what, I don't feel like it. When I sit down here and I'm trying to prep for the show, which clearly I do meticulously, as you see, I brought so much good.

goodness to the table today. I don't want to sit down and turn it on. And then where the hell's the Roku remote? Where did I put that one? Oh, gosh. And then you get the Roku remote. And then you think, think, think, think, think over and then you click on the app you want. I mean, does it do I sound like a first world problem or what? You're like, Okay, which which news thing? Okay, I'll do this one. And then which feed do I want? Dear God, man. By the time I get this thing set up,

Any breaking news that would have happened is already on yesterday's newspaper. So it's like, it's not even worth it. I just, I'm lazy. But anyway, thank you for the breaking news. I love how Kara informs me because if I catch her breaking news things, it's very helpful. So you keep doing you there Kara. So breaking news, Trump gives Iran 15 days to strike a deal. All right, there you go.

That's what the app is for. You know, Tyler, I know, man. I just never get comfortable with using that. You're right. I should though. Kara 3022, you have a power that you don't realize. See, what you could do is during the At the Mic shows, you could put breaking news.

Tony Blair, it turns out is the Antichrist. And then I would be like, I would just read it. I was like, hey, y'all, I mean, look at that breaking news. out Tony Blair turned out to be the Antichrist after all. Huh. And then we can go back to our conversation. So just don't abuse that power. after the Olympics and Ramadan, I love how Ramadan is always respected by the West when it comes to military action.

Cause you know, Christian holidays sure. Nevermind. Those are respected. I have a sip of water from my moonshine glass here. If you don't mind, just bear with me.

chief. Okay. That's right. That's right. That was my when I said Russia is not going to invade Ukraine, but if they do, it's going to be after the Olympics.

Sure enough, did they wait? I don't think they waited so after the Paralympics though, did they or?

Hold on a second.

ADD and I apologize. What day did the 2022 Paralympics end?

What do we got here?

2020 26 winter Paralympics in Milan Cortina concluded on Sunday, March 15th, 2026. The closing ceremony concluded Cortina D'Ampezzo marking the end of the 10 day event. All right. So March 15th. So 15 days from now is before March 15th. It's March 5th. If no eight, seven. Yeah. Huh.

No, no, no, crawfish. I'm not saying that Christian holidays like Gambia loving Christmas. I'm talking about for a tax for a tax from those that maybe aren't of the Christian persuasion. They don't care what day it is. Let's see. on. Mm hmm. Mm Just looking. Yeah, I'm right. am welcome. You know what? Here, I actually need somebody to do this.

So any volunteers? I like how Dalty Bell is kind of volunteering. Gabby. Here's the thing. I don't know which sports show was it. I thought this was excellent. Excellent. Was it, when the two guys would go back and forth and, pardon the interruption and they had that producer in the show that would correct them all the stuff they got wrong. Brad and I need that. Hell, I know I need that.

need somebody like the last few minutes of the show to say earlier today, Keith, you said that Tony Blair is the Antichrist and you meant to say actually factually, you meant to say it's Michelle Obama. I don't know. I don't know. But like, you know, you got a fact check on the fly. So if you, if you hear something that maybe you don't think is right or somebody in the

in the comments says that's not right blah blah blah and then I missed the correction you can just jump in there and go Nebraska didn't lose $1.2 billion to tax incentives to businesses that fled the state it was actually $1.3 billion I swear if it's a fact check like that I'm coming through this camera and we're having words

Okay, so make it good fact checks. All right.

Okay, let me see. And let me catch up. Let me catch up. Let me see if anyone's taking me to task or something here. Okay, dear God. Okay. Gambia is Muslim. Okay. Is Gambia, dear God, must I spell out exactly what I mean? Has Gambia ever been behind an attack on the US in the name of Islam?

Anna Christian Haun- no don't answer that please don't I don't want to do my pardon the interruption fact check yet not right now I gotcha I got you good lord man okay alright what am I got here just check it here hang on hang on

Oh, OK, this Tony Gonzalez guy and not the awesome former Atlanta Falcon. I think he played for some other team before then. Who knows? So Congressman Tony Gonzalez, you remember when he had that staffer set herself on fire? You knew there was so much more. You don't just be like, you know what, I'm bored. Let me set myself on fire.

he works for a congressman? got it, got it. Okay, so anyway.

If you're interested in that story, that's crazy. Texas is crazy.

Yeah, it's fun here. No, it's good. And everything's going to be just fine. Let me just say here. Yeah, I know who Tony Gonzalez, the Titan played for. I was kidding. You know what? feel bad about Tony Gonzalez for, well, for the fact that had to play for the Falcons, but that he had a dream when he was trying to figure out who to sign with. And apparently he dreamed that he was in the Georgia Dome looking up and confetti was falling.

I mean, that might have been for a division championship. It wasn't for anything beyond that. Oh no, really? Well, that's not dedication. I won't set myself on fire for you. I don't know. And then I too say knee, questioning your loyalty to me and the program, honestly. But okay. Listen, looking ahead here, in fact, I've got my damn calendar. I've got this fancy schmancy whiteboard now.

And then I can, you know, I put the dates on and then I put all the stuff and I was sitting here before we went live today and I thought, problem is it's in my line of sight, but I didn't write big enough to be able to read it and tease ahead. There are some very good, should just take my word for it. Just trust me, bro. There's some great shows coming up here.

What's today's date? Hell, I don't even know what day it is to be able to promote it. So I'm chasing a guess for next week. That would be absolutely awesome. my goodness. On March 5th, that Thursday, we have to talk about some crazy health stuff that you are going to want to be tuned in for that show on March 5th. Is that a Thursday? I don't know. I can't read the day of the week over there.

So that's interesting. There's some weird stuff that happens in the body that people like me, maybe you knew forever. Remember we had the EMF show, talking about the San Francisco 49ers, are injured at a far faster rate than any other NFL team. And it turns out their practice facility has been located next to an electric substation for the last.

12 plus years and lo and behold, that's when the 49ers have been suffering these soft tissue injuries at this high clip. And so we had an individual on who did a study on that. It's absolutely fascinating. And it's just something over here that I kind of want to preach for, but obviously I'm on introducer.

So when you go to your practice field, you want to take your EMF meter and you want to find out, no, there we go. Look at this. Look at that. Everything's fine. See? Remember when I did it up here and it went on? Yeah, see that? It gets angry up here. There's like cancer causing materials all around me. See this? I do this for you. I risk bodily harm every day. But anyway, that was a fascinating show.

And it's going to be something along the lines if you care about your health and I'm talking about some connections that you never really. I'm sorry I never really thought of. And I'm going to talk to this individual coming up on March 5th. This doctor. God only knows what the March 12th show is going to be since I can't read it from here. What day was Nephilim? What did I say earlier? One of these days is Nephilim. I don't know.

my goodness, yes. These shows coming up, y'all. You won't believe. I just see the, my goodness. Great stuff coming up. I hope you'll join me for the Thursday deep dive, 3 p.m. Eastern, every Thursday right here. And of course, Friday live, we hang out. Sometimes you get just me. And I know you love it, because here you are. And then Wednesday, the Wednesday wild card, that'll start 3 p.m. Eastern. The simulcast with Brad and all the stuff that he does for the what the, Wednesday.

And then he'll hand it off to me and then I'll sit here and I'll babble and probably drunk and you'll love it anyway. Thank you so much. Please have a That's what I thought crawfish I thought they just had a bad training staff. That's what I told him I hope you go back and watch that interview if you haven't already but What do I say? I'm just looking after the hold on see look at that Dalty Bell after the EMF show My wife wanted the silver line hat right, right is probably a ghost

Probably a ghost up there. That's fine. Where did I get the EMF thing? Let's see. don't Amazon. I got this because of the Tom Carr ghost shows that we did. So I could go, you know what? Hang on. Maybe I'll start carrying this in my truck so when I go by a place that looks haunted, I'll walk in there. I'll walk in there. I'll live stream with the phone in one hand.

And then I'll do the EMF meter and the other one and I'll just be it'll just be gold just like the last half hour has been here. Am I right? Weird body stuff. That's how there you go. Weird body stuff on Thursday, March 5th. Let's see. Hold on saying. Yeah. People scoffing it. come on now. No, the EMF show was real. I don't care what anybody says. Yeah. Brad's goes to the future already. Honey, you know what? Brad and I have a place that we need to. It's three places around here.

Then I'm going to take a tour with Brad one day and we're going to record it. I'm going to bring it to you and maybe to make for a good wild card Wednesday. I don't know, but there are three places of interest that he and I need to go exploring within a couple of hours of here that could make for some fun or it could just suck and then I'll never with the video see the light of day anyway. OK, have a great weekend. Please be safe.
