Speaker 1 (00:00):
I swear when I looked up at the TV, the
sun was shining inside Great American Ballpark. Okay, there it
is again. It's going in and out. Uh. Watching footage
of opening day coverage, which I told you is has
been less than stellar for me watching FanDuel and what
they did a national Hey it's you know, it's opening day,
(00:21):
and I was looking for coverage of the Findlay Market
Opening Day parade and stuff, you know, all the festivities
going on in Cincinnati, which in years past Fox Sports
Ohio which is what fandel used to be, and nothing.
It was national coverage of you know, Baseball's opening Day.
And now they finally went to coverage before the The
Reds are supposed to start here in about an.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Hour sixty three minutes from first pitch?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Is that what I just said? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
No, but it was four to ten, isn't it four ten?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Is is FanDuel a big giant company that was big
enough to swallow up Fox Sports Ohio? Or did Fox
Sports Ohio just change its name?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
They were purchased and by FanDuel. Actually there was I
think there was one other what was it, oh is
Ballet Sports. So it went from Fox Sports Ohio to
Ballet Sports to FanDuel, But for all intents and purposes,
all of the programming on FanDuel basically stayed the same
as Bali Ballet Sports, and then Ballet Sports basically stayed
(01:23):
the same as Fox Sports Ohio. So you could still see,
you know, the Reds, you could still see the Jackets,
so on and so forth. For the most part, it
seems like the last couple of years the Jackets have
there's a few games that go to I think it's
like ESPN plus Hulu or something. Yeah, excuse me, do
you have to stream it?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Is Bally part of the Bally casino people?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yes, I think, Okay, I'm guessing. I'm guessing, but I
want to say, yeah, Bally sports. But FanDuel clearly is
an app, a betting sports app that I and Yeah,
I don't know the lineage here. I just it's just.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
A curiosity with me because I'm thinking, Okay, FanDuel was
like so many other apps that got introduced for for
sports gaming in Ohio. Yeah, so they must have been
making a lot of money to swallow up something that
Bally had already swallowed up.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I think they bought it. But then I could again,
I could be wrong on that too, I guess hmm, yeah,
mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, that's a curiosity.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Man. Speaking of baseball, we didn't get to this yesterday,
which I thought was interesting because I love when we
have local things that end up in a national spotlight.
I just think it's extra cool and it's not like
it needs to be in the national spotlight in order
for me to go. Man, Yeah, that really is cool, no,
because I always thought it was. I think Huntington Park
(02:56):
is one of the best. And you know it's a
minor league park, but that's a fan fantastic place to go.
I'm sure you've been right to watch the Clippers. Yeah, man,
I absolutely love that area down there, and.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I've never actually paid to go in, but I've been there. Yeah,
you can see. That's the beauty of it. You can
be on the sidewalk and watch a game.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
You've never been inside.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Going inside hunting the Park, oh wow, Okay, I've been
down there for other stuff around the arena before and
just say hey, while i'm down here, let me look around.
And yeah, yeah, I was very very impressed.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
It's it's gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
It's a beautiful, beautiful place. It really is.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
It's a really really cool place and I am in
shock that you haven't been there because you can go
for dirt cheap, man.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah, you can go for dirt cheap.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Take the kids and it'd be a great outing for
you to take the boys and you know, the kids
and just go down there and uh and hang out,
especially when it's Diamond Dog night.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
That's what I should take them, so they can just
eat themselves into Komas, go home and be quiet.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, that'd be great. That's perfect, dude. For two dollars,
you can make all of them like just miserable and.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Put a limit on how many dimes. No, dog, really,
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
No, No, No, that's that would be think about that
if they tried to be like, well, you've got five
limited five Like what, No, there's no limits. Sweet, And
they're the same dogs that they sell otherwise, based on
everything I can tell, unless somebody's gonna call and blow
the whistle on me, but based on everything I can tell.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, but they don't have the green slime on the water,
which I don't know if that makes them any better
or worse.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I think it makes them worse. I'm just gonna say it.
I think it makes them worse.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Dude, was so sincere. The green slime ain't there. It
ain't good.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Oh my gosh. I'm not taking that, by the way,
as the Bible. I know, you just it's just a callback.
I get it. But anyway, opened in two thousand and nine,
I like a little bit of history here, a seating
capacity of ten thousand, one hundred and voted one of
the ten best minor league ballparks in the US, checking
in at number eight in the USA today ten Best
(04:54):
Reader's Choice Awards. Really really cool.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Do they ever do outdoor concerts there?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
It might be after a game where they'll feature somebody
kind of like what the same Great American Ballpark after
the Reds play. We've seen who do we see? My
wife and I went to one there where there was
a con and it's major artist. I think Nelly's performed.
Not here, but I do believe that they do have
some concerts that have happened after the Clippers plays.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I mean, in ten thousand, that's no slouch as far
as a venue goes. You could when the Clippers are
playing elsewhere, have concerts in there and make some money
to the team.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, now that I don't think they do, and if
they are, I'm not aware of it. But after a
game they could possibly do that. I know the Reds
will do fireworks and you know, and all kinds of
cool stuff like on the weekend Friday, I think, and
then they'll do major artists will perform there and stuff.
(05:54):
As a matter of fact, I think Snoop Dog in
August is going to perform at Great American Ballpark.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I want to say right that eup A.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I thought I saw that. But yeah, the home opener
is coming up. You heard Marshall talking about it's coming
up on April first. No, that's not April fools. It
is by definition, but no, it's not April fools. They
really are having a home opener and they're going to
battle the Saint Paul Saints. It's really cool the way
(06:22):
on the one side down the third base side, if
you sit on that side, that's where the bullpen is,
and you can you can be right there on top
of whoever's warming up the pictures and stuff. And man,
the crack when they're makes a different sound.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
It's almost as if the it's acoustically created for that
specific frequency or something. Because you look like it. Well,
I mean great at the Riverfront was the same way
you That crack was so distinguishable in all the crowd
noise didn't matter. You always heard it.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah, man, it's it's something else to see them throw
and you're on top of them like that, and it
just makes a different sound when it hits the glove.
It just makes a year. You go, I've never been
able to create that when I throw it. Oh it's
because I can't throw ninety four miles an hour. There's that.
So yeah, it's a diamond dog night on the first.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Do you ever catch a ball?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Never have?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Really never have.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I worked with a guy, Mark the Shark for a
million years who caught one. He's an Indians fan in
Cleveland and he was on Sports Center.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
He was like on a like on the goodness. Yeah, yeah,
I think I told you. We went down to Riverfront
one of his contests when I was selling cars in
our place when the sales contest that month, So the
boss sent us all down there, got us a little
tour bus thing and gave us a credit cards and
have dinner, have drinks, enjoy yourself. And we abused it.
But still, wow, Yeah, I went to Montgomery in before
(07:48):
the game and just went nuts. But my buddy Roger,
who had a few drinks, were in right field and Rogers, yeah,
you know what, fuck funny, I'm good catch a ha loah,
hot on and he took his head off and held
it up. I'll be damned.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
He like caught it on cue just right.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
It was the most amazing thing. Doug Henning should have
been involved. It was magical.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I wish that you had video of that or somebody
would have been rolling tape because that would have been
viral instantly.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah, there was like nine of us that went on
his and we're all just looking at could he possibly
do that?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
That's hilarious. Let's go to the Legacy Retirement Group dot
com phone lines.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Hey, ed, Hey, what's happening?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Hey? Brother? I saw haul of notes there at h
at the Coipper Stadium.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
But it was not after a game.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
What was was it Huntington Park or are you talking
about the old Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Okay, yeah, something good park?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah, oh okay, I.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Saw I saw rush at the old stadium.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Okay, yeah, wow, we're going way back there. But yeah,
I didn't know. I didn't know they did concerts there.
If they did they don't do a lot of them,
I don't think so. Yeah. Yeah, how long ago was
that Hall of Oates had to be after two thousand
and nine?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I was dating my wife, so that was before sixteen.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Uh, wife's gone. Now well wait a minute. They Huntington
Park didn't. It didn't even open until two thousand. Wait
a minute. According to this opened in two thousand and nine.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
So then it was while I was dating her, So
it was, and it was before sixteen.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Twenty sixteen. Okay, all right, yeah, I got you now,
all right, that makes sense? Ed? Thanks? All right?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
That Hall of Oates ever even played there, to be
honest with me, either over at the old stadium at
Cooper Stadium, you remember the biggest concert they ever had, right, No,
Garth Brooks. Yeah, he came in, did a show, sold
out so quickly. Okay, we'll stay in due another night.
I think he did nine or ten nights. Remember that,
because the response was just so amazing.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I do remember that. Yeah, Hall and Os was terrible.
We saw him live. Terrible.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Oh Darryl, Darryl can't hit the high notes anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Well, he was just talking the words, and yeah, it
was I was like what and tears for fears warmed up.
They were fantastic.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
They've been opening for them for a while.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Now, yeah, it was a few years ago.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
There's more than I forget tears and fears. No, no
more Hall of Oaths.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Oh yeah, that's yeah, that ship sailed proof of citizenship
absentee ballots. So what the Trump order means for Ohio elections? So, yeah,
this new directive and they're saying it could change Ohio's rules.
Here's the thing that I like, basically what the President
is eoing here is something that I feel like Secretary
(10:52):
of Lrose has basically already had in place between him
and Yost. There is it. We are buttoned up here
in Ohio. And so yeah, here's what I here's the
way they word this Ohio's rules for it could change
Ohio's rules for absentee ballot and fuel Republican efforts to
crack down on rare occurrences of non citizen voting. Well,
(11:16):
you know, they're trying to say, well, look, there aren't
many people. For instance, they say, requiring proof of US
citizenship to vote and prevent absentee ballot arrive after election
day of being counted. And then let's see where was it?
It was, Oh, it's it's illegal for non citizens in
Ohio to vote in federal of course, state or federal elections.
(11:40):
And it happens rarely. Yost indicted six people on charges
of illegal voting last year, and so I say to
my when they go it's a rare occurrence that non citizen, Well,
then why have any laws on the books if you
know it's not If there's less than five percent of
people in frack on those laws, why even have them
(12:01):
on the book.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
But you realize that says in state and federal elections.
That's some stating that here in Gintherberg in order to
pass something that things might not go askewe right.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
But this particular article, though, is just spotlighting Trump and
the executive orders and so on. But I just under
this order, people who register to vote with the National
Mail Voter Registration form must provide a US passport, Military ID,
real ID compliant driver's license, or state registration card. Applicants
(12:33):
could also submit a valid federal or state government issued
photo identification as long as it proves citizenship or they
provide documents that do so.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
That's outrageous. Why would you want citizenship? My gosh, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
States to fail that failed to enforce the rule could
lose federal election funding. Good And now they're saying, you know,
it's illegal for non citizens in Ohio, of course to
vote in state or federal elections, and it happens rarely.
And there's a law enacted in twenty twenty three that
requires the Bureau Motor Vehicles to put a non citizen
(13:09):
label on the driver's license, which I'm sure they're crowing
about that too, going that is suppression, Like why would
they have to be labeled? You know, you have to
provide who you are when you travel on a plane.
Why And I was telling you earlier. I don't want
to get all warped up again it's start like throwing stuff.
(13:32):
But I'm just like, why is it so bad that
you have to prove you are a citizen to vote?
If you what, I can't go to Canada and vote.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
If I stopped by Chucky Schumer's office right now I
wanted to talk to him, I would have to provide identification.
Oh yeah, So why on oif oif should we not
have people providing identification to make the biggest decisions we
make as a country.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, they go on, go on. Selena Stewart, CEO of
the League of Women Voters, she's now, she's going this
executive order is an assault on our republic and a
dangerous attempt to silence American voters. No, it's not. How
is it silencing them? She's saying that it could change
absentee voting. What Trump is saying is they have to
(14:16):
be in by election day, and currently election officials count
mail and ballads received up to four days after the election.
This is a state of Ohio, by the way, because
we know in some states you can I think you
can get it as much as like three weeks after,
maybe more something like that. I remember reading that when
we were talking about election voting.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Pay your electric bille that way. See a lot of
works out for you.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I mean, yeah, they're stricter on when those arrived. Credit
card payments, those are strict. You don't pay those on time,
they're going to hit you over the head and they're
going to begin to adversely affect your credit rating. But
is our credit card companies are they they're all racist
because they make you pay on.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
This is called MasterCard. That's a slavery reference. You don't understand, man,
you can't feel what I feel. I can't even say
stuff without laughing anymore looking at you what I say.
It makes it difficult for me to keep my serious
face on.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
This is a dangerous attempt to silence American voters. That
is an incorrect statement. This has nothing to do with
silencing anybody. I think one hundred percent of us agree.
We want everybody to vote, but you need to do
it legally and in a timely manner.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
This is to add volume to amher Akan voters that
it's that easy. We're not competing against the people, but
people who shouldn't be voting. We speak as a voice together.
That's how it should be.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I am so confused as to why they keep using
these statements that are not even close to accurate, not
even close.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Because people believe it.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
That's the saddest part, right, that people do see that.
And I mean, Josephine says to me this morning, Dad,
are they really trying to take Social Security away? I go, no, honey,
my mom's sitting there right and I go, no, no, Josephine,
listen to what you're saying. I go, this is silly.
And then I start explaining everything to her. I go
(16:17):
and she's like, why are they so they're so off
on Elon? I go there, they're more focused on getting
mad at the guy who's uncovering all this nonsense, this
shenanigans that's happening, and the people are focused on they
want to blow up. I said, you know the fact
that they're going at him so hard that means he's right.
That's what. That's how you need to quantify this moving
(16:39):
through your life. Typically in those situations. Look how hard
they went after this president and America was a referendum.
They voted and said, no, he is not guilty of
all these things that you keep saying about him. Think
about how hard they tried to shut him down. We
kept saying that during the election process, saying when he's running,
we're going, man, this this is for me one hundred
(17:02):
percent tells me that this is the right guy for
the job. And same with Elon. You know, the whole
thing going on with him right now. But yeah, she said,
you know, I said, Josie, please you gotta stop reading.
It's fine if you read that, and please keep asking
me if you if you have a doubt in your mind.
But I said, social Security is not going away. Please,
(17:23):
you gotta you really need to dig. Don't just read
a headline or TikTok.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
If those can stop us from spending two hundred billion
dollars for four and eight for a country that doesn't
need it, doesn't like us, and would likes to have
us all dead, that their social security could have a surplus.
We're saving money by getting rid of all the stupid stuff,
so you don't have to worry about the non stupid stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Imagine they stopped paying three hundred year olds. How much
did they find there? I I uh
I swear when I looked up at the TV, the
sun was shining inside Great American Ballpark. Okay, there it
is again. It's going in and out. Uh. Watching footage

is by definition, but no, it's not April fools. They
really are having a home opener and they're going to
battle the Saint Paul Saints. It's really cool the way
(06:22):
on the one side down the third base side, if
you sit on that side, that's where the bullpen is,
and you can you can be right there on top
of whoever's warming up the pictures and stuff. And man,
the crack when they're makes a different sound.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
It's almost as if the it's acoustically created for that
specific frequency or something. Because you look like it. Well,
I mean great at the Riverfront was the same way
you That crack was so distinguishable in all the crowd
noise didn't matter. You always heard it.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah, man, it's it's something else to see them throw
and you're on top of them like that, and it
just makes a different sound when it hits the glove.
It just makes a year. You go, I've never been
able to create that when I throw it. Oh it's
because I can't throw ninety four miles an hour. There's that.
So yeah, it's a diamond dog night on the first.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Do you ever catch a ball?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Never have?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Really never have.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I worked with a guy, Mark the Shark for a
million years who caught one. He's an Indians fan in
Cleveland and he was on Sports Center.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
He was like on a like on the goodness. Yeah, yeah,
I think I told you. We went down to Riverfront
one of his contests when I was selling cars in
our place when the sales contest that month, So the
boss sent us all down there, got us a little
tour bus thing and gave us a credit cards and
have dinner, have drinks, enjoy yourself. And we abused it.
But still, wow, Yeah, I went to Montgomery in before
(07:48):
the game and just went nuts. But my buddy Roger,
who had a few drinks, were in right field and Rogers, yeah,
you know what, fuck funny, I'm good catch a ha loah,
hot on and he took his head off and held
it up. I'll be damned.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
He like caught it on cue just right.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
It was the most amazing thing. Doug Henning should have
been involved. It was magical.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I wish that you had video of that or somebody
would have been rolling tape because that would have been
viral instantly.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah, there was like nine of us that went on
his and we're all just looking at could he possibly
do that?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
That's hilarious. Let's go to the Legacy Retirement Group dot
com phone lines.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Hey, ed, Hey, what's happening?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Hey? Brother? I saw haul of notes there at h
at the Coipper Stadium.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
But it was not after a game.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
What was was it Huntington Park or are you talking
about the old Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Okay, yeah, something good park?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah, oh okay, I.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Saw I saw rush at the old stadium.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Okay, yeah, wow, we're going way back there. But yeah,
I didn't know. I didn't know they did concerts there.
If they did they don't do a lot of them,
I don't think so. Yeah. Yeah, how long ago was
that Hall of Oates had to be after two thousand
and nine?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I was dating my wife, so that was before sixteen.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Uh, wife's gone. Now well wait a minute. They Huntington
Park didn't. It didn't even open until two thousand. Wait
a minute. According to this opened in two thousand and nine.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
So then it was while I was dating her, So
it was, and it was before sixteen.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Twenty sixteen. Okay, all right, yeah, I got you now,
all right, that makes sense? Ed? Thanks? All right?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
That Hall of Oates ever even played there, to be
honest with me, either over at the old stadium at
Cooper Stadium, you remember the biggest concert they ever had, right, No,
Garth Brooks. Yeah, he came in, did a show, sold
out so quickly. Okay, we'll stay in due another night.
I think he did nine or ten nights. Remember that,
because the response was just so amazing.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I do remember that. Yeah, Hall and Os was terrible.
We saw him live. Terrible.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Oh Darryl, Darryl can't hit the high notes anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Well, he was just talking the words, and yeah, it
was I was like what and tears for fears warmed up.
They were fantastic.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
They've been opening for them for a while.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Now, yeah, it was a few years ago.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
There's more than I forget tears and fears. No, no
more Hall of Oaths.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Oh yeah, that's yeah, that ship sailed proof of citizenship
absentee ballots. So what the Trump order means for Ohio elections? So, yeah,
this new directive and they're saying it could change Ohio's rules.
Here's the thing that I like, basically what the President
is eoing here is something that I feel like Secretary
(10:52):
of Lrose has basically already had in place between him
and Yost. There is it. We are buttoned up here
in Ohio. And so yeah, here's what I here's the
way they word this Ohio's rules for it could change
Ohio's rules for absentee ballot and fuel Republican efforts to
crack down on rare occurrences of non citizen voting. Well,
(11:16):
you know, they're trying to say, well, look, there aren't
many people. For instance, they say, requiring proof of US
citizenship to vote and prevent absentee ballot arrive after election
day of being counted. And then let's see where was it?
It was, Oh, it's it's illegal for non citizens in
Ohio to vote in federal of course, state or federal elections.
(11:40):
And it happens rarely. Yost indicted six people on charges
of illegal voting last year, and so I say to
my when they go it's a rare occurrence that non citizen, Well,
then why have any laws on the books if you
know it's not If there's less than five percent of
people in frack on those laws, why even have them
(12:01):
on the book.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
But you realize that says in state and federal elections.
That's some stating that here in Gintherberg in order to
pass something that things might not go askewe right.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
But this particular article, though, is just spotlighting Trump and
the executive orders and so on. But I just under
this order, people who register to vote with the National
Mail Voter Registration form must provide a US passport, Military ID,
real ID compliant driver's license, or state registration card. Applicants
(12:33):
could also submit a valid federal or state government issued
photo identification as long as it proves citizenship or they
provide documents that do so.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
That's outrageous. Why would you want citizenship? My gosh, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
States to fail that failed to enforce the rule could
lose federal election funding. Good And now they're saying, you know,
it's illegal for non citizens in Ohio, of course to
vote in state or federal elections, and it happens rarely.
And there's a law enacted in twenty twenty three that
requires the Bureau Motor Vehicles to put a non citizen
(13:09):
label on the driver's license, which I'm sure they're crowing
about that too, going that is suppression, Like why would
they have to be labeled? You know, you have to
provide who you are when you travel on a plane.
Why And I was telling you earlier. I don't want
to get all warped up again it's start like throwing stuff.
(13:32):
But I'm just like, why is it so bad that
you have to prove you are a citizen to vote?
If you what, I can't go to Canada and vote.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
If I stopped by Chucky Schumer's office right now I
wanted to talk to him, I would have to provide identification.
Oh yeah, So why on oif oif should we not
have people providing identification to make the biggest decisions we
make as a country.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, they go on, go on. Selena Stewart, CEO of
the League of Women Voters, she's now, she's going this
executive order is an assault on our republic and a
dangerous attempt to silence American voters. No, it's not. How
is it silencing them? She's saying that it could change
absentee voting. What Trump is saying is they have to
(14:16):
be in by election day, and currently election officials count
mail and ballads received up to four days after the election.
This is a state of Ohio, by the way, because
we know in some states you can I think you
can get it as much as like three weeks after,
maybe more something like that. I remember reading that when
we were talking about election voting.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Pay your electric bille that way. See a lot of
works out for you.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I mean, yeah, they're stricter on when those arrived. Credit
card payments, those are strict. You don't pay those on time,
they're going to hit you over the head and they're
going to begin to adversely affect your credit rating. But
is our credit card companies are they they're all racist
because they make you pay on.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
This is called MasterCard. That's a slavery reference. You don't understand, man,
you can't feel what I feel. I can't even say
stuff without laughing anymore looking at you what I say.
It makes it difficult for me to keep my serious
face on.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
This is a dangerous attempt to silence American voters. That
is an incorrect statement. This has nothing to do with
silencing anybody. I think one hundred percent of us agree.
We want everybody to vote, but you need to do
it legally and in a timely manner.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
This is to add volume to amher Akan voters that
it's that easy. We're not competing against the people, but
people who shouldn't be voting. We speak as a voice together.
That's how it should be.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I am so confused as to why they keep using
these statements that are not even close to accurate, not
even close.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Because people believe it.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
That's the saddest part, right, that people do see that.
And I mean, Josephine says to me this morning, Dad,
are they really trying to take Social Security away? I go, no, honey,
my mom's sitting there right and I go, no, no, Josephine,
listen to what you're saying. I go, this is silly.
And then I start explaining everything to her. I go
(16:17):
and she's like, why are they so they're so off
on Elon? I go there, they're more focused on getting
mad at the guy who's uncovering all this nonsense, this
shenanigans that's happening, and the people are focused on they
want to blow up. I said, you know the fact
that they're going at him so hard that means he's right.
That's what. That's how you need to quantify this moving
(16:39):
through your life. Typically in those situations. Look how hard
they went after this president and America was a referendum.
They voted and said, no, he is not guilty of
all these things that you keep saying about him. Think
about how hard they tried to shut him down. We
kept saying that during the election process, saying when he's running,
we're going, man, this this is for me one hundred
(17:02):
percent tells me that this is the right guy for
the job. And same with Elon. You know, the whole
thing going on with him right now. But yeah, she said,
you know, I said, Josie, please you gotta stop reading.
It's fine if you read that, and please keep asking
me if you if you have a doubt in your mind.
But I said, social Security is not going away. Please,
(17:23):
you gotta you really need to dig. Don't just read
a headline or TikTok.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
If those can stop us from spending two hundred billion
dollars for four and eight for a country that doesn't
need it, doesn't like us, and would likes to have
us all dead, that their social security could have a surplus.
We're saving money by getting rid of all the stupid stuff,
so you don't have to worry about the non stupid stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Imagine they stopped paying three hundred year olds. How much
did they find there? I I uh
