WIBC, I agree with Brian in our chat on YouTube, that Carl is killing it today. He is, he's on top of it with the sounds. I love this now. And I could. I envisioned Amber's, you know, forecast even more as I heard the things happening in our studio. The magic of radio, man. It's incredible. All right, let's play a couple things out there. The first of the two. And actually, at some point, I'm just going to preview this now because I'm thinking about it. I just mentioned Carl. I think we're going to. defend Carl, the show, and feud with Hammer of Hammer and Nigel, because he said some mean things the other day that were completely untrue. And I attack fake news all the time, but they went after Carl. We're going to go after them. We'll probably do that in about 10 minutes or so on this show at some point. But let's do this first. President Trump was saying that people are actually attacking the reflecting pool. People got arrested for, like, cutting the sealant at the bottom of the pool, which is just ridiculously stupid. They're so upset that Trump does anything that actually kind of works or in this case really worked. The reflecting pool looked amazing when it was actually blue. And so they do all kinds of things to damage it and fight it and make it worse because they hate him that much. Here's President Trump talking about this. We caught some people vandalizing our beautiful reflecting pool. We have the reflecting pool. They took a... cutter, a box cutter or something very sharp. Can you imagine what do these people come up with this? I don't know, man. And they threw a little fertilizer in the water, which is not good. Fertilizer doesn't go well with water. Clear, beautiful water. It doesn't work well. But they caught them. They actually caught them. And they've, those guys have some problems ahead of them. I love every part of this, by the way. And there is a video that shows a guy with some sort of blade. putting his hand into the reflecting pool and kind of like dunking downward to slice it. It's so stupid. This is one of the dumbest news stories that we'll talk about this year. And yet it deserves to be talked about because of how much people want anything at all to be a thing that they then disparage Trump for. In this case, the renovations of the reflecting pool have to go poorly so they can attack him on it. That is a level of desperation. To be honest, when you're trying to generate that level of criticism in these stupid places, you really, really want to tear down anything and everything that is the man that didn't win the popular vote. All right. Another thing I want to play, this is more relevant to the midterm elections. This is Harrietin on CNN, saying that, you know, a lot of Republicans in a lot of places are actually sort of thrilled to watch these far left individuals in New York and wherever.

actually start to win more elections because these people seem very beatable on a national stage, of course. At least I hope they're very beatable on a national stage. Here's a little bit of how CNN told the truth, and they often tell the truth in this specific segment where they actually do give us the simple data, even if the data doesn't help Democrats at all. I like that. I like Etton's segments often. because he's at least telling us the real thing out loud and not trying to hide it. Can we talk about Democratic Socialists? Yeah. How were they perceived? You know, I will tell you, there is a reason why Republicans nationwide are licking their chops and why there are at least some Democrats who are a little bit worried because what is true in New York City in a Democratic primary ain't necessarily true nationwide with the general electorate. I mean, just take a look here. Net favorable rating of Democrat Socialists. If you look at Democrats nationwide, look at this. Democratic Socialists on the positive. side of the ledger, plus 17 points. This includes Democratic-leaning independence. But look at all voters. A completely different world. 27 points underwater Democratic Socialists of America are in the net favorable rating. So what are we talking about? A 44 point difference here in the wrong direction when we come to Democratic Socialists of America jumping from being pretty popular among Democrats to being not popular at all among all voters. Yeah. This is the way that you lose all the independents, essentially. all of them. You alienate everyone and anyone who's not a hardcore Democrat by running people that are this extremely far left and basically just communists that are barely even hiding it, if hiding it at all anymore. So it's interesting to see and interesting to talk about some of the net disapproval ratings on a national scale. Because yes, if something does work in a primary in New York City, the odds of it actually working on a national stage, very different. And yet we hope the Democrats are dumb enough to think that they're on to something here. And there are other Democrats that have been calling for more adopting of Democratic socialist types of attitudes and campaigning styles. And we'll see. We'll see how that goes. Good luck to you. I feel like that's a bold strategy cotton is the right thing to say here. Quick break. A lot more. Craig Susan Collins filling in. Tony Katz the Morning News, 93 WIBC. What is Toyota affordability?

Tony Katz the morning news 93 WIBC my name is Craig Susan Collins filling in thrilled to be with you it's time for our Boer popcorn moment brought to you by Boer home remodeling

Tom Homan out there defending the fact that we actually need the thing the U.S. Supreme Court decided on yesterday, which is to suspend the temporary protection status of a whole bunch of people here that are abusing the asylum process. Here's a little bit from Holman. Oh, wait, hold on. I actually got to make sure that you can hear this by hitting this. It's probably important for the popcorn moment to be able to hear it. Ron DeSantis, Ron DeSantis, also speaking. This decision that the U.S. Supreme Court is 6'3 about... They can allow, so the president has the constitutional authority to make it temporary and not permanent. It's a right call. You know, I've been doing this since 1984. TPS has never been temporary. That's why the whole statute exists. Temporarily give people protection while the country's in turmoil or after they suffer a hurricane. Bad idea. The problem is no administration. I've had the guts to actually follow that statute. President Trump has the guts to follow the law. So temporary means temporary. When the condition that country gets better, they need to go home. There are, you know, there are millions of people staying in line want to be part of the greatest nation on earth. And that goes back to my early point. People say, why arrest them if they're not criminalized under 10 years? Because they cheated the system. They may have been in 10 years. Let's remember when you enter the country, it's a crime. And they're doing that, putting themselves in front of the line while millions of people are taking their test, doing their background investigation, paying their fees and be part of the greatest nation on earth. Including my wife. My wife became a U.S. citizen through our marriage while she was still studying in college. And so, yes, absolutely 100%. This is the kind of thing that matters to a whole lot of people. And I love the way Holman says. It's simply the right decision. All right, I want to do something else. And I was trying to find the audio. I can't find it right now. Maybe we'll find it later. But I heard through the grapevine and then even someone who commented on our YouTube page that Hammer of the Hammer and Nigel show was taking shots at Carl's showbiz on the show yesterday. So I want... Fantastic, Carl. So I want to immediately put it out there. I know that Matt might be in an awkward situation. He appears on both this show and that show. But we are now officially feuding. Us and Hammer and Nigel, at least myself and Hammer and Nigel, we're feuding because they blame Carl for something. He didn't do. The camera broke in the studio. Yeah, go ahead. Okay. Matt was there. Matt, I don't know what you want to say about this. I know you've got to be careful because you're on both shows. It was totally Carl's fault. Yeah. He broke the whole damn thing. He's breaking everything. Yeah, he threw a trash can at me yesterday. Oh, okay. He just went really wild and crazy. I see his camera working right now. It seems fine in this moment. I'm showing the camera because the issue was is that the zoom was too tight on the producers. And as you can see, it's tight on me. Yeah. So I didn't break it. I don't know how to control the zoom of this little camera. Yeah, you didn't do anything is what you said. You even submitted a ticket. I submitted a ticket. Right. And they responded like, hey, it's our bad. But all of a sudden, Hammer is trashing me. So get this. My family listens to Hammer and Nigel when they leave work. So they start texting us. Hey, Hammer's trashing you. Why?

Yeah, why? This is crazy. This is insane. I think we need an apology. I think Hammer also should serve a one game suspension for this sort of thing. Find $1,000. Pay $1,000 to Carl's charity of choice. We'll go ahead and do it that way. But no, I mean, stuff breaks. Technology stuff breaks sometimes. And it's not anybody's fault because the technology is a mind of its own. And Carl did everything he could. He submitted the ticket and Hammer went out there to attack him. So we are now officially feuding. with the show, WWE style. I want somebody to do some sort of, you know, heal speech of some kind. I would like that to happen. I'm not back. This is the best way to do this fight, by the way. You're down there. We're up here. Both me and Matt have to deal with the style. Well, and the other thing that's great about this is Tony's back on Monday, so I can announce the fight and then I'm totally gone. I'm in the ether immediately. And you guys have to deal with the ramifications of this. But come on, man. I just, I heard about this and I thought that we had to announce that the fight was on. So bring it, Hammer, and Nigel. Carl is here to defend his honor. Do we really think, Carl, do you really think you were being attacked there? I mean, is that, is how you feel like somebody was really? When you hear it third hand, it sounded pretty vicious. Oh, okay. Carl, Carl, don't back down. Let's, let's make this as big as we can. This is WWE style, remember? I can't fight Hammer. I like the guy. No, no, no. But your honor was disparaged. He said everything horrible that he possibly could. We got to ramp up, not ramp down. I want someone to do a people's elbow at some point. I really want to see that. I will say this. When Carl comes up on the YouTube chat, which you can find by going to YouTube, of course. The face is just right there, man. You know, it's right there. It is. Well, yeah, but the cameras are weird. I know how the program works that you guys are using. And I know that the cameras sometimes, like, zoom in and then you got to change. And there's a bunch of like secret buttons that I can tell you about. Yeah, there are. There's some secret ones that allow you to like shrink and change the size of a thing. And if you don't know how those work, you're screwed. The minute that you're trying to adjust it. And Carl said, and many of the producers probably there, don't know how that's. I do know how it works. But again, I live here in Houston. So I probably can't help at all. Fantastic. This is great. I love this whole segment, man. I just wanted to live out there for just a second. We are officially, I love The Hammer and Nigel show, by the way. I think they're great. I think they're awesome. We are feuding with them. We are fighting with them because they took a shot at our producer. How dare they? And honestly, in all honesty, I think that Allison probably should have helped defend, too, because she used to work in this gig. I remember Allison being a producer here when I first started and working with us. So Allison, come on. You can side with us still. It's okay. There's more people in this tree. Am I alone now? Is anyone else going to talk or is it just? I was going to say, Allison, just like Carl, I mean, they have their own individual shows to worry about, you know. I understand Allison not jumping in there and being like, oh, no, it's not Carl's fault. I mean, she's managing five different things. As Carl shouldn't stick up for Allison. I mean, Carl has to deal with Tony. And same thing, Allison has to deal with him or Nigel. So I get that, you know. I don't know. No, go ahead. I was just going to say they're on a different pay scale and everything else, you know. I know, I know. But I remember Allison Fondley from the time that she used to work in this show, too. So I'm expecting great things of her. I'm expecting very great things. So yes, I'm putting all the gauntlet out. And then my favorite part is I'm not back again. I think I am filling in a nine to noon next Wednesday. And I probably won't mention this at all. It's not going to come up a little bit. But it is here. And we are defending our honor as much as we can. I was a producer for a long time.

in Chicago and other places in radio. And I remember when you would hear a segment where someone would take a shot at you. Actually, you know what, I'll say this on the air. And I shouldn't, but I don't care. There's a very famous guy who for a very long time, I worked in Chicago radio. His name is Milt Rosenberg. He did a late night, very cerebral, very, you know, intelligent show, really, really smart, great dude. And I would produce for him just one day a week on Sunday night for the show that he did there. And one day I came in and the other producer who worked during the week who booked all the guests did not tell me we had a guest booked. And his show always had a guest book. So I came in and Milt looked at me and he goes, hey, who's our guest for tonight? And I looked at him and I said I didn't know. And Milt Rosenberg looked me in the face as a 20-something producer guy and told me to go bleep myself and then walked out of the room. It was, it was amazing. It was one of the most incredible things that happened to me in my life because I'm like, I didn't even know you spoke like, sir. And he just walked out. And I was like, all right, I'm going to take this one on the chin. That's the producer job. You take stuff on the chin. You shouldn't take on the chin. Yeah, we're the front line. Yes, all the time on the front line. And I, to this day, will favorably remember the moment that Milt Rosenberg told me to go bleat myself because of another producer named Trey, who screwed me. Wasn't my fault at all. But all right. Now this just became a cathartic thing for me. Thank you guys, both for listening. This is a fun topic. You want to do traffic to get us out of this? Sure, why not? I'm here. We're feuding with Hammer and Nigel. Sorry, go. What is Toyota affordability? It's buying smart.

Toyota, let's go places. Tony Katz, the morning news. 93 WIBC. My name is Craig Susan Collins filling in. Matt and Carl hanging out as they do every single morning on this show and thrilled that I started a feud with Hammer and Nigel. I think that everybody in the whole group is equally thrilled. I'm being sarcastic as I say so much of this. All right. It's time for a marketplace segment. Marketplace brought to you by Indiana Unclaimed. We've all made money off Indiana Unclaimed. You can too. Go to the website. Put in your name and see who in Indiana owes you cash. I love the thing that I found today. Because it's a ray gun, which I thought wasn't a real thing. A ray gun torch. So it's like a lighter that looks like a science fiction gun. It costs $30. It's oddly colored. It's got like pink and other colors on it. I think it's supposed to be $50 on whatever website the guy bought it off of. But now he doesn't want it. So he's selling it for $30. Thicket, space out ray gun torch is what the thing is called. Do we have any interest in this? Yes, we do.

This is awesome. It's a, it's a futuristic gun. It is. Hey, you know, like your candles or you, you know how cool would be to smoke and light a cigarette with this gun? Sure. Yeah, everybody would look at you, be like, hey, that guy is cool, you know. Yes. That's exactly. Your eyebrows. Yeah. Oh, yeah, whatever, you know. I think you have a question. It seems like it's much larger than like the size of your hand. So how would you store it to then pull it out to light a cigarette? Like would this be something you'd have like a holster on this? Because everybody thinks the holster's cool. Just tuck it in your pants in the front. That's all you do. And then grab it by the trigger whenever you pull it out and then boom. Nothing bad will happen at all there. I like that he posted that it was typically 50 bucks if you buy it new, but you can get this one for $30, which is used and who knows what's happened in the time. I think it's intended for women just based on the fact that it has pink on it. Yeah, there's a lot of weird colors there. I would not pick all these colors if I was getting my own ray gun, is what I would say. But yeah, $30 if you want to buy it from a guy named Josh, who I'll just throw this out there and I didn't like do this on purpose. I think the guy is trying to model. in the photo of himself that he put in social media, which makes it a little stranger. I don't know if Josh is the kind of guy I'd like to meet in an alley or not, just based on the way that he's putting up his social media photo. I can't find that picture. I am. Okay. I'm very disappointed. It's down in the corner. He's like doing a mirror selfie and he's like leaning in. It's odd. Oh, there it is. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Hey, you know, yeah, I'll hang out with this guy. He looks cool. It's all there is, too. He's got a ray gun. He's obviously very cool. He could procure a ray gun. Nobody can do that. I mean, that's awesome. Yeah, who could ever do that? All right. Other things out there that I do like, I got a couple other pieces of funny audio. I'll play one. We'll take a break. We'll come back. We'll do another one. A community came together to give senior citizens a unique present. This happened in Tennessee. They created a giant slip and slide. for the senior citizens to use that live in a community center together. Caregivers, firefighters, college athletes all came together and volunteered. And the seniors loved it. There's two things about a slip and slide that I'll say. One, you remember it fondly as a kid, and you also remember some kid who got horribly injured on one of these things, especially because of like a rock or something in the way. But there's a little bit of audio that I'll play of the volunteers talking about how great it is. I am glad no one got hurt. because that is the byproduct sometimes of slip and slide we created this giant slip and slide we're going for a great ride as fast as we can the murphy's where our fire department comes out and they hose it down and they help to assist the seniors on and off the tubes and looking forward to it this is crazy it's fun and then they get to ride down on the tubes like a like they get to be a kid again We call it the ride and slide. That lady was pretty happy who's in that news thing. The one yelling at the end there. Let's play that again. Let's see. You get to be a kid again.

I do like her. I will say that it's kind of a weird image to see a fire truck hosing down a slip and slide and shoving senior citizens down it. Like that's a weird image to see even if everybody's having fun. I can't think of a better idea than pushing seniors down a slip and slide. You know, after that they tried to take them to the zipper at the county fair. And then they took them bungee jumping and pushed them out of a plane to go skydiving. So this is all great for the senior citizen. Yeah, it's so fun for them. We were so happy about it. That's the noise you make when there's a reserve shoot doesn't open, you know. You're just plunging down. I'm happy for them. I think it's cool. You know, and my heart goes to the people that go and volunteer at senior sitter homes and hang out with them because they need that. You imagine the liability insurance on this one? I mean, senior citizens breaking a hip. Right. It had to be through the roof as far as the liability goes. You're signing something before you go down that slide. That's all I know. And the last thing I'll say, and this might lean into a little bit of the dark humor that Matt just used a second ago, is if you see a whole bunch of paramedics and firefighters driving toward a community center, you might be pretty afraid of what's going on there. And then you see them setting up a slip and slide and having fun with everybody. That's a good end outcome to the beginning part of that. story. I like this a lot. And it seems like the senior citizens did too. But again, I think risks were involved and they're lucky that they, because one rock man ruins this entire thing. Oh, they have more first responders and fear factor. You know, I mean, this is like American Indian War. They better have every volunteer fire department. They're sitting beside their slip and slide and just for precaution, you know. Absolutely. Yeah, they actually almost should have done them in tandem, just like the, you know. That would have been insane. It's really cool. I'm just, you know. No, we're all, we like it a lot. All right. Quick break, a lot more. Craig Susan Collins filling in.

Tonycats the morning news. 93 WIBC. My name is Craig Susan Collins filling in. Matt and Carl hanging out as they do every single morning on this show. I did stay up to watch the United States lose in the World Cup. I feel like it's my patriotic duty to watch the soccer matches that are happening at the World Cup this year, at least for the United States. I was annoyed by one thing, the entire game or a match or whatever you're supposed to say in the world of soccer. I'm not a huge soccer fan. I'll admit that. But I wonder what you guys think of this. They kept calling the country Turkey, Turkey. And I guess that's how you're supposed to say it. So the entire time, the two guys are like, and Turkey A is doing this and Turkey A. And I just kept relentlessly making jokes to my wife about how the next time I go to like subway sandwiches, I'm going to order Turkey A. I don't know why it made me so mad, but it just kept happening the whole game. And it really distracted me. And it says a lot about.

me and my mental problems, I think. But what do we think of this story? Well, it's also spelled T-U-R-K. IYE, which is confused me to know. And I still knew who the United States were playing last night, but I've never seen a spelt like that. Yeah, this is a recent phenomenon in the last couple of years. And it's really silly because it's the elites trying to act like they're really cool pronouncing it the way the local people pronounce it. Japan doesn't call itself Japan. It's Nihon. But you don't see like the media. calling Nahon. No, we don't. I would not understand Nihon at all. I like that you're putting that out there because you're right. Very often in the recent past, broadcasters do this, where they put on accents and stuff when they say certain things, and then they go right back to speaking normal. It's turkey, guys. We know it is turkey. Just call it Turkey. Don't do it this way. Don't spell it that way. The Republic of Turkey A. It's like when people say Tarje to me. And I get mad. I'm like, it's a target. Just go to Target. I still don't know what to call Qatar. I grew up calling Qatar. Qatar. I mean, I've heard it pronounce gutter, too. Yeah. I think Qatar is the way that they claim are supposed to say. I do this with Iran, by the way. I still say Iran, and a lot of people say Iran. Or Iran. No, I hear people go back and forth, though, man. Iran is acceptable. Iran is an acceptable way to say it. Iran is the proper pronunciation. Why, thank you, sir. Well, then in this way, I'm being snooty, even though I'm not doing it a purpose. I just always called it that. I still call Illinois-Illinois. Okay, that makes us mad. No. I don't know when in Indiana cares. No, why is there an S on the end of it? I don't know. But it makes people. Actually, you know what's funny is I live in Texas now, and I know I've mentioned that on the show before. I probably shouldn't mention as much as I do. But people call it Illinois here. And I get mad. And I'm not even originally from Illinois. I lived there for a long time. I lived in Chicago. I was born in New Jersey. But every time they do it, man, and it's so country in the way that it happens down here. It's like, y'all from Illinois. I get very upset. And I need to pump those breaks a little bit because I don't know how to do it. I also don't say y'all at all. Is y'all an Indiana thing? No. No. Okay. You guys don't do that at all, right? Don't do the y'all. Sometimes I might write it, you know, y'all. No, I don't think I've ever, no, I refuse, man. Well, I put the apostrophe in, you know, it's a real y'all. It's the real deal, man. Yeah. Yeah. And it's used for everything down here. I feel like it's their, you know, word you can put in any sentence for any scenario. It's not just referring to people. Anything can be a y'all. All right, I'll stop complaining about Texas. This seems wrong. I saw this. Let's complain about San Francisco. This seems fun. I saw a posting for an apartment in San Francisco that is 64 square feet. It is just a sink and then, yeah, it's small. A sink in a room with a door. There's no bathroom. There's a shared bathroom down the hallway. It is $750.

for the sink in a room that is 64 total square feet. It is one of several units that are available in an apartment complex that seems to be struggling to rent some of these units in a very expensive part of San Francisco. Another one that is 70 square feet is $800 just down the hallway. That one's been on the market for almost a year. Would you guys ever live in a very fancy neighborhood and, say, a San Francisco? in a 64 square foot apartment. Boy, that's a tough ass, Craig. I like the price. $750,800 is much better than what I'm doing right now and I rent. But the whole sharing the bathroom thing, that's trouble. Yeah. That is trouble in River City, brother. Oh, man, oh, man. I was looking for apartments. I may need to move here at the end of the year just because things get expensive life on life's terms, whatever, not a complaint. But one of the things I noticed that's happening right now is they'll rent an apartment with three bedrooms. except rent it for three people, like the living room is a common space. And then each bedroom is really what you're paying for. That's your private space. And sometimes you have a bathroom and sometimes you don't, which means you're sharing bathroom with complete strangers. And it's problematic. But at the same time, you're like, I use public toilets. So what's the big damn deal? I don't know it's just somebody being in that. The bathroom is so intimate, man. I mean, that's supposed to be a private spot. At least in a public toilet, there's usually an alternative in case somebody's using it. In your own place, you imagine? Like, I got to use the bathroom. Get out! Well, and also, I'll just throw this out there. I don't shower in a public toilet. So, like, there's a thing there, too, where you're showering in your place, and then other people are knocking on the door and trying to come in. That feels awkward. to me that strangers are all involved. Plus, and I don't think this would be true if I ever were to share an apartment with anyone else, my wife doesn't seem to think that when I'm in the bathroom, the door's allowed to be closed. I don't know why that is. Does this get awkward on the show? What are you doing in there? All the time, man. When she's in there, it's locked like Fort Knox. Like, I'm not allowed in, even if she's just, like, messing with her hair or something. But if I'm doing anything in the restroom, that is supposed to be a wide open door. I have learned this in my marriage. You're like a kid with parents. No closed doors in the house. Right. Yeah, I don't get it. I don't know, man. It happens all the time. She was on the phone with her mom. and came in while I was in the bathroom, and I'm like, this just seems wrong. Yeah, that's... Well, stop going in there with Daddy's Playboys and she'll quit suspecting things, you know. I mean, there's a cause and effect here. Come on. I get it. Thanks, Matt. Thanks, buddy.
