Where's The Beef

Time Text
You want to listen to a podcast?
By who?
Georgia GOP Congressman Doug Collins.
How is it?
The greatest thing I have ever heard in my whole life.
I could not believe my ears.
This house, wherever the rules are disregarded, chaos and mob rule.
It has been said today, where is bravery?
I'll tell you where bravery is found and courage is found.
It's found in this minority who has lived through the last year of nothing but rules being broken, people being put down, questions not being answered, and this majority say, be damned with anything else.
We're going to impeach and do whatever we want to do.
Why?
Because we won an election.
I guarantee you, one day you'll be back in the minority and it ain't gonna be that fun.
Hey everybody, welcome to Friday's Finest.
Glad you're here with us.
We have ominous details, a level five warning of sunspots coming.
We're going to talk about that today.
Dog pandas.
Didn't know those existed until now.
And a lot of other things that we're going to be dealing with.
And also, from my perspective, I don't care who the goat is, but we're going to talk about that here later.
Also, the most Closest Kentucky Derby in 150 years of the top three horses.
And NASCAR the next day has one of the closest races in NASCAR history.
I know my problem with NASCAR is they put those stupid engines in them that won't let anybody go fast.
That's the problem with NASCAR. Bring it back to the old days, and I'm sure Chip may agree with me.
Bring it back to the old days of North Georgia, North Carolina, running and shining.
Just whoever had the best engine won.
That's how you do this thing.
And if you want to go 240 miles an hour and crash the wall, That's your choice.
But anyway, I digress here on Friday's Finest.
So we got a lot of other things to talk about, politics and others.
James will be with us.
Chip is with us.
Right after the break, we are on it.
We're experiencing instability at every level.
Our government lacks leadership, and Bidenomics has been a disaster.
The economy is in a fragile state.
Inflation has been a consistent issue.
High interest rates have put significant pressure on the real estate market, and there have been major bank failures, and many analysts say a stock market correction is likely overdue.
We have global conflicts in Europe and the Middle East that have potential to spread, but gold has soared to record highs even among the tensions.
There are so many reasons that Americans should consider investments in gold and silver, and Legacy Precious Metals is the gold standard.
I love Legacy Precious Metals because of their zero-hassle, education-first approach.

All right.
Okay, Chip.
I mean, I really want to start this segment with you and I, especially on Friday's Finest.
At some point, I think I'm going to get James to cue up some of the best soap opera intro music that we can find.
Because Congress has become a soap opera.
And it's sad.
And...
We, after, and I made the point the other day, Chip, can you imagine when you were there, because you had, you were there with, I guess you had Speaker, you had, of course, right after Speaker Boehner came, you had, I guess, Hassert was there, and then also you had, of course, the Nancy Pelosi episode during some of the times you were there.
Could you imagine John Boehner?
spending four and a half hours with a couple of folks who had problems with him being speaker? - Chip, Chip, Chip, what the heck? - I'll tell my what the heck? - I'll tell my favorite John Boehner story and I'm sure Lynn Westmoreland who was my boss, I was chief of staff, wouldn't mind me telling the story And I know he wouldn't mind because I heard him tell it several times.
So, you know, the House Intel Committee is a select committee, as you know, Doug.
And what that means is the leader and the speaker get to determine, you know, who the, and not the steering committee, get to determine who serves on that committee.
And Lynn wanted to make a run at getting on the committee, and it had a couple open slots.
And so, you know, he wanted me to set up a call over to the speaker's office and set up some time for him to go in and meet with the speaker and kind of make his case and let his, you know, let his desire for the seat known.
And so...
We went in Boehner's office and it was Boehner.
I forgot who was staffing him at the time.
Probably it was not his chief of staff at the time.
It was somebody who was handling a lot of the committee work.
And Boehner sits down...
What do you got?
And Lynn said, well, Mr. Speaker, I wanted to see if I could talk to you about getting on one of the two slots on Intel.
And Boehner goes, that's not going to happen.
What else you got?
The panelist said, that's about it.
And Bader said, he said, two years from now, we'll look at you.
It's not going to work this time.
It was about a three-minute meeting.
Yeah.
And so, I mean, you make my point.
He said, Mike Johnson spent four and a half hours The third in line to the presidency, the Speaker of the House, spent four and a half hours with Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massey discussing God knows what.
I mean, this is digressed now to where nothing is getting done.
The minority is the majority and it's, I mean, And the sad part of it, there's things that I wish that Mike had done.
There's things that I wish the whole Congress were done, even when I was there.
But we're getting to the point now that this is really ridiculous.
But yet, as I said the other day, and I think we talked about it before we got on, they both won and lost.
Yeah, I mean, look...
If you're Marjorie Taylor Greene, you play to your base, right?
You know that area of North Georgia.
You have the district just to the east of the district that she represents.
To an extent, they've changed it quite a bit.
They have her coming down now into Cobb County, into Metro Atlanta and Paulding.
The reality is it's Northwest Georgia, and that's a very conservative area, and you're not going to beat her in a primary.
It doesn't matter what she does.
It doesn't matter how she conducts herself or what vote she calls for or how she interacts with her colleagues or really what she does for her district.
You know, she got a good relationship with President Trump.
Even though President Trump, it looked like, was very publicly on Mike Johnson's side on this.
But it doesn't mean that he doesn't think any less of Marjorie Taylor Greene.
But, you know, look, that's how the construct is.
And I'll go back to, you know, something that Marjorie Taylor Greene said in one of her statements six weeks ago.
She said, it's just math.
And she's right.
But, you know, she says it's only math when it seems to benefit her.
But, you know, the math didn't benefit her when she called for the vote on the motion to vacate the chair.
And then there was a motion to table it.
And so the motion to table it ostensibly turned into, you know, a vote on her motion.
And...
You know, what I don't understand is this, Doug, is that math works both ways and the majority works both ways.
And so, look, I mean, not to go back and to do a post-mortem on what happened to Kevin or what happened to Jim Jordan when he became...
You know, he never became Speaker, but he became, you know, the caucus nominee for Speaker and then didn't get the votes on, you know, the floor.
I mean, the whole reason Kevin is no longer Speaker is because eight Republicans voted with 200 and...
And 212 Democrats.
And that was math.
And that's, you know, that's the way it works.
But it works the other way with Marjorie, too, is, I mean, even Hakeem Jeffries was fed up with her stuff.
Now think about that for a second.
I mean, it's, I mean, we are, you know, we're not showing, we're, as Republicans, we're really not We're not showing that we're very good at governing, and Hakeem Jeffries throws us a life raft.
And that's how bad this has gotten, Doug.
That's substantial.
Yeah, the sad part about it is, too, Chip, and philosophically, and I say this about bills that we're not getting anything from, not negotiating.
I get that with Mark.
I'm with her on those kind of things.
But you've also got to read the room.
And I think that's the problem right now.
The win for Johnson is, yes, he's still Speaker.
I was on a podcast ship the other day that we were talking about.
There was nobody on the podcast, though, that believes he'll be Speaker if the Republicans keep the majority.
And they definitely don't think he'll be the leader if they lose the majority.
I mean, you talk about just a terrible position to be in with that.
And then he lost, of course, because the Democrats, quote, saved him.
And Marjorie, the same way.
And Thomas and Gosar and the rest of them, they got people their vote.
They got their vote for...
For social media purposes and for fundraising purposes, but they lost.
They lost it in a big way.
The problem I'm seeing, Chip, and you've been in there in those halls and you've been in those meetings with leadership and meetings with other members, is I'm seeing it more and more and more.
And again, I will not name names ever, but you're just seeing more and more people who are just beginning to be just completely disassociated, disenfranchised, however you want to put it.
They just don't want to be there anymore.
And it's just bad.
Oh, look, I mean, you know, you served in Congress.
It's a different place to serve, right?
And over time, you know, in some respects, that's the nature of the beast, right?
I mean, you know, for generations and generations, different generations have different experiences.
In the halls of Congress.
But, you know, it used to be a noble profession.
It used to be a really good place to serve.
It used to be a good job.
And now, yeah, I mean, you hear more and more people that just aren't interested in going and doing that.
I don't think that serves our party very well.
I don't think that serves our country very well.
And, you know...
It is what it is.
I don't know.
There's not an easy button to get out of it, right?
I mean, it kind of is what it is, and we've got to figure out a way to work our way around it.
Yeah, look, I don't think this is the last time she calls for a motion to vacate the chair.
And the question becomes, you know, I mean...
How, you know, how many times are the Democrats and Hakeem Jeffries going to do what they did, you know, this week?
I don't know the answer to that question.
I don't know that they know the answer to the question.
I don't know that Marjorie Taylor Greene knows the answer to the question on how long or how many times she's going to call for because there's nothing that stopped her.
There's nothing stopping her, Doug, from calling that motion up every day.
Yeah, she can do it anytime she wants to.
And, you know, again, now you're getting the calls that you and I sort of laugh about and talk about.
They go, let's have retribution and everything.
It's never going to happen, okay?
It's just not right now in this.
I mean, you've got a one-vote majority.
I mean, this is just the way you look at it.
I did say this, though, because some people said they made a lot of the fact that 11 Republicans voted To not table it.
In other words, they were willing to take it up.
And I reminded a Democrat, I said, look, I said, the reason you had 11, in my opinion, on this one was is because Democrats saved them.
They knew they could, and they had no political retribution for it.
I mean, there's nothing going to be...
They're not going to be held accountable for voting for something that never happened.
But it also goes to show, Doug, that while they don't agree with Mike Johnson, I think they feel like Mike Johnson has been honest with them on where he can work with them, and he's been honest with them on where he's going to fight them.
you know that was that was always the knock on Kevin I don't know whether it was a fair knock or not but the knock on Kevin was you just couldn't trust him and again I like Kevin McCarthy I don't know that I feel like you couldn't trust him you would you would be better positioned to comment on that but you know you don't hear those criticisms of Mike Johnson right I mean
I mean, you know, and I think they, you know, Mike Johnson's a likable guy and a nice person, even if you disagree with him, whether you disagree with him on the right or whether you disagree with him as a Democrat.
I think it speaks volumes to who he is as a human being that the Dems saved him because they knew that the alternative would be a lot worse.
Well, I think they also realize that we are so broken on our side that, what was it, six weeks last time?
I mean, that we basically wasted almost six weeks of this, that it could possibly be eight to ten weeks this time.
Absolutely.
Yeah, I mean, because really we are so broken that, you know, I think there's a possibility you could have had, and I know this sounds strange, I know it's out there, but I think you could have honestly possibly had the first non-member speaker Well, certainly.
And just to get them through the end of the year, you know, kind of thing.
Speaking of which, though, someone that you and I are both very familiar with decided to And it sort of gets interesting is how long do you still call them former Republicans?
And I use that term with Joe Scarborough a great deal.
And now we get to add another CNN personality, Jeff Duncan, to that.
Jeff decided that, I guess his contract was coming up, he needed to maybe do a little bit more for CNN there, has decided he is going to endorse and has endorsed and will vote for Joe Biden.
This is a man, as Lieutenant Governor, I mean, I don't even understand how you can, I can understand him saying, I don't like Donald Trump, hate Donald Trump, I'm gonna vote for myself for president.
I don't understand voting for Joe Biden if you are pro-life, if you're not for an open border, if you're not for giving the glampers in the college campuses free tuition.
I mean, Chip, you know him well.
I know him.
What in God's name is happening here?
Doug, how much time do we have left on this podcast?
How much time do we have left on this podcast?
James, we might not get to Red Pandas today.
I mean, look, and full disclosure, so that everybody knows, I ran his race for lieutenant governor, and I was his chief of staff for a year.
And I've been in this business 30 years, and it's the biggest mistake I've ever made.
Hands down, there's not a close second.
This guy is the biggest narcissist, not only that I've ever worked with, but that I've ever seen in this business.
I want you all to think about that for a second.
Think about how many people in this business, Doug, are narcissistic.
But Jeff Duncan puts a veil around his narcissistic tendencies and narcissism.
And I was explaining this to somebody yesterday.
Keep with me.
Jeff always has to be the center of attention.
Always.
But he doesn't want to work to be the center of attention.
I've said many times, he's the dumbest smart guy I've ever met.
Number one.
But number two, he endorsed Biden because it was lazy.
It was lazy.
Now hear me out when I say that.
Because he could do the least amount of work and get the most press.
And he does have a CNN contract now, and he has an AJC contract now, Atlanta Journal Constitution, very leftist progressive newspaper in Atlanta, the daily newspaper in Atlanta.
And so, you know, that's his crowd now and his people now.
And so they worship him because, oh, we have a Republican that's willing to say something bad about other Republicans and Trump.
And so, you know, And then they have him on and on, and he's just absolute...
He's a creature, and I'm convinced he's going to get a primetime speaking slot at their convention.
And, you know, he really thinks in his head that...
Whenever Donald Trump leaves stage right, and, I mean, none of us know when that's going to be, I don't think it's any closer than 10, 12 years from now.
I mean, Donald Trump's, what, 77?
Yeah.
So, you know, maybe another 10, 12 years?
I mean, he thinks this party's going to go be back to what it was before Donald Trump decided to enter politics.
And whether you like Donald Trump or not, Donald Trump has fundamentally changed the Republican Party.
And we're not going back to where we were before Donald Trump.
You can't give a play-by-play of where we are right now.
I mean, we just talked about what's going on in the House.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, in all likelihood, would not have gotten elected to the United States House of Representatives pre-Donald Trump.
Probably not.
And it's just different.
Whether we like it or not, it's different.
But he thinks...
You know, whenever Trump goes bye-bye, people are gonna say that I was a visionary and I was right.
And it's not only is it narcissistic, but it's naive and it's not correct.
But I love it.
I personally, selfishly, I love what he's doing right now because there's no coming back from this.
No, no.
You just don't come back from something like that.
No, you're done.
And I think this is the part.
The one part before we move on, I didn't think about the primetime speaking slot.
That would, you know, You pretty much hit that one nail on the head.
Well, lots going on here in the state of Georgia, nationally, politics.
We'll catch up each and every week with Chip on this and a lot more, you know, going forward.
But that one just stood out.
I will say this, though, Chip, real quickly.
It's been a good week for the legal system, in my opinion, in the country.
Judge Cannon down in Florida is unwillingly Masking and unsealing document after document in that documents case down in Florida that's showing the FBI messed up chain of custody, lied about what was in the documents.
And Jack Smith is having to do this.
And you notice who's not picked up a word of it?
No mainstream media has picked up a word of it.
And they're not even talking And here's how I know it's real.
They're not even attacking the right.
They're not even attacking Trump on it because they know it's so bad that they're not even going to waste time on it as we go forward.
And then, of course, the Fannie Willis case gets picked up.
I got a feeling I'm hesitant, but I believe the Court of Appeals in Georgia is going to disqualify her.
I really do.
Because if you allow that kind of action to go on, Then you're basically saying prosecutors are untouchable.
So it's going to be interesting there.
But anyway, we've got lots more to talk about because we're now bringing into the fold, yes, the man.
The myth.
The legend.
The Texan by way of New Jersey.
There he is.
James is in the house.
Hey, let me just say something.
I think, I mean, I think, I know you guys don't listen to rap, but I know you're aware of the Kendrick Lamar Drake beef.
I think it's got everybody acting up because Chip just went at this Jeff Duncan fella.
Like, it was real serious.
Like, whatever he said to you while you were working with him must have been serious.
I've gone on and on, James.
That was just a small portion of it.
It felt like you had some pent-up tension there that you needed to release.
As Shaquille O'Neal and Shannon Sharpe are going at each other today, Austin Rivers and James Jones are going to each other today.
The other day, I was at the park and I was listening to one of the Kendrick songs.
I almost went down to the playground and crossed up one of the little kids that was on the playground.
I was so serious.
I was about to shove a kid off a swing set.
It was so serious out there.
How is anybody the sweet, lovable Shaq offended today?
Well, okay.
You guys know what's going on real quick?
No, I know.
Hold on.
I got you.
Don't worry.
I got you.
So, Nikola Jokic won his third MVP this week.
So, Nikola Jokic went on TNT. And Shaq said to Nikola Jokic's face for whatever reason, he said, Hey, congratulations.
I thought Shea should have won MVP. I wanted to let you know before you found out later.
But that's how I feel.
No disrespect to you.
You're great.
You're the best player in the league.
Should have been moved on.
I still think it was stupid for him to say, should have moved on.
Shannon yesterday, Shannon Sharp, one of the clickbait monsters on the internet, along with Stephen A and everyone on TNT, let's be honest.
But I love those shows anyway.
They make for good content.
Went at Shaq saying he's jealous, blah, blah, blah.
Shaq this morning had plenty of time on his plate.
This man wrote like seven paragraphs talking about how Shannon Sharp is clickbait.
He knows how he got in the business.
If you're not top ten, don't talk to me.
It was unbelievable.
So anyway, everybody's beefing with everybody.
The internet is on fire today.
Austin Rivers is getting in fights with NFL players because he said that 30 NBA players could go to the...
Play in the NFL, which neither sport can do either.
I don't care what anyone says.
They're too difficult.
One requires you to be a mental psychopath and go play football.
The other one requires way too much skill for any big man to go play.
Anyway, I'm done.
I'll move on.
Just want to put that in there and start the day.
Welcome to the show, James.
Glad to have you.
We're going to round up sports yet?
Well, I might as well, while we're taking a step in here, again, I think she's been good for what she's been doing, Kaitlin Clark and everything, but I was watching SportsCenter this morning, and the Kaitlin Clark apologist for only scoring 12 points, and oh, it's like, okay, guys, just let her play ball.
It's out of hand, isn't it?
We knew it was coming, though.
We knew it was coming.
This is the way the internet treated...
Sorry, go ahead.
No, but who is the all-world MVP-er in the WNBA who basically said when she gets to the WNBA, she's got to learn.
Diana Taurasi said she's going to have to learn how to adjust at this level.
She's dadgum right, but yet everybody crucified her for it.
She's not wrong, but Diana Taurasi went about it the wrong way.
They keep calling...
Okay, first of all, this one is a little jealousy, and I don't blame Diana Taurasi.
She has been the face of a league that hasn't really been popular for years.
And so now, all of a sudden...
If you could equate her greatness to Caitlyn's when she was coming out, if you really remember that time.
Just people didn't care, and the internet wasn't as exciting.
So I don't blame Diana Taurasi for being like, I've been doing this for like 20 years.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I get the frustration.
But Caitlin Clark is new.
She's shiny.
She's famous.
And there's a bunch of people with her, Angel Reese and Cameron Brink.
There are people that are coming with her that make things exciting.
So people are into it.
Just let it happen.
And also, SportsCenter has to stop pushing the same people for 25 straight weeks.
This is why nobody watches SportsCenter anymore.
We're listening to bad news and nonsense like that.
One of the gushing continued, I'm just so glad that we're talking about the WNBA preseason on SportsCenter.
It's like, okay, give me a break.
Yeah, we're talking about it because this woman is an angel.
If you are in the WNBA, they just expanded to a team in Toronto.
Caitlin Clark is directly responsible for that.
They're doing charter flights now?
Charter flights.
They couldn't even afford to get people breakfast, and now they're doing charter flights for the WNBA? Well, Caitlin actually said the other day she was going to have to get used to flying in commercial again.
I'm like, oh my god, what are they doing at Iowa I want to know about?
Yeah, she's paying for all that.
She probably paid for everyone's flight in Iowa.
Yeah, Chip, Chip, what do you think?
Is Auburn...
Bruce Pearl and Emily, they got those Auburn Jets in the air?
No, no.
The short answer is no.
But yeah, look, I mean, is this really any surprise that the old guard in the WNBA, and let's face it, I mean, the WNBA... Who has been very, very outspoken about their politics, about their leftist agenda.
I mean, you know, they had Vote Warnock.
The Atlanta Dream had Vote Warnock shirts on, you know, two months before the election.
I mean, you know, during all that.
And now all of a sudden, you've got a lady, a white Midwestern basketball player coming out of Iowa and Who's, you know, going to take the WNBA by storm and the old guard are like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
So she has one game.
I mean, I remember Victor Wembenyana when he played in the summer league after he got drafted.
It was crazy!
It was insane!
It was fun, though.
It was fun, but he only won two games.
Didn't he fight Britney Spears or something?
Didn't Britney Spears attack him?
Somebody did, but they shut him down after two games because it was completely out of control.
Yeah, they had to hide him.
And by the way, for the record, guys, get used to saying his name correctly, Victor Wemenyama, because he's going to be the greatest player on the planet.
How did he do this year?
I heard he won Rookie of the Year, but how did he do this?
He should have won Defensive Player of the Year.
He started out the season a little rocky because...
Rocky's the wrong word.
He's a rookie.
But what happened was something clicked.
I don't know if it was Popovich yelling at the point guards to give this giant man the basketball.
But whatever it was, he's hitting step-back threes.
He's in the paint.
People aren't taking layups because he's down there.
Not blocking shots.
They're just not taking the shots around him.
I've never seen anything like it in my life.
So prepare yourselves to be saying his name for the next 20 years because he's not going anywhere unless he gets hurt.
Okay, this leads into my next discussion.
Since we're harping on SportsCenter and these other talk shows, is this idea of who's the greatest.
The GOAT arguments.
And you hear it all the time.
And I'm just going to basically say, I don't care.
How can you compare Michael Jordan?
And it always seems to come up more in basketball than it does anywhere else.
It's always basketball.
It'll always be basketball.
Michael Jordan, LeBron James.
But again, what gets left out for me is, and this was actually brought up yesterday in one of the talk shows, I can't remember if it was Stephen Ayer or whoever, but he actually brought up, he said, well, what do you think?
I mean, why are we only looking at LeBron, Kobe, if you don't put Kobe in there, Michael Jordan, but you leave off Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, you leave off Bill Russell, you leave off Magic Johnson, you leave off Larry Bird.
I mean, what is the purpose of this besides that they've got nothing to do except for 30 minutes on a radio talk show?
Chip, you want to take this one first?
Well, I mean, it's worse than that, Doug.
I mean, you've got ESPN and ESPN2, and they've got to fill 24 hours a day, seven days a week, full of content.
And so, you know, if they don't include these discussions on who's the greatest of all time, how are they going to fill 24 hours?
Maybe we can get to see Australian Rose football again.
Yes, I'm actually okay with that.
Go nuts.
You know what's crazy?
What really bothers me about this, and I just don't understand why every time we have this conversation, it's so pointless.
You guys know who Mad Dog is, right?
Yeah.
Oh yeah, Ruscha!
Mad Dog is in love with everything from 1960 to 1985. Everything after that is almost like, I can't believe that they exist and they're a person.
But you know why?
Because that was his formative years of loving something.
My formative years are Kobe Bryant.
I didn't get to watch Mike, but I know Mike.
Personally, I think Mike's the greatest, but that's not important.
The point is that I got to watch Kobe and LeBron.
I got to watch all these guys grow up in front of my eyes, and it was incredible.
But it doesn't matter because without the people prior to them, they don't exist.
That's just the way these go.
They were talking about Bob Cousy being a plumber.
Yes, I'm sure if he played today, I would send his shot into the stands.
100%.
Okay?
The point is, though, that he was doing things that blew people's mind in 1955. That's the point.
So it was different then.
It's always going to be different.
Athletes are going to get stronger and better.
Medicine makes them...
Whatever we're doing right now, these athletes are in another stratosphere compared to anything you've ever seen in your lifetime.
It's not even...
They're not even in the same...
Like, Victor Webindiam is a great example.
He shouldn't exist.
He's 7'5".
He can shoot from anywhere.
He can dribble.
He can move.
He's lengthy.
He can do everything.
And then you have guys that are like 5'10", that can jump out of the gym.
It doesn't matter what they did prior.
What they did in their era counts for their era, and that's it, and just move on.
But we can't have that conversation, because if they do, then Stephen A won't have a job.
Is that such a bad thing?
Well, for ESPN, it would be, because he's the only thing they got left.
I mean, the only reason I want Stephen A anymore is the Dallas Cowboys stuff, so...
But I'm not even mad at Stephen A. I'm mad at ESPN. Stephen A is doing his job.
They said, Stephen A, we want to put you on 24-7.
He goes, yeah, sure, I'll make that money.
I don't blame him for that.
They did it with Shannon Sharp and everything else, too.
Make all your money.
Do whatever you can to be in the spotlight.
A good example is Kevin Hart.
Kevin Hart was the darling of America for like two years.
Everybody loved Kevin Hart.
And then we were like, if I see one more Kevin Hart video, I'm never going to support that man again.
It had nothing to do with him.
It's that you get oversaturated.
You keep pushing the same thing over and over again.
It's going to happen to Caitlin Clark.
Somebody's going to make us hate her.
I don't know if it's ESPN or whoever.
Somebody's going to make us try to hate her.
Because that's the point.
They force it down your throat until you're like, if I see another video, I'm going to quit.
I'm going to go live in the middle of nowhere and never see a video again.
That's how they do it.
I'm telling you, it's crazy.
Yeah, well, speaking of Kevin Hart, this will digest off this a little bit.
He came back in a big way this week with the Tom Brady roast.
That was a crazy choice.
Now the world is saying that, you know, you would think, listening to some of the comments, that, you know, the world is back.
Comedy is back.
You know, the music stuff is back.
We're finally through with this political...
And, folks, I will just...
Look, I'm going to warn you.
If you go to Netflix and you watch this Tom Brady Rose, it is not PG. It is not even R. This is NC18. But also, in some of the scenes, it was...
Cutting hilarious.
And some of the stuff that was...
There was one about when Nikki Glaser was making fun of Gronk.
I knew that not real money.
People were dying over Bitcoin.
They went after everybody.
I think the roasts are kind of cringy sometimes.
I really think the Comedy Central ones get really cringy.
This was not that at all.
Except when Kim Kardashian went up and the crowd booed her.
Which, by the way, Netflix has edited and she's no longer being booed.
I'm not even kidding.
Netflix edited.
But yeah, that was a...
Why did Tom Brady do that?
He must have paid a lot of money.
Somebody said he basically got to make fun of his wife for a while, and that's the whole point of it, which made me laugh, his ex-wife.
But yeah, it was hilarious.
I didn't watch it because I didn't watch the whole thing.
I got the clips from everybody, but kudos to Netflix for saying, they said we don't care about Dave Chappelle doing what he's doing.
We're going to let every comedian that is literally yelled at 24-7 on the internet come on here and do their thing.
Yeah, it was pretty good.
Chip, I mean, it goes back.
I mean, you and I are a little bit older.
We go back to the old roast that they used to do in Hollywood.
They had to keep them fairly clean, but you could under...
It was the underlying innuendo that always made the stuff funny.
The Dean Martin roast, you know, all those that they would do with...
It was Rodney Dangerfield.
Anyway, it was pretty good.
This one, I mean, some of the folks, I didn't know who they were.
You know, they were doing this, but some of them, I mean, it was like...
Wow, that was some spot on stuff.
Tony Hinchcliffe went off on those people.
Oh, Hinchcliffe killed it.
And I totally missed it.
I mean, I totally missed it when it was live.
I was just looking through Twitter going, holy cow, there's really something going on with Tom Brady.
And then, you know, so to actually watch the roasts Essentially on Twitter.
I like to do that, Doug, now with the State of the Union address and with dates.
Because I don't watch it.
I just watch Twitter go nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts.
And get an idea on what's going to be news coming out of it.
But yeah, kudos to Netflix, man.
That was really cool.
I haven't watched the entirety of it, but I went back and watched pieces of it.
And wow.
I mean, you're right, Doug.
It wasn't what I expected, right?
It wasn't your traditional race.
It was a little bit different.
Yeah, it was, again, and again, I'm not one, and Chip, you've known me for a long time, and, you know, I'm not a profanity guy.
I mean, I'm like everybody.
I'll have a few slip-ups, and I'm not, especially, but, you know, We have come so far in our country right now to where everything is offensive that that was offensive.
And to see some of this stuff coming back out and saying, look, you do you boo kind of thing, you know, just do this.
And if you don't want to watch it, I tell you who I've gotten into, and this is why I love Friday's Finest so much.
Have y'all ever heard of, and I know this sounds like a boomer talking here, so that's one of my boys would say, Matt Reif, Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Kip, have you ever seen this guy?
I haven't.
Okay.
He's gorgeous.
It's the only way to describe this guy.
He's the most handsome man I've ever seen.
Good looking dude.
He does a comedy show, but nothing of the comedy show actually makes it to like his social media.
It's always his interactions with the audience.
And, I mean, he just, I mean, if you've not, look him up on, like, Instagram, Chip, and today, you will be dying.
I mean, some of his just riffs are...
He got kicked.
They tried to cancel him too.
They did.
But he is, I mean, it's just like, you know, you have some, you've known these guys, Chip, from college days, turning days.
They can just say stuff right off the top of their tongue.
I mean, they can, you know, they take, he does such an improv, so good.
But it's good to see this comedy, in my mind, coming back.
Yeah.
You know, in a sense that we're not scared to offend everybody anymore.
And that's the problem.
I think that's the problem in Congress.
I think it's the problem in everywhere.
We're too scared to offend anybody anymore.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I love, what was it?
What's the English do?
Yeah.
I mean, everything's offensive nowadays.
I mean, if you can't, nobody has that sense of humor like they did, you know, in the old days.
It's just, it's political correctness gone amok.
Well, can I ask you guys a question real quick?
Because this is a South versus East Coast thing that I've noticed.
I don't know if I've ever brought it up on this show.
But for where we're from in Jersey, Talking to your friends, if you're not ripping on each other or making fun of each other, you don't trust each other.
And I found that since I've been in Texas that people don't really like that.
And I've not made as many friends as I should have.
Because, like, if I really, like, if I enjoy your company and want to talk to you, right?
Like, Doug, you have no problem texting me and, like, joking about, like, the Mets are terrible.
Because that's...
It's our way of being like, yeah, we're friends.
We're close.
We can talk about stuff.
We talk about everything and I feel like I've learned that here it's so different that if you offend somebody a little bit, they're going to be like, yeah, I don't think I want to be friends with you.
I'm like, what are you talking about?
That's the point.
We are friends.
That's why I made fun of you.
I don't know how it is, though.
Maybe it's a generational thing, but I know on the East Coast, that's how we all communicate.
I met one guy from Boston and Texas.
The first thing we said to each other is, you're a loser.
Like, we made fun of each other within 20 minutes of meeting each other because that's how you interact with people up there.
Well, you're now, I think, Chip, I think he's hitting the generational issue here.
It could be.
Yeah, because my generation, I mean, I got friends, we have a tech chain going on, and I mean, we rip people all the time.
I mean, it's just like, yeah, you know, Believe me, this is one text chain that, you know, it's like, you know, I really don't really care if anybody ever else sees this text chain.
You know, there better be a dadgum good warrant out for this text chain.
Yeah, yeah, you're not letting, yeah, your family's not allowed to see that text chain.
Yeah, no, like I said, because it's just one of those things you just sort of, you know, bump off each other, like, you know, you're a freaking idiot, you know, this kind of thing.
But, but generationally, I've noticed, like, with my boys a little bit, you know, They do it, but it's got to be a much tighter-knit group.
It's not what it used to be.
If you're fraternity brothers or stuff like that, then it's more acceptable.
But used to, it's sort of everybody could...
Well, one of the things that's easy in Congress, it's easy when you go talk, especially here in the Deep South, okay?
The SEC country.
The first thing you're going to rip on with somebody is their college, okay?
I mean, in my generation, you know, somebody will say, well, I'm from Tech or I'm from Florida.
You know, I went to the University of Florida.
We do it with Chan.
I mean, we talk about it with Chan.
But, I mean, I say, for me, I always use sort of the joke.
And with people, you know, they talk about Gainesville.
They say, I'm from Gainesville, Georgia.
They say, I thought that was Gainesville, Florida.
I said, no, that's where dog food's made.
And then they get the Florida, Georgia kind of thing going on.
But I mean, that's where it comes a lot.
But I think our generation, the one thing that is the truest on the internet right now is the videos about Gen X. We have been, I mean, we are the most...
Resilient generation because, you know, what was it?
Most of us, by the time we were six, were cooking.
I mean, by the time we were eight, we knew we were outside.
I mean, we had the four math before we had different math programs.
You know, that was the 60s, 70s, and 80s kids are just different in that regard.
I mean, I know my mom's going to kill me for saying this, but...
Hopefully she won't listen.
But yesterday she was on her walk.
She called me up.
And I hear her in her walk.
She starts to panic.
She goes, what is that?
What is that?
And I'm like, what?
Talk to me.
What's going on?
And she looks up and she says, there's a bear on someone's roof.
And I said, no, there isn't.
Like, I'm on the phone with her.
She's like, I swear to God, there's either a dog or a bear on the roof.
Send me a picture.
All right.
And she's like, I got to get out of here.
I'm like, you don't have to go anywhere.
Stop walking.
There isn't a bear on someone's roof.
She takes the picture and sends it to me, and it is a fake bear hugging the roof.
Like, it's not real.
It's like made of a rock or something, right?
So she sent this, and immediately the first thing I did was send it to our entire family.
And I said, let's make fun of her until we all go to Italy.
So...
Every day from now until Italy, someone is taking a shift telling her to make sure she'll watch out for bears.
That is the kind of thing we do in our family.
She texted me yesterday and she goes, you're very funny, but you're also dead.
She's like, your days are numbered.
But that's the point.
That's how we joke about it.
Everyone literally said, we're going to take a shift texting your mom.
Don't worry about it.
Years ago, Kyle, 20 years have always been a while.
I mean, a long while ago, 20, 30 years ago, we had a Pomeranian, one of the little fluffy dogs my mom and dad did at the outside.
And Muffin was her name.
Anyway, it was, and we went, we're getting ready to go to the beach and we were taking the dog and Dally to the beach or something like that.
And we went over to the pet store.
My mom, God rest her soul, she was there.
And they, she started, they asked her, are you going to the beach?
And the salesperson said, ooh, you know, you gotta be careful down at the beach.
You need to, we might need to get some of these fleece stuff over because the beach, the sand fleece, they're the worst kind of, he just, I mean, just laying his own thing.
My brother and I are sitting over there like, You know, mom is generated by this $20 flea ointment in the 80s.
And so for the rest of her life, I kid you not, there were times when we'd go, you know, we'd say something about fleas and we'd say, ooh, they're the worst kind.
And my mom, the oldest she gets, she'd just say...
You never let it go.
No, no, God, no.
By the way, speaking of Pomeranians...
You wanted to bring up something about a zoo in China?
Yeah, there's a zoo in China.
This is amazing because this is bringing us back to our roots of the Friday's Finest Show, which actually started on us discussing monkeys and animals that got out of Dallas.
What was it?
There, James, we had the peacock.
Yeah, we had a peacock in the Bronx Zoo and everything going nuts.
But Chip, here we go.
You know, we've got to bore about the loss of pandas here in the United States.
And under Joe Biden's watch, we've lost everything, including the pandas.
But now China has painted dogs.
Oh, they were passing them off as pandas at the zoo.
Oh, not only did they paint them, I mean, they did a great job at painting.
They did.
I mean, they are chow-chows, but when they're not moving, they look like baby pandas.
I mean, I saw it on the Today Show this morning on NBC, and they did a teaser before they went to break, and I looked at my wife, and I was like, What did they just say?
And they showed pictures of them.
They're cute as can be.
And they're literally chow-chow puppies.
And they painted them to look like pandas.
And they look just like baby pandas.
Until they start walking and have all the mannerisms of a dog.
Well, hey, kudos to whoever had that idea at the Hong Kong Zoo.
Because it was brilliant.
That is absolutely, like, that's what restricting Google from your country does.
They were hoping a couple people haven't seen pandas before.
So, you're like, they're not out in the wild.
They don't have Google.
They don't have books.
Let's make sure that we can get away with this.
I think they also said, hold on, I'm trying to read this.
Two panda dogs in a new season are actually chow chows dyed black and white.
Oh yeah, no.
They didn't even try.
They were like pandas.
Zoo officials...
I'm reading from the AP article.
This is not the Onion.
Zoo officials told Chinese state media that they were Chow Chows, a fluffy dog breed originally from northern China.
Painted black and white to resemble giant pandas, adding that they clearly had advertised on them as, quote, panda dogs, and the zoo did not make any false claims.
Now this is from Chinese state media, so take it forward.
Oh my God.
Whose dogs are they?
They didn't just get two dogs.
Somebody owns those dogs.
Yeah, that reminds me of the story that the old boy told one day, he said he went outside and there was a next door neighbor had one of the big poodles, the standard sized poodles, and then when they get shaved, they got all cut up and the little boy went outside and he saw the The poodle next door and he looked like a lion.
He came running back into his mom and said, mom, mama, there's a lion out there.
There's a lion out there.
It's maybe your mom there, James, but you know, there's a lion out in the front yard.
And his mama said, you know, you're not supposed to be lying.
He said, I'm not lying.
And she said, go back out there and look at it and come back in and tell me.
He said, went back out and he said, mama, it's a lion in the front yard.
She said, I've told you about lion.
We got to stop this lion.
So she, she, She gives him a whipping, sends him up to his room, and she says, I want you to go to your room, and I want you to pray to God about lying, and then when you think you're okay, you come back down and tell me.
So the kid was upset.
He goes to his room.
He prays.
About an hour later, the mom goes up to the room.
The mom looks in the room and says, Okay, have you talked to God about your issue of lying?
And the little boy said, Yes, ma'am, I have.
The mom said, well, what do you think God thinks about your lion?
And he said, well, the first time he told me, he said the first time he looked at that dog, he thought it was a lion too.
But now we have panda dogs in China.
But Chip, you and I found out something here just a little bit ago that undoubtedly it's not the Dolphins In the porpoises, however you want to call them, in the oceans that are the smartest.
It's not the whales.
It's not even the killer orcas.
It is, according to James, it is the octopus.
Not according to me.
According to Paul Rudd, who tells us during this documentary, if you haven't watched it- James, you do realize Paul Rudd is reading that, right?
No, Paul Rudd actually understands all this stuff.
I'm certain of it.
First of all, there are two things you've got to know about this documentary.
First and foremost, if you like crabs, not to eat, but if you think they're a cool animal, don't watch this.
They get murdered constantly in this documentary.
Second...
I'm serious.
Me and my brother were sitting there.
If you're a crab, this is the worst documentary in the world.
Secondly, they are aliens.
They understand everything.
It's a three-part documentary.
They use tools.
They communicate with people.
They trust people, apparently.
They can change every color known to man, and it's incredible.
They can kill...
If they could get on land, we'd all be dead, is my point.
But they're in the ocean, they can't hurt us unless we go down there.
Yeah, that's that little problem with evolution there, Darwin.
Let's not even get into that conversation.
One generation is not going to grow lungs.
There's a problem there.
And the thing that's really fascinating, they had two people.
They had an expert who was literally a scientist.
And then they had some person, they were like, we can't credit her as a scientist because she just, in her free time, goes and visits You're like, why are you in this documentary?
She's not even a scientist.
It didn't matter.
She was incredible.
She probably paid for it.
She was also insane.
Like, I think she loved the octopus a little too much.
But anyway, point is, if you get the opportunity, watch it.
It's on Disney+.
I don't know what else it's on.
It's only three parts.
It's 40 minutes a piece.
You will never look at octopus the same way.
And we were just complaining about ESPN having to talk about the goats on 24-hour news cycles.
Let's talk about it.
The goats of the ocean.
The octopus is number one.
Everything else goes down now.
Everything else.
It's like Billy Bice is a fisherman in the St. Simons area, Doug, and if you go on TripAdvisor and you go down to the St. Simons, Jekyll Island area of Georgia, you'll see that he's the number one fisherman there.
He's a kid's fisherman, but now that our kids have grown up, we still love going fishing with them.
In the summertime, the sharks were biting down there, and you catch some big sharks.
And, you know, he always, you know, he's been doing it for 20 years, 15 years, kind of been retired 15 years, getting up in age now, but loves fishing, loves fishing.
Ever since the, you know, and I mean, sharks come in, they're big, right?
I mean, sometimes they're tough to reel in.
He says, I've never been bitten by a shark.
I said, Billy, how can that be?
You got him.
He said, well, I've got an agreement with them.
I've got an agreement with them.
And I don't eat them, and they don't eat me.
And for 15 years, they've held up to their end of the bargain, and so have I. And so, you know, I'm going to have the same agreement next time I see an octopus.
Don't.
They'll kill you and they'll take you with them.
Don't trust them.
They're aliens.
Well, considering now, Chip, that James has determined that octopus are alien, and by the way, more than one octopus is octopi.
No, no.
Turns out it's octopuses, according to Paul Rudd.
Those are the rules now.
Whether we've changed it or not, those are the rules.
They said it.
Yeah, now you're just into James Bond movies, but okay.
But we did a couple of quick things to sort of wrap ourselves up today, but one of them goes into this alien terminology.
Did y'all catch that we're under a class four solar thermal warning for this weekend?
Starting late Friday, this is actually an article, actually a thing.
Hang on a second, pulling it up here.
Do I have to wear sunscreen?
Is that what they're telling you?
No, it's severe solar storm threatens power grids and navigation systems.
It says storms to trigger blackouts, disrupt navigation systems and knock out high frequency radios around the world.
This is a G4 geomagnetic storm watch.
It's second highest on a five-step scale as multiple waves of solar energy bear down on the planet.
It's starting to start late Friday, persist through Sunday.
The last time we were hit by a G5, the biggest, was October of 2003, causing power outages in Sweden and damaging transformers in South Africa.
I love how they say this.
The storm's true power will be known about 60 to 90 minutes before it hits Earth as satellites measure the burst of inbound energy.
Large parts of Asia, Europe, North America will be able to see an aurora, often called the Northern Lights, overnight where the skies are dark and clear enough.
They're gonna actually, and here's an interesting one, they're actually rerouting, likely to reroute transpolar flights between Europe, Asia, and North America because of this.
I've seen this movie.
It stars Gerard Butler.
This does not end well for us.
I've seen this movie.
All right?
You better make sure you got all your medication.
The government's going to take everything you got.
Make sure you got your medication, some food, get in a bunker.
Come out a couple months later, you might end up in a geostorm and you might die.
So I've seen this movie.
Find Gerard Butler and you should be safe.
Seriously, it's a good movie.
It's on HBO. You should be safe.
Okay, I guess that came from the alien octopus movie here, but okay, we'll get this.
So just everybody get your ten full hats out for the weekend.
This is probably actually a good time for them, it looks like.
This is just big sunscreen trying to get people to wear it.
It's a geostorm, whatever it means.
They said something about sunspots.
No, no, no, no.
Don't listen to them.
That is it.
That is it.
Well, we got to finish up on the...
Chip and y'all did a great job last week breaking up the Kentucky Derby.
For you horse enthusiasts out there, Chip, I have to tell you, Jane sort of summed up y'all's discussion into the Kentucky Derby last week.
Like, I had a master's degree in horses.
I didn't even know this existed.
I got lost.
It was the most compelling thing I've ever heard.
No one's ever talked about horses the way you two do.
Yeah.
It was incredible.
Okay, for all of you know, the Kentucky Derby came down to the closest finish between three horses.
There's still supposedly controversy now about one bumped into the other kind of thing.
But my question is, in this, Chip, in this brief discussion of this, is what happened to...
The favorite.
Did it get what happened in the other races?
Did it just decide not to show up?
Yeah, so Fierceness was the favorite and Fierceness finished 15th.
And, you know, Fierceness is one of those horses where if Fierceness fires, he's going to win by 8 to 10 lengths.
If fierceness doesn't fire, he's going to be back in the middle of the pack or the back of the pack.
And, you know, I mean, this is racing amongst animals.
And you just never know when a horse doesn't want to run today.
And, I mean, fierceness had a good break.
I mean, this is the, you know, Fierceness had run five times before the Derby and won three of the races.
The three races that he had won, he won going away.
But the two races he didn't win, he kind of acted up in the gate.
Well, now all of a sudden, Fierceness has a sixth race under his belt.
He didn't act up into the gate.
He got a good break.
He doesn't like spray, and spray is the dirt that comes into the horse's face when horses ahead of them are running on the track.
And so Fierceness got a good break.
He behaved well in the gate.
He didn't get any spray.
He just ran out of gas at about the three-quarter mile pole.
And he's just like, I'm not racing anymore.
I'm a horse.
I do what I want.
I'm not racing anymore.
And so what can you do?
If the horse doesn't want to run, the horse isn't going to run.
And so by the time they made the final turn into the stretch, Fierceness decided, I'm done running fast today.
I'm done.
I ran until I wanted to, and then I stopped.
That's right.
Yeah, that's the way it works.
Okay, what was the name of the one that won it?
Mystic Dan won.
Has Mystic Dan got a chance at the Triple Crown?
No, because, look, there's a reason the Triple Crown has very rarely happened, and that is...
Horses really need four weeks between races.
Even at this age, you can run a horse on a two weeks rest, but very rarely does it go well.
And the problem is, we won three Triple Crown races in five weeks.
So there's a Kentucky Derby, two weeks later there's the Preakness Stakes, and three weeks later there's the Belmont Stakes.
And so, you know, look, it looks like there's only going to be one horse from the Kentucky Derby entered into the Preakness, maybe two.
And, you know, Kenny McPeak, who's the trainer of Mystic Dan, doesn't even want to run the horse in the Preakness.
Doesn't even want to try for the Triple Crown.
Do they get an automatic bid if they win the Kentucky Derby?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
You win the Kentucky Derby.
It's always at the Masters.
You get in any race you want.
You know, they'd love to have you.
But, you know, it's a two-week rest.
So, no, Mystic Den's not going to win in all likelihood.
Ironically, I've got a piece of a horse by the name of Seize the Gray who ran in the Pat Day Mile the day of the Kentucky Derby and won the race.
How much did you make?
Yeah, he's looking to put that horse into Preakness, which I don't necessarily agree with because it is only two weeks rest, but people don't realize that horses can only run as triple crown runners when they're three years old.
You can't run when you're two.
You can't run when you're four, five, or six.
You can only run three, so you're only eligible to run the race once.
That is.
Yeah, so I think he's looking at giving the owners an experience, which is great, but I don't expect big things from...
Why does that rule exist?
What's with the three-year-old rule?
You know, it's always been that way.
It's a Triple Crown, the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes are, since the beginning of time, have always been a race for three-year-olds.
And it's largely because, well, I mean, a variety of factors we don't have time to get into, but, you know, horses generally peak In their racing age, kind of midway through their three-year-old, right?
That's when they're the fastest.
So I need to know.
So if your horse, this horse that won the mile run, the Pat mile, if he was, or if that horse was to place one, two, or three, if he won a course, definitely, but it placed at the Preakness, his stud value just shot up immensely.
Completely.
And ultimately, at this point in time, the horse really needs to win two big graded, what we call graded stakes races.
And so the Pad Day Mile was one.
And so look, I don't anticipate that Seize the Gray is going to win the Preakness Stakes.
But there's going to be two or three very large graded stakes races in Saratoga.
Later in the year.
And then there's the Breeders' Cup at the end of the year at Del Mar in San Diego.
And if Cease the Grey can win one of those two races, then Cease the Grey immediately retires and breeds for the next 15 to 18 years.
To be a horse that wins the big races.
Oh my God.
We should all be so lucky.
You have no worries after that.
They are lucky.
They live a really good life for the remainder of their life.
Unbelievable.
And here I am working on a Friday.
You gotta love it.
Well, we got a lot going on.
We've hit pretty much the realm of everything on the Friday's Finest Show today.
A lot going on coming up, but let's go around and get one last takeaway from everybody.
Chip, we'll start with you.
Take away.
Oh, wow.
I just hope Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't have another motion to vacate the chair this week and we have to go through what we went through last week.
But, you know, look, it gives us fodder and it gives us material for Friday's finest.
And so, you know, we'll see if she takes a week off in those endeavors.
There we go.
James?
Just two quick things.
First of all, if you're not watching the NBA playoffs or the NHL playoffs, they're super exciting right now.
Number two, we didn't get to mention this, and Doug, I'm just going to take a jab at you.
The Raiders apparently flipped a coin for their draft pick, and that's the most Raiders thing I've ever heard.
It's hilarious.
Enjoy Brock Bowers.
Is it Brock Bowers?
Yeah, Brock Bowers is going to fall on the ball.
Congratulations.
Pretty daggum good, you know, flip of the coin to get Brock Bowers, I'll have to say, but also when you have the Atlanta Falcons, which leads into my short take of the last take of the day, when you have the Atlanta Falcons screw up the entire draft, you know, that sort of leads you to a flip Coin toss with the Raiders.
But I have now figured out, Chip, you'll appreciate this.
I think you've probably seen it.
James, you may not have, but I'm going to announce it here on the Friday's Finest.
I now understand it has become crystal clear to me, the Atlanta's draft problem, not just this year, but even years past, but especially this year.
I have now confirmed.
I have now understand it.
I'm not trying to scratch my head and wonder why we're doing the stupid things that we do.
Because now it came out this week that Arthur Blank is going to have a fundraiser for Joe Biden when Joe Biden comes down and speaks at Morehouse.
I rest my case.
There's your problem right there.
I didn't know Joe Biden was a big Home Depot guy.
Yeah, me either.
But, you know, I guess they got to have Bernie on one side and Arthur on the other.
But, Chip, doesn't it give you some insight into the draft now?
Of course.
Absolutely.
I just want that photo of Biden getting off Air Force One when he comes to Atlanta for that event.
And at the bottom of the stairs is Raphael Warnock, Lucy McBath, Arthur Blank, and Jeff Duncan greeting him.
And Michael Pennant, Jr., One last Jeff Duncan stab.
That's the way to have it here.
Folks, that's Friday's Finest here on the Doug Collins Podcast.
