Good morning, Birmingham. It is a Monday, Monday, Monday, Monday, Monday. Wow, it is the 20, I'm sorry, the 18th of November. I was trying to move the month along a little faster than really. We need to slow it down. It's flying. It is the 18th of November of 2024. And we have got today a high of 76 degrees. Enjoy it. This is the last time you're going to see the 70s in a while.
Yeah. Maybe. 76 today, tomorrow 69.
with a 100% certainty of rain. It's gonna rain. As much as two inches in our neighborhood, huh? We need it. Come on, just get ready for it, folks. All right, bring it on. 66 on Wednesday, 56 on Thursday, 58 on Friday. So the temps really plummet there around Thursday. We're gonna have a real dive bomber as the cold front moves through. But there is no rain after tomorrow. We don't see any rain again until
Well, maybe Thanksgiving. Maybe. That's about as close as we come. Yeah, and I like the cooler temperatures. I don't, you know, I don't want an 80 degree Thanksgiving. I like it cooler. It should be cooler. I agree. And it gives you a chance to, for that this brief period, break out your, your,
you know, nice cold weather clothing. Here, yes. Yeah, you can look kind of, hey, a little jacket, a little fashion, a little something. I paid good money for this. I get to wear it for two months out of the year. That's right. So you should enjoy it while we can. And then I expect, well, I actually probably warm up again in the beginning part of December, because that seems to be what happens every year. Yeah, we shall see. And then we don't see cold really cold again until Christmas or short. Yeah, the big question, everybody's dying to know, did you get some Christmas trees down?
Every single bit of Christmas is out of the attic and in the house proper now. Every single bit. Wow. I've found two Christmas trees that I need to replace because they are old. One of them is the second oldest tree that I own and it not one. You're gonna have a little burial for it. No, I'm gonna unceremoniously take it to the dump. I'm gonna, Jim, I'm not even gonna slow the car down. I'm just gonna actually just throw it, open the door, throw, it's like a mob hit. Just boom, out it goes. Yeah, it's um,
It's at one of those prelet trees and not one single light on it works. Yep. Well, you know, you can go in and you can change just find the bulb. No, I don't. Yeah, I'm with you. I've had this thing for 14 years. Yeah, it's time. 13 or 14 years. Yeah, it's it's going to go now. So we'll get rid of that and we'll get rid of one other that is mostly gone.
and replace those with unlit trees. This is my thing now. I no longer buy pre-lit trees because they do tend to go south on you. And then I'm going to go ahead and, you know, I'll dress them up the way I want. Nice. I did a little Christmas-y stuff over the way and I got some baking done. I got some. We had a band practice yesterday for the
Christmas party gig that we're playing. So yeah, a lot of Christmas at the Dixon House, well in advance of even Thanksgiving, which I'm not really a big fan of, but hey, time waits for no man. Yeah, time marches on. You got to get it done. Very good. Places to go, people to see things to do. Speaking of trees, Alabama tree pros can take that one out of your yard before the winter months come. That thing dies on you completely, falls on your house, does immense amounts of damage. Suddenly you've gotten major insurance companies involved in
You don't need to play that, Kim. How about you call Alabama tree pros? You get them to come out, take that tree down for you, or at least trim it up before the bad stuff happens. 3084158, they can also give you a bit of a prognostication on some of your other trees. If you, like me, have got trees all over your piece of property, large or small, they could say, yeah, this one is good. That's going to last you 12 years. This one's going to go two years from now. You need to do something about that pretty quickly.
You know, they are very, very good at what they do, because they've been doing it for a really long time. Alabama tree pros, they'll take the tree down, they'll grind the stump, they'll trim the tree. If the tree's already down, they'll chop it up and take it away. Whatever it is you want, it's like they were never there. I love them. You will too. Find them online at alabamatreepros.com 3084158. Let's dive into this. And now it's Dixon and Vining's top three things you need to know today.
Well, they decided to work on a Sunday and President Joe Biden has now authorized Ukraine to use U.S. supplied missiles to strike deeper inside Russia, easing limitations on the long-range weapons as Russia deploys thousands of North Korean troops to reinforce its war. So this is, you know, escalation, basically. Oh, you're going to send in North Korean troops?
How about we just start using missiles to hit inside your country? And back and forth, this thing goes. Some of this is certainly the Trump effect. Biden is like, well, he wants to end this war. I'm going to escalate it. I'm going to ask you to hit the war. That's what I mean. Yeah, it's not a joke. I'm not joking.
This is his plan and I look at it and say no good can come of this No, you know, you want to be able to support Ukraine in this effort and you know, there is some worry that North Korean soldiers are there to assist Russia, but at the same time, right Donald Trump taking over on January 20th. What are you doing here, Joe Biden?
We don't need an escalation. We don't need this war to begin to explode because Donald Trump is trying to tamper it down and end it. That is the goal is to try to end us. Otherwise, more money keeps getting poured into Ukraine. We keep dumping huge amounts of money in there. And yeah, okay. Zelensky, by the way, says strikes are not made with words. Such things are not announced. The missiles will speak for themselves. When reached for comment, the missiles said,
Is that how it went? Yeah. I think it was a little louder now. Is that a quote? I can't do it much louder than that. That's all I got.
It really is ridiculous. And yet it does seem to be an attempt to force Donald Trump's hand and keep this thing going. And the longer you look at it and the longer you look at the billions of dollars that have been thrown in, you can't help but begin to think, I'm not so sure this is about territory. I'm not so sure that this is about Ukraine. I'm not, you know, Ukraine suspended their own elections. This isn't even about freedom, okay? Because Ukraine is not a terribly free country right now. You've got to basically a dictator there in Zelensky.
and he is now running things like a dictator and you know we're at the very old and the very young part of this war where you've got you know you're kind of out of
military age men in Ukraine that you can throw at this thing. In the meantime, Russia's calling up reinforcements from its allies. And it's like, this ain't going to go well. This ain't going to go well. I just heard a story the other day about Ukraine bringing in all kinds of drones, massive numbers of drones. Because we don't have a lot of people, so we've got to use this technology to improve ourselves. I'm like, well, how much is the US paying for things that are basically designed to be shot down? Like you go, you deliver your payload, and you know that thing is going to get taken out of the sky.
And it's like, that's okay. We just paid a couple of mil for that. It's fine. Yeah. And again, is that where's the money circling around to? Yeah. We're giving it to Ukraine. Is that somehow making it back? Well, they're using it. They're using it to buy our weapons, which is coming from the military industrial complex on this end. So there seems to be some, you know, we talk about this all the time.
These weapons manufacturers, they give a bunch of money to Congress people and presidential candidates and they in turn make sure that this war keeps going and they keep sending taxpayer dollars over to Ukraine who then send it back to purchase the weapons from the military grade weapons producers who in turn turn around and give some of that money to elect the representatives and it's just this vicious circle. And it's crazy to me that we're still doing this while there are people out there dying and you just go,
Mmm, so I'm just getting time to end this, yeah. Did you ever think you'd see a day when the Republicans would be the doves and the Democrats would be the hawks? I really am shocked by a lot of this. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court made a ruling some time ago. They said,
You can't count anything without a signature on it. You can't count anything that comes in late. Okay? So if you got no signature, you got a signature that doesn't match or it's passed its freshness date, none of these votes count. Well, you had, of course, an election.
between Bob Casey and Dave McCormick. Dave McCormick wins by 26,000 votes. It's a tight race, but look, in a lot of these places, you had Donald Trump winning in the state and then the Senate seat went to the Democrat. So here McCormick actually bucks the system, bucks the trend as it happened in a couple of other places, and he actually wins the seat by 26,000 votes. Now that's within the margin of recount.
so it's within one percent which in pennsylvania means automatic recount and uh... they start the recounting and the election board says oh and by the way we're gonna count all those votes that the supreme court said we can't count and now mike lee of the senate has come out and said well here's the thing if you look at the way the constitution is raised it says each body will decide who actually get seated
So if you guys are going to continue to county legal votes and Bob Casey wins with those illegal votes, we're not seeking it. We're not going to see them. It's not a secure election. We get to make that ruling on this. As long as you're going to county illegal votes, he's never going to sit in this Senate. It's like good. That's what needs to happen. I was like, Bob Casey, you're better than this.
just concede in case he's like, I'm not going down without a fight. Well, the counting of illegal votes, and I think the election board is kind of like, what are you going to do about it? And the Senate goes, let me show you what we're going to do. We're not going to see them. Yeah. We're simply not going to see them. That's the way that's going to work. Wouldn't it be funny, by the way, if they counted all the illegal votes? And then it turns out that he doesn't win anyway.
either way it's just disturbing the county illegal this is i mean they're cheating in in plain sight right and they're and they're and they're telling you that they're cheating yeah they're being verbal about it and they're there they mean they're being transparent that they're counting those votes and everybody's like that's you can't do that you can't do that in this election not supposed to
Last but not least, I have this great story about the New York Times just basically taking its reputation and setting it on fire as if they hadn't done that already, but they've just reached the point where they're like, yeah, we don't care anymore. We don't get newspaper or a record screw that. You know,
I find it fascinating on two fronts. You know, Michelle Obama came in years ago and said, I want to make kids school lunches healthier. And what she did was she went whole hog. She started replacing chips with, you know, fruit. The fruit ended up in garbage cans. The food waste was astounding. You know, it was just without bothering to take into consideration one thing about what kids might or might not eat. Yeah, because if they don't like it, they won't eat it. But there's a way to make it healthy so they'll eat it. Wholesale sweeping change, right? Yeah. RFK juniors like,
saying that we should, you know, replace one for one or that we should take out the fries and put in the fruit. Here's what I'm saying. We need to get the artificial coloring and the artificial flavoring and all the chemicals out of stuff. By the way, this isn't new. They've been doing this in Europe. They're doing it in Canada. This has been going on for decades only in the United States. Have we done something other than that? We have just been piling the chemicals in. So the New York Times
actually had this paragraph in its writing yesterday morning. Mr. Kennedy has singled out fruit loops as an example of a product with too many artificial ingredients questioning why the Canadian version has fewer than the US version.
But he's wrong. The ingredient list is roughly the same. Although Canada's has natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots, well, the US product contains red dye 40, yellow five and blue one, as well as butylated hydroxy toluene or BHT, a lab made chemical that is used for fresh disaccording to the ingredient label. You're like, you just say it. These are largely the same except for these very important things that are completely different.
It sounds like a bunch of morons over there. What are you doing? What are you doing? It's amazing to me that liberals are losing their minds over, we have the fattest, unhealthiest country on the face of the earth. This guy comes in and goes, well, we should try something different. Oh my God, what's he doing?
We should try something that's not a reach. Now. Just say, maybe we shouldn't be doing it this way.
And again, he's not overhauling it the way that Michelle wanted to do it. No. And you're exactly right. A lot of food was wasted because kids were like, I'm not eating this. You completely change this. You can make subtle changes in those meals to make them healthier for kids and do some things that they won't even notice. They won't even know what's changed. I go back to craft, macaroni and cheese, which was absolutely brilliant.
They're like, we're taking out the artificial color. We're taking out the artificial flavor. We're not gonna use that anymore. I was like, it's gonna suck now. They're like, we did it six months ago. You didn't even notice. Oh yeah, okay. It can be done. Obviously, it can be done. So let's give the man a chance and see what happens. If it sucks, okay, I'll back off and go, this is terrible. We were wrong. You know me, I love food. I love butter. I love lots of, you know, if it's unhealthy, give me two.
Well, we're finding out the butter is not unhealthy. The butter is the healthy thing to cook. In fact, it is the better choice. I've actually known that for a couple of decades. Nobody would listen to me. Mr. Bugs, M-R-B-U-G-G-S.com, Mr. Bugs.com. They know what bugs you. 9416252 when the weather starts to turn cold or wet as it will tomorrow and on through the week.

I'm not allowed to say what it is. You can't say what it is. I have been warned multiple times to keep my... In the words of Valerie Viding, keep my big fat yap shot. Although I didn't really say that. No, this is exactly what you said. I didn't say big fat yap. I actually have it in a memo here. She wrote it down. You hang on to that. I thought it was to everyone.

A little bit of golf yesterday. It was really into the golf this year. You are crazy about the goal. I just need to get a little exercise to get outside and read some fresh air. It was fabulous.
I find exercise is so much more functional if it is something that you enjoy. Yeah, you're not thinking about it. Yeah, I like walking and doing it. So when I take the dogs and my only problem is that they're lazy. They're like, they're good for one mile. And then they're like, I don't want to do this anymore. I'm like, I'm ready to go another couple. Is that how they look at you? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, no, the second, the second go round, because each one is a half a mile, the second go round, they're just like, well, one of them is OK.
The other one is like, oh, I made a horrible mistake. Why did I think this was a good idea? I wish I had never done this. Okay. I don't know why you did. You know, you get the leash and they're, oh my God, this is great. We're going for a walk. I'm like, you remember this in 20 minutes.
Just one minutes later, oh, what are we doing? Don't make us go around again. We're going around again. It was gorgeous Saturday and Sunday for whatever you wanted to do. Just really nice weather. It really was. We've had almost seven weeks now of incredibly nice weather. The temperature's not too hot. They're not incredibly cold. We've not had a lot of rain. Kiss that goodbye tomorrow because the rain is coming in.
Couple of inches we could get here in the Birmingham Metro area. I'm okay with that. Yeah. It really is time. We gotta make something happen and I am good with getting as much rain into our world as possible, as long as we're not like flooding and stuff. Yeah, we don't need that. That we can do without. Yeah. Okay, so I did get a lot of Christmas stuff done over the week. I made it my plan every single day. You have to do at least one Christmas thing, otherwise it ain't all gonna get done.
by the end of Thanksgiving weekend. Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend, I want it all to be up and in place so that I can enjoy it for the next like five weeks. You know me, January 7th, the epiphany is when it all starts to come down and then it takes until almost the end of January. My goal would then be can I get it all down by inauguration day?
That would be perfect. Yes. Yes. My goal is always before January 1. Got to get it down before Jan. That's just me. That's just me. Everybody's different. Because, of course, you hate Jesus. I love Jesus. I just, it's a luck thing for the new year. Oh, it's a lot. Get it all put away. Yeah. This explains why my life sucks. OK, I did not know. That's what the problem is. Yeah, you got to get it done. I'm just unlucky. What I did not realize, and this is entirely my mistake, and I am going to begin working around it,
is that I'm baking.
but I have other people in my home. So I make my traditional white chocolate macadamia nut cranberry cookies. Is he getting eaten before he can? I turn around and there's like four goals. I'm like, what is going on here? My daughter. There's no problem now. These are delicious. And my daughter really likes them too. I like they're not for you. Oh, a few. I go to put some fudge like in bag so I can kind of refrigerate it and get it ready to. There's like chunks missing. What are you doing over here?
Oh, well, you make really good fudge. Okay, I love the compliment. Don't eat the food. This is little for them. A little for the people you're giving it to. No, no, no. A little for them becomes a lot for them, and then it's all for them, and then it's over at that point. Overall, though, a great weekend. A good time was had by most. It is 6.30. Talked at 9.5. Talked at 9.5.com. Well, that seems wrong.
It's Dixie Divining Talk then and then five talk then and then five dot com. Thanks for being here and hanging out with us on this beautiful Monday morning. I say beautiful because we're getting up to 76 degrees today, which you go. That's a little warm for this time of year. Oh, don't worry. We're not going to be seeing anything like this anytime soon again as we go to 69 tomorrow with a 100% certainty of rain 66 on Wednesday, 56 on Thursday. That's right. The first number of the high temperature is a five.
Wow. 56. You're really getting all into the weather forecast. Well, I just want to make sure that everybody's aware. They've already got the cold weather clothing out. Yeah. OK. Be prepared for it. It'll be good. Yeah. Got a raincoat. If you don't have a raincoat, you need a get a raincoat. You're going to need. Do not wear your good shoes tomorrow. You need an umbrella. Maybe a slicker or so. A slicker. Slicker. Some rubbers. OK. Yeah.

You know, tomorrow's going to be one of those days where you kind of go, man, I knew we had all these dry days and we should have called B-dry.
Yeah, B-dry is ready to assist you because tomorrow, those of you that have ended up with water in the basement and water in the crawl space and maybe you're seeing cracking in the foundation, a lot of that's due to heavy rains and we're going to get that tomorrow.

So let's get it fixed today, call B-Dry, or you can look them up online to find out a little bit more. B-Dryalabama.com. It is 640 with Dixon and Vining and the Harris campaign. Yes, that's right. It's not going away.
Shame, though, it may be, is in some serious financial straits. They promised their senior staff. And if you understand this, and I really don't, because I've never been on the inside. Leland Whaley's been there, and he knows how it works. But you've got the candidate, and then you have a group of people immediately beneath the candidate. Some of them are advisors. Some of them are sort of department heads. And you've got a whole bunch of different branches
of a campaign. You know, you've got the door knockers. These are the outreach people. Then you've got the ones who are responsible for putting together the appearances, the ones that the giant stadiums and the ones that are at the small town halls. And then you probably have
in the case of Kamala Harris, a celebrity wrangler, somebody whose job it is to call around and see if they can't get the celebrity endorsements that they need. There's somebody else who's responsible for booking you on to these various shows like Joe Rogan, which she didn't do and Stephen Colbert, which she did. So, you know, you got a bunch of different heads that are underneath
the immediate candidate, and then you got a whole bunch of people beneath them. So the senior staffers were told, we're going to pay you through December 1st. Don't worry about it. We may have lost, but you're not out of a job. We still need you to kind of wind things down. And we've got a untangle this whole mess. And we're going to continue paying you through December 1st. They got the news last week. Oh, remember that thing where we said we were going to pay you through December 1st? Yeah, no.
Really? Yeah, no. I was kind of counting on that. Well, it's not going to happen. Thanks for nothing. Hey, appreciate that. Kamala wanted to pass this message along sucks to be you. And so they also have got to come up with the $20 million. And we're starting to be because they're 20 million in debt, if you didn't know. They like they overspent. They spent $100 million a week
for the 15 weeks that she was the candidate. A hundred million dollars a week ago. Well, where did this money go? Well, we heard that the Oprah town hall was a million dollars, right? And you and I were both like, it couldn't have cost that much.
How about it cost $2.5 million? Somehow they were burying that. They were keeping that a secret. And then it turns out that there were a lot more. Some of these, I guess, were like NDAs that they were signing some of the inside people too. They were like, you get extra amount of money to not. So if you don't understand how this works, you know, sometimes
There's things that are illegal. There's stuff that, like, you can't have that in a contract. That's not acceptable. So what you do is you tie money to it and you go, well, I'm not making it illegal. It's perfectly legal. You can go out for it in the instance of an NDA. You want to go talk to me? You can talk to people all you want. But this, you know, half a million dollars you're going to get paid? You're not getting that. If you go talk to people, you don't get any of this money.
Now, that's a contract and that's an agreement that you can make. You can't say you're not allowed to talk to anybody under any circumstances, well, you don't have that kind of power.
You do have the kind of power to withhold money and happen sometimes with things like non-competes. You say, well, we can't technically now, according to the law, can't sign you to a non-compete, but we can tie half your income to a non-compete, which means if you go off and you compete against us after you leave, you have to give us that money back. And that will hold up at a court of law. So yeah, this is where $20 million is coming into play that they're like,
We don't have that money. Donald Trump issued a truth social post about a week ago where he said, hey, we should help him out. You know, in the spirit of reconciliation and trying to pull everyone together under one roof, wouldn't it be good if we actually give him, you know how much money he got? Zero. Nobody was like, yeah, let's help. I was like, let's watch them twist in the wind. Yeah, they said no, thank you. Let's just let them twist in the wind. And I'll be honest,
I actually have, it's almost two weeks, the smile has not left my face. And it's not even so much about, I can't wait to see what Trump will do. It's more a question of looking at these bozos who were all like, this is going to win and it's not even going to be close.
Oh, I'm enjoying watching you be so wrong. And I realize that's... A lot of people have gotten very quiet. If you notice that. If you notice that. I know I'm petty and small, and I don't care. I don't care because I... Well, because you endure months and months of this day after day after day. Oh, no. Oh, she's going to wipe the floor clean. Well, there's no chance of Trump. Well, I'm being called a Nazi and a Hitler follower and a white supremacist. And then Joe Biden welcomes Donald Trump in the Oval Office with open arms.
Oh, come on in. It's good to see you. Come on. You need to be a part of this. Have a seat over here. Not a joke. I'm not joking. I mean, seriously. Yeah. How do you go from calling him the things that he called him to, hey, now we're best friends. It becomes pretty obvious that that was nothing more than a ruse to try to persuade the electorate to lean one way rather than the other, by the way.
There is campaign used almost $15,000 on food delivery services like Uber Eats and DoorDash from July through the end of November. $15,000. What is that? Like three orders? Like three orders. $9,000 on ice cream from high-end shops.
So Nancy Pelosi was working for the campaign. Apparently so, yeah. Oh, have you heard about this, by the way? Nancy Pelosi apparently very upset that she blew up her close relationship with the Biden's. She's like, yeah, he hasn't talked to me since the whole stepping down. Would you? Would you? The way that they handled that whole thing? Well, he may have forgotten. That was terrible. She said she's going to run again now.
Oh, just go home, Nancy. Good gosh. She wants to run again because she wants to try to mend her relationship with a Biden feeling. She doesn't care anything about mending Jack. What are you, 86? Right. Just go home. Enough. Enough. You're done. Let somebody else have that seat that is, you know, you are taking up and, you know, it's one thing, and look, we've made comments about this.
you get to a certain age and i may have disagreed with your policies as i did with joe biden throughout most of his life i've disagreed with his policies but then when he begins to get to the point where he's just addled and he can't even walk through sand you're like okay it's not even about policies at this point and i feel that way about nancy polosi when she tried you try to interviewer and she just begins to stammer and drag and you're just like okay this isn't about the fact that you and i have a disagreement
I don't care if you replace her with somebody who has the exact same policies she had, they at least need to be cognizant of what's happening around them, right? I don't think she is. Yeah, I think she loses her way many times when she is interviewed and it is time. Yeah, at that age, what are you doing?
I mean, at 80 something plus, please enjoy the rest of your life and just try to relax. Why, you know, maybe this is her idea of enjoying the rest of her life. Goodness. Okay. You should be like Valerie Vining and call pro lift garage doors. Should you have a problem?
with your garage doors, 2869727, 2869727. You know, when we talk about some of these fine sponsors on our show, it's not, you know, I use stuff that Leland advertises and Andrew uses stuff that we advertise. And, you know, we all use each other's sponsors for the very reason that none of us would talk about them if we didn't believe in them and think that they were very good at what they did.
and pro-lift falls into that category. Right now, a 21-point garage door inspection for 49 bucks. They'll lube it up and tune it up and give you an inspection report. If you feel like, eh, that's not for me. Well, you should seriously consider it because getting ahead of a problem will save you a lot of time, trouble, and money down the line

You can find them online at proliftdoors.com. 653, talk then at 9.5, talk then at 9.5, dot com. What a day we have in store, as you just heard, from our good friend Alex Pugget over at CBS 42, 76 for a high today. The rain comes in tomorrow, just be
prepared for it as we went our way toward unbelievable 10 days, I guess, to Thanksgiving, 10 days. Wow. It's flying by folks. You ain't got the turkey and the dressing and the cranberry. Get on it. Time to get on it. That would be the time to get the shopping done. Worst day, by the way, when I was working in the grocery business, worst day to work there, day before Thanksgiving. That Wednesday was a nightmare. I was only there three years and I dreaded that day every
Well, I dreaded it the second and third year. I didn't know the first year. I didn't know how bad it was going to be. It's a little busy in there. At least it makes the day go by a little faster. That shift went by like nobody's. I was shagging carts the first day. Oh, gosh, yes. That was my job. I was the cart shagger the first year. The second and third year, it was a cashier. And the lines just stretched. They just went back so far. It was like,
You know, all you can do is put your head down and just ring up as fast as you possibly could and just be like, people are going to wait. That's all there is to it. We want to try to keep a smile on your face. Even when you get everything you think you need, there's always like the day before. Oh, I need, I forgot this or I need a little bit more.
of something and say you're back in the store with everybody. My mother was notorious for forgetting things right up until the middle of the meal. Oh, that's a problem. The store might be closed on Thanksgiving. I forgot the question rolls. You're like, yeah, they're still in the tube in the fridge, mom. That's how much you forgot. 654 and Rodney's Marine says maybe winterizing is for you at this time of year. It might be the moment that you need to get your boat over there. They're on highway 231 and beautiful crop well, of course, on Lake Logan Martin.
And get that thing winterized and put up for the winter so that you don't have fuel gelling in the lines and stuff like that. There's a lot that goes in to making sure that your boat is winter ready and then getting it spring ready again when the time comes. But if you're going to store it for any length of time, you need to let these guys out your Suzuki power and let them take good care of you.
Yeah, because this is what they do, and they do make that part of it easy when you need to winterize it. Think about it, too. We've got six weeks till Christmas. If you've got somebody on your list, the fam's been talking about, hey, wouldn't it be great to have a boat? Sure, get a boat for the family and put it in the driveway with a red bow on it and enjoy it when the season comes back around because, you know, our winter season's pretty short, and then we're back out on the water.
Rodney's Marine also has lots of accessories. Think about the boater in your family, get them some accessories from Rodney's Marine. Go by and see these fine folks. Rodney's Marine Highway 231 Lake Logan Martin in Cropwell. You can find them on Facebook. Their website is Rodney's Marine dot com or give them a call today. 525, 1500, 525, 1500, Rodney's Marine. All right, for one of the very few times it's ever happened. Valerie Vining and I were on the same side of a subject and we were both right.
Both of us on Friday predicted a Jake Paul win in this Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight said that it was going to go the whole distance eight rounds and it was going to be a decision and it was in fact that a unanimous decision. I don't know how your viewing experience was but my Netflix. It was awful. My Netflix froze up like Mitch McConnell at a speech. I mean it was just I could not get that.
And it right before the chick fight. Yeah, I saw the earlier fight, the two guys before the two females. Both of the two early fights. And then boom, it just, and I texted a friend, I'm like, my Netflix is gone. He goes,
back out of it and then go back in. And that's what we do. You know how many times I did that? Three. Twenty. Twenty. About twenty times. And finally I said, good night. I'm going to bed. I didn't even get to watch the fight. Neither did I. Neither did I. I said, I'm not doing this. I said, you know what? I'll watch it tomorrow because this is all going to be, you know, streamable tomorrow. Of course, I wake up in the morning. First thing I do, like an idiot, is check my newsfeed because that's, it's rote by this. It's like breathing for me. I'm checking the newsfeed. It's like, Jake Paul beats Mike Tyson in, and I was like,
Well, there's no point in watching the fight now. I know what happened. Like, I hate that I figured that. I wish I hadn't done it. I wish my brain had kicked in and said, turn on the fight before you look at the news, you know? Because eight rounds, two minutes each. What was that? 20 minutes tops? It didn't take.
20 minutes stop second to watch it. But, you know, I'm, it was not unexpected. Not unexpected. I told you, Jake Paul's a better fighter than people think he is. He actually takes it seriously. He trains. He's got the persona and the problem child and all that crap. There's a lot of people out there that are like, it looks like Mike Tyson through the fight. He's almost 60.
Yeah, and that, again, and I know he's been working out and working hard and was doing some things to prepare for this, but age always gets in the way. When somebody's younger like that, it's the age thing that gets in the way. You just don't have the same strength and finesse and everything else that you need in boxing to fight. Everybody kept talking about, the Tyson was like biting his love, that he says he has a biting issue, and I'm like, well, you think? He was trying to keep from biting Jake's ear, I think is what was going on.
He was like, would I have a bite at that? That's just bothersome. It's like, what is going on in that man's head? Well, maybe not a lot. None of this counts for anything, of course. It was an exhibition match. Yeah. You know, and it's okay with me if Mike Tyson never fights again. He probably shouldn't have fought this time, but whatever.
If Jake Paul wants to actually make a career at a boxing, I hope he does and continues down this road. I don't care for the guy personally, but you know, he wouldn't be the first if he becomes heavy late champion. He wouldn't be the first one. I've been like, I don't really like that guy. Well, all I know is Netflix needs to re look at what they're doing. You've got a bunch of football that is coming up and there was a lot of ticked off people on Friday. They should have known that this was going to be the most viewed sporting event
Probably in history on on streaming and they were not prepared I was going to social media is like is this just me ex was blowing up was just blown up with and I thought okay Am I doing something wrong turn the TV off turn it back on turn Netflix go to a different channel come back It's still buffering. You know I was I got so frustrated. I just gave up and
