radio, Miss Esme Russell. Hello.
How are you, Gracia?
I don't speak your language. I know you don't.
You be going to school for the student speaking.
So I I'm sorry. You know what gets me though is
that you will not give me her number because I would call her.
You know what? You know what's funny?
I'm taking her again this next over the summer.
I'm taking her for for my Spanish.
Yes, Argentina.
Oh, Argentina. OK, Yeah.
Oh, their Spanish is beautiful. Yeah, Argentina Spanish is
gorgeous. Yeah, yeah.
It's not as fast as mine. Same.
Yeah. Yeah.
But sure, they speak beautiful. They they have a beautiful
accent too. Oh my God.
Well, don't, don't be rude about about the her.
She, she, she, she, she's a good teacher.
And I was actually talking to your, your, your daughter.
No, it was Shane actually who I was talking to.
And I, I told him, I gave him a little secret.
I'm going to go ahead and tell you this as me.
I understand more Spanish than I let you know.
Just letting you know that I do understand certain things.
I'm not going to respond to that.
I'm not responding to that. I'm.
Not responding. I'm not responding to that in
Spanish. You're not convinced?
OK anyways. I said I'm withholding my
opinion. I I'm withholding my opinion.
Holding my opinion. Hold your opinion to yourself.
I know for a fact. I know for a fact.
I won't speak it, but I at least understand it enough to go ahead
and and I can. I could pick up a little bit.
I could pick up a. Little bit I do know this, that
if you wanted to speak it you could.
Oh absolutely. But I don't want.
'Cause you're not a dumb person. No, but I don't.
I know dumb people. Yeah, we talk about dumb people
all the time. Oh yeah, I just don't want to.
I just don't want to. Anyways, We're also joined by
we're joined by Lexi Long, Orlando Drag Race Live Season 10
winner. Welcome into the studio.
Hello, I'm so happy to be here, you guys are so fun.
So, Lexi, we didn't talk to you about your other job, Your real
job? Yes, your real job which?
Is my day job. Which is that you work at Walt
Disney World. Yes, I do.
I'm an entertainer at Walt Disney World.
I work in entertainment. I can't say too much about what
I do, but I perform for a living.
It's, it is a very interesting dichotomy of my life going from
because some days I'll go from Disney straight into drag,
right? So it it is very interesting
going from one to the other, but it does make you realize that
entertaining people is very similar no matter the type.
Of how long have you worked for Disney?
I've actually not worked there very long.
I've worked there for about 6 months, not even a year.
The hiring process, was it difficult?
So it's like a classic audition, you know, for entertainment, you
go into it depends. Everyone's story at Disney is
different. Yeah, really, honestly.
But my story started with a big cattle call audition at their
rehearsal facility. And essentially you just show up
to this giant cattle call, All these boys are there and they
whittle you down. As the time goes on, you learn a
combination and they just eliminate more and more and more
and more people. For ours, they kept us all day.
They made us go home for three hours.
We came back later on in the day and then we we did some
partnering with some girls, some dancing.
It, it really depends because there's so much, so many types
of entertainment in the park. So each audition is going to be
different depending on what they're looking for.
But yeah, it was a long experience.
Some people audition for one thing and end up getting another
gig. Absolutely, Absolutely.
They'll say to you you're not a good fit for this, but we would
like you to do this role absolutely in this thing.
Because with a lot of what Disney is, it's, it's not even
about like how good or bad you are at something.
It's about what you look like or, or where you fit into the
system perfectly, you know, So I mean, a lot of times you could
go in for one thing, your height, your Oh my goodness,
it's the littlest things you could never think about.
Your teeth, your eyes, your nose, your face, your, your
voice, your voice, how thick your your calf is could mean the
difference of not fitting or fitting a costume.
Like you get a 3D body scan when you first get hired and you
stand in this thing and you hold this bar and it spins around you
and takes a a live 3D photo of you.
And from that photo they can see which costumes you do and you
don't fit into. And it it can be very specific.
Like I said, the your wrist is too big or too small.
Like it's it's so specific. So it really is about just like
who you are and how you can be used in the system.
Is there ever a shortage of dancers or do you guys always
have dancers? We do always have dancers.
I will say I, it does feel like
sometimes there's, there's not many of us that do each skill.
So like if there's a very highly skilled, like let's say parade
or show, there's not a ton of us that do that because I don't I
don't think they want to have too many people in there because
they want to have people who care and who are skilled.
Once you get. How many parades do you do a
day? So I'm doing my right now I'm
doing the night time parade. So I only do 2 parades at night
but. And how long, How long, How many
hours of work is that? That is about a six hour day of
work for two parades. The parade itself is probably
about 3045 minutes. But one would never even be able
to understand what it's like to start and finish a parade
dancing. And what you don't get is so I
grew up dancing my whole life. OK, but there's a difference
between dancing and then dancing and moving forward at the same
time. You would never think it's such
a, a mind boggling thing, but it's adding it's, it's adding so
much more physicality to it because you're not just dancing
in one spot on the stage. You're getting, you're going
somewhere. You're guiding.
You're. You're guiding, yeah.
And there's a float behind you and a float in front of you, so
you better move, you know? So it it definitely.
Talk to you. You know, no, not really.
They'll they'll scream some things, but it's one of those
things where it's like, baby, I don't have time.
I'll give you a little smile, a little wave, you know?
But because you're dancing. But that's the most I can give.
Yeah, No, no talking for sure, for sure.
But yeah, and it's pantomime. Yeah, I mean, I'm just waving
inside. I'm allowed to talk.
You are allowed to talk. We're allowed to talk.
So the music is playing and you learn the song, so it's
basically pantomime. We're well, so we're not singing
to this, we're not lip syncing to this song.
So it's it's like but. You but you have done roles for
your lip syncing. I have not.
No, I have not. There is, I will say, like the
Castle show. I think they do some.
Lip syncing. I know that they do.
They definitely do, but in parades and stuff, actually a
lot of times it's the the character.
There's like Mickey and Minnie and stuff they'll do.
It's called head sinking and they'll move their head back and
forth. Masters at it, yeah.
And it's not just head sinking, it's body sinking.
It's but it's and whole physical, yeah.
Yeah, it's crazy. It really is.
Like they're directing orchestra, right?
I love to watch Mickey at Fantasmic.
His. Movements are so fat arms and
then the arms are just it's the arm movements are so big and so
fabulous. It's.
Thrilling. I love watching Fantastic.
I love Fantasmic. I do love Fantasmic a lot and.
The behind the scenes, I mean Fantasmic is like.
Beautiful. I see how they cover up a Ariel
with a little tarp. They bag the fish.
They bag is that they call Bag the fish?
Yeah. So she does.
Yeah. So the fireworks don't get her.
It's great. It's just, it's so, so Disney's
amazing there. There really is.
The professionalism is just. Yes, it's a great company to
work for. You, you, you really learn you,
you learn about professional work, right, Because everyone
there is a true professional. Now in the drag space, it's very
different because you're working with a lot of people.
I mean, there's no audition to get and work in the gay club,
right? Over the course of my life, I've
learned I've known Queens that have been in Fantasmic.
Yes. So yeah, that have done both the
Evil Queen, yes, Maleficent and Maleficent, Yeah, yeah.
Maleficent is usually always a man, and no one would ever know
that. Well, she's up there so far up
anyway. Yeah, you know, and the and the
movements are so outrageous and big and.
You know, just waving the arm. Waving the arm.
Yeah, so it's perfect. And you need someone tall and
long for that. It'd probably be a great
Maleficent. I wouldn't.
That is one of my dream roles, but everyone wants it, so she.
Goes you're everybody wants it. Yes.
But yeah, it's my, it's in my height range, so.
Yeah, it is your height. Oh yeah, 'cause she's, yeah,
she's up there. She's tall.
She she's a big girl. Yeah, big.
Girl Jafar would be another one. Jafar would be a good one, yeah.
Yeah, let's go into some hot topics, Miss, says me.
Alrighty. I got something I.
Just I just love the Disney conversation.
Oh definitely. I'm a Disney fan.
I just love and movies. I love Disney movies as well.
Who doesn't? Let's jump into this.
Former Exodus International leader Allen Chambers was
arrested in Central Florida after investigators say he tried
to arrange a sexual meet up with someone he believed was a 14
year old boy. Chambers, 54, was charged with
solicitation of a minor via computer, transmitting harmful
material to a minor and unlawful use of two way communication
device, according to Orange County Sheriff's Office, A
undercover detective poised as a pose poised posed as a 14 year
old on Snapchat and began communicating with Chambers
earlier this year. It's always the same.
He said Chambers introduced himself as a 50 year old man
named John David. That's one of the worst fucking
names I've ever heard. And later moved the conversation
to text messages and Telegram. The arrest affidavit said that
Chambers allegedly sent sexually explicit messages and photos
while trying to set up an in person meeting.
No bond is currently listed. Exodus International shut down
in 2013 after Chambers publicly apologized to the LGBTQ plus
community and acknowledged the harm the organization created
through the its promotion of conversion therapy.
It's always the same people. Yep, it's always the same
people. I'm so tired of this.
I'm so tired of the hate that we get from them and the and how
steadfast they work to pass laws to hurt us to to prevent us from
living well. He even acknowledged it during
his apology to the LGBTQ community.
He said that he had hidden his own attraction to men and
expressed regret for the pain. Link to the group's work.
I mean, hey, right there. I, I think that that and itself,
the fact that he's just owning up and admitting it, it's, it's
proof in it and it's I. Had someone tell me the other
day that they didn't see how being gay was political or why
we had to politicize it. And I said to that person, it is
political. Being gay is political and your
side has made it that way. You've outlawed me from using
women's spaces. That is political.
OK. You've you consistently trying
to ban men and women from marrying each other.
That is political. It's it's a political movement.
Yeah, OK. It's not personal.
It's political. It may be personal as well, but
you're making it political. Absolutely.
You're trying to outlaw my existence.
They're saying on White House documents that trans people are
a terrorist movement. That is political.
Yeah, that is political. I am not a terrorist.
No, When you bring it in that space, you bring it in that
space. You're bringing it.
You're making it political. This idea that it's that being
gay or being trans is not political.
It is political if you don't want it to be political if you
want it to stop. Stop talking about us.
Get our names out of your filthy fucking mouths because you're
all a bunch of perverts, y'all Smith?
They're all a bunch of perverts. Totally.
Agree, Totally agree. I mean, just all of them.
Every accusation is a fucking confession.
Every single, every time you hear one of them go, well, those
transgenders are we're going to stop all these gays from
sleeping with each other and we're going to convert them back
to Christianity. Every one of those people ends
up turning out to be some gay guy that that didn't come out
and was trying to meet with other gay.
Guys and just like he said how after all of this then he admits
it right then he then he owns up and says.
They're usually married by the way, right?
Which is 'cause. They're in a trapped.
Situation Can you imagine the wife how she must feel and the
children how embarrassing that is for a wife and.
And it's, it's, it adds an extra level of shame to this already.
They're already feeling shame, right?
So then now this family is feeling this shame and it's, and
it sucks because it's like, we could have all just been honest.
And now there's so much shame attached to this thing.
And that's why it's political, right?
You know, it's, it's, it's become this thing.
It's not. Just no wonder that every time
there's a Republican anything, convention, gathering, meeting,
golf, whatever, a grinder literally blows.
Up. Am I right or not, Chris?
A former Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
biologist who was fired over a social media post about
conservative commentator Charlie Kirk has reached a cash
settlement with the agency, according to court documents.
Brittany Brown had worked for FWC for seven years before being
terminated after reposting a message to a private Instagram
Story following Kirk's 2025 assassination.
The reposted message mocked Kirk over past comments about school
shootings, saying Wales cared exactly as much as Charlie Kirk
cared about children being shot in their classroom.
Brown's attorney argued that the Instagram account was private
and had no connection to her work at FWC.
The settlement terms and payout have not been made public, and
also the judge has denied Brown's request to get her job
back. Good.
I'm glad that she finally, she got her money.
It sucks that she's not gonna have, you know, the ability to
do her work. But it's good that she got her
money, got her bag. That's gonna happen to a lot of
people, though, A lot of people who have gotten fired over
these, you know, Commons, that's, that's First fucking
amendment. One of the things that happened
with Charlie Kurt's death is they tried to give him a
sainthood when he died. So the way that he was murdered
was terrible. Absolutely.
I mean, you cannot. There's just no way to fix that.
It's human like that's. That's terrible.
That's somebody's husband. That was somebody's dad, you
know, that's somebody's son. But he was not a good guy.
No, OK. I mean, we couldn't say that at
the time of his death because we were trying to be politically
correct. But in retrospect, and and and
it's not because I'm saying it, all you got to do is go on the
Internet and look up his speeches and hear the vile,
terrible things that he would say.
You know, transphobic, homophobic, racist.
Yeah. Just just bad.
He was not a good guy. It does not mean that he
deserved to die. No.
And I would never, I would never condone that.
And and I'm very saddened that he was murdered because I, I
feel like, you know, people like Kim, I always have hope that
they'll convert, that they'll realize they've made a mistake.
I'm seeing Candace Owen right now.
Candace Owens the perfect 1. Tucker Carlson is another one.
Joe Rogan is 1. Candace Owen, you know, she was
talking to Biden's son the other day and she apologized to him
for calling him a drug addict and a, you know, crack head and
all that. And, and I thought to and he
said, well, I was a crack head. You were saying the truth.
And I love that he owned it. He said, I just didn't want to
hear it, But I was at that time a crack head.
She goes, I shouldn't have been calling you that because you
were dealing with an illness. He goes, you're right about
that. You are.
And but she owned it, though, and he owned it.
And I thought, wow, what's going on here, man?
That's what we're all missing, right?
It's just at the end of the day being being people and talking
to each other about stuff and taking all this, all this
external weight and pressure away.
And really, we're just people talking like it's really.
That simple. But I've just, she's really
surprised me, you know? I like to believe that come 510
years from now, we'll have that sort of open dialogue back again
because what you're seeing right now with Candace Owens and
Hunter Biden was, as you know, as May what was happening with
Mitt Romney and Obama. What was his name?
McCain and Obama, Bush and fucking dildo, whatever his name
is. Gore I.
Watched that interview with her and I thought Candace Owen is
being decent and respectful and she's asking valid questions.
And she since I mean, her apology was real.
You know, you can look in somebody's eyes.
It wasn't like it wasn't a last minute.
She goes, I really, I really missed the mark with you.
I, I, I think about what I said at that time and I feel really
bad about it. I don't, I don't know why I was
feeling like that or why I was, you know, I'm like thinking to
myself. She's analyzing herself.
It's the House of Cards. Once you once 1 little thing
falls right, everything starts to deconstruct.
And I'm thinking, OK, this is what we're this is progress.
Absolutely. This is progress here, OK?
And I know that there are people that she speaks to that want her
to be hateful and to continue the nastiness, but she's just
not there right now, you know? I think that because Charlie
Kirk was essentially a brother to her, I think the loss of
Charlie Kirk really opened her eyes to the way that the the
Conservative Party has been treating certain people.
And she feels, and at one time I was in argument about it with
myself internally, but I don't think that I don't feel that way
anymore. She feels that he was murdered,
that he was set up, that it was planned.
She really feels that way. She's even said that she thinks
that the wife knew about it. I've heard this stuff the.
Wife has said that there was there are problems in their
marriage. All of this is conspiracy
theories. Now Erica Kirk is a whole nother
topic. Girl, we going to start.
That girl who go. Girl, the eyes.
Don't forget the eyes they Pierce.
Girl, when she dressed up like Janet Jackson to do that
interview, I thought I was going to freaking lose my mind.
I was ready for the. I think it was, it was, it
wasn't intentional, I don't think.
But she looked like she looked. She looks just like the fucking
Rhythm Nation tour. She carries herself like a
Jackson, coming also on these stages with pyrotechnics and and
lighting and fireworks. I'm like, oh.
Look, Speaking of Disney, she's a whole Disney show.
Literally. She like she, she kind of.
She's got the budget too. She's.
Got the show. Yeah.
Yeah, she was. She was the submissive wife that
Charlie Kirk did not want her to be seen or to be heard.
Stay behind me. Raise the kids.
Don't talk. Don't be seen.
When I let you out of your cage to come out, you stand right
here and don't speak. Do you know how they met?
No. How did they meet?
It was a job interview. He took her out to a lunch for a
job interview. And then on this job interview
at the end, he was like, do you want to go on a date?
How creepy and weird is that? Like, that is the start of all
of this whole thing that we're looking at right now.
That was the start of it. And like, you can't ignore how
something starts because it will affect how it ends.
You know what I mean? And just thinking about that is,
so it really puts into perspective like how these
business businessmen work and how this industry works, right?
It's crazy. It's so crazy to think about.
Well, I got one more topic before we go into news.
A West Virginia man was arrested after deputies say he repeatedly
called 911 to report zombies, ghost, and a UFO at his home.
Randolph County, yeah. Randolph County detectives,
Deputies, I should say, identified the man as 33 year
old Clinton Wayne Nealon of Elkins, WV.
Investigators say Nealon falsely claimed that he was being
harassed by several people when deputies arrived at his
residence. He also allegedly said that he
was a police officer from Louisiana.
Authorities later determined that he was not a law
enforcement officer and accused him of impersonating an officer.
He was charged with misuse of a local emergency telephone system
and impersonating a law enforcement officer.
He is bought. His bond is 2500 cash only
that's in. I want to know what kind of
psychosis that he's going through.
He should not be in jail. He needs to be in a, a, a mental
health institution. He needs to be.
He needs to find help. A lot of times people have
mental health issues and they put them in jail.
Yeah, so often. Very much of the time, actually.
Very much so. And, and it's the reason why,
you know, in prison, you know, they don't go ahead and get
rehabilitated. No.
And, and they're not, they just sit there.
They're not going to help him there.
He's not going to get the help that he that he desperately
needs. That's just so sad.
It's, it's, it's, it's, it really is sad.
And I really hope that he can get the help that he needs.
But it's, it's a broader issue that we really need to focus on
when it comes to this. This country is the actual fact
that, you know, we're not rehabilitating these people.
And I mentioned this on on air a couple weeks ago, either on the
after show or on the main show that, you know, slavery is still
legal in this country. You have to be convicted of a
crime, but it's still legal. It is still 100% legal to be a
slave so long as you are incarcerated.
And that's, that is part of the 13th Amendment.
So it's, it's it, it really is, it really is mind boggling.
Well, Esme, I'm assuming you don't have any anything, any
topics? Well, I do have one topic and I
do want to cover it when we get back from the break.
And that is what if you're if you refuse to give up your room
for a family guest? Yes, I think this is this kid
really is my hero. I really like him a lot.
I'm I, I'm going to tell you, I really do like this kid a lot.
I wish I could write him a letter, you know, and just say
to him, good job. Good job for standing up for
yourself. You know what I mean?
Well, I got a little bit more breaking news.
Not really breaking when you when you're hearing it now, but
breaking to us. A federal appeals court is
blocking Alabama from using its GOP drawn congressional map.
We also have a family saying that Amazon Bot Earn may have
arrived with somebody else's ashes inside Southwest Airlines
banning human like robots. And then we've got also a house
proposal that might charge EV owners for Rd. costs.
We got all that and more coming up after the break, but we're
going to go ahead and throw it over to Claire Leeson from
Project No Labels for our big gay news and then over to Joanna
Grosso for our big gay community calendar.
We'll be right back. I'm Claire Leeson from project
No Labels and this is your LGBTQ plus news from around the
country and right here in Tampa Bay in national news from
watermark out news, the US House of Representatives passed a
federal don't say trans bill on May 20th that critics say Wood
forest teachers to out transgender students to their
parents. The legislation would require
schools to obtain parental consent before allowing students
to use their preferred name, pronouns and gender markers, and
would restrict federal funding for schools that teach concepts
related to what the the bill calls gender ideology.
Supporters argue parents should direct conversations around
gender identity, while opponents warn the bill could place
transgender students in unsafe situations at home and increase
the risk of harassment, abuse or conversion therapy.
The measure passed mostly along party lines, with eight
Democrats joining Republicans in support.
In Winter Park from West Orange County, deputies announced the
arrest of Allen Chambers, a former leader of the now defunct
conversion therapy organization Exodus International.
Investigators say Chambers believed he was communicating
online with a 14 year old boy who was an undercover detective.
He now faces charges including solicitation of a minor and
transmission of harmful material to a minor.
Chambers previously made national headlines in 2013 when
he apologized to the LGBTQ community for the harm caused by
Exodus International before the organization shut down in
Colorado. From PBS The state Supreme Court
has ordered Children's Hospital Colorado to resume gender
affirming medical care for transgender minors.
The hospital had passed treatments earlier this year
amid pressure and investigations tied to the Trump
administration's policies surrounding transgender
healthcare for transgender girls sued the hospital, arguing the
suspension violated Colorado's anti discrimination laws and
placed their mental health at risk.
In a 5 to 2 ruling, the court sided with the families, saying
that immediate harm faced by the patients outweighed potential
federal consequences for the hospital.
And finally, from The Associated Press, former Congressman Barney
Frank has died at the age of 86. Frank served in Congress for
more than three decades and became one of the nation's most
prominent openly gay political leaders.
Known for his sharp wit and outspoken advocacy, he helped
bring national visibility to LGBTQ rights while also playing
a major role in shaping financial reform legislation
following the 2008 economic crisis.
Frank is survived by his husband, Jim Reddy, along with
his siblings and extended family.

there? Over there?
I press the wrong button. What up what you say?
I say you have lost your motherfucking mind.
What you mean? What you mean?
The way you were repeating everything he was saying.
On I, I know all of the things that Sean says by heart at this

Off air, obviously, with the mic muted.
Oh, OK. Like, no, no, definitely.
I wasn't saying it while we were on air, but yeah.
Anyways. We're also joined by Lexi Long,
Orlando Drag Race Live season 10 winner.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Hello. Hello.
Well, Esme, here's a wild story for you.
A Southern California family says an urn that they bought on
Amazon appeared to contain somebody else's ashes.
The urn was one of several purchased after the death of a
family's grandfather and so relatives could keep each part
of his ashes. Family member Mark Culbertson
said every arrive or every urn arrived empty except for one,
which contained what looked like cremated remains.
Culbertson says the family believes the ashes belong to a
stranger and wants to reunite them with the correct family.
He says Amazon initially apologized and offered a $20
refund credit, but there was little little else that they
could do because the order was placed over a year ago.
Frustrated by the response, they reached out to the media to to
get the attention that they for the situation.
Jesus fucking Christ, as May Can you imagine going ahead and
being traumatized with fucking death of a family member and
then finding somebody else's ashes in the urn that you buy?
So my guess is this day that that the urn was returned,
somebody had initially bought it.
Well, Can you imagine being returned?
Somebody put the ashes in the urn and forgot to take the ashes
out when they returned it. But what's so, OK, Amazon
doesn't do any sort of service like that, right?
They don't do cremations, no. So then how did these ashes end
up in this urn? That's what I'm saying it has.
Somebody bought the urn for their family members ashes.
They put their ashes in the urn and then after looking at the
urn, they said now we're going to return it.
We don't like that, that urn, you see what happened and they
forgot to take the ashes out. Imagine being that person,
you're dead, and then you're thrown back into an Amazon
storage facility. They.
Send you back to the store and they resold it.
Well, they should be able to track that then, right.
I mean, you would think with the technology, because if they see
who returned this and then I don't know because maybe they
just put these things when they returned back on a stock shelf,
you know. Maybe, but.
That's insane. That's.
Exactly what happened. It's the only explanation.
Right, Right. That is so wild.
That's also kind of eerie, kind of weird.
And you're like, whose body is this?
Yeah. Anyways, a federal a federal 3
judge panel blocked Alabama's Republican drawn congressional
map from taking effect, saying the districts were intentionally
drawn to discriminate based on race.
The judges said they could not allow Alabamians to vote in 2026
under what they called the map map tainted by intentional race
based discrimination. The ruling is a major set back
for Republicans who hope the new map would help them pick up a
congressional seat in the midterm elections.
The disputed map would have eliminated one of Alabama's two
majority black congressional districts.
Alabama Republicans. That's that's pretty much it to
the end of the story. I got a lot of other notes on
there, but they're. Going they're listen, they're
desperately trying to cheat. Oh, very much so.
They know their ass is going to get handed to them in the
midterm. No amount of backfire, no amount
of gerrymandering that you do is going to be able to fucking get
the to keep the blue wave from happening.
The blue wave's going to happen whether you like it or not.
And people, and let me tell you, it's going to be a tsunami.
All you need to do, I'm just telling you, is go to the
grocery store and start shopping.
And once you realize how little your money goes, how far it
goes, it doesn't go very far, you're going to realize that you
they're in trouble. They're in big trouble.
It's survival at this point. It's not even about like what
you believe and what you don't believe.
It's like I need to survive. People are not going to be
voting because they like Democrats.
People are voting for Democrats because they cannot afford to
survive anymore. That is exactly correct and I
don't care. Listen, it's like when people
say, well, Lincoln will Lincoln free the slaves, But he really
didn't want to write the emancipation of Proclamation.
It was more of a political, I don't care what his reason was.
I don't care. I don't care why you're voting
Democrat. I really don't care.
Just vote. Right, right.
I don't care why you're doing it.
I know you. I know that many people are not
Democrats and they're going to vote Democrat because of the
cost of living right now. Here's the thing, I really hope
that's the way because unfortunately people are so
attached to whatever they are or whatever they think they are,
that sometimes they will put their own beliefs out the window
just to identify with something. So there's about 34 to 35% of
the electorate that is not going to budget.
They're not going to budget with the pedophilic accusations.
They're not going to budget that he's an adjudicated rapist.
They're not going to budget that he has been charged and
convicted of sexual assault. They are not going to budget
that the prices of gasoline have gone up.
They're not going to budget that the price of food is
skyrocketing. They're not going to budget
that. He is grifting off of the
presidency every day, millions and millions of dollars.
They're not going to budget for any of that.
They're going to vote for him, even if he sinks them like the
Titanic into the ocean. So I, I do kind of want to push
back a little bit on that though.
And the reason why I do is because of the fact that you've
got people that I genuinely thought were going to be never,
never or not Trumpers. I always thought people like
Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan would always be, you know, those Trump
MAGA loyalists. And yet recently they haven't
been well, they've been very critical.
These are educated people. So what what I'm talking about
is that is. The uneducated Because you're
exactly right. I think it's about 25% of the
American population is. Illiterate.
I don't know how to put this. They're dumb fucks.
Pretty much. They're voting against their own
interests. In simple terms.
In simple terms, they're voting against themselves in order.
They're voting not based on bettering the lives of American
people. They're not voting for equal
rights. They're not voting for equality
or any of that. They're voting on their hate.
It's sad 'cause they don't even realize it.
They hate those transgenders, they hate those homosexuals,
they hate those immigrants, The others.
He's otherwise those. People, that's what they're fed
though too, and they eat it up. And those people, no matter what
we do, they're not coming around.
He's got them by the he's got them locked in a death grip.
It is. I still think that the midterms
are going to be a little bit more eye opening in in a in a
refute to that, to be honest, I think that there's going to be a
lot. More 75% of the vote is better
than nothing true. Do you see what I'm saying?
Absolutely. Cause we, we need more than 50%,
yeah, we need like 60 or 70% yeah to be a landslide win.
But if we can get 70 to 75% of the vote, I'm in.
I'm like. Esme, you need to understand the
the it's not. It does not matter.
Landslide. In my opinion, landslide doesn't
matter. Win.
We win. What?
No, it doesn't even matter whether or not we win.
The way we get this fucker out of office is with a 2/3
majority. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you're you're exactly right. We need between 60 and 70% so
that we can have the Senate votes to get the fucker out of
office. Get get all these people out of
office. Fire them all.
The whole kid in Kabuto needs to go because they're a threat to
democracy. So you're exactly right.
You're absolutely right. Something that's going to happen
because it's being talked about now.
They're already laying the ground for they're about to pack
that court they're talking about they're.
Doing anything to give themselves a cushion for the
future, They'll do and. We are going to pack the court.
Oh, baby, yeah. We are going to pack that
freaking court I. Was.
Going to say the Republicans already did.
It's already there. We're going to be in court.
We're going to add more seats. Oh yeah, and let me tell you,
the ones that are there better be careful they don't get
impeached if we get a majority. I'd like to see Clarence Thomas
'cause. There's a few of them in there
that we got there. He's got a lot of questionable
stuff on his record that you know what I'm specifically
we're. Starting his finances, let alone
the other. Let alone the other like
accusations, the rape accusations, all that other
stuff. You are absolutely right.
His financials should be called into question in every single
aspect. He is not going ahead and
holding himself to the way that the court should be holding
themselves and not recusing himself from certain cases.
And, you know, that might just be what it will be to wake some
people up because sometimes until it involves money, they
don't even realize it because it it doesn't affect them.
And that's something with all of that stuff is people don't think
about things and. So listen, I got to talk.
I've been dilly dallying around this story.
So this family have an only son. They have a very small home.
They have a master bedroom, they have a guest room and they have
the son's bedroom. They got family members that
like to visit them and they've been for years now this kid has
been dealing with these family members visiting and he has to
give up the room. So 2 days before their arrival,
not not two weeks, not a month before they get here, his mom
and dad tell him you got to give up your room.
This these family members are coming and they're bringing some
other people with them and you have to give up.
And he said, no, I'm not doing that.
I'm not giving up my room anymore.
And they're furious at him. They say that he's breaking
family tradition, that he's being disrespectful.
He said they can sleep in the living room and in the guest
room, 'cause I'm not. So the guest room can't hold
everybody. The guest room is very small, so
some of them would have had to sleep in his room and he would
have ended up sleeping in the living room.
But he says this is his, this is his explanation.
I have studies for school and I need my rest and I need a quiet
place to study. And you're going to pack this
house full of people and I'm not going to have any privacy as I
study for my schooling. So no, I'm not giving up my
room. Don't ask me.
I'm not doing it. I'm not cooperating.
And don't tell me this is your house, because this is my house
too, because I live here. Wake it up.
I didn't ask to be born. That part.
Parents do that all the time. But he's letting them have it.
And I'm like, listen, I don't know who this kid is, but I'm
all for it. I am very respectful of him.
I'm very respectful that he is handling this like an adult.
And this is what he also said. He said if they wanted that room
so badly they should have given me at least two weeks notice and
so that I could have found somewhere to go.
Not find somewhere to go. This boy is doing business.
Oh yeah, so I could have found somewhere else to go.
So you know what, if y'all don't want me here, let me know.
So he's like literally talking about y'all want to take me to
court for this? Y'all want to sue?
Me, I'm dead. So they the family members did
come and they ended up in the living room.
They all ended up sleeping in the living.
Room. But here's the thing about it.
It's like, why can't this family get like a hotel?
But he's that's the other thing. So there's a lot of tension in
the house. They say right now while this
was going on. So it's like everybody, nobody
speaking to each other. It's a lot of anger.
The the visiting family is upset with the boy and the parents for
not standing up to him. They're mad at him for putting
him in this. So there's a lot of tension in
the house. So, you know, people just make
themselves at home. Oh yeah.
It isn't like these are wealthy people, they have a very small
home. True.
You said it best, the next time you visit, do us all a favor.
Get a fucking hotel room. Yeah.
Don't put us in this situation. We're not responsible for your
conveniences and your comfort while you visit here.
And no tea, no shade. If you can't afford a hotel,
maybe it's not a good time to do a visit.
Yeah, you don't have the money. Maybe we maybe you should stay
home You. Obviously do not have the money
you have to stay with us and are sleeping on the floor in our
fucking living. Room.
Is this even a smart visit you're planning?
This is even smart after all. But I'm going to tell you, I
respect that kid so much. That's so fierce.
I love that. I, I, they, they have raised an
adult. That they have.
Raised an adult. His reaction was very adult.
I'm very, very sorry, but I'm not doing it this time.
And the reason is you did not give me enough time to prepare
because I could have found somewhere else to go.
And he dealt with it before. Many times.
You know so. Well, all through his childhood
he dealt with it right. And it's the same group, so he
doesn't say if there are sisters or if it's an uncle.
Cousin. Whatever, they're
inconveniencing him and Goddess and his reasoning is beautiful,
distracting me. I got to study.
I need my privacy, I need my space to study and oh and I need
to be able to sleep and I don't need a lot of noise around me
when they're walking around and moving around.
I got school in the morning. Yeah, I have stuff to do.
Girl, I love it. What do you think, Chris?
Little businessman. Honestly it it's very much a a
situation where the parents are acting like they own the child
and. You said that earlier today to
me and I thought that was exactly correct.
It's a very unfortunate thing that a lot of parents think that
they should be doing, and it's the same thing that happens when
it comes to trans children and them using their preferred
preferred name and pronouns during school.
A lot of parents think, oh, I own the child so I should be the
person who makes the decision as to what they're called and what
their pronouns are. That's not the case.
You're raising an other fucking human being.
This is a actual person. You can't go ahead and treat
them as if they're just some some of your property.
Well, I'm going to tell you that.
I'm going to say this kid made an adult decision.
Oh yeah. And he stood up to them and I
respect that. And that means when he goes out
into the workforce, he's going to stand up to people.
He's not going to, he's not going to be rolled over.
It's not what they say. When you roll, you roll.
Somebody. He's not going to be easily
rolled over. He's going to stand up for
himself and I respect. That that's a good thing.
You know what I mean? And don't tell.
Oh, and I love what he said. And don't tell me this is your
house, because I live here too and I didn't choose to be born.
But that's manipulation on the parents part.
I didn't choose to be born. But I say, but it's so true,
though he's right about that. Parents will do that all.
This is our house. That's our rules.
It is your house. But I live with you.
I'm your child. I'm not.
I didn't ask to go live here. Yeah, I wasn't hatched.
I'm your relative. I'm your blood direct blood
relative. I have your child so wild
talking about. I I the other thing that I don't
really understand is the the older generation who's OK with
having other people stay in their house.
I don't, I will never invite somebody to sleep in my house.
I'm honestly. Right there with you.
I hate having guests. I hate.
It, I mean, I'm fine with guests during the day, but that's
different. I rarely if if I'm doing a
sleepover, like I have to trust you, I have to know who you are.
I have to know that you're not going to steal my shit.
I have to know that you're not going to go ahead and make
yourself at home to the point where it's uncomfortable.
Would you go to that house knowing that the kids said no?
'Cause you know no. You know the kids, the parents
had to tell them. No I would not.
That's actually such a good point.
And that family still showed up. Young brother sleeping in the
living room. Wow.
Sleeping in the living room, on the floor, all over the place.
And you're right about the tension in that house.
Well, he said that the article said it of the tension could cut
it with a knife. Nobody nobody is speaking to
anybody. The the family that's busy is
mad at the the the two parents, right, because they won't stand
up to their kid. The two the kid is married at
their parents and the family for putting him in that situation.
So they're mad at the family for visiting because they're
fighting now with their kid because of them.
Because this is a Why don't y'all get a freaking hotel?
Just get a hotel. Well, it's a as a, you know,
former child, I literally. A former child.
As a former child I would use my room as a safe haven and having
other people saying in my safe haven makes it not a safe haven.
So true. Anyways, let's move on.
Southwest Airlines has banned all human like or animal like
robots from both carry on or checked baggage regardless of
size or purpose. The airline says policy change
followed several recent incidents involving passengers
trying to fly with humanoid robots.
In one case, a passenger brought bought a separate seat for a
human a humanoid robot on a Southwest flight out of Oakland.
That robot reportedly delayed the flight after the airline
staff determined its lithium battery was too large to meet
safety rules. Another incident out of Las
Vegas captured on Instagram showed a robot causing confusion
during boarding. SW ultimately allowed both
robots on board at the time. The 1 passenger had to remove
the robot's batteries before flying the FF FAA says lithium
batteries are banned from checked bags because they can
overheat, and they data shows that there have already been 29
verified lithium battery in incidents involving smoke, fire
or extreme heat in 2026. SW says the robot ban is meant
to remove confusion about what passengers can bring onto planes
as May no I robot for you. Yeah, at least the robots aren't
going to be taking over the airlines.
Well, that's a good thing. I, I, you know the battery,
every problem is really, really scary.
I just saw a movie not too long ago where the battery, there was
an always an international flight and there were over 233
passengers on board the ship on the plane and they were crossing
the ocean and the lithium battery inside of the hold of
the ship underneath caught fire. And the crate that it was in
caught fire and then that crate ignited another crate and it
created a firestorm underneath. When the fire started, they
registered the fire on their screens in the cockpit and one
of the pilots went down into the hold to to put the fire out
because the fire extinguishers weren't strong enough to put it
out. The fire extinguishers came on,
but it weren't strong enough to put it out.
So when he went down there to spray the right, the lithium
battery exploded and blew a hole on the and he blew out the hole
and all the all the luggage flying out the hole and that
caught caused the ship to destabilize and they went it's a
movie though, but they went into the water.
That is insane. That's what we need to be scared
of. They went into the water and
they were in that water for about 24 to almost 48 hours.
I was shark circling that, that, yeah.
So out of 233 passengers, only 37 survived.
Speaking of sharks, you know how I I've, I take that boat, the
little 13 foot skiff like 20 miles offshore sometimes that.
Bathtub that. He the little bathtub that I
drive in. Yeah.
For some reason my TikTok page
has been non-stop people in those similar boats being
surrounded by sharks. Your TikTok is listening.
The TikTok is watching. TikTok, you don't stop.
TikTok, you don't stop, but it's it's.
That's what, that's what Rosie O'donnell's easy with Rosie
O'Donnell, she goes she but she puts her mouth together.
She goes TikTok. You don't stop.
She's not wrong. She like puts it in her lips
real tight, her talk, talk, don't stop.
Well, I just, I feel like I, I feel like the bad vibes are are
coming around through TikTok with those sharks.
I don't like that. I don't like the vibe.
Well, we haven't even been out on the boat recently in a while.
Well, I'm gonna tell you, you gotta be really careful.
Oh, yeah. Because those things are, you
know, they're. Well, we're more prepared now,
but we when we went 20 miles off last time.
We got some big sharks in the water.
We didn't have any radio, we didn't have.
We had flares, we had life jackets and everything.
But Sean? Sean was.
Listen, a life jacket in that water is basically me going to a
sushi restaurant and you dangling the sushi over my mouth
like. Literally.
OK, that life wrap is just to keep you alive.
You long enough for the shark that wants to eat you.
Live baby. Well, Sean was the one who was
going swimming in it. Sean was swimming in it, no?
You could, you won't. See, I can't do that.
I I call this old people fears. Old people fears.
Yeah. Yeah.
Like when you get old, like my age, I'm 65.
So when you get to my age, you start getting scared of
different things. Like I couldn't do that.
No, I wouldn't do that. Oh absolutely not.
I wouldn't. It's just like when people
skydive. Oh hell no.
I am not jumping out of no plane.
No, on a skydive. Nope.
Oh, you know what I really want
to do? I want to start trying clip
drive clip diving. No, no, I'm not.
I'm not diving, jumping off no Cliff.
I wanna, I'm brave, but I'm not that brave.
No, I'm not jumping off no Cliff.
The bravest thing I do is put on ladies makeup and high heels.
Well, Lexi, the the other thing that the 20 miles isn't even
really that big of a deal. We took the 13 foot across the
Sunshine Skyway and ended up basically dragging a 30 foot
sailboat across the Tampa Bay channel, the mouth of Tampa Bay
and we there was literally a. 20 miles out is scary.
It was scary. But you could technically swim
it to shore. You could, but I'm going to tell
you. I don't know if you gonna make
it. I'm not gonna make it.
Miles, that is. 20 miles, people have done things well.
Some people what people don't realize.
Also, 20 miles. You don't got no self-service
either. You are so far away from the
land that your phone is on SOS mode and only the satellites
work. And yeah, you're you're kind of
shit out of luck. Nice.
And scary. That is really scary. 20 miles
is the that's the drive in itself.
You know what I mean? 20.
Miles is a long time. Yeah, you could swim it, but I
mean you, I don't know. It's.
Like about two hours to get there, 3 hours to get there out
out that far. That's like that, that island.
What's that island that had the prisoners starts with an A
Alcatraz. Alcatraz, Yes, and people would
try to swim to the shore. I wonder how long that was
'cause they could never make it because the currents would send
them in different directions. Yeah, that's the problem.
It's the currents and then the and then the the this, you know,
those, the, the aquatic creatures, I mean, yeah, sharks,
you know, you're in their house. People say I can't believe that
I got bit by a shark. You're in their house.
Yeah. Mm.
Hmm. You're inside their house.
That's where they live. You don't got gills, they have
gills. Yeah, that's where they live.
What you know, what's really gotten really scary now and then
I, I keep hearing about it more and more and it's starting to
really scare me is the crocodiles that get inside the
beach. Oh my goodness, they're
everywhere. I'm like, I'm not clear at that.
So this lady's on the beach swimming and the husband is
screaming, like trying to signal and she thinks he's joking.
And the crocodile had his mouth open.
He was heading straight towards her and she's in the beach water
and he's screaming at her. And she finally realized that
and she ran and she started swimming and, and, and was able
to escape, but. Don't they not like salt water?
Like why are they even? Apparently they can breathe salt
water too. I did not know that.
What the what? House lawmakers have introduced
A bipartisan proposal that would charge electric vehicle owners a
new $130.00 annual fee to help pay for Rd. repairs and Hwy.
infrastructure. Plug in hybrid owners would pay
a smaller yearly fee, a fee of $35.
The bill would gradually raise those fees starting 2029,
increasing by $5 each year until EV owners pay $150.00 annually
and plug in owners pay $50 dollars.
Supporters say the idea is aimed at replacing gas tax revenue
that EV drivers largely avoid. Because they obviously don't
pay. They don't buy gasoline.
The legislation also includes new safety rules for autonomous
commercial vehicles like buses and trucks.
Autonomous school buses carrying children under the bill could
still be required to have a human driver on board.
Passenger self driving cars would not be covered by the
proposed federal safety standards in the bill.
And the debate over EV fees has been growing nationwide because
of this. Apparently they say that the
electric, an EV driver pays about less than $88.00 that they
would usually pay in federal gas tax.
So they don't pay that $88 anymore.
So that's why they would like to go ahead and and get that money
back basically through the tax. Punish them.
Basically punish. Them for punish them for.
Doing good. By by doing something that helps
with the environment. But I'm going to be honest, this
administration doesn't care about science, the environment
or anything like that. Well, this is the.
House. This is the house.
This isn't something thing that Trump is pushing.
This is, this is something that is bipartisan and it's in the
House. So it is it's it's not the
specific administration's attempts, but.
I don't think we should punish people that have electric cars.
Oh, no, I disagree. I think that if if you want to
have an electric vehicle, you should be entitled to the
benefits that come with it. And that's not paying the
federal gas increase like or federal gas tax.
But also, like, isn't that stuff supposed to go toward, like, get
like how we get gas, Right. And it's like, there's no means
of getting electric for a car besides just electricity.
Electricity, you know? So, yeah, well.
Obviously, you know, this is all proposed, so we'll see what
happens. We'll see what happens.
An Iowa man is suing Nintendo after he claims that he was
denied being an official Pokémon professor even though he scored
a 100% on the required exam. The lawsuit says the
certification was initially denied because of a low level
Illinois felony from more than 10 years ago found during a
background check. After he challenged the
decision, the lawsuit claims Nintendo and the Pokémon Company
International shifted their reasoning and pointed to 3
Pennsylvania misdemeanors that did not result in guilty
findings. The man, 34 year old Kyle Owens,
argues that the changing explanations show arbitrary
decision making and inconsistent standards.
Owens says being denied Pokémon Professor status cost him access
to special tools, event hosting privileges, customer traffic and
other business opportunities tied to the role.
He's asking for $341,000 in damages and wants the court to
officially grant him his Pokémon Professor certification.
What? I didn't even know that you
could become a certified Pokémon Professor.
That's who's who's like who's this overhead person that's
saying these people are professors?
Like that's. Nintendo.
Oh, this is a Nintendo. Thing this is officially
Nintendo. Wow.
He is suing Nintendo and The Pokémon Company International
for this. Esme.
Do you have any thoughts? Are are you wanting to be a
Pokémon Master I? Just think it's so silly though.
It's a very silly lawsuit. But I'm going to be honest,
Pokémon people that do the Pokémon thing, they take it so
seriously. Very much.
Yeah, well, Exhibit A, this. Guy like you know.
I mean $341,000 in damages. Jesus.
Same thing. It's the same thing.
But you know, I can only compare it to like, Star Trek fans.
Like I'm a Star Trek fan. Yeah, Star Wars fans too.
They take. Oh yeah.
Very serious. Oh yeah.
You know, whoa, the. Lord, the this the that.
Well, did you see that in this movie?
That this part. And take it so serious.
Yum Yum. I was like, God, even in the
movie theater I was watching people just cheering and.
Here they dress up. They.
Yeah. Just they take it so serious.
So you know, the thing with Pokémon is when I.
Hear the word? You sound like a boomer.
When you set up Pokémon, it's Pokémon.
Yeah, when I, when I when I think of Pokémon, I think no.
But when I think about it, I think about hey, poke me, Poke
me, man, Poke me, man. You know, that's what I'm
thinking. But also like, isn't this
supposed to be like a fun activity and we're turning it
into this like it's becoming not fun?
It's like, what do the kids say? Sometimes they go, girl, it's
not that. Same.
That serious? Not that.
Deep. I hear the kids say that like,
yeah, like you'll be upset over they go, girl, it ain't that
serious. Seriously, it ain't that
serious. Calm down, touch some grass.
Yeah, right. Yeah, some grass girl.
Get in touch with nature. Ground yourself.
Walk a trail. Walk a trail.
Look at the sun. Or maybe don't, I don't know.
Yeah. That's funny, yeah.
Miley Cyrus received the 2800 and 45th star on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame during a ceremony in Los Angeles on Friday.
Cyrus called the honor an accumulation of devotion and
said my name is laid in gold and pink terrazzo.
The in the story actually, it was actually really surprising.
They said Wrecking Ball was the first number one hit that Miley
Cyrus had despite having all the Hannah Montana success and
everything like that. I genuinely thought she had more
hits before Wrecking Ball, but it does seem wrong.
But, but don't forget that she won her first Grammy in 2024.
And that is so true. Literally so surprising she's
been around though for so long and like she's so young still.
She's so talented. Is and you know, she's she's one
of those. She reminds me a lot of a modern
day Stevie Nicks. Oh, I love that she.
Has that kind of gravelly voice, yes, but it's so sexy.
Textured too. It's.
Textured. Yes.
Yeah, I'd love that about her. She's stunning and she and she
loves the gays. She loves the gays, and she
knows all these like Drag Race girls.
She knows them by name. Messy either.
No, she's not. Messy with drugs or do you know
what I'm saying? Do you know that even in her
Wrecking Ball era, like her mom was her manager and everyone
would be like, where's this girl's mom?
And she's like literally on tour with me.
Like, my mom's right here. Like she's.
She's not messy at all, no. No, she's, she's such a such a
grounded person and really knows who she is, you know, and it's
honestly, again, crazy. Everything in her career took so
long, like the, the, the the star and the Walk of Fame.
To me, that's crazy 'cause it's like I feel like that's
something that I I feel like she should have already had.
Yeah, but one. Of her cast mates who played, a
young teenage boy was actually in his 30s.
Yes, yeah. I was very shocked at that.
I always thought he was like a little kid, but he's not.
Conditioned or something like. Yeah, yeah.
I was like, Oh my God. Wow.
So when he got the gig, he lied about his age.
Jason Earls. And then they found out about
it. Yeah, Jackson Stewart, Jason
Earls by. The time they found out about
it, the TV show had the the IT was groundbreaking.
They had broken through. So they pulled him into the
office and they said, listen, we know what's your secret?
And he goes, what is that? He goes, you lied about your age
and. Yeah, he's crazy.
He. Looks like a little kid.
But also like if he looked the part, I mean, I guess he was
just trying to really store himself.
He really looked the part. He still looks like a kid.
That's like the kid from Malcolm in the Middle.
Not that kid is, you know. Well, Stephen Colbert is
officially off of the television.
What a great goodbye to him. But he he returned to late night
television for one special appearance on Michigan Public
Access program Only in Monroe. The appearance mirrored a
surprise visit he made to the same show in 2015 before
launching The Late The Late Show.
After after his last show, which featured appearances from Paul
McCartney, Ryan Reynolds, Jon Stewart, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth
Meyers, he went ahead and I, I just lost what I was reading.
My God. Oh, oh, but excuse me, that's
what it was. Donald Trump went ahead and
reposted an AI video of him throwing Colbert in a dumpster.
And a dumpster I saw. Him with these AI videos, he's
like a child. It's so weird, he's.
Just said angry. He's very immature.
He embarrasses us on the, on the national stage and he
embarrasses on the international stage.
Our president is an embarrassing human being.
I mean, it's very sad. It really is.
You know, it's just some, it's unbecoming behavior of a, of an
office that that has always held such respect around the world.
Very sad anyway. I got one more topic before we
want to go ahead and wrap up. Sharon Osbourne and son Jack
Osbourne are creating an AI powered avatar of Ozzy Osbourne
10 month after the rock legend's death.
The project is a partnership with Hyperreal and Proto
Hologram announced at Licensing Expo 2026 in Las Vegas.
The digital version of Ozzy will appear as a life-size hologram
that can interact and speak with fans.
The hologram is expected to launch later this summer in both
the United Kingdom and the United States.
Sharon compared the idea to Elvis Presley's lasting cultural
presence, saying that she wants people to continue remembering
Ozzy Osbourne the same way. No, no, when, when you die, you
die. Whether or not you want to go
ahead and put up a, a, a video of you being fake and being a
fake person, that's fine. That's not a real fucking
person. Just let him fucking die.
Like you can go ahead and do all these like different things with
this person to talk about how he's his lasting legacy, all of
his music and everything like that without going ahead and
using some random hologram. Like I, I always felt I found
that weird when Michael Jackson started.
Like there was accusations or not accusations.
There was times where he was doing hologram stuff, like if
you remember that, yeah. And ABBA died, Yeah.
And they did one of. Oh.
The in the. Steer, they did one of Whitney
Houston, which was really good. Yeah, the one of Whitney was
great. It looked like she was really
there. But I just I don't have been in
this interactive situation 'cause I think it seems very
unique. So with AI, they can really do a
lot of stuff now. They can make those holograms
talk back to you and everything. I don't like that.
Yeah, like there's a they have their art that they made in
their lifetime. So they, what they do is, is
they, they take recorded vocals, they piece it together and they
splice it and they, it sounds like the person is there
standing talking. Also, no offense comparing to
Elvis is a little brave but. Yeah.
You know, true. Got a lot of people, girl.
A lot of people live in fantasy worlds.
Yeah. You you work in a place where
there's a lot of fantasy. Oh baby, delusion is the name of
the game. No, but but it's not delusional
there. The fantasy there is generating
millions and millions and millions and millions and
billions of dollars.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Yeah.
So the so it's not a delusional no Mickey.
Mickey is very real. Oh yes.
And he is generating real money. Yeah, yeah, it's.
Crazy. It's why it's it's insane.
It's play time, but for us, those of us that visit the park,
but it's. It's work for.
Us it is work, but it's also it's a business that's a that's
a thriving yeah the Disney brand is exceptional.
I've, I've always been a fan. I hate when people try to say,
oh, Disney, that Disney's always been a great brand and.
What people don't realize is Disney is running all of this.
They just don't know. Disney owns radio stations.
Disney owns news stations. There's a reason you don't hear
about tragedies in their park, girl.
Of course. And Disney owns a good portion
of Orlando. Oh yeah.
They pay for all the cleanup and everything.
Orlando is there because. Of Disney all those interstates
get repaired and fixed because of the Disney so that you can
have a beautiful Yep Oh yeah Yep side of the road cleaning
everything all done by Disney. They're magical.
