Transcript

Good morning, Welcome to February. For it, I'll be Kevin Turner, Danny Baalist, Mike's Roy JJ Jackson and we are going to a party at nine ten our week of wild guests. Here on the Freak continues with Sarah Abraham. You don't know who that is? Look it up, you know, let you know who that is in cognito. Look it up. Yeah, if you want to. But you's off over the news right now.

Well she's she's in the news, not all over. She's in the news former sixteen and Pregnant star, then teen Moms Star, and then Backdoor teen Mom star. But she's actually very passionate about an interesting topic regarding social media children nine tens. They scrub the original Backdoor teen Mom off the internet. I think you had to pay for it, so yeah, probably I never paid for it back in the day, you know. I think she got in right before the porn bubble burst. When did that happen? I think

in the last ten years. What does that mean? Well, if you're a porn star and you made you know, you were making big money by doing big films like Pirates in the two thousands, and then you get to the world where the Internet really took off, like really took off. Not it exists and we know where to find things, like it became habitual with our use. I think twenty ten is around the line of that. We can debate that and everyone's many of their own answer. Around twenty ten is

when the Internet was clearly an habitual form of our lives. Well, that began the wave of all access. All you can get for free, a free buffet of porn if you will, golden corral of adulicious content, and that would make things special things. Then it might have been produced or had a bit of a storyline to it or a gimmick to it like that,

that would make it a little obsolete. And now only fans is like, yeah, if you're a porn star, why would you put anything You may put some teaser content, why would you put anything on the hubs or the hamsters? And I can charge you on OnlyFans and people are they end up just ripping the only fans content anyway and hosting them on sitesh keV. Yeah, so this is where it gets very odd. So some people do do that, but they can come they try to try to fight that and take

it down. The cops are always a the robbers are always ahead of the cops. Yeah, no, that's true. And you know that's why Chinese hackers are trying to get into our water system. And there's a lot of things you can talk about with that. That's something we are behind on.

But the element of being a star making money off of that is not as I mean, they'd tried it with Octomom too, you know, not octumom too, like there was a sequel because like octo Mom, here's a bunch of money for you to go in a room by yourself, and like that's

not needed anymore. That is one thing that you kind of forget about when the music industry collapsed and you know what late late nighties, early two thousands, when all of the yeah, the peer to peer software came out and you could just download whatever you wanted and then streaming like adult films, you have to go into the little room and rent them and the owners of the video store would buy them and then that's how they make their money on multiple

rentals. Gross, you wore rubber gloves hand on those VHS tapes these songs. Yeah, but now it's like you can get everything for a very cheap subscription or free, and you'd wonder how they monetize that. Is it off of click click on ads or what? Do you think That's the one the world will officially when Kevin's World War III will officially begin when some politician comes after the porno the whole way that you know, we're already what getting rid

of books. That's a real cool twenty twenty four thing. Yeah, politician. I mean there's certainly anti porno, you know, legislation and arguments and I guess yeah, but down all internet porn in our state. I think it's really funny that because that's where the line is drawn, where then no one wants that no, but half the people have to pretend. Yeah, Mike Fence acts like he's never he's never watched porno. Mike Fence has never watched porno. Mike Fence once said, once said he would not go to

a party without his wife there. And I was like, that's wild, because that sounds like someone who has definitely messed up before in the past. Yes, it's like the when people have the joint email account or the joint Facebook account. I always said that when you see the the guy and the lady where their Facebook account or their social media's or them together. Dude cheated, Yes, yeah, so porno, yes very but you're you're right,

like that's something that it's now, but they used to say. I mean, Cuban had that line hogs get slaughtered ten years ago, talking about the NFL getting to you know, turning into greedy pigs. He uses that for everything, for investments and are they oh he does pigs get fed, hogs

gets left? Okay, okayhich I think is actually pretty good, it is, But I think his context of that, at least when he said it on and the sports world, was about the NFL and the NFL being too much and they take over Thursday night, So what's next to you take Friday

night? Wednesday? Will eventually you've overdone it. And with porn, it's just always there, and now there's too much of it and everyone's gonna find a way to get what they want, except for the ones who are truly sick and have to do horrible things like one thing that Fair Abraham is going to discuss with us, I think yours people dming her sixteen year old daughter, just like, why are we telling kids they can't be on social media.

Why don't we police those people? It's interesting. So Florida social media, Oklahoma is trying to get rid of porn. They are, I mean there are there are people who are. It's not going to happen. Fully you get rid of it, you don't, you try to? Well, okay, the same way I can't go to like a gambling site and gamble in Texas, Like I can go to strategy websites, but I can't get

to a gambling site. Right. They have ways to Yeah, there's ways to get around it, and everyone knows those ways for the well, not everyone knows those ways. Intognito? Does that work? Changing your VPN? I mean you already lost me. I don't changing my VPN. I don't know. I don't know how to do that. It's like a state restrictive thing, like if you fall, if you're right, we're pinging it off different towers. Right. Uh? Well, I mean okay, so you

have your IP address private network. I don't what it's called. You can limit your your range of what you can search depending on what region you're in. That's how they can like different countries that have like strict bands on whatever. American content are there in China, they're there. They have very limited internet access. Are their countries with no porn? I don't know. I would TheInk from a week ago Mike Oklahoma proposal would make watching porn a felony.

Oh my god, that's not. Senator Dusty Devers has a bill that's going to be introduced here in February, and this is coming up, and it would prohibit consuming or producing sexual contact that lacks serious literary it's just further's that narrative, traditional views things like that. So a lot of countries are have restrictive internet and pornography laws. Iran, well they had to, they sent we'll see. They censored news media and most social media, including Facebook

and pornography is not available. Many Muslim majority countries, Katar, Syria, Turkmenistan, Turkey, Pakistan, Oman Eritrea and the UAE take a similar approach when that the story protect Islamic values. VPNs can offer can often be access though, so people in those countries can get around government censorship. Didn't Osama bin Laden when that's the story, when they went down zero dark thirty style into the into the spider hole, and didn't they find just loads of boxes

of porn. What's the hypocrisy and all of it. The ones that are trying to ban it the most are the ones that are probably using it the Yeah, exactly Oklahoma or hey, Oklahoma, or self more dusty divers. That's why you have to just put dildos on the water tower, give easy

access to everybody who can't get ahold. But you know what I'm saying, It's like the ones that are the most proactive about banning stuff are the ones that are probably probably self flagellating themselves for with guilt, you know, for having those impure thoughts, you know, because they're not living up to some type of idealist religious standard. I could see the outrage of a guy getting arrested. This bill passes in Oklahoma. A guy gets arrested, he's got

to serve a year in prison on the felony of watching porn. And he's going to the courthouse. The TV cameras are there and he's like, he's Tom Ferguson's shooting questions to him, you know, as he's going to the court, he's like, I don't care. At least I can masturbate in prison, because you can't hear they did find a large, extensive pornography collection and Ben Lawden's spider Hole. Yeah, of course. And then the one was the nine to eleven attackers all went to strip clubs the night before and

right, everyone's lying. Yes, you want the person the more they're lying. What do they always hide behind? God? Yeah, the high wind, God, all this stuff about. You mentioned a minute ago the banning of books because we don't want our kids to read impure content. Well, let me ask you something. When's the last time you saw a fourteen year old walking around with a book that didn't say algebra on it. They weren't forced to books. Yeah, high school kids thinking about reading? Are they

still good? A lot of people hide behind family too. Yeah. People just lie and they had by their teeth. You ever see a person with good teeth, like real nice teeth. You're like, eh, what's going on? I don't know about that. You're saying people who take care of No, really, I know the ones that you're just like, there's no way those came stock. Yeah, with that model, that's ridiculous. Yeah,

it's a little weird, like super perfect white. Yeah. Yeah, when that's a bad person, you're saying, no, that I'm saying their hide in mind. Yeah, there's something something dark. They are sort of tragedy that they their teeth were all knocked out and they had to get oral surgery to fix them of theirs for the first time. What about that person? This seems like a low percentage thing that you just said, though, Is that what happened to him? Osama had Disney films, pornography and documentaries

about himself. Home, he's just trying to watch The Jungle Book. He's trying to watch Pirates, apparently had cars, Chicken Little and ice Age, Dawn of the Dinosaurs. It's so weird to think they loved Arry the cable guy. Well no, because he had four youngest children were all under the edge of ten it' down, So it's not like he was just watching ice Age and he's cracking up laughing. It is funny that these mythological you know people, we're just all dirt bags, even bin laden everyone. Yeah,

well, yeah, that's well documented. Do you think the internet was invented? Do you know? I mean out of six No, I mean like the first the official birthday of the Internet, like eighties, right, And they have some type of crappy connection in the eighties eighty nine, nineties. I watched Halt and Catch Fire on AMC. I know a little bit about the Internet. I remember a good friend of mine when he got his first real computer and AOL and was doing chat rooms and stuff like that. That

seemed like that was in the early nineties, mid nineties. Al chat rooms was very late nineties for me. Yeah, but you're applying it to us, which aired yeah, consumer, yes, yeah. January first, nineteen eighty three is considered the official birthday of the Internet. But if you look at the first ever computer communicated message to two different locations, October twenty ninth, nineteen sixty nine, ARPA net delivered its first message, a node to

node communication from one commuter computer to another. You know what the message said? What five zero eight eighty five? Boobs? Yes, boobs backwards. The first computer was at UCLA and the second was at Stanford, So those are hundreds of miles away each. Each one was the size of a small house. I remember when I got I was in the Air Force and I got web TV. Remember that, Yeah? Web TV? Yeah. I think I saved up money because I was in my little dormitory and right at

the the store on the on the base web TV. I haven't thought about that in twenty years, at least web TV. I remember how it worked you basically you were born. Yeah, it was a keyboard that it just made your TV screen the Internet and you switched the in just like you still do. And that's pretty ahead of the time. Man back then though. And my friend Matt, that big boy who we've had on before, My buddy Matt who lives in town here, who was in the Air Force with

me and tells embarrassing stories about me, which I love. I did to get him back up, including when I was trying to return a porn to the porn shop in Tucson and I got there at like twelve oh five am and they closed and I banged on the door and I said, hey, open up, and we're closed, and I'm like, it's Mike. And then you hear the dead bowl unlock. I said, it's Mike. I know what I want, and they let me in. I know what I want. I'm not going to shop around. I know what I need.

But he was with me when he helped me set up the web TV in my dorm room. You know, you finally get it on and it's like, okay, input, we're here. And I think I did it to make him laugh. But like the first four letters I typed in with po all are in enter and everything. I don't even know. It wasn't one much rush. We're all spoiled. Now's very organized. Like if you're if you click anything and you're at home or here and you have to wait five

to eight seconds. Is this sucks? And then meanwhile in two thousand and one, you're trying to download the new Lincoln Park record and it takes twenty four hours right right in Internet wasn't working. See now we're getting alerts on our phones. I told you guys, it's like yesterday, Amber still here. We got our Amberlert of the day to do it. Yeah. I don't know if we found that girl yesterday. I don't. This is thing do they do inroverts to tell you found? Yeah, follow up, good

news, everybody, have a great day. We found her Amberleert. One second ago, missing child in Little Elam, Texas. So this is Halton City time, Little Elm. These are hitting a little closer. This is for real child ten year old Blackmail Kylin Arnold, who is last seen wearing a white hoodie, dark joggers, and dark shoes called nine mill with information. That's a ten year old black mail in Little Elm, Texas. So man, that's concerning when all you have is the description of the child,

no car or it's usually a parent or an adult that takes them. I'm wearing I'm wearing a white hoodie and dark joggers today, Little Almar. That's a cream hoodie. I think creamy. I like it. Nick Creamer dress like Nick Creamer today? What arms up by the h by the new Omnipga Frisco Resort? Huh? I think it's right by it? Is it west of that? Nice? They have a little lake with a beach. Yeah, they have an actual beach. Is probably the only beach in the metroplex

in the National Video game Museums? Is that right? Yeah? Really it's in Frisco, but it's up that way. It'll spend enough time in Little Elm. Norman lives in Little Elm. Yeah, let's get norm on. Let's get a norm to go find this kid. He said that, Okay, he said that was Batman. He said what he said that yesterday? I get normal? I was thinking that like two nights ago. I think he would, but I don't want to put him in that position. You

don't know, my friend, Well, let me think about it. For those who don't know, Norman's gonna say radio Hall of Famer in this town. Mike used to work with him for many years. Well, we all used to work with him a little bit. Mike worked with him intimately, directly, intimately and directly for many a year. That's right, and I'm fortunate for it. Have an incredible man. I want him to come.

Oh, I love very much. I want him to come do the game, handicap the super Bowl for us. Okay, well you can ask him. I don't know. I have a relationship with him. You guys staying in touch with Norm's phone number in your phone, Kevin, ye're both you right, of course, guys talk much, No, not too much. But Norm's awesome because he's like me. It's like, what do we have to talk about? I love you. I don't need to call you to tell you or stay in touch. Do you feel like that about us every

day at six am? That I love you? No? The other thing, what do we have to talk about? Time? Is it? I do not have that feeling even jump around about that because some people listening to us take that literally, who who they know? We're a bunch of ass hats. He's taking anything we say literally kill buds in Dallas getting us all through the day together. That's it. We're not pretending we're something we're not. And no, we're not any different than the people listening. Don't say

something triggered. We're just good looking. Shake that tiny d. I saw a video yesterday of you guys playing golf together. You like to golf? Yeah, that's real friends hanging out off off the clock, little stuff man, The chemistry is real, folks. Kevin and Mike Siroy played golf together yesterday. Well, we both love golf. It was a beautiful day and I met half the Metroplex was racing to their neighborhood. Muni, Mike and I have played golf on and off together for fifteen years. Yeah, not

that big of a deal, except for the birdie putt. That was a big deal. I like that you guys do that. Well, there's something. I didn't invite you to play golf with us, and I know you don't play golf. No, you did, you did, But logistically it wouldn't have worked out because I had a Malcolm three year old check up yesterday, so we had to go to the doctor, had to go see doctor Tiffany. That went well, Yeah, TIFFs tree taff for Malcolm. He's just he's just a wild ass man. He didn't want to go to the

doctor and he a kid. Everybody know what that he just doesn't want to be I don't like doctor Tiffany. I don't like he's just laughy. This sucks. Does he did he get shots? No? No, he didn't get any shots this time. Like, how do you give a kid that age a shot? Especially that one? He's like a weasel. He's like a weasel on meth. Yeah. I love him so much. He's a cute kid. He's really cute, But dude, he is uninged. Does he not get shots annually or every few couple of years? I don't know.

I just feel like I don't like getting shots or geving blood blood drawn? Do they do that? Like how do you know blood? Three year olds to sit still for blood getting drawn? They don't give him I don't think they do. Like, uh, unless there's like any symptoms or something like that, they're not drawn blood and he's not at that age at where he needs like a that type of deep physical They just checked the lungs, the ears, teeth, nose, mouth, nothing that hurts. Ask questions

about stools and sleep patterns and stuff like that. Yeah, he's tall and big. You know, he's seventy five percentile in both height and weight, So he's a big kid. Probably. Yeah, he's going to be tall like as daddy. What if he he's the tight end that brings Knox City their second state championship. Uh, that'd be weird because he'd have to go to school there. And I'm hoping for him if you have to get if you have to take him, Malcolm in Knox City, something that's gone terribly

wrong. It's like a magnet. We're all drawn back to our homelands. Okay, and you will return at Knox City the prodigal son. Uh huh to do? What to bring Malcolm and championships? Let's chimiship his last forever too? Man, It's why isn't that in small towns everybody's tiny? You ever noticed that I was sick too, and weighed like one hundred and forty pounds, and I was the tallest kid in school, you're the great white Hope. Oh my god, six to two early, you're the talleskin in

school at six two. Yeah, man, everybody was like five five or five eight. Small towns just have a less variety of DNA, you know what I'm saying. It might be that, and we're a long enough timetable, it might be. Uh. I wonder if there's some any science to that, because I was gonna make a joke about there's less resources and food, but clearly it is weird. But if you look at a one hundred

or five hundred years, that's probably that's true. I remember that small towns though we would play against sometimes there was certain schools you're like, god, those kids are huge, like how the same age, and then like Jacksborough, Yeah, those they were all huge. Back then was the bike the bigger the town, the bigger the kids. I remember the classes like ahead of mine, like having a bunch of giants, and then our class wasn't very You have lit of tall kids. It's a couple, but nothing crazy.

Every once in a while we'd play a town they just had the anomaly, like some kid that was just giant, the shoulder pads didn't go all the way to his shoulders, and the uniform didn't fit because he was just uncommonly big. But they never had any athletic ability at all. They were just baby Huey's out there helmets. But I think those are outliers. I think. But you're from smaller towns. There's a smaller pool of people, so there will be less large people, more people will be closer to the

average size. I think. Yeah, I don't know enough about it. But there's something about West Texas eating beef and grain or whatever, you know, like they're growing big out there, right. I had grain. I thank you grain. He's eating great. I don't know. Don't they say that. I think Mike's stereotype of all of us Texas just now is yes, I mean loop twelve grain. Hmmm, tasty grain? What is grain? Does that make bread? Bread? Does it? What is a grain?

Okay, smarts? Does anyone have an answer? Wheat is grain? That makes bread? Sure, there's all kinds of wheat. Sorghum unless of no one knows. I think sorghum it makes gum, sorgum, gum sorgum. That makes sense. I don't know Sorgum's great. All right, it's enough there to tell you this. Whenever get the sports. I know we got other stuff played, but I'm gonna alert people to massive international sporting news. Guy just texted about that, wanting to know, wanted to know the

answer. You know, you wake up and check your phone, and my news feeds are certainly different than yours due to some of my I got it is first thing I saw today, Absolutely monster international sporting news. I will lead sports at seven with all right, and then coming up the next most important thing in the world. Are we doing what I said? Yeah, okay, I ran in some traffic on the way in. You and me,

we both did. I saw the carnage, the wreckage. We had a massive police chase overnight that I believe started in Irving and ended tragically in Dallas. So if you're sitting in traffic, I can kind of tell you why. I we'll tell the story of what happened. And that's all next right here on ninety seven on the Free
