23. Oh, yeah.
24. I'm Phil Proctor.
25. And I'm Ted Bonnet.
26. And let's get those fighters out of here.
27. Thanks, fellas.
28. Yeah, good work, guys.
29. That's good.
30. Good going.
31. See you at the next insurrection.
32. I'm a woman.
33. I know.
34. You're not a woman, no.
35. Boy, they're confused, I tell you.
36. Did you see what Paul Krugman wrote today?
37. No.
38. Oh, man.
39. Paul Rudman?
40. Paul Krugman.
41. Now, is he a good guy or a bad guy?
42. Paul Krugman.
43. I'm so confused.
44. He's a good guy, right?
45. Oh, yeah.
46. He was a New York Times columnist forever.
47. Now he makes an absolute fortune on Substack.
48. He's a fifth columnist, and now he's stacking up his coins.
49. Yeah, and he wrote about how I have it all in my notes here.
50. He's got a lot of notes here.
51. There's so much to talk about.
52. But it's handwritten.
53. I don't know how you...
54. I can't read that stuff.
55. I can't.
56. You know, I don't...
57. Somebody ought to buy you a computer.
58. What?
59. What?
60. Okay.
61. Anyway, he was talking about how it was – okay.
62. He wrote today, today's oligarchs, by contrast to the dignified –
63. The yesterday's oligarchs?
64. Yes.
65. Have largely given up on the old norms of social and individual responsibility.
66. They give very little money to good causes, and their vulgar taste reflects their in-your-face attitude towards the public.
67. You know, I can tell that your dog, Luna, is very upset.
68. Yeah, she's growling at that.
69. When she hears the word oligarch, she starts growling.
70. Yeah, she snarls and gargles.
71. But he summed up by saying,
72. in our current hyper-gilded age, extreme vulgarity and the decline of philanthropy
73. are really different aspects of the same phenomenon.
74. Why don't we just start speaking Latin again?
75. The rise of the elite so disconnected from ordinary Americans
76. that it feels no need to even appear to be honorable.
77. Well, of course not.
78. It's not interesting.
79. It hasn't paid off for us.
80. What, being honorable?
81. No.
82. It's true.
83. Well, there's a lesson there, isn't there?
84. Well, this is our swan song show for the season.
85. We're taking our summer break.
86. Yeah.
87. So our last day of school.
88. It's the last day of school, so we don't have any guests.
89. It's like, remember your last day of school when you would go and there was like, you knew nothing was going to get accomplished.
90. Yeah, and you were happy to know that.
91. Yeah.
92. And so here we are.
93. With lots of notes, though.
94. There's lots to talk about.
95. But we also want to speak to our listener.
96. And you know who you are.
97. Yeah.
98. And if you can remember, I know you probably have a rotary phone.
99. But what's the number that they have to call?
100. I would think that our listener is probably in a phone booth somewhere.
101. Yeah but that true You know a real throwback And what does that cost now Yeah I think so per minute 818
102. Which is conveniently KPFK, right?
103. Yeah, and we're not asking for money today.
104. We aren't?
105. Yeah, we're actually giving out the phone number and not asking for anything but your comments.
106. Oh, be still, my heart.
107. And your adoration and snide remarks.
108. Yeah, I'd like to know what shows people enjoyed in the last season.
109. We had a good season.
110. I thought we had some pretty interesting shows.
111. We had some very interesting guests.
112. We do say so ourselves.
113. Yeah, and even my remote call-ins from the East Coast were a lot of fun.
114. Yeah, especially that one we did from the bathroom.
115. No, that was in the shower.
116. You actually were in the bathtub.
117. I was in the bathtub for that one.
118. That's the magic of radio.
119. Oh, by the way, speaking of past shows, this weekend we did our show with Ogle Popol on the Ukrainian situation and the kids have been kidnapped.
120. Olga and some other folks will be at a press conference downtown.
121. More of an event.
122. Yeah, it is really at Gloria Molina Park.
123. They have a display at 200 North Grand this Saturday.
124. A powerful visual installation of 20,000 teddy bears will be on display in Molina Park with each bear representing a Ukrainian child that was abducted by Russia.
125. Oh, so it's not a teddy bear's picnic.
126. No, but it's to bring home the point that it's still happening.
127. But you know what? It just seems as though Trump and Putin are shrinking.
128. Yes.
129. You know, they are shrinking in their own respective ways.
130. Russia's losing ground.
131. Yep, it's diminished.
132. Despite losing, what, 1.4 million soldiers so far?
133. Yes, they're losing all their young boys again.
134. 1.4 million.
135. Ужасно, вы знаете.
136. Невозможно понимать, что случается.
137. Easy for you to say.
138. And now they have, you know, and Ukraine, man, they are just such survivors.
139. They have revolutionized warfare.
140. They are now the makers of modern warfare, which are inexpensive drones, relatively speaking.
141. And they're penetrating into Russia.
142. And Russia is, Putin is doing his thing and bombing that beautiful church, you know.
143. Oh, my God.
144. Anyway, and Trump, that's what we want to do.
145. We want to talk to our listeners today.
146. It's like we're going to do sort of the betting market out there, the futures market.
147. Oh, I find that to be absolutely horrifying.
148. It is horrifying.
149. And I thought, well, what better way to then qualify or quantify Trump?
150. And I think we should ask our listeners.
151. Bet on his longevity?
152. What are the odds that Trump's going to be in office when we come back at the end of the summer?
153. From our break?
154. Yeah.
155. Oh, that would be, give us a break.
156. So we'd love to hear that.
157. And what else, you know, and what are you doing this summer?
158. What are your plans for this summer?
159. Are you going to camp?
160. Yeah.
161. You know, that kind of thing.
162. Are you going to leave your apartment?
163. Mm-hmm.
164. Are you going to leave your apartment and get out in some sunshine?
165. That's what we want to know from you, the listener.
166. 818-985-5735.
167. Great basketball.
168. Boy, and I'm not a basketball fan, but boy, was that a great series.
169. I heard.
170. I still can't get into sports.
171. It's a tragic thing, but it's true.
172. But, yeah, it seemed like, just vicariously seemed like they were really nail-biting games.
173. Great athleticism.
174. I had heard that the Knicks were this amazing machine as a team No breakout stars but just all stars A little like us Yeah that it And Jalen Brunson who is
175. the, I think he's the team captain, but he
176. was the star of the Knicks.
177. And I saw them on the Fallon
178. show last night, and they're just such sweet
179. guys, or at least they come off as genuinely
180. good people. Humble.
181. it was just great to see New York
182. so happy. I know, I got a kick
183. out of that too. Considering what's going on,
184. It was great to see New York.
185. It was a great relief for the folks back there.
186. Yeah, it did still.
187. Now, is it true that the Knicks got their name from a razor company that originally sponsored them?
188. You're asking me?
189. Yeah, the Knicks from the razor company that.
190. Well, it's Knickerbocker.
191. Oh, the beer.
192. Oh, knock, knock for Knickerbocker.
193. Knickerbocker beer.
194. See, I guess only New Yorkers would remember that.
195. Old New Yorkers.
196. I mean, you're a walking museum.
197. I was in New York in like 45, you know.
198. I'm still alive.
199. This is not the answer.
200. The answer is the Knicks are short for Knickerbockers, which originates from loose-fitting, knee-length trousers worn by early Dutch settlers in the 1600s.
201. Of which you should know that.
202. I was a member.
203. My family came over to Manhattan in 1632 and had five acres of farmland on Wall Street.
204. And they wore Knickerbockers.
205. I didn't know that.
206. Wow.
207. and wooden shoes for industry.
208. It wasn't, apparently, was not good.
209. See, you learn good things on this show.
210. That's right.
211. This is stuff you can take home with you.
212. Knickerbockers.
213. Clothing.
214. Who knew?
215. I thought it was razor blades.
216. I was a fool.
217. No, that's Victor Keim.
218. Remember Victor Keim?
219. Yeah, and nicotine.
220. No, that's the drug that gets you addicted, nicotine.
221. Right?
222. Hey, don't laugh at me.
223. I know everything.
224. Hey, it wasn't all bad.
225. The Trump name came off the Kennedy Center.
226. Yeah, but it's hidden from view.
227. He's such a baby.
228. He's such a baby Huey.
229. He's covering it up.
230. He will not even allow us to see the revision of history.
231. I don't know.
232. He is a double negative.
233. Getting back to the prediction markets here,
234. I wonder, you know, I looked at him in a photo op over in France and, you know, major cankles.
235. You went over to France?
236. No.
237. No, I went via television.
238. Oh.
239. And he had, he really swole.
240. Well, television.
241. Television.
242. Well, it was not pretty.
243. And I think he's clearly.
244. He didn't look good is what you're saying.
245. He's not looking good.
246. But he's also clearly having some frontal temporal lobe issues that is very common to people who are suffering dementia, onset dementia.
247. Don't look at me like that.
248. I'm not looking at you.
249. Oh, that's right.
250. Because you're suffering from it too.
251. He is losing his mind.
252. What there is left.
253. I will predict that we will have him, the outbursts will continue.
254. And I think he's going to get to the point.
255. It's uncontrollable out there.
256. Yes.
257. I think he's going to become more and more profane than he even is now.
258. And the question is, how long can they let this go?
259. How long can they allow this to happen?
260. This is what's so amazing.
261. And it's on the 250th anniversary of the country, which I think is.
262. It so much the emperor has no clothes you know politically they purposely they his sycophants will avoid any kind of reality in order to aggrandize his ego even further
263. Oh, well, J.D. Vance is getting ready to take over.
264. He's putting out his book.
265. Communion.
266. Yeah, communion.
267. I thought it was commuting when he was, you know, spending time at home and going to the White House.
268. No.
269. Anyway, communion.
270. His conversion to authoritarianism.
271. Yeah.
272. It's very interesting.
273. I think what's going to happen is that we'll just completely, completely fall apart.
274. The whole movement will fall apart and splinter and fracture.
275. Well, something has to happen.
276. I actually heard on one of the news programs this morning this movement to alter the entire concept of the United States to, I guess, create the untied states of America.
277. You know, like the Northeast.
278. Pardon me.
279. The Northwest would become one separate state.
280. Sector R.
281. Right.
282. Sector R.
283. California would be Sector A.
284. You know.
285. and so it goes, you know.
286. So maybe it will.
287. We actually have some callers waiting to speak to us,
288. but we can't take the call right now.
289. Why? Because we can't afford it?
290. No, it'll be just a moment.
291. It's just a technical thing.
292. Because your call, please hold on,
293. because your call is very important to us.
294. Please listen carefully,
295. because our options have changed.
296. So, yeah, so the Kennedy Center, that's good.
297. I think, I don't know,
298. I think that that's the other thing I want to ask our audience.
299. What do you think the prediction is that we will get both the Senate and the House back in time for the midterms?
300. Is it possible?
301. Will it happen?
302. Is it possible?
303. And will the Democrats do something about it if they have the power?
304. Will we have Nuremberg-style trials?
305. I'm very impressed with this guy, Ossoff.
306. Pardon me.
307. That's a cough button, folks.
308. I'm really in good health.
309. and uh uh well and what's going on with uh newman or what's his name garrison newman
310. the governor newsome oh that's the guy wow yeah i have a little trouble you know keeping all these
311. people i can hear that um well yes i heard that he's under he came out yesterday very loudly that
312. the doj is coming after him and yeah i i like him i think he's very you know he speaks from the heart
313. and he calls Trump what he is.
314. I think, you know, but then I heard...
315. He's like Nazi.
316. PBS reported yesterday that it's not necessarily,
317. that Newsom might be deflecting it,
318. that it actually was, it is an investigation
319. that originated here in California.
320. I know.
321. So, I mean, who knows what's going to happen.
322. We're in such bad shape.
323. I admire him, I appreciate him,
324. but I don't think he's the guy.
325. Yeah, yeah.
326. I think there are...
327. Right now, to me, Ossoff is the most articulate young leader.
328. And Tallarico. Holy cow.
329. And Tallarico.
330. I think this is such a great thing about what's going to happen in Texas,
331. that these so-called Christians, these conservative Christians,
332. who have vilified anybody who disagrees with them,
333. are now faced with something only God could give you,
334. which is a choice between a con, a guy with a real checkered past, a MAGA guy,
335. and a Democrat
336. who's six generation Texan
337. not a vegetarian
338. not a vegan
339. who is
340. a man of the cloth
341. and he's
342. very
343. Very religious, but in a way that is not politicized.
344. Well, he's truly religious.
345. Yes.
346. And now the question is...
347. Listen, I was raised as a...
348. I'm Amish and Irish, which is an unusual combination.
349. But I was raised as a Protestant in Goshen, Indiana.
350. And to me, religion was community.
351. Right.
352. You know?
353. An opportunity to get together with your neighbors or the kids that I was playing with or kids I didn't know.
354. and eat some good food, you know, and praise the Lord.
355. I'm an optimist.
356. I think the 250th anniversary celebration of our country's founding
357. is a perfect time to reset and reboot.
358. Well, it's certainly...
359. You know how to reboot?
360. Kick these guys out of office.
361. Yes, sir.
362. Let's take our first call.
363. And by the way, you're welcome to call.
364. We want to talk to our listeners before we leave for the summer.
365. 818-985-5735
366. 818-985-5735
367. And when you get through, press 1.
368. And we have Jack from La Mesa.
369. Oh, hi, Jack. How are you?
370. Good. I hope you feel better.
371. Oh, there he is.
372. How are you?
373. Hey, Jack. How are you?
374. I'm terrible, Jack.
375. I've got this congestion, congestal flu that's going around.
376. and I heard just yesterday
377. that they had to cancel
378. a Broadway production of
379. some show
380. because too many of the
381. cast members were sick with this same
382. thing I have.
383. Rocky Horror Show.
384. I thought it was the plague.
385. It was a Rocky Horror Show.
386. I thought it was Black Death.
387. Black Death closed.
388. Oh, I see.
389. Hey, Jack, are you there?
390. I'm sorry, we're just babbling on here.
391. What do you want to know, Jack?
392. What can we do for you, sir?
393. I'm getting a little distortion. I can kind of hear you. Although I loved your show with Whitley Strieber.
394. Oh, yeah.
395. What an honorable man.
396. Yes.
397. And interesting story. It turns out I have a friend in New Mexico. Her mother knows Whitley personally.
398. Oh, cool.
399. Two or three steps of separation there, so it shows what a small world and how we're all connected.
400. I was interested in how you felt about the whole disclosure thing from our government and or, I don't know,
401. I don't know much about the Spielberg film, but that's kind of his territory, I guess.
402. Well, he's always been absolutely.
403. I know you guys, both you guys have experience with our interdimensional cohorts.
404. Yeah, we'll follow his in.
405. I think – well, I know Spielberg has always been fascinated with the subject.
406. I mean it's really driven him and I haven't seen the movie.
407. But of course the movie is about people who have information about the reality of aliens among us.
408. Yeah, I think it's like a typical chase movie.
409. And it becomes a suspenseful chase movie.
410. And no, I haven't seen it either.
411. But as to the government disclosure of this, I think it's a mystery.
412. It's an incredible ongoing mystery that I think undeniably means that we are not alone in the universe.
413. Undeniably.
414. And when I was closest to discussions with people who had had contact with aliens, supposedly, they basically told me that this is the plan.
415. The disclosure plan from the alien perspective is to over a long period of time slowly reveal so much of their presence that it will be undeniable to people when they finally reveal themselves which I always been told has to do with nuclear war
416. They don't want us to blow ourselves up for some reason.
417. I would feel just the opposite if I were the aliens.
418. Well, definitely nuclear.
419. But we'd hurt the planet.
420. Maybe that would spoil their plans for invasion.
421. I think nuclear explosions in space are very powerful, very powerful.
422. But, you know, my personal feeling about it is I think we are projecting ourselves a little too importantly.
423. Now, listen, your personal experience about it should be validating,
424. because you've been spending decades investigating UFOs, alien appearances, and other weird things.
425. I'd like to interview people who have had experiences.
426. Can I chime in here real quick?
427. Yeah, please do.
428. My mother was a stewardess for Braniff Airlines in the mid-50s out of Dallas,
429. and she saw a UFO very clearly, as did the pilots.
430. And I know generationally, just like ghosts, contact with interdimensional beings usually happens generationally.
431. Have your children or other members of your family also experienced similar experiences?
432. No, my children don't use drugs.
433. no frankly and i don't think they have any interest in my my granddaughter my daughter
434. uh has children and those are the children i'm referring to uh and nobody that i know in my in
435. my direct family is interested in in it or if they are spends any time thinking about it and i
436. i never had an experience per se i i saw a golden ball in england over a crop circle um and that
437. At the time when I witnessed it, I didn't sense it as extraterrestrial.
438. It felt earthly to me.
439. My feeling about it is, after speaking to all these people, is that it's almost unknowable.
440. And to even suggest that there is a consciousness or an intention to lull us into some sort of awareness is fanciful.
441. fanciful i i think that uh i think the reason it's so topical right now because it is fascinating
442. but i think it's particularly topical now is because our technology is forcing us to face
443. it because we're coming up with the sensor technology on radar and forward facing radar
444. systems that are so sensitive that we can see energetic uh objects what whatever they are
445. that will read on our infrared and our forward radar and it creates a safety risk for the pilots
446. and that's why it's become a story because we cannot deny the sensors and and what they're
447. telling us they're seeing and then it does back up people who have had personal experiences and i
448. firmly believe that the people i've interviewed did have these experiences and i don't think they
449. were internal i think they were external so but to say that uh there are any more understandable
450. than what we don't even know is in our own ocean.
451. We know so little about what's in our own ocean.
452. I don't know if they're doing anything for us in that respect.
453. I also think that we're in a situation in the world right now
454. where we are seeking a messiah again Some kind of outside in fact Well Jack we going to move on to we got some other calls coming in Thanks for the stimulating question And thanks for listening to Whitley By the way if you haven heard the Whitley Strieber interview
455. you can hear all of our shows on our website, sexyboomershow.com,
456. and on your favorite podcast platforms and YouTube.
457. And Whitley's interview is there as well.
458. Jack, thank you so much.
459. Have a great summer.
460. Harold from Santa Barbara.
461. Hello, are you there?
462. Or are you in the toilet zone?
463. I'm in the toilet zone for sure because...
464. He's flushed with excitement.
465. No, I mean, I have seen things within the last six years
466. that I not only can't describe,
467. but I have also witnessed,
468. and then people around me,
469. all like MAGA and law enforcement,
470. And they see it, but they deny it so they can gaslight me.
471. If that makes sense, please explain it to me.
472. Ted, you've had experiences with law enforcement in your pursuit of the districts.
473. I usually seek out professionally trained observers, pilots and police officers,
474. people who really don't have any dog in the fight but are at the same time.
475. Or dog stars.
476. And I've talked to police officers that have had pretty intense experiences themselves.
477. So, you know, how do you address that?
478. You know, I don't know.
479. I just record it.
480. But it's interesting what you say, Harold, that they kind of set it up so they can deny what you have seen with your very own eyes.
481. But, you know, also there's so many political implications about so-called disclosure.
482. primarily the biggest impetus to keep it quiet sadly is conservative christians who are who are
483. trying to co-op it in order to maintain the the narrative control they have so there's a lot of
484. people in the pentagon and in throughout washington who honestly believe that ufos are demons are
485. Demons. And so they're trying to color the unknown to fulfill, in my opinion, to fulfill their agenda.
486. And that has been a real problem for the Congress to get up.
487. There's a lot of members of Congress who think we're talking demons here and are just afraid.
488. They're just afraid of the unknown, but they have to project this hostility towards it.
489. I heard this woman named Caroline Sunshine, please, who is a Trump supporter of some sort.
490. and she said in one of the talk shows I was watching,
491. perception is reality.
492. And you see, the Fireside Theater asked on its very,
493. don't crush that dwarf album, what is reality?
494. That was the main question that we yelled out at Principal Poop.
495. And basically, I always felt that reality was subjective
496. and to be able to say that perception is reality is like saying fake news, basically.
497. so if you say
498. if you say they're demons
499. then
500. they're demons
501. say it enough
502. well that's Trump's
503. playbook
504. say it enough
505. and people will believe it
506. yeah
507. yeah
508. well you know what it is
509. I would call it
510. deception
511. is reality
512. I think that's what's going on right now
513. okay
514. because
515. do you agree Harold?
516. yeah if I
517. if I may
518. it's strange that you brought
519. the Christianity
520. in it
521. because the big three in my area is the Catholics and the Seventh Adventists and the Mormons And they the ones that are doing exactly what you said
522. And it is scary.
523. Yeah, well, the Mormons are very regimented and they keep their people in line.
524. And, you know, I've spent time with them and I've met a lot of wonderful people who happen to be Mormon.
525. But I've also heard stories and witnessed where there is an organized effort to restrain critical thinking and create sort of a groupthink.
526. And so when they get together, there's always lots of activities because you don't want to sit around and smoke a joint and say, really?
527. Well, you know, that's another major problem right now because of social media.
528. group think is the think that's what it is group think you find as we said in our albums
529. you find a bunch of people who dress alike and follow them around
530. right hey this is beautiful let me tell you you hit another it was just perfect i mean
531. what you described is exactly what's going on and what's even scarier is the fact that
532. that five of us witnessed the same thing,
533. and the fourth person, I shouldn't say that, there's five of us,
534. I'm the outsider, and I was the only one telling the truth,
535. and the other four said, you know what, I think you need help.
536. Really?
537. Let me dial 911.
538. And I said, but you guys are the cops.
539. Yeah.
540. Well, you know, one of the phenomenas that I've discovered
541. when I interview people, in group sightings, when people have a group sighting,
542. most of the time, each of the individuals who were in that group
543. will come away with a completely different observation.
544. So it's a very interactive thing by nature, too.
545. Hey, Harold, thanks so much, man.
546. Thanks for listening.
547. Have a good summer.
548. Thank you.
549. Keep your eyes on the sky.
550. We want to hear from you.
551. This is a Phil and Ted Sexy Boomer Show.
552. I'm Ted Bonnet.
553. I'm Phil Proctor.
554. And we're saying bye-bye for the summer.
555. We have actually a great summer of shows lined up.
556. Don't go anywhere.
557. Yeah.
558. Can we talk about it yet?
559. Yeah, we should.
560. Just we have one more call coming in, and we want to have some more at 818-985-5735.
561. 818-985-5735 and press 1.
562. We really would love to hear from you and talk about what the heck's on your mind.
563. Press 1 what?
564. Squeeze the wheeze.
565. we have bill from santa monica who would like to talk about trump's dementia
566. and hitler during world war ii i've heard of him interesting yes hi bill you're there hello
567. hey bill how are you i am i'm fine what can we do for you one of the good i want to talk about
568. hitler um died on april 30th of 1945 five days before he died he was told that a russian combat
569. unit was using the subways outside to come into Berlin.
570. They were in a suburb at the time, and they were using the subways to come into Berlin.
571. At the same time, there were about 30,000 German citizens who had taken shelter in the
572. subways to get away from the artillery and the bombing of the city.
573. Hitler ordered that the subways be flooded to kill the Russian combat unit.
574. That's right.
575. And he killed 30,000 citizens.
576. Why I'm saying that in conjunction with Trump is that I really worry that if he finally believes if 100 doctors...
577. tell him that he's terminal with some disease, I believe that he will start some kind of
578. nuclear concentration.
579. And I think that guys like Hank Smith, I can't unsee them telling him no, but I believe that
580. he'll try to take as many people with him as he's going to go.
581. He's a psychopath, and I think he would do that.
582. And I think that's a real danger.
583. It's funny, but it's not.
584. No.
585. It's also very dangerous.
586. It's very, it's a, you know, despite the clown foolery, it's really, it's really a frightening time.
587. And yes, and you're not the only person who has contemplated this catastrophe.
588. But, you know, his first term he was restrained by people who were still professionals.
589. Now he's surrounded himself with incompetence bozos and yes men.
590. And berserkers.
591. And he's gotten, and he's done a pretty horrible job.
592. Well, he's a human wrecking ball, but he has been so much more successful now in decimating the ranks of the Pentagon.
593. But one would hope that the career people are insulated from that and that at some point he's going to lose whatever value he offers to the party and he will be removed.
594. However he's removed, he'll be removed.
595. And then – and I like to think that will certainly happen before because –
596. Before we get to that.
597. When have you had, like in April, 36 physicians, including neurologists and psychiatrists from Harvard, Tufts, Columbia, George Washington University,
598. entered a formal statement into the congressional record warning of Trump's, quote, rapidly worsening, reality untethered, increasingly dangerous decline,
599. calling him mentally unfit and urging the use of the 25th Amendment.
600. and the physical red flags as we all know are the bruising in both hands,
601. the cankles,
602. and he's been doing since the first term using two hands to pick up a drink from a water glass.
603. Yeah, like a cat.
604. And he's gained 14 pounds over the last year
605. and then he constantly boasts about acing a dementia test.
606. Yeah.
607. Because he thinks it's an IQ test.
608. I mean, if that doesn't tell you, you know, they'll tell you the 22 specialists saw him in the last visit alone over at Walter Reed.
609. But when you have an administration that says we have peace on baby boy's birthday but doesn't release any of the terms.
610. Very special experts.
611. One guy said to him, you have to trim your nails, Mr. President.
612. You know, that was his specialty.
613. The other one said, your eyebrows are getting a little too bushy, Mr. P.
614. Let me fix that for you.
615. So, you know, you can't say that all of these are related to his health, but he wore his personal appearance.
616. Hygiene?
617. Hi.
618. Bye, Gene.
619. Okay, whatever you say.
620. Anyway, let's hope it doesn't happen.
621. The Washington Post-ABC News poll said that 59% of Americans do not believe Trump has the mental acuity to lead the country.
622. How smart are they?
623. So, and Biden, you know, he completely, they always compare it to Biden, which is completely unfair.
624. Because Biden wasn't insulting women and cursing and, you know.
625. No, that's right.
626. We have, we need some young blood.
627. Not a psychopath.
628. We definitely need some young blood.
629. Yeah but you know the thing that astonishes me and I think probably you Bill and everybody else out there is how did this happen Okay and my theory is that it happened in a certain way because of reality television you know and the love of celebrity okay the exploitation of celebrity
630. and the invention of the Internet all combined to create this monster, basically.
631. And deregulation.
632. Because he is a good con man.
633. Remember this.
634. Oh, he's the best.
635. All right.
636. And he's got some horribly terrible con men behind him, propagandists.
637. Oh, God.
638. You see these guys, these board members of Witkoff.
639. They look like Monopoly board players.
640. It's a good way to describe them, I'm sure.
641. Yeah, I don't think it's sustainable.
642. And I think that this is the result of 40 years of backroom planning, as we talked about on last week's show with our SCOTUS show.
643. Listen, he clearly doesn't have any grasp of reality or any empathy.
644. But it's not just Trump.
645. I mean, it's like what we said about in the show last week with Lisa Graves about how the Roberts court dates – that Roberts' political activism dates back to the Reagan administration.
646. And this has been a plan for years to sway things right.
647. Deregulation, of which –
648. It's a slow coup.
649. Right.
650. It's a slow coup.
651. And even Clinton was involved in deregulation and ownership rule regulation.
652. And now the media has been captured by right-wing oligarchs who are really only interested in their – their pathology is more, more, never enough, more, more, more, at whatever expense.
653. Great, great, great, great.
654. Great is good.
655. And that's what, you know, that's the perverseness of greed in a capitalist society is toxic to the point where maybe we just pushed it into such an absurd dimension of ridiculousness and unsustainability.
656. Maybe 250th is the perfect year to reset this.
657. Good thinking.
658. Well, thank you for the stimulating call, Bill.
659. Yeah, thank you, Bill.
660. Have a good summer.
661. Yep.
662. And stay in the bunker.
663. Would you like to join us on the air?
664. Give us a call right now.
665. This is your chance.
666. This is Phil and Ted saying this is our last day of school.
667. This is kind of our last day of school.
668. It is.
669. We're just having some fun.
670. We're just having fun talking about very dark – oh, speaking of –
671. Yeah, talking about really dark things.
672. Well, let's think about – I'm going to spend this – what are you doing this summer?
673. Levity is the opposite of gravity.
674. What are you doing?
675. What am I doing this summer?
676. I'm going to be traveling all over the place with my girlfriend Adele, starting with a cruise to Alaska at the end of this week.
677. And then I'm going to be spending some time at a blues festival up in Massachusetts.
678. I'll be spending a lot more time on the East Coast because my daughter Kristen and her family moved to Rye, New York.
679. Beautiful little village town.
680. and I see less and less reason really to be here now
681. where they lived very close to me for many, many years
682. with a swimming pool.
683. And so I'm going to be spending time more
684. kind of gallivanting around the East Coast.
685. Adele also has a beautiful Victorian mansion
686. up in Nova Scotia
687. and we're going to be spending some time up there
688. keeping an eye on things down here
689. and keeping a pulse on what's happening
690. in case we have to spend more extended time up in the basement in the mansion up there So I be traveling around I should have a lot of fun stories when I get back on the air with you
691. Good, good.
692. I'm going to spend the summer in nature and hiking and just fresh air.
693. My health break from L.A., which I'm privileged and so grateful to have.
694. And I'm going to embrace – Claude's going to be my new friend all summer long.
695. I'm going to learn Claude Cowork, and I'm going to revolutionize all the workflow and everything.
696. I'm really embracing the AI.
697. Claude, I like the ethics of anthropic.
698. Now, what you just said is so 21st century, right?
699. I think the AI revolution is definitely consequential and potentially dangerous.
700. On the other hand, I think it's a little bit overblown.
701. I think the tool set that's available now is so profoundly new and great.
702. As a content producer, there's never a better time because institutionalized media is falling away.
703. You know, it's like who needs the weight of, you know, for people who are creators, even the weight of a radio station, a physical plant, of a TV station, or a newspaper when you can just produce stuff with AI on the Internet.
704. Donna, did you hear that?
705. Yeah, I know.
706. producer is, oh, she's crying.
707. Oh, it's going to be okay, honey.
708. We're just joking.
709. It's not going to replace
710. radio. Radio's
711. the best. But in terms of being able to
712. produce more interesting content,
713. that's where AI
714. is concerned and where it will
715. help me with all my data
716. to finally put it into
717. some coherent
718. format so I can actually
719. present without having to hire a newsroom
720. that I can't afford. Well, you know,
721. You've been my producer in our partnership for, what, five years now, something like that?
722. On this project, seven.
723. Seven years on this project.
724. We've been working on Sexy Boomer for seven years.
725. My goodness.
726. That and eight bucks gets you a cup of coffee.
727. And so this is how I stay up with the ever-changing technology because you're actually doing it to survive in many ways, right?
728. I think it's interesting.
729. I mean, it's the one thing that makes me kind of want I was young again, but not enough.
730. I'm really happy with when we came along in this world.
731. We really had a good run in America.
732. Yeah, we did.
733. But I do think that doing the show now through AI is much easier because right now I'm at home resting up in bed.
734. And you look fabulous, by the way.
735. I like the new look that you programmed.
736. Yeah.
737. It's younger.
738. Yeah.
739. and my mouth is almost in sync with the words that I'm speaking.
740. I've got a new TV, and it's totally out of sync.
741. So some things work, too.
742. Mark from Signal Hill has some predictions for us, Mark.
743. Mark, would you like to share?
744. Yes, I do.
745. Number one, something really crazy is going to happen on July 4th
746. coming out of our administration.
747. Number two, the Lord's Angels will come down and evict all the Zionists who built their
748. kibbutzes over there on stolen land and let the Palestinians move in.
749. Yep.
750. And number three, the legal aliens that are in the detention centers will become the guards
751. and all the ICE people and MAGA people will be inside.
752. That's a nice vision.
753. Oh, I love these predictions.
754. That a beautiful vision Wow You know and that going to be something that going to happen over the summer These folks have been planning very very bigly to clamp down with these detention centers
755. Yeah, that's right.
756. It's funny.
757. It's funny, isn't it, that there's this combination of building data centers and detention centers, right?
758. And these have become the debatable issues.
759. And the robots use...
760. Go ahead.
761. Oh, that was a 10-year prediction for the last two.
762. And all that, the reflection pool turning green, they ran out of place to hide all the money they saw.
763. So that's what that is.
764. It's old money.
765. The question is, these data centers and these detention centers, they both use warehouses.
766. And I think the robots are going to use more energy and more water than the humans.
767. Oh, yeah.
768. So it seems.
769. Isn't that weird?
770. But, you know, a lot of that is being blown back because they're trying to put these folks into warehouses that have, like, two toilets.
771. That have, like, the size of eight football fields and thousands of people.
772. The toilets are the size of eight football fields?
773. Yeah.
774. Well, that's good.
775. Yeah.
776. That's not what I said, but.
777. Well, it is what you said.
778. Is it what I said?
779. Well, explain yourself.
780. Well, that's not what I meant.
781. That's more like it.
782. Okay.
783. What I'm saying is that this creating – remember it was the Republican kind of wacko theories and paranoia years ago about how these people are putting together concentration camps.
784. That's right.
785. Remember that?
786. It was a big Republican thing.
787. And guess who's doing it?
788. The Republicans.
789. But there's so much blowback.
790. Well, listen.
791. I think they got it confused with think tanks.
792. concentration camps sounds to me like a lot of people sitting around thinking really hard
793. together i think that they the republicans the magas the uh conservatives the con men
794. they got confused so you can't blame them really well there are over 200 detention centers and
795. and there are an additional 122 prison facilities, there are 4,200 data centers.
796. Already?
797. Yeah.
798. Can you tell me what a data center is?
799. Yeah.
800. Okay.
801. So the amount of processing involved in AI computation is enormous.
802. And I spoke to somebody who is in the industry who does this stuff,
803. And it just is shocking the amount of computational power of how they sell.
804. These guys, these oligarchs are selling their computer space to each other because they don't have the infrastructure in place.
805. When you run Claude or you run ChatGPT, it has to be, you know, it's going through the Internet and gathering things.
806. And that's processing power.
807. It's energy.
808. because they heat up the computers tremendously.
809. Oh, are you okay?
810. Oh, what's happening?
811. I think his computer just ate him.
812. Oh, dear.
813. You know, all that reminds me of a wonderful...
814. Mark, your predictions have come true.
815. Are you there?
816. Yeah.
817. Oh, I'm here.
818. Okay.
819. Thank you, Mark.
820. I'm solving the bathroom problem in those data centers.
821. He's building that huge outhouse by the White House.
822. Yes.
823. Oh, yes.
824. That's good.
825. Oh, man.
826. Thank you, Mark.
827. Have a wonderful summer.
828. Now, all of this reminds me of a science fiction story that I read when I was a kid that I loved.
829. It's a short story.
830. All of the planets in the universe get together to create a supercomputer.
831. And on the dedication day on Earth, there is one master switch that they are going to symbolically pull to close the circuit and activate the entire system.
832. And, of course, there's tremendous excitement.
833. excitement and they put that they close the switch and the first question that they asked
834. the super super duper computer is is there a god and a flash of lightning comes down and seals the
835. the switch closed forever and a voice booms out and says there is no
836. right sure that maybe that's what's happening i don't know well we are uh we have some time for
837. take a few more calls 818-985-5735 818-985-5735 press one when you get through and this is your
838. chance to say goodbye for the summer but don't say goodbye because we have let's talk about what's
839. we're not we may not be coming in doing live shows but we are going to be doing a very special
840. series. And it's
841. called Treasure Island, A Telling
842. for the New World. And it was
843. written and directed by
844. Orson Osmond, the
845. wonderfully talented son,
846. one of the wonderfully talented sons,
847. of my dear partner David Osmond of
848. Firesign Theatre. It's produced
849. by David and his wife, Judith
850. Walcott. Who are the best audio
851. drama producers in the world.
852. And over the
853. years I've worked with them in The Wizard of
854. Oz and Empire of the Air and all kinds of wonderful productions.
855. Anyway, this was, and I'm happy to say, I'm part of the cast, which includes John Goodman and Keith David, Glenn Turman, wonderful, and a musical score by Taj Mahal.
856. Yeah, and so what it is, is it's eight episodes, each an hour length, and we are proud to present it as part of the Phil and Sexy Ted Show.
857. Phil and Ted's Sexy Boomer Show.
858. Yeah, there we go.
859. Phil and Ted's Sexy Boomer Show.
860. We are going to present the entire series.
861. We are representing L.A.
862. Eight one-hour pieces.
863. Yes, that will be airing on our show every week.
864. And before it starts on July 7th, we have an interview with Orson talking about the production and the whole thing.
865. That's right.
866. So they'll give you a little wrap-up.
867. They'll be on soon.
868. And then the occasion.
869. Because, by the way, Ted, the whole thing was produced on location on Whidbey Island, where David's lived for like 48 years.
870. And Lucas Skywalker Sound put in some sound effects.
871. Oh, it's the best.
872. It's beautiful.
873. Absolutely the best.
874. So you're in for a summer movie treat for the year.
875. Yeah, movies for the mind.
876. Right.
877. And we'll be contributing from a distance, too.
878. I think we have a fun drive sometime in the summer.
879. What?
880. A fun drive?
881. Yeah, whoever heard of that?
882. My goodness.
883. And I think we'll be doing something special for that, too.
884. And when in doubt, we just play comedy bits, too.
885. So, you know, come to KPFK at 2 o'clock every Tuesday for an hour.
886. Keep coming because we promise you will be entertained throughout.
887. And you'll be surprised because we never know what we're going to do.

912. Oh, yeah.
913. My kind of audience.
914. You can't beat the KPFK audience.
915. It's true.
916. You know.
917. I was so fascinated.
918. One of the things we learned this year about the history of Freeform FM with Jeremy Braddock, who did a great book about the Fireside Theater.
919. Oh, and an exhaustive, investigative, kind of real-by-real.
920. Professorial.
921. Yeah.
922. He was a Cornell professor, and he did a very deep dive.
923. Oh, it was a fascinating study.
924. And he pledged to work.
925. And thanks to all the folks that pledged during our fun drive to get a copy of that book.
926. And, yeah, it's true.
927. It's more than you ever wanted to know about.
928. The history of the world told in nine albums, right?
929. And what he talked about was the roots of KPFK, which we were talking about Freeform FM radio, which is what Phil and I grew up on and what we try to emulate here on the show.
930. That's why it's so loose and disorganized as much as it is.
931. You know, when I grew up in New York and I was doing Freeform FM radio in the early days, like for me, it was mid-70s.
932. Oh, in a WBAI?
933. No, WR&W.
934. Oh.
935. It was the last commercial Freeform station in New York.
936. Oh, no kidding.
937. And it was all the refugees from the big FM stations in New York that got blown out eventually.
938. And they all landed in this little radio station in the woods.
939. And Howard Stern started a year after we started.
940. And he was still a straight DJ.
941. And it was a wonderful, wonderful learning experience.
942. And I always would regard California as this totally cool place where just anything goes radio.
943. It just seems so cool.
944. Phil Austin doing the show on K-Rock and all that.
945. And the legendary K-San and all that.
946. Hollywood Night Shift
947. and then I find out from Jeremy when we talk to him
948. which by the way you can
949. find that show at our website too
950. sexyboomershow.com he explained that it started
951. on BAI where I started
952. and did the show with Bob Fass
953. and Steve Post and Peter Bergman
954. our dear friend and partner
955. late partner
956. was in New York and heard them
957. doing radio he brought it out
958. here and brought it to KPFK
959. which eventually became the Firesign
960. theater radio free oz and it coincided with an fcc rule in 1967 where when fm was in the woods
961. and nobody paid any attention because nobody had an fm radio yeah the am stations that own the fm
962. state stations would just play their am signal on fm and fcc in 67 ruled that that the stations
963. could no longer do they had to have original programming to develop the medium and so
964. So since it was a complete wasteland for financing and revenue monetization,
965. anybody could get on there and play rock and roll records.
966. And so K-San and all the classic rock and roll stations from the good old days
967. all came out of KPFK.
968. That's right.
969. Which came out of BAI.
970. So if you hadn't thought that Pacifica was cool enough, as dysfunctional as it is,
971. I mean, what I did by showing the 80s, like, how does this place stay on the air?
972. And here we are 30 years later going how does this play stay on the air It a hotbed of creative ingenuity And loyal beautiful listeners because we get all of our revenue to keep the lights on here from you the listener
973. So we can't tell you how much we appreciate it.
974. Volunteers have actually helped run the station.
975. So it really is a community effort to keep this station on the air.
976. Yeah.
977. And they give us a home because they'll take anybody.
978. Nobody else will take anybody.
979. I mean, I've always been proud to be a Pacifica misfit.
980. Yeah.
981. Because I'll tell you why.
982. Because they have great signals in New York and L.A.
983. I mean, terrific broadcast signals.
984. Yes, they do.
985. BI had the strongest signal in New York.
986. We have a strong signal.
987. And we have one of the strongest signals west of the Mississippi for KPFK.
988. And we have repeaters up and down the coast from Santa Barbara to San Diego.
989. That's huge.
990. And the thing is, what's beautiful about it is no one ever in all my years has ever told me what I could or could not do on the air.
991. Well, be careful.
992. I know.
993. Times have changed.
994. Well, not here.
995. No, I can say, for instance, without any fear of censorship.
996. That's right.
997. Well said.
998. Thank you.
999. Yeah.
1000. Well, anyway, it's been a wonderful another season with you, Phil.
1001. It has been a wonderful season with me, and I can say the same thing about me.
1002. It's really – and I couldn't do that without you, Ted.
1003. I'm touched.
1004. Well.
1005. Literally.
1006. Thank you.
1007. Well, I'm not a germaphobe or anything, but I would advise you to spray with some of that sanitary.
1008. You had me in that headlock at the top of the show, that UFC headlock.
1009. Did you pick that up at the show?
1010. Yeah, we really got into it, didn't we?
1011. Oh, my God.
1012. So do you think Trump will be around when we get back in September?
1013. Oh, I'm not into any of these predictions.
1014. Oh, I don't think it's a prediction.
1015. I think it's like a medical issue.
1016. I think he's failing, and I hope he's failing politically, too.
1017. But, you know, there's so much at stake for these people, and there's so much dark money involved.
1018. And the Supreme, the extreme court has really, you know, pushed the right-wing agenda.
1019. That may come under, you know, again, listen to our show with Lisa Graves that we did a week or two ago at sexyboomershow.com.
1020. I think it's one of the most interesting breakdowns of what's exactly happening and has happened on the Supreme Court and why we're in the mess we're in.
1021. Also, I don't think it's sustainable.
1022. I think we're going to get through this.
1023. I don't think it's sustainable either.
1024. I think somebody's got to give.
1025. Well, let's hope so.
1026. And somebody's got to give to keep this station on the air, too.
1027. Oh, boy.
1028. But we're not asking for that today.
1029. Not today.
1030. I mean, you know, keep your wallets closed.
1031. Yeah.
1032. Oh, my goodness.
1033. Well, we're almost out of time.
1034. Of course, you can't date.
1035. Don't say that.
1036. I know.
1037. It depresses me.
1038. So should we maybe do a WrestleMania pay-per-view?
1039. You and me?
1040. Just buck a minute, you can watch me and Phil fight physically.
1041. Why not?
1042. At the Kennedy Center.
1043. Now, when we get back, the Iran war will be history.
1044. Gas prices will be down to $7 a gallon.
1045. Yeah, right.
1046. It'll be really affordable.
1047. And what else will happen?
1048. No homeless.
1049. Yeah.
1050. Yeah, and Trump – and what's his face?
1051. Musk will still be a trillionaire on paper Oh boy Boy he bugs me I was such a fan of his What is that monopoly money Well it paper money on paper It on paper And I really admire SpaceX so much And it such a heartbreak to see this guy just go in there I mean why did he go in there with literally a chainsaw and steal our data and cut off USAID and kill God knows how many children across the world I mean I just It unfathomable
1052. What is that?
1053. Who is in the writer's room?
1054. That's what I keep saying.
1055. Who's writing this stuff?
1056. Yeah, I think it could be people like Stephen Miller.
1057. You know, there are people who are writing this stuff.
1058. I think they will be cast out soon enough.
1059. Boy, I hope so.
1060. I do too.
1061. You just have to keep hope alive and you've got to keep happy.
1062. And we'll try to help you to do that.
1063. We promise you hours of entertainment from here on out.
1064. including when we get back in September.
1065. But like I say, there's plenty of great fresh programming
1066. that will be on every week here.
1067. But this was kind of fun just to wing it without a guest for a show.
1068. I've enjoyed it.
1069. Yeah, me too.
1070. Me too.
1071. Well, let's get the hell out of here, shall we?
1072. Okay.
