Yeah. Hey, Joan, let me hear you go, yeah. Yeah. There you go. Nailed it. Little Mac Miller. Is that what this is, Mac Miller? Yep. All right. Part of the 27 Club. What does that mean? Died at 27. Yep. Oh, really? Yep. Okay. Well, I'm not disparaging. Along with Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix. Oh, my God. Did I tell you what happened? No. So, just real quick. Please turn that off. God. Would you have preferred Donald Trump? Donald Trump? Yeah, his song Donald Trump. I have not heard. When did he die? Mac Miller. A few years ago. Really? And he had a song about Donald Trump? Yeah, before. I think it was before 2016, right? When did Donald Trump come out? I want to say like 2014 maybe? Yeah. So I was guest hosting on a national show the other night. Ooh, love you now. No, no, no, no, no. I knew. I knew. There's a cop. Shut up. There's a cop. There's a detective that believes that Kurt Cobain was murdered. He was Hillary Clinton's suicide. Yes. You can call it Courtney Loved. But that's just an accusation. But I interviewed this guy. I swear to God, I think he was drunk. Really? Yeah. Hammered drunk. It sounded like it to me. Well, that one interview you had earlier this morning, she seemed drunk, too. She was, like, quick to hang up the phone. She was. Well, no, she was great. I know. I'm kidding. I thought it was a good interview. And Sam, would you like to share what you told me in Q about Allie Bradley? What? Okay. Sam doesn't want to talk about what the— What? I don't know what you're talking about, man. Joan, you're not one to talk. You said that John Thune was handsome. Oh, she did. She said that yesterday. I said, does anybody honestly like John Thune? Does anybody have any respect for this guy? And Joan Jones. And I get a text from Joan Jones who says he's handsome. That's effort. Have to put that in a text unrelated to the matter. While I was driving. Whoa. Yeah. I wasn't even sure I should read that on the air. I felt like I would be destroying someone we love. So for people that want to slash Jones tires, John. Hang on. I see nothing wrong with admiring that someone is a not hard to look at person. Yeah, I noticed that. My preferred term is aesthetically pleasing individual. He's aesthetically pleasing. I didn't say I agree with everything. In fact, he infuriates me. You didn't mention any of that. No, I don't have to. You asked if there was anything redeemable about this man, and I said he's good looking. I'll back Joan up on this. But can I just say, can I just say, like, it's one thing for her to text me that he's handsome. But then, like, the overwhelming amount of heart eye emojis and the drooling emoji. I thought that was complete overkill. Fake news. Wow, Joan. Fake news. Need I remind you that Dan referred to Jasmine Crockett as thick. Thick. Thick. Thick. Every week on the Stacking Benjamins podcast, we talk personal finance trends. Not paying attention to the headlines. is the strategy proven to work. One headline, economists fear global recession. Literally the next headline, stocks at all-time highs, investors optimistic on the future. They're even doing it to the weather now. 28 million people in the path of this snowstorm. That means 340 million people have got good weather. It's just weather. Layers, people. Layers. Stacking Benjamins. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Whatever. Is she pretty? Hold on, is she pretty? Pretty dumb. What's worse? Hold on. Like, is she physically attractive? What's worse, falling in love with a Democrat or a rhino? Ooh. That's a YouTube poll for you. You know what? Sam, let's do a YouTube poll. What's worse, falling in love with a Democrat or a rhino? I going to say it worse to fall in love with a Democrat because I believe that a rhino can be converted It true Right Maybe Fact check true Maybe. Well, why can't a Democrat be converted? They need a heart change, but, you know, they could be. Joan, Democrats have no soul. You would have to change, like, their soul and their black heart. Yeah. And that's just too much work, to be honest. Take him to church and redeem them and get it back from Satan. By the way. Hold him under that water a little longer. By the way, I need. Just give him an extra second. Just till the bubbles stop. Whoa. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. You see what happens, Joan, when you say something outlandish like this? Wow. You see where we find ourselves? Yes. I'll never say anything that outlandish again today. Joan started it. I feel like I need to defend myself. I said earlier when I was listening to your show yesterday, Chris, that I actually skipped my $9 cup of coffee at Starbucks. So we're clear, I usually get a pastry too. So I'm not spending $9 on one cup of Kami coffee. I also get a Kami pastry. I also thought it was really nice of you to give me credit for that and not Wally's Bean Machine, which is probably the fact of the matter. Wally's beam machine is a big part of that, too. Like, I'm just going to be. We met Wally the other day. What a nice, nice guy. Super nice guy. Yes. All right. Real quick, because I'm rapidly running out of time. I did so much prep today, and I didn't get to all of it, but I've got to get to Stephen A. Smith. So we all remember what Donald Trump said. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens. Right. Isn't that a shame? You should be ashamed of yourself not standing up. You should be ashamed of yourself. All right, so we all, of course, know that this was a trap. You know what's so odd, Chris? And I've said this a couple of times now. How is it, because you and I, and I think Chad and Matt were in on the conversation, but I know specifically you and I talked about how the Democrats have to know this coming. This is coming. You have to know that he's going to lay the bait. He's going to lay the trap. Yes. And you have to be you have to be aware and ready for that. So Stephen A. Smith, man, didn't sit up there and say white Americans or black Americans. He said Americans, meaning that if you're an American citizen, no matter what, you could be of African-American descent. You could be of Hispanic descent. You could be of of of of white descent. It doesn't matter. The fact that he said America before everybody else and the Democrats didn't stand up is a reminder of what lost them the election in 2024. Yeah. I mean, Stephen A. Smith. And so, you know, part of me started thinking that he's going to use this moment as an excuse to run for president in 2028. There is a catch, though, but there's more from Stephen A. Smith. And see, this is where I get pissed off because I'm not rooting against the Democrats. I'm rooting for them. Speaker Mike Johnson was on Sean Hannity's show last night in the immediate aftermath of the State of the Union address, smiling ear to ear, talking about how the GOP was definitely going to use Ilhan Omar screaming at the president and the Democrats refusing to stand up when they had that question posed to them by Trump purposefully, I might add. They're going to use it as a campaign tool. I mean, you can't see it coming. You can't understand the importance of prepping yourself and preparing yourself not to fall for the okie-dokie. And then you wonder why people like me get pissed off. Independents who are moderates who usually vote left. And we're saying time and time and time and time again, stop falling for the bait. You're playing right into his hands and you won't listen. Can I just say? He's so good. I love Stephen A. Smith. I feel like I got to wipe the spittle off my face. He's just thinking the exact same thing. He's the only guy in all of broadcasting who can spit through the speakers. Yeah, it's, you know, a crazy talent that he has So you played this yesterday and Smith Spanberger who says no And so but here the thing though the CIA would run that presidency Do you know how much he makes per year? Hundred million dollars or whatever it is. But he signed a hundred million dollar contract with ESPN. And he has come out and said that he is not going to give up his money. So unless there's some sort of a. You mean to become to run for president, to run for president, because the equal time rules and all that. So he says that every time that he's on ESPN, they would have to give his political opponents equal time. So he says, I'm not going to give up my broadcasting career. I'm not going to give up my money. But that would effectively end his broadcasting career. So at least that's what he says. He also said a couple of weeks ago, though, on CBS that he hasn't ruled it out. He has no desire to be a politician, but he's not ruling it out. I think this quote was from last week. Really? Okay. Hi, I'm Joe Salci. I host of the Stacking Benjamins podcast. Every week we talk personal finance trends. I think it's tough finding like a stock certificate from 1987 in grandpa's drawer. Wait until you need the face ID to unlock cash app. It's so sad what money does to people. It happens. That's why you don't tell anybody what you got. That guy had the brilliant idea. I don't want my relatives to know how much money I have. So every time I go to Thanksgiving, I ask them if I can borrow more. Stealth wealth. Stacking Benjamins. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. How dare you, Chris? Mine's from February 13th. How dare you? He was on CBS. Did you hear what just happened? I said, how dare you? And he played it at the same time. I believe that my information, you hear what's going on, Joan? Now Chris and I are going to have a pissing match over. I don't think Dan's telling you. I mean, at least make it hard. Come on, man. I don't think Dan's telling the truth. I'm telling the truth. All right, what did you bring to the table today, Chris? What? I didn't bring anything. I looked up movie props, and we haven't gotten there yet. You told me that there's all the movie props. Yeah, I've got the list. So Stephen A. Smith says this. Dan's really excited to buy the C-3PO head. Yeah. Lord knows what he's going to do with that thing. Chris texted me. So he texted me when Dan was talking about that. I got to pull it up. Someone is going to buy that C-3PO just to have sex with it. It's true. I had to reply. Everybody knows it. Or in it. Oh, it's also true. Talk about human-cyborg relations. Which is good, Sam. Which is creepier, though? Like having sex in it or having sex with it? I think probably with it. Inanimate objects? The fact that I had to even ask that question, I apologize. Joan's like, what is wrong with you? I checked out. And then I'm trying to put it in, and I just can't get it in. It'd be so awkward. Somebody's just yelling, help me, Obi-Wan, help me, Obi-Wan. They're selling other things, too. What else are they selling? They're selling a Batman grappling hook from Batman Returns. A grappling hook? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. What is that? What's a grappling hook? It's the little gun that fires and it's a little claw and then he climbs up on the road. Oh, okay. Grappling hook. Yeah. They're also selling the fishing rods and the harpoon gun from Jaws. Ooh. They're selling the jacket worn by Arnold in the Terminator. They're selling helmets from Gladiator and the Wilson volleyball used in Castaway. Oh, don't forget the- Oh, really? That's cool. Hold on. I got a timeout here. I don't like the Castaway ball. How? Why? It's haunted. Internet conspiracy theories have ruined me on it. Well, all right. We can't leave it there. What do the internet conspiracy theories say? That it's somebody with their face skin removed. Oh. That was tortured. No, come on. By satanic pedophile elites. All right, whatever. So here's my question. Well, it is Tom. It is Tom Hanks. I know. That's why I can't. All right. That's why I can't. Hang on. Now I'm starting to believe. I can't deal with it anymore. Got that Greek citizenship. Here's. I don know if this stuff true I just know that it warped me and I can look at things the same anymore Yeah Can I speak Oh this is your show right I speaking I'm speaking. Oh, my goodness gracious. All right. I'm calling BS on this. On the Wilson ball and how that is somehow up for auction. That is Joan and the C3PO head as well. This is part of, like, American culture. How is it that these things aren't in, like, some museum somewhere? Yeah, they should be in a Smithsonian somewhere. Yes, Joan. Or how is it that George Lucas or Tom Hanks don't want these individual products? Who's paying money to go see that stuff in a museum? I would. Would you really? Absolutely. You don't pay for Smithsonian museums. They're free. Joan, you think John Thune's handsome. Give me a second. Oh, my gosh. So, but why would you buy a ticket? for that you don't well number one you don't buy a ticket but why okay regardless i would buy a ticket for it because i'm that guy that likes that stuff i would you would take a picture on your cell phone of it that you would never look at again i what i would do is i would get in front of it i would take a picture with it i would take a picture with it that's exactly what i would do and then he'd ai photoshop it whatever the object was into his hand or on his person I would be the guy to Photoshop a C-3PO mask on my head instead of my pinky cap, which I got a new one today. Nobody said anything. Damn you. I think it looks sharp. Really? It's new? Yeah. Because it kind of looks like the one you wore yesterday. That's what I told them. I hate you both. I think part of it is these museums wouldn't be able to afford these items unless they were donated. The harpoon gun is estimating to be sold anywhere between $250,000 to $500,000. How much would you pay for the C-3PO mask? $10. $10. It's going to smell like cigarette smoke. You know the actors chain smoke through all three movies in it. Yeah, that's true. That is true. That's pretty cool. Is there only one mask? Like, there's got to be more than one. No, it was the 70s. They're like, here, here's your one outfit. Make it last three movies. No. No. Maybe you can explain this to me, Chris. 3565 says Hillary Clinton will buy that volleyball. What does that mean? That's where the conspiracy theory comes from. Yeah, that's Pizzagate. There was a long rumored video to be circulating on the internet called Frazzledrip. Ew. Have you heard of this? I'm going to look it up right now. I don't want to know who Frazzle is or anything about his drip. It's one of the oldest conspiracy theories on the internet. Okay, go ahead. That there's a video of Hillary Clinton torturing a young girl who has had the front of her face removed. 2015 was a weird time on the internet, Dan. Oh, I know. I was here. I remember. I talked about pizza. You were at the surface level. Chris and I were digging into the depths. It was found on Anthony Weiner's laptop. Ooh. Oh, my gosh. Uma Abedin had something to do with it. Who is now married to? Soros' son. Dun, dun, dun. Dun, dun, dun. Wow. You know, in fairness to Joan, I once proclaimed on this radio station that I thought Uma Abedin was hot. And I think I said, Pamela Furkin backed me up on this. I think I said with two Ts. Damn straight we did. So there you go. That's exactly right. You've also said that the Wicked Witch of the West was hot. And to bring this thing full circle, you can also buy the Cowardly Lions Medal of Courage. I know where that's being worn. You know what? I actually have the Medal of Courage for saying some of the things I've said on WTN over the years. All right. Very good. Thank you, Chris. Another stellar segment. You're welcome. So crazy.
