EP 397: Power Balls 11/17/2025

EP 397: Power Balls Ep. 397 In Episode 397, Ken and Dave discuss MTG on the outs, property tax elimination, Savannah getting smacked down, pennies for your thoughts, nudes on an airplane, and creeps on a list. DC Trip and Government Events Dave traveled to Washington D.C. during the government shutdown, observing that the city and nightlife were notably quiet. He received a personalized tour of the Capitol, which was arranged by the office of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green. Museum visits included the American History Museum (featuring Archie Bunker’s chair and Abraham Lincoln’s hat) and the International Spy Museum (displaying concealable spy gear, such as a radio hidden in a fake scrotum and lockpick sets). The government shutdown concluded, but the current Continuing Resolution (CR) expires around January 30th, leading to concerns about another looming shutdown shortly after the holidays. National Politics and Infighting Donald Trump used new nicknames for Marjorie Taylor Green, including "Marjorie Taylor Brown" and "Marjorie Trader Green," labeling her a RINO (Republican In Name Only). The hosts praised the constituent services provided by Marjorie Taylor Green's office, noting the staff is super nice and very young. Michael Knowles spoke at Belmont Abbey College on the theme of the civil war within the Republican party, arguing that infighting is excessive despite Republicans controlling all three branches of government, partly fueled by podcasters seeking clicks. It was argued that Trump's petty attacks against figures like Green and Thomas Massie harm the independent vote. Georgia Local Issues Property Taxes: Discussion centered on the dangers of eliminating property taxes in Georgia, which would require rural counties to rely on state funding and beg the capital for money. The concept of paying property taxes as a one-time charge, similar to the vehicle ad valorem tax, was mentioned. Savannah Gun Law: A local judge ruled Savannah’s ordinance—which mandated securing firearms in vehicles and carried potential penalties up to a $1,000 fine or 30 days in jail—as unconstitutional and contrary to state code. A representative from the hosts' area, Martin, was named chairman of the House Committee on Code Revision. The Mega Millions winner in Newnan, GA, prompted jokes that they can now afford their property taxes. Cultural Topics and Oddities Penny Discontinuation: The US Treasurer announced that the penny will no longer be minted, a move expected to save $56 million annually. The concern was raised that this is the first step in moving away from physical currency. Emigration Poll: A poll showed that 40% of young women (aged 15-44) expressed a desire to leave the US, which the hosts attributed to political romanticism rather than a genuine wish to give up American comforts and amenities. Congressional Conduct: Democrat Congressman Brad Sherman (CA) was observed looking at racy photos on a flight and blamed the incident on his iPad's algorithm. Epstein Files: Trump ordered the Justice Department and FBI to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s relationships with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, and other former officials. The hosts urged a full release of non-pornographic information, expecting the list to expose CEOs and captains of industry. Vandalism: Timothy Meyers Pool was arrested for vandalizing a Veterans Day exhibit at a Texas church after leaving his driver's license at the scene. Sports Georgia achieved a victory over Texas. Texas A&M secured a dramatic comeback win against South Carolina (31-30), after trailing 30-3. /episode/index/show/lmtywyw/id/39055965

American Finances: Observation that many Americans lack cash reserves and are increasingly financing basic necessities, even with predatory 0% financing deals that inflate the final cost.

Transportation & Aviation FAA Air Traffic Cuts: Due to the continuing shutdown, the FAA is planning to gradually cut air traffic by up to 25%, likely leading to consolidated and fewer flights on major routes. UPS DC11 Crash: A UPS DC11 cargo plane went down in Louisville following a catastrophic failure where the left engine caught fire and fell off, leading to at least 13 fatalities. The discussion focused on the airframe's age not being the issue, but potential maintenance concerns. Misc. The First Trillionaire: Discussing Elon Musk's new compensation package at Tesla, which could potentially make him the world's first individual trillionaire if the company hits aggressive financial milestones (e.g., $8 trillion valuation).

Ep 382: A Canadian Tuxedo Never Looked So Good 08/04/2025

Ep 382: A Canadian Tuxedo Never Looked So Good Ep. 382 Ken and Dave discuss Tariff handouts, softening economic numbers, Mike Collins makes it official, a new White House ballroom, it turns out ads featuring hot girls sell clothing, the murdering fifth grade teacher, setting a politician on fire, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting closes its doors. ------ • Pike County Zoning Issue: Ken Pullin recounted a contentious zoning issue at a county commissioner meeting. Despite public protest, a property was zoned commercial because the county was legally bound by established zoning rules and ordinances, which Pullin referred to as the county's "Bible." He explained that deviating from these rules would lead to lawsuits, and he advocates for private property rights, believing in leniency regarding how people use their land. He also noted that neighbors had the same opportunity to buy the land. • Atlanta Braves Trade Deadline: The Atlanta Braves failed to make a significant move at the trade deadline, which was disappointing but not surprising given the team's current state. The hosts felt the team was "pretty much done anyway" with "no viable path" to the postseason due to injuries and a lack of interest from other teams in their available players. • Celsius Energy Drink Controversy: A significant controversy involved Celsius energy drinks reportedly being canned at the same factory as High Noon vodka seltzers. This led to incidents where individuals, including kids, became "tipsy" after consuming what they believed to be only an energy drink. The hosts discussed the significant liability for both the manufacturer and Celsius due to potential allergic reactions to alcohol, the presence of children consuming the drinks, and the general public being misled. • Delta Flight Turbulence: A Delta flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam experienced severe, unexpected turbulence over Denver, resulting in 25 people requiring hospitalization for injuries. Passengers reportedly hit the ceiling, and the galley was "torn up." The turbulence was unexpected, as it occurred while drinks were being served, not during an anticipated period of rough air. • Kamala Harris's Political Future: Kamala Harris is reportedly not running for Governor of California, signaling her focus on a potential presidential bid in 2028. The hosts expressed skepticism about her chances, noting her past primary performance (less than 1% last time) and the Democratic party's perceived lack of a strong "bench" outside of California Governor Gavin Newsom. • New Tariffs and "Tariff Checks": Former President Trump announced new tariffs on European countries and an increase for Canada. In response, Senator Josh Hawley proposed the "American Worker Rebate Act of 2025," which would issue "tariff checks" of up to $2,400 per family. The hosts criticized this proposal, arguing that it suggests tariffs raise consumer prices and that the money should instead go towards paying off the national debt, viewing it as an attempt to "buy votes." • Economic Downturn: The Dow Jones, S&P, and NASDAQ experienced a significant dive. This was attributed to the new tariffs and "really bad job numbers" for the month (73,000 seasonally adjusted jobs), compounded by sharp downward adjustments of previous months' numbers by a combined 258,000. • Trump and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS): In response to the poor job numbers, Trump accused BLS Commissioner Dr. Erica Mackinarfer of manipulating monthly jobs reports for political purposes. He also called for Jerome Powell to step down as Fed chair, urging the Fed board to "assume control." The hosts debated whether the job numbers were genuinely manipulated or influenced by seasonal factors, and whether interest rates were being kept artificially high. They agreed that "Trump needs to stay in his damn lane" regarding the Fed. • Mike Collins Running for Georgia Senate: Congressman Mike Collins officially announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate in Georgia. Despite being a Republican and having support from Kemp allies in the state legislature, his campaign faced a mishap when they misspelled "Georgia" in a campaign ad. The hosts noted that this mistake, while "stupid" and "funny," was unlikely to hurt his campaign. • Houston Gaines Running for Congressional Seat: State Representative Houston Gaines announced his bid for Mike Collins' congressional seat, raising over $500,000 in the first 24 hours. The hosts speculated that Gaines's strong reputation and early fundraising success might "clear the field" of other potential candidates for the seat. • White House Makeover: A 90,000-square-foot ballroom is being built at the White House, replacing East Wing edifices. This "significant transformation" is financed entirely by private donations, not taxpayer money. • Sydney Sweeney "Good Jeans" Controversy: An American Eagle denim commercial featuring actress Sydney Sweeney generated controversy, with some on the left labeling it "Nazi propaganda" and "eugenics." This was due to Sweeney's appearance and the play on words regarding "good genes" (referring to genetics) and "jeans" (the clothing). American Eagle did not apologize, and the ad was associated with an increase in sales and stock price. The hosts found the criticism absurd. • Arkansas Teacher Accused of Double Murder: An elementary school teacher was accused of a double murder in Arkansas. He was arrested mid-haircut, with DNA evidence matching blood found at the scene, and brave descriptions from child witnesses. • Danville City Councilman Set on Fire: Danville, Virginia City Councilman Lee Vogler was attacked and set on fire with an accelerant. While the motive is believed to be personal, not political, the act was described as a "different level of hate." • "Mule of the Week" - Georgia Southern Professor: A Georgia Southern Professor named Greg Brock was named "Mule of the Week" for suggesting that citizens in Bullet County take out a home equity line of credit (HELOC) to afford increased school taxes. This suggestion was made during a school board meeting where an unusual number of people were speaking in favor of the tax increases, which the hosts believed was orchestrated. • PBS Shutting Down: The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced it would begin shutting down after Congress canceled its approved funding. This indicated that donations were insufficient to sustain operations. The hosts expressed little disappointment, arguing that PBS and NPR should be self-sufficient through advertising or donations if their content is truly valuable, and that many shows would likely find new homes on streaming services. /episode/index/show/lmtywyw/id/37655975

Ep 381: A Bad Week For Eighties Kids 07/28/2025

Ep 381: A Bad Week For Eighties Kids in Ep. 381 Ken and Dave discuss Kemp going all in on Dooley, the DOJ going after a hiker, ending the state income tax, the Trump Powell dynamic, accusations against Obama, Trump goes down to Southpark, and a sex trafficking dungeon in Alabama. ------ The episode begins with discussions about the hot weather in Georgia and Dave Roberts' recent trip to Nashville, Tennessee, which he found "booming" and "fairly safe" compared to Memphis's Beale Street. There's also a segment on recent celebrity deaths, including Ozzy Osbourne, Hulk Hogan, Malcolm Jamal Warner (Theo Huxtable), Chuck Mangione, and Connie Francis. Dave Roberts also recommended listening to Tucker Carlson's long-form podcast featuring Daryl Cooper, discussing the history of Jeffrey Epstein. Kemp-Dooley Connection & Georgia Senate Race: This topic covers the conflict between President Trump's political team and Governor Brian Kemp over the selection of a Republican candidate for the Georgia Senate race. Kemp is supporting former University of Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley, despite Trump's team being "pissed off" and likely to back Republican Rep. Mike Collins. The hosts express strong opinions against Dooley's candidacy and predict a primary clash. Hiking Prosecution in Grand Teton National Park: The hosts discuss the federal case against Michelino Sunseri, a trail runner cited for going on a closed, unmarked trail. They criticize the prosecution as "overcriminalization," noting that the National Park Service withdrew its support for the case and that it goes against a Trump executive order urging restraint on criminal penalties for unintentional conduct. Georgia Income Tax Elimination Initiative: Lt. Governor Burt Jones is leading a study committee to explore eliminating Georgia's 5% state income tax. The discussion highlights the challenge of replacing the significant revenue and the potential impact on sales and property taxes. Trump Visit to the Fed: This segment covers President Trump's meeting with Jerome Powell at the Federal Reserve to discuss lowering interest rates. Trump also commented on cost overruns for a new Fed building. It was clarified that the Fed fund rate affects car payments and credit cards, but not first mortgage rates. Obama's Treason Allegations: An investigation, initiated by Tulsi Gabbard and the National Intelligence Director, is discussed regarding allegations that Obama undermined Trump's 2016 election victory using a "fake dossier" (the Steele Report). The hosts call for transparency and accountability for figures like John Brennan. Dave Roberts states his belief that former presidents should be prosecuted if they commit crimes. South Park and Trump: The discussion touches on the latest season, Season 27, of South Park, which premiered focusing on "ending awokeness" and featuring a Trump character in a satirical storyline. The hosts emphasize that South Park's creators "have no sacred cows" and satirize everyone. The Mule (Sig Sauer P320): Concerns are raised over accidental discharges of the Sig Sauer P320 (M18 military version), including an incident where an Air Force Security Forces sergeant was killed. The Air Force has suspended its use, but Sig Sauer has refused to pull the pistol from the market. The hosts criticize the pistol's quality and accuracy. Horrible Story from Alabama: A shocking report details the discovery of a storm shelter near Birmingham, Alabama, used for child sex trafficking. Children as young as three and as old as fifteen were found chained, with one suspect being the mother of four of the ten rescued children. The hosts express outrage and call for severe justice for those involved. /episode/index/show/lmtywyw/id/37573095

Ep 380: Making A Cold Play On Crypto 07/21/2025

Ep 380: Making A Cold Play On Crypto Ken and Dave discuss lowering the British voting age, Democrats on Epstein, Florida Man strikes again, Trump’s swollen ankles, ousting Colbert, Chris Carr getting dirty, PBS on its own, and the government gets involved in crypto. ----- This episode of the "Let Me Tell You Why You're Wrong Podcast," hosted by Dave Roberts and Ken Pullin, covers a range of current events and political discussions. • Local Government Issues: Ken Pullin shares insights into Pike County's local government, including his dissent on tax incentives for a solar farm and the general lack of public discussion on important items in commission meetings. He expresses concern about decisions being made without proper deliberation and the absence of televised public meetings in Pike County, advocating for greater transparency. He also critiques past decisions by the Industrial Development Authority, such as losing money on movie studio projects during an economic downturn. • Coldplay "Kiss Cam" Scandal: The hosts discuss the viral incident involving Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR Head Kristine Cabot who were caught on a "Kiss Cam" at a Coldplay concert, leading to Byron being placed on leave. The clip showed them "cuddling and smiling" before attempting to hide when seeing themselves on screen. Social media reactions to the event were also highlighted. • Brant Frost Financial Scandal: An update is provided on Brandt Frost IV, who issued an apology for his actions, taking "full responsibility". The discussion raises questions about whether this will become a criminal matter and mentions calls for politicians to return campaign donations from the Frost family. Notably, Brant Frost V, the son, filed paperwork to create a new lending firm shortly after his father's firm shut down, which the hosts found suspiciously timed. • UK Voting Age & Populism: The UK's decision to lower the voting age to 16 in all elections is debated, with concerns raised about "taxation without representation" as the reasoning and the broader implications for populism in politics. • Epstein List Controversy: The ongoing saga of the Epstein list is touched upon, including the political back-and-forth regarding its release and the recent directive from Trump to release grand jury testimony. The hosts discuss the challenges of linking individuals on flight manifests to illegal activities. • Miscellaneous News: ◦ A Florida man was arrested for molesting goats at a zoo. ◦ A discussion about chimpanzees adopting fashion trends with grass and sticks. ◦ The media's focus on Donald Trump's chronic venous insufficiency (swollen ankles) is contrasted with their perceived lack of attention to President Biden's health. ◦ The cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2026 is announced, with critical commentary on Colbert's comedic style and political focus. ◦ The Georgia Governor's race is mentioned, specifically the legal challenge by Chris Carr against Burt Jones regarding a $10 million campaign loan. ◦ Congress's $9 billion budget cut, including over a billion dollars from NPR and PBS, is discussed and largely supported by the hosts, who argue public broadcasting should be self-funded. ◦ The new "Genius Act" regulating stablecoins is explained, highlighting the benefits of easier international money transfers but also raising concerns about a potential cashless society and government control over finances. /episode/index/show/lmtywyw/id/37475360

Ep 379: Political Ponzi Scheme 07/14/2025

Ep 379: Political Ponzi Scheme Join Dave Roberts and Ken Pullin for Episode 379 of Let Me Tell You Why You Wrong, where they blend backyard reality with political insider drama. They open with life in Pike County under blistering summer skies—Ken’s just marked his 22nd wedding anniversary while juggling his daughter's Georgia Tech orientation (an $85 registration fee!) and the sticker shock of a $700 parking pass (Uber to the rescue, maybe). From there they steer into Atlanta’s frenzy—$400-plus tickets to the MLB All-Star Game, Beyoncé’s surprise country-music stop, and a preview of Whiskey Myers in Macon—before diving headlong into Georgia’s next big showdown. Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones finally threw his hat into the governor’s ring after the filing deadline, self-funding a $10 million launch video that features a surprise walk-on by Donald Trump and fond memories of his days kicking around the Bulldog football field. Dave and Ken unpack Jones’s platform—abolishing the state income tax, fighting fentanyl, barring trans girls from girls’ sports, and ending movie-industry tax credits—and compare it to Attorney General Chris Carr’s $3.5 million war chest, the ever-teasing Marjorie Taylor Greene, and other potential contenders like Brad Raffensperger and Mike Collins. No Georgia episode would be complete without scandal, and this week the Frost family of Newnan steals the spotlight. Once major Republican donors, Brandt Frost 4 and his son Brandt Frost 5 now face an SEC civil suit accusing them of fleecing roughly 300 investors out of $140 million through their “Patriot Funds/Dollars” program, promising implausible 12–18% returns on risky loans while allegedly funneling $19 million into their own pockets (including a $320 000 rental home) and dumping $570 000 into political contributions. They round out the show with a look at federal policy and public-health alarms: DHS’s sudden end to the 19-year shoe-removal rule, Pam Bondi’s flip-flop on the Epstein “no list,” an “activist judge” stay blocking Planned Parenthood defunding, and the routine—but controversial—purge of 478 000 Georgia voter-registration records. On the home front, one in three U.S. teens now carries pre-diabetes, a Delta A330’s engine failure led to a 30-hour layover in the Azores, and Washington County’s DUI cover-up—where private hires of a certain public defender triggered wholesale dismissals—remains a cautionary tale. Unfiltered, unapologetic, and undeniably Georgia, it’s another roller-coaster hour with Dave and Ken. /episode/index/show/lmtywyw/id/37394060

Ep 378: Cool As A Cucumber On Meth 07/07/2025

Ep 378: Cool As A Cucumber On Meth Join hosts Dave Roberts and Ken Pullin for episode 378 of the "Let Me Tell You Why You Wrong Podcast." Just back from his travels, County Commissioner Ken Pullin shares his unique observations and strong opinions on policy, travel, and the latest headlines. Get ready for an unfiltered discussion on legal dramas, political maneuvers, and cultural controversies. Key Topics and Unfiltered Takes: Ken Pullin's Northeast Expedition: Ken Pullin recounts his "super nice" week in Maine, including renting a house on a lake and venturing to Ogunquit for three or four more days. He highlights the stark political contrast between Republican-leaning Kennebunkport (with its "American flags everywhere" and "Trump signs") and the more Democrat-aligned Ogunquit (where "every restaurant has the gay flag out front"). Ken also praises Boston as a "great town", noting the "pride flag" atop the Old State House, visits to Cheers, and the supposedly oldest restaurant in America, the Red Dragon Tavern. He highly recommends Acadia National Park in Maine for its "incredible" scenery and "perfect" weather, sharing a memorable encounter with a bald eagle snatching a fish while kayaking. Plus, insights into the comfort and amenities of Sky Club access during air travel. The "Policy Problem" of Traffic Stops: As a county commissioner, Ken Pullin details getting pulled over in Thomas, Georgia, for an expired car registration. He voices a significant "problem" with the policy allowing police cars to automatically scan vehicle tags and initiate stops when a driver is "not doing anything wrong". Ken argues that an expired car tag is a "civil issue" with the county government, not a "criminal issue" for law enforcement, especially when stopped in a different county. He equates this to his strong dislike for checkpoints, which he considers a "complete fourth amendment violation" if there's no probable cause to stop someone. He notes the car was his daughter's car and humorously anticipates the "walk of shame" to pay the late tag. • National Headlines & Candid Opinions: Nice Try Diddy: Discussion of Diddy being found guilty on only two "lowest charges" related to interstate prostitution, while being acquitted of racketeering (RICO) and sex trafficking. The hosts critique the defense's "victim shaming" approach and highlight the striking discrepancy in penalties between a victimless RICO charge (up to life in prison) and sex trafficking (20 years). Bryan Kohberger's Guilty Plea: An analysis of Bryan Kohberger's unexpected decision to plead guilty to all counts to avoid the death penalty, waiving all rights to appeal. "Alligator Alcatraz" / "Gator Jail": Delving into the controversial facility in the Florida Everglades for deported individuals. From a fiscal conservative standpoint, the hosts defend the facility as humane and fiscally responsible, contrasting it with previous practices. They also discuss the strategic "psychological operation" aspect of publicizing such a facility to deter illegal immigration. Geoff Duncan's Democratic Consideration: Analysis of former Republican Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan mulling a run for Georgia Governor as a Democrat. The hosts express skepticism about the Democratic party's acceptance of Duncan, suggesting his anti-Trump stance is the primary reason for current consideration. "No Wieners in Girls' Sports" & Lia Thomas: A deep dive into the reversal of medals and championships for men competing in women's sports, specifically referencing transgender swimmer Lia Thomas. The US Department of Education agreement requires stripping Lia Thomas of all her medals, restoring Division I records to female athletes, and sending personalized apology letters to each of those swimmers. The hosts emphasize comments from an affected swimmer asking for an "apology for making us undress in front of him". Massive Meth Seizure: The hosts discuss the seizure of "700 pounds of meth" hidden under cucumbers in Gainesville, Georgia, speculating on its Mexican origin. The "Big Expensive Bill": An in-depth look at the massive legislative bill that passed despite Republican control. Key aspects discussed include funding the border wall, cutting welfare for illegals, imposing work requirements for Medicaid recipients, and a significant increase in the deduction cap for State and Local Taxes (SALT) from $10,000 to $40,000 (a "gift to Democrat states"). The controversial "carve-out" for Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska to secure a Senate vote is also examined. Politician Antics: Comments on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' "silliest" eight-hour speech on the House floor, and Representative Nancy Mace's social media antics, including chronicling her drive to D.C. in her pajamas, leading to a discussion on politicians trying to be "social media influencers". Other Noteworthy Segments: The tragic Texas flooding and missing children from Camp Mystic, debunking "erroneous information" spread by "influencers" like Beth Jackson, Donald Trump's "$200 fragrance" named "Fight, Fight, Fight", the attempted comeback of the Chi-Chi's Mexican restaurant chain (after a listeria outbreak), and Dave's 18th wedding anniversary. /episode/index/show/lmtywyw/id/37302255
