[SPEAKER_12]: Hi, welcome to our show.

[SPEAKER_12]: Michael Merra, radio entertainment.

[SPEAKER_07]: We have today.

[SPEAKER_12]: It's the Michael Merra Show with Michael Merra and Rob Spuac.

[SPEAKER_12]: Now here's my...

[SPEAKER_04]: I thought it might be fun today to do a little throwback video of a video that came across my feed and a feed that I think there's a year ago maybe more that that I got this and this to me is what it's all about.

[SPEAKER_04]: If you want to know what we'll put you in a good mood and make you

[SPEAKER_04]: All I know about this is it's a couple of as Irish as Irish can be from the old side island parents that appear to be sending a video to their daughter who is abroad who is with child and their new to the technology like many people in my age group and they just lose it.

[SPEAKER_04]: and it's just as joyful and experienced.

[SPEAKER_04]: The only way I find this when I'm looking for it again is when I say I look up high orla because their daughter's name I believe is orla.

[SPEAKER_04]: I hope or they're pronouncing it differently but orla is their daughter.

[SPEAKER_05]: Even with the thickest brog orla doesn't become something else does it?

[SPEAKER_05]: Hi orla.

[SPEAKER_04]: and it's just, it's joyous.

[SPEAKER_04]: So to start the show today, enjoy the parents that can't handle the video.

[SPEAKER_04]: Okay?

[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, gentlemen.

[SPEAKER_07]: Hi, Olla.

[SPEAKER_07]: Hope you have a wonderful time.

[SPEAKER_07]: Won't be long now to your whole... You're okay.

[SPEAKER_07]: Baby.

[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, sorry, nope.

[SPEAKER_07]: Love you, but for not just to make me want to, and I know everything that we fought.

[SPEAKER_07]: Stop, everything will be fine for you, don't you?

[SPEAKER_11]: Please, sorry.

[SPEAKER_04]: The father is the problem here.

[SPEAKER_04]: It's beautiful.

[SPEAKER_07]: Hold her in our arms.

[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, she's our girl.

[SPEAKER_07]: No, you and Shaw will make wonderful parents.

[SPEAKER_05]: That's not a place to laugh.

[SPEAKER_04]: No, it isn't.

[SPEAKER_04]: It's a great, you're a beautiful.

[SPEAKER_07]: I'm sorry, y'all.

[SPEAKER_07]: It's not for me, sorry, sweetheart, how do you make?

[SPEAKER_07]: I'm sorry. [SPEAKER_07]: I'm sorry. [SPEAKER_04]: Watch the whole. [SPEAKER_04]: I love that so much. [SPEAKER_05]: I love that was maybe alcohol touched was that no That that's a stereotype. [SPEAKER_04]: You not begging I didn't see my potatoes. [SPEAKER_04]: That's an Irish slur. [SPEAKER_05]: My man No, I don't think it is because I'm just trying to figure out their behavior They said that was like their fifth or sixth take so they've been making each other laugh all night [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know what it is. [SPEAKER_04]: It's just the combination. [SPEAKER_04]: It's, uh, that just, uh, and looking to your future. [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: Well, it's just, it's love is what it is. [SPEAKER_04]: It's just funny. [SPEAKER_04]: And I, I, I love that, uh, you know, the, is there anything better than losing it when you're not supposed to lose it? [SPEAKER_04]: I, the hardest phenomena. [SPEAKER_06]: That's the most part, I'm sorry, Josh. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, I was just going to say that's how Kimmel should have started yesterday. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, shut up to shut up you. [SPEAKER_04]: Let me tell you about Kimmel. [SPEAKER_04]: Let's talk to you brought it up here's what I wrote about I came to today Jimmy Kimmel hits all the right notes. [SPEAKER_04]: I thought that Jimmy Kimmel Jimmy Kimmel is an emotional guy. [SPEAKER_04]: I am going back [SPEAKER_04]: and watched his tribute to Don Rickles, one of my all-time favorites, more times than I can tell you. [SPEAKER_04]: I consume almost all of my Jimmy Kimmel online. [SPEAKER_04]: Like I mentioned yesterday, you know, that's how I get most of my late night stuff that I have. [SPEAKER_04]: And let me tell you that I'm not sure whether [SPEAKER_04]: He was told to do certain things. [SPEAKER_04]: There is an element of apology in this that if sinclair required it, I'm not going to say that that was not pre-arranged and carefully, you know, that's what it does in the gap. [SPEAKER_06]: But he was very careful for it to not be an apology. [SPEAKER_04]: Well, you don't think it was an apology. [SPEAKER_04]: I think it was a tremendous apology to because what he did in his apology was mentioned the person that should be mentioned in this. [SPEAKER_04]: And here's what he said, Josh, at the beginning there. [SPEAKER_06]: I do. [SPEAKER_06]: I like to make him a little. [SPEAKER_06]: I don't even think he wrote his, what he said last week, some write a wrote that and I think yesterday what we saw was him responding honestly and speaking from the whole himself. [SPEAKER_05]: The only thing I noticed, Michael has kind of like what you said is I didn't get a chance to watch it because WJLA is in Clare, so I don't get it in my local market, but I watch this morning that is just such ridiculous censorship in my opinion to do that. [SPEAKER_05]: it was I think it did hit all the notes and I think it wasn't a apology but I think it was so precisely written. [SPEAKER_04]: I was written I think he had a part in it. [SPEAKER_04]: The apology he apologized to those he may have hurt. [SPEAKER_04]: One of the things I have, my political views are remarkably similar to Jimmy Kimmel's. [SPEAKER_04]: The way he approaches compassion is very similar to the way I approach compassion. [SPEAKER_04]: And one of the things in Josh, you can correct me if I'm wrong, because you were somebody who was affected by this and by this murder of Charlie Kirk. [SPEAKER_04]: think that what I said at the time was, this is the last time we want to talk about anything other than the fact that this was a human being. [SPEAKER_04]: I don't give a rat's ass what he said leading up to that. [SPEAKER_04]: It didn't matter. [SPEAKER_04]: He was someone who was, you know, unapurly father, [SPEAKER_04]: son, daughter, widow, level, a human being being murdered by a wackadoodle, and I think that Jimmy Kimmel reiterated that that ultimately it was not his intent to upset the or be little the fact that a man [SPEAKER_04]: was murdered and I think that then he actually I believe he is sincere when he gets emotional about that. [SPEAKER_04]: I really do believe that because I felt emotional about that when you talk about people hurting the time to [SPEAKER_04]: Chastise Charlie Kirk was not that time. [SPEAKER_04]: That's the last time you want to do it. [SPEAKER_04]: And the people that consider themselves compassionate who chose that time to list the quotes from Charlie Kirk, [SPEAKER_04]: the absolute worst, you don't, that's just not when you're if you're complaining about people having lack of empathy and people not being inclusive and you choose to put that up, you've lost your credibility as far as I'm concerned. [SPEAKER_04]: He [SPEAKER_04]: When he talked about the timing of what he said, I believe there was a genuine remorse. [SPEAKER_04]: And Matt, we will flip everything. [SPEAKER_05]: I think supports what you say here. [SPEAKER_04]: I think because he does it emotionally here. [SPEAKER_04]: OK, let's look at Jimmy Kimmelett. [SPEAKER_02]: Good for you. [SPEAKER_02]: OK. [SPEAKER_02]: To tell you your followers, that our government [SPEAKER_02]: cannot be allowed to control what we do and do not say on television and that we have to stand up to it. [SPEAKER_02]: I've been hearing a lot about what I need to say and do tonight and the truth is I don't think what I have to say is going to make much of a difference if you like me like me if you don't you don't. [SPEAKER_02]: I have no illusions about changing anyone's mind but I do want to make something clear because it's important to me as a human and that is you understand that it was never [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think there's anything funny about it. [SPEAKER_02]: I posted a message on Instagram of the Dave's killed sending a love to his family and asking for a compassion and I meant it. [SPEAKER_02]: I still do. [SPEAKER_02]: Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what it was obviously a deeply disturbed individual. [SPEAKER_02]: That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make, but I understand that to some that felt either ill-timed or unclear. [SPEAKER_02]: that were maybe both. [SPEAKER_02]: And for those who think I did point a finger, I get why you're upset. [SPEAKER_02]: If the situation was reverses a good chance, I'd have felt the same. [SPEAKER_04]: BAM. [SPEAKER_04]: And that to me is that that is striking the note as far as I'm I agree with you. [SPEAKER_06]: And I like Kim. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, he was in a tough spot yesterday. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, because sing Claire and next time wanted an apology. [SPEAKER_06]: And apparently there was they kept that monologue from his staff ahead of time because the staff was fighting with him during rehearsal that if you apologize, we're walking off mid show. [SPEAKER_06]: So, he had a really tough line. [SPEAKER_06]: I think that's why you didn't hear him say, I'm sorry. [SPEAKER_06]: Instead, you just told him, heard him say, I understand. [SPEAKER_04]: And that's a kind of walk the middle line. [SPEAKER_04]: I think understanding and sorry is, you know, and I didn't hear that about the staff. [SPEAKER_04]: Is that, is that, is that a sourced story? [SPEAKER_04]: Or is that from like Jesse Waters or something like that? [SPEAKER_04]: I want to make sure that we know that that was, [SPEAKER_04]: I'd like to know because I think it's important when you hear that that, you know, and who's to say if that was the case that they wouldn't have walked out after the fact that I just want to make sure that we got our facts straight. [SPEAKER_05]: I do understand that, you know, he never really said, I am sorry, but the note of that, and again, I'm not backing off of the fact that this was a very precisely written, [SPEAKER_05]: message to make sure that there were no missteps in either direction. [SPEAKER_05]: However, what he said, I found it very satisfying and very real. [SPEAKER_05]: And I an emotional, I think he's a genuine guy. [SPEAKER_05]: And the fact that he didn't say he's sorry, doesn't weaken that message to me. [SPEAKER_05]: The fact that he understands is more. [SPEAKER_04]: more here's what uh... every guardless i don't really Josh it doesn't matter to me and it's on the other and it's on daily mail but then it's also a story here that that the staff g
