MONDAY MADNESS W/ SPECIAL GUEST: CHIP MATTHEWS (Ep #950)

I twisted Chip Matthews arm into sitting in with me for 2 full hours this morning so I could have someone in-studio to bounce a bunch of different topics off of and I believe we created some radio gold this morning!!

1- I saw a "Let's talk Rankin County" Facebook group post about 2 women arguing because one of the cut in line in front of the other one in the Pearl Wal-Mart grocery p/u line. This spawned a conversation about how lazy we've gotten, we're literally fighting on the internet about someone cutting the other person off in line instead of getting out of our vehicles to fight in the line where the disrespect happened.

2- I got out and held signs and waived at Brandon citizens on behalf of Mayoral candidate Fred Shanks this weekend and was shocked at how nasty some of the current mayors supporters were to us, flipping us off and cussing at us to support their guy was interesting to say the least (keep in mind the majority of our group were women 40 & older so it just wreaked of disrespect)

3- The conversation about Brandon politics turned into a conversation about voter I.D. laws in Mississippi and I was blown away to find out Chip's claims about Mississippi voters being allowed to vote without an I.D. as long as they brought it back within 5 business days and then finding out that you can vote with an expired I.D. that's been expired for 10 years.

4. Over the weekend an illegal immigrant was arrested in Brookhaven, Mississippi for destroying a Tesla with a set of wire cutters at a Wal-Mart in what I consider an act of political terrorism.

5- Ridgeland, Ms. Police Chief Brian Meyers is upset with the changes in PERS to new hires, Chip and I discuss why we disagree with his point and take a dive into why PERS is bad for everyone else not in it.
