Ep. 5557: Shopping Cart Theory.

March 6, 2026·1 hr 30 min·8 clips

Preston Scott claims most people who don't put shopping carts away are 'illiberals,' based on bumper stickers and grocery types.

Shopping carts start the argument. The host lays out his theory with his usual dry bite, separating handicapped parking exceptions from the bigger mess of carts left by people who seem perfectly able. He keeps it simple. To him, the cart is not really about cleanup. It is a small tell about responsibility when nobody is making you do the decent thing. Listeners can argue back. He invites pushback as the next hour opens, pitching the theory as something that, in his telling, has already taken the nation by storm. Then the show turns. A clip from Florida State Representative Ashley Viola Gant pulls the hour out of everyday behavior and into political speech and public memory. She challenges the word assassination. The host snaps to attention when Gant says Charlie Kirk's death should be called death by gun violence, not an assassination. He hears selective precision. Her comments about free speech, Florida ties, divisiveness, and Kirk being mediocre at best give him plenty to work with, mostly sarcasm. The second voice stays in the passenger seat. Quick reactions and incredulous prompts keep the segment moving, but the main monologue keeps control. The pace is brisk, almost jumpy. Cart etiquette, First Amendment language, and Florida politics sit right next to each other with little interest in tidy transitions. That is part of the feel. iHeart reminders, listener setup, and national grievance all roll through the same hour. The close opens back up again. The host references 2 Corinthians 4.18, runs through press-box stories, reminds listeners to spring clocks forward, and mentions Kristi Noem and Mark Wayne Mullen. He gives it an A. The signoff is friendly, a little pleased with itself, and clearly built for regulars who already know the show's rhythm.

As heard by us

Blunt talk radio that jumps from a cart gripe to politics, free speech, and Scripture.

It opens on a shopping cart gripe and then keeps moving, quick enough to touch Florida politics, free speech, Scripture, and the daylight saving reminder without ever settling in for long.
