Speaker 1 (00:00):
Red Show is ond's biggest stories of the day. Wildfires
in New Jersey. Eighty five hundred acres are burning. Yeah,
New Jersey. I know we've been talking all about the
West Coast Latelien wildfires, but the Greenwood Forest Wildlife Management
Area of Ocean County yesterday morning has been affected by this.
(00:22):
The fire has already burned several businesses and is currently
threatening another thirteen hundred structures. As thick black clouds filled
the sky, worsening air quality, authorities ordered more than three
thousand evacuations. Numerous roads were closed, including a portion of
the Garden State parkwayin the state's main artery. Power outages
have also affected more than twenty five thousand customers. Only
(00:44):
ten percent of the wildfire has been contained. The cause
of the blaze is under investigation. People don't want to
talk about politics. I don't want to talk about politics.
We don't talk about politics, no matter how hard some
people try and find like the cracks. I'm like man,
my favorite let me tell you. I'm wearing a blue jacket.
Say he's a Democrat. I know it. I know it.
(01:08):
You and Sleepy Joe hang together, aren't you.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Cream?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I'm like man, he loves ice cream. I want to
go to the zoo se an elephant this weekend. I
always knew it. It's like gods, We're like, we go
out of our way not to talk about this stuff.
But the Food and Drug Administration is phasing out the
use of artificial dyes, which is using Cheetos, Skittles and
many other snacks. Hopefully by the end of the year.
(01:34):
The policy chains will hit food and drink companies like Pepsi,
General Mills, and Kellogg and Canyon's Clapping, which is why
I did the story.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
That's a win for everyone. It's great ast bipartisan.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Honey, it can't be good die die.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
You can use vegetable dye like they do in other countries.
It's all good.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Food and beverage companies use additives like red dive forty.
If it's called red dive fort What happened to the
first thirty nine? Did we reject the thirty nine and
then we go, oh, forty is the one that's gonna
be the one? Red dye forty to give cereal, sports
drinks and other products bright hues that attract shoppers. But
backlash against artificial color and has been brewing in the
US for more than a decade. The FDA is taking
(02:10):
several actions, including setting a national standard and timeline for
the food industry to transition from petroleum based food dice
to natural alternatives. Instagram trying to be TikTok kiki yep,
another day, another attempt. They have launched the edits app,
which is a lot like cap cut, which is what
you would use on TikTok to make videos. It allows
(02:31):
users to shoot an edit video using features like background
replacement and automatic captioning. Man, no one's doing that, you know,
no one's on here doing that. These guys are on
the cutting edge. So with TikTok's future in the US uncertain,
or at least that's the narrative they'd like you to believe,
whte dances of course, facing a mid June deadline to
sell the app or have it banned, so cap cut
(02:53):
would also shut her. But Instagram is there, Meta is
there to save the day. Mark Zuckerberg has a solution,
and it's told the same thing as TikTok.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
But the problem with Mark and I love my boy Mark,
but he doesn't. It never works as well as TikTok.
It's very slow, very it's not easy to use, it's
not use a friendly and it makes me upset.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
As a late adopter. I have to tell you that
the Instagram reels. They don't hit from me the same way.
They just don't hit. They don't hit like TikTok does.
I'm sorry, you know, but I've had a lot of
misses in my life. You know. I was the guy.
I remember exactly where I was when they announced the iPad,
and I was like, now, why the hell when I
need that? You know, like, why do I need a
(03:35):
cross between an iPhone and a laptop? I got both.
I'm good. I'm never buying that. I own like six Okay,
I've had every version of it, So this is in TikTok.
Why the hell?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, you were anti well.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Social media in general was hard for me because I'm like,
you want me to take pictures of my own face
and post them for other people, Like, nobody wants to
see that, nobody cares, you know what I mean? But
you know, it turns people very much care, and people
have made millions of dollars documenting their lives every day
in ways I never thought anybody would care. I still
sometimes wonder why anyone cares what we have to say here,
(04:11):
but God bless you for it is the thirteen. You
guys are strong and mighty. In most of the cities,
I don't think anyone. I don't think the radio works
in Salt Lake City, but everywhere else it's going very well.
Oh yeah, well no, not really, but you know it's
you know that excited. No, I was exciting in Norfolk,
it's very exciting. We have a we have a one
(04:32):
share now there, which means that there are four people listening.
And I was very upset about that, and I called
management and said, I'm very very sorry about these horrible ratings.
They said, no, that's double what we have to Oh,
so that's exciting. We went in two to four. Oh
this is great. No, this is great. This is what
I'm doing. We gotta find wins in different ways, you know,
But I don't know. So here we are. I just
don't think Instagram. The reels just don't hit the same way.
(04:55):
They don't. Yeah. Golf course in California has gone viral
for a parking lot of fair so Skylinks at Buchanan Fields,
which is a small, family friendly, nine whole golf course
in the East Bay is now in the social media
spotlight after posting a very blunt PSN instagram the message
to the married woman in the black car and the
guy in the silver car, please stop using our parking
(05:15):
lot for your weekly hookups. There was a whole statement
on their Instagram. The owners, including one named Kiwi I
guess it's a nickname, confirmed that they've got the footage,
but don't worry, they won't release it. They're not trying
to destroy lives. They just want their course back from
becoming what they called a drive through a hookup spot.
This isn't the kind of hole in one that we encourage,
(05:36):
is what Kiwi had to say. So stop having an
affair in the parking lot of the golf course.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Stop having an affair freak period.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
And then we were talking about it yesterday. There's a
whole thing in Charlotte Southend or wherever and Charlotte is
somewhere in the city. There's the couple that got caught
on the roof of a parking garage getting it on
and you know, the internet will internet, and they did
so this was last week, so somebody filmed them, yes,
and then you know, then that goes out there and
then everybody figures out who they are employment right, where
(06:06):
they are, where they work, notifies their families. You know,
it's everybody. It's everybody and everybody. Everybody has to get
in on it. And now we know, so don't be
doing this stuff. I don't feel bad for them, right
because it turns out I guess they were both married
and and they both had they were like relatively prominent
in the city people know, y oh yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
They couldn't afford a hotel, right, and it's.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Supposed to do that in the back of a car.
You know what. This was high school, right, yeah. A
research team has captured chimpanzees sharing booze. Who's the fruits
in this case? Now this is interesting though. I was like, huh,
I'm going to share this story with the people today.
Primates like booze just as much as humans do. Apparently,
(06:49):
British researchers studying chimpanzees have caught them on camera eating
and sharing alcoholic fruit. So it was a team from
several different universities in West Africa. They recorded the chimps
sharing fermented African bread fruit. The fruit was confirmed to
contain ethanol. The scientists think that the tradition of feasting
primates and humans both like to do. This might actually
(07:12):
have some sort of tide is sharing alcohol or boozy
fruit over time. But they say the chimps don't normally
share food, so this behavior with fermented fruit might be important.
So you can't have my food, but come over here, lady, lady,
have a drink with me. It's a date, right, yep,
that's what I mean. They socialize over the booze, but
don't don't come for my you know, whatever they eat.
I agree, you can't have that, but sure you can
(07:34):
have some of my boozy fruit. It'll be fine. And
then I have several police related alcohol related stories for
you just to finish off today. If it's not a
food story, it's a crazy cop story. But a Florida
man casually offered deputies of vodka spritzer in the middle
of a car chase. He allegedly stole the car from
a convenience store along with the booze. This dude's name
is Richard Christopher Smith. He allegedly took items from a market,
(07:57):
including several alcoholic beverages, and walked out the vehicle. It
was during the pursuit that he held out a can
of Kettle One vodka spritz, seeing if maybe the deputies
you were chasing him would like it. He then tossed
it at them and later said, you guys had fun, right,
I was just trying to give you a drink. He
was later tased and arrested. And also a and I
(08:18):
want to hear both sides of the story here, but
a USPS worker postal worker was arrested in Melbourne, Florida,
after she drank alcohol at a house party on her
route and then was caught driving the wrong way in traffic. WHOA,
she was just doing her job, socializing with the customers.
You know, she's a house party. Maybe it was a weekend.
I'm not sure. She rolls up, Hey, hey, postal lady,
(08:39):
why don't you come have a drink with us? Before long,
she's driving the wrong way. I also can see how
this would happen because those postal vehicles have the steeringwheel
on the wrong side. A lot of them are in
there on the wrong side of the I can see
how you might get confused. Yeah what, Kiki, this is
perfectly reasonable. You know, no one should be drinking and driving.
But I mean, come on, now, well my packages. Police
(08:59):
are notified that the USPS mail truck was driving in
the opposite travel lane and the driver was throwing plastic
cups out of the vehicle, so we had we had
multiple plastic cups boost with us and then actually physically
drink and drive. The worker was arrested on charge of
d uy So maybe called, maybe you pull up to
the house party and decide I'm just gonna leave the
(09:20):
truck here for today. Come get your own mail, all
open the back, It'll be right there. It's National Lost
Dog Awareness Date, National Administrative Professionals Day, National Take a
Chance State, National Picnic Day, and National Talk Like Shakespeare Day. Okay,
I was, I was trying to come up with a
Shakespeare quote on the fly, but I'm not sure if
I can that will doth protest too much? There? Pressed? Yeah,
(09:44):
isn't it is? Did you do Romeo and Juliet? He
certainly did? For art thou Romeo? Right here? I'm right here,
been there all along, Yeah, just right across the way. Yeah.
I have a very impressive book of all of Shakespeare
plays from college that I had to carry around for
an entire semester as an English major. Did you have
to do this pollonic It's a big green book like Bible,
(10:05):
like those thin pages. It looks super cool at my bookshelf.
