Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Wednesday, So you know, yayfor that. We like that getting to
the halfway point. And just becauseit has pretty much been the standard over
the last few weeks, everybody's stillout of their mind. It's not just
you. I know, you're sittingthere, You're going on to Twitter.

(00:24):
You're like, I don't know,does it seem like crazier than usual?
And I think it does, andit's a combination of things, but yeah,
I'm not Yeah, I think wehave lulls, we have valleys and
peaks and everything. But it makesdoing a show easy, so we definitely

(00:48):
appreciate that component. Provides lots ofgood audio, probably much to Ross's dismay
since he's one who has to dubit in and leap it out and do
all that. But you know,that's the still doing business, all right.
I was just reading something so fascinatingbefore the show, and look,
is it as fascinating as the Presidentof the United States in Florida yesterday saying

(01:11):
this in a sense, I don'tknow why he's We're surprised by Trump.
How many times he have to provewe can't be trusted? Hmm, I
don't know how many? What isthe number? How many. Maybe that's
an interview. I don't know,mister president. How many times do you
have to prove you can't be trusted, not just you, but all those

(01:34):
around you? I don't know,but I feel like a lot of people
hit that number just saying Ross,do you think you've hit that number?
Although, to be fair, Igenerally had that feeling about all the politicians.
So so he said that, andthen and that, you know what,

(01:55):
there's there's more on this. I'mgoing to get to this, let
me do let me do this,and I'll tell you about this fascinating article
because I really want to package dealall of the presidential insanity here. So
he was in Florida and that Ican only think he said that because he

(02:20):
wanted to detract from something that insane. Other insane thing that he said,
but one that is kind of Idon't know, it's it's politiciany. He
you know, he's sitting there witha rally of folks. He's got Nikki
Freed, that psychopath who is whatag former AG commissioner Florida ran for gubernatorial
primary last time around. Got smokedanyway, So oh that's great, all

(02:50):
right, I don't need to popup, thank you. So in addition
to that, he's at this rallyin Florida and it's it looks like they
tricked residents of a senior living facilityinto some sort of common space with free

(03:10):
food offers. But and only afew of them showed up. That being
said, he's got he's got freedthere and a couple other people, and
I had to watch. I watchedthe President of the United States, who
is a purported Catholic. I know, I know, I know, because

(03:34):
you're trying to square You're like,well, wait a second, how how
can you claim to be Forget thatfor a moment. That's not even the
worst part. But I watched thePresident of the United States, who,
if you remember, was referred toas quote the most Catholic president ever.

(03:57):
I'm trying to remember who made that. I can't remember if it was it
was at Jean Pierre who said thatwhatever, it might have been socky back
in the day. So this isa this is for all practical purposes,
an abortion rally. Okay, that'swhat they're talking about. That's the gist.

(04:18):
Obviously, that is kind of oneof the driving issues. So pretty
much anywhere Biden's doing a campaign rallythat is likely to be a topic of
discussion. This in in Florida,it is really the you know, the
driver for where they're rallying people.And that's fine. You can go ahead
and rally on whatever political issue youwant and then voters will judge. And

(04:43):
then he did something that I've donea thousand times before as somebody who you
know, we were, My familywas Catholic from birth. In the middle
of a woman talking about, hey, you know, let's let's the abortion
stuff, Joe Biden did the signof the Cross, right, And I

(05:05):
guess for those of you if you'veever watched somebody you know, you know
they do the four point touch,right, so you know, father son
and the Holy Spirit the hand,Okay, all right, during a discussion
about abortion at an abortion rally,he did the sign of the Cross.
And I don't know, man,I find that insane. That's just me

(05:34):
doing that in the middle of Now, to be fair, he might have
needed to bless himself, right,because that's what you So when you do
the sign of the Cross, that'sthat's you blessing yourself before you begin prayers.

(05:58):
Okay, that's that's there's there's morecomplexity. That being said, there's
that's why you have to a lotof complexity within the Catholic religion. But
as the most Catholic president ever orwhatever he had, he knows or he
used to know. I don't know, but I mean, I know,

(06:21):
I know, but I don't knowif he knows. But it was really
awkward, man. I was honestly, I was waiting for for the wafers
to show up or something, andit's it it you know what it reminded
me of. It reminded me ina small way of when like some musician

(06:43):
goes, all right, so forthe video to my hit song, We're
gonna do this black mass satany thingright where it's like, you know,
where there's an intent to uh,to really irritate people. But then I
realized it just Joe By and Joebecause he's also you know, spouting the
thing I played in a sense,I don't know why he's we're surprised by

(07:06):
Trump? How many times he haveto prove we can't be trusted? Right?
So who the hell knows? Allright? Six fifteen KCO Day Radio
program. So what was the fascinatingthing I just read? It was an
account of what might have been onin a very very famous TV show that

(07:31):
I had no idea about. I'llfill you in on that plus the rest
of the news of the day.We'll get to it KCO Day radio program
Ross Married with Children, Yay,your nay? What are your thoughts on
that show? That was one ofthe shows growing up that I wasn't really
allowed to watch, but I wouldlike try to, like sneak watch.
Yeah, it was like a dirtyshow. My mom was like, it's
a dirty show. Yeah, whatare you doing it? You know?

(07:54):
It was it was like the twoshows I can remember like that. I
was like, for you know,you're forbidden from watching these shows Married with
Children and Beat with and butt Head, and I watch both of them.
What no, I'm telling your mom? Dude, Well I'm a I said
you. I'm gonna send your moman email right now. What's your email
address? Does she have one?To my mother does not have internet?

(08:16):
Yeah, that's what I was gota driving out. All right, you're
gonna be in trouble next time youtalk to her. But could you imagine
without Peggy al and Peggy The actorand actor and actress segel And O'Neill,
No, they sort of like theysort of like became those characters. They're
those actors or those characters. Wheneveryou see them in something else, you're

(08:39):
like, that's Albundy or that's PeggyBundy. And you know, he's had
a lot of success in although there'sa there's striking similarities to his character with
was a Modern Family. Right Youever seen any of The Modern Family with
Albert Bright. You watch it andyou're like, that's the show with Albundy.
Yeah, which is I I'm finewith. But it almost wasn't them.

(09:01):
In fact, I was reading thisabout when they wrote the show,
who they actually wanted to play AlanPeg and it was neither of those two.
It was some pretty famous comedians atthe time. And the problem was
the two comedians hated each other,I guess, or wouldn't they didn't They

(09:22):
wouldn't work together. I don't knowif hated is the right word, but
they ain't get along, and soit got really complicated, and so they
had to expand their search and theyand some other ideas. But the two
initial individuals that writers wanted for forPeggy was Roseanne Barr. Okay, I

(09:48):
get yeah, you'd see some youknow, she she was right in the
middle of the whole domestic goddess upstartwhen she was really hitting her. I
don't know, man, he said, Rose in Bar. Yeah, because
when she first came out, shewas sort of like big you know,
and Peggy say what you want aboutPeggy Bundy, she was kind of like,
you know hot, right. Yeah, Well it was the Yeah,

(10:09):
it was the like she had theshape where it was the whole thing where
it was like that was an extralayer where every time she, you know,
get flurry with Ali didn't want anythingto do with it, and he'd
like, what's wrong with her?So, but the the lead, the
AWL character was written for Sam Kinnison. It's been amazing, I mean and

(10:37):
no, because he has way toomuch energy to be al buddy. Yeah,
if you're going to give it upright, El Bundy's on the couch
and you're right, he's defeated.He's a defeated man, and Sam Kinnison
is not defeated. Sam Kinnison islike, I will yell at you until
I get what I want, right, So that those two when they realized
that wasn't going to work on Owl. Next up, Michael Richards, Yeah,

(11:07):
like like like Kramer, Kramer,Yeah, that's crazy. Maybe maybe
he could have pulled it off.I don't know. Uh and uh so
they're they're going through and then fora moment they're like, I don't know
for we're just not finding people,and then Ed O'Neill's agent set him down
and uh or Ed O'Neil decided hewas going to go audition. O'Neill's agent
called him and told him, yourloone, this is an upstart network.

(11:31):
This is bad for your career.And I think before then he had been
in scarface. Yeah, I'm notsure what all things he had been in
there, but it's super weird tosee him in that. He's like wearing
this this suit, like the Miamisuit, and he's like, yeah,
or am I thinking of Miami Vicehe was one of the two. I
think it's like yeah, but Ican't remember him. Weird when you see

(11:52):
a character free whatever their defining roleis, right, So the Richards said,
but I guess when O'Neal went downthere, he when he was reading
for him, he threw in thatsigh that he that he did like and
they said, oh, that's that'shim. And then Katie sigal Er say,
I can't remember I pronounced her name. She was a you know,

(12:13):
she was in the rock bands.That was her thing. She was a
musician. And she showed up literallywearing that, you know, that kind
of outfit because of who she was. She dressed like that as as a
rocket roller. And they're like soldAnd I didn't realize that when they shot
the pilot, the two kids weredifferent actors, and they tested it and

(12:37):
while they liked it, they didn'tthey didn't like the kids in there,
so they just recast them and boom, there you go. But yeah,
man, and uh and so Iwas reading this and the impetus was it
was uh. But they Sam Kinnisondid did come and play a different character
on the show for a couple episodes, and apparently it was at that point

(13:00):
that producers realized what a bullet theyhad dodged. According to and remember,
this isn't a time in Hollywood whenyou didn't have a me too movement running
around, You didn't have intimacy coordinators, you didn't have DEI officials from the
network there. And yet they saythe Kinnison during his time on set so

(13:26):
offended every member of the cast andcrew. Let's see here, every member
of the cast and crew. Becausehe showed up on the first day of
filming and proceeded to when being introduced, you know, everyone's standing around for
they start filming, he turned aroundand mooned everybody, and once Kinison later

(13:50):
realized that he might have offended folks, he invited everyone to a birthday dinner
at Spago to make amends. Andthen when they showed up, Kennison,
who at the time had the youknow the screw you money, instead had
strippers serve everyone. I don't Idon't know how they agreed to that,

(14:11):
but whatever, I think. Theweird trivia with that show. You know,
it's connected to professional wrestling, allright, I've heard, I've heard,
I don't remember. Yeah, thecreators of the show were big professional
wrestling fans. King Kong Bundy wason an episode of it, right,
But the Bundys were named after KingKong Bundy and the neighbors next door the
Roads. It was spelled differently,but they were. It was after Dusty
Rhodes. Oh really, yep,you know it's funny. It's funny too

(14:35):
because let's see here, because thereis speaking of the creator here we go,
Yeah, Gary Cohen. Apparently theshooting went so well that by the
third day, Kennison reportedly waved agun and threatened to shoot Cohen because after

(14:56):
filming, Cohen's trying to find hisgirlfriend, who was a big Sam Kinison
fan. Yeah, and so Cohenwent over to Kennison's house to find his
girlfriend and Kennison came out. Iguess I don't. I've heard it described
as either pants less or in hisunderwear waving a gun at him. So
all sorts of crazy. Man.I wonder if Sam Kennison was on anything.

(15:22):
I can't believe that out okay,clean living there man. So yeah
that, Uh, I'm sorry Ifound that. Uh that married with children's
stuff. Fascinating, man, absolutelyfascinating. I just don't think it would
have worked Roseanne bar and Sam Kennison, who, by the way, got
no problem there. Uh you know, Kennison's nuts, but uh I his

(15:46):
comedy albums man probably ruined me gettinga hold of those things when I was
younger. But holy crap, Ican't see that not being Ed O'Neill or
Roseanne for that matter. On thepeggy side. So all right, A
couple things yesterday there was a veryvery big, big deal regulatory ruling.

(16:15):
And keep in mind this is thisis when people say, you know,
unelected bureaucrats doing stuff and how impactfulit can be. This isn't a good
example of it. You can agreeor disagree with it, but you can't
argue that it is not impactful.So federal regulators, with the Federal Trade

(16:37):
Commission, on Tuesday afternoon, tooka vote on a new rule, and
it is a rule that will haveimpact on millions and millions of Americans.
How many of you, as partof your employment have a non compete,

(16:57):
you know, within the with inmy industry, it is very common,
so full disclosure, I have oneof these, or I maybe I do.
I don't know, but you know, you get a lot of sales
jobs will have these, not justwithin radio, TV but in general.

(17:18):
And I've seen non competes on medicalpractitioners, you name it. But yeah,
I have mixed I have mixed emotionsabout it because I you know,
in in my now getting away frommy stuff, I want to be clear,
I'm not talking about any specifics withyou know, my my employment relationship,

(17:42):
but rather conceptually, Okay, Isee non competes, as I understand,
especially in the world of TV andradio to some extent, what's up
with that, right, because you'reyour branding personality and stuff, and there's
a lot of minutia there. ButI also see where if you're going to

(18:07):
do non competes, why severance isa thing that needs to be there.
So you know, hypothetically, ifyou have a non compete and severance let's
say six months each or whatever,right, then for six months you may
not be able to work under whateverthe restrictions are, but you're still receiving
your compensation. You know, duringthat time. Take the time you can.

(18:30):
You can still probably negotiate, dependingon what your says, but the
reality is or maybe you can't,but you can kind of have an eye
on the ball to get you adrift. The FTC says no, and
the overwhelming majority of non competes.Although don't run and scream at your boss

(18:51):
yet, because I think it's won'ttake effect for one hundred and twenty days
are finished, unless you know somelegal wrangling Congress involves. I'm not sure.
I'm sure there'll be a lawsuit forsenior executives though, And this is
a very very high threshold. Theynon competes can still work, and they

(19:17):
get into all the reasons why,and it's a lot of it's about strategy
and you know company secret stuff likethat. So that's great, just boom.
One day they're there, one daythey're not. And look, I've
seen people not just in my industry, but or not just with you know,
people within the radio industry, butalso people within TV and whatnot.

(19:40):
And I pay attention to this stuffbecause it's it's you know, within the
business. It may not be stuffI talk about on the air, but
I'll see stories where there's like somehost went from one place and then went
to the other and it sure lookedlike they've fulfilled their non compete requirements,
but then the former employer sues andit looks like it's just to be petty.
And I've also seen people sign themand then just go hey, why

(20:03):
don't you as sue me, andthen lawsuits do it when they just decide
they're going to ignore it. Solike I get all sides, and you
can have an opinion one way orthe other. The way it was couched
is that the non compete was somethingthat is devious and was wholly based on
employers wanting to remove control and tampdown on their employees, you know,

(20:26):
basically a way to let them know, yeah, sure you can quit,
but if you do for six monthsor whatever it is, you're not gonna
work. And then that forced peopleto stay in that job. And yeah,
I can I can see it,and I do think that that's motivation
on the part of some but allI can also understand the other arguments,
and then it just comes down toyour individual negotiation. So here, but

(20:49):
here's my question. Why shouldn't ifwhy shouldn't an employer and an employee or
potential employee at a time of negotiatbe able to negotiate that element well,
and well why should the government sayyou can't have it? And the argument

(21:10):
would be why they need to stepin and do this is there are many,
many, many things that you aspart of contract negotiation can't negotiate or
and if you put it in thecontract, it wouldn't be legal. They
would they would if you ever tookthe contract to court, they would say,

(21:30):
no, these are things you cannotput into a contract. And it
runs the variety, it runs,you know, or runs the gamut.
There's a variety of things. Butthe purer question, I guess is who's
the government to get in the wayof an employer and an employee negotiating something
like this. And then the otherside is, well, that's the situation

(21:52):
we existed under. And there areclearly cases where people are signing non competes
for jobs that have no business withno competes, and then you and in
that case I recognize and by theway, they would have a non compete
and may not even have a severanceattached to it, or at least one
that is the same amount of time. So there'd be a window, let's

(22:14):
say it's three months, six months, there'd be a window where you couldn't
work for or you couldn't you getseverance for three months, but then the
next three months until you hit theend of your six month non compete,
you can't work. But they justfail swooped it, man. So that's
that's gonna be a big deal.I'm curious what you think of non competes.

(22:34):
Yay nay? Should government get outof the way or are they something
that should go on the list ofthings that are deemed illegal or problematic that
can't be contracted for because that's wherethe FTC is banishing the idea except in
the very specific C level suite executivestandpoint. All right, eight eight eight

(22:56):
nine three four seven eight seven four, you canna let me know what's up
with that. Let's see here.Yeah, it is a little self serving,
but I think, yeah, it'sa it's a big deal man.
All Right, So coming up onthe show, here's what we still got
to get to. Uh we gotwe got Duncan news because why not?

(23:18):
Absolutely? Uh? There is uh, there's a twist, a new a
new follow up for the the migrantswho were flowing to Martha's vineyard. This
is just I guess Democrats, someof the Democratic lawmakers who were pushing this
idea are going to get their way. And I think they think they're sticking

(23:42):
it to DeSantis or the Texas Idon't know. I don't know who they
think they're sticking it to. Butwe'll let you be the judge. And
I feel like I should be theNASA administrator, you know, And and
here's why I can make it.I can make a compelling argument. You're

(24:03):
ready, I should be the NASAadministrator because I know more about space than
the NASA administrator Ross. You watcha lot of Star Trek, probably a
lot more than anyone I know.That's I mean, I feel like I
don't want to step on your toes. I feel like maybe you're even more
qualified, no question, although thatdome stuff may come back though though I

(24:26):
mean right, NASA is in chargeof the dome, so in a way
that fits. So anyway, Yeah, I just listen to this dude talk
does not does not fill me withconfidence. Uh in the same way that
uh who played the guy who playeduh Teddy in The Martian, Jeff who

(24:52):
is the NASA the NASA administrator ofMarshall in The Martian, Like that dude
looked like he knew about space.Why I can't I remember his character Dame.
That's crazy. But yeah, thisis the actual one, and I'm
questioning some of this. I'll explainwhat he was talking about. And I
know it's way early, but ifyou probably if you want to get some

(25:17):
crush, are you one of thosepeople at Christmas shops year round? I
got a great idea for the SecondAmendment, loving man or woman in your
life. So all that more comingup. Case O Day Radio program,
Patrick mahomes As they were trying toget him to host Saturday Night Live,

(25:41):
and in a recent interview, Mahomesrevealed Nope, he wasn't going to do
it. Mahomes Is said to theclaims to suffer from, is it glossop
I think it's glossophobia, which isa fear of public speaking, which a
lot of people do. I don'tknow if I have a fear of it
necessarily, but I don't like it. I don't feel that it best portrays

(26:07):
me or the show, even thoughwe you know, ross and I don't
use scripts. Man, it isoff the cuff. I've just never really
liked public speaking. But I don'tknow that I if I am forced to
do it, I'll do it kindof thing, right, But he doesn't
like it, which is, youknow, for some people's kind of wild
to hear when somebody's you know,a very very high profile athlete does press

(26:27):
conference and stuff like that. Buteven a press conference is kind of in
your realm and is not the samething as And they say that like one
of his biggest fears is the finalityof being on live television. And I
will only say this, I thinkthat if he wanted to do something to
be really self aware. Well there'ssomething he could do, and also he

(26:52):
should remember that no matter how badlyhe thinks it went, he should then
watch the Steven Sigull episode and youwill feel a thousand times better than whatever
you did there. But like,put him out there for the monologue and
then when he starts talking and youknow, and if he screws up,
have have the monologue stop. Putyou know, put like a game clock

(27:15):
on the screen, right, andthen get a couple actors to come out
or you know, cast members dressedas uh, you know zebras are not
actual zebras. I'm referring to referees. But and then have them review it
and then absolve it as not havehaving happened. That would be really funny,
right because it's you know, itsaid self deprecating thing based on right,

(27:38):
he's kind of throws interceptions and thenthey're called back right for holding penalty
whatever. I like him more nowbecause he said he's nervous to do it.
That kind of that makes him likehuman. Can you constantly see people
that are on the show they're like, you know, I have never done
this before and I'm not nervous,and they go on and they do a
great job or you know, Isemi great job, and he's like,
I'm terrified of it. And eventhough I perform on a stage on television,

(28:00):
it's different because that's a sport,right, And yeah, I'm not
I'm not gonna do it. Ilike him more for that. Yeah,
it's uh, that would be terrifyingto me. Yeah, I get I
get it. I just it's likethere's an opportunity there by the way I
was written in the article, thereis one other issue I have with this
article here. So they play allthat out. Let's see here we go.

(28:29):
Uh. In the history of SNL, thirty five athletes have served as
hosts, and you know what's somehave been incredibly funny episodes. Peyton Ross
and are talking about the soft theyear the Peyton Manning episode is that's great.
He's just naturally funny. He's afunny guy. Yeah, that was
great. There's if you haven't seenit, there's one skit where he's it's

(28:51):
like one of those United Way,you know, athletes working with the kids
saying Peyton shows up in his dad'ssweater and the kids, little kids on
the football field and with like ninetyper hour. Football is at the kids
chest, knocking them over and thenyeah, and then the kid drops the
timeouts in the porta potty. He'sscreaming at the kids. It's it is
really well done. I would encourageyou to check that out. Hull Cogan

(29:12):
is hosted. Tom Brady Let's SeeLebron hosted. I don't remember the Lebron
episode. And then I got tothis name, ready, mister T.
Mister T's not an athlete. Hewas a world heavyweight champion. Okay,

(29:33):
he murdered. He murdered Mickey accidentally. It is manslaughter, dude, but
it was before a fight, soI mean, you can't really call that.
You're okay, stop stop if youwant a murder athlete. O.
J. Simpson hosted. Okay,I think it was the second one,
but he did mister Now, Iwill tell you this, mister T did
play. He played D one collegefootball, and I think they had but

(29:55):
then he you know, he didthe thing where he injured himself and so
U he tried to get NFL teams. Interesting. I think he went to
one tryout. I remember reading somewhere, but yeah, it's crazy. It
came out of the Los Angeles undergroundto perform on national television. Is a
soldier of fortune? Okay, well, then put them on the list of

(30:17):
soldiers of Fortune. I was actuallywatching an old eighteen episode and as a
kid, you're like, man,this is so realistic, you know what
I mean? This is a greatshow or a great show in the eighties.
Yeah, it's a kid, thisis great. This is what it
was like to be such a fortune. Yeah. But like there's the the
guys, you know, the hoodlums, you know, they're they're whatever.
They've got rifles and they're coming afterthe A Team and they open up the

(30:37):
barn doors and they're like, comeon out, and where are they at.
I have no idea where they were. Somewhere, they had a barn
in a field of something, sothey opened it up, and apparently the
A Team they were in a direstraits because they, you know, they
were out of weapons. So whatthey did is they made a makeshift cannon
on top of this truck that theyshot heads of lettuce and cabbage out at
the guys that are in the barnwith the rifles trying to get them,

(30:59):
and of course, the A Teamcompletely decimates the idiots with the rifles with
the cabbage and the lettuce and itlooks like an American gladiator gun sort of
thing on top of this truck.That's a shooting out cabbage after cabbage.
So many questions like one, like, okay, so they made a big
potato gun. And here's the deal. I have made a a projectile vegetable

(31:21):
projectile custom firearm myself out of stuffthat we had in a barn. You
got if you got PVC or getsome metal piping and you have like maybe
one of the the shrew on areasthat has like a you know, it
would be like a place that youcould attach in a in a length of
piping to provide you an access pointwith a smaller opening. That's all you

(31:45):
need and you can shoot. Weshot candle up. We were We made
one with PVC that was fitting candleopen. It was amazing. That is
a very interesting question. I'll tellyou. It's in charge of NASA,
Bill Nelson. Bill Nelson, whois the NASA administrator. And I would

(32:07):
assume I've never worked at NASA.I am not at ROSS. Am I
a rocket scientist. He's gonna checkthat real quick. Oh yeah, let
me check that. No, Butbut I could be mistaken for one right
when people, oh, easy,you can pull it off. Yeah,
and they're like, yeah, okay, it's probably rockets. Okay. But

(32:28):
I think if you're going to bethe head of NASA, there's probably a
few basic concepts and things that youshould know. Like one term that you've
you've probably heard and maybe even doneLSD two Dark Side of the Moon.
Are you familiar with that? Notthe album in this case, we're talking
about the actual hemisphere of the moon. Okay, I just want to be

(32:52):
clear. So here we go.The Administrator of NASA is at a hearing
yesterday and the hearing, during thecourse of it, was asked this question,
mister Nelson, the Chinese. Whatare the Chinese doing on the back

(33:16):
side of the moon? Dark sidemoon? Whatever? What are they doing
there? Remember Chinese have sent nowtwo probes over there, and you know
what are they doing? Do theynot go? Well? And they're just
not telling us. So they buildin a big, a big rail gun,
which wouldn't be great because the reasonyou know that's part of the moon,

(33:37):
that there's a there's a misnomer andI don't want to spoil it because
apparently Bill Nelson isn't aware of it, the head of NASA. Nelson then
claimed that the far side of themoon is what is what generally you'll hear
it referred to as within scientific circlesrather than dark side. He said that

(33:59):
he he doesn't know, and thereason they don't know is because nobody goes
to the far side of the moonbecause it's always dark there and you can't
see anything. I'm not even gonnaget into the part where we have lights
on stuff. But what does thedirector of NASA really think that the dark

(34:25):
side of the moon is permanently inpitch black. You're the head of NASA,
I could, I guess I couldforgive people, because look, dark
side of the moon is a littlemisleading. And here's the deal. A
lot of the time it is sofor those who don't know, or I
guess, I guess never really botheredto think about it. So the moon,

(34:49):
the way that the Moon orbits andthe way that the Earth orbits then
around the Sun. And since youhave this portion of the moon, this
hemisphere of the moon that never isfrom Earth, what they mean by dark
is they mean dark in the sensethat we can't see it, but it

(35:12):
doesn't mean it's always dark, becauseremember the little spinny models. As the
Earth is moving in its elliptical aroundthe Sun, there is there's a term
for it. Now, this isthis is where I demonstrate I'm not a
rocket scientist, but there is thereis a term for it. But basically,

(35:36):
it doesn't mean that it lacks sunlightat all times. It just means
we can't see it. So isthe director of NASA. The administrator of
NASA convinced that where the Chinese landof their probe is, it's so dark
it's not worth going to, andit's never it's never come up because I
feel like the director of NASA mayhave input on things we may or may

(36:00):
not want to do as part ofthe space program and probably should know that
that's crazy to me. Man orthey're covering up the secret bases, So
I guess you'd go that route aswell. But yes, the Administrator of
NASA doesn't understand, I would argueone of the most well well known geographic

(36:25):
points in space, if you thinkabout it, not a clue. They
pointed out that the United States hasconcentrated their efforts on the South Pole,
and by the way, that's understandable, and that's what you should have said.
But on the on the what arethe Chinese doing? Him saying he
has no idea? Well, whoknows. But but you know, the

(36:46):
reason that we've now focused on theSouth Pole. There is the water,
you know, a little bit ofthe uh, you know, the possibility
of what was the there's another termfor some of the base stuff they're looking
at, but also the possibility ofme, you know, setting up a

(37:07):
fueling station or a launch station.They have a variety of different reasons,
and admittedly I'm not the director ofNASA, so I don't know all of
those reasons, but he should probablyshould. Gosh, what else does he
think is either real or not realthat he's completely screwed on when it comes

(37:28):
to space. I'd be very curious. I'd be very curious at what else
he's confused by. That's just embarrassing. Bro. All right, seven twelve
CaCO Day Radio program. Oh man, all right, let me get into
this. So, of course,you remember the day we all learned that

(37:51):
a plane had landed on Martha's vineyard, and aboard that plane were forty nine
or fifty illegal immigrants who had beentransported from San Antonio, Texas, to
Florida and then to Martha's Vineyard andeveryone lost their crap. The media couldn't

(38:15):
get to Martha's vineyard fast enough.I'm sure some of them are probably there
hanging out with their the Obamas orsomething, but that that blew up,
and they, you know, like, we're gonna get We're gonna get the
sheriffs to investigate, They're gonna arrestthe Don DeSantis and the Texas Governor Abbott
and oh, they can't do this. This is an outrage, And at

(38:36):
that moment it was such a perfectlyplayed chess piece in the political back and
forth on this. You know what, I'm sorry that I just got distracted.
So we brought up a very goodpoint. Yes that probably I should
have pointed this out too, althoughI kind of did, because it is

(39:00):
it is what two weeks from thelast time we thought the end was nine
we all were gonna die with theeclipse. So to have an eclipse feasibly,
you have to have the Moon directlyin front of the Sun because the
times difference in size of the Moonto Sun and the distance are equal,

(39:22):
which allows a full eclipse, whichwould require the Sun to beat on to
the dark side of the Moon.Yes, you're absolutely right, that point
in and of itself should have doingthat. And NASA has video of the
dark side of the Moon because weused the Moon as a projection, a

(39:49):
way to project our spacecraft using thegravity assist from the Moon. Very famously,
if you've ever seen Paullo thirteen,that is exactly what Hanks and his
team are forced to do with theirfailed moonlanding mission. Oh yes, yes,

(40:13):
that would have been yet another Yes, that would have been another good
moment for the NASA director. Allright, anyway back to this, Well,
that all simmered down because they realizedthere's nothing you can do and now
we have what we have here,right, we have New York and Chicago
and all of these big cities werelike, yes, we're Amnesty cities.

(40:37):
And people went all, right,here we go. And then they went,
no, no, we didn't meanthat. We just meant from like
a distance. And well, thething that kicked it all off now has
a new wrinkle, I guess becausethey thought they were going to get back
at them. And it feels likewhen they name a bill something just to

(41:00):
be snarky and jerks. So usCitizenship and Immigration services at the behest of
activists and lawmakers have been granted whatis known as a bonafied determination, and
what that means is the forty nineindividuals who were transported from Florida to Martha's

(41:23):
Vineyard, or from Texas and Floridato Martha's Vineyard based on a bonafide determination,
are that is all, that isthe last barrier to receiving what is
known as a UVISA right. Sothey are on a pathway to being able
to stay here because, in Iguess retaliation, they have granted it,

(41:50):
saying that the forty nine are underthe exemption of victims of crime. It's
a little hard to follow, buthear me on this so as it screw
you, I guess in their mindto DeSantis and Abbott and people who thought
that, you know, the Martha'sVineyard thing was perhaps a good thing to

(42:14):
show exactly what is happening down thesouthern border that many folks who are cool
with it don't have to experience.They then decided that even though they couldn't
prosecute DeSantis, that never went anywhere. They made an argument that these individuals
were quote crime victims based on whatDeSantis did and then just rubber stamped it

(42:35):
in Washington so that they can literally, I'm sure one day run a campaign
ad or be given a speech somewhereand be like, yes, and my
opponents are so evil. They victimizedforty nine migrants for a political stunt.
How do we know? The Customsand Immigration Services made a determination that they

(42:59):
were victims of crime. How couldmy opponents do this to these poor people
just seeking a better life, andthen they victimize him the moment they get
here, Mark my words that thatis what this is about. The sheriff

(43:20):
Javier Salazar, who by the way, is is a moon bat. Right,
remember this guy on CNAED he's sayingI'm gonna get him. I'm gonna
get them look into this. Hemade a determination, though not in an
official capacity, I guess, buthe made a determination that, yeah,

(43:42):
he felt that this was criminal.He felt during his one month investigation that
the immigrants had been lured under falsepretense aboard the plane and then stranded on
Martha's vineyard. The UV for theindividuals will now be now approved. So

(44:04):
there you go. I guess theyare approved, and now they just now
they get to see how slowly governmentworks. So there you go, all
right, Jake, what's up?Hey? I don't think the Chinese are
landing on the moon because everybody knowsthe moon is gas and supplies energy,
so they're probably harvesting energy off themoon. Well, they could be hovered,

(44:25):
sir. I mean that's that's apossibility. I mean, I don't
think they're landing. They're they're they'rethey're harvesting the gas off the moon,
because because everybody knows the moon ismade of gas. Right, you know
what, you make a good point? We should you know what? She's
going to be out of a jobhere because I just realized, Thanks for
the call there, sir, Ijust realized she ran. She ran in

(44:45):
primary for a different office or no, she ran for mayor. That's what
it was. She Jack ran formayor of Houston, didn't win, and
and as a result, I don'tknow, she's she's gonna be out of
Congress. Why not put her incharge of NASA? Look, Bill Nelson's
an idiot, So if we're gonnahave an idiot in there, it might

(45:07):
as well be one with good soundbites. But is that not fair?
Can you can you imagine, when'sthe last time you watched a NASA press
conference. Pretty much somebody had tohave been killed, right, I mean
right, there's a shuttle issue.That's that's generally when you're watching a NASA

(45:27):
press conference until they start hauling aliensin front of there most people. It's
exactly what happened with when we wentto the Moon. By the time we
did it the sixth time, theratings were abysmal because we had short attention
spans, you know, even backin the seventies. That's crazy. So
with that in mind, put ShilaJackson Lee. If if you're gonna have

(45:50):
somebody in there who actually knows nothingabout space and who once famously asked them
to drive the Mars Rover over tothe Armstrong flag, I'll let you figure
out why the Mars Rover and themoon landing flag they may not be able
to meet. Yeah, because Nelson'san idiot and just took dark side of

(46:15):
the Moon to heart. She can'tfigure out that moon landing and Mars Rover
have two different celestial bodies names inthere. Now, to be fair,
they do start with them. Theyare four letters, so you know,
understandable in that sense, all right, we got Hey, we got more

(46:37):
on the Alec Baldwin story. Iknow, but it's yeah, there's there's
a whole bit of crazy that wedidn't know on day one. And also,
yeah, here we go. Howyoung is too young to be left
at home alone when Texas mom decidedto check the And I understand it too,

(47:00):
kids on a cruise ship or annoying. All right, they're just on
a cruise ship and they're excited.So but still still, if you don't
want to deal with that, thenthis mom thought she had come up with
a unique solution. And we'll alsoget into some of the stuff for seeing
from the Trump trial, because yesterdayalready, man, already we were we're

(47:24):
just into the stupid and that's becausethey said they decided to start the trial
with David Pecker, the Inquirer guy, which I don't understand from a prosecution
standpoint, why that's your first placeyou're going. But whatever, we'll bring
you up to speed on what happenedyesterday. Phone number eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four backin just a few minutes. It is

(47:46):
the case O Day Radio program.It's just amazing the cross section of you
know, expertise in a variety offields, situations, issues that you know
that you have availability of when youwhen you work in this this kind of
environment, like when you're a radiohost and you got a you know,

(48:07):
a decent audience out there, chancesare whatever you're talking about, somebody has
some really interesting inside knowledge. Andas we're going through the space thing,
Ross, did you realize it mustI'm estimating ten percent of our audience must
be a rocket scientists from my email. It's crazy how many brilliant uh NASA

(48:30):
would be NASA engineers are listening becauseI can't argue with any of this logic.
The reason the Chinese landed on thedark side of the moon is because
if they landed on the light sidelike we do, the moon might tip
over from too much weight on oneside. That's fair, sir. That's
why I think it's insane. We'relanding on the south pole. We have
to keep we have to keep thethrusters engaged the entire time we're there so

(48:53):
we don't just fall off the bottom. This is why this is why you
know, Frank me in charge wouldprobably be a better idea. I'd be
like, why don't we land onthe north pole right boom, and you
can, you know you can,you can shut the key off, hang
out, do whatever. Moon doesn'treally rotate do anything, so you're fine.

(49:15):
Be great if it did, becausethen you could start your day on
the north pole with the landing,and then when you hit the south pole,
just you know, pull the chalksup and I guess you're the probe
or your your capsule just drops offfor those who are just joining us.
The head of NASA and in acongressional testimony yesterday, said that we didn't

(49:37):
go to the dark side of themoon, and you didn't know what the
Chinese are doing because it's too darkto see anything. But it's not called
the dark side of the moon forthat. It's just because it faces away
from us and gets light, includinggiant eclipses that just happened shining directly on
it. But I wonder what else, man, I wish they would have
deep dove to figure out how manyother things this guy doesn't know what the

(50:01):
hell he's talking about. Just formy amusement, I want to learn these
things like this, Oh, Ijust thow to this. Do you think
he has like a prohibition on lactosein tolerant astronauts it's called the milky way,

(50:24):
right, Or what does he thinksin the crab nebula a seafood business
opportunity? I have so many questionsfor this guy. Yeah, I can't
believe they let him off without reallydigging into how far. Oh my gosh,
I don't know. If this whatdo you think he thinks a black
hole is? Probably don't ask himthat under oath Man he might find himself

(50:51):
canceled. That is crazy. Doeshe think the term white dwarf is a
derogative? Well, no, it'sgot roll white in front of it.
So it's like you put white infront of you can pee as derogatory as
you want. I don't know,man, but I do have questions.

(51:12):
All right, check this out,because I if I my head will explode
if I just dwell on that.So a uh, day one or day
two, I should say, Butreally the crux of the testimony from the
publisher of the National Inquirer, DavidPecker. I started testifying day one,
went into a day two, andit was an interesting decision I think to

(51:37):
make that your your opening witness.For a few reasons, not the least
of which is them this particular pieceof testimony. So the former publisher Pecker
testified that what it came to bridgeof Trump vert because these guys are friends.

(52:07):
They you know, there were conversationsbeing had. However, it looked
like the very first conversation that washad on the whole. What happens if
people start coming up with, youknow, Trump hit piece stuff and they
want to sell their story to themedia. Because remember, the allegation is
that if somebody came forward and said, hey, I have this very toddery

(52:30):
tale of Donald Trump, and Iwant to tell my story. By the
way, I want to get paidfor it. Can he help me out
that The accusation is that Pecker wouldbuy the story to and then have them
sign all the stuff saying, hey, we own all the rights. Even
you can't tell the story. Theywould cash their check because you know,

(52:51):
that's what it was about in theend anyway, and then they wouldn't run
the story, which, ironically itseems a much more cut in dry version
of the same decisions that moonbat newsroomsmake every day right where they have a
relationship with a candidate or a politicianand even though the money's not I guess

(53:14):
changing hands in as specific a waythey will memory hold the story that's out
there or just ignore it wholesale.But Pecker said that the first conversation was
not a conversation with Trump, butrather a conversation that he and Michael Cohen

(53:34):
had, and a series of conversationsduring which Cohen and Pecker devised a way
to buy up and bury the badnews stories. And that's the testimony.
That's why I'm in my brain,I'm like, why would you put this
guy on the stand. And oneof the very first things he tells the

(53:55):
jury in this case is that thething that is that he and Trump are
being accused of was a thing thathe did with Michael Cohen. And I
understand that Cohen is Trump's attorney,But when you listen to the various ways
that the that they've described some ofthese there was a lot of like,

(54:16):
here's what you get. You geta lot of disconnect. Right. You
have somebody who's working for you,and their general thing is I'm busy.
You know, when you're Trump oryou're somebody in that position where you got
all all this stuff going on,you may you may have your fix it

(54:37):
guy working for you, and alot of times he's just out there doing
stuff and he's not He's not botheringyou with the details until you have to
be bothered with the details. Andthat's kind of what was described by Pecker
yesterday, and that feels like itcould be problematic to try to put Trump
right in the middle of that.But I digress. And then they gave

(55:00):
some There was different stories they talkedabout. There was a doorman story,
there was some other stuff. Wehad to do, a Ted cruise and
Ben Carson they talked about. Andthen Pecker said, yes that he and
Cohendre in a conversation really on otherstuff. Positive the theory that women might
step forward to sell stories about Trump, the you know, Trump for a

(55:23):
very long time had that most eligiblebachelor vibe. You've probably seen the Playboy
cover Time magazine just and so withthat in mind, they assumed that there
might be problems. And ironically,this feels a lot like the what was
the term Limbaugh used to use,Oh, the bimbo eruption squad, Yeah,

(55:47):
the bimbo eruption squad. But youknow, just I guess at arm's
length rather than Hillary headnet herself.All Right, anyway eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four we'llnot quite ready yet. Okay, well
we'll be checking out. We're goodto go. All right, let's get

(56:09):
raised agic from the weather channel inhere. And how you doing this morning?
Sir? What's going on? Hey? I'm doing well? How about
You's pretty good? An audi pause, You're like, who do you think
I was talking to? Well?I don't know. Sometimes there's a little
bit of a a little bit ofa hesitation. Now you never know who's
going to join the crowd, rightthe party. Yeah, sometimes to our

(56:31):
own detriment. But yeah, no, we'll get a little nuts here,
you know how it goes? Right? Well? Is the weather going to
be nuts? Though it's not goingto be too bad? Some sprinkles of
rain. Good thing. I putin some showers because somebody's probably reached aground
Danville in southern Virginia heading into thetriad right now. Any right, I

(56:52):
was showing them some darker green andsome yellow and eastern Tennessee near Johnson City.
Don't do it. And those showersmay try to clip, but I
don't even know who. What wasI gonna do? How was we gonna
do it? Well? If peoplewere probably every time I hear Johnson City
at you know, Tennis, Afriget it anyway, it is a good
song. It is a good song, and uh so any fun time left

(57:15):
right correct? Yeah, Eddie,Sunshine left over saved the way here pretty
quickly. If you're cloudy, you'llstay cloudy to partly sunny today mid seventies,
low seventies, try it west andinto the mountains Tonight clear upper forties
to low fifties. And I won'tbe surprised if after we get the clouds
in the showers today that later wedo get some clearing. And I think

(57:37):
if the kids at ball games thisevening, you're gonna be in good shape,
not even worried about many of theseshowers. They should be over with
by then, and then set usup for a nice around a sunshine for
Thursday and Friday sent around seventy degrees, so be on either side of that.
Low's upper forties to low fifties.Weekend is going to be great.
Saturday, partial sun load of midseventies near eighty for Sunday, could be
back into the load of mid eightiesby Monday and Tuesday and sunshine so overall

(58:00):
case a pretty dry weather pattern.Maybe, like I said, a little
bit of scattered shower action today.Other than that, I think we're gonna
be a real nice shape. Humiditycomfortable, dyke time lows will be comfortable
warming trend toward especially a late weekendearly next week. There's also wagon Wheel.
Did you think that was the songI was gonna refer? I thought

(58:21):
was the song? Yes, Ithought you were thinking. Well, they
both they both have you know,they both talked about Johnson City policeas right.
All right, Well, any who, I assumed that you were a
little down because you heard that oneof our cohorts had given up. Well
who gave up? Our our friendof the west. She trapped him.

(58:44):
She trapped him, he posted onsocial media. Oh yeah, yeah,
and I couldn't. I can't byour friend. Who's the morning guy at
iHeart in Asheville is Beyonce finally isnow as fiance. She she got him
so not long saturdays, he'll nolonger be Yeah, it's crazy, I

(59:07):
man, yeah, all right,thanks? Right, yeah, oh what
do you? All right? Congrats? I tease his Uh, it's very
nice. Actually I met her.She actually came up with him to that
that broadcast in DC. So anyway, not Pete, We're Todd. Mark

(59:28):
is the guy's name who does theAsheville I heard anyway seven forty seven k
O Day radio program. So uhyeah, yeah, this thing is dragging
on and they're rectimating. Is stillsix weeks on this trial, all of
which Trump's just got to sit thereand watch this insanity. But yeah,
that's really where they started. AndI thought, well, that's an interesting

(59:49):
point that you just brought up.And you're the prosecutor and you knew what
he was going to testify too,and you still put it out there.
But you know, when the fixis in, maybe it doesn't matter.
Are hang on? We opened theshow earlier just I just mentioned mister T,
and I called up his Wikipedia pagebecause I wanted to be accurate that
he wasn't a guy who was aquote unquote sports star, because I was

(01:00:13):
quibbling over his inclusion in an articleas a quote sports star who hosted SNL
and you know, as Ross pointedout, you know, world champion,
but in reality, he played collegefootball but never did anything after that.
But there is so much I didn'tknow about mister T. And I'm ashamed
of myself, like, do youknow where all the gold chain thing came

(01:00:36):
from? I didn't, Now Ido. Apparently he spent much of his
time post post schooling working as abouncer, and he was kind of like
he was kind of a guy whowould get called into really really bad bars.
Well roadhouse kind of vibe to it. And one of his things that

(01:00:59):
he did is when somebody, youknow, he had to tangle with somebody.
He estimates that there were over twohundred fights and count counting the number
of lawsuits filed against him, eachof which he won. You know,
he might be exaggerating, but therewas a lot. And if you tangled
with him and you were you rememberthis is the seventies. People are wearing

(01:01:22):
all of this jewelry, the discoera. And he got a piece of
your jewelry. He kept it,and then he wore it, and then
he would wear it all to shoveit in the face of people who had
been thrown out of the bar.But if people came to him and apologized,
he would give them their jewelry back. But most people just would never

(01:01:45):
show up. You know that soberup the next morning. But what the
hell was I doing where's my chain? And that's how he ended up with
all those things. I think that'scrazy. And then the other crazy thing
is he then from there he wassuch a good bouncer that they did show
about Bounce, a bouncer competition onNBC America's Toughest Bouncer, and he and

(01:02:09):
another by the name of Tutufano Tufi, a Hawaiian bouncer who was a giant
six foot five two and eighty poundsor the finalist, and then they had
to fight each other, and heothered the line during the interview, I
said, I just feel sorry forthe guy who I have to box.

(01:02:29):
I just feel really sorry for him. Syl Vester Sloan was watching that and
immediately was writing Rocky three, andhe loved the lines so much that he
changed it to I pity the fooland then pursued mister t initially to come
in and deliver a total of threelines. But in those three lines when

(01:02:50):
they filmed it, the cast andcrew so hated his character in a good
way. He was They made him, you know, the villain of the
whole thing based on one line inone comp By the way, beat the
crap out of that Hawaiian bouncer andone of the things, so that is,
how did I not know all thisstuff. I won't get into the

(01:03:12):
Eddie Murphy mister, by the way, that story back and forth. That's
crazy, man, And there's abunch of other stuff. I'm not gonna
regalia. You can. You cango look it up at yourself. But
I found it quite fascinating. Kickingoff our number three. Glad to have
you along, and wow, thisis this is like pure nightmare fuel.

(01:03:34):
I didn't see this story initially.I didn't see the details of the story
initially with the dude who had thegator encounter down in South Carolina. But
we're going to get to that.But first I was sharing this story with
you. And this took place thecampus of Shaw University. A seventy four
year old man is under arrest,and the way it's reported on is like

(01:04:01):
this, Basically, shots are fired. An officer was near enough that he
heard that it was on another call. Some of the calls came in and
when they arrived there were some peoplein the vicinity who said that there had
been a man with multiple firearms hadgotten into a quote alter verbal altercation with

(01:04:24):
another man, and the shooter hadapparently run into the Cultural center, which
is where this happened, which hasclassrooms on the bottom and has a mosque
upstairs, Okay, in a prayerroom. That's going to be very specific
here, so that those are thedetails, and they show the guy under

(01:04:44):
arrest. They say he had threefirearms in his possession, two in his
car, and they hit him witha bunch of stuff. What's interesting is,
from time to time I'm able topick the brain of maybe some folks
who might have some working knowledge,might be in the criminal justice field themselves.

(01:05:05):
If he catch him a drift andhow would you say, a source
close to the investigation he had hehad some rather interesting context to this,
and I think it's I think it'sstrange that I don't see it in here.
One is why this dude was there? So why is he there?

(01:05:30):
Well, you may have guessed there'sa mosque there, and uh, he
is. You know, his namewould lead one to the conclusion that he
might be Muslim, which is fine, that's fine if you want to go
to you know, go to yourchurch. Whatever. However, it's my
understanding that the altercation, so thisthis dude allegedly had like kind of in

(01:05:58):
he decided to kind of he wasthere too. He was he unofficially deputized
himself to kind of police the areaaround the prayer room, and the altercation
took place with a white dude walkinga dog who had who you know,

(01:06:19):
which you can do. You cango walk a dog anywhere in in and
around the campus there. It's wideopen man, and he took offense to
that. Obviously, there's the there'sthe dog component, which you know,
I'm sure you're aware of, whichyou know, if you don't like dogs,
or if you feel that they're religiouslyproblematic, you shouldn't be forced to

(01:06:41):
it. But if you're on anarea in a in a public area where
somebody can walk by, it's notlike he'd try to take the dog inside.
But that may have been what setthis off. So I don't know
if it was the whiteness or thedog or if any of those were a
component, but you know that's tobe the beef of the of what set

(01:07:01):
this off. Also, while he'snot affiliated with the school, he told
police it was his job to guardit. And then obviously the gun thing.
And I don't see charges for fellingin a possession in possession and maybe
I don't know, maybe he changedhis name. It's something, so it
wasn't initially in the charges, butI'm hearing that the guy might be a

(01:07:27):
felon, which if you got fiveguns and you're a fellon and you're shooting
at people, it's probably not gonnago well for you. So whether that
was left out intentionally, like itdidn't take me long to track that info
down, is weird. And Isay this because that the story I had
just shared with you is from WRL, and yesterday they took an activist word

(01:07:53):
on or they used an activist quotewords to create, to create a muddied
scenario of what may have transpired surroundingthat tragic death of the thirteen year old
girl who they found shot to deathat a party apartment at like two thirty
in the morning on Monday, implyingthat well, she wouldn't have been there

(01:08:14):
had she not been suspended, right, she'd be home peacefully dreaming of Monday
morning school. And to throw thatout there without any details, or to
source it to somebody who could speakmore authoritatively on it, meaning a school
official, meaning a breakdown perhaps byone of the parents on specifically what it
was was weird to me In thiscase, they've just chosen to ignore the

(01:08:39):
context that might have been available witha little bit of digging, and I
feel like that's that's a little instructiveas well, all right. So eight
eight eight nine three four seven eightseven four what would you say? Let
me ask you, what would yousay is your biggest fear going into the

(01:08:59):
wall at you know, uh,in in the ocean, in maybe some
of the tidal areas that brackish waterthat we get what what would you say
might be of the most concerned Whatis your nightmare scenario? The sharks,
the gators, stingrays, or maybeyou don't care, you're you're you're here

(01:09:21):
for it. This this one's crazy, all right. So this guy's name
is Will Georgitas, and uh hehe likes to dive, and he also
is part of his diving, helikes to go into the Cooper River.
This is down Goose Goose Creek areaof the South Carolina, And so he's

(01:09:45):
in the Cooper River and he wouldget his dive tank and then he would
dive the river because there's a bunchof fossilized shark teeth on the riverbed,
and so he he goes down.He uses a screwdriver to kind of extract
him. I'm not sure the wholeprocess, but good on him if that's
what he likes to do. Unfortunately, when this happened April fifteenth, he

(01:10:06):
had just about finished his dive inan area where it's about fifty fifty feet
deep and he was almost out ofoxygen. Got up to the surface,
did you know, did the thingwhere he pulled his mask off, was
getting ready to then head to shore, and all of a sudden, a

(01:10:28):
giant alligator grabbed onto his arm,so he quickly I guess he's able to
get his mask down with the otherarm, he starts fighting with the gat
He then uses his other hand.Oh excuse me. Then the gator,
according to the report, starts shakingthe diver as they do, and eventually
drug him all the way to thebottom. Remember he's in fifty feet of

(01:10:49):
water, he's got very minimal oxygen. He's panicking, but not so much
that he didn't attempt one other thing. He grabbed the screwdriver that he'd been
using to extract the shark teeth andstab the gator in the head over and
over and over, and you knowwhat, the gater did nothing. So

(01:11:10):
Georgita said he had to do something, and he had to make a decision.
Georgia's telling ABC's Good Morning America quote, I decided he couldn't have all
of me, so I put myfeet up against him and kicked off of
him, at which point he's minusan arm. Did you do you think

(01:11:34):
you could be in a conscious Couldyou think you can make a decision?
Or would be because some people wouldjust be like, this is it,
I'm done. But this guy hadto make a decision, like you know,
like a raccoon non off its armin a trap. He had to
make a split second decision too right, way, too long, you drown,

(01:11:56):
And then what's at that point wouldmatter? He he realized, uh,
well, I guess I don't havean arm anymore, and then literally
basically kind of tore it off himself. The way it's described here is Georgia's
then frantically swam to a friend's boat, was taken ashore. His arm was

(01:12:18):
broken and needed a ton of staplesjust to close up the wounds, so
he was able he was able torip the arm out. It didn't come
all the way off, but it'sdangling at this point. But he said
he was, he was, hewas willing to trade his arm to get
out of there, and good luckon this thing. They had it eye.

(01:12:44):
Look, it looked nasty just theway they had it wrapped up.
I can't imagine how cut up andswollen it is. Uh, let's see
here, how how many it's awhole bunch of stuff. But yeah,
would you be in that? Wouldyou be able to go? All right,
Well, I guess I'm not gonnahave an arm and make that decision.
Now it worked out slightly better thanhe thought, but not much judging
by the the bite picture here,that is crazy. South Carolina's had six

(01:13:13):
fatal alligator attacks since twenty sixteen.No, I've never seen a real big
one in South Carolina. I've seena lot of little ones playing golf down
there south of Myrtle, like TrueBlue Caledonia in that area down there,
they got a lot of the littleones there. But I'm trying to figure
out, I'm sorry, scrolling thestories, I can't figure out the estimated
size of the gator well big enoughto pin this due to the bottom,

(01:13:39):
all right, sore. If younever want to go in the water again,
there's your excuse right there, allright, eight sixteen here on the
Cacoda Radio program. Coming up onthe show, we will get into this
Columbia University will give you an updateon what's happening down there and the absolute

(01:14:00):
dumpster fire that they have created forthemselves. We'll get into it next.
Hang on. I knew, Iknew that mister T had been a bodyguard.
I did not realize he was abodyguard for Michael Jackson, so that
was new to me. I thought, I he what I remember seeing his
pictures of him where he was bodyguardfor Muhammad Ali and one of Joe Frazier,

(01:14:26):
a bunch of boxers he did bodyguardwork for. I didn't realize it
was Jackson. You know somebody else? This this is I chuckled a little.
He also was bodyguard for LeVar Burton. I under if you're a boxer,
it may sound counterintuitive to you tohave a boxer, like why would
a boxer need a bodyguard? Youwould not believe the number of people who

(01:14:53):
would see a professional boxer out inpublic and want to fight them. It's
crazy. I heard Tyson talk aboutthis one time. People just come up
and swing on him. On whatplanet? Do you think it's a good

(01:15:13):
I remember this is not today's Tysonwho I still wouldn't want to I don't
know, okay, because it's notjust about strength or age or anything.
Technique is the core component of whatthat dude does. But people still come
up want to fight him or toughguy movie guys. I e. What

(01:15:35):
happened to Segal where he got hisbutt kicked by that dude in a bar
and then the paper reported on itand he tried to see the paper.
But who's attacking LeVar Burton like acheese author? I wrote this kid's book
and you did not put it onyour show like pissed off a literate people?

(01:15:58):
Yes, who's was going after LeVarBurton? Or is I was gonna
ask? Is there like a isthere a segment of the Star Trek fandom
who's got beef with him that I'munaware of? I can't think of anything.
I never heard of anyone derange.People who think like the reading rainbow
rainbow has like symbolism going way back, They're like, oh, it all
started with LeVar Burton. Yeah,I don't know, man, I just

(01:16:21):
stoopid rainbow. That's just like,how does LeVar I mean, if he
felt he was there, that hewas threatening, he need a bodyguard?
I'm fine, but like, Ijust don't understand why he would need one.
And that's not I'm not trying tobe mean to the dude, but
like, who wants to punch LeVarBurton? Oh man, everything's just weird?

(01:16:41):
All right? Let me flip backover to this. Oh by the
way, speaking of I was gonnaword that in a way I probably shouldn't
speaking of people who you may wantto punch in the face, but don't
do it. Uh. The NorthCarolina General assemblies back, Yep, yep
up, short session, getting thingsrocking and rolling. Today. I'll give
you a little a little preview here, just a moment of a couple couple

(01:17:04):
of the bigger items that really we'regonna have to see in the first couple
of days. You'll you'll see movementfast on what are going to be the
priorities. You may even see somesort of vote taken on what will be
part of the enjoy you will see, but kind of part of the agenda

(01:17:26):
with the short session works a littledifferent but there's some big, big things
that could be part of this,and school school vouchers I think is probably
gonna be the big fight. Sojust a moment and we'll get into that.
But first let me get over tothis. Do do Joe Biden?

(01:17:48):
I opened the show with this,but if you're just joining us, so
I'm going to hit it one moretime real quick. So Joe Biden's down
in Florid, DA yesterday, andthere were two things that he said.
Well, there's one thing he saidand then the thing that he did.
And honestly, I almost feel likemaybe the thing he did was to distract
from the stupid thing he said.Here's what he said. Listen closely.
It's not a very long cut,but he's asking you a question, okay,

(01:18:14):
so hopefully you can come up withan answer. Here is the president's
question in a sense, I don'tknow why he'd we're surprised by Trump.
How many times he have to provewe can't be trusted? How many times
just reiterate? How many times bynas do we have to prove meaning him

(01:18:34):
and I guess everyone around him,political supporters, his cabinet, whatever,
How many times do we have toprove we can't be trusted. I don't
know, but I feel like you'vehit the number. I don't I don't
know what your you know, TOUTSIPop asked question is supposed to mean you're

(01:18:57):
there, sir, you've hit thenumber, whatever the number may be.
And then at the rally, standingnext to NICKI Freed and some other moonbats
down there talking about abortion, whichis this core focus. Right, They're
in Florida in a room full ofpeople who looked like they showed up because
they heard there was free drinks orsomething, and they're railing on this and

(01:19:18):
the President of the United States doesthe sign of the Cross as they're talking
about abortion. And if you're notCatholic, obviously you still know what it
is. You know, it's thefour point you know, the side of

(01:19:39):
the cross there. And but fromfrom a Catholic perspective, that's crazy.
That is. I was like,did I just see that? I was
watching for the other stuff. Iwas watching for the you know, the
what's the crazy crazy stuff he said, and I saw that, and I'm

(01:19:59):
like, oh my my gosh,how are you the uh, you know,
the what was it? The bestCatholic president ever? Whatever? Your
spokesperson said, and you didn't realizehow that may come across. It's bad
enough that you're like, it's thewhole it's a pro abortion thing. But
somebody said he meant to say he, I understand that Joe Biden's line was

(01:20:23):
supposed to be He sir, I'mon it, got it. But that's
not what he's all right, anyway, back to you know, you do
the sign of the crowd. Now, by the way, some of you
have asked, was it upside down? No? Was it? Oh?
That's right. Yesterday was the raptureday. I completely forgot about the Oh
my gosh, I haven't even duginto the conspiracy theories. Well, it

(01:20:45):
didn't happen, I don't think.Yeah, I forgot. That was another
one of the days. It wasthe let's see virgo and jup Joe anyway
whatever. According to some people,they thought that that yesterday was supposed to
kick off Revelation twelve, which basicallytalks about the beginning. So I think

(01:21:14):
it's fine, although I don't knowhow many people are listening. Ross.
Did any of your or any ofyour neighbors gone, anyone in the building
gone. I didn't, Did wejust get hosed on that, and then
what does that mean he's the antiChrist? Here, here's let me just
say this, Biden is not theAntichrist because the Antichrist is supposed to be
charismatic and draw people to him,and the polling would indicate otherwise. So

(01:21:39):
I think he was just confused.But there you go. All right,
let's let's grab a quick full Oh, hangout around, come to you just
a moment. Sorry, has realquick. What's up, hey, Casey?
How are you doing this morning?I'm pretty good, very good?
Good. Yeah, I was,uh, you were talking earlier about how

(01:22:01):
people are harassing boxers and such.Yeah, I'm a I'm a Jet Blue
pilot and you're going, yes,all right. Well, uh, when
I got to the airplane, thefirst thing we're supposed to do is we
checked the log book for any kindof maintenance discrepancies and whatnot. And the

(01:22:23):
first page on the right up theaircraft I was picking up was uh aircraft
partition between two seats destroyed by MikeTyson and so, and it was removed.
And I was like, you,I get a story with you.
Do you think they're screwed with you? No? Exactly, Well, he

(01:22:44):
was a legit right up, andI'm like, so I immediately get the
story, you know how this catwas harassing him since he was sitting in
the in the terminal, and Tysonfinally had enough and turn around and be
the crap out of him, andhe destroyed the little plexiglass petition between the
two seats, and in the meantime, I was immediately started looking for the

(01:23:09):
partition. I was gonna put thatin the man cave, but uh,
I guess the mechanic probably had it. But yeah, yeah, and that
dude deserved it, by the way, absolutely, And I dug into it
a little more. And as thecaptain, we have to scrap and see
as far as you know, bootingpeople off their playing. Well, the

(01:23:31):
course, the guy who did itwas gone, but you know, if
it had been up to me,i'd just said, hey, Champ,
you okay, And you know,I'm sure he was said yeah, I'm
sorry, I trying to rush you. This is fascinating to me, but
I have to ask you, howsomething else? Did you see the video
yesterday of this this this woman whostarts screaming at the Mayor of New York
on that flight. Now, Ididn't So Eric Adams was on a plane

(01:23:54):
and he said in uh, hesaid, in middle seat, he's got
obviously a security guy's the size ofa house on the eye and this woman
starts screaming at him about you know, Israel, Palestine, hes all that,
and and like, I don't thinkthey did anything to her. And
I'm like, how is that?How is that person not at least excommunicated

(01:24:15):
from whatever airline when they are screamingexpletives, ignoring cabin crew and continue and
filming it for social media likes?Like, how is that person not not
thrown off that airline and maybe evenput on the no fly list. It's
a mystery to me. When Ibrief my cabin crew, that's the first

(01:24:35):
thing, you know, if you'vegot a problem with the passenger, I
just don't ask questions. They justgo right because there are the people have
to deal with them. I mean, I'm behind the locked door and so
yeah, somebody liked that. Ican't. I'll have to look. It
might have been obviously there's a lotof flights, so jemp blew up there.
You got your own terminal up there. But I don't know. The

(01:24:57):
whole thing was just weird. Bythe way, you're not always in there.
Some some times you're behind the barricadeof drinks, which I always find.
See this is true, all right, I got a roll. Thank
you very much for the ill appreciateit. Mike Tyson destroyed part of your
aircraft. Happy flying sir. That'samazing, all right, raced aging.
I know you want to hear it. Which now means you get a very
short weather but totally worth ahead.There's not much. A couple of sprinkles

(01:25:23):
of rain right now from just northof Greensboro Winston Salem up near Danville in
southern Virginia. That first round mayproduce a light shower. A lot of
the other stuff to the west havinga tough time getting over the mountains,
so spotty showers here and there.You see or hear the mention of rain
today not going to be much.Won't cancel any plans for this afternoon or
this evening. I would think itwill be a pretty good shape after that.

(01:25:43):
Temperature is upper sixties, maybe themost seventies. Tonight, clear close
to fifty with some up for fortiesto the west, sunshine, then back
for the rest of the week,load to mid seventies. Through Friday.
Little Wulver's up for the weekend,partly to mostly sunny. Gonna be a
nice run here. Low mid seventieson Saturday, probably close to eighty on
Sunday, could get well into theeighties early next week with two more sunny
days. Okay, see, verylittle rain might make a puddle today,

(01:26:06):
but I really don't think it's goingto be much. And then a lot
of sunshine for the most part rightthrough early next week. With a slow
warming trend. It's going to bereal nice around here for quite a few
days. All right, Talk toyou tomorrow, Thanks Sirka, and back
with Jeff Bellinger next thing. OnGood morning. Casey stocks advanced yesterday investors
who were focusing their attention on corporateearnings. Futures are mixed this morning.

(01:26:30):
S and P and NASDAC futures bothhigher. The dial futures have been moving
back and forth positive to negative territory. Right now, they're down forty nine
points. Tesla shares rallied in afterhours training and they are higher. Pre
Market demand for electric vehicles was weekin the first quarter, but Tesla assured
investors it's working to boost sales,stepping up efforts to develop cheaper cars and

(01:26:54):
a ride hailing feature. If anairline cancels your scheduled flight, you're now
entitled to a refund. Under newTransportation Department rules just announced this morning,
airlines will have to provide automatic refundsto travelers whose flights are canceled or significantly
altered. A big majority of Americansnearly eight and ten, according to bank

(01:27:15):
Rate, consider home ownership a keycomponent of the American dream, but affordability
is a growing problem. Prices areat an all time high, Mortgage interest
rates are sky high. Mortgage bankersjust reported this morning the average interest rate
on a thirty year fixed rate homeloan has set a five month high seven
point twenty four percent. Google's goingto hold off on its plan to phase

(01:27:38):
out advertising cookies and its web Chromebrowser. The little software files that let
marketers track our online movements will bearound until sometime next year and a case.
There is less conviction among traders inthe interest rates market that borrowing costs
will fall in twenty twenty four.The economy has been resumed, inflation has

(01:28:00):
been stubborn, and some traders arestarting to wager that the Federal Reserve will
just hold the line on interest ratesfor the rest of the year. So
we'll see Katie good good. That'llbe great. All right, Thanks Jeff
for the good news. Appreciate it. Yeah, all right, I have
a good day. Yeah, thereyou go, Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News.
All right, apparently what is this? All right? So I alright,

(01:28:26):
So I went and I educated.I wanted to revisit because I just
remembered that the the End of Timeswas supposed to be yesterday, and I
actually there was more to it.It wasn't just hey, we're kicking this
thing off, get ready to rapture, but also yesterday it was supposed to
bring about the the reveal of planetx Naburu, and it would have immediately

(01:28:53):
started setting off volcanoes, like itwould really suck right now everywhere. But
I don't, I don't. Idon't think that end Times prophecy held,
although I did see somebody under itgoing, well, it's not, it's
not because April twenty third was thedate and they're like, well it's not
April twenty fourth, everywhere, Yesit is. You not. I understand
that you have this base concept aboutthe International Dateline and how it works,

(01:29:15):
but I assure you it is.It is April twenty fourth, now everywhere,
dude, and uh I don't well, hold on, let me let
me do this. Uh real quick, hey, Ross, you got rid
of the weather window there? Allright? Is there a giant murder planet
coming for us? That you see? Yeah? Let me let me look.

(01:29:36):
I don't see one. Oh yousure? All right? All right?
No? Wait, hold on,let me oh is that No,
it's not it's a tree. No, that's okay. Oh what's that thing
in this? It's a bird?Oh damn it. That's a big bird
though. Yeah. Yeah, it'sshooting fire. That's not like those aerobat
dogs murder dogs. Yeah, ifyou haven't seen, an Ohio based company

(01:29:56):
has produced they they've brought all thestuff you want to together, the the
murder dogs and flamethrowers and lasers,and it's amazing. And it's made in
America. Right, So that's Ithink that's really really really a unique feature.
Thank you. It is the companiesin Ohio. So yeah, it's

(01:30:19):
made in a Maria. So ifyou want your murder robot concealed carry dog,
which I think, can you geta service vest for a murder flamethrower
hound. I mean people get servicedog vest for all sorts of things that
aren't service dogs, so why shouldit be any different. Then I can

(01:30:40):
then I can have it on theplane in case I don't know, some
psychopaths starts screaming at me. Andby the way, if the pilot still
listen, it looks like it mighthave been Delta just the way this.
I'm just gonna still here. Butthe seat covers have the colors, so
not yours today. I will saythis, and I don't mean this in
a bad way. It's just becausewhen that when that when when our caller

(01:31:00):
called in and say he's a pilot, like immediately I'm like, oh,
yeah, I know he's telling thetruth because his delivery and cadence is straight up pilot
