Episode Transcript

(00:00):
What is standing on their hand?What does that even mean? My brain
is my brain is like Joe Bidenand his tuxedo. Given whatever that speech
was yesterday, I just doesn't soundeasy. And they're they're disciplined people that
know that that is a that isa fair point. Okay, lazy sitting
on their butts, well, dude, when it's you or me saying it

(00:21):
like, I just assume there's someobscure movie reference in there, right,
and then my brain instantly kicks intowhat movie is that? And I'm racking
my brain for all the And I'vewatched a lot of Samurai stuff, a
lot of Japanese I dig on thatstuff, So I don't know. Uh,
but no, that makes more sense. I saw there was a leak

(00:44):
yesterday, and we'll get into thisdeeper. Well, I'll talk about it
today, but we'll mention it tomorrowas well. But the the video game
series, very popular one called Assassin'sCreed. Uh ross. You've obviously dabbled
in Assassin's Creed over the years.Do you have a favorite of the Black
Flag the Pirate ones? Okay,what's the one where they're in like the

(01:11):
Founding Father's era that is Assassin's Creedthree O three doesn't have a separate name.
Okay, all right, that's theonly one I've ever played, so
but overall, obviously it's a bigfranchise, so they have. Yesterday,
they leaked, whether the company didit or who the hell knows, they

(01:32):
leaked both art and what specifically theartwork was the confirmation something else leaked and
I guess maybe it was scripting forsome of the storyline stuff. And they
determined Assassin's Creed Shadows, which isthe soon the upcoming which will be set

(01:57):
in Feudal Japan, has two protagonists, a man and a woman. They
work together and they're black and theygo around, you know, Assassin's treating
stuff. So I really know aboutFeudal Japan as it was saved by Tom

(02:17):
Cruise. Full disclosure, I neverreally finished the movie. He just assumed
you never finished the last Samurai.What's the point. I know he's gonna
win. He's Tom Cruise again.Are you sitting down Japanese? Yeah,
I'm standing on your hands. That'sa bunch. But you know, here's

(02:39):
the deal. And Tom Cruise's characterin that movie was based on an actual
dude. That's a that was areal thing. Also, that's not the
feudal Japan I'm referring to. Secondly, because that was post If you remember,
they were literally purging feudal Japan inthe first part of the I wasn't

(03:00):
really paying attention. I had alot going on, purging some of the
clans and basically people who wouldn't pledgeFielty and all fall into line under what
they were doing there so and andit had its liberties. I actually read
a book. I read a bookwhen I was I think in high school
or shortly thereafter that actually talked aboutwhat you read a book your nerd.

(03:23):
Yeah, well, hey man,you gotta do something when you're hiding from
bears or whatever when you're young.You have to do that. But then
eventually you can take them. Butanyway, so I'm sitting there and uh,
I'm watching it, and even thenI'm cognizant of some of the tweaks.
Now, the reason I bring thisup is because both sides of this
are gonna They're gonna dig in andit should just be a video game and

(03:47):
it should be a good video game, and unfortunately it's uh, what is
it, Ubi Ubi or Ubi Softhow I can ever pronounce this is ubi
or u ubi. I say ubiubi, I hear people say it another
way, and I'm like, there'sa you there. So so in reality,
it's just going to be a wayto fleece you, probably because that's

(04:10):
they're the that's kind of their repnow right from a video game, so
tons of micro transactions, DLC passes, you name it. Or they're the
ones who were openly saying that theywant to they don't want to let you
buy games anymore. I think thatwas one of the companies that everyone was
mad at. But whatever. So, not to get too historical, but

(04:33):
the the male protagonist, if we'reallowed to gender them, there is an
actual storyline there, a historical storyline. It is not the one that is
being portrayed in the video game.Uh specifically he was. The storyline in

(04:57):
the game is he was he wason a slave sh which wrecked off the
coast of Japan and he got That'show he got on Japan. That didn't
happen. Also, they weren't sellinga lot of black slave ships over to
Japan, just so rebundantly clear onthis, so they would have been way
off course. However, what actuallyhappened is and there's a movie. It

(05:24):
is a really really slow burn aboutmissionaries, Jesuit missionaries going to Japan right
around that time and testing it.And I'm not going to ruin it for
you, but it's it's not ahappy movie. But what actually happened as
a group of Catholic priests did bringa guy and it wasn't a slave.

(05:48):
He was literally under the employ andthey were not murdered because the deal was
anyone who was not Japanese, ifthey found you during that period, they
were to murder you. It was. It was even even like the woke
parts of Japan. Yes, ross, even in the even in the woke
parts of Japan. Does Japan havewoke parts now, even because they don't

(06:13):
put up with nothing man anyway,Yes, even in all the parts of
Japan. And if you didn't,literally they would kill your family. It
had a very North Korea vibe.But the leader at this point he became
fascinated by the color of the dude'sskin because he'd never seen somebody that dark.

(06:36):
Because remember, if you went toJapan, they murdered you. Guys
are both wrong. It was ifyou would hold on, hold on,
we just got corrected, Ross,and you were wrong. It was Keanu
was saved Japan and it was alongwith forty six of his buddies. Okay,
look at that Ross. Somebody watchedforty seven ronin and admitted it.

(06:56):
Anyway, what were you gonna say? What if you were like, you
know, so you go off trackor whatever, and you find yourself on
the shores of Japan, but ithappens to be one of the all female
uh samurai sex or colonies of Japan? Would would that? Would you be?
Would they be cool with you?Or would you would they also be
like instant death? Are all ofthe women strong empowered women? And also

(07:18):
trands? Yeah? So if youjust have to wash it, you know,
on the shore, and you're like, oh my, they're gonna they're
gonna end me. But then younotice that this like the all female trands.
Do you remember the video colony?Yeah? Do you remember the video
yesterday of the women with the angerthings? Yes? So does that answer
your question like that? Yeah,but except that the ground and the stick

(07:38):
is a sword in you, Soprobably I don't know that that would go
well. But so essentially at thatpoint the priests are like, yeah,
you want him, you can yet, yeah, he totally works for you
now. And uh so dude stayedand was he was given a high rank.

(08:00):
I look, the real stuff isfascinating, and I understand they're going
to take liberties and then everyone's andthen on the other side, everyone's gonna
be like, ah, you're justThis is pure wokeism. It is.
Don't get me wrong. They madea very conscious decision. They don't follow
the storyline at all. There's nothere's no evidence this dude was ever trained,
which is one of the last thingsthat they would do, even if

(08:22):
they would put up with you asan amusement because again that's and they were
amused by the Catholic priest too becauseof their white skin. But they had
seen some you know, that wasmore prevalent because you had, you know,
people that were in the spice tradeand were going and exploring all this,
so they were not that was notnew, but they weren't going to
train you into the ways of thesamurai. However, it is there is

(08:48):
documentation that this individual fought while alongsidethe military leader who was in charge,
but not in that way. Hehe fought as somebody who was trained with
the edged weapons, but you knowof more of a European variety, and
it's a fascinating story. There wasnot any women doing this, and there
sure wasn't one running her own Leagueof Shadows in Japan that's ever talked about

(09:18):
ever, ever, ever, Soanyway, that's the gist there, I
tell because they're freaking out Darren Brandthough, because when you fire up an
Assassin's Creed game, when the firstthings you see on the screen this has
been for every game since the verybeginning, is it pops up and there's
just some writing on the screen andit'll say this is purely a work of
fiction based on historical events, butit's a work of fiction created by various

(09:39):
people of different faiths and backgrounds.Okay, yeah, that's why I'm doing
this. Because I saw that thepeople this was going to be the next
big cultural freak out on the videogame front. And even before I actually
went and then looked up some ofthis stuff, I remembered that story,
but I remember it being different becauseI had reached sly watched that movie with

(10:01):
the I'll find the name of itand tell you again it's a really slow
burn. But you know, theirattempt the attempt of Western face to essentially
go into Japan. And it's whenyou start learning about is really it's crazy
what they did an Assassin's Creed fanshave been waiting for a game in Japan
forever. Well, it makes perfectsense, obviously. Yes, So any

(10:26):
who, that's a thing, andwe get a little deeper into it.
Don't worry, there's plenty of popculture stuff in the stack today to get
super irritated about. I don't know. The Eric Adams thing is just crazy
to me. If I'm sure bynow you've heard, but every time I

(10:46):
play it, I'm just like,I'm sorry. The what Okay? All
right, So we'll get into thatwell Hollywood in the new Plane, into
the Apes movie, the Lieutenant Governor. He'll join us coming up at eight
o five today. We got lotsto talk about obviously. The election is
say, Ross, have you pouredover the numbers other than just the the

(11:09):
returns. I just heard the headlineslike Kyle Wilson and news did I win?
Oh? Okay, well you're alieutenant governor? Now really no,
no, you're not, damn it. What are you gonna do anyway?
Leave go home? You can goto the become Governor's house and into my
new house. Yes, I hearthat. I hear there's some structural deficiencies

(11:30):
in that house, a little bitof a little bit of an issue.
We rent out of the governor's mansion, but not the lieutenant governors, so
though I think they did do somework recently. But like I remember being
in there once and I'm like,this is kind of a dump. What
is this? So anyway, Yeah, so that race wasn't even close.

(11:52):
I was. I was really surprised. Jim O'Neill hal Weatherman and uh it
was even close, which is crazy. And I know people are starting to
make this connection and I saw Isaw some analysis by some of the RAL
journalists and like Jim O'Neill almost beatJosh Stein, which is true by the

(12:13):
way, for Attorney General. Whereashow Weatherman he was, you know,
he went, he was with theDan Forest campaign, and I'm like,
well, Dan never ran against Joshso you mean Cooper. Yeah, they
did not win. I think thatwas four percent four and a half.
So but what does that have todo with it? This is what I'm

(12:35):
understanding. By the way, whenyou mentioned that Josh almost got beat by
Jim, did you mention that it'sbecause Josh cheated and the courts found that
they cheated. That doesn't get broughtup very often. They flat Stein's campaign
in the court findings misrepresented and hand defamed from an election standpoint, the

(13:01):
O'Neal campaign saying that he was essentiallynot winning justice for rape victims. It
was it was fat. It wasa complete and uther line and the stones
on that. Dude to then useit as a point in this election where
he just solved the rape backlog,even though technically Cooper claimed he solved the
rape backlog just shows you what whichgarbage humans you're dealing with there. So

(13:28):
anyway, that's that obviously a lotcloser in the in the auditors race,
you'd be shocked to learn that Bradnot won. That was was even close.
So yeah, it was. Thatwas crazy times, man. And
I think there was a couple ofsmaller local races that I saw reported,

(13:50):
but nothing, nothing groundbreaking. Butnow we know. Now we know who
the players are and I'll be interestedto talk to Mark about that coming up
at eight oh five Pizza Delivery Newsand uh yes, even Disney. Disney
will make an appearance with a newproblem I was unaware of. So it's,

(14:13):
uh, it's gonna be one ofthose shows. But I mentioned,
uh, what the hell Joe Bidenwas talking about yesterday standing there in a
tuxedo like you know how hard itis to get context on this, dude,
because I don't just play audio ofhim doing this. They want to
do what they finally got done,and then what we did finally got done,

(14:39):
and to make up for it,they wanted to they want to give
power back to Big Pharma. Whatwhat? Okay, Ross, I didn't
I just sent you the clips.You didn't even have context. Do you
want to guess what the hell he'stalking about? Yeah, I want to
venture a guest. Yeah no,you sent it like five minutes to go,
so yes, no idea, noidea. All right, it's a

(15:01):
nice tuxedo, though, it's notabout how MAGA wants to bring us backwards.
Yes, yes, in the generalsense, but in a but in
a specific way, in a specificway. That is a nice tuxedo.
By the way, I will saythat, so good good for you whoever's
playing dress up on your mister potatohead. Anyway, one more time.
They want to do what they finallygot done. And then what we did

(15:26):
finally got done is to make upfor they want to they want to give
power back to big Pharma. Okay, before I and I'm gonna tease you
a little because I'm gonna have tohit a break, I'll give you the
context, or at least the contextwe believe it is. But that's a
rich line coming from well, notjust Democrats, but that's a nobody in

(15:48):
Washington or who was in Washington duringthe damn during any COVID stuff needs to
in a negative way talk about theirpolitical opponents giving power to big pharma.
Can we agree on that? Wedon't want to hear it from any of
you. You all need to shutyour face holes, every every single news

(16:11):
broadcast that was sponsored by Pfizer,every bit of everything that you guys did,
the mental gymnastics. No, wedon't want to hear it, and
we'll be right back. What wasthe event the Asian Pacific American Institute for
Congressional Studies, which is an awardsgala that they do annually in Washington,

(16:33):
d C. And so, asa result, because he's talking about Asian
people and he started into a diatribeabout you know Trump campaign stuff. Joe
decided, I believe, to attemptto invoke the China virus stuff, which

(16:57):
is interesting when you consider the factthat I think the majority of the world,
not necessarily the media, but themajority of the world accepts an outline
of a timeline, and that timelineis the COVID epidemic undoubtedly came out of
Wuhan. And that's evidence not justby the high infection rate in Wuhan or

(17:21):
the reports, but also the secondthe secondary ability to track the flights between
northern Italy and Wuhan. We've talkedabout this. Most people didn't realize that
the leather industry in northern Italy wasalmost exclusively absorbed by Chinese companies, and
when they struck the deal with Italy, they required that they would essentially rescue

(17:48):
this industry, but they would requirean ungodly number of their version of green
cards or workers cards, and whatit created is a ton of daily back
and forth direct flights between Milan andWuhan, which is why if you remember

(18:14):
how weird it was like Wuhan,all the stuff's going on, we can't
see what's going on behind there.Wait a second, why is northern Italy
next and and so look that wasthat was it. They've rejected the wet
market or the natural part of it, and they've looked to this institute that
was doing those research. And whilethey you know, there's no way of

(18:34):
knowing if it was an accident,right, and or if it was intentional.
It probably was an accident. Probablysomebody wasn't being careful. And then
they got out and and and thereyou go. And yet you saw the
un go. This is absurd.And if you if you mentioned it,
it might have come from China.They literally was shut your social media down.

(18:56):
Let everybody knows what's up. Sohe's said there he's deciding to go
after Trump, and it like deviatesfrom what's going on there to this weird
statement by by Biden where I can't, for the life of me figure out
exactly what he's mad at Trump over. It's not tariffs, as he revealed

(19:18):
yesterday, he's fine with those tariffs, even though he previously criticized them.
I'm not a big fan of them, but I recognize that it is whoever's
president has to figure out how youhandle China because they don't play. They'll
steal your stuff man, and thensell it right back to you. But
you can't go on the record assaying that these boy you can't go on

(19:38):
the record saying that, hey,tariffs and specifically how tariffs work, and
that that and that increased costs andpassed on the consumer without recognizing that when
you raise taxes on businesses in theUS, that it's not going to be
passed up excuse me, onto theconsumer. So what do we get for

(20:02):
all of that weird discussion where it'slike, hey, remember that time Trump
was mean to Asian people. Weget this, We want to do what
they finally got done. And thenwhat we did finally got done is to
make up for it, they wantto they want to give power back to
big Pharma. So yeah, thisis the whole thing. Was weird because

(20:26):
I still having watched the speech,read the transcript and even another article,
because and he starts wandering about hestarts wandering before that about injecting bleach,
that old canard, which is likethe lighter version of the good people on
both sides thing. But he thenwent into that. So the reason I'm

(20:52):
explaining all this two years not becauseI find it interesting, necessarily that it's
not new the attack and he's running, you know, they're running against each
other for president. It's that Iam unable to determine how he even got
there. That's what was baffling methis morning, because I try to figure
out context, or at least whatwas he intending to talk about and what
are we now. I can't figureout specifically how he got there unless he

(21:15):
was triggered by the bleach thing.And then it's like, are you implying
that he wants to shut down Bigor he wants he wants Big Pharma to
have proprietary bleach pill. I don'tlike, what are you talking about?
So anyway, and then he wentin and gave a speech ish thing.

(21:36):
Every day, man, every dayit's something new and exciting. All right,
let me get over to this.We got a cancelation this morning.
It's a doozy. This is goingto impact some of your childhoods. But
it must be done, and itmust be done according to the quote and

(21:56):
the story. Uh to dude,The fact that they wrote this out is
amazing to me. Here we go. They're currently in the process of redesigning
a character update. I'll tell youwho the character is in a moment.
For modern audiences. When a wordbecomes a meme against you or a phrase

(22:21):
and you still continue to use it, that always baffles me, always baffles
me, because now more and morepeople think you ridiculous, especially when you
use the term. So when yousay updated for modern audiences, if you've
ever watched any video by anybody whocovers the spot, like, there wants

(22:45):
to be some examples. Ross nerdRotic could be one critical drinker. He
uses updated for modern audiences a lot, right, I think every video he's
got that in there. It's agun. Just some of these other accounts,
like, that's the thing they're usingto mock you. So when you
put it in your statement or yourpress release, I can't figure out what

(23:07):
the hell you're talking about there.But unfortunately, unfortunately the decision has been
made and the changes have to bemade. So officially canceled from your memory
banks, from your childhood and yourchild's childhood, probably tinker Bell. All

(23:32):
right, go ahead, before Ilay it out in your mind, what
do you think the beef is?What do you think the objection to the
current iteration or the previous iterations oftinker Bell is that is so offensive that
the twin. Tinker Bell has tobe updated for modern audience. Maybe the

(23:52):
part where she's flying is the shortskirt well kind of according But I don't
want to point out I'm not readingthis because I wrote it, because I
would be embarrassed, and whoever thisshould be embarrassed. That being said,

(24:14):
here's the statement. Tinker Bell unfortunatelyhas become a problematic image for our guests.
Has it? Are people showing upat Disney? When do you encounter
tinker Bell at Disney? What?I don't know the ride set up or
if if she's prevalent and at presidentin other ways, I have to think

(24:36):
that she's represented if you go takeyour family, cast member in the costume
or whatever, well the cast memberof the costume, I understand. But
like they have a Peter Pan ride, don't they? Yes, they do?
Okay, all right, and tinkerBell, I'm sure is part of
the program right in some way,shape or form. Okay, all right,
So have you been on the ride? Yeah, it's a classic ride.

(24:57):
The wait is always like stupid andthen well is it long? Because
when people are getting off the ride, there's a traffic jam of people hitting
the complaint department that I know ofNo, it's it's a very popular ride.
Oh, it's been around forever.Well, that's right, but now
we have modern audiences. So accordingto Disney, you all are clamoring over

(25:18):
the quote problematic image that it hasbecome for you. See, it's you.
It's not them, it's you big. It's specifically young girls. Oh
or the little ones? Are thelittle girls getting off the ride and crying
because they're upset with the way inwhich Tinkerbaw was portrayed. I feel that's
not true anyway. Statement continues specificallyin terms of the portrayal of an unrealistic

(25:44):
body image. Do you mean wings? Is it the wigs? Listen,
it's the wigs, right, Likeyou end up growing like more than two
inches and you're like, DM,I'm fat, but that's it too.
Yeah? Is it the height?You know, the worst part? She's
on tender and she still doesn't datemen under six foot So sorry, you

(26:10):
had to get that in what isthe unrealistic body image? The part where
she's two inches which, by theway, if you are maybe you guys
should anyway? Or or is itthe wings and the and the flying thing?
I just I have I want toknow is it that she's dusty,
because that means something different in urbandictionary. Now know what it is.

(26:33):
It's that natural tinker Bell glow thatlittle girls will never have. Oh so
it's the aura. It's the aura. It's the wings and the two inches.
It's say it gives little girls anunrealistic yeah goal, and it's dangerous.
Yeah. They're not going to changeany of those things right there.
They're just gonna make her chunkier.I leave tinker Bell alone. If you

(26:55):
go to Disney and you're walking around, you notice like the little girls are
dressed up either as Ariel, right, or Tiana from Princess and the Frog
was the new Splash Mountain ride,there's oh most popular when I when I
went, I didn't know who Tianais because that's a little after my time.
Maybe an Ariel, maybe maybe afew Ariels. You said Ariel,

(27:18):
Oh yeah, you said, I'msorry. You said the one from Frozen,
all right, and then Ariel fromLittle More. Okay, well look
that makes sense. Probably, uhyou know pretty my buddy's uh my buddies
daughters. What is she four something? What was she for? She was?
She did Moulan and like and Ionly remembered it because she had a

(27:40):
sword and then and like it wasa whole thing where she brought it,
but she didn't have a real sword. But you know, schools don't care
anyway. And I'm like, dude, come on, man, I'm you
know, I'm I'm as much asthe next guy. I'll criticize the schools,
but they didn't. Your kid notgetting a wooden sword into school,
Yeah, I kind of get that, so but whatever, Yeah, yeah,

(28:00):
they're not milling around going, oh, I'm way too tall to be
tinker Bell. All right, letme finish the rest of this statement,
because only halfway through the dumb thatsee, specifically in terms of portrayal of
that unrealistic body image as well asdependency of approval or attention from Peter Pan.

(28:25):
Wasn't she wanting to hit it?Did I? Or am I miss
reading the thing? There? Wasn't. I mean, obviously it's a kid's
thing, so it was didn't tinkerBell had a crush? Right, I'm
trying to remember watching Peter Pan ifI remember the hook version, right,
the Robin Williams version where you hadJulie robersus tinker Bell. She definitely like
seemed to have a crush on Peter. Yeah. Yeah, but even in

(28:48):
the animated thing, she you couldtell she was initially irritated by Wendy.
I remember watching that as a kidbecause we had the whole library. Yeah,
probably a thousand times. I hadtwo sisters, So yeah, I
think, yeah, there's definitely somethingthere. You ever, uh, you
ever had a woman and this goesby the way, this goes fully in
reversed too, but let's approach itfrom this ross. You ever had somebody

(29:10):
who it was clear they had acrush on you, but he and they
would just do they like bring youa coffee or they bring you, Hey,
I brought you some I made youa mixtape, right like any of
you know the So when I whenI was a kid, the girl that
lived across the street had like asuper big crush and it was like yes,
and she would seek your approval.She brings you stuff like that's a

(29:32):
thing, that's a human nature thing. Letters and presents and stocking and all
that kind of stuff. Yeah,Peter Pan's not coming back from the you
know, the the Pirate's tavern andthe food's cold and he knocks her around.
I mean, this isn't that's nota thing. It probably is a
thing and some weird skit on theinternet, but you know what I mean,

(29:53):
that's not a thing. He's notsome abusive dude. The modern audience
thing, then, is the capor We feel these traits are no longer
representative of our inclusive focus values andthus are currently in process of redesigning an

(30:15):
updated tinker Bell for modern audiences.What will that be? It might just
be Peter Pan in general that they'retrying to get rid of, because there's
a lot of stuff in that movie. You go back and look and if
you're talking about you quote modern audiences, right, like, Yeah, isn't
there a song about the Red Manin that movie? Yes? I think
there is. I think there is. But that's one thing, right,

(30:38):
the tinker Bell thing? You knowthis is I haven't man, I didn't
want to put this out there becauseI don't want to start something, but
I think we've got to cancel.Peter Jackson, did you see how fat
those orcs were? Like? Didyou even in Lord of the roll Ross
didn't even watch Lord of the Rings, but like, totally unacceptable body image

(31:02):
for orcs. Why can't some ofthem? I mean a couple of them,
but only like the very top oneslook like they put in any time
at the gym. And by theway, a couple of them look like
they're they're taking the easy route ifyou catch them a drift injection injection.
But for the most part, Yeah, that's the same level of stupidity we're
dealing with here. Oh my god, I just realized that the new you

(31:27):
know, how we can know whatthe new tinker Bell is going to look
like? Ross I figured this out. We need to find out photos of
any of the artists for Disney that'sjust gonna insert themselves as to get Remember
what they did with the fairy godmotherin Cinderella, right, he turned it
to that dude. Yeah, likea gay dude. Yeah, that was

(31:48):
the one that they aired on likeNBA or ABC Network or whatever. Yeah.
Man, I don't know where thisis going. You know, the
irony is there that the same stupid, stupid logic tracks there. It's like,
why did you eliminate a female character? But no, to your point,
yeah, I think that you're right. They got to get rid of
Peter Pan. Then you have strucktwo strong, empowered women between Wendy and

(32:15):
Tinker Bell and they they can getthe job done. Man absolutely telling me
to Wendy couldn't pull a giant crocodiledown on Captain Hook spoiler. I feel
like that could happen, all right, anyway, six fifty just so dumb.
Do you think when they were shootingthat movie that they're just like Julia

(32:37):
Roberts and Robin Williams are standing aroundgoing, this is probably who played Hook
in that too. It was abig name, right who played Hook in
that movie? Uh? Dustin Hoffman. Yeah, I was gonna say,
you had huge actors on that thing. They're all sitting around going, I
don't know about this. Uh Julia, Julia, could you not look like
you're in shape? Please? Thisis totally unrealistic. Everything is dumb.

(33:00):
But that's you know that. Letsus have a show, which we'll roll
on in just a few minutes.It is the Casey O Day Radio program.
We're gonna be getting into a discussionabout Caitlyn Clark. And by the
way, I mentioned it earlier andseveral of you have run on I want
to talk about it. You know. You know what, Well, one
it's my show, so sucks foryou. But two it isn't just about

(33:24):
basketball kids, it's I'm getting somereal Jackie Robinson vibes. And I don't
invoke that lightly. I'll explain.Also, Caitlyn Clark had her debut game
yesterday and she did not play well. But this all factors in. It's
less about the the the game andmore about the insanity. Oh great,

(33:47):
do I have hiccups? I bettergo to phone calls. Who let's start
all right? Here we go.So I mentioned in the last hour for
just joining us. The Disney hasdetermined that tinker Bell is now problematic,
so that's a canceling. They literallysaid they're going to redesign her because she

(34:08):
has unrealistic body type, which mightbe the wings or the two inch height.
And uh also she they they intimate. They they said that she listens
to Peter Pan Yep, she alsohas a crush on him. It's literally

(34:30):
part of it. And so whenshe does things for him or stares at
him intently with you know, googlyeyes, that's a that's a natural human
reaction that runs the gamut on bothsides. You're like a friend zoned dude,
okay, and yet you're still payingfor lunch. Stop that stuff.

(34:52):
That's another story for another day.All right, So with that in mind,
let's go to the phones. Donna, you're up first, Go ahead,
Good morning, Casey morning. Sowhat are they going to do fashion
her? Ask Lizzo. I mean, do they realize that tinker Bell's wings
are made of gossamer? You know, the gossamer wings? Excuse me,

(35:14):
made of gossamer? Why? How? Why is that is that a thing?
Well? If there, yes,if there, If they're gossamer wings,
She's never going to get off theground. We're gonna have to give
tinker Bell some giant chicken wings orsomething. Give her that thing? Is

(35:36):
that the word hog? Whatever's thething that can hover? Put a few
of those in. Yeah, Imean, what are they going to do?
Make a fat tinker Bell? Yes, they are, They're going to
make a fat tinker Bell. Imean, dude, they just said they
just said it. Don Like,she's never gonna get off the ground.
Look at her wings. They're madeof gossamer. But she will you know

(35:57):
why, because it's not real.It's not really one of it's real.
Look, the Peter Pan doesn't havewings, and he can fly. Wendy
can fly, Yeah, because theyfly on positivity with the clapping. Yeah.
Well, by the way, ifa positivity, I feel like Disney's
fresh out of that. So yes, a problem. All right, go

(36:20):
drink your horrible vodka martini. Okay, oh hush, I to school if
everybody doesn't know. Yesday on Twitter, Donna was talking about vodka Martini's and
I pointed out that those are notMartini's because Martini is gin and she can't
deal. So no, can't deal. And he tell them why why I
brought up a vodka Martini. Idon't even remember why you brought up a

(36:42):
vaka Martini. Because San Francisco they'retalking about giving alcoholics shots. Oh that's
right, yeah yeah, yeah,they were gonna shots some vodka and beer
if you're homeless and thirsty. Yeah, And I said, well, you
know, if they really cared abouthim, they'd give them martinis. They
know I wouldn't they would if theycared about them. They and instruct these
people who are trying to get theirlives together, the ones who are anyway

(37:05):
to uh have an inaccurate knowledge ofhow cocktails work. So no, I
all right, yeah, yeah,yeah, yeah, just because you put
just because you made some cosmic thisis what I told this. Because you
made cosmetic changes to a drink andthen you transitioned the primary ingredient from it

(37:30):
does not mean that I have torecognize that as a martini or call it
a martini. Okay, you knowwhat that is. That's me being consistent
of my positions across a broader spectrum, Jamal, what's up, hey,
Casey? And people don't remember kinkerBale trying to kill Windy. She literally

(37:54):
did try to kill Wendy. Yeah, you know how, but right,
Jamal? Jamal, would you saythat that is in fitting with my theory
that there is an unrequited love orunrequited love, uh backstory here? And
women are jealous? Yes, sheloves, Yes, she loves Yeah,
yeah, she loves she loves PeterPanns. You know what, Casey.

(38:16):
Yes, the most disrespectful movie isPrincess and the Flog. And I'm gonna
tell you why me and my wifeversus dating. Yes, well, me
and my wife who was first dating. We was launch. She was introduced
me to the inter State. Shetook me to the ency State on theater.
We saw Princes and the Flog.There were so many black stereotypes in

(38:37):
that movie. It was so embarrassing. The white folk in the movie was
turning around looking us like fool likeboo, and me and my wife we
just started sliding down in the chairto poll the up. Papa Shanga,
who's up in the movie, PapaShanga? He up in the movie Black
which Voodoo Dottor with you? I'mlike, okay, then you had the

(38:57):
firefly. If there was anybody whowere more, we gonna boon she John
Johnson, Ray Wag and Fookie andhim when they hold on my wall,
I gotta stop you. I've neverseen this movie. You have a shucking
and jiving firefly in the movie.Yes, Oh, it gets worse today.
Oh my god. You've seen TheBlues Brothers. You ever seen the
Blues Brothers. Of course you rememberthat scene. You remember that scene when

(39:21):
James Brown was the preacher and hehad the choir doing all that stuff around,
right, played for absolute comedic effect. Yes, that was in the
movie as well. When she goesto see Mama Oldis. That was literally
a Baptist church scene. Okay,cause my wife and my mother in law,
they my wife's friend, they allBaptists. I'm old us, but

(39:42):
they all Baptists. Literally they tookthe scene from Blues Brothers and had the
storks just like you would and old. But because you knew it was the
Baptist church, especially with the stainedglass windows in their face. They know
he had the storks jumping around dancingall that like it it was an ordinary
black church. And and it wasliterally the same from Boom Brothers set in

(40:06):
it's set in Cajun country. Justjust for clarity here, so it's it's
it's presented as being like Louisiana based. I'm assuming Ross kind of explained the
premise of the movie. But you'reyou're filling me in. So I guess
a Baptist church would make sense downin that, you know, down yeah,
my wife, look, I saw, my wife said, that's the
Baptist church. And then when yousee the Flamingos and the flamingos and they

(40:30):
supposed to be black, we're supposedto be preacher from me on choir roads,
they dancing and flipping, I'm like, and I couldn't never connect it.
And then when I saw Bloom Brothersnot too many years ago, again,
I said, oh my god,that's what they got. The princess
and the frog sing from They literallytook it from Blue Brother. No,
let's not talk about everything. Yougot to put in. You got the

(40:52):
add hot sauce to it. Thentake to Tadiana sho jamal. Two things.
One you do have have to addhot set to everything. And to
Hillary keeps in her purse. I'malive that stuff. Oh man, I
got so many bottles. Anyway,I'm sorry. When does she sleep in
the boat with all the mattress?When is the does she do the match

(41:14):
the mattress thing? Oh god,I'm trying to remember that scene. Do
I know you're that old big guy? No, one doesn't. Wait,
that's a whole other thing. Ross, I'm thinking of another thing, right,
isn't that it's the princess and thesomething that that that's a different thing,
right, I've not seen any ofthis princess and the pet That's different

(41:37):
thing. Never mind, I'm I'mstupid. I don't know, all right.
So anyway, so they're they're redoingthat scene. So you felt it
was a little stereotypical? Is that? What is that? What I'm doing?
They should call that movie The ProjectQueen and the Boat Dominican Prints.
Do she want the prince as hewas. He was a plant Dominichan and

(41:58):
looked it all her wishes. Shedidn't want to make a big old restaurant
like a gunboat. She was neverappoints. She married the points because it
was the prince. It was aDominican tied me. Oh my god.
I mean I'm looking at this,me and my wife look at this movie
life. Disney gonna put this movieout all right. Well, look it

(42:22):
sounds like they got some other stuff, but that character is the face of
the new Splash Mountain, right?Is that what Ross was saying? Well,
well, we haven't been I haven'tbeen to Disney yet. I've never
been to Disneyland yet, but I'mgonna tell you I'm that movie. Have
you showed that movie to your youryour daughters? Yes, but my daughters

(42:45):
are inter frozen. Oh my god. If they sang their song one more
freaking time. Well no, youhave to know, tomw You have to
got to sit them down. Yougot to sit them down and explain that
it's identity politics and his young blackgirls are not allowed to like Frozen.
They have to go to this.That's Disney's thinking because their assumption is your

(43:06):
kids ain't gonna want to watch Frozen, so they have to do something they
do want to watch. So yougotta, you gotta, you gotta correct
them. Yeah, if I takeFozen for them to from from my little
my two daughters, I take Frozenand take that from them and get them
Patiana. Oh my god. Theycouldn't even stand a black my my mother
in law took them to see theThe Little Mermaid black. My daughter was

(43:29):
right, it won't right, Itjust won't right. I'm like, I
tot, it won't write because sheain't black. Well, that's you know
what, you're just getting hung upon Hans Christian Anderson, where he's from
and where it's set. But Igotta let you go Jamal. Okay,
they let him know, let himknow the New Assassins. They let them
know the New Assassin's Creed. Charactersin feudal Japan are black because there was

(43:52):
a lot of you know, there'sa lot of people who are not Japanese
in feudal Japan. So all right, so that yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, go check it out.I got to roll, Okay,
see you later. Yeah, uhyep, that's the thing, all right.
So one I've now conflated Princess andthe Pea with Princess and the Frog.

(44:15):
But Ross, this explains something youwere explaining to me. You didn't
tell me that the one dude wasDominican, and now I think you got
it wrong. I don't think you'resaying big daddy. I think you're saying
big Poppy. No, no,no, that's nor her friend. Yeah,
her friend growing up as a littlewhite girl, like like rich,
wealthy, and her dad is JohnGoodman. And and the kid. It's

(44:37):
very uncomfortable watching it because the littlekid just keeps calling her daddy, Oh,
big daddy, and it's like evenMarky said, you got to stop
it, just stop. What's wrong? Oh big daddy? Is he gonna
do that for me? Big Daddy? That's you know, that's a thing.
That's a thing, the daddy thing. That's literally a challenge on social

(44:58):
media were you you have you havehigh school girls in a very sexual manner.
I'm gonna call my boyfriend big daddy, and I'm like, oh,
this is creepy. I just can'twhat are you doing? And then you
know, it reminds me of twois the movie Django Unchained, where in
one of one of the plantation owners. All of the female slaves call him

(45:21):
big Daddy with that exaggerated reference there. So oh right, okay, all
right, well there you go.So it sounds like Disney's got some other
stuff to work on. So comingup, have you heard of the art
installation between New York and Dublin.It's kind of a cool concept, I

(45:42):
guess, unfortunately a double it's calledthe Portal by the way, but it's
not actually a portal. But it'skind of a cool concept. Except if
you'd ask me, I could havetold you this thing and go sideways in
about three seconds. And it did. And they've they've they took it down.
I'll explain coming up on the kcO Day radio program. It's not

(46:06):
me doing it, Jamal. Ifyou're still listening bad news some of other
listeners, including a fellow black listeners, it's not gonna go well for you
at the Black Guy meet up becausethey want to revoke your card because of
the hot sauce. I'm not I'mnot in this. I just think that's
funny. Oh I hey, it'sobviously a thing, or Hillary Clinton wouldn't

(46:32):
have gone on the breakfast club orwhatever. Is that the Charlottage and the
God Show. Yeah, I thinkthat was where she did it right,
Wait, was she pulled it outof a purse? Yeah? So I
always carry this with me? Doyou do you really like if you told
me that Ross always carried hot Iwould believe you. But I still be

(46:52):
surprised, mostly because he doesn't haula much crap around with him. But
Hillary Clinton doesn't carry hot sauce.Shut your face. Yeah, hot sauce
is one of the greatest things evermade. But get it out of my
face. If it's under like fivemillion skullville. If it's under five million
skull at poverty hot sauce, okay, that's not I like. Don't get
me like. I like me aspicy hot. I bought some. I

(47:13):
actually bought some Carolina Reapers the otherday, and I've been drying them out,
very excited, not to make myown hot sauce, but I like
to. I'll dry them all theway and then a couple other things,
and then now I have the mostamazing little powder you can just drop in.
It's great stuff, but you knowyou're not just gonna eat one.
Five million might be a little muchfor me. It is to be enjoying.

(47:36):
You give me like a three millionSkullville hot sauce, Like is this
mayo? Like what is this?Dude? If you like hot sauces,
you should go to Southern Asia.I'm telling you man, that was like
you go to uh the topo.I can't remember what the name of the
the what it was. We're inMalaysia, but it's a type of it's
they bring you out like you know, the little thing where they bring They

(47:59):
got all the glass bottles with thecatchup and the you know, mustard.
You go to a diner, theymay put one of those on your table.
It's like a little one of those, except it's got like these little
jars everywhere, and it's like allof these different and they're poorly labeled little
hot sauces and things to try there. I'm not going to Malaysia. So
happened to a plane? Yeah,so I it's going to be clear.

(48:20):
So it was flying from Malaysia toChina and not the other way. So
you're like, wow, you saidthat. No, I couldn't figure out
which direction was going. But thenI remembered it's been a while and I
hadn't thought about it in a while. And now I have seen it back
in the news with but more succinctlythey were somebody put out where they were
essentially saying that it was the pilotwho killed them, like kind of like

(48:45):
what happened was that over Ukraine orright now that was shot down with a
missile over the Alps. That dudehas smashed a plane and killed everybody.
And it changed the kit literally changedthe cockpit door procedure. So now if
you're on a plane and you lookup front when the pilot's got to go

(49:06):
potty, they'll wheel the little drinkcard into some sort of barricade, but
one of the flight attendants will thengo in. It's like a prisoner swap.
And that literally the reason that theyhave the current version of how they
do it is because of not theMalaysia thing, but the thing happened over
in Europe. So AnyWho, let'sget to this. I noticed a couple

(49:30):
days ago that this was let's justsay, going interestingly, but I also
could have predicted this. And bythe way, I think this is cool.
We make fun of a lot ofmodern art stuff, Like just down
the street from where this thing is, they is where they brought the hot
dog thing in I told you aboutthe other day, where it's like a
hot dog the length of a busand it just sits there. And at

(49:53):
first you're like, oh, thismakes sense. I'm in New York.
Hot dogs are a thing here.They got their own version of it.
It's not as good as Chicago one, but it's still okay. And but
in reality it then at like OldFaithful at a certain time, it rises
out of the air like it's gettingready to launch a missile and shoots confetti

(50:15):
and you realize that it's a it'stoxic masculinity, and you're just you're just
done with this stuff. This wasa little more interesting. So this was
called the portal. Now is ita stargate. No, But what it
is is the thing that looks likea little mini stargate, a little portal
you'd walk through, except it's avideo monitor, a twenty four to seven

(50:36):
video monitor to another place in theworld, in this case, to Dublin.
And this stuff exists on the Internetalready. I don't know if you
know this. There are there arevarious sites and services out there where you
can literally be like, hey,I wonder what's going I don't mean like
the security cam feeds. I mean, like what's going on in a certain

(50:59):
place, and you can see otherpeople were connected with it, but do
so in a specific manner, notlike that. What was that one that
just folded? That was like achat roulette o'meagle or megl or something where
every other person is just a dudewith his pants off. So, knowing

(51:20):
all of these things, they setit up one in the party district of
Dublin and another one in the TimesSquare party district of New York, and
crowds would gather in people. Youcould talk, you could say stuff,
you could hear them, you couldshow him pictures, show them other stuff.
And immediately I looked at this andI went, this is gonna end

(51:40):
horribly, And I wasn't wrong.One of the videos that emerged is drunk,
irish people holding up their cell phoneswith pictures of the twin towers collapsing,
which gets a big reaction from NewYork Yorkers making famine jokes. And

(52:02):
then I think the one that wentviral enough that they killed it, which
is ironic because I think the nineto eleven stuff would be more problematic.
But this woman gets right in frontof it wearing a little crop top and
before you know it, she's tryingto get beads. Boop, here they
are check them out, Dublin.What do you think, although here is

(52:23):
the audio of it happening, Icouldn't. I can't figure out exactly what
she's saying at the end. RossI think has a pretty good theory.
So let's play the audio first,which he's entitled American horror Flasher and she

(52:45):
just shaken him to You only geta little side booby on that video.
So one ron, how do youknow she's American? By the way,
I don't know. If you've beento times where you listen in the audio,
you can hear her voice. She'sAmerican. Plus she has an only
fan, So, oh she does? I didn't. Oh yeah, they

(53:08):
have identified her. Yes, shehas only fans. You're shocked to learn.
All right, So what do youthink she's saying, go to my
only fans? Because I didn't getthat? So what is you play it
again? All right? All right, hold on, here we go.
Let's at the very end. Listen, she says, do you like my

(53:35):
potatoes, Dublin, mashed potatoes orpotato? I can't it's one of the
other, but it's definitely potatoes.Let me ask you a question. Let
me ask all the guys a question. I want you guys. I don't
care whether it's your wife or what, just whatever. Have you ever,

(54:00):
upon seeing a woman's sands clothing inany way, shape or form, have
you ever looked at that woman andwent looks like mashed potatoes? No,
you know why, because you wouldn'tbe here listening to the show. You
would get murdered. So there's acertain amount of irony in that. So
look at my Look at my potatoes. So you think that the accent's tougher

(54:24):
because accents are a lot harder topick up on when the audio is quiet
a little distorted, Like do yousee the video of that the chick is
running for Secretary of State in Missourithat I posted on Twitter yesterday? Ross?
But I forgot to afford it.I didn't put it in the stack.
I saw it after. There's thischick who's runner name is I didn't

(54:49):
send it to you because the audioI couldn't play, even though it's hard
to hear her last name is Ortis. I believe. Yeah, here we
go, let's see here. Russhas sent me, Oh, that's not
the only fan. Okay, it'snot okay, Valentina or I said,
Ortiz Valentina Gomez. It's why thisvideo is crazy. In fact, Ross,

(55:13):
I'm gonna send it to you.Listen to it off the air.
Oh why is this thing like that? All right, I'm going to email
it to you. I was gonnatext it to you, but whatever.
And you can't hear it in thatvideo, but I've heard her speak.
She obviously volunteered to go. Shehas a very hispan. She has a
Colombian accent, although she doesn't sayshe's on Colombia ninety nine percent. That's

(55:37):
a Colombian accent, which I neverrealized that the difference between that accent and
a lot of Latin America, justbecause you'll hear a lot of it,
but they have a very distinct accent. Her family's Colombian, but she's American
baby, And she's running over She'sliterally running around. And I love the
people who think she's in some sortof bulletproof vest. That's a weight vest.

(55:58):
And her whole thing is I can'tread her slogan on the air.
No, it's got a big Fbomb in it. Got a big f
bomb, but also what she saysright before that don't be weak and g
word b f ing whatever. Yeah, what's a campaign ad. That's a
campaign ad in Missouri for the Secretaryof State. She's kind of easy on

(56:22):
the eyes too, which I thinkprobably is somewhat helpful. But just her
running around with guns and you know, ultra marathon training and it's wild.
So I will retweet it so youlook at I can't play it on the
air, but the chick flashing there, the people holding up pictures of the
towers. This was all predictable,man, all of it. So you

(56:45):
got But if you're gonna do this, have fun with it. Set up
one here in North Carolina that goesright to Tuscany and then just we'll just
have people from the show go downand be eating olive garden takeout in front
of the Tuscan and might I meanthey did. The chefs are trained in
Tuscany, so there'd be just anolive garden off. Yeah, you like,

(57:06):
they bring out their sticks and thenyou back and forth and never ending.
You think that that's how that wouldgo, absolutely guaranteed, Okay,
because I feel it what I feellike they some some in the Tuscan region
might take that as an insult.No, I think the only difference would
be the price, right, becausethey do lira there. It'd be like

(57:29):
breadsticks and you know, like creatureand bowl apasta, like one hundred thousand
lira whatever it is. I don'tfeel that that's the accurate conversion. But
okay, although food prices are crazy, all right, so you think that's
how it would go and not everybody, and everybody in Tuscany would be there
and they would not be happy.I think the people would be trying to
high five through the portal and bringour countries together. I think there'd be

(57:52):
a lot of the thing with theyou know where you pinch your fingers together
and then shake it in front ofyour face. I think there'd be a
lot of that. But I thinkevery resident of tusk anyway. I think
even the dude from the gas stationwould be there, so, you know,
so something to think about and notGoogle seven forty six raced Agic from
the Weather Channel. He's here,all right, man, this is why

(58:14):
we can't have nice things. Theyset up this this video thing in New
York, this portal, and uhin a few days it's nothing but drunk
irish showing pictures of towers collapsing onnine to eleven and cam horrors from the
US splashing their chesticles. So theytook it down. How predictable was that?
Like, I mean, anybody couldhave told you that, let's go

(58:36):
with the two of the drunkest citiesin the world. All right, anyway,
go right ahead. Yeah, Idon't know anybody else surprised yesterday by
the amount of rain. I wasa little National Weather Service with all the
warnings, Yeah, and even somereports wind damage. A lot of that
your Fatville where they had over aninch of rainfall, but the triad two

(58:58):
point four to nine inches a recordfor the date. Yesterday, more rain
heading in through let's see Winston Salemand heading toward Greensboro. Now, so
some heavier showers down here Davidson Countygiven some red shown up eats of church
Land, and that's all coming east. Some more scattered showers, thunderstorms on
our forecast, and kind of thesoupy air mass that we're in, so

(59:19):
downpours and even a slight risk ofa severe storm again today with wind and
hail, maybe even a brief spinup there could be a tornado, but
that chances tertiarrea tertiary a little bitseventies today, showers, thunderstorms today,
and then we get kind of alittle bit of a break tomorrow, just
some isolated stuff in the afternoon,and otherwise clouds and sunshine still warm up
near eighty and then showers and leatherstorms overturn as we get it to Friday

(59:44):
and possibly even the weekend, especiallySaturday. So yeah, got that look
and feel and sound and everything ofgood old springtime in summertime, and that's
what it's gonna be like with onagain, off again with the rain.
So just watch out again today forsome downpours, could be some gusty winds
even layered on here some of theadvisories and they're still flood warning right now,

(01:00:04):
extended until let's see through this morningthrough late tonight for the Hall River
at at Hall River until late tonight. So some flooding right between the Try
and the Triangle there for that throughAlamance and parts of Chatham County. So
get a little busy here. ButI do think early next week we'll go
into a little dryer, warmer trend, at least for a couple of days

(01:00:25):
anyway, So for now we'll waitfor that. Okay, thank you,
sir, I appreciate it. Yep. And when we come back, Oh
a reminder, eight oh five,the Lieutenant governor, he'll be joining us,
Mark Robinson, we'll chat with him. Tom Brady is he's butt hurt,
so we'll make fun of him.And what was one other thing I

(01:00:47):
want? Oh? The Eric Adams, the Mayor of New York's audio speaking
of New York. Dude, dude, hang on for it. It's next.
I saw something insane. I'm suresome of you saw it. But
if you didn't hear what the Mayorof New York said, hell, allow
me so. Yeah, I willsay this. Adams has been more aggressive

(01:01:15):
with all of the the the quoteunquote migrant stuff. By the way,
did you see that they gave aplea deal or they offered a plea deal
to those pieces of garbage who beatup those police officers in Times Square,
including one who committed further crimes afterthey gave him a little And now they'll

(01:01:35):
get they'll have a year. Butyou have to understand that the level of
charges there they were facing was fifteenyears, so they're gonna get a they're
gonna get a year plus we gettime served, and well, you know,
let's'll have to figure out from adeportation standpoint if that's the thing that's
gonna happen. So, yeah,that'll be enough to irritate you. So

(01:01:58):
Adams is sitting there and he's talkingabout the totality of the problem, but
also some possible solutions, and sohe's shifting frustrations to the Feds. He's
kind of putting Biden on this,and he's saying, look, you know,
it'd be a lot easier is ifwe could find a way that the
folks getting deposited here or in somemany cases now just coming there, they

(01:02:22):
could work. But we need theFeds to be able to do that because
they need that ID number, notSocial Security, but the ID number under
New York state law, and theydon't have it. And if they can't
work, even though we're giving thema bunch of money, then you know
they're out committing crimes. It's theold ice if only isis had jobs argument.

(01:02:45):
But with that in mind, hethen said something that I had to
rewind a couple times, and thenI had to decide whether he meant it
or he's just that clueless. Herewe go, how do we have a
large body of people that are inour city and country that are excellent swimmers
and at the same time we needlifeguards And the only obstacle is I'm gonna

(01:03:08):
restart it. Because that's the realpunchy part. Don't worry we get into
the restaurant because you did just hearwhat you thought you just heard. Again,
here's the mayor. How do wehave a large body of people that
are in our city and country thatare excellent swimmers and at the same time

(01:03:29):
we need lifeguards and the only obstacleis that we won't give them the right
to work to become a lifeguard.That just doesn't make sense. But if
we had a plan that say,you have this shortage your food service workers
and those who fit the criteria,we're going to expect expedite you. If
you have the experience that you area nurse, what you have a nurse's

(01:03:52):
shortage, and we would expect thatexpedite you. And that's the same with
lifeguards. So we have all theseeligible people waiting to work with the skills
we need to fill the jobs,but we're unable to allow them to work
because bureaucracy is in a way whatI'm sorry, what I mean, look

(01:04:15):
at look at all these illegal immigrantswho came across the river. Obviously they
can swim like the Nicaraguana Venezuelan Olympicswim team come over or something. Or
is he just assuming because they crossedthe river the really good swimmers. I
won't racist failed, I don't understand. I don't know. And we do
this a lot. Can you justimagine once again, just flip it.

(01:04:39):
Imagine Donald Trump saying that, can'timagine. Actually I can imagine Donald Trump.
Fair But yeah, slimmer's the greatest, come on dude. But then
but he also but he also hitsfood service. Oh okay, I mean
just like nobody stopped. See no, he's got his his crew run him

(01:05:01):
there. Yeah, he's giving himand they're all like shaking their heads up.
Mm hmmmm. Nobody no side eyeat any moment. We have we
have all these buildings that need tobe cleaned, and we have these people
that are obviously good at climbing.Why don't you clean the windows? And
then they could jump in the pooland be the life of God. They

(01:05:24):
get two jobs. I could givehim two jobs right now? You're racist,
dude, ivid, And so that'swhy I'm like, did he mean
it supposed to be? Choud?Lieutenant Governor looks like he's running just a
couple of minutes late, so we'lldo a little full time and I'm going
to ask him about this headline Ijust saw. Ross. You might be

(01:05:45):
interested in this headline. I knowyou're scrambling to get the LT on,
but I'm gonna read it anyway.This from who's the author? AP?
But w R E. L isrunning it this morning? Are you ready?
Ready? Here we go? Herewe go. Seventy years ago,
school integration. This is in referenceto Brown versus Board of Education. It

(01:06:09):
was the seventieth anniversary of the decision. Okay, seventy years ago, school
integration was a dream many believed couldactually happen. It hasn't. All right,
so let me do this. Let'swelcome in Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson.
I was just reading a headline,sir, how you doing this morning?

(01:06:30):
I'll I don't know if you heardit, but what's going on? I'm
doing good? How are you doing? Tas? I'm good, but my
whole worldview has been shattered reading thismorning's WRAL headline, and I'm curious if
you want to respond to this.It says, quote, seventy years ago,
school integration was a dream many believecould actually happen. It hasn't.

(01:06:56):
I didn't grow up in North Carolina. You did grew up in North Carolina.
I grew up Wyoming, which,admittedly, I will say, we
did not have any black students inmy little town, but we did have
a lot of Native American students,so it was integrated in that fashion.
Did that not happen in North Carolina? Have I been sold a lie?

(01:07:18):
Or are once again these folks justtrying to attack school choice and out of
their mind? Of course it did, Casey, My brother, my older
brothers and sisters were part of thegeneration that completed the integration of our schools
in Greensboro. And yes, theydid have some tough times folks coming together,

(01:07:40):
but they had some great leadership atthose schools. They bought those students
together and got them to realize thatthey were going to be there, burning
together and living together for those hoursthat they were there, and they led
them into a new era. Youknow, it's funny they say that,
Casey, because now you have collegecamps is where you have these eggheads on
campus that want to separate everybody.They want to make safe spaces for blacks

(01:08:04):
and don't allow whites into those spacesand don't have uh safe spaces for for
uh uh for people of Latin descent, and they want safe spaces for those
folks that don't want to let whitefolks in. The same folks who are
saying that we don't have integration arethe same folks that are trying to uh
segregate people now by their by theirrace, by their gender, uh,

(01:08:28):
by the sexual orientation. Uh.These people have never wanted unity. What
they've always wanted is division. Whatthey've always wanted is trouble, and what
they want ultimately is controlled the Thisseems this is I'm not I'm not a
political consultant. I'm sure you've hadopportunity now to be around a few of
those folks. Some are good,some are not. But I feel like
I'm right, So I just this. This is on my list of issues

(01:08:53):
where I don't understand the I don'tunderstand why you would try to make it
essential campaign issue in the same waythat voter id is overwhelmingly supported opportunities for
students who are in failing schools too, because it's not like you can just
pause like you're in this and yougot to figure out how you're going to

(01:09:13):
deal with it. Those run thegamut across the socioeconomic lines. They run
the gamut across racial lines. Thatyou ever see that in Washington, DC
that was Waiting for Superman was adocumentary of almost exclusively black parents showing up
to these lotteries whether their kid wasgoing to get a spot in a charter

(01:09:33):
school and balling their eyes out bothwhen and when it didn't happen because they
were so frustrated. This is onmy list of losing campaign issues, and
yet they're leaning into it. Sohelp me out here. It's about control.
It is about control. They won'tcontrol of these votes, they won't

(01:09:53):
control of these voters, and theyknow in order to keep control of them
they have to continue to give thema failed education. If you educate a
person and how the United States ofAmerica operates, how our government operates,
how our financial systems operate, allof the things that make this nation great,
if you educate people in that veinfrom the time they're in elementary school

(01:10:15):
all the way up to when they'rein high school. You're gonna have a
great number of people coming out ofthose schools that are gonna be great citizens
and are not gonna fall for someof the foodishness that we've seen happen over
the last few decades. And that'swhat this is all about. It's all
about turning people from being victors intovictims or vice versa. They do not
want that to happen. They wantpeople to feel like eternal victims. They

(01:10:38):
don't want them to be out determiningtheir own self worth and their own destiny.
They want them to stay underneath thethumb of an almighty government that will
give them just enough to survive.You know, a little real talk here.
One of the other things that Idon't understand is the way that they've
chosen to go after younderstand. Youknow, hey, here's something on social

(01:11:01):
media. I even understand the abortiondiscussion, and I thought you handled that
very well. But I do notunderstand, and I think it is a
grave mistake when they go after youbased on when you, and like so
many North Carolinians, were financially struggling, and some of those decisions you know

(01:11:23):
where you have maybe insufficient funds onstuff. I think that that is immensely
relatable, and I just like,I don't get why this is the way
that they want to attack you.What are those conversations like, because I
think a lot of people go,yeah, hey, you know, when
we were married and had kids andcouldn't afford stuff, we cut corners too.

(01:11:44):
It's not right morally, but it'sthe reality. How has that been
when people talk to you about it? How do people react to that?
Okay, that's just the thing.Casey and a couple of my primary poets
did this to me. They triedto characterize the fact that I was dead,
broke and struggling to take care ofa family as something that's a moral
issue, as there was some moraldeficiency inside of me. I liked so

(01:12:09):
many people right now in places likeCanton, in places like Ashboro and other
places in this state where industry hasbeen pulled out from underneath them, we
struggled. It wasn't that we didn'twant to pay. We simply did not
have the money. And much ofit was due to the fact that the
rook had been pulled out from underneathus. And you know, those folks,

(01:12:31):
whether it be Democrats on the otherside of the all or some of
my primary opponents. When they didthat, they were literally spinning in the
face of some of the people rightnow that have lost their jobs like places
up in Caton in Ashboro, thepaper meal and the furniture factory out in
Nashboro that close Clouds and furniture,and others who right now are going through
some of the same things that Iwent through and telling them you're not good

(01:12:53):
enough to serve in government either.So let them keep right on going out
there saying that, because what you'redoing is just the smirching the character of
many the good people right here inNorth Carolina was struggling as well. I
think you'd be there to help thosefolks, and I think it would be
a dumb time and it would bea dumb strategy in good times. But
right now, when McDonald's is tryingto get you excited because they want to

(01:13:13):
sell you a five dollars McChicken,nobody's got time for that. People are
struggling who've never struggled before. That'sright, yeah, this is right,
all right, let's uh just again. These are the things that baffle me.
So yesterday we had a runoff,I asked how Weatherman. We had
Hal on the show yesterday. Jimo'nial was the only person we didn't talk

(01:13:34):
to. Of all the five kindof big candidates in there, I had
a chance to chat with Hal.He won seventy five to like twenty five
percent. It was pretty overwhelming,and I asked him, I said,
you and Mark, even though you'renot on a ticket together, how do
you guys get along? And areyou going to be able to sell a
message between the two of you?First? How well do you know How?

(01:13:56):
And the same question to you,sir, what does that look like?
I know how Weatherman very good.I dorst how Weatherman in his run
off, and I am super excitedabout the prospect of a Weatherman Robinson's Robinson
team. We will work absolutely fantastictogether. There are a lot of projects
that I believe that we can workon together, and maybe for the first

(01:14:18):
time in a long time in thisstate's history, you will have a lieutenant
governor and a governor who will workhand in hand for the betterment of the
people of North Carolina. I havecomplete confidence in his abilities. Uh,
He's got a great relationships, greatrelationships with people in the General Assembly.
Uh. He's known all throughout thestate. He's very well respected. He

(01:14:39):
has a wealth of knowledge on awealth of issues, and so we are
looking forward to working with How.Okay, yeah, that's uh. I
think it'll be interesting. I've knownhow a lot of years just from his
time working with Dan. Obviously wecoordinated the same thing we're doing here when
he was lieutenant governor. So uh, I should should be very interesting.
Let me uh, let me popover to something real quick. I get

(01:15:00):
I Mark, I do it.Here's what I do to myself. I
sign up for all of the moonBad email lists because I'm self. I
just love punishing myself. So Isee all of the Cooper stuff and the
various activist groups. The NUBACP yesterdaysent out a thing and they are beside
themselves over the progression now of thisbill, which would, among other things,

(01:15:28):
it would it would reapply a lawthat had been in effects since I
think what nineteen fifties, which basicallywas a law that was put in so
that the Klan couldn't anonymously harass blackpeople, and now that they want to
re implement it in this bill,which the Senate Judiciary Committee approved, I
think the House has already approved.They're beside themselves. I never thought i'd

(01:15:50):
see a day when the NAACP,if they could make a big government argument
they're not, is opposed to alaw to make it harder for plan members
to burn crosses in their yard.I'm very confused. Yes, the NAACP,
from one understand, was also againstthe law that would protect the integrity

(01:16:11):
of the vote and protect the voteof black folks here in this state by
having folks who show their ID toprove who they are before they buy,
before they vote, just like that, to prove who they are, and
they're legal to be able to purchasethe firearm, which is also a right.
I hate to say it, butthe NAACP has been wrong on a

(01:16:32):
number of things for many many years, and they're wrong on this. The
folks who are against this bill arepeople who want to continue to commit quasi
terrorist actions like what we've seen onour college campuses, and we cannot allow
that case. We have got tomake sure that our cities are safe,
our citizens are safe, the lawsbeing followed, and that criminals don't have

(01:16:56):
a segue to be able to hidetheir identity to be able to do in
the various things, and that wholehalted support of the bill. And I'm
sure it's going to pass, andI'll be glad when it does. The
bill also, this is from theRAL article removes the provision that exempts people
who wear a mask for health andsafety reasons that was added in twenty twenty
during the coronavirus pandemic. What's up? I mean, I understand where people

(01:17:21):
may look at that if they fit, because there are people who physically do
have to wear a mask. Youdon't disagree with that right who literally physically
have to for health reasons? Isit because they think it would be abused
or do you disagree with the premiseentirely. I'm just gonna say this case.
I know there are some people whomay need to wear a mask,
but I can tell you one personwho did need to wear a mask when

(01:17:45):
he was out marching with the defundthe Police cloud, and that's Roy Cooper.
He took his mask off when hewent out to protest, went out
to protest with those folks who wereshouting defund the police, who was shouting
death to piece who was shouting ifthe police. He went out with them
to march with those folks. Hetook his mask off. So if he
would take his mask off to goout and march with rockers who were looting

(01:18:08):
the CBS and shouting death to pigsand defund the police, then I think
we should make a law to makesure those criminals are out there trying to
loot those cbs, to burn thosepolice calls. Can't hide their identity either.
They burned my CVS. I tookit very personally. That was my
CVS. That's the one that's whereI got my prescriptions and they burned that.
So yeah, that was they wereattacking me, sir. All right,

(01:18:30):
let's talk about the campus hooligans.Obviously everyone's aware that the board of
trustees over at UNC, including Iguess now the Republican nominee for a secretary
or excuse me, state auditor.He won yesterday. But they did something
and I laughed out loud when Isaw it, Mark, and that was
if you don't know they took,you do, But they don't if they're

(01:18:54):
out there listening. They decided totake the three It was a three point
three million in spending that was goinginto DEI programs at UNC, and they
didn't just cut it, they turnedit back over to law enforcement. Yeah,
what did you think when you heardthat? Huh? What I thought?
Wonderful idea. There's no better timeto need it than right now.

(01:19:15):
Law enforcement is under siege. Theydon't have the things that they need,
and they certainly don't have the supportof many of our elective officials, including
our governor and our Attorney general.And to see this board do that,
I think it was a fantastic statementof the direction that this state needs to
go in. We certainly need toturn our backs on what's what we call
DEI in that form. But I'vebeen telling everybody I can, Casey,

(01:19:40):
I have my own form of DEIthat I'd like to see institute in North
Carolina. Of that my form ofDEI is not diversity, equity and inclusion.
Instead, it's disciplined, excellence andintelligence, because that's what we need
to bring back to our institutions,both in educational in education, in our
government, and in our industry.The you know, the irony here is

(01:20:02):
if you are among the revolutionaries,and I understand from some law enforcement folks,
I know that there's some murmurs,going on, Uh, this is
the kind of thing that could kickoff some rather interesting evenings, probably this
weekend over in the Chapel Hill area. But they got three point three million
in additional funding, albeit for nextyear. But but it requires the will

(01:20:24):
of whoever's in charge of law enforcement. You can fund them to the hilt,
but if they're not going to dothings like we've seen many agencies across
this country do, what good doesit do? It's just a money pit.
So do you think that the leadershipis there to attempt to help this
out? So no, wait,wait, wait, wait, yeah,

(01:20:47):
go ahead, go ahead. Areyou getting some breakfast for us? You're
gonna get in a some breakfast mark, We're hungry, So okay, I
hand it out to Police Memorial.All right, that's the case. We've
got to start supporting our law enforcementbetter. What we're seeing over the last
number of years is just it's dreadful, absolutely dreadful. The statement that the

(01:21:13):
board is making by making this moveis just one of the first steps that
I think the folks in authority needto be taken to push back against the
foolishness that we're seeing. The stuffthat we saw on these campuses was absolutely
it was. It was my number. And then to have the governor to
come to these funerals or these fallingoffices and have the nerve to sit on
the front row of the funerals ofthese brave men when he has done zero

(01:21:39):
to support law enforcement Attorney general thesame way it's to me, it's a
slap in the face of those menand their families. And we definitely need
better in the state. We needfolks that are really going to stand up
and do what's necessary to bring lawand order back into states. Lieutenant Governor
Mark Robinson, I we'll let youget to your event, and it sounds

(01:22:00):
like you're probably busy National Police Week, but we appreciate the time this morning.
Okay, all right, thank you. All right, there you go,
Mark Robinson here on the cacoday orradio program. Oh look at this.
All right, Well, we're gonnahave to address that ral article I
mentioned, because I got all thesepeople emailing me about how they think their
schools were integrated and that there wereother students of different races there. Ay,

(01:22:24):
sir, it's obviously not true.The Associated Press said, so Ross,
remember when you were going to thatall white school back in the day
and Schenectady. Yeah, apparently itwas everywhere. We'll touch on this coming
up in just a few minutes.It is the Cacoday radio program. Hang
on lots to get into. Sothe WRAL article headline here seventy years ago

(01:22:45):
school integration. Excuse me? Whyam I keep doing this? Seventy years
ago? School integration was a dreammany believe could actually happen. It hasn't.
Is that true? Is that asit pertains to black students? Admittedly

(01:23:05):
I don't have working knowledge on thisuntil my junior year, and I have
the hiccups. Ross I gotta I'mgonna drink some water. But tell everyone
about how your all white school inSchenectady was. All right, he's he's
off the microphone. You want tocheck out the Hayes for Sheriff twitch channel.
That's very important to the to thetopic at hand now. It's very

(01:23:26):
fun. Listeners get together, wetalk, we chat and stuff and all
my it's a great, great placeto murder you with a gun. Shut
up. I'm not one for selfpromotion. It's not how I roll,
but it's a Hayes for Sheriff twitchchannel. One word are you better now
all right? Oh my god,I'm holding my breath anyway. So your
point is Schenectady, you was integrated. No, it was in Greek.

(01:23:48):
Dude, bought the hiccups. Goahead. No, you look at the
yearbook and it's like it's like findthe white kid. So you're a verse,
not integrated. This is look again, to sit there and fail to
racket. You want to just bedone? Can we play the best?

(01:24:10):
I got so many things I wantto talk about, though, to sit
there and uh, to ignore thatexperience, especially one that admittedly was much
more tumultuous. You need to eatsomething. That's the secret of getting rid
of hiccups. That happens to beall the time. Like if I eat

(01:24:31):
fast, I'll get hiccups, andthey all got to do is like eat
something really fast. I went tomake toast and the toaster is not working.
Okay, I need to bring Rossbrings in a whole side of beef
every morning or whatever meat so hedoesn't have to What do you have you
have? I'm on my fourth meal. I had four hard boiled eggs.

(01:24:51):
Yeah, a big fan of hardboiled egg cliff bar. I had like
two big things of milk and banana. Why whoa dude? Some people are
allergic to bananas, you monster.Apparently half the Columbia student I dipped them
in peanut butter. Oh my gosh, why would you do such a thing.

(01:25:14):
Is that a shrimp on top?Why would you have shellfish on banana
peanut butter? You know protein?I'm sorry, very all right. By
the way, Columbia's Health College graduationwas last night. How do you think
that went? The Mailman School ofPublic Health? Uh? The key,

(01:25:36):
uh, the speaker, the studentspeaker is let's see here, what is
her name? Saham David Ahmad Aliwas a task with giving the commencement address.
She opened it. I'm not goingto play it all for you,
but I could. It's that short. She opened by blaming Columbia for murdering

(01:25:59):
all the Native Americans and then whenon a Dia tribe. But she was
supposed to speak about hope, andshe did, and she did it in
this very sly manner where she said, I, you know, I want
to talk about hope. I don'thave any hope anymore. And then she
spun a yarn about how the Jewsare running giant body pits. Of Hamaster

(01:26:21):
or excuse me, Palestinian children massgraves and then they cut her mic off
and everybody lost their crap. Andnow they're going to have a protest about
silencing Muslim women's voices. I willsay, this is the first time this
has ever happened to me in liketwenty five years. Yes, what's that

(01:26:41):
the hiccup incident? What do youmean? It's very apparent you still have
the hiccups and I do, Ido, and normally I can get rid
of them just chugging some water.But that's not going away, so you
wouldn't. But you're not going totake advantage of the situation, are you.
Never? I would never do thatto you. Come on, why
don't you tell him how the MalaysianAirlines flight got sucked into warp drive?

(01:27:04):
Yeah? Sure, so you takethe will once again. That's the Hayes
for shareff twitch channel. It's agreat value, man. We have a
good time on Friday nights, abunch of listen. Oh yeah, man,
it's such a good time. Sogood suit. We're gonna be playing
a cat with a gun. Ishared the post of that on the squirrel
Squirrel with a Gun Squirrel with agun. Yeah, the on the once
again on my Twitter account, whichis that Hayes for Sheriff, same name

(01:27:26):
as the Twitch channel. Are youback? I'm no, I'm still hiccupping
anyway, all right, so I'mgonna have to cut through this. All
right. So anyway, the Columbiagraduation didn't go I'm sorry. This is
the rest of the show is gonnasuck or be very amusing, depending on
I'm incredibly amused. Good, good, glad. So this morning, Ross
send me, send me this thisdiatribe, right because we were talking earlier

(01:27:48):
about them. I just don't understandwhat I did. Are you kiss?

(01:28:11):
My woman? Got so much inthe lark here. You don't even know
where you are. I can justyell small SI you are fakes. No,
I'm not. I'm hiccuppy, dude, What the hell? What is
going on? Man? H Whatwas I just talking? Oh? So

(01:28:41):
Ross sent me this diatribe over theMalaysia Airlines flight This dude, and and
I shouldn't say diatribe like it lookslike a think piece. This guy's talking
about some of the new Hey,here's some stuff to think about. Uh,
you know it's title We've solved theuh, the Malaysian Airlines flight,

(01:29:01):
and he starts talking about, uh, you know, radio transmissions, radar
blips, some some of what othersome things that other pilots were doing.
They don't have a lot of explanationabout, like why they were deviating from
their course without necessarily being given ATCATC given of permission to do so.

(01:29:25):
And uh so he goes through allof it. There's a lot to think
about, and then you get tothe end the conclusion. You're ready,
this story was covered up because theUnited States used secret advanced technology on the
plane that would not or could notallow to be disclosed to the public.
That's right, that's right. Wehave real warp drive. Now I hadn't

(01:29:50):
I thought Don Lemon won this wholething with you know, the famous whether
it was hijacking or terrorism or mechanicalfailure or pilot ara But what if it
was something fully that we don't reallyunderstand. A lot of people have been
asking me about that about black holes, Is it preposterous, you think,
Mary, Well, it is ablack hole is about you know, a

(01:30:11):
small black hole would suck in ourentire universe. So we know it's not
that okay, good. Yeah,that's a good point, man. So
maybe it was warp drive. Whatwas the captain's name on the flight Cochrane?
Do we know, right, exidtForring Cochrane, Right, yeah,
yeah, yeah, but there's videosthis guy, uh and then Ross went
down the rabbit hole. Yeah,because I read this thing because it was
like Glenn Beck talked about it.Yeah, the first time I heard about

(01:30:34):
it. All jokes aside were onthe Twitch channel. We had a listener
jump in a chat and they werelike, hey, did you hear about
the news about the Malayian air flight? They figured out what happened. I
know, I had not heard allabout it, Like what about They Oh,
it's a warp drive. It's likea black hole warp drive. Like
what are you talking about? Thenext day, I think it was like
on Monday, Glenn Beck opened hisshow with the warp drive bit about the

(01:30:57):
Malaysian air I didn't hear that.And there's video too, and it's like
it's like that predator heat vision typevideo and you can see the plane and
then these three points of light goaround the plane and it looks like the
plane gets sucked into the hole andyou have no, people dissecting the video
and I don't know if it's likeofficial video from whoever, but you know,

(01:31:17):
oh, we leaked the video,so it could possibly fake a little
bit, a little bit. Butcan you on the audio? Can you
hear somebody say make it so orno? I don't know if there is
audio, I'm assuming you can hearthat. Yes, yeah, yeah,
yeah, okay, So that's whatwe're going with. They yet, not
that you profered the theory, butwhy would they test warp drive on a

(01:31:40):
commercial plane? Wouldn't they do it? And like what you know? Well,
once again, I mean that thepost, the original post from the
guy goes into extreme detail about thetiming, Yeah, the calling and the
pilot and what was on the plane, and you're following along because it's a
very long post. I'll reposted atCasey on the Radio. But then it
so those final two sentences are twoparagraphs and you completely lost me, Like

(01:32:02):
where did warp drive come into this? But this is all this guy's been
doing for like the last three weeks. If you go into his account,
like deep diving this stuff. Yeah, between that dude and the dude who
keeps finding shoes out by Glenwood Springs, Colorado. I don't know if you
saw that. Although I know thissounds horrible, but I feel like I

(01:32:24):
feel like that's overblown because people don'tunderstand how people party out West. They
literally will go out in the middleof nowhere wherever their trucks can get and
then have these big old parties.And the idea that you found debris and
some women's shoes, I don't thinkmeans there's a murder sect, but it
could. I'm excited. We havepeople sending me hiccup information. They say
a spoonful of sugar will help.Does it make the medicine guy, oh

(01:32:47):
wow? All right, well,or I can just go to race stage
stag it for the Weather Channel doesn'thave to pick up no, so I
can't cross talk. You just needto go because I'll start hiccupping it it
keeps laughing. No worries. Yeah, we're dealing with more wet weather.
Yesterday a record rain the Triad andthere's more rain going through and just south

(01:33:09):
of Winston Salem and just went throughGreensboro, a heavier shower, a little
thunder lightning heading toward North Ashboro andAshboro. It's not there, yet it
will be here shortly back to thewest, a little bit more thunder lightning,
we get that batch you go through, and we'll get more even the
risk of some strong two severe stormsas we get into the afternoon. I'm
probably gonna see numbers hover in themidnumber seventies. To get rain. You

(01:33:30):
might not get quite that. Mildshowers of better showers will be likely tonight,
especially early then tomorrow, cloud toget away to sunshine. We're in
between systems, so we should havea dry day and be close to eighty
four of the showers return on Friday. Friday does look like a great chance,
but warm adder above eighty. Ithink over the weekend we'll have some
showers and better showers around. Bestchance Saturday, and then early next week

(01:33:50):
maybe into a little bit drier weathertrend, so more rain going through the
triad right now, heading toward thetriangle that will hold together, and then
we'll get more into the afternoon.And like I said, yesterday, was
kind of surprised by some of theheavy rain and strong storms down your Fayetteville.
Did hear some reports of some winddamage. Might have some gusty winds,
some hail along with the heavy downpours, small risk of a tornado this

(01:34:11):
afternoon. So for head now havea way to get alerts and certainly know
what's going on in and around you. All right, thank you. I'm
holding my breath. Gotta go byebye. There you see it? Yeah,
yeah, yeah, all right,we'll come back with Jeff Bellinger.
Hang on, be I have thehiccups, Jeff Bellinger from Bloomberg News.
So just go, let me justkeep it, okay, Casey. We
finally get a favorable surprise on inflation. Last month's cost of living increase a

(01:34:35):
little bit smaller than expected. TheConsumer Price Index ros three tens percent in
April. The core CPI, whichexcludes food and energy, was also up
three tenths percent. That was inline with forecasts. We had another report
from Washington showing there was no changein retail sales in April. Red Lobster
has reportedly decided that it will filefor Chapter eleven bankruptcy. Source has told

(01:35:00):
Bloomberg about a month ago that theseafood restaurant chain was considering a bankruptcy filing
to help restructure debt. The WallStreet Journal is reporting today the chain has
closed dozens of restaurants and at willfile for bankruptcy before Memorial Day. Americans
are carrying a lot of debt.The New York Fed reports household debt is
at a record high, approaching eighteentrillion dollars, and a lot of borrowers

(01:35:24):
are struggling. The report says inflationhas pushed up the cost of essentials such
as food and rent, so consumersare using their credit cards to pay for
necessities, and of course those creditcard rates are through the ROOF. Federal
Reserve chair Jerome Powell told the ForeignBankers Association the most recent inflation data has
made him less confident about price pressures, and he reiterated that central bankers will

(01:35:46):
likely have to keep borrowing costs highfor a longer period of time. Google
is introducing a version of its Internetsearch engine that incorporates generative artificial intelligence and
casey estion is was Google's augmented realityheadsets simply ahead of its time. That
headset was a big flop with consumerswhen it was introduced about a decade ago,

(01:36:09):
but some Google executives think it maybetime to try again. There was
talk at Google's annual Developer conference aboutbringing Google Glass back with new AI features
Casey. All right, well afterthe Apple one, I think they still
got a ways to go even whenthey're nice. So all right, thank
you, Jeff, appreciate it.Okay, have a good day. Oh

(01:36:30):
yeah, show can't get over fastenough. Oh I gotta do production after
this. Anyway's got a call John, you go right ahead, right ahead,

years ago. I had hiccups forthirty six hours straight, and I was

spouse, owl that in like twoor three seconds that were over with.

on a Friday episode, either thispast Friday the tenth, or a Friday
before. They were talking about that. Yeah, yeah, that was pretty

(01:37:41):
interesting. And the videos are onTwitter at I think the guy's thing is
just the letter x Ashton on Twitterand YouTube. All right, yeah,

No man, I'm super busy inhere. All right, let's hear

(01:38:25):
what the Planet of the Apes actorshad had to say. Once again,
if for whatever reason, in Hollywoodthey just want to do everything to not
let you do enjoy yourself and wantto come see their movies. Case in
point, here's the interview for thenew Apes movie. I'm full but listen
obviously, when I'm playing May,I'm team human, but I'm teammatee phrase,

(01:38:50):
team Ape. Why so, Imean, look at the planet,
right, humans have done the Earth? Well? Yeah, I dislike humans
a lot. You know, there'sthe odd one that's like no, I
mean if there are you know thereI feel you. Humans come together and

(01:39:12):
you go, oh, isn't thislovely? And then there's times so you
go, I absolutely hate us.All right, This is the point where
if you're the interviewer, you needto just keep playing it cool and be
like, okay, hey, sowhen it came to this production of this
ginormous movie, right, you know, the cameras and the film and everything
involved, and even the marketing andthe press for it, and you coming
out of this press junket and flyingaround, what was the green budget on

(01:39:38):
that? Or are you a gianthypocrite that should shut your hole
