Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Do you rush? Do you knowhow long it took the to go through
the house. And I'm pretty Iwould to be very clear. I'm joking
here, but like I gotta remembernot to touch anything or eat stuff.
Now it's stuff you shouldn't be eatingor touching, probably for a certain amount
of time. But that dude hadit down to a science. But it

(00:22):
took a very long time. It'svery very thorough and I don't know,
man, I want this big nightmareto be over. People were said to
be condolence stuff. You know.You know how we get emails in the
afternoon for people listening to the podcastand then try to track back with their
commenting on Sometimes people were just Igot I got an email from somebody goes,

(00:46):
oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, and I you know how,
there's a moment in your head whereyou're like, what do they mean?
Did did our boss die? Imean, what happened? And then I
done to me, I'm like,oh podcast, hey duns, and you're
always gonna be the bug guy now, No, no, don't don't you

(01:06):
dare. I'm not I'm not tryingto spread that. I'm just saying that's
how it's gonna be I'm not thebugs, like the kid eating paste.
I'm the guy who overcame the bugs. I think, right, you're you're
the destroyer of the bugs. Yes, I'm I'm Uh what was what's the
dude's name, Casper van Dyne?Is that good? Should I be Casper

(01:27):
van Dyne? Was that the dude'sname from Starship Troop? Yeah? Right,
he's the right. Remember what happenedto his his whole family down in
Brazil or whatever the last city onearth was those bugs. Man, you
can't turn your back on him.They'll come after you. Are you wearing
one of those suits? I am? Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Ross. Okay, so here's thedeal. I'm gonna talk about this on

(01:52):
the air or whatever. So Ross, And by the way, the level
of concern yesterday, not for me, but for you also was a little
weird. Yeah. No, peopleare afraid that, like, the bugs
will come to my house and thenthey'll upset my kid. They're like,
oh my gosh, you're the same. Ross and I have literally never broadcast
out of the same studio ever.We're this is this is a pro level

(02:15):
act. Kids, Okay, right, uh, we got we're rolling large.
We can't get a window, butso they're having us go to a
new camera system, which is howyou connect the various studios, and Ross's
camera showed up first, so hewas screwing with that. This morning,

(02:37):
you got it all set up,you're happy with it. It's where do
you? Is there still troubleshooting todo? I think I think I'm all
set Yeah, okay, my camerashould be here tomorrow, I guess because
we had to order different separately.So we'll get that all set up.
Have you shot an of yet?The thing's four K? Right? You

(02:58):
know, it's a shame that youWe're gonna hook up your camera, but
then you had the bug problem andthen you had to use the flamethrower and
now that room is completely destroyed andnow you can't record anything. It's it's
it's a shape. This is thisis a devious plot by management for more
web content without Ross and I havingto do anything. So I kind of
get it. But also I didn'tget into radio to have a camera.

(03:22):
The hell are you talking about?But then I thought they're gonna they're gonna
go through looking for content, andlike we should do really weird crap during
the breaks, right, oh dude, I'm your guy. All right,
So like, yeah, all right, hey we come back. Wait wait
till you hear the the Biden audioabout what he's gonna do in the the

(03:46):
overflow room. All right, that'snext, all right. Then we go
into commercial break and then on thecamera in in synchronous motion, Ross and
I get up in our in ourin our separate studio environment, walk over
and while uh gregory and chanting,and grab druid robes and a live chicken

(04:06):
and a knife, and then walkout of the frame, and then about
four and a half minutes later,coming back, no more chicken, what's
that on the knife? Druid thing? Back in there? Hey guys,
welcome back. It's six forty fivecase you and then just say nothing.

(04:28):
I know you're playing the long gamethere, but eventually they're gonna see something
they might have me. You know, I'm on board, but I'm ready.
I have the hats, I havethe gillies, I have the Samurai
sword. I know it's not youknow, that's not Druid period specific or
what the Druids use or obviously samuraiswords. But we're innovating, man,

(04:49):
we're adapting. We're overcoming, soand then we just think up random,
random stuff and then just you know, put it into the little time codes.
Hey you might like this. Ohno, we didn't mean that that
to be on there. I don'tknow why. Is everything just me trying
to figure out how to screw withpeople? Probably because people are screwing with

(05:12):
me. That's all I could assume. There's no other conclusion that I can
draw. These are not serious people. It is one big theater production.
And if that is the case,bravo, mister President from the list of
Live. First of all, hewas made up quote suckers are losing.
I was with he called America inthe cemetery of World War One, suckers

(05:35):
are losing. That's right. CurrentPresident Joe Biden at the time that Trump
was president, was with him.I obviously the federal government's chief psychic,
saw what was coming, and Iwas like, hey, you're next.
You probably should get in there.Joe Biden just claimed to be in France

(05:57):
with Trump when he said so andlosers, essentially adding a on the record,
high profile source to the horrible reportingfrom the Atlantic that literally didn't deliver
what they said they were going todeliver, which was the sources. Now
Biden's the source. That has tobe theater. That's too checkable. He's

(06:21):
claiming to be on another continent asa former vice president, as somebody who
has Secret Service detail. I wantto be clear here, he's not.
There's not a question like, well, Joe said he went to the store
and we haven't seen him for threedays. Maybe he's in France. I

(06:42):
know what you're thinking, like passportsand stuff, Jason Bourne. I'm assuming
that you. I'm assuming if yourpresident or vice president. When you're done,
you have the safety the the whycan I remember the name of this
the security box depos Yes, ohman, it's gonna be a morning,
right, the safety deposit box.And you have, you know, currency

(07:06):
from about five different places, multiplepassports. You get to make up a
bunch of names. Ross. Haveyou figured out what your first alias main
passport would be, cause you getyou can make up whatever you want.
Oh, hold on, you's screeninga call. Yeah, you get like
you get a bunch of those,so it's a little harder to track them.

(07:26):
But you have to not be seen, and you have to not be
around a bunch of people who haveto log their every moment and your every
moment. It's wild. And alsoand also I know this isn't true.

(07:50):
Look, one of the things Ididn't I don't like to do on this
show is brag. Okay, Ross, you not for self promotion. I've
heard that would be okay. Soknowing that a conscious decision was made,
but I can't stand by I andRoight. We know that Joe Biden was

(08:13):
not with him in Normandy because afterthe event, and by the way,
Trump stayed for the whole event anddidn't run to a TV interview and go,
oh my god, I had toditch those suckers and losers. Whoops,
you got me, like Rishi whatever. Over in the UK. After
the event, Trump's like, hey, guys, I wanna go to Olive

(08:35):
Garden and he flew us on AirForce one to the original one in Italy
because it's right there corner booth.Didn't even have to ask. It was
amazing. So and by the way, you're going, wait, hold on,
this doesn't track. Ross says henever leaves the country. And I

(08:56):
would point to a rather interesting loophole. If he is with the President of
the United States and he is withour delegation, Uh, within our embassy
the president. The president is notsubject in the same way that you or
I am to the whims of othercountries. So it is arguable that the

(09:18):
president is in a permanent state ofa an embassy. So if you are
in his presence, what do weknow about embassies? A US embassy is
US soil just is just as itis for other countries here in the US.
So if we're on Air Force one, that's an American plane, and

(09:41):
uh, we're with the president anduh literally the delegation of diplomats there,
I think he I think you couldargue he's still in the US. Problem
solved, mission accomplished, get usthe banner, and there is no Joe
Biden there. So yeah, I'mjust saying, like, this stuff is

(10:03):
so I again, I don't Idon't know that they should be fact checking
on the fly, and I don'texpect Morning Joe to do it. But
what the hell happened on that thing? I saw that he was going on
Morning Joe and I'm like, Okay, this should be interesting, and we
got a ton of audio and itall gets for Wow that like that might

(10:24):
be one of the winners. Butit's progressively awful. I saw a Washington
Post thing and they're like, andshe's it's called white embarrassment, and I'm
like, oh, dear God,what is this? And I don't want
to say it's an interesting thread becauseI think she's onto something that's just like

(10:48):
the contortions that you have to doto not sit there and go this isn't
good. And if you think ironicallyeverything that a lot of people said that
was not good about Donald Trump andin some cases is probably I would agree
with you. Right, you've heardyou've heard me on here where I'm just

(11:09):
like, oh, I wish Trumpwouldn't do that. You have Biden doing
this stuff on steroids in some casesand and maybe not knowing that he's doing
it, and that's terrifying. Didyou see yesterday the former Speaker of the
House. Did you see what hesaid? And I'm mad as hell at
him. Why are you only sayingthis now? The amount of stuff that

(11:33):
media and UH and your representatives aresaying now that they add that they sat
on, what the hell is goingon? All right? So here's what
Kevin McCarthy said the end. Iwant to be very clear, these are
policy meetings. These are not theturkey, you know, the turkey pardon

(11:58):
or h what what color is theChristmas theme gonna be? Or or whatever
you would normally associate with the Firstfamily. Right, these are these are
big boys. We'll use their term, which you'll find out what that means
coming up. These are big boydecisions or if it's a woman present,
big girl or whatever. But itis the it's the Bill burd bit,

(12:24):
right. If you haven't heard BillBurr's bit, he and and of course
he he you know, he isprovocative at the entry and that's just that's
how he is. But he's notwrong. And he's like, if you're
the first lady, shut up anddecorate. And then we're like, oh

(12:45):
gosh. And I added paraphrasing becausehe's he's much funnier than me. But
like I did to hire you,you would hire a plumber and their spouse
show up and be like, well, look I'm married to a plumber.
No Joe Biden sitting in on policymeetings. I'm going to repeat that with
high level meetings with the President,the Speaker of the House, the head

(13:09):
of the senatece. You got Schumerin there, you got McCarthy, you've
got Joe Biden. Is them agreeingon stuff is what moves things along,
even if it's probably didn't need movedalong. And Joe Biden sitting in there,
can you I like, I can'timagine. I know that they're talking

(13:31):
about right now. You know,Hunter Biden's at some of the meetings.
I'm not saying I understand that decision, but I understand why the family and
those around Joe might think that thereare people that don't have his best interest
in mind. Because they don't becausethey'll throw you away in an instant.
And I and and from a leadershipstandpoint, it's pretty clear that we shouldn't

(13:54):
be in the position where that decisionis having to be made. But they'll
write that train until they feel thatthere's too sharp a curve coming and then
and and bail immediately. And thenyou have to kind of lean in on
people you think you can trust.That's not what's going on here. This
is this is way before this.This is McCarthy and and them sitting down

(14:18):
to UH to do big boy stuff. And and now Kevin McCarthy says,
stuff, screw you, dude,the hell is wrong with you? Donna?
What's up? Good morning, Casey, can you hear me? All
right? Uh huh, Okay,just wanted to do a bug check.

(14:39):
You know what I was imagining whenyou were talking about your studios higher in
separate studios. I bet Ross's ismeticulously set up and super clean. He's
got all of his action figures linedup and his bobble head and all that
stuff, And yours is like OscarMadison's bedroom. You've got sandwiches stuffed,

(15:00):
three day old sandwiches, stuff onthe newspapers. And you're half right.
You were half right. Donna.Ross is a fine collection of all sorts
of chotchkeys and collectibles. He prefersthe term collectibles and then just some random
stuff like if if you guys,if there was a kid coming in to

(15:20):
visit the radio station with his parents, that's the room I would stick the
kid in. Ross would want there, you go, put the kid mine
the spark spartan, absolutely spartan,except I do have a bunch of stacked
boxes because I'm not hauling them downstairs. Okay. The other thing I wanted

(15:41):
to know, Hey, listen,I got three seconds. Did you hear
what the mayor of Chicago said aboutthe shootings? All hundred of them,
or just the seventeen where they werekilled, all hundred of them, all
the black on black crime. I'mgonna look it up because I literally I'm
going to hit a hard break.I will look it up and we'll go
for there. Donna, thank youvery much for the call, and we

(16:03):
will be right back in just afew minutes. Hang on talking about coups
and stuff off the air, youknow, light stuff, all right,
Donna, I'm assuming you're referring tothis. Hey, for all of you,
I'm not scolding you, Donna,but if I tell you I have
thirty seconds, I mean it.And because the alternative is literally it cuts
us both off and that doesn't soundgood. So I'm not trying to be

(16:25):
mean to you when I'm doing it. It's I. I don't control that.
Ross control No, Ross doesn't controlit. The log controls it.
We are slaves to the log.Okay, all right? AnyWho, So
I guess if you didn't hear,oh, it's I underquoted part of this.

(16:47):
More than one hundred people were shotin Chicago over the fourth of July
weekend nineteen fatally, I know it'sone in five A good I mean If
you're gonna do something, do itright. I'm not encouraging more people to
be shot. I would encourage younot to shoot people unless you know they

(17:10):
need shooting because you know they're breakinginto your house to rape and kill your
family or whatever. Maybe not evenin that order, fine, but you
know, for just I'll limit mycomments to Felon on Fellon violence. You
guys could do better. And plus, if you're more precise with your shots,

(17:33):
then I don't have to read thesehorrific stories about the kid who thought
he was getting an icy and hegot a bullet instead. Okay, they
can't bury you beneath the prison enough, you pieces of crap who did that
in Durham, who will probably willnever be executed, who should be on
TV today to entertain me later.Sorry, I'm a little grouchy, but

(17:56):
my house is it's no things whereit should be because I had to pull
everything. It's just crazy, veryannoyed by it. But that would make
me happy. Yes, I'm thatguy because I agree with Mark Robinson.
Some people need killing, I know, and I'm on the train. If

(18:18):
you're gonna be just randomly murder littlekids who think they're getting an icy,
you're on that list. Okay,all right, sorry, small rant.
So nineteen fatally, one hundred injuredover the fourth of July weekend. And
it's what's crazy is the non blinkingthat people do when you hear Chicago numbers
for these things anymore? Do youremember when those numbers used to like blow

(18:40):
your mind? I remember it.And we do this for a living.
Okay, well, I do thisfor a living, and I remember the
first time. I sorry, asalesperson just asked me for a spot?
What after the show? What isCan you record that right now? Would

(19:02):
it be an issue? What doyou mean? Can you record it right
now? You want me to recordit? Yeah? Live on the air?
Can you do it right now?Is it an issue? I could?
I could bang out that spot?Yeah? Absolutely? Is that what
the audience wants to hear me recorda commercial? Wellt's see what's the commercial
for? Is it Hayes for sharepost apocalyptic meat? No, it's for
I sell health Okay, very fine. Clients for people who want to buy

(19:26):
insurance but don't want to do Obamacare, because people who do Obamacare think that's
their only choice. And that's whatthey want you to think. Because they're
the government, all right, littleconspiracy in there. I should there's probably
something I'd get in trouble for doingit in some way, shape or form,
but just to do it out ofspite so people don't send me emails.
But I'm in the middle of thefirst hour of my show. What

(19:51):
was the other one? You wantto do? Ross's horse meat thing or
the the It was that for thekids? Right, Sorry, I'm a
little on edge for obvious reasons.Is it? Is it because of the
bugs? It's not helpful, It'snot contributing to positive man, just because
I'm I look, I'm I'm I'mvery happy with the way things were going.

(20:21):
Like I was. Really, Ididn't know what to expect yesterday,
and I was very pleased with it. But you know, that's not a
one day thing. And I knowpeople are like, just prank the house
to ninety and leave for two days. I read about that, and you
like, it works sometimes, butnot really, and you have to the
proper condict because people's houses are differenttemperatures. And I appreciate all that.

(20:47):
You know, my dad dide twotours in Vietnam and he wasn't affected by
the bugs. Shrugged it off.Yeah, I mean I get that.
I don't don't really have a responsefor that because like that's probably also like
was he more concerned about the bugsor being shot at, right, or

(21:08):
you know pungee stick pits? Right, I think it's the shooting and the
pungy pits. Yet, so I'min a position where like, I'm not
gonna I'm not going to you know, be up in my kitchen making food
later and then step too close tosomething and then in a pungee pit.
That's not going to be a thing. So I don't have that concern.

(21:29):
So I I feel like I canprioritize bugs rather than tunnel people or whatever
comeing to trap me. Dude,I watched, I don't know, I
watched. It's like a one hourdocumentary. I still have got to thee
with the point, but I willof like the traps of Vietnam. He
ever seen that? Yeah, I'veseen all of them. Yep. Oh

(21:51):
my gosh. You're just thinking,oh, there's the because you've seen in
other movies. Right, you getthe looks like leaves and it's actually just
a bunch of like carved bamboo.Hunter and then dudes impaled. No,
No, they have they had alot of time on their hands. I've
watched videos too on like the creaturesof Vietnam, like the insects and the
bugs and the snakes. And yousee that picture going around social media of

(22:14):
the guy like holding up what lookslike a centipede demon going from his head
down to his feet. You knowthe picture I'm talking about. Yep,
yeah, Jacks and people are like, oh, it's photoshop. It's like,
no, it's a real thing that'sover there. I my current biggest
and I and good, I'll sayinsect, but then somebody's some erected experts
gonna be like, oh, tacticallyit's a thing, all right, for
what most people when you say bugs, you can be caterpillar. Caterpillar would

(22:40):
be a bug, the centipede ofdoom that Ross is referring to, or
a spider, right, And I'msorry, something's really really gonna have to
put in the hours to beat theAfghan the camp was it? The camel
spider? The thing that literally whileit's you liquefy your inside. We had

(23:02):
people call in before who you know, had done tours over there. Yeah,
have no idea terrifying that it bitesinto you while you're sleeping, and
it numbs the pain so you don'tknow you're being bit, and it just
keeps biting into till there's a giantYou wake up and then there's a giant
hole in your leg and it's liquefiedinside. That's the other part, because
whatever it's using, because it's notchewing, it's secreting something that's turning you

(23:30):
into a milkshake while you sleep.I'm sorry, is there something worse than
that ross? That or the themillipede of Doom? I feel like in
the uh all, hell, no, it's got to be the spider there,
right, gotta be the spider.Any back to this, and then

(23:56):
during the break where we're faking anotherthing, will you just you go in
your drawer and you get the millipedeof doom and I get the spider thing
with that, and then we walktowards some management's office can come back without
them. They'll be searching that wholeother side of the building for days.

(24:19):
I'm just getting ideas the whole way. So what is your response when you're
the mayor of a city who celebratedthe fourth of July by murdering nineteen of
your citizens and attempting to murder aeighty one more. You gotta find somebody
to blame, and he did.And you know what, this is a

(24:40):
good This is an oldie, buta goodie. As they say, let's
see here. Initially, he said, we're here to emphatically say that this
is enough. It's enough when there'sreckless violence ravages our city at this magnitude
were leaves. We're losing a pieceof the soul of Chicago. I feel

(25:03):
like that that is a process thatbegan well before you, sir. He
also urged federal authorities to respond tomass shootings in Chicago. Basically, it's
like, you need more gun grabberlaws. And then a reporter asked him
if he'd heard any gunfire from theten shootings that took place over the weekend
where his family lives. That's wildto me, right, they're even shooting

(25:26):
up this dude's neighborhood and he's andhe's over the West Side, So I
mean, he's not in a badplace as beautiful anyway, as beautiful as
that area is, it's a neighborhoodthat unfortunately has been neglected over the course
of decades. So yeah, wehear the shots. Actually they're like,
oh it's gentrified. Yeah, herewe go. And then and then finally

(25:56):
this quote, we are standing heretoday talking about a violent weekend because of
generations of disinvestment and disenfranchisement that runsdeep in the exact communities where so much
of the violence has taken place,you know. The newsweek damn it,

(26:22):
they cut off part of the quotehere, all right, hang on,
sorry, I'm trying to do thison the fly. They ended up.
I had like ten seconds to Phil, and I want to I want to
be very specific. Uh yeah,no, no, no, this is

(26:47):
what we're doing. I'm gonna cuta spot now. We're doing this.
Everybody's jacking up my scheduling today becausemy not Dona, but my internet right
now, all right, because Ilike to give you accurate quotes rather than
spin them and give you part ofthem. Little thing I strive to do,

(27:07):
all right, dude, Yeah,I cannot. I cannot echo enough
they the the worthlessness that the Googlesearch engine is becoming, and not even
for stuff that's controversial. I meanthis obviously hast I was like, I
was googling something that was so innocuousyesterday and it was like, how can
you not understand what I'm asking?How do you? How do you not

(27:33):
know this? All right? Herewe go? All right, so the
quote I read you, Oh,what is wrong with you, dude?
Is there is there something wrong withour actual network? All right? Here
we go. So when you hearthat quote that he was talking about,

(27:56):
he's talking about the years of youknow, disinvestment and this enfranchisement he is,
he's running the gamut of who he'sblaming. And he said, we're
standing here today talking about the violentweekend. Black death has unfortunately accepted in
this country for a very long time. We had a chance sixty years ago

(28:21):
to get at the root cause,and people mocked Lyndon Johnson and we ended
up with Richard Nixon. That's right, the mayor of Chicago, who I'm
pretty sure he wasn't alive when Nixonwas in office. He's not that old.
Is he blamed Richard Nixon for whathappened in Chicago over the weekend.

(28:44):
That's what Dick Nixon, You're theone who done it, which is wild
to me but also a really goodcatch all scapegoat. I guess I wonder
if he was just on the fly, like oh, who should we blame?
And if you're willing to blame peopleare either dead, had nothing to
do with it, or whatever.I mean, the list is endly you
blame the Smurfs next weekend and withGargamel, Right, but why do I

(29:08):
know that? Still the amount ofcrap that we retain that I don't know
will ever be useful again, exceptthat one fleeting moment is pretty amazing.
All right, six forty eight CacodayRadio program phone number eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four.So I have to like delete this email

(29:32):
because it's just triggering me? Isthat? How is though the words we
use? I'm not in college campusesright now, so I don't know how
it how it works? All right? Coming up on the show, the
Washington Post article or article string ofthoughts, it's it would be more accurate
whiteness and embarrassment, and so comingfrom the Washington Post, you just you

(29:53):
know it's going to be great.And then also let me just throw this
in here. Just before the show, Ross, I think you screwing around
with your camera. We had acommercial that ran on the Raleigh station for
Kids Bop, which is they hadlike the list of tours, all the
tours that are coming to North Carolina, and one of them was Kids Bop.
I don't remember where it was,but it was in Raleigh. I

(30:17):
don't remember if it was Red Hator whatever. But is that still a
thing? Kids Bop? I hadno idea that was still a thing.
Now. We were not ross andI were way too old for the initial
Kids Pop. But I remember thoseinsanely nails on chalkboard videos. Not because

(30:38):
I want your kid to be funor whatever, but you know, I
was right at that age where I'mlike, I would rather go where those
camel spiders are. But the kidsare singing along, they're having a great
time. Like I get it.Now, twenty something year old me didn't
get it. I get it.I still want to go, but I
get it, Okay, But Iremember or because of the age of the

(31:02):
kids, like, you're not havingthem. They're not in there singing,
uh you know John Lennon stuff,right, They're not They're not doing grateful
dead covers. The kids are prettyrelegated to what he is in the uh,
the zeitgeist at the moment. Andyou know, when this thing came
on, you had enough sanitized hitsthat you could do it right, you

(31:25):
could run the gamut. I rememberHanson was on there, obviously, was
there Matchbox twenty, you know,and and these were the songs that were
currently hot. Because the kids theirtheir their their memory, their time span
there is so short. What thehell are the kids singing now? Wap?

(31:45):
Yeah, I have no idea ithas to be. I mean,
Taylor Swift has to be on there. Okay, fine, kaylor Swift's probably
on there. But I but I'mlike if I just went and looked at
a list of the top one,you know, the top one hundred across
the dude, I am so outof the loop on any music that's that
right now, like any I'm likeway Pop I went to last year,
so there was time there to maybehave it that reached me through a commercial

(32:07):
or something. I'm so not I'mso old. I'm not old. I'm
discerning. That's the word I'm gonnago with, because there is newer stuff
that I actually think is is prettygood. Right, I can genuinely respect
talent regardless of format, with theexception of just very rarely, just very

(32:30):
rare things. I just like,no, I'll give it, I'll give
it a sample. I don't knowone. I don't know most of these
songs. I don't know that Icould pronounce on the air some of these
songs. So one of the kidsthey killed alternative rock, that's dead.
You realize that, I don't somebody'sgonna get irritated. But it has been

(32:51):
absolutely sayed up that I can't evenanymore anyway. I just I just wanted
to throw it out there because it'sbaffles me. But I don't know.
Maybe when he has been to thekids bot, I don't know what the
kids are singing. But if they'resinging WAP, I want to see that
promo commercial because they ain't gonna knowwhy they're singing it. But it's like

(33:14):
people should go to jail. Andsome of the other songs, like the
titles are fine, but if youlook into the lyrics and I I have
no idea, I have no answers. So, but we do have more
stories coming up after the news hangon, Oh we'll never We'll never know
what what did? What did histortured soul want to speak about? Uh?
Ross? When he screened them?Do you ever remember some very serious

(33:35):
political event? I can't recall.He was gonna he was gonna cut into
me over the bugs, wasn't he? He had some thoughts of the bugs?
Yes, yeah, okay, Iassume in Boson you don't even notice
because the entire town's infested. Isthat accurate? Had you heard that?
Just bed bugs everywhere the whole city. You don't have to look. Don't
check that. Google will lie toyou. By the way, uh,

(33:58):
I am h who was a dibbs. Somebody wrote the because I've heard this
theory and I subscribed to it yearsago, that Google, when you have
like ninety percent of the market shareand you want more ads, just make
people have to look at more pagesto find what they want. And there's
a break even point before people go, I'm willing to shift my allegiance to

(34:20):
Duck Duck Go or one of theothers. Right, by the way,
do not call me and explain theownership history of Duck Duck Go. Right.
People can look it up. I'mnot getting into it on the air.
You know why get people get socrazy about that nobody cares right now
because they have eyes, And thenGoogle it because they'll give you the worst
version, and then duck duck goit and they'll give you the best and

(34:40):
that's where we are because there's twotruths. So anyway, so yeah,
I like that conspiracy theory and butlike at this point it's getting ridiculous.
It's just ridiculous, man. AlthoughI will say this, it's not my
favorite conspiracy theory today. All right, Ross, do you know the big
hot, the hot new conspiracy withhaving to do with the hurricane. There's

(35:07):
a barrel conspiracy. No, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh dude,
yes, And it's not the standardHeart made it right, because that's the
usual one, right, Oh,Heart made the uh the thing and to
make a make people get on theglobal warming train or whatever. So no,

(35:28):
so if you look at the pathor the projected path that it's that
it is currently working on and thepath of totality for the eclipse, they're
basically the same. Why would ahurricane across through North America on the exact
same path as the eclipse main path? And what I love is it's both

(35:58):
a conspiracy but one that requires peoplewho kind of think they can explain it
scientifically to create their own conspiracy theoryto combat it. Right, They're saying
things like, well, it's therotation of the Earth and the what was
one of the reason. It's therotation of the Earth that causes that.

(36:21):
And oh in a wind and weatherpatterns, Well that's true for a hurricane
kind of, although you know theymove because they bring so much force.
But yeah, that's why you canproject them. And yes, you can
project the the you know the pathof the eclipse, right, we can
see eclipse pass well into the future. Stuff that'll be here, probably after

(36:45):
we've already murdered all of ourselves.But you they're different and how you do
it, and the hurricane requires soyou got to wait for it to form,
and you gotta see some stuff.And even then there's a reason you
have a cone. So you're makingup your own lie to combat this.
Except I don't know what the restof that conspiracy is, because like nobody

(37:07):
gets past that first part. They'relike, they're just awestruck. If you
lay over the maps that they looksimilar. What are you implying. Are
you implying that they people control thehurricanes and it's a harp thing or are
you implying that they control the sunor both? And who would have such
power? I don't know the answerto that. But you know, if

(37:30):
you want to go down a littlebit of a rabbit hole that is yours
for the asking, so to speakright there on the internet and on the
twitters for you, so do enjoyyourself. Oh good, all right,
So just to stick this brainworm orthis earworm into your brain. I had

(37:51):
Ross dub one of the Kids Bopcommercials again. I'm just trying to figure
out what this would sound like withmodern day songs and kids. You'res so
lucky, am I? Because sevenmeans some of your favorite songs are together
again in one great place. It'sthe brand new Kids Bop seven, the

(38:15):
best selling kids music series in thecountry. Does it again? Track after
track of kid friendly songs performed bythat kid's bob kids for me, for

(38:36):
Me, for me, I can't, I can't, I can't now.
But you know it shows you thatif you get into the most popular songs
in America, there's there was lotsof There was lots to choose from.
I don't know how abruptly they wouldchange songs, but you know, really
avoiding you know, the Kelluses ofthe world and others of the area of

(38:59):
the era. Was she the oh, Caalise, I'm sorry, I don't
even know. But is that themilkshake song or that? And who did
the neck and back song? Idon't remember, yeah, all right,
But my point is like those wereeasily spot well. Although you could probably
sing the milkshake song and a kidwould just be like milkshake, they didn't

(39:22):
have a version of that. Iremember that Milkshake with my friends. It
was a cute radio edit. Butyeah, they did well. Radio edits
are I don't even know how theydo it nowadays, just crazy, but
like you, but you could activelyavoid it, and I'm sure I just
I don't have a large enough scopeof understanding of all of this, but

(39:45):
it feels like it would be allTaylor Swift. Now, let me tell
you a tale, okay about thisis gonna be good if you can.
If you just called it a takeabout kids bops and I call it kid
bops, it's k bop but Isay kid bops, right, it is
how I say so specifically that cutfrom two thousand and five, which was
kid Bop seven or whatever. Okay, So in two thousand and five I

(40:07):
worked at a top forty radio station. It was twenty four some like that,
I think, And yeah, no, I was super young. So
I was working at a top fortystation doing the night show there yep,
in Atlanta, and part of myduties was I had to MC the nightclubs
on the weekend, okay, whichwhen you're like in the Ride twelve and

(40:30):
now it's crazy. There was thisone on Saturdays called Vision, and Vision
is where everyone went if you werein hip hop or whatever. Okay,
there was certain times where I'd beat the DJ booth with the microphone and
I would turn around and literally Ludicrousis there? Or you're walking? Or
an usher is there? Or oror P Diddy is there? Everybody was

(40:51):
there? Why? Yes? Allright? But they're cool, all right,
completely cool, completely cool. Andone guy that I hung out with
all the time. He also dida lot of production for the radio station.
He owned his own production company.He did production for like commercials and
TV commercials and web everything. He'sthe guy so get this. So I

(41:14):
had to go down to his studioto record the commercials for the club,
and it'd be like, hey,join me, I'm gonna be at Vision
blah blah blah. And he wasthe he was the the mister voice of
it. So he'd be like Visionand then it would be like me in
between you know his amazing Yeah,because that's what he did. Yes.
So we were hanging out for likea year or two, and one night
he just looks over at me andthis guy, by the way, is

(41:37):
his gangster as can be. Whenyou picture a gangster guy at the club
in downtown Atlanta. This is theguy he shouldn't. Okay, So we're
hanging out. This story is great. So we're hanging out and he just
looks over at me one day andhe goes, man, i want you
to be the voice of kid Bops. Stop. And I'm like what And

(41:57):
this is that the knockoff? No, this is the thing. This is
kid Bops And this is two thousandand five for the commercial I just played
true and I go what He goes, listen, you need to come down
to my studio tomorrow morning, eightnine o'clock. I'm gonna come there early,
and you're gonna be the new voiceof kid Bops. And I'm ma,
I'm thinking he's messing with me.I'm like yeah, I'm all like

(42:19):
what in the morning, right,And I'm like super drunk. I'm in
my mid twenties. Yeah, absolutely, you know, and I'm just like,
all right, Bud, Yeah,we'll see you down there at the
studio at eight nine am to recordthe Kid Bops whatever. Yeah. So
I sleep in and I wake upat like twelve o'clock noon and then check
my phone and I have like thirtyforty voicemails from dude at the recording studio

(42:40):
going off on me because he gotup early and he was ready for me
to record my Kid Bops commercial.And I'm like, I'm to irritate kid
night. Yeah. No, I'mlike, dude was serious and in the
voice of Kids Box it goes sobad, it goes up the chain to

(43:00):
my program director. My program directorcalls, I mean, he's like,
why didn't you go to Dude's place? You could have the Kid Bops.
I'm like, Dude, I didn'tthink he really wanted me to be the
voice of Kid Bops. I wouldn't. I wouldn't have believed that at two
in the morning, hammered in ahip hop. The story just ends.
There's no happy ending. I wasthat close to being the voice of Kid
Bops and so I could have beenthat guy Kid Bubs Volume four, whatever

(43:23):
the hell it was. Yeah,where would you be Today Island or whatever.
I don't know what, but itjust looks over and I listen back
to the commercial. Yeah, yeah, right, you're so lucky. This

(43:45):
guy's got such a puker delivery Igot. I could do UPRK do down.
I could change my voice not anissue. Kid BOP's Volume five,
that's amazing. Yeah, but Idon't know the way he looked over at
mean, he was like, dog, I want you to be the voice
of kid Bucks. I feel likeyou roll the dice on that. Maybe

(44:06):
I guess, you know, hindsight'stwenty twenty. We do stupid stuff where
you did? I tell you?When I was younger, they wanted me
to be the drummer for cars forkids. So what happened? Had that
fall through? They don't drum,so and uh, you no problem.
Nobody can sing here anyway. Youcould wing it. You could wing it'd
be fine. Yeah yeah, yeah. They're just like pretend to drum,
and she'll pretend to play the guitar, which she clearly is in that commercial.

(44:30):
So and uh, then I realizedthat I was thirty, so they're
like, ah, that's probably notgonna work out age discrimination. I should
have sued, but I didn't sobecause the cars are for the kids.
Although actually, do you know wherethat money went. I'm not trying to
start some stuff. I just rememberbeing fascinated when I when I first learned

(44:52):
this, and now I just realizedthat maybe this is not the time right
now to I'm to unveil this,all right, So the money goes through
a program facilitated by a charity calledOohrah, which is a charity for Jewish

(45:17):
children and families. So it literallythe cars for kids went to this Jewish
families thing, and which is fine, by the way. I again,
I'm not trying to start some stuff, but like they never kind of disclosed
the commercial. I heard somebody criticize, and I'm like, I don't know
where you put that in. AndI think their beef was well, it

(45:40):
wasn't for all the kids. AndI want to tell that person from ten
years ago, wait till you hearhow they run everything now, whether it's
hiring college admissions. This is nothing. But yeah, yeah, here we
go. Yeah, they wrote allthe of course they wrote all these ads

(46:00):
or these these takedown things in themedia. Can you believe it does this?
I'm like, yeah, I guessI kind of can. But I'll
tell you what's crazy is, whydon't you look at some of these charities
that you do like and the moneyis going to Hamas that's the thing that's
happening. Or what's the oh,what is the the what is the the

(46:29):
illegal immigrant advocate groups? Larraza?Do you ever see how much money flows
through different charities to Larraza? Youshould. If you don't know about Larraza,
you should be if I want todo a little, uh little research
and not the one that you're gonnaget that is wild. So I just

(46:50):
googled LaRaza. Do you know whatcomes up? It comes up the Spanish
expression and uh, if you don'tknow what larrazza means, it's a slangy
way to say mixed race kind of, but not as an individual but as
a population, which you know itis fine. But if you do,

(47:12):
if you get into the Raza andyou get into the history here in the
US and some of the stuff goingon, now it's they're uh, they
were, they were very much init. And then I'm trying to remember
the unindicted co conspirator thing, theIslamic charity, like a lot of this
stuff. Man, you should knowwho you're giving to. So there's that.

(47:37):
But I don't know how this turnedinto that because Ross was almost the
kids Pop guy. Do you thinkthough, that that would follow you the
rest of your life? Like theBlues Clues dude, where you just want
to get away from it? Thatwould be my key. I mean,
I wouldn't care as long as Iwas making bank. But I was as
young and stupid. Well, let'sface it like that. There's no residuals

(47:57):
there probably so, but yeah,what would that be if you're gonna go
hit on women? Would that be? Uh? Like, hey, hey,
hey, you know who I am? You think I mean? I
mean, listen, it could belike you know what happened with Steve from
Blues Clothes is he would get hiton all the time when it came to
women who had kids all the time. He tells that story. Yeah,

(48:21):
Beck, yeah, but I thinkhis way here he was in a band
or something, right, he wentfull liked. I don't blame him,
no, Yeah, he was ina band and he did his audition for
Blues Clothes in like a black leatherjacket and stuff, and he just did
it as himself or whatever, andthey absolutely loved him and wear this shirt.
The producers were like, we can'thire that guy, and they brought

(48:43):
him in again with a different bunchof kids, and he just hit it
out of the park and the kidswere like, we want that guy.
And then they find they had himput on the shirt and stuff, and
that just sealed the deal. Yeah, and then eventually it's like nah saying
who. Eventually he was like,I feel like I'm living in a swimming
pool because I'm surrounded by blue cgiand I have to get out here.
And then he went into an atticbedroom in his house in Seattle and shot

(49:05):
himself. Right, Oh no,that was Kurt Cobain. But also one
of the Blues Clues conspiracy theories.There are so many of them about what
happened to him is wild. Ifyou read the Wikipedia entry. I remember
looking at him like, I thinkthat's Kurt Cobain, who didn't shoot him
that? Okay, believe that conspiracyout there anyway. Seven twenty two,

(49:28):
I went very long in that segmentover Ross's brush with famedom there international dude,
your Hasselhoff at that point, Ithink for that era, because those
commercials run every ad break every break. You would have been possibly one of
the top one hundred famous people fora couple of years. So but now

(49:52):
you're here and we'll be back.Ross's brush was stardom and Chicago shootings and
all that, but it was thesomething that happened right after the show yesterday
that was getting a whole lot ofpress, and that was whatever MSNBC's Morning
Joe and the Biden administration thought thatthat was gonna be because it clearly wasn't.

(50:15):
And maybe that is what Morning Joewanted. I don't know. I
stopped trying to predict that that doucheis once in needs a long time ago.
After I saw him, I sawhis h his band. You're remember
how ridiculous that looked watching him onthe guitar man, and you just know

(50:35):
that Mika eats it up. Sobut whatever, So Biden calls in.
He's not in studio and they've gothim in I don't know, the situation
room or something, and he's oncamera and he just just from from the
jump Man. He's ready to go. And look the messaging obviously there.

(50:58):
If you're the Biden administration is goingto be you need to you need to
go out in the full throated waythat you have with some of the statements
you've issued, in comments made andthe letter that was sent to congressional leaders,
and be like, I'm your guyunless Jesus says no, like or
the Lord comes down like you saidthe other day. And he went a

(51:19):
step further and he says if youtry, if you cross me, I'll
get you. And I want topoint this out because I saw a bunch
of MSNBC and CNN people going thatyou can't walk that back. That's how
you know he means business. He'sputting them unnoticed. The cynic in me
says, that's the strategy, andthey're all in on it, because that's

(51:40):
how you portray in their mind,how you think you portray competency to hail
Mary and effectiveness that he whipped theDemocratic Caucus into shape. So I think
that by design. I think theysat there, they had all this stategy
sessions, and he said to Pelosiand Schumer and all the rest, and

(52:04):
it's like, look, the onlyway this works because we've done the math
and we realize if I leave andcommonly gets killed, and if she's also
gone, all that war chest isinaccessible. So we're gonna have to stick
with it. But we can't justcome out and be like, yeah,
we decided to stick with what we'redoing. He's got to look like he's
large and in charge and dark Brandon. Does that make sense? Ross,

(52:28):
What do you think of that conspiracy? No? No, no, that's
a conspiracy. I think that's theway I would do it from a calm
standpoint. Make him look like he'she's the man, and the people who
questioned him stepped out of line.I think that's one hundred percent what's going
on here. Yeah, but thething is being perceived as him being a
lunatic. Well, I didn't sayit was playing out because remember, you

(52:49):
know, you could do something assimple as write a note about how to
walk to the podium, which isan actual note on an actual card,
and then he doesn't do it.So a more complex bit of theater would
would require Oh dude, speaking ofconspiram Sorry, I just would be very
short, all right. I sawa conspiracy that the exact thing I'm talking

(53:15):
about was how two our two forefathersof electricity did it. And I know
you're you're a Tesla fan, right. They they argued that the two didn't
hate each other and each other's technology, that they were doing this to get

(53:36):
people to adopt electricity by whatever means. I don't know about that one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Ididn't think so either, but I thought,
okay, all right, I thinkhe had a genius in Nikola Tesla,
Yeah, who just didn't have thebusiness acumen right of Thomas Edison.
And Edison was really good at stealingTesla's stuff, and yeah, electrifying elephants,

(53:57):
and yeah, I mean Tesla isvery sad. We look at his
life like ended up like crazy Town, marrying pigeons and stuff, and yeah,
you had a lightning room. Doyou have a lightning room? I
do not, like, Yeah,it'd be amazing. Yeah, so uh
and don't act like you've never electrifiedan elephant. Dude, We're in showbiz.
That's what you do. So uh. Anyway, I'm sorry. Back

(54:20):
back to Joe Biden. So thatwould be best case scenario, but that
would be a way to run itwhere you could because all you have to
do is give Biden one liners andhe likes those sometimes he even gets them
right. But make him really shortbecause it's an action movie at that point,
and do action movie. Our actionmovies, the action movies of our

(54:42):
childhood. Are they known for deepdialogue? No, Almost every movie is
immensely quotable with three words, fourwords. I'll be back, dude,
I don't have time to bleed.Is very deep? Yes, well,
no, no, no, butit's not so it's not hard to re
member. Right. They want somethingthat's memorable and sticks with you, so

(55:05):
you better get more body bags.I do this all day. The most
complex one that's also one of myfavorites is the unforgiven revenge scene. You
shot an unarmed man. What's therest of it? You should arm himself?
Should armed himself? You know what. That's a good point, sir,
that's a very good point. Ifyou want to decorate your bar with
my friend should arm himself. Ohso, let's see if that's play word.

(55:31):
Tunning is now the forty sixth Presidentof the United States and presumptive Democratic
nominee Joe Biden, calling in tomourning Joe right now, Good morning,
sir, Hey Mika, I'm moreof a presumption I'm going to be a
Democratic nomin baby. Maybe Hey,dude, the genius level troll tweet that

(55:54):
I saw on this was wouldn't itbe wild if Trump is unseated by Biden
and then Trump up on seats Bidenand then Biden realizes in twenty twenty eight
it's his turn. It's some alongthose lines. And it was just people
like didn't know how to deal withit. And I'm like, that is
a good tweet I saw. Itwas a great post from Adam Carolla talking

(56:15):
about the best way to get Bidenout of the race. Yeah, did
you see this? No, He'slike, the best way to get Biden
now is when he starts talking aboutit, be like, oh, I'm
going to win a second term.Just be like, mister president, this
is your second term. Oh that'sa good point. And he's going to
be so confused. He's like,oh, well I did okay, great,
I have no idea. Yeah,you spent fifty over your eight years.

(56:36):
You spent fifty percent of your predecessors. And he can run to out
that nobody will fact check it.No, great, dude, You know
what I did? Fall down theAdam Carolla interviewing newsom rabbit hole. I
think they have a whole like viewedbeef going back to years and Corolla just
destroys him. It's amazing. Butthat's another thing for another day. All

(56:59):
Right, he almost got Mika's nameMeekan. I don't know what he called
her Megan. That would have beenfunnier if you called her Megan. But
whatever, here we go. Let'sget into the American public is not going
to move away from me as anaverage voter. And again, I'm here
for two readers, Pale one torebuild the economy for hard working, middle

(57:21):
class people. Give everybody a shot. That's a straight shot. Everybody gets
a fair chance. Number one,number two. Number always talk about how
I don't have the black support.Come on, give me a break,
come with me. Why why dude, it's all of the holy goody one
lighters. I'm right, Powell tosound. He sounds so angry, and

(57:45):
that's going together. It's a thing, right, that's a when you have
dementia, you have these angry outburstmoments like he's trying to sound strong,
but he sounds yes, he soundsmean. Okay, you know what,
you're a boat man, Stay inthe boat. I don't need you.
Did you get into that. That'sone of the lesser known, but a
good one. Yes, he's coming. I'm telling you it's not working out

(58:06):
how you would want it to workout for the scenario. But if I
feel like I'm right here, I'mgetting so frustrated. But by the leap,
now, I'm not talking about youguys, but a boy, the
elap, Why are you not talkingabout them? They are clearly at those
cocktail parties that you're referring to theparty who they know so much more.
But any of these guys, Idon't think I should run against me announce

(58:30):
the president, challenge man the convention. Okay, well, and that's easy
enough to say. And who knowsmaybe that some of the donors are in
on it, where they're just like, look, I'll not abandon you if
the polling turns around with this strategy. I'm curious. Is that an illusion?
Also? Oh, by the way, this is the continuation of the

(58:51):
stupid but wildly entertaining golf back andforth with Biden and Trump, which started
with Trump carry his bags and thenBiden's like, let's go to the driving
range and I don't even know wherewe are. I'm curious is that an
illusion? Also? To Donald Trump? And the fact that Democrats, you
believe, may now be doing thesame thing that Donald Trump tried to do

(59:12):
in twenty twenty, and that isoverthrow the popular will of Democratic voters.
Look, Democrats, Joe, letme say it this way. Read.
And I've been out on the roadso much all over the country. And
while Trump is riding around in thegolf cart, filling out his golf cart
before the golf cart, before youeven hit the ball, he hadn't been

(59:34):
anywhere in ten days. I've beenall over the country. Would you hold
up well? Anyway? So he'sfilling out the golf cart with the card,
but the cart before there was somethingelse. He said. Two.
One time is Donald Trump? Heplays golfers, rides around in the cart.
Yeah. Yeah, I've played likeI've played on when I was younger,
I'd walked course because I was cheap. But and there are courses I've

(59:58):
played in my adulthood where if yougo over the UK or Ireland, there's
no carts on a lot of thosecourses. That being said, if I'm
playing with the carts, you knowwhat, I'm in a cart, Especially
when the mountain courses I like toplay in North Carolina, you would not
survive. I probably wouldn't either,all Right, This is. There's so
much more. We'll get to allthat. Race Stagic is here. He's

(01:00:21):
got his own one liners like,oh dude, they have there's we have
conspiracy theories, but there's a weatherconspiracy theory. You familiar with the barrel?
I hate that name, conspiracy theory? I am not what is the
barrel? Conspiracy? Lay over theprojected path of Beryl Right that run from
what Texas up to the Great Lakesor I guess towards New York. Right,

(01:00:45):
I can't, I don't remember rightword it ends, but that that
curvature, it follows the path oftotality from the alert. Not totality,
but the the the best the pathof the eclipse. Oh how about that?
Yeah? And people are trying toexplain it's the rotation of the earth
or weather cycle. Right, I'mlike, I don't think the sun is

(01:01:06):
yeah, I don't. Yeah,don't these people know that sometimes things just
it's no atypical. They don't.They don't know because money is produced by
the heart machine and the other oneis the sun. So ah, I
got you, man, I'm gonnawrite this, write that that's good,
that's rich, that's good stuff rightthere. Yeah, you can work it
next time. Yeah, more goodstuff. Well, I don't have anything

(01:01:30):
short term that's gonna break the heat. Uh. Later in the week,
maybe we get a front in herethat might take it down just a little
bit. Now most of us heatadvisory, most of the tryad all the
triangle. Temperatures today a little bitnineties, but it's gonna feel over one
hundred, between one hundred and aboutone ten depends on where you are the
hottest numbers around the triangle. Soanother hot day, isolated storms really not

(01:01:52):
gonna get much relief. But ifyou do get rain, you'll drop ten
to fifteen degrees, and if it'slater in the day, you may stay
there. But if it's not tosee trap back up again. More isolated
storms tomorrow, just as hot.And as we get the Thursday, I'm
probably gonna see upper eighties of theTriad triangle, probably the low nineties if
you showers thunderstorms coming in, probablythe best chance of rainy Thursday and on
into Fridays. The rain chances aregoing up with this front coming on in,

(01:02:15):
so I'll maybe some relief as temperaturesby Friday may only be in the
low to mid eighties. But that'smore a function of clouds and the rain
chances a barrel depression, it becomesextra tropical, it'll have that cold front
attached to it, so limited impactsthere. Most of the tropical Atlantics now
quiet. A couple of waves,but nothing over the next seven days.

(01:02:37):
As it looks like we're going intoa little bit of a low maybe for
the next couple of weeks, butshould pick back up the late July and
as we get into August. Okay, appreciate it, sir, thank you.
Okay, there you go. Race, excuse me, Race staging from
the Weather Channel. We're gonna getthrough this byden audio on the next segment
because at eight oh five, SenatorTed Bud's going to join us. That's

(01:02:59):
today, right, that's what youtext. My brain is just cooked.
So yeah, we're gonna we're gonnachat with uh We're gonna chat with Bud
and uh I there's there's just enoughof the Joe Biden audio to talk to
him about. But we'll get toa few other things. Did he send
the pre approved questions? Do wehave those that I have to ask?
Did he get those over to us? Oh? Man, that whole thing

(01:03:22):
anyway, we'll get into all ofit coming up case O Day Radio program.
My theory is, and I Ithe more I listen, the more
I'm I'm absolutely correct. I thinkthat this whole, this whole thing,
this stunt where there's just like JoeBiden's coming out and he's just he's burning
bridges. How dare you you tryme? You will not succeed. Come

(01:03:43):
challenge me? What are you doingpal all of that crap. I think
that that is the strategy, andthey're all in on it because they realize
just coming out and then running thenumbers going we can't lose our war chest
or this because of Kamala. Theonly good option is to lean into where
we are. And so they said, all right, Biden, come out
is not only an action, startkick ass, take names, bubble gum

(01:04:04):
this I'm all out of bubble youknow, whatever you got to do,
and then if that works, maybeit will start turning the polls around.
And it's not working, not atall. He's not in this interview.
How can you assure the American peoplethat you won't have another night like the
one you did in Atlanta? Bookat my career and not had many of

(01:04:29):
those nights ross do we have anyin the system? And the system exploded
with a terrible night and I reallyregret it happened. But the fact of
the matter is, how can youassure you're going to be on you know
faith that can interview on your wayto go to you know work tomorrow?

(01:04:49):
Age Age wasn't Did he just threatento kill Mika? I can do?
You know, let's super bizarre,so weird, Billy. How do you
know you're not going to die ina bus accident going to work tomorrow?
Oh yeah, how do you knowyour brake lines were cut in the parking
lot ten minutes ago? The ideaI'm Too Old created over fifteen million jobs,

(01:05:14):
twenty one women and swords for theACA, beat pharma, relieve student
dead for five minion people, firstblack woman in the court. So I
think I had a significant, significantrun. And that's how I'd measure me.
He measure me what I've done.And by the way, in terms
of my neurological capacity, I hada physical neurological physical as well. In

(01:05:36):
February, it's released. I releasedall my records all, okay, I
did because I remember that you're like, you won't and then but if you
did. I also remember the media. Remember Trump's came out, and it's
like he's two twenty and they're justlike, you can't trust anything. I'm
curious where that reaction's going to.The bottom line here is that we're not

(01:05:59):
going anywhere. I am not goinganywhere. I wouldn't be running if I
didn't absolutely believe that I am thebest candidate to beat down on something.
Twenty twenty four, we had ademocratic nominating process where the voters spoke clearly.
I want fourteen million of those votes, et cetera. So I just
want I not only believe that fromthe beginning, but I wanted to reassert

(01:06:21):
and demonstrate this too, and I'mgoing to be doing that all through this
week and from here on. Okay, all right, I have a question
Ross now, listening to all ofthat, are you thinking, Rambo the
Predator? Are you thinking I'm thinkingthe big boy presser this week is going
to be a complete debacleing nightmare forhis campid. We're going to give on

(01:06:42):
historic levels. Give yourself the hiccups, because it is time to welcome in
Senator Ted budd he joins us now, and Senator Glad to have you,
but I got some bad news.Man, We're not Oh no, what's
up. We can't do this.Your office did not send me the pre
proof questions list, so I,yeah, hang on, let me,

(01:07:02):
Uh, you can just enter himinto the teleprompter. We should be fine.
Oh yeah, no, just untilit hits pause for effect and then
you and then I say, yes, I know your listeners can't see my
teleprompter right now, uh to guidethis conversation. But believe me, that's
so wild man, like because onin my line of work and in your

(01:07:24):
line of work, we both knowthat that happens from a suggested standpoint.
Now I would be clear, youroffice has never said anything like that.
So but like it happens, andit's you know, it's a polite suggestion,
and sometimes it's helpful, right becausewhen I'm interviewing somebody, when I

(01:07:45):
used to interview Dan Forrest all thetime, I wouldn't tell him we're going
to talk about. But if Ihad something that was very intricate that I
wanted to ask about, I mightgive him a heads up on the general
topic, as I would do toyou, be like, hey, I
really want to dig into this particularappropriation thing or whatever it is. But
for the most part, we're justflying by the seat of our pants.
And that's good. That's honest conversationto the extent that we don't know where

(01:08:09):
it's going to go, and hopefullyeverybody's honest, and that's what I like.
But it sounds like they took ita step further than that. Is
what is the hubbub from? Youknow, inside the thing? How often
does this happen? Well, Imean, look, he's lived on the
telepropter since twenty one at least chance. You know, during the campaign it

(01:08:30):
was very scripted. His early speechesduring the campaign of twenty twenty, during
the throes of COVID, he wouldbe looking at a giant screen in the
back of the audience. Some ofthose had questions on it. So it's
it's only gotten worse and we're seeingthe worst of it right now. The
real question is it's not just ishe competent to run for the next one

(01:08:53):
hundred and twenty days to the election, it's like, if he can't run,
can he even govern? And we'veseen the results of it. And
then the other question is, andPresident Trump will need to answer this and
he'll do a great job of it. Is it's the ideas. Let's say
you switch it out for Kamala.The problem doesn't get any better for our
country. It's not that we've nowtaken a fairly coherent person or into hear

(01:09:16):
and switched them out with somebody else. We have really bad ideas on the
left and the Democrat Party that aremaking life hard for not just us here
in North Carolina, but around ourwhole country. It's making us weak,
open borders, runaway spending, that'sdriving inflation. So the problem isn't solved.
But then swatch switching out Joe Biden. No, you know, we're

(01:09:36):
speaking more to the strategy of things, and you're right, these are these
are people can get hung up onthat, like I am, I am,
this is this is where I'm at. I watched the whole you know
this this purported re emergence of youknow, dark Brandon where he's like,
you know, he's saying stuff hecan't walk back to people who allies.

(01:09:57):
How dare you question me? I'lldo whatever I try me pal right,
And he's saying this stuff and it'smeant to look aggressive. In my theory
is they're all in on it becausethey realize Kamala's garbage and they can't keep
their money if if somebody else.And so you don't just come out and
go, yeah, I know,we're gonna stick with him, like it
sounds even remotely reluctant. You gotto let him come out like an action

(01:10:19):
hero. And obviously he can't pullthat strategy off. Am I just am
am I in conspiracy Zone or youwork with political consultants. That actually seems
logical to me. Unfortunately, youguys got to be able to get it
done. I mean, their worldgoes away when when Joe Biden quits.
So there's so's there's a small circlethat he's listening to. It's Jill,

(01:10:42):
it's Hunter. It's a couple offolks that have been with them, who
knows since probably the early nineteen seventies. He's been there over fifty years in
this role. And so he hadhe's got no other life. Part of
the benefit, part about what makesyou great on radio or me as a
US center do stuff other than whatwe do in our day jobs, you
know, business. I'm sorry,So he can't do anything else, and

(01:11:13):
their life is propped up by himand so they're going to double down until
they're absolutely forced out of that job. You know what, I'm sorry,
I got to fact check you.He's been a flanker back, a civil
rights advocate, some other position thatI haven't heard of in one hundred years,
playing another sport, A lifeguard,right, A lawyer. He's a

(01:11:34):
lawyer dressing down corn pop, youknow, and you got to remember that.
Yeah, absolutely, that's tough stuff. Man. When you grow up
in a primarily Puerto Rican, Jewish, Greek neighbor Black neighborhood, and then
whatever else he adds, you getsome life experience. A right, let
me be a little more serious here. So you saw that iteration of whatever

(01:11:57):
that was. Right after my showyesterday, he went on, he went
on mourning Joe, and you know, he hit the high notes that he
always does, fifteen million jobs created. We all know what that actually means
post COVID and and all the rest. So but he really they like,
they didn't get into any of thefuture with him, And I think that's
very telling for what you kind ofindicated, right, because it comes down

(01:12:19):
to ideas and the one of thedebates right now is the Republican evil Republicans
they want a law that says thatpeople who are not citizens can't vote at
the federal level. And then theDemocrats run out and they say, no,
there already is a law. Butif there is a law, it

(01:12:40):
and what is going on? Helpme put this to rest. If there
is a law, why are Republicansdoing it? If there isn't a law,
why would Democrats oppose it? Oris it a scenario where there's a
law but enforcement and action within thelaw and interpretation there not enforcing it.
So there needs to be a betterlaw. Where are we at? Yeah,

(01:13:03):
I think he nailed it on thatlast one. Casey is there are
laws, they are vague, theyare not being enforced, and particularly with
those that are inserted at local levelelections, and now we're seeing those move
out to certain states, more bluestates or where there's an election board for
that state, not being enforced.So that's the problem. So we want

(01:13:23):
to give absolute clarity. We haveseveral pieces of legislation I think every one
of which I've either helped lead orco sponsor. I don't have those in
front of me right now, butthose are those are some awesome pieces of
clarifying legislation that casey should be bipartisan. But unfortunately the Democrats are saying this
is extremists, they're racist, thatthey throw out the old usual things,

(01:13:44):
that they try to throw a lotof dust in the air and confuse the
situation. We're like, no,we want everyone's vote to actually count,
and we don't think that non citizensshould be voting, and particularly those that
are here illegal. Anyone that's nota usc doesn't need to be voting.
So we're just clarifying those things thatwould lead to enforcement. And people will
go, well, how does somebodywho's who's here illegally or at the very

(01:14:08):
least not as how do they vote? And the way that their camels camel's
nose under the tent with this thingis they'll say it's not fair for parents
in a school district whose kids attendthe school regardless of status, that they
have no say in their child's education. And it's and and so that's how
they're doing it. They're they're startingat the very local level and making these

(01:14:30):
common sense please. But you know, Senator, I'm a slippery slope guy,
and and I think that the longgame's going on here and it's not
that long really as quickly as it'sprogressing. Yeah, absolutely, And I
think that started in San Francisco withschool boards. As many many bad ideas
do I start out there. Soyou're right, it's local election. It
goes with the motor voter, theautomatic voter registration that doesn't have the underlying

(01:14:56):
identifications and proof of the birth certificate, Kate and citizenship, so it bypasses
a lot of that and lets themget a toe hold in that they'll begin
moving that to other elections. Sothat's part of the long game, I
believe. Okay, let me askyou a question. It's not is more
of an introspective question. Could youdo I get your press releases with everybody
else some of our We have somemembers of Congress and folks that have dealt

(01:15:19):
with over the year that I don'tknow if they've ever signed their name to
anything, but they're there and youprobably could name a few. You have
a lot of stuff. So whenyou guys are putting a bill together post
Chevron, like, does that changestuff dramatically? Because like knowing that some
bureaucrats going to misinterpret what you wrotepreviously had to be really frustrating. Does

(01:15:45):
it change how you do stuff?I mean, what's how does that work?
I think post Chevron. First ofall, this it has been since
the nineteen eighties, since that casefirst came out. Yeah, it has
been the fox guarding the Henhouse.When there's a question about an administrative ruling,
it's up to the administration and theagency to determine what they think about

(01:16:11):
the ruling. So that is completelywrong. And when I talk to small
business owners and people that are outthere creating jobs, I go, you
know what, you've got a lotof frustrations with Washington. I get it,
and I have those same frustrations becauselook, I'm a small business owner
as well, both sides of thepaycheck. I get it. But the
problems that you're having out there arenot mostly laws that have been passed by

(01:16:33):
Congress. It's the regulations out there, and that's stuff that we never voted
on. A House, never votedon it, send it, never voted
on it. It's some unelected bureaucratthat has created the friction that you're having
to deal with every day to justtry to earn a living. And so
I think Chevron is a landmark casethat as well as the West Virginia case

(01:16:56):
that came out last year will bejust so positive, especially with an administration
Donald Trump. But in the worstcase scenario, it helps us. It
really puts handcuffs on the administration inthe future and gives Article one, which
is the House in the Senate ofthe Constitution, the power that it used
to. They gave away so muchpower here back to the administration and that's

(01:17:19):
why you've seen these growth of theseagencies over the last decades. But I
think Chevron and some of these otherrulings pull a lot of that back,
and that's great for our country.Well, and that is that's I'm glad
you went in that direction because that'smy next question. It's going to take
time, right and you're going tothe House going to be there's going to
have to be more cases. Butnow they're going to have this last decision

(01:17:41):
as case laws. So maybe itspeeds stuff up, but you know that
jam and stuff up in court foryears is a popular strategy, and they're
going to fight tooth and nail onthis. So do you start to see
immedia change and is it? Imean, I understand that if an agency
has far less to do, youstill got to if you, if you

(01:18:04):
one day run for president, goI'm going to cut the EPA's number of
employees by fifteen percent. They're goingto lose their mind even if they have
fifteen percent less work. You understandthat. You know this once there's more,
that will never be less, iswhat a lot of voters think happen.
So how committed are Republicans to rightsizing agencies as these changes unfold?

(01:18:28):
Oh? Huge? And I thinkthere's ways you can do it. You
can do hiring freezes that you know, allows the top line numbers of employees
to begin to actify without you know, laying folks off. You can do
that. You can you can actuallyship them to other needs, you know,
not goodness. There's what the greatthing is is you create a strong
economy under a Republican Donald Trump.And there's so much need out there that

(01:18:51):
these places, these folks that areleaving the federal government they got other places,
will go. Now they may feelentitled to these federal jobs, nobody's
entitled to any job. I'm notentitled with this job. We got to.
I mean, I think there's goingto be a lot of fights over
how we do this, but Ithink we can This will be certainly a
way to freeze agency growth, whichhas been a huge problem for our economy

(01:19:15):
and for job creators out there overthe last several decades. I would encourage
that if any of you are goingto talk about agencies, you would cut
and if you have a list ofthree, you remember all three if forever
on stage, Okay, I'll justsay several. Yeah, they'll do the
Governor zoo lander excuse me, theRick Perry thing. We call them governor
zoo landers. So I think that'shilarious. All right, So we go

(01:19:38):
through that. I mean, there'sso much. I just have a few
minutes, so you can hang outfor about three four minutes. I'm not
going to go to break. Ijust have a few more questions. I
just want to make sure because longerthan usual, as I'm sitting there and
I'm going through the Donald Trump stuffyesterday, there is a definitive set of
opinions on what the rnc's platform rightand the Trump's contract with America, and

(01:20:02):
there's there are some folks that arewould be the religious side of that who
don't feel that they're being represented.I'm not going to say that it's all
of them, but there's a fewwho make a lot of noise. When
you look at that and you seewhat's on there, do you think there's
things that should have been on there? Do you think it's correct? Do
you think it's too much? Whereare you at well? When it comes

(01:20:26):
through. I've got a sixteen pageplatform here in front of me that the
RNC released yesterday. I haven't readevery one of them, but I like
they're pushing the life as you areabsolutely essential to me and I imagine most
of your listeners out there. Butwhat they're doing is they're really honoring Roe
V. Wade and saying this isreally up to the states. I think,

(01:20:46):
let's remember that Donald Trump is notthe only candidate on the ticket.
He and his vice president. We'vegot folks from governor, We've got all
these state house, state Senate races, all these Council of States, all
these matter. So I would say, let's take the focus of what they're
looking at and let's push let's makesure we are focusing on these state and
downballot elections, which are in theaggregate just as important as who's president.

(01:21:11):
So I would say, let's let'smake sure we understand what Rob Waite did,
and that's push things back to thestate. Therefore, we also need
to focus on those who are electedto state level offices. Yeah, no,
no, you and I are onthe same page, which, in
my mind, the way that youdeal with that is you literally include an
item say uh, you know,and you say, thanks to this court

(01:21:31):
ruling, this is now a state'sissue. So let's concentrate our efforts there.
And I think they could have donethat, but they didn't, and
that's I think what had people kindof curious. But I think it's a
fair compromise because it's correct. Youcan't lose sight of the fact that this
is a state's issue, as manyother things should be. Uh, and
hopefully we'll be in the future.Yeah, the issue doesn't change in your

(01:21:55):
in your mind and your heart andyour personal convictions. You just have to
focus on a different office to getthose results. And then, finally,
did you see the video of thatF the F thirty five, the new
one hovering over Miami Beach yesterday?No, I did not. I Can
I borrow one? You got?You got pull you got the right committees?

(01:22:15):
Can I borrow They're only a singleseater? Otherwise we both could go
up. Well, then we'll bewe'll borrow three because the Ross is gonna
want to go so okay, allright, all right, well we'll work
on that. All right. Youjust go ahead and get back to me
whenever you got that, and thenfrom from here on out you can send
your questions. All right, we'llstrike a Boustian deal. Well do you
remember the kid that saved up allthose Petsy points and one that got there?

(01:22:35):
Right? Oh? Go on Netflix, Yeah, up your soft dream
points. Yeah, go on Netflix. There is a an amazing documentary.
All I got a roll. Thankyou so much, Senator, I do
appreciate it. See ye, allright there you go. Look at that
ross. We're all going we're allgoing flying today. Probably not. I
don't think that's going to pan out. Any who are break that'll pan out?

(01:22:57):
Hang on. And it was SenatorChadowy, Senator Ted Buddy. It
was the you know, politicians arelike guys in radio. We just you
know, there's one hundred other thingswe could do. If you ask a
radio dude what happens if you getfired? It's one are the answers fast
food? Like it doesn't mean that'swhere they're destined for but ross you've ever

(01:23:21):
seen a radio guy who had confidencethat he'd be fine if he lost his
gig. I haven't no note atall. No, it's it's dooming gloom
and again a lot of times itgoes over. I think why politicians think
that, And I'm again, I'mjust give it to you straight. It's
time you just pick it on budis because if you're a politician and and

(01:23:43):
you lose your I can't tell youthe number. And by the way,
there's some radio guys we're very resentfulof this. I will judge it on
a case by case basis, butthere's a lot of there's a lot of
talk radio gigs that are held byguys who did one under two terms in
the House and and then got blownout and they go back to Elgin,

(01:24:04):
Illinois or we you know, wherever, whatever mid market it is, and
based on their name recognition, theyhire that person, and then that person,
and then that person is. Theirshow is nothing but them interviewing their
buddies. Right, eventually you turninto that anti trumper idiot. What's his
I can't remember what the guy's nameis because I purged it from my memory

(01:24:27):
up there run around now endorsing Biden. You're like, I'm a Republican.
You all don't know stuff at all. Radio guys are just like, I
don't know, probably probably going saltputin and then take an elevator to the
twentieth floor. I don't know.I mean you, I do have my
safety net though, you know,falls through. I'm gonna go into the

(01:24:48):
spop thing no that past yeah,No, theatrical jousting, theatrical shousing.
Yeah, like medieval times. Canyou ride a horse? I cannot.
I could, but I'm a I'ma quick learner. Yeah, I could
teach you. I could teach becauseI used to have to. We get
guys that come out of the mostmost guys are going to do a hunting

(01:25:11):
trip that actually evolves horses, generallyfor an elk trip like that. They're
going to try to have some Butyou know, I've had people come out
that I know and my and mything was very clear. It was a
list of five things don't if youdo them, I can't protect you.
And then you know, basic skillslike this is where your feet go?
Maybe I want to kind of youwant to you want to elevate a little

(01:25:34):
off the saddle, the horse ring, rub against stuff. It's not him
trying to kill you, it's himscratching sometimes, just little stuff. I'm
not going to say. You know, any experience I've been on you know,
you go to the state fair andthey have the ponies that go in
the circle. Yeah, I've beenthat's attached to something. So but I
do see. But the reason Ihave an advantage is already have the armor

(01:25:56):
and the the weaponry. Yes,no, you're, you're, you're,
You're ninety percent of the way there. You just need the horse. So
yeah, it's really simple stuff andyou're not gonna be violating this. Like
the big thing. I'm like,if you fire around off this horse,
you might die. This is nota Western None of these horses you can

(01:26:17):
shoot off. Well, there wasone you could because he was basically deaf.
But I'm not gonna tell him thathorses that you can fire a pistol
or a rifle off of, yousee in the movies, have an incredible
amount of graining. This is whyI'm going to like the Medieval times route,
because yes, crossbow is different thansay like rooster cogbirds. Yes exactly.

(01:26:38):
So I think you're gonna be inthe clear there. And then the
other thing is I would tell themthese are some of the horses, and
these are from more experience. Isaid, these are not These are not
galloping through the perry through the prairietrying to outrun Pat Garrett horse. So
if you keep giving him spur andhe's not going, then that's your that's

(01:27:00):
your max speed. You've hit Andif you keep doing it, he's gonna
dump you so fast. And doyou know the most expensive insurance that you
have to hold if you're gonna dooutfitting or hunting is not for the guns
or the bears. It's for thehorses. That's where the injuries happened.
So you ever hear the story abouthow Clint Eastwood why he's so quiet on
set? You've heard this? Yeah, I have heard this, but go

(01:27:24):
ahelf. Yeah no, So he'sbeen there. I can't remember what movie
he was on, but the actorswere asking him. There was super weird
because most directors right are like actionand so Clinton Eastwood was the director and
there were some scene in some cityand every time he would say action,
he would he would whisper it andthey'd be like, oh, my god,
are we supposed to go now?Now? Okay, we're gonna go
now. And the reason he whisperedit is because he started off on his

(01:27:45):
set with horses. Yes, soyou didn't want to yell right to get
the horses all crazy? Yep.Yeah, I joke about how I hate
horses, and it's the part whereyou're young and you have to care for
a bunch of them, but alsowhere you have to break them or maintain
ones that are partially broke, andit's just it seems a very thankless thing.

(01:28:06):
So just to be clear in myposition, but every year somebody they
wouldn't necessarily shoot off of a horse. So the one guy did and he
broke his leg and two ribs,I believe, and he was mad at
us. But they would shoot nearthe horse, and because I tell him,
you don't shoot off of it anddon't use the saddle as arrest,
and most people would abide by it. But I can. I can totally

(01:28:29):
teach you how to do that,man, but I'm I want the F
thirty five stuff first, so I'vekind of moved on, So we'll see
if the Senator comes up with that. But yeah, man, there's no
gigs, the fallback gigs for politiciansare endless. You know, look at
Roy Cooper, but who by theway, he just vetoed his one hundred
and one hundred and first bill andat first I thought he's just an idiot,

(01:28:53):
but then I realized it's a record. He is setting a bar so
high he will not be eclipsed.And then I saw people go, why
don't you just do one hundred right? Well, one, it limits his
options and two did you see theBernie Mac movie? You can't end on
a round number in case mister asteriskshows up and now you're Bernie Mac trying

(01:29:14):
to get a hit. What wasthat movie? Mister three thousand? Know
why? That just popped into myhead. And but they were talking about,
you know, there's a lot ofspeculation. The Cooper was even floating
his name as somebody who might bea vice president if Kamala moves over,
or potentially if they're both out assomebody and I don't understand that. But

(01:29:39):
yeah, politicians have a little fewmore options because if not, then they
just they can walk into a lobbyinggig. Most I should say most of
the lobbyists I've been around some groupsof lobbyists and a lot of people there
have held public office, and that'syou know, those relationships. There is
value there, but also it lookspretty scummy to a lot of people because

(01:30:00):
then it's just you know, it'sjust a boys club, so to speak
at that point. So I don'tknow. And by the way, if
Ray Cooper does go to Washington andthey need a kid flipper offer, then
his wife can have a job.So ross did I tell you I almost
became a kid flipper offer before Iwas gonna, before I turned the dream
to radio. I wanted. Iwanted to be the best kid flipper offer

(01:30:24):
to ever emerge. I recall youmentioning that, like the first day it
might have been the interview process here, I think, first, yeah,
I was, I would not.Now you're not flipping kids like flipping houses.
Or you get like one who's allhe's got crubs, crumbs and jelly
all over, right, and thenyou give him some roids and he's like

(01:30:44):
super jacked. Yeah, you cleanhis face and then you're like, ah,
look at this kid down and theyprofit. Yeah. No, I
mean like kid where you flip themoff and then that's it because that's what
she did, but it technically wasa family with kids, but does that
matter? But yeah, no,I wanted to be the best kid flipper
offer in the West, and unfortunatelyI had to do the radio thing.

(01:31:05):
But what are you gonna do?You can dream raised agic from the weather
channel. Did you ever want tobe a kid flipper offer instead of a
weather guy? Or oh yo,yeah, yo yo. Do you ever
want to be a kid flipper offerinstead of a weather guy? Or what?
Oh wow? No? Yeah,you just flip kids off all day
man? Because the person who no, no, no, I said,

(01:31:27):
actually I I had a confession,and initially I want to be a kid
flipper offer. Uh and and thenI was forced into the radio. So
here you are. The rest ishistory. Yeah, blew out my blew
out my knee, and that wasit. No pros for me. I
blew out my middle finger. Itwas yeah, flip kids off. No,

(01:31:51):
he's never recovered. It's said,yeah, no, I the cross
off and he laughs and and itjust flips the whole thing on me.
It's it's it's just it's so bad. Yeah, I'm flipping it right now.
Yeah, well yeah, I appreciatethat. Yeah, yeah, well
all right, you're probably going toa lot of people. Probably not.
Yeah, we may later in theweek there could be a front getting in

(01:32:14):
here that'll be attached to what's leftof Barrel, which will be a depression.
And I don't know. I thinkas soon as we get into maybe
some dryer air, especially central partsof the state and west, the humidity
is going to come back and lingeringrain in the forecast end of the week,
as we may see some of themoisture come up from the south rather
than from the northwest, which iswhere Barrel will pass. So this afternoon

(01:32:36):
it's just isolated stuff, shower,thunderstorm here and there. It's more about
the heat and humidity a little bitnineties, with heat and diseased between as
high as one oh five to maybeone ten for the Triangle Triad, not
quite that hobbit, still above onehundred and most of the Triad actually and
the heat advisory also into the mountainsno heat advisory now the high human one

(01:32:57):
tomorrow a little bit nineties again,feeling about one on average, and then
we'll see the rain chances go onceagain fairly low, but then they'll creep
up as we look ahead toward Thursdayand Friday with rain and thunderstorms around,
especially the further east you go.This could be a week lower disturbance coming
out up the coast, which maybring into some better chances brain, which
could keep temperatures down into the mideighties by Friday. So it's not that

(01:33:20):
we're going to lose the humidity,but we may lose some of the extreme
air temperatures. But I really don'tsee much relief here over the next few
days and for the rest of theweek. But the rain chance is going
up and needed rain after the droughtconditions now that have developed across the state.
Okay, thank you, sir,do appreciate it. Have a good
one. Yep, Yeah, no, Ross, you got so bad after

(01:33:40):
he blew out my middle finger.Now all I do, and it's pure
amateur animal flipp er offer. Ijust I couldn't compete, and mostly just
my neighbour's dog, which who's insane, both of them, the dog and
the neighbor. I know you're shocked, and we'll never shut up. Gotta
I'm going all al Bundy here man, So we'll take a break. Be

(01:34:01):
right back, and Jeff Bellinger fromBloomberg News is not going to know what
to do with all this time?What's up there? I'll do my best.
Good morning, Casey. Stock startedthe week with a mixed session.
The Nasdaq was up three tenths percentyesterday. The S and P five hundred
closed a tenth of a percent higher. Both indexes settled at record highs.
The Dow closed down a tenth ofa percent. Looks like that pattern could

(01:34:26):
continue this morning. S and Pfutures are up nine points, Nasdaq futures
are up fifty seven. Dow futuresare down three. Investors maybe a little
bit wary about Paramount globals agreement tomerge with Skydance Media. Paramount shares fell

before the Senate Banking Committee to talkabout interest rates and other monetary issues.
He'll be back on Capitol Hill tomorrow. He'll brief the House Financial Services Committee.
Small business owners little more upbeat.Last month, the National Federation of
Independent Business sentiment index rose more thanexpected. In June, the NFIB's polling

(01:35:14):
found there's still some pessimism about theoutlook for business conditions, but the share
of firms expecting the economy to worsenis the smallest in three years. A
lot of Americans charged up their creditcards in May. The federal reserves as
consumer borrowing rose by nearly eleven anda half billion dollars for the month.
That was a much bigger than expectedincrease, the biggest increase in the three

(01:35:35):
months. The Federal Aviation Administration hasordered airlines to inspect the oxygen generators on
more than twenty six hundred Boeing seventhirty seven jets. The agency has received
a lot of reports about the generatorsslipping out of position that could prevent them
from operating properly and providing oxygen inan emergency, and the case of former

mend fences with retailers. Casey,I have his Damn the Torpedoes album.

as exciting, all right, Well, thank you appreciate it. Okay.

amazing. I would ask him tosign that album, just to see if
he'd do it. I'd be like, hey, hey, Tom Petty's Tom
Petty. What do you want?All right, thank you? So,
