Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Man, we got to talk abouttiming this morning. And when I say
timing, I mean timing of Uis kind of a running theme. It's
gonna be timing of several stories.Sorry, I screw with my mic this
morning because it has for some reasonit has not sounded the same. It
sounds the same, but now Igot it out of position. There we
go, all right, timing ofcertain stories, whether it is very politically

(00:24):
suspect, which we'll get to withsomething CBS News I saw from them this
morning, or the Washington Post ifyou haven't seen the Washington Post. Boy,
oh boy, we we got totalk about something. And I don't

(00:47):
think I mean, I understand whythey chose to piggyback something, but they
didn't really think how this was gonnaland. As you are probably aware,
former Oaklaw Oklahoma. I was gonnasay, Kansas, Oklahoma Senator James Inhoff
has passed away. Now I haveon this show lightly made fun of in

(01:11):
Hoff before as a callback, andyou don't realize I'm doing it because I
never use his name, but Iuse rather what he did as an example
of something that annoys me. Itdoesn't annoy everybody. It's just a little
pet peeve of mine. You knowhow I'll be talking to a politician or
about a politician, and I'm like, why do you guys do the stupid
stunts? You know, like theDemocrat who brought in the KFC bucket because

(01:38):
you wanted to point out that hedidn't like Chick fil A. The irony
of course being you just don't geta bucket of chicken at one but whatever,
So that's a stunt and it's stupid. And James N. Hoff had
one of the other ones that Imentioned. It was February, Washington,
DC, and he had like hehad like a cooler bag and in it

(02:05):
he had had I'm sure, wellmaybe he went and got it. I
don't know. He or one ofhis staff went outside where there's snow in
February, which, if I'm correct, February is still the snowiest month of
the year. I don't know ifit is in the DC area, but
in many places in the United States, it's not December, late Christmas any

(02:27):
of that. It's late January earlyFebruary in most places. Made a snowball,
brought it to the Senate Chamber andkind of threw He didn't throw it
at anybody. But he's just likehe kind of threw it and went,
ah, tell me global warming.Tell me about global warming some more.

(02:51):
You know how I feel about it. Now I'm not here to sit here,
and you know how I feel aboutit. It's in the past.
It's just an example that's used.So he assed away, And of course
the headlines read former Senator in hafprolific climate denier, which that was not
in Hast's position. His position wasthe fact that man doesn't have the ability

(03:17):
to exert the level of change thathis Democratic colleagues claim that it does,
all right. That was in Hast'sposition, not that there's not change within
the climate, not that there hasbeen you know, cycles throughout history.

(03:42):
Was he was a proponent of moreresearch into the way in which the sun
is able to impact things, whichat the time people were kind of laughing
at. But now even amongst thosewho think man does have a significant impact
on climate, they also recognize thatso does the sun, and in many

(04:03):
cases it's baked into the the alarmsbeing sounded, you know, mass coronal
ejection and more oil drilling, andyou'll see stories like that. So that
was in Hoff's position, But youknow how it is a Republican dies and
it's like, you know, thewitch is dead and an actual terrorist dies

(04:28):
and we're going to talk about austerescholars. Okay, that's not new,
But to piggyback on that, theWashington Post decided to go ahead and take
it a little step further. Seethe Washington Post fifty three years ago.

(04:50):
Yesterday, on the very same daythat Jim Enhoff passed, sounded the alarm
on a disaster new ice age thatis at the time would be fifty to
sixty years away. So we're insideof that window and we have seven years

(05:11):
to go. Well, as partof it, they updated that not to
say, you know this, yeah, maybe we were a little rash,
a little harsh, here's the newerinformation. Instead, instead they pointed out
that the threat of a disastrous newice age at any moment remains. So

(05:36):
that's a long way of me sayingthat at any point today, you could,
like Ross, when you're driving homethis morning up to Old Wake Forest,
you might be looking ahead, doyou you know, say you're on
one, you drive on one atall. I know you try to avoid
no, I avoid it completely,all right, So you're on whatever road

(05:56):
you use falls and news or whatever, and so you're you're you're headed north
and then all of a sudden youlook up ahead and you're like, what
is that a car broken? Isthat a big white car broken? And
it's a polar bear, and youjust you don't expect a polar bear.
It's like the Spanish inquisition man,how am I going to get around the
giant sheet of ice? Well,one don't. Well you have an automatic,

(06:20):
so I was gonna say, don'tdown shift, up shift aggressively.
Really you want to try to maintainyour speed and your direction. Is that
a mammoth? And oh you knowhow amazing a mammoth would be, especially
if it can you imagine the numberof imbeciles that would try to take a
photo with it. I want amammoth so bad now to be here,

(06:44):
you are threatening people with an iceage in the middle of melt. You
know where people will be like,you know what, that sounds fine,
I'll take it. How many ofyou would like a little ice age to
break out today if you gotta workoutside? How many are like, you
know what, give me the iceage? And so they went there they

(07:08):
went because people were pointed. Theywent there. We got seven years left.
But no, no, it couldhappen at any moment, just sitting
there minding your business. You gota nice uh yeah, hot coffee,
get you get you going this morning. Some of you probably listen right now
with that cup in your hand.You just you got it the old sheets

(07:29):
or whatever, and before you cantake a sip from it iced coffee.
Forget the Hayes method or whatever thatthat's called, or Hayes ice hack or
whatever. You don't even have touse that anymore. Just just be there.
So I for one, there wasa lot of good news. If

(07:51):
you look at it that came outyesterday. One it might not be a
billion degrees. I'm gonna run thisby raced Agic and I'll bet that that
would be bad news for hurricane barrel. You don't even have to shoot a
nuke into it now or whatever.Which by the way, I'm just gonna

(08:11):
let you know that the hurricane barrelis impacting some of our back are our
tech so or it has the abilityto because a lot of our stuff is
out of Texas. So if duringthe course of the show, something we
got we gotta make some tweaks orroll with it. That's what we do

(08:33):
here. But we're okay, andwe hope that all of our colleagues down
in Texas. I got a lotof good friends that work Cryheart in Texas.
I hope everyone is okay or doingwhat they need to do. But
that's the reality of things. Andit's not a reality we haven't faced before,
but a giant ice age on theback end of it, And I
mean one that do you know howlong it took the last ice age to

(08:56):
form? It didn't you didn't wakeup one day and you're like, I
guess we got to go kill animalswith fur or it's not gonna be good
for us. But that was beforethe Industrial Revolution. Oh so you think
we've had the ability to speed itup like basically everything else we do now.
But you don't have to. Itdoesn't take you know, churning butter

(09:18):
doesn't take all day. He makesa butter pretty quick. Probably a bad
example, but you know what Imean. So yeah, just so you
know, at any point today,it could be ice age city, So
I want to watch out for that. We're here to arm you with the
information they need. If there wasan ice age, would we have to

(09:39):
come into work. You know wewould. You know we would because you
know, you can you imagine theratings right there, because people want to
know what's going on. They'd wantto know how many were stomped to death?
Where did this device come from?They and then you know they'd want
to know how many idiots were stompedto death trying to, you know,

(10:01):
take the selfie with the mammoth.Dude, I'd lean into that. We'd
have a sponsor, we'd have amammoth selfie death count. I know it's
a little dark, but people shouldknow better, and I would encourage any
of you. There was a storyI didn't get to last week. You
know what a fan I am oftourist goring season back home in Wyoming,

(10:22):
there was these idiots, I shouldn'tsay idiots. In fact, if you
like what the if you like takingselfies with wildly dangerous animals that weigh more
more than a small car, theirtechnique is perfect. In fact, this
is what I'd recommend. They didn'tjust try to take a picture of the
bison. They realized it was beinguncooperative, so they cornered it. And

(10:48):
if you corner a bison right,it's like it's like chess. Right,
the bison will respect the fact thatyou have put it in check. Right.
They're very intelligent animals compared to themodern day cow. So if it's
just trying, if it's just tryingto bison, you know, do what

(11:09):
bison do. Yeah, I concurthe best thing you want to do with
like a beast of anything. Trapit in a corner. Yeah, you
know it'll it'll it'll recognize your alphastatus and superiority and at that point will
become docile. It was I know, it's one of the little things,

(11:30):
but it was always funny to me. Where they would show they'd show,
you know, in a movie,they'd show somebody like and I don't mean
in one where it's like there's acertain mythical element like she can talk to
dragons, right, No, Imean like where somebody just there's this horrible
beast and somebody's just like, I'mreally good with the animals, and they're

(11:52):
just like, go over, andwho's the guy who's the dog whisper?
What's that dude's name? Caesar Milanseel, Even Caesar Milan doesn't people have
People have criticized him for making peoplethink that they can run up to that
pit bull and I mean you justwalk up to and go yeah, which

(12:13):
works for a lot of dogs.I mean, look, don't get me
wrong, there's there are a lotof things that when when utilized correctly,
because you have to you have tolet that dog know who's in charge.
That's absolutely true. But you don'tdo that on the first day in your
neighbor's yard with a ski mask on. That doesn't work. Usually there's a

(12:35):
process. So I'd see people likebreaking horses in an afternoon and I'm just
like, shut up. But withbison and manas that works. Sciences,
the sciences sounds. So you wantto take your hand and slap the mammoth
right on its ass, just gotto make the sound the season milan,
Yeah, you could do that.You can pull its trunk right and they

(12:58):
yeah, they're big fans of that. Or let's say you're into ross,
you're into fitness, right, hmmm, Well you're into trying. You're trying
all right? If you the tussare great pull up bars. I don't
know if you know this overhand oroverhand, you know, one for one
and one for the other. Yeah, that's why there's two. This is

(13:20):
uh. You know, God's intelligentdesign. He's like, there's one for
this, there's one for that,and uh, and they love it.
And since you're filming yourself, you'regetting the selfie at the same time.
So absolutely yeah. You run acrossa mammoth today, jump right on that
thing. Probably want to tame itso you can take it over the Alps
like Hannibal, which I most ofthose things are not connected, but you're

(13:45):
creating your own adventures. So absolutelyso watch out for that today. At
any point. Whoosh, here comesthe uh, here comes a glacier.
And as we know, glaciers movefast. You know what, I'm reminded
of what was that awful movie wherethe ice Age did come back? They

(14:05):
called it one of the least scientificmovies. It probably would be the I
think you're talking about The Day AfterTomorrow right where they have the cold has
the ability to insta freeze you.But it comes at you in this at
one hundred miles an hour and likecause they're like trying to go out of
the library to some other place orwhatever, and this guy steps out and

(14:26):
you hear this whoosh and then allof a sudden they just you just turned
to an ice block and then disintegrade. And I think that would be the
least scientific movie if it wasn't forthe core, right, I think that
one. Usually, I think boththose movies came out around the same time.
And if you don't know the core, basically who was who was the

(14:50):
inventor? Was Morgan Freeman in that? Was that Morgan Freeman? He was
in the Day After Tomorrow? DayAfter Tomorrow? Yeah, I knew he
was in one of them. Yeah, But basically, so I can't remember
who the dude in the desert is. But anyway, he he, I
don't know. He found a compoundthat can resist any heat, which,
by the way, this is whatkilled me about that. So they use

(15:13):
it to go to the core ofthe earth to start it again in a
in a spelunking adult toy. Ihave there's no other word for it,
like it's it. I had athere's a there's a much harsher language term
that I have for it. Andyeah, but I'm like, wait,

(15:37):
you have this composite. He mentionsthat he's had it for years. Do
you understand the amount of lives thatcould have been saved with a material that
resists all heat, think of thethink of the the industrial applications of that
electronics you name it, man,and they're just these just in the desert.
He's like, I know this thing. You don't know this thing.

(15:58):
I'll wait until the corest working,all the whole thing's done. So watch
out for the ice age, watchout for the Spanish inquisition, and God
help you both show up today.I don't know what you're gonna do.
We'll be back the ice age toto befall us. And again I suspect
if you're somebody who h works,why is why can't have my Why is

(16:23):
my little search thing not working?Dang it? Where is it? Audio
search? Okay? I just foundit. Sorry, I may have broken
everything. That's great sitting here andthey're like, ah, you know,
just keep in mind that we're dealingwith storm stuff done in Texas, so

(16:45):
you know, on your be onyour guard should anything arise, and then
I screw things up thinking I'm justtrying to audio search. Well that's great
anyway, as we await the iceage, Ross, would you do me
a favor? I didn't see iceage, but could you do you mind
checking in the the old weather window. Oh man, is there a glacier

(17:07):
covering I see a squirrel it.Well, no, you, but you
wouldn't know. But that's what startsthe whole movie, the ice Age movie.
Is that squirrel. Now I realizedthat just after I was saying that.
No, so wait, there's alwayssquirrels. And by the way,
the windows from the Raleigh studio facenorth, so that's where I understand the
glaciers come from. Does the squirrelhave a nut or not? Oh my

(17:30):
god, several? Okay, ohdrop the nut? Oh no, what
it landed right on this dude's car. That's my car. Yeah, well
you put in the parked under thesquirrel tree. That's the squirrel tree.
We all know that's where the squirrelsare. Man, Well it's over for
us. Man. That was veryirresponsible. Usually squirrels are pretty good with

(17:52):
them, you know, they stuffthem in their cheeks. Chipmunks they look
at the doorable doing that and showboat and squirrel. It was juggling.
You're juggling the nuts, like lookat me, log at me human,
I'm juggling the boom. Drop thenuts. Ice Age. He probably wants
to be in showbiz, which iswhy he's doing that. Outside of the

(18:15):
window there to impress the you know, the the media guys. Is that
really what? I've never seen themovie? How does it? What is
the origin story of the ice Agein the Ice Age Kids movie? I
can't it's been a long time.I can't remember if the Ice Age movie
is. I think it's the endof the Ice Age, I think.
I don't think it's the beginning.I think it's the end, okay of

(18:37):
the And there's a squirrel with anut and he's chasing the nut and he
gets the nut, and but thenlike the ice cracks and the ice all
the ice starts to crack. ButI don't want to be saying that begins
the ending of the ice Age.I don't want to be science guy here.
Where the hell would he get nutsin the ice Age? He stored
them for the winner that but thatwouldn't that wouldn't track. Do you understand

(19:00):
the type of cold that we're talkinglike? Sometimes they store them in their
mouths so they can put like allthese and the l poofy. Yeah,
but he's dead too, So nextyou're gonna tell me they can talk or
something. And then Ray Romano,what, who's a mammoth? Meets Queen
Latifa, who's a mammoth, andhe hasn't seen a mammoth in a long
time, and he's like, weneed to propagate to save our species.

(19:25):
You just said that he's in theice age. How would he have not
seen a mammoth in a long timebecause they were separated by the giant ice
wall that wasn't cracked by this quarrelthe ice trying to keep on? Man?
Is this your dome stuff? Isthis? This is the movie?
Okay, So he wants to hookup with the mammoth and then you have
John Leguizamo. What would that creaturelook like? Sorry anyway, John,

(19:48):
so John Leguizamo, Okay, that'ssome diversity going here. What's he?
I think he plays the sloth?Do so? Now we have ice laws?
Do you know where sloths live rightnow? Yes? Downtown at the
museum up in the tree. Doyou know where wild sloths live? I'm

(20:14):
pretty sure that one downtown and Raleighis the last sloth. I don't want
to call you out of this allright, Still one I've ever seen?
You're aware of my uh travels toCentral America correct Costa Rica? Do you
know that they have the largest concentrationof sloths. It's kind of their thing,
and in fact, you're not allowedto harass them in any way,

(20:37):
shape or form. And they havea fungus on them that if you touch
them it's actually poisonous to humans,which may be true or maybe something they
just tell tourists. So they're notdumb, but they are fans of warmer
weather. So I'm starting to thinkthat the science advisor on ice Age might
have forged their resume. I thinkthe greatest animal when it comes to scientific

(21:02):
accuracy. And the previous segment,we were talking about the movies that were
just way off, like The Coreand The Day After Tomorrow or whatever.
The movie that really nails it isthe movie Zootopia. Whereas the sloth works
at the DMV. I mean thatone I would believe who plays that.

(21:22):
I don't know if there's a Idon't know if it's a famous person,
but it's great because they go inand he needs to get like something signed
or some stamp to the DMV,and he brings it in. The sloth
is just going it's super slow motionas they do, yeah, and he's
just staring at everybody's staring at himlike perfect, but you couldn't. But
you have to understand, man,you can't discriminate against sloths in hiring practices.

(21:45):
See you not having children, You'vemissed all the science here of the
well, Life's age predates Lincoln evena lot older than him. So yeah,
and I'm not opposed necessary. Ilook, I think some of the
movies before they started deciding that theyhad to get all political in them,
right when they were still too.Yeah, No, they're great, especially

(22:07):
if you have Shrek. Shrek isa great movie. I don't care if
you're an adult or kid or anyof the rest of it. And and
I have no problem with those andthose types of movies. I would be
sitting on a couch or whatever,and I'm just you know, at that
point, you really only had Netflixback in the day, and so I'm
digging through. I'm like, whatam I gonna watch? And then you
know there might be a Shrek onthere, Shrek too or whatever, and

(22:30):
I would watch that, I'll admitit, and I'm like, that's funny.
Mike Myers was funny of those,dude, the whole thing was great.
And now it's like, you know, diversity topia, right, or
you know whatever it is, andit's and I feel like I'm not going
to get any of the kind ofhidden adult jokes in there, so it's
not worth the time. I'd ratherwatch Veloci pastor or whatever we talked about

(22:56):
last week or the week before.Oh man, all right, let me
boy? Can I call it?Man? I absolute ross. I nailed
it with the cuts I sent youthis morning. What do you think has
already been emailed to me several timesbased on the audio cuts that I sent

(23:17):
you this morning? Which one doyou think has been emailed to me several
times from a rando Twitter accounts andor very sketchy looking blogs. Uh,
probably the second one, not theTrump one. You are by NATO.
All right, It's gonna irritate someof you, but please please understand I'm

(23:41):
only doing I'm trying to help you. Joe Biden yesterday spoke at NATO.
I didn't know what was gonna whatwas gonna happen there. Obviously he was
on teleprompert although to be fair,I'm not surprised by the most Most people
when they go speak at NATO areon teleprompter. I the Trump was on

(24:06):
teleprompter, So that's not unusual,but I was curious how it went,
like everybody else, because you know, world stage, everybody's acting like this
will give the chance the world achance to see him. Do you think
that they don't read the other stuff? Do you think they were Do you

(24:27):
think they didn't see the debate?So don't give me that. But there's
a couple things floating around, andsome of them have been propelled by rather
large Twitter accounts claiming that Biden saidsome stuff right, he had his Biden

(24:47):
moments there and it's it's it's allso terrible. One of them is,
well, let me let me startwith the one that people I don't maybe
they you haven't listened to it yourself. So I'm gonna play it for you.
And in fact, I'm not goingto set up what people are claiming,
he said, I'm going to playthe audio first and then I will
tell you because I don't want tobias you. Here he is, who's

(25:11):
he even introducing to the head ofNATO. I don't care. He's introducing
one of the NATO people. Andin the introduction he's, you know,
he's reading his resume, so tospeak, and he says this so much
of the progress we've made in thealliance is thanks to the secretary. He's
a madame integrity and an intellectual rigor, a colmp tenterament moment of crisis,

(25:37):
all right. So other than thefact that his voice kind of goes in
and out, which is just reallywhere he is, we talked about this
last week where he during the campaign, right, he would yell almost and
then he'd do those whisper things,and now they're very closely. He's very
quiet. It's also the reason thatpeople were claiming that they were was it
the Stephanopolis interview where they were claimingthat they jacked with his mic to make

(26:02):
him sound different, and when inreality, it's just he's so quiet.
As soon as you have to boosta microphone, it's also boosting any of
the other sounds. So that's whyit's important when you're setting up a microphone.
Let me tell you, I justwas screwing with this yesterday in this
morning. You want you want tohit eighty five percent, maybe ninety percent.

(26:25):
But but if you have an audiocompressor like I do, like Ross
does, because you know we're aprofessional radio station, you get you can
take it right up to the level. But you want it at the level
and if you're really quiet, nowI've got to boost everything going on.
So if there is uh, thereis a noise that normally wouldn't be pick
picked up, and there is thathad ambient noise, right, there's always

(26:48):
you know, especially you have electronics, there's there's ambient noise of electronics and
other things around you all of asudden that starts getting mixed in there.
But other than that, people areon Twitter claiming that instead of rigor,
he said the how do I describethis? Not the N word, but

(27:14):
the N word when you put aW in front of it to imply that
somebody is white but acting black,and it is it is a kin.
It is an insult obviously, Okay, you know the word. So that
is what people are sending around sayingthat he said, I must be deaf

(27:36):
because I'm not here ross, whatdid you hear? We'll do a two
samples here with several cuts of himyesterday and I had to rewind them and
watch them, and so the firsttime I was I would listen. It's
not fair because the person posted itsaying that's what he said. So your
mind is going to hear that butwhen I went back and listened to it,

(27:56):
I heard the word rigor. Yes, one hundred percent, and I
saw what the obviously, what thewhat was posted? And oh, could
you believe he said this? AndI'm like, oh, dear God,
did he say that? And thenI played it and I'm like, no,
he clearly didn't. So much ofthe progress he made the alliance is
thanks to the Secretary. He's aman of integerty and an intellectual rigor,

(28:18):
a calm temperament moment of crisis.Okay, all right, and what do
you think the secretary is that that'sfine, you know for debate and all
that good stuff. But no,he clearly says rigor. And this goes
into and I got a bunch ofpeople who are like, dh, I
quit being a baby. What doyou a Biden guy? No, it
is not even a fairness thing.Right, I can be unfair from time.

(28:41):
Usually it's out of spite, like, all right, you want to
pull this fine game on that beingsaid, it it detracts from when you
point out the insane stuff that hedid say, or right, because you're
going to say this, he's seeingthe one thing. Yeah, then when
he actually does screw up people aregoing to say, oh, well,
you're just blowing this out of proportionlike you did last time. That wasn't

(29:03):
real, So this isn't real,and and and and the thing. The
thing about it too is if ifyou give an honest evil and you do
it on the Biden scale, becausehe's got his own, everyone's going to
have their own scale. Right,you could compare Biden to Barack Obama,
and Barack Obama for all of theannoying stuff and everything, Barack Obama was

(29:27):
a good orator, and in factit probably propelled him to the point where
you are allowed to say the otherword, I don't you know what,
I'm not even doing it, sir? All right, you ready, I'll
say it. Ross. Are youready, I'm gonna say, do not
dump it? Okay, you are? You are absolved of this. I

(29:49):
understand that, ready, rigor becausethat's what he said. By Biden standards,
it could have been a lot worseit was. It was by Biden's
standards, it was not that interesting. By the standards of almost anyone in

(30:11):
that room who at some point willhave to step up and speak. It
wasn't good. It didn't project strength, as they say there's another moment,
and I'm not gonna I didn't haverospel the other audio because I just I
don't care. But there's another momentwhere people are claiming that he said that

(30:32):
he the dude's wife, you know, And and that's a little harder to
hear in the sense that there's alittle noise and there's but he said an
E D word. But there's abackstory that is directly adjacent to it.
When the dude steps up to thepodium and basically Biden and I don't know

(30:56):
who all was with him, thesecretary's wife started into a conversation and it's
any Sorry, ladies, I'm gonnakind of throw you under the bus here.
And it's actually not just ladies.If there's somebody who is outgoing in
a relationship and another person who ismore introverted, you've probably been there where
the whoever's the chatty Cathy or whatever. You know, you guys are trying

(31:18):
to leave a party or whatever,and another conversation starts and you're standing there
tapping your foot like I've already paidthe check, I got the go get
the car, let's go home,right. That's an unusual thing. And
in this case, the secretary's wifegot into a conversation with Biden or somebody
in Biden's thing, and it literallydelayed him a few minutes from going to

(31:42):
this thing. So talked is probablythe word whatever it is, because let's
face it, Biden wouldn't use theF term to describe that act, which
is what people are that's way toorecent, right. He would use like,

(32:07):
I don't know, stooped or what. I don't know what is uh?
What is the uh? Or email? Is your funny man? What
is uh? What's the flappers termfor? What's a what's the turn of
the century eighteen hundreds term? Imean, what, what do you think

(32:28):
is in the lexicon? I hadto look it up. By the way,
I think I could say all ofthese enough time has passed, Ross.
Do you want to hear the eighteenhundreds the euphemisms for that particular act
that we're used. Maybe we canmake one of these great again. I
So I just sort of googled itwhile you were saying that. Yeah,

(32:51):
now I'm laughing here at studio becausethe terms I said, Yeah, I
just googled, like old words forsex? Yeah, yeah, and I
think for in at least right,this is who we're going. We have
to go back to the fifteen hundreds. Oh yeah, I saw that.
I got the eighteen hundreds one,but I saw some of those. All
right, that would be due thedeed of darkness. Yes, yes,

(33:14):
which, by the way, yougotta be careful what that was. They
may be inviting you to a Satanicritual. Look at this. From the
sixteen hundreds, it was very commonto say, pierce the hogshead. I
saw you. You are looking atthe same article. I was, all
right, can I give you oneback to Reddy? Blanket the horn pipe?
That's the winner? All right?Any of you listening later today?

(33:37):
Blanket? Was it? Blanket thehorn pipe? An listening? You have
to try this on your spouse later. Let me know how it goes.
Okay, all right, anyway,go ahead, No, it just gets
the great This is give give herthe green? What is that? Why

(34:01):
don't I don't even understand? Howdo you get there? The old lobster
kettle. I some of these I'veactually concerned that I shouldn't read them,
is there? But some of themare just hilarious? Man? All right,

(34:24):
sorry, I I probably get ourlife. Can you imagine having to
sit in that fcc uh uh hearing, like, what did you what did
you say on the radio? Didyou say pierce the hogshead or not?
Yeah? Oh, I mean baby, I don't know and you didn't.
Yeah no. In fact, Ross, you have to commit all of these

(34:45):
to memory. You have down belowPierce the hogs I'm im assuming looking at
the Google results, do you seethe one at the the the one too
below that? Like that one.I don't think I can read the one
about salad. Yeah, I wasthe That's why I haven't read it.
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,so but if people want to google it.

(35:05):
The trout one is funny to me, I'll read that one, Drope
the trout in a peculiar river?How comes so much of it is about
food? Do you know another term? And I kid you not in the
thirteen hundreds or no, mid fifteenhundreds is WAP So these things can come

(35:30):
around, all right? Anyway,Oh my gosh, I'm so late.
I'm sorry. I just realize this, Ross, I screwed up really really
bad because we got to go tobreak hang on and it is it's getting
scary out there. How do Iknow? CBS News is telling me so.
In fact, it's it's getting soscary because the Margaret Atwood future predicted

(35:55):
in the uh No, I wasgonna say, Hunger Games, what is
it? Oh dude? Why amI now spacing with that show? What's
the show with the women in thered gowns? The Handmaid's Tale? He
is getting ready to happen because DonaldTrump's Project twenty twenty five is upon us.
If you vote for him, that'swhat he's gonna do. And it's

(36:16):
got forced marriage and it's basically allthe bad stuff. And you heard Biden
attempt to bring it up in acouple of the interviews. This is the
new Russia, and the talking pointshave gone out, and you've got the

(36:37):
Biden Harris HQ Twitter account, whichis the campaign's quick response account. So
people claim it's not, you know, it's just somebody on Twitter. It's
not. It is their official quickresponse account, and it is absoluteize all
day, every day. Go througha scroll the timeline. There's more than

(36:58):
enough. You got beef with Trumpto say, hey, where we're different.
It's garbage. It's as much garbageas the Rigor thing, but arguably
more because those are randos on Twitter, This is the campaign account, and
so you can see where the talkingpoints are being directed as the as you

(37:19):
see what the account is spending itstime on. So dutifully CBS News picked
it up yesterday. So if you'reone of these folks who your entire worldview
is formulated based on what CBS News, NBC or ABC reports, and you
see this little, you know,ninety second two minute segment on the news,

(37:40):
absolutely terrifying. The and it followsafter the account from both the campaign
as well as Joe Biden's official accounttweeted quote Google Project twenty twenty five,
which, by the way, theresponses are hilarious on that tweet if you

(38:02):
want to go and read them,but feel free. And then Biden Harris
Hu fourth of July under President Trump'sProject twenty twenty five. And then it's
the you know, a scene fromHandmaid's Tale, and it's got the reflecting
pool with the big cross on theend of it. So CBS News jumps

(38:22):
in, here's the headline, whatis Project twenty twenty five? What to
know about the conservative blueprint for asecond Trump administration. Now, the wording
on that is very interesting because thisis not Donald Trump's blueprint at all.
The document they're referring to is something, by the way, that is years

(38:46):
old and is a project of anorganization you've I'm sure you've heard of called
the Heritage Foundation. Heritage Foundation isI've I don't know how long they've been
around, but i've you know,I've done stuff where we you know,
gotten guests from them for I thinkas long as I've been doing talk radio.

(39:07):
They pitch guests, and they theyhad they were very good at it.
And and and by the way,I'm not knocking on the Heritage Foundation.
There are a think take and theyhave a gazillion people that have gone
through there. And some of theirideas are good, and there's gonna be

(39:27):
some ideas that I don't agree with. It's like any pool of things,
but they are They're about discourse anddiscussion. One of the things that they're
very smart about in uh in ingetting radio folk and TV folk to utilize
their experts, is they have avery good name recognition cross section of people.

(39:51):
Right, A lot of times weget pitch guests on particular topics and
I've never heard of any of them. It's not to say that they're that
they're they're bad pe people or anyof it. But we're also in entertainment
to some extent. So if Itell you that, and you know,
pick whoever the guest is, andit's somebody whose name recognition is there one,

(40:14):
it may speak to their expertise.A lot of times it does,
but also it's uh, you mightbe inclined to go, oh, well,
I'm I'm gonna make sure that I'mlistening to the show at you know,
seven thirty five or whatever it is, or you go back and listen
to the podcast what did he say? A lot of times, because the
person has name recognition, if theysay something and it becomes newsworth excuse me,

(40:38):
newsworthy or controversial or whatever it is, that will end up being carried
by other outlets. We've had guestson this show where the very same media
outlets that I criticize on the regularend up using a quote. And then
it's always funny how they refer tothe show, because sometimes they won't,

(41:01):
which is which is is a snafffoo and it is? It is not
a it's rude and it's not theway you're supposed to do things. When
Ral says something stupid, I say, wr L said this. When somebody
on WRL says, and I'm like, listen to what this idiot said on
WRL, or listen to what thisthis quote from the News and Observer.

(41:23):
Why do they always have this guy? That's what you do? And when
I see an article where they're likehe told a local radio station this,
I understand why they're doing it.Screw them. It's you know, we
got more people than you anyway,if you're one of the newspapers around here,
so fine whatever. So yeah,yeah, that's how that works.

(41:49):
So with CBS News and sitting thereand saying that this is the conservative blueprint
for a second Trump administration, itmakes it sound as though it's Trump's thing
and it's not. And I knowthis because there Trump has his thing,
and arguably it sounds scarier. Rosstell me what sounds scarier to you,

(42:15):
right, Project twenty twenty five orAgenda forty seven. I was gonna make
the same comparison, what do youmean, like or the Agenda twenty one
comparison? Like I've muted the Projecttwenty twenty five on social media because I
know I've been doing this long enoughnow to know this is gonna be something

(42:37):
that goes nowhere, Yes, butit only has to go up to the
election and tarror people. Right.But if you just want something that sounds
ominous, does project twenty twenty fiveor agenda forty seven? So and I
know I'm obviously doing the voice,but the one sounds scarier, right,
Agenda, agenda and project. Ifyou those two words, one has a

(43:00):
more serious, perhaps ominous connotation,would you agree? Yeah? No,
I mean you see this with acomedy too, was certain words are funnier
than other ones. Yeah, you'veseen, like there was a special with
the like it's called what what isfunnier? Somehows like Jerry Seinfeld a bunch
of comics on it and talk about, Yes, how certain words will choose
because they're funnier. It's just thesound or the feeling of the word like,
and numbers are funnier, like sevenis the funny number compared to like

(43:22):
three, Right, So they'll putit in jokes like that. And yeah,
the word agenda sounds more negative thanproject, Yeah, because agenda sounds
like it's what you want to do. Project sounds like we're working together on
this now. And then even moreominous order, can you think of any
orders that sound extra ominous, perhaps, yeah, like sixty six. Now,

(43:44):
oh wow, what is that isthat? Is that about state's rights
or something or I cration for mypersonal opinion. I think it would be
like bringing order to the galaxy.That's what it sounds like. Order.
Okay, all right, well thatsounds Look I wouldn't I would want a
galaxy with wouldn't you. So I'msure it's fine. But no. So

(44:05):
he's got his own thing. Andin fact, Trump has commented on Project
twenty twenty five and I'm gonna read. I'm gonna read what he put out
verbatim, and this is this isI think a week ago, Yeah,
the fifth. He put this outon the fifth, and it's not the
first time he's commenting on it.But I just pulled it from his truth
Social It says I know nothing aboutProject twenty twenty five. I have no

(44:27):
idea who is behind it. Idisagree with some of the things they're saying.
Some of the things they're saying areabsolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they
do, I wish them luck,but I have nothing to do with them
it. And arguably I'm surprised hewas that harsh on Heritage, But there
is a wing of Heritage who arekind of of the never Trump, but
that speaks to the broad group thatis Heritage Foundation. So again, a

(44:53):
lot of people, there's a lotof people who are going to vote for
Trump and wish that he does stuffthat he doesn't do. And there's gonna
be people who vote for Trump thathe does things that they wish he wouldn't
have done. That's the nature ofit. But you know, for Project
twenty twenty five to be the youknow, the boogeyman there when he's got

(45:14):
something called Agenda forty seven, which, by the way, the number,
if you didn't make the connection,would be the forty seventh president. I
know, it's a real brainbuster CBSNews, though the way that they worded
it makes it sound like it's his. Now you have to read down into

(45:35):
the story to understand what's going onhere. Let me start. Voters in
recent weeks have begun to hear thename Project twenty twenty five and voked more
and more by President Biden and Democratsas they seek to sound the alarm about
what could be in store if formerPresident Donald Trump wins. So that's your
lead here's the thing they're talking about. It be ominous. You better read

(46:02):
up. Overseen by the Conservative HeritageFoundation, the multi pronged initiative includes a
detailed blueprint for the next Republican presidentto usher in a sweeping overhaul of the
executive branch. So the front ofthe story is, here's this thing,
here's what the Democrats are saying.Doesn't this sound scary? Then I gotta

(46:29):
Then I have to keep reading,and I will give CBS credit. Normally
they put this right at the end, and it's more middle. They write,
Trump and his campaign have worked todistance themselves from Project twenty twenty five.
Why would they have to work todistance themselves from something that's not theirs.

(46:50):
That's like saying that I have towork to distance myself from the new
labor proposal for British overtime and minimumway laws. Why would I have to
work to do I don't even knowwhat that is. I don't even know
that that's a thing. I'm sureit's gonna be though. Europe is so
screwed man. By the way,Ross, did you see they start investigating

(47:13):
in the UK some of the formerTory folk. Yeah, so we got
what France, they're investigating the pennNow they're gonna interview investigate some of the
the British, the more conservative party, and then Germany. I think they're
doing it too. How dare youtry to upset the apple card of moon

(47:36):
battery? But Democrats continue to tiethe transition project to Trump. What happened?
By the way, where's Daniel DaleCBS News is he's the fact check
guy? Right, Where's Daniel Daleto write a fact check that just says
Trumps is this is not Trump's thing. This is from the Heritage Foundation.

(48:00):
Trump's thing is called this. Here'sthe details. We rate this as false.
That would have been done the otherThey anytime something's attempted to be attached
to Biden, even things that areclearly attached to him, or there's a
lot of tentacles and would require investigating, like I don't know him coming to

(48:20):
the table and sitting down with Hunter'sbusiness partners. Remember the narrative was he
never talked about anything. Well,but then he did and then yeah,
but it was just you know,fatherly advice and then he didn't do anything
and there was no investment in Butevery step of the way there was a
fact check saying this isn't him.They do then later say that Trump did

(48:45):
call some of the proposals abysmal,and that's right. He feels that some
of them are. Some of themare things. I promise, if you're
listening to my voice, you agreewith even those of you who don't like
Donald Trump, there are things thatthe Heritage will put out there that seem
like better, more modern. Theyseem like more efficient ways to do things.

(49:06):
And whatever side of government you comedown on, you can't disagree that
there are probably ways in which itcould be more efficient. That doesn't necessarily
mean blowing out whole agencies, althoughyou know, I got some ideas because
these are frustrating. Remember we justtalked about with the ice age stuff,
with the sloth who plays the DMV. I'm going to do this callback,

(49:29):
which, by the way, that'sa comedy term. I'm going to get
into funny words in comedy stuff,the sloth at the DMV. Right,
the better you voted for, you'retelling me you've never been in a government
office and frustrated with inefficiency. Andsometimes I don't even necessarily just put it
on the day to day employees wherethe inefficiency rises from above. If you

(49:51):
work in corporate America, you've likelyencountered questions where you're like, why are
we doing it this way? Wouldit make more sense to do it that
way? And you know, maybeyou're right, or maybe there's things you
don't know. That's that's also someof the stuff here. But yes,
decidedly the Heritage Foundation, being aleft or a right leaning think tank,

(50:13):
is going to have more conservative ideas. But again, this is from two
and a half two and a halfyears ago. Two and a half years
ago is when they they tied thiswhole thing together. So uh, but
it's out there now and if CBSis reporting it, others will reported.

(50:35):
CBS is headline if you're a headlinereader, leads one to the conclusion that
this is Trump's thing. That's whatI got from it. What is project
twenty twenty five? What to knowabout the conservative blueprint for a second Trump
administration? Now, if you wantedto make a more intellectual argument and try
to tie it, I could seehow you might do that because if you

(51:00):
remember, but he was on therecord one of the promises that Donald Trump
made, and there were many thatfelt that this was something that helped him
win the election. Was the SupremeCourt justice list, right, and it
was a judicial watch right is notwho produced that list. And Trump pledged

(51:22):
utilizing a list that didn't put togetherby this group who tracks all these judges.
That their top list, and itis a right leaning group of nominees
that he would only select from thoseand that included Cony Barrett, that included

(51:44):
Dorsage and that's who he selected from. So he has utilized information outside,
but he did it in a verypublic banner. He made a pledge out
of it. So anyone running thisthis is where story selection be comes bias.
We'll be back hang on. Butone of the things that Google doesn't

(52:05):
have a lock on is the maps. I understand that the maps app that
you may have on your phone,but more specifically the utilization of mapping for
the purpose of navigating. Right,do you remember you remember the days?
And yes you can. Of courseyou can still get the I guess and

(52:27):
you can get the actual dealer specificnavigation systems and vehicles those obviously are a
thing, but most people, Ithink most people either use an integrated feature
and it could be like Apple Playin a lot of vehicles. What is
the There's another one too, obviouslyon the Google side. But people will

(52:52):
integrate apps and then the expectation iswithin the app to use it as your
navigation system, and you can dothat with Google Maps. But what do
most people? What do most peopleuse? And consider, Ross, do
you ever use navigation? Do youever use navigation when you guys are traveling?
And yeah, which one do youuse? Use Google mapp? But

(53:15):
you don't use Ways at all?Oh okay, all right, well then
I stand corrected, at least asrosscoes. I think most people I know
use Ways, and that's because Wayshas stuff that Google Maps doesn't. Ways
was very smart in the way thatthey did things, although I do not
appreciate how they got bullied out ofone of the early really cool things about

(53:36):
Ways by a bunch of whiny norththe excuse me, whiny homeowners in the
northern suburbs of Los Angeles. Becausewhen Ways first came out, if it
was a street and it was legalfor you to drive on, it went
into the calculations which if you're ina you know, an area with a
lot of traffic, that would goahead, and that could push you through

(54:00):
a neighborhood and people start screaming,bloody murder, even though that's a public
street. The people driving on italso paid taxes for it. Kiss it.
But Ways made that. They madethe changes that basically said no,
unless unless there's no other way through, or you're going your destination happens to

(54:20):
be within I think it's a certaindistance from it. We're not going to
push you through a neighborhood, evenif it will save you time, which
I was very irritating to me becauseI'm like, this is a really good
thing. And Ways also relies oncrowdsourcing. Right, if you use Ways,

(54:40):
and you're going if you use Ways, and I do, in fact,
I used it. The last timeI used it was when I was
for like a lengthier drive. Waswhen I was driving back from the Greensboro
studio a couple of weeks ago toRaleigh. Right, and you know,
you know that drive, it's justa straight show, just going, going,

(55:01):
going, You hit the split,pick your poison, and off you
go. And so I'm back andyou know how Ways works, right is
there there's police and it's always bythe way station, which is why,
by the way, I'm just gonnalet you know the State Patrol guys ain't
gonna like this, but they knowyou know too, I am. I

(55:22):
am constantly, so everybody is kindof mentally ignores that there's going to be
police near that the truck way stationthere, and on multiple occasions I've seen
where that's where they've set up speedtraps. I'm not telling you anything that
if you're above the age of five, you don't know, and so people

(55:43):
will ignore it. And then onceyou've made that transition to forty coming off,
you know, coming from the split, like you're Raleigh to Greensboro,
you know, your jot, youryour mind is on jockeying for lanes at
that point, figure out how faryou're gonna get over, how that's gonna
work. And you're almost already uponthis thing by the time that there's a

(56:04):
radar gun on you. And I'veseen like five six troopers sitting there,
you know, there, there's afew sitting there. And then over the
next like half mile, there's justpeople pulled over, so like they're adapting
to the technology. And there's areally funny video I posted a long time
ago, and it shows a guyand I know if he's a sheriff or

(56:25):
whatever, and he's sitting in thereand he's smiling. He's just sitting in
a squad car, smiling. Andhe pans down and you see a phone
and it has ways and it sayspolice officer nearby and he clicks no,
it's him, right, And Ilaughed. I don't know why I laughed.
I thought it was funny, butbecause it is funny. But in

(56:51):
the course of using the ways,there will be pop ups. It'll say
police or is there a broken downcar? And I'll tell you what ways,
I'll tell you where. Ways hasliterally saved me, at the very
least from some significant damage. Isobject in the road. Object in the
road is the worst man, becauseyou can't see it. And then all

(57:13):
of a sudden you see a carthat had been puttering along at like three
over in the middle lane that youhappen to be stuck behind. Hopefully you're
not following too close, because thatperson is turning into evil Knievel at that
moment, because you know, sometruck didn't have a tool or something strapped
down, and now there's a ripsawin the middle of the road and you're

(57:36):
probably gonna die hitting that thing.But it could or it could flip back,
kill somebody or at the very leastseverely damage your vehicle, and is
great. It's a great feature,but you don't have to do anything with
those pop ups. You can ignoreit, and in fact, I think
if you ignore it enough, italmost doesn't ask you for a lot of

(57:57):
stuff. Google, on the otherhand, being criticized because Google has decided
they're going to start integrate pop upadvertising into their navigation. So if you
use the Google navigation system, GoogleMaps, they're testing out new pop up
ads to promote businesses along the way. And it's not like Ways doesn't do

(58:21):
that. Ways does have sponsored businesses, and what happens is the and Google
does this with their standard maps.The logo looks different. So if you
say restaurant, if you're looking atwhat would be restaurants, and let's say
that they have a deal with Chickfil A, you'll see the Chick fil
A logo and it will prominently standout from others. That's smart integration because

(58:45):
you are dealing not now with peoplesitting at home on a map trying to
figure out where this restaurant is orwhich one to go to. You're dealing
with people who are driving at incrediblespeeds. So imagine the frustration when you're
driving and you're looking down over atyour map and there's a pop up ad

(59:07):
for an Applebee's. And I'm notpicking on Applebee's, but now it's impairing
your ability to look at the map. Some people that's a functionality issue,
but in the test, it lookslike drivers are getting very irritated because it's
now you can't use the function it'sfor, and now they have to take
their attention away from the road tofigure out how to purge that and clear

(59:29):
that so they can use the thingthat they're trying to use to actually drive.
So I don't know how that's goingto work, but I'm here to
predict lawsuits. Man. And AppleMaps, if you remember, had such
a disastrous initial rollout that apparently thenew Apple Maps and this we'll see when
it gets out with the the whateverthe new is it eighteen I guess it

(59:52):
would be the newer iOS that's coming. It's been completely overhauled and some of
the features they're promising look pretty cool. But uh yeah, if we're gonna
get remember how remember how annoying popup ads became during the early days of
the Internet. If we think we'regonna do that to things that are integrated
into our car systems, I don'tthink consumers are gonna be a big fan.

(01:00:15):
All Right, I have located myvery favorite headline. I'll be sharing
that with you coming up here injust a few minutes. Let me grab
a call real quick. Yes,Jamal, what's up? Hey, Casey?
I just wanted to say this.Okay, everybody knows I call them
the show all the time. Butyou have the KCO Day Morning Show Twitter

(01:00:36):
page. You got the raw Shrifffor Hayes twitter page. Now if I
say something on my show, noone should be at home. Well Jamal
shared this, so Casey O Day, No Cacoday didn't say that. This
is what Jamal. I blame thatthe Hafta Tryoundation said about Project twenty five.
President Trump has agenda at forty seven. Now what I do blame the

(01:01:00):
Heritage Foundation four is this. Youhave all these conservative shows, what you
mentioned, You have your your show, Pete Power, you have Steve Klark,
have all these different shows they couldhave started, you know, having
people talk about it. So whenliberals found out, oh now we're trying

(01:01:22):
to backcubble trying to read it,trying to, you know, so we
can baby to defend ourself. Thenthey tried to use it against President Trump
because the media was never you know, they you know, people of the
bide administration upset and Democrats upset thatthey got thirty percent of what President Trump
got during his presidence. You know, I want to understand it. So

(01:01:44):
you think that that I and POChosts should have talked about twenty twenty five
regularly, so it wasn't a surprise, you No, they they should they
should have had Yeah, I don't. You know, here's the problem,
Jamal. I don't need my audiencechoosing to drive themselves into a concrete divider.

(01:02:04):
If I were to read forty sevenpages of that, I don't want
to lose listeners. So okay,I just want to make sure that's what
it was. Yeah, the wholething is, the whole thing is dumb.
I just imagine somebody somebody turn itoff from mean clip and said we
open that mean clip. People playedin turn and drove off a clip.
Yeah. I don't need that,Jamal. I gotta I'm sorry. I

(01:02:28):
got to roll into my weather forhitting late breaks. But yeah, coming
up, on the show. I'mgonna read verbatim Project twenty twenty five.
No, I'm not. I'm gonnaread my favorite headline, uh in a
long time in fact, raced agent. Do you want to hear my favorite
headline I've read in a very longtime? I do. I was gonna,
I was gonna say yes, Idefinitely want to stick around for We're

(01:02:50):
gonna do it now. I'm notgonna do the story. I'm just gonna
do the headline. Okay, let'sdo that. You you trust me,
you'll be able to google this.Are you ready clown arrested in escort sting?
Not as a customer, as aprovider moon lighting? Clearly that's great,

(01:03:15):
But how much like you know,are you showing up and the clowns
in full regale? Or is doesthat never brought up? I have so
many questions, will get yea.And by the way, it's a dud
thing, all right, all right, so so excited anyway, and it's

(01:03:37):
good because you're gonna bring me down, so do your thing right, Yeah,
a little bit. Basically, it'sparts of the triad still underheat.
Advisory triangle is there's a front comingin. It's cold front actually I'll call
it a cool front that's gonna bringin some drier air. That boundary right
now is just to the west ofa line from about I'm gonna go so

(01:04:00):
Statesville down towards Shelby and west ofCharlotte. But as it comes through today
to bring in some drier air,so some of us the further west you
go may feel a little less humiditytriangle with a heat advisory still low to
mid nineties, feeling close to oneO five to one ten with the heat
indecks. And there maybe a coupleof showers thunderstorms this afternoon in a line
from about Chapel Hill and Roxboro downtoward a Pinehurst and points east and out

(01:04:24):
toward the outer Banks. A fewshowers thunderstorms are possible tonight mid seventies.
Chance of showers and thunderstorms Tomorrow nearninety degrees, upper eighties the further west
you go to mid eighties as youget in the mountains, and then we're
gonna have a disturbance come in offthe Atlantic. It's gonna try and increase
the rain chances for Friday, showersthunderstorms, and over the weekend some scattered

(01:04:44):
showers and thunderstorms. I think Saturdaythat chance will be on and off again
all day and then Sunday maybe justduring the afternoon hours. But we're right
back into the nineties. So ifwe do get a brief break, especially
the further west you go, itlooks like the ridge is gonna dig in
again. Next week could be talkedabout temperatures getting back into the upper nineties
and that's without the heated dext Sothe change coming will be the wet weather.

(01:05:06):
Chance is starting to go up overthe coming days and then they'll go
back down to the temperatures are goingto go back up as we can into
next week. Okay, all right, thank you sir, do appreciate it
for talking an hour. And yes, yes, a clown has been has
been charged in a big escort stingand not as a customer, So we'll

(01:05:29):
get that for you. And wegot we got a bunch of audio I
need to get to as well,including genocide. Joe is apparently no more.
I'll let you know who's thrown theirendorsement on Joe Biden coming up.
Hang on, some interesting stuff inthe police report, all right. Prosecutors
have charged a Pennsylvania man who worksas a professional circus clown attempting to moonlight

(01:05:55):
as a hooker. The twenty eightyear old who goes by what is his
name? The amazing Franco who isI mean, he's not. He's not
just for kids birthday parties, whoregularly tours with circuses, including you know,

(01:06:15):
some of the biggest I think Barnumand Bailey and a couple others.
He actually just came back from atour. Also works when he's not touring
at state fairs and several others.So like this guy's he is. He
is upper echelon clown. However,according to the man Frank, but they

(01:06:39):
the pay for clowns is bottoming out. People just ain't digging on the clowns
man, And in fact, hesaid the money has become so bad that
most clowns, he knows, evenprofessional clowns who do a circus touring,
unless they're you know, really reallyhigh profile, can barely afford to make
ends meeting the required to moonlight andother jobs. He's a he is a

(01:07:03):
victim of the Biden economy. Man. See what I did there? Anyway?
He let's see here where was hisScranton pas where they did the sting
and they had the undercover officers.He had posted on one of the websites
and showed up the phone number thathe posted on the website. Actually,

(01:07:26):
if he googled it, it wentright to his clown hiring page, which
probably not smart. But he endedup negotiating a deal as the provider and
then showed up where he was takeninto custody. What is tragic here?
And I was trying to find itis I want to see the ad.

(01:07:48):
Was he offering it with the clownoutfit or not? Because I have to
I mean, I got to thinkthat's a thing for somebody, right,
a thing that he could unique provide. I mean, anyone could dress up
as a clown, but this dudeknows how to do it right. And
let's face it, probably more onthe female clown provider side. There's certain

(01:08:14):
skill sets that are probably transferable.Yeah, you go, you know,
whatever you do? What was itthe deed of darkness? Was that the
term we used we heard earlier?And you go home? And also you
got a giraffe, So so AnyWhoit is, let's see here. Yeah,

(01:08:39):
one, two, they're like threeor four audio cuts. I still
want to get to. So we'regonna try to make all those work here
in this hour. But I've gota bunch of rollover. I want to
do. What a crazy week?Man? Do you think that this slows
down at all between now and theelection? You know, if if once

(01:09:00):
Biden is firmly in there, peopleare predicting, well, then it'll get
back to the normal campaign. SoI don't think it will. I think
we've entered into this new phase wheredid you see how mad people are that
Donald Trump isn't outdoing stuff, whichis not true. He had a big
rally yesterday in Florida, but he'snot saying the crazy things that normally they

(01:09:25):
could latch onto. And you haveyou have like the Tristan Snells of the
were of the world, and youhave commentators on MSNBC and others who were
like, Donald Trump's hiding. He'shiding so that it makes Joe look worse.
No one, he's not hiding.He did that. He did a

(01:09:47):
big Florida rally yesterday, He's gotother one scheduled. But also what if
he was hiding, Which is interestingthat you would bring those words up about
a presidential election in these two don'tyou think ross that that's an interesting choice
of words to use when talking abouta Biden Trump of presidential race, considering

(01:10:08):
the the actions of one of thecandidates back in twenty twenty. Yeah,
I'm just like, so, nowhiding is the thing? Okay, all
right, I just want to beabundantly clear here. But it goes back
to literally what happened on that debatestage. If Donald Trump want to go
on a three week vacation, Ithink there's people within the Republican Party who
would like that, not because notyou know, not that within the three

(01:10:32):
weeks Trump would do something to blowthe election necessarily, but because it's well,
there would be vacation gate, I'msure, but screw them, but
ultimately they would have nowhere to pointthe cameras but at Biden. And it's
like we talked about with the youknow, the Napoleon thing. You know,

(01:10:54):
when you when you're basically when youropponent's screwing up, get out of
the way, man, shut up, don't do anything. So, whether
that's by design or it's just becauseof scheduling, who cares. If you
care because you think it's harming yourcandidate, then that's an admission that your
candidate is doing things that can harmthem. That's why that's a wild admission.

(01:11:20):
But everybody's having to, you know, all of a sudden reevaluate everything
that they were saying last week.Even there's a you know, democrats like
Mark Warner and others. Oh,I didn't mean. I didn't mean he's
got to go. And I saidhe's got to go. I meant we
got to go in a room sowe can have a discussion about how great
this is gonna be. You're alla bunch of hacks man. The Wadler's

(01:11:43):
back at Did you see the Wadleryesterday? Jerry Nadler, So, Jerry
Nadler, the pants, the Wadler, the several names. Now he's back
out there, and he had jumpedoff the Biden train. AOC referred to
Biden as genocide. Joe, Oh, can you walk that back, by
the way, Can you once you'vedubbed somebody genocide, whatever their name is,

(01:12:10):
can you hug it out? Iget you can. In the world
of politics. Look, if aguy can accuse your father of killing Kennedy
or whatever, and then you adorsehim, maybe I don't understand politics.
The Trump cruise reference it's wild man, but AOC, she's back on the
genocide. Joe Trace has spoken tothe President over the weekend. Yeah,

(01:12:31):
I have spoken with him extensively.He's clear then, and he has made
clear since that he is in thisrace. The matter is closed. He
had reiterated that this morning. Hehas reiterated that to the public. Joe
Biden is our nominee. He isnot leaving this race. He is in
this race and I support him.Okay now. And by the way,

(01:12:53):
she's a bad example because I don'tthink that AOC having a conversation with you
o'biden, that she has the abilityto evaluate whether he's an idiot, because
it would probably sound normal to her, do you know what I mean?
Like she's like he couldn't put wordstogether. He said things that were obviously

(01:13:16):
insane, and yes, don't looksnormal to me, because like, you're
not a good baseline, You're amoron. So that's, you know,
Franky, that's the strategy you needto round up like the ten dumbest members
of Congress have sit in a roomwith Joe and then have them wander out
and in using very small words thatthey have been extensively trained upon say Nope,

(01:13:42):
everything's fine, Everything's the goodest itcan be, which is an actual,
by the way, quote from Bidenfrom Morning Joe, or and he
used the term the goodest. Butyeah, for AOC, that's just normal.
So yeah, it is the goodest, low five or whatever. I

(01:14:03):
don't know, but you know that'sthat's where we're headed. But if you
need to going back to what myinitial point was, if if your problem
with your candidate looking dumb is theother guy isn't looking dumber, you got
you got bigger issues you need towork on. In fact, I know

(01:14:24):
Trump out of rally, we haveaudio, and you know that I'm a
big fan of the golf. Allof this golf insanity, right, I
challenge him to eighteen as Joe Biden, I challenge him to eighteen holes eighteen.
In fact, Ross, can youput up the the handicap stuff from
the that he said during the debateor no, we saw the page up,

(01:14:47):
actually don't we? Hold on?I knew I would get a use
from this. Hang on, Ohno, it's gone. Okay, I'm
sorry. Uh yeah, well,if you don't mind throwing that up there
like this has been an on goowing saga, which initially started with Joe
Biden saying that he would challenge DonaldTrump to a golf you know, eighteen
holes of golf, but only ifhe would carry his own bag, which

(01:15:14):
I don't understand. I don't understandthat little cat, because that's supposed to
be the punchline. Yeah, buthe's got to carry his own bag?
What what the hell are you talkingabout? That's the bigger issue here?
Does that mean you don't have tobecause most people were like, I want
to see Joe Biden carry a bagfor eighteen holes. No. Then it

(01:15:39):
morphed into this weird handicap argument whichbroke out literally during the debate. And
if you play golf at all andyou question a dude's handicap and he responds
like I'm gonna play the oh,thank you, and he responds like this.
Every guy who plays golf knows thatthe person who they're talking to,

(01:16:02):
their their buddy, is lying tothem. I don't know how to describe
it accurately on radio, but youknow how, you just know because they're
immediately backpedaling or qualifying. It's thewhole when you're explaining, you're already losing
thing and usually people fudge their handicapsthe other way, right, because you're

(01:16:27):
gonna go play a tournament, youdon't want your gin your handicap index to
be the lowest that it's ever been. So like, there's dudes who will
go out and screw it that thing, and if they don't, it's it's
a constant conspiracy around any golf club. It's true. So listen to this
from the debate is, Look,I'd be happy to have a driving contest,

(01:16:49):
yet m I got my handicapped.Okay, so now we're at a
driving contest only if they do theHappy Gilmour drive ross would you want it
if it was the Happy Gilmore Drivethey which By the way, everyone who
goes raise your hand if you've evertried it. Yes, the moment that

(01:17:11):
movie Cab was in high school,the moment that movie came out, Buffalo
Golf Club of Buffalo, Wyoming hadto ask us to not try to do
that because we it's it's so itwas so dangerous for a bunch of dumb
kids who thought we were Happy Gilmore. Anyway, all right, so we're
in a driving contest, go onyou. I was down to a six

(01:17:33):
and by by the way I toldyou before. I'm happy to play golf.
If you carry your on bag,you can sing do it. That's
the biggest line. There's a sixthhandicap of all, I was an eight
handicap. Eight. Sorry, Idon't know why I love this part so

(01:17:56):
much. Well, now it's morphedto a new thing. Are you ready
for this? And I because it'sall like a check bait or chess moves.
This whole thing. Here is Trumpfrom dral Or from his Florida rally.
He's referencing durral which is a core. If you ever fly into Miami
Airport and you almost exclusively you makethat approach from out over the Everglades,

(01:18:23):
when you make that landing approach,you you got just before you touch down,
you are directly over draw that golfcourse. In fact, during the
during the election. In fact,maybe they haven't now, because when I
flew through Miami the other week,I actually and it was very rare.
We landed from the water side.During the twenty sixteen election, they had

(01:18:47):
put a giant banner on top ofthe clubhouse vote vote Trump, which I
thought was funny, but so heBut it is a legendary course. It's
a very difficult course, but itis a legendary course. And Trump's like,
hey, we'll go over here.I got I happen to have a
golf course nearby, and let's dothis thing, all right. So,

(01:19:09):
but there's more to it. Andhere's what he said, and I can't
wait to see the next move.I'm also officially challenging crook of Joe to
an eighteen hole golf match right hereunderous Blue Monster, considered one of the

(01:19:29):
greatest tournament golf courses anywhere in theworld, one of the great courses of
the world. It will be amongthe most watched sporting events in history.
This is the part. This isthe part that if you don't like anything
about Trump, irritates the crap outof you. If you can find the
humor and stuff, this is themost amusing stuff. Would it be the

(01:19:50):
most watched sporting event in history?Not a chance. But listen to what
he says next, And it's justbecause it's about it's the huffrey of it
that makes me laugh, maybe biggerthan the Ryder Cup or even the Masters.
And I will even give Joe Bidenten strokes aside ten strokes that's a

(01:20:11):
lot. That means twenty strokes.In case you don't play golf, I'll
eat any of you strokes aside,And if he wins, I will give
the charity of his choice, anycharity that he wants, one million dollars.
That's great, man, right now, I mean, especially he knows

(01:20:32):
there's no way Biden could ever doit. No, no, not a
chance. But why wouldn't he tryfor the kids? Yeah? Why does
he hate the children? Yes?Look, ROSSI, you don't play golf,
right, I do not, ButI understand that it's a lot of
physical activity, especially if quote,you're going to be carrying your own bag.
So if Joe Biden's going to beout there and the Greens carrying his
own bag for eighteen holes, dude, bro is gonna die. No,

(01:20:56):
no, no, no, we'llgive him. We'll give them Senior Tour
rules or Champions Tour. They don'tcall it senior tour anymore, right,
I understand. Yeah, But Imean, so he can he can ride
in a car, no, no, no, I want this. He
can even ride in a cart.Yeah, he still can't do it.
But if we're going by his ownrules, he can't do it. Right,
there's hostile hands. But my pointis you don't play golf. You

(01:21:16):
would do this right for the children? Yeah? Million bucks? Yeah,
I give me a free trip downthere to Florida whatever wherever you take the
fan to, you know, oneof the amusement parks or whatever. When
you're done, whatever, right,because it's for the kids, it's for
charity. And and by the way, how a lot of these challenges work.
If you ever you ever see celebrityJeopardy where it's like whoever win,

(01:21:36):
whoever's the least of the the theleast idiot, the least of the idiots,
which sounds like I qualify, we'llgive your charity twenty five thousand.
And then when they get done,there's always that reveal they're like, all
right, for those of you whohave negative five thousand, because your morons,

(01:21:57):
We're still going to give your charityfive thousand. So that charity still
made money. So you know,Trump wout's come out and do it.
And even if it got to thething where they're like two holes in because
it's you and Trump, and he'sjust like, all right, mercy rule,
let's make I'm gonna write a checkfor one hundred thousand to the charity
of Ross's choice. You still wentout and did a good thing, right,
you guys supposed to. I meanit'll still be a million dollars for

(01:22:19):
the Hayes for sure. Got aglobal initiative fund. Yeah wait now yeah,
wait, now we're into possible criminalactivity here. Yes, it's because
it's for the kids. Actually,here's what you do. You want to
do this, right, show upin your lucha door mask. You still
have that, Yes, he does, I've got multiple ones, yes,
yeah, yeah, yeah. Ithink for this event I would wear the

(01:22:41):
red, went and blue with theeagles front. Ye, all right,
and then just rip it into thewoods. You won't have any trouble doing
it and be like, oh,man of shame, it's in the woods.
Let me go get my ball.And then you run in there.
And then moments later you come out. Uh, you go back. You
hit a provisional. I have toteach you the rules, and you're like,
damn, I gotta go play myprovisional. But once you emerge from
the woods, all of a sudden, you just you destroy Trump, right,

(01:23:05):
you just destroy him. Except oneighteen after you've opened about a five
stroke lead on the eighteen tea box, you rip it into the woods again.
You go in and get your ball, you pop out and uh you
d and you end up winning byone because now your approach and you're putting
is atrocious because I guess the pressureis getting to you. Rip off from

(01:23:27):
that. They spend a lot andit's tired, man, It's it been
a long day. Yes, andthen after you go and you high five
John Daily back at the clubhouse andwink and then you guys move on or
whatever. Right for the kids,these are things you can do for the
kids. So I guess I'll wantI wonder if he'll answer. I think
they've already answered. What do youmean? His people came out and said

(01:23:49):
they don't have times for silly gamesor whatever like Trump does, because they're
serious running. He's he's the onewho started it, right, wasn't the
initial The initial thing was Joe Biden'ssaying that he wants to play eighteen holes
of good right back, just likethe way that it was their idea to
start this debate, right, thisalso backfired. Well, yeah, this
would starts the debate, but literallycreate it in their own arright. I

(01:24:12):
mean, this is what they do. It's a shame. It would be
Look, a lot of people wouldwatch, but it would be for a
very short period of time because nobodywants to watch the ambulance, you know,
off to wherever. I wouldn't wantBiden doing it. I would honestly
be concerned for his health. Speakingof his health, apparently a member of

(01:24:32):
the military was also interested. Andnow all of a sudden, it's bad
for people to look for secret recordsabout the president. I'll explain that story
coming up next. Hang on,and by the way, you have to
go full jim Nance. Do youknow what I'm saying. You have to
Dottie Pepper's got to be there.Jim Nance has got to be there,

(01:24:56):
you know, just the whole restof the crew. It has to look
like the Master's production for the kids. And yeah, look, how could
you not watch it? But butyou know, you don't have the rest
of the world there, So Idon't know, but it sounds like it's

(01:25:17):
not gonna happen, even though theyliterally start. They're one of these kids,
you know, like they started itand then when you go to finish,
they're like, I can't believe whatyou're doing. So they literally,
So the Biden people said, hedoesn't have time. He can if he
was it, didn't he take anap instead of go to one of the
NATO meetings or something? Well,I think that's in the stack here today.

(01:25:39):
But yes, yeah, yeah,yeah, so he had he couldn't
go to a meeting as part ofthis thing because he quote had had to
take a nap, quoting this storynot necessarily the Biden people, dude,
you carve out a nap there,just I sent you the statement, what
a bunch of cowards. Now I'mupset. Here we go. It shows

(01:26:00):
up. Yeah, I love thisquote it Crystal, Oh, here we
go. She said this is themost caddyshack thing ever. So Rodney Dangerfield
and Judge Smalls, Oh yeah,except Smales is more coherent. But I'm

(01:26:21):
just thinking of all the great quotesfrom Smales. Dude, if even if
he only did half of it,and Biden's like, I never slice,
I would die laughing. So unfortunately, unfortunately, and fortunately maybe I'm wrong

(01:26:43):
on this, and if I am, that's okay, But I just I
can't see the event lasting long.But if you're gonna do it, do
it big, all right? Letme let me. I'm just waiting for
Russ's email too. Uh. Oh, no, I'm sorry I texted it
too. Oh you texted it tome. Okay, I'm I'm sitting there
staring at my inbox, stalling fortime. Okay, here it is,
dude, did you do check outthe games? Singer? That last paragraph?

(01:27:10):
Okay, all right, all right, but you couldn't find anything with
lesser resolution. Okay, here wego. Spokesman James Singer. Donald Trump
hasn't been seen in public in twelvedays, and now he's inviting fictional serial
killers to dinner. Yeah, he'sseen little Marco Rubio praising Project twenty twice.

(01:27:31):
That didn't happen. This guy isjust remember it used to be you
had to spin and it was likethe crime of omission was the worst that
spokespeople would get another. They juststraight up li Absolutely doesn't matter. Nobody's
gonna check it. We challenged DonaldTrump to create jobs, but he lost

(01:27:57):
three million COVID stand up to putin, but he bent the need to him.
Uh. He literally put the mostsanctions in of Russia post Cold War.
But you know you do you allright? Okay, here we go.
Joe Biden doesn't have time for DonaldTrump's weird antics. He's busy leading

(01:28:19):
America and defending the free world.If I didn't, if you were the
one who sent that to me,I would assume somebody had it was fake.
But also I recognize that idiot's name. Good lord man, you're the

(01:28:39):
one here. Dudes asked for it. He asked a guy who owns all
these golf courses like this. Ifhe wasn't serious, why would you do
that? What a shame? Man? The poor kids ross Do we know
if any of the kids are stillalive or very sad? Oh, they're
barely hanging on. Oh man,Tiny Tim over there, he'll be fine,

(01:29:02):
right, Tiny Tim is gonna befine. Right, get around.
You got another Christmas? I knowit's a little ways away, but I
hope Tiny Tim makes it. Areyou gonna hear something crazy? This is
one of those which you don't know, you don't know. And my mind
is blown this morning because I sawthis headline and I I did the tholl

(01:29:24):
that I wasn't I wasn't gonna Iwouldn't put it out to you until I
read it, But in my itwas at the last minute. This morning,
I'm pulling together some stuff, andthis headline crosses my path and I
made an assumption, and I'm hereto tell you my assumption was inaccurate.
This is in Oregon, uh Eugene, organ Okay. July third, a

(01:29:46):
search warrant served after a at theBrick Builders store in Eugene by police.
Here's what happened. A ring oftheft was was occurring. There is a
warehouse and a retail store. Iguess it serves not just Eugene, but

(01:30:06):
kind of that Oregon, Washington,Northern California for the Lego company. And
this ring, this heighst ring,had stolen two hundred thousand dollars in Legos.
And I'm like, I just assumedthey had to be like first edition

(01:30:30):
Millennium falcon Or. I had anat at when I was a kid.
I didn't just have the toys.You could get the Lego thing too,
And you know, it's one ofthose things where you think about your childhood
toys and what they must be worth. Now I was wrong. They didn't.
They weren't stealing stuff out of adisplay case that was a high end

(01:30:50):
collectible. They were stealing current Legosets that are sold at Target fred Myers,
Barnes and Noble, Walmart, allthese different places that you could go
out and buy your kids. Rightnow, many of the sets, and
this is the line that I couldn'twrap my head around, retail on average

(01:31:12):
from between four hundred add eight hundredand fifty dollars. Shut up, there
are eight hundred and there's there's Legosets in the hundreds, is what my
brain said. You're telling me thereare eight hundred and fifty dollars Lego sets
that you, as a parent couldhave your kid put on their Christmas list

(01:31:34):
this year, causing you to probablyget an ulcer. That is that is
insane to me. And by theway, you want to know what the
eight hundred which is currently the mostexpensive Lego set is the Millennium Falcon.
They have done several iterations of thisover the years. It's one of the

(01:31:57):
most popular of all time, andthe current which was released to coincide with
the I Guess the end of theLast the Jedi series is the largest ever
offered and continues to be for saleand retail for eight hundred and fifty dollars

(01:32:21):
for a Lego set. Also,how the dollar amount now makes sense because
I initially was like, first Ithought it was collectibles, But then if
you'd have told me it's retail legos, I'm like, how low on the
totem pole? Are you as atheft ring? You're like, all right,
well they're doing diamonds. Those guysare knocking off that casino. What

(01:32:45):
we are we gonna steal? Howabout Legos? Well, now that I
know that Hogwarts Express is four hundredand fifty dollars the train, I think
the castle's more than that or not? The cat that guy, I guess
is it a castle or a schoolerboth? I guess it's both. That
is wild. It's crazy. Youwalk up and down the toy aisle,

(01:33:08):
right, and it's you wouldn't thinkso. But legos are one of those
toys now where they have them likewrapped up in the in the plastic that
don't steal me, don't steal mething. Yeah, legos not not like
a PS five, but the PSfive also has it, but it's not
like an excess Legos. Well that'sbasically more expensive than a PS five.

(01:33:30):
Those things. I just say,what's a PS five four hundred bucks?
Right? I have four five hundreddollars yeah, I the Hogwarts, the
two Hogwarts things I just mentioned.They're both basically the same price, and

come with the iceberg? I'm almostalmost I bet you it does? Hold
on? All right? Sold on? Then only a description? There are
well, there are no mini figures. That's probably a good decision. Just
the Titanic itself with all its riggings. The iceberg is probably extra. So

(01:34:44):
yeah, it's not in an extraHow hard would it be for an iceberg?

I never I never got into legos. I had. I had some old
school legos, but the problem wasmy mom instituted a policy if it was

if it's out, it's gone.Yeah, I tell you a funny story.
So she and she held to it. My mom said she was gonna
she smashed her Nintendo with a hammermm hmm, and I yeah, and
maybe we have all we have powertools. I thought she was going to

(01:36:11):
hit the bands, but but thelegos would disappear. So I had,
like lego sets with like random piecesmissing, and my sister, who was
absolutely gonna get in trouble, wentin and found that my mom had him
in a baggie in a drawer anda dresser we weren't supposed to get in,
and my sister, being the legalgenius, she was called by mom

(01:36:32):

actually runs them. So yeah,that's what, Yeah, it is all

(01:36:53):

Yeah. Some showers, thunder showers, especially for the Triangle East today,
a little less humid air coming intothe west with a front, but still
in the areas that are under theheat advisory, a little bit nineties will
feel close to one o five,maybe to one ten. So another dangerously
hot day today Thursday, Friday,scattered showers, thunderstorms, got a week
carry low pressure developing, which withinthe last twenty minutes the Hurricane Center actually

(01:37:17):
has slapped on a ten percent chanceof that developing as it moves in to
the southeastern ust here by the upcomingweekend. So unsettled for the beaches over
the next few days. If youare heading out to the beaches, I'll
be able to look out for rain, thunderstorms, maybe some gusty winds.
At this point, low chance ofa depression or storm to develop, but
we'll keep an eye on it.Okay, thank you so appreciate it,
and Jeff Bellinger joins us next.Hang on, Oh morning, Casey,

Siate o. Kid, have agood day, yep. Jeff Pellinger
their Bloomberg News. You know I'vetalked about not knowing what you don't know?
Do you guys? How did younot know what trash cans in New
York were? Why did I justfind out yesterday that New Yorkers don't use

(01:39:05):
trash cans? What the hell wasgoing on in right? So listen,
when I went with vacation right thispast June, that week of Juneteenth,
I went back home during the heatdome of doom up there in New York.
All right, can you pop pausefor SI. I just let people
know this is based on Eric Adamsholding the Mayor of New York, held
a press conference to unveil trash cans, and it was he did it very

(01:39:26):
smartily, walked over the bag oftrash, dropped it in the can and
went, look what we're gonna evolvetoo. And I'm like, wait,
you don't know what that is?All right? So anyway back to this
right, So it's like Tuesday orWednesday's trash day and Mom's like, can
you take out the trash the curb? Like, yeah, I'll do that,
So go out. And my dadway back in the day, like
I'm saying, like back in likenineteen ninety three ninety four we moved into
that house. He got some youknow, plastic bins that we put the

(01:39:50):
trash can. So I start draggingthe plastic bins to the curb, these
old blue ones, the same oneswe use back in the day. But
I look down the string and everybodyelse it's just black bags piled up on
the curb in no no bin orno trash can. I'm like, what
is this about. Mom's like that'swhat they're doing. They just put them
out in the carib in the blackand they're disgusting of that gross And so

(01:40:12):
my dad back in the day waslike, we're not doing that because of
animals and stuff. I'm gonna puthim here and then you could put them
in the in the garbage truck.But apparently that's not a thing for most
people in New York that I hadcompletely forgotten about. And it is gross
and disgusting, just these nasty trashbags in the curb piling up. Dude,
it's so nasty you would you woulddie where I'm from. I told

(01:40:33):
you already that we would have tothe amount of lockdown if I did not
snap all the bungee cords on theon our bins. Now we had,
right, right, We also havethe bungee cords back home, yes,
right, but because bears man andmy mom. I told you, my
little tiny mom would run out witha pot and pan and a spoon beat

(01:40:54):
on it to scare it off thelittle black bears. But you know you
got other bigger bears around there.I can't imagine just throwing a bag of
garbage on the curve and not assumingthat you're probably not gonna get eaten.
But it wouldn't be destroyed. It'sjust so gross. Did you see the
update on that story yesterday? What'sthe Oh, what's the update? They
came out with how much it cost. They there was some actually things predictable

(01:41:15):
the cost of it. So thecity went to this organization to test to
see, like you know, withthe trash cans help and they said yes
they would, and the bill forthe city was four million dollars.
