Episode Transcript

(00:00):
If I sound less than fully rested, it is because I continue to fight
the battle bug, not be sickbug. But you know, the the
story from Monday, so that continuesto be fun. Apparently they found some
reinforcements, so but you know,it's a it's a process. So that

(00:24):
is uh, that is super fun. But you know, we'll truck through
this. We've got enough dumb stuffto keep me awake. And that's not
just the some of the political stories. We have a few kickers. We
have a Florida well, I guesstechnically the Florida man's whole cogan, So
we'll get the hulkster. Got astory there. Let's see here, just

(00:45):
kind of scanning over. Oh man, dude, I am fascinated by the
the evolution of cryogenic freezing. Butit makes sense and it's a plot point
in time travel movies all the time. So the fact that they're only now
thinking of it, we'll get intothat. Let's see Mark Robinson in the

(01:15):
news for giving the new it isa brand new award in North Carolina,
a medal of honor for first responders. So of course, rather than you
know, honoring the individual getting theaward, we got to turn it into

(01:38):
why do you want to murder yourpolitical opponents? Because you just knew it
was going to go there. AndI love it when a story re emerged,
or a story emerges that allows meto jump back in the way back
machine with you and wint out howI was right, And once again I

(02:00):
right. I did tweet on ityesterday, so some of you got a
little teaser, but I'll explain what'sgoing on there. Aoc for two days
in the row is in the news, and once again it's not for being
smart and uh oh yeah, oneam I oh eight oh five, Nerd
corresponded Stephen Kent. He'll join usand we get a few things to get

(02:27):
into now. I still have notseen any of the Acolyte, but every
week I do see headlines of people'sthoughts and tweets, but also like review
stuff, and it would lead meto believe that somehow every episode continues to

(02:52):
get worse. That's the conclusion Ihave, but I have not viewed it.
And then ray State is like,no, it's amazing. Steven is
you know he's a fan of basicallyall the Star Wars products, which I
get. Look, some people arejust gonna nerd out on this stuff.
So I guess I'm kind of curiouswhat the breaking point is, right when

(03:15):
are you just like, nah,I'm out. That's it. You ever
walked away from a show that wasthat was it, it was your big
show, it was the thing thatyou loved more than anything, and then
just one day you're like, Ican't take it anymore. That's that's right.

(03:37):
I mean, that's a that's thething. If you if you put
in like five years, I remembersome people with lost, although you kind
of had to get to the end. I mean, it doesn't count.
If you get to the end.You gotta do it. Like well,
there's still I don't know, fivesix episodes left, Like Game of Throne
Season A really doesn't count because everyonemade it till those last you know,

(04:00):
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna spoilit. If you haven't watched it.
It's by the way, it's fine. I know some people are gonna be
it. It's fine because the seriesis phenomenal. But sometimes you just gotta
you gotta pull up stakes. Now. Sometimes it could be they change actors.
What was the Charlie Sheen show twoand a half men? Right,

(04:24):
So he's out because he got intoa fight with the producer. Kutcher comes
in. I don't even know howmany seasons they did with Kutcher. There
wasn't much, so that doesn't counteither. But I think that's how it
was with Walking Dead. But youmade it till the end, didn't I
know? I did not like they. Rick left the show, and it

(04:46):
was soon thereafter. I was like, I'm out. Oh I in my
mind, I was like, no. I think he watched the whole thing,
and he kept chugging along and checkingalong. And now for some reason,
Darryl, I guess, is inFrance or something. Darryl's in Paris,
so they have French zombies. Yeah, they made the truck across the
Atlantic. That's all I know.And Rick is back with Micheonone or something.
I don't care. How hard arethe French zombies, you know what

(05:12):
I mean? And I'm not evengonna do this surrender thing like you ever
see French people who have anything todo during the day. Not really,
It's a pretty lase fair. There'sa reason it's called lase fair. Right,
So we'll pick his brain with ourNERD corresponded segment. George Clooney,

(05:39):
all the scene waters and oh mygoodness, if you thought the college moon
bat Gaza Hamas protesters with their kerchiefsand their face covered because they're you know,
concerned about safety, you thought theones that we had here in the
US were doozy, And don't getme wrong, they are London stepping up.

(06:05):
Dude. Yeah, have we gothave we got a piece of audio
for you? Apparently there was therewas some sort of arrest as per usual.
It was completely unwarranted and bigotry andracism and all theisms are involved,
and they have video and they're they'recalling each other comrades. So you just

(06:30):
you just know whatever's gonna be coming, it's gonna be great and it does
not disappoint. In fact, youknow what, Let's do this. We'll
take a break, come back andwe'll start today's rapid fire bucket of weirdness.
There's no way else to describe it. Stack of stories. Next on
the CaCO Day Radio program, CaCODay Radio Program, and boy, okay,

(06:56):
all right, off to London.Off to London and this insanity and
by this insanity I mean basically ColumbiaUniversity Hamas protesters holding insane press conferences.
Everything is everything stacked against them,their freedom fighters, their comrades, but

(07:18):
with a British accent. So Idon't know. I guess maybe it's different
that way. Specifically, what wasthe university? Well, it doesn't matter.
It's one of the colleges in London. I don't really care. You
don't care. You just want tohear the audio. I promise you.
Let us do this thing. PoliceForces hospitalize one of our comrades. Male

(07:42):
officers touched a disabled Muslim trans personof color without consent. Well, I'm
sorry, what, Ross, doyou have the checklist thing and free grab
the checklist thing? All right?That's the that is the that is the
intersectionality, diversity and checklist. It'skind of like the ones that they,

(08:03):
you know, like to slip kidsin school and go, oh are bad?
All right? So if you couldcheck from each of the categories here,
let's do this. Police Forces hospitallies one of our comrades. Mail
officers touched as the same You knowwhat, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

(08:24):
I know you. Ross was gettingready to write, I said, I
said they called each other comrades.I apparently was wrong. What is a
comrade? Is that a raid bycommunists? So is there still very confused?
I'm sorry, we got to checkboxes. Let's do this. Police
Forces hospital lies one of our comrades, mail officers touched a disabled Muslim transpuss.

(08:50):
Well, I would point out,I'm sorry, Ross is still right.
I don't worry. We'll get toit. That might be the fastest
anyone got to see a doctor withthe NIH. So you know, I'm
making lemonade forgetting lemons. All right, this time we will get through the
checklists. Police Forces hospitalize one ofour comrades. Male officers touched a disabled

(09:16):
Muslim transperson of color without consent andrefuse to give them medical treatment and attention,
and then for over an hour,proceeded to obstruct the ambulance from leaving
with the injured comrade, who wasin and out of consciousness. Okay,
I'm just gonna pause. We won'trestart it. Obstructing an ambulance huh with

(09:37):
protests, but now you have aproblem with that, huh? Okay,
all right, anyway, go ahead. Ah Whilst mocking and laughing at them
and purposefully misendering them, all thesecrimes by London Met's brutal force are filmed
and documented by numerous witnesses in full. They feel that they can act with
impunity. It's time to show themthat the people are de monding for justice.

(10:03):
Okay, let me uh, letme ask something. Uh And and
look, I understand that even withinthe UK police force over there Scotland Yard,
they got door kickers, they gotswat, they got all you know,
so they got they got legit andI'm not they got says dudes rolling
into that. That's fine, I'mnot talking about that. But your standard

(10:26):
Bobby or whatever? Do they stillcall him that? I don't even know.
This is that when when you envisiona brutal law enforcement officer, is
that who it is? Is?That? Is it the copper? The
copper on the stroll spinning the batonwith the pith helmet looking thing. Did

(10:48):
you see the Scotland Yard dude gettinglit up and his partner just by some
mirando dude on the street. Therewas a video I don't know, like
a month ago. All right,how many boxes did we get? All
right, let's get the grand totalin here, figure this out, and

(11:11):
that's all of them right by mymath that that might be the frist that's
the that's literally what is joked about? Right? When somebody ticks like three
of them, you're like, well, the only way you're gonna lose the
uh you know, the intersectionality offis if it is a gay, Muslim,

(11:33):
transpurs handicapped or some like I can'tremember everything that needs to go in
there, and like they nailed iton the first take. Also, what's
the beef with the male officers?Who's uh gender? You're assuming when you
don't tell me the transgender nature ofyour comrade, how am I supposed to

(11:58):
judge? In fact? Uh?You know, war crimes were committed police
forces hospitalize one of our comrades.Male officers touched a disabled Muslim trans person
of color without consent? Is thereanything missing? I don't believe there's anything
missing, So congrats on that.Look our protest, this is you know

(12:24):
what this is. This is kindof the beef I have with the uh
the topless female protesters. I willacquiesce that when I see you know,
out of control, you know,topless feminists with you know, black words
painted over their chesticles in in theUS, and then I see them like

(12:46):
over in Croatia. It's not evena contest, but I'm I'm willing to
listen to what the crow At womenare mad about. It's probably insanely fixable
too, Whereas you know, yougot to have perpetual grievances to keep the
dream alive over here. But stillwe're not bringing our best and brightest.

(13:13):
Are are our perkiest, and sureas hell not our thinnest. So I
feel like UK just pulled into alead and I hate to see that.
We're on the eve of the Olympics. Man, it's we got competition run
through our veins. We should takeinspiration from the soccer riot that we had

(13:35):
in North Carolina last night. Didyou guys know we had a soccer riot
in North Carolina? Was there toiletinvolved? No? Ah, very no,
Yes, that was my thing too. I'm like, oh my gosh.
Bank of America Stadium hosting one ofthe semi finals for Copa. We're
not in it because we lost toUruguay, which was one of the teams

(14:00):
they're playing Colombia, who don't haveparticular beef with each other. They're not
anywhere near each other, buddy.It got crazy Bank of yet, you
know, And that's that's the levelof passion that's the that's the level of
passion you're gonna see with you know, with uh, you know, Latin

(14:24):
American soccer fans, not just them, you got Scottish soccer hooligans. Stuff
can get crazy over in uh inSoutheast Asia too. So I don't want
to uh want to leave anybody outhere. Yeah. So Colombia beat Uruguay
won nothing. After the final whistle, players from both teams got into a

(14:48):
heated altercation on the field. Hadto be separated. Things build over,
of course, into the stands,because that's the rule. When your teams
by, you have to fight.You know, you gotta, you gotta
show up for your team. Man. I think I'm gonna go h old

(15:09):
sherman on him. That's my plan. Now we're gonna go. We're gonna
go full, get out of thehouse, the whole thing for a for
a period of time, because Iam not here for the slow game.
I want decisive victory, victory againstyou know, insert whoever it is,
the Nazis, the Japanese, uh, you know, the Japanese Air Force

(15:35):
and Navy, my my political opponents. Well that's according to W. R.
E. L. And apparently others. What Mark Robinson said, Remember
we played the audio. Let's goahead and do that again, and I'll
explain what happened yesterday. Kim somequestions again, he is the hold on

(15:58):
wrong one. Here we go.Here is Mark Robinson speaking at a church,
and of course it was then littleClippy Clippy to some of this turned
into the newest Mark Robinson wants toyou know, incite violence meme ajore by

(16:18):
some really dishonest people who frankly shouldhave better ideas than this, Like there's
a there's a b. I'm notgonna tell you what it is. There's
a far better way to use thisfor political points because you've gone so far.
I looked at many of the tweets, including uh the chairwoman of the
party, Anderson Clayton and like peoplewho have vote blue no matter who,

(16:45):
or even like eh yeah, noright, and if you've lost vote blue
no matter who, hashtag dude who. If you go look at his replies,
is it just trolls can conservatives allday? I don't know what you're
doing, all right, So here'swhat Robinson actually said, and then we'll

(17:06):
get to the update. We nowfind ourselves struggling with people who have evil
intents. You know, as atime when we used to meet evil on
the battlefield. And just to beclear, when we're talking about people with
evil intent, these to be peoplewho rape and kill children, or people
who murder other you know, goout and murder people for six dollars in

(17:30):
the till or whatever it is.Okay, but this is where we start,
So let's start here. We nowfind ourselves struggling with people who have
evil intents, you know as atime when we used to meet evil on
the battlefield. And guess what wedid to it. We killed it.
We didn't quibble about it. Wedidn't argue about it, we didn't fight

(17:52):
about it. We killed it.When the Japanese bob Pearl harbor, what
do we do? We flew toJapan and we killed the Japanese army and
navy. We didn't even quibble aboutit. I didn't start this fight.
You did. You wanted to beleft alone. You should have left me
alone. We didn't argue and capitulateand talk about, well maybe we should

(18:14):
and fight the Nazis that hard.No, they're bad. Killed him better
be fair. Neville Chamberlain did makethat argument. But you know, anyway,
I'm sorry go ahead. Some liberalssomewhere is gonna say that sounds awful
too bad. Get mad at meif you want to. Some folks need

(18:40):
killing, all right, so anda little order of operation thing there.
But there's two things that Mark's talkingabout, as I understand it now,
I believe most people understand it.One the really nefarious with the you know,
doing horrible things to children group,which I would like to think we

(19:00):
could agree, but I had towatch the California testimony. I didn't run
the audio the other day, butwhere they were arguing that we shouldn't have
a law that has an accelerated penaltyfor buying a child for sex because it

(19:22):
would quote unfairly target the LGBTQ community. Those were actual arguments being made,
which, frankly, if you're mostin the LGBTQ community, that should upset
you that people who are like posingas your allies are in saying that.

(19:45):
But I digress. And then he'stalking about the concept of evil, and
you don't just kill evil with abullet. You kill it with ideas,
you kill it with structure, youkill it with religion. Right, not

(20:07):
everything has to be at the atthe you know, the end of the
barrel of a gun. But theway that Mark said it allowed those perfect
clip points. So here we findourselves. So fast forward to yesterday.
The State of North Carolina has abrand new award that they can provide to

(20:29):
first responders. Okay, all right, and yesterday was the very first ceremony.
In fact, is I scroll allthe way down in the wil article
too. I'm counting paragraphs here.I was gonna do this before and then
I forgot, so just bear withme. Okay, all the paragraphs.

(20:53):
Some things still going on, allright, So basically Robinson's there giving you
or And it was said as theywere getting started by uh, I don't
know if I honestly, I don'tknow who said it, because I was
gonna say Lonigan is his campaign guy, and this was an official action by

(21:15):
the Lieutenant governor. So but whateverit was, it was said, hey,
uh, when we're done with this, if you have any questions about
the award, or even you know, perhaps the individual who is out there
saving lives and doing such an effectivejob of it, we're going to bestow
this honor upon them. Well,we're gonna do those because this is an

(21:37):
awards ceremony for this, for thisindividual, and of course they get done
and here we go. They startfiring questions out, who do you want
to who's on your who's on yourdeath list? And Robinson wasn't having any
of it, not havn't any ofit at all. In fact, he

(22:02):
he did not hold back Kim somequestions. Again, he is the Republican
candidate for governor. It was afteran event, and this is how it
went. That's what you got outof this. There's your answer. Shame,
that's what it is, pure shape. Yeah, shame, you should
be He didn't do the shame shamewith the bell, but yeah, and

(22:26):
then that became the story. Goto ral you should be ashamed, Robinson
tells reporters as he declines to answerquestions. Well, technically, he declined
to answer questions outside of the scopeof what he said. Now here's the
deal, because I am one ofthose people that is often critical of politicians

(22:47):
who you know, I don't know, like Joe Biden right where he has
staff that literally is trained to allyell and unison when something is over and
the rees and they're doing that isnot because the media needs ten people saying
thank you to them, they're doingit so on the off chance, so
one Biden can't hear questions yelled athim because God forbid he answers them.

(23:14):
And if he does, try toanswer him, now you still got the
yelling. So maybe they're not goingto be able to roll tape on whatever
he says. So like, Iunderstand the frustration, but I also understand
self inflicted wounds. And if youremember back to all the COVID insanity,
I had me a little prediction,just a reminder. The digital press,

(23:38):
you know, the digital press conferencesaccess to the governor by the States media
was actually run through a program thatwas designed by a blue group, a
Democrat group, and it allowed thevarious reporters who want to get a question

(23:59):
in to be thrown into a varietyof cues. And it just seemed that
what many would consider, we'll say, at the very I'll give credit that,
you know, perhaps their son thatthey would consider more often down the
middle. But that was maybe oneor two. The rest were you know,

(24:26):
Roy Cooper fanboys man, and theygot the quest every week, they
got the questions, and I can'ttell you the number of folks that were
sitting there just wanted to ask aquestion, even some people that you wouldn't
even look at and go, oh, they work for a conservative outlet,
a couple of folks you're familiar withfrom the show ap dyllon right with North

(24:48):
State journal I don't know that theyever got a question ever through all of
that. And the thing that Isaid was, this is so obvious to
everyone what's going on. And ifyou are one of the outlets getting a
question, why is your question not? Why is it that half of my

(25:15):
colleagues haven't been allowed to ask aquestion? Standing up for journalism, standing
up for even if even if youdon't personally like them, even if you
think that they have bias, becausethey think you do too. But at
the end of the day, thatis somebody else who's standing there with their
morants, their notepad, whatever itis, coming in to do their job

(25:41):
virtually, of course, and it'sclear what's happening here. And I didn't
hear and correct me if I'm wrong. Ross. Do you remember any reporter
asking the governor why other people aren'tgetting questions? No, And that would
have been the time to do it. And I said, if you don't
do that, it's gonna come backto bite you. Well, here it

(26:03):
is, whether you like it ornot. And I'm gonna read this paragraph.
He hold on, nay, Igotta read the good one. Well,
dam it is the one I tweeted. Did they literally move that paragraph
from when I pulled it? Oh, that's delicious. It must be all
right. They may have moved itin there. Let's go back to the

(26:25):
to the old Twitter account. Whatwhat you're seeing right now is ri l
really wants to talk to Mark Robinson, Which isn't that hard? Ross right?
We just we call him then everycouple of weeks right comes on the
show. I don't know what thebig whoop is there he is, but

(26:45):
he's not taking him and he's nottaking them in the same fashion, although
in this case now it's a nationaloutrage, in the same fashion that Roy
Cooper sat there and said, I'mnot going to do unfriendly media got a
chance, and it is absolutely stickingin their craw man, absolutely sticking in

(27:10):
their craw Here we go. Here'sthe paragraph. Wil later asked for an
interview with Robinson. A spokesman forthe Lieutenant Governor's office didn't respond. Mike
Lonigrinn Lanergen sorry, I always saidthat extra r who is the campaign person?
Right, So they went to bothgatekeepers, declined the request, said

(27:33):
you will not be getting an interview, and then in an email said in
the email said and probably not anytimesoon either. Well there you go.
You think your cohorts, and bycohorts, I mean the folks that you

(27:53):
wouldn't stick up for so that therewas quote natural order to this. You
think they give two flow that youcan't get an interview. This is this
is exactly that, and they don'tlike it. And it's just I guess
the fact that it's not virtual.They'll try to claim that it's some sort

(28:15):
of well it's it's different, No, it's not. Reporters had good questions.
They had good questions that weren't beingasked while the rest of us were
sitting here pulling our damn hair outwatching those press conferences, and nobody's challenging
Cooper or Mandy Cohen, even whenshe literally because they had a wide shot

(28:38):
which they fixed. That does thefake mask thing? Remember the fake mask
thing with Mandy Cohen where she's notwearing one and they're little gaggle back there
and then right as she's off tothe side, which, by the way,
is even more insulting because there arethere are other people in the room,
maybe not reporters, but like staffand stuff. And so they see

(29:00):
the person who was supposed to besetting the standard do the theater with the
mass right, she puts it onliterally in one motion, almost doesn't get
her hand away from it, stepsonto the podium and removes their damn thing,
and you could see it all becausethey had the white shot. People
might have questions about that, andthose are legitimate questions. The very guidance

(29:26):
that you're not just telling people theyhave to follow, but you're telling them
they have to follow under rule oflaw. At the end of a gun.
You yourself don't even practice when you'reat an event to promote it.
Look at that. I'm not evena beat reporter, and I think that

(29:48):
question. I promised that question wason the minds of reporters. None they
got to ask questions, but theones who were out there this is this
is this. I told you,this is a de evolution of this.
When I started doing talk radio,I used to the show I worked on

(30:10):
we had We had Keith Ellison andMichelle Bachman. Basically whenever we wanted them,
and they could. Those those membersof Congress could not have been further
from each other, but they stilldid it. And you know, and
and what it brought about too wasnot pure attacks. It brought about some
good questions, of good conversations.Those days are gone. I was blown

(30:33):
away when I came to North Carolinaand tried to book a few Democrats,
even tried to book a certain Republicansenator until he needed some and saw how
that went. But like it's itis a wild de evolution of the norms.
And uh, you just don't likeit when it's your turn getting your

(30:55):
medicine. And I have zero sympathyfor you. But had you argue and
asked that question, I would saythat Mark Robinson should talk to you.
But now, like I tell otherpoliticians, why would you, it's gonna
be a hatchet job, So goodon them. Six fifty two. Hang
on, all right, I promisedrapid fire. We will continue a reminder,

(31:18):
though we'll get into some NERD conversationswith our NERD correspondent Stephen Stephen Kemp.
He'll join us at eight o five. Ummmm, I can't wait to
talk about this Nicholas Cage story.It's funny. So you guys, you,
you Ross, You and the wifearrived at the same conclusion. Huhn't
you have the story about dead NicholasCage versus live Nicholas Cage, because uh

(31:45):
yeah, but it is. Itis a rather interesting question because you're not
you're not necessarily gonna be dealing withthe star. They may have something in
their will, but you know,for the most part, dealing with the
families. And if you're a familyof somebody who's very famous and you've got
name, image, likeness, we'veseen some massive exploitation over the years.

(32:10):
Right, they're just going to runthe memory of their decease, and they're
doing it because they want to keephis memory alive and them in the latest
m series every year. But that'llbe an interesting conversation, all right,
back to back to a few thingsthat might be slightly more important, maybe

(32:31):
not, and in on where whereyour head's at on this. So the
George Clooney insanity Clooney held look andthis is kind of like Mike Johnson or
Mike Johnson the former speaker, excuseme, said Mike Johnson, not the
current speaker. The former speaker whosaid that like Jill Biden or Jill Biden

(32:52):
was in policy meetings, and it'slike, you know what, I'm glad
they threw you out on your buttfor not telling anybody. That's insane.
But I digress. So with GeorgeClooney, he just held a presser,
all right, excuse me, afundraiser three weeks ago with Joe Biden,
and he has some thoughts, buthe only has the thoughts yesterday. And

(33:17):
that's what's kind of irritating. It'slike because in his statement saying, you
know, I love me some Joe, but no, he literally cites the
fundraiser and said, you know,the Joe that I remember versus the Joe
that I saw three weeks ago,or the Joe I saw at the debate

(33:38):
That ain't the Joe I know.Well, then why didn't you say something
three weeks ago? Dude? Whydidn't you like as the fundraiser because I'm
sure he talked to him right atthe begin Well we know he did,
because it's in the statement. Andwhy didn't you evaluate the situation? Go,

(34:00):
we have made a grave mistake,but you didn't you let it play
out? You were willing to letit play out. So and I don't
particularly mind George. I understand thathe's political, but he doesn't make me
hate him with his poll when whenhe is political? Does that sound Does

(34:21):
that sound like a weird standard?H Although the one time I did enjoy
watching Clooney kind of eat Crow wasin that that super that Trump super cut
video, right, and it's thatsection where they're like, he'll never be
president. Right, you got theand Coulter cut, you got Barack Obama
with the mic drop. If youremember, Clooney was one of them who

(34:43):
was who was in there and Ican't remember where he was speaking, maybe
an award show or White House correspondence, but the point was, yeah,
that was that was a little hah. Clooney wants to go out and do
his stuff, fine, but ifhe didn't say anything three weeks ago and
you just said, it's the sameas the the debate, you're not the
hero here. That being said,they could not abide that over at the

(35:09):
Biden campaign, and to hear theirresponse, I think it will be more
fun if we play the audio ofthe CNN panel with host Jake Tapper and
about three other nitwits sitting around,all of which look like they would rather

(35:29):
be reporting live from Gaza with nopress indication or body armor for that matter,
or even a dumb helmet. Theywant to be anywhere but in that
room. But this is your bed. You made it. And Tapper's response

(35:52):
is kind of funny. Check thisout. And in response to those comments
from George Clooney, Dick, acampaign official who attended that law Sandela's fundraiser,
tells me that George Clooney left threehours before the president. So clearly
the gloves are off Jake. Butwhat does that mean that George Clooney left
for What's what's the point. Thepoint of that is to suggest that Biden's

(36:13):
stamina is better than Clooney's and Clooneydidn't have, you know, eyes on
the entire event. That's the responseto the Clooney out ed. Okay,
keayle Coshley, thanks so much,appreciate. So Tapper is literally laughing,
and you know the big difference,by the way, if I could just
Biden, I don't think George Clooneyleft to go take a nap. I

(36:38):
think he probably I don't know who'she's married to. That human rights lawyer
so I don't want to be asuper pig about it, but I envision
if you're a Hollywood star like GeorgeClooney, even at the age that he's
at, which is almost nothing inHollywood and definitely nothing when you're standing next
to Biden. Right, he couldhave just as easily left to go to

(36:58):
NOBU and up with supermodels, right, But a nap was not the thing
he left for. You know,like you didn't go to the first NATO
meeting evening meeting because you had togo to bed different, different stuff.
Now to the panel of Doom,not because they're going to bring the doom,

(37:19):
but because they look like the doomhas been brought to them. But
these are the same Nitwitz who hadbeen the ultimate chure leaders throughout this whole
thing. Here we go, KarenFinny, Yeah, okay, I will.
I know it's your favorite topic.I look, it just seems like
every day is going to be likethis, with people saying he should drop

(37:44):
out, people that are Democratic Partystalwarts. Storge Clane gets nothing out of
this. This is I mean,what is he what does he gained?
The only reason to do this isbecause he feels like he needs to convey
this, Yes, how does thisend? So let's stipulate to the facts
that this is not good. Thisis bad. Let's just say the obvious,

(38:05):
right, thank you. That issome that's some good analysis right there.
We just this is this is bad. I don't know what do you
enjoy more? Watching do you enjoywatching the come up is amongst the panelists?
Or or like what was it GovernorPritzker with the open mic yesterday?

(38:30):
Or watching which Hollywood moon bats willdouble down now mad at these folks because
that seeing who's still in the fightwhen when like Reiner's out, Blooney's out,
who some some pretty big stalwarts areout. Michael Douglas is out now,

(38:52):
Michael oh, Michael Oh, holdon, Michael Douglas is canceled by
you. And he's a spry seventynine years old. So hey, I
just watched him on the Apple TVlaying waste to the French prostitution scene,
the Ben Franklin thing. I thinkit's pretty good. He was pretty good.
So anyway, yeah, so BenFranklin's out. Is that what you're

(39:15):
saying, oh man, to loseour greatest president ever. That's a joke.
By the way, don't call theshow an attempt to correct. All
right, Michael Douglas is out.Yeah, So are you more interested when
you see Douglas or Clooney do thator are you more interested to see the

(39:36):
people they work with than scream atthem? Because that's fascinating. Who is
it you said Favreau was all butheard over this? Yeah? Yeah,
as Recline came out with the reportthat you know, he's been talking to
a lot of Dems. They don'twant to go in the record, but
like you know, high profile damsin the Senate in the House that are
like, hey, you know,we don't want to We are against Biden.

(39:57):
We think you should drop out,but we don't want to real in
our career, so we're gonna lethim stay in. We think he's gonna
lose, and we're fine with Trumpwinning because we don't actually think he's an
existential crisis or threat to democracy.We just sort of say that because it's
the political thing to say. Andthat's what you realize is there's so many
people now that are just completely dumbfoundedby what happened because they truly believe,
just like they did with COVID,that everything they hear from CNN and MSNBC

(40:21):
in the news, and the mainstreammedia is one hundred percent of the truth
and accurate. And that's why they'reso confused right now because you have people
that are like, well, youtold me just two weeks ago that Joe
Biden was sharp as attack and thesewere all you know, the GOP right
wing deep fakes or a cheap fakes, cheap fakes. Yeah, and you've
also told this simultaneously that Donald Trumpis an existential threat to democracy. You've

(40:42):
been hearing this since, you know, since Biden was inaugurated right January?
Well, which one? Is itall long before that? Yeah, they
believe it because they're told it completely. They completely believe it. So they
don't know what to do right now. They're at a loss. Well,
I'm glad that. I'm glad thatof them aren't. So I could it
because I have an idea for asegment. You're ready for this, So

(41:05):
the segment would just be and what'sone of the Fox shows has a stunt
boy? Remember Waters used to beBill O'Reilly's. Does it do any of
them have a stunt boy? Well, you could do it with Guttfeld's crew,
right, where. They just needto track down the celebrities who were
the most fervent anti trumpers, likelike what happened to Deborah Messing from Will

(41:30):
and Grace? Does anybody know where'sshe at? Kathy Griffin? She what
are her thoughts? Tom? RememberTom Arnold? Remember they gave him a
show to find the pe tape.He did not find it, but the
Trump tapes? Was that literally thename of the show? Where is Tom
Arnold on the record? They couldjust go and find one of these unhinged

(41:52):
individuals. Tom Arnold might punch you. He's done it before. Get him,
go after him, Go after theHulk, dude Ruffalo not well.
By the way, I better clarify, I don't want the uh the Democratic
Party sending a presser. I wantto say, go after I meet with
a microphone and a camera to askthem a question. Where's their head at?

(42:17):
Now? That might be interesting becausethere's some celebrities who from the moment
Trump was elected, they were Where'swhere? Where's Madonna? Where's Ashley Judd?
Because Ashley Judd waved in on this, the whole crew from the White
House lawn when Madonna's like I've oftenthought of burning down the White House,

(42:43):
although maybe not that one because Idon't I don't know if I'd force anyone
to go be around Madonna right now. Why everything she does is so weird,
man, it's just nuts. Meanthat they're so entrenched and they are
so angry because they, like Isaid, they believe everything they've been told
Trump is this huge threat to democracy. Has Pearlman come around? Do we

(43:05):
know where Ron? Because he's ahe's a Galaxy Con. I got some
pitches for that. I think Isaw him on the list there. Yeah,
he's one of the he's one ofthe main folks there. So if
any of you go to Galaxy Conand see Ron Pearlman, ask him,
you might get thrown out. Sodo all your other stuff first, but
ask him. Yeah, they're tryingto say that, like Clooney is a

(43:29):
spokesperson sort of for all these people. Right If you saw that yesterday where
they were saying, well, there'sno way that Clooney would come out with
this op ad without first consulting notonly Barack Obama but all of his Hollywood
friends. May you know what,there's probably a little bit of truth to
that because it wasn't Clooney involved withsome of the organizing stuff. Yeah,

(43:49):
the sag after stuff. Uh so, may I don't know. Maybe,
I'm sure he talked to some Idon't know who his best he's are.
I know he's I know him andPitt are really tight, right, But
I don't, you know, Idon't know who he hangs out with.
So so maybe there's a little truthto it. I don't know, all
right, seven nineteen CaCO Day Radioprogram. But yeah, Jake Tapper's laughing

(44:14):
at that exp well, look atthis. Look at this New York Post.
Oh oh article, It just posteda tweeted an x uh Obama knew
in advance of George Clooney's bombshell callfor Biden to drop out, but did
not object. Oh yeah, likethat. I remember Barack Obama right after
Remember Barack Obama right after the debate, put out that that we all have

(44:37):
bad debates with no context. Alot of people don't remember why, Well,
they remember, like I guess maybethe idea that Barack Obama, you
know, had a learning curve.But a lot of people don't realize that
after that first debate, like it, he got cooked, man. And
the reason he got cooked is hewouldn't shut up. He had so much

(45:00):
he wanted to say, and itwas it was coherent in from an understanding.
It wasn't a coherent from a policystandpoint, but it was coherent from
an understanding standpoint. So it isliterally the polar opposite, which made me
laugh. And now he's already likeyeah, maybe not yeah. I think
after that, for after the Bidendebate, I think a lot of people

(45:22):
just assumed it was going to beover in like a week, you know,
a few days. It was justas stumble not realizing it was this
massive historical event. Well, Bill, I speaking of Bill O'Reilly, he
tweeted these like to buy my sourcessay tomorrow he's out, So i'd you
know, but I I and honestlymaybe that was the case. But I
think that the money I do thattwo hundred and fifty million dollars that's driving

(45:44):
this train one hundred percent or we'llget ninety eight percent. All right,
I'll leave a little room there,but it definitely is playing into it,
all right. Eight eight eight ninethree four seven eight seven four. Speaking
of tweets, did you see whatthe mayor of Kansas City tweeted yesterday and

(46:05):
then deleted ross did you see this? Mayor Quintin Lucas, the mayor of
Kansas City, tweeted, It's notevery day you get to sit in a
stealth bomber, talk to the Presidentof the United States and change a diaper.
I never stopped counting my blessings,and it all starts and ends right

(46:25):
here in Kansas City. I didsee that. Yeah, obviously he's talking
about some would say it looks likethat. Yeah, by the way,
that way, wouldn't that be abig honor you to change the the president's

(46:46):
diaper? It not now right becausenow everyone's thrown into the wolves. But
I think some of these cats areso died in the wold they probably what
have it one? Yeah, no, I mean you're proud of that if
the polling is going well, yeah, yeah, you're like absolutely, sir.

(47:07):
Do you prefer front to back orback to front anyway? Sorry,
that is gross, but you knowsometimes when Mayor's tweet unfortunately we get drug
down that road and we have nocontrol over it. Do you have to
take a break though, have controlover that and we got lots more to

(47:28):
get to it is the CaCO Dayradio program Hang On, I feel bad
for the Chinese smugglers. Do youremember, because one, they're mostly having
to smuggle live animals. That's that'sa big, big, big, big
thing, big problem over there inChina. And I'm sure it's totally so
their pets. Do you think rossor smuggling for pets, all these weird

(47:53):
ass animals into China or maybe somethingelse. And I and by the way,
I'm the one who's also told youof when we were talking about how
Chinese people were buying panglin and thenyou look at it and you're like,
oh my gosh. You know,keep in mind that you might be a

(48:13):
little freer with what you eat ifforty million of your buddies were starved to
death and you essentially lived on theNorth Korea diet, just trying to survive
in between struggle sessions, Like Iunderstand why there is an expanse of nature.
Obviously it doesn't fit in modern dayin many instances. But that being

(48:35):
said, uh, we had astory if when was this because they actually
cited here in the story. Thisis from CBS News. Yeah, so
I end of last year, awoman was attempting to smuggle five snakes into
China, and she put them inher bra and the customs guy was like,

(49:01):
nah, there's there's too much upthere, pulled her out of line,
and sure enough there was the snakes. Right. It's yeah, you
get a little stereotypical stuff there,but kind of sucks. Right. You're
if you're a Chinese woman, ifyou're a woman in China and you want
to smuggle, you want to smugglesomething there. This guy's this guy's out

(49:25):
stereotype in you. I mean,yeah, you got busted, but why
is he doing that? Well,not to be outdone. The the most
recent event, you're ready for this, a Chinese man was arrested. Let's
see, CBS doesn't say what theother day, same place, shenzend Okay,

(49:51):
so he's attempting to it is fromHong Kong into China. Yeah,
it's for a lot of the smugglingtakes place. You can basically get it
whatever one into Hong Kong apparently.And he says he's in the nothing to
declare line, and all of asudden they see his pants moving and they're
like, hey, hey, hey, why don't you once you get over

(50:15):
here, dude, And to hiscredit, he went big, go big
or go home. According to authoritiespolice, when they made him drop his
trousers, why do they continue touse the word trousers in like standard like
ap so weird? It's called pantsanyway, So when he dropped his pants

(50:40):
fixed it for you, CBS.They noticed they had six canvas bags sealed
with tape strapped around his midsection andthighs and legs. Inside they found one
hundred snakes. And if you're thinkingthey were just little ones, you were
wrong. Well, well a bunchof them worse milk snakes and corn steaks,

(51:06):
which I'm not super familiar with thesize of those that they only counted
for about half of them. Theother half were all shapes and sizes,
including poisonous snakes. That's the guywho's really committed to his job of all
shapes and sizes. So anyway,he's in. He's in big doo doo,

(51:29):
So don't do that. But youknow, at least he's like,
hey, if I'm going to godown and and there's a ten percent chance
I make and I'm gonna be rich, so there you go. I have
a question, how many how manyyears do you think it is before you
just tap out on all the Hollywoodremakes. I saw something very depressing today,

(51:54):
right for the show. Let's seehere, that's right, right,
Hollywood has announced their newest remake,A Fistful of Dollars. Now, I
understand some of you want to reallynerd out into the Man with No Name

(52:15):
series and you want to talk abouthow conceptually within that storyline there. You
know, this was stolen from aJapanese director, but that's not the same
as a remake in the same youknow, language and release country. So

(52:37):
I understand that that's the thing,But in this case it is just as
I understand. It was filmed inItaly, the Spaghetti Westerns, the you
know leone series, and they're amazing, but those were US releases. This
is going to be another US release, and I can only assume if it
does well because Fistful of Dollars isthe first of the three. So for

(53:00):
a few dollars more and the good, the Bad, and the ugly.
If you don't think Hollywood's going todo it, please they have not.
By the way, they did notlist any actors who might be associated with
it, just that they're going todo this, So I will hold judgment.
But if it's not Clint Eastwood fromTime Travel. I don't want to

(53:22):
see it. Can you what happenswhen they get to Unforgiven? I think
I'm out at that, But youdo Unforgiven, I'm out. I don't
think you can redo that movie.Oh and if you Modern audience Unforgiven,

(53:45):
my brain hurts so much if youif you go in there. Because let's
face it, you know, Eastwoodis about to release his very last movie
directing. That sounds worded, soI don't know. Maybe he acts in
something, but and he you know, he's into his nineties and he's got

(54:05):
a movie coming out here, uhpretty quick actually, and he got a
bunch of big names in it,and that's great. I'll you know,
well, we'll see what's it called, Juror number two. I hope it's
good. Man, he's had it, especially when he got older years with
the with the Drive. I justI just watched Grand Charino again. I

(54:28):
think I mentioned that on there.That movie's great every time I watch it.
What a great movie. So hopefullyit knocks out of the park.
Because I didn't really like the TheSmuggler one. I can't remember what the
name of it was, but butyeah, don't don't screw with Unforgive,
and don't screw with Ross. What'syour favorite? Was it Pale Writer or

(54:51):
oh dude, Pale Riders? Sogood? Yeah, don't don't screw with
those when he just gets off andhe starts beating those guys down with that
stick. Yes, so great.As you do as you do? Do
you want to see Unforgiven with updated? Maybe we can get the uh the
the what's your bucket is doing thenew Star Wars movie? I mean the

(55:12):
problem with Unforgiven would be because youknow, it's a lot about you know,
big Whiskey and gun control and what. So he would just roll up
to Big Whiskey and just give hisguns away freely, Like here you go,
not freely, you get a youget a gift card to Perkins or
something. So yeah, yeah,you show up and uh yeah, you
know there's Hackney. He's say yeah, yeah, no, yeah, we

(55:34):
got you one hundred dollars gift No, I guess it would be for the
two dollars gift cards, right,because you know it's back then some good
pies for that man. You youcan you know where I grew up,
we didn't have the waffle house,so Perkins was the place to go watch
drunk people fight staff. They hadthose all over Wyoming. Man loved me

(55:55):
some. Perkins was very sad whenthe one closed across from the station,
like five minut it's after I movedhere. Very sad anyway, all right,
seven forty three Race Stagic. Areyou a waffle House or Perkins?
Guy, it's tough. You livein Atlanta, so I feel, yeah,
you're shoehorn in, but I kindof I don't even Yeah, I

(56:15):
think there's a couple Perkins got more, more choice. I guess that's what
it comes down to. But Iguess when you're hammered, do you need
choice? Just fill you up withGreece, right, yeah? Or hungover?
But either or that they do thejob. But actually like Denny's too.
Denny's is I remember two am inthe morning triple cheeseburger with me.
Yeah, that kind of stuff Idon't forget. But yeah, the Denny's

(56:38):
near the State Well it's over onWake Forest. I that place is an
absolute mad house at two in themorning. But if you really want insanity,
uh, have you ever been toan I hoop in the middle of
the night? They have like theyhave like security, like it's for the
oscars, Like I don't know whathappens in there, but I saw that

(56:59):
secure, and I'm like, youknow, I don't think I'm gonna eat
here. I'm too old for thatnow. Yeah. Yeah, back in
my younger years, you'd risk that, but not now now I have a
family and you know, come on, yeah right, well, back back
in the younger years, we didn'thave anything like that in Upstate where I
grew up. I don't know,Well, you were closer all, but
hey, weren't you, uh ross? I mean, so for me,

(57:20):
it was the local diner. Itwas double order of fries with gravy and
cheese. Did you ever do thatgravy on the top and then it's almost
food? Oh gosh, that wasa fantastic. Yeah. We'd go in
and you know, the waitress wouldjust know us and be like, oh
boy, here we go, twoam crew. You're right water now that
I think about it, you're right. Like growing up there, up in

(57:42):
New York, up state, there'smore like likes, just like individual diners.
Yes, yeah, it's individual diners. You know what. You can't
listen to those people. They justfigured out that you can use a trash
bin. So yeah, well,let me uh, I don't want to
ruin too many people's Friday to Fridaystay if you are heading to the beaches,

(58:02):
but we're going to well yeah,that's what I was gonna say.
If you're coming through town now andgoing east and maybe heading out to the
beach, Yeah, some thunderstorms ona line right now from Martin County and
just north of that down through andinto Lenora Counties, not really moving much
yet, and then some spotty showersas you get closer into the outer banks.

(58:23):
You go west to that, andwe've actually seen a little bit of
a break in the do points,lower due points and humidity so a little
cooler, especially from the triad west. Still pretty warm in around the triangle,
but we've got a dis serbance ofthe southeast coast at the Hurricane Center
does have a ten percent chance ofseeing that development. It's probably not going
to but still the moisture is goingto continue to come north and increasing shower

(58:45):
thunderstorm chances. I'm just gonna sayfrom in and around I ninety five in
east as we head on through tonighttomorrow. Is specially even though we've got
this line of storms out there now. I think the better chances tomorrow and
Tomorrow night and Saturday, where someof them are going to see multiple inches
of rain. East of eye ninetyfive, I think the triangle get some
showers and thunderstorms. Some may sneakin today, some may sneak in early

(59:08):
tonight, but the better chance willbe tomorrow into Tomorrow night and at least
the first part of Saturday. Easily. The second part of the weekend is
going to be better. But herecomes to heat and humidity, we'll get
titty to build back in and bySunday and early next week triangle back in
the mid upper nineties. Try Itprobably going to see some low nineties.
So we should stay in good shapetoday from about ninety five west, and

(59:28):
then as we go through tonight andtomorrow, the rain chance is increasing for
the triangle, less of a chanceTry It and west and then showers thunderstorms
tomorrow. With that disturbance working northinto Tomorrow night and Saturday, we'll have
more in an hour and a littlebit more on it tomorrow. Certainly when
we start seeing that low get alittle closer real quick. Who is your
fay or what is your favorite EastwoodWestern movie. Eastwood Western movie. Yeah,

(59:53):
yeah, yeah, see I heardyou're talking about Eastwood. The other
one you were talking about is TheMule, And yeah yeah, I didn't
hate it. I just say,right, take the ones. I don't.
I've never really seen any of theolder ones, so I couldn't.
I couldn't give you a good answerthere. Sorry, you gotta prep me

(01:00:15):
for this stuff. At least Icould lie make a button bar ross.
I need button bar please, Ineed the button. Thank you? Sorry,
you know what that is. No, that's the end of you.
Okay, you've been canceled. Allright, get out of here, all
right, goodbye? What what isis he Jeff Bellinger today? What is

(01:00:38):
happening? I didn't sleep a bunchlast night, am I if I think
he's more of a space guy?You know, he's a space guy.
Oh so Cowboys and Aliens is theone the only Western he'll watch. I'm
gay, man, I'm trying toget the benefit of the doubt here.
Oh so many problems with that answer. All right, Well, now I've

(01:01:00):
got to go. We got somedecisions to make. We'll make up during
the break. Oh look at this, Everyone's like, what about true grid.
That's what we call an exception toa rule. And arguably I'll still
take the first. And I thinkthey're different movies, isn't I'm decribing.
Maybe it's because the Little Girl isone hundred percent a little less in the

(01:01:23):
first movie. The little Girl can'tyou can't compete with John Wayne, so
you're blown off the screen in thesecond movie. Yeah, it's the big
difference there. Yeah. But alsoif you think that this is an easy
thing, I would point you toMagnificent seven. Okay, yeah, yeah,
give me, you know, giveme the old one. It's not
even close. So lots to thinkabout. We'll be back. Get to

(01:01:45):
chat with our entertainment slash NERD correspondenceslash guy, who I occasionally give grief
to on Twitter. But that's okay, it's all in good fun. How
you doing, Steven Kent? I'mdoing all right, store recovering from the
last time you believe me. Idid not bully you. In fact,
I think last time on Twitter bullying, No, I was telling you about
my insane Minnesota neighbors. Malamute.Isn't that technically accurate? Okay, all

(01:02:12):
right, yeah, technically that's awhole you know, what it was an
interesting thing rerout just so you guysshould follow Stephen on Twitter. Basically,
the premise of the engagement question wasdo you use a voice for your pet?
And if so, what am Iasking it? Correctly? Was it?
Oh? Yes? And then whatis what's the voice? Reality?

(01:02:37):
Yes? Yeah? Would you wouldyou like would you like to share?
Do you have a story? Becausemy dog a German Shepherd mix, we
gave basically the voice of a youknow, like a squeaky teddy bear,
but is a right wing extremist.He was a participant. In January sixth

(01:02:59):
he he took part in the stealingof Nancy Pelosi's desk, and he has
dedicated his life to fighting Antifa.He's a he's a problematic dog, but
doggie doors are always open. Solike, I mean, you know,
what are you gonna do? No? I was so I had this.

(01:03:20):
I had this lunatic up in Minnesota, had a malamute, which I think
they're beautiful dogs, hear me outmy but my buddy's brother had one too,
and it also had a bit ofan attitude. But this one was
it was pure the owner's problem.Like it was the owner made this dog
like it, and I'm like,that dog's gonna murder somebody, and uh,
and it would. But it waslike it would like bait people in
because it had it had a balland then it had this like one of

(01:03:44):
those giant oversized bones and it wouldlike come up to the fence with it,
and so you're looking at it like, oh, it wants me to
throw it. But if you gotwithin a certain amount of feet, it
was clear it was bait so itcould eat you. And so when I
tell people about it, I woulduse the saw voice about playing a game.
So do you want to play agame? Yeah? Right, because

(01:04:09):
you know how that's gonna end.And you'll be shocked to learn that dog
ended up biting the dude who wasliterally there to install a shot on the
guy's property. And I want tosay he didn't lose the dog somehow,
I'm unclear how it panned out,but yeah, that was that's all on
the owner there. But the pointis I didn't tease you last time,

(01:04:29):
long long way to say it,and we got stuff to get to.
So let me let me pop overand let me bring you in where we
just were. Once again. AnotherHollywood remake being announced this time. They're
going for The Man with No Nameseries, all right, So we'll kick
it off with fist full of dollarsand I'm sure if they make money,
the rest will follow. And Iam horrified. One that, you know,
with the Western genre, which I'ma fan of, we're gonna go

(01:04:55):
down this road. And Two ifthey ever get to unforgiven, I don't
I don't know, man, Imight have to, I might have to
turn into like some like militant anarchistdudents. So I don't know, man,
I just I can't bathom them screwingwith some of these movies, even
though you know, the argument isthat the whole thing it was fetched off

(01:05:15):
of the Kirasawa narrative, which istrue. But this is releasing in the
same country, in the same language, so I see it as a true
a cheap remake versus an overseas remake. So you got any thoughts on are
you a Western guy at all?So I'm not a Western guy. You

(01:05:39):
know. The closest that I've evergotten to, you know, watching something
like The Man with No Name,you know, borrowing from those Kirasawa sort
of samurai type themes, is theMan Galorean from Star Wars. I don't
really see a huge issue as well. I want into that. Yeah,
the malibut, you're the malamute inthe story. Go ahead, I'm gonna
buye, you know, a fifthfull of dollars. The man with no

(01:06:02):
name like this is I think somethingthat people will enjoy. And I don't
think most viewers and you know,lovers of entertainment who are under the age
of forty, have ever heard ofa man with no name. I think
it's worth making. It's probably,it's probably time and I'm gonna and here's
what I'm gonna agree with you on. There used to be. I don't

(01:06:25):
want to say a hard and faststructure that I I'm You've had this debate
one hundred times, but I'll justreiterate it. Where you you you know,
you had to go in and thenthere was challenges and you had to
overcome the challenges and eventually you wouldfind yourself the hero. But you didn't
start the hero. The difference isfrom the moment Eastwood walks in. He's

(01:06:47):
the man, right, and he'smanipulating everybody. He's doing his things.
So it's not hard and fast ifyou can pull it off, and so
I guess I can appreciate that.The question is, why can't Hollywood at
that formula right nowadays? I don'tknow. I think they because they they
always view the source material as somethingthat needs changing. I think most of

(01:07:11):
the approaches that we the remakes arealways, you know, the past is
problematic or you know, the peopleor the directors or the storylines you know,
or somehow unsophisticated or uncouth, andtherefore we need to tamper with them
and change them. I think thatthat's usually where things go off the rails
immediately, is viewing the past asa problem that needs to be corrected for.

(01:07:33):
But who is who's making this thisremake? What can you tell me
about the you know where it's gonna? Yeah, hang out, I'm sorry,
I may have closed it. I'mstupid. Yeah, I'm trying to
close a different window. Hang on, I'll find it here. Yeah,
it's the it's the uh that entertainmentstudio guys. Look there, I mean,

(01:07:54):
they are names that have put outsome really good movies, and you
know, I I hope that theyhold to it. Here we go specifically
euro Gang Entertainment. So I've gotnew Nari from three hundred. I hate

(01:08:14):
it when it loads that off.Yeah, so Ripley, the guys who
did Ripley. So you know,all right, we'll see, We'll see
how it goes. I think youwant to have like kids, you know,
get into get into westerns, andthere just aren't a lot being made.
I think Yellowstone is like people's onlyexposure to Western anything in modern pop

(01:08:36):
culture. And then when you godown that rabbit hole, you sort of
end up in the Paramount Taylor sharedin cinematic universe and so come on man,
West World until they screwed it completelyup. I had that narrative,
but they But does it have tobe movies? Arguably one of the biggest

(01:08:56):
video games out there is a Westernteam video game where Ross kill horses all
day. All he does is killhorses. It's crazy. So and your
referencing, of course Red Dead Redemptionone of the greatest games of all time.
Yeah, for sure, But I'mmostly just focused on Gladiator too.
I assume you'll have talked about that. You talked about yes, mister Gladiator's

(01:09:19):
comments, and I don't know itis it is a little weird, but
I'm I'm annoyed with the hip hopand the trailer me too. It's so
cringey, you know, but itworks awful? Did you did you enjoy
Hateful Eight? Uh? No?Okay, all right, well never mind.

(01:09:40):
There's you know, he incorporates thatalso in Django Unchained, which you
know there's another US know though it'snot as recent. But I actually I'm
trying to transition you to this story, so let me go ahead and get
there. So, uh, youknow, there is going there's gonna be
we the the technology exists now thatif you wanted to make a movie using

(01:10:01):
a Hollywood actor, likely you could, especially as much as they could clean
it up. Would you agree withthat? Yeah, you're pretty close to
being able to do it. AndI was reading this thing with I don't
know if he's the best person tobe discussing this necessarily, but Nicholas Cage,
who's talking about how he doesn't trustHollywood with AI, like what are

(01:10:24):
they going to do with him?And I think, do you think dead
AI Nicholas Cage would make more orless movies than live Nicholas Cage Like that,
Dude's would thing. It would behard to keep pace with the real
living and very much alive Nicholas Cage. But the reality is this is something

(01:10:45):
that they could do. And whathorrifies me or a couple things, one
going back to the man with noname, what if it's woman with no
name? They haven't announced actors.But more important, let's let's talk about
those movies you mentioned, and I'llgive you an example Outlaw Jo C.
Wales, which I was talking aboutbefore you came on. The hero Eastwood
is a former Confederate soldier and he'sterrorized by Union soldiers. That wouldn't fly

(01:11:11):
in today's Hollywood. So arguably couldthey could remake that movie, flip and
flip that all the way around andclaim that they're just updating it for you
know, a special release. Imean, even those Death by a thousand
little cuts is concerning, plus theexploitation that we see some family members willing
to do to keep alive the memoryof their loved one and keep their bank

(01:11:35):
accounts filled. So where are youat? Well? I was just sort
of seizing on that comment you madeabout how the kind of the hero was
a traumatized Civil War Confederate soldier,you know, with a grudge against the
Union, and that reminds me ofhow on Wheels. I'm AMC one of
my favorite shows, and I guess, you know, evidence that Westerns do

(01:11:56):
exist. That came out in twentyeleven into twenty sixteen, and at the
same premise a Confederate soldier whose familywas murdered by some brutal Union soldiers and
he's out for revenge and he isthe complicated hero. But that was before
the George Floyd reckoning. Would itbe made today? I don't know.
It's hard to say, but Isort of have faith that there's enough space

(01:12:20):
on television and streaming these days foreverything. But you are right, I
would count on them doing some sortof race bending recast or gender recast when
it comes to any of these shows, just to make a point well,
but also just to save a pileof money. I mean, you know,
think about the amount. Think aboutDisney what they've took it in the

(01:12:43):
pants for with some of the someof their efforts this year, and other
entities that have done big remakes thatdidn't go anywhere, but they had to
advest, you know, two hundredmillion dollars and plus marketing everything in there.
If you could do something, whetherit is a special release or an
actual remake and incorporate even dead actorsnow into it who maybe people of the

(01:13:05):
day thought should have played it orwas the second casting choice. Like,
all of these things exist and arguablywould cost less, and I you know,
Hollywood likes things that cost less thatmight make more money, don't they.
They certainly do. And that's whyNicholas Cage is not crazy when he
says that he fears that they're goingto take his his body, his eyes,

(01:13:29):
his voice. I mean there's there'salready times of precedent for this,
uh, you know, with withdead actors reappearing in movies as long as
their estates, you know, theirfamily and descendants before screen light it.
Yeah, so that they can makemake money off of it. Kerrie Fisher,
that was such an awkward scene.But you didn't think that scene was

(01:13:51):
awkward? Oh okay, good,I just yeah, you're brutal. Yeah.
Now, the going was Peter PeterCushing's revival and in Rogue one,
you know, bringing Peter Cushing AdmiralTarkin back for the Rogue one movie.
I mean that guy hasn't been seenin decades after he passed, and they

(01:14:14):
recast him and had somebody perform him, and then they animated that person's face
to look like Cushing, and Ithink that that was not as good as
it's going to get. Well,and you know, think of all the
other opportunities. You know, oneday and I don't wish it. Soon,
you know, Harrison Ford will begone, they'll all be gone,
and then maybe they can take anotherstab at not destroying the entire franchise with

(01:14:38):
the last three movies. So yeah, you know, I just the whole
Yeah, I think you're right.I mean, I think Harrison Ford is
somebody who well he's actually said he'stalked a lot about death in the past
before and said like he is notafraid to move on and be done with
life and be left behind. Andin the memory of Hollywood, I am

(01:15:00):
imagine he's going to have some kindof clause in his will that's like,
you cannot do this to me,You cannot recreate my likeness on television and
movies. I wouldn't be surprised bythat at all. But yeah, it's
so weird that this is something they'regoing to have to think about too.
Oh it is. We're not goingto let go of the stars of the
past. I mean, what doesit say about us if we don't just

(01:15:23):
let movie stars die move on,and then we bring up new people to
be the new stars and faces ofHollywood and action and romance movies and all
that stuff. You're not making roomfor future actors when you don't let the
old ones go. That could bevery destructive, I think to entertainment culture

(01:15:45):
and like records of human history,if we just never let these people go,
because these movies, these TV shows, these are records of our existence.
And I don't like the idea thatwill never recast somebody eventually in Sanna
Jones should be played by somebody else. I just will say, I don't
want to be alive to see it. Well, and it can be done.

(01:16:06):
I mean, a Bond proved that, right, you can, you
can. You're not always going toit's not always going to be a winner,
right, and it'll spark a debate, but you have, you know,
you have the different eras of it. All right. We we could
literally talk about this the whole thing, but I got to ask you.
We got less than two minutes thatAcolyte episode. Huh yeah, it's kind

(01:16:30):
of kind of a drag, kindof boring, not not the most exciting
episode. But basically, what you'regetting here is a a who done it?
Story? He said, she said, type story with Star Wars.
It's a mystery and they're kind ofdrawing out. Yeah, that was I
always said that. So I've provenright, you're part of the problem for

(01:16:53):
what using my work, No asserting, but that Jedi could be a moral
wrong, not perfect? How dareyou? You know? The world?
The world is messy and the Jedijust live in it. Okay, all
right, you know, except theirside of the forest is the good side
builders that because if they're not,they're not the Jedi, they're the other

(01:17:14):
thing, right, something like that. Yeah, I was excited. I
was excited to see them bring outin the new episode of The Acolyte,
the idea of a virgence in theforest. This will be way too deep
for most everybody here listening, butthe idea of a virgence from the forest
is like Anakin Skywalker himself in StarWars Episode one, he was created by
the Force in sort of an immaculateconception, and they brought that idea back

(01:17:38):
in The Acolyte to suggest that somethingis going on with this witch coven,
that they are living in a virginsin the forest. Yeah, it's interesting.
I think it is all eating thosetoo dark plagas. You're just trying
to stifle my free side. Notgoing to do it in ten seconds,
I have no choice, Steve,and I appreciate that man. Thanks,

(01:17:59):
thank you Stephen Kent there. Makesure you follo him on Twitter and hang
on, we will be right back. I thought it started real and then
the fakery was added, but thatis not the case. So Joe Biden
is you know, he's at avery small, manageable event. He's doing
his thing, and as after hehas turned back the microphone to this woman,

(01:18:27):
she compliments diversity, right, becauseyou're required to do that at a
Democratic press conference, because it's ourstrength. And Joe Biden, much to
the horror of his staff, clearlyhere's the word, the d word,
grabs the mic from her and startsin on whatever he's starting in on,

(01:18:51):
and that part you'd think, okay, well that's real, and then all
of a sudden, the camera itdoesn't just like zoom out away from it,
like oh it's you know, we'rewrapping up, thanks for watching.
On the official fee, somebody physicallygrabs the camera and you see it like

(01:19:14):
flip up in the air like youwould grab a camera and just kind of,
I don't know, turn around andwalk away with it. And then
all of a sudden, there's youknow, the bars, the color bars
when a production's over, and atone, and it looks like somebody shoehorn
that in, like a record scratchwould be the best way to describe it.
The problem is none of those thingsare shoehorned in. Those are all

(01:19:40):
the things that happened. So theysee him getting ready to go on god
knows what diatribe about diversity, whichyou want to talk about an absolute mind
field when you're still reeling from theI was the first black female president.
Even though you know what he meant, they just don't want that out there.

(01:20:01):
So they are there. They ripthe camera away and go right to
the end. Tone. I'm gonnaplay the audio video do it justice.
Follow us at Casey on the radioon Twitter, but you don't even have
to follow. You still go seeit at Casey on the radio. Rosso
do the retweet. Here it isand it does more monardies, more women,

(01:20:29):
more labor. I'm serious, thinkabout it. That's who we are,
that's why we're strong. We're diverse, we're strong. I'm gonna stop
looking at Wait now your thing,Ross, You didn't think the tone was
real, right, Ross? Islike, the tone is what I mean,
it's all legit. And here's thething. He didn't say anything that

(01:20:50):
crazy that I you know, hesaid the kind of standard. Look,
how diverse my cabinet is. Thething is you never know, no,
no, no, it's absolutely right. And that's it's it's a minefield of
plenty. So but yeah, it'sjust so, it's just so weird man.

(01:21:11):
And and in a way it theywere the ones that made it more
awkward. As to your point though, who knows where he was going with
that. Maybe he challenged the cabinetto a golf tournament or so. I
don't know, but they were nothaving any of that. Speaking of awkward
but mildly impressive, the the Hamasprotests, you know, like on the
universities, not just here, alsoover in places like the UK, and

(01:21:40):
I think that they may have foundthe you know, there's a pecking order
of oppression. I think they mayhave found the king is king queen.
It would be King and queen becausethey right, listen to the number of
boxes checked here and laugh along withthe way they say commune comrade, because

(01:22:02):
I did. Police Forces hospital liesone of our comrades, male officers touched
a disabled Muslim transperson of color.With that, I have to hear it
again, and I know you dotoo if you didn't hear we played it
first thing on the show. Listento the number of boxes tick Police forces
hospital lies. One of our comrades, male officers touched a disabled Muslim transperson

(01:22:27):
of color without consent and refuse togive them medical treatment. And that's four.
I mean four has got to bethe goal, right? What was
left out of there? You've gotskin color, you have gender identity,
you have religion. What am Imissing? There was four of them trans,

(01:22:54):
Muslim, disabled, and you havea disability? Is there one that
I'm missing? On the on thethe oppression totem poll I that is you
know, we joke about checking allthe bus I would say maybe a little
person or an indigenous person. Iwell, but I think indigenous goes to

(01:23:15):
person of color because remember it's apipe bippok right, yeah, okay,
black Indigenous persons of color? Soyeah, and then you know from a
from a little person, I getYeah, I guess maybe that's that I
don't want to I don't want toput that into the handicap thing. So
yeah, maybe or is I don'tknow. I mean, I'm literally I'm

(01:23:40):
not trying to be disrespectful. Ijust I don't know if that's in the
same But I mean, if you'relooking for boxes to check, right,
genre, Yeah, but you don'twant to look like you're just padding your
stats, right or do you?I guess maybe you do? Right?
Actually, what am I talking about? Of course you do? Oh you
know what. I figured out whatit is. And I know what you're
gonna say. You're gonna say nocase they did say one. But you
have to look at it through thefilter of the diversity folk mental illness boom.

(01:24:10):
So there's room for improvement. Issomebody here in the US wants to
get you know, you want tojump If you want to jump on there
you go. Five. I guessit'd be the magic number they got to.
Four. Still pretty impressive, allright to this, I'll tell you
it's not impressed. Lots of fathers, well at least the ones who are
still in this you know, inthe in these girls' lives, which you

(01:24:32):
know I'll let you guess the percentage. One of the cringiest things that is
happening now on the internet is hawktwoy two or people who what? Women
who watched that interview and watched theabsolute propulsion into the stratosphere of notoriety by

(01:24:59):
the hot tooy girl who are nowgoing up to and in some cases I'm
sure staging whoever's hosting it. Theyou know, the man on the street
is at the you know, theparty zone interviewing the drunk co eds and
doing their own viral moment with thegrossest and or sluttiest or whatever you want

(01:25:27):
to call it sexual act description thatthey can muster, hoping that they catch,
you know, catch viral fame withit. But most of them are
just some girl talking about doing somethingthat would make her parents disowner and it's
just sad. Man. I'm notgoing to play into the audio. I

(01:25:50):
can't, but like, is thiswhere we are? Is this where the
quest for fame has taking us?And is it that much of a deviation
considering you know, like the chicksthey have on shows like the Flavor what
was the Flavor of Flave Love show? Flavor of Love? Right? I

(01:26:14):
mean you're not dealing with the girlsfrom the country club there, you know
what I'm saying. So I don'tknow, maybe, but yeah, there's
a bunch of these going Also,what if you're dating one of these girls?
It's not just the part that she'dsaid that, it's like the because

(01:26:35):
they're making it up. Probably right, probably, but yeah, there's a
whole lot of cringe floating around outthere. Man, oh what is this?
Oh you guys missed immigration say youknow what? Thank you Boston Paul.
That is that is true? Sothere's six boxes there, Oh,
housed or unhoused. Dang it.Look, oh there's so many boxes to

(01:26:58):
go. I didn't even think ofthat. Well, that's that's why we
have the audience to help us makesure we got everything in there. So
any who are at eight forty fourraced agent from the Weather Channel. Alrighty,
we had a talk, right,Yeah, you're sentenced to watch those

(01:27:20):
in fact, come up with alist. Yes, And if your wife
says anything like, hey, nothingI can do. Usually she doesn't like
my movies anyway, so oh weend up watching She'll be watching cooking shows
and Hallmark dramas, and I'll bewatching stuff downstairs. So it doesn't matter.

(01:27:43):
Yea, what is that stuff downstairs? Well, I mean things that
she doesn't want to watch, likewesterns and oh okay, want to clarify
because you know, war movies,like war movies too, Hamburger Hill,
all that stuff. All right,cool, trying to earn back your man,
card, I am, I am. Well, if you got songs
about rain, there's gonna be plentyof it there already has been two hours

(01:28:09):
of ninety five. There's been alreadysome flood advisories issued, and even a
flash flood warning that just popped up. Actually eight forty five. This is
Craven County, Green County, JonesCounty, and Ludar County, Pitt County.
Heavy rainfall one to three inches andmore coming down. Some spots have
seen two to four inches. It'skind of sitting right along the front that's

(01:28:30):
to our east, laying right acrossEye ninety five. The storms to the
east of that. So if youare traveling toward the outer banks, you're
gonna run through this area heavy rainfalland even some flash flooding. And this
is gonna be a trend. WeatherService discussion out of Morehead City. They're
talking about an atmospheric river event hereon the East coast, which is gonna
bring heavy rain, especially east ofninety five over the next couple of days.

(01:28:53):
Already happening this morning, there areflood watches in the northeastern corner of
the state. I'd imagine those aregoing to get extended now a triangle and
just west so Raleigh, Durham,back into let's say Pittsburgh, Carthage down
to the southwest. A better chanceof seeing heavier rain and thunderstorms most likely

(01:29:14):
starting later tonight tomorrow than it doesfurther west of that, but still you're
gonna have to be on the lookoutfor some heavier rainfall. The chance of
the triangle is later today as someof these storms may creep further west,
and then as we head on throughtonight and tomorrow, everybody kind of in
that shower thunderstorm thing with locally heavydownpours with slow moving storms, still some
lingering showers and thunderstorms, and theSaturday, especially east of ninety five,

(01:29:38):
and then as we get to Sunday, still chance of showers and thunderstorms for
some, but again emphasize that wekind of will use I ninety five in
and around ie ninety five. Thebest chance in points east to that less
chance, more scattered. As yougo further west and you go into the
mountains, there may be some thatdon't get much rain at all, so
kind of a sharp cutoff. Sojust stay tuned the forecast case. I

(01:29:58):
think flooding is going to be areal big, real big threat from this,
especially into the outer banks. Allright. Final question to retrieve your
man card of these here is doyou prefer it's raining men, blame it
on the rain, or set fireto the rain. I would say set
fire to the un I'm sorry theanswer is November rain by guns and roses.

(01:30:20):
Get out of here, Eddie Rabbitfrom Love A Rainy Night from Gary
Allen. Gary all songs about rainbecause it mentions all the rains. Yeah,
you failed, card back target allWe'll try again tomorrow, tomorrow,
all right. I would even acceptuh no rain if you know, depending

(01:30:45):
on your era. All Right,we'll be back. Hang on. Yeah,
we got bad news for Delta,Casey, but it's good news for
you and me. The airline hascut summer fare prices. That's hurting profit.
Though at Delta. The problem forthe airline is extra supply. Of
course, for you and me.Not only does that mean a drop in
fares, it could mean the seatnext to you could be empty. That's
great news for consumers, but Deltashares their nose diving right now. The

(01:31:06):
Consumer Price Report is out. USinflation cooled broadly in June, and that
does pave the way for a possibleFED rate cut soon. The so called
core consumer price index, that's theone when you take out food and energy
costs, that climbed just a tenthof a percent from May, and that
is the smallest advanced since August oftwenty twenty one. A year on year

(01:31:29):
at rose three point three percent.That was also the slowest pace in more
than three years, and that coremeasure is considered a better indicator of underlying
inflation. Fiser moving forward with aweight loss pill, the drugmaker wants to
crack the multi billion dollar market forobesity meds. The once daily treatment is
called de Nuglepron. It'll progress toa mid stage study in the second half

(01:31:50):
of this year, having cleared ascientific kurdle in a small study. Now,
if the drug succeeds, it'll moveinto the final stage of development.
The daily pill designed as a needlefree alternative to popular weight loss shots from
Novo Nordis and Eli Lilly and Casey. Americans have quit quitting their jobs for
now. Apparently a tight labor marketand shrinking pay could be leading to what

(01:32:14):
Wall Street journal is calling the BigStay. Several surveys show fewer US adults
are currently seeking to leave their rolescompared with the job switching frenzy of the
pandemic years. Other data suggests jobsatisfaction is rising. Of course, I
love my job, and in interviewsa formerly job hopping workers, Casey,
they are content to stay right wherethey are. Back over to you,

(01:32:34):
and you make much darker jokes thanJeff does. Darker I thought, I'm
brighter the Delta does. After whathappened up in Syracuse. Oh my god,
that was just a parts delivery business, wasn't it that they were opening
there? Or they dropped no,no, no no. The two planes
that almost slammed into each other inSyracuse the other day, I thought,
I thought you meant oh, Iwas so proud dropped the parts off the

(01:32:56):
door, and I was like,there must be starting a parts delivery service.
You should tell people, Well,you meant the other thing, because
that's funny. No I, alright, make a dark joke. Well nobody
died, so right, that's true, that's true. Journalists are journalists.
Okay, all right, well that'sluckily that's not me. So have a
good one, thank you, thankyou God. Honestly, I thought that's

(01:33:17):
what it was, Russ. Didyou see that too, American Airlines Delta
flight like once coming into land oncesay it's it's clearly the tower. It's
not the flight. It's almost theywere six hundred feet from each other,
four hundred and fifty feet vertical atone point and then off to the side.
But like they were doing like Maverickmaneuvers. I have a theory that
the pilots realized they were in Syracuseand just wanted to end it. So

(01:33:41):
but you know, again, that'sjust a working theory because it kind of
looks like it's on the tower.But that's a crazy video. And there's
a dash cam video, uh fromand the police officers out of his car,
out of her car, pointing atit, because what can you do
at that point, like, ohmy gosh, look at that. So
thankfully Delta went one way, Americanwent the other, and but the rapid

(01:34:05):
climb they probably noticed in the AmericanAirlines flight there
