Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Glad to have you a long and I'm just thankful
we don't have a zillion audio cuts, which I'm sure
Ross is very sad about. But we have a lot
of weird stuff today. Plus I got some rollover it
and get to yesterday, so it's gonna be a bounce
around day. Also, are they still looking for the murderer?

(00:22):
And I think a murderer escape. Remember when that used
to be a big deal, right, it was the start
of any good horror movie. They're like, the murderer escape
the whatever. Usually it had to be like an insane
asylum or something, right, because they're like, oh yeah, but
like real life murder escapes, they tend to go in
in a couple of directions. And there's a reason that

(00:48):
jail staff is not jazzed at the idea of having
to transport you to a medical facility. I know, we
get into these debates or they'll be like, you know so,
and and there are situations where clearly clearly staff did
not do what they should do, either through a little
chicken little where they convinced themselves they didn't have an obligation,

(01:09):
or just sheer negligence Epstein. Although that was that might
have been something different that being said that that trend
or they got to take them over to a medical facility.
That's bad. I can't tell you the number of stories
I've done over the years, and it's because you're not
in a controllable situation or not to the extent that
you were. So I get that. But also every now

(01:31):
and then we get those murder escape because he was
on the trust farm with no fences, picking beats or whatever,
and they're like, God, he murdered six people and then
he had the audacity to walk off the trust farm, which,
by the way, that happened years ago in North Carolina. Right,
did we have a dude who was a murderer who

(01:52):
was at one of the North Carolina one of the
I don't know what they're called in North Carolina, but
basically very minimum secure. They just wandered off. So uh,
but you know it used to be if there was
a murder on the loose. Uh, you know, some sorority
girls were gonna die. But we'll we'll fill you up,

(02:13):
fill you in on that. Unfortunately, though, we don't get
to start the show on a a happy note for everybody.
Mm hmm. I hate to see this because I think
it is the I think it's the fuel that powers
the boat, whatever you want to call it. You study

(02:36):
out even light drinking is harmful to older adults. Quote
from the first drop Ross. Do you think you know
who's listening already this morning? Probably you know who is?
You know who? Right? Somebody might be considered among the

(02:58):
uh this demographic here who I want to keep safe,
I want to keep healthy, and I wanted to do
this story before he cracked his first coal in this morning.
A twelve year study found, let's see, of one hundred
and thirty five thousand adults, that's a lot age sixty
and older, found that even light drinking associated with an

(03:21):
increase in horribleness answer all sorts of stuff. The uptick
most pronounced in older adults who have health troubles, but
does not discriminate even if you don't. You're just getting old.
We're all getting older. The findings contradict the previously held

(03:42):
belief that small quantities of alcohol, particularly red wine, are
good for the heart once you hit sixty. Apparently that's
not the case. I just ruined a lot of weekends
or early morning weekdays before you head over to a
trade Joe's that creepy all right, do do do?

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Do you?

Speaker 1 (04:03):
So there you go, person from the Northeast. The new
research published Monday and the journal JAMA. That's a big
one I've heard of. That one maintain there is no
reduction in heart disease deaths among lighter moderate drinkers, regardless
of health or socioeconomic status. However, that light drinking uh

(04:25):
starts going into the negative territory once you pass the
age of sixty. I bet she's fun. Lead author of
the study, Rosario or Tolo, tell us The New York Times,
we did not find evidence of a beneficial association. She
added that, far from being good for you, consuming alcohol

(04:48):
likely raises your risk of cancer, stroke and heart disease
once you're past sixty from the first drop. So there
you go, sad day, sad day. Think of all the
money you're gonna save it that's for you. So uh yeah,
or you know, or you could just be like, I
want to see more studies. But you know, here's the thing.

(05:13):
If you're going to ruin everything else around us, right,
you're gonna destroy democracy, our trust in institutions of law enforcement,
as well as journalism. Not granted they're doing that all
on their own. But when I say you, I just
mean you, you in general, you from behind the U
lizard people. You're gonna do that. At least let us

(05:35):
have our booze. Do you remember Ross? Do you remember
seeing the numbers during COVID of like how much liquor
the state was selling? Yeah? And I thought it was
funny because that's when I stopped drinking. Yeah. It's like
everybody else was like weak and had to cope. But
you would have You could have blended. No no, no, no,
I hear you, But like you could have, you could

(05:56):
have blended bad people were I remember going I remember
going to the ABC sturing during during COVID, the one
on Capital right across from the station there which that
one boy, that thing kicks off right when it opens,
the one not capitable of our they are they're busy
from the word get. But I remember going over there

(06:18):
during COVID. It was it was right after they did
the lockdown thing, right where you got to have your
papers if you want to travel? Are you what was
the term whatever whatever we whatever the term was, I
can't remember essential? Are you an essential? Essential employee? And
I remember iHeart like you're an essential employee. Like that
doesn't make me feel better, but I guess I kind

(06:40):
of get it, so uh yeah, yeah so they uh,
I mean it.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
It was crazy looking back at that, it's absolutely insane
that they said that that was essential but they closed
the gyms.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Well, but that was. But here's the thing. It's like
you got if you took people's booze away.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
I mean, there's that's that's sad, but very sad. What
do you mean It's sad that you're so dependent on it,
you're a slave to it.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
It's really gross. Well here's the mere slave to it.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
I know.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
I don't disagree.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
So weird, like when you're an alcoholic and you're drinking,
you assume everybody else is right, right, yeah, but then
you stop and you look at it and you're like,
it's so weird. How society is all built around it.
It's super weird.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
A lot of events, absolutely, and people just look for
a reason to do it. Yeah, they'll be like, well,
they'll they'll pick something else and then they'll be like
let's and then let's uh, let's do it, but let's
do it surrounded by beer taps, right, Like they look
for a reason to do it. It's super weird. But
here's on the on the flip side though, on the
flip side, though, you know, liquor, the only place you

(07:51):
can get well, the other place you get legal liquor
in North Carolina is from these state stores. And I
I gotta think they sat in there and they realize completely, yeah,
oh what would happen, Like they cut off the liquors.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Or they realized how much money they could make. They're like,
we're going to make so much money.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Look at you all the doctor evil on this. You're
probably right. Somebody had to think that. But they were
willing to deal with Christians who couldn't go sit in
a parking lot and listen to a sermon in their
car with the windows. But they weren't going to take
on the alcoholic alliance. That's what's crazy, which is going

(08:27):
to make you, you know, more susceptible to getting sick. Well,
but it's about soothing the masses. It's about soothing it is.
Yeah at that point, absolutely one hundred percent. So oh man,
all right, So there you go, bad news Boston. Paul
I Hope, I said his name, What are you going
to do? All right? Oh, yeah, he is. Their study

(08:49):
is wrong. I am living proof, all right, just saying
I I I tried, man, I tried. This was your intervention.
This was it. We had a note for you. We
were gonna send you to that that ranch. Is that
where they tried to send the intervention people, some doctor

(09:11):
Phil at a ranch or something. Was that even his show?
Or was it some other dude? I never wanted an intervention?

Speaker 4 (09:17):
Thing?

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Was was that doctor Phil? Or was that? I never watched?
No note, I don't see clips Doctor Drew. Oh, doctor Drew. Yeah,
but I'd see clips and I'm just like, Nope, I
have no interest in watching this. But then every now
and then somebody'd like really lose their crap, and then
I'd watch it like I'd like, what's her name? To

(09:39):
catch me outside? Girl. I still don't know what prompted that,
other than she was obviously a lunatic who then parlayed
her eighteen year old and thisess into a million dollars
in twenty four hours on the only fans. But so
maybe she got the last laugh. But she was just
a mouthy what fourteen year old or something trying to

(10:00):
fight everybody and think she's gangster. Yeah, know she's like
super rich and now she's super rich. What a horrible message,
you know what I'm saying. You're a fourteen year old. Look,
I had two little sisters, and don't get me wrong,
I was a tird but girls, sorry, girls, thirteen fourteen
year old girls that you're related to anyway, I guess

(10:22):
Stott when you're a thirteen fourteen year old boy. But like,
you go through some stuff. Guys go through some stuff too.
But I remember, like my sisters, which there used to
be fun and now they're teenagers and it was a
whole thing. So you couple that with, uh I hate
my parents, who look what this girl did. That's a
horrible I mean to be fair though, I mean back

(10:43):
when you were a kid and you were a jerk,
that's before OnlyFans. So you didn't have the way to
become a millionaire. No, that's well, I mean you could
still go to you know, you could go to Hollywood
or wherever they whatever CD suburb they do the filming,
or I guess Florida and you know, actually get into
the booze if you wanted. But uh no, you're right,

(11:04):
that is a pre only fan. Back in that day,
you had to just drop drop nudes in the AOL
chat and probably not even then, it would have been
a few years later. So uh anyway, all right, Oh
how times have changed. So there you go, one drinking
study into an OnlyFans cautionary tale and that's how your
morning starts. Six eighteen. Hang on, take take a trip

(11:26):
to the Twin Cities. So ross was tom. I did
see some of this? Is there is there quite a
bit of it with the I've seen a bunch because
people are saying, like, the way that the votes came
in was super weird because it took like but so
they're saying, like her district when they were saying, like,
you know, results coming in, it was like zero percent,
zero percent, and within an hour is like ninety five
point five percent, and you know, she had victory in

(11:47):
her district, and they saying, yeah, compared to other districts,
you weren't seeing the information coming that quickly. But I
think the people don't understand her district. Okay, let me
let me explain her district to you. If somebody lived
in Minneapolis, the fourth district which there at the time
she was elected, and they've they've moved some of the
district lines, but not really so the fourth district since
in what you'd refer to as West Northwest or North Minneapolis,

(12:13):
don't go there, don't go there along let's see Highway
fifty five Plymouth Avenue. Plymouth Avenue is kind of the
and Saint Paul's is what's the Tremember the avenue was Snelling.
You want to stay off Snelling there very very high
crime area. But as you get into suburbs up towards

(12:34):
Brooklyn Park, it is where most of the Somali immigrants live.
So and the you know, you drive through there and
there's a lot of Somali flags, Smali this, Smalling that,
and so it is a big identity issue. So yes, am,
I surprised that the Somali immigrant won an election when

(12:59):
a district has the highest percentage of small immigrants. I
think in the United States, by congressional district, it's sure
as hell has to maybe they went up by Deerborn,
but they're not all Somali up there. So yeah, and
I don't mean that as an insult. I mean that
is obvious, right you have because it's a very culturally,

(13:22):
it's a very sheltered group. The mung Are much more
integrated up in Minneapolis. Saint Paul and now the mung
have been here longer, so the chances are their kids
you would think that they're from you know, there's no
accent or anything there, but in a lot of its
third generation, whereas Somalia is more recent. But that being said, no,

(13:43):
I'm not surprised at all it is. That's but also,
stay off Plymouth. It's very, very dangerous. They used to
be you'd stay off Plymouth and you'd go down through
Loring Park to like Franklin Lake and Hennepin and Lyndale,
so you could go to h Uptown. But they burned
that down. So AnyWho does that explain it for you.

(14:05):
Somebody's gonna be like, oh, what a racist. Nope, Nope,
pull the numbers. It's it's it's it's a different district
than like Corey Bush was dealing with in in Missouri,
where it might be a D plus. In fact, hold
on what is her? I wonder if the D plus
is in the district. I don't know if I've looked
after the redistrict. It wasn't a huge redistricting, but it

(14:33):
it did, and if anything, it probably made it more
in favor of her Elino, her district D plus. Let's
see what that is? Hell is the plus symbol? I
never use it? All right, you know, look that bad
way up because she's fifth district now, right, So her

(14:56):
district change, her district number changed, but the area really didn't,
all right, And of course I can't, Oh, here we
go D now and I can't find it. Say this
is a primary. But you got to understand it is.
There is a lot of there's a lot of conflict,

(15:19):
especially among it's because it's a socioeconomically challenged area, but
also that part of Minneapolis used to be it was
primarily low income minority neighborhoods. And uh but you know,
but not immigrants. I mean, you did have immigrants, and
they're the among mostly are in Saint Paul. I shouldn't

(15:40):
say mostly, but that's where they have the largest largest group,
and they're kind of stacked, but they do spread them
across two districts. These woke mines in Minnesota. Basically that
was where they put a lot of the systems stuff too.
And so Crystal and Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, these are
all suburbs up there, and it kind of Richfield it

(16:05):
drew in a lot of immigrants, and then it caused
a lot of problems with you know, people have been
here six generations who are low income and people quote
unquote fresh off the boat from Somalia, and that's that's
been a big issue there. So look, I wouldn't want
to live in that district, and I'm sure a lot
of people that do also don't want to live in there,

(16:28):
but don't have a choice. I mean, and it is,
it is. I didn't realize it was far more entrenched
when they flipped her, because they just changed her district
number and then they packed they basically packed most of
the Somalis into one district, which I don't know. I
thought that's when you started lawsuits and stuff, but hey,
what do I know anyway? All right, so D plus

(16:49):
thirty did look it up? There you go, alrighty, let
me flip over to this. Deputies are searching and maybe
they found them. I looked, and I didn't see anything
this morning, So let me check one more time just
to make sure, so you're not, you know, walking around
trying to find a murderer today. I don't see that

(17:13):
they caught him. Usually they catch these dudes real quick
or you know where they go in the woods for
a while. Orange County Sheriff's Office is searching for Ramon Allston,
a dangerous inmate to escape while being transferred to UNC
Hospitals Hillsboro. Let's see black wearing a great T shirt? Wow?

(17:37):
Wral put a description with somebody's race in there. Are
you guys feeling? Okay? Orange County Sheriff's Office searching for
Ramone Allston thirty described it as a black man wearing
a great T shirt, khaki pants, and a new New
Balance tennis. What was he wearing? He was also wearing

(18:00):
handcuffs connected to a belly lead with that ross. Let
me ask you a question. If I told you to
keep your eyes peeled for a dude in khaki pants
and New Balance shoes today as you go about your business,
or a dude wearing handcuffs with a belly chain, which
one do you think might might be the better thing

(18:22):
to try to sp I.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Would probably say the handcuffs with the belly chain. Yeah, okay,
all right, because otherwise it sounds like any other middle
aged dude, right, yeah, Balances, I've.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Mean Carrie, what happened? Yeah? Yeah, Wait didn't you got
some new balances.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
I love new balance, That's what I'm saying. Yeah that
they're like the middle aged dude shoe, right, and then
as you get older, you move ont of the sketchers.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
Oh is that the time shoe? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (18:46):
Oh, I didn't even know what the old shoe. It
was like Nike, Rebo, Kadidas, whatever. When you're younger, and
then it goes a new balance and then sketcher.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Okay, all right, you want some really you want some
really comfortable shoes. I only like three pairs of these
things down. I'm like, I'm like a dude who like
other than the function thing. Like I have boots. I had,
you know, and then I got hunting boots, and I
got cold weather boots, and I got Cowboy I yes,
I own Cowboy boots. I know you're shocked, Jade Fraker,
So have you lived in the West, you'd be like,

(19:17):
that's impressive. Went to school with his granddaughter, and I
was able to buy a pair of boots off him.
He since pasted legendary saddle maker boot maker anyway, But
when it comes like everyday standard shoes, dude, the best
shoes I own are the ones I wear almost every day.
Are the Coasta the Costa shoes that have the removable insult.

(19:42):
They sell them at Tommy Bahamas. So if for a
middle aged dude, I know you're shopping there, so I
should check him out while you're in there. Anyway, Sorry,
a little plug there, don't or I'm not making any money,
but I do love these things, so I can maybe
those are my new balance. I guess. I don't know.
I want to screw with laces or anything. So anyway, yeah,
although he's probably removed the handcuffs in the chain or

(20:05):
you try to make it blend in which you know,
this is what I've always said, and I'll say it again.
If you're if you're a if you're listening to me,
and I know that we have some folks who are
currently incarcerated to listen. You guys send letters from time
to time, which I always feel bad because like, what
did you have to do for the stamp? I don't

(20:26):
want to know, but you know, whatever, if it kills
the time, that's fine. And then occasionally we've had people
call from institutions, so we get the thing where it's like, yeah,
this is a call from the you know, the the
such and such correctional facility. We're not accepting charges, but

(20:46):
some call and they're accepting charges. And it still feel it's.

Speaker 4 (20:50):
A little weird.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
But if escape on Halloween, how do you not know this?
This is my plan. If I ever, you know, get
falsely convicted of a string of hobo murders in the
North Northwest in the nineties, wait for Halloween, be like, ah,
my appendix, oh, my appendix. And then when they take

(21:14):
you over, you know, if you're gonna do your thing,
do your thing, and then like that's gonna buy you
a little bit of buffer, right, same if you want
to murder somebody in your front yard, you want to
have a dead body in your front I let me
ask you a question. I know this is really morbid
ross and I think it occurred to me one time,

(21:34):
probably when I was drinking. I always thought, you know,
there's got to be some cocky serial killer out there
who's displayed a victim on Halloween for the lulls, you
know what I mean. Right, Normally that's in the basement,
that's going into the secret field out in you know,
wherever you're burying your victims. But it's Halloween, so let's
throw that thing out in the yard. Yeah no, that's

(21:55):
got that's got to be like a true crime podcast somewhere.
That has to be. That's had to happen. I mean,
is that so I'm not crazy for thinking that. I
don't know why. I just I just assumed it's happened before.
And he Meanwhile, he's sitting there on his patio with
a bowl of candy. Right, none of the neighbor kids
are coming up because everybody's got to read on this dude.

(22:16):
Oh he's very quiet. Right, they don't let their kids
trigger treat there. Used to say they're the bowl of
candy watching people go oh look at that. Wow, that's
so realistic and just laugh in his serial killer butt off.
That's what I do. And then escaping Halloween all day? Yeah,

(22:37):
what do you? Whoa? Whoa, whoa? What's what's going on?
I'm a I'm a prisoner. Oh okay, all right, carry
out here. You want some candy, dude, give you a
ride somewhere. People need to consult me before they do
this stuff. Oh wait, Boston Paul just uh, he says,
sketchers absolutely the way to go ross. You're becoming Boston

(22:58):
Paul no, I'm listen. I love the New Balances and
eventually we will all become Boston Paul when it comes
to our feet. It's how it works. So I'm saying
this how I'm speaking the truth. No, no, no, no, it's
a timeline from my observational stuff. Absolutely, man.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
And you know I actually noticed because I had someone
to pointed out before to me on Twitch. That's they
pointed that out because I was going off how I
love the new Balances now and I don't care like
before I'd be like, oh, I can't be a new Balances.
Now I'm like, oh, they're amazing.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
I love them.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
But when my father in law was here this past week,
they're visiting from Louisiana, and we were doing some yardwork
and I looked down into his feet sketchers.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Oh so yeah, oh yeah, no way, yeah, maybe I've
already jumped the gun because these shoes, the shoes, literally
the shoes that I'm wearing right now, the ones I
just told you about, they basically operate like Sketchers. They
have a hard and back heel, so you you don't
even have to lean down and put your finger to
pull them on. So maybe I've already jumped the gun
to as lazy as possible. They're very comfortable when they breathe.

(23:55):
There was a time in the nineties right where they
were popular, though. Sketchers were thing. Yeah, you had those,
and you had the nineties you had those, la No,
you had the Adidas shoes, you remember, yep, everyone where
I had a pair of the black Adidas is and
I wore those things out. Man, dude, you don't realize.

(24:18):
Some of you do, obviously, but if you're younger, you
don't realize that the amount of what's the cred is
at the South Park where they're making fun of Prime,
they're calling it cred. But you know, obviously you don't
the amount of cred that you had strolling into my
high school in the mid nineties with a pair of

(24:39):
Adidas on and a No Fear or a big Johnson's shirt, right,
you know.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
No, And it goes the opposite way too, because back
in the day, at least up in New York, like
you had, you know, the Champion shirts are popular now,
Oh yeah, that was poverty back in the nineties. Like
if you were to wear the Champion stuff, that was
the stuff you'd find on like the the discount rack
or the or not the good will store, but like
the equivalent to that where it's like the discount store,

(25:05):
like if you rolled in with a championship and now
they're like popular, they're popular.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yeah, what was the other thing that blew me away?
What's the what's the clothing brand with the little alligator
on it? Am I trying to I can't remember the
name of it. It was really popular in the eighties
and by the nineties it was kind of ghetto. And
then like they have a that I saw for sale
at Macy's for like one hundred and ten dollars for
a shirt, So good on them with you know, pulling

(25:32):
a John Travolta, I guess reinvigorating your career. But holy crap, man, Yeah,
so everybody's got there. You look and if you asked
anybody what the what the uh most popular outfit is
or think about it from your high school, you probably
roll your eyes a little depending on what era, what
era you came through, But yeah, you know what she was.

(25:53):
I liked was the British Knights. Did you have those?

Speaker 3 (25:56):
I didn't have the one other with the with the
BK button When I was a kid, I had to
have those shoes with a stupid BK button.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Well, the rebock pumps. We've talked about this, because I
didn't have the regular ones. I got the fake Yeah,
I got the poverty ones. There's no air pumping. It's
just got a little fake basketball looking things sticking.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
Out on the sideline. A gym class like pumping up
your shoes, but it's not doing nothing.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
I'm totally pumping. Everybody knew what was up. No, no, no, no, no. So,
uh did you did you travel at all for any
Were you in any extracurriculars where you traveled. I was
in cross country, so yeah, we would like to go. Yeah,
so you know the rule on travel days you got
a dress you had we had to wear. We had
to wear a nice We had to wear a dress shirt,
which is you did we didn't. Oh yeah, we had

(26:39):
to wear for the football team and we had to
wear a dress shirt when we traveled. So remember the
silk dress shirts from the nineties. Did you ever have
any of those? I still got a ton of them. Man,
oh dude, oh man, I had some. I had some
really nice silk shirts fashion those aren't in fashion now. No,

(27:01):
you look nice. You look fine with your due balance
and your soap fresh thing. He's also wearing umbro shorts,
so ross'sued in. It's tucked in. Yeah, no, no, no, he's
he's a business above and uh athlete you know Jim below,
So he's kind of like an upside down mullet. Taking

(27:21):
a step further, why don't body farms have haunted trails
on Halloween. That's a good point, sir. The problem is
is only the government can have body farms. If I
try to have a body farm, what do you think
is gonna happen Ross if I open If we open
a body farm, all right, Casey and Ross is Halloween
extravaganza body farm. How fast do you think we get

(27:42):
shut down? About five minutes? Actually the police like you
have a you got a police like us, and the
fire people do because I think they brought Ross's shirts,
so maybe ten minutes before they come out and be like,
holy hell, what happened? Now I'm straight up on this
real killer thing that happened. Somebody displayed their work on

(28:04):
Halloween for lolls for laughs. Sorry, somebody emailed me last
time I said lowells and asked me what it meant
and if I'm gonna assume. I was gonna assume you
didn't have the Internet, but you emailed me, so I
assumed it was like an old timey Wyoming thing. You know,
when I first got into radio in Minnesota, I had
to break myself. There's some Wyoming phrases that I used

(28:27):
to say regularly that would cause confusion. You know, that'd
be a fun segment one time. I just made a
list and asked you if you knew what they meant. Hey,
some of them are pretty prettybus ubiquitous in other states.
I all had no cattle. I'm sure you've heard that before.
People say that in Wyoming a lot all had no cattle.

(28:48):
And it's not a positive thing. It doesn't mean they
like your hat. Basically, if you're if you come out
and you're gonna go, you come out to Wyoming, You're like, well, honey,
we're traveling to Wyoming. Let's go to the Western Store.
I got great stores like Kings and Sheridan is a
legendary Western store. Tourists would roll in there and buy
you know, Tony Lama boots and some of the Pigo

(29:11):
which like the Cowboys shirt. It was a brand of
cowboy shirts. At the time that the rodeo guys would
wear and and and then they get it and it's
all brand new with folds still in it, and you
look as ridiculous as Kamala cooking in the kitchen with
the chick from the office. Okay, and then people go, oh,
all hat, no cattle. So that's what that meant. So
do you guys have any fun sayings up in Schenectady?

(29:35):
Not along those lines? No? Oh well, anyway, all right,
let's see here it is six forty nine. We'll take
a break. Yeah, I literally I I've purged myself with
a lot of them. There's a lot of way Minnesota
sayings too that I wouldn't wouldn't use because people like,
what the hell are you talking about? But that's the

(29:55):
fun part, man, That's why I love learning this stuff. Anyway,
six point fifty, hang on, I think might be fun. Okay, okay,
so you ready barking squirrel.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
It's like somebody that's like small, but they've like they
talk a big talk.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
No, it's it'd be a prede dog or a rock
chuck them. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they bark. Man.
It's actually pretty creepy. Buckle bunny. This was one of
my favorite. Do you know what a buckle bunny is?
I had no idea that are those are women who
chase uh rodeo guys around, So we call them buckle bunnies, right, Oh,
so they're like groupies. Yeah, they're great. It's just the

(30:32):
cow They're just cowboy groupies. Man. So doubt Doubt's another
one that we use. I've used. That's one I used
on the air, and people thought it was saying doubt
like d O U B T. But it's d O
W T or d O U T and it literally
is a phrase. It just means putting out a fire.

(30:53):
That's when I had I've never heard that before, so
and I was be like, ah, the fire, but the
engine showed up in doubt it. Yeah, I honestly I
didn't know I was saying it wrong until I got
I moved away. People in California didn't know what the hell
it was either around the beach got a fire going, Yeah,
you gotta we should doubt that before we leave? What

(31:13):
don't doubt it? Be positive? A lot of hippies down there, greenies.
You've heard me use that on the radio. That's what
we call Colorado because he's got the green license plate.
Let's see Nanny Slammers. Those were those were there's more
rodeo stuff. Yeah, that's like Kamala Harris's husband. It's the

(31:38):
goat ropers. Oh, I was close a female rodeo event. Hypnolope.
You know what a hypno lope is? That is that's
like a hippie who is like if it's a fat hippie. No,
it's you know, the antelope. You've seen the antelope. You
look at Utah, you're familiar with them. Obviously, we call
him hypnal lopes up in California. Went over at Disney

(31:59):
that to tell Disney's lawyers and people work for Disney, Hey,
for like five seconds, could you all not be Rocky
Mountain Canaries. I didn't get to that phrase, Rocket Ross.
What do you think Rocky Mountain Canary? Oh? Wait, Ross
is fixing something cause their computer sucks. Rocky mount Canary
is is a donkey or a jackass? The wyoming thing whatever.

(32:24):
I never understood that one either, but that was my
polite way of going Disney. What are you doing? Man?
Don't you have enough bad pr chugging along? So a lawsuit?
This is this is a wrongful death lawsuit. Now, to
be fair, we do have a running bit on this
show where anytime there's a death near Disney World that's

(32:46):
really unusual, like they had a worker on one of
the rides die in a smelting accident, we just assume
that's cover up for they got eaten by an alligator.
And they've been doing that ever since that boy got
eaten by an alligator. But that's just us being fun,
because that's what we are, is fun. Right, This is
serious stuff. Disney trying to get a wrongful death lawsuit

(33:10):
that has been filed by New York University doctor's grieving husband.
So this guy and his wife, they go down to Disney,
they eat at I don't understand that. I didn't understand
the true scope of this until I had it explained
to me by somebody who owns a house across the
lake from Disney in front of radio friend of mine
that even when you think you're not in Disney and

(33:32):
doing business with Disney, once you get off that exit,
you're doing business with Disney like like they own. And
and by the way, that's because Disney. I don't know
if you know this, see I do. I do happen
to research some Disney stuff, even if I'm not a
Disney goer. The way that Walt Disney was able to
get disney Land to get a foothold in was not

(33:57):
just that he created something that you know, people I've
foreseen before. It was pretty amazing. But you have to
remember that the land that he bought where Disney sits
in Anaheim at the time was was orange groves and
avocado trees, and there was nothing near there. It would
be akin to going down to and putting Disney in.

(34:19):
I don't want to pick on any town, but basically
out in the middle of nowhere. And you had to
get people then to commute at a time when they
you know, it wasn't like now where you'd be like, yeah,
I'll drive three hours to go to an amusement. I'll
go to two and a half hours or whatever to
go down to Charlotte. People that wasn't their thing, man,
So you had to get him to come there from
Los Angeles proper. And so he put all his money

(34:41):
into the park, but you had to have the other stuff.
You had to have hotels for people to stay because
it was such a long distance and people were coming
from other parts of California and the country. You had
to have restaurants, you had to have all this stuff.
So he had to go like beg people in the
hospitality industry to do business in. Almost every single place

(35:04):
turned him down. All the big hotel companies at the time,
big restaurants or restaurant restaurant tours. And there was a
dude from Texas who saw the opportunity and he he
made He said he would do it, but Disney had
to guarantee him exclusivity and it was a license to

(35:26):
print money. So when Disney World rolled around, they decided,
never again will they miss out on that revenue. We're
going to everything that you see is going to be
Disney owned. So even hotels that are out of there,
you know, whole housing developments, obviously, restaurants. You think you're
not on Disney property, but you're doing business with Disney,

(35:48):
which is fine, whatever, That's not my beef. This is
my beef. Are you ready? So this this doctor and
his wife go down to Disney. It is was this
guy's name, Jeffrey Piccolo. Is the is the New York

(36:08):
University doctor his wife. Oh, it's unfortunate. This is her name,
Canoe Porn to Gosson, I'm not miss I'm not mispronouncing
that that's there's a k in there, though maybe I am. Anyway,

(36:28):
So they go down to Disney. She suffered a fatal
allergic reaction at a one of the restaurants near Disney Springs,
which I don't know what that is, but I guess
it's part of Disney. So and uh, you know it
was after being assured, after being absolutely assured that this
was not in there. Very sad story. Disney, though, has

(36:51):
filed in response to the to the wrongful death lawsuit,
the following defense and this is going to make your
blood boil. They have argued that the lawsuit should be
thrown out because the doctor and his wife agreed to
go to arbitration with Disney. How did they do that,

(37:11):
according to Disney's lawyers, because he had a he took
a thirty day free trial on a PlayStation for Disney Plus.
It sounds like one of their kids did, right, So
when signing up for the Disney Plus app for a
thirty day free trial. In the terms of service, it says,

(37:32):
quote let's see here, saying the Disney Plus subscriber agreement
that Piccolo signed or was signed in his household on
his behalf via PlayStation. Is that for any dispute that
Piccolo has with Disney, with the exception of small claims,
all will be resolved by individual binding arbitration. Disney pulled

(37:54):
the arbitration card. Not for the not for even on
the tickets, because a lot of time you ever go
to a sporting event to flip over your ticket, there
may be an arbitration agreement on there, but for something
that was not remotely related to what he did. Right,
Disney Plus, I had a free trial at Disney Plus
when it first came out. I paid for it for

(38:14):
a little while. I don't need Moore, but I had
that ross. Did you know you have Disney Plus? Right?
Did you know that if you go to Disneyland and
you get eaten by an alligator, mark, he's got to
go to arbitration? We did.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
We read the terms and conditions. It's clearly right there.
It's right there. Yeah, how you know?

Speaker 1 (38:34):
I know some lawyers who I respect and like very much,
but these are the cats that This is why there's
the jokes. This is the south Park episode? Right? Yes
it is? Yes?

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Is it Kyle doesn't read that. I think it's Kyle
doesn't read the terms and conditions and then they come
from Apple and they turn them into a human centipede
and they're like, it was right there, dude. The rest
of his friends are like, wait, you didn't read the
terms and conditions.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
At least Kyle got to pick which end of the
centipede he wanted, and it was with the dude from
the Walk. I can't say the name of it, but
the Chinese restaurant, right, and he's the lead part of
the centipede and he's but he keeps eating all these
horrendous Chinese dishes right right? You wanna eat the vanilla paste? Yeah,
He's like, do you want to vanilla ice cream cone?

(39:18):
Or pangalin? And you can hear the restaurant going, it's
a great episode. In fact, you know what it is.
I think that's the episode in that South Park documentary,
was it five Days to Er or whatever. I think
that's the episode they're working on in there. So Disney's arguing,
this is I'm telling you, man, this is don't get
me wrong, corporations. This is why you hire a team

(39:40):
of lawyers. They got to come up with something. The
fact is that it looks like it looks like if
the story is as Piccolo says, a lot of extreme
negligence here. But to take the fact that he was
a Disney how does that make you feel? As a
Disney Plus subscriber the two or not? And thankfully, because

(40:00):
they filed this in Florida, where there's at least a
tidbit of common sense, the judge was not pleased. An
emotion filed in Orange County, Florida Circuit Court. Disney argued
that Disney Plus subscriber agreement binds him, or at least
obligates him to use individual binding arbitration. They also added

(40:24):
the Piccolo, excuse me, agreed to similar language when he
downloaded the My Disney Experience app. So they're sticking this
stuff in the app right there, And of course that's
not at all what is intended. It's about the individual thing,
right so by Disney, I guess maybe you can buy

(40:44):
tickets on there. So I guess maybe that if you
bought tickets and you thought there was shenanigans you want
to resolve it, that that would be the resolution with
the app, not your wife dying at a restaurant because
they told her there was no shellfish in there or whatever.
It doesn't say what the allergy was, does it? Here
we go, all right, So the forty two year old,

(41:05):
his wife was forty two, died of a severe allergic
reaction anaphylaxis, just hours after dining at the Raglan Road
Irish Pub and restaurant. The physician, who had worked at
Manhattan's Nyu Lagoon Hospital, repeatedly stressed to wait staff that
she has nutt and dalla and dairy allergies, and she

(41:28):
ordered scallops, onion rings, broccoli and corn fritters. And at
each point he and he, I'm sure he pulled that.
I'm a doctor and I'm telling you it's really really bad,
which is fine, he should, right if it's really because
some people have allergies, and some people have allergies, right.
And they did administer an EpiPen to her. That's the

(41:49):
people were like, why didn't you have an EpiPen? They did,
They did have an EpiPen, and she had just there
was so whatever was in there was so much. I
guess that it didn't matter, which is pretty crazy because
those you see those EpiPens on TV where they put
in a person like thirty seconds later they're talking sports. Again,
that's not how that goes, and especially in this situation.

(42:12):
So it doesn't say in a lawsuit what exactly they
think was in there. But they did test her, and
obviously they showed that she had consumed nuts in a
significant manner. Maybe the broccoli, but you could do broccoli
with almonds, but you can see the almonds, especially if
you have if you have a nut allergy. I gotta

(42:35):
think you're Johnny on the Spot with that stuff. But
either way, maybe walnut oil. I don't know if that works.
But yeah, so what a bount you scumbags.

Speaker 4 (42:45):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
Absolutely, this is why we this is why we advocated
for having drug lords dropped into the park. Aditially. I
wanted him tethered to stuff so that we could come
along and arrest them, but not just put them in there.
Mag a Disney problem. So we'll see, we'll see where
that goes. The judge was not impressed. I'm sure they'll

(43:08):
come up with something else, all right. Eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven four h Dennis Kuai,
you I do this Dennis Quaid story, Dude, When you
got big Hollywood people coming out and going, hey, you're
throttling stuff. I know that maybe just go hey, maybe
the system's broken. I know that most of social media
they don't think the system's broken because it's accomplishing what

(43:30):
they want. But they're marketing. They're trying to market a movie,
and they're literally buying advertising too. This is why this
story is so much worse than you know, you made
a post about how you feel about this politician, or
you posted the Donald Trump photo right, the iconic photo
of fist in the air, flag over, and then Facebook
throttled it, which they admitted to doing, by the way,

(43:53):
is on accident. But this is something totally differ. So
we'll get into what Dennis Quad's beef is about. And
already Boto places use peanut oil as frying oil. Yeah no, no, no,
I know that that's probably with the onion rings that

(44:13):
might be in the fritters, both fried foods. But you know,
but it's also one of the really easy things some
of reading an email here one of the really easy
things for restaurants where I've seen restaurants where they accommodate,
they use you know, something else. So because I like
peanut oil, let me wrong if you're going to deep

(44:34):
fry turkey and you don't have a nut allergy, you
should be using peanut oil. Just my two cents, but
obviously not a good thing if you are very, very
allergic to them. All right, So we'll get into the
into the Dennis Quaid thing, because that should be far
more disastrous for them than anything else. And San Francisco

(44:56):
has done something crazy. No, Now know what you're thinking, like, well,
does that word even have meaning in Sani? You know
what I think it does, and I'll explain next why
it does. Hang on. San Francisco has filed felonies against moonbats.
I want to repeat this, San Francisco has filed actual

(45:17):
felony charges against some of their fellow moonbats, right, because
you know you got San Francisco. Does anybody get charged
for anything?

Speaker 4 (45:27):
No?

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Not that guy pooping right there? How about the guy
were there doing the same No? No, okay. How about
these people looting all the stores till they shut down?
Do they get charged?

Speaker 2 (45:36):
No?

Speaker 1 (45:36):
It was under a night It was nine hundred ninety
eight dollars. Wow, what a queen kadik Okay, all right,
but the the bridge too far pun intended? Is the
shutting down of the San Francisco Bridge that was done
by twenty six of these pro Hamas protesters. They have

(45:56):
been hit with felony charges of false in prison after
they shut down the Golden Gate Bridge. This was back
in April, so they were some of the early early adopters.
Eight are accused of felony, conspiracy, trespassing, obstructing a thoroughfare,
refusal to disperseed. You know, this reminds me of Ross.
You remember that story we did about a month ago
in the UK where they're going to throw the art

(46:18):
vandals and the roadblockers. Like they started. There was a
judge who had it out, started harding out sentences and
like the really really that CEO mom, her daughter's in
there and her daughter's got like five years in prison
for shutting down. They had a whole list of all
of the causes, right, Like there was a woman who

(46:39):
ended up giving birth in a dangerous situation because she
couldn't get through there. Like they made a very clear
cut case for it, but they absolutely couldn't deal. So
now they're saying that after the DA there charged twenty
six of these idiots with false in prism at eight feloniously,
including trespassing, obstructing a thoroughfare, refusal, and a riot. They

(47:02):
declared it a riot. They're you know, feasibly they should
be doing some jail time. But yeah, blocking the bridge
to talk about how much you hate the Jews, that's
that's a as I said, a bridge too far in
San Francisco. I don't know these will go anywhere. And
by the way, with some of the elon Trump stuff,

(47:23):
it's labor unions who are being intentionally dishonest, which again
shows you that intellectual honesty within politics is dead. There's
not even that. There's no expectation where you would feel
bad about. You know, I shouldn't word it that way.
People might misinterpret what I'm trying. That doesn't exist because
it doesn't matter. The ends justify the means, because you

(47:44):
created a candidate in your own mind that is literally
satan and not just stupid or ineffective or any of
those things, but it will literally be the end to
your life as you know it, and you've convinced people
of that. So that's a really easy way to shake
off moral objections to doing stuff. Okay, so that's on you.

(48:10):
So then you couple it with insane lawsuits. Algerian boxer
a Maine Khaliph. So this is the gold medal winner,
and I think the sixty kilogram, yeah, they use kilogram
whatever women's boxing there at the Olympics. Obviously, this is
the x Y chromozoone, the super high testosterone. And again,
as we've said on this show, as I understand the situation,

(48:34):
this is not somebody who decided that they would transition,
but rather somebody who's dealing with a really unique, very
rare condition, but one that bestows upon them testosterone levels
and strength and speed that you would associate with the
man couple with the x Y chromosome. And I don't know,
it's one of those things where it's just like sometimes

(48:55):
life isn't fair. Let me ask you a question. If
it's somebody who was born female but has very high testosterone,
I don't think most people in non contact sports are
going to go the full this is a transgender person route.
I think it's the part because they watched you on

(49:16):
video breaking other women's faces. You know, in a way
that other than a couple MMA matches some that I
can think of some really good ones. Actually, you just
don't see in the world of boxing because the glove,
you know, the glove size. You have the gloves obviously,
but the size of what you're using is significantly more.
We look like MMA fights. She was busting these folks up.

(49:40):
So I don't know, but now she's suing Elon Musk
and JK. Rowling for cyberbullying and her lawyers are looking
into Donald Trump. So and Algery. Of course, Algerie, if
you want to start something, that's fine. I don't know that.
I'd be in North Africa running my mouth. The last
time somebody did that, they died with a stick in
their But so looking at you, Kadafi and you know,

(50:07):
it was funny. Have you said, Ross, have you seen
this where people are lionizing Goddaffi? Now I've seen some
of these posts where they're just like they don't have taxes, nobody, uh,
you know, free electricity for everybody. It's a paradise. And
I'm like, you know the dude bomb passenger plants, right,

(50:28):
are you familiar? Are you familiar with this? Like you've
heard of locker Bee? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He was
one of those things where they are they're trying to
lionize him and it's like I think their main point
is you know, or maybe it's not, but he didn't
he sort of he was an awful dude, but he
stabilized the region. So it's like, which side do you want? Yeah, yeah, no,

(50:51):
they took him out. That's it argument you can make.
But no, no, no, no, I'm seeing people going a step
further where they're like, why wouldn't you want to live here?
Electricity is free? And it's like maybe like five seconds
after you open your power bill, I would understand what
that thought aldcross your mind, but after that you got
to think about it. But also like, you know what,

(51:12):
I should have reposted this, but it just show blew
me away over the weekend because they were like this
is they had all these fun facts, right, they didn't
have this. He couldn't There was one fun fact where
it was like they didn't have this, and then it
was because, yeah, because you don't allow those people to
live there. So anyway, where are you saying, no, I

(51:32):
saw that meme going back a while ago. Yeah, just
so dumb man. So just you know, keep note Algeria
and that's not the only lawsuit. Now, we have lawsuits
that were filed over the Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Oh,
I'm sorry, we have ross. Can you put that piece
of audio back up where he's like, you like to

(51:53):
fire people. Did we have that yesterday? I can't remember
so many of these. I think we did, all right.
So because they're they're clearly conflating two things, you're and
they're doing it because again, it's another arm of the
Democratic Party, in this case the labor unions that are

(52:15):
willing to go out there and do stuff. It's the
same thing like with with Reverend soul Glow, the buffets Layer,
for all those years in North Carolina, there was a
period where for all practical purposes he was the official
spokesman of the Democratic Party of North Carolina. Didn't even
they I couldn't even tell you who it was at
the time, that's how bad it was. And I have

(52:36):
a rolodex full of these people. And so you sit
there and you watch that and you realize it's all
hands on deck, like, uh, was it tracking the blue
or tracking the left? What was the civitas thing? I'm
telling you, if you've never seen this, where you start
seeing the the actual the absolute tentacles of things like

(52:58):
the z Smith Reynolds Found Nation and many of the
others here, these large charitable but also very activist groups,
and how all the money flows. It's very like the
dude who's running against Michelle Morrow Mo Green, not that
Mo Green, that Mo Green Dayge should have made the deal,
should have made the deal. I mean, how do you

(53:19):
not make the deal? And after what happened to that
Hollywood producer, which I'm sure Mo Green had to be
aware of, right Ross, wouldn't you say that Mo Green
king of Vegas obviously deal with all the Hollywood folks
that are coming to Vegas, would be aware of what
they did to that Hollywood producer and his horse, like
that story travel Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry

(53:41):
you think it for that cut. Don't worry about don't
worry about it. Don't worry about if you can't find it. Okay,
So anyway, but going back to like, so the guy
who's running for education secretary of Education secretary here in
North Carolina, that's where that's he cut his teeth over
at z Smith Reynolds. These are all actloose now he's

(54:02):
running as a Democrat, but you need to understand all
of the stuff behind the scenes, all the stuff that
they literally accuse of Republicans, and Republicans try to do,
but I would argue they're not as good at it.
Is exactly what we're talking about here. So, like when
you get into these organizations, whether it be the labor

(54:22):
unions or any of the others, they're willing to step up.
That's why the teachers' unions will get in there and
they'll be like, oh yeah, let's yeah, let's essentially hold
a fundraiser and let's use a bunch of the donations
or the donations the dues from our members, even members
who were forced to be in our union, which is
a thing, and it was a thing that to this day,

(54:45):
I cannot understand how the Supreme Court allowed to continue
to be a thing. You would force people to be
in the union, forced people I knew people in Minnesota
who were teachers. They didn't have a choice. You're in
the union. So they go out and they sue, man,
they sue. So here's what Trump and must said that

(55:06):
has prompted this lawsuit.

Speaker 5 (55:08):
I mean, if so, I mean, I mean, I think
it would be great to just have a government efficiency
commission that takes a look at these things and and
just ensures that the taxpayer money that the taxpayers are
harder money is spent in a good way. And I'd
be happy to help out on such a commission.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
I'd love Well, you you're the greatest cutter. I mean,
I look at what you do. You walk in, you
you want to quit.

Speaker 1 (55:35):
They go and strike.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
I won't mention the name of the company, but they
go on strike, and you say, that's.

Speaker 1 (55:39):
Okay, you're all gone.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
You're all gone. So every one of you is gone,
and you are the greatest. You would be very good. Oh,
you would love it. But you know, if you look
at Argentry, by the way, congratulations. I just looked at
the number of people that are listening to you and
I chat will quote a chat, but congratulations.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
This is very good. I mean it's great. Okay. So,
and he called them the great cutter all that stuff.
So that irritated the labor unions and they're like ah,
And specifically the part where he said you know where
Trump said, you know the great cutter he's referred to
when Musk bought Twitter, right, And there were several incidents,
but they were not labor union contract incidents, Okay, they

(56:21):
were large groups of workers who either didn't want to
do what Trump wanted were clearly bloated. When he came
into the company, he made the requisite announcement following the purchase,
because you have to tell the labor relations or the
labor the government if you're going to if you're going
to fire. And I don't know what the threshold is,
if it's a number of percentage or whichever is lower,

(56:43):
I think of the two, you have to announce it.
That's why you see these stories where they say Microsoft's
going to be laying off five thousand workers. Do you
think Microsoft put that out because they're proud of it. No,
they put it out because they're legally obligated to. So
he followed those rules. But when they came to the
other stuff, what you were talking about is you were
talking about groups that were holding protests and conference rooms.

(57:05):
Remember the Google was a Google or YouTube. They just
fired a bunch of people for this. Think it was
Google Google where people just decide they're going to do
whatever they're going to do. There was no formal labor contract, right,
Sally Field's not over here banging the drum for stuff,
and so it's a pointless thing. So what does the
United Auto Workers do. They announced they had filed federal

(57:28):
labor charges against Trump and must for allegedly making illegal
attempts to threaten and intimidate workers engaging in protected activity. No,
they weren't. They fired a bunch of people either didn't
want to move, didn't want to do what they were doing,
were openly hostile to Elon Ross. You remember the photos
of Like the Bat where you'd see people in the
background that were death glaring Elon when he was touring Twitter,

(57:51):
including like Upper Management. He fired all those people, And
why would you want him around there if if they're
not going to get with the program. And look, Elon's
program may be different, maybe weird, but it's his program.
I told you the server story earlier this week. Fired
a bunch of people then, so it's just it's just again,
it's law fair. It's meant to drain money. Not that

(58:13):
they're going to get enough to make a dent in
either of these two, but just make things difficult so
they don't do it. It's an inkind political donation that
will go unregistered. All right, race stage and here to
make a donation to your Weather Fund, the Great Weather Fund.
All short of funds and charitable stuff. I got a
crazy charity story for you coming up in a few minutes. Anyway,

(58:35):
I got for you, though. You have to do the weather.

Speaker 4 (58:37):
You have to do that, oh sorry, well yeah, and
maybe contribute to my fund for the delivery of what's
a beautiful morning? Up down?

Speaker 1 (58:47):
Get things right once and you're just.

Speaker 4 (58:49):
Blind squirrels and corns. Man, Come on, I mean, this
is a nice tree for the middle of August, a
low sixties, triad, mid sixties, trying a little fog. There
was an advisory for some of the It looks like
the Weather Service slept on us for the fog. But
most of that looks like visibilities are coming up to
I'm seeing six miles eight miles, so if you can't
see that far, yeah, you've got bigger problems in the mountains.

(59:12):
Is actually in the upper fifties, so beautiful start to
the day, nice finish, maybe a passing shower, thunder shower,
not much rain and mid eighties today. Then we'll go
to the mid upper eighties as we go through Thursday,
Friday to beautiful days. Lows will still be in the
low to mid sixties. I think we'll start to feel
some changes for the weekend, maybe little early will increased
humidity and maybe some rain chances starting to come back

(59:33):
widespread most likely not just some afternoon stuff for Saturday
and Sunday. Arnesto's put power out on Puerto Rico. Now
we're over three hundred thousand customers. I believe as the
center passes now heads toward Bermuda and strengthen, it's probably
becomes a hurricane that stays well off east coast. If
you are heading to the beaches next week or later

(59:53):
this week into the weekend, may start kicking up some
of the surf and the rip currents, but shouldn't be terrible.
But certainly that would be if there already impacts from Ronesto.
That would be where they are. So another storm, but
this time this one's amiss.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
Okay, all right, I do appreciate it, sir. We'll talk
in an hour. Thank you. All right, there you are
race staging by the way, I was trying to grab
Elon's tweet here. Oh Ross, did you see that Donald
Trump didn't tweet anything yesterday? Or I shouldn'tay he didn't
tweet anything. He didn't tweet like he normally does. There
was some stuff that clearly looks like videos posted and stuff.

(01:00:30):
Is he not going to embrace the Twitter thing again?
I don't know, because right now it looks like it's
it's like you said, what they're putting out a super
focused and right yeah and on message. He why would
you abandon the thing that works so well for you?
Or I guess arguably not well, I don't know. Maybe
the people around him. You can't control him to the
Union folks, though, Elon Musk tweeted, the last two ua

(01:00:53):
W presidents went to prison for bribery and corruption and
based on recent news, it looks like this guy will
join him. Now I will fact check our community. Note Elon,
technically there was one dude between the two who were
went to jail for corruption. They had like one dude
in there for a short period of time who somehow
managed not to get arrested for corruption. And then Sean Fain,

(01:01:16):
who's the guy who runs it so whose name sounds
like Shin Faine. But that doesn't stop Elon. So there
you go, all right, seven forty nine, hang on, ross,
have you guys with your was it Hayes Global Initiative
and the Lambeau for It's not Lambeau for the kids anymore? Right,
you switched to something else?

Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
Yeah know, we divested to the flamethrower robodog for the
children for the children.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
Yes, you guys haven't been rocked by any major scandals yet,
have you. There's no reason to be. We are legit
for real charity. Okay, Children for the children? Right. Well,
let's say the children came over and you wanted to
give them candy, right, Kids like candy, right, Yeah, so
you had a little candy for him. Would that be okay?
For the care We would not be giving anything to

(01:01:58):
the children except the flaming robodog. What if you put
the candy bowl on the flaming robodog and then it
was like a challenge to get the candy.

Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
We talked to our lawyers and there's too much there.
They could choke on the candy, they could be allergic
to the candy, So they're no candy for the children.
What if it's meth candy, that would probably be problematic. Yeah,
it wouldn't be good.

Speaker 1 (01:02:21):
The is New Zealand New Zealand charity is apologizing after
distributing dozens of pineapple flavored candy cut with meth and
not a little bit. Wait to year how much was
in here. The Auckland City Mission, which looks like a
good charity. They donate parcels of essentials to New Zealanders
can't afford foods like you know, like you know, food

(01:02:44):
for people, or food insecure or having a tough time.
It's a charity again, you know, these charities seem to
be far more efficient at it than government, so good
on them. Unfortunately, it looks like they didn't check a donation,
which I don't know about this because again I once'
you hear how much meth was in these candies. It's

(01:03:04):
a miracle that didn't kill anybody. They say that somebody
had donated the candies which were sealed, and they look
like the bag looks like you know when you go
to a gas station they have like one hundred different
bags of little candies there and they're always like they
used to be. Remember when they were two for fifty cents.
Now they're two for like nine dollars or whatever you seem.
The truck stops looked like one of those little pineapple candies. Unfortunately,

(01:03:24):
the candies sent several people to the hospital. Thankfully, nobody
is still in the hospital. They estimate after testing that
each bag contained three grams of meth. I'm going to
repeat that, and for those of you wanting to do
the math, I want you to picture in your head
the cocaine bag they found in the White House or

(01:03:47):
you got that picture the little tiny zip block, which,
by the way, if you're a zip block, you know
what people are buying those four for crafting supplies. Sure. Anyway,
whatever that was what a half gram they said was
in there. I think this at a half gram, so
six times the amount of powder that was in that bag,
I can't even imagine, as you as you probably know,

(01:04:09):
And by the way, welcome hour number three. Glad to
have you along. As you probably know, San Francisco is
kind of like the guinea pig test market for driverless
cars here in the US, specifically Waimo, which is a
spin off of the Google company or Alphabet I guess
is the parent company, and they've been doing driverless cars

(01:04:32):
in around San Francisco. Who's been permissive of it? Obviously,
you know, a lot a lot of places don't allow it,
although more and more are. We had that video not
long ago of an officer pulled over a driverless car
and he didn't even hit it with his night stick.
I mean, what a waste. But they've been people have

(01:04:53):
been dealing with this for better in a decade in
San Francisco. In fact, fifteen years, that's how long San
Francisco is allowed, to some extent driverless cars to operate
on their roads. So you've had fifteen years to work
on this, and I understand that it's not easy, and frankly,
you know, it might be unachievable in some instant you know,

(01:05:14):
in some traffic situations, I can't and maybe not in
the US. Have you ever been to a foreign country
where there's clearly no traffic laws. If you go to
if you go to Dominican Republic, you pretty much do
whatever you want. Not that you'd want to drive around there,
but I've had the I've done that. I've driven from

(01:05:36):
the north to north side to the south side at
military checkpoints, but you can pretty much do whatever you want.
A lot of Central Americas like that. You know, they
have signs and stuff, and they don't really enforce anything.
And so when you get into more you know, busier
areas or have you ever been to Asia, You ever
been in one of the big cities in Asia and

(01:05:57):
seen traffic around there or India if you've ever seen
the videos. I don't know how driverless car would ever
work there, but San Francisco's where they're testing them, and
they've had some problems. Although I was correct in saying
that that driverless cars would turn into essentially sex booths,

(01:06:19):
which is a thing because of court you have driverless ubers,
people drunk from a bar, heavy petting each other in
the back of that thing. You know what's going to happen.
But I digress. So here's what happened here. So they
have a big parking lot and it's surrounded by residential buildings,

(01:06:40):
and it is it's the charge up station in the
parking lot where the cars go to at night recharge
and sleep I guess, you know, or whatever. And then
at four in the morning the cars come alive and
then they go out and they actually, you know, they
have an algorithm to predict them based on usage in
different parts to the city. But they moved where they

(01:07:03):
were re storing the cars and they moved it into
this area, which makes more sense that it's closer to
where the actual people wanting to use them. Are. But
at four am there's video from the security build of
the security footage from the buildings adjacent to this parking lot.
They keep causing traffic jams in their own parking lot
because they're all trying to leave at the same time.

(01:07:24):
It's like, it's like when you're trying to leave you know,
the UNC game or whatever, and it's just you just
idiots abroad, you know, everywhere. Man. So that's that's funny enough.
But when they have a function, which is the most
pointless function I've ever heard of, so a they will
honk to alert based on proximity another vehicle to their presence. Now,

(01:07:49):
it's not impractical when you're out in the real world
and the car is not another driverless car, that makes sense.
Hey I'm backing up, or hey i'm behind you. You know,
we we have little honks in certain situations. That reminds
me in when I was driving in Costa Rica. They

(01:08:11):
literally people will honk to let you know they're going
to run a stoplight and then they'll just run it,
but at least they honked and everyone's just good natured
about It's really weird. But anyway back to this, so,
so these folks are waking up four am to fifty
one hundred cars honking in Unison. But here's the deal.
Why would you have to honk to another driverless car

(01:08:34):
whose network you're connected to? And the answer is, you don't.
This is a simple programming thing. If it's honking to
alert its presence and it's because of proximity to another
vehicle that it knows is another driverless vehicle, just have
your computer brain tell the other computer brain the honking's
purely perfunctories for show. It's for the person who thinks

(01:08:54):
in the back of the car. Let me ask you
this question. So I didn't know that. I didn't realize
that have fifteen years to work on this ross. Will
you get a driverless car? Would you get inside? If
if I said, hey, man, driverless car coming by the station.
They want to show it off.

Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
You want to go for a while, like just for fun,
like around the parking lot? Are we going on like
the belt?

Speaker 1 (01:09:14):
No? No, no, no, we're gonna go. You're gonna take the loop.
I'm passing on that. But why you not to drive?
You can sit in the back and you said wherever
you want, do whatever you want. I only get in
cars that have drivers that I'm paying for. Are you
getting here? Does your wife drive? When you guys know
we have drivers? Oh so first see you? No, I
like driving, man, I like driving my own car. Well,

(01:09:36):
I understand that, but that's not all. I mean, you
don't drink anymore, but like you know, when you're drinking,
you don't get the Uber. I would encourage people to
do that or the Lyft. I actually like Lyft a
little more. But yeah, I mean I'm super weird man,
And you know I don't drink at all. We don't
drink either, this markie. And I've never used an Uber
or a Lyft either. Really yeah right, I've never even
downloaded the app even when you're travel I guess you

(01:09:57):
right in a car? We don't have to visit your mom? Yeah, okay,
yeah I was. I was initially hesitant, and that's enough
for me. I had. I took an Uber one time
and the woman drove on the sidewalk. Is that not
a reasonable place to drive? Well, she only drove the
two passenger side tires of the sidewalk. The other two

(01:10:19):
were on the road, so I don't know if she
was trying to do a weird stunt cars on two wheels.

Speaker 3 (01:10:24):
Was she like avoiding a child or something, or like a.

Speaker 1 (01:10:27):
Pola couldn't use the app? So I figured out is
she she had technological mental meltdown because she didn't start
the ride. So she picked me up, and I cause
I could see her phone out of there. She picks
me up and she starts like going like a half
mile an hour, and she's screwing with her phone. I'm like, okay,
she's just starting the ride, but it's not working. Then

(01:10:47):
she starts taking off at like freeway speeds and we're
going down. This is on Atlantic Boulevard in Raleigh, so
this is from uh, this is from essentially by my
house to a downtown is where I'm going. And so
she comes off there, she flips over to Atlantic, which

(01:11:08):
is you know's that's what five blocks she's probably moved
to get to Atlantic from my house. So she's gone
five blocks either a half mile an hour or at
about sixty on street. And she keeps it and I
can see what it's doing. It keeps yelling directions at
her to turn around to go back to my house
where she had picked me up. And it's because she

(01:11:30):
didn't press starts, so it still thinks it's going to
pick me up, and she can't handle it. All of
a sudden, the car jumps up in the air and
she's driving on the sidewalk. Now, what would you do
if you were driving on the sidewalk? You just you
lost concentration, and now two tires are on the sidewalk.
What would you do? I would say, oh my god,
I would drive back into the road. You drive back
in there, or you might stop right, you may stop yeah, okay,

(01:11:50):
she did either of those. She's like, this lane works.
And we went down Atlantic down past the where they
had where they built all the new restaurants, and then
where the brewery used to be there, or where the
breweries and the waste management all that is. So it's
that stretch from like six forks to when you go

(01:12:12):
to get on the freeway down on Capitol Ble. She
drove that whole top section before he came down the
hill on the damn sidewalk, And only when you get
to where the walking path is, the rape trail is
my neighbors call it. Talk to my neighbors. Then she's like,
because there's posts there and there's a creek. She's like, oh,

(01:12:33):
guess we have to get back over here, and she
kept going and then I looked and I realized her
Uber rating was a three point two, which you don't
use Uber. That's crazy. That's three five, not a five,
which you might eat at a restaurant. That's a three
point two if you get in an uber and it's

(01:12:54):
and it's under a four point like I'm a four
point nine to five. And I only know this because
I couldn't figure out why it dropped because I haven't
I hadn't taken an Uber in a while. But whatever,
But if you get in there and the driver's three
point two, they're probably gonna murder you. Like I'm assuming
that's what you have to do, because people just put
five for no reason. Oh I didn't get murdered. Five

(01:13:16):
didn't get murdered five. She had a three point two.
I hope to God this woman isn't out there doing it.
And yes, for those of you asking, I did say
something to Uber. She was She's dangerous. She absolutely because
she and it's not that she's probably a dangerous driver
if she's focused on it. She can't use technology in
that at the same time, and she was one of

(01:13:39):
only two Uber drivers I've ever reported the other one
and I'm not making this up. It sounds like And
when I told my friends, they didn't believe me either,
and the person at Uber they didn't believe the submission
I had met so much I got a phone call
from Uber. This dude picks me up. He's a younger guy,
He's in a car, and he had clearly just gotten

(01:13:59):
into some sort of uh, some sort of squabble with uh.
I don't know. It sounds like an x that he
was still and he wanted to tell me about it.
And then you started talking about how you ever get
that feeling where you just want to murder a woman?
And I'm like, I don't think he means figuratively, and
he went on. He's just like, yeah, you know, this

(01:14:22):
is I understand why guys just you know, they snap
and they do this stuff. And I'm and I'm sitting
in the back of this car. I'm like, get me out.
I'm glad I'm not a woman one get me out
of this psychopass car. So yeah, so her and that dude,
but yeah, driverless cars, no, thank you, not gonna happen.

(01:14:42):
And it is it is, It is comical to watch
them all traffic jam themselves in a parking lot at
the same time. But I feel bad for anyone who's
got to look well, that's why you don't live in
downtown San Francisco. So there you go, all right, we will.
We retweeted that. Look at that. I just did a
whole whole opener on. Then, yeah, there's some crazy folks.
But to be fair, you know, if you talk to

(01:15:03):
you know, you talk to uber lyft drivers that you
know are not and most of them are fine. Uh,
and you get one of them if you're on a
longer ride, tell you about some crazy stuff. And I
feel bad for those dudes. There's a reason there's a
vomit fee. There's a reason there's shenanigans that are afoot.
There's a there's a guy who does a YouTube channel
that drives uber and the stuff he posts it's clearly

(01:15:25):
not staged. The amount of people that try to like
cancel rides or or punched Uber drides, it's there's a
reason they have cameras. But occasionally it's the drivers man
and uh mass murderer and a woman who drives on sidewalk.
God help me if you get either of those people,
although he doesn't drive for them anymore. They actually ended

(01:15:45):
up sending me an email back saying that they had
they had multiple complaints and he was out of the system.
And I'm like, so he threatened to kill women multiple times?
I just I didn't respond. But how many times do
you have to fantasize about murdering women that and tell people,
tell strangers about it before they kick you off the platform?
And I don't know the answer to that. So you're

(01:16:06):
a driver listening to my voice right now, you know,
maybe don't do that? All right? Eight eighteen Cacoday Radio program.
We get some audio we gotta get to not as
much as we normally do. What did Boston Paul? Did
you give her five stars? I did not? How about
right in a party bus is different? Okay? An uber

(01:16:27):
home from the bar one of these way most home
from the bar is not the bachelor party party bus.
That's different. We had we had a party group at
a party bus down in Myrtle one time. That driver
knew what was up and it wasn't It wasn't you know,
Sodom and gomorre in there. But everyone's acting like a
bunch of drunk fools and they're doing stuff you clearly shouldn't.

(01:16:47):
But that's what they signed up for. This is not
I did not sign up to drive on the sidewalk
on Atlantic. All right, eight nineteen, hang on, we'll be back.
Do you follow the Murdau that South Carolina murdaw trial
that was you know this lawyer accused of.

Speaker 3 (01:17:02):
So the funny thing about that is I followed it
via my viewers on Twitch. Everything about it I know
from my chat on Twitch. It's about it.

Speaker 1 (01:17:09):
I know nothing I got. I mean, I know the
basics of the story, and people were enraptured by this
story mark kind of the court TV thing of the moment.
I never got into it.

Speaker 3 (01:17:17):
Yeah, Markey was into it kind of sort of too,
and she's I've heard some stuff through her.

Speaker 1 (01:17:22):
So it looks like it looks like they may have
to do this all over again. So I knew that
the the county clerk, Rebecca Hill, there were accusations that
she jury tampered and by the way, this is how
they accused her of jury tampering. Now she's she's not
prosecutor making a closing argument. She is the court clerk.

(01:17:46):
She is accused of telling jurors not to be fooled,
that it's an emotional put on with his testimony and
all that, and he can't do that, can't do that.
But the question became did it sway jurors, And initially
they decided that it didn't. Also, this woman published a book,
you know, because the trial was there, and she decides
she was going to cash in on it. And then

(01:18:07):
they went through the book and figured out she plagiarized
a bunch of it, so she resigned in disgrace. Then
they thought then they wanted to charge with jury tampering. Well,
now it looks like the South Carolina Supreme Court maybe
signing on to this argument with the with the idea
that here we go, the South Carolina Supreme Court will

(01:18:31):
now hear arguments for against a new murder trial. So
they've decided to elevate this based on that. And that's
actually kind of a big deal in South Carolina because
they the Supreme Court works. They got slightly different down there,
but you know, it's pretty it's a good indicator if
you're a defendant's lawyer at the Supreme Court's willing to
take this up after three courts have already said no,

(01:18:53):
but three local courts that could be interesting. But yeah,
so this publicity seeking that's specifically what they call her
court clerk may have made them do this all over again.
But I guess if you're really into the trial, there
you go. What was the craziest thing you heard about this?
Do you remember? Because again I don't know very much

(01:19:13):
about it. I remember the whole thing was weird. But
I guess maybe we'll get a do over. Simone Biles right,
the gymnast her birth mother, and I didn't I didn't
really know the story. I knew she was raised by
her grandparents. I didn't know the story just from an article,
the articles that I've read. So apparently her and her

(01:19:33):
sister there with mom. Mom's a big fan of partying,
and obviously it appears she was dealing with drug and
alcohol addiction, and so she's like one day, like, we're
going to visit your grandparents. And then took the little
girls to Texas. They lived in Ohio, took them to Texas.
Said she was, I don't know, going to the going
to the corner store for milk, and then just almost

(01:19:56):
out of there, man just gone. And that was how
it was for years and years. The grandparents raised Simon.
Obviously they helped her pursue her passion. She's got eleven
medals now and I think she's married to the Safety
for the Bears. So it's really funny watching those two
stand next to each other, and you know, she's living

(01:20:17):
her best life whatever. Well, right, is all this is
going on? I see these news outlets that are doing
interviews with the mom because mom is like, ah, I'm
so sorry, Hey, let's let's have a relationship. And I
don't know, like things are complicated, especially when you're dealing
with addiction. But you just abandoned your kids and abandon

(01:20:38):
your family too, Like her parents didn't know where she went.
She's just out of there. She's just partying and all that,
and now you want to get back with your daughter. Yeah,
And we've seen some instances like this, the famous people
who were adopted. Yeah, you've seen it.

Speaker 3 (01:20:50):
It's like Joe Dirt, oh right, and then he struck
the big time and suddenly his parents wanted his attention.
They wanted to come back and do his life, and
they were.

Speaker 1 (01:20:59):
Just everything is Joe actually this in this in this
one instance, yeah, in this one instance, yes, I guess
it is kind of like Joe.

Speaker 3 (01:21:06):
Dirt because and he was like, oh my god, it's
my family, and then he realized the real family it
was with him in the entire time. He didn't need
them because they were trash.

Speaker 1 (01:21:16):
Tied it up with a bow, which is why they
made a second one, right, I never saw that one.
I don't know. Well, why would they make a second
one if they had it? So? For the message? I
guess would be money. Oh wait, why do you think
Mom's reaching out to Simona? My guess would be money.
Oh okay, I I don't know. And that's why Joe
Dirt is the top three movie. It's not for you, Yes,

(01:21:40):
it is for you. Yes, Godfather three, Godfather one, and
then Joe Dirt. You said, right, why you have Godfather threes?
Number one? I will never know. Did we decide whether
you like number two or number one?

Speaker 4 (01:21:52):
More?

Speaker 3 (01:21:52):
I I know most people I think like Godfather two more.
I like Godfather one. I just like the wedding site
because without godfeather when you'd have no Godfather too.

Speaker 1 (01:22:03):
Well, but that's I don't know. So I like Godfather too.
It's a great it's a great movie. Yeah, But I
mean I don't know the original. Yeah, Marlon Brando, I
used to like I used to like number two more
and and I think even though I've decided, I just
can't let it because there's too many good movies. I
think the neuros put me off so much. Yeah, where

(01:22:25):
I'm just like, screw this guy. Although actually I did
see something where I kind of all right, well hold on,
let me flip over to this. Do I put this? Oh?
I emailed it to myself and then I didn't know
but it because I'm dumb, all right, is this story
I was gonna get to you yesterday. Yeah, here we go.
So remember I talked about how creepy AI could start

(01:22:47):
making everything with you know, if you get families quote
looking for money who happen to own publishing rights still
for their dead famous singer relatives or actor relatives, Like
how creepy could it get? How fast? And so? But
you can't go in with the really big stuff right away,
right You can't go in and be like, hey, who's

(01:23:09):
the porn actress, who's the very famous one? Who? Well
pick one, I think several pick one. You can't go
back to start making adult films with her again. Although
that would be your profession. Still, that's just foo, right,
or even maybe having actors act in roles that they
knowingly wouldn't have taken in real life. Or singers, right,

(01:23:34):
what was the one where they had what was it
eldest singing some modern song? It was a really creepy AI.
That being said, where it does make sense and there
is now apparently this is a CNBC article Hollywood icons
of the past take new star turn celebrity estates cashing
in on AI voice cloning deals. So this is the

(01:23:56):
this is the rage in Hollywood. There are several companies
and I'll explain the tech to you in a moment.
There are several companies that are going out and trying
to get exclusive licensing for the voice of all sorts
of famous people. In fact, in the article they talk
about let's see here, Bert Reynolds, Lawrence Olivier, Judy Garland,

(01:24:24):
all sorts of them, and even some live actors. They're
approaching them too. And the way it works is this,
and this is how the voice thing works for now.
So you know how you get books on tape? You
guys like books on tape. I'll listen to them and
I'm on a plane, and I try to around the

(01:24:44):
house sometimes, Like I listened to Wise Guy, which is
the book The Goodfellas is basically okay on tape all
but but I also listen. I have to listen to
one where Henry Hill is doing the narration and his
wife who actually do do the narration for part of
it when it's in first person in the book on tape.

(01:25:05):
But I'm not really into it, but some people are
really into it. So what if just like you can
select the voice of your AI assistant, like you can
make Siri have be a man, and you can make
Siri from anywhere. My Siri is Irish. She's an Irish lass.
I don't know why. I think I changed them when
I first got the phone. I never changed it back.
It doesn't matter because I barely use it. Oh wait,

(01:25:26):
hold on, now she thinks I want to talk to her.
Go away, go pick potatoes. I can make that joke anyway.
So you instead of having to get the book or
buy the audio version of Wise Guys, the one where
you have, you know, the actual dude and his wife
narrating part of it, because there's another one where it's not.

(01:25:48):
You can pick any book and they only need a
thirty minutes of voice of most people to be able
to put an almost perfect voice assistant or in this case,
voice reader together. So these these tech companies, and some
of them Google Play, Apple Books, some of the big ones,

(01:26:12):
where there's also some smaller ones, are rushing to get
all these big names signed up. So if you wanted
to have a famous person read you, if you wanted
to read, if you want to have a book read
to you by Bobcat Goldwick, you could, which I think
is the way to go. If I'm not wrong, right,

(01:26:34):
Can you imagine I'm gonna do Warren Peace, but I'm
gonna have Bobcat read it to me. That'd be amazing.
Now here's the only reason I'm excited for this. I
can't wait until I have the option to get Rosie
O'Donnell and de Niro's download and have them read the
Art of the Deal to me. I don't know why

(01:26:56):
that would make me so happy, but I think that'd
be hilarious. Can you imagine DeNiro, well, in this case,
dead de Niro, his greedy family has basically sold his
voice for extra money, and now he's got to read
Trump's book to you. Rosie O'Donnell. Oh yeah, Debra Messy
and in rest these moonbats. Mark Ruffalo probably have to

(01:27:17):
wait a little on him, but you know, Hollywood sometimes
they offer him up early, so that'd be great, although
they say that already, there's lots of unlicensed versions of
this as people are able to, you know, really grab
on to the power of AI that's out there and
use it to go ahead and do a variety of things.

(01:27:37):
Do you remember how bad the Joe Rogan things sounded
just a few years ago with the hockey and the
Monkeys we played. I mean it didn't sound awful, yeah,
but the cadence was off, like you could tell it
was generated. Some of the stuff that's generated now they're
the emotional inflection is getting so good, and I don't know,
maybe that's because I'm in the in the world of audio,

(01:27:59):
but the Rogan immediately, I'm like, there's a lot that's
wrong with this. Some of it's really good. But now
if you just need thirty minutes of somebody, feasibly you
could find thirty minutes of audio of most people because
of a lot of people post videos online. People post
videos online or you have access to their video, so

(01:28:21):
pheasibly you could easily make you could make it out
a ross reader. That's it. Ross, there's your next billion
dollar IDEA ross reader. Yeah, and you just people just
plug it in and then whatever book or anything you
put in there, it's all read in your voice. So
I'm thinking you could do Art of War, you'd try

(01:28:42):
to limit it, or anarchist cookbook, you know, make it
real edgy. But ah, so for that, that's when I'll
re embrace the hero, when I can use his now
deceased voice to read Trump stuff to me, or maybe
just read Trump tweets. A jerk, I know whatever, a
forty four raced agic. He's not a jerk unless he

(01:29:05):
gives you a bad forecast and it ruins your beat, right,
any something now?

Speaker 4 (01:29:08):
Yeah, you know yeah, not today, No, not today, maybe
later down the road, probably toward the weekend, later, just
in time. Right, if we see some of the swells
from what will be Hurricane or Nesto try to come
toward the east coast, they probably will, just a question
of you know, how big and how much impact will

(01:29:29):
they have, But just keep an eye out that the
flags are flying out of the beach. Is certainly going
to want to pay attention to that. Other than that,
we're a pretty good shape for the rest of the week.
Beautiful morning, seeing a few clouds, Still got a few
areas of fog, but that's going away. May Papa shower,
thundershower this afternoon, nothing widespread. Temperatures will stay comfortable in
the little mid eighties, in the sixties again tonight and
again to the west and in the mountains there could

(01:29:51):
be some fifties Thursday, Friday sunning mid to maybe upper eighties.
A little more humidity at cac for the weekend, maybe
some afternoon showers thundershowers, but for the middle of August,
really not a bad forecast. We'll let you think the
heats behind us. You know, I don't think you knows
behind us.

Speaker 1 (01:30:09):
But it's gonna screw us one more time.

Speaker 4 (01:30:10):
Yeah, September, like we'll get past Labor Day one of
these September mid ninety degree stretches.

Speaker 1 (01:30:17):
But right now, next never tell you about the time
I went winter camping to Minnesota but didn't mean to.

Speaker 4 (01:30:25):
How does that happen?

Speaker 1 (01:30:26):
It was end of September, and uh, you know the
state fairs in September there, so I mean, it gets
really hot Minnesota gets hot and and so we're getting
towards the end of September and I'm like, let's do
one more trip to the boundary waters. And so me
and three buddies we went out there, had our tents
and our boats because got a portage boats. It's a
whole thing. And all of a sudden we got the

(01:30:48):
most snow in a single day in October. I have
video of this because the guys that are with or
one of them was the TV guys. So you're shooting
a bunch of year olds. We're just camping in it. Man,
just can't just do what we can likely we brought
some quest did you know it'd be cooler? We didn't
know it was going to be that cool, so right,

(01:31:09):
but yeah, we're at the temperature changes anywhere. So thank you, sir,
appreciate it. Okay, there you go, raced agic. Oh man,
do I have a twist on? Oh? Is this a
twist on the whole? Men competing in women's athletics? Wait
for it, it's next.

Speaker 6 (01:31:23):
Good morning, Casey. A couple of big stories this morning.
Economists were on the money with their forecasts on the
Consumer Price Index, the headline and Core CPI both rose
two tenths percent last month. One potential fly in the
ointment the Federal Reserve may be troubled by a bigger
than expected increase in shelter costs. Stock market futures just

(01:31:44):
a little bit higher as we get ready for the
midweek session. S and P futures or up six, the
Nasdaq futures are up twenty six, and the Dow futures.

Speaker 1 (01:31:52):
Or up five.

Speaker 6 (01:31:53):
The other big story this morning is Mars agreeing to
buy kelen Nova, and what is one of the biggest
deals so far this year. Mars is paying eighty three
dollars and fifty cents a share nearly thirty six billion
dollars in all for Kelenova, which makes Pringles, chips, I
go waffles and pop tarts and other products. Kelenova has
been doing better than some other packaged food maker since

(01:32:14):
being spot off by Kellogg last year, and this acquisition
is helping Mars diversify its portfolio, which is currently chocolate heavy.
A Google was showing off its new smartphones, watches, and
earbuds at what it called a hardware event yesterday. At
the same time, the Justice Department was considering its next
move against Google now that a court rule that the

(01:32:35):
company monopolized the Internet's search market. Sources say one option
on the table is an effort to force a breakup
of Google. A lot of new car buyers stretching their budgets.
Now Edmunds has average monthly payments hit a record seven
hundred and forty dollars in the second quarter. Nearly eighteen
percent new car loans come with monthly payments of more
than one thousand dollars. FED data show there has been

(01:32:58):
an increase in auto loan delinquencies. In Casey, A lot
of today's music stars going retro. They're releasing their albums
on cassette. A lot of teenagers and twenty somethings bought
the tapes, but they needed help from the baby boomers
to play them. Wall Street Journal says gen zers are
using their parents' old boom boxes or Sony Walkman players

(01:33:18):
bought on eBay.

Speaker 1 (01:33:20):
Casey, I yeah, I hate this. I I like it.
For the artists, I'm glad they're making money. But no, no, jeez,
all right, all right, thank you sir, that's old. Appreciate it,
all right, have a good day. Yeah. I don't want
I don't want my music delivery system. You know what

(01:33:40):
I mean, tapes I had with DJ's talking up the
ramp when I was a kid. ROJ. You ever do
that record off the radio? Make you stuff a little
mixtape off of it? Super weird? Shut up, No, I
was super weird. I would record the DJ. That's actually
probably true. It is true. I'm not lying.

Speaker 3 (01:33:58):
I mean that's what I wanted to do. I wanted
to the DJ, and I was like so fascinated to me,
it was like an art form. It was like, I
need to record that guy. That guy's cool.

Speaker 1 (01:34:04):
I would record when Casey Kasem's Top forty because we
didn't get a lot because we only had two country stations,
but the Sheridan station did play Casey's Top forty on
on the weekend for some reason. On a non Top
forty station whatever, I would record that whole damn thing. Man,
Oh those were the days. I still remember my first
cassette tape. Do you remember the first cassette tape you

(01:34:26):
ever owned? I sure do. Yeah? What was it? Top
Gun soundtrack? Nice Huey Lewis in the news, Yes for me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
all right. Anyway, Hey, you know when you start to
normalize stuff, so's you gotta start branching out and find
a new twist and turns all right, Well, apparently just
the simple act of men competing in women's athletic events

(01:34:49):
that's too vanilla for some people. You ready for this
headline and you're gonna have a lot of questions. A
blind runner who won eleven national titles is a man
and will compete as a woman in the upcoming Para Olympics. Okay,
before we get to any of the trans stuff, and
I mean this not out of disrespect. There. Every picture

(01:35:12):
on the article is this individual running on a track
which has lanes? How do you do that? That's blind?
That's amazing. That is amazing to be like, how do
you do that if you're blind and legally blind? Keep
in mind you would have to be legally blind. I
know some people you say blind, they're not totally blind

(01:35:33):
but still making out track lines. But this individual wins
in the men's Like.

Speaker 3 (01:35:39):
I said, this is just out of curiosity. There's no
joke here, like would there because now this is this
is amazing. Is there some sort of like brail or
something on the track like you can like feel like
how would you know that you're I don't know. I
would write if it was me, like we're gonna blindfold
your runner on the track. I'd be out in traffic
and no time would be getting run over by cars.

Speaker 1 (01:35:58):
Ripross yes, yes, yes, yes
