Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Ross puts something else on for about five okay,
running get it during the break? Never mind, why do
I do that in the morning, I'm just wandering around
having Ross explain Pole stuff to me. No, you know what,
I'm thinking about that too. There's so yesterday they aired
the Trump rally on CNN, and if you remember, we've

(00:20):
talked about this here on the show. Had we went
to this big, long stretch where CNN would there'd be
a Trump rally and then like Jim Acosta would be
standing there and they'd be like duh. And then about
forty five seconds in, Trump would say something they disagree
with and be like, well, we can't air this propaganda,
and then they dip out of that thing. And one

(00:40):
of the things that people found a little weird was
that the Butler Pa Trump Rally, they were airing that
thing in its entirety. Well obviously they didn't air in
its entirety because it didn't finish, and so, like you know,
whenever you see that change, everyone is so paranoid, and

(01:01):
maybe rightfully so in some instances where you're just like,
what's up with that? Why why do you just why
did you why did this happen to be the Trump
rally you didn't cut out of because you know, they
didn't shoot him forty five seconds into that thing. He'd
been going for a little while. So I noticed yesterday

(01:21):
CNN was there in Trump's Ashville rally because all the
because I saw the people on not because I watched it,
but because uh oh, I did dip in after I
was reading this. You had the moonbats on Twitter that
were beside themselves for the end, kind advertising all the
rest of it. It was a really strange day. And

(01:42):
then Ross and I were talking about poles, because that's
what you do at six, you know, six o'clock in
the morning to get the juices flowing. But you're right, Ross,
now that I think about it, this happened in twenty twenty,
and basically it's it's like pole release delay, And I
don't unders, what do you think the motive is for
them slow rolling pole releases, especially ones that show Harris

(02:06):
up and ungodly some you think you'd want to get
that out there right away.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
I think I know the reason for it, because we
went like two weeks without them releasing poles. But recently,
like when you see the polls that came out yesterday,
these poles that are favorable to Harris and swing states
and national polls like by these crazy margins. You realize
that the polls they released yesterday were like two weeks old.

(02:30):
A lot of these poles were like over two weeks old. Yeah,
And the reason for that is they waited to release
them because at the same time these these polls released
that were favorable to Harris that were two weeks old,
they released the Fox News poll came out, there was
a ge pole that came out. There was a bunch
of them that came out yesterday that showed Trump up
nationally bound balance by one or two. So they're waiting

(02:52):
on these, right, and then they drop them to average
out the rear clear Politics average, so it gives Kamala
makes it look like she has the lead nationally when
they've been holding Those are old polls, you.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Know, crazy.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Then you look at them, you actually go into them
and you look at the poles and see how they're balanced. Right,
the ones where Trump is up plus one or whatever,
they're basic normal leans that you would traditionally see. But
the ones where Harris is crazy up. You have some
polls yesterday I saw it was Den plus ten ten.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
These are in swing stage.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, people Den plus twenty three. I saw one that
was DEM a lean of Den plus thirty?

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Is that in Washington, DC?

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Get this? But now I'm not sure. Not only that,
but so you have this poll where it's where it's
DEM lean plus thirty and Harris is still only leading
by two points. That is catastrophic. But they do it
to average for the.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Average, like the average you know what, that's a you
know what that And honestly, that might be the least
scummy thing that political campaigns do, you know what I mean.
They're just they're just you know, they're kind of working
the numbers there, and you know, normally that would be
outrageous even a decade ago, you'd be like, well obviously,
but people don't care. People want to hear what that

(04:11):
final number is. So once they've accomplished what you're talking
about by averaging it out, they go, you know, you're
allowed to keep that momentum going.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
But the whole thing is fake. She's fake. Her policies
are ridiculous, and it's more of this astroturfing to create
an illusion that she has this momentum or like you know,
there's this big following behind her. That's what it is.
It's more propaganda for her campaign to make it look like, hey, look,
everybody's behind her. This is the thing that's happening. They
did it with Obama in eight but this is like

(04:41):
in overdrive. I've never seen the media covering for a
candidate like this before, and it's because typically with the candidate,
if Biden was a candidate, they would have years of
propaganda behind it. They have a lot of work to
do in a short amount of time. So they are
just blatantly obvious with their propaganda.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Now, well, don't forget about sexy Daddy, about the coach. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. They're calling him sexy Daddy on the women.
It's it's turned into this porn thing, which is funny
because the the impetus for that was this tweet, which
was a fake tweet of somebody going, you know, being

(05:18):
with jd Vance would be like, uh, you know, your
first time and you're crying when you're done, and and
uh uh sexy Daddy up in the North, he'd make
your tour toes curl like. It was just some of
the creepiest stuff, but it was fake it was somebody
it was. I think it was the Jarvis dude who
did it. And and then all of a sudden, you

(05:40):
see these young women who were like, yes, sexy daddy,
sexy Daddy to the north, and I just about threw
up in my mouth scrolling through that. Go ahead and
search it if you want to not eat breakfast though.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Talking about fake he wasn't even a coach. He was
the assistant coach and was fired after his first year.
For the day he pretended to be deaf.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, well, you can't coach if you're deaf, can't hear
the whistle.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
They're acting like he's Luther from from coach, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Man, everybody you know Minnesota State went to Minnesota State University,
which is not a thing, although there is a Minnesota
State man Cato, but that's a different thing. Yeah. No,
And Luther was an idiot. Hayden Fox was the man.
He thinks he's telling people he's Hayden Fox, not Luther.

(06:28):
Luther was Barney Fife.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Man, I don't even think he's Luther. He's the other
one with Dobber. Oh yeah, God bless him. You know,
he's the voice of Patrick on SpongeBob.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
What a career that dude have, Like, can you play
a big towering idiot on Coach? Okay, that's done? Can
you play a big towering idiot on Oh? Stephen King's
the stand right, And it's just he definitely got type cast.
But he probably made bank. I have to think he
played Lenny at one point, so good for him. You know,

(07:01):
the thing he missed out on was Loell in wings.
He probably could have done that pretty well. So yeah, anyway,
and and and then like they have to pretend too
that they're doing they're doing some sort of work. Speaking
of Jim Acosta, here's Jim Acosta talking to one of
Kamala's spokespeople yesterday. And I'll let you know what the

(07:24):
new thing is because I saw Jim McFall McPhail. I
call him the former ambassador to Russia and just just
one of these these swamp creatures, and he was popping
the new narrative, which I'll explain to you here in
a moment on on Kamala doing pressers. But here's her
spokesman talking to Jim Acosta yesterday.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Would it kill you guys to have a press conference?
Why isn't she had a press conference.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Oh and by the way, for those people under there
who are clearly not fans of CNN, going, well, you know,
at least he's doing the right thing. Just divorce yourself
of the idea that Jim Acosta is doing this for
the reasons that you want her up there, and yours
may be selfish, but ultimately they are the right reasons.

(08:12):
Meaning we need to hear what this woman has to say,
and it has to be in an environment where it's
you know, it's a conversation and there's questions being asked
and not pre prepared stuff that she can practice in
a hotel room, right So, and because you think it
will be her undoing if you're against her, that's it's
still the same thing. Jim Acosta is doing this for

(08:35):
two reasons. One because it's not a heavy enough push
to actually do anything and upset the Apple card. But
it makes him look like he's a journalist because these
cats egos are still bruised from being thrown under the
bus over the h You know, Joe Biden can't form sentences.

(09:00):
Thing right where it became so apparent that the people
surrounding Biden were happy to blame the media for it,
and that still cheeses a costa off. So it's ego.
So it's ego and kind of ego, but it's not
for the reasons like the American public should probably know
who they want to get into the And I'll tell
you about a conversation I had where I absolutely stumped somebody. Yes,

(09:23):
I was very proud of myself, but it wasn't hard.
But let's listen to the audio. Here we go.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Would it kill you, guys to have a press conference?
Why hasn't she had a press conference?

Speaker 4 (09:34):
Listen to the vice president government, don't laugh. Have been
busy criss crossing this country since the launch of this
campaign and adding a governor Walls to the ticket. You
saw the ways in which they went to across the
battleground states last week, generating rallies of one thousands, ten
thousand here, fifteen thousand there.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
But but Michael, you know, a campaign rally is not
a press Do you mind if I cut in? I mean,
you know, a campaign rally is not our press conference.
Why hasn't she had a press conference? She's the vice president,
she can handle the questions.

Speaker 5 (10:03):
Why not do it?

Speaker 4 (10:06):
We absolutely are going to do it. You hear her
take questions as she's out on the stump, and she's
as she said last week, we're going to be having
a sit down interview here before the end of the
month of what she is going to be focused on
and what this campaign is going to be focused on,
is communicating directly with the voters that are actually going
to decide the pathway to two hundred and seventy electoral votes.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
That's why she.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Commit to a press conference plus week treat this past week.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
That's why we're doing a bus tour in Pennsylvania as
we head into Chicago, and it's why we'll sit down
for an interview before the end of the month to
make sure that we can have a deep dot conversation
about the vision the Kamala Harris has for where she
wants to take this country in the contrast that we're
going to have with Donald Trump. We're gonna have plenty
of opportunities to do.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
That throughout the mic.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
The one interview by the end of the month, this
month and the rest of the campaign, don't I don't.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
Want to, you know, belabor this, but one interview before
the end of the month.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
I mean, that's that's not a lot.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
I mean, can you commit to a press conference before
the end of the month.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
We will commit to directly engage with the voters. They
are actually going to decide this election, and that is
going to be a complete with rallies, but sit down
interviews with press conferences, okay.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
And I by sit down interviews, I'm sure they mean
local you know, schmucks like me or they feel like
they can maybe control it, but not schmucks like me.
They're not going to go on a critical conversation. They're
gonna go on I don't know the I was gonna say,
they're going to go on that chick show or that
dude show on the public radio up in Chicago, but
probably not because he's fired. And then the Philadelphia Oh no,

(11:34):
she's fired too. But they're gonna find useful idiots like
that and they're laughing about it. And so here's the
conversation I got into yesterday. This is somebody who's blue,
no matter who. Okay, But but while they are mentally
impaired in my opinion, and I tell them that because
they're in their own little bubble, they would still have conversations.

(11:58):
And then when we're done, we cannot want to punch
each other in the face. But it's frustrating sometimes, so
I said Jimmy fitz Michael McPhail, the former Russian ambassador,
So this is what he tweets out yesterday. And then
it's funny because you know, these guys, I guess don't
realize you can go ahead and like search their other tweets.
The paramount objective for Kamala Harris to win the election.

(12:20):
If a press conference helps her win, she should do it.
If not, she shouldn't. She has no moral obligation to
talk to the press. Tone it down. And then I
saw that being echoed by a lot of people. So
I'm talking. I'm talking to who I'm talking to yesterday,
Oh excuse me, and they're already on this bandwagon because

(12:43):
I'm like, don't you think it's funny. She's not out
there and she's kind of doing the Biden strategy and
he's just like, yeah, yeah, But she doesn't have an
obligation to do it. She has a very short period
of time, so she has to spend most of her
time getting out and meeting the people. And I'm like, yeah,
but like, can't the people get to know her from
the without having to pack up and go to a rally,

(13:04):
by the way, can't people who are unable to do
that because they're busy or they don't have the financial
means even though most of them are free, still financial
cost if it's not near you. But if they don't
have that, but they have access to TV or the internet, like,
that's a great way. Well, you know, it's a weird timeline.

(13:25):
I'm like, yeah, but it's a weird timeline because the
party created then, so they should they be rewarded for that.
And I said, did you why do you hate Trump? Anyway,
he goes, you know, the guy comes out and he
says racist stuff, man, And I'm like, really, where did
he do that? Where? Where did he do Where did
he say racist stuff that made you hate? I didn't

(13:47):
even get into the tell me what he said is racist?
Where did he say racist stuff?

Speaker 5 (13:51):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (13:51):
When he went up the escalator, I'm like, do yead,
do you know what that was? Ross? Do you know
what that was? The escalator that day when he's with
the escalator.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
And he's talking about that, he was when he's talking
about criminals and murderers and people coming over record.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Well, what was the event where it happened.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Wasn't it his campaign announcement, like, hey, I'm going to
be running? Or was it too?

Speaker 1 (14:12):
Who was there at the camp the press? Oh it's weird, huh.
Some would say that's a press conference, right, I?

Speaker 2 (14:20):
Oh yes, it was? Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah yeah, or where he did the fake news and
then he insulted the black reporter from NPR in the
Yellow Room of the White House. Do you remember what
that event was? Remember what the what what they called
that event where all the the press were there at
another press conference? Was a press conference? Okay, so literally
everything this dude hated about Trump, Oh, and the the

(14:47):
fine people. Do you know what that event was? The
fine people event? Yeah? I got it as a press conference.
I was a press Yeah, I'm good at this game.
And so I did this all the third one. He's like, yeah,
but it's different, and I'm like, I said, what about
the Biden thing too? And because he kind of rolled
his eyes, and I said that there's the reason there's
a compacted timeline is because of you. It's because of you,

(15:09):
or you at least your party, man, And I said,
you know the Biden thing. Do you think that they
were absolutely why do you think that Why do you
think that that was because he wasn't doing press conferences
in a traditional manner. He might stand there and awkwardly
answer a question. He did yesterday. It didn't go well.

(15:30):
But so you think that that was being hidden from you.
You think you're in this position where you have to
scramble and you think you have it to figure it
out because of press conferences or a lack thereof. So
why on God's green earth, after you've been lied to
once and you think they're a good tool for extracting
information so that you can hate on a candidate, if

(15:52):
that's what you choose to do, why wouldn't you want
a press conference for the person that you're probably going
to go vot vote for and let run this country.
And the response was because she couldn't be any worse
than Trump. And then that was it, and we didn't
screaming each other or anything. But he knew he'd been

(16:14):
had and there's no logical reason. So right back to emotion.
We'll be back. Do you feel bad for me at
least completely?

Speaker 2 (16:22):
It's awful. It's like the worst possible news. I had
no idea.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, Minnesota, Viking's number ten overall pick, quarterback JJ McCarthy, Michigan.
He's out for the season. So Kirk Cousins, we sent
him to Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Send them, let them go now. So they sent Kirk
Cousins to Atlanta. But then they drafted a young quarterback,
star quarterback.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Whatever. Yeah, the guy sounds like the sports car.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Is there a possibility he could go back to Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
No, No, it's not gonna it's not gonna happen. Not
right now. We are so screwed. What do you think
of the twenty twenty five season? How are you feeling
about that?

Speaker 2 (17:11):
Sort of amazing things about the twenty twenty five season.
I'm looking forward to it.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
We drafted this dude, We drafted this dude knowing that
he had some stuff he'd probably have to get worked
out that were called fixed issues. And then basically what
happened is they let him play. He played okay in
the preseason against charge Chargers. Chargers, No he played Chargers
or Rams. It is my brain not working. Oh no,
the Raiders, I'm sorry, Raiders anyway, played against the Raiders.

(17:38):
He was like, he was like eleven for seventeen through
two touchdowns. He did throw a pick and it wasn't
a pretty one definite young quarterback stuff. But I'm like, okay,
I like this. I would have felt what much I
would have loved it if we had kept Kirk Cousins
and drafted him right, And then you have that mentorship

(17:58):
that has served the Packers really well, and so you've
seen your division opponent do it, and so you get
him in there and the problem is he had that
he was going to get a little fix it procedure
with a meniscus. Right, So we're talking, you know, joints
and you know stuff that I hear joints in the
ability to move joints is helpful in football ross. Have

(18:19):
you read that?

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Yeah, especially to be able to move him very quickly.
And then they got in there and like, oh, this
thing's all busted up. So now we have to do
fix it. And when you do that, you're not doing
anything for like a year. So we rolled the number
ten pick on a dude where we knew there might
be some miles or some some issues, like we bought

(18:44):
a new used car with factory factory recalls on it, yep.
And then it turned out to be worst case scenario.
So we don't have him. Do you know? Who are
our quarterback? Some of you listening will, especially if you're
a Panthers fan. Sam Darnold, I've heard good things have

(19:08):
you from his family?

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Maybe not, but I'm trying to stay positive for you.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
And then our backup is Nick Mullins. Nick Mullins, he's
not a rookie.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
You do have Justin Jefferson, So whoever it is, they
can just throw the ball up and he's out there
somewhere he'll help catch it.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Well, I you know, look, we have him. We got
Aaron Jones, Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison. Jordan Addison, who by
the way, has his own injury issues and Justin Jefferson
are great pair of receivers. Our tight end is good Hawkinson.
So you have these players, especially which with Hawkinson who
just got there, you know, a year ago, and then

(19:50):
with Addison, who was a rookie last year who was
much better than I thought he was going to be
and I was happy to be wrong. And you created
a situation where don't have a flipping quarterback, so it
doesn't matter what you spend on You're right. Justin Jefferson
will make some amazing catches, but you still have to
get him in his vicinity. And you know, the ability

(20:14):
to throw an uncatchable ball for anyone but your receiver
because your receiver has hops or whatever they say is
that's a skill man. It requires a skilled quarterback to
create a situation where a Justin Jefferson or a Stefan
Diggs or whoever can make that big catch. You know,

(20:34):
it always gets put on the receiver, but a lot
of times it's very intentional why they threw there. They
used to do this with Randy Moss all the time.
They would throw a ball that looks like you're misthrowing
the ball. Culpeper would throw a ball that looks like
you know, when they're in a they do this in
the end zone, you know, when they're in the end zone,
and then they just wing one over the head of everybody.

(20:56):
Culpeper would throw one of those, but he'd throw it
just a little lower and right over Randy Moss in
the corner of the end zone, and Randy Moss would
elevate his knees to the face mass of his opponents
and catch it and catch it. And you have to
remember this was, you know, before they changed the rule

(21:18):
on a receiver ending up out of bounds from assistance,
and and and so it took Culpeper to make that
good throw, and it took Randy Moss to make that
good catch. So pardon me if I'm not as positive.
And who knows, maybe Sam Darnold comes in. It's just like, hey,
I figured it all out, guys, and we still have

(21:42):
Jaron Hall, which that turned out to just be a
doomed experiment.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
He saw a sign during the Bills game this past
week in the crowd that was so perfect. Yeah, it's
just a dude holding a sign with some you know,
magic marker. He wrote on it that said just don't
get hurt.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Oh, and Hawkinson's hurt. By the way, I forgot to
mention that to our tight end, so just don't get hurt.
It was perfect, dude. We have such low expectations. And
this is, by the way, Vikings rookie quarterbacks cursed, man, cursed,
absolutely cursed. We took that dude from Louisville who ended
up playing Saints and everybody else Teddy Bridgewater and Teddy

(22:22):
Bridgewater Louisville looked amazing. In fact, I remember watching when
he that game where he destroyed, destroyed State and State
had a decent team, and I'm just like, this is
and I remember here's why I remember that. So me
and doctor Campbell, doctor Kevin Campbell for those of you
who know, we step him on the radio all the time.
So he got too big for us. Him and I

(22:43):
are literally on a golf vacation with some folks, but
him and I are in we're in this bar and
he's a huge State fan. And so we are in
a bar near Teeth of the Dog, which is this
big golf resort, and the Dominica is down in the
southern part of the Dominican It's a really hard golf place,
really beautiful though, a big, all inclusive place all that.

(23:06):
And so we go to like the beach bar there,
and we're like by the little casino thing they have,
and we're like hey. And so he spends fifteen minutes
convincing the staff there to figure out how to turn
this game on, and they get the game on, and
State is getting destroyed so bad by Louisville that people
and the Dominicans who know nothing about this game, right,

(23:27):
they're not really into it, as they had explained. They
they're laughing about they're off to the side kind of
chuckling about how bad Campbell's team is getting beat and
I've just like and he's He's just like, whatever, let's
go not do this. So but yeah, I'm like it was.
I don't want to be I don't want to be
the guy getting laughed at on a vacation the Dominican

(23:49):
Republic because the Minnesota Vikings can't throw a ball, which
I know is an extreme example, but I also don't
want to be that dude. And I feel like I'm
going to be that dude. So man should be an
amazing year.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
There's also a lot of drama on the Bill side,
though at a lot of Twitter drama, really a lot
of drama on the X machine.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Okay, it is like one of the players sleeping with
another player's wife is fighting with the coach.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
It has nothing to do with the playing the Bears
getting blown out because Josh Allen played half a quarter
and the Sega string defenses and had nothing to do
about the game. A big drama in in Bill's town
here is which zin flavor does Josh Allen prefer?

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Which one?

Speaker 2 (24:34):
I don't know. I saw it all over my timeline
I'm like, I'm not clicking that, I don't care. But
it's a big news though.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Play Jim's the little nicotine packets that are kind of
like the cocon against.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
It all, Like the young kids, Yeah, they're all into
the zen.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
Well that's because those kids can't handle my cocon again.
And it was a big deal, Like you've been seeing
this in the campaign. I saw some younger people posting
about this because apparently, uh Walls in Minnesota taxed it,
Like yes, you're sixty percent or something stupid. Yeah, well
he attacked. What he did is he essentially extended the
tobacco tax to it, because they have a substantial tobacco tax,

(25:09):
like any you know, any uh any state where they
need some money, and they're like, we'll just tax this
the thing, uh, the the people who can least afford it,
because we know what's best for them, because that's that's
what you're taxing, which is why it's so rich. When
they when people talk about having a flat tax, I'm like, no,
you can't do that to people who can't afford it. Yeah,

(25:29):
but you only believe that I'm preferred products. So I've
never tried this in I think or maybe I have.
Maybe I you know what I think I did. I
think I was his sheets in Hype, the one on
high Points south of the airport. There is your headed
south on the left side there, and I go in
there and there's literally a dude like one of the

(25:53):
reps from one of the tobacco companies, and they're handing
out free samples, and he noticed I bought a can
of Copenhagen and he's like, here, go ahead and try
this Chuli's gum. Right, So that's sorry, Just just remember
that seed. If you don't know the Cheuli's gum reference,
I feel bad for you. You should. You should search
it out thirty six or thirty seven times. So do that.

(26:14):
We'll be right back.

Speaker 6 (26:15):
Hang on.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Uh, let's see, that's all I can do. I could
just kind of call up fun memories that make me
forget about the fact that we are so frigging screwed
again and we did this to ourselves. But I'm not
gonna bore you the whole show with it, just most
of it. Wait, hold on. Normally I don't get into
this because it's just I'm not here to promote tobacco
on the show. But I like the occasional cigar, and

(26:39):
I like the occasional Copenhagen. What are you gonna do
about it? And now I got all you little skull wosses.
They're like, oh man, here's a Kodiak guy. You know what,
if you can't handle it, just say you can't handle it.
That's fine. We won't think anything less of I will,
but you know, probably the audience won't. If you need
to have things that are flavored like cherry and peach

(27:02):
and mint so that you could feel it more of
a man, that's fine. I'm not here to judge ross.
You don't even chew tobacco. But if you had one
that tasted like tobacco that a guy chewed, and and
work and manliness and a cowboy, you know, just like
the entire encompassment of the West and the settling of

(27:23):
the West and manifest destiny. If you had one that
was that flavor and you had another that was cherry,
which one would you think a man would?

Speaker 2 (27:33):
I'm choosing a tumbleweed, yes, ammunition and testosterone flavor.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yes, yes, not you know, a snow cone so or mint?

Speaker 5 (27:44):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Mince nice? Is it more nice than you know? A
thousand miles of cattle drive, flanked only by the brightest
stars you've ever seen in your life. Because there's no
light litter out then out in Lioming. You'll never see
you will never see the stars as bright as you

(28:05):
can see it atop a mountain in Wyoming. To college
is specifically Wyoming, especially the very part where nobody lives,
because there's no towns, there's nothing. It's just you and
the stars, and it's the brightest thing you've ever seen.
While you chew your tobacco. All right, hang on, we'll
be right back. Well, oh, I'm oh hello, did I

(28:26):
just screw something up? Oh? There we go? No, I'm sorry,
all right. I thought my little thing had clipped there,
all right, you hear me? Just fine there, So all
right Rawson, Oh okay, all right, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
So we're not going to break. We're holding on. I
thought literally my thing had clipped off because my next
gen just crashed again. So you know why, because the

(28:48):
next gen is not able to handle the Western United
States and of course the settling of the West, and
neither are some of our listeners. And I'm okay with that,
all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four you have literally every computer program and screen
just shut down on me, and I do not know why.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
See, I'm confused as to what you just said, because
I heard the stars shine bright, right, the stars at
night shine big and bright deep in the heart of Texas.
That's what I heard. Well in the documentary Pewe's Big Adventure. Well,
here's what I'll say. They're definitely part of Texas where
you're going to get it.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
But as anyone who's ever been in in the very humid, humid,
humid months of North Carolina summer and has driven literally
up the mountain, right, So you drive up the mountain
and you're able to look off you know, the Blue
Rich Parkway or you know past Elkin there or whatever,

(29:47):
and you look down. You do not you see, you're
having to look through the air. And so if there's
any disturbance in the air, such as humidity, you can
you can tell how many of you, and I'm sure
a lot of you have been elevated here in North
Carolina looked off off the slope down into the bottom
part and you could just see the humidity, and you

(30:07):
did that thing with your face that we all do,
and you're just like eugh, so glad I'm not down
in that, and I'm up here where it's fifteen degrees cooler.
So the more air you have to go through, the
less clear your picture's going to be. And so as
a result, when you get higher up than Texas can provide,

(30:31):
you're still going to have a better look at it,
plus a lot less humidity. So yes, Texas will get
you part of the way there, but you really need
a very low humidity and a very high elevation. All right, wait,
hold on, if you want to chew pumpkin spice chewing tobacco, sir,

(30:52):
you go right ahead, But I just I want you
to know where you're gonna end up on the thing
on the rankings that were doing here. All right, I'm
just sorry. I was waiting to get my literally my
next end booted back cup sor you play audio can
read email though, all right, dude, that's like what that's
twice this week or three? It made me log in

(31:12):
like five times the other day. You ross had to
beat his computer into submission, and now his phone's not working.
Are we having an EMP attack but they're just really
bad at it? Or is it because something's going on dude,
I don't know if it's with our network or what.
All right, you know what it does, and it throws
me off. I feel like Joe Biden wandering around at

(31:32):
the end of a prepared remarks event yesterday, when he
finally stops enough for a question. His staff looks horrified.
The question is asked, is asked, and Biden, well, it's
all about inflation. And here's Biden's response.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
Yes, yes, yes, I told him.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
He said, did we beat inflation? Did we beat in flake?
Cause remember he said they beat inflation? They beat what else?
Did he eat? Healthcare? You beat every beat everything?

Speaker 4 (32:06):
Yes, yes, yes, I told you're gonna have a soft landing.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
We're going to have a soft landing.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
My policies are work and start writing that way, okay?

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Is that right now? Way We're gonna have a soft landing.
That's what. No, you didn't. No, you didn't. And in fact,
when you went back to the Inflation Reduction Act, you
promised they've promised quick relief and then they promised much
more relief within six months. Because I can go back
and look at this stuff, promised it within six months.

(32:36):
None of that has none of that has happened. They
can put out all the fudge numbers they want all
right where they're including. Look at these price cuts at Walmart.
They have all these anywhere. There's a smiley face. Look,
prices are going down. Garbage that I see people posting
on social media some sort of like anecdotal thing because
you got two for one snuggies at Walmart? Did even

(32:59):
sell snuggies at Walmart? I don't know, they probably do.
The Vikings should should sign ray Gun for our new
quarterback because she has moves.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
You've seen the moves man the Pride of Australia, dude.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Really because I saw some I saw some was that
Sky News or whatever Australia. I saw some of the
the panels. I saw a little panel discussion, and you
would be shocked to learn that there are many within
the breakdancing community in Australia who do not feel that way.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Did you see the video of the person she lost
to for like the qualify to go to the Olympics,
the second place finisher.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Yeah, yeah, the younger pretty yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
The person spinning around their head and like looking like
they're a member of Mortal Kombat, just all over the Yeah,
it was amazing, Like.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
I was talking. That's what I was talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
because this line that we had that we had that
audio from the uh the head of the Australian Olympics.
You don't got to find it. I have it right
here of the Australian Olympics. Is like, we had no choice.
She is the best australiallion breakdancer woman that we have.

(34:05):
And I remember thinking, and we said it on the radio.
I'm like, there's no way that that is possible. There's zero,
there's zero chances that that is the best Australian breakdancer woman,
breakdancer that you have, that you have access to. Now,
Australia doesn't have a huge population. I want to say,
in fact, there's less people in Australia than there is

(34:25):
in California. I think it's like it's close though, it's
like twenty eight to thirty million to like thirty three
million or something. But I refuse to believe that this
is true.

Speaker 7 (34:37):
I love Rachel and I think that what has occurred
on social media with trolls and keyboard warriors and taking
those comments and giving them airtime has been really disappointing.
She is the best breakdancer female that we have for Australia.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
Except for the one that Ross just talked about. And
there's videos readily available of somebody doing what looks like
breakdancing moves. So you think that her skill set, rather
than break dancing, would be better channeled through leading an
NFL team on a drive downfield.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
I'm saying, take her out of green, put her in purple.
It's Farv all over again. Let's go.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
That's the other thing too. She the last time we
saw her, she's wearing Packers colors. So we'd have to
do the parade and fly. You know, I told you
that they intentionally flew Farv into the far airport, and
not because if they because they wanted the pageantry. That's
how I just do you understand how how in your

(35:34):
face that whole Brett Farvre move was. They flew him
into an executive airport in Saint Paul. Now I know
what you're saying. You're like, well, yeah, he was flying
private jet. You're absolutely correct, and he could have landed
at Minneapolis Saint Paul. But Minneapolis Saint Paul Airport is
basically across the street from the Viking's headquarters. So and

(35:56):
and they could have flown him into an airport called
Flying Cloud, which is the other executive airport, which is
like five minutes, but they didn't. They flew them into
the one on the other side of Saint Paul and
it turned into the white Bronco thing. So it was
because it takes like forty five minutes to gift from
the Saint Paul Executive Airport to that time of day

(36:18):
where they were, so they had Brett Farres coming in,
they had camera crews waiting for the plane. They had
camera crews literally posted along the way, people in their
cars because we were wall to wall live radio at
that time, and people in their cars would pull over
on the side of the highway to stand out, honk

(36:40):
and wave, and it was just the squad of vehicles
making their way over to what's called Winter Park, which
is what the Vikings headquarters it is called. And it
was so in your face, screw you. I don't want
to have to do all that again with this idiot.
But if you think that on a goal line, sneak
her doing the kangaroo, we'll get us six, then I
don't know, convince me. Probably would tear herminiscus though, So

(37:05):
what are you gonna do. All right, let's get to
let's get to some not personal stuff. By the way,
you some of you Kodak guys are just absolutely broken.
It's okay, okay. This is why I've never started this
fight on the air. Didn't want to do it. Speaking
of flights, all right, hold on, speaking of flights, what

(37:27):
a what a clickbaity headline? Here the last Airlines flight
makes sudden diversion after Pylot says he's not certified to land.
So I don't know if you know this. If you
want to land in Wyoming at Jackson, at the JA
Airport in Jackson, there is a set there is a
specific certification you have to have. Because my entire time

(37:48):
growing up on the news constantly was a jet went
off the end of the runway in Jackson. It is
you have very little air pressure up there. You have
a very short final as they say in aviation, but
basically your ability to make that final approach there is
very short, and the runway was short, and it's because

(38:10):
you're in the middle of the mountains. You're in the valley,
in the middle of the mountains, surrounded by mountains almost
on all sides. It's incredibly hard landing. So the stories
run around the Alaska Airlines had a whole plane full
of people, but the pilot literally didn't know how to
land there, And that's not true. It's not I saw this. Ever,

(38:31):
It's not true he was unable to land because some
idiot doing paperwork somewhere. The guy who's totally certified to
land has landed there a ton of times. Somebody screwed
some paperwork up, and I'm just this is more of
a thing with the airlines, like, I don't understand how

(38:52):
your systems continue to be this screwed up. Sorry, I
was just doing some airfare change on some bookings I
had and just so frustrating. Man. So they literally made
this plane of people fly all the way to Salt
Lake City just so they could and then quote changed

(39:12):
the crew out. Basically, somebody didn't enter this dude's certifications
which had previously been entered. I don't know how it
works behind the scenes, but they basically said, yeah, we
don't see your name on the list, you can't come
in the club. And he's like, you all know me,
you know me, and they're like, I'm sorry, rules or
rules that if I don't see it in whatever this
system or whatever this document is, you can't do it.

(39:33):
So they made him fly to made him fly to
Utah where he could land I guess, and swap out
the planes. And then everyone ran this whole article saying
that he wasn't qualified to land, and it makes the
pilot look like an idiot, like he knows where he's
flying and he knows whether he's allowed to land there. Well,
you disrespecting him because somebody in your busy, you know,

(39:55):
in your paper room, there is who handles behind the
scenes stuff, which is fine, and I'm you know, you
gotta be there. You're dealing with government stuff. You got
to deal with the FAA. I understand it. But just
that the amount of times that they just don't seem
to have their crap together. You see all the people
that were stuck in the Bahamas coming from Puerto Rico

(40:17):
the other day. Ross, would you go to Puerto Rico?
Puerto Rico?

Speaker 2 (40:25):
I would not.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (40:27):
I'm not leaving. It's but you're not leaving now flying
over to Oshane, I ain't leaving. I'm not leaving the
continental United States.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
Have you ever flown to Florida? I'm not leaving from
the way.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
You're not doing it, not going there, and that also
should not be a state.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
It's not a state.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
I know it shouldn't be, so you.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
Wouldn't, okay, are you just saying status quo there? You no,
I agree with you one thousand percent, but you know so.
But it's important to recognize this. You don't need a
passport to fly to Puerto Rico. It's the US territory
of protect I guess technically you can go there without,
just as Puerto Ricans come here to US, right, that's

(41:07):
the whole thing. So there are people who when they
go to the Bahamas because they don't have passport, or
when they want to go to the Caribbean because they
don't have a passport. You can go to the Virgin
Islands US Virgin Islands, or you can go to Puerto Rico.
And the Puerto Rico is generally going to be a
cheaper trip. And old Old San Juan is amazing. I
would highly recommend at some point you get there. I

(41:28):
had very very, very interesting, but once you get out
of there then it just gets weird. But Old San
Juan's great, and so these people, these folks fly down
there and I think they were out of Tampa, or Lando.
I can't remember where where they were flying back to.
And they they take off from the Bahamas and they

(41:50):
are there was some issue where they're just circling, circling, circling.
Now I understand that we've had some weather, but this
was kind of adjacent to it. It wasn't even that, and
so they can't land. They have some issues, so they
end up having to land in the Bahamas. They didn't
go back to Puerto Rico, which Puerto Rico and the
Bahamas are really close from an air travel standpoint. They

(42:10):
end up landing in the Bahamas. But because most of
them don't have passports, because they weren't technically leaving the US,
they locked them in a room there with no food,
no nobody, and we're just abandoned by the airline. And
it was American too, which is generally who I fly,
but it could have been any of them. It was
all pull this crap they like, well, they kept telling them,
we'll get you another plane. I saw these people that

(42:32):
were doing damn near firefest videos. Now, granted they weren't
getting chased by wild dogs outside of their hurricane shelter. Tents,
but with their mattresses the people had urinated on, because
that's a whole thing all on its own. But they
basically just locked them in there. Bahamas wouldn't do any
They wouldn't even get them food, and they couldn't leave

(42:53):
the terminal obviously because they didn't One they didn't have passports,
but two even the ones who did couldn't because they
didn't come in on a your proof flight plan. So
try to put it off on this pilot who obviously
didn't do a damn thing wrong. I don't know, just
irritated me seeing those headlines all right, coming up? You
guys like parades because uh, they like parades in Afghanistan,

(43:17):
and believe it or not, they're still holding Michael Brown protests.
I'm baffled by this, Like haven't so?

Speaker 2 (43:28):
Then you said the story in prep yesterday, let's see,
and I'm you know, I'm doing the doing the prep,
putting the packet together, and coming across the story, I'm like,
is this old? I'm checking the tables and I'm like
this maybe this is, like, you know, in relation to
some other story, but it has to be old, right.

Speaker 6 (43:42):
Nope.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
Yeah, a lot of times I'll put stories in that
are really old, but it's because it's a callback to
a news story and I want to have the access
in there or access to it, and so Ross has
to Ross has to be like the dude who's trying
to figure out the Rosetta stone, right, He's like, why
is this in here? But no, that's brand spanking new,
and uh it's it's not a good look. We'll get

(44:05):
to that coming up here on the CaCO Day radio program.
All right, So, uh so everyone was playing with the
groc yesterday and rendering picture? Did you render? Did you
post some photos? I can't remember.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
I tried to, and it was like, there's just epic
fails every single time.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
Okay, I saw one where somebody's like I reposted one
because I'm just I was getting creeped out by it.
And it was like, uh, give me a picture of
monkey pocks, which, by the way, here comes the monkey
pocks right right in time for the election. So weird,
so weird. So anyway, yeah, and that stuff was just creepy.

(44:42):
So what what's people? I saw the beef that people
had or people mostly who hate Twitter and are like,
oh you can you can make pictures like there was
a picture somebody made of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris
in a helicopter watching the twin towers burn and they're
both smiling. There's another one that I saw where they

(45:05):
recreated the Crucifixion of Christ, where it's Leonardo from Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles and Splinter is the Roman Soldier. So
you could get as blasphemous or crazy or just weird
as you wanted, and then it wouldn't watermark stuff because
as they want, they want everything that you would render watermarked,

(45:28):
which would be completely useless if you're using AI to
generate actual pictures for like projects and work stuff and
not just for fun. So screw you, Pound sand So
I saw that objection because they they didn't they couldn't
control it, and it was going to be used for
fake news, which by the way, the Hairs campaign using
fake news. I'll explain that to you. So it's it's

(45:51):
very very hypocritical. But now I'm hearing that it would
wouldn't render gay couples. Is that?

Speaker 2 (45:57):
Yeah? I saw they said the gym this morning, So
people were trying because he said it'll render anything, or
at least attempt to like there doesn't seem to be
any limits on it right as a post. Remember what
was it the Google AI where like whenever you tried
to it wouldn't produce any white people. Remember that, like
the Founding Fathers was that Google AI?

Speaker 1 (46:12):
Or what was that? Do you remember? That was chat
gpt okay and yeah, and that was the one where
they were rendering black Asian Nazi.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
Women right like they show me Nazis during World War
two and they were like there was no white people,
like they just didn't exist. It was super weird. But
the people were trying to test it and they were like,
show me a gay couple and it would just be
like an attractive man an attractive female. Or somebody was like, hey,
show me like Elton John with his with his husband,
and it produced, you know, a photo of Elton John

(46:41):
with his mother. And it wasn't it was purpose Some
people are saying it's purposely not doing that.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
I'm looking I'm on Twitter right now and I'm looking
at tons of pictures of rendered gay couples. No idea. Yeah,
here is show us a gay couple that's voting for Harris,
and show us a gay couple voting for Trump and
by the way the gay couple voting for Trump or
like fit dudes? Right, you know, you're right? And what

(47:08):
you know where this is going? Okay, so you haven't
seen it. What do you think the gay couple for
Harris looks like.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
A little bit overweight and maybe some colored hair.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
Well, obviously they're multicultural, right, yes, and they're they're much
older and much more hippie esque. Yes, yes, so they
went they went older. They actually went with a black
dude and a white dude, both with like big bushy
beards that look like they're about sixty.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
Where it's like two dudes dressed like cats.

Speaker 5 (47:36):
But the.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
Here, let me send you a picture of the Trump
couple or the picture hold on, let me just text
it to you.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
Actually, you know, I wouldn't be surprised if the stuff
I saw at the gymnast morning were just people on
the left, like manufacturing some sort of thing.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
It must be. I'm finding this stuff no problem people
of Cleary, and whether they did it in response to that,
So there's the I don't know why, why why why
don't you have your shirt on at the Trump rally?
They haven't had a Trump rally? Why don't you you
can have your shirt on, dude.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
The best part about a Trump rally, at least the
ones I've been to, is the break, the lifting brake
in the middle of the speech.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
Yeah yeah, and oil. You still get oiled, right, and
then you get oiled and you walk around. You've been
in some different ones a Michael Brown Ferguson story. What
are we doing? By the way, can you believe it's
been ten years? Think about that, It's been ten years

(48:33):
since they murdered Michael Brown when he had his hands up.
I saw it on CNN. I saw the CNN people
with hands up.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
Ross.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
Did you notice the CNN people They had their hands
up and none of them were murdered on set when
they were doing that stupid thing with their hands up,
none of them were murdered. So poor Michael Brown, obviously
with his hands up there, this was something totally different.
It's not okay now. Granted, investigations didn't yield that to

(49:03):
be true. And by the way, those investigations were not
just from the local department, the local county, and even
a state investigation in Missouri, but also the Justice Department
under Eric Holder under Barack Obama. They had I don't
even know how how many, how they had time for
all the autopsies that were done. Everything there showed that

(49:28):
this narrative was not that Michael Brown went in there.
Do you remember that that absolute lunatic who put out
the Stranger Fruit documentary where he just decided that he
put out a documentary using like the surveillance footage from
that convenience store as to show and it's completely false

(49:50):
to show that the people worked at the store were
doing a drug deal with Michael Brown, right, and and
he'd go on and people question about it. In his
his tactic was to scream at whoever was interviewing him.
And it didn't matter whether it was CNN or Fox News.
He would just start screaming at him like a lunatic,

(50:11):
like some Antifa idiot. But I digress. So we all
know what happened. I thought, even if you didn't want
to admit it, over ten years, you had to have
stumbled upon the truth. But that is not the case.
A Ferguson police officer is in serious condition after suffering

(50:33):
a substantial brain injury and is fighting for his life today.
After protests marking the tenth anniversary of Michael Brown's death
devolved into a violent riot because this is now obviously
this happened, but now we have the Wednesday report, so
that's what we're working off here, and this is going
This happened on Saturday, but we didn't know the totality

(50:56):
of what was going on. So this is from NBC
News affiliate k s d K on the early morning
of Saturday, August tenth, our beloved officer Travis Brother. This
is the family put a statement out. I'm just reading
it because it's the NBC News affiliate did it. On
the morning of Saturday, August tenth, our beloved officer Travis
Brown suffered a serious physical injury while performing his tour

(51:19):
of duty. He is currently in critical condition, surrounded by
his loved ones as he bravely fights for his life.
We're holding on to hope and trusting in the power
of faith to see him through. He's a devoted father.
He's more than a police officer. He's a devoted father, son, brother, uncle, godfather,
and friend, man of strong faith, an athlete and adventure

(51:41):
It's very sad. They absolutely brain this. He'll probably not
work as a police officer again, judging by just some
of the some of the stuff the Let's see a
protester identified as twenty eight year old Elijah Gant, who
would have been eighteen at the time. He's twenty eight now,

(52:04):
was literally stripped off the top of this officer when
he see Brown was unconscious at the scene. Travis Brown
the father the police officer, and Gant was on top
of him when other officers pulled him off and attempted
to aid the fallen officer. Which is an absolute animal. Man, Yep,

(52:27):
I'm saying that. Go ahead, call me racist. How do
you how do you have enough people in Ferguson that
still think this was a bad shoot to put together
a riot on par with the pictures that I saw.
That's terrifying. Listen, it's not. I mean, I know how,
but that's terrifying.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
You every think maybe if the police didn't exist, he
wouldn't have had a gun to steal.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
Or or an officer to damn near murder on Saturday?
Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 2 (52:56):
Would you ever think about me? Maybe if there wasn't
private property right, he'd have nothing to steal.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
That's a good point. Or you know what you do?
You get rid of the clerks in the at the
store trying to stop you with stuff. What are you doing?
Let them go in there and loot it, like your
downtown should look like that one of those nuke test
rains and the ranges in the middle of Nevada in
the fifties, right, or like any any movie where like

(53:20):
the Raptures already happened. Yeah, but if you do that,
then I don't get to watch the clerks beat them
with sticks.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
So those are the best clerks, by the way, beat
people attempting to rob their stories with giants.

Speaker 1 (53:37):
Stick again, attempting to rob their stories again. For those
of you know you've probably seen the video, you should
watch the whole video. A lot of people only saw
a little clip of this two clerks. They appear to
be Middle Eastern. I can't I can't really get a
fix on it, but it doesn't matter. They just had
enough of this crap. And this dude had rolled in
earlier in the day and robbed their store. Well he
came back, and he had the audacity the audacity to

(54:02):
come back. And I don't know if he sold it
from the store or he brought it. He had one
of those giant outdoor trash cans, the big hard gray
plastic ones with a bag you know what, it was
probably from around the pumps. That's probably where he got
it now that I think about it. And he's rolling
it through the store stealing stuff and these guys come
out and just start beating them with these sticks about

(54:24):
the legs and the butt and his belly and stuff,
and he's just screaming. Is deeply satisfying.

Speaker 2 (54:31):
I'm telling you. If that story had come out of
wake Forest, like it was a local if it was
a local store it.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
Was between your house and the station, bab, I would go.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
Out of my way to shop there just to support
the guys that beat the guy with the giant sticks,
the pain.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
Sticks and sticks. Yeah, that's good stuff. So going back
to this and Ferguson ten years, ten years and and
and it's and it just shows you how pervasive some
of this stuff can be when you the media, you
the activist. And I'm going to tie this back to
what's going on today in the election. The media is

(55:05):
so powerful here. The media is so powerful. Look at
what they're able to do with Harris. Now, whether you
believe the numbers are not, it's it's you know, it's
a lot of it's about how you feel and if
you feel good, it's about encouraging you that if you
feel good and you think others feel good, to make
sure that you vote so you're not sitting in the

(55:26):
doldrums like you were doing with Biden. That's why their
only goal is to control the narrative. And so you
do it so effectively that you take Kamala Harris, who
everyone thought they knew, and go no, no, no, and
you rip her mask off like a Scooby Doo villain,
and it's still it's the same person underneath, but you
tell everyone that it's different and you're able to get

(55:50):
away with that. That's what happened in Ferguson. You have
a community that obviously was dealing with a lot of issues,
socioeconomic issues. There were trust issues with in policing, you know,
and and by the way, some of the policing stuff
and some of the corruption that you saw within the policing,
it's it's good that some of that was uncovered. But

(56:11):
this was not it. This was not it. This was
an officer trying to do his job and clearly somebody's
reaching for his firearm, which happens a lot. I don't
understand why you think that's going to be a good thing.
Occasionally they're able to get the gun out, like they
got from that female officer not long ago. But yeah,
at that point they're going to go into murder you mode.

(56:32):
So it's that's what he's trying to do. And it's
still inexplicable why he did it. But you have convinced people.

Speaker 5 (56:39):
You have.

Speaker 1 (56:40):
You have given people the opportunity who didn't want to
admit the truth to go. We'll see. Ann believes me
and MSNBC believes me, so I must be right and
then to hold on to it for ten years and
show up to a giant of Justice for Michael Brown
event with violent protesters, Yeah, this would be like go
into a Justice for Juicy Smole event. And there's probably

(57:05):
people including Kamala Harris, who was one of the highest
profile people who sent a tweet out on behalf of
that without having the facts.

Speaker 2 (57:13):
It's not even just the media though. I think even
going back just a few years, that could have been
this past year. Yeah, I think you had Corey Bush
up there that was like, you know, in the chamber saying,
you know, hands up, don't shoot. There's still there's still politicians.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
That are oh when I say the media, When I
say the media, no, you're right. It's it's that it's
activists within the community, right, because if you're an activist
who makes your bones over race relations, there's always going
to be race relations. We've said it before, right, The
last thing, the last thing you could ever admit is that,
all right, we're good, and now you're out of a job.

(57:44):
And then you started having to pivot to other stuff.
It's like, I know that people get mad at me
when I when I bring them up as an example.
It's like mothers against drunk driving. I use it as
an example because they had a very clear thing they
wanted to do, and then all of a sudden, when
they got a standard guy's blood alcohol content that was
lowered to point oh eight, you would have been feasibly
out of stuff to do. Not that they're still worn't

(58:06):
drunk drivers, but but they were still like, oh no,
we have this whole apparatus, so you have to do something.
And there's a lot of organizations like that, but you know,
wanting people not to drunk drive versus wanting people to
believe that the police ro out to murder them, so you
better murder them first. Are kind of two different things.

(58:27):
One is arguably more injurious. All right, seven forty five
Ray stagic, He's oh, on the that's right, I forgot
we have Maybe that's what screwed up my stuff this morning.
And Rob hanging out. We'll get to your call here
in just a moment. Dude, do we got hit with
an EMP or we got hit with an EMP or something.
I don't know what's going on. Man, Do you ever

(58:49):
have a program glitch out on you? I had like
three of them all at the same time. I'm like, well,
the world's ending. I guess I don't have to do
the rest of the show.

Speaker 5 (58:59):
Take the week off.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
All right, Well I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna need
some nice weathers, so yeah.

Speaker 5 (59:04):
Well, yeah, it's gonna be good the next couple of days.
This morning, temperatures are down a bit from twenty four
hours ago, by a couple degrees in the triangle, but
the Triad a little bit milder, So there is some
mild the rare working in from the west, but just
about everybody in the little mid sixties to start, and
just about everybody in the middle eighties. The safternoon beautiful sunshine.
Might see a little cloud tonight. Stars that's the mid sixties,

(59:27):
low sixties. As you get further west, as you get
into the mountains again, there could be some pleasant upper fifties.
Sun should be back tomorrow, middle upper eighties. Some of
the new guidance trickling in suggests there could be a
shower thunderstorm tomorrow afternoon, and we'll have a chance of
some wet weather Saturday, a little better chance on Sunday afternoon,
so we'll start to see some wet weather potentially return

(59:48):
for the weekend. But I think dry weather and pleasant
weather is going to return next week with middle ladies,
So okay. See the good news here is we may
see the humidity and tempaus come up a little bit,
but I don't see anything officially saying we're gonna go
ninety plus over the next seven days, so I don't
think we're done with that. But over the next seven days,
we don't see it. Or nest that will pass to

(01:00:09):
our east may kick up some surf dangerous rip currents
over the weekend early next week, but a mess in
terms of direct impacts from a hurricane that's forecast to
strengthen as we head on through the next twenty four
hours to maybe a major hurricane and towards the island
of Bermuda and continue to stay out over the open
waters of the Atlantica just case. You know, it's a
hard target to hit Bermuda, so you know, it is

(01:00:30):
pretty rare.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
It doesn't have that often out there.

Speaker 5 (01:00:34):
Yeah, it is. But it looks like they may have
some hurricane force winds and some extremely heavy rainfall.

Speaker 6 (01:00:40):
So that's that.

Speaker 5 (01:00:41):
We'll look to the next system of Right now, the
tropical basin pretty quiet after stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
Who's your who's your Cowboys backup quarterback? You know, Dak
Prescott your back quarterback?

Speaker 5 (01:00:55):
I know I want Cooper Rush.

Speaker 1 (01:00:57):
Okay, can we have one of them? Can we have
one of them?

Speaker 5 (01:01:01):
Yeah? I mean it's not a bad not a bad option.

Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
Actually, I mean you saw what happened. You saw what
happened to the Vikings quarterback.

Speaker 5 (01:01:07):
Right I did? I did you know what I meant
to say? Sorry about that?

Speaker 8 (01:01:11):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
You didn't. It's okay, okay, no.

Speaker 5 (01:01:13):
Yeah, I do feel right though a little bit. That's
gonna be tough for rookie coming out and have that
happen to me, that that's your future.

Speaker 1 (01:01:20):
Well, it was, Oh Jesus, thank you. You should work,
You should work in a counseling office or get out
of here.

Speaker 5 (01:01:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
Sure, his bedside manner is a great. Wow. That was
your whole future. Now you're screwed. You have nothing to
live for. Thanks Ray, appreciate that. All right? Seven forty
eight your calls next legitimate shoot. Everybody knows that, including
the former Barack Obama aeric Holder Justice Department. And they
still decide to go ahead and protest and bring a

(01:01:49):
cop so and you know what, I feel like they're
gonna be whipping some stuff up. That's just me, that's
the little paranoid part of me. He just sees it
as between that and the monkey. Let's give them a
bunch of stuff where they don't have to question why
Kamala won't get near a microphone? Rob what's up?

Speaker 6 (01:02:08):
Okay? See, this is just the beginning. Do you know
how they won in twenty twenty with what I'm gonna
call it three hours. They're all gonna come back, and
this is just the start of it. The resurgence of
COVID riots and racism. That's what we're gonna hear for
the next three months. Leading up to this election, and
that's how the radical left won in twenty twenty, and
they're gonna do it again. This is just gonna get worse.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
Buckle in for the monkey pocks, sir. So here's the
deal with at least with COVID. Thanks for the call, Ross,
you would appreciate this. At least with COVID if the
airborne COVID could only get you if you were standing
up all the way. But at once you got under
the cloud of COVID, like you sat down in a restaurant,
then you were fine. So at least you had a

(01:02:51):
safe zone. Do you know what I mean? You got
a place where you could be safe with monkey pocks.
I think that safe zone's about midway down your body,
so I don't even know. Would you do you have
to lay down to eat? It's truly terrifying because yes,
the very same idiots, uh you know, doctors who ran
the COVID stuff and if you ever question you were
kicked off social media are out there posting these big

(01:03:13):
threads about why you need to freak out and why
this is it could be airborne, even though that's not
how I understand much of the monkey pox transference is happening. Ross.
Do you know why do you know how the monkey
pox transference seems to be happening at least in the
central part of affright.

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
I do because we we sort of went over it
last time. There was a big monkey box thing going around.

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
And what was it? It was restaurants, right, you're getting
into restaurants, breathing the air restaurant exactly. Oh okay, all right,
but it grow like stores, non essential stores, gyms too, right,
probably a gym's you know, So, I mean there's a
possibility somebody got it at a gym, maybe out of
the parking lot. I don't know, but like, yeah, so

(01:03:59):
we're getting ready to do that thing, Tom, real quick,
what's up.

Speaker 8 (01:04:04):
Yeah, I'm I'm pretty concerned Ksey about Grace Agic.

Speaker 6 (01:04:08):
His voice sounded very very poor on the on the
radio here.

Speaker 5 (01:04:13):
Yeah, I'm sure we need to ask him to step down.

Speaker 1 (01:04:16):
He might have to been he wouldn't understand, sir, he
wouldn't understand there asking him to step down. He'd have
to try to do an intervention with the family. Yeah,
he's on the Yeah, very sad.

Speaker 6 (01:04:29):
It was kind of a you know, list or something.

Speaker 1 (01:04:31):
I think maybe we should just start, you know, a
campaign to shut him down. Oh Andy, it is Thursday,
and that means we get a chance to chat with
our NERD correspondent. Uh stop sing, Hey, what's going on? Hey?

Speaker 8 (01:04:46):
Good morning, Casey.

Speaker 1 (01:04:48):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah we didn't Did we chat
last week? No, we didn't chat last week.

Speaker 8 (01:04:51):
No we haven't spoken in ages.

Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
Okay, Well, luckily, still people out there being dumb and
Country's companies out there making bad decisi So let's go
ahead and get to this. And I'm gonna start with
the story that we did yesterday. There's a reason people
hate lawyers. And I also understand that there's lawyers who
have to file stuff because it is the proper legal
thing to do. But it's, you know, it's not it's like,

(01:05:17):
do you see that movie with Tom Hanks? What was
it a Bridge of Spies? Do you ever see that movie?

Speaker 5 (01:05:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:05:25):
Is that a movie about lawyers?

Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
Yeah? I hear it is so anyway, So, but like
it's that whole idea where he's like he's a lawyer,
and he's just non he's an insurance lawyer, and then
all of a sudden he's kind of thrust in this
position and then he starts actually lawyering the case and
everybody hates him, but then spoiler alert, it works out
in the end and it's a true story kind of,
and so like, that's fine, even though people were mad

(01:05:51):
as hell that he was representing the Russian spy that
they had arrested in his sixties. So that being said,
you can convince me that a lawyer for Disney has
to tell a grieving widower that he can't have any
money or recompense or anything because he wanted to watch

(01:06:12):
Pippi Longstocking one time a year ago. The absolute absurdity
of the terms in service of Disney plus's a service,
even with a free trial, could somehow not allow you
to execute court rights in the state of Florida. Should
you ever visit the Magic Kingdom and have your wife

(01:06:34):
die in an Irish restaurant from probably peanut oil. Is
absurd and it is south Parkish, sir. Remember when The
Simpsons used to predict stuff? Now South Park does, and
that's worse. That's worse itself.

Speaker 8 (01:06:46):
I remember the south Park the human centipee, the human
centipede clause within the iTunes terms of service. But yes, no,
I'm getting ready to say goodbye to my teenage daughter.
She's about to turn fourteen. And I remember when we
signed up for Disney Plus just a couple of years
ago because we wanted to watch Star Wars. There was
a clause in there that said she had to serve

(01:07:08):
on the log flume at Florida Disney World for at
least three years. So yeah, she departs soon. She'll be
working there from age fourteen to seventeen.

Speaker 1 (01:07:18):
And you know what did you did? You have sisters?
Do you have sisters?

Speaker 6 (01:07:23):
I do?

Speaker 5 (01:07:23):
I have an older scholterh.

Speaker 1 (01:07:25):
Okay, so maybe you don't appreciate like I do. I
was the oldest. I have two younger sisters. You don't
want them in the house fourteen to seventeen.

Speaker 8 (01:07:32):
That's right, that's right.

Speaker 5 (01:07:33):
We want them on the log flim.

Speaker 1 (01:07:34):
You want them, You want them, not in the house.
They just they go crazy for a few years. But no, seriously,
what a dance because everything that is every time you
do something like this and your Disney or your what
we saw during COVID, this is a bigger issue for me.
You're squandering goodwill and Disney arguably, in my childhood, Disney

(01:07:56):
had probably the most good will of any company. That
doesn't mean they weren't doing stuff, but like, yes, don't
go with Google's thing that they got rid of that
they got rid of. Yes, so, but in reality, I
don't understand the motivation there, you.

Speaker 8 (01:08:15):
Know, I suppose the motivation, to give the best possible interpretation,
is that we live in a highly litigious society where,
you know, tort lawyers are constantly looking for opportunities to
bring sorts of mass litigation against big firms for for
most lawsuits, I'll never forget growing up. I think I'm

(01:08:35):
in the early two thousands and hearing about the McDonald's
or whatever that was being sued over some lady's coffee
being hot and she's spilled it on herself. Like, you
know what, that's the kind of stuff that these companies
want to fend off.

Speaker 1 (01:08:48):
Steven, you need to read that. You need to actually
look into that story. That woman absolutely should have been paid.
They handed they handed her, They prepared the coffee at
a time temperature that disintegrated the seal of the cup
and handed it to her.

Speaker 5 (01:09:05):
Okay, it melted, It.

Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
Melted, It melted. The it melted the cup and the
where the lid connected it warped the lid. So not
only do you have the cup come apart, you had
the lid twist in her hand which she was holding
on to. She was holding on to the cup, but
also tried to grab the lid. They so what McDonald's
did is McDonald's also had a team of PR people
out there, going this is absurd. But when you learn

(01:09:28):
the details of it, I don't know. I don't know
that she could she got paid millions. I don't even
remember what she got. But the absolute uh misinterpretation of
that story that was being propelled sticks to this day
and until a couple of years ago. I thought the
same thing, and I finally sat down and went through it.

Speaker 8 (01:09:47):
But you know, no fake news on the radio app.

Speaker 1 (01:09:50):
Oh no, there's lots of fake news, but you know,
not not serious stuff. It's mostly the fun stuff. But
so I'm sitting there looking at it and whatever they're
going to save, or whatever they thought they were going
to save paying this widower. So let's say it's five
million dollars right for Disney, which is worth what one
hundred and eighty billion or two hundred billion, whatever their

(01:10:11):
market cap is, just for their parks, the amount of
goodwill you're squandering by me talking about this on the
radio with you and everywhere else I saw this reported.
That has to be more impactful than five million dollars.
If you just get a couple of people going, you
know what, f these guys, I'm going to Universal Studios one.
You know, one family spends what a house there? It's

(01:10:33):
so damn expensive. It's It's okay.

Speaker 8 (01:10:36):
I distinctly recall the Piccolo family is seeking fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:10:42):
I mean speaking, they're seeking in excess of fifty thousand,
which is what the way that you initially file in Florida.
That's not necessarily the number. Florida's so weird, dude, which
sucks because you know how many Florida man stories that
we do. They have to indicate that they're seeking over
fifty over fifty thousand, so set a threshold for it.

(01:11:05):
But they're seeking a lot more because what they're looking
for is punitive. They just don't outlay. They don't put
it out publicly. Yeah, Florida's a weird state, dude.

Speaker 8 (01:11:15):
Disney is Disney is holding on to the strands of
their public reputation, and at every turn they have these
opportunities to try and generate better press for themselves and
again not be evil, and they just can't help it.
And even when they're doing this with this lawsuit and
saying that your Disney plus rights have signed away your

(01:11:35):
opportunity to collect damages in their parks, you know, they're
also like adding New Worlds Disney. They're building villains world
now in Disney. And it's not that I'm against Disney villains.
The villains are great, but I think this is just
a moment, like all that we care about these days
is to darkness, the bad guys, the horror show. Disney

(01:11:59):
is just losing the magic at every turn.

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
Well, and at least they have good villains, because I
read this week that Batman doesn't have good villains, so
a fundamental change was necessary. We talked about this on Monday,
where they have reimagined the the Batman villains and now
they're essentially a multicultural seminar of women having coffee whining

(01:12:23):
about their ex husbands. You know, how are we doing this? Man?

Speaker 8 (01:12:27):
Well, you know I do. I will say that if
you kind of go back in the Batman lore, the bit,
you know, Harley Quinn, the Joker's Sidekick was a character
that was drawn out of thin air and created for
Batman later on for kind of creating gender parody. They're like,
there are not enough female villains. There's Poison Ivy and Catwoman,

(01:12:47):
so they create the Joker a female sidekick, and Harley
Quinn today is iconic. And then you turn around to
the new Batman series where they are gender bending the
penguin and making the penguin some kind of weird lesbian
and a top hat. It sort of just reveals the
creative bankruptcy of this industry today, where the only creative

(01:13:10):
act they can possibly think of is not creating a
new female villain for the Batman universe, but changing a
different one and going back and making a penguin a woman.
It's just biarar. It's strange, it's lazy, and I'm pretty
sure comic book readers are set up with this stuff well.

Speaker 1 (01:13:30):
But you know, then the pushback you'll hear as well.
There is like Miles Morales, right, I understand the Miles
Morales thing, right, because Miles Morales is a different thing,
and I think some people were confused who were passive there,
like it's its whole thing, and I understand that there's
also different versions of the same comic, right, there's different universes.
I'm doing a horrible job explaining this, but back me

(01:13:52):
up here. There are different versions of beloved characters like Superman.
There's different iterations out there that did they did a
Batman where Bruce Wayne, where Bruce Wayne lost all his
money because he was part of the one percent. I mean,
that was the hot thing to do at the time. Yeah,
you know, the occupy Occupy Wall Street was going on, yep,

(01:14:14):
But that's not what's going on here. This is what
JJ Abrams is tied in with this too. I mean,
that's a pretty big name to decide that they're going
to just tell everyone that the Batman villains are bad,
so we have to reimagine them.

Speaker 8 (01:14:27):
Yeah, and so, like kind of what you described, there
are two very different things, multi verses and different dimensions
and different worlds within like Spider Man or Batman, I've
always existed. But that's different from criticizing everything that came
before you and saying there's a problem with the Batman
Lord that I'm going to solve by corrupting the source material.

(01:14:49):
I'm going to go back and fix an error which
is penguin should have been a woman.

Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
Now and Latino lesbian woman.

Speaker 8 (01:14:56):
In their defense, if you were going to gen nderbend
any of the Batman villains and and make them into
some weird woman in a top hat, the penguin would
probably be your best one, like Danny DeVito. But you
know that's uh, it's a lazy storytelling. Missus Freeze, Missus

(01:15:17):
Freeze the wife of mister Freeze, right.

Speaker 1 (01:15:20):
And also but naked, so even when they're sitting around
the house, she always needs a blanket, even if it's
eighty out A. Yeah, women can identify her with her.
I would argue, and this is this is the very
loaded question, but I'm sure you have an answer. I
would argue that Batman has the best villains.

Speaker 8 (01:15:39):
I suppose that's right. I mean, I I think Batman
does have the best villains. I've always thought Superman. I've
always thought Superman villains were pretty lame. I very much
enjoy mister Freeze. The Riddler was my favorite villain growing up.
I don't know, I don't know the name of the creature,
but I will always remember that giant bat from the

(01:16:00):
animated Batman. Oh yeah, the Jeames shorts, giant bat.

Speaker 1 (01:16:07):
It's George summer. You live up by DC, don't you.

Speaker 8 (01:16:11):
I do.

Speaker 1 (01:16:12):
Like the Washington Post had an article yesterday saying that
it's the summer of the Georgs, so feel free to
wear them.

Speaker 8 (01:16:16):
Dude, Brat summer means George summer.

Speaker 1 (01:16:19):
I guess short summer. Yeah yeah yeah, so uh yeah, no.
I think Batman has the best villains and uh and
so it's like it's the one that didn't need fixed.
You know, arguably you could look at some of the
Marvel stuff and and you and it's hard to understand
why certain villains haven't emerged. And I think that's that's
a fun discussion that fans can have. They're just throwing

(01:16:40):
they're just throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Here.
You're not going to be two Face and the Riddler
and the Joker. These are iconic from the Bam Powell
back in the day sixties Batman series days, and and
they've worked in every iteration. Although I will say that
Poison Ivy mister Freeze, that one movie, it was pretty bad.
But you know, all we don't have to talk about that. No, no, no, no, no,

(01:17:03):
we don't. So all right, so you're on team team that.
So my question then becomes is we're sticking with the
movies and the and TV stuff? Before I flip over
to our last topic, how did they screw up the
bad Lands movie so bad? I've been watching reviews on
this thing. For those of you who don't know, there's
a video game out where the entire video game is
just which gun can you get? I'm probably that's probably

(01:17:26):
not fair. But and then they decided or Borderlands. I'm sorry,
I said bad Lands, Borderlands, and they decided to do
a movie, but then go for a PG thirteen rating
so that they minimize the violence of a movie that's
all about the or a video game that's all about
the guns you can have, And then put in the

(01:17:48):
British actress who's totally miscast, and their Kate Latchet. What
the hell is going on?

Speaker 2 (01:17:53):
Why?

Speaker 1 (01:17:54):
Why do movie video game adaptions either really really hit
or really really miss.

Speaker 8 (01:18:02):
Well, you know, I think most video game adaptions turned
into you movies or television shows. Their main struggle is
that all of our experiences playing different games or video
games are different. You know, video games are partially a
thing that happen in your head. You play the game
your way. You have your own story and narratives that

(01:18:23):
you're telling yourself as the video game player, and then
when you try to bring these things onto the screen
and set the story, that actually undermines the experience of gaming.
There is no set story that everybody has shared whenever
they play a video game, and even ones that have
narrative storylines from beginning to end. And I think that's

(01:18:44):
mainly the problem. Video games provide really good, rich ideas,
but if you try to, I don't know, like copy
them beat for beat, there's not really much there, and
I think people then don't see themselves in.

Speaker 5 (01:18:57):
It as much.

Speaker 8 (01:18:58):
I have not watched Borderlands. I was choosing actually last
night between watching Borderlands finally or rewatching Game of Thrones,
and I chose Game of Thrones.

Speaker 1 (01:19:08):
Okay, well, but there's some that hit. That Mario Brothers
movie did really good, the animated one from what like
two years ago that did really really well. What would
you say is the best adapted real quick, what would
you say is the best adapted video game movie or
television show? Because right now there's there's some television shows
killing it on Amazon that are video game adaptions.

Speaker 8 (01:19:31):
That's a great question. I think probably the one that's
top of mind is the Last of Us. The Last
of Us was a good show, you know, copied it
in a good way.

Speaker 1 (01:19:41):
Okay, all right, well maybe we'll have that bigger discussion
on a bigger day. I got just about a minute
and a half. So Magic the Gathering. This is the
nerdiest story I have in my stag. Magic the Gathering
players are upset because they think AI is going to
design cards and they want live artist illustration. What and
and I don't understand it, So make me understand it

(01:20:02):
in forty five seconds. What are the nerds?

Speaker 8 (01:20:06):
I'm a Dungeons and Dragons player. I am not a nerd,
so I don't know anything about these Magic the Gathering kids.
Who are you know, just really the lowest of the lower.

Speaker 1 (01:20:16):
Do you understand how much you know? How much? If
I gotta I gotta do this story, We're not gonna
have enough time to get into this. But do you
understand that That is the nerdiest possible response to my
nerdiest question about my nerdiest article, where you literally understand
where you literally you know what it is. It's like
Star Wars people making fun of Star trek people.

Speaker 8 (01:20:34):
I'm a teefling. Teefling barred. I don't know anything about
magic the gathering.

Speaker 1 (01:20:38):
Okay, you get out of here. I'm gonna hit you
with the black lotus. You want that, you want the
black lotus, I'll bet you don't know. Which is the
thing I only learned about from Ross earlier. All right,
appreciate it, sir, have a good one. Okay, thanks doing.
I got really excited because I was like, I have
to talk to Steve, and I'm like, I have some
cup of noodles in my cup of noodles drawer, and
then I realized I only had the seafood one left,
and I can't eat seafood for breakfast. And I don't

(01:21:00):
know why that is, because I like seafood, but seafood
flavored noodles not for me. I remember saying that one
time and some guy got really offended. He's just like,
you know, all over the world they eat seafood for breakfast.
If you go to China, if you go to Japan,
which by the way, I've been to both of them,
and that is true, you can get seafood China. They

(01:21:21):
have a lot of noodles every part of the day,
but for breakfast, and I don't know, noodles feel weird.
There are a lot of people, but I will say this,
and I have traveled. I have traveled literally all over
the world. I'm not bragging. I just get really bored
and do things. I'm single. I can do that. I
don't have kids or a pet, so if I want
to go somewhere, I go. I have never been in

(01:21:41):
a country where if you go to a breakfast place
that is remotely near where tourists go. Okay, this is important,
so if you're near an international airport or you're near
a tourist destination that has hotels all that. I have
never been anywhere in the world and it doesn't have
an American style breakfast or a variation thereof. And I

(01:22:07):
mean that one hundred percent. Malaysia might have had the
weirdest breakfast stuff and it was some seafood on there.
And then right there is the Americano. If you're in
Latin America they call it or the Big American or whatever.
The one in Germany was funny because it's it's like
it's the stuff we eat for breakfast, but it's supersized

(01:22:28):
because it's playing on the part where Americans are fat
and they want four egg options with nine strips of
bacon and stuff. It's just crazy. So yeah, yeah, And
you know what I would argue, correct me if I'm
wrong here. I would argue that if everyone in the
world is forced to serve what we want for breakfast,
that we win, right, yea completely. Yeah, you're all the

(01:22:53):
conquered people.

Speaker 2 (01:22:53):
And Americans are fanan lazy except when we dominate the Olympics.
So shut up and serve me my breakfast.

Speaker 5 (01:22:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:22:59):
Oh you want squid, right, you want the squid, the
boiled squid with no Oh sorry, what did you want?
Oh you want bacon and sausage and eggs and potatoes.
Those are gonna be your staples. Every single country I
have ever been in that where you know I've been
in I guess long enough to sit there and have
to eat breakfast has an American version. And sometimes it's

(01:23:20):
not very good, right, because they've gotta be able to
get ingredients. But it's the spirit of it. Just oh
the sun never sets on the British Empire. Well, I
can't get a ra I can't get rash or bacon
everywhere I go, so we win. Sorry, I'm feeling very
patriotic this morning. Uh here, you want something that will

(01:23:40):
make you feel good, because Steven was telling me it
was all doom and gloom. But it's not. You ready
for this. The ringleader of the Portland Antifa, her name
is Alyssa eleanor Azar. Do you think they made her
ringleader because she's the one that looks the least undateable.

(01:24:03):
That's the only thing she got going for. I think
that probably she could clean up and be amid But anyway,
so anyway, so she was charged with felony riot, disorderly
conduct on the second degree, unlawful use of mace in
the second degree. Because here's what happened. A group had
put together an event a and this was a voter
registration event. This was not a proud boy event. This

(01:24:23):
was a voters registration event that was put together, by
the way, by a candidate. Now they go, oh, right
wing activists held the voter registration. The voter registration was
an event that had been permitted and put together. And
clack was a Clackham At Park in Oregon City. They

(01:24:45):
have a park shelter like a lot of parks do,
or you rent it like if you go to the
what's the big park and carry, because I've been to
a couple of political events over there. They had that
big shelter over there, and you know, people go in
and register it and it was for a local congressional candidate,
so it's a voter registration. And yeah, there are a
bunch of people hanging around there. Even was some dudes

(01:25:05):
that clearly looked like they were there if Antifusz showed up.
But this chick flew in there with a can of
bear spray and just doused everybody. And also there were
things that ended up other parts of the charging there
where she limited the ability of people to go ahead
and do things. Remember how we talked about the bridge

(01:25:27):
San Francisco folks who were charged with us taking over
the Golden Gate Bridge, and they literally caused somebody who
had to have emergency brain surgery to not be able
to have it and it worsened the condition. So so
the you know, there was all these other things that
happen when you do this. Well, guess what, she and

(01:25:48):
her cohorts got the book thrown at him kind of
by organ standards arguably. So oh and by the way,
they also had explosive devices. I should mention that, or
they were near by. I don't know if you've if
you've seen this or if you remember this weapons? Do
you remember the weapons hides and stuff that they were doing.

(01:26:11):
Who was it Veritas? Who was No? You know it
wasn't Yeah it was Veritas. Remember they sent well or no,
it was Stephen Crowder. Do you remember what was Stephen
Crowder's sidekicks name, not gay whatever. They sent him to
Iowa or something, and he showed up and he's like, hey,
I also want to be Antifa, and they're like they
were showing them where they were hiding, like guns and stuff,

(01:26:36):
so like, you know, this is not your this is
not your standard hippie protest. So they were in court
and here's the headline, Oregon jury convicts violent Portland Antifa
ringleader alyssa Azar of felony with let's see here, actually

(01:26:56):
multiple felonies. They didn't get her on the the mace
thing for some reason, even though that's clearly the impetus
for this, but they got her with the bigger stuff.
So yeah, and then they all started crying, you're the
leader of Antifa. You just got convicted for a felony
and you started crying, balling her eyes out, like how

(01:27:19):
did this happen to me? And it shows you what
larpingness is, doesn't it doesn't that speak to the level
of larp that's going on here? You're playing revolutionary. I
don't know if you know this about revolutionaries. Ross, maybe
you've heard this. Do you know that sometimes revolutionaries end
up in jail or worse? Had you heard any of this?

Speaker 2 (01:27:41):
I have confirmed.

Speaker 1 (01:27:42):
Yes, Yeah, that's sometimes how that goes. And and actually
most of the time that's.

Speaker 2 (01:27:48):
Kind of how it goes. Times other times you end
up on t shirts at hot topic. Yeah, that you
live happily ever after?

Speaker 1 (01:27:59):
Right? Are you? Are you implying that cha Guavera lived
happily ever after? I mean he was thirth He wasn't
even forty when he died, but.

Speaker 2 (01:28:11):
It was natural causes though. Really he'd like choked on
a breakfast food breakfast or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:28:16):
Right, Like, oh, no, he was from where was he from?
Venezuela or TRIMBORI was originally from No, Argentina, That's right,
he was from Argentina. I just had by the way,
you know, it was in Argentina at my hotel do
you know what they served for breakfast, Like a bunch
of a bunch of Latin breakfast food like plantanos and
stuff like that, but Americano. They had the Americano there

(01:28:39):
and it was actually pretty good. No, you'll be shocked
to learn that he did not. He did. He did
not die of natural causes or a croissant choking. Instead,
it was his own violent lifestyle that led to his demise.
Because it feels really good when you're eleven a revolutionary
and then you get a win under your belt, right,

(01:29:02):
you know what I'm saying, You get you got the
W You're like, look what we did with Cuba, and
then you know, you keep going through there and trying
to trying to keep the streak alive. Unfortunately that that
did not pan out from me. He didn't even see
his fortieth birthday. But other revolutionaries, even ones who were
considered successful until they weren't, a couple of them lived

(01:29:26):
it out. Arguably, Napoleon was a revolutionary. So so anyway,
so Chae Gavera's got all the w's going and he decides, hey,
I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go screw with Bolivia, and
Bolivia is a weird cat. You need to understand that
Bolivia was actually a breakaway from Brazil, and then Bolivia

(01:29:48):
started pulling some crap. Then all the other countries got
in there, so they had a lot of hard feelings
towards Argentina and various others. And the Bolivians captured him,
and I can't remember exactly it was gonna. I think
he was gonna. He was trying to organize somebody being assassinated,
which yeah, shockingly is a thing. So they capture him. Actually,

(01:30:11):
the US wanted him extradited to Panama and we were
going to go to work on him, and the Oblivion's
are like, you know what, Uh, how about I go
ahead and kill him? And then they executed him in Bolivia.
So not with a croissant either or plantain. But I

(01:30:31):
believe they asked for I believe what they did is
they asked for volunteers. If I remember this story, they
asked for volunteers to kill Guevara, and like it turned
into a lottery. And then some twenty seven year old
got the honor to shoot him because three of his
friends had been killed in his little insurgency attack, and
they did the thing in front of Guevara, so like,

(01:30:52):
we're going to kill you now. And then they asked
all the soldiers. They're like, hey, anybody want to kill him?
And and they're like ooh, me me, me, me me,
and then they I don't know exactly how they broke
it up, but then they figured it out and then
they let the dude get drunk and then they brought
him out and then he killed. He shot Guivara. So
that's how that ended in case you never knew. So

(01:31:13):
with that transition, let's go to Race Sedagic, where we
just learned some stuff. So those guys get a little weird, right,
Like everybody's like, I want to shoot No, I want
to shoot him. They're all fight over it. At that point,
you know, you could have let the guy pick and
then you go with the dude with the shakiest hand,
or do you go with the dude with the straightest hand?

Speaker 5 (01:31:32):
Uh, if you want him to miss or not?

Speaker 1 (01:31:35):
Right, Well, but if they miss, they're probably just going
to shoot you again. So probably probably you wanted the
dude who's not hammered and shape.

Speaker 2 (01:31:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:31:44):
Yeah, Well, shockingly, they the first one didn't take because
was drunk, so they had to shoot him again and again.

Speaker 5 (01:31:51):
Okay, yeah, all right, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:31:54):
All right, give us some weather present, yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:31:57):
President, Yeah, nice, not too bad. You know we've been
they have a nice break from the heaton. The humidity,
the mid upper nineties are gone for the foreseeable future.
And when I say that, I don't think the rest
of the summer, at least in the next seven days.
They maynage close.

Speaker 8 (01:32:12):
To ninety by tomorrow and the beginning.

Speaker 5 (01:32:14):
Of the weekend, but I think most of us will
stay in the middle eighties today, mid upper eighties tomorrow.
Lots of sunshine around both days, some indications there may
be a stray tomorrow afternoon, a shower storm, that is,
And then as they get into the weekend, there's some
rain chances. Saturday, small chance of an isolated storm, mid
upper eighties, and probably more of the same on Sunday,
mid upper eighties, with little better chances of afternoon storms.

(01:32:35):
But sunshine early next week returns. I think we're going
to get back into sunny weather, low humidity as a
front comes through over the weekend. How about load of
mid eighties for daytime highs and i't want to load
in the sixties. Yeah, I mean had low humidity too.
I mean, this really looks like it's gonna be some
good stuff today and tomorrow, not bad. The game between
stuff Saturday Sunday, Yeah, Sunday especially then early next week

(01:32:58):
looks really nice. The beach is could be a problem
early next week with swells kicked up from Ernesto, which
four kids become a major hurricane that's wins one fifteen
plus probably won't get too much stronger than that, goes
into Bermuda, Pitts. Bermuda goes away, stays away from the
gust mainland. But it's going to be pretty rough at
the beaches for a couple of days early next week.

Speaker 1 (01:33:18):
Okay, all right, thank you sir. In fact, nimaron yo,
will we will sing your praises? Okay, all right, there
you go. Raise magic from the Weather Channel coming up,
Jeff Bellinger and boy boy, have I got a new
piece of tech for you? Hang on.

Speaker 9 (01:33:31):
Well, good morning, Casey.

Speaker 3 (01:33:33):
Some good news.

Speaker 9 (01:33:34):
For Wall Street. The government reports retail sales were stronger
than expected last month. Sales rose one percent in July,
auto sales likely accounting for much of that game. Another
report from Washington says two hundred and twenty seven thousand
workers filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week. That
was seven thousand fewer than the prior week, and Walmart

(01:33:57):
posted its quarterly results this morning. The retailers justin per
share profit came in at sixty seven cents a share,
better than expected, and Walmart raised at sales and profit
guidance for the year, saying it's benefiting as consumers look
for bargains. So stock market futures are higher right across
the board, Casey, The S and P futures are up
fifty two points, Nasdaq futures or up two hundred twenty six,

(01:34:20):
and the Dow futures are up three hundred eighty three.
So we should do pretty well with our four oh
one k's today, Casey.

Speaker 1 (01:34:27):
Oh good, all right, Well we'll freak out later next
week or tomorrow, thank you sir, of course.

Speaker 6 (01:34:32):
Okay, have a good day.

Speaker 1 (01:34:33):
All right, there you go, Jeff Bellinger there from Bloomberg News. Uh, okay.
By the way, I actually went in checked to make
sure I wasn't giving you inaccurate jaege Era, I was
correct for the most part. It actually is far worse
than that. Do you know what jege Era's last words
were shoot coward for in oblivions. Okay, all right, yeah whatever.

Speaker 5 (01:35:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:35:00):
He actually he had an M two carbine and shot
him inside a hut and was so drunk he just
hit him in the arms and legs for like the
first six shots and then another then another person had
to come in and put it down. So there you go,
that's the accurate. I know it's tough stuff in the morning,
but what are you gonna do? Oh? By the way,

(01:35:22):
I thought this was parody at first, but it's not.
So you know who the British singer Sam Smith is
who came out and now he just wears like you
can't you can never unsee the red lingerie. Was that
an album cover or just a photo? I don't remember
what it was, but like, you can't bleach your eyes
enough on that. So he's come out and he has

(01:35:44):
adjusted his sexuality. Are you ready? Sam Smith now claims
that he is semi bisexual. You know, ross, Do you
want to know what that anyway? Do you know what
that is? Some of sexual do you want to know?
I guess it's maybe the better question there? Would you
want to know what that is?

Speaker 2 (01:36:04):
I mean, I don't think I need to know, but
for the benefit of the show, Sure, what is it?

Speaker 1 (01:36:10):
Semi bisexual means you are you are bisexual but only
attracted to one gender. So I that sounds straight right,
But I think it's if you can't get on the

(01:36:32):
diversity spectrum or the grievance spectrum. If you just say
you're straight, so you're you're bisexual but attracted to only
one gender, so then you're not bisexual. I don't know, man,
things are things are crazy? And speaking of crazy, a
Minnesota woman who was driving her boyfriend to couples therapy

(01:36:58):
because they were having some issues. He is under arrest
after ready for this. According to her, if you're going
to couples therapy, the tradition is to argue incessantly the
whole way there, which I guess is probably going to
happen in some cases. But she took things a step
further because he announced on the way to couple's therapy
he was also going to break up with her. So

(01:37:21):
what did she do? She tried to run him over
with a car. She allegedly forced him out of the vehicle,
scream to get out of the vehicle, then proceeded to
do a three point turn floor did in order to
run him over. Thankfully, he was able to dodge
