Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well that's nice.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Of course, of course we will go ahead and explore
as we go through today's show. What are you doing, dude,
I'm telling you.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Why do they stop these people? Sorry?

Speaker 2 (00:18):
I was just getting ready to sit here and talk
about it, and I flip over to wr L for
a second. Woman jumps into tiger enclosure at New Jersey Zoo.
Why is this a constant stream of stories? Sorry, I'm
digesting this with you right now. Okay, well she didn't.

(00:45):
The headline is a little much. Oh well, you know what,
maybe it isn't. All right, Well, I really want to
know this story. I'll share the details with you again. Sorry,
I'm just sitting here digesting it as as we get
things rolling on this fine morning. So not just the
tiger enclosure, went into the bear enclosure too, and tried

(01:11):
to pet them. What do you think, bet alcohol, you know,
it doesn't seem to be a suicidal thing.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
I don't know. And then they didn't catch her.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
How do you have that level of I'm sure people
are staring at that as it's happening. And then she
just casually strolls over to another critter enclosure and.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Gets in there.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
All right, So basically, What happened is she jumped on
there's two fences, there's whatever. The main enclosure is where
you could actually see the animal on the other side,
I guess touch them if you wanted to. And then
there's the super safety one that's back. So she got
in between them and try to stick her hand through
and pet a tiger and then a bear. I let

(02:01):
her do it. Why are you stopping her? Can you
imagine everybody's day at the zoo that day?

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Holy cow?

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Reading some of the comments here, let's see here in Bridgeton.
I don't even know dude, I don't even know where
that he is in New Jersey. According to a video
posted police show, the woman nearly get bit by a
Bengal tiger. The visitor climbed a safety visitor fence attempted
to pet the tiger. The woman jumped over the fence

(02:38):
ignored the signs say. They say that the woman is
also on video trying to do the same thing at
the bear exhibit. In that case, staff stopped her. Why
did let her do her thing?

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Man? What are you doing? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:59):
I don't understand how you then don't get hold of
that individual, but whatever.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
All right? So there you go.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
I got distracted in the first few minutes, all right,
coming up on the show, we got a little burger
King story that was a I'm trying to find stuff
that's not purely DNC, so you'll have to forgive me here.
I feel like it's better for all of us if
we have a little bit of distraction. But don't worry,

(03:25):
we got plenty of DNC stuff. And I'm starting to
think that literally the attendance numbers aren't that impressive, and
that half the people at the DNC are like conservative
influencers in disguise, because now we got I guess the
Matt Walsh thing is true. Who was looking actually, Oh,

(03:48):
James O'Keefe was looking absolutely ridiculous at this thing.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
He was running around and I don't even know how
to describe.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
He had like one of those mass but with the
with the filter things on the side, like a really
over the top bask which I guess if you're James
O'Keeffe you have to do to hide yourself. Maybe I
don't know. Here's what I wout understand. If that's one
thing that's the DNC. If you're an upper level government employee,

(04:22):
how do you keep going on a date with James
O'Keefe at this point, isn't there a sign or something
hanging in your office that been passed around the you know,
the old water cooler, Because that dude's like, the amount
of times that people will continue to sit down and
think they're on a date with him is He's pretty

(04:45):
crazy to me. But his disguise there as I saw it,
did not you would not know because it's so ridiculous
and over the top. Also, Alex whatever that dude's name is,
the guy who goes to the city council meeting gives
the ridiculous things down in Texas. He was there and

(05:05):
the BBC got hold of him, and it's simultaneously so
over the top but apparently partially believable to the BBC guy.
And I will say this, he's got all the catchphrases.
I'll give you a little snippet of that here in
a moment. But he's got all the catchphrases, right. The

(05:28):
words coming out are so insane as to be believable.
And so now the moonbats have formed little cabals of
people to look for them, like they're gonna start their
own witch hunt, which I don't understand, just don't talk
to them, just don't interview him, because the difference is

(05:52):
if they're gonna go quote unquote crash your thing, they're
waiting for.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
You to talk to him.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Like they're not standing up in the middle of roll
call and yelling at people. You know, they're not with
their sign not letting you speak any That's not the
m O. The MO is to go in there, stand
around and wait for somebody to interact with them. They
may have like individual conversations, but they're not disrupting your program.

(06:21):
So you know, I saw people going, you know, you
can't do this because blah blah, and I'm just like,
what are they doing. They're only doing things that are
predicated on you doing things. So we'll give you yet
another example of that. All right, So there you go,
just a little bit of it. Also, we'll get into

(06:43):
some Hollywood stuff. Have a little breather coming up at
eight o five with Stephen Kent. He'll join us, so
I'll give you the rest of a rundown. We'll get
into the sound coming up six thirteen. Hang on, it
looks like RFK Junior, especially if you you know, yeah,
you listen to what his running mates saying there Missus Shanahan,

(07:05):
I believe it's her name, is probably gonna endorse Trump.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Say it's kind of a big deal. It's kind of
a big deal.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Especially in a handful of states, Minnesota being one of them. Again,
I don't know that that's a state that's in play.
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. That being said, those
are the kinds of states where RFK endorsement might go far,

(07:34):
where people are willing to vote third party. Minnesota, of course,
proved that with the Jesse Ventura insanity. Although Ventura's what
he's a Ventura is now with Kamala? Right, is that
what you mentioned that Ross yesterday? I hadn't seen it.
So is Jesse Ventur endorsing Kamala? Is that where we are?

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (07:54):
I figur wou it where he was on But he
said it's time for a woman to take charge because
men have screwed it up enough. Well, okay, okay, all right,
So I'm starting to think maybe he's I don't know,
kind of allude.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
I don't know what.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
No, a little bit, but he was in that movie
with the thing, I mean out for log he got
him spoiler.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
But all right, well, I mean, he doesn't have time
to bleed because he's crushing the patriarchy.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Is that what? Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah, it
was the original line that cut it out.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
I thought he was crushing Exel's wive's financial future.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
What is that not true?

Speaker 4 (08:33):
I just.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Checking my notes, hold on, Yeah, Nope, that appears to
be the case. So yeah, all right, so yeah, so
if RFK comes again, I don't know how many of
it pans out. I do know that Trump in Ashborough yesterday.
It looked like a good event. Obviously I didn't go
to it. I'm curious if any of you did. Any

(08:58):
of you guys go to Ashboro and it was outside.
He did have like the full bulletproof setup. He's you're wondering,
although at one point he decided that he was gonna
go ahead and not be behind that thing anymore.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
So we'll get we'll.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Get into some of that here in just a few moments.
Let's see, you're back on the Kennedy thing. So Kennedy
reportedly set to drop out of the presidential race. He'll
address the nation, and he will do so while speaking
at the same event as Trump. See where is he's

(09:36):
in Arizona? On Friday, so I guess that will be
in Glendale, which is Phoenix. Trump said this week he's
open to Kennedy joining his administration if he were to
drop out and endorse him. Let's see, here's here's Trump.
He's a brilliant guy, very smart guy. I've known him
for a very long time. I think he also said

(09:57):
he's he's a quote interest seen dude, which I think
is Trump speak for this guy's a little weird, which
he is. But you know, people are a little weird
for either good reasons, bad reasons, or reasons that I
guess ston't point in either direction. You ever see the
video of RFK here like last month where there's I

(10:18):
don't know, there's like a rattle snake in his driveway.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
There's there's a rattle snake in his driveway.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
I don't know if that's his wife, whoever told him,
And he's just like, oh, well, let me go out
there and uh, let me just go out there and
grab it with my hands. Which again, if you're a Kennedy,
I mean at some point you're just like, eh, I
can't fly, can't can't go for a cruise in a convertible.

(10:47):
So and you're still you know, you're still good to go.
Maybe you just think the curse hasn't hit you, man,
and so you start doing dumb stuff. Although I shouldn't
say that. Me and my buddies used to go and
catch baby rattlesnakes and throw them at each other. Don't
tell my mother. She was convinced that's what we were doing.

(11:08):
And uh, we were not truthful.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
We were not. It's other that we were not truthful.
It's that we kinda.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Leaned away from that accusation because they had this, like
the other rattlesnake caves is what we called them. That
it was just an area out by the lake where
a bunch of rattlesnakes lived. They basically burrowed in and
you go out there and little babies are crawling around.
You can fling them at each other with sticks. Again,
don't do that. I'm much older now. That wasn't smart.

(11:40):
A little more respect for the snakes too, But uh,
you know, when you're uh, when you're fourteen and board,
you do things like that. So uh, anyway, he'll come on.
But again, I don't know what capacity do you stick
that dude in? Surgeon general. I mean that if you
just want the media to lose their damn minds. So

(12:01):
what exactly exactly that looks like? I do not know,
all right, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven fours. So did anybody head down to Ashborough and
go to the Trump rally? How was it was it?
Had you been to another rally? Here's why I'm asking.
I want to know if the security felt different. Obviously

(12:26):
you can't get away from the visual, right He's got
all the bullet bulletproof glass around them, so you know
that's going to be a bit of a change. I've
been to two of the Trump events in North Carolina,
and obviously that wasn't the case, the one at Dorton
and the one in Charlotte at the Bojangles Center. I

(12:48):
didn't get to the one down in Selma, but that
was the one. In watching that that kind of convinced me, dude,
it was gonna win, because like some of you were
parking your cars on the Interstate or on the highway
there and walking like a long ways, just abandoning your cars.
So I don't know if it was quite that turnout Nashborough,

(13:09):
but it looked pretty good.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
He had some jokes Mark Robinson was there.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
It was a whole thing. But at one point Trump
actually had to leave the enclosure as the one of
the crowd gooers needed some medical assistance. And this is
a this is always such a weird thing, right, you
want to be cognizant of it. Kamala did this the
other day by simply asking, and they lionized her in

(13:35):
some articles, you know, like she's an EMT. You just
saved somebody's life. The politicians. If the politician gets down
and starts literally giving CPR, then I think you can
write these fawning articles. That being said, the story was
probably much to the dismay of the secret surface, at

(13:57):
least the ones who care. Go ahead and you put
this whole thing up and and and then he's just like, uh,
oh wait, somebody's somebody doesn't feel well. Let me go
ahead and just leave this little cocoon that you've created
for me. Let's see here, what was I'm trying to

(14:17):
see what the medical issue was. It seems like they're okay, yeah,
so they had had a medical emergency. I guess, said Rica,
I don't know if they fainted. I guess they've probably fainted.
And then he leaves the little glass to give him
a hug. So I guess if you want a Trump hug,
just pretend to pretend to pass it. Don't do that, obviously,

(14:38):
but if that's your thing, I guess that's. Uh, that's
one way if if you're close enough to the path.
Let's see here. Also talked about some plans with the
uh we'll get We'll get into the audio here in
just a moment. But I was talking about what I
hope is actually a plan, and not just for the
Afghanistan insanity. Right, you have too many incidents where it

(15:03):
is clear that you have a bunch of people that
are derelict in their duty. I'm sitting at the You've
heard me crying the blues about my button borrow week
and now it just seems it's dead. So poor Ross
is going to have to fire the audio. You're still
going to get the audio, but now poor Ross is
going to be extra more busy.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
So that's how that's going to go.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
All right, we'll put in a trouble ticket on that.
All right, let's get over to the Ashborough rally yesterday.
You got Trump there, you got I know, you hat
like a gazillion people on the stage.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Actually, they're getting ready to do that thing.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
And Trump made himself a little joke too, talking about Robinson.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Going to the gym, which has been a thing for you.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
You talked to Mark about the gym thing, right, How
long has he been doing that for a while, right,
a few months he's he's called uh, he's.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
Called in on the show and mentioned that.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
So I don't know how successful it's been, but apparently
that must have been something that they were they were
talking about there. Uh, let's go ahead and get cut
one on the Trump thing. You'll hear the little mention here.

Speaker 5 (16:19):
Just so you know, these are great people.

Speaker 6 (16:21):
But I want to get him to hell off the
stage because I guarantee they didn't have this in mind
when they built this. Thank goodness, Mark lost a lot
of weight over.

Speaker 5 (16:32):
The last couple of months.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
I'm very you did.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Actually, Yeah, So I don't know. Could people were I
did see like one or two people go he's fat shaming. No,
he's not, shut up, shut up. But the reason I
was playing this out is we've had Mark on He's
literally mentioned it, so it's a thing, and you know,
and obviously they're having a little conversation there Trump.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
You know, Trump remembers this stuff and talk about it.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
I'm telling you that this is why the cognitive stuff
with Trump was so stupid when all the Biden stuff
was going on, because those are people would literally have
a conversation with him and then he would remember it.
I know it's not asking much, but the bar was
really low, and you know, and it was off prompt

(17:24):
or he's not on prompter talking about that. Just make
it a little joke. And you know what, it looked
like there was way too.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Many people on that stage. I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
He's probably sitting there like you'd probably hear it, creaking man.
But that's okay. Things got underway. There was a little
scare as one of the folks there had a fainted
or passed out, and when they had recovered, Trump literally
left his little barricade. Cut number two please.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
All right.

Speaker 7 (18:02):
Well we heard him ask doctor trying to clarify what
the crowd was asking for, and appears that call was answered,
and the Foreign President's wandered over there with Secret Service
and chug John check out what's going on.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
But it's just it's just he's a gawker at a
uh now, I gave a little hug whatever, all right,
because look, here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
You're giving a speech. Somebody's having a medical emergency. You
got two choices. You chug on or.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
You acknowledge it, and in some way probably uh you know,
impart yourself in there. So it's so funny how what
a big deal people will make of then, like that's
the human thing to do, and yet when one person
does it, it's like, oh, they're just wandering over there
like it's a car accident to stare at it.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
And then the other one they're like the.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Touch of Jesus was flowing through Kamala and she was
able to revive the pre I don't know if you
saw the coverage when she spoke the other day, was fawning.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
But I wanted to get to the meat of it.
So what's he there to talk about? What is? What is?

Speaker 2 (19:06):
What are the promises he's making? And you know what
is a good one. There's going to be some complications
because the way that we have set up, But I
don't think there's anyone out there, if they're honest with themselves,
doesn't think that there are people who work for us
who don't work for us, and It doesn't have to

(19:28):
be some complicated, behind the scenes coup kind of thing.
You just having competent people. You can't tell me. You
can't tell me that getting the job projection so wrong
was done at the hands of purely one percent competent people.

(19:49):
I refuse to believe that eight hundred thousand was the
eventual number. So with that in mind, this is the
Afghanistan version of it. And I'll be very curious if
this is a promise he keeps and what it looks like,
because they're going to fight them tooth and nail, and
it needs to be bigger than this cut number three.

Speaker 5 (20:10):
But the voters will hold Kamala and Joe accountable for
this November when I take office, and they're going to
be held accountable for what they've done to this country, right,
thank you. I will ask for the resignations of every
single senior military official who touched the Afghanistan disaster. I

(20:36):
want their resignations immediately now.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
And that'll be an interesting one too, because at what
point are you a member of the military following what
the commander in chief is saying, versus you were part
of the folks who thought this was a good idea,
and I think that he will have to draw that line.
That being said, there are so many other examples. There's

(21:01):
that obviously they're Secret Service stuff, secret Service stuff. Are
we still I know that, Yeah, obviously you quote got
the shooter, but are are we looking into that? By
the way, do you see the new footage of him
just walking around? Where's his rifle? There's video there's some

(21:21):
video that was you know, like merchants who were just
taking like pant, you know, there's pant look at the
crowd kind of stuff, and you see him just strolling around,
hands in his pockets, looking like a dude is just
checking out the merch Where is everything? It's it's very
close to the incident. Is this before I guess he
went over to the home depot or whatever it was.

(21:44):
I don't know, but like, there's a lot more to
look at there. And it became very clear listening to
the testimony from the now resigned Secret Service director as
well as the I guess the interim they feel they're
going to do things their way, and again, this is

(22:04):
what these cats don't understand. People look at that and
they filter it through their own experience. What would happen
in my job if xyz, you know, the just damn
near the worst thing you can think of was to
go down. And everybody knows, for the most part, minus
some weird nepotism or you know, for the most part,

(22:27):
the way that that would play out is somebody wouldn't
have that job anymore. They may still work there, but
they're not going to work there in a supervisory capacity.
And then they probably wouldn't work there. They wouldn't want
to take the demotion. But that's the reality people deal with.
And whether you think, well, that's unfair, this is why

(22:48):
the government does it better?

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Does it?

Speaker 2 (22:51):
They're not more efficient? Do you one efficiency? You go
to the private sector, hands down, It's not even a question.
And that's how the private sector operates. So he's gonna
get a lot of applause with the lines like that.
You don't believe me, they're incompetent. That's fine. Let's see here,

(23:12):
where's the cut I'm looking for? Ross is the where
is the the secretary?

Speaker 1 (23:24):
The commerce secretary? Cut? Is that the jobs report? One?

Speaker 2 (23:30):
I think it is? Okay, I'm gonna play this audio
and this is the cabinet member in charge of money. Okay,
this is or one of them. I guess I should
say this is this is the person who like, they're

(23:52):
not the ag secretary, they're not the Department of Interior,
where maybe the job's report doesn't matter. This woman is
a cabinet member in charge of our economy and is
being interviewed on MSNBC or CNN or whatever. And this

(24:13):
takes place after a day of prognosticating that there was
going to be this big adjustment, right because we knew
that for like twenty four hours. They estimated it was
between six hundred thousand and a million. We found out
kind of late because they had this is the other thing,
they had technical difficulties issuing the correction number. Can't somebody

(24:35):
just go to a microphone and go, hey, it's this
but whatever this is after all of that, and this
woman is sitting there in this the highest of high
profile positions, and the following exchange takes place.

Speaker 8 (24:49):
Go ahead, when you hear that, do you potentially think
that this new numbers could be a liability for this campaign?

Speaker 4 (24:55):
Now?

Speaker 9 (24:55):
When I hear that, first of all, I don't believe
it because I've never heard Donald Trump say anything true.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
It is though from the Bureau of Labor. I don't.
I'm not familiar with that.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
That is the United States Secretary of Commerce, Gina Romando,
and she hasn't heard that and she thinks.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Trump made it up. What are these people doing all day?
I don't.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
I don't understand. There are people who pay no attention
to politics and heard that story and she thinks it's
a it's a Trump lie. Right after her department was
partially responsible for the release, and obviously there was technical issues.
So these I feel like these are things that would
have been elevated to her. And she sat there hours

(25:49):
later saying that she didn't think it was true. And
I don't know if that was an effort to get
the media to stop talking about it or if she
I feel like she honestly. I think she honestly believed
that was fake and didn't just throw that out to
essentially deflight And that is the United States Secretary of Commerce.

(26:12):
So you're telling me, you're telling me that there are
not folks. And by the way, what is her background.
I want to say, she's got a business background, actually
one of the few within the cabinet.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah, she's venture capital I please, for love of.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
God, if that person is qualified to be the Secretary
of Commerce, then obviously I understand why everyone.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Else keeps their jobs.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
That is the biggest story she has probably had to
deal with in I don't know, maybe her appointment individual
one anyway, or at the very least the most recent.
And she accuses it of being a Trump lie. You
can't make this stuff up and six forty seven. Hang on,

(27:02):
all right, So yesterday was VP day. Today obviously is
the presidential Nominee Day at the DNC. So Tim Walls
out there, you know, here's here's one thing that.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
I thought was kind of interesting.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
This isn't necessarily about Walls, but it has to do
with family of the candidates, and specifically, there was a
video I saw where the em Hoff's daughter, obviously the
stepdaughter to Kamala Harris, her and her brother were like
in a hotel room and they were kind of cutting

(27:40):
It was very normal stuff. I know that visually she
could be pretty shocking, and some people like, I don't
think that's the best example for girls. But you know,
aside from that, heard her brother just sitting there talking
sounds very normal, and they're talking about their dad and
then their dad walks in from off stay and is

(28:01):
it scripted, probably or at the very least kind of
a setup.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
It's fine. That being said, what is strange to me.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Is the level of affinity that they still have for
their father, right because remember their for their the original
marriage to their mother ended when.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
He was sleeping with the babysitter.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
And I, you know, I people get over things and
they gravitate towards one parent or the other, and obviously
it's a much more complex situation there. But like I,
you know, I know people who had a parent who
had an affair and and broke up the marriage, who
don't talk to that parent anymore.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
They just cut them out.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Of their lives, right or wrong, that's what they did,
and so you never know the relationship there, which is
a good reason even if a politician brings up.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Leave the damn kids alone.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Do you see the Baron thing where they have this
dude who claims to be a mental health specialist who's
saying that he witnessed Baron like try to knife students,
and then just there there's nothing to back it up,
and they're just passed it. I saw that just being
feasted upon this week, which, by the way, the guy
also makes comments that clearly you wouldn't make as somebody

(29:25):
who's a mental health professional. Right, there's certain terms you
don't use when describing a especially a child who has
developmental disabilities or is dealing with mental health issues later
in light like you wouldn't use any of that.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
So it's really disturbing. And so I say that because.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Some of you, probably not you, but some of the
folks out there, for whatever reason, think turnabout's fair play
with kid?

Speaker 1 (30:01):
What are you doing?

Speaker 2 (30:03):
What on what planet do you think that you're convincing
people on social media of your political prowess by going
after a.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
What is he's nonverbal?

Speaker 2 (30:14):
I don't know, I don't know all of it, but
what again, what are you doing? Same with the Baron stuff.
I don't care that he's eighteen and he's going to college.
They started this stuff early, and.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
That whole hymn is, you know, Damien on the uh on.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
The playground, stuff like that's been floating around since going
back to Trump's when Trump was actually in office.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
And yet that's the direction some people are going.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
And I think all you have to do with Walls
is just listen to him, all right?

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Cut number one, here we go We've got a golden rule.
Mind your own damn business. He loves that. I own
this again.

Speaker 10 (30:59):
And not a clue IVF and fertility treatments, and this
is personal for Gwen and I. If you've never experienced
the hell that is infertility, I guarantee you you know
somebody who has. And I can remember praying each night
for a phone call, the pit in your stomach when

(31:22):
the phone had rang, and the absolute agony when we
heard the treatments hadn't worked. It took Gwen and I years,
but we had access to fertility treatments, and when our
daughter was born, we named her Hope.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Hope.

Speaker 10 (31:40):
Gus and Gwen, you are my entire world and I
love you.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Do all right, we're getting things. We're getting things rolling
on this fine morning.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
So it's true it's a trouble ticket morning, which is
you know, there's problems. Probably the audience knows too much
about our trouble tickets. I think they've heard about them.
So hopefully get that worked. But we'll still get the
audio for you, all right. Coming up on the show,
Stephen Kent will join us. We'll get our NERD correspondent.

(32:14):
We got to talk about the Batman thing. Oh man,
we're probably gonna need some warm milk and something for
because the Akali got canceled. I know we were all
shocked to learn that the latest Star Wars money Pit
has apparently been canceled.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
But don't worry.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
It's canceled not because it was bad or unbelievable or
challenged the canon to the point of exhaustion amongst.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Star Wars stands.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Oh, It's instead canceled because the patriarch here, So I
don't know, it's pretty standard excuses there, But we'll get
into that here with Stephen Kent and a few other
things that'll be coming up one hour from now. All right,
we're talking about Tim Walls there. I'm gonna play this

(33:03):
cut again. I'm gonna play this cut again that we
just played because Walls is talking about IVF and this
is why they've decided.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
To go the route of how dare You?

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Which I can't play right now, But they decided to
go with the how dare you not to address the
issue where he clearly.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Misrepresented what the treatment is.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Now if he'd had done it out of just being
a guy who didn't understand although when you're doing something
like that as a couple, I would assume that you
educate yourself, especially if you're in a position to be
a governor. Okay, so rather than address that one is
one thing, one is the other. But it doesn't take
away from the fact that if you're trying to have

(33:50):
a kid and it's challenging, it's an emotional roller coaster.
But you're in politics now and you now have a
history of misrepresenting things, going back to your service and
your rank as you left, and your rank when you
were putting together your Congressional challenge coin. And you're carrying

(34:11):
a weapon of war into war. So if you have
that track record misrepresenting the specifics of the fertility treatment
with one being much more more of a slog, maybe
not emotionally, but from going to the doctor standpoint, people
are going to pick up on that. But instead here

(34:32):
we go hear his how dare you outrage? Let's play
cut number two again.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
We've got a golden rule. Mind your own damn business.
You made it, you the help, you wouldn't shut up about.

Speaker 10 (34:45):
It and not include IVF and for kility treatments. And
this is personal for Gwyn and I. If you've never
experienced the hell that is in for tw I guarantee
you you know somebody who has. And I can remember
praying each night for a phone call, the pit in

(35:08):
your stomach when the phone had rang, and the absolute
agony when we heard the treatments hadn't worked. It took
Gwen and I years, but we had access to fertility
treatments and when our daughter was born, we named her Hope.
Hope Gus and Gwen, you are my entire world and.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
I love you.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
So that's what that was. That was how dare you
look at my kids? Why would you even question this?
And it is It is a very personal situation. However,
once you decide you're going to use it, and yes,
as a politician, even if you're trying to be genuine
and if you bring up something because you're trying to connect,

(35:57):
you're still kind of using it. And the difference is
he would bring it up a lot. They're you know,
just like the service stuff. There's a lot of instances,
and when you're doing that, you're also playing on the
emotion of people you're talking to because you're saying, look,
I can identify. So if you can identify, and you

(36:18):
tell them that, and you talk about it in words
that they've undergone the same treatment somebody who's sitting there,
who's maybe had to go through the implementation procedure and
everything that goes with it multiple times makes a connection
with you. And if it's not a truthful connection, that's
a problem.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
So that's how they.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Chose to play it. I'm not surprised. And then let's
go cut number one with Tim Wallas. Check this irony out.

Speaker 10 (36:48):
Leaders don't spend all day insulting people and blaming others.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Leaders do the work.

Speaker 10 (36:56):
So I don't know about you. I'm ready to turn
the page on these guys. So go ahead say it
with me. We're not going back.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
I can't even So have you seen the numbers on
the on the mentions of Trump at the DNC versus
the mentions of Biden at the RNC. I think Biden
got mentioned in the first few days four times.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
Four times.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
Now, obviously they're key focused on Kamla. I understand that,
but ultimately, when you're talking about why things are the
way that they are, them invoking Trump, I think it
was seventy three times in the first two days versus four,
it sounds like you are man and and like, that's
that's the whole premise of insulting there so again, and

(37:46):
then everybody claps with it. Do you think if Donald
Trump came out on stage and said that he wasn't
going to insult or nickname anyone, that everyone would clap.
I feel like they wouldn't. I feel like they'd be like, oh,
what are you talking about? Like you're nick you know.
For some people, some people obviously see it as tiring
and they don't think it's there. But a lot of
people think it is turned about is fair play. And

(38:09):
every single day it's some new accusation with the word
ist at the end. My political opponent is a is
a rapist? Is a racist? Is uh, you know, a bigot?

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Whatever it is?

Speaker 2 (38:22):
So I'll be very interesting interested to see if that,
in fact is the uh is the case?

Speaker 1 (38:28):
All right?

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Seven thirteen phone number eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four. Let's see here, all right, we
gotta we gotta get to the Judy Woodruff thing again.
Every single day it's something in the accusation that was
leveled a Trump yesterday. It that's a big damn deal

(38:50):
and she was very wrong. We'll get to the details
next hand. Well that's nice there, thank you, do do
do do do all right? Uh sorry, I gotta I
gotta do some stories that ain't ain't what's ain't what's
going on with Sorry, I'm just sitting there trying to
save something, uh not what's going on over at the

(39:12):
d n C, which we'll get to here in just
a moment.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
I'm just.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
I don't understand. I don't understand people sometimes, Man, on
what planet do you think that this is? And and
I think people are being unfairly critical of those who
are upset about this and has to do with a
burger king cook. I was just reading the details of
the story.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Screw the whoever decided this was a good idea. We'll
share that with.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
You in just a moment. But first, let me go
ahead and jump back to to this.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
So, in addition to Tim Walls, you gotta have you're
in Chicago, man, who do you gotta have? You gotta
have the opera? So and look you know where she's
coming down. So of course, wheel the Oprah out. Let's
go ahead and do this cut number three.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Go ahead. Oh, I'm sorry we're doing that. Let's do the.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Oprah cut please, because you've got to have Oprah, if
you're in Chicago.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
We just try to do the best we can to
save them. And if the place happens to belong to
a childless cat.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
Lady, I don't understand how that's become the ceased thing.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
But I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
I understand grabbing things your opponent says and using them like.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
Very famously Hillary.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Clinton with deplorables, right, I understand how you parlay that
is the childless cat lady. Does that rise the level
of deplorables? I think they're trying to make it that,
but then I see a bunch of people whining about
it that all look like.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
Childless count ladies. So I don't know.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
I and and then of course they're making up scenarios
why that is, well, you know this, this horrible thing,
this one instance happened, and there it's representative. They're talking
less about that, and they're talking about this phenomena. And
I see it when they do like man on the
like clearcut man on the street stuff, not where they're
only putting the bias stuff or they're actually trying to
talk to people. And what I keep seeing in these

(41:26):
videos where they're out there going all right, Trump or
Harris is. It's almost exclusively middle aged white women who
are all in on the Harris but can't explain why.
And then they go and they talk to people they
talk to They're run around talking to minorities in Chicago

(41:47):
and like the kids are screaming Trump right, And and
when you ask those individuals, like they were interviewing this mom.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
She got two kids that are just you know.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
Eight old and sugar whatever parents know what that feels
like she's trying to do an interview. By the way,
she's not a soft parent. She's very aggressive, so I
could appreciate that. But they're asking her and she can
give a concise answer why Trump. And it's very simple
because right now she's running around with her rug rats,

(42:17):
you know, try to keep her sanity and run her
errands and watch whatever money she has stretch far enough
so her family can eat, her kids can have back.
I think they were getting back to school stuff and
she was exhausted over that. And she's sitting there and
she's watching her dollars go away, and she's saying to herself,
I don't necessarily like Trump, but when we were going

(42:40):
to school for Johnny here. Five years ago when he
first went into kindergarten, I don't remember this being a thing.
So it's in a way, it's really nice to not
be in a position right now where the economy now
versus five years ago is literally make or break, not

(43:02):
where you don't notice. I don't care how much you make.
You notice right now or you're I guess in a coma.
But when you're talking to people who don't have the
privilege of being an HR, you know, by vice president
of HR at some woke company somewhere, and you get
a camera shoved in your face and you're like Harris

(43:22):
all day. I can't tell you why, but I just
love her. For those of you who like to talk
about privilege, that's a pretty good one for that not
to matter, or at the very least for you never
to be able to admit that it matters. Versus talking
to the elderly couple. It was part of that same
interview as I was watching. One was Hispanic and one

(43:44):
was white, if that matters to you, and they were
just talking about how concerned they were that their retirement
was going to hold and they were able to talk
about with Trump why they think that's a better thing.
You can say that they're wrong. At least they had
an answer, But you never know the lunacy that you're

(44:05):
going to be presented with. So you know, Oprah Winfrey,
even though she never married, she's not who you're talking about.
I've driven by her house in Montecito because I was
just when I got down there to Santa Barbara. It's
one of the suburbs. I'm like, a look at these
places and it's ridiculous. It is ridiculous, the homes in there.

(44:28):
I don't begrudge people. Good for you if you got it,
but they're not talking about you, Oprah. And of course
she's gonna come out and feed that beast. And then
here comes Bill Clinton. Now Bill Clinton, they were talking
about some of the health issues he's dealing.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
With, and it's I'll tell you what.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
There's a lot of people, a lot of folks, very
high profile people, where you hear these diagnoses. Man, and
you just you don't see this stuff coming. And I
don't know fully what's going on with Clinton, but you
know he's got he's shaking, his hands are shaking and stuff.
And the thing that stood out to me when I
went and saw Clinton when he was he was campaigning

(45:11):
for Barack Obama, and he came to the Target Center,
which is where the Timberwolves played basketball in Minnesota, and
I had to go down and cover it, and I'm
fine with that. And by the way, it was interesting
because you could still roll in there, even with a
lanyard that said the station that people on the left hated,
and people were still civil then. And I remember watching

(45:32):
Bill Clinton and what got me is his use of
his hands. He has giant hands, and he giant long fingers,
and he throughout the speech, he'll be waving him in
front of his face and all you could think is, damn,
that man's got giant fingers. So and I don't know
why that stuck out to me, but then when they
were talking about some of this other stuff, it just

(45:55):
kind of clicked. But here is Clinton yesterday during his
spiel two days ago.

Speaker 11 (45:59):
I turned any the oldest man in my family before
a generation. And the only personal vanity I want to
assort is I'm still younger than Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (46:16):
All right, So you know he's up there cutting up whatever,
and you know what I'll give. I don't do you
mind Clinton as much as as Obama and UH and
and Biden. Do you mind him when you hear him speak?
Do you think that do you think that he's as
vicious as and underhanded? Now, look everything we know about Clinton,

(46:39):
or do you think some of it teams with age
or maybe that wasn't even his thing? Admittedly I was
pretty young when Clinton was in there. I was still
in high school maybe middle school when he came in. No,
I was in high school, just into high school. So yeah,
I don't know. So if he wants to crack jokes
about the age, that's fine, pretty pretty innocuous. Well we'll

(47:00):
get into little Hollywood stuff. We got Stephen Kent joining
us uh and more than enough to chew on there.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
Check this out.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
So the head hamas dude and described as the October
seventh mastermind. Yah yaha, sinoar. I don't know how to
pronounce it. Also don't care.

Speaker 1 (47:24):
He he is.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
He is definitely one of I think the top three
that they've kind of been like, all right, look if.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
This, if this goes, these are the dudes we're going
to be greasing. Okay.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
And he's also one of these cats who never really
hangs out in Gaza.

Speaker 1 (47:44):
He's in London or Dubai. I don't even know where
he is right now. I think he's he's is he
a Arab Emirates or something.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
Anyway, So as they're talking about a ceasefire deal, he
had he had a little extra thing he wanted in there,
according to officials are this is a new report from
New York Post officials who are part of the ceasefire discussions.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
Which what the hell that means, I don't know. At
this point.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
Sinhwar had emphasized during the most recent round of negotiations
that in addition to and they got a bunch of stuff,
they want some settlements moved. They want a bunch of
money which will just be for food and medical supplies
and totally won't go towards weapons. He also wants to
not be killed, so a little personal requests there in

(48:41):
what it is supposed to be a business thing. Yeah,
So Sinowar has emphasized that as part of any ceasefire,
his safety must be guaranteed. That according to a senior
Egyptian official, because again it's not just the US folks
that are in there on this negotiation.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
They got folks from a lot of the Middle Eastern countries. Too.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
Sinowar insisted on guarantee for his safety and security to
be assured. Sinwar, by the way, the reason he's in
charge is because we greased the other dude last month
and he had just put in the work on the
October seventh attack, so of course they elevated him to
the head of Hamas.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
So that's the guy. Hey, what do you do in
this situation?

Speaker 2 (49:26):
Because if there's a dude who needs murdered, now I
think we can agree. If there's somebody on this earth
who needs stuffed into a wood chipper, it's this dude, right,
his whole thing, his master production was the absolute slaughter

(49:48):
of individuals all over Israel, folks who are at a
music festial. I don't have to remind you of this,
and just all the horribleness that went with it. That's
his that's his thing, and it literally then got him
a promotion. And now you've got to guarantee not to
kill him. And what happens if he I don't know, uh,

(50:10):
what happens if I there was an accident, right trips
and falls on a bullet or something like it, then
it turns into a whole thing. I wouldn't have any
business guaranteeing this. The US can say we're not going
to assassinate you. But whatever Israel wants to do or
whatever maybe some of your irritated countrymen want to do,

(50:30):
that's not on us. Maybe you shouldn't be such a
giant piece of crap and murdering everybody, and then people
won't want to murder you. I don't know, it just
it afflicts me, Like we see these stories where you know,
some lawyers out there playing games about the death penalty
for a client who murdered.

Speaker 1 (50:46):
Like eight kids.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
Sorry, but there's going to be a receptive audience. Remember
you had our own government who just a couple of
weeks ago, try I had to do a deal with
the mastermind of nine to eleven and to give him
to get rid of the death penalty on three thousand
counts of murder. So they probably will guarantee this guy's safety.

(51:15):
And my only hope is that some other country, Greece
is or maybe just a random dude, I don't know,
get some you get some pumped up ex soldiers like
no more.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
I you know, how do you even control that?

Speaker 2 (51:28):
Because you can't go, yeah, we won't kill you, and
then all of a sudden, your head explodes like a
melon three seconds later.

Speaker 1 (51:33):
Thanks for showing up to the signing.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
But if anything does happen to him, even if we
have nothing to do with it, it'll still be used
in a propaganda fashion. The US and Israel lie, The
Jews lied, right, they can't be trusted even if this
guy gets Greece for just you.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
Know, being around Gazer or whatever.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
Or there's infighting, which there is within Hamas, there's infighting
over who was going to take charge. Is absolute absurdy, fellow,
personal request, can you imagine?

Speaker 1 (52:05):
But we do this stuff right, There is a.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
Window in which you can do awful stuff and if
you'll agree to stuff, we'll just let you go. And
why wouldn't they in Gaza think this?

Speaker 11 (52:19):
Right?

Speaker 1 (52:19):
They?

Speaker 2 (52:20):
You know, it wasn't that many years ago speaking of
we just had the Clinton audio. Wasn't that many years
ago where we basically told a dude he could abscond
with billions of dollars talking about Yasser Arafat and we
just let that happen. Uh with Saddam Hussein, remember before
we did Shock and Awe, before we went into Baghdad,

(52:41):
Saddam Hussein was told he can basically fill up his
coffers and go wherever he wants. You just can't stay here.
You don't got to go home, but you can't stay here.
And had he taken that, the US would have abided
by it. We have a long history of letting dirt
bags live of and relative peace as long as we

(53:02):
can remove them from power, which you know irritates some
people sometimes, but screw this guy. They're just sitting there
holding hostages, murdering people, making rape tapes, and and you
know he's the dude writing the playbook. No, you don't
agree to that said there were due personal stuff. Uh,

(53:22):
the new position comes, all right, Sinwar rose top blah
blah blah. The new position comes after months of Sinhwar
intervening with the ceasefire and hostage exchange talks. So he's
literally been holding them up at the time, saying that no,
no negotiations will happen. We will continue fighting until Israel

(53:43):
is destroyed. Fine, give him what he wants, give them
what he wants. But look, we tried to talk to
the talk to the top dude, and this is what
he said. Well, but he's saying this now, Well, that's
because he's a coward. And it's funny how how that
stuff works. Man, This guy was like, we'll die. Well
what did he say? There's actually a quote here he

(54:05):
said it would be an honor to die fighting Israel.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
Well, what happened to that?

Speaker 2 (54:12):
This is what you wanted? Many in June messages obtained
by The Wall Street Journal revealed his calculations, choking up
tens of thousands killed in Gaza is quote necessary sacrifices.
That's what he's saying about his own quote unquote people.
He says, by doing this, we have the Israelis right

(54:33):
where we want them. That dude needs to go in
a wood chipper. It doesn't have to be a wood chipper.
I just that would make warm the cockles of my heart.
There are some people who are so evil they shouldn't
exist anymore. And I know that that's not a popular thought,
but it's true. There are some people that are so

(54:56):
evil and are willing so flippantly to murder so many people.
They don't have business. Breathing is the thing we used
to know, and apparently it is not now. There's a
reason that there's a reason we did Nuremberg. Okay, and

(55:19):
admittedly we didn't sack. We didn't sentence everyone to death,
but everyone we did died. Sometimes they you know, the
suicide of themselves. That's fine, whatever, I just need you gone.
And it gets sticky when you get into the people
who are almost on that cusp, because then everyone, you know,

(55:39):
people use that to nation build. But every now and
then some folks come along where you're like, can we
all agree except for maybe one that that person needs
to go in a wood chipper. And I think this
dude rises to that level when you read this Wall
Street Journal report. He is positively giddy over ten thousand

(56:01):
of his countrymen dying because.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
It screws is real.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
More so give him what he wants. Doesn't have to
be the wood chipper. Maybe gets something that's more thematic
for the area. I don't know what that would be,
but you know, make it happen, and don't agree to
anything with this dude. Now, Ray Stagic. You can agree
to stuff with Ray. He's not a cold bloody, calculated murderer.

(56:24):
He's just a guy who's at all living the dream
right now.

Speaker 1 (56:27):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 8 (56:28):
There's times where people may want to take that type
of action. And I've been threatening before.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
You wouldn't put you in a wood chipper, sir.

Speaker 8 (56:35):
Yeah, yeah, but I don't think with this forecast.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
Yeah no, no, you're gonna you're gonna be good. Yeah.
Another dude's ahead of hamas you're fine. Oh okay.

Speaker 8 (56:46):
So trying to draw the distinction there and see where
I fit in. I'm well, I'm glad I fit on
the good side there. So yeah, I mean, temperatures are
starting to rebound a little bit the next few afternoons.
Next week, maybe back into the nineties, a little more humidities.
It's big ridge starts to work back toward the east
yesterday in Texas, really where all the heat has been

(57:08):
Abilene one thirteen, all time record high for them, a
record in San Antonio one. Await, So it's not gonna
get that hot, so maybe that'll make us feel better.
But low eighties next couple of days into the weekend,
middle and upper eighties should see a lot of sunshine,
maybe some clouds at times, especially during the morning hours.
I'm like, we're seeing this morning and maybe some patche fog.
But then early next week upper eighties to low nineties

(57:28):
across the area, probably Monday through Wednesday. I don't see
a chance of rain in here to maybe later next week.
So yeah, looking pretty good. Get a little warmer, a
little more humidity around next week, but not bad. Great
for outdoor stuff and good for the beaches.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
A pool.

Speaker 8 (57:43):
The water hasn't cooled off just a bit. I know,
my wol water temperatures dropped probably five to seven agrees
with some of these loaws getting in the upper fifties.
And I know, so now it's only like eighty two
or eighty three instead of eighty eight. But yeah, I
made tough life.

Speaker 1 (57:57):
Yeah, totally goes fun me for you?

Speaker 4 (57:59):
Or yeah I do.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (58:01):
Do I need a heater? I need a heater? Starts?

Speaker 1 (58:04):
Is your pool temperature? Okay?

Speaker 2 (58:05):
My poor raise has dropped five degrees for his private
pool at his house.

Speaker 1 (58:11):
I would hate if you were having anyone had to
deal with that. Man. It's just well, you.

Speaker 2 (58:17):
Go ahead and take the rest of the hour. Awful
tech text next hour. Okay, all right, there we go.
All right, there we go, raced agic having pool issues
here on the case O Day radio program. Hang on,
I realized it's not a new thing. It's an old
thing that they're trying to do again. I want to
I want to play some audio for you first from

(58:37):
Judy Woodruf from PBS, and she's going to as part
of a conversation she's having with I think she's actually
on with the MSNBC report, it doesn't matter. So she's
sitting there at one of the you know, the the
desks there at the d n C, and she starts
talking about something very specific and makes a pretty stark accusation. Now,

(59:03):
it's important to understand that this is an accusation that
has nothing behind It has been literally denied by everybody involved.
And would Riff pretend, she says, she didn't know that,
But you have a responsibility if you're going to bring
this up, because it's a hell of an accusation to
have done a little bit of due diligence. So here's

(59:24):
what would Riff said off the cuff. She says, that
sounds very familiar. See, if you can figure out what
it is, go ahead.

Speaker 9 (59:31):
It is over there right now working with net and Yahoo.
The reporting is that former President Trump is on the
phone with the Prime Minister of Israel urging him not
to cut a deal right now, because that is it's
believed that would help Sahara's campaign. So I don't know

(59:51):
where that. I don't know who knows whether that will
come about or not. But I have to think that
the Harris campaign would like for President Biden to do
what President to do, which work on that one.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
Yeah, that's a hell of an accusation. I just want
to I want to just point out what she's saying.
She's saying that with everything going on, with the continued
bloodshed in Israel, that Donald Trump, out of personal whatever aspirations,
literally is making phone calls telling Israel not to sign

(01:00:26):
a do a deal which would inevitably, inevitably mean more
people killed. Not that the deal will probably stop it,
but you get it. And because he's not in office yet,
that's a that's a big boy accusation. And immediately I
realize they're trying to Reagan him. If you remember, that

(01:00:50):
was the accusation with Reagan over the Iranian hostages Jimmy,
we want to make Jimmy Carter look bad, So whatever
you do, don't release the hotes.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
Yet that was that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
Was this thing that continues to live to this day
as something that people believe that Reagan did with no evidence.
And it's like, you can't come up with something New
So that's what they're accusing Trump of. Now, Woodriff, as
you can imagine, people were like, now, wait a second,
Wait a second, why would you go ahead and say that.

(01:01:25):
So Woodriff had to literally post she had to do
her retraction because she had said that in I'm sorry
sitting there whistling on the mic. She had done that
in her capacity as a quote unquote journalist at PBS,
you know, a journalist that you pay for, and just
said it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
And the thing is like, in my mind, I immediately went.

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
That's a really really big thing that she's accusing. I
had not seen anything, so I started to look for it. Well,
turns out quote I want, this is what she says.
I want to clarify my remarks made on the News
special Monday night about the ongoing ceasefire talks in the
Middle East. As I said this, what I said basically

(01:02:08):
was not based on my original reporting. I was referring
to reports I had read in Axios and Reuters. In
that live TV moment, I repeated a story that I
hadn't seen that later showed both denied it because by
the time she got to it Axios and Reuters and
I think there was one other had already retracted the

(01:02:30):
story because they themselves were essentially making that up with
no evidence. And then she goes and parrots it in
the middle of primetime broadcast at the DNC, just like
it's nothing. So again, you squander the trust. You know,
PBS is long gone, but you squandered the trust each

(01:02:51):
and every day. The airs always seemed to go in
the same way. This is where we find ourselves. And
now she's just super sorry that she didn't check that.
And don't get me wrong, I throw stuff up from
like I think I read this, but I also say
I think I read this, let me check.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
So that's what we go and do, because I do.

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
I do strive for accuracy when I'm not just being
you know, on serious stuff. The other you know, some
stuff are just having fun with. But that's a serious thing.
Because you can take from this moment right now to
whenever he ceasefire is achieved, count up the bodies on
both sides, and you can lay that at the feet
of Trump if you honestly believe that, Well, he didn't

(01:03:35):
want this, so they had to keep going. And now
seven hundred more people are dead, which I'm sure Judy
Woodworff would love to report because she's an absolute moonbad
just like the rest of them. The difference is you're
paying her salary. Dude's probably cheesed over the cancelation of
the Acolyte. It's Stephen Ken, how you doing, sir? What's
going on?

Speaker 4 (01:03:54):
I'm doing well? So cheese casey, me and like five
other people.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
Well, I wouldn't say that, man, It is uh, how
do I say this? It is quite the list of
accusations that I saw being thrown around over the cancelation. So,
you know, not the not the you know where people
I analyze and go, you know, it didn't connect with
me or I didn't like it. And I understand everybody's

(01:04:21):
all geared up on this, but basically, if you didn't
like it, you're a super bigot and the patriarchy and
all this. And I would ask myself this, when that happens,
and and admittedly it's happened more often than it used to,
do you think that that's the best strategy for all
involved to go?

Speaker 6 (01:04:41):
Right?

Speaker 4 (01:04:42):
It's never it has never been. Yeah, no, it's never
been a workable strategy to guilt people into watching shows.
But you know, the demise of the Acolyte is fascinating
to me. So it it did actually start right out
of the gate according to Nielsen's top ten ratings above
the Book of Boba Fet It had a better start
than that show in terms of raw viewership, and it

(01:05:06):
also had moments where it was peaking above and Or.
But that show just bottomed out. And it's not because
of any of the identity politics and The Acolyte. It's
because it was a really garbage written show. It had
no pacing, no flow. They had this sort of mystery
plot that they wanted to unravel over the entire season

(01:05:27):
and it was agonizing to get through. It was just
poorly done and people didn't want to watch it, and
therefore it is not coming back for a second season.

Speaker 2 (01:05:38):
Sorry, okay, but as we've seen, so that goes away
and then you know, they've got twenty bullets in the
chamber when it comes to these.

Speaker 1 (01:05:46):
Star Wars projects.

Speaker 2 (01:05:47):
So do you look at elements like that if you
like they do they have the ability to take an
honest look at it and go you know, because you're right.
The writing thing is one I probably heard that is
the biggest objection. Who wrote this?

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
Those are from people who were seemingly enjoying the show.

Speaker 2 (01:06:04):
So is there enough maturities to not sit there and go, oh,
the reason they didn't like it is because they're racist
or sexist or whatever it is, to maybe go all right, look,
we can't do this the same way. Here's an upcoming project.
Let's make sure that our writing teams buttoned down. Do
they have the emotional maturity to do that, because I

(01:06:24):
don't feel like they do some of them.

Speaker 12 (01:06:26):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:06:27):
I think we're very much in a cycle of entertainment
where the writers, the people making these shows are way
too concerned about the opinions of their loudest critics on
YouTube who have incredible microphones. I mean, there are star
Wars and entertainment YouTubers who have bigger audiences than these
shows themselves, and they care, I think a bit too

(01:06:51):
much about what they think about certain things. You know.
I'm reminded of just one tweet from an entertainment reporter
named Brian Young, who kind of covers all of this stuff,
and he said, upon the Acolytes' cancelation, not good. The
worst people in the world will take this as a
victory lap. And so I was going, okay, So is

(01:07:14):
it not good that the Acolyte didn't get renewed, or
is it not good because it's a victory for people
you don't like?

Speaker 3 (01:07:23):
Well, that's own people.

Speaker 4 (01:07:28):
Yeah, well, renew shows to own people.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
Here's here's where I think the disconnect is for for
some of the entertainment reporters and for some of the
folks within the show. They would sit there and tell
you there is nobody more loathsome than nerd rotic or
it's a Gundam or critical Drinker, right right, They would
sit there and tell you there's nothing more loast than that. However,

(01:07:50):
when I started adding the numbers up from those three
and a few others, that is your audience, right, And
so if the audience is responding pot to critical Drinker
bashing on the acolide and you could you have to
assume I think you would assume that core Star Wars
fans that are going to be counted, there's going to

(01:08:13):
be a lot of them counted amongst critical Drinker fans.
That why wouldn't you listen even if you don't like
the way it was suggested to you because it came
across as snarky, Why wouldn't you at least put that
in your hat and go, you know, how many people
complain about this show? And then I have to evaluate
whether I give a crap it's something you do right,
And if I feel that it's the people complaining our

(01:08:34):
core audience members, then I take it a lot more
seriously than somebody who's just a political drive by person
who wants to get a little snark in. And they
don't seem to be able to do that.

Speaker 4 (01:08:46):
Uh yeah, no they don't. And I think this is
just one of the things that you can add atop
the pire of casualties. Ever since the George Floyd Summer
of twenty twenty, you know, the Mandalorian came out, and
twenty and nineteen about a year before the reckoning that
we had in our culture where we just had to

(01:09:07):
stop serving up majority's content that they enjoyed. And you know,
I make that comment about Floyd in twenty twenty because
this was sort of when the entertainment industry rejiggered in
a direction of saying, you know, screw legacy fans, screw
majority white audiences, screw male audiences as well, we have

(01:09:28):
to do all these things for minority group XYZ. Even
if it is commercially unpopular. Even if it is something
that will bomb, we will do it because we want
despite those people. And that's what's changed in the culture.
It's what's changed in the way the Olympics it's run.
It's the way that changes Star Wars shows. There's not

(01:09:49):
been much good since that time. The Mandalorian is still
the only thing holding on to Star Wars star Wars reputation.

Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
Is there anything I guess I really hadn't looked at
they have anything coming down the pipe that we're supposed
to be excited about.

Speaker 4 (01:10:04):
So they've got a new show called The Skeleton Crew
coming out starring Jude Law. This takes place after the
fall of the Jedi Order and it is Goonies in space.
They basically are taking a couple of like twelve year
old kids and they stumble upon a broken down starship,
climb inside, and then it comes to life and takes

(01:10:24):
them off into space on an adventure. It looks like,
it looks like a lot of fun, and they are
really ripping off a lot of beats of the Goonies
for this show to have it just be a I
don't know, like nineteen nineties VHS cassette type kids adventure.
It feels like The Sandlot as well. And they should
have done this years ago. They should have done it

(01:10:45):
a long time ago.

Speaker 2 (01:10:46):
Apple's doing that right now, and I got to admit
I'm not inclined generally to dip into things until all
the episodes are there. But I did watch the first
episode of Time Bandits, which is Apple TV is doing.
It's uh, what's it's got the the Wakiki what is
the director's name? Who did the thor movie that was
from New Zealand Wahiti. Yeah, no, it's not that rossall say,

(01:11:13):
it's something to my head?

Speaker 1 (01:11:14):
What what did you just say?

Speaker 2 (01:11:17):
Oh Tahiti WAHITII or whatever that dude. So anyway, so
he's in it right, and it is. It's pure goofball
and some of the time and the time manded. Super
fans are not happy, and and they didn't promise it
was going to be a remake.

Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
It's obviously it's a series. It's its own thing.

Speaker 2 (01:11:34):
I would say it's appropriate for kids. I didn't see
a lot of politics in there for people care about
that stuff. It's it's probably not my speed, but I
found it entertaining because it's kind of mindless.

Speaker 4 (01:11:45):
But from the eighties, right, yes, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:11:48):
So like it looks like they they spent a bunch
of money to do it. Uh, it's really well done.
The characters is funny. Some of it's pretty funny, and
it's just like, okay, so they can do that, yay, Right,
And I haven't seen all the rest of the episodes,
but it's like it is an achievable thing, even in
a post George Floyd era. But I hear what you're saying, So,

(01:12:10):
you know, let that guy do his thing. I guess
if he's going to get it right.

Speaker 4 (01:12:14):
So well, it just it reminds me of the context
in which Star Wars came about in nineteen seventy seven.
This was at the tail end of a decade of
despair anti hero stories, you know, Dirty Harry and Taxi
Driver and all that kind of stuff, and George Lucas
talked a lot about how he really felt the country

(01:12:36):
was in a malaise, kind of echoing what Jimmy Carter
said about America being in a period of malaise around
that time, and he wanted to lift stuff out of that,
and that's what Star Wars was. It was fun it
was campy, it was hopeful, it was going back to
you know, just Arthurian legend. And at some point this

(01:12:57):
bleak period that we are in the cynicism and everything
being turned inside out from you know, stories we love
like Star Wars to I don't know what's the latest
thing they destroyed Batman?

Speaker 1 (01:13:09):
Oh right, hold on, we want to get to.

Speaker 4 (01:13:10):
That at some point. At some point this will end
and we will return to a hopeful Goofy era. But
I don't know when that's going to.

Speaker 2 (01:13:18):
Be, okay, of speaking of Batman, although you kind of
did Ross send me this headline or maybe.

Speaker 1 (01:13:24):
You send it to him?

Speaker 4 (01:13:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:13:28):
I do, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:13:29):
So for those of you because we mentioned this on
the show, yes, so let me just mention this again.

Speaker 1 (01:13:33):
This is the insufferability. This is this again.

Speaker 2 (01:13:36):
This is people who are in the you know, or
in the meat grinder, right, whether it's from a from
a journalistic standpoint or from a production standpoint, right, And
and some of them are so insufferable. And in fact,
I just see that it got community noted, which is amazing.
All right, So this is the tweet from pc gamer.

(01:13:56):
Watch a latex clad billionaire punch out poor people, in
the debut gameplay trailer for Batman Arkham Shadow.

Speaker 1 (01:14:04):
And I would say this before you respond to that.

Speaker 2 (01:14:07):
It's my understanding, though it's not necessarily something that I
spent a lot of time playing that the Batman Arkham
stuff was very popular. So you're crapping on a popular
thing here, because I just roll my eyes and go,
you know what, I just I don't even I don't
even care anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:14:22):
I don't want to explore this.

Speaker 2 (01:14:24):
And I understand that's PC Gamer and not the the
you know.

Speaker 1 (01:14:29):
The studio.

Speaker 2 (01:14:29):
But PC Gamer relies on people to still be interested
in this stuff, and they're doing their damnedest to kill
that interest with crap like this.

Speaker 4 (01:14:38):
Yeah. I mean people are being paid like this journalist
Andy Chalk who wrote that piece. I presume this person
is still employed there. You know, they are not held
to a standard of actually promoting the interests of their audience.
You're supposed to subvert the audience, insalt the audience, and
do anything that you can to make them look bigoted

(01:14:59):
or classiest or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:15:01):
In any way.

Speaker 4 (01:15:02):
And there aren't consequences for that ever since the year
twenty twenty oh. You know, so if you if you
write a PC gamer, you can basically just get away
with dunking and hating on your own audience and the
stories they love. Like Batman. This has long been a
part of you know, kind of goofy comic con criticisms
of Batman that he's some pist of class.

Speaker 1 (01:15:23):
Warrior, a millionaire. I love that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
I love that when it was the goofy thing where
people were going, like because they did a Batman series
where it was predicated on he lost all his money, right,
it was one of the Batman spinoffs and comics, and
then people were had they were having a fun discussion
about this, right, derevn No. Then people had to turn
it into you know, he's the one percent, right, because

(01:15:46):
that predated the George Floyd stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:15:50):
So they were.

Speaker 2 (01:15:50):
Taking something where you could have what sound like aggressive
conversation at a distance amongst you know, officionados of various
sci fi and actually you know, comic stuff. And then
but then they turned it into you know where, you know,
where it really broke. Did you ever see the review
for the PS five that they did, I don't know

(01:16:11):
if that was PC gamer.

Speaker 1 (01:16:13):
Ross sent me this review.

Speaker 2 (01:16:14):
So this is the PS five's coming out, you would
argue that's a pretty big deal if you're in the
video game journalism sector.

Speaker 1 (01:16:21):
Right the new PlayStation.

Speaker 2 (01:16:25):
So this guy wrote a whole thing talking about how
he can't actually review it because what privilege or ross?

Speaker 1 (01:16:32):
What am I forgetting? What was it? What was the
crux of it?

Speaker 2 (01:16:34):
He couldn't do it because he's so sad because we
all suck so much or something.

Speaker 1 (01:16:38):
I can't oh the child labor in China and all this.

Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
And it literally is supposed to be and he's like,
I can't, I can't review it. I can't do and
people clicked it because it says review of the PS five,
So I get away with that.

Speaker 1 (01:16:52):
You know, where does it end?

Speaker 4 (01:16:56):
It ends with us not having anything that we enjoy. Ever,
you know, the Batman thing will will always be funny,
but it does speak to sort of this thing that
has been in politics for the past couple of years.
You know, like he's punching poor people. Okay, we're the
poor people waving knives at innocent bystanders where they holding

(01:17:21):
women and children hostage at gunpoint on a subway, because
that's who Batman punches. Go around knocking out the homeless.

Speaker 1 (01:17:31):
You know, you want to hear.

Speaker 2 (01:17:33):
The community note that's attached to that tweet now says
Batman does not randomly punch poor people, as the tweet suggest.
He specifically attacks criminals, some of which are poor. Yes,
that's logic, that's the logical.

Speaker 4 (01:17:49):
So according to social justice Warriors, criminals are are the poor,
and poor are the criminals. Uh, forgive me for saying that.
I think poor people and people who are struggling financial well,
it can actually be great people and heroes and good.

Speaker 1 (01:18:04):
They're poors.

Speaker 2 (01:18:06):
That's why we call them the poors in this show, right, No,
it's the people are absolute lunatics and and somehow being
poor as a badge of honor.

Speaker 1 (01:18:15):
Here, here's the deal.

Speaker 2 (01:18:16):
Sometimes people who don't have money are great people, and
sometimes they're really not. They're really and by the way,
some of them had money and they're poor because they're
such horrible people, just like rich people. Sometimes there's no
reason for a dude to be rich because he's such
a piece of garbage.

Speaker 1 (01:18:32):
But it just is the way that it is.

Speaker 2 (01:18:34):
And one day, yeah, I hope it's so. I want
to I want to be unnecessarily wealthy, So strive, strive
for the American dream. All right, I appreciate you bouncing
around with me. You have no idea the computer hell,
I was just in which they just got fixed, so
I had some other stuff. We're not going to get
to it today, but uh, you know, we'll try again
next week.

Speaker 1 (01:18:51):
How's that for you?

Speaker 4 (01:18:53):
Till next time?

Speaker 1 (01:18:54):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:18:54):
There you goes Stephen Kent. Make sure you're on Twitter,
by the way. You check out the various you follow
them on Twitter. It's not just video game stuff too.
Whatever seems to catch his eyes, very active on there,
and we tweet out. You go to our Twitter right
now at Casey on the radio. We tweet out with
his handle there to promote it, so you'll find it

(01:19:17):
right there. Give him a follow, and start Batman.

Speaker 1 (01:19:19):
Debates with him if you want. That'll be okay.

Speaker 2 (01:19:22):
All right, speaking of debates, you know this Burger King
story I gotta tell you about next.

Speaker 1 (01:19:27):
Is a doozy hang on for that, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:19:30):
Anybody want to guess who just signed with one of
the big talent agencies, Big, big, big talent agency represents
a lot of I'm just looking at the list here
other some actors, actresses, a lot of social media folks,
a lot of big ones too, Born Bred Talent. All right, Ross,

(01:19:50):
you haven't seen this story? Who do you think just
signed with a major talent agency and is now said
to be in production of some TV show stuff? Regun yeah, Rega,
Oh you did see it?

Speaker 1 (01:20:01):
Okay? No I didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:20:02):
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Australian Olympic breakdance phenom.

Speaker 1 (01:20:12):
That's their words. Dot bye.

Speaker 2 (01:20:15):
Reagan has now signed with the Born Bred Talent agency. Currently,
the agency says that they are linked. They are linked
already to getting her on the next season of I'm
a Celebrity getting Me out of Here, which I think
that's a British one. I think that's a bit but
it's a big one in the UK reality show and
that they quote have other ideas to platform her. I

(01:20:41):
like what, I say, what do you do with her
when her five minutes are up? And how do you
also make the argument that she couldn't see this coming.

Speaker 1 (01:20:52):
I mean she's sitting there.

Speaker 2 (01:20:54):
I'm assuming she's sitting there practicing her kangaroo going. They
just signed hok to a girl to something.

Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
Oh I got this sure enough.

Speaker 2 (01:21:05):
They also, in addition to that, want to put her
on h what is this? They got some other Mass Singer.
Can she sing? Does she sing like she dance? Is
there a dance there's a dance version of Mass Singer?

Speaker 1 (01:21:18):
Isn't there? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:21:20):
I don't watch any of them. The whole thing just
seems so creepy to me. The first time I saw it,
like like, we it's a show, but they're all furries
but they're people, you know. And then like Giuliani was
in one and I'm like, I'm not even watching them.
And then I think they do another one where they
digitize them right where there are singers, but they're like

(01:21:43):
some sort of like digital cartoon looking character. And then
they're backstage and I guess it's you know, they're wearing
I don't even know if they're wearing the suits. I
don't know how they do it, but that one seemed
kind of creepy to me as well. So all right, yeah,
let's go ahead and get Raygun all signed up for stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:21:59):
Why the hell not? So check this out.

Speaker 2 (01:22:02):
I thought people's reaction to this was pretty interesting. There's
a guy by the name of Kevin Ford. Kevin Ford
works at or worked at Burger King. I guess he
worked at the one at the airport and in Vegas
there's some m Karen and he's just doing his thing,
goes in, does his grind. He he cooks for them

(01:22:26):
and he has spent twenty seven years working for him,
never missed a day, which in the world of fast food,
I want you to think about that, right, that's that's
one of the constant complaints that you'll hear, especially with
entry level jobs, is staffing issues.

Speaker 1 (01:22:41):
And we've obviously we've seen it, you know through COVID.

Speaker 2 (01:22:45):
So this guy grinds for twenty seven years working at
the same burger king, working on the grill. He'd advanced,
but not you know, it wasn't a manager or anything.
And he was to the extent that he could. He
was content to do that. In the re was is,
he said that he had an obligation to his family.
He's got I think he's got two daughters. No, he's

(01:23:06):
got four daughters, four daughters. And he said every day,
you know, every day I thought, oh, man, I just this.
He just said, I got four little girls. Man, I'm
gonna go through it. I'm gonna be the best dad.
And eventually put him through high school and college. Well,
it came to the attention the story of some local media,
and it seemingly came to the attention because one of

(01:23:28):
the uh, one of the people that are part of
the ownership group said something because they I think they
realized it's a nice story. But they also realized that's
that's some nice pr and so they, you know, they
did a story about this dude, and to uh, I
guess to put the kapper on it, the Burger King
franchise decided that they were going to do something nice

(01:23:51):
and you know, reward him for his twenty seven years
of uninterrupted service.

Speaker 1 (01:23:59):
So what happened? So the.

Speaker 2 (01:24:04):
Burger King management decided to give him a gift and
here we go, twenty seven years. He was handed a
backpack with a movie ticket, a Starbucks cup in a
mix of candy and chocolate as they thank you for
his three decades of service. Now I saw people who

(01:24:25):
were going, well, you know what they paid him, didn't he?
And that was part of the agreement. And I agree
with you, right, if you make an agreement that stuff
is nice. Christmas bonuses are nice, even a Jelly of
the month club or whatever. But you know, ultimately, if
it's just straight up you agree to do a job,
they agree to pay you for it. That is, that

(01:24:46):
is the simplest part of the arrangement. But here's why
folks who were saying that people getting mad about this
need to shut up. This is not as simple as that,
because it's clear that the Burger King wanted to use
him to build their business. Right, they did this and

(01:25:07):
I seemingly the dumbest way possible.

Speaker 1 (01:25:11):
They wanted it. They wanted it.

Speaker 2 (01:25:13):
Out there that hey, there's this look at this guy.
Look at our employees, twenty seven years doing great. We
must be a great company to work for. And by
the way, we're gonna do something. Here's something a little
generous for him. And then the generous thing was not
I don't know, buy them some tickets to a really
nice show in Vegas, dinner out, you know, something something
you could probably get for free because you do business

(01:25:34):
in the market.

Speaker 1 (01:25:36):
But they didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:25:36):
They gave him stuff that you'd get tricker treating, minus
the backpack. So I got no problem people beefing on
the Burger King or this Burger King. It's a franchise,
own one, so take it for what it's worth. But
that dude was more than willing to take the press.

Speaker 1 (01:25:51):
I don't know if it's a dude. Really, it looks
like it's a ownership group.

Speaker 2 (01:25:54):
But that group was willing to take the press that
would make them look good, make their employe look good.

Speaker 1 (01:26:00):
Nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 2 (01:26:01):
But then you tripped over your own you know what, man,
and you gave a guy a handful of candy, a
ticket to the movies, and an empty Starbucks cup, which,
by the way, I don't know. Do you think the
dude got that at the Starbucks that morning, washed it
out and put it in there?

Speaker 1 (01:26:18):
Right you.

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
There's a reason that that was a plot point in
National Lampoons people because it showed the absurdity of it.
It showed the absurdity. Uh, he thinks he's going to
get a pool with his bonus and then corporate America
because it's it's relatable, it's identifiable, and there are a
lot of people keep their head down and go all right, well,

(01:26:40):
don't don't uh, don't make trouble for me. I will
make trouble for you. We'll just we'll do this employee
employer thing. And that's fine. That's are my heads that
most days, right Ross and I just want to come
in and do our thing man and manage and management
for the most part is happy to let us do it.
That's a good relationship. Do they need to buy me
a condo in the mountains somewhere?

Speaker 1 (01:27:03):
That'd be nice.

Speaker 2 (01:27:04):
Hand to hint, but I don't expect him to. But also,
I just hit my anniversary with with iHeart because I
got my you know, you get the management. Hey, congratulations,
So whatef our managers sent that? And I'm looking at
it all those years and I'm just like, cool, Yeah,
this has been fun.

Speaker 1 (01:27:22):
Man. I enjoy it. I enjoy doing this show.

Speaker 2 (01:27:25):
I enjoy running my mouth every day. That being said,
if you got me a backpack with a handful of
candy in there and a Starbucks cup, I.

Speaker 1 (01:27:35):
Feel a little insulted just saying all right.

Speaker 2 (01:27:40):
Eight forty three raced agent from the Weather Channel is standby.
Dude does twenty seven years at Burger King and they
give him the Jelly of the Month club. It's like,
it's like, just don't just don't go say you're going
to reward a guy in the newspaper and then give
him a backpack with candy and a Starbucks cup. For
twenty seven years, man guy was grinding at twenty seven years.

Speaker 1 (01:28:00):
Oh oh no, you know what.

Speaker 2 (01:28:03):
They probably probably gave him a backpack with a Starbucks
cup and he's like, no, not going to do this.
All right, Well, we'll give him just a just a
moment here. It's a good it's a good story. The
guy's very good a humor. All right, let's get raised
stagic in here. He has what's going on?

Speaker 11 (01:28:20):
You know?

Speaker 8 (01:28:20):
Doing all right? Just trying to scan through and look
for things to talk about.

Speaker 1 (01:28:25):
I mean there's much we talk about other stuff. What else?

Speaker 8 (01:28:29):
Yeah, we could could Yeah, there's actually a I think
it's uh hector, hector whatever it is, heading maybe toward
Hawaii that could affect it is the powerhouse Delaware State
against Hawaii.

Speaker 1 (01:28:43):
This stup Brazil? Did you look to see how the
things gonna go for?

Speaker 11 (01:28:49):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:28:49):
For well, I know we're a little ways out, but
isn't one of the first week games is in Brazil?

Speaker 12 (01:28:54):
Right?

Speaker 4 (01:28:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:28:55):
And isn't there some controversy there about there's a green
Bay and Philly and they both wear green and there's
talking about green and what was that all about? Because
I turned it off once they I was like, are
you kidding?

Speaker 1 (01:29:05):
Do you remember that happened a couple of years ago.
It was like who is it?

Speaker 2 (01:29:07):
Jadson Philly And it was near impossible to tell who
was who. Yeah, but now you're gonna go in the
middle of the Amazon and you're all wearing green.

Speaker 8 (01:29:17):
I don't know. I mean, I understand you want to.

Speaker 1 (01:29:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:29:22):
I'm not four. I just like even this, even this
game Saturday, the a c C game Florida State and
Georgia Tech in Ireland. I mean, I don't know. You
you could easily because I don't think. I don't think
the team's left until yesterday or today. And I'm kind
of like that usually had flight problems. Yeah, the Mississippi

(01:29:45):
or so, I can't remember who what. But the point is, yeah,
you got, you got all these pieces. You got to
get into the place here for week one on both sides,
and it's like you better hope nothing screws up, man,
you know, And yeah, I can easily you know, text
get a lot of hype, but and I could easily
see like Tech only the upset. Then somebody's saying, well,
you know, it's tough to play, and you got and
that could be a factor in that game. And I'd

(01:30:07):
be like you know what, that's a legitimate excuse. Then
they'd say, well both teams.

Speaker 1 (01:30:10):
Have well yeah, but no, no, no, I get you want,
but keep it home.

Speaker 2 (01:30:16):
I want, I want the packers end zone. Okay, play
it up, local man.

Speaker 8 (01:30:23):
Well who is the starter?

Speaker 1 (01:30:24):
Now?

Speaker 8 (01:30:25):
What do you mean for the Vikings? Who's gonna you know,
who's gonna be don't.

Speaker 1 (01:30:29):
Even weather it out? That is a shame. All right, Yeah,
I got about a minute.

Speaker 8 (01:30:34):
I wish we could talk, yeah, Warmed, I mean it's sunny, Yeah,
it's tough, getting hotter. We'll go from upper seventies to
low eighties and mid eighties over the weekend, maybe ninety
degrees in some spots and no ray maybe till later
next week. Tropics. We'll keep an eye on it. Things
are quiet right now to the first week or so
of September. Maybe little development there, so there's still time

(01:30:55):
for the beaches. But it looks like a better weekend
this weekend than last weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:30:59):
Oh right, all right, maybe next time.

Speaker 2 (01:31:01):
What a pity? All right, thank you sir, appreciate you.
All right, we'll come back with Jeff Bellinger next hang on.

Speaker 13 (01:31:06):
Wel good morning, casey. Stock market futures have been modestly
higher all morning. The Dow futures are up thirty points
at the moment. Got word from Washington this morning that
there was an uptech last week and the number of
new claims for unemployment benefits. The Labor Department reports two
hundred thirty two thousand workers filed new applications last week,
and that was four thousand more than the prior week

(01:31:28):
two hundred thirty two thousand, still a historically low number.
The number of continuing claims also rose by four thousand.
That suggests it's taking a little bit longer for workers
who lose a job to find their next one. The
jobless claims report is one more data point for FED
chair Jerome Powell to consider ahead of tomorrow's very important
address in Jacksonville. A contract dispute with workers has brought

(01:31:51):
both of Canada's major freight railroads to a full stop.
If this shutdown should drag on, it's going to have
an impact on the US. The Department of Transportation notes
that billions of dollars worth of goods moved between the
US and Canada via rail each month. Sources say Edgar
Bronfman has sweetened his bid for control of Paramount Global

(01:32:12):
to six billion dollars. That's one point seven billion dollars
more than he offered.

Speaker 1 (01:32:16):
Just three days ago.

Speaker 13 (01:32:18):
Walmart's set to introduce a new perk for members of
its Walmart Plus loyalty program. The ninety eight dollars a
year program will soon include discounts on meals from Burger King.
Walmart says Burger King is very popular among Walmart Plus members,
and the CEO of Crayolas thinking outside the crayon box,
Casey about ways to boost sales. The company has been

(01:32:40):
granted a patent for the way It's crayon smell. CEO
Pete Regiro and visions pumping that smell into stores, bringing
back some childhood memories for shoppers who would hopefully buy
more crayons and choose Crayola.

Speaker 1 (01:32:55):
Casey, what do.

Speaker 2 (01:32:56):
You mean like the standard rubber smell, or because I
remember they had scented, they had like a senate version.

Speaker 13 (01:33:02):
I think just the general you get in a box
of sixty four Crayola crayons, if you if you might
remember how that that waxy smell that apparently that's that's
unique to Crayola. They were able to convince the patent
office of that.

Speaker 2 (01:33:15):
Okay, all right, so I guess next is eating them
for the for the kids to do. So all right, yes,
I guess so, all right, thank you, appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (01:33:24):
Take care.

Speaker 2 (01:33:26):
Is that is that a childhood smell, the way that
the fresh box of Crayola smells you crack that old?

Speaker 1 (01:33:34):
I guess I never did. I remember that now you
know what it was.

Speaker 2 (01:33:37):
And when I was in school and the girls mostly
had it, remember all the scented markers. Those were a
thing and I and even then I always thought because
simultaneously they'd have the scented.

Speaker 1 (01:33:48):
Markers but also tell you not to huff things. And
I'm like.

Speaker 2 (01:33:53):
Kind of trading you to huff things because you know
people would you know, huff other things, other marks that
would actually, I guess do something. I never tried it.
It never looks smart to me, but I don't know.
But okay, all right, there we go. All right, A
couple things here real quick we got I didn't get
to all the audio. Yeah, I literally just got access

(01:34:14):
back to my own next gen. So it's been one
of those mornings. But anyway, a couple quick things here.
The amount of I got to play this audio because
so many. I think a lot of people think this
is real and it's not real. It's funny, but it's
not real. And this is the same dude Alex whatever
his name is, that goes and does like the city

(01:34:35):
council meetings right or is just ridiculous. During his two minutes,
those go viral. So he, along with I don't know
every other right wing pundit, is apparently in disguise at
the DNC. He gets a microphone stuck in his face
by the BBC, and I will say he is. He
is mildly convincing from a lingo standpoint. After a couple

(01:34:57):
of minutes of kind of even the BBC got it's like, yeah,
I don't think this is real. But at first he
and people listening around him are like, yeah, this guy's
telling his truth. Man, So here here is what they
what was being told to the BBC. And he's wearing
like he's wearing the whole get up.

Speaker 1 (01:35:15):
So check this out.

Speaker 8 (01:35:16):
Well, what brought you out anywhere?

Speaker 12 (01:35:18):
No, listen, my name is no source at UTD pronouns
like I'm just really excited how we have like the
first black woman that could be the president of the
United States and you're like my wife right wearing a
polyamors relationship. The lover that my wife's hook is African American,
and like, I've learned so much about.

Speaker 8 (01:35:36):
The struggle that people of color go through as a
result of my.

Speaker 12 (01:35:40):
Wife's boyfriend, and so I'm excited to really do my
partin phil telling Verity's about marginalized community.

Speaker 9 (01:35:44):
They're like, the best way to do that is to get.

Speaker 12 (01:35:46):
The first woman of color to be the commander of chief.

Speaker 8 (01:35:49):
And I'm really excited.

Speaker 2 (01:35:50):
And then like follow up question, like they get into it,
and again the BBC guy, I think figures it out.
But the funny thing is is that's a really popular meme.
And I was really surprised it was because immediately I'm like, oh, yeah,
that no, that dude's doing the meme. That dude's doing
the meme. But if you're a BBC reporter, apparently the
meme hasn't made it across the pond, so to speak yet.

Speaker 11 (01:36:12):
So
