Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
On Tuesday or whatever you want to call it. It's
actually cruel and unusual. I was just thinking about this
as I was dragging butt this morning. Give a man
a three day weekend, two days fine, right? You still
remember what the you know, your work is, what you're doing,
You're used to it. You throw that extra day on there.
I don't know, man, that first Tuesday back. I think

(00:23):
the way you got to handle this is three day
weekends or four day weekends, so at least you could
rest on the fact that you worked less days than
you did, not.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
That.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
These are my two thoughts this right, that mostly because
I'm grumpy. And two, if we don't have Maverick every
day all day, so you need a few Mavericks buzzing
caracas with that jet low so he can see it.
I'm I don't know what we're doing. I know that

(00:59):
we have a little we had a little shortage and
some some portions of the armed services, but I'm sure
we got enough pilots between the branches. What are we doing?
And if you don't know what that is, we took
Maduro's jet chilling in Fort Lauderdale right now. The thing was,
I was in the Dominicans somewhere and US is like, hey,

(01:23):
that's ours, and I'll give you the story behind it.
And they just jacked Jude Dude's jet and apparently he's
he's not pleased, which is weird because pretty much he
you know, keeps and then spends on really really fancy
stuff whatever he wants. So, yeah, we took the Venezuelan

(01:45):
dictator's jet. Now the reason is apparently the reason is
it was illegally acquired. That's I had to read two
articles too. They were this is the thing that kills me, Like,
that's the first question I have, and it's just buried
in the CNN piece and the eventually I found an

(02:08):
article that I think there's a little better job of
explaining it. And admittedly I don't necessarily still remember what
it uh, you know, what the law is there or
what exactly they're accusing him of, but basically he you know,
we have an embargo, and that embargo works two different ways.

(02:29):
The embargo works where you know, we we don't buy
stuff from them, and it's a lot toothier than that.
But also if you're a US company, you can't sell
big stuff to them. You know, there's there you can
sell food and medicine and stuff, and then they just

(02:51):
don't buy it out of spite, but you can't sell
stuff that could have a military purpose, and that includes
an airplane. Now it's not a military plane. It's uh,
you know, it's a rich dude's plane. Specifically, it's a
Dassalt Falcon owned and operated by Maduro, but not really.

(03:13):
I mean it's owned operated by Maduro, not even the
Venezuelan government. And basically they put a shell company together.
They did a bunch of stuff, bought the plane and
then you know, dude flies it around to do things
like I don't go to like the world's fanciest restaurants
and whatnot. Well, he took it a Dominican Republic for

(03:33):
whatever reason, and it needed some maintenance, so they left
it in Dominican and the US got wind of it
and they're like, that's ours. According to Mary Garland, the
plane was illegally purchased for thirteen million dollars through a
show company, So I guess it's probably not a real
nice one. I don't know. I'm not up on my

(03:55):
plane pricing, but so we saw it and they're just like, yeah,
we're gonna take that, and then we flew it to
Fort Lauderdale and then issued a press release. So there
you go. Do you think you try to get it
back like you know, like a gone in sixty second situation.

(04:16):
This is why we have to have it on a
base and this is why we got to buzz Caracas daily.
Maybe get a new paint job on it, stars and stripes,
just so he's looking up from the Presidential Palace or
whatever it is there and it looks like by jet. Yeah, absolutely,
that's what you get, sir. Uh. Anyway, I doesn't say

(04:39):
what they're gonna do with it. It also doesn't say
who sold it. I guess maybe they're not. Maybe because
it was a shell company and they went through great lengths.
I guess maybe whoever sold it is Yeah, here we
go allegedly used a Caribbean based shell company to can steal,

(04:59):
involved men in the purchase and purchased it and misrepresented
to a company in Florida. Okay, so there, I guess
they don't necessarily think that. So what happens does the
company give the thirteen milback or do they just not
go to Venezuela. Yeah, the plane which landed in the

(05:21):
Dominican a month ago was believed to be there for maintenance,
so they're probably doing big maintenance on it, but it
still flies. I guess they're still still investigating anyway. All right,
So there you go. That's my favorite story of the day.
You know what was interesting is I saw people on
there and they're like, well, the US A seizure, it's

(05:45):
a bunch of tyrants and all that stuff. I don't
I don't think so here. I think that they clearly
if that is true, it was. It wasn't just that
he bought a plane and then we stole it because
we could. It sounds like they went to great lengths
to do this, and that's what they're enforcing. So I

(06:06):
guess maybe he's just out the thirteen million, which is
roughly now was it dollars or was it venezuelan. It
was Venezuelan stuff. He's out like a buck fifty. I'm
not sure what the inflation is there, but it's pretty bad,
all right. Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four. I'm just saying we have a little fun
with it, but you know, I'm a jerk, So whatever,

(06:30):
Rose will get your jets seized over the weekend. You're good, Oh, okay, good.
So apparently it was it was just that dude, let's
see here all right, Oh my good, that story's fun.
And then Kamala was out telling the freedom story again
over the weekend like she's a fog horn leghorn. I'm

(06:53):
not exaggerating. You know, I had ignored it to this
point because we always get these must I ignored it.
I'm sure I mentioned it, but I didn't dwell on it. Right,
We always get these politicians where somebody notices that they
went to a rally. The rally happened to be I
don't know, below the Mason Dixon line, and they're not

(07:13):
from these parts, and they sure want to sound like
they are, or they you know, they go up to
Wisconsin or Minnesota and they sound like they're an extra
on Fargo. And then we laugh at at whatever is
that being said when it this might be the most

(07:35):
comical that I've heard in quite some day, more than Hillary.
And that's saying that Hillary cut Everyone references and still
makes fun of what is it, Ain't tired, Ain't none tired,
or something like that with Hillary, and he just said,
what are you doing? You live in New York. I
know you're from Arkansas, but you haven't spoken like that

(07:56):
in decades. Kamala Harris never from the South, grew up
with a couple of pH D parents, grew up for
some time in Canada, so I guess it was a
Canadian accent. I'd understand. But holy hell, what is this?

Speaker 3 (08:13):
You better thank a union member.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
One the five day work week.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
You better thank a union member for sick leave.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
You better thank a union member for paid leave.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
You better thank a union member.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
For vacation in time. What is that? I mean, she's
not cackling at least, so I don't know. I don't
know what. I prefer the weird laughter at weird moments
or whatever. Whatever that was. So, uh, anyway, coming up
on the show, let's see here, all right, well oh

(08:52):
yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, all right, we got to
get to the museum stuff. Oh and somebody sent me, dude, Roster.
You know, I got like five emails over the weekend
from people on that Dustborn game, like people who are
playing it and just found stuff in it. Dude, do
you know what's got a theme song? Oh all right,

(09:15):
well we may have to touch back on that, and
you all need to stop robing Chase. They're onto you.
I don't know what you do about it, but they're
on to you. So we'll get to that and so
much more. It's Tuesday at six sixteen. Hang on taking
Maduro's jet that he created a fake company to go
ahead and buy. And why wouldn't you for that dude,

(09:38):
for that piece of garbage who somehow won his last election.
And you know what I mean. Granted we got his
jet there, but like I feel like he'll pay less
consequence I mean, other than the jet, but he probably
has another. He'll pay less consequences than all you idiots
trying to build Chase Bank over the weekend. What the

(10:03):
fact that we now run scams as TikTok challenges? This
is every day you find something And I still don't
fully understand this. But I also don't have Chase Bank.
But apparently I don't even know if this is a glitch.
It sounds like this would be something functional within the system.
So that's the part I don't understand. But basically, people

(10:27):
were on social media bragging about using their own names
to scam a bank with checks that they wrote with
their name on it to themselves. How do you think
that's going to go. I mean maybe if you live
in California and you just alluded to Walgreens, you probably

(10:48):
feel like it'll be fine so you don't suffer any consequences.
So I still don't get this. All right, So here
we go. A glitch and Chase bank system allowed people
to withdraw funds they weren't entitled to, prompting the bank
to place a seven day hold unaffected accounts. Well, here's
the thing. There's probably a lot of people can't get

(11:08):
access to money who didn't do anything. They just happened
to de positive check and then attempt to do a
withdraw even if they I guess they weren't doing anything illegal.
Right From Newsweek, the glitch allowed people to withdraw large
amounts of money from their accounts based on fake checks. Really,
this just sounds like the way people get scammed on eBay. Right,

(11:32):
somebody contacts you. How many of you have had somebody
contact you and you've had something for sale on Craigslist
or eBay or the fate his Facebook marketplace or whatever
it is. And they're like I in bad English, like
I want this, I send you check, and I'm just like, yeah,
you do I'm I can't meet. I'm a doctor's without

(11:55):
borders and I'm on assignment in Africa. It's literally what
I got told when I was selling something. I'm just like, well,
you got to come over. Oh no, I'll send you
a check. And then I never got to that point
with me. But every one of the stories I've seen,
basically they send you a check and it's for like,

(12:15):
so if you agree on five hundred dollars, it's for
five thousand because they don't understand how zero's work. And
I'm like, oh my gosh. And then they want you
to deposit it and then either mail them with gift
cards or do a money transfer for forty five hundred,
and people do it. People do it. I just be like, dude,
you need to get better with checks. Let this be

(12:36):
a lesson. And then if it doesn't clear whatever, just
don't spend it. According to and then so people went
on like TikTok bragging about this. According to social media users,
people exploited a system there to withdraw money after depositing
fake checks, and so they would deposit the check the

(13:00):
check and even though it's it seems like chase kind
of works, like my bank where if you deposit a
big check, initially my bank will allow it depends how
much money you have in your account. But if you
put a big check in my bank, does it where
you can have access immediately to like two hundred and

(13:20):
then you got to wait for the next day and
then you know the rest post your account, although if
you have enough money in there. General, I've noticed I
haven't dealt with a check in so long, especially a
big one. It it just shows up. So Chase has
a feature for these next day loans, and so again

(13:44):
I don't fully understand it. I don't know Chase's system,
but people are just like, yeah, so here's what you do.
How do you think your banking is going to go
from here on out? Ross you ever bounce a check
back when we still use checks? Oh?

Speaker 5 (13:58):
Sure did?

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah? Yeah? I remember the first time I bounced a check.
I was in height.

Speaker 5 (14:02):
It was because of like criminal stuff. Was poverty?

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Yeah, no, no, I wrote I wrote a check and
I can't remember. I can't remember what it was for.
It was a few hundred dollars, it's uh, something I
was buying and I wrote the check. And I was
just young and stupid, and I like I didn't look
to see if the check cleared, and I thought they

(14:28):
I thought that they were going to come arrest me
because I'm just like, oh my gosh, a few hundred
dollars and I had to go to the bank.

Speaker 5 (14:34):
It was a local bank first. And I mean this
was also like forever ago before everything is online. Yes, yeah,
like before before the smartphones and the apps, where you
actually had to have a check book and figure out
how much you had on your account. Yes, yep, absolutely,
and I kind of probably knew, but I was just dumb.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Oh that's what I remember. I remember exactly what I
bought or exactly what I bought, because I literally when
the check bounced, I literally found the do that I
had bought it from, apologized profusely, and gave him money
about a week later, like that whole thing. So one
was the Chase thing. I don't know, enjoy your enjoy
your payday loan future, because I suspect they're going to

(15:15):
cancel your account and they talk to each other. I
don't understand that one. And I can't figure out what
the world is stupid museums whining about are you ready
for this? Where is this? Manchester Okay, so it's in
the UK. They got a museum, and you know it's

(15:38):
got museum stuff, isn't it. This one is uh nature museum,
so it's got stuff critters. Man, what do you got?
That's what you go there for. You go and you
want to see some live stuff. You want to see
some stuff that's taxi dirmied, you want to read about it,
you want to learn about it, maybe see some stuff
that in some cases doesn't exist anymore. In the museum

(16:01):
there in Chicago that I went to, they have literally
like they have a dodo and they have some other
stuff and when you look and when you see one,
you're like, that doesn't look that delicious. But whatever, that's
the thing that happened. And then you walk out of there.
It's simple. But even this simple thing, they couldn't friggin

(16:24):
help themselves. They couldn't help themselves.

Speaker 6 (16:27):
Brat summer is nearly over. Are you ready for taxidermy autumn?

Speaker 1 (16:33):
This is real. They're doing brat summer and you can't.
I thought that was a common And by the way,
I haven't even heard anyone mention brat summer or coconuts
for weeks. Anyway, I'm sorry go ahead, lunatic brat.

Speaker 6 (16:48):
Summer is nearly over. Are you ready for taxidermy autumn?

Speaker 1 (16:53):
I mean yeah, if you hunt, y'are how many of
you are super excited about taxidermy autumn? Dude? Did you
guys see that buck they killed up in Richmond? This
ridiculous non typical And that's the important thing. It's a
non typical, so people know it, and it just happens

(17:15):
to be a friendly deer that lives in the cemetery
up there. Yeah, I guess some guy went in there
with the black powder and captives so he can't hunt
for like ever again. But that's another dumb thing if
you go kill a big non tip. I don't get
me wrong. I'm sure some of you right now know
where a big, big old buck is living inside city limits,

(17:39):
or you see him on your way to work and
he happens to be in the you know, on a lot,
well you know it's private property, or maybe even in
a park, but you don't shoot it, and you sure
don't submit it for the big buck contest in Virginia,
which is what they did, so that unraveled rather quickly.
But yes, if you're in a hunting you're also into
taxidermy season. So you haven't lost me yet, go ahead.

Speaker 6 (18:02):
This is some of the most taxidermy coded trends.

Speaker 7 (18:05):
Suspicious squirrel, cheek, jaded toad, goblin mood, demure beaver, treadwife,
hunted fish, vibes, checking bonfires for hedgehog's core, fox in
a box, girl boss, emo, goth badger, glow up, eclectic platypus,
riz angry panda, wave monkey with the brown teeth esthetic.

Speaker 6 (18:30):
Charlie Xcox. Give the people what they want, more taxidermy
in pup now.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
All right, So at this point it's just stupid, right,
all right, So they're going with the ribs and the
trad white you know, they're trying to use the phrases.
But I assure you there's more at work here. Ah
Manchester's Museum of Critters. I guess is UH is having

(19:00):
a reckoning. See here's the problem Nick talked about, Nick,
who is the focus of this article, who, by the way,
goes by they thems has a problem, and that is
that And let me read this quote. It is problematic

(19:21):
that Nature Museum displays were categorized by cis hetro Victorian
white men, which a lot of it did come out
of UK, right, because you know they're basically the sun
never sets on the empire there. And it's not that
they were the first to see these creatures, but they're
going to you know, places in Africa and the Americas.

(19:42):
And you know that was a thing you did in
the eat, especially in the eighteen hundreds. Have you seen
Lost City of z Is that what they call it?
Well that's a real dude. And him and his son
would go and they were trying to find, you know,
the city of Gold or whatever up in the rainforest,
and eventually I found a tribe. It's like, yeah, we're
gonna murder you now, but that's what they were there for.

(20:05):
They were looking for all sorts of creatures. So while
that is true that it was kep, but my question
is considering we have a standardized system for categoring creatures, right,
which I never I that was one thing in science,
Like I never got that right, right, But you got
genus species all this. If it's if it's a lesbian

(20:27):
who finds it, is it categorized different? It's just stupid.
But there's another problem. Most of the displays are male specimens.
So they went through and they counted all the creatures
in there that are physically on display, and they point
out that there is more male creatures than female creatures

(20:49):
taxidermy and on display in these nature museums. And that,
my friends, that is problematic or it makes perfect sense
now Raw and I haven't talked about this before. He
did dub the audio in obviously ross. Why would you
think that they would have a larger amount of male

(21:09):
species on display, especially birds, because that's the thing the
article focuses on, especially birds. Why do you think a
museum would want a male species taxidermat and for everyone
to see versus a female species, especially birds? And I
want to a little hint, think about a peacock. Have

(21:29):
you seen a female peacock? No, you have, but you
didn't care. You know why because you want that big
old fan thing.

Speaker 5 (21:40):
So you want like the more badass looking animal.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (21:42):
Yes, So it's sort of like a lion, right when
you think of a lion exact the big main.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
This is what I'm saying. That's how when you go
and you're like, all right, we got to put some
on display. You know a lot of times you have
one of each, But dude, you got some bird with
nine thousand colors, or you got some lazy gray? Which
one do you? Which one of people want to see
at the museum. They want to see fantail man, they
want to see the color. And you know what in
actually it's empowerment. You women were so picky. You women

(22:15):
were so off putting, well not you, the birds, some
of you that they the men literally had to evolve
to look more badass. So you quit friend zone in
them or whatever. Oh, everything's dumb. Yeah, three day weekend

(22:35):
and we and we're right back into this.

Speaker 8 (22:37):
Hi, my name's Nick. I used day then pronouns and
today we're finding pride in our collection. So you can
see behind me. You've got a lot of birds, a
lot of taxidonic birds. And so during the Victorian period
was when a lot of these birds were taxidony. The
Victorian period was really run by sis straight white man.
And it's very clear that perceptions that shown in beers.

(23:01):
So the woman was usually seeing us quite submissive. That's
why she's seen us lower down. The man was seen
as very dominant, so that's why he was positioned higher up.
And then having the children.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Is oh, and that's the other dumb thing too, when
if you see a display with two of the birds.
Apparently they're at a different elevation. I guess I've never noticed.
But again, I'm sorry they damn nick, I didn't mean
to cut you off.

Speaker 8 (23:24):
Go ahead by solidifying that nucleus family.

Speaker 9 (23:26):
That was a big thing, but that but no, no, no, no, no no,
it's still a big thing, right, the nuclear it's still
a big thing because again we're not talking about humans here,
talking about critters.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
It's still a thing. Not always right, there's some you
know where it's but especially when you you know, when
the species are actually mating, it's pretty much done in
the same way.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
It's just like the gay penguin thing all over again.
But yeah, I was totally gonna get yeah, but on
like a museum scale.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
Yeah, and the works that these are dead, these are
so you can't even like, ah, who's he going to
go try to have sex with? Oh, no, you can't.
It's a stuffed thing. Dude. You guys are so out
of things to complain about. They didn't categorize them because
they themselves were just white males. You're the ones who
started bringing up that beaver really is into other male dude, beavers,

(24:25):
how do you know, I don't know, been down one
hundred years and the stuff, but I just I just
decided that's the case.

Speaker 8 (24:34):
That's very interesting as well is that when we actually
look at the collection that we have, about eighty percent
of the animals and insects are male. Yes, so even
when we're looking around the museum, most of this is
a proportional to what we see day to day. The
reason that people would collect the male species was because
a lot of the time they were brighter, they were bolder. Yes,
most of the males will have to try and attract

(24:56):
a mate. Yeah, they had very bright plumas and things
like that.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah, and they didn't have tender or grinder I guess whichever.
They didn't have that for your pets and other creatures.
So yeah, that's that's how Oh wait, I'm sorry, that's
still how it's done. So this dude's got to get
all gussied up. He's got to go walk and scream
at the females for a while and then maybe, just
maybe one of them will hook up with him. It's

(25:22):
it's it's literally a single spar. So what do you
I'm sorry, what is the problem the.

Speaker 8 (25:29):
Female to them? But this means that we've actually lost
out on a lot of history where we don't have
as many female representations of this species. We actually have
these orange tipped butterflies. So these butterflies we have to
intersects variants of them as well, so it shows both
male and female attributes to them, which I think is

(25:51):
really interesting and it's kind of comes to question why
we don't have all of these things on show. I
think with our values as imagination, care and inclusion, it's
important to start looking at all of these stories and
seeing that there are so many that as hidden. Let's
try and look through what we have here at the
museum and find these stories because they are here.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Okay, all right, and look sometimes you do have them.
I'm trying to. I'm trying. I'm turned ameer. The last
time I was in the museum in Raleigh here, I
never noticed. I never noticed at the at the museum downtown.

(26:32):
But I'm sure somebody could go in there and count
it up. So, Graham, this is over in the UK.
So what are they doing about it? Well, you heard
it with the first cut. They're gonna make it all
hip demure beaver tradwife. Yeah, you know why they're tradwives
because it's pretty universal how beavers live. And by the way,
you're really aggressive with you too. And they're a big

(26:53):
problem if you own property and you're doing irrigation or
trying to run water and you live in an insane state.
If you live in Wyoming, you just go bust that
thing up. But if you live in like Michigan or whatever, like, dude,
there's a dude in jail for blowing up a beaver
dam like this year jail time. I think it was
more for the explosives, but whatever. So yeah, yeah, it is.

(27:16):
It is a tradwife thing because they live in these
you know, they live in their little little area. It's
gotta have a certain water level.

Speaker 5 (27:23):
They'll leave.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
I can tell you firsthand. They don't mix it up much, right,
it's not it's not a creator's house right where you
got like eight eight obnoxious? Uh you know YouTubers living
in a house together. It's just there's there's what they
live in. Here's who they're hooking up with. But so

(27:45):
I I guess they're going to go through and uh,
correct that. How are you gonna do that? This is
this is where I started laughing because this is this
is my final thought on it. But this is the
thing listening to that audio, so that I realized nobody
asked Nick. So, if you feel that your museum in

(28:06):
Manchester in London, probably all of them, right, if you
feel that they don't have enough female creatures on display,
how do you solve that? You gotta go murder a
bunch of female creatures. Literally, the only way to satisfy
you is to either take down enough male creatures to

(28:26):
make this person happy, or to literally start running around
the world genociding stuff so you can even the count there.
And I have a feeling if you said, hey, Nick,
thanks for bringing this to our attention. All right, we're
gonna go to and that you know wherever it is,
and we got our guys are gonna go kill a
bunch of them, so you're gonna get your way. I

(28:49):
feel like Nick would have a problem with that. But
Nick didn't think this through. By the way, By the way,
do you know what Nick's organization is called? Lives Matter?
Not black lives, not white lives, not everyone's lives, just

(29:11):
lives matter, which is kind of like all lives matter,
which I seem to remember is how you get canceled
and kicked out of schools. So first world problems, man,
which will now cause us to have to go the
third world and start murdering stuff six forty nine, Hang on,
no other than Kamala getting her her southern drawl on?

(29:33):
Is it feels like there's more coverage of walls is
as strange as that's and it likely is the case.
He's specific like he speaking more, but like the amount
of stories getting churned out about the Minnesota governor more
so than even Harris, And I guess maybe because he's
newer to it or and there's a conspiracy, they realize

(29:57):
that's probably a lot better thing to focus on him speaking,
because well, he says insane stuff like I'm going to
create a phone lines you can tattle on your neighbors,
but I'm all about minding your own business. Yeah, that's
that's irritate. But he says it like a standard politician

(30:18):
with a little bit of a Minnesota accent. Right, It's
it's not new bs, it's traditional bs. Uh. Anyway, we'll
get into what some of those stories look like real quick, Bob.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
That's so I was listening to the ladies go around
and complaining about the uh uh too many male birds
and the zoo, I guess, or the aviary.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Uh, that would be they them, that would be they them, Nick. Yes,
go ahead, I mean.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Uh, I guess I guess. The way they get of
it that they go into nature and capture them and
then put them in the aviary or or what you
might call prison. And if you do find that they're
a lot more male than prison than female.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Well that is fair. But in these cases they aren't
even live critters. They're dead. So we got to know.
Here's the thing. If Nick comes in the museum, they
them Nick comes in and goes, why are there more males?
You tell they them Nick, that they identify as they them,
and then let Nick explain their way out of that.
This is just it was yeah, yeah, yeah, So I'm

(31:26):
with you on both accounts. So my thanks for the caller, Bob.
Some reason I thought of one thirty t time'd be
a good idea. It was not, but it's still better
than you know, ninety percent of the other stuff you
could fill your time with, even if you do lose
damn near two sleeves of top flights. But that's okay.

(31:46):
Shot in ninety two, I'm kind of I'm not not repleased.
So yeah, hopefully it did something fun over the weekend,
because now it's that grind, that little mini grind, right,
you know how many real holidays until you get into
the holidays holidays and it's an election year, so you
just you're just gonna get a beat with it over
the head for the next few months. Uh and uh.

(32:07):
And the stories. I have noticed this trend that there
seems to be an inordinate amount of Tim Walls coverage
and not just hey, Tim Walls went here and Tim
Walls said this, like you know, they're the types of
stories that they have to like concoct to be a
little different, so they start finding little nuggets of stuff.

(32:29):
So like, you know, an actual story is the the
accident that happened with the Tim Walls caravan. Now it
wasn't his vehicle, it was apparently the reporter vehicle, which

(32:50):
I've actually been in this uh in this vehicle for
a presidential rally. So basically, if you're one of the
licensed pool and they're going to be doing several things,
so if if if Trump was if Trump's coming to
North Carolina, or if Kamala or whatever is coming to
North Carolina. And or if the president you see this

(33:12):
more with the president, the sitting president, they will give
you for credentialing. Uh, they will give you like the
three things they're doing there. And you have an option
to literally show up at the airport and they will
handle your transit too, just to keep everybody together. So
if you're one of the if you're going to be
in the pool and and you go to the airport

(33:34):
and you're covering oh look, Air Force one landed, and
you know, you get those photos and then you photoshop
in a bunch of people and and and then at
the next thing, if it's a public event, they literally
have vehicles and they'll stuff all the reporters who hate
each other into an suv or a van usually, And
that's the thing that wrecked. Let's see here, the motorcade

(33:57):
for vice presidential nominee Tim Walls crashed and route to
an event, leaving one person moderately injured. You know, I
didn't look to see who the reporter was, and I
don't think it's in this story. So anyway, the vehicle
crashed was a press poll van that was following the
Minnesota Democrat governor now DFL governor. Now see, you guys
should do your research. You'd call it. Go to Minnesota

(34:20):
and call it a dfler, a Democrat, and they'll lecture you. Well,
actually we're for farmers and union and blah blah blahlah
is why we call ourselves the dfl whatever. Several cars
in the Walls motorcade crashed just before one o'clock. M Yeah,
so this is actually from the print journal pool. So

(34:42):
one of the news New York Times, Washington posts this
is not the person injured. Let's see here, lost almost
two sleeves of balls. And you want us to believe
you shot a ninety two. Yes, because I had a
nine on a hole, sir, three balls on it. I
went a little tin cup at the turn. So but

(35:06):
I did have three birdies. I don't. Yeah, it was
a weird day. Normally, I'm normally ninety two is not
a bad scory. It was the way I got a
bout to it. So anyway, got golfers calling me out.
You want you know what, I have a six handicapser.
It wasn't eight, but now it's a six. If it
worked for Biden, it works for me anyway. No, I
have a index is fourteen six. They're fourteen seven or so.

(35:29):
I don't have it loaded right now, but for you golfers,
that's the number you want to hear. There is anyway,
so walls wallspool van crashes just for one and the
pull A reporter put out a little report said one
of their staffers was injured. So I guess it's not
necessarily maybe it's the faux tag or something anyway, moderate injuries.

(35:51):
But yeah, so you know you cover that. That's one thing.
It's the rest of the stories that start getting ridiculous.
Here's where the Minnesota Star Tribute and they love Tim
Woles and they are that newspaper is chock full of moonbats.
It was that WCCO TV is was the wr L

(36:15):
that I always complained about of Minneapolis. In fact, we
called him WDFL on the air. See that's how you
make the DFL thing work for you. And uh and
then the Minneapolis Star Tribune would just blow them all
out of the water. They have been even more so
than any newspaper in North Carolina that I yes, even
the McClatchy papers, Star Tribune is they're gone. This is

(36:38):
their feature piece. Tim Wolls, governor and gamer once owned
a Sega Dreamcast. Here's what happened to it. I'm not
gonna tell you. I'm not gonna share it. It's the
You go read the article if you want. The Democratic
vice presidential candidate may have played the system's chaotic driving
game Crazy Taxi. M you ever played Crazy tax Ross?

(37:06):
You ever played Crazy Taxi? Do you have a sag
Ross every video game?

Speaker 10 (37:10):
So?

Speaker 1 (37:10):
You own a Sega Dreamcast, don't you? Collection?

Speaker 5 (37:13):
I couldn't afford the Dreamcast as a kid, or the GameCube.
We had the game Cast.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
You're the game Cast? Okay, well I didn't know, but
now you had. Ross has a lot or have you
gotten rid of them? Ross has a stupid I remember.

Speaker 5 (37:26):
Good a bunch of row.

Speaker 1 (37:28):
I don't know you. I don't know why you took
that picture. I don't know, but Ross, I saw you
post a picture one time of what looked like a
game stop on your kitchen table of and I'm like, what, like,
what do you? They just sit there like a Star
Wars collector in a glass case. I don't even know
what you do?

Speaker 7 (37:47):
Do you?

Speaker 5 (37:47):
Actually they're they're they're sort of you know, everybody has
that like box full of cables. You're never going to
use again. Yeah, it's similar, but on top of all
the cables, there are also video game consoles.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
And and and let's let's be honest.

Speaker 5 (38:01):
That you're never going to play again.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
Well, and here's why it's kind of underwhelming, now, right.

Speaker 5 (38:07):
It Well, it is and because even before you had
these like emulators, and you had like the mini s,
you know, nes and stuff and that they sold, you
would plug in these old systems and you have this
nostalgia of how amazing a game was. Yeah, and you'd
go play it and it would be amazing for about
five minutes. And after five minutes you're like, man, how
did I ever play this? This sucks? I'm going back

(38:29):
to my modern game.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (38:30):
I can only go left to right. It's not an
open world, no, thank you. The very few games hold up.
Very few games too. Super Mario Brothers three holds up, Legend,
Selda holds up, Punch Out holds up. I'll play some
contract right. The majority of the games Techmo super Bowl
really holds up. I enjoy that, But the vast majority
of games do not hold up.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
Yeah, what was well? I'm trying to think of the
one I played for any s that was on an emulator.
It was at a bar, and they had like an
any they had one of the systems, but it had
like that's the other crazy thing, right, they have a
little like a little room. It's not it's a restaurant,
but it's a bar restaurant, and they have like a
game room still and you just don't see that, but
they have one that has like a thousand games in it.

Speaker 5 (39:13):
Yeah, and you go through very quickly. You're like, oh,
I remember this games. Game's awesome. And you play it
for literally five minutes and you're like, that's let me
try a different on. Oh, this one is awesome, And
you play for five minutes, you're like dun and you
just go through the entire catalog like that in like
thirty minutes.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
So and you know what, I remember exactly why I
played this game because we had mentioned it on the air.
So I get on there and I'm flipping through and
one of the first titles I see is Excite Bike,
and I wanted to see if those walls were really
as flat as I remembered them as being right where
you'd you know, you put ramps, and then there was

(39:49):
just one ramp that was not a ramp. It was
like a border wall and you'd have to get your
bike and then your bike would overheat, and I want
to say, within thirty seconds and went, yeah, that's stupid too.
My bike overheated. I'm out overheats all the time. Yeah,
the majority of the game is spent with your bike
being overheated. Yet was your pit crew, what are you doing?
Get an intercool or something?

Speaker 5 (40:09):
I mean what it was?

Speaker 1 (40:10):
This? This top level motorcycle racing and you have temperature issues.
So anyway, now thirty seconds, I was bored and annoyed.
Actually so, but here's why I mentioned Crazy Taxi. So
Crazy Taxi had a thing in it where you pick
up a person of color and they would want to

(40:37):
go to KFC every time. Now you have to understand
why they had it was like it was a marketing
deal with young brands with on KFC Pizza, Hot Taco Bell,
Wait what do you what do you what are you
laughing about?

Speaker 5 (40:57):
Huh?

Speaker 1 (40:59):
But they just said they went, it's some food.

Speaker 5 (41:00):
It's I mean, that's smarter there, and this is in
game advertising.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
Yeah yeah yeah, but every time that was the thing.
So I so like you think this is nostalgic if
that was Donald Trump playing Crazy Taxi or mentioning Crazy Taxi,
or knowing that it existed, this this article would it
would be so different. And that put me down a

(41:24):
rabbit hole this weekend because I was I was reading
about this on Twitter, I post I posted something on
Twitter about it, and then like I saw people putting
links under it about like stuff in old video games. Look,
not every time somebody claims that this old thing has
racism or something in it, it doesn't, right, that's the thing.

(41:48):
And somebody, somebody was documenting that the Backyard Sports Super
Nintendo there was a fighting game where they had a
black fighter and I'm not even gonna stay on the air,
what is move was not even gonna say it, and
a bunch of others, so my point being, my point,

(42:11):
my point being that like it's it's out there. People
are perfectly aware of it. And so this reporter I'm
assuming would have to google Crazy Taxi to get some
info about it to talk about it. And you didn't
see any of that, Lewis Krause, Oh is that who that?

(42:32):
Oh that's even a reporter who I remember? All right,
well that actually explained some stuff there, But yeah, yeah,
they that was a thing in that game. It was
a very unfortunate marketing choice. And uh yeah, I think

(42:54):
that's long been canceled. I don't know that I've ever
played a Sega Dreamcast, so I don't know all the
game sport all right, eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four. Let's see. Oh when Walls said
something over the weekend, Well, let me do this. Let's
go ahead, and let's go ahead and take a break
and we'll come back in just a few Hang on,
that's okay. Let me just call this bad way up.

(43:17):
Dern's got a little little issue the schools, and I
can kind of relate. All right, here we go, here
we go. All right, so we'll get to that when
I finish up the Walls thing. He huh, all right,
So so anyway, so what do we know? He's a

(43:37):
he's a gamer man, he's a gamer. You know what.
Any politician, in fact, I think this should be the
law of the land. Any politician who gets up at
a rally or in an interview starts talking about, you know,
how young and hip and these things they do, and
starts bragging their a gamer, they should immediately turn the

(43:59):
game on and I want to see. I want I
want to I want to see, right, because you can
tell when somebody actually plays a game versus button mashing.
I don't believe you. And as as little impact as
that actually has, it's just one. I don't believe you're
a gamer. I don't think you sit down for some

(44:20):
I don't even call myself a gamer, and I actually
do play sometimes. Ross is a gamer, right, so not
but Tim Walls is not. And I want to, especially
because he's bragging about crazy Taxi. I want to see
that uncomfortable moment where he doesn't know the KFC thing
and he's sitting there with the reporter standing around. One

(44:42):
dude's got his arm in a sling because nobody can
drive and anyway, and they turn that on and it's
just video of Tim Walls picking up black dudes and
taking him to KFC and how uncomfortable that would be.
But again, nobody listens to me. They did check something else,
he said, though, and that was his origin story. You know,

(45:05):
what do we know about Tim Walls? Via Tim Walls,
He felt a calling and it wasn't to actually go
through the process of securing the rank that he would
then go on to use for years. It was he
felt a calling one day and that his service would
be best utilized in the halls of Congress. And I've

(45:26):
told you, you know, he was one of the first
congressional campaigns that I have recovered. He might have been
the first because I really wasn't doing the reporting stuff
until I got to Minnesota and he unseated a Republican
in a very red district. But he did it because
he was just he displayed himself as a moderate. Now

(45:47):
we know that's not the case. But they ran some
other stories and that's why I kind of collected them all.
And his his origin story is as he tells it,
slightly different according to then. According to Walls, he was

(46:10):
then a high school geography teacher in Minnesota because again
he was in the Army National Guard, so you know,
he's still working. And he alleged that what motivated him
to run for Congress was an incident at a George W.
Bush re election campaign event. And again that was the
first presidential campaign that I covered too, and were Minnesota

(46:35):
was considered kind of a swing state then, so we
were getting these crazy interviews, like crazy interviews anyone you want, boo,
you want Carl Row here he is, Giuliani here he is.
How did it start under It wasn't the journalists to
initially start to unraveling. It was literally the students in
question who started tweeting about it. All right, So the
story again that Walls was telling, and he's told this before,

(46:58):
kind of because somebody found some video of him back
when he was a member of Congress saying this, although
it's slightly different than what he said the other day.
But basically the story was, he's a geography teacher. He
teaches in Mancato, I think he's out of Mankato, and
two of his students tried to go to a Bush
event and they were quote turned away because one of

(47:22):
them had a John Kerrey sticker on his wallet. And Walls,
who was quote not political at that point, was so
outraged he started a campaign recruited the TV to shame
the Republicans there in Minnesota for doing this. And so
that's the way he explained it. Except the students in question,

(47:47):
who are Tim Walls guys, I just want to point
this out. Whether they didn't have a carry sticker. The
two students are Democrats and they weren't Republicans. They were
literally part of the school's demo Craig club, and they
went to Gestavis Adolphus, which is a small university in Minnesota,
and they were literally like one of them was the

(48:10):
vice chair of the College Democrats and they worked for
Walls's campaign. This was prior to him running. But here's
the problem. So the students had question, who again, are
not students now? This is two thousand and four or five,
and you know, they started tweeting and it didn't match up.

(48:35):
And then thankfully, let's see here. I try to remember
this dude's name, one of the guys who was the
lead for the Bush campaign reelection in Minnesota. I'm sure
I've talked to this dude. He might have been the
one who was pitching interviews. I don't remember him. He

(48:58):
commented on this thing too, because there's a lot more
to this, a lot more to this, like, first and foremost,
when the event had been announced in man Cato, the
Bush was coming to Mankato, so it was Mankato, Yeah,
the Bush was coming to do this event. Walls picketed

(49:19):
the ticket office prior to the student stuff, but potentially happening.
So in you know, usually you get about what a
week week and a half usually when they announced something's
and so Walls went down there with a bullhorn and
was picketing the event. So don't tell me that's not
a political dude. And not even the event. He was
picketing the ticket office for the event. I'm assuming it

(49:43):
was probably at Mankato State's the field house there, So no,
that doesn't hold up. Secondly, it was not a John
Carey sticker. The two in question had been flagged by
the Secret Service because they showed up to the ticket
office and we're saying a bunch of stuff that was

(50:04):
the Secret Service members on the day of Secret Service
members felt could have been a threat. Now, whether it
was or wasn't, I don't know. I guess they then investigated,
and they have records of this because there's they wrote
articles about it. They investigated. It was not the Bush campaign,
it was Secret Service, and after investigating, they determined that

(50:26):
they they are not a threat. And the Bush campaign
literally went out of their way to get them tickets
for the next event and ticketed them in and it
was and they were. The Wall story was not out
there yet. Wall's thing was separate than of these kids,
So he's like injected himself into this. He was already

(50:46):
out there picketing, some would say, and some of you
that work in politics right now you're you're screaming at
your radio because you're like, that's obviously a setup. I
don't know if you know this. A lot of these
things are a lot. It's it's why you hire dudes
with tiki torches to show up to a a youngkin rally. Okay,

(51:08):
this is what they do. Why because at any of
these events there are a bunch of people from the
opposite side that they call him trackers. There's another name
for him where they just film everything right whatever the
politician's saying, whatever, people who might be you know, whole
power within a party are doing. It's how you get

(51:29):
a lot of viral moments. Who was the speaking of
Virginia governors? Who is the Virginia governor? Who what he
called the dude with a camera, some very ethnic name
and it literally derectd Maybe he wasn't It wasn't governor.
I think maybe he was senator and he used a
he used a very ethnic name and was pointing out

(51:49):
the dude who just follows him around in films for
his opponent the go to. Anytime you go to an event,
even with a state white politician, chances are somebody from
the opposite camp pain or the party is filming that
and they're but they're also filming what you might be saying, right,
so that they can have a viral story. You know
how many times you've seen stories where it's it's not

(52:10):
about the politician, it's about supporters. That's theirs, that's they
love that man. And sometimes they'll just set stuff up. Oh,
look at these these these guys, and then you know,
it gives you the vibes of that picture that's still
viral of the the you know, the perfectly acceptably fit

(52:33):
law enforcement haircut dudes all wearing the same uh khaki
shorts and shirts at the rally that everyone just uses
as the meme for Feds.

Speaker 5 (52:47):
That's the kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
That's the kind of stuff I'm talking about. Let's see here.
According to uh let's see here. Yeah. According to the report,
Bush campaign staffers told them when the media first came
calling that Claver and Burkhart, that's their names have been
flagged as threats to cause a disruption by the Secret Service,

(53:10):
and they couldn't go in. I think probably because they
had I don't know, maybe they had been there protesting
with wolves. It's not clear how they got on there,
but it does say that they said a list of
derogatory and or threatening things outside of the event to
some of the other folks and then tried to come in.

(53:31):
What all is I don't know, but if you're out
there screaming at people coming in there and then they
don't let you in, you can't be surprised. Despite later
claiming the snub by the Bush campaign helped him spontaneously
decide to throw his hat in the ring with Carrie
and become a campaign aid, which the Walls did. He
was working with the Kerry campaign. Let's see. Oh, the

(53:54):
other thing is it was the families of the two
who asked wolves to go there. Everyone's sending me with
the guy with that guy in Virginia said, I don't
think that's it. I think he said something else. Plus
I can't read that aloud. But if that happened too,
this is what I'm talking about. Yeah, these these dudes

(54:15):
are just following around. It's fun to try to spot
him too. I mean, if you see him, who cares
and I promise you the campaigns know who's following him around.
So but yeah, just just keep in mind that that's
the thing that happens, all right, coming up on the show,
we got everyone's losing their mind over w n v A,

(54:36):
m v p A. At least they're talking about it.
At least they're talking about it. And how dare Caitlin
Clark get more people apparently supporting her than Angel Reese?
And I had to watch. I had to watch, you know,
on scrolling the Twitter. I had to watch, like Cheryl
Swoops and uh, just a few of the players you

(54:57):
may have heard of who are now just commentators and stuff.
Absolutely po man, absolutely p O. In fact, the only
person who was making sense was I saw a post
by RG three and normally he's on board with everything's
racist kind of stuff. He's just like, you all need
to shut up. And the argument was, the reason that
it is that Angel Reese shouldn't get it is because

(55:21):
the only thing that people were proffering is that she's
on track to set a record for rebounds in the
w NBA. Do any of you know why she might
be on track to set a record for rebounds in
the w NBA, because I mean, don't get me wrong,
it is a tracked, skilled thing, and it's how you

(55:43):
get a double double or a triple double if you
want to. You know, you get assists, rebounds and then
points scored. And obviously there's been a lot of rebounding greats.
The difference is, and you've probably seen this clip, five
of those rebounds are hers per possession, because nobody can
make a damn basket. Do you see the video of

(56:05):
her in there throwing it up four times and one
of her teammates to stand on the three point line,
and there isn't another player within the area code for
her teammate, and she just went two, three, four, five,
and and her play the other player's stand on three point?
What are you doing?

Speaker 10 (56:23):
Well?

Speaker 1 (56:23):
She just got five rebounds there, So yeah, people are
very very mad. So that's that continues to go well,
and of course nobody will admit the only reason I'm
mentioning it, and then it's it's it's all up on
the timeline and people are talking about it is not
because Angel Reese came into the league. It's because she's

(56:45):
the villain or the hero, depend on which side you
are to Caitlin Clark, Right, she's the arch nemesis. That's
what that's the story of the media is built. And
of course then you have to inject the h the
politics and uh because it looks like she might be Republican.
Our boyfriend is and you know, and and all of
the racism stuff. So all right, let's see here rased

(57:10):
Agic from the weather cham if he's standing by.

Speaker 4 (57:13):
Yeah, you couldn't wait, could you?

Speaker 1 (57:15):
I am so excited I could be.

Speaker 4 (57:16):
A Florida State fan. Though?

Speaker 1 (57:20):
Did you you here? Did you hear Roddy White's analysis
on white Clemson did not even cover the fourteen and a.

Speaker 4 (57:26):
Half hours, No, I didn't.

Speaker 1 (57:28):
And then it was down to eleven a game time.
I'm glad I didn't touch that. Yeah, yes, Roddy White,
there's too many white dudes on the field.

Speaker 4 (57:38):
Yeah yeah, yeah, that was him.

Speaker 1 (57:39):
No, yeah, so just.

Speaker 11 (57:42):
One comment and it's overall like I think that you're
you're probably in the same boat as I am, where
when you can watch players play and teams play and
go back and watch it. Because I started watching it
again at home for some reason, I wanted to poll
cot sticks in my eye and.

Speaker 1 (57:59):
Just say, like, I'll watch the whole mess, and I was, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 11 (58:05):
Like, why are can't coaches see that? The first thing
I know it's on the first series, Like one of
the first series on defense, is why is Barrett Carter
out on the outside covering a wide receiver on a
pass play?

Speaker 4 (58:18):
Mike, he's an inside linebacker. I mean, there should be
some kind of.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
Switch trickery stuff that these coaches.

Speaker 4 (58:23):
It's a bunch of garbage.

Speaker 1 (58:25):
Score a touchdown and then it works once and they're like,
I'm a genius.

Speaker 4 (58:28):
So listen.

Speaker 11 (58:29):
You can love or you can hate the run pass
option thing. I think it's crap because the offense looks
and it's such as thorough. It's I just think some
of these offense lists you're perfect at it looks so
slow and slow to develop that I just.

Speaker 1 (58:43):
Honestly, in my good night one of the guys who
was I was watching this with we're all sitting around.
He is a Clemson fan and he's just his His
whole thing is Clemson will never be the Clemson of
a few years ago again unless they're in the SEC. Uh,
because they're just not gonna be able to recruit. I
don't necessarily agree with that but.

Speaker 4 (59:04):
Yeah, and I don't.

Speaker 1 (59:05):
This guy's a Clemson fan and he's like, he's just like, no,
we have to we got to move. And I'm like,
your trader, shut up. But well, I don't, and I don't.

Speaker 4 (59:13):
Honestly, I don't know yet if it's the portal. Let's
see if old miss or.

Speaker 11 (59:17):
Because Georgia certainly hasn't gotten a lot of people out
of the portal, though not in the top ten. Let's
see if some of the top ten teams who went
to the portal when win the championship. Ole miss is
one of the teams. Now, they're very good. You can't
really base it on this weekend's play who Oregon. There
are probably two of the top recrus I think NC
State was in.

Speaker 4 (59:36):
There's one of the top ten portals.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
They've been doing a lot of some really good work.
I mean with a kicker when they got that kicker
a few years ago, and now they've just been getting
some good dudes.

Speaker 4 (59:46):
So I mean, so we'll see.

Speaker 11 (59:48):
It's to me, it's remain I'm still cut of old
school like to have but it is anyway.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
Also, don't have your NFL alumni say there's too many
white players on the field. Yeah, that's that's not helpful.

Speaker 4 (59:59):
No, that's not helpful. Lot of anyway. Weather's quiet.

Speaker 11 (01:00:02):
Really don't see a chance of any rain to get
in here by maybe Thursday. That doesn't look like a
bunch of either a lots of sunshine after a little
cloud today, partly sunny tomorrow Thursday in afternoon shower storm
that basically doesn't call that great that Friday looks try
to and cool, upper seventies, low eighties through the week,
lows at night, sneak into the fifties here as we
are this morning in some spots, but then get back
to the load of its sixties late week. So pretty

(01:00:25):
pretty decent week, all though it's cooled off. No more
nineties or more hundred degree temperatures maybe for the rest
of the year.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
Okay, all right, I appreciate it, Thank you very much.
We'll talk in an hour. Rased Agic there from the
weather Channel. He's speaking of football. You know how it's
been a little down over the first overall draft pick
of the Minnesota Vikings basically sneezed and is out for

(01:00:51):
the year, which is just our lock quarterback, the dude
from Michigan. I found a team that's got a little worse,
a little worse. Well maybe in the totality, I think
that the Minnesota still got it worse, and I'll explain why.
But holy hell, do you see what happened to that
forty nine ers dude? If you didn't, we'll tell you
about it next. Hang on, nobody's played a regular season

(01:01:11):
game yet. So you got to cover all this stuff,
and I was, I was, you know, reading some of
that over the weekend. And just so, the Vikings draft
class and if you guys are sick, listen to me
talk about the Vikings. We'll get to the Bundesliga stuff later,
but first, so the Vikings. You have to understand the
Vikings draft this year. One of those dudes died, one

(01:01:37):
of our one of the dudes we drafted died and uh,
the number one pick by the Vikings. So what pick
eight I think we had? Once again we draft a quarterback.
Dude sneezes, he gets hurt. It happened to the dude
from Louisville Teddy Bridgewater in practice. He literally took you,
took a snap, went back three paces and blew out.

(01:02:00):
They thought they were gonna have to amputate his leg
so it's it's kind of a curse thing. And our
last two first round draft picks don't even play for
the team anymore. In fact, one of them, I think
the Bills just signed him. So I'm seeing all this
and it's you know, it's easy to be negative. Ross.
You said the Bills have a lot of injuries. I

(01:02:21):
was looking at the list. You're not exaggerating, they do,
and you know, and you have to wonder what does
that have for you? But then I saw what happened
in San Francisco. Forty nine Ers first round pick Ricky Pursall.
Dude was shot by a teenager over the weekend in
a robbery. Yeah, at least in A suspect who was

(01:02:44):
not named because he's a minor, tried to rob Percelle
at gunpoint, at which point Percelle thought, I'm an NFL player,
you're a punk. I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead and
and beat you up. And at that point the seventeen
year old apparently discharged the weapons. So and but it

(01:03:04):
was quite a scuffle because as the weapon was discharged
several times, both of them got shot. Taking to the hospital,
suspect and custody let's see here. It didn't hit any
vital organs or anything. But this NFL player, you're probably
excited to go to San Francisco. They put quite a
team together here lately. I mean, that's a pretty good team,

(01:03:28):
as Panthers fans are well aware. McCaffrey when he's healthy,
Holy crapman, And you know you got this image issue
already in San Francisco and meanwhile they're shooting your draft picks.
And that's right, that's where I'm headed because I literally
laughed out loud. All right. So the thing that Boston

(01:03:49):
Paul keeps sending me because he's bored or whatever, is
about Darius Slade. You know Darius Slay is he's he's
very good NFL player. He plays for the Eagles, and.

Speaker 5 (01:04:01):
He is.

Speaker 1 (01:04:01):
Yeah, he's a very good player. I'd love to have
him on the Vikings. And he was. He's not happy
and he's not hiding it either. So he spent the
weekend just blasting the NFL. And the thing he's not
happy about is because on Friday his team will be
in Brazil to take on the Packers. And a lot

(01:04:25):
of these players don't they they don't they do not
like these overseas games for obvious reasons, right the whole
You know, the schedule for an NFL team, like Thursday
games jack him up, especially if they just played like
a Sunday night game. Dudes are still bruised and stuff,
right it is, It is arguably noticeable. And then when

(01:04:48):
you start getting into now Brazil is less of an
issue from a time zone perspective. I think it's an
hour off the East coast and and and the East coast.
I'm trying. I remember if I had changed clocks well whatever,
you know, versus going to Germany or London or god forbid,
being a team's got to spend two weeks over in

(01:05:09):
the UK, which is one of the teams had to do.
I forget which one, and then you got a fresh
team coming in. It's crazy. But the Brazil thing is new,
and so he he's upset because the because he wants

(01:05:30):
his family to come there, and he's mad that the
NFL is sending them to Brazil because it's dangerous. And
then if his team of his family wants to come now,
is Brazil dangerous? I mean yeah, it depends where you
are and with the level of security. These dudes are
going to have and the parts of Brazil they're going

(01:05:50):
to go to, Like they're not going to the bar
district in Rio. They're not going down by the which,
by the way, I found just fine. When I went.
I did not feel it. It's like it's like any
other country in South America or Mexico or any of
the rest right that you know noticeably have some crime issues,
some of us sometimes pretty bad, but are also big

(01:06:15):
tourist destinations. There is clear delineation about where you should
go and where you shouldn't go unless you're an idiot. Okay,
Like I'm not going up to the favelas or whatever,
the ghetto, the barrios up there up on the hill
where they you know, where they may call the drug movie. No,
don't go there, but you want to go. You want
to go and see like literally a bunch of American

(01:06:37):
restaurants in Rio. They're there. They got a Hooters there
I noticed. So like, you're gonna be fine, bro, and
and your family's going to be fine. They have really
nice hotels with brand names you've heard of, and again
high level security. But the whole time he's saying it,
I'm like you you play for the Eagles, the Philadelphia Eagles.

(01:07:04):
I don't know if you've looked at some crime statistics
in Philadelphia. It just had an insane some insane crime
story last week. I forget what it was in Philadelphia,
which you know in your shirt says Philadelphia on it. Dude,
So that's your day to day stuff that your family

(01:07:24):
deals with. I don't know where you lived. I'm sure
he doesn't live in South Philly. But yeah, I think
you're gonna be fine. And then what was the other
NFL story? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, the I can never well,
now I don't have to. So one of the linemen
for the Ravens, Justin Madubuki, I don't know. Well, that's
not his name anymore. Dude just changed his name. I

(01:07:47):
guess he so his his heritage is Nigerian. I guess
his parents or his grandparents were first where immigrated. No,
his parents did, Okay, so he and I guess he'd
never been, and he decided to take a trip there
during the offseason, and he got all inspired, and so
he's he's doing the share thing, right. He just decided,
I'm gonna go with one name, and I'm gonna go

(01:08:08):
with a traditional name. So he's changing his full name
to Nimandi, and I guess they'll just put that on there.
They just throw that on the jersey and that's just
that's it. Everyone just refers to you as that, yeah,
which is fine. Guy's a good player too. Do whatever
you want. I don't care. You can change your name
to whatever you want, but it still won't be as
good as he hate Me. That's one of these NFL players.

(01:08:31):
Did that guy get any time in the NFL? I
think he did. One of the teams finally brought Do
you guys remember that was the XFL or one of
the iterations of it. But they let him just put
whatever on their jerseys and some dudes rolling around with.

Speaker 5 (01:08:42):
He hate me.

Speaker 2 (01:08:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:08:43):
I think that guy did get about five minutes in
the NFL, and I can't remember if they let him
use it. By the way, Unmandi is a boy's name
meaning father is alive, but only if your father's dead.
It's in the article here because if your dad's dead
but you act like them, then it means that you're
the reincarnation. It was in the story. I didn't know,

(01:09:07):
so in case you were wondering, All right, let's get
over the Durham insanity. So you got the Chrome book
and you're in Durham Public schools could have a problem,
all right, I just called it out. Here we go.
According to school officials, the some of the Chrome books

(01:09:29):
that were stored in the media center over the summer
are chock full of bedbugs. So I don't have one
of these chromebooks, so I can't blame my incident on this.
But yeah. According to DPS, the entire media center where
the bedbugs were found has been treated. All infected computers
were also fumigated, and they said it was only the

(01:09:53):
laptops that came out of there. I guess you call
them chromebooks, excuse me whatever. As addition precaution, students who
have already gotten chromebooks are asked to go ahead and
bring them in and I guess I don't know the
good dip them in something and give it to you.
Uh but yeah, I mean you guys. I wonder what
the number is here? How many houses have bedbugs now

(01:10:16):
because their kid got himself a school computer, came home
and infested the thing. It's not inexpensive. I'm not going
to tell you how much I just paid for all
those treatments. But it wasn't nothing. It wasn't nothing, and
it's and it could be more in the future, I
don't know, but it was. It sucked having to make

(01:10:37):
that payment. Have a number here. Oh and then and
this is this is the audacity. So in an email
to potentially potentially affected parents, the district included a tip
sheet on how to prevent the spread of bug of
bedbugs and best practices, which I find really amusing because

(01:11:01):
on it it says, one of the things that you're
encouraged to do is maintain proper storage in a clutter
free area that does not allow access by is not
allowed insects access to it. So you wrote a woke,
schold letter to parents telling them that their house may
have a bunch of bed bugs in it, and then

(01:11:23):
you told them that they better do this thing what
you didn't do. And they asked me, suspect any issues
with your chromebook, please report it to the schools so
we can address it. It doesn't say they're paying for it.
That's because they don't have any money because they can't
figure out how to pay people over there. But yeah,
so if you're listening, your kid's got a chromebook, it

(01:11:44):
may literally be a trojan horse for bedbugs. So happy
Tuesday till you're right there, all right, eight fifteen Kcoday
Radio program. Coming up on the show. Somebody's got to
try this, and it's not gonna be me, Sorry, but
I am. I am curious. The hot new drink of

(01:12:08):
the summer. Apparently that sounds not good, but I could
be proven wrong. I'll explain coming up cac O Day
Radio program. And I want to read the quote here.
Just because it quote it's not like anything I've ever
tasted before ever, doesn't mean it's good. I point this

(01:12:29):
out because after the show on Friday, putting some stuff together,
doing some production, and I do that last little scroll
through on Twitter before I just kind of don't pay
attention for as long as I can stand going into
the weekend, and I saw this story several times, so
of course it made it in the stack. Are you ready?
It's from the New York Post. Ah, the latest drink

(01:12:52):
trend taking over social media. People posting pictures of it.
It's it's it's very hip. Is called gator wine, which
one of you lunatics is doing this because, like they,
it was trending. The damn thing was trending, and not
just out of horror to the story. People are posting
pictures of this. So you don't know what gator wine is.

(01:13:15):
And I guess some YouTube influencer lady really like put
the you know, bolster the image of this and so on. Lunatics,
you get cheap red wine, I guess, so get some
phronsia the good stuff, and you have to go with
the blue gatorade, which, by the way, the light blue
gatorade is not even the good gatorade. Can we agree here?

(01:13:40):
Of all the gatorades, the one that I don't want
is the light blue one. But who knows. Maybe that's
your thing, but apparently that's what You gotta have light
blue gatorade and cheap red wine, so and you just
mix it, I guess, equal parts, and everyone says it's amazing.
I think they're trolling you on what planet? Is that good?

(01:14:06):
Actually she recommends you go with barefoot or yellow tail. See,
I'm going much cheaper than that. I'm going to front
I don't drink a ton of wine, but sometimes I do.
But I yeah, I gotta go FRONTSI or you know
something really classy. Dude, I ever tell you how I
how we when I was in school, so I wasn't
in a frat or anything like that, but I did

(01:14:29):
live in a house on Del Plaia, which is the
street in in Ila Vista, which is the Santa Barbara
suburb of the University of California. Santa Barbara is and
Del Plia is the street that faces the beach. So
we had like eight dudes in this big house. So
it's a real party row. And then as as you
go up the road, there's Sabado and then that's where
all the frats and cerrites and everything are. And so

(01:14:53):
we had one that was almost right across the street
from us, and these the dudes in there. It was
U which one was. It wasn't one of the big frats,
it was a it was one folk it was It
doesn't matter anyway. These guys are just they'd come over
for parties, but they were just kind of jerks, and
and so then they would hold like these events and

(01:15:13):
they had like a whining cheese party, right, very hoity
toydy kind of stuff. And we were more we were
more keg focused at our house and we're sitting around
and then we realized, like they they would normally come
if they were having like a thing over there, and
then they would hand for they put flyers in the
mailboxes on the street there, because you know, they charged

(01:15:34):
it again the party there. Back when you could you
could do that and not be illegally selling alcohol and
so and so we didn't get one in our mailbox,
and we were talking to our neighbors. They all got one,
and it's like, all right, either somebody threw it away
or they're just being passive aggressive. So we went to
the grocery store and we bought two boxes of the

(01:15:55):
I don't know if it was Fronzio it was when
they first started boxing the line. We had two of
those for you know, next to nothing. And then in
the deli where they had the cheeses, they had like
a basket and it had single shooter string cheese in it,
and so we put we about like fifty of those,
put them in a bag, and we rolled up on
that party and you could tell we didn't throw the

(01:16:17):
invite away. Guy didn't put it in there. He had
beef with one of the guys who lived in my house,
who was I guess the main dude there. And we
showed up and they had like nice bottles of wine
and they had like cheese trays with it all spread out,
and we just do We just rolled in two boxes
of phronsie and string cheese. And what made them more
irritated is everyone's eating the string cheese because string cheese

(01:16:40):
is fun. What do you want? So ah memories anyway,
But I never thought let's mix blue gatorade in there.
It is described as this summer's sangria. So stupid.

Speaker 4 (01:16:52):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:16:53):
Light blue is glacier freeze. Yeah, that's the one. I
don't want that, But I don't know. Some people mix
weird stuff, like you lunatics who put Mountain doing your
moonshine when fresca is obviously the best. I don't understand you.
But again, just because a food combination tastes like nothing
you've ever tried doesn't mean it's good. Do you know
what tuna fish ice cream tastes like? I don't. I

(01:17:16):
have no desire to find out. It's see here and
and then and then they're ranking this on social media
and the average score is seven out of ten. All right,
maybe I'm missing the boat here because I have no
desire to try that. Does anyone tried it. You can.
You can give us your little tattle report. All right,

(01:17:37):
let's get back to this. So I thought this was
kind of funny. Uh so it was two things are
funny about the DNC. One is watching every single conservative
internet celebrity wearing like fake wigs and just roaming around there.
That was great, don the very amusing this is, uh,

(01:18:02):
this dude went a step further, so a duel Ali
he is he has a conservative podcast and he is
let's see, he's running in the twelfth congressional Yeah, twelfth
congressional district here in North Carolina. He got himself into
an MSNBC focus group and I don't know exactly what

(01:18:26):
all they wanted to know to get in there, but
I wonder, because the dude's a congressional candidate, I wonder
if they just looked at him and said, oh, your
name's Adul Ali, Sure come on into our focus group.
And if they did, that's on them. So he's sitting
down and you've seen these things where it's like, you know,

(01:18:47):
Fox does an MSNBC, CNN. They get a room of ten,
ten totally normal people. All right, let's let's go and
get the audio here. So MSNBC. They're doing a panel
and the panel is is specifically about mixed race voters. Okay,
all right, fair enough, right, you know one of the
candidates is h is mixed race. So but it's MSNBC.

(01:19:12):
So I you know a lot of times you're putting
these panels with these stories together, and you know the
story you want to be the story, and so you
will staff accordingly. Does that make sense, right? Okay? But
what they didn't count on is this dude running for
Congress in the nc's twelfth district, uh dul Lale. So

(01:19:32):
he got in there. MSNBC said he did not disclose
he was a candidate. I understand why you wouldn't want
candidates undisclosed in there, but also isn't that on you
to just google? Who? Just didn't you didn't think there
was a possibility this dude was a Republican candidate. That's
what's going on here, and you look stupid. And that's

(01:19:55):
because within about five seconds this dude's starting to talk.
The producer for this segment had to be like, what
have we done?

Speaker 10 (01:20:02):
What about the rest of you?

Speaker 3 (01:20:03):
I just don't think that Kamala Harris has anything vested
in the air finger quote black or Hispanic experience inso
much as it would be identified by anybody that lives
in those communities.

Speaker 1 (01:20:14):
You're saying you don't think that she can help black
a brown people. No, I mean going to Howard don't
make you black, all right? And you know what, by
the way, even if he's not a Republican congressional camp
how many videos have you seen of black voter who
are not political candidates? Remember that? Remember that barbershop? Oh, dude, Ross,
can you see if you pull up that barbershop audio

(01:20:35):
from a few weeks ago, if you didn't hear this
audio we played like nine times and it's it's this dude.
I think it was for CNN, and he's like, here's
what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go to the barbershop
and I'm gonna find the most stereotypical black barbershop I
can find, and I'm gonna go in and I'm gonna
interview these guys. And again it's about you're creating the narrative, right. Oh,

(01:20:59):
they're gonna love Kamala Harris. And the best part of
the video is not even what they say. It's clear
the dude swung by the Fubu store before going over
because damn, that is a nice new Uh what was
what was on the shirt? What was it?

Speaker 5 (01:21:19):
It was a brand new Jordan T shirt.

Speaker 1 (01:21:20):
It's a brand new Jordan T shirt, like creases in it, right,
But you just know that that dude was.

Speaker 5 (01:21:27):
Like he's dressing for like he's like, what would I
wear in a Spike Lee movie?

Speaker 1 (01:21:31):
Right? Yes, absolutely, And that's that's to me, that's the
funniest part. Like him said, all right, I got this shirt,
I got some we get some sneakers, right, get.

Speaker 5 (01:21:40):
A little comes into a giant boom box.

Speaker 1 (01:21:42):
Got a boombox. Yea, absolutely got one of those comb
picks things. Like he's just googling. He's he's probably googling
how to do uh, you know to dap up dap
up people, you know, the hands of the crazy handshakes
and stuff. That's that's the part that I got the
most amusement for. But it's what they said, let me
play that for you that I think CNN off.

Speaker 4 (01:22:00):
Because Kama gonna make you.

Speaker 1 (01:22:03):
A little more likely or less likely to vote Democrats?

Speaker 5 (01:22:07):
Of course, great hold on right is its Kamala blacks.

Speaker 1 (01:22:09):
An, I'm gonna let her speak on that, but to me, no,
and I like, how the one dude has just taken
the interview over. Now he's interviewing the other guys.

Speaker 5 (01:22:23):
I share that same view.

Speaker 7 (01:22:24):
Wow, it's Kamala Black.

Speaker 5 (01:22:25):
Yes, no, I heard she would I heard she's half black,
game half Asian.

Speaker 10 (01:22:31):
Okay, all right, But I played that audio on my
series XM radio program on Thursday. Many callers who self
identified as African American were quick to tell me that
those men were the exception, not the rule. Some describe
them as low information voters, no different than you'd find
among whites.

Speaker 1 (01:22:47):
But that's I forgot about that part. That's the kicker
on this. So that's actually Michael Spraconish who's being interview
He's not the one that did the barbershop thing. He
just played the audio and he's the token Republican on
CNN whatever.

Speaker 5 (01:22:59):
He's the Michael Steele of the group. Was some When
we first played that audio, I was like, how come
I haven't seen him on my timeline and for you know, forever, right,
And it turns out I blocked him like forever ago.

Speaker 1 (01:23:09):
Oh okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's Racona. She's
he's kind of he's he's fit into that role with
Jennings over there. Who Now that somebody pointed out that
Jennings is a Republican on there, Now there's like a
a people are signing to get Jennings fired on CNN,
which I don't care. You know, the guy is just
a whipping boy over there, right, and he's just like,

(01:23:30):
oh well actually, and then the old the nine other
people on the panel destroy him. But if he's happy
doing that and they're paying him whatever, all right. So
I so back to this. So so this guy gets
in on the panel and again listen to QUI, oh
she what to Howard? Okay, all right? And then Ali
says that I.

Speaker 4 (01:23:47):
Agreed with him.

Speaker 1 (01:23:48):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 3 (01:23:49):
I didn't know she identified as black because everything I
saw was first South Asian, first Indian, this none of
that identified as.

Speaker 5 (01:23:57):
Black, regardless of her parents.

Speaker 10 (01:23:58):
I mean, she was born in this country, and she
identifies as a black person in this country in an
American way, and a uniquely American.

Speaker 1 (01:24:06):
Identify herself as a black woman. Said multiple times, she's
a black woman.

Speaker 4 (01:24:09):
I've never heard it.

Speaker 1 (01:24:11):
Yeah, and by the way, you can believe what this
woman's saying or you can google any Kamala Harris campaign
stuff printed by California news outlets about her Senate and
AG stuff. Now there is, admittedly there is some where

(01:24:32):
they talk about her full racial background, but literally there's
like promotional materials that is leaning into the Indian side,
which is fine, okay, whatever. I mean if look you
when you got one parent one and one the other,
and you you you want to get into the specifics
of it, I don't care. You choose whatever one you want,

(01:24:52):
doesn't bother me. And I don't care whether she's Indian, black, white,
or whatever. I just want her to stop laughing. She'd
be green. Stop laughing. But you know this, this revisionist
history where we're going to pretend that she didn't lean
into her South Indian roots is you can't make that argument.
There's too much out there until Google figures out how

(01:25:15):
to get rid of it.

Speaker 5 (01:25:15):
I mean, she was celebrated for being the first Indian American.

Speaker 1 (01:25:18):
It's the headline. It's literally the headline of her senate appointment.
Remember she was appointed. It's literally the headline in the
San Francisco newspaper. First this, first that, And you know
how they use that stuff because how you know they
still won't run articles, They still never ran articles. Giddy
over Mark Robinson. I thought the first, this first, that mattered,

(01:25:40):
and obviously it doesn't. So yeah, I love that that
And what made MSNBC so mad is he's saying what
Trump said at that black journalist thing. Remember those women
he when he was on that stage. It was in
the first moment you knew that they thought their job
was to get them and not to have a conversation.
And he's said that, and everyone clutched their pearls for

(01:26:02):
a few days and lost their minds. Well, now you
got this dude who you thought kind of probably looked
like a Democrat voter because you didn't google it, and
he's saying what Trump said. Oh no, no, no, no no.
They did not like that. And now they're like, can
you believe this guy who infiltrated it? I have a question.
Did you ask him? I admittedly I don't know how

(01:26:23):
you screen potential panel people. Did you ask him if
he was a candidate for office you didn't google? Obviously,
maybe you should should put that on a little checklist,
a little getting to know you. I'm sure that they
get some biographical details on these folks. So when they
do the report they can say, you know, give a
little background on the people there. But yeah, either way,

(01:26:48):
good good on that dude man going in there and
at least make them shift around in their seat for
a few minutes. All right. So I got to tell
you this story real quick. Hey, Ray is race agic there.
He can listen into this. So I don't know you
saw this story. There was about a forty five foot
sailboat out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean over
the weekend and it just they had opted a distress

(01:27:11):
beacon and so ships are trying to get over to it.
But as you are aware, there was a there was
a little weather issue with Hurricane Gilma, and this this
boat is floating right where it is and the waves
are up to twenty five feet and they eventually, like
they tried some commercial ships to get there, eventually they

(01:27:31):
had to have a navy destroyer go. And I guess
the guy who knew how to sail was dead. Yeah,
a heart attack or something. So they get there on
the boat and there is a forty five year old
woman and a seven year old girl. Help us please
the hurricanes coming. They they take a takes hours to

(01:27:51):
rescue them. They get them on the boat and the
woman goes, our pets are on board. Oh so yeah,
navy see and then go and go to rest your pet.
And so she has a cat, which is a navy
personnel's life worth. I don't know you'd neither, and a

(01:28:12):
giant sea tortoise and that apparently they drug on the
boat and just lives on the boat. Now, oh wow,
and they rescued like this giant sea tortoise. But it's
a sea tortoise. It's if your boat overturned, bam and
the and everybody's bobbing around the water. You think this
tourist will let you hang on for a free ride
to Honolulu, which was nine hundred miles away. Oh, it's

(01:28:34):
going underwaters and this sucks man. Thanks for the lettuce. Yeah,
it's absolutely yeah my pets. What is it a small cat? No,
it's a three hundred pound sea tortoise. Also, can you
just grab those and put them on your ship? I
don't think so.

Speaker 4 (01:28:50):
No, something you don't see every day, right yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:28:53):
Yeah yeah. Maybe maybe they were just happy to be
doing something on the destroyer. Man.

Speaker 4 (01:28:57):
I don't know that could be.

Speaker 1 (01:28:59):
That could be anyway, all right, soah, oh they're French.

Speaker 11 (01:29:03):
So I mean, well, yeah, what are you gonna do?
Let's see last quite a week. Last week had a
couple of record setting days and Triangle had some hundred
degree weather. All that's going away now. We got to
north northeast flow beautiful few days.

Speaker 1 (01:29:16):
Right.

Speaker 11 (01:29:16):
I've seen some clouds as you get west and north
of Charlotte and your Salisbury into the mountains, but they're
even going away. A lot of us seeing clear sky now,
upper seventies today, Tomorrow, probably even Thursday. We might see
a shower thunderstorm, try to sneak in here. Thursday does
not look like my rain this week. We'll get back
to near eighty degrees or above by Friday. On the weekend,
maybe some showers in here Friday night and Saturday, but

(01:29:39):
Sunday looks good. I don't see any really extreme heat
coming back. I don't dare to say that we're done
for the year, but right now looks like eighty or
less right on through the upcoming weekend and not much rain.
Looks like there'll be a week low pressure trying to
go south of US and keep most of the moisture south.

Speaker 4 (01:29:55):
Late in the week, but right now looks pretty darn
good actually, okay.

Speaker 1 (01:30:00):
Oh and by the way, it was so dangerous they
opted not to remove the dead dude, and he's just
bobbing around out in the ocean right now.

Speaker 4 (01:30:06):
Yeah, take the pets, leave the corpse.

Speaker 7 (01:30:08):
You do it.

Speaker 1 (01:30:09):
That's my husband, but he's dead.

Speaker 4 (01:30:11):
Yes, we've got to be buried at sea anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:30:14):
Dude, what is I can't imagine? All right? Thank thank you, old.

Weather Channel. That's the thing too. So yeah, that's not
my husband whatever, but the turtle. We need the turtle. Dude.

up and there's a weird because you dogs are obviously
going to be an issue for you too, you like
the Amazon guy, but you're going into somebody's house. You

(01:30:43):
got a bunch of pets having a medical emergency. You
never had to rescue a giant tortoise, though, did you?
All right? Eight forty seven?

Speaker 12 (01:30:49):
Hang on, Oh, it looks like a lower start ahead,
casey right now, the S and P futures down twenty seven.
Nasdaq futures are down one hundred and fourteen and the
Dow futures are down two hundred five points. The stocks
rallied the head of the weekend, but looks like investors
came back in a selling mood. Investors will get a
lot of economic data during this holiday shortened week. It

(01:31:11):
starts today with a supply manager's report on August factory activity.
We get that at ten o'clock this morning. Job market
indicators highlight the economic calendar with the Labor Department's August
employment report do out on Friday. Two media companies are
at odds, and it's TV viewers who are feeling the impact.
Eleven million Direct TV subscribers are without all of the

(01:31:33):
Walt Disney owned channels because of the carriage dispute. ABC,
ESPN and other channels will be blacked out on DirecTV
until a new deal is in place. DirectTV wants better
terms from Disney. There is a new video streaming option
now available. Elon Musk's ex social media platform officially launched
a beta version of XTV that allows X users to

(01:31:55):
view video on their TVs. It's intended to compete with YouTube.
It includes a range of live channels, including news, sports, movies, music,
and weather. More than ten thousand hotel workers cross the
country stage to strike over Labor Day weekend, calling attention
to their demands for higher pay. The strikers are members
of the Unite Here union, which represents housekeepers and other

(01:32:17):
hospitality workers. There were walkouts from Honolulu to Boston. Couple
of North Carolina firms announced new marketing deals. Chrispy Kreme
has some special limited time donuts celebrating the sixty fifth
anniversary of Barbie. Lots of Pink as you might imagine.
Lowe's is the National Football League's official home improvement partner

(01:32:38):
for the new season. And Casey, Deadpool and Wolverine was
back on top the movie theater box offices over the weekend.
It was a slow weekend for movies. The Walt Disney
release took in another fifteen million dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:32:51):
Casey, okay, all right, well, thank you, Jeff. We'll chat tomorrow, sir.

Speaker 12 (01:32:56):
Sounds good talk to you.

Speaker 1 (01:32:57):
Then, have a good time there, Jeff Bellinger from Blomberg News.
Do appreciate that. Okay? All right, so we get the
bar that reminds me, dude, I did I tell you?
I don't think I told you. Guys So when I
was traveling earlier this year, I stayed at a Marriott,

(01:33:17):
the standard Marriott, so you know, one of the bigger ones,
and I go to check in in the lobby and
they have a full size Barbie. It looks like the
boxes that barbies come in with the accessories and but
it's full size. You can walk it in and take pictures.
And the front desk lady was like, oh, do you
want to take a picture in there? No, I don't,

(01:33:41):
and I do. I look like an eight year old girl.
So he's talking about some of that stuff. I think
that was a marketing thing they must have done with them,
but unfortunately, there is not a photo of me in
a Barbie case, nor will they ever be. All right,
a couple quick things for we get on out of
here this final segment. I want to make sure that

(01:34:02):
I did get to all okay, yeah, I did get
to all the audio today. That's good. Real quick, I
want to hit you with with this story. This is great, dude.
Chick fil A just does business well. And you know
they're redesigning their restaurants incrementally. In fact, if you go
to the Chick fil A on Capital obviously it's very

(01:34:25):
different than the one that had been sitting there, and
it's immediately noticed. You get the two big lanes right,
people standing outside, which was not unusual, but no longer
you've got to do that big loop around the bill.
Well you still loop, but you're not just it moves
much faster. So the very latest Chick fil A restaurant,
the newest one in it's in Georgia is now they're

(01:34:49):
full redesign and it's two stories. Okay, but it looks
like a beach house because it's on stilts right essentially
the way that it's built. Under it are four lanes,
all with the people stage. They're all with the folks,
and then the second story is the kitchen. It doesn't
have a din in for this one, but in some

(01:35:11):
of them it'll be kitchen and dining there. And it
is able to serve six times faster than any other
Chick fil A boom. And the lines are crazy now
granted it's new, the lines are always crazy when it's new.
And they got the conveyor system in there. I mean,
they just and I don't understand how you have some

(01:35:33):
of these companies, you know what it is, because they
get their head all stuck up in all this DEI crap,
and then they start doing stuff like what you saw
Harley doing.
