Speaker 1 (00:00):
Or as we're calling it a countdown to Christmas.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
We're like, you're we're like an advent calendar for guys
who want more time off. So uh yeah, glad to
have you along love this time of the year, not
the temperatures. We'll have race stage a con a little
later to answer first crimes. Why is this thing being
a jerk today?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Is your problem? There we go. My next gen is
just crazy lately weird, weird, weird.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
You know what else is weird? I was, I was
reading a few different stories. You know, after an election
is when the various political parties, legislative branch, obviously state legislatures,
even locals, there's a lot of reorg going on, so
you get minority leaders, majority leaders, just different people in
(00:52):
charge of different things, and it's.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
A little wonky.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Most people other than who's the Speaker of the House,
who's the head of the Senate, and then maybe at
a local leveled as well, don't really pay attention. But
it's interesting because what you're looking at is you look
at how a political party did, and then you look
to see, based on those results, what they decide to
(01:21):
do with leadership, platforms, just a variety of things and
what is increasingly becoming wild to me is and this
is not a victory lap I'm honestly wondering why are
Democrats not making changes? And in some cases they are,
(01:42):
like in the Senate, Dan Blue will not be the
Senate Minority Leader, but then they picked another senator from
Wake County and it's like, because I don't know if
you know this, And there's only one stat that you
need to retain from.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
The last election, not necessarily.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
North Carolina is interesting in how national races versus state
races played out, and there's a lot of reasons for that,
but the overall temperature of the electorate.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Is clearly not enthused.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
And the big takeaway is it feels like the Democrat
Party has yielded the everyman. That's what this that's what
this election looks like. I know you don't want to
admit it, and and and here's how I will prove it.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Okay, do you know?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
And I'm sure a lot of you do, But this
is this is the only stat if anybody wants to
get into a debate about things that I think should
and and if and if I was a Democrat Party official,
this is the stat that would haunt me at night. Okay,
you ready, there are I don't remember the exact stop.
(03:05):
It's like three thousand counties in the United States, across
all fifty states, three thousands, say three thousand and one
hundred or whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Some states have a lot. North Carolina's got one hundred.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I like that nice, easy to keep track of the
state I hail from.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Wyoming.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
We have we you know, we're only in the twenties,
but that's okay. And then we have this quasi thing
around Yellowstone.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It's a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
But three thousand and there is not a single county
where Democrats outperformed did better than they did the last election.
They did worse in every single county. And that includes
(03:57):
what is New York is it? King's County is the
one that encompasses near They even they hemorrhaged in New York,
they hemorrhaged in every single county. And let me tell you,
especially when you get to Wyoming and I'm sure Alaska,
uh and several other states. You you could have had
lunch with enough people to turn that around. But there's
(04:17):
not a single place in America, not a pocket broke
down by counties where the Democrat party did better than
last time, so some would say, you might want to
do things different. And if you are concerned that you
(04:39):
may have screwed up and allowed this opening that Trump
seized upon to your you know, your union workers and
you know a traditional Democrat strongholds where people just went,
you know, I'm done with you.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Why would you keep doing things the same?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I mean, by all means do that if you still
want to do all the insane crap you purport that
you want to do.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
But boggles my mind.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Man, Sorry, that's you wake up and I wake up,
and sometimes we get fixated on different things.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
And that was the thing dragging me down this morning.
The hell was going on?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
No, I saw it like, she didn't flip one county,
not a single one, and that hasn't happened since Herbert Hoover,
not a single one.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
And so what do you do? You're like, all right,
we need new leadership. What should we do? Let's get
another Metro Wake County senator in there.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
And maybe that doesn't matter to the voter. I don't know,
but it just seems weird, doesn't it. And you know, ultimately,
when you're in leadership, it becomes less about wherever they
hail from and more about what they're doing at the
state level. But still I saw that and I went,
what are you doing? That doesn't make any sense to me?
(05:56):
If you think that you need to kick the guy
to the curb blue who was in there? And that's
kind of the vibe that the article laid out. You
got a Monty Python this thing. Oh that's good. I'm
gonna start using that.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Ross.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
You get what I mean by that when I say
you got a Monty Python this thing?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Come on now for something completely different.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yes, yes, you got a Monty Python this thing. I
know somebody you're like do because again, I know you
think that I'm in here just to be a partisan
a hole, but I'm not. I'm here to make fun
of people, but also wonder aloud about these things.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I know you need to change something. It's like you
bring in like count Binhead, how do you get count?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
What's that guy doing? He probably can't hold many offices?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
But sure, why not? Would that be Ross?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I got asked, wouldn't that be amazing if he's the
set of minority leader in North Carolina? And then every
time the Republican's like, we're gonna override a veto and
he comes over there with his echoe you have voice.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
And he's just like you will.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Let's say it doesn't even have to be a Democrat,
Like if it was Count Binhead or whatever versus Tom Tillis,
I'm voting for Bnhead.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Well that's not fair.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
It could be uh uh, what's the guy's nay, who's
the who's the guy? We always make fun of the
demon murderer dude over in the Triad. Oh lord, yeah,
Lord of the Demons would probably beat Tillous right now.
So because you know what, Pazuzu, Lord of the Demons
never tried to steal your kids sold during the night,
(07:30):
So I mean he wants it, don't get me wrong,
but yeah, yeah, it's just this is the stuff that
just makes me go, okay, all right, do what you're
gonna do. But like, have you learned nothing? And and
like even CNN is bringing on these idiots. Dan Goldman's
an idiot, This New York representative. I could go into
(07:53):
all the reasons the guy is, I don't maybe got
kicked in the head by.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
A horse, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
But even they CNN's bringing these idiots onto ROAs. And
you know why, because you're seeing a little bit of
what you saw after the debate. Remember when the media
all acted like, I can't believe you all lied to
us about Joe Biden's cognitive ability and they all pretended
like they weren't in on it so that they could
(08:23):
save face because they realized it is detrimental to their livelihoods.
They're doing that again. Now they're going to bring on
people like idiot Dan Goldmin and go, well, you said
this about the pardon thing. What's going on? And the
reality is all the people at CNN and MSNBC and
everybody else, they all saw it.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
They all looked at it, and.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
They all didn't believe him, not if they were honest,
not if you got a few drinks in them. They
didn't believe him. And when he did it, they hated it.
They did, but they hated it more for partisan reasons
because they's say, oh, it's going to do for Trump,
but they're not going to really get into it. And
even when they saw it coming together. We had a
(09:05):
story in the prep packet yesterday, Ross you remember this,
where they had sources saying that Biden was cooking this
thing up. And I had sent the prep before the
pardon was announced, so they knew about it. And yet
they got to bring Goldman on for his struggle session
and I'm here for it.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
In July of twenty twenty three, just after that plea
deal fell through, this is what you said, I want
to watch.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Do you think a pardon for his son would be
a mistake? Yes, And I don't think there's any chance
that President Biden is going to do that, unlike his predecessor,
who pardoned all of his friends and anyone who had
any access to him.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
And I think, okay, just real quickly, Donald Trump pardoned
about two hundred and thirty people. That sounds like a lot, right,
you know, Barack Obama pardoned four thousand. In fact, there's
only been two presidents that didn't harden to anybody. And
you got to go back away. I think Harrison and
uh Garfield.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I'd have to look it up, but they like what what.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
All?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Right? So like the pardon?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Things not new, it can and and and don't get
me wrong, do presidents abuse their pardons one hundred percent?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Did Trump? One hundred percent? They all do.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
What you're hoping for is sat as. It's you're hoping
for like minimal damage and just stupid stuff. Right, it's
not okay, but it's not high on the list of
things that keep me up at night. Barack Obama did
four thousand. I know Dan Goldman wasn't a member of
Congress at the time. He's only been elected.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Well maybe he was.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I'd have to see when he was elected. But like
it's all performative. But now you got to answer for
it on the CNN kind of do you.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
See that in this case where he kept on and
Merrick Garland kept on a Trump appointed US attorney to
investigate the president's son. If there is not an indication
of the independence of the Department of Justice, beyond that,
I don't know what we could look for.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And to this adult, it's never occurred to him that.
I mean, maybe it has and he won't admit it.
Here is let me tell you where my thinking is
right now, and then let me uh eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven four you can tell
me if I'm wrong. I after watching all this play
out over the last twenty four thirty six hours, whatever,
(11:35):
I've come to this conclusion. Biden planned on pardoning his
son for over a year and the performative trial of
his son took place because it buttressed the Trump prosecutions,
and so they could have this they'd be like, no,
(11:57):
it's just justice completely, but justice.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
That's what happened. Yeah, yeah, all.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Right, so you're on you're on the you're on war
with this. Convince me otherwise.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
No, we said yesterday he was always going to pardon him,
And the reason for that is he's a political creature
and he's incredibly corrupt, right, this entire thing that he's
some sort of like moral moral role model or whatever it's.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
And if he had just pardon him for the two
we could have this debate. But he gave him eleven years.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
The reason, right, Yeah, it's so stupid, like like a
decade plus. And the whole reason is so they could say, oh,
well look no, I mean it's not we're not just
going after Trump. It's not a political thing. We're going
after his son as well. It's it's all you know,
it's all fine.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yeah, with the reality being that this was always this
was always going to happen.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
It's all bull crep yep.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
And so now the narrative is what would a father do?
What would a father do, well, a father can forgive?
How many of you have forgiven something that your kid
has done? They could be minor, right, you don't hold
you hold grudge on Lincoln for I I you know, picked.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
The last you get. Oh yeah, come completely I do.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Oh yeah, the Merits Wall.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah, I remember I got that big TV. It was
so happy about my big TV. That one called this
year and Lincoln walks up and he's like three years
old and he's got his Harry Potter one and he
walks over, Yeah, watching Harry Potter and like you know whatever.
It was like ten ADP at the time or whatever
before yeah, yeah one. And he walks up to and
he's like Expelly Homus boom and he hits the TV
and the TV had been set up for I don't know,
like two seconds, and now there's this big.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Black magic work.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
It did. Anytime they would show like a blue clear sky,
you would see these black pixels in the middle of
the screen, or you know, like it's there, it's a
white snow thing or what there's the black pixels. And
every time for years until we replaced that TV, every
time we would show up on the TV, we'd be
watching a movie in the living room and all of
a sudden, a nice blue sky and I would say, hey,
(13:52):
remember when you destroyed my TV.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
And now they're and you just owned them, right and right.
I mean, that's what a father does. We're talking about
what a president does. Okay, tell you about a president.
So if Joe Biden wants to buy Hunter a brand
new sixty whatever inch obscene TV that Ross has with
pixels missing, well not anymore. But that's fine, But that's
(14:16):
not what we're talking about. This was allowed even though
the decision was made way back over a year ago,
probably maybe longer. The decision was made and they said,
we got to let this play out by he's going
to have to go through the court cases, but he
will never ever ever be sentenced or put in incarcerated,
(14:38):
and it'll time out.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
We can drag this out. I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I would go so far as to wonder if some
of the prosecutors and the jurisdictions helped with the scheduling
of this. Do you know what I'm saying, Dude, dude, anyway,
I'm sorry, go ahead finish, mister Goldman.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
What does that feel like watching yourself back then reassuring
people that Biden was not going to.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
This is a question being asked by a person who
sat on panels reassuring people this wasn't going to happen.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
So just the hypocrisy is through.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
The issue a pardon for his son.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Yeah, and I think that if that plea agreement and
that plea deal had gone through, there would be no pardon.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Right.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
The plea deal that included this eleven year window of
Freebie's doesn't matter. You know that a judge looked at
and legal scholars looked at the I've ever seen anything
like this.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
This is the narrative they're going with.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Oh, well they had to because a corrupt justice system
throughout his plea deal that was a satisfactory outcomes already fallen.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Yeah, yeah, sorry, when you reacted, this was when the
deal had fallen through.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
This guy's such an idiot that he didn't remember that
he came on and said this crap after the judge
had rejected it. That's a person in charge.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Think about that. We'll be back hang on.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Where you have institutions, You have institutions that are purging
this woke garbage. They're not gonna get rid of all
of it. And frankly, here's the other thing. They shouldn't
get rid of all of it. You understand what you
understand what I'm saying, like because I don't want to
see a situation. And when I say all of it,
I mean going through and just going looking at anybody
(16:30):
and going you know what, I think you said something
nice about Biden once you're out of here, right, because
that's that's like, uh, the coup was successful, Let's round
up the executees. That's not what That's not what you're doing.
But you have to you have to recapture the program
and the spirit and and and what you were intended
(16:52):
to do. So if you're in higher ed educating people,
if you're in the city of Raleigh, it's maximizing the
use of the tax dollars in a way that comports
with the desires of the populace. And I understand that
the city of Raleigh, in Greensboro and Winston said, you know,
any larger city in North Carolina is going.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
To have that that that lean.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
But remember, these cities are more than just what they
provide their individual citizens. They're also economic regional economic hubs.
And you know a lot of people just don't want
to deal with that stuff. So when you send a
press release and bragging them out Raleigh, Welcome's new director
(17:31):
of Equity and Inclusion, what are you doing? You know
that cities and universities and companies, more so companies because
of the economic side, they're kicking this crap to the curb.
And so they're like, well, welcome Nestor. What is it
voz Pascal Jesus, I'll try to pronounce this Pasiluqua Pasilucua,
(17:58):
who is the new director of Equity and Include And
my beef is not with Nestor. Nestor is He's just
an over educated dude.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
He's got like nine degrees.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
He's from Peru originally and then came to California to
go to college, then went to three colleges and and
and then worked for cities like San Luis Obispo, which
the only reason to go to San Luis Obispo, let me,
let me just help you is when the cal Poly,
which I think he went to cal Poly. Probably yeah,
he did cal Poly after the tournament a Roses Parade
(18:31):
because I went to us to Santa Barbara and it's
you know, it's not.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
That far and then they have a huge like.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Festival fair, fun time and you go up and then
you party up there, so that that'd be my recommendation.
But this isn't on him. This is on the insanity
of and and then the way that they were this
stuff is is mind boggling to me. Things like he
will begin his service with the City of raw He's
(18:57):
not he's not an enlisted militar terry individual. I hate
when they use the word service. You're not doing a
Is he being paid, then he's not doing a service.
Is he being paid but also under contract, like to
the point of being prosecuted. If he like a military
member would be, then you can call it service. Sorry,
(19:20):
that's stuff. Just but he's got like nine degrees and
you know, and they're gonna shoehorn him into this thing
and you can't You couldn't possibly tell me what he's
gonna do other than make things more expensive the whole position,
and it's like, did you learn nothing? And I trust me.
I was equally as critical of Republicans doing stupid crap
(19:43):
after they got you know, when they get waxed in election,
Like I don't understand it because here's the thing. At
that point I'm not really even rooting for a side.
I'm just rooting for people to be sane and make
saane decisions and keeping.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Your power base.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
If you're the Day Democrats, strictly just in Wake County,
let me give you a piece of free advice that's
going to irritate some of those on the right. If
I was the head of the Democrat Party, or if
I was in a position enough to influence what they do,
the first thing I would have done when staffing leadership
positions is gotten somebody from Western North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
It's absolutely performative.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I understand that, But you have a twofold thing one
and your own guy said this, and never let.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
A good crisis go to waste.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
You have that where half the state thinks you your
party and those above just absolutely ignored them, rightly or wrongly,
I don't care. If you're one of those people will
think it's only because some guy on Twitter said it.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
That's the perception. And those counties you didn't just not gain.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
In those counties, you lost, and you put that person,
and then that person their pet project becomes actually helping
people in Western North Carolina, even if it's just for
the for the press, and then.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
I consider her.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
You guys just do it for whatever, and then you
you start to build back the working man, working woman voters.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Why are you so stupid? How do you?
Speaker 2 (21:16):
How?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Does not occur to anybody?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
There seems to be like a segment right of the
Democratic Party that doesn't realize that the last election was
a complete repudiation of this woke DEI nonsense. Yeah, and
we're tired of seeing it in media and in policy and.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Paying for it. You and I are paying well, you're
not you living, wait for it, you're paying for I'm
paying for that.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
And you you previously mentioned that there's a lot of
businesses that are dropping all this crap and the reason
is because they're now you know, they're feeling it in
their wallet. It reminds me of this decision and like
it reminds me of right after the election, I think
it was before Thanksgiving, how Jaguar came out with their
their act.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Did you see this pepto bismal looking piece of crap.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Yeah, they came out and it was like it was
obvious and apparent that they made the ad before the
election because they know, once again, it's a repudiation of
the Hillary Trump Andy, Yeah, because and everyone of the
comments when you're reading on it, and I read this
on I saw it on a Facebook, I saw it
on an X and people are like, you know, we're
tired of this nonsense, and if you come out with
(22:13):
this garbage, we're not going to support it, and you
are going to be punished financially for it.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
And and let's give in mind too that some company,
a lot of companies moved in that direction, not because
they wanted to.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Right, A lot of it was ESG based. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
So I've said this before.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
One of the things, especially when you get into big companies,
that they need to utilize is capital for various periods.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
You know.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
So you got a lot of companies where revenue is
not derived evenly throughout the year, so they use the
they use essentially capital.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
And it gets very complicated.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
But the companies, there's really only a few big ones,
and then there's like two really big ones. They both
basically said that you need to have a score, this
es G score, and if you don't meet it, then
you can't use money to keep your business going. And
we're talking like Fortune five hundred companies. And so they
(23:10):
went all right, well, whatever we gotta do. We gotta
stay in business, right because it wasn't that people with
So the moment they see an off ramp and people
start actually speaking up, Hell yeah, they're gonna get rid
of this and to not notice what's going on in
the r ry welcomes our new director of Equity and Inclusion.
What the hell is he gonna do? I'm reading the
press release here, let's see Raleigh's let me just read this.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
This is what he does in his work. Ross, you'd
love this. You'd love this job title because you wouldn't
have to do anything. You just say nothing.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Are you ready develop internal partnerships to strengthen organizational culture
and elevate the city's commitment to the principles of diversity,
equity and inclusion. This has got to be a six
figure gig.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Oh, it is a complete waste of time. Right, So
you're gonna have meetings about meetings and make every buddy's
life completely miserable, and nothing is going to get done,
and production is going to get down, and everyone's going
to be walking on eggshells, worrying that they're going to
offend somebody, and if they are, they're called an HR
and then they lose their job for some step.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yeah, how is it? How is this helpful? What do
you mean this city?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
You if you want to develop or demonstrate your commitment
to diversity, equity and inclusion, which I would, I would
tell you that that's probably not people's primary driving concern
right now. The large majority, they just like to be
able to afford eggs and maybe get back to some
sense of normalcy with pricing and the way that we
do things.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
If you do that, if you do.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
This, and uh it like everyone everyone in and around,
as Ross just pointed out, like literally has to adapt
to it. So you can't tell me there's not like
loss in in what's going on? And if you really
want to develop, if you want to a commitment to it,
just do things like here's here you want me to help.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I mean, you're I'm your interim DEI guy. You ready, because.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
I'm gonna I'm gonna show you my commitment to the
principles of equity and inclusion. Everybody in the city of
Raleig gets a tax cut, so instead of paying.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
For this garbage.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
That's right, everybody gets a tax cut, white, black, brown, whatever, green,
doesn't matter. Man woman one of the other seventy two
things you get on a New York drivers doesn't matter.
None of it matters. Everybody in the city rally gets
more money in their pocket. It's not a lot, but
it's a little. And it's something that sounds pretty inclusive,
(25:37):
doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
There's some people who don't own a home, uh, but
they rent, right.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
You know that that's built into the cost, like this
is this is the dumbest crap ever. Or if you
want to make it even easier, Uh, why don't we
start talking about some of the sales tax stuff. I'm
gonna go a little broader with this there. And I
don't even have to hire some dude for six figures
to come in and hold useless meetings.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I am the best. Listen to me.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
I don't know how much you idiots pay consultants down
there on Hillsborough Street with your big, old white mansion
that you almost got foreclosed on. I just gave you
more consulting advice that is positive for you in forty
five minutes of radio than you're gonna get all year.
Don't get leaderships stuck in the same place you waised
(26:27):
that opportunity you could have literally recaptured more of the
rule vote which you hemorrhaged, and now you're all concerned
about and stop spending money on garbage like this. You're
welcome send me my check six forty five.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Hang on.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
The companies that are moving out of this because they're
being allowed to or they're being forced to write you
go back to like bud Light and some of the others,
where they immediately were like, all right, we're going right
back to comedians doing dumb stuff on commercials and catchphrases right, which, frankly,
if you're their advertising agency, you get be like, what
are you doing? To Ross's point, you mentioned this a
(27:04):
jaguar Jaguar. They came out with this weird ad, didn't
show a single car, just showed weirdness. There's no other
way weirdness. And by the way, weirdness is gonna be
the theme of the show today. And we haven't even
gotten into the wicked stuff, which I was gonna ignore, but.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I have to talk about this.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Hey, Weirdness is the name of the game. And so
they come out and they do this weird ad and
they're like, we're we're gonna do something nobody's ever done
before it's gonna be crazy. And people are like, I
don't know, watch you show a car instead of whatever
the hell this fever acid induced dream of a commercial is.
And so that went on, I don't know what a
week ago or whatever. And then yesterday some some photos of.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
The car leaked. They didn't leak, the company sent them out.
Shut up.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
They even if they didn't send them out officially, they
sent them out.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
They didn't just leak the same.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Photos that are all touched up, ready to go and
have marketing information.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, whoopsie.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
So and then and they decided to build a car
which look, I don't know all of the stats, ford horsepower,
all of that.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
It's probably pretty beefy, and.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
It's got some decent looking lines. And then they post
this photo and the thing and I searched for a
color that that car is, and I can arrive at
no other color than pepto Bismo. And it also looks
your car that looks like nothing else, looks like a
car it has to, but it also looks like it
backed into a Rulls Royce. And now the trunk has.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
A rules Roys grill on it. I don't know what's
going on. I will glad I'm a car.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
I would gladly see this thing when it comes out,
and uh yeah, maybe want to drive one. I'm sure
it's gonna be pretty cool. They build nice cars usually.
But you went in this direction, and as Ross pointed out,
you probably went in at pre election and now you're
stuck with pepto dismal.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
And the problem with these DEI director positions or whatever
is there they're constantly looking for problems because it's like
the the L. Sharpton effect, right, like if racism doesn't exist,
then he doesn't have a job, so he constantly has
to find, you know, examples of it. So these people are.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
A thousand dollars donations from the Hairs camp to do interview.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Because without it, they don't have a job. So they're
constantly looking for problems. So they're going to constantly be
looking around the workplace for these microaggressions and just completely
ruining people's lives for stupid stuff.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yes, some day goes to the breakroom, get go, your
hair looks nice today. And now he's on a predator website.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Now he's a monster, right, Yeah, And I get to
have a meeting and about a meeting and a meeting
about it.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
By the way, you know what, you went to know
how much our company loves us. Ross and I normally
have a meeting after the show. Today our boss canceled it.
You know why, because he cares about us.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
I wake up every Tuesday morning praying that the Tuesday
meeting is going to get canceled.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I'm not you don't like Trevor and me.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Well, I don't know, maybe maybe me. But now that
you don't like, you don't want to hang out with Trevor. No,
I love Trevor. Yeah, I don't mind. But it's the
idea of the meeting where it's just.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yeah, no, thank you. I don't want to do to that.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
And so I wake up this morning and it's a
notification on my phone because you can't, I guess you
cancel it.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Listen, we don't need to have a meeting for you
to tell us how awesome we are. Just send an
email or a text.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
They did yesterday.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
You guys are awesome, Thank you so much. Continue the
great work. I don't need a meeting for that.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Yeah, we had a They sends an email tell us
we were awesome, yesda, which means we're probably getting fired today.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
But you know, rightly, everybody's responding. And they were like,
oh yeah, great, you know, and I was just gonna
write just happy to be here. But I was like,
that might come across the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Well you saw what I wrote, did you? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (30:35):
I did, Yeah, I did, so yeah yeah yeah. I'm like,
I hope, I hope they understand that. That is, I
hope they get the reference, because if not, it sounds well.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I was gonna be like, you listen, I was going
to reply to your mess.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I want, I said, okay, all right, So when I
sent it, I didn't add the second I'm not going
to give you all the details. We got an email
with ratings information that was positive.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Hey, you guys did great, right.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Yeah, they did great, and but it was good enough
that they see seed like management up the.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Food chain, like big bosses.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Yeah yeah, So so they write like hey, and so.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
They said that, and admittedly I kind of glanced at
it initially, and then I was distracted.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I was doing something else, and I'm like.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Yeah, I should probably it would be nice to probably
answer that. And because I have no filter sometimes no filter,
I said, looking forward to my jelly of them here
you go looking forward to my to that Jelly of
the Month membership, and I left offers and I wanted Ross, listen,
(31:37):
go ahead.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
What we're doing this is because we have not talked
about this, so obviously obviously you're making a Christmas vication
joke about not receiving a bonus but Jelly of the
Month for great work being in the matings. So I
was going to reply to yours. If you want, I
will kidnap Maynard. Just let me know.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Oh, I was gonna go. I thought you're one of
the gifts that keeps oneing games. Now you're gonna go.
You're gonna lean in.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
You kidnapped the boss if you want me to.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Yeah, I would have so much respect for for you.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Hey, Maynard and I go back like decades, so he yeah, yeah,
I don't everybody to be clear, Maynards.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
I guess Maynards one of the big bosses on this email,
and Ross knows him so like he would probably get that.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I talked with Maynard. He seems pretty hyptotic.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
But anyway, I raided your email and I really what
my reply would be, and I assessed the situation. I said,
I'm just not going to reply yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
So there you go. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Meanwhile, at the City of Raleigh, this guy, I don't know,
he's parked his car wrong and he might progress him,
but I don't know. I don't and I don't wish
that ApoB. I know people work for the City of
Raleigh or you know, functional people. But there's a reason,
there's a reason.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Parks and wreck exists. You guys know this, right.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
What I'm causing going away is the number of people
in the that work in like local government. Now, there's
a lot of them or hip to it, right, and
they're big complainers about people they work with. But like
you realize that show's making fun of you, right, He
probably thinks CNN ambushed him, and in reality, basically CNN
and you, Representative Goldman are running from a bear and
(33:14):
they tripped you.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Okay, that's what happened. CNN is just as liable for
this garbage.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
But other than that, I'm just we're just kind of
spitball in this morning because there's just so much dumb
stuff and I got all this carryover stuff, so I
I let me let me get a little more back
on the more focused, back into the playbook, so to speak. Okay,
what on God's Green Earth are you doing on a
(33:41):
press junket?
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Right? So when a movie's coming out, we get pitched.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
I get pitched, and I get all the age, not
maybe not the biggest, biggest ones all the time. But
if I open my email right now and I scrolled down,
I could find a pitch from one of the companies
wanting to get actors or somebody surrounding a project. A
lot of times it's a TV show. If there's a
reality show where there's a character from North Carolina, a
(34:06):
person from North Carolina on there, we get pounded with interviews, so, oh,
you want to interview Survivor number twenty or the guy
on the barbecue thing. And don't get me wrong, I
watched that barbecue show on Netflix.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
It's very good. I don't know why I watch barbecue shows,
but I find it fascinating. It's very good. I can't
remember what it's called right now, but.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
And there was a guy from North Carolina on last season,
and I think I got a press release a day
from whoever was their marketing people. But the point is
the reason you're doing that is not just to annoy
me in my inbox, but to build interest in your
project so that people come and they go and they
watch it or consume it, and you make money. That's why,
(34:49):
and that's why you hire an agency. That's why you
have marketing people. And then you cart your people around
or they call in and they do radio interviews or
in TV they sit there and and do these interviews.
And you want little snippets of that to percolate within
the media. What do you remember when Tom Cruise was
jumping up and down on Oprah's couch about how excited
(35:11):
he went. He was promoting a movie. It just turned
into another thing that's now kind of famous. So if
you're going to promote a brand or a project, that is,
by the way, not some new thing. It's something people
know something about. I have seen Wicked in a theater,
not a movie theater, in Lake Theater theater in New York.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
And I'm not a huge play guy.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
It was good.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
I read The Lime King was amazing on Broadway. I
got to say, I saw it not there. I saw
it in the San Diego but I saw the Broadway
one when I just happened to be down there. I
went to the show. It's crazy good. It's not necessarily
my cup of tea was stuff.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
But I don't have kids, so the Disney stuff, but
it was very entertaining.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
The Wicked Thing is obviously a play on OZ if
you don't know anything about it.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
But they then send out two different groups.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Okay, they send out Jeff Goldblooms in the movie, and
I don't know the other guy actor. When I watched,
I watched a little snippets of them, and they're doing
the interviews with all the whatever, and their Goldbloom's hamming
it up and he's talking about how he was forced
to learn to sing and he can actually sing, and
and and then they're, you know, they're cutting up with
(36:30):
some jokes and and what you're doing is you're building
likeability or maintaining likability for the characters. Are there people
who hate Jeff Goldbloom? Are there Jeff Goldbloom haters? I
don't know anyone who hates Jeff Goldbloom. I don't know
that necessarily he's the draw for everything. But if you
told me Jeff Goldblooms and some I'm like, cool, all right,
he remember when he saved the world from those aliens?
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Like, all right, And.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
It's it's very normal it's very vanilla. And then they
send out the woman who plays the Wicked Witch, who's
spoiler alert, I guess is not Wicked. It's all open interpretation.
I'm not going to ruin it for you. But they
send her out and she's already trashed her most loyal
fans or the most loyal fans of the of the
(37:15):
production Wicked, because I don't know if you know this.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
When they put the movie.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
When they put it wasn't even the movie poster, but
it was the one they initially put out. It has
a very unique look. And the look is you only
see half the face of the Wicked Witch and another
the other character is whispering into her ear, and you
just see the and you see the green skin on
the chin, and then the big black witches had and
(37:40):
for whatever reason, the woman who plays the who plays
the Cynthia what is it, arid whatever, who plays the
Wicked Witch in that one, it's the hat is up
and you can see her eyes.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
And somebody who is a giant.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Fan of Wicked, right the person would have been first
in line, is also somebody who can photoshop, and they
recreated the iconic. If you go to New York city
where Wicka was playing. These posters were all over the place.
They recreated it where they I don't know if they
cut off the hat from the other one or if
(38:17):
they moved. I'm not a photoshop guy, but they did
that as an homage to something they're a fan of.
And she, excuse me, she posted about how it's how
horrible it was, it was the worst thing that ever
happened to her, and it's racist and all this garbage,
and it didn't get a lot of press. So that
was a while ago. So now she's on this press junket.
(38:39):
You just have to look not insane. And every single
clip I've seen of the women's version of this press
junket is insane.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
It's first sitting there with her emotional support skeleton that
what is her name, Grande, Ariana Grande. The only thing
I know about her is she likes reportedly to sleep
with people's husbands. And she can sing, she's a good singer,
and and they both look insane.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
I might have gone to see this just you know,
if Marky wanted to see it, I could go see it,
and I would, you know, I'd watch it and whatever.
On a deeper level. I'm really tired of these movies
where it's like the Evil Origin Story where they did
the same thing now with the New Lion King with scar.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
I saw, I saw the trailer for that, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
The Wicked Witch of the West, and that there's this
messaging now where like there's no such thing as good
and evil and evil it's subjective and it's all due
to your matter of perspective. And I think that's all
a bunch of bull crap, and kids need to learn
that there is good and there is evil.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
This is why redemption it's very important, and redemption but
without there being defined good and evil, there can't be redemptable, right.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
And this is why classically, like I think like Tolkien
and C. C. S. Lewis are very important because you know,
the Orcs are orcs. The Orcs are evil. We don't
need to see the origin story or them have a
compassion because originally they didn't know bam it because they
represented evil and there was a reason for that. But
all that aside, I maybe would have seen this just
get up, Mark, you want to go. I'm gonna go
to my wife and we're gonna have a good date.
(40:11):
And it would have been fun. But after seeing this nonsense,
going back to what we said in the previous hour,
with the repudiation of all that woke the EI nonsense,
I no longer am going to see this movie purposefully
because you are a moonbat lunatic. And I can't even
get through these segments that you've been seeing all over
social media where they're at this press junket and it's
like they just seem absolutely insufferable. You seem like an
(40:31):
absolute lunatic. And now I'm not gonna go see your movie.
I'm purpose And then they all cry within a minute.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
I'm like, what are you doing? What are you crying for?
Speaker 4 (40:37):
Man?
Speaker 7 (40:38):
Feel and I have feelings and I can shove them.
You need to cry right now? You cry? Yeah.
Speaker 6 (40:46):
And someone said to me once the green was the
thing that I would love the most about a bird
that I want to stay green, but actually.
Speaker 7 (41:01):
Being green.
Speaker 6 (41:01):
Yes, I loved playing this character, but every time I
took the makeup of I loved.
Speaker 7 (41:06):
Who I was even more so I've come away feeling
really beautiful.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
Is it Dusty in here? Is it dust you are?
Speaker 6 (41:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (41:20):
You know what you've brought to this film and to
these characters.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
You've not no, but you know how, I don't even
know your name, ma'am. And you know what, I'm not
gonna look it up. I don't care. If I don't care,
I just want to be entertained. This is not about you.
That don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Actors, good actors and actresses.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
Can go in and they can give a really exemplary
performance to a character and even a character has just
been that's been played before. That's why the best example
of this I can tell you is True Grit. Both
True Both of the True Grit movies are really good
and are really good because of the lead male actors.
(42:03):
And then in Josh Allen's New Wife, is.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
That's who that is? Is that Hailey Steinfeld is in
the True Grit.
Speaker 3 (42:11):
I'm not sure if it is.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
But that the girl who played in that movie, right,
and and so then it becomes about them, but we
have to see the movie first. And her whole junket
is her crying Arianna heavy petting her, which normally it's
all super weird, Like if you were crying and it
was just two actresses, have you pet like I might
watch the clip with the sound off, but like, what
is what is happening?
Speaker 3 (42:33):
Right, like I can understand actors that are weird and
eccentric and like method acting and jump understand it. But
there's a line that once now you cross, I'm just
not going to support your product. And I don't care
how good the movie is, because I am tired of
this lunacy.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
What did h I'm very curious because you're essentially you're
not the target. Your wife's the target. She's right in
the demo?
Speaker 1 (42:54):
What did did did Marky see these clips? What does
she think?
Speaker 3 (42:57):
She is not? As far as I know.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
You should sit her down clockwork orange style and make
her watch it. Just so.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
I'm just curious how women react to that, because that's
who they're that's who they're messaging, and that's also the
reason why they're doing these very separate, very different vibe
press things right where they're sending the women out to
do interviews with uh and and by the way, how
insufferable are the interviewers in this thing, sir?
Speaker 1 (43:22):
They're crying.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
The one woman's crying too. How how do you think
this is helping? How do you think it's helping when
the snow white chick will keep her mouth shut for
five minutes? How are you, Disney, how do you allow
yourself to be surrounded by all of this and then
just throw a big burn money? And I guess that
(43:43):
speaks to go when you get into the upper echelons
to some of these companies where you may not be able.
Speaker 1 (43:47):
To purge all the DEI garbage?
Speaker 2 (43:51):
What was what was the video game that everyone was
hammering on last week? I could barely keep track of
all that.
Speaker 3 (43:57):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, Like, when it comes to
you know, movies or video games or anything, I'm just
not gonna support it financially at all anymore. And I
know there was a time where like, oh, I'm gonna
play these games on Twitch just so I can make
fun of them. I'm not gonna do that anymore.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
Is there a top level release this year that hasn't
had some of this garbage attached to it? Obviously some
have been it's just been pure calamity because it was
so much.
Speaker 3 (44:19):
There have been successful games like that. There's been The
Space Marines is one of them. There was that one
game out of China that was sort of like a
Dark Souls. They can't remember what it's called.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
Oh yeah, I saw somebody mentioned that in the video
I watched.
Speaker 3 (44:32):
And yeah, these games are attacked by like these like
games that I say it un quote journalists because like
they're not woke enough. But these are the games that
are doing, like really successful.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
And then they listen to those journey the idiot over
at Gizmoto or whatever, what's that? What's their video what's
their video game? Oh? No, it folded, didn't it?
Speaker 3 (44:49):
Kataku? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (44:51):
No, Kataku didn't fold one of them pulled it.
Speaker 2 (44:53):
Yeah, So you're listening to the guy over at Kataku
who's a moron, right and his and while he may
represent Kataku and the people who what ross? Do you
read Kataku for information or to hate?
Speaker 1 (45:07):
I did? I?
Speaker 3 (45:08):
Well, I don't anymore. I've completed anymoreged it from my brain.
But there was a time I would say, maybe like
ten plus years ago, where it was part of my
morning routine where I would come into work, I would
fire up the board, get everything ready, and then I
would spend fifteen twenty minutes like reading, you know, stuff
on video games on Kataku. And then so waita way
they went over the edge and they were doing that
at work, of course, sure was. We were talking about
(45:28):
it now time we're talking about it now, so apparently
it's work related.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
Well, I mean this one you that's a that's the
long game and it worked out for you. So yeah, no, no, no, no, absolutely.
In fact, you're the one who sent me. When they
did the PS five review, you're like, oh my gosh,
look at this thing.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
And if you don't know they did a PS five review,
there wasn't about the PS five one of the biggest
console releases of what the decade, easily, and they decided
and they're main review to like whine about DEI stuff
and uh and I think they threw a darkfur in
(46:06):
there or something. It's like, what, how do the graphics look?
Speaker 3 (46:09):
It's like they're discussing like Red Dead Redemption too, and
like they bring in Rwanda or something.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Yeah, would you do it? What are you doing? Yeah?
They mix it in George Floyd Darfur. It was insane.
The thing was insane, just it and and and.
Speaker 2 (46:25):
People and and you know, and people went, oh, it's
the shut up and dribble mentality. Yes, and some of
that's okay, right, Look, every day I'm inundated with somebody
who doesn't feel that what I'm doing on the show
at that moment is what they expect from this show,
and I have to balance whether yeah, you know, maybe
I should kick into something else.
Speaker 3 (46:46):
But I mean there's certain segment of people they will
they want everything to be political, even if they're hate
listening against when it comes to sports and entertainment or
movies or video games, whatever you find for your leisure recreation. Yeah,
these things. Once upon a time were sort of separated
from politics, a way to escape these things, and now
(47:09):
it's almost impossible to do that. So when you have
something that comes out that is actually separated from politics,
people are going to be drawn towards that.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
And then they they go, oh, well, let me learn more,
and then they and I.
Speaker 7 (47:20):
Have feelings and I can shove them. And if you
need to cry right now, you cry. Yeah, And.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
I'm watching this and the only thought in my head is.
Speaker 3 (47:37):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (47:38):
I'm just screaming at the damn.
Speaker 4 (47:39):
You know.
Speaker 3 (47:39):
The more I see that hacka Dance is stupider. It
looks the first time, I was like the first time,
I love the audio. Yeah, the first time, I'm like,
oh that's so, that's looks cool. It looks impressive, and
then like it is cool, like you know, I went
to McDonald's and they gave me the wrong order and
I broke out the hockey dance or whatever. Yeah, that's
just dumb.
Speaker 1 (47:56):
Dude, it is it is. It is cool.
Speaker 2 (47:59):
You know, I went to you know, I went to
Australia right when I was a kid. I got to
go to Australia when I was a kid. Uh and
we uh they and my grandfather was a college professor
and so he had there was a thing with professor
exchange kind of thing with one of the universities there,
and so it afforded me this opportunity. And and I'm
I would have much rather gone to Australia when I
(48:21):
was older, because it looked like the people who were
having a lot of fun were mostly doing adult stuff.
But we we went to one of the it's not
the same necessarily, it's but it's memory and then the
Aboriginal dance thing there and pretty cool. You ever see
like in the Samoa the dances that they do, right,
(48:42):
that's that's interesting stuff. Not on the not on the
floor of the house as much. But you know, whatever,
this but that's a politician. I expect that this is
a woman who's purporting that she wants to entertain me,
and I'm just like, no, I'm out, I got I
got no intro, and I'm somebody or you're somebody who
(49:02):
would have been receptive based on your wife wanting to go,
you would have gone, what is it? So that's what
thirty bucks down the drain for the for the company
that produced this absolute insanity. All right, well the insanity
doesn't stop there. We got it in droves coming up.
Speaker 1 (49:20):
Just hang on, No, it's not a BUCkies. Wait wait wait,
you can drop your kids? Well, now, I would just
still start that.
Speaker 3 (49:26):
I would assume somewhere in the BUCkies there's like a
daycare center somewhere.
Speaker 4 (49:30):
So.
Speaker 1 (49:32):
There's no way to go to all of the corner
of the store in a lifetime.
Speaker 3 (49:36):
It's impossible.
Speaker 8 (49:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:37):
Yeah, by the way, uh this uh it was not
a BUCkies and her she's got three kids.
Speaker 1 (49:46):
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (49:46):
Uh she got five year old, three year old and
a four month old what was four months old? I
guess you could pretty much drop a four month old
off anywhere and they'll still be there, right unless some
weirdo happens along, like where are they gonna go? Yeah,
if the youngest is four months old, just drop them
off of the gas station.
Speaker 1 (50:07):
But I can understand that.
Speaker 3 (50:08):
So she had a baby four months ago and she's
already at like, hey, I'm going to drop the baby
off at a gas station to hook up with a dude.
She's already at that point of needs, that.
Speaker 1 (50:17):
Needs, she got needs.
Speaker 2 (50:19):
And again I'm not a parent. You can hook up
in front of a four month old, can't you, or
at least with them in the vicinity, like in another room.
It's not like your it's not your twelve year old's
going to walk in on you and be scarred for life.
Speaker 1 (50:30):
Like four months.
Speaker 2 (50:31):
I don't know what the hell is going on. So
I don't know, don't know, but don't do that apparently.
All right, Sorry you send me that link? What the
what is wrong with people?
Speaker 6 (50:46):
All right?
Speaker 2 (50:47):
Hey, speaking of kids, if you haven't done your Christmas
shopping yet, have I got something for you.
Speaker 9 (50:58):
My name's Ashley, and I'm excited to talk to you
about a project we've been working on at the National
Center for Gender Spectrum Health called My Gender Dolls.
Speaker 1 (51:06):
Wait, there's a national there's a National gender spect Okay.
Speaker 9 (51:15):
These dolls were designed by transgender and gender diverse artists
They are intended to be a therapeutic tool for transgender
and gender diverse kids to explore how they see themselves
or how they'd like to see themselves in terms of
gender identity and gender expression. The my Gender dolls are
made up of multiple layers, and the first of these
are the bodies. Because all kids should be able to
(51:37):
see themselves represented, we have lots of different options for
skin tones and body sizes. Along with the choice of bodies,
the my Gender dolls also include genitals. This is important
because kids can learn that all gender identities and gender
expressions are valid.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
By the way, I just want to point out I
don't have a problem with this may not be your
cup of tea. But if a company or or a
gender spectrum society or whatever the wherever she works, if
they want to produce these and put them on the
market and they get people to buy them.
Speaker 1 (52:09):
Whatever, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (52:12):
But what you have to understand as you read through
this and you look at the way in which people
you have, people who are like you know, we need
we need these in every school. We need all of
that stuff, and we need to have a mister potato
head genital situation going on so that we can, you know,
we can get them in there. And so that's where
it creeps into It's not just hey, I want you know,
(52:35):
it's like a black Barbie doll, right, who cares an Asian?
Speaker 1 (52:40):
But I don't.
Speaker 2 (52:40):
Nobody cares. Nobody really cares. What people care about is
that lunatic who went into Remember when they went into
Target and they found out that there was like fifty
normal Barbies or say normal regular barbies, old school barbies,
and there were only like ten black Barbies. And they
held a protest because Target didn't allocate the same amount
(53:02):
of shelf space. Target allocated the amount of shelf space
that they thought would be based on sales. I'm assuming
I don't know there's some weirdos up at Target, but
I know people work for Target Corporate.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
When I lived in Minneapolis. That being said, that's not
the thing here.
Speaker 2 (53:20):
But now you have something like this, and you're like,
let's go ahead and figure out how we can essentially
get taxpayers.
Speaker 1 (53:26):
To buy a bunch.
Speaker 3 (53:27):
You know what you are.
Speaker 2 (53:27):
You're the Baltimore mayor, remember in the mayor of Baltimore
who was ousted. She wrote a kid's book. I don't
even think she wrote it and then forced Baltimore schools.
They bought four what was it, four hundred thousand copies
of it and they were all and like most of
them were just sitting in a warehouse somewhere.
Speaker 1 (53:44):
That's where people have a problem.
Speaker 3 (53:46):
With this stuff.
Speaker 1 (53:46):
Okay, a bunch of you sent this to me, and
I'm just responding to it.
Speaker 2 (53:49):
If people want to make dolls in all shape, sizes,
colors and all of that, and there's a market for it,
then that's fine. But we're not going to do this
thing where we're uh forcing your kid in to have
this as part of their curriculum. That's that's where it
immediately jumps the shark on this.
Speaker 9 (54:08):
No matter how your body looks, there are lots of
different ways to be a girl, a boy, or anywhere
along a gender spectrum. Another layer to the dolls is
the internal reproductive parts. It is important for kids to
learn about what's on the inside of their bodies. Bodies
are amazing and there's so many different kinds.
Speaker 2 (54:34):
Is that how kids interact with dolls or action figures.
I have to go action figures. Let me uh, let
me go with that route in and play with dolls,
play with action figures. By the way, Ross, I don't
know how many g I joes you had another? Uh
do you ever have this stretchy do you remember the
stretchy wrestler?
Speaker 1 (54:49):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (54:50):
You can get them in like Hull Cogan all. By
the way, I saw a dude who looked exactly like
Hull Cogan yesterday.
Speaker 1 (54:57):
I mean maybe it was, yeah, that there was.
Speaker 2 (55:01):
It was just enough off that I knew it wasn't.
But I mean the look, the look, and I I didn't.
I was like, if he comes over here, I'm a
how do I not say brother? If he talks to me?
It would be subconscious. But that's how that's how kids
play with dolls. And by the way, I didn't look
like any of the I didn't look like the uh
my uh uh the uh uh one of my why
(55:25):
Conan I had the Conan.
Speaker 1 (55:26):
I'd like all the Conan stuff too, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (55:28):
My grandmother got me that I don't look like Conan
the Barbarian when I was eight, Okay, but I was
still able to feasibly put together a battle plan to
entertain myself.
Speaker 3 (55:37):
I mean, yeah, I didn't look like he Man right
or but or Haul Coogan, But I knew he was
a kid. I was like, that's pretty badass, and I
would like to be like that someday. And then I
incredibly disappointed because it never you go.
Speaker 2 (55:47):
Jumping off the back of the couch with that Oh yeah,
yout your mom's screaming at you.
Speaker 1 (55:52):
What are you doing? I'm coming off the top ropes. Maham,
mind your business.
Speaker 9 (55:57):
Let's keep layering. Oh we all have to get dressed.
Gender expression is our well.
Speaker 2 (56:06):
Judging from my sister's buckets, by two sisters with their
bucket of barbies, none of them had to be dressed.
Speaker 1 (56:11):
They were always naked for some reason, because they lose
the damn clothes.
Speaker 9 (56:14):
Oh way of telling the world how we want to
be seen. My gender dolls have a lot of clothing
and style choices. Kids learn that, regardless of gender identity,
they can express themselves in lots of ways. Every article
of clothing and accessory works with all sizes of bodies.
Speaker 2 (56:31):
I just can't you know how kids are really able
to grasp exactly what you're saying. By the way, because
again my beef is not if somebody wants to make this,
sell it and see if it works, it's kids already
have this amazing thing that sadly we drift away from
it as we grow older, and that's the ability to
imagine whatever they want. Stupid stuff kids imagine. I remember
(56:55):
this sounds, this is going to sound the dumbest thing ever.
I remember thinking that a way that I could screw
with my sisters was to.
Speaker 1 (57:04):
Make them think that.
Speaker 2 (57:05):
I don't know how to describe this, it's just one
of these weird kid memories you have. I was convinced
I could convince them that there was.
Speaker 1 (57:12):
A train in a cave.
Speaker 2 (57:13):
And I'm not gonna get all the details for it,
but like it was pure imagination fuel. And then we
had I think we just threw rocks at them or something.
But the point, I told you, it's dumb. But the
point was like kids are perfectly capable of imagining whatever
you want.
Speaker 3 (57:28):
Imagination is one thing, but I'm really tired of this
like belief that kids have this un understanding, this otherworldly
understanding of existence, where it's like you need to listen
to the kid, because they really know. Listen, listen. Kids
are stupid, and kids are dumb, and kids are clay.
There's a reason you have to warn children not to
(57:48):
go into the van that has free puppies and candy.
Because kids are dumb and they're gonna believe whatever you
tell them. That's why do you think Tiger would there wasn't. Well,
you're telling me there wasn't. There's no candy, there there's
no do not go in the van, Please do not,
please do not. But do you think Tiger Woods would
have become Tiger Woods if his dad didn't put a
golf club in his hands at the at the age
(58:10):
of like one year day old or whatever.
Speaker 1 (58:12):
He was on n carr Leno or something chipping better
and I'll ever chip in my life when he was like.
Speaker 3 (58:17):
Four, right, because where he had the influence of his
parents who are trying to get him into something because
his dad enjoyed it. He was living vicariously through his son,
and it just happened that he actually ended up having
some talent and it worked out a little bit, you know.
And it goes back to the dinosaur things that people
bring up, the dinosaur thing, because it's the thing that
parents go through. At some point, your kid is gonna
be pretending to be a dinosaur, and he's gonna say
(58:40):
I am a dinosaur, And it is your role as
a parent to say you cannot be a dinosaur. That
is complete lunacy. You are a boy or you are
a girl. And I'm tired, once again, going back to
what I said in the previous segment with an hour ago,
I'm tired of the lunacy man and a lot of Just.
Speaker 1 (58:53):
Let kids be kids.
Speaker 2 (58:54):
Your biggest concern should be that they don't pick a
stupid dinosaur, right like you're.
Speaker 3 (59:00):
Yeah, you don't want to be a stegosaurus.
Speaker 6 (59:01):
Man?
Speaker 2 (59:02):
Come on, wh what I don't even know you. We're
dropping you off at the cat station. I'm done with you,
so right.
Speaker 1 (59:09):
No, oh your t rex good. I'm glad my kid's
a winner. There you go. All right.
Speaker 2 (59:14):
I even take pterodactyl because they can fly, even though
they're not the most aggressive.
Speaker 1 (59:19):
Now, I don't give you the big dumb one.
Speaker 3 (59:20):
It just comes out.
Speaker 1 (59:21):
He's head in the lake and there's leaves on it
when it comes up. You know, if your kid picks
that dinosaur, get a DNA test.
Speaker 2 (59:30):
I'm sorry, just impugned your wife, all right, seb forty five,
Race Stage A Third Channel.
Speaker 1 (59:36):
Yeah, it's a parent.
Speaker 2 (59:37):
You just don't want your kid when he pretends to
be a dinosaur to pick a stupid dinosaur, right, correct?
Speaker 1 (59:42):
You want a winner dinosaur?
Speaker 10 (59:44):
Yeah, you want to go Toronto Saurus rex. You don't
want to be a dactyl, right, I.
Speaker 1 (59:49):
Even take pterodactyl because they can fly.
Speaker 3 (59:51):
Imagine imagine your kid choosing a vegan dinosaur like a vegetarian.
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (59:56):
Yeah, you take him to the fire station, put him
in that little bin thing where you dropped.
Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
Yeah, just not Barny. Right.
Speaker 10 (01:00:02):
There's no purple dinosaurs nor none at all.
Speaker 1 (01:00:06):
Advice.
Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
I don't know wherever you drop your kids off because
it picks a stupid dinosaurs. Should be inside today because it's.
Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
Yeah, it should be yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (01:00:14):
And even seeing snowfall reports a lot of it out
of the triad did We talked yesterday that if we
had a dusting or a little bit more Bewst and
the further west that you went.
Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
And obviously in and around Raleigh and Durham.
Speaker 10 (01:00:29):
And Sanford and Feva there were a few flurries and
snow showers. Don't see any official reports, but some areas
we did dust the ground. But you get out in
near high Point in Greensboro Winston Sound, half an inch
to an inch of snow overnight. Now looks like a
lot of that's starting to go away in the mountain.
There's still some flurries and snow showers, but cold. As
you had mentioned, KC. As the chill sticks with us,
(01:00:50):
briefly milder and then colder once again, another cold shot
coming in as we go on through this week. Next
week looks a little bit better. So today we're clearing
it out. We come mostly low forties, mainly clear. Tonight
low to mid twenties, some areas may get into the teens.
And then to tomorrow, yeah, yeah, we may get closer
(01:01:12):
to fifty degrees, so mid upper forties for daytime highs tomorrow,
then milder tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (01:01:17):
Low to mid thirties.
Speaker 10 (01:01:18):
Thursday, sunshine into the fifties with the gusty breeze, and
that breeze will go northwest. It'll start in the morning southwest,
and once it flips around, that's when you know the
next front's coming in and we're back in the little
mid twenties for Friday morning. Saturday morning, some of us
could sneak into the teens, especially from the triad west,
and then recovering after a high close to forty Friday
into the forties and then the fifties as we go
(01:01:40):
through the weekend, with a chance of rain on Monday.
Next week does look milder, casey, so there's cold air
sticking around for the next couple of days. We do
go up a little bit by Thursday, but back down
and then back up starting. I'd say about Sunday we're
back above fifty and then maybe closer to sixty with
that rain coming in on Monday.
Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
All right, well there you go. Just all sorry, bad news,
Thank you, sir, appreciate it. Yeah, we talk in an
hour and.
Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
We will be right back. Thanks for hanging out with
us this morning. Eve.
Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
And though we're just basically wandering, it's what I do.
So let's see. Yeah, so we're talking. We're talking about
the dolls. Ross and I were having a conversation off
the air.
Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
Here's the thing. And and again I don't have kids,
but I was a kid, and it's not.
Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
Like educational things weren't part of children's entertainment toys, right,
But I'm just sure a lot of the toys that
we had, what was it spirograph, the thing with the
like you know, the cog wheels and the pen on
the screen.
Speaker 1 (01:02:38):
And I love that damn thing.
Speaker 2 (01:02:40):
There's math to be learned there, there's there's all sorts
of stuff, but it was. It was, but the first
and foremost you had to You had to have the
kid want that and want to interact with it or
to watch the show. Sesame Street was poppling some of
the most educational programs when I was a kid. Mister
(01:03:00):
Rogers was incredibly educational.
Speaker 3 (01:03:02):
Mister Rogers was great because he would do these science
experiments and he would have the kids do them. But
then he would like like, hey, you guys, go over. No, no, no,
mister Nuchols, No no, no, that's mister Wizard. Yeah, mister Wizard. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
Yeah, Like mister Wizard was great.
Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
I was, you know how jealous I was those three
punks whoever would show up that day got to mix stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:03:19):
To make smoke.
Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
Right.
Speaker 3 (01:03:20):
Well, he's hiding behind the lead shield and something, which
is why there's always new kids.
Speaker 1 (01:03:24):
Yeah, and there's only one mister Wizard's one thing.
Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
I really do you think one day we're going to
find out that mister Wizard like ten thousand dead kids
and it's a giant scandal.
Speaker 3 (01:03:34):
That was never plays. No scandals with him or mister Rodgers,
please leave them alone. One thing I remember, though, when
when Lincoln was like super little and watching these cartoons
with him, is all of it is educational Now, like
every single thing is there ends up being some sort
of equation on the TV, or they break out into
a song about vowels. It's all sesame street now. Where
(01:03:56):
back in the day we had like G I. Joe
and ThunderCats and math, there were still things you could
learn from those. There were good moral tales, but it
wasn't like they were in the middle of a battle
and suddenly the numbers started dancing on the screen and
they learned about even in odds and because what would that?
That would be garbage and I missed that sort of
The only exceptions I when Lincoln was little that I
(01:04:17):
saw were like Peppa Pig, and I guess Bluie would
now be the example, and Pepa Pig was great because
there was none of that in your face educational stuff
all the time. It just gets old. I don't think
it's good for a kid.
Speaker 2 (01:04:30):
They're still shoe horned it into those shows now though,
like okay, why what was it Paw Patrol? Although they
tried to cancel Paw Patrol or at least one of them,
but yeah, it's all of them. And and so you
so now you're sitting a kid down, whether it's that
gender doll or any of the rest, and you're like,
we're gonna learn and you're gonna like it. And my
question is, dude, what do you think that kid's doing
(01:04:51):
five seconds after you leave that kid alone with that doll.
It's it's not about whatever velcrow genitals are on the
thing at that moment. They're gonna make cup whatever narrative
in their head they want. That's their best friend, that's
their their whatever, that's their their cousin, or that's, uh,
my doll has superpowers and now I do too. Whatever
goes to a kid's head, and it's just literally the
(01:05:13):
doll existing is all that they needed to go in
that direction. But are they gonna want to if they
feel like they're gonna get it's a lesson every.
Speaker 1 (01:05:21):
Time they sit down with it. No, they want to
play with fun stuff. And that's why you got to
sneak it in. It's why you sneak vegetables into stuff
you make for your kids. Don't tell them about it.
You put you know, you put.
Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
Green beans in something that they like and they might
actually eat it if it's covered up enough. You put
a playfull of green beans in front of a lot
of kids not touching that. So and we've just we
we've lost the plot man on some of this stuff.
So we will see and that and that's why you
then have to do things like go and you like,
every school system should buy one of these dolls so
(01:05:56):
for their educational purpose.
Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
Kc O Day Radio program. It's funny. I just saw
I just saw this email. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
I was distracted by other stuff. So we were I
mentioned we mentioned that story about this woman who left
her three kids at a gas station to go hook up.
One of them was four months old, by.
Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
The way, So.
Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
I'm I am hoping those kids do not go back
to that woman. Uh at what at this time, But
we'll see what the state of Oklahoma does. That's where
that happened. And one of our listeners sent me an email.
I'll summarize it basically, and I'm sure this. I assume
this has to be a something that crosses through a
parent's head at some point, do you, like, you know,
(01:06:39):
Stanhope does a whole bit about this, almost none of
which I can repeat right where he's talking about all
the reasons he doesn't have kids, and they range from
the absurd, like you know, I've left ice cream in
the car, I'd leave a kid in there.
Speaker 1 (01:06:52):
But that's got it.
Speaker 2 (01:06:53):
I'm assuming that's a thought that goes through a parent's
head just terrifies you, just like forget your kids somewhere.
Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
Even though that sounds like you couldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
So this guy and his wife, they both they were
both driving, and apparently they had they have six kids.
Well that's why you have six kids, sir, You could
afford to leave one somewhere.
Speaker 1 (01:07:11):
So they have six kids.
Speaker 2 (01:07:12):
And it was a situation where there's two vehicles filled
to the brim, his wife or her vehicle, him and
his and I guess there's soccer kids, the kids' friends
or whatever. And they stopped it and it sounds like
it was a sheets they stopped at and they everyone
went in and grabbed all this stuff. And then they
were getting down the road and his wife called him
and he's like, hey, do you have our kid? Because
(01:07:34):
he had been right and and then immediately you're just
flipping U turns, I guess at that point. But when
they found him, he was in there trying to get
one of the sheets people or the gas people to
make him the the the ice cream thing that you
see when you walk in on the right, So he
probably didn't even notice.
Speaker 1 (01:07:49):
But yeah, man, you have right ross ever crossed your
mind you.
Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
Were worried about just leave Lincoln somewhere maybe when you
were just when you were I assume these are thoughts
that crossed through somebody's head when and uh during gestation, right,
because you don't you don't know what you're in for
on that first kid. But it's that old meme though, right,
if you're the if you're the uh, you're the oldest,
Like I'm the oldest. I couldn't get away with anything.
My brother the youngest. That kid, he basically had to
(01:08:15):
raise himself. My mom's like, hey, you're gonna go play
with the rusty tools.
Speaker 3 (01:08:18):
Yeah, have fun, we're over. He's like super attentive because
we didn't want to be like one of the stories
that we would read on this show, right, Like we've
done so many of these stories that it's ingrained, like hey,
let's not do that.
Speaker 2 (01:08:27):
Yeah, yeah, And so I I thank you for the email.
I don't why you'd admit that, sir, that stupid look.
Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
I get it, I get it.
Speaker 2 (01:08:36):
And you put that on the internet, though, and there'll
be a bunch of people who are like, I would
never do that, who are probably always also secretly awful people.
Speaker 1 (01:08:45):
But uh, and so I'm not gonna judge you.
Speaker 3 (01:08:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
And that sounds perfectly like, I get that's the home alone.
You just did the home alone. It's okay, you got
your kid. Did he get ice cream?
Speaker 1 (01:08:56):
Though?
Speaker 2 (01:08:56):
I want to know you got to get him the
ice cream at that point, right, just even if he
doesn't understand why you're buying.
Speaker 3 (01:09:02):
An I mean, I I told you the story before
about how my dad lost me at the Kmart.
Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
Oh I got lost to it a k You and
I have commiserated about this, both being left with Yah.
Speaker 3 (01:09:12):
It was I can't now, I can't remember. I was
gonna say Kmart. It could have been a James Way though,
well I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:09:17):
Think mine was a k Mart. It was the Wyoming.
There's a even that they have a Wyoming version of that, like,
but anyway, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:09:23):
Mine was the same Prince James Way, and I lost
my dad and I went up to the front of
the store and I'm like and it was terrified. I'm like, yeah,
I've completely lost my father. I don't know where he is.
And they had to go on the loud speaker like, hey,
we're looking for this kid's parent. And my dad comes
trucking down the lane like sweating profusely. You could tell,
you know. He was like completely nervous and stuff right, like,
(01:09:43):
oh my god. And we are leaving and he was like, hey, hey, hey,
don't tell your mom. No, we're we're leaving. We were
walking out and he puts his eyes and say, hey,
do you want a toy or something? And I'm like, yeah, yeah,
I do, yeah, yeah. So I ended up getting it.
Was my favorite toy ever. It was the mask toy.
It was the green motorcycle that turned into a helicopter.
Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (01:10:03):
He was amazing. My dad bought it. And my dad
as they were walking out with the box, I'm super happy,
He's like, hey, do me a favor. Yeah, now that
I brought you this present that you want, do not
tell your mother about that?
Speaker 4 (01:10:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:10:15):
I never did. My mom has no idea that ever happened.
Speaker 1 (01:10:20):
Well, now she does I'm gonna call her be like, hey, hey,
you want to hear some stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:10:25):
But looking back is like now, being a parent, I understand, Hey,
my dad was probably terrified of not only losing his kid,
but also the reaction right from from the mom. Yeah please, yeah, yeah,
I'm gonna buy you whatever you want to shut up.
Speaker 1 (01:10:38):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (01:10:39):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (01:10:39):
Your dad then literally committed bribery, yeah, to soothe the
soul man, and you ended up with a toy. The
problem with that is, and I guess it didn't cross
your I don't know how old you were.
Speaker 3 (01:10:50):
Uh, you're looking back now and understanding, because you know
we we weren't like, you know, a family of means right,
like yeah, you know. So it was like that was
a lot of money for my dad to do at
the time, like a random present like that, because we
would only get amazing presents like that on birthdays and Christmas.
That was everything that would just happen. So I don't
know how he explained it to my mother when we
(01:11:11):
got back home. I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
Yeah, and I was gonna say, well, one like the
pre the gift was not for you, it was for him.
Let's just be honest. Right, that's his. But the other
thing is too, if you're a devious little turd, you
could have been like, I'm gonna run away every week.
It was scary, man, I mean that's scary. I was terrifying.
I do in my mind.
Speaker 2 (01:11:32):
This is part of this is the mall in Casper
in Casper, Wyoming where this was. But we were at
the one of the stores that on the end of
it again not a camar I can't remember what. It's
not called that anymore. He got absorbed I think by Macy's.
But uh, and it like like you're sitting there, sitting
there at the mall. It's just I was for what
(01:11:54):
I was like excited because I was just sitting there
getting the screw arounds. I don't know if I was
in the toil or where I was, but like, I
don't remember noticing, and I I remember the whole situation
and not realizing what had happened, just that my mom
was losing her crap.
Speaker 1 (01:12:09):
Man. It never and it was years later that had
nawned on me.
Speaker 2 (01:12:13):
I'm like, she probably thought I was getting sex trafficked
for like whatever's going through her head, just the worst
things you can think of. So all right, Well, thank
you for the email, sir, But yeah, you're you're fine, okay.
Are all six of your kids you know where they are?
Speaker 1 (01:12:27):
All right? Well, you're good.
Speaker 2 (01:12:30):
That's about all you can expect from people. All right
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
Speaker 1 (01:12:37):
Let's see here. Oh yeah, we're all right. So I
got a little more audio. I'm gonna pay. Let's go ahead,
hit the brake.
Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
We'll we'll hit it early today and come back and
we're gonna have to again do rapid fire, because what
are you gonna do? Including AKJ A k JP, Jean Pierre,
who both Ross and I were very interested on the
show yesterday as to what the White House presser would
look like. Well, we have our answer, and it basically
(01:13:05):
is now the talking points that they're going to go
with on this. I've seen that everyone's kind of fallen
in line, so we'll lay that out for you.
Speaker 1 (01:13:11):
We'll do it next. Hang on, yeah, Jake, what's up?
Speaker 8 (01:13:15):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (01:13:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:13:16):
I had the experience tweety for the first time. Man,
I lost my son twice because of course something shiny,
but I was in.
Speaker 10 (01:13:22):
Charge of our two year old.
Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
I had to add my wife, where is our son,
and we'd see, have I not? How long have you
listened to the show, sir? I recognize your voice.
Speaker 4 (01:13:32):
I have I have to experience in order to hate it.
Speaker 2 (01:13:36):
I have warned I have a heike beef with Tweetsy,
but it's not tweetzy. There is an incident once when
I was driving the Blowing Rock. You know, you go
right by there on the highway and they I guess
it was super busy at Tweetsy, and I guess there's
parking on the other side. There's a little tunnel you
can walk through. I'm not fully clear on this, but
what happened is I in the in the distance, I
(01:13:57):
see these three kids across the highway, and if it
had been five seconds later, it'd be right.
Speaker 1 (01:14:03):
Where I was.
Speaker 2 (01:14:04):
And then I see right after them, I see the
parents who are losing their damn minds, and I'm just
like these kids so wanted to get over to tweets
you you They almost got hit by a car, so
that's why we just tweet see but you you went
you went there anyway, sir?
Speaker 3 (01:14:18):
Well I went there.
Speaker 10 (01:14:19):
I kind of dragged by my in law, but I
could beat that.
Speaker 11 (01:14:22):
We actually hit a deer, a mile up the road
from tweets see on.
Speaker 2 (01:14:24):
The way there.
Speaker 1 (01:14:25):
Well, I expect deer to run across the road. I
don't expect families.
Speaker 3 (01:14:29):
So yeah, well my my car was no.
Speaker 1 (01:14:32):
No, I'm sorry to hear that, sir.
Speaker 2 (01:14:34):
Yeah, I'm glad you hit a deer and not a kid, obviously,
but you know much better.
Speaker 11 (01:14:40):
But still it happened right in front of a cop.
Speaker 1 (01:14:42):
So car up hit an ELK, hit an elk.
Speaker 4 (01:14:46):
No, we hit it.
Speaker 3 (01:14:47):
We had We hit a big buck is what we hit.
Speaker 8 (01:14:49):
And it pore up the right front border panel and
all that jet.
Speaker 9 (01:14:53):
But I drove a home but it tired, kept golf.
Speaker 8 (01:14:55):
Flat on the way.
Speaker 1 (01:14:56):
That sucks. Did you guys have fun and tweets the
other than the the kid thing.
Speaker 7 (01:15:00):
Other than from the train getting in my eye?
Speaker 1 (01:15:04):
Yeah, well it's called tweety railroad, sir.
Speaker 3 (01:15:07):
I mean, and I don't but like, other than that, Yeah,
we had fun.
Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm surprised some moon bats haven't come and
try to shut down that.
Speaker 1 (01:15:16):
Train when we need one that runs on solar all right,
all right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:15:26):
Yeah, and I think about it, some new eco moon
batsy are you giving tweets you a pass?
Speaker 1 (01:15:33):
I'm kiddy. Look, it makes kids. That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (01:15:35):
Going back to all the other stuff we're talking about,
that kid doesn't That kid might be fascinated with trains
and fun and all, but he's fascinated with fun first
and foremost.
Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
Right, those are rides. That's food, that's that's craziness.
Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
That's why whenever we do these stories, whatever we do
these stories like I did I do that, it's an
impactful thing like that the kid Durham. I know I
bring this up a lot, but it's it's something that
impacted me because it's not just the story. You got
to think about the people involved in the mindset. So
that kid who got shot over some failed wrappers beef
(01:16:09):
thought he was going to get a snow cone. But
you were a kid and you heard you were gonna
get a snow co.
Speaker 1 (01:16:14):
How what was your daylight?
Speaker 2 (01:16:16):
How better did your day get knowing that snow cones
were in your future? Holy crap? And then you go
where we just get snow cones. There's gas station that
have and me scoop him and then he put the
syrup on behind the counter, and there was one guy
who was very stingy with the syrup. So you had
to like time it to make sure the woman who
(01:16:36):
worked there was the syrup because she's like, ah syrup
for days and not that guy who hates kids obviously
wouldn't give us enough syrup. That's kids thinking, that's kid's mindset.
So let's kind of turned into the theme of this show.
Let me, let me get back to this. So Jean Pierre,
we were looking to see, all right, so what's the
White House press briefing gonna look like? The answer is, well,
(01:16:58):
not really a briefing, more of a gaggle shot. There's
airplane noise and all the rest of that stuff. But
people just want to know what is the White House's
official position on this pardon stuff. After we ran the
super cut yesterday of Jean Pierre on four separate occasions
saying you to latterly that it wouldn't happen, how do
(01:17:20):
you square that?
Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
Well, let's go.
Speaker 3 (01:17:21):
I wanted to ask you, could those statements now be
seen as lies from the American people? Is there really incredibility?
Speaker 1 (01:17:27):
Is you here?
Speaker 8 (01:17:28):
Given now this announcement course of all, One of the
things that the President always believes is to be truthful
to the American people. That is something that he always
truly believes.
Speaker 1 (01:17:37):
By the way, that might who prep that might be
the biggest life she's ever told.
Speaker 2 (01:17:43):
Oh why is this thing screed? I'm sorry I hit
the wrong button there. We have to listen to her again.
Speaker 3 (01:17:47):
I wanted to ask you, could those statements now be
seen as lies.
Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
From the American people?
Speaker 3 (01:17:52):
Is there really a credibility?
Speaker 8 (01:17:55):
First of all, one of the things that the president
always believes is to be truthful to the American people.
That is something that he always truly believes.
Speaker 3 (01:18:03):
He changed this.
Speaker 8 (01:18:04):
Decision this weekend, so let's be very clear about that.
Speaker 3 (01:18:07):
He says it himself.
Speaker 5 (01:18:08):
Until soon, could the next round of you know, pardons
could come.
Speaker 1 (01:18:14):
I don't have a timeline for you.
Speaker 8 (01:18:15):
As you know, this usually happens towards the end, and
so the President is going through that process. So I'm
not going to get ahead of him, but you can
expect more announcements to come.
Speaker 1 (01:18:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:18:27):
Keith Oberman, that insane individual who it just shows you
how it shows you how.
Speaker 1 (01:18:39):
One can so.
Speaker 2 (01:18:42):
Destroy their brand Keith. Because everyone watched Keith Oberman on
Sports Center and loved the guy. I did that the
Berman Oberman all that era of Sports Center was amazing.
I don't recognize it now. And then Keith Oberman moment,
he's like, hey, you want to hear my thought on politics?
Speaker 1 (01:18:57):
You're just like, oh my gosh, that guy is insane.
Speaker 2 (01:19:00):
Yesterday was on was posting video after video demanding that
Joe Biden pardon.
Speaker 1 (01:19:06):
Are you ready for this? All Democrats?
Speaker 4 (01:19:11):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:19:11):
No, no, no, not all Democrats? And a why all
Democrats and not just all Democrats? Basically anybody who want
to pardon all the FBI wants to pardon.
Speaker 1 (01:19:22):
Like just so, I I what is that?
Speaker 4 (01:19:24):
Like?
Speaker 2 (01:19:25):
Millions and millions of pardons if you're just in DC,
and then how the hell many House in the any
but anybody in any lever of government? Uh, who's who's
a Democrat? He wants Joe Biden issue a blanket pardon.
Speaker 3 (01:19:36):
Listen to that.
Speaker 2 (01:19:37):
And by the way, this is another thought that crossed
my mind. I can remember if I mentioned this earlier
on the show.
Speaker 1 (01:19:42):
I said it to Ross. How long do you think?
Speaker 2 (01:19:47):
I don't think Hunter found out about that pardon At
the moment we did. They were just all together for Thanksgiving,
Like he had to tell his kid, if you're Hunter
Biden and your dad on Thursday told you on Sunday.
He was gonna to pardon you for everything you've ever
done for the last eleven years up to that day.
(01:20:08):
How do you not go on the most amazing, insane
bucket list crime spree I bought up.
Speaker 3 (01:20:14):
I'd be on some national treasure crimes.
Speaker 1 (01:20:17):
Yeah, be careful, you gotta be careful. They have to
be federal crimes.
Speaker 2 (01:20:21):
So like, if you're gonna go murder a bunch of hookers,
you gotta take them across the state line before you
murder them, pro tip, and and so it's a federal
but yeah, the world's your oyster do.
Speaker 3 (01:20:31):
Yeah, I'm stealing the Declaration of Independence. That's why I
got I'm taking a well, I guess it'd be my
dad into the caverns of Mount Vernon kidnapping. Nothing you
can do.
Speaker 1 (01:20:41):
Yeah, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (01:20:43):
Oh? Yeah, I see this piece of paper here. Oh,
you know, like the nickelback saying who who's photographed? Now
it's my pardon walking around. I'd been walking around just
punching people while I hold it up with the other hand.
Speaker 3 (01:20:53):
He'd be like the ultimate sovereign citizen, where.
Speaker 1 (01:20:57):
You can't do any federal crime. Yeah, you can't do
nothing to me. Did you'd be the first sovereign citizen
to work where it worked, right?
Speaker 3 (01:21:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:21:04):
The cops like, okay, you're you're driving.
Speaker 2 (01:21:07):
No, I'm traveling all right, all right, and I'm traveling
with my pardon for the last eleven You're free to go, sir.
Like it's it's incredibly sad story and there's so much
we don't know. But and you probably you probably heard
initially about this. So you have this guy in Hawaii,
(01:21:28):
his daughter who comes to Los Ange it comes to California.
She's a photographer, the young woman, she's doing her thing.
I think she's thirty, twenty ninth or as she's twenty nine.
When she they can't find her, disappears. Nobody's talked to her,
nobody knows where she went, and she had been in
(01:21:51):
I think she was in LA for a week, a
little less than a week.
Speaker 1 (01:21:55):
And then people are like, hey, what happened to Hannah?
Her name is Hannah.
Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
And dad's sitting there in Hawaii, and as you can imagine,
he's like, what happened to my daughter? And so he
he literally like just leaves everything in Hawaii and and
and comes and spends in an order amount of time
hunting around Los Angeles trying to find his daughter, and
(01:22:21):
sadly back on the eighth of November, I think it was, yeah,
here we go, eighth of November.
Speaker 1 (01:22:28):
She dumped her phone at some point, according to police,
and so that you know, now Dad's there, he's on
the ground, he's.
Speaker 2 (01:22:36):
Got people, there's rallies being held, signs fine hand a
last scene eleven eleven what what?
Speaker 1 (01:22:42):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (01:22:43):
And then tragically, after he spends a weeks looking for
his daughter, he he killed himself. That is, that's at
least the what police believe happened. He he died, and
they say they feel it's a suicide. Probably just like
(01:23:05):
my my daughter, my my my the light of my life.
Speaker 1 (01:23:09):
She went over and she went over to the mainland.
Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
She went to California and and and she just got
disappeared and how can I live with myself? And it's
so tragic. And the update is they just found out yeah,
she kind of she went to Mexico. Now they don't
know where she is in Mexico, but she they have
her crossing into Mexico because of course they film all
that stuff, so they sire they see her going through
(01:23:34):
Mexican customs and then you know, into into Mexico and
so it's like, did she go down there to party,
she meet a guy, gal, I don't know, whatever, and
it's like, how do you come back now?
Speaker 1 (01:23:52):
I mean, and I want to be very clear, I
don't know what happened her. Maybe she went to Mexico
just to have a little fun and something horrible happened
to her. So this is not me judging on it.
It's just the scope of this story.
Speaker 2 (01:24:03):
But if she went to Mexico because she just was
getting away from all of this and you know, some
met somebody or whatever it is, it gives me those
vibes of that guy. Remember that story we had before
we went on vacation where the guy pretended in Wisconsin
to die in a canoe accident and then went to
like Uzbekistan for some girl he met on some.
Speaker 1 (01:24:28):
Bridside or whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:24:29):
And he's just over in Uzbekistan and they're combing the lake,
his family's holding stuff, and then they find out, yeah,
he's just over there with this new girl who may
or may not exist, who the hell knows what he
found when he got there, And they're like, why don't
you come back? If you're that dude, how do you
come back? If you're this woman and you're in Mexico
and you just decide you want to be away. And
I don't know the full relationship, but this guy, the
(01:24:51):
dad went over and killed himself. He was so despondent
over not being able to find.
Speaker 1 (01:24:59):
His daughter, what happened to his daughter.
Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
The whole it's it's it's wildly tragic. So at this point,
at this point, that's, uh, that's that's what we know,
and that's just the latest little update. But that is
one of those stories that I'm following and I wish
it didn't exist for obvious reasons, but just absolutely heartbreaking.
Speaker 1 (01:25:21):
And again, maybe something happened to her.
Speaker 2 (01:25:24):
She just went down for, you know, to go party,
or I've I've literally crossed into Mexico when I was
in school in California to go party, which in retrospect
probably wasn't the smartest thing, but a lot of people
do that down there around Tijuana. So maybe, but also
maybe she went there and something bad happened, which unfortunately
(01:25:44):
sometimes happened. I don't know, but that whole thing is
just a gut punch when when when you read about it,
all right, I don't want to do that story next
to the other one.
Speaker 1 (01:25:56):
It can't be helped.
Speaker 2 (01:25:58):
Here's another crazy story on Do you guys know what
The Sarco pod is? Sarco, sar Co, all right, The
Sarco pod is this dude's invention. It's a suicide pod.
Speaker 1 (01:26:12):
And you know what it looks like.
Speaker 2 (01:26:13):
It looks like every space movie where somebody's like, all right,
we're going to Jupiter. We're gonna put you in stasis
for you know, eighteen months or whatever, and they get
in there and they lay down and then they wake
up in Jupiter, although in most of those movies not
all of them wake up.
Speaker 1 (01:26:28):
So spoiler. It looks like that.
Speaker 2 (01:26:31):
And basically you go in there, and the reason it's
a pod, obviously, is it wants to control the air
in there, or in this case, the lack of oxygen
coupled with an im mess amount of nitrogen and a
few other things and Bengo Mango, you you're suicided.
Speaker 1 (01:26:46):
So this guy builds this thing.
Speaker 2 (01:26:50):
It's a whole company, man, it's a whole company, this
Sarco thing in Switzerland, and this American woman, she's sixty four.
Speaker 1 (01:26:59):
She decides I'm out she had some immuno defire.
Speaker 2 (01:27:02):
I don't know exactly what she had, but so she
flies over there, and to do this, they hold the
pod to like a cabin.
Speaker 1 (01:27:11):
On the border of Germany and switch.
Speaker 2 (01:27:13):
They get a mountain chalet, set the thing up, They
put her in there, and and it is legal to
kill yourself in Switzerland and Germany and a lot of Europe,
and to assist people to do it more practically.
Speaker 1 (01:27:28):
But once it's done, then the.
Speaker 2 (01:27:30):
Authorities have to come and get the body and do
all that stuff. All right, So with that in mind,
I saw the story reported. I see the story reported,
and then there's a little nugget that's almost like an
afterthought in the initial reporting, and that was what Swiss
officials found. So they show up to get her body
(01:27:53):
and she's got strangulation marks on her neck. What the
heck happened there? Because again, this is is how my
brain works. According to forensic expert, the woman's neck injuries
were severe. Do you so if you're this guy, this
(01:28:14):
doctor Willett, doctor Willlette is the guy's name. Uh, And
there's there's several doctors, but will let is let's see,
he gives a recitation, he says, uh, this is what
he says happened. That two and a half minutes after
the procedure began, the woman appeared to experience severe muscle
cramp in a reaction he described as common and nitrogen induced.
(01:28:35):
Desks an alarm activated, YadA, YadA, YadA. She's still alive.
She's still alive, but she looks really dead. So there's
going over this.
Speaker 1 (01:28:42):
So they're standing outside the pod. But then they're like,
and then she and then she died.
Speaker 2 (01:28:48):
You just dumped all your life savings into building this thing,
and this is your trial run, and this is the
thing you literally did a press for release about, and
you put.
Speaker 1 (01:28:57):
That woman in there.
Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
You didn't help, You didn't you didn't go, oh well,
just this one time, and then we'll like, how how
crazy is that?
Speaker 9 (01:29:08):
Man?
Speaker 2 (01:29:10):
It clearly looks like I don't know how you get
the bruising and everything that goes along, Like if you
ever watched Law and Order, right, half the time somebody
died for strangulation.
Speaker 1 (01:29:20):
It's all bruised around their.
Speaker 2 (01:29:21):
Neck and stuff, and and that is a thing that
also happens with people who are strangled. Right, It's a
very violent thing. If so she's in her her go
to sleep pod and now she's got strangulation marks around
her neck. I feel like maybe your pod needs some updating.
It's not good at what it's supposed to do.
Speaker 1 (01:29:42):
At this point.
Speaker 2 (01:29:43):
Though Swiss authorities say they're looking into it now, the
doctors aren't saying anything, so who the hell knows. But yeah,
so if you were thinking of, i know, using one
of those, they haven't worked all the bugs out maybe,
So there you go, all right, eight forty three Ray
Stagic from the Weather Challenge to walk.
Speaker 1 (01:29:58):
And go and do the morning Good morning sir. Yeah, yeah,
it's one of those days.
Speaker 2 (01:30:06):
How do you you're college football guy? How do you
feel about a state? What's the what's Clemson Stadium's name?
Speaker 10 (01:30:13):
Oh gosh, well they call it Death Valley Memorial Memorial Stadium.
Speaker 1 (01:30:18):
Memorial Stadium. Do you like stadiums that have sponsored names
on them? We know college football?
Speaker 4 (01:30:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:30:24):
I known so North n C State. It's Carter Finley,
which is the name. Two people whose names uh at
different eras were attached to make this thing. And they're like, no,
we're gonna, we're gonna, We're gonna go out and get
a big old check for this thing.
Speaker 3 (01:30:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:30:40):
Well, I mean now they have to write I would
have been named after the park that is a Jason
to n C State the parks that uh Pulland Park
and Dix Park.
Speaker 1 (01:30:52):
I'm not making this up.
Speaker 2 (01:30:53):
We have Pulling Parking Dicks Park across the street from
each other, so we call it the Pulling Dicks Park
complex here right.
Speaker 1 (01:30:59):
Show they want to name the stadium that, I'm fine,
just that's just for the lines, just to hear, just
to hear.
Speaker 2 (01:31:07):
The sports center guys have to say, let's go to
Pula Dick Stadium and see what happened.
Speaker 1 (01:31:14):
Though they probably wouldn't have. Yeah, they wouldn't.
Speaker 10 (01:31:16):
Yeah, we're not that difficult, are we not.
Speaker 2 (01:31:21):
Every Saturday I get to get a little yeah, all right,
yeah we're talking be laughing about the weather probably.
Speaker 3 (01:31:26):
Not so well.
Speaker 10 (01:31:27):
Yeah, and maybe we'll talk a little bit more up
a Chilian Charlotte. You know, I'm gonna go acc first
the SEC that's in the dome so in Atlanta that
there's not gonna be a problems, even though to be
chilly there too, but uh, it's gonna be dry. The
Southeast gonna stay dry after this little bout of snow
we've had this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:31:44):
How about this one?
Speaker 10 (01:31:46):
Ain't a snowfall? Trinity, North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (01:31:48):
Want did you get a couple of pictures from some
of our listeners live a little on the other side
of Greensboro.
Speaker 10 (01:31:52):
So yep, yeah, and up to two and a half
in the mountains, uh fan or Elk, North Carolina. Uh
that's a near beach mountain four inches in eastern Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (01:32:03):
And this clipper comes through, and you know you don't
have to tell people where is Carolina? Is there another man?
Speaker 10 (01:32:11):
I don't know, Maybe there is. Any time I say,
like Kingston, New York, I always got to say Kingston,
New York because you know it's Kingston Africa.
Speaker 2 (01:32:18):
We know what happened on the show I made up.
I was making fun of West Virginia and I made
up the game of a town.
Speaker 1 (01:32:24):
A booger hole.
Speaker 2 (01:32:25):
I said, boo boo old West Virginia, right, just thinking
it was made up. As somebody said, there is it's
a freaking town, man, Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1 (01:32:33):
Yeah, it is a thing.
Speaker 4 (01:32:35):
I know.
Speaker 10 (01:32:35):
Can you can you imagine? But yeah, but most of
the snow flurries and snow showers are going east and
south now, and we'll get into some sunshine if you're
not in it already, and the chili numbers will continue.
I think we struggled today, I mean with numbers getting
maybe at are just above forty degrees tonight in the twenties,
low twenties at that for many of us, even some
teens around from the triad west near fifty. Tomorrow most
(01:32:58):
of us made upper forties and mostly and then Thursday
sunshine little bit fifties, but the gusty breeze will come
out of the northwest in the afternoon, and that's the
next cold front coming in. This one less moisture to
work with, but still colder by Friday morning, back in
the twenties. Cold Friday afternoon upper thirties to low forties,
and then back close to fifty on Saturday, into the
fifties on Sunday, a Sunday weekend coming up with the
(01:33:19):
chance of rain Monday next week. If you look at
the six to ten day does look milder, so I
don't have to worry about at least right now, any
snow to worry about. But it looks like we'll get
temperatures back close to or even above normal, which I
think is upper fifties, mid upper fifties, this tounny year.
Speaker 2 (01:33:34):
I just yeah, just we're gonna start doing all the
three thousand closures thing. Kids are gonna do school for
ten days because a single snowplay and nobody likes right,
all right, thank you appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (01:33:45):
We'll get a back chat with Jeff Bellinger next. Good morning.
Speaker 11 (01:33:48):
Casey stock started the new week and the month with
a mixed session. The now lost a little ground yesterday,
let the NASDAC and S and P five hundred posted gains.
Both closed a record HIGHS futures are narrowly mixed right now.
S and P futures are up one the Nasdaq and
Dow futures are slightly lower. Post election surveys by regional
(01:34:08):
Federal Reserve banks find that American companies are more upbeat
about their prospects. Anticipation of more pro business policies has
pushed sentiment to the highest level in years. The FED
surveys represent another chapter in the so called Trump bump
that started with the stock market rally.
Speaker 1 (01:34:25):
Manufacturers are especially bullish.
Speaker 11 (01:34:28):
More encouraging reports about the holiday shopping season. Mall operator
Simon Property reports, shopper traffic for Friday through Sunday was
up more than six percent from the same three days
last year. An Amazon executive told Women's Where Daily the
company had its biggest Black Friday ever, and Adobe set
late yesterday that Cyber Monday sales were running well ahead
(01:34:49):
of expectations. It is official a record number of people
flew over the Thanksgiving weekend. The Transportation Security Administration says
its screen nearly three point one million passengers on Sunday,
that top the previous record set back in July. And
the Casey convenience stores getting more competition from the big
grocery sellers Walmart and some supermarket chains, or opening smaller
(01:35:13):
format stores to cater to so called fill in shoppers
who buy just a few necessities at a time. The
Wall Street Journal says Whole Foods is among the latest examples.
It's planning to open smaller scale daily shops and urban
areas in a way to win over customers who can't
make it to a traditional Whole Foods market.
Speaker 1 (01:35:32):
Casey, you know what, I like those, But there's.
Speaker 2 (01:35:34):
One, there's like a mini one of those little mini
walmarts down by uh with the beach down there towards
tops them. I always popped in there, so it's a
lot better than going into a big old Walmart. All right,
thank you, sir, appreciate, Okay, have a good day. Absolutely
now they have and they have like one of those
mini Target Target. I mean, living in Minneapolis was weird
because Target like has been testing all different versions of targets,
(01:35:57):
and they always test them, like obviously the Twin cities
where they're headquartered and so like, and then the area
that I lived on the west side, where you have
like Minnetonka and Maple Grove and Plymouth and all that,
that's where they always put them. So like one day
there'd be like a subway sandwich sized shop that's also
a Target. As like five things. This is weirdness, man,
(01:36:18):
but I guess that's what they were all looking for.
So all right, a couple things. What happened in Greensboro
with that police cruiser. Have you guys seen this video?
I tweeted it out yesterday.
Speaker 1 (01:36:29):
Scroll down a little. So you have a Greensboro PD.
Speaker 2 (01:36:34):
SUV cruise, a squad car or a squad cruiser or
whatever they call it, that is clearly parked on the
railroad tracks and that appears to be Jamestown Road right there.
Speaker 1 (01:36:43):
I've driven over these tracks.
Speaker 2 (01:36:46):
And in the video you see the officer scrambling to
get away because he's on the railroad tracks. And here
comes the Carolinian or whatever, the Piedmont or whichever one
of the trains it is, and as you guys probably know,
the train wins as they do, and it just smoked.
Speaker 4 (01:37:01):
This.
Speaker 1 (01:37:01):
This was overnight two nights ago. I saw the video
yesterday after the show. How does that happen? I like,
I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (01:37:11):
And he had the car parked with the lights on
like an officer would do if he was, you know,
there was a call, there was an accident something like that.
Speaker 1 (01:37:18):
But I don't understand why you would park on the
railroad tracks.
Speaker 2 (01:37:21):
And you can clearly see he realizes that he done
ft up, so to speak, because here comes the train
and that's like I was trying to think, but like,
and the only the only thing where I'm I'm like, okay,
well maybe that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (01:37:37):
What was a woman tied to the tracks?
Speaker 4 (01:37:39):
Like?
Speaker 2 (01:37:39):
What was there a mustachioed villain fleeing in the distance,
because otherwise I don't understand that. Now, the City of
Greensboro's out a squad car
Or as we're calling it a countdown to Christmas.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
We're like, you're we're like an advent calendar for guys
who want more time off. So uh yeah, glad to
have you along love this time of the year, not
the temperatures. We'll have race stage a con a little
later to answer first crimes. Why is this thing being
a jerk today?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Is your problem? There we go. My next gen is
just crazy lately weird, weird, weird.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
You know what else is weird? I was, I was
reading a few different stories. You know, after an election
is when the various political parties, legislative branch, obviously state legislatures,
even locals, there's a lot of reorg going on, so
you get minority leaders, majority leaders, just different people in
(00:52):
charge of different things, and it's.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
A little wonky.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Most people other than who's the Speaker of the House,
who's the head of the Senate, and then maybe at
a local leveled as well, don't really pay attention. But
it's interesting because what you're looking at is you look
at how a political party did, and then you look
to see, based on those results, what they decide to
(01:21):
do with leadership, platforms, just a variety of things and
what is increasingly becoming wild to me is and this
is not a victory lap I'm honestly wondering why are
Democrats not making changes? And in some cases they are,
(01:42):
like in the Senate, Dan Blue will not be the
Senate Minority Leader, but then they picked another senator from
Wake County and it's like, because I don't know if
you know this, And there's only one stat that you
need to retain from.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
The last election, not necessarily.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
North Carolina is interesting in how national races versus state
races played out, and there's a lot of reasons for that,
but the overall temperature of the electorate.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Is clearly not enthused.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
And the big takeaway is it feels like the Democrat
Party has yielded the everyman. That's what this that's what
this election looks like. I know you don't want to
admit it, and and and here's how I will prove it.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Okay, do you know?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
And I'm sure a lot of you do, But this
is this is the only stat if anybody wants to
get into a debate about things that I think should
and and if and if I was a Democrat Party official,
this is the stat that would haunt me at night. Okay,
you ready, there are I don't remember the exact stop.
(03:05):
It's like three thousand counties in the United States, across
all fifty states, three thousands, say three thousand and one
hundred or whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Some states have a lot. North Carolina's got one hundred.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I like that nice, easy to keep track of the
state I hail from.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Wyoming.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
We have we you know, we're only in the twenties,
but that's okay. And then we have this quasi thing
around Yellowstone.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It's a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
But three thousand and there is not a single county
where Democrats outperformed did better than they did the last election.
They did worse in every single county. And that includes
(03:57):
what is New York is it? King's County is the
one that encompasses near They even they hemorrhaged in New York,
they hemorrhaged in every single county. And let me tell you,
especially when you get to Wyoming and I'm sure Alaska,
uh and several other states. You you could have had
lunch with enough people to turn that around. But there's
(04:17):
not a single place in America, not a pocket broke
down by counties where the Democrat party did better than
last time, so some would say, you might want to
do things different. And if you are concerned that you
(04:39):
may have screwed up and allowed this opening that Trump
seized upon to your you know, your union workers and
you know a traditional Democrat strongholds where people just went,
you know, I'm done with you.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Why would you keep doing things the same?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I mean, by all means do that if you still
want to do all the insane crap you purport that
you want to do.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
But boggles my mind.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Man, Sorry, that's you wake up and I wake up,
and sometimes we get fixated on different things.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
And that was the thing dragging me down this morning.
The hell was going on?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
No, I saw it like, she didn't flip one county,
not a single one, and that hasn't happened since Herbert Hoover,
not a single one.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
And so what do you do? You're like, all right,
we need new leadership. What should we do? Let's get
another Metro Wake County senator in there.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
And maybe that doesn't matter to the voter. I don't know,
but it just seems weird, doesn't it. And you know, ultimately,
when you're in leadership, it becomes less about wherever they
hail from and more about what they're doing at the
state level. But still I saw that and I went,
what are you doing? That doesn't make any sense to me?
(05:56):
If you think that you need to kick the guy
to the curb blue who was in there? And that's
kind of the vibe that the article laid out. You
got a Monty Python this thing. Oh that's good. I'm
gonna start using that.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Ross.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
You get what I mean by that when I say
you got a Monty Python this thing?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Come on now for something completely different.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yes, yes, you got a Monty Python this thing. I
know somebody you're like do because again, I know you
think that I'm in here just to be a partisan
a hole, but I'm not. I'm here to make fun
of people, but also wonder aloud about these things.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I know you need to change something. It's like you
bring in like count Binhead, how do you get count?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
What's that guy doing? He probably can't hold many offices?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
But sure, why not? Would that be Ross?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I got asked, wouldn't that be amazing if he's the
set of minority leader in North Carolina? And then every
time the Republican's like, we're gonna override a veto and
he comes over there with his echoe you have voice.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
And he's just like you will.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Let's say it doesn't even have to be a Democrat,
Like if it was Count Binhead or whatever versus Tom Tillis,
I'm voting for Bnhead.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Well that's not fair.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
It could be uh uh, what's the guy's nay, who's
the who's the guy? We always make fun of the
demon murderer dude over in the Triad. Oh lord, yeah,
Lord of the Demons would probably beat Tillous right now.
So because you know what, Pazuzu, Lord of the Demons
never tried to steal your kids sold during the night,
(07:30):
So I mean he wants it, don't get me wrong,
but yeah, yeah, it's just this is the stuff that
just makes me go, okay, all right, do what you're
gonna do. But like, have you learned nothing? And and
like even CNN is bringing on these idiots. Dan Goldman's
an idiot, This New York representative. I could go into
(07:53):
all the reasons the guy is, I don't maybe got
kicked in the head by.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
A horse, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
But even they CNN's bringing these idiots onto ROAs. And
you know why, because you're seeing a little bit of
what you saw after the debate. Remember when the media
all acted like, I can't believe you all lied to
us about Joe Biden's cognitive ability and they all pretended
like they weren't in on it so that they could
(08:23):
save face because they realized it is detrimental to their livelihoods.
They're doing that again. Now they're going to bring on
people like idiot Dan Goldmin and go, well, you said
this about the pardon thing. What's going on? And the
reality is all the people at CNN and MSNBC and
everybody else, they all saw it.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
They all looked at it, and.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
They all didn't believe him, not if they were honest,
not if you got a few drinks in them. They
didn't believe him. And when he did it, they hated it.
They did, but they hated it more for partisan reasons
because they's say, oh, it's going to do for Trump,
but they're not going to really get into it. And
even when they saw it coming together. We had a
(09:05):
story in the prep packet yesterday, Ross you remember this,
where they had sources saying that Biden was cooking this
thing up. And I had sent the prep before the
pardon was announced, so they knew about it. And yet
they got to bring Goldman on for his struggle session
and I'm here for it.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
In July of twenty twenty three, just after that plea
deal fell through, this is what you said, I want
to watch.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Do you think a pardon for his son would be
a mistake? Yes, And I don't think there's any chance
that President Biden is going to do that, unlike his predecessor,
who pardoned all of his friends and anyone who had
any access to him.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
And I think, okay, just real quickly, Donald Trump pardoned
about two hundred and thirty people. That sounds like a lot, right,
you know, Barack Obama pardoned four thousand. In fact, there's
only been two presidents that didn't harden to anybody. And
you got to go back away. I think Harrison and
uh Garfield.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I'd have to look it up, but they like what what.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
All?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Right? So like the pardon?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Things not new, it can and and and don't get
me wrong, do presidents abuse their pardons one hundred percent?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Did Trump? One hundred percent? They all do.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
What you're hoping for is sat as. It's you're hoping
for like minimal damage and just stupid stuff. Right, it's
not okay, but it's not high on the list of
things that keep me up at night. Barack Obama did
four thousand. I know Dan Goldman wasn't a member of
Congress at the time. He's only been elected.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Well maybe he was.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I'd have to see when he was elected. But like
it's all performative. But now you got to answer for
it on the CNN kind of do you.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
See that in this case where he kept on and
Merrick Garland kept on a Trump appointed US attorney to
investigate the president's son. If there is not an indication
of the independence of the Department of Justice, beyond that,
I don't know what we could look for.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And to this adult, it's never occurred to him that.
I mean, maybe it has and he won't admit it.
Here is let me tell you where my thinking is
right now, and then let me uh eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven four you can tell
me if I'm wrong. I after watching all this play
out over the last twenty four thirty six hours, whatever,
(11:35):
I've come to this conclusion. Biden planned on pardoning his
son for over a year and the performative trial of
his son took place because it buttressed the Trump prosecutions,
and so they could have this they'd be like, no,
(11:57):
it's just justice completely, but justice.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
That's what happened. Yeah, yeah, all.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Right, so you're on you're on the you're on war
with this. Convince me otherwise.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
No, we said yesterday he was always going to pardon him,
And the reason for that is he's a political creature
and he's incredibly corrupt, right, this entire thing that he's
some sort of like moral moral role model or whatever it's.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
And if he had just pardon him for the two
we could have this debate. But he gave him eleven years.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
The reason, right, Yeah, it's so stupid, like like a
decade plus. And the whole reason is so they could say, oh,
well look no, I mean it's not we're not just
going after Trump. It's not a political thing. We're going
after his son as well. It's it's all you know,
it's all fine.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yeah, with the reality being that this was always this
was always going to happen.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
It's all bull crep yep.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
And so now the narrative is what would a father do?
What would a father do, well, a father can forgive?
How many of you have forgiven something that your kid
has done? They could be minor, right, you don't hold
you hold grudge on Lincoln for I I you know, picked.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
The last you get. Oh yeah, come completely I do.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Oh yeah, the Merits Wall.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah, I remember I got that big TV. It was
so happy about my big TV. That one called this
year and Lincoln walks up and he's like three years
old and he's got his Harry Potter one and he
walks over, Yeah, watching Harry Potter and like you know whatever.
It was like ten ADP at the time or whatever
before yeah, yeah one. And he walks up to and
he's like Expelly Homus boom and he hits the TV
and the TV had been set up for I don't know,
like two seconds, and now there's this big.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Black magic work.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
It did. Anytime they would show like a blue clear sky,
you would see these black pixels in the middle of
the screen, or you know, like it's there, it's a
white snow thing or what there's the black pixels. And
every time for years until we replaced that TV, every
time we would show up on the TV, we'd be
watching a movie in the living room and all of
a sudden, a nice blue sky and I would say, hey,
(13:52):
remember when you destroyed my TV.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
And now they're and you just owned them, right and right.
I mean, that's what a father does. We're talking about
what a president does. Okay, tell you about a president.
So if Joe Biden wants to buy Hunter a brand
new sixty whatever inch obscene TV that Ross has with
pixels missing, well not anymore. But that's fine, But that's
(14:16):
not what we're talking about. This was allowed even though
the decision was made way back over a year ago,
probably maybe longer. The decision was made and they said,
we got to let this play out by he's going
to have to go through the court cases, but he
will never ever ever be sentenced or put in incarcerated,
(14:38):
and it'll time out.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
We can drag this out. I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I would go so far as to wonder if some
of the prosecutors and the jurisdictions helped with the scheduling
of this. Do you know what I'm saying, Dude, dude, anyway,
I'm sorry, go ahead finish, mister Goldman.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
What does that feel like watching yourself back then reassuring
people that Biden was not going to.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
This is a question being asked by a person who
sat on panels reassuring people this wasn't going to happen.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
So just the hypocrisy is through.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
The issue a pardon for his son.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Yeah, and I think that if that plea agreement and
that plea deal had gone through, there would be no pardon.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Right.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
The plea deal that included this eleven year window of
Freebie's doesn't matter. You know that a judge looked at
and legal scholars looked at the I've ever seen anything
like this.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
This is the narrative they're going with.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Oh, well they had to because a corrupt justice system
throughout his plea deal that was a satisfactory outcomes already fallen.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Yeah, yeah, sorry, when you reacted, this was when the
deal had fallen through.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
This guy's such an idiot that he didn't remember that
he came on and said this crap after the judge
had rejected it. That's a person in charge.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Think about that. We'll be back hang on.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Where you have institutions, You have institutions that are purging
this woke garbage. They're not gonna get rid of all
of it. And frankly, here's the other thing. They shouldn't
get rid of all of it. You understand what you
understand what I'm saying, like because I don't want to
see a situation. And when I say all of it,
I mean going through and just going looking at anybody
(16:30):
and going you know what, I think you said something
nice about Biden once you're out of here, right, because
that's that's like, uh, the coup was successful, Let's round
up the executees. That's not what That's not what you're doing.
But you have to you have to recapture the program
and the spirit and and and what you were intended
(16:52):
to do. So if you're in higher ed educating people,
if you're in the city of Raleigh, it's maximizing the
use of the tax dollars in a way that comports
with the desires of the populace. And I understand that
the city of Raleigh, in Greensboro and Winston said, you know,
any larger city in North Carolina is going.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
To have that that that lean.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
But remember, these cities are more than just what they
provide their individual citizens. They're also economic regional economic hubs.
And you know a lot of people just don't want
to deal with that stuff. So when you send a
press release and bragging them out Raleigh, Welcome's new director
(17:31):
of Equity and Inclusion, what are you doing? You know
that cities and universities and companies, more so companies because
of the economic side, they're kicking this crap to the curb.
And so they're like, well, welcome Nestor. What is it
voz Pascal Jesus, I'll try to pronounce this Pasiluqua Pasilucua,
(17:58):
who is the new director of Equity and Include And
my beef is not with Nestor. Nestor is He's just
an over educated dude.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
He's got like nine degrees.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
He's from Peru originally and then came to California to
go to college, then went to three colleges and and
and then worked for cities like San Luis Obispo, which
the only reason to go to San Luis Obispo, let me,
let me just help you is when the cal Poly,
which I think he went to cal Poly. Probably yeah,
he did cal Poly after the tournament a Roses Parade
(18:31):
because I went to us to Santa Barbara and it's
you know, it's not.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
That far and then they have a huge like.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Festival fair, fun time and you go up and then
you party up there, so that that'd be my recommendation.
But this isn't on him. This is on the insanity
of and and then the way that they were this
stuff is is mind boggling to me. Things like he
will begin his service with the City of raw He's
(18:57):
not he's not an enlisted militar terry individual. I hate
when they use the word service. You're not doing a
Is he being paid, then he's not doing a service.
Is he being paid but also under contract, like to
the point of being prosecuted. If he like a military
member would be, then you can call it service. Sorry,
(19:20):
that's stuff. Just but he's got like nine degrees and
you know, and they're gonna shoehorn him into this thing
and you can't You couldn't possibly tell me what he's
gonna do other than make things more expensive the whole position,
and it's like, did you learn nothing? And I trust me.
I was equally as critical of Republicans doing stupid crap
(19:43):
after they got you know, when they get waxed in election,
Like I don't understand it because here's the thing. At
that point I'm not really even rooting for a side.
I'm just rooting for people to be sane and make
saane decisions and keeping.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Your power base.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
If you're the Day Democrats, strictly just in Wake County,
let me give you a piece of free advice that's
going to irritate some of those on the right. If
I was the head of the Democrat Party, or if
I was in a position enough to influence what they do,
the first thing I would have done when staffing leadership
positions is gotten somebody from Western North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
It's absolutely performative.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I understand that, But you have a twofold thing one
and your own guy said this, and never let.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
A good crisis go to waste.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
You have that where half the state thinks you your
party and those above just absolutely ignored them, rightly or wrongly,
I don't care. If you're one of those people will
think it's only because some guy on Twitter said it.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
That's the perception. And those counties you didn't just not gain.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
In those counties, you lost, and you put that person,
and then that person their pet project becomes actually helping
people in Western North Carolina, even if it's just for
the for the press, and then.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
I consider her.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
You guys just do it for whatever, and then you
you start to build back the working man, working woman voters.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Why are you so stupid? How do you?
Speaker 2 (21:16):
How?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Does not occur to anybody?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
There seems to be like a segment right of the
Democratic Party that doesn't realize that the last election was
a complete repudiation of this woke DEI nonsense. Yeah, and
we're tired of seeing it in media and in policy and.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Paying for it. You and I are paying well, you're
not you living, wait for it, you're paying for I'm
paying for that.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
And you you previously mentioned that there's a lot of
businesses that are dropping all this crap and the reason
is because they're now you know, they're feeling it in
their wallet. It reminds me of this decision and like
it reminds me of right after the election, I think
it was before Thanksgiving, how Jaguar came out with their
their act.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Did you see this pepto bismal looking piece of crap.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Yeah, they came out and it was like it was
obvious and apparent that they made the ad before the
election because they know, once again, it's a repudiation of
the Hillary Trump Andy, Yeah, because and everyone of the
comments when you're reading on it, and I read this
on I saw it on a Facebook, I saw it
on an X and people are like, you know, we're
tired of this nonsense, and if you come out with
(22:13):
this garbage, we're not going to support it, and you
are going to be punished financially for it.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
And and let's give in mind too that some company,
a lot of companies moved in that direction, not because
they wanted to.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Right, A lot of it was ESG based. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
So I've said this before.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
One of the things, especially when you get into big companies,
that they need to utilize is capital for various periods.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
You know.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
So you got a lot of companies where revenue is
not derived evenly throughout the year, so they use the
they use essentially capital.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
And it gets very complicated.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
But the companies, there's really only a few big ones,
and then there's like two really big ones. They both
basically said that you need to have a score, this
es G score, and if you don't meet it, then
you can't use money to keep your business going. And
we're talking like Fortune five hundred companies. And so they
(23:10):
went all right, well, whatever we gotta do. We gotta
stay in business, right because it wasn't that people with
So the moment they see an off ramp and people
start actually speaking up, Hell yeah, they're gonna get rid
of this and to not notice what's going on in
the r ry welcomes our new director of Equity and Inclusion.
What the hell is he gonna do? I'm reading the
press release here, let's see Raleigh's let me just read this.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
This is what he does in his work. Ross, you'd
love this. You'd love this job title because you wouldn't
have to do anything. You just say nothing.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Are you ready develop internal partnerships to strengthen organizational culture
and elevate the city's commitment to the principles of diversity,
equity and inclusion. This has got to be a six
figure gig.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Oh, it is a complete waste of time. Right, So
you're gonna have meetings about meetings and make every buddy's
life completely miserable, and nothing is going to get done,
and production is going to get down, and everyone's going
to be walking on eggshells, worrying that they're going to
offend somebody, and if they are, they're called an HR
and then they lose their job for some step.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yeah, how is it? How is this helpful? What do
you mean this city?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
You if you want to develop or demonstrate your commitment
to diversity, equity and inclusion, which I would, I would
tell you that that's probably not people's primary driving concern
right now. The large majority, they just like to be
able to afford eggs and maybe get back to some
sense of normalcy with pricing and the way that we
do things.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
If you do that, if you do.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
This, and uh it like everyone everyone in and around,
as Ross just pointed out, like literally has to adapt
to it. So you can't tell me there's not like
loss in in what's going on? And if you really
want to develop, if you want to a commitment to it,
just do things like here's here you want me to help.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I mean, you're I'm your interim DEI guy. You ready, because.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
I'm gonna I'm gonna show you my commitment to the
principles of equity and inclusion. Everybody in the city of
Raleig gets a tax cut, so instead of paying.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
For this garbage.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
That's right, everybody gets a tax cut, white, black, brown, whatever, green,
doesn't matter. Man woman one of the other seventy two
things you get on a New York drivers doesn't matter.
None of it matters. Everybody in the city rally gets
more money in their pocket. It's not a lot, but
it's a little. And it's something that sounds pretty inclusive,
(25:37):
doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
There's some people who don't own a home, uh, but
they rent, right.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
You know that that's built into the cost, like this
is this is the dumbest crap ever. Or if you
want to make it even easier, Uh, why don't we
start talking about some of the sales tax stuff. I'm
gonna go a little broader with this there. And I
don't even have to hire some dude for six figures
to come in and hold useless meetings.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I am the best. Listen to me.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
I don't know how much you idiots pay consultants down
there on Hillsborough Street with your big, old white mansion
that you almost got foreclosed on. I just gave you
more consulting advice that is positive for you in forty
five minutes of radio than you're gonna get all year.
Don't get leaderships stuck in the same place you waised
(26:27):
that opportunity you could have literally recaptured more of the
rule vote which you hemorrhaged, and now you're all concerned
about and stop spending money on garbage like this. You're
welcome send me my check six forty five.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Hang on.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
The companies that are moving out of this because they're
being allowed to or they're being forced to write you
go back to like bud Light and some of the others,
where they immediately were like, all right, we're going right
back to comedians doing dumb stuff on commercials and catchphrases right, which, frankly,
if you're their advertising agency, you get be like, what
are you doing? To Ross's point, you mentioned this a
(27:04):
jaguar Jaguar. They came out with this weird ad, didn't
show a single car, just showed weirdness. There's no other
way weirdness. And by the way, weirdness is gonna be
the theme of the show today. And we haven't even
gotten into the wicked stuff, which I was gonna ignore, but.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I have to talk about this.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Hey, Weirdness is the name of the game. And so
they come out and they do this weird ad and
they're like, we're we're gonna do something nobody's ever done
before it's gonna be crazy. And people are like, I
don't know, watch you show a car instead of whatever
the hell this fever acid induced dream of a commercial is.
And so that went on, I don't know what a
week ago or whatever. And then yesterday some some photos of.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
The car leaked. They didn't leak, the company sent them out.
Shut up.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
They even if they didn't send them out officially, they
sent them out.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
They didn't just leak the same.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Photos that are all touched up, ready to go and
have marketing information.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, whoopsie.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
So and then and they decided to build a car
which look, I don't know all of the stats, ford horsepower,
all of that.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
It's probably pretty beefy, and.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
It's got some decent looking lines. And then they post
this photo and the thing and I searched for a
color that that car is, and I can arrive at
no other color than pepto Bismo. And it also looks
your car that looks like nothing else, looks like a
car it has to, but it also looks like it
backed into a Rulls Royce. And now the trunk has.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
A rules Roys grill on it. I don't know what's
going on. I will glad I'm a car.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
I would gladly see this thing when it comes out,
and uh yeah, maybe want to drive one. I'm sure
it's gonna be pretty cool. They build nice cars usually.
But you went in this direction, and as Ross pointed out,
you probably went in at pre election and now you're
stuck with pepto dismal.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
And the problem with these DEI director positions or whatever
is there they're constantly looking for problems because it's like
the the L. Sharpton effect, right, like if racism doesn't exist,
then he doesn't have a job, so he constantly has
to find, you know, examples of it. So these people are.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
A thousand dollars donations from the Hairs camp to do interview.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Because without it, they don't have a job. So they're
constantly looking for problems. So they're going to constantly be
looking around the workplace for these microaggressions and just completely
ruining people's lives for stupid stuff.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yes, some day goes to the breakroom, get go, your
hair looks nice today. And now he's on a predator website.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Now he's a monster, right, Yeah, And I get to
have a meeting and about a meeting and a meeting
about it.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
By the way, you know what, you went to know
how much our company loves us. Ross and I normally
have a meeting after the show. Today our boss canceled it.
You know why, because he cares about us.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
I wake up every Tuesday morning praying that the Tuesday
meeting is going to get canceled.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I'm not you don't like Trevor and me.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Well, I don't know, maybe maybe me. But now that
you don't like, you don't want to hang out with Trevor. No,
I love Trevor. Yeah, I don't mind. But it's the
idea of the meeting where it's just.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yeah, no, thank you. I don't want to do to that.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
And so I wake up this morning and it's a
notification on my phone because you can't, I guess you
cancel it.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Listen, we don't need to have a meeting for you
to tell us how awesome we are. Just send an
email or a text.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
They did yesterday.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
You guys are awesome, Thank you so much. Continue the
great work. I don't need a meeting for that.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Yeah, we had a They sends an email tell us
we were awesome, yesda, which means we're probably getting fired today.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
But you know, rightly, everybody's responding. And they were like,
oh yeah, great, you know, and I was just gonna
write just happy to be here. But I was like,
that might come across the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Well you saw what I wrote, did you? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (30:35):
I did, Yeah, I did, so yeah yeah yeah. I'm like,
I hope, I hope they understand that. That is, I
hope they get the reference, because if not, it sounds well.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I was gonna be like, you listen, I was going
to reply to your mess.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I want, I said, okay, all right, So when I
sent it, I didn't add the second I'm not going
to give you all the details. We got an email
with ratings information that was positive.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Hey, you guys did great, right.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Yeah, they did great, and but it was good enough
that they see seed like management up the.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Food chain, like big bosses.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Yeah yeah, So so they write like hey, and so.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
They said that, and admittedly I kind of glanced at
it initially, and then I was distracted.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I was doing something else, and I'm like.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Yeah, I should probably it would be nice to probably
answer that. And because I have no filter sometimes no filter,
I said, looking forward to my jelly of them here
you go looking forward to my to that Jelly of
the Month membership, and I left offers and I wanted Ross, listen,
(31:37):
go ahead.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
What we're doing this is because we have not talked
about this, so obviously obviously you're making a Christmas vication
joke about not receiving a bonus but Jelly of the
Month for great work being in the matings. So I
was going to reply to yours. If you want, I
will kidnap Maynard. Just let me know.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Oh, I was gonna go. I thought you're one of
the gifts that keeps oneing games. Now you're gonna go.
You're gonna lean in.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
You kidnapped the boss if you want me to.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Yeah, I would have so much respect for for you.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Hey, Maynard and I go back like decades, so he yeah, yeah,
I don't everybody to be clear, Maynards.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
I guess Maynards one of the big bosses on this email,
and Ross knows him so like he would probably get that.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I talked with Maynard. He seems pretty hyptotic.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
But anyway, I raided your email and I really what
my reply would be, and I assessed the situation. I said,
I'm just not going to reply yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
So there you go. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Meanwhile, at the City of Raleigh, this guy, I don't know,
he's parked his car wrong and he might progress him,
but I don't know. I don't and I don't wish
that ApoB. I know people work for the City of
Raleigh or you know, functional people. But there's a reason,
there's a reason.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Parks and wreck exists. You guys know this, right.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
What I'm causing going away is the number of people
in the that work in like local government. Now, there's
a lot of them or hip to it, right, and
they're big complainers about people they work with. But like
you realize that show's making fun of you, right, He
probably thinks CNN ambushed him, and in reality, basically CNN
and you, Representative Goldman are running from a bear and
(33:14):
they tripped you.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Okay, that's what happened. CNN is just as liable for
this garbage.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
But other than that, I'm just we're just kind of
spitball in this morning because there's just so much dumb
stuff and I got all this carryover stuff, so I
I let me let me get a little more back
on the more focused, back into the playbook, so to speak. Okay,
what on God's Green Earth are you doing on a
(33:41):
press junket?
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Right? So when a movie's coming out, we get pitched.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
I get pitched, and I get all the age, not
maybe not the biggest, biggest ones all the time. But
if I open my email right now and I scrolled down,
I could find a pitch from one of the companies
wanting to get actors or somebody surrounding a project. A
lot of times it's a TV show. If there's a
reality show where there's a character from North Carolina, a
(34:06):
person from North Carolina on there, we get pounded with interviews, so, oh,
you want to interview Survivor number twenty or the guy
on the barbecue thing. And don't get me wrong, I
watched that barbecue show on Netflix.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
It's very good. I don't know why I watch barbecue shows,
but I find it fascinating. It's very good. I can't
remember what it's called right now, but.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
And there was a guy from North Carolina on last season,
and I think I got a press release a day
from whoever was their marketing people. But the point is
the reason you're doing that is not just to annoy
me in my inbox, but to build interest in your
project so that people come and they go and they
watch it or consume it, and you make money. That's why,
(34:49):
and that's why you hire an agency. That's why you
have marketing people. And then you cart your people around
or they call in and they do radio interviews or
in TV they sit there and and do these interviews.
And you want little snippets of that to percolate within
the media. What do you remember when Tom Cruise was
jumping up and down on Oprah's couch about how excited
(35:11):
he went. He was promoting a movie. It just turned
into another thing that's now kind of famous. So if
you're going to promote a brand or a project, that is,
by the way, not some new thing. It's something people
know something about. I have seen Wicked in a theater,
not a movie theater, in Lake Theater theater in New York.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
And I'm not a huge play guy.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
It was good.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
I read The Lime King was amazing on Broadway. I
got to say, I saw it not there. I saw
it in the San Diego but I saw the Broadway
one when I just happened to be down there. I
went to the show. It's crazy good. It's not necessarily
my cup of tea was stuff.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
But I don't have kids, so the Disney stuff, but
it was very entertaining.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
The Wicked Thing is obviously a play on OZ if
you don't know anything about it.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
But they then send out two different groups.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Okay, they send out Jeff Goldblooms in the movie, and
I don't know the other guy actor. When I watched,
I watched a little snippets of them, and they're doing
the interviews with all the whatever, and their Goldbloom's hamming
it up and he's talking about how he was forced
to learn to sing and he can actually sing, and
and and then they're, you know, they're cutting up with
(36:30):
some jokes and and what you're doing is you're building
likeability or maintaining likability for the characters. Are there people
who hate Jeff Goldbloom? Are there Jeff Goldbloom haters? I
don't know anyone who hates Jeff Goldbloom. I don't know
that necessarily he's the draw for everything. But if you
told me Jeff Goldblooms and some I'm like, cool, all right,
he remember when he saved the world from those aliens?
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Like, all right, And.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
It's it's very normal it's very vanilla. And then they
send out the woman who plays the Wicked Witch, who's
spoiler alert, I guess is not Wicked. It's all open interpretation.
I'm not going to ruin it for you. But they
send her out and she's already trashed her most loyal
fans or the most loyal fans of the of the
(37:15):
production Wicked, because I don't know if you know this.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
When they put the movie.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
When they put it wasn't even the movie poster, but
it was the one they initially put out. It has
a very unique look. And the look is you only
see half the face of the Wicked Witch and another
the other character is whispering into her ear, and you
just see the and you see the green skin on
the chin, and then the big black witches had and
(37:40):
for whatever reason, the woman who plays the who plays
the Cynthia what is it, arid whatever, who plays the
Wicked Witch in that one, it's the hat is up
and you can see her eyes.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
And somebody who is a giant.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Fan of Wicked, right the person would have been first
in line, is also somebody who can photoshop, and they
recreated the iconic. If you go to New York city
where Wicka was playing. These posters were all over the place.
They recreated it where they I don't know if they
cut off the hat from the other one or if
(38:17):
they moved. I'm not a photoshop guy, but they did
that as an homage to something they're a fan of.
And she, excuse me, she posted about how it's how
horrible it was, it was the worst thing that ever
happened to her, and it's racist and all this garbage,
and it didn't get a lot of press. So that
was a while ago. So now she's on this press junket.
(38:39):
You just have to look not insane. And every single
clip I've seen of the women's version of this press
junket is insane.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
It's first sitting there with her emotional support skeleton that
what is her name, Grande, Ariana Grande. The only thing
I know about her is she likes reportedly to sleep
with people's husbands. And she can sing, she's a good singer,
and and they both look insane.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
I might have gone to see this just you know,
if Marky wanted to see it, I could go see it,
and I would, you know, I'd watch it and whatever.
On a deeper level. I'm really tired of these movies
where it's like the Evil Origin Story where they did
the same thing now with the New Lion King with scar.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
I saw, I saw the trailer for that, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
The Wicked Witch of the West, and that there's this
messaging now where like there's no such thing as good
and evil and evil it's subjective and it's all due
to your matter of perspective. And I think that's all
a bunch of bull crap, and kids need to learn
that there is good and there is evil.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
This is why redemption it's very important, and redemption but
without there being defined good and evil, there can't be redemptable, right.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
And this is why classically, like I think like Tolkien
and C. C. S. Lewis are very important because you know,
the Orcs are orcs. The Orcs are evil. We don't
need to see the origin story or them have a
compassion because originally they didn't know bam it because they
represented evil and there was a reason for that. But
all that aside, I maybe would have seen this just
get up, Mark, you want to go. I'm gonna go
to my wife and we're gonna have a good date.
(40:11):
And it would have been fun. But after seeing this nonsense,
going back to what we said in the previous hour,
with the repudiation of all that woke the EI nonsense,
I no longer am going to see this movie purposefully
because you are a moonbat lunatic. And I can't even
get through these segments that you've been seeing all over
social media where they're at this press junket and it's
like they just seem absolutely insufferable. You seem like an
(40:31):
absolute lunatic. And now I'm not gonna go see your movie.
I'm purpose And then they all cry within a minute.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
I'm like, what are you doing? What are you crying for?
Speaker 4 (40:37):
Man?
Speaker 7 (40:38):
Feel and I have feelings and I can shove them.
You need to cry right now? You cry? Yeah.
Speaker 6 (40:46):
And someone said to me once the green was the
thing that I would love the most about a bird
that I want to stay green, but actually.
Speaker 7 (41:01):
Being green.
Speaker 6 (41:01):
Yes, I loved playing this character, but every time I
took the makeup of I loved.
Speaker 7 (41:06):
Who I was even more so I've come away feeling
really beautiful.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
Is it Dusty in here? Is it dust you are?
Speaker 6 (41:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (41:20):
You know what you've brought to this film and to
these characters.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
You've not no, but you know how, I don't even
know your name, ma'am. And you know what, I'm not
gonna look it up. I don't care. If I don't care,
I just want to be entertained. This is not about you.
That don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Actors, good actors and actresses.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
Can go in and they can give a really exemplary
performance to a character and even a character has just
been that's been played before. That's why the best example
of this I can tell you is True Grit. Both
True Both of the True Grit movies are really good
and are really good because of the lead male actors.
(42:03):
And then in Josh Allen's New Wife, is.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
That's who that is? Is that Hailey Steinfeld is in
the True Grit.
Speaker 3 (42:11):
I'm not sure if it is.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
But that the girl who played in that movie, right,
and and so then it becomes about them, but we
have to see the movie first. And her whole junket
is her crying Arianna heavy petting her, which normally it's
all super weird, Like if you were crying and it
was just two actresses, have you pet like I might
watch the clip with the sound off, but like, what
is what is happening?
Speaker 3 (42:33):
Right, like I can understand actors that are weird and
eccentric and like method acting and jump understand it. But
there's a line that once now you cross, I'm just
not going to support your product. And I don't care
how good the movie is, because I am tired of
this lunacy.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
What did h I'm very curious because you're essentially you're
not the target. Your wife's the target. She's right in
the demo?
Speaker 1 (42:54):
What did did did Marky see these clips? What does
she think?
Speaker 3 (42:57):
She is not? As far as I know.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
You should sit her down clockwork orange style and make
her watch it. Just so.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
I'm just curious how women react to that, because that's
who they're that's who they're messaging, and that's also the
reason why they're doing these very separate, very different vibe
press things right where they're sending the women out to
do interviews with uh and and by the way, how
insufferable are the interviewers in this thing, sir?
Speaker 1 (43:22):
They're crying.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
The one woman's crying too. How how do you think
this is helping? How do you think it's helping when
the snow white chick will keep her mouth shut for
five minutes? How are you, Disney, how do you allow
yourself to be surrounded by all of this and then
just throw a big burn money? And I guess that
(43:43):
speaks to go when you get into the upper echelons
to some of these companies where you may not be able.
Speaker 1 (43:47):
To purge all the DEI garbage?
Speaker 2 (43:51):
What was what was the video game that everyone was
hammering on last week? I could barely keep track of
all that.
Speaker 3 (43:57):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, Like, when it comes to
you know, movies or video games or anything, I'm just
not gonna support it financially at all anymore. And I
know there was a time where like, oh, I'm gonna
play these games on Twitch just so I can make
fun of them. I'm not gonna do that anymore.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
Is there a top level release this year that hasn't
had some of this garbage attached to it? Obviously some
have been it's just been pure calamity because it was
so much.
Speaker 3 (44:19):
There have been successful games like that. There's been The
Space Marines is one of them. There was that one
game out of China that was sort of like a
Dark Souls. They can't remember what it's called.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
Oh yeah, I saw somebody mentioned that in the video
I watched.
Speaker 3 (44:32):
And yeah, these games are attacked by like these like
games that I say it un quote journalists because like
they're not woke enough. But these are the games that
are doing, like really successful.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
And then they listen to those journey the idiot over
at Gizmoto or whatever, what's that? What's their video what's
their video game? Oh? No, it folded, didn't it?
Speaker 3 (44:49):
Kataku? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (44:51):
No, Kataku didn't fold one of them pulled it.
Speaker 2 (44:53):
Yeah, So you're listening to the guy over at Kataku
who's a moron, right and his and while he may
represent Kataku and the people who what ross? Do you
read Kataku for information or to hate?
Speaker 1 (45:07):
I did? I?
Speaker 3 (45:08):
Well, I don't anymore. I've completed anymoreged it from my brain.
But there was a time I would say, maybe like
ten plus years ago, where it was part of my
morning routine where I would come into work, I would
fire up the board, get everything ready, and then I
would spend fifteen twenty minutes like reading, you know, stuff
on video games on Kataku. And then so waita way
they went over the edge and they were doing that
at work, of course, sure was. We were talking about
(45:28):
it now time we're talking about it now, so apparently
it's work related.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
Well, I mean this one you that's a that's the
long game and it worked out for you. So yeah, no, no, no, no, absolutely.
In fact, you're the one who sent me. When they
did the PS five review, you're like, oh my gosh,
look at this thing.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
And if you don't know they did a PS five review,
there wasn't about the PS five one of the biggest
console releases of what the decade, easily, and they decided
and they're main review to like whine about DEI stuff
and uh and I think they threw a darkfur in
(46:06):
there or something. It's like, what, how do the graphics look?
Speaker 3 (46:09):
It's like they're discussing like Red Dead Redemption too, and
like they bring in Rwanda or something.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Yeah, would you do it? What are you doing? Yeah?
They mix it in George Floyd Darfur. It was insane.
The thing was insane, just it and and and.
Speaker 2 (46:25):
People and and you know, and people went, oh, it's
the shut up and dribble mentality. Yes, and some of
that's okay, right, Look, every day I'm inundated with somebody
who doesn't feel that what I'm doing on the show
at that moment is what they expect from this show,
and I have to balance whether yeah, you know, maybe
I should kick into something else.
Speaker 3 (46:46):
But I mean there's certain segment of people they will
they want everything to be political, even if they're hate
listening against when it comes to sports and entertainment or
movies or video games, whatever you find for your leisure recreation. Yeah,
these things. Once upon a time were sort of separated
from politics, a way to escape these things, and now
(47:09):
it's almost impossible to do that. So when you have
something that comes out that is actually separated from politics,
people are going to be drawn towards that.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
And then they they go, oh, well, let me learn more,
and then they and I.
Speaker 7 (47:20):
Have feelings and I can shove them. And if you
need to cry right now, you cry. Yeah, And.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
I'm watching this and the only thought in my head is.
Speaker 3 (47:37):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (47:38):
I'm just screaming at the damn.
Speaker 4 (47:39):
You know.
Speaker 3 (47:39):
The more I see that hacka Dance is stupider. It
looks the first time, I was like the first time,
I love the audio. Yeah, the first time, I'm like,
oh that's so, that's looks cool. It looks impressive, and
then like it is cool, like you know, I went
to McDonald's and they gave me the wrong order and
I broke out the hockey dance or whatever. Yeah, that's
just dumb.
Speaker 1 (47:56):
Dude, it is it is. It is cool.
Speaker 2 (47:59):
You know, I went to you know, I went to
Australia right when I was a kid. I got to
go to Australia when I was a kid. Uh and
we uh they and my grandfather was a college professor
and so he had there was a thing with professor
exchange kind of thing with one of the universities there,
and so it afforded me this opportunity. And and I'm
I would have much rather gone to Australia when I
(48:21):
was older, because it looked like the people who were
having a lot of fun were mostly doing adult stuff.
But we we went to one of the it's not
the same necessarily, it's but it's memory and then the
Aboriginal dance thing there and pretty cool. You ever see
like in the Samoa the dances that they do, right,
(48:42):
that's that's interesting stuff. Not on the not on the
floor of the house as much. But you know, whatever,
this but that's a politician. I expect that this is
a woman who's purporting that she wants to entertain me,
and I'm just like, no, I'm out, I got I
got no intro, and I'm somebody or you're somebody who
(49:02):
would have been receptive based on your wife wanting to go,
you would have gone, what is it? So that's what
thirty bucks down the drain for the for the company
that produced this absolute insanity. All right, well the insanity
doesn't stop there. We got it in droves coming up.
Speaker 1 (49:20):
Just hang on, No, it's not a BUCkies. Wait wait wait,
you can drop your kids? Well, now, I would just
still start that.
Speaker 3 (49:26):
I would assume somewhere in the BUCkies there's like a
daycare center somewhere.
Speaker 4 (49:30):
So.
Speaker 1 (49:32):
There's no way to go to all of the corner
of the store in a lifetime.
Speaker 3 (49:36):
It's impossible.
Speaker 8 (49:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:37):
Yeah, by the way, uh this uh it was not
a BUCkies and her she's got three kids.
Speaker 1 (49:46):
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (49:46):
Uh she got five year old, three year old and
a four month old what was four months old? I
guess you could pretty much drop a four month old
off anywhere and they'll still be there, right unless some
weirdo happens along, like where are they gonna go? Yeah,
if the youngest is four months old, just drop them
off of the gas station.
Speaker 1 (50:07):
But I can understand that.
Speaker 3 (50:08):
So she had a baby four months ago and she's
already at like, hey, I'm going to drop the baby
off at a gas station to hook up with a dude.
She's already at that point of needs, that.
Speaker 1 (50:17):
Needs, she got needs.
Speaker 2 (50:19):
And again I'm not a parent. You can hook up
in front of a four month old, can't you, or
at least with them in the vicinity, like in another room.
It's not like your it's not your twelve year old's
going to walk in on you and be scarred for life.
Speaker 1 (50:30):
Like four months.
Speaker 2 (50:31):
I don't know what the hell is going on. So
I don't know, don't know, but don't do that apparently.
All right, Sorry you send me that link? What the
what is wrong with people?
Speaker 6 (50:46):
All right?
Speaker 2 (50:47):
Hey, speaking of kids, if you haven't done your Christmas
shopping yet, have I got something for you.
Speaker 9 (50:58):
My name's Ashley, and I'm excited to talk to you
about a project we've been working on at the National
Center for Gender Spectrum Health called My Gender Dolls.
Speaker 1 (51:06):
Wait, there's a national there's a National gender spect Okay.
Speaker 9 (51:15):
These dolls were designed by transgender and gender diverse artists
They are intended to be a therapeutic tool for transgender
and gender diverse kids to explore how they see themselves
or how they'd like to see themselves in terms of
gender identity and gender expression. The my Gender dolls are
made up of multiple layers, and the first of these
are the bodies. Because all kids should be able to
(51:37):
see themselves represented, we have lots of different options for
skin tones and body sizes. Along with the choice of bodies,
the my Gender dolls also include genitals. This is important
because kids can learn that all gender identities and gender
expressions are valid.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
By the way, I just want to point out I
don't have a problem with this may not be your
cup of tea. But if a company or or a
gender spectrum society or whatever the wherever she works, if
they want to produce these and put them on the
market and they get people to buy them.
Speaker 1 (52:09):
Whatever, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (52:12):
But what you have to understand as you read through
this and you look at the way in which people
you have, people who are like you know, we need
we need these in every school. We need all of
that stuff, and we need to have a mister potato
head genital situation going on so that we can, you know,
we can get them in there. And so that's where
it creeps into It's not just hey, I want you know,
(52:35):
it's like a black Barbie doll, right, who cares an Asian?
Speaker 1 (52:40):
But I don't.
Speaker 2 (52:40):
Nobody cares. Nobody really cares. What people care about is
that lunatic who went into Remember when they went into
Target and they found out that there was like fifty
normal Barbies or say normal regular barbies, old school barbies,
and there were only like ten black Barbies. And they
held a protest because Target didn't allocate the same amount
(53:02):
of shelf space. Target allocated the amount of shelf space
that they thought would be based on sales. I'm assuming
I don't know there's some weirdos up at Target, but
I know people work for Target Corporate.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
When I lived in Minneapolis. That being said, that's not
the thing here.
Speaker 2 (53:20):
But now you have something like this, and you're like,
let's go ahead and figure out how we can essentially
get taxpayers.
Speaker 1 (53:26):
To buy a bunch.
Speaker 3 (53:27):
You know what you are.
Speaker 2 (53:27):
You're the Baltimore mayor, remember in the mayor of Baltimore
who was ousted. She wrote a kid's book. I don't
even think she wrote it and then forced Baltimore schools.
They bought four what was it, four hundred thousand copies
of it and they were all and like most of
them were just sitting in a warehouse somewhere.
Speaker 1 (53:44):
That's where people have a problem.
Speaker 3 (53:46):
With this stuff.
Speaker 1 (53:46):
Okay, a bunch of you sent this to me, and
I'm just responding to it.
Speaker 2 (53:49):
If people want to make dolls in all shape, sizes,
colors and all of that, and there's a market for it,
then that's fine. But we're not going to do this
thing where we're uh forcing your kid in to have
this as part of their curriculum. That's that's where it
immediately jumps the shark on this.
Speaker 9 (54:08):
No matter how your body looks, there are lots of
different ways to be a girl, a boy, or anywhere
along a gender spectrum. Another layer to the dolls is
the internal reproductive parts. It is important for kids to
learn about what's on the inside of their bodies. Bodies
are amazing and there's so many different kinds.
Speaker 2 (54:34):
Is that how kids interact with dolls or action figures.
I have to go action figures. Let me uh, let
me go with that route in and play with dolls,
play with action figures. By the way, Ross, I don't
know how many g I joes you had another? Uh
do you ever have this stretchy do you remember the
stretchy wrestler?
Speaker 1 (54:49):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (54:50):
You can get them in like Hull Cogan all. By
the way, I saw a dude who looked exactly like
Hull Cogan yesterday.
Speaker 1 (54:57):
I mean maybe it was, yeah, that there was.
Speaker 2 (55:01):
It was just enough off that I knew it wasn't.
But I mean the look, the look, and I I didn't.
I was like, if he comes over here, I'm a
how do I not say brother? If he talks to me?
It would be subconscious. But that's how that's how kids
play with dolls. And by the way, I didn't look
like any of the I didn't look like the uh
my uh uh the uh uh one of my why
(55:25):
Conan I had the Conan.
Speaker 1 (55:26):
I'd like all the Conan stuff too, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (55:28):
My grandmother got me that I don't look like Conan
the Barbarian when I was eight, Okay, but I was
still able to feasibly put together a battle plan to
entertain myself.
Speaker 3 (55:37):
I mean, yeah, I didn't look like he Man right
or but or Haul Coogan, But I knew he was
a kid. I was like, that's pretty badass, and I
would like to be like that someday. And then I
incredibly disappointed because it never you go.
Speaker 2 (55:47):
Jumping off the back of the couch with that Oh yeah,
yout your mom's screaming at you.
Speaker 1 (55:52):
What are you doing? I'm coming off the top ropes. Maham,
mind your business.
Speaker 9 (55:57):
Let's keep layering. Oh we all have to get dressed.
Gender expression is our well.
Speaker 2 (56:06):
Judging from my sister's buckets, by two sisters with their
bucket of barbies, none of them had to be dressed.
Speaker 1 (56:11):
They were always naked for some reason, because they lose
the damn clothes.
Speaker 9 (56:14):
Oh way of telling the world how we want to
be seen. My gender dolls have a lot of clothing
and style choices. Kids learn that, regardless of gender identity,
they can express themselves in lots of ways. Every article
of clothing and accessory works with all sizes of bodies.
Speaker 2 (56:31):
I just can't you know how kids are really able
to grasp exactly what you're saying. By the way, because
again my beef is not if somebody wants to make this,
sell it and see if it works, it's kids already
have this amazing thing that sadly we drift away from
it as we grow older, and that's the ability to
imagine whatever they want. Stupid stuff kids imagine. I remember
(56:55):
this sounds, this is going to sound the dumbest thing ever.
I remember thinking that a way that I could screw
with my sisters was to.
Speaker 1 (57:04):
Make them think that.
Speaker 2 (57:05):
I don't know how to describe this, it's just one
of these weird kid memories you have. I was convinced
I could convince them that there was.
Speaker 1 (57:12):
A train in a cave.
Speaker 2 (57:13):
And I'm not gonna get all the details for it,
but like it was pure imagination fuel. And then we
had I think we just threw rocks at them or something.
But the point, I told you, it's dumb. But the
point was like kids are perfectly capable of imagining whatever
you want.
Speaker 3 (57:28):
Imagination is one thing, but I'm really tired of this
like belief that kids have this un understanding, this otherworldly
understanding of existence, where it's like you need to listen
to the kid, because they really know. Listen, listen. Kids
are stupid, and kids are dumb, and kids are clay.
There's a reason you have to warn children not to
(57:48):
go into the van that has free puppies and candy.
Because kids are dumb and they're gonna believe whatever you
tell them. That's why do you think Tiger would there wasn't. Well,
you're telling me there wasn't. There's no candy, there there's
no do not go in the van, Please do not,
please do not. But do you think Tiger Woods would
have become Tiger Woods if his dad didn't put a
golf club in his hands at the at the age
(58:10):
of like one year day old or whatever.
Speaker 1 (58:12):
He was on n carr Leno or something chipping better
and I'll ever chip in my life when he was like.
Speaker 3 (58:17):
Four, right, because where he had the influence of his
parents who are trying to get him into something because
his dad enjoyed it. He was living vicariously through his son,
and it just happened that he actually ended up having
some talent and it worked out a little bit, you know.
And it goes back to the dinosaur things that people
bring up, the dinosaur thing, because it's the thing that
parents go through. At some point, your kid is gonna
be pretending to be a dinosaur, and he's gonna say
(58:40):
I am a dinosaur, And it is your role as
a parent to say you cannot be a dinosaur. That
is complete lunacy. You are a boy or you are
a girl. And I'm tired, once again, going back to
what I said in the previous segment with an hour ago,
I'm tired of the lunacy man and a lot of Just.
Speaker 1 (58:53):
Let kids be kids.
Speaker 2 (58:54):
Your biggest concern should be that they don't pick a
stupid dinosaur, right like you're.
Speaker 3 (59:00):
Yeah, you don't want to be a stegosaurus.
Speaker 6 (59:01):
Man?
Speaker 2 (59:02):
Come on, wh what I don't even know you. We're
dropping you off at the cat station. I'm done with you,
so right.
Speaker 1 (59:09):
No, oh your t rex good. I'm glad my kid's
a winner. There you go. All right.
Speaker 2 (59:14):
I even take pterodactyl because they can fly, even though
they're not the most aggressive.
Speaker 1 (59:19):
Now, I don't give you the big dumb one.
Speaker 3 (59:20):
It just comes out.
Speaker 1 (59:21):
He's head in the lake and there's leaves on it
when it comes up. You know, if your kid picks
that dinosaur, get a DNA test.
Speaker 2 (59:30):
I'm sorry, just impugned your wife, all right, seb forty five,
Race Stage A Third Channel.
Speaker 1 (59:36):
Yeah, it's a parent.
Speaker 2 (59:37):
You just don't want your kid when he pretends to
be a dinosaur to pick a stupid dinosaur, right, correct?
Speaker 1 (59:42):
You want a winner dinosaur?
Speaker 10 (59:44):
Yeah, you want to go Toronto Saurus rex. You don't
want to be a dactyl, right, I.
Speaker 1 (59:49):
Even take pterodactyl because they can fly.
Speaker 3 (59:51):
Imagine imagine your kid choosing a vegan dinosaur like a vegetarian.
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (59:56):
Yeah, you take him to the fire station, put him
in that little bin thing where you dropped.
Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
Yeah, just not Barny. Right.
Speaker 10 (01:00:02):
There's no purple dinosaurs nor none at all.
Speaker 1 (01:00:06):
Advice.
Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
I don't know wherever you drop your kids off because
it picks a stupid dinosaurs. Should be inside today because it's.
Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
Yeah, it should be yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (01:00:14):
And even seeing snowfall reports a lot of it out
of the triad did We talked yesterday that if we
had a dusting or a little bit more Bewst and
the further west that you went.
Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
And obviously in and around Raleigh and Durham.
Speaker 10 (01:00:29):
And Sanford and Feva there were a few flurries and
snow showers. Don't see any official reports, but some areas
we did dust the ground. But you get out in
near high Point in Greensboro Winston Sound, half an inch
to an inch of snow overnight. Now looks like a
lot of that's starting to go away in the mountain.
There's still some flurries and snow showers, but cold. As
you had mentioned, KC. As the chill sticks with us,
(01:00:50):
briefly milder and then colder once again, another cold shot
coming in as we go on through this week. Next
week looks a little bit better. So today we're clearing
it out. We come mostly low forties, mainly clear. Tonight
low to mid twenties, some areas may get into the teens.
And then to tomorrow, yeah, yeah, we may get closer
(01:01:12):
to fifty degrees, so mid upper forties for daytime highs tomorrow,
then milder tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (01:01:17):
Low to mid thirties.
Speaker 10 (01:01:18):
Thursday, sunshine into the fifties with the gusty breeze, and
that breeze will go northwest. It'll start in the morning southwest,
and once it flips around, that's when you know the
next front's coming in and we're back in the little
mid twenties for Friday morning. Saturday morning, some of us
could sneak into the teens, especially from the triad west,
and then recovering after a high close to forty Friday
into the forties and then the fifties as we go
(01:01:40):
through the weekend, with a chance of rain on Monday.
Next week does look milder, casey, so there's cold air
sticking around for the next couple of days. We do
go up a little bit by Thursday, but back down
and then back up starting. I'd say about Sunday we're
back above fifty and then maybe closer to sixty with
that rain coming in on Monday.
Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
All right, well there you go. Just all sorry, bad news,
Thank you, sir, appreciate it. Yeah, we talk in an
hour and.
Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
We will be right back. Thanks for hanging out with
us this morning. Eve.
Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
And though we're just basically wandering, it's what I do.
So let's see. Yeah, so we're talking. We're talking about
the dolls. Ross and I were having a conversation off
the air.
Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
Here's the thing. And and again I don't have kids,
but I was a kid, and it's not.
Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
Like educational things weren't part of children's entertainment toys, right,
But I'm just sure a lot of the toys that
we had, what was it spirograph, the thing with the
like you know, the cog wheels and the pen on
the screen.
Speaker 1 (01:02:38):
And I love that damn thing.
Speaker 2 (01:02:40):
There's math to be learned there, there's there's all sorts
of stuff, but it was. It was, but the first
and foremost you had to You had to have the
kid want that and want to interact with it or
to watch the show. Sesame Street was poppling some of
the most educational programs when I was a kid. Mister
(01:03:00):
Rogers was incredibly educational.
Speaker 3 (01:03:02):
Mister Rogers was great because he would do these science
experiments and he would have the kids do them. But
then he would like like, hey, you guys, go over. No, no, no,
mister Nuchols, No no, no, that's mister Wizard. Yeah, mister Wizard. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
Yeah, Like mister Wizard was great.
Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
I was, you know how jealous I was those three
punks whoever would show up that day got to mix stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:03:19):
To make smoke.
Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
Right.
Speaker 3 (01:03:20):
Well, he's hiding behind the lead shield and something, which
is why there's always new kids.
Speaker 1 (01:03:24):
Yeah, and there's only one mister Wizard's one thing.
Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
I really do you think one day we're going to
find out that mister Wizard like ten thousand dead kids
and it's a giant scandal.
Speaker 3 (01:03:34):
That was never plays. No scandals with him or mister Rodgers,
please leave them alone. One thing I remember, though, when
when Lincoln was like super little and watching these cartoons
with him, is all of it is educational Now, like
every single thing is there ends up being some sort
of equation on the TV, or they break out into
a song about vowels. It's all sesame street now. Where
(01:03:56):
back in the day we had like G I. Joe
and ThunderCats and math, there were still things you could
learn from those. There were good moral tales, but it
wasn't like they were in the middle of a battle
and suddenly the numbers started dancing on the screen and
they learned about even in odds and because what would that?
That would be garbage and I missed that sort of
The only exceptions I when Lincoln was little that I
(01:04:17):
saw were like Peppa Pig, and I guess Bluie would
now be the example, and Pepa Pig was great because
there was none of that in your face educational stuff
all the time. It just gets old. I don't think
it's good for a kid.
Speaker 2 (01:04:30):
They're still shoe horned it into those shows now though,
like okay, why what was it Paw Patrol? Although they
tried to cancel Paw Patrol or at least one of them,
but yeah, it's all of them. And and so you
so now you're sitting a kid down, whether it's that
gender doll or any of the rest, and you're like,
we're gonna learn and you're gonna like it. And my
question is, dude, what do you think that kid's doing
(01:04:51):
five seconds after you leave that kid alone with that doll.
It's it's not about whatever velcrow genitals are on the
thing at that moment. They're gonna make cup whatever narrative
in their head they want. That's their best friend, that's
their their whatever, that's their their cousin, or that's, uh,
my doll has superpowers and now I do too. Whatever
goes to a kid's head, and it's just literally the
(01:05:13):
doll existing is all that they needed to go in
that direction. But are they gonna want to if they
feel like they're gonna get it's a lesson every.
Speaker 1 (01:05:21):
Time they sit down with it. No, they want to
play with fun stuff. And that's why you got to
sneak it in. It's why you sneak vegetables into stuff
you make for your kids. Don't tell them about it.
You put you know, you put.
Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
Green beans in something that they like and they might
actually eat it if it's covered up enough. You put
a playfull of green beans in front of a lot
of kids not touching that. So and we've just we
we've lost the plot man on some of this stuff.
So we will see and that and that's why you
then have to do things like go and you like,
every school system should buy one of these dolls so
(01:05:56):
for their educational purpose.
Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
Kc O Day Radio program. It's funny. I just saw
I just saw this email. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
I was distracted by other stuff. So we were I
mentioned we mentioned that story about this woman who left
her three kids at a gas station to go hook up.
One of them was four months old, by.
Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
The way, So.
Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
I'm I am hoping those kids do not go back
to that woman. Uh at what at this time, But
we'll see what the state of Oklahoma does. That's where
that happened. And one of our listeners sent me an email.
I'll summarize it basically, and I'm sure this. I assume
this has to be a something that crosses through a
parent's head at some point, do you, like, you know,
(01:06:39):
Stanhope does a whole bit about this, almost none of
which I can repeat right where he's talking about all
the reasons he doesn't have kids, and they range from
the absurd, like you know, I've left ice cream in
the car, I'd leave a kid in there.
Speaker 1 (01:06:52):
But that's got it.
Speaker 2 (01:06:53):
I'm assuming that's a thought that goes through a parent's
head just terrifies you, just like forget your kids somewhere.
Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
Even though that sounds like you couldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
So this guy and his wife, they both they were
both driving, and apparently they had they have six kids.
Well that's why you have six kids, sir, You could
afford to leave one somewhere.
Speaker 1 (01:07:11):
So they have six kids.
Speaker 2 (01:07:12):
And it was a situation where there's two vehicles filled
to the brim, his wife or her vehicle, him and
his and I guess there's soccer kids, the kids' friends
or whatever. And they stopped it and it sounds like
it was a sheets they stopped at and they everyone
went in and grabbed all this stuff. And then they
were getting down the road and his wife called him
and he's like, hey, do you have our kid? Because
(01:07:34):
he had been right and and then immediately you're just
flipping U turns, I guess at that point. But when
they found him, he was in there trying to get
one of the sheets people or the gas people to
make him the the the ice cream thing that you
see when you walk in on the right, So he
probably didn't even notice.
Speaker 1 (01:07:49):
But yeah, man, you have right ross ever crossed your
mind you.
Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
Were worried about just leave Lincoln somewhere maybe when you
were just when you were I assume these are thoughts
that crossed through somebody's head when and uh during gestation, right,
because you don't you don't know what you're in for
on that first kid. But it's that old meme though, right,
if you're the if you're the uh, you're the oldest,
Like I'm the oldest. I couldn't get away with anything.
My brother the youngest. That kid, he basically had to
(01:08:15):
raise himself. My mom's like, hey, you're gonna go play
with the rusty tools.
Speaker 3 (01:08:18):
Yeah, have fun, we're over. He's like super attentive because
we didn't want to be like one of the stories
that we would read on this show, right, Like we've
done so many of these stories that it's ingrained, like hey,
let's not do that.
Speaker 2 (01:08:27):
Yeah, yeah, And so I I thank you for the email.
I don't why you'd admit that, sir, that stupid look.
Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
I get it, I get it.
Speaker 2 (01:08:36):
And you put that on the internet, though, and there'll
be a bunch of people who are like, I would
never do that, who are probably always also secretly awful people.
Speaker 1 (01:08:45):
But uh, and so I'm not gonna judge you.
Speaker 3 (01:08:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
And that sounds perfectly like, I get that's the home alone.
You just did the home alone. It's okay, you got
your kid. Did he get ice cream?
Speaker 1 (01:08:56):
Though?
Speaker 2 (01:08:56):
I want to know you got to get him the
ice cream at that point, right, just even if he
doesn't understand why you're buying.
Speaker 3 (01:09:02):
An I mean, I I told you the story before
about how my dad lost me at the Kmart.
Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
Oh I got lost to it a k You and
I have commiserated about this, both being left with Yah.
Speaker 3 (01:09:12):
It was I can't now, I can't remember. I was
gonna say Kmart. It could have been a James Way though,
well I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:09:17):
Think mine was a k Mart. It was the Wyoming.
There's a even that they have a Wyoming version of that, like,
but anyway, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:09:23):
Mine was the same Prince James Way, and I lost
my dad and I went up to the front of
the store and I'm like and it was terrified. I'm like, yeah,
I've completely lost my father. I don't know where he is.
And they had to go on the loud speaker like, hey,
we're looking for this kid's parent. And my dad comes
trucking down the lane like sweating profusely. You could tell,
you know. He was like completely nervous and stuff right, like,
(01:09:43):
oh my god. And we are leaving and he was like, hey, hey, hey,
don't tell your mom. No, we're we're leaving. We were
walking out and he puts his eyes and say, hey,
do you want a toy or something? And I'm like, yeah, yeah,
I do, yeah, yeah. So I ended up getting it.
Was my favorite toy ever. It was the mask toy.
It was the green motorcycle that turned into a helicopter.
Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (01:10:03):
He was amazing. My dad bought it. And my dad
as they were walking out with the box, I'm super happy,
He's like, hey, do me a favor. Yeah, now that
I brought you this present that you want, do not
tell your mother about that?
Speaker 4 (01:10:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:10:15):
I never did. My mom has no idea that ever happened.
Speaker 1 (01:10:20):
Well, now she does I'm gonna call her be like, hey, hey,
you want to hear some stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:10:25):
But looking back is like now, being a parent, I understand, Hey,
my dad was probably terrified of not only losing his kid,
but also the reaction right from from the mom. Yeah please, yeah, yeah,
I'm gonna buy you whatever you want to shut up.
Speaker 1 (01:10:38):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (01:10:39):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (01:10:39):
Your dad then literally committed bribery, yeah, to soothe the
soul man, and you ended up with a toy. The
problem with that is, and I guess it didn't cross
your I don't know how old you were.
Speaker 3 (01:10:50):
Uh, you're looking back now and understanding, because you know
we we weren't like, you know, a family of means right,
like yeah, you know. So it was like that was
a lot of money for my dad to do at
the time, like a random present like that, because we
would only get amazing presents like that on birthdays and Christmas.
That was everything that would just happen. So I don't
know how he explained it to my mother when we
(01:11:11):
got back home. I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
Yeah, and I was gonna say, well, one like the
pre the gift was not for you, it was for him.
Let's just be honest. Right, that's his. But the other
thing is too, if you're a devious little turd, you
could have been like, I'm gonna run away every week.
It was scary, man, I mean that's scary. I was terrifying.
I do in my mind.
Speaker 2 (01:11:32):
This is part of this is the mall in Casper
in Casper, Wyoming where this was. But we were at
the one of the stores that on the end of
it again not a camar I can't remember what. It's
not called that anymore. He got absorbed I think by Macy's.
But uh, and it like like you're sitting there, sitting
there at the mall. It's just I was for what
(01:11:54):
I was like excited because I was just sitting there
getting the screw arounds. I don't know if I was
in the toil or where I was, but like, I
don't remember noticing, and I I remember the whole situation
and not realizing what had happened, just that my mom
was losing her crap.
Speaker 1 (01:12:09):
Man. It never and it was years later that had
nawned on me.
Speaker 2 (01:12:13):
I'm like, she probably thought I was getting sex trafficked
for like whatever's going through her head, just the worst
things you can think of. So all right, Well, thank
you for the email, sir, But yeah, you're you're fine, okay.
Are all six of your kids you know where they are?
Speaker 1 (01:12:27):
All right? Well, you're good.
Speaker 2 (01:12:30):
That's about all you can expect from people. All right
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
Speaker 1 (01:12:37):
Let's see here. Oh yeah, we're all right. So I
got a little more audio. I'm gonna pay. Let's go ahead,
hit the brake.
Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
We'll we'll hit it early today and come back and
we're gonna have to again do rapid fire, because what
are you gonna do? Including AKJ A k JP, Jean Pierre,
who both Ross and I were very interested on the
show yesterday as to what the White House presser would
look like. Well, we have our answer, and it basically
(01:13:05):
is now the talking points that they're going to go
with on this. I've seen that everyone's kind of fallen
in line, so we'll lay that out for you.
Speaker 1 (01:13:11):
We'll do it next. Hang on, yeah, Jake, what's up?
Speaker 8 (01:13:15):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (01:13:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:13:16):
I had the experience tweety for the first time. Man,
I lost my son twice because of course something shiny,
but I was in.
Speaker 10 (01:13:22):
Charge of our two year old.
Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
I had to add my wife, where is our son,
and we'd see, have I not? How long have you
listened to the show, sir? I recognize your voice.
Speaker 4 (01:13:32):
I have I have to experience in order to hate it.
Speaker 2 (01:13:36):
I have warned I have a heike beef with Tweetsy,
but it's not tweetzy. There is an incident once when
I was driving the Blowing Rock. You know, you go
right by there on the highway and they I guess
it was super busy at Tweetsy, and I guess there's
parking on the other side. There's a little tunnel you
can walk through. I'm not fully clear on this, but
what happened is I in the in the distance, I
(01:13:57):
see these three kids across the highway, and if it
had been five seconds later, it'd be right.
Speaker 1 (01:14:03):
Where I was.
Speaker 2 (01:14:04):
And then I see right after them, I see the
parents who are losing their damn minds, and I'm just
like these kids so wanted to get over to tweets
you you They almost got hit by a car, so
that's why we just tweet see but you you went
you went there anyway, sir?
Speaker 3 (01:14:18):
Well I went there.
Speaker 10 (01:14:19):
I kind of dragged by my in law, but I
could beat that.
Speaker 11 (01:14:22):
We actually hit a deer, a mile up the road
from tweets see on.
Speaker 2 (01:14:24):
The way there.
Speaker 1 (01:14:25):
Well, I expect deer to run across the road. I
don't expect families.
Speaker 3 (01:14:29):
So yeah, well my my car was no.
Speaker 1 (01:14:32):
No, I'm sorry to hear that, sir.
Speaker 2 (01:14:34):
Yeah, I'm glad you hit a deer and not a kid, obviously,
but you know much better.
Speaker 11 (01:14:40):
But still it happened right in front of a cop.
Speaker 1 (01:14:42):
So car up hit an ELK, hit an elk.
Speaker 4 (01:14:46):
No, we hit it.
Speaker 3 (01:14:47):
We had We hit a big buck is what we hit.
Speaker 8 (01:14:49):
And it pore up the right front border panel and
all that jet.
Speaker 9 (01:14:53):
But I drove a home but it tired, kept golf.
Speaker 8 (01:14:55):
Flat on the way.
Speaker 1 (01:14:56):
That sucks. Did you guys have fun and tweets the
other than the the kid thing.
Speaker 7 (01:15:00):
Other than from the train getting in my eye?
Speaker 1 (01:15:04):
Yeah, well it's called tweety railroad, sir.
Speaker 3 (01:15:07):
I mean, and I don't but like, other than that, Yeah,
we had fun.
Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm surprised some moon bats haven't come and
try to shut down that.
Speaker 1 (01:15:16):
Train when we need one that runs on solar all right,
all right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:15:26):
Yeah, and I think about it, some new eco moon
batsy are you giving tweets you a pass?
Speaker 1 (01:15:33):
I'm kiddy. Look, it makes kids. That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (01:15:35):
Going back to all the other stuff we're talking about,
that kid doesn't That kid might be fascinated with trains
and fun and all, but he's fascinated with fun first
and foremost.
Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
Right, those are rides. That's food, that's that's craziness.
Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
That's why whenever we do these stories, whatever we do
these stories like I did I do that, it's an
impactful thing like that the kid Durham. I know I
bring this up a lot, but it's it's something that
impacted me because it's not just the story. You got
to think about the people involved in the mindset. So
that kid who got shot over some failed wrappers beef
(01:16:09):
thought he was going to get a snow cone. But
you were a kid and you heard you were gonna
get a snow co.
Speaker 1 (01:16:14):
How what was your daylight?
Speaker 2 (01:16:16):
How better did your day get knowing that snow cones
were in your future? Holy crap? And then you go
where we just get snow cones. There's gas station that
have and me scoop him and then he put the
syrup on behind the counter, and there was one guy
who was very stingy with the syrup. So you had
to like time it to make sure the woman who
(01:16:36):
worked there was the syrup because she's like, ah syrup
for days and not that guy who hates kids obviously
wouldn't give us enough syrup. That's kids thinking, that's kid's mindset.
So let's kind of turned into the theme of this show.
Let me, let me get back to this. So Jean Pierre,
we were looking to see, all right, so what's the
White House press briefing gonna look like? The answer is, well,
(01:16:58):
not really a briefing, more of a gaggle shot. There's
airplane noise and all the rest of that stuff. But
people just want to know what is the White House's
official position on this pardon stuff. After we ran the
super cut yesterday of Jean Pierre on four separate occasions
saying you to latterly that it wouldn't happen, how do
(01:17:20):
you square that?
Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
Well, let's go.
Speaker 3 (01:17:21):
I wanted to ask you, could those statements now be
seen as lies from the American people? Is there really incredibility?
Speaker 1 (01:17:27):
Is you here?
Speaker 8 (01:17:28):
Given now this announcement course of all, One of the
things that the President always believes is to be truthful
to the American people. That is something that he always
truly believes.
Speaker 1 (01:17:37):
By the way, that might who prep that might be
the biggest life she's ever told.
Speaker 2 (01:17:43):
Oh why is this thing screed? I'm sorry I hit
the wrong button there. We have to listen to her again.
Speaker 3 (01:17:47):
I wanted to ask you, could those statements now be
seen as lies.
Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
From the American people?
Speaker 3 (01:17:52):
Is there really a credibility?
Speaker 8 (01:17:55):
First of all, one of the things that the president
always believes is to be truthful to the American people.
That is something that he always truly believes.
Speaker 3 (01:18:03):
He changed this.
Speaker 8 (01:18:04):
Decision this weekend, so let's be very clear about that.
Speaker 3 (01:18:07):
He says it himself.
Speaker 5 (01:18:08):
Until soon, could the next round of you know, pardons
could come.
Speaker 1 (01:18:14):
I don't have a timeline for you.
Speaker 8 (01:18:15):
As you know, this usually happens towards the end, and
so the President is going through that process. So I'm
not going to get ahead of him, but you can
expect more announcements to come.
Speaker 1 (01:18:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:18:27):
Keith Oberman, that insane individual who it just shows you
how it shows you how.
Speaker 1 (01:18:39):
One can so.
Speaker 2 (01:18:42):
Destroy their brand Keith. Because everyone watched Keith Oberman on
Sports Center and loved the guy. I did that the
Berman Oberman all that era of Sports Center was amazing.
I don't recognize it now. And then Keith Oberman moment,
he's like, hey, you want to hear my thought on politics?
Speaker 1 (01:18:57):
You're just like, oh my gosh, that guy is insane.
Speaker 2 (01:19:00):
Yesterday was on was posting video after video demanding that
Joe Biden pardon.
Speaker 1 (01:19:06):
Are you ready for this? All Democrats?
Speaker 4 (01:19:11):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:19:11):
No, no, no, not all Democrats? And a why all
Democrats and not just all Democrats? Basically anybody who want
to pardon all the FBI wants to pardon.
Speaker 1 (01:19:22):
Like just so, I I what is that?
Speaker 4 (01:19:24):
Like?
Speaker 2 (01:19:25):
Millions and millions of pardons if you're just in DC,
and then how the hell many House in the any
but anybody in any lever of government? Uh, who's who's
a Democrat? He wants Joe Biden issue a blanket pardon.
Speaker 3 (01:19:36):
Listen to that.
Speaker 2 (01:19:37):
And by the way, this is another thought that crossed
my mind. I can remember if I mentioned this earlier
on the show.
Speaker 1 (01:19:42):
I said it to Ross. How long do you think?
Speaker 2 (01:19:47):
I don't think Hunter found out about that pardon At
the moment we did. They were just all together for Thanksgiving,
Like he had to tell his kid, if you're Hunter
Biden and your dad on Thursday told you on Sunday.
He was gonna to pardon you for everything you've ever
done for the last eleven years up to that day.
(01:20:08):
How do you not go on the most amazing, insane
bucket list crime spree I bought up.
Speaker 3 (01:20:14):
I'd be on some national treasure crimes.
Speaker 1 (01:20:17):
Yeah, be careful, you gotta be careful. They have to
be federal crimes.
Speaker 2 (01:20:21):
So like, if you're gonna go murder a bunch of hookers,
you gotta take them across the state line before you
murder them, pro tip, and and so it's a federal
but yeah, the world's your oyster do.
Speaker 3 (01:20:31):
Yeah, I'm stealing the Declaration of Independence. That's why I
got I'm taking a well, I guess it'd be my
dad into the caverns of Mount Vernon kidnapping. Nothing you
can do.
Speaker 1 (01:20:41):
Yeah, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (01:20:43):
Oh? Yeah, I see this piece of paper here. Oh,
you know, like the nickelback saying who who's photographed? Now
it's my pardon walking around. I'd been walking around just
punching people while I hold it up with the other hand.
Speaker 3 (01:20:53):
He'd be like the ultimate sovereign citizen, where.
Speaker 1 (01:20:57):
You can't do any federal crime. Yeah, you can't do
nothing to me. Did you'd be the first sovereign citizen
to work where it worked, right?
Speaker 3 (01:21:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:21:04):
The cops like, okay, you're you're driving.
Speaker 2 (01:21:07):
No, I'm traveling all right, all right, and I'm traveling
with my pardon for the last eleven You're free to go, sir.
Like it's it's incredibly sad story and there's so much
we don't know. But and you probably you probably heard
initially about this. So you have this guy in Hawaii,
(01:21:28):
his daughter who comes to Los Ange it comes to California.
She's a photographer, the young woman, she's doing her thing.
I think she's thirty, twenty ninth or as she's twenty nine.
When she they can't find her, disappears. Nobody's talked to her,
nobody knows where she went, and she had been in
(01:21:51):
I think she was in LA for a week, a
little less than a week.
Speaker 1 (01:21:55):
And then people are like, hey, what happened to Hannah?
Her name is Hannah.
Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
And dad's sitting there in Hawaii, and as you can imagine,
he's like, what happened to my daughter? And so he
he literally like just leaves everything in Hawaii and and
and comes and spends in an order amount of time
hunting around Los Angeles trying to find his daughter, and
(01:22:21):
sadly back on the eighth of November, I think it was, yeah,
here we go, eighth of November.
Speaker 1 (01:22:28):
She dumped her phone at some point, according to police,
and so that you know, now Dad's there, he's on
the ground, he's.
Speaker 2 (01:22:36):
Got people, there's rallies being held, signs fine hand a
last scene eleven eleven what what?
Speaker 1 (01:22:42):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (01:22:43):
And then tragically, after he spends a weeks looking for
his daughter, he he killed himself. That is, that's at
least the what police believe happened. He he died, and
they say they feel it's a suicide. Probably just like
(01:23:05):
my my daughter, my my my the light of my life.
Speaker 1 (01:23:09):
She went over and she went over to the mainland.
Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
She went to California and and and she just got
disappeared and how can I live with myself? And it's
so tragic. And the update is they just found out yeah,
she kind of she went to Mexico. Now they don't
know where she is in Mexico, but she they have
her crossing into Mexico because of course they film all
that stuff, so they sire they see her going through
(01:23:34):
Mexican customs and then you know, into into Mexico and
so it's like, did she go down there to party,
she meet a guy, gal, I don't know, whatever, and
it's like, how do you come back now?
Speaker 1 (01:23:52):
I mean, and I want to be very clear, I
don't know what happened her. Maybe she went to Mexico
just to have a little fun and something horrible happened
to her. So this is not me judging on it.
It's just the scope of this story.
Speaker 2 (01:24:03):
But if she went to Mexico because she just was
getting away from all of this and you know, some
met somebody or whatever it is, it gives me those
vibes of that guy. Remember that story we had before
we went on vacation where the guy pretended in Wisconsin
to die in a canoe accident and then went to
like Uzbekistan for some girl he met on some.
Speaker 1 (01:24:28):
Bridside or whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:24:29):
And he's just over in Uzbekistan and they're combing the lake,
his family's holding stuff, and then they find out, yeah,
he's just over there with this new girl who may
or may not exist, who the hell knows what he
found when he got there, And they're like, why don't
you come back? If you're that dude, how do you
come back? If you're this woman and you're in Mexico
and you just decide you want to be away. And
I don't know the full relationship, but this guy, the
(01:24:51):
dad went over and killed himself. He was so despondent
over not being able to find.
Speaker 1 (01:24:59):
His daughter, what happened to his daughter.
Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
The whole it's it's it's wildly tragic. So at this point,
at this point, that's, uh, that's that's what we know,
and that's just the latest little update. But that is
one of those stories that I'm following and I wish
it didn't exist for obvious reasons, but just absolutely heartbreaking.
Speaker 1 (01:25:21):
And again, maybe something happened to her.
Speaker 2 (01:25:24):
She just went down for, you know, to go party,
or I've I've literally crossed into Mexico when I was
in school in California to go party, which in retrospect
probably wasn't the smartest thing, but a lot of people
do that down there around Tijuana. So maybe, but also
maybe she went there and something bad happened, which unfortunately
(01:25:44):
sometimes happened. I don't know, but that whole thing is
just a gut punch when when when you read about it,
all right, I don't want to do that story next
to the other one.
Speaker 1 (01:25:56):
It can't be helped.
Speaker 2 (01:25:58):
Here's another crazy story on Do you guys know what
The Sarco pod is? Sarco, sar Co, all right, The
Sarco pod is this dude's invention. It's a suicide pod.
Speaker 1 (01:26:12):
And you know what it looks like.
Speaker 2 (01:26:13):
It looks like every space movie where somebody's like, all right,
we're going to Jupiter. We're gonna put you in stasis
for you know, eighteen months or whatever, and they get
in there and they lay down and then they wake
up in Jupiter, although in most of those movies not
all of them wake up.
Speaker 1 (01:26:28):
So spoiler. It looks like that.
Speaker 2 (01:26:31):
And basically you go in there, and the reason it's
a pod, obviously, is it wants to control the air
in there, or in this case, the lack of oxygen
coupled with an im mess amount of nitrogen and a
few other things and Bengo Mango, you you're suicided.
Speaker 1 (01:26:46):
So this guy builds this thing.
Speaker 2 (01:26:50):
It's a whole company, man, it's a whole company, this
Sarco thing in Switzerland, and this American woman, she's sixty four.
Speaker 1 (01:26:59):
She decides I'm out she had some immuno defire.
Speaker 2 (01:27:02):
I don't know exactly what she had, but so she
flies over there, and to do this, they hold the
pod to like a cabin.
Speaker 1 (01:27:11):
On the border of Germany and switch.
Speaker 2 (01:27:13):
They get a mountain chalet, set the thing up, They
put her in there, and and it is legal to
kill yourself in Switzerland and Germany and a lot of Europe,
and to assist people to do it more practically.
Speaker 1 (01:27:28):
But once it's done, then the.
Speaker 2 (01:27:30):
Authorities have to come and get the body and do
all that stuff. All right, So with that in mind,
I saw the story reported. I see the story reported,
and then there's a little nugget that's almost like an
afterthought in the initial reporting, and that was what Swiss
officials found. So they show up to get her body
(01:27:53):
and she's got strangulation marks on her neck. What the
heck happened there? Because again, this is is how my
brain works. According to forensic expert, the woman's neck injuries
were severe. Do you so if you're this guy, this
(01:28:14):
doctor Willett, doctor Willlette is the guy's name. Uh, And
there's there's several doctors, but will let is let's see,
he gives a recitation, he says, uh, this is what
he says happened. That two and a half minutes after
the procedure began, the woman appeared to experience severe muscle
cramp in a reaction he described as common and nitrogen induced.
(01:28:35):
Desks an alarm activated, YadA, YadA, YadA. She's still alive.
She's still alive, but she looks really dead. So there's
going over this.
Speaker 1 (01:28:42):
So they're standing outside the pod. But then they're like,
and then she and then she died.
Speaker 2 (01:28:48):
You just dumped all your life savings into building this thing,
and this is your trial run, and this is the
thing you literally did a press for release about, and
you put.
Speaker 1 (01:28:57):
That woman in there.
Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
You didn't help, You didn't you didn't go, oh well,
just this one time, and then we'll like, how how
crazy is that?
Speaker 9 (01:29:08):
Man?
Speaker 2 (01:29:10):
It clearly looks like I don't know how you get
the bruising and everything that goes along, Like if you
ever watched Law and Order, right, half the time somebody
died for strangulation.
Speaker 1 (01:29:20):
It's all bruised around their.
Speaker 2 (01:29:21):
Neck and stuff, and and that is a thing that
also happens with people who are strangled. Right, It's a
very violent thing. If so she's in her her go
to sleep pod and now she's got strangulation marks around
her neck. I feel like maybe your pod needs some updating.
It's not good at what it's supposed to do.
Speaker 1 (01:29:42):
At this point.
Speaker 2 (01:29:43):
Though Swiss authorities say they're looking into it now, the
doctors aren't saying anything, so who the hell knows. But yeah,
so if you were thinking of, i know, using one
of those, they haven't worked all the bugs out maybe,
So there you go, all right, eight forty three Ray
Stagic from the Weather Challenge to walk.
Speaker 1 (01:29:58):
And go and do the morning Good morning sir. Yeah, yeah,
it's one of those days.
Speaker 2 (01:30:06):
How do you you're college football guy? How do you
feel about a state? What's the what's Clemson Stadium's name?
Speaker 10 (01:30:13):
Oh gosh, well they call it Death Valley Memorial Memorial Stadium.
Speaker 1 (01:30:18):
Memorial Stadium. Do you like stadiums that have sponsored names
on them? We know college football?
Speaker 4 (01:30:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:30:24):
I known so North n C State. It's Carter Finley,
which is the name. Two people whose names uh at
different eras were attached to make this thing. And they're like, no,
we're gonna, we're gonna, We're gonna go out and get
a big old check for this thing.
Speaker 3 (01:30:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:30:40):
Well, I mean now they have to write I would
have been named after the park that is a Jason
to n C State the parks that uh Pulland Park
and Dix Park.
Speaker 1 (01:30:52):
I'm not making this up.
Speaker 2 (01:30:53):
We have Pulling Parking Dicks Park across the street from
each other, so we call it the Pulling Dicks Park
complex here right.
Speaker 1 (01:30:59):
Show they want to name the stadium that, I'm fine,
just that's just for the lines, just to hear, just
to hear.
Speaker 2 (01:31:07):
The sports center guys have to say, let's go to
Pula Dick Stadium and see what happened.
Speaker 1 (01:31:14):
Though they probably wouldn't have. Yeah, they wouldn't.
Speaker 10 (01:31:16):
Yeah, we're not that difficult, are we not.
Speaker 2 (01:31:21):
Every Saturday I get to get a little yeah, all right,
yeah we're talking be laughing about the weather probably.
Speaker 3 (01:31:26):
Not so well.
Speaker 10 (01:31:27):
Yeah, and maybe we'll talk a little bit more up
a Chilian Charlotte. You know, I'm gonna go acc first
the SEC that's in the dome so in Atlanta that
there's not gonna be a problems, even though to be
chilly there too, but uh, it's gonna be dry. The
Southeast gonna stay dry after this little bout of snow
we've had this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:31:44):
How about this one?
Speaker 10 (01:31:46):
Ain't a snowfall? Trinity, North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (01:31:48):
Want did you get a couple of pictures from some
of our listeners live a little on the other side
of Greensboro.
Speaker 10 (01:31:52):
So yep, yeah, and up to two and a half
in the mountains, uh fan or Elk, North Carolina. Uh
that's a near beach mountain four inches in eastern Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (01:32:03):
And this clipper comes through, and you know you don't
have to tell people where is Carolina? Is there another man?
Speaker 10 (01:32:11):
I don't know, Maybe there is. Any time I say,
like Kingston, New York, I always got to say Kingston,
New York because you know it's Kingston Africa.
Speaker 2 (01:32:18):
We know what happened on the show I made up.
I was making fun of West Virginia and I made
up the game of a town.
Speaker 1 (01:32:24):
A booger hole.
Speaker 2 (01:32:25):
I said, boo boo old West Virginia, right, just thinking
it was made up. As somebody said, there is it's
a freaking town, man, Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1 (01:32:33):
Yeah, it is a thing.
Speaker 4 (01:32:35):
I know.
Speaker 10 (01:32:35):
Can you can you imagine? But yeah, but most of
the snow flurries and snow showers are going east and
south now, and we'll get into some sunshine if you're
not in it already, and the chili numbers will continue.
I think we struggled today, I mean with numbers getting
maybe at are just above forty degrees tonight in the twenties,
low twenties at that for many of us, even some
teens around from the triad west near fifty. Tomorrow most
(01:32:58):
of us made upper forties and mostly and then Thursday
sunshine little bit fifties, but the gusty breeze will come
out of the northwest in the afternoon, and that's the
next cold front coming in. This one less moisture to
work with, but still colder by Friday morning, back in
the twenties. Cold Friday afternoon upper thirties to low forties,
and then back close to fifty on Saturday, into the
fifties on Sunday, a Sunday weekend coming up with the
(01:33:19):
chance of rain Monday next week. If you look at
the six to ten day does look milder, so I
don't have to worry about at least right now, any
snow to worry about. But it looks like we'll get
temperatures back close to or even above normal, which I
think is upper fifties, mid upper fifties, this tounny year.
Speaker 2 (01:33:34):
I just yeah, just we're gonna start doing all the
three thousand closures thing. Kids are gonna do school for
ten days because a single snowplay and nobody likes right,
all right, thank you appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (01:33:45):
We'll get a back chat with Jeff Bellinger next. Good morning.
Speaker 11 (01:33:48):
Casey stock started the new week and the month with
a mixed session. The now lost a little ground yesterday,
let the NASDAC and S and P five hundred posted gains.
Both closed a record HIGHS futures are narrowly mixed right now.
S and P futures are up one the Nasdaq and
Dow futures are slightly lower. Post election surveys by regional
(01:34:08):
Federal Reserve banks find that American companies are more upbeat
about their prospects. Anticipation of more pro business policies has
pushed sentiment to the highest level in years. The FED
surveys represent another chapter in the so called Trump bump
that started with the stock market rally.
Speaker 1 (01:34:25):
Manufacturers are especially bullish.
Speaker 11 (01:34:28):
More encouraging reports about the holiday shopping season. Mall operator
Simon Property reports, shopper traffic for Friday through Sunday was
up more than six percent from the same three days
last year. An Amazon executive told Women's Where Daily the
company had its biggest Black Friday ever, and Adobe set
late yesterday that Cyber Monday sales were running well ahead
(01:34:49):
of expectations. It is official a record number of people
flew over the Thanksgiving weekend. The Transportation Security Administration says
its screen nearly three point one million passengers on Sunday,
that top the previous record set back in July. And
the Casey convenience stores getting more competition from the big
grocery sellers Walmart and some supermarket chains, or opening smaller
(01:35:13):
format stores to cater to so called fill in shoppers
who buy just a few necessities at a time. The
Wall Street Journal says Whole Foods is among the latest examples.
It's planning to open smaller scale daily shops and urban
areas in a way to win over customers who can't
make it to a traditional Whole Foods market.
Speaker 1 (01:35:32):
Casey, you know what, I like those, But there's.
Speaker 2 (01:35:34):
One, there's like a mini one of those little mini
walmarts down by uh with the beach down there towards
tops them. I always popped in there, so it's a
lot better than going into a big old Walmart. All right,
thank you, sir, appreciate, Okay, have a good day. Absolutely
now they have and they have like one of those
mini Target Target. I mean, living in Minneapolis was weird
because Target like has been testing all different versions of targets,
(01:35:57):
and they always test them, like obviously the Twin cities
where they're headquartered and so like, and then the area
that I lived on the west side, where you have
like Minnetonka and Maple Grove and Plymouth and all that,
that's where they always put them. So like one day
there'd be like a subway sandwich sized shop that's also
a Target. As like five things. This is weirdness, man,
(01:36:18):
but I guess that's what they were all looking for.
So all right, a couple things. What happened in Greensboro
with that police cruiser. Have you guys seen this video?
I tweeted it out yesterday.
Speaker 1 (01:36:29):
Scroll down a little. So you have a Greensboro PD.
Speaker 2 (01:36:34):
SUV cruise, a squad car or a squad cruiser or
whatever they call it, that is clearly parked on the
railroad tracks and that appears to be Jamestown Road right there.
Speaker 1 (01:36:43):
I've driven over these tracks.
Speaker 2 (01:36:46):
And in the video you see the officer scrambling to
get away because he's on the railroad tracks. And here
comes the Carolinian or whatever, the Piedmont or whichever one
of the trains it is, and as you guys probably know,
the train wins as they do, and it just smoked.
Speaker 4 (01:37:01):
This.
Speaker 1 (01:37:01):
This was overnight two nights ago. I saw the video
yesterday after the show. How does that happen? I like,
I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (01:37:11):
And he had the car parked with the lights on
like an officer would do if he was, you know,
there was a call, there was an accident something like that.
Speaker 1 (01:37:18):
But I don't understand why you would park on the
railroad tracks.
Speaker 2 (01:37:21):
And you can clearly see he realizes that he done
ft up, so to speak, because here comes the train
and that's like I was trying to think, but like,
and the only the only thing where I'm I'm like, okay,
well maybe that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (01:37:37):
What was a woman tied to the tracks?
Speaker 4 (01:37:39):
Like?
Speaker 2 (01:37:39):
What was there a mustachioed villain fleeing in the distance,
because otherwise I don't understand that. Now, the City of
Greensboro's out a squad car
