Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Is it is. I'm just gonna let you know that
it is a completely different world from when we last
joined you yesterday was this is a rough day. I mean,
not only do I gotta do morning radio, which you
know that's a whole thing. I'm just going about my
business post show, got some spots, little editing, maybe just

(00:27):
getting a sneak peek on some stories for tomorrow. It's
pretty normal stuff what you do. And I got the diagnosis.
So we're gonna talk about this this morning and this
and I will and I literally is just burning my

(00:47):
brain now nine three am Eastern Eastern. Yesterday I found
out I was stupid. Really hard to admit. I didn't
know I was stupid, which I think is one of

(01:08):
the like that's that's the that's the real peril of
this affliction. Like if you're stupid, you don't know you're stupid.
Why would you you're stupid, you don't know. But at
nine forty three I was informed I was stupid because
I was putting you know, just putting the dubin in

(01:28):
some spots, or putting them in the dub center as
we call it. Would a stupid person know that. I
didn't think that a stupid person would, but a stupid
person does. And then I thought to myself, you know,
one of these other things, it's kind of weird to me,
and having to do with the Epstein files. And then
right as I was having that thought, I saw the

(01:49):
President's truth post at nine forty three, and I was
informed that if I still had questions about the Epstein stuff,
I might be stupid. And I still had questions, and
then there you go. And then I went to web
MD and they told me I had butt cancer. So

(02:11):
I went away from that. But that's web MD. They
always do that. And then I saw the President do
a press confect.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
It's started by Democrats. It's been run by the Democrats
for four years. You had Christopher Ray and these characters
and called me before him, and it's a bad group.
It started. Actually look at the Steele dscier that turned
out to be a total hoax. The fifty one agents,
the intelligence so called intelligence agents, it was a hoax.

(02:38):
It's all been a big hoax. It's perpetrated by the Democrats,
and some stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans fall into the
net and so they try and do the Democrats work anyway.
The Democrats are good for nothing other than these oakses.
They're bad for policy, they're bad for picking candidates they
can get elected, Like in New York we have a

(03:00):
communist rout you can't get elected to actually, but he's
going to destroy the city good, No, I mean I
call it the Epstein Hoaks takes a lot of time
and effort instead of talking about the great achievements we've had,
a great.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Gentleman, I can't, I can't. And then he's gonna talk
about how he eat something something something I didn't know.
And the signs were there, you know, Ross, if I'd
have played this audio you dubbed in yesterday, do you
think maybe I would have not it would have come
in such a shock, Probably because Ross had this audio
yesterday and I just never got to it. Listen to this.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Why they would be so interested? He's dead for a
long time. He was never a big factor in terms
of life. I do understand what the interest or what
the fascination is. I really don't.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
And the credible information has been given.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Don't forget we went through years. If the Mullow were
hunting all of the different things, this.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, that is true, which was all fair. All that
is to rent, but I got age numbers.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
We have to see a case would be of interest
to anybody.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
It's pretty boring stuff. It's shorted, but it's boring not that.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
And I don't understand why it keeps going. Uh, I think, well, really,
only pretty bad people, including fake du just want to.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Keep something like it. I like that. I have super
am battled information.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Let them give it anything that's credible.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
I would say, let them have it.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Boy, HiT's keep coming this morning. I I don't I
don't know. Rashiall we call the show man. I don't
know if I'm smart enough to call this.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
I mean, listen, man. To be fair, I told you
you were in peril.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
You have but no, but this would mean I'm in periled.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
You got you forgotten letters. This is the starting of
the peril.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
What's the peril?

Speaker 4 (04:49):
What did I do? You ignore me at your own peril?

Speaker 1 (04:55):
I don't know what that word means because I'm stupid,
or according to WebMD, have butt cancer. I don't know.
I don't know. It's one of the two. What is
with web MD and butt cancer? I'm not making that up.
Everything's butt cancer. I still have questions I want to

(05:16):
know things. I did see another theory emerge, and I'm curious,
ross have you seen the switcheroo conspiracy theory on the
Epstein stuff?

Speaker 4 (05:29):
Which one is that the switcheroo?

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Okay, so the switcheroo goes like this, The Biden administration
purged it, but then they mocked up fake info that
has that makes Republicans look really bad, and Trump knows
it's fake. Somebody's tried to explain this to me yesterday
that he knows it's fake. But it's now kind of

(05:51):
the the record that's in there, and so if they
release it, they'll be releasing the fake information that the
Democrats mocked up and not the real information, which had
a bunch of Democrats I'm sure in it, and now
it's not and it's not a hard place.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
It's as plausible as anything else I've heard.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Look, the whole thing doesn't make sense. The whole thing
doesn't make sense. But what makes the least sense is
yelling at your base telling them they're stupid if they
have questions when they're they did Rasmuss and polling. Only
twenty percent of America thinks this thing's done. That's not

(06:32):
just a Democrats and a handful of Republicans. That's most
of your people.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
I wonder if anyone's put together a montage of like
Trump on the campaign trail or at the rallies talking
about how he's going to release the you know, the
Epstein stuff.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, no, he does reference it, and I say, here's
the thing. So there's this balance where they're like, ah,
he made it a campaign promise, and I have not
seen the audio where he made a campaign promise, but
he sure talked about it. Now you get over to
Bondi and Bongino and Patel, and I'm gonna give Bongino
a pass because I don't know that he really has

(07:09):
any power here. And you know a lot of people
surmising him that he actually resigned, they're just not announcing
it yet. I don't buy into any of this until
stuff happens. But yeah, man, there's there's definitive tape of
him at least talking about it. And then there's the
in an interview he did I did see yesterday and
he's like, yeah, let's lay it, barrel, let's get it

(07:30):
all out there from last year. So I don't know. Look,
if something's up, if there is an issue if information disappeared,
or even if you're in a position where you're just like, look,
we we can't move forward with charges because x Y.
You guys need to explain it. You gotta go transparent

(07:53):
on this one. This is awful. This is not a
good look. I'm gonna continue to have questions because I'm
stupid and I don't know no better. But I kind
of feel like too, this lets me we have the ross.
We have those employer invalu evaluations, which we've never done
at this company. I don't know when we're gonna do them,

(08:15):
but I'm pretty pumped because I'm just gonna be like,
I'm stupid. I don't know which is perfect. Its perfect
time to be diagnosed with stupid, so I don't have
to have any accountability for any suggestions that they may
give us. But other than that, I'm not I'm not pleased,
or I think I'm not pleased. Again, I'm stupid. I

(08:38):
don't know no better. There the whole thing, man, the
whole thing is just crazy. But we'll truck on. We'll
do what we gotta do. Stephen Kent will join us
at eight oh five. I think I don't know. I'm stupid.
Is that correct? Ross? I have to check on everything. No,

(08:59):
you in it for years that he's on an eight
oh five. Yeah, not the other thing. What did you
think about it? No? No, I'm just clarifying so the
audience knows I'm stupid. I don't know no better. All right,
coming up on the show, we got a crop dust
and crime. That's stupid people material. We're gonna love it.

(09:22):
We got that and ah, just so much insanity. The
NPR stuff's just oh, chef's kiss is what a stupid
person would say. We'll get to that as well, but
right now, six sixteen, we'll take a break, try to
be less stupid when we come back in just a
few Which do you think is in better health cognitively,

(09:44):
your call screener, computer or Mitch McConnell. If you had
to pay, like you're forced here.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
You got, man, that is a tough one. I'd have
to go to the call screener. I'd have to.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Think, because it'll eventually come around.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
Right eventually, Yeah, yeah, I mean it's been booting up
for about thirty forty minutes, but it'll get there.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Right, But it wasn't was your call? Let me ask
a question was the call screener in a press conference
and asked a question about whether they're going to run
again in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
Make sure no it was not.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Oh no, yeah, I think your callscreener wins man. Dude,
can we cognitive test all of these people? It was
so funny. I texted somebody in Washington who you know,
but I'm not gonna say just because maybe it's weird,
but I texted him yesterday right after Trump tweeted that thing.
I'm like, are you anywhere near the White House? You're like, well,
as a matter of fact, I'm across the street, and
I'm like, can you go to a wellness check something?

(10:36):
Please go? He was very diplomatic in the way that
he answered me. So just craziness. Man. I feel like,
is this what Peter Griffith felt like in that one
episode when he took the IQ test and they're like, ah,
you scored very low. I'm not going to say the
name of the episode, but you know the one, dude,

(11:01):
yesterday was a disaster, you know, and it's fun. But
let me say this just off the bat, because I
saw a bunch of Democrats who are very, very excited, like, ah,
you guys get it now, blue, No matter who no, no, no,
you guys are still worse by a mile, by a mile,

(11:21):
I can dude. My my default set is I hate
everybody or I'm mad at everybody, So like, I don't don't.
I don't know if you think this is a hack
on your problem with like talking to young men that
you were, you know, the thing you spent like twenty
million to bring in linguistic consultants over I this isn't

(11:41):
moving that, but it is still an issue, and I
don't understand it. I have no idea what's going on.
This is that I remember talking about how Ross and
I are pretty much ninetieth percentile predicting human behavior. I
have no idea what this is. And I still and
I and I've said it yesterday and I'll say it again.

(12:01):
And Ross brought it up off the air. If this
is some weird for d Chess and he plays that,
I will. I'll do a whole show about how I
was wrong. I'm stupid, obviously, And I'll even let you
weirdo for D Chess conspiracy people who have to comment
first in anything that's even mildly critical, I'll even give
you a pass. I might take somebody out of the

(12:25):
Nburu folder, but we'll have to see where that goes.
Do they have stupid leave for iHeart? I don't even know. Yeah,
I got some more days off. Jeez man, all right,
eight eight, eight ninth, Wait, hold on, I don't know

(12:46):
we can call screen yet, so I'll hold off on
that because again Ross's cole screeners got some problems, not
Mitch McConnell level problems where you just stone cold freeze
there and some woman has to walk up who's trying
to figure out and then repeat the question to you
from inches away and then you still don't respond. I

(13:07):
don't think he's running for reelection. If he is, God
help Kentucky man. Whole thing is crazy, But we have
quite a few other things to get to, including one
of the creepiest stories I've seen in forever. So there's
a story on Californa. Imost didn't put it. I almost

(13:29):
didn't read this thing because the headline was, I don't know,
a little ambiguous. But when you read it, you realize
the headline doesn't do a very good job of explaining
exactly what's going on, and it has to do with
an Asian couple Guan Jun Juan and Sylvia Zang. All right,

(13:53):
so he's sixty five, she's thirty eight, and they live
in a really nice house in California. I would dare say, mansion,
big old mansion. And you need a big old mansion.
And you know why you need a big old mansion
because you got twenty one kids, but you didn't birth
any of them. Are you interested? Now? Oh, they're yours biologically.

(14:19):
So twenty one kids have been rescued from a California
couple who allegedly farmed out their fertilized embryos to multiple surrogates.
And when I say that, they when they were doing
it all back on back, on back, seventeen of the
kids are toddlers or infants under three years. So you

(14:40):
have seventeen children between the ages of I guess zero
and three of the twenty one, and they were all
the product of these two. However, Sylvia carried none of them.
As I understand, every single child was birthed through some

(15:01):
surrogate mom for some financial arrangement, which is legal but
just strange. So the question becomes, why do you need
twenty one kids? I know you've got a big old house.
I saw the house in the story there, And so
authorities are wondering if it's a trafficking issue, which then

(15:21):
makes this thing much crazier. What do you mean by that?
Are they farming kids to traffic? And in what sense?
I'm not gonna dwell. I am gonna dwell on that today,
but it's not gonna be the only thing I dwell on.
So that's my agreement with you. So back to California.
Twenty one kids rescued from a California couple sixty five

(15:44):
and thirty eight year old who they're all their kids.
She didn't carry one of them, basically, And this is
why I believe that Obviously there's a nefarious reason, because
no sane person would want fifteen toddlers at the same time.

(16:05):
I don't even have kids, and I'm pretty sure that's
the rule. Ross. Would you want fifteen toddlers in your
house at the same time at any even if you're
just babysitting for an hour?

Speaker 4 (16:16):
No, I would not. No, with that many kids, I
don't think. I mean, I think I'm responsible with with
you know, my kid, right, and I am a good
parent overall, But I mean, fifteen is that a that's
a heavy lift man.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Under the age fifteen at that age, Nope, if you
got them all spread out in some weird irish thing,
that's you know, that is what it is. You want
to have that many kids. I'm not here to stop
you as you're taking care of them, but fifteen under three,
that's that's like dot That's one of the things Dante
spoke of right there, right can't even imagine. And then

(16:54):
you have help that you hired who may have abused
one to the point of a traumatic brain in and
the whole thing comes undone. Please reviewed surveillance footage from
inside the home allegedly showing the nanny shaking and hitting
the infant. The video also showed other nannies. They have
mult they have they have multiple nannies. So the question becomes,

(17:18):
what are you gonna do with a bunch of kids
that age. It's not like they're on a farm and
you know, it's eighteen seventy and you know you're gonna
lose six to tuberculosis or something by They live in Arcadia, California.
They live in what is clearly a multi million dollar mansion,
huge house, and they're doing all the surrogacy stuff, and

(17:43):
they they presented to the mothers that they were like
a company handling it. And then it turns out they
are the company, and so now the whole thing's getting weird.
One of the surrogate mothers said she had no idea
they were keeping the kids for themselves. Horrific, disturbing, damaging, emotionally,
said one of the surrogate mothers from Pennsylvania. So they

(18:05):
went all over the country to find these women. And
now she says she wants to keep the baby, which
is interesting because technically biologically the kid's not hers, but
she birthed the kid. But you know, she's not the
mom in this case. The DNA is clearly these two

(18:26):
two neighbors said the couple's is four million dollars. By
the way, the house they live in, which might be
a fixer upper in parts of California, but this one
is ten thousand square feet. It looks like a hotel man,
which I guess she'd have to have m Let's see here,

(18:47):
there's a quote in here. Police are still searching for
all the nannies involved. Having so many kids through surrogacy
is not illegal, according to whoever KABC television talked to.
But it does raise a lot of questions, like who
would self inflict upon themselves? Fifteen kids under the age

(19:08):
of three, twenty one total. I think the oldest is
seventeen and is also a surrogate, so I don't know. Yeah,
the whole thing is super sketchy. Their company, which was
called Mark Surrogacy like Mark like a guy's name, is
no longer in business. California one to fifteen states that

(19:31):
allows women to be paid for surrogacy without conditions. Louisiana
the only state that prohibits all paid sergus. Yeah, I
did not realize that. Yeah, I honestly, you guys need
to fill in the blanks a little bit more like
clearly that does. It doesn't sound like they're doing this
because they want a big family or they really dig

(19:54):
toddlers all at once, So the question becomes what are
they going to do with them? And that's where the
creepy factor pegs up to an eleven. But we'll be
following that story. It's just if you see it, and
the headlines really didn't do it justice to just how
crazy it was, and it was super crazy. All right.

(20:19):
We'll get into a few other things. By the way,
this might be the best diet I've ever heard of.
Let me just throw this in real quick. So we
love our travelers trying to travel with a bunch of
like snakes and spiders and stuff. This one, though, this
one might take the cake officials in Cologne in Germany

(20:40):
there or no, yeah, it is Germany, clone Germany, because
there's Clone Francis. I want to make sure say that
somebody tried to come through the airport with boxes of snackcakes.
They're not Little Debies, They're some German brand or whatever. However,
the snakes were in fact not snack cakes. According to officials,

(21:04):
the uh fifteen pounds of snack cakes when they opened
the boxes some Vitamese brand, rather than cookies with chocolate cakes.
It was fifteen hundred tarantulas, which I didn't realize you
had to smuggle tarantulas. Maybe they're a special kind. Yeah,
the uh they said there was a noticeable smell upon

(21:25):
opening the packages, which clearly did not smell like chocolate
cakes of any sort. And then boom they made the
discovery they're all individually wrapped. The whole thing is. But
what a great diet though, right right, so you go
into your kitchen, you're you know, you're you're like, ah,
cake cake and you know, cakes what got you here?

(21:47):
And you shouldn't you shouldn't be going for the cake,
but they were just sitting on the counter. You open
it up, but fifteen hundred tarantulas come out. I don't
think you're shoveling cake into your face hole man.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
I mean, I'll think twice about it. Like if I
went to the pantry, I'm like, ah, my bag, like
weakness or the little what's your cheat? Yeah, I know
the little Debbie cosmic brownies. I think those are incredible. Like,
but if I were like, oh, I look at those
like a camel spiders, Yeah, open it up and I'm like, oh,
maybe I'll know. I'll just have one instead of two,
you know what I mean, I'll think about it.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Or none, none because spiders all over you.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
Or we'll just pick up the box and I'll be like, oh,
like flail around so the spiders get off hardio.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah cause this adio. That's a good point.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
And then I'll eat the cosmic brownies.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
No, there is no brownies in this scenario. There's no brownies.

Speaker 4 (22:31):
There's got to be some of the box.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Man, are you saying unders under the fifteen?

Speaker 4 (22:36):
I'm gonna find it.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
Okay, it's just stick your hand in there, no problem,
Good job, Indiana Jones, do your thing. Uh yeah, that's awful.
But you know, if you have somebody in your life
who's trying to lose weight and yet you still have
stuff around the house because not everyone you know, the
kids need snacks or you're not, and uh, just fill
it with tarantulis. Man, do your partner a FA and

(23:02):
get them that extra cardio, get them so they never
trust where it says cake. Again, you you're doing them
a service. Man. This is this is good advice and
I'm just happy we're here to give it to you.
So what kind of charges is that? And again tarantlas
are so like, yeah, taranslas everywhere. These must be some

(23:24):
like super charge. Well they're from Vietnam, so they're probably
some crazy evil tarantula. Because Southeast Asia does spiders bro
not like Australia but pretty close. Oh in those u
and then those horrible spiders in the Middle East. I've
seen people try to smuggle those two and I don't
understand that either. Let's see here. Unfortunately, Customs officials do

(23:48):
not believe most of the tarantulas will survive. That's too bad.
See they'd been on a plane for twelve Well that's clear,
but so would the person. Yeah, I don't know. Here
we go. Criminal proceedings are underway. The charges involved not
declaring animals to customs and not paying duties. What's the
tax on? What's the spider tax in Germany? It's probably

(24:10):
pretty they love taxes over there, somewhat significant. So the
cosmic brownie's good. I'm not a chocolate guy, but as
far as brownies go, is it a good brownie?

Speaker 4 (24:23):
It's not even like a brownie. It's just like a
solid piece of fudge. Oh yeah, with some like you know,
cosmic sprinkles on.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
It or whatever. Ah okay, so it's very colorful. Is
it like chewy like chewy pudge?

Speaker 4 (24:35):
Yeah yeah it is?

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah? Okay, all right, and that's what you want. Yeah,
fill it with spiders. That's all you gotta do. Rossmolt
cheat no more? All right? Coming up on the show
the NPR PBS Insanity just got me yesterday, including the
CEO of NPR, who was on CNN.

Speaker 5 (24:56):
Saying this as far as the accusations that were biased.
I would stand up and say, please show me a
story that concerns you, because we want to know and
we want to bring that conversation back to our newsroom.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Show you the story. Huh. I mean, I feel like
we just pulled tapes from the show for the last
fifteen years. I could make you a definitive list. I
did see that the congressman from Louisiana, mister Kennedy, he
had some suggestions, so we'll get to those. But dude,
he is funny man Kennedy. I don't know if it's

(25:29):
the delivery or the drawl or the misuse of phrases sometimes,
which we do on the show here, but not intentionally,
Like it is funny to watch him kind of excoriate people.
He's very good at it. He's probably my favorite living Kennedy,
even though he's not those Kennedy's, so just for the
entertainment he brings me. But he had some thoughts, so

(25:51):
we'll get into that. And the great civil rights violation
known as crop dusting. So lots to get to sixty
back in just a few only took like forty five
minutes to boot up this.

Speaker 4 (26:04):
I mean, it is working, but just a fair warning.
I feel I'm getting a feeling. I feel like it's
in peril. So why does everything in peril make haste?

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Well, I can only haste as fast as we can haste. Look,
there's no way, I'm just shutting the show down. And
then a secret agent man calls it eight oh five
Stephen Kent, and then he's not there, and then he's
mad at me, and that's not good.

Speaker 4 (26:28):
Right, then he's gonna murder you with a book or something.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Imagine now with the skills that man has clearly, so
we'll chat with him coming up at eight oh five.
All right, So I played this cut from the MPR CEO.
She's on the CNN yesterday, and she said.

Speaker 5 (26:41):
This, as far as the accusations that were biased, I
would stand up and say, please show me a story
that concerns you, because we want to know and we
want to bring that conversation back to our newsroom.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah you don't, You really don't. And I remember seeing
your newsroom too, where you had like a guy who
used to work in the newsroom and he's like, hey,
everyone's a giant moonbat and his career is done. Wait,
do we really acknowledge that. But there were those who
took up the challenge. Hey, if there's a story that

(27:10):
you have a problem with, maybe bring it up. And
Senator Kennedy was read to go. He had some receipts,
and you know what, I'd say, these are some pretty
good examples.

Speaker 6 (27:20):
Here's another headline from NPR, how racism became a marketing.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Tool for country music. What I kid you not?

Speaker 6 (27:32):
The American taxpayers are spending half a billion dollars a
year to pay a local station to buy content that
says country.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Music is racist.

Speaker 6 (27:46):
Here's another headline, okay, from NPR, Donald Trump's long embrace
of Vladimer Pewtin. Remember the date.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Yeah, I do Steele dossier.

Speaker 6 (28:04):
Remember that NPR was right in there promoting it.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
Yeah. They also, if you remember, they put out a
nice little thing when the laptop came out. You remember
that tweet they put out. They're like, hey, you probably
noticed we're not covering the laptop. It's because we've decided,
you know, latterly, for with really no ability to determine this,
that it's all fake and we're not going to be
fake faked. He fake fake fake. So that's the one

(28:31):
that really sticks in my mind anyway, I'm sorry, mister Kennedy.
Go ahead.

Speaker 6 (28:34):
Another scientist debunk lab accident theory a pandemic emergence. Here's another.
As Trump pushes theory of virus origins, some see parallels
to lead up and lead up to iraqu What after

(28:57):
Biden's debate performance, the presidential race is unchanged. This was
the debate performance that President Bogen gave.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
After which she got out of the race. Yeah. I
think we personally made fun of that story just out
of sheer ridiculousness because you saw within like thirty seconds
after the debate performance, when they're going into the spin room,
try to talk to the spin people who were actively
avoiding microphones.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
I mean, all you had to do was watch the
debate and be in social media and see the actual
the implosion that was happening, Like it was the Michael
Scott office meme where they're running around going, it's happening
because the fire.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
The fight had been.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Waiting for that moment forever, knowing that he was spaghetti brains,
but every time he would get on stage, he'd be
a different dude, right because they loaded him up on
whatever it was. You know, they gave him the Ivan
Drago shot or the amphetamines and Sille and Michael Jackson.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Get to the concert. Yeah yeah, yeah, oh so bad?
All right? Anymore? Oh you got a lot more? Okay,
go ahead, mister Kennedy.

Speaker 6 (30:01):
Here's one of the headlines at NPR arguments that transathletes
have an unfair advantage, lack evidence to support. That's opinion journalism.
Here's another headline from MBR, A brief history of how
racism shaped interstate highways.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Yeah. I did not know our.

Speaker 6 (30:25):
Interstate highways were racist, super racist.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Concrete Roz. Do you have any racist interstates in Schenectady?
Do you guys have at an interstate up there?

Speaker 4 (30:35):
We do, I don't believe. I don't know if it's racist.
I haven't been there in a while, so yeah, it's
probably super racist.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Now yeah, yeah, they're all racist. I remember specifically New
York was cited for racism because you guys had bridges
that were low on highways to keep black people from
going to the beach. Do you remember that insanity which
doesn't make any sense. I'm like, how much crap do
they have on the top of their car? What are
you talking about? But anyway, all right, and one more. Okay,
all right, one more, mister Kennedy. I think you made

(31:02):
your case, but we'll give you another thirty seconds. Do
it too.

Speaker 6 (31:05):
Biography examines how systemic racism shaped the troubled life of
George Floyd. Christian nationalism support is strongest in rural conservative states.
Another doctor, Rachel Levine, focused on her job at ha
jess Still anti trans politics followed her another example of

(31:27):
opinion journalism. Payfall to your taxpayer dollars. These far right
media figures are getting center stage under Trump.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Oh yeah, they were at that was at the room
thing right, Remember when they tried to put a stage
together that was secretly a white supremacist room and then
they got caught. Yeah, I remember, you know, I didn't
even point out my favorite George Floyd related to NPR
headline A case for looting was a piece that they
ran a case for looting, because you probably think looting's

(32:02):
like bad or something or illegal, but they made a
case for it, so and you you subsidized that. So
the CEO, who, by the way, has a whole host
of very interesting tweets, and probably a few months ago
she was testifying and she got really lit up and
pretended she never tweeted any of this stuff, which was

(32:23):
crazy because it's not like it was from when she
was in high school. It was stuff she tweeted, like
during the presidential race, so I don't think I wrote that.
And then they have like the big poster board with
her tweets. The whole thing was just weird, man. But
did you know it's more than just an ideological thing. This,

(32:43):
my friends, is life and death, or so says Chuck Schumer.

Speaker 7 (32:47):
And these cuts to local stations couldn't happen at a
worse time, with floods and natural disasters front of mind.
When a flood happens, when a tornado touches down, when
a hurricane makes landfall, need immediate, up to date alerts
to stay safe, and sometimes, all too often, public broadcasting
is the only way for people to hear what's going on.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
It's a mass of life and death.

Speaker 7 (33:12):
So why is Donald Trump so hell bent on taking
away funding from local stations that can literally save lives?

Speaker 1 (33:19):
Gotcha, all right? How many people will die? I have?
And I want to point out that I have been
in arguably the most not even are I don't have
to say arguably. I know For a fact, I have
been in the most remote location in the lower forty
eight States which exists out there in what are known

(33:40):
as wilderness areas, areas that if you go out to
the states that have them, and Wyoming has one right
above I grew up, it is illegal for you, as
a non resident or unguided to enter the wilderness area.
That's how remote these things are. That's been my childhood
in there. And let me tell you, you get more

(34:01):
than NPR back there. Do you always have a little
radio with us or we're back there with our trucks
or four wheel drives? Man, so absolute hogwash, like nobody
nothing to save in your life because the car guys
are on? Or uh, what's the quiz show they have
the weekend quiz show that's very pilot. Wait wait, don't
take it's.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
Just so dumb. Never in my lifetime, right, yes, never
my lifetime has there been a storm or something like
that and I've turned to PBS, like or NPR. Yeah,
does anyone do that like I would like? First off,
I would go to this station. That's where I'd go.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
Well, go to whatever radio you're listening to, because that's
how the eas works.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
Yeah, exactly because it's going to be broadcast on all
of them. It's a if it's a big emergency. But
I mean if we're talking TV, you'd go what CBS, ABC, NBC, right,
like the three networks, that's where you go. You go
to PBS.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
Yeah, that's how that goes. And that's why local networks
makes such a big deal out of it. Get all
that local coverage. You get to all that local coverage,
you get to run more ads. It builds your brand.
Everyone wants to be branded as the you know, the
the weather go to. But you know, when it comes

(35:11):
to radio, the ES machine works, whether you're listening to
this or you're listening to the uh, the public broadcaster,
it's the same box. I know, it's shocking. Yeah, you're
gonna hear the same thing if it's sent down.

Speaker 4 (35:27):
Yeah, like you said a few days ago, you mean
you you explained this in detail just a few did
what was it two days ago? Where you know it
takes over you don't even have power over it. It's
just it's just going to turn on. Man.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
Yeah, yes, it was it yesterday when the whole whole
early segment of the show on Monday, Yeah, Monday yeah, Monday, Tuesday,
I get done with the segment of Ross. Like, by
the way, you're not on the air, and I know
what that means. It doesn't mean our equipment broke, which
it could mean that, but he would give more detail.
And first thing I said to you, it's like oh yeah, yes, yeah.
Because it's in Ross's studio and it literally has a

(35:58):
speaker on it. There's nothing you can do. Man, it
does what it does. So Chuck Schumer is a lunatic,
all right. Amy Clovish are the Senator from Minnesota also waiting,
look at what this is for.

Speaker 8 (36:10):
Just as we've seen these weather disasters, including horrifically in Texas,
but the fires in Arizona and the like in many
remote areas or in states like Florida with hurricane seasoned
upon us, they rely on a series of public broadcasting
to get alerts out. And when it works well, when
you actually have a system set up, it works well.

(36:32):
This is not the time to cut back on public
radio and public TV.

Speaker 9 (36:37):
And one thing people.

Speaker 8 (36:37):
Don't know two to one on the percentage that comes
from federal funding, two to one, it's double for rural
the percentage over what it is for urban and other stations.
So that's the case we're going to be making, in
addition to the obvious on the foreign aid when it's
really about.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
Our security, when we're in the middle.

Speaker 8 (36:58):
Of all these peace negotiations the Mid East, why would
you mess around with funding that people have relied on
and trust America to provide.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Well, One, a lot of people don't trust them for
all the reasons that the Senator laid out. And two,
this is why this is so great, Amy Klobashar, because
I used to broadcast in your state, do you. And
and in the chain of the EAS there are originator
stations which where it goes through first, and then other
stations tether through with their EAS. I'm not going to

(37:28):
get into all the details of it, but it's a
little pyramid scheme. But not it's not a scheme. It's
just the way that the system works. And so in Minnesota,
which she represents, and in the very same county where
she used to be the county prosecutor, Hennepin County, which
is Minneapolis, the originator for the state of Minnesota is

(37:51):
not public radio. It's WCCO, which is a private CBS
broadcasting owned radio station there and they originate, and yes,
it does go through public radio, and then it goes
through the all the you know, the standard commercial fms
and ams, WCCO is and AM with FM translators.

Speaker 4 (38:11):
And I mean a lot of people get their alerts
now from their phone, right correct, Yes, yes, and your
phone is with you pretty much twenty four to seven
for most people. And it's like, you know, if there's
something really serious, if a tornado is coming in your area,
down your block, your phone's going to you know, go
off like an air hoorn and warn you of it.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
And the messaging that is sent out is not staff
at public radio doing it. I just want to be
clear because that's the impression they're wanting to give that
it's some newsroom at public radio that's sending the aas.
That's not who sends the as. This National Weather Service
does it. And there's a couple others that can do
it for like amber alerts and stuff. There's a system
in a way that it happens, but it's not just

(38:51):
some dedicated room at public radio that Trump's coming.

Speaker 4 (38:54):
No, I mean, and then I've done this, you know,
we've done this for a long time, right, But I've
been in this business for twenty eight years. One of
my friends from High Schoo works at the NPR station
up and All Buty in New York. He's had that
job for the total of twenty eight years, so that
I've been we've been in the business at the same time.
He's been at that same studio, the same station. And
you know what he does every day he shows up,

(39:15):
He pushes one button and he sits there. That's what
he does. That's it. He has no it's a really
nice button too. I mean it's a nice stable job.
I'm happy for him. But he doesn't do anything nothing.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
Yeah, you know, it's the tale of two radios, man.
But I just want you to know that you're us,
that we and the public broadcaster here, we we have
the same responsibilities. We give the same effort on these things.
When it comes to ees alerts. It's it's it just
is what it is. And if you worked in radio,

(39:49):
you'd understand how ridiculous these two sound. You would know.

Speaker 4 (39:55):
Yeah, because they run that National show right, it like
it goes across you know, NPR, it's whatever they run
in the morning. But it's just like, yeah, you know,
he's just the boring He just pushes one button to
make sure it's on the air, and then he just
sits there. But he doesn't control the the eas or.

Speaker 1 (40:08):
The baby sad stuff. It's boring, man. I used to
baby said Twins broadcast in Minnesota when I was Yeah,
you have a Twins game on the the AM station
we had there. That was part of my duties. You
get in there, you have one live there's like one
live local break per hour, and the top of the

(40:28):
hour you got to make sure that the the the
legal idea. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 4 (40:33):
My first real paid gig was I were in Yankee
games in the country station there. You go up there
in Albany, Man and it was like I was super
like stressed and how to get it right and you know,
figure out where you go to commercials. And then my
first my first shift, we were like three and a
half minutes early, so I had to find a song
to fill and I'm like panicking because like first days

(40:54):
sitting there getting paid, I want to do a good broadcast, right, Oh,
I got three and a half minutes to fill. I'm
going to find a song that it's that time perfectly.
So I go into the music library and I filter
it bye bye. Uh had a different system, so it
wouldn't be like, you know that sort of thing. So
I'm gonna find a three minutes, thirty two seconds whatever
it was, fine, you go search by times. Yeah, I

(41:17):
find it. I play it, and I immediately want to
die because over the air is playing Frosty the Snowman
in the middle of June.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
Did the Yanks get iced or did they?

Speaker 4 (41:30):
As I didn't look at what the title was. I
just looked at the time.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
Yeah, that Christmas music. What's you because you're working in
the system, doesn't do anything all year, waits for its month.

Speaker 4 (41:42):
I'm never gonna work again. They didn't fire you, though, No,
So I didn't hear a word about it. Didn't hear
a single thing because I waited all week for a
phone call. It's before emails, so a phone call or something.
And I show it for my next shift on the
next weekend, and the program director walks in and we
have a commons and I'm waiting for him to bring
it up, and I'm thinking, oh, man, he doesn't even know,

(42:03):
he never never heard it, doesn't know, and so yeah,
we have this big conversation. He's like, all right, all right,
have a great show, Frosty, and he just leaves, Yes,
that's what.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
The radio, that's the good that's the good stories right there. Man. Yeah, man,
you got you know why because the site you kept
it on the air. That's it entry level. Just keep
it on the air. It's it's harder than you think
when you're first starting out, dude.

Speaker 4 (42:29):
It's so stressful, man, the panic, especially.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
Back in the day when like you physically had the
fire rightakes, you might have to pull a bunch of
cards for the hour like you just always have. It's
you always have to have something happening. It's it's more
complex than you think when you're when you first get
into it. Now it's like I just sit here and
talk for.

Speaker 4 (42:46):
Three Well grab it, you know. Because I came I
interned in the top forty station and they played everything
off CD. But in the Country station, it was relatively
new to the cluster. Yeah, so they played all their
music off the computer, off a system called audio Vault,
and it was different. So I was like super not
used to it. I'm like, I'm just gonna find something
that's exactly that time. And I did and it filled
it perfectly. But it was Frosty the Snowman in June.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
Well, I'm sorry, aren't you doing your Christmas movies thing
right now? So I don't even want to hear it.
What day are you on?

Speaker 4 (43:17):
I stopped that. I stopped. Yeah, I'm not doing that anymore.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
Oh okay, you guys aren't watching Christmas movies.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
We are just not posting it.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
Oh okay, all right, very good. Yeah, Ross and the
fam have way too many Christmas.

Speaker 4 (43:28):
Yes, the Hayes family one hundred and seventy three days
at Christmas.

Speaker 1 (43:31):
Keeps getting bigger every year. Pretty quick, It'll it'll be
three sixty five and then it'll just be every day.
He's got to watch a Christmas movie. It's quite the commitment,
all right. Seven eighteen here on the KCO Day radio
program coming up? Maybe all right, NPR audio. I have
to get to the big civil rights violation apparently at

(43:53):
the Tarja or wherever they were. So I let me
grab a call here real quick. Andrew, what's up?

Speaker 10 (44:01):
Hey, Good morning, KC. How are you today?

Speaker 1 (44:03):
I'm stupid, sir. I learned I was stupid yesterday.

Speaker 10 (44:07):
But uh, you know, I gotta tell a lot.

Speaker 11 (44:09):
Uh you know.

Speaker 10 (44:10):
I used to be a sales rep for a spectrum,
you know, everyone's favorite invited a seal. But uh, every
TV package that includes BBS. Uh that PBS is included
in into the local channel. So with that you get
all your local news, all your local stations and what not.

(44:30):
I don't know if the senator really knows that, you know,
you can get all that thing stuff he's talking about
on the local news and everything.

Speaker 4 (44:41):
Yeah, no he does.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
But when you're up there and you're lying, uh, none
of that matters.

Speaker 10 (44:48):
And one more points. I mean, even if you want PBS,
you can stream it, but it calls and.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
So I don't know if you HD antenna the things.
So this is you can HD antenna. You can go
get one of those. Yeah, yeah, that'll work very easy.
Yeah yeah, that's pretty much.

Speaker 10 (45:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
Yeah, yeah, no, it's thank you for the caller, Andrew. Yeah,
it's also dumb. It's also dumb, and it's insulting to
people who aren't stupid. But apparently a bunch of us
are stupid now, so maybe you didn't know. All right,
when we come back, this this woman is in tears, man,
she is all broken up over this thing that happened
to her at the store. And uh, I have some theories.

(45:37):
You might have some theories. We'll theory together. We'll do
it next. Hang on, well, I hope you have a
strong constitution or whatever they say, because what happened to
this poor woman that she then immediately ran out and
made a video about is this might be a crime
of the century here or it might just be dudes,

(45:58):
check this out.

Speaker 12 (46:00):
Fresh because it just happened. But my wife and I
just went to the store or the grocery store right
by our house just to buy like junk food and stuff.

Speaker 11 (46:13):
You know.

Speaker 12 (46:13):
I just we're really tired. I just wanted some sweet treats.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
That's fine.

Speaker 12 (46:19):
We were walking down an aisle and there were like
two guys that walked up next to us, you know,
Peyton like walked away and my wife walked away for
just a second, Kanda, they were like snickering to their
like to themselves or something.

Speaker 1 (46:34):
Yeah, Like I.

Speaker 12 (46:37):
Didn't really think much of it. So I'm just looking
at the candy. I'll try to just what candy I want,
big choice, And he walks by and gets like inches
from me and just rips one like farts like this
far from me. That's disgusting to say. I can't even
believe I'm having to say this, but he did. And

(46:58):
about that time, Peyton walked up like didn't witness what happened,
but like seconds later, and I'm like upset, and I
follow after him and I was like, is there a
reason you were just so disrespectful to me here?

Speaker 11 (47:15):
And she.

Speaker 12 (47:20):
Never felt so dehumanized?

Speaker 1 (47:22):
Right, Okay, I'm gonna adventure a guest. She doesn't point
out the ages. Would they possibly have been like the
guys older, older, high school early college age. I'm gonna
assume probably right around there. Let me grab a quick
Christmas music related phone call, which I didn't think i'd
be saying today here in the middle of July, but

(47:43):
we'll do this, Richard, what's up?

Speaker 11 (47:47):
Not much, Keith. He just wanted you to know that's
your compatriot there. Mister Ross is in good company playing
Christmas music out of season. In late April nineteen seventy five,
when the fall of Saigon was happening, the American authorities
needed a way to alert all Americans that the evacuation

(48:07):
was getting ready to take place, so they had a
sign radio station play a white Christmas endlessly, and that
meant didn't.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
Get to the chopper.

Speaker 13 (48:16):
Huh that meant deep feet.

Speaker 10 (48:19):
Yeah, well here we go.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
All right, So look at that. So Ross might have
inadvertently signaled an evacuation of a hostile foreign nation and
he didn't even know it.

Speaker 11 (48:30):
Yeah yeah. Can you imagine all the all the politicos
and watching it, some of your shredding papers and running
grabbing their mistresses and all that.

Speaker 1 (48:37):
They do that every day, sir, That wouldn't be any difference,
That's true. Yeah, all right, Richard, thanks for the I
love little history facts there. Ross. Do you know that
you you probably signaled an evacuation. A bunch of people
showed up, no choppers. I hope you feel bad. They
thought they had to get out.

Speaker 4 (48:53):
I was trying to warn people. Man, they were in peril.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
Yeah, well that is your thing, the peril sensor. So
undefeated speaking of well, no defeated in this case, dude.
The lack of self awareness on the part of Hunter
Biden is. I love this for the Democrats here. Former
first son Hunter Biden faulted Democrats disloyalty to his father

(49:18):
for the electoral drubbing they suffered. So he gave it
a think, and Hunter Biden arrived at the conclusion that
the reason his dad lost is because Democrats were disloyal
to him. You don't think anything else was. Now, I
will say this, I don't think you alone were the reason.
I don't think you were the straw that broke the

(49:39):
camel's back. I think going back to that debate and
clearly what happened after it caused the Democrats to go
through this weird thing where they essentially flushed their primary
and then made the switchero and it didn't work, and
found two of the worst candidates possible between her and
General Jazz Hands. But you know, you don't feel little

(50:00):
bit you don't. You don't feel like maybe you might
have damaged the brown just a little hunter a smidge,
And whether it was you and your your laptop, or
you and your your poop paintings, or you and the
you know, the eventual pardon that attached that retroactively protected

(50:22):
you for like ten years. You don't think any of
that might have contributed to people, at the very least
maybe not voting for Republicans, but not showing up to
vote for Democrats. Because I feel like maybe that did
play a little part. But he's pretty sure it was
the other thing the ones around him, which which which
kind of tracks because that was Jill's take too. And dude,

(50:45):
do you remember when Joe Biden first came in and
like the biggest thing around her was the stupid view
comment like, oh, should make a great surgeon general. She's
a doctor, right, But but she was she was relatively unthreatening.
You're just like, oh, okay, you know she's do first
lady stuff or whatever, and she was. I think she
was teaching still in some capacity. But like now knowing

(51:09):
everything we know with like who was pushing buttons and
who was you know you started running that that cabinet
meeting that time, Like like I I would have just
been I would have been inclined just to kind of
ignore her presence there, but clearly and then remember they
were talking about how Hunter Biden was calling shots there
at the end too, just crazy stuff and I I

(51:32):
don't I don't use what a delusional family man, what
a delusional family.

Speaker 4 (51:37):
I still remember when they found that cocaine at the
White House and it was like a big robber stack
unsolved mystery, like who's cocaine? Where did this cocaine come from?
You see Hunter Biden on the balcony there like out
of his mind, high.

Speaker 1 (51:53):
But you know, grinds your teeth watching the Easter egg roller,
grinding his teeth, the lips along, slabbering like that guy
I was high. Who's cocaine? Could it be?

Speaker 4 (52:03):
We don't know, But then there was speculation later on
it could have been Jill, So who knows.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
I didn't see the Jill speculation.

Speaker 4 (52:11):
Because she was up there too, like rub her nose.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
So you know, the family just got his He got
his former sister in law and then love her can
addicted to crack, right, wasn't that? Wasn't that the thing?
I can't believe you would mention this when bo Biden
died in Iraq. I can't, that's right, yeah, yeah, yeah, no,
I'm I'm a horrible person. Yeah so all right, well

(52:37):
we're just doing all the blow together. I don't know. Yeah,
but like the whole thing, like we like we knew
Hunter was garbage just because you know, all that stuff
that was going on, and but like you can't you
can chalk that, you can chalk some of that up
to addiction. I'm not talking about the money stuff where
he's on boards and whatnot. That's pure criminality in my opinion,
but you know, just the hey, I gotta go to

(52:59):
Vegas and blow it out with all these hookers and
then argue on video over crack weight.

Speaker 4 (53:03):
No, I mean that's a good point. You could argue
that he would have never dropped off the laptop and
left it there if it wasn't for addiction, right.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
Yeah, yeah, that's insane, and that it was a nice
MacBook too. I think so like a lot of cheap laptop.
But I remember reading that he abandoned laptops. He abandoned
other laptops at other places. That's such the only one, Like,
that's a weird pattern. Man.

Speaker 4 (53:26):
Well some are saying they were speculating that was like
a call for help. Yeah, I mean like he was
tired of being used in this way and he went
to the addiction because of being used by his father
in the ways that you know, all of the money
laundering and stuff. So it was like, well, you know,
I want to get caught, so I'm subconsciously dropping off
these laptops because I wanted to stop.

Speaker 1 (53:45):
Yeah, he could have trimmed the files a little, like
there's some like you could have done with like a
third of the photos you know what I'm saying, and
you'd still got the message across.

Speaker 4 (53:54):
But I don't know, man, I don't know what if
he dropped it off and you missed one of the pictures.
You know, like, to be safe, you should probably have
like eighteen terabytes of your naked body on that laptop
just in case some one of them's missed.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
Yeah, should you film all the hookers? By the way,
I would assume hookers don't want to be filmed if
they're applying their trade in a legal manner. But uh,
most of them were not camera shy, judging by the UH,
as Ross pointed out terrorbytes and terabytes of information there.
Uh yeah, so what did he say? Hunter? Biden went
on to say, we lost the last election because we

(54:29):
did not remain loyal to the leader of the party.
Is there anyone who believes Joe Biden was the leader
of the party. I mean, grant, he is the highest
ranked elected Democrat. I understand that, But like, I don't
think he's war rooming the party. I don't think people
are like, all right, we gotta figure out our next
move is then all the DNC people come over. I
remember one of the underlings of the DNC complaining that

(54:51):
they couldn't get FaceTime with Joe Biden. I mean, we
know why obviously, but you know they were gatekeepers as well.
Let's see here. Yeah, so this came as part of
an interview with the former Democrat National Committee boss Jamie Harrison,
who's got a new podcast. So great, because what we

(55:12):
need is more podcasts from the ousted Democrats and various
reporters that have been fired. Everyone's got a podcast. Oh
and the former First Lady Michelle Obama, whose numbers have
let's just say diminished. So Thursday, yeah, Thursday did the interview.
Minnesota Governor Tim Wallas, former Harris's running mate, will be

(55:35):
among his debut guests coming up, so I'm sure that'll
be a very eye opening interview. Maybe you'll tell him
how to fix a carburetor or something, you know, since
he's the oh and probably going to drink a die
Mountain dew too. You guys missed that story last week.
Apparently the deciding line was not that Josh Shapiro was

(55:56):
Jewish and you thought that wouldn't play well with the
lunatics in your base. Instead, the decision, according to people
around Harris, was when they brought them all in for interviews.
They asked him what they would you like something to
drink while we're doing this, and Shapiro and the Senator
Kelly from Arizona both asked for a bottle of water,

(56:17):
but Tim Walls asked for a diet mount Do and
that's when they knew he was the guy, because they
wanted to reach Middle America, rule America and you know,
the everyman of America. And if you drink diet mound dew,
apparently that means you're just a regular dude, which I
did not know. So there you go. Speaking of soda.

(56:41):
I don't know what this was like, big breaking news yesterday,
and some of you are still not happy. Coca Cola
has agreed to use real cane sugar for their US products. Now,
if you go abroad, most of the Coca Cola you
buy has sugar cane. That's what they use.

Speaker 4 (56:57):
You know, in the US you go to if you
go to like one of.

Speaker 1 (56:58):
The Taco trucks and you get Mexican coke, you're gonna
get sugar cane in there. And that's how it is
for most places, but not in the US. It's the
High Fruitcoast corn syrup and arguably ross I'm not a nutritionist,
the sugar not that. Look, this is one of those
things where moderation is key. It doesn't matter whether it's
sugar or high fruit coast corn syrup or aspartain for

(57:21):
that matter. On the diet side, if you just shovel
that into your face all day, that's not good for you.
But arguably I have to think that cane sugar is
better than corn syrup.

Speaker 4 (57:31):
I think it's better. It's easier for your body to
process like this.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
Yeah, that's why. Yeah, i'd read that.

Speaker 4 (57:37):
So you're like, guts microbiome, right, it's like easier on it.
So I would choose the sugar over the corn syrup.

Speaker 14 (57:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
But then I saw people are like, well, doesn't make
it healthy. There's no way to make coca cola healthy
for you, you lunatic. Just have it and just have
a little bit, you know, don't drink nine or a
twelve pack a day of coca cola regardless of what's in.
It's probably not good for you. But no, people are

(58:04):
never happy. Now if now they put the cocaine back
in it, that would now that would rin Now again,
this is I'm not a nutritious that would raise your
metabolism because your heart rates up right because you did
all the blow. I think so, I don't know, but
we should try it. And with diminishing sales of Coca Cola,

(58:25):
that would probably turn it around and not be a
problem at all. Seven forty six. Uh, mister Stage might
be standing by there. How you doing, sir? What's your soda?
O choice?

Speaker 13 (58:37):
Pepsi?

Speaker 1 (58:38):
You're pepsi guy? Okay? In Atlanta? That's look at you?
I you conform it.

Speaker 13 (58:45):
So Ross could probably related around that cola back in
the day.

Speaker 1 (58:50):
Yep, what is that?

Speaker 14 (58:52):
That was?

Speaker 4 (58:52):
That's a brand they have up in New York, yep,
in the grocery store.

Speaker 1 (58:55):
Well, i'll listen to.

Speaker 13 (58:56):
You doing your Yeah, that was the That was kind
of the off brand, but it was it was very
very good actually, and it was the generic.

Speaker 15 (59:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (59:04):
I think it was more generic than it was.

Speaker 14 (59:06):
You know.

Speaker 13 (59:06):
It wasn't like a big time name, but it was
just up in New York state. And had my wife
she won't drink anything but coke product, so diet coke,
and we went to the diner and the lady was like,
she's like die coke and she's like pepsi to have water,
and I was like, oh, yeah, I'll have a pepsi.

Speaker 4 (59:22):
So yeah, I would think I would agree with Ray.
I think like up in New York, I think pepsi
is more popular than coke, right, I would say, I
know when it comes to like a sports thing, it's
like a Buffalo bills thing too. It's it's like a
good luck pepsi. It's called if you're losing, yeahs to
ryeah right colors.

Speaker 13 (59:36):
Yeah that's true too. Yeah, so yep. But then other
than that, not much.

Speaker 1 (59:41):
I'll never guess they sold it. Maybe they slid at Wegmans.

Speaker 13 (59:46):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (59:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 13 (59:48):
Maybe I don't even know if they make it anymore.

Speaker 4 (59:51):
But you wanted to add around at Cola and some
fry off for cookies.

Speaker 13 (59:54):
That's what guess cookies. That's Stewart's.

Speaker 12 (59:59):
See.

Speaker 1 (59:59):
Yeah, it's just whatever. I'm gonna go to the bath
three you guys.

Speaker 13 (01:00:02):
Doing all right, We'll do it anyway. Over the next
few days, wet weather will be scattered around the northwest
corner of the state, from Boon to Mulberry and up
towards Sparta. There's actually a flood watch and here we
may get some downpours and maybe better chances of rain
as we get into next week. Is believe it or not,

(01:00:22):
our invest area ninety three l going into Louisiana. Now
I actually loop around and come back into the southeast.
As at every little pressure, we don't think anything tropical
at this time. So we'll keep the shower thunderstorm chances in.
The heat and humidity upper eighties, low nineties heat in
next one hundred five the next few days, especially if
you don't get rain, it's obviously gonna feel hotter, and

(01:00:42):
rain chances will stay with us through the weekend. I
do want to continue to emphasize this. Yesterday Jersey thirteen
people as a last count struck by lightning and one killed.
And just a reminder, yeah, of course, yeah, yep on
the golf course. Yea, hear thunder you are close enough
to get struck by lightning.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
I'll leave you with that. Yeah, yeah, well that was there.
Say it was fast movie. By the way, speaking of golf,
we got a problem man. Clearly I'm assuming you're watching
the British Open this morning. Yes, clearly, Okay, there's only
one American in the top ten right now? Really, yeah,
this is Scottie Shuffler. I was gonna say a bunch
from Tide for fifth that Madge a little delay. So yeah,

(01:01:23):
and it's not good weather apparently on the very north
coast of Northern Ireland. Shock is it ever? It's not
any but it is one of my favorite tournaments of
the year because you can watch it like before the
show starts. All right, thank you sir, appreciate it. There
you go race agic from the Weather Channel. Uh who
is it? You picked it in the open? Uh? Ross?

Speaker 4 (01:01:44):
Uh, let me look Lee Trevino.

Speaker 1 (01:01:46):
Yeah, he's not in it, so he's really he's not
in the not in the run in here, so but
he's he's not over par So there's that because you
know he's at zero all right, seven forty nine, Hang on,
it's tipping Ross off to this. So John Sena and
Idris Elba are the stars and they're the President and
Prime Minister of UK respectively.

Speaker 4 (01:02:05):
Right, So John Cena is the president President Will Derreinger, Yes,
that'd be amazing if we had like an actual like
buff president, you know what I mean. Well, he used
to think, you know, senior citizen, you.

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
Don't think Biden was ripped under there.

Speaker 4 (01:02:17):
Nah no, but at least you can't do the thing
where you're like, oh, you know, this person is obviously
supposed to be you know, Kamala Harris or whatever, like
that's obviously I.

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
Didn't watch that other movie and it wasn't horrible, but yeah, yeah, yeah,
the plot's pretty similar to they're like at so I
think they're in Spain. They're in Spain for the Heads
of State one, and then they were in South Africa
for that movie where it was clearly Kamala Harris. Who's
who they were attempting to portray there? Now is it?

Speaker 4 (01:02:44):
Is it baby face Sina or he'll sena.

Speaker 1 (01:02:48):
It's unfunny Sina?

Speaker 4 (01:02:49):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (01:02:50):
Which one is that? Probably? And I don't look when
Sina made that weepy apology video in in Mandarin, like
that kind of turned me off on the dude. But
for the most part, if I see scene on the screen,
I don't think I'm gonna get, you know, a Daniel
day Lewis kind of performance, But it's probably gonna be
okay movie if you know, from a like a just

(01:03:11):
something to pass the time. But I don't know what's
going on here. I do like they have that Brianca
Chopra Chicken there though she's like the head of the
intelligence agencies, so she's easy on the eyes. So anyway,
but basically, some batties are doing bad things and it
all goes to crap and then all of a sudden
they have to go like superhero or not superhero but

(01:03:33):
super spy with the different sets of skills. What is
an Idris Elba's name is Sam Clark, I think something
like that. So AnyWho, yeah, I'm not I won't give
it away. He can watch it. I mean, it's not
the worst thing in the world, but could be better. Yeah.

(01:03:54):
So John, oh, by the way, asked Wood, So, what
was John Cena's job or his character's job before he
was president? Ross not. He wasn't so special like Idris
Elba is. His background is like British sas and then
he's now prime Minister. So how did John Cena get
his skill set?

Speaker 4 (01:04:10):
I would guess that he was like a former marine
or something action movie star. Okay, yeah, so he in
his action movie he's like Arnold. Yeah, yeah, exactly, He's
like Arnold.

Speaker 1 (01:04:22):
And then they he was so popular, like let's make
a president official totally not a spy, just a regular
normal NERD correspondent Stephen Kent joins us this morning. How
you doing, sir? What's up? We are back, We're on
us soil? Huh? I am yep.

Speaker 15 (01:04:39):
The job is done. I can't tell you what the
job was, but America is safe once again.

Speaker 1 (01:04:45):
Will we not be hearing from them ever? Again?

Speaker 15 (01:04:50):
I never heard from them at all?

Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
Okay. I like how he mixed a Godfather and almost
a Madman quote into one thing there, So that's it's weird.
That'd be the second reference this week. All right, ros
and I were just talking off the air, obviously you're
you're so. Yesterday we found out who was cast in
the Legend of Zelda live action movie that they're putting together,

(01:05:14):
and there it was interesting because I remember reading when
they were first starting to put this together of who
they thought might play Link, and it was machine Gun Kelly,
and I remember thinking, well, that's the dumbest thing I
ever heard. So it was not him who was selected
because I don't think Link has face tattoos, but whatever,

(01:05:36):
And one of the euphoria.

Speaker 15 (01:05:40):
Ticks was also machine gun Kelly is so tall, like
that would have been a really scary Link yeah, it
would have been pretty small.

Speaker 1 (01:05:48):
So instead they went with a much more demure Benjamin
Ainsworth for Link and then Zelda's Bo Braggerson. The Link thing,
are they gonna have to dye his hair or something?
This is what Ross and I were talking about, Like
the Zelda Casting's fine. I think they can get away
with that. I don't know. This dude just doesn't. He

(01:06:10):
doesn't scream Link for me.

Speaker 11 (01:06:12):
So yeah, you know, it's funny.

Speaker 15 (01:06:15):
I'm looking I'm looking at this picture of Evan Ainsworth this.
You know, these are both relatively unknown actors who are
going to be playing these roles.

Speaker 10 (01:06:22):
But you know, if you put up this this.

Speaker 15 (01:06:24):
Headshot of Evan Ainsworth and you just cover up his
dark brown hair, he kind of has this baby face
that would be good for a very young Link. But
one thing, that one thing that's worth remembering is that
Link and his story, at least in the Okarana of
Time famous video game, I mean absolutely beloved Legends of
Zelda Classic involves not time travel necessarily, but a huge

(01:06:49):
gap in Link's life in which he just jumps to
being an adult. And I could see this particular actor
playing the younger version of Link before he tried models
through time and becomes a grown version of himself. So
we actually don't have an answer to that question of
the time travel element in this story. I know we're

(01:07:09):
all pretty optimistic. I don't think we need to get
too hung up on him being a brunette. We can
dye his hair blonde, it will be okay.

Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
Yeah, no, no, no, I much prefer him over machine
Gun Kelly. So there's that. When is one of the
really this is not un till twenty twenty seven that
they believe this will be released, and this is Nintendo
doing it. They'll probably do it. They'll probably put a
bunch of money into this, Like they're not going to
go cheap on this thing.

Speaker 15 (01:07:36):
I mean, this is the story to pump a ton
of money into The stakes are honestly so high for this.
This is the most beloved Nintendo game at least of
my generation, for n sixty four, and we are in
this era where video games are now the most popular
ip to tap into for making adaptations. But again the

(01:07:59):
problem with make video game movies is that everybody's experience
of a video game is different. We all play video
games differently, we spend our time in these games in
unique ways, and so everybody has their own version of
this story. And this is the case of so many
different games. It's not the case when you do book adaptations,

(01:08:22):
but Legend of Zelda. I don't even know if this
is okeringa of time or a different installment in the franchise.

Speaker 1 (01:08:27):
They haven't done. That's your thing. I'm I'm an og guy,
like I know, I don't think.

Speaker 15 (01:08:32):
Right right, so, oh my gosh, yeah, I mean, because
this is this is another another fracture in fandom. I
have not played the new Zelda games. I'm just I
aged out of playing a lot of video games, you know,
career and all that stuff, and I just don't play anymore.
So for me, it was operating of time, and that's
that's it.

Speaker 14 (01:08:51):
For me.

Speaker 15 (01:08:52):
That's the Legend of Zelda. And I know there's all
these other beloved and popular games, but nothing I think
touches on the handheld game that you're just and then
offering up time.

Speaker 1 (01:09:03):
So I just remember it was it was so frustrating.

Speaker 11 (01:09:06):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
There were a couple of games out there, Ninja Guiding
and uh, and when you get to the end of
Legend of Zelda, man, it would just it would beat
your brains in trying to and and uh, you're you're
quite a bit younger and Ross and I, so you
you probably never fell into the gap, you know when
Ross and I wanted to figure out how to beat
stuff back in the day, if you got your friend

(01:09:29):
could tell you, or maybe you can't. You subscribed to
that Nintendo magazine they used to put out, and there
was a couple of mags, but other than that, man,
you were screwed. And I remember when you first got
access to the internet. Uh, and then figured out how
to bypass the filters at the school, which was super easy.
Do you remember the and they could.

Speaker 15 (01:09:49):
Game what do you remember the old do you remember
at EB games before it was game stop? The game
manuals like the game walk through books that you would buy.
These were as big as magazines and it would just
be the cover of the game and inside it would
have tips, tricks and also cheats. Any remarkable product. I

(01:10:11):
can't believe that was a thing that existed, but that internet, Ross, what.

Speaker 1 (01:10:15):
Was the thing for the Nintendo where it was a
piece that you you've put the game into and then
you plugged.

Speaker 10 (01:10:20):
It in with the game.

Speaker 4 (01:10:22):
You know, it was the Game Genie, the Game Genie.

Speaker 1 (01:10:25):
Did you have any Game Genie experience there, Steven.

Speaker 15 (01:10:28):
I do, but I can't. I can't remember it clearly enough,
but I do remember this.

Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
Yeah, yeah, that's the thing.

Speaker 4 (01:10:35):
You put the cartridge into the Game Genie, then you
put the whole thing into the console, and then you'd
have to put in a code that would be like,
you know, your guy can jump super high or infinite lives.
But kids today will never know the struggle that was
the final dungeon and legend of Zelda, because that thing
was ginormous and at the end of the game you
had Gannon, which was invisible half the time. And now
I'm hearing he's going to be trends in the new movie.

(01:10:56):
Is that true?

Speaker 16 (01:10:58):
Or at least I mean, maybe a drag queen, you know,
maybe a drag queen that could that could be possible
to stop that, although don't get Gannon is very drag
If you just take a look, it could work.

Speaker 1 (01:11:09):
Yeah, he's he's the he's the baddie in a Karina too, right, So.

Speaker 15 (01:11:13):
Like that's right, Yeah, Gannon is the big bad of
this and we don't know who's gonna play that. Uh,
that particular person, but maybe it will be Rue Paul.

Speaker 1 (01:11:24):
Or who's the black bald woman who's playing Jesus that
went on the weird tour with around a Grande.

Speaker 4 (01:11:29):
She'd be perfect. Yeah, lets get her why.

Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
I think she's busy being Jesus in a movie or something.
So that was still that to this day. That was
still the weirdest movie pump interviews I think I've ever seen.
For Wicked Walking, Yeah, it's just Grande and this woman
just crying the whole time. Gronde's basically an emotional support skeleton.

Speaker 15 (01:11:51):
The whole thing was weird, the whole thing, so much
crying and so much tears. And I think maybe the
only show that I've ever watched that understands ends the
cringe worthiness of the Hollywood media tours and everything that
goes into promoting a movie is The Studio on HBO
starring Seth Rogan. It's actually picked up a couple Emmy
nominations for this year, but Maam, that show is a

(01:12:13):
great inside baseball mockery of what goes on in Hollywood
for the making and promotion of these movies.

Speaker 1 (01:12:20):
In fact, Apple TV plus is I think they have
the most right of the big ones the most nominations
because Severance has like a gazillion nominations.

Speaker 15 (01:12:31):
Yes, Apple TV ran away, I mean, and if you
have a subscription to all these different streaming services, I
think that you will see Apple TV has the most
notably good and consistent quality of programming. There's almost so
little programming on Apple it can be frustrating at times,
but that's because they currently are just a very very

(01:12:54):
select menu of shows and movies and they are all
pretty darn good. I cannot be said for Netflix and
HBO now.

Speaker 11 (01:13:03):
No, I have.

Speaker 1 (01:13:04):
So the reason I have Apple TV is you kind
of get roped into it if you have Apple products,
because you bundle it, and so you're you get the
Apple TV, but then you also get the game thing,
and you get the storage, right, which is what a
lot of people. And then you look at what it
just caused to buy the storage for the cloud and
you're like, well, I might as well just get the thing,
and then you get the Apple Music and it's all

(01:13:26):
bundled there. So but to your point, yeah, it's very
very minimal. But when they do put stuff out, I
will say a lot of it is clearly not targeted
at me. There's a lot of real, like emotional, weepy
drama stuff on there. But every now and then when
every one of their shows, though, is very high quality
production value.

Speaker 15 (01:13:46):
Me, I love weepy dramas.

Speaker 1 (01:13:48):
Oh okay, well I should have known so. But but
but they have the same they have the same problem
that all the streaming does. And I saw people discussing
this yesterday because they announced the trailer for the new
Stranger Things drops today, I guess right, or maybe it
was yesterday.

Speaker 15 (01:14:04):
But yeah, the tea the teaser dropped for that.

Speaker 1 (01:14:07):
It's for season five, and that show is what twelve
years old? Yeah, I have So this was a show
that they're they're all divorced now right, they're on their
second marriage. What's going on?

Speaker 15 (01:14:20):
They are? They are all fully grown, they've had divorces,
they've had, you know, all sorts of experiences. And I
no longer care about this show. I love Stranger Things.
It was such a great ride while we were on it,
But there is such a thing as losing your momentum,
and I don't really feel compelled to finish the story.

(01:14:40):
I've forgotten everything.

Speaker 1 (01:14:41):
At this through season three, I haven't tied. I don't
even think I finished it, so yeah, like the local connection.
The guys are out of Greensboro, and when it first
came on it was really good vibes.

Speaker 15 (01:14:52):
Yeah, but yeah, Durham in particular, there's a lot of Durham,
North Carolina references. Stranger things.

Speaker 4 (01:14:58):
It's been like ten years. I hope the monster eats
them all.

Speaker 1 (01:15:01):
Oh no, come on, man, Ross is rooting for their deaths. Yeah,
this is. But this is the bigger problem. Like, you know,
it used to be back in my day when if
you had a running show, you had a new season
every year. It was that simple, right, yeah, yeah, a

(01:15:22):
season every year. And now it's like, and I is,
I don't know if like the trick is to get you,
because what happens when they're getting ready to release a
new season, when you go to whatever streaming platform it is,
they're pimping on that splot on the main landing page.
They're pimping you to rewatch the old stuff so that
you're up to date and ready to go. And so
I don't know if that's a trick to get you

(01:15:44):
to utilize their content again or what. But it's like
the gaps between these shows is crazy. And then you
don't even know if the show's coming back. You'd be
three years waiting.

Speaker 15 (01:15:56):
Yeah, And I think a good example of where this
was done well was, you know, the very popular and
Or series on Disney, which also ran away with fourteen
Emmy nominations this year, again kind of unprecedented for Star Wars.
Star Wars is not something that does well with the
Academy or with the critics, but their season two of

(01:16:16):
and Or was quite separated from season one by several years,
and so they put together a fifteen minute recap of
the entire first season, and it was like a short
film of watching everything up to that point. They're going
to have to do that, and I hope Netflix does
for Stranger Things, and that recap is going to have
to be significantly more than fifteen minutes. But it is

(01:16:39):
an effective tactic, and you put it on the main
page of the streaming service, you watch it, and you
kind of feel like you're up to speed.

Speaker 1 (01:16:46):
Okay, all right, we'll see I am curious. I know
this isn't right in the realm O video games and stuff.
Are you stupid? Do you know if you're stupid?

Speaker 15 (01:16:57):
I was once, but I'm not anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:16:59):
Okay, let me give you a test. Sorry, do you
think there's a more to know about the Epstein story?
There is more to know about Yeah, you're stupid? Yes, sorry, Yeah,
you were with me and several others at ninety three
yesday by the president. What the heck is going on?
What do you think is going on there?

Speaker 15 (01:17:18):
You know, I'm as miss I'm as mystified as a
lot of the kind of left of center mainstream media
is on this. At how the president has chosen this
issue to attack his supporters and attack MAGA and people
on truth Social This is a bizarre issue to go

(01:17:39):
after his own people on. I mean I thought that
he would attack his supporters over taros or something, you know,
like why can't you idiots get on board with this
economic concept? But this is the issue that animates so
much of his base, the idea that there is a
kind of global conspiracy, immoral conspiracy, the pedos or whatever

(01:18:01):
doesn't have to.

Speaker 1 (01:18:02):
Be a conspiracy. It's just dirt bagsgs, you know.

Speaker 15 (01:18:06):
Yeah, I mean, this is this is really suspicious. I
just find it so strange that the president is getting
this whipped up about this and.

Speaker 1 (01:18:14):
Over and over and over again. And I understand he's
frustrated because he does want to talk about what he
thinks for his wins. But that's what every president deals with,
and and and and Trump uniquely has been beaten down
and deprived any credit for any positive things he's done
by you know, the mainstream media that that it's not
even arguable that being said, like you, the more you

(01:18:36):
talk about, the more you're gonna irritate people. I I
do think it's funny the Democrats are leaning in. I
don't know if somebody is some strategist said oh, yeah,
well this issue and then we'll go vote for you.
They're not because you still want to say newter kids. Okay,
so yeah, right, so you're going to create apathy. You're
gonna You're gonna create apathy. Man.

Speaker 14 (01:18:54):
I was.

Speaker 15 (01:18:54):
I was asking my wife the other day, like, what
is the best analogy for why the apps issue is
actually working and bringing the mainstream media and Democrats to
the table. And it's it's, I don't know, it's kind
of like Superman and Kryptonite. It's it's a gem that
the thing from his own world. But it is his
greatest weakness.

Speaker 1 (01:19:13):
Up to this point.

Speaker 15 (01:19:14):
Nothing sticks to Donald Trump. He can bat off the
media all day. But they have chosen to latch onto
this issue because it is an effective wedge. It's the
thing that makes him powerful, and so they're hitting him
with it. It's the first smart thing Democrats have ever
done to confront Trump is to suggest that there might

(01:19:35):
be more to this story, which of course.

Speaker 1 (01:19:37):
There is, well, there is more to the story, but
in that suggestion, they're applying that, you know, he's protecting himself,
and that's just like, I don't believe. I don't believe
that for a moment because you all would have brought
this up a year ago.

Speaker 15 (01:19:52):
Yeah, when they when they had the FBI and dj
under their control.

Speaker 1 (01:19:55):
Yeah, I don't question that, which is what makes it
all the more weird because Washington I can usually look
at somebody go, oh, they're just protected, you know, qult
covering their own behind. But what this is, I don't know.
In the theories, that's where you get the conspiracies. He's
afraid of the deep state, they're gonna kill his kids,
or you know, all these all these weird things, or
there's so many people in power that it would upset

(01:20:16):
the entire economy is another theory. I don't know. I
just uh, I feel like this isn't going away, And
Rasmussen says to only twenty percent of people think it's settled,
so that's more than just yeah in some repubs. So right, Steve,
and I got her for fifteen seconds. Man, I appreciate
it this morning. But your mission went well, So you're

(01:20:37):
happy to coincide with the death of Putin's former transportation minister.

Speaker 15 (01:20:40):
But that's for an I know nothing about that, know
nothing about it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:43):
All right, we'll be right back. Hang on, I'm monitoring
this for you so you don't have to. You can
just listen to the radio. I'll give you any updates.
Phil Michelson and JJ Spahn and Scheffler and schoff Lee
and Sink and Novak and Thompson are all tied for eleventh.

Speaker 4 (01:21:02):
But yeah, you know, it's so nice and selfless of
you to be doing this kind of service for the audience.

Speaker 1 (01:21:07):
I am here for them.

Speaker 4 (01:21:09):
Yes, it's a big sacrifice, so we appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (01:21:12):
Also, when you call it the British Open, it makes
British people mad. So did you know that? Wait, just
arm you with this, will not you.

Speaker 4 (01:21:19):
Know what's it called?

Speaker 1 (01:21:21):
Because the British call it the Open. Oh shut up, yeah, yeah,
it's one of those. Now, to be fair, it is
the earliest of the majors, you know, longest running of
the majors. That being said, there's a US Open and
there's a British Open. This is not that, but they

(01:21:43):
just go the Open. Yeah no, but you've been champion.

Speaker 4 (01:21:45):
You don't get to call any of your things the
this that the fill in the blank after getting your
ass kicked in seventeen seventy six, like it doesn't.

Speaker 1 (01:21:52):
And twelve of it actually yeah right, yeah, you guys,
you double dooint. As a Bears fan would say, so sorry,
I was trash talking my buddy. He was a Bears fan.
Because the Vikings got to open the season. He's like, oh,
the Bear is going to be amazing this year. I'm like,
all right, buddy, now, I like the Vikings. With JJ McCarthy,

(01:22:12):
I don't know what we're gonna get. I hope he's good.
A lot of people are really really high on him
that are friends of mine that are in the sports
broadcast field still in Minneapolis. I've talked with them. They
think he's going to be good. So I hope he's
good because we got a bunch of weapons.

Speaker 4 (01:22:28):
Man, you know, it's funny. So you know every year,
how like the players come in and they take a
photo of them in front of a green screen, so
during the game they can you know, pop open and
pop up the picture of the player when they do
something and be like, hey, this is the guy and yeah,
the whole. So this is the first year they had
all the side by sides of Josh Allen's photos at
the beginning of the season, like the you know, it's
like the earbook photo for the yeah, the team. And

(01:22:50):
this is the first season where he isn't smiling ear
to ear. He looks like he's going to murder someone.
That's what you want, Yeah, that is what you want.

Speaker 15 (01:22:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:22:58):
Yeah, you're like, oh my god, if you're the defense,
you're like, that guy's gonna hurtle me.

Speaker 2 (01:23:02):
Ye.

Speaker 4 (01:23:02):
So the first season he's like ear to ear, smile,
looks super young, like, oh, I'm so happy to be here,
and this looks like I'm gonna kill you all yeah. Yeah,
he's got MVP face yep.

Speaker 1 (01:23:11):
So good for him. All right, Well we'll see how
that old pans out. Oh wait, Shuffler's back into the
Tide for six so that two under because it was
I get some because they were all one under. So yeah,
go America.

Speaker 11 (01:23:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:23:25):
I always love it when an American wins the British open.
It's pulled open. Yeah, now I'm gonna go with British. Plus,
it's in sea, it's in occupied the sea's land, so
you really want to go there. You're north because they're
in northern Ireland.

Speaker 4 (01:23:42):
Right now, right so uh oh okay, I thought you
were making like an immigration joke.

Speaker 1 (01:23:48):
No, no, no, well I kind of am from an
Irish perspective, but yeah, yeah, I know they're in northern
I told you, man. When I was in Ireland, the
old that old couple, I kind of got to know
because they were staying in the same hotel and the guy.
The guy was really nic They were Welsh. They wanted
to they want to point out from Wales their Welsh.
But he where he was wearing like long sleeve sweaters
and stay and it was kind of hot a couple

(01:24:09):
of days and I just asked, like, you'd get it up,
be dying in that thing, man, And he rolled up,
he pulls up his sleeve and he's got a bunch
of British regiment tattoos. He was in the British military
at the time. Things are still going on in Ireland,
so he covers his tattoos so like people remember, people
remember what's up. So I remember talking to them. They

(01:24:29):
had taken a trip the year before to the US.
What do you think the thing was they wouldn't shut
up about from a British or a Welsh perspective in
the US cause I asked hibout what what did you
what did you really like? And it's the weirdest thing,
And they talked about it every time the subject came up.
What do you think was the most impressive to these
British folks who took at that time it was their
first trip to America, roughly around two thousand and six.

(01:24:52):
I think they went what do you think the foreigners
thought was the most amazing thing about America?

Speaker 14 (01:24:58):
Rush?

Speaker 1 (01:24:59):
The food? The roads?

Speaker 4 (01:25:01):
Oh yeah, sure, Like the roads are so wide, which
is true if you're ever in the UK or Ireland
a lot of countries, but especially like Ireland, man, you'll
be driving on these roads and there's hedge rows directly
against like your your mirrors hitting it right, and not
only you're on the other side of the road, the

(01:25:21):
lines are opposite, so instead of the yellow line being
in the middle, the white lines of the middle and
the yellow line delineates the edge of the road on.

Speaker 1 (01:25:28):
The outer areas and parking areas. But if there's hedge
rows you're driving, then all of a sudden, a tour
bus full of like fifty people on one of those
Trafalgar tours or whatever is coming at you around a
blind corner and you have to like almost drive off
into the hedge to avoid them. And that's like the
main roads. Now I've noticed a little a little better

(01:25:50):
in the UK, but Ireland was crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:25:51):
I've noticed that before in top Gear, like the old
top Gear, which Jeremy, Yeah, the roads are like super tiny.

Speaker 1 (01:25:57):
Did you ever see and I don't know how I
miss this up? So did you ever see the top
Gear when they went to Columbia and they left, They're
gonna go what happened? They show up in one of
the guys they're out in this, they're out in the
country and this they are just filming like b roll
stuff and who's the guy went, Oh that's too bad anyway?

(01:26:18):
Which which host is that?

Speaker 4 (01:26:19):
That's Jeremy Clarkson.

Speaker 1 (01:26:20):
Okay, So Jeremy Clarkson is like he's sitting there and
he's the camera guy's filming or whatever, and he grabs
the camera guys like point your camera over there, and
they're on this They're on this like farm, this big
open area. I don't remember where they were in Columbia,
but and I don't remember what they were gonna do there.
And there's a dude behind a donkey and there's like

(01:26:41):
five of the other guys that work on the farm
standing there, and Clarkson's got an interpreter and he's like,
is that normal, Like, oh yeah, no, we all hook
up with that donkey. And then they go on to
explain that only female donkeys because male donkeys would be weird. What, Yeah,
you've never seen this clip? And then Clarkson's like he
tells his crew. He's like, we're leaving. And then a
bunch of the crews like, what are you talking about.

(01:27:02):
We're here to film this, you know. This whole thing
is like we're leaving, and they leave You've never seen
I had I've never seen that before, dude. I saw
that clip the other day. It's crap.

Speaker 4 (01:27:15):
I know, I'm gonna look that up right now. I
have to find that.

Speaker 1 (01:27:17):
Yeah, Jeremy Clarkson Colombia.

Speaker 4 (01:27:20):
I'm gonnay and I think you know the other words, Yeah,
Jeremy Clarkson, Jemmy Clark, I need to search.

Speaker 1 (01:27:26):
Yeah, be careful with what you're write about the donkey,
make it some other results. So yeah, but I think
you put Jeremy Clarkson Donkey Colombia, that probably get you there. Man.

Speaker 4 (01:27:36):
I'm a big fan of Jeremy Clarkson. I know he's
had his issues in the past, especially with like anger,
Like right, they lost this show, right, the original show,
because he like I think he flew off the handle.
It was after a day of taping. He crashed out
as the kids, Yeah he did, and like he asked
for something to be brought up for like lunch or
dinner and they've been filming all day and it was
the wrong thing. And I think it like punched an
intern or or a producer or something they make more So,

(01:28:00):
did you find it? And I haven't searched yet. I will. Oh,
by the way, if you haven't watched it, that Clarkson's
Farm is an amazing show. It's now intil like it's
a you know what, season four or something.

Speaker 1 (01:28:10):
Well, not that farm though, not the one that coret
completely different, correct, Yeah, yeah, just to be clear, he didn't.
He didn't like lean into it. Now he left and
did that come back.

Speaker 4 (01:28:20):
So like the first season is great, Like he has
to go buy like a like a tractor, right like
for his farm that he bought, and he's like it
was getting super easy and he doesn't understand how complicated
farming is, you know, and he's he's learned a lot
and he's come like a long way. He's amazing now good,
But like he goes out and he buys the most
expensive one he can find, and it's like this Lamborghini tractor,
it's so great.

Speaker 1 (01:28:40):
Well, I want to say it was a Ferrari Lamborghini
used to I think it was?

Speaker 12 (01:28:44):
Was it?

Speaker 1 (01:28:45):
No, it's a Lamborghini, that's what the Lamborghinni who made
tractors first. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think he made tractors.
And then didn't he go to the guy the Ferrari
ends YOUO Ferrari or whatever and he was like, hey man,
I got a great design, and he blew him off
and he's like, okay, well just make my own. That
seemed to work out. I believe that's how that story went.

(01:29:05):
Interesting stuff, all right, So well that's a fun segment.
Just now your Google searches are screwed. Man, I didn't
mean to do that to you. Stone Mountain, Georgia, this
is interesting. I remember during the height of the summer
of mostly peaceful protests, they were they're like, people wanted
to dynamite Stone Mountain, Georgia, which, if you don't know,

(01:29:26):
there is a giant facade. Of course, there's the laser
show and everything that goes on. That Ross went to
one time and didn't realize what he was shown up for,
but it you know, they have a an etching of
relief how everyone had carved in there of Jefferson Davis,
Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and they were talking about

(01:29:47):
dynamiting it. So actually, I guess they're not going to
do it, but the people who run that and oh
and I did not realize it's the Did you know
it's the biggest attraction within Georgia's attractions of their individual
monuments or state parks or anything. Did you know that
Stone Mountain was number one? I had no idea. I've
never been, but I guess maybe proximity to Atlanta makes

(01:30:10):
it easy. I don't know, I've been. It was a
good time, Yeah, but you didn't realize what it was
until you were No.

Speaker 4 (01:30:14):
No, I was just going around like one of my
first dates with Market and went with her family and
her you know, Mark, her her stepdad. Yeah, and I
mean now my father in law, and you know, I
was like, Oh, We're just going to go to this
place called Stone Mountain and wearing my Yankees cap and
everybody's like staring at me, like what. We sit down
and I watch them like, oh, I should probably take
my hat off. But it's a really cool laser show man.

Speaker 1 (01:30:34):
It was neat. Yeah. Well they wanted to dieda mine.
Now they're not going to. But there is a lawsuit now.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans are suing, claiming that the
association will be decision to relocate the Confederate flags and
build a museum of truth is not in sticking with

(01:30:54):
what the actual because there is a mandate within Georgia
law that basically the outlines, you know, how how this
is to be maintained. So rather than changing the law,
they're just going to do whatever they want. I will
say this, I have. I got to think that a
lot of people will show it for the laser show.
Ain't gonna step foot in your Museum of truth, right, So,

(01:31:16):
but the whole thing is just weird. Man is race
Stagic there from the Weather Channel. I don't want to
drag him into this per se. But one I didn't
realize this was your guys' biggest tourist attraction. That actually
didn't either believe it or not. Yeah, but it's not
even close. But I got to think people are just
going to show it for the laser show and not
do the other stuff. So I don't know what about

(01:31:37):
the lawsuits are going to do, but we'll see.

Speaker 13 (01:31:40):
Yeah, climb the mountain. It's kind of a neat looking hill,
but good exercise.

Speaker 1 (01:31:45):
What does it cost?

Speaker 15 (01:31:46):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (01:31:47):
I don't remember it's been you.

Speaker 13 (01:31:48):
Know, when you first moved to a new town. Everybody
comes to visit and you go like, yeah, able to attractions,
the first, the first ever moved to.

Speaker 1 (01:31:55):
Minneapolis, because say what they want to do whenever they
show up.

Speaker 13 (01:31:58):
Go to the mall. The yep, go to the mall.
But yeah, I've done it all. It's been twenty plus
years I'm good. Anybody comes to town now, they're like,
we want to I said, you're on your own. Here's
over there. Yeah, you can go to Kennesaw Moullain, which
I could almost walk to. I said, you can go
to World of Coke. You can go go ahead.

Speaker 1 (01:32:15):
I'm good.

Speaker 13 (01:32:16):
Don't need to see it again. So it was cool
though it was.

Speaker 1 (01:32:19):
So I want to go to the Chattahoocheeah. Yeah, named
Alan told me about it. Sounds fun. So anyway, what's
up weather wise? Yeah, gotta be better than what's going
on over at the British Open right now.

Speaker 13 (01:32:29):
So I guess maybe later it won't be as nice.
Storms will try to go again, probably after two or
three o'clock with peak heating another hot one ninety to
ninety five. He didn't decease one hundred to one oh five.
Depending on where you are, shower thunderstorm chances tomorrow afternoon
may actually be a couple degrees hotter. So we're still
talking about ninety to ninety five. The heating deck's still

(01:32:50):
one hundred to one oh five. I mean, probably might
be ninety six instead of ninety five. Try it, it
might be ninety two instead of ninety You get the picture.
It's going to stay hot and humid even into the weekend.
It's low to mid nineties chances of showers of thunderstorms,
and I think the chances continue into next week. We'll
have to keep an eye on the circulation which is
ninety three l producing heavy rain right now in Louisiana.

(01:33:10):
May try to circle around to keep the wet weather
and increase the wet weather chances in the southeast as
we get into next week.

Ross has now been scarred for life. He was able
to locate the clip. Is it, as I said, by
the way it.

Speaker 15 (01:35:37):
Is, it is.

Speaker 4 (01:35:38):
It is something, And I loaded some of the audio
in the next get not all of it because some
of it is inappropriate for Yeah, that's my kind of
soft explain right right, right conversation because it goes into
greater detail. Yes, it does like that.

Speaker 1 (01:35:52):
This is a regular thing amongst the staff, and as
long as it's female, donkey, it's not weird. I guess
I don't know. So here is what we can air something.

Speaker 14 (01:36:05):
We're rather disturbing. What could you ask, was that young
man having relations with that don't key?

Speaker 1 (01:36:19):
They say, yes, that's right.

Speaker 14 (01:36:20):
We're believing, and leave believing.

Speaker 1 (01:36:24):
Yeah, we're out, which I think is the right decision.
I got a ross fiver show up to a station
event to remote anything, and within my view is that
I'm not at the event anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:36:39):
Right, I think you should leave? Yes, yeah, I don't want.
I don't want to be around for that. But it
takes you out of the mood, like, Hey, I'm here
to drive the new Porsche or Ferrari whatever the thing is,
and you're like, there's that dude over there. I'm like,
how can I can't? What's going on?

Speaker 12 (01:36:52):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:36:52):
Come on? Yeah? Yeah, we're not gonna be uh, we're
not gonna be a party to this, so uh yeah.
