Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thursday.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
It is the day before everything sucks again weatherwise, so
make the most of it. Dottle in your commute, stop
for some bow Jangles or whatever, because tomorrow is gonna
be a little white and uckily around certain places, just
in time for Friday.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Or take tomorrow off. That's what I should do.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
By the way, By the way, I have some news
for you. You're not gonna like it, or if you hate,
listen to the show you're gonna love it. There is
no show on Monday. I know it's it's all there's
it's I just had to take a day off. Don't worry,

(00:42):
nothing crazy, but it's just the way time to I
tried to avoid it because I know it is that
time of the year, but it was the only day
I could get in for this day. So no show tomorrow,
or excuse me, no show Monday, show tomorrow depending you
know our I'm a blizzard gedting or whatever. I don't
think it's gonna be quite that bad race stage. It

(01:04):
coil to deliver the bad news. That's what he gets
paid for. But on Monday, no oh show. Oh okay,
all right, very good. The announcement's been made. But that's
nothing because December nineteenth, that'll be the last show of
the year because you know how we roll. And for
those of you go, why do they why do they

(01:24):
do it all there? Because what you have to understand
is in the world of radio. I'm always upfront with
you guys. In the world of radio, you know, we
get ratings, except when you get to that part of
the year, it don't count as much. So it's it's strategicy,
as as w would say. So yeah, but we've done

(01:49):
this every year for you know, the well over a
decade we've been here. And then on January fifth, I'll
return Ross return. I understand he's gonna bring the baby
in teach it to run the board. So that's right,
that's why you have. Look, I grew up on a rast.
That's why you have kids. Free labor. I'm sure many
of you, many of you were free labor for your parents,

(02:10):
and maybe you're returning the favor now. So now I
don't think he's gonna bring the baby in, but that
will be the January fifth will be the new year,
new show and off and running with all the insanity. Okay,
all right, very good Phone number eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four. So I was looking

(02:34):
at this, I got I got lots of thoughts. I
don't vape. I just want to point this out. I
don't vape. If you want a vape, do your vaping
vape away. I'm not your doctor, I'm not your mom,
I'm not your dad. That being said, there are certain

(02:55):
circumstances where vaping is what do they say, fact clouts
can be a little obnoxious in a confined space, although
it doesn't it's like cigarette smoke where it just attaches
to you, which again I don't even have. Even though I
don't smoke, I don't have a problem with it. If

(03:15):
you want to, you go ahead and do your thing.
I'll make a decision if I want to be in
proximity of you. You know, used to be used to
be you had to have for you kids out there.
You used to have it have a like a quarantine
area if you went out to the bars, because if
you didn't he forgot, then he threw your clothes off.
Like I said, even if you didn't smoke, and then
the next morning in your whole room smells like cigarettes.

(03:38):
So I had like a hamper inside of closet. So
if i'd go out, me and the boys, the lady whatever,
come back from the bar, ride in the hamper, shut
the closet door, or deal with it in the morning,
or you can just throw it in the washing machine.
So I do follow with interest these various ordinances because

(03:59):
I want to go back to smoking. And then we'll
get onto the vaping, because here's the headline. Should vaping
be part of Raleigh's no smoking ordinance? And this is
this is the government creep and all of this stuff. Okay,
so back in the day, do you remember what the
first some of you will do? You remember what the
first smoking lobbyist effort, activist effort was planes, right, and

(04:28):
like everything else, like oh, we just we can't. You're
in a tin can. There's nothing you can do. And
and look, admittedly, having a smoking section and a non
smoking section on a plane is kind of funny to me,
cause you are you are in a tube. You are
in there's no division other than you know, a few
feet over here, a few feet over there. But they said, well, okay,

(04:49):
well that's all we're gonna do. We just don't want
people smoking there. And then and then they're like, okay, well,
uh not in not in restaurants, not in rest because yeah,
restaurants are restaurants. People are there to eat. They got
kids there, but you know, that'll be it. And then
I remember the very day that we launched this station

(05:13):
was January seventh, but what had happened. What happened was
on January first of that year was the smoking band
in bars in North Carolina. And I thought it was crazy.
I was moving the tobacco state. They just out louted smoking. Again,
I don't smoke, but I understood people's frustration if I

(05:33):
want to go over to a bar where it's adults
and some adults want to do an adult thing there,
and and then but they're like, no, it's for the
it's for the staff, you know, with the the you know,
the the Morgue's full of dead waitresses, right, And they
made this and and then they they creeped that some more.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
And then on a plane.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
I think it's very and I think it's very funny
because on the plane they're like, no to bacco products. Well,
now I'm interested because and I mentioned on this show,
I enjoyed me at Copenhagen from time to time. There's
no reason on a plane I shouldn't be able to
do that because it's not impacting anyone, unless I guess

(06:16):
I'm spitting on them, which I would never do because
they end up on a video and it goes viral
and it's a whole thing. So it's now we're into
the nanny state side of this. So should vaping not
be allowed? I don't know other than people just wanting

(06:37):
to ruin other people's fun.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
I'm just over this stuff.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
I'm just over Do I think that the vapes that
smell like, you know, raspberry bubblegum do?

Speaker 1 (06:51):
I I don't understand. I don't understand that, right, Think.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
About what that Think about back in the day, if
we had these flavored vapes, what that would have meant for,
you know, flor slash Native American relations? Right, the old
peace pipe thing, right, you show up here, you are Columbus.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Here we go. You show up.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
You don't want to fight, you want to do some
training so you can figure out how later you can
you know, basically basically get all the golden stuff. So
you go and then there's that class we spoke the
peace pipe will be friends. But you screwed up because
you know it's fourteen hundreds. You don't understand viruses, and
you brought some blankets which you didn't mean to do
anything with. But you know, hundreds of years later, some

(07:36):
woke professor is going to explain that Columbus had like, oh,
he probably had a big Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria,
and the wuhan gain of function.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Uh. The force ship you never hear about.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Just filled with pox blankets, just churning them out like
doctor Fauci ordered it for the purpose of leveling the
Native American community. So you go to do the right
and you sit down to the peace pipe. What do
you think that chief's gonna think if all of a
sudden you start packing that with with with strawberry bubblegum

(08:09):
or vice versa. You don't trust those people. I'm off
on a tangent here. My point is, if somebody wants
to vape, who the hell is the city of Raleigh
to tell them they can't do it?

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Now, if you're a business owner you don't want people
to vape in your business, then fine. But when we
get into the city, who is putting something together? And
it's not just the city of Raleigh. Most of the
cities have some sort of ordinance, you know around smoking
're now having to adapt to the vaping side of it.
It's just it's just people who have to be up

(08:47):
in your business, who want to be in charge and
want to micro manage you.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
And I'm not.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
I will protect your right to ingest blueberry bubblegum vape
if you want, because you're not harming anybody.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
You're making people think you're weird.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
If you're a great you know, you're grown some dude
who looks like Jeremiah Johnson, Poppa one of those out
But I know the women like the sweet flavors there.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
That's fine.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
I know there's a very sexist monologue this morning, but
this is what you get. Also, you found out about
the gain of function of ship, which you didn't know
about cause you know, obviously clearly Columbus and other explorers
had a vast understanding of viruses and various other things.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
I mean, these are great.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Remember, these are the guys who signed up to go
to the here be dragons part of the map. Who's
signing up for that there's dragons over there, it says,
so right here on this map, and they went anyway,
and now they're ancestors can't just spearmit, but bubblegum. I

(10:01):
keep changing the flavor. I don't know all the flavors,
but I see the stores. They're huge, so I'm assuming
there's a gazillion of them. Raleigh's considering prohibiting vaping in
public places right now. The city regulates smoking and elevators
in most public places. Now, some city leaders want to
take it a step further. As a mother, I want

(10:21):
my child to grow up in Raleigh where he can
breathe freely without secondhand smoke or vape. Okay, well, what
about the Petulia I got a spell? Or the bo
on the streets of Carborough. Who's thinking to me?

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Right now?

Speaker 2 (10:38):
The city ordinance does not include vaping, electronic cigarettes, or
certain enclosed spaces. See, the problem is all of your
arguments were based on these vast health concerns that got
over inflated and exaggerated and exaggerated and exaggerated to the
point where somebody who's smoking a cigarette across the street
from you is now your mortal enemy. It's absurd, It's

(10:59):
it's the it's the creep of a bunch of would
be hoa presidents who rows above their station and are
now an elected official in these big liberal cities leave
people alone. Excuse me, Oh no, I'm choking up vape smoke,
even though there's not in here. As new technology develops,

(11:21):
we've been slow to react, said Emma Burns with the
American Heart Association. This is the other thing. Oh is
he going to say something against the AHA? Yes he is, because,
as I pointed out, these these these groups which may
have started and operate for the most part with good intentions.
I'll give you an example, mothers against drunk driving who

(11:41):
are like, hey, maybe maybe we should work against some
guy getting off work hard day, slams back a twenty
four pack and piles into the bus full of nuns
with kids. Not the nuns kids, because they're nuns, but
they're teachers in the scenario. Right, Okay, we agree, we
don't want that. But then every time they would get

(12:03):
a legislative victory, be like, all right, what else can
we do?

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Because if you.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Get what you want, then you got to go do
something else. But now you got a pretty cush gig,
you got money rolling in, you got legislators in your pocket.
You got to keep this ball rolling. That's how you
all right, now, we're going to tell every state what
the minimum alcohol content could be.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Oh, then we'll get that. Okay, now let's go for lower.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
I haven't got that yet, but you got your point
oh eight, And now I got to walk around as
a big dude expected that I get intoxicated and impaired
at the same level as one hundred pound little cheerleader
chick who only eats carbs on the blood boons.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
It ain't right.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
So I'm sorry, American Heart Association, bring the receipts, but
this just sounds nanny status to me. Burne said that
smoking in public areas not only exposedes others to secondhand aerosol,
but also influences young people. Oh okay, so we're out
of the medical side and we're into the influencer side.

(13:09):
I don't know if you know this. When I was
growing up, and I'm sure for miss most of you
and the older you are probably even more so. The
amount of horrible stuff you saw adults do that I
don't do, he said, I don't smoke. I grew up.
I grew up in the Joe Campbell days. I was
told that that camel was going to corrupt me and

(13:29):
I would be unable to. I don't smoke, never have.
I made a conscious decision, and I had family members
around me who smoked, So just stop it. I'm sorry, Yes,
I'm right. I'm out here and I'm having a tangent
over something that's probably gonna pass anyway, because again, nanny's

(13:52):
staking and nanny, but it's just obnoxious. Council members seem
to agree it's time to update the ordinance, but we'll
have to decide what to do. In both cases, they
have two proposals. Both cases, vaping would be prohibited in
indoor and outdoor public spaces. I can't stand in the

(14:13):
middle of a park and vape. By the way, our
last mayor of Raleigh posted a picture of herself with
a friggin weed pen. Who the hell are you? Six
twenty one? Hang on, oh why why do you care?

Speaker 1 (14:32):
What do you care? If you don't even vape out
that you know why?

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Because there's there is a there is a an elected
class in this country, in this city, in this state,
in this county, in this room. Maybe I don't know
who are not happy unless they're ruining somebody's day. Because
let me let me let you in on a little
secret here by the way, Jamal, hang on, I only
have a minute in this segment. I know you probably
want to do more in a minute, so we'll we'll

(14:54):
take your call right after the bottom of the hour.
A properly nicotine society is a polite society. Okay, Jamal,
going to grab your call momentarily.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
I remember.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
Okay, So the subject line got me. It says smoking
in a tank. I remember when they banned smoking in
government buildings and vehicles.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
My marine recruiter was p oed.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
I remember him talking about how he couldn't smoke in
his tank anymore.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah, what do you messing with?

Speaker 2 (15:25):
The guy in the tank? Can you imagine these busy
bodies on the.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Eve of D Day?

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Right, you're out there, you're getting ready to pop everybody
out of the landing craft. Oh, by the way, when
you get off the landing craft, there's gonna be a
bunch of Germans and elevated positions with MiG forty two's
also known as Hitler's buzz saw fifteen hundred rounds per minute.
If you ever go to Normandy, they'll show you all of.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
It, but don't smoke.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
We wouldn't want any of once you guys getting exposed
to secondhand cancer before you go get cut down on
the beach. Wouldn't want that. Oh, this is the whole
visual of all of that.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Man a Jamal, what's going on? Man?

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Another nickname was Hitler Shane. They got it called the
bus offers learning that thing to be empty. About a
thousand rounds in western almost what two minutes.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
But fifteen rounds permitted. It was even worse.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yes, Casey, I'm gonna remind you of something that she
gonna be like. I remember this when I was in
high school class in ninety four KC. Joe Cammell.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah, I mentioned Joe caml Yeah, Joe Cambll and the
Marlborough man. Hell, they made a movie out of the one.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Yeah, but here's what they did. I remember when they
told us you couldn't wear a Joe Campbell T shirt.
I mean, well he didn't have a cigarette in his mouth.
You couldn't even wear the Joe Campbell's cigarette, I mean
a Joe Campbell T shirt to school because they started
doing all that craziness. And when I was in high school, Casey,
I worked in the small conception of can W. I

(17:01):
was working at can W while I was in high school.
You saw km W kry Town Mall before Hurricane Floyd visited.
But when we and I worked it every Sunday, I
was by myself. I would have to work the whole
smoking section. And you know what, the people in the
smoking section was a lot nicer and a lot more
calm because we had somemcization, you know, everything like that

(17:24):
every day. But I said so, I used to work
it by myself, but you used to sit there and
these people whoever the smokers, was a lot more calm,
a lot more quieter, and tip better than the people
who want in a non smoking station. Every time they
tell you, well, we just want to do this because
we're looking out for this, We just want to do
this because we're trying to help, they end up taking

(17:47):
going too far like they always do. Because at one time,
you know, you had to do a brupalyzer, you had
to do the test to see whether or not you
were drunk. Well now they said, like you said, a
big guy like yourself, and to a one hundred and
ten pounds woman, oh it's the same. Well, no, y'all
have two different levels to what you can handle. And

(18:08):
they just keep going, They keep going and they just
going to keep going until someone so you you know
what it is.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
It's the same thing we talk about with like nuble ACP.
If they if they run out of racism, they're all
out of a job.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
So you know what when it comes when it comes
to the NAACP, it's a personal hatred with them because
I never forget what they did to my mama. They
ran my mom out of there because my mama didn't
go and get married. When each want an n double
ACP started jumping behind it, William Barb and his crew
started jumping behind it and had a lot of old
black saints.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Well, Jamal, I just want to be fair.

Speaker 4 (18:46):
There is a lot.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
There's a lot of room behind William Barber.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
So oh god, yeah, like a kink size of the room.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Yeah, man, you get you never it'd be like living
in the Arctic north with six months a winter. All right,
all right, I gotta go, I gotta go. Thanks for
the call there, Jamal. Yeah, that's all I'm saying. And
again here's the other thing. And I will say this, ready,

(19:15):
go the walk around him. I know this is this
is crazy talk. This is crazy talk. I was I
was downtown rally the other day, and there's a dude
who looks like Rip van Winkle wearing dirty pajamas, panhandling.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
You know what, I didn't do walk right by him
because he was.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Also like lungeon like weirdly at people, and I couldn't
tell if he was trying to talk to him or what.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
But I wasn't gonna go over there and find out.

Speaker 5 (19:41):
Not me.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
So if you see somebody vaping over in the park,
don't go over where they are. You give him six
feet of room. You'll be fine. You'll be fine, and
you're if they come up to you and they're right
up in your face and then and you could you
please hunt it? That's a perfectly reasonable request. The most
reasonable people be like, oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. No,

(20:04):
we don't need government up in here handling this stuff.
When you've fallen outside these parameters that you claimed you
were fighting for. No, no, no, no, no, All right,
six forty here on the k COTA radio program. Oh man,
all right, let me, uh well, I'm going to kind
of pivot to this topic anyway, So let me grab
this call Terry.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
What's up?

Speaker 6 (20:24):
Yeah, hey, Caseye, I just heard you talking about racism
on the song. Yeah I missed yesterday, but the young
lady said that you talked about it. Uh, when are
you going to talk about the racist clap trap coming
out of the Oval office? That was an embarrassment both days, which.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
One, oh the Trump the Trump's talking about And yes,
no he I don't know that it's a racist technically,
would race would be the term, because you're talking about
an individualized group of people, But you could say it's offensive.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Just yeah, it was right, it was pretty well, it's
pretty it's broad blatant.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
But let me let me say this as somebody who
spent nearly a decade broadcasting in the Twin Cities up
in Minneapolis, there are huge problems with the Somali community.
And it's not just the stuff you're seeing with the
graft and all of that. It's you know, one of
the things that was going on there is they were
literally taking young Somali men, men who had never been

(21:25):
to Somalia right their parents had immigrated, and they were
recruiting them, shipping them back to Somalia at a fight
for a terrorist organization.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
They were being killed.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
And the FBI knew about this and the amount of
fraud that was going on with immigration up there. This
is these are things that we've known for decades and
only now are rising to national prominence. So I don't
feel that him being highly critical of the Somali community
as it exists in Minnesota, because there are all of
these problems is unwarranted.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
But I understand why people may not like the way
that he went about it.

Speaker 6 (22:02):
Okay, I understand where you're coming from. But again, it's
once again that case of he paints a wide brush
and uses this wide brush to categorize an entire community
based upon the actions of the few. Now look the
graph the corruption.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
I'm going to tell you, it's more than a few, sir,
it really is. And I want you to understand.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
My concern with that story is that you got a
sixteen You have sixteen year old kids who've never known
anything but the US. Okay, they've never known the poverty
and the health the healthscape that their parents fled from,
and they were essentially being abducted by mosque leaders, Okay,
and I my heart breaks for those kids.

Speaker 6 (22:42):
Yeah, and that's horrible. I agree with you, But I
just think that you know, just the way he talked
some of the things he said, I've just stopped come.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
On, okay, no, no, no, no, like like I said, sir,
I completely understand how people may arrive at that conclusion.
But the biggest on the FBI had with stopping the
kids getting abducted is the entirety of the community's leadership
stonewall the FBI. It went on for years. It's it
and who knows, maybe all of this, the shining the

(23:13):
light and the purging of some of these guys. I've
got a story about a guy they arrested up there
the other day. It's disgusting, and I'm going to get
to it here in a moment. But maybe it forces
the community to get rid of the neer do wells
so that perhaps public relations can improve.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
So maybe that's the way.

Speaker 6 (23:29):
Yeah, I just wish he'd talk about it the way
you talk about it. He just pews this stuff out,
which is just totally offensive in a lot of ways.
You're talking about a legitimate problem in a reasonable manner.
I mean, he's just spreading stuff about You know what
about the law abiding citizens who are now citizens of

(23:54):
the Somali community. How do you think they feel when
they hear that stuff coming from the present.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
I look, I get what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Man, I just I but I'm not surprised because that's
Trump's Trump is bull in a China shop. That's how
it rolls. And so we'll see you, We'll see what happened. Hey, Terry,
I appreciate the call this morning.

Speaker 6 (24:16):
Okay, I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Thank you all all right, there you go.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yeah, but but I I don't want to undersell that
with it. I'm telling you watching that for watching the
entirety of leadership within the Somali community rally around to
protect terrorist recruiters, child molesters, and uh people who are

(24:40):
committing large scale immigration fraud is a self inflicted wound
at some point, and that is where the community of
law abiding Somali's citizens up in Minnesota need to rally
and say no more, We're not going to have the
Omars of the world.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
We're not going to have.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
I forget the one Moss leader's name. I think he's
dead now. I don't think anyone killed him, but I
think he died shortly after this. That guy was one
of the scummiest humans I have ever encountered, covering up
what was essentially child abduction so that they could go
be cannon fodder in Mogadishu.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
It's it's very, very, very disturbing.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
All right, one more call this segment and then I'll
get to that other story the next Randy, what's up?

Speaker 7 (25:30):
Yes, sir, I got a question about the D Day invasion.
So I'd like to know whose idea it was to
storm the beaches like that, and why they didn't bomb
the Germans into the next universe before they stormed the beaches,
because that seems to me to be in a complete

(25:52):
and utter waste of human life. Now I get the
guys who did it.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, No, I'll say this.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
I think the one thing that people are going to
say back to you first is Lufwaffe Germany. Germany owned
the skies, and so I think that there was there
was a concern that if you tend to send bombers
over that essentially they're going to get obliterated by the
German air superiority. I'm not sure that that's one hundred
percent it, but I seem to remember that being a

(26:19):
big part of it.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
Really.

Speaker 7 (26:21):
Yeah, okay, but yeah, that just seems like every time
I see like Private Ryan or anything about this particular Yeah, invasion.
I keep asking myself, you know, really, was that a
good idea?

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Well imagine I have they to let them vape before then, sir, well,
well you have a nice day there, Yeah you too.

Speaker 8 (26:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Can you imagine.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Storm and Hitler's buzz saw German bunkers and they smell like,
you know, spearmint, bubblegum vape.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Good Lord, not in my world? Six forty seven. Hang on,
where do I even start?

Speaker 2 (26:55):
A twenty three year old man from Everett, Washington, was
arrested yesterday morning for legedly threatening to murder a Massachusetts miner,
not like a coal miner, but like a kid. What
I just want to clarify so there's no confusion on
five occasions. And here's the wood chippery part of it.

(27:19):
I mean, yeah, threatening to kill the kids you get
you there anyway, But this is how you seal the deal.
Also for distributing child pornography involving animals being crushed to death.
How does one determine they're into that? So you have

(27:43):
the children, the underage participants, and you're crushing kittens.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
You see what I mean?

Speaker 2 (27:57):
They're not enough wood chippers. According to the indictment, Joseph
Putcheko had communication with a minor victim, and the contents
of his social media accounts expouse goals shared by nihilistic
violent extremists. Oh enves you should read about those who
engage in criminal conduct to further the goal of bringing

(28:19):
about societies collapse by sewing chaos and social instability and
crushing kittens with naked kids around.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Why are you filming right to that? You know what,
We should let the kittens kill them.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
I bet if we got enough kittens and dipped him
and enough whatever the kittens want to eat, and tethered
him properly. Can you imagine how long it would take,
how many kittens you'd need. But you don't want to
You don't have too many kittens. You don't want it
to be too fast. And who says I don't like cats?

(28:56):
I am anti crushing kittens on your stupid heard creepy
nihilistic fetish videos taking a stand, So that's number one.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
I don't know. Wood chippers, man, I'm gonna invest in
wood chippers. That's where we're headed.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
This story right here, going back to going back to
our caller was talking about things within the Somali community
up there. I'm telling you, and I remembered another story.

Speaker 8 (29:31):
Sir.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
One of the kids who was recruited.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
To go over to Somalia place he had never been,
got there and went, Holy hell, I messed up and
actually contacted I think his mother or his aunt and
was like, I need to come home.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
And then he got disappeared.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
And the theory is that his handlers realized that this
was that this is getting some notoriety there because I
think the mom or the aunt said something to a
reporter and their whole little scheme was going to unravel,
so they they just assumed that they that literally the
people he his team killed them.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
As horrible as that sounds, his team killed him. Then
there's this story.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
H man in Minnesota abducted and raped a twelve year
old girl.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
From Somalia. Saint Paul Islamic's Islamic Center wrote a letter.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
After this happens, this guy is arrested, he is accused
of abducting and raping a twelve year old girl, and
the Saint Paul Islamic Center, who is one of these
these moss and organizations that I talked about that stonewalled,
wrote a letter of support to the court for the man,
arguing that he had simply quote not assimilated in the

(31:10):
non Somali culture. Their words not mine, which of course
means that you feel that Somali culture allows you to
abduct and rape a twelve year old.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Absolute insanity.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
We the undersigned members of the Somali community, write this
letter to express our support and are strong and heartfelt
support for.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Qualiney de dir E.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
That's pronounced diarrhea, right, always making fun of the guy's name, Yeah, yeah,
Ques of raping and abducting a twelve year old. Yes,
I'm gonna call him Quinali Diarrhea, don't care. Many of
us first met mister Diarrhea through our shared journey of
Somali refugees arriving in this country with a little more
than hope and determine nation to rebuild our lives. The

(32:03):
Happy Thursday. It is seven six here on the Cacoday
radio program. So let's see, we've covered some vap and
stuff World War II history. You know, sir, when you're
asking the questions about why didn't they just bomb? There's
another big factor too. In addition to what was significant,
although it was waning, but significant, air superiority by the Germans.

(32:27):
The other thing was the element of surprise, which the
whole point of where we landed on D Day was
coordinated with inflatable troops in Britain. You should look look
it up and I'm sure you probably know this, but
you know it was all part of a package deal.
Inflatable troops, fake paratroopers in the Calais area. We convinced

(32:52):
or attempted to convince, and I would say successfully so
the Germans and specifically Hitler and at the Calais Is
where we were coming, because they were fortified all up
that coast. It was really a last ditch on the
Western Front kind of effort thing for them. And so
because they knew that if we were able to land,

(33:14):
the Brits, the Canadians, of course, the Americans, about four
or five other partner nations, some asses that if we
were able to actually land and put boots on the
ground in a significant manner in France there, that was
going to sell. That was going to be big trouble,
big trouble. So part of selling D Day was to

(33:35):
make them think we're coming to Calais. If you start
bombing run the Normandy coast, it's a pretty good tip off. So,
but I don't pretend to understand all of it, but
that would be I think probably two of the big reasons. Okay,
all right, let's oh we talk wood chippers because we
need more of them. We need more of them as

(33:56):
evidence by the two stories I just told you. Maybe
just one big one like a thunderdome. I don't know,
does any can you know I can do like a
fitty at a time or something that maybe that wouldn't
be as satisfying for the victims. Michael, what's up?

Speaker 9 (34:15):
Okay, woodchippers? Got a story to share with you?

Speaker 1 (34:17):
All Right?

Speaker 9 (34:18):
Some years ago I had the opportunity to work with
a prosecutor out of Fargo, North Dakota, and the subject
of the movie Fargo came up, and we discussed the
myth and the legends and so forth, what's true, what's
not true, how much money's married in the snow, and
so forth. Yeah, got around to the fact that it
was a pretty gruesome movie by the standards of the day. Yeah,

(34:41):
And I told him that the part that really caught
me off guard was towards the ending scenes for the
pregnant deputies stalking the chief murder raper Deddy Stabber of
the movie. And you don't know she's gonna make it
or not. She comes around the corner of the leg
sticking out of the wood chipper. Yeah, I said, well,
you know that that could have caught me off guard

(35:03):
compared to everything else. And he started laughing. You said
that was the most unrealistic scene in the movie. Everybody
in North Dakota knows you have to freeze a body
before you put it in a wood shipper.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
Well, and there's another reason too, sir. One, that's a
good point.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
But two, if for maximum wood schippering effect, especially in
the case of some of these criminals.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
You start feet first. If you start headfirst, it's over
too fast, so it clogs up.

Speaker 9 (35:33):
You gotta you gotta out, you gotta work it a
little bit.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
Yeah, no, I hear you.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
So we have like a giant meat grinder because you
know cattle boom right like you like a big like
a big oversized one. I don't know, I I guess
you put a person in there. So this is the
fun stuff we talked about in the morning. But yes, sir, yeah, yeah,
always free it's likely if your slight. If you want
to slice a steak, for Philly cheese steak. The trick

(35:58):
is to partially freeze it first, then you can slice
it thinner. So yeah, all right, thanks for the call there, SIRT,
appreciate it. Cooking tips. You guys didn't know you're getting
cooking tips this morning, did you. That's true though, if
you want a razor thin meat for like making Philly
cheese steak. Stuff, but you want that raise or razor thin,

(36:19):
h freeze that bad boy. Most of the way you
don't have to block freeze it. But if it's partially frozen,
it'll cut very thin. And then once it's cut really thin,
it'll fall very fast. And you get some oil down,
some peppers, some onions, the meat, cook it all up,
throw some cheese over, get that melt. He put it
on an Amorosa roll. You could go hogy, but go

(36:39):
amarosa roll. Let's go very authentic and enjoy. I like
a little hot peppers in there. That's not for everybody.

Speaker 8 (36:48):
You do you.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
Personal preference, and if you're a cheese whiz person, you
do you, but don't try to give.

Speaker 8 (36:57):
That to me.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
I want nothing to do within Look at this, are
you really doing this?

Speaker 4 (37:04):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (37:04):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Hold on, Hold on, hold on. Just saw something.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
Just yes, yes, a new search gets under way today
for Malaysian Airlines Flight three seventy.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
We're still doing that. Oh, you know, he's going to
be super excited.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Don Lemon, who had the greatest interviews surrounding the disappearance
of Malaysian Airlines Flight three seventy back when they still
had that add on TV, he brought in a like
she was like the what was she the Deputy Secretary
of the dot ors I can't remember what it is,
or one of the safety orcs, Like this is an
accomplished woman. She's a very serious woman's very accomplished woman.

(37:43):
She's you know, she has she's a vast retainer of
knowledge surrounding error. She must have been FA or so
it doesn't matter or no, no, that's what she was.
She was National Transportation, National Transportation Safety Administration or whatever.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
This is her jam, this is her thing.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
So they bring this woman on so that she can
talk about transponders and positioning and you know, ocean currents
in the interest of a plane that may have gone
down in the ocean, all of these things. And Don
Lemon goes with this and to her credit, can I
my button bar please Jade that thank you.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
I probably should have warned you.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
And then Don Lemon asked this woman, and to her credit,
she answers, but she answers in the I'm a science
nerd kind of way, which makes it even that much
more funny because she's rather than looking at him going
are you an idiot, she answers, it it.

Speaker 5 (38:37):
Was hijacking or terrorism, or mechanical failure or pilot ara.
But what if it was something fully that we don't
really understand a lot of people have been asking about
that about black holes? Is it pyposters?

Speaker 11 (38:47):
You think, Mary, Well, it is a black hole? Is
about you know, a small black hole would suck in
our entire universe? So we know it's not that.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Yeah, we know it's not that because we're sitting.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
We're not under the most immense pressure equivalent to what
was containing you know, portions of space that we've yet
to understand because we can't see over the event horizon.
Over the event horizon is not in your CNN studio,
Don Lemon, whether.

Speaker 5 (39:17):
It was hijacking or terrorism, or mechanical failure or pilot ara,
but what if it was something fully that we don't
really understand a lot of people have been asking about
that about black holes. Is it paposters?

Speaker 11 (39:28):
You think, Mary, Well, it is a black hole? Is
about you know, a small black hole would suck in
our entire universe?

Speaker 1 (39:34):
So we know it's not that. Oh no, it's okay. Good.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Everybody knows that the inside of the Singularity is out
there is actually Matthew McConaughey in a library, so yeah. Oh,
Christopher Nolan looked us up here about a decade ago.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
So that's good. We like knowledge, all right, So they're
gonna look for that thing again on look. Don't get
me wrong.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
If it turns out it was a black hole, I
will apologize to Don Lemon?

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Is that fair?

Speaker 2 (40:04):
If it turns out that the that Malaysian Airlines Flight
three seventy was sucked into a black hole, I will
apologize to Don Lemon. Do you know the craziest thing
about that is I have flown that route. Yes, when
I went and when I was able to go do
the Asia visit, I was in Malaysia and then to

(40:26):
China and Japan, So I've flown that. I mean clearly
not that plane. Because that plane got sucked into a
black hole. As we know, but it was not even
nearly around the time. It was much earlier, but still
still still still AnyWho. All right, so they're gonna go
look for that thing again, I guess all right, coming

(40:47):
up on the show, where is this?

Speaker 1 (40:53):
Sorry? I saw this.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
Headline, and look, I'm glad people are helping out and
and we're talking about a lot of money here, and
a lot of money not just for the city or
the business associations or any of the rest, but for
all of the people who choose to do business in
the city that are rewarded with business based on the
Raleigh Convention Center because there was a bunch of a

(41:19):
bunch of scheduled stuff coming up, and so the headline
is neighboring towns convention centers offered a host events amid
Raleigh Convention Center cleanup. I'll get into this coming up
next here on the Cacoday Radio program. Various cities with
various convention centers. That's the reason a city builds one, right,
they have people whose job is to go out and

(41:44):
get conventions. Excuse me to cough there.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
Makes sense.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
If you got a convention center, the ideal thing is
to always have a convention going on. Then from a
cash flow standpoint, local businesses around it appreciate that more
will pop up if it's a busy, busy convention center.
Hotels that are in the area obviously will have many
more sold out nights because convention center and conventions around there,

(42:12):
So there is a lot of competition, and so you know,
the size of your venue obviously is important, but also
the amenities that you can provide. It's one of the
main reasons that conversations about convention center in Raleigh, convention
centers in the Triad and in Charlotte right where they

(42:35):
want to expand, but they also want to expand beds,
hotel beds around there, because that is a huge determiner
of which conventions you can host. If there's not enough there.
If there's not enough there, then you're going to miss
out on some of these bigger ones. So all of
that to say, I am not surprised that convention centers

(42:59):
nearby I have stepped up and offer to, you know,
host some of these conventions that were scheduled to come
to Raleigh. Is it a little self serving as I
saw people quote it, Yes, but you got to understand
it's it's It's also very generous in the sense that
if you have a convention coming up, people were already

(43:20):
ticketed to fly in, have hotel reservations, all of these things.
It's not as easy like the airline doesn't care that
the convention center burned your ticket had to come to
the you know, the whatever convention was. What was the
thing last time I was down? Oh, that's very the
very same, that's right. At the very same time, I

(43:42):
was talking about walking down Fayetel Street and smelling weed
the whole time because I met some friends over at
Jimmy Ve's over at the Sheridan there. I walk inside
there and it's a convention of archaeologists and nobody was
wearing an Indiana Jones hat. And then I, being me,

(44:04):
was sitting there at you know, at the restaurant. I
was actually kind of like leaned in trying to grab
a couple of beers because we were sitting out over
on the side there, and I was just chatting with
one of the archaeologists and I started asking about booby
traps and he was not having it. But if you're
an archaeologist, you don't want to talk about booby traps.
I think you're in the wrong profession. I have questions.

(44:32):
Come on, I'm a big child.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
Sometimes.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
If you've never been chased by a boulder while holding
a golden monkey thing, you know, a statue, have you
even archaeologied? If you've never entered a curse tuned a tomb,
didn you call yourself an archaeologist?

Speaker 1 (44:51):
I don't know, That's why I ask. So they got
annoyed with me real quick.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
So you know, you want those things there, and there's
a possible you're in proximity, maybe you can run buses.
I understand that it's not ideal, but this is a
this seems to be filed under you know, poop happens,
and now you've got to make the best of it
and figure out what it is.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
And some of these.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
Conventions, too, are annual. These events are annual, you know.
I mentioned I used to attend shot Show, which is
for firearms and hunting and all that, and something called.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
I Cast, which is the phishing variety of it. And
it's for it's not for the general public.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
It's for media buyers, retailers, you know, people are putting
out product, developers, things like that. It's fascinating you see
all the cool new stuff, and I cast for years
was strictly in Vegas. Year after year after year, Shot
Show would do Miami and then bounce, they bounced to Vegas,
they went back to Miami. It's the whole thing. But

(45:53):
so you have these repetitive you know, clients and customers
and events that come in, and so you want to
do everything in your power to make sure that that
revenue doesn't dry up once you're back up and running.
So you know, kudos, this is this is this is
where local governments can actually do things other than just
trying to make our lives miserable by micromanaging us with laws.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
So I am happy to see.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
That because again I want the city, the city in
which I paid taxes. The city of Raleigh has invested
a crap ton of money in that convention center down there,
and regardless of what you think about it, the money
spent the things there. New hotels have popped up. So
I'm I want to make lemonade, you better cash flow it.
So if if that's what they're going to do, and

(46:37):
there's other other you know, whether it's over to the
Triad or in Rocky Mount or does Fayetteville have a
convention center. Hey, Jade, you lived out of Fayetville. Does
Fayetteville have a convention center that you're aware of? I'm sorry,
I'm bugging poor Jade in there.

Speaker 12 (46:53):
I don't know if we call it the convention center,
but we do have like the Crown Coliseum.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
Crown Coliseum. Yeah, what's the thing downtown? Was it the
marketplace thing? Does that have meeting space?

Speaker 12 (47:05):
I think so?

Speaker 2 (47:06):
Oh can all right? But the point is like, if
we're gonna be able to figure it out, go ahead
and figure it out. So I'm just defending the package.
People are like, oh, of course they offered to host it.
They want all that money. I don't know that it's
going to work like that. But also there is also
the part where if you're the City of Rocky Mount
general manager there who's quoted this article, and.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
It gives you a chance to highlight what you have
to offer.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
Okay, So we'll see how that goes, all right, seven
twenty seven? I can it is very nice out there
for most of the state. I can't say it's going
to stay that way. We'll find out more here in
a little less than ten minutes when we chat with
mister Ray stagic from the Weather Channel. Our phone number

(47:56):
you want to be on the show is eight eight
eight nine three four seven an eight seven four.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
So that's how you make that happen. If you are
so inspired, check this out.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
I can't now Ross isn't here, so I can't play
the Yodler game, but I promise he wouldn't win it,
not today. So back in let's see here. This goes
back to the DNC in twenty twenty four, right, so
this is his address, you know, ahead of his partial

(48:33):
re election run, before the disastrous debate changed everything. One
of the things that was part of the Inflation Reduction Act,
which of course did none of those things. It's like
the Democratic People's Republic of Congo. That's not democratic. It's
not really run by the people. It isn't a Congo.
So there's that, but you get the gist. One of

(48:55):
the things that was in that bill that Biden felt
necessary to brag about was, well, it was two things.
One was building five hundred thousand electric vehicle charging stations.

Speaker 8 (49:10):
As of this year.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
Uh when was this?

Speaker 2 (49:15):
I guess this would be June or the latest numbers.
So as of June of this year, we covered I'm
gonna get to the main story. Just this is the
first part we covered this. They had only built seven,
which if I'm doing the math, hold one, all right,
hang on here, let me all right. So he promised

(49:36):
to build five hundred thousand, and then he built seven.
Let's see if seven is less than five hundred, carry
the one over there to add the role to zero.
Do the weird box thing your kids do. Now with
the new math, that's less, but only four hundred ninety

(49:58):
nine thousand, nine undred and ninety three less.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
So close.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
They spent seven and a half billion dollars to build seven. Well,
I mean they've only built seven. It was a seven
and a half billion dollar allocation. But if you only
have seven to show.

Speaker 1 (50:20):
That's.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
Let's let's see here, that's all right, Then the three
and the pie symbol, then the little thing looks.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
Like a cottage. All right.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
That's over a billion per charging station, which I don't
know how much a charging station costs, but I think
it's normally less than that full disclosure. Not an EV
charging station builder, all right, So that's abysmal. But here's

(50:55):
the crazy new fund one. They also allocated billions of
dollars to switch over the US postal service vehicles to
electric mail trucks.

Speaker 1 (51:09):
In fact, how many were they promising to build?

Speaker 2 (51:12):
Here we go, thirty five thousand, thirty five thousand new
environmentally friendly electric mail trucks which don't work well when
it's cold, but at least it doesn't get cold anywhere
in the US. Rolling my eyes. So how many of

(51:33):
the thirty five thousand, which has how much should we allocate?

Speaker 1 (51:38):
Three billion dollars? All right?

Speaker 2 (51:40):
So of the thirty five thousand we built six hundred
and twelve, which I think is less than thirty five
Hold on, h yeah, but Diagoram theorem button thing.

Speaker 1 (51:57):
Okay, yeah, you know it's a lot les it's a
lot less than what they promised.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
How much is that per I'm sorry, I'm loving my
adding machine this morning because it's just devastating to these
stupid ideas. Three billion, trillion, million gazillion divided by six
hundred and twelve.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
Okay, all right.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
I don't know how much a mail truck costs, but
I don't think it's supposed to cost four point nine
million dollars apiece. Again, not an expert. Maybe somebody in
the automotive indust can help me out here.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
Oh, I have a deal. It's gonna be a great
deal man. So again, just an abysmal failure.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
However, I will argue a less abysmal failure on both
fronts than the the Obama shovel ready jobs battery stuff
right where we gave billions and billions to prop up
that company in Wisconsin that was going to build all
these new, brand new batteries electric vehicle batteries and then

(53:07):
like it turned out, none of the tech works, so
they shuttered the company having never produced any batteries, but
all of the money was gone because the net there
was zero.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
And the irony, of course, is.

Speaker 2 (53:20):
That the level of technology that they were hoping to achieve,
going back to the shovel ready jobs battery fiasco, was
achieved by Tesla independent of that. Now, I understand that
that Tesla was receiving EV subsidies for the sale of
their vehicles, but the R and D for the actual
battery technology was that was being done privately and they

(53:43):
were able to actually achieve it, and they got none
of those dollars. So make of that with you will,
And I think one of the craziest little nuggets of
that is it is one of the things that maybe
the most angry was that some of the patents that
the battery company in Wisconsin whose name escapes me had

(54:07):
when they went through the bankruptcy thing or bought some
of the intellectual property was actually purchased, and one of
the entities that purchased it is an entity that is
a Chinese company, which is you know, in China, part
of doing business in China is a legal obligation to
essentially let the government get up in there and do

(54:29):
stuff in certain circumstances, which is why people look at
companies like Huawei and can't understand why on God's green
Earth any of our intelligence agencies would have even thought
to use Huawei products. The amount of trap doors and
back doors that they found on Chinese tech is pretty crazy.

Speaker 1 (54:51):
And that's at the behest of the government.

Speaker 8 (54:53):
Man.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
That's them wanting to you know, do what China wants
to do, which is dominate the world. Then, don't get
me wrong. You know, back in the day that was
a very popular thing. But you know, hence the sun
never sets on the British Empire, but that's not where
we are today. But China's just you know, they're willing

(55:16):
to do all that stuff, and so taxpayers. I don't
know how that technology was eventually utilized and if it
was productive and it helped move China along. But the
idea that we threw a bunch of money into the
giant money pit, and then the money pit but bankrupt,
and then the money pit intellectual property stuff got sold
over to China.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
For a pittance.

Speaker 8 (55:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
Some people had some problems with that crazy stuff, I know.

Speaker 2 (55:47):
So I'm not surprised that only six hundred and ten
of these electric vehicles, that of thirty five thousand are
actually on the road. That's as by the way, that's
as of the end of November or no, non tenth,
so little a little less than a month ago would
be the timeframe on that. So uh, you know, there

(56:10):
you go, another fine, another fine investment we're very excited about.

Speaker 1 (56:17):
I do not mess around with that, all right.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
Yeah, I figured you deserved the proper INChO because you're
going to crap all over everybody's weekend.

Speaker 8 (56:25):
Yeah, maybe not the weekend, but certainly leading up to it.
Cold air in Wi whether advisories are now up and
they go from Durham, Grandville, Orange Counties and points north basically.

Speaker 13 (56:38):
In the west of that.

Speaker 8 (56:39):
So about there you go around eye forty and this
is for where we may get a glazed up to
half inch to an inch of snow and ice accumulating.
So it doesn't actually include Wake County, So no Raleigh,
but yes, Durham. That doesn't mean we may not see
some snowflakes, but the worst of it, Yeah, probably going
to be north and north.

Speaker 1 (56:59):
So about morning, how about tryad Yeah, try it?

Speaker 8 (57:02):
Did it? Try it? In the Winter Weather Advisory up
to an inch or two as you go north in
each county to get Rockingham, Stokes County, and Caswell County.
That's where you may see an inch or two. Maybe
a little bit more further up near the border. But
either way, tomorrow morning looks like for many maybe a
little bit dicey out there with the mixed precipitation and
just a plane rain later in the morning for just about.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
Everybody, okay, but not me coming into the studio in
the morning. Uh, Wake County basically Raleigh.

Speaker 8 (57:32):
Or downtown might see some snowflakes, but I don't think
it's going to cause any travel trouble.

Speaker 1 (57:37):
Okay, all right, I'll hold it to it. We'll talk
in an hour, thank you, sir.

Speaker 4 (57:40):
Good.

Speaker 1 (57:40):
Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
Race sed Agic from the Weather Channel, all right, seven
forty seven hang on int Allaman's County. Burlington man arrested
for biting a canine officer, not the handler, the dog.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
Nah, see dude, it's the other way around. The dog
bites you.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
Well, he doesn't have to. You could not you know,
run or hide in your surround under shed or pull
a weapon or whatever.

Speaker 4 (58:04):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
Let's see here, Lashawn Crump, who was the police are? Okay?
See they were serving felony warrants?

Speaker 2 (58:16):
Yeah? What was it for property crimes? Well, okay, that's
kind of a catch all. But anyway, he had felony warrants,
so they're gonna go find Lashawn. And they found Lashawan
and Lashawn's like that today, not coming. So now he's
arrested for felony assault on a law enforcement agency animal,

(58:37):
misdemeanor resisting public officers. According to the warrant, Crump allegedly
bit K nine talent where'd he bow on the ear?

Speaker 1 (58:47):
And Talent's fine? Good good.

Speaker 2 (58:49):
That's a good name for a fir missile right there, man,
Talent Talent will be fine, does not require any medical attention.
According to Assistant Chief Josh Light, Oh look, they actually
because you know, an Alamance Countie will actually put your
butt in jail, especially when you went after an officer.

(59:12):
And yes, Canine is an officer. Fifty thousand dollars bond
good on talent, I saw. I don't want to make
fun of anybody's little policey dog's name. Now, tactically it
wasn't a local. It was a drug dog for one
of the federal agencies. And his name was Rose, And
I'm like, I don't know, man. My uncle, my uncle's

(59:35):
us Marshall, and he actually to the two dogs he
had when I was growing up were both retired. One
was a cadaver dog and I forget what the other
one was. They might have both been cadaver dogs because
he worked in Yellowstone and that's generally where you know,
there's not a lot of drugs thing. I mean there are,

(59:57):
I'm sure that's on occasion, but usually they're looking for
somebody who's like, hey, I wonder if I fuf I
go on the other side of the river, if the
bears will let me pet them, And they will once.
So there's that you live in your dream. You don't
like that crazy chicken Gatlinburg who didn't get eaten. And
I still don't know how that video that we still
have on the Twitter account of Casey on the radio.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
Watch out for that. But yeah, that's mostly.

Speaker 2 (01:00:27):
And then really it's kind of it's funny because really
the ninety nine percent of his job it was poachers man.

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
And in fact, in my uncle's office, he no longer
he no longer works for the party.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
He's actually passed on. He had an accident, which I've
talked about on this show. He fell off, fell off
the roof of the barn. And when you live out
in the middle of nowhere and it's winter time in Wyoming,
you may be able to get him into town to
a small hospital, but he needed to go to a
trauma center, and they couldn't get a helicopter in the

(01:01:01):
air to take them to Billings.

Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
And it's part of the trade offs, man. That's why
when I.

Speaker 2 (01:01:06):
See these activists who are demanding that in these very
rural communities they have these state of the art hospitals,
I'm like, that would be nice, but it's not a
basic human right. You make decisions, you decide whether you
want to live near infrastructure or nowhere near infrastructure i e. People,
which a lot of people prefer because sometimes people suck.

(01:01:28):
Those are the trade offs. But they had there was
an elk, a very famous elk whose name was Charger,
and perhaps if he went to Yellowstone at any point
in the nineties into the yeah, basically the nineties, late
eighties into the nineties. This was the cock of the walk,
but there was two of them that were both called Charger.

(01:01:51):
But basically this was the main herd bull, the alpha,
if you will, And he used to like to post
up right as you're leaving Mammoth Hot Springs, you know,
the little center part of the park there, and charge cars.
So they called him Charger. Then one day some guy,
because the elk was famous, some guy showed up with

(01:02:11):
a bow in the middle of the night and winged
one through there, and my uncle caught him, and so
Charger's head was hung in Brian's office, which is probably
not as impressive now, But when I was a kid
telling the rest of my buddies that this famous site,
it's a wyoming thing that was that was it was

(01:02:32):
a little braggadocious about that.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
I thought it was very cool. But any who, all right,
let's see this.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
Oh okay, all right, So Steve, I were just trading
text with our official NERD correspondent, Stephen Ken. So one
of the things we're going to talk about is this
movie called Train Dreams. It is on Netflix, and it's
part of a larger conversation. I watched this movie the
other day. It is really good, but I like those
gritty I don't want to call it a western, almost

(01:03:01):
a frontiersman kind of thing. And if you watch The
Revenant with Leonardo DiCaprio, it has a lot of those
same vibes. No, it's not a movie for everyone, but
if you like this kind of stuff, it's really well done.
Here on the Cacoday Radio program, it is Thursday. Glad
to have you along, and what with the Thanksgiving holiday,

(01:03:23):
you know, last Thursday, obviously Thanksgiving and all of that,
we have not had an excuse me an opportunity to
chat with our official dirt course.

Speaker 1 (01:03:29):
But Stephen kent in a minute and he joins us,
how you doing, Steven?

Speaker 4 (01:03:35):
Hey, I'm doing all right?

Speaker 2 (01:03:36):
Maybe so how brilliant is Ross's baby loophole? So he
doesn't have to come to work again until twenty twenty six.

Speaker 4 (01:03:43):
Huh, well, I do. I want to ask your question,
but your theme music is still playing in my ear
and I can't hear you very.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
Well, little feedback there? Hang on, Okay, all right, is
that better?

Speaker 4 (01:03:55):
That's better. I can hear you now, all.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
Right, cool? Cool? So all right, do you hear the
question or do I have to restated?

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
Now?

Speaker 4 (01:04:01):
Let's try let's try again.

Speaker 2 (01:04:02):
Okay, I said, how brilliant is Ross's baby loopholes so
he doesn't have to come to work till next year?

Speaker 4 (01:04:08):
Yeah? I mean, who made that up? I get this
guy back to work?

Speaker 2 (01:04:11):
Yeah, I don't think that's gonna happen. But have you
thought of maybe, you know, having a baby so you
didn't have to work for a month and a half.

Speaker 13 (01:04:20):
I have.

Speaker 4 (01:04:20):
I have been discussing the creation of a baby with
my significant other, and we'll see how it goes, all.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
Right, Just so I can get off with yeah, you
just got a time it properly, all right? So you
and I just before we were talking about I was
excited to see the text you sent here about this
movie because I had watched this the other day as
part of a larger conversation. But let's just talk for
a moment about the movie, because I got to tell you,
I got to you know, I got about all the
streaming services and every now and then you get a

(01:04:49):
real winner on there, and.

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
It felt it fe it's felt like it's been a
little while.

Speaker 2 (01:04:53):
So and I went into this movie kind of getting
the vibe of it, but not knowing what to expect.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
And this is right in my wheelhouse. It's called train Dreams, and.

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
I would miss describe it as a very gritty but
arguably very accurate portrayal of what it was like to
move westward, but move westward not in the Kandaestoga wagon sense,
but a little later and really have to carve out
the frontier. And it's a beautiful movie.

Speaker 4 (01:05:25):
It is so this movie stars Joel Edgerson. It is
a real piece of art. I mean, this is the
kind of movie that you would typically only see on
the indie film circuit and it would maybe drop into
a movie theater for a single weekend or maybe two.
But on Netflix, I mean, this movie is really raking

(01:05:46):
it in on positive reviews. And like you said, this
is a I don't know what the word would be,
not gritty. It's like a bespoke movie. It's just it's
so subtle and airy, and it's all about the nature
of Idaho in the year nineteen seventeen. And the movie
is just more like listening to birds chirp and trees

(01:06:09):
creak in the wind than it is anything that you
might get in more like a gritty film such as
The Revenant, which you and I were just talking about before.

Speaker 6 (01:06:18):
The show.

Speaker 4 (01:06:18):
And you know, it's gritty in the sense that life
and death is serious out there at this time. You know,
people just die randomly and almost without any sort of
purpose or cause, or it's lawless in many cases. But
it's just a stink and beautiful movie, and it reminds you,
the viewer that the people who were born in that time,
which was still in many ways the Old West in

(01:06:41):
a sense, those people, some of them are still alive,
like their children who were born out there at this
time where people could just shoot one another in the
streets in Idaho, are still walking this earth and wheelchairs aboutbeit.
But this was not that long ago, and I think
we forget that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
Yeah, by the way, and there's you'll you'll recognize the
lead actor. But what's crazy is then there's like there's
there's small parts and played by people like William H. Macy,
which it's that was so good. And I will say this,
and you made the point there. It's gritty, not to
be gritty, it's gritty to be accurate. And as somebody

(01:07:20):
who grew up in the Western United States whose family
went out there in the late eighteen hundreds and but
loved history, love learning about it. We have a great
museum in the town where I went to high school
called the Jim Gatchell Museum. Like that's how it was,
and and the people that went out there to do
things like like I have family members of the original

(01:07:41):
homestead family who were literally killed by crow Indians, like
that that was That's where it was, man.

Speaker 4 (01:07:47):
And yeah, and you know, the one of the background
elements to this movie is that you know, this guy
is a logger out in the woods in Idaho, and
so you know he's able to work, can do logging
through World War One and continue providing lumber for the
country all the way through World War Two. And he

(01:08:08):
kind of surfaces from that world the West and it's
the sixties, and you know, like you just kind of
go decide to go east and all of a sudden,
we're putting men on the moon and we've got electricity
and movie theaters and all that kind of stuff, and
it just it should shake you. It should remind you
that there are so many people, even in our own country,
who are sort of like coming outside and going, what

(01:08:32):
on earth are we up to technologically? Because they've been
living out in the woods. It's pretty wild.

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
And of course, because it's on Netflix, in no way,
shape or form should get any awards.

Speaker 4 (01:08:42):
Right according to James Cameron, which you know, I didn't
even I didn't know before we were going to have
this discussion, you know. Joel Edgarton of Train Dreams actually
commented on this. James Cameron, you know Titanic, The Terminator
and these bizarre Avatar movies.

Speaker 1 (01:09:04):
The Avatar you're not down with the creem.

Speaker 8 (01:09:06):
I am.

Speaker 4 (01:09:07):
I am not not down with the Avatar movies. I
truly find them to be the most strange thing that
ever has been released. But he said that Netflix films
should not be considered for Academy Awards, which is not
a new position. We hear this every so often from
legacy film directors. I think I think Martin Scorsese has

(01:09:28):
this view as well.

Speaker 2 (01:09:29):
Yeah, he's I saw an interview with him where he hedged.
I think he I think he took a lot of
criticism and he kind of hedged. But I also think
it's because Scorsese was doing The Irishman, uh the you know,
he did The Irishman for Netflix. So I think then
all of a sudden he changed his views slightly because
he was acting.

Speaker 3 (01:09:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:09:51):
Yeah, I was going to say that's that's definitely when
he started to change because he put out a great
movie on Netflix, and you know, it's just movies like
train Dreams. You're never going to to see a film
like this unless it is on Netflix. And I will
tell all of you and the Academy knows this. It
is more of a cinema. It is more of a
true Hollywood film than anything James Cameron has produced in

(01:10:13):
the last couple of years. And I say that because
I love James Cameron and a lot of his movies.
I will go to the mat and fight over Titanic
being the greatest movie of all time and I never
seen that's a character flaw for you, Casey.

Speaker 1 (01:10:28):
I made a commitment and I stand by my word.

Speaker 4 (01:10:32):
So now I don't want to spoil it for you.
But you know, I think this just needs to stop.
This is just cronyism for movie theaters. And I love
movie theaters. But when you look at James Cameron's comments here,
this is about protecting and keeping movie theaters open. And
I just don't think you need to throw the door
shut on streaming and Netflix just because you want to

(01:10:54):
keep movie theaters open. There is another way.

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
Yeah, But like everyone is that everyone is trying to evolve.
There was an event that YouTube hosted.

Speaker 1 (01:11:06):
It was it was like get to know Us all
over again event up in New York. The name escapes me, but.

Speaker 2 (01:11:12):
The vibe was they were doing you know how the
TV networks do their their lineup thing, right, Okay, So
it was they were going for that and they had
they had some hand picked creators that are real high
production qualities, some of the some of the better stuff
you see on YouTube. And the reason is is YouTube
realizes they still haven't achieved the types and frequency of

(01:11:36):
advertisers that traditional broadcast media gets, specifically you know network television,
where it's perfectly safe for damn near any brand to
run on any of those shows there because politics, you know,
it doesn't attach to it. The type of delivery doesn't
attach to it. And YouTube wants understandably wants those dollars,
just like iHeartRadio wants those dollars. Everybody wants those dollars.

(01:11:58):
The problem is, do you do you think YouTube, even
though they have the YouTube TV component this was on
their creator side, will ever be viewed in the same
way that network television is, which is something I don't
really even watch that much anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:12:14):
I think the.

Speaker 4 (01:12:15):
Answer has to be yes, and I only say that
out of a degree of humility where we just I
think everything that we assume is going to last forever,
it just can't. It won't. Netflix or network TV has
already been in such dramatic decline for so many years.
It would just be crazy to think that it cannot

(01:12:35):
be replaced. And there is only one thing that exists
out there that is positioned to do that, and it's YouTube.
You can find just about anything you're looking for, their shows,
their content, and also they are curating things that they
know that you want to see. They just rolled out
this new feature called Recap, which you know, I think

(01:12:56):
it's like their take on Spotify wrapped kind of showing
people showing people the kind of stuff that they watch,
and then also serving them new things that are up
their alley. But I think that that's what TV was
always in some sense about, was changing the channels and
stumbling across something that you've never expected to see and
that you like and want to watch. And YouTube is

(01:13:18):
about the only place where that kind of thing happens.

Speaker 1 (01:13:20):
Yeah, I feel I have felt this is me. I
have felt that you.

Speaker 2 (01:13:24):
I've been a premium YouTube subscriber for years. Okay, some
people think that's crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:13:29):
Ah, yeah, yeah, I know.

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
But I enjoy not having to watch any of the
ads because that's packaged in there. And there's a few
other like where you can run it off to the side,
you know, some tech stuff. But I feel like YouTube
has been doing everything in their power to make me
not want to give them seventeen dollars a month. I
love the documentaries and YouTube is a great place. The

(01:13:53):
History Channel uploads damn near everything they've ever done on
their own, so it's not even pirated stuff. It's History
put it out there. The Military Channel stuff's up there.
And then you know, Timeline is a great documentary series
that is a web based one. They do great, but
now all I do is get served AI crap and
like and you sometimes you got to get a few

(01:14:14):
minutes in and then they have to read a number
and it becomes readily apparent it's just AI and.

Speaker 1 (01:14:19):
You're just out.

Speaker 3 (01:14:21):
They do that.

Speaker 2 (01:14:22):
They also, I have no use for YouTube shorts, and
there's no way to get them out of my recommendations.
I don't want them, don't put them out there. They
don't give you that control. They want to force it
down your throat. And then the third thing is they
now keep trying to pimp channels where you have to
then be a paid subscriber to the channel to get

(01:14:43):
the content. So they tease you with a video, I'm like, yeah,
I really want to watch that, and then even though
I've already paid YouTube, I have to then independently pay
the creator there. And I don't blame necessarily the creator,
but I'm not doing that. It's not going to happen.
And I don't know if that's their version of having
basic cable and then trying to sell you an HBO upgrade,

(01:15:05):
but I don't think it works in that environment.

Speaker 4 (01:15:08):
Yeap, yeap. I completely agree YouTube as their limitations, their
limitations to the appeal of that entire platform. But we'll
see where it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:18):
Goes, all right, So let's talk another Netflix product now.
I will tell you I dipped out after season two,
and I sure as hell wasn't going to dip back
in after watching the training montage of the Little Psychic Girl.
Did you do you see that that preview for Stranger
Things where she's doing the karate kid Rocky training montage?

Speaker 1 (01:15:40):
I thought it was absurd. How's the show? How's the show?

Speaker 4 (01:15:43):
Though the show leaves a lot to be desired. I
think there are some elements in which Stranger Things has
just overstayed. It's welcome, and at a certain points you're
you're like, Okay, this is not These are not children anymore.
This was in many ways a sort of Goonies type show,
and it had that kind of charm, and that really

(01:16:06):
has a lot to do with the age of the kids.
And we missed the boat on this show wrapping up neatly.
Season four had a chance to be over while they
were still young. And then we had a pandemic, and
then we had the Riders strike and now the main star,
the Psychic Maly Bobby Brown. I mean, she's got like
plastic surgery and botox at age like twenty one or something.

(01:16:27):
It's bizarre, and all of their co stars look like
they're in their thirties. Now, you could say that most
eighties and nineties movies, you could say that most old
movies cast people in their twenties and thirties to be teenagers.
But it's just not a good show anymore. And the
dialogue is incredibly wooden and stunted, and I just wanted

(01:16:47):
to be over.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
Yeah. One of the biggest problems I think when you're
doing a show that involves kids like that, and it's
not necessarily their fault is the.

Speaker 1 (01:16:57):
Huge swaths of time between c seasons.

Speaker 9 (01:17:00):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:17:01):
I might work with adults, but when you're when you're
starting out and you're just hitting puberty, just to get
four seasons in and already you're applying for college is
a bit of a problem.

Speaker 6 (01:17:15):
Yep, for sure.

Speaker 4 (01:17:15):
No, I you're your producer answering the phone.

Speaker 1 (01:17:18):
Back, all right, yea, hang on a jade? Well all right, well.

Speaker 4 (01:17:28):
But yeah, so stranger Things. It will it will be
over soon, the suffering will be done. I don't know
how the ratings are for this show right now, but
I will tell you that a lot of the people
I know who watch this show and you ask them
if they've begun season five, they kind of shrug and go,
what yeah, because most people assume this show ended by now.

(01:17:50):
So this is what happens when you take a good
thing too far?

Speaker 3 (01:17:53):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:17:53):
Lastly, so I don't know why it is getting so
much press, but Quentin tearing Tino did a thing where
he named his top twenty movies of all time, and
he staggered he did ten last week and then ten
this week, and everybody's talking about it. Are you fascinated
the Quinton Tarantino's According to him, the best movie ever
is Black Hawk Down, followed by Toy Story three, followed

(01:18:16):
by Lost in Translation at three, Dunkirk it before, and
There Will Be Blood at five.

Speaker 4 (01:18:25):
You know he has good taste. I've never personally liked
Clinton Tarantino films, and this is just one of my
opinions valuable. I'll fight and die on that hill, but
he's right, those are great films, and Black Hawk Down.
I would never have pegged that for his favorite movie
or the best movie of all time, But boy, is
that movie a piece of art. They just don't make

(01:18:46):
many war movies like that.

Speaker 1 (01:18:47):
Yeah, and it holds up too.

Speaker 2 (01:18:48):
I hadn't watched it in a long time, and I
watched it a few months ago just because it was ray.
It was on one of the streaming services. Still, so
good Man, such a good movie. All right, Oh, just
let me round out his top five, so I just
have a moment mad Max Fury Road Unstoppable.

Speaker 1 (01:19:05):
That's a good movie. Zodiac did enjoy that.

Speaker 2 (01:19:09):
Number nine Sean of the Dead, okay, and number ten
Midnight in Paris, Little Woody Allen homage there. All right, well, Steven,
I appreciate it this morning. We'll chat next week and
see what's happening then.

Speaker 4 (01:19:21):
Okay, thank you, Casey, thank you Jade.

Speaker 2 (01:19:24):
All right, there you go, Steven kent here. By the way,
Jade's favorite show, she just told me, is Stranger Thing.
So I may ask her about that when we return,
but for now we'll go ahead and take a break.
Lots to get into in the final half hour, hang on.
Thank you to Steven for coming in and talking movies
and everything else. Jade, I didn't realize you were a

(01:19:44):
Stranger Stranger Things addict. Oh yes, you watching every single
episode thus far.

Speaker 14 (01:19:52):
Every single episode, and when the new season was announced,
I went ahead and watched every season, every episode, also
the day that.

Speaker 12 (01:20:00):
It came out. And I buy the merchandise, and I
buy the snacks and the food that they come out with.

Speaker 1 (01:20:05):
So what is it about the show?

Speaker 2 (01:20:06):
Like I said, I did the first two seasons, and
I don't know, for whatever reason, I just kind of
lost interest.

Speaker 1 (01:20:10):
But what makes you a super fan about it?

Speaker 6 (01:20:12):
Other?

Speaker 1 (01:20:12):
You know, it's got a ton of North Carolina connection,
which we can talk about.

Speaker 12 (01:20:16):
But I think that what.

Speaker 14 (01:20:19):
Makes me love it so much is I guess what
he was saying earlier, Like I did start watching it
when they were like little kids and then they grew up.
But I'm a sci fi fan, and I didn't realize
I was such a big sci fi person until I
started watching this show and I realized, I've watched other
things like that.

Speaker 12 (01:20:36):
I'm big into anime, sci fi, all of that stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:20:40):
I gotcha, I gotcha. I love the local lore on
this stuff too.

Speaker 2 (01:20:44):
Obviously, the guys who came up with it Twins were
raised in Durham, spent time in Greensboro there.

Speaker 1 (01:20:50):
It's the Duffers, I believe, is there yea and the
Duffer Brothers. Yeah, Duffer Brothers. That's cool. I love the
I do like the do you know the Big Hole theory?
Are you on that?

Speaker 12 (01:20:59):
The Big Hole?

Speaker 2 (01:21:00):
All right, So there's there's a thing in Chatham County
near Pittsburgh that people call the Hole or the Big Hole,
and there's all sorts of lore, but the one piece
of low is that it was the inspiration for the facility,
the research facility.

Speaker 12 (01:21:17):
Oh I have to go see this.

Speaker 1 (01:21:19):
Oh yeah, well, you can go up to the fence.

Speaker 2 (01:21:22):
Right, there's a I'll even show you where it is
on the map, and you know, you take a drive
over there if you want later today. Yeah, you can
go up to the fence and it's it has signage
for AT and T on it. But the lore is
that it was commissioned in the sixties. I don't think
that that's lore. I think that's pretty trackable. So cold work,
cold war kind of stuff, telecommunications monitoring, the you know

(01:21:46):
what a COG facility is, Okay, it's called a continuity
of government and so it's like the secret you know,
you're in the sci fi where the world's ending and
they take the president and stick them in a bunker.

Speaker 1 (01:21:57):
Okay, that's a COG facility.

Speaker 2 (01:21:59):
And and so the biggest, the biggest one that we
know about or knew about, and the one that's kind
of the most amazing is the facility that's under the
Greenbrier Resort up in West Virginia, which actually was the
official continuity of government site for the president and you know,
the muckety MUCKs and government, and then it got exposed
in the nineties and they decommissioned it. But there's a

(01:22:20):
switchboard in there, and the switchboard has a direct connect
to something labeled Chatham, and so everyone just assumed that that's.

Speaker 1 (01:22:28):
What it was down there. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:22:30):
The Duffer brothers have confirmed that that was the inspiration,
but it's a it's a it's a piece of lore
there and like the buildings look weird and and they've
speculated that there's seven stories underground.

Speaker 1 (01:22:45):
I don't know that it's active anymore, but I don't
know that it's not.

Speaker 14 (01:22:49):
Yeah, don't get me started. I'm a big person that
goes down rabbit holes with things. I'm all conspiracies. I
fortunately do those type of things because you never.

Speaker 1 (01:22:59):
Know what's the monster, what's the big monster?

Speaker 2 (01:23:03):
No, no, no, but what are they called in the
first season, Uh, the mind Flair mind Flavor. Yeah, so
if you go out there and you see a mind player,
you gotta let us know.

Speaker 14 (01:23:11):
Okay, yeah, I might come back with superpowers. You never know,
I might come back being able to live things, or
or you end up like.

Speaker 1 (01:23:18):
That chick in the pool.

Speaker 12 (01:23:19):
Oh no, that can't be me.

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
Okay, all right, So look, like you know, if you
want to, if you want to nerd out, there's something
that's really cool about that. Do you guys remember a
TV show called Longmire. It was so basically the crux
was set out west. Uh, there's you have the sheriff,
and then you have the Native American community there. So
the guy who wrote that, Craig Johnson, is a guy

(01:23:42):
who's from where I am. He's about to say, he's
slightly older than me. Uh, and he still lives out
in Claremont, Wyoming.

Speaker 1 (01:23:49):
And so it was a big deal where I grew up.

Speaker 2 (01:23:52):
Because the characters in the Longmire series books, which eventually,
of course we're on AMC TV, are so closely clearly
copies of people from our hometown that it actually made
some people mad. Like I can tell you characters in

(01:24:12):
Longmire the name of the person that it's portrayed. The
problem is people love that you kind of took inspiration
from them, and tell your character on the show turns
out to be an a hole, and then all of
a sudden, all of a sudden, you're not happy about it.
And in fact, they it was so popular and so
embraced out there in Buffalo, Wyoming that the town festival,

(01:24:34):
which used to be called Buffalo Days, got changed to
Longmire Days, like and and was really embraced with the
fan and they still do it out there.

Speaker 1 (01:24:43):
But you know, so that's cool.

Speaker 2 (01:24:44):
So if you're a you know, if you grew up,
especially if you grew up over in Chatham County in
North Carolina, the.

Speaker 1 (01:24:49):
Big Hole, what's the other on Devil's Tramping Ground?

Speaker 3 (01:24:53):
Like these?

Speaker 1 (01:24:54):
And and eat?

Speaker 2 (01:24:54):
You know, everybody, every little spot's got their thing, just
not all of them end up being portrayed in popular media.
So I understand the cool factor, especially if you know,
I grew up around Pittsburgh or points west of there
to see some of these things and wonder if it
was inspiration for this very very popular series.

Speaker 1 (01:25:16):
I think it's incredibly.

Speaker 2 (01:25:18):
Cool, all right, eight eight eight nine, three four seven
eight seven four. So Jade's gonna go look for a
Dema Gorgan. We maybe should be able to report tomorrow
on that. Check this out. In fact, we're gonna do this.
Let's go ahead and do it right. Let me have
my button bar. If you don't mind their jade, Florida.

Speaker 10 (01:25:41):
Then Florida then is something in the waderty errors hand
that made should do all that crazy crap. That's like
the state is one week dumb ass trap. Nowhere else
has the Florida Man. It is almost like as the
Weird Factor climbs that you find out.

Speaker 1 (01:26:01):
In Florida every time. Florida, then Florida Man.

Speaker 10 (01:26:05):
If anyone can cheer me if you know you can't
just mind life you crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:26:09):
But of course, but it's not.

Speaker 10 (01:26:10):
It's not crad crazy as yours. Nowhere else are you
gonna find him. They're so used to it they don't find.

Speaker 1 (01:26:18):
Him ready for Florida Man.

Speaker 2 (01:26:22):
And we go to Orange Park, Florid, duh, where a
door dash delivery driver who was delivering some delicious chicken
wings forgot that a bunch of people have cameras.

Speaker 1 (01:26:33):
A frother house will ring doorbell action. So basically on
the video he's showing up.

Speaker 2 (01:26:41):
He goes to he's got the hot box, you know,
the little insulated thing there, and he's going to get
the food out of it. Okay, good, all's normal, unfortunately,
and I share the pain because I actually had one
of those little plastic to go containers the other day
slip off the top of another one because it's just
grease lighting and all my food's billed. But so it
slides with the one of the containers with the chicken

(01:27:03):
wings slides out of the box, and I'm trying to think,
is that looks like is that pizza hut? Because he's
got pizzas there too. With the way, I don't know,
it doesn't matter. And the plastic tray opens and one
of the chicken wings ends up on the pavement right
the walkway, right in front of the house, and the

(01:27:25):
delivery driver immediately grabs the chicken wing and throws it
back in the box. Now, the homeowner obviously saw this
on the camera, and actually he does a couple of things,
so the chicken wing comes out, he grabs the chicken wing,
and since the chicken wing's all sauced up, sauce is
now aw smeared on the on the concrete, so he

(01:27:46):
uses his shoe to kind of like rub the sauce
in or you'd see the sauce mark. And then he
licks his fingers because he just handled the chicken wings
with his bare hand and just gives it to the
customer like that. And then you know, the video is
going viral pretty quickly. Here, let's see the disgusted customer
TRENDA Brown share the ring camera footage.

Speaker 1 (01:28:09):
Now, now let me let me say this, Ms. Brown.

Speaker 2 (01:28:13):
Clearly, the chicken wing has been has been re attached
or or re homed inside of the five second rule.
And like nobody, nobody's pointing that out. There's a lot
of things people don't point out that's inside the five
second rule. So maybe you don't abide by that. I'm kidding. Obviously,

(01:28:37):
this is that's that's really gross for obvious reasons.

Speaker 1 (01:28:44):
All right, is that Ray call?

Speaker 8 (01:28:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:28:45):
That's Ray call it there. We'll grab him here in
just a moment.

Speaker 2 (01:28:49):
But let's see here, So they suspend the guy, what
do they do, I don't know, you still eat the
chicken wing. Maybe maybe if he disclosed it, I don't know,
I'd have to inspect it again inside the five second rule.

Speaker 1 (01:29:09):
Let's see. Brown told the Ala that her family never
would have known one of the wings touched the.

Speaker 2 (01:29:13):
Ground if it weren't for the security footage. So did
she eat it? That's what I'm trying, Kau. I can't
understand just checking your security footage for normal delivery, especially
if it's just leave it by the front door. They'll
send you a picture and then you know it's there.
M Brown reveals, though they have not ordered takeouts since
the since the incident, I guess I understand that. All right,

(01:29:35):
Let's see what raced Agic from the Weather Channel thinks,
mister raced Ajic. So if the door dash delivery guy
actually drops your food at the door doorstep, one chicken
wing comes out inside of five seconds, he grabs it
off your patio, puts it back in there.

Speaker 1 (01:29:50):
That's good right inside five seconds?

Speaker 4 (01:29:53):
Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (01:29:53):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (01:29:54):
I win?

Speaker 8 (01:29:54):
Did good? Not hide me pied? It could lay there
all afternoon. I'll go out there pick it up later.
Wingy neander fall man here watch out.

Speaker 2 (01:30:06):
I mean, if it's the right sauce and it's my
favorite wing place, I have an hard argument not to
unless as long as it doesn't have something visibly attached
to it, exactly.

Speaker 8 (01:30:15):
Chunky blue cheese can the only thing I want to
attached to that.

Speaker 1 (01:30:18):
Yeah, yeah, and the blue cheese kills germs. I think
so that well it does now.

Speaker 2 (01:30:23):
Yeah, and maybe just maybe the next delivery will have
snow on the ground that it can fall into snow
and it's even better.

Speaker 8 (01:30:30):
Yeah, you could. And if you're further north Caswell, Person,
Grandville Counties, Vance County's better chance of slushy accumulation or
of a nature or two. You come into Alamance and
over toward the east into Durham County including Durham maybe
up to slushy edge, and then further south including Raleigh

(01:30:51):
and down near places further south or Feyville. Probably just
a plane ring with some mixing early. This is all
late tonight tomorrow morning. So no problems today as we
could you need to have. I'll looks to be a
pretty decent day with temperatures climbing closer to maybe the
upper forties to low fifties, and then tonight we'll see
that rain come in late with snow north and the
rain and snow I think, and around the triangle, the

(01:31:13):
tryad's probably going to be more snow to start, maybe
some mixing as the morning goes on and further north
east stays snow longer. So let's say Triad expect Winston,
Salmon points north of Interstate forty. Maybe some travel troubles,
especially off the major interstates, the back roads, et cetera,
et cetera, and then we'll probably all rain it to
late morning, depending on your location. In a cold day tomorrow,

(01:31:34):
case only in the upper teens. I think we're going
to be in good shape Saturday for the ACC Championship.
Small chance of rain in the afternoon. I really think
it's going to pass south of US, but it's going
to be chilly, low thirties in the morning, upper forties
in the afternoon, dropping into the thirties that night.

Speaker 1 (01:31:49):
Okay, all right, thank you sir.

Speaker 2 (01:31:51):
We'll chat to Barro, have a good one, and we'll
come back with Denise PELAGREENI next, Denise, good morning, what's happening?

Speaker 13 (01:31:57):
Hey, good morning to you. We're watching the d bill
for Paramount sky Dance and Warner Brothers Discovery. It's bid
for Warner Brothers Discovery because Paramount sky Dance is sweetening.
It's been now more than doubling the proposed breakup fee
in the offer to five billion dollars. Netflix and Comcast
have put in competing bids. Amazon apparently is considering cutting

(01:32:18):
ties with the Post Office. You know, Amazon is the
Postal Service's top customer, gives more than six billion dollars
in annual revenue to the agency this year, and loss
could really be a big disaster for the mail agency.
Washington Post says Amazon is now considering cutting its business
ties with the USPS, and of course the Postal Service

(01:32:40):
has already been posting massive losses. US Vaccine Panel is
poised to delay a hepatitis BEE shops for newborns. The
shots are from MERC and GSK. There could be a
business impact there also. You know, Hepatitis B shots for
newborns have led to a ninety nine percent decline in
infections and children and teen since to see DC started
recommending them in the early nineties. Older Americans are apparently

(01:33:05):
divorcing in droves, fueling business for certified divorce financial analysts,
as older people tend to have more wealth and need
help special help untangling it all and figuring out where
to invest it in the future. The number of certified
divorce financial annos has jumped forty percent in the past decade.

(01:33:25):
If you're looking to make more money. A GameStop customer
is traded in a protomon card for a record thirty
thousand dollars now, so it is tell Bloomberg. President Trump's
aids and allies are discussing the possibility of making Treasury
Secretary Scott Besson the top White House economic advisor. I
would be in addition to his current job if Kevin
Hassett becomes the next chair of the Federal Reserve. We

(01:33:46):
do have some positivity this morning on Wall Street as
traders gear up for a year end rally. Right now,
Dow futures are up twenty eight, SMP futures up three
NESDAV futures, though they're taking it, they're down twenty three
right now. Sixty five inch Mac and Cheese box case
he sold out at Walmart in minutes Black Friday. The
box has sixty five smaller boxes, and it sold at

(01:34:08):
more than seventy five percent discount compared to if you
bought them individually. USA Today says they went on sale
really fast, even though they put him on sale as well.

Speaker 2 (01:34:19):
Well, well, I'm sorry, did you just say they're selling
a five and a half foot tall Mac.

Speaker 13 (01:34:23):
And cheese sixty five inch box.

Speaker 1 (01:34:26):
That'd be roughly five and a half fee, wouldn't it.

Speaker 13 (01:34:28):
Yeah, and it has sixty five and it has sixty
five little box well little sixty five meal sized boxes
in it.

Speaker 2 (01:34:36):
All right, I misunderstood. I thought it was I who's
eating that much. My roommate in college might have eaten
that much.

Speaker 13 (01:34:42):
Mac and cheese and Ramen.

Speaker 1 (01:34:44):
Yeah, exactly, you got to use it. They saw it
Ramen the size of a car.

Speaker 12 (01:34:48):
Is that a thing they do?

Speaker 13 (01:34:50):
And I was trying to figure that out too, Like
do you just like dip your tin cup in this
thing and take out a cup of mac and cheese
and then a cup of the powder and kind of
makes it? But no, it's little boxes. But they weren't
like a seventy five percent discount, and people just suck
these things right up. A couple more stories I want
to tell you about. I'll try to be really fast.

Speaker 4 (01:35:09):
This is crazy.

Speaker 13 (01:35:10):
Babies younger than two years old are flocking to YouTube.
Pure Research says that cohort and their viewership for that
Cohort has jumped more than any other group on YouTube
babies are watching YouTube kids they watch at least once
a day. And here's the other crazy one, tired Americans
spending a lot just to avoid doing chores. I can

(01:35:33):
sympathize with that, including paying two thousand dollars for a
washer dryer combo that does a load of laundry for
you in under two hours, a seventeen hundred dollars oven
that claims to make restaurants style pizza at home in
two minutes, and an eighteen hundred dollars styler closet casey.
With the press of a button, it deodorizes stems and
lightly dries your clothing. Hopefully it dries it all the way.

Speaker 8 (01:35:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 13 (01:35:58):
I was a little skeptical about that.

Speaker 1 (01:36:00):
Sounds weird. You ever have a steam dryer.

Speaker 4 (01:36:03):
I do, but I never used it, so I haven't.

Speaker 2 (01:36:06):
I had a driver that was that was steam was
the way that it dried, and it's you open it
up right when it's done, and the clothes all feel wet,
and then it's the moment you take them out there
they feel dry.

Speaker 1 (01:36:17):
It's the craziest thing.

Speaker 6 (01:36:19):
So that is really weird.

Speaker 13 (01:36:20):
I don't understand. I guess it keeps it from wrinkling.

Speaker 2 (01:36:23):
Well, I just I think it does. But it also
takes it to a temperature where it just evaporates off.
Then when you pull it out against normal temperature or something.

Speaker 1 (01:36:31):
I don't know. I'm not a scientist, all right, Denise,
take it very much. I appreciate it. There you go,
Denise Peligree from Bloomberg News
